GA eeapiner 4 Psyche Spanish Club, Vice-President 3 Sarah is one of the most energetic of our seniors. It makes us weary just to contem- plate all the things she is planning to do in the course of one short lifetime. First, she is going to Columbia next winter to study for her M.A. We hear that Martha Oliver, Eleanor Breed, and Betty Sincock are plan- ning to do likewise. We sincerely hope that they will look after our little Sarah, and not let some gallant Knight of Columbia break up the plans for her career! After acquiring her degree, Sarah hopes to teach history, and we venture to say that she will be mighty successful at it, judging by her record in history at Wheaton. But Sarah isn’t willing to stopthere. Ultimately, she expects to give Current Events lectures. All we can say is, we hope she will make a place in her schedule to visit Wheaton, for we know that the lectures, not to mention the lecturer, will make a big hit. Maybe Sarah will be lecturing in the new assembly hall when we hobble back for our hundredth reunion. You never can tell! Conn. BACON, ELIZABETH M. 504 Columbia Avenue, Millville, New Jersey Agora—Vice-President 3—President 4 Editor-in-Chief Handbook 4 Assistant Business Manager 3 Student Council 4 Psyche We found Betty busy playing solitaire. She excused herself by saying: ‘‘I simply have to have something to occupy my time!”’ Betty is going to take a P.G. course at Wellesley next winter, with an M.A. in view. She will major in Economics, and minor in Sociology. We expressed deep interest in these plans, and begged for details. But Betty put a stop to our editorial aspirations. “I’m going there because Daisy says I have to be around Boston next year.’ ‘‘Y-e-s, of course, I expect to teach Economics!” Of course! Our editorial cheek blushed for having been so “dumb.” “But I still would rather do nothing than anything else!’’ Betty reflected. We were moved to ask a leading question. “No! College has not changed my idea any!”’ 1924 NIKE 25 BARKER, MARION 31 Duncklee Street, Newton Highlands, Mass. Cercle Francais Spanish Club Yow. C. A. Cabinet 1, 2; 3, 4 When we asked Marion to tell us what her hobbies and likes and ambitions were she got all pink with embarrassment, and refused to say a word. Which only goes to prove what we had already guessed: namely, that she is very shy, and much more ready to listen to others than to talk about herself— “an excellent thing in woman.’’ We did find out, however, that she wants to teach History next year, and her preference is for a school in Massachusetts, ‘‘so that she can come back often to visit Wheaton.’’ Don’t you think that shows that she also has good taste? BEERS, DOROTHY 67 Brownell Avenue Hartford, Conn. Cercle Frangais Spanish Club Psyche Dot is following the path of least resistance, so she affirms, for she is going to teach next fall. She excused herself by saying: ‘In four years one gets into an awful rut,”’ but to our mind, Dot appeared very wide-awake, and we can’t help thinking that she will make a mighty fine teacher. Being a citizen of the Nutmeg State, she declared that she will teach in Connecticut. Being a Nutmegger our- selves, we think this is a capital idea. Dot also wants to be near the water, but whether she hopes to find pirates, sailors, artists or octopuses near the briny deep, we failed to discover. We advised Dot to consult a fortune teller before deciding definitely on her future career, since she has so many aspirations. Among other things she mentioned Library Work, Interior Decoration and the possibility of an M.A. degree. We further advised Dot (we are always full of advice, it is cheap, you know!) to consult some of our own faculty members during their ‘leisure hours,’’ for Dot is laboring under the delusion that when one teaches, one has ‘‘so much spare time!’’ We believe that the little game of “Doubt It” would be appropriate at this point. 26 NIKE 1924 BLAKE, FRANCES B. 54 Sydney Street Dorchester, Mass. Art Club Cercle Frangais Spanish Club We should love to tell what ‘‘Fran’’ said when asked the first time what she planned to do next year — but we can’t, because the very day after there was a worried little note in our mail box begging that what she had said should please not be taken seriously. And the next time we went to her she an- swered prosaically that probably she would go into newspaper work. They say ‘‘Fran”’ likes most everything including eats, Cather- ine Mansfield, cunning underclassmen, and bridge, especially the last. BRADLEY, ELIZABETH 60 Milton Avenue A. A. Council 4 Assistant Editor Record 3 Cercle Frangais, Secretary 3 Art Club Classical Club Psyche Agora Following many ‘‘practical applications,”’ in the way of delicious cups of tea, intriguing sandwiches, and such delicacies, we have come to associate Betty with all sorts of good things to eat. Hence, we were not very much surprised to learn that she is planning to help run a tea-room this summer: “‘to learn something.’’ However, we venture to say, from experience, Betty, that you have not much left to learn in that line! We hope your T-room won’t be too near our home, or we will be forced to spend all our time and shekels there. But please don’t go too far away, either, Betty! Next winter Betty expects to teach English and History somewhere in the Middle West, perhaps in Chicago. Hers is a rather unusual object in teaching, but we think it is a very good one. Betty wants to teach to get ex- perience in managing people and in living in a large community. Ultimately she hopes to get a B.S. either in English, or in Domestic Science. Betty is considering the very interesting prospect of working in Miss Farmer’s School of Cookery, which is run by her aunt. And we secretly suspect that Betty will some day be at the head of this school. We quite envy the very interesting and varied career that Betty has before her. Hyde Park, Mass. 1924 NIKE 27 BRAMAN, JOSEPHINE 418 Second Street Elyria, Ohio Cercle Francais Classical Club The electric current was quite low when we called on Jo (which sometimes happens), but we caught a mental picture of dark, curly hair, fluffy eiderdown, and lots of cloudy-blue chiffon; all quite intriguing to our weary eye. Jo must have heard us interviewing Jean, for she piped right up with the same line: “Just going to get married—I guess.” We assured Jo that this was old stuff, and warned her not to try anything funny on us, but Jo really was quite serious about it. At the same time, our sub-conscious mind wired to us that we had heard some mention of one Heman Ely before! So we reckon it is o.k. Jo expects to live in the suburbs of Phila- delphia; Bryn Mawr, or Overbrook; “if we can find any place cheap enough.” Jo sud- denly became enthusiastic: “Say,’’ she expostulated, “want to hear something funny? I’m going to do the cook- ing!”’ This was all very interesting, as was the fact, which we learned to our sorrow, that Jo was a fresh-air fiend. Feeling our edi- torial neck stiffening momentarily, we made haste to depart. We bet Jo will make a cute bride! BREED, ELEANOR 29 Beacon Hill Avenue Lynn Varsity Hockey 4 Class Hockey 1, 2, 3, 4 Class Basketball 1, 2, 4 Delegate to Hockey Camp 4 Deutscher Verein Agora Psyche Having interviewed Louise, we were about to look under the furniture for Eleanor, for we knew she couldn’t be very far away. ““Crackers’’ soon came bustling in, with her arms full of pink tea napkins, looking very gay and festive. “Crackers” is the first Senior we have dis- covered who is going to teach—(please give us time)—kindergarten. She has enrolled for the year course in the art at Columbia. After completing the course, she wants to teach near Boston. We believe Costello made the same remark, about being near Boston, we mean. It’s queer the way some people’s minds run in the same channels! Anyway, we will soon be in our second childhood at the rate we are going, so we will come on to “Crackers’’ school, for we think that she will make a mighty fine Kin- dergartner! BRISTOL, ELIZABETH Summer Street Cohasset, Mass. Classical Club Musical Club Art Club (Choinslee2 oe Somehow, when we think of choir we always think of Betty, the very last one up in the corner of the right-hand bench. Church will not seem natural without her there. She plans to keep on with music, but only as an avocation. Business looks much more in- teresting to her for every day. She is to be at Filene’s for a month this summer, and next fall she will go to the Prince School in Boston, to study personnel work. In _ be- tween times, Betty likes to climb mountains, great, great, big, high ones like Pike’s Peak and Mt. Everest and all the mountains around Norton. away her real motive in camp work, when she said: ‘‘I love to go berrying.”’ “T never did bring any high ambitions to college,’’ Winnie reflected, “I work hard when I do work,’’ she added. Looking at her list of accomplishments, we concluded that our A. A. president refuted the former statement, and proved the latter. She certainly has given us some mighty high ideals, for which we shall always be grateful. CHALMERS, WINIFRED 57 W. Trenelett Street President of A. A. 4 Vice-President of A.

W. C. A. Cabinet 4 French Club Art Club Psyche Agora Winnie was very helpful. She told us ex- actly what we wanted to know, and at the same time we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. While her fate is not sealed, like her room- mate Ruth’s is, Winnie expects to teach his- tory and English; preferably somewhere in the New England States. With Ruth, she is going to work in Filene’s this summer. Being quite new at the craft of salesmanship, Winnie declares that she will “sell anything.”’ Winnie is broad-minded enough not to want to teach more than one year, since she is not particularly interested. She wants above all to study architecture. Being a typically all-round girl, she is fond of camp and settlement work. She has been a swim- ming instructor .at Rainbow Camp in the Adirondacks. And she has done settlement work with working girls at Rosemary Cottage, Elliot, Maine. We wondered if she gave 1924 NIKE 29 COLLEY, ELIZABETH 6 Pleasant Street Classical Club Deutscher Verein Secretary Agora Psyche Rockport, Mass. Sitting in a little white chair, before a little white desk, we found her writing a poem about the pitter-patter of the raindrops. We felt awed and shy in the presence of the Muse, but at length we summoned courage to ask what were her chief delights in life. Would she say rose petals, or furry gray kittens, or thin purple clouds? Casually she looked up, and then she beamed. “Oh, I like speed boats best, and next to that racing cars, I guess!’’ Would you have believed it of Beth? Probably she will teach English and History next year. COSTELLO EOUISE 45 Campus Avenue Lewiston, Maine Cercle Francais Wo WY (Ca AL, Caloningic BB Silver Bay Delegate 3 Baseball 2, 3 Assistant Editor Record 4 We found our literary Louise reclining on her couch, after the manner of the old Romans. Of course, we expected to find her engrossed in Ovid’s Metamorphoses, or Dante’s Inferno, or something. Instead, we were shocked to discover the disgusting label “Seven Day Book!’’ Louise casually stuck her elbow over the title. Anyway, we knew it must be awfully interesting, for she pro- ceeded to interview us as rapidly as possible. It seemed to be a case of room versus com- pany. Louise is planning to teach English in a high school. She declares that she will go anywhere. Business, it seems, has been rather dull. “I’ve applied to about a million places,’ Louise told us with a sigh. (We venture to say, Louise, that if you will try a personal interview you won’t have any trouble at all!) NIKE 1924 COWLES, HOPE M: 42 Southbourne Road Jamaica Plain Science Club 2, 3, 4 Hope’s interest in science has kept her in Lab ever since she has been at Wheaton, and hence we know her but slightly. Her dislike for the gym and the tank has cropped out beyond her reserve, and our sympathy is entirely hers. Every week-end Hope’s car makes a mysterious appearance and dis- appearance. Upon her return ’we learn that she has been to the Cape. Sewing is a favorite pastime with Hope when she is not caring for white rats, or cleaning her room. We are confident that her motto has to do with cleanliness and Godliness. Next year is not yet definitely outlined in Hope’s mind, but whatever it may be, we are sure that it will be scientific.

