Wilder (Mildred ' elen (McAfee We, the class of 1938, felt our rare privilege in sharing Miss Mc- Afee ' s first year at Wellesley. Now we welcome with pride our new class member, for we have found in her those qualities of charm and character which have enriched the life of the college in the short while it has claimed her. Miss McAfee is a keen student, both in the academic world and in the complex field of human relations. Her keen insight and tact have endeared her to those who have had the opportunity to know her as a leader and friend. The class of 1938 is proud to have shared with Miss McAfee her first year — we are proud to share a common experience as class-mates . In that mutual experience may we grow with Wellesley as it moves forward under the leadership of a member of ' 38. 40 [41] (fMadame QKiang KaUShek 1938 ' s latest and brightest addition to the class rolls is Madame Chiang Kai-Shek, whose name already stands high in the annals of the world. Since she left Wellesley College in 1917, as a graduate, Mei-ling, as she was known here, has been busy in China, taking an active part in the movement to unify China and to raise the moral and economic standards of that country. Mei-ling was born of an already famous and energetic family; a family which busied itself in the support of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the founder of the great Chinese Republic. Mei-ling was destined to be- come another influential member of that family to merge her fate with that of her native land. In 1913, Mei-ling entered Wellesley College, where she was to spend four years as an undergraduate. She was a vivid member of the college community .. .sometimes gay, sometimes sober. She was an inquisitive student, always seeking for the answer to some problem. When she graduated, it was as a Durant Scholar. Immediately after her graduation, Mei-ling returned to China and plunged into the task of solving some of China ' s many social problems. A unified China was her ideal and her aim, and in 1926 she met Gener- alissimo Chiang Kai-Shek, who was working for the same cause. Since then the two have worked side by side in a continual effort to modern- ize their country. Madame Chiang Kai-Shek has been an invaluable aid to her husband, and the two have furnished for China the leadership which it so needed. She has influenced the new China to an immeasur- able degree, and has well earned the reputation of one of the world ' s most powerful women. Now, at the apex of her career, Mei-ling Soong Chiang once again enters Wellesley, this time as an honorary member of the class of 1938. She now enjoys the privilege of membership in two classes. The latter honor has come to her as a result of achievement in the world com- munity, as the first came through achievement in the college com- munity. She accepted the opportunity of becoming a member of an- other Wellesley College class with typical charm and courtesy. She paused in the midst of the troubles which surround her in days and nights of warfare to send the following telegram to 1938.

