industriously went to First Aid Classes and knitted for the Red Cross. We became accus- tomed to the fact that many of our brothers and friends were in the Army, and we saw other friends in the uniforms of the WAGS and the WAVES, as well as in the slacks of the Bendix worker. Before we were quite accustomed to this Change, the year ended, and at the beginning of the next year we found ourselves living in the new dormitory Of Mary Fisher Hall. We learned to ride trolleys and study at the same time. We are proud that we were the pio- neers, proud that we were able to introduce our lllittle sisters to the new Goueher. We learned what fun it is to be semi-important personages 0n the campus, and we had all the joys of majoring with none of the dark Clouds of eornprehensives hanging over our heads. Before we had a Chance to catch our breath, Step-Singing had come and we were standing on the steps of Goueher Hall singing uWe are the Seniors? It was indeed miraculous. Our Senior year has been all that we had so eagerly expected. With eomprehensives al- ways before us, we studied harder than the freshmen of four years ago would have thought possible; with the other classes relying on our leadership, we plunged into the re3ponsibilities of going to college in a world grown increas- TONE COMMITTEE N.

It has been hectic at times, but always there was the compensation of feel- ing that we could play a small part in the large picture of the nation at war. All the little festivities and customs of col- lege have been doubly important to us this last year. We watched Convocation, and could hardly believe it would be our last; Thanks- giving Dinner and the movies of Goueher afterwards only served to remind us of our last four years; we practiced with special diligence for Sing-Song and managed to better our ree- ord by coming in second; and on May Day we crowned a Queen from our own class, and watched a court which, we were firmly eon- Vineed, was the loveliestwe had seen. Senior Week came; caps and gowns were the order of the day. We went to Garden Party and chatted with the faculty; we stood on the steps of Goueher Hall and sang the songs of our four years, while we watched the sophomores holding the Daisy Chain and realized that only a short time ago they had been our timid lllita tle sisters. Finally came Commencement, diplomas, and that Challenge to meet the world which had seemed so distant four years ago. This time it was our turn; our four years had gone. 25
