There was no swarm- ing and scrambling this year. We were poised, almost sedate. Vile didn't like it at first. We would get together in little groups and whisper, Mary and Jean have changed during the summer, not realizing that hdary and .lean were saying the same thing about us. Then we got used to it. Vile rather liked it. Vile found that we were ready to play counsellor to a class of Freshmen, and we began by giving a Hallowe'en party in their honor. It was quite a gorgeous afliair, for every- one came in costume, and prizes were given for the most outstanding attires. Then came the Thanksgiving banquet, and again we wracked our brain for something different. Frances lVIcGee, our president for the third consecutive year, hnally proposed the plan which we followed and composed our poem: juniors, jubilavzt and gay U 1zde1'.r1fa1zcli1zg the Freflwneh, N or alwayf, they would my, Inarleqzzate though we feel, Our bert we will clo, Raising our little .visterf So that they can he llzanleful loo. It was at the Junior Prom that we felt really happier than we had ever 'felt in our lives. Our oflicers, Betty Nlancliester, Elizabeth Hickman, and Nlarylee Jones led the grand march. Fran lVlcGee stood in line and beamed on everyone, looking every inch the perfect president in her white crepe gown with an orchid on her shoulder. The Gold Ball Room was more golden that night than it had ever been, and Willard AleXander's orchestra made heavenly music for us. History tends to repeat itself, so We Won the competitive play contest again. But that well known phenomenon was not the only reason. lvlarjorie Breucr was part of the reason, and Vera lX'lcCall, WVilson Walker, and Caroline Cobb, members of the splendid cast of Will 07 the Wisp were the rest of the reason. And again, because history likes repetitions, we gave our little sisters a banquet. It was formal, and we had two wings of the dining hall for our own. Afterwards we took them to see The Royal Family, a play presented by the Footlights Club. The spirit of doing things for others was upon us so we gave a tea for Nliss Kellyand presented her with a class ring because we felt we really wanted to do something for her since she had done so many splendid things for us. We turned our thought then to the Centenary celebration, and offered our services freely. Yhle considered ourselves very fortunate to be students at Delaware in 1934. Nlay Day was part of the Centennial this year. Fran McGee, in blue organdy and coral velvet ribbons was the Junior duchess, and Vera McCall and Helen Layton were her attendants. Suddenly, the Centenary celebration was over. Now what are we to do, we cried? And our president came to our rescue. ':Let's publish a W'omen's College Etiquette Book, she proposed. The suggestion met with our hearty approval. One more thing for us to do for Women's College-one more bit of work to bring honor to the class of 1935. Vile accepted it with enthusiasm. cxlviii
