WHEELOCK 63 The Wheelock Guild . Our 'guild meetings offer us the privilege of gathering together as a school, rather than as a junior of Senior class. We welcome every opportunity which enables the two classes to become better acquainted with each other, for by so doing, we are not only widening the scope of our friendships, but through common interests and ex- perience, we are united in one big family. In the beginning of the year, we decided that our guild should have certain definite objectives, just as did the fighting armies,,and we took as our aims these things-first, self expression in the ac- tivities which mosft appeal to us by means of memberships in the sub-guilds, second, opportunities for worth-while fun, third, the forming of true friendships that will stand the test of time, and lastly, the establishing of a feeling of unity between the two classes by means of our common interests. What a vital part of our lives our friendships made at Wheelock have become! And when we stop to consider it what a wonderful thing friendship is! Our friends see the best in us, and for that very reason they call forth the best from us. Ambitions and capacities which may be slumbering within us are awakened under the warm sunshine of friendships. If our guild can only help us to form new friendships here which we might otherwise have missed, it will have served a great purpose. The motto ofthe Wheelock Guild is 'fthe blessedness of together- ness. We want to be united by the bonds of friendships in order that we may be capable of being and doing what singly we might fail in. Each girl gives to the other, each receives, and the result is a greater thing than anyone of us possesses in herself. It is our hope that the Guild has helped to make these things possible, and to its members in the years to come, we would like to pass.on our ideal as expressed in this quotation from Dean Rous- maniere- fcLet us be united in the brotherhood like a camp or a battleship, and then, perchance, we shall gain our objectives by the strength of the whole.

Dear Nlrs. Weiss, where Would we be If you, perch-ance, should forget our meals three? Gr,-horror of horrors!-some oversight Should cause you to forget the crackers at night? ' Hungry, cross, and so helpless, too Where would we be if it were not for you. And when we are ill and homesick, maybe, Who is it that comes to our rooms us to see? Who, but you, with your words of cheer Banishing all doubts and vistage of fear. And then when we would home-ward speed Who is it that fulfills our great need- Has trunks delivered and-calls the trunk man, And sees that each trunk is placed on the van? You, lVlrs. Weiss, you are the one, ' W'ho cares for us all and adds to our fun, A Nlaking our life at Wheelock so cheery No matter how tired you are or how weary., So that is why we all greet you and say- 'clVheelock girls thank you and love you always. iANN1NE MUELLER
