JUNIUH IHHSS A carefree crowd, we frisked triumphantly through our frosh year fin spite of an over-emphasis on the social side of life, which resulted in a mild landslide of notices and noise penaltiesl. We stymied the Sophs by presenting Polly as our class chairman-presi- dent combination and were in turn stymied by them when we turned out en masse at the Frosh-Junior picnic to attempt to defend the fort against the invaders. We declared a truce in the shape of lollypops at the Frosh Banquet, and saluted them by selecting Cobbie as our May Queen. Age may creep upon us, but we'll never forget pounding out investigatives until dawn cracked in the east, fervid bull sessions on men, love, and men, our favorite song, t'Nine more days till vacation , that rainy night of June Play when Anne, as an Elizabethan page-boy, skidded across the grass and almost split her red satin tights, candles, men, and music at the Mark Twain at a Saturday night 'Qjammedn ses- sion, and our increasing pride in our big sisters. Our Soph year had an evolutionary tinge about it-demi-tasse and cigarettes in the Rec Room after dinner, a new slant on that word discretion, and headline news in the Octagon, Hilltop Is Approved! These privileges might have led us to believe that we were on the road to sophistication, had it not been for the homey touch of Cowles- Post's cat skeletons in the sink, Barby's tarzan yodels for help when stranded in that excuse for an elevator, and Goliath'7 and Percival, our pet mice. With our famous verve, under Prexy Jessie's able baton, we conducted an original Silly Symphony fSoph Hopj, applauded the announcement of IRIS staff at our class luncheon, capered beside our mock May Queen as she regally rode her mowing-machine chariot, and staggered cheerfully under the weight of the laurel chain on Class Day. We renewed the old tra- dition of singing around the Octagon, and let Wils, Nudie, and Bolland start something new by driving up the front walk of Cowles one midnight. Miraculously, we are upperclassmen-and now we rate caps and gowns, yellow chrys- anthemums-and Little Sisters. Styming the Sophs has gotten to be one of our tradi- tions, as evidenced by their kidnapping and our retrieving Toady fby fair and foul meansl before Frosh-Junior picnic. FII leave it to you to judge whether Junior Thespis Junior was enjoyed or not, there's only one answer. With a blare of trumpets we ushered in our most notable achievement-a name band for Prom. Fear and trepidation haunted us fespecially Chairman Dot Benedict and Class President Vestal before Prom that weid flop from lack of school support-and during Prom-that the blue crepe-paper ceiling would flop from lack of ceiling support. P. S.-Both were a howling success, as was Dinner-Dance, the end-all of the week-end. And with all this, college for the fortyites has been one round of good weather and -lest we forget, ulthaca calling! We havenit been blessed by the gods, we know, but our success has been blessed by our genial patron saint, Miss Lyon. So, THANKs Fon THE MEMoR1Es! I181
