LEGENDA '41 FACULTY ADVISERS MABEL AUSTIN MARION G. BEDELL LOUISE RAFFERTY ROSE CAMASSAR CATHERINE MCEVVEN EDITOR LEAH MEYER 1sUs1NEss MANAGER RUTH STROUT THE 1941 LEGENDA WILLIAMS MEMORIAL INSTITUTE NEW LONDON, CONNECTICUT F OREWORD .... THE year 1941 will long be remembered by all students who have studied at W. M. I., for this year is our school's fiftieth birthday. Time has wrought many changes in school-girl customs and' styles, the years have seen the gradual enlargement of the student body and the campus. Many of us do not remember when W. M. I. had but one building-VVilliams Hall, and it is a long time since W. M. I. first opened its doors to young ladies, offering them an opportunity to gain more knowledge. Fifty years may have changed the appearance of our school but its spirit is still the same. In this Golden Jubilee edition of the LEGENDA, we hope to present to you a brief but complete picture of W. M. I. student life. Long shall we remember pre-test agony, the suspense and anticipation of receiving report cards, the pride felt in having won departmental or athletic honors, our favorite friends and teachers. The carefree spirit of high school days can never be recaptured later in life. Leaving high school to make one's mark on the page of time has such a Hnality about it. But graduation is also the beginning of things for us. No longer will there be anyone to tell us what and how to study. There will be no one to sort out the good from bad and confront us with the good. We shall be obliged to do our own thinking and sorting and to look after ourselves. But having attended high school, we shall be better equipped to do all these things. We are justly proud of our principal, Mr. Burtt, and our faculty, not only for their fine instruction but also for their splendid cooperation in allowing us to have a part in governing the school. Under the guidance of faculty members, the management of school affairs runs smoothly in student hands. The school paper, The Descant, is our means of keeping abreast with the activities constantly occurring in and around the school, and is monthly antic- ipated by the student body. Fortunate we are to have such an excellent opportunity to display and develop musical talents as is offered by our musical organizations-the choir, glee club, band and orchestra. W. M. I. is proud of its many organizations, including language, science, history, mathematics and athletic clubs. Like all Senior classes, we, too, have our class beauty, wit, scholar, baby, dancer and so forth. Our Superlativcs are the popular choice and afford an interesting cross-sectional view of the characteristics that make a school class. Of course, we could not leave YN. M. I. without bestowing our special favor and possessions on others and we hope those so favored will cherish the inheritance left them. Wfe shall take with us the memory of many happy hours spent in study and play. I AS YE WE T BY 4556 2 55 if Tw bm DEDICATIO . . . The Class of Nineteen Hundred and Forty-One dedicates this Book to YNILLIAM H. REEVES President of the Board of Trustees of THE XAIILLIAMS MEMORIAL INSTITUTE in appreciative recognition of the gracious dignity, the marked ability, and the thoughtful devotion with which he has carried on the duties of his trusteeship. Throughout the years in which he has acted as trustee in the administration of the school and in the management of its financial affairs, Mr. Reeves has fostered the ideals which inspired Mrs. Harriet Peck Mfilliams to establish The VVilliams Memorial Institute. The Class of Nineteen Hundred and Forty-One expresses its deep gratitude to The Williams Memorial Institute and to Mr. Reeves for his loyal service to the school. To him it conveys its wishes for many more years of happy affiliation. WE HO OR .... Miss MADELEINE FREEMAN 1894-1941 The Class of 1941 congratulates Miss MADELEINE FREEMAN on the occasion of her retirement from the teaching profession for the distinction with which she has fuliilled her duties and honors her for the noble influence she has exerted on the life of The VVilliams Memorial Institute through the spirit of liberality she has instilled into the minds and hearts of its students. THE PEOPLE MESSAGE TO THE SENIGR CLASS YOU will be graduated from high school this June in company with a mil- lion and a half other young people all over the country. You have received twelve years of free public school educa- tion, paid for by the citizens of this and other communities. Free elementary and secondary education have become the ac- cepted thing for nearly every boy and girl because the community feels that this is the best way to train its youth for future citizenship. In no other way can the expenditure of more than two bil- lions of dollars annually for education throughout the country be justified. You come to the day of graduation at a critical point in the history of the world. To neglect your obligation to make a return on the money invested in your education would be unworthy of you at any period in our history, at this juncture, such neglect might be vitally serious. How then, can you make the best use of this training which you have received, so that your contribution to the welfare of the community will be constructive? One answer was given by one of your own age four years ago. It was Read and think and talk. To this I should like to add Act.', You need to do much reading, trying to obtain all possible information on all fiol sides of current questions. You must do much thinking about matters of im- portance, attempting to form your own opinion regarding the issues involved, rather than accepting without question the views of others. You ought to carry on much discussion of these matters with others, and in the spirit of tolerance, realizing that people have the right to differ honestly with you. Finally, you must not be content with passive citizen- ship. You must actively support all movements that have for their aim the good of your fellow men. And when you become of age chronologically, as you will within a few years, you must also become Hof age civically. You must become active members of the civic community. W. M. I. has tried to give you this point of view, both through classroom discussions in many subjects, and also through the democratic form of school government which is in operation here. Your achievements during the next gen- eration will show how well the school has succeeded. Our best wishes go with you as you leave our doors. Please re- gard yourselves always as members of our school family, absent at times, but always privileged to return home. Sincerely yours, JEROME BURTT.

Her high ideals and intelligent guidance, wide experience and culture made her an invaluable director of the activities of her depart- ment. Her high standards of scholarship were a constant inspiration to her stu- dents. The girls who have had the privilege of being in her classes have appreciated more and more as the years l E431 passed the value of her high ideals of personal conduct. She gave unsellishly of her time and sound advice and took a warm personal interest in all that per- tained to her students and their futures. Miss Austin was a woman of sterling character, wide culture and experience. Years devoted to varied reading, study and travel gave added weight to the value of her opinions which were an unfailing inspiration to those associated with her. Miss Austin rendered long and faithful service to the school that she loved, striving at all times to uphold its fine traditions. UNIOR CLASS IN the fall of 1938 a characteristic class of freshmen assembled on the school premises to elect standard-bearers for their debut in high school. They honored Barbara Cranker with the office of president, selected Eleanor Beitzel as vice-president, Claire Sullivan as secre- tary, Ruth Slater as treasurer, Janice Monroe as representative to the Honor Court, and Barbara Thompson as repre- sentative to the Better Yet Club Council. These, then, were the timid, meek young buds who were to blossom forth, both mentally and physically, in ensuing years into flowerets now known as the Class of '42. In 1939, with Janice Monroe as presi- dent, Eleanor Beitzel as vice-president, Alice Dennison as secretary, Barbara Thompson as treasurer, and Mildred