GONE WITH THE WIND Wlell, another year has passed us by and Gone VVith The Wind . It just doesn't seem like school ought to end so soon or something, I donlt know it kind of leaves you with that vague wish it wouldn't feeling when you think of school closing. There are an awful lot of incidents you can think of when you look back on the school year but one of the first one that sticks out in my mind Cno cracksj is Freshman Day. All the little Freshmen ran around in most peculiar outfits, green caps and sore knees, saying Lowly, lowly Sophomore I am a holy worm oh I beg your pardon Holy, holy Sophomore I am a lowly worm . The aftermath wasn't bad when you consider that everybody was talking to everybody else. Then came Thanksgiving. The banner fight ended in a tie but College won the hockey game against some stiff competition from Academy. Mr. Seitner held the Chapel that morning and then we all adjourned to DINNAH . That night Green Curtain presented their annual Thanks- giving play. This year it was Alice-Sit-By-The-Fire. Alice are you sitting by the fire. Then one just naturally thinks of the Proms. They were all pretty swell but the sophomores' Hawaiian decorations were tops. It was during this Prom that the saying originated A man, bow your head in reverence . The Christmas Pageant was given a little later with all the trimmings.The Glee Club sang and the Speech department staged the show. Gut popped Christmas vacation on us and it seemed to pop right back in before we even got started, and then came those chummy little things . . . exams. The Chapel looked pretty bleak with those long wooden tables. Even remarks like Flunk now and avoid the June rush didn't cheer our quaking souls. The whole Glee Club donned white robes that looked like night gowns with elongated sleeves and gave an Easter Concert, just before we went home for Spring vacation. They may have looked like angels on stage, but are they? May Fete then began to take up everybody's thoughts and time, and spec- ulation as to who the May Queen and Court were ran pretty high before the May Queen's dinner. Anyhow we want to congratulate the two Jeannes. We all think it is swell. Well, the May Fete went oFf with a bang and everyone got a big lump in their throat when they saw the court come down. Jeanne looked just gorgeous as lylay Queen. Then came Commencement weekend, the informal dance, class day and the Library Sing which is always a little sad and lovely and then Commence- ment. Need I say more. This year has seen a lot of changes at Shimer. VVe have a lot of new privileges and a great deal more advantages than we had before. We all want to thank Mr. Bro too for his capable leadership. And to you that are leaving just remember Remember, For you girls belong to Shimer and Shimer belongs to you. R1'rA TRACE. 51

nine o'clock Sledgebottom will be around to inspect. Your first impulse is to hell with it, your second is to arise and shine, and I do mean shine. So you arise and dash for the johnny where you are sure to find two other freezing people trying to get dressed. The difficulties are hard to surmount but you usually manage to get out with all your clothes on. By this time it is ten of eight. You cautiously stick your nose out of the door into your freezing room. You trot out, shut the window and then donning your coat and mittens proceed to make your bed. By the time you have Finished, the bell has rung, so you rush to class only to be greeted by an irate You're late too . Which only goes to show that you aren't the only person that doesn't like inspection rules. But all this is topped off when you arrive at your domicile after several classes only to find a little note addressed to you and your roommate. It is sure to say Trace and Arff, your wastebasket is overHowing . RITA TRACE. AM I JUST ANOTHER BIRD LOVER The March Atlantic contained an article entitled, Bird Lover . I just read it last period although it was supposed to have been read about two weeks ago. It's quite amazing but I still remember the article. It tells about a man who is very fickle and is always changing his ideas about different hobbies. I must tell you about a little incident that happened to me a few days ago. It has nothing to do with hobbies but it's about birds. I am not a bird lover, at least, not now. I was walking out of Metcalf hall, after a pretty boring chapel. It was a lovely day, the sun was shining and the birds were singing. CDon't forget about the birds, I'll be back to them in about one more line.D As I said before, I was coming out of chapel, minding my own business, and enjoying nature when 'plop', something had landed on my cheek. QI said Ild be back to the birds and here I am.j I have often joked about things like that but never realized they happened to human beings. I went up to my room and washed myselfoff but I was still very disgusted with nature. I used to think birds were pretty little things but I've changed my mind. I think I'll appreciate the trees. You don't have to worry about them. Oh, dear, I just remembered-that's where the birds live. I guess I'll stay in the house this summer. BETTY KIVLAN. 50
