Perhaps some of you, like Jim in the play, have failed in this respect. You may wonder why 1 should place stress on the value of educational opportunities which may seem to be almost over for the majority of you. I here are two reasons for my emphasis on this point. First, educational opportunities are not over for anyone who seeks to enlarge her knowledge and training. Evening and correspondence courses, public libraries, and classes at the “Y-” or elsewhere, all offer further education to those who desire it. No member of this class needs to go mentally stale unless she does so through desire or carelessness. Don’t let the epitaph of the average man, as suggested by President Butler of Columbia, apply to you, “Dead at 30, buried at 60.” Second, many of you have younger brothers and sisters whom you may encourage to make the most of the free educational opportunities open to them. Most of you, 1 hope, will some day have children of your own, to whom even larger educational opportunities will doubtless be offered. No one should be more eager than you that they make the most of the schooling open to them. If you can honestly say that you have made the most of your days at YV.M.I., you have already within you that purpose which will spur you on in your subsequent career, be it college, job, or running a home. If you are not satisfied with the results obtained thus far, you alone can make the change needed to get the most out of life in the future. 10 •• DORIS LILLIAN ADEL Dodo General always has a joke . . . blonde . . . current book reader . . . bubbling personality . . .

M. I. would reveal why the years have passed in rapid fashion. We have always been identified as a class which can be depended upon for wholehearted support of any extra-curricular activity. Our enthusiasm and determination to accomplish what we set out to do will not be forgotten. Our social activities showed a marked increase during the past year. We entertained our Freshmen sisters at a very enjoyable tea, and sponsored our first formal dance— the Junior Prom. We realize that the day will soon come when we shall receive or diplomas. While anxious to become high-school graduates, we will feel some sorrow at leaving a school which has been the source of so much happiness.

M. I. successfully, and can now approach our work with an assured manner which we did not possess last year. Our subjects have become more difficult with the passing of the year, but in our newly found confidence we feel capable of mastering even the most troublesome problems. We rejoice at the welcome given by clubs which formerly ignored us. At present we are enthusiastic about the formal dances since the privilege to attend them is now ours. We have not ignored our former activities; the Class of 1946 remains a strong supporter of W. M. I. sports, and members of our class can be listed among the school’s finest actresses. We hope that our next two years at W. M. 1. will be as successful as the two which we have completed, so that we may look back upon our high-school careers without regret. 39 Class of 1947 Abbott, Helene Adam, Mary Lou Adles, Elizabeth Appleblad, Janet Arkava, Frances Aronson, Barbara Asburn, Ruth Bachman, Elizabeth A.

M. I., that we were to be regarded as adults. We gave chapel exercises our immediate support, because it is here that one feels the unity and co-operation of the W. M. I. student body. In sports, we set out to gain fame, by reaching the finals in fieldball, and by our strong basketball team. I he Class of 1947 hopes to fill expanding opportunities during the next three years, with activities which will make V. M. I. proud of us upon our departure.

Setter et Glut Cabinet Every student of W. M. I. is a member of the Setter Yet Club. The executive power of this club lies in the Cabinet which consists of the president, secretary, treasurer, chief justice of the Honor Court, president of the Athletic Association, Council Chairman, Vigilance Chairman, presidents of the four classes, and a Freshman and Sophomore representative. These officers are elected by the student body. Mrs. Dorothy M. Fuller is the faculty adviser. The Cabinet studies school matters which need to be corrected, approved, or settled. Any girl, faculty member, class club, or department may bring problems to the Cabinet for discussion. 'Fhis year the club has not only ably taken care of school affairs, but has attended conferences, sponsored a dance, collected money for the Red Cross, and in collaboration with other groups revised our school government last spring. The Cabinet has made another step toward the goal of “ Better Yet.” 44 overnmenf l.rjt to Right: J. Fanjoy, J. Sandlin, P. O’Grady, C. Donovan, D. Beckwith.

