roaming the Maryland meadows in search of flowers for the seniors, daisy chain. The Service Activities Program sponsored a dance with the oHicer candidates at Aberdeen for the class of ,46-n0 wonder we see all those gold bars floating around the campus! Sing- Song, with Ruth Ann VVinslow.as Chairman, marked the half-way point of an exciting year. The singing was led by Carolyn Heltner, under whose direction the class sang its way into Erst place. Looking back over the past months few sophomores forgot the Sunday morning break- fast to which Dr. and Mrs. W inslow, advisers 0f the class of ,46, invited them. iiPancakese pancakes and sausage, one girl was heard mur- muring ecstatically after her return. With characteristic enthusiasm they entered into other school functions. The Service Pro- gram beneEted by their active support, and they swelled the ranks of many of the campuss clubs. The ofEcers 0f the class of 746 were: Betty Sneeringer, president; Margaret Ann Murray, vice-president; Mary Jane Hoskins, secretary; Ruth Feigenbaum, treasurer; Mary Louise Pfaff, recorder of points; and Mary Carroll Abell and Carol Reisinger, sergeants at arms. JUNIOR CLASS College activities for the Juniors begin dur- ing the summer when they receive the names and addresses of their freshmen sisters-to-be. Initiating little sisters into life at Coucher; steering them away from pitfalls; introducing them to the faculty at Freshmen Reception are duties reserved for the Juniors. This year, with 20 Susanna Eby as Chairman of Junior Activities, they did a noble job. Under the leadership of Ellen Fehsenfcld and Norma Jean Perkins, the Juniors went all out for Sing-Song. Even though the Junior iijinx appeared again this year, and the Inn- iors did not win, the college is still singing snatches of the Junior songs. DONNYBROOK FAIR is the special project of the Junior Class, and its gift to the Seniors. After a year of ilblood, sweat, and tears and heroic eFforts, it was a wonderful feeling to present the first copy to the president of the Senior Class at Senior Chapel. The Juniors have made famous the lament that they are always fete-ing, but never fete-ed. Nevertheless, they look forward to escorting and entertaining the Seniors at the Junior- Senior Banquet. This year, it was a War- Banquet of dessert and coffee, held in the Coucher Rotunda instead of the Maryland Casualty Hall, but none the less gala. A new innovation was the presentation of wills, which everyone enjoyed. The Juniors hostessed at President and Mrs. Robertsonls reception, and ushered at Senior Step-Singing. They came into their own dur- ing Graduation Week, at the Junior Garden Party. Under Janet Hoffman's capable direc- tion, Garden Party was a success. Sunshine, June breezes, bright summer clothes set the keynote for a pleasant farewell to being Juniors. Our class oilicers succeeded in leading us through a year of happiness and good times: Peggy Bichy, President; Nancy Suisman, Vice- president; Sonja Johnson, Secretary; Betty Levy, Treasurer; Blanche Agler and Josephine Lewis, Sergeants-at-arnis.

FRESHMAN CLASS Something new has been added to Goucher College. Yes, the Class of 47, no less. W hen Coucher swung open its doors last September, in trotted one hundred and sixty-three liFreshe ies of all sizes and shapes. They were a bafv Hed group for awhile, but after their Junior Sisters and Faculty Advisers came to their aid, all was smooth sailing, and the Freshmen dis- covered their own special niche at Goucher. After enjoying a week of Spirit Parties, the Freshmen at Mary Fisher reciprocatcd by en- tertaining upperclassmen with skits on college. There soon followed the experience that comes just once in every Goucher girl's college life . . . the Freshman Mixer. And, we might add, the A.S.T.P. joined the traditional Hopkins freshman class to add to the fun. As time passed Miss Frosh became a real part of the college as she participated in the many traditional activities. Sing Song was anxiously awaited by all classes, but the Fresh- men were more than determined to make their hrst performance good. With Dolly Coultas as Chairman and Nicki Jackson as leader, and with lots of brand-new Class spirit, they knew they couldrft fail. And when the big night came the Freshmen iidid themselves proud by tying with the Seniors for second place. The next big event on the freshman calen- dar was the AA. Vaudeville Show in which everyone did her bit. Then came the much talked of Winter Cotillion, and the Freshmen fought along with the other Classes for tickets and for the other essential, a date. For those who were lucky enough to obtain both, the affair was a great success. May Day was a new and happy experience for Freshmen. They found that they were able to contribute as much as other classes to the festivities, and they did it with the Spark ling enthusiasm typical of the young ,uns. Now that the year is over the Freshmen look back 011 their first year as lots of fun and lots of work, and they look forward eagerly to three more years of the same. The class ofEcers for 1943-44: President, Betty EliasOn; Vice President, Dolly Coultas; Secretary, Betty Tilt; Treasurer, Maryann Zinn; Sergeants-at-Arms, Jean Hutchins and Elizabeth Roop; Recorder of Points, Elaine Lonnquest. SOPHOMORE CLASS Cries of iidarling! and uoh, it was wonder- ful! heralded the return of the sophomore Class to Mary Fisher Hall and to the realiza- tion that they were bin. They needed no map of the dorm this year and found a new thrill in being able to initiate others into the secret of getting from West House to the book store for the greatly-desired milk and crackers at ten. Home again, they whizzed from the registrarls office to their advisofs ofhce and then with amused and sympathetic faces they directed freshmen through the haze of the first day of Classes, conferences and cokes. Sophomore seemed to be synonymous with service, for soon they found themselves assumv ing the traditional dutiesewaiting on tables at Thanksgiving Dinner, happily donning white dresses to serve at Garden Party, and then 19
