Hence, in answer to the well-known question, ‘‘Miss Aldrich, Miss Aldrich! Where are you? Where are you?” we now state that senorita Poppy has retired to Wheatopia with the purpose of trans ating Shakespeare’s complete works into her adopted tongue. ‘“‘Eloise’’ has been much saddened by the necessity of resigning from the Wheatopia All Saints Choir be- cause of her habit of lightning translation, thus rendering the hymns unintelligible to the congregation. She and Lena have re- solved to establish one for themselves. The requirements for membership will be— 1. Linguistic ability. 2. Nice curly hair. 3. Ability to produce at least six good-look- ing Harvard men for dancing purposes. AUSTIN, MAUDE NEWELL Subscription Manager Record 4 Psyche Glee Club Maudie had a terrible time letting her hair grow for the occasion, she did so want to cut it that every pair of shears actually fascinated her. However, here she is on the Island of Wheatopia, competently managing the largest book store. She is always acquainted with every book wanted, and from her Compara- tive Lit. course gained such knowledge that she can recite the table of contents of all books over six hundred pages in length. “Of course,’ says Maude, “I do enjoy sell- ing books, but these cards are my delight.” Then she displays a unique line of greeting cards for roommates and roommates’ friends, and a special brand known as the ‘Willie Kards.” No matter what her customers want, Maude is always tactful and helpful, and her patience equals that of Job. If you don’t believe the possibility of this time- honored metaphor, ask any Wheatonians who worked under Maude’s gentle regime in the Household Ec. Lab. of yore. 30 NIKE 1923 AVERY, MILDRED LEIGHTON BAKER, FLORENCE KATHERINE “Mike” “‘Lossie”’ Leader of Tennis 4 President Athletic Association 4 May Day Committee 4 Vice-President Athletic Association 3 Endowment Campaign Committee 4 Treasurer Athletic Association 2 President Wheaton Red Cross Life Sav- Student Council 3, 4 ing Corps 3 Nea @uNe @alines Secretary Athletic Association 3 Silver Bay Delegate 1 Art Editor Nike 3 Maqua Delegate 3 Assistant Editor News 3 Varsity Hockey 4 Athletic Editor Record 2 Class Hockey 4 Vice-President Studio Club 2 Varsity Basketball 3 Assistant Editor Parrot 2 Class Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4—Captain 1, 4 Fire Captain 4 Class Baseball Silver Bay Delegation 1 f Spanish Club 3, 4—President 3 Varsity Hockey 1, 2, 3, 4—Captain 4 ClasticalClak Class Hockey 1, 2, 8, 4—Captain 4 CicaCian Varsity Basketball 4 i Class Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4 oo Class Baseball 1, 2, 4 Studio Club Winner Tennis Doubles 1 - Class Marshall 2 a4 Winner Tennis Doubles and Singles 2, 3, 4 Oh, hello, Mother!

Cabinet 2, 3 Psyche 2, 3, 4—Secretary 3 Cercle Frangais Choir Agora Marietta loved every single thing about Wheaton except its pork and corned beef— she did think that there was a trifle too much of that. Hence, some of her favorite Wheat- opian forums take the form of food-value dis- cussions, and Marietta claims that the gay and esthetic decoration of carrots and beets by no means obliterates what lies underneath. However, she learned no such thing as this in either her government or art courses. Also, since it was the one great grief of Marietta’s youth that she never had a nick- name, she goes about distributing pseudonyms. This is done as an act of kindness and mercy, but some of the citizens have failed to see it as such, and once or twice Marietta has nar- rowly escaped a lawsuit. Evidently some of the inhabitants do not possess what Marietta considers to be the piéce de résistance if one would get along with one’s neighbor—a sense of humor. We know that Marietta has al- ways had it in great abundance.

This will be done in opposition to the League for Making Movies Compulsory, which is headed by Dorothy Loring. Doris will continue to be president of dramatics, for the Wheatopians will never be able to find one more competent. When the society is firmly rooted in the soil of all New Mania, Doris may study dramatics and go abroad. We wonder if she will take Little Willie?

Lucia seems to have a predilection for high places! She has a great faculty for seeing the funny side of things, even when she is umpire in Baseball. She will organize an All-Star Baseball team in Wheatopia, consisting only of those girls who can gracefully yet rapidly step in front of the approaching ball, thus being hit, and thereby gaining first base in peace and safety. While at Wheaton, Lu played hockey and took Household Ec. with equal ability and enthusiasm. We're glad for the Wheatopians that Lucia is going with them, for we’re sure that she will be a promi- nent figure in the community.

A note of thanks from Wheaton College. We thank you, Merle, Firstly, for your shining example in gym! And For singing to us when we asked. For directing our choir. For censoring our entertainments, so they would offend not. For taking part in most of them. For working with a will to give us the best plays possible, put on as well as possible. 1923 NIKE 33 BROOKS, RACHEL Cleat House Chairman 3_ Y. W. C. A. Cabinet Glee Club—President 3 Choir Studio Club Psyche . Business Manager Handbook 4 The Wheatopians feel very proud to think that one of their number has produced such a popular book as ‘“‘Observations on Compara- tive Values.’’ For the benefit of any who are not acquainted with it, we give the following resumé: Chapters 1 to 10. My roommate as com- pared to all other roommates. Deduction: She is incomparable. Chapters 11 and 12. Intelligence of dolls vs. black cats. Give me my one gray kitten! Chapter 13. Omitted. Metaphysical specu- lation proves the number 13 to be unlucky. Chapters 14 to 20. The v alue of a Wheaton education—teaches one to appreciate side- walks, train service, and taxicabs. Miss Brooks is rapidly becoming wealthy from the sale of this unique work, and Ray, who was endowed with Wheaton loyalty and spirit, is preparing to make a great donation of gym apparatus to her Alma Mater. BUTLER, FRANCES ALICE lieve Art Club Mandolin Club 1, 2 Classical Club Orchestra Cercle Francais During the four years when she resided in the midst of us and learning, Fran always had a filmy shroud of mystery hanging about her. Fran was here participating in our work and play one day, when lo! the next she was gone, no one knowing whither. These disappear- ances usually took place at the conclusion of the week’s activities, and she returned radi- ant. So, as habits are not changed in a moment, we doubt not that Fran’s role in the communistic future life of ’23 will be that of a diplomat. In fact, the authorities have already intimated that the proposal is under the consideration of the class to ap- point Fran to the exalted position of military spy. Her duties will probably carry her fre- quently into the training camps of the several national powers. 34 NIKE 1923 CAPERS, RUTH ISTEPHENS Editor-in-Chief News 4 Class Secretary 3 Y. W. C. A. Cabinet Choir Glee Club Musical Club Classical Club Art Club Psyche Debating Club Associate Editor News 3 Behold the newly appointed editor-in-chief of the Wheatopian ‘‘Telegram!’’ Ruth’s ad- vancement from the Wheaton News has been rapid but well deserved. The staff, she says, will all be chosen for immunity to measles and general athletic ability, for the new editor believes that regular supervised exercise will do much toward keeping up the morale of the staff. Captains Fish and King will direct the Daily Dozen. Ruth is devoting one page of the paper to articles on how to keep well, or community health. She will lay special emphasis on the danger of measles, giving astounding statistics as to the annual num- ber of deaths resulting from this disease. What Ruth can’t write, she can sing, as Wheatonians well know, and for that reason she has a double claim upon the affections of all the Wheatopians. CLAPP, MARION ETHEL Spanish Club Marion insists that one should have ample leisure for one’s favorite pastime, and if it can be turned to the benefit of humanity, so much the better. Consequently she has taken upon her slender shoulders the burden of evening watchman, since it enables her to indulge in the fascinating sport of paddling. She makes each night a tour of the watery outskirts of the island of New Mania, while at the same time she varies her though’s be- tween the dread of approaching marauders and her own great problem, ‘‘The not doing of the must be done.’”’ But the rest of ’23 think that Marion is doing the greatest serv- ice to the community, merely by dwelling with them for a while, so that they may know her better. 1923 NIKE 35 COOK, GEORGIA KNOWLES “George”’ Head of Hiking 4 Assistant House Chairman Dramatic Property Manager Photograph Editor of Nike 3 Silver Bay Delegate 2 Varsity Basketball 4 Class Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4 Class Hockey 3, 4 Spanish Club Mandolin Club Deutscher Verein Psyche George One of the Three Original colored Friends.

Cabinet Silver Bay Delegate 2 Maqua Delegate 3 Class Hockey 2, 3, 4 Choir Science Club Psyche Glee Club Musical Club Assistant in Biology Laboratory 3 Pussy was a good mouser in her day, and still is. Of course Rover misses her. She is agitating for the Wheatopia branch of the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. In the Society magazine she is printing her life history in serial form, featuring her col- lege days, and emphasizing these four heads: 1. Freshman year. Pied Piper episode of Tragedy. 2. Sophomore year. What can be battier than the Cragin Bat? 3. Junior year. The Seventh Heavenly Rat. 4, Senior year. My Interest Takes a New Track—in the Gym. She is also collecting songs for the Wheatopia community song book, featuring her masterpieces: “That man is blest.” “On the Road to Silver Bay.” (Where my little turtles play). “Three o’clock in the morning’’—around the gym. We all wish pep were a divisible thing, so Pussy could have left some of hers with us. NIKE 1923 EMERSON, KATHLEEN “Kemmy” Class President 4 House Chairman 3 Chairman Discussion Groups 3 Spanish Club—Vice-President 3 Classical Club—Vice-President 3 Glee Club—Vice-President 3 Choir Deutscher Verein Psyche Not in the bark of ’22 Came Kemmie o’er the sea, She left Diploma Town a year, To be with ’23, To be with ’23, my dears, To be with ’28. They raised her to the highest place, They made her president. She holds the same position now, Among those resident. In all New Mania, my dears, They’ve made her president! And daily at her bidding all Wheatopia surges around; To get her mail, they use huge trucks, Across the rutted ground, Across the Hairpin Road, my dears, Across the humpy ground. EWING, MARGARET ALVORD “Margo” Y. W. C. A. Cabinet Silver Bay Delegate 2 Class Hockey 2, 3 Spanish Club Glee Club Choir Musical Club Art Club Margo could not conceive of an ideal com- munity without conferences, so a few were tucked in the Wheatopia Constitution, just for her benefit. And as of yore, the Discus- sion Groups will be held every Sunday, where the citizens will discuss all manner of things. Margaret will be as reliable in the choir as she has been in- all things, Student Volunteer Meetings included. She likes to swim and to sing, and because she does them well, we like to have her. The only fear of the Whea- topians is that some day she will carry out that threat of hers and leave them for China. 1923 NIKE 37 FAIRBANK, MARION CORINNE “Doug” Psyche Cercle Francais Spanish Club—Secretary-Treasurer 4 Studio Club Glee Club Classical Club Prominent on the faculty of the Wheatopia Academy, Marion is exploiting the theories of the Popular Teachers’ English course, which are not as follows: 1. Never say ‘‘do not,” if it is possible to say ‘“‘don’t.’’ Every word counts, even in a telegram to a sailor. 2. Say “I was graduated,” not “I gradu- ated.’’ Swimming requirements keep it from being a voluntary action. 3. Wordsworth’s poem should read, not ‘‘We are seven,”’ but “We are two.” FISH, DOROTHY LUCILE “Fishie”’ House Chairman 4 President Classical Club 4 Secretary-Treasurer Classical Club 2 Treasurer I. C. S. A. 2 Assistant Literary Editor Nike 3 Vice-President I. C. S. A. 3 Psyche Choir Glee Club In the establishment of the Wheatopian community, Lucile’s qualifications were so universally and well recognized that her class- mates not only insisted upon her going, but refused to go without her. For ‘Little Fish- cakes,’’ as Ouida calls ’23’s Greek student, is appointed to follow out her avocation, that -of the perfect house chairman. The under- classmen in Stanton wish to commute from Wheatopia to Wheaton, in order to remain under her regime. Her system we here make public, for the benefit of the seven new house chairmen. Scene, Stanton, a room on first floor. Grow- ing confusion and increasing hubbub. A gentle tap at the door. Lucile enters smiling, and asks if the movies were good. Exit, amid the conscience-stricken expressions of the merrymakers. But we're afraid her success lies not so much in the system as in the winning ways of the systematizer herself.

That’s Rosy, just getting back from a week-end. She will have charge of the dancing on board the ship, and no matter now much the boat rocks and rolls, Rosy will be able to keep her balance as gracefully as ever. Social life in Wheatopia will find a leader in Rosy, and we all wish we were going, too, for wherever Rosy is, there also is a good time. ae GANNETT, ESFHER DUPEE ORs” Class Treasurer 3 Science Club Deutscher Verein—Vice-President Cercle Francais Art Club Spanish Club “Snooksie, the Greek,’’ is conducting nota fruit stand, but a soup stall, ‘““Campbell’s Tomato, Ltd.,’’ that is, limited to the ca- pacity of the holder. Snookie hasn’t found her capacity yet, any more than she had when she lived in Larcom Hall. All sorts of customers are welcome, but those who speak the German tongue are preferred, since Esther thinks it only just and right that she should make some use of the language which she studied so painstakingly for two long years. She has made her little shop most attractive with the rose petals left her by Olga Mc- Intyre, and only wishes out of the kindness of her heart that the rest of ’23 could make such good use of the gifts thrust upon them. 1923 NIKE 39 GIFFORD, LOUISE SANBORN “Ouida” House Chairman 4 Assistant House Chairman 3 Assistant Editor News 4 Subscription Manager Nike 3 Y.

