Down in a Leafy Dell ' Watching and Waiting l l E eased our tired brains, and enjoyed the reputation of a source of innocent merriment . Perhaps this is what we remember best — the time x set fire to the trash- basket and we put it out with a vase of flowers — those wild expeditions that we took to Seaside, New Jersey and acted like carefree Hottentots — when y bid a grand slam and went down thirteen — and those week-ends when we shunned our papers for parties, and entertained Penn and Haverford. Freshman year just horseplay occupied our spare mo- ments — and many of our upperclass moments, too. The mirth and fun grew fast and furious whenever there was time on our hands. It over-flowed into those parties where we played so madly, and expressed itself in food, one of life ' s central interests, as we squandered academically vital hours over pecan buns at the Inn. Fall and spring we took to the open, trekking to Saunders Barn, having tremendous picnics, sunbathing where we shouldn ' t, and acting as if the world were our oyster — which it was. Best of all was the Greeks, where Mike was our friend and champion, and dispensed food and saved us cigarettes. Our nightly trips to that haven made us somewhat notorious, as we came reeling back fortified with milk shakes and sand- wiches, but in style that would do any sailor proud. Arms- ful of food for unfortunate friends who had to study made our progress even more precarious, and many a night had the atmosphere of debauch. Leaves and smoke in the fall . . . snowmen and snowballs in the winter . . . daffodils and mud in the spring . . . from Rock to Pembroke, from Denbigh to Merion to Radnor, from Rhoads to Wyndham, there were those same slap- happy times when nothing mattered except that the exam wasn ' t until tomorrow.
