This year the Class of 1942 presents l y g j he eleventh edition of The Shield with the hope that this dual pur- pose has been properly and interestingly fulfilled. The staff of The Shield of 1Q42 wishes to express its appreciation to the many people who have come to its rescue: to Miss Fitch, whose untiring help has been an inspiration: to Mrs. Hiatt. who has guided our literary efforts; to the entire senior class, which has been faithful, in season and out. in its work to make our yearbook a success: to Virna Haffer and Mr. Eyerman. whose lovely pictures make our annual more complete: and to the North f acific BcidIn Note Company, for their care and interest in the printing of this book. This year we have dedicated The Shield to the memory of Jane Tilcomb and we want to express to Jane ' s mother our loving appreciation of all she has done for the school. We hope that the feeling of love, loyalty, and respect which Jane had for the Seminary will live and grow in the hearts and minds of those who will follow us. and in whose hands we leave the responsibility of The Shield in the years to come. In this spirit we offer you The Shield of 1942! Frances McGinnis, Ediior-in -Chief.

Winifred Saxton, and Frances McGinnis were enrolled in the First Class at the Seminary. A. D. 1937 After seven years of coming and going the class finally settled down and was augmented by the addition to its ranks of Bonnie Jean Chitty. Hazel Schaeffer, Marie Eckstrom, Georgiana Wieb enson. Jane Snider, and Dorothy Richards. A. D. 1938 Showing its originality, the class presented a Chinese play Lady Precious Stream, and organized the Eighth Class football team. A. D. 1939 The class, known by our red ties and proud of becoming a part of the Upper School, was led through its freshman year by Jane Bronson as president. Anita Derby, back from a year abroad, joined us as an effi- cient secretary-treasurer and held this position for three years, breaking all third-term traditions. The Freshman-Sophomore Hop was our first grown-up dance. A. D. 1940— W inifred Saxton wielded the gavel over tfie wise Sophomores during this year. Again, the most important event was the Freshman-Sopho- more Hop in which we further demonstrated our originality by giving a formal dance with nautical decorations, including a gangplank, and by inviting the entire Upper School. Elizabeth Leisk joined us this year and became a greatly loved member of the class. A. D. 1941 — The junior year was an outstanding one for the Class of 1942. We felt the distinction of being upperclassmen and we greeted five new members: Joan Campbell. Catherine Gilbert. Fifi Hill, Harriette Giesy, and Mar ' Jeanne Norris. The school was properly startled and pleas- antly surprised when the Jolly Juniors appeared in fireman-red class sweaters, breaking another tradition! Georgiana Wiebenson, an effi- cient president, led the class in its other successful undertakings: namely, the gift booth for the Senior Carnival, the Jingle Bell dance, the Junior Prom, and the never-to-be-forgotten take-off on the senior play. As You Like It. A perfect closing event of a perfect year occurred when Bonnie Jean Chitty was chosen Key Girl at the Athletic Ban- quet. The class was so proud of her! 1941 s May Day was held in the gymnasium because of the inclemency of the weather and Jane Bronson was our Maid-of-Honor to Betty Ann Love, the Queen. A.D. 1942-Our last and most glorious year— the senior year! We greeted Mary- beth Whitehouse and Betty Hopkins from Spokane. Linette Parsons from Alaska, and Helen White from St. Louis. Missouri. Finding the spade among the pipes in the swimming pool roora;was our first exciting achievement of the year. The di scoverv of the senior rings in the center of a huge cobweb of white string made the class realize that, at last, they were truly seniors. We elected Jane Bronson, president. Winifred Saxton. vice-president, and Marie Eckstrom, secretary-treasurer. T he Class of 1942 presented a most successful Senior Carnival under the chairmanship of Anita Derby. Thirteen of us. with Miss Fitch, Mrs. Johnsen, and Miss Greason. went skiing at a beautiful houseparty at Paradise in February. We went to the Junior Prom together and had the most beautiful May Day in the history of the Seminary. Now we are ready to graduate— to have our crosses and our diplomas! It doesn ' t seem possible that the Seminary will ever be able to get along without us. Many of us have been in the school since we were very young ' (with apologies to A. A. Milne) and we have grown up inside its ivy- clad walls. If the entire truth were really known, we don t know how we will ever get along without the Seminary! Frances McGinnis and Jane Bronson.

