It’s warm, clear and bright, birds are singing, the month is May, the sun is just coming up over the horizon and it’s six o'clock in the morning. And is any human being stir- ring at this time of day? Why, of course. The library steps of Wheaton are alive with figures dressed in blue-jeans, boots and raincoats and armed with buckets, mops and an occasional water pistol. All these creatures are busily en- gaged in scrubbing the steps and splashing water on their neighbor. After this they joyfully race through the dorms to announce the rising hour. Hours later, we find them serene as they wait for their sophomore queen to descend the shining library steps and hold court in the Dimple. ition Webel To Miss Lincoln, one of the most de- serving members of our college community, we dedicate our 1951 Niké in appreciation of her years of service to the students of Wheaton. Besides performing her count- less duties in coordinating the domestic services of the campus, Miss Lincoln has been, for a generation of Wheaton students, always willing to assist us in our indi- vidual plans or difficulties. Almost every organization and group on campus _ has sought her help in solving a problem when planning a tea, picnic or banquet, and her ready smile and helpful suggestions will be remembered always in all our campus ac- tivities. 155 ave Adigutahen Please call at the office of to See ahpiet 11 We've seen him countless times walking to the Ad building, standing on a receiving line, giving a chapel talk, participating in the Sunday church services, or stopping to chat with us about the state of the weather in Norton. President Meneely is indeed a “member of our college community. For this we are thankful and, while we realize his importance in efhcient administrative duties, it is for these more personal contacts that we shall remember Doctor Meneely. Nor shall we forget our gracious Wheaton First Lady, for Mrs. Meneely’s wit and charm have graced many a tea or reception, and she made those first college days so much easier by giving us a warm handshake in welcome. That handshake is to come again soon, perhaps for the last time, but in bidding good-bye to the Meneely’s we'll re- member them as we saw them at Christmas banquets, volleyball games, college dances, and at intervals during the day when a wink of a smile reminded us that we have Wheaton in common. 12 vrostdent enee 13 Ms. May No problem is too great for the capable, intelligent woman who is our Academic Dean. Brisk, efficient, and kind are trademarks of Mrs. May. Her calm manner belies the amount that she can accom- plish in a short time. A conference with her doesn’t take long but the value of her consultation is great indeed. The quaking feet that go into her office always come out quieted, with fears and troubles having been dissolved in her warmth and personal interest. Many wonder who is the person in the striking hat when they see Mrs. May in one of our academic processions. ‘The beret-like headdress is one tangible evidence of her study at several eastern col- leges, among them Smith, Radcliffe and Goucher, as well as Lon- don University. Her coming to Wheaton has indeed been fortunate for us. And of course we mustn't forget her Prince Consort who has added fun and stimulation to our various meetings and campus lite! | All the difhiculties that confront the students, whether they be choosing a major or a post-college career, are handled with com- petence and understanding by Mrs. May. She is a pleasure to work : with, to talk with and to know. 14 Wiss Colpitts Her life is centered around the social activities and problems of the Wheaton community. Our happiness and welfare are the chief concern of Dean Colpitts. Whether it be staying up nearly all night to make sure of the safety of all her girls, making delicious French cocoa and Christmas cookies, or keeping Honor Board warm with mittens, it is for us that she is working. With her big shaggy dog accompanying her, she is seen at meetings, enlivening the group with her sense of humor. The difficulties with which she is con- fronted by the students are met with understanding, and oftentimes an unhappy girl is changed into a smiling one by an appropriate anecdote. She is never too busy to extend a friendly hand at the college dances or receive visitors from the community. Among these visitors are two little boys who call on her regularly and one day took her a basket of eggs a month early so that she wouldn’t be forgotten by the Easter Bunny. It’s three cheers for our Dean of Students, Miss Colpitts. ‘The enthusiasm with which she has entered into campus life has made her a part of all of us here at Wheaton. 15 “Aline e The Bookstore became filled with people as the students filed out of chapel. The mailboxes had been filled under the watchful eye of Miss Goddard making sure that the girls would have their mail before their first class. Upstairs in the Administration Building the typewriters were beginning to click as the secretaries made ready to start another day. “I’ve got to see the Dean right away,” gasps an anxious student. “Ah, patience and fortitude,” Jackie Boucher and Miss Bryant must say to themselves as they try to find free moments in the schedules of the day’s appointments. Down the hall Miss Ziegler is busily working to enroll in Wheaton another group of freshmen. ile Over at one end of the dining room is Miss Lincoln’s office. Her desk is filled with requests for dinner guests, outlines of the work to be done by the staff in the different dorms, lists of trunks to be brought and sent, along with plans for the coordination of the dining rooms. She is a busy lady. The library is full of them too—busy ladies, that is. Miss Eden and Miss Merrill keep everything in perfect command with the help of the other assistants. The lovely arrangements of the season’s flowers exhibit the artistry of Miss Higuchi’s hand. There is a little room in S. A. B. where Miss Clark holds forth keeping the name of Wheaton circulating. All proud parents and alumnae are able to hear of the college activities through her efforts to give information to newspapers and promote radio programs in which the college participates. “Strike one,” called Mr. Fillmore down behind the chapel as the dorms’ spring baseball season is under way. Our chief umpire is always on the job whether it be on the hockey field or attend- ing to the various duties that keep the college plant functioning properly. As the lights go out over campus and the clos- ing bell rings the girls at Information must breathe a sigh of relief. But it must be discour- aging when they think that they have everyone safely tucked in and then find one stray who absolutely can’t get back for another hour. Never are Miss Dunham or her assistants heard to com- plain, although their task is often a weary one. A busy place is this campus of ours. Everyone is doing his job to uphold the smooth function- ing of an active community. They are a fine group, these people who make up our adminis- trative staff. 