29 Wendell Street, Cambridge, Mass. MY nic.-IR MIxc-- March 5, IQIQ. There has been quite a change at 29 since you were last here. The crowd, with the exception of Rachel, Thelma, Kathlyn, and Dot Trask, is entirely new. We have a good bunch of Freshmen who are rather ram- bunctious at times, makingit pretty lively for Kathlyn and Dot, our only Seniors, who must keep them duly respectful and dignified. As usual, the Freshmen are very diligent, and try to have regular gym classes up on the third floor, and they do not exclude apparatus or handstands either. This doesnlt last very long, because our lovely matron, Mrs. Foote, asks them to leave that part of the work for school hours. ,Two particularly interesting and entertaining Freshman are Babe Schleifer and Dido Jennings. They even cut their hair to amuse us. You can't imagine how ohliging they are. Clever, tool Duffy Hart, for in- stance, writes poetry on most commonplace subjects-mending sneakers, and the like. WVhen you come to 29 sometime, ask her about it. There are more Freshmen here, but l must leave a few surprises for you when you visit us. l'm sure our infant, Mlm Sawyer, will afford you especial amuse- ment. The Juniors, I think, you knew last year. Hazel Nlurray, and her big black eyes, Nlac lVlcCormickg and Peg Harkins, the girl With the smilell You never would recognizge Si Porter, though. How things have changed! This year, she has.,he.r hair done, gets all dolled up, and goes to town innumerable times but not alone. Bob-cut hair seems to fascinate her somehow! Meryle Hauser is still going it strong at school, and is a lirm believer in Glee Club rehearsals. Perhaps you remember who leads the band. Surely you remember those two good old scouts, Flora Mitts and Schoenie. ' .C Q We have a most interesting,'hl iseful of girls. Do pack up and come to see us soon. ,Q-F I Gwen, the girl who likes-Smith so well, sends her love along with mine. BETTY. 2 I CHAUN CY lNl.YxRG.bxRIa'I' Blii-XVIER . ELIQANUR G.-xL'r .

WENDELL HALL Mlle. Mari lVhirl, the famous medium, foretells the future of the dwellers at NVendell I-Iall. As she gazes into the crystal globe her voice drones on, never ceasing, foretelling events of the hereafter which make our blood run dry. Ah! Helen King, you are to be famous, noted from shore to shore for the blouses you wear-blouses covered with Iler crochet, that new cro- chet., It is not for nothing that you crocheted during dry lectures, Babe. Bobbie Fatzinger, yours is a strange life, you are doomed to answer questions of love, writing the lovelorn and making matches. XVhat is this I see? Tina Rowia Home roi: Bixlsiias. Yes, that is true, Dot is at her old tricks as of yore. ' A And now the scene is changed. I see a woman at a desk in Great Neck, L. I. In her hands are the strings with which she regulates affairs of international importance. Brownie, thanks to lVIr. Hermann's train- ing, that woman must be you. A loud cry, she dopes! she dopes! I tell you she dopesf' Bertie, yours is a sad, sad fate-for one so young to dwell in an asylum, but over- study often causes it, so they say. A lIgLIl'C-29-Wl'l2'llI can it mean, and love beside it, and then Faye Studio for Dancing. VVhat should a dancer want of love? lt puzzles me, but the crystal grows dim, and I can see no more. ' The VVorld Famous Skater, Madame Edna, no ice too soft, no day too cold for her exhibitions. A little softer music, please, Miss Mann, and not so jazzy, for even Madame Edna cannot keep up to you, though it may be all right for Sargent dances. VVho is this? Anne, the noiseless talker! She is so noisy that you can't hear her, she does not seem to have changed, for thus was she always. In direct contrast to her I see a world famous debator, Doris Riggs. Yes, she was trained in that wondrous society of debators, 25 Weiidell, although too bashful in the old days to let her talent be known to any but her closest friends. What is this? I cannot make it out: a Bunny at the head of a uni- versity and among her pupils, Jimmie, Jr., son of the renowned Rosa. And Peggy, oh, she makes the most wonderful posters for Bunny's school! which at once advertised the school and put her on a plane with Maxfield Parrish. A soldier! Is it possible? Yes, it is Billy, but with a ring upon her left hand. Can it be that she has forgotten her vows of former days? I see a train speeding westward. There is a girl in the train-oh, ic Phil on her way to California where Steve has opened a conserva- sic. I can't quite understand that, for the last time I consulted Georgia appeared as Phil's surroundings, but-yes, that must -it was in winter that she was in Georgia, while now, since it is starting for California.

But our house-councillor is most charming, Our impulsive, excitable, brilliant, lovable Hans. Julia is another Senior, a good winner and a good loser. Helen has dark eyes Full of mystery. Clara Brook left us to Win the war And then she returned. We are glad she returned. The Juniors are a quiet bunch Tending strictly to business, Except when taking in church socials. But the Freshmen! Oh Boy! They all have dates. They fascinate. Duff dances. Clara looks at you with those sleepy eyes. Lorraine giggles. Topsy is always singing and telling funny stories. Evvy smiles like an angel. Pam is jolly and feeds one with apples. Bobby is a little nun. But just Wait. Spider has been to Smith. She has proclivities for upperclassmen. Betty is the original black-eyed Bess Of The Highwaymanf' , I.ucile is very wise. She learns by asking questions. Jane is tall and Willowy, with dimples, Too good for the likes of us. Georgia has a cleverness that is in keeping with her hair. It fairly crackles. lVIarjorie Wears glasses and gushes, just like a girl at home. Florence has a profile, and admires Nlaxfield Parrish. Temperament? Illl say she has! Tommy is our darling noisy kid. Robie poses as a Freshman. She is in a class by herself. She is far above us. She is from Nlaine. Like Doctor Sargent.
