E The Young Student Bv Maisik Ashcan Chai ' t1 ' :k 1. — Ouitc a College Girl. LSI! ' ] ' INDElMI :i ' :l ' : was a laroe gW of IS wIki wlmU tn W ' ellesley College. She belonged to the class of 1921. She had a sai ' or suit to wear to classes and a Sunday dress with a tight skirt. She had spats ;ind gloves for town, Elsie had a trunk with some other things in it hut it came late. She had never traxcled before and did not have the correct idear about checking baggage. Elsie had not been at college many minutes before a senier ar- rayed in a flowing robe came to call. She had a pile of books under her arm. By the Wellesley College song book she said $1 please. Elsie said alright here it is rather scared and the senier made her exit. Xext she recee ' ed a isit fnm a girl who erged her to suscribe to the news. As she had merely to sine her name Elsie complyed. But in a short time a girl ])Ut in an appearence to beg her to do ditto for the magazine. Then Elsie said they know I am an easy mark I must be carefull. We will now leave Elsie to count what Inker she has left and learn something about W ellesley College. Chapter 2. — Bcgiiniiiig Bravely. ' ellesley College is the college beautiful!. It says so in the song and any one can tell from the shining lake and broad drives and stately trees all around. What a sumshious campus said Elsie I am glad I did not go to Smith or Radcliffe. On the first night of college President Pendleton delivered a talk to 1921. She wore a long black robe of elligent style and kjoked very regal. Elsie felt uplifted and glad to be at college. On the second night of college 1921 herd a talk on the books in the Librerrv. Elsie was glad to hear there were so many be- cause she had a passhun for reading. But a -odevill given by some former freshmen came on the third night the crowning event of the week. Elsie was elektrofied bv the beantifull singing dancing and clever wit displayed for 1921s benefitt. Soon three more classes arrived in Wellesley 1918 1919 and 1920. 1919 was superier to all the others she was 1921s sister class. 1918 used to flap about the campus in flowing black garments that f = mml .29]

m farther awed Elsie Init 1920 was more tamiliver and always trying to find out things. So I will end this chapter and tell ahout the war. Chapter 3. — Getting Money. The war was raging in Europe and every one ingaged in helping to win it hy getting money from 1921. A muskular look- ing girl came to call on Elsie and said it is war time you must join the red cross $1 please. Of course said Elsie who was patriotick here it is I hope it will hel]) win the war. Elsie helped to win the war in other ways. She steered clear from the tea room, She rose erly and shut windows and shined shoes and mended stockings. She ironed waring apparell to earn money for the students friendship war fund. She knitted socks for soldjers. She made sergical dressings in the 1921 sergical dress- ing house in the vill. Elsie was so patriotic she even enlisted which meant eating nothing hetween meals and drilling by merry Heming- way Hall. It must be confessed slie suffered bitter regrets ere long in this respeckt. Here I will end this chai ter on patriotism. Chapter 4. — Gay Parties. The parties at Vellesley College that year were gay but not costly. The first one was a recepshun in the barn every one was there in holiday regaylia. This is like the rush hour in the subway said Elsie as she was swirled through the madding crowd. Her junier interduced her tn hundreds of peaple and they wrote their names on her card so she would not forget them. The ne.xt party was also at the barn a dance given by the barn- swallows club. The president of it made a speech which Elsie did not hear but she clapped loudly. Her name was Hildegard and she was very beautifull. After that the guests strove to dance a strenuse undertaking. Elsie said I am glad I am large very grateful. Her head felt in a whirl and her shoes worn out when it was over. She staggered home in a daze but glad to be at college in spite of the evenings fray. Ch. pter 5. — More E.veitenient. After dinner one night Elsie heard a sterring song in the dis- tance. She ran to the window and looked out. Coming down the street was a -ast throng of singers lighted up like the forth of July. Her heart beat violentlv from excitement. annDi [301
