Grandma: Of course, I'll tell you about my second year. We came back to school in the fall of 1942 to find that many of the boys of our class were now a class ahead of us. They had taken advantage of the new accelerated program. The first excitement of the year was the appearance of the D1c1c1NsoN1AN. Most of us thought it was wonderful, a few were a bit shocked. The biggest dance of the year was the midwinter ball. Hal McIntyre and his orchestra played, and Peggy Respess was crowned queen. The year 1942 saw the first mid-term graduation. February 17 was a day that we will long remember. Forty-three Dickinsonians left Carlisle for the Army early that morning. The entire student body, the faculty, and the band were at the station to send them off. The band played all the old favorites, and everyone was oblivious to the tears that were rolling down their cheeks. That was the Hrst that the war had really hit home. On March 1, the Army Air Corps moved in. They took over the classrooms, the labs, the gym, and the campus. Along with the Air Corps came a date bureau established by Mary Mackie. Pan-Hell week was cut down to only a formal on Saturday night at the Beta House. Pat and Mike: CBoth yawn.D Grandma: You are too tired to hear the rest now. I'd better take you to bed. ACT III SCENE: Grandma talking to Lulu Belle over the television telephone. Grandma: There isn't much to tell about my third year in college. Lulu Belle: Tell me anyhow, Grandma. Grandma: Well, our class was practically all girls by that time. We no longer had Saturday night dates, bridge games took their place. Occasionally boys would come back to visit us, and we would have grand times discussing where who was, and the fun we had had. The Song Fest on the old Stone Steps was re-established, the Chi Omegas claim- ing top honors. The Air Corps left the campus, and our president, Fred Pierce Corson, left too when he was made a Bishop. At the end of the year Wheel and Chain members were tapped from our class, and we were presented with the old Stone Steps of Old West. Lula Belle: Thank you for telling me, Grandma. I must go now. Good-bye. ACT IV SCENE: Grandma tuning in the sound waves of her radar set to see how far Lulu Belle is from the house. Grandma: Hm-m-m-m-m-m. She'll be here soon, and I know she'll want to hear about my final year in college. Let's see, what shall I tell her? I'll tell her about Dr. Prettyman being made our new president, and about living in the Phi Delta Theta House, and eating in the College Commons. I think she would like to hear about the all-college parties. First about the Hallowe'en Party when we ducked for apples with the faculty, then the Doll Show and London Steel Yard. I'll tell her about the Navy coming in, the Little Theater revival, and the Anti-Bifurca- tion Garment Proclamation. Then I'll end up by telling her about the numerous engagements and weddings that made such a dent in our class. I do hope Lulu Belle gets as much out of college, and has as much fun as we did. There's nothing that will equal it. Grandma: Good-bye. 1, -'warns rv' 1 -W