2 faculty Academic distinction and achievement are pre- requisites for members of a college faculty, and in these our Wheaton profs abound. But in ad- dition to scholarly brilliance the Wheaton Fac- ulty has the extra blessing of being closely in- terested in the students and in campus life, and of being filled with enthusiasm. Remember our amazement last winter when the faculty turned thespian and gave us a pro- fessional performance? We laughed hysterically, but solemnly swore off bridge when Mr. Ram- seyer, Dr. MacCoy, Mr. Briggs and Mr. Sargent played the game “as women do.” And remember how Miss Rechnitzer stole the show as she and Saxon pulled each other on stage? Wasn't it difficult trying to distinguish one bird from another at five o'clock in the morning? But with Dr. MacCoy with us field trips can sometimes even be educational! And when Mr. Sharp looks over his glasses and smiles wryly. Milton isn’t too hard to take at 9:30 in the morn- ing. We'll always remember those volleyball games with Dr. Meneely’s glasses landing in a broken heap on the floor, and the day Mr. Miller and Libby fought for possession of first base during a baseball game. 18 12 And how many of us decided to join D. A. when we saw Mr. Briggs in the fall playa and decided maybe we weren't really meant for the stage after meeting Mrs. Briggs in Spoken English class? Can we ever forget Willy and her Jezebel, the Mesdames Miller and MacKenzie and their suit- cases, Miss Sweeney and her boots, Miss Man- dell and her jockey cap, or Mr. G. and his brief- case? Yes, we remember those grim days of exams when every professor was a mortal enemy and each one thought we had nine arms and were mental giants. But then there were the days when they moved classes outdoors on a warm spring day, or were understanding about that Saturday cut, or postponing an exam when you had three others that day. When we needed a guiding hand and a wise word, they were there .. . so well remembered. College Government actin Starting with Birchmont and continuing throughout the year, C. G. A. strove to keep the organizational affairs of Wheaton harmonious. With Jean Smith and Nancy Koebel, Betsy Decker, Anne Jones and Katharine Luhman, Wheaton student government improved and expanded its rules and regula- tions. The red tape of Saturday night late permission slips was eliminated. ‘The atmosphere of formal seating was improved through restrictions on the one hand, for more courteous dining, and added privileges on the other hand for more relaxation during meals. After our winter mass meeting there was an open discussion of church and chapel regulations with many suggestions offered by the students. “Smitty” and “Koebel”, with ever-willingness to be of assistance to all Wheaton students and in their successful guidance throughout the year, proved themselves among the most capable campus leaders. Our Wheaton constitution is a flexible one, and the College Government Association for 1950-1951 has added to its support and growth and proved it a vital element on our campus. 20 Honor Board may be young in years, but it is certainly old in wisdom. Through its second year on the campus the board was efficiently guided by Nancy Koebel, the house chairmen, the other C. G. A. officers and the class representatives. They gave their attention to college problems and offered new solutions. Since Honor Board concerns each and every one of us, it was decided that some of its meetings should be open to the whole college. A student could then go and hear her case presented and see on what basis it was judged. This past year the punishments for infraction of the rules were care- fully considered for the individual case concerned. For a while it was impos- sible to defer campusing, but the ruling proved so unfair that it was repealed. Since it is fairly new to our campus, the social honor system is still to be proved, but this last year has widened and strengthened its foundation for future years. Zl yen According to procedure Che in You Parle Hii [otionten, Caneae, Plo. Sndef. 23 (he tian Ae Everyone at Wheaton belongs to the Christian Association, but not all of us to the same branches of its organization. ‘To each of us at Wheaton, our Christian Association means many things in many different ways. ‘To Nancy Wedge, it is an organization that begins to move early in the year by sponsoring the Brown Acquaintance Dance for freshmen. During the rest of the year, Nancy and her aides, Chappy Anderson, Pam Holmes, and Mollie McShane sponsor a candlelight service, volunteer units to the Foxboro hospital, the Riding Meet dance and such outstanding speakers as Doctor Miriam Van Waters. It is by means of its committees that C. A. spreads out over campus life and into the Norton community. Joyce Glore and her community service committee, Chappy and Mary’s play group and school projects committees, bring Wheaton girls into contact with Norton families. On campus, inter- race and inter-faith meetings, guided by Ann Kittredge, deepen our respect for, and understanding of, our fellow man. The Worship committee, headed by Emily Hood, extends a welcome to the visiting ministers and conducts the vespers services. World Fellowship, with Ann Binder as head, works throughout the year arranging speakers, collecting money and corresponding with similar organizations. C. A.’s social activities are many. ‘The social committee, headed by Peg Baker, plan teas and dinners, as well as dances, and act as hostesses for various functions. And for publicity in these and all campus functions, C. A. has the _ committee that will draw, color, or