He endeared himself as a stimulating teacher and an exhilarating friend. 20 M mij i HPBI H| 1 X A y 1 1 ■■■■A 1% LJ ■■■■1 1 1 I M 1 in M 1 m 1 np J r V K 7( v X K 1 1 k S hI 1 p _ __— — g r Y 1 HI HHHHI 1 1 t miLu 1 V ■ 1 ■ ■ . ::..m 1 1 .„iiil The WelLESLEY Seal — huipil vita naoa CM.n at4tv)it an l ii|M n ■■« ' villii t ' ; «r« ' ii.

We bought orange juice at the El table for our belated break fast. In the afternoon some of as exercised our vocal tal- ents in Billings at Verse-speaking Choir rehearsals. Those who ivere athletically inclined used the 4:40 period to practice schneepfiugs ' or ' sitzmarks ' on Observa- tory Hill. In the spring as freshmen and sopho- mores we cavorted about in our old-fashioned chic alluring gym cos- tome, striving with determination for a place on our class crew. As dignified seniors we took a half-hour off some Wednesday afternoon to press our gown, in prep- aration for its public appearance in chapel on Thursday morning. hurAclciL In iittr srnior war Thttrsilfiy was a dav set apart, the day hp ivorc uiir caps ami goiviis to chapel and heard one of our classmates lead the service, tf e felt pleasant- ly conspicuous in class amongst those of lesser academic status.

Thursday after- luion was free for class meetings, for skating, skiing, or long walks. On a Thursday in February we aicoke to find the campus buried in snow after the I nlen- tine s Day blizzard, and on hectic Thursdays our racations began. Some- times we gathered before bedtime to celebrate a birthday, shrieking uith laughter in the half-hour before the ten o ' clock (juiet set in.

We fell ne cttuld take time for sun- bathing on the roof in- reading ' Life ' we wan - dered doivn to the village and contemplated going to the movies without too much of a qualm.

If we chose to stay in U ellesley, there was bicycling along rimntry roads, playing in faculty-student games on Field Days, or canoe- ing on Lake B aban. On special Saturdays tve went to Ham pmduc- tions. Otherwise we ate supper in an almost empty dining room and hurried uf}stuirs to dress for an eight o ' clock date. At one o ' clock we tip- toed in, and stayed awake for awhile to dis- cuss the events of the evening. Ul w S uncla Sunday ivas our day of worship and of con- templation in the pleasant society of our friends. We went to chapel together, and walked home discussing the sermon. IT e joined Miss Clark for Sunday dinner at the Outing Club Cabin or to climb Mt. Monadnock. Tak- ing our cameras tve went for long walks around the campus, showing our guests the beauties of Longfellow Pond, Tupelo, the Mathe- matical Gardens, and The Botanv Gardens. ffe disturbed the Sun- day quiet of Green Hall to show our friends the Katherine Lee Bates murals or to climb the Toivei — up, up past the carillon to the windy platform on top. We drank tea in our rooms or cooked supper with the help of other class- mates at society vespers. Later we remembered that tomorrow was Mon- day, and we had best be prepared to resume again our academic life. The Houghton Memorial Chapel . . . My soul doth magnify the Lord . o,. -- ' .

After our first take over when we had graduated. class meeting, in Alum- nae Hall, we enl wilh our il Juniors to lie introduced to the Grav Book, to make our ac- quaintance with the lib- eral legislation which was to control our social life at college. Looking through its pages and noticing the chart of offices with their ratings in the extra-cur- ricular scale, we wondered how soon we would be pointed . We flipped quickly past society regulations, little realizing how soon they would assume vital importance. When our first class officers were elected, we realized with a feeling of significance that w e were now definitely organized as a class. In March we stood in the court behind Green Hall and cheered heartily as some of our big sisters became major officers. We looked anxiously ahead to the lime when Village Juniors would be chosen from our midst. When the time came, we wished the candi- dates luck as they set out for conferences, and cheered proudly when the chosen few stood before us. At last we were upperclass- men!

We felt strangely wistful as we heard her quote a letter from a member of the class of 19.39 who said, Tell the freshmen that four years are an incredibly short time. They ' ll discover the rest for themselves. Other vesper services during the year were led by President McAfee, Dr. Harold C. Philipps, Dr. Clements, and Rufus ,|ones. On Sunday nights when there were no all- college vespers, there was a service in the C. A. lounge at which symphony music was played. These provided an interesting op- portunity for students to lead worship ser- vices. Another worthwhile program was the supper discussion at which Rabbi Clinchy, Elizabeth R.

