Foreword This afternoon as the final bell rings, I close my book and look around me. Inside there is the same familiar bustle to hurry to leaveg outside, the same spring weather beckoning us to come. Suddenly I realize that though Study Hall is the same, though Spring is the same, we have changed. We are older and more mature now, more so than we ever thought we could be, even as Seniors. As I listen to some of the girls talk, I wonder if we would be so mature if there were no war. Obviously the answer is No. For we are forced by the confusion that the war is causing to find purpose in our lives, or be swept away by the tide of events. This and only this benefit has the war given usg we have been forced to face the stark reality of life which allows us no illusions, but which does give us a view of our future. Our future is a challenge. With all the exuberance of Youth in our hearts we are proud that God has chosen us to meet that challenge. We will not blunder, armed only with blind belief. Knowledge and Faith will show us the way. In a way we are sorry to leave the carefree stage of our lives when nothing bothered us but an oncoming Math Examination or the tension of waiting for an invita- tion to a dance. We have loved this life which has been our foundation. It has been perfect. If we can live up to it for the rest of our lives, they will indeed be complete. We do not want to forget one minute that we have had. We realize now that it means too much to us for that. That is why we wish the Thistledown to make Winchester-Thurston not a memory but a living part of us. We have changed a little, taking the theme, Our Life. Beginning with Kindergarten and going on down through the years, we have remembered when we were in the various classes which are now occupied by our suc- cessors. V We feel that this really makes it our Yearbook from beginning to end. Yet we do not think that the underclassmen have been cheated, for with a change of names the story could also be theirs. We hope that the Yearbook conveys at least one message to the underclassmen, namely: to enjoy every minute of Winchester-Thurston, for some day they will have to leave it. If perhaps they cannot understand why we put the emphasis on ourselves in a book that really belongs to the school, they will understand when they reach our age, for they too will want every bit of school life they have had embodied in something permanent. J .A. 443 Dedication to Miss Mitchell To you, Miss Mitchell, we dedieate this, our Yearbook. It is not suflieient, yet there is nothing line enough or great enough that we can give you to express our grateful devotion. The only thing we can do is to pledge our solemn promise that we will always endeavor to live up to your ideals. You have always loved us, encouraged us, and striven for us. Innumerable times you have forgiven us. Perhaps parting is so difficult because through our faults we have eomc to know and love your patient understanding. VVe can never forget you. To us you are all that true Beauty and Yvomanhood stand for. In you is a refreshing, tireless flow of strength and love of life combined with an inborn wisdom. VVe thank God that we have been able to be under your guidance, Miss Mitchell, for by yo11r gentle life you have shown us the deepest and richest beauty that can be had in life. Mary Helen Jacobsen Down that long water opening on the deep Somewhere far of, pass on and on and go From less and less and vanish into lightf' This is from one of the Idylls of the Kingv that Mary Helen loved. To those who had the good fortune to know Jake, her death was a great blow. We have deeply missed her in all our class activities, social gatherings, and lunch-time frolics. We miss her sunny way of looking at trouble. She had us chuckling most of the time we spent with her: partly at her own clever wit, and partly because her good humor was contagious. Because of her quiet, modest ways, many of us were unaware of her great strength. She had that rare combination of sympathy and intelligence that inspires true friendship. Mary Helen was lovable and genuine, and because she was such a real person we do not feel that she has left us. Her quiet goodness was a living example of all that our school holds dear, and that example living on has strengthened our faith. She has not gone from us into darkness, but has vanished into light. 1 N 1 Mary Helen Jacobsen Daughter of Mn. AND Mus. CARL J.

With sustaining armor bright as flame We shall win an honored name Forever viewed in halls of fame. On life's toilsome battlefield, To enemies how could we yield With this inscription as our shield- Candide Modo, Fortiter Ren? Sincere in purpose, brave in deed. Through life this shall be our creed, Guiding us from day to day. This armor will be everlasting, and will give Inspiration that will live Throughout the ages. As a sieve It will serve to strain and purify our lives. Our helmet is Truth, our breastplate is Love. They are virtues sent from above. With them deeds of valor are done, Tasks accomplished, battles won. Clothed in this armor one may conquer a band: On one arm the shield, and in the hand A sword of Courage. With this might One could win any fight. Like the gladiators of ancient Rome, Sent forth to a courageous fight, We too shall struggle with valiant might. But they were inspired by fear of doom, While our encouragement is our faith in the r In the arena we too shall be cheered Louder and louder as our goal is neared And as defeat is less and less feared. Through all the combat our spirits will be High, confident, so that all may see We are proud and unafraid To defend the armor for which we prayed, To keep it shining and unstained, Pure and unprofaned. Now unending thanks is due To that noble person who Gave us our shining armor. In he May we always worthy be Of the name of W. T. r sight Miss Mitchell, Victuri te salutamus. 11 ight.

