Exams again. But this time understanding of what they are. An understanding that envelopes the whole drama as the curtain swings shut 'on the first act. Ac'r II-Sophomore: Curtain! The Women's College Campus again alive with figures running hither and thither-bright colored dresses-but this time no frightened faces- at least not among the Sophomores. There are happy faces that look to other happy faces. The thrill of being back with bright hopes for the new year. The play's the thing! To elect class officers-Alice Breme as president. Virginia Wilson as vice-president. lVIargaret James as secretary and Helen Dutter as treasurer. To look at the new players, the Freshmen, and to wonder at their stage- presence. To try to make the action more difficult by imposing strict Freshmen rules. Stunt Night as a take-off of a Country Fair. Dot Thiel up to her monkey business. lvlarion Ableman's freaks and her refreshment stand. And then there are horned-rimmed glasses for the Freshmen. Founders' Day with Alice Breme planting a tree-an added touch to the already beautiful set. Gown bearers for the big sisters and tea afterwards with Jane Nlatthis in charge. Again to the drama-the Christmas play, l'lVIimi Lights a Candlen, with Beulah Papperrnan and Niary Staving in rompers together with Gertrude Rosenberg stealing the show. To present a musicale-voices that are far from grand opera-Christmas carolling on the campus. Then to return for cocoa and crackers prepared by hflarguerite Heiss and Jean Wood-the cocoa made in a dishpan that sprank a leak. The thrill of being allowed to attend the Junior Prom-the gorgeousness of the ballroom scene. And again to the drama. The presentation of f'Their Husband in the Com- petitive Play contest, directed by Jane Yost. Sophomore Tea Dance put over by Alice Palmer, and then Nlay Day again with Anne Roberson, Virginia Wilson, and Hazel Darrell gracing the court. The Senior-Sophomore luncheon at Strath Haven Inn in Swarthmore-Debby Plummer as chairman-pink rose corsages. All too soon--Exams. W'arning curtain. The lantern parade. The Senior class hands down its colors4the responsibility of carrying them high. ACT III-j'uvzio1': Curtain! As players of the upper class they come on the scene-self- assurance. The action begins without delay. Class officers are re-elected. Tangible evidence of being grown up-of having little sisters and entertaining them at one of the college dramas- Three Cornered Nloonn-more evidence of being grown up-unlimited cuts, Stage movements are mapped out for the year. The Prom Committee is appointed-lvlarguerite Heiss, chairman. Favors- Anne Roberson. Invitations-Jean Wood and Debby Plummer. Grchestra--jane Yost. Then there is the Ring Committee, with Alice Pepper as chairman. Founders' Day and the handing down of class colors to the Freshmen. Inaugura- tion of a series of vocational guidance lectures under Jane Nlerritt. The Thanks- giving Banquet with different members of the class popping like Jack-in-the-boxes and telling what they are thankful for. And then the Prom-no action more colorful-no costume play more elaborate-nothing more exciting than to sail through the evening with johnny Brown and his Great iVhite Fleet. Twenty-Jix
