It beams upon Flora Mather House, and is answered by the twinkling and dimpling of the many friendly windows ; it seeks out Guilford House, and adds warmth to warmth, mellowness to the mellowness of the yellow walls; it saturates the ivy that spreads over the time-toned walls of Clark; it traces new patterns of light and shade in the stone carvings of Florence Harkness Chapel; and finally spreads, joyously beaming, over the towered bz :ttlements of Mather. But there was a time when the sun rising over this same familiar site, smiled down, not on splendid buildings, but on low farm houses, and acres of blossoming orchard. It was at the time when 3 : i Dr. Hrram Haypn women wore unbelievably large hats, and puff- First President ed sleeves, and listened with respectful awe to aii du NS the decisions of the men; it was the time when their men, hearing the rumblings of co-education in the east, decided that woman’s place was in the home; it was the time, finally, when Clevelanders driving out in the country with their horses and buggies did not realize that they were passing the site of the first co-ordinate college west of the Allegheny Mountains. But all this development must have a start somewhere; a college does not just grow—it must be planted. The seed of the College for Women may be said to have been planted as far back as 1871, when Western Reserve Academy was located at Hudson. It was in that year that an ambitious young woman, who lacked funds to attend an eastern college for women, asked to be admitted to the Academy. The answer of the Board of T rustees was not recorded, but it is known that they tacitly agreed to admit her if the individual professors did not object to a woman in their classes. There was no authority, therefore, for the matricula- tion of women, but the tacit acceptance of one woman student served as an opening wedge for other young women desiring an education, who were encouraged by the success of that first brave pioneer. The encroachment was gradual, but it was steady, although it did not at the time occasion any discussion by the faculty in a body. The Trustees, unaware of the hordes that were to descend upon them, were either indifferent or faintly acquiescent. ‘The only recognition that there was a problem was when Dr. Cutler, in his inaugural address in 1872, spoke on the equal rights of women in education. It was several years before the number of women had increased enough to make the men restive. In 1882 the college moved to Cleveland. In the first year in the city there were five women who “braved the rigours of co-education—and there was no lack of rigours, spiritual and physical. The only way in which they could get to the college on the outskirts of the city was by means of the horse-cars that ran to Thirty-nine o_O rrccrmames” Doan’s Corners. The horse-cars were open, the country was open, the wind circulated freely, and Latin and Greek were frozen up in numbed brains before the college was reached. But if the classics suffered, ingenuity prospered, and the girls put b aked potatoes in their mittens to keep their hands warm. Their courage, however, was indomitable. They studied hard even if they did bring down upon them the scornful accusation that they were “plugging”. The reputation of women—even the future of women’s education—depended upon them, and they worked hard. Their efforts were rewarded—a woman was Vale- dictorian of her class; women were on the Annual Board; women became class officers. They were succeeding too well. Tuer FOUNDING OF THE CLEVELAND COLLEGE FoR YOUNG WoMEN In 1888, after twenty women had been graduated from the college, agitation began in earnest. The number of women was increasing too rapidly; it was felt that the college should be recalled to its original purpose—an institution of learning for men. The faculty assembled in solemn meeting and adopted a series of reso- lutions which shut the women out of Adelbert College, while they opened up a new life for them in the future college that was to be their very own. These were the measures adopted by the University Board on the twenty-fourth day of January, 1888. “Whereas, the Trustees of the University are strongly impressed with the necessity of providing for young women facilities for higher education equally to those now furnished for young men, and the abandonment of co-education by Adelbert College makes this especially an opportune time for establishing here a college for women Resolved: That the Pre Silent be requested . . . -to establish arcollege for young women to be known as the Cleveland College for Young Women . ” The Ford House, College for Women, in 1888 The First Campus These resolutions were dignified and gentle—they give no hint of the excitement that ran through the city. Newspapers stormed; ministers preached sermons in de- fense of and against co-education ; and a noted educator raised his voice above the clamor, and prophesied i in tones of awful augury that he would give just three years at the farthest before the whole thing would collapse. The project was utterly futile. He was heard with a great shaking of heads among the conservatives. But there were men at the head of this project who would not listen to prophe- cies of defeat, and whose courage and capability multiplied by many times the three years allotted to the new college. Chief of these was Dr. Hiram Haydn, the first president of the college, a man respected by the community for his far- sightedness and ability. It was due a great deal to his efforts that the infant college lived through its first puny years. ‘At this time, seven professors of Adelbert College offered their services for three years, as the first great gift to the college. Other generous aid came in gifts of money; five thousand dollars from John Hay, and three thousand from Mrs. Amasa Stone. The now legendary Ford House at the corner of Euclid Avenue and Adelbert Road was rented, and in September, 1888, the Cleveland College for Young Women, armed with eight thousand dollars, a faculty of seven volunteer professors, and one paid instructor, the dean, Miss Eliza Lord, opened its doors to fourteen young women—twelve specials and two regular students. Earty Campus LIFE The Ford House was small and cozy, the faculty small, and the students few. Consequently they lived as one big family, in a closer contact between teacher and student than is now possible. The social life of the college was centered in the matting-covered parlor of the house, its walls lined with rough boxes for books and lunches. There the girls gathered each morning for a chapel service; there they came togethr to study; and there they hung tinsel and streamers as decoration for their many parties. Only the oldest “grads” recall one memorable card party held there. There had ee much elabore ite preparation for the event—the invi- tations were sent out early, the room was decorated, the refreshments were made, the tables were set, when Dr. Platner, who had been neither invited nor expected, walked in. Having his own ideas on card playing, he firmly banned all cards, and the guests found, when they arrived, that they had been invited for an afternoon of parchest. Forty-one Y A. POLYG PRODIGON : = Se At 26 Cornell Street stood the dormitory, and behind it, in an erstwhile barn, was the gymnasium. In its center glowed a coal stove, where the aesthetic dancers toasted their toes when they grew too cold to be aesthetic. It seems strange that while the girls were playing, studying, and struggling against odds, Cleveland, or the greater part of Cleveland, was blissfully oblivious of the infant college clinging to its outskirts. The college was not, as now, in the heart of the city. One young woman, who did not realize that the college q which was so important to her was unknown to others, ordered a tennis-net at Burrows’, and asked that it be delivered to the College for Women. The clerk did not react, and even after he had been given exasperated directions as to the exact location of the place, suavely Chapel in Clark Hall replied that he could not promise delivery, as the company’s wagons did not go out so far. Against this indifference and undeserved obscurity the college had to wage its battle. It was a much later class, however, that resorted to wearing mortar-boards on the street cars to and from school, to make Clevelanders aware that there was a college, a co-ordinate college, in their city. CNSR In 1891, the first commencement exercises took place. The first graduating class nervously patted her puffed sleeves, straightened the short train of her skirt, and marched down the aisle of the church, closely followed by the other sixteen members of the school, who having finished ushering, marched in the procession, sang in the choir, and sat on the stage with Louisa May French, the graduate, so that the first graduating class of the College for Women might not look too conspicuously singular. A StripE FoRWARD Things went on at an even enough tenor, but in spite of the comfortable atmosphere and the friendly spirit of Ford House, the feeling grew that this, being merely a rented house, was too impermanent for the foundation building of a college. So impermanent was it, in fact, that the first Tree Day tree was planted in a tub, since it could not be planted on rented ground. The new school needed a home that was its own. 4 It was Mrs. James F. Clark who made it possible for the college to find a permanent home. In 1889 she expressed a since-justified faith in the future of higher education for women, and in a college for women in Cleveland, by donating 50,000 dollars for a permanent endowment, and 50,000 dollars for a new building. It was her faith that finally decided the question as to whether the puny ye earling of a college should ever grow to maturity. This gift was shortly followed by that of Mrs. Samuel Mather who gave an additional 50, OOO dollars for the endowment and 25,000 dollars for a dormitory. Mr. J. Wade generously gave five acres of orchards conveniently near Adelbert College, and work was begun on two build- ings, Clark Hall and Guilford Cottage. The year 1892 marked the beginning of a new era for the college. In the fall of this year the two new buildings were dedicated.

SOT T WY uw . - r ee . : VN, ———— te a MARR enRTnRAREIDNE interested people crowded through the spic and span new halls of Clark, then gathered in the chapel where Mrs. Alice Freeman Palmer, president of Vassar College and earnest advocate of higher education of women, spoke of the hope and joy which this new venture gave her, and Dr. Thwing, the new president of the college, outlined his plans. The dormitory, charming in its homelike atmos- phere, was dedicated on the same day to Miss Linda T. Guilford, who had done so much for women’s education in Ohio. This same year the college advanced another step in acquiring a faculty of its own, four members of which are still with us, Professor Perkins, Professor Palmié, Professor Bourne, and Professor Deering. Thus the College for Women, standing firmly on its own feet, opened its own doors to the young women of Cleveland, the first co-ordinate college west of the Allegheny Mountains. Clark Hall was the hall of all purposes, the center for recreation and study. On the third floor was the gymnasium, thin floored and resonant, so that the gentle strains of Greek and Latin classes below were interrupted by the tramp, tramp, tramp of marching feet, or the sudden thump, thump, of someone who had failed to negotiate a buck-jump. On the second floor was the Chapel where the girls met each day for worship. Here many noted speakers lectured, among them George Herbert Palmer, Laymon Abbot, Joseph Jefferson, and John Fiske. On the first floor was the library where the girls studied and whispered, and lounges where they might entertain their guests; and in the basement were the rooms where they ate the lunches that they brought with them, and held spreads and parties. At this time the school was still small. There was no need for mail-boxes when all you had to do was stand at the foot of the stairs, and inevitably meet everyone in the school either going up, or coming down, including the professor whose class you should have attended. When the seniors gave a party they The Orchard on the North Campus sPecnaginn penne ews ate A EY ee py te ak Sm ts ya ear te net ster De ory Zé Ot Ne eee F Ferty-three Vf, could invite the whole school. The women of the Advisory Council, who have always done so much for the college girls, were able then to take a more personal interest in the students, who still remember the many pleasures that the Council gave them. The first year in the new home brought the first class of any size, and when, in 1892, the freshmen, swelled by a large number who followed Miss Perkins from Cen- tral High School, descended in a horde, forty strong, “jostling people on the stairways, over- running the reception rooms until they fright- ened away guests, and monopolizing the party rooms with their many spreads, the senior class of five and the junior class of eight held up thirteen pairs of hands in horror. The Lane from Campus to the “Tombs” THe MAKING OF TRADITIONS The earliest members of a college are the makers of its traditions, and the earliest members of the College for Women have handed down to their successors a store of traditions that breathe the very atmosphere of the college; they laid the foundations of the customs that have become part and parcel of our college life. We benefit by what they have done, and our pleasure in our traditional celebrations is increased when we consider that we are following in the footsteps of girls now long gone from the college. The first literary attempt of the new school was a little paper whose name, the Luminar, showed the high aspirations of those who wrote it. The girls could not afford to have their work printed, so it was written by hand. The year 1892 saw th e first edition of the Folio, a monthly magazine sponsored in its first year by Mrs. Josephine Humpel- -Zeman, a woman who had had previous experience in journalism. The Folio articles were highly literary in flavor—appreciations of poets, criticisms, and reviews as well as original short stories and poems. In 1913, the Folio was succeeded by the Lux, published jointly by College for Women and Adelbert editors. This was abandoned in 1915 and after a hiatus of two years appeared Volume I, Number I of the Sun Dial, which has continued to add volume to volume up to the present day. The other literary effort was the Annual, the Varia Historia, the first of which appeared in 1896, a dainty, decorative volume, lettered in gold, making way for the book which has appeared in one form or another every year. GROWTH OF ExTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES Very early, girls with common interests began to meet together in informal clubs. In 1892 the Y. W. C. A. was founded, a unit in the great national movement to develop a Christian character among young women throughout the country. Students of Greek met with their professor to further their studies and enjoy social contacts; the followers of current affairs, under the guidance of Professor Bourne, founded the Present Day Club which flourishes now; and the members of the Kaffee-Klatsch met at different homes to talk and sup. The Glee Club, not formally organized until 1896, had had its nucleus in the chapel choir, whose beginning dated from -the foundation of the college. | Very early in the career of the new college the girls had the longing to act. In 1894 they rehearsed for their first play, The Russian Honeymoon, but could Forty-four POLY cnRONICON iy fee A find no place to stage their effort until one enterprising actress thought of the unfinished attic of Guilford where the weekly wash was hung. On the night of the performance the guests, women, and gentlemen of the faculty—no others since women took men’s parts (in skirts)—climbed the back stairs to the college’s first “little theater” brilliantly illumined by one gas jet and the rays of the kerosene foot-lights. But in spite of the difficulties of presentation, the players proved them- selves worthy—so worthy, in fact, that Mrs. Mather aided them by building a new theater in the south wing of Guilford to measure up to their standard of acting. In the autumn of ’95 it was ready, and was christened with a second play, A Scrap ia of Paper. The hero, “a modish young man in white duck made his grand entrance i attired in a white duck shirt’, and played his part not a whit abashed by the 7 | stammering “My heavens! What’s that!’ of one man startled by the strange apparition. The girls themselves realized and laughed at the incongruity of their costumes, and in pictures placed the ‘‘men”’ discreetly in the background or shielded them with parasols, feather-dusters, or any other legitimate camouflage. From this beginning developed the Curtain Players who every year present several plays, i] alone or in cooperation with the Sock and Buskin Club of Adelbert College. 1} It was the class of ’96 that inaugurated the first real Tree Day. “Inevitably 1 | in the nature of things,” to quote the Folio for the month of May, “the day was i cold and rainy,’ and the spring pageant planned to be held in the beautifully ia blossoming orchard, was held in Clark Hall. The class sang their song— “We’re out in the sunny spring weather, To plant us a Maple Tree,” safely under the beamed roof of the chapel. The Tree Day, as it was originally conceived, was a simple observance, and since the students were few, and contact with the college close, the plays were concerned more intimately with college events ( £ and characters. It had not then become the elaborate performance that the sopho- lA more class now presents.

