SCRIBBLES FROM SENIORS' DIARIES I 935-February 22. just came up from our Washington party,-such cute favors, logs contain- ing our fortunes. So I'm to be a tight- rope walker. Bee Wolf did a good job cutting down the cherry tree. Good eats-clever stunts--had a great time. Gee! My days here are getting happier. I 935-May 20. A debutante party!! Something new and different. Mother Irene with all 'her charm presented daughter Bea- trice. What an array of flaming gowns. Red letter day-my first formal. I936-May 22. They had a grand hike today to lVIiller's woods-hot-dogs, ice cream, and all that goes with a good picnic. Rode the pony-some fell off-I didn't get to go. Had to practise how 'ito die. What a job. Play will be over soong then I can die whatever way I want to. I936-May 8. The first tea dance of the Academy. How we waited for Saint Vincent's Bus. The line up in the loungeg Sister J. E. and Father Edmund calling the names. My first dance-first date. It must have been his too-my feet hurt. Must write Mother all about him. His eyes were very, very blue and his hair -oh! so wavy! 1938--March 30. Kodaking for the yearbook. My feet are so tired. I walked with Sister J. carrying the udummyf' Prom nine until four we saw ourselves and others in all poses-in cap and gowng in uniformg in old-fashioned gowns. Look for me in the yearbook among the carolers. I have on the red cap, blue scarf, yellow sash, green cloak. The camera stood a lot, but finally broke on the last picture--poor freshies! I9 3 7-February 2 7. Are we in Dutch? I guess the four of us will be scattered to the four winds. There's talk about moving us into the Freshman Dorm. What a hu- miliation for juniors. Some of us had food--and since our stomachs craved nourishment, we ate. Dear Diary, what would you have done? We be- gan about l:30-finished at 2:30- slept well-arose happily-but then- were caught. What a feast we had! What a headache now! Hope we aren't expelled. l93 7-January IO. Everything went wrong today. Did- n't get up until second bellg skipped my walk to the Uangellu met a 5'j2i conduct deduction on the NOTICE PI..EASE: had to eat that jellog was caught playing jazz at practise timeg went to the store without permission: didn't know my geometry theorem: was late for rosary-talked at study- now I'm ready to hop into bed. I9 3 7-September 2 2. Corn roast this evening. Broke down and bought two boxes of marsh- mallows for the occasion. We sang songs to Sister Joseph Nlary-a sort of farewell. She sails in two days. One senior sad-several freshmen still weeping. Told ghost stories around the fire after the unclerclassmen re- turned to the building. It makes me sort of sad-our last corn roast at Se- ton with the class of '38l I93 7-October 31. Feast of Christ the King. First day to appear in cap and gown. How proudly we walked down the aisle. It seemed as though everyone was look- ing at us. My cap felt so heavy, but guess one gets used to it. How we have waited for this day! Took pic- tures at the sundial and on the east campus. Mother sent me fried chicken and brownies. Had a great party. Huge Forty-two
