Every fall traditional step-singing held on the colonnade steps attracted commuters and dorm students alike. As November approached, prepa- rations for MIC Dance, first all-college dance of the year, were started. Thanksgiving vacation past, the refectory echoed with laughter at the antics of the jesters at Olde English Dinner. Following the presentation of the Christmas pageant and carol- singing, Christmas holidays began. As a break in classroom routine. N011-s Dance supplied an evening of pleasure at its twenty-first birthday ball. Faculty members and seniors dined informally at the Senior-Faculty Supper in April. and lNIay Day brought the Sophomore-Senior Strawberry Breakfast and tree-planting. The All-College Field Day, with the Student- Faculty Baseball Game, and May Party wound up a very successful school year, and everyone began vacation after finals.

ln spite of the ever-present emphasis on classes and careers, Simmons girls still find time to sink into the familiar green leather chairs in the Lounge and run out for a candy har at Showcase. VVhile a few stop to admire the display of college banners, the familiar cry of VVhat have you got to eat? rings in the halls. For every one who has the ambition and the energy to make thc four-flight climb to the library, there's another who is cramming hastily for an exam in the butt room or in a Vacant class room on the first floor. The traditional twelve o'clock rush in the cafeteria always finds a line of hungry people waiting for their chance at the food. In the early fall and late spring, the back steps are a favorite haunt of professors and students, smoking and chatting. On sunny days, the lawn is covered with sun-worshippers and outdoor classes. lNIeet me at Info! is t.he cry that jams the front hall with time-conscious students.