F s ANAL ACJ ia Encouraged, perhaps by the great increase in the size of the classes of ’96 and ’97, the college established the Students’ Association. Its object, stated in the constitution was “to transact business pertaining to the whole body of students, : and to further the interests of the students and the college so far as lies within | its power’. In the years which have followed it has maintained this ideal, and ' ably carried out its constantly increasing duties. ) Looxk1nc THROUGH THE ANNALS | Following down the years one sees new things constantly being introduced. ! ' The class of 1909, be- powdered and be-buckled danced the Minuet at the first Martha Washington Party in 1908; in 1914 came the first taste of the buffoonery and subtle satire of Stunt Night; while at intervals down the years came the hk establishment of new Sees the foreign language clubs, French, Spanish, and i } lately, German; the Debate Club which was an outgrowth of the Gavel Club of a | 1900; and the Musical Arts Club; and the newest members of the family, the iN Parnassus Club and the League of Women Voters, lusty infants both. Thus the dy traditions that form so great a part of our college life were established. ) i : : FURTHER EXPANSION Forty years have passed since doleful friends shook their heads over the founding of the Cleveland College for Young Women; forty years have passed since ihe college opened its doors to its first fourteen students; and the dawning of the fortieth year finds the College for Women a thriving institution of more ial than eight hundred students. The college has grown and expanded, not only ial physically, but spiritually and academically as weil. tI As the years went by, and the reputation of the college spread, the enrollment we increased far beyond the. expectations of even the most optimistic of the college’s friends. The college has, in forty years, graduated twenty-four hundred women; a the first graduating classes, which numbered from five to six, grew to many times i { EEE Se a s . — Scene from “The Scrap of Paper” Forty-six Y £—POLYCRRODICOR ye their original size, and now number between one hundred to one hundred and fifty, annually. The number desiring admission soon grew beyond the accommodations of the college, and the requirements for admission were raised, turning away many who asked to be admitted to the college. With the increase in enrollment, a Dean of Women, Miss Helen M. Smith, was appointed in 1914; in 1927, three additional assistant deans were appointed—Professor Eleanor Thomas and Professor Kath- erine Porter, Deans of Freshmen, and Professor Eleanor Ferris, Dean of Sopho- mores. The two buildings, Clark and Guilford, soon outgrew the huge classes that were crowding their halls, and new buildings were built. Florence Harkness Memorial Chapel was built by he r mother and husband, and endowed by them. In 1902, Mrs. Samuel Mather built Haydn Hall, as a residence and as headquarters for town girls, naming it for the first president and benefactor of the college. The gymnasium, erected by the efforts of the alumnae and many friends of the college, was finished in 1907; and Mather Hall, a memorial to Mrs. Samuel Mather by her husband and children, was built in 1913. It was the Alumnae Association that raised funds for Flora Mather House in 1914, as a testimonial of their regard for Flora Mather, who had been a member of the Advisory Council in the early days of the college. A survey of the courses offered in 1890, and those offered today, shows that the curriculum has increased in proportion to the students. In the earliest years the curriculum was limited, and a greater part of the subjects were not elective, but required for graduation. Economics, Political Science and Psychology were unheard of; Spanish and Italian were not included with German and French in the Romance Language department; there were two courses in Biology, as com- pared with fifteen today ; fifteen courses in English, as against double that number now ; and two courses in Physics, compared with twelve offered today. The com- bined courses with the Medical, Law, Library, Nursing, and Social Science schools, were not established until later in the history of the college. Recognition of the development of the College for Women into a first rate college, came early. In 1899 the college, largely through the influence of Miss Emma Perkins, was admitted to the National Association of University Women. In 1906, a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa was established; and as late as 1928, chapter of the National Collegiate Players was organized. In college standing, the College for Women is rated well up among the leaders, and its credits are accepted hour for hour at Bryn Mawr and Colleges in the East. PROSPECTIVE Although the college is so much an individual institution, it always remains a unit in the University as a whole, and the expansion of the greater University aids, and is aided by this important unit. The University is growing apace; University Circle is fast becoming Cleveland’s Center of Culture, and the College for Women is developing, and being developed by this change. This history is a chronicle of the past—the story of what forty years has meant in the development of our College for Women; in view of the rapid strides that it has made, it is a matter of splendid conjecture as to what the next forty years shall bring forth. Forty-seven Y 4—|PoLyonronon EY Avr Our Alumnae In their junior year those students who have not decided their life work begin to search for inspiration as to which field they should enter. At first the outlook seems rather colorless, and the opportunities of the col- lege graduate few. It is true that marriage and teaching have claimed most of our alumnae, but the catalogue of the Alumnae Association, which lists the occupations of the graduates, throws a ray of light upon the monot- onous landscape, by showing how far afield women have really gone, and in what colorful and interesting work they are engaged. Of the alumnae in educational work several are in our own college: Helen M. Smith; L. Bernice Garritt; Millicent Swain; Elinor Wells; Grace Preyer Rush; and Marion Cleaveland. Another high in the field is Esther Allen Gaw, Dean of Women at Ohio State Uni- versity. That alumna who is best known, namely Florence Allen, began her career as a lawyer, and now is a judge of the Supreme Court of Ohio. Others who have entered the legal profession are Margaret Lawrence, Grace Doering, and Meta Peters. Lila Robeson achieved fame in the Metropolitan Opera Company, and is now teaching in Cleveland. Marie Simmelink Kraft is a concert singer, and Martha Bell Angers is Director of the Cleveland Institute of ——--—«; = x, ——————————————— a Va, jaa Music. | eee as Of those known in literary fields, a few can be ua ROseEON mentioned: Marion Wildman Fenner and Helen Ives : | Gilchrist as poets; Helen Haimen Joseph, the author of out-door plays for girls; | Bertha Miller, a contributor to the Century; and Dorothy Worthington, to the New York World. Social work claims a large number: Florence Sullivan, Superintendant of the . Children’s Institutions, State Department of Public Welfare; Mildred Midnight, | Superintendent of Case Work, Child Guidance Clinic; and Constance Bell Webb, Director of Social Service at Lakeside Hospital. Others have been attracted by medicine and nursing: Mary McIntyre, M.D., Instructor at the University of Pennsylvania; Caroline McQuiston Leete and : Helen Cottrell Hampton, practicing physicians; Malvina Friedman, Assistant Ful Director of Mt. Sinai Hospital, and Winifred Campbell, Supervising Nurse of Cal- ifornia Lutheran Hospital. The business world offers this wide variety: Josephine Herrick, professional I photographer ; Mathilda Spence, manager of a tea-room; Gilberta Torrey, research | chemist; Lucille Dorn and Helen Zinc, managers of fashion advertising at the | Higbee Company. There has been no mention of the many librarians, the best known of whom | is Annie Cutter, head of the School Department of the Cleveland Public Library ; i] nor of the psychologists, nor of the farmers, of whom there are two; nor of the | policewomen of whom Dorothy Henry is particularly important; nor of the artists ai of whom Louise Maloney is well worthy of mention; these and other occupations 1] have claimed our alumnae; the list is long and varied, and should serve as inspira- | tion to the juniors who are casting about for something unusual to do. ) x i) L : : Forty-eight a ee a tf epee lane a ae nn oem ccm lass gt Alumnae Association Early in 1894, five or six women met in the chapel in Clark Hall, and the President unfolded to them the benefits of membership in an alumnae association, which was to sustain interest in the college among its graduates, to weld firmer the friendships they had made, and, by united effort, to render greater service to the University. These were great and glorious results to be expected from the then eight alumnae, but the years have seen the eight grow to many, and have seen these wise resolutions take root, blossom, and _ bear fruit. One of the fruits is the Alumnae Bulletin, which has in the last year become the Folio, a quarterly magazine, which keeps the Alumnae in : Sic ANNA-LOUISE SLUSSER close contact with campus and alumnae activities. Bacettary The growth of the Association, and the spreading of its members far afield, has required the establishment of fifteen regional branches in the following places: Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Detroit, South- ern California, Washington, D. C., Columbus, Akron, Youngstown, Canton, Lake County, Northwestern Ohio. The members of these regional branches keep in touch with the college through members of the Association and faculty of the college, who visit the branches. The functioning body of the Association is a council composed of five rep- resentatives from each class, working on the lines of publicity, finance, membership and entertainment, under the direction of a chairman from the mother branch. A few years past, the Association members felt the need of more direct contact with the campus, and so established the custom of meeting on the campus one day in November, visiting classes, meeting the faculty, and regional directors, and generally renewing the associations of years past. The day is given over to entertainments, and to a serious Round Table discussion, at which reports on the year’s activities are made. The most ambitious undertaking of the Association is the Alumnae Fund, made up of gifts from different classes and individual alumnae which enable the Association to help the college and deserving students. With the growth of the Association, the fund has correspondingly increased. With growth, too, has come increased detail work, and in January, 1924, the Association established the office of full time executive secretary on the campus, and appointed Miss Slusser to carry on its ever increasing work. In her office in Mather she keeps the files of graduates, and forms a link between college and alumnae. The noble resolutions of those five women who met in Clark chapel so many years ago have been carried out. The Association keeps its women in touch with the college; it has helped to weld firmer the college friendships of its members, and has left tangible proofs of its service to the college in new buildings and in the aid it has given to students. wn OO eS Y + an a. . - .

TuHery GATHER FOR THE First FRESHMAN WEEK. It came to pass that as they sat in Chapel, an Angel came before them in the ho shape of Miss Garritt, and they hearkened unto her voice. } And as she spake, behold, a miracle was wrought, and they who had been Conceited High School Seniors of the year 1924 were turned into rather humble if Freshmen of the Class of 1928. And they became as little children. ial CHAPTER II. FresHmMen. THey ARE SMITTEN WitH Many ILLs. 1 li Unto them came the tribulations of a heavy tradition of Riotous Living, the | heritage of parties, Initiation, Stunt Night, and orgies of all varieties, left them by their reckless forebears. And they bowed down and offered sacrifices to the Golden Calf which was named College Activities. Some there were who dropped soon by the wayside, and others there were who were stricken by a pestilence which the Avenging Faculty sent upon them twice during the year. And some there were who remained and saw that there was a land flowing with milk and honey beyond the wilderness. CHAPTER III. Sopuomores. THry Are SAvep From Evi. | ) And, behold, the Chosen People came into the Promised Land beyond the wilderness, making a joyful noise unto each other and everyone else. i 3ut many devils were entered into them, and they bowed down again to false gods. The greatest of these was the Collegiate Girl, which they created in their own image. ye | pn ae ete A ar NA nt at Y -—— - a sce LS gE ee rr et Fifty-four They worshipped her raiment, her fashioning, her speech, and her doings. They enshrined her in the high places and valued her above the Faculty itself. And the Just Faculty, looking down, was ill-pleased, and plagued the People with huge labours. When they cried out for succor to their image, they found that it was wooden, and cast it from them. Then carried they their prayers to the Faculty; and behold, they were saved. And they planted a tree and sang many songs in praise. CHAPTER IV. Juniors. THEY SEE VISIONS. And it came to pass that in their third year, they dreamed a dream, and, be- hold, the wise Faculty interpreted it, Saying, “Behold, there shall come two years of great plenty for the Chosen People. “And there shall arise thereafter, innumerable lean years. Therefore, let them store now, against the years of famine, that they perish not.” And the thing was good in the eyes of the Tribe. And they gathered what they could of wisdom and pleasure in the third year, which was fruitful. Among the pleasures, there was a banquet, and a ceremonial called the Prom, and another gathering at which they danced the Minuet. CHAPTER V. SeEntors. REVELATION. And in the last year of plenty, they danced again, and sang songs, break- y. y D ] bo edt fasted, wore flowing black gowns, and stored knowledge, for the time was coming D oD DS tan) when famine would be over all the face of the earth. And now it came to pass that while they labored under this burden of work and pleasure and age, a greater dream was theirs. They stood near a deep river, which was the River of Life, and they hearkened to a great voice, as of a trumpet, Saying, “Behold, ye who are heavy-laden with the wealth of college, ye will surely perish in the time of famine, unless ye lay up even greater stores.” And they came at last to the River of Life.

Into the cloistered serenity of this school there suddenly burst a 1 great multitude of very young and adventurous children called “Freshmen.” These | pestilent persons were admitted within the gates of the college three long years ago, and have repeated the deeds of their predecessors with some improvements and with one great and noteworthy difference. In contest with the sophomores, who were their arch enemies, and for whom they entertained the bitterest rancor 1 in their hearts, the proud freshmen were graced with the palm of victory. Where- fore they were much encouraged, and set about with renewed zeal to discover the hidden mysteries in their studies. They banqueted and danced often with their | schoolmates, and, at last, in the month of June, they simulated blue birds for the iv Tree Day celebration. L Y ; The freshmen tarried not in the verdant atmosphere of their verdant year, but a | || were adroitly metamorphosed in the second year into sophomores. Then their | cares were little and their modesty small, so that they pursued their bold and bad ) ways unfettered. They tortured unmercifully the innocent freshmen, unaccus- ) tomed to college ways. Naught intervened to stop the horrible massacre, for the sophomores defeated the freshmen in the yearly battle. When, in consequence, the | freshmen came before the court of judgment of the sophomores, harsh and severe were the punishments accorded to the unfortunates, for the sentences passed by | the Minoan tribunal were most unrelenting. Ninety-six , At last the fiendish cravings of the sophomores were satiated, and, contrari- wise, they turned with renewed ardor to the presentation of their Tree Day play. Here love and romance were abounding, for a golden-haired princess was treacher- ously abducted by a black-hearted villain, only to be rescued by a jester and a hand- some and amorous prince who cast up his eyes to her as she was weeping in the villain’s tower. When the play was at an end, the sophomores, clad in their gorgeous costumes of the evening, marched with burning tapers in their hands to plant a tree on their dearly beloved campus, that it might grow and flourish as a living symbol of their devotion to their Alma Mater. In June, the sophomores watched with bereaved hearts the long procession of black-robed seniors, their sister class, leave the college haunts forever. Ah, but how the passage of yet another summer softened the hearts of the bold, bad sophomores! In the fall they returned to their college as gentle and beautiful juniors. Troops of young gentlemen desirous of their acquaintance forever attended them, and the fame of their charm and radiance spread abroad. Life for them was one long day of gaiety, and far into the night they often danced away the hours. One festive evening, the juniors walked with graceful dignity in the minuet, disguised in bright costumes and white powdered wigs. But one event surpassed all other, for the splendors of the Junior Prom are likened unto the burning radiance of Phoebus in noonday magnificence. Many a junior will re-live that shining night in her heart of hearts, and cherish it in her bosom as a priceless treasure. Now that the glorious year is fast drawing to a close, the juniors look back upon it with fondest memories, but they draw nigh unto their senior year with mingled deep-strained regrets for the nearness of the end of their sojourn, and with transporting throbs of expectation for Fortune’s future gifts. ie ge = Ninety-seven IRENE ANABEL AITKEN Rene In framing an artist, art hath thus decreed To make some good, but others to ex- ceed.

InN Wuicu TuHey ArE RECEIVED AS FRESHMEN AT THE COLLEGE FoR WOMEN. In the fall of 1926, two hundred and forty knights sallied forth in disorderly array. In their midst was soon set up the standard of the class of °30. Well were these knights counselled and well organized; hence their uprightness, loyalty, and honour. Three captains, successively, Mercedes Waterman, Elizabeth Mc- Namara, and Frances Browning, marshalled the host through the first perilous months. Then, at a convocation of the knights, the host was entrusted to the general command of Elizabeth McNamara, as president, and to her worthy staff: Elizabeth Clark, vice-president, Elizabeth Keyser, secretary, and Alice Wheat- craft, treasurer. At the time of the Flag Hunt, their challenged forces were divided into battalions and scattered about the camp in search of the hidden ensign. To the sophomores went the day, and with their victory vanished all hope of escaping initiation at their hands. Though ever mindful of their former valour, ‘twas with fast-beating hearts that, at the final joust, the young knights encountered the class of ’29 drawn up in battle array, with Katherine Goodwin walking to and fro between the ranks, giving orders unto each. Naught might armour avail against the stoutly infantried judges that there ruled their fate. ——————— One hundred twenty-one 4 POLYCRRO DOOR FV Luxury of adornment and courteous wit achieved for them no triumph at Stunt Night. At the Freshman-Junior banquet, the class of ’°30 duly honored and right cheerfully entertained their sister class. Only in May, when Maxine Williams was chosen sophomore commandant, did these valiant knights realize that their prowess was rewarded and that they were to enter the ranks of sophomores. : : ! : ; Part Il. Turey Are ApvVANCED Wi1tH Honor To THE RANK OF SOPHOMORES. In the fall of 1927, it befell the lot of these goodly knights to test the merits of the incoming freshmen. A flag hunt, like that of other years, was agreed upon to see whether the young squires would prove brave and courageous in the friendly jousts to come. At break of day the members of the class of ’31 rose and hastened to the place appointed, armed for the fray. Despite incessant hunting the search was bootless. In consequence, they had to endure the trials of initiation. Unto those who had disobeyed the precepts of their superiors, due punishment was meted out by the judges at a mock court. Thereupon, their pride fell to a proper level, and they henceforth wore a meek and humble air as was befitting their lowly station on this fair campus, and once again the knights of ’30 had upheld the honour and traditions of their college. It then behooved the knights to participate in the annual tournament, yclept Stunt Night. They were led by Janet Leckie, in truth a most skillful knight. A song of surpassing beauty and sweetness was composed by Mildred Maul, and eee = as — was rightfully awarded the song cup. On February 24, all the knights of the campus were royally entertained by the class of 30 at a Martha Washington party, a motley crowd assembled and they made right merrie until the stroke of midnight. Then the sophomore knights bethought themselves of their gallant sister class, and of how often they had given timely aid and counsel. A feast was planned and also a dance at which good cheer and good will prevailed. Tree Day, coming in the spring of the year, was, in truth, a most joyful and festive occasion. Upon that day, dear to the hearts of all sophomores, was planted a tree to be a living memorial of the class of ’30. Likewise, at eventide, did they celebrate that notable event by presenting a play on Mather Quadrangle, according to the time honored tradition of sophomore classes. People came from far and wide to behold it, and were all charmed by the beauty and splendor of the spectacle. Much honor is due to Elizabeth Keyser and her trusty assistants, Alberta Higley, Dorothy Cox, Marjorie Kloss, and Alice Wheatcraft, who com- posed the play, and to Mercedes Waterman, who acted as business manager.

