School days, school days — days spent in Founders Hall where classes with rapid note-taking, numerous roll-calls, mid-years, and finals leave us with nightmares. In the corridors of Founders, we jostle and elbow our way about, especially at the vortex of the whirlpool that is always swirling around the Index Board. Here, we battle for a place within visibility range of the board, which announces all the events of the day. If we only read the notices and then moved on, the con- gestion might not be so bad, but we meet friends and stay to talk, making passage through that particular part of the hall a matter of grim determination. Sometimes, there is a notice £ on the Index Board referring us to a class board, so we hasten downstairs to the little room, rather like the Black Hole of Calcutta, which is next to the one where the El table stands. There, usually before a big week-end, we often find little slips of paper bearing the well-known query: anyone driving to New Haven . . . , or Princeton, or . . . v ■

The chief purpose of C. A. can be well expressed in the words of Kahil Gihran: Work is love made visible. In all of its activities, but particularly through those of the study groups, dealing with pacifism, interfailh, and worship; through social work of various types; and even through posters on the index and house boards, our aim was entrusted to others. However, C. A. has not, and will not, confine itself only r to Wellesley. By- offering the college opportunity to work in these fields, C. A. hoped, not merely to create one friendly Wellesley community, but to widen its scope so that it contributed its share in the great undertaking of building a world founded on peace and love. e w Y Vvuj— e.

From class hoards, we arc drawn to the I ' d table in the next room lo lorlil ourselves wild a brownie, an ice cream sandwich, or a small orange juice until lunch. During the short ten minutes between classes, our de- mands keep C. A. volunteers rushing about confusedly. Here, loo, we meet friends lo share food and to talk, while we inspect the manv boards on the walls until we have to make a dash for our next class. From here to the English conference room is a long climb, and it isn ' t always easy when weighted down after a business deal at the El table. We go there by way of the proctors desk. When we reach the English conference room, we swell with pride at the growing piles of our English papers in the wall boxes, and then settle down to see if we can finish one more paper on time or to wait until we are summoned into one of the little offices which flank the room. We enter these with a cheery good- morning and close the door carefully on our comp. conference. 4dl 25
