APRIL. MAY, 1953-It's spring again, and a long-awaited vacation refreshes us: some cake sales and a card party sponsored by the Dorm help us to aid the World Student Service Fund, an all-night party at the Dorm and we pass out scotch tape to aid them through their classes, the dance at the Community House. sponsored by the Student Council this time, is a big success, and some of us end up with prospects for the prom, the Dean takes some of us to New York for a week-end trip: the Senior Talent Show goes off very well, Mr. Sun gets warmer, and we flock around the pool to see who will get the nicest tan for our approaching prom, term papers once again become all important, but we forget them as soon as they're finished, plans and practice for Class Day and Graduation begin, and yearbooks start circulating, our prom finally arrives, and we start on the last episode of our Bay Path days, JUNE, 1953-The days dwindle down, to a precious few, and before we know it, what we've worked for during our two years comes, Class Day with all its excitement of Coronation, May Pole dance, and Fashion Show, practice for Graduation starts us in the reminiscent vein, but we're too busy to really stop and think about things, our farewell picnic comes next and we really have a gay time, and then, one by one, we somehow reach Dean McCraray and our precious degrees, it's over and we're all saying our goodbyes, none of us can figure out why we need our handkerchiefs . . . maybe it's because we suddenly realize that from this moment on our years at Bay Path can never again be anything more than memories. .0 u H., is' ' h fwfr-3, K vw' l C k S I a e a e iiAll-Nightersx Card Party 2.--J 544 A .A 5 T .-.:-g '- ,'?' -'fart . .

BRIDGE CLUB During our two years of school, many girls expressed the desire to know how to play bridge, so, in the fall of our senior year, regular bridge club meetings were started, under the leadership of Shirley Klinzing. Each week the girls met to play, and the aim of the club, to teach girls the game, was accomplished. This was done so successfully that from that time until the end of the year, girls played bridge between classes, during their lunch hour, and after school, both in the lounge of Deepwood and in Empsall Hall.
