t, a: Q L LiiEWL LL A e Act 2 is an open air scene at the southeastern corner ol Andrus Field, in the sprng of 1930. Dramatis Personae: A roaring bonlire 3 badlyesingetl freshman hats Inek Wells The class of 1933 lthen freshmeny The argument lasted for many tense moments, before Wells, stripped to the waist, scored tor 1932 and the Customs Committee. Frosh caps stayed on. Another taste of victory. Act 3 was staged in the spring of 1931. in the glamorous inner sanctum of the mighty Stueck. This event, the Junior Smoker, was managed by Harlan Griswold and Toast- mastered by Al Hart. Professors Ware and Wiggin and Mr. Frescoln favored with selecA tions of humor, and there was additional entertainment in the shape ofLwell. we've iota gotten the exact shape. Act 4. Recent events are fresh in our minds, so we will only mention the Centennial of last fall. Who can forget it? May we as a class pay our respects to the patience and skill of the organization which so ably carried out the diHieult task of staging the eelebrm tion; we have in mind especially Professor Van Dyke and his committee. The final act remains yet unwritten. Looking back oyer four years :It Middletown, we observe profound changes, some of which are for the good, one or two of which we regret. East Hall is a memory, as are Cross Street and the old Delta Upsilon House. The new Athletic Cage, new handball and tennis courts are no longer schemes on paper, and they will repay the investment and effort put into them. An improved North Field is now the seene of all home soccer games. The Dennison Terrace and the skillful landscaping of lawns and Other terraces hm'e beautilietl the campus immeasurably. Other changes. of :1 different sort. come to our mind. Professor Chanter has stepped into the none-tooeustho-hll shoes of Dean TiNie. Mr. Lewis is no longer at the Olin Library. but has left behind a muchapprecizited new system of withdrawing reserve books: the liberty of taking them from the building. We have made up our minds con- cerning the Gun Pomum, and are none the worse for a valuable lesson. If reports of alumni are to be believed, the present Argus is an improved paper over the Argm of four years ago. The tasks and joys of Wesleyan scholarship and athletics have been shared by many members of H '32. Fifteen seniors were elected to Phi Beta Kappa at the spring election. Varsity teams have been considerably buoyed by 1932,. athletes: 11ml such names as Wells, Wilcox, Tirrell. Iohnstone, Striebinger. Sweet and many others will be remembered for some time on fields of Wesleyan sport. In udditioni Debating. Glee Club and Dmmatics have drawn considerably from our membership. For four years the shadow of the phan- tom list has hung dangerously low, its ravages having cost us half of our original nunm ber. Those of us who remain leave Wesleyan regretfully. We go from her with a pro- found respect in our hearts for her ideals and teachings. We go with the Firm intention of returning. There remains one more act to be written. R. F. R. Tli'rnly-xil'
