MAY DAY, 1955 Each year that we participated in the May Day Ceremony, our thoughts turned to our own May Day. For some of us that anticipa- tion began twelve years ago and has sharpened each year. It is this anticipation, growing stronger each year, that makes May Day so meaningful. Our May Day was wonderful, just as we had pictured it would be for so long. The dancing seemed the most colorful and expres- sive ever done. Sandra carried the flag, lead- ing the court dressed in dotted swiss dresses and carrying baskets of flowers. Nancy placed the crown on Anne ' s shining head, and follow- ing the tradition, all knelt to pay homage to our Queen. We remembered how carefully we had chosen the Flag Bearer, Maid of Honor, and May Queen, considering who best char- acterized the ideals of Annie Wright, and we were proud of our choices. May Day has long been a symbol of spring, and the newly-planted rhododendron beds gave evidence of this. It is a time of year when old friendships are renewed and alumnae return, remembering their own May Day. Yes, this experience was richer because of our expecta- tions, and it will always be one of the high- lights of our last year here. MAY DAY, 1943 Left to Right: Betsy Gardner.

Patricia Ann Wolfe Pat has acquired a faith in God which never lessens. Though she is quiet in manner, the integrity which rules her life and her high ideals have earned our sincere respect. She works hard at all she does, but her great love is being outdoors, especially if a picnic or ten- nis game is in the offing. Grace Phoebe Wooster Grace, as her name implies, showed the quiet, unassuming graciousness which made her invaluable as a class hostess. She has served well as she shared in the religious life of the Seminary and this year she broadened her interests by voluntarily teaching Sunday School at Christ Church. Dorothea Alice Youngberg Dorrie. with her ringing laugh and thought- ful gaze, has a great love and understanding for music and poetry. She enjoys nature and outdoor life and feels much at home there. Dorrie showed literary ability by her work both on the Shield and Ascent, and her desire to understand people enhances her hope of be- coming a writer. i

Not only have we learned the technicalities that go into publishing such a book, but we have become aware of our school and our class in such a way that our experience will not be forgotten. It was our responsibility to express the personality of our class and our school for future years. We wished to capture the spirit of our Senior year here, distinguishing it from other years and noting its signifi- cance for the future. To those of us leaving the Seminar) ' , the Shield is a prized possession, for it will be a constant reminder of our life here.