Ziegler [111 Convict ' 38 a I HARGED with grand larceny by rhe College Board, convicted on all counts, sentenced to four years hard labor — and all for plucking a few apples from the tree of knowledge. A sobering prospect for a seventeen-year-old maid. The rain was slanting viciously oil the station roof when I arrived, and I was surprised to see how many other female delinquents were starting their sentences on the same day. The future looked vague and uncertain as I stood there with my jimmy bag in my hand. I was just about to slip into the waiting room for a cig when my intellectual pride was aroused by the words Ask Me sprawled across the blouse of a thin girl who from all appearances had been incarcer- ated for some time. A bit surprised at not finding the finishing touch of Another across her back, I was completely knocked down when she burst out with : What block are you assigned to? Take that black wagon. Report to your matron first — Her voice was drowned out, and I was lifted bodily by a rioting crowd headed for the row of cars driven by faithful-to- the-second admirers of Kaye Don. Such was the manner of our coming. Four hundred and fifty encelled on the same September morn! And now — with the date of the final trial looming large, with the grand jury already thumbing [1 through the evidence — I feel it only fair to give the world our story, to reveal the half-happy, half-sad existence which is so miserably misunderstood by that world-beyond-the-Waban . Our early days here were marked with the typical stamp of every other new bunch of convicts. That we professed to find our institution a bit less formidable than Alcatraz may be laid to the fact that we came to know it better. We appreci- ated the little touches to make us feel at home — red and blue instead of the usual black and white stripes to cover angel robes, a pretence of farce at Hazing Day court to make us feel less dejected at our lot. Although we often felt a close analo- 12] gy to hitting the old rock pile as we bucked the sixteen and one-half hours compulsory weekly duty, we found time to enjoy the consoling packages from friends on the outside, and to plan with meticulous care what we ' d do when we got out again. When we began slowly to organize our gang we discovered a stalwart group of leaders in our midst. By the time Christmas slipped up on us, you never would have known the old crowd, for we were by way of being well broken in. Methodically we trudged from cell to work-house, eyes blinking from night work, hair bound tightly in bits of steel and tied up in accord with custom. Often as we lock-stepped along, we would pause by the curb until the head matron — dignified but half-smiling — had reviewed us from Ariel, the Fish- bowl. In January an incident occurred which materially changed our gang-life. Again we were brought up for trial — this time with the rest of the second, third and fourth year women. For weeks we awoke terrified by mental pictures of hours to come in the Death Houses to which we had been assigned — Billings, 24 Founders, 100 Sage, the A.L.R. Now — hardened by long experience — we have learned to ap- proach with outward calm each half- semesterstone of the Last Mile of De- grad (u) — ation. When spring finally dropped over on our side of the bars, mutterings and dis- contented whisperings must have reached the ears of Those Who Rule, for they im- mediately organized a two-day picnic under the pleasant heading of Float Night and Tree Day to teach us what happens to little boys and girls who wander. Of course we had our share in presenting the classical tales — which only served to drive home the moral more surely. The floats of Ulysses assured us that the dangers overcame the plea- sures of straying from home and hearth, while the Orpheus and Euridice theme of the next day pressed home the fact that hell is hell and there is no way you can get away from it. The lesson must have struck home for by June we were donning civilian clothes again to try a few months parole. Remember the story of the ex-jail bird who couldn ' t be happy in the old home- stead until he ' d fixed himself up a genu- ine cell? Norah Hoult, n ' est-ce pas? Well, so were we in late September ' 35- Adoring families are all very well, but by fall we were ready enough to answer the warning note of sign in by 10:30 — or else ! Be- sides that, we knew the ropes. Serving a sentence no longer meant sneaking about in terror of the least shadow. We were pretty confident kids, and we ' d learned a lot that first year. With chins ajut we told the new crop of just-out-of-reform- [113 schoolers right where to get off. We sold them chairs, bikes, newspapers with a line of gaff that should have knocked them wise. Perhaps we may say that it was small wonder then that Hazing Day Court ended in bedlam. As a result of the youngsters rude fervor, however, we came to realize our growing maturity. With a certain spirit of condescending cooperation we allowed ourselves to be enjugged in Calumny Hall during the wmter months for the stir-ring perform- ances of Serge Koussevitsky and the Bos- ton Symphony, Lawrence Tibbett, Rug- giero Ricci and the pianist, Schnabel. Here also Robert Tristram Coffin, David McCord and William Rose Benet found arresting sympathy, while Kagawa jammed in a crowd of inhibited detenues. In fact we sat enthralled as he recounted, gestured, and diagrammed his philosophy and theories of economics wondering whether the day would ever dawn when our lock-step minds could escape the shackle of constant reining and gamble serenely in those fertile fields beyond our fence. Were we then that second year in cus- tody constantly occupied with outlets for mental energy? Indeed no! Under a Sorarchy headed by M. B. Taylor and K. Forsythe, we enjoyed the lighter things of quod, and participated with light hearts in the Swimming Pool Carnival and Dance. Under the relaxed gaze of official turnkeys, we rhythmized in a mock pool and unleashed our pent-in roars at the vaudeville acts which in- cluded an operetta by Ann Edwards ' 37 and a slap-Spang tap-dance. Back behind the padlock again, all agreed that life ' s drama might be set within a barricade. but there were moments when the rattle of handcuffs was quite pleasant. Winter Sports Carnival with its at- tendant influx of visiting skiers and skaters served to strengthen the impres- sion. By spring and the Quaffmore Tea Dance, the days of bitter railing against restrictions which kept us endlessly within four walls were temporarily at a stand-still. Restrained behavior and ade- quate records had given us more lenient privileges; we could actually sit and talk with our visitors without the conversa- tion-choking paling deemed necessary at other institutions, ex. Sing-Sing. And so our little penal colony took on a less formidable aspect on that February twenty-second. In fact we rejoiced in the civilization to which we were victims as we treaded a measure beneath columns decorated with symbolic red hatchets. Our partial emancipation coincided with an illustrious event in the world of criminal-educational affairs — the an- nouncement of the retirement of our pen president. To celebrate her prowess as a [114] modern exponent of the code of detention, our austere doors were thrown wide to the curious world. Guest Day could not tell them the inside story, but a few seemed to find the idea of incarceration a rather attractive one. Tree Day again, and we approved the theme of encouragement as portrayed in Ponce de Leon rather than thieat. The streak of infant in us thrilled to Float Night ' s Mother Goose pageant — perhaps proving to our watchful guardians that the Board had not judged wrongly to put us under discipline. That same night the election of Miss McAfee to the posi- tion of chief turnkey was announced. Ominous mutterings swept through the rows of cells. Would this new warden clamp down the bolts, restrain the new- born glee that had accompanied our ad- justment to necessary captivity? We de- plored a change in regime as would Num- ber 96503 at our brother school Sing- Sing were the able Lawes to resign his noteworthy post. So with a question in our minds, and the pinions struck from our wrists we decamped for another sum- mer on parole. Two years gone — two years to go. Bettered only by the senior women, we found our position to be one of dignity and example, responsibility and — in the early days of October — scarcely curable excitement. Having settled the newly- committed unfortunates in their bare- walled cells, and safely launched those who survived the June trials in required Comp and the rest of the 101s on their journey with the Good Book, we turned out en masse en blanche to applaud the ceremony of inauguration. Miss McAfee and President McCracken of our sister institution, Vassar, the board of trustees, and the band whose faculty it is to ad- minister our mental discipline — all marched between our rows in varicolored robes of state, smiled and bowed their hope that — like them — we would survive out penal confinement to wear a gold tas- sel of good deportment. Those of us lucky enough to crowd into the hall, saw the keys to our stronghold held aloft and expounded upon without the least desire to see them used for our immediate re- prieve. We found our secret fears about mismanagement laid by the heels, and we retired into isolation that night secure in the decision that Miss Pendleton would have cheered her successor as loudly as we did. With such an exalted start, even the November-December blues could not make us damn our state. With permisson to listen to the radio, to read the news- papers, to see friends from beyond the fence, we almost began to feel that our part in history was as significant — if less headline breaking — as the Landon- Roosevelt campaign. As demonstration of our feeling on the subject, and finger- shakmg warning to any who might over- [115] look the potential political power brew- ing in our correction caldron, we joined arms in a torch light parade and rally under the direction of Agora. Although our joint opinions corresponded not at all with those of the voting nation, we tried to drown our sorrows in shouting, weav- ing posters, and strutting about in cos- tume. I That was the time, too, when we let the drawbridge down to the American Student Union, and T. S. Eliot read us Murder in the Cathedral. Those two trends in our extra-rocksplitting life marked a startling relaxation in conservative rou- tine. Then we filed forth with that on- ward and upward look to see first Dr. Brested ' s movie on the History of Matt and later to hear J. G. MacDonald on Euro- pean Realignments. Do these recorded portents mean what they imply? In the fall of 1936, were the hard-headed, high-minded delinquents who passed off indictment with a shrug [116] of the eyebrows inexplicably bound to low-heeled, horn-rimmed stooging? Good of itself — but yes! Good by itself — indeed no! And what occupied our lighter spirits — nothing less than the first-of-its- kind, all-important In One Ear And Gone Tomorrow. A musical show, still- popular (with us, anyway) original modern songs, dancing, and appropriate penal plot to thread it along — it provided liberating outlet for our mass initiative. With Christmas over and our fifth siege of questioning by the academic governors still far enough in the future to allow for a little lenience in work bud- gets, we gathered in not-too-conspicuous groups to inhale a quiet butt and figure out where Life was taking us. Reluc- tantly we concluded our lengthy discus- sions with the decision that after two and one-half years incarceration we could not deplore serving our time. On the whole we knew more (if only about get- ting dates), thought more (even if it was about Dartmoor men), and generally weighed more than in 1934. If one slipped over less personable details, life could be put down as rating a capital L even in an institution. In March, Don Juan, edited by Mr. Holmes, occupied the extra hours of orchestra, Orchesis, and the theatre workshop. An excellent choice of ma- terial to keep idle fingers and toes out of mischief, Gluck ' s ballet also proved diverting entertainment to enthusiastic fellow coop-mates. Under our pose of superior calm, we approached the beginning of May with exceeding joy. May Day night we linked arms at the top of Green Hill to prove to those awaiting us on the chapel steps that we had learned our lock-step well, that our voices did not ring falsely when we sang in praise of our dungeon dark. Hardly had we finished unitedly march- ing along when a shriek of sirens rent the air, and the entire group paled in un- happy anticipation. A police wagon — yes — but, ushered out by regulation- dressed, third-year convicts came our elected leaders for the final year in stir and our honorary member, warden-in- chief McAfee. One would have thought that Al Capone himself had stopped in from Alcatraz, so great was the applause. May was indeed our month. Weeks of secret planning, of veiled discussions, of stealthy purchases not revealed to a soul (?) suddenly resulted in the blossoming forth of the jailbirds of ' 38 minus their daily shackles and gyves. At Junior Prom, at last, we proved that paroles had been used to advantage for the dates represented pens from here to Chi. Envious younger members of our subjugated group pressed close to the window to watch the high-point of our constrained careers as some dipped, some bounced amid Prom maids in Dutch cos- tumes, pillars sporting windmill arms, and a live-duck pond. Hardly a murmur of undercurrent marred the illusion of perfect freedom. Forgetting the fetters which for one night only could we toss on our desks and in our bookcases, we let smothered energy overflow until 2 A.M., when — too tired to protest we sub- mitted to lock and key, and the uncertain comforts of our straw pallets. Were not our duty at the academic rock-pile scheduled and required, we would all have abandoned notebooks and dancing. Prison or no, grass and trees, weather and we responded to spring by slipping the collar, breaking loose for one splurge of activity. Sing-Smg has its baseball team and we have Float Night glasses for Tower Green and Tree D, ay My very chains and I grew friends, [So much a long communion tends To make us what we are: — even I Regain ' d my freedom with a sigh. Byron and Tree Day. Gilbert and Sullivan floats, and dancing to the story of the Happy Prince ended gloriously our spree of emancipation. All too soon we felt the foot of constraint upon our shoulders, and we too k up the yoke again to prepare for the coming of our judges. The truth of these lines struck me with meanmgful force for the first time as — in our traditional garb of black mortar- board, gown without stripes, and im- prisoning collar — we walked in step to our places in the senior section of chapel. Nothing in the old lockup had changed. There were still the rows on rows of cells in fourteen reform dorms; the restrictions [117 which coerced our freedom put us under lock and key at ten. Nor could we over- look the eight months hard labor ahead. We had foreseen all this the day of indict- ment. We had proudly received sentences with nonchalant restraint. Then, that first experience of detention three years ago had wound us up and whirled us in and out of rules and penalties that could never be learned. Today those barricading forces seemed to have receded. The reins which should have brought on rebellion and riot were quite intangible and to be endured philosophically. Instead of re- pressed joy at the approaching end of durance vile, we turned reluctantly to face the lasts. Last chance at societies, last concert series, last vespers. In the fall, too, the humming suaveness who was the Le- GENDA photographer snapped our last rogue ' s gallery records, while we as- sumed as mature and winning a guise as possible. To prove this maturity and the gift of understanding that had come in the years, we listened with head bent and hand to forehead to Alfred North Whitehead ' s three lectures. With a kind of hopeless tenacity we flocked to step- singing until the last freezing evening. It was our superior knowledge which guided us to the Wagnerian Festival Singers, to Misha Levitzki, pianist, and to the Rethberg-Pinza concert. Aldous Huxley, too, found intelligent response in our knitted brows. The next four lasts marked mile- stones along our path which we unwill- ingly let slip by. Startlingly enough, the lake deigned to freeze at the same time that Observatory Hill lay snowbound. Skaters from a neighboring club were allowed within the gates to show that gliding about with now and then a bump- off may be aesthetically admired as well as criminally characteristic. Those on skis the next day, besides showing their cunning in The Little Red Riding Should skit, demonstrated their powers of quick getaway. The event awaited with bated breath in January was Faculty-In-Formals. Would they with grand gesture and well turned phrase force upon us a moral tale or would they merely tease our fancy with a light farce — something to increase good-will, make us laugh lightly and forget the power of the ruling hand? But neither! With rare acumen they threw themselves into the problems of our inner lives. Lover Proctor, with shopkeeper Eliott and elderly shopper Wilson tortured along the intricacies of a toll-call proposal until the Snow-Hyatt- Dodson family and their manager Holmes were ready for the rocky road to Trenton. Following the Tennis-Bali mystery thrill- er, we mocked the criminal abilities of Green, Jones, and Haroutunian as they succeeded in thoroughly alarming Mr. and Mrs. Jenks-McAfee. Never had Calumny Hall resounded to such whistles and stamping. Pocket-picking ceased, and knitting needles dropped forgotten before the onslaught of the drayma. So — purged of our vicious tendencies for a night at least — we felt a surge of kindred emotion for our guardians. Perhaps they too knew what it was to desire rain-in- the-face when one was confined to words-in-books; maybe they knew the tendencies to raving when one stays in solitary stir over a term paper. Of course, as the world well knows, [118] fashion flairs rarely penetrate the palings of our yard, but the social climax of our four years brought forth swirling femin- inity as would never have been expected from the old striding, sweater-and- skirted gang. A snooping sob-sister might have noticed a generous smatter- ing of O-and-O ' s. And fancy, — we danced ' til two. This innovation was profoundly appreciated, and all prom- trotters who could rouse to the tinkle of the rising bell, showed grateful, if dazed, countenances in the work rooms Saturday morning. The general relaxation of rules had throughout the year been slyly increased to try our behavior. Were we fit to join society again? Could we rejoin the family group without reverting to disgraceful character traits? Would we stretch a bony arm to the opposite rim of the table for a recalcitrant butter plate? Had we learned to hide subtley our forty winks behind supporting wrists, or did we still let our heads and mouths droop in disconcerting idiocy? These and other botherations, THEY sought timidly to investigate by allowing us to exist in as natural an en- vironment as possible. We were evolving — as surely as the aimless amoeba to the ostentatious oyster — and so were the groups into which we were fittingly or- ganized. In accord with the best of mod- ern detention codes, the second winter of our lockup had seen our little hands and minds producing a Princess Ida fit for a D ' Oyly Carte. Now — ever on to bigger and better fields — we startled the musical and lesser worlds with Alceste. When the Metropolitan Opera Company decides to vary its schedule with The Sunken Bell — that ' s mildly interesting; when a Massa- chusetts Female Coop broadcasts Gluck — that ' s news. It must have put thankful- ness into the hearts of the Committee on Keeping Them Occupied as we chirped busily over gay tunics, discussed the pos- sibilities of tactfully suggesting that the brother-limboers imported from across the Charles walk a bit less duck-like, and placidly milled in crowds attempting to improve upon our Framingham French. Anyway, our friends liked it! And, praise the prices of construction, it was the night of opera that most of us noticed that a large chunk of earth had been actually ejected from the tennis courts-that-were for the recreation building-ro-come. But then came spring! And after that in quick pursuit would follow the Final Test. With feverish realization came dif- ficult resolutions, for spring meant more lasts. May Day is past, dear reader, and we have hooped it up for once and always. Last step-singing has seen us wandering mournfully under the arches of the fortress once so grim. When in Float Night ' s Robin Hood pageant, we watched potential malefactors siding with the cause of honesty, we felt an inner elow to realize that tlieie was a [119] niche awaiting out waywatd selves somewhere in the forests of Sherwood. To our guests on Tree Day we showed a sinewy grace in the dances themed on the death of Osirus, god of the Sun and Life. And so spring has lengthened to today. Our trial tomorrow and then the Last Mile! It cannot be — and yet it is (trite, of course, and yet inevitably true). If one may indulge in a single tear of retro- spect, may it be only to reiterate with fervor that Tall books do not a prison make, nor Harvard men a cage!

