Our honors of whate’er degree; Our life’s ambitions; and always A little knowledge gleaned, may be, Somewhere among the liberal arts— Such is the way—but in our hearts The old familiar faces. They shine thereafter in the glow That memory throws upon the walls, True friends that do not rise and go, But linger till the Evening falls; For when we cease to hear their names, Still peer as out of silent frames The old familiar faces. The years keep dropping in the Stream The Stream moves noiseless toward the vast, And like the shadow of a dream The Present melts into the Past; But through all changes, year by year, Those silent pictures grow more dear, The old familiar faces.

We admit she is small, but in spite of her stature she can play hockey. You should see her fight for the ball. Also she is one of these fortunate mortals blest with a cheerful disposition. Oil on the troubled waters is always an acceptable attribute in an academic atmosphere. Too bad her training as an editor didn’t come earlier in her career. We hate to waste ability, and some of us haven’t decided how to spell the famous William’s last name, let alone edit his plays. [ 32] 1920 NIKE Atwoop, HELEN MARrGUERITE 26 Buffum St., Salem, Mass.

Next to this gift for entertaining her forte is tea-making. All hail to the little brass tea-kettle! Peg also shines as an athlete. Just ask her whether she learns to swim by just swim- ming or by a correspondence course with our famous tank. She also displays such a fondness for the more cultural side of the academic. _ We should really give a good deal to know how she does it, but as yet she has not published her book entitled, “How To Make Others Think You Do It.” [ 33 | NIKE BakER, KATHARINE Munson 344 Cabot St., Beverly, Mass.

However, her true claims to distinction do not lie along these lines. Ask Katie how it is to have a celebrity in your family. You know Lucy Larcom is her great aunt, and since she taught here, it must be trying at times to have people remember the fact. Katie’s pet pastime did you say? Well, for a guess we would say Brown dances, that is, when her conscience permits. [ 34 | 1920 NIKE Baker, VirGinta Hits 153 Church St., Willimantic, Conn.

Gin doesn’t need to read her lesson; she always recites, and the sad part about it for the rest of us is that she generally says the right thing. In fact, her program of much creative work is the wonder and envy of the lesser lights of the class. We are all looking forward to the day when she will have achieved real fame as an author, so we can say with pride, “Oh! She went to college with me.”’ It is such a grand and glorious feeling to know a real celebrity that we trust Gin won’t stray in matrimonial fields first and disappoint us. Also hadn’t we better get her a new nick-name? A few years from now her present one will be so obsolete. NIKE 1920 Barton, Crecrtia Marie 43 West St., Mansfield, Mass.

Ask her the date of the first Olympiad or Locke’s idea of knowledge. She will always give you the right answer or pretend she does. “She is a grind, then?”’ “T should say not!” “But she always takes a light cut.” “She is reading Ethel M. Dell. She reads ‘The Lamp in the Desert’ Monday night and starts on “The Way of an Eagle’ so she can keep her interest up until Tuesday night. Ethel Dell simply can’t write books fast enough for Murrie.”’ Hark! What is the rumble which disturbs Larcom slumbers? Oh, plenty of time for another nap. It is 6.45 and Murrie is using the carpet sweeper. Neat, we should say so. Also did you ever see her do indoor sports? This does not include swimming.

Glee Club Deutscher Verein Choir Classical Club Psyche Society Literary Editor of Record 3 Class Hockey Team 2, 3, 4 Class Basket Ball Team 4 Florence early became famous in the class as a songstress. To be correct, it was the rendition of the laundry list which gave her this reputation. Next she showed talent as a poetess and has often helped the class compose occasional verses and songs, while her contributions to the college magazine are also frequent. This year she has been more noted for receiving long-distance ’phone calls, generally from Providence. The eighth wonder of the world is a string of pearls she acquired during a season termed Noél by those who desire to show off their French. However, we suppose the German should be used, as Floppie has pursued the language so persistently. Unfortu- nately, we don’t know even that much German. She, doubtless, would be willing to supply the deficiency, since we are told she is not in a class by herself, but in two in that special branch of foreign languages. [ 38 | 1920 to ON.

We would say for a guess that Dottie’s came her first year when Student Government took away her little yellow chicken, but she should have trained it not to peep. We never realized before how much noise one poor chicken makes. Writing seems to be her forte. In her senior year she surely held the record for long papers, but we can’t see that work disturbs her much. She has even volunteered to teach those who really wish to learn the lost art, how to write interesting letters. We know of at least one faculty who has already enrolled. Those who wish to learn how to charm their best beaux might apply too. You never can tell, girls, what a well written letter may ac- complish.

It is my aim in this article to give them advice so that they will receive the most benefit from their college career. My first injunction is ‘“‘be true to thyself.” College is apt to attempt to mould each girl like the preceding one. To guard against this, know your own abilities, and develop them along individualistic lines. Secondly, be mentally alert. Never allow anyone to form your opinions for you. Thirdly, select some one talent and cultivate it. If you have any artistic ability, or creative power, stress it, even though other things are forgotten. Fourthly, be independent. Modernism is the key-note of today. Do not simply fol- low in another’s footsteps but strike out for yourself. If these precepts are followed, much more benefit will be derived from your courses than if you went blindly ahead with no definite plan of action.

Her tears were many when 1918 graduated, but fortunately life is not without its compensations. There is always junior prom. to look forward to. And Dot’s certainly was memorable, for the next week she was displaying what is sometimes termed a sparkler. Since then her interest in the telephone has increased remarkably. What we should really like to know is, how can any one mortal make straight high credit, sew for a “hope chest,’ run student government and several other things too? The cost of printing is so expensive that we absolutely can’t put them ali in without greatly adding to the expense of the book, so you will have to take our word that she is very busy and efficient.

We don’t quite see how college will run without her next year, but we shall have to be of optimistic disposition and hope for the best. She displays a strong interest in psychology and this year has devoted much time to the study of those who are not as their fellow men. We wonder if it is in preparation for teaching or just because she likes it. I suppose her fame this year rests on the singing of carols. It surely was cold but still we didn’t expect her feet to freeze. Fortunately they revived so she could go home. We wouldn’t wish the infirmary on anyone during vacation.

