eocnane Stee The Junior Class Launches NIKE 1953 ITINERARY... You've searched for truth in waters clear — Don't stop now, but keep in motion. Think upon it as a river Leading out into an ocean. MISS FLORENCE BARROWS For some of you the budding of cro- cuses on the Wheaton campus is a sign of spring, but for many others, it is a sign of Miss Barrows, our lady Botanist, who cares for the campus all year ‘round. She even takes care of our room plants while we're away on vacation. Her busy days are filled with lectures and labs and frequent trips back and forth between the President’s greenhouse and _ the campus greenhouse. Many bouquets to Miss Barrows for her past ten years at Wheaton and many good wishes to her for her future years of retirement. Her presence has literally and figuratively “brightened up” our campus. Perhaps if she has any room left in her little notebook of things to remember, she might jot down these few words: “The girls of Wheaton will miss you.” Dedication . . . Strictly Wheaton’s The Dimple, the Chapel door, the Library steps, and the shadow in the Slype are symbolic of the undying spirit of Wheaton. These symbols play a meaningful part in our college life, and through the guidance of Dr. Meneely we have come to know the true spirit behind them. For nine years Dr. Meneely has shown his out- standing qualities of sincerity and understanding to the college community in his meetings with us at such memorable times as in the fall of our freshman year when he tells us the history of Wheaton as we sit by the fireside, or during the holiday season when he reads his favorite Christmas stories. Even in our occasional meetings with Dr. Meneely in the Chapel, he always leaves us with a cheerful friendly sugges- tion or a timely thought that we cannot forget. With a quiet manner, Dr. Meneely offers us a welcome in his office or home where we find him appreciative of our individual activities and our problems. We will remember not only the traditions of Wheaton but also one distinctive personality who has encouraged a love for our campus and for our college days. Every campus has unique traditions, and Wheaton is not an exception in this respect. With Dr. Meneely as president our life at Wheaton has become enriched by the warmth of custom com- bined with the friendliness of personality, and the respect of leadership. Perhaps the following quota- tion from Shakespeare would best serve to express our gratitude and admiration: Nice customs curtsy to great kings Mauritz reads the Mary Snow Inn ee ad Ann Rowland Howard and her baby, Nancy Elizabeth Frentzel, the winner of the Esenwein Hoop Rolling and _ Elizabeth Crystal, President of the Class of 754 Mary Jo Beach leads the Seniors in their last sing bly es s Ann Adams, President of the Senior Class plants the ivy ron — | ces ceo : Patricia Keegan delivers the Class Oration The President’s Reception Miss Colpitts serves punch at the Senior Dance fa o Betsy Smith and Mr. Lawley Elizabeth Crystal, Mary Overly and Aileen Troy watch the dancing DR. A. HOWARD MENEELY Got a problem? Who hasn’t? Either Dean May or Miss Colpitts are sure to find an an- swer for your queries. We all have our own individual problems for which we certainly do not ask. But Dean May and Miss Colpitts ask for over 500 problems that are not even their own. That is the advantage of being on a small campus where Mrs. May, the Aca- demic Dean, can untangle our class conflicts and steer us towards a well-rounded program; where Miss Colpitts, the Dean of Students, can direct us toward a balance among social life, MISS COLPITTS extra-curricular activities, and academic ap- pointments. Not only do we think of Mrs. May and Miss Colpitts as advisors, but also as the owners of the warm, friendly smiles that welcome us back to Wheaton each September, and help make big problems little and little problems disappear. If you have problems big or small, The deans will help you one and all. Their thoughtful words will calm the squall Throughout the year to early fall. MRS. MAY 10 Miss ZIEGLER The introduction to Wheaton most prospective students have is through the Director of Admissions. In this capacity Miss Ziegler devotes herself. When she is not traveling, Miss Ziegler finds time to be a member of the Norton Singers, lending her voice to their productions, and occasionally is a judge in campus competitive events. She has proved, by the increasing number of applicants each year, that her sincere enthusiasm for Wheaton sells almost any- body. Faculty and students agree she has done a difficult job well in picking outstanding freshmen classes. Wheaton couldn't ask for a better intro- duction. Miss DUNKEL From the summer before her freshman year until June of senior year we all know the “Dean of Fi- nances.” As Bursar, Miss Dunkel has fulfilled an essential role in the college administration for many years. She is the pleasant and patient hand behind the unpleasant bills that so frequently appear for everything from tuition to the infirmary’s pink pills and scotch tape marks on the walls. High standard plus the understanding and friendly way Miss Dunkel transacts business makes her a welcome part of campus life. For the hard work of Miss Dunkel and her staff we award credit where credit is due. 11 Miss DEARDON As Registrar, Miss Deardon has worked patiently to solve problems of students and faculty since her return to Wheaton three years ago. With her staff, she handles conflicting classes, upsetting exam sched- ules, summer-school credits, and countless other problems. Her working hours result in the list of classes which appears in the Bookstore and on the dorm bulletin boards, and in the straightening out of our courses. To Miss Deardon and the Office of the Registrar we owe our appreciation for the standard of efficiency that is upheld in this important aspect of college administration.