Realizing that the world was going through a period of tumultuous upheaval, we turned to Forum for an understanding of political and social changes. We waited in line for tickets to the first dinner discussion, and listened intently as Frederick L. Schunian of Will- iams College told us that through our present policy (before embargo repeal) the United States was Germany ' s economic ally. At another dinner discussion we heard Phillip La Follette. At the last of these most im- portant Forum gatherings we heard a lecture on the 1940 campaign, entitled, Roosevelt. Statesman or Politician? A behind-the- scenes view of a presidential election was described in an all-college lecture by Post- master General .Tames A. Farley. In October, Forum, in cooperation with C. A., sponsored a conference to investigate racial prejudice. Rabbi Clinchy and Dr. Schulman. director of the National Con- ference of Christians and .lews, were I he speakers. Forum collaborated also with the History department to present a series of lectures on the background of the War. urrent ren dd Miss Orvis discussed the positions of Russia and Poland, Miss Ball told of events in Central Europe, Miss Williams outlined the attitude of England and France, Miss Hol- born llial of Germany, and Mr. Curtis, in the final lecture, discussed Propaganda and the War. On March 2nd a New England conference on Domestic Relations was held at Wellesley. Thus through its varied activi- ties Forum played a most significant role in the cultural life of the college.

Its news columns picture past and future events; editorials inter- pret the life in Wellesley and the outside world; Free Press criticizes and suggests; features offer leisure reading. Every Wellesley girl, whether it is while she is attending Wellesley or when she is an alumna, feels the importance of Nen-s to Wellesley, but few of them realize the im- portance oiNeivs to its editors and reporters. News is one practical course you can take at Wellesley. The senior editors go to the printers every Tuesday evening and make up the pages for the issue, which is to come out that Thursday. The type is already set and has been proof-read, but the girls place it on the pages just as they want them. They learn a great deal about the problem behind the printing of the paper, and see the News actually take shape before their eyes. The reporters get experience in all phases of newspaper work. Their assignments mav include a poem on communism, an interview with an austere professor, a drama criticism, or a straight news assignment. Besides cov- ering their assignments the reporters spend time in the News office obtaining a knowledge of all the different trends in the newspaper world. They read the exchanges, which come into the office from some sixty colleges all over the country. But above all these reporters develop a nose for news, and learn all the intricacies of Wellesley ' s organ- izations. Readers of the newspaper so often fail to appreciate the effort and time the Business Board spends on News. Every week tlie trudge through the streets of Wellesley haunting the shops for advertisers. After they have solicited the ads it is their job to write them up, and after the paper has come out they must see to the distribution of the News. But it isn ' t all work! The girls have had a great deal of fun working and playing together, especially when they are doing a special feature issue. During the year they usually have three special issues: Junior Prom, Service Fund, and Spring Drama. Who are these practical, newsv girls? Editorial Board Editor-in-Chief.

Thk Rciiciv Bisr Kss Hiivki ntormulitu of iKecorci was the vague theme that presented itself to the minds of Legendas staff last spring. They started out with the idea of a scrap- book, containing the pictures and story of four years at Wellesley which would come to mean so nuicli to the class of 1940. From this germ of an idea the Lcgenda grew, into the rather striking contrasts of black and blue division pages, cut-out shapes signify- ing the divisions they stood for, script head- ings running right into the text. Yet there has been a continual striving to find people and places and events which would be of significance — the teachers we listen to in classes, the traditions which are integrally bound up with Wellesley, the places we have loved to roam in, the friends we have known. Legenda is a book for Wellesley, and Welles- ley is a book which has opened its pages in Legenda. Editorial Board Editor-in-Chief, Marilyn Evans ' 40: Literary Editors. Jane MacMaster ' 40.

We ' ve met these college reporters at Poets Read- ings, Forum Dinners, Art Exhibits, and at the many other campus ac- tivities which they report for newspapers all over the country. We ' ve seen their stories in the Neiv YorJi Times, the Cliristiati Science Monitor, and the Kansas City Star. We have gladly posed for pictures, eating ice cream cones at the opening of the Well or pinning roses on our Society daugh- ters. We have cooperated with them by keeping our names out of advertisements, and by not giving out news ourselves, in observance of the Gray Book regulations. About once a week we perused the clip- pings on the Press Bulletin Board in the basement of Green. Sometimes we went into the Publicity Office to see the reporters at work. One girl perhaps was phoning Honors Day names to her city editor; another was pounding out a story about Senior Prom. A third might be going through the file of cards on which are written information which will be used as a basis for the obit- uary that is written for each senior and sent with her picture to her home-town newspaper at Graduation time.

In iheir blue and black robes, their faces framed against the carved paneling of the chancel, the choir members remind lis of singers in a medieval English cathedral. On weekdays as they come marching down the aisle after chapel we look u]) from our own hymn books to watch their faces. Gradually we reahze how integral a part of the Wcllesley scene is the choir. Four times this year we went with our friends to the brightly lighted chapel on Sunday evenings to hear vespers. After glancing at our programs to see the names of selections and composers, we relaxed, enjoy- ing the music of the organ and full -toned voices. At the regular November, Christmas, and Baccalaureate vespers, the choir sang alone. But on Palm Sunday amid the solem- nity of the Lenten season, we heard the choir and the Harvard Glee Club together sing Brahms ' Requiem. At other times the choir members departed gaily for their off- campus concerts, which included one with Exeter and one with M. I. T. Occasionally they met in one of the society houses for supper and an informal sing. Realizing that it results from long hours of earnest practice, we are proud of the choir ' s splendid tone and harmony, of its invaluable contri- bution to our musical experience. he VUellesleu L olieae LA f ¥ ' OIF First Sopkanos Elizabeth G.