Deutscher Verein Psyche Fran’s interests at Wheaton have been centered around the tank and the practice rooms in the gym. Next year, she will super- vise music in some school, wherever her room- mate can get a job. Her favorite pastime is chewing gum, in the meantime, compiling 64 songs for Senior serenades. This year, Fran has gained and lost 40 pounds. She has not yet submitted her recipe to the press, but we think that it will be in the interest of 2-6-0. When it comes to musical needs next year, we will miss Fran greatly; we wonder if she will ever miss us. 1924 NIKE 31 DE REVERE, MARY L. 356 St. Paul’s Avenue Staten Island, N. Y. Business Manager News 2, 3 Assistant News Editor 4 Cercle Francais Deutscher Verein Agora Nikky, with all of her eccentricities, has been a favorite campus figure for all four years. Her hobbies are mostly in the direc- tion of heroes and kittens, favorite of which is Willy. Unfortunately, Nikky resents any encroachment upon her pet interests, but has bravely scorned all criticisms. Witness, her nickname. We envy Nikky many things, far from least of these is her ‘‘drag’’ with Dr. West. She ‘has had some difficulty in growing her hair so that it might make her seem grown-up in her cap and gown. Nikky left us for one semester, to go to college in the big city and see the opera. We welcomed her back, unchanged by her ex- periences, and anxious to graduate with the remainder of the clan. DIGNEY, KATHERINE 19 Whitman Street Dorchester Center Debating Club—President 4—Vice-Presi- dent 3 House Chairman 4 Record Staff 4 Art Club Cercle Frang¢ais Diggy was long the smallest member of the class of 24, but she has recently added several inches to her stature, giving her only second place. Next year, she will be married, she hopes, in the college chapel. She claims that college has given her only two things: a knowl- edge of Italian, and the ability to bluff. She is, in other words, a self-made woman. Dig- gy’s interests in addition to matrimony are journalism and reading. Her residence down at Carpenter has set her apart from us more than we like, but we hope that next year she will come often and let us see more of her, and perhaps, a bit of her husband. 32 NIKE 1924 DINGWELL, LOUISE 340 Broadway Pawtucket, R. I. Vice-President 1923, 1 Art Club Cercle Francais Dingie’s sojourn with ’24 was a short one, and we are doubly glad that she can return and graduate with us. She says that it is very difficult to decide what to do for a living, but it is loads of fun to loaf. We have the feeling that Ding’s household training in col- lege will not be lost; in fact, it may very soon be put into practice. It has unfortunately been Ding’s fate to room in Stanton for the greater part of her college career, and for that reason her lamp has been hid under a bushel. We hope that her permanent abode will be somewhere in the vicinity of Norton, that we may see her the more often. DUMN, MIRIAM 136 N. Eleventh Street Reading, Pa. Debating Club—Vice-President 4 Glee Club Deutscher Verein Cercle Frangais Dumnie says she is very uninteresting, and for that reason, we found it difficult to gather statistics concerning her plans for the future. She plans to teach a year and then enter some business field. She has plans for starting a tea-room in her home town, or she may even have one on the Wheaton campus, where it is much needed. Dumnie favors week-ends, especially at Brown. She has long been the champion of | a good argument, and she has made good use of her powers along that line. 1924 NIKE 33 EDWARDS, ELEANOR 6 Taft Street Southbridge, Mass.

Werefer to Eddie and her train of loyal underclassmen. It was something like the case of Mary and her lamb, except that here “lamb’’ should be in a large-sized plural. Next year, Eleanor says she is going to work, and earn money, and attempt to save it. We take off our hats to her if she succeeds in the last. It is certainly a noble ambition. At present her hobby is china painting. Some day she intends to enter Pratt Institute and study interior decorating. Her college edu- cation ought to help her in that profession, for she has been chairman of the decorating committee for almost every function that has taken place since she first came to Wheaton. hieroglyphics in a straight line. We couldn’t quite picture a newspaper in China, either! “Of course, they have newspapers in Shang- hai, most cosmopolitan city in the world, second only to Paris—’’ Helen exploded. Well, anyway, if Helen succeeds only half as well as she has with our campus News, we will go all the way to China to read it! ESTES, HELEN J. Fort Fairfield Editor-in-Chief News 4 Assistant Editor News 3 Secretary Vocational Bureau 3 Treasurer Y. W.C. A. 2 Chairman Red Cross Committee 3 Chairman Student IndustrialCommittee 4 Class Hockey 3 Psyche Agora Class History 4 We found Helen in merry mood, contem- plating her two major aspirations for the sum- mer, viz. and namely—to test out her domes- ticity by keeping house at home, and to get back to the days of ‘‘Real Sport” by adjourn- ing to the “‘ole swimming hole!’’ ‘These ideas appeal to us first-rate, as we toil over our typewriter. We hope ‘‘Herc’’ will mix us some ice-cold lemonade when we come to see her. Helen expects to teach near Boston next winter. After wrestling with the News staft this year, Helen declared that she ‘‘wouldn’t teach an all girl class for anything!’ English and History are the two subjects in which Helen hopes to instruct the youthful mind. Helen says that before she came to college she had always thought she wanted to teach, but now she wants to work on a newspaper. On inquiring further, we were amazed to find that Helen aspires to work on said newspaper in China, where her father lives. Somehow, we couldn’t picture our Chief taking down Maine NIKE 1924 MIRIAM JANE FLARSHEIM 4610 Westminster St. St. Louis, Mo. Record Staff 3, 4 Classical Club 1 Swimming Team 1 We approached Miriam at an inauspicious moment, but she refused to be interrupted; “certain micro-organisms, particularly coc- cus, nitro-somonas are able to oxydize am- monia and nitrous acid—”’ heavens! Miriam, it seems, has the Bacteriology bug. It is a fatal malady. Polly kindly interviewed us for Miriam, or Miriam for us, we don’t know exactly what we mean—Miriam upset us considerably. Anyway, Polly affirms that she, Miriam, is going to the Katherine Gibbs Secretarial School next fall, where she will take an inten- sive course. (Intensive, did you say, Polly? Miriam’s health, you know, must be con- sidered.) Miriam chimed in, “It’s a seven months’ course, but I expect to do it in less” (long pause). ‘‘How?” ‘By working hard, of course!’” We begged Miriam’s pardon. After the course, we learned from Polly that Miriam expects to work in a publishing house in New York. (Strange how Miriam insists on being in New York!) Another long pause after this. Miriam: ‘‘Polly, after you have read this, will you please tell me what it’s all about!” ‘Much more important are the aerolic organ- isms, called ozotabacter—.”’ At this point we quietly withdrew, but we heard Miriam murmuring, as an afterthought, ‘‘Maybe I'll go into business with my father, and be trained in the grocery business like a boy.” We think it might be less fatiguing, Miriam!

Her chief interests have been in Bos- ton for week-ends and in the studio at other times. ‘‘Lord only knows’’ what she will do next year, but it will be in some private school. When we went to interview Gilkey she was doing Bible. She sheepishly confessed that she had not yet been able to pass the course, but with the help of ‘‘Children’s Shorter Bible Classics,’’ she hoped to make it this time. 1924 NIK 35 GLEDHILL, FLORENCE 102 S.

She is also herrival in taking week-ends. For the latter. reason she was elected head of the ushers, but she found it possible to discharge those duties and get away, besides. Next year, we imagine that Florence will continue along artistic lines, with the omis- sion of May Day costumes. She will not commit herself, but it may be in her own home. Florence is one of the hikers, an indefati- gable one at that. Taunton and back is a short trip. It has been whispered into our editorial ears that Florence is partial to green, and not for costumes, either.

That is to say, she knows exactly where she is going—in fact, she has actually arrived. In spite of Vocational Conferences and Personal Interview Persons, Ruth has decided to be different; that is to say, she is going to teach. She didn’t say she would like to teach, or that she hoped to teach; not Ruth. She merely announced that she had a position as instructor in mathematics and science at the Elizabeth,, New Hampshire High School for next fall. We feel that our athletic friend will have her hands full; for she tells us that there are 175 students in the high school, with 7 teachers. . No doubt, Ruth’s gym training will come in handy. Ruth has also an eye to her present needs, and future aspirations. This summer she will work in Filene’s Store, in Boston, which she believes will be quite an experience. And after she has taught for a few years, Ruth hopes to study medicine. If she ‘‘carries on”’ as well in the world as she has at Wheaton, we prophesy all success, and more of it.

Cabinet Psyche Spanish Club Cercle Francais Art Club Choir We have interviewed Seniors who are going to teach because their parents want them to, and Seniors who are going to teach because it is the only thing they think they can do, but Carol is the first one who has told us, right off the bat, that she is going to teach because she wants to! Moreover, Carol has the right attitude (we think), because she does not burn with a desire to impart to hungry Youth all the knowledge she has gleaned along with her A.B., but because she wants to work with young people. She is not particular about where she teaches, although she would like to be near enough to come out to Wheaton often; which we think is another fine idea. After she has taught for awhile, Carol hopes to take up advanced social service work, or educational theory; perhaps at the University of Wis- consin. Being House Chairman for Metcalf has not dulled Carol’s enthusiasm for responsibility, for this summer she wants to organize a playground in her home town, Skowhegan. We found Carol equipped for most any- thing; attired in middy and sporty checkered knickers, topped off with gay plaid hose. Any- way, we are sure she will succeed in whatever she does!

This summer she is going abroad, and then she will try something new in the line of occupational therapy,at Miss Prince’s School. Ted has long been a devotee of the house party. She has found them entertaining but rather tiring after the regular routine of college life, and living in Cragin. Ted’s enthusiasm will be much missed next year, from the hockey field to Larcom Parlor. Someone whispered in our ear that Ted has too many attachments here to be entirely severed from Wheaton ties so soon. We hope that this is true. 1924 NIKE 37 HARDY, MARION 150 Chestnut Street Campello, Mass. Art Club Cercle Frangais Spanish Club It all goes to show what a college education can do for a girl. When Marion first came to Wheaton, she loathed walking. She might be teased, pleaded with, entreated; it was no use. She would not go farther than the Nor- ton Post Office, and then she thought herself a martyr. Can you then imagine this same young lady, during her Senior year, zealously hiking three hundred and ten miles to win a Wheaton ‘‘We”’ It’strue. But she has not yet reached the place where she can truthfully say she enjoys swimming. This next year, Marion is going to teach English and History at Mt. Ida School in Newton. HEDDEN, NATALIE 2 Grove Place East Orange, N. J. Cercle Frangais Art Club Choir Barnard College 3 Nat left us last year to be sure that Wheaton was the place for her, which she did. Her career here has been a rather sketchy one, interspersed with cheer leading and stunt directing. Nat is what we call a model stu- dent. She never shirks her Philosophy, but she has time for week-ends and friends, too. Next year, Nat is going to Mrs. Gibb’s School in Boston. Peg says for effect and to find a suitable place to send her children. This summer she will go abroad, supposedly to appreciate the things about which she learned in art. We imagine, however, that the most of her time will be occupied with purchasing a trousseau. We will miss Nat for her gay, breezy self. We hope that she will visit us often.

Next year, Fran is going to work in some advertising enterprise and attend Art School in the afternoons. In the meantime, she will probably work on plans for a cottage, and apply all of the knowledge which she has acquired in Art 7, and Household manage- ment. HOWLAND, MARION 340 Wilson Road Glee Club Spanish Club Cercle Frangais Psyche We found Marion reading “Innocence Abroad.’’ She regarded us dreamily out of her round gray eyes. We took up our pen, pre- pared to write down ‘‘African Explorer,” or “Fiji Island Dancer’’ or something wild. But Marion broke the news to us as gently as she could; the fact is—she is going to teach! .We discovered that Marion is one of those rare creatures who is following out her life’s am- bition, for she has always wanted to teach. While she prefers the New England State§, Marion declares she will “‘go anywhere, if there is money in it.’’ (Marion, we are sur- prised at this mercenary spirit!) Marion said that she enjoyed the novel course more than any other course at college, which helped us to settle one subject in our schedule for next year. But our Senior only yawned, for what interest had she in schedules for next year? Fall River 1924 NIKE 39 JENKS, DOROTHY Attleboro Mass. Cercle Frangais Spanish Club Psyche Here is a paradox. The young lady de- clares her greatest ambition in life is not to get married; very appropriately, too, she adores cats, oh! lots and lots of them. Last winter she had ten; now she has only five, alas! However, Hannibal and Jerusha, her favor- ites, are among the five left, so that makes up somewhat for the loss of the others. But— ay! here’s the rub—she detests tea. To like cats and dislike tea! Can anyone explain such a phenomena?. Dot expects to teach French next year. Eventually, she says, she would like to study public health nursing. ’ KANE, REGINA 3301 North New Jersey St. Indianapolis, Ind.

Said queen regarded us placidly, while we spoke our little piece. “I’m just going to be very busy—getting ready to be married, in August, I hope—.”’ Somehow, we can’t imagine our Jean being “awfully busy,’ frantically busy, we mean, but we hope we can be there, for Jean assures us that the wedding is going to be ‘‘Just lots of fun!” After much prodding, at length, we learned the prosaic details—Jean is going to live in Ann Arbor, Michigan, for two years, until “Tom” is through medical school, then they will move to Elyria, ‘‘where Jo lives.” (Deuced clever idea, what?’’) Whereupon, we left Jean to rule over her little kingdom of alluring photographs, sweet- peas, and such trifles, crowned with the afore- said golden crown. And for a sceptre, shall we name—a diamond?

Her other great passion is for cleaning silver, they say. She herself de- clares, however, that she has no hobbies, likes a little of everything, and detests extremes. Eddie has been much preoccupied all year. She claims to have no other plans for the future other than being married this summer. Well! We should say that was quite enough.

