This organization, made up of members of each class, keeps those outside the college informed about events and personalities here. After passing the tryouts, the members of Press Board start with both campus and home-town newspaper beats, and by senior year may succeed in handling all the news of the college for a Boston paper, for which they receive a wage. There is also a clipping bureau, which keeps track of the items printed, and clips and posts them on the bulletin board in Green Hall.

T Lhe Editorial and Business Boards of Legenda greet their public and earnestly hope that what we have done this year will please you all. Our book becomes yours, now— may it live up to its name by being well-read and familiar! T Lransiency is characteristic of college life. As Seniors we realize how briefly we have seen and known our rich tradition. At the end of this experience, it is good to recall what of Wellesley each of us shares with those who proceed and follow us, what remains when the 1942 Marching Song is no longer sung on campus. To bring to all classes those most familiar things about college is the purpose of this book. With a last backward glance, it ' s Legenda 1942! . . .

R [roceeding in a business-like way which belies the traditional temperament of creative artists, The Wellesley Review this year was under the economical management of a highly efficient Business Board. The Business Manager, Ruth Blaesing ' 42, is seen at the right with her staff, undoubtedly contemplating the budget. T, .he Wellesley Review appears on campus, in the Vil, on trains, and everywhere one can find a Wellesley-ite. This proves not only that we are proud of our literary magazine, but also that the readers and contributors constitute a large part of the college, and that The Review is an essential piece of our existence. This year, with Elizabeth Schwartz ' 42 as Editor-in-Chief, there was an emphasis upon being up-to-the-second with short stories, articles, essays, and special issues such as the March one, which featured Forum ' s Impact of War On the Citizen conference. 29
