Real 'Dead Week'
To "greenhorns" at HPC "Dead
Week" may mean only another
foim of freshman initiation and
cause loud protests Although "Dead
Week" may be a new addition to
a freshman's vocabulary upper-
classmen know those two woids
have a worthwhile meaning behind
them.
During tho week of preparation
for oxams January 12-16 no chapel
exercises or club activities aro
scheduled leaving the calendar
clear for concentrated study.
Although various explanations of

the survivors after the strenuous
mental exercise.

out interruptions during the week