Domestically inclined?” we cried. : “Say, looka here,’’ Evie expostulated, “these are Roxie’s! Can you picture me tat- New Jersey ting?” We respected Evie’s tone of voice, and grew serious. Evie withered under our threats. “Golly, I don’t know what I’m going to do next year, just jazz around, I guess—Golly, I’m beginning to get scared.”’ “Gee, these interviews are hell—”’ and Evie savagely broke a knitting needle in two. Poor Roxie! Here Evie stuffed one foot into the crammed scrap-basket. ‘‘Honest, straight goods, how should I know?” (Awful pause, this stumped us. How, indeed?) ‘Having no future, you had better write about my past.’”’ Thus spoke Evie. We hate to think of the Hungry Future creeping up and swallowing Evie. Looking at her athletic feats, we venture to suggest that she would make a first-rate Life-Saver down at—guess where—New London, and shall we add—Heart-Breaker?

Cabinet 4 Student Council 4 Cercle Francais Psyche It seemed fitting that we should interview our budding genius in the literary atmosphere of the Record tea. Over the rattle of tea cups, and the genteel rumble of conversation, Elaine murmered to us of the book of verse she is writing. While Elaine frankly says that her degree depends on this book, since it represents her course in English II, she did not appear terribly worried as to the outcome, (and no more do we!) It will be called, ‘‘The Story of a Girl,’ and will con- tain original verses that the author has been inspired to write from time to time. We inquired into the why of the wherefore, and found that Elaine writes sometimes after long thinking, and sometimes just on the inspiration of the moment, like all true gen- iuses! We feel that this is always a sure sign, Elaine! The chapel and the campus at sunset is a subject that Elaine has long tried to express in words. We believe that perhaps the scene will come back to her more poig- nantly next year. We certainly would like to have such a poem. For more reasons than one, we were not surprised to learn that Verse has been the course that Elaine has enjoyed the most at Wheaton. We wish our Editor-in-Chief and her verses the very best of luck!

We apologized. ‘Poor Polly!” As far as the summer is concerned, Polly’s mind is a blank. The idea appealed to her immensely. She rallied: long enough to tell us of her future plans. Next winter she is going to start her med- ical career at the Women’s Medical College, Philadelphia. After completing the four- year course, she hopes to go to Vienna. But we are anticipating—before she starts study- ing abroad, she is counting on six months of vacationing in the Swiss Alps. We shivered at the idea, but popped our questions hurriedly, least Polly should fall asleep again. “Yes, it’s hereditary. My father wanted to, and couldn’t.” “The only idea that hasn’t changed!”’ Both of which we concluded referred to the prospect of Polly’s future M.D. We hope she will come around and try her skill resuscitating us when we finish our inter- views!

It is Lordy’s greates pride in life, greates, that is next to her brother and her psyche pin and driving her car. She is exceedingly fond of music, and is expert in singing and at the piano, too. Helen is never one who boasts her achievements, how- ever, and usually she is very quiet.

Next year, she wants to teach, and do it somewhere that she will not need to arise so early. She wishes to teach History,so that she may apply some of the much knowledge which she has acquired in her teacher’s course, in Agora, and from traveling on the Mansfield trolley. Jean is especially interested in club activi- ties, and has joined a varied group of them, as her list of accomplishments shows. She has been too far away to engage in other kinds of college activities, much to our regret.

Who can blame her; cooking is ever so much more interesting. And in these days of delicatessen shops and cafeterias, we believe that if anyone finds a really, truly, honest to John, good cook, she ought to be humored and not be made to clean if she doesn’t want to. This particular cook is very much of an athlete, also. Per- haps there is some similarity between swinging a rolling pin, and swinging a hockey stick. We have had good evidence of how expert she is at the latter. Margaret is looking forward very excitedly to this summer when her family will return from India, where her father has been a mis- sionary for fifty years.

Next year, Mary will do social service work, and perhaps a smattering of journalism. We hope that she will continue to court the muse, for we have enjoyed the bits of prose and verse which she has given us from time to time. Mary owns ’24’s mascot, Annabelle Lee, who has recently appeared in cap and gown.

Cercle Frangais Deutscher Verein Studio Club Art Club We concluded at once that the intellectual bee was buzzing in Rhona’s Easter bonnet, for right off the bat she told us that she wants to study at the University of California next year. Rhona says she has been at prep school ever since she was twelve. We are afraid she has got the habit. : Her mother wants her to teach. At the thought, Rhona experienced a change of heart. “T’m all for traveling, myself.”’ “Gee whiz! When I study for exams— Good-night!”’ “Maybe I'll just play around next year.” We are afraid that we struck Rhona at the end of a particularly hard day, but we know that whatever she does next year, she will keep everybody about her happy—whether she works, or “‘just plays.” 1924 NIKE 45 McEWAN, RUTH 421 West High Street Hoboken, N.

Most likely, also she will ex- pound to you the excellencies of the Demo- cratic party platform. Beware of disputing her, for it is said that in argument she is invincible. Her ability in this line will be valuable to her in the future, for next fall she plans to enter law school.

She declares that long papers are the bane of her existence, but then, she will soon be having the pleasure of making others write long papers for her, if she carries out her present plan of teaching English next year.

Alta said that she decided a long time ago that if she ever taught, it would be math. On a pinch, she said, she might ‘‘make a try at physics.”’ Somehow, we feel that Alta does not look severe enough for the traditional teacher— even when she put on huge tortoise-shell spectacles, we failed to be impressed, because her blue eyes, (‘‘mild, you'll like ’em’’), simply couldn’t help sparkling behind them. This summer, Alta expects to stay at home, and put her Household Ec. into practise. After the ‘‘strenuosities’’ of being house chairman, and obtaining a degree are over, Alta expects to take vocal lessons. No doubt she is planning to charm her pupils after the manner of the Sibyl!

Perhaps she will instruct her pupils in the intricacies of tennis, her pet sport, at the same time! On second thought, ‘‘Min’”’ said she might stay at home and tutor. Of course, New Jersey is only a step from New York, so perhaps our heroine is not so perverse, after all. We hope she will come back to Wheaton next year, and tell us all about it. 52 NIKE 1924 RANDOLPH, DOROTHY 8173 S. 48th Street Classical Club Deutscher Verein Art Club Dit is the girl who is with us periodically. We admire her pluck and stick-to-it-iveness. Next year she is going to loaf and enter Ger- mantown society, since she has recently moved her place of residence there from Washington. She says that she was tired of diplomatic circles and the heat. We wonder if she has improved her condition! We have all gazed longingly at Dit’s hair, and wondered why it is that some can have and others be absolutely devoid of. When Dit gets around to doing something for a living we imagine that it will be running a tea-room, so skilled is she in the art of manipulating a toaster, and a tea-ball. We are fortunate to have Dit in '24, and we hope that she has enjoyed us. West Philadelphia, Pa. REID, MARGARET 56 Fruit Street Worcester, Mass.

And finally, she said that she likes tennis and swimming. To come down to more prosaic matters, Peg expects to teach English and History somewhere next year. 1924 Noleke Bo 53 REYNOLDS, MURIEL E. 81 Easton Avenue Waterbury, Conn.

Oh, dear, I’ve lost my ticket,’’ we heard in a mournful wail, and then, a minute later, ‘‘Oh, here it is! Bye.” A streak of bright green was disappearing through the gate of Wheaton. Whatever Muriel decides to do next year— she said banking, but it took her ten minutes to think of it, so we have suspicions that she is not so very certain—whatever it is, she will certainly have good experience behind her, for she has been just about the busiest person around college; and if there is anything she has not tried, we should like to know what it is. This last year, she has been teaching at the Norton schools, in between times, “‘just for fun.” ROBINSON, OLIVIA 152 Nassau Street Princeton, N. J. Student Council 4 House Chairman 4 Nike Staff 3 I. C.S. A. Cabinet 3 Student Choir Director 3 Glee Club Choir Art Club We attempted to interview Olivia as she hurried for the Attleboro car, but we gathered nothing more than the fact that she is going to Miss Prince’s next winter. Again, we tried to see her, but she had just received a box of chocolates, which made it impossible for us to gather any coherent ideas. Olivia has made a distinctly valuable contribution in her services in choir and as house chairman, especially in view of the fact that she worked at a distinct disadvantage. Such is the reputation of Cragin. Olivia’s good disposition has ever been admired and envied by all of us. No amount of teasing can ruffle her, nor any undue noise disturb her. We wish that house chairmen such as she were more plentiful. SAVAGE. HELEN A: 247 Liberty Street Class President 4 Dramatic Committee 4 Vice-President College Government 3 U. F. R. 3—Assistant 2 Y.

We tried vainly to interview Helen, but she was always conducting meetings in the interest of May Day or rehearsing for some old-man part in the coming dramatics. At last, we found her shampooing her room- mate’s hair, and she was pleased to tell us that next year she will teach, either English or History or both. She plans to rest during the summer for several reasons. Her family desires to become re-acquainted with her, and she will need considerable time to get her snapshots pasted into an album. Helen has always had a mania for them, and her col- lection is an excellent one. Helen’s duties as class president have been most attractively discharged, and this honor is only one of many which she has had and we are confident, will have. SAWYER, EDITH 83 Albert Avenue Edgewood, R..I. Hiking Committee 4 Deutscher Verein Art Club Science Club For one year, Edith is going to have a really good time. ‘“‘Just stay home, and entertain, and be entertained, and go to oodles of parties and plays, and join the Parent-Teacher’s As- sociation!’ We were envious until she men- tioned the last, but perhaps we do not rightly appreciate the pleasure to be gained from membership in such a worthy organization. She is undecided as to what she will do after she has had her “really good time.” Perhaps she will go into business, or teach, or study more mathematics. Whatever she does, she hopes she will be near the ocean, so that she can go sailing often, because that’s: the best fun there is, next to breaking the speed laws in an automobile. 1924 NIKE ‘Ns SAWYER, JEANETTE Mill Bridge House Chairman 4 Classical Club—President 4 Class President 3 Spanish Club—Secretary-Treasurer 2 Psyche Maine Jeanette wishes to become a pedagogue or perhaps teach Latin. In fact, she does not mind what she does, providing there are no house-meetings involved. We would say that she is an all-round girl. She can cook, do Latin prose and manage Sutts all at the same time, which means that she is clever. She is so modest that she would not tell us much about herself except that she is in- terested in the stage, force of habit we would say, so frequent are the performances which take place in her room. Jeanette has figured frequently and well in the doings of ’24, and she says that she has enjoyed it all. We are sure that we owe her many thanks. SIMMS, MARGARET JANE 600 Marion Street Denver, Colorado Entertainment Chairman 4 News Staff 4 Colorado University 1, 2 Margaret Jane received us graciously in a purple negligée. We found that, contrary to the majority of Seniors, our Entertainment Chairman had quite definite plans for the future. “‘M. J.’ sparkled her diamond at us; ‘Yes,’ she is to be married this summer, the end of August, in fact. “UM-HUM.” And she is to live in Denver, where her hus- band will soon become the leading attorney. “Will it be a church wedding?” “Uh-huh, just ‘medium big.’ ”’ We further gleaned the fact that ‘‘M. J.” will recuperate from the strain of graduation at the Delta Gamma Convention in Estes Park, Colorado. We wish you and “John”’ the best of luck, Margaret Jane! NIKE 1924 SINCOCK, ELIZABETH 29 South Main Street Caribou, Maine Classical Club Maine Club Deutscher Verein Art Club Betty’s immortal words in Senior gym class will always be remembered. Feeling the dig- nity of the occasion and her position, she ejaculated—‘‘Feet behind, neck place!” Next year Betty is going to Columbia, after a summer in her father’s office. We were unable to discover what she wishes to take up, as she is going just to be with Martha. Perhaps it will be Household Ec. Betty is seldom with us for week-ends, which fact points toward a short career for her. Her interests are varied, extending all the way from bridge to tennis, including a hobby for pretty clothes, of which she has many. The third floor Larcom Senior suite will miss Betty, as will the rest of us. Perhaps she will take up a permanent residence nearby! SINEY, STEPHANIE 607 Fifth Street Brooklyn, N. Y. Associate Editor Record 4 Assistant Parrot Editor 4 Art Club Having settled ‘‘M. J’S”’ future in our edi- torial mind, we attempted to interview “Steve,’’ who struck a statuesque pose in the doorway. But we refused to be impressed by our dignified Stephanie, attired ‘‘pour le temps”’ in a pink bathrobe, with her golden locks screwed into a top-knot, and her face shining brightly from too much soap. “What am I[ going to do next year? should I know?” “Going to teach, perhaps?”’ (We tried a leading question.) “Heavens, no!’ And Steve wagged an accusing forefinger at us. “Just going to putter ’round New York, I guess.” Here Steve’s top-knot wiggled in antici- pation. We giggled and fled; but we couldn’t help speculating on the “Ps and Qs”’ of the situation. How 1924 NIKE 57, SNOW, MARGARET 63 Masonic Street Rockland, Maine President Y. W. C.