Cordy takes the chair sometimes and Winnie writes the notes, Jean counts out the money and helps us count the votes; While Martha keeps our meetings from becoming very loud.

Four officers are elected each spring, the candidates having been chosen by a nominating committee previously elected by the Council. The officers for this year are: president, Annetta Gross; vice-president, Martha Ridinger ; secretary, Helen Doolittle; treasurer, Esther Taylor. The other members are: Catharine Meyer, Gladys Benesh, Eleanor Iler, Anabel Mil- ler, Maxine Williams, Mercedes Waterman, and Elizabeth Lynch. The functions of all campus organizations fall indirectly under the supervision of the Coun- cil. Its activities are made known to all at assem- DINNEIAA Oa c % = = - : President bles of the student body. The Council directly supervises the appointment of proctors, the Student Activities Committee, and the Honor Board; the appointment of the Haydn House Committee; the Big Sister-Little Sister movement. It also takes charge of the Martha Washington Party and several singouts. . This year we were fortunate in that our president, Annetta Gross, attended two conferences of student delegates. The first, held at Smith College, was attended by an organization of Women’s Colleges in the northeastern district. At this conference, Miss Gross was elected graduate adviser for a similar gathering to be held next year at the College for Women. The other conference, the Inter- national Students’ Federation, was held at Lincoln, Nebraska, and among the representatives were those from London University and from Hawaii.

Every student of the college may become a member of this organi- zation, and is, therefore, invited to its pot-luck suppers, sing-outs, and treasure-hunts, given throughout the year. The cabinet, which consists of the officers, directs the activities of the association. The Orphans’ Party, given at Christmas time, is one of its most important events. On this occasion many poor children are made happy by an after- noon of games, stories, and gifts. Gea ce Wem ea ae The main project of the association is the 300kerie,’ where candy, paper, school supplies, and second-hand books are sold. The proceeds are used to send ten delegates to an annual conference held at Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. The discussion of organi- zation problems by students from colleges in five states enables our delegates to bring back many ideas. The officers of the club are: president, Grace Williams; vice-president, Mar- garet Gray; secretary, E lizabeth Clar k; treasurer, Kathryn Balliett; undergrad- uate representative, Elisabeth Hitchings; program chairman, Barbara W hitacre ; social service chairman, Martha Ridinger ; publicity chairman, Mercedes Water- man; world fellowship chairman, Elizabeth Keyser; freshman commission chair- man, Esther Taylor; student industrial chairman, Audrey Sweezy; Bookerie man- ager, Evelyn Ferguson ; Ag aes Se MEIER ae ana One hundred thirty-four Dormitory Self-Government Association The Dormitory Self-Government Association holds the same important place in the dormitories as the Student Government Association holds on the campus. Its officers are elected at a joint meeting of the dormitories in the spring of the year, and soon after this each house elects its own officers. In addition to the officers, each dormitory has a House Committee composed of the president, the vice-president, and two members elected from the sophomore and freshman classes. This com- mittee meets with the house-mother at least once every month to discuss the problems of the dormi- tory. The only stated meetings of the board are on the last Thursday of the month, at which time - ; . ee ; rA BowMAN the officers of the association meet with Dean Piesiieas Smith and the house-mothers to discuss any mat- ters of general discipline and welfare of the dormitories. All other meetings are held when need arises. The function of the board is to make or revise rules for the dormitories, to enforce these rules, and to punish any violations of them. This year the problem of introducing the honor system into the dormitories has been considered. The one used at present lacks the feature of reporting. The officers of the Dormitory Self-Government Association this year are: president, Bea Bowman; vice-president, Kathryn Balliett; secretary, Miriam Det- wiler; Guilford House president, Mary Nelson; Mather House president, Elizabeth Crandall. pahrr Pe. Les Francophiles Thirteen years ago students majoring in French organized a French club, Les Francophiles, to supplement their class room work. At the time of its organization, the chief interest of the society was the study of French drama. The emphasis has gradually shifted until, at present, the main purpose of the club is to encourage correct and fluent conversation in the French language. With this aim in view, the members of Les Francophiles plan the programs for their meet- ings, which are held once every two weeks. The entertainments are varied and include bridge teas, speeches given by members of the faculty of the Romance Language Department, the presentation of short French plays by members, and discus- sion of current topics concerning France. Open meetings are held twice or three times a year to which the whole school is invited and especially those interested in joining the club. RutH MarsH President The officers are: president, Ruth Marsh; vice-president, Sylvia McCalla; sec- retary, Lucille Watson; treasurer, Mona Gale. The members are: Theresa Baffa, Adeline Borry, Marion Beardsley, Helen Burgess, Yvonne Chopard, Frances Corey, Gertrude Craine, Leolyn Decker, Mildred Dondero, Sylvia Excell, Evelyn Frue- hauf, Ruth Gram, Mary Herald, Marjorie Iden, Marie Kahn, Helen Kelley, Laura Kinney, Margaret Kessiek, Joy Klein, Agnes Knight, Vera Karfek, Elizabeth Mae Arthur, Lillian McGannon, Marie Martoch, Ruth Miller, Eleanor Pickett, Sara Punsky, Edythe Rochelmeyer, Eleanor Serp, [lizabeth Tabor, Florence Tyler, Alice Weber, and Evelyn White. e One hundred thirty-six | lal La Tertulia The purpose of La Tertulia is to further interest in Spanish and in the affairs of Spanish- speaking countries. The annual banquet for new members is held in November, to celebrate the Fiesta de la Raza. On this occasion, Spanish speeches and entertainments are presented. An- other event on the program of the club is the Christmas party, given just before Stunt Night. In cooperation with Les Francophiles, the mem- bers of the club presented a Spanish play, called El Manana de Sol. In addition to the social program of La Ter- tulia, the members take charge of presenting topics of interest to the students of Spanish. “Toy- making in Spain” was the subject discussed by one of the members. La Tertulia has also invited Gertrupe Kotz lecturers to speak at its meetings. An interesting uae lecture, illustrated by lantern slides, was given on the art and architecture of Spain. Many of the regular meetings are recreational and are spent in playing Spanish card games. The officers of La Tertulia are: president, Gertrude Kotz; vice-president, Joy Klein ; recording secretary, Dorothy Schnack; corresponding secretary, Lillian Mc- Gannon; treasurer, Edna Class. The members are: Helen Cawrse, Yvonne Chopard, Ruth Davis, Sylvia Ex- cell, Ruth Gram, Lillian Grob, Mary Herald, Virginia Hogan, Marjorie Iden, Ruth Iden, Elizabeth Keyes, Catherine Krumhansl, Lucille Lanese, Elizabeth Marsal, Marie Martock, Ruth Murray, Dorothy Schnack, Virginia Smith, Marion Stiles, Doris Tellman, Lucile Thomas, Georgia Throne. | 4 A co ea rn ey Fa, | oo a Present Day Club The purpose which Professor Bourne, ad- viser of the club, had in mind when he founded the Present Day Club, in 1894, was that of pro- moting interest in the study of present day prob- lems associated with history and the social sciences. ‘ The membership is limited to forty stu- dents, selected from the junior and senior classes, and the successful completion of one year of his- tory is required for admission. The club holds its meetings once every two weeks, devoting the regular ones to the discussion of current problems presented by the students. A better idea of the type of questions considered by the club may be obtained from a list of some of the topics under discussion this year which in- Gare ees clude: Mexico, Revolutionary Russia, the New eile Turkish woman, the Egyptian woman of today, the development of biography and its relations to history. Besides these regular discussion meetings, there are various social events, such as teas, and an annual banquet. The officers are: president, Genevieve Randall; treasurer, Mary Beck; chair- man of membership committee, Annabel Hay; chairman of topics committee, Anne Buschman. The members are: Irene Aitken, Theresa Baffa, Grace Beck, Gladys Benesh, Ruth Bennington, Elizabeth Black, Catherine Carroll, Edna Chapman, Frances Corey, Mildred Dame, Margaret Denbrock, Mildred Dondero, Emily Eberhart, Evelyn Fruehauf, Ruth Gram, Helen Lowe, Radiance Lyon, Daisy Morrel, Rae Shuldiner, Ann Sugar, Dorothy Thomas, Lois Wedel, Dinah White, Florence Wilson, Dorothy Wood,,Elsie Zilm. i One hundred thirty-eight League of Women Voters The League of Women Voters was organized at the College for Women three years ago and has proved a worth while activity. Its chief aim is to help the members to become more intelligent voters and to instruct them in matters of political importance. The Cleveland League cooperates with the College League and aids it in obtaining speakers for its meetings. In November a member of the Cleveland League spoke to the club on Propor- tional Representation and conducted a mock elec- tion to illustrate this system of voting. There have also been speakers on policies which will be discussed in connection with the coming election. On February 7, several members of the League attended a luncheon for the city conven- Puorse Youne tion and helped in the Proportional Representa- bet tion campaign. For the last two years the League has sent delegates to the National Convention. Besides holding discussion meetings, the League gives bridges and entertain- ments in order to raise money to secure speakers. On March 17, the members sponsored a bridge held in Haydn. Students do not have to take courses in political science in order to become members of the League of Women Voters. The entire student body is eligible to membership, which now totals seventy-five. The officers of the club are the following: president, Phoebe Young; vice- president, Alice Sorensen; corresponding secretary, Esther Taylor; recording sec- retary, Kathryn Greenlund; treasurer, Maurine Rosch. 4 One hundred thirty-nine Parnassus Club The Parnassus Club was begun in 1924 by a group of students interested in writing poetry Since then, interest has waxed and waned, for its existence depends upon the presence in college of students desirous of improving their writing by meeting and working together. In 1926 the club opened its portals to prose writers of the college, and many former “theme- a-day’’ students, who wish to continue writing for a sympathetic group, are now members. Prac- tically every member has seen some of her work in the Sun Dial, and a few have had poems appear in other periodicals. Parnassus is organized in two sections, each with a chairman who plans its program. Officers ME RA ere Ss of the combined clubs take charge of joint meet- ings and business, working at the two chair- men. The groups usually meet on alternate Fridays, and occasionally together to entertain each other with a speaker or at tea. Miss Thomas and Miss Porter are faculty advisers of the poetry club, Miss Barrow, of the prose club. The officers are: president, Catharine Meyer; prose club chairman, Miriam Cramer; poetry club chairman, Helen Lowe; secretary, Virginia Smith; treasurer, Rachel Beckwith. The members are: Ruth Block, Gladys Bush, Louise Cohen, Emily Eberhart, Mary Lou Etzensperger, Laurice House, Lillian Inke, Olive Johns, Mary Johnson, Laurel Krieg, Eleanor Landon, Josephine McCarter, Dorothy Sinks, Elizabeth Tabor, Ethel Weed, and Melba Williams. One hundred forty Debate Club Five years ago the Debate Club was founded at the College for Women for the purpose of creating among the students a more lively and widespread interest in debating. Two years later Miss Throne became director of the club. Every student at the College for Women is eligible to membership. In order to join, the prospective member must present a three minute debate on a subject either assigned or approved by the active members of the group. After she has joined, she is given opportunity to improve her style by frequent participation in debates. Meetings are held once every two weeks, at which time debates or discussions are given by various members of the club. Once a year the PAF Se fas organization gives a debate open to the public. President The club changed its program this year by introducing inter-class debating. Preliminary debates were held between the four classes, and the two winning classes presented a final contest. It was hoped that this competition would increase interest in the club. The officers for this year are: president, Sylvia Excell; vice-president, Mar- guerite Feder ; secretary-treasurer, Pauline Simon. The members are: Gertrude Altschuld, Betty Bachrach, Mary Beck, Gladys Benesh, Dena Cohn, Molly Davis, Lillian Freund, Evelina Fruehauf, Ruth Gram, Ruth Goodbread, Catherine Hardeen, Marjory Iden, Sylvia Kahn, Essie Klinger, Rachel Morsky, Sally Punsky, Mary Shephardson, and Edith Weglein. One hundred forty-one Household Administration Club In April 1928, the Household Administration Club celebrated the third anniversary of its organ- ization with a formal banquet. The privilege of membership in the club is extended to any student majoring in Household Administration. Its pri- mary purpose is to further interest in the depart- ment and to provide practical experience for the students. At a club luncheon held in December, Miss Marie Hines, instructor in Household Administra- tion, and Florence Sibela, of ’27, gave a report on the National Home Economics Conference held at Ashville, North Carolina, in the spring of 1927. Western Reserve University was fortunate in be- Codie’ MeMcem ing chosen as the place for this year’s conference President of the Ohio Home Economics Association. The officers are: president, Lucille McMackin; vice-president, Lucille Miller ; secretary, Laura Howarth; and treasurer, Mary Shephardson. The members are: Genevieve Aylard, Hortense Babka, Martha Bishop, Grace Brooks, Hilda Burkholder, Edith Everhard, Cecile Feldman, Margaret Gill, Cath- erine Hardon, Betty Johnson, Ruth Johnston, Katherine Lee, Louise Murray, Jeanette Scott, Bernice Smith, Ruth Stein, Agnes Walsh, Genevieve Randall, Mary Maxwell, Bertha Grossman, Mary Sprague, Dorothy Gavlak, Marguerite Maer- lender, Jeannette Vixseboxse, Marion Bennet, Jane Porter, Esther Hieber, Alma Ridinger, Roberta Starek, Helen Zink, May Christiansen, Marian Kirschener, Lois Kendig, Dorothy Davidson, Irene Wallau, Lucille Wallau, Lucille Sweet, Alice Behm, Marie Reichart, Marguerite Beduhn, Helene Caldwell, Dorothy Reynolds, Mary Clinger, Margaret Thomson, Marion Detwiler, Katherine Balliett, Marion Weidman, Camilla Stinson. v7. = - ss va One hundred forty-two German Club The club most recently founded at the College for Women is Die Klatschebasen, more commonly called the German Club. It was organized in 1926 for the purpose of bringing into a closer contact those students who are interested in the reading and speaking of the German language. Many of its programs have been devoted to such subjects as the music, customs, and literature of the German people. In the second year of its existence, the German club has taken great strides. The mem- bers recently joined the National Federation of German Clubs, which makes it possible for local branches to obtain lantern slides, pictures, and plays for use at their meetings. In addition to the usual educational programs, numerous entertain- Evit Horrocks ments are given by the club. The new members eg presented a short German play for their initiation, and in the spring of the year some social event is planned for the entire student body. Much of the success of the club is due to the guidance of its faculty advisers, Doctor Schradieck and Doctor Deering. The officers of Die Klatschebasen are the following: president, Edith Hor- rocks, vice-president, Mildred Kundtz; secretary, Margaret Denbrock; treasurer, Mary Beck. The members are: Rose Klausner, Sally Punsky, Grace Colligan, Gizella Jyurovat, Sylvia Excell, Mildred Franc, Irene Witzke, Lucile Thomas, Christine Weber, Rose Hodina, Margaret Gaehr, Alma Kerr, Dorothy Schnack, Bertha Schneider, Ethel Warner, Lisette Meininger, Marie Kahne.

This earlier magazine was in existence for twenty-five years prior to 1917, at which time the first edition of the Sun Dial was published by a group of nine students with Nina Marsten at their head. They chose as the motto for the magazine the inscription on the sun dial in front of Haydn Hall, “Turn toward the happy hours”. The Sun Dial has grown from a small publication of sixteen pages to the present larger monthly of thirty-two pages, containing contributions from Adelbert as well as from the College for Women. Since the advent of the Reserve Weekly, the Sun Dial no longer includes news items of interest on the campus. The small column, Beyond the Tombs, however, summarizes campus activities for the benefit of the alumnae readers. The magazine is, on the whole, devoted to the literary productions of the students of the University, to editorials, essays, articles, stories, plays, and poetry. There are also several special departments: This and That, The Book Corner, in which the latest books are reviewed, and Alumnae News. This year the October issue was dedicated to the freshmen and contained a Freshman Autobiography together with other sketches concerning the new-comers. The last issue, May-June, was devoted entirely to the senior class. The special number this year was the Poetry Number, traditionally published in April. It was made up entirely of original poems, some of which had been published in preceding issues of the Sun Dial and others were written for the occasion.

