Potter. Her charming personality, her unselfish devotion to Lascll and its students are to all ol' us an inspiration. Herself a graduate ol' Lasell, in the class of 1880, she has taken a vital part in making Lasell the line institution that it is today. None of us will ever lorget the thrill we felt the first time we at- tended one ol' Nliss Potteris Sunday night White Dove meetings. In that comlortable room in Bragdon we were carried lar away from the cares ol' the world by the soothing, quiet voice of our gracious hostess. The seniors will also remember Miss Potter's birthday dinner, always one ol' the memorable occasions of the year. Because ol' her personal charm, her deep concern lor our well being and future success, and her untiring devotion to the college, Miss Potter has won the lasting devotion ofthe gratelul Class of 1943. L51 Dr. and Airs. Winslow PRESIDENT We take this opportunity to thank our friend and College presi- dent, Dr. Guy M. Wiiisloxv, for his patient understanding during our two years at Lasell. Always ready to guide us, he has shown a vital interest in all our problems. It is with a deep feeling of respect for his unerring judgment and his deep sincerity that we bid him farewell, knowing that in the years to come he will always represent to us the true spirit ol'Lasell. lfifl DR. GUY M. WINSLGW TIC Lasell is a school rich in traditions, many of which are as old as the school itself Each year, for one reason or another, some of the older traditions are replaced by newer ones, but certain customs al- ways remain. Though not all traditions are as spec- tacular as Cap and Gown or the june F ete, as hilarious as Junior Week, as excit- ing as River Day, or as respected as the seniors, rights to the Crowas Nest, our daily life here at Lasell is made up of various events which are so much a part of us that we cannot help regarding them as traditions. How would we get along one day with- out reading the bulletin, signing out ofour houses, or running to Miss Beede's office for something? What a strange week it would be without Crphean on Wednesday, and Mrs. Sypher at Assembly on Thursday. Would a day be normal without some of us having to go to gym because we've tak- en all our cuts, without a quick bridge game in the Barn during a iree period, without singing in the dining room, or freezing in winter on the way to our eight- thirty classes? Is there any moment in any day that means more than pulling the right letters out of our mail boxes? In this section of the LAMP we have tried to depict for you not only the more spectacular traditions, but the little daily routine events which, charmingly woven together, make up the pattern of our life at Lasell. Thcfirst week Qfsohoot is spent in the hilarious initia- tion ay' the juniors, who learn that, in order to know what is going on at Lasett, thy must go through the daib ritual fyfreading the buttetin ana' attending Assembb. Briggs was proud ayf its prize-winning room at Senior Open House.

There outside speakers and members of the administration address us. When a guest speaker stands before us we rise en masse instead of applauding, as a courteous gesture of welcome. The spirits of the student body are es- pecially high every other Tuesday, when we have our student sings. An atmosphere of good fellowship prevails as we progress from hymns to the fighting songs of our favorite branches of the service, and end with the latest popular songs. just before eleven thirty, when Assembly begins, Woodland Road seethes with activity. Books are slammed shut all over the campus. The clatter of typewriters ceases in Woodland. The scientists in Bragdon and Gardner labs put away their test tubes and cover their miscroscopes. Lockers in the gym are Hlled with girls hastily climbing into their street clothes. The artists in the studio put their brushes in turpentine and run. Everyone runs. Coats fly open, disclosing bright sweaters pulled down nearly to the safety pins on equally bright kilts. Pigtails stream back- ward and feather cuts blow about in the breeze. Though our interests are varied at other times of the day, we are motivated at eleven twenty by a common urge to get to the Barn for our mail and arrive at As- sembly before Miss Beede closes the doors. Inside Winslow Hall we enthusiastically unite as the student body of Lasell. .Q 3 Miss Mari' Class of 1943 Hundreds of anxious females climbed down from the train at Auburndale on September 19, 1942. In the midst of all the scramble and confusion, the seniors of Lasell, old timers, now, greeted one an- other with cries of joy, then taxied to their houses to unpack. This memorable day marked the begin- ning of nine glorious months at Lasell. After regis- tering, attending the President's Reception, and greeting the new juniors, they were ready to begin classes. Then came Junior Week. On every path one could see those underclassmen hiking along, dressed in outlandish outfits which had been dreamed up by the seniors. With books piled to the level of their eyes, they did the bidding of any senior who came along. On November 22, the illustrious seniors took Cap and Gown. That was a never-to-be-forgotten i20l Clam Ojirerr night. Alter the solemn procession, everyone gath- ered in the Barn to enjoy crackers and milkfand laryngitis. Then Came the Christmas Ball, the first lormal ofthe year. The senior houses hummed with exeitement as girls in swirling gowns awaited their eseorts. Soon after the holidays the following senior Class officers were elected: Harriet Lindsey, president, Betty Gorton, vice-president, Priscilla Spence, secretary, Sue VVhite, treasurerg Carol VVadhams, leader, and Janet Reid, assistant song leader. Toward the end ofjanuary, sighs and groans began to emanate from every senior house, as mid-year exams approached. The expression burning the midnight oil became a reality. Then it was all over, and graduation lay just ahead. And now the year has ended. livery senior will Cherish the memories olithese College days, knowing that, whatever lies ahead, nothing can alter the glorious tact that she is, and always will be, a loyal daughter ofLasell. l2Il MARJORIE ELIZABETH ALLARD North Main Street Essex, Connecticut Secretarial Betty'l .... quiet and unassuming. . .member of Span- ish Club. . .enjoys badminton, sailing and swimming. . . particular hobbies are knitting and reading. . .has a sense of humor. . .generous. . .a loyal lriend. . .

From our point of view there is no house on campus that offers a greater variety of personalities than Gardner provided this year. We boasted of blondes and brunettes in all shapes and sizes, some quiet and re- served, some jovial and full of pepfand all of us were happy. Our fondest memories will be of the kitchen. What enthusiastic cooks we were, and what delicious food we prepared in that homey little room on the basement floor. We enjoyed our snacks even when they were sometimes a little on the burned side. Remember those fire drills? Yes, we cer- tainly enjoyed nothing more than getting out of bed at some amazing hour and stumbling around in the dark to satisfy ourselves tlzat we could do it right at any time of day. We were proud of the positions some of the Gardner girls held as leaders of the class. Harriet Lindsey made a truly capa- ble house president. janet Reid was our f68l energetic and popular song leader, Dotty Rosien, our enthusiastic house representa- tive to the Student Council. How wise we were in our selection of Betty Moore as house president. We could not have chosen a more congenial, more trust- worthy, more likeable leader. Gardner was always especially busy on the eve of a big week end. There just never seemed to be enough telephones to go around. Even a dozen would not have been enough to take care of all the admir- ers who were rushing those popular Hedys and Lanas in war time. We studied hard this last year at Lasell. Many were the nights that psychology, economics or English literature kept the midnight oil burning. There were many times when, in our laughter and gaiety, we forgot the con- tents of the lamiliar Eluebook, and were awarded with those unforgettable demer- its, but we are grateful to our housemoth- ers for their friendliness and understand- ing. These memories and many more of our castle on the hill, known as Gardner Hall, will always bind us closely together.

Merchandiser Marie was absent lor some time, as was Becky, who made those jaunts to Albany as a Congressman's secretary. Then there were Purcyls never- ending excursions to Dartmouth, Dorisls and Natalie's numerous trips on week ends. There was hardly a minute between nine thirty and ten when the phone wasn,t ringing for someone. After Christmas came Janet,s engagement. Roommate Carol, her knitting needles seldom out of her hands, produced gorgeous sweaters. Marjie snapped candids of campus affairs. VVe certainly enjoyed Miss Goodrichis afternoon tea parties. Wlhat could be pleasanter than hot tea and good company on a cold winter's day? On Friday nights we took over the kitchen, to least on de- licious hamburgers and onions. Life quieted down somewhat after near- ly all the boys entered the service, but air mail specials, cablegrams, and long distance calls kept us going. This year at Pickard we'll never forget.

