MRS. VIRGINIA M. F ISKE Dean of the Class of 1953 In three years we remember the many firsts through which Mrs. Fiske has guided us. Although being a wife, mother, and xoologist required her attention many hours a day, she always had time to listen to our problems, real and imaginary, to chaperone our dances, and to congratulate us on our academic efforts. As her first class, we remember her patience in helping us to find a purpose in our lives and a place in the college community. MISS PAULINE TOMPKINS Honorary MClllb6P of the Class of 1953 At class dinners, in Forum, on the Senate Board, and in her Tuesday morning chapel talks, we remember Miss Tompkins as a challenging political and religious thinker. Her vital pres- entation of world problems stimulated many ol' us to major in Political Science and the rich student-f'acuIty relationships first established in our courses soon extended into our lives outside the class room.