Varia Historia, as the annual ia was then called, first appeared in 1896, and was a dainty decorative volume, lettered i | in gold. It continued to be a College for Women annual until, in 1923, Adelbert i} College and the College for Women decided to publish a joint year book, named . the Nihon, which means “rising sun” and suggests “Lux’’, the emblem of the University. After five years of the University Nihon, both colleges agreed to resume their separate publications. It has been the aim of the junior class to make its annual mirror the campus life and activities which had been somewhat neglected in the University annual. The name, Polychronicon, which means “many a chronicle’, suggests this purpose. iat In the art work especially has the staff tried to emphasize our campus. ‘The title i page, dedication, and foreword are sketches of the “Tombs”, Chapel entrance, imal and Mather entrance. In both the main division and subdivision borders, designs ia were copied from those decorating buildings on campus. Then too, the color gold | was chosen because the College for Women colors are gold and white. |] “Many a chronicle” both of the past and the present is covered in the Poly- im chronicon. Whatever the literary value of this material may be, we hope that it ) may serve to acquaint students with the past of their college, to keep the events of this present year a living memory, and to present to all readers an accurate picture of the spirit and life at the College for Women. And it is the hope of the staff that anyone who has a 1928 Polychronicon, published by the class of 1929, will feel no need of a scrap book recording the memorable days of this college year.

This club, with the cooperation of Miss Mildred Throne, dramatic director, presents a number of plays each year on this campus. Participation in these productions 1s not limited to the members of the club. All College for Women students in- terested in dramatics are invited to try out. Assist- ance is welcomed in making advertising posters and in staging. However, membership in this club is attained only through demonstrated ability in acti ng, staging, or in business management. A record of the number of points earned by each student in these fields is kept by the club. The Curtain Players likewise assist the Sock a Marta RIpINGER and Buskin Club of Adelbert in their dramatic iat President ; : a r : productions. College for Women students are ] chosen for the feminine roles at tryouts held by Mr. Barclay Leathem, the director | i] of the Sock and Buskin Club. | ii The three one-act plays, presented in the spring by the play-production class, i] also receive the support of the Curtain Players. The officers for the year 1927-1928 are the following: president, Martha Ridinger ; vice-president, Marjorie Smith; secretary, Ruth Behner ; business man- ager, Anabel Miller. The members are: Elizabeth Bebout, Gladys Benesh, Wilma Dauber, Stella Eastman, Evelyn Fruehauf, Annetta Gross, Adele Henkel, Elisabeth Hitchings, 3ernice Keller, Eleanor Landon, Laura Quayle,,Elsie Recht, Mildred Saunderson, JV Alice Sorensen, Phoebe FOU A Las y a nN TEN = SS . ad Sy One hundred fifty-two ELEANOR LANDON EvELYN FRUEHAUF Maryorir SMITH GLapys BENESH National Collegiate Players The development in dramatic activities on our campus and the more complete organization of the Curtain Players created a need for a College for Women chapter of the National Collegiate Players. This organization is an honorary association of college students and alumni who have distinguished themselves in college dramatic productions. For several years the College for Women and Adelbert have had a united chapter of National Collegiate Players, but, as the dramatic programs here became fuller, both colleges agreed that separate chapters would be a needed improvement. The College ‘for Women chapter of the National Collegiate Players was formally installed on Thursday, March 15. Miss Catherine Johnson, former president of the National Collegiate Players, presided at the banquet and installa- tion service. Accompanying the installation was the initiation ceremony. At the banquet Miss Mildred Throne, faculty director, read the letter of welcome to the chapter sent by the National Organization. Marceline Coe, an alumnae member, gave a toast to the initiates to which Gladys Benesh responded. Miss Myers completed the after dinner speeches with a talk on drama and dramatic production. Only juniors and seniors are eligible for membership, which is based on a point system measuring the accomplishments of the student in the field of dramatics. Members are privileged to wear the key of the society engraved with the masques of comedy and tragedy, and the Greek words, Phi Epsilon Delta, which embody the motto. The National Collegiate Players has for its aims the affiliation of college dramatic groups, the raising of the dramatic standards of such groups, and the promotion of distinctive work in this field. The membership of the chapter is as follows: Jean Bailey, Gladys Benesh, Marceline Coe, Evelyn Fruehauf, Helen Hamilton, Doris Young Hartcock, Esther Holcomb, Catherine Johnson, Lotus Judson, Eleanor Landon, Frances Metcalf, Nadine Miles, Virginia Powell, Marjorie Smith, Marjorie Holt Strong, Clara Wochele, Era Zistel. One hundred fifty-three Craig’s Wife Craig’s Wife, a three-act play by George Kelley, was the outstanding production of the Curtain Players during the first semester of the year 1927-1928. The play, produced under the direction of Miss Mildred Throne, was presented in Beckwith Hall on three consecutive evenings, November 17, 18, and 19. Evelyn Fruehauf acted as assistant director, aiding Miss Throne in daily rehearsals and in prompting. The business manager of the Curtain Players, Anabel Miller, ably handled the business end of the production, while Elisa beth Hitchings, assisted by Eleanor Manahan and Alma Ridinger, took charge of the staging of the play. Dorothy Sinks acted as property manager. In the lead roles were Eleanor Landon as Mrs. Craig and Mitchell Cohen as Walter Craig. Both gave excellent and sympathetic interpretations of their lines. Others in the cast of especial note were Catharine Meyer as Miss Austen and Mercedes Waterman as Mrs. Harold. Of the remaining feminine characters, Marie was played by Annabelle Jackson, Mrs. Frazier by Marjorie Smith, and Ethel Landreth, the niece, by Bernice Keller. The male roles were taken by Adelbert students. The following had parts in Craig’s Wife: Firth Smith as Billy Gerk- mire, J. Myron Sharp as Joseph Catelle, Leonard Greenbaum as Harry, and Milford Lewis as Eugene Fredericks. The entire cast revealed its appreciation of the psychological problem of a selfish wife, who married to secure for herself a realm in which she would be dominant and independent. One hundred fifty-four SET Te = er ee - Thursday Evening Thursday Evening opened the one-act plays given by the play-production class under the auspices of the Curtain Players in March, 1927. Evelyn Fruehauf so produced it that the audience appreciated the humor when the two mothers-in-law of the quarreling couple reunite the disputants by a pretended quarrel between themselves. Laura Quayle, as the wife, and Firth Smith, as the husband, gave an amusing pre- sentation of the young married couple. Mary Glor, as Mrs. Johns, and Doris Maloy, as Mrs. Sheffield, entered wholly into the spirit of the pretended quarrel, giving the audience great cause for laughter. The Flower of Yeddo The closing play was a fantasy in verse called The Flower of Yeddo, written by Victor Mapes. The director, Gladys Benesh, had as her especial purpose the portrayal of the character of Kami, the love-lorn, boastful poet, (Lotus Judson), who is captivated by Sainara. She (Martha Ridinger), together with her two friends, Musme (Janet Coffin) and Taiphoon (Jeanette Stewart), play a little trick on Kami to test his faithfulness, courage, and generosity. Finding him true in all these respects, Sainara modestly confesses her love, whereupon all four drink a cup of tea and croon a goodbye to the audience. ee, LT a rE VY | SS URC REE b 2 pa er ea — €e« eo . CN SS — . nee A. a — a One hundred fifty-five _— Will o’ the Wisp The climax of the program of one-act plays was Will o° the Wisp, written by Doris Halman. This little Irish play, tragic and fantastic, was well produced under the direction of Marjorie Holt, a student in the play-production class. The play embodies an Irish tale of the Will o the Wisp, a spirit luring people on to their death. When it opens, an old Irish woman (Cath- erine Johnson) is bemoaning, to a white-faced, red-haired girl (Bernice Keller), who never speaks, her bad luck since the poet-boarder had left. Hearing a knock, the old woman opens the door for the poet’s wife (Eleanor Landon) and her maid (Marjorie Smith) who, afraid of the mystery of the place, pleads to return to the city. But the poet’s wife remains firm in her decision to discover what attraction this crude place holds for her husband, unless there is a woman to entice him. During the night the poet’s wife, coming down the stairway, sees the mute, red-haired girl, the Will o’ the Wisp, dancing and beckoning her to follow. Entranced, she obeys, despite her maid’s hysterical warning. As the curtain falls, the horrified cry of the maid at the window makes the audience realize that the Will o’ the Wisp has lured the poet’s wife on over the cliffs to her death. One hundred fifty-six oe Ralph Roister Doister Ralph Roister Doister, a comedy by Nicholas Udall, was presented on March 29 in Beckwith Hall before an appreciative audience of faculty, students, and their friends. The droll character, Ralph Roister Doister, eager to marry Dame Cus- tance, a widow with a thousand pounds, and sure of her acceptance of his suit, greatly entertained the audience. Merygreeke acted as a witty go- between, first causing the plot to thicken and then aiding in reuniting Dame Custance and her lover, Gawyn Goodluck. The cast was composed entirely of girls. In a short speech before the rise of the curtain, Dr. Hulme commented on this fact and contrasted it with the play’s first production in which even the feminine roles were played by boys. The charac- ters were as follows: Mathew Merygreeke, Mer- cedes Waterman; Ralph Roister Doister, Elsie Recht; Marjorie Mumblecrust, Katherine Goodwin; Tibet Talkapace, Mildred Maul; Annot Alyface, Winifred Winterbottom; Dobinet Doughtie, Janet Leckie ; Harpax, Bernice Keller; Dame Christian Custance, Laura Quayle; Trupenie, Elizabeth Bebout; Scrivener, Isobel Smith; Sym Suresby, Lillian Freund; Tristam Trustie, Dorothy Sinks; Gawyn Goodluck, Marie Corso; and two drummers, Mary Vogelsburg and Ruth Good- friend. Recognition is due Miss Eleanor Thomas as adviser from the English depart- ment. The success of the setting may be attributed to Eleanor Manahan and her assistants, and credit for the costumes to Lois Kendig and her corps of workers. ee EE FO NR RT TI 2 eR a One hundred fifty-seven Other Dramatic Activities Before college opened in the fall, the Curtain Players began their dramatic season with the presentation of My Lady Dreams, a one-act play, at the College Club. This play had been given twice the previous spring. This time it was revived to entertain Cleveland girls about to leave for college. The play presents the problem of the Lady (Eleanor Landon) who is faced with a choice between marriage and a great literary career. Her maid (Laura Quayle) defends Lord Voné and marvels that her Lady should reject such a man. The Lady falls to dreaming, and in her pensive mood comes the Little Old Lady (Gladys Benesh) who pleads for her son, Voné; the Other Woman (Mildred Saunderson) who threatens to take him away; and the Two Adorables (Emiah Jane Hopkins and Martha Ridinger), dream children, who captivate the Lady’s heart. So persuasive are the visionary people that the Lady writes her acceptance of Voné’s proposal while the Old Lady and the Adorables look on with joy. Another one-act play, Fourteen, given March 6 before the University Women’s Club, opened the dramatic activities of 1928. This humorous play deals with the trials of a successful hostess, and her jubilance when the Prince of Wales is sent as a substitute for the fourteenth guest at her dinner party. Elsie Recht gave an amusing interpretation of the ambitious hostess, who finds in the Prince of Wales a prospective husband for her daughter (Elois Thompson), Elizabeth Bird, as the maid, voiced concern over the success of the dinner. On April 17, a stunt was given at the Hotel Statler during the Registrar’s Convention. Its plot centered on a conflict between the college registrar and the students. The Curtain Players also sponsored an entertainment at Fairmount Junior High School to raise money to meet the deficit incurred by the school monthly. At this entertainment the Knave of Hearts was presented under the direction of Martha Ridinger. Again supported by the Curtain Players, the play-production class gave a varied program of three one-act plays late in the spring. Sets and costumes were designed and made by the class. The climax of the dramatic year was Trojan Women by Euripedes, which was produced as part of the commencement activities. This cast was also chosen entirely from our student body. It was produced outdoors. The lawn, where the sun dial stands, was utilized as a natural stage with trees in the background, while stands were erected against the buildings, forming an amphitheatre. This year the Sock and Buskin Club twice received assistance from the Curtain Players. The first play was The Torch-bearers, a satirical comedy by George Kelly. Half the cast was composed of College for Women students, and much of its success resulted from the able acting of Elsie Recht in the leading role as Mrs. Pompinelli. Others were: Jenny, the maid, Mildred Maul; Mrs. Paula Ritter, Betty Bebout; Mrs. Nelly Fell, Kathryn Greenlund; Miss Florence Mc- Crickett, Marie Corso; Mrs. Clara Sheppard, Alice Sorensen. The second Adelbert play in which the Curtain Players assisted was Sutton Vane’s play, Outward Bound. Elsie Recht, Stella Eastman, and Laura Quayle were chosen for this production which was given later in the spring. A : One hundred fifty-eight v, NASB LO One hundred fifty-nine Glee Club In 1901 Professor Charles E. Clemens be- came the director of the Glee Club and much of the credit for what the organization has accom- plished is due to his interest and guidance. The executive committee, which includes the director, the president, and two other members of the club, conducts tryouts to select the new members. Every year the Glee Club gives a Carol or Candlelight Service in the chapel on the Friday afternoon before school is dismissed for Christ- mas vacation. Shortly after vacation the club be- eins its practice for the annual formal concert which is usually followed by a dance. The con- cert was held in April, this year. In May, the club combines with the Adelbert Choir to form a ApeLtr HENKEL university choir, which sings at the Baccalaureate President . é zi) Os Vs and Commencement services. In addition to these activities, members of the Glee Club compose the choir in chapel services. The officers for the present year are the following: president, Adele Henkel; business manager, Bea Bowman; secretary, Lucille Elliot; librarians, Kathryn Hook and Dorothy Mae Schmidt. The members are: first sopranos: Bea Bowman, Evelyn Fruehauf, Mary Hinds, Ruth Hobart, Ruth Homans, Kathryn Hook, Annabelle Jackson, Margaret Persons, Dorothy Mae Schmidt, Marjorie Smith; second sopranos: Lucille Elliot, Helen Hampton, Adele Henkel, Marguerite Maerlender, Ruth Sambrook, Ruth Sprague, Alice Wheatcraft; altos: Martha Bishop, Ethel Cass, Marion George, Elizabeth Keyser, Mildred Maul, Esther Saurwein, Esther Taylor, Jeannette Vixseboxse, Mercedes Waterman. Musical Arts Club The Musical Arts Club was first organized in - 1925, with the purpose of furthering the enjoy- ment and appreciation of good music. Meetings are held twice a month, and the programs are given by members and by professional musicians. Some of the well-known people who have enter- tained at the meetings have been Marie Simme- link Kraft, Edwin Arthur Kraft, Arthur Quin- by, organist at Adelbert and_ the Cleveland Museum of Art, and Mrs. William Wheeler, Victor artist and interpreter of children’s songs. Teachers of the Cleveland Institute of Music and pupils, such as th e Children’s String Quartet, have also been on the program. The outstanding event of the club’s program is the Spring Concert, held in Florence Harkness Jesstz SHANKS Chapel. On this occasion the entire college, as Present well as outsiders, are invited to attend. The officers are: president, Jessie Shanks; secretary, Irene Aitken; treasurer, Catherine Thorpe; program chairman, Ruth Goodbread. The members are: Betty Bachrach, Helen Burgess, Edna Class, Edna Chap- man, Frances Corey, Emily Eberhart, Ruth Fiscus, Margaret Gaehr, Ruth Gram, Minnie Hamilton, Louise Harper, Alberta Higley, Edith Horrocks, Marjorie Iden, Annabel Jackson, Gazella Jyurovat, Marion Kirschner, Gertrude Kneebush, Ruth Klausner, Mildred Kundtz, Florence Lyon, Radiance Lyon, Constance Lowry, Genevieve Mahan, Esther Miller, Daisy Morrell, Miriam Nagusky, Sally Punsky, Dorothy Schnack, Adeline Seltzer, Evelyn Sharff, Catherine Shoen, Pauline Simon, Lucille Thomas, Florence Tyler, Myrtle Warner, Ruth Wisby, Sara Watson, Florence Wilson, Jacquelin Williams, Elsie Zilm. a i One hundred strty-one WP mam, ao OGRE E See The Glee Club Concert Shortly after the founding of the Glee Club at the College for Women, the custom of presenting an annual formal concert was introduced. This event has remained on the program of the Glee Club with but few exceptions until, today, it is an important social affair on the calendar of the College. The presentation of the musical program is always followed by a formal dance: The concert for this year was held Tuesday evening, April 24, at Wade Park Manor. Most important on the concert program was the Nut-cracker Suite by Tchaikowsky, which is made up of six different songs, each with its own atmos- phere. These are: Far Over the Hills, Dance of the Candy Fairy, Russian Dance, Trépak, Chinese Dance, Arab Dance, and The Battle of the Flowers. Mary Hinds and Marion George sang solos, and an organ-piano duet was rendered by Professor Clemens and Annabelle Jackson. The Persian Serenade, composed by H. Alexander Matthews, the Pilgrim Song, composed by Tchaikowsky, and several college songs concluded the program. Two committees were in charge of the arrangements for the evening: the business committee, and the social committee. Bea Bowman, the business man- ager of the Glee Club, was chairman of the business committee and was assisted by Lucille Elliott. The chairman of the social committee was Marjorie Smith; Evelyn Fruehauf and Marion George assisted her. The credit for the success of the concert is due chiefly to the members of these two committees; the credit for the careful training of the club, to Dr. Clemens for his untiring effort and coop- eration with the members of the Glee Club. The Christmas Carol Service The other important event of the year for the Glee Club is the Christmas Carol Service, more commonly known as the Candle light service. This service is held every year in the Florence Harkness Memorial Chapel of the College for Women. It is open to the public, and many Clevelanders other than students and members of the faculty, look forward to it every year. This year the service was given on Friday, December 16, at 4:30 o’clock, just before the beginning of the Christmas vacation. The members of the Glee Club gathered in Mather, and at a given signal marched by twos in procession into the chapel. Each of the girls carried in one hand a lighted white candle, which made an impressive picture in the darkened chapel. The program included Christmas Carols well-known and new, old-time and modern. These were sung variously by the whole club, and by the different soloists—chiefly Mary Hinds and Marion George. This service is one of the most beautiful customs of our college.

