THE CLASS Second Inning — — — — — — The Team of 1939 is warming up. The first event of the year for us was the election of class officers which installed Maryhelen Grande as cap- tain of the Team of 1939 and Virginia Holmes as the Team’s financial manager. In our number we see a few old faces, more new ones. Our old- est member is Suzanne Ingram who made her appearance at the Seminary eight years ago, and there is Mary Turrill who is an old-timer, also. ' □F 1S3S The second semester brought six new members to the Sophomore fold. We were proud to have Helen King carry off diving honors this spring. Instead of giving the Hop, we decided to break tradition this year and enjoy a day at the Moun- tain. Both skiers and wou ld-be skiers had a fine time and we all returned with evidence of the trip very apparent upon our sunburned faces. So much for the second inning! Two more to go.

The Junior Class Express came roaring into the station this year with twelve additional passengers, making the total an even thirty. Included were Anne Murray, engineer; Patricia Fraser, assistant engineer, and Lois Park- er, ticket agent. Our brakemen were the Misses Crane, Leiter, and Egley. The first term passed rapidly with the Juniors enthusiastically taking part in the various au- tumnal sports. Scarcely had we rounded the bend toward the second semester when we were host- esses to the rest of the school at the Junior Frolic. We gave a St. Valentine’s party this year, and used red and white hearts as decoratipns to enliven the gymnasium. After several trips to the Mountain, which no adjectives can adequately describe, the Juniors proved to have many adept skiers in their ranks. Suddenly before we realized it the Promenade, the highest hill of the year, loomed ahead of us. Gathering all its power, our engine started up the grade saying, ' T think I can, I think I can.” After we had transformed the Great Hall into a Dutch garden, and after the Prom had been pronounced a great success, our train, giving a triumphant toot,” slid down the hill saying, T knew I could, I knew I could.” The Junior Express has carried us to many exciting places. Its warning toot has been sound- ed. Next stop. Senior Land!

TTIHIIE CLASS OF 1S40 Standing: Vera Fraser Marjorie Evans Anne Chapman Winifred Lucey Lila Sullivan Seated: Mary Moore Elaine Shapiro Blue! White! Our class colors and long may they flourish. Though only beginning our career, we have many interests. Jane praises New York with its skyscrapers, while Marjorie tells amazing tales of movieland. Lila and Ve like the concertina, swimming, skiing, tennis. By the way, Ve is our ten- nis ace. Soon after the close of school Winnie is sailing for Australia to enjoy a holiday far away from familiar scenes. Mary declares there is no place like Alaska. Elaine is the newest member of our class. One sad thing has happened to us — the loss of Nancy who had to desert us for Panama. Nancy promises to be back with us after two years, and we surely hope so. This year some of our members had the honor to be in the Christmas play. We all attended the Frolic and had a marvelous time. The trips to the Mountain will long be remembered, too. We may not have many great deeds to our credit as yet, but wtch us! Time will tell.
