ALUMNAE HE First Class is no longer the First Class. It is the Alumnae Body of which Scripps is duly Proud, and on the members of which we keep a watchfiil eye lest they stray too far ftom the Alma Mater. And they have dem- onstrated their interest in the college by sponsoring a lecture this spring in Bridges auditorium by Robert lvfillikan, the pro- ceeds of which they presented to the Scholarship Fund. Majorie McGee is president of the Alumnae Association which each month circulates a report, including an informal letter by some member of the Qculty, to keep the alumna: in- formed of aflairs that take Place within the cloistered walls. They have even appointed a committee on the State of the College! As we expecfted, the number who have married in the Past year is not small. Ellen Clark, Elizabeth Ellen Long, Frankie Fisher, I-lelen Norton, Evanna Wiclierski and Louise West are those who have now taken up the art 'of home-making, which Mrs. Sait taught them so careliilly last year. Four of the members of the class of '3 1 have returned to Clare- mont and environs and are continuing graduate work. Dorothy 43

Trees are a beautifiil addition to any college campus, and this year saw the Scripps campus increasing its woods. The Senior class gave as its giR to the school a grove of liquid amber and sycamore trees planted to the south of Dorsey I-lall. The library acquired a stately row of cypress trees around the front steps which add dignity to the building. The most striking addition to the trees on the campus is the group of Olive trees which have been planted between the library and Clark Hall. These four H111 grown trees appeared rather suddenly in one day and were transplanted into deep holes that had been the hazard of' the vicinity for aweek. Wlmeii the students recovered fifom the shock of finding four huge trees mysteriously growing in strange places, it was explained that they were a gift to the school ftom Mr. and Mrs. el-larvey Nichols of' Pomona. The library received a giH of eight books fiom Mr. Von Her- tig, vice-consul of San Francisco, dealing with political and historical events in Germany since 1871 . These are most inter- esting to us since the culture of' that country forms a large part of' our language department studies. THE OLIVE TREES ENROUTE
