GET ACQUAINTED NIGHT
At ssoo P.M. Thursday, Sep
tember 23, the cry of "get your
own sticks" rang out on the High
acres Campus as Freshman and Soph
omore alike raided the surround
ing woods for those primitive
cooking tools on which to roast
hot dogs. Everyone then pro
ceeded ‘to devour several pounds
of hot dogs and drink a keg of
soda. After they could eat and
drink no more, everybody headed
for the garden. Here they spent
some time with Penn State tra
dition in the form of slides,
narrated by Professor Lynch of
the University Park Campus. The
slides showed the development of
Penn State from a farmer's high
school into a prospering univer
sity. This proved to be an en
joyment to all who were present.
Afterwards, a Bermuda dance
was held in the Student Union •
Building. Tom Prebula, chairman
of the Social Activities Commit
tee, said that approximately 325
people attended. He also said
that the dance was a success, but
that he had expected to see more
Freshmen present. Ognir and the
Nite People played, and this
reporter is sure that the stu
would enjoy having them play
These activities, the first
of a long list of social!affairs,
helped all attending Freshmen
feel a part of Highacres.

And then there was the deaf mute
who fell into a well and broke
three fingers yelling for help.

ORIENTATION WEEK
Orientation week was held Septem
ber 20-24 * It proved to be very bene
ficial to the incoming Freshmen here at
Highacres. Throughout the various edu
cational lectures, the students disco
vered themselves in a position far dif
ferent from that of today's high school
student. He found himself going through
a whole new cycle of readjustment to
the new teaching methods which he would
encounter. He might have found that his
studying methods would have to be al
tered to meet his new schedule-. Lec
tures of various kinds offered the student
a glimpse of his next few years of
college life.
Throughout this enjoyable week, the
Frosh became acquainted with his class
mates, met his professors, and became
familiar with places of historical inter
est and the whole campus in general.
Orientation Week was similar to a
door, which, when opened, led an indi
vidual on to a highly adventurous
journey.
The next week was Customs Week....