How do they do it, especially when they have a predilection for chemistry as Viola has? However, we don’t expect chemistry to win out in the long run, not with her fondness for the “light fantastic.’”” She may even rival the fair Irene for fame before she has ended. Not unless she shows more discretion though, and is more skillful at avoiding the radiators in the gym. But then, what is a radiator among friends, let’s be frank!

Since founder’s day of her freshman year when she was class marshall, she has remained in the public eye. Sophomore year Ruth achieved fame as class hockey captain. Not so much for being captain, as for managing to get out to practice with the team a few times before seven — A. M. not P. M. She confessed it was a terrible strain and seemed relieved when the season ended. Since then her work as head of Red Cross deserves only praise. She has her serious moments, though we admit that this last year she has become an enthusiastic auction bridge fiend. We are aware that her home town harbors Brown University, that she shows partiality to West Point and the U. S. Army, and who is Andrew? [ 46 | 1920 NIKE Moore, Carrib ELIZABETH Lincoln, N. H.

Will we ever forget our mid-year exam. in that celebrated course?

I know though, that you all understand how impossible it is for me to return. When one does social service work like mine she must sacrifice pleasure to the needs of the community. It has been such a wonderful ten years since I finished. Just to be in New York was sufficient, but then to have work like mine is glorious. We aren’t a settlement house, but more a community gathering where all may share more equally of this world’s goods. If any of you ever come down, do come and see me and learn more about my work. I know it would interest you. You see that I can talk of nothing else. I must confess that the views which I held at college have been intensified, but I know you would agree with me if you lived as I do. Please don’t think me wild or dangerous.

Dates— Still living. II. Life: Born in Boston. Precocious child — spoke Latin at the age of three — could recite the Greek alphabet in early youth —had a predisposition toward English Literature and also a tendency to philosophize before attaining years of discretion — graduated from Girls Latin School and entered Wheaton in 1917 — held positions of prominence during her college career — graduated in 1920. III. Character: Bright and charming conversationalist — noted for her witty dialogue and brilliant repartee—calm and even disposition — great fund of humor — deep and lasting interest in abnormal psychology — habit of classifying friends because of this interest. Melancholy dislike of classical music due to the memory of a tragedy which occurred as Miss Symmes left history of music class during her junior year. IV. Works: A. Psychology of the Soul, 1922. B. Spanish Grammar, 1923. C. Brief Treatise on the Modern Short Story with Special Emphasis on Mrs. Dudeney, 1925. V. Style: Clear — rapid — direct — simple — sincere and from the heart — sometimes grandiloquent — mellifluous at its best.

However, if anyone thinks the name was given to her as belittling her achievements, just read the list. Versatility all over, even to losing her temper and regaining it — not all in the same breath but almost. To look at her one might never suppose she came from Maine, almost in the timber, too, for Bangor is her “‘native heath.” Since “‘the worst will out,’’ we won't even attempt to cover up the fact.

Psyche Cercle Francais If any one wants pointers on indoor sports call at the bookstore and buy either of her latest works. One is entitled “Spigot Tea, or How To Entertain One’s Friends Each After- noon.” ‘The other is called ‘““A Few Tricks For Auction.” This last book tells how to pur- sue the game and at the same time sew or write a few letters; and in addition how to do one’s lessons. As yet her book, “Indoor Sports, or the Best Method of Avoiding Required Exercise,’ is unpublished. Copies will soon be obtainable at a fair profit to the bookstore. All are requested to invest. Not one should be without the book; then think of the worthy cause you are supporting at the same time. Two birds with one stone, as it were. There is a popular myth afloat that Margaret cuts more classes, flits away more week- ends, and does less work than anyone else in college.

The vernacular has been resorted to in some cases but only for the sake of clearer delineation. If now, these simple pen por- traits do not offend and if in the future they help to recall classmates and college days, then our purpose will have been achieved. | 54 | 1920 NIKE Commencement Parts Class of 1920 Welcome Hoodress KATHARINE M.

