J I I hope you girls don't mind, but I just had to peek in for a minute. You see, I used to live here-class of VLI, you know. But when I was here, we used to have the bureau over there by the window and the beds over here and the Odd banner hung on the side wall. I never shall forget our first Dummy Rush, when the Evens tried to take the banner. Our big sisters had warned us to take good care of it because the Evens would be after it, and so we hardly slept all that night. Every time the wind rattled the door, we thought it was an Even coming to steal the banner. Oh, and do you still have a big hockey game on Thanksgiving, with that won- derful dinner and K. P. play to finish the day? I'll never forget the snow we had one year. After dinner we sat and talked and watched it fall until it was time for the play. That play was a great event, the girls practised for weeks and sandwiched their classes in between rehearsals.

But I believe I liked Christmas time best of all. Wfe used to sit around the fire in the dean's room and read Dickens' Christmas Carol. Then on the last morning before vacation it was heavenly to lie in bed and listen to the choir singing Christ- mas carols through the halls. How we hated the thought of coming back after vacation to exams. Our room became a regular study hall for all biology exams. Five or six of us would lie around on the floor and try to cram what little we knew into everyone's head. However, May Day was always ahead of us. Wilson is so beautiful in the spring, anyway, and the girls looked especially pretty in their court costumes against a background of spring foliage. And I'll never forget the qualms we had about the weather. One minute the pageant was postponed because of the rain, and the next minute frantic preparations were being made for its presentation. Oh, and I remember Step-singing. You do still have it, donit you? One night wc sang Rah, Rah, Rah, all the way from South to Main. Then we came in here and had a bull session in which we wrote a song contest. We didnit win, but we thought it was good and used to sing it to ourselves as we paddled up and down the Conocoeheague. In the springtime we used to take canoes out and study over on the other side of the island where it is so beautiful. The scenery there always reminded me of a Wallace Nutting painting. My goodness, what's that? Oh yes, the fire siren! you say it goes off at five minutes of one every day still? Why it must he lunch time, and here I've kept you from your work all this time! But I must go now. Thank you for letting me visit you. ,lust being here has brought back so many memories . . . I'm sure you7ll understand when you're an alumna . MILLICENT E.
