HowARD MENEELY at der i Pres Page four PRESIDENT S A FATHER leads his family, so does Dr. Me- JX neely lead the Wheaton College community. He scolds his children when they are troublesome, as when they sometimes leap from the classroom win- dows of Mary Lyon or take short cuts to their dorm1- tories across the newly sown lawn. He calls them to- gether at chapel and church to advise and instruct them, and at mass meetings he frankly discusses the problems confronting the college family. As serious and as dignified as he is in his many admin- istrative duties, he and his charming wife also lend an air of gracious hospitality in their home, at teas and receptions, and at the college dances. Dr. Meneely’s delightful wit, his love of young peo- ple, his concern for them, and the warm sparkle in his eye add a special kind of friendliness to the Wheaton campus. To the students, Wheaton College will always be a second home; Dr. Meneely, a second father. Page five Miss ELISABETH WHEELER AMEN Pa ge SIX JEDIGATION OR MANY years the students of Wheaton College have been greet- ed by her friendly smile as she hurries along the campus between Doll's House and the Nursery School. Forever busy in her life’s work, she has taught . us with her patience and deep under- standing, so much a part of her. With interest in every individual and from constant association with young people, she will ever remain Wheaton’s own “blithe spirit.” With great appre- ciation to Miss Amen, a pioneer in her field of psychology, we affectionately dedicate our 1952 Niké. Left: Dean of Students, Miss Coupitts, Right: Academic Dean, Mrs. May NTERING into every phase of Wheaton’s social life is our Dean of Students, Miss Colpitts. Her presence at the many events on campus (many times with Saxon!) is an indication of her interest in college life. Whether the problems that she deals with are large or small, the happiness of each stu- dent is of most importance to her. In this her third year at Wheaton, Miss Colpitts has lent enthusiasm and friendly humor to the college family. Mrs. May, our Academic Dean, has been an indispensable aid to the members of all classes at Wheaton. From orientating the freshmen in their first year at college to advising the sophomores and juniors in their choice of majors and helping the seniors with plans for their future years, she combines cheerfulness, ability, and effectiveness in meeting any situation. Page eight ERVING with the Waves during the last war, Miss Ziegler showed abilities which we have seen for the past two years at Wheaton. As Director of Admissions she welcomes the prospective student with a bright smile and cheerful personality which we enjoy on the campus through- out the year. Her many activities include participation in chapel services and in productions of the Norton Singers where we have heard her lovely voice. Not only ts she a great asset to the administration but also a close friend of the col- lege community. In the two years since Miss Dearden has returned to Whea- ton in the capacity of Registrar, she has faced countless prob- lems concerning professors as well as students. At the begin- ning of each semester the blue cards that we find in our mail boxes and the carefully prepared list of classes which appears on the bulletin board are the products of many of her hard working hours. Through Miss Dearden’s efficiency, the office of the Registrar remains a well managed part of the admin- istration.

But the rest of the time we see our professors as they really are: energetic, friendly, and always ready to lend a helping hand. Even Mr. Cohen, at home in Cam- bridge, willingly eased the minds of worried math students when he received a frantic phone call from Norton after mid-years. And many are the hours that Mrs. Mackenzie entertains the students Upper: Cafeteria style in the new faculty dining room Center: Faculty-Student games Lower left and right: New faculty lounge and dining room with her beautiful voice in the garret of Mary Lyon. Not a small sensation was caused by the arrival of Mr. Fenno and Mr. Dietrichson to our campus this year. More girls are registering for government and philosophy courses than ever before. Perhaps the attraction lies in gay Norwegian suspenders or in an engaging smile! And never will we forget Mr. Briggs appearing at the Starvation Dinner in a white cord coat and gray flannels. We wondered if he were someone's date, but he had forgotten his impeccably dirty white bucks! The darlings of the campus will always remain Mr. Miller—how bewildering those crossword puz- zles are!—and Mr. Sharp, forever sporting the Dart- mouth green. We'll never forget Mrs. Boas’ campaigns for wom- en’s equality, and the little glimpses of Shelley's England which she brought to us so vividly with an occasional anecdote about her family. Have you noticed Miss Clewes’ expressive hands as she molds-a picture of Colonial history? Did you see the note on the emergency bulletin board that “Mrs. Miller zs here’ ? Mr. Gallagher, however, must have skidded into another snowbank! Have you heard Madame Pinacoli’s hair-raising tales about the under- ground during World War Il? We caught the ex- citement of the events even though she did speak in French! The Dr. Jekylls are quickly forgotten, but the memories of Mr. Hyde will stay with us always. Top: What we starved for!

