From a delicately wrought lantern A golden path cut the blue night ! Dov fn the shining path floated wraiths — Pale wraiths of young ideals and hopes and longings. Oh, Lantern — hand-wrought and beautiful, May thy glow, softly yellow. Light the blue night of our older days — Bring the ideal dawn of our younger days Always before us ! A golden path cut the blue night. From a delicately-wrought lantern A golden path cut the blue night! Four short years ago, when, for the first time, we entered these halls, now so hallowed by association, in a timid expect- ancy of the great experiences that College v as treasuring for us, we met with the cheeriest of welcomes from one to whom we afterwards turned for sure guidance. As we have gone forth in the holiday spirit to each successive vacation, he has been the last to wish us farewell, and the first to greet us on our return with equal heartiness and personal interest in all. As we have encountered difficulties in our academic path, he has been foremost in adjusting them, in giving us the needed word of encouragement or friendly admonition. Participating alike in our scholastic achievements, our social undertakings, and our contests in sportsmanship, his name will ever be i with every pleasant memory of our college fellowship We of 1925 dedicate our book to this most loyal the class, ir. iautJi WiUi ICpib n T [6] Olga M.

[18] ri9i One who never turned his back but marched breast forward, Never doubted clouds would break, Never dreamed, though right were worsted, wrong would triumph, ... So has President Marshall revealed himself to us in the four years that we have known him — four years all too fleeting. To our work he has given inspiration, he has always been the companion of our happy play, and in our aspiring toward the true and good, we have ever found in him a strong and cour- ageous guide. It is to him that we owe our ever-growing vision of the richness, beauty and infinite possibilities of life. When, in the mist-veiled future, we contemplate our col- lege days, there will be always the memory of our leader who showed us the way to greater, deeper realms, and as our thought turns to him, there will echo in our hearts: His life was gentle, and the elements So mixed in him that nature might stand up And say to all the world : ' This was a man ! ' [20] MxBB Jrpup Nup Dignity and charm — this happy combination stands for Dean Nye, our friend and advisor for three years. If we needed her help, she helped us; if we needed her encouragement, she encouraged us. As Freshmen we admired her; as Sophomores we loved her; as Juniors we worshiped her; as Seniors we missed her. We were happy that she was enjoying her ex- tensive tour of foreign countries, but we certainly missed her pleasing smile, her warm sympathy, her sound advice. One of the magnets that will always draw us back to C. C. will be the incomparable smile of Dean Nye. [ I A new Dean, a new Doctor, a new House Fellow! A truly multiple personality, all in the person of Dean Benedict. She has proven herself the Atlas of our collegiate world. She has had manifold opportunities for the bandaging of limbs, and the picking up of remains, and thus we have grown fond of her professionally as well as socially. It is really quite an efficient system, this centralized au- thority and it is not unappreciated by us who feel that we have found a new advisor, a fine friend, and one whom we wish to welcome as she is worthy of being welcomed. [22] Dr. Lawrence is one of the Faculty to whose person is attached the blue ribbon of collegiate approval. Our attitude towards him is one of smiling respect. Smiling, because we feel he is one of us, and respect, not only for his ability to juggle historical dates from then to now, but also for what he is. Never will we forget his Message from the Cradle , de- livered at A. A. Banquet when he lay the swollen and aching victim of the mumps! A wilted pansy was the sole tribute of the moment, but now we preserve this achievement for the guidance of posterity. May other classes profit, and make use of his indomitability. Dr. Lawrence has pledged himself to the care of the Lan- tern, and so, too, do we pledge ourselves to a life of obeisance and reverence to this member of 1925 who has so nobly ac- quitted himself. [231 ( Margaret Ewing President i n , Constance Parker 1 Constance Parker Vice-President ) E jjy y ,„ . Secretary Persis Hurd Treasurer Janet Aldrich Song Leader Elizabeth Allen Historian Olga Gennert Cheer Leader Nan Apted We did all the things that Freshmen are expected to do. We wore our best clothes Registration Day and smiled impartially at everyone we met. When our advisors urged us with treacherous kindliness to take History 1-2, we, trusting souls, supposed we ' d like to . We looked with wistful eyes upon the jubilant reunion of old classmates and wondered dimly if we ' d ever know anyone well enough to call her by her first name. We stood around awkwardly at the all-college-get-acquainted party and glowed gratefully when Sperry smiled at us. We did our hair in tight bobs and decked it with gay, green bows; we stood aside to let upper classmen pass; but in defiance of all Sophomore law and order we declined to roll up our stockings and therefore suffered duly at the hands of righteously in- dignant Seniors. As the days passed, we began to feel a sort of class con- sciousness. We chose our officers. Even after the Christmas holidays we continued to do the usual Fresh- man thing. In a fever of excitement we bobbed our hair on Saturdays and repented leisurely on Monday mornings. We spoke in hushed voices of Mid years, but managed to struggle through. Then May was upon us with our Pageant in the Quadrangle. Then Finals, and our Freshman year was over [24] President Sara Crawford Vice-President Genevieve Delap Janet Aldrich S y ISara Dodd ( Alice Barrett Treasurer J „ . _ , I Constance Parker ,,. . Dorothy Griswold Historian i m - I Olga Gennert Cheer Leader Nan Apted Song Leader Elizabeth Allen n lrnmnrr f rar Back again as Sophomores! Back with a feehng of intimacy and rela- tionship; never again would we feel the lost sensation of the year before. Before us lay the all-engrossing task of showing our newly-arrived Fresh- men the way that they should go . We held a solemn conclave and our President laid down rules for their guidance, admonishing them to follow the wise paths of their elders. The fall sports were rather disastrous for us, but no one can deny that our Soccer team fought nobly. Our Hockey team carried us to victory over the Freshmen. But Sophomore Hop, our own party, came soon and everyone said they had never heard better music, met better dancers; all the things usually said when one has had a glorious time. At Mid-years we became very serious. But never again would we feel that awful sinking sensation of facing the unknown. We tore up cellars and froze in the snow looking futilely for the Junior Mascot. The Laurels of the Basketball championship were very becoming to us. We faced our coming entrance into the ranks of Upper-classmen with calm serenity. [26] [271 President Margaret Ewing Vice-President Genevieve Delap i Charlotte Lang Secretary j„ . _ , ( Constance Parker Treasurer Idel Godard Historian Olga Gennert Song Leader Elizabeth Allen Cheer Leader Margery Field ( 3lmitor irar We were Juniors ! How long we had looked forward to it, but once achieved our high estate seemed quite a matter of course. We determined that our career should be attended with dignity and renown. First we welcomed our new sisters to our midst, smoothing the pit- falls from their way, and giving them the advice our experience warranted. We witnessed spirited battles on the well-worn Soccer field. Then reluctantly we turned to Mid-years, but weathered them with the assurance which comes of long-suffering. Our Basketball season opened shortly after, and we hoped to maintain our record of the year before. The championship was a tie between our class and 1924 ! We guarded our Mascot feverishly, on damp spring days, snatching it back from the jaws of the enemy. Weary patrol duty, and hours of watch- ing skulking Sophomores were rewarded by keeping Sparkle in the fold. We hung our Lantern above the entrance of New London Hall to help the struggling young idea up the hill of learning. The culmination of the year was Prom. It was glorious, leaving us memories — memories — need we say more? And then, seriously, we faced the fact that we were soon to be Seniors. |28| [29] President Genevieve Delap Janet Aldrich Vice-President ) u i tj • .