(Horpinac ror DEGREE) PREFACE Inasmuch as our acquaintance with the abilities and capacities of the class of 1920 together with a knowledge of their learning and remem- bering, mental work and fatigue, and of individual differences and their causes (the author quotes from the beloved manual of the class in Phi- losophy and Education, Thorndike’s “Educational Psychology’’), inasmuch as this has been increased in the past four years, a simple treatment of this subject matter is attempted in the following pages. Certain topics are included which may be over the heads of some of readers because they lack intimacy with the facts, but I make no apology. This is a philo- sophical treatment of a great class, and it is in this manner that the sub- ject is presented. CHAPTER I. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS AND ORIGINAL TENDENCIES OF THE CLASS OF 1920. THE AGE OF ROMANTICISM Education in a very simple form can be seen among the most primi- tive societies. At the stage of evolution in which we find the class of 1920, however, their state was so advanced in the year 1916 that they all were bent on seeking a higher institution of learning to solve some of the deep questions of the universe. It was a happy day on October 3, 1916, when the rosy anticipations of each freshman were allowed to come to full bloom. On account of the infantile paralysis epidemic many students were much perturbed for fear that they would not receive their entire money’s worth in education, but only two weeks were lost, and the rest was returned to the anxious in shortened vacations and double lessons. It seemed but a moment when the hereditary traits of the class began to crop out and all original instincts were repressed or redirected by the class of 1919 in the famous initiations. Who were the poor victims who were thus chastised? I will not record them to public eye, as it was understood that many of the tasks were ‘‘merely a suggestion.”’ 1920 NIKE By December the class was regarded with enough esteem to launch their career with their own officers. The green ribbons with lily of the valley began their four years, with Carolyn H. Bliss, president; Virginia H. Baker, vice-president; Dorothy Gifford, secretary; Elizabeth M. Chase, treasurer; Josephine C. Wicker, cheer leader. This was accomplished, from a subjective viewpoint, in a most secretive manner, the elections having taken place the night previous in the Science Hall Lecture Room with every shade pulled down and every key-hole guarded, while colored skirts over white dresses were guaranteed to avoid suspicion of announce- ment of officers. But from an objective viewpoint the increased bulk of clothing, an air of self-consciousness, and the simultaneous departure of all the freshmen at quarter of eight from the dining-room gave some ex- ternal evidence at least. One historic event, which almost ended tragically, was the famous History I course under Dr. Klein. After numerous long and wearisome trips around the world, a memorial trip to the professor’s house for the purpose of confession made a lasting impression of the course on the minds of all. | We may pass to the next topic, with but a brief mention of theme- writing and long hours spent on such details in Freshman Bible as the number of nails in the ark, Moses’ telephone and what angels eat. The always strong tie between the 1918 sister class began with the wedding ceremony between the two classes. The famous baby-party given to juniors later in the spring has many records in photo-albums. Two tendencies early displayed are of psychological importance and should be noted: 1920 were not especially gifted musically nor were athletics their forte. They were inclined to scholasticism. Further changes and development of these traits are of especial worth in tracing the growth of acquired characteristics. So in June the Class of 1920 parted, to return in the fall in numbers fewer, but those the survival of the fittest. CHAPTER II. ADJUSTMENT TO ENVIRONMENT AND FurRTHER MOopIFICATIONS OF ORIGINAL NATURE. THE AGE OF REALISM The glow of freshman romanticism behind, as sophomores 1920 set their faces toward grim realism. The World War loomed seriously even in college life, and such luxuries as bouquets for class-officers were rigor- ously dispensed with. So the sophomore president, Jane Orcutt; vice- president, Alma Magoon; secretary, Dorothy Clark; treasurer, Carolyn [ 57] NIKE. 1920 Heath; cheer leader, Carolyn Bliss; marched into chapel with pine twigs bearing dollar bills which were later transferred to the Red Cross treasury. Another affair of realistic nature was the problem of the freshmen. Being denied the privilege of true initiation, they were obliged to practise the greatest dignity in the lecture on manners to the freshmen. Adjustment to environment was not quite complete, for “Freshman Barton” brought an unexpected response from the now full-fledged sophomores. | Despite the propaganda concerning one Eng. Lit. I, 1920 battled against it quite successfully. In fact the readings which occurred occa- sionally in the afore-mentioned course were sought after outside the class- room. and readings by Miss Shepard in Cragin Parlor furnished several pleasant evenings. In Chapter I reference was made to the inability of 1920 in the musical and athletic line. As a social group this may have been true, but two individuals wrote a song for the Song Book Contest which very nearly won the prize. And, moreover, in the gym meet the sophomores quite carried off the honors, both as a class and individually. It might be said that although in specialized athletics, as hockey and basket ball, the class of 1920 never carried off first place, their genius lies in the work of the gymnasium. About this time a long-desired wish of the sophomores was granted, that of wearing the insignia of the class of 1918, which they in turn might hand down to their sister class. A farewell party from the seniors and a bacon-bat made 1920 feel that commencement was near at hand and soon they themselves would have the responsibility of sister classhood to the incoming freshmen. Spring nominations and the filling of two offices in an organization with members of 1920 filled us all with a sense of importance. Especially proud was the day when the Director of the Vocational Bureau was elected from the sohphomore class, this office being really a senior privilege. So the age of realism drifts into one of rationalism, and in chapter III further events in the life history will be disclosed. CHAPTER III. TRANSITION EDUCATION AS TRAINING FOR COLLEGE LIFE. HARMONIZATION OF INTEREST AND EFFORT. THE AGE OF RATIONALISM The fall o f 1918 found 1920 divided in body, but not in spirit, into Seventh Heaveners, Larcom Elites, and Tragics. Responsibility began to weigh upon their shoulders, reason supplanted feeling, and many were the problems upon their minds. After all victims had recovered from the “flu,” class elections took place with Viola L. Howard, president; Carrie 1920 mINGe de E. Moore, vice-president; Rebecca Eliot, secretary; Marjorie C. Palmer, treasurer; and Helen Sinsheimer, cheer leader. Let us follow the history of these three divisions. First, the seventh heaveners, who, although ranked as saints and as angels did not subsist wholly on spiritual or intellectual food. Everyone in seventh heaven seemed to have a birthday and many were the parties thereof. For all future revellers in seventh heaven let it be said that birthday parties should always be evening parties and take place at 9.30, never should they be converted into breakfast parties. The rise and fall of the club-room is the reason thereof. Angels sometime fall, so did the Seventh Heaveners sound the depths on occasions and stretch out hands to their sisters in Tragedy Alley, who lived in a big family with Mother Rogers. The Larcom Elite hardly did more than board at Wheaton during the week, for on Fridays they departed for the week-end to be seen no more till Monday morning. Two events for which the Juniors are responsible can in nowise be concealed, for tradition will hand them down to posterity. These two created considerable stir in the college, and nearly caused the decease of both students and president. The first occurred when one night the inmates of Metcalf were aroused from slumber by a strong odor like unto smoke, and torn by a presentiment that they might not live to graduate from Wheaton they rushed madly from their rooms. No smoke filled the halls, no flames issued forth from any room. United search at last traced the offending odor to Peg Wiley’s room where she lay in sleep with her new hair tonic. The second, was of a different nature. The culprit, we may say, is not of a malicious or pugnacious disposition, and the deed should be regarded in the light of her past character and her environment. I refer to the time when Edith Symmes hit Dr. Cole with the swinging door in Mary Lyon. It is a blot on her life, but time perhaps will erase: it and some day she can live it down. The only matter which is of further importance is the all-absorbing affair of Junior Prom, the thrill that comes once in a lifetime. It was probably like all other proms, but never could one equal that of the class of 1920. N. B. Bad weather as usual; Dot Gifford became engaged. The long-looked-for day of election to senior offices came in the spring, and we hope that Wheaton has felt it has been the better for 1920’s being here. | It would be a grave omission to slide over the delight with which 1920 welcomed the lectures in Business Law. Every member of the class departed with a renewed interest in Ford cars and pianos, and those old friends, A and B, who kept exchanging and shuffling them around. With this height in rationalization, let us leave our friends to be continued in our next. NIKE. 1920 CHAPTER IV. PreRIoD OF GRADUAL ENLIGHTENMENT —GROWTH IN PoLiticaAL PowrEr. THE AGE OF IDEALISM In the higher stages in the development of the mind of man, when the story of his life becomes the story of the development of his thought, the history is rather hard to describe. So it is with the senior year of the class of 1920, most of the members having taken to heart the words of our superiors — that we come to college, first of all to become scholars. The mysteries of philosophy and education by some students and the deep research along scientific lines by others show the height of their mental development. With the new people in office, in spite of the belief of every outgoing senior class that no one can quite fill adequately the positions which they filled, all organizations seemed to flourish. The dignified senior officers are Katharine M. Baker, president; Margaret Wiley, vice-president; Anna L. Boutelle, secretary; Marguerite Atwood, treasurer; Helen J. Sinsheimer, cheer leader. But an old decree of fate, handed down the critics think from the sister class of 1918, which made bad weather for all important occasions, as for example, Junior Prom, Class Day, etc., seemed to come to its full height during the last year of 1920. The worst winter for half a century settled down upon them, and, with an epidemic of “flu’’ in surrounding towns, kept them close at home. The only means of escape was to break one’s glasses or possess a tooth which had to be extracted — and few were the fortunate ones to fulfill these conditions. A few personal changes should not be withheld from mention. Cer- tain seniors found Providence a charm ing city to visit and became especially interested in that famous college, Brown University. Others showed a disposition toward Household Arts and at four in the afternoon samples of spigot tea and handcraft articles, which mainly were hemstitched, could be seen in every possible place on exhibition. This year the seniors reached the highwater mark in their music. Regardless of precedent, and owing to the never-tiring efforts of the cheer leader, aided by fines, the class of 1920 sang boldly and lustily all the Christ- mas carols from memory. Thorough knowledge of a subject is an aim and the seniors have be- come thoroughly acquainted with Larcom Parlor, having met there for long and hot class-meetings on the average of once or twice a week, 9.15 is especially reserved for these debates. So 1920 is about to leave the walls of its Alma Mater, but it is with a purpose of being staunch alumnae, ready always to accost any millionaire for a new dormitory and a new library — it is with this thought in mind that they leave Wheaton College.

