y CTlVn of a spec ial sort in Barnard Hall this spring — w e mean the hustle and bustle attendant on Greek Games — forced almost every member of the class of 57 to a very definite realization of how rapid can be the passage of four years of college life. For when 1Q37 was less than one year old, that illustrious class, in answer to a chal- lenge in the old Greek manner, displayed its rhythmical, musical, and athletic prowess to the world. And thereby hangs a tale. 1937 lost Greek Games in 1934. Experience proved a faithful teacher, however, and led tlie class to a substantial victory in 1933. Emerging from the emotional wear and tear of the first two years (always the hardest, my dear), 1937 embarked upon the glorious Junior year, fraught as it is with all the sweet pathos of tradition and great moments — Junior Prom and Junior Show. With the versatility for which the class is famous, the class swayed first to sweet music and soft lights at the Savoy Plaza, and then rushed thumpingly and riotously on to the Brinkerhoff stage, there to show the world just what Barnard could do if shipwrecked on an island where some men hate women and others think they are plenty useful. Later in the semester, f lortarboard made its appearance, and soon became the boudoir com- panion of every Junior and of the college at large. With cool and placid dignity the class brought its caps and gowns for the Senior year. Amy Schaeffer had been elected president. Proctors became mildly forceful, and the stately entrance to all college assemblies took on a new importance to the class of 37. The sudden realization of the almost imminent end of college life set a marked impetus to the interest in, and zeal for, the success of the Barnard Fair. Jane Craighead and her diligent staff, teeming with energy and ideas, helped to insure the reality of a new building where posterity will some day pursue its stud ies. With the advent ol the spring semester, the Senior Week plans and preparations began to crystallize under the able supervision of Adele Hagland. All over the place committees and sub-committees were meeting, fired with originality and a genuine desire to make the class of 1937 outstanding. Spring weather early in the semester emphasized the evil influence which the prerogative of unlimited cuts gives to the Senior. But Seniors thank their lucky stars for the Faculty Follies and for a mild winter. In these respects the year 1936-1957 has been unique. 23