But once safely arrived at the island, Ouida lost no time in making herself useful to the community, which, as she was much scandalized to learn, knew nothing whatso- ever about Woman’s Suffrage. ‘‘Men,”’ she declaimed from an Ivory Soap box, “‘are ut- terly useless. They never use their heads when they vote. They don’t even use their ballots correctly.” GLIDDEN, ELEANORE DANIEL aloe” Editor-in-Chief Record 4 Editor-in-Chief Nzke 3 House Chairman 3 Y. W. C. A. Cabinet Varsity Hockey 4 Class Hockey 4 Agora Psyche Eleanore conducts the summer courses at the Wheatopian Academy. She is particu- larly interested in giving a true version of the drama. The readings in her course are all selected from Campus O. Fiction’s ‘‘Mor- bid Anthology,” which contains among many masterpieces the following: “The Room We Live In,” a startling melo- drama of heretofore unanalyzed rat psychol- ogy, and ‘‘Better Late than Never,” a dining tragedy. Juba is also prominent as a Y. W. worker, and lately carried off a bazaar with all of her usual gusto. She rather regrets not proceed- ing immediately to Leland Stanford and Hollywood, but the Wheatopians feel her presence among them an absolutely necessary factor in the management of all things where initiative and pep are needed. Ouida continues to give teas, but thinks it just as well to send out her own invitations now. The island is blessed with a cheery citi- zen in Ouida, who can always see a joke— even when there is none. 40 NIKE 1923 GOERZ, DOROTHY FREDERICA a DOtu Assistant House Chairman 4 Class Marshal 3 Deutscher Verein—President 3 Science Club Glee Club Choir Classical Club Debating Club Stanton Soccer Team For information on how to prepare for a trip abroad on five minutes’ notice, apply to Dot. She will also show you how to collect and tabulate notes and notebooks. She will tell you how to teach, and we expect her to give the world a practical demonstration after she leaves us. We know one thing—Dot will never be accused of being a “‘sour school ma’am,’’ if good-natured affability continues to be her leading characteristic. HADLEY, ELEANOR FRANCES House Chairman 4 Varsity Hockey 2, 3 Class Hockey 2, 3, 4 Class Basketball 3 Secretary Science Club 3 Psyche Deutscher Verein Orchestra Eleanor refuses to accompany her friends to Wheatopia unless a conservatory of music be set up, that she may be able to follow out her inclination in that direction. In the new chapel, she will preside as organist, but she has intimated that she has determined never to practice during library hours. If her music doesn’t keep her time employed, we think Eleanor may be seen on the hockey field— not hills and valleys—keeping the lively little white ball out of her goal. Perhaps she won’t object to a game of two-handed bridge now and then, but whatever she does, we know she will do it well. 1923 NIKE 41 HAMILTON, [RENE “Hammie” Editor-in-Chief Record 4—Resigned Literary Editor Nike 3 Record Staff 2, 3 Psyche—Vice-President 3 From her varied experiences with Nzke and The Wheaton Record, Irene has acquired a philosophy of pessimism and endurance which enables her to edit most successfully the ‘‘Two Days Behind the Times,’ the paper with the largest tea-time circulation in Wheatopia. Hammie personally conducts the literary reviews, and her one regret is that no Anglo-Saxons are writing nowadays, for she has nearly finished reviewing “Beowulf.” Her other regret is that she is so far from places where she would like to be, and train connections can’t be made every week-end, as in Norton. But like all great scholars, she is thinking out a way to remedy the evil, and we who know her ability as a student, have never a doubt but she will find it.

An endowment fund from Cragin is to be used to build a huge science hall in Wheatopia, where she may work at leisure, inventing and discover- ing for the glory of the Wheatopians. The New Mania So-Scientific Club flourishes, and they know they have a valuable member in Betty. Later, she intends to tour Europe and America, lecturing and agitating against the use of red curtains in churches, out of con- sideration for the flower committee. They caused her an infinite amount of trouble at Wheaton, but she smiled right on, and we appreciate her pains. 42 NIKE 1923 HELLER, RUTH PST “Huthie” Associate Editor News 4 Assistant Editor Handbook 4 Fire Captain 4 Class Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4 Stanton Soccer Team 4 Class Swimming 2 Glee Club Cercle Frangais Art Club Psyche Orchestra Clipping from Wheatonia’s biggest news- paper, ‘‘Two Days Behind the Times” A New Star Discovered Second Babe Ruth Wheaton claims the distinction of counting among its graduating class Ruth Heller, well- known newspaper reporter and baseball star. While at school, Huthie Reller was promi- nent as a member of the News staff and the class baseball team. Many think her pro- ficiency in the latter may be due to her care- ful study of teamwork, as shown in all the Harvard games of the season, none of which she missed. She has also done a good deal of research work in the sporting line at the Widener Library. Yet another claim to fame is her famous thesis on insanity, written for the drama class. The only sorrow of her col- lege days was that unfortunate ear trouble prevented much swimming, and frequent sprained ankles incapacitated her for appara- tus work. In Wheatopia, Miss Heller plans to pursue journalism, and her classmates will con- tinue to appreciate her efforts in their behalf.

On tiptoe she walks softly among them, Patting into shape a warm, downy pillow, Listening to the piteous tales of sore troubled spirits. It is Eliza as we knew her in Wheaton times, Capable, thoughtful, efficient. Never a freshman but knew our Eliza, Not a lonely soul but heard her whisper, “Good night.” Even the stray dogs of the campus Wagged their tails at the approach of Eliza. 1923 NIKE 43 HUTCHINSON, MARY ELEANOR “Hutch” President College Government 4 President Student Council 4 Chairman Election Committee 4 Secretary College Government 3 Assistant Editor Handbook 3 Y.

Restricted Shipping Bill Rejected Because Senator says he does not like gym. We're glad to be able to boast of one Wheatonite who takes an intelligent interest in current events, and we're proud of her record in history and economics courses, too. At the helm the tiny pilot steered the bark and did it nobly, Steered it without fuss or trouble, to the port where lay Wheatopia — Christened it, that unnamed harbor, named it after her ambition, — Built there gardens, there resided, loved and honored, loved and cherished. af NIKE 1923 KINYON, MARION SHELDON Classical Club Spanish Club Deutscher Verein Art Club Marion is doing secret service work with great success, and we think that for her suc- cess she should acknowledge a great debt to Wheaton, where she acquired the art of blacking up. Marion was a respectable coon many times when our dramatic stunts de- manded it, and it is small wonder she now so easily conceals her true type. In this dusky African guise she has rounded up many a blackmailer and chicken thief, but she has caught only two watermelon thieves. In her white moments, Marion is promul- gating a scheme to be handed down to all future generations of sophomores. Simply stated, it is the theory that movies may take the place of literature. Miss Kinyon, from her heavy schedule of Norton movies, became so well versed in the literature of all lands that if she had only been able to rescue her tickets from the doorkeeper of the town hall, she might have exchanged them for several units of credit at the Registrar’s office. KNIGHT, RUTH HECEN “Rufus” Psyche Science Club Art Club Deutscher Verein There was a young lady named Knight, Who waxed so exceedingly bright, She’d more knowledge of math Than any creature should hath— When she claimed a thing right, it was right. Ruth audits all public accounts, and Wheatopians who never learned the science of keeping a cash account now hire her at reasonable rates to do theirs. Such accounts must be kept, since it is a rule of the island that no woman shall spend more than she has. 1923 NIKE 45 KNOWLTON, SARAH D. FOSTER Cercle Francais Spanish Club Psyche Of course, Sarah teaches in the Academy, too... Manual Training. She firmly be- lieves that all girls should have some knowl- edge of that important art. Her courses are very popular, and students by their multi- tudinous gifts have given to her study table the aspect of a grocery store counter. But the trustees, who are much pleased with her quiet reliability, fear that they will be unable to keep her much longer. Sarah is not fond of such aquatic surroundings, and on one reckless occasion went as far as to say that she did not like water, whether it grew in the tank or the ocean. LOCKWOOD, GRACE GREENE “Gracious” President of Psyche 4 Business Manager Record 4 Business Manager Record 3 Advertising Manager Record 2 Endowment Campaign Committee 2 May Day Committee 4 Art Club Gracious departed in the company of her classmates for Wheatopia, with a firm resolve to ‘“‘get a good rest.’’ To proceed logically from cause to effect, as has ever been her habit, we state that the cause for the trip was overmuch sewing in her “‘suite’’ college days, resulting in fatigue. But her college life was full, not only of needlework, but also of logic, Psyche interests, novel reading, and letter writing. Grace was well known among her friends because of her esteem and admiration for Candied Fruits, Complex Feel- ings, and Consoling Fancy work. We at Wheaton will hold her in our memories as the tactful conversationalist and gracious hostess. 46 NIKE 1923 LORING, DOROTHY “Dottie” Assistant Director Vocational Bureau 3 House Chairman 3 Secretary Student Council 3 Joke Editor Nike 3 Fire Captain 4 Vice-President of Class 2 Class Marshal 1 We We CeNwiGabinet Glee Club Classical Club Cercle Francais Deutscher Verein Art Club Debating Club At Norton, Mann Sagt 1.

MAYER, MARGUERITE “Mag” Advertising Manager Record 2 Class Baseball 1, 2 Cercle Francais Psyche Glee Club Art Club While at Wheaton, Mag “‘had a complex”’ for studying philosophy and psych., and devoted most of her leisure to arguing on these subjects. She often told us of her in- terest in Freud and mental tests, so we were not surprised to learn she was preparing to make the perilous voyage to Wheatopia in order to instigate a new system of mental tests for angora cats. She will doubtless be notable in the community as president of the “Society for Debates and Futile Arguments.” One of her favorite subjects will be ‘Has the Mussel Clam a Soul?”’ She will base her argu- ments on her copious notes, taken from Philosophy 5 and 6. Much of Mag’s infor- mation was given in so high and psychical a manner that we could not follow it all, but we were reassured now and then by the fa- miliar interjections of ‘‘Hel—loo!”’ and ‘‘How stunning!”’ 1923 NIKE 47 NMURCHIES RUE ELIZABETYI “Murchie”’ Psyche Spanish Club Art Club Before Ruth left Wheaton, she took several tutoring lessons from the Norton Postmaster and Miss Twitchell on the best way in which to run a flourishing government business. Now she presides at the official window of the Wheatopia post-office. She finds that a knowl- edge of English is most useful even in a land so occupied by college students. She also advocates a knowledge of geography in case, as has been known to happen (see Wheaton bulletin board), she has to guess the town wherein resides the famous personage desig- nated on the envelopes. She wishes to pass a law against sealing wax, for she says that Pan sometimes startles her when he appears so unexpectedly. NICHOLAS, ETHEL ERMINA President Y. W. C. A. 4 Vice-President Y. W. C.

Ethel as a policeman is superb as she stands in the center of the down town traffic, point- ing out the narrow right way to all, and even though small native urchins have been known to chant the above, there is not one of them but respects and admires her almost as much as we of Wheaton. She is particularly good at tracing lost canoe parties, and in the company of her friend, Miss Roberts, whom she has often saved from mob violence, she herself has taken many a canoe trip about the bay of Wheatopia. Yes, of course, she heads up the Y. W. work of the island; can you imagine any one doing it better? NIKE 1923 PARKER, MARIAN CIN alia Class Secretary 4 Secretary Y. W. C. A. 3 Y. W. C. A.

We expect her to keep the islanders intellectually en- tertained by staging Shakespeare’s complete works. We hope the parcel post service to Wheatopia will be good, so ’23 can continue to depend upon Marion’s sending home for materials and costumes—or ‘‘Br-r-r-r!’ ’ When we think of trying to find another to fill her place, we say, ‘‘Br-r-r-r!’’ too. 1923 NIKE 49 ROBERTS, DOROTHY “Tyot”’ Director of Bureau of Vocational Oppor- tunities 4 Business Manager Nike 3 Secretary Dramatic Association 3 Varsity Hockey 2, 3 (sub) Class Hockey 1, 2, 3 Y.

Dot’s days on the island of New Mania are so occupied that she scarce has any leisure for metaphysical speculation, which, coupled with a young crescent moon, makes for her a perfect evening. She has gone about the island organizing quartets, which idea she patented under the name of ‘‘The Tragedy Male Quartet.’’ She is also a popular lecturer at the Industrial League, where she orates upon such subjects as ‘“‘Giddap Napoleon,” “Canoe Trips I Have Taken,’ and ‘‘The Wearing of the Passionate Purple.’’ Dot has been forced to give up her favorite sport of riding, but she still indulges in tiddle-de-winks.