D. 2022 All Wheaton students are interested in the early history of the in- stitution. Among the first classes to be graduated from Wheaton as a college was that of 1921. The Record has recently received from a de- scendant of one of the members of this class a quaint document, evidently a leaf from the class reminiscences. The value of the document lies in the charming and intimate picture it presents not alone of the lives of those who were famous women in their day but also of the loyalty of the members to their class, a loyalty which was second only to their devotion to the ideals of their Alma Mater. Aboute some 12 months after they hade hade given to them ye certificates of lerning, and were graduated from Wheaton College, ye members of the classe of 1921 once againe met together, being returned to Wheaton for ye first reunion. Rumers of disatisfaction were rife amonge them concerning ye awful separation one freind from another, and ye un- godly ways of the world into which they hade beene so suddeinlie plunged. This did muche trouble them, and they tooke it into serious deliberation and founde upon examinasion othere evidence to give lite hearunto, too longe here to relate. In ye mean time certain cheefe of them broughte forward ye novell plane. All hade beene nurtured in ye love of solitude and lacke of comunicasion withe ye outer world, in ye little New England towne of Norton. Having also a grete reverence for ther Puritan ancestors they planned then to leave the waies of ther oppresion and found themselves a setlement in ye mountin wildes, wher they mighte make unto ye poor people of ye mountins some grete helpe, and live a life after ther owne beliefs and convictions. After ye same reason, adopted they the particular simp] speling of ther estimed ancestors, whil for garbe dressed they in a spetiall plaine garment of ye Wheaton blue. Being thus constrained to leave ther nativ soyle and countrie, ther lande and livings, and all ther freinds and familiar acquaintances, it was much, and thought marvelous by many. But to goe into a countrie they knew not (but by hearsay) wher they must learn ye new waies and get ther livings they knew not how, it being a dear place and subject to ye miseries and hardships, it was by some thought an adventure almost desperate. But ye brav and fearles ones were naither at all daunted nor discouraged. Signd SaLLoM Downs. Ye Whea-topia Towne Gathering Aboute Ye Later Ende of June 1924. Ye seconde hapie year in Whea-topia hath come to an ende and ye honorable founders holde another gathering to deliberate on ye public affaires. Ye august governeur, Barbare Howe, presideth and speaketh withe grete dignitie, ‘‘Freinds, Cuntrimen and Neighbors, I salut you, and wish you all healthe and hapinesse ....” All ye citizens reporte ther welfare of the year. Ye Justis of ye Peace, Elisabethe Halle, hath enforsed ye juste and equall lawes, ordinances, actes, covenants, and constitutions from time to time as thought moste meete and convenient for ye generall goode of ye civill bodie politick. Ye Sherif, Wilemaie Turnr, a loial member of 1921 in spirite and bounde to theme by ye bondes of lov, reporteth a year of no grete troubles. Sundrie othere things of her report I pass over being [ 69 ] NIKE 1920 tedious and impertinent and needles in everie particuler. One infracsion of note I will put down here. ‘Trouble was hade for a litle in persuading one of our esteemed nomber, Francess Spensere, who doth all the sewing for the Whea-topians, that she like the rest of us muste weare the blue dress, she being not willing to discarde her favorit “Brown.” Because of ye profitable year ye Collecter, Marien Lordd, accounteth much monies in ye treasury. Ye Towne Crier, Mirandde Brookes, having hade muche newes to declair lustilie, was incapacitated to rede her reporte. Ye Post-Mistress, Elinore Genthnr, doth much business withe severall leters, whiche she findeth more than usuall of late. Ye pompous Store-Master, Elizbet Noris, hath managed with muche care and forsite ye Pratte Emporium; in whiche dutie she hath beene muche ablei asisted by ye merchante of Forin Exchang, Margeritt Ridlonne. ‘“‘Ye Whea-topia Sunn” hath beene creditiblie edited by Janne Orcut eache day regulairlie (except first day), with soch muche assistance as aford- eth ye readie witt of Margerite Sawier, ye Joke Editer. Ye Merrie Lion Inn (in memorie of ye Wheaton Spa) doth aford a happie gathering plase under the mangement of ye joviell Inkeper, Franses Car, and ye daintie waitres, Alise Padelfordd. Othere amusments hath beene provided by ye cleverlie aranged theatricals of ye Mistress Bathiahe Wattermann. Ye pretie landscape hath beene imortalised by ye artiste, Helenne Lewes. Ye authoresse, Constanse Browne, hath juste completed a most pleasing novell of ye life in Whea-topia. Few hath beene at all infected aither withe sicknes or lamnes, do to the sientifick labors of ye lerned Doctor, Isabel Wilder. Ye devosional life hath beene well guided by ye illustrious Parson, Dorothie Newten, withe ye faithfull Organiste, Elenore Cofrann, to helpe with ye weeklie servises, wherat ye Tithing Master, Dorothie Colins, hath beene some litle busie to keep ye stupid folks awake. Mistress Anie Wiliams hath done muche diligent servise wthal the nereby mountiners, manie of whom she hath gathered to ye edifice of educasion “Lucie Larcome.’’ Here muche lerning is guven out by ye eruditious instructors, Ruthie Tiler, and Margaret Barton; and ye harmonius Wheaton songs are practised under ye talented Singing-teacher, Alise Olliver. One conflagrasion hath threatened ye house of Mistres Chestinna Reddman, which ye Cheefe of Fire Brigade, Dorothie Morgen, alwaies in readynes, hath putt out withe litle dificultie, the onlie damage being that done by ye watter to ye garden of Mistres Reddman, wher she doth grow as a consolasion for ye long- ing for ye world, which she at times doth feele, ye batchelder buttons and ye purple violets. SALLOM Downs, Ye Keeper of ye Town Records as wel as all ye doings of ye Whea-topians. The next entry made in the memoirs, evidently several years later, is not complete, a page having been lost. The extant portion gives the reader a glimpse into a new era in the history of Whea-topia. The frag- ment here reproduced is evidently only a short extract from the thrilling story of the invasion of the quiet little village by certain rebellious males, which we know, from history, to have culminated in a reorganization of Whea-topia under new conditions of government but with no damper to the ardor with which the inhabitants carried on their work of uplifting the community in which they had chosen to make their settlement, thus spreading their fame in the world and leaving to all ages an example of admirable courage and persistence. . ... But about midnight, they heard a hideous and grete crie, and ther sentinell caled, “Arme arme’’; and they bestired them and shote of a cupple of moskets, and then the noys seased. They concluded it was a companie of wolves, or such willd beasts. So they rested till aboute [ 70 ] 1920 NIKE 5 of ye clocke in the morning, when presentlie, all on ye sudain, they heard a grete crie, which they knew to be ye same voyces they heard in ye night, though they varied their notes, and one of their companie being abroad came runing up and cried, in here excitment faling from here adopted langwedge, ‘““The men, the men! They come!” Wherupon alle ye Whea-topians huried to the top of ye litle bluffe. Thene saw they ye strange site, a motlie thronge of malles in strang arraie and with provisions and othere impliments for to begine anothere settlement for th... . It is to be regretted that the rest of the account has not been pre- served, but leaves to the reader’s imagination the description of that “motlie thronge,”’ and of the well-known means by which they captivated the inhabitants. The fall of Wheatopia, as will be remembered from his- tory, was not a defeat, but rather a victory for the Wheatopians. The adventure had proved to their own satisfaction the justice of their cause: and finally even those who had at first scorned their undertaking, now humbly admitted its success, and desired to join with them in the realiza- tion of their motto — ‘‘Ad astra per ardua.”’ [71] NIKE, 1920 “Extract from Annual Report of ‘President Cole Published March, 1920 Wheaton College is the only small separate college for women in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; indeed, I might almost say, in the whole of New England. The small college, be it remembered, is not a vest- pocket edition of the large college: it has an atmosphere of its own; there are differences in kind. The unit in the English educational system is the small college, and without the small college our own educational system would be singularly incomplete. Wheaton is also the only college of any kind that exists, or that ever has existed, in the territory once controlled by the Pilgrim Fathers and historically known as the Old Colony. One of its aims is to help conserve what is best in the Pilgrim tradition — best for progress in character, culture, citizenship, democracy, and service. Wheaton has already a history of distinguished service — first as a pioneer school in the education of women and as a seminary, then as a college preparatory school with advanced courses going two years beyond, and finally, since 1912, as a regular college. It has shown what it can do. The college has “made good.” The courses of instruction in the college are planned to give a woman the knowledge, insight, breadth of view, efficiency, and moral direction that will help her to success in any calling in which she may engage, and at the same time we rank a career in the home as inferior to no other career on earth. Wheaton College believes in a practical idealism, after the manner of the ancient Greeks, and in all things holds to its motto, ““That they may have life and may have it abundantly.’”’ On this platform the college has grown and prospered.

