try Club. That was a marvelous place to have the first dance of the year! Thanksgiving vacation-four and a-half whole days! You went home and I stayed in New York. Even if we did have four half- days of make-up classes it was well worth it. Christmas vacation was next. It was a Wonderful vacation because most of the boys were finally home from the services. When we all got back we found there were several new engagement rings to add to the list of those engaged during the fall. I can recall so well encircling the Mid- year weekend on my calendar, thinking that would be the next gay moment in my life. But the faculty fooled us and gave the Prol- ics. It was a delightful pause in that very studious period in the year. The faculty cer- tainly tossed their caps and gowns aside that night! The Midyear weekend was loads of fun, didn't you think? You should have come to Lake Placid with us. The next weekend was the dance at the Cosmopolitan Club. I'll never forget the blue satin dress you wore that afternoon. It was the latest thing and knocked the boys' eyes out. The Amherst-Briarcliff Concert was a ter- rific success, as I remember, even if you did come in once with the boys' part. Your so- I think half of the college went to Florida or to Bermuda. The ,suntans didn't last very long when we got back to the late winter snows of New York. Father's Day and May Day were just after we got back. I bet you five dollars you wouldn't ask a certain professor to be your adopted. father and you did. No wonder you got such a better mark in the next quarter! Then came those horrible finals, and every- one was sure they were going to flunk. We all burned a lot of midnight oil during that week! The confusion of all our parents arriving, Baccalaureate in the church at the foot of the hill, and, at last, the wonderful moment in our lives when we got our diplomas under the oak trees. I'll never forget the nervous feeling I had when my name was called. I didn't think I could walk up to Mrs. Tead without stumbling, or something else equally as embarrassing. . Well, Ianet, I hope you don't mind my reminiscing like this for pages and pages. I'm awfully glad now I took time out to play the record. Time Was is a Wonderful song. Do write soon again, and by the way. sometime soon we might fly over to see you and your brood for the weekend. These jet propelled commercial planes are a wonder- ful invention. Do write me all the news from Geneva. prano voice wasn't very conspicuous. Love, Spring vacation was soon upon us, and Susie S,S. A- Y- f- xx ' ob yr Tk s 2,23 YR' -x X NXRI A' 25 .

Taylor, Secretary. ime Iune 9, 1957 , Dear lanet, This afternoon I was sorting out my ac- cumulated stacks of victrola records and I came across a record that used to be an old favorite of mine. You remember it, don't you, Time Was. I dusted off the old disc and went downstairs to play it. I must have been tired from working all afternoon, because before I knew what had happened I had dozed off. And you know, Ianet, it was the funniest thing. I dreamt all about our senior year at Briarcliff! The President's Reception-we all felt so sophisticated, knowing the ropes, and being hostesses. I can't tell you how many times I said, Mrs. Tead, may I present-. That Sunday, Convocation, and we mighty CHARLOTTE WORRALL Class President '47 CLJ seniors at last got to sit in the front section of the gym. Ianet, do you remember the day in Oc- tober We had the fire drill, and the engines. police, and mayor came up the hill! I bet Mr. Culp never forgot to turn off the alarm to the village after that: we all thought it was so exciting! I understand Mr. 'Culp is working on a 600-inch telescope in his spare time. Then came the Quarterly show, Dreamin' is the Demon that's Got Me. The original music in that was very good, didn't you think? Y Quarterly exams hit us, and I'll never for- get the pigtails, dungarees, and men's shirts that we wore during those trying days. The formal dance at the Briar Hills Coun-