paint your dream to success. With all its members, committees, and capable leaders, C. A. was able to carry through for a highly useful and praiseworthy year. a De eee Vie “Ingenuity plus” is an expression applicable to the 1950 News staff. Polly calmly pulled the strings from the cluttered editor's desk, oblivious of headliners, proofreaders and frenzied reporters, jostling each other in the mad scramble. Shirley was either inquiring as a reporter, or pouring out the Cream of Wheaton. Libby wrote Political Ramblings in the peace and quiet of Yellow Parlor, but the grin was impish. Carol good-naturedly made the perpetual circuit to the telephone and back, trying to round up late articles. Joanie peered through black harlequin glasses; the blue plastic ruler didn’t lie, she needed just two more inches on freshman elections! Every Wednesday night as the smoke cleared away and the clamor subsided, all tumbled exhausted back to the dorms, while Polly then tied the strings together and completed the package with a profes- sional bow. By Friday evening her work was over for the week, as |? the campus resounded with, “News is out Vike Rushlight’s glow has spread to further horizons this year. The staff of- fered its annual cash prize for the most outstanding contribution to the pub- lication. Editor Peggy Webb and her associates designed a versatile maga- zine for the pleasure of every kind of reader. ‘The three issues combined phi- losophy and humor, lit- erary Criticism and satire, effective layout and novel illustrations. With its in- formal tone, the 1950-51 Rushlight serves to reflect the atmosphere of our Wheaton campus. 26 ‘Time and talent com- bined to produce Niké 1951. Energetic Editor Dink Wise and_ her assistant, Pril Kendall, planned, consulted, and coordinated. Joy Mun- necke recorded events in black and white. Neeta Villa translated ideas into lines. Betty — Davison caught momentary pressions on photographic plates. Jane Harrington aroused interest on cam- pus. Patti Wilson and Byrd McNeal worked with the cold hard facts im- of finances. The Niké staff has worked out, in these pages, an intricate pattern of life at Wheaton, offer- ing the seniors the oppor- tunity to reflect on happy college days in years to come. K ushlight The Wheaton Chapter of the Phi Beta Kappa Fraternity was founded in September, 1931. This or- ganization has endeavored to pay tribute to academic excellence by electing qualified students to mem- bership. Each year, at the initiation of new mem- bers, Phi Beta Kappa gives the entire college community an opportun- ity of hearing lectures by persons distinguished in the academic field. At this time also, the Phi Beta Kappa Scholarship is awarded to a senior or re- cent alumna to aid in the continuation of her edu- cation in graduate studies. 2yae Pp My Vscie Kappa Psyche, the oldest so- ciety on campus, was founded in 1857 by Lucy Larcom. To be eligible for membership in this honorary literary society, a student must have com- pleted eighteen hours of literature, including twelve hours of English A speciic grade requirement must also be met. This year Psyche has sponsored sev- eral teas at which stu- dents and faculty partici- pated in discussions, and sponsored E, E. Cum- mings in a reading of his poetry at a meeting open to the whole college. literature. 2H Ge ‘Angel voices raised on high’ have blended in tonal and rhythmic effects to produce a year of brilliant music. ‘Through Christmas, Founder's Day, Spring concert and May Day, the Choir, led by Julie, Amy, Barbie, Midge, Peggy and Norma, has worked constantly to bring mean- ing to the choral music of the masters, such as Schiitz, Bach, Fauré, Brahms and Strauss. To those behind the chancel, Choir has addi- tional meaning. It conveys extra section rehears- als and intense practise Cand one less hour of 28 sleep on those crucial Sunday mornings). It also includes that inner excitement just before the concert, Mr. G’s grin as the broadcast closes with the humming of the Resonet, and Mr. Ram- seyer’s slow smile as that A sharp finally sounds clear and resonant. New meaning will be added years from now, when, while listening to Whea- ton recordings, memories will come from the phonograph, recalling when it was choir time ... the hands of the organist were poised . . . the conductor signalled to begin . . . and angel voices were raised on high. Whasic (hil Music clubbers have had fun this year planning all types of entertainment for their monthly meet- ings. Able leaders Ginger, Peggy, Deanie and Kay helped the club to carry out its program. The twen- ty music lovers guided by Miss Hainsworth have held discussions on the great masters, listened to records, and invited Mr. Ramseyer, Head of the Music Department, to play various piano selections for them. Non-members were included in Saturday night excursions to hear the Boston Symphony and Zimbler Sinfonietta performances. Whims 2 WAVE ee ares These thirteen melodymakers inspired with Wheatone harmony and rhythm can easily say that the number of their group has brought good luck in singing at Junior Prom, Wheaton clubs near- by and campus picnics. ‘hey were not superstitious knowing that they could depend on the able leadership of Shirl, the jokes and laughter of Bibber, Lou, Harri and Weedie, the attempts made by Jan, Pril, Tink and Pooh to smile and the solos by Willa, Pierce, Sue and Flossie. It’s been a year of Whimsical fun and song at dances, campus functions and over the radio for this group of dreamy singers, whose senior members began composing their own arrange ments three years ago under tal- ented Kathy's direction. Now Mimi has been left in charge of incorporating the same spirit and gaiety into next year's Whims. A hearty, musical farewell goes to Kathy and her troupe—Jerce, Wedge, Patsy, Bovo, Smitty, Sue, Peg, Jan and Ginny. Sie diiael Kola Chub This year Lou Long and the associate ofhcers of IRC concentrated on getting students to enter into discussions and to formulate opinions of their own on important problems of the day. The emphasis was not put on trying to solve problems, but rather to bring the various aspects of those problems to light. In the fall Libby Fenno spoke on her activities at Oxford as the IRC scholar last summer; Dr. Paul Cressey spoke on his year in Burma; and Frank Fischer, as a National Student Association representative to Yugoslavia last summer, spoke on his trip. In the second semester the main speaker was the eminent Sigmund Neuwman, who gave an excellent talk on Western Europe. The International Relations Club scholarship fund was under the leader- ship of Libby Fenno. Auctioning professors at the IRC dinner and selling chances for a meal ticket at Marty's were two means of contributing to the fund. This year’s IRC scholar is Isabel Collins, and the alternate is Diana Baldwin. 