Male veterans invaded the college causing fleeting furor. Newspapers cartooned Simmons Goes Co-edf' Former WACS and WAVES ex- changed knapsacks for textbooks and entered Sim- mons with less fanfare but just as much purpose. Simmons alumnae who had joined the armed forces began to resume their places in civilian life. Many faculty members returned to classrooms from war and government service. In classes knitting needles slackened or ceased clicking Bundles for Britain and sweaters for soldiers. Simmons looked to its building projects. Students wondered how long it would be before other halls like Evans would rise on campus. College architects were also planning a new library, a science build- ing, and a social unit. The corridors and classrooms of the main building were painted a soft shade of green, first step in post-war planning. The postman became less popular when vet- erans started delivering their Nlettersi' in person. Diamonds sparkled on many a left hand. The effects of victory reached every sea and shore, every river and bank, even Muddy Riverw and the Simmons community which borders it. .lbestzf V5 A Qfo QC' 45' PQ, 9 17,0 Q11 Qflie - I 49 0,6 Q Of VA-V A Xml K XQljff1'w.., M M M dvr, fn 'fn H. ,, 1.1 dtjggtfg