At the beginning of the school year, each homeroom elects a representative and an alternate to the Council. A chairman is chosen from the Senior representatives. l'he members and their alternates assist in the sale of War Bonds and Stamps in their respective homerooms. The regular members conduct homeroom discussions on topics chosen by the Council, and at the following meeting hand in reports con-cerning the discussion. The Council gathers suggestions from the students and then refers these to the Cabinet. 46 V igilamce Department The Vigilance Department is an important part of our school government. The members, distinguished bv their blue and white arm bands, help with the direction of traffic, supervise student use of the grounds and cafeteria and act as office messengers. Members were chosen at the mid-year, under our new system of elections. This department is under the supervision of Miss Elizabeth Waterman.

Olga Kashanski Erna Hoffner Miss Clara Polinskv Atnietic Association “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”— that goes for Jill too! One of the most important recreational projects at VV. M. I. is the Athletic Association’s sports program. At the beginning of the cool autumn weather this year, freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors alike, began rigorous field ball practice on the back campus. After the preliminary games, the eligible teams for the finals included only the freshmen and their senior sisters. Perhaps if the frosh team had been a little more experienced, it could have prevented the upper-classmen from gaining the first five points toward the 1944 loving cup. In January the gymnasium became a basketball court where VV. M. I. girls worked to perfect teams for the interclass competitive games, which were held after a month’s practice. The remainder of the season was devoted to volleyball, badminton, and softball. VV. M. I. girls felt disappointed during recent years when wartime activities in the physical education classes necessitated omitting the annual field day from the A. A.’s seasonal calendar. However, the sentiment was a little better this year when the Athletic officers, aided by Miss Clara Polinskv, director of physical education, supervised a field day program. 1 he Athletic Association officers took their first step in a more social direction this winter, when it sponsored ’teen age dances for service men at a local U.

It leads us in the singing of hymns at daily chapel exercises, and frequently presents special programs. The choir’s major undertaking for the year was its beautiful rendition of Handel’s “Messiah” at the Christmas program. It entertained the boys in the armed forces at numerous U. S. (). and training camp programs. The choir is open to upper classmen only. The organization rehearses three periods weekly during school time, and two points credit are given for completion of the work. 50 f W. M. I. Orcliesira Under the direction of Miss Gertrude Miller, the W. M. I. orchestra is one of the finest organizations of the school. It has provided pleasure for students, faculty, and the citizens of our community. Membership in the W. M. 1. Orchestra enables each girl to improve her instrumental ability. Music played by this organization is of classical standard—thus, each girl, through participation, becomes acquainted with important works of great music masters. The orchestra participates in the Monday morning chapel services, assembly programs, special programs, and plays. It has also provided musical entertainment for the boys in our armed forces. The members have one common bond—that of music—which is a basis for the close friendship and enthusiasm shown by its members. The girls of the orchestra may well he proud of the fine work they are doing. Front Row on Floor: V. Edwards, J. Rowley. Front Row: C. Quimby, M. Levine, M. Hjortland, E. L. Caswell, L.

Band was organized in 1933. Since then, this organization has taken an important part in our school life. During the past year the members played at Glee The Glee Club offers an opportunity for choral participation to any student interested in music and anxious to become acquainted with choral works. Membership in the Glee Club is open to all classes. Its most important project is the presentation of a program at Christmas. several Friday afternoon assemblies. Rehearsals are held twice each week during school time. One point credit is given. CJllL During the second semester the Glee Club participated in assembly and chapel programs. One year of Glee Club is required as a prerequisite for Choir membership. The Club carries one point credit, and rehearses once a week during school time. 52 Cl U It) s O O O Le Cercle F rancais Le Cercle Frangais offers French students an opportunity of furthering their understanding of France as a nation, and of increasing their knowledge of it as one of the world’s great centers of culture. Throughout the year the traditional programs were held, in which the girls participated in French games, plays, readings, folk songs, puppet shows, and dances. At one meeting Mile Carola T. Ernst, Chairman of the French Department at Connecticut College, spoke to the girls on life in her native country of Belgium. A movement was started to aid some Belgium student as soon as political conditions make it possible. Miss Josephine Mansfield acted as faculty .adviser to the club. Front Row. B. Seward, E.

Oer Deutsche V erein Under the guidance of Miss Dorothy Page, the members of Der Deutsche Verein have the opportunity of furthering their knowledge of German culture and customs. At the monthly meetings the group enjoyed programs which combined literary features with songs, folk dancing, and activities of a purely social nature. The season was brought to a close with the annual picnic in June. Las Aiegres Senorifas Les Aiegres Senoritas gives interested students of Spanish an opportunity to study further, subjects concerning Spain and Spanish America. Through songs, dances, poetry, and reports they learn about the customs and culture of these countries. The importance of good will toward our Latin neighbors was particularly stressed this year.

