HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF '32 IES? Yes, famous, faithful, fearless, frisky Freshies! From the first moment they reached the" Hill "-green, as all Freshmen are bound to be-they made history for their class. Whether it was some gay lark or a serious responsibility, they entered it with equal spirit and good fellowship. That one jolly, helpful week the" Hill" belonged to the Freshmen; they ruled supreme. The first great event introducing them to college life was the reception by the President, where they became acquainted with the Faculty and with their classmates. There followed a host of lectures and social activities, all serving as means of orientation. The next week was indeed a truly memorable one. All were occupied with the selection of first-term courses, and -yes! The" Sophs " returned" in all their glory"! On September 18, Freshman rules were begun. Freshie girls with green bows and conspicious name tags, Freshie boys in "rat" caps and artistic ties, might have been seen" stepping" any time to the command of their superiors. But all was done in such a fine spirit of sportsmanship and fun. One evening in mid-October, the girls emerged from" under the yoke," but it was not until November 2, when the Sophomore standards were master- fully hauled down in the color rush, that the boys won their well-deserved "freedom." The Class of '32 has written its name in the annals of athletic and scho- lastic activities alike. Under capable leadership in football and basketball, the class' teams made splendid showings. In boxing, too, the" rats" were far from being in the background. Moreover, the co-eds captured the inter-class fieldball championship, and did consistently fine work in basketball as well. It is not to be supposed, however, that their record has been less colorful with regard to other activities. College is, after all, primarily a place for study, in spite of some opinions to the contrary. Freshman courses open many page one hundred fifty-eight
