MISS LITTLEFIELD Secretary of the Board of Admission I don’t see how she knew everyone, even me, when we had just come,’’ she murmurs. Miss Littlefield’s office reminds her that her freshmen conference will be coming soon. What will happen? If the freshman only knew that she is going to learn a dean of freshman can be a very pleasant person, she would not scurry by in terror. But she still doesn’t know about deans except from college stories. Registrar, the sign on the right says. The freshman sees an office that looks a little familiar. Oh yes, register at the registrar's, of course. How stupid to have forgotten about it even in the confusion of that first day. The gitls across the hall who wanted to exchange roommates came here to see Miss Young, she remembers, and were so impressed with her kindness and understanding. Miss Shu- maker is surrounded by piles of cards. Imagine trying to get courses and rooms and every- thing else straight. The freshman imagined she could see rolls of red tape neatly put away. Across the hall is the bursar’s office. ‘‘Well, I’m glad to know where to pay my bills,”’ thinks the freshman gazing at the little bar- red window at the end of the counter. Miss Dunkle appears ready to help, but the fresh- man retreats. Her allowance has not yet come, nor has the bill for thumbtack holes nor for pink pills from the infirmary. Pushing open a door she finds some stairs. Why she didn’t know there were stairs at this end! She gallops down them and is soon wriggling her way through the crowd to her mailbox. She does- n't realize that she skipped the Alumnae Ap- pointment Office by the front door. When she begins to wonder about summer work or even what to do after graduation she will find what a useful place that office is too, and just how helpful Miss Ridlon and Miss Garfield can be. Meanwhile, as she strolls back to her dorm with her newspaper under her arm, she is just beginning to realize how important the ad building and all the people in it are to all of us. The year is well begun then for the freshman is beginning to fit into Wheaton. MISS YOUNG [15 ]

FACULTY AND DEPARTMENTS OF INSTRUCTION ©) upon a time there was a prospective freshman who did not devour the Bulletin of Wheaton College as soon as the mailman brought it to her, but just jammed it into her pocketbook and rushed off to town to make a tour of the various college shops. It so happened that she just made the local train coming home, and hadn’t even had time to buy a magazine to look at during the ride. So out of sheer boredom she took the Bulletin from her pocketbook, and started to look at it. Now she was a very peculiar young girl, who always looked at things Chinese fashion, from the back frontwards. She skipped through some pages as yet mean- ingless to her, and finally came to a section which began with Zoology. Here she suc- cumbed, and read as avidly as any other sub- freshman, and she kept on going. And this ts what she read and thought: “Zoology—I must take some of that—I remember dissecting a worm years ago with Jim, and it was wonderfully interesting. Dr. Lange, Dr. Chidsey and Miss Voter teach it. That’s what I'll major in if I decide I would English really like to be a nurse.’’ It wasn’t until her sophomore year that this desire completely left her; she was taking Comparative Anat- omy, and the smell of the cow’s head she had to cut up discouraged her from ever fol- lowing in the footsteps of Florence Nightin- gale. She turned back a few pages, and came upon Spanish, taught by Dr. Riddell, Mrs. Travis, and Miss Pond. ‘‘I’d like to take some of that,’’ she thought. Languages had always fascinated her, especially French. And this was another of the Romance Lang- uages, with the same lovely sounds that she would like so well to be able to imitate. She interrupted the regular train of events and turned to French, taught by Dr. Riddell, Miss Metivier, Miss Littlefield, Miss Buchler, Miss Hendrickson and Miss Evans. And what about Italian—she turned the pages again— Dr. Riddell and Miss Hendrickson taught that. She then returned to peace and order,—to Religion, taught by Dr. Sprague. “‘That would be a wonderful thing to take,’’ she Registration
