called on Mrs. Manning. We gave her Christmas vacation in which to think it over but when we returned, public opinion was firm in rejecting her suspiciously in- adequate apologies. Miss Carey was roped in as a substitute because of the sympathy she had shown us in the situation. When Edna St. Vincent Millay read to us in her smart Virennet model, her expert English accent so won our hearts that we asked her to take over our enthralling Sophomore English course in Miss Donnelly ' s place. Even Miss Donnelly asked her to take Miss Donnelly ' s place. But Miss Millay wearily said that her heart was otherwhere. We were puzzled by this but decided she meant no as she never reappeared. After seeing the Duncan Dancers, 1931, always body-conscious, begged Miss Park to make Terpsichore our gracious inspiration. When she refused, 1931 took their revenge by employing the Duncan technique at the Tea Dances. This made us unpopular with the fellers but who is 1931 to surrender its ideals? The year ended in a round of social activities and hoops. We were sorry when no one in 1929, our sister class, received degrees, but we felt this was really deserved after their disgraceful stubbornness about the chapel situation. They kept right on going to chapel in Taylor long after Miss Park started holding it in Goodhart and often frightened timid professors like Miss Swindler by singing hymns and shouting Amen in the second floor classrooms at nine o ' clock. Even though by this time we saw what it would lead to, some of us thought that we might return the next year. Miss Carey thought that some of us mightn ' t and our faith in her was justified when we found that every time she thought this she was right. P.

Junior Year JUNIOR year dawned bright and clear. Now that we were Juniors we could no longer be considered too young to understand history of art. We found lots of changes to challenge our growing powers of observation. We found the dean ' s office inhabited by the Walrus and the Carpenter who in private life turned out to be only our friends Miss Carey and Miss Gardiner. We found too that we could no longer enjoy unmolested the sweet solitude of P.T. ' s garden, but we could still find a quiet haven by dropping in at Radnor to see the grads who were happy in the possession of their promised land. About this time we had lots of good resolu- tions such as passing our orals at the first attempt. Somehow we forgot those resolu- tions in the excitement over the exact interpretation of medicinal purposes only . One of us even tried to bribe the clerk at Liggett s to tell how much coca cola would really be medicinal. Then they opened the Reserve Room on Sunday afternoon so that we could induce our Sunday afternoon sleep by carefully chosen reading. Before Christmas we were allowed to enjoy the benefits of Johnnie ' s and Mary Drake ' s summer at St ckbridge. After Christmas Miss Park fled from an exam strain to an express strain. Then the freshmen cheered us up with Palpitating Pinafores and we sat on the front and smiled encouragingly at them every time the scenery fell down. Miss Carey acted as fashion arbiter for us last spring, but still the good blue jacket seemed cosy and clean and green linen overalls made us feel all light and fluffy. Page Thirteen
