Business Principles and Homemaking FROM the lower part of Abbot Hall comes the click-clack of typewriter keys and the mutterings of compound- interest seekers. From the canary yellow kitchen waft tantalizing odors as Miss Dodge put the homemakers through their paces every Thursday. Their Boston ex- cursions were foiled at every turn with the exception of our one fascinating venture to the silversmiths. Mary Elaine Dodge, A.B. Household Science B.H.S.

LOUNGING on the radiator, dancing in the rec room, airing the pros and cons of life, the world, and such, making conversation with our neighbors at mealtime, taking our walks for points and otherwise, sharing a history book, participating in a class project — all have inspired friendships. As large oak trees from little acorns grow, so friendships bud and blossom from these modest beginnings. And as the sturdy oak with- stands winds and rains, so do friendships endure the bite of hasty words and thoughtless deeds. Soon blue gowns, red roses, blurry eyes, tearful adieux, or final farewells, will close a year, a tense, chaotic year for the world, yet for us a quieter struggle filled with effort, achievement and, best of all, friendship.