How far have we come, Oh Seniors! Being the elders of the College we welcomed the new Faculty, we directed the erring steps of those who were younger, and took ourselves seriously, as all Seniors should. We were beguiled into a spirit of play by the Sophomores, and enjoyed our evening of relaxation. But the occasion brought back the memory of our own youth too poignantly. After much practice, and a hard-fought battle, we beat the valiant Faculty Soccer team, and celebrated with a joyously hilarious banquet. After mid-years, which we approached with fitting nonchalance, our at- tention will be turned to Commencement — the goal of so many ambitions and, in truth, the beginning of so much. There will they sing, Safe now in the Wide, Wide World . May what we have learned on the hill-top help us to march through life as we marched at the beginning of Senior year, seriously, with dignity, and with a feeling of high purpose. [301 Q vb-afiA - ANNA W. ALBREE All of us who know Jackie, know her as one of the most lovable girls who ever came to College. Misguided by the charm of her appearance into thinking her a probable Do- mestic Science or Art prodigy, we were startled when we saw her busy, in an almost profes- sional way, in the Chem. Lab. We aren ' t at all sure we survived the shock of this or of her accomplishing with ease her many Service League duties. Her ingenious ideas and her happy faculty for running dances, made her indispensable to this campus organization. But there you have Jack, a living example of the age-old problem of beauty with evident potentialities for brain fever. These things, along with a spirit of play, and her devotion to the other two of the Three Lone Wolves , constitute Jackie. whom we said before to be one of the most lovable girls we have ever known. C 0,_ - _i JANET ALDRICH Janet has ideals; and what is more she has consistently stood by them through all the storm and stress of college life. Her A pos- ture is expressive of the calm dignity of her life philosophy which she seems to have de- cided upon even so early in the game, Janet is probably one of the best-read girls in the College and this is reflected in her conversa- tion which is stimulating and at times extreme- ly original. She is not at all collegiate and finds office-holding most trying, due to the fact that she is slightly absent-minded about class meetings and other affairs of equal unimport- ance. But on the Hockey field, or in indoor track, Janet is right there every time, carrying oflf blue ribbons amidst gasps of admiration and cheers of approval. To the uninitiated, Janet ' s breathless, innocent way of speaking suggests the acme of naivete ' and unsophistication, but we who know her find beneath this childlike exterior an unusual depth and worth whileness. [32] ELIZABETH ALLEN Elizabeth, Betsy, Cherub, and Pete, are all the same person, and all equally well-known on our College Campus, Perhaps Cherub may have seemed grown up with her coils of brown hair — but how she could lead those songs — how she could bat that baseball — how she could serve as Vice-President of A. A! Betsy may have been rough but just what excite- ment-seeking college girl can quite forget Betsy, the mascot hound who pursued secretive Juniors ! Pete may look like a moon-faced Dutch boy with her straight bobbed hair — but how she can wear her fire boots — how she can hike — how she can train for teams. No matter whether she is Elizabeth, Betsy, Cherub or Pete, she can always smile. Pete lives in Winthrop (she and Parky have non-adjoining singles) but now and again Betsy slips back to her old haunts in North — for a little while. MAE A. AUWOOD The first time we saw Mae, her appear- ance, her dignified manner and her poise made us hesitate to approach her. For this reason Mae is a girl whom few people in College ever really know. The two years that she has lived here with us, she has been at Vinal Cottage, where she has done a great deal more than most people realize, to make it the happy home that it is. We all know that Mae is majoring in Home Economics, and if we ever want to find out how many calories there are in a cer- tain delicious dessert, ask Mae — she always has a ready answer ' . To really understand the depth of Mae ' s character, one has to know her intimately. She may seem quiet and re- served to many of us, yet we see frequent sparks of frivolity in her. Her earnestness combined with a sense of humor, deserves for her the greatest of success and we hope too, that sometime she will have an opportunity to show her ability along the lines of Home Economics. MARIE H. BARKER Mullie the Mysterious ! We admit the best recommendation for that sobriquet is the deUghtful alHteration — yet Mulhe is frequent- ly mysterious. She walks in silence on her own particular paths, be they straight or de- vious, and foolhardy indeed would be anyone who interfered. She is placid as a deep river, but who knows what eddies and whirlpools are underneath? Sometimes she is a chatter- ing, bubbling brook — sometimes as silent as the Sphinx. Mullie ' s roommate tries her best to make her athletic, and she responds nobly in Tennis, in Basketball and Hiking. Yet, we should say that athletic occupation is foreign to her soul ; she would rather spend hours drawing little designs. Oh! The infinite mutability, that is Mullie. - y MARION C. BARNETT Marion ' s stay at C. C. has been sometimes voluntary and sometimes involuntary. Per- haps her change in moods is to consistently follow her Major. We know from her that voluntary and involuntary are sacred psychological terms, for she is a true psych major, even to the extent of denoting all her spare time counting the vast sums of the Psych Club. There is a mischievous light in her eyes which shows a desire for more than studying mental tests — to the movies with Isabel. Marion has an aversion and a diversion. Her aversion — dimples which, unfortunately, she can never efface from her smile. Her diversion — a certain int large cities — for instance New York ! So to use her own favorite sion : Let ' s have a cup of tea! erest in expres- [341 7 S ALICE H. BARRETT Al in one of her lower moods is wont to exclaim. What will it matter a hundred years from now, anyway ! In answer to this de- precatory statement there are several refuta- tions. In the year 2025 it will matter this much. In 1922 there was a girl who wrote a Freshman pageant about the Tudor poet Kit Marlowe. This same Alice became the literary mentor of the college. It matters too, that the founda- tions of Thames Hall were nearly demolished in Alice ' s mad hunt for the Junior mascot. It matters that in contrast she was a most gra- cious hostess for tea, presiding over a table of red china in a candle-lighted room. It matters that her friends always found life exciting because they never knew what she would do next — adopt a kitten; give a round of shampoos; massage an aching head. It matters that C. C. has had some of its best dramatic characterization by her, from the humorous English lawyer in Wurzel-Flummery to the heart-rending nurse in The Dragon and the rhythmically soft voiced woman of The Nativity . CHARLOTTE K. BECKWITH Did you ever meet a brown-eyed, moon- struck elf wandering by the river? Did you ever pass a student wrapped in philosophic haze? Did you ever hear notes of wonder and beauty coming from some music room? Did you ever see a maiden, bloomer-clad, trav- eling rings in the gymnasium? All this is Becky, the illusive ! Sophomore year, by reason of certain So- cialistic pamphlets which crowded her desk she was dubbed radical . Junior year this weak- ness merged into an unholy glee in stolen hours of pleasure, in writing for News and Quarterly, and in electrifying Branford with her passion for Drama. Senior year she achieved the dignity of Editor-in- Chief of the News. And always thus, dreaming and accomplishing, she will sHp out of our lives into others, admired and beloved — but always — the enigma! [35] GRACE BENNET We have telephoned the submarine base and told the commanding otiicer to fire a three-gun salute for Billie Rennet. The first gun, Field of Publication, is Koine. Consider the mute witness of her supreme collegiate endeavor. Her debut into the society of publications. Gun number two, The Dramatic Field. Billie is in a position to inform all striving communities how to foster dramatic art. She could doubt- less regale them with major and minor role anecdotes. We particularly remember her glowing interpretation of the Bare Arm be- tween the Curtains in The Very Naked Boy , and as Phyllis in Operetta. Gun Number three, in persona. Seemingly quiet, but subtly clever, we never find her unaware or unappreciative of even our most feeble efforts, for they are returned two-fold. Pleasant in reception, pleasant in retort — a charm- ing individual. And that is the third gun, but, we are wondering if this final gun isn ' t more like a Roman candle? Sudden, brilliant, ending in a placid shower of glowing sparks. KATHLEEN J. BOYLE We remember Kathleen Freshman year- flying down the hockey field after the elusive ball, and in subsequent years, being on one team or another. Kathleen — shortened to Kat- ty, but not because of her nature — we can never forget as the conscientious President of Black- stone House. Quiet reigns when she is around. Though her major is English she spends a great deal of time in the History De- partment where she is trying to decide her political fate. Her great question is: Shall I be a Democrat or a Republican? We cannot begin to enumerate all her ac- complishments, but we can at least speak of her vocal abihty. She is never happier than when droning with the altos in the Glee Club or practicing for the BENEFIT of her friends. Because of her accomplishments and because of herself. Katty is an all around girl and a mighty fine friend. OLIVE MAY BROOKE Let ' s hike to New Haven! Let ' s hike to Hartford! Let ' s hike anywhere as long as we get somewhere! says Olive when the wan- derlust is on her. Always ready for a new ad- venture, always cheerful, Olive has a deeply- rooted contempt for pessimists. Her philoso- phy might be expressed in the words of the poet : The world is so full of a number of things, I ' m sure we should all be as happy as kings. She has an enthusiasm for many and di- verse things : pink, yellow, and green cultures in the bacteriology lab., week-end trips in Betty B , favorite Profs., a tour of the world, tea with lemon, movies, con- certs, dancing summer camps, a bit of landscape, and even icicle palaces, — for Olive is an imaginative person. We doubted this last until we heard Miss Minerva aver with solemnity, Olive can write. Has this not been proven by her many successful contributions to Quarterly and Koine? HELEN BROWN Brownie is an artist both by nature and preference. In response to our praise and ap- preciation she gives a funny little giggle and murmurs something about its not being good really. Brownie is not a reformer. When they acclaimed her House President of Branford this year she gently demurred in accents low and pleading that she really didn ' t want the role, but that she hated to make a fuss about it. For pugilism does not become Brownie. The fates smiled on Brownie last June when she went blind to Junior Prom. Many girls have indulged in this harmless practice before, but most recover from the temporary sightlessness when the drag has departed — but not so Brownie. Her going blind has resulted in a condition from which she hopes never to recover, and when we ask what she intends to do after graduation we are answered by the inevitable happy giggle, and an expressive twinkle in her very brown eyes. M. 1371 ORPHA BROWN Orpha Ann is one of our most smiling examples of uncollegiate happiness. For when Orpha is forced to race herself around the quadrangle or arise somewhere near midnight to practice for Basketball, she loses the happy quality. But when reading, or writing or sew- ing, or feeding the goldfish the smile has never been known to relax — we have even sneaked up on her — only to find her smiling at herself. The s.ame indomitability has been shown in her assimilation of grades, for Orpha ' s report card is the kind that can be exhibited in the front parlor. Thus for reasons having to do with goldfish, grades, and great dances, we are perfectly willing to have Orpha smile — even at herself. ISABEL W. BULLIS Tea parties ! The weekly box That, for Plantites means Isa- Giggles ! from home ! bel! As a Freshman, Isabel lived at Stearns and even now in her Seniority, her faithful- ness to the home of her college-infancy is not lacking. Won ' t you sing something, Belle? is our constant plea. I don ' t like to with everyone around , is her constant answer. But in spite of her timidity who of us does not know her talents? She can sing and play — in a word Isabel is gifted ! In spite of her Music major, it is said that one year during her Collegiate course, she devoted all her time to Shakespeare and most of all, to the study and contemplations of the char- acter of Juliet. For a time we were baffled, because we could not guess her secret. But now we think that it is because Isabel has in common with Juliet a powerful interest in The House of Montague! THELMA M. BURNHAM How many calories did I eat this noon, Thel? rings down Blackstone Hall, Thelma is not only able to keep her own perfect record, but everyone else ' s as well ! Blackstone is her second home, for she has lived there for four years. The first three years she was hostess at many a gala Tea Party in the big double on the third floor. Al- though her single on the second floor Senior year, was considerably smaller, she was none the less cordial. Words such as neat, business-like, thoughtful, generous and dependable, well de- scribe Thelma. H you want anything im- portant remembered, ask Thel. Then you can allow it to slip your mind rest assured that she will remember it. He r friends all tell you she is as quiet as she seems for there isa great deal of fun and humor behind blue eyes. and not her CATHERINE C. CALHOUN Cay is one among us who has suffered the excrutiating pain of being a House Presi- dent. Because of her quietness, her tactful- ness, and above all her fairness, she has proved that it is possible to hold this office and be very well liked at the same time. But as she has suffered, she has shown again and again splendid qualities which we have ad- mired and for which we are proud to call her Friend. Not only have we recognized her in this capacity, but we have seen with pleasure that her sociological tendencies have gained for her Mrs. Wessel ' s help and encouragement. Cay ' s enthusiasm has taken her into many immigration paths not usually traveled by the undergraduate. She is indeed a true Gibraltar, undiscovered by many, but recognized and respected by those who know her. [39] SARA B. CRAWFORD Sally has always been more or less mete- oric — or luminary — or at least outstanding. Her creative ability has manifested itself in the art room with the clever use of pallet and brush and in the workshop of Dramatic Club, by effective and colorful lightings. As an athlete she is strong and depend- able: she manages Hockey and she plays as well as she manages; on the Basketball floor she is swift and clean; she rides wild and dan- gerous horses and a tumble or two does not discourage her. This year we have worked with her as President of Student Government and we still consider her meteoric. Through all the vicissitudes of College hfe, Sally has kept the heart and buoyant spirit of a happy child. Thus we are not surprised if we are attacked suddenly and playfully, or if we see our friends being pleasantly maltreated — it ' s just Sally letting off steam ! So Sally has worked and played vigorously and she has left behind her the splendid results of four years well and happily spent. ELSA E. DECKLEMAN Elsa is one of the more fortunate mem- bers of our class for she lives in near-by Hart- ford and hers is the joy of frequent week ends. Although this occurs rather frequently, Elsa ' s academic work does not seem to suffer for her standing remains high. Monday morning she is primed and set to discuss economic condi- tions with Daddy Doyle. It is a well-known fact that Elsa has been an ardent follower of collegiate fads and fan- cies, for Junior year she ca me back one day with her hair clipped neatly off to the ears. Her collegiate propensities are also manifested by her enthusiastic sponsoring of A. A., of Press Board, and of History Club. To these three organizations as to her studies, Elsa has brought perseverance, willingness, and a fini well as : spirit. 1401 GENEVIEVE DELAP My dear, it seems so funny to be here over a week-end ! That ' s Gee Gee ! She flies off every Friday, yet her marks continue to stay in the Phi Beta class and her hst of college activities is a long and honorable one. There is the Gee Gee selling doughnuts Fresh- man year and fighting valiantly on the basket- ball team, pigtails agog ! There is the Gee Gee hunting Mascot and playing bridge ! There is the Gee Gee welcoming Freshmen at the sta- tion and guarding the mail door during chapel. There is the Gee Gee, gracious and efficient, leading receiving lines, and as president, lead- ing her class with a brilliance second only to that of the far-famed lantern. There ' s another Gee Gee too, human, lovable, giggling, the veritable life of the party. Sh ! Have you heard? She is known for her ability to make a fish face . -YiXCJl. jj ' ipr jLJu. co jmJI GRACE M. DEMAREST Grace has done her best to dispel the il- lusion of dignity that hovers about her by shearing her crowning glory, but in vain, for it persists. There is nothing aloof about her — it is just an essence that some of us are born with, but most of us are not. In all her ex- ploits in athletics the fates, not frightened by this dignity, dog her path by smashing bones and ruining toes. We were not surprised knowing that Grace majored in French, to see her so gracefully play the role of the courtly noble in Les Bouffons . As ' we watched this Bouffon . wc regretted that Miss Ernst might not in her travels have stopped at Bagdad to borrow the magic carpet of the little lame prince and so whisk herself to the Gym, that she might see how well some oi the characters that she had chosen interpreted their lines — particularly Grace in whom Miss Ernst had always placed so much confidence. 3EM: [41] SARA A. DODD Sally, what do you honestly think of this? No, but, Sally, seriously! Thus would plead some Freshman, Sophomore, perhaps even a Junior, and upon some occasions even a Senior or two, of this member of ' 25 who finds in the living personalities around her a joy and an interest which is unusual. This trait of Sally ' s leads many a fretted soul up three flights of Blackstone stairs to her clois- tered bedroom opening out on the river. But she can be gay — this Sally — and none more so when the mood seizes her. The halls echo to her high sweet laugh and re-echo to a lower note — a kind of chuckle. Tea, bridge, work or talk without her is commonplace and colorless. With a charming patronage Sally stooped to art and conceived designs in rare and gorgeous colors. With equally gracious patronage she misuses the English language — even as did her compatriot and predecessor — Mrs. Mala- prop ! HELEN R. FERGUSON A most industrious person is Fergie. Every time you look for her, she may be found in any one of three places, the Gym, the Library, or the Chem. Lab Can you imagine any hu- man being who has ambition enough to major in Physical Education and to minor in Chemis- try? Yet Fergie has spare time enough to at- tend many gym classes in a day, and she en- joys them all whether she takes the role of pupil or teacher. Throughout her four years here, she has been of very great use to ' 25, because of her athletic ability, good sportsmanship and will- ingness. It will be a long time before we for- get the Senior-Sophomore party to the Freshmen when Fergie took the honors in a tumbling act that would vie with any acrobatic scene we ' d witnessed before. Our pride squirms because what is impossible for us is but in the day ' s work for Fergie ! [42] MARGERY FIELD In every class there are always a chosen few, blest of the Gods, who make us forget that it ' s a grey day on the Hill, or that our mail box has held nothing but emptiness for five days. For the last four years ' 25 has been kept in a breathless state of interest by Mar- gery ' s latest escapades — romantic or other- wise — and by her spontaneous high spirits and laughter. Her sense of the dramatic and her quick wit have so entertained Vinal, Thames and Blackstone in particular and the Campus in general, that we fear C. C. will miss her sadly next year. The only bone of contention about Mar- gery is her birthday. But those who know her all agree that it surely must have been on a Sunday — for — The child that is born on the Sabbath-Day is Blithe and Good and Bonny and Gay — and so is Margery ! Pres.