Jane Snider, Class XII. H7i THROUGH THE RUBBER BALL B fflNCE upon a time there was a court ruled over by Fair Queen Hazel l fcJt with her sixteen royal maidens and with a clown, who was known to Ic. Sff a? court as Joan the Jester. One day the Queen, in want of enter- tainment. commanded Jester Joan to perform. Jester Joan, ' she said, you ' re well known as a fortune teller. 1 ell us what lies ahead for us all. lies though they may be. Gaze into your rubber ball. That ball, more precious than rarest crystal, should foretell the future clearly. Of course, your Highness. answered Jester Joan, Til not say that everything will come true, but after three magical bounces of my ball I should be able to tell you all. But I ' m having a little difficulty, she added, my ball hasn ' t the same bouncing properties it used to have before Pearl Harbor, consequently the pic- tures don ' t seem quite clear . . . maybe my ball needs a retread! There isn ' t time for you to take that ball to the Royal Tire Rationing Board. Jester Joan. answered the Queen, you really must get along with what you ve got and not bounce it over forty times an hour. You ' ve been bouncing that ball loo fast and that ' s sabotage! she added, grimly. Yes. your Highness. said Joan the Jester. 1 11 be careful and bounce the ball very gently and see what happens. So Jester Joan did as she was told and this is what she saw in nineteen-fifty : Betty Hopkins as the Brenda Frazier of Spokane; Mary Jeanne Norris as the home economics instructor at West Point; Catherine Gilbert as the winner of the pie eating contest at the county fair: and Linette Parsons trying to improve the llinstein theory through serious study. Frances McGinnis was keeping up the morale of Fort Lewis lieutenants: Wini- fred Saxton was promoting a Please Explain All Jokes Week ; and Anita Derby was replacing Fanny Brice on the Baby Snooks Program. Oh. ho! ' exclaimed Joan, giving the ball another very gentle bounce, here is Marie Eckstrom as the belle of Billy Rose ' s Aquacade of nineteen-fifty. and Harriette Giesy as football coach at Miss Spinster ' s Academy. Jane Snider ap- pears to be excavating the mine which Clementine ' s father couldn t find: Bonnie Jean Chitty is writing mystery stories for kindergarten children: Georgiana Wie- benson is challenging Carmen Miranda to a rhumba contest; Helen White is teaching army tactics at Annapolis; and Dorothy Richards is editing a home- making column in Esquire. Jester Joan stopped, looked puzzled, but after fondly caressing her rubber ball, she went on. Oh. but what ' s this? Hmmm . . . Here I see Jane Bronson as the first person ever to ski down from Alta Vista while playing a harp, and Marybeth Whitehouse as a demonstrator for Golden Glamour Shampoo. And what have we here? What, but our fair Queen Hazpl working on the Blind Date Committee of tTie national U. S. O. You ' re all busy little bees, aren ' t you? Joan concluded with a twinkling smile. But we can ' t leave you out. Jester Joan. the Queen replied. She turned to her court and looking them over she saw. to her dismay, that one of her maidens was actually chewing gum! Linette. she cried, p i in the royal waste paper basket, and help us look into Jester Joan s future. [181 Lint 111 luriud luwufil [ iv (jueen, did as she was told, and tlien her eyes gleamed with anticipation. Just give me that ball! she said. Now. when I was up in the Yukon they used to call me Old See-all Lannie. There you are. Plai n as can be . . . There s Jester Joan Campbell as chief bronco-buster at the Pendleton Fioundup. For many long years war waged in the world. Jester Joan had nothing to jest about, for there were no more rubber balls to foretell the future, which was opaque enough at the l est! Although laughter almost died in the world, around the cor- ners of the ( ueen s mouth there lurked a tiny smile. Her maidens, engrossed in First Aid, looked at each other over traction splints and bandages with knowing eyes, for they knew that the prophecy of the rubber ball would come true and that the Court of Nirn frcn Hundred and Fortv Txno would live long and happily ever after.

