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.

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