M. 15 v Take It From Us After completing the tedious but pleasant journey upward to the precarious status of Seniors, we, the Class of '43, deem it our privilege and duty to bequeath a few words of wisdom to you, underclassmen, the pillars of Winchester-Thurston. To save you the task of learning by trial and error, we urge you to heed our well-founded advice. Believe us when we say: flj Don't try to chew gum, even Aspergum, in Mrs. Seif's class. It might be worth the effort, but who wants to be called a ruminant? Q2j Try to go to gym at least once a month. The art of playing basket- ball can't be learned in a few easy lessons, and the class games are no time to practice. Take it from those who tried! ' Q3j Don't try to be a second Culbertson during lunch. It isn't at all con- ducive to good digestion. Ask our Gruesome F oursome! C411 Always try to be attentive and co-operative in class meetings. It helps! C51 Be sure, Boarders, to think up some more ingenious methods of sup- plying your midnight feasts. A suitcase full of clothes from mother, the senior suite dumb-waiter to Clyde Street, and the Navy are already being sus- pected! C61 Donit try to make the temperamental clock in Study Hall keep cor- rect time. The results are only aggravating and more distracting. Leave it to Peyton and wear your own watch. Q71 This above all, keep your gentlemen friends away. As much as you and the student body might like a stag line on Fifth Avenue or in the Library, the Faculty does not appreciate it! CSD Register as soon as possible for college unless you want to take a P.G. course at Winchester-Thurston. April of Senior Year is no time to be filling out applications! Q9j Be sure to do your assignments Friday afternoon, not Sunday mid- night. Of course, we did ours Saturday night, but the War may be over by the time you are Seniors! QIOQ And last, start early to get your Yearbook material. Just look at a few of the nervous wrecks in the present Senior Class. 16 .M lust wc cntcrccl thc Vppci' School. llcrc, :ill our talents we did pool And managed to break 'most every rule- Soiiic fun.

CoLon: Turquoise. SYMBoL: Star At a meeting early in March the 'Eighth Grade decided upon their class motto, color, and symbol. The meeting was presided over by our president, Cassie McClements, who has filled her office very faithfully and efficiently all year. This was not an easy job because the class had never before been organized and we did not yield to organization gracefully. We chose a Latin motto, Ad astra per aspera, meaning, To the stars through hardships, because it is symbolic of the efforts and aspirations of everyone in war-time. We are proud that we share this motto with the Royal Air Force. Our color, turquoise, is supposed to bring its wearers good luck. A star, suggesting the highest possible personal ideals is our symbol. To use an old phrase, we are Uhitching our wagon to a star, and we hope to keep that star in sight even though it is obscured occasion- ally by clouds. Thus our class sets itself to higher endeavor, with three constant reminders in our motto, our color, and our symbol.

CoLon: Plaid SYMBOL: Acorn 0 The average girl, on leaving college, has her complete basic training. She has passed those ominous finals and goes forth to meet the trials of life with confidence in her knowledge. How much easier her next steps would be if only she realized her weakness. She has read the books, written the exercises, passed the tests, but isn't there something else-something that cannot be obtained from any book? Yes, there are such things as courtesy, ambition, experience, sportsmanship, just to mention a fewg but possibly these can best be summed up in the one word-wisdom. As students in high school, we look forward with great anticipation to the day when we shall complete our education. That is the moment we work for, hope for, and pray for. Perhaps we, through continued endeavor and diligence, shall be able to prepare for this moment and avoid the usual over-confidence of a school girl. It is to this end that we have chosen our motto.

