Ice Cream With Prez Hess
President Gregory Hess and his wife Laura welcomes 245 freshmen to Elston Homestead.
President Hess took the time to shake each freshman's hand upon arrival.
... and kept shaking ...
That hand shake line was a long one.
Mrs. Hess joined in the welcoming chores.
... and then it was time for ice cream.
Jake Haste, Coatesville, IN., seems to be enjoying the treat.
Adam Burnter, Brownsburg, adds some toppings.
The ice cream line grew as long as the welcome line.
Herschel Springer, Atlanta, Ga., was sitting with some buddies ...
Some guys made themselves at home on the lawn....
... while others enjoyed there ice cream standing.
Oh! There's Wally! Time for photos!
Big grins for Wally!
And there was time for more chatting with the first-year students.
Every one wants a photo with Wally! Even Mrs. Hess!
