The Freshman Class Since the accelerated curriculum program began, many classes have been floundering in a sea of confusion. ‘The freshman class of Rhode Island School of Design is no exception, for new schedules, rules, and adjustments have served not only to disturb the well-planned courses, but also to increase that special bewildered feeling peculiar to any freshman. However, the successful collabo- ration of time and youth soon remedies any perplexing situation and regularity reigns again. In spite of disordered schedules, an essential election was held in which Emma Thurber of Washington, District of Columbia, was chosen for President; Barbara Barry, of West Warwick, was elected Vice-President; Mary Fletcher, of Willimantic, Connecticut, obtained the position of Secretary; and Barbara Gould- ing, of Providence, was elected ‘Treasurer. Because the temporary inconvenience of war has limited all social activities, the freshman class modestly made its debut at a tea conducted for the freshmen by the upperclassmen and the members of the faculty in the school library on October 29, 1943. Although very little definite action has as yet been made, many sensible plans have been proposed to organize a club for the lassies who commute daily and have no other occasion for association except in the classrooms. Having three representatives on the Student Council as well as many active members of the Dramatic Club, the freshman class is advancing rapidly toward a prosperous future in both business and society.

However, we did get a chance to do our bit in making the “Sno Spree” dance a success—about the only social activity we had. Shortly after that we surrendered our manpower to the war effort and R. I. S. D. began to take on the appearance of a girls’ school. Came the end of our freshman year—the end of chipping plaster, modelling clay, abstract designs and the freshman foundation course in general. After three weeks of bliss at home, at the shore, or some place relaxing, many of us did an about-face to start our sophomore year on June 2Ist. We were among the first students to attend the new summer course in the accelerated schedule.