We are rather surprised to find ourselves Juniors; those first two years seem very short and we fondly remember the varying emotions of our Freshman days — the greatness of Wellesley, when we met whom and how, introduction to traditions, and our awe of upperclassmen. Suddenly, we are upperclassmen, and possibly even awe-inspiring to others. We are Vil Juniors — not all of us, of course, although we do feel very responsible about the Freshmen. 1939 is a big sister. It is for us to explain rules and pass on traditions as they were passed on to us. Soon we shall be Seniors. The major officers are in our class. Al- ready it is time to order caps and gowns, and we are called upon to think about Commencement speakers. We ask each other about plans for tackling the brutal world after college. But, Graduation is not here yet and some very considerable hurdles are before us. The ultimate crisis, the General, is, however, still remote enough to let us be Jolly Juniors. At last, too, we have learned how to study and, al- though the flowers that bloom in the spring are more welcome than some other things, examinations are not quite the mysterious horrors they once were. Nevertheless, there do persist those reminders of glim reality, such as the first glance at grades, or a careful perusal of the Dean ' s letter concerning Juniors on pro — O woe ! But, in spite of our trials, we continue to discover reasons for enjoying life. Junior Show shines out as one of the greatest experiences of our college career — intense rehearsals, excitement, and the feeling of working as a Class. We learned what efficiency, cooperation, and good will can accomplish, and at the same time discovered our individual and collective possibilities. When we were Sophomores we had a tea-dance, but only Juniors can have a Junior Prom. And it isn ' t every year that the College works on and produces an opera; it means much to be able to help with such a magnificent undertaking as Alceste. At last, we are established. Some of the first excitement is gone; more serious and lasting enthusiasms remain. We love this Wellesley, its ideals and its people. 1939 is one class in a long procession. May we never forget the motto of the College ; Not to be ministered unto, but to minister. A new perspective upon our own lives in relation to the world has become ours because We are Wellesley. 134] 1939 Officers Christine H. Hunter . Aileen M. Davidson . Adrienne Thorne . Martha A.

