time and again. And to what avail? All the time the seniors were across town at Quaker Hill. After a dramatic scene in which we made a valiant attempt to cram through exams the curtain was lowered on Act ll. When it went up again we found that we were juniors. Not much later we went to the fan mail board one morn- ing to find those ominous looking en- velopes which we knew contained an- nouncements of junior orals. With fear and trembling we went to the Foulke Room or faculty parlor to undergo the third degree. All kinds of contradictory rumors spread, and reports agreed only in that it was great to have it over. Now we're grateful that we didn't have to take the written orals initiated this year. With the number of men on campus increasing steadily, WAA took courage and sponsored a girl invite dance that year, and that gave the gals the chance they had been waiting for, and they got busy with bear traps and lassoes to trap PATRICIA HORNBROOK ROBERT SCOTT ALICE JANE STANLEY JOHN BOWMAN ELOISE ALBIN DONALD MORRIS Page twenty nine

Our wishing well theme must have brought us luck, for everyone had a wonderful time, Remember Mr. Pray in his tux, and Bob Thompson's drip- py impromptu? In return tor our hospitality the sen- iors gave us a run for our money the night of the senior picnic. What a night? We let them leave right under our noses and then walked miles back campus looking for them, climbing ten- ces and crossing streams without one tiny star in the sky to shed a little light on the subject. Girls who wouldn't go within a mile of a cow during the day found themselves stumbling over them WILMA VLASKAMP DOROTHY CALDWELL

Dates were made so far in advance that by the night of the dance some of the couples were going steady with two-other-peo- ple. Nevertheless, it was a gala affair and the biggest social event since most of us had been in Earlham. Reigning over the affair were our own Queen Squeezie and her King, Dick, and we were very proud of her. Soon after that we began to think back to our sophomore chapel program and to remember how much fun we'd had doing it. Wouldn't it be fun to do a repeat performance? We might even enlarge upon it and charge admission. So the idea to do a repeat performance and charge admission took root and grew into our Season Serenade. En- thusiasm mounted as everyone pitched in The music was chosen, sectional re- hearsals began, sets designed. Never before had the class worked together so closely as a unit. We remember par- ticularlv Emma Gore's rendition of Harvest Moon with Dusty Rhoads' lampshade moon glowing in the sky Clrene was so proud of his ingenuityli, guest star, Franny Betty Hutton Pray, and most of all, our tissue paper snow. How appropriate if some should drift down on our commencement speaker if any is left clinging to the curtains! At least it has provided many a laugh as it came down on some unsuspecting chapel speaker! Much of the credit for our success goes to Joy and Ginny whose inspiration and hard work kept us go- ing, and our thanks to Margy who let us celebrate at her house when it was all over. There's no rest for the wicked, they say and we know. No sooner were re- hearsals for our show completed than they began for the song contest. After taking second place the year before, we were all pepped up to write the winning songs. When we heard that it was a tradition that the odd-numbered class win twice, we were even more inspired. Knowing we would have to be good to beat those seniors and sophs Cthey thought so, tool, we went into huddles and came out with the winning combi-