She was rather vague about the details, regarding us with a sleepy, detached look. (We had interrupted her afternoon nap.) Poor ‘“‘Snowy”’! Since she is a ‘‘Maniac,”’ “‘Snowy’’ wants to teach in her native state. The exact location seems to be any high school that will take her! When she further informed us that she is planning to conduct an orphanage when she is forty, we couldn’t make out whether our Y. W. president was fully awake, or talking in her sleep! Anyway, we are willing to bet a Wheaton roll that it will be a mighty popular resort!

I ordered a novel by Dorothy Canfield, and I get a scientific treatise on Girls Careers. They’ve got my number sure.”’ “Now what did you want to know about Nike? J’ll tell you this much, it’s an awful job to get the glossy prints.”’ Soliday had a disconcerting experience, just recently, which furthered the popular theory that you can’t keep a good man down. We cannot pass lightly over the mention of an acquaintance who writes illustrated letters, postmarked Switzerland. Dedham NIKE 1924 STONE, DORIS 21 Clover Street Cercle Francais Spanish Club Art Club Doris confessed that four years of college life had not brought her any nearer her life’s work. In fact, it has only increased its pos- sibilities. She is quite ‘““‘Up a tree.’”’ We can’t help feeling that she has chosen several wise alternatives to consider. First on her list is Miss Prince’s School for Salesmanship, with the ultimate aim of being a Paris buyer. Doris is especially interested in gowns and children’s dresses. We con- cluded that with her persuasive ways, she would be equally successful at either. On the other hand, Doris is interested in a secretarial school, which fits one to be a social secretary. And as a last resort, Doris has decided to ship to almost any port as a governess—‘‘just to travel.’’ After spending four years in the metropolis of Norton, one would almost pre- scribe the quiet country—still, there is no accounting for tastes!

For instance, she believes that the study of the Bible should be introduced into the pri- mary grades, and intends to spend her life putting her ideal into practise. She thinks that college girls should make themselves pop- ular with the townspeople and take an interest in outside affairs. And when it comes to giving exercises in the gym, her strong con- victions simply run away with her, and inci- - dentally everyone else has to toe the mark. “Bridge,’’ says Suts, ‘‘is my favorite pas- time.’’ But hush! we have heard it rumored that she has an exceeding fondness for saloons and cabarets. Probably, though, it is only a sociological interest. 1924 NIKE oy) THOMPSON, HELEN MAY 8 Intervale Terrace Reading, Mass.

Helen is one of those peculiar individuals who be- lieves in being ‘“‘different,’’ for she informed us that she is going to teach. We evinced great surprise at this statement, it was so sudden, but we should be hardened to such unexpected utterances by now. However, Helen was quite firm about it. She expects to teach English and French. If she had her choice, she would pick a good-sized high school near Boston. The English Department will hold up its hands in horror when it hears Helen’s point of view on the two subjects: “French is so much more definite than English.”’ We think that after Helen has ta ught for twenty years or more, she will discover that English is entirely too definite. We invite her to burn the midnight oil with us, while we toil over the intricacies of English gram- mar, the eccentricities of English punctuation, and the inadequateness of the English lan- guage. We wish to goodness it were anything but definite! Nous verrons, Helene!

C. ought not to allow it. The girls will simply be “oreen with envy,’’ and the boys will be lost in admiration, and then where will Mr. Virgil and old Horace be? Personally, we would prefer to see Grace’s tresses assisting in an esthetic dance, or shining forth in a shop window, advertising “Golden Glow’ hair tonic, or something where it would be best appreciated. Still — there is no accounting for tastes! Grace’s cute little drawl will be in pleasing contrast to the customary shrill New England voice which we associate with our ‘“‘dear old school days.’’ We wish you the very best of luck, Grace.

Helen says it was all in the interest of science, and not to be lightly laughed at. For next year she has a teaching-scholarship at Brown to continue her study of Zodlogy.

We made another attempt at an interview, but the faint strains of the Prelude died away and Katey headed the line to march in.

She loves horseback riding, and she has ever been handy-man at the West’s whenever there is a tea or reception there. Marion says her greatest ambition in life is to make a walking tour around the world, stopping for a considerable length of time at Cairo. Perhaps she intends to write a book, “Psychological Studies of a Sheik.” At least, part of her ambition will be realized in a trip abroad, this summer, with her family.