[431 rX J ' uL. CHARLOTTE FRISCH Charlie, the Freshman, was very much col- legiate . 6 A. M. practice out on the athletic field, late rehearsals for Dramatic club plays, and social activities occupied much of her time. She forsook the athletic for the social, and blue being her favorite color, she forsook Harvard for Yale and spent the majority of her week-ends in New Haven. To her, there was a distinct line between studies and pleas- ure — neither of these ever conflicted. She managed always to draw a happy medium by getting her work well done so that she might tear away for a week-end. Charlie ' s friends have voted her the non- comparable. To them she spells sincerity and a charming personality, with PEP almost second nature where she ' s concerned. Sometimes, the P. O. has complained of excessive mail — you ' ve guessed it — Charlie ' s the recipient and they ' re not all from girls either. LILA GALLUP Lila is a convivial spirit, and one of the rare few who refuse to take life seriously. She never seems in low spirits, and to suspect her of any morbid tendencies would be rank heresy. She treads the narrow path of educa- tion with good will toward her classmates and professors, and malice toward none. Lila ' s many admirers keep her busy an- swering the telephone calls, and accepting invitations which come in bunches. Her various stories of adventure and romance cause us to wonder how she ever combines her academic pursuits with her many social en- gagements. Between weekends Lila plays Hockey, Basket ball and bridge, dabbles successfully in a little art, scratches off some snappy articles for the News, and finding it is Friday again, leaves her Alma Mater for more tempting fields. Her ambition, professionally speaking, is to be a Librarian. In this pursuit we wish her good luck, but secretly we doubt the longevity of such a career. hu, J . ' -TC . i BERYL GELHAAR What shall we say about Beryl? If anybody would like instructions on how to give suc- cessful coffee parties, ask the girls on the first floor of Winthrop, and they will undoubt- edly refer you to Beryl. She can brew coffee, serve it, and entertain her delighted guest all at once, so that she is really more like two persons than one. How much at home every- body feels in Room 104 — Beryl ' s room, which never looks exactly the same, with a new pic- ture here, or a different little ornament there. Beryl ' s uke playing is really a profession, a science, an art ! However the uke is not the only instrument she is interested in. She loves the piano, not to mention numerous new instruments such as the petite Clarionette , and the flexatone. Then to think that she majors in Math! What does this show but that she is one of our more versatile girls? We are glad that she is going to finish her college career at C. C. even though New Jersey College and Columbia have made their claims upon her affections OLGA GENNERT Olga is our highest exponent of scholarship and industrious labor. For four years she has been the wonder and despair of ' 25. With ease and dispatch she conquers assignments which seem to us undoable. To be in a class with her is to realize only too well our own deficiences. Yet in spite of her academic application she seldom misses a dance and Princeton is not too far for her to frequently dash back and forth. As an arbitrator between the warring fac- tions of the History Club, Olga has held a most difficult post for the past two years. We have noted in her, ever since Freshman year, a growing fascination for history and all that goes with it. This tendency has also resulted in her compiUng the history of the class of ' 25. JV IDELL GODARD Idol — an unusually charming combination of the dainty and the capable. She has mul- tifarious duties which she performs conscien- tiously and thoroughly. Yet she manages to preserve the illusion of fragility. She is always busy, always attentive, and infinitely obliging. Under her gentle regime Third Floor Branford is losing its ancient reputation, no longer the haunt of those who seek devious ways. Autre temps, autre moeurs One would not suspect that such an on  would revel in Mathematics — but so it is. The fourth dimension is her second home. She plays with statistics even as she plays Basket-ball. Her versality is amazing. It is well, perhaps, that such good things come in small quantities; were there more of her we should be spoiled. Providence always takes care of that, however, and we love Idell in inverse ratio to her size. JANET GOODRICH Goodie proves to us that athletics and good marks are compatible. We need hardly go into details about the former for whoever has seen her engaged in sports knows that she excels in all of them. Goodie on the basket- ball floor, Goodie on the hockey field, Goodie at soccer. Goodie on the baseball diamond — they ' re all Goodies we ' re proud of. We are perhaps more awed and impressed when she appears in her blue middy to conduct a class. Good marks are good marks — there ' s no use disputing them and, as Dr. Wells says, there is nothing more gratifying than to see a student start, perhaps on an average scale, and then gradually ascend to the heights. i ' ' By her attainments in diverse fields, she has shown us that she is very well-rounded person and because of this we feel sure that she will always meet with as much success as she has here at C. C. [461 IRMA GRAFF Irma ' s main activity when not actually in classes, is catching the car for Norwich from which town she commutes every day. Occa- sionally she does stay on campus for a game of bridge and to those who have come to know her she has revealed herself wonderfully good natured, intensely fond of Math (to which she devotes much time even so far as to neglect her especial hate — Gym.), and keenly interested in mail from New York. Irma is constantly discovering in herself symptoms of this and that, and seems con- tinually surprised to find herself still hale, hearty and very much able to get around. Irma reads a great deal, and her list includes many books of learning as well as romances. EDNA HAAS If you want to do a thing, do it, says Edna, and when she makes a decision, we may as well consider it done already. She wants to play Hockey and Soccer, to swim, skate, dive and toboggan, so she swims the trudgeon, kicks the ball and has made two hockey goals within ten minutes for good measure. She goes down the toboggan bellyfiop and then hurries back to send out a special Press Board article. Edna likes the commonplace, but she also likes things that are different. A week-end trip at a minute ' s notice, toasted cheese at weird hours, and Child Psych, papers written at five A. M. are twice as much fun. Even a Golden Eaglet, presented at Chapel with Prexy ' s praises, is more exciting if one doesn ' t know that it is coming. Nevertheless, as all that glitters is not gold we may be sure that Edna would say, All that is exciting i not fun , for to attain her high ideals is what Edna really wants most. [471 ELEANOR HARRIMAN SP I Eleanor is collegiate. No doubt this startling statement to some, but we mean the word in its most desirable sense. No basket- ball game would be complete without her, waving her hands in the air, and yelling until her vocal chords are completely exhausted. In a more dignified way, she loyally supports Chapel, Vespers, and moonlight sings. Such is her linguistic ability, that she didn ' t know which language to major in. Europe certainly ought to be impressed, and as for her knowledge of Pl ato and Socrates — we are frankly jealous. For four years Eleanor has quietly, but efficiently performed many duties and held many offices, finishing with the all important duty of Chairman of Commencement. With her curly hair, and her stunning what the college-girl will wear clothes, she is an exhibit A at any time and is the envy of those who have not that fortunate faculty for always looking as though they have just stepped out of a band-box . GLADYS L. HARRIS At first Gladys was a mystery. Perhaps it is a little hard to get to know her as she is. but to the few elect to whom she does reveal her inner self comes a great realization of the true worth of this dreaming, aspiring girl, who has tranquilly dwelt among us these four years, ever hitching her wagon to a star. Shakespeare, Tennyson, Browning and Haz- litt (for she is an English major) have found an echo in her as she thirstily drinks in great thoughts. But the earnest, eager student is only one side of her nature; she can fill equally well the role of sympathetic, understanding friend. Then, too, we all know the Gladys of the baseball diamond, and the whose voice makes the echoes resound with joyous song . Gladys |4S| HELEN HEWETT If Helen of Ancient Troy could look down upon her modern namesake, she would have cause to be well pleased with our Helen of Troy, New York. For four years she has graced our campus, the epitome of poise and good taste, lending an air of color and refinement to all that she does. Her serenity and calm dignity distinguish her among the breathless, raving four hundred and forty-nine and pro- claim her une femme d u monde. As a Freshman Hewey was very shy though behind that mask of reserve she was busily scheming and planning things. In her Junior year she came out and we began to see the result of three years ' silence. Dining every night in town, dancing, driving — Hewey had entered the social swirl. Nor did she restrict her activities to New London, but went abroad to proms and college festivities with the greatest success. As a Senior she seems content to stay at school, awaiting the mails, and having observed this tendency in others, we conjecture but one thing. 7 AMY D. HUBBAR We wonder why Amy was so good in Hy- giene: was it the Hygienic atmosphere of Dr. Todd ' s where she lived during her first year at C. C? Slowly she approached campus, for as a Sophomore and as a Junior, she resided at Vinal where she became famous from Dart- mouth to Annapolis for her lucious fudge. From experience, we may say that Amy ' s cupboard will never be in the same condition as that of her well-known name-sake, for cooking is one of Amy ' s specialties. When a Senior, she moved up to Plant House where her interests became more wide-spread; they now extend from Cooking to Chemistry and from Chemistry to Physiology, But the merry little twinkle in Amy ' s eye and that keen sense of humor which so often bursts forth, make us wonder if she is quite as serious as her study of the sciences would lead us to believe. ,.OV vA _X.-. ' : OLIVE W. HULBERT The fall of 1921 brought a lone tall Fresh- man to the wilds of a Sophomore-populated Thames Hall — Olive Woodward Hulbert — to become th e scion of all the orchestras, the globe-trotter of the College, and incidentally, the leader in French circles. Her life has been one of rehearsals, committees, Friday evening dinners in town, railroad tickets, and IJHHI V M a bookcase from which one might learn much. m m Senior year found Olive established in a V k r 1 room adequately proportioned to hold her many K jKf H treasures — the first sizable domicile of her College career. It was Palm Beach this Christ- mas vacation. And, when she returned to the frigid chmate of cold, bleak New England, added to the bobbed hair, there was a coat of tan that bespoke sun to the shivering multitudes, and made them doubly envious of the second journey South. Life was not all frivolity, however, as the academic well proves ; a well balanced outlook for the minis- try. Whatever the chosen field, Wardie, a ll success to you, and a Bon Voyage. PHYLLIS JAYME Phil is one of the original members of the group known as the Sarah Jane, Hewey, Brownie, Eddie combination. These five or- ganized in the fall of ' 21 under the shelter of Thatcher House, pledged eternal faith and resolved never to part. Phyllis is the most amiable of companions and refuses to lose her temper in spite of the influence of two red-headed members. She is as oil on troubled waters, always busily trying to keep peace among artistic auburn haired companions. Furthermore, she is a most accomplished Span- ish student — it is probably in the blood, for her brown eyes, black hair and olive skin hint of some Latin ancestry. Phil is the essence of neatness and order at her room fills the observer with awe and admiration for that which is only second nature. one glimpse to Phil [50] The fact that Jessie is small has not hindered her accomplishments. Her enthusiasm and pep along with her athletic abilities have earned for her the A. A. Insignia. Can anyone forget Jess in her red sweater and cap chasing Dr. Leib down the field in the Faculty-Senior Soccer game! Jess is safe and dependable when there is something to be done. Her possessions are everybody ' s. Many a future Upper Classman will remember Jess ' motherly instinct and guiding spirit in leading her through the stormy period of Freshman year. Her majoring in Math, is hardly compatible with her tendencies toward social service. We expect to see her at the head of a settlement house somewhere in New York in the near future. MHH H Wm hh h I E 4 |V 1 Wr • J| H Hi Hi ELINOR H. KELLY K stands for Kelly and more than that — for the remarkable ability for blending mathe- matics with a feminine nature. We say she really doesn ' t look the type. Meaning that Kay is not a grind but she always comes out on top. We have often heard her say, I don ' t know a thing, but she invariably im- parts to us choice bits of information. But Kay can forget her infiniters and fourth dimension and be equally enthusiastic in Basketball, Hockey, Soccer, bridge and danc- ing. In all of these she has won laurels. Kay has a smile that has won many friends, and a jolly twinkle in her eye that reveals a keen sense of humor. She has above and beyond these characteristics a congenial spirit which is the delight of her many friends. (51) wisdom and much sense; DOROTHY KILBOURNE Do you remember how surprised Alice was when the white rabbit pulled his watch out of his pocket and began discoursing on the fate of his whiskers if he were late to the Duchess ' party? We are not comparing Dottie to a white rabbit — but have you ever seen her standing with a questioning look on her face and her hands in the position always taken by bunnies in the fairy stories? Moreover, when you really know her you are just as sur- prised at her wisdom as Alice was at the White Rabbit ' s ability to have a watch and a pocket to put it in. Quiet, retiring, but not shy, of penetrating she is a source of amusement and wonder. She is deft with a Soccer ball, one of the props of the French Club, and a wonder- ful friend. .- X DELE KNECHT Adele comes from New Haven and summers in the country, so the masculine element i?, not entirely missing from her life. The for- mer means — well you know what living in New Haven is — and the latter means trips to the lake, canoeing, and dancing. Candy, too, plays an important part in her life. There are always cards, moreover, to while away spare minutes if there are such things at col- lege; we know that there are at home. Adele always welcomes a game of bridge, and once she has started to play it is so hard for her to cease. Let ' s have just one more hand! We must not let this mislead us into believing that Adele slights her work for, on the contrary, she is conscientious and punctual with her prose papers — gems of neatness and precision. Armed with an English major, a love of bridge and candy, Adele is set for a successful career. [52] CHARLOTTE LANG Charlotte is the person who introduced Jo to Connecticut, and for this act we have al- ready dedicated one life size bust in our own Hall of Fame. She is to us a true Jo Effici- ency , Jo Poise , Jo Talker and Jo Friend ; in fact a whole group of the better Joes . Thus we admit to a feeling of real pride where Charlotte is concerned. We exhibit her almost unmercifully, and do not cease until all the relatives, once, twice and thrice removed have met her. As exhibitions go she is again among the better . She responds with facts we didn ' t know were facts, pleasantries and a feeling of joy to which the infants, youths and adults succumb and respond. To use her own expression, she is a girl who does things — in the art room, on Soccer field and in all with equal grace. STELLA LEVINE Stell is a mystery to many, for her real self is shown only to her very dear friends. Because of her great ability in her studies, her quiet air, and tendency to wander off in the land of dreams, her classmates have not come to know her as she really is. At heart, Stell is very humorous and often delights us by a quick change from the serious to the whimsi- cal. In her Senior year, she seemed to change. Stell then made friends in the suite in Bran- ford and with them considered study and play. Very frequently a cheery coming is heard down the corridors, as Stell rushes to answer the long distance calls, telegrams, and specials. As for letters, well, she might employ a secretary to take charge. To turn to her scholastic prowess — although an English major she has also completed a major in German. The last two years Stell has been busy with Press Board, German Club, of which she is the secretary, and the Senior Tennis team. ' _J? : ©eRTRW©E M. LOCKE Why should a maiden with such a very seri- ous demeanor rejoice in the famiUar name of Giddy ? Listen to her talk, I beg. She leaps from one conversational peak to the other as our Alpine friend the Ibex jumps from summit to summit. She is a bubbling source of amusement to herself and her friends. Yet she is a conscientious damsel — never known to slight a task. In fact she rather enjoys dashing about in an important manner with the cares of the world on her shoulders. Being a History major she can always illus- trate her narratives from the annals of the past. We could really have never understood government without her fervid descriptions of the excellent organization of the city of Newton. Sometimes she is a bit involved — but she will have her say. By natural bent and en- thusiasm this History major is an athletic fiend! And so we have her; sweet- tempered, loyal, capricious, sturdy, determined — Giddy. I ' o VIRGINIA LUTZENKIRKEN We disproved Pone ' s conception of Eastern hospitality by welcoming her, in our Sopho- more year, with open arms into the C. C. fold. Co-ed life at Northwestern evidently held no charms for her, as she was completely won over by her new Alma Mater. Junior year brought her to Branford, where she united forces with Titter. Here, we really began to know her, since she established a reputation for coaxing the ivories . With the first sign of cold weather, out come Pone ' s goloshes, much to the merriment of her friends, and out they stay until the first robin appears. Pone possesses a nature that inclines toward the romantic — she even carries it out so far as to major in Romance Languages. We feel that after Pone returns to her Chicago home, her thoughts will not be rooted there, but frequently will turn eastward. [54] i mM (iMAJU i t U. J iO = NNIE AflKS MfcC 5J ' MBS Parkie knows everyone, including the Fac- ulty ! Their feet have worn the grass quite off by the bookstore window where they have stood, chatting with her. A Southern speech, a Northern enthusiasm, a rollicking good hu- mour all combine to turn their professional hearts. Parkie is a wiry athlete. There is never a season that she doesn ' t make a team. With a hectic hockey stick, she slammed her way to Varsity Sophomore year. Enthusiastically she tests every bump in the amphitheater on her skiis. A business head sends her managing the bookstore and Koine with equal success. A business head on athletic legs sends her lightly jumping in through the bookstore window to meet astonished salesmen. A staunch member of ' 25, Parkie dabbles in verse for Betsy ' s tunes and shows unlimited energy outwitting her rivals at mascot time. JEANETTE McCRODDEN Jeanette is a trifle absent-minded. She admits it herself. After sitting with a far away and rapt expression on her face for five min- utes, she will make some apropos remark about the conversation of the previous hour. The preoccupation is not a ruse to escape unpleasant tasks. If some phase of a con- troversy appeals to her she will follow it to the bitter end, despite the digressions of others. This persistence is carried over to the field of athletics and she pursues a hockey or a soccer ball with unwavering intensity. On rainy days last Spring, Jeanette transferred her hurdling to the corridor in Branford. And so we know her — absent-minded, careless, procrastinating, yet con- scientious, and withal, lovable. [55] The ins After the Montreal ELLEN McGRATH Four years ago, ElUe, a shy and timid maid- en, came to C. C. Every morning she and the inseparable running-mate Jane, sped up the hill with ten minutes in which to cover two miles. How they did it, no one knows. i,t surely was good practice for the hiking class which Ellie now faithfully attends. It is not an unusual thing to hear her on Friday afternoon burst forth with Homeward Bound, kids. Be back Monday or Tuesday. When she is on campus, college is one course after another with Dr. Wells. However, when some friendly voice asks, How about the movies? , her ready reply is Sure, I ' ll go. eperables chose a summer school on the shores of Lake Champlain. strenuous academic duties, there was one last fling, a short trip to All too soon the six weeks had gone, and with them her shyness. CATHERINE MEINECKE e Monk or Monkie, as some call her, came fo Connecticut from Sweet Briar, just in time to get in on Upperclassmen privileges. The Monk is wise. But we couldn ' t have imagined her here before that. Not for any unwanted reasons, but simply because fraternity pins and seven-thirty campus rules aren ' t compati- ble. But we are glad that she came for the best half of her collegiate career. Such people add zest to the maidenly pursuit of the other four hundred. Then too, vie have always liked the big white comb which comes out on state occasions. We could use this as a legacy. Otherwise our time is given over to predicting things for Kay, and we secretly feel that she will be one of the first of 1925 to permanently settle down. We should hate to have her ability in Domestic Science go unappreciated ! MARGARET MEREDITH Peg always looks as neat as the proverbial pin and always knows the advance styles. What is more she makes her own clothes with a technique and speed at which we less lucky mortals born with ten thumbs, can only gasp in admiration. Making hats and dresses is a simple matter for Peg, but then, too, not all of us have that svelte figure which lends itself so well to wearing clothes with that indescrib- able distinction. Peg is given to argument and were it not in the books that she is from New Jersey we would say at a guess that she comes from Missouri. Much to everyone ' s surprise Peg plays Basketball, and comes thru a game with every hair in place, and tie staying docilely where it was first put. We cannot imagine Peg looking disheveled, and perhaps this exterior is indicative of those precise and ac- curate qualities which make her such a star at secretarial work. In this field she is planning to make her career, but knowing the inside story, we doubt if she will stick to a profession for long — her domestic talents would be quite wasted, and are too much appreciated elsewhere ! DORA MILENKY Dora has always seemed to those of us who are interested in Physical phenomena, a strik- ing illustration of the concentration of great potential energy in an amazingly small volume. This potentiality has already evidenced itself in a capacity to speak and write French with the nonchalance of a Parisian, to discourse fluently upon an original system of philosophy, and to refer casually to the theories of So- crates, Euripides, Quintillian and many other I _ jij classic writers. -But why limit Dora ' s prowess 1 Kaj to these realms? She has indeed an uncanny ■■■ ■ ■ ■e:- J ability to amass a whole series of A ' s , that Ultima Thule of the collegian ' s desires. Fain would we unitiated learn the secret of it! Only for three hours a week is her human frailty borne in upon us, for Dora has a constitutional antagonism for all gymnastic activities. i jr: ' ' ' ' ' because sum up she is a they Jane- good JANE NEVERS Jane has laughing brown eyes which register an innocent look of surprise and astonishment when she is asked if she was the originator of some prank. This is Jane. Are you going over to dinner Jane? No, I ' m going out to- night. Lessons, yes, but they can come later. Do not think that Jane neglects them. No, Ml indeed, for she is a Math. Major. But even I Math did not prevent her from entering the I bobbed-hair ranks. She always looks back I upon this act as a painful event in her career. 1 But we must not forget her running-mate, •a Ellie. Is this Jane or Ellie? they ask. Why is it one cannot tell them apart? Perhaps it is are such inseparable pals and such mighty good friends. To —she is always ready for a good time; she is happy-go-lucky: sport. HELEN NICHOLS With the passing of the sign language into obsolescence, and the rise of a vocal method of communication, words have become the fa- vorite medium of expression. Thus we use tvords to characterise those about us — and in connection with Helen, we prefer the word eager. For she is indeed one of our greatest enthusiasts about the trend of Life, and the activities of civilization. Her eyes are always wide open with wonder and interest at the Great Process, and she is not easily satisfied. Thus we repeat our word, Eager. There is no special field of eagerness, but Art and Man seem to be at the top of things. Noisy buz- zers and splotches of paint, being equally profuse, we feel free to commit ourselves — and Helen. Thus eagerness in all things is to us her outstanding characteristic and we ask you what could be better? [58] GERTRUDE NOYES Gertrude is one of those individuals who lend themselves well to eulogy. We look at her report card, faint perhaps, but when re- vived, do not cease to hold up all ten of the digits and whisper A , in tones both hushed and awed. Thinking this collection a sufficient accomplishment for ten collegians, we happen upon her as she toys with the piano. Being experienced we do not faint, but admit to an additional feeling of awe, as she nonchalantly renders a beautiful Scherzo with the technique and feehng of Hofmann. Nor is her technique limited to the fields of intellect and music — she v ields a wicked basket-ball with the same ease and precision which characterize her other many accompUshments. and hang Co with puns CONSTANCE PARKER Few people really know and understand Connie. She says so herself! But if we do not understand her, we do appreciate and en- joy her. Connie with her oft-bespoken New England conscience and efficiency has done much and done it well. In Freshman year, she stepped into the breach and brought us safely through to that exalted state of being Sophomores. With that for a start Connie has gone on doing more for the class and college every year. Quietly, earnestly she pro- ceeds on her way, pleasant to all, unkind to none. Connie ' s ability as a dogger is renowned many will remember her in the checked trousers and red coat, arms ing loosely, feet stepping a rythmic patter to the tune of Raggedy Ann , nnie has loaned her strength to the hockey field and basketball floor, prowess exceeded only by her ability to enliven any conversation with and breaks which bespeak her girhsh innocence and naivete. rs9i From which phant DOROTHY C. PERRY We secretly suspect that Jo is the model for all the Prom Girl magazine covers. Hers is that striking beauty which causes so many auto fatalities every year. Every once in awhile she stays on campus for four or five days at a time but divides the rest of her time at Proms and other activities in institutions where the sterner sex hold sway. Jo has a characteristic giggle which she used to advantage as the demure Chinese maiden in The Poppy Trail. She sings, too, and having loyally supported the Glee Club, lo these many years, her faithfulness was rcAvarded by an election to the presidency of that organization, this it was but one step to a leading part in The Bells of Beaujolais , in role we feel sure that Jo will bring a successful four years to a trium- close. SARAH JANE PORTER Sarah Jane typifies that vanishing art of domesticity. This quality which is gradually becoming extinct along with skirts and chaper- ones, is highly developed in our devotee of the institution called the Home. She is very par- ticular about her name which has remained unaltered — not Sallie, or Jane or Sal or any other variation — but Sarah Jane in its entirety. Her voice is a unique and disturbing feature, for you never know whether she is going to dissolve into subdued weeping, or whether she will pass it off with a barely audible gurgle. It all depends upon her mood which is as variable a feature as the weather and just as unreliable. In spite of her fickle moodiness she is a consistent friend, her companions of Freshman year are still her intimates — a condition common among the collegians, who love not wisely though diversely. for not [601 ADELE ROOS We hate to speak or write in terms of enig- mas, but collegiately speaking Dedo is the mystery child of ' 25. We have never knov rn a great deal about her, but occasional glimpses of her small self completely hidden by great piles of books and papers, or now and then Tea for Two , along with a charming hospi- tality, have given us clues, which when followed up proved her to be delightful, friendly and very worthwhile, She is one of the girls who corresponds, and therefore spends long hours in seclusion. One of the fairer flowers who blush unseen, but so pleasantly that we would feel it our loss had she not blushed with us — on our hill-top.