A balloon shoot was combined with the regular rounds. Each house had different colored balloons set up on targets at which the teams shot. The house with the most balloons left up at the end of the match won the contest. In the joint scores, the Tower and Quad teams tied, with the Vil team second. A W was won by Grace Person ' 40. In the spring the brisk competition be- tween the houses was continued. llCIIi ' filry (irchrrs (iguiiifit a darkened sky year.

Its members are the following girls: Caroline Knight ' 42, Katherinc Sprunt ' 42, Katherine Ebbert ' 42, Elizabeth Ralph ' 42, Martha Bieler ' 41, Virginia Andersen ' 41. The Quad team won the interdormitory competition. Indoor basketball was organized into twelve house teams which were divided into two leagues. An exhibition match was played in the spring with the Antiques, a group of physical education teachers from around Boston. 60 Riding Head. Ada Epstein ' 41. Honorary Varsity: Marion Baird ' 42, Maria Herrera 41. Ada Epstein ' 41. Virginia Stiles ' 41. Instead of holding an exhibition of out- door riding on Fall Field Day, riders gave a demonstration at the Weston Saddle and Bridle Club. Wellesley riders also took part in the Eighth Annual Athletic Association Horse Show, given in December in Weston. Betty McKenzie ' 41 won the championship. Mary Saalfield ' 42 and Maria Herrera ' 41 won second and third places respectively. Fencing Head, Joan Little ' 41. A new fencing arm was added to the fencing equipment this year. Members of Mornina, canter t ' criccrs take their stance the class fenced with the Dana Hall group in the spring. An advanced fencing class was organized for the first time. Modern Dance Head, Mary E. Coe ' 41. Director. Miss Charlotte McEwan. Starting with a tea held for new members in the recreation building, the fall activities of the College Dance Group consisted of weekly meetings with the Apprentice Dance Group, culminating in a demonstration held November 10 in Alumnae Hall. Original dances were given by Betsy Coe ' 41, Helene Kaplan 41. and Rhea Ornstein ' 40. Technique and composition classes were also held under theguidanceof Miss McEwan. Instead of participation in the theatre workshop production in the spring, the dance groupsneld a recital. In conjunction with Constance St. Onge, head of Tree Day, mem- bers of the dance groups composed and pre- sented the dances in the Tree Day pageant. Badminton Head, Jane Hathen ' 41. Members of sport: Emily Browning ' 40. Marva Peterson ' 40, Mary -Eliza Turner ' 40, Carol Wysor ' 40, Jane Hathen ' 41, Edith Fisher ' 41, Carolyn Nelson ' 42, Billie Maxey ' 42. This year the sport of hadminton was or- ganized by establishing badminton ladders in houses, or groups of houses. The ladders consisted of the following groups: Tower Coin ' t; Munger, Norumbega. and Com- nmters; Village; Stone-Davis. Homestead. Dower, and Severance; and the Quadrangle. Mixed double games were played. The season ended with interdormitory compe- tition in which the girls near the toj) of the various ladders represented their dormitory in the final matches. Indoor Sports Head. Betty Bamford ' 41. There was an unusual interest shown this year in gymnastics in coinparison with other fl (Itch the hinlie! Going up. ' years. Ten or twelve voluntary advanced gymnasts came out regularly rather than one or two as in former years. The indoor demonstration in March ter- minated the season. Beginning with the grand march including all the participants, the exhibition continued with separate features given by the gymnastics, modern dance, tap dancing, fencing, folk dancing, and badminton classes. The names of those outstanding in the sports were announced, 11 ' s were awarded, and the new heads of uinler sports were named by the president of the Athletic Association. Squash Head, Rebecca Jackson 40. Because squash is such a new and un- familiar sport at Wellesley. it is still being conducted on a ()lunlar basis. The follow- ing girls are conducting the classes: Carol Wysor ' 40, Rebecca Jackson ' 40, Katherine Snow ' 41, Grace Person 40, Marva Peterson ' 40. A very enthusiastic group is going out for squash, and as more girls become interested, there is a possibility that two more courts might be finished and that squash might become a formally organized sport. Members of the Women ' s National Squash Racquets Association gave an exhibition and lecture and played with some of the girls in December. The National players also gave a demonstration at the opening of the new Recreation Building. A well known professional player from Boston gave lessons to some of the more advanced students. Squash game In the swim Swimming _:j ■SBSii Head, Martha Bieler ' 41. Swimming was organized as a sport this fall for the first time since the new swimming pool was completed last spring, and the best swimmers organized as a club. A party for the freshmen started off the year. Life-saving and diving classes were held, and evening splash parties were given for various houses. Another swimming feature was a cross country race between the houses. Swimmers kept track of the lengths they swam to see which house would first total lengths equal to the distance across the country. For the demonstration held Fall Field Day members of the swimming and diving classes gave a well executed water ballet with formations to music. The life-saving classes gave a demonstration. Later in the year a pageant was held. 63 Golf Head, Margaret Gififord ' 41. 1939 Varsity: Helen Shane ' 40. Joy Tweedie ' 40. Virginia Allen ' 42. Margaret Carey ' 42. Mary Fenton ' 42.

