CHAPTER III Jlauil Pel Week Like islands in a misty sea, they scan. Here is biology, there is his- tory; here is art, there is economics; here is philosophy, there is chemistry — islands, distinct in outline. And there are many more equally distinct in outline. But the pattern is vague if there is a pattern — or else the ele- vation is tuo great. Clouds and fogs and mists distort the light rays or blot them out at times. Then with one swoop of the mind, the pilot passes beneath the clouds. It takes but an instant of his time — and there is history and biology linked by a neck of land into a con- tinent as it were. And commerce lies nearer music than one would, have judged. With one ore dip beneath the mists, the scene is clear. The archi- pelago is one great and vast ocean patterned in beauty and in truth. A student is a pilot exploring the universe, coming upon a new world fro far above the clouds. His job is to chart for himself the zap that he is to carry with him for life. Ex- acting is the task. He must note the bay of friendship, the isle of pleasure, the sea of experience, and the straits of society. Before he leaves, he must plot the route carefully that he ay return when he will, with happiness as the ode of travel and not the destination. 19

A mi this is how it happened: The outside world, a world of unrest, made the student want to identify himself with a particular niche of it, a niche where he could bring his greatest efficiency to the fore, a niche where he could learn to serve mankind. Some found this niche in home economics. Wesleyan trains its girls for usefulness in fields of many sorts as one eye is kept alert on the ultimate goal ot the happiness of a home. Steaks and rolls and pies came forth from polished ranges. The girls were proud that they were learning to satisfy man ' s tastes. Per- haps each girl wondered how much her particular He would like her rolls or cake. Perhaps Miss Crone- meyer pictured youngsters of the next generation or two growing strong on the recipes and cooking hints she gave out to the girls this year. With the aid of a friend of youth like Miss Edna Jenkins, Wesleyan continued marching forward this year — forward to new attainments and greater training, the kind of which its leaders dream. Twelve senior girl s — a m h i t i o u s on es — learned how much work and fun it is to keep a home in order. They learned of hudgets, meal planning, dusting, and of all the cooperation, planning, and sacrificing that makes living in a house a success. Proud were they of that home for those six weeks — red brick, fresh white walls, polished floors, a new piano, and best of all, a cozy fireplace for winter nights. An experience into life, they had, these Wesleyan female pioneers of 1943, for — . I 1BI IRATI R B M. Hymcs, D. William . L. Flanagan, I Pronl I F ' trd, M. Hammer, M Wh E. Harmer, B. Marshall, M.