It is a small class, but a memorable one, for the various members have taken part in all our college activities. There is Jean, who is so efficient a member of the Student Government Board, and so zealous a supporter of the Anti- Fat Club; and there is Phyllis, who stars in dramatics, though she misses her cue in coming to meals; and there is Charlotte, who can entertain equally well at Devens or in Metcalf drawing-room; and there is Katharine, better known as Mike, who is always cast for the fairy roles, though they say her guileless expression does not deceive her classmates; and there is Hazel, so fond of other people’s flowers, who, by winning the Gym Meet, Freshman year, set an example for Phyllis to follow; and last, though by no means least, there is Beulah of the cheerful disposition. We also think of Marjory as one of the class though her long illness has made it impossible for her to graduate with the rest.

Faculty Hdvisors PRESIDENT COLE Dean EVERETT [ 90 | 1920 NIKE Che Student Government Kessoctation The year 1919-1920 has been a satisfactory one for the Student Gov- ernment Association in the various lines of work which fall under its direction. The usual fall dance was held on Saturday evening, September 27th, in the gymnasium; this dance following the Y. W. C. A. welcome party of the week before helped to advance the friendship between the old girls and the freshmen. Jn December the Musical Club of Brown Univer- sity gave a concert under the auspices of the Student Government Associa- tion. The program was an unusually good one since there was a pleasing variety in the numbers. An hour of dancing followed the concert. Every- one enjoyed the evening as there had been no similar entertainment for. several years. Just before the Christmas vacation all those who could brave the cold sang carols and class songs around the Christmas tree which was placed between Chapin Hall and the Post Office. This custom [91] NIK E’ 1920 is one of the pleasantest at Wheaton, occurring in one of our favorite seasons when the true spirit of friendliness is aroused. The only big social event of the Student Government Association, the midyear dance, had to be omitted this year on account of the prevalence of influenza around Norton. Everyone was willing, however, to take this precaution against an epidemic so alarming. Financially the Association is unusually well off. On account of the large freshman class more dues have been received than ever before, and the expenses have not been heavy. For this reason the Association will doubtless be able to send more delegates to Silver Bay in June. The aims of the Association have been high this year. Wheaton has become a member of the Women’s Intercollegiate Association for Student Government, which entitles our college to all the privileges and prerogatives of the national association. The president and vice-president of the organization were sent as delegates to the conference of the Intercollegiate Association held at Wilson College, in November. These delegates brought back many suggestions from other colleges, some of which are now being worked out at Wheaton. Throughout the past year a spirit of loyalty and of honor has marked the attitude of the girls in their support of the work of the Board and in the years to come it will be the aim of the organization to increase this spirit and to deepen the feeling of responsibility on the part of every student.

