OmO mJIh h Sullins College, our Alma Mater. How our hearts fill with pride when we think of these words! We shall not soon forget our faithful advisers or the beautiful location. To help keep our days at Sullins alive within our memories, we have pre- pared this section. Few of us will forget the day we rounded the curve and saw the stately new library ready for our use. As we came up the drive and caught a glimpse of the old familiar buildings, we were indeed proud of our choice of colleges. During the passing months, we explored the campus and discovered for ourselves the beauties that surround us. Looking out from the front campus, we viewed the majestic Ilolston Mountains rising up before us; and at the back, we could see the hills in the distance. At Mrs. Martin’s tea last fall we were introduced to the faculty. Since then we have placed many of them on our list of dearest friends. It is through them that we have learned to be broadminded and tolerant. They are the ones who have directed our thinking, teaching us to form our opinions on the basis of sound reasoning. When we arrived on the campus last September, we selected our courses with the help of Dean Metts. Not all of us wished to study the same subjects. We had a choice between two types of programs which lead to a diploma. The first was a course in liberal arts, which corresponds to the first two years of university work. This year this literary” de- partment was the most popular department in the college. One hundred forty-five girls registered as working toward a general diploma. The other one hundred eightv-three girls enrolled m the second type of pro- gram. They wished to con- centrate on special subjects. Each of these students will be awarded a diploma or a certificate in secretarial studies, art, music, home economies, physical educa- tion, or speech. In the Academy there are seventy students pre- paring for college. With a diploma from Sullins they may enter any college or university without entrance examination. Yes, this is the setting in which we have spent some of the happiest times of our lives in study and in play. In the new class rooms, we have been more inspired than ever before. And with the helpful and patient guidance of our teachers and advisers, we go forth to take our places in the world.
