I m glad to he back, vacations are fun, Hi, kids! Presents galore. And registration is once again (what a bother). Classes, marks, Dean’s list, wi th accompanying cheers, smiles, congratulations, sighs, disappointments. Then a sleigh ride. Commuters are in the grove—lanterns twinkle, sled run¬ ners crunch the snow. And what ho!—Winter Carnival with basketball, a treasure hunt, figure skating, skiing. Cheering and shouting. A tall, blonde king. A charm¬ ing. dark-haired queen. And St. Valentine comes with a peppy party, tired, happy faces. Goodnights, and the dorm is surprisingly quiet after a hilarious week-end. 1 hen it s down the receiving line at the Sophomore Hop into a Winter Wonderland with programs, music, fancy steps, new gowns, charm.

Out we go into the fresh, green world! tfc 3: A grand finale—lawn party,—picnic, swimming, boating, eating. No Prom this year!