[61] WINIFRED SMITH Winifred is not one of whom it is easy to say she is this, or she is that. There are so many things about her which might be this, or that, that it is difficult to pick out the big thing. She is a true believer in democracy — loves stray kittens, puppies, and babies with equal intensity. Her response to the open road, picnics, and pickles, gave her the name of Gyp , which, being brunette by nature, was not amiss. And in addition to all the kittens and open roads, Winifred is most considerate of her friends, and has even been known to travel in the direction of the Infirmary at Midnight, when their interests were concerned. Thus with the additional mention of her love for such nice things as old brasses, we leave her before you, not a puzzle, but a number of nice qualities in one individual. SUSANNE STOLZENBERG Sue really made her first big impression on the College body in her Sophomore year when as heroine of the German play she displayed amazing dramatic talent which she had hither- to concealed from her friends. Since then she has been in the limelight continually. Her specialty act is shooting baskets in which art she excells so greatly as to have made the varsity. She manages as well as she plays, be it the game or the business of some organiza- tion which demands her attention. For the last three years Sue has had particu- lar inspiration to shine in all she does, and we were not surprised this year when the beauti- v , a, ful diamond and announcement cards appeared. In spite of some Faculty suggestion to the contrary, we are amazed at the way in which Sire with only half her thoughts here can maintain a good average in the academic line, and fill all her outside duties with equal efficiency. I 62 I ALICE TAYLOR Quiet? Well, we used to think so but we changed our minds ! From a meek and mild little Freshman with long hair, trustful eyes, and a gullible mind, Alice changed to a bobbed- haired Senior with laughing eyes, a teasing smile, and a line that would make the Blarney stone lose its reputation. Some say that it was West Point that wrought the miracle, but others think her roommate did it ( for she had the same one all four years ! Speaks well for Alice ' s disposition). Oh, Alice, have you heard the latest gos- sip? About Nellie Nozit? Yes, I wrote it all up for ' The Dainty Tid-bits ' last night. Alice always knows everything. If you make the hockey team, keep it dark, or your home-town will hear of it before you do. It ' s a different matter, how- ever, when Alice makes the riflery team, for her inherent modesty keeps her from mentioning the fact. With complete confidence in her and in her news sense we ' ll not be surprised to see her some day behind an editor ' s desk. CHARLOTTE TRACY Anyone might well envy Chickie her execu- tive ability and her inborn knack of running things. She is efficiency personified; and as ' 25 well knows, when it thinks back to Mascot Hunt, she has a tireless fund of nervous energy. Early in her College career Chick began her continued and successful work on the News, first as Assistant Managing Editor, then as Managing Editor. Junior year as Treasurer of Student Government she counted pennies and kept accounts. In the summer of that year Chick traveled to the green shores of Lake George as a Silver Bay delegate. She returned to C. C. a dignified Senior to guide a houseful of gay young Freshmen along the paths that they should go. So ' 25, having confidence in Chick ' s athletic prowess, in her active mind, and in her adaptability, wishes her luck and success on the way. Uj r - f - -. sgtS.. ■ ELEANOR TRACY Eleanor is one of the kind hearted Seniors who cannot do too much for tired and per- plexed friends, whether they be classmates or underlings (?). Her life lies along lines of loyal friendship to those who need her help. And she is sympathetic in all matters of suffering — except Physical Ed — ! But then a line must be drawn somewhere. Her avocation is of a musical nature, with a special gift for the singing of original and spontaneous songs — . As to the value of this gift there are many opinions but it continues as a form of amusement — if not a pleasant one, and it serves to cheer those who need it, thus we call it a blessing — . For it is a truly great gift to be understanding and helpful when the nags of life are a bit too hard — as they often are for even the best of men. MARIAN WALP Sedately Marian came to our College on the hill. She is quiet but underneath that quiei there lies a bit of mischief and fun. Her chief occupation is reading and when one wonders what she is doing, she is only reading for the joy of it. Few of us have time for this but Marian always has the habit of having her work done almost before it is assigned. Dr. Well ' s papers hold no terrors for her and in no time at all, she has finished and is ready for her pleasure reading. Marian is exceedingly fond of the Library, more so than any of the rest of us and she is known for her dignity as librarian and for her interest in that work. She ought to make good in anything she attempts for she is always on time ; she is systematic about her work, and she knows when and where to play. _ [641 GRACE L. WARD Spud or Bugs has delighted and bewitched the Campus for so many moons that when she goes she will leave greyness. Her Peter Pan complex, her uncanny flashes of wisdom, her Welsh wit, and her simple joy in existence have flavored and sweetened C. C. and all its activities. From the earliest of her days until the latest Grace Llewyn Ward has done her bit for College. She is always making one team or another — one friend or another ! Sopho- more year she ardently stalked the elusive Red Worm to its questionable lair. Junior year she all but built and furnished the Hut — the pride and joy of A. A. And in this same year she developed ce matic powers, dormant since a Bragaw party, in the role of the male Johnny White. Senior year she presided with boyish aplomb and poise over the fluctuating fortunes of A. A. Here ' s luck for the job, Spuddy ! rtain dra- flapper — dignified EMILY WARNER There are those whom many people like — passively. There are a few whom many people like — actively. Em is one of the rarer souls who are actively likeable. We have al- ways admired Em, and we have admired her for many things. She has gone into sports and won; she plays Basketball with grace and steadiness; she kicks a wicked Soccer ball and I K|flH| H still respects the Faculty! She has acted and M H been applauded : who is there who does not H K L remember the young brother of Comedy H I I H or Joseph of the Nativity . She has proved herself to be an able and popular as well as charming President of Service League. But these things are among the obvious — other people can do them. For greatest of all, Susie is an individual, she has principles and she abides by them. She knows what she thinks, and she acts consistently. [65] UA ' DOROTHY WIGMORE Towards Dot we have that feeling usually characterized by the bowed head and the bent back — tor she knows all the most intimate facts about all the boys who flourished back in 76 B. C, and before, and after. As a mere babe she played with the words of Caesar and Cicero and now her knowledge passes human limits — are there those whose backs do not bend? Aside from these interests in the past, Dot spends her time managing the business of the News, eating prodigious amounts of lemon in her tea, cultivating her voice, and calming the first floor of Plant; a busy life for one whose thoughts are abroad. Thus not only because Dot knows things, but because she does things, too, do we bow, when her path crosses ours.

