The pilots for the three years were Helen Lou Sick, Sarah Hopkins, and Alice Ohlson. The supervisors of the flight for the third lap of our journey are Madame Van Houte, Miss Eglcy, and Miss Eagleson. This ship was noted for its few passengers until this year when with a Herculean jump, eleven new travelers came aboard. Our pride when we were freshmen was to serve at the Junior Prom and to look forward to the time when we ourselves would be juniors. Be- hold, the time is here! In the second year of our trip the outstanding social event was the Fresh- man-Sophomore Hop. During the third year of our course many im- portant landmarks have been passed and duly cele- brated. There was the Turkey Trot, our stunt night, which we enjoyed before leaving for the Thanksgiving holidays. We arranged our Frolic for February 22, and in honor of the day the gym- nasium was decorated in red, white, and blue. One of the main features was the United States flag made of balloons. The Promenade was our most exciting event. For that evening the ship stopped at a tropical garden pervaded by an atmosphere of real charm. The traditional honor of a junior ' s be- ing chosen Maid of Honor to the May Queen was this year bestowed upon Mary Cowell. The passengers of this Clipper ship shine in the arts, journalism, athletics, and society. May our ship continue to meet fair weather, and may all its passengers remain together until we reach port in June, ' 37.

ike iSkteld were turned to the annual Junior Frolic which we gave for the Upper School, and to the Prom which the Juniors always give in honor of the Senior Class. The Frolic was an immense success from the point of view of the guests. The Prom motif was the star, and it was very appropriately carried out in the Great Hall. At Christmas time several of our number were in the annual Christmas play, and all of us joined Miss Wilson in her cottage for a Junior party. When May Day came, we staned the custom of the Junior class ' s parading around the dining room at breakfast singing It Ain ' t Going to Rain No More, and indeed a charm this custom has proven itself to be these last two May Days. Yes, we were up and stirring at the traditional hour of five o ' clock to decorate the Queen ' s throne. Betty Garrett was Maid of Honor, the sole junior attendant to the Queen. We must not forget the class breakfast at the Ta- coma Hotel, and what fun the Bishop was. That year athletic honors were won in tennis by Doro- thy LaGasa. The class teams were viaorious in volleyball and were second to the Seniors in basketball. We were guests at the Junior-Senior banquet at the Country Club and had a marvelous time, even during a few uncomfortable moments. This last fall we were joined by Gertrude Chess, Elizabeth Merrick, Yvonne Shepherd, and Maya Vandcrspek, who left us at mid year. We fell heirs to the Sorority this year. Our initiation was most impressive, although questionably sol- emn. From this initiation soon evolved Friday eve- ning gatherings and a Sorority dance with the foot- ball motif, which was given shortly before Thanks- giving. And then there ' s the spade — there are beautiful blue and white ribbons on it now; we found it in a piano exaaly a week after it was hidden. We attended the Junior Frolic and were guests at the Prom, two verv pleasant evenings with the Juniors as hostesses. Early in the fall, we offered a treasure hunt as our class stunt. Soon came the Christmas play, with our class again well represented both in the cast and in the dancing. Several of our girls have been outstanding in their dancing all their years here at the Seminary. Five are members of the Dance Club. At Christmas time again this year, we were invited to a party in Miss Wilson ' s cottage, after which we went through the halls at midnight singing carols. Our May Day was a grand success. Burdette Craig, our very fair Queen, ruled over us graciously and charmingly. The rest of the class, in dainty net dresses and large picture hats, formed her court At the Athletic Association Banquet, Elaine Tubbs, president of the Association, presided. Along came the Junior-Senior Banquet at which we were hostesses to the Juniors, and the formal and in- formal Sorority initiation. We were then engulfed in final examinations. The star, however, rose above the storm to shine brightly on the Senior play — Twelfth Night. Then came Baccalaureate Sunday with its address to the Seniors. Class Day soon followed with the class prophecy, history, and farewell. On this day we planted our class tree, a California redwood. That night we made our last will and testament and later burned our star on the Athletic Field while we sang our songs and were in turn answered by the others, grouped on the hill above us. After this ceremony we sere- naded the Juniors outside their windows. Com- mencement brought the star of 1936 to its zenith, and indeed its officers, Jane Bourne, Margaret Kelly, and Burdette Craig, led the class of twenty- six members to fulfill its motto — Stella non Sulcus ' Be the Comet not the Tail.

The class of 1938 came gliding into their Sophomore year twenty-three strong, Manha Tur- ner being president, Frances Sanborn, vice-presi- dent, Joan Burmeister, secretary-treasurer. The fall term was filled with athletics, the Sophomores winning the hockey, TIME MARCHES ON! After the Christnus holidays came the party given by the Sophomores, a carnival offering all the attractions one could wish. Then there was the Frolic on February twenty-second, which we thoroughly enjoyed, being no longer just little Freshmen. TIME MARCHES ON! After Easter vacation events fairly rumbled over each other. The Sophomores supervised, their first dance, the Hop. This, much to the joy of the Sophomores, was declared a great success. Then followed Dad s Day, when we sang to our dads a song which we have been told was unusually clever. While Juniors and Seniors were enjoying their Prom, the Sophomores had their traditional celebration — an evening at the movies followed by eats and more eats! TIME MARCHES ON! Field Day and May Day were ended with the thrill of the whole year, the Athletic Banquet. To our satisfaaion the prizes awarded showed that the Sophomores were much in evidence. As Juniors the class of 1938 looks forward to higher viaories. TIME MARCHES ON!
