THE WELLESLEYAN 1936 CLASS HISTORY This to remind the senior class Of the glorious days that came to pass While we were students of the institution. It starts with a Thanksgiving contribution. 1933- 34 Limousines and rattle-traps arranged in long array Were quickly filled with pupils, and, then started on the way To Needham, where with tooting, cheers and songs, and other noise We predicted football victory for eleven Wellesley boys. That year the gallant football squad shared with the hockey girls A delicious turkey supper and conversational pearls. Next, after dinner speakers, movies, games and, lots of fun We left to go to play night, where, of course, ours was best done. The vain attempts of the “Pot Boilers” writer To create a successful play, were brighter Before he invented his very strange characters Who later toward him seemed like malefactors. 1934- 35 The football boys of thirty four, en masse, were diplomatic, At a hockey game they yelled and cheered in manner most fanatic; The girls were pleased and flattered, overcome by sudden fame, And, sure enough, they all turned up at the next day’s football game. Our compliments we were glad to pay After “Light in the Pumpkin,” the Junior play, To the competent actors who on the stage Presented pseudo-mystery, romance, and rage. The basketball game of the girls’ varsity ’Gainst the boys’, was as funny as it could be; Rules were compiled and interpreted too By Herbert Snow, Esquire, gym coach to you. Up on the platform three Juniors were gratified When their election to the National Honor Society was ratified. Next year they were similarly lauded with others. The class enjoys claim to such sisters and brothers. 1935- 36 In the theatre of thirty-six we see The all star cast of a comedy, A mystery comedy to have it straight, Entitled, “The Seven Keys to Baldpate.” Just watch the graduates, summing one twenty two, Thirty seven to college when they are through, Thirty more to specialty school, in part Nursing, business, dramatic, and art. As you wander some day through the Hall of Fame Stop and examine the roll, name by name. You’ll be sure to find present there on the list Some friends from the class of thirty-six. Page Fifteen