If you happen to be a so-called “town girl’, you go to Haydn on first arriving on campus, again before you leave for home, and countless times between those hours. In fact, there is little in the life of a college girl which does not take place in Haydn Hall. But we’re getting a bit ahead of ourselves here; we might pilot the unfamiliar reader through Haydn to let him see and hear for himself. If you open one of the doors to Haydn and enter very early in the morning, or sometime during a class hour, so that you can see something besides groups of babbling girls, you may be surprised at the neat ap- pearance of the shelves above the drawers in which we keep our books, and at the good condition of our fur- niture. Well, that can be easily explained; this year, our ambitious Haydn House Committee, Dorothy Ham- ilton, Elisabeth Hitchings, and Elizabeth McNamara, introduced a set of new rules whereby a student is ap- eines Mrs. PEARCE pointed for every hour of the week to confiscate any Housemistresses of articles left on these shelves and to reprimand forgetful oo eee “sisters” who sit on chair arms or put their feet on anything besides the floor. But now, the bell has rung, and the girls are streaming in from their classes; some of these merely to get books and rush off to another class; a large number, often freshmen, to apply their store of knowledge in playing bridge, in gossiping or in sitting leisurely in the lounge; a smaller, more conscientious group passes on to the tables in the next room for a few minutes of study; though it is still rather early, many hurry down to the lunch room. So let us join them there. Now, if only we were faculty members, we might gain admittance to the new faculty tea room, but students are not invited within, so we shall “serve ourselves”’ in true cafeteria style, choosing something from the delicious display at a price truly fitting the college girl’s purse. I’m sorry to hurry you in eating, but we must continue our tour before the next class is over, for the ae now confined to sitting rooms, will be filled with girls who prefer an hour of sleep to their lunch, and we might disturb them. First, you must meet Mrs. Brewster and Mrs. Pearce, our two dear house- mothers, who patiently bear with our caprices, and interestedly watch our costume making and practicing for Stunt Night and Tree Day, and willingly lend scissors, One hundred sixty-five needles, and thread for any occasion. The needle and thread, incidentally, are popu- lar and in use every day, for even the best of stockings will wear out or run once in a while, and the Haydn sewing basket is always handy. Now, you see, these little drawing rooms make a grand place to study or sleep or possibly to hold committee meetings. Oh yes, before we go on to the third floor, you must stop and have a piece of candy in the Bookerie. The Bookerie had to move into Haydn this year, and now it is very handy to buy your books and pencils and paper and an occasional treat before starting out on a round of classes. The money made in the Bookerie is used for sending Y. W. C. A. girls to the summer conference at Geneva, Wis- consin, one of the events anticipated throughout the year by the few fortunate ones. The third floor, which we will not explore in detail, is a veritable business district. Sun Dial, Reserve Weekly, and Polychronicon are all put in shape in their respective offices; the Student Council carries on its business of governing this student community, and the Y. W. C. A. cabinet here creates the ways and means of converting and entertaining the fair co-ed. I believe we have seen it all now, though I have forgotten to tell you that three times each year, the student body gathers with escorts for a social evening in Haydn Hall. These Haydn Dances provide a splendid method of earning money for new furniture and any other properties which seem to be needed. So, having seen the home of the town girls, we shall pass on for a tour of the dormitories. peri aac Rn One hundred sixty-six =a, 4— {POLY CRROMICON FY AW Inf | In Our Dormitories | To you who see only the composed exterior of our 7 ] | | | y well-ordered dormitories, the bustle and scurry within is little apparent.

There is one thing to be found in the dormitory in greater proportions, we believe, than anywhere else on the campus; that is good fellowship and community spirit. There is no more pleasant place to be ill than here where every one may drop in to share a bit of food from home, or to repeat some choice bits of campus gossip. Here in Mather and Guilford, we have two big families under the care of our dormitory mothers, Miss Phelps and Mrs. Rooklidge. ee fe 4 One hundred sixty-seven One hundred sixty-eight . 3 z o- : 5 aS = = : iB DATED | .

Some evening the first week of school the Student Council sponsors a party to which each big sister is requested ‘to invite her little sister, thereby establishing a sort of social contact among classmates and fellow students. Practically every college has such a sponsor system, or one similar to it, as it is a national movement often under the supervision of the Young Women’s Christian Associa- i} : F = = AITKEN ° “ = ° | all Ne = tion. In the instance of our local system, it is the duty of the Student Council vice-president to appoint : | | big sisters to all newcomers, to see that every new student has someone to pilot ) her safely over the uncertain places that are usually encountered in adjusting oneself to college life. We will all testify to the value of our big sisters. Had it not been for them, how hopelessly lost in the maze of registration we might have been! But now, as to the party: Haydn Hall, one early October evening, was the scene of the Big Sister-Little Sister Party. The lounge and study room, devoid of stiff tables and heavy chairs, seemed to have assumed a holiday atmosphere, 1 being harmoniously and patriotically draped in red and white paper of various shapes and sizes. An unusually animated orchestra provided music for dancing, | |] the evening's entertainment, that is, they provided it after settling themselves perma- nently, for they had to play a few tunes in various corners of the room before deciding that the customary position below the stairs was surely the only satisfac- tory one for an orchestra in Haydn Hall. It is often said that the so-called “pep” is. one ingredient of a successful party, and in this respect we can name it a success, for the sprightly music so affected every one that the dancers bobbed ‘sitters-out” tapped their ‘ about a little more furiously than usual, and even the feet now and then. Judging by the size of the company, one would almost vow that every big sister and every little sister and perhaps even a few uninvited had come to the party. . The other ingredient supposedly making for success seems to be delicious re- freshments.

W.:°C. A. House Party . From the first day of school until a certain week- end in October, the upper-classmen at the College for Women frequently burst into enthusiasm concerning the Y. W. C. A. House Party. Last fall, “Ted” Taylor and ‘“Merky” Waterman were the efficient managers of the affair, and for the insignificant pittance of two dollars and fifty cents we were given about the best week-end of our college years. (This does not apply to those who run up to Dartmouth and Yale and Cornell now and then.) | Most of us arrived in the muddy yard of the Beach Park Hotel some time between two and five of that memorable afternoon, and, after choosing rooms so that no more than seven would sleep in a bed, we spent the afternoon in swimming or hiking. Joe Smith and the Humphrey’s (aren’t we glad “Kay” Greenlund is one of us?) walked in upon us at about dinner time, and, for a few minutes, the former entertained us with music and Mr. Humphrey declared Euclid Beach ours for the evening. A very delicious Saturday night dinner, with the Wallaus and “Dot” Reynolds reigning in the kitchen, was followed by a freshman stunt, Bluebeard Spelled Out, the excellence of which presaged the Freshman conquest on December 21. We all satisfied our long-lived desires “to go on every- thing’. The winner of the “How Many Times Have : | | . A strenuous evening was spent at the “Beach”. | You Gone on the Thriller” contest seems to have been Ethel Cass with fourteen rides to her credit, but we will reserve flattering comment, for she had a head start. There was an interval of initiation, soft music, bridge, and ghost stories before our several hours of sleep. Our beautiful Sunday morning was improved by the breakfast prepared by Doris McGonagle, and “Lib” MacNamara. We received inspiration from the words of our morning speaker, Mrs. Dilworth Lupton, who spoke on the ‘Morals of American Youth”. We all regretted leaving after our wonderful week- end, but Sunday dinner, prepared by Lucille McMackin and Dorothy Eisele, made a very satisfactory ending, and gradually all departed with pleasant memories and happy anticipation of the next House Party.

A most unusual sight it must have been on the College for a “final” could bring the sophisticated upper classmen to rise at such an unearthly hour as 6:00 A. M. When we heard that the occup ants of the cabs were freshmen, we understood. The day of the flag hunt had arrived; the day when ladders were hauled from building to building, when pipes were opened, when every inch of the floors was minutely inspected for the coveted banner carefully concealed three weeks previously by the gloating sophomores. And so they hunted, in ambitious teams, from 6:00 A. M. until 6:00 P. M. Now and then, rumors floated about that they had been successful, and sophomoric expressions became grave and troubled. However, when the fatal hour arrived and sufficient numbers of the freshman and sophomore classes had been assembled in the cafeteria, the sophomores were proclaimed winners by the Student Govern- ment president. The victorious committee ushered the conquered ones to a small closet on the second floor of Haydn, and after some effort, pulled forth the flag from a furniture polish bottle where it had been artfully concealed. The sopho- mores had won. The freshman class with anxious feelings anticipated the initia- tion. The initiation, in the form of a trial, took place in the gymnasium on Tuesday, November 15, at 4:30, and justice was rendered by Minnie Hamilton, chairman of the initiation committee, and Eleanor Selby, who acted as bailiff. The cases, in turn, were referred to a jury of twelve, among whom were the committee mem- bers, Miriam Detwiler, Helen Brown, and Mercedes Waterman. “Freshman Green, the sophomore class finds you guilty of insubordination” was the main charge brought against obstreperous members of the freshman class at this mock trial. Cries of “Fire!” were frequently mingled with the tolling of a death-knell, an occasional “Whoa” and “Giddap”, and loud cries for “Gordon”. After the more serious business of the day had been transacted, a group of freshmen presented a skit, written by Louise Roberts and entitled The Advantages of Being a Sophomore, and concluded it with a song in honor of the class of ’30. Then lighted candles were given to the members of both classes and the freshmen presented with their banner. Every one marched to Haydn Cafeteria for a supper of rice, chop suey, doughnuts, and coffee. The last event of the day was the presentation of a corsage to Maxine Williams, sophomore president, by Marie Livingstone, freshman chairman. VG wrmamesteaaois 5 Y£—|POLYCRRODICON The Junior Banquet row When anyone mentions a banquet, don’t you always think of quantities of food and after dinner speakers? And, of course, you love to go to banquets, for you nearly always have a good time, even, though you may be just a little bit restrained. Yes, we must admit that banquets are always enjoyable, but this par- ticular banquet which was held by the Junior Class on November the sixteenth, was so superior that we are tempted to publish some of the details. In the first place, we owe our praise to the committee which made it such a success: Margaret Thomson, chairman, Dorothy Reynolds, Laura Howarth, Kath- ryn Balliet, and Mary Shephardson. Seated about the tables, in Haydn, attrac- tively decorated in true Thanksgiving style, were one hundred and twenty-five enthusiastic juniors, every one of whom looked pleased to be “in on” such a party. . The dinner was capably served by a selected group of Freshmen, and they, too, looked as if they were glad to be present. Our dinner consisted of Clear Con- somme, Veal Birds (they were called that on the menu), Pimento Cream Potatoes, Parsleyed Carrots, Hot Parkerhouse Rolls, Butterfly Salad, “29 Special,” and Junior Delights. The last two items were cake and ice cream exclusively marked for members of the Junior Class. The faculty guests at the banquet were Dean Smith, Professor Hulme, Pro- fessor Perkins, Professor Bourne, and Professor Deering. After Eleanor Iler had introduced the speakers, everyone agreed that she was one of the best toast-mistresses ), in the College. Dean Smith spoke on the Junior Class and gave some interesting r4 statistics as to how College for Women students are planning to spend their lives. Professor Bourne delivered a rather pathetic oration on the Trials and Tribula- tions of a Class Adviser. He had expected, upon his election, to be swamped by hordes of juniors who would suddenly rush up to his office for advice. By re- | ferring to the periodicals of the day he discovered that subjects for advice would ) likely be the length of skirts, smoking for women, and problems of the lovelorn, and duly schooled himself in orating on these problems, but the hordes of juniors | have never appeared. : I Miss Perkins convinced us in a short speech that it is quite worth while to utilize your leisure time, and Professor Deering expounded humorously and at ) length upon the three types of modern college women. After dinner, we held a Py class sing-out, and thus completed a most enjoyable evening.