Were we ever! Seniors? Well, there was no doubt about that! Our formal initiation as seniors took place our second night at Wheaton in September after summer va- cation. We sat in groups in the moonlight on the Library steps singing those “old time favorites.” Senior Day in chapel was our next biggest event. What a thrill it was to wear those “terribly, ter- ribly academic looking” caps and gowns! Some of us couldn’t figure ail how to tie our stocks, but nevertheless, we went on to announce our class officers to the school, and our sophomore sisters honored us with a traditional song. Shortly after Senior Day, we had another step sing, but this time we went on to Dr. Meneely’s home where he wel- comed us at his window and listened to our voices at his front door. Miss Colpitts furthered the Presi- dent’s welcome when she talked enthusiastically to us in the Game Room. Our year as seniors at Wheaton was off to a flying start! At the Alumnae weekend we were happy to see a repeat performance of our own skit, ‘‘Café de la Paix,” and November saw us at the yearly Faculty Coffee in Yellow Parlor. Christmas brought the Nativity Scene with Mary and Joseph selected from members of our own class. Remember the candy canes that were strung on a wire from Miss Colpitts’ house to a tree? Remember caroling off campus, draped in long, white, billowy sheets, and carrying candles that — wouldn’t stay lit? We almost froze to death! Read- ing Period parties were fun too, and one particular young lady clad in a racy raccoon coat stole the show at the Black Mail Ball! Being seniors we naturally breezed through ex- ams, and in March we presented class rings to our sophomore sisters at the Ring Banquet in Everett dining-room. Spring seemed destined to rush upon us all at once and our schedule was flooded with events; the Alumnae Tea ... Dr. Meneely’s talk to the seniors ... the thought of generals. . . April and its showers brought Tree Day, and once again our sophomore sisters in white skirts and red sweaters serenaded us. When the grass turned greener, six Virtues were chosen from our class for May Day. It was a strug- gle to get up out of a nice warm bed at six o'clock in the morning, but somehow we managed to get “that well-scrubbed look” on the steps of the Library. Visions of fairies and sugarplums danced in our heads when we thought about senior house parties and graduation. Remember the class prophecy, the class will, and the wonderful banquet? We did have just a 7ti e bit of trouble rolling our hoops from the Library to Hebe Court! Class Day brought the daisy chain and the President’s Reception for seniors, families, guests and the faculty. That night the senior dance at Plimpton Hall was filled with hundreds of glorious memories. And then, the following morning, June 8, the ceremony lasting approximately one hour, we grad- uated. We were leaving Wheaton, but we wete re- living our four wonderful years and were already planning our return as alumnae. See you at Vodvil in '53! om Pres. LEE DINGWELL, Vice Pres. Ty TYLER nthe (Glee Htistory PPERCLASSMEN at last! Two years be- hind us. It didn’t seem possible. Those two years went by so quickly. With all this in mind, we launched forth into 51-52 as Wheaton’s Jolly Juniors. September saw us cheerfully greeting old friends and new. “What did you do this summer?” .. . “Is she really pinned?” ... and of course the familiar ‘do you know” game. With a great deal of eager anticipation we looked forward to meet- ing our freshman sisters only to find them a group of starving Armenians on that first Sunday morn- ing. Regardless, we loved the responsibility of having a younger sister instead of being one our- selves and even delighted in chewing “bacon” with them at the Junior-Freshman Bacon Bat in October. The rain didn’t dampen our spirits in the slightest! And by this time all sorts of forgot- ten things had been removed from our packing boxes, and faded banners had been replaced by brighter looking ones. That month also saw us enlisting our cohorts for an evening of swimming —just for fun. The competition was stiff, but we edged out of the pool a bit exhausted, water- logged and victors of the Marathon. In November, we had a repeat performance of last year’s Fashion Show for the benefit of the Scholarship Fund. Next, plans ensued for our Junior Prom, which at