Haven Inn. How proud we all felt returning to college in mid-afternoon decked out in corsages. But to get back to rain, was there ever anything so pitifully brave as the little group of us who escorted the Seniors on Class Day evening in a lantern procession in the Wind and rain? It may be an honor to light the way of a Senior from Nfitchell Hall to Residence, but to balance a wobbly japanese lantern in one hand and an umbrella in the other, is to defy the laws of nature, and we feel justly proud of our accomplishment. To think that this year we were luniors, with a new Freshman class looking up to us with all the awe and respect Cwe hopelj that we once felt for our big sisters! But Juniors We Were, and we fast developed the dignity which went with our status. This year we had our Prom. lfVasn't it fun? lVe felt so proud being led by Dee Smythe in the Grand lVIarch, and then going down the receiving line- so dignified. WVe were not the 'fgiggly group then. VVe were grown up. Surely We shall never forget The Nlusic Goes Down and 'Round-Ho-Ho-Ho I How many times We danced to it, shouted to it-and then didn't have enough! Now to more serious things. We made our rings the first standard XVomen,s College rings, Ginny Boston as head of the Ring Committee Worked diligently in choosing designs, and emerged triumphant with a Wonderful selection. 'We chose a beautiful design, and We hope that succeeding classes will like it as much' as we do. Wie have high hopes for next year, and can only wish for the classes that are to follow us, that their college years may be as happy and as successful as ours. m Fifty-four
