X, N-X- ..-- 1-9 'f-1 7 LES Bois - 4 Tlye Players With the attempt to Write of The Players come so many pleasant and amusing memories that the Writer might wish for the nonce to be an outsider so as not to be chargeable with nepotic praise. Candidly, it must be admitted that college dramatics at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods have all the effect of professional acting. The work of the players is not enjoyed simply because they are MARTHA E. DECKER MARTHA E. DECKER, President MARION KEELEY, Secretary Saint Mary-of-the-Woods girls and our best friends, but because their work is unmistakably fine. Always, The Players sacrifice quantity for quality, moreover, this year the War activities have inter- fered somewhat With the plans of the Society. They had intended putting on, besides monthly skits, a series of episodes from Dickens. Though the pro- gram was not realized, the spirit of the society sur- vives intact, its existence and reputation respectively justified and heightened by such artistic perform- ances as Flattery and Mrs, Snagsby's Guests. Les Bois 1918 Wishes The Players continued prosperity and success, and hopes, that in 1919 this most necessary college society will establish itself more firmly than ever. 7773 X, S -.- - - v .

M e m o r i e s l -, may come and ' ,, , memories may go, but some memories that will stay put a r e o f t h e happy hours when, young and twenty, We clattered along winding country lanes in the early morning, arace with the wind, our horses' hoofs beat- ing a rat-a-tap-tap to the tintinnabulation of our grave senioral thoughts. Methinks the pleasant scenes of Indiana farmsteads when the frost is on the pumpkin and the fodder's in the shock, or when the verdure of May makes lovely the land, will come back to us as vividly when we are old, old ladies, as they are present to us now. And then there were long, long tramps, memorable for the gay comradeship which obliterates the dis- tance, genuine tramps-not lazy strolls on French heels-five miles, eight miles, and once twelve miles to and back from the state line where we stood with one foot in Indiana and the other in Illinois. Many and joyful the hours at golf, when our faces grew brown beneath the sung merry the ring and the roll of the skates as We raced down the avenue at breakneck speed! And the smooth tennis courts were a sheer delight as we followed the flying balls. The welcoming pool was a favorite haunt when days were warm and books were dull. What splashing and laughing under the iron-beamed roof as we dived from the old springboard! And the basket-ball fioor conjures up recollections of hard-fought battles, when the gallery rocked with cheers of victory. A golden year of happy, happy hours-and to all the scenes of play and fun, Here's pansiesg that's for memory. I II' N 'lli K I' ' M ' I ,.,, undred and seven
