To accomplish this we pre- sented, with the aid of Sister Alice Marie, our We're Wise party in the form of a Puppet Operetta, the freshmen, of course, being the puppets of the sophomores. The theme song, We Are Only Puppets , sung by all the freshmen, was written by Jessie Carlson and proved laudable musical ability. Mae Walther amazed everyone with her versatility, for she not only accompanied the other entertainers on the piano but also sang and tap-danced as well.

On Wednesday, September twentieth, the oflicial session opened. To our intense delight, we proceeded to our first class. What a thrill as we realized that we were really launched on our college career! Thursday saw the boarders intent on mak- ing the dormitory as homelike as possible. Naturally, our curiosity led us to inspect the dining hall, the social room, the auditorium, and the chapel, all of which we discovered to be in the dormitory known as Saint Joseph Hall. Returning to our rooms we wrote long, excited letters home, recounting in detail everything we had seen and done and how kind and friendly everyone had been to us. Soon there followed a series of parties, which, of course, are an essential part of every college. The juniors began by giving us a Welcome Party. A week later, the sopho- mores invited us to their Get Wise party at which they kindly informed us we were to be initiated. We were told that it would be very easy and that all that would be re- quired would be a costume consisting of pig- tails and huge green bows, a red bandanna, an apron, a bib with our names inscribed upon it and, last but not least, we must carry our books in a pail. With outward dejection and inward amusement we suffered this horrible indignity for two long weeks. Following the initiation came the dance with R. P. l. which we had awaited with great anticipation. It was our first venture into mixed college life and we modestly be- lieve it was a decided success. Some of the warm friendships made that night are still in We re IVzse , plead M. Gallogly, M.

We must admit, however, that the laurels for the eve- ning went to Jayne O'Brien's Kitchen Band, featuring Patricia Bates and her musical wash- board. Yes, all in all, we were more than satisfied with our first public appearance. Our next undertaking was the election of class oFncers. When the results were an- nounced, it was discovered thatjayne O'Brien was unanimously chosen as president. As her Row 1. F. Ryan, M. Pollak, M. Volpe. C. Palanga, F. IVoorlward f. lVillia1ns Row 2.