Robbins as Honor Court representative, 41 they passed another eventful year within the walls of their dear Alma Mater. Today they are a class of accomplished young ladies. Beauty and genius in har1nony blend in their ranks, for who could surpass the golden loveliness of Lucy Liljenstein, or the endearing sweet- ness of Marie Roche, or who could excel the versatility of Barbara Thompson who has won fame as a student of the first rank, as a talented singer, and as a Finished musician? Statuesque Helen Floyd, who we think typiiies the ideal American girl, has captured honors in the field of journalism with her expert work as school reporter. Charming little Clara Bruce, a veritable mistress of the key- board, has also invaded the Held of music, while Doris Ann Sherman's ability as an artist remains unchallenged. Janice Monroe, just as pert as ever, upholds the class in the gymnasium, as does also modest Sophie Mikiska in the classroom, whilst petite and vivacious Marjorie Maclnnes swings out for old '42 on the dance floor. To this bevy of marvelous maidens, we might add many more, for the garden of '42 is truly a choice one. What wonder if, with such exponents of wit and wisdom as sponsors, the undertakings of this class were highly successful? The junior-Freshman tea was an enjoyable affair, the junior Prom a scintillating soiree, while various organ- izations of the school have benefited from the services of these juniors. Ah, but next year will bring the flowers! May they be the fairest W. M. I. has yet nourished and brought into bloom! During their first eventful year these young buds surprised everyone by de- l4 feating the haughty Sophomores in two field ball games and one soccer game. They entered into other school activities with equal pleasure although generally with less success. They also contributed to the school a short movie of Admiral Byrd, and a Popeye Comedy. Mary Francis honored her Class in her sophomore year by participating in the semi-finals of the annual tennis tourna- ment. The Class defeated the Freshmen in three basketball games. The Sopho- mores entertained the school with the movie Alexander Graham Bell. This year the juniors have shown their prowess in sports by excelling in the intramural ball games. Only the Sopho- mores have a greater number of points for the year. The juniors' movie, Robin Hood, was received enthusiastically by the school. Their record socially, scholas- tically, and athletically is one of which any class might be proud. This year their banner has gone onward and up- ward, thanks to the leadership and guidance of those gifted debutantes Josephine Spinnato-president, Hinsley BTidgeman-vice-president, Helen Aitner -secretary, and Barbara Connor-treas- urer. It is truly fortunate that the Class of 1942 has so well upheld its honor and the honor of the school, for this year, as the junior class, it has a profound in- fluence on the school such as no other class can exert. The Senior Class is con- stantly occupied with its approaching graduation, and of course, the Sopho- mores and Freshmen are younger and have not had so much of a chance as the juniors and Seniors to make themselves known. It is the juniors, then, who set the pattern for the whole school, and spur the other classes on to greater efforts. The members of the Class of '42 have a great responsibility! OPHO ORE CLASS IN September, 1939, as a frightened group of freshmen, we entered W. M. I. to commence our secondary school educa- tion. Our emotions on that most memorable day might be analyzed thus: 5l9'Q fright-a not unpleasurable fright that made us quake and giggle, 48W curiosity, and lap desire to be educated. It is to be hoped that the latter figure increased somewhat in most of us as the school year progressed, certainly we lost all our fear and began to enjoy ourselves immensely. Perhaps our new self-confidence dated from the junior tea when we were fed and entertained by our kindly junior sisters. We elected jean Hislop as presi- dent, Marianna Mondelci as vice-presi- dent, Alice Suttie as secretary, and Geraldine Carlin as treasurer. With our government in such safe hands, most of M61 us turned our thoughts to the school activities. Many clubs and dances were barred to the humble Freshmen, but some were open to us. Many of us joined the Freshman History Club, others the Gen- eral Science Club. A large number of girls became members of the musical organizations-the band, glee club, choir, and orchestra. We enjoyed those dances which were open to Freshmen. VVe also went in for sports, participating en- thusiastically in the intra-mural basket- ball games. Several girls entered the tennis tournament in the fall and Alice Suttie upheld the honor of the Class by being in the semi-hnals. At first we were very much confused by our varying schedules. Not a few of us attended the wrong class once or twice before the school year was well under way. The formal gym classes, what with gym suits, large classes, and games such as fieldball and basketball, seemed very different to us from the grade school physical education which consisted most- ly of hit pin baseball. Latin was also a new experience to us. Indeed all of our subjects seemed unfamiliar. We completed our busy Freshman year and after a prolonged and much needed vacation we returned to school in 1940. Many clubs that had frowned on us as freshmen received us with open arms as sophomores. We have some new sub- jects and those which we are continuing are harder, but we feel more confident this year than we did before. After all we are becoming familiar with the routine. We enter classes feeling that we know what they are all about. We feel more assurance about everything I4 from ordering a bowl of soup in the cafeteria to arguing in class, a thing few freshmen dare to do. This year we have elected Jacqueline Greenblatt as president, Joan Conway as vice-president, Selina Abrams as secre- tary, and Norma Decker as treasurer. We have a splendid record in the school sports for this year. Our energy and skill have brought us eight points in fieldball and eleven points in basketball. As for tennis, we are proud to proclaim that our champion, Alice Suttie, who was in the semi-finals of the annual tennis tournament last year, has, by winning this year's tournament, become the champion of the school. VVe now lead the other classes in points toward the loving cup which will be awarded on Field Day. YVe have not neglected other affairs for the sake of sports. We enjoy devil- ing our little friends, the Freshmen, and often entertain them with such wit- ticisms as Shut your eyes .... Dark isn't it? We have loved every minute of the school dances-the Thanksgiving dance-the Christmas dance-the Junior Prom. M7 e have only just recovered from the wave of madness that swept over us at national election time, and made us almost come to blows with friends who disagreed with us. We have done every- thing this year and have had as much fun as possible from our varied activities. Next year we shall return to school as staid and dignified juniors. We mean to take' part in as many or more school activities then as we have this year and to enjoy them as fully. We mean, also, to conduct ourselves next year and the year after that so that when we leave as Seniors, the underclassmen, as they ply their handkerchiefs will ask, What will W. M. I. do without them? ,1-- -7 - --- FRESH AN CLASS THE first day of the school year began a new and exciting life for the students who entered W1 M. I. as freshmen. It was different indeed from the life they had led as eighth graders. Chapel was different-the impressive services, the an- nouncements, the thrill of curiosity when the freshmen were asked to stay for a class meeting. Classes were different, not merely in the work, but in the whole complicated elective system. How crowded the oflice was for weeks with girls trying to change their schedules and subjects! As to the classes them- selves, how strange they seemed to us at first! History instead of social studies, algebra instead of arithmetic, bewilder- ing languages and business subjects, serious classes in science instead of a few nature stories told by a teacher to the M81 class. English seemed to be the only familiar subject taught in a familiar way. And strange it was to be addressed as Miss Smithf, VVe discovered, also, that, on the whole, we were suddenly expected to behave like adults. This was flatter- ing, but a difficult standard to live up to. The high school home work was cer- tainly much heavier than grade school home work,-however, we seem to be bearing up. Having our afternoons free was a welcome innovation. New also were the great number of extra-curricular activities, although there had been a few in grade school. One's social life seemed to increase by leaps and bounds as soon as one entered high school. There were several clubs open to Freshmen and a few dances that they might attend, not to mention the social sessions with boys that took place within a block or two of the school every morning before the bell rang. Some phases of the new life were less pleasant than others. It was no fun to change from being upper classmen to lower classmen, and we must confess that we greatly resented the attitude of the Sophomores who seemed to want to put us in our places. We also regretted from the first the fact that there were so many stairs at VV. M. I.