Our fun began IQf BUM with the beginning of school when we welcomed Margot Martin and IB Sfe gR Caroline Henton from Spokane, Barbara Hart. Honey Holland, and Maryann Dykman from Portland, Betty Ribelin from Chehalis, Eleanor Pitchford from Aberdeen. Dorothy Purcell from Oakland. California, and Suzanne Miley from Everett. On Hallowe ' en our skit. The Ballad of Mary Jane, with Bunny and Gussie as our stars and the entire class as the supporting cast, won the cup for the best performance of the evening. The audience, exhausted by the senior skit, rallied sufficiently to become re-exhausted by the laughter which Mary Jane. Inc. pro- voked. Our Food Booth at the Christmas Carnival was tops, and if pressed, we might admit that the Junior Christmas Dance was the best dance we ' ve ever gone to. One afternoon in the middle of January, the Class of 1943 burst upon a startled Study Hall like a premature Spring, and every Thursday since then no one could possibly miss us in our bright kelly green sweaters with the white emblems. Our favorite saying each week has been. Don ' t forget the Junior Sale on Friday afternoons: ice cream and glazed doughnuts! Not a girl forgot unless she was at the diet table -and even then It is always an honor for a Junior to be appointed Crucifer and Flag Bearer at mid-years. Honey Holland became Crucifer with Honey Johnson as her alter nate. and Bunny Lenham was appointed Flag Bearer. The evening crucifers were Betty Ribelin and Ann Sprowl. Fun, food, and the floor— the floor, food, and fun! Just three little words arc all that are necessary to tell you what you need to know about the Junior House- party at the Metzger ' s in April. Our hostesses were Catherine. Honey Johnson, and Avonne. The highlight of our year was the Junior Prom which was held in the Great Hall on April the twenty-fifth with every girl looking her best and with her favorite beau. Nothing is more beautiful or more thrilling than our dance to the Seniors and. incidentally, for ourselves. This year s Prom closed a year full of fun, friend- ship, and happiness for us all. Our best wishes go with the class of 1942 in whose footsteps our own will fall so very soon. Elka Robbins and Ann Sprowl. Class XL [251 IHI: SOPHOMOKi: C IJ SS Front row, left to right: Jane Duncan.

THE STUDENT COUNCIL S| 1hORE this year than ever before is understood ihe importance of co- Hifl N tfG operation and absolute obedience in ordinary times as well as in times rl I W li stress. With war to the west of them and war to the east of them. Illl Sw ill y® ' ? Americans should realize the responsibilities and duties which they must assume in order that the freedoms of Democracy may triumph, ultimately, over the slavery of Dictatorship. A well-organized school realizes this fact and Ix ' gins to train its students to govern themselves, not only to achieve group af tion but also to gain In tl)at greatest of all government — per sonal self-control. For the past several years the Seminar) lia had such a form of governnitnt. A Student Council composed of representatives freely elected, annually, by the student body and fatuity has worked in close cooperation with Miss Fitch and Mrs. f owell. Through meetings held each month the Council is able to express the constructive suggestions of the student body in order that the students as well as the faculty may strive to interpret its ideals to those who come here to live and learn. This form of government provides for an efficient honor system in which each girl is responsible for her own actions which, in turn, should be for the best interests of her companions and her school. Only in extreme cases do the junior and senior members of the Student Council act as a court, the Honor Board. In this year of nineteen hundred and forty-two. all school and college students should be especially thankful for the opportunities and privileges which the free- dom-loving American way of life offers to each of them. Thus, we dedicate our- sel ves to the perpetuation of those things which we hold to be sacred, dear, and worth preserving and for which we will give our lives, if necessary, in order that our children may live freely and without fear.

SEMINARY AIHIJTIC COUNCIL HE purpose of the Seminary Athletic Council is to advance the spirit of fair play in the school. S. A. C, whose members are carefully chosen from among the student body, is an active part of the Athletic Association. S. A. C. members are in charge of the younger children during tfie noon hour and in the afternoon, and in the rare absences of Mrs. Johnsen. they supervise the afternoon sports of the Upper School. The president of S. A. C. attends the Student Council meetings at which she presents questions previously discussed in S. A. C. meetings. Problems pertain- ing to athletic activities in the school are put before her by the Council, and she, in turn, brings them before the Athletic Council. The blue and gold beanies and the triangular gold pins worn by members of the S. A. C. are symbols of ability, responsibility, and honesty. Although the Seminary Athletic Council has been active only two years, it is playing an increas- ingly important part in the life of the school. The members realize their respon- sibility to the school and to the student body, and they carry out their duties with this thought in mind. Anita Df rry.