They direct us, they teach us, and in so doing, they lead us. In this nautical book, they are the tillers. They are part of our Wheaton life and our tradition. We are fortunate at Wheaton that our college is so small, for we associate with our faculty not only academically but in extra-curricular activities as well. They are as familiar to us as the student body. We recognize: Mr. Dahl with his mustache — a growth of last summer . . . Miss Heuser and Miss Burlingame in their Austins . . . Mr. Deitrichson, late again, as he strolls into class with a nod and a happy “Hello!” ... Mr. Reinert — this year’s addition to our English Department...

SHARP We could go on incessantly about the little things which we associate with each member of the faculty. Each forms a part of our Wheaton life and we are proud that they are here to live with us and help us as we pass through our college life and en- ter into the “wide, wide world.” MISS JENNINGS 2 | PENNY THOMAS, MISS BUSH, MR.

C.G. A. and Honor Board From as far back as Rockywold, C.G.A., under the capable leadership of Phyllis Mason, assumed its place on campus as an instrument of student leadership. As its main policies, C.G.A. has striven not only for a stronger co- ordination of the positions under its jurisdic- tion, but also for a more effective system for the distribution of responsibility. This year C.G.A., in the process of revising its constitu- tion, enacted new legislation limiting over- nights only for freshmen and sophomores. Throughout the school year, Phyllis and her committee have endeavored to clearly define and strengthen the program for student posi- tions according to the group system. The purpose of the group system is to avoid con- centrating too much responsibility on one girl and to give other capable girls a chance for leadership. Honor Board, a judicial function of C.G.A., is a student representative body whose pur- pose this year, as in the past, has been to help each student develop a mature attitude toward self-discipline. Through the addition of loss of registration to the penalty system, a plan by which the penalty fits the crime has been substituted for campusing in certain cases. Decisions are made not only by giving consideration to the individual cases, but also by striving to maintain consistency. Above all, Honor Board’s goal has been to guide a student so that her adherence to the honor system on campus will become an integral part of her throughout life. Many thanks are due not only to Lee Dingwell for her con- scientious effort, but also to the student body who has co-operated with her in making Honor Board a meaningful organization on the Wheaton campus.

Christian Association The Christian Association is one of the most vital parts of our college life, since it points the way to an inclusive concept of Christian fellowship. C.A. is white dresses and bundles of old clothes, Thanksgiving food baskets and the starvation banquet, cider and doughnuts at Freshman Commis- sion meetings, and silent prayers at Vespers. That uncertain, scared freshman feeling is somewhat lessened by the Freshman-Junior Sister Commission. The traditional C.A. Candlelight Service and the caroling at Christmas time in the chapel give added depth and warmth to our lives. Everyone is a member of Wheaton’s Christian Association. Its various commit- tees appeal to a wide variety of interests, and help us to convert Christian ideals into realities by projects which are undertaken to help the underprivileged of the surround- ing towns by developing or strengthening religious beliefs, and by providing organ- ized activities for the young children of Norton.

