In case you, O witless Senior, have not preserved your youth in be-scrawled C.A. calendars, pause with us and remem- ber: how those Sophomores hazed us — our intricate upswept hairdos, gaudy purple ribbons, books carried in tin waste- baskets, soloing three verses of Problems — when choir had turned us down. Though Hazing Day as a tradition has van- ished, Forty-three will always keep it in memory along with Motor Tests, and Library Tours — all the things that happened to us in those first wonderful and bewildering months of col- lege. It was indeed by a miracle that Evolu. brought us from the embryonic mass, flattening itself in air-raids, to the dignity of our senior Tree Day court. DEC. 7 1939 Odd and rather symbolic that our life as a unified class began on this day — two years be- fore Pearl Harbor! When we sang so lustily to Nancy, Dobby, et al we little thought our later class meetings would concern Workroom, War Relief funds, and Emergency Courses. APRIL 27 1940 Did you go with the man you ' re engaged to now? Congratulations in retrospect, Pat, for ' 43 ' s coming-out party with all the spring flow- ers, balloons, and food for our Freshman appe- tites. Good floorshow, too, gals! MAY 1 1940 No Harvard track stars this year: just Wellesley blue for us. But how those seniors did run to be our best prospective bride ! This year, the course lined with Forty-three ' s war brides, we remaining hopefuls had more hope than ever. iffii FRESHMAN APRIL 27 N f r PS BEAUTIFUL Gl MUSIC DON
