Only yesterday we came to college, almost as children-and today, we are istrange and peculiar soundingl young women, still flushed with the discovery of college things. We often wonder at our evolution. For we have discovered many things. We have found a past and its traditions. Yet, we are a vital part oi the present and an ever-changing environment. We like Be-bop and we like Beethoven. We learn Plato and James, Picasso and Rembrandt. We discover our responsibility in an atomic era. We discover other things, 'too-the Christmas parties, the proms, the songs, the thrills of u lootball game, the relaxation at 3:30 in the afternoon over coilce in the Cowie Bin. And we discover suddenly that we are plunged into a timeless, match- less, wonderful spirit of a college which is a pest, a present, a future. We learn to like. We learn to discover. We learn to learn. The Class ol 1951 hopes that its IRIS succeeds in giving to you Elmira-an always moving, ever-growing college. Times change--and this is our theme.

FACU LTY We don't notice it right away. So many changes have taken place, but we don't notice them all at once. Then, gradually we discover that all the unhelated names and ideas and phrases that we have manipulated in our classrooms have blended into a uniform whole. From the "whys" and the "whats" have emerged us and our ideas. And this "Us" is the purpose of the classroom. X TUDEN S u Q .f A XX aa Suddenly we are home, and Dad discovers with a start that the little girl whom he sent to college is making it difficult for him to hold up his ehd of the discussion on politics. And simultaneously, we realize how very much Dad has to say. Some of us know about the life cycle of a nine- banded armadillo, and others of us talk freely on the relative merits of Matisse and Van Gogh. But vvhether our specialties lie along amoeba, labor- management, or Grandma Moses lines, we learn to know a goodly number ol our professors in the varied atmospheres of the lecture room, Cowle Bin, and even in their own, friendly living rooms. Thus, our learning doesn't only stem from the reading of the textbookis blaclc and white page. It is a warm, integral part of living. ...- mm i , IIIIIHI 1?

Or maybe we spend our Tuesday nights pasting a newspaper to- gether, and Wednesdays, thrashing out the Russian situation over in the browsing room at I.R.C. We never really knew about Benjamin Britten before Glee Club, and we hadnit seen our work in print before we sent our poem to Sihyl. . A lot of change takes place in this extra- curricular workshop. But then, change is our theme, isn't it? STUDE "I do hereby accept the said Constitution and Charter of the Student Association and do pledge my honor as a student of Elmira College that I will accept the responsibilities of citizenship in my college community." Elmira gives us more than education from books. Through our Student Gov- ernment aml effective Honor System, we come to appreciate the privileges and duties of citizenship. Elmirafs faith in our integrity encourages us to become adults. I 5?L'i9Qr1-. ' V- if , - h ' .L ...-I. Q. ""'-.

On the lighter side of the Monday night meetings, Senate mem- bers won't forget A.

Both Cabinet and Member- ship have contributedto the broadened program initiated this year. Rabbi Haberman and Dr. E. Stanley Jones were only two of the excellent speakers on topics of religious and social interest to lead the monthly open meetings. A new develop- ment has been the Sunday evening vesper services which provide a short period for meditation and prayer. Community Service is now an S. F. func- tion under the leadership of Ruth Ann Patton. The list of activities sponsored becomes very longg but highlights of the year were Bazaar, suc- cessfully conducted by Joan Lowry and her assistantsg the W. S. S. F. drive in which the stu- dent body pledged over S350 for relief in Europe and Asiag and a program of religious emphasis, with "Scepticism among College Students" as the major theme. Many girls have had the oppor- tunity to attend Student Christian Movement and Denominational Conferences in New York State. S. F. has attempted to encourage a. deeper foundation for individual religious beliefs, and to co-ordinate the varying faiths in a harmonious community of interests and efforts. Certainly S. F. has succeeded this year in ber purpose to an admirable extent. hu xl Ll I J A J ar' i"l is N 0 n Heron HO I-s s The Soc. malor's workshop is the Neighborhood House.

