TRHESGEASSROR Zo The class of 1950 entered the ring on the 17th of September, 1946, with a blare of trumpets and speeches of welcome and warn- ing. Confusion and chaos reigned for the first two we eks but after the novelty of being new little ponies in the ring we got used to the cracking whip and confusion disappeared. Although we tried to be very sophisticated, we realized how much we had to learn in order to become accomplished performers. ‘The maze of rules that complicate college life, how to study to make the most of our precious time, CLASS OFFICERS—Barbara Smith, Roseann Heim, Vir- and all the other things that make up the great ginia Pennel, Nancy Whitelaw, Dorothy King circus.

week by everyone who spoke to us, that we were by far the nicest class that ever entered the ringside at Wheaton. This we took with a grain and a half of salt, and wrote proud letters home to our equally proud parents to tell them about it. We wondered, if competition was so terribly keen, just how we came to be here, in spite of our obvious beauty, brains and sophisticated bearing. The spotlight focused on Hattie when she brought down the house as well as the Harvard Dra- matic Club with her rendition of Emily in Our Town. This wasn’t Hattie’s first glimpse of foot- lights at Wheaton; she directed and acted in the freshmen skits that made Metcalf famous. Toward the middle of the year, the freshmen class shook off the whips of older trainers and hunt- ed for leading ability in its members. Nancy, Gin- ny, Dotto, Barbie, and Rowie have put us through our paces ever since. We are still understudies for the big parts. They loom before us in their sparkling settings with the radiance of jewels in a crown. They seem un- attainable. And we wonder if we will ever be able ‘to make the grade. But we feel that we have the talent and the ability to join the long parade and be the stars of tomorrow.
