THE CLASS OF 1940 THE LOG OF THF SS 40 The good ship, 40, began its course last September with three new members of the crew, Admiral Jane Duell, Rear Admiral Margaret Keys, and Private Patricia Bouvee. Our craft first cast anchor at the Doll Bazaar. Here the crew went ashore, and all hands set to work to build a doll circus, a project which proved to be highly successful. Our ship cruised into the Christmas play in which Rear Admiral Keys trans- formed herself into an angel. Soon afte rwards Jane Duell was transferred, and Admiral Lila Sullivan took her place. At Second Semester a new member was added to the crew, Patricia Osborne. On April thirtieth the crew took a night off, saw a movie, and enjoyed a feast in the girls ' parlor. Further entertainment was provided that evening in the balcony of the Great Hall, from which look-out there was an excellent view of Seniors and Juniors dancing at the Prom. On a May night the good ship, 40, put into port, and its crew made merry at a barn dance with friends who arrived in School Bus A. W. S. 1941.

THE CLASS OF 1939 This is your Junior SHIELD reporter bringing you the latest news about the Class of ' 39. Flash! — Returns from the fall election of offi- cers showed that Beverley Old was the class choice for president. In the spring balloting for the Maid of Honor, Sheilah Sullivan was the lucky winner selected to attend the Queen of the May. The coveted honor of Key Girl fell to Jean Bullen. Flash! — In the sports column head liners in basketball were Valerie Walkinshaw and Lorraine Savin (both known also for their accomplishments in artistic pursuits). Famed as ski yumper was Flinor Upper. Flash! — On the society page, first place was given to two important events of the year carried out under Junior direction. Novel, indeed, was the ski lodge, scene of the Frolic — and all due praise was given to Lulu, champion skier, who remained poised, throughout the evening, for her daring leap. As a setting for the Prom, the Great Hall became a tulip-filled garden, and here the Juniors entertained their Senior guests. Well — we have written 30 for our junior year, but next year we hope to flash back as Seniors.

THE CLASS OF 1941 SCHOOL BUS A W S 1911 The driver of our bus is Catherine Cowell, the assistant is Mary Griggs, and the ticket collector is Barbara Mears. The first passengers were Mary Elizabeth Abeel and Mary Ann Ellison, who climbed on the bus at First Street. At the corner of Fourth Street, Ann was picked up. Weedee and Nancy boarded the bus on our way up the hill, at Sixth and Seventh Streets. Muriel, Betty- Jo Coleman, Catherine Snyder, Barbara Mears, and Barbara Hibbard were just in time to travel with us on the first lap along the Hieh Road. In the front seat we see Nancy pondering over her lines for the spring play. Beside her is our poet, Louise. Behind them sits Ann, gazing at her chevron for First team hockey, while Mary thinks longingly of the Mountain. Across from them Betty Jo and the two Barbaras are recalling the fun they had at the Hallowe ' en party, repre- senting the Marx Brothers. Everyone is anticipating the stop the bus will soon make at a large barn beside the road. Here, when the crew of the SS 40 has arrived, we shall all dance together at the annual Freshman- Sophomore Hop.