We, the Sophomore Class, have chosen this motto because we feel that it is a fitting expression of our aims in life. It shall be our duty to help liberate the world from the bonds of chaos and to do this we must employ our knowledge to the best of our ability. Therefore, the knowledge which we have acquired will help us make the future world a better place in which to live. To study and to cultivate our minds is the best way to attain the highest standards of mankind. With knowledge that leads to human understanding the people of the world can discuss problems intelli- gently and settle them peaceably. With knowledge, everyone can play an active part in contributing to a higher civilization. We shall try to live up to our motto with this thought in mindg that we, together with the rest of the freedom-loving people, must do our part in bringing about the glorious age that is to come. J.

There are some things that mere paper and ink cannot re- veal . . . feelings that lie too deeply imbedded in one,s heart to be expressed. Perhaps that is why, in trying to show l1ow much Patty meant to us, we fail utterly to convey our full appreci- ation of her personality and influence upon us. For Patty was all that our school stands for . . . loyal, courageous, and scholarly. She loved Winchester with all her heart, and in her love for school gave to it all the faithfulness and intense devotion that she possessed. Although short, hers was a full life and a rich one. As soph- omore president, Patty's high ideals and earnest integrity raised her class to higher standards. She possessed the rare combination of outstanding leadership and sympathetic under- standing. Her popularity was proven by her prominence in such school activities as sports and music. Perhaps Patty's own life might be compared to the music she loved so well. For she was music-gay, happy music, with deep surging undertones. Her music followed wherever she went, brightening tl1e lives of all who knew her. Patty has not lived in vain nor departed in vain, for in her living and departing she has left behind the very best of her with those she loved. 27 The Iunior Class Morro: Know Something, Do Something, Be Something. Cononsz Sapphire and White. ' SYMBoL: A Mortarboard upon a stack of books. We, the Junior Class of Winchester-Thurston School, who shall fill the place of this year's graduating class, face our Senior year and our uncertain future with a firm determination to make the most of every opportunity presented to us. The majority of us will go on to college to become well-trained, disciplined women of purpose. In shaping our lives for service, we must take advantage of all the learning offered to us. We are the moulders of the future Americag we are the builders of tomorrow's world. We must desire and work to meet these respon- sibilities and to make something of our lives. Therefore, we have chosen as our motto, Know Something, Do Something, Be Something. Our motto is not just a sayingg it is a challenge. We must start now to fulfill its commands. We must study and work, so that, KNOW- ING Som-:'rH1No, we shall be equipped to Do SOMETHING. If we have created within us a strong determination for successful service and if we have prepared ourselves well, we will BE SOMETHING. N.

I Dear Seniors of the Class of 194-3: You are graduating during one of the grimmest times in human history: accept it as a challenge, feel that it is a grand privilege, that you are true to your best self when you can whole-heartedly join your spirit with that of the valiant young soldier-poet who wrote in his dark hour- Set your star, I 0 heart, forever! Yet, behind the night, Waits for the great unborn, somewhere afar, Some white tremendous daybreakff Some of you have read that fascinating book, Epic of America by James Truslow Adams. Do you remember that he closes with the words: The prospect is discouraging today, but not hopeless. We have a long and arduous road to travel we are to realize our American dream in the life of our nation, but if we fail, there is nothing left but the old eternal round. The alternative is the failure of self-government, the failure of the common man to rise to full stature, the failure of all that the American dream has held hope and promise for mankind. Dear young friend, remember now and always, with all your body, mind, and spirit that without great dreams you can never be the woman that God wants you to be-dreams, not of things and their attainment, but of life rich, spacious, usefulg life redolent with the beauty of characterg life vibrant and full, lived in the con- scious presence of God. It is in your young mind that great belief in human life and in its destiny must be born and nurturedg it is in your young heart that the flame of an undying love for God, our country, your fellowmen and yourself must be kept blazing, giving forth not merely warmth but light, it is in your young, strong body that you must allow God free expression to build His temple of the Holy Spirit to guide us all out of the rnaelstrom of war, misunderstandings, and hate into strong channels down which may flow the purifying stream of His redeeming purpose. You are graduating from one field of work. Now you must begin to serve in another. Remember you are not the centre of creation. God is. You are His childg and your highest responsibility, your most glorious privilege is to reveal His life. Do not be content with any lesser loyalty. Dream of God until you see Him in all His love and power, dream of yourself as His child with His purpose for you un- folding itself in you, until you realize that purpose. You have been matched with a great hourg and only the valiant in spirit will be worthy of the challenge, only the true in heart and mind can use it creatively and intelligently. Do not be satisfied with anything save the realization that God dwells in you and flows through you into all that you feel, and think, and do. Along this line lies your God-given destiny. Seize itg cherish it, live it out today and everyday. This is my heartfelt prayer for you now and ever. , Affectionatelg, your friend DEAN Moon 34' Tun Vi-:uv Rn:v11:iucNn DEAN N. R. II.