Dear Alma Mater by the sea. We, the class of 1926, make up in loyalty and enthusiasm for C. C, what we are unable to give to her in numbers. We have large dreams, large hopes and large ideals. Our dreams hold memories of the first two happy years of College which brought us, a bit surprised and considerably elated, to the lofty estate of Upperclassmen. They recall our delight in first meeting our Freshmen sisters, they picture subsequent exciting scenes on the Hockey field, they remind us pleasantly that mid-years are over, and then they hope- fully pass on to future scenes. The Junior-Senior luncheon is an event long anticipated, our Junior ban- quet and the mascot hunt with all the attendant thrills and fun are coming in March. The basket-ball season offers us opportunities to win new laurels and finally with May arrives our Junior Prom. On June 16th Commencement brings to us the new responsibilities and privileges of seniors and we enter our last year at C. C. with larger dreams and hopes and ideals than ever be- fore in our hearts.

C, we, the class of 1927, find ourselves at that second, longed-for period of our collegiate evolution, known as Sopho- more year. With justifiable pride we recall the events of the first trying, yet joyful period in which we, as freshmen, displayed in some measure, what we possessed of skill, of sportsmanship, and of intelligence. We entered into sports with all our youthful vigor and enthusiasm, and we proved ourselves most formidable opponents in soccer, basketball, and track. We struggled valiantly to overcome the difficulties of college courses. And we hesitated not to add our quota of cleverness to frolics and entertainments. Especially did we uncover our talents and display our artistry in our gipsy pageant, pre- sented Freshman Day. Now we have returned as Sophomores, with a feeling that we belong here, that we have made a place for ourselves at C. C. Our first duty in our new estate was to discipline unruly Freshmen and to direct their footsteps aright. This we did, hiding beneath stern and dignified exteriors a spirit of fun. Then came Hop, our first real social event, given in honor of our sisters, the class of 1925. Now we are eagerly looking forward to the basket- ball season and to the traditional mascot hunt. In each of these events, as in everything we undertake, we intend to concentrate all our 1927 vigor, and to pull together for excellence. 7: r75i iFrFBhman OIlaHa Cheer Leader President Dorothy Bayley Vice-President Sarah Brown Secretary Henrietta Owens _ Frances Huhng Treasurer i ., , ., .