How often Hyan- nis was frequented by happy-go-lucky, photogenic Anita, or versatile Lynne, our rhumba dancer and linguist, who had men in every state.

We shall always remember Carpenter's spacious rooms, the general buzz of' laughter and conversation through the halls especially on Saturday nights, and the living room where we had our parties. The kitchen was in a turmoil the night we entertained our junior sisters. VVolcott and Wadhams sliced eleven loaves of bread and practiced up for their future homes and hubbies. In the fall our capable Betty was elected house president. House meetings were frequent in Rosie's and Ginnyfs room. We were a high-spirited group. Some of our energy went into making a charming snow lady. We also started some inter- house competition by challenging Gardner to a volleyball game, which left us ex- hausted. VVe were delighted when Miss Park and Senora gave us two scrump- tious parties. We,ll never forget the frantic work of Frankie, Bondy and Betty Walker every time budgets were due, the onion parties in Schmidt and Willyis room, and the 74 excitement of getting prom-trotting Nora off on one of her frequent trips to Colgate. What would McAvoy, King and Gold- smith have done without Revene, our human alarm clock? Nita's beautiful clothes were the envy of us all, and roommate Joan kept the post office busy with her laundry cases. Every night we found our vocalist, Kuchie, glued to the radio, entranced with Frank Sinatra. Remember how our lover of the ivories, Birchie, used to play our favorite songs? VVhen the movie, Flying Fortressf came to town, off dashed Bentley to see it. We wonit forget our Betsy, from China, at the U.S.O. dances, or her British moans at the Bond Drive entertainment. VVhen thc telephone rang, it was almost invariably for popular Nancy Leavis. How happy Muff was when she went all the way home to lllinois for spring vaca- tion. How we racked our brains to boost the Endowment Fund for Prouty. This was a happy year we had at old Carpenter. lNe'll always remember our song, 6'The best girls of all move to Carpenter Hall.

No group could have been more har- monious. We have so many happy memories: those Sunday evenings when our typists Dot and Nat always came running back from Woodland just in time for the end of a house meeting, then it was lights out for the Inner Sanctum, in Pat's and Stevels room, with standing room only. Cn the twenty-second of November there was an air of suppressed excitement about the place. Everyone was waiting for the call saying it was Cap and Gown night. Poor Steve did her best to keep it from us, but somehow we knew. Thursday nights we always went through a regular beautifying ritual. Could it have been promoted by the Friday one oiclock permissions? Then there were the good old sings around the piano in the evening, 5',I.Lf' or 'judyn playing for us, with Carol's lovely voice sounding above all others. What a change took place after Pat, JL. and Push, our merchandisers, came back from a long, hard vacation,' of 78 working. We were a closely knit house. When anyone got that letter the whole house knew about it. We were happy when even one member of the house was happy. The second-Hoor hall was the most exciting place in the house. There Carol, Nat, Lynn, Peg and JL. received their frequent long-distance calls. The Senior-Junior Prom proved a memorable week end, when our men stayed in Auburndale right through until ten o'clock on Sunday. Betty always managed to keep busy with her nightly cooking of soup, and our artistic Polly and Peg were forever rear- ranging their room. What a night it was when our tired skiers came back from Intervale. There was a mad rush for hot water, and lots of talking of a wonderful tirnen by Judy, Dot, Ann, Pat and Steve. Long shall we have nostalgic thoughts of nights in the smoker, Open House, the black-out practices, and fire drills, and of crew together on spring afternoons.

Under Enid's expert guidance as president of the house, and Mary jols irreplaceable talents as fire chief and air raid warden, Draper was launched on a busy year. We canft fbrget those first days of aim- less wandering about amid trunks, while the four art students, two secretarial geniuses, and the one veritable dynamo in the merchandising department tried to get into the swing of things. Enid's lanky legs as well as her profound lectures on how to fall in and out of love in two easy lessons were famous. Mrs. Monroe's and Mrs. NN'inslow,s entertaining musical ses- sions were enhanced by the famous Barber Shop septet, consisting of too many off-key sopranos. VVe'll remember Mary ,Io's Annapolis jaunts, and her sage philosophy on the benefits of sleep, our scenic smoker, coffee in the kitchen, Barbara Krause's parties for the 'fDraper Droopswg Dottie Ffs jive, strawberry blonde hair, and mild interest in the Navy, sliding to breakfast in the middle of the night, Trudie's gorgeous ring on the third finger, left hand, and all that knitting. Remember Enid's R.C.A.F., and Alis phone calls from Newport? The fetching rain hats sported by the Droopy Creww, Bob's telegrams, our house mothers racing back and forth from East to Wlest, and Shirlis good-looking 'fconglomeratedn outfit provided endless entertainment. Food arrived by the ton and disappeared in the same manner. We liked Dottie's subtle sarcasm, passion for green, and HCraziest Dreaml' about most any mem- ber ofthe Air Corps, and Magis long hair and her take-me-back-to-Detroit spirit. No, we'll never forget good old Draper.

We'll never forget Pinky's twelve spadesg the spectacular hair-dos of Mouse, our house president, Betty Pettersonis beauti- ful diamond, and Dotis dry humor. Re- member Ruby and her trips home every week end, Jeannieas gum, Edith with her gorgeous fraternity pin, and daily lettersg Judy and Joyce listening to UThe Lone Ranger , and Florencc's willingness to help out in any diihculty? We certainly had wonderful birthday parties, and remember the Christmas party we had in Miss Macdonald,s room in front of the fireplace? Cooking occa- sional dinners in the kitchen was lun. We can't forget our merchandisers Dot, Alma, Pinky, and Ruby, who certainly were efficient salesgirls. Remember the night we attempted to boost the War Bond Drive? Every night the acrobats, Ruby and Jean, performed for us. How we enjoyed our gay smoker with Briggs i 82 its red cushions and green metal chairs. Nearly every night we played bridge down there, and talked away about life in gen- eral and particular. With one of us at the piano, we occasionally gathered for a good sing. And what excitement there was when, with all the lights out, we lis- tened to Nlnner Sanctumf, Some of us ventured into the realm of photography and took Hash bulb pictures of our rooms. The chats we had with Miss Hoyt and Miss Macdonald were great fun. Remember how we used to dash to the stairs whenever the phone rang? In the spring we used to sun ourselves on our spacious porch. And we studied, of course, for our quizzes and finals. We had a grand time going in town to- gether. Remember the night six men came to see Alice Moran, who wasn't there? The friendly spirit that prevailed and the happy days we spent at Briggs will be something to remember in the years to come. Though there were just twelve of us, we were a closely-knit group, the best of pals. No Briggs girl will never forget this wonderful year.

