Well, here we are at the flagpole, reminisc- ing. We are now alumnae and we enjoy recalling our past. What good times we have had sitting here, talking, composing songs in honor of each forthcoming pleasure. Let us review the years. Our thoughts drift back to the care-free hours of childhood. This class of ours, strong now, was not originally so. Only two of our number, Phyllis Anne Dickman and Elizabeth Ann Hew- itt, took their first toddling steps along the road of knowledge at the Seminary. Some of us were here for a season, then left. Finally, at the end of our childhood we stood on the verge of a new life, that of Freshmen. Remenjber our Freshman class of nine girls? It was led by Helen Lou Sick. Two members. Sue Fisher and Elizabeth Goode, joined our class when freshmen, and have been with us for four succeeding years. The memorable events of that year were serving at the Junior Prom, attending the Sophomore- Freshman Hop, and winning first prize at the Doll Bazaar. In our Sophomore year we were guided by Sallie Hopkins. Though still small in numbers, our class turned out for sports, and we were proud to beat the seniors in volleyball. Do you remember the Sophomore-Freshman Hop? The gymnasium was decorated with sporting goods of every description. Fortune favored us in our Junior year, and eleven new friends joined our ranks. During this year Alice Ohlson was our president. Many memorable things took place. First was the Frolic when we used red, white, and blue decorations, as it fell on Washington’s Birthday. The crown- ing achievement of our artistic endeavors was a large American flag made of balloons on the stage curtain. Our class stunt, the Turkey Trot, provided plenty of entertainment and won us fame. At the Doll Bazaar again we won first prize. One evening shortly before the Christmas holi- days we enjoyed a party given us by Miss Wil- son in her cottage. We had quantities of fun. especially in our efforts to decorate the big Christmas tree — a task which is a Junior privi- lege. Will you ever forget the Prom? That tropical garden with the moon glowing over the palms and the marvelous music! We were over- joyed to have Mary Cowell elected Maid of Honor for May Day. Just to be sure of favor- able weather we marched around the school in the morning singing, ' Tt ain’t gon’ a rain no more.” Then there was the Junior-Senior banquet which we attended with trembling hearts, won- dering what the initiation would bring. In our Senior year we welcomed more new members. Lorna Studebaker has been our guide this year. Our first party was the Sorority Dance Remember the decorations? Gold stars on a black background. As usual the Carol Service was love- ly. All our hearts were saddened, however, when we realized that it was the last one in which we should take part. As is the custom, the seniors were entertained by Miss Wilson in her cottage after the service. At midnight we sang carols as we walked through the darkened corridors. We were greatly indebted to the Juniors for giving a wonderful Prom in our honor. It was beautifully staged and greatly enjoyed. Another satisfying recolleaion is the outcome of the Junior-Senior basketball game. We were proud to win because it was a hard fight. May was a month of exciting events. Foremost, of course, was May Day. The program exceeded our wild- est dreams. Our lovely Queen, Betty June Howe, presided with true queenly grace and dignity. On the evening of May Day came the Athletic Asso- ciation banquet, a fitting climax to a perfea day. We entertained the Juniors with a day of sports at the Country Club, followed by the Junior- Senior banquet. After dinner, we returned to the school and initiated the poor trembling Juniors into the Senior Sorority. We are glad to say that the Senior Play was a huge success. It was the ‘ ' Romancers” by Rost- and. The leading parts were taken by Kathryn Paulson, Frances Crawford, Barbara Bathrick, Maya Vanderspek, and Frances Force, and Alice Ohlson. Baccalaureate fulfilled all our expeaa- tions. In the dim peace of the Chapel we appreci- ated more strongly than ever before the desire for knowledge, the ambition, the happiness, and the friendships which the Seminary had given us. And Class Day! Our class prophecies, and plant- ing our tree, then the rush to the Senior stairs. Last year Elizabeth Goode gained the top first. Of course the Bonfire that night was loads of fun. We burned all the cherished mementos” of our school years. Then Commencement, the long awaited day. We were glad when it came, but nevertheless in our hearts we knew it meant the ending of one important and happy phase of our lives, a phase to which we can never return except in our reminiscing. A