The joy of being a member of this organization is the joy of singing. Our Glee Club headed by President Andy, made its debut this year at the Christmas Concert which featured Britteu's Ceremony of Carols, and which, under Gwynn's able direction, met with spectacular success. The Spring Concert with Bowdoin ended an- other year of song with great promise for the future. BU mN"" POINTS noi: x'.,1.xxx1x1fx.,.

The houselights were dimmed, and the footlights blazed. The curtains parted. Thespis was off to a line start with the Class of '50's presentation of "Lady of Lettersf' Starring were Katherine Cornell, in the person of Patty Northrup, and the comical Dr. Rutenber. Who will ever forget Patty's amusing attempts to mas- ter the guitar, or Dr. Rutenber's trying moments with wife, Adelaide? And Phyl Cass was a huge success in the character of Dr. Rutenber's mother- in-law. Thunderous applause as the play ended, as well as the many curtain calls, verified that Thespis and Koochie had done it again. Most of us will always remember June Play last year, "Skin of Our Teeth." Such hilarious enter- tainment is not often ours. We followed the antics of the Antrobuses, and their "general utility maid," Lily Sabina, through, fire, flood and pesti- lenceg and we, too, survived by "the skin of our teeth." This year, the newly 'organized Junior Thespis, under the direction of Miss Lowell, completed their first theatrical production, and met with the same success that is so typical of the entire Thespis group. 39 'win 'H ART CLUB This year's Art Club, headed by Ellen Wilhams, The art exhibit in Tompkins which displayed has led its members on a merry chase from ex- the Work of both faculty and students was of in- hibits to films on modern art and ceramics.

Yes, we were attempting to be artistic and modern all at once, and the sueceedin two issues surprised even the esteemed staff oig editors. A bold two-column layout embodied bizarre cap- tions, larger print and varied articles. ' The March issue captured a musical note, and in June we resented a dramatic theme.

This club was reorganized this year under the direction of Liz Pelton as manager of debate and Jane Meyjes as treasurer. To become a member, one was expected to attend a weekly debate class under the tutelage of Miss Quinlan. Plans were made to present a debate to I.R.C. and to debate in the spring with Cornell and possibly with Hobart.

A. began a campaign to pep up school spirit and increase their treasury by sponsoring a barn dance in the gym. This was followedby a bake sale and a very successful sale of Elmira College calendars. With the profits they were able to send delegates to a state athletic conference at Albany, to participate in play days and to buy the annual awards-the numerals, letters, the 1500 point awards and the white blazer for '50's all-round girl. 0- L F ""-'H O f 1 I Xi- 41 i' 7 Jiffy L AW" +.....- , A i 'U 5111 Hockey led off the parade of sports in Septem- ber. The seniors showed their supremacy in intra- murals and the varsity gave its all in games with Park School and Lockhaven. Next came volley- ball, basketball and baseball with badminton, tennis and archery tournaments interspersed. Now at the close of another successful year, A. A. is making more great plans for 1950-1951. Fe v" 45 .....g. . ,ii '. : I J , rg. , Q... V, .P Tk'??,a :A ' ' Hyii.: ' . "5 L sg sv ",J.- , M ' W , "9 - E l. ,--4. L: '5 .

That is, until May Day. The Big Day always finds the crowd at Watkins Glen chilled through as they wait for the outstanding sophomore to be chosen queen. '51 was triply blessed, for we had a normal Queen of the May, and a two-headed one. Mock May Day featured Queen Scheibel alighting from Mike's jalopy, with heads tucked under her arm. Surrounded by masquerading sophs, she then leapt into the puddle. The next day, a beaming Barb Higgins received the royal crown from '50's queen, Peg Simpson. The modern dancers paid homage to our own member of royalty, and May Day was over for another year. WEEKENDS x F fm-, K X1 N X S' .-N. G!

It embodies a principle upon which our success depends.

BJ H learned to appreciate that principle a long time ago. It is for this reason that we have consistently advocated the coordination of all factors of yearbook production. We are indeed glad to have been selected to produce this year's book. f' . 5' v BAKER, JONES, HAUSAUER, INC Producers of Fine College Annuals Buffalo, New York