N- A .. 7 or -' an ia - t Niki' ' ' . C Q Nw, IEW? . Senior Class Motto The subtle thing which we call Time is ever unrelenting. Now we find ourselves at the end of our journey. We are on the brink of a new existence. In recollecting the golden days of our life here, we, at the same time, must brood over the uncer- tainty of the future. Yet that future need not be so formidable, for our Alma Mater has armed us well with knowledge, courage, and the will to serve. If all else leaves us, for sometimes human memory is transient, may we remember the last of these, the will to serveg to serve the world by serving ourselves. Shakespeare epitomizes this in having old Polonius speak this golden advice to his son: This above all: to thine ownself be true And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man. A life, full, brave, and true, is as simple as Polonius states it. Upon cursory examina- tion, this quotation may seem just a practical bit of selfish wisdom. You may say that one must strive for the larger in order to attain the smaller. In other words, a man cannot be true to himself unless he is true to something greater than and beyond himself. However, when Shakespeare says . . . to thine ownself be true . . . , he speaks of the self which embodies the very noblest of element to be found in the inner recesses of man. Why go beyond self when all things great and exalted this world has ever known have been mere replicas and projections of the greatness of some man's soul? Despite outward appearances, all men have somewhere deep within them, the nobler attributes which constitute their true selves and to which they should be true. How true you are to the finest that is in you is a gauge of your worth. Too often people strive to equal the brilliance in others. This rarely leads to happiness as they cannot use that which is not an elemental part of themselves but belongs to others. True, we are not all created equally in mentality, physical makeup, and many other requisites of life, but God has given us all an equal chance to make the best use of what we do have. The man of great endowment must contribute more as befits his ability. Yet, if he does this, he is still no better than another of meagre heritage who also makes use of all God has bestowed upon him. They are comrades on the path of life, and no one can call either the greater man. They have both attained the highest of human achievement in heeding the words . . . to thine ownself be true . . . , and in obtaining the highest for themselves have contributed their capacity to mankind. So it can be said of them, thou canst not then be false to any man . I w.s. COLOR! Dark Green.

To you who are unhappy because of too much work or too much play, we recommend this life as a cure. Here, the unrealized joy of living is obtained by contrast . . . workg playg laughter, tears, gab sessions, silenceg lettersg no letters, food! rxfN Though we sometimes complain, though we pretend to C5 seek other places, deep in our hearts there is a sincere love for the house and all that for which it stands. We shall never forget those hilarious days when, in the YL midst of all our fun, there was being taught us the love of hard work and hard play. Above all we were learn- ing the simple joy of a gentle life from one whose example we hope and strive to follow. At 7:15 A. M. the loud clang of the gong startles us into the realization that a new day has begun, and that fifteen long hours must go by before we can again snuggle into our warm beds. The first movement of each groping hand is to turn on the radio. Each individual then rolls over with a groan just to catch that final wink which she missed because the gong was early. At 7:45, the house comes to life as everyone realizes that the deadline for breakfast is in fifteen minutes. Breakfast over, we go to school to begin another day, still complaining that the gong was early and that if we have a bad day, it won't be our fault. At 1:00 P. M., we fly to the cafeteria to appease our appetites which have been complaining since the next to the last class. But our hunger usually disappears as we watch the more fortunate members open-their -. :- mail-bags and pour the stacks of mail on the Hoor. Seubert, Kay, and 31,3 5 C. H. alternately hit the jackpot. But then, it is a comfort to know that if we don't get any, we don't have to write any! Relieved by this thought, we are able to do justice to the cafeteria delicacies. . . . . 