Yes the little yellow men and the Huns were the cause of it all, but we didn't mind. WN'e kept ,em rolling just the same, piling up double, and giving taxi service from Woodland to Bragdon. Of course sometimes there was a bad bliz- zard and it was impossible to get the car out of the garage, but a telephone call to Miss Beedeis oflice before nine o'clock eliminated the possibility of double cuts. Ah, those marks! No restrictions or demerits lor a nice fat '6D',, but when Dad finished with us-the life of a day student isnit always bliss. VVe,ll Certainly remember: Ruthie brac- ing herself for the stampede of hungry commuters at noon, the mad rush to our mail boxes between classes, and the iorlorn feeling when there was only a pink slip lrom you-know-who's office, playing bridge the whole noon hourg those lengthy discussions about how we were going to make the right bus or train con- nections without cutting a few classes, tossing books and coats in the senior room or Clay students' room with a prayer that they'd he there when we got hack. For one night many of us became resi- dent students. How surprised and excited we were that November Sunday when we received telegrams and telephone calls summoning us to Winslow Hall at 1 1 P.M. After cap and gown was over, what a night we spent at Woodland. Spring at last. Despite the fact that we were getting low on gas Coupons and our tires needed retreading, we piled the gang into our ears and raced down to the Charles for crew. How wonderful to eat lunch out doors every noon and get a little sun. NN'hen the warm weather really arrived, we strolled through Campus in summer Clothes, and sat on the stone wall outside the Barn with the rest of the gang. Graduation. Everyone looked forward to it with mixed emotion. There was a lump in our throats as we thought of leaving this school, where we spent so many hours and made so many lasting friendships. But we know we can never forget these two years at Lasell. 85 M iss S augzer Class of I 94,4 On September 17, we, the new juniors of Lasell, registered in Bragdon Chapel. Now, where on earth is Bragdon Chapel?,' Can we ever forget our breathless excitement the first few days here? We would have been lost without the kind seniors and faculty members who patiently led us from room to room, building to building, until we were fairly sure of ourselves. Then we had our first glimpse of our teachers, and met each one at the President's Reception. The desire to prove ourselves to be good sports followed us all during Junior Week. Our reward was a picnic on the athletic Held. Open House afforded us a chance to sneak a peek at the inner sanctums of the seniors. Junior Open House gave us an opportunity to show off our abilities as interior decorators. The week before vacation, the seniors, according to custom, took Cap and Gown. Some of the juniors revealed their l85l Class Officers talents in g'Ladies in Retirement, and the Modern Dance Christmas Pageant. Frozen hands and feet and undaunted spirits were all part ofthe serenadc which the WVoodlandites gave to the seniors. After Christmas vacation the junior class oflicers were chosen, and Peggy Revene was elected to lead the class, supported by jeff Fleer, Alba Squarcia, Cathie kIarvis,jackie Campbell and Babs Knight. Then came the unforgettable Senior-junior Prom. Our first year at Lasell has inspired us. We also enjoyed some things not on the school cal- endar. Remember your first impression of your room-mateg moments in the Barn, hunting for a fourth to complete that bridge game, and the pride that filled us as we sang our class song lor the first time? We'll meet again next Hill, as mighty seniors. This year, as juniors, our pep and loyalty have made our class a real part of Lasell. Wle know that next year, as seniors, we shall do our part to be worthy of the honors bestowed on us. 1871 fsbvh, ifvnxylg Ar'-41, ,-Y-'.7.,,,,g. J , v .f-'P'-Q, on..-, 4 .iv -rd v.4 4. .' ., ,,f.'.1.

Presently the late risers leaped out, and hurried to the Barn for orange juice, toast, and a cup ol' eoflee. Those were the lucky people, with nine thirty classes. They could get their mail before class. At night, about nine thirty, what a busy time of it we had. Five people ran lor the phone at onee. Then Betty Rhind's narne could be heard.

Of course some Bragdonites lelt the need of using up some of that excess energy. We well remember seeing Nancy and Pinky race Sue and Martha pick- a-hack style from one end of the hall to the other. In quieter moments june and Snerch waited lbr long distance telephone calls, and Katy told some of her hilarious jokes. Then came the sound ofthe ten-olclock bell, and we scrambled to our rooms, knowing that another day had come to a close. l89l Aflixs Amex, Miss Craig Each Saturday night Bragdon looked something like Grand Central Station. Everyone rushed from room to room, and peered out ofthe windows to see who was lucky enough to be going out in a car, what with gas rationing and all. While some girls borrowed clothes, others were busy praying that their blind dates would turn out to be more satis- factory than those of the past. Still others waited eagerly lor those four rings on the phone, which might mean a date after all. Then came Sunday. What a contrast to the night before! You could have heard a pin drop anywhere in the house. If the phone rang, no one wanted to answer it. But before long there was studying to be done, and Sunday dinner at one, sometimes with an escort or two and a table full of dignified but l90l Q -4 lt: N, tx lf, t J k n. l-f gracious classmates. Then, in the evening, how we enjoyed Miss Potteris 'iW'hite Dove meetings in the room ol' that charming lady, who was sueh a real friend to all of us. All through the year we were glad to have the library so near us, lor we Could drop in almost any time to study, browse, or read the magazines. And how we enjoyed being able to run downstairs to the pool lor a quick dip now and then. Many of us also had most of our classes at Bragdon, a fact , vf'Ur'WhiCh we were thankful on especially Cold or rainy days. K ilfe had our serious moments, too.

Then, after class elections, we were proud of our two representatives, Jeff, class viee-president, and Jackie, class song leader. Spring came, and we strolled together to the ville, took sun baths, and sat on the front porch. The same good parties were given during our lree times in the evenings, and when we went on dates, we olten danced at the nearby Totem Pole. We were glad to get final exams over with, but they meant that the end of our happy year was ap- proaehing. Graduation has brought to a close an unforget- table year, a year in which we have made lasting lriendshipssa year which we wouldn't exchange ibr anything else, except for anotherjust like it. l92l Hawthorne Good things come in small packages. Hawthorne was the smallest junior house on campus, but what lun we had. Junior Week we helped each other with pigtails and lipstick-painted laces. VVe took long walks to the Charles, and made weekly expeditions to Boston. Though we began with nine girls, by mid term had six, when Virginia Lindquist, Joyce Vick- ers, and Claire Ashton left us to live in Bragdon. We all acquired southern accents and teased Dodie Scoville about her age. What fun we had during blackouts, and how we enjoyed ghost stories and feasts. Remember the mad scrambles for train schedules when boys called for dates? How we enjoyed sampling the wonderful things Jane Maynard brought home from her foods class, and the ice cream that melted at the Christmas party while Mary Martin distributed the presents. We were so nervous the morning the basketball team lists were posted. VVeren't we happy when tour of us made it? Five of us took secretarial courses. The chief topics of conversation were budgets for typing and shorthand homework. Remem- ber how the house went everywhere in a group? At Friday night suppers we always sat at the same table. XVe had a bridge game in the Barn every night, and all took the cold walk to breaklast together, Dodie and joe behind the rest, still half asleep. Exams left us grim, haggard and oh, so worried. The comparison of grades when they were all over was usually a bright spot after the tearful expectations of HLOW AC. W'e,ve made lifelong lriends, and have had a wonderful time in Hawthorne. XNe can never forget the happy year we have spent there together. U1 .t . illrllnrzzllrl' Woodland UFrom the smoker down in W'oodland to the rooms wherein we dwellw ....

We lived through junior week with fear and laughter, but finally got over being awed by the seniors. In October we held Open House for both the students and faculty. Mrs. McDonald, our house mother and hostess, was assisted by several of' the girls in greeting the guests. Then, a few weeks later, at the senior Open House, the Wbodlandites gleaned many new ideas lor decorating junior rooms. lNhen the snow came. we joined in snow ball fights on the wide lawns.