The International Relations Club The International Relations Club is one of Wheaton’s most active organizations. It keeps everyone well informed on current events with out- standing speakers and bi-weekly meetings where students deal with pertinent world problems. Sally Smith, President of I.R.C., kept the ship in full-sail in the fall discussing the unification of Germany, the possible solutions for ending the Korean war, and the United States’ relations with her allies’ colonies. The discussion on the unification of Germany was of special interest because we had the op- portunity to hear first-hand information from Ruth Osterhaus, a German student. Ruth pre- sented the East German point of view and a member of I.R.C. attacked the question from the West German side. They brought out three alter- natives —a Germany allied with the Western powers, an independent Germany, or a Germany cooperating with Russia. The group decided that an independent Germany was not possible during the cold war so the German people must choose the East or West. Ruth expressed the opinion that Germany would not join Russia. Russian action in the Eastern zone, she said, has made the people fear her. I.R.C. launched their drive to raise funds for the I.R.C. scholar after Christmas vacation under the direction of Anne Pentland, Scholarship Chair- man. Everyone enjoyed the starvation dinner — not the dinner, but the varied costumes and antics of the faculty. All Wheaton waited eagerly in the spring to see who would win the Marty’s meal ticket on which chances were sold to collect money for the scholarship fund. The drive was a great success and some lucky girl will be able to spend the summer abroad. I.R.C. is a valuable part of Wheaton’s extra- curricular life and this year it did an outstanding job. It helps us to think constructively about world affairs and understand their implications. I.R.C. keeps Wheaton awake! ae : Ld VST bod 0 With the odor of grease paint in the air and the busy clamor of crews hard at work, D. A. launched the 1952-53 season in November and carried us to an Oriental scene with its production of The Yellow Jacket, a fantasy in the Chinese spirit and style. Miss Patricia Gardner, D.A. Advisor, Mr. Alfred Burr During the second semester Noel Coward’s Blithe Spirit was the major undertaking of the group, and D. A.’s technical assistance helped to make Dance Concert, the Triton show, and Vodvil successful. Hats off to the D. A. skipper, Noelle Shaver; to the second-in-command, Jean Bowden, who managed Theater Guild tickets and transportation; to sec- retary Laura Ives; and to Harriet Chimacoff, who kept the budget on an even keel. Harriet Chimacoff, Treasurer; Laura Ives, Secretary; Noelle Shaver, President; Jean Bowden, Vice-President. 24 With Nancy Esenwein at the helm, aided by Miss Christine White, Miss Barry, Miss Moodis- paw, Miss Jacobs, and Miss Wagner as physical education advisors, the 1952-1953 A.A. board had a_ successful year filled with new ideas and fun for everyone. As right-hand men, Es had Dutch Ricker, who, as vice-president, was editor of “Time-Out,” a supplement of News, Grace Carter, secretary, and Penny Burley, treasurer. Sparking enthusiasm in_ their classes were representatives Tec- kie Fitzpatric, ‘55, Amy Thomas, 54, and Anne Pentland, 758, who, with Ty Tyler, organized a successful Founders’ Day af- ternoon filled with A.A. activities for parent and student partici- pants as well as many spectators. Encouraging and organizing ‘in- ter-dorm activities was Gita Churchill, who was in a daze from counting points from bowl- ing, ping-pong, K.K.K., volley ball, the snow statue contest, and the Twilight Baseball League for the Inter-dorm Cup, while Sally Moore, as Hostess, counted oranges and pennies.

With the Fall Sports Meeting, A.A. activities got underway. Joan Duffy chose class hockey teams and Gerry Heller started planning a tennis tournament, while Ty Tyler was busy with an Interclass Archery contest. When hockey season was over, Jane Fisher’s swimming meets provided excitement. All this time, the Riding Team prac- ticed daily, and were rewarded for their work when they won the Drill Team Cup in November. Hockey sticks away, and winter season was here. Basketball, headed by Mary Hough, meant hard- fought interclass games. Swimming, basketball, and badminton provided more interclass compe- tition. Then spring came, and Sybil Coe with the rest of the Tritons and Tritonettes were busy per- fecting their “Manhattan Moods.” Barb Leader’s Dance Group and the Country Dance Group pre- sented a recital which showed perfection of form that comes only after exhaustive work and rehears- ing. When warm weather came, Nancy Ritter and the class golf teams polished their irons and dreamed of a hole-in-one. Another year with A.A. —a big activity with a big heart that makes for even bigger smiles.

