In a very real sense, we, the older members of the college family, stand at the threshold of Western Carolina Teachers College to extend to you, our new-found friends, cordial greetings. Our greeting is made more ardent, more heart-felt, and sincere, because of our conviction that you represent a choice segment of our common humanity. You are surely a select group. Of course, you come from homes of varied social and intellectual status. In that respect you unquestionably represent the democracy of America. As such, we greet you today with all heartiness, i Your coming to us is not only significant because of who you are; but its significance derives from the fact that your coming brings with it a superb opportunity to us. Our teaching staff, our college officers, live, if we live at all, through being privileged to be your helpers and comrades for these college days. We hope to find a sort of immortality in service to you. May we, student and college representatives alike, feel this meeting together on our college campus today, not only pleasant to remember, but significant in some deeper sense.

We could be catty and call you "green" but it is our policy to be kind to the less fortunate. You probably think you're hep, jive, slick and all the rest. In that case, I have a special pin for that big red balloon. The worm crawls again. The new girls look pretty sharp but young. Now that could be good, or it could be disastrous. Here's some brotherly advice: watch your step. Many are the sighs in the direction of the football squad. If faint hearts are back in style, call me "weeping willow"! The new lineup seems to be in good shape, and I'll stake my rep by predicting that boodling will reach an all-time high this season! All in favor say "Aye"! To acquaint the freshmen with the campus figures and review old memories, let's try a flash-back to last spring quarter— When Mackie Wright wanted to! be "carried back to old Va." because Dan Robinson was in Newport News. Tom Garland "subbed." Last summer it was Buddy Thig- pen and Tom Parker. Now Dan's back. And apartment hunters got tahoo slips while Puritanism attained the heights on the campus, especially in Women's House Government. Jim Bryson gave Tubby the "have to study" alibi and met Loee Alley in secluded corners. Tubby's at Furmam -this year; but Loee got heself In love with a V. P. I. tornado last summer. CAN Jim make the grade any more? June Wright ran for Brown who ran for senator. She spent the summer getting a much needed sun- tan in N. J. while Mace was true (because there was nothing else to run for or after). Betty Brown" had more interests than any "Woman in love" that we know. Local color was one big theme and Brevard college another. Mary Katherine Sebastion and Fred King started a new chapter. Here's to a book! Howard Barnwell continued his shopping. Things are still hard to find. Ellen Burnette and Bobbie Haynes were the sweetest couple. Mrs. Rand made a darling dean and there was a hey-day at Cully in spite of Faye Stewart's and Sue Norman's valiant efforts to "ketch" someone. Then there was the Galloway, Johnson, Moody, McRainey square. Thanks to Dan Glenn and Blackie Clark, it was broken to a degree. We still wonder why Madrie spent the summer quietly in Boodleville. We also wonder if Bob Pitillo changed his middle name to "Halo" just so Ruby G. could be happy. Very little of interest happened in summer school but you may be interested to know that Bob Chambers acquired a wife and expressed a desire for five more- John Moore datea everybody and nobody including Charlotte Fields, the freshman "song bird". Rumors have it that he ranks low in boodleology. Rachel Baker had town interest during first session and left for St. Louis and California the last one. Helen Haithcolk made a play for J. C. Fisher, or vice versa. Cat Meadows gave up and married Woodrow Rogers. And—Toot- sie Steward decided to teach. J. B. dated Hazel. We thought it was a good deal. It lasted all summer. We still think it'll do. Joe Hunt, Darlene Wallin and Bruch Chester were the chief suckers. Neck-to-neck. Seven girls were singing "you two-timed me one time too often" to Pete Thompson. After the first summer session he went home to recuperate. T. J. Got a sudden yen for Wayne Gentry and Grace Wingo went in for heavy weights. Jaxie and Jim Banks, and Lillian and Stott got right monotonous. Mabel and Max fell in love. Max took a summer breather with Harriet Eliot. Or course, Mabel knew!