1 0 After two tedious hours of studying, athletics is slated to give our 1 minds a rest. However, the Seniors, tired from s-o-o-o-o-o much work, make rather a poor showing. Neanderthal Nat and her roommate are the only representatives of that notorious Senior stamina. The rest, Seubert, Hulme, and C. H. decide to wait till A tomorrow because their quota of energy for the day has already been spent. After the exertion of athletics, each Gb participant feels it necessary to collapse on her bed, those Q I who do not play also collapse! From 5:00 to 6:15, the House re-echoes with the blar- ing forth of radios the rumbling splash of bathtub water, the ringing of telephones-many are called, but few can hear. The voices are heard of those unfortunates who, cheated of their ten minutes bath time, are trying to break down the door. 65 Dinner at 6:15 is the most orderly part of the day as we gather around the big dining room table to eat. The quiet ends with the meal, for, imme- E -' diately afterwards, everyone madly dashes upstairs to hear Fred Waring or talk over the phone. This is the most dangerous hour of the day for the teachers-in the peril of the thundering herd. 7:15 and evening study-hall with Miss Bortman in charge. Two hours of tying our minds in mental knots. Ho hum! From 9:15 to 10:00, known as' the Children's Hour, there is a hush as one and all prepare for the Land of Nod. Comes 10:15, and lights out. Weary little eyes close and tired little bodies relax. Comes 10:16-lights - , on: weary little eyes open and tired little bodies leap out of bed. Prepara- H tions are made by the Seniors for their nocturnal feast. Casual observers might note a shadowy man, a reasonable facsimile of Mr. 5x5 hovering near the House. Comes the moment when, loaded with cokes and other delectables, which find their mysterious way up the window, the gruesome 5 foursome gather round for the usual gab session. Of course, Henry V. Cfor Victoryl Brown is doing sentinel duty at the door. CA bulldog mascot is a blessingj. The session takes everything into consideration. Wonder what happened to the beautiful Butler High ring B. J. King was wearing? long distance call to Georgia? What will Miss Mitchell do when she sees the telephone bill for a . Who is Sally flove 'em and leave 'emi Rohm's latest flame? . 4 Wonder what became of Hess? 1 Following these discussions, there comes a moment of quiet during which we hear the patter of little C??D feet above us and muffled screams from down the hall. From this we conclude that we are not the sole unsleeping occupants of the House. We kick an ob- ject which we believe is a blanket only to find it is the slumbering Mullane, clad in the traditional 0 flannel night sack and hair net. H ff! Girll Mullane! Fast asleep? It is no matter. iw' - Enjoy the honey-heavy dew of slumber Thou hast no figures nor no fantasies Which busy care draws in the brains of many Therefore thou s1eep'st so sound.

F irst: We give, devise, and bequeath ourselves, both in our organic substance and in our ethereal essence, in short, in our peerless entirety, thankful and pro- foundly grateful, to Miss Mitchell who, alone, could fuse our callous sensibilities with love of higher learning. Second: We give, devise, and bequeath the blessed balm of peace to the faculty who have unflinchingly undertaken the titanic task of disciplining our obstreperous natures, and, we call you all to witness, the success in the above which they have achieved thereby. Third: We give, devise, and bequeath to the undergraduates a portion of our love for this, our school. May you always live up to its exalted aims and cherish all it offers you, a rich heritage indeed for you who, following in our footsteps, must keep the banner flying high, a criterion in a darkened sky. Fourth: We give, devise, and bequeath to the new seniors their happiest year at W. T. Fifth: We give, devise, and bequeath a quiet rest to Mrs. Geise, whose amazing energy is the dynamo which keeps the wheels of W. T. going around. Sixth: We give, devise, and bequeath binoculars, a periscope, and Superman's X-ray vision to the study hall teacher. Seventh: We, as individuals, give, devise, and bequeath the following: Ash ..... leaves her faith to Father Divine Bord . leaves her honk to the geese Ellen . . leaves her bridge playing to Culbertson Chambers . leaves her hair to Veronica Bunny . . leaves- Board of education Delly . leaves the faculty-in nervous prostrations Dizzy . leaves her braces in the cafeteria's macaroni Sally . ..... leaves her nervous energy to Miss Fisher Janet . leaves her letter writing ability along with Lord Chesterton's Bonnie ......... leaves-talking Janet . leaves her jewelry to the scrap collection 72 Sue . leaves her genius to the faculty Peggy . . . leaves her suits to the zoots Gordon ....... leaves with Spurs that jingle-jangle Hahn leaves the red light at the corner of Ellsworth and Morewood still standing Ginger .... leaves her embryo pig to future embryo pig fanciers Ham leaves her laugh to Whirlaway and her figurative language to Miss Philput Moron . .