Under the leadership of P.K., Editor-in-Chief; Joan Hills, Associate Editor; Sandy Murray, As- sistant Editor; and the staff, News brings you a review of the current academic, social, political and religious events, News is an open door, through which we be- come aware of the problems confronting Wheaton. Remember the controversy last fall over the im- provement of the 101 courses? News enlightened us to faculty opinions and student ideas, and brought about a clearer understanding between both parties. News is an organization of representative stu- dent opinion in all phases of campus life. Marcia Daly’s Political Ramblings brought us full cover- age of the election in 1952. On the humorous 30 side, we find the Cream of Wheaton — little notes and ditties of campus life. The Exchange Basket relates the current interests at other colleges and the Editorial Column expounds the opinions of the college. We saw in News this year, a new make-up, more pictures and different headline type. It is these little but significant improvements that allow us to point with pride to our newspaper. It is not the work of one individual but of many; Izzie Van Deusen, supervisor of headlines; Carol Nes- son, advertising editor; and Jane Fisher, circula- tion manager. By Tuesday night, the Log Book is closed and the anchor hauled up for another voyage of News highlights. Bacon once said in his Essay, Of Studies, that “some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested.” Perhaps one might appropriately apply this quotation to our Niké. As each page in this year book is read and re-read, “chewed and digested,” a pleasant taste will remain in the minds of those who fondly recall and relive their memorable years spent at Wheaton. The Niké staff has cooked up what they hope will be a truly delicious and delectable book. May it heartily appeal to your appetite and favorably agree with your digestion!

In December, a closed meeting was held at the home of Mr. Ramseyer and the group sang and discussed various movements of “The Messiah.” From movies to singing, President Deanie Dub- belde and her group sail over the wages of 1952- 1958, and reach their destination in the Student Recital which is given in April.

Everything from the sublime (They Say) to the ridiculous (Animal Fair.) Their unusual arrangements are the product of Izzie Levy’s long hours of work. Under the able leadership of Lucy Roes- sler, the Whims have appeared not only at Wheaton but also at surrounding colleges. Their many invitations to Brown and Har- vard have enhanced their popularity outside of the campus and we are proud to claim them as our own. Harmony! Harmony! from the lovely ladies of the Wheatones. At a dance, fraternity party, club, and on the radio, the Wheatones are enjoyed by all. With Barbie Gunnarson leading, they took double honors Junior Prom weekend at the symposium and during intermission, where their songs were apropos of the weekend theme, “Out of This World.” The Whea- tones are one of the keystones of Wheaton song with a vivaciousness that makes them a favorite. nmZordroamt=e Psyche Psyche not only has the distinc- tion of being the oldest society on the Wheaton campus but it also has the honor of being founded by a person familiar to all of us. In 1857 Lucy Larcom established the society which is named Psyche — repre- senting the soul, the spirit, and the mind. The aim of Psyche is to foster literary interest and appreciation and to acquaint the members with the latest happenings in the world of literature through various speak- ers and discussions. In order to become a member of Psyche, nine hours of literature must have been completed. These hours are rewarded by satisfying experi- ences and participation. The highlight of the fall semester was Mr. Gray Burr's reading of his poetry accompanied by enlightening comments and discussions. It is through gatherings such as this that the spirit of Psyche has become such an integral part of our Wheaton life. Rosemary Keating, Vice-President; Mary Mauritz, President; Barbara Whitehead, Secretary; Paula DiGrazia, Treasurer. Psychology Club Members of the Psychology Club this year had a wide scope of activi-- ties which ranged from guest speak- ers to a Freudian Party to which the members of the club went as any complex from inferiority to superior- ity. President Rosemary Keating, with Connie Corey as Vice-Presi- dent, Sue Leo as Secretary and Nancy Redway as Treasurer, planned the various meetings. In first se- mester the club heard a talk by Dr. Leonard W. Ferguson of Aetna Life Insurance who spoke on “Industrial Seeteeee e Psychology.” A closed meeting fea- veseeeee ' tured Miss Consavage and Miss 2 ; Amen who spoke on “Child Psy- chology.” Second semester was high- lighted by a talk given by Dr. Gordon W. Allport, a noted psychol- ogist from Harvard, who spoke on the “Psychology of Religion.” Suzanne Leo, Secretary; Rosemary Keating, Presi- dent; Constance Corey, Vice-President; Nancy Red- way, Treasurer. German Club During the year the members of the German Club have learned a great deal about Germany and her customs. In the fall, Mrs. Korsch spoke of recent events in Germany; Ruth Osterhaus spoke on German youth movements; and Mr. Durst showed colored slides taken in Germany last sum- mer. At the Christmas party the girls sang German carols and a Weihmachtsmann gave presents while they ate German food. Other German Club activities in- clude collecting and sending old clothes to Germany, the German table, and conversation hour at Mrs. Korsch’s every week. President.