THE MASQUE PLAYERS HE MASQUE PLAYERS have tried to make this year a particularly successful one in the history of the organization. At the beginning of the year, to acquaint the new girls with our chib and its work, we gave Thornton Wilder s one-act play. The Happy journey to Trenton and Camden. Later on in the year we took on Margot Martin. Caroline Henton. and Avonne Nelson; and still later. Irene Purkey. Our part in the Christmas program this year was a play based upon the Rus- sian legend of Babouscha. the old woman who travels from land to land each Christmastide seeking the Christ Child. The cast included Anita Derby. Mar- garet Jean l ngabeer. Mary Jeanne Norris. Flka Robbins. Jane Snider, and Georgiana Wiebenson. In March we presented our annual program of one-act plays in the Great Hall. Caroline Henton. Margot Martin, and Avonne Nelson gave The Letters by Collin Clement, and Miss Sydney Carton by Florence Ryerson was given by A nita Derby. Margaret Jean Langabeer, Frances McGinnis. Mary Jeanne Norris. Elka Robbins. and Georgiana Wiebenson. Later we listened to Lynn Fontanne ' s re- cording of The White Cliffs of Dover, which was given to us by Doris ( arring- ton. ' 41. a former member of the Masque Players. Our annual Masque Banquet in May marked the close of another memorable year, made doubly so by the generous help and constant guidance of our director. Mrs. Sandall. and the lively interest and cooperation of every Masque Player. Georgiana Wiebenson, Class XIL (321 IN THE FIELD OF SPUR I S jHIS has been a very active year for the two teams under the leadership of Hazel Schaeffer, captain of the Blue Team, and Catherine Gilbert, captain of the Golds. Hockey turn-outs in October opened the season and there was keen rivalry between the two teams. After several hard-fought games the Golds emerged victorious. November was a month full of sports and during December many of the girls enjoyed skating parties at the Lakewood Ice Arena. After Christmas Vacation, basketball was the game of the hour, and we spent long afternoons in the gym practicing for our teams. The Gold Team had to put up a brisk fight to win over the Blues, who. to say the least, were more than skilled in the art of basketry. As usual. Mt. Rainier was the scene of many hilarious good times during the several ski trips this year. The three-day joint occupation of Paradise by the Semi- nary. Bush, and stu-r-d-y Lakeside proved to be the hit of the year. On February twenty-eighth, thirteen diet-renouncing Seniors, accompanied by Miss Fitch, Miss Greason. and Mrs. Johnsen. went up the Mountain for a gorgeous over-night stay at the Inn. This year marked the initiation of a new day in our school calendar Catlin Play Day. The basketball game in the morning was a thriller and ended in a hard-won victory for the girls from Portland who accepted the Seminary ' s chal- lenge to a five-minute overtime to settle the tie at the end of the game, and in doing so. won that extra basket which gave them the top score. The Seminary girls drowned their sorrows in doughnuts and helped the Catlin girls celebrate by an outdoor luncheon at the Grill, served by S. A. C, At the annual Play Day with the Bush School we broke an all-time record and won the basketball game, after which all of us. Bush and Seminary alike, delved into stacks of hamburgers at the C rill. The Bush girls enjoyed the splash party after luncheon after which they piled into their double-decked bus (some- what faintly reminiscent of our trips up the Mountain!) and left for Seattle. Throughout the year everyone was kept busy playing her matches for the tour- naments in badminton, ping-pong, bowling, tennis, and archery, and trying to win those all-important points for her team. Swimming periods were given over to training the girls for the Swimming Meet which was held on the thirtieth of April and during which contests were held in swimming and diving. Of course, the climax of the year came with the Athletic Banquet on the eve- ning of May Day. True to tradition, awards were made, and ribbons were given. At the end of this evening we all looked back on the year 1941-42 and with one accord agreed that it had been the best of them all in the field of sports. Catherine Gilbert.