The singles competition was won by Martha Elliott ' 43 and the doubles by Marva Peterson ' 40 and Carolyn Elley ' 40. Each player winning a match scored a point for her house. The six highest houses were Eliot, Shafer, Cazenove, Tower, Beebe. and Munger.

The browbeaten faculty looked with consternation upon the Wonder Student team of 1939 which snapped the faculty ' s winning streak which has been going on since ' 36, and gave them a real trouncing with the phenomenal score of 16-14. Amazed at our own prowess, we still wonder what kind of magic Miss McAfee breathed on that first pitched ball, although Miss McAfee openly asserted her equal attach- ment for both teams.

Upon Carol Wysor was bestowed this fall the honor of wearing a Wellesley blazer. Carolyn Elley and Marva Peterson had pre- viously won their blazers their junior year. In winning blazers, these three have carried out the requirements of the Athletic Associa- tion that state that this honor is bestowed only upon those who have sportsmanlike conduct in all college activities, contribute lo the Athletic Association besides playing on teams, and are outstandinglv proficient and versatile in athletics.

The Winter Carnival in January provided fun for all win- ter sports lovers with a skating exhibition. The (Siting Cub Members 66 The new Recreation Building, housing the George Howe Davenport Stvimming Pool The Recreation Building Never will we forget the first time we entered the new Recreation Building or had our first swim in the long-awaited pool. We admired the blue bathing suits that were so carefully matched to the blue tile trim of the pool, and we splashed merrily in waters puri- fied by the latest methods. Somewhat tentatively, we tried our hand at squash and found we liked it. The walls of the courts had been painted a bluish tint to eliminate eyestrain. We were amazed at the attention to detail throughout the whole building. Battleboard tennis was also a new sport to us. and badminton seemed somehow dif- ferent played on gleaming dark floors. We liked coming up from a dip to revel in the delightful luxury of the lounge, or to fix a snack in the exciting modernity of the kitchen. The new Rec Building has been well worth our patience in watching the slow growth of the swimming pool fund, for which we sold apples in the days that seem so long ago. 67 , dclt K ld • • • To Alma Malor.

We never seemed able to find our friends behind those strange doors. But we liked our new houses. We were cheered to discover that they subscribed to I ogue and The New Yorker instead of Hvgeia. We enjoyed meeting and making friends among the upperclassmen. We liked living on campus where we could take part in uu)re activities. We found ourselves going to lec- tures, to Forum dinners, to Poet ' s Readings, forming groups to discuss the foreign situa- tion, joining Barn, and going up to the Recreation Building for our cross-country swim.

Until Thanksgiving all went well. Un- limited overnights had solved our week-end worries. We were no longer lost in the intri- cacies of Boston geography. But Thanks- giving brought us face to face with a great dilemma. We didn ' t know which day to cele- brate. We finally decided that there was notliing to do but to eat turkey twice. Yes, college had improved our reasoning ability. Unlike Thanksgiving, Christmas comes l ut once a year. But we don ' t believe we could ever again live through those frantic days preceding Christmas. In one brief week we managed somehow to write papers, take our quizzes, attend several Yuletide parties, do all our Christmas shopping and address all our Christ- mas cards. Small wonder we were tired on the final morn- ing, when at an early hour, we stumbled through the corridors singing carols to the seniors. We returned from the vacation as new women — we hoped. Our exam schedules, with Bible the very first day, were somewhat dispiriting. But we reviewed resolutely, trying to remember the essentials about Moses. David, Amos, and Isaiah while the jiuiior across the hall played Scalterbniin on her victrola. Occasionally llic sound of skating on the lake would lin-c us outdoors for an hour of exercise after which we warmed ourselves with hot chocolate at the Well. After the long week-end we returned from skiing or from seeing Gone With The W ind Tower Court Graceful Gothic 75 to start preparing for Sophomore Tea Danee. It was a grand success. Yes. although we hadn ' t thought it possible, it even surpassed our Freshman Ball. Spring came, and with it those days tliat mean so nnich at Wellesley — May Day, Float Night, and Tree Day. Last year we had witnessed them with a sense of curiosity and wonder. This year we took pari, undcr- background of the night. And there was a glorious new excitement in Tree Day.

