Freshmen Initiation was held
Oct. 10. Seniors, freshmen and
members o the faculty attend
ed. Judges Neil Gearin and
Archie 'frott presided over a
senior jury. The seniors were
divided into groups of three and
each group initiated six Iresn
' men. "Hail the Almighty Sen
ior" was the phrase heard from
several freshmen "serving time"
: while sitting on a ladder. This
was done by the persuasion of a
senior behind a prodding stick.
Each freshman was "tried" by
the jury and served his time by
fulfilling the wishes ol tne sen
iors. Court was dismissed and
the freshmen were revived by
refreshments.

Mere! M&wTashForce 57 Chevrolet Trucks 1
Performance-proved in a history-making test
on the ALCAN Highway to Alaska
Here are the trucks that conquered the ALCAN Highway one of the
world's most challenging roads! Six new '57 Chevrolet trucks,
heavily loaded with cargo, roared north from Dawson Creek, B. C,
through 1,520 miles of mountains and mire, rain and hail every
conceivable natural roadblock to Fairbanks, Alaska. Running
around the clock, they made this tortuous trip normally a
72-hour run in less than 45 hours.
Like a carelessly unwound ribbon, the
Alcan Highway twists and reels for 1,520
miles. It tumbles over towering mountains
of awesome beauty and wanders through
desolate Yukon forests.
It's the road where trucks grow old
before their time. The road where gravel
endlessly sledgehammers the life out of
trucks. Where a fog of superfine dust
chokes engines, and vicious ruts subject
chassis to months of wear in a few hun
dred miles.
This is the road that was chosen to give
the new '57 Chevrolet trucks a supreme
test of stamina and performance.The re
sults of that test made hauling history!
Six new Chevrolet trucks representing
light-, medium- and heavy-duty models
traveled the length of the Alcan highway
in less than 45 hours. But this was no test
of speed. It was a measure of the ability of
these new Chevrolet trucks to perform
under typical conditions on the truck-killing
Alcan run. The Chevrolet fleet made
. normal stops along the way, and main
tained safe and legal speeds. As a special
additional test during the run, two of the
. trucks went the entire distance without
once having their engines stopped!
It's all down in the AAA record book.
And more besides! Never before has a new
truck been so thoroughly proved. Come
in and see how well these new Alcan
champs measure up to your job.

New 283-cubic-inch Taskmaster V8 delivers 160 high-torque horsepower.
Standard in Series 5000, 7000 end 8000, optional in Series 6000 at extra

Revolutionary Wermaric Transmission exclusive with Chevrolet trucks!

an extra-cost option in Series 5000 and 6000 and all heavy-duty truck
models. Hydra-Malic is offered in 3000 end 4000 Series models at extra cost.
New 1957 work-styling gives Chevrolet trucks en even fresher, fleeter ap
pearance. There are three different end distinctive styling treatments.
t.C.F. models outdare the C.O.E. because they're lower, handsomer, easier
to get into and out of, end save time in routine engine maintenance. Yet
they offer all the traditional C.O.E. advantages.
