Adams, Frances McCombs, Nathalie Webb and Elizabeth Zilles are the ones We see most oRen, though Ida did take time off from her social work to visit once in a while before she went East in February. Caroline Comstock drives out occasionally, as does Margaret Storkelwho is busy with her studio in Santa Barbara. Ruth Mc- Cleneghan and Helen HoeEr are living together in Pasadena, while Ruth does laboratory work at the Pasadena Hospital. Elizabeth Paull is working with her father. Nfargaret Rae is working in Phoenix, and Nlary Fischer is secretary to the Y.W.C.A. at Clarinda, Iowa. A number of the class are continuing their scholastic endeav- ors in the Easwtg Caroline Bennett at Columbia, Wii1iH'ed Rey- lick at the Marta Oatman School in New York, and Eunice Hatch at the University of Nlichigan. We heard that Ada Watkiiis is teaching patients to sew in a hospital in New Iersey. Although Marty Shirk began the year teaching, she returned second semester to take more work in literature here in Clare- mont. Elizabeth Hobbs in Redlands is the one who is now being pedagogical for the class. Next year the Alumna: body will increase with another class, and will soon be a strong influence in guiding the college. 1 -- 1931 SENIOR GARDEN PARTY

SENIORS ENIORS! It seems that we are Seniors. Graduations, like weddings and funerals, are unavoidable, and since Dr. Alexander's happy idea of graduating us on the install- ment plan does not appear feasible, we shall all be dumped at once on an unsuspeeting world. If we could be quietly let loose in the depths of African jungle or on a lone promontory of Tiera del Fuego, we should be, perhaps, less noxious. But here we are feeling ever so important, and what can we do but talk about ourselves. We are, after all, the second graduating class, and we have leht a few traces of our presence in removing the new look from the antiques, dropping ink on rugs, and contrib- uting a few gray hairs to our estimable professors. Possibly they will sigh when we depart-with relief Since the E111 of 1928, when we arrived in clouds of dust and flies, with a gangling, callow, eager aspect, untroubled by our later wisdom, we have seen steam shovels, house mothers, con- freres, skunks, trees, even a professor of two, come and go. We have battled with metaphysical problems, and fi-om Fresh- man philosophy class these symposia were continued in the deepest recesses of Clark I-Iall. Not much bothered by the pres- ent alumnae, the first class, we settled down, at length, to a little correlation and cramming and culture. My, how we cor- related contrapuntal music, the American frontier, Isaiah, and artificial parthenogenesis of the sea-urchin and his friends. With sobs and tears we sorted out those of the largest size to brave the rigors of the Sophomore year. We lost some Tonies and Kays but came back with the happy prospecft of annoying new Freshmen. These young things were started out properly attending classes in Balch Hall, clad decorously in all that could be desired in the way of daytime apparel, notably black stock- ings and green ribbons.