For managing the sale of tickets, the make-up of the program, the appointment of ushers, and many other vital matters, we owe our gratitude to the business com- mittee of Barbara Whitacre, chairman, Ruth Hobart, Mercedes Waterman and Harriet Robertson. The judges, too, assumed no mean responsibility in repre- senting such an immense audience. They were: Stunt Judges—Faculty: Miss Throne, Miss Ferris, and Dr. Hulme; Alumnae: Adelaide Zeile, Era Zistel, Elsie Davies, Gertrude Sanderson; Song Judges—Faculty: Miss Barrow, Mr. Brane, Dr. White; Alumnae: Lillian Collins, Marie Simmelink Kraft, Lucille Bailey Hartmeyer, Maude Faetkenheur. The Senior Stunt, entitled “Know Your Line,” was an excellent example of finish in presentation and vitality of plot. Miss Mildred Saunderson was the star performer, for she showed to advantage her dramatic ability by taking the part of a speaker on the subject of how college courses of the present day might pre- pare the student for a prosperous future. Five courses in our curriculum suggested slogans, the ideas of which were enacted by choruses. First, from an “English 3” chorus, led by Ruth Bennington, we learned that a “Slogan a Day,” rather than a theme a day, is the best policy. Next there appeared in fluffy black lace dresses the famous “Beauties,” advertisements for “H. A. 16,” which instructs one in “Adaptation to the Individual Figure.” Led by Elizabeth Crandall, they put forth a very convincing argument. When Dorothy Davidson entered with her “Ruth Elder’s Chorus in Three Flights” we learned of another benefit to be derived from our gymnasium courses. (But there are times when aviators need to have their ears uncovered!) “Get Your Man’’—and we think they got him, for we suppose that “Jan” Cool—the man in the case—was captivated by these “fetching”’ ladies in picturesque pastel shades. These girls, under Elizabeth Black, attempted to instruct willing observers as to the benefits of the Sociology 8 course. It would be fatal, we all agree, to leave out Psychology entirely—but the seniors did remember “Psych” 2. In prim, businesslike frocks of blue and white, Wilma Dauber and her chorus “let out” the “Secrets of Selling”. They always leave best things until last so we'll end this with an exclamation about Phoebe Young’s Follies Chorus. In snappy white oil cloth hats and ballet costumes all trimmed in red, they predicted a prosperous future for everyone who takes advantage of our dramatic courses. All of these choruses, harmoniously placed for color combination, produced a very effective ending to the stunt, and left the audience quite satisfied. The songs which are given by each class on Stunt Night are also a very interesting part of the program. Marion George, senior song chairman, and Helen Lowe exhibited their musical talent by writing and directing the senior song. 3esides the stunt and song committees, the seniors owe credit to their pianist, Catharine Thor pe, to those in charge of the dances, Fay Hart and Miriam Cramer, and to the costume chairman, Jane Cadwallader. - One hundred seventy-six | : : | } Ai 4a i] : ij i} ij i} i if - : 4 if ; : | it : : Ivan, How Acarmine One hundred seventy -seven Senior Cuaieamen Fine Featuners Peoro ano Co. ‘The Hours that Shine’”’ Of course the Sun Dial is a landmark on our college campus, but the Junior Stunt would indicate that the third year class has an unusual. appreciation of it. Or perhaps the stunt chairman, Elisabeth Hitchings, with her committee, Katherine Goodwin, Ruth Peterson, and Margaret Thomson, should alone be complimented for their recognition of the Greek motto on the Sun Dial, and for naming and basing their stunt on the idea of that motto: “The Hours That Shine”. As the name would indicate, the stunt presented the various shining hours of college social life as seen by freshmen. First came the Big and Little Sister Chorus—the younger girls confessing their ignorance of college life and the big ones promising to help them over the hard spots. The first problem was that of satisfying the desire for food, and, as there was a variety of places to choose from, some indecision appeared. The Tea Caddy (Joy Klein) made his “sporting” appeal; The Black Cat (Ted Taylor) bounded in and out; a pirate straight from the Pirate’s Hold (Eleanor Hacken- burg) strode before our freshmen; an “heathen Chinee”’ from Bamboo Gardens (Ruth Peterson) pattered in and out; the Commodore (Lucille Elliott) marched past majestically. None, however, made an appeal equal to that of the dainty College Cafeteria (Ethel Cass), and three of the especially important freshmen, Martha, Betty, and Mary Jane (Eleanor [ler, Ruth Homans, and Katherine Good- win) followed her to Haydn. We never realized what handsome boys some of our girls are until we saw them in battle array—ready to meet the foe and score a few touchdowns. They were aided and abetted by the Fem-Sem Girls for whom the strange calisthenics seemed to furnish quite a thrill. But speaking of handsome men, witness the “dorm” formal. We appear quite as striking in tuxedos as in football attire. And what voices for a serenade! But, oh! How fast the shining hours do progress! In pops a gloomy one— cramming before mid-year exams. It was a warning from worn and haggard crammers to the innocent freshmen. It said, “Do not procrastinate’. And it seems that the warning brought results, for the freshmen came through with flying colors, and turned their minds to skating. It is sad that all skaters cannot be clad in those attractive and patriotic red and white costumes. It must still be February behind the footlights, for next comes the stately minuet. Of course, this brings memories of past and future parties, for Juniors are always interested in minuets. Then, (we note that the freshmen were suffi- ciently impressed) as fit closing to a happy year comes graduation—serious and lovely. A happy hour in many ways, sad in many others, but certainly “shining”’. The juniors were also much aided by the work of “Peg’’ Quarrie, pianist, Margaret Thomson, dancing, Irene Wallau, costumes, and a fine song committee of Peg Persons, chairman, Lucille Wallau, and Peg Quarrie. 8 eae aT OE. ates A OME ca) Re er Ne ee sii linens ntihacinenipialnten ahaa ena One hundred seventy-eight “LET'S CRACK THE WHIP’ A PICCADILY | “SMILE FOR THE SATLOR PAPER BOY One hundred seventy-nine ‘Knowledge, College or Fate”’ - | The Sophomore Class did not center their stunt on campus activities ; instead, they made us travel with them—at least vicariously—on a trip around the world. | Rather wearied of college studies in general, they had hastily decided that such a trip would thoroughly convince them of the attractions of the world beyond the | college campus. However, the sophomores changed their minds and returned to { their Alma Mater with greater loyalty than they had ever felt before. This original idea was developed by Janet Leckie, chairman of the Stunt Night Com- he yf mittee, and by her assistants, Betty Clark, Bess Keyser, and Betty Warner. ‘tp i We greatly enjoyed trying to put ourselves in the places of those lucky college {| girls under the leadership of “Mil” Maul who were so fortunate as to make a tour | around the world and to meet so many interesting people.

And the sailors, who were en ie ee quite thrilled with such charming passengers, proved most amiable and attentive. 1] The good times of these young sightseers began at the very moment of | boarding the boat, where they were attended by ten very “tricky” little bell hops led by Janet Humphrey. A charming flower girl (Mary Hines) also sang to them | a and tried to sell flowers to their sailors. As the tourists landed in England, they were met by a group of austere, but briefly garmented Englishmen with “Bess” Keyser taking the lead.

Besides praise to the stunt committee, credit must be given to Alice Wheat- craft, pianist, to Helen Donker, who had charge of costumes, and to Geraldine McCaslin, in charge of dances.

Freshman stunts are always “different”, but this one was more than that—it was fresh, well- trained, logical, and just generally clever. The freshmen, being aware of the poor quality of the literature in our modern newspapers, sug- gested a reform plan for “Good News”. The evils in the form of Scandal, Bootlegging, Theft, Murder, and Bad Politics were depicted by students and the reform began when a group of reporters were instructed to go to the Col- lege for Women for some news. The choruses which appeared thereafter were all of types to show what superior material our College might supply as news. First came the Endowment Choruses: Dollars, Working Girls, and Education. The Dollars, whose black costumes were covered with white dollar signs, represented the money used to put the Working Girls through school. The Education Chorus made a pedantic appear- ie eg ore ance in dresses designed as books. The Stunt’ Chairman Roller Skating Chorus, clad in tan dresses and D tams, glided into the rhythm of ‘East Side- West Side’. They were surprisingly agile in presenting a true chorus arrange- ment on skates. Next, twelve very little freshmen in starched pink frocks rolled in and out on their Kiddie Kars. These last two choruses were introducing possible ways to get to the College for Women, if one hasn’t a car, and all would have been well if the Kop Kwintet hadn’t happened along and arrested the Kiddie Kars for parking. Have we no beauties? Oh, but we have—even in the freshman class! When five brunettes walked in clad in dark green slickers, and five blondes come from the other side in yellow slickers, they did look rather plain and school-girlish. But when the slickers fell off and revealed ten sophisticated young ladies in “formals”, even the audience gasped, so the reporters became interested. The Reserve men also became interested, so much so that not being able to decide which to choose, blonde or brunette, they had to take one of each. The freshmen had some aviators, too, in white knickers and shirts with very yellow puttees and helmets. These aviators went through aeroplane-like gym- nastics, and then in came Lindbergh (‘ Liz” Lynch), who was to be instructor of aeronautics. The grand finale followed, and as the curtain fell there was sudden move- ment in the audience. Sixteen newsboys rushed from row to row with a very interesting miniature newspaper. The committee to whom the freshman class owes gratitude for the most of the success consisted of Marguerite Mueller, chairman, Martha Bishop, Ruth Koll, and Isobel Smith. A song committee, composed of Ruth Goodfriend, chairman, Laura Bultman, and Mary Vogelsberg wrote the song, and also helped the stunt committee. ¥ One hundred cighty-two � , cea ——_A—|POLYCRRODICON jabs “Ramos Christmas Tea “When icicles hang by the wall” and a Christ- mas vacation looms on our horizon, there comes the Christmas tea,—not an ordinary tea with just cakes and nuts and a “tasty beverage” to be en- joyed, but an unusual tea with all these things, and, above all—Miss Myers’ Christmas story. Now we all know that there are stories and stories and readers and readers, but there are no stories like those we hear at Christmas and no readers who read these stories as Miss Myers can. This is one function to which everyone comes early to choose her place. Nowhere is the Christmas spirit more in evi- dence than in Guilford House on this occasion. The hospitable drawing room with its wide win- dows and pleasant wood fire provides the most charming and the most cheerful place to welcome the gladdest of holidays, and when, as the story progresses, the snow flakes begin to fall and the light to grow dimmer, we feel within ourselves the spirit of peace and contentment that grows with the season. ‘Then in the hush that follows the story, comes the music of the Glee Club—a program of Christmas carols, old, yet ever bringing us reverence anew for the One whose birth we celebrate each December. Miss Myers After this, we descend to mundane things—tea and cookies, and candies, and nuts. There is the tea table covered with a dainty white cloth. Thereon we see a shining silver tea service and Guilford’s best china (to say nothing of the cakes and cookies and nuts); then too, the tall candles in silver holders suggest the dignified atmosphere of the tea. Add to all this Catharine Meyer presiding as hostess, and it can be said with assurance that the Christmas tea lacked nothing that bespeaks the Christmas spirit that seems to say with ever-inspiring good cheer and harmony, “Peace, on earth, good will toward men.” Fe) One hundred eighty-three — =r —_— ts ’ ; @ { | i if ; 1 | Orphan’s Party | fj ! Early in December, the College for Women 1] bulletin boards bear notices requesting that every- | one brings gifts for the Orphan’s party. If you |] happened to heed such notices and then went to the party just before vacation, you were probably very happy to have helped make it the success it | proved to be. X 3 vast year, ten College for Women students ; took lists of children and collected from the poor, nN | shabby homes indicated, little foreign boys and | |] girls who looked as though they might enjoy any | | |] sort of entertainment. When all were collected . in Haydn, then was a session of games, enjoyed equally by College girls and poor children. After ! 1 some time, they welcomed the opportunity to rest 1 while “Ruthie” Homans held them spellbound with an enchanting tale called “Toinette’s Happy Christmas’. After Toinette had been destined to | “live happily ever after’, some of the brave little ay guests responded to an invitation to share in entertaining. After renditions by Tony and Rosy, and Sophie, and Dominic, we were quite convinced that good old LS “Jingle Bells” lived on as a favorite. Every big or little pair of feet fairly danced about as the familiar strains were piped out of little Italian throats. ) | The entertainment came to an end with the announcement that the guests 1 |] would find Santa Claus in the next room (a much altered Haydn study room). With 1 some misgivings and a great amount of hope registered on their faces, the little 1 boys and girls marched to the room as bidden. One great corner was concealed 1 | by screens, and when all were seated, one of the “big ladies” announced that a | | play was to be given by some girls from a nearby school of dramatics and dancing. A delightful presentation followed; before the eyes of a fascinated audience was unravelled the story of three little girls and their dolls at Christmas time. Of course, no Christmas play would be complete without a Santa Claus, and such a hopeful audience could never be disappointed. And this Santa Claus came right HI} out of the play!. The removal of the last screen revealed a big table loaded with | packages of many sizes wrapped in red and green and white, and Santa Claus i distributed them all so that every child had three presents. Everyone seemed to be ) quite delighted with the very ones he had received. Hy The refreshments of home made cake, ice cream, popcorn balls, and lollipops Wd disappeared in a very short time from the tables in Haydn cafeteria, and after ie they had sung “Happy Birthday” to the beloved “Gracie” Williams, the ten auto- i | mobiles were again loaded, and about fifty thankful little children were returned to . 1] their homes.

By nine-thirty their hopes were considerably enlivened, for the crowd was at last gathering. Either the College for Women girls favor late arrival as an indication of social etiquette, or they just couldn’t get sewed together any earlier. (We favor the latter solution). To the syncopating strains of Joe Smith’s Euclid Beach Orchestra, proud princes danced with Dixie belles, bold pirates struggled with blushing beauties of the late nineties, comic clowns performed their antics with demure Dutch maids, and members of the Klu Klux Klan terrified Spanish senoritas into being their partners. The prankish Katzenjammer Kids, Hans and Fritz, pursued and annoyed everyone quite in keeping with their usual manner, and returned now and then to stern reprimands from the “Captain” and “Momma”. Except for the clever chorus of “Bathing Beauties” and a few pairs of twins, intentionally so, each girl was a revelation of individuality. After the third dance, a hush settled over the exitement, for the juniors had at last made their appearance. Margaret Thomson, who had charge of planning and directing the minuet, received great praise from both participants and spectators for her good work. She discovered a novel way of presenting the dance, thus adding much to the program and giving parts to many more jun- iors. George and Martha Washington (Eleanor Hackenburg and Eleanor T[ler quite in character) gave a ball at which several old colonial celebrities and their wives were guests. These guests were presented by a handsome colored butler (no other than Katie Goodwin). After a buzz of conversation, some of the plantation darkies (Ruth Hobart, “Ted” Taylor, Ruth Homans, Ruth Sambrook and Helen Hampton) entertained the guests with negro spirituals. Then, General Washington announced that he would be delighted to have his guests join in the minuet. Stately Virginia ladies and gallent colonial gentlemen smiled at each other and dipped in the beautiful figures of the minuet. Those taking parts of ladies were Ethel Cass, Mildred Dame, Viola Hilgen, Constance Lowrey, Jane Milburn, Dorothy Reynolds, Alice Sorensen, Geraldine Staerker, Roberta Starek, Margaret Thomson, Irene Wallau, and Dinah White. The gentlemen were: Nellie Badger, Kathryn Balliett, Helen Doolittle, Elisabeth Hitchings, Elizabeth Hutchison, Lois Kendig, Sylvia McCalla, Mary Nelson, Helen O’Beirne, Eleanor Prashek, Florence Tyler, and Lucille Wallau. Thus creating a true colonial spirit in their long, full skirts, their tight- fitting breeches and powdered wigs, the juniors added gayety to the party, and after several more dances and delicious refreshments, everyone went home con- vinced that the sophomore committee of Miriam Detwiler, Marjory Kloss, Alma Ridinger, and Katherine Greenlund knew how to manage a party. came oe, Y _—_—________—-y_ 4- 2 en One hundred eighty-five One hundred eighty-six tid At ij a tN c b | + re di a ’ ; c : i} Cll t - 2 iat | ‘7 % i: 77 te af i fl ft ai tet Hi ; : , ' — a5 ‘ E2 On bh Hahd Trials?

Faculty guests, some of whom were in the receiving line, included Dean Smith, Professor and Mrs. Hulme, Professor and Rise eRs Te Aare ' : ” € SE — 3 Prom Chairman Mrs. Puckett, Professor Arbuthnot, Miss Robbins, a : : Miss Dureau, Mr. Brown, and the house mistresses, Mrs. Pearce, Mrs. Rooklidge, ) and Miss Phelps. 1 ; 7 “ e : i f At the head of the grand march was Eleanor Iler, president of the junior M class, who led a long line of couples to the end of the room where ‘Peg’?