Boprisu, ’22 [ 93 ] President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer NIK E’ 1920 Che Athletic Hssociation The Athletic Association during the year 1919-1920 has had splendid success, due to the splendid executive a bility of its president, the co-opera- tion of the students, and the absence of influenza. A tennis tournament opened the season, and the freshmen especially showed good sportsmanship. Jean Barber, A’20, won. Hikes were organ- ized and hockey was started. Very soon class teams were chosen, and during the cold, snappy days before Thanksgiving, the interclass series was played off, and won by the junior team. Immediately, the varsity squad was picked, and after stiff training and hard work, the team was selected. Then, during November, we enjoyed playing three games with Radcliffe, Sargent, and Wheaton Alumnae. Though defeated, we were glad to have had the chance to meet them, and we look forward to playing as exciting games next year. | On November 1, 1919, the Athletic Association gave a Halloween Party. It began when all the college appeared in costumes for dinner in the dining-room. Here the tables were decorated in various ways and the motley groups which marched up and down the dining-room were truly characteristic of the day. Large black cats with their Mistress Witch, and pirates brandishing wicked knives served to rouse feelings of various degrees of nervousness in the spectators. After much consideration, which involved the tossing up of a penny, the judges decided that Miss Wallis’ table, which represented Mr. Dorety and his potatoes, deserved the prize. All the tables were so attractive that it was difficult to make a de- cision. After dinner, fancy costumes were abandoned for more serviceable ones, and all went to the gym. This was transformed into an eerie place, with dimmed lights, grinning Jack O’Lanterns, rattling corn-stalks, and a glowing cauldron, where ghost met ghost with weird, depressing groans. The Bridge of Sighs heard many a sigh, which ended in merry shrieks after the stunts at the other end had been enjoyed. Then everyone visited the Chamber of Horrors, which was quite new and terrifying to many. Finally after snatching doughnuts, and drinking cider from the Magic Well, we gathered to listen to a ghost story read by Dean Everett. Frosts came, and many a snow-storm made coasting and snowshoeing the favorite sports. Basket-ball practise claimed many. Finally, class teams were chosen, and usually enthusiastic cheering sections made the gym re-echo as the tournament progressed. The series was won by the sopho- more team. On February 21, 1920, the Athletic Association arranged a masquerade. The gym was trimmed with red, white, and blue decorations. A pictur- esque party gathered for dancing and the Grand March, during which the [ 94 | 1920 NIKE Che Hthletic Hssoctatton—Continued judges, Miss Croff, Mrs. West, and Mr. Howe, picked out the best couple. The prize was awarded to “‘A Musical Pair,’’ who were clad in cleverly made crepe paper costumes. Later, three members of the class of 1923 presented a one-act play, ‘““Washington’s First Defeat.’’ This was based on a real incident in the life of Washington, and the performance was heartily enjoyed. Candy kisses were showered from the balconies, and the party ended with laughter and merriment. The Varsity Basket Ball enjoyed its outside games, one of which was with the Wheaton Alumnae. On March 13, 1920, a very interesting and successful Vaudeville was presented. The Gym Meet, on March 20, 1920, was very interesting. After this, the spring sports of base-ball, soccer, and tennis began, and we realized that the end of a happy year was at hand. 7 [ 95 | NIKE 19 Varsity THockey Team Mary W.

W. C. A., her personal responsibility in promoting an earnest Christian life among the students of the college. At the Welcome Party which was given in September, everyone made a good start toward getting acquainted with the many new girls and in making them feel at home in college life. The House Party of the Cabinet, held at Pandaneram, Mass., over the week-end of October 4, was indeed an enjoyable event. The girls went hiking, swimming, rowing, had a glorious bacon-bat, and sat down to meals even more wonderful than Dom. Sci. Lab. affords. Miss Mary Weisel, a Y. W. C. A. secretary from New York, had charge of the meet- ings and in them she tried to help the girls think deeply about their re- ligious life and their attitude toward the Bible and the Church. Various plans for the year’s work were made, and the Cabinet returned to the college feeling that the House Party had been well worth while. As it was not possible to have the usual Christmas Fair this year a more elaborate and entertaining Easter Bazaar took its place. To the Practical Aid Committee we are indebted for a neat and well-systematized student bulletin board. The days of searching vainly for new posters among a varied array of week-old notices are at an end. Throughout the year there have been occasional outside speakers here at College, among whom Dr. Alden Clark of India, speaking for the Inter-Church World Movement, was the most influential and inspiring. It is difficult to say whether the student leader, the faculty leaders, or the outside speakers have been the most appreciated at our Wednesday even- ing meetings. The subjects have included Christian Service, current topics, inspirational meetings and an occasional song service, and every one of them has been well attended. One reason for the large attendance may have been the fine musical programs, and still another cause may have been the series of attractive and original posters which have served to call our attention to the meetings. Wheaton as a College, sent two delegates, Carolyn S. Heath, °20, and Annie M. Williams, ’21, to the great convention of the Student Volun- teer Movement in Des Moines, Iowa. There eight thousand delegates from virtually all over the world met to consider problems facing the Christian world of to-day. [ 108 ] 1920 NIKE The Woung Women’s Christian Association —Continued The success of the Christian Association this year has been largely _due to the helpful attitude of those students who went to Silver Bay- on-Lake George in 1919. It was a larger delegation than ever before and it represented Wheaton well in all parts of the Conference. The delegates resolved to bring their enthusiasm and inspiration back here, and to try to create the spirit of Silver Bay on the Wheaton campus.