-and no elevators. At any rate we are getting used to it all. We never go to the wrong classes by mistake now and we have become quite familiar with the layout of the school. We have also become accustomed to our I4 studies. A poll taken of some of the Freshmen discloses that English, French, and Latin are the most popular subjects. VVe are proud of our class officers: Presi- dent Despena Manavas, Vice-President joan Beckwith, Secretary Mary Mikiska, Treasurer Dorothy Perry. The class president acts as representative for the freshman class at the Better Yet Club Cabinet meetings. In this way the pupils have a voice in the school management. What kinds of girls make up the Fresh- man ClassP VVhat girls are outstanding in the Class? The Class can boast of many scholars, athletes, and popular and glamorous young ladies. The Class is a likeable group of young girls, gay and lively, interested in all that goes on- from Latin tests to the New Deal and Many of us dance. Many the European situation. enjoyed the Christmas participated in the intra-mural sports of the school, and others cheered them from the side lines. As yet, however, the Fresh- man Class has not greatly distinguished itself in any particular field. As to its future-the upperclassmen challenge it to show the stuff of which it is made. We have thrown ourselves heartily into every activity and have truly en- joyed our school year. Now that June is approaching we have already begun to think occasionally of next year. We face it confidently, certain that we shall enjoy it as much as, if not more than, the year we are just completing. At the same time we feel a little solemn for we have a serious purpose for the coming year, not merely to be happy, for happiness will come without our striving for it, but to spend our time in a way that will be worthy of ourselves and of our school. RE INISCENCE Now, in dreamy reminiscence, we look back across the years, VVC remember former troubles, and forgotten joys and fears. We remember that first morning, in the bright September weather, Wfhen the school was opened to us, and we walked its halls together, In those first bewildered classes, how both friends and strangers met, M7e remember, we remember-how could human heart forget? We remember frosty mornings, when our breath was like a cloud, And the trees were trimmed with silver, and their icy backs were bowed When we reached the school exhausted, after tramping through the snow, And our hearts were beating faster, and our bodies were a-glow, And, after school we gathered where the skaters skimmed the lake, And like silver-bladed swallows, left the breezes in their wake. W'e remember many evenings when our brains were numb with toil, And our tired heads were nodding as we burned the midnight oil, M7e remember, in the classroom, when the time went very slow, And our brains grew sore from searching after things we didn't know. Wfe remember, too, the magic, when our hearts were deeply stirred By the beauty of a poet, or the wisdom of a word. VVC remember days in summer when the sky was very blue, And the grass was green around us, and the world seemed made anew. In our classes we sat dreaming of the world that lay outside- Of the woods and of the meadows, and the sunlit ocean tide. And the thing we planned that summer ran through all our conversation And we counted days and hours 'til the summer's long vacation. VVe remember Friday evenings, how the lighted school was gay, And it rang with happy laughter, and we heard the music play. VVe were dressed in silks and satins and our escorts glowed with pride. And the Heavens' stars were dimmer than the starry eyes inside. As we talked and danced together, we knew well that life was sweet, And the festive halls re-echoed with the sound of dancing feet. We remember laughing gaily at a teacher's word or tone, Or at lines of the Aeneid such as Vergil would disown. And when one of us was troubled, we have wept together too- We have laughed and cried together just as only youth can do, Vile have mingled tears and laughter, we have blended grief and bliss- And what of life hereafter-is it not akin to this? They were golden years we passed here, yet our hearts cannot believe That because the years are ended, there is any cause to grieve. VVe can only keep on striving, that our lifetime as a whole May be fashioned out of silver, with the silver stars our goal. We can only pray, as always, that the path of life be sweet, With a blue sky stretching over us, and flowers at our feet. JOANNA D1MocK f50l ACTIVITIES TUDE GOVERNME Leaders of our democracy .... THE Better Yet Club, which is the student government organization of W. M. I., was organized about 1923 at the suggestion of Colin S. Buell, principal at that time. Upon entrance into W. M. I. all stu- dents and faculty members become mem- bers of the Better Yet Club. The aims of the club are to promote better citizen- ship both in and out of school, to estab- lish habits that will fit us for life in society when We leave school, and to make W. M. I. better yet. The governing body is the executive branch called the Cabinet. Comparable to the United States House of Repre- sentatives is the Better Yet Club Council which discusses and acts on certain problems of the school. The Honor Court tries violators of its rules and metes out suitable punishment for those found guilty. The Vigilance Depart- ment is that branch of the governing 21 body which enforces the rules and regula- tions of the Better Yet Club and of the school. Election of officers for the club is held toward the close of the school year. The president of the organization is elected from the incoming Senior Classy a vice- president is elected from and by the facultyg and a secretary-treasurer is elected from the incoming Junior Class. The executive branch of the Better Yet Club is called the Better Yet Club Cabinet. This branch determines the policies of the club and has the power to remove from oflice any oflicer who proves unworthy to hold her position. This year the Cabinet 'has assisted in the plans for Parents' Day. It has also tried to interest the girls in social service Work in our community. The first project in the latter connection was the collection and repair of toys for needy children at Christmas time. Uniform class constitutions have been drawn up by a special committee appointed by this year's Cabinet. The new consti- tutions will be helpful in regulating class elections and other class activities. The Better Yet Club Council, which was organized last year, is that division of the Better Yet Club which acts as a house of representatives. During the short time of its existence, it has become one of the more important branches of W. M. I. student government. At the beginning of the school year each home-room elects a representative to the Council, and an alternate to take the place of the regular member in her absence. The chairman of the Council, chosen from the Senior Class, was this year Juanita Baquero. The duties of the regular members are to receive suggestions from the home- rooms for consideration at the regular Council meetings which are held the second Tuesday of each month, and to conduct