NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY-NINE. BARBARA ZIEGLER ID) Te IBY IMC yak IE IO) IN} Y ovr first impression of Wheaton on the first day you arrive may be largely buildings and trees and a sense of bewilderment, but you will also retain a few import- ant faces—the girl who helped you find your room, the Senior who said ‘‘Hello’’ when she met you in the hall, and Miss Ziegler who greeted you so kindly that you immediately stopped fecling insignificant. To Miss Ziegler, whose welcome has meant much to us all, we dedicate this volume with the hope that in it she will find something of the Wheaton she so ably represents. Preface to NIKE Tue Yale professor who said that he was waiting to read ‘Gone with the Wind” until it appeared in the Reader's Digest was no more optimistic than the junior class when it tries to compress the four years of college life into a single volume. At the end of almost every sentence in Nike there ought to be a row of asterisks signifying that most of what was important has been omitted. All that can be done is to write a volume which is almost shorthand because it just strikes the high lights and needs to be read between the lines. How strange and old-fashioned and passé and delight- ful these records will appear to the members of the Class of 1939 when they come upon them sporadically in the future years. ‘Did I ever look like that?’’ will be varied with ‘‘I wonder where she is now!’’—for on graduation day the hand of Alma Mater takes the class, as a sower takes a handful of seed from his bag, and scatters it to the world’s end. But like a lay Bible this volume should be kept somewhere 1n the house where it will appear automatically once in every five years. Be sure and keep it out of the children’s way because they will cut the pictures out and use them for their school scrapbooks of the medieval period. And when you speak at the Alum- nae Banquet in 1980 your first words will probably be, “T was looking over Nike last night, published in the year I graduated. Ah, that was Wheaton’s Golden Age!

Remove one cog and the college would wheeze to a standstill. Each factor is im- portant, from the Dean’s Office to the Carpenter Shop, and what we would do were Mrs. Perry and the Bookstore suddenly whizzed away to Mars is unthinkable. The task of keeping red tape unsnarled is too often thankless; we wish to express our appreciation of the Adminis- tration of Wheaton College. Sine @ = me Pil a . The Office HEN, in the closing days of September, Josephine College, a Tyrolean hat cocked over her curls and a mental question mark in her attitude toward college, clicks up the steps of the Administration Building to register as a member of the class of Four- Years-From-Now, she finds to her relief that all is not strange and alien. In this re- ception room she waited for her subfreshman interview with Miss Ziegler and counted the candles on the chandelier, and now here is Miss Ziegler herself—deep-voiced, tall, quiet- ly reassuring—her first Wheaton friend. Someone young with a friendly smile— “I’m Miss Shelley’’—gives her a handful of bewildering appointment cards and papers. “Would you like to register?’’, and the new Wheatonite, clutching her cards, follows an upperclassman down a short dim corridor. In a high-windowed room, stands a table with piles of little white cards and myriad stubby pencils. There is a desk, and behind it a book and a pair of horn-rimmed glasses, and a pair of eyes with an expression that is pseudo-stern. ‘‘Howdy.”’ Miss Young. More cards—typed and inked in red and blue and black—and the freshman follows her guide to find the room indicated by one of the cards—a room which is barer than bare. . . But before many weeks the bare room is littered with pillows and pennants and posters, the red-figured cards mean some- thing after all, and there are names to go with all the strange new faces. One day, however, she receives something of a jolt—a yellow card in her mailbox! “Will you please call at the office of the Dean of Freshmen to see Miss Littlefield?’’ What does it mean? A.P.2 Too much noise? Did that Sophomore really report her? With definite misgivings, Josie sticks the card in the edge of her mirror under the snapshot of her brother until the appointed day... . The girl who looked like a senior but wasn't, turned out to be Miss Albro. ‘You may go right in,’’ she says, and there is Miss Mirtam FeroniA CARPENTER Littlefield. Forgetting her misgivings, Josie is soon telling her all about her old school, her courses, and her maybe-major, and it isn’t terrifying at all. On a later day, she learns to the depletion of her allowance that the Petty drawings and the Dartmouth banner gooed on the wall and the Klieg lights in her study lamp go not unrequited, and a white slip—' To Wheaton College, Dr.’’—turns her footsteps to the Bursar’s door. She can peek in at Miss Dunkle in her little office while Miss Shep- ard receipts the bill behind a barred win- dow, and Miss Robinson and Miss Wood- ward type furiously in the outer office. Information is to the Wheaton girl as the Delphi Oracle to the Greeks. Mad, with a telephone in each hand, nods toward the flowers on the desk, and fishes the keys to the Mary Lyon record cabinet out of the drawer. Mrs. Potter meticulously figures out the bus and train schedules from Norton to Kalamazoo and back, or tells someone what's playing at the movies in Taunton. At regular intervals, a voice over the house phone says, “Hello. This is Eleanor Tracy at Information. We've a telegram for you ...”’ Leaf after leaf is ripped from the calendar. Course card after course card is placed on Miss Shumaker’s desk in the Registrar's office. Miss Wheaton reads the latest New Yorker while waiting for her conference with the Dean, and chats with Miss Barker who can—wonder of wonders !—work and talk at the same time. Once inside, there are amaz- ing small animals on Miss Carpenter’s desk, and the serious business of overcutting or a changed major is topped off with a lively story of Bruin, or Lion’s latest antic and an invitation to come over to Hollyhock House. The President's office remains something of an inner sanctum, but the Wheaton girl catches occasional glimpses of Dr. Park as she goes past the window on her way to class, and other glimpses of Miss Remick through the open door of her office. And sometimes when the door of the President’s SarAH BELLE YOUNG Extma Dorotuy LitTLEeFIELD office 1s open, she can see the green walls, and the fireplace, and the portrait of Eras- mus. Perhaps her first acquaintance with the Alumnae Appointment Office comes when, after spending the summer as a camp coun- cillor, she fills out a summer work blank there. As the years slip by, she dons cap and gown and begins to think about appoint- ment pictures. Miss Ridlon’s twinkle be- comes more and more a part of every day, and the Wheaton girl finds herself coming more and more often to Miss Wadham and Miss Garfield for assistance in her problems of references and recommendations. Downstairs in the Administration Build- ing is Mr. Cutler’s office where she brings lamps that refuse to function and posters in need of framing. Here too is the postoffice, that torture of the hopeful female, and here the bulletin boards with their announce- ments and warnings and ‘‘Please sign be- low’’ signs. The Bookstore is one of the focal points of a Wheaton girl’s life. Whether she has lost her last pencil or gotten a run in her last pair of stockings, Mrs. Perry is her salvation. She spends hours trying to per- suade herself to buy a special edition of her favorite poet and then has to force herself not to. Maybe she succumbs to The New Yorker instead.

Wellesley [11] College Government Association CaroL SMITH Tue College Government Association has this year continued the work begun last year with the abolition of the reprimand system. It has striven for greater consonance with the students and has done much toward stream- lining the rules of the college—not to the extent of impetuous modernization and sud- denly extreme leniency, but rather with an eye to removing any ambiguity of statement in rules now binding. It is a process of sim- plification and reinforcement. Regulations which have become obsolete and unnecessary through lack of use have been crossed from the books or so reworded that they fit into the present scheme of things. This has been C.G.A.’s main task this year. The executive offices of the association were held this year by Carol Smith, presi- dent, Bettina Conant, vice-president; Marion Browne, treasurer, and Marion Price, secre- tary. Every Monday evening the Student Cabinet of C.G.A., composed of the officers, House Chairman, Social Chairman, and Student Auditor, meets in the Doll’s House to discuss cases that have come up. The name of the offender is never disclosed so that judgment must be impartial. But Cabinet is only the judicial branch of C.G.A. There is also the Board composed of the House Fellows, Dean, and Cabinet, which has legislative duties, and Council made up of C.G.A. officers, the Social Chair- man, and representatives of each class and various campus organizations, which is a deliberative body. The problems and cases confronting C.G. A. have been many this year as every year. Penalties have not been lacking, but there has been a genuine reason for each one im- posed, and if they seemed hard it is only be- cause of C.G.A.’s belief in the universal truth that punishment which is either not felt or easy to evade is no punishment at all. Routine work is usually taken for granted, and we seldom realize just how detailed and comprehensive are the functions of C.G.A. We hop aboard the Saturday bus to Boston with very little thought of the planning necessary to the trip. We accept the various systems of recording Chapel cuts and keep- ing track of week-ends with a placid disre- gard for bookkeeping. And the routine goes on smoothly; the House Chairman checks over the sign-out book and telephones In- formation before she goes to bed, the assis- tant House Chairman arises betimes on Sun- day morning to post the church sign-up. From the first day of college in the fall to the last signing out of the Senior Class in June, C.G.A. is a continually active organ- ization. This year for C.G.A. has been not only a matter of routine, but also a busy and com- plex furtherance of the new policies insti- gated last year. The Domestic Department Epita May Lincoin Tue way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Even so, we are perhaps most conscious of the Domestic Department through the habit of consuming three meals a day. The gayest dinner of the year is served the night before we leave for Christmas va- cation. Afterward, the entire college attends the Mummers’ Play for which the boar’s head is real and is prepared in the kitchen, brown and glistening with an apple in its mouth. Week-ends present a problem. To calculate how many people will be in the dining-room is generally pure guess work. In the fall, football games are astutely reckoned with; whether the game of the week is at Harvard or Princeton is a deter- mining factor. The domestic department caters for various campus coffees, receptions, and faculty teas. Tomato juice or milk and crackers are provided daily for the Nursery. Such an important event as the Freshman- Junior Bacon Bat requires cider, hot dogs, and rolls ordered by Miss Lincoln. This year the Riding Team had early breakfast in Em- erson dining room, a great advance from the half-hearted coffee making in Everett base- ment. Such events as Founder's Day meals with alumnae back, the Phi Beta Kappa din- ner, buffet supper for the winter ice carnival, dinner after the swimming meet and the Dance Recital require careful attention and expert planning. Market day comes on Tuesday at Faneuil Hall. The planning 1s done ten days in advance so that there is no last minute buying. But seeing that we are fed is not the only task of the Domestic Department. The mail is delivered three times a day (in spite of your personal opinion!), during exams we are provided with milk and crackers every night, and on Monday mornings we drag ourselves wearily out of bed in time to send our sheets to the laundry. The Domestic Department copes with mice in Stanton, providing mouse traps guaranteed to kill painlessly. It deals efficiently with trunks and boxes, repairs doorbells and broken windows, sends us trays when we have sniffles, and is altogether a liberal education in domesticity. Naturally the gargantuan task of keeping house for a family the size of Wheaton re- quires a large staff. Someone has to sweep up the tracks of the Wheaton girl who has never heard of doormats, someone has to do the supper dishes, someone has to keep track of how many handkerchiefs she sends to the laundry. We do not often have an Opportunity to express appreciation for be- ing so taken care of, and we should like now to say ‘thank you!”’ [14 ] Mea E MICs Departments of Instruction V E came across an interesting booklet the other day called the Bulletin of Wheaton College. It set down the entirety of knowledge in the simplest possible terms—such-and- such a course given at such-and-such a time by so-and-so. The title of a single course— let us say the History of Western Civiliza- tion—suggests untold vistas of human thought and human endeavor. For this rea- son, we read the booklet from cover to cover, experiencing as we did so a curious frustra- tion. There is so much to know and under- stand; we have no time to follow all these threads through the labyrinthine halls of man’s accumulated wisdom. The most we can do is enter and stare and follow one thread briefly. Wheaton College is fortunate in having for the guides through this labyrinth men and women of unusually broad interests and of the rare qualities which inspire exploration. Under their names in the catalogue are mapped out the wisdoms of which they are possessed. Let us attempt to picture it. Civilization’s two great rivers, the East and the West, have flowed over many cen- turies of man’s existence, and we, going for- ward with these rivers, will confront the recurrent problems of the Florentines, the Venetians, the Orientals. To prepare today’s student for the art which she must evaluate tomorrow, the Art Department endeavors to enrich her background and experience and to sharpen her perception. Under Dr. Seaver, Dr. Neilson, Dr. van Ingen, Miss Randall, and Miss Lorentzen, the Department trains students in an increasing appreciation. Be- sides the more conventional historical and theoretical courses in painting and sculpture, Wheaton offers an experimental course— Elements of Composition in the Arts. This course, which ts listed in the catalogue for the first time this year, might be defined as pragmatic aesthetics—dealing with the arts so as to show their interrelationship, par- ticularly in criticism and appreciation. The basic similarities of the arts of music, paint- ing, sculpture, poetry, and the dance are surprisingly numerous. The course 1s still admittedly in the experimental stages, but the results so far have been extremely stimu- lating both to students and to faculty. To see things clearly and as a whole, to see that true art belongs not only to the past but that it also lives today in good advertis- ing and in animated cartoons, to see that it is related to life and is not a thing apart— these are the essentials which the Art De- partment endeavors to point out to its stu- dents in their journey through the laby- rinth. Down another hallway of the maze we find the world of plant and tree. You may know an amoeba from a pine and a fern from [15] a frog, but you may not know that there 1s a definite link between them in the Botany and Zoology departments—Bacteriology. This course, offered by the Botany department, correlates with both the study of medicine and the study of hygiene. It is an advanced course taught by Dr. Rice, the head of the department. Popular as ever are General Botany, taught by both Dr. Rice and Dr. Faull, and Plant Physiology. For seven suc- cessive years the Plant-Culture class has tak- en prizes at the Massachusetts Horticultural Society's annual flower show. The green- house, under the care of Miss Hequembourg, is an interesting feature of the department's work. This year’s biggest problem is the reconstruction of the perennial gardens and the Arboretum, which were so_ beautiful before the hurricane. The fallen trees are being removed, and rows of spring-blooming bulbs planted in the bare stretches. Another task undertaken by the Botany department this last year was the making of a detailed map of the Arboretum, the surrounding land, and the trails—an extremely valuable piece of work. A further hallway opens into a lab where the uninitiate stands in amazement lost be- fore an array of test tubes and Bunsen burn- ers. Chemistry is explained by Professor Evans, Miss Marshall, and Miss Thompson, with time out for tea. You may be studying Organic or Theoretical, but you probably like tea in beakers with citric acid for lemon. Moreover, you are becoming, aware of the elements of which existence is made. Another turn and one enters a realm of diminishing returns. Listen carefully to Professor Jennings, Mrs. Hidy, and Dr. Schumpeter. The income tax becomes simple. Economics students can be spotted by their scanning of the stock market reports while they wait for buses to the Ford Assembly line. Sociology students on the other hand, are known by their quizzical look which questions whether you are reacting from your environment as they are. Miss Not- tingham and Dr. Cressey try to clarify the social relations of a community, to show the effects, both direct and indirect, of geogra- phy, and to differentiate the Contract and Organismic theories of society. In Economics you can find the theory of all business re- lations, while in Sociology you discover the classifications of all social relations. Both departments are fundamental to an under- standing of our world. Voices speaking in the best traditions of English prose lead us on into the labyrinth. The English tongue and English literature constitute a maze of their own. The depart- ment includes within its field English and American poetry, drama, prose writings, and instruction in elementary and advanced com- position. The practical work in the theatre has been of great interest this year. Indi- vidual members of the class in Dramatic Theory and Practice have designed theatres [16 ] and costumes, written and directed plays. The English department reluctantly said good-bye to Mr. Boas, head of the depart- ment, and Mrs. Boas when they sailed for Europe after midyears. During their ab- sence Mrs. Ballou has taken over their