We now have an Alumnae body of 405 members; our ex-members are not a few, and are loyal supporters. It is with great joy that we realize that in strength of numbers we can compare with others and not unfavorably ! We can already boast of members in 27 states of this country and in 7 foreign countries (one of whom is Ruth Trail, ' 19, who began work this year in Alaska Agricultural College, Fairbanks, Alaska). Already 150 of our Alumnae have done further study, and to the list of those who have completed study for de- grees we would add the names of: Marenda Prentis C. C. 19, M.A. 1923 Yale. Ruth Anderson C. C. ' 19, D.O. 1923 Chicago College Osteopathy. Mary Hester C. C. ' 20, M.A. 1924 Columbia. Margaret Milligan C. C. ' 20, M. D. 1924 Women ' s Medical, Philadelphia. Rose Meyrowitz C. C. ' 21, M.A. 1924 Yale, We refrain from cataloguing further Alumnae achievements — precosity is unbecoming at less than six years of age — though we cannot close without mentioning the fact that we have 37 little nieces and nephews. The organization of Chapters, the founding of an Alumnae Day, the es- tablishment of a Bulletin, the slowly, but surely, increasing fund for Sykes Memorial; these are indications of comradeship and loyalty formulated in undergraduate days which have carried through and colored our thought and effort. With the new strength and spirit of each graduating class added to our organization we feel confident that we may always sing truly : ... friendships prove that college years,. . . .

And thus in manifold service we will render our Alma Mater greater, worthier, and more beautiful. It is this, modeled after an Athenian oath which epitomizes our Student Government. By it we endeavor to order our lives while we are students at Connecticut College. Our College and Associations are being recognized for their worth among our contemporaries. At the conference of the Woman ' s Intercollegiate Association for Student Government held at Vassar last No- vember, we were asked to lead one of four discussion groups, and further- more we were elected to the position of Secretary of the Association for the ensuing year. A new step in our government this year was the institution of counselors, members of council to whom offenders of the rules can tell all their side of the story, and who will act as intermediaries for such students at council meetings. - i rr-A i-A l [85] SERVICE LEACVE President Emily Warner Vice-President Helen Farnsworth Secretary Florence Hopper Treasurer Elizabeth Linsley Chairman International Committee Entertainment Committee: Adeline Muirhead, Chairman; Dorothy Perry, Madelyn Smith, Jean Howard, Lucy Norris.

The Service League is an organization whose aim is to unite its mem- bers by bonds of friendship and loyalty, and to inspire them to give their sympathy, and to dedicate their services to the advancement of College in- terests. Community Welfare, and National and International Causes destined to benefit humanity, The active functions of this ideal fall into three di- visions — work on Campus, in New London, and abroad. The College work is taken care of by numerous departments in the League. The Sunshine Committee keeps the Infirmary cheery with flowers and a glad word frequently. For Chapel and Vesper Services flowers are also sup- plied by this group. The Maids Committee is the donor of gifts to the maids at Christmas time. The Lost and Found is the clearing house for misplaced belongings. The Entertainment Committee plans informal Saturday night dances throughout the College year. In February its biggest effort is expended with the annual Tea Dance, which is an all-College affair. Probably the most delightful Community work of the Service League is that in connection with Charter House. It is our own project, and we take a very real part in its maintenance. This year we have been opening it four afternoons a week to public school children who come there for reading, music and mass games after school. Since this work started in January, 1924. the equipment has increased in every way, and the number of children attending regularly has grown considerably. Service League places girls in Y. W. C. A. work leading Girl Reserve Clubs, also. At Thanksgiving time the Associated Charities give to the League a list of those families who are in need of help and baskets of food are sent to them. Activity apart from New London is found in the Student Friendship Drive, sending a Christmas box of toys to Caney Creek in Kentucky, dolls to Christadora House in New York, and fostering an interest in the Silver Bay, and other conferences of National and International interest. While not under the control of the Service League, Junior Month ac- tivities correspond more nearly to those of this organization than to any others in College. There is no affiliation, however, and the representative may or may not be in direct touch with Service League. In its essence Junior Month is a fellowship offered by a Board member of the Charity Organiza- tion Society of New York to each of twelve Eastern Colleges. The purpose is to study social conditions, as seen and to relate the actual with the theory which the student acquires in her regular college course. The girls live in New York at the Finch School and no personal expense is incurred. The Junior who goes from each of these Colleges brings back a great deal to her contemporaries, and is herself tired with enthusiasm to go on with social work. The director of Junior Month expressed the aim of that activity in the following words : We endeavor to give the students a balanced notion of social work. They must see that it is not to be handled from a purely senti- mental viewpoint, nor yet from one that is coldly scientific. Every case that presents itself must be dealt with rationally and must be studied as a human problem. [87] Connecticut COLLEGE Mi i ' tlupr Ian As the Silver Bay dock comes into the full view of the crowded boat decks, there is a hushed silence, then an awed exclamation Silver Bay. A hustling and jostling of bags and people — a gang plank to be crossed and there you are ! After getting your card with its gold or silver star, you settle in your two-by-four room and draw a sigh of content. To be really at Silver Bay! Getting organized is at first one big rush ; meeting old friends and mak- ing new ones from all over the globe; attending meetings of all sorts from big ones in the Auditorium where inspiring speakers hold forth, to smaller groups where there is a general discussion of campus and international prob- lems, difficulties and successes; enjoying delegation meetings and evening vespers — the latter in spite of insistent and noisy mosquitoes. Athletics of every kind form a part of Silver Bay ' s crowded program, and in these Connecticut College girls are no laggards. One can hear about thrills and experience a second hand thrill from the hearing, but it is only from the actual experience of Silver Bay that one can get the full inspiration to follow the gleam . =?rsY 1 rs8] ATHLETICS A.

HOCKEY Hockey took the place of soccer as a Major sport this last fall, and every hour of the day the click of stick against stick and ball against stick could be heard ringing out in the clear October air. The Freshmen with startling precosity vanquished one team after another and carried off the champion- ship after many thrilling moments of play. FACULTY-SENIOR GAME This annual onslaught was unusually interesting this year because neither Seniors nor Faculty had had much practice and the chances were about even. Dr. Leib, supported by the famous faculty eleven, played his usual swift game, getting in some unique foot-work not explained by mathematics. But the doughty seniors were too quick for our more learned friends, and suc- ceeded in crashing through for two goals, and in keeping the faculty from scoring at all. laHkrtball Board of Managers Chairman Sue Stolzenberg Ex-Officio Grace Ward Senior Manager . . .

The games held their usual thrills added to which was the mirth caused by the game between the Campus Players and North-Cottagers, and that of the Faculty versus the Blackstone non-professionals. The latter was played sans rules and regulations and refereed by an extremely partial and lenient Faculty member.

C, brings up a vision of girls hiking, cooking meals over an open tire, singing around the dying embers, skating or sliding when winter permits, or going off to spend the night under some friend- ly tree. To us it means this and something more. We see, built on the edge of a wooded lake, a hut, whose large porch, five-foot fire- place, three cots, sink and well-stocked shelves, tell of hikes, picnics, of moonlight sings on the rocks, of sleep before a crackling fire, and ' of other good times which are to come. Due to the success of the last Hut Fund drive, in which faculty as well as students took such interest, we have now paid all debts and the Hut is really ours. Nor can we continue without officially thanking the cast of The Woman Who Didn ' t Care for the melodramatic interest which they displayed that night in Thames Hall. Before and after the games began last Fall, a hike of some description was planned for each Saturday afternoon, beginning with a Hare and Hound chase to the Hut and ending with a Treasure Hunt on the Island. The Winter Season was rather inactive aside from a few days of skating and still fewer days of tobogganing, skiing, sliding and snowshoeing. Next year we have plans for an Ice Carnival at Miller ' s Pond. Spring needs no organized hikes, although there will be some for those who do not yet know where to find the bluest violets or the pinkest laurel. Whatever happens, the Outing Club will always be ready to start things mov- ing in case a period of inactivity sets in.

PDBLIGATI0N5 5Jruia The Connecticut College News aims to be the recorder and chronicler of Campus events; it also seeks to pick out the significant trend of college thought here and elsewhere, and tries to guide such thought in an enlightened way in so far as is possible. In the Free Speech Column an opportunity is given to the student body to express their convic- tions and criticisms in cold, hard print — an opportunity seldom made use of. The Staff is of the opinion that students would find great relief in confiding their secret misgivings and conclusions to this overlooked column. And to the Alumnae the News endeavors to be a medium of communication between the world of affairs and the ever-important world of College — both in academic and play life. Although the News has appeared in fitful and intermittent starts to the Alumnae, neverthe- less the News needs the abused Alumnae as much if not more than the Alumnae needs the News.

All college publicity goes through the Press Board, which is made up of a group of girls acting as Correspondents and Reporters for thirty of the leading papers of the United States.

The Equation : — The equation arising is a quadratic in x, where x is the profit to be derived from the Club. This variable x is profoundly unknown to many on the campus. We shall know it to be real. The Discriminant: — If x is to be real the discriminant B- — 4AC must be positive. In this B is the Benefit derived from the regular meetings, A is the Advantage accruing from an occasional open meeting, and C is Criticism. B is squared because the regular meetings benefit doubly those who prepare the papers and those who hear them, A is obviously a positive quantity and since C is negative, the discriminant is always positive. (The President of the Club will explain this to any unfortunate who entered on one unit of algebra.) The Conclusion : — The Mathematics Club by its regular meetings stimulates those who have a primary or large interest in mathematics, and by its open meetings gives all an opportunity to hear some interesting phases of the subject discussed in an intelligible manner. Therefore the club is worthwhile. [103] MV5IC ilau nlm (Elub Leader Isabelle Grinnell Manager Janet Goodrich Faculty Advisor Mr. Grinnell Although the meetings of the Mandolin Club don ' t come half often enough, those which we do have, are responded to with great pep by banjos, mandolins, violins, and we are proud to boast — a clarinet. The key-note of the Club is harmony, and many a lost chord is found forthwith becoming part of some enhancing tune. The Club plays with equal ardor both classical and popular numbers. The chmax of the year ' s activities is the Concert given sometime in the spring, and it is this goal which spurs on to greater things during the year. mn (Elub Leader Mr. Frederick Weld President Dorothy Perry Manager Ruth McCaslin Accompanist Charlotte Beckwith The Glee Club burst into print this year by singing at a dinner, given by the Connecticut League of Women Voters, and at a luncheon of the New London Rotary Club.

Endowing each one with a soul, I pieced them together and made A glorious and unified whole! i irtitratiatt With green which I took from the pine-tree And gray from the rocks staunch and true.