Its purpose is to further understanding between these two countries and the United States by learning their customs and traditions. One of the major functions was the Christmas party. Another event of the year was the Mardi Gras in February. The Romance Languages Club en- joyed a very successful year under the direction of Miss Mandell. ¥ 5 a FR Ee vi tid BBS Rosaline Ray, Delegate; Lilias Morehouse, Al]- ternate. INES sAt Science Club Potential Madame Curies, as members of the Science Club, met six times this year to dis- cuss and learn about varied topics of current scientific interest. Under the leadership of President Pepper Bryant and Secretary-Treas- urer Jean Bowden, the club studied problems concerned with different topics of contemporary science. Some of the meetings were open to all students in order to introduce them to some of the new horizons in science. These meetings included talks by Dr. William Clench of Har- vard who is an authority on mollusks; Leida Klaar, who spoke on her summer at the Jackson Laboratories in Bar Harbor, Maine; and Dr. Dorothy Bliss, who presented a talk on “Hor- mones in the Land Crab, the information for which came from her studies of crabs in Ber- muda. In the spring, the mollusks crawl into their shells and H2CO3 becomes a forgotten formula while the club plans its annual picnic. Lec- tures, picnics, coffee, and slides combine to make the club’s year a happy voyage. Mary Bryant, President; Jean Bowden, Secre- tary-Treasurer. 36 The National Student Association sailed smoothly this year with Ros Ray and Lil More- house at the helm. The objective of N.S.A. was to work in cooperation with other campus organizations to arouse interest in affairs outside their realms. — N.S.A. vs. apathy! Ros started N.S.A. this year by attending the N.S.A. conference in Indiana where she discussed student problems with representatives from different colleges. In the fall, N.S.A. brought the election fever from the local whistle stops to Wheaton by sponsoring a politi- cal rally with I.R.C. One of the major activities of N.S.A. in New England during the year has been the direction of the second New England All College Con- ference. The majority of the ninety colleges in the area cooperated in this conference, “An Evaluation of the Arts,” which emphasized ob- stacles of contemporary artists. Through such programs, N.S.A. has instigated more active student thought on current economic, cultural, and political problems. Art Club During the fall, the Art Club heard two interesting lectures. The sculpture and the historical development of art. first was on The second was a lecture on Oriental Landscapes by Miss Maginnis, who brought with her many Japanese and Chinese prints. In February at a joint meeting with Psyche and the Music Club there was a panel discussion by members of the faculty on the modern trends in art, music, literature, and philosophy. At the next meeting, Roberta Green gave a talk about her fan collection which in- cludes examples from many countries and from different periods. At the last meet- ing a movie was shown. Several new prints were added this year to the rapidly growing Shippee Loan Collection. Joy Smith, President Amy Thomas, Secretary-Treasurer Nancy Shanahan, Secretary-Treasurer; Nancy Tisdale, President. 37 Lee Metcalfe Social Chairman Classics Club The Classics Club, captained by Nancy Tisdale, and manned by fifteen members, centers its interest around the life of the ancient Greeks and Romans. In their study of these clas- sic civilizations, the members hear lectures on archaeology, literature, and customs of Greece and Rome, and the influence of their culture on modern life. This year, Mr. Dahl gave a talk on “Antiquity of the Modern,” which was based on his studies in Italy. Even social activities of the Classics Club steer towards the customs of ancient times. In December, at the annual Christmas banquet, all the members were dressed in Roman to- gas, and the food was served in the Roman manner. The co-operation which is necessary for maintaining an active club was shown in the planning of this banquet, and the interests of the club is evidenced by their varied programs. Through the college literary magazine, Rush- light, Wheaton students are admitted into the world of fact and fantasy. This magazine is put out by the students themselves and it provides a means for those who are interested in creative writing to have their stories, poems, and essays published. This year, Rushlight is headed by Carol Wey- muller, with Barbara Whitehead as her assistant. The staff is composed of girls selected from the three upper classes because of their interest and participation in creative writing. This staff criti- cizes the various contributions and selects ma- terial whch is interesting and entertaining to all types of readers. The articles range from high-brow literary criti- cism to down-to-earth comedy and humor. The magazine is published three or four times a year, depending upon the amount of material sub- mitted. In past years there has been a cash prize eo ec meet bel eer Cp rent ey Caroline Weymuller, Editor; Barbara Whitehead, Mar- -ta Silver, Merna Colpitts, Jean Miller, Polly Griffen, wa Joy Smith, Margaret Churchill, Priscilla King, Barbi Cole. offered for the best contribution of the year. This extra incentive is sometimes what is needed for a girl to attempt creative writing but the prize is mostly a gesture of appreciation for the submis- sion of an outstanding article. This year, Rushlight experimented in a new field of literature. They put out an issue devoted entirely to humor which is sure to rival the Record and the Lampoon in wit and jollity. This feature issue is something out of the ordinary in Rushlight tradition and who knows —it might start a new trend in the literary thought of the Wheaton community. Each issue of Rushlight is anticipated by both the students and the faculty, not only for its lively and enjoyable content but also because it reflects the thoughts, aspirations, and ideas of Wheaton, and, in so doing, it reflects the ideals of the younger generation of America. Here’s to Rush- light, a magazine worth reading. 