32 THE LLAMARADA ITenih Volume 'THE GYMNASIUM This modern and finely equipped building has been leased for the purpose of physical training by Katherine Bill and Edith Shepard. It is sub-leased occasion- ally for college dramatics, the stage being admirably fitted with scenery to suit every occasion, provided the occasions are limited. Owing to the peculiarly superior tone of the piano, the aceompaniments for the gymnasium classes are martial and spirited. The faculty basketball team holds its reuniens in the gymnasium, and the four classes play games together each spring. RESIDENCE HALLS Seven residence halls have been erected for the use of the faculty and students. It is herehexclusively that the social life of the students is carried on. liach hall is furnished with an elevator, to be used for baggage only, which is available to any girls who can procure a basket and the services of an elevator-man. The houses are practically safe from fire because of the admirable work done by the fire brigade, and also to the vigilance of the legislative body of the college in prohibiting the importation of such combustibles as benzine, methyl spirits and wood alchohol. RAILWAY, 'TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE CONNECTIONS Electric cars leave Holyoke for the college on the hour, half hour and the quarter before the hour, reaching South Hadley some time during the same day provided the Holyoke l lier has preceded them. Cars leave the college as often, special facilities being offered in holiday seasons, when the students leave the college in larger numbers. Telegrams and telephone messages may be addressed to South Hadley, Mass., via Holyoke. The messages will be telephoned between Holyoke and the college except during busy seasons, when they may be delayed for a few days. Provided a girl should ever receive a message she may reply to it at the pay station near Miss lVIcAuslan's store before 6 p. m.g after this hour in Mary Brigham Hall.

34 THE LLAIVIARA DA ITCHUW V0lUmC Senior Class Histor IA specimen paper from a Structure examination on the famous novel, One hundred and fifty-five little I9o4,ers and how they grew, -given in January, 1914.1 I. VVhat is the theme of this novel ? 'Give reasons for your answer. II. lll. IV. V. VI. dns. The theme is, Haud ye leal g because all the characters follow this as their motto. What do you understand by the exciting moment ? Where would you place it in this book? flns. The exciting moment is the moment when the chief characte1's are lirst turned from a state of repose into a state of excitement. In this novel it comes at the point where, on the Ifreshrnan sleighride, one sleigh-full of girls is overturned. Define episode. Cite four from this book. fins. An episode is an interesting event which is l10t considered hy critics as vitally important to the theme. Instances in this novel are the dramatic suc- cesses, Esmeraldo, A Scrap of Paper, When Patty Went to College, and the Coney Island Vaudeville. Illustrate the incident which reveals character and the situation which deter- mines character. Ant. An incident which reveals character is found in the admission of' half the IQO4CI'S to the Debating Society. A situation which determines character occurs in the chapter describing the Junior top-spinning. This situation presents the necessity of learning to spin a topg development of character in the girls is therefore determined. Where do you place the climax? Ant. Considering climax as the moment of' greatest suspense I should place it at the time ofthe Junior interviews with Miss C. Greene. What chapter would you select as best representing the nature of tragic effect? Why? ' Any. I should select .the scene in the I'resident's oflice immediately following the night of the posting of the Freshmen proscriptionsg because here we find involved the three necessary factors of tragedy-struggle, suffering, and causality, effect ing through pity and fear the proper purgations of these emotions. VII. What situations in the book are the strongest ? Give reasons for your opinion. dns. The situations in the account of the ,lunior Prom seem Strongest to me, because of' the great interest in the new set of characters introduced at that time,