Moreover, very few of us there are who have not benefitted from her justly famous lecture on the Metro- politan Art Museum, or who have not been urged to greater efforts in French 3 or 4 after witnessing her fluency.

Is it natural compatibility or just the blending of two very good dis- positions in the case of ‘‘Sylvest’’ and Marion, we wonder? Miriam also plans to remodel the Wheatopia Library after that of Norton, and will have a complete file of all American and European magazines. There will also be an entire room devoted to Dickens. The next classes at her Alma Mater will miss Miriam’s aquatic, dramatic, and scientific ability, and her dependable good nature.

For various reasons, she thinks that every one. should take a verse course. She has not published much verse herself, but has written an epoch-making book, entitled ‘‘Wandering Affections,’” the dedication of which is in the form of a free verse poem to Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. But in spite of these poetic tendencies, Bobby has a very steadying influence upon certain of the more ardent members of Wheatopia, and the unobtrusive efficiency which so popularized her reign as a house chairman has settled many of the affairs of the Republic, and in certain instances even kept its members out of court. 1923 52 NIKE TIEBOUT, ALICE MARGARETTA “Teebo”’ House Chairman 4 College Cheer Leader 4 Class Cheer Leader 4 Assistant Advertising Manager Record 4 Choir Glee Club Orchestra Musical Club Tiebout’s Wheatopia Orchestra (A Study of the Brass Band) 1 The Basic Melody Ten musicians on velvet cushions sat, Far-famed orchestra, think of that!

She carries this broad-mindedness even farther, and says why devote all one’s time to the curriculum of one college, when correspondence courses will put you in touch with other schools and colleges? And again, should one admire only Wheaton food, and ignore that attractive and nourish- ing article of diet, popcorn? Well, Marion, if you say all this is so, we are willing to be- lieve you.

Bee so loves the sibilant whistle of the peanut vats that she wanders among them for hours at a time al- most fancying herself back in the halls of Cragin, ‘‘shushing”’ in a right proud manner, as becomes the chairman of such a hustling dormitory. On such occasions she becomes thoughtful, remembering those days of Max- field Parrish pictures and dusky valentines, and once she became so sentimental in her reminiscence that she composed the follow- ing song, which promises never to die out of literature,— “Dear colored friends, Them days are gone When light our hearts And gay our song. Now we've got to work— Life ain’t so bright, Dear colored friends— Long since turned white.” 54 NIKE 1923 WILD SLUCY HOWE President I. C. S.

After the payment of all our just dues and debts, we leave our un- questioned credit to Mr. Cole and Miss Pratt. 2. To our granddaughters we do will and bequeath our seats in the new Library. These shall not have been written upon by the underclassmen. 3. To 1924 we leave our Chapel seats on the condition that they shall improve upon our use of them. 4. To our sister class, 1925, we leave our Love, understanding, experience and our good will. We also leave to them anything that has in any way had connection with us to use as they see fit. This privilege may be exercised over any previous claims on our estate. 5. To the Juniors we leave all of our privileges and our responsibilities, on the condition that they shall fulfill the latter and utilize the former in a con- scientious manner. 6. Likewise, to the above-mentioned Class of 1924, we leave Mr. Clapp’s Ford (Henry); the Inn; Mr. Pratt’s store; the various cozy corners in the gym- nasium, chapel, observatory, etc., for their specific use at Prom and all similar functions. We leave them, too, the right to wear the robes and mortar boards of office, and with this privilege we demand that the under classes show due respect for the same. 7. To the various members of the College in general we do hereby give, devise, and bequeath our personal property, — to have and to use as they see fit, —in the following manner and specifications: 1. To Maxine Spaulding we leave complete rule of the Waves. 2. To Evelyn Kyle we give Mildred Avery’s ear puffs and curls to be used only on very important and-exclusive occasions. 3. Marguerite Mayer and Lucia Bliss do give and bequeath to Frances Hill and Elizabeth Gilkey, their monopoly of the Observatory as a picnic ground. 4. To Mary DeRevere we leave the Senior collection of animals, i. e., Ruth Caper’s teddy bear, Maude Austin’s dog, all of Ruth Heller’s 1923 NIKE S72 Cupid dolls, the Wooden Soldier—Marievesky, etc. Also the best German vocabulary in the class and Dorothy Wood’s curling iron to help her more efficiently use all of Marguerite Mayer’s hairpins. To Roxanna Snodgrass we leave Eleanore Glidden’s personality and self assurance that she may have courage to venture forth without Evvie’s support. We leave Grace Lockwood’s and Fran Butler’s chairs at the Inn and Around the Corner to Miriam Flarsheim and Jean Kane in order that they may be sufficiently nourished during the coming year. We purposely omit Josephine Braman in this clause because of the ample support she receives from outside sources at the Tavern. To M. J. Sims we leave Ruth Heller’s bedtime stories to replenish the stock of entertainment to her parking accommodators while waiting for her evening calls to Boston and vicinity. To Elizabeth Soliday we leave Dorothy Goerz’ Mediterranean trip, in order that she may reach Venice without the unnecessary detour through the continent and thus giving her two extra weeks of moonlight and gondolas. To Helen Wetherell we leave the Chemistry Laboratory, the Biology Laboratory and the flies. We leave, by consent of the whole class, to Eleanor Day, Doris Graham, and Anne Kittilsen, the ‘‘Colored friend”’ expressions.