the home-room discussions. In addition to substituting for the regular member in her absence, the alternate assists in the home-room discus- sions by taking notes which later form the basis of a report to the Council. Topics for discussion are decided upon by the Council. They usually concern school problems or school needs. Of those discussions held this year, one was based on a list of miscellaneous questions, one on parliamentary procedure, and others on improving school work, courtesy in school relationships, qualities VV. IVI. I.'s Supreme Court .... necessary for leadership, and school spirit. Plans have been made for future discussions in the home-room. The Vigilance Department is the branch of the Better Yet Club which en- forces the rules and regulations of the Better Yet Club and of the school. The present Vigilance Department which was organized a year ago when the Constitution of the Better Yet Club was revised, now includes members from all Senior, Junior, and Sophomore home- rooms. There are two elected repre- sentatives from each Junior and Senior home-room and one elected representa- tive from each Sophomore home-room. The Vigilance Department takes care of all matters pertaining to the student use of the grounds and the cafeteria and is in charge of all traffic problems of the school. To distinguish members from other students, they are given blue and On duty .... white arm bands which display the letters MIN. M. I. The judicial power of the W. M. I. student government is vested in the Honor Court whose members consist of a Chief Justice and four Associate Justices -one chosen from each class. It is the duty of the Honor Court to try students who have violated the laws of the Better Yet Club. Punishment is meted out to the violators according to the nature of the infringement. All de- cisions of the Honor Court are subject to the approval of Mr. Burtt. PUBLICATIO THREE years ago, a group of enter- prising students organized and published our official school newspaper, The Des- crmt. The editorial staffs, with each suc- cessive issue, have done their utmost to make The Desczmt truly representative of student opinion. Because of their efforts, we believe we have achieved this objec- tive. The meaning of the word Descant -comment-is tl1e primary reason for its existence. We have tried to live up to this definition by presenting to our readers accounts of all the happenings at W. M. I. We have included in our pages literary items by the students, in- teresting features, and numerous illustra- tions, all designed to make The Desccmt appealing. The current year has seen many im- provements in our school newspaper. First, a heavier grade of mimeograph paper and smaller type were introduced to conserve space. Other changes made during the year included an Orchids column, several issues built around a central theme, and an increased editorial staff. Contrary to regular procedure, the staff of 211, elected successors in March so that they might work on the two succeeding Descfmt issues. The new editors, having made use of this valuable experience, proceeded to issue the year's final Descmit, unassisted by the retiring staff. Needless to say, their efforts were well rewarded. Conference on news . . . . . 41 l Desca 71 t typists .... The 1941 Desccmt continued its mem- bership in the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, and entered the annual com- petition. A delegation composed of two editors and two faculty advisers attended the Press Convention in New York City, returning l1ome with second honors. The Descfmt has held this distinction since it first became a press member, three years ago. Those who attended the conven- tion brought back a number of new ideas to be used in improving future Descfmts. Toward the close of the school year, a poll was sponsored by the Descant to de- termine what features were most enjoyed by its readers. All those participating were asked to check certain preferences and to offer suggestions or criticism of the Descent. The results were quite en- lightening. The year's activities were ended with a joint picnic including both new and retiring staffs, faculty advisers, and typists. This event marked the end of a busy but enjoyable year for the 1941 staff. As we lay down our work, we wish to acknowledge our debt of insoiration to former members of the staff. NVe hope that the untapped knowledge in the heads of our successors will make the future Descrmts even Better Yet! In closing, we gratefully acknowledge the unfailing cooperation of our faculty advisers and the students who have served us as reporters and typists. THE W. M. I. yearbook, published an- nually by the Senior Class, is entitled the LEGENDA. This title was suggested by Miss Madeleine Freeman whom the 1941 issue is proudly honoring. The yearbook had its humble be- ginning in the form of a school news- paper published monthly by the students. The first issue was dated September 1, 1901. The subtitle was: Published Now and Then. It contained news of interest to the school and literary articles, stories, poems and essays, contributed by the girls. The last section of the paper was devoted solely to advertisements. The July issue, or the Commencement Issue, contained, in addition to the regular features, the class poem, prophecy and the graduating address. The newspaper was in existence until July, 1908. There is no official record of an issue following that date. In the interval between 1908 and 1921, W. M. I. was without a yearbook of any kind. The school-year of 1920-21, how- ever, brought a revival of the literary publication in the form of a magazine, published quarterly. The magazine con- tained, besides the literary articles, alumnae notes, jokes, club reports, and exchange features. The commencement issue was the forerunner of our modern yearbook, including many features which are considered original in an up-to-date annual-a class history, class poem, class prophecy, class song, class will, and even superlatives under the title statistics. It also contained group pictures of the graduating class and the class basketball team. By 1930 the yearbook, LEGENDA, had supplanted the literary magazine as an annual report of school activities. As yet there were no individual portraits of the Seniors, but the other important features of our modern annual were included. The enlarged LEGENDA of 1935 contained the individual pictures of the graduating class and many photos of student life and club activities. By 1939 the LEGENDA sported a new leatherette cover. The 1941 LEGENDA has embodied all the good features of previous issues, be- sides including many new ones. This year, for the Hrst time, the W. M. I. year- book has a central theme. The theme is the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of VV. M. I. A special history of the school is included. The staff of 1941 has earnestly endeavored to make this year's LEGENDA better yetf' How will it look .... MUSIC A musical department is almost a tradition at W. M. I. The school is proud of having had one for the past two decades. This year the department consists of four main divisions-the band, glee club, choir, and orchestra. The W. M. I. band was organized in November, 1933 by Mr. Howard T. Pierce of Bulkeley High School. The concerts and appearances in various civic parades proved how successful an organ- ization it really was. The forty girls of the band wore very attractive uniforms -white tams, blue sweaters with white W. M. I. insignias, white skirts and white shoes. In 1935 the band won first place at the Annual Connecticut Musical Festi- val held at Hartford. In successive years it gained high honors in musical festivals and concerts held at various places throughout entire New England. In 1937 the girls raised enough money to purchase new uniforms-blue tri-cornered hats, blue capes and skirts, white sweaters, and white anklets and shoes. That same year they entertained the Pawtucket, Rhode Island High School Band at Buell Hall. The following year the entire music department played host to 500 stu- dents who came to New London for tl1e Annual New England Musical Festival. This year the Festival was again held in New London. The W. M. I. Glee Club was formed in the early nineteen twenties. One of its most important