Remember how we all enviously watched Gloria, Bunny, and Kay do those fancy steps, and how Dodie and Babs used to go so fast on their racing skates? One-two-three-lbur. Yes, that was our ring. All the girls on the corridor used to make a mad dash for the phone when they heard that ring. Oh, what memories the thoughts of that half hour between nine thirty and ten bring backfthe reducing exercises in the hall, Dottie doing her acrobatic leats up on the fourth Hoor, then those seemingly endless waits in the front part of the second floor lor the food that we had ordered from Janeis. Of course we all remember those Hal- ? l95l loweien, Christmas and birthday parties that were held when our usual half hour was extended till ten Hfteen. On several nights, after we had gone to bed, we heard the ring ofthat bell, and all of us would dash for shoes, coats, towels, and flashlights required for fire drill, and then file to the Brown Room where a roll call would be taken. Remember the time, a few days before Christ- mas vacation, when we serenaded the seniors with Christmas carols? It was mighty cold that morning, but it was fun, and we ended up with a big break- fast at Bragdon. Then there were the Christmas dance and the Senior-junior Prom. All dressed about an hour an-5.- l97l ahead of time, we waited anxiously for our es- corts to arrive. As soon as they appeared we hur- ried down to the desk to find our corsages. VVe had the privilege of eating in the Bragdon dining room with the rest ofthe school, and really became acquainted not only with the seniors, but also with the other members of our own class. You could always tell when it was dinner time when you heard that bunch of VVoodlandites come down VVoodland Road harmonizing.

How hard it was to hear whom the call was for when the radio, always turned to the 920 Club, was blaring about ':Super Suclsf' Together we rushed for buses, parked our cars, shared the tortures of Junior Week, exchanged gossip and doubled dates for school dances. We can never for- get this happy and carefree year as junior day students. We were so glad to be able to take part in some of the Commencement activities, and felt that all these moments would become part of our unforgettable mem- ories of Lasell.

There are three publications and a book club for those with a literary turn of mind, singing groups and an orchestra for the music lovers, and language clubs for the linguists. The Social Service Organization and the Student Union are valuable organizations, not only because they provide beneficial contributions to society, but also because they train the girls to work together for a worthy cause. The entire student body is under the jurisdiction of the Student Government. Every Lasell girl automatically becomes a member of the Athletic Association when she enrolls in the college. In the fall, Sue White was elected head of the organiza- tion. The student body is divided into two teams, the Blue, headed by Sue White, and the White, led by Nancy Wells. These rival teams compete for the traditional shield, which has been passed back and forth between the Blues and Whites for years. The climax of the season for all the competitive sports is the Blue and White game. The winner ofthe game is awarded points, which are totaled at the end ofthe year. The team having the most points has the honor of having its name inscribed upon the shield. This year the spectators had an opportunity to cheer their favorite teams on to victory. Valuable points were added by their attendance at games. The Athletic Association has an excellent motto, 'EA sport for every girl and every girl a good sport. Come on, White! .... Come on, Blue! .... Hockey Soccer Ground, sticks, ground, sticks, ground, sticks-smash! Away goes the ball. This year, hockey got off to a fine start. Under Miss Sawyer's watchful eye, the girls ran up and down, lunging and drib- bling until the familiar Goal!,, rang out. Plenty of thrills were provided each day for the loyal Blue and White sup- porters. Fighting, peppy members of the junior team put up a great battle before being overcome by their older friends- friends because there is no greater chance for the advancement of friendship than when girls are together in competition. Heading hockey this fall was Elsinor Prouty, who did her part in the White triumphs over the Blue team. Perhaps the most brilliant playing occurred during the faculty-student game. Appearing in a wild assortment of costumes, consisting of slacks, skirts, coats, tablecloths, and large newspaper hair bows, the faculty managed to hold their adversaries to a 1-1 tie. Everyone was sorry to have the season end, for hockey can well be classed as one of Lasell's favorite sports. D041 Comes fall to Lasell, and the soccer field is crowded with players, both new- comers and old. Hardly were the girls settled at college this fall before they appeared upon the athletic field to demon- strate their prowess and good sportsman- ship. No matter what natural ability was behind each kick, at least an attempt was made, and every player had a chance. Miss Tribou coached soccer this year. Judy Hill was elected the student head. After weeks of practice, the inter-class games began, with the Blue and White rooters watching every play from the sidelines. Three exciting games ended with the same results for both sides, one loss, one tie, and one game for each side. The season closed with the Blue and White game. Every player showed that she not only knew the meaning of team- work, but had benefited by the activity itself A motto of one of our better known sports announcers may best describe our indispensable fans of the sidelines: If you can't take part in a sport, you can be one, anywayf, And sports they truly were. Basketball Do you remember the squeals ofdelight, sad groans and shouts of excitement that poured forth from the gym on March 22? Those sounds come tifom our Blue and White rooters cheering their classmates on. It was the day of the big Blue and White game. After an exciting contest, the Blues defeated the Whites, 42-35. An added feature was a faculty-student game. Each Monday and Wednesday after- noon the players met, incidentally the largest group ever to turn out for basket- Score! . . . ball practice. The teams were coached by Miss Tribou, and captained by Harriet Smillie. The practice began in February and ended in March. Besides the Blue and White game, there were class games. Players were organized into two senior and two junior teams. Though the senior teams were undefeated, the juniors, show- ing spirit and cooperation, put up a hard Hght. In the final senior-junior game, the seniors were victorious, with a score of 41-QI, marking the end of a busy season. Swimming Swimming, a major extra-curricular activity at Lasell, is a truly recreational sport, which may be taken one gym period each quarter, or after classes, with in- structions from an experienced coach. The pool is open at any time during the day, and also during the nine-thirty to ten respite each night. Such regulations make a quick dip convenient lor all enthusiasts in the school, especially Bragdonites, who need merely to run downstairs for a re- lreshing swim. Splashf. . . This year, under the keen guidance of Persis Pendleton, a course in Senior Life Saving was offered. Two hours of instruc- tion per week were required before any girl could earn the coveted Red Cross badge. Nine girls enrolled in the course, and the knowledge they gained will doubt- less prove useful during war time. The pool is a definite asset to the college, not only as a health builder, but also as a source of pure enjoyment. Lasell girls are iortunate to have such a pool available at all times. l105l , az ,Quay Badminton Volleyball A group of breathless Lasell girls in gym outfits race into Winslow Hall, seize their small racquets, and take their positions on the court. The badminton tournaments are under way. Gne of Lasellis favorite indoor sports, badminton is played during the winter months. This year the tournaments began in January, and were attended by a large group of spectators, who were eager to 'fSide out, rotatef, Volleyball practice came into full swing during the mid- winter term. Practices, held Tuesdays and Thursdays in VVinslow Hall, were coached by Miss Sawyer and captained by D. Anne Streeter. A relatively new extra- curricular sport at Lasell, volleyball is gaining in popularity among the students. It is an especially appealing game be- cause teamwork more than individual Ready! .... Got it! .... watch the exciting games and cheer their favorite players on. Day students as well as resident students took part in the compe- tition, in both the singles and the doubles matches. The winner of each set was re- quired to win three out of five games in order to be victorious. Badminton may appear to be an easy game