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|

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
