our captain of the first semester, was elected president, and Dorothy Rodman, our sub-captain, vice-president. We made Hazel Hughes secretary, and Kathleen Spencer treasurer. Emily Carr had previously been chosen Freshman represen- tative to the Student Council. We were struggling along in athletics, too, doing our best to Win some cham- pionship or other for the class of 1937. And persistence always Wins-we Won the basketball championship, and were very proud of ourselves indeed. Then came the banquet our big sisters gave in our honor. They took us to see The Royal Familyf' and We loved it, and loved them for taking us. And at last the night came when We were to have our big social event ol the year-the Freshman Formal. Nlary Louise Griffin, as chairman, had taken the responsibility, and to her, for the most part, goes the credit for the success of the dance. The only drawback to a perfect evening was a blizzard, and We refused to take any blame for that. The favors were bracelets or anklets, according to personal choice, and bronze keys, that matched the covers of the programs. There was quite some controversy in the class as to whether the bracelets were anklets, or the anklets were bracelets. An agreement was reached, however, when those who Wanted bracelets took out the extra links and gave them. to the girls who Wanted anklets. All in all we had a glorious time-the best we'd had all year. Competitive-play time drew near, and a Freshman representative was needed for the Dramatic Board, We choose hdollie lVIcNulty, and made her director of our play as well. We didn't Win-but we had a good time anyway, and We enjoyed seeing Emily Carr and Marian Price em0te in our play. We admired, too, the ability of Katherine Rittenhouse as a character actress. And then came May Day and with it corsages for our big sisters. VVe sighed and tried to imagine the time when we would be big sisters getting corsages- 1937 does seem far, lar away. cxxii'