to play, but actually requires defi- nite skill and muscular control. Any be- ginner knows that the shuttlecock can do some surprising things on its way overf or underfthe net. For exercise and real fun, no sport is more stimulating than badminton. f1o61 skill is required. The peppy juniors outnumbered the seniors almost two to one at practice, so in all fairness there were two junior teams and one senior team. These teams played each other in an exciting series of games. The Junior I team emerged undefeated. A breathtakingly fast Blue and White game closed the season. The Blue team put up a hard fight, but the Whites won two games out of three. The defeated Blue team, however, had the privilege of play- ing the faculty, who shed their dignity and played a hilarious game. Volleyball is a truly stimulating sport. Modern Dance An unusually active organization, the Modern Dance Club has spent a busy year, not only in preparing for college programs, but also in furthering interest in the dance through outside activities. After the canvases were laid in the dance studio, which was located this year in Woodland Park Hall, the girls practiced for both recreation and for self-improve- ment. At the Christmas program, presented at Winslow Hall on December 16, the dance group offered a modern number entitled Women in Defensew, and a fanciful ballet entitled, Nutcracker Suitef, At the traditional june Fete, the dancers performed out of doors for the june queen, her court, and guests. In addition, the club members studied Haydnis Surprise Symphonyu, in order to compare the symphonic form with choreography. Last fall, thirty-five mem- bers attended a performance of the Rus- sian Ballet at the Opera House. Also, the girls assisted in creating a library of indi- vidual reports dealing with dance sub- jects. Grace Riding If you had happened to be standing in front of Bragdon about ten thirty any Saturday morning this year, you would have seen a merry group of girls, dressed in shining boots and trim jackets, jump into a station wagon. That was the Riding Club off for a canter through the beautiful wooded trails and parks ofjamaica Plain, where the stables are located. To belong to the Riding Club one does not have to be an experienced rider. Many ambitious girls in the club joined because they wanted to learn to ride. For the experienced girls there were indoor and outdoor rings where they could be initiated into the intricate secrets of jumping. Besides jumpers there were hunters, and many fine-gaited horses which were placed at the disposal of the Lasell girls this year. How the girls enjoyed those invigorating breakfast rides! Their alarm clocks went off before dawn, and by seven they were off on a brisk ride. Every member of the club agrees that riding at Lasell was a thoroughly stimulat- ing and profitable sport. Gallop Bulfs qye! .... Archery Draw! Take Aim! Releaseiw And our feminine archers of Lasell send their arrows speeding straight for the target. A few misses once in a while make no differ- ence, because it is all in fun, but we do take pride in hitting that gold center. In the fall of 1942, the archery classes were held during the Hrst quarter, and the new girls spent many pleasant hours practicing to perfect their aim, and watch- ing their scores slowly improve. Although archery for the most part is not a very strenuous sport, many a girl felt that she was really exercising. The spring weather brought out all the Robin Hood hopefuls once again, and after a few weeks, during which time the girls renewed their acquaintance with the bows and arrows, the archery tournament got under way. The head of archery, La-Verne Atno, who was the winner of last yearis contest, managed the tournament. How proud we were when we saw, in our high scores, concrete evidence of the progress we had made during the year. Batter up! .... Baseball One, two, three and you're out at the old ball gamef, Spring and the great American sport, baseball, are synony- mous. Lasell, like the rest of the country, has a keen interest in the game. Not only have student teams competed with each other, but members of the faculty have also joined in the fun. We played by the girls, softball rules, using soft balls and light weight bats. Almost any sunny afternoon, as soon as the ground is dry, you will find a spirited group of girls on the diamond back of the Barn, arguing with the umpire and sliding to first base. There,s the wind-up. It's a fast, underhand pitch that just misses the batteris left ear, but she misses, and it's a homer right into Mr. Amesburyas backyard. At the end of this year, junior and senior teams were organized and a very exciting series of games were played. In the years to come we shall look back on those merry afternoons of baseball and on the victory picnic with a feeling of deep satisfaction. Golf g'Watch that left arm, eye on the ball, and swing! These were the pleas Miss Sawyer hopefully offered to us in the fall. Under her careful supervision, many of us developed a great interest in golf. Then came winter, and wc packed our bags away in moth balls. Snow and ice covered our rolling course. Uur fairways were used lbr ski and toboggan runs, and our greens for skating rinks, Gradually the snow and ice melted, and then the course was once more ready for golf. I1 vllffll the half! .... Tennis During the crisp, cool days oflall, or the warm, bright days of spring, Lasell girls gather at the tennis courtsfat Bragdon, Woodland, and Gardner-to enjoy a lively game of tennis. VVhether a player smashes the ball into the net, knocks it out of bounds, or places it neatly beyond the reach of her opponent, the pleasure ol practicing and competing with others is always there, for no sport is more invigor- ating, and none is more popular than tennis at Lasell. Here il t'0I7lt'.Y.! .... Balls, tees and clubs were aired, and out we went with great hopes of low scores and new victories. Mr. Duffy, the pro- fessional from the Trapelo Country Club in VValtham, lbr two hours each week gave us many pointers, helping us to de- velop our swings. The climax of our golfing season oc- curred when the annual golf tournament was held. This event attracted a number of enthusiastic golfers and gave some ofthe girls their first real sample of tournament golf In the spring, under the watchful eye ol Miss Sawyer, the tennis coach, the annual tennis match between Lasell girls and students ofthe Brookline High School was played ofT. The game was particularly exciting because the best players of the college were selected to compete with the able members ofthe high school team. The tennis season ended with the an- nual all-college tournament, which was supported by an enthusiastic group ol spectators, who could hardly keep from getting into the game themselves. l109l Crew uReady! Stro-o-oke backln Nine shining paddles are held high. At the command they plunge into the water in perfect uni- son, and the long war canoes shoot ahead up the river. Every afternoon half the college is down by the Charles, either actively participating in crew, or cheering from the banks. Preparation for crew started the first weeks after spring vacation. Every girl who wanted to go out for crew had to take a swimming test, and pass several strength and breathing tests. Nobody was allowed to step into a war canoe without first proving herself' capable of handling a small canoe. The head of' crew, Natalie Monge and the coaches, hir. Ordway and Miss Mac, selected the junior and senior crew cap- tains, who drew for their crews. Then practice began in earnest. An exciting picnic was held after prac- tice the night before River Day, at which time the names of those girls who had been selected to race were announced. The great day dawned at last. The student body, faculty and alumnae thronged the banks of the Charles. Each crew wore its own colors, adding a festive note to the occasion. The spectators cheered as the winners crossed the finish line. The defeated crews tipped over their victors, providing them with a friendly ducking. None of' us who were members of' Crew will forget those tests we had to pass in order to qualify for the sport. In the swim- ming test, which we took First, we had to disrobe in the water, and swim one hun- dred yards, or eight lengths of the pool. Then came the muscle and lung tests. VVe struggled valiantly to prove that our arms, legs and backs were strong enough, and that we had enough lung power to stand the strain. But all our efforts were rewarded, for no sport was ever more fun than crew. Each day, after practice, the five-thirty groups paddled up the Charles to a quiet cove and climbed out on the shore to enjoy de- licious picnic suppers. Returning at dusk, we harmonized to- gether. Crew on the Charles will stand out as one of the happiest memories of Lasell. Hou' did that l1zz,lJ,bm.9. . .