' - ' At Formal chapel we lost some of our gay mood — we were at last sitting in the nave of the chapel. The class of ' 40 sat in front of us, subdued in caps and gowns. Next year was our year. But we had this year to worry aliout first. There was Junior Show. We had had such good ideas sophomore year. l)nt when fall came with tlie outbreak of war, our ideas sounded passe; so we gathered together to write Phoney Island, a thrilling drama of Wellesley on a South Sea Island. We will never forget Jane Becton ' s Martha Raj ' e-ish version of an island queen, Peggy West- heimer in her characterization of Garbo, Stan in her witch doctor sequence, Marge McCullough and Nancy Stearns as the young lovers, and last but not least, the little htda dancers.

In the middle of fall, societies opened iheir doors to us. For days we rushed around drinking tea and visiting all the houses. Then came Rose Day — we were in! What a delight our memberships were! We met new friends, went to Sunday night vespers, dropped in for hot chocolate after skating. We didn ' t know ' how we had existed without societies in our freshman and sophomore years. And from what we have heard, the seniors were glad to have us, for we are sup- posed to he grade A cooks. It was a wonderful year! We loved our new grade three courses: they made us feel that we were really doing some concentrated studying. Everyone felt contented, as though she were a part of Wellesley and Wellesley a part of her. Friendships, one of the most im- portant opportunities Wellesley offers, were really appreciated this year. After supper we gathered together in our rooms to listen The lake from Tower Court Brorzos Itlou ' cnllv fnitii II ahiin 79 Phonev Islniiil. where sliipu recked W ellesleyiles meel Queenie, and learn ihal Mrniiiiiils Haw All thf Fun to Beethoven ' s Fifth and to discuss the Phaedo — it was a wonderful Hfe. Christmas vacation spoiled us somewhat, and Wellesley didn ' t seem quite the same afterwards, especially with exams looming ahead. But after a week or so we got hack into the swing. We had so much to keep us husy hefore those awful two weeks, — things like Academic Council and Winter Carnival. Academic Council was supposed to he a senior show, but we had to have our ])art in it too. While the principal per- formers were busy getting into their bor- rowed faculty clothes, we paraded in front of the curtain, imitating the dignified seniors. Spring followed soon after our mid-term exams, and with spring came Junior Prom plans. We invited the handsomest men we knew months in advance. And we had to be particularly careful in our choice because it was Leap Year. May eleventh came and went too quickly, and we have only our mem- ories now — wonderful memories of flowers, beautiful dresses, tails. Bobbie Olsen and Fitzie leading the Grand March, lieach parties and picnics on the week-end at the Cape. Suddenly we realized that we weren ' t going to be Jolly Juniors much longer. We saw our classmates become Major Oflicers and don caps and gowns. The most thrilling experience of all was stepsinging, when we marched down from the arch at Green Hall, singing for the first time the Marching Song of 1941. Gone were our junior days — ahead of us was a greater year — Senior Year! 80 The path down to Tupelo Point The Tupelo Tradition KJrcind yyid Seniors In 1936 we received our letters of accept- ance from Miss Wellington. The numerals 1940 sounded queer, describing a verv far- distant time. From then on things which had loomed dimly on the ])eriphery of our expe- rience, things we had heard about college life were to become as famiHar as precis writing. Latin conjugations, and high school basketball. A barrage of other letters soon filled our mailboxes. Besides numerous ad- vertisements there was a small red hand- book, which told us altout extra-curricular organizations in college. Its frontispiece was a picture of Mildred Helen McAfee, Wel- lesley ' s new president. We remembered reading about her appointment in the New York Times or the Kansas City Star. The booklet also contained valuable coupons which we could use at the hairdressers or the Community Playhouse. Other letters came from Belts Wunderle, Secretary of College Government, and from our big sisters who wrote, I would Uke to take you to Fresh- man Vaudeville on the first Saturday and to Chapel on the second Sunday. Some of us had letters from our room-mates saying, I have brown hair and eyes and am not a good student. After hurried shopping for sweaters and three-piece suits, w ' e sent our trunks ahead by Railway Express. We were almost there ! Laden down w-ith suitcases and odd boxes we arrived in Wellesley one Tuesday morn- ing and asked the way to Washington or Noanctt. We drove around the campus looking for Homestead or Norumbega. The sun sparkled on the lake. Here and there we saw groups of Ask-Me ' s looking casual and at home in sweaters and skirts and saddle shoes. Feeling rather lost, we tugged our bags into the house, where we were surprised to hear someone call us by name. It was our Vil Junior, who had been studying pictures in the portrait directory for weeks. She helped us carry our bags upstairs, reminding us to Vi asiiin(;t )iv House Sliilrlv iiillurs ffreet us first fresliinan class. The week that followed was one of the busiest in our college careers. We went to meetings, took tests, inspected the library, and went on our bicycles to Hathaway to buy the English Comp pamph- let. We visited girls in other houses, and sat up lale at night in our first bull sessions. At chapel on Saturday morning we saw our first academic procession.

