With pride we present it, and with the hope that it may inspire future classes to emulation. Commencement Day 1918 is drawing near all too quickly. We can scarcely realize that four years have passed since September 18, 1914, when we gathered together at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, the largest Freshman class which had entered Guerin Hall. The first few days of our College career passed quickly and in quite the ordi- nary way. There were the usual number of weepers, but we soon forgot them in getting used to one another, and in settling ourselves in our new home. Tactfully, we always remembered that we were Freshmen, and, perhaps as a sign of our ffl! M 'Wm T' To .- ...., ,. .f. vifv ' . . ...gt If If- ' S Alggu Fifty -eight

Our motto, Launch Out Into the Deep, tells our ambition. We chose the dog- wood as our flower, not only because of its singular beauty and its color scheme of green and white, but also because of the prominence of its snowy branches in the forests about Saint Mary-of-the-Woods. Al- ways respectful to our Seniors, we established the custom, which has since become a rule, of opening the elevator doors for Upperclassmen. Our athletic record could not be surpassed, for the Freshmen never suffered defeat, and the Upperclassmen wel- comed us into the College basket-ball team which won the championship from the Academy. We were no less successful in literary pursuits, for we published the first Freshman number of the Aurora, a feat so stupendous that it has never been attempted since! The Freshman Song, with which each Freshman class is presented every year, is ours. Other classes may claim it, and help the Freshmen sing it, but our interest in it is of a maternal nature, for we were the first to sound its notes in Guerin Hall. Our Val- entine party was the first of the many original and successful social affairs at which we have enter- tained our fellow-students. Dorothy Abell, one of our classmates, was a medalist of the Conservatory of Music, and so we had an active and prominent part in the Commencement exercises of our first year. We returned as Sophomores thrilled to be asso- ciated with the Upperclassmen, and glad to initiate another class into the mysteries of opening the eleva- tor doors. This was the year of the Diamond Jubilee which filled our hearts with greater love for our Alma Mater. We established ourselves as the class of poets that year, and Eulalie and Helen have been the school's poets ever since. With Gladys Keller as President the year passed quickly with the strain of the Sophomore English course, biology, chemistry, Latin, French and Spanish, broken by our Baby Party, walks to the cemetery, the discovery of China, and numerous other exploits. We were glad, the following year, to welcome Leona Hayes, Helen Harper, and Helen Dunnigan into our Junior class. Georgiana Beuret was elected President, and we passed through the Argumenta- tion happily. The year was one of strenuous work, just sufficiently varied by the light episode to give artistic contrast. When Georgiana left us we chose Gladys Keller to fill her place. We spent the recrea- tions of the next few months making wistaria blos- soms for our Junior party which our guests pro- ififf n ' T 'N' lrplp ' 1 c f N