Class of 1923. 1DLOAWNOX, S CASEY There are two forms of history, that which one reads for learning and that which one reads for pleasure. With the former, or more beneficial type, we are all well acquainted. It is the sort of book that one outlines having paragraph headings with A, B, C, and D making it all clear and perfectly condensed for the aspiring mind. The second kind is of the variety of ‘‘memoirs.’’ The idea contained in the word “‘memoir,’’ however, is apt to be one of a silk-gowned lace-trimmed and powdered French beauty who, reclining in weariness on a chaise longue, writes witty and sardonic accounts of her perfumed existence. You can see that such a history would have small relation to the Class of 1923 — nevertheless, our history is to be of the Memoir type. Goldsmith wrote ‘‘The History of England” in the form of a series of letters from a nobleman to his son. The nobleman must have been of the very old- fashioned kind who have much leisure. However, the form of letter literature allows one a certain amount of latitude as to historical tone, which is decidedly helpful to the historian. Thus it is my pleasure to present to you the history of the Class of 1923, written in a series of letters from a self-made student to her family. The student is Miss 1923, a composite personality, who is the spirit of all living in the figure of one. The first letter is dated September, 1919. Wheaton College, Norton, Mass. Dearest Family: After you all left me at the South Station, I rode down here. It is several hours from Boston to Norton. The Norton Station was packed. Everyone ran and climbed onto a Ford which was standing there so I did, too. We rode and rode and I looked at the country pretty carefully; it seems sort of ‘‘open”’ giving a ‘‘far from the madding crowd” effect. Just then I saw a group of real brick buildings in the distance and we stopped in front of a yellow one. A guide in white who looked as if she was something special took me around and left me at the door of my room. My roommate had already arrived — I knew it in a minute because there was luggage in the room and powder spilt on the bureau. I was a little nervous about meeting her — one’s future partner, so to speak, thrust upon one unawares. But she is awfully nice—not very much like me. I think we are going to hit it off. Much love to you all —I must close now and be ready to jump into bed when the bell rings — that’s discipline. Yours lovingly, Daughter. 1923 NIKE 61 October, 1919. Dear Family: There are ninety in our class so Miss Young told me today; isn’t that thrilling? I have been feeling rather strangely about being away from you all, but as the poet said ‘Parting is such sweet sorrow,” and to think that I have left you all now and gone out in the world —I long for the home hearth at times. We live very queerly here by bells— bells for eating, sleeping, dressing and even for thinking. They gave two welcome parties for us and a Senior took me to one and a Junior to the other. It was very thrilling. I like it better now and I think when I get to be a Senior it will be quite nice. I walked across campus today with a Senior who is the President of something. Must close as we are going to Attleboro to see what it is like. Lovingly, Daughter. November, 1919. Dear Family: We were initiated at the Hallowe’en party by the Sophomores. Of course, every Freshman went through it with courage and fortitude as the minister says— but it was rather trying. Several of us got unexpected shampoos. We had our first class meeting today and Dean Everett announced to us the chairman and the secretary which had been chosen for us. We were just breathless with excitement all wondering who they would be. Elizabeth Savage is our chairman and Dorothy Rixford our secretary. Every one is de- lighted. The Juniors sang to us after the meeting, you know they are our sister class. It’s pretty special. They give us a party and we give them one and we wait on them and ask them to go places. Of course, they are all wonderful and much older than we are. I have a Junior of my own who wrote to me and am going to buy her some violets — that’s their special flower. Much love to all of you, Daughter. December, 1919. Dear Family: We had a secret class meeting up on the Taunton road last night to practice our songs to sing to announce our officers. We all went up with bug lights and gathered under a big tree. ‘‘Buddie’’ Upton whom we elected as our cheer leader coached us. Just before dinner tonight we had another secret class meeting in Chapin basement and we elected our officers. Then after dinner we came out of Chapin basement in a long line, each carrying a yellow candle. In the center was a big Christmas tree with five boxes on it. When it reached the center of the campus, Santa Claus, who was Ethel Dorr, took down the boxes one by one, and opening them pinned the roses on our officers, Elizabeth Savage, President; Louise Dingwell, Vice-President; Dorothy Rixford, Secretary; Lucia Bliss, Treasurer, and Louise Upton, cheer leader. If you happen to have any food at home that you are not using, you might ship it down here. Love, Daughter. 62 NIKE 1923 January, 1920. Dear Family: Last night was the Freshman-Junior wedding and it was simply wonderful. Barbara Howe the Junior President was the groom and our President Betty Savage was the bride. Afterwards, there was a reception with real wedding cake and then the bride and groom went away in a sleigh and we all threw confetti after them. Lossie Baker, one of the Freshmen, said to me that she only hoped that her own wedding would be half as thrilling. Love to you all, Daughter. March, 1920. Dear Family: We are all practicing furiously for the Freshman-Sophomore Gym meet. Merle Bronson goes through the entire dumb-bell exercise, using two umbrellas instead, every night before ten o’clock. Louise Gifford is said to be yelling “column right’’ and “column left’ in her sleep. You can see that it is very important. Grace Lockwood and Jo Braman are entertaining men in Metcalf Parlor this evening. We can see them plainly when we lie flat on our stomachs at the top of the Junior stairs. They are very good-looking — the men I mean. Love, Daughter. May, 1920. Dear Family: We are giving the Juniors a party this Saturday evening. It’s going to be quite an affair — Lucia Bliss told me that the refreshments alone were costing thirty-five dollars and, fifty cents. This party is going to be something new and different, awfully peppy, you know. The general plan is Bohemian and we have been rehearsing a musical comedy ‘‘Leave it to Jane’’ as the feature of the evening. Last Sunday night the bell rang 3 or 4 times right after 9.30. Of course, we thought that it was a fire rehearsal, so with kimonos clutched about us and ten curlers waving in the breeze, we marched downstairs into Metcalf parlor, which 1s our corridor’s assembly place. There were several of the upperclassmen and their men sitting there—oh, disconcerting sight! Nevertheless, Fire warden Bronson nobly called the roll and we all answered present. Just then Betty Norris informed us that it wasn’t a fire drill after all —so we gathered our night wear about us and retired in hasty dignity to our rooms. Some bone, wasn't it? Yours, Daughter. June, 1920. Dear Family: The year is ended — I leave for home tomorrow. Of course, I’ll be glad to see you all, but I certainly have enjoyed it here. That’s the way that all of ’23 feels and we’re coming back strong as Sophomores next fall. Love to you all, Hastily, Daughter. 1923 NIKE 63 Wheaton. September, 1920, Dear Family: Here we are again in full force and everybody so glad to see everybody else. Cragin feels itself quite the most important place on campus — as it holds the torment and hope of the college all rolled into one. I refer, ladies and gentlemen, to the Sophomore class. It gives me a great sense of importance and age to show a Freshman the way to the library or to explain the gentle problems of room arrangement so that two things can and will occupy the same space at the same time. This afternoon a Freshman asked me if she shouldn’t take a slate to Math class, just imagine, I told her not to forget the sponge to clean it with. I cannot realize that it was only a year ago that I was such. If you have any copies of Beowulf or Piers Ploughman or other English Lit. books up in the garret you might send them down to me. I think I am going to need them. Much love, Daughter. October, 1920. Dear Family: On Founder’s Day, we had an extra ceremony and broke ground for the new dormitory, Stanton Hall. It may be ready for us in our Junior year — I certainly hope so. We have announced our Sophomor e officers singing ‘Farmer in the Dell” in the Dimple before breakfast. Those elected were: President, Doris Black; Vice-President, Alice Phinney; Secretary, Marietta Bell; Treasurer, Beatrice West and Cheer leader, Ethel Dorr. Everybody is sure now that the year will be a success. Lovingly, Daughter. ; December, 1920. Dear Family: We are filled with gratification over the success of our country party to the Seniors. It was given in Cragin Hall, the rendezvous of the Sophs and we turned the basement into a great hall filled with straw and pumpkins. Every one came dressed as country boys and maidens. The tin mug flowed with cider and apple pies appeared by the dozens. Everyone shouted and sang in the usual gracious manner. Even if the Seniors doubt our technique, they cannot doubt our devotion. This Saturday, we are giving some fake movies -—— really shadow pictures for our Christmas stunt. If you all want any Christmas present from me, please forward a check wherewith I may acquire them. Yours to the last cent, Daughter. Western Union Telegraph December 2, 1920. Check for $25 needed to attend Hop. Jack can come after all. Oh! joy! Daughter. 64 NIKE 1923 Dear Family: December, 1920. Many, many thanks for the check. Wasn’t it fortunate that Jack got off of probation just in time to come. I was over in the Gym hanging snow on trees when his phone came. I kissed the receiver in my excitement and caught the four o’clock car to Mansfield to get a wave. We had the Hop dinner at the Tavern and in spite of the fact that the lights went out right after the soup course and stayed off for twenty minutes, or so, it was a great success. In fact, some of the girls think that the lights going out improved things. But you know Jack — they might just as well have stayed on as far as I am concerned. We danced until the wild hour of 11.30. It was one wonderful night! — Lots of love, Daughter. Dear Family: March, 1921. We won the gym meet again — aren’t we the most wonderful class you ever heard of? Also, we won with our Alma Mater song in the song contest. The Cragin owl is flapping his wings and fairly crowing. The Seniors gave us a perfectly glorious Valentine party. We now have our own class rings which mean so much. I can’t write any more as I have to go to a Hygiene lecture on “What to do when you faint.” Love, Daughter. Dear Family: June, 1921. Last week we took the Seniors on a straw ride to Lake Winnecunnett and had a picnic on the shore there at sunset. I shall always remember it. The moon came out as we were driving home and the sky turned a lovely lavender blue, the color of pale violets. Commencement will soon be over, 1921 gone forever and half of the class life of 1923 will be closed. Next fall, we start a new chapter —I hope that it will be golden, as this one has been. Devotedly, Daughter. Dear Family: September, 1921. All settled and our third year has begun. Am I deceiving myself or does not our class look much more dignified and serious than they used to. However, there is a reason — 1925 has arrived and 1923 puts on her spectacles, straightens her cap and prepares to guide them wisely. This year, as Juniors, we are divided so that nearly every dormitory is benefitted by our charming presence. We have been very busy with the question of class officers. The elections were held in the Art studio in Mary Lyon at 9 o’ clock with only bug lights. Everyone thought that we were going to announce our officers, so when we came out the entire college was waiting on the campus. The joke was on them all right. We announced our officers before breakfast in the Dimple — they broke through a big 1923 poster: President, Merle Bronson; Vice-President, Marian Webb; Secretary, Ruth S. Capers; Treasurer, Esther Gannett; Cheer leader, Louise Upton. Breakfast in Stanton became sort of a celebration. Must close now and study Psychology —I really wonder that we are not worn out with all our sensations making connections up and down our spine. It’s terribly complicated. Love, Da ughter. EE 1923 NIKE 65 — November, 1921. Dear Family: The Juniors are giving a musical comedy for 2-6-0. Ruth Sturtevant has written it, and nearly every one of us is going to feature either as a beautiful and witty young lady or as a young man of the well-known Arrow-Collar variety. Of course, we are frantically rehearsing. Buddie Upton is Peter, the stunning hero who breaks many hearts and the audience is kept in wild suspense until his frat pin is at last safely anchored on the right girl. Lucia Bliss and Elsie Solis are the heavy comedy element. Be sure to send my evening dress so that I can wear it in the last act. Love to you all, Daughter. December, 1921. Dear Family: Christmas stunts are always the merriest part of the Christmas prepa- rations at college. This year there was an astonishing number of wise men and stars and mangers. We gave an old English country Christmas — you know what I mean, the lord of the manor at the head of a great banquet table, much flowing ale and good spirits. It was spirit that carried it along all right as the entire class was on the stage at once all featuring in some capacity. We are having singing around the lighted Christmas tree now, one can hear it all over the campus heralding the holidays soon to come. I want to go out and sing with them, so will close. Love, Daughter. March, 1922. Dear Family: Have I told you about our party to the Freshmen? Fortunately, it came in February so a court of Hearts was in order. Our President, the Prince of Hearts, became formally betrothed to the Freshman President who, of course, was a princess. A court procession paraded to the stage which had become a throne room framed in a semi-circle of lighted hearts. We hope the Freshmen had as good a time as we did. We won the Junior-Senior Gym meet and also the song contest with a peppy college song written by Alice Tiebout. After three years of study we still have life enough left to do a few other things well. That's all, for now, but Junior Prom is coming! Love, Daughter. 66 NIKE 1923 May 10, 1922. Dear Family: Did you every hear of an article of vegetation which-goes by the title of “yellow rose?’’ Let me tell you that there isn’t anyone who can tell us anything about yellow roses. I lifted. dozens of them off my bed before I crawled into it at night for weeks. But what a terrible back-sided way of telling you all about the thrill and glory of Junior Prom. About Friday noon one noticed proofs of masculine existence about the campus. By Friday night there were as many as twenty men in sight at one time. Friday evening was the: Senior play “Billeted.’”’ Saturday morning walks and picnics were in order. We all chose various portions of charming Norton scenery wherewith to sport with sandwiches and ginger ale in jolly picnic fashion. Saturday afternoon the tea dance was on. We had dinner in Emerson after saying ‘‘May I present’? some fourteen or fifteen times in Metcalf parlor. And then to dance in the flower decked Gym and to realize that it was our Prom and everything was better than expected. You might send me a check sometime soon, or I will have to put a stamp in the collection plate next Sunday. Yours in love, Daughter. May 30, 1922. Dear Family: Did I tell you of Junior Frolic when skirts were shortened and hair let down and skipping ropes came in fashion again? ’23 appeared with great yellow hair ribbons and played several foolish games in the Dimple. Then we formed our numerals and sang class songs. Last came the skipping rope race — won by Pussy Douglass. It is said that some Juniors felt the necessity of a bit of private practice down on the hockey field before the race. After the Frolic we had one of our jolly class parties in Stanton basement. Hot dogs, apples and soft drinks are the order and everybody sits on trunks and yells and kicks and generally enjoys herself. It ends with a Virginia Reel, or a tug of war. | The Freshmen gave us a truly wonderful party. The gym, that place of many disguises, became a Japanese tea garden with the loveliest wisteria-twined swing at one end. Our favors were bunches of paper violets which we all can keep as a reminder of the kindness and love of ’25. Truly college becomes more wonderful each day as we realize its gifts in friendship as well as learning. Yours, Daughter. June, 1922. Dear Family: I am constantly thinking what it will be like next year at this time. The Seniors gave us Senior steps this evening and we stood upon them and sang for the first time. It is a moment you never forget — somehow you realize that it is an attainment to stand there, a privilege which only work and faithfulness can grant. Will be home tomorrow. Yours, Daughter. 1923 NIKE 67 September, 1922. Dear Family: Once again suitcase in hand have we come to the doors of Metcalf and announced our arrival for the year’s work. But now, we come not as supplicants bearing certificates whereon our ranks are written in deathless script — no, now, we come with assurance for we are an important part of that to which we come. Be patient, dear family, I am simply trying to tell you that college has opened and the Senior class is on the spot. Of course, the first thing we did was to put on our caps and gowns and in dignified procession march forth from Larcom Hall to announce our Senior officers. They were: President, Kathleen Emerson; Vice-President, Miriam Sylvester; Secretary, Marian Parker; Treasurer, Eliza- beth Hazeltine, and Cheer Leader, Alice Tiebout. We now have step singing and it is very beautiful of a cold fall evening to sing the college songs which are so well known to us all. Yours, Daughter. November, 1922. Dear Family: Every year we get nearer and nearer the front of the Academic procession on Founder’s Day, thus do even we evolute! In the evening ’23 gave those of 21 who had returned, a bat down on the hockey field. Then there were very informal stunts in the Gym. An entirely new college feature was discovered in the “Tragedy Male Quartette’’ who in native costume pleasingly rendered a program of unfamiliar songs — at least, they were surely unfamiliar to the quartette. At the end a beautiful cup was presented to one-half of the quartette by the other half. Yours with love, Daughter. December, 1922. Dear Family: There is no doubt that in the future any member of the Senior class will be able to burst forth in appropriate song at Christmas time. How beautiful are Christmas carols when you don’t have to practice singing them. We all had an idea that it was going to be frightfully cold singing in the early morning, at least, so had tradition told us. So we wrapped up in all our own clothes and as many borrowed, and went forth to nearly perish with the heat as, in spite of snowy ground, the morning was warm. I don’t think anyone ought to miss singing carols her senior year, it is a beautiful symbol of the Christmas spirit; that of working that others may enjoy. This year the Juniors and Seniors gave the Story of the Nativity in tableaux as the Christmas play. It was very beautiful. Yours with love, Daughter. 68 NIKE 1923 March, 1923. Dear Family: As usual, we are busy with something. Mid-years over, we plunge into the depths of Vaudeville rehearsals. The Seniors are giving an abridged perform- ance of Gilbert and Sullivan’s opera ‘“‘The Mikado.” The abridged means that quite a lot is left out. The atmosphere of the production is of an Oriental blend and one only needs to see the opening chorus bedecked in pigtails 'and Mandarin coats, shouting lustily “we are gentlemen of Japan,”’ to realize that versatility is one of our strong points. Shortly after this theatrical triumph we announced our honorary members, Dean Mina Kerr, Miss Grace Croff, Miss Alice Gipson, Rev. Vincent Ravi- Booth, and Mr. Arthur Cutler. The entire class is delighted with its new class- mates. Rev. Ravi-Booth gave a lecture for the Senior 2—6 —0 fund on ‘‘The Romance of Sicily’? which kindness greatly encourages our 2—6—O endeavors. We have just given the Sophomores a party a la Coney Island in style. Louise Gifford figured as the ‘“‘Hit the Nigger in the Head’’ — she being the ‘‘Head”’ and Lossie and Pussy made charming Dagos who ran a most profitable merry-go-round. An infantile disease, commonly known as the measles, has captured three of our class who are now enjoying the views of the college as seen from the infirmary. It has been reported that they are going into a decline due to their enforced rest. Love, Daughter. May, 1923. Dear Family: On the day of May Ist strange and secretive actions were noticed on the part of most of the Sophomores and surely mysterious appearances took place, for before the day was over each Senior had found a May basket at her door. They were all lovely and we certainly enjoyed them. The Seniors won the Swim- ming meet this year, an honor of which we are very proud. There is at least one strong reason why a Senior class at Wheaton contains good swimmers. It can’t help it. A movie benefit for 2-6-0 was held May 11, two shows, ladies and gentle- men! the admission 35 cents. Marian Webb became an expert in the subject of motion picture production at this time, and after a few days of wild suspense during which the college was liberally consulted, she decided on ‘‘Grumpy”’ as being a fitting picture for the Senior class to sponsor. Tiebout furnished special music at the piano comforted through the trial of two shows by a large stick of gum which the class had supplied her at her request. May Day is just over. Next to Commencement it is of course the most important Senior event of the year. It is the cause of many, many class meetings and much talk and much planning. We were certainly pleased with the results 1923 NIKE 69 this year. Our court scene was laid in the days of Robin Hood. The queen was Maid Marian, on whom as Robin Hood, Kathleen Emerson our Senior President placed the crown. Then the Procession lead by the queen and her court walked from the Dimple over to the theatre before the library where was presented for the queen’s pleasure, the Greek play “‘Electra.’’ Our May Day is over, but we enjoyed it as we hope did also the hundreds of guests who came to see it. We are nearing the end now, dear family, June is but a week off and June is the month of Commencement. Y outs, Daughter. June, 1923. Dear Family: Don’t give any excuses at the last moment, you know you are all coming, or I shall be terribly disappointed and might go even so far as to refuse my diploma. It is the culmination of the life of the Class of 1923, and itis a vital matter, a half sad, beautiful matter to all of us. As we look at each other, and know that we, who for four years have worked and played together, are now to be parted and go our separate ways, there comes to us a new feeling of class spirit. It is that we, though separated, are yet united in a common love for each other. Yours, Daughter. At one period in English Literature it was the style to have subtitles and if you will pardon the historian’s intrusion at this point I should like to say that this history has a subtitle. We shall call it, if you please, the ‘“‘History of the Class of 1923” or ‘“‘The Girl Grew Older.” —Ruth S. Capers, 1923. NIKE 1923 Junior Class Officers JEANETTE B. SAWYER EMmILy E. VIGUE MARION E.