You remember smiling faces Of girls now in far-off places. Having watched them through the years, Can you speak of their careers? In what distant lands or skies Have you watched their glory. rise? Have they changed from what they were? Tell us lest your vision blurr. Glad am I to tell you this, The fate and fortune of each Miss. Now reflected in my glance . . . Here's what happened, choice or chance. Here I am still cracked. It has been fifteen years since the class of '43 hung me up. That's quite a long time. Yes sir! I have had an interesting reflective life here watching the classes come and go. Every one of them was a good class, but the class of '43 still holds first place in my heart. I suppose you are astonished at that. I will admit that they were rather a tumultuous lot, but you can't say they weren't original. Why, even today they are outstanding throughout the whole country. They are having a class reunion today. Let me show you what I mean. ' Sitting beside me is M. L. Lissfelt, the new President of the League of Women Voters. She seems to be engrossed in a serious conversation with Peg Geltz, the wife of a Kansas Senator. It seems that M. L. is getting rather tired of the Roosevelt Administration and is trying to induce Peg to induce her husband to support her own candidate for the Presi- dency, Her Honor, Mary McCann, Mayor of New York and Champion of the Underdog. C. H. Mullane is in favor of this, for McCann has promised to create new organizations with long names so that Harriet may continue her job of disclosing the meaning of their various initials. M. L. was delighted to hear that McCann would have the support of the two most outstanding women's organizations: The Anti-tobacco League, headed by Mimi Hamilton and the Franchot Tone Fan Club, headed by Anne Dalzell, who still sells men's socks down at Kaufmann's during Christmas Vacations. 75 Monnie Monroe and Kate Howat both are looking cheerful. Monnie is elated by the success of the opening performance of her latest play, She Died With Her Wedgies On, in which she plays the most dramatic role of her career. The audience agreed that the play was a triumph for Monnie and its Author-Producer-Director-Set Designer, Jean Mcllvried. Kate, now happily espoused, attributes her success in marriage solely to Bonnie Dreux's Academy for Hopeful Housewives: Kate remained there for four years taking the full course and a couple of P.G.'s to make sure. When she got out, she was ready to tackle anything . . . and she did!! The whole reunion looks aghast as Sue makes her entrance. No wonder! She is being carried on a stretcher. It seems that she was Dr. Chambers' first patient. When Sue told her that she had very bad headaches, Mary carefully examined the symptoms and went to work on the disturbing element which was found in the patient's foot. After a delicate and unusual operation, she severed the gland, only to discover later that it was Sue's little toe. Thereupon, Adrienne Pigossi's husband was called in to do the reattaching and Mary was sent back to Medical School. This class is not lacking in genius either. Several inventions of theirs have won public acclaim. Dottie fNew Orleansj Dismukes and Jane CArizonaD Gordon have intro- duced the latest thing in transportation: kangaroos with zippers, in which they arrived at the reunion. It seems that Miller's CURE-ALL, PICK-ME-UP TONIC has violated several clauses of the Pure Food and Drug Act. However she is being ably defended by the up- and-coming columnist, Jane Askin, who recently exposed the notorious Ping-pong Racket. I notice beside me the newly-patented Heppenstall-Solomon Chewing Gum Machine which manufactures gum that dissolves at the approach of a teacher. Joan Borden has also done a great service for humanity. Her Sneezing Machine enables the sufferer to blow his nose without disturbing the peace. Shirley Seubert and Mimi Mitchell have just arrived. Dean Seubert has introduced coeducation at Vassar much to Betty Wolf's delight. Now all her children can attend the same institution. Mimi, editor of Lure His Amour With Glamour, or Ask the One Who Owns One,3' is advocating the use of the new McIntyre invention, a combination eyelash curler and potato peeler. Her Lovelorn Editor, Barbara Rush, was not stumped by the recent problem which confronted her. It seems that Bunny Crawford, who has been happily married twelve times, wants to get married again, but hesitates because she does not want that number to bring her bad luck. Babs solved the problem by deciding to revise the numeral system. I regret to say that Joyce Runk and Ace Weisberger are unable to be present. They have been missing for five years, since the time they set out to find Shangri-La in Joyce's new auto-gyro. Barbara Weinberg started, but baled out when she discovered that Ronald Coleman was not accompanying them. She happened to land on a desert island only to find it inhabited by Criss and Chuck who were Uroughing it. Criss said that Mr. and Mrs, Kurt Hunter were 'going to join them as soon as Rosann finished her latest picture, The Flame of the Keeper. 