30 Here are three girls who spend their time in an effort to make all of us happier. Cloie has done a fine job in S.A.B. with the additions to the Game Room and kitchen supplies, and, of course, we all appreciate the new Vic in the Cage. Ginny’s efforts to make mealtime merrier has resulted in our now cordial dining room atmosphere and formal seating arrange- ments. Shirley’s the one who arranged the fresh- man skits, the Christmas banquet, May Day, and, of course, Vodvil. These girls are among the most deserving of our hearty thanks. As an attempt to serve as a coordinating agency for students all over the country, N. S. A. provides a medium of exchange of ideas and benefits for all people on the college level. Sue Bovington and Marjorie Yungk have worked quietly and dili- gently to bring the bene- fits of the National Stu- dent Association to the Wheaton campus. They attended conferences dur- ing the summer and fall to better projects such as a Student Discount Sys- tem and the travel infor- mation service. Here on campus N. S. A. also combined with — other clubs to bring outside speakers and activities to Wheaton to further cul- tural exchange among stu- dents. Sea anh Corin ery Gla oye (Cie! Once again the high- light of the year for the lovers of the classical tra- dition was the Christmas Banquet where Callie Nakos presided. The club went to Cambridge during the winter for a lecture on philosophy by a Harvard professor, and another trip was taken in the spring to participate in a symposium of “Love.” Undoubtedly, the discussion was not only classical, but had a few modern undertones! 32 Pat Rea, Joy Smith, and their art-loving asso- ciates presented the mem- bers of the Art Club with several outstanding speakers throughout the year. Katherine Neilson, former Wheaton _profes- sor, spoke on “Saints and Sinners” in art, while a teacher from the Rhode Island School of Design spoke on advertising. A movie on Rubens, pro- claimed to be “the most artistic motion picture of the year,” was shown in the spring, and the mar- velous masterpieces of that artist virtually came alive on the screen. The highlight of the year, however, was a talk on architecture by the emi- nent Walter Gropius. GE ii: (Ha ‘Three in one... that’s 2 the Romance Languages omance spar: Club. An interest in French, Spanish or Ital- ChE jan means much more, as Mary Reed and Megan ‘Townsend lead the entire group through programs at the Christmas and Mardi Gras parties to in- crease knowledge of the language, customs and way of life of these peo- ple, while costumes and refreshments typical of each country enhance these activities. On the more serious side, the club also established a scholar ship fund to aid students at the Sorbonne in Paris. see ie The German Club, re- fusing to be retarded by a two-year absence, main- tained a vigorous program of activities throughout the year. Led by Presi- dent Barbie Cole and Sec- retary- Treasurer Ute Gré- schel, the club members worked to raise money and to collect clothing for friends in Germany. In Yellow Parlor, they held club discussions of all topics ranging from “We spoke German for three hours all the way from Hanover to Gottingen!” to “The German people Chb should not be rearmed; eT a Me they are tired of war.” Club activities extended to Korsch’s Castle when “Stille Nacht, Heilege Nacht” rang out at Christmas time. Wher- ever the location, their ac- complishments cannot be overlooked. ‘The only ap- propriate comment is an enthusiastic “Welcome back!” 33 Prychology Go!

Led by Gene Twitchell, Lucia Harvie, Bunny Bernstein and Pooh Vincent, the Club has brought qualified speakers to lecture on sub- jects of universal interest. It's a must on every sub- conscious agenda! After all, don’t you want to be significant to the 1% level? Ses: bib Budding scientists pur- sue Bunsen burners and regenerated Planaria in discussions and_ lectures of the Science Club! This year, President Frances Vinton Smith and Secre- tary- Treasurer Isabel Col- lins have led the club in presentations of diversi- fied programs by students, members of the faculty, and by outside speakers. Butch Keyes’ discussion of her summer at Woods- hole, Miss Hill’s exhibi- tion of the astronomy lab- oratory, and Mr. Martin Vogel’s lecture on “X-Ray Induced Mutations in Bacteria” were among the programs presented. 34 The Dramatic Association really brought down the house in 1950-51. Early in the year the low ceiling over the stage was removed to provide needed space for lighting equipment and elabor- ate flying devices. Stage conditions were fur- ther improved by the addition of a new curtain and a new canvas floor cloth during the year. The successful production of Thornton Wild- ers popular play, The Skin of our Teeth, on Friday night, provided added entertainment for the Riding Meet Weekend. Shakespeare’s ever delightful comedy, A Midsummer Night's Dream, also helped to round out Founder's Day activities in the spring. An unusually large num- 35 aye fate sie ber of freshman plays were presented this spring. Freshmen, aided by interested upperclassmen. put on six one-act plays in the Little Theater. At the close of the Wheaton Dramatic season, D. A. once again invited students, patrons, and guest stars to a banquet honoring all those who contributed in any way to the year’s activities. An extra round of applause, however, should go to D. A. president, Chase Crosley for the efh- cient management of her organization; to vice president Joy Munnecke for her supervision of Theater Guild tickets and transportation; to sec- retary Nell Shaver for her careful recording of events; and to treasurer Gina Bahlman for bal- ancing an unsteady budget. “Framed” proclaimed the return of the native (Eliza Baylies Chapin Wheaton), who left her frame on the library wall