Freshman lass Histor As a dazed and bewildered group we faced the Pine Manor campus late last September. With fearful qualms we entered Grove House for the first time. At once the friendly spirit of the Seniors who pinned name tags on our coats dimmed many of our anxieties, Miss Hallis uncanny ability to remember names and faces helped to make us feel less self-conscious. In the days that followed, our accommodating big sisters helped us to adjust ourselves to college ways. Slowly we emerged as individu- als, and took our places in Pine Manor life. We elected our president, Carol Comfort, our class advisor, Miss Hudson, and learned through cooperation with them the potentialities of our class. Returning from our first class vespers, we felt a sense of unity and desire for advancement. We accepted the routine of classes, meetings, and afternoons in the vil. Before long, we had representatives in the various clubs and organizations on campus and through these activities we became better acquainted with the Seniors and faculty. We appreciate the friendliness and cooperation received from them in all our enter- prises. Now we were ready to take a more active part in leading the Pine Manor com- munity. During Christmas vacation we first realized that we represented Pine Manor and were proud to discuss it with our friends from other colleges. Upon our return in January we were eager to contribute something to the college. Our first effort was to give an old-clothes party for the Seniors in Westlea. The informal atmosphere and enthusiasm of the entire college combined to make this unique party a great success. The next Saturday night found us again in Westlea for the first Freshman dance ever held in Pine Manor. March came and the Freshman basketball team defeated the Seniors, for the first time in three years, in tournament play. We joined the Seniors in War-Relief work and helped them to send a Rolling Kitchen to England. After a siege of flu, Spring vacation arrived, and though it was a week ahead of those of other colleges, this did not prove to be too great a handicap, because it en- abled some of us to enjoy Boston's Metropolitan Opera Season. One of the Hrst Spring Saturdays, we participated in a bicycle ride and picnic sponsored by the Outing Club. Then tennis, baseball, lacrosse, and golf took up those few hours not spent in studying and sunworshiping. May Day, as always, was a tremendous success. Somehow we survived finals, and took our parts in the Com- mencement exercises: singing on the hill, honoring the Seniors with supper, and watching the Graduation Exercises in the Wellesley Congregational Church. At the Tables Down at Seiler's we bid our sorrowful farewell to the Seniors. We look forward to carrying on the work and traditions which we have learned to respect throughout the past year. l52l