functions has been tl1e traditional caroling at Christmas time. The Glee Club is open to all students with a talent for singing and a fair knowledge of reading music. Its aim has been to further the interest of its members in good music. In 1935 tl1e Glee Club, in collaboration with Bulke- ley High School, presented tl1e musical comedy, The Red Mill, by Victor Her- bert. Wilbur Cross, governor of Con- necticut at tl1at time, attended the per- formance to l1onor Mr. Buell, his class- mate at Yale. Both men graduated in the Class of 1885. The Red Mill was the Hrst student production to be held in the new Buell Hall. Together with the band and the orchestra, the Glee Club has attended many musical festi- vals and concerts. It has always made a Hne showing. Th e music makers .... Our singing talent .... For many years the choir has been com- posed of members of the Glee Club. Its main activity has been presiding over the morning chapel exercises. Of late it has sung at churches and local clubs. In 1940, under Miss Edith Pekkanen, the new music instructor, the choir became a select group, with members chosen on a competitive basis from the four classes. The choir's blue robes and white collars were purchased with money from a con- cert given in April, 1936 by the W. M. I. and Springfield, Massachusetts bands. The choir had an important part in the Folk Festival presented in April of last year under the direction of Miss Pekkanen. Prior to Miss Pekkanen's engagement as music instructor at W. M. I., the musical organizations had rehearsed after school hours under the direction of Mr. Howard T. Pierce. During her stay the rehearsals were conducted during school hours. A change in the school program permitted this new arrangement. YV. M. I. boasted of a school orchestra in 1915. It played at the performance of Shakespeare's As You Like It, pre- sented by the Class of 1915. This organ- ization was discontinued and not revived until 1940. Under Miss Pekkanen's guidance, the new W. M. I. orchestra became well-known through its partici- pation in school assemblies. It played at the Folk Festival, sponsored by the entire music department in April 1940. l57l Miss Pekkanen came to W. M. I. in the fall of 1939. She left the school when it recessed for its annual Christmas vaca- tion in 1940. The school was fortunate in securing the services of Miss Gertrude Miller, formerly of the Willis Music Company of Ohio. Under Miss Miller's direction many interesting programs have been given. On April 9 a program of Easter music by the orchestra and choir was presented to the school. In the afternoon the orchestra, brass sextet and choir enter- tained members of the Jennings School. On April 21 the W. M. I. band and the Band on parade .... brass sextet played at the Seaside Sana- torium. Leah Meyer sang a soprano solo, Helene O'Brien rendered' a piano solo, and Doris Johnson sang cowboy songs accompanying herself on her guitar. Members of the Sophomore Class were hostesses to the children of the eighth grades on April 22. Members of the orchestra, choir, and band presented a delightful program with the assistance of Clara Bruce and June Eklund. The Music Department had a prominent part in the festivities of the fiftieth annivers- ary of the founding of W. M. I., playing between the acts of the alumnae play on May 9, and at the alumnae tea on May 11. Miss Miller is very enthusiastic over the possibilities of the W. M. I. musical organizations. In her opinion the future of the Music Department of W. M. I. is unlimited. ATHLETICS Cmzgmtulril WHEN we walk into our fine new gymnasium witl1 its modern equipment, we are often reminded of the days when the gym classes were held on the top floor of YVilliams Hall. After almost forty-five years of physical training in Williains Hall a new gymnasium in Buell Hall was opened in September, 1934. In 1937, o11r Freshman year, another change was made, the black gym bloom- ers and white middy blouses of former years, were changed to the single blue uniform that all of the girls in school now wear. Since 1891, the scope of the athletic activities at VV. M. l. has bI'021ClCllCd con- siderably. Mle now have tennis, heldball, soccer, basketball, baseball, and volley- ball, whereas before, tl1e girls were given physical exercises only. This year the activities started off with an exciting tennis tournament held at Caulkins' Park. Alice Suttie, a repre- sentative of the Sophomore Class, was the winner. I11 tl1e semi-finals, Alice Suttie defeated R11th Rogers, a Sophomore, and Helene O'Brien, a Senior, defeated Barbara BTOWVII. In the finals, Alice ions in 1 T581 Mlm' . . . . J Suttie defeated Helene O'Brien, and thus gained hve points for the Sophomore Class toward Field Day. Closely following the tennis tourna- ment came tl1e soccer and lieldball games. This year, the soccer game, which is li111ited to Seniors and Juniors, was all exciting match. The score was tied and although several minutes of over- time were played, it remained tied. Two and one-half points were awarded to each class toward Field Day. The Heldball games between the Sophomores and Freshmen proved to be quite a victory for the Sophomores, as both their first and second teams de- feated the Freshmen. lvith these vic- tories, the Sophomores gained eight points toward Field Day. Two Play Days were held this year. At the first, the girls of Norwich Free Academy were the hostesses and girls from the following schools attended: Chapman Technical High School, Fitch High School, Bacon Academy, Stoning- ton High School, and YV. M. l. The purpose of this Play Day is to enable twenty girls from each school to become better acquainted with the girls from surrounding towns, as they join in non- competitive games. A second Play Day was held with the basketball teams of Fitch High School and W. M. I. The basketball season opened with an exciting ganle between the Seniors and the Sophomores, amidst great shouting and cheering. The Senior Class lost the banner, by only one point, to the Junior Class. Senior ISI defeated Junior lst 31-26 Senior ISI defeated Sophomore 1St 24-12 Senior ISI defeated Freshman ISI 36-16 Senior 2lld defeated Freshman 2I'lCl 18-12 junior ISI defeated Sophomore ISI 34-22 junior ISI defeated Freshman ISI 34-26 junior 2lld defeated Senior 2nd 10-5 junior 2nd defeated Sophomore 2lld 24-4 junior 2l'1Cl defeated Freshman 2lld 12-10 Sopllomore ISE defeated Freshman ISI 24-19 Sophomore 2lld defeated Senior 2lld 22-I8 Sopllomore 2lld defeated Freshlllall 2l1ll 20-7 The Athletic Association at W. M.,I. is an organization to which every mem- ber of the student body belongs. Since the new budget plan went into effect, the A. A. dues are taken care of by this plan. The dues are used to pay for the equip- ment in the class gymnastics and in the intramural sports. These dues also take care of the loving cups, monograms, and numerals that are awarded during the school term. Immediately following basketball this year the girls started practicing for volley ball. The games proved to be very ex- Will she make it .... 