that time seemed in the far distant future. Sec. DONNIE UIHLEIN, Song Leader JO BEACH Treas. MARY SCHENCK Reading period parties in the game room with the freshmen and a junior “coffee and doughnut” party left us with full stomachs, but offered a bit of relaxation and saw us through exams. With a deep breath, we started second semester with only two short weeks to complete prepara- tions for the Junior Prom, our pride and joy. “Full of Beans,” our skit, the Song Fest, and the Beacon Hill Ball proved lots of fun, a great suc- cess, and well worth everyone’s effort. Of course in between events on campus, we always seemed to find time to go to Bill’s for Fri- day night dinners—television was a surprise!— and to the flicks. Then there were young ladies who were notorious for taking rather extended weekends. Was it Thursday through Tuesday ? The powers to look attentive and prepared in classes completely escaped them and _ professors unhappily realized that they had stiff competition. Dorm life also contributed to the fun. Our bridge games improved as our friendships deep- ened. Spring found us giving a Junior-Faculty dessert- coffee, and ‘‘Frolicing”’ for the last time this year, with our usual gay spirit. With this ended a wonderful junior year in- cluding work and fun for all of us. But now it’s time to leave our role as Jolly Juniors and don caps and gowns as Stately Seniors. See you next year! oe insenes re erapaces ee ;, : seerenes. i . ; : j : Ba eeeek sonore: Song Leader Par Kearse, Treas. Roz Ray, Pres. ANN BresTER, V. Pres. PEG WHITEHALL, Sec. SANDY MURRAY Sophomore Class History EPTEMBER dawned bright and crisp and with it the thought that school was once again upon us. We forgot about the summer jobs at camp, about loafing on the beaches, and looked forward to seeing Wheaton once again. But no longer were we low men on the totem pole. We returned as full fledged sophomores. No longer would we unknowingly walk under the light in the Slype or head for the woods looking for the Infirmary. We would no longer have to ask someone where the Sem was, and we were quite aware of where we could find the archery field and Peacock Pond. And the most joyful thought of all was that now there was a younger class whom we would put through hazing. We had waited all year . . . ever since we had been made to wear lampshades on our heads! We decided to make Hell Week only last two days, but we were satisfied to see the freshmen fling themselves on the ground whenever one of us yelled, “Air raid!” Our first informal get- together with our freshman sisters occurred at a picnic before skit night. Did you ever see so much food in your life? But some people wia have dates when there is a picnic scheduled! It gave us a feeling of nostalgia when we sang to our sister class officers. Everyone was duly im- pressed to see them in caps and gowns. We sure were proud of them! October brought ovr weekend and the Soph Hop. We went along with the prevailing season and had ‘‘Autumn Leaves” for our theme. The dance was alive with brightly colored leaves and dancing couples—a weekend long to be remem- bered. Christmas meant exams—but also the Christ- mas Banquet. We played host and became Mum- mers. This was our one chance to tweak a pro- fessor’s cheek and get away with it! Oh, to have been a jester! Later that night, a group of us wel- comed a frostbitten and sheet-bedecked senior class into the Game Room and helped to warm them after they had been serenading. The Ring Banquet in March was really exciting! When our senior sisters placed our brand new rings on our fingers, we felt as though we might have been wearing diamonds! After the ceremony we really began to feel as though we belonged to Wheaton. At long last Spring arrived and with it came our coffee for the seniors and the May baskets. What a splash of color was seen in chapel with flowers on every senior’s head! Graduation will never be forgotten . . . picking daisies and making the chain, even though it wilted from the heat! .. . helping to serve at the tea All made us realize how much we will miss our big sisters but also how much we want a little sister of Our Own. Pres. MUFF LACHMUND, Vice Pres. JANE WALKER Graal Gis Htistory () first days at Wheaton were busy and con- fused with unpacking, dorm meetings, and classes, where we saw our professors for the first time. We couldn’t get used to being in classes with so many upperclassmen! Aside from the usual bustle of first days at school, we were royally enter- tained at the Freshman Banquet and the Meneelys extended welcoming hands at the President’s Recep- tion. We met many new faces through gym, TMBR classes, and those Tuesday and Wednesday nights at the astronomy lab where we groped through the dark by the light of our flashlights to stand there in the cold sketching the moon. The Brown Acquaintance Dance also offered some of us an opportunity to watch the moon. But some of us just wanted to curl upand die!’ We took a beating at the hands of the revengeful sophomores during Hell Week. Memories of klaks, pajamas, and pillow cases will serve us next year with reasons (and weapons!) for mistreating the class of 56! Our wastebaskets suffered more than we did in the game of musical chairs in the Dimple! Freshman skits in the Gym were lots of fun, and we worked a long time writing and rehearsing them. A Freshman chosen from each dorm led us in song between the skits and from the dorm song leaders our class song leader was elected. Song Leader SUE PRICHARD, Sec. DIANNE MCHENRY Treas. ANN MIpwoop The annual Bacon Bat with our junior sisters is still a mighty mystery to us. Where, oh where, was the (salty, salty) bacon? Hamburgers were a good substitute though, and we enjoyed ourselves listening to the Wheatones and learning more about Wheaton from our jolly sisters between songs. We were given an extra dividend as far as sisters were concerned, for we discovered to our surprise that we also had sophomore sisters. The picnic with them was equally as much fun. Our first Christmas at Wheaton was our best pres- ent. The friendliness seemed to increase, and a warm feeling of satisfaction with our Alma Mater assured each of us that we couldn’t have made a better choice. The Mummers, the Nativity Scene, Dr. Meneely’s Christmas story in Plimpton Hall, and our dorm parties fully completed the scene. After Christmas vacation we faced Reading Period and those dreaded Mid-Years. One hour exams had been bad enough. What could we do with ¢hree hours?! We survived the ordeal, however, and en- tered second semester with renewed vigor after mid- semesters. In the Spring we found ourselves eagerly awaiting Founder's Day and May Day, and we began to under- stand the importance of tradition at Wheaton. Yes, we've worked hard and played too. Worth it? You bet! See ya around the campus! Page sixty-two ORGANIZATIONS BACK CAMPUS AND PEACOCK POND Page sixty-three Above: Treas. FRANNIE SHERWOOD, Vice Pres. PHYL Mason, Pres.

In November the organization sponsored a play given by a college theatre class, and we were entertained by the radio presentation of the play, “Woman in Red.” “Ladies in Retire- ment,’ a nineteenth century mystery, involv- ing four spinsters, was D.A.’s major produc- tion of first semester, and in May, “Six Characters in Search of an Author” closed the season on the Wheaton campus. The play- wright’s, Denis Johnston, version of Piran- dello’s work was used by the students. Aside from the usual parties after the Sat- urday evening performance of each play, D.A also had a Christmas party in the Game Room. At the annual D.A.

Arrangements were made for student groups to attend the Pearl Primus concert in Provi- dence and the Sadler's Wells Ballet performance in Boston. We were entertained by the Dance Group from the University of Brazil. Under their capable leader, Carole Levanthal, the Modern Dance Group has had a full and exciting year. The members of Country Dance Group, under their leader, Polly Irish, enjoy doing many differ- ent types of dances including folk, square, and the contra. These thirty girls have equally as much fun with such wide and varied dances as the Kynkkliepaako of Finland, the Miserlou of Greece and Dive for the Oyster, an old American favorite.

Full credit goes to its editor- in-chief Ann Adams who, working since last summer, is proud to present the yearbook to the college. Nike tries to present a birds-eye-view of college life as it really is; its classes, organizations, and its activities each year. It provides an interesting record for Wheaton graduates through which they can easily remember the personality of their college friends and relive their many happy times together.