At last we have traditions to call our very own ! We start- ed right in on Hazing Day to take advantage of our new prestige. And it was small wonder that the recalcitrant Freshman were more enter- tained than hazed at Freshman Court, when the whole Roosevelt clan and nine Supreme Court justices walked into Billings! We gave the traditional gavel to the Freshman president, sang early morning Christmas carols to the Seniors and, best of all, held our first big social affair, the Sophomore Tea Dance. It was fun becoming further ac- quainted with our new dean, and also mothering our little sisters. (Not that they needed it !) In all of our activities one thing becomes in- creasingly apparent — this year is just as full of exciting discoveries for us, as was our supposedly unique Freshman year. The external part of college life is no longer new, but other deeper aspects are. It is a new satisfaction just to feel that we belong to Wellesley, after having al- lowed our roots to take hold for a year. Sophomore year, however, means more to nineteen-forty than an increased class spirit and more traditions. It marks the first visible broadening of our college horizon. No longer are we working into college, we are definitely in. With increased self-assurance we realize more fully the shape of our future. And still, generals and graduation are far enough away not to threaten our immediate peace of mind. In this respect sophomore year seems to us ideal. Our real achievement, however, does not lie in the advanced maturity and the greater dignity that a second year in college inevi- tably brings. It is, rather, the fact that we have grown up and still kept the fresh outlook on college with which we first greeted it. In spite of the usual dark predictions about sophomore year, we are having as much fun as ever. We could not leave all of our original pep and en- thusiasm behind! Yes, nineteen-forty has a spirit peculiarly its own, — long may we keep it. [144] 1940 Ojficers Marjorie E. Noppel Myra Ann Graf Margaret H. Gilkey Carol E. Wysor Betty Jane Wright Patricia L.

