Our third year is progressing famously, with Louise Bellows as our leader. Mary McGrail is vice-president, Marie Jones, secretary, and Ruth Middleton, treasurer. One of the most important elections was that of Prom Committee— for Prom is one of the biggest things in a junior’s life. Charlotte Armstrong is chairman, and is helped by Virginia Hughes, Theresa Arratto, Margaret Kirby. We are looking forward to an exciting Junior Week, for what with the Pan- adelphic Ball, the Show, the C. S. S. Tea Dance and Prom, there will be some- thing doing every minute. As far as our other activities are concerned, we had a party for the freshmen and we have our Year Book,—take a look at it,—it speaks for itself. We still have one more year to be together—and then—friends will sepa- rate—but our good times and bad times, our gay times and sad times will remain in the memories of us all. We love our college and everything connected with it. It has taught us that service for others is the most important thing in life. May we profit by the worthy lessons learned here, and cherish the friend- ships made. Long live the Class of ’24!! 41

Do you remember the first day of our second year? We were sophomores at last! And we endeavored to impress the whole world with the fact, but es- pecially that particular part of it occupied by the freshmen. At once we pro- ceeded to initiate them into the joys of college life. They, poor dears, had their hair done up on curlers and in every way were made ridiculous. They were game, though, and we think a great deal of the present Sophomore Class. Early in the year class elections were held. Great excitement then, but Mildred Coleman headed the list, with Mildred Hewins as vice-president, Mary McGrail, secretary, and Mary Johnson, treasurer. We only wish that Milly had stayed with us for the Grand Finale. The next thing on the program was the Endowment Fund drive, that great University affair that filled us all with a deeper desire toward loyalty and love for our Alma Mater. ’24 was the second class in C. S. S. to have a 100% sub- scription—surely a splendid proof of its spirit. February brought plans for the Hop—our first large social affair and formal dance. New gowns were discussed at length and we dreamed of it for weeks. The Committee consisted of Anne Marshall, Lillian Lehmann, and Ruth Middleton. If you want to hear something funny, ask Anne and Lill about the balloons, When the day of this all-important event did arrive, nothing could restrain us. Even Miss Vaughan had hard work to keep her classes interested. You know, she was somewhat worried herself that day about a suitcase her brother was keeping for her—but it was all right in the long run. And of course it was a howling success. Sid Reinherz’s music and the Copley-Plaza are a never-failing combination. We can’t begin to remember all the nice things that happened last year. There was the Dramatic Club play ‘“‘Charm School’’—a bazaar—a birthday party, with Marilyn Miller cutting the cake—convocation with Foch—and the B. U. show, with C. S. S. carrying all honors for leading parts. Now we are juniors—a little wiser in experience, but realizing more than ever before that there is much in the world to learn yet. This year we have been introduced to Law under the guidance of Miss Page, and you know ‘“‘ignorance of the Law excuseth no one,”’ as alas, some of us have already discovered. And we have a class in Rhythmics! And ever so many new courses to pass away our leisure hours, which are very few and far between. This year we can boast of a Dormitory. About one hundred girls live in the building adjoining the Club House. And don’t say a word—there is a real Sivad office there, with a typewriter and desk and everything. Drop in some time! 40