SARGENT President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Cheer-Leader 1923 NIKE 91 The Sophomore Class Sophomore year is the gayest and the most irresponsible of one’s four years in college. No one expects the humility required of Freshmen nor the thoughtfulness expected from Juniors; one is a Sophomore and all things are explained away by that fact. Although we of Nineteen-Twenty-five have been the first Sophomore class in Wheaton to be split up into the various dormitories, instead of holding down Cragin as our exclusive residence, still we have managed to carry on our activities with true Sophomoric light- heartedness. First of all, we remember the solemn moment when the dignity of our Senior sisters, clad in cap and gown for the first time, turned our minds from gaiety to a realization that the year which should be the last with them in college, was beginning. Then came the mysterious, darksome preparations for announcing our officers, and the thrill we had in organizing ourselves for our second year at Wheaton. We prided ourselves on the thorough way in which we subdued and then later recheered the Freshmen on the weird Witches’ Eve. The great event, the Sophomore Hop, at which we made our debut into the social whirl at Wheaton, was marked by interminable class meetings, endless debates, and exciting chartering of rooms and feasts with which to regale the favored swains, and finally culminated in a grand and glo- rious splash that left us dreamy eyed and completely ‘‘broke’’ for some weeks afterward. After a few days of cessation from toil, we returned to face mid- years, from which ordeal we emerged with chastened spirits. The Senior- Sophomore party gave our youthful hearts a gleeful evening at Coney Island, and there we pledged again our love for our sister class, 1923. When the snows began at last to melt, and glimpses of green assured us that we did have a campus after all, Spring Fever took us in its grip, and we sported gaily about, exercising our privilege of singing and skipping without calling down on ourselves more than an occasional gentle rebuke from our older and more serious-minded sisters. So the year goes on, joyous and care- free, till we begin to feel the responsibilities of Juniordom descending upon us like a mantle, and our Sophomoric jubilance departing. 92 NIKE 1923 SOPHOMORE HOCKEY TEAM Front Row, left to right: Gertrude Haines, 1.f.; Cora Hopkins, sub.; Ruth Berry, r.i.; Mary Poore, c.f., Capt.; Sarah Serfass, r.h.; Muriel Sargent, l.w.; Doris Graham, I.h.

It has the distinction also of having among its number three little foreigners, a wee Japanese and two dark-haired Smyrna beauties. Twenty-eight states sent in their representatives too. In athletics, the girls of twenty-six have shown that they have come to help Wheat on. During hockey, basketball, baseball, and tennis seasons they have made places for themselves. Great was the Sophomore’s consternation when they realized that the silver cup for the athletic meet went to those “‘pesky Freshmen.” The friendships and loyalty of their sister class have helped them to become a part of that great Wheaton circle and to know what it means to claim the Wheaton blue. Now, with three years ahead of her, stands the class of twenty-six, ready to strengthen her loyalty and faithfulness to Wheaton standards and ideals, 98 NIKE 1923 ee FRESHMAN HOCKEY TEAM Front Row, left to right: Alma Reed, sub.; Gwendolyn Dodge, r.f.; Dorothy Weinberger, r.w.; Marion Gavett, c.f., Capt.; Dorothy Pollard, sub.; Hortense Wood, L.i.; Lucille Landman, l.w.

NIKE 1923 Rattlebras (With apologies to Samuel Butler, and his ‘‘ Hudibras’’) When first this town, by Norton named, And for the College, Wheaton, famed, Decided that an augmentation Of facilities for transportation Would make the citizens content, On starting trolley lines was bent. The undulating rails were laid By one whose eyes were crossed, ’tis said; And herring-crates made cars de luxe— Loosely fitted, leaving nooks To counteract the strain, perhaps, Thereby warding off collapse. At any rate, ’twas loose indeed, For, with accelerated speed Little peek-holes here and there Caused a goodly draught of air. The factory had not a wheel When Norton put in its appeal To have those fixtures straightway shipped, That each car might be well equipped. ‘““We’re sorry,’ came the terse reply, “Our stock of wheels has just gone dry— However, we are sending you Something that we hope will do.”’ And when the crate arrived next day, Its opening brooked no delay. Oh, consternation and despair, The wheels within that box were square! Nor ever since has Norton gained The finances to have them changed. Too true this legend was, I found, One day when off to Taunton bound; For, as before the Inn I stood And watched the car come up the road, I gasped with terror for its crew— It hopped just like a kangaroo! ‘Must I, so young, so fair,’’ I thought, “In this life-shortening trap be caught?” But bravely laying dread aside, I boarded for the fearful ride. The dim interior was not As terrible as I had thought, And the motorman, I must confess, Caused me a smile I couldn’t suppress; 1923 NIKE 101 For, to the girl across the aisle, With a most patronizing smile, He went, and calmly offered her A miniature cash register. She, greatly loath, thrust in two dimes, The which it swallowed up betimes, Each one acknowledged by a bell That rang as though it were trained well. Absorbed in this phenomenon, I did not notice what went on, When, suddenly, the old car reeled, And with infernal noises squealed— A rattle and a bang, a thump, A groan, a scrape, a wheeze, a bump, A jolt, a crash, a jerk, a jar, Whoever called this thing a car? A dizzy pitch forward and back, And then it started down the track. Alas! How wicked had I been! I thought upon my every sin— I had not prayed as often, quite, As one of my upbringing might; I had been selfish, thoughtless, rude, Nor had my word been always good. I begged forgiveness hard and fast, Feeling each jolt to be my last; So many things might be the end— Jumping the track around a bend, Striking a truck, or a lamp-post, And fast reduce me to a ghost. My brain was whirling with the din, So constantly it hemmed me in; Yet I managed to keep hid My feelings, as the others did. I found with ratiocination That I could rule the situation, Till it seemed quite usual when The car would stop and start again. The lurching that at first fazed me As yet was no catastrophe. I summoned all my strength anew— Our destination was in view! The car shook with anxiety, Approaching none too cautiously, It plunged with one amazing bound To where the tracks end in the ground— Precipitating me headlong Into a seething, motley throng— Let nothing ever dim its fame, The trolley got there, just the same! 102 NIKE 1923 One Exciting Night A very serious riot occurred in the secluded college at Norton. It took place one balmy night in May, about eight P.M., shortly after General Hunch- inson had retired, worn out with carefully preparing her Philosophy and Edu- cation lessons, to gain strength for her trying tomorrows. Hearing a most annoying racket without the castle walls, with her usual imperturbable brav- ery, she leaped out of bed with an athletic bound and wended her weary way to the front balcony of Chapin Castle. The insurgents, massed around the Bubbler, shouted their claims for the judicial regard of the General, who murmured with gentle interrogation, “Can’t we all be quiet and find out just what the trouble seems to be?”’ The leaders from each Dormitory loaded the salubrious, damp air with their grievances. The Wheaton Pussies were frightened out of their senses, and departed to parts unknown. [Editor’s note: forever, we hope.] The de- mands were as follows: Ansen Kittle, representing Craigin Court, weepingly asked for more Household Economics Lab. Lottie Doring, on behalf of the Larcom Lounge, passionately advocated the abolition of the Norton movies, and demanded that an Association for the Encouragement of Tiddly-Winks be formed. Lera Vauer, residing in Metcalf Manor, tearfully begged that Seventh Heaven should change places with Purgatory. Welenne Hetherill, existing in Chapin Castle, belligerently insisted that no one be permitted to move furniture except members of her Union,—The Chapin Amalgamated Association of Nocturnal Furniture Movers. Stanton Stop-Off demanded that it be decided once and for all whether or not Eve Lyke is a better rider than Rosanne Grasnod. General Hunchinson was amazed at these requests. She orated in sym- pathetic tones, “‘',am surprised, pained, grieved, and disappointed at such reasonable requests. Can’t you find any more logical reasons for revolt? I would suggest that you ask that, ‘That man is blest who takes the best and leaves the rest,’ be adopted as our Wheaton song.”’ At this the mob howled and shrieked melodiously in the most approved riot style. General Hunchinson cried musically, ‘“Oh, how shall I quell this turbulent rumpus?” Brigadier General Gouise Lifford resonantly trumpeted, “Let me try the effect of my famous and now perfected sssssshhhhhh!”’ She, however, was not destined to carry out her purpose, for at this point, General Hunchinson was forced to turn aside to referee a duueel between the valiant Brigadier General Lifford and the disputatious Brigadier General Wee Best. As the duueel promised to engage the undivided attention of the noble contestants for quite some time, the General wrung her hands and feet in desperation, wailing, “Oh, where shall my help come from?”’ As if in answer to her touching appeal, the telephone jingled. The Gen- eral gracefully excusing herself from her audience, answered it, hooting joy- ously, ‘The day will be saved.”’ The dulcet tones of Al. Tibeau from Barrows Bungalow floated over the wire, ‘“Need I say that I will be delighted to do anything in my power to assist you in the hour of need, my dearest General?” The General, summoning all her fast-ebbing strength, sobbed, “Say it with Music.” Then the courageous General Hunchinson swooned. 1923 NIKE 103 Our Own Hymnology ‘Breast the wave, Christian,’’ yodeled by Ruth Knight in the swimming pool. ‘Blow ye the trumpet, blow,” Adrian Cahill, tooting her bugle. ‘Another six days’ work is done,’’ sings Joe Braman as she packs her bag. “Far from my heavenly home,’’ sighs Fran Lederman, as she opens a letter postmarked San Francisco. “Begin, my tongue, some heavenly theme,’’ Dot Roberts. ‘Christian, seek not yet repose,’’ Marian Pennock resolutely declaims at “Three O’clock in the Morning.” “As the sun doth daily rise,”’ Goes Betty Larkin for exercise. ‘Sometimes a light surprises,’ and then, ‘‘Lead, kindly Light,’’—Ouida Gifford, sleuthing for light cuts on Sunday (and other) nights. “Blest be the tie that binds,’’ Cushing and Savage, Inc. “Cast thy burden on the Lord,” Eliza How’s invitation to the college. “T know no life divided,’’ Roxie Snodgrass. ‘In the hour of trial,” or ‘‘Just as I am, without one plea,’’ opening hymn at any Studie Gov.

Besides that small handicap, I was going on a blind date. My roommate had been booked to go, but at the last moment complications in the form of measles set in, and I was prevailed upon to function instead. Like Steve Brody, yours truly is always ready to take a chance; so thither I wended my way. A little two-by-four engine deposited me in front of a couple of telegraph- poles and a cart-path, but, after playing my optics about the secluded depot, I finally discovered a man and a station. The former announced that he was the taxi-driver. “Oh!”’ said I, searching in vain for the mentioned vehicle. Then hearing a sort of mechanical ticking issuing from the direction of his corpulent per- son, I doped it out that he carried an Ingersol, and was just about to give him the fraternity handshake when he moved, bringing to light a diminutive flivver, which was jumping around as if it had a spasm of hiccoughs. We started—all three of us—and I, not having been endowed by Providence with collapsible limbs, did the best imitation of a jack-knife possible under the circumstances. Hanging on to my two newly purchased teeth and my hat as best I could, I managed to hold together until we came to a startling halt at a gate labelled ‘‘For Visitors.’’ Taking that to mean me, I followed the arrow to a door-bell, which I hit the first time I aimed at it (mirabile dictu!) and leaned up against the door with a sigh of relief at having reached my destination. Suddenly my means of support was withdrawn from me, and I assumed a reclining position in the hall. “Howd’yado!” said I, tipping my hat to the female form standing before me, and untangling my legs from my ribs (not without difficulty). “Whom do you wish?” she inquired, in tones that dripped icicles. “Er—Just a minute; I’ll see!” I replied, searching through my disarranged person for the card Jim had given me. After growing rather hot under the collar, I found it in the seventh pocket and presented it with a flourish, being master of the situation once more. “Sit down!”’ she commanded me, and I subsided on a sofa. Here I found I was not alone, for beside me was another male being. “Here for Prom?” I inquired, not knowing what else to say. “Uh-huh,” he nodded. “Oh!” said I. Then, feeling that my preceding remark had been somewhat dumb, I added, ‘“‘I thought maybe you were a book agent.” Fortunately, at this moment a girl entered the room—a vision of golden hair, blue eyes, and—oh, well, you know the rest in the books you have read. I mentally straightened my tie, and physically stood up, feeling like a million. Straight towards me she floated, smiled, and held out her hand—to the other guy, who had risen also. -“Oh, Algernon!’ she cooed, as I wilted on the couch. “It’s just too lovely to see you again!”’ Here another girl entered—this time a night-mare! Holy Russia! She was about three feet by four in length and width respectively; but the crown- ing feature was her hair—in two braids! This was the straw that broke the camel’s back, and as I had not the endurance of that animal, I passed into welcome oblivion, cracking my head on a chair as I descended. Did you ask how Prom was? Well, you see, I didn’t come to until Sunday night, when I had to leave. Oh, yes, I had a swell time! 106 NIKE 1923 LITERATURE AND TH E 18TH AMEND- MENT Miss Croff, in novel class, and speaking of Robert Louis Stevenson: —‘‘He was moderate.