THE CLASS oF 1924: Mary E. McDowell. 66 ee NIKE ehh Bahl Miss 1924 Interviews the Audience How do you do! I am Miss 1924, and I’ve just finished college — Wheaton College in Norton, Massachusetts, you know. As I’m looking for a position, I decided to interview you. Having been through Wheaton, there are so many professions for which I am eligible, that I can’t decide what I am best fitted for. I'll just tell you all about myself so that you can decide what kind of position you'd like to give me. I realize how important it is for one who wishes to make a name for herself in any profession to have a wide and varied background. I can say frankly that my formal education has been that — wide and varied. Among all my courses perhaps those of my first year at Wheaton stand out most distinctly. In Freshman English after memorizing Barrett Wendell’s book and learning “How the French Boy Learns to Write,’ I myself ran the whole gamut of literary production; a long exposition, an equally long short story, an extremely literary criticism, and a movie scenario. French III, although hard, was a course in which I might have done very well, except for the fact that I could never understand the assignments given in French. On the other hand, Zodlogy was a revelation to me, from the amceba’s shimmy to the frog’s ce- sophagus I felt that I became well acquainted with the world we live in. One of the most practical courses was Freshman Hygiene; we learned what to do when anyone fainted — although when Eddie Edwards fainted during the following lecture and we all rushed up to give a practical demonstration of our knowledge, we were explicitly told to ‘Stand back and let her alone.” The memories of Biblical Literature include the dramatization of ‘“The Book of Ruth,’’ with Helen Savage as Ruth and Muriel Reynolds, robed in a bright couch cover, as Boaz. Before the final examination in Bible, Mrs. Webster told us the anecdote of the Theology student who, not knowing the answer to one question, substituted the list of the Kings of Israel and Judea. After this timely warning, Mrs. Webster in our own exam asked for the list of Kings. Miss Evie Kyle didn’t know the list of Kings, but profiting by the anecdote, gave a dozen memory verses as a peace offering. It was in Bible class that Miriam Flarsheim, return- ing late from the Easter vacation, paused in the doorway while her classmates gasped, for Miriam had bobbed her hair! That was in the dim ages when short hair was not common, but Miriam proceeded to make it more common by bobbing Elaine LeClair and everyone else who would let her—until Miss Everett stopped the barbecue. During my Sophomore year, I attended the lectures and examinations for English Lit. I, and took up my residence in the Library to do the outside reading. Never shall I forget ‘The Pauvre Widwe somwhat stope in age,’’ “Cover her face, mine eyes dazzle, she died young,” or “All for Love or The World Well Lost In Household Economics some of us were really pretty good. One day when we made gingerbread, Chris Webber was so unfortunate as to drop hers in the dishwater. Said Mrs. Webster, “It’s a good recommendation if it floats.”’ First-year Art was characterized by several trips into Boston, twice to the Museum to see the mummies or the dismembered figures of the Parthenon frieze, and once to stand on the curbstone to the great interest of passers-by and draw in detail the facade of Trinity Church and the Public Library. You see what I mean when I say that my education has been very inclusive. Among my special courses was one in Business Law in which I learned that some people have female daughters, as well as what kind of a contract to make BNi KES ie 67 1924 if I wished to buy Mr. Harrigan’s watch. Our knowledge of contracts did not help us when we contracted this year to have our pictures taken—but from now on we realize that it is far better for both parties to have a contract. I feel that my various courses with Dr. MacIntire received an unusual reward. Not only did I work brain fast and furiously at intervals, but I had the satis- faction of waiting and watching for something to come to pass and at last it came. Dr. MaclIntire uses his nose glasses for two purposes — once in a while he puts them on his nose, but more often he snaps them to his forefinger and uses the finger for gesticulation. All through Psychology I, all through Ethics, all through Comparative and Social Psychology and first semester of Philosophy V, I watched for those glasses to drop — and this semester one day they dropped! No, they didn’t break. Speaking of Philosophy V, there is a course which should be useful to one in my place in the business world. After understanding that ‘‘the intellect infusing and extending something of its own into matter, restless and moveless in itself, produces all things,’’ as Bruno says, and that Leibnitz has proved that; ‘As to spirits, or rational souls, although I find that at bottom the same principle which I have stated — namely, that animals and souls begin with the world and end only with the world—holds true with regard to all animals and living things, yet there is this peculiarity in rational animals, that although their spermatic animalcules, as such, have only ordinary or sensitive souls, yet as soon as those of them which are, so to speak, elected, arrive by the act of con- ception at human nature, their sensitive souls are elevated to the rank of reason and to the prerogative of spirits.” Of course this does not cover my four years’ work, but I’ve just given you a brief idea of a few of the things I know from my different courses. We are often told that a college education is not mere book learning and I’m sure that you will agree to that. One of the most valuable things which I shall have received from college is my social training. Like my courses of study, this part of my education has been considerably varied. It has been of both negative and positive value. The negative value has come from the criticisms of some of our attempts at being entertaining. Never, after our first Christmas stunt, would we present a dormitory scene in which the characters are too realistically in negligée nor too adept at the Hoola-Hoola. Since Founder’s Day Sophomore year we have come to the conclusion that an evening dress in a college stunt would be more apropos if it revealed less of the human form than did that of our model. Our take-offs on the faculty Junior year were taken off the vaudeville program before the performance. This also was instructive. But the greater part of our training in society has been positive. It began very soon after 1924 arrived at Wheaton. First the Welcome Party where, although we were given a right good time, our characteristics, possibilities and gaucheries were observed and classified with a view to correcting such faults as forwardness, too high a degree of self-esteem, or an insistence upon our own likes and dislikes. Two flagrant examples of this untrained self-expression were the girl who, when asked if she could play hockey well, replied, ‘“‘You bet your life,’ and the damsel who objected to sweeping her room with the potent words, “T’m a Clough, what would the servants say?”’ The correcting of these little faults was begun in a friendly manner at the Hallowe’en Party, where some members of the class received more attention than others. The instructions ranged from formal introductions to the Fly family and the Queen of Sheba to directions as to correct deportment when in an airplane or in Bluebeard’s Chamber. 68 CAO ENGIEKS E Re Sey After the Hallowe’en Party came the circus, where we saw for the first time the good old giraffe with the moth holes in his skin, Eddie Kleinmayer as the Snake Charmer, and other attractions. Although she did not appear on the program, we will always remember the time when we saw Margaret Snow, her clothes stuffed with pillows and an infinitesimal but befeathered hat on her head, sliding down the chute. Considerable social experience has been obtained from the special dinners, among them the Campaign Dinners. It was during our Freshman year that the Endowment Campaign was launched. We needed a new dormitory, the books of our library were crowded underneath the chapel, and there was an imperative call for more buildings and equipment. When 1924 conducted her campaign dinner, she gave a prophecy. Substituting a green balloon for a crystal gazing ball she sang, “‘I see a vision fair and bright, etc.’’ Now I’m sure that anyone whose prophecies come true, as did those of 1924 prophesying the completion of Stanton and the Library, would be valuable to any profession. One of the most exciting social occasions of Freshman year was the reception given by Mr. and Mrs. Wheaton College to announce the engagement of Mr. 1922 to Miss 1924. This was the first of the Sister-Class parties which have formed some of our happiest memories. In Sophomore year, 1922 gave a party to present to ’24 the privilege of wearing her class rings. This was the children’s party in which we blew soap bubbles and played hunt the ring and finally were told the story of our own Pegasus, the winged horse, who was to carry us along the road to knowledge. In Junior year, the party was given not by our older sisters, 22. but by our young sisters, 26. This was a beautiful Valentine party, with hearts and cupids galore. This year, ’26 gave ’24 a unique and amusing party. Everyone was dressed as an advertisement, Martha Oliver winning the prize as the Williams Shaving Cream Man. The tableaux on the stage showed us “A Skin You. Love To Touch,” ‘The Dutch Cleanser Song and Dance,” “Time to Retire,’ and others of note. This party of course gave us considerable insight into the psychology of advertising, which I am sure will be an asset in our. business life. I trust that you’ll not think me conceited if I say that the parties which 1924 has given to her sisters have been marked by at least one distinctive feature. For three out of the four parties we borrowed all the couch covers in college. Two of the parties were Turkish. Having presented the Harem to ’22 when we were Freshmen, and not wishing to deprive ’26 of the pleasure, we repeated it last year. Helen Savage has twice played the part of Sultan, twice has the gym been obscured with the borrowed ‘‘tapestry’’ hangings aforementioned. Sophomore year was a May Party with the gym decorated by innumerable strips of pink and white paper and a canopy of ground pine which threatened momentarily to descend. This year the couch covers represented a gypsy camp, at which the fortune-teller, '24’s president, foretold a happy future to 1926 as Pegasus passed on to her. Announcing the Honorary members of a class on a night of pouring rain and sleet is a social experience which no college graduate should be without. Each year has brought us a pleasant social event in the reception to the class by President and Mrs. Cole. This spring brought the invitation extended by Miss Cornish to attend a concert at the House In The Pines, which was accepted with pleasure, and the concert was greatly enjoyed. Lest we should become one-sided, we have given three formal dances to get acquainted with the opposite sex. Sophomore Hop was preceded by the most harrowing experiences, which I am happy to say 1924 overcame trium- phantly. The play which was to be given in the afternoon of the big day, ‘The 1924 NIKE 69 Admirable Crichton,’ was withdrawn from amateur production three days before it was to be presented here. Only Miss Robinson’s personal influence, vigorously exercised by telegraph, obtained for us the necessary permission to go on with the performance. The next dilemma was the decorations which were to be sent in ample time for us to disguise the gym before Saturday. But they came not. After telephoning every possible store and express company and failing to locate them, Fran Hill taxied to Framingham early Saturday morning to get new ones, but the taxi had three tire blow-outs on the way over, and the deco- rations didn’t arrive until noon. Our Sister-Class and many kind souls from other classes turned out to help us get the decorations up before the afternoon’s performance. Junior Prom was distinguished by the failure of the orchestra to appear until the matinée dance was almost finished. Otherwise, ‘‘a good time was had pyeall:”. When the time came for Senior Dance, a comparatively few members of 1924 felt that they needed further social training, but those who did profit by the opportunity were well repaid. Of course an all-round person must take part in athletics and although you may not care to give me a position in which I would be required to play hockey, baseball or basketball, still I feel that you would be interested in my progress in that line. Freshman year we had two members, Win Chalmers and Teddy Hale, on the varsity hockey team which defeated the team from Sargent, the first defeat which that school had had for seven years. The rest of the class exercised their voices in loud and continuous cheering. Junior year our class team almost won the hockey series — Almost, but not quite. But we did win the basketball and tennis. As for baseball, we have won the baseball series every year. In this, our last year, our class teams have been uniformly victorious in both the hockey and basketball, as well as our usual victories. In our Freshman year we lost the Gym Meet to the Sophomores, although Teddy Hale was only a half point behind the Sophomore, who was the individual winner. The next year we won the whole meet and Win Chalmers reserved the individual honors for herself. It was during Sophomore year that we all had to pass our swimming tests. To those of you who dive with grace and swim with ease, this test may not seem the nightmare which it was to some of us. We waded around the shallow end of the pool, we one-two-three-foured while lying on our stomachs on the dry floor, and at last we obtained a more or less acceptable degree of proficiency in three strokes, one dive, and two distance swims. We have marched and countermarched and evaded, we have dumb-belled, waved wands, and swung Indian Clubs, we have squatted and stretched and tip-toed for three years in Gym classes, but never until our own classmates took the class this year did we receive orders such as, ‘“‘Feet behind neck, place, and knees raise.” Health, a requisite for every man and woman who earns a living or a half- living, is something which we pursue diligently. Practically half the class was under training rules most of the year for first, second, and third teams in hockey or basketball, and fully 6624 per cent have paced the surrounding country for miles trying to obtain a Hiking “W.” Good judgment is a quality which I’m sure you will require. I know of 700 tena ae put Ne IN Ke ES Se 1924 no better proof of the excellent judgment of 1924 than to read you a list of her class officers and honorary members. FRESHMAN YEAR: Elizabeth Soliday, Margaret Snow, Lucille Curtis, Anne Wrye, Christie Webber. SOPHOMORE YEAR: Dorothy Partridge, Muriel Reynolds, Francis Hill, Sarah | Abbe, Mary MacDowell. Junior YEAR: Jeanette Sawyer, Emily Vigue, Marian Woodbridge, Alice Miller, Margaret Hale. SENIOR YEAR: Helen Savage, Florence Gledhill, Rachel Pike, Mary Otis, Frances Cushing. Our honorary members are: Mrs. Calvin Coolidge, Dean Agnes R. Riddell, Dr. Alice S. Gipson, Miss Sarah B. Young, Profes sor Auguste L. Pouleur. Among other things, perhaps you’d care to hear about 1924’s business ability. As a class we have raised $748.14 for our campaign fund. Freshman and Sophomore year our reputation for our Food Shop and our catering was so widespread that a picture was taken for the Boston Herald, showing Evie Kyle, Chris Webber, and Nat Hedden eating our famous hot dogs. That year we collected a quarter for every demerit any one of our classmates received. We sent our basketball team to play with a team at Swampscott and obtained a goodly sum of 2-6-0, — although our team was overwhelmingly whitewashed and beaten. Another extremely profitable bit of business was connected with Brockton Fair. Last year we had a booth at the fair at which we sold candy, made in Household Economics Laboratory, with great endurance at resisting the temp- tation to eat up our profits. At the same time we conducted a ‘“‘tag-week”’ and held up all the cars going through Norton to the fair. We learned a lot about human nature. It was most often the drivers of big trucks who gave us the dollar bills, while the dimes came from the more expensive models. We certainly made life miserable for the people who had to pass frequently through the center on business. But tho’ the means were akin to highway robbery, the end was very profitable. Among our more intellectual means of increasing our campaign fund, a reading of the ‘‘Doll’s House,” the concert given under 1924’s auspices by the Harvard Musical Clubs, Sophomore year and this year’s series of lectures by Miss Avery on Current Events. Besides these class activities several individual members have filled their pledge of $260 by various things, from holding a rummage sale to giving a lawn féte, managing dances and accepting philanthropic gifts. The musical ability of 1924 has not received much recognition at Wheaton, strange to say. Our very first appearance as a chorus was on the night when our Sister-Class surprised us by announcing its officers before we had rehearsed our serenade songs. A hasty rehearsal was staged in the Gym at 9:30, and at a little after ten, 1924 for the first time went out to sing. We began our serenade by giving a rousing cheer, perhaps to be sure that our sisters were awake. One song from Freshman year still lingers-——‘‘From a Hundred Homes in Search of Knowledge.” We have always been extremely versatile in our class songs — every year until our last we have announced our officers to the tune of “Stars and Stripes Forever,” every year we have had a different class song, every year and on every occasion we have been divided in opinions as to whether our songs should be fast or slow, and as a result they have been both at the same time, each member choosing her own pace. 1924 NIKE 71 However others may feel about it, we like our own singing, and Sophomore year we put ona Minstrel Show for Vaudeville. True to our firmly set traditions, we had to change all four of our end men at the last minute, so that some of the jokes were not entirely coherent. That was the occasion on which Evie Kyle, having just dropped the course in Spanish, sang Espanola with great gusto. Suffering from the obsession that our Christmas Carols would be a last- minute performance, we began rehearsing for them early in October, and by Christmastime we knew the words. On the fateful night, we wrapped up warmly in many coats and sweaters, and donned our sheets and pillow cases over them. The night was so light that all our grotesqueness of appearance was plain to every beholder and the weather was so warm that we were almost overcome by heat prostration, but yet we sang with all our might, ‘‘Good King Wenceslas,”’ “The First Noel,’ ‘‘Adeste Fideles,’’ and we marched, marched, marched to “We Three Kings of Orient Are.’’ You can see that ’24 is inured to hardships. There has been a college song contest each year and last year ’24 got second lace! . An appreciation of drama and an ability to act should form part of everyone's equipment, don’t you think? Of course, individual girls have taken part in many many plays, but, as a class, 1924 has done a few things herself — Fresh- man year there were two one act plays composed entirely of fresh material, “Mistress Penelope’ and ‘“The Other Voice,” one particularly appropriate part being Babe Folsom as the ‘‘Well-fed Voice.” For our Christmas stunt Sophomore year we presented a dramatization of “The Other Wise Man,” written about three days before it was given. This production was memorable for the infinite number of scenes, Muriel Reynolds declaring that ‘‘The star is rising in the yeast,’ and Helen Savage as the Madonna, a part in which she was so lovely that she was chosen again to play the Madonna in this year’s Christmas play. This latter play presented by the juniors and seniors, was a short but beautiful representation of the journey of the shepherds and Magi to Bethlehem. The original music and costumes were very beautiful. For the past two years our contribution to Vaudeville has been a series of take-offs on well-known women about campus. This was revised at the last minute Junior year, as I have suggested above, but no one failed to recognize “Betty Bradley Giving the Correct Answer in Art’? — although Fran Hill’s take-off was so apt that part of the audience thought that Betty was taking herself off. This year the still life take-offs of the Nubian statues in the Library caused greatest hilarity. Nineteen hundred and twenty-four has taken part in each May Day; the English Morris Dances and allegorical parts such as ‘‘Death,”’ “Hunger,” ‘Famine’ in Freshman year; assorted parts, as ‘‘member of the Florentine crowd,” ‘‘a Myrmidon,” “urn bearers,” in the Sophomore year production; and one or two other parts in “‘Electra” last year; this year ’24 has worked for, directed, and participated in the “Evolution of the English May Day,” written by a member of our class, Eleanor Peabody. There are a few virtues possessed by 1924 which I may not have specifically brought out. Nineteen hundred and twenty-four has a sense of responsibility, for example when Carol Gower was proctor in Metcalf Freshman year, she took her duties so much to heart that she threatened to give Miss Young a demerit for being noisy after 10:00. Initiative is a quality which we have cultivated. At times it has not been appreciated, — during the 2-6-0 campaign our class dressed a dummy and labelled him, ‘“‘a Slacker Who Hasn’t Pledged 2-6-0.” We carried the dummy through considerable hazardous moments to the top of the chapel tower and dashed him to the ground as a slacker deserves. The only hitch in our spectacular 72 NIKE | 1924 exhibit of college spirit was that no one knew what we were doing. One evidence of our initiative is seen in the fact that for three years we have managed to keep the Cragin Owl tied up with green ribbon almost continuously, despite the efforts of other classes to replace it with their own colors. As a fast worker, 1924 yields the palm to none. I’ve mentioned the last minute decorations, the last minute stunts and plays, and the last minute songs. Still another example occurred Sophomore year at Commencement, when the evergreen, which we had gathered to weave into our Senior sister’s daisy chain, was commandeered for the Chapel decorations, and we were forced to rise at five to get more and to weave the chain before the procession started. Our lives have not been one glad sweet song. We, too, are mellowed by life’s little bitternesses. Always will we hold in our memory the death of the cat Aroma de |’Antique, ’neath the walls of Metcalf. Then, too, we can recall the brutal extermination of the dear little red ants, who, whenever we had food in our rooms, used to eat with us. Wheaton has developed while 1924 has been here. Of course, I would not venture to say that 1924 has influenced these changes, still I shall mention them: Among the lesser changes are the yearly rearrangements of the post office to fit the ever-increasing number of students, the new hymn books which shriek: if drawn carelessly out of the racks, the disappearance of the Jungle, the advent of the Nubian statues. Each year there has been a new napkin system, from the system Freshman year when we brought our own from our rooms and forgot them every other meal to the present pigeon-hole plan where you get your napkin if you get to your pigeon-hole first, but at least you get one. Among the greater changes of our college are the three Deans whom we have known— Dean Everett who welcomed us with kindness and sympathy, Dean Kerr who managed us efficiently for two years, and Dean Riddell whom we have chosen as an honorary member of the class. The ground was broken for Stanton Hall on Founder’s Day our Freshman year, and the hall was dedicated our Sophomore year. Barrows, Holmes, and Bates have all been purchased and used as dormitories since Sophomore year. The new library was begun in the spring of 1922, and we were the first class to use the steps of the Library as our sacred “Senior Steps”’ from which we sing ourselves, our Sister-Class and our Alma Mater. And now the Class of 1924 is ready to leave the college where she has spent four happy and profitable years. As she leaves to seek her way in the world, Ww hether that way be bright or dull, she will always be proud to turn back and say, ‘“‘I am a member of the Class of 1924 of Wheaton College.” HELEN JULIA ESTEs.