Making our entrance as a rather chaotic and bewildered group of individuals, we were greeted by many guiding influences, chief among whom were our Village Juniors. To them we owe no uncertain debt of gratitude. They not only comforted our more homesick members, but gave us our first example of the spirit of help- fulness and cooperation which we now realize is a fundamental Welles- ley characteristic. The Ask-Me ' s too bravely overlooked our complete ignorance, and helped us to distinguish between Green and Founders, and pointed out to us our numerous destinations — on that first hectic day of our arrival. Since then we have survived the many trials imposed annuallv upon the unsuspecting Freshman. Hazing Day is a thing of the past; our first source themes are well behind us; and we have learned, we hope, how to do that mysterious thing known as budgeting our time. Our social life has been wide in scope. We have had the opportunity of meeting Miss McAfee and of getting to know a little better one whom we all admire and respect. Finally, we take credit for being the only Freshman class ever to require the attention of two class deans. Most of us arrived at Wellesley with a varied assortment of ideas of what we expected college to be like and of what we expected to get out of it. By now we see that our first year of college is only an intro- duction to the broader knowledge and deeper understanding which we hope to acquire in our coming three years. The words of those who spoke to us at the beginning of the year gave us a clear picture of the purposes and aims of Wellesley. We know what is expected of us, and we are doing our best to accomplish it. We know now that college means more than the learning of facts; rather it has taught us the im- portance of self-adjustment and the value of the broader views to be acquired from our many co-students who hail from far and wide. As we look back on this year we see a kaleidoscopic series of memories: step singing, our first chapel, the sudden shock of unex- pected roll calls, the faculty informals, a true highlight, our first suc- cessful (or unsuccessful) blind date, mid-years, and last but not least, our beloved bikes. All these things and many more we remember as we step forth from our Comp. and Hygiene courses into Bible and Speech. We no longer feel like those green Freshmen.

Every freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior is a part of C.G. , and many take an active part in this All-College organization. The number of officers, committee members, etc. totals well over one hundred. C.G. touches nearly all phases of College directly, and through its Senate, controls all other organizations indirectly. Wellesley is a community of some 1700 individuals. We live as in any community in these United States. Our Senate makes whatever rules and suggestions it finds ad- visable for the government of and well-balanced living in this community. The court system enforces the rules; and the presidents of houses, the village juniors, and com- mittee members help in the holding of the whole system together. The legislative body of Wellesley is the Senate, presided over by the President of College Government and having both student and faculty members. The former mem- bers are elected by the college, or are on Senate ex officio. The faculty members are chosen by the Faculty Committee on Appointments. The court system provides the judicial side of College Government. The Chief Justice conducts both the Superior Court, composed of faculty and students and dealing with major offenses, and the village junior courts, handling minor freshman misdemeanors. The district courts, which consider the minor infringements of upper classmen, are made up of house presidents and presided over by the Chairman of House Presidents ' Council, or by the Chief Justice. Within the dormitories, order and unity are preserved by the House Presidents, Village Juniors, and Freshmen Chairmen, working with the Heads of Houses. The scheduling of all social and extra-academic events, such as plays and dances, is handled by the Senior Vice-President of College Government and the Stu- dent Entertainment Committee. C. G. is a well-organized, smoothly running sys- tem, incorporating the whole College. Each year the officers of College Government have their ears to the ground, ready to sense the need of additions or corrections in the system as it stands. Suggestions are made to Senate for new rules, privileges, organizations, etc. and Senate uses its repre- sentative judgment in incorporating them in the system of College Government. This year Senate voted to make Forum an All-College Organization, and its president an All-College officer, because it was felt that Forum had reached a point where it included a sufficient number of students to be called All-College, ' ' and because Senate felt a real need for such an organization in the active, every-day functioning of the College. ' 38 has lived in the Wellesley community for four years. We have been a part of College Government, and our experiences during these four years extend beyond the intellectual and academic to that experience gained through active participation in a governing system.

HiLE at no time claiming a monopoly upon the spiritual development of the college community during the past year. Christian Association has considered it its privilege to be sensitive to this phase of the campus life, and to attempt to promote its development by worship, thoughtful discussion, and constructive social activity. The program formulated for the year has been carried on by the Board, the five com- mittees listed above, the Freshman Council, and House Representatives. The opportunities to enrich spiritual life by worship included vesper serivces, a quiet hour for prayer each week during Lent, and Religious Forum. Of the vesper ser- vices, the Candlelight service in the fall conducted by Miss Seal Thompson was im- pressively inspiring in its simplicity and dissemination of fellowship. During Relig- ious Forum, Professor Wilhelm Pauck of Chicago Theological Seminary challenged a considerable group of the community to strenuous thought upon the problems con- fronting theologians and the entire world in Time of Transition. In addition to the thoughtful discussions provoked by Professor Pauck, a series of Thursday afternoon teas offered opportunities for discussing subjects treated by guest speakers. The fall teas were devoted to a study of contemporary religious denomina- tions, while the winter ones presented Christian Association ideals and activities at Smith, Brown, and Yale. The spring teas dealt with the particular problems facing Christians. The Conference Committee arranged for many ellesley representatives to share in the New England conferences at O-At-Ka and Northheld, and a National Assembly at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. The constructive social activity of the year included the Christmas Bazaar and the dressing of the Christmas dolls. In addition to this activity, the Social Service Com- mittee placed workers in Boston and its suburbs as hospital librarians, readers to the blind, welfare workers, play directors among children, etc. The spring disclosed many aspirant social workers among the freshmen, and the Chairman of the Freshman Council formulated a varied program for them in Natick working with children in schools, Sunday schools, and clubs, and with elderly ladies. They served, also, as a much needed supplement in the entertainment of the children in the Wellesley Hills Convalescent Home. An additional aspect of social activity by which the Association attempted to be- gin to meet a need of the campus was the work directed by the Committee for the Employees. It was desired that students, employees, and administration join in a pro- ject progressively more in the hands of the employees themselves. This project aimed at the creation of a group feeling among the employees with group activity and relax- ation for them on the campus. With this in mind, the Committee investigated and assisted in the renovation of the Lake House living room, started a Glee Club, a danc- ing class, and a series of hygiene lectures by Dr. DeKruif. It likewise arranged a pro- gram including a movie followed by refreshments, an organ recital, parties offering an evening of bridge, whist, games, etc., and a smoker for the men. The Association has thus envisioned its purpose in 1937-38 and has thus attempted its fulfillment. [164] 0mstian c ssociation Gretchen Heald ' 38 Hilda Swett ' 38 Dorothy C. Voss ' 39 Louise M.