91 citing, for all of the teams played well. The Sophomore first and second teams defeated the Freshman first and second teams, thus gaining eight points for their class. The Seniors defeated the Juniors in an excellent game, and in the finals they overthrew the Sophomores, adding ten points to their score for Field Day. The softball games for this year proved to be exceptionally interesting. Two years ago Miss Polinsky noticed that a great many girls played softball during the summer months with some of the city leagues, and therefore she decided to teach soft league baseball instead of the regular hardball. This sport has become very popular and a great many of the students prefer it to the hard ball. Which side will win .... Again this year Field Day was the H1051 important athletic event. This activity is the one that is participated in by more girls than any otller sport in school, and it is viewed with an Cqllal alnount of interest. This year Miss Polinsky added several new relays and races to the previous numbers. The regular races that were held were the fifty yard dash, the sixty-hve yard dash, and the seventy yard dash. The fifty yard relay was also one of the regular races. An amusing innovation was the heel and toe race, and the flag relay was exciting. Two other events were the basketball throw and the base- ball throw. ATHEMATICS Can you get it .... AT the suggestion of Mr. Burtt, a Mathematics Club was formed at W. M. I. last year. The idea was so enthusias- tically received by the girls that the club became an instant success. A large at- tendance at the organization meeting necessitated a division of the club into two groups-the Senior Mathematics Club for students who have completed one year of algebra, and the Freshman Mathematics Club for students beginning the study of the subject. The name adopted by the Freshman division is the jagat Club. Jagat stands for Junior, Arithmetic, Geometry, Alge- bra and Trigonometry. The aim of the club is to promote interest in mathe- matics and an understanding of it. The officers for this year are: President-Ruth Gadboisg Secretary-Barbara Hermanns. The faculty advisers of the club are Miss Elizabeth Speirs and Miss Mary Jane Wilson. At the meetings, held on the second Tuesday of each month, unusual problems are solved, bits of mathematical history or short mathematical plays are presented, and occasionally there are guest speakers. Mathematical hobbies for the members are suggested. The members of the Jagat Club are proud of a truly successful record of achievements. The Senior Mathematics Club under- takes to prove that closer acquaintance with mathematics will bring a greater I6 understanding and enjoyment of it. The oflicers for this year are: President- Frances Sheehang Secretary-Dorothy Gadboisg Program Chairman-Ruth Fan- joy. At the meetings, held on the first Tuesday of each month, interesting facts about numbers are presented, and various famous geometric theorems are discussed. Some of the more thought-provoking problems are solved at this time. With the valuable assistance of the faculty advisers, Miss Madeleine Freeman and Mr. Burtt, this year the Senior Mathe- matics Club has successfully taken its members on several excursions into the realm of mathematics. Our mathematical wits .... SCIENCE THE W. M. I. Science Department is divided into three branches of activity- the General Science Group, the Biology Club, and the Advanced Biology Club. The General Science Group consists of members of the general science classes who wish to study the phases of science in which they are particularly interested, but which are not discussed in detail in class. According to a custom established within the last four years, the club studies one specific subject each year. Star gazers . . . . Last year the club was primarily in- terested in photography. This year it has devoted its time to the study of astronomy. The faculty adviser is Miss Agatha McGuire. There are no ofhcers this year, hence the name Group, not Club. Anyone who is interested may attend the observations. In good weather the meetings take place three evenings a month. IA7hen the weather is colder, the meetings are generally post- poned. Much enjoyment is derived from the observation of moon and stars through the W. M. I. telescope. This four-inch refracting telescope was given to the school shortly after its establishment ap- proximately Hfty years ago. The aim of the W. M. I. Biology Club, founded in 1939, is to promote more interest on the part of the students in U70 have our gardeners too . . . . Biology,-the study of living things. Membership in the club is open to all students studying Biology. Meetings are held once a month. The organization meeting of the Biology Club was held in October at Buck Lodge, Connecticut College. The girls undertook the task of planting ioo tulip bulbs in front of the three school buildings at IN. M. I., and too tulip bulbs at Mitchell's Wootls for their November project. At Thanksgiving time they collected food and money to give to the A study of birds . . . . Learned Mission for distribution to local needy families. This was in accordance with the club's desire to participate in community affairs. A Christmas tree for our little feathered friends was prepared at Christmas time. It was adorned with popcorn which the club members had strung, and with cups to hold the bird- seed. At the regular January meeting the club, accompanied by Miss Earle and Miss Abbott, visited the New London sewage disposal plant and incinerator. The February meeting consisted of a skating party held ,at Buck Lodge, Connecticut College. Not to be confused with the Biology Club is the Advanced Biology Club. Organized this year by a group of energetic Juniors the main purpose of this club is to enhance the beauty of the school grounds by planting trees and shrubs. The girls learn to recognize trees and appreciate their characteristics. An electrical questioner has been constructed to identify trees. A landscape plan was made to show the best location for those trees which the club plans to plant. Birds, as well as trees, are noted on local hikes. ANGUAGE CLUB Sorores Togatae, the Latin Club of VV. M. I., has this year, as in the past ten years, served to further the interest of the students in the language, and to afford opportunities for teachers and girls to become better acquainted. At the meetings Roman history, life, and customs have been discussed. Games relating to these topics have been played and greatly enjoyed by the members. The Sorores Togatae, sisters of the toga, have also enjoyed learning the many in- teresting facts about Roman life which could not be stressed in class owing to the lack of time. One of the most outstanding events of the year was the Christmas party. A unique program in observance of the holiday was arranged. A glistening Christmas tree stood in the corner of the room surrounded by gaily wrapped gifts bearing Latin inscriptions. Gifts were exchanged, but before they could be opened the girls had to translate the Latin greetings on them. Each girl at the meeting represented a mythological character. Christmas carols were sung and refreshments were enjoyed. The final event of the year was the annual picnic held in june. This brought to a close the many activities of the club. Sk SF Pl? As Le Cercle Francais, the French Club, looks back over the record of its twenty years of existence, it Finds it an interesting story of progressive activity. The varied programs during this time have provided an unusual form of recrea- tion and social activity for the club mem- bers, and have brought to them a deeper insight into the character of the French people, and an appreciation of French culture. In recent years, the regular meetings have been supplemented by the presenta- tion of French films such as Le Barbier l62l ' A good time had by azz . . . de Seville by Beaumarchais, Moliere's Les Precieuses Ridicules, and the more modern L'I-lomme de Nulle Part and Le Quai des Brumesf' Radio broad- casts in French by Miss Carola Ernst of Connecticut College, interesting talks by exchange students from Europe, visits to the Lyman Allyn Museum with informal lectures by the curator, Mr. VVinslow Ames, and French operas broadcast from the Metropolitan have provided much additional inspiration and pleasure for the club members. The year 1937 was marked by the construction of a charming little Guignol theatre, complete with puppets modeled and dressed by the students. The Guignol plays presented each year by this tiny troupe of actors have been a source of much enjoyment to the club, and all have looked forward with pleasure to the familiar Pan! Pan! Pan! announcing Polichinelle. Among the regular plays given on the stage of Buell Hall should be noted especially the highly amusing comedy, L'Anglais tel qu'on le parle, given in 1939 by a group of ambitious club members. In addition to entertainment of this type, the pro- grams have included songs and games in which all have taken part, and each season has been brought to a close with an enjoyable picnic. Many changes have been made in the organization of Le Cercle Francais since its beginning. The club was originally a single group, but in 1936 it became necessary to divide it, and a junior and a Senior club were formed. This year has seen the organization of a third group when students of first year French made their bow under the name of Les Debutantes. These three chapters of the club, each with its own staff of officers, and all