MHPillili wm The Year SPRING at Swarthmore. Fluttery light dresses, feathery green trees. Gath- erings and music on the quad. Hot classrooms and a shameful neglect of studies. A couple strolling down a tree-shaded avenue. The twilight bell. Pre-exam panic. Spring at Swarthmore. Election of officers for next year. Endowment. Tennis matches, lacrosse games, track meets. More endowment. The new Halcyon. Spring at Swartlimore and its climax. Class day, the class will, the class prophecy. Commencement. Saying good-bye to the seniors and calling your- self a sentimental fool to be so silly about it. The Senior dance: festive, with an air of solemnity and the Senior play, Will Shakespeare. President Ayde- lotte conferring one Inmdred and eighteen degrees. Twenty-six Phi Beta Kappa ' s. Yale ' s Aiigell addressing the seniors and Wisconsin ' s Meiklejobn giving the Baccalaureate. A good class, an enterprising class, a splendid link for the Swarthmore chain, the passing of another generation. Alumni. Alumni having luncheons, and alumni having parades, and alumni having reiuiions. Alumni who have become famous and alumni who have come thousands of miles. Old alumni, new alumni living over college days, recapturing college friendships, seeing another class join the ranks of the graduates. Swarthmore deserted. Settling down to wait three months. Three hot desolate months. Parrish a sJiell, the library waiting. Clothier developing, forming, becoming something real. Autumn at Swarthmore. Freshman week and two hundred bewildered Freshmen who are eager and impatient and naive. Freshman week and place- ment exams and dances and teas and making friends. Autumn at Swarthmore and upperclassmen back. Greeting old friends and telling about your summer. Registration and looking over the Freshmen. Amazement at Clothier: It looks almost like it will happen! Autumn at Swarthmore. Rushing in earnest and pledging of Freshmen men. Settling down to routine. Autumn at Swarthmore. Ready for work and full of energy. Plunging into controversies: the coat rule, the smoking room. Sports: football practice, soccer games, hockey. The Penn game: excitement and sad defeat. Revision of the W. S. G. A. rules to a more intelligent, more practical system. Smoking in Worth a reality, ransacking the village stores for ash-trays. Pledging, and happy freshman girls with small vari-shaped pins. Plans for the coal confer- ence, an amazing undertaking. The Little Theater play, You and I, by Philip Barry, and the success of its acting and production. Trying out for sport managers, trying out for Halcyon. The eclipse of the sun at Niaufou and the success of the pictures taken by Dr. Marriot and his colleagues. Sigma Xi and Sigma Tau chosen. The com- pletion of the faculty houses: modern, roomy, attractive. The new constitu- tion of the M. S. G. A. and the hope that this time it will prove satisfactory. The petition for the Haverford game. The new idea that the football schedule should be planned with the particular college, its limitations and al)ilities, in mind. The new table-party rule: one a week till ten o ' clock. Its unpopularity and repeal. The coal conference. An epic in Swarthmore activity, proud of. Its national importance and widespread publicity, presiding and the four sessions. Visitors from other schools: Sometliiiig to be Norman Thomas ' Vassar. Harvard, [ Page 30 ;
