oSiEgiiraSi Senior Class History T was back in 1918 that the class of 1922 tirst came to P. C. W. As all classes are, 1922 was formally matriculated; as a few classes have the privilege of doing, she received the colors ellow and white. 1920 was our sister class, and the spirit of co-operation and good will and love for the college that characterizes ' 22 may largely be attributed to her splendid examjile. (jetting acquainted was easy at such a de- lightful tea as the Juniors gave us. Then along came mid-years, but the ' didn ' t bother ' 22. Natural genius and the first Mid-year dance pulled us through. Ella May Wilson had been chosen class president. Later Miss White was chosvn honorar} ' member, and there again 1922 demonstrated her wisdom. In baskelball the Freshmen held the chani[)ionship. By spring we were voted the peppiesi class in college. Our Sophomore year was largely devoted to making the fiftieth anniversary celcbra ' ion a success. Margaret Gray was elected president. Unfortunately, Miss White was not with us, she being of the strange opinion that more knowl- edge was to be attained through acquiring a PhD. than through studying us. But Dean Root acted as our advisor in a very satisfactory manner. Again, that spring, the Sophomore Cotillion was voted by Dr. Acheson — no less — to be the prettiest party ever given at P. C. W. So, with our athletic honors, v ' e con- tinued to maintain rel- lUit it was in the pageant that we e.xcelled. We were everywhere at once, in e ' er ' thing at once, and undoubtedly it would not have been a success without us ! When we came back as Juniors we recei ed a foretaste of the cares and re- sponsibilities of life. We became a sister class to 1924 — a delightful re- lationship, but one requiring the most solicitous concern on our part! Sarah Mill(rr was our president, and Miss White could again be our honorary member — as Dr. White. As Juniors we took psychology and grew unbounded wise . The song contest in the spring was one of the high marks of the year. We almost got first prize for Ain ' t we got fun? , but our very ardor and en- thusiasm defeated us in spoiling our tone qualit} ' and expression . Our stunt for Illumination Night was voted unquestionably the best, however. As Seniors, we accepted unhesitatingly our jilace as leaders in the college. Ina Connelly has been a most efficient president. This year we helped to establish a precedent — Mountain Day. Then we inaugurated a system of teas, and gave the faculty one just before mid-years. Not that our class needed such delicate diplomacy, but Seniors must consider the lower classes ! We made an excellent showing in athletics even if we did lose the basketball cham- pionshij). The Senior play, Milestones, has been selected, and that makes us realize that commencement is the next big event for 1922. Then we are through — actively. And we hate to go — no matter what we do. it won ' t be at P. C. W. We came to college to get our craniums full of knowledge, — In the meantime In between time Don ' t we have fun! In college and out of college that will always be the spirit of the class of ' 22. Anne Jay, ' 22. Page Twentihjive

-mMom m IXA CONNELLY HELEN ALLISON Dramatic Club ( I, J, 3, 4), (ilee Club (I, 4), Mandolin Club (I, 4), Leader (2, 3), Berry Hall Board (2), Secretary Student Government Board (3), Y ' W. C. A. Cabinet (3). Song Leader (3), Class President (4), Pennsylvanian Staff (4). She ' s a jim dandy, the girls all declare . As yet no one has been able to discover just what Ina can ' t do. As president of our class, she has led us nobly ; in musical ability she has no equal. The only instru- ment she can ' t play is the xyloi)hone. In French her accent is superb ; her ])ronounciation of hors de combat thrills even Madame. Ina ' s strong point, however, is Veronica . The only drawback to driving A ' eronica is the necessity of keeping plenty of cigars for the traffic cops.

A ' e all admire Helen liecause she never breaks a house rule — but then she couldn ' t. She doesn ' t miss a thing at Tech, but we just know her heart is in Philadelphia all the time, otherwise from whence all the candy . ' Ask her neighbors across the hall where it goes. Gluttons ! Helen plays guard on our basket- ball team, and although no one would guess it, she has a healthy right arm. I-A ' en the ' 22 team knows that. Page Ticenty-seven