Its purpose is to provide a “clearing house’ for the registering of Opinion on those matters which affect us as students. Delegates from Wheaton attended the National Congress and various New England re- gional conferences. Panel discussions, News articles, and speakers have brought about a better understanding of the Association to the student body. iteration ‘Relations Hub Sec.-Treas. SALLY SMITH, Conference Chair- man CATHY SALOMON, Program Dzyrector PHYL OFFENBACHER, Pres. Issy COLLINS, Head of Scholarship CHAPPY ANDERSON. Absent: Publicity GERRY LECLAIRE The International Relations Club has again been concerned this year with international problems and events. Remember Isabel Collins’ ac- count of her experiences abroad as the 1951 I.R.C. scholar? Remember the discussions on the Iranian problem, the forecast of the coming British elections, and the debate on the Egyptian question? The Foreign Students’ Conference highlighted the season and extended to Wheaton students a chance to assimilate and lend ideas on international affairs, effectively and enjoyably fulfilling the aim of the Club. “Romance Language Club Head of the Italian group, PAY PARKER, Sec. Spanish Club ELEANOR GEORGE, Pres. French Club JEAN PouLos, Pres. Toppy Hince, Sec. French Club SALLY CLARK, Sec. MEEGAN TOWNSEND, Pres. Spanish Club JOAN Hicks The Romance Language Club has enjoyed an interesting program this year under the leadership of president Toppy Hince. The December radio program and Christmas party, the “Come as a Quotation’ Carnival in March, and the celebration of Victor Hugo’s birthday were all very suc- cessful. Through speakers, parties, and conversation groups, Romance Language Club has afforded its members a closer view of the literature, customs, and languages of France, Italy, and Spain. Pryche Vice Pres. MADDIE CARMICHAEL, Pres. ELMA WEIL, Treas. CORALIE CHILDS, Sec. JANE DRAPER This year Psyche Literary Society has increased its membership to 1n- clude nearly one hundred Wheaton students. Elma Weil has succeeded in bringing speakers such as Adrienne Rich and Denis Johnston before the society, stimulating interest in poetry and play-writing. In collaboration with the Romance Language Club, a talk on Dante and T. S. Eliot was given in Plimpton Hall. Another meeting presented an enlightening discussion on the topic of communism in the modern novel. Mr. Dahl, Psyche’s faculty advisor, adds to the enjoyment of the society, encouraging informal meetings at his home.

Piano and harp recitals and informal gatherings at Miss Trask’s home have contributed to the year’s ac- tivities. Especially enjoyable was Miss Trask’s talk on Jazz, supplemented by the piano and in- teresting recordings. Left: Sec.-Treas. SALLY SAWYER, Pres. DEANIE DuBBELDE. Right: Pres. MARIE YOUNG, Sec.- Treas. JOAN LEUBUSCHER Science Club This year Science Club attempted to make the meetings a tool for the students by introduc- ing speakers whose subjects were of general interest to them and also within their range of comprehension. Under Marie Young’s leadership, the Club's activities included closed and open meetings, showing the students the unlimited possibilities of science afforded to them in college. Page seventy-erght Psychology Aub To answer problems concerning Fruedian in- terpretations of dreams, child development, and mental health, Psychology Club holds sched- uled meetings and discussions. Bunnie Bernstein has been responsible for the Club’s many acti- vities this year and for introducing qualified speakers to its members, as well as to the col- lege community as a whole. Dr. Arnold Gesell, Director of the Gesell Institute of Child Devel- opment, was the most eminent guest of the year. Through the various speakers, the club has done a great deal to stimulate interest in the field. Classics Club Classics Club is a small and compact group of fifteen members, led by its president Mary Themo.

Page eighty Choir Many hours are spent in preparation for Choir’s participation in church services every Sunday morning and the more extensive pro- grams undertaken by this organization. The Christmas Concert was given in the traditional manner, and the modal melodies, French and German carols, and Bach’s Christmas Oratorio were very much enjoyed by the large audience. In March, the Choir sang Jephte, an oratorio by Carissim1, and the Bach Kyrze with the Wil- liams College Glee Club. A picture of the lighter side of Choir would include many amusing incidents. One of these was Mr. G.’s off-hand remark during an early Sunday morning rehearsal that most of the girls were asleep, and a cup of coffee would prob- ably help them all. Several Sundays thereafter, coffee was served in Lower Chapel. The picnic in April brought to a close the stimulating year of music which the Choir en- joyed under the leadership of its president, Bar- bie Brummer. Librarian AGGIE GRIFFITH, Sec. NANCY RENISON, Pres. BARBIE BRUMMER, Manager PEGGY DEMILLE, Marshal FRANNIE BOAL, Supervisor SALLY SAWYER (Whims Under the able leadership of Mimi Scull, an entire new group of Whims was presented to the college this year. ? fe Such songs as “Tea for Two,” “'S’pos- in,’ and “They Say” will be remem- bered as examples of close harmony. “Animal Fair” will always remain the all-time favorite particularly with the bass part which amuses the audi- ence and gives enjoyment to the sing- ers themselves. This year the Whims have highlighted many of the events on campus. They entertained the fes- tive group at the Christmas Ball and at the Sophomore Hop. In coopera- tion with the Wheatones, they joined in the inter-college song fest during dae piano: GINNY HOERLE, Lucy ROESLER, PEG WHITEHALL, JULIE AVIDSON ; ; In front of piano: LEE DINGWELL, ANN HEDGES, SALLY SAWYER, Leader voices and helping to make the after- = Mym1 ScuLt, Pam WELDEN, IsaBEL Levy, PAT KEARSE, BARBIE MCALOON, noon a great success.