38 Phi Beta Kappa RY GOUT Marie WINIFRED MCCARTHY Marcia CAROLINE DALY SANDRA MariE MuRRAY 39 Just as the spelling of the word Vodvil is a satire on the original — vaudeville, so is the show itself a satire on some one phase of Wheaton life. For the first time in Vodvil’s history, the theme for 53 was Wheaton stu- dents “as others see us.” Although it was specifically a parody on Wheaton in Norton, it could very well have been a satire on any college in the eastern part of the country. The entire production was, as usual, writ- ten, directed, and produced by students from all classes. Work started early in the fall and continued through until the finished product was ready for performance on the first week- end in March. The head of Vodvil is always the Chairman of Entertainment, who this year was Kay Haga- dorn ‘53. The girls on her committee were: Mary Mauritz 53, Carol Weymuller ’53, Claire Pollock °53, Sally Clark °53, Mary Jo Beach °53, and Betsy Gellman ’54. In addition to this group .there were two choreographers who were Katherine Uihlein 53 and Barbara Hoyt DS. Special credit goes to Marcia Daly °53 for her unusual scenery designs which were highly imaginative and in the abstract. Of particular merit was a clever pair of eyes, which empha- sized the theme of the show. Vodvil is always fun, but this year’s show was especially enjoyable. It was a pleasant change to see ourselves as others see us and to be able to laugh about it.

We thought we would never get to know every- one, learn where all the different classrooms were, and just plain get accustomed to the daily rou- tine. Much to our amazement, aa | making so many new adjust- Betsy Aldrich, President; DeRosette Hendricks, Song Leader; Christine 8 Bier: ir: J : Polk, Secretary; Mercy Haskell, Vice-President; Sandra Gaston, Treas- ments didn’t take long, and in hed less than a week, we felt right at home. Before we knew it, initiations had begun, and we found ourselves industriously making “name tags.” It wasn't hard for the upperclassmen to distinguish us that week! Then the night finally came when we were relieved of our conspicuous burdens, and we threw them into a huge bonfire. This was followed by the preparations for skit night and the choosing of song leaders to represent each dorm. We all made up an original song and competed for the class song leader. Rehearsing our songs and skits we began to know the freshmen in our dorms much better. Our Sophomore and Junior Sisters gave us parties and picnics to tell us about the different phases of college life. By the time we had been at Wheaton for three weeks, we had been told about everything and anything — from how to study for History 101 to what to wear on a college weekend. They told us about Brown, and our first meeting with Brown men was a dance that ful- filled all our expectations. After that came the Soph Hop, the Christmas Dance, and then May Day. If only every weekend could be like those! Still, our work had to go on. There were term papers, unforgettable Biology papers, and much more. We found out how we were doing when mid-semester marks came out. Before we knew it, Freshmen light-cuts were over and Thanks- giving vacation had come and gone. Then we were caught up in the whirl of Christmas activities and finally the Christmas Banquet. The next morning there were heavy suitcases and lost bus tickets, goodbyes and cross-campus screams of “Have a good vacation!” And so, much more tired than ever before, but much happier than ever before, we headed home for Christmas vacation. We returned to college wondering how we would ever get through our mid-year exams. 56 How could we possibly know enough in one sub- ject to write for three hours? Like everyone else, we almost died a hundred times, but some- how we managed to survive. When we came back from mid-semesters, the first problem to face us was that of rooming for sophomore year. All the troubles and tears eventually turned into smiles as each problem was solved. Our first year was coming to an end, and al- though we were busy preparing for exams, we still took time to look back on all the good times we had had during the year and we contemplated the new experiences which lay ahead. By recall- ing all you’ve done this year, the spirit you’ve had, the cooperation you've shown, and the unity you ve had, it is evident that we have three more perfect years ahead of us. Thank you all — Sincerely, Betsy ALDRICH 57 CORE PELL OEE IE IONE AOE NOTE EI SE LO ROE HR OO I OR Class of 1955 Our year began with an in- novation . . . contrary to the tradition, there was no freshman. “hazing” as it had previously been known. Something new had been added, not only were the Frosh wearing their tradi- tional signs, but the upper- classmen that first morning o n “Hell Week” appeared with name cards in their class colors. Certainly the freshmen would se like to get acquainted too! A Nancy Rockefeller, Secretary; Lelia Wardwell, Song Leader; Jane 8 q Walker, President; Priscilla King, Vice-President; Patricia Frink, class vote resulted in what we anes felt to be a more mature initia- tion in a more friendly spirit. On the last night of signwearing, the Sophomores secretly assembled in the Dimple with flashlights; the surprised Freshmen were