When the ordeal was finished, we breathed sighs of relief. Wellesley cer- tainly did things thoroughly! Next morning we assembled in Alumnae Hall to be welcomed by Miss McAfee as her structors all looked strange and very im- pressive. At Freshman Vaudeville we saw another side of Wellesley as we enjoyed the whimsical interpretations of college activ- ities presented for our benefit. Sunday morning after chapel we came home to find cards with tiny sprays of wild flowers and the words God is Love at our places a t dinner. We thought the Wellesley traditions we had encountered so far were very beautiful.

Next morning, timidly clutching our treasurer ' s receipts, we went to get our ad- mission cards. Some of us were met by l)ig sisters, who helped us to make out our schedules from an enormous chart. We read the Index Board and steeled ourselves for our first class. History 101 D, Room 121 . . . Immediately we were introduced to a variety of texts and sources. For six weeks or more we fumbled and floundered, but when the time came to write our source themes we began to feel at home in the library stacks. We were beginning to l)e scholars. One autumn afternoon we dressed in white, and feeling very festive took our places on Norumbega Hill for Miss McAfee ' s inaugural procession. Over near the Art Building we saw a little group of people with bright colored hoods over their aca- demic gowns. Among them were the speaker for the occasion. Dr. Henry McCracken of Vassar. Dr. Cleland Boyd McAfee, and Mildred Helen McAfee. M.A., LL.D., L.H.D., seventh president of Wellesley College. Some of us had been lucky enough to draw tickets for the exercises in Alumnae; others managed to stand in the back of the auditorium. We heard Miss McAfee receive 84 the symbolic keys of the college and speak convincingly of the necessity for the liberal arts college. We were conscious of having been present on an historic occasion in the annals of Wellesley. One morning we saw on our class board a notice from the sophomores announcing Hazing Day. We asked the juniors and seniors about it. Was it better to learn the songs and avoid court or to defy the terror- izing? When the fatal day arrived we wore big green hair ribbons, and carried our books in pillowcases. Some of us had to sing stand- ingon theradiator near the Index Board.

Our rooms in Stone or Tower seemed a vast improvement over the small, darker ones in the frame houses. We noticed that the crowd was somehow together in spite of our trepidation after room-drawing last May. For that we silently thanked Mrs. Ewing. Sophomore year the work seemed harder. The faculty no longer tolerated the weak- nesses they had pretended not to notice freshman year. Some of us had trouble in speech class with our New Jersey or Texas accents. We engaged in heated arguments at the lunch table over perplexing problems in Biblical criticism, correlated our Poli Sci with events we read about in the New York Times, and started to think seriously about our majors. Our sophomore officers were duly elected: President, Marjorie Noppcl; J ice President, a new aura of dignity, and the new Vil Myra Ann Graf; Treasurer, Betty Jane Juniors, hastily reviewing their lessons in Wright; Recording Secretary, Carol Wysor; the portrait directory.

Winter Carnival was a great success, in j)art because of the abundance of snow and smooth ice. On Friday evening wc watched the figure skaters and the barrel jumper and skated happily to waltz music from a loud- speaker. Next afternoon we gathered at the foot of Observatory Hill to watch the slalom races, marveling to see our own class- mates executing stem turns and christies, and laughing aloud at the clever presenta- tion of Little Red Riding Should on skis. At Faculty Informals we gave Mr. Haroutunian a carrot corsage, laughed to see our dignified instructors on the stage, and shrieked with horror at the mystery drama. At Sophomore Tea Dance wc danced to the music of Ridty Newman and joined in singing Thanks for the Memory and other songs. Afterwards wc put away our dance pro- grams, pressed flowers from our corsages, and commenced looking forward to Junior Prom. About this time it occurred to some of us that a part of college life was slipping away, that it was high time we entered into extra- curricular activities. We tried out for the News Business Board, for Revieic. for Barn plays or stage coiiunittees — any organiza- tion that would give us the slightest en- couragement. We began to take more interest Little Red Ruiing Should . . . Who ' s Afraid nj the Big Bad ffulf?

We took note of special exhibits in the library, the Art Building, and on the French corridor in Founders. Gradually we were growing to appreciate more fully the intellectual riches offered us by Wellesley. When junior year began we would be full- fledged members of the community, ready to pass the spirit and tradition of Wellesley to the incoming classes. In March Wellesley made its first attempt and the 1940 Village Juniors. They were: Rebecca Jackson. Virginia Grier. Elizabeth Gregory. Dorothy Southmayd. Marva Peter- son, Martha Graber. Janet Davidson, Mar- jorie Noppel, Margaret Gilkey, Eleanor Beane, Beth Bryson, Marjorie Jones. Mar- garet Hudson. Myra Ann Graf. Betty Jane Wright. Jean Kelley, and Ebet Ramsey.

