just the right tone for gaucher atmosphere Deborah McCormick, Chairman, reviews the rules once more with her committee. Seated on the bench are M. I.Paler1110, A. Hickman, L. Goldsmith, R. Thompson, E. Spencer, I. Turn- bull, I. Corleto, M. Strawhecker. Standing are: P. Sholtz, I. Akehurst, N. Brown, C. Upstill, A. Burridge, M. Braithwaite, S. Blakeslee, P. Trotter, and P1 Porter. Student Org: Good Gaucher Government I dont agree. iiMaV I hear a motion that we accept the proposed idea? liVVhat do you think? Discussions and manyevoiced opinions leap out at us as we pass a room in Van Meter 011 3 Mon- day evening. liWhatls that all about someone asks Why that s our Student Org. speaking. It s the voice of the Student bodV which fairly shouts with new ideas and solutions to age-old problems. The Foreign Student Fund led to blazing glory by the colorful torches of the Curtis Campaign was aided on all sides again this year by the suc- cessful sales of crew hats beer mugs, and sweat shirts. In the line of improvements we have the newly organized Bulletin Board Committee. Blazers and Goucher Rings will add a link to the fast growing ivy-covered tradition for the second consecutive year. Last, but not least, we have the addition of two fine organizations to our campus activities: the Music and Fine Arts Clubs. That the hard work of the Executive Board is backed by the Student body is evident. The voice of StUe dent Org. has become one we are all proud to call our own! Therels more than meets the eye behind the attractive and reasonably dignified girls 011 Goucher's county campus. A bit of subterfuge on the part Of our Tone Committee plays a large part in this girlls college phenomenon. Comprised of a Chairman and a number of representative seniors, the omnipresent group has a well-earned reputation for curbing ultra-infonnal dress for Baltimore shopping; keeping a steadying hand on the shoulders of those who would trample on the new grass in their haste to go to classes; issu- ing warning notices to overexuberant observers of noisV hours; and in more subtle ways, setting the example of the real Goucher Girl . 21

The Junior Class. . . toward new horizons with their old spirit subsiding-from the silly elation of wise fools t0 the knowing ways of Juniors. Growing up is a difEcult process but sharing the experiences of Junior year with the eager faces of freshmen sisters surrounding us bring back to mind the anxiety and excitement of our own Erst tastes of Gaucher . . . mFowson, pleasef, with pride to the Erst cabdriver who ever met us at Penn Sta- tion . . . and think of the many we,ve seen since then! . . . but here we go again, OH 011 the raherah track that won us Sing-Song wonderfu1-d0 you think it was the red shirts that did the trick or that grin on Iile face as she led us through our songs? . A . and then we sat stunned, absolutely bewildered as the announcements were made and Miss DeFord stepped out of Medieval Poetry to tell us. Medieval you say? To be truthful, I don't know if Chaucerts considered medieval or not . . . Chaucer's line A fool caunoght be stille sure seems to apply to us . . . ttBe still, the music rises about us and the Music Carnival Opens. We worked on that ,til paint dripped from our weary Hngers and our books lay neglected and we felt right hollow. Here we go round the prickly pear, the prickly pear, the prickly pear, Here we go round the prickly pear at hve dclock in the morning. . . . But we still sleep past five although the alarm clock dances on the dresser disturbing our dreams of old age creeping up and salad days gone for ever and next year Well be seniors . . . I can,t believe it, can you? I still feel awfully sophomoric, but we just cant be that way, girls, it really is time we were 22