to investigate Wheaton life 1951. Eliza (Sally Clark) encountered Pooh Vincent reading the new view book, and, after procuring one herself, she found the book a most enlightening revelation of Wheaton, the dream and the reality. Eliza went to the president’s reception, where Jan Marsh bemoaned the hardships of orienta- tion, and Dr. Meneely (Hank Turin) dashed away in search of the “stolen” Mary Lyon. Dangling her keys, Mrs. Olson (Gy Stuart) met Eliza and showed her the wonders of the dining room where citrus fruits, cereal, coffeepot, eggs, muffin and melba toast sang of the wonders “on your Wheaton breakfast table.” After an inves- tigation of the morning meal and a tip from Bibber ‘Truscott on how to get your man on washday, we were brought back to earth by the faculty Fishbowl Polka as the team of Shaffer and Barry (Harriet Chimakoff and Nancy Wedge) put the faculty through “spring train- ing” (thank you, Pril Kendall). Luncheon en- tertainment was provided by Mrs. Miller’s (Jan Marsh) floor show Cliterally, that is), and “will- ing” small talk was provided by Mrs. Mackenzie (Joy Munnecke). Miss Amen and Mr. Gilbert (Peggy Webb, Hank Turin) were extremely “subjective, associative, psychological, and com- plex!” 36 Usd “Eliza met three students going to the store’”— and they’re off! Miss Goddard (Lele Lyne) dis- carded book selling for book making as she al- ternated between the Snookie and Crook stores. Over the counters passed Shipley’s Psychological Scotch, Eau de |’Amour de Luigi, and “Plain Cods” while Flossie Rigg sang the No Money Blues, and over the footlights everyone passed out, including twin Starkeys, Hough Hoyt. Anne Pierce’s spring song and Eliza’s old Eng- lish ballade set the stage for May Day. ‘The court of May was in rare form. The musicians copied the Spirit of ’76; the Jester copied jokes from Joe Miller and the virtues copied a three-ringed beer ad. The Queen (Jers Glore) alone was unique, as she was dragged from the audience by the heralds to sing of her troubles with a.m. (that’s Augie Miller) and p.m. (that’s whiskey). At this point Miss Colpitts (Ann Underwood ) took over with an open letter to the Wheaton community and promised a super spaghetti dinner. The library, where we sympathized and loved every minute of Shirley Cross’s “Left-hand- ed Song”, was something out of this world dur- ing spring reading period. We went through the swinging doors, rode up and down in the ele- vator, avoiding the third floor (Ink!), browsed among the comic books and saw movies in the art gallery until someone discovered that the portrait was missing from the wall. Just then, whistling “Old Smokey”, Willy Cby herself) galloped through the audience, jumped onto the stage and restored the portrait to its rightful place. Eliza made her farewells and stepped back into her frame: her visit was over and so was the show! otic 5s0ctation 38 Enthusiasm was the watchword of the A. A. Board this year and this enthusiasm was carried out in their accomplishments. Beginning with diapers and rattles at the first sports meeting, the Board proved that it was going to give Wheaton a new and better Athletic Association. Some of the innovations it gave us were an A. A. paper, an A. A. mascot, and a greater number of play- days. Several tournaments in a great variety of sports were held throughout the year, including the tennis tournament won by Peg Whitall and the archery tournament won by Deanie Dubbelde, as well as tournaments in bowling, bridge, and ping pong. K.K.K. was held again this year, a new feature of which was the sale of beanies in class colors, making their appearance throughout the year at hockey, basketball, and baseball games, and re- minding us of this capable and colorful A. A. Board. A figure lounges in Marty’s, cigarette in one hand and a cup of coffee in the other. Such leisure at that hour she has never experienced ... she is taking her fifth legitimate cut in hock- ey during the fall season. As she relaxes, she thinks of her roommate puffing up and down the hockey field because she overcut the sport the year before, and her attendance is required. This senior is enjoying a senior privilege— freedom of attendance at gym. While she sinks lower in her seat and dunks a doughnut in her coffee, she smiles to herself as she recalls her many riotous experiences in Wheaton athletics. There were those rip-roaring hockey games with opposing classes fighting it out while red pinnies flew and “f” shaped weapons clashed in the air. Spectators shouted some new rendition of high school cheers from the sidelines. Then there were swimming classes. As a prospective student looking over the Wheaton campus, she admired the pool. After finally passing her bobbing test sophomore year, she entered the intermediate division and practiced until try-outs came for Tritons and class teams. Neither could use her, by now, intricate bob- bing technique, and sinus trouble gave her a convenient excuse to forget aquatic life and take up golf. So enthusiastic was she in golf that every ball she scooped into the air never appeared again. Losing balls was not the only discouraging part of her golfing career and, when she clubbed the instructor over the head, she realized golf was definitely not in her line. Sessions in tennis fol- lowed, but they were no more successful. She remembers playing in the tennis tournament and baffling her first Gand. only) opponent with an unintelligible method of play. When she tried softball in the spring, she thought that she had found her sport. In this game she could correlate all her other athletic experience: she used her driving technique at bat, her bobbing in ducking balls, and her tennis form while sliding into first base. And those twilight games after supper . as darkness 40 came on, no one knew whether she was hitting the ball or not, so her batting ability went un- noticed. Even the raw carrots at dinner didn’t improve evening games. Modern and country dance classes improved her coordination, and after returning from the Outing Club mid-semester ski-weekend, she walked so beautifully on crutches that gym classes were no longer needed. From then on she watched basketball games, occasionally hit- ting her fellow spectators with a flying crutch. And so her athletic days at Wheaton passed . . . and, as she ordered another cup of coffee, she reflected that, although hers was not a college career of athletic prowess and skill, her sports activities were filled with moments she would never forget. Club The gals who rise at six o'clock in the morning and are known as Wheaton’s “Horsey Set,” had a very active year. Of course the annual fall and spring shows, under the captaincy of Jean Stevenson, were held as usual, and the girls proved that early morning prac- tices pay off. The fall riding meet again highlighted a November weekend, and Wheaton came threugh victorious. Frances Sherwood was presented with the Riding Cup proclaiming her the best rider in the show. Cloie Cohen, this year’s head of riding, introduced a new fea- ture for all those interested in this sport. Overnight rides were held, in addition to the more frequent supper rides. These special features gave all an opportunity to participate in riding activities. 