The affair is sponsored by the Y. W. C. A., the | social chairman of the cabinet having full charge with the help of a committee appointed by herself. This particular campus night was held on Friday, May 20, 1927, and Miss h J Virginia Turner was the able manager. For several years, the weather had been | very disagreeable, but the spell was broken last year, for May 20 was a balmy spring evening. The aforementioned hand-bills featured Bozo, the Monkey-faced Girl, the Chariot Races, the Beauty Contest and the Chamber of Horrors. How- ever, each of the organizations on the campus had a booth to decorate and manage for the evening, so there were many other attractions to be found. The German | Club served mugs of gingerale with pretzels. The Spanish Club ran a lottery | booth, using enormous cards of red and yellow blocks for the betting cards. In 1 one booth, there was a real corpse from the morgue—surely one of the horrors—; . in another was part of a skeleton. It would be much more thrilling to imagine | that these bones came from some old, forsaken graveyard, but we know of a young lady resident of Guilford House who might easily be suspected of procuring such articles through her acquaintance with one medical student (we will mention no IRENE AITKER names ). a. aii r i Of course, no such affair would be complete without a fortune teller, and iM 4 A : i this one lived up to all expectations, for she was one of those fortune tellers who 1 | leave you with bright hopes for the future. Everyone came away from her | | booth with a beaming countenance. There was ice cream in many forms, peanuts, | and candy of various sorts; in fact there was everything to make you satisfac- 1 | torily sick just as you expect to be after visiting any amusement park. | i} lel . ° . : For those who tired of going about from booth to booth, there was dancing 1] | - in Haydn and skating in the gym, and no doubt there were other attractions which ial we have failed to mention. We hope that this will convince you that it will be 1 1 worth while to attend the next Campus Night which will come on the 18th of May.

Before her, and reaching to the base of the throne, spread a carpet of royal purple figured with golden fleur-de-lis. Slightly to the right and up the stairs from the first figure knelt another. To one watching from Mather Quad- rangle the positions appeared quite devout, but suddenly a thumping noise pro- faned the quiet. Whack! Whack! Whack! Thud! Then— “Ouch! If I hit my poor mangled thumb just once again th is floor will go bare”, and the manager, Jack-of-all-Trades, sank back on her heels with a sigh. “Yeh ?—that’s a shame!’’ came from the region above. Despite all casualties, however, the pounding continued and the carpet was laid—that carpet adorned by the hands of industrious college girls for one evening in the court of King Leodogrance. But then again—some one’s always taking the joy out of life—that carpet was wrong side up. More wounded thumbs, knees, and dispositions to be suffered! But the armor—aye—that was the rub! How we pulled and squeezed the ten-cent-store dish cloth suits — truly beautiful silvery armor — on the buxom and long suffering figures of Prince Lionel and the guardsmen! Weeks of such labor ended in a finished production on the twenty-fourth day of May, 1927. The day had dawned traditionally clear and cold—very cold; the night was clear, but colder, if anything. Fur coats and even a few galoshes, were to be seen the other side of the footlights, while we, royalty, fire-flies, bewitched sub- jects, gnomes, and classical figures behind them shuddered in our thin draperies. Slowly, in a pageantry of impressive lords and ladies, fat little friars, husky guardsmen and loyal peasantry, the court assembled and the play began. Mellicine, the lily-handed princess was sixteen, just the right age to be given in marriage. She was abducted by a scheming sorcerer, and, while held in the tower, con- veniently fell in love with a handsome peasant boy. While captive, she was terrorized by the sight of three horrible monsters—a donkey (and how she could bray), a speechless dog, and a “prowling green-eyed monster of the night”— a cat — constantly beckoning to the fair mistress with promises that she would become a witch if not obedient. However, she remained true to her loyal swain. With the help of Wamba, the Jester, who was also hopelessly enamoured of Mellicine, the brave young peasant surmounted many difficulties and rescued his love from the tower of Kojata. On return to the court, the swain was dis- covered to be Prince Lionel of Britain. In a blood-curdling fight, hero stabs villain. The court is restored, and Lionel and Mellicine are blessed and destined to “live happily ever after’. Who could ever work so hard and have as much fun as the class which pro- duces Tree Day?

For in our play we’re back in times of yore: A villain base, Sir Ingomar of Gore, In tournament to knight unknown has lost, And by the princess whom he loves is crossed, Because she will not hear a coward’s plea. Sir Ingomar, forthwith, makes haste to see Kojata of the black and magic art Who plays right well his evil, ugly part, And o’er the court of King Leodogrance The princess’ father, throws a mystic trance. Alas, the princess, then, is in his power! He takes her off to his dark wood and tower Until she will accept the crafty knave. The Jester and a swain doth come to save The princess from the necromancer’s spell; The Jester stabs the wicked one to fell, And hurries back to rouse the court and King, Although he longs the princess back to bring. The swain, nought knowing of the Jester’s deed, Returns the princess to the court with speed, And there reveals his true and only name, Sir Lionel of Britain, knight of fame. In joust he does to death the villain mean, And wins the hand of Princess Mellicine. But now to you who love a moral touch, Or like an old romance not over much, An allegory I'll betray as such: Our Princess is the Womanhood so pure Which through the ages long that villain wooer, False Prejudice, has stolen off by aid Of old Suppression (by the sorc’er played) And in his forest dark of Ignorance Imprisoned her he has until, by chance, Doth come Enlightenment, the saving knight, To rescue her with sword of truth and right. Unknown as brave, the magic one doth slay, Without reward he puts Suppression down. Enlightenment then conquers with renown The villain Prejudice, and makes his bride Fair Womanhood, now walking by his side. Then when our play is o’er, we'll plant a tree, The symbol for Enlightenment to be.

It comes only a few days before commencement in June, in- ) volving much mental torture for a few busy ) seniors and affording no end of pleasure to the 4 rest of the seniors and the crowds who always | attend the affair. {i Just before the Step Night exercises, the ‘A senior and junior classes hold a very exclusive farewell banquet. At about 9:00 o’clock the seniors march from Haydn, where the banquet is held, to the steps of Clark, or—in case of inclement weather — to the Chapel platform. They form an impressive picture, especially out on Clark steps, for they are always clad in cap and gown, and their radiant faces reflect the light of the tall white candles they carry. When they have all gathered, the senior class members sing as many orig- ) inal songs about college life as the year of their graduation requires. The class of ’27 sang 27 songs; the class of ’28 will sing 28, and so on. The words are illcnengusstpanescenastnasasnnnsinoainntenaiatinenaantie nn re Py ————OEQOO x : mf usually put to familiar tunes, and the content of the songs may be either serious or humorous, usually the later. It is impressive to hear the voices float out into the night to the accompaniment of softly rustling leaves and an occasional chirp. Now and then, one hears the clanging of street cars and the trottling engines of passing automobiles, but the world seems far removed from the wooded spot in front of Clark Hall. This past year the songs were sung from the chapel platform, but the audience which packed the chapel seemed to enjoy it all the same. An especially popular number was one of several verses to the tune of “I Wonder How I Look When I’m Asleep”. Several of the verses made reference to Miss Throne’s petiteness, Dr. Borgerhoff’s French mustache, Miss May’s aesthetic dancing class, and Dr. Hulme’s resemblance to Santa Claus. At the end of the program, the juniors also performed, in accordance with precedent. The senior president, Catherine Hop- kins, said a few words concerning the departure of her class, passing on the senior traditions in the name of those she represented. To these words Miss ) | Helen Shockey, junior president, made fit response, and, as the seniors filed out, _ | | | | y a. each girl gave her candle to an incoming junior. When the third year class had assembled, they completed the program by singing a song to their Alma Mater. Customarily the two classes march to the homes of former presidents William- son and Thwing for a short serenade, but the practice was necessarily foregone 1 last year because of the weather. al ng ante bn ge Nonna ttre mg “} . nomctasncisniarareneseenens cl a | Ai eate ential 4 : : a LS ELROD, A IE ef TTP hp TO A a er OE One hundred ninety-three Commencement Most people are interested in all .commencements, whether they are in the graduating class or only on- lookers. If you have already been graduated, that season brings back fond memories of happy years; if you are an undergraduate, you are only reminded of your goal, of the significance of that event which represents one of life’s turning points; and if you are a member of the graduating class, there are happy thoughts and sad thoughts, memories and expectations. Commencement at the College for Women is al- ways a very impressive occasion, and the thirty-seventh commencement on the fifteenth of June, 1927, was no exception. Professor Emma Maude Perkins, who has been teaching at Reserve longer than any of her colleagues, was in charge of the Commencement, as she always is by virtue of her position in the college. As usual, the march from Haydn to the Church of the Covenant was led by the speaker and faculty members. Following them came the college choir, the junior class, clad in white and forming the guard of honor, and then the graduating class. The program was as follows: PROCESSIONAL—MARCHE TRIUMPHALE ANTHEM THE UNIVERSITY CHAPEL CHOIRS PRAYER THE REVEREND JAMES DE LONG WILLIAMSON, D.D. RESPONSE Cc. C. CLEMENS ADDRESS MRS.

NAM AN 0 1 AT WU JES ( } Od oem, YA) TS A Beginnings of the Gymnasium Department In the days of bustles and hoop skirts, no one thought much of violent exercise for as physical education was then con- sidered; sports for women’ were confined to women, tatting, knitting, baking, walking. Early records of the Physical Education department of the College for Women show that there was an attempt to introduce some forms of mild calis- thenics in 1888. Classes were held in the Adelbert College gymnasium. | Y The next year when the College for | | Women had definitely settled on the north side | of Euclid Avenue, a gymnasium was fitted up | on the third floor of Clark Hall. One exercising room, a locker room and a dressing | | room were the extent of the facilities of the department. Miss Emma E. Sparks, | l} a graduate of the Sargent School, was the first director and was succeeded by 1 1 Miss Ella Jane Morse. | i] By 1894, work in physical education under the direction of the department Ned had progressed to such an extent that an exhibition was held much like the one i which is now given yearly before the Yale-Harvard game. The enrollment of the n entire college was about eighty-five at this time, and, to encourage more voluntary | participation in athletics, President Thwing offered a prize of fifteen dollars each year to the student who through gymnasium work made the greatest progress | | towards “‘symmetrical development’. The year 1897 ushered in many new activities in athletics at the college. ; | Basketball—the major interclass sport now—was not played until 1897 and | only then between the first three classes. A bicycle club and a tennis association | were formed this year and golf was introduced. The department records indicate | that the students took up the new sports with enthusiasm. Golf had to be ta abandoned two years later because of the limitations of space. The course at best ) had only consisted of a fairway in the orchard where Mather Administration Hall � | now stands. ) ) | With the advent of Miss Mary George Clark, a graduate of the Sargent j ) School, to the headship of the department in 1902, an Athletic Association of ) the students was formed and made a permanent organization. : Miss May Becomes Director oF PHysicAL EDUCATION | In 1906, Miss Eva G. May, a graduate of the Sargent School, was appointed director, and Miss Clara K. Clendon was asked to assist her in the role of medical One hundred ninety-seven examiner. Since Clark Hall was devoted to recitation rooms, work in physical education could only be held on the afternoons classes did not meet. Attempts which the department made to have basketball played outdoors met with such unfavorable comment from the press that the practice was discontinued. The public could not get accustomed to the “rough’’ game of basketball which the college students had adopted. Their “rough” game played in uniforms of long skirts, starched shirtwaists, high coliars and ties, and with their wasp waists and pompadours would probably be considered intolerably “slow” by the team players of today. When the college over on the North Campus began to expand in 1907 and the enrollment was climbing up almost beyond the capacity mark, the third floor of Clark was also pressed into service as a classroom. The Physical Education department again found itself homeless. Two rooms in Guilford House were used as an office and an examination room, and the only forms of exercise required were walking, tennis, and rowing. THE COLLEGE FOR WOMEN ACQUIRES A GYMNASIUM On January 3, 1908, the alumnae opened the new College for Women gym- nasium, and new classes, including aesthetic and folk dancing, clubs, individual work, and corrective work, were formally begun. Field hockey was also offered as an elective, and class teams were formed. As a result of many requests for students to teach games, a six weeks course in games and folk dancing was introduced. This served as the prelude to a course in Playground Management which, by agreement with the faculty, was offered to juniors and seniors with academic credit. This was discontinued later when similar training was offered by the Board of Education. One hundred ninety-eight SS Lrotyewronicon : An elective course in Lawn bowls was the next innovation. The bowls were | furnished by the College and the green was marked out on the site where Flora | Mather dormitory now stands. Baseball was also added to the schedule of outdoor sports, and in 1919 archery was offered as an elective. The targets were carried over back of the Art Museum for practice, but, as it became too dangerous for the public, the sport had to be discontinued. In 1915, interest in basketball had become so keen that the department ex- perimented with a new idea of choosing two all-star teams from the best players in the school and matching them in a game called the Yale-Harvard. The follow- ing year, the first track and field meet was given in the Mather Quadrangle. In the fall of 1917, Miss May introduced the game of hylo—a combination hd of football and soccer. Match games were played in 1920, and were watched with = interest by Women’s Athletic Associations throughout the country. Many colleges wa ) for women have adopted the game, and it has also spread to the high schools ll N through our graduates who have entered physical education work. ie In 1917, the mermaids of the college started agitation for a swimming pool | and by giving several benefit dances, they acquired a nucleus which they aimed to 1] increase by similar affairs. However, this fund was finally merged with the alumnae fund and the College for Women is still without its swimming pool. In 1924 the President’s Prize was opened to sophomores instead of freshmen. The next year the “R” club was organized, composed of all those who had acquired at least one thousand points through participation in class sports. In organization 4 it was similar to the “R” club of Adelbert College. During these years of development, from the time of the opening of the gym- ‘J nasium, the department personnel increased with the widening of the scope of its m activities. The first assistant was appointed in 1910; another was added to the 1M staff in 1917. The establishment of the Health Service department of the Uni- versity this year relieved the Physical Education department of its examination work. : “Pray FOR ALL” BECOMES SLOGAN | Play Day was introduced by the Athletic Association this year on a small ie scale. The idea is to allow more of the students an opportunity for play and it | competitive work. Delegates were sent by the A. A. to Cornell University to the national conference of Women’s Athletic Associations, and their reports served a | as the basis for the innovation. As a result of these conferences, the Physical e Education Department also adopted a health code, which students who go out for A sports must sign. The health code provides: (1) three regular meals a day; (2) an average of seven hours sleep a day; (3) at least eight glasses of water a day; [ (4) no smoking; (5) no drinking of alcoholic liquors. The Athletic Association ) board hears cases reported through the honor system. With the varied activities sponsored by the Physical Education department | came a need for more space. Sidney S. Wilson, treasurer, met the difficulty by securing for this purpose the land next to the School of Architecture by agreement with the Museum of Natural History, the owners of the land. The new play space contains eight tennis courts, two hockey and hylo fields, a baseball diamond and a running track. The leveling of the field will be completed this spring and will be used for spring sports. {NX tie UL aaa a, reece OAPI TS of One hundred ninety-nine Athletic Association The work accomplished by the Athletic Asso- ciation during the present year is much the same as in previous years. Between the Athletic Asso- ciation and the gymnasium department there exists a close relationship for the purpose of pro- moting interest in athletics at the College for Women. The Association is responsible for the management of all the games in hockey, hylo, basketball, and baseball, of the all-star games, of the track meet, and of the tennis tournament. Other events, which are planned by its officers, are parties, hikes, sleigh rides, and the June banquet. Numerals are awarded by the Association to those students who have won one hundred points in any one sport, and sweaters to those who have won two thousand points. RutH BENNINGTON President The active members of the Association are those who have earned at least one hundred points in gymnasium work of some kind. However, every student at the College for Women is always invited to attend the parties and the hikes. This year the Association adopted health rules for the team players and an Honor Code for the rules, to be signed by them. Cases of violations of this Code are brought before the Board. The officers are: president, Ruth Bennington ; vice-president, Margaret Gray ; treasurer, Helen O’Beirne; secretary, Kathryn Greenlund; senior representative, Helen Zelin ; junior representative, Elizabeth Hutchison; sophomore representative, Amanda Hunt; freshman representative, Louise Roberts.