then serenaded with the proverbial, “Come out wherever you are,” and a long trek through the college woods to the archery field followed. With a warm feeling inside and out, we grouped around the bonfire and sang as the freshmen threw their signs into the blaze. The new type of Freshman Week ended with a cider and doughnuts party in the Cage, enlivened by some extremely . . . impromptu entertainment. It wasn’t until that fall morning when we heard the Seniors announce their officers that we realized our sister class would be graduating in June. A little off-key, we sang to them as they marched capped and gowned and very stately into chapel. November brought our Cinderella Ball, the first formal dance of the year. Silhouettes from episodes from the story, and pumpkin coaches transformed Plimpton Hall into the palace of the Prince. Due to the efforts of well-coordinated, hard-working committees the dance was successful both socially and financially. “Hail to Brittania” and improvised Mummers’ costumes set the tone for December and the Christmas spirit. The dancing, caroling, and Mummers’ Play were given at the Employees’ Party and at the traditional Christmas Banquet. Jesters on roller skates . . . faculty take-offs.. . trying to “te-upm-te-iddly-ump” without knocking trays off consoles . . . “Methinks there’s been deviltry afoot this past night” . . . without a doubt — “These are good times.” Spring found the Sophomores in a whirl of activities which seemed to strengthen our feeling 60 of belonging. We were now sporting our newly- acquired Wheaton rings which we received at the now annual Senior-Sophomore Banquet. On the first chapel morning in May we arose at daybreak, and sleepy-eyed left corsages dan- gling on our Senior sister's doorknobs. In a flurry of excitement and pride we watched our class- mates march to the Dimple and saw one crowned Queen of the May. This was our year to stay for graduation. We served at the President’s Reception, the Senior Ball, and at the graduation exercises. At dawn we were picking daisies and at midnight we were watering the chain. Our small part in graduation enabled us to share with our Senior sisters their special day. Although we began with an innovation, we ended the year with a traditional feeling — that feeling of worldliness attached with being “almost-but-not-quite” upper-classmen. 61 Class of 1954. The Junior Class hit the deck on September 19th with a jolly crew of one hundred and four- teen ready for duty. Our first assignment was to square away the freshmen recruits and teach them the ropes. They learned quickly and we were proud of our sister class the night we sere- naded their officers. The Bacon- Bat was planned in the form of a progressive dinner, but due to rough weather the food was served in the cage. The wet Nancy King, Secretary; Peggy Crystal, President; Ann Biester, Vice- weather failed to dampen our President; Sarah Moore, Treasurer; Barbara McAloon, Song Leader. spirits and we all had a wonder- ful time eating, singing, and playing games. We set our sights on the inter-class cup and with enthusiasm entered the Marathon. AI- though we fell short of the mark on the water, on land we did admirably in all fields aided by the Big Red Cheering squad. In addition, a member of our class again won the All College Tennis Championship and we were very proud. In February it was all ashore for a week-end that was to be “Out of this World.” In keeping with the Valentine tradition, Friday night skits satirized courtship through the ages. They de- picted scenes from the caveman era, to Sherwood Forest, to Elizabethan drama, then on to Colonial days, and lastly a typical fraternity blast. A grand finale starring the entire cast decided that “Love Will Last Always.” Clever songs and original dances brought raves from severest critics round the campus. Our programs describing the week-end’s activities caused a sensation and were a welcome innovation to the campus. Saturday afternoon we welcomed songsters from Amherst, Colgate, Pembroke, Trinity, and Yale who joined in with the Whims and Wheatones and set the stage for a heavenly evening. A varied repertoire entertained girls and their dates for most of the afternoon. At the Prom, dancing under the stars climaxed the week-end. The Junior Prom proved to be the highlight of our year. Our social success was such that on Founder's Day weekend “Hits and Bits” from our Junior skits was added to the long agenda of entertainment. As spring progressed our senior year loomed ahead of us. After the all-college elections various members of our class took over the leadership of the different organizations on campus. The senior class had retired in anticipation of generals and we juniors took the helm. Realizing that in the year ahead we would need a more closely knit relationship between the faculty and the senior student, we gave a Junior-Faculty coffee. Spring fever was in bloom when the 64 “frolicking” Juniors paraded down Howard Street in appropriate attire in anticipation of the coming Coronation festivities in Great Britian. The Duke of Edinburgh proved to be as handsome as reported and the pomp and ceremony was as spectacular as forecasted. The demonstration was followed by a picnic in the Cage given by our sister class, all of which constituted a fitting climax to our last fling before we assumed the role of Stately Seniors. In June we accepted the spade and the coveted library steps from the class of ’53 and by so doing assumed command of the senior ship. A vote of thanks goes to the Class of ‘54 who with their cooperation made this year smooth sailing. My “Crystal” ball showed that Junior year was perfect, but there are bigger and better days ahead!

