Sarah SJ'ygley, Secretary; Dick Richardson, President.
THE FRESHMEN ...
IT COULD 'have been due to an exceptional crop of new
students, or perhaps to a new wave of enthusiasm that permeated
campus activities this year, but whatever the cause,
the Freshman Class proved one of the most progressive and
promising classes to enter Harding of recent years. No
sooner had the flurry of registration week subsided than a
new rush was on, this time to elect Freshman class officers.
Banners appeared over night proclaiming "Hayes for President"
and "What We Need is Rain and Richardson!" Evidently
this timely appeal proved good psychology because,
as predicted, this new class found capable leadership in Dick
Richardson, and he in turn found his way to the fish pond
with the aid of cheerful supporters.
Their Committee of Recommendations and Suggestions
to the Student Council made thirty suggestions during the
year and received recognition in Chapel, the Bison, and from
the Student Council. Flowers and get-well cards cheered
a large number of classmates, and new freshmen received
letters of welcome at the second semester and were honored
by a reception party in· the Emerald Room. Big events included
a Hobo Party and spring outing for the class and as
a reminder of their interest in Harding, they contributed
a gift everyone could enjoy.