Sha 938 akes ts Curtain R. .iNG down the curtain ! 1938 has given its last performance in Wellesley. No more will Alumnae Hall echo with our dulcet tones. 1938 has worn its last Wellesley grease paint, 1938 will parade Alum- nae boards no more. Our cue is to exit. And we will with a smile, a tear, and a memory of four hectic, but happy years. So now that the curtain has fallen on our last act, do not begrudge us a curtain call for our theatrical great. They will proceed across the stage in the order of their appearance on the Wellesley stage. First we present Phyllis Sebree, Margaret Miller, Elizabeth Flanders, Mary Fletcher, Marjorie Rosenblatt, Margaret Hull, Rosalie Haynes, Margaret Conlon, and Virginia Spangler. These appeared in our freshman skit which has probably been long forgotten by all ex- cept those who were exhilarated at their trembling worst in this per- formance. Nevertheless our first introduction to the boards and the lights but stimulated us to further effort in the new world. [168] Next, in their first long trousers, come Margaret Miller, Elizabeth Flanders, and Virginia Spangler who performed in the 1934 Fall Formals in The Affairs of A mtol. Also Fall Formal attractions of that same year were: Marion Leighton, Frances Nearing, Jean Seybolt, Elizabeth Turner, Louise Ebert, and Francelia Bennett in Little Man in which Katherine Campbell played the title role. Then, next in line we find Joyce Knoedler, Margaret Conlon, and Virginia Spangler who carried off the male honors in the June play, St. John Ervine ' s Mary Mary Quite Contrary. And thus ends our freshman group. The sophomore procession leads ofF with Margaret Miller, Polly Gunn, and Virginia Spangler who went fairy-tale-ish in The Silver Hilt at Barn Reception. They are followed by Margaret Conlon and Mary Ann Hall in A Bzrd in Hand; Nancy Bedell, Naomi Friedenburg, Bernice Kraus in Kiders to the Sea, and Elizabeth Flanders, Grace Mande- ville, Hildegarde Lewis, and Virginia Spangler in The Faraivay Princess, all of which were included in the 1935 Fall Informals program. Next there appeared Blanche Haring and Harriett Harrison who were featured in Ibsen ' s A Doll ' s House, Fall Formals 1935- Blanche has re- turned to Broadway to take this Wellesley curtain call. Virginia Spangler, who was our lone contribution to Spring Formals, Let Us Be Susan Barrett as Virginia in Finished [169] ' Learned Ladies — Moliere Gay, limps forward as Mrs. Boucicault. Then Phyllis Sebree, Polly Gunn, and Virginia Spangler strut past as the dapper gentlemen who fascinated Moliere ' s Learned Ladies in the June Play. A fantastic pair are next in line, Joyce Knoedler and Putzie Hin- richs of 1936 ' s Barn Reception, Pierrot Meets Himself, directed by Vir- ginia Spangler. They are followed by the Greeks, Jeanne Washburn, Jacqueline Wolf and Gretchen Franz in Helena s Husband; Margaret Miller in Barrie ' s A Half Hour; and Joyce Knoedler in A Happy Journey . These were performances of Fall Informals. 1937 Spring Formals ' assemblage of The Late Christopher Bean next offers as the shrew, Vir- ginia Spangler, and Leta Leigh as the unforgettable Abbie. Our thespians now take their bow under the banner of 1938. Our June Play with Grace Mandeville and Elizabeth Flanders in grey wigs and wrinkled brows prove that You Never Can Tell the age of a Barnswal- low. Margaret Miller, Elizabeth Flanders and Grace Mandeville next appear in Barn Reception ' s Perfect Plot. For the Fall Formals of 1937 we are represented by our two able directors, Elizabeth Flanders and Virginia Spangler who take their bow behind the scenes. Now at the end of the line in the Fall Formals group we find Grace Mandeville, [170] Jacqueline Wolf, Katherine Campbell, and with them, 1938 ' s acting career is Finished. However, do not forget to save quantities of your applause for the members of the class of 1938 who have served so faithfully as mem- bers and chairmen of the production committees. Their work is now completed, they pounded, painted, and sewed for the Spring Opera, Gluck ' s Alceste. We call them forth to take their bows; Chairmen of Costumes, Esther Howard and Catherine Hascall; of Lighting, Mar- garet Platner; of properties, Priscilla Barlow; of Publicity, Natalie Gordon; of Service, Dorothy Rich; of Make-up, Narcissa Reeder; and standing behind them all their loyal committee members. Their work behind the scenes has made possible 1938 ' s curtain calls, 1938 ' s four years ' appearances behind the footlights. And so ring down the curtain of 1938 ' s dramatic achievements. We may have produced no new star for Broadway ' s firmament; we may have given birth to no new production angles. But we have de- rived through our dramatic experiences at Wellesley a truer apprecia- tion of theatrical problems and the trouping spirit which can only be acquired behind the footlights.