The group accepts obligations and re- sponsibilities lbr the good ol' the school. Every member ofthe Council this year has worked hard, and in return has re- ceived a great deal of cooperation from the students. The Council meetings were held in the evening every second Wiednes- day of' the month, in the afternoon, tor the benefit of' the day student representa- tives, and every fourth Wlednesday of the month. Dean Rand, and Miss lN1cClelland, the class advisor, were present to offer advice on any problems under discussion. Through the Council, at the request of the students, arrangements were made for entertaining men friends in the Barn at certain times during the week end. Be- LIIQI cause ofthe lack of gasoline, more couples have remained on campus, and the Barn is an ideal place to go for amusement. There one can dance, play bridge, pool, or ping-pong, and refreshments are avail- able at the soda fountain. Hostesses assist in the Barn on week ends. For the maintenance ot' quiet during Assembly periods, senior proctors have been appointed. Through their efficiency, and the cooperation of' the students, the situation is well in hand. At Vespers monitors have helped to keep the lines straight and even. The seniors wore their caps and gowns to Vespers every second Sunday ofthe month. They marched in as a body, and sat in front of the juniors. Leading the lines were the tour officers of the Executive Council. The Council sponsored two dances during the year, the Christmas Ball and the May Cotillion. Both dances were surprisingly successful, considering the absence of' so many men in war time, and the difficulties in securing an orchestra. In response to many requests, the Council sponsored dances for service men. Lamp Toward the end of' October, ideas for this yearis LAMP began to crystallize. Our Qi!!! lx. . 1,, f . f L editor, Elizabeth Gorton, called a meeting of all those interested in any phase of the work, and from those girls chose D. Anne Streeter as editorial head, LaVerne Atno as art editor, and Marilyn Isenberg as photographic chief Edna Lyons was ap- pointed business manager by Mr. Ames- bury. These girls and their assistants, Anita Scott, Ruth Dempsey, Dotty Collin, Ruth Purcell and Marjorie Langworthy fa group of' tenj, became the stafi, and attended all meetings with our advisor from the Andover Press. The larger com- mittees under each of these editors did their work independently, and reported to the staff. The lay-out of' our book was planned first. It was decided that the LAMP of ,43 would be not only a senior book, but also a memory book for the whole college. For this reason we have devoted a larger sec- tion of script and snapshots to the juniors than ever before. The emphasis ofour book has been placed on the traditions of Lasell. Inasmuch as this is a war year, we had many difliculties which other classes have not had to face. We were unable to obtain maroon leather for the covers we had planned to use, because the manufacture of' this material has ceased, and a high priority rating was required for material already on the binders, shelves. The photographer, because of transportation problems, could make only six trips to our campus, consequently, all the pictures except senior portraits had to be sched- uled during those visits. There were earlier deadlines for the editorial department to meet, because of the difiiculty the pub- lishers had in obtaining sufiicient help. The LAMP staff wishes to express its gratitude to Mrs. Donald Winslow. With- out her advice and able guidance it would not have been possible to present to you, as a finished product, the 1943 LAMP. Atno, Mrs. Winslow, Gorton Cofiin, Lyons, Purcell, Isenberg, Langworthy, Streeter, Dempsey Leaves The Leaves is Lasellis quarterly literary magazine. Although most of the material contained in the publication is selected from the best that is written by the Eng- lish, journalism and creative writing class- es, anyone in the college is invited to sub- mit stories, poems and articles. This year we have made a special effort to include in each issue thought provoking and informative articles. Editor-in-chief D. Anne Streeter had charge ofthe literary work and contributed feature articles. We were fortunate to have LaVerne Atno as art editor. Her striking cover designs and sketches added greatly to the maga- zine. Associate editor jimmie Hickman assisted in the arduous task of preparing the copy for the printer. The staff is composed of the editors, the second-year journalism students, who assisted our faculty adviser, Mrs. Donald Winslow, in proofreading the galley when it came back from the printer, and helped set up the dummy. Finally, after several more proofreadings and trips to the printer, each issue of the Leaves appeared in your mail boxes. Candee, Atno, Dempsey, Moffett Streeter, Mrs. VVinslow, Hickman CWS The staff of the Lasell Aews, our bi- monthly publication, is composed of be- ginning and advanced journalism stu- dents, who take full charge of the paper, with the exception ofthe actual printing. These girls gather the news, write it up, typewrite, count words, proofread, and write headlines. In addition, they are given an opportunity in class to learn how to develop individual styles, write different types of newspaper articles such as editorials, campus comments, inter- views and features, and plan the lay-out. Both classes have made trips to well- known newspaper plants. Every other Monday, the staff arranges and mails the copy to the printer, and every other Wednesday devotes its time to Udummyingi' the paper, that is, arranging the copy in columns, writing headlines, and proofreading. The editor-in-chief is Eloise Moffett, the associate-editor, Ruth Dempsey. With Miss Gould as advisor, the News staff eagerly searches lor campus news, and runs columns for the information and entertainment of the college readers. Moffett, Miss Gould, Dempsey 1 Fireside Group Hearth Book Club The Hearth Book Club was organized this year by members of' the faculty and student body who were interested in hav- ing a stimulating literary discussion group for students. The meetings began with suggestions and reports on sources for reviews and information pertaining to particular types of literature. This introduction was sup- plemented by critical book reviews by members ofthe club. The first field explored was that of' poetry. Recordings, and poems by Robert Frost, Robert P. Tristram Cofiin and Chaucer were presented, and reports were made on the lives of' the authors. During the year the club members visited the lNidener Library. In the spring we discussed Shakespeare. Dr. Hannay spoke about the Women in Shakespeare's Plays, and Miss Goodwin lectured on the 6'History of' the Shakes- pearian Productionf' with special empha- sis on the play UAS You Like Itf, Besides developing an interest in liter- ature, the Hearth Book Club provided additional opportunity for comradeship between students and faculty members. l1l5l Rehearsal at Winslow Crchestra Orchestra or ensemble? That was the question confronting the enthusiastic mu- sicians this year each time they entered the confines of the chapel for the weekly rehearsal. Because of the lack of wind instrument players Qfor one Cornet, one fiute, and one trombone can hardly be called a real wind sectionj, an orchestra as such seemed problematical. So it was that under the most proficient direction of Mr. Paul Bauguss an ensemble consisting of stringed instruments and piano accompaniment, with the sweet notes of the fiute as a very melodic back- ground, was organized. Although not exactly possessing a Trapp family, Lasell has a group of musicians of which it may well be proud. The duty of' this group is to entertain at various func- tions and plays. Among other activities the group provided background music for the Christmas Vesper service. Perhaps the orchestra's most important contribu- tion was its final appearance at gradua- tion. The group also entertained at the spring play, HAS You Like It, on March nineteenth and twentieth, at Winslow Hall. Isenberg, McMullan Squarcia, Sears, Nurkiewicz, Sears Student Union and Spanish Club Social Service The Social Service Organization has been busy this year under the direction of Betsy McMullan, president, Betty Moore vice-president, Anita Scott, secre- tary, and Joan Hunting, treasurer. One ofthe most important duties of the Social Service Organization this year was the sponsorship of the Mite Box suppers. Each month money was collected for various charities, including the Red Cross, British W'ar Relief, United China Relief and Russian W'ar Relief. In February the organization assisted in backing the NName a Bomber cam- paign to sell war bonds, and several groups of girls were sent at various times during the year to entertain the convales- cent soldiers at Fort Devens. The Lasell Student Union is affiliated with the New England Student Christian Movement. The members of the Union this year elected the following oflicers: Marilyn Isenberg, president, Harriet Smil- lie, vice-president, Priscilla Spence, secre- tary, Marian Rushton, treasurer. LIICJ A bit of old Spain came to Lasell this year each time the Spanish Club of Lasell met. Every Spanish student was a member of the club, the officers of which were Lynne Nurkiewicz, president, Elizabeth Cushman, secretary, and Ruth Purcell, treasurer. Senora Orozco and Senora Cobb were the faculty advisors, who con- tributed greatly to the education and entertainment ofthe club members. just before the Christmas vacation, a gala Christmas party was held in the Carpenter parlor. More than one hundred girls attended, each bringing with her a small gift to exchange with someone else. The meeting ended with refreshments of cake and ice cream, and then the singing of Christmas carols. Several members ofthe club attended, at Boston University, meetings ofthe lnter- American Institute, a group interested in bringing together students of Spanish from all the colleges in the vicinity, show- ing pictures, giving lectures, and acquaint- ing the group with the social, political and business lile of the Latin American countries. Ski Club The Ski Club is a fairly new organiza- tion at Lasell. It was organized last year by a group of ski enthusiasts. At the Hrst meeting the ofiicers elected were: presi- dent, Pat Bixby, vice-president, Penny Smith, secretary-treasurer, Dorothy Marr. The club, one of the largest in the col- lege, had about sixty members. The only difficulty the group faced was the lack of snow on the hills. There were only two or three weeks in which the members could ski here on Lasell's slopes. Ulf snow wonit come to us, we'll go to it,,' said the ambitious members of the Ski Club, and away they hurried to the VVhite Mountains. A few of the more ex- perienced skiers were able to ski down the mountains lrom the very top. The rest bravely made twists and turns on the practice slope. Despite the fact that the winter's dearth of snow made it impossible for the Ski Club to Carry out many of its extensive plans, the group had a gay time during the weeks when the club was able to function. livery member lelt that she gained valuable experience. Outing Club The Outing Club is a new organization at Lasell this year. Started in the fall by a group of students who were enthusiastic about hiking and taking bicycle trips, the club was well supported, and a hike was sponsored every Friday afternoon. During the winter the club altered its program of activity. There were several trips to Newton for an afternoon of bowl- ing. Pleasant times were enjoyed by the members when they glided over the frozen waters of the Charles, and skied down our own slope back of Gardner. Because the hill wasnit so steep that it taxed the strength and skill of the skiers too greatly, the girls thoroughly enjoyed the activity, and the refreshments served by the club in the Barn afterwards certainly were wel- come. In the spring, walks by the Charles were resumed. The girls also took pleasant spins through the countryside on their bicycles, and paddled up the Charles river in small canoes. Best of all were the picnics and out-door cook-outs. The Outing Club was both a beneficial and stimulating organization.