I ©l?? f atl) In the Early Morning There is a coolness in the air, but no wind stirs. It is ghostly light. The sun has not yet poked its curving edges over the hills. It is that moment of expectation, of hesitation that marks the slipping of night into day. The little path that snakes its way up the gently sloping hill at the back of the house recognizes the mystical moment and it, too, waits. The slender trees whose branches arch above my path are silent, motionless. The leaves are gay with the dew; the brown trunk is damp and grey. The friendly dryads of these my trees, stepped through the doors just as I came to the window — for I heard the faint click of the locks. The stonewall which keeps the little path from meandering across the field, and perhaps from wandering on still further down the curving sides of the world, is cool and contented and relaxed And the slim grass drinks thankfully of the dew upon its smooth sides. At Noon The sun, hot and steady, burns and tires my little path. The sky is an intense heat-freighted blue, and heavy. No cooling, fragrant wind blows from the south. The trees are patient under the heat. Their leaves, lacking dew or rain, turn to the damp earth around their roots for the water that keeps them green. The stone-wall is fiery and baked, and it longs for the cool of evening. Once, the tired little man who dwells in the wall, whispered to mc that he dreaded the hot summer hours now that his age had increased so. It seems that long ago he was youthful and — but that is another tale! The grass is limp and yellow on the edges. The heavy, heat-laden atmosphere drops nearer and nearer my little path until it gasps. Even the tiny insects, who love the warmth, seek coolness under the yellowing grass. In the Twilight From the south comes a breeze bringing relief. The trees grow steady again; the leaves whisper happily amongst themselves. The stone-wall expands and stretches under the friendly purply-blue sky. The grass sways and swings gently. On a tall, lifting branch a thrush pours out his throbbing song. A moth weaves a thread of white through the slowly dropping dusk. A faint golden light pricks the darkening blue. Peace and coolness and quiet are over my path — and it is happy ! — Alice Barrett, ' 25. nil] When the mist enfolds the cottage walls And the dawning dimly strains Through the wavering shroud of grey and falls On the casement ' s dripping panes; hen the stately elm is a wraith obscure With rainbows in her hair And the salty tang of the sea ' s allure Is calling our souls to dare : Then a wistful sadness wraps me round And a longing fills my soul For the untried trails and seas unbound, For the vague, uncertain goal. For the fires of home and love and life To warm my chilling heart For some clarion call to enter the strife And wrest from the world my part. — Barbara Brooks, ' 26. (In u;hp Amrnrnu lEaub We have a little custom That to me seems most exotic — On holidays and special days We ' re very patriotic. On ordinary everydays Our civic pride is small, And on rainy days and snowy days There ' s none of it at all. My way of knowing all these things Consists in nothing more Than in glancing at the flag-pole Out beside the reservoir — On holidays our flag is large, On everydays it ' s small; And on rainy days and snowy days There is no flag at all. [1121 tmpk Ipautg Through a too-common illusion, simplicity and beauty are considered as rivals, and I shall try to point out a few facts to the contrary. Simple is not synonymous with ugly, anymore than sumptuous, stylish, and costly are synonymous with beautiful. Wealth coupled with bad taste sometimes makes us regret that so much money is in circulation io provoke the creation of such horrors. But we should not confound true beauty with that which has only the name. The beauty of existence lies in the under- standing we have of it. You need not be rich to give grace and charm to your habitation: It suffices to have good taste and good will. May I say a few words regarding women here. Those who would have women wear shapeless garments which would appear no better than bags, misunderstand completely the spirit of things. If dress were only a precau- tion to shelter from cold, a beast ' s skin would do as well. The dress is not simply a covering; it is a symbol. To be truly beautiful, it must tell of beau- tiful things. Spend all the money you possess upon it, if it is determined by chance or custom, if it has no relation to her who wears it, it is only toggery, ultra-fashionable dress, which covers up the personality of the wearer, takes away the attraction. From this abuse it happens that things women ad- mire do as much wrong to their beauty as to their purses. The dress you have made for yourself is almost always the most becoming. And has any- thing the power to please more than simple, fresh costumes of country people, which have beauty in the simplicity? The same applies to our homes. Why, under pretext of decorating them do we destroy that personal character, why do sleeping rooms resemble those of hotels, and why do reception rooms look like waiting rooms, all by following a type of official beauty? You can go through houses in a city or country and find them much alike because of repetition. How much more enhancing would they not be with more simplicity ! With simplicity the in- dividual, human personality can be stamped on a home. The same is true with housekeeping. Some girls have the idea that it is a contemptuous task, in which there is no beauty, that it is too simple to have any attraction, and that only art and authorship can have style. They believe home work to be menial and disagreeable such as sweeping and watching a pot boil. It all depends in whose hand the broom or the pen is. If work remains without charm, inspite of outward appearances, it is because the worker does not know how to make it so. The best is to be able to put a soul into that which has none. A house can not be a home without some [113] deft touch to make it such, but luxury is not needed to turn the simple into beauty. As I read in some book that the original of the fairies sung by poets was found, and is still, among those amiable mortals who knead bread with energy, mend rents with cheerfulness, nurse the sick with smiles, put witchery into a ribbon and genius into a stew, still holds true. When a house is cramped, a purse limited, a table modest, then a woman who has the gift, finds a way to make order, fitness and convenience in that home. To do well what you have to do is not a privilege of the rich, but the right of all. Here again may I quote a passage that holds great truth: Nature has given to the fingers of woman a charming art which she knows by in- stinct, and which is peculiarly her own, as silk to the worm, and lace-work to the swift and subtle spider. She is the poet, the interpreter of her own grace and ingeniousness, the spinner of the mystery in which her wish to please arrays itself. All the talent she expends in her effort to equal men in the other arts, is never worth the spirit and conception wrought out through a bit of stuff in her skillful hands . After all everything is rich is hidden, beauty. To be yourself and to reahze the kind of beauty fitting in its natural place is a great ideal. Is it not better to have beauty in simphcity than to hope to have what you really have not, and to long for a poor cheap imitation of finery? Simple is not synonymous with ugly, but as many times as we wish, it can be synonymous with beauty. — Ethel Mace, ' 27. u mt [114] Olotttrmpnrant Hjou? UprapH Apologies to Sara Teasdale April found me lonely Raindrops in my eyes. May came swiftly after, Radiant with surprise. June found me in a rapture, The world a glorious song. ' Neath drowsy, pearly starlight You said you ' d love me long. But then in cool September You flew south like a bird ; You kissed my startled, trembling mouth; But never spoke a word. Oh, I can smile quite sweetly now; I do not mind the rain. But yet, amid next April showers, I hope you ' ll come again. Apologies to Carl Sandburg I met you first at six P. M. at Field ' s. We dined, we danced — watched cars — Piercearrows — the L . Home in a taxi — stopping and jolting — boulevards — asphalt — bridges — door- step — goodnight. I met you the next night at six P. M. at Field ' s. Apologies to Amy Lowell All day long I have been thinking How I love you. But you are far from here. . There is only a cold gray cloud in the sky; The wind is very still ; It can not move the cloud to the horizon. [115] I am too dull to even write to you; I must have sunshine, Bumble bees droning, Humming birds humming, Glistening petals, Scales of a fairy ' s wing, Swaying bluebells. Chiming little tunes. Fragile notes ; Pink and white apple blossoms. Boughs upon boughs of them, Scents for your hair; Dew on the grass. Opals and moonstones; These must I have Because I love you. These I have not, And yet, I love you just the same. Edna St. Vincent Millay My iips have brushed your pretty mouth, And I have tasted love. I thrill at modest violets. The carolling of a dove. Oh. I am just a flimsy moth Of brown and dreary hue. And yet you watch me flutter, watch me Tremble just for you. I would I were a butterfly Of golden and of blue. For then with wings of diamonds I ' d dart about for you. -Jean Gillette, ' 26. rii6i ©hat ' s ll|p Himh of a Jrllom 3 Am That ' s the kind of fellow I am. I would go out and slam the door, slam it hard — once, twice, maybe three times. Then I ' d go down the stairs two steps at a time, yell as I passed the livingroom, and unlock the door. Outside, I should feel the cold, bracing air on my cheeks. I should toss my braids at the tall, dark buildings and strike off toward the river. Down, down, — over stone walls, through bramble patches and across brooks, till I reached the cold, dark water. There I would dabble my hands, and perhaps blubber in it a bit. But I wouldn ' t jump in; yes, maybe I would too. How sorry everyone would be, — but how cold the water would, how soggy my shoes; no, no, — I wouldn ' t jump in. I ' d creep back to the old graveyard and sit on Josiah, lost at sea . He had known how it was to get all cold and wet, to go down, down, to gasp and struggle. I wouldn ' t try it, even if Josiah did; I ' d just think about it. I ' d sleep a bit and, when it was morning, I ' d get up and hurry on. In the town streets there would be swarms of children. If I stopped to hear their prattle, I ' d slap them a little, or shake them perhaps, — that ' s the kind of a fellow I am. With an apple or two hidden in my pockets I would strike for open country. After I ' d stuck myself in the brambles for a while, I would walk faster or else slower, kicking one ankle against the other as I walked. I ' d gather lots of stones and throw them at a tree, pretending it was a person; I wish it might be. I ' d hit it all over and knock off lots of bark; maybe the tree-person would die, — all the better. Then I would see someone coming over the hill. I would throw away the apples and run, on and on. They won ' t catch me: what if they did? It would mean confinement, work, and a red flannel dress. They won ' t catch me, they can ' t. My! How near they are, — oh, I can ' t go any farther! I don ' t want to go back; I don ' t want a red flannel dress; oh, I don ' t, I don ' t! — Barbara Tracy ' 27. SOMNAMBULISM A long, dimly-lighted hall with doors, doors, doors; — then steps, lots of them, steps of wide, cold stone; — a cool delicious sensation on bare feet. A feeling of going on and on; — a flash of bright light in a lower hall and, then darkness. — An open door, — a glimpse of a delicate face on a white pillow; — a shaft of light turning the mass of fluffy hair to gold. A gradual awakening on a warm September morning, — a tired, strained feeling of sleeplessness; then a dull recollection, a dim impression of long corridors and cool, stone steps. In amazement I look at the soles of my feet, and I shuddered as I saw that they were dirty ! — Barbara Tracy ' 27. [117] Slip Itrtl; nf Jtr? A satyr-child lay dozing in the wood. The sun dropped; the evening star shone red; When, from the very altar of the Most High, Came Fire, — a flaming golden sphere. At the feet of the wood-child it breathed. He woke and stared and waited. Watching it pulse awhile — red, — yellow, — red- Then with glee his laugh rang clear — Comrades, look — a new toy ! And gaily he tossed it high — The pulsing red sphere in the dark wood ! — Alice Barrett, ' 25. [1181 Ifu ngp Voices passing by my door Make a most malign uproar When try to sleep. A Vic its jazz is grinding out, The dorm is like a drunken bout When try to sleep. Bells go ringing all night long, They even sound the fire gong When try to sleep. Piano in the living room Makes me rave and rant and fume When try to sleep. Roommate ' s got to study late, Verbs aloud she ' s got to prate When try to sleep. Cars go rumbling loudly by And shine their headlights in my eye When try to sleep. But When I walk along the hall And to my friends I blithely call, There ' s someone wants to sleep! When I play a little jazz, A right that any mortal has, There ' s someone wants to sleep! When I laugh aloud and talk And run or jump instead of walk. There ' s someone wants to sleep! And when I have to study late. Of such a mind is my roommate She also wants to sleep! They scold and rave, crossly upbraid. And quite forget the noise they made When poor tried to sleep. They say I ' m thoughtless, selfish too Though I do as the Romans do When someone wants to sleep. So now when I ' m in spirits high I let my voice soar to the sky, Though someone wants to sleep. I quite forget the other cheek, And if I wish, I sing and shriek Though someone wants to sleep. — Lorraine Ferris, ' 26. -31 ) -- [119] Main i tn Pt Fascinated I watched as she ghded into the lobby — tall exotic, smoothly gowned in black satin, her whole body swaying to the faint strains of the Jazz orchestra. The strains were faint by virtue of the distance between their location and mine and by reason of the heavy atmosphere. A group of cynical youths and bored maidens turned to gaze after this paragon as she covered the shining floor with five sinous glides to where one waited her. He was another cynic ; the only difference between the older and younger ones being a matter of degree not of quality. This one was tall, blonde, slender, exquisitely dressed. His mouth was smiling as gently as his deep sophistication and boredom would allow. The well-shaped fingers of his left hand toyed delicately with a fully matured bit of fluff that clung to his short upper lip as cohesively as cement to a bit of mended china. He rose languor- ously. As the Beauty came within arm ' s distance he lifted the brilliantly manicured fingers of her