Swaffield ' 38 T, HE Wellesley College Choir, in the college year 1937-38, reached un- equalled heights in membership with a total of 225 members in the fall. This musical group serves primarily in the true aspect of a choir: each member singing in at least two morning chapels a week and singing on alternate Sunday mornings. Choir has also the greater share in four Sunday evening vesper services, the only times in which the entire choir participates. The first vespers come in November, to be followed by Christmas vespers and the much enjoyed carolling after the service, Easter vespers, and Baccalaureate vespers. This year the choir had the pleasure of singing Easter vespers in a joint program with the Amherst College Glee Club. In four years we of 1938 have thoroughly enjoyed many concerts and trips when the Choir functioned in the capacity of a glee club. In 1935 a small group of our loyal Freshmen had the fun of singing in the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta Princess Ida. In both 1935 and 1936 Choir sang with the Harvard Glee Club in the regular Wellesley Concert series in Alumnae Hall. In 1936 we sang with the Princeton Glee Club in the Waldorf-Astoria ballroom in New York. During 1937 the greater part of Choir ' s efforts were spent in perfecting Bach ' s great work the Magnificat, which we gave with Princeton in the Princeton Chapel in March and with Harvard in the Wellesley Chapel in April. In 1938 Choir shared in a most worthwhile undertaking in the field [172] - lJl)ellesley College 0ioir of grand opera. With the invaluable services of Orchestra and the splendid work of production and management by Barnswallows, the three organizations cooperated to produce Gluck ' s opera Alceste in March in Alumnae Hall. The men ' s chorus work was done by the Leverett House Glee Club of Harvard. During the four years there have been other interesting concerts with glee clubs of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Exeter Academy, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and Harvard. It is with profound regret that we of 1938 give up our places in Choir. It is a thrilling experience to have had four years of singing together the music of the masters in the ageless inheritance of our past. Mary Bennett ' 39 Freda M.

The increased ability of the Orchestra has made it possible to participate in productions with other organ- izations on the campus, such as Princess Ida, Don Juan, and this year, Alceste. On December 1, in the Chapel, the Orchestra presented its annual fall concert. The program included compositions by Gluck, and Beethoven, the Fifth Brandenburg Concerto, and a harpsichord concerto by Bach, as well as the first performance in this region of the Funeral Music written on the occasion of the death of King George V by Hindemith. In this conert, we were fortunate to be assisted by several distinguished soloists, and, as guest conductor, G. Wallace Woodworth, leader of the Harvard Glee Club. As its principal project of the year, the Orchestra cooperated with the Choir and Barnswallows to produce Gluck ' s opera, Alceste. This was the first American per- formance of Alceste, as well as the first time that Wellesley ever attempted an opera. The participation of the three organizations resulted in a very successful production. In the last four years the Orchestra has shown steady improvement in ability, technique, and interpretation. That it is becoming increasingly important as a campus organization is evident in the keen interest of the student body, the faculty, and the Alumnae, in all its activities.

Popular legends and many ballads praise the generosity, skill, and jollity of this yeoman, who, it is said, resided in Notting- hamshire, in the forest of Sherwood. Sherwood itself suggests the very enchantment and beauty which is so deeply entrenched in Float Night tradition. We see the brilliant red of Will Scarlet, the somber black of Friar Tuck, the beauty of Maid Marian, and the stalwart character of Little John. Each scene glides in, for a moment displays its cheerful or blustering design, then quickly slips past, leaving be- hind the still deep night or perhaps a sprightly tune — for let ' s not forget the gay Blue Boar.

In the beginning, the world was a conflict of chaotic natural elements; the gods were mortal human gods, their functions the concrete operations of Nature. Osiris, the god of light, is hunting gazelles. He meets his brother Seth, the god of dark and evil, and in the resulting battle between Osiris and Seth and his confederates, Osiris is slain. Isis, the sister and wife of Osiris, and goddess of fertility, seeks out the body of her husband and buries it. Funeral rites are performed by Anubis as the mourners wail over his body. Then the body of the god is conducted by Anubis and the four sons of Osiris to the underworld. Nephthys, the goddess of the underworld, welcomes Osiris and gives him a place of honor among the souls. Now the long journey of Isis begins, during which she wanders from town to town with her young son Horus, disguised as a nurse and practising magic. She is ex- pelled by the townspeople and forced to wander from city to city. When Horus, the god of day, is grown to manhood, he leaves his mother, and sets out with a company of smiths to avenge his father. In the battle with Seth, Horus, the Saviour, is trium- phant. In a magnificent conclusion, Osiris rises from the underworld, unifies the towns- people, and reconciles the warring gods. Charlotte Paul ' 38 . Chairman Mary Louise Glines ' 39.

Delahanty ' 39 Head of Freshmen Forum this year has labored with a single aim : to provide for the college an organization which is in- herently objective, taking no sides, but offering many opportunities for discussions and lectures on problems in public affairs. The most ambitious project on the program was the monthly dinner current-events discus- sions. The speakers included such men as Thomas Reed Powell of Harvard, and E. F. M. Durbin of the Lon- don School of Economics. The subjects were equally varied. The Sino-Japanese situation and Anglo-American Relations are typical. These discussions were accompanied by informal discussions in the houses, which in the second semester were unified into bi-weekly discussion teas to consider problems affecting the students, such as the Japanese silk boycott and advantages of a liberal rather than a technical education. Nor were peace activities neglected. Outstanding were the Armistice Day Address by Professor Seal Thompson and the lecture on Roads to Peace, by the English novelist, Aldous Huxley. In the second semester, an all-college peace committee was organized. Forum has taken part in inter-collegiate activities, such as the Model League and the Model Senate. The work of the American Student Union Chapter, whose President is a member of the Board, has been important. Support has been accorded the League of Women Voters, who have assisted in the organization of field trips to the Boston Courts and the Legislature. Forum was fortunate in being able, with the aid of Per- sonnel Bureau, to hear Miss Aryness Joy, a successful woman employee in Civil Service, who spoke on its opportunities for women. As a result of these activities Forum has become an all-college organization, whose President, beginning with the year 1938-39 will be a major officer. The organization has been embodies in a Constitution, ap- proved by the students. The support of the college has been gratifying, because it has proved that Wellesley students, alive to events shaping our world, are eager to acquire a deeper understanding of them by every means which the college offers.

