SHE FINDS NEW FRIENDS AND NEW RESPONSIBILITIES Dear Diary: Now that some of the excitement of arrival has died down, I want to tell you about the fun of com- ing back to Sullins as a Senior. When the train pull- ed into the station here at Bristol, I was so excited I The Seniors greeted each other enthusiastically. didn ' t know what to do. All the Seniors just tumbled off the train and rushed around hugging the ones who were already here. The Juniors looked so lonesome that it made me feel wonderful to be a second-year girl. After we got ourselves and our paraphernalia to school, the confusion was worse than ever. Among the first of the old girls that 1 saw were Dotty Jackson and Denny. They came early so they could help make the new girls feel at home, and they were quite at home themselves. In the front hall there was so much confusion that you could scarcely hear your- self think. Amelia Martin, Mrs. Cuniff, and Mrs. Rob. pre- sided at the desks, giving out room numbers and information on how to reach the aforementioned rooms. Cat Sullins, Elsie Lou Robinson, Mary Clay Leiper, and Peggy Hudgens, more early ar- rivers , were busy escorting bewildered Juniors to their rooms. 1 was glad to see that Farky , who was here year before last and whom 1 met last year at Commencement, was really here. Wednesday night Senior Wing was turmoil as everyone rushed around seeing just who had come back and who hadn ' t. Somehow 1 kept expecting to come around a corner and bump into Heem or Bobby or Soapy . Though I missed them I found that their little sisters — Janet, Gabby , and Lib — have taken up residence in Junior Wing. Today at the Hut, 1 had several shocks when 1 thought I saw Jeanette Salzer, Tommy Norton, and other old girls, but it was their doubles in this year ' s Junior class. Jeanette turned out to be Toby Hines, and Tommy is Mary Little. The Juniors have been exceptionally quick in discovering the pleasures of the Hut as have our new Seniors. These new Seniors are indeed a welcome ad- dition to our class, as they all seem to be swell girls. Among these girls are Gwen Davies, Betty McAd- ams, Jo Wren, Patty McDowell, Rachel Fain, Helen Jo Mills, Jane Minton, and Margaret Ranson. To- night we ' ve been making friends with these Sullin- ites, as well as renewing old friendships. Tomorrow classes start, and I ' ll have to hear the breakfast bell, so goodnight now. Saturday, September 16. Dear Diary: Friday morning, when the 7 o ' clock bell rang, every Junior hopped out of bed and was ready to » « The Seniors met the new girls in the hall and took them to their rooms. Page 15
