Many of our members became interested and took active parts in the Dramatic Club, the French Club, the International Relations Club, the Vocal Ensemble, the choir, the various fraternities, the football team, and the school magazine. Our studies were not too difficult or tiresome, interspersed with such gala and historic events as the Chestnut party, the Hallowe ' en party, the Christmas Banquet and the Greater Dickinson Banquet. The Community Concert course and the Lecture course also occupied a num- ber of our evenings. An unexpestedly early Easter vacation and plenty of excitement were furnished by The Flood of March 17 as well as the opportunity to help those less fortunate than ourselves. Our minds will always retain the picture of the muddy waves of the Susquehanna lapping the stone steps at the edge of the campus, and heroic efforts of members of our institution in the guise of boatmen and rescuers. We returned to classes to find May Day rapidly approaching, closely followed by final exams. Upon returning from our summer vacations we greeted old friends and imposed Freshmen Rules on the new. Vengeance is sweet! Again began the program of study and activity. We experienced a sense of dignity in entering our second year of college life and pursued our studies with a new zeal, plunged the activities with a renewed vigor. Through the vigorous efforts of the Varsity Club in organizing a parade, the strength of our football team, the weekly broadcasts of the Dramatic Club and the Spelling Bees, Williamsport became more aware of the existence of a Junior College here on the hill top. In a seemly impossible short length of time we found the second semester upon us, and the membership of the Dean ' s list increased sig- nificantly. Soon we were hurrying about having our pictures taken for the year book, ordering commencement invitations, being measured for caps and gowns, and exhausting ourselves in the attempt to invent new excuses for not paying class dues. Practice for May Day and for the class play ' The Admirable Crichton proceeded. On the evening of May 14 and the morning of May 1 5 a Senior Prom was held for the first time in Dickinson history. But in the scurry of the last minute rush we have not lost sight of the significance of our position as graduates. Nor do we fail to realize that the profitable and pleasant associations of the past two years will exert a vital influence upon our lives and plans for the future. ALICE VILLINGER. IMHBd

learned to appreciate the finer things and to form our own philosophy of life. There will be times when we will be called upon to make our own final decisions — aided only by our inner resources which have been developed so fully here. In a brief moment of self-examination we can see the total effect of the two years. These are just some of the ways in which we can measure the influence which Dickinson has had upon us. Other ways will suggest themselves. Nothing of all our experiences at Dickinson will mean more than the friendships formed here. It has been truly said that we are a part of all with which we come in contact — people, books, places, experiences. They all have their influence upon us. Our friends are those whom, after we have come to measure their influence upon us, we are willing or desire to have interwoven with our lives. They encourage, strengthen, inspire. Of the hundreds or thousands we may meet only a compara- tively few will be admitted into this elect circle of our friends. We are leaving school when there is great unrest everywhere, but perhaps out of it all a new social structure will emerge and because of our privileges, and our training we may have a part in the bringing about of this change. The class room and preparation for the same offered opportunities to develop clear thinking, honesty, and persistence. Now that these two years are over — you have shown us the light — we have the determi- nation and inspiration — may we fulfill our destiny! To every man there openeth a way. And the high soul takes the high road. And the low soul gropes the low. And in between on the misty flats. The rest drift to and fro: And to every man there openeth A high way and a low. And every man decideth The way his soul shall go. ARLINE FORBES. CLASS HISTORY A TROOP of happy freshmen, recruited from far and near — from Africa and Panama to Montoursville and Jersey Shore, we entered the portals of W. D. J. C. the sunny morning of September 16, 1935. Soon we managed to accustom ourselves to 7;45 classes as well as to the senile rules upon which the upper classmen insisted. At the Y. M. and Y. W. receptions we further developed an acquaintance with our fellow students and at the President ' s reception a month later we were formally presented to the faculty. omoQiiPfeiKoi
