sternglass just as easy as pie When Eliza Leslie of Philadelphia published her book of recipes in 1832, she initiated the startling improvement of listing the ingredients with their necessary quantities at the beginning of each recipe. This innovation, along with simplified and clear directions which she worked out, served as the master plan from which our present easy- to-follow recipes are drawn. We are sure, however, that Miss Leslie never suspected the lengths to which her original ingenuity would be drawn. rouge! sop Host BY economics

Did somebody say, appreciation''? Somebody did, and Guy Chigi recalls bringing that live chicken into the classroom, Remember Junior year? The room was dark for so long that we forgot who was in the class, Before Christmas, 1945, we had made blobs of clay look some- what like Greek vases. Can we ever forget the expectant thrills of reaching down into the deep, dark, clay crock? or the horror that froze everyone when some poor soul's effort was deemed unworthy of the kiln and was forcibly destroyed? Wyn Turner and Myrl Allen. still remember that field trip that started out so prosaically and ended in Philadelphia. Just ask Janet Sugerman and Stasia Ross how they found the railroad in City Hall. Stan Margolin probably will never forget the consternation he caused in that all-girl school when he innocently fol- lowed the rest of us into their life class. Roger Preu joined the class along with Michael Truss. Marian Pearlman announced that we would soon have to call her Marian Groce. Speaking of engagements, we had a few skirmishes in the photo lab, and learned all about exposures and developments. Bruce Hunter, that expert on the south seas, helped us by showing kodachromes. Ed Hagan's memories of the class begin with September, 1946, when he and three other veterans came back to Art Ed. Our Senior year seemed to fly by, and Arnold Thurm never did get an answer to 28 his question, If a dog is a man's best friend, why are girls so popular? . The new Art Ed lounge opened just before we left for practice teaching, but we were too busy with Venus to make use of it. Remember Walter Kinkel as Rod- ney and Olga Paul Rosedale as the detective? It finally came off—the play—and we all held our breath as Carrie Wobber said her famous line about stepping out. Ted Mead decided to shave, after all, so we had to make him up for his part. With the conclusion of the play, our col- lege days came suddenly to an end—an end brightened by Lynn's new sparkler. Practice teaching, final exams, and then the excitement of graduation made the last days go very quickly indeed. As the group at the Convention sits and talks it over, we realize that it was fun, although we never expected to live through it. We all grew up a bit, though that was not always obvious to the faculty. Anyway, that's how we see it.