The aims of the club are to bring together those students interested in athletics in a more intimate relationship than is possible in the Ath- letic Association, to further a sincere interest in all college activities, and to encourage good sports- manship in all relationships. Membership is open to all students who have earned a thousand points by participation in two or more sports. the. progtam of the “R” Club- includes swimming, hiking, and sleigh rides, as well as bridge parties, teas, and work meetings. The club Lucitte McMacxtn also sells souvenirs at the Yale-Harvard basket- Sona ball game in the spring. This year the club plans to conduct hikes for which points will be awarded. Initiation of new members takes place after the all-star games in hockey, hylo, and basketball, and after the track meet. The officers of the club for this year are the following: president, Lucille McMackin; vice-president, Phoebe Young; secretary and treasurer, Elizabeth Hutchison. The members are: Class of 1928—Mary Beck, Ruth Bennington, Margaret Gray, Eleanor Hoggarth, Barbara Whitacre, Helen Zelin; Class of 1929—Ethel Cass, Virginia Coan, Ruth Brown, Katherine Hangen, Lucille Miller, Helen O’Beirne, Eleanor Prashek, Emma Schauer, Irene Witzke; Class of 1930— Amanda Hunt. ———— I ——L_ a y ‘ - ’ fia ees [= @ a SA 2a ee a nS Two hundred one Baseball Mr. Rabbit Ball, ancient enemy of pitchers, sane or southpaw, made his de- but on the College for Women diamond in the first game of the season, and re- mained until the last. He succeeded in making the sport miserable for pitchers and outfielders as well, because of his weak- ness for traveling out into the great open spaces of Euclid Avenue, and his delight in disturbing the fish in Wade Park pond. Mr. Rabbit Ball is really a myth, but is descriptive of the baseball on tap at the C. F. W. last season. Basehits were usual occurrences, homers were expected at least two or three times during an inning, and strike-outs were the rarity. In all, the sacks which were used as bases received hard wear. Hittinc GERM MaKeEs APPEARANCE All games were slugging matches. Scores of 27-25, 33-13, 49-38 were usual occurrences. In a few of the games it seemed as though a pitcher’s battle might take the place of the usual hit fest, but after an inning or two the hitting germ made his appearance with the result that the score keeper was in dire need of an adding machine to count the number of runners crossing the plate. The batting averages of some of the players on the interclass teams would be the envy of any “Big Leaguer”. This shows the crying need for pitchers who can really pitch and have some amount of control over their slants. Before batting can become more of a test of skill, the moundsmen will have to develop. The sophomore champion team of ’29 came through the season with flying colors. They had the best sluggers, the most consistent pitchers, and support in the field, which always tightened up in a pinch. Janet Storey, “Ginger” Newton, ‘Ted’ Taylor, and “Marty” Rice led in the batting averages while “Lu” Miller and “Shuly’’ Garber were the best of the pitchers. Ethel Cass piloted the champions. Martha Rice led the senior team, while Jerry Lausche captained the juniors and Ruby Clayton the freshmen. Rep — WHITE | The All Star teams picked from the interclass teams furnished the finale to ‘ the season. The Whites were victorious by a 27-25 score.

At least, the entrants in the college tennis tournaments would indi- cate as much. Each class has thirty or more entrants and the elimination contest holds sway most of the fall. However, Pluvius, followed closely by his third cousin, Old Man Winter, encroaches upon many of the after- noons and mornings devoted to the running-off of the matches, and consequently, it often happens that the semi-finals and finals are delayed until the spring. Tournaments are run-off on a class championship basis, that is, members of one class engage in elimina- tion matches until a champion is crowned. In the semi- finals, the class champions play each other and victors meet for college championship. Final events are always refereed by physical education directors from other schools. A cup is awarded to the college tennis cham- pion to keep while she holds the title. To defend the championship title successfully for three consecutive years allows the champion the permanent possession of the cup. Tennis Champion Ruth Bennington has defended her title as the college tennis champion for four years. “Bennie” is one of the best players the C. F. W. has produced. Irene W itzke was junior champion, Virginia Newton, sophomore champion, and Regina Dunn, freshman champion. After the elimina- tion of the semi-finals, “Bennie” and Irene Witzke played in the final to decide the title and the champion of ’28 won. However, the class of ’29 has hopes of cinching the last championship before they leave college and it is probable that their hopes will be fulfilled, for Irene Witzke, their champion, has always lasted until finals. Hiking Hiking received considerable attention this fall from the College for Women athletes. Since the points necessary to acquire a sweater have been raised from 1500 to 2000, the struggle for points has extended to all fields. By a recent ruling of the Athletic Association Board, points toward a sweater were awarded for hiking. Twenty-five points were allotted for a fifteen mile hike which might be taken in five mile stretches. Points to be awarded were limited to one hundred a year for any one athlete and two hundred during the entire college career. Hikes to be official must be sponsored by the Athletic Association or the “R” Club, and must be taken with a pedometer and under the leadership of an Athletic Association Board member. A number of the students on the North campus are regulars at every hike regardless of whether they have secured their quota of points or not. The hikers have become familiar with many of the routes around Cleveland. Usually they end with a steakroast or a visit to a barbecue, for C. F. W. hikers develop an appetite as well as acquire points. Two hundred three Two hundred four Track Results gathering firsts.

At last they had won the right to have their numerals engraved on a championship cup. At the beginning of the season, when the yearlings were struggling to take their defeats as gracefully as possible, and when the sophomores were limping along “shorn” of some of their best players it was apparent that the big game would be played between the junior and senior teams. “The Blue and White will win” was the cry of ’29, while the seniors vehemently denied this. And then—the game was called a tie and would have to be replayed. Again Cass and Taylor carried the ball down the field repeatedly but the backfield of the Pink and Gray stood firm. In vain the juniors fought desperately to hold their title, but disheartened by the unavoidable absence of their captain Lucille Miller, they yielded to a 1-0 defeat. There were few stars during the season. The classes achieved their successes by co-operation and team work. The freshmen and sophomores were captained by Genevieve Aylard and Bessie Corso, while Eleanor Hoggarth led the seniors to victory.

The juniors permitted no class to score against them. | They played an offensive game throughout the season and, as in hockey, the back- field watched the game from afar. The sophomores and freshmen showed good form but the excitement of 4 their struggles was dimmed by the inevitable victory of the Blue and White. Hunt 4 and Williams played stellar games for the sophomores and many more touchdowns would have been scored against the freshmen had not Jones and Hausrath been around at the crucial moment to make many a charging opponent bite the dust. Feeling ran riot when the junior-senior game was called, but although there were many mishaps to both girls and clothes, the game was disappointingly one- sided,—14-0 in favor of the juniors. The lime light was turned on few individuals during the season, for although Zelin and Prashek starred through long dashes, these would have been impossible had not each player “taken out her man’. Helen Zelin captained the senior team, Eleanor Prashek the junior team. Sophomores were led by Amanda Hunt and the freshmen by Regina Dunn. 8 ‘ Standings of the Teams Won Lost Tied X Juniors 3 0 0 Seniors 2 1 0 Freshmen 1 2 0 Sophomores 0 3 0 | Cornell Dartmouth ; | I OtIGMV teziceee es fo at Qitieter a ae ee ee Helen Zelin Naigtshie G DOr. 1a. ia acre ee (suiard’® scanner ee Mildred Jones POMS OWI ee i) ak Full-back:.-150%.

The crimson | warriors had trailed since the first half, but with an inspired spurt in the last | quarter they slowly closed the margin between defeat and victory, and by a few ) | spectacular long shots they clinched the decision. | The last half of the game was as hard on the spectators as on the players. The action was fast; sidelines were tense. The ball see-sawed back and forth between the two teams; shots for baskets were made, the ball many times rolling threatening- ly around the rims and falling to the floor, and again being sent through with a swish of the basket net. The crowd in two rival cheering sections alternated with paroxyms of delight and despair as their favorites slumped or advanced in scoring. , Ruth Koll and Isobel Smith kept the Harvard lines cheering for the Crim- son players while Helen Zelin and Mildred Maul, aided by the Yale bulldog, led Yale cheering. Both teams played remarkably. The outcome of the game was a tossup from its opening whistle. The teams played like well-oiled machines; the passing was accurate and fast on both sides; guarding was close and shots for baskets were at a premium. MHarvard’s offensive had the edge—hence the victory. “Ginger” Newton, jumping center for the Crimson, covered herself with glory. It was partly due to her long shots that Harvard came out on top. She was aided nobly by Lucille Miller and Marian Hamlin, who acted as pivot men for | most of Harvard’s passes. ie, Eleanor Hoggarth, four years a Harvard veteran, distinguished herself on the defense, and Helen O’Beirne and Violet Hausrath were the other guards. Grace Williams was the shooting star for Yale, aided by Regina Dunn and “Kay” Balliett. Ruth Bennington, as captain, not only piloted her team skillfully in pinches, but also played a stellar role as guard. Ethel Cass and Elizabeth Hutchison were other valuable cogs in the defense. | Preceding the game a physical education demonstration was given. The program included apparatus work, tumbling, class drill, clogging, dancing, and clubs. Between the halves of the game, numerals, sweaters, and cups were awarded by Ruth Bennington, president of the Athletic Association. Numerals went to those who made class teams as regulars, and cups to the championship teams. The class of ’28 won the hockey cup, while hylo and basketball for the second year were presented to the junior class. Sweaters were presented to four. Since the necessary points have been raised to 2000, it has become more difficult to achieve this highest athletic honor. A a +, JuNIors AGAIN CLAss CHAMPIONS With the Yale-Harvard acting as a finale to another basketball season, the team of ’29 retained its crown as basketball champions. Having narrowly escaped the distinction of the title in their freshman year, they came back with full force in their sophomore year and established claim; in the junior year, they defended it from all comers. This year the juniors had a struggle in retaining the title, but, even though close pressed by seniors, the “team of champions” came through with colors flying, captained by Elizabeth Hutchison. .

Sweaters | | ial “Sweaterphobia’” was the name used in a sport feature to describe a disease [ - +—— — eS ae _— Pa) YER TTI som « CY LI POLYCPRODICON | im which has been striking College for Women athletes at intervals with varying | degrees of intensity. This sweaterphobia is prevalent about the time of the Yale- || Harvard game and the Athletic Association banquet—the only two occasions during | the year when “R” sweaters are awarded to women athletes. And all because the A. A. Board two years ago decided that under the old requirement of 1500 points too many students were winning sweaters, and honor of award was thereby lowered. So, with th is attitude, they promptly raised the { s quota of necessary points to 2000, which meant that to obtain a sweater—which is the highest athletic distinction at the C. F. W.—it was necessary to play on 1 every class team as a regular and make all-star teams besides. : é é : ; ? Sweaterphobia, then, is accompanied by a fever of point getting, and strikes | those whose ambitions center around gaining the coveted distinction of an “R” . sweater, and whose total number of points hovers near the goal. The symptoms first appear when certain athletes go around with a harrassed air and spend countless hours pouring over figures. The gym office is beseiged with demands from young hopefuls to see the point file. Then enters more i} serious stages when only a few points are missing, and particularly when these iP, points must be secured some other way than by team or all-star honors. Then the desperate aspirants begin to look up the schedule of hikes. Points are only given for fifteen-mile hikes and twenty-five points is the maximum to be awarded. Va. For the more adventurous ones who disdain blisters and sore muscles and “a prefer to gain their points in a hurry there is always the opportunity of points by individual stunts in the gym. There are often a few resultant bumps and bruises when the athletes perform such feats as climbing up one rope to the ceiling, switch- ing to another in mid-air and coming down that one and then repeating the entire process. C. F. W. athletes, whether they choose blisters or bumps, lead a strenuous life—when sweater time comes around. Of course, for those who chafe under the hardship of earning 2000 points through three or more years of work there is always the alternative of breaking a im world record in track. Although many wagons have been hitched to their particu- bed | lar star, no one has ever succeeded in breaking a world record. However, it still remains the quickest way to achieve a sweater. figs If the athlete is not anxious for the sweater, the Athletic Association makes 1} concessions in rigid requirements by providing for the award of an old English ial “R” to any athlete who breaks a college record in track. Three girls.in school iat now have achieved their letter through this method. They are: Eleanor Prashek, iat the star pointer of ’29, Lucille Miller, who holds the basketball throw record,— also of ’29,—and Geraldine Missbach, hurdler. 1 To earn an “R” sweater is a real achievement which only a few obtain. Only . four seniors who came out for sports have succeeded. They are Ruth Bennington, Eleanor Hoggarth, Lucille McMackin, and Phoebe Young. Three juniors were also honored: Elizabeth Hutchison, Esther Taylor, and Lucille Miller. - 2 . 4 eee = Ve, 7 — : —— Sao £ ee eg) | Oe ane ee a ; = Two hundred sixteen .

Two lundred thirty-one a }, y Y £—PoryaRRopiaon Freshmen Weak Two hundred green young freshmen trooped religiously into the chapel to attend the third of a series of lectures during “Freshmen Week’. For some reason they were not so excited as they had been on the occasion of the first meeting. The topic for this morning’s lecture was “How to Study’. As the subject was announced a groan went through the crowd, for hadn’t most of them been graduated from high school in the upper third of their class? However, even though they thought they knew all about the methods of study, the “sub’’- freshmen dutifully took down almost verbatim what the speaker of the morning had to say. But, before the lecture was half over the less conscientious members of the audience began to fidget. Those in the front row wished they had had sense enough to sit farther back but, of course, they couldn’t get up and walk back now—that just wasn’t done! One by one, pens stopped their ramblings across the pages of various sizes and kinds of note-books and the poor tired freshmen sought any means of diversion at their command such as playing “tit-tat-toe” and reading the titles of songs in the hymn books. Fifteen minutes after starting to close his speech the speaker sat down. His retirement was met with an almost universal sigh of relief. The master of ceremonies rose and told them that they were to have a recess. The gym instructor’ was to have charge of it. The speaker had hardly finished when the freshmen squeezed out of the doors of the chapel. They assembled around the Sun Dial and the gym teacher announced that they’d have several Editor’s Note: “Weak” is not misspelled.

The would-be sophisticated members of the group voiced their | disgust at this childishness. However, they joined in, but very reluctantly, and | soon were dashing around with the less dignified ones. | This happiness was short-lived, for they were again called to the chapel, this time for a talk stressing good health given by the head of Physical Education de- partment. They were told that baths were essential and not only the proverbial _ Saturday evening one. This remark was met with much snickering and remarks about Saturday night. The freshmen were given a list of good health habits which they were to perform if they hadn’t already done so. The gym teacher then told them that it was “‘very bad form” to wear red and purple for they had a psychological effect on men. Again—much snickering from the audience. They really enjoyed this lecture and were sorry when it was over. The girls were again excused. This time for lunch; afterwards, they were given a psychological test in the gymnasium. This was the last of the tiresome part of “Freshmen Week.” The social side was to be the greatest event of their sub-freshmen life—a reception given by the faculty on the following night. The next evening came and with it a host of freshmen. They were all dressed up in their best “bibs and tuckers.’’ Some even came dressed formally for this auspicious occasion. Most of them were ill at ease for they had to go down the receiving line to present themselves to the faculty. But this ordeal was soon forgotten when the orchestra started to play. They danced until refreshments were served and then after eating as much as they possibly could, the freshmen left. The delightfully enjoyable “Freshmen Weak’’ was over. 2 Many 2’s The 2 of them went ‘in 2 the house when he said, “Come 2 my arms,” 2 the girl he loved. “We will | go 2 the West, where we 2 can live like 2 love birds.” “2 late,” she cried, “I am a wife, Tes 2 bad 2, for I love yours, .

She is a member of the Rig Sorority. Miss Maxine Williams is mistress- in-chief of the Sophomore Class. For her intellectual ability she has been made mascot of the Fly Paper Kappa society. She is cheerleader of the exclusive League of Lady Hooter’s organization. One of her most startling achievements was carrying the spade on Tree Day. The dignity of Miss Elizabeth Lynch certainly entitled her to the office of Freshman Charwoman. 7 With promotion she became Presi- dent of the younger group. She is leader of the great Freshman Per- mission Club and a junior member of Les Francophiles. Her greatest charm lies in the fact that she is a most interesting prospective soph- omore.

To the girl who lazily reclines over at least three chairs in the library, uses a whole table to spread out her books, hats, handkerchiefs, etc., leaving you hanging on to three inches of it and then borrows your ink, fountain pen and paper ? To the teacher who says, “Don’t worry about this exam, it’s only a class exercise and if I were you I’d go to the movies the night before it,’ and then counts your exam as your whole term grade? To the girl who is always glad when Case and Reserve play each other be- cause one of them is sure to win?