Not yet his four score years and ten. How carelessly the days slipped on. A life not brilliant, not too plain; Now all is past, and he is gone. Only dimming memories now remain. Yet the world moves on. It seems so strange: The cold still chills, the flowers still breathe. The morning breaks, the tides still change. The sun still warms, the oceans seethe. A few sad glances, a few kind flowers. Dull, muffled voices, gentle eyes. Calm, futile words in dismal hours. Sad tearful faces, pensive sighs. Warm hands, warm voice, but cold inside. Soft eyes, soft words, but heavy breath: My heart has ached, my heart has cried. For this is sorrow, this is death! Bonnie Jean Chitty, Class XIL (56) OUR VALLtY UR house in Sumner was perched among the trees on Sumner Height where we could look down upon the surrounding valley. We proudly claimed that we had the best view in the country, and showed our val- ley to all our friends. From our house we could see the twin towns, Sumner and its larger rival. Puyallup, whose name the valley bears. In the morn- ing we could watch these little communities awake from the drowsy sleep of the night, and begin to go about the day ' s business. They were industrious little towns, but their industry seemed rather slow and easy-going, not at all the high- speed, almost inhuman mass production of the crowded cities. Even the smoke came out of the smokestacks in a lazy good-natured way and hovered over the plants as if to keep a kindly, watchful eye on them. Every afternoon the busi- ness men of the towns would gather at the corner drug-store to share coffee and sociability. When the factory whistles blew at five o ' clock, the men went home to the neat rows of houses, and soon little spots of light began to appear, until the whole valley was sprinkled with shining dots. Then as night progressed, one by one the lights would blink off. and the valley would go to sleep. There are many small farms in the Puyallup Valley, and we could see the rectangular plots of ground, and the neat, straight rows of crops. Over in one end of the valley was a nest of rhubarb sheds in which was grown, we soon discovered, the best rhubarb in the land. We could also see the long, straight rows of vines in the berry fields, and in summer the large, protective hats of the berry pickers, and their musty huts huddled at the edge of the fields. Puyallup Valley is noted for its flourishing bulb industry and boasts many vast fields of beautiful tulips and daffodils. As spring advanced we were always thrilled to watch the rectangular fields of soft leaf-green turn gradually into solid blocks of shimmering gold. The color was so vivid, that we, like Wordsworth, can never forget the splendor of it. Through these towns filled with neat rows of little houses and small shops, through the farms so small and yet so sturdy and independent, ran two rivers, ambling, winding rivers, which exemplified the unhurried good will of the valley. On early clear mornings we could behold it veiled in pink and yellow and fleecy white, and in the evening swathed in dull orange and scarlet, and later in soft purple. Sometimes the Mountain was so beautiful that the townspeople would telephone their friends to be sure that they did not miss the sight. It seemed to be. in a way. the guardian of the valley, and the people could sense a difference when it was covered by an inconsiderate cloud. It seemed a kindly and exalted soul who looked after the valley and safeguarded its peaceful and beautiful tran- quillity. Although we no longer live in the valley, it will always remain our val- ley ' by right of previous possession. Georgiana Wiebenson, Class X .

The ripening fields move gently, the lake s blue waters smile, the lily lifts its head, and the birds awake and fly to greet the peace sun. 1 he sea beats softly on the clean sands of the shore, the wild fields are full of many colored flowers, the new, green trees lift their shapely arms to touch the sky, and a few soft clouds walk with one another across the heavens. 1 lie birds sing in the sighing wind of a peaceful land. The sun, shooting its bloody fingers heavenward to stain the blue velvet cloak of night, rises to gaze on the war-torn world.

[30] AU rUMN PUZZLE JOUNG King Autumn sal at breakfast eating hazelnut cereal and drinking hot chestnut coffee. He was terribly worried. The old King Autumn was on a vacation, for he was tired of hazelnuts ilropping on his head. Every year the Autumn King would get autumn jobs through as quickly as possible so that he would have time to put a little frost on the trees and so do some of Winter ' s job. Perhaps twenty times the new King had watched the old King prepare autumn, and now he had everything under control, too. That is, all except one thing, and to save his life he couldn ' t remember what it was. King Autumn called all his fairies together and asked them w hat was wrong with autumn. They told him they didn ' t know. Briskly. King Autumn lifted his red and brown robes and with a few quick words summoned his yellow coach and brown horses. Having arranged himself in bright robes and on silken pillows, he gave the command to start. Over fields and through woods they flew, stopping first at the milkweed, then at the hazelnuts, and so on until all were covered. But when he returned to the palace he had only the things to say that the fairies had said: that the milkweed was bursting its pod: that the hazel and chestnut and every other nut was ripe; that the apples and I erries were rhanging color: iind tliat the birds were almost gone. The next day as he was sitting on his throne thinking, a new little fa iry came dancing in. She curtsied daintily and asked, ' F])id your Majesty want to see me? Well. I don t know what fairy you are, but the old King is going to come back tomorrow, and I can ' t find out what is wrong with autumn. said the new King. The fairy thought awhile, and then asked meekly, Milkweed all right? Hazel- nut all right? ' Yes, yes! stormed the King. Then I know ( rier! flir r,iir lt ' flie If-nxev Of course! cried the King, but we can t do leaves in a night. Leaves change gradually. Of course we can, said the fairy. We ' ll surprise the world. What is it without surprises? So that night, out went the workers. One group took buckets of red. yellow, orange, and brown paints and painted the leaves. Another group took bellows and blew the leaves dry. Another group took tiny toasters and toasted the leaves so that they would be crisp. Then the last group, the cutters, came and cut half the leaves off the trees. And the world woke up the next morning to a bright autumn day. Dagmar Quevli, Class V .