[203] ATHLETIC S ellesley (Athletic (Association T -L HE Athletic Association has been very active in our time, and the Class of 1938 sincerely hopes that her skill and enthusiasm have been instrumental in con- tributing to A. A. ' s success. We are modestly proud of our achievements. The hockey team — including such stars as Dora, Morgan, Carol Strater, Ganoe, Marjorie Taylor, Chambie, Winnie Pooh and Gweny — has had a grand record, and this Fall contributed to Wellesley ' s victory over the Boston Hockey Club. Our basketball demons — Kineke, Walton, Breenie, Betty Holly, Beppy, Sammy, Nickie, and Gweny have always held their own and hope to take the Boston Antiques in the Exhibition game this winter. Lake Waban has been a fascinating spot for our outstanding crewites such as: Nickie, Breenie, Turner, Beecher, Fall, Eva Wallen, Betsy, Morgan, Nat, and Peg Miller, cul- minating in ' 38 ' s victory at Float Night last Spring. Rae Gilman, Bea Weaver, and Mary Oellgaard arch as well as William Tell, and it is due to them that Wellesley has so often placed high in the Archery Telegraphic Meets. Dibby and Patty plan to chal- lenge Bobbie Jones. Fran Nearing, Peg Miller, and Joyce Knoedler excel in riding, and Kitty Hascall, Dot Gardner, Helen Prentice, and Polly Smith play volleyball. The winter season always finds Morgan and Strater yielding to their monkey in- stincts on the apparatus, while Betsy, Nat, Nickie, and Bobbie Fellows uphold their own in Fencing. Leonore Perlstein takes the honors in Modern Dance, which, by the way, is presenting King Argimenes and The Unknown Warrior this year after the success of Don Juan. Gweny and Louise McKinney, our tap dancers, hope to under- study Eleanor Powell out Hollywood way, while Mary Cameron, Pat Rey, and Marion Rosenbaum whip into folk dances as if they came from the old country. Spring finds Taylor, Gordon, Beppy, and Betsy Thorogood trying to improve their batting average. Carol, Pat Ganoe, and Beppy are often on the Lacrosse field. We owe our success in tennis to Mary Ellen Freeman, Dora, Gweny, and Ruth Nelson. W ' e wish here to express our regret for having lost such athletic members of the class as Putzie Hinrichs, Charlotte Chaffee, and Marjorie Soltman. ' 38 swells with pride when we realize how many of its members are wearers of the Wellesley Blazer, the highest athletic award. Congratulations are in order for Nickie Swaffield, Gweny Wilder, Dora Walton, Marjorie Morgan, Mary Ganoe, Carol Strater and Betsy Thorogood. Both Badminton and Fencing have generated during our day. Our young sisters will have tales of squash, swimming, indoor tennis, bowling, and the like to tell us after the completion of the Swimming Pool and Recreation Building next year. The ghost of the Swimming Pool is to be resurrected at Commencement — thanks to the contributions of friends, Alumni, and undergraduates — to say nothing of the sale of apples, crew hats, and ski caps. The Swimming Pool dances have become a tradition. We ' ve participated in Sports Days both here and at other colleges. Indoor Meets, Float Nights, and Field Days for four years, always being able to hold our own. Throughout our college generation ' 38 has been active in A. A. winning and losing her share but always playing for the fun of the sport. [206] ellesley (Athletic Association OFFICERS Gwendolyn E. Wilder ' 38 President Margaret Bass ' 38 . .

HERE were several high spots in Outing Club activities this year. In the fall Alumnae Hall was completely transformed for the Freshman Barn Dance. Pumpkins, piles of leaves, rakes and hoes, dungarees and short gingham dresses, and a regular country swing band did the trick. The winter season peak was at- tained — thanks to St. Peter for two weeks of ice and snow — with the Winter Carnival. On Friday night the college and its guests saw the skating exhibitions on the lake as music was carried clearly through the cold, crisp air. Hot dogs and steaming coffee kept the spectators warm. A skit. Little Red Riding Should, in which the members performed on skis, was enacted Saturday afternoon in conjunction with the downhill races. The week-end was culminated with the crowning of the King at a dance at Alumnae Hall Saturday night. The high spot of the spring season is the trip to the South Shore. Outing Club functions continuously, however, with week-ends trips to the mountains, Sunday horse- back rides, overnight trips to the Cabin near Ashland, and ski week-ends in the winter. Outing Club offers to the college opportunities for active comradeship and memorable experiences throughout the beauties of a New England year. [220] ellesley blazers Mary P. Ganoe ' 38 Marjory A.

She dug into her desk drawer and pulled out an infinitesimal slip of paper. Let ' s see, she muttered, chewing on the eraser of her pencil, what do I need? Seems as if I have to get a million things every day. She scribbled busily for a moment. . . ink. . paper. . a flower for my hat ... She paused. I ' m glad Dad sent that extra money. I ' ve wanted to do this for a long time. ' ' She wrote those smoothie shoes and under- scored the words joyfully. Think I ' ll window-shop for a new formal for the all college dance, too, she thought. I saw some darling prints in the Vil just the other day. Wish I could have about a dozen of ' em. She opened the door. Did you want tooth-paste, Mary? she called, and wrote that down as a loud affirmative came floating down the hall, Guess I ' m ready, she decided, and squashing the bit of paper in her pocket she ran down the stairs. Once on her way alo ng the meadow path her thoughts ran busily on before her. Wonder if Mom would like cut flowers or a corsage for Easter? Guess I ' ll get her some violets. I ' d like some of those myself. They ' d look pretty with that navy coat I bought last week. . .I ' ll have to be careful or I won ' t have any money left at all, and I do want to get that darling little pottery horse. . . H ' m . . Two dollars for that. . .Or maybe I could get my hair done in a page boy for the fraternity dance instead. . .Wonder what Bob would say? . . .She skipped across the street. I ' ll decide later, she thought. Just so long as I have enough for a sundae to-day. Living from day to day is a mighty big problem, we know. But the solution is not so difficult.