Their in- troduction to other schools was made over Dartmouth Fall House Party weekend when they sang at the Delta Tau Delta and Zeta Psi fraternity houses. Since then, Wheatones have appeared at Smith, Connecticut College, Brown and Harvard. They entertained on campus at the Bacon Bat, Junior Prom, and May Day as well as at other functions. The group will al- ways be indebted to their leader of this year, Jan Fleming, who with her vivacious personality and en- thusiastic drive has encouraged and SUE TOWLE, HEATHER YOUNG, BoBBIE GUNNARSON, WILLA WEST- BROOK, Bospi— KNIGHT, NANcy RitTER, NANCY EsENWEIN, PRILL helped Wheatones to enlarge their KENDALL, POOH VINCENT, LEADER JAN FLEMING repertoire and establish a more universal 1eputation. Page eighty-one MRE Gad ig Sein AGTIVITIES EMERSON HALL Page eighty-three Mey Day T THE sound of a trumpet the heralds appear on the steps of the library followed by the solemn procession of the May Queen and her court. In the Dimple the maypoles are festively arrayed and the jester turns a somersault or two. Dancers and singers frolic about the lawn in multi-colored costumes play- ing games in merry sport. Excitement mounts as the Queen nears the ap- pointed place where she will receive her crown. In the old English tradition, Whea- ton College presents a colorful yearly pageant in celebration of the first day in May. The Queen is carefully chosen from the members of the Sophomore Class and the rehearsals for the actual performance are secretly held after dark. So much a tradition at Wheaton, May Day is a memorable occasion for spectators as well as participants. May Court oF 1950 Attendants JoDY BLATCHFORD and DINK WISE with May Queen BETH SPENSER TRADITIONAL May POLE DANCE Vodvil HIS YEAR Vodvil combined two AP: themes into the making of a fine and finished production, directed by Joy Munnecke. The question of “What is el- igibility?’” and the Alice in Wonderland story provided one hour and a half’s worth of care-free and rolicking entertainment. Poor Alice Gibility (Coralie Childs) had her problems (and we did too!) find- ing out just exactly what “eligibility” meant. Completely perplexed by the prob- lem and finding no help in the open meet- ing in the Dimple, she turned to her fac- ulty advisor (Ann Underwood) whose advice she could have done without, and she continued to wind her ball of red tape which grew increasingly in size with the unanswerable question. A visit with the Duchess (Nancy Proper) and some specu- lation by the Cheshire Cat and the Mock Turtle also came to no avail. Even the formal meal and a song from the Dor- mouse (Selma Rosen) didn’t clarify mat- ters, and Alice became more and more in- volved with all the red tape (Betty Sum- mers). (Weren't the napkins over the backs of the chairs in the dining-room scene typical ?) The day of the posture exams (dreadful fate!) arrived, and Alice underwent a lec- ture from Humpty Dumpty (Judy Crosier), and she even sought help from the Red and the White Queens. Finally the awful truth that Alice had never passed her handbook quiz leaked out and she was summoned before the High Court. Here she learned that she was “eligible” (for Vodvil!) and she threw away her enormous ball of red tape. Special awards go to Isabel Levy and to Claire Pollock for their excellent music. Mop of the Deck,” the “Klak Dance,” and the “Finale” brought down the house! The cast of Vodvil gives thanks to their entire production staff who made the show possible as well as thoroughly enjoyable and successful.