EpitH BAKER President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Song Leader 1924 | NIKE ee een Sophomores Just one year ago we entered into college life with its combination of per- plexities and fun. For that first year we seemed to float about in a strangely indifferent manner, scarcely able to find ourselves and not knowing just what it meant to owe allegiance to an Alma Mater. But we thank our older sisters, for with their help we came safely and happily through the year, ready to begin our life as Sophomores. Our first realization of this new state came with the announcement of our class officers in the fall. Then we further exerted our new freedom by attempting to terrify the Freshmen at the A. A. Hallowe’en Party in October. (We assure them, however, that tradition and not ill-feeling was the cause of our actions.) Nineteen-twenty-six made her initial bow to society at the Sophomore Hop, later in November. Oh, yes, it was wonderful, that goes without saying. Christ- mas time found our class in charge of the Christmas festivities and revels held in Emerson Hall the night before we left for vacation. Shortly after vacation, we were confronted by mid-year examinations, which brought about a noticeable revival of learning. The next step in our progress was marked by the Senior-Sophomore Party, which strengthened our bonds of friendship and drew us closer to them as a Sister Class. The arrival of the class rings was to nineteen-twenty-six, an epoch-making event, also. Thus, as Sophomores, nineteen-twenty-six ever found something new to arouse its enthusiasm and school spirit. We all agree that it has been a splendid year and we are all eagerly awaiting our next promotion, hoping that as a Sister Class, ourselves, we can ‘“‘carry on” in the same spirit of comradeship and loyalty that our Senior Sisters have shown to us.

Mary RONALD HELEN MAYHEW PRISCILLA BROOKS JEAN WETHERBY President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Song Leader 1924 | NeieKe ER: 20 95 Freshmen Dating from the time of the second lecture on table manners, no one can deny that the wearers of 1927 yellow have been model Freshmen. They have entered enthusiastically into stunts, athletics, and the dining-room. They were formally introduced to the Wheaton gym at a dance given by A. A., where they behaved with becoming propriety. Not so much can be said for their deportment at that blood-raising and hair-curling event, Hallowe’en night. The Freshmen who had been meekest up until then, began to show symptoms of independence, especially in the torture chamber. After six weeks a descent into Avernus, personally conducted by the faculty, Was enjoyed by the class, but all survived and found Thanksgiving heading rapidly towards them. Late in the fall, they announced their officers in a most unusual way from a small door in the top of the library, to a shivering but interested group of Juniors and Freshmen. Nineteen hundred and twenty-seven has two other feathers in its bonnet — it enlivened vaudeville with movies, philosophy, and music; and it came off gloriously with the honor of having won the gym meet. It would be impossible to write of 1927 without mentioning her loyal Sister Class. Nineteen hundred and twenty-five provided the Freshmen with two wonderful parties, — a picnic at night, and a valentine party. To reciprocate, '25 entertained the Juniors at a French cabaret, newly opened. The chief joys of both these festive occasions were that there were no chairs to push in, but plenty of food to eat! ‘THE FRESHMAN CLASS i i emer | - - ‘ NIKE 1924 College Government Association Officers DOROTHY PARTRIDGE.) i ee eee tes7acn: GERTRUDE M.

Dhlees sn. Barrowsehlouse KATHERINE DIGNEY . . . . Carpenter House 1924 NIKE wy College Government Association Every girl in college is acquainted with the functions of the College Govern- ment Association, for every girl belongs to the organization. No explanation of its aims and ideals is necessary to those who have been its active members all this year. This is the second year since the adoption of our so-called ‘College Government,’’ and surely the success with which all plans have been carried through proves that this codperation between faculty and students is a most efficient method of campus government. The Class of 1927 was first introduced to the Association at the first Mass Meeting of the year, held in the chapel on September 21. The President of the organization extended a cordial welcome to all the old and new girls. She explained to the new girls the idea of our Honor System, and showed how the Wheaton spirit of fair play and helpfulness made for its success. The Welcome Party was held on Saturday evening, September 22. This was an opportunity for the new girls to meet the faculty and to become ac- quainted with the activities of the various college organizations as described by their Presidents. The singing of carols around the lighted Christmas tree during the week previous to vacation, helped to rouse our Christmas spirit for the holidays. Christmas stunt night was a successful affair, also, and was carried off with splendid enthusiasm. In January, Carolyn Gower and Marion Woodbridge represented the College Government Association at the New England Conference of the Intercollegiate Prohibition Association held in Boston. Several new committees have been added to the Association. A chairman was appointed for chapel attendance, one to deal with library problems, and one to devise a system for obtaining rooms for guests in Norton. At our Community Meetings this year, Dean Riddell has given many help- ful talks concerning various matters of importance on the campus. Members of the faculty, representing each department, have spoken to the student body, presenting the values of their various courses in relation to later life. The new honor system for attendance at chapel is a distinct step forward. This plan, as suggested by the College Government Association and approved by the Administration Committee, has thus far proved to be a real improvement over the old plan and we hope that its success will continue in the future. There is no attendance recorded by this new scheme, but each girl passes in an excuse slip whenever she is absent. In all that the College Government Association has attempted this year, it has been supported with a true spirit of loyalty and codperation on the part of all its members. We feel that, if future years bring a continuation of the same spirit, we may anticipate even more advancement for the College Govern- ment Association. 1924 NIKE 101 omer’.

Supported by a membership of 89% of the college, its many-sided program has been carried on throughout the year, through the efforts of twelve com- mittees, advised by the cabinet and officers. Among the Wednesday night meetings, our Candle Light Service, the formal recognition of the new members to the college association, is memorable. Held in the silence of our chapel, the softened glow of the candles, together with: the simple service, lends a solemn beauty and a spirit of consecration to the ceremony, long to be remembered. This year in addition to the usual student, and outside speakers, and the special Christmas Meeting, we have held two meetings for meditation during Holy Week. The Forum. which was started last year, has become a vital factor in developing leadership and in stimulating individual thinking. As last year, we joined with College Government in giving the welcome party for the new girls. Plans for the Christmas Bazaar were far advanced at the close of the preceding college year. In August, Wheaton girls, both old and new, received a charming invitation to bring something for the bazaar. Several innovations resulted in the biggest and most profitable affair of its kind at Wheaton. The World Fellowship drive in the fall, pledged a sum. of $1600, which has been sent around the world — Japan, China, Spain, Near East, Central Europe, Hampton, Georgia, Kentucky Mountains, Taunton and Boston. Student-Industrial Codperation has continued mainly through conference house parties with New Bedford Industrial girls and friendship. Books of missions, service and student movements bought during summer conferences, etc., have been collected and placed on a shelf in the library for the use of all. Singing in Larcom has been aroused with a new zest. A room in the basement of the,chapel was fitted up for cabinet meetings, rest-room and office. The advantage of a bulletin board and concentration of formerly scattered Y. W. C. A. material is greatly appreciated. Nineteen hundred and twenty-four has been a conference year. We have sent delegates to four conferences and two conventions. The value of these has been made manifest in our local activities and by an awakened interest in the world about us. Now remains Silver Bay. We hope that our ranks may be swelled to forty, and to this end, the committee has been industriously turning sandwiches into registration fees and railroad fares throughout the year. It is there through fellowship together, that the nucleus is formed for the carrying on of the one purpose for which Y. W. exists at Wheaton, the development of an all-around girl in Christian service and fellowship. Dramatic Association GATHERINE® WILSON + =e eee RE res ter WOVIS!

The first event on our calendar was the productions of two one-act plays in October, “‘Helena’s Husband” and “Modesty.’’ Immedi- ately after this, work was begun on the Sophomore Hop Play, which was given before a large and enthusiastic audience in November. The laughter and ap- plause which greeted the succession of misunderstandings involved in ‘The Comedy of Errors’ proved once more that Shakespeare can be entertaining as well as educational. After mid-years the freshmen were encouraged to try out and many of them were successful in the two contrasted plays, ‘“The Florist Shop” and “The Clod,”’ which were given in March. In March, the Dramatic Association codperated with the Athletic Association in putting on a highly successful vaudeville, and with the I. C. S. A. in giving an entertainment at the Attleboro High School. In March, the Dramatic Association also presented ‘‘Wrong Numbers,” a short one-act play, and a musical entertainment at the Boston Wheaton Club. “The Honeymoon,” by Arnold Bennett, was chosen as the Prom Play, and was given before large audiences at Junior Prom and Senior Prom. This English comedy was different from anything hitherto attempted by the Association and was well received at both performances. “The Evolution of the English May Day,” a pageant written by Eleanor Peabody of the Senior class, was given on May Day with a cast of over three hundred people. Although this event was under the direction of the Senior class, the Dramatic Association codperated with the Senior Committees in producing at, The appreciation and thanks of the Association are due for the careful coach- ing and keen enthusiasm of Miss Violet B. Robinson, the untiring and invaluable work of the many committees, and to Miss Otis and Dr. Shook of the Art and Physics Departments, for their assistance in scenery and lighting. 105 INGT ERS 1924 Athletic Association WINIFRED: CHALMERS |, “oi jaa als we a Eoresident MARY: K..

From the opening of school in September, A. A. has exerted every effort to keep things going in its line of activities. Starting with a meeting in the early fall, at which the president gave a bare outline of the plans for the year and also at which a cheerleader, Evelyn Kyle, and a songleader, Margaret Hale, were elected, to whom were given later new emblems as a recognition of the work which they do so willingly. By both logical and chronological order A. A. began activities with hockey. Due to the fact that the captain of varsity and the leader of hockey spent some time at the hockey camp last summer, it was possible for us to be up on all the new hockey rules and tactics. We heartily recommend the hockey camp and hope that more girls will be able to attend next summer. Also due to the careful coaching of Miss Feaver and Miss Wallis, Wheaton turned out a successful hockey team. The schedule consisted of three games: WHEATON US 2 ALUMNI — Pounder slay 6s eae tee ICtOLy WWiRA TONGS, RADCLIFFE gap aries ie oe Clot acon Pe Bee ome VICTOFY WHEATON vs. SARGENT — November 10... . . . |. Defeat The interclass series was finally won by the seniors, 1924, after a very close game with the juniors, 1925. One of the new things which we want to emphasize is that there were two class teams, giving more girls a chance to play in a game. The second team series was won by the seniors. 108 NIKE 1924 Wheaton is the proud possessor of a riding team which snatched the cup of victory from the House in the Pines’ team. This is the first year that there has been a riding team. The fall tennis tournament was won by Eleanora Noyes. Saturday evening, October 27, A. A. with the help of the sophomores attempted to quell the rising freshness of the freshmen at the annual Hallowe’en party. Elaborate plans were executed, but the freshmen came through with flying colors and proved that they were the kind of a class that we expected. After the ceremonies, there was dancing and ae Dr. Riddell read an appropriate story. During the fall, there were three hikes run by A. A., which were well attended. A. A. also inaugurated a new system of hiking by which a girl, hiking 310 miles in the prescribed manner, may earn a white W. This plan met with great enthusi- asm. Finally, Jack Frost with his wintry blasts forced us into the gym, but we were getting anxious for basketball to start, anyway. There was a rally at which the class captains were elected and then we got down to business. So many girls came out to practice that it was necessary to form three teams for each class and have three series. The first team series was won by the seniors, the second and third team series by the sophomores. The varsity schedule consisted of two games: WHEATON vs, BROWN —Febriiary 17.) 50) ee ee ICLon WHEATON v5. B. 9) PVE firstteam: 2. 8s) aay wee clea WHEATON vs. B. 5..P. E., second-team... ee Victory — A third game with the alumne was planned but due to the weather the game was called off. It was filled in by a mixed faculty alumnae and student game. On February 22, the annual George Washington birthday party was given. The girls must have made a special effort in planning their costumes, nee ‘ very difficult for the judges, Miss Everett, Mrs. Cole and Dean Riddell, decide who had the best one. After much consideration the prizes were aerial to Margaret Hale and Marion Hardy. On March 1, A. A. produced the very best vaudeville that has ever been given. The success of the vaudeville was due to the untiring efforts of the president and the board and the wonderful codperation given A. A. both by the students and the faculty. On March 17, the freshmen and the sophomores met on the gymnasium dene to prove the superiority of one of them. The freshmen won the gym meet. The individual winner was Captola Rutter, ’27, second place, Marion Gavett, 26, third place, Mary Wells, ’27. Exhibition drills and dancing were other features of the afternoon. Due to the success of the system of tennis teams used last year, A. A. is using the same plan this year, each class having a team and the college having a varsity team. The varsity will probably include Radcliffe and Brown. The baseball season is always a successful one, perhaps because it is an outdoor sport and that there is an opportunity for so many to participate. The annual swimming meet was looked forward to with great enthusiasm. Night after night the class teams worked on strokes, dives, etc. Keen com- petition was very evident. As a final word, A. A. wishes to make special note of the Varsity teams, the rallies, the success of the new system of committees, the A. A. column in the News. All of which constitute some of the new policies of the Athletic Association. T he Athletic Association Board has enjoyed its work throughout the year. It has appreciated the hearty support which the student body has given it, for it is certainly that which has ensured its success. 110 NIKE 1924 The Senior Teams 1924 NIKE 111 The Junior Teams NIKE 1924 NIKE 113 The Freshmen Teams we Srrrtt. 114 , NIKE 1924 Vocational Bureau ELIZABETH SOLIDAY maateieon eaten wl iarerror KATHERINE BUlIEARD (4 0mene Assistant Director EQLIZABETH.BURNHAM. 2 a os.

