Filled with a feeling of warmth and mellowed by greetings from familiar voices, no longer were we terrified as we basked on the sunny steps, exchanging summer reminiscences. We were confident that this was to be a wonderful year, and we took great delight in impressing the frosh with our importance. This was the year we mustered up enough courage to try out for the Follies, and even though we only appeared on the stage once, we felt somehow that we were an important part of the show. The rehearsals grew tiring and the gags became steadily worse. but when the crowd roared with laughter on the big night and we experienced for the first time the glamour of footlights and grease-paint, we felt I fully repaid.

We were so shy at first, but once we had braved the first tag , the evening sped by in a whirl of new faces and soon-forgotten names. Athletics drew us, too, although not wholly of our own will, when one frosty morning, under com- pulsion, we plodded the three weary miles of the harrier to bring U.C. a few points. There were many things to do as the year flew along, but we soon learned to spread our varied activities harmoniously over the meagre twenty-four hours daily allotted to us and settled down to the terrifying grind of exams.