VVe now turn our thoughts to lighter moments of our college life as we devote the next section of the LAMP to those un- forgettable week ends that we have had marked as red-letter days on our calendars since September-prom week ends, and evenings devoted to Dramatic Club pro- ductions. Every house is in an uproar on the night of a dance. For weeks every one has been asking, HWhom shall I ask, and what shall I wear?,' Finally the great night arrives. Boxes of flowers by the dozen have been arriving all afternoon. Downstairs, in every house, the living rooms are packed with those wonderful creatures with a high priority rating-'our men. Upstairs there is chaos. Lasellites are frantically transforming themselves from serious stu- dents into campus queens. Sloppy sweaters and pigtails are replaced by filmy evening gowns and flowing or up-sweep hair-dos. Budgets and lab reports are forgotten as we gaily set out to trip the light fantastic in Winslow Hall. The Executive Council this year spon- sored two dances, the Christmas Ball and the May Cotillion. Also, the junior and senior prom committees united to present a tremendously successful all-college dance. The first contribution of the Dramatic Club this season was the extremely popu- lar Harvest Moon Hop, the proceeds of which helped to make its delightful dra- matic productions possible. This year the club presented, under the skillful direction of Miss Ruth Goodwin, two difficult plays, Ladies in Retirement, and Shake- spearels As You Like It.', K Harvmt M0022 Hop Senior-junior Prom Dances Soon after the leaves began to fall, the Lasell Dramatic Club went countrified. In came the corn stalks and the pumpkins to transform Winslow Hall into a spooky barn for the Harvest Moon Hop. VVitches rode their broomsticks and an unusual visitor watched the couples shuffle by from his position lneath a lamp post. Don Gahan and his orchestra kept our spirits high and our feet in motion with lively music. From time to time wc retired lrom the dance floor to enjoy eating doughnuts I 1201 and sipping cider, only to return to join a Conga line. Enid Hughes and her committee spent two frenzied weeks preparing for the Christmas Ball, the first formal of the year. At eight olclock, on December IQ, we entered VVinslow Hall and found our- selves transported to a corner of heaven. Angels, stars and clouds floated past as we danced to such melodies as Hllm Dream- ing of a White Christmasf, rendered by Ken Reeves, orchestra. Gaiety and excitement filled YVinslow Hall on the evening of February 13, as Lasell girls and their escorts danced to the smooth rhythm ol' Diek Seeleyis orchestra, for on this particular evening the Senior- .Iunior Prom was in full swing. The ocea- sion was all the more impressive because lor the first time the senior and -junior classes pooled their talents to sponsor one gala prom. The hall was appropriately decorated with hearts, cupids, and other designs representative of Saint Valentine-'s Day, Snow Ball designs which the hard-working commit- tee on decorations had spent hours plan- ning lor and arranging. Chairs and tables were grouped throughout the gym, where most of the couples chatted during the intermissions. A light snack of punch and cookies was served to the enthusiastic guests at ten o'eloek. At midnight the dancing ended, but lor another hour the couples stayed on to enjoy refreshments of sandwiches and milk, and to sing college songs. Yes, it was an unforgettable evening. KIQIE IQQ Plays The Lasell Dramatic Glub opened its season on Friday evening, No- vember 20, at Winslow Hall, by presenting, under Miss Goodwinis direction, HLadies in Retirement, a Broadway hit of several seasons ago. The scene of the play is laid in the living room of an old house on the Thames estuary. Leonora Fisk QHel- en Wlakemj, a middle-aged spinster and retired actress, lives alone in this desolate spot with her companion, Ellen Greed fGarol W'adhamsj, and her maid, Lucy CGloria Boydj. Ellen brings her two insane sisters for a short visit, which is prolonged for four months. Miss Fisk insists that Ellen send her sisters back to London, but Ellen refuses, and in desperation murders her hostess. The crime is discovered by her nephew, Albert QDan Kellyj, who, to evade the police because of a crime of his own, has come to the house to hide. The police catch up with him, and Ellen dramatically confesses her murder so that her sisters can live in peace. The insane sisters were expertly characterized by Vida Pike and Janet Reid. Our thanks go to Mr. Dan Kelly, a Harvard student, for a line performance. The somber nun was admirably played by Betsy McMullan. 4'Ladies in Retirementu was also coached by Miss Goodwin. All the back-stage work was under the direc- tion of Jimmie Hickman. Margaret Goldsmith was the wardrobe mis- tress, Betty Gorton, chairman of properties, and Priscilla Houghton, prompter. The entire play, except for Miss Goodwin's direction, was produced by the students. Lasell adapted itself this year to the lack of man power by using an all-girl cast in Shake- speareis classical comedy, HAS You Like ltf' The play was presented by the Dramatic Glub at Winslow Hall, on Friday and Satur- day evenings, March IQ and 20, under the expert direction of Miss Goodwin. The feminine lead, Rosalind, was charm- ingly played by Betty O'Gonnor, with Bar- bara Birch as the hero, Orlando. The irate Duke Frederick was portrayed by Suzanne Lang, while Libby Knox characterized the good Duke, Senior. Vida Pike as Touch- stone, and Janet Reid as Audrey ably hand- led the comedy parts. Because HAS You Like lt has a large cast of characters, a number of girls played the several of the minor roles. This work was no hardship and very profitable experience, as uevery man in his time has many roles to playf, Other members of the cast included the Misses Harrington, Hickman, Houghton, Boyd, Bixby, Wakem, Bentley, Bresette, Hermann, Revene, lN'IcMullan, Goldsmith and Frankel. When Shakespeare wrote his plays, no scenery was used. For this reason, Miss Good- win decided that HAS You Like lt would be produced at Lasell without scenery, except for the forest scene. The scenery committee rejoiced, because a great many scenes follow each other in rapid succession. As You Like It, the first Shakespearian play to be produced at Lasell under Miss Goodwin's direction, was enthusiastically received by the student body. For those girls who are interested in staging productions, Lasell has a Dramatic Club. After working on two or three plays, girls can be voted members ofthe inner part of this club, which is headed by janet Reid, presi- dent, Jimmie Hickman, vice-president, Betsy McMullan, secretary, and Garol Wadhams treasurer. This club has the privilege of plan- ning the Workshop Play, an all-school pro- duction about life on campus. The Dramatic Club is one of the most active organizations at Lasell. mg Letters from a Senior October 17, 1942 Dear Family, Lasell again has opened its portals for another year. Only now Iim a full-fledged senior Qby the kind hand of Fatej, and I'm all set to portray my new role. ,Tis great to be back again and see all my long lost friends. So far, lim happy to report, life has been an overgrown reunion, and I wonder when I'rn going to settle down to the more arduous task of equipping my- self with knowledge. There are so many new faces. Will they ever assume individu- ality? I ask myselfa hundred times a day. Junior Week was hysterical. They all looked like refugees from a circus, thanks to the ingenuity of my fellow classmates. We took them for a three-day ride',, and at times I wondered how I ever survived the same catastrophe last year. They are making me take sewing to graduate, and I'm thoroughly convinced that I shall fail it. Will you be terribly disgraced? Well, you know, I never could thread a needle. QMaybe thatis why I have to take itj Soccer and hockey have started with a bang, and I knock myself out every after- noon running after a silly ball. It wouldn't be so bad if my perambulators didn't get ahead of the hall and the ball didn,t catch up and I didn't eventually execute a one- point landing, with admirable skill. Senior elections come soon, and I'm trying very hard to act capable and the way a senior should acthso maybe they will recognize some possibilities. I sing all the time so they will think maybe I