In the fall the membership drive carried on so effectively by Margaret Ridlon resulted in one hundred and seventy-one girls becoming members of the organization. Miss Tuttle, the organizing secretary of the Intercollegiate Com- munity Service Association, came out to Wheaton on October first and made many helpful suggestions, which have been carried out with grat- ifying results. The outside speakers for the I. C. 5S. A. have been Miss Helen Bar- rows of the South End House, Miss Rose Trainor from the Commission for the Blind of Massachusetts, and Miss Coolidge and Miss Tuttle of Denison House. Beside these speakers we have had “‘experience meet- ings’ where volunteer workers in the college have spoken of the work which they have done in Norton and in the surrounding towns. To raise money the Annual Circus was held in November, which was most enthusiastically attended. With the proceeds Thanksgiving baskets of meat and vegetables were carried to three poor families of Norton and fruit and flowers were taken to the “shut-ins.” At Christ- mas time fourteen children were fitted out with mittens, stockings, hand- kerchiefs, hair-ribbons, and other necessities. A contribution of $17.17 was sent as a Christmas gift to the War Children’s Relief Fund and $15.00 to Denison House. A subscription to a magazine was given to one of the Norton “‘shut-ins.”’ On December third a trip was organized to visit the Canton Hospital for Crippled Children. Eight girls and two members of the faculty re- ported a most interesting and profitable afternoon. From time to time entertainments have been taken to the Girls’ Club in Attleboro, the Neighborhood House in Dodgeville, and the Attle- boro Sanitarium. All of these have brought pleasure to their audiences.

Brewer of Harvard University at a conference held at Cornell University this year, said: ‘Vocational guidance ought to make culture richer and more permeate d with practical values.’’ With this as an ideal, as an ambition, the Bureau of Vocational Opportunities has carried on its work this year. Its program has been educational as well as practical. The Bureau aims to bring clearly before the minds of the students the ideal of service to the world. Rather than giving them direct guid- ance it aims to prepare the students for vocational self-guidance. If the college woman is to be regarded as a leader, she must be familiar with modern problems, and this sympathy must be developed while she is in college. Following out this idea the Bureau has placed various forms of information before the students which will enable them to understand more readily the modern questions, and to recognize the situations in which their services will be most valuable. This year we have had Miss Emma P. Hirth, of the New York Bureau of Vocational Information; Miss Catherine Filene, our adviser, who met the two lower classes and conducted a discussion for the purpose of ex- plaining to them the need for and the value of vocational guidance; Miss Ida Cannon, Director of the Department of Medical Social Service in the Massachusetts General Hospital, gave an informal talk on Medical Social Service; Mr. Robert LaBarron of the A. D. Little Co., Industrial Chemists, conducted a round table talk on ““The Opportunities for Women in Industrial Chemistry.” We have planned for visits to social settlements, department stores, and industrial plants. These visits were made with the purpose of making a survey of the opportunities for college women in these three different lines of industry. [113] Wheaton Record Lditorial Stat Epita F.

Carr, ’21 Secretary and Treasurer Because of the ending of the war, and the resulting decrease in the demand for knitted goods, the Red Cross Committee has been less active this year than previously. One hundred and eighty students joined during the drive for membership, and the remainder became members in their own cities or towns. At this time a donation of money was made to the Attleboro Chapter of the Red Cross with which the Wheaton branch has been affiliated for two years. One Sunday evening during the Fall term a lecture on the Red Cross _ work in Europe was read by Miss Kelly, and illustrated by lantern slides. On March second Mr. and Mrs. Renton from Belgium kindly gave an informal talk on the conditions in Belgium during the war and since the armistice. They brought with them some exceptionally interesting souvenirs. [115] NIKE 1920 Che Psyche Society Officers JANE Orcutt, ’21 President C.

PALMrErR, ’20 Treasurer | 116 } 1920 NIKE Che Psyche Society ey, (Nam The Psyche Society first came into existence in the year 1881 under the leadership of Miss Lucy Larcom, the well-known author, who was for some years connected with Wheaton Seminary. A carefully cherished tradition of early days, the organization still embodies the ideals of its founder. [ts aim is the earnest study of the best literature which shall serve as a common purpose for attaining in individual life those ideals for which “Psyche”’ stands. During the year 1919-20 a study has been made of the literature of the present day, including the drama, the short story, and the novel. The first two meetings were led by Miss Grace F. Shepard who gave a brief survey of modern drama, showing the chief tendencies at the present time. Miss Grace A. Croff had charge of the following meetings which dealt with the short story. The Society has had in addition two lectures which were open to the college as a whole. Professor Dallas Lore Sharp of Boston University gave a most interesting lecture on the short story and thus summed up the study made by the Psyche members. Members Marion ABBOTT EvizaABetuH B.