LeO, 3 ee eee ee ee Lercosar ee 1924 NIKE 115 ‘The Wheaton Bureau of Vocational Opportunities The Vocational Bureau was organized for the purpose of acquainting the students with the various occupations now open to women. To accomplish this aim, speakers who are prominent in various types of work are secured to lecture upon the opportunities for women in their respective professions. Ata meeting of the student body in the fall, suggestions were invited concern- ing the vocations in which the girls were most interested. Using as a guide the information thus obtained, the board arranged the program for the spring conference. The Annual Vocational Conference was held on the evening of April the fourth, and the morning of April the fifth. At the first session, the opening address was made by Dean Riddell. Mr. Royal B. Farnham, Director of the Massachusetts Normal Art School, then spoke of the many types of art work open to women with imagination and creative ability. The last speaker of the session was Mr. Robert A. Woods of the South End House, Boston. He told of the need for social workers and emphasized the importance of social work in the development of Public Health and National Unity. The first speaker of the morning session was Miss Esther Johnson of the Chelsea Public Library. Her subject was the opportunities for women in the library field. Miss Cora A. Newton of the Bridgewater Normal School discussed the profession of teaching. Professor Kenneth L. Mark of Simmons College pointed out several fields open to women with scientific training. Miss Anna B. Frishmuth of Boston gave interesting information concerning the vocation of Landscape Architecture. For the benefit of those students particularly inter- ested in any of the professions presented, group discussions were held with the speakers at the close of each session. 116 NIKE 1924 Intercollegiate Community Service Association Mary E.

C. S. A. has aimed this year, even more than ever before, to bring about a feeling of friendliness and codperation between the college and the community in which it lies. An observation of local conditions resulted in increased activity on the part of the organization. The publicity committee has kept the student body well informed concerning the work of the association, and an opportunity for participating in social work has been given to every girl interested. I. C. S. A. is important to us, not only for the work which it accomplishes in this com- munity, but for the interest which it stimulates, and the insight it affords into the greater social problems. The I. C. S. A circus, which has formerly been numbered among the pleasant events on the social calendar of the college, was revived this year. Coming early in the fall, it served as a welcome party to the freshmen from the I. C. S. A., and at the same time netted a profit which did much to support the work of the organization during the year. 118 Nile 1924 Several new committees have been formed this year in addition to the older ones. A story hour, held once a week at the Norton Library, has afforded much pleasure for the small children of the community. The girls have been reached through two troups of girl scouts, one for high school and one for grade school girls. In November, began the second year of serving cocoa for the school children, during their recess period. The magazines which members of the collecting committee have gathered from each dormitory have been given to the employees of the college, and the old clothes divided between them and the townspeople. A regular Sunday school teacher has been provided for one of the local churches. Visiting those who are shut in has taught us much of the history of Norton and of our college. Perhaps the entertainment committee has been most important in represent- ing Wheaton in the neighborhood. Entertainments have been given in both the local churches, and the annual Wheaton night entertainment given in Attle- boro for the Community Fellowship Association was most successful. A party was given to the maids of the college, and they have been invited to dress re- hearsals of entertainments given on campus throughout the year. The Italian settlement in the community has been reached through parties given for the children. Thanksgiving baskets were sent to a number of people here in Norton; and in December, parties for the scouts and Italian children, baskets, and gifts to all the employees of the college, were included in the Christmas work. But this branch of the I. C. S. A. is not isolated. Behind its local activity, the Wheaton chapter has kept in close contact with the Intercollegiate Associ- ation through Miss Mann, its secretary, and the settlement houses in Boston. The president represented Wheaton at the Boston Conference held at Denison House in December, and two girls spent part of their spring vacation in the Ellis Memorial Settlement House, and a delegate was sent to the Annual Confer- ence of the I. C. S. A., held at Mt. Ivy, N. Y., the week-end of April 26. The I. C. S. A. has also secured outside speakers for Y. W. C. A. during the year. In this way, the student body has been able to get a much broader view of social work. The officers and cabinet wish to express their gratitude to the faculty advisers and to the entire student body for their loyalty and coéperation during the past year. 1924 NIKE 119 The Wheaton Record RECORD STAFF Editor-in-Chief ELAINE N.

The development of the usefulness and importance of the News in the life of the college has been considerable, thanks to the enthusiasm and dependability of the News staff, and the c6operation of every organization on the campus. 1924 NIKE 121 Nike Staff Py PENOREV DAC! 0 eno 2 Meee poe. be. ok, ge edslor-in-Chief Pee ORR VANE ee ee ae ee a) ce, 2 Dusiness Manaser ewe a toveRs tT. iN ante ote a ee Ce Laterary hadtior Be reat ViAURVERPUNt peer cee ee Ln Assistant Literary Editor.

It was founded under the guidance of the poet-teacher, Lucy Larcom, in 1881, and has held a position of primary importance in the college activities ever since. The purpose of Psyche is to promote interest in literature. The programs each year are so varied as to bring something of real value to every member, to form a foundation for intelligent criticism and real appreciation, and to further interest in. creative work among its members.

At the first meeting, held in October, new members were admitted. Each month, through the assistance of the faculty of Science department, speakers have been obtained. The meetings are usually open to all and the subjects are presented in an interesting manner. This year, on February 15, a social meeting was held. Members of the club and the faculty were invited and every one spent a pleasant evening. The club owes a great deal to Professor Pouleur who has shown so much interest in it, and, although the number of students of sciences is comparatively small, we feel that the club has taken a place among the larger organizations of Wheaton.

I did observe great numbers of them greeting each other with effusion, and still others who seemed to have no one to greet and who were sorrowful in demeanor — these latter are the Freshmen. I did receive a shock when I first perceived the campus, for it had the appearance of a recent battlefield, there being deep entrenchments dug in all directions. Upon asking Mr. Cutler, I did learn that he was in the process of installing a new heating system. SEPTEMBER 22D: To the Welcome Party for the Freshmen at which there was a vast assembly. present. Donned my new green crépe frock, which does become me mightily. As is the custom, secured to my frock a card bearing my name and address so that one and all might recognize me. I did learn the names of several Freshmen who did me the honor to dance with me. A repast of negligible character — it could not have cost more than two pounds. OcTOBER 13TH: Believing to ha ve done my duty last year, I did but watch from my window the Founders’ Day exercises this day. Brilliant and impressive did the faculty appear, in their gowns of black and hoods of varied hues. I was pleased to welcome back many illustrious members of the alumna, also resplendent in gowns and hoods. In the evening to the Gymnasium Theatre, where I did witness the plays ‘‘Helena’s Husband” and a farce from the French entitled ‘‘“Modesty,” both pleasingly enacted. OCTOBER 20TH: This day the circus came to town to the joy of all who do still remember the pleasure it afforded them in childhood. In the afternoon, a motley parade did proceed around the campus, in which clowns, bands, caged animals and the like did disport themselves. To the gymnasium tent in the evening, where side shows, fortune-tellers, balloons, popcorn and peanuts were to be enjoyed in lavish profusion. NOVEMBER 28TH: This day a state of high excitement did prevail within these halls of learning — for the most of the students did depart for their homes for the Thanks- giving recess. A great quantity of luggage impeded progress at the doors of Mary Lyon Hall, and a number of vehicles awaited the impatient students. The loss of a ticket to the city of New York caused much anxiety and hunt- ing. DECEMBER 8TH: To the gymnasium this afternoon, where all manner of articles were on sale so that the place bore resemblance to a great shop. Did admire especially the fine scarfs, negligées and gowns of Batique, which were of lustrous fabric and gorgeous in hue. I but narrowly escaped purchasing a negligée, being almost beguiled to do so, by the blandishments of the dark skinned merchant, but refrained, hoping I might receive one as a Christmas gift. In the evening, a variety of stunts and shows, which caused much merriment. 1924 NIKE 139 DECEMBER IL5TH: To the play with my good friend Mary; ’twas a Christmas spectacle, ‘‘The Nativity,’’ a most impressive and ably performed production. Throughout the performance, the sound of harps and angles’ voices did ring, bringing again to our hearts the significance of our Lord’s birth. JANUARY 8TH: Classes again after a most pleasant vacation. Everywhere one hears groans and sighs and cries of ‘‘Midyears three weeks off!’’ It is indeed most lament- able to see happy faces darkened by the mere thought of that prospect. FEBRUARY IL5TH: Today did receive knowledge of my Midyear examination marks. They are not brilliant, but will suffice. Bought a spring hat—price, three pounds. FEBRUARY 22D: This day we celebrated the natal day of our national hero, George Washing- ton. Tonight we did participate in a costume ball, at which fair ladies in brocaded gowns and gallant gentlemen in periwigs did dance and play at games. Prizes were given for the finest costumes. Marcu Ist: A great day, surely, for tonight did witness the annual production of Vaude- ville, a most notable performance, wherein the talents of the entire college were most pleasantly set forth. One act, which pleased me mightily, was that entitled ‘‘Dark Doings ” in which the recently acquired Nubian statues which still disfigure our library, were aptly burlesqued, as well as well-known campus figures, both faculty and students. Other numbers which did par- ticularly please the audience were, that one composed of singing and dancing girls, and that one in which a rehearsal at Wheaton was aptly mimicked. Special honor doth go to Mistress Giddings for her admirable caricature of Mistress Robinson. Marcu IL5TH: This day a great inter-class meet did take place in the gymnasium, the object of which was to exhibit the prowess of each class and to determine which possessed the greatest. A variety of activities did ensue—marching, Indian club drill, tumbling, cartwheels and an amazing diversity. To their credit—-and the shame of the upperclassmen—the Freshmen were adjudged winners of the meet. APRIL 26TH: This afternoon did attend the annual glee club concert, a most creditable performance, the which was highly appreciated by those witnessing it. A dance tonight, to which did come throngs of girls and men so that the room was hot and crowded. After casting up my accounts, I do find myself to be with only five shillings, which alarms me, albeit it is near the end of the month, heaven be praised! MAy 2p: This day did the festivities of Junior Promenade begin with the arrival of a multitude of gentlemen this evening to witness that play of Bennett’s, “The Honeymoon,” which provoked many a laugh and seemed to please the audience greatly, except toward the end when they did evince impatience to dance. 140 eee PN Ker Oo ere MAy 3p: To classes this morning, at which many of the Juniors did appear with escorts and did not seem overly enthralled with what their worthy instructors said. At noon a number of picnic parties did motor gleefully away to return but in time for the tea-dance. After this, in rapid succession did come the re- ception held in Metcalf drawing room, the dinner in Emerson Hall and at length the Promenade itself. Spectators were enraptured at the scene, for, in a Spanish court, amid flowers and trees, tapestries and fountains, did the dance take place. Myriads of lovely ladies, most charming to behold, did appear to but float on the arms of their dark-clothed escorts. One might estimate conservatively that the affair did cost no less than one hundred pounds. May 19TH: A similar ball did take place tonight — the Senior Promenade, for this year owing to the large number enrolled in each class, it was deemed wise not to combine the Promenades, but for each class to enjoy its own. The plan did not meet the favor of all, but went into effect, nevertheless, and those who attended did appear to have a marvelously good time. May 16TH: To the library steps this evening, when each class did compete against the others in the singing of new college songs and cheers. A right pleasant evening. May 24TH: Up early and donned my new white skirt and sweater in honor of the May Day. This afternoon in the sight of thousands of pleased spectators, the May Queen did hold court and was right royally entertained by a graceful pageant. Nymphs, fairies, and flowerets danced and sang on the green, while the evolution of English May Day was unfolded. JuNE 16TH One could easily be sad if one had time to realize that there is but one day more of college for the Seniors. But one is kept so busy attending the various rites and exercises of class day that one is left but little time to think. JUNE 17TH: To chapel this morning to witness the Commencement exercises which were duly solemn and impressive. The speaker did deliver a timely and right interesting address, while the Seniors did appear important and austere, indeed, as they filed up on the platform to receive diploma and hood—symbols of work well done. 1924 NIKE 142 1924 NIKE 143 May Day On the afternoon of the twenty-fourth day of May, her Majesty, the Queen of the May, was crowned on the Wheaton Campus. For her delight, an original pageant by Eleanor Lane Peabody, ‘“‘The Evolution of the English May Day,” had been printed and prepared. The crowning of the Queen was incorporated into a preliminary masque, written by the author of the pageant, in which the chief persons are the Spirit of Wheaton and the Spirit of Spring. The Spirit of Wheaton and her four daughters, the four classes, reject the Spirit of Winter, and the Wind Spirits and the Snowflakes are put to flight by the Spirits of Rain, Warmth and Sun- shine. The Spirit of Spring is summoned and the Spirit of 1924 brings in the May Queen, attended by her usual court and the six Qualities for which she has been chosen. After her Majesty has been crowned by the Spirit of Wheaton, they with the Spirit of Spring take their places on the threefold throne, and the pageant proceeds. The pageant is divided into five episodes representing historic stages in the evolution of the English May Day. The first episode contains the Druid worship and the Wood Nymphs’ dance. In the second appear the Chimney Sweeps and the Garland Girls, while in the third we see the English Milkmaids and an old Maypole dance. Eton Choristers, in the fourth episode, sing from the Chapel Tower, and Eton Boys and the English Populace of the period appear. The fifth episode is that of Robin Hood and his Merry Men, and of the Morris Dancers. The conclusion is impressive with the Grand Finale and the departure of the characters and of her Gracious Majesty and loyal attendants. 146 NIKE 1924 FACULTY SROW : Miss Oris, in Art III: I am now going to show you a cross section of Brunelleschi’s dome. And again: Now here is the picture of Moses, who is being held up by the dadetee of Moses. Dr. MacIntTireE, in Ethics: Ah, I see I have mislaid my class list, do you see anyone who is not here? It is related of the class in Spanish I that the sophomores entered, and the faculty, about to call the roll, unfortunately sneezed — whereupon three of the girls answered: ‘‘Here!”’ Miss Shepard discovered in the English Literature exam that ‘‘Adam Bede”’ wrote the Ecclesiastical History; and Dr. Lange found in a Zodlogy exam that “rabbits lay eggs — Easter eggs, maybe.” Miss Everett in English Literature VIII, as Alice partes enters, late — Now here comes the difficulty. Miss Wallis, in Hygiene, seeing strange student come dashing in, about twenty minutes late, and thinking girl had made mistake, said kindly — “Hygiene?” “Howdy, Miss Wallis.” WONDER WHAT PROFESSORS THINK ABOUT? (Bell rings. Enter Professor, trudges to seat. Dumps books. Sits in chatr.) Hum! Nobody here as usual. What do they think this is, an all-night joint? (With sudden vivacity.) If they don’t come for ten minutes, I can go up to the Inn and have something to eat. (Picks up books; students rush in; slumps in chair again.) Where is that class list? I can’t pronounce half the names, anyhow. Why don’t students have a system of numbers? (Finds list; reads off names very fast, so will not have to check those absent.) Ho-hum! Wonder what the lesson is about? Oh, well, I'll give them a summary of my last lecture. (Drones on for twenty minutes, thinking of what to give Aunt Sarah for birthday present. Brought back to earth by snicker from class.) Now what have I said? 1924 NIKE 147 (Makes cutting remark on half-witted character of modern generation; class subdued.) Nothing more to say, — oh, well, I'll ask them how much they’ve done . (student flourishes hand, announces did four chapters ahead and in addition to assignment.) Yes, she always does. I suppose I'll have to put down a pass for her. (Another student gives glib and plausible excuse for unpreparedness.) Ah — never heard that one before. Well, she ought to have an A —I’ll put it down; nice smile she has. Hope nobody asks any questions. If that girl in the front row asks another deep one, I'll flunk her; there ought to be a law against it; I had to talk ten minutes last time, before I could think of an answer to one she asked. Ah— same old question from the back row — heard that every year. Why doesn’t somebody get some originality? At last — the bell! (Seizes books — dashes out before students can rise from their seats.) pacOMPEER Ti HANDBOOK OF COLLEGE ETIQUETTE The first rule in college etiquette is self-assertion. Always put yourself forward, never forgetting that if other people interfere, or get more attention than you do, that it is insufferable of them. Upon rising, sing one of Horace’s odes (any one will do) to the rising sun. Then meditate on undone work, assuming attitude of despair. Think of break- fast, and groan 178 times, repeating in a chic manner “‘hot or cold cereal?”’ When at table, always tell a great many jokes; laugh loudly at them, and assume coy pose when admired by eager audience. On leaving dining room, do not forget to slam door in faculty’s face, as sometimes she does not notice it, if it is closed gently. On arriving at chapel, read past mail for the week — do not miss this valuable opportunity. In classes, pens are worn in pockets and notebooks at home this season. During discussion, think of room you had to choose when you drew, groan heartrendingly, rise and leave class, as it isn’t interesting, anyway. Swimming pool etiquette is very strict. It is considered a great breach of good manners not to attend swimming classes after having had the distinction of being conditioned. Stand as far back from end of diving board as possible, arch ears, hold hair stiff, and with faun-like spring, gambol into the water. Tilt nose, to avoid scraping tile off bottom of pool — this also helps to give graceful slide to tap, as the nose, in the best circles, traditionally determines direction. It is best to attach weights to feet, to be sure to get below surface. Just before striking water, exhale; immediately after entering, inhale. If these rules are followed, you will never be disturbed again about matters of etiquette. Statuary on campus: The Ethiopians; Hebe; Mr. Cutler, gazing at the land- scape. Winifred Sackville Stoner’s mother says that her daughter became a musician because her room was decorated with musical instruments. According to that, some people we know must have used dumb-bells for their furnishings. NIKE 1924 Oo , sah aes we One's ENoFI™ Vill!