Crossing the Woodbridge, he heard a Bell ring the alarm. Instantly the Sargent of the Guard lowered his Pike, but recognizing the Knight as a brother Mason, he sent for the Porter. This worthy old man lead him thru a court of Stone and paused before a great door. Striking three mighty blows upon the wicket, he waited four-fifths of a second by his wrist watch, and then delivered as many more buffets, whereupon the door was opened by the Butler. “Bruce,” quoth the Porter, “‘here is a fair Knight, who desireth to speak- eth with our master.’’ Whereupon the Butler ushered the Knight into a handsome Hall. The Lord of the castle entered presently, leaning heavily on a Kane. At the sight of our friend, he stopped and his Gray Hair began to Eddy with wrath, and he was Oliver tremble. “Great Scott,’ he quoth, quite wroth, ‘How darest thou Park thyself here. Know you not that at the last joust at Taunton, thy father dealt me a wicked haymaker because, forsooth, he said my dice were loaded? Begone!” “Really,” answered our Knight, very politely. ‘I think Dad must have been off his trolley that time. I’m sure you do not know the Manwell. He likes your Lordship a lot and speaks often of the time Prior to prohibition when you and he split a Case of Beers at the Mansfield horseraces.”’ ‘Ves, yes,’ mused his Lordship, quite mollified, “Them was the days! Let me see, our motto was, ‘Day by Day in Every Way, we are getting Fuller and Fuller.’ Yes, my boy, your father is a Goodrich man. Make yourself at home.’ “Thanks,’’ murmured our hero, helping himself to a Melachrino. “And now I will notify the Cook, the Baker, and the Miller of your arrival. What wouldst for dinner?”’ “Bacon and Partridge,’ vociferated Sir Knight, modestly. “Fine!” chortled his Lordship, as he left the room. ‘‘You’re my meat.” Now this Lord had a beautiful daughter who was in her boudoir at the time of the Knight’s arrival, doing her Daily Dozen, after having played billiards all day in the south West tower with the Abbott and the Bishop. Hearing from her French maid that ‘‘un beau monsieur” had just driven up to the castle, she stopped gyrating and flung herself down before her mirror. “Give me McComb for my nut brown tresses, and my new Greene taffeta, with the Savage headdress. No Capers, now!” she ordered, as her maid jazzed out of the room. Three hours hence, the lovely lady snaked down the stairs and skidded into our Knight, placidly playing the Victrola in the lounge. Looking up and beholding this beautiful apparition, he exclaimed in low and fervent tones, “Aren’t you the Berry!’’ They got on well after that. The affair reached a crisis when the twain were seated on the root of a tree growing out of the Fairbanks. Brooks gargled anywhere in the darkness, Fish leaped from the sparkling waters, only to disappear down the slim, slippery throat of the sophisticated Swann motoring about. Not a Russell disturbed the lovers. Her clear voice shattered the silence. “Percival, take, oh take me from these Toombs!” Who could resist such a plea! Next night, having made a successful Dodge of the Guard, the Knight took the fair lady off with him to the Wild, West Wood, leaving the old Lord to Nash his teeth in vain. Good night, little children! 110 NIKE 1923 College Government Association Officers M. ELEANOR HUTCHINSON . é : President HELEN A. SAVAGE A ‘ ; Vice-President MuRIEL E.

Instead of the former so-called ‘‘Student Government,’ we have now a broader and more inclusive organization known as ‘‘College Govern- ment.’’ It can be seen from the difference in names that the former associa- tion included only the students, while the new arrangement recognizes the faculty as necessary to the intelligent functioning of government. It must be realized that a constitution which gives the entire government into the hands of the students is exactly as one-sided an affair as that which provides for entire faculty administration of law and order. We have tried to com- bine the two systems, thus broadening the scope of the association and tend- ing toward a more friendly spirit of co-operation and helpfulness between our faculty and students. 112 NIKE 1923 Under our new plan the house chairmen are elected by the student body exactly as are the other officers. Once a month these house chairmen meet with the faculty heads of halls to discuss problems of dormitory life, thus bringing greater harmony into the business of administration. As well as meeting with the faculty, the house chairmen are regular members of the College Government Board, and meet with that organization once a week, bringing helpful advice and suggestions from the heads of halls. More often this year than ever before have we heard the three-bell signal for house meeting. An attempt has been made to lessen the demands on the time of the student made by frequent mass meetings. Matters which pertain to dormitory life have been taken up in house meetings by either the heads of the halls or the house chairmen. Thus the time which has previously been devoted to administrative detail is now free for our Community Meetings. These are led by the Dean, and as the name implies, members of the. faculty frequently attend. Topics of general interest are discussed and reports from other college conferences are given, which give us an outlook on the world atilaree. This year all the organizations combined in giving a welcome party to the freshmen. The president of each group made the freshmen feel that they had a part in the college life by their friendly words of greeting. In November, Louise Gifford and Alice Tiebout attended the conference of the Women’s Intercollegiate Association for Student Government at Randolph- Macon College, Lynchburg, Va. They brought back an interesting report of the meetings attended, which they gave at a meeting of the student body. A large number of Wheaton students now know exactly how much they spend, for College Government Association has introduced personal account books. At the end of the year it is hoped that some interesting data regard- ing the amount of money spent for clothing, amusement, and other items besides the fixed charges of the college, can be obtained. Elections came rather earlier than usual this year, and a new system of voting was introduced. Each house chairman distributed printed ballots on which were listed the officers of the organizations. Nomina tions for office were then made, the ballots counted by dormitories, and then taken to the President of the Association, who posted the names of all nominees who re- ceived the necessary number of votes. A preliminary voting followed. This determined the nominees gaining first and second place, who became candi- dates for the final election. This scheme, which took less than a week, saved much time and confusion, though, of course, it revealed several defects which can be remedied next year. We look back on the progress made so far, due to the interest and enthu- siasm of both the board and the members of the Association, feeling that it is a stable foundation on which to build. With the co-operation of the faculty and students, the future of our College Government Association must be one of advancement. 1923 NIKE 113 Y. W.C. A. Officers ETHEL E.

CABINET The Young Women’s Christian Association has been a real live factor in the college curriculum this year. Starting the year well with the Welcome Party in September, Y. W. kept up the enthusiasm of the student body with the Candle Light service, which was indeed impressive. A real campaign was made of the World Fellowship drive, since we are fortunate enough to have two Smyrna girls with us this year. The balance of the money was sent to the Student Friendship Fund. x The annual bazaar this year was held under the joint auspices of Y. W. and I. C. S. A. The undertaking proved a decided success for both organi- zations. A house party was held in the fall, with the Industrial Girls at New Bed- ford. We appreciated the opportunity of becoming better acquainted with them and their interests. We have been very fortunate in our outside speakers for the Wednesday evening meetings, but the student speakers are always a source of renewed interest on the part of us all. The Conference Committee has done faithful work, so that we hope to send a good representation of Wheaton to Silver Bay. We gratefully give the credit for the year’s achievements to the loyal officers and cabinet of the association. 1923 NIKE | 115 This year Wheaton took a new step in sending its conference delegation of thirty-four girls to Maqua instead of to Silver Bay. A more desirable site could not be found. Our cottages and tents were nestled among pines and birches on the shore of Thompson Lake. The view across the water was beautiful, and on a clear day we could see Mt.Washing- ton. Although the rain constantly descended upon us, there was plenty of inspiration and fun to keep up our spirits, and we soon learned to overlook the weather. Every morning after the devotional services, we assembled in small groups, where we discussed the subjects which Dr. Archibald presented. Some of his subjects were ‘“‘The Bible,” ‘‘God and Christ,” “Prayer,” and “The Church.” The afternoon was given over to recreation—basketball, swimming, hiking and rowing. In the evening, meetings under the various leaders were held, after which came our delegation meeting, the most helpful of all. This year Wheaton should feel more proud of her delegation than ever, as the first place in the song contest was awarded to us. The silver cup we now che rish will long remind us of our victory. The spirit of Maqua is indeed one of good will and friendliness which we have tried to carry out in our college life. 116 NIKE 1923 Dramatic Association Officers Doris Ee Bbracks f : : : President FRANCES W. HILL ; ; : Vice-President CATHERINE H. WILSON : : : Secretary FRANCES G. WEBSTER c ; . Treasurer Dramatic Association Encouraged by the keen interest and painstaking coaching of Miss Violet B. Robinson, the Dramatic Association has developed remarkably during the past year. Its range has broadened, and its resources have increased. The early fall found the Dramatic Club fully started on its program. “Three Pills in a Bottle’ was the first play of the season, and was success- fully produced at the Taunton Congregational Church as well as at the col- lege. For the Sophomore Hop play, in November, the Association proved that Shakespeare can be truly entertaining as well as educational, by present- ing ‘‘The Taming of the Shrew.’’ Two one-act plays in March, ‘“The Shadow of the Glen” and “America Passes By” tried out Freshmen aspirants, and gave roles to some of the most promising. “The Dark Lady of the Sonnets’’ was presented before the Boston Wheaton Club in the early spring. For Prom, the Dramatic Association produced Bernard Shaw’s ‘‘Arms and the Man,” changing the old “Senior Play’ into a college affair. Sophocles’ ‘‘Electra’’ was probably the most difficult piece of work ever attempted by a Wheaton cast. Its success at May Day and Commencement is an achievement worthy of notice. In the spring, the Association was fortunate in securing Mr. Frank C. Brown, noted theatre critic and architect, to lecture on ‘“The Production of Shakespearian Plays.’’ Mr. Brown was also most kind in suggesting means of enlarging and improving the stage for bigger work next year. - Not only to our coach and actors, but to Miss Otis, Dr. Shook, and the Chairmen and members of Committees on Scenery, Properties, Costumes, Clean-up, and Green Room, does the Association owe thanks for co-operation and attainment. 118 NIKE 1923 Athletic Association Officers FLORENCE K.

PIKE WINIFRED CHALMERS Mary PooRE The year 1922-23 has been a most successful one for Wheaton’s Athletic Association. A. A. opened its activities early in the fall, when its President called a mass meeting to arouse interest among the members of the entering class. The point system was explained to them and they were invited to attend a welcome party, which was to be given for them in back of the gym- nasium on Saturday afternoon, September 30. There were three-legged races, sack races, fifty and hundred yard dashes, and even bobbing for apples. Lolly- pops and peanuts were served as refreshments, and joke prizes were given to the winners of the races. The popular sport of hockey started at once, and we were exceedingly fortunate to be able to have an English coach for three weeks to instruct our teams. The inter-class championship was finally won by the Seniors (1923) in a play-off game with the Juniors. Radcliffe and Sargent both played our Varsity on our Athletic Field. Radcliffe defeated our team 3-1, and Sargent defeated us 2-1, after a hotly contested fight. An Alumnez team played the Varsity team on Founder’s Day, and was defeated by Wheaton 1-0. 120 NIKE 1923 For those who were not interested in hockey, there was soccer practice every afternoon. Towards the last of the season, there were inter-Dormitory games. The fall tennis tournament had more entries than ever before, but Mildred Avery showed her superior skill and won the Singles, while Mildred Avery and Anne Kittilsen carried off the honors in Doubles. Saturday evening, October 21, A. A. gave an informal party in the gym- nasium, and every class put on a stunt. Between the stunts there was dancing. On the night of October 28, the gymnasium became a haunted place, with ghosts lurking in every corner and peering out from behind tall corn stalks, uttering uncanny shrieks and groans. After the Freshmen had been properly terrified, and initiated, there was dancing and several stunts were given. The evening’s good time was brought to an end by everyone’s sitting on the floor in a circle, while Dean Kerr read a story. In the fall a committee was formed to revise the constitution. This com - mittee voted to have an A. A. Council made up of the coach, the President, and other officers; the heads of Hockey, Basketball, Baseball, Tennis, Hiking, Publicity, and Varsity captains. In November at a Mass Meeting the heads of sports were elected for the year, and they were as follows: Tennis, Mildred Avery; Baseball, Lucia Bliss; Hiking, Georgia Cook; Publicity, Margaret Lane; and Basketball, Rachel Pike. With the coming of winter, everybody’s attention turned towards bas- ketball, and large numbers came out to practice. The inter-class series was won by the Junior Class (1924). Our first and second Varsity teams played the Boston School of P hysical Education in our gymnasium, and although our girls put up a good fight, they suffered defeat. Our first team was de- feated 50-23, and the second team 28-26. On March 8, our girls went to Jackson, only to suffer defeat again, the score being 24-16. Nothing daunted, Varsity played the Alumne, resulting in a tie 19-19. On February 17 came A. A.’s annual Vaudeville Show, which went off better than ever before. A. A. thanks every student for her co-operation and interest in making Vaudeville a big success. The evening of February 22 found the gymnasium transformed into a Colonial ballroom, with beautifully-gowned Colonial ladies dancing with gal- lant men of the Revolutionary period. Dr. and Mrs. Cole were the judges, and awarded the prize for the best girl’s costume to Florence Baker, and to Martha Oliver for the best man’s. Before we started our spring activities, came the annual gym meet between the Sophomore and Freshman classes. The Freshmen won the meet by only five points. The individual winner of the meet was Mary Poore, ’°25; second place was won by Margaret Norton, ’25; third place by Elsie Miuttart, 20: With the coming of spring, inter-class tennis games as well as Varsity . games were held. On May 23 our Varsity journeyed to Pembroke, and on May 29, Radcliffe came out to play us here. Baseball was as popular as usual, and inter-class games were held. Hik- ing also played an important part in the life of the Wheaton girls, and fre- quently, organized groups went off on a hike and cooked their supper. The annual inter-class swimming meet was held in May, when a great deal of exhibitional work was done. Captain Miller came in May, also, and more of our girls passed the Red Cross Life Saving Test. The faithful work of the President and the Board has made this year the best ever for the Athletic Association. 1923 NIKE 121 Se eC VARSITY HOCKEY TEAM Front Row, left to right: Lucia Bliss, c.f.; Eleanor Glidden, r.h.; Margaret Hale, r.i.; Mildred Avery, r.f., Capt.; Eleanor Hutchinson, l.w.; Anne Kittilsen, l.i.; Eleanor Breed, sub.

