We don’t go in the front door of the chapel ’til we're seniors . . . we avoid the light in the Slype . . . we hunt for our treasures of Pegasus and Pan .. we wear white dresses with class-colored sweaters . . . we have spring corsages for our senior sisters . . . We sing “Best Wishes” and “Where, oh where are the pea-green freshmen?” . . . we make the daisy chain and take our freshman sisters to breakfast at the Inn. We have our traditions, and we love them.

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
