Again in the fall of ' 42 we Joined the services with Buffy and Peter to send our bit to Russia, Greece, Yenching, and Millville. No fooling this time! From Head Warden Smith to the humblest First Aiders, building aides, and messengers, we sought shelter at the sound of the Power House Whistle. We even practiced at 4:00 A. M. (remember?) and learned to concentrate through anything (even bridge) during exam-time raids. The gracious First Lady was notable among many Forum guests during our college years. We looked forward to the nights when Alumnae was open to the college, the village, and various Boston reporters for such speakers as Mrs. F. D. R., Max Lerner, or Mr. Farley. Despite the man -power shortage we Juniors mustered enough recruits for a glorious week- end — starting with Prom! From meeting him at the train, the Formal dinners at Tower and Severance, dancing in be-decked Alumnae, till the very last minutes at the shore it was — as always — perfect ! Our last Float Night for a while and a perfect sunny day for Tree Day. Watching Humpty ' s antics in Hire in ontlerlaiuL we remembered older years rising at 6:45 to practice barefoot on the green, silting in the libe subconsciously learning the potent and inescapable— melodies Of the Coq IX (Jr. NOV. 1941 DEC. 11 1941 MARCH 27 1942 APRIL 24 1942 MAY 16 1942

MAY 1-23 1941 MAY 10 1941 SEPT. 12 1941 OCT. 7 1941 NOV. 14 1941 How many May Days in the month of May? We Sophomores celebrated three in the drizzling rain on Tower Hill! This year as we cheered the blotter-pictures on the hill, we remembered other May Days — all the days when we were little sisters, too. Since the days of Paul Revere — or nearly- very tired youths have sprinted down the turnpike by the Quad. Since the days of the Durants, Wellesley girls have spurred them on with oranges. We ' re not Ivory Towerists at heart and like a share in local doings. Say Annisquam to any ' 43 Vil Junior and hear her reveries! Ever say cheese while Sallie ' s camera clicked? or ride 18 in a boat through Gloucester harbor? This was only the start of our junior year — the one which they always say cannot be repeated. Lanterns under the arch; 43 on the march! Our first real chance at the Junior steps. Our first cheer for Our lit-tle sis-ters. All through college we loved these moments (stolen from the library) with the song we hked to sing by the old chapel step. Isn ' t that Kleenex a nice touch — so homey! Kay and Mary worked hard to make Wellesley ' s attempt at coeducation a success. So did Joan and Kim and all those jolly juniors — even to our only he-man, — Mugs. Of all the Junior Shows we ever saw . . . ! !