4] a eu2nse Renees Deitaat wy Be tier Every winter when we see girls rush into dinner at the last minute with hair dripping we know that the Triton show isn’t far away. This year's show was well worth the wait, for Joan Hamilton led the Tritons and Tri- tonettes in a beautifully synchronized show that gave evidences of a great deal of intensive practice. Each number represented a different country, pro- viding a colorful and imaginative production. 42 The majority of time and effort, of course, was spent on the show, but the Tritons also found time to travel to Welles- ley where they contribut- ed their talent to a swim- ming symposium. All in all, whether here or there, the Tritons and Tritonettes dived into 1950-1951 with much en- thusiasm and came up with a season full of rhythmic fun and enter- tainment. dehissyear Dance Group, headed by Ginny Hay, was able to present a variety of activities as well as its annual concert Demonstrations and_les- sons to students of sur- rounding high — schools, and participation in a dance playday at Bradford Junior College kept the girls busy in the fall. The girls were fortunate in at- tending master lessons of Pearl Primus and Myra Kinch and in attending concerts by these and other foremost modern dancers. VW ihdorn BD ice Percy Lindsay led the gals in calico and blue jeans in a_ season of American and European folk dances, culminating in the concert in the spring. Country Dance Group had a large and enthusiastic membership this year, and Miss White of the Physical Education Department provided the necessary calls for the dances, as well as teaching new dances and helping the girls in brushing up on the old ones.

Smiles from the gals in Chapin in- dicated a paint job in their smoker. The gloom of dungeon life in dark recesses was gone for- ever. [he smokers are a part of college life we'll never forget, even when memories become dim and hazy—dim and hazy, wow! Ever stuck your head in Everett's little smoker? That dim and hazy are here right now. Dance weekends went off merrily as usual with eyes hidden behind black and white masks at the Soph Hop or shining with starlight from an Evening in Paris. And wasn’t Riding Meet more fun this year with that cup in our hands at last? Of course, what could surpass the charm of May day!—Guess toes twinkled excitedly all season. Highlights and more—the bridge tournament where we pulled for our favorite couple—“Swish- ing” through the Game Room—those ukes that resounded in the night—to say nothing of “The Thing” which resounded both day and night. Ah, leisure moments stretched into hours be- cause we hated to leave those bull sessions. Then the time you shut your eyes for forty winks and slept through gym—another cut gone. And who didn’t depart for the movies in Attleboro or Taunton? More distractions to keep you from that govt. and chem. Wheaton faces were everywhere as the delica- cies of the Toll House, the Red Coach Grill or Bristol Farms were tantalizingly presented. And, of course, the old stand-bys, Bill’s and Marty’s, were jammed—nickles clicked in the jukeboxes and “Aba-daba Honeymoon” or “The Tennessee Waltz” filled the air. Even the Ice Follies were on our calendar as February saw Miss Wheaton doing her bit for cancer at the Boston Gardens—and again famil- iar faces showed up for the scholarship fund as the sophomores presented a fashion show. (“Turn toward the audience, not away, please!” ) So you think you're a quiz kid? Take a look at some of us who battled St. Andrews—had a chance to broadcast, too, as Wheaton battled the airwaves. Gotta be up on the latest news for that job. No more funnies for me. Say, why the weekend rush for Senior Parlor? And where did you leave your shoes? Panagus Point was a favorite picnic spot as the fall and spring breezes sang through the pines, and bi- cycling off to explore Norton became another pastime as the urge to “get out” hit us. Buzz-zz-zz—not another plane over the sun deck! Can’t a girl burn in peace any more? They've got you covered when you're uncovered. Oh well, pass the baby oil. Floor parties . . . dorm parties . . . Thanks- giving and Christmas and Easter . . . Sunday coffee in Yellow Parlor. Migosh, where does the time go? We can’t catch our breath fast enough between events. Who ever said there was any free time? Yes, the college year really flew along in a blaze of activitiy, as Wheatonites powdered their faces and poked their noses into the possibilities Ore lO As ne Piagreen SH Golly Sei 5] (iba O PD President Margaret Whitall, Vice-president Prue Sherrill, Secretary Cyn- thia Pittenger, Treasurer Penny Burley, Song-Leader Patricia Kearse. To The Class Of 1954: On September 18, 1950, a hundred and sixty freshmen came to Wheaton to begin their first year of college life, and what a year it has been for us. New, different, exciting, interesting. Remember the first day—strange faces, the rush, the questions. Everything was new and yet so familiar to us in a few days. The strange faces became clearer and you congratulated yourself when a name matched a f ace. Soon the upper- classmen arrived and you met your junior sister. She introduced you to Bill’s and Martys’. The fun of getting acquainted and ‘do you know so-and-so’. Soon activities began; the reception at the president's house, the freshman banquet where leading seniors gave us their first impressions of Wheaton. That scared and lonely