Junior and Senior Tutorial classes with Mr. Mat- thiessen and Mr. Houghton of Harvard University lecturing to the Juniors. The in- structors in the English department under Mr. Boas are Mrs. Boas, Miss Shepard, Mrs. Mackenzie, Mrs. Ballou, Dr. Sharp, Mr. Earle, Miss Tweedle, Miss Winslow, and Miss Rice. Another language in the labyrinth—Ger- man. With the increasing demand of the day for universality, we find a proportionate demand for study in foreign languages. This interest seems to be especially marked in the German department. Not only do we find courses in German grammar and in the liter- ature of the country, but there is also a course in the folklore and customs of Ger- many—Kulturkunde, a course conducted by Dr. Korsch. We find on campus a German club under the guidance of the department, which presents a Christmas party every year at which German carols are sung and kuchen are served. The members of the German de- partment are Professor Korsch, Miss Kramer, and Miss Crawford. Language, the tool of thought, has many of its roots in Greek and Latin. Understand- ing of these leads to a greater proficiency in and a finer appreciation of expression. The field of philology reveals much in respect to these great languages. Roman and Greek civilization, are divulged by their language and literature, which in turn reflect upon the language and literature of Europe. The civilization of Greece, a bulwark against the infringing Orient, is a mere phase in the long chain of events that have made up wes- tern civilization, and yet the things that are Greek are the touchstone of the ages. The study of the classics reveals other fields. History, politics, the thoughts and beliefs of men are disclosed to us. Once the language of all Europe, Latin is now the international tongue of science. The classics department, under Dr. Work, Dr. Lynn, and Dr. Eliza- beth Evans, views the past with an eye to understanding the present. Another turn in the maze and the ages are spread before our eyes. History is not only a political survey of the growth and decline of certain countries, but also deals with the cultural, economic, and social aspects of civilization. These broader differences in customs and habits often are responsible for the type of government and the political events of a nation. To understand present- day world events, it is necessary to observe those events and evolutionary stages which have gone before. History is not merely a sequence of past events. Factual history must be interpreted and given relationships in order to be seen with its full significance. [17] Political science makes possible a more de- tailed study of current governmental sys- tems and events which occur in and between the various governments. The daily paper may help you to follow what is going on in the world today, but Professor Hubbard will help you to understand these events. Under Dr. Hubbard the History department in- cludes Dr. Gulley, Mr. Knapton, and Mr. Hidy. The mathematicians gather on the sand to draw circles. The universe is amenable to x and y, and the ultimate is unrevealed in o. Or so it would seem to those of us who have not progressed beyond plane geometry and quadratics. For the student of mathe- matics the science is not so occult. It serves physics and chemistry and the social sciences by reducing data to the lowest and most workable terms. The department 1s—mathe- matically speaking—equal to Dr. Garabe- dian and Miss Watt. The sound of violin and ‘cello entices us around the next corner. The aesthetic experi- ence to be derived from music is extraordin- arily soothing and yet stimulating. Even in these days of swingaroo and hot trumpets the stately airs of Bach, the lovely melody of Mozart, the grandeur of Beethoven are loved and appreciated even by the so-called young- er generation. The truth of this statement 1s illustrated by the fact that the enrollment in music classes at Wheaton increases yearly. This year lecture classes were much larger, and a new appreciation course was intro- duced. There are already two victrolas which are constantly busy, and a third could be used. Besides appreciation there are classes in piano, organ, instrumental music, voice, harmony, and counterpoint under the direc- tion of Mr. Ramseyer, Dr. Garabedian, Miss Brohaugh, Miss MacLeod, Miss Totten, and Miss Wood. Miss Brohaugh has directed the orchestra this year, which played at Found- [ 18 | er's Day exercises and the Christmas choir concert. Senior music majors also conducted a Sunday vesper service in the spring. We come next in the endless twistings of man’s knowledge to that subject which is perhaps the oldest and the most venerable of all—Philosophy. Up through the ages, however, Philosophy has, like the phoenix, recreated itself. For us it is a synthesis of all our gleanings from other turnings of thought; Dr. Mac, Mrs. Clark, and Dr. Sprague show it to us as an accumulated wisdom of the past which is startingly applicable to our own lives. It is the all-inclusive study of life. Only one step further and we come upon Dr. Shook in the midst of an experiment, shaking his head and saying, ‘Well, if we had enough time and if the conditions were right, it would work.’’ Physics deals with those changes in matter and energy which do not involve changes in the composition of substances. If you have long wondered about the colorful arrangement of weights, pulleys, and machines which inhabit the basement of the Doll’s House, a course in Physics would explain it. In relation to music there is a fascinating course on the nature of sound and on the mechanical differences of various musical instruments. For a student interested in mathematics, there are mechanics courses taught by Mr. Garabedian, which apply mathematical formulas to physics problems. Man has begun to know himself as Aris- totle once suggested, and in psychology one finds the intricate labyrinth of man’s con- sciousness. Psychology 1s the science of how man works. It discusses his mentality, the development of his perception, the change in the sutures of the bones. Dr. Hunt tries to discover the simple facts of attention, Miss Amen is concerned with the mental and physical developments of children and will send you over to the nursery school, where Miss Chandler and Miss Jacoby are incharge, to observe. The great complications of the opposing theories of the Behaviorists, the Configurationists, and the Vitalists are ex- plained and made simple by Miss Rickers. The prayers of men are in all corners of the maze we are exploring. Religion is no 1so- lated thing. It is a part of our lives whether we think of ourselves as religious or not. The department of Religion attempts to broaden the knowledge we have of religion, to place us in a background of all religions, all philosophies of religion so that we may wisely estimate our own beliefs. Contemporary religion may be studied both factually and philosophically. As a feature of this course Dr. Sprague has invited other men to speak on their particular spec- ialties within the field. One may study the Old and the New Testaments as literature, or follow out the philosophic implications of religion. Whatever phase one concerns one- self with, one is never far from the primary interest of man’s beliefs. Within our labyrinth we come upon an accumulation of tongues—the Romance Languages. French, Spanish, and Italian are filling the air with syllables and meaning. Professor Riddell, Miss Metivier, Miss Park- er, Miss Buchler, Miss Littlefield, Mrs. Travis, and Miss Pond are talking. We listen as they speak of a wealth of literature and custom and civilization. Southern Europe outlines itself in our brain with all the color and imagery of which language is possessed. A few more turns and we come upon Zoology. Someone is studying a lobster with advice from Miss Voter; someone 1s listening to Dr. Lange explain the cells of the body. The Zoology department presents a jumping- off place for those who plan to go on in the study of medicine or in research or laboratory work. Beside the theory and fundamental facts studied in class, many groups are taken on field trips to study animal life in its nat- ural environment. The General Zoology class makes an annual trip to the seashore for marine life, and the Comparative An- atomy students are given the opportunity to observe operations in a Providence hospital. And so we come through the labyrinth, and close the Wheaton Bulletin, and try to decide what courses to take next year! [19 ] Phi Beta Kappa Puyuuis Burkett, 39 Natatie JOHNSON, 939 Constance Newton, 7°39 SHIRLEY SHELDON, 739 JANET Smock, '39 RutH Warren, 740 VIRGINIA WHITAKER, 39 Elected in her Junior year Departmental Clubs Acora is a purely honorary society with Dr. Clifford C. Hubbard as Faculty Advisor. There are constitutional provisions regard- ing marks and Junior or Senior standing as regards membership. The activities are neces- sarily lectures and discussions. This year Agora planned to have a more active organization and provided for month- ly instead of semiannual meetings. On Octo- ber fifth a coffee was given in Hebe after an International Relations Council. The faculty members of History, Economics, and Sociol- ogy departments were invited guests of the club. There was a formal joint-meeting with Psyche in Hebe on November thirtieth. Mr. Ralph P. Boas spoke on “‘Some Problems Connected with Research in Modern Shake- spearean Scholarship.’’ The members of both clubs and the faculty of the English, History, Economics, and Sociology departments were invited. There were monthly meetings from Febru- ary until May including two faculty speak- ers, Dr. Hubbard on ‘‘Education in a Liberal Arts College,’ and Mrs. Hidy’s speech on George Peabody. There was also a Forum for members on current problems, and a discussion of the Honors work of Natalie Johnson on ‘‘Mark Twain”’ and Lois Murphy on ‘Lynching in the South.” The members are: Doris Barber Clara Boss Mary Hubbard Natalie Johnson Rebecca Dooey Lois Murphy Natalie Fairchild Madeline Ross Ruth Warren Art Club, with its infinite possibilities of contact with near-by intellectuals and current events in the field of art, has had especially important meetings this year. At the opening tea Miss Seaver spoke on her trip through the Near East during which she studied Early Christian and Mohamme- dan art in Egypt, Palestine, Syria, Asia Minor, and Greece. The animated cartoon suddenly reached a new high on campus when Robbin Field called Walt Disney “To-day’s Mickey Angelo’’ at a lecture sponsored by the Art Club! Government activities in contemporary American art have been well represented at Wheaton. Margaret Plumer and Ellen Berney selected pictures from the Federal Art Project for the exhibition in the library. A high point of the features sponsored by the Art Club was Mr. Charles Connick’s lecture on stained glass in both Europe and America, illustrat- ed by brilliant, jewel-like slides. The president of this organization is Margaret Plumer and the secretary-treasurer is Janice Fisher. The Classical club began its season with a housewarming at Miss Work’s new home, at 46 College Green. Mrs. Park gave a short talk about her tour to Rome. There were two annual meetings, to which the student body was invited. The first was in November, and the speaker was Dean Paul Nixon, of Bowdoin College, who ad- dressed the audience on the subject “Poets Perforce.’’ During the first week of February a showing of the cartoon film, Aristophanes’ ‘Clouds,’’ was sponsored by the club. The officers of the club are Hannah Bard- well, president, and Priscilla Howard, sec- retary. It has been a year of great activity for Der Deutsche Verein, marked by a revision of membership requirements. Membership is now open to all German-speaking people; those who have had at least three years of high school German; and those who have obtained four B’s in the language here and are continuing their studies of it. This is a welcome revision from the old rules which were more limited. First among social activities was the an- nual reception for new members. Mr. Korsch, as guest, spoke of the present German situa- tion. On November 2 the club held an open pala) meeting for the benefit of those non-members who wished to hear Miss Lois Peterson tell of the youth hostels in Germany. Mrs. Korsch served coffee for the speaker and members of the club. The high spot of the year—the Christmas Party—was held jointly with the Romance Language Club on December 12. The evening was filled with songs, games and especially prepared German food. The last speaker of the year was Dr. Kurt Lewin, who is connected with the Harvard Psychological Clinic, and was previously with Iowa State University. His subject was ‘“‘The German and the American Char- acter.’’ Coffee in Hebe Parlor gave faculty and club members opportunity to meet Dr. Lewin.

Notable first were the interesting speakers. Natalie Johnson told of her summer in Elsinore, Denmark’s Inter- national People’s College, as Geneva scholar of last year. Professor Sidney Fay lectured on “Germany and Europe After Munich,’’ and later Donald Grant of Scotland treated “Great Britain’s Foreign Policy.”’ As a new subdivision of the I.R.C., the Debating group held a debate on the Czecho- slovakian Crisis, and work was done by a new Discussion group. This year Jean Walther, Wheaton’s Model League chairman, was a member of the Continuations committee of the New Eng- land Model Assembly which decided to change the Model League into the New England Conference for Foreign Affairs. It was also decided to hold three regional meetings, the second of which was held here at Wheaton. Over sixty students repre- senting twelve colleges were welcomed by Dr. Park. Round Table groups discussed PRESIDENTS OF DEPARTMENTAL CLuBS [ 22 ] “The Nature of Aggression in the World Today in Europe, the Far East, and South America.’ Chase Kimball, a member of the Board of Directors of the League of Nations association spoke in the afternoon. Six delegates went with Dr. Knapton to the New England Conference of Internation- al Relations Clubs at the University of New Hampshire. At this conference Betty Russell was elected corresponding secretary for next year. INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB COUNCIL Prestdent—Natalie Johnson Secretary-Treasurer—Beth Fiske Librarian—Jean Woodruft Geneva Scholarship Chairman—Muriel Bruce Publicity Chairman—Mary Ann Lynen Program Chairman—Clara Boss Campus Chairman of the New England Conference for Foreign Affairs—Jean Walther Faculty Advisor—Dr. Knapton Discussion Advisor—Miss Gulley On October 19, the Music Club sponsored a concert-lecture by Mr. Lamb, a teacher of music at the Middlesex School in Concord, Mass. Mr. Lamb spoke on Gilbert and Sul- livan and he illustrated his talk with songs from various operas. After the lecture, a coffee was held in Hebe Parlors for the Music Club Members. At this Mr. Lamb played and sang several other songs. On December 13, the Music Club held its Christmas party for both the old and new members. The program consisted of musical games, refreshments, and the playing of a Franck Sonata by Mr. Ramseyer. On March 10, Music Club presented a Pops Concert. In this Miss Winslow played a drum solo, accompanied by Ann Tomkin- son; Helene McCallum played Wheaton songs; a Novelty Orchestra under the direc- tion of Barbara Davis played two selections; Muriel Browne danced to Hawaiian music and Mr. Ramseyer played several selections on the Harpsichord; a one-act opera was given by Music Club members—‘‘An Act of Up-To-Date Grand Opera.’ Alice Edenborg is president of the Club, Sally Kitching is vice-president, and Anne Johnson is secretary-treasurer. Informal meetings of Psyche in its effort to return to the old traditions, are among the pleasantest memories of the Juniors and Seniors in this honorary society. The first meeting was formal, given in conjunction with Agora at which Mr. Boas spoke on ‘Some Aspects of Shakespearean Scholar- ship.’’ At the next meeting two seniors gave reports on two recent publications, and at the following meeting four Juniors gave read- ings from their own work. In April Mrs. Park entertained Psyche at her home, speak- ing on Mary Webb. Selections from an hon- ors paper on the Arthurian Legend were given at an informal meeting in May. The in- formality of Psyche has developed student contributions and participation as the so- clety was originally intended. The officers are Elizabeth Jenny, president, Shirley Sheldon, vice-president and Con- stance Anderson, secretary-treasurer. The members are Clara Boss, Katherine Bredow, Evelyn Danzig, Edith Feinberg, Marian Louise Freeman, Louise Hayes, Mary Hus- sey, Natalie Johnson, Alison Kimpton, Ruth Lawrence, Mary Ann Lynen, Edna F. Mann, Jane Morgan, Constance Newton, Margaret Plumer, Mildred Poland, Madeline Ross, Elizabeth Shaw, Janet Smock, Ernestine Weinbaum, Eleanor Wells. To give a larger group the opportunity to participate in its activities the Romance Languages Club this year changed the re- quirements for membership from four B's and continued study, to two B’s and an inter- est in the language. With this modification, twelve new members were admitted. During the year the club sponsored movies which were open to the student body . One of these was the French film, ‘‘Pasteur,’’ and the other an Italian picture, “‘L’Amor che Canta.’ (‘Three Lucky Fools’’). In Decem- [ 23 ] ber it joined the German Club for the annual Christmas party. Spring brought a Spanish fertulia for the Spanish students of the club, at which Miss Pond’s sister sang. Mr. Ramseyer played at a tea at which the new members were intro- duced, and later on a picnic was planned for the entire club.

The first meeting of the year was a closed one held in October. At this time the new members were greeted, and Dr. Shook, of Wheaton, spoke to us informally on Science and Music. He emphasized the music of the Harpsichord, showed slides of various types of harpsichords. At the November meeting, Mr. Levitt of Tamworth Associates gave a brief history on Glass Ware, illustrating his lecture with slides, and closing with a dem- onstration of glass blowing. The apparatus made at this time was presented to the Chem- istry Department. For the second open meet- ing, which was held in March, Mr. Hudson Hoagland, of Clark University, lectured on Electricity and Nerve Physiology. The last meeting of the year was a closed meeting held on May tenth. Miss Shirley Ide spoke on her work at Harvard and the opportuni- ties for science majors after college. Coffee was served after each meeting, giving the members of the Science Club a chance to meet the speaker of the evening, and to enjoy a further discussion of his work.

