Class Diary 1943 July A few of our brave class started their long and tedious grind, and were welcomed by a social tea.

September Hillyer's Halls were awakened by our new shining faces, only to be deadened by a series of psychological exams . . .initiation week . . . no make-up . . bow ties . . . hair ribbons!!! Our spirits were revived by a dance and reception. Students on co-op jobs were missed. October Lower classmen defeated the mighty seniors in an exciting game of basketball. lnvited guests attended convocation which was followed by a tour of classrooms and exhibits of work done by the students in various de- partments. Highlights of October . . . Halloween party . . . fun for all . . . cider and doughnuts. November Being proud of our institution, Women's Conference League sponsored a Mother and Daughter tea to prove we were worthy of our parents' financial assistance. Co-ops out . . . we missed their familiar faces. Last but not least, we went all out for a brawl . . . Harvest Brawl . . . with buffet supper. December Happy spirit prevailed because of Christmas . . . vacation . . . etc., and the convocation in which Dr. Motten read his annual Dicken's Christmas Carol. 1 944 January Back to School--first of the year, with exams near. Excited about White Elephant Party . . . grab bag . . .girls box lunches raffled off. Annual get together of Epsilon Alpha Zeta. For a nominal fee, the Hillyer Hustlers hustled up to Northfield. Here many new romances started. Highlights of trip . . . bicycling . . . hay ride . . . arising at 5:30 in the morning . . . hiking and skiing ...and Oh, Yes! a broken sled. February Valentine Party was a timely occasion for the sweet-hearts of North- field. The Hillyer Hustlers elected officers. We celebrated Washington's Birth- day with a minu,ette. March Callboard has its first birthday. E.A.Z. enjoyed bowling party. April We spread Hillyer's name and fame by sending delegates to schools to invite them to dine and dance . . . splash in the pool . . . to view Hillyer fashions . . . in other words . . . Invitation Night. May Despite gas rationing, we managed a day at Batterson Park. Three brave girls braved the weather and went swimming. The bold girls challenged our weak boys to a game of baseball and basketball. Hotdogs were served. June June was a hot, but busy month with two week-end trips in view. The first was E.A.Z.'s trip to New York, which was both cultural and entertaining. The second was a Rainbow outing. Expecting a cool swim after our long trip from the bus, we were disappointed to find the pool unfilled. Despite this handi- cap we had a grand time playing baseball, lounging around, eating and dancing by the firelight at night, and not to forget the water snake. 50
