Excerpt from The 1951 Ravelings Highlighting the turmoil of freshman week is the walk-out and Mixer. The torch-lighted snake dance down East Broadway tied up traffic and created quite a scene in downtown Monmouth while many acquaintances were made by the all too eager upperclassmen with the wide-eyed freshman beauties. Once again, the tennis courts were converted into a Cinderella Ball - the bonfire, Chinese lanterns, and that good old harvest moon.