feeling seemed to quickly disappear, didn’t it? ‘Then the week of hazing came. Will we ever forget wearing our name signs, lampshades for hats, and clothes inside out? By the 52 way, did anyone ever catch a fish in the Dimple? Weren’t our sophomores cruel mak- ing us wear pigtails! Our initiation came to an end with the hilarious freshman skits and the sophomore picnic. Here we got to know our sophomore sisters, sang and ate by a roaring fire and best of all we burned our hateful signs. By now we were full- fledged freshmen and the work really began. Those 8:30 classes, biology lab where you really got to know Mr. Toad! In a few weeks the juniors gave us a picnic and we had a better chance to know our big sister who had helped us in so many things. Another chance for getting ac- quainted came with the Brown Acquaintance Dance. There were tall ones and thin ones, short ones and fat ones, and it was fun. With the coming of winter, Timbre classes started, bringing stiff joints and moans from all of us. We now know how to walk and sit down! The winter brought Christ- mas holidays and with that the Christmas banquet. We'll never forget the friendly quietness which everyone felt at this time. After vacation we dug in again, struggling through reading period and to our great surprise, living through exams. Mid-semester vacation brought out the ambitious ones and they took off for the snow-capped mountains, returning with bru ises and bumps but still with their enthusiasm. With the approach of spring, our attentions were turned toward Vodvil and Tritons where many hours were spent in preparation. The freshmen also got together for a picnic which was held in the Cage. No one of us will forget that entertaining skit. After the long awaited spring vacation came Founder’s Day when we wore our white dresses and red sweaters. May Day was another crowning glory showing us again some of Wheaton’s fine tradition. These events passing brought the realization of the end of the year. We would never be freshmen again. We are old hands at college now. As we think back, the year has been a wonderful one, so much spirit and such friendly attitudes. For our first year to be so good, think what the next three will bring. Sincerely, Peg Whitall 52 President Phyllis Mason, Vice-president Nancy Esenwein, Secretary Lydia Dingwell, Treasurer Ann Adams, Songleader Mary Joan Beach. Dear Class of ’53: As we started our year as “silly sophomores” we immediately found ourselves surrounded by slews of freshmen complete with bureau drawers, and lampshades which were a part of Freshman Hell Week. These additions to their wardrobes suc- ceeded in taking away some of the sophistication of the newly arrived Class of 1954; however, the dormitory parties on Friday night and the picnic on Saturday put us sophs back in the new students’ good graces. Along came Senior Day when we sang to the seniors as they marched to the Chapel and served them at their picnic that night. Next we gave the “Black and White Ball” which was a big success due to the help and imagination of the dance committee. Our favors, black and white masks, almost suffocated us but they are pleasant reminders of a very happy weekend. In October we elected Es as our new vice-president; she has been a great help picking 54 up and carrying on where I’ve left off. Lee’s minutes will always have a top place among ’53’s documents and a job well done was the way she handled the cot problem over our dance weekend. So far our trustful treasurer, Ann, has not lost track of one cent—the accounts have never been in better order. Our song leader, Jo, was always bursting with ideas, music and words for songs—even a song festival. Her face never lost its smile when I would ask her to do a small favor or even a small song. Carol Weymuller was elected our A. A. representative and did a “sporting” job helping to plan K. K. K. and various tournaments. All in all, our class has had top representa- tives this year. Came December we busied ourselves planning Mummers and the Christmas Banquet. Judy Crosier, who substituted as Master of Revels for Jo, lived up to true form and was hysterically funny . . . that colored water served at head table in Emerson certainly hit the spot! Hough and Susie Glazier were House Fools in Everett and the Faculty Dining Room. Rusty Jacobs, Nancy Locke, Niki Peyser and Sue Hosking wrote a masterpiece for the Prank which was acted out by several of the Mummers. The whole Banquet went off beautifully During reading period Joanie Kanter and Posie Jacobson gave us all a ‘cocoa and doughnut party’ in the Cage. Madame Pinacoli sang and danced for us which helped relieve study-worn minds. Then in February Cookie and her Wheaton models presented a delightful fashion show for the benefit of the scholarship fund. Ahead of us were visions of treasure hunt and our class rings and, before we all left for summer jobs and vacations, we had Tree Day, Founder’s Day and Commencement. Other things popped up to keep us all busy in the months before June, but as I look back over our sophomore year, I feel that it has been a happy and fun year for all of us. We are a class with talent and personalities that will take us places in the next two years. It has been fun working with you and knowing you all. Lots of good luck in the future. Sincerely, Phyllis Mason, President of the Class of 1953 P. S. I hope that Duffy finds her unmentionables; that Franny keeps on winning horse shows; that Tita can always take mid-winter vacations, and that Gretchen Wheelock enjoys her new life of domesticity. 55 Class 0 (QZ Presideni Priscilla Lindsay, Vice-president Priscilla Kendall, Secretary Constance Hurd, Treasurer Carol Bossert, Songleader Polly ‘Taylor. Dear 52’ers— “The silly sophomores find that they are jolly Juniors now. “They're back to study hard and have a roaring time, and how!” This was the welcome song that started us off on our first year of being legal upperclassmen—a year that drew us together in our fun and work. We started the year off with an emphasis on Junior-Freshman activities under Lele’s direction. It seemed like an eternity before the food arrived for the Bacon Bat, but, what with those tremendous carrots, Sis’s wonderful accordion music and the happy atmosphere of the Cage, the party was a great success. This beginning was fol- lowed by dorm parties for our Freshmen sisters at Christmas-time and another large party for the two classes in March. 