No mountaineers! the mountaineers of old South Had!” A royal salute to Outing Club, these words from our famous Mountaineer Song. But the Outing Clubbers do not limit themselves to the Holyoke ranges, for in their blue station wagon “Mountain Time, they go scooting over New England to other colleges, to find new friends, and new mountains to climb.

There were the days when work was what came in between week-ends. . . Senior dance w as no more than a dream of the night before when Sophomores began pressing evening gowns and seeing about a room for the Man. We seniors try to pretend that we need sleep. March 2 The class of 40 passed under an arch of skis into a winter wonderland for their Soph Hop, on February 19, two years ago. Anne Preston was chairman of the dance, and the Barbary Coast Orchestra from Dartmouth, supplied the music. Chapin was decorated w ith snow men, snow-glistening trees, and white balloons, to give a total effect of wintry beauty. Before the balcony was de- serted, goggling hoi-poloi bombarded the dancers with snow' and snowballs.” Poor jealous balconyites! Pegasus rode high on March 2nd, when the class of ‘42 celebrated en masse at Soph Hop. In honor of the occasion, Chapin audi- torium was decorated in true leap year spirit, with a figure of Pegasus pursuing her man. as the outstanding motif. Silhouettes in red, black and white, symbol- izing the old leap year custom, at various seasons of the year, were shown about the hall. Johnny Albert with his orches- tra was the man who made the music. Pat Sanford headed the com- mittee for the affair, and assist- ing her were Priscilla Cruik- shank. Jane Drury, Joy Sibley, Betty Anne Heimark, E. A. Hemingway. Milly Rowe, Ellie Williams and Barbara Behrc. The gowns we hear, were superb. The only way we poor upperclassmen could learn about the Creat Doings, was to pay the price, and gape from the balcony ... we tried, hut the nostalgic longing for youth sent us home to an early bed. We contented our- selves, by reading about our Little Sisters elegance in Spinach, in the next News. March 9 This year the Senior-Faculty Reception was held informally in Wilbur. From four to six, faculty guests, escorted by members of the senior class, were received, and enter- tained. Tea was served buffet style, and peo- ple w andered casually from group to group, or stayed at a table, and chatted with those who came to visit. 30
