Class History In the first century five brave pilgrims made their first appearance in Spring al- ley and settled on the Mount Vernon cam- pus. Dudley, Adrian, Florence, Pippy, and Bunny were th e founders of our mod- ern civilization of the Foxhall Road re- gion. A fashion show for the promotion of the sale of war bonds was an important ev ent to the ancients. Adrian looked chic in a bathing suit and was positively stun- ning in flannel pajamas. Even one’s en- thusiasm made the show a great success. Fate in the ccnturv a dance was given, this time at the Sulgrave Club. This, however, was not the only festiv ity. Our class, having received 100 ' . in citizen- ship for the whole year, was awarded a half dav vacation from school. We decided to spend this vacation at Glen Echo w here we had a marvelous time. The second period in the history of the class of ’48 is known as the “Dark Ages . I lie class now assumed the more dignified title of “sophomores , and in addition the fi ve original students had become “old girls . In this period the population was more than double what it was in the an- cient times, and such illustrious persons as Elizabeth Johnston of the mov ing pic- ture industry, Miggie Johnson of the A. A., and that well remembered genius, Maja Weisl. made their appearance on the campus. The main social occurrence w as a formal dance at the Wesley 1 lcights Club and a trip to Skv top, where most of the girls were introduced to the exciting sports of “V inter Wonderland”. We held a pic- nic in Rock Creek Park followed bv Class ight, when the plays and awards were given. At Baccalaureate and graduation we were no longer the last to enter the church, but the day we should graduate still looked far ofF. The beginning of the Renaissance, or our Junior year, was marked with great confusion, as the new buildings were not vet finished. Our class was again double what it had been the prev ious year. I he first dance, given at the Wesley I lcights Club, was followed bv a welcome Christ- mas vacation, which was followed bv a not-so-vvelcome exam week. Everywhere the spirit of the Reformation was visible. Next, clubs in art, dramatics, typing, and Glee Club, were organized for the pursuit of higher learning. In addition to a group of one-act plays presented bv the Dra- matic Club, “H.M.S. Pinafore” was pre- sented by the Glee Club. The Student-Faculty basketball game •45 24 £»
