l Who We Arc' ho are we? That's a good question, cover- ing a multitude of things. ln fact it could easily be stretched into a sociological problem. VVe are blondes, brunettes, tall ones, short ones, extremely intelligent people and just average students. We are engaged, married and free lance. VVe are introverts, extroverts and normal. VVe come from all over these United States of America and from Puerto Rico, Canada, Turkey, Venezuela, England, Norway and Creece and a wonderful town known as Baltimore. VV e are a cross section of all the girls of the world-we are the lucky ones, the ones to reap the reward of a college education. There are about eighty-hve hardworking pro- fessors in our college world who do their best to see that we know what we should know. Through exams, finals, term papers and hundreds of lec- tures they are there beside us-dejected when we fail, plugging for us when we're on the up- , w-3-. 4,3 ff I X . ti + f l r , . ff? 1 4 - ' , -1 .:,'y ,. :fir l f l T 1 l fl N 'i'ltf1f:gi1rf'- ' T .

Wfho will ever forget Dr. Shields' stimulating talks and the way she makes you sit up and think, Dr. Callagher's funny anec- dotes about her travels in Europe, the spirit of art that Miss Averill makes so contagious, Dr. McDougle's theories on marriage and the family, Dr. Beatty's description of the marital problems of Henry VIII-all the fascinating, learned, lec- tures that we hear in the course of four years. Not so well known as the faculty, but working busily are the administrators. They make sure that everything is running smoothly. Like stage directors they set thc scene-they know all about everything from Couchcr Bank to the electric bulb that just went out on the third floor. They take care of our world's foreign relations and supervise the construction of the Towson campus. They head the halls, watch our food and, all in all, take very good care of us. But, like all good adults, they know when to stop and leave quite a few responsibilities in our hands. For that reason, we have our Students' Organization, the City Cirls' Organization, judi- cial Board and Tone Committee. Here, during our college life, we learn many things at once, and, perhaps, the most important thing of all is thatwe get into the habit of being good citizens. Other worlds have their social classes, we have our academic divisions. Freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors-each one a big step forward. Once in a while, during a few spare moments, We sit down, release our minds, look at ourselves objectively and with a gasp realize how much has happened and how much we have changed since we Hrst entered school. The seniors realize this development, this change, most clearly. Their days are numbered, and as one by one they walk across the stage and solemnly receive their diplo- mas, they know that they are sorry to leave, but that they have been well prepared and are quite ready to face the challenge of the future. And the rest of us stay happily on, till our day comes, in our college world ....