Class of 1953 September saw us returning as the largest class of “stately seniors” in Wheaton’s history. It was the top of the ladder we'd been looking forward to for so long and we were immediately caught in the traditions, activi- ties, and responsibilities of our final year. We all kept asking ourselves if we were really “stately” as we marched into Chapel with choking stocks, tas- sels flying, and robes swinging to JUNIOR FROLIC announce our class officers on the first Wednesday morning. A picnic with our sophomore sis- ters, an informal meeting with Miss Colpitts, and our first step sing completed OUR Senior Day. As the semester wore on, we found ourselves walking in the front door of Chapel, leaving Chapel after the faculty, sitting on the library steps, being formal seating hostesses, and balancing our mortar boards still with big smiles, but with more ease as the traditions became a part of the class. In keeping with the holiday spirit on campus and the traditions of the Christmas Banquet, we participated in some of the senior class’s and Wheaton’s most cherished traditions. Singing by candlelight, we wound through Norton to serenade the Wheaton community. Who will forget the Dahls’ good hot cider at midnight, Miss Colpitts’ peppermint candy canes, or warming cold hands and feet in front of the Game Room fire while enjoying hot cocoa and doughnuts? After the banquet, we presented our Nativity Scene before hearing Dr. Meneely’s last Christmas story. At the start of second semester, the rest of us joined seminars that would help us to correlate four years of work in our major fields and to prepare us for our generals. We gave our rings to our sophomore sisters to wear before the Ring Banquet in March. Midwinter also found us eagerly anticipating our many spring activities. There were many class meetings to choose the members of the May Court and the various chairmen for our houseparty and commencement. We checked endless lists for graduation announcements, invitations, name cards, or for diploma information. Many of us were planning for next year whether it was a wedding, graduate work, travel, or a job. Only too soon spring arrived and with it the last rush of our Wheaton life. We joined our sophomore sisters to plant our class tree as a living memorial to the class of 1953. The first of May we looked very festive as we took our places in Chapel wearing our little sister’s May cor- 72 sage on our caps. Brushing sleep out of our eyes May Day morning, a senior army descended on the library steps to make them sparkle in honor of the May Queen and her Court. Soon afterward, having conquered our generals and final exams, we left Wheaton to the sopho- mores and moved to the Cape for our traditional houseparty. Returning Friday, we had our final rehearsals and completed preparations for our long-awaited commencement. Our parents joined us in time to see us dash madly, with gowns flying and caps securely tied, from the library steps, across the Dimple, to Hebe. Whose hoop would reach Hebe first and who would be our first bride? Saturday afternoon at Class Day we looked back over our four years here at Wheaton, sorrowfully passed the spade and library steps to the incoming seniors. Then, the next morning, for the last time, the seniors sat in Chapel as undergraduates. We would soon be leaving Wheaton, but would be taking with us the irre- placeable memories, friendships, and knowledge of our four years in the Wheaton community. 73 Class Officers FRANCES WELLINGTON SHERWOOD TOWSON MARYLAND Art Wheaton’s contribution to the “snow bums.” NANCY ANN ADAMS BETHLEHEM PENNSYLVANIA Biology She rides a cockhorse to Banberry Cross. 74 ELIZABETH VERA FRENTZEL MILWAUKEE WISCONSIN Art The next Christian Dior.
