The lattice swung wide, and the sunbeam, Lowering, touched a curl, Carrying with it new day, To a sleeping, care-free girl. Across the rippling sunbeam, And into the valley's shade, Glided two radiant figures, And they wakened the slumbering maid. She started, she saw not their faces, But she knew well the reason they came. And, stretching her arms out to greet them, She whispered and called them by name. Freedom, oft have I sought thee, And long at thy mountain I gaze, But never have seen the peaks clearly; Their summits bear veilings of haze. Then slowly she turned to the other, Half-fearful, withdrawing a pace. Truth, she plead, Let me behold thee, Reveal to me, pray, they face. Already have I heard the bugle; Tomorrow is calling me away. But my mother and father have held me, Saying, Daughter, not yet is thy day. Yes, the time is at hand, spoke the Truth. Tomorrow is really thine own. Today brings thine enunciation. Thy seeds of learning are sown. Wrap on this mantle of purpose, And upon thy forehead I place Thy third eye, Imagination, With which thou canst glimpse my face. Then spake Freedom, Do not misuse me; For then must I leave thee, apart, But guard me and carefully treat me, And cherish me next to thy heart. They kissed the girl and they left her. But now she was not afraid; For she had a protection, the mantle, And the third eye of vision, her aid. Mother and father, I leave thee, The bugles of life sound the call. I am growing; Tomorrow will need me; I answer the summons of all. So she left them. Twas heard in the parting. But she knew the call had been true; And they gave her the pillow, Affection, To strengthen and ease her way through. Eager for conquest, she started, The third eye of vision her guide. Purpose, she bore, and Affection; And Freedom walked close by her side. Chapter ATHLETICS There is a great commotion. The scene is laid in a large field. We see our own team fall into the hands of the adversary. Head lines in the paper next morning read, Great Freshman Gain on Hockey Field. Sophomores Gathering Reserve Forces for Junior- Soccer Drive. The next week sees these letters in large print: Sophomores Regain Lost Territory. 23

o ni e el '-- r willk gy Al P s it o s o a0 In appreciation of the first Alumnae of Connecticut College, the Class of 1919, whose members, through their sacrifice and loyalty, laid the foundation for the Connecticut College woman of the future. To them we owe our greatest tradition, responsible Student Govern- ment. Determined and noble pioneers, they are leading us on toward the ideals for which the college was founded. Their example and friendship will ever be in our hearts. 1919S SETTING SAIL Tune: Baby's Boat's the Silver Moon' 1919's setting sail, Eager hearts and true; We will ever in our thoughts bear our love for you.

The Fall drive ended in a big battle between our Allies, the Faculty, and the Juniors. The Faculty were gaining two points and hurling Juniors to right and left by sheer force. There was a great proces- sion and rejoicing. 1 he Faculty reservists came forth in large numbers, offering their ser- vices as water carriers, truck drivers, and Hot Cross Nurses. As the winter came on with its storms and rough winds, our leaders decided on inten- sive training within walls, so we practised bivouacing and picketing, which, being inter- preted, means shooting baskets and passes. Then from our ranks stepped forth eight robust maidens; like warriors they came, unconquerable, fire flashing in every eye. There was Doyle, whom we christened as captain. Her brain work was famous before. And McGowan the rapid and nimble, Whose baskets helped heighten the score. Then Axvilla, our blithe, buxom lassie, And Bettie, our lean one but chaste, And Mildred, our lithe one and sturdy, And Helen with smile unerased. Firmly our band stepped out and woe to any opponent who showed too great resis- tance. As I look back, there is an Amazon whose energy seemed unconquerable, but our powerful center gently but firmly overcame her show of spirit. Needless to say, we gained confidence, and with the Spring drive, 20, the indomitable, came through with but few injuries, such as an unsuccessful battle on water, a slight overthrow on the tennis court, and a little surprise on the Volley-ball courts. Then peace was declared, as all of our Allies and combatants agreed, and at the Athletic Banquet, friend and foe alike united in re- ceiving the trophies of war, our trusty Allies still serving up in good stead,and how they served! Then into our midst came a cup, shining, bearing our name. Our President toasted the classes thereupon in great glee. Chapter 2PURSUING THE ACADEMIC, OR WHY I CAME TO COLLEGE Study we must, for our cause it is just, And this be our motto, At it, or bust! - Mention of Teed, the Doughertys and Elizabeth Nagy, enters here with fervent eeling. Chapter 3STUDENT ACTIVITIESPuzzle: Find the Student! - The curtain rises slowly. College girls working in many noble positions in this hon- orable city. The Friendship Drive is on every one's lips. And we went over the top! Th?n came a day of feasting, a national Thanksgiving, and all the inmates of this worthy mstitutionbut I forgot, : . Our eye travels over many pretty girlhood scenes of rippling laughter and over-flow- ing spirits. Tillhark ye! What are the words bursting on our ears, a sobbing voice 24