working under the con- stant inspiration of their directrices, look with pride upon the record of the past and look forward with pleasure to the future of Le Cercle Francais. They take their bow .... The members of this year's club will long remember with pleasure the de- lightful talk given at the May meeting by their guest speaker, Mr. Arthur Bige- low of Springheld, Massachusetts, who had recently returned as a refugee from Europe. Life in France as he knew it before the war became delightfully real to the audience as Mr. Bigelow described his impressions and told of his ex- periences. Through his beautiful de- scriptions the audience was brought to realize that the spirit of the past which has lived in the legends of Le Mont-Saint- Michel and in the beauty of the great cathedrals of Rouen, Chartres, and Notre-Dame de Paris, is still alive, and that when this page of history is turned, the world will End once more the un- dying spirit of la douce France. SF SF 4? i531 As much stress has been placed on a better relationship between the United States and our neighbors to the south, greater emphasis has been placed on the Spanish language. This increased in- terest in Spanish has been evident at vV. M. I. also, as more and more girls want to learn the language. Hence, the popularity of Las Alegres Senoritas has grown. The purpose of the club is to present some of the more interesting facts about Spanish life and customs, for which there is not time during the regular class period. This year the monthly ter- tulias have been as instructive as they have been interesting. They have in- cluded plays, poetry, games, and folk- singmg. ' Since the children of Spain receive their gifts on Twelfth Night instead of at Christmas time, our annual party was held in January in observance of the festival of the Three Kings, which is celebrated the sixth of january. Gifts were exchanged, traditional carols sung, and games including the Mexican game, La Pinata, were played. The programs this year have given the girls a better understanding and ap- preciation of the lands of Spanish cul- ture, especially those in our own hemi- sphere. TVIII she lzil if .... Tripping the light fantastic .... The purpose of the German Club, Der Deutsche Verein, is to stimulate interest in the German language, to make it a living thing, and to familiarize its mem- bers with the life, customs, and culture of the German people. Membership in the club is open to all students studying the language. This year it was larger than usual. The meetings, held the second Wednes- day of each month, are conducted in German, thus offering the girls an op- portunity to become acquainted with the language by conversing in it often. They include programs of German stories, poetry, songs, or folk-dances by the girls in costume. The December meeting, the most im- portant event of the year, consisted of a Christmas party according to German tradition. A story of the origin of 'Silent Night was presented, together with in- dividual presentations of poetry, and group singing of German Christmas carols. Gifts were exchanged around the gaily decorated tree, and refreshments were enjoyed by all. The annual German Club picnic was held in June. The club is proud of a very successful year. I6 HISTORY THE History Club of W. M. I. is divided into two groups, the Senior His- tory Club and the Freshman History Club. The Senior History Club, formed two years ago, was organized for fourth year history students who are interested in All set for a good time .... the social, political, and economic prob- lems of the world today, and wish to study them in detail. This year's officers were: President-Mary Svenbergg Secre- tary-Catherine Hislopg Program Chair- man-Ruth Ryan. The activities of the club were varied. The meetings, held the second Monday of each month, have included several interviews with people prominent in New London's legal, eco- nomic, and social life. Field trips have been made by the club members to local institutions of importance, or longer trips to Hartford, Niantic, and Wethers- field. While in Hartford they visited the State Legislature in session. At Niantic they inspected the State Farm for Women. The trip to Wethersfield af- forded a glimpse of the State Prison. Later in the year the club journeyed to New York for a whole day of sightseeing. Under the helpful guidance of Mrs. Mary Lee, the club has had a very successful year. The aim of the newly organized Fresh- man History Club is to interest more students in ancient history, and to give those studying the subject a different view of this phase of world civilization from that which is gained through class- room discussions. Officers for the year 1940-1941 were: President-Marilyn Meekg Vice-President-Doris Add, Secre- tary-Treasurer-Emma Clark, Program Chairman-Lois Gardner. The plans for A heated discussion .... f55l the club's activities this year have in- cluded an exhibit of soap carvings and drawings pertaining to ancient history. An original play was presented at one of the monthly meetings. A trip to a local museum was made by the entire club in place of a regular meeting. The club is very grateful for the assistance of its faculty adviser, Miss Eleanor Driscoll. DEB TE The Junior Citizen's Council of W.M.I. entered its third year of existence with a very successful record of achievements. The club was organized three years ago by Miss Katherine Buckley who felt the need of a club for the discussion of cur- rent topics and the encouragement of student opinion. The Debating Club, as it is informally referred, to, is now one of the most popular activities of the Juniors and Seniors. The purpose of the club is to prepare the girls to be better citizens and finer young women. It also endeavors to aid them to take a more active part in the civic affairs of their community. The officers of the club this year were: Presi- dent-Virginia Lena: Vice-President- Marguerite Campbell, Secretary-Mary Browng Treasurer-Mary Ann Youngg Program Chairman-Catherine Calan- quin. This year the activities of the club have been many and varied. An assembly program in the form of a panel discus- sion was presented to an appreciative stu- dent body. Continuing the precedent established last year, there were several exchange debates with Bulkeley High School. On the last Thursday of each monthfthe sound of voices in heated debate may be heard ringing through Buell Hall on subjects ranging from presidential elections to motion pictures. On the social side of the club's activi- ties was a merry Christmas party with gifts and refreshments for all. DRAM THE Drama Club is an extremely large and important organization at W. M. I. for the wide scope of its activities appeals to the interests of many girls. The aim of the club is to further the interest of more students in the sock and buskinf, Membership in the Drama Club is open to all students inclined toward the various phases of dramatics. Contrary to the custom of previous years, this year the club was not divided into four groups, according to classes. Instead the club was presided over by a general chair- man, Elizabeth Carlin of the Senior Class. During the course of the year, several highly entertaining plays were pre- sented. The results were very satis- factory as not only the players, but also the committees for properties, costumes, lights and make-up showed such hne cooperation. Special mention should be made of the make-up. The proceeds from the presentation of two plays to the public last year were used to purchase a professional make-up kit. Girls in- terested in the art of make-up experi- mented with excellent results on the characters in the plays presented this year. The applause of an appreciative student audience indicated to what an extent the make-up committee was suc- Wlzat would we do without them .... l55l Future Broadway .stars .... cessful. Also, the Drama Club was in charge of all programs presented in ac- cordance with the observance of na- tional holidays. The plays have attained the high standard of perfection set by the faculty advisers of the Drama Club. The club reached a new high with its evening presentation of the French classic, 'iThe Imaginary Invalid by Moliere, the great eighteenth century playwright and philosopher. The