76 Rumor has it that Ginger Hall is fast making a reputation for herself as a talented animal sculptress. Her greatest masterpiece, The Head of a Flea, is unfinished as yet. Maurine Hatman and Joan Price have achieved the inevitable by outdascheying Lily Dache in dashing out smart hats. They have set the fashion by creating a new style that has taken the nation by storm. This hat covers not only the top of the head but the face as well. Thus many hitherto unglamorous unfortunates have attained their ends and have been given a fair chance . . . that is, until they take off their hats. Peg Robinson has come back from her vagrant travels, the purpose of which was to discover the true feeling about Ann Arbor. She brings news of Jocie who is raising her family in Singapore as Johnnie is still there awaiting his transfer. It is too bad that Tabe couldn't make it, but for the last few months she and her Count have been traveling over war-torn Europe, aiding in its reconstruction. She stresses the happiness of youth for the success and well-being of a nation. Peg says her latest speech, Emotional Disturbances and How Not To Have Them, or Why I Was Mis- erable For Fifteen Years has met with instant approval. Peg also says that Missionary Janet Donaldson has done a wonderful job in Africa among the Headhunters. They have not only become civilized but have cultivated a taste for culture. They speak English fluently, are well acquainted with Shakespeare, and even listen to Harry James every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Reports from India are very pleasing. It seems that Sultana Poo-bah Cex- Winny Schultzl has succeeded in converting, or should I say reforming her husband's ideas on a few matters. I don't know how she does it, anyhow Sultan Poo-bah. is now filing sixty- seven suits for divorce. It appears that Speer's horses are getting a complete education. When her colts are of age. Nippie sends them to-Hahn's High School for Horses which is doing a wonderful job of raising the standard of horse-living. ' Ellen Card and Janet Eisenbeis are going to be a little late. They are coming in by plane from California. Ellen's famous Beverly Hills Night Club, The Edgeworthonian is now featuring that sensational songstress, Hildajanette the girl with memory in her voice. When asked how she happened to choose such a name, Eisenbeis replied that it was chosen for her by a nation-wide contest sponsored by Specter's Sneezeless, Swishey, Smooth-as silk Soap Suds. Dr. Sarah L. Doerschuk, the eminent geneticist, who just finished her latest book, Mutations of a Monkey, or From Ape to Man in Ten Easy Lessons, just arrived with her favorite orang-outang. What about their noteworthy President? Ah . . . I regret to inform you that she will not be able, that is, she will not be allowed, to attend the reunion. We weren't sure whether it was the class or Freud that did it, but our beloved Jojo cracked up and is now happily cutting paper dolls at Mayview. Well that is all that I can tell you about the class of '43 for the present. I am keeping my eye on them and if you want to know anything more, come back in a few years. You never can tell what may happen .... 77 Farewell During the last few months, we have had a great time laughing at our past and wondering where we'll all be five . . . ten . . . twenty- five years from now. Our favorite reminiscing has included recalling pranks, the best of which cannot be appropriately detailed on this dignified occasion. We have thought of the future with a sense of nos- talgia, for we realize that we shall not all be together many times again. Glimpses of us together-at our bridge games, which have com- bined the juggling of various types of nourishment and a handful of cardsg in the study hall, where we have been quiet at times, and at oth- ers struggled in vain to keep from making an all important remark to our neighborg in our hours of deep concentration and in those of just as deep conviviality. Each day we have thanked Providence for the op- portunity of enjoying such harmony and happiness in this world of chaos. Little things will keep coming back to us and will associate them- selves always with our W. T. days:-the click of hockey sticks in the crisp fall airg smothered giggles in the afternoon, anywhere from 1:45 to 3:15, the sound of bells and shuffling feet, the fragrance of yellow roses, and the strains of Now the Day Is Over. Above-all, is the memory of two bright, courageous blue eyes which mirror the richest understanding of her girls', and the priceless sense of humor which are our beloved Headmistress'. We laugh with her and we live with her. Without her, we shall try to remember all she has ever said to us, and to live up to the highest goals she and the faculty are helping us to achieve. But we do not feel that Now the Day Is Over. Not really-be- cause we shall carry the memory of each day with us. We shall be back, too, looking at our school with mature eyes and minds. But we shall always see it as it is now, full of fellowship and laughter, teaching each student the highest ideals in living.