right to his lips — and with a straightening of his legs and a low obeisance from the hips placed a wistful kiss on her slender hand. An ecstatic sigh wrenched itself simultaneously from the diaphrams of the exalted youths and maidens. A gasp of wonder burst from the lips of the older generation seated discreetly on the red velvet divans. He, the tall, blonde one, looked into her deep eyes and, — Aw right. Bill, shoot! Hot perspiring cameramen cranked the machine. A critical, harrassed producer watched eagerly for errors. All right, Mr. Ferris, that will be all today for you and Miss Gray. Get the car, Joe, we ' ve got to go down to the river to shoot some stills. All the interest but a second ago centered on the seductive male and the seduced female now focussed on the street. Through the revolving doors the crowd hurried. The cynical youths and sophisticated maidens became innocent youngsters endeavoring to beat one another to the river to find the best seat for the next set . The discreet elders, still outwardly discreet but inwardly fermented and excited, quietly followed. The white-marbled and red-velvet lobby was void and common-place. In one corner the Beauty, relaxed to slouched ease, sank on to the red divan. The genial cynic, thumbs in the armpits of his sport vest borrowed from the most expensive Men ' s Furnishings, gazed at her vacantly. Gosh, Willie, I ' m darn glad this day ' s work is over. Uh-huh! — Alice Barrett, ' 25. [120] iFngbanks For many long, golden days we have dabbled in the lapping waves, we have squashed the warm, wet sand between our toes, and gathered the star- fish and the scallop shells that lie along the shore. For many days we have been happy here by the rippling water, content to laugh and run upon our sunny beach, then dreamily to gaze at the sea gull ' s circling flight. For many days — but then a morning comes when the smooth, bright pebbles and the scattered shells do not satisfy. We awaken with a longing in our hearts to leave the smooth, safe shore and try the dancing waves. Perhaps there is a sadness in our mother ' s eyes when we tell her what we feel, but she knows the time has come when she must let us go, aand so she leads us to the little boat that is moored upon the shore. We grasp the oars with eager hands and scarcely see the trembling of her lips as she kisses us good-bye. A little shove and we are gently rocking on the waves, truly happier than we ever were before. Joyfully, and almost without thought we head for the open sea. New strength is in our limbs, new joy within our hearts. Out through the sunlight we go, eager, unafraid, until the well known harbor fades into a dim, blue distance. Then little streaks and sisps of mist dim for a momet the sparkling brightness and passon. There is a hint of strangeness in the air, our hearts are not so sure, we rest upon our oars and watch the trailing, baffling bands of mist come near and nearer to us. The shore is much too far away, and we are not even sure that we would care to return to it if we could. Helpless, puzzled perplexed we drift into the fogbanks and are lost in their enveloping grey dimness. Tossed by a confusion of swirling currents, we struggle toward the tiny rifts of sunlight that come through, only to find that they, too, fade and disappear when we approach them. Nothing but ceaseless, irresistible move- ment, a limitless expanse of chill, mysterious twilight! It is in such an atmosphere as this that most of us enter college. In childlike faith we watched the loving hands that fashioned our gar- ments for us, we understood and trusted them. They were faultless, sure, and satisfying: and when we looked from our window out upon the stars, we believed that thus too, the universe was made, perfect, stable, and easy to be understood. But there comes a day to all of us, when the hands we so firmly believe in, err; when a star falls from its place and we are plunged in the whirling chaos of the incomprehensible. The breath of unreality, the strong winds of doubt, resistlessly buffet us about on the seelling sea of our increasing consciousness. All the structure [121] that our thought has heretofore built up crumbles and disappears before the sweeping power of the raging blasts. No wall or pillar stands, and even the fragments of the down fall are soon swept away. Probably the experience is occasioned by the natural transition from childhood to maturity, and would occur in any circumstance; but college with the view it gives of far horizons, makes the tumult more intense, more illimitable. We learn, we see new vistas of truth, we discover things more wonderful than we had ever dreamed before. College leads us out onto the broad new highways, but we feel that it is all, as though suspended in mid- air. The roads may be beautiful and lead to glorious goals that lie far away, but whence did the pathway start, and whither in the end is it going? We do not know, and will not accept the word of another to tell us, even if they could. We must needs struggle on as best we may, and once in a while, we find a rainbow in the mist, a promise of clear sunshine yet to come. We study such a subject as astronomy and the stupendous vastness of the truth it strives to tell us, plays like lightening through the storm. But when we discover such an analogy, as that those whirling restless spheres of unbelieve- able magnitudes are tracing courses in a system identical to the infinite millions of what man has lately called electrons, the sun almost bursts through. From such a proof of unity as that, from such an indication of reality and truth, we dare to hope, that some day we may steer our little boats again into clear waters, and possibly even return for a glimpse of the little harbor where we had played so happily long ago. The fogbanks may possess a certain amount of terror and much of discomfort, yet I bilieve that we would not choose to plot our course around them. How much more beautiful will a summer sea, and golden sunshine look when we have passed through the storm, than as if we had never lost them in the greyness of the mist? — Marie Copp, ' 27. i K [122] Sninnr Bpavt College is a disillusionment, moaned Pam, suddenly shutting the book she had not been studying for the last ten minutes. How so? demanded her room mate, Lib, without faltering in the straight red stripe she was daubing down the middle of a design for a fall textile. We-11, hesitated Pam, maybe it ' s my fault, but, doggone it, I used to like to think I could believe things people told me ! It makes me furious to be called gullible , and she squirted the ink from her fountain pen in furious little splotches on her blotter. Lib laughed; then seeing that Pam ' s eyes were very bright and her chin set in a hard line, she stopped and asked mildly, Who ' s been trying her imagination on you this time, dear? This time ! exclaimed Pam sharply. This time ! Then you think I ' m gullible too! and she kicked a tinny tattoo on the waste paper basket under the desk. No I don ' t, at least, not especially , Lib replied with a smile, then chuckle, but I thought I would die at you and Joan the other night, when Joan was telling you about her visit to the Dean and you swallowed it, fish, line, hook and all . Pam looked irritated, then embarrassed. Well, maybe I am sort of stuff- able, but golly! Lib, I don ' t see how you can tell whether people are stringing you or not. Now I don ' t see any reason why the Dean wouldn ' t have a drawer full of cigarette boxes she ' d confiscated, provided that she did go around confiscating things. When Joan said the Dean told her she was going to ship them to Dr. Grenfell to distribute among the poor of Labrador I thought it was a sort of funny thing to do, but Joan looked so darn serious — Oh, well, I guess I was just brought up among truthful people, that ' s all, and didn ' t have to stop and ask whether everything they said was line or not, and Pam looked superior, the way one does when telling people that of course when she is at home the family expect her to go to church every Sunday. Lib was still amused. Joan gets a lot of fun out of it, and it really is funny you know, Pam, to see just how much people will swallow. I do think, though, that things can be carried too far. But, when there is so little excitement around this campus, and you ' re simply dying to have something happen that will cause a stir, why one of the easier methods is to start some- thing yourself.. I shouldn ' t wonder if that ' s why Joan lets loose her imagina- tion once in a while. Well, of course, if people must get amused, I suppose I can stand it , but Pam looked ruffled. You asked me how I could tell line from the truth a second ago, but I don ' t know half the time how I do. In the case of the Dean-cigarette story though, you yourself showed how anyone could tell it was line. You just said ' provided that the Dean did go around confiscating things ' . Well, it ' s in the ' provided that ' . You know she doesn ' t! But you can never tell what people might do , moaned Pam the gul- lible. Now how did I know last year that Dr. Planter didn ' t get drunk on [1231 New Year ' s and stand on the table and get caught in the chandeher and pull it down, then get furious at Mrs. Planter because she tried to calm him, and kick her? Everybody was talking about it, and of course I swallowed it! Pam, you are hopeless! shrieked Lib in paroxysms. Of course you would swallow it. Oh, glory — I have never laughed so hard in my life, and she sank back exhausted, Well, I guess you believed the one about Mile. Coty for awhile ' , re- torted Pam with an air of a lawyer having found the right instrument for the defense at last. Darling , Lib replied as seriously as she could, I really did, up to the point of ' Drink to me only with thine eyes ' , and then the game was up as far as I was concerned. When Molly said that Mile. Coty was married I swallowed it because you know she never calls herself ' mademoiselle ' , but always ' Doctor ' . And when she said that this great, lively foreigner called and said he was Mr. Coty and wanted to see his wife, I swallowed even that. But when she said that they went into the living room and he played and sang ' Drink to me only with thine eyes ' to her, well, as I ' ve said, the game was ofT . Pam considered for a minute. Then there always is a point where a thing goes from the likely to the unlikely? she asked. No , Lib answered, there isn ' t. Some things that get around this campus are about as likely as — well take the story of the Dean and Miss Frank. I don ' t think even you believed that . I never heard it , said Pam, or I probably would have. What was it? Oh, just that they got drunk one night and ran that little flivver of theirs into a water hydrant and the Dean got thrown out into the middle of Bank Street. Didn ' t you hear that? I have no idea who started it, but Dot was telling a lot of Freshmen one day last year and you should have seen them ! I thought they would die of shock . Well I should think they would have , Pam replied seriously. Hon- estly, Libbie, some one ' s going to do a lot of harm starting things some day. I ' m not the only gullible idiot around here . No, not quite said Lib cruelly. Really, though , she continued, see- ing Pam prepared to throw a book into the middle of her still wet painted de- sign, you don ' t swallow half as much as you did when you were a Fresh- man . You certainly are a ' Joe-hopeful ' said Pam sarcastically, and opened her book. Gloree. This darn essay is only forty-six pages long ! ' The English Mail Coach ' — what a thing to write on I We ' ve got to look up ' fugue ' too, and find out what it means . Some kind of musical composition, isn ' t it? Yes, I think so. Lib, did you ever know that Dr. Springs used to be a very noted organ player in New York, but had to give it up? No, really? I ' ve always thought he looked musical. Why did he have to give it up ? The monkey died ! And Pam the gullible dived behind the closet door to avoid the paint box that came whirling through space directly toward her stuffable head. — Lorraine Ferris, ' 26. 1124] Hooisr Uraurs iFrnm tl|r IKrntp of ' 9r nr a l appij l nur Uttb i ' nmr Aluimtar 1. MARY J. STALL. Mamie the young upstart, has forever, that is four ever pleasant years, been the leading prankster among the collegians. Her laughing eyes betray a heap of mischief — w hich Mamie simply has to get out of her system. And where ' s the man who w ill say he hasn ' t enjoyed it? It ' s a great life Mamie dear. Go to it! 2. VIVIAN FEDORA. Of all the girls — the fairest yet — This gentle dove — whome we do pet. Anon. And our gentle dove , is none other than ViVi , of the sweet smile. Truly the fairest of all her classmates and beloved by each and every one. She moves with such a gentle grace, that even the flowers turn towards her as she passes. The Lily Maid of As- telot , she is called by many, and the Faery Queen by others, but to everybody she is ViVi the loveable . : 3. EFFIE L. SMART What will Effie be up to next? For EfBe is the one among us who is handy with her needle. She has al- ready crocheted a bedspread for every single one of her chums and is now busy at work on the Effie Hair Pin Holders, for the Alumnae Bazaar. What is the old world coming to? But life is not all needles and thread, for Etfie can josh as well ' as the next one.

ROB IS ON, President Home Office, OMAHA, NEBRASKA [150] Why Build of Lumber? BECAUSE Lumber is the Standard building material. Lumber possesses uniform quality and adaptability. Lumber is the most economical home building material. Lumber homes need not grow dull, weather-stained, or damp. Lumber is adaptable to more purposes than any other material. Lumber homes can be economically remodelled, enlarged, or moved. Lumber homes are not naturally damp and mouldy — they are dry, clean, and wholesome. Lumber homes, of colonial design, are still the standards of beauty, durability, comfort, and economy in American Architecture. Lumber excels all other building material in beauty of appearance, susceptibility to artistic finish, and in sentiment and satisfaction for home building. Lumber homes are always a safe investment. They need no explanation or apology, no pressure of sales argument in behalf ot the material used in their construction Lumber possesses innate beauty and charm. A home of lumber is the expression of sincerity and trtith and re- flects, m a way peculiarly its own, the individuality and character of its ozvner. Lumber homes have a recognized permanent value. The owner of a lumber home gets the use of every dollar ' s worth ot his investment every day he is living in it, and does not carry a load of fictitious permanency, which, if it has any value, will probably accrue to strangers who won ' t pay for it.
