a Locker Alley IX my researches of alleys faiiious in history. Locker Alley stands out to me as the one least known except to those of the intellisentsia. Such being tne case. I take upon myself the task of alleviating- the ignorance of the world. As really great historians begin by giving general geographical features of the land wherein the events of human activity occur, I shall keep you in good com- pany. Locker Alley is situated in Brooklyn ' s only Catholic College for Women. Its exact locality in the institution is within shouting distance of the Dean ' s office with or without the intervening door. Now that 1 have given vou its chartlike description, I shall proceed with its storv. Archaeologists report that Locker Alley was once used by a i)reliistoric class of man, scientifically known as butlers. Here, I am given to understand, they used to gather the bones for the big chief to gnaw on. Many monumental re- mains and utensils are still visible to substantiate this assertion. In the course of the centuries when the College took over this ancient dwelling, the Faculty decided that this was an ideal spot to ht with lockers. This was done, and then tin soldiers not only stood against the wall of the alley, but also lined the recep- tion room which guarded the entrance. The room was well equipped with a telephone to receive calls, if possible, telephone books for general information and several useful closets. On the seventh day they rested and blessed their work by giving Locker Alley to each new Freshman Class, because of its pro.ximity to the office of unfailing symi)athy and aid. The situation continued in thi manner until the Class of 1928 decided to do big things and show a college how it should be run. Records show that sevent -five damsels a]Ji)lied td the otlice for ke ' s. Their ba hful demeanor was misinter])reted and those with the loudest voices were given the lockers nearest the office. In the I- reshman diary of one of us, is found, the following: Having come together from the Seven Seas, we spent the first hour in finding our bearings. Thenceforth, following good psychological prin- ciples, we launched with vigor ' into the general scheme of things, any a de- lightful hour was s|)ent sitting on the shelves discussing the latest dance, or basketball game, the merits or demerits of our profs., the handing in of home- work, so and so ' aufl her crowd, until we waxed so eloquent that the building labored with laughter. At this ])oint we were many times asked to be (|uiet l)e- cause classes were in session. .As soon as this blanket was put on us, some optim- istic student would try to telei)hone. In the space of time it took the operator to get the number, the pandemonium was loose again so that the message re- ceived was T ' U meet you at Forty-second Street ' instead of T won ' t be able to make it. Many a successful ])arty. class or theater, and rither social events for which our class has been famous were planned there. But it was not only a place of joy and good fun. Tear-stained faces were conim in, as well as the general airing of bad treatment received by the class in general. June came flnalh ' and the Class of 1928 said good-bye lo Locker .Mley. The summer flew c|uickly, ami ii]i(]n tlu-ir reluiii tin- snphoinorcs wrvv greatly -urprised to find the tin soldiers gone from the alley and ilu- reception room. The faculty had evidently sought to renew the ho])e of the college b ' removing the disjiaraging influence. It was no longer Locker . lley, but the name still stayed with it. The .Altar Society thought that by using it for the arranging and chang- ing of flowers and the lighting of the charcoal, the evil spirits that infested it might be driven to other pastimes. I ' Vjr two years it was so purged, although f)ccasii nally a destructive genius was seen there breaking u]i candles or playing with the censer. However, the jjlace did daily grow in irtne ,-nid b - ilie l.iws 2]
