We ivrote our tale out and it fieemed satisfactory; read, it aloud, and it sounded abominable. We revised; lifted bodily paragraphs and transferred tliem; had an idea and felt it vanish; were ecstatic one moment; in despair the next; hesi- tated between the theme of the hero and the poet; between a dig- nified and simple style; finally our adventurous sense roused the idea of the Chaucer background, for to contemplate him puts all in a good luunor and in a mood of kindliness and tolerance toivard the world. We chose this .setting because in the years of our youth, col- lege life is something of a journey, beset with difficulties and enlivened with the deeper lore of learned texV ; and hi many respects it is similar to Chaucer ' s pilgrimage with his nyne and. twenty sondry folk to the tcmb of Thomas d Becket. Some of the quotations in this annual are Chaucer ' s exact phras- ing; others we presumed to change to Chaucer spelling. In years to come, as you peruse this book may a. procession of Junior College 1937- ' 38 memories come pouring out of it as did. Chaucer ' s congenial pilgrims pour into the Tabard Inn.

TRADITIONS: The Club programs center around the traditions that grew up with Doctor Johnson ' s club, and the customs followed in the London Inn are inspirations for the Club meetings. MEMBERSHIP: Girls who are especially interested in literature and other fine arts. SPONSORSHIP: Dr. Jane Feild Baskin, the founder, was its sponsor for twelve years.

In order to perpetuate the memory of the beloved sponsor in all activities, they struck the Ex from Ex-Cheeses so that all past and present members would be invited to the club meetings and would help to keep alive the traditions and ideals of the organization. iHHi pi. % FIRST ROW: Miss Bessie Kilgore, Sponsor; Patricia Sentz, President; Flu Brown, Secretary; Genevieve Gray, Treasurer; Mildred Ashniore.
