Classical Archeology . . . Our first taste of Archeology will always be connected in our minds with the sump- tuous teas that preceded the weekly confer- ence. Large helpings of cherry jam accom- panied tales of Egyptian tombs, or the complications caused by a turkey bought for the wrong Thanksgiving. Weekly com- muniques on the mysterious invasion of in- sects kept us on tenterhooks all spring. The 1945 spring term saw two replace- ments, as one professor left for California for a much-needed rest. We are thankful, since the College had to suffer his loss, that we had that year the privilege of working with Dr. Valentine Muller. Junior year, the kaleidoscopic faculty pre- sented us with still another combination. Assuming our most learned air, we attended lectures at the Philosophical Society, and searched frantically for water to wash down the salty fish-paste sandwiches afterwards. For the last step-singing, we braided our tassels and prepared, as the traditional two Archeology majors, to enter the Senior class. For the final picture, a new member was added to the faculty. The sem, timidly en- tered in other years, became our base of oper- ations, where the grad students proved equally good as reference sources and conver- sationalists. Page twenty

Economics and Political Science . . . Sixty eager economists in 101 feel money is the root of all evil . As our numbers dwin- dle and our classes move to the library, we become more convinced of it. Miss North- rop ' s course informs us there is an equilib- rium of prices, but staring at Chamberlin ' s graphs makes us lose our equilibrium! Our senior year we are labeled as transients as we trudge to Low Buildings for comprehen- sive conferences (and tea) . Full employment leaves us depressed, but as we embark on our search for employment, (housewives aren ' t classified as employed, Jonesie) we have de- cided we must come to the root of all evil. Professors come and professors go, but the politics department stays on. As freshmen we started out under the able guidance of Rod- ger Wells and Margaret Reed. Soon, however, the government staked its claims. Swiss Miss Staerk taught American Government and American Rodger Wells went to Germany. In the next three years we progressed through W. Brooks Graves, Miss McCown, and Bryce Wood. Around mid-years, we realized that impermanence was going to dog us ' till comprehensives. The State Depart- ment called Miss McCown, thereby reducing the department to one. The Bachrachs, not to be outdone, raised it one with the birth of Catherine (with a C) Bachrach. Page tivenly-two
