Freshmen THEY LEARN BY MISTAKES Upon entering Harding University for the first time, members of the freshman class were filled with mixed emotions . They were ecstatic to be away from home and out on their own but were also a little unsure of themselves about the responsibility side. At high school they had been "Big Men on Campus" and now they were knocked off the top rung of the ladder down to the bottom forced to start a ll over again. Freshmen ClaN Officers.

During the first weeks of school it was quite easy to single the freshmen out. They were the ones asking where the American Studies Building, the Mabee Building or the Benson Auditorium were located . They 252 htrtc:.. Ann Abem . Searcy, AR Brent Larn., AbMy . Fairview.

Schaumburg, IL Freshmen , were the ones who never brought their I. D. cards with them to the HUB and still attempted to cash a check. They were the ones who eVidently went to each social club mixer in an attempt to find the one best-suited for them. Finally , they were the ones who were hit the hardest when mid-term grades came out and he or she realized that studying was a necessity in passing a class. Getting to meet new people was just one of the many experiences freshmen dealt with. Harding has students from California , Florida , New York , Kansas and Arizona just to name a few. Going to the many freshmen mixers sponsored by the S.A. was just on of the many activities for the . new students. They were given a week of their own separate chapel in which they were Informed about Harding's policies and met many of the faculty. The freshmen students learned from their peers about the set curfew and dreaded "dermed" and which instructor to take which class under. They learned that one does not wash a pink sheet with one's whites or that some instructors make it the student's responsibility to go to class. All in all , the freshmen class seemed great. The special atmosphere of caring and understanding was strong in this class and with all the spontaneous energy they brought they made H.U.'s campus greater still. & - Susie Clark
