First Love I fell in love the very moment I first laid eyes on him. Right then and there I knew that he must be mine and I determined to win him over. He is a type which no one can help loving. He is the most strikingly handsome creature I have ever seen, very slender but strongly built Q one might even call him stream- linedjg when he walks, his even stride and poised carriage reveal a strong pride within himself 5 his very motion is so smooth and so graceful that it is a pleasure to watch him. His hair, a beautiful black with a hint of a wave, is soft and silky to the touch, his eyes, too, are dark, and deeply expressive and when they first saw mine, the way they lighted up, I could tell that he liked me, too. Since that first memorable meeting I have seen him quite frequently, but now at last I have won him over and I know that he is really mine. He is my constant companion and has often proved his loyalty and devotion. He is always ready and eager to do anything for me whenever I ask, and even does little things which I do not ask and which please me even more. If I am ever in any trouble or danger he seems always to be able to sense itg he comes to my rescue, like a noble hero, ready to battle any obstacle in order to protect me, and his valiant efforts and deep concern always fill me with great pride. Whenever he sees me approaching he rushes up to meet me, with a happy expression in his eyes. Even after having seen him so many times, it never fails to make my heart leap when I see him again. Quite frequently, we take long walks together and I talk to him almost constantly gas I am sometimes inclined to doj. Whenever I am feeling blue I pour out all my troubles to him. He just sits and listens attentively to my tales of woe, with concern in his deep brown eyes, but never saying a word or offering any advice. Nevertheless, I know that he understands, and his silence is just his way of conveying his sympathy, for he can always sense my every change of mood and he changes his own to match mine. He is truly a very remarkable creature, he seems to attract the admiration of everyone who sees him, and I just cannot help loving him as I do. Each new day and each thoughtful action brings me closer to the realization that A dog is man's best friend. MARJORIE JOHNSON, '42 rs fl .QQ

ijx L ll, 52 l if The Senior Pla Che Happy Days A comedy by Claude-Andre Puget CHARACTERS Francine-young, more serious than the others ' Barbara Peck sisters Marianne-less sedate, in love with Oliver if and Constance Douglas Bernard-fretful and temperamental, loves brother Pgrngtte Leon Deraps Pernette-the youngest, sensitive and attractive Q Mary Hill sister Oliver-lordly and sophisticated Q and Robert Smith g brother Michael-handsome, daring, and charming Harold Berglund According to tradition, each year the Senior Class delves into the realm of the theatre in order to try its luck in the make-believe world and to display some of its remarkable hidden talents. The class of '42 selected for its production The Happy Days, a delight- ful French comedy, which was concerned with the love problems and complexi- ties of youth. The scene of action is a house on an island in the St. Lawrence River where circumstances have isolated five young cousins, three of whom are girls. Mari- anne is very much in love with Oliver, a rather cynical fellow, who apparently takes her affections for granted. In desperation, Marianne and Pernette invent a rival-tall, handsome, dashing--a French version of Rhett Butler. As if by fate, he is transformed to life in the person of Michael, an aviator, who has been forced down on the island. He ruffles the peaceful serenity of the island, capti- vating all three girls by his charm. All three fall in love with him, but Michael, in his worldly manner, takes them in his stride. After-tactfully maneuvering a suitable love scene with each, he takes his leave, satisfied that happiness has been restored to the island refuge. -MARJORIE JOHNSON K .c trgtsiiiie'
