and our first class meetings with the facul¬ ty. Next into focus, in sinister form, whirls an allegorical picture of our first nine weeks’ marks—a monster with question marks for eye balls, its features resembling the combined characteristics of one hun¬ dred and thirty-one parents multiplied by two, to represent this momentous occa¬ sion. Following closely on the heels of this monster is his slayer in the form of our first class-sponsored dance, where we learn¬ ed the meaning of cooperation. Quickly then, in rapid succession, the wavy lines of our memory recall the Flarvest Queen Dance and the united efforts in our ship building venture, the S.S. Blackwell set¬ ting for the June Ball. Then there’s the crystal clear picture of our first day of Stu¬ dent Teaching, when we shakily faced a group of 30 or more unbending, uncom¬ promising, sinister children, who, just a day later, looked just like the smiling, trusting, eager, hopeful children we always knew they would be. With this last picture in mind, as we rise from our reveries and leave the pleas¬ ant fireside of memories, it becomes, all at once, easy to move foreward into life, to the fulfillment of our destiny, which is, with the help of God, “To take care of little things, The fledgling that have not their wings, ' Til they are big enough to fly— And stretch their wings across the sky.” — E.

As these memories, one by one, come in¬ to focus, we can review with serene calm CLASS OF 1953 now such frustrating events as Rat Week with its Olive Races, raw eggs, calesthenics,

MARIE DOYLE Marie will undoubtedly be long remembered by her fellow stu¬ dents for her pleasing personali¬ ty, her friendly smile, and, most of all, her hustle and spirit on the athletic field. She was seen most often studying in the library or striving for athletic improve¬ ment in the gymnasium. NANCY KEEN Nancy, the lovely wife of a grad¬ uate of this college, captured the hearts of her fellow students, as well as all who knew her. Her easy-going personality and her devotion to her chosen profession, her outstanding traits, will stand her in good stead in the years to come. VIRGINIA VAN SCIVER The teaching profession has tem¬ porarily lost the capabilities of “Ginny” (Graybeal) Van Sciver, who, at mid-semester, interrupted her studies in order to be with her Sailor husband in Florida. Virginia’s absence from those round table discussions, both in the Snack Bar and the classroom, is sorely missed. 16