We heard abou t the girls who were caught in the Art building and had to have food brought them through the underground tunnel connecting all tlie buildings on campus. The college was fortunate in having its own power system, so we continued to have lights wiien houses throughout the section had neither gas nor electricity. We classified the Hurricane of 38 with the Bliz- zard of ' 88 — resolving to store up our ex- periences as fit material for tales to our 96 grandchildren of a long winter ' s evening. We carried on bravely in the absence of our delayed classmates, taking five or six little sisters apiece to Freshman Vaudeville. Part of the confusion of the times was Hitler ' s move in Czechoslovakia, and the indignation about the NTunich pact. We turned out for a delayed Academic Pro- cession, but we picked up life again quickly after an interrupted start. We walked down by the lake on brisk fall days, glad to feel the tang in the air and to glory in the crisp would be in the same society. We waited at the sophomore transept afterwards, to hear the announcement of our officers — President, Mary Walling: Vice President, Betsey Staples; Recording and Corresponding Secretaries, Janie Strahan and Jean Rcarick; Treasurer, Mary Phil Taylor; Execntire Committee, Nancy Myers, Nat Maiden, Mary Turner; Factotums, Marjorie Li and Hilde Seelbach; Song Leader, Betty Darlington.

We came to warm our cold hands around the huge open bonfire; we sipped hot coffee and felt pleasantly glowing. Exams came and went — we didn ' t tal k about them so much any more. We were more serious about our work junior year. We felt an underlying connection between our courses; we understood the reason for pre- requisites. We reveled in the newly opened fields of Music 206; we were proud to have Nadia Boulanger a member of the faculty. Some of us thought about the prospect of taking honors senior year, and were excited about the possibility of doing individual research. The never-failing, all-absorbing topic of the day was Prom. Those of us who were in the houses, and saw trim pages in velvet surer had asked our dates at Christmas time, doublets and long hose bear flaming plum but some of us hated to flatter people into pudding into the dining room. We heard the thinking that this all-important event was sophomores singing to the seniors the last so important. We wondered about dresses, morning before vacation, and turned over about places to spend the week-end; we comfortably in our beds because we were in even worried, in February, about whom to that |)lcasanl in-between stage where we exchange dances with in May. Mary-Eliza didn ' t have to worry about candy canes and Purner was Prom Chairman, and she ar- carols at that hour — except for those of us ranged an entirely new and unprecedented Ptum piiflcliiig for (Jiristmas 100 Miss McAfee av,s ( (( ' conirrstimi ' of the Rcrrralion Ihiiliiin date for the great affair — so it wouldn ' t in- terfere with Dartmouth ' s Green Key, Prince- ton Houseparties, Yale boat races. But before that happened, there was an- ollier important event we ' d liecn huikhng up to since we had sold apples freshman year, and our parents had sent in their contribu- tions to the swimming pool fund. We had watched the progress of the Recreation Building since workmen broke ground in the spring, and Miss McAfee had laid the cor- nerstone during graduation weekend for the class of 1938. We heard glowing accounts of the beauty of cream tiling and a pale blue ceiling iu the wing housing the long-awaited swimming-pool. We tried out for Tidv of the 1 e«r.s. portraying the development of gym- nastics, and were thrilled by W. B. Yeats ' s strange phantasy. Fighting the W ai ' es.

The lounge of the RECREAXionj Bciidiing 101 ' The Most Historic May Day Ever Sep i. ' We crowded together in the court behind Green Hall to hear our major officers an- nounced, and wondered to think how young they seemed to be taking over the responsi- bililies of their positions. We knew, though, thai cdch one woidd succeed — President of Marsie Graber; President of C. A.. Beb Gregory; President of A. A., Marva Peterson; Head of Barnsivalloivs, Evie Van Wie; President of Forum, Shcrley Heidenberg; and lulilor-in-Chief of Neivs. Helene Kazanjian. That same inonth we heard the names of jur Durant and Wellesley scholars read out, and were proud that our classmates were so versatile. Easter vacation, and then May Day rolled around, with the memorable hoop-rolling that was won by a Ilarvartl man. Peggy Read, in an auburn wig and senior cap and gown, rolled his way- to victory and a bridal bouquet before the awful whisper went around, It ' s a man! — and the editor of the Harvard Lampoon had an unexpected plunge in the icy waters of Lake Waban. Vindicated, we saw Peg Cahill receive the forfeited prize, and went on about the business of the day, proud of the continuation of Wellesley traditions. May Day was eventful for the juniors, too. In the cool of the evening we marched down the hill singing our newly acquired Marching Song, written by Miggie de Almeida and Babs Oliver. Wellesley, march onward, and raise high your blue!

We gathered for stepsinging, waiting for the event we knew was coming — the an- nouncement of our own senior officers. We watched while a Ford of ancient vintage and a garbage truck passed by, leading up to the grand climax of the clean-up, with Margie Hudson. Rhea Ornstein, Peg Sands. Marilyn Evans, and Mary Ellen Crawford emerging laughing and excited from a shiny red Lewandos cleaning truck. Miss Wilson, newlv announced Dean of Students, was our honorary member on camp us; we were proud of all our choices.