Thus, one belongs not only to the college community, but also to a certain college year. Class rings are reminders, as are blue books, the seating arrangement in Chapel, elections, hash-meetings, and the particular traditions of a particular year. Class of 1942 Tuesday, September 20th Dear Diary: Arrived at Wheaton College (Norton, Massachusetts) around ten. Looks like a nice place. My room just about the dreariest thing I’ve ever looked at—bare floor, cur- tainless window, unmade cot, etc. Bought a second-hand lamp and chair (or maybe they were third-hand) in the basement of one of the buildings—I think the money goes for some good cause or other. Freshman banquet at night, at which we all got dolled up in evening dresses and looked each other over. Wednesday, September 21st Dear Diary: Am not so sure I like this place after all. Mom and Dad left this afternoon, and then we had an awful storm at night. If this were a South Sea Island or something, I would have called it a hurricane, but being what it is I won't exaggerate.—Golly, but they really do believe in keeping you busy around here. Today I had: 1) a library conference, 2) a remarkably painless medical exam, and 3) a speech test. After the medical exam (I’m healthy, by the way) I had to go over to the gymnasium and try on my ‘‘athletic costume.’ One good thing about all these various conferences and stuff is that you begin to learn what the different buildings are for. I don’t think I'll ever know them all, though—lI got lost just coming to my room today. Thursday, September 22nd Dear Diary: It really was a hurricane! And now Provi- dence is flooded! Gosh, but I hope my family are all right. Had my first classes today—lI think it’s going to be sort of harder than school. Class- es are an hour, except for Botany, and that takes up three hours of two of my after- noons a week! Friday, September 23rd Dear Diary: I'm practically beginning to feel at home here now! This afternoon I had to go and have my freshman photograph taken. You write your name on a little strip of blackboard, and then have your picture taken crouching over it. After that I went to take my swim- ming test. I was perfectly sure I wasn’t going to pass, but I did. At night there was a pic- nic, but because of the rain it was held in the gym. Fun—we ate hot dogs. I’m awfully afraid that my ‘‘slim girlish figure’’ isn't going to stay with me very long, at the rate I’m eating! Saturday, September 24th Dear Diary: At night got all evening-dressed-up and went to the President's Reception—he is so nice! Told us an awfully funny story in a lovely Irish brogue. More good food! Sunday, September 25th Dear Diary: Went to the Wheaton Inn for breakfast with my Junior sister and lots of other people—the most delicious rolls I've ever tasted—nice and hot and butterscotch-y— gosh but they’re good. Then church. Home seems so far away—lI feel as if I'd been here forever. And it hasn't even been a week yet! Monday, September 26th Dear Diary: We have to wear big huge cardboard sandwich-boards with our name on them, and where we come from—the letters have to be at least two inches high. And we have to wear them for a week. Gee, but do I ever feel silly! And if we're caught without them, something simply dreadful will happen to us. I know perfectly well I'll forget mine sometime! Oh dear! Wednesday, September 28th Dear Diary: Tonight was the candlelight service, which was one of the loveliest things yet. I went with my junior sister; I'm glad— somehow I didn’t want to be with a lot of other unknowing freshmen. Afterwards, everybody went down to the pond, shielding their candles from the wind with their hands. In the other years, my junior sister told me, they've let the candles sail on the pond, which I think would be nice. But we didn’t do that, all because of the hurricane. You see, nobody in Norton has any electricity but us, so they have to use candles, and as the supply is running low, we donated these to them. It was nice of us, but I would have liked to have seen them all floating on the water in the dark- ness of the night. Dear Diary: Wednesday, November 30th Our class officers were announced today. There was a notice on the Bulletin Board saying, “Come see the visitors from the North Pole, at 1:10 today.’’ They all came running down the side of the dimple in parkas and ski-pants, were announced by the Junior officers, and then given beautiful bouquets. President is Nicky Messinger, Vice-President, Meg Herron, Secretary, Bet- ty Ann Fell, Treasurer, Tommy Snyder, and Carol Bryan is the Song Leader. At this point I almost think I admire Carol more than any of the others—I’ll never forget that night when we all had to try out for her job. I was scared to death, and I sure made a fool of myself, trying to lead ‘Skinimarink- idink-idink! ’ P.S. I’ve gained ten pounds! Must reduce! Wednesday, February 8th Dear Diary: Dartmouth Carnival has nothing on us! Sally Peck has been doing some snow sculpture, which is dotting the campus at various conspicuous places. There’s a Think- er on the edge of the Dimple (such an inap- propriate subject to have on a college camp- us!) and an awfully inquisitive looking Tom the Peeper peering into Jean Nevius’ room. They're really good, too. Monday, April 17th Dear Diary: Seven weeks from now my freshman year will be over. Gosh but that seems impossi- ble! I've looked up to college all my life, and I can’t believe now that I’m just about one quarter the way through it! Everything's happening all at once. We draw for our rooms in about a week. And then, before we know it, Finals will be upon us. Work’s piling up so it’s awful— I don’t think I'll ever get everything done. But college is swell, anyway. P.S. Have gained fifteen pounds! I must reduce! ee ee ee Class of 1941 Tue year began with a crash. Those of us who were here that first college day in Sep- tember, watched the pines go down one by one, and standing on the open campus under a fantastic yellow sky, were nearly carried off by the roaring hurricane winds. Some- how this was an omen. We were sophomores at last, and this seemed to be a symbol of all that was to be exciting during the year. The storm was initiation to the dignity of being upperclassmen. Last year we carried books in bureau drawers, put our new lipstick beyond temp- tation’s reach, counted paces, and obediently wore cumbersome pasteboard signs. We looked forward then to this year when doors would be held for us, when our revenge would culminate in the Sophomore-Fresh- man party. And the time had come. Dancing through a park under a midnight sky lighted with frosty silver stars, we real- ized that we had truly come into our own. To be sure the corsages we wore were doomed to eternal withered lives in scrapbooks with the label “Soph Hop’’, but somehow they would mean more than that. They would mean five Sophomores climbing out of a window to be announced as our class of- ficers—Helen Johnson, president, Alice Can- by, vice-president, Jean Edgar, secretary, Alice Braunlich, treasurer, Martha Elizabeth Ransom, song-leader. There was the gaiety of Christmas time, and the Mummers’ Play rehearsals. We re- garded it as a season entirely our own. Some of us danced through the dining rooms in jesters’ costumes ringing silver bells, some of us wore romantic satin gowns and took part in “‘Saint George and the Dragon.’’ We went to the Nativity Play feeling as though we shared in it because it was the production of our sister class. Standing in the snow around the lighted tree, we knew that this had been only half of our part in the making of Wheaton’s history. Kneeling under the golden seal of Pan, we Shee ees aie cet ianadnk i 7 3 4 felt the magic wand touch our shoulders as a sign that we were initiated into the royal and mystic order of 1941. Our rings were heavy those first few days, and their strange- ness was fascinating. How could they ever become merely class rings? There was a Senior-Sophomore party in the Gym, with plenty of noise and eats and dancing. An arrow flew across campus and struck one of the trees, quivered in the bark. May Day was a pageant of Robin Hood and his merry men. Our May Queen, Jean Hare, made her impressive, flower-strewn entrance from the Library, followed by her attend- ants, Edith McHutchinson and Frances Tur- ner. We had waited for this all year, for the pageant of bright costumes moving across the lawn, for the thrill of knowing at last who the Queen was. We who were spectators that day had spent long hours in the cos- tume room draping models, and had watched the rehearsals day by day. The pageant was something familiar. These were only the calendar events of Sophomore year. We ate cinnamon toast at the Inn and drank cokes at Marty’s. We played bridge in the Sem after lunch, lay on old blankets on the red tile gym roof, spent the wee sma’ hours alone in the black mys- tery of a dormitory basement with only the clack of a typewriter to keep us company. Suddenly energetic, we rode a bike to Bar- rowsville and back. After the second light dip we argued politics and discussed love and settled relativity. Every morning we made a dash from the Chapel to the post office, establishing records for the 1-8 mile. We went here, there, everywhere in no time at all—a meeting, a class, dinner. In Chapel there was the exciting announcement that some morning we would awake to the sound of a steam shovel breaking ground for the new S.A.B. building. Georgia did posters with red lips very much in evidence. Kings- ley had difficulty with a coke bottle. During spring vacation Edie was within a ten-mile radius of F.D.R. and some of us went to Bermuda. Exams appeared on the horizon, in the offing, were, in fact, just around the corner. We bethought us of Commencement and daisy chains. We hashed with an appro- priate violence. ae OR Z ye, Over the columned portico of the Library is the inscription “‘That they may have life...'’ We have already had much abund- antly, we have already survived Sophomore year. Nay, we have not merely survived. We have enjoyed the very things about which we have grouched, we have become integral in campus life, and the traditions, customs, and mores (see Soc. 1) of Wheaton have become integral in us. “‘Where, oh where are the silly, silly Sophomores?”’ The answer depends on exams! Class of 1940 V V HERE oh where are the jolly juniors? Where oh where are the—’’ We're a little skeptical about that word ‘‘jolly.”’ And where are they, indeed? That is the question. Spring brings an avalanche of hour exams and papers to most juniors, who are obliged to bury themselves in the Libe behind a mountainous pile of books. Occasionally you ll find a stray member of the class of ‘40 in Marty's furtively sipping a coke, or sunning on the Roof in black glasses. Oc- casionally you see someone silently stealing away for a week-end, but time and tide wait upon no man. If John comes down from Harvard he is immediately pressed into ser- vice analyzing Spinoza or quoting Milton, and picnics on the Cape have become a dis- cussion of the Function of Reason. We are older now, having put away the passions and peace of a sophomoronic year. We are aware of the divine imminence of June in all her manifestations. But lest you think the accent on academicism overdone, let us hasten to assure you that we have our lighter side! We returned in September as junior sisters to a brand new freshman class, a freshman Hy] LJ SSS. class who wore clean saddle shoes and took us to dinner at the Inn. Blissfully ignorant of the potentialities of Sally Peck and Middy Hollis, we agreed upon the quiet dignity of our younger sisters. In October, Hessie, Ginny Ely, Allie Kimpton, Betsey and Top- sy, wearing convict’s uniform, were sen- tenced to a year’s hard labor as our new class officers. Having presented Beth Fiske’s dra- ma Grown Up as our Founder's Day contribu- tion, we played all through the Fall, climax- ing our social activities with an extempore Night - Before-Christmas-Vacation party. “Social whirl. Something happening every minute,’ to quote Eeyore. We boarded the Senator in distinctly happy mood, wearing silver bells and a sprig of holly, carrying seven large suitcases. ..After a pause for re- laxation in Cleveland, Charlottesville or the German-American Club, we _ hurried back to study for exams and ski at North Conway. Snow sculpture appeared overnight in the Dimple, and thousands of optimistic people went skating on Peacock Pond. Jane Dent appeared as Doctor Hubbard in Vaude- ville, and Mary Ann Lynen gained immor- tality with her impersonation of Mr. Sharp. [ 32 | Of course we were campused, C.G.A. cau- tioning us not to go down to the end of the town without consulting them. We slept through Chapel and forgot to go to Gym, and found Overdue! Library notices in our post-office boxes. Following the example of international politics, we rapidly became class conscious, hearing the college officers for next year announced as result of March elections. With a glow of pride we watched Priscilla Howard receive her bouquet as President of C.G.A., and Ruth Darnell as President of Y.W. walking up the aisle for her flowers. Jeanne Adams became A.A. Head, Marion Hubbell inherited Dramatic Association, and Betty Shaw began to write editorials for the Wheaton News. We smoked in Emerson for the first time at Prom banquet, juniors and seniors joining together in a dance in a Manhattan pent- house. Juniors took part in May Day and in the Dance Recital, and played hide-and- seek on campus in the annual Frolic... There are fewer of us this year; we have settled down to hard work and tried friend- ships, and we are somehow closer together as a unit and a class. We have in common certain pictures that we'll remember as criteria of 1938-39: Betty Barker reading all of Huxley in a week; Margery Bach and Betty Wray headlining a News article. We'll remember the Song of the Girl Preserves, Ellen Berney and the Refugee Student. We have congratulated Hats Gallagher, who is the new Dance Group Head, and we have sympa- thized with Nancy Wolf, who has sun spots before her eyes. Beth Fiske has been chosen the Geneva Scholar with Natalie Fairchild as alternate, and ‘‘Heads of Houses’’ have been appointed, including Allie Kimpton, Ellen Berney, Dot Wellington, Ruth War- ren, Phyl Howe, Jan MacPherson, and Julia Billings. We are impressed with the earnest- ness of being important! Then one day we saw Betty Conant, re- cently-elected senior president, rolling down the slopes of the Dimple. We've watched the mails anxiously for letters from Mary Carpenter in England, Enzie Bamberger and pee 2 5 | paid bod Wd Luella Davis in France. We miss Cammy and Trench, and wish they were here...Ruth Warren was the first of our class to capture a Phi Bete key, while Barbie Lathrope, Jan MacPherson, Kay Ryder and Eleanor Har- gan won distinction in the field of sports. Among our pictures we'll remember Janet and Buzzy and the Magazine Salesman, Marion and Tim tearing off in the car, and Betty Morse frantically assembling a Prom clean-up committee...Janet Scott building scenery in the Coal Hole; Nancy Scott with her arm in a sling; Laurie Steele leading the singing in the Sem while Ann Tompkinson a EE plays ‘‘That’s Luff’’ in approved Deitrich manner... Betty Burkhardt leaving Wheaton to be married; Helen Broadbent going math- ematical in Philosophy class; Trudy Hills bicycling down the Mansfield road...Ruth Zimmer as a regular passenger on the C.G.A. bus; Lenny Hodges and Barbara Merriam dancing in the Understudy Group; Nida Koelker and Betty Hoff visiting us after Spring vacation. Betty Adams directing Juliet in her Shakespeare production; Non- nie Anderson mourning the departure of Mr. Boas; Elly Wells and the Victrola Rec- ord...Dot Silverstein with a camera; Elsa Ekberg with a new hat, and Kathy Bredow with junior photographs for Nixe. We like Dot Sanborn’s stories, Teeny Dickson's red hair, and Gerry Kane anytime...We’re glad Mary Heald 1s back... We like to think about a man Jean Guthrie knows who's named John Robert James or something like that...We feel slightly frustrated when we think of Dot Daley who got a paper in a month ahead of time...We have fond mem- ories of Lois Dyer’s men in Vaudeville. We'll remember some unique possessions: —Allie’s sou’wester and Ruth Warren's Benny; Topsy’s fur piece and Barker’s red bandanna...Everett has a collection of champagne bottles...Jan Neal's small ani- mals in esoteric poses...Nonnie’s vast ele- phant, Crambambult...Ellen Berney’s Man- et and the water colors in Stanton’s third floor back. . .The editors vote Anne Breeding the owner of the best looking tweed skirts in college...We like Guthrie’s Mexican atmosphereand Ginny's belt-that-she-bought a-dress-to-go-with...Shaw and Wolf's pri- vate domicile in Stanton basement. ..Jane Morgan’s Nephrotite with the cracked nose ...Elly’s Jamaican relics...Ruth Haslam’s pacifistic violence... We'll remember Janis Lynch selling us mirrors that made us look gargantuan... and Audrey Picken’s monopoly on brown eyes. We reread the charter of the Drip Society occasionally. We're very fond of Betsey’s ‘“‘Lavender Cowboy.’ Alice Ein- stein’s large-brimmed hats intrigue us... We'll remember Janet Scott in Mademoiselle ...Dot Fitting in the Sem bidding no trumps...Ray Freeman on a bicycle. It comes to us with a certain shock of real- ization that juniors sign out in the registra- tion books more often than any other class. (Or are we _ self-conscious?) We wonder about this; we begin to ask questions. ‘Were you at Harvard or at Tech last week- end?’’ we query. ‘‘Virginia,”’ says Connie. Last seen, she was wandering vaguely in the [ 34 | direction of Charlottesville. We never neglect the North, however—Ann Tompkinson's Maine interest these days centers around Bowdoin. Where, or where, did you say? Well, take any list of institutions of higher learning, double it, et cetera. Also you'll sce the junior class resorting to the World's Fair, and we may even get to the Golden Gate exposition. Look for us window shop- ping on Tremont Street, Fifth Avenue, and possibly the Rue de la Paix. We browse in the Fogg, and travel to the New York Public Library to write term papers. We go to opera in Cleveland, the Theatre Guild in Boston, and the movies in Providence. We go to college in Norton. Going to college in Nor- ton involves Marty’s, and the “‘Sem,”’ and Hebe Parlours. It involves Mary Lyon and— to some extent!—the library. It means that we get up every morning in time to be locked out of the dining room, and go to bed every night in time to hear the cock crow. It means that we fall into Howard Street at regular intervals, and go canoeing on the reservoir. It means picnics on the Cape on the royal fare of bread and milk and bananas. It means that we never walk through the circle of light in the Slype, that we wish on our last bite of pie, and that we expect rain every Thursday. We sing “Vive l'amour’ with a more intense expression than any other class. For juniors alone is it really ex- hilarating to have a term paper due tomor- row and not a word of it written today; sophomores haven't acquired the art and seniors are too tired. We assume that fresh- men are still unaware of the necessity! We are not yet convinced that college will end. It seems perennial. However, we have a few plans for the dim future beyond 1940. Some of us are, of course, plotting matri- mony; some of us will, inevitably, be teach- ers and secretaries. Others of us will un- doubtedly set any number of rivers afire. We have in our midst the mother of the President whose term will begin in 1988. We are the class with which the great So-and-so grad- uated. And yet for the moment we are the junior class—and glad of it! It would seem that this has been a beauti- ful year. It has been a beautiful year. Briggs’ House has opened, we have a radio-vic in the Sem, and there’s a new brand of cigarettes at Pratt's. We are happy about the lighting situation in the Library and the beginning of the S.A.B. building. We take time out to stand on the gym roof and envisage an Art Center across Peacock Pond. And although we bid good-bye to the class of '39 with regret, we look forward to our senior year with the highest aspirations. Hold tight now, we're on the air! ‘‘Where, oh where are the jolly, jolly juniors? Where, oh where are the—’’ All those too tired to sing can hum. Class of 1939 Tue theme was a century old when we came to add our variation. Thousands before us had slipped into the pattern that was as eternal as the years themselves; thousands stayed a moment to deepen the tone, lighten the tempo. But with each change of cadence, the theme itself grew somehow stronger. Each four-year span composed its variation, so new, so different—then watched it pass into the subtle harmony of that underlying theme. The first class of a new century, we were conscious of the subtleties of the past. We were caught by the fascination of the theme we were soon to change. It was old, we felt, and we were young. . .Now, today, our vari- ation sighs to its close. There are but a few lingering notes to be added. So, before we write the final bar, let us hum it over here together. Let us run over it now together, while it is yet our own, before it becomes only the Wheaton Theme: Variation °39. It began softly, remember? A bit tremu- lously, in the confusion of that first week. We traveled incognito until we donned by sophomore order our name-signs. Then on a still night beside the pond, starred with floating candles, we smiled inside and felt we belonged. Robert Frost came soon and invited us all, faculty and students together, to discard academic robes and become with him a swinger of birches. The sky was Octo- ber blue that day over the chapel spire. It was March when we were first to congratu- late our junior sisters voted to major offices, when we chose our rooms as sure symbol we were soon coming back. And then that first summer, a rest in the music, but not a void,—filled with anticipa- tion, and eagerness to return, once more to pick up the theme where we had left off. An allegro note crept into the pattern that fall, gaiety, excitement, and a zest for life. We knew the tune now and we sang it lusti- ly. This October saw us winners on the competitive stage, saw us dancing among and eerie cornstalks jack-o'-lanterns. At Christmas-time we shouted our rejoicing to the heavy rafters of Emerson, and capered through the antics of the old, familiar play with infectious glee. Spring—and the theme grew stronger. From among us now was chosen a queen, ruling our hearts in the brief beauty of a May afternoon. We found our- selves accepted, at home; and as a symbol of our acceptance we wore the traditional gold- en ring of our class. The Seniors entertained us, we took our rightful place among the leaders of campus opinion; we could recog- nize at last our own melody shaping itself in the greater harmony of the college. That June we gathered daisies in the rain;—and it was not without a sudden deeper realiza- tion of the meaning of this pattern of which we had become a part that we watched them [ 37 ] carry thezr variation to its close. But music, when soft voices die, vibrates in the memory; and we brought to our junior year an added richness of harmony and tone, because of their friendship. And now we took their place, and wel- comed a new sister class to our circle of com- panionship. We tried to make them aware of that basic theme. Our friendship grew strong in the crisp autumn dusk as we sang to- gether in the firelight. One more spring, and the echoes of the theme grew more distinct; one more spring, before our variation should become a thing full and perfect, completely our own. The bright comradeship of a Tyro- lean village made our prom a grand evening of fun. In May we dragged our old hair-rib- bons from the depths of the drawer, put on rompers, and frolicked in the Dimple—one last enjoyment of childish things. Our last phrase opened in a minor key. The skyline of the College Pines was gone; we would not soon forget what others would never know. Then, we were daily appre- hensive of events in distant dictatorships, in the far East, in blasted Spain. We felt rest- less and helpless in the face of such chaos. But the security of the theme reasserted it- self; the strong, sure bass affirmed once more the eternal pattern. In traditional cap and gown we announced our class officers and proclaimed our seniority. Our melody took on a new dignity, a new mood and tempo, defined by the warmth and grace of the yel- low rose which was our symbol. We sang more surely now, as we inherited the senior traditions. We accepted the library steps as our own and found ourselves naturally using the front door of the chapel. It was the quiet, sacred beauty of the Christmas season that touched us now, and we paid humble tribute in the reverent re-enactment of Christ's nativity. We sang the old, ever love- ly carols in the silent night, and on that last frosty morning before vacation watched the light of our candles grow pale against the brightening dawn. We sensed now, as the music hastened to its close, the undertones and innuendoes of meaning which had before escaped us. Short spring days brought so many symbols of the classes which had gone before: bright flowers on the senior tables, dinner by candlelight at the Presi- dent's House, scrubbing the library steps eatly on May Day morning and singing for nearly the last time those friendly songs that are a part of our years at Wheaton. Soon we began to reminisce—should auld acquaintance be forgot--and a note of sad- ness crept in. Sentor Orricers [ 38 ] We feel it again today, as we look back on those four incredibly brief years. While we have sung together they have slipped by, into the eternal way of things. And yet the theme goes on, stronger perhaps and more beautiful for our slight variation. We have changed the cadence, deepened the tone; and now our variation too is blended with the lasting subtlety of the theme. The song is ended, but the melody lingers on... Class Will Tue Senior Class, believing itself to be of sound mind and sound body despite the ravages of four college years, does hereby will and bequeath to future Wheaton generations its capacity for assiduous labor, its Herculean efforts to cooperate with the Physical Education Department, and its genuine appreciation of the advantages of higher education, in particu- lar chapel attendance. To the Class of 1943 we leave our swing version of “Yellow Rose.”’ Not contented with this generous bequest, we wish individually to expressour magnanimity. Andy leaves completely perplexed by History 33. Millie Aylsworth leaves Prom without a chaperon. Doady Barber leaves the Sem without a Casanova. Hannah Bardwell forgot to leave anything. Where was Emily? Barry leaves off meeting trains at Mansfield. Beach and Meredith Landon leave their end of the table. Ruth Benner leaves her artistic talents to Betty Barker. Betty Blake exits dramatically. Lovin Bloom leaves a revised handbook. Muriel Bruce leaves a worn-out chair in the Libe. Clara Boss leaves with an ‘‘appointment’’ by Miss Ridlon. Phyl Burkett leaves the Chem Lab for once. Beth Butterfield leaves for better fields. Helen Codet leaves studying figures. Nancy Cox and Donna Rowell leave their gaits to Ruth Jacobs. Libby Crawley “‘casts’’ off for a change. Evie Danzig leaves ‘ Two-Points’’ to be settled next year. Doc Day leaves slightly dazed. Becky Dooey leaves as we do, or do we? Alice Edenborg leaves for another engagement. Fee leaves with the same old Dud. Edie Feinberg leaves her hair-twirling to Blodge. Jan Fisher leaves the Neater-Dress campaign to Janet Scott. Fiskie and Gabeler leave after selling all their clothes. Muriel Garney leaves her flute to Pan the class of ’41. Helen Gillette leaves after many close shaves.

