TME • J H 3 3 ' MALCYOn The Year Act I (The stage is set with budding leaves, green new grass, warm sunshine, tops down on roadsters, girls sitting in windows of Parrish.) An exciting discussion of new Women ' s Student Government rules is in progress. The rules pass, the girls are free and college men gain an equal footing with outsiders. Alas, the privileges are but fleeting! (The curtain falls to indicate the passing of one short week, known as spring vaca- tion. As it rises, we see three portraits and a railing where once was the Pet, and furnishings are now over-stuffed in green and rust, with a home-like atmosphere.) People are going to supper whenever they wish. Green glass plates, then pink ones, appear, along with the famous strawberry short-cake or an orange . Crum takes on civilized airs with paths and shrubbery, although some long for the old days of the forest primeval. Exciting baseball games, lacrosse games, track meets, and tennis matches follow in quick succession. May Day, with even the water tower decorated in spring array of orange and black. Nymphs trip around the May poles despite bitter breezes and frozen toes. The men crown their king of May, with fitting ceremonies, and the fair sex follow suit with their queen. The famous, or infamous, raid takes place in Wharton, and Swarthmore once more reaches the front pages of the nation ' s newspapers. Tap night is held, with suspense at the breaking point. Seven new neophytes are dragged to their fate while the whole college looks on. The girls are serenaded m the annually customary fashion, with trucks and automobiles galore to carry the gay Romeos. Rehearsals, rehearsals, rehearsals, and the freshmen women crash through with a grand show. Mortar board elections are announced. Honors exams begin; we lesser students note the haunted looks on the faces of our brilliant brethren, and start studying in earnest. We cram and worry, but somehow senior comprehensives come and pass, regular finals do likewise, and soon it is all over for the year. Prexy ' s lawn suffers that prophecies, histories, and wills can be read. Graduates receive suitable gifts from colored porters whose identity is ill-concealed. Alumni return in hoards — even Dean Valentine is not above wearing a clown suit for the glory of the class of ' 21. The alumni dance is a big success, as is also the junior play, The Piper . Then comes Baccalaureate, and the Ivy Oration. An excellent Commencement is the first held in Clothier, with no room to spare. The senior dance is under way as the curtain falls on the happy scene. Act II (Three months later. The actors are tanned and radiant. The scene has an early autumn appearance, with occasional crisp days to send the summer on its way) . Crowds of new actors appear, soon to be distinguished by red dinks or berets, and large tell-tale signs. They take placement exams, make friendships, and wait expectantly. Upperclassmen are back, and things really begin. Men rush and are through with it; the women hold a W. S. G. A. reception, and drag their rushing on for weeks. Class