Senior I History Club Seniors taking “Problems of American Democracy” and interested in social, economic, and political problems have an opportunity to join the Senior History Club Among the club’s important activities this year were—the keeping of a scrapbook which concerns all W. M. I. graduates who have entered the service—field trips to the Shaw Mansion and the County Jail—the giving of a patriotic skit— and the distribution of Consumer’s Pledges. Most important of all was the willingness of the girls to give their dues to purchase stamps and, eventually, a bond. Under the direction of Mrs. Lee, faculty adviser, the club has passed another successful year. Junior Citizens Council The W. M. I. Junior Citizens Council—better known as the Discussion Club—consists of juniors and seniors who enjoy discussing problems of national, foreign, state, local, and school affairs. These discussions offer training in citizenship and help the girls to think clearly on important issues of the day. With the help of Mrs. Katherine B. Vargas, faculty adviser, the club’s program this year consisted of the discussion of various problems, the sponsoring of a dance, and a picnic in June which ended a successful year. An innovation this year was the election of a program chairman each month, rather than one for the entire year. Front Row: Mikiska, Mc- Carthy, McCarthy, Crem-ins, Hedden, Mrs. Vargas, Hartman.

The meetings are held on the first Tuesday of the month. A program chairman is elected at each meeting for the following meeting. Under the supervision of the faculty advisers, Mr. Burtt and Mrs. Quimby, interesting programs are planned. These consist of plays, brief talks on mathematical puzzles, instruments, famous mathematicians, and guest speakers. Another mathematics club is the Jagat Club, open only to Freshmen. The meetings are held on the second Tuesday of the month. Faculty adviser to the group is Mrs. Quimby. This club is popular because of the variety of stage work which it offers to the members. It affords an excellent experience for W. M. I.’s drama enthusiasts, and provides work for girls interested in acting, lighting, make-up, properties, and prompting. This year a short playlet, “Let Me Come Back,” was given in honor of National Education Week. Another playlet entitled, “My Name is Mildred,” directed and presented by the students, was given at the organization meeting. The most important feature of this year’s program was the presentation of a play by each class, given on a competitive basis. The Dra-ra club's advisers are Mrs. Dorothy Fuller. Miss Isabel Colby. Miss Louise Rafferty, and Miss Janice Wightman. Front Row: Carlson. O'Neill, D pollina. May. Sammataro. Telagc. LaCroix. Tate. Stevens. Smith Hiortland, Comeford. Magaraci. Second Row: Pittori.

The club holds its meetings on the first and third Thursdays of each month—the former being the business meeting and the latter an activity meeting. One important function of the club is the decoration of Buell Hall at Christmas time. Trips were enjoyed by the members to the Connecticut College campus and Cedar Grove Cemetery, where the groups studied the landscaping. 'This gave the girls useful ideas for beautifying our campus. The girls were assisted by Miss Mildred Abbott, their faculty adviser. [Biology Glut Any girl taking biology is eligible for membership in the club. The meetings are held monthly and the biology teachers, Miss Abbott and Miss Earle, act as club advisers. The club has many activities. Among them is the collecting of food and money for distribution by the Learned Mission at Thanksgiving time. At Christmas, the club is responsible for decorating Palmer Hall. Many times during the year the club went on hikes to such places of interest as the Connecticut College Arboretum, Bates’s Woods, and the College greenhouses.

Miss Elizabeth Hollister, assisted by Miss Caroline Caruso and Miss Mildred Abbott, was the Club’s adviser. .Projection Group The Projection Group is an organization which offers students the opportunity of performing a helpful service for the school, and also of developing an interesting hobby. Membership is voluntary, but limited by a girl’s ability to give a study period a week if needed. 'Phis group has assisted in many of our school assembles by presenting song slides for group singing, and pictures to help illustrate certain assemblies. It is also responsible for operating the small projector, which enables various classes to view films connected with their studies. Front Row: Tagliarini, Appleblad, Matsch.