Vol. 47-11 AN ACCOUNT OF THE RECENT RUSH TO THE INN-NEAR-THE-CAMPUS AST Saturday afternoon all those who were here for the week-end wit- nessed the great rush of the entire popu- lace to the city square. The numbers were so swelled by continued arrivals that the city’s police force had to be summoned. What was the occasion? you ask. You see, the proprietor had to get trade in some way, so he advertised that he would give away birds (no less); yes, actually a swallow with every drink. It was well nigh on to four bells before the crowd could be brought to order, and such timid ones as Padge Phillips and Dos Town- send, who had waited all the afternoon for their turns, could be served. FICTION OF THE DAY “PHILOSOPHY OF STYLE” F. SPENCER Miss Spencer’s volume is one of the most satisfactory discussions that has NORTON, MASS., 1920 133 No. 007 been given to the world by any connois- seur on clothes. The chapters on how to wear goloshes becomingly are delight- ful. “THROUGH THE LOOKING-GLASS” MICHAEL MANN A most absorbing tale. After sailing over the buck, the heroine’s momentum carries her swiftly over the mat and through the mirror (paid for by the stu- dents at $.10 per caput). Every one should read this dashing novel for its local color. 2x2=4, Cloth $2 per yard. “HELD TO ANSWER” Betty YOUNG A thrilling story told in the author’s own sweet, simple way, full of dramatic situations. Here is answered the much- debated question, “How to breathe.” Miss Young claims that one should exhale and inhale. YE LAUGHING STOCK “WHAT I THINK OF STUDENT GOV- ERNMENT” Personal views of a budding Radical, by J .M. Hucues. “MUSIC OF THE WILD” W. E. HoLLeERWELL The author gives the first intimate sketch of the junior meetings ever pub- lished. At the end of each volume—of which there are 54—is an exact reproduc- tion of several of their many ballads. Crowned 8 x. Nets, 3 for 25. “HOW TO CATCH A TRAIN” A compilation of expositions by Coombs, Wilder, and Kingman. Here are found clear instructions for the lost art which convinces one that the method of capture by the usual bait and net is old- fashioned. Complete knowledge of the evolution as well as of the habits of the race is the modern method of approach. No student’s room should be without a copy. SEMPRONIOUS 134 REVIEW OF THE STAGE “FESTINA LENTE” Featuring our Register, Merle the Warden, and the inmates of the hall called Metcalf. Synapse of what expires pervious to the uplift of the red velvet with the gold fringe: Due to the usual abnormality of the bells, five loud clangs peal forth on a Sabbath evening in the above-mentioned hall. Such a number usually means a fire drill, but, of course, this would not be the case on the Sabbath. The scene takes place on the front stairs of Metcalf with view to the Drawing Room where Dot S. G. P. Gifford sits with her caller comfortably incarcerated on a richly upholstered dado. A hos t of Freshmen enter above and are seen to circulate down the stairway with great elasticity—general remarks slope to the opinion that it is an ungainly hour for a fire-drill. Merle, the Warden, observes the aston- ished onlookers in the drawing-room but bravely calls the role. Laughter heard above—it is the Register. All manifest realization of erroneous activity, and use their organs of terrestrial locomotion to effect a retreat. Highly amusing, and well acted. Cos- tumes by Gum. “WEDDING BELLS” With Beckie Eliot and Chestina Red- man. A melodrama usually well done. “PEP” A livening drama of local hills and speedy coasters, featuring the unusual ac- complishment of rising for outdoor sports before breakfast. YE LAUGHING STOCK “COLLARED CALLERS” Large all-star cast. First scene laid on the trolley car, second in Metcalf parlor, and third in the College Pines. PEOPLE OF NOTE FOREWORD If it is found that any of the following material is not easily understandable, the obscure points may be explained on ap- plying to M. Sawyer or her new assistant, K. Crehore, at the usual office hours. AT BREAKFAST Miss Otis (thinking of having another cup): “Is the coffee giving out?” Mag Mayer (busily pouring) : I’m giving it out now.” “Yes, When Anne says that she “can hold her hardly eyes open,” we believe her. 135 WHOLLY TRUE Nutt (on train for first time without parents): “Why did the conductor cut a hole in my ticket?” Nutter: “Why, to let you through, of course.” And that didn’t seem to end it. Dr. Cole in vespers the other night told about a friend who went to Europe, “and on the steamer he fell in with some Ger- mans.” ART There is so much Grace in the friezes. Freshman Phinney has the right idea when she says the conversational form consists of two people and an idea. BLASE Pill: “Those lectures just go in one ear and out the other.” Piller: “Too bad there’s nothing to stop them.” PUZZLED Margo: “I don’t see why Dr. Conro has to say both M.D. and Dr. on this bill.” They: “Why don’t you get some new jokes for your year book?” We: “What is the matter with the one we've been using?” WHY, OF COURSE! Bula: “Why does a small cavity seem so large to the tongue?” Eula: “Just the natural tendency of your tongue to exaggerate, I suppose.” YE LAUGHING STOCK WAND DRILL To be done in three counts 1. Place the head in the floor, extend right foot to touch step position in mid- air just above the left shoulder of the person behind, place left foot firmly be- tween the shoulder blades, balance the wand gracefully on the forefinger of the right hand. Hold the right arm steadily in the apoxyomenitic position. 2. With quick change bring the body to sitting position, face back of the gym, cross wands with the person at the left while repeating names of the cranial nerves between the teeth. 3. On the next count take positions 1 and 2 alternately. Three’s and four’s go right and one’s and two’s get left. Keep shoulders all the while moving as in shim- mitic action. These “directions are declared to be faultless as those used by the reducers of 3rd floor Cragin. | LA A OU 136 SOUNDED LIKE PHYSIOLOGY The class in History IX. was puzzled to perplexity to hear a description of the eyes (aye’s) and nose (no’s) of the par- liamentarians.

They had to grant her that. “A Junior Prom.,” the Seniors said, “Is what we clearly need, The dropping of the midyear dance Has made us sad indeed— The Soph’mores held their Soph’more hop In that they have the lead.” “Why pick on us,” the Freshman cried, Turning a little blue. “Anticipation’s all we’ve had.” (That fact was all too true.) “T’m not to blame,” Dean Everett said, “T can’t prevent the ‘flu.’ “It was so kind of you to come! Though I have not been nice.” The students answered nothing, but, “Don’t you slip on the ice. We only wish you’d change your mind.

The bride was Elizabeth Savage, president of the Freshman class, and Barbara Howe, president of the Junior class, took the part of the groom. The ceremony, which was symbolic of the union between the two classes was performed by Dean Sherwood, as clergyman, and the bride was es- corted by Ruth Tyler, who took the part of her father. Alice Padelford acting as ring bearer headed the procession, and was followed by Margaret Ridlon and Anne Williams as flower girls. Dorothy Collins was the bride’s mother. The bestman was Dorothy Morgan, and the maid of honor was Alice Oliver. The remainder of the class came as groomsmen and brides- maids.

Gathered from the distant waterfalls or generated by the steam turbine, electric power is transmitted to the busiest city or the smallest country place. Through the co-ordination of inventive genius with engineering and manufacturing resources, the General Electric Company has fostered and developed to a high state of perfection these and numerous other applications. And so electricity, scarcely olderthan the grad- uate of today, appears in a practical, well de- veloped service on every hand. Recognize its power, study its applications to your life’s work, and utilize it to the utmost for the benefit of all mankind.
