1919 CLASS BOOK TEACHERS COLLEGE One of the most looked forward to events of our Fall term was the Dean's reception to the undergraduates. This year, alas! The class of '19 was barred out as a punishment for having painted our numerals on the Rock the Spring before. Resolving that these numerals be graven deep on the hearts of all at T. C. we played fair and stayed away. Some of us were rewarded though by our sisters who, in the protected recesses of their gowns, hid a portion of the goodies and with clever machinations brought the party tous! fgvbkr Q1 , 7tf mFi:l2s3,gWe fir- x fu 'W 'Y' Wfiw fmgh Eiga f as it 5 Qeivs?u 1 'WW 1 -M ft 2 WM 15:89 gg aff ,, S in N its Wsfsaws ' ' 1' 1 , ., - ,i - ' 4-551 , ' Q -' ff' '. .., lf, . - H: ,V Ar ., ?.f,q,,.45a -4-if . ,X - .5 UQ ,gn . q .

' The usual events of college life occurred, we followed the traditions of having Freshmen Walk,', then came the Sophomore play, Mice and Menii given in Brinkerhoff Theater. After Christmas we held our Hrst big party with real men -our Sophomore Hop in the Thompson Gym. We tried to adhere strictly to the path of gloryg we won the Hungarian Festival, a contest between the Fresh- man and Sophomore classesg our sports Cexcept our swimmingij were creditable. The final joy of our Sophomore year culminated in winning that Grand Event, Field Day! With hearts beating high, we looked forward to our next year, when We should be Juniors-upper classmen! ! and the joys of these we wotted not of! iiuniur 3Knutn5 ann knutns nut that sbs knutnsmbunur bn President . .

And how lorded it all over college, taking unto ourselves that which was ours and also as much of others rights and properties as We dared! Sophomore Rock was ours now and We guarded it jealouslyg it seemed to belong to us so much more since vve had had our numerals on it the year before. We e tried to impress on the Freshmen the dangers of sitting on Sophomore Rockg our rules for the Green Ones were thought to be most drastic and explicit. One evening however, Helen Bish- op our class president entered Sopho- more Song Practice with the news that the Freshmen Were gathering on Sophomore Rock! With one accord We filed out, determined upon being - . Y impressive and dignified, and in tones icily regular, splendidly nulln demanded the Whyfore of such behavior. Then in succulent voices did these Frosh tell us that the rules read, Freshmen shall not sit on Sophomore Rock. They Were standing on it! Laughter broke up the meeting and We returned to Whittier rejoicing that our foe was worthy of our steel. Incentive to outwit them Whet our future dealings. Early in the Fall term the class of 1917 recognized us as their sister class. Each Senior adopted a Sophomore, and in an impressive little ceremony Welded together bonds that were of deeper relationship than mere college friends-that were tinged with the more sacred intimacy of sisterhood. 59

1919 CLASS BOOK TEACHERS COLLEGE UR return this year was a little less hilarious than had been the one of the year before, we were on the threshold of Grown-up Land. New duties lay before usg and we were sobered somewhat by the realization that our country was at war and that we must learn to do without many things. But despite this touch of soberness, Junior year retained its tradition of being the happiest year in college. As Freshmen we were green, hesitant, bullied! Our next year we were attacked by acute sophomoritis. Nobody could really love us-we were bats-neither Freshmen nor upperclassmen. The Senior year is wonderful but speeds so quickly by and the parting is so sad at the end that one cannot help feel that coming event cast its shadows before. However, as Juniors we had not only this year, but the next to be happy ing and We were! Lost a little at first without the guiding hand of ,17 to point the way, we soon realized our authority of caring for the new class of '21 and were well launched on our career of Junior-hood. Endeavoring to show that we could co-operate in all things, we bent our ener- gies and came out ahead of the other classes in the Student Friendship Fund campaign. The first part of our year was rather quietg we had the usual class parties and small affairs. But the crowning joys of the year lay ahead in April when would come our long- anticipated Junior VVeek. Due to war conditions we cut down expenses as much as possible, so a rather modest program was followed. Junior Week opened April 9, 1918 in a reception to the class by Mrs. Russell in her apartment. Our memories of that are of warm cordiality, yummy', re- freshments and a delightful afternoon in all. April 10th was the Junior play-given strictly in accordance with war ruling. VVe had no hired props nor costumes, but gave a simple little play called The Three Chauffeursf' after which we danced. Thursday evening our sister class gave us a party in the Kindergarten Room. This was the usual good time that we always have with them! April 12th was the Prom. This was held at the Hotel lVIcAlpin. VVords cannot do justice to such a gorgeous aHair, so let us on to the end of the week which terminated in a class luncheon given in the same hotel. One more drop was added to our cup of Golden Happiness, when for the third time running, 1919 won Field Day! With that feeling of content that the successful accomplish- ment of hard tasks gives, we went forth on our Summer Vacation with anticipation half- joyful, half-regretful of our last, our Senior Year yet to come! Qeniur knows anh imutns that she knutnsmreherence her I. And now we are come to our last year of college Covered with laurels and chuck full of knowledge, We beat basketball without batting an eye, And as usual, on field day we'll knock 'em sky high. II. E're at the meet, weire at last in the swim, And begin by giving the college a trim, For once we got started-why swimming's our line, And we drowned out old Barnard twenty-one-forty-nine. 61