Enter doorkeeper, takes his accustomed stand at narrow entrance, yawns, then stares fixedly at large poster which announces that tonight the audience will be favored with Big Bill Hardy in ‘The Instrument of Vengeance.’ Girls of all shapes and sizes begin to dribble along in little groups and amidst much racket choose their seats. A group of three, armed with sofa cushions, try three different settees before they can all agree on a suitable place. Enter girl with Harvard man, trying vainly to look at ease, who take seats in rear row. Buzz of whispering arises on all sides and there is much craning of necks in their direction. Harvard man casually — oh, so casually! — gives them the once- over. By this time the place is as full as it ever will be and all is in readiness. Lady wearily ascends steps to creaking platform, and begins to play ‘‘Parade of the Wooden Soldiers’’ on rheumatic piano. Audience whistles, hums, beats time (whenever there is any) and helps to murder piece in general. Sputter . sputter . . . fzz . . . and the filmison. The gum-chewing audience settles down to a semi-quiet, with jaws keeping time to the music. First picture shows distant and properly impressive view of mountains and lake. (Pianist changes to “Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.’’) Caption: “Big Bill Hardy as Hilary Farrar, the warm-hearted son of old Bill Farrar, returning home from an Eastern college after absence of seven years.’’ (Music now is ‘‘He’s Got Hot Lips!’’) Horse and rider come dashing down a path, stopping short at the edge of the cliff, gazing at the distant sunset, which moves the hero so much that he heaves a sigh from the depths of his manly bosom. The action starts immediately in this peppy picture. The horse slips on a banana peel which had inadvertently been left there and falls over the cliff, throwing the luckless Hilary as he goes. But a small branch growing out of the side of the rock catches and holds our hero. (Clapping and whistling from small boys in front row.) Alas! is there no one to save him? But stay! Nora O’Grady, bringing one of her pet wildcats to drink at the foot of the cliff, sees his plight, and obtains a rope which she throws up to him. Dexterously attaching this to the branch, our hero descends without difficulty, and confronts his beautiful rescuer. (Bright person in audience murmers, ‘‘That’s what I call really ‘falling’ in love!’’) Hilary sighs, Nora sighs, then they both sigh. Caption: “‘They gazed into each others’ eyes, and as they gazed their two souls seemed to merge into one. Could this be love?” (Pianist begins on ‘No, No, Nora.) They get along 152 NIKE 1924 well after that. Just as he is about to leave, he slowly bends over her upturned face, nearer . . . nearer... . until . . .-C RACK! the film breaks: Groans from all sides, and cries of, ““Aw, gee!’ and “Hurry up!” Much stirring about in the box above indicates that they are hurrying. A lady with a sliding scale laugh runs up and down the octave a few times to the delight of the girls in front of her. Pianist plays on valiantly. Sputter . . . sputter and the picture is on again. Several scenes farther along, however, — a gap which our imagi- nation must bridge. Hilary arrives home and has supper with the family. (To the tune of ‘‘Home, Sweet Home.’’) His acquired Eastern sense of delicacy is greatly offended by the family’s table manners. (Close-up of old Bill Farrar attacking a plate of spaghetti. Lady with the sliding scale laugh reverses the key.) But Hilary is too noble to speak of his emotions. After supper, Hilary’s mother, going out on the back porch to call the dog, is struck by a bullet fired from ambush, and dies in her son’s arms. (Music now is ‘“‘Love Sends a Little Gift of Roses,’ with many touching arppeggios. Suddenly, a girl gives an awful gulp, then cries in an agonized voice, “I’ve swallowed my gum!’’ Reaction on part of audience from tears to laughter. Effect of sob scene entirely lost.) To his dismay, Hilary discovers that Daniel O’Grady, Nora’s father, is his father’s feudal enemy, and probably fired the shot. Close-up of Hilary, registering manly resolve mingled with infinite pain, as he vows eternal vengeance on the O’Grady family. (End of Part III, Part IV will follow immediately.) A mighty conflict between love and duty takes place in Hilary’s soul. Duty triumphs, and with a groan of anguish he rushes out into the night to fulfill his resolve. Half way there, he discovers he has forgotten his gun, but still he keeps on — he will depend on brain and brawn. He arrives at the house as Daniel is playing checkers with his beloved daughter. With a dramatic gesture Hilary flings open the door and in measured tones announces, “‘You killed my mother, and now J have come to kill you.”’ Nora sways unsteadily, and then in a sudden inspiration seizes her beloved violin, and plays passionately “Silver Threads Among the Gold’”’ (The pianist doesn’t know the piece, so she plays the “‘Rosary.’”’?) And as Nora plays, hate turns to love in the hearts of the two men, and Daniel sobs on Hilary’s shoulder. Then, engulfed by his contrition, the old man stabs himself. Final touching scene of Hilary and Nora holding hands over the dead body, with tears streaming down their cheeks. The show is over, and a highly colored picture of a lady and gentleman of the eighties sitting precariously on the edge of a golden moon, bid us good-night. Slowly everybody ambles out, and we hear the lady with the funny laugh say, “Sweet picture, wasn’t it!” 1924 NIKE 153 ABBOTT, ELEANOR KENDALL ARENOVSKI, KATHLEEN Doris BATES, ELIZABETH BEAULIEU, PAULINE HUDON BERRY, RUTH STEVENS Briccs, RuTH ELISABETH BRITTAIN, May EDMERE BULLARD, KATHARINE BURNETT, KATHERINE CHARLOTTE BURNHAM, ELISABETH ABBOTT BURRINGTON, EMMA ESTELLE CHIPMAN, PRISCILLA CLEARY, ELIZABETH JANE COHEN, GRACE CROCKER, LILLIAN MAE CurTIS, KATHERINE Davis, MADELEINE ELIZABETH Davis, MARGARET ELIZABETH Davis, MuRIEL ELIZABETH Davis, VIOLA RUTH Day, ELEANOR Woops DupDLEY, DoroTHY HOOPER DWYER, VERNA GRANT EpMONDS, ALTHA ELLIS, GRACE SHIRLEY ELLIS, MARGUERITA BURR ENEGREN, SIBYL AMELIA ENTWISTLE, IRIS HATTIE FALK, SARAH FOLAN, CATHERINE LOUISE Gossip, HELEN FRANCES GRIFFITH, ESTHER RUTH GRIMES, DOROTHY HaicH, RutH DONNA HAINES, GERTRUDE MATTSON HALL, KATHERINE KING HALL, MARGARET May HARRADEN, ANNA COGSWELL HAYWARD, HELEN BARTLETT HELLER, CAROLYN MARX Hosss, BETHANA ELEANOR Hopkins, Cora ELISABETH HORNER, EmiILy ISABEL JONES, HELEN KELLEY, ELIZABETH HOLLIS KELLEY, HELEN MARGARET KniGcHT, Mary AMES LIPPINCOTT, GRACE LIVINGSTON, SOPHIE RUTH | Mason, ANNETTE ELIZABETH Juniors 125 Chestnut Street, Wakefield Palmer Avenue, Falmouth Meadville, Pa. 68 Graham Street, Biddeford, Maine Main Street, Norwell 70 Argyle Avenue, New Rochelle, N.
