And changed it by a miracle into a senior class OH E V O L U TT was Last Stepsinging in the spring - - of Junior Year that startled us into a realization that we had come of age. We seated ourselves on the Senior Steps for the very first time and watched the seniors moving silently off, each with her small cluster of blue forget-me-nots. We reflected soberly that next spring we would be march- ing two by two down the walk and up the road to sing the Alma Mater from the battlements of Green Hall. We thought of our first stepsinging when we had stood under the great oaks and proudly sung the Wellesley songs. We remembered how jubi- lantly we had dashed to take posses- sion of the Sophomore side of the steps. And now Junior year was al- most done and we were soon to be Seniors.

It was funny to find the Vil houses mixed in with the town. We thought a college was all in one piece. Washington was beautiful. Noanett looked like a reform school. It was hard to open the front door and it shut on our heels with a snap. The halls were hot! The early arrivals, comfortable in cotton dresses, had made friends and were walking familiarly around the halls. We met our Vil Juniors . . . Lee Wilson . . . Nancy Jane Miller . . . Our names were on the lists they held. We belonged! They took us to our rooms. How dark! How bare! Did we have to live there for a year? Would we be homesick? We put the thought aside. Our guidance books told us to see Miss V iggin . . . Mrs. Alexander . . . Miss Lind- sey. Then we had to register. So we found a girl who had asked us our names and together we headed for campus. And suddenly we were excited. We didn ' t know the names of the buildings or what went on in them but this was Wellesley! The pink tower rose before us. It was not plain gray as in the picture. The whole campus was done in colors. The prim- rose bushes; the chapel steps beneath the oaks; the huge evergreen trees; the vivid lawns, the hollow full of rhododendrons; the quaint [22]