56 Jan Reycroft and Hedgie did a beautiful job in organizing our annual coffee for the faculty. Everyone whe was anyone appeared, and they never even realized what panic had preceded because of the frozen cream and the mistaken flowers! The next thing we knew, exams were upon us—quelle hell! Because our “Some- mores” party had been so successful and because we felt that we deserved diversion, we treated ourselves to a “Come-As-Your-Secret-Desire” Party. Such hidden desires as “The Thing,” a bride, a bum, a cover girl, seniors and skiers by the score appeared. Who'd a thunk it? Jan’s and Cynnie’s costume, as the two-headed monster with all A’s took the prize for being the cleverest. It will suffice to say Mimi's outfit Cconsisting mainly of pillows and oranges) was the funniest there!! “Cherchez les hommes” was our cry early in February when publicity for Petit Paris, our Junior Prom weekend, came out. Many thanks to you, Joy, for having made our show on Friday night such a success. The Cafe de la Paix will never again have such a jolly head waiter as Julie or such a green and naive Wheatonite as Nancy. And, Marsh’s “Squeek--y horn” was very much a part of the show. Do you remem- ber the thrill we had when the audience yelled out for a repeat performance? Why, even the French department, whom we had expected to squirm with reproach when they saw our interpretation of the French, exclaimed that it wa s “magnifique.” You say our necklines must be lower and that we don’t need frat lodge gazers? With a bit more French sophistication, mood music and atmosphere, we danced away an “Evening in Paris.” We were transported right into that gay city through Janie’s decorations in Plimpton and the “Pink Champagne.” All this and scented programs, too. Junior Prom was never like this before! Junior Frolic was our last fling before entering the “ultra-ultra, too-too” world of seniors. Even after having ordered our pictures for the year book and our caps and gowns, it seems hard to believe that this year has reached its end and that our jolly class now has to attempt at least to act the part of sophistication. And, here’s to Ute and Lucienne. It’s been a pleasure having you with us this year. Next time we're either in Bavaria or Paris, France, we will give you a shout, for sure! Special thanks go to our ‘ossifers’; to you Prill, just for being our Maniac Veep; to Connie for being so ready and willing to read the minutes, when most of the time they were forgotten; to Carol for having kept a clear head when the Junior Prom re- ceipts would have driven anyone else to distraction; and to Song-Polly-Leader-Taylor- Almost-Durand for your help and encouragement. There’s nothing more I can say that won't give us all the impression that this is the best class ever. But, let’s face it—it’s true! So—— “We cut our classes, tip our glasses, Act like—lithesome little lasses. Hooray for the Junior Class.” Love ’ya all, Percy oy Ce 1951 TOSTLIESSENIORS Down by Old Metcalf pillars, where the sun darts in and out, there lives a certain little elf whom you all know but maybe haven't seen. He is a direct descen- dant of Pan and has inherited his forefather’s light step, happy pipe, and solid wisdom. He is dressed all in yellow with a tiny mortar board atop his elfin head, and he’s the spirit of the class of 1951. Yesterday, I found him stretched out in a warm puddle of sunshine looking back at the past four golden years. Climbing up on my shoulder, he loosened his well- starched stock: “Remember,” he said, “Senior day and the first time you wore your caps and gowns (looking very stately) and solved the mysteries of tying a stick? Re- member the picnic, first step sing, the Dean’s talk, and t he coke party afterwards?” He giggled. “And I'll never forget the first formal seating and the stages of nervous- ness, pride, and relief you all went through!” I was just then wondering at my small friend’s ability to be everywhere for everything. “Don't tell me,” I said, “that you were at our famous November step sing!” “Sure was,” he replied. “That’s what’s so special about me: I’m everywhere that any of you go, whether you're alone or in a group. That’s my privilege. I admit that that night I crawled into a senior’s pocket to keep warm but I was singing as lustily as anyone else. Speaking of cold, what about the senior caroling and the long short- cut through the briars? Never saw so many scratches taken so cheerfully! I was glad to see the cocoa and fire waiting in the Game Room when we got back, tho! And I even managed to stay to the end with the many “die hards.” Same thing at the Na- tivity Play. I was there, all right Cwith flannel pajamas and stadium boots under my clothes like the rest of the participants) and a mighty nice scene it was.” 58 “I got a slight rest over vacation to pep me up for exams, but nothing did as much good as seeing so many of you at the class picnic during reading period. The smiling “ghost of exams passed” was a welcome sight, too. “Spring ushered in the busiest time, tho—meetings, coffees, Tree Day, house parties, Ivy Day, Class Day, Commencement Ball, and now, Commencement, itself. I was at all these things; as a matter of fact, at all the things you've ever done. You see, I couldn't live unless the heart of every fifty-oner believed in me, and felt I was important. I’m real because of everyone and all of you.” “But where,” I questioned, “will you go when we all leave?” He flashed a winsome smile at me. “A part of me will go with each one of you wherever you may go. But since I only grow through giving, I shall remain Incite too. No one but your class will see me, fen everyone will ete that I exist.’ He slid down off my shoulder and as I turned to go, he waved a golden sleeve in farewell. The last I saw of him was the tiny tassel a a miniature mortar board tickling across a laughing nose and I heard a golden voice call out, ones them all for keeping me Ane el never fear, I'll see you all around the campus.” And just in closing, thanks from me for keeping him alive. It has been a golden year with many things to remember: many laughs, many thoughts, many friends, and many things to look forward to when we all come back again!
