While all residents of New York state commemorated it on November twenty-third, those from some of the eastern states commemorated Thanks- giving on the thirtieth of November. This holiday seemed to infuse an unusually happy and truly thankful spirit into the whole college body. In cooperation with the chari- table work of the Catholic Youth Organi- zation, students fdonated plum puddings for the benefit of poor families who, otherwise would have done without it. . Even so short a respite from scholastic duties was welcomed after two months of work. Whether it was the effect of turkey and the fixin's , the prevading spirit of gratitude, or an ominous sense of the ap- proach of mid-years, all returned with re- newed ambition. This year our class, which incidentally has been the largest in the college, received six 0 sk RJ' ff is, A -i v gvgfrf get 03 f I . 'Y Row 1. R. Madigan, E. Walsh, M. Zach, E. Tarenko, M.

At these meetings, only the foreign tongue is spoken, except of course in the case of Latin. These language clubs encourage initiative, afford not only amusing but culturally valu- able enjoyment, and foster a deeper study of the foreign modes of speech and life itself. Even by this time, although it was still early in the year, We had a good taste of what a sophomore has to go through. The Commerce class had plunged headlong into shorthand, and had accepted its challenges courageously. At the same time, the nurses were confronted by anatomy. This was a valiant conflict, but the spirit of a true nurse is not easily defeated. Psychology of educa- tion also aroused a spirit of self-defense, for we did not quite know what was coming next. Speech was the course that really baffled us, when We realized that there was no valid excuse for not giving the prescribed number of speeches. It is no wonder that our self-confidence and above all our self control were developed and vvell trained! In spite of the fact that it seemed as if we had just started school, We were faced with the inevitable trial of mid-semesters as soon as We had caught up vvith November. Cf course those examinations are not really very crucial, but unfortunately they do presuppose a bit of study. In anticipation of the coming holiday, we accomplished and promptly for- got the mid-semesters. At last, the Thanksgiving Holidays ar- rived! Some of the students were fortunate 25

Peggy Sheehan had formerly attended Manhattanville college, New York, while Martha Buckley had transferred from Saint Elizabeth's, New Jersey. Grace Collins and Marian Hansen had both come from Russell Sage, Troy while Evelyn Lindsey had attended Saint Lawrence, and Frances Berta- lino had studied at Green Mountain College, Vermont. Naturally it took a while for us to become acquainted, but now we would find it equally difhcult to part from them. They joined co-operatively in the activities of the class, and have proved to be conscientiously responsive to extra-curricular activities. Their school spirit has also been noteworthy. We hope that they have enjoyed being with us this year and will continue to be with us for two more years, the two most glorious years of any girl's college life. The members of Shadows started rehears- ing rather early in the year in order to present their annual play on November seventeenth Row 1. S. Hecox. M. Hotaling, P. Harmon, M. Guiflon Row 2. V.