EDMERE BRITTAIN : 2 : Treasurer 1923 NIKE 123 Bureau of Vocational Opportunities The purpose of the Bureau of Vocational Opportunities is to aid the stu- dents of Wheaton in choosing their careers, and to give them a clear idea of all the fields open to women to-day. The plan on which the board has worked was. to interview each Senior and to invite suggestions from any underclassman, as to the work in which she is most interested. During the year, and especially at the Vocational Conference in the spring, the majority of these occupations are presented to the girls by some speaker who is recognized as a leader in that field. For the benefit of those girls who do not know what they would-be able to do, sev- eral speakers are obtained to give a general outline of vocational oppor- tunities where college girls are needed. Two interesting and helpful speakers in the fall were Miss Emma Gunthner, head of the department of Home Economics at Columbia University, and Miss Helen Bennett, director of the Chicago Bureau of Vocational Guidance. Miss Gunthner spoke of her recent trip to China, and the service which is being done there by graduates of her department. Miss Bennett mentioned a num- ber of positions which have never before been tried by women, but for which they are now eligible. The Vocational Conference on April 5 and 6 was very successful. The conference was divided into three sessions, with three or four speakers at each session. After each meeting the speakers held seminars, at which the girls particularly interested in this work asked questions and discussed indi- vidual problems. The speakers were as follows: H. C. Baldwin of the Babson Statistical Institute, on ‘“The Field of Statistics’’; H. T. Claus of the Boston Transcript, on “Journalism’’; Miss Ruth Wigglesworth of the Boston School of Occupational Therapy; John Davidson, Superintendent of the Boston S tore in Providence, on ‘Glimpses of What a Girl Can Do in a Department Store’; Dean Roger Gilman of the Rhode Island School of Design, on ‘‘Art’’; Miss Charlotte Caffrey, on ‘“The Work of the Vocational Guidance Director’”’; Mrs. Eva White of the Elizabeth Peabody House, Boston, on ‘‘Social Serv- ice’; and C. Howard Roberts, Personnel Manager of Houghton Mifflin Co., on “Opportunities in Publishing.”’ Vocational Bureau has offered a course in typewriting, which has been taken by fifty students. The arrangements were made by a committee in charge of Frances Ledermann. The course was given by Mary Leo. Mrs. Alvin E. Dodd, a graduate of Wheaton in 1918, is Vocational Direc- tor of the college. She has not been able to be at Wheaton as often as in former years, but she has given us very valuable assistance. ‘The bureau is very fortunate in the co-operation of both faculty and students. President Cole is most interested in our meetings, and Dean Kerr is very helpful in advising and securing speakers for us. 124 NIKE 1923 Intercollegiate Community Service Association Officers Lucy H.

C. S. A. aims more and more each year to afford every girl an oppor- tunity of doing social service work on a small scale. It broadens our horizon and extends our interest beyond the activities of the campus to the larger needs and interests of the world. It serves as a connecting link between the college and the community in which we live. During the past year the mem- bers feel that the goal has been more nearly reached under the useful guidance of the president, Lucy Wild, and through the work of her cabinet. The association has worked in conjunction with the Y. W. C. A. in pro- viding speakers for the Wednesday night meetings. It has kept in close touch with Miss Haley, the student Secretary, and with the Boston settlement houses. It has found places for girls in camps and social centers, for spring and summer vacation work, and has endeavored to arouse enthusiasm for such service. Maieoy WC Awands © S.A “bazaar took-the place, ‘for the latter or- ganization, of the circus which we have formerly had. The bazaar and enter- tainment was an event in the social life of the college, and was also a financial SUCCESS. The usual activities were carried on throughout the year, and were also added to. Thanksgiving baskets were packed and given to worthy families here in Norton. The Christmas work included dressed dolls, scrap books, and gifts to all the employees of the college. The Girl Scout Troop has been faithfully carried on by Edmere Brittain, 25, assisted by Edith Baker, ’26. The girls meet every week and have been doing good and earnest work. They have been given a party, and rule books, to help them pass their tests. As one of the new phases of the work at the Norton schools, Marion Pratt has had charge of serving cocoa through the winter months at the recess time. I. C. S. A. is deeply grateful to all girls who have volunteered their service in this work. The girls also have helped at the town churches. Two girls have had regular classes at the Congregational Sunday School and have helped organize a choir. Increasingly important is the presentation of entertainments at neigh- boring towns. Pauline Leibert has had charge of this work, and has taken entertainments to Dodgeville and Attleboro. On March 14, the Attleboro Community Fellowship Association gave a Wheaton Night, when our girls gave the evening’s program. The Association wishes to express its thanks for all the volunteer assist- ance the girls have given the President and the Cabinet in the making of the year the successful one it has proved to be. 126 NIKE 1923 Wheaton Record Editor-in-Chief. ; ; : ; ELEANORE D.

AUSTIN ’23 The Wheaton Record is published five times a year, in November, Decem- ber, February, April, and June, by the students of the college. Its purpose is to stimulate literary production among the undergraduates. The history of the magazine is very interesting. It is an outgrowth of the Rushlight, an under- graduate paper, whose first number was dated July 11, 1851, and which was written by hand. In 1891 the Rushlight was edited by the Senior Class and was printed. At the death of Lucy Larcom in 1894, there was a special bio- graphical number. The name was changed to Wheaton Bulletin. In these vol- umes can be found an adequate history of our college. 1923 NIKE 127 The Wheaton News The Wheaton News is published bi-weekly by the students of Wheaton College. Its purpose is to guide and reflect the college life, functioning in such a way as to truly represent the life and thoughts of the undergraduates. The paper was originally called the ‘Campus Parrot’’ and was printed secretly by several enterprising students. In 1921 came the desire to have a regular college newspaper in addition to the literary magazine, and the Wheaton News was organized. The circulation and size of the paper have nearly doubled in this its second year. Last November the Wheaton News sent three delegates to the Conference of the Association of News Magazines of Women’s Colleges, which was held at Mt. Holyoke College. This conference gave many suggestions which have proved successful. A special Junior Prom issue was published in May, which it is hoped will become an annual feature. The Wheaton News has progressed this year, through the enthusiastic work of its staff and the generous support of the student body. 128 NIKE i 1923 Nike Staff Front Row, left to right; Elaine LeClair, Elizabeth Soliday, Frances Hill Second Row, left to right: Martha Oliver, Catherine Wilson, Mary McDowell, Margaret Reid Back Row, left to right: Dr. Gipson, Olivia Robinson, Dr. West Editor-in-Chief ELIZABETH SOLIDAY Literary Editor Subscription Manager Mary McDoweELyi OLIVIA ROBINSON Assistant Literary Editor Art Editor ELAINE LECLAIR FRANCES HILL Business Manager Joke Editor CATHERINE WILSON MARTHA OLIVER Assistant Business Manager Literary Adviser MARGARET LANE Dr. ALICE E.

The men and women, chosen to speak at its meetings, are those whose lec- tures will give a basis for intelligent criticism and appreciation of the best literature, or who will inspire creative work. The year of 1922-23 was formally opened in October by the initiation ceremony. In November, Mr. William I. Cole gave an illustrated lecture, on the artistic side of Japanese life, entitled, “Cherry Blossom Time.” In Decem- ber, Miss Violet Robinson presented an illuminating review of the progress of the drama with her subject, ‘‘The Dramatic Dialogue of the Last Fifty Years.” At the March meeting, Miss Abbie Farwell Brown showed the possibilities of another field for literary work by an interesting talk on ‘Writing for Chil- dren.’”’ The April meeting was made open in order that all the college might share in the pleasure of hearing Miss Katharine Lee Bates lecture on ‘‘The Uses of Poetry.” The program is varied each year to bring something of interest and value to every member. 1923 NIKE 133 Science Club Officers ELIZABETH HAZELTINE : : : President MARION PENNOCK ‘ ; : Vice-President ALTA E.

From the formal initiation meeting in the fall of 1922 to the closing lecture, this aim has been furthered. In order to extend the work of the club, all of its speakers are shared with the faculty and student body. The Science Club has been steadily growing since it was founded in 1921 by Professor Pouleur, and is earnestly striving to take its place among the larger organizations of Wheaton. Much of its success is due to the fac- ulty of the scientific department, who have ever been ready to help. Science Club seeks the truth and is ready to share it with others. 134 NIKE 1923 Agora Officers HAZEL KING : : : : President ELIZABETH BACON. . ; ; Vice-President SARAH ABBE ; : : Secretary-Treasurer A new club has been formed this year for the benefit of Juniors and Sen- iors who have completed at least two courses in History. The honorary mem- bers include the instructors in History and Economics. Due to the fact that the members are admitted on a scholarship basis, the club is not to exceed twenty students. Agora, each time led by a chairman, takes the trend of a discussion on a current topic which is framed in the form of a resolution. The Ku Klux Klan and the Farm Bloc are but representative topics of such discussions.

As each meeting is carried on in French, the girls have a splendid opportunity to become ac- quainted with the spoken language. Our first meeting was held in October, and Mademoiselle Dewoitine delighted us with several French folk songs. In December, we revised the Constitution. Scholarship, which is now a requirement for admission, proves to be both an incentive and a reward. At our second meeting, we learned French carols, which were sung as part of the college Xmas entertainment. In April, we admitted new members and added fifty-five names to our list. We hope these new members will help carry on the work of the club and make it a success. Its aim is to give an opportunity to study France and its customs, and therefore prove to be at the same time interesting and instructive. 136 NIKE 1923 Der Deutscher Verein Officers E. PAULINE LEIBERT . ; : President ESTHER GANNETT ; Vice-President ELIZABETH COLLEY . : Secretary ELEANOR Day . : s : : Treasurer The members of Deutscher Verein have found this year a very successful one, for with the assistance of Dr. Eastburn, the club seems to be fulfilling its purpose. This purpose is to promote among its members, friendship, fluency of speech in the German language, and an interest in the literature and life of the German people. At our first meeting, Eleanor Day read a selection from Siiderman. At other meetings, Elizabeth Soliday gave a stereopticon lecture on ‘“‘The Passion Play” of Oberammergau, which she saw when abroad; Dr. Lange told us of some of her experiences in Germany; Dr. McIntyre lectured on German Idealism. The students of the second year German class presented a play which they had adapted themselves from ‘“‘The Adventures of New Year’s Night,’ by Heinrich Zchockke at our last meeting. Thirty new members, having attained the standard of scholarship which the club requires, were admitted to Deutscher Verein this year. Our club is increasing, not only in numbers, but in value to its members. 1923 NIKE 137 Classical Club LUCILE FISH § ; : : President EMILY VIGUE ; . ; : Vice-President RuTH BERRY : F ' Secretary-Treasurer ‘“‘FHaec olim meminisse tuvabit”’ As 1922-23 draws to its close, Classical Club becomes reminiscent and begins to think over the pleasant events of the year. In the first place, the honor of becoming a member of the club was enhanced by the fact that schol- arship was established as the touchstone of membership. But it is for the pleasant and profitable meetings that the year will be most clearly remem- bered. At the first meeting, Dr. West discussed the prominent position of clas- sics in education abroad and demonstrated both by anecdote and example the living value of Latin. Hallowe’en was the occasion for Greek and Latin ghost stories, the forerunners of our stock tales of haunted house and midnight apparitions. In January, when new members were welcomed, the Pyramus and Thisbe tale was traced through literature and a dramatization of Ovid’s version of it was presented in Latin. Dr. and Mrs. Cole entertained the club at a delightful Valentine’s party. Mrs. Cole showed how many of our Valen- tine’s customs have their origin in Greek and Roman art and literature. Of his poems, Dr. Cole chose to read a number of translations and originals inspired by Latin authors. The fifth and last meeting of Classical Club was open to the whole college and brought the year to a fitting close. 138 NIKE 1923 Spanish Club ELIsE ALDRICH . : ; : : President SARAH ABBE : , : : Vice-President MARION FAIRBANK . , Secretary-T reasurer This year the Spanish Club has arranged some very interesting and in- structive meetings, under the efficient leadership of Miss Hough. The in- creased membership this year has added to the enthusiasm and enabled the club to enlarge its activities. One of our best meetings was held in November, when Miss Hough gave an illustrated lecture on Spain, describing in a very interesting manner the places she had visited. At the last meeting of the year, ‘‘Manana de Sol,’”’ by Quinteros, was staged in the gymnasium, to which the entire college was invited. Elise Aldrich, the president of the club, played the leading réle in a most pleasing manner, being ably supported by Kathleen Emerson. Several Spanish scenes were also presented, including a dance and a serenade. The play was a great success financially, and much credit is due Miss Hough and the entire cast. The Spanish Club gives its members a good opportunity to learn about Spain and the manners and customs of its people, as well as considerable practice in Spanish conversation. 1923 NIKE 139 The Wheaton Art Club Officers MARTETIAIKS BEEL =; : , President FRANCES W. HILL ‘ : Secretary-Treasurer The Studio Club of days gone by has grown into the Wheaton Art Club. It has achieved new dignity and prestige during the past year. The number of meetings has been reduced, but they have proved to be more valuable than ever. The season opened with the annual studio tea, a very entertaining affair, held especially for the Freshmen. Art works executed by Wheaton students and by Miss Otis were exhibited in the various studios in Mary Lyon Hall; and members of the Wheaton Art Club served as guides to the new comers. Our Japanese student, Shio Sakanishi, gave a very interesting illustrated talk on Japanese prints. The Style Show proved to be a particularly entertaining feature of the year’s program. Miss Walker, a Wheaton graduate, and a member of Filene’s Personal Service Bureau, lectured on the Art of Dressing, and illustrated her talk by clothes displayed by Wheaton models. Thus the Wheaton Art Club has succeeded in stimulating an interest in the various fields of art. 140 NIKE 1923 Debating Club Officers MARION F. WEBB , : : : President IKATHERINE DIGNEY . ‘ ; Vice-President ALICE POWERS . ; : : : Secretary JEANETTE STUART .- ; ' : Treasurer The Wheaton College Debating Society was formally organized and took its place among the activities of college life in the year 1922. The objects of the society are to stimulate interest in debating; to instruct the members in the principles and practice of argumentation; to develop poise, clear thinking, and ability in extempore speaking. Under the leadership of Miss Robinson, the club has made a splendid beginning towards accomplishing these purposes. The activities for 1922-23 have consisted of a study and discussion of Alfred Dwight Sheffield’s book “Joining in Public Discussion’’ and two de- bates. One of these was on the question, Resolved: that at present there should not be any increase in the powers of the college Government Association at Wheaton; the other, Resolved: that the Philippines should be granted their immediate independence by the United States. The interest which has been taken in this club proves that it has already become a real factor in the life at Wheaton, and the members hope that before it is much older the club may take part in intercollegiate debates.