Still, there was always stirringmusicof the Marching Song. We had Senior Prom, difficulty meeting people we were scheduled to trade dances with, but we didn ' t mind. There was a pervading rosy glow in the air. We drank milk and ate sandwiches at midnight, and experienced the thrill of atteiifiing a Wellesley dance until two o ' clock. We stayed up later, munching on crackers, to discuss every minute detail, treasuring it. We woke up bright and early to attend 8:40 classes with our escorts, show- ing them a part of our life at Wellesley. We startcf! off gaily to the Cape or the North Shore — gangs of us crowding into cottages to spend weekends that were nonsensically 104 r ?a sideration to the matter of our commeiice- 5 ment speaker, but it was still iti tlie dislaiiee.

We watched the class of 39 file away, and saw the awfid emptiness of the steps they left, until we surged down to take their places, and thereby came of age. We felt very solemn and serious, and responsible. We were to be seniors soon. We could look forward still. We were excited when Miss McAfee announced the plan for cutting off an end of the ballroom in Alum for a soda fountain. When we watched the seniors bask in the sun and go off to play tennis during the week before the General, we decided it wouldn ' t be so bad after all. We went in to be measured for our senior caps and gowns, and gave light con- Piimp and Circumstance tne J obbs and er DeScarte6 had ahNavs wanted to accomplish, yet had never seemed to have the time for.

We went to hear Beth Bryson make her introductory speech for the fresh- men, and thought somewhat wistfully that we would like to he starting all over again. We plunged into the business of putting on clever skits for sophisticated freshmen. We looked with eyes that were keenly aware at the old, familiar places, and felt a swift nostalgia creep up.

Yet we were caught in the swing of college life — we laughed at the absurd length of our gowns and grumbled about the choking stiffness of our high net collars, and marveled at the dignity we acquired by merely placing mortar-boards on our heads. We were proud of our little sisters as Dean Wilson read the list of freshman honors. But the announce- ment of Phi Beta Kappas was particularly impressive because the names were those of our classmates. We liked this new feeling of being the topmost class. We resolved to wear our caps and gowns to morning chapel on Thursdays, when our friends led the service. Those were troublous days for the world.

We were reaching our stride. We attended our last Christmas Vespers, thinking how much these services had always meant to us. We were startled to receive candy canes the last morning before Christ- mas recess. We didn ' t mind, too much, getting back from vacation to our friends.

Last stepsinging was pretty final, with Peg Sands leading us in the songs we had sung throughout our four years at college. We filed out two by two, singing Slowly now we go our way , to receive forget-me- nots from our little sisters. We had one more part in the college scene, though. Our Tay Ott was Tree Day mistress, with Margie Hudson, Mary Walling. Mary-Eliza Turner, and Hilda Seelbach for aides.

The under-classmen sang to us at breakfast the morning of May 31. and we went off to find that the bugaboo which had been bothering us wasn ' t so much of a thing after all. We were so relieved after- wards that exams seemed like six-weeks (juizzes — and then we stayed close to Wel- lesley in the interval before graduation. We wanted to feel and remember this place forever. We took our positions in the long line for Commencement Procession, a little warm in our heavy senior gowns, a little uncomfortable in our stiff collars, but proud to be wearing them. We heard the Com- mencement address, and filed past for our diplomas, and realized it wasn ' t the end, but the beginning — the start of a life that was the richer and fuller for our experience of Wellesley. We had a firm step for the road ahead.

Now a staff ' s pride and jov . . , Ideas take to paper and the presses roll off the finished annual ... a never-to-be- forgotten achievement for editor, business manager and colleagues. This 1940 Legenda is a record-maker among college yearbooks — an out- standing tribute to Editor Marilyn Evans and Business Manager Mary Ellen Crawford, plus their staff of competent colleagues. The track for modern yearbooks is fast. Yearbook editors have a task to per- form, yet one competently guided when the B. J. H. organization acts as coach. Baker, Jones, Hausauer, Inc. have, since 1898, serviced and produced over one thousand yearbooks. Each annual is a stor)- in itself of this firm ' s com- petent assistance, collaboration and service. To those who take over the 1941 Legenda, the B. J. H. College Annual organization provides the finest coach for your yearbook staff. Not just in smarter format, typography, content and art; not alone in complete publishing facilities right through binding and delivery — but in those equally vital matters of budgets, budget control, subscription and advertising revenue — the B. J. H. organization also gives you thorough professional advisement and assistance. A Baker, .lones, Hausauer contract means a distinguished book, produced with least effort, delivered on contract time, at exactly the price agreed upon.

One glance around my room, then break the spell And pack away my books. No use to dwell On winged hours passing — other girls before Have said good-bye and softly closed the door. Have looked down from this window, seen the swell And fading ou t of sunsets, loved as well As I, the feel of misty nights, the muffled roar Of trains through darkness. Future days, I know Will hold as much of beauty. Come! strip bare The shelves and tables. What ' s an ended year With all of life before me?