cast, headed by Shirley Schwartz portraying the central character, Argon-the imagin- ary invalid-and Leah Meyer as Toinette - his impish servant who sees right through him fmuch to his dismayju- gave an excellent performance, lending humor and sparkle to the comedy. The play was so well received that it attracted the attention of the French Club of the University of Connecticut. Professor Croteau, the head of that organization, requested that the cast present scenes from the play on the radio. The broad- cast originated from Station WTIC in Hartford, Connecticut. Accompanied by the faculty advisers of the club, the en- tire cast motored to Hartford for the broadcast. The play was as enthusiasti- cally received over the air as it had been at the evening performance in the audi- torium of IN. M. I. FEATURES HISTORY OF W. . . IN September, 1880, a New London girl who had graduated from grammar school and desired further education, would, as a matter of course, have gone to the Young Ladies' High School on Huntington Street. This was an in- stitution maintained by the city and housed in a yellow brick building that is now a convent. Here a few women under Miss Marion Green, principal, taught English, French, Latin, History, Algebra, Geometry, and Physiology to a body of about eighty girls. It was not until October 14, 1880, that Mrs. Wil- liam Williams died, leaving a will, dated April 4, 1873, which provided for the founding of Williams Memorial In- stitute. Her son, Thomas William Williams, 2d, had died at the age of forty, but not before he had become a well-known citizen and a successful whaling mer- chant. It was the whaling business, indeed, that had made the family for- tune, and it was with this fortune that Mrs. Williams planned to endow a girls' high school, in memory of her son. Mrs. Williams planned as the site for her son's memorial, the hilltop where he had meant to build himself a house. She left this land on Broad Street, and the rest of her estate to eight trustees to build a high school for girls. She had originally intended it to be a boarding school of the type known as a finishing school. However, when the time came to execute the terms of the will, such schools had begun to fall out of favor, so this plan was discarded. In 1881, the high school was chartered by the state legislature and the work on Williams Hall began in 1881. It was designed by Shepley, Rutan. and Cool- idge, and was built of pinkish granite and brownstone. The style and tvpe of material used are characteristic of Richardson, and suggest the New Lon- don Public Library and Trinity Church. i581 Boston. The cost of construction amounted to 885,000 In 1891, the last class graduated from the Young Ladies' High School and the new high school opened. Miss Crof- ton and Miss Learned, former teachers at the old high school, continued to teach at the new one. Miss Turner, who had retired, left her retirement to teach at the new institute. The trustees had planned to have a woman principal for the school, but the woman to whom they odered the post refused it, so Mr. Buell, then a teacher at Bulkeley, was awarded the post. The first faculty consisted of Mr. Buell, who in addition to his duties as principal, 'taught philosophy, English Literature, and Greek, Miss Grace Learned, who taught mathematics: Miss Mary Turner, who taught Latin and rhetoric: Miss Mary Crofton, who taught science and history: Miss Ellen Coit, who taught drawing and painting, and Miss Lucv 'May Otis, who taught physical culture. Mr. John Page was the janitor. The 'next year a language instructor was appointed. The school opened in September, 1891, to 152 pupils, thirty-two from dis- tricts adjacent to New London. fMrs. Williams had specified the benefits of her bequest to towns adiacent to New London.j At that time the school held two sessions daily. The hours were from 9:00 to 12:13 A.M., and from 1:20 to 3:00 P.M. This continued for many years, although a small cafeteria was set up in the basement of Williams Hall to provide the students with mid-morning snacks. The facilities were not sufficient to give substantial lunches to large groups of girls. ' The school curriculum was broader than that of the Young Ladies' High School, and in offering a course in physical culture, it was the Hrst New London school to give physical educa- tion to girls. The curriculum continued to broaden. It soon grew to include German and psychology, a very modern subject, as well as a class in news, held every Friday. Meanwhile Williams Hall, at first an imposing building, had been shrinking woefully. A temporary arrangement was made by which some of the girls went to school in the morning, others in the afternoon. This continued for a few years, until, in 1917, Mr. Frank L. Palmer, of the board of trustees purchased the adjacent N. Harris property and presented it to the school. The new building was called Science Hall, and in September, 1919, labora- tories, for the study of Chemistry, Physics, and Biology were opened there. On February 13, 1929, it was voted at a large and enthusiastic meeting of alumnae at the Y. W. C. A. to incorporate the Williams Memorial Institute Alumnae Association. judge Victor Prince was elected to draw up the papers of incorporation. The first project of the association was to raise, with the aid of the citizens of New London, the money for a 35,000 trust fund, of which the interest was to form a S200 per annum scholarship for the most worthy W. M. I. graduate in- tending to go to Connecticut College. Until the 35,000 was raised, the 3200 scholarships of the past were to be dis- continued, but a partial scholarship of S100 was to be awarded until that time, as well as a 3510 prize for the Connecti- cut College junior who was making the greatest effort to continue her college course. On the seventh of October, as the space problem had again become acute, the alumnae association voted to raise a .l5100,000 building fund for a combined gym and auditorium. The association contributed 3100 to this fund. The stu- dents of Williams Memorial Institute aided the cause by organizing a drive among the citizens of the vicinity. On Saturday, November 9th, the girls set out to see how much the community l59l would be willing to contribute for the proposed building. They returned with 600 cards pledging a total of 351,058 - In july, 1931, the plans for the new building were completed by architect A. Graham Creighton. The building was to be Georgian Colonial in design, of concrete, brick and steel construction, with a slate roof. It was finally arranged that the city should lend the school 5150,000. With this financial aid, the new building was constructed, despite a labor dispute. The new building, named Buell Hall after the principal, was opened on September 1, 1934. During these years, the school's social activities multiplied. 'There came to be a club for almost every subject, as well as a drama club. The Class of 1930 gave a public outdoor performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream. There were school dances and other activities. Furthermore, the school music depart- ment came into being-and flourished. On the evening of November 28, 1933, the W. M. I. band of forty girls under the direction of Mr. Pierce, created fav- orable comment when it appeared pub- licly for the first time and presented a program from the stage of the Capitol Theater. This band was the only one of its type in New England, and perhaps in the United States. On the first of April, 1935, the Hrst issue of the Galleon, the new school magazine, was distributed. This con- tained the original prose and poetic com- positions of the students. Unfortunately, this publication had to be given up for lack of funds. Its place is now taken by The Descant, which is, however, a dif- ferent type of publication, and places more emphasis on school news. Since its beginning, W. M. I. has changed in many ways, but its purpose has been constant-to be that sort of institution which will best contribute to the mental, moral, and physical welfare of the student body. I hope we ap- preciate the privilege of attending such a school. -IOANNA DIMOCK 341 GLAMOUR GIRL I '51 Gayle I I X Clark -af J Q m ,Helen Brachus BEST ACTRESS l 69 J, . , LL H Marjdrie , ,1'V YLL f MHortcm ,lfltit i , ..
