When we returned the next September it did not seem possible that we were really Seniors, but as we journeyed to town unchaperoned we began to realize the joys and responsibilities of Senior life. Gladys was chosen to steer our ship through this eventful year. Our Hallowe'en party, the first big social accomplishment of the year, and the usual bug- a-boo of the Senior Class, turned out to be an un- hoped-for success. November 25, our Feast Day, is the most memorable day of the year. We shall never forget the surprise dinner, so delightful, so good and bright and beautiful, tendered in our honor by the Revered Mother General, and the exceptionally lovely entertainment which the Juniors prepared for us. The brilliant picture of the festive refectoryg girls in their pretty evening gowns 5 tables and room appointed in our class color scheme mingled with flags, the songs, the toastsg the sweet wishes-all are forever safely stored in our hearts' treasury. The year has passed quickly with our work, un- usually heavy, and the necessary diversions of school life. One of the most impressive aspects of the year is that resulting from the war. Our every prayer and every activity, all our work, and especially our recreations have been mingled with the red, white, and blue. Our country and the welfare of our sol- diers have been deeply abiding interests with us day and night, and we did our best to help our Flag, while hoping to multiply in the future the little that we did. It has been, too, a year of brilliant literary achieve- ment. Always noted as the student class, we have added to our reputation by founding The Society of Letters and Fagots. In doing this we have tried to fill a long-felt need in Guerin Hall, and we hope that future classes will carry on the work with enthusiasm. The Annual Dance is over, our theses are written, Les Bois is almost at press, Commencement time is near, and soon the Class of 1918 will be history in Guerin Hall. But our four years here will never be history to us. They will be an ever-present memory, as will be, also, the ideals and aspirations of our school-days. Saint Mary- of-the-Woods, our Alma Mater! How proudly shall we say this in future years! And may we always be worthy that coveted title-Saint Mary-of-the-Woods Alumnae! i , -114 Sixty 7 fs D.- 1 ' -......i.'W . , ,.

Her good- will is all-pervading and her cheerful disposition, genial as a May-day. The influence she exerted in curing some cases of Freshman home-sickness will, we trust, not lose its power in the future, rather, may it increase and enable its fortunate possessor to smile life's stormiest weather into sunshine and roses. l -Q H' g . is I v ' , , 'X . sf LJ -I HELEN DOROTHY DUNNIGAN, B.