LEo ALMA SCHEEPER ALICE WHALLEY A synopsis of what has happened for past years, with slight variations, and what may be predicted for many future years, this year presented, with humblest apologies to Mr. Lewis Carroll, in a new poem. ALICE IN WHEATONLAND SEPTEMBER 20 Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting on the lid of her trunk and waiting for the Mansfield car. She was considering in her own mind whether the pleasure of going to college was worth the trouble of getting to Norton, when suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her, saying, ‘““Oh, dear, oh, dear, I shall be too late! It’s now September 20.”’ Taking a gray book out of its waistcoat pocket, it hurried on; Alice burning with curiosity, hurried after it. SEPTEMBER 24 Alice had not been long at Wheaton when she again saw the White Rabbit. He was crying, “Oh, my ears and whisker, how late it is!” She hurried after it into a long, low building, which she thought must be the gym, and which was filled with girls dancing. What was her surprise to see the White Rabbit running excitedly about with a white bib tied under its chin, begging everyone to write on it. “Oh,” thought Alice to herself, ‘“‘this must be the Y. W. Welcome party to the Fresh- men. I’ve heard of such things!” OCTOBER 14 It was on this evening that Alice saw the White Rabbit peering ner- vously at the ground and exclaiming, ‘Oh, my dear paws, where can I have lost it?’’ Alice thought the poor thing must have lost its gloves again. After he had gone she picked up a little white card, which read, “The Dramatic Association presents this evening “Three Pills ina Box.’ ”’ “Poor thing,’ said Alice, “I thought it looked pale.” 1923 NIKE 145 OCTOBER 21 Alice stood by the Dodo, watching a long line making its way towards chapel. She liked the black gowns and the bright hoods. “Oh,” she said, “is this a parade?”’ “No,” replied the Dodo, ‘“‘Founder’s Day.” Alice followed them in and sat quietly in the balcony. “It’s very nice up here,” she thought, “‘for I can see the chapel and the man who planned it, too.’ For she had read on the program, “‘Address by Mr. Ralph Adams Cram.”’ OCTOBER 28 This afternoon the White Rabbit had started for Radcliffe, very much excited, a blue ribbon around its neck, and in one paw a Wheaton pen- nant, which it lapped nervously, instead of the lollypop which it held in the other. But it had come home with tears in its eyes, declaring that it did not care for hockey games, and declining to tell the score. Alice later learned that Radcliffe had won 8 to 1. In the evening, Alice heard that there was to be a Hallowe’en party in the gym, but she was afraid to enter because of the most extraordinary noise she heard going on within—constant howling and shrieking and every now and then a great crash. “That’s the Freshmen being initiated,”’ said the White Rabbit. “Are they supposed to be having a good time?’ asked Alice, a little doubtfully. She wished she could be sure. “Of course,’’ said the White Rabbit, peeping in. “‘Didn’t you see the refreshments?”’ Alice stood on tiptoe, peering over the edge of a huge mushroom, at the Caterpillar seated on the top of it, smoking a long hookah. “November has been a busy month,” he said. ‘‘Do you remember?” NOVEMBER 4 “T remember the music and the men,”’ she said. “Certainly the C. G. A. informal dance?”’ ‘And the crowd and the ’rahs and the sticks.’’ NOVEMBER 11 “Of course, the Sargent—-Wheaton hockey game.”’ “Who won?” asked Alice, timidly. “Why, they all won,—Sargent won the victory and we won the defeat.” After a pause, she continued, “‘I remember something about wistaria.”’ NOVEMBER 18 “T should hope you did! That’s the Sophomore Hop!” “Oh,” said Alice. “‘That’s when everyone wanted to be a Sophomore. ‘But they could all see the play, anyhow. I remember it, ‘The Taming of the Shrew.’ It was quite a famous man who wrote it, I believe.” But the Caterpillar was looking angry again, so Alice hurried quietly away. DECEMBER 2 It seemed to Alice that she spent most of her time following the White Rabbit to the gym, and every time she went, it looked like a different place. She liked it especially well at the Y. W. C. A. and I. C. S. A. � 146 NIKE 1923 Bazaar. The White Rabbit’s little purse was soon empty, but he had quite a pile of packages he had bought at the class booths, and that Santa had given him. DECEMBER 14 “Curiouser and curiouser,’’ thought Alice, ‘“‘they must have upset their calendar. Are they having chapel at night?’ But when she got there, she found it was an address by Rear-Admiral Sims. DECEMBER 16 Alice was all by herself in the back of the gymnasium, thinking about Christmas, when surprisingly she saw all her thoughts pictured on the stage in “‘The Story of the Nativity.’’ She sat very still, because it was so beautiful. DECEMBER 20 The air was getting Christmasier and Christmasier. Alice noticed it, and so did everyone else. She rubbed her eyes as she looked through the windows into Emerson Hall. The many candles looked like so many stars. There was a real Boar’s head, a Yule Log, and a flaming plum pudding. Best of all were the carols sung on the terrace, and the old English sword dance which the Sophomores put on. JANUARY 27—FEBRUARY 3 These few days and the exams they brought were so painful to Alice and all her friends that we think it cruel to-call them up again to memory. FEBRUARY 17 Alice heard there was to be a Vaudeville, so a day beforehand, she ran over to tell the White Rabbit about it. But there he was, all ready to start, ‘‘to get a good seat,”’ as he said. They both decided it would be a good plan for A. A. to put one on every night, it was so much fun and so much better than the Norton movies. 1923 NIKE 147 ARMS AND THE MAN FEBRUARY 22 So many strange things had happened to Alice since coming to Wheaton, that she took the Washington Birthday Costume Party quite calmly. ‘‘For,’’ she said, “‘what difference does it matter whether I’m really liv- ing years ago, or dreaming, or just make believe? I like it, and that’s all there is to it.” FEBRUARY 24 “Do you play croquet with the Queen today?” said the Cheshire Cat, waving its right paw at Alice. “No,” she answered, “I’m not playing anything. But I’m watching Miss Beauvais’ play basketball with Wheaton. “You'll see me there, too,’”’ said the Cat, and vanished. MARCH 3 “T’d like to be going to the dance tonight,’’ Alice said to herself. ‘It’s going to be a very nice one, and besides there are two plays to be given.”’ “‘T know the names,”’ said the White Rabbit, proudly. Alice did, too, but she didn’t want to spoil his pleasure, so she asked him, just to give him the chance to say, ‘‘The Shadow of the Glen” and ‘‘America Passes By.”’ “But if you go to them,” growled the Cheshire Cat, ‘‘you can’t go to Jackson to see the basketball game there.”’ “Then,” said Alice, looking thoughtful, ‘‘I shall have to decide on one and leave the other.’’ Which was much more sensible than crying about it. 148 NIKE 1923 Marcu 17 The White Rabbit was scampering along with a number pinned on his back and an Indian club tucked under each arm. “Well,” said Alice, ‘‘what in the world can he be up to?” Then all at once she happened to think of something he had said about a Sophomore- Freshman Meet in the gym. “But why are you in it? You are neither a Sophomore nor a Freshman. You're only a White Rabbit.”’ “Yes,’’ he said soberly, ‘I know it. But I’m drilling with the Freshmen because I hear they’re going to win.” May 4-7 “Tf you knew Time as well as I do,” said the Mad Hatter, ‘“‘you wouldn’t ask what time this is.” Alice had no intention of asking; she knew well enough that it was Junior Prom time. She had been all week getting ready for it. She was very glad of the chance to take the White Rabbit to something, he had taken her to so many parties in the gym. The butterflies were all made and the Gym all decorated, and Friday night they ran Bernard Shaw’s ‘‘Arms and the Man,” in which Doris Black and Lovis Sawyer played leading parts. Alice was very proud to think that they were Wheaton girls. Saturday, of course, was the Big Day. They had a tea dance in the afternoon to take up time until the evening, so to speak. All the time they had been preparing for that evening, and when it came, Alice thought it was the shortest she had ever known. “Which hardly seems right,’’ she said, when she was thinking it over afterwards. 1923 NIKE 149 May 26 Alice had never seen a Greek play, so she thought May 26 would be a Red Letter day in her life. ‘‘Electra’’ was such a nice sounding name, and the Library steps made such a proper setting for the play. ‘‘And then,’’ said the White Rabbit, ‘‘there’s the May Queen to see. I have never seen a real live queen. Let’s tell the Cheshire Cat about it, for I’ve heard that even a cat may look at a Queen.”’ JUNE, 17-19 ‘‘T’ve had such a good time with all these girls,’’ Alice confided to the White Rabbit, “that I hate to see any of them leave. Commencement is nice, but I find it sad, too.”’ The White Rabbit made no reply, so Alice continued (she liked to phil- osophize), ‘‘They can do most anything they wish with the Future, can’t they?” “T think,” said the White Rabbit, ‘‘we might go with ’23. I don’t like it so much here without them.”’ So they both hurried off after the new Alumne, bearing with them the gratitude and loving wishes of all Wheaton girls. 150 NIKE 1923 The New Library We look forward with more than usual interest to the fall of 1923, when we will return to old associations and a much-needed new library. The corner stone was laid on Founder’s Day of 1921, and the building was opened for inspection this June. We have eagerly watched its progress and the work from day today. The building completes our quadrangle as originally planned, and adds great beauty to the campus. The reading room has been arranged according to the alcove system. The completion of this structure marks a milestone in the history of Wheaton in the attainment of its ideals. 1923 NIKE 151 2-6-0! Still sounds the call of 2-6-0 For Wheaton girls where’er they go; And one and all we give it heed, Her daughters true know Wheaton’s need. The Seniors gave a Movie Show To see it, we made haste to go. The speaker they brought we liked well. The May Day pictures all did sell. The Harvard Clubs made music sweet, This was the Junior’s special treat. And everyone we've met has said They liked to hear ‘‘The Doll’s House”’ read. A lending library’s mighty fine, There always is a waiting line, And candy, popcorn, stickers too, The Sophomores sell for Wheaton’s blue. The Freshmen follow right along, For 2-6-0 they’re rooting strong. ‘“‘Come boost the fund,’’ their motto now, A million dollars, anyhow! And so we rush with all our might — To keep the cherished goal in sight. And thus it is where’er we go, We yell in chorus, 2-6-0 152 NIKE 1923 MAY QUEEN AND HER COURT 1923 NIKE 153 May Day On the afternoon of May the twenty-sixth, Robin Hood and all his Merry Men gathered in the Dimple to pay homage to her Majesty, the Queen of the May, and her loyal attendants. The Queen was preceded by a Herald, ladies-in-waiting, her maid of honor, and flower girls. Having been presented her crown from the hands of Robin Hood, her majesty was entertained by a presentation of Sophocles’ “‘Electra.’’ After the closing scene of the play, the Queen departed in the company of her court and followers.
