FRESHMEN ADVISORY COUNCil CATHERINE ARENDT Co-Chairman With our green and gold welcome posters, we ushered the freshmen into Orientation Week by helping them carry in belongings, settle their rooms, and reassure misty-eyed parents. Their normalcy and eagerness to adjust destroyed our dreams to be arm-chair psycholo- gists, as forewarned by the Dean and his counseling staff, but we proceeded with undaunted vigor to indoctrinate our charges, officially and unofficially, into life on the Hill. At the colloquium sessions we discovered that these freshmen came equipped with critical minds and sat back in awe as they told us about Socrates. During the mixers, sports events, and the picnic, we found our senior assurance infected with their enthusiasm and dis- covered a new sense of appreciation within ourselves for a campus slightly dulled by our three-year familiarity. New faces, new blood, new ideas, new personalities-they didn't really need our advice as much as our friendship, which we willingly gave them. We, the teachers, were retaught the excitement of college life. First row, lelt to right: D. Rayfield, P. Bobbett, J. Jones, F. Thomas, M. E. Coleman, 1. Garvin, S. Snodgrass, M. Dilson.
