JANUARY
AFTER the Christmas holidays, the pass-word was
"die t. " After classes started on January sixth, everybody
busied themselves finishing the semester
w ith term papers and outside readi ng. T he tenth
brough t us the biggest snow in years. The sidewalk
from Pattie Cobb to the Student Center was a
virtual no-man's land after the snow-ball brigade
mobilized. The Petit Jean Queen nominees were
presented in chapel on the eighth while the M ay
Queen nominees were presented on the fourteenth.
Who's Who Awards were m ade in cha pel on the
twenty-third (It's a good thing tha t they were all
ther e! ) ' and "The Robe': was presented tha t evening.
The month ended with those dreaded exams.
FEBRUARY
MANY new faces accompanied February as we
registered on the second for the new semester.
There was a meeting of the Studen t Association
tha t evening with "en tertainment." W e'll all remember
the Academy Senior play "Great Expectati
ons" given as well as the Rondoliers. The tacky
party was held in the dining hall; Pat Fogerty,
Kathleen Arnold, Dennie H all, and Ralph Odom
won the prizes for the night. The highlight of the
mon th was the H arding IRC United Sta tes delegation
participating in the model U. N . at David Lipscom
b College. A huge pep rally, including cheerleaders,
gave them a big sendoff on the twentysecond,
after the "glorious leader," alias Dr. Kenney,
was exalted and various testimonials made.
MARCH
MARCH began with "The Importance of Being
Earnest. " The basketball season finished with the
Bison All-Star gam e on the sixth. Ken Noland and
Jeanne Bankston were elected to state office at the
FT A convention on the thirteenth, and on that
same day, the Senior class went to Camp W yldewood
for a nice, windy outing. On the eighteenth,
the Jr.-Sr. Banquet was held at the Rendezvous to
the theme of an Irish H oliday. The twenty-sixth
was the most famous day of this month, or this
year! Harding was accepted by the North Central
Association. The old Godden bell rang for five
minutes to announce the acceptance, followed by
several speeches on a bench by the side of the bell
tower. That night we had three consecutive meetings.
First the meeting a t the College Church, then
Marais and Miranda, and then a rally with the
band, Dr. Benson, and everything! What a night!
WHAT were the Home Ec. girls serving this time?
JANUARY 10 - the big snow.
NOT A FRESHMAN, just a green sophomore.
THE BEGINNING of good entertainment.