I wish she wouldn t call the boys who come io see me beaux. It s so absolutely dated. Absolutely! She always gets so excited when 1 come in or go out half an hour late. I wonder what it was like when she was young? She probably started at seven and had to be in at ten. I don t see how they had any fun. keeping the hours they did. But Mom says she had a good enough time, and I suppose she did if you call sitting in the parlor with the family all evening or sitting in the porch swing, having a good time. I wonder where Bob is? I wish he d come. I ve been home all day getting ready for tonight. You ' d think he would at least be on time for a first date. All the girls say he likes to keep them wailing.

I have to laugh when Dad tells me some of the things he and the gang used to do. especially on Hallowe en. It must have been something to live in a small town ana be able to play all the pranks he did — or. at least, he tells me he did. I d like to have been there the night they took Grandad s brand new buggy out of the barn and rolled it down Main Street hill. But I shouldn ' t like to have been there when Grandad found out about it and caught them! Bob Sylvester, if you don t get here in five minutes. I just won t speak to you! Dad must have had a lot of girls, or. anyway it sounds as if he did from the way he talks about them. 1 thought I d never stop laughing when he told me about the girl he went steady with ' in college. It seems she met an Italian count when she was wearing Dad ' s pin. She ran off with the count, married him. and moved to Italy, but she still has Dad ' s pin. You have just two more minutes. Bob. Oh. good! There ' s his car now. I ' d know that motor a mile away. Oh. Mother. I ' m going upstairs.

Mary Jeanne Norris, Class XIl [42] THE STORM HE day started out warm and sultry. Clouds began to appear in the sky until it looked like dusk. Then there was a Flash of lightning fol- lowed by a low rumble in the distance. Large raindrops splashed against the window pane. Now the thunder was growing louder, and the lightning Hashed, illuminating the sky. Then came darkness and the down- pour of rain beating against the windows, bending flowers to the earth and mak- ing little rivers in the streets. It seemed as though the world would float away. Gradually the storm lessened, the clouds parted, and a patch of blue appeared. In a burst of glory the sun shone once more upon the rain-drenched earth. The flowers raised their heads toward the warm rays of the sun. Then the brilliant iridescent colors of the rainbow stretched across the eastern sky. Vapor floated up from the roof-tops and streets, filling the air with a warm sweet fragrance. As the twilight deepened, the rainbow slowly faded away. and. one by one. twinkling stars gleamed in the moonlight. Norma Demick, Class IX, 1 HP CHALLENGER Dusk falls along the railroad tracks. In the distance is heard the far off whistle of a train. Eagerly we crouch by the trestle, the dog and I. as the whistle grows louder. Along the side of the hill a trail of smoke appears. The Challenger swings around tKe curve. The shining beam of her headlight piercing the gathering darkness. Smoke pours out of her stack. The ground shakes. The roaring is louder, closer. With a last mighty roar, the huge locomotive thunders past. High above us. Ray. the fireman. Waves his gloved hand from the window of the cat). Then the long black cars with ' The Challenger Lettered in red on their sides rush by. The signal light turns red as The Challenger disappears around the next hill. And we turn our footsteps homeward. Nancy Thomas, Class V . [45] FROM STRENGTH TO SI Rl£NG I H Serene Silent Strong With an irresistible force. Yet gently— always gently.