Als EuizaBetH Davis ANDREWS West Hartford, Connecticut History We've often seen Andy tear into the Sem in her gray coat, and bright mittens. ‘‘Where’s Erk?’’ she asks, ‘“The Car's gone.’ “‘She’s in Mansfield,’ says Laurie. ‘‘Come on and make a fourth at bridge.’’. ..So Andy pulls up a green chair and bids no trump, and requests a piece from Ann Tomkin- son at the piano. ‘I got campused again today,’ she begins, ‘so Ican’t go to Marty’s. And Jean probably misses me at the Old Colony! Doesn’t someone want to get me a coke?”’ We are reminded that Andy is the greatest coke-drinker on campus, besides possessing one of the finest self-collected libraries in college. Her activities also include German Club and Romance Languages Club. MarGaret MILiiceEnt AYLSWORTH Detroit, Michigan Psychology We've always wanted to tie a red ribbon around Milly, put her in a cellophane box and carry her home. Maybe we'd choose her in a Dance Group costume (the ‘‘Prom”’ dress for example), or in a ski suit, ready to execute Christianias across New Hampshire mountains... Milly can be found in the Sem with Sue, visiting People on second- floor Stanton, or having a Little Something in Marty’s at four. She’s generally in the Gym these evenings, learning new choreography under Mrs. Gallagher’s direction. In September, Milly received a tremendous bouquet of flowers in honor of her election as treasurer of the senior class. She has also been in the May Queen’s Court 3, 4; Mummers’ Play 2; Nativity Play 4; German Club, Strophe 3, Assistant Head 4; and Vocational Committee 4. Doris VirGINIA BARBER Glens Falls, New York Economics No more trucking on campus—why? Dodie is leaving. Yes, truckin certainly is one of her major sports, and another is trying to find connections to get up to Brunswick, Maine. ‘Bowdoin Houseparties—oh,—wonderful!’’ seems to be Dodie’s pet phrase. But when on campus she is a very active girl. Freshman and sophomore years she was on News and in Choir, and in her second year was on Rushlight and Press Board. In her junior and senior years she was in Agora, an active member of the Dramatic Association, and Head of the Costume Committee. Junior year she was Head of the Student Industrial Committee. Dodie also took part in “Cradle Song,”’ ‘‘Two Gentlemen of Verona,’’ and the Mummers’ Play. But we can never forget another of Dodie’s favorite pastimes—bridge. In the Sem, Metcalf, or Marty's, she invariably bids one heart. FA) HaNNAH BARDWELL Hatfield, Massachusetts Latin We'll miss Hannah's red hair and her smile. We'll miss her rushing off to Boston at the last minute to see a Guild play, and the sound of her radio echoing in the night. Han- nah is wild about horses, and keeps clippings of equine beauties from all the sport pages. When the president of Classical Club isn’t busy discussing club activities with Miss Work, she’s down in the Coal Hole working on scen- ery. And if not concerned with some magnus opus of the Dramatic Association, Hannah may be found proof-reading in the News room. She was also Circulation Manager of News, 2, 3; Chairman Y.W. Community Service 3; Business Manager Rushlight 4; Head of Deck Tennis 4; Secretary- Treasurer Classical Club 3, President 4; Dramatic Assoctia- tion 4; Freshman Honor Roll; Dean’s List 2; Art Club 3, 4; Camera Club; German Club 3, 4; International Relations Club. JANE ExvizapetH Barry Ayer, Massachusetts Philosophy Whether it be the familiar steps of the May Day dance or the halting movement of some weird, drum-accented dance creation, Barry is the oft-quoted ‘‘poem in motion.”’ As head of the Dance Group, she has figured prominently in recitals and in the symposium with Mt. Holyoke and Connecticut College this past year. Barry frequently takes a busman’s holiday over the week-end, dancing to another rhythm with John Harvard or someone from Tech. Her favorite “‘likes’’ include football games and picnics, while among her ‘‘dislikes’’ are late hours in academic research, supported by cups of George Washington coffee. Barry ap- peared in the May Day ceremony 2, 3, 4; and in Mummers’ Play 2. BarBARA BEACH West Newton, Massachusetts French “All the world’s a stage’’ and Beebe is the actor. Since freshman year she has been busy with rehearsals and learn- ing her lines. Her favorite parts are masculine ones. . .she was overwhelmed that The Shining Hour was using honest- to-goodness men and she had to fall back into a feminine role. She says she has no hobby, but we think, by the looks of her room, that it’s collecting pictures of Elizabeth and Margaret Rose, the princesses of England. You can’t see Barbara’s walls, they’re so covered with pictures of the two! Beebe’s collection of books also merits attention. [ 43 ] Rutu Guiapys BENNER Monson, Massachusetts Physics You can usually find Ruth in the White Studio in a paint- spattered smock with palette and brush in hand. Oils, water color and charcoal she uses with equal ease. But pho- tography is her favorite activity in the field of art. The campus 1s her subject: the snows, the coming of spring, and the coming of freshmen. Of course she is in Camera Club, and her picture of Hollyhock House took a prize in a recent contest. Combining the aesthetic with the purely scientific is quite an achievement but holds no fears for Ruth who has taken most of her courses in Math. She was Art Editor of Nixz 3; Art Club 3, 4; and Science Club 2, 3, 4. EvizaBetH Tryon BrpweELy South Glastonbury, Connecticut Zoology Betty claims fame as the first member of the graduating class to be married. Most of her leisure time is, of course, spent with Ray, with whom she attends Wesleyan house parties on occasion. She has also found time to become an active member of the Dramatic Association 3, 4; and has been stage manager this year. Betty was student director of the Founder’s Day Play last fall. She has been a member of the Music Club 3, 4; and of International Relations Club 3, 4. Betty Everett BLAKE Barrington, Rhode Island English Betty has a yen for dramatics. She has been one of Wheat- on’s most accomplished actresses. In her sophomore year she was in a Founder's Day Play and the Harvard-Wheaton play; junior year she acted as director of the Founder’s Day plays and co-head of scenery, and in 1938 was in the French Play. Betty is President of the Dramatic Association, and is on the Executive Board of the Romance Language Club. Although she has participated in News and in Choir, Betty has been a very versatile young lady. On campus, we have another inkling of her spare time activities—Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday night dates. And everyone's seen her famous collection of dog miniatures. [ 44 ] ExizABeEtH BLooM Agawam, Massachusetts Mathematics When we see a black phaeton with white wheels parked in Howard Street we know that Lovin is campused again. Otherwise she and Al are halfway to Providence, Boston, the Cape, or, possibly, Norwich. Sometimes we find her pouring coffee in Marty's, discussing Things with Helen and Rusty, or presiding at a Saturday night Sem party. Lovin hates to get up in the morning and she hates to work in the Libe. She likes to eat out in thousands of different places—“‘It’s much more eent’resting!’’ Her noble interpre- tation of Bismarck in the 1939 Vaudeville production will long be remembered as a coup de maitre of histrionic art. Lovin’s activities include: Class Vice-President 1; Class Treasurer 3; May Court 1; Class Swimming 1, 2, 3; Varsity 1; Class Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4, Varsity 2, 3; Class Archery 2, Varsity 2. CiarA ENpicott Boss Willimantic, Connecticut History Clara is still talking about Denmark. She’s still talking about Hamlet's castle, Danish pastry and Hans Andersen, with a thousand other things she remembers from her trip as Alternate Geneva Scholar in junior year. Clara has been Very Dignified this year as House Chairman of Cragin; we wonder if the freshmen have ever seen her blushing, or wav- ing her hands when she’s excited? Then she is always cele- brating St. Patrick’s Day—green is her favorite color! Clara first became famous as guide to twenty Wheaton College men on a Glee Club tour, who were eager to investigate this eastern Wheaton. Clara’s other activities include: Class Secretary, 4; Sophomore Representative Nixe 2; Literary Editor Nix 3; Sophomore Representative S.A.B. 2; Assistant Chairman S.A.B. 3; Agora 4; Psyche 4; Pro- gram Chairman International Relations Club 4; Dean’s ists: Mourtev EvizasetH Bruce Newtonville, Massachusetts History We often find Muriel in the Sem, having a quick cigarette before she hurries off to Norton night school for her volun- teer teaching work. Sometimes s he’s arranging programs for I.R.C. interregional conferences or for Model League; sometimes she's twisting the dials of her radio for her favorite dance orchestra or serial play. Besides taking an active part in International Relations Club, Muriel is chair- man of the Geneva Scholarship committee. She is on the class and varsity archery teams and is a member of the Romance Languages Club. [ 45 ] Puyxtuis ARLENE BuRKETT Concord, New Hampshire Botany Phy] is an old stand-by of the Dean’s List. For four years her name has been read in Chapel, and this year a Phi Beta Kappa key added to her academic glory. Being one of this honored group, however, does not seem to prevent her from engaging in club activities. She is a member of Science Club, Camera Club, German Club, and International Relations Club. Phyl doesn’t neglect sports, for we often see her exer- cising on the tennis courts. With the remainder of her spare time she occasionally enjoys a bridge game. ELizaABETH JANE BUTTERFIELD Bath, Maine English Beth knows all about the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle and why ancient Celts dyed themselves blue. But Miss Lynn still calls her ‘Miss Butterworth’’! Another of Beth’s troubles is her willingness to play anything and everything —she’s always getting involved in a card game that lasts into the late hours. Now and then she tears off to Bermuda or Cuba or Nassau, and arrives back at Wheaton, several shades darker, just before an hour exam. Sometimes we find her sitting in Metcalf, wondering which thing she should do next and how many things she can possibly finish before Friday. Beth has been 1n Music Club 2, 3, 4; May Day 2, 3; and Founder's Day Plays 4. HeLeN Copet Manhasset, New York Mathematics Balancer of books almost twice her size is Wheaton’s Student Auditor this year—not to mention the full-sized job of House Chairman of Metcalf. And still she finds time for Science Club, Camera Club, Theatre Guild plays, and basketball. She likes riding with Lib and Dot, sailing, and reading, AND it’s not every House Chairman who can boast that in one evening she supplied five of her housemates with dates! [ 46 ] Nancy Cox Boston, Massachusetts Psychology Nancy likes to go skiing in New Hampshire with Muriel, Martha, and Wally; she likes week-ends in Boston and trips to the Cape. We find modern dancing, having cokes, and dinners at the Inn among her favorite extra-curricular ac- tivities. Club interests occupy a great deal of her time— getting tickets for concerts or snapping campus scenes in the latest candid-camera contest. Nancy has been in Foun- der’s Day Plays, Music Club, Camera Club, International Relations Club, Sophomore Hop Decoration Committee, Junior Prom Decoration Committee, and the Winter Carnt- val Committee 2. ELizABETH CRAWLEY East Greenwich, Rhode Island Mathematics You'd think the President of A.A. didn’t get enough exercise to see Libby toting a pile of New York Times around campus of a Sunday morning. And she’s always rushing somewhere—to ride or play tennis or week-end on the Cape. Besides being first treasurer and then president of A.A., she’s been on class tennis, basketball, and hockey teams, and varsity tennis and basketball teams. In sophomore year she was in the Mummers’ Play and her name also ap- pears on the rolls of the German, Camera, and Science Clubs. Rhode Island appreciates Lib, we know, for on election day last November they sent someone all the way from East Greenwich to take her to vote and back again. And remember her |-o-n-g white scarf of parachute silk and her “wings’’? Evetyn Danzic New York, New York English When you hear a husky, heartbreaking voice coming from the window of some dorm, it probably won't be Evie —hbut it might be one of her magnificent collection of Max- ine Sullivan recordings. This harassed Editor of News worships Maxine as much as she treasures her candid camera. (That Wheaton picture in Mademoiselle was proba- bly from Evie's personal photography service.) Then do you remember her daily bulletins from M.I.T.? Could they have been News material? Busy is the word for Evie! She was Founder and President of the Camera Club; and Editor of News after three years on the staff, one of which she served as Assistant Editor. She has been on the Riding Team 2, 3, 4, Assistant Captain 3; Assistant Chairman Entertainments 3; Class Treasurer 2; Soph. Hop financial chairman; Nixe Photography Editor 3; May Day 2, 3, 4. She has also been a member of the Art Club, Psyche, Press Board, and Inter- national Relations Club, of whose panel discussions she at one time took charge. [ 47 ] Martian Lockwoop Day Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts Psychology One of the nicest surprises of the year was the selection of Marian to portray Joseph in the Nativity play. In tradition- al brown silk robe, she stood silently by the Madonna in the Christmas tableau. Marian also takes an active part in Camera Club and International Relations Club. She spends a great deal of her time in the Sem, smoking and playing bridge with Andy and Erk. You may come upon her in Marty’s eating a tomato-bacon-and-lettuce sandwich with her coke, while reading from a Psych book on the table. RespeccaA Doory Bangor, Maine Flistory Becky’s history papers are the envy of her classmates. “IT thought my paper was wonderful ‘til they read hers,”’ mourned one student after class. Becky’s membership in Agora bears out this truth. You'll find her just after dinner in Stanton parlor, playing her favorite piece on the piano for the benefit of the girls. Her reading interests aren’t by any means confined to the European situation and the gold standard, and she often finds time for a hand of bridge. She is a member of International Relations Club, Y.W. World Fellowship committee, Peace committee, and Music Club. AuiceE ExvizABETH EDENBORG Dorchester, Massachusetts Music Alice is well known to conductors of the “‘Comet’’; she spends much of her time travelling between Mansfield and Boston. We suspect that these frequent Boston trips have a lot to do with her collection of records—swing and classi- cal,—that is the talk of the campus. (Does she know the Tremont music shop where you can close yourself in a tiny room and play Bea Wain or Kirsten Flagstaff recordings by the hour?) Alice of course has worn a path to the door of Bates, where she practices for the Wheaton Trio. She was secretary-treasurer of Music Club last year and president of the organization this year, arranging the March Pops Con- cert which proved so successful. [ 48 ] JOAN FEE Fort Wayne, Indiana Psychology Joan was one of the actresses of the class of 1939. Her dra- matic talents were displayed sophomore year in Vaudeville and Mummers’ Play, and junior year in Founder's Day Plays. We will miss Joan in the Sem and Marty’s, and we'll miss seeing her start off for another week-end. ‘ ‘Who’s that traipsing off with a suitcase?’’—‘‘Joan Fee, of course.”’ She has had the honor of being on the riding team all of her four years at Wheaton. It almost seems as if she would get tired of running around in riding clothes, but not Joan. She loved it. She was also an active member of International Relations Club and was in Model League. EpitH Muriet FEINBURG Swampscott, Massachusetts English With Mildred, Missy and Rhoda (see pages 65, 66 and 73) you will find Edith in the Sem playing bridge. On a Saturday, she may be about to leave for a week-end in Swampscott or the theatre in Boston. Still, Edith doesn’t leave an impression of nonchalance as far as college goes. As though a major in English weren't enough, during her Sophomore year she lived in La Maison Blanche where even singing in the bath tub is done in French. She was in Mummers’ play in her Sophomore year (remember the in- firmary scene!) And to add a very academic touch she taught in the Norton night school in her Sophomore and Junior years and made Dean's list, 4. She has been active in Strophe 3, and Psyche and Romance Languages Club, 4. JANIcE FisHER New Bedford, Massachusetts Art Designer—that’s Jan. If it’s not costumes, it’s houses, and if it’s not houses, it’s reasons for going to the Inn for more cinnamon toast and tea. Before a Dramatic Association pro- duction you've seldom seen her without a billow of color in her lap or lapels abristle with pins and needles. Besides de- signing costumes for such important events as Nativity Plays 3; and May Day 3; she has been Assistant House Chairman of Kilham 3; Class Secretary 3; Secretary-Trea- surer of Art Club 4; and Social Chairman 4. [ 49 ] Nancy Turpin Fiske Montclair, New Jersey Art We remember Fisky typing doggedly in the cold gray dawn, trying to beat the dead-line for that Art or Poetry paper. There would be several half-finished cups of black coffee on the table in Everett parlor, and a pack of cigarettes for a smoke before breakfast. We remember her as the little- boy acolyte in the scarlet and white robe, who revealed the Madonna in Nativity Play. Then Fisky has appeared in several Vaudevilles, once shagging in a dance created by Nina Macy. She’s mad about modern dancing, and is a mem- ber of Art Club. She may be pedantic on the subject of Rubens while she’s sunbathing on the Gym roof, but her favorite activity is Escaping From Things. (We've seen Fisky, in a rather artistic black velvet hat, do her Escaping in Someone's new car!) GEORGEANNA GABELER Andover, Massachusetts Psychology “What luck!’ said someone, stepping on my foot in her excitement. ‘I can go to formal seating this week. G.G.'s senior head of table!’’ “‘A loaf of bread, a jug of wine, and Thou beside me at formal seating,’’ I breathed. ‘‘Hers is always the best table in Everett.’’ Beyond this rare dis- tinction, G.G. is also known for her excellence at the bad- minton game. Senior year she has been on A.A. Board as Head of Badminton, having served as assistant head junior year. We've often seen her tear out of Everett in a rose- colored coat over white shorts, swinging a racquet in prep- aration for a varsity match. A member of Music Club, she enjoys concerts and a Saturday afternoon opera. G.G., wearing a green costume and crown, appeared as the King of Agina in the Nativity Play this year. Muriet RickKER GARNEY East Lynn, Massachusetts Economics Muriel is one of those rare individuals at Wheaton who hike incessantly, but even more important have been her musical accomplishments. She played the flute in the Trio and Orchestra, and represented the student body with Mr. Ramseyer as accompanist at three regional Wheaton Club meetings. Muriel was President of the Orchestra 1937 to 1938. Yes, one of her favorite pastimes was ‘contributing to the din at Bates!’’ Muriel hiked three hundred miles to earn her ‘‘W ’ in hiking freshman year. She was Head of Hiking 1938 to 1939, and in 1936 was in the Mummers’ Play. One of her spare time activities is handing reserve books out over the desk—‘‘Well,”’ she murmured, “‘perhaps I wouldn't call it favorite. [ 50 ] HELEN MArRGUERITE GILLETTE Colchester, Connecticut Mathematics If Helen isn’t developing films for a Camera Club entry, she may be browsing through magazines in the Library reading room. Sophomore year she lived in “‘La Maison Blanche’, answering the telephone and requesting quiet in French. Between attacks of studying, Helen tutors deserving students in “‘trig.’’ Her interests range from the academic standards of science and Art Clubs to International Rela- tions Club, DorotHy LoweLL GREEN Franklin, Massachusetts Psychology Dot likes Wheaton best of all for its tennis courts and swimming pool. In spring she can play one or three fast sets on the courts, then come back to the Gym and fall into the chlorine. The college orchestra and Music Club claim her attention, and she listens to an occasional concert on the radio. Dot was in the enviable position of attending two Christmas parties this year—those of the Music and Ger- man Clubs. FrANcEs SLOAN HALL Melrose, Massachusetts Soczology Frances is the girl with the smile, or at least she smiles over the morning coffee-pot while everyone wanders in late, disgruntled and sleepy. Perhaps she’s accustomed to riding before breakfast—we often see her tear into the Post-Office in riding jacket and jodhpurs. When not riding the trails around Norton or Melrose, Frances likes to go sailing on the deep blue sea. She also takes an interest in Wheaton hockey (varsity) and in choir. [51 ] FRANCESCA CLEVELAND HALL Danville, Virginia Psychology Francesca was one of the famous dancing girls of '39. She was in the Understudy Group her freshman and sophomore years, and a member of the Dance Group for her last two years, becoming manager of the Dance Group senior year. Her secret passion—don’t tell a soul—is taking week-ends. Nevertheless we know of at least two that she spent on campus, for she was in May Day her sophomore and junior years. Fran has been a member of the International Rela- tions Club and the Music Club for her last two years at col- lege. There was a lot of time she spent getting lame for the sake of art and untold hours spent with the books, but still one of Fran’s favorite pastimes is gab sessions. JEAN Hevene Harris Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Chemistry Jean was a well-known Campus Personality long before her memorable portrait of Miss Neilson in the 1939 Vaude- ville, even before her year of service as head of Geneva sandwiches in '37. Y.W., under her presidency, has become one of the most vital organizations in college. We think Jean must get her energy and driving force from the break- fasts brewed on Stanton second-floor; the fruit, toast, and fragrant coffee that tantalize late sleepers. Her activities include: Y.W.C.A. President 4, World Fellowship Chair- man 3; International Relations Club 2, 3, 4, Secretary- Treasurer 3; Camera Club 3, 4, Treasurer 3; Science Club 2, 3, 4, Secretary-Treasurer 3; Music Club 2, 3, 4; Mummers’ Play 2; Vaudeville 3, 4; Class Hockey 1, 2, 3, 4, Captain 1, 4; Varsity Hockey 1, 2, 3, 4; Captain of Varsity Lacrosse 3, 4; Head of Lacrosse 4; Class Basketball 2, 3. Louise SoroKER Hayes Boothbay Harbor, Maine Latin “Let us be gay!’’ might be Louise’s motto, emblazoned on a field of blue with a rampant mask and buskin. Or what would you suggest for the motto of someone who specializes in Thursday to Tuesday week-ends and who loves dancing to Tommy Dorsey recordings above all else? Although she’s on the Dean’s List, Louise manages somehow to find time for Classical Club and Psyche and the Dramatic Association. She was in Mummers’ Play 2, director of a Founders’ Day Play 3, appeared in Vaudeville, and was property head of The Shining Hour 4. And don’t you like her perky little grey fur hat? [ 52 ] ANNE JANE HINE New Haven, Connecticut Economucs Ann's sense of satire will land her either on the New Yorker staff or in Sing-Sing. Best of all we like her stories of the Hurricane, told by eye-witness testimony and very con- vincing. (People new to the Hine tall-story technique go about for daze believing the most weird tales of Wheaton and her precepts!) Hiney says her favorite sport is skiing and or bridge, and she is at present avidly reading R.S. Surtees’ hunting novels, although she has never been on a horse. We expect to find the Surtees books among her not- able collection of poetry, biography, and fiction. Anne is on the Geneva Committee and a member of Art Club. Lucy Reap HusBarpD Norton, Massachusetts Chemistry You've probably seen Lucy in the Libe, a stack of books piled beside her; for she likes to read above all else. ‘‘It’s my middle name!”’ she says, although she enjoys things musical and listens to many radio concerts. Lucy is a Lab. Assistant and spends lots of extra time in the Science build- ing experimenting with test tubes and explosives. (We'd hate to be on her black list!) You've heard her name read in Chapel on the Dean's List, you've seen her in the Nativity choir. She's also Secretary-Treasurer of Science Club, a mem- ber of Choir and of Camera Club. BARBARA SIMISTER Huestis Bristol, Rhode Island Mathematics If she didn’t sell you the New York Times, it’s just because she didn’t happen to see you, because if ever there was busi- ness woman par excellence it’s Bobby. She manages to be simultaneously college-songleader, President of Science Club, Chairman of the World Fellowship Committee, and an active member of the Dramatic Association. She was also a member of Science Club 2, 3, 4, and of Strophe 2, 3, 4, of which she was chairman in her junior year. Camera Club 3, 4, and Vaudeville 3, have been among her other interests. There’s plenty of fun in those brown eyes and week-ends at the University of Pennsylvania are a specialty. And just ask her what happened to “‘our car’’ in the hurricane! [534 JEAN Hut Mahopac Falls, New York Art You must have seen Jean in the operetta at Pops concert this year! Remember her pink “‘Dr. Denton’s’’ and the toy rabbit? Singing is her business, but she likes a Saturday date at the Statler as well as a Night at the Opera. (You've seen her there in the hotel lobby waiting for the C.G.A. bus.) Jean is a member of Choir, Varsity Archery, Art Club, and Music Club. Mary Lucia Hussey Mars Hill, Maine English ‘““Where’s Mary?’’ we asked, as we smote the door of Craigin 334, but stillness answered our cry. Finally someone down the corridor called, ‘‘She’s off for a week-end again. It’s her favorite sport at Wheaton.’’ We questioned further, and found that Mary spends five days a week studying for five courses, with intervals for playing bridge, conversation at t he Sem, or refreshment at Marty's. She carries on a varied program at college; being a member of Strophe, Psyche, Music Club, Science Club, Camera Club, and International Relations Club. You've seen her running over the Dimple to catch that snap of Mr. Rogers, humming some seranade, wondering why Hitler or Spenser didn’t take up the scien- tific element in their literary treatises. ELIZABETH CLEVELAND JENNEY New Bedford, Massachusetts English Remember Betty's surprise when she was awarded the Lit. 24 prize in Chapel? She was even more surprised to find herself president of two major clubs on campus—Psyche and Agora. She has spent senior year vacillating between tea and cakes for an Agora meeting and arrangements for a Boas lecture at Psyche. Betty can tell you instantly about Gower and Langland, but she’s also fond of modern poetry and spends much time among the Imagists and Robinson Jeffers. She also likes trips to a Boston symphony in com- pany with her roommate, as well as dancing, walking, and games of badminton. Betty teaches at the Norton night school and writes for Press Board. [ 54 ] NatatireE AuGusta JOHNSON Shirley Center, Massachusetts History Nat’s progress through Wheaton is almost legendary. Class treasurer of her freshman class, she became sophomore class president, Y.W. secretary 2; May Court 2; and appeared as Prince George opposite battling Danzig, the Turk, in sophomore Mummers’ Play. She became junior chairman of the White House in the first year White House was opened to freshman students. This same year she struggled with yearbook finances as business manager of Nike, and was chosen as Geneva scholar, spending the summer in Inter- national People’s College, Elsinore, Denmark. As a senior, Nat “moved up’’ from the position of head waitress of Everett to student head of Emerson dining hall, and as- sumed new duties as President of International Relations Club. The climax to a brilliant career came as Nat, a Phi Beta Kappa scholar of January, 1939, was awarded the Phi Beta Scholarship for graduate study. She has been on Dean's List 1, 2, 3; Agora 3, 4; Psyche 3, 4; Art Club 3, 4; German Club 3, 4; and Classical Club, 4; International Relations 1, 2, 3, 4; and Model League 2, 3. Nat says her favorite pastime is talking; we wonder what she ever talks about! Mary ELL—eN JOHNSTON Ulster, Pennsylvania English Mary Ellen is a devout follower of Ferdinand. Beyond all else, she wants to sit among the flowers under her cork tree and sleep. Alarm clocks are the bane of her existence, and she attends her 8:30 classes as an ‘inspired somnambulist.”’ Mary Ellen’s love of rhythm led her to become a member of Music Club and of Strophe; she arranged costumes and staging for the Pops concert this year. An active member of Dramatic Association, she has always been interested in the art of the theatre, and includes Boston theatre-attendance among her favorite leisure-time activities. Rutuy ANNA KAMPFE Morristown, New Jersey French Ruth has always been one of the staunchest supporters 1n the alto section of the choir, and she has participated in Strophe since that organization was first started. Her favor- ite sport is swimming, but for recreation off campus Ruth enjoys most those trips to the Boston symphonies, preceded by dinner or lunch at the ‘‘Viking’’ or ‘“The Hide-away.”’ Ruth is also a member of the Romance Language Club, the Music Club, and the Camera Club. Incidentally, she shows great interest in the contests which are a regular feature of the Camera Club activities. [554] ELEANOR RicHARDS KEACH Providence, Rhode Island Music Keachie as president of choir following Miss Brady in the Founders’ Day procession, Keachie knitting lovely sweaters in nothing flat, Keachie with her hair up, looking like a Gibson Girl. That’s what we'll remember. Choir and Orchestra and Music Club take most of her spare time but there’s Pingpong and Tennis and Plays and Movies with Lois and the gang, too. She was also Assistant House Chair- man of Larcom in junior year. BARBARA KENDALL Worcester, Massachusetts Economics Kendall really should have gone to Dartmouth. Can Wheaton properly do honor to a direct descendant of old Eleazer Wheelock? The descendant has, however, done right well by Our School, becoming Secretary of A.A. 2, Vice- President 3; Advertising Manager of Nixe 3; Business Manager of News 4; playing Varsity Hockey four years and Varsity Swimming four. Don’t look now but that white jacket Kendall wears so proudly was awarded by the Athletic Association in junior year for ability at sports. But for all this, Kendall is an esthete at heart, a condition intensified by rooming with Page Niles (nee Matheson) for a beautiful, hectic year. We associate the neurosis of Ac- rasia, Laurel Lake house-parties, West Point, and Sundays at the Cape with Kendall. We shall weep to see her leave. JANE Exvizapetu Kipp Utica, New York English Jane makes jam sandwiches to eat while studying Shakes- peare. She adores dutch sabots, “Baby Snooks’’ and Horace Heidt, and we've seen her reading Coriolanus when Professor Kay Kaiser is instructing his students over the ether waves. Her enthusiasms are both journalistic and athletic: she’s a News proof-reader par excellence, having served as a Reporter 2, and Assistant Editor 3, 4; and she numbers Tennis, Swimming, Riding, and Golf among her favorites in the sporting field. Jane sews a fine seam for the costume department of Dramatic Association as well as she takes prize-winning pictures for a Camera Club exhibit. Her in- terests range from News and Riding Team 2, 3, 4; to Mum- mers’ Play 2; Founder's Day Play 4; Assistant Stage Man- ager Vaudeville 3; Class Soccer 1; International Relations Club 3; Camera Club 2, 3, 4; and Strophe 3. [ 56 ] SARAH KITCHING Melrose, Massachusetts Music Sally was one of Wheaton’s foremost music lovers. Did you ever watch her as she sat breathlessly listening to a symphony? She was a member of the Music Club during four years at college, acting as Vice-President her last two yea rs, and sang in the Choir 1, 2, 3, 4. But Sally has another Main Interest. What is all this talk of Troy and R.P.I.? Troy must go down in flames before all those telephone Bills!. . Sally admits a liking for picnics, knitting and read- ing, but she also leans toward the dramatic arts for she was in Mummers’ Play, the Sophomore and Junior Plays, and in May Day in 1938. She was a member of International Rela- tions Club and Camera Club, and was on the Soph. Hop Decorating Committee and Senior Prom Flower Committee. Littian Muriet KNow es Cleveland Heights, Ohio Psychology Pat commutes between Wheaton and Boston and Cam- bridge! And remember the week-end twelve (1 doz.) loyal brothers of the Tech, A.T.O. house descended upon Norton, ready to involve Pat and Peg in another diabolical Hoax? Mrs. Knowles’ little girl likes to dance better than anything at all; we've seen her in Marty’s equalling Mrs. Hartman for clever and satirical dance creations. Pat was in the In- firmary during this year’s Vaudeville rehearsals, but her dance was all right on the night! She is also interested in archery and is a member of Camera Club. MerepitH LANDON Waltham, Massachusetts French The Boston museum and the Gardner Art galleries are Meredith's usual haunts; she’s always there searching for a Brueghel print or something from Picasso's blue period. If she’s not looking for art treasures, Meredith is often to be found at a symphony, or listening to a Saturday opera over the radio. Reading is among her favorite pleasures, and she works on the Peace committee of Y.W. Her other Wheaton activities include choir, Nativity choir, Romance Languages Club, Art Club, Music Club and International Relations Club. Lois KatTHRYN LEONARD Lyndonville, Vermont English Lois, with Keachie, is an old Larcom resident and greatly appreciates the re-decoration of Larcom parlor. Sometimes we see her here reading the Boston Herald while knitting a new pair of gloves or mittens. If she isn’t reading news- papers or the latest novel, she may be off somewhere danc- ing, attending a play or concert, or following the adventures of Charles Boyer at the Keith Memorial. Lois is an active member of Y.W., working at the Nursery school with Play Club groups. She is also a member of Music Club and Art Club. Marjorie Atma LINDEMAN New York, New York History Marjorie is one of the class of ’39’s most talented music- lovers. She was a member of the Music Club, the Music Club Glee Club, and freshman year she was in Choir. Natur- ally we guessed her interest in symphonies, but Marge also has a secret passion for swing sessions. She loves to read, and gigantic assignments have failed to lessen her preoc- cupation with things bookish. Lurking about campus with a candid camera is another of her pet hobbies evidenced by her membership in Camera Club. Marge is also in Interna- tional Relations Club, Play Club, and Student Industrial Committee. EuNICE EvizABETH LINDEN Providence, Rhode Island Music Bach and Beethoven and Benny Goodman vie for her favor, for Eunice is musically-minded and swings periodical- ly from classical to modern themes. She’s been a member of Music Club these four years, and has sung in the Christmas Nativity choir. We sometimes wander by Larcom parlor in the evening and hear Eunice playing a piece of her own com- position on the piano there. Then again we find her in the Sem in her plaid coat, sitting in on a bridge game or enjoy- ing an after-dinner cigarette. Epna Frances Mann Lincoln, Massachusetts English Teddy's main claim to fame this year lies in the fact that she was the first to put her hair up, and one of the few sur- vivors after everyone else reneged. She always insists she is cutting down on her outside activities so that she can live her rigidly scheduled days without interruption. The sched- ule must obviously take a terrific beating. Outside of pho- tography, book collecting, writing, and hiking, which are her hobbies, Teddy has been a member of the Press Board for three years, now directs publicity for the Dramatic Association, and represents the Alumnae Quarterly on campus. She is the official photographer for both Press Board and the Alumnae Quarterly. She is a member of Psyche, and won the Cole Memorial Poetry prize in her sophomore year. Junior year she was stage manager for all Dramatic Association productions. Laura JANE Martin Ashtabula, Ohio Art One of the major concerns of Jane's life is Feeding the Fourteen. She hears the tramping of boots in the hall, a tentative knocking at the door, and automatically brings out choice viands from her cupboard. (People usually sigh audibly and peer wistfully from the doorway as Jane brews black coffee against a late curfew.) Jane’s an Art Club mem- ber and can talk intelligently about the Cubist movement or Salvatore Dali; she has Renoir’s ‘‘Woman Sewing”’ hang- ing over her mantel. Riding team consumes much of Jane’s time; she’s a member of Strophe and of Camera Club. She was a feature-writer for News, director of a Founder’s Day Play, played Varsity Lacrosse 1, worked on Junior and Senior Prom Decorating Committees, and in International Relations Club. JANET LoutsE McKenna Taunton, Massachusetts Art A new star was born in the 1938 Vaudeville as Janet came on the stage singing ‘‘Gee, Must Be Love!’’ Most of the songs for that Varsity Show were written by Janet collabor- ating with Dorothy Fisher ‘40. She appears regularly on the program of Geneva Suppers, giving inimitable readings of the inimitable D. Parker. (The combination is something to write Mother about!) “Sketching, collecting card jokers and just plain relaxing are my most frequent failings,’’ says Janet, ‘Though I enjoy dramatics tremendously.’’ She's also a member of Art Club. - = . . - - . @ [ 59 ] MartHaA GriFFIN MERRIAM Beverly, Massachusetts Art Martha’s a little confused by the vast panorama of his- tory. She gets her dates mixed and she thinks Ed is the King. Then we hear her muttering darkly over Monet, Manet, and the difficulty of creating crepe paper ceilings for the Gym. There’s a Thespian strain in Martha; she was in Vaudeville and Mummers’ Play sophomore year and has been in Founder's Day Plays three years. She was on Carni- val Committee in 1937 and has been decoration chairman of Junior and Senior Prom; she is a member of Art Club and of Romance Languages Club. Martha played Class Hockey 3, 4; and she frequently plays Class Hookey, substituting study at Harvard Law. Emirty Rowsrt MeEserveE Newton Centre, Massachusetts Chemistry “Tt's for S.A.B.,’’ says Emily with a grin, and we produce money for a ticket to a Walt Disney movie. When Emily isn't soliciting, or selling Wheaton plates in her capacity as S.A.B. chairman, you can find her in the Coal Hole painting scenery for a Dramatic Association production. A third pos- sibility is Everett kitchen, where she may be superintending the making of cream cheese and olive sandwiches for Geneva Fund. Emily likes to spend winter vacations in the snow-covered mountains, but in summer she rushes off to the waterways, paddling her own canoe, making portage and camping out. Maybe this is where she trained to be- come best coffee-maker on campus!. . . Her activities include, S.A.B. Class Chairman 3; College Chairman 4; Dramatic Association 4; News 3; Camera Club 2, 3, 4; Treasurer 4; Dean's List 3, 4; Art Club 3, 4; Science Club 2, 3, 4. Epwina Lots Murpuy Beverly, Massachusetts Sociology If you're looking for Lois, she probably isn’t home. She may be in Boston or attending Taunton movies, but she’s even more likely to be visiting Rhode Island State. Lois keeps a half-packed suitcase in her room, ready to tear off somewhere for the week-end. At college she has majored in modern dancing, participating in May Day 3, and in the Understudy Dance Group 2, 3. She was on the decoration committee for Soph Hop and Riding Meet dance in 36, plays varsity lacrosse, and is a member of Agora, Art Club, and International Relations Club. [ 60 | Dorotuy Iva MytcHReEEst Hartford, Connecticut German “Who's playing Bach?”’ ask Metcalf and Kilham resi- dents, ‘til they find Dot at the piano in Hebe parlor. The president of German Club obliges with a French suite in E major; then she puts aside her music and joins Carol and Helen for tea at the Inn. Sometimes we see her in riding clothes, headed for the House-In-The-Pines stable, where she'll choose Prince or White Flash for a morning canter. Reading and bicyling are her favored means of relaxation. Dot came here as a sophomore from Mount-Holyoke-in- Hartford, and became thoroughly acclimated to Wheaton in Mummers’ Play and in Model League. She has been in German Club three years, taking the office of president as a senior, and also belongs to Music Club, Choir and Interna- tional Relations Club. She likes teaching at Norton night school and working with the “‘sounds’’ department of Dramatic Association. LucitLtE Mariz NAPLeEs Portland, Maine Zoology “Where's Lu? She has a phone call. It’s Bob—he says it’s vital!’’ ‘She went to the Seminary after dinner with Dodie and Margy,”’ calls someone helpfully. ‘“They’re probably playing bridge.’’...When Lu returns she'll find the door of Everett 308 covered with yellow slips: ‘‘Call operator 84. ‘Bob phoned; he’s coming down!’’ Lu eats and sleeps and studies in the Sem, except when she’s working in Science building as Lab. Assistant. She’s also a member of Romance Languages Club 4; Choir 2, 3; Nativity Choir 4; and has been on Mummers’ Play make-up committees. BARBARA NeEvINS Brockton, Massachusetts Psychology Bobby likes swimming off the Cape on spring Sundays, followed by a beach picnic and a fire. At Wheaton she haunts the swimming pool, demonstrating new dives and the Australian crawl. During the winter theatre season she journeys to Boston for Theatre Guild plays, but warm weather means canoeing on the reservoir and work in con- nection with scouting. At Wheaton Bobby specializes in Camera Club, 2, 3, 4; Strophe 2, 3; Romance Languages Club 3, 4; and teaches in the Norton night school. [ 61 ] EvizaBetH NEWELL Lakewood, Ohio English If you've never seen Babby training her camera on anyone, anything—the man with the lawnmower, Hebe, Dr. Park, Miss Lincoln's dachshund—then we don’t believe you've ever been to Wheaton. Film and filters are life's essentials to this president of Camera Club—and horses take up much of her time. Larcom residents could tell time this year by the early morning clatter of Babby’s boots on the stairs as she went down to breakfast with the riding team. She has also been in Choir, Vaudeville, Press Board, News; Inter- national Relations Club, and Music Club. ConstTANcE NEwTon Melrose, Massachusetts English Connie has made her mark on Wheaton—with a blue pencil. As Editor of Rushlight, Associate Editor of News and Head of Press Board in senior year, Connie has found ample opportunity to exercise her literary versatility. She has worked in each of these organizations since sophomore year, at the same time acting as Class Secretary 2; Y.W.C.A. Vice-President 3; and Class Alumnae Representative. They say that in freshman year she walked into an exam in her navy blue suit, sat and stared at the questions for some min- utes. ‘Why Miss Newton,”’ said the professor at the desk, “not working?’’ To which Connie replied, ‘‘Sir, I have not yet begun to write!’’...(She still has a Hankering for the U.S. Navy and pursues shipping news when no one’s look- ing.) Although she spends much time writing prose, envy- ing the poets of The Standard Book of Verse and listening to Clara’s tales of Denmark, Connie wears a Phi Beta Kappa key presented in January of this year. She is a member of Psyche 4; Art Club 2, 3, 4; German Club 2, 3, 4; and Inter- national Relations Club. BEATRICE ADDIE PEAVEY Fort Sam Houston, Texas Art Bea favors pastel angora sweaters, with matching bows in her hair. A camera is usually part of-her costume, for she’s a member of Camera Club and spends the odd hours photo- graphing a barrel vault of the Chapel ceiling or a cross sec- tion of freshman botany. International Relations Club and Art Club are among her other interests, and she’s tremend- ously fond of sports, attending all the badminton games and swimming meets. Bea often swings a racquet in her own behalf in the tennis game, tearing across court in white linen shorts. Dante, thou should’st be living at this hour! [ 62 ] Daura HELEN PERRY Lynn, Massachusetts Psychology Daura likes to write short stories as much as she enjoys a tale by Saki or DeLaMare. Sports in general interest her, but tennis is her particular favorite and she often takes time out for a set with Bea. Friday night suppers at Marty's are fun too, and walks on the back roads near town. Inter- national Relations Club, Science Club and Camera Club are among Daura’s extracurricular activities. HELEN PERSONS East Aurora, New York Sociology Budge says her two favorite activities are filling out questionnaires and beating up her roommate. She's in favor of shorter working hours and would like several more reading rooms of Fiction in the Libe. We usually find her playing bridge with three cohorts, or dancing in town to a big name orchestra. Budge has been on May Day Costume Committees, and has done make-up for Nativity Play. MARGARET REMMINTON PLUMER West Medford, Massachusetts Art Plum has suffered as House Chairman of Stanton; she’s had mice and Nancy Wolf and Helen Kingsley to cope with! But perhaps she’s been most famous for her artistic and ath- letic accomplishments. Art Club has claimed her attention four years and this year she has arranged lectures and ex- hibitions as president of the organization. She has played Class Hockey, 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Tennis 1, 2, 3, 4; and has been on Varsity Tennis teams. Plum covered herself with glory in Mummers’ Play and Founder's Day Play 2, as Vice-President of Junior Class and as Program Chairman of Junior Prom. She likes painting in oils, handing out birthday packages from the postoffice door, and Connecticut house-parties. [ 63 ] Mitprep Louise PoLAND Fitchburg, Massachusetts English An orchid to Millie! Any girl who can go through the harrowing experience of being House-Chairman of Everett, and come out on top with a flip of the hand and a witty remark, deserves more than that. Besides this most import- ant job, Millie is Publicity Manager of Rushlight, a member of Psyche and of Art Club, in which she has taken an active part for three years. She has written for News and Press Board, danced in the Understudy Group, played in Vaude- ville 3, 4; and in May Day 2. She was Class Secretary 1; Secretary of C.G.A. 2, Vice-President of C.G.A. 3; and has managed an occasional trip to New York to raise old Ned for a well-earned week-end . To climax all this, Millie was this year’s Madonna in the Nativity Play. You leave us breathless! SHIRLEY ELIzABETH POWERS Haverhill, Massachusetts Psychology Shirley goes off for the week-end in a nicely-tailored suit from Marjorie Poore; we expect she has herself a time! Lots of evenings she orders Marty's specials and plays T. Dorsey recordings while waiting for steak and mushrooms. Then again we see her in Sem playing bridge with Louise, Helen, and Fisky. Shirley has played class tennis and hockey; she served on the senior banquet committee and on sophomore and junior dance committes. Mummers’ Play, Varsity Badminton and Romance Language Club have been among her favorite Wheaton activities. Ruta Louise Riper Mansfield, Massachusetts History We cornered Ruth in Lower Chapel, where she presides as Head of day students. “‘Listen,’’ we said, “you've got to tell us about you for Nixe.”’ “‘I’m an individualist, a non- conformist,’’ she confided. “‘I like to sew! Besides this I adore reading—practically anything I can lay hands on... And taking pictures is fun.’’ The great outdoors holds a lure for Ruth—she likes tennis, archery, walking, and skat- ing. She’s on class and varsity archery teams, is a member of International Relation s Club and of Camera Club. [ 64 ] MapbeELINE RutuH Ross Attleboro, Massachusetts History You too can be the life of the party—just learn to play the piano like Madeline. They never laugh when she sits down to play—there’s magic in that keyboard! Madeline's two loves are the musical and athletic score—she thrills to the staccato sound of balls dropping over a tennis net, and she can ‘‘Handel”’ a heavy racquet with ease. She has written for News and has been a member of Agora and of Interna- tional Relations Club. Donna Mavis ROWELL Wethersfield, Connecticut Economics “We're fourteen inches short,’’ announces Donna after some figuring on a News dummy. ‘‘What about that old Chesterfield ad?’’ ‘‘I’ll write more “‘Over the Tea Cups”’ says the Associate Editor, rushing into the breach. ‘‘Donna, where’s that galley sheet?’’ The Managing Editor of News frequently finds herself in the role of mother-comforter to the rest of the staff. She has also served as Assistant Manag- ing Editor 3; and Proofreader 2. Donna’s an active member of the Dramatic Association 3, 4; she has been Head of Scenery 4, and spends much time working in the Coal Hole. International Relations Club claims her attention, for she has been in Model League 2, 3, and on the Geneva Com- mittee 3. We'll long remember Donna’s knitting bag, her snapshots for Camera Club, and her Saturday trips to Boston to Guild plays. Ruopa Erma RuBIN Brookline, Massachusetts French Rhoda is most likely to be found in the Sem playing bridge with Missy, Mildred, and Edith (see pages 49, 66, and 73); having a cigarette in Metcalf basement or coffee in Marty's. Of course she may be in Boston if it’s a week-end because that’s one of her favorite diversions and most frequent indulgences. Living in Brookline is most conven- ient for college at Wheaton. But there’s time for many things and Rhoda has been active in Romance Languages Club, Internationa! Relations Club and in Strophe. [ 65 ] RutH EvizaABeTH SCHERNER Springfield, Massachusetts Psychology “Do you remember an Inn, Miranda,’’ and “Mumbo Jumbo, Lord of the Congo,” are familiar quotation to Ruth; she’s memorized them for a Strophe recital. Ruth excels in things rhythmical, for while she is the President of Strophe she also continues as a member of choir. The domestic touch and a love of Vagabondia may both be found in Ruth: she likes to sit by the fire and sew as well as hiking or working outdoors with younger girls under the Girl Scout banner. She is a member of Dramatic Association and of German Club. SHIRLEY VAILE SHELDON Verona, New Jersey English To read Shirley's list of activities you'd never dream that she was new to Wheaton her junior year, having trans- fered from Denison. She has been in Psyche as Secretary- Treasurer 3, and as Vice-President 4; an active member of Dramatic Association 3, 4; Head of Properties this year, and on the Nike literary staff for 1938. In January it was announced that Shirley had been elected to Phi Beta Kappa! But that’s not all. In addition to such intellectual pursuits S. was on the Junior Class Swimming Team, and she likes not many things better than a brisk canter out Pine Street of a spring morning. Mixtprep SIMONDs Portland, Maine Sociology Seen in the Sem on week days at any time: Mildred, Missy, Rhoda and Edith (see pages 49, 65, and 73). The Sem is getting to be a veritable bed of future Sims and Culbertsons. The various attractions of Boston, shopping along Tremont street, movies on Washington street, and the theatre rival week-ends in Portland in Mildred’s esti- mation. But she finds time on campus for the Camera Club, the International Relations Club and German Club. [ 66 ] AILEEN ALMEDA SIMPSON Manchester, New Hampshire Psychology Simp is one of the college's truckin’ experts, and she does the meanest Lambeth Walk this side of London. She stays in her room evenings to hear Tommy Dorsey or Artie Shaw, and to remodel the Charleston to modern swing. We often see her having a coke in Marty’s with Trex and G.G. while she squanders a quarter on new recordings. Aileen sings too, and likes dramatics—she’s been in May Day Court and in Founder's Day Plays. In athletics she has been on varsity badminton team and has earned her Life Saving emblem 3. CaroL Dawson SMITH West Newton, Massachusetts Mathematics It’s one of our greatest paradoxes, and perhaps it’s a little sad that a person as busy as Carol should say her favorite activity is loafing, for this is a thing that presidents of C.G.A. seldom get a chance todo. Carol has served in this office Senior year, having trained as Treasurer of C.G.A. Junior year, and as Vice-President of the Sophomore class. She has also been in a Founder’s Day Play 2, Class Basket- ball 1, 2, 3, 4; Varsity Basketball 1, 2; Science Club 2, 3, 4; Membership Chairman of Y.W.C.A. 3; Class Blazer Chair- man 2. Senior year she has been Head Usher and Under- graduate Representative to the Boston Wheaton Club. But all these extracurricular activities have not lessened Carol's enjoyment of the Lighter Side of life. Have you heard about summers at Boothbay? Morte. B. SmitH Danvers, Massachusetts Zoology Take Martha Graham with the life cycle of a clam—and what have you? —sort of an inconsistency, what? That's Muriel for you. She mixes a zoology major with a passion for the modern dance—and comes out on the best end of each. Besides dancing in the Dance Symposiums every year, and in the pageant of May Day as one of the Witches, Muriel has been a member of the Science Club for three years, the International Relations Club for two, the Music Club, and the Art and Camera Clubs. In the midst of all this she has found time to make Varsity Hockey, be in Vaudeville the last two years, dance in May Day, and take part in Founder's Day and Nativity plays. [ 67 | Janet Naomi Smock Lakewood, New Jersey English To Janet goes the distinction of always having been on the Dean's List—and usually at the top, too. She became a member of Phi Beta Kappa in her Junior year. Since this is the highest academic award given, it is unusual for a student to attain it until her senior year. However, scholastic achievement is not Janet’s only claim to distinction. She has always been very active in campus functions and organ- izations. As Editor of Nike in 1937 and 1938 and as Asso- ciate Editor of Rushlight, she has shown herself to possess literary ability and the faculty for good management. Janet 1s also interested in athletics, which is recognized by her membership in the Dance Group. As a sport and as a means of recreation, Tennis seems to be her favorite. In addition, she belongs to German Club and Psyche. Jutret Mitrer SPANGLER Winterport, Maine Zoology It is the lark and not the nightingale when Julie comes home from a week-end! Some young Montague in an Army or Navy uniform usually persuades her to stay just one more day, till she has to tear back to Wheaton for Lab. work. Although she’s been a busy executive as President of her class in both Junior and Senior year, she becomes matronly toward the foster child Acrasia. ‘It’s such a little car to be shoved around by so many cross people,’’ she explains. Julie madeDean’s List, 3; Class Hockey, Varsity Swimming, 1, 2, 3, 4, Head of Swimming 4. She's the least bit skeptical about her ability at hockey!—she thinks the ball follows her around, trying to get in a nasty whack now and then— but no one can be skeptical about her success at swimming and diving. Then we'd like to award Julie a tremendous corsage of purple violets for her unrivaled dance creation— “Listen to the bird!”’ MarGARETTA REEVES STAATS Merchantville, New Jersey Psychology Being Chairman of Entertainments in her Senior year, Bill never confines her talents to purely professional applica- tion. She is chief Mogul of the Charter members of the Sem —keeping things at a generally high pitch in that venerable place. Between trips to the Sem and trips in Acrasia—of which she is part owner—Bill is the Dead-eye Dick of the Basketball court, can hit a mean shin in Hockey, and has several skulls to her credit from Lacrosse. She was one of the honored two to win the A.A. blazer in her Junior year. As we said before, Bill is part owner of the worthy craft Acrasia, and consequently has to spend some time worrying about its condition—which one never knows from one moment to the next—it’s that kind of a car! —tempera- mental! Bill says she likes to loaf more than anything in the world; but she has the power of looking awfully busy doing it. Maybe she’s just fooling us. [ 68 ] Emity Watson STEVENSON Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Psychology Scottie likes to talk. We like to listen. Especially do we like to listen when she’s giving us a package in return for a pink slip. Scottie has been head of Night School, and is a member of both Art Club and Camera Club. She spent a good deal of time Junior year doing tests on people. She says that one of her favorite activities is eating peanut butter, bacon and lettuce sandwiches. Coming from a psy- chologist this is definitely reassuring! LouisE SwALLow Manchester, New Hampshire Psychology If you like a cup o’ tay now and again you're pretty apt to gather where Louise is lingering over hers—namely, the Inn. This is, in fact, one of the things she likes to do best when she isn't doing costumes for Dramatic Association or working in the Dance Group or taking minutes for Camera Club. She was in Mummers’ Play her Sophomore year and is a member of Art Club. This year she has been Class Chair- man of §.A.B. Committee. Rut CuHrisTINE TREXLER New York City English In our moments of great embarrassment we envy Trex that impeturbable dignity. Impossible to imagine a flustered Trex, equally impossible to imagine the Wheaton Inn at tea- time minus Trex. Her career as an actress has been a brilliant one. She began with the Founder's Day plays and Mum- mers’ Play her Sophomore year, she was in Nativity Play and the Harvard-Wheaton play last year, and was also Vice-President of the Dramatic Association. She’s one of those people with powers of concentration who can write letters in noisy community centers like the Sem. Trex was president of her class Freshman year, and is Vice-President of the Senior Class. She has been on Vocational Committee all four years, she is a member of Psyche, and this year she was Senior Representative on the staff of Nike. [ 69 ] Seat Puy.tuis RussELL TURNER Watertown, Massachusetts French “Toots” is a good name for her—it’s so inappropriate. Nothing about Phyl] suggests tin trumpets tooting—unless you're thinking of West Point. She’s part owner of the in- temperate Acrasia and she’s a bridge player of no mean prowess. She wields a wicked racquet on the tennis courts, is a member of Romance Languages Club, and was one of the big attractions of the 1936 Mummers’ Play. If you really want to know what Phyl’s like, we suggest that you ask Bill Staats for her surrealistic portrait. Marian WALBRIDGE Peterborough, New Hampshire Psychology Marion has been very active in campus affairs. She is particularly fond of modern dancing and has been in the Understudy Group for the last two years. Her enthusiasm has found its way into several organizations, such as the Art Club, the Music Club, the International Relations Club, and the Camera Club. Her technique with a camera is shown in last year’s Nike, for which she was the staff photographer Marion has the distinction of having been in the May Queen’s Court in her Sophomore year. Modern dancing 1s not her only dancing participation. She was on the Soph Hop Dance Committee and in her Junior year worked on the Prom Committee. Marian selects a popular Wheaton pastime as her favorite recreation—‘‘coking’’ at Marty’s. She advises it as an excellent way to relax after a hard day’s classes. SUZANNE WALBRIDGE Buffalo, New York Psychology Do you hear a frenzied click, click emanating from Lar- com? It’s only Sue practising her typing. She’s been taking lessons at the Norton night school. When she isn’t pound- ing the keys you may hear her resounding the echoes with the ‘‘Desparado.’’ Sue has been House Chairman of Larcom this year, and is a member of International Relations Club. She was in Mummers’ Play her Sophomore year and has also been in Founder’s Day plays. She has participated in Strophe for the past two years. ErceLt JANETTE WALKER Glastonbury, Connecticut Mathematics Erk has a way of not being here. Which is understandable when you consider Butch. Butch is a car and the great pas- sion of Erk’s life. Another of her passions is doing anything rather than work. (Not unique!) She likes cokes and bridge and Bermuda, and is frequently seen in the Sem. She was in Strophe last year and is a member of both German Club and Science Club. JEANNE Puytiis WALTHER Upper Montclair, New Jersey Botany Jeanne is unique in her major. She alone of the entire Sen- ior Class is a botany major. Her other interests are not so unique but they are various. She is a member of Interna- tional Relations Club and is greatly interested in the dis- cussion groups and in intercollegiate conferences. In the field of dramatics she is most interested in lighting and has worked on many Dramatic Club productions. She is in Choir, has been on Rushlight, and is a member of both Camera Club and Music Club. HeLen Louise WANN Bradford, Pennsylvania Psychology It took some little investigation to find out whether Helen was commuting between here and Cambridge, or not. But after seeing her on campus for four consecutive days, we decided she wasn't! And it’s a rumor around Wheaton that they're planning to build an air base here for the benefit of her visitors—it seems a practical idea! Anyway, when Helen's around school, she does a great deal of work in the Dramatic Association's presentations. She played in Moor Born her Junior year, and in The Shining Hour her Senior year. She has been in Founder's Day plays too, in May Court and Mummers’ her Sophomore year. Besides that, Helen was a member of the Press Board for two years, and on her class hockey team for three. Life is merry—O! [71] AxicE Swirt WARNER Lakewood, Ohio History We're a little timid when it comes to setting down the Life of Al. We feel inadequate. We should have persuaded her to write this biography herself. How shall we describe her valiant goal-keeping in a fast'and furious lacrosse game? How shall we describe her impromptu additions to Vaude- ville? In fact, how shall we describe her? Anyway, none of you need to have her described. You've seen her putting nickels in the Vic in Marty’s, you've seen her typing papers in the Sem, and you've heard her Hi, kids!’’ Al’s basket- ball is notable but she doesn't like the label ‘‘athletic.”’ In fact, she’s hard to label. We leave it to you. Page her in the Sem. JOANNA CLARK WARREN Taunton, Massachusetts Art Joanna says her favorite spare-time activity is eating. Technically, of course, it’s a matter of necessity, especially when one does as much as Joanna manages to do. She is a member of Dance Group, and is on both Y.W. Cabinet and C.G.A. Cabinet. She was Chairman of make-up for Nativity Play. Last year she was sent to the National Assembly at Oxford, Ohio, and the previous summer she attended O-At- Ka. She has been a member of Music Club for three years and of both Art Club and Camera Club for two years. This year she has been House Chairman of Chapin. HELEN MARGUERITE WEAVER Englewood, New Jersey Music Peg thinks Boston's a ‘‘nice little town’’! She’s a member of Dance Group, and this year she and Pat worked up a number for Vaudeville. Peg’s been in May Day for three years. She belongs to Music Club and International Rela- tions Club. She may be fooling us but she says she likes to go wading in February. Brrrrr. More seasonal is her enjoyment of skiing. Look for her having breakfast at Marty's with Pat. [ 72 ] ERNESTINE WEINBAUM New York City English Bridge in the Sem with Edith, Rhoda and Mildred is a favorite occupation, of course! (See pages 49, 65, and 66). To Missy go ribbons for being the first to wear wooden shoes on campus, for being remarkably adroit with her beautiful long fingernails and for being able to write backwards at a great rate. She has a passion for the theatre and when she trips off on week-ends it is usually to the latest show in Bos- ton or to an opening in New York. About campus she took part in Strophe in her Junior year and was in the Mummers’ Play her Sophomore year. She has also been in Psyche, Art Club and Romance Languages Club. ANN WINTER Needham, Massachusetts French Ann’s been pretty busy since September, 1935, and her VIRGINIA LUNETTE WHITAKER Unadilla, New York Mathematics ‘Ginnie’ has been a quiet but co-operative member of the senior class. Her interests and accomplishments reach in all Phi Beta Kappa directions. Her name has frequently ap- peared on the Dean's List. Besides showing ability academ- ically, she has been active in club affairs. She is a member of the Music Club, the Science Club, and the Romance Lan- guages Club. One of ‘'Ginnie’s’’ favorite spare-time ac- tivities is archery, at which she is very skillful. She devotes a great deal of time to this sport, since this year she was Head of Archery. All her recreational time is by no means taken up with archery, however. ‘‘Ginnie’’ is an ardent lover of bridge and also accomplishes a great deal in the way of knitting. interests have been varied, ranging all the way from le francais to proofreading News. She has played on her class hockey team and worked with the Norton Girl Scouts. She lived in French House her Sophomore year, was Secretary- Treasurer of Romance Languages Club last year and has been President this year. She was Treasurer of Y.W. last year and has also served Y.W. in the capacity of social chair- man. This year she kept Kilham under control in the capaci- ty of House Chairman, and was also Chairman of Voca- tional Committee. In whatever time she has left over Ann likes to knit and listen to the Saturday afternoon opera broadcasts. kel JEAN WoopRUurfF Manchester, Connecticut Zoology Jean was one of the first active members of Dramatic As- sociation. She was head of properties last year and she does a good deal of work in the Coal Hole. Jean says that her favorite activities for spare time are talking, knitting, and reading the New Yorker, but we don’t really see where she finds spare time. She was on Geneva Committee her Sopho- more year and has been a member of Strophe for three years. She sings in Choir, and is active in International Relations Club having held the position of Librarian for two years. [4g ATHLETICS No part of college life will be longer remembered than the 4.30 hours we spent down on the hockey field, the hikes we took, the sports meetings and badminton demonstrations we attended, the May Day dancers and tumblers we watched during a long spring afternoon. = eb Athletics ELIZABETH CRAWLEY ite Athletic Association and the De- partment of Physical Education have had an active year. One of the most important accomplishments has been the limitation of interclass games to non-varsity players. The plan was first tried with the swimming teams, and was so successful that it will ap- ply to other sports as well. The Association has made the necessary modifications in the point system. This year A.A. and the Physical Educa- tion Department introduced a new Life Sav- ing course for examiners which makes pos- sible swimming in out-of-class hours with two others of like qualifications. This per- mits a wider use of the pool by girls not in swimming classes. A.A. sponsored the hilarious satire on dictatorships, Hysteria Repeats Itself, which turned the campus into a madhouse for two consecutive nights on the Gym stage. The officers of the Athletic Association this year were Elizabeth Crawley, president; Eleanor Hargan, vice-president; Jeanne Ad- ams, treasurer; Alice Braunlich, secretary. The Heads of Sports are as follows: arch- ery, Virginia Whitaker; badminton, George- anna Gabeler; baseball, Janet MacPherson; basketball, Bettina Conant; cycling, Bar- bara Merriam; dancing, Frances C. Hall; deck tennis, Hannah Bardwell; golf, Char- lotte Parker; hiking, Muriel Garney; hock- ey, Barbara Kendall; lacrosse, Ellen Berney; riding, Alison Kimpton; swimming, Eleanor Hargan, Ruth Haslam; tennis, Barbara Lath- rope. The Varsity Hostess is Mary Elizabeth Bowman. During the first six weeks of college, fall sports are in full swing and anything goes, whether you are a hockey enthusiast, or a tennis champion, or only mildly interested in deck tennis. Tryouts for the riding squad were held September 27 and 28, and twenty-one mem- bers were chosen. For the first five weeks the squad drilled three mornings a week from 6.45 to 8.00, after an early breakfast at 6.15. The annual Riding Meet with the House-in- the-Pines School was held November 12. Wheaton was awarded the new cup for the military drill, winning for the fourth con- secutive year. Members of the varsity riding squad were Marion Burkhardt, Evelyn Dan- zig, Louise Godfrey, Mary Ann Hessen- tahler, Gertrude Jenks, Lois Johnson, Bar- bara Jordan, Nancy Dingman, Norma Dick- ey, Joan Fee, Jane Kidd, Frances Lawler, Elizabeth Newell, Marianna Rehling, Mar- jorie Munkenbeck, and Dorothy Sanborn. The two banner bearers were Edith Wahn and Helen Masson. The tennis season began with the Fresh- man tournament, which was won by Helen Whyte. Immediately after this, tryouts for class teams were held, and matches between classes were played off. The sophomores won the interclass tournament. The class teams were as follows: freshmen—Whyte, Eddy, Lawler, and Hirschland; sophomores—Gree- ley As. Greeley Eo johnson, .H- and Smillie; juniors—Lathrope, MacPherson, Li) Weaver, and Warren; seniors—Plumer, Leaf, Turner, and Walker. The hockey squad played the Freebooters on October 24, Radcliffe on October 28, Pembroke on November 4, and Jackson on November 10. They won the last three games being defeated only by the Freebooters. At the end of the hockey season the freshmen were first in class playoffs. The varsity hockey squad for this year was as follows: Berney, Blodgett, Braunlich, Breeding, Creighton, Dickson, Gieg, Greeley, A., Greeley, E., Griffith, Harris, Hills, Hubbell, Kendall, Lathrope, Lawler, Leaf, Levin, MacPherson, Maurer, Messinger, Nevius, Peck, Price, Ryder, Staats (captain), Thom- as, Welser, and Whyte. With nine blue basketball numerals as trophies, the sophomore class was victorious in the interclass competition this winter which was characterized by keen class spirit. Winners of numerals were Ellen Greeley, (captain), Susan Dean, Alice Braunlich, Anne Greeley, Martha Hoffman, Elizabeth Meyer, Nancy Newbert, Margaret Tibbetts, and Priscilla Wonson. The varsity basketball team had a busy and interesting season, playing Pembroke, Radcliffe, and Jackson as well as the Antiques, a Boston team of col- lege graduates. On the varsity this year were the following girls: Elizabeth Beebe, Ellen Berney, Anne Breeding, Priscilla Wonson, Bettina Conant, Rosamond Creighton, Mar- garet Gieg, Marion Hubbell, Katherine Langsdorf, Barbara Lathrope, Frances Law- ler, Janet MacPherson, Sally Peck, Linda Thomas, Mary Thompson, Alice Braunlich, Anne Greeley, Barbara Johnson, Elizabeth Levin, Margaretta Staats, and Margaret Tibbetts. That Wheaton is increasingly badminton- conscious is proved by the fact that this year, for the first time, there were interclass games with all non-varsity players eligible. Class managers were Ruth Trexler, Beverly Stev- ens, Sally Dickey and Carol Morrison. The varsity team defeated Radcliffe and was downed by Pembroke. In the Triangular matches the varsity won the highest number of points. Members of the varsity were Mary Helen Beetle, Ruth Eddy, Georgeanna Gabe- ler, Edna Hagedorn, Ruth Hirschland, Bar- bara Howe, Helen Johnson, Priscilla Martin, Nancy Newbert, Shirley Powers, Janet Scott, Aileen Simpson, Frances Weaver, and El- eanor Wells. In March a demonstration was given in the gymnasium by Jack Brewer, Eastern States Badminton Singles Champion, and members of the Boston University Club. Swimming received a new impetus this year, partly because of the new ruling where- by varsity swimmers do not participate in interclass competition. This has brought new swimmers to the class teams, and has resulted in a wider interest in swimming meets. There were almost twice as many [ 76 ] swimmers this year as last. Three life savers were required to be present in out-of-class hours as an extra safety measure. There were two interclass swimming meets, both of which the freshmen won. Two new trophy cups, presented by Miss Brady, were won by the Freshmen and by Mary O'Donnell, the highest individual scorer. The events in- cluded swimming for form and speed, a medley and a 120-yard relay, diving, and a final mystery event in which the teams scrambled for corks and peanuts. Class man- agers of swimming were Aileen Simpson, Katharine Ryder, Carol Tillinghast, and Mary Rhodes. At Pembroke the varsity won its first meet, and later the Triangular Meet over Radcliffe and Pembroke, being defeated only by Radcliffe in the final meet. Under the co-leadership of Ruth Haslam and Eleanor Hargan the varsity members were Barbara Bert, Betty Brown, Muriel Browne, Carolyn Bryan, Dorothy Chandler, Patricia Craw- ford, Bertinia Dickson, Dorothea Ensko, Mary Ann Herron, Jane Huber, Mary John- son, Barbara Jordan, Barbara Kendall, Fran- ces Lawler, Elizabeth Lewis, Mary Morse, Jean Nevius, Mary Rhodes, Katherine Ryder, Lucille Sharp, Margaret Snow, Juliet Spang- ler, Leslie Stevens, and Helen Whyte. Tumbling was introduced as an elective sport under the guidance of Miss Brady who is a specialist in the field and has written a book on the subject. The tumbling group was a feature of the May Day pageant. Skiing enthusiasm reached a new high when, on Washington's Birthday, a special car for Wheaton girls was included on the snow train to North Conway. Fifty-two Wheaton girls with Miss Brady and Miss Mott, spent a long and adventurous day enjoying New Hampshire's fine powder snow. With the coming of April thoughts turned to other outdoor sports than skiing. The tennis courts were again objects of dissen- sion. Under Miss Mott’s direction we swung gr our golf clubs again, and Miss Brady's tumblers took over the Dimple. Margaret Snow, Ruth Haslam, and Eleanor Hargan gave a new course called “Life saving Water Safety Instruction.’’ The archers bethought them of Lincoln green, we rolled down the Dimple occasionally for the fun of it, and when we weren't feeling exuberant we lay on the Gym roof and thought about things. We went to the Dance Group’s recital and saw foretold the events of exams. The mem- bers of the Dance Group are as follows: Jane Barry, chairman; Francesca Hall, manager; Millicent Aylesworth, Harriet Gallagher, Mary Ann Hessentahler, Muriel Smith, Marguerite Weaver, Janet Smock, Joan War- ren, and Louise Swallow. Also working with the Group are Jeanne Adams, Eleanor Brill, Monica Armstrong, Marilyn Quast, and Helen DeMott. The members of the Under- study group include Mary Bloor, Mary Ann Bethge, Susan Dean, Jean Edgar, Eleanor Hodges, Ruth Jacobs, Nancy Kline, Carline Margolis, Barbara Merriam, Marjorie Rush, and Betty Jane Weld. The hockey field underwent metamorpho- sis and became a baseball diamond. We may play softball but we do know all about D1- Maggio! We took our last gym cut in fear and trembling. We went walking in the new spring world and discovered canoes on the reservoir. We debated shall we or shall we not have new gym suits in yellow, green, red and purple. We took an infirmary excuse for sunstroke and spent our rest hour studying for exams! [ 78 | Meet VIPIES Tue extracurricular gulps up spare time as though it were so much air. And yet, however we are hedged in by a News article due, a committee meeting, or lines to be learned for a play, these activities are one of the most important phases of college life. We gain through them a background of actual experience which is inval- uable in later life. 7 ‘poy oy —— ow YE Nat Oe aX Jean Harris E unite in the desire to realize rich and creative life through a growing knowl- edge of God.’’ These words of pledge from the Candlelight Service mark the Wheaton freshman’s initiation into the college branch of the Young Woman’s Christian Associa- tion. It is her first formal contact with Y.W. on campus although a Y.W. guide may have taken her to her new room earlier in the week and helped her through the complicated process of registration, and her new chintz- cushioned chair may be a bargain from the Secondhand Store. But this is the first time that she herself participates in the organiza- tion of which she is to be a member for all her years at Wheaton. Y.W.C.A. is one of Wheaton’s oldest and most active organizations. Its ramifications are many and whether one is violently in- terested in the intercollegiate movement for world peace or likes merely to supervise and play with children an hour or two a weck there is some part of Y.W.’s work that will prove vital and interesting. The diversity and extent of Y.W.’s work this year gives evidence of this fact. First there was the welcoming of new students— the guide service, the indispensable Second- hand Store, the freshman picnic, held this year in the gym because of “‘inclement weather” and falling trees, and of course the Candlelight Service, beautifully simple and expressive. Y.W.’s work is divided into several com- mittees each having a chairman. There is Community Service which collaborates with the Norton District Nurse by collecting dis- carded clothing from the dormitories and providing food and other supplies for needy families in the community. Practical Aid, which runs the Secondhand Store and helps arrange the Candlelight Service, made a real contribution to the students this year in the form of a box for lost and found articles con- veniently placed in the post office. No longer is there the dreadful routine of posting pleading notices, retracing footsteps, run- ning to Information, to Mrs. Perry, to the Norton postoffice, to Marty’s, the Inn, etc. ad infinitum in search of your favorite pink and green spotted fountain pen. Rest assured someone has dropped it in the Lost and Found box and calmly proceed to Larcom basement some noon to collect it. Practical Aid sells candy in the dorms, collects magazines for the Infirmary, and performs innumerable other helpful tasks. Night School in Norton was carried on again this year with the added feature of a typing class which had a generous enrollment of Wheaton students who found the hunt-and- peck method inferior to the touch system when it came to year papers. Play Club has educational leanings too, if on a more elementary scale, and great fun it is to play games at the Nursery School or bring the youngsters over to the college for a peep at the guinea pigs and white rats, or a roll in the Dimple. World Fellowship has contributed money to the project of hurricane relief in the vicinity and to needy groups throughout [79 ] the country, including mountain whites in Kentucky, and negro and foreign groups elsewhere. Publicity for Y.W. has been greatly en- hanced this year by a series of unusually clever and colorful posters. Student Indus- trial, which meets with a group of working girls from New Bedford, has worked this year with Social Action and the Internation- al Relations Club in studying economic and sociological problems. One of the tasks of which Y.W. is proud this year, and rightfully so, is the revision of its constitution for the first time in sixteen years. There have been speakers too. In October Rev. A. Graham Baldwin spoke on the rela- tion of religion to other fields of study. In November Dr. Howard Thurman of How- ard University, Washington, D.C., was the speaker. Later Prof. Boas made one of his rare public appearances to speak on the sub- ject “‘What Life Has Taught Me About Re- ligion.”’ Vesper services have included talks by Dr. Park, and Rev. Leslie Glenn of Cam- bridge. The Good Friday service and Easter vespers are also annually sponsored by Y.W. Y.W. has taken an active interest in stu- dent conferences in the New England area and has been well represented at them. Such successful social events as the Riding Meet dance in the fall, and the February dance (co-sponsored with C.G.A. this year) are further projects of Y.W. The officers of Y.W. are Jean Harris, pres- ident; Ruth Darnell, vice-president; Jean Nevius, secretary and Virginia Ely, treas- urer. Cabinet is made up of committee chairmen and the four executive officers. The Advisory Board consists of Mrs. Park, chairman; Miss Carpenter, Miss Littlefield, and Dr. Sprague. Thus Y.W. has completed yet one more full year of service founded on the theory that life which is busy and helpful is most satisfying for all of us, and therefore best. Dramatic Association Betty BiLaKe With Founder's Day Plays October fif- teenth, the Dramatic Association opened this year’s productions. Great interest was stimulated in this set of plays by the fact that the Junior play, Grown Up, was written by Beth Fiske, a member of that class. This play was later presented at the North Easton High School by the original cast. The other two plays were The Street Attends a Funeral given by the Senior class, and Sunday Costs Five Pesos, the prize-winning Sophomore presentation. November second marked the first open meeting of the association—a coffee for members and anyone interested. Janet Mc- Kenna gave a reading, and Mr. Ramseyer played a few selections. New membership re- [ 80 | quirements were explained to those present, and the work of the association briefly out- lined. The major fall production was presented on November eleventh as a highlight of the school year. Leading roles were taken by Marion Hubbell and Helen Wann, with male roles played by teachers from Norton High School. A second open meeting April tenth, at which Mrs. Ballou read, was attended by many non-members who were desirous of joining the association. Coffee was served in Hebe parlors. The Spring play, the second major pro- duction of the year, and one which Wheaton presents in collaboration with Harvard dra- ma students, was extremely appropriate for this time. George Bernard Shaw's Arms and the Man was given on April twenty-eighth. The excellent sets for this were designed by Janet Scott, head of scenery this year. Several readjustments were made during the year in membership regulations—among them that one must work twenty hours a year to keep an active membership. A new acquisition of the Dramatic Asso- ciation is one much needed, and one which the school may well be proud of—the new lighting board now in the gym, and which will be transfered to the stage in the S.A.B. building later. Preszdent—Betty Blake Vice- President—Marion Hubbell Treasurer—Betsey Schadt Secretary—Martha Elizabeth Ransom Publicity Director—Edna Mann Scenery Head—Janet Scott Make-up Head—Doris Lemaire Business Manager—Ruth Trexler News and Rushlight To many—to most of us—News is the double-sheet weekly which the floor repre- sentative drops outside our doors every Sat- urday morning at bed-making time. It’s always good fun to read, and many of us carefully save our copies in chronological order for future reference and nostalgia. But probably comparatively few realize how much work there is to putting out such a paper weck after week in addition to keep- ing one’s nose fairly deep in books. There is much thought and organization and capability behind News, and its exten- sive list of accomplishments for this past year serves as evidence. No haphazard plan- ning could produce like results. Last April one of the first issues put out by the new staff was dedicated to vocations. The Appointment Office was featured, and there were reports of vocational lectures: and interviews with speakers. This interest has been continued throughout the year with outside interviews, including those with Orson Welles and a group of commercial photographers, and write-ups of speeches given at the college. Evetyn DANzIG [ 81 ] There have been two comprehensive sur- veys this year also. The first was a series of articles on campus organizations which told the past history and activities of the various clubs as a possible means of suggestion for present and future activity. The second was a survey of the major fields of study intended as an aid both to undergraduates, who had not yet selected a major, and to faculty. Re- quirements for each major were listed and three upperclassmen majoring in each field were interviewed and asked t o give sugges- tions anonymously for additions or changes in the particular course of study. An interesting series of interviews with faculty revealed their varied backgrounds and education, and a series of student inter- views, ‘‘Those Wheaton Girls,’ was intro- duced. There were other innovations, too, including the addition of photographers to the staff, the new cuts for column heads de- signed by Mary Ann Lynen, and the intro- duction of two new columns—''Eyeopen- ers,’’ a compilation of miscellaneous inter- esting jottings from class lectures, and “Sleuthbird,’’ an exchange column with a definite personality. But the major achievement of the year was the Five-Point Plan introduced in October and presented to the Administration and the College Government Association for consid- eration. The results, published in January, are as follows: smoking will be permitted at banquets before class dances; additional ap- proved houses have been designated in both Boston and Providence; and a clearer state- ment of chaperonage rules is to be included in the handbook. To its editor a life of printer's ink and galley proofs, of headlines and deadlines, and to us a good bit of reading always—that’s News. “A Rushlight flickering and small is better than no light at all.’’ More than a profession of Pollyanna rationalization, the caption heading Wheaton’s literary maga- zine is an expression of the resolution of spirit and persistence of endeavor which have encouraged creative writing among the students for more than seventy years. Literary ideals have changed considerably during its life-span. Poets have turned from stars to dust and dry bones; a new proletarian element has crept into prose. But Rushlight carries on its original purpose; to afford an outlet for the philosophy and ideas of the college girl as she approaches maturity, to allow her opportunity to express herself as an individual in the creative manner she most fancies. This year, under the editorship of Con- stance Newton, Rushlight has appeared in a different form. It was changed from a one- page supplement to News to a neat little ConsTANCE NEwTON booklet, combining attractive lay-out with convenient size. It has taken on new indi- viduality. Three editions appeared; the first one of four pages was an experiment; the other two, responding to the interest of the college, contained twice as much material. A timely gift from the funds of Nike 1938 added to Rushlight’s regular budget and helped immeasurably in carrying out more ambitious plans than would otherwise have been possible. Cuts to illustrate the best contributions submitted were designed by Lois Brunel, and greatly enhanced the ap- [ 82 ] pearance of the paper. Another innovation was the publication of an editorial from the Smith College Weekly which was felt to be of interest to the Wheaton community. To eliminate any possibilities of personal prejudice and to promote impartial judg- ment, all contributions were this year con- sidered anonymously. The previous custom of asking for faculty criticism on the maga- zine after its publication was discontinued, since the staff wished to encourage students to write for themselves for the love of writ- ing, not for the comments their work might incur. More widespread publicity was at- tempted; and the resulting number of con- tributions was more than rewarding. The staff under Constance Newton con- sisted of Janet Smock, associate-editor; Han- nah Bardwell, business manager; Lois Bru- nel, art editor; Mildred Poland, publicity manager; Janis Lynch, assistant publicity manager; and the literary editors, Barbara Drew, Ruth Hirsch, Patricia Keelan, Mar- garet King, Janet Scott, and Jeanne Walther. Extra Curricula Press Board has continued to be one of the most valuable publicity agents of college, spreading the social doings and more note- worthy accomplishments of the students throughout the various states. Pictures have been found to be more popular than ever, and there has been an added emphasis on the photographic angle in the circulation of news this year. Under the management of Dorothy Weth- erell there has been more stress on the in- dividual responsibility of the writing staff. After becoming a member of the Board, each girl takes over the correspondence with one or two outside newspapers as the case may be. At the weekly meetings in Stanton B the reporters are reminded of the important happenings that are coming up which will have to do with the girls in their vicinity. The reporters also dig around and discover special social anecdotes. They assume the responsibility of having the information in to their newspaper on time. In this way the girls learn much about newspaper work and establish contacts that may prove useful in later work. The photography department takes, de- velops and prints the photographs to accom- pany these articles. The members of Press Board are Con- stance Newton, chairman; Phyllis Carrie, Ruth Chevers, Dorothy Daley, Evelyn Dan- zig, Lillian Dillaber, Barbara Drew, Martha Hoffman, Betty Jenney, Barbara Jordan, Patricia Keelan, Mary Ann Lynen, Edna Mann, Jane R. Martin, Elizabeth Newell, Elizabeth Shaw, and Agnes Sheff. The committee for the Student Alumni Building Fund consists of six members whose chief aim is to help raise money for the Fund. Emily Meserve was chairman and Barbara Bestor her assistant. Louise Swallow was the senior representative, Janis Lynch the representative for the Juniors, Jane Maurer for the Sophomores and Priscilla Hall for the Freshmen. There has been added interest and a re- newed incentive to work this year because of a $70,000 donation. As has been the custom in previous years, the committee ran the S.A.B. store, selling Wheaton mementos, writing paper, narcissus bulbs and crew caps. A bridge tournament was highly successful as well as movies that were presented on Saturday evening for the Student body. The very successful season was finished in the traditional manner with the Strawberry Festival and the May Dance. [ 83 |] Under the direction of Miss Tweedle, Strophe has placed on its records for this year four recitals, and the addition of a freshmen understudy group. Organized for the purpose of developing speech and voice techniques, the group meets one hour a week to practise on nonsense rhymes and Gilbert and Sullivan tongue twisters, to choose programs and soloists, and to study rhythm and tempo. The voices are grouped as light, medium and dark, and blend together to interpret the humorous, serious and _ re- ligious poetry included on its recital list. Strophe was presented, in the fall, in a demonstration before the state teachers’ convention in Taunton, and gave a program before the women’s group of a church in Barrington, Rhode Island. At Christmas time a group of folk carols and Christmas poems were recited at a morning chapel ser- vice. In May, there was a recital, in Mary Lyon culminating the year’s work, and made up of poems from European and Asian countries. Strophe is a subsidiary of the Dramatic Association, and was organized in the fall of 1937.

The speakers vary each year in order to include many vocations during one’s college career. Heaps or COMMITTEES [ 84 | Through this committee, interests are wid- ened into fields that have not been considered before, and one’s special ambition is greatly elucidated. On this committee are Ann Winter, Bar- bara Huestis, Constance Newton, Priscilla Howard, Katherine Ryder, Helen Johnson, Evelyn Fay, Lois Brunel, Alice Braunlich, and Lilian Freeman. The Camera Club is a very active group on campus. It has a bulletin board in the postoflice which exhibits, each week, pic- tures taken by amateur and professional photographers. It has conducted three con- tests during the past year, one in the fall of snapshots taken during the summer, one in the winter of snapshots taken since the first contest, and one in the spring of which Mr. Ballou was the judge, and by whose specifi- cations the pictures were submitted. There was a Christmas party this year at which excellent movies of campus activities were shown. There have been two lectures on developing and printing, and a film on “Highlights and Shadows,’ sent by the Eastman Kodak Company. The club gave $25 to furnish a dark room for the new Student Alumnae Building, and has been subscribing to American Photography this year, which is available in the library. The sixty members of the club have been more active than ever this year, under the able presidency of Elizabeth Newell, and greater interest seems to have been exhibited by the student body in general. The officers of the Club are Elizabeth Newell, president; Katharine Bredow, sec- retary; Emily Meserve, treasurer. The choir is one of the most important and best known organizations on campus. Under the leadership of Mr. Garabedian and Mr. Ramseyer, it sings every Sunday throughout the college year, and provides music for eight Thursday morning chapel services as well. During the past season, there have been Sunday evening concerts each semester; one on December 11, and one on May 21. The December concert consisted mainly of carols and appropriate Christmas music, partly familiar and partly new to most of the audience. The concert in May was accompanied by the Commonwelath Federal Orchestra, of Boston, and included several a cappella numbers, and half of Brahm ’s Requiem, as well as a piano concerto by Mr. Ramseyer with the orchestra. Officers of the choir association include Eleanor Keach, president; Beverly Stevens, secretary; Dorothy Mylchreest, librarian; Ruth Chevers, wardrobe mistress; Kath- arine Ryder, publicity manager; and Ellen Greeley, who is in charge of the precentors. The membership in the choir has increased steadily during the last three years. This year there were over one hundred members, and because of the growing popularity of the group, 1t was necessary to have new equip- ment. Dr. Park has been responsible this year for procuring chairs, a new lighting system in the chancel, and twenty-five new robes for choir members. Soloists during this year were Miss Louisa Wood, Miss Barbara Ziegler, Miss Laura Monnier, Ellen Greeley, Anne Greeley, Fran- ces Turner, and Katherine Ryder. There have been a tenor and two baritone soloists from prominent churches in Cambridge, Boston and Pawtucket. Two members of the choir, Eleanor Keach and Sarah Kitching have been soloists for Thursday chapel. During the past year Miss Ziegler has en- tertained the officers of the choir at several coffees. The purpose of the choir is to build up interest in music at Wheaton, slowly and steadily, until it becomes as much a part of the college community as the students themselves. [ 85 ] Nike WV E’RE going to press in ten minutes and nobody can remember where we hid the Dedication, everybody's counting words and proofreading, and somebody just happened to think, ‘‘Why, there isn’t a word in the whole book about Nrxe! ’ So we decided to add a post- script. We want to thank everyone who wrote articles or made posters, everyone who did last minute typing, and everyone who offered suggestions and encourage- ment. We want to wish the Seniors happiness, and we hope that this book will always retain for them the highlights of Wheaton and the year 1939.
