a. THE OAK LEAF PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS OF THE STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS 19 3 5 Foreword J LIST as the oak tree sturdily and staunchly bears up under the strongest wind to become mighty in its triumph, so, too, does the spirit of the State Teachers College prevail over every obstacle. It was this same spirit which moved those of the old State Normal School to adopt the oak leaf as their emblem. In like spirit, we, too, have chosen The Oak Leaf as the most fitting title for this book, the record of the class of 1935. Table of Contents FOREWORD DEDICATION THE BOOK THE COLLEGE SENIORS CLASSES ACTIVITIES FEATURES ADVERTISEMENTS Dedication 1 HESE two veteran teachers have unselfishly devoted their best years to the students, first of the old State Normal School and then of the new State Teachers College. One, by her interest and anxiety concerning our development, inspired in us the aspiration to be teachers such as she. T he other, affectionately known to everyone as “Popf instilled in us an appreciation of the pleas- ure found in contemplating the mysteries of the heavens; as an assiduous supervisor, he revealed to us the pitfalls and the joys of teaching. Because they are leaving us, we wish to assure them of our love and respect; we dedicate this 1935 issue of The Oak Leaf to Miss M. Harriette Bishop and to Mr. Lee Russell MISS M. HARRIETTE BISHOP ( To Dr. Earl B. Shaw 1 OUTH is daring, progressive, and original. What it needs and so often fails to obtain is the understanding and counsel of those older and wiser. We, the staff of The Oak Leaf, have been fortunate in our faculty adviser , Dr. Earl B. Shaw. W it h youthful spirit, resolute courage, and mature wisdom, he has never let us acknowledge anything but success. To Miss Annabel C.

Tracey The College The administration of the State Teachers College at Worcester has planned the students’ training in accordance with the four cardinal aims: Health, Ethics, Culture, and Vocation. Under the guidance of a sympathetic faculty, each student is led through a field of studies which develops sound bodies, instills the highest ethical standards, inculcates the desire for and appreciation of the best, and fosters pride in and understanding of the teaching vocation. The journey ended, the young teacher graduates with a well-rounded personality which will serve her adequately in carrying on the traditions and practices of her chosen profession.

Lanphear We pause upon the brink of sheltered years To gaze afar to where Dame Future rears Her castles turreted. And tho we’re yet safekept by friendship’s band Thru dream-filled eyes we find in that far land The vision beautiful. Beyond the topmost turret rainbow hued. Are clustered in a dawn perfume imbued Bright stars all radiant. And from each star bright fingers tipped with light Stretch out to part for our bedazzled sight The veil prophetical. Thru half-light’s pearly mists ourselves we see. And hear a voice from fancy’s depths decree Our fates all mystical. For some there opens wide the quiet path. The humble task of making home and hearth All peaceful and content. And some, all grace and beauteous of wing, Will find forthwith that life’s a joyous thing To spend full mirthfully. But some will find themselves on barren limb, And some the pools of tragedy must skim, Before they shelter gain. And some with love and learning must impart Rich stores of knowledge to