would make a good song leader. The only trouble is, everyone talks so loud when Pm singing that no one can hear me. Well, a party has started to revolve around me. That's what I like about senior houses. So perhaps I had better sign off and join my hungry amigos. It is difii- D241 cult to compete with a bridge game, jam session and the food my roommate's mother sent. Nothing subtle about me. Your loving daughter, SAMANTHA JANE P.S. The juniors asked if that is my real name. P.P.S. Open House is soon. Don't forget to send the curtains. December 13, 1942 DEAR HOME, Life is bliss and I will be with you very soon. Everybody is madly excited about Christmas, and as far as I can see they ought to forget classes. Anything is an excuse for a party---from failing a test-to- tomnot getting a letter. We have a lot of parties on my account. The seniors took Cap and Gown not so long ago, and even though it was ceiling zero, and a gale blew the candles out, and some of us were just a little off key, it was impressive enough to make the juniors practically fall out of the windows. I think Iill never forget the long line of candles circling into the night, in a somber, significant procession. Itis something we'll always remember in later years. After- wards, we threw a big party in the '6Barn,' until the wee hours. 'Twas a howling success. The Christmas dance was a divine affair. I looked neat in the dress you sent. My roommate got me a blind date. It was somebody who asked her for a date three weeks ago. I-Ie carries a calendar around, now. I had more fun decorating the gym, though. We climbed around like young Tarzannas on ladders, trying to put stars and angels in odd places. We put them all up Friday night, but something happened, 'cuz we came in Saturday morning and they had all fallen down. I think I,m going in for war work of some sort. Everyone wants to do some- thing, but no one knows exactly where her talents lie. I think I'd make an excellent bandage roller, or something. Knitting is out, 'cuz I'm still trying to finish the socks I started for someone three years ago. Is all for now, and I'll see you soon. Love, SJ. P.S. I am sans cash. February 15, 1943 DEAR FAMILY, Woe holds me tight in its cunning clutches, and I am being strangled in that proverbial January-February slump. Alas, tout le monde has departed and left me alone to my sad fate, on this Saturday night. I can't even seem to get a bridge game organized. My roommate looked so cute in my dress. Her date wasn't so cute, though, but then, I guess I'm not, either. Exams are past, but upholding my ex- pectations I have failed sewing. It must be a terrible shock to you, knowing you have such a feeble-brained offspring. Sadly, I report, I have attained the gruesome status quo of Low Ac because my English teacher decided that my usually brilliant cranium ceased functioning in the middle of the exam. I attribute this superior bit of de- tection to the fact that I studied too strenuously. The Senior-Junior prom was a delight- ful dance. My roommate supplied my date, who sent me orchids, which I have preserved for future proof. She is so kind about tending to strategic matters of that sort, but her kindness is vainly spent. I must admit, my impression must have been nil or I wouldnit be here now holding the walls up on Saturday night. I some- times wonder-and it continues to bafiie me as time goes by-if I'm really so ob- noxious. I'm glad you love me. We are working very hard attempting to put the LAMP in one piece. My talents are definitely not in the journalistic field. D251 I have searched so far for them, but they just donlt seem to exist in any color, shape or form. I loathe having to disappoint you so. Well, I must return to my books for the rest ofthe evening. Definitely yours, SJ. April 16, 1943 Hello, Mother! Hello, Father! The Calla lilies are in bloom again and this long-awaited spring weather has plunged me deep into the fever of spring. All my worthy ambitions to become a scholar are, at the moment, fioating away with the four winds. I have also fallen in love, but it is rather a tragic aH'air, for next week he is joining Uncle Sam's aquatic family, and I shall be left again on Saturday nights piecing memories to- gether. Ah, youth. Ah, wilderness. My excess energy is finding an outlet, now that I am making daily excursions paddling up and down the Charles River. Wish I had gone out for crew last year, but I guess there are some things one never gets around to doing until one is a senior, and is about ready to become the recipient of a document informing one that one has made it. At present the senior class and its able officers are in a series of loop-de-loops try- ing to battle with rationing and dim-outs that will necessarily affect the traditional graduation exercises. But as far as possible Weill be following the same procedure. Try to be here on Saturday, June 5, so you can make the Class Day exercises, the Mother-Father-Daughter banquet, and the President's Reception. We have de- cided to condense all of the activities into three days. Monday morning brings the big moment, and by all means wear your smiles, and beam at me the way fond parents should beam at their daughter. We are up to our eyebrows in the Work Shop play, and don't think that isnlt deep. Have I ever told you that I'm a brand new member of the exalted Inner Dramatic Club, on account of I scrub flats with such remarkable skill and enthusiasm, and dis- play genuine talent in the important role of backstage handyman? In the last play I pulled the curtains, too. I am also very able with hammers and nails and boards, which are very nice things to be able with. I'm getting to be quite the kid in my old age, and this sudden sprouting of formerly latent versatility has everyone completely overwhelmed. Me, too! Well, the time has come for all good men to go to the aid of their party, and I must run along and help my roommate with her cheese and crackers. Goodbye, Mother. Goodbye, Father SAMANTHA JANE, Your Wonder Child May 21, 1943 Dear Mother and Dad, Though the air is tinged with the ex- citement of our coming graduation, it is hard to believe that our days at Lasell are almost at an end. We have all looked forward to these days with such keen an- ticipation, yet now we are sad to see them merging into yesterdays with such start- ling rapidity. I hate to face the fact that all this will soon be just a memory, and that we shall all have to separate, as we start out along different roads. It is a relief, anyway, to know that the friend- ships we have made will continue through the years, friendships that will be dimmed by neither time nor distance. I think words can never express what these two years have meant to me. I can remember now that strange, lonely feeling I had when I was first a brand new LI261 junior, but as I settled down, I soon felt that I belonged here, and adapted myself to my surroundings, the other students and my teachers. I was so very green for a long time, and there was so much to learn. The year just flew by, and then it was June. I remember the lump in my throat at graduation, and the sudden re- alization that the year was over, and that our class would be the next to graduate. Then, just as suddenly, we were all seniors, living in senior houses. We took Gap and Gown, and assumed new respon- sibilities. I'll always remember walking to breakfast on cold mornings, the crazy outfits we wore in the rain and snow, the gay, idle moments in the Barn, where we played bridge and read our mail, class sports and the Blue and White games, Friday night suppers in the house, the dances, picnics and campus activities, and the many light laughs and long conversa- tions with friends. Although these experiences will soon be memories, we know that they all have a deep significance. These Lasell experi- ences have given us a sense of accomplish- ment, a feeling of self assurance and pride, and above all we know that we are equipped to carve a niche for ourselves in this world. I only hope that I can prove to you how grateful I am to you for having made these two years possible. Though my plans for the coming year are still indefinite, I hope I can go on to college and build on the foundation that Lasell has given me. This letter is imbued with a feeling of sentiment, but I know you,ll understand. Always your loving daughter, SJ.
