BLACKSTICK Freeman, Howell, Z ckel The girl who writes for fun in the face of her regular papers is likely to find herself with a strip of black tape down her nose and a sign around her neck saying “ Black- stick.” As a member, she'll meet with the others to discuss stories and ideas. “Pan” is a far cry from “Pangynaskean,” but this quarterly retains the spirit of its former name by being well-rounded. Its stories, poems, and essays combine high quality with genuine readability proof that at MHC we have plenty of writing talent! sure lence ht in and way ncan r the Jgct i the long but we :kcd Harr man; Rowers; Harper, editor; Gins bur$ PAN 23

LLAMARADA Vogian; Williams; Bass, editor: Schuman; Drake; Freeman; Me skin We started out last Spring with boundless enthusiasm and appalling naivete not quite sun what was meant by ‘‘off-set”or character,’’ but determined to find out. We lost our confidence 9 in the first interview, our sanity trying to work out a theme, and almost lost our eyesight ir the mazes of Futura light and Futura dark. But those nine-thirty meetings were fun, anc fortified with ice-cream cones and cigarettes we wrestled with problems and laughed our wav through plenty of blank walls. Sally and Elaine made those incomprehensible figures mean something, Margie kept the flash-bulbs flashing, Bunny went on a campus-wide search for the typical Mount Holyoke hands to sketch. Kathy tracked down the ads that kept our budget out of the red, Ducky gave us a dream of a Llamie dance, Jean never came out twice with the same number of copy-characters. Nesha, the head of us all, kept us going and faced the long dark bridge to South Mandelle after meetings! For a while there were only seven of us, but there dawned the wonderful day when we discovered that with able staff assistants, we wouldn t have to meet that deadline alone. Now that it’s all over, and none of us have cracked up yet, we agree that Llamie was an experience we’ll never forget! 22

Our active Red Cross Board gives its mem- bers both excellent experience and much personal satisfaction. Through it Holy- okers mav contribute their blood, funds, and personalities (at Leeds Veteran Hos- pital) and receive courses in First Aid and Water Safety. 24 FRIENDS DF IRT This is the fiftieth anniversary of Dwight Hall, and you may be very sure that the college has been friendly with art. Visible signs of the alliance were the eighty works of art exhibited, for the eye to listen to music—old and new, painted and sculp- tured. Romig; Gins burg; Harper, chairman STUDENT FUND With a French cafe, mind reader, auction, and descent into the Inferno, Student Fund, headed by Nancy Wagner, took us to the Great White Way. Macbeth, penny- pitching, and rat-races were fun—and while we enjoyed ourselves, we paid for our radio.station. Bazaar occupation RED EHDSS W illiams, Miss Boggs, Longyear, M ss Cogswell
