I suppose I could, I said, what sort of stories does he like? About himself. Because he's THAT sort of Bear. When we were very young, Freshmen, that is, we were Sonya, Suzy, Janice, Carol Cleaveland, Dorothy Johnson, Nancy Norris, Patricia Hill, Arlie Lundy, Susie Appleton, and Mary Colonna. Miss Morton was our adviser and we elected Arlie president. Suzy Cthe Mouse j and Nancy and Patty had come to the Upper School from the Middle, but the rest of us were brand new. Our Hrst dance Qwith B. M. IQ. And all the other firsts that come with being Freshmen and not so very young after all. Miss Doerr directed our Three Pills in a Bottle, a tref mendous success. We decorated for Thanksgiving. At Christ' mas, while Mouse stayed behind busy with the flu, the rest of us had to go home early to miss the epidemic, and missed the Mystery. We came back to a Twelfth Night party for every' one, and a Mystery which, though late, was still as lovely as ever. The only disappointment was the fact that we couldn't have our class pins, because of war shortages. Halfway up the stairs isn't really anywhere, but there we were, Sophomores. We said goodfbye to Patty, on her way back to England, and elected Arlie our president in her place. Miss Buzby was our adviser. We were Sonya, Suzy, Janice, Carol and Harpy, holdovers from the Freshman Class. New members were Molly Lou, Marty, Foggy, Joanie, and Dizzy Stuart' Alexander. We heard of Willy's death during the summer so the year began on a wistful note. We decorated for the Bishop's Feast, gave our play, Jacob Comes Home, which was received with compliments. There was the coal vacation in February, April saw our tremendously successful dance, The Jonquil Jump, and Mousie, Joan, Doofer, and Carol Cleaveland thrilled us all with large love affairs. Now we are six fteenb, or most of us are, and we are Jun' iors. Although we lost several of our number, including Molly, who became a Senior, we got a tall Barbara, who ended up Chapel Line. Lined up with her were Louie, Peg, Judy, Diane Rice, and Bess Lucas. They made live new members of a class that was already Suzy, Marty, Janice, Sonya, Foggy, and Joan. Bess left us after one semester, but she still seems a part of us. A little late Cas usualj, but with us nevertheless, Nannie arrived in February. We made lots of trips that year: Beach Haven in September and Juneg Mouse and Barbara to the Buck Hill Falls Conferenceg and Sonya, Louie, and Janice to proms. There Was the newspaper some of us worked on. We deco'

rated Cbeautifully, we were surej for Thanksgiving and Christmas, and presented our banners, designed by Doofer, at the Bishop's Feast. Ricey's letters from the Southwest we all remember. And who could forget the Hrst Lawrenceville dance? Or those Aptitude Tests most of us struggled through in June? Or the little visitor that Luther and Mosher had? And after graduation, when we had our rings and were really Seniors! Ah, crowning glory. Once upon a time, a very long time ago, about last Fri' day, . . . we tried to remember all the things that had happened to us since we were Seniors. There were three new members in September, for one thing. Carol, Nancy and Gladys came to join us. Sonya had been elected president of the Student Council in june, and Nannie was class president. Miss Evelyn Jenkins was our class adviser. At first there seemed to be lots of time. New responsibilities, of course: Chapel Line, three Seniors on Council QBarbara as rep' resentativejg the yearbook with Suzy as editorfinfchiefg our authors to be written about for English, serving lunchg and proctoring study halls. We were feeling a little like Pooh, trying to be a cloud way up high when all the time we felt like Bears of Very Little Brain. There were fascinating privileges: Saturf days in Philadelphia, Senior Coffee, extended bounds, lunch and movies downtown. But there were months and months ahead until june. We've been to Beach Haven again, Sonya disappeared into the Infirmary for so long that everyone became worried, and Nannie experimented disastrously in the Chem. lab., and had to be put away for a while. A PrincetonfHarvard football game had a week end and houseparty attached for Judy, who was misty for days. Fuddy came to see Mousie, and Nannie called Sam, neither of which occasion we have ever heard the end of. Joanie went off to a huge week end affair at Trinity, which we may say Cwithout fear of contradictionj was a success. Our loveflife was picking up! Especially after the October week end-i. e., Doofer and those lettersg Louie and those dances. We gave What Men Live By under Miss Bucher's direcf tion. The Service League was organized, and we were proud of Hogey and Peg who headed committees. We decorated the Chapel for the Mystery-the last we'll see as students, we thought wistfully. And Suzy and Marty drilled us in our songs for the dinners'-both the songs and dinner hitting the allftime high! That night before going home for Christmas we carolled through the streets of Burlington, and spent the rest of the late evening on Miss Newbold's hearth rug trying to warm ourselves up again! Ah, the luxury of it all! It was quite a marvelous vacation-Louie started getting special deliveries, and Carol found a dreamy date for the prom and also became an aunt! We came back to ind our Central American amiga, Gladys, had left us to be a bride! All happiness to you, Miss San Sal' vador! And now it's almost midfyears. fCont'in11erl on page 291 HMM W, , ' a- may -1 M- - mi ll' lf A .gig 4 f' 191 ll! 'J-Lultl ' f 7 17' x 5,7 p. gigs . S :.... may A Y .
