SENIOR CLASS Our Freshman Class was an up-and-doing crowd; we attacked things with unlimited spirit and enthusiasm. It seemed as if I were constantly being reported for some minor infraction of the rules and sentenced by the terrifying Jigger Board to some cruel and heartless punishment. I ' ll never forget our kiddie party. I felt so silly in my short dress, romping around playing children ' s games. And then the meal that topped off the party! We ate from soup bowls and used large spoons. As I have intimated, there was nothing of the timid soul in my make-up. Therefore, when a strike for a football holiday was called, I w as the first to respond. We picketed the campus and paraded around town. It didn ' t get us anything but cuts; yet it was fun while it lasted. The Frosh Frolic, touched by the wand of our usual enthusiasm, was a credit to the class. I helped decorate. What a night it was! I think I fell in love for the first time then. It was altogether a red-letter year. Before I really became accustomed to being a Freshman, I found that I was a sophisticated Sophomore with ages of wisdom and knowledge at my command. I was almost a fanatical supporter of our now-victorious class. I cheered the tuggers on to victory on the banks of the Quittie, roared my support at our Soph-Frosh football game. Nothing was too much for me to do for the class. Events of this year passed so rapidly that I cannot even mention all of them. But, of course, I must not overlook the highlight of the year — the Soph Hop, that nautical dance at which conditions were perfect and I was ecstatically happy. Days raced by, entangling me in fun, studies, play, and work — and suddenly I was a Junior. First of all, I had a little sister on my hands and had to see that she learned the right and necessary things. This year was so busy that I often had a strange nostalgic feeling for my carefree Freshman days. The Junior Play consumed much of my time for a while. It was Alison ' s House, by Susan Glaspell; even though I was in the cast, I can honestly say that it was beautifully done. I learned to know what being busy was when I began to work on the Quittie. I ' ve heard unkind remarks about my help, but I certainly did work; and the result was a really fine Quittie of which we were justly proud, especially since it came out on May Day. The climax of the year was, without doubt, the Junior Prom. Its charm lay partly in the setting — the Hershey Park Ballroom — and partly in the orchestra — Paul Tremaine ' s — but mostly in the general gaiety and good- fellowship exhibited by everyone. It was a night I would gladly live again. The same round of activities kept me tied down very much as a Senior, and the novelty had become worn rather thin. When I began to make plans for Commencement, it was a pleasure. I think the caps and gowns look so smart. The Senior Ball will, undoubtedly, be the big event of the year, since it is to be exclusive; that always makes things more interesting. When the final day comes and I shall have been graduated from Lebanon Valley College, I will always think of my Alma Mater with many pleasant memories and will be eager to return to visit the scene of four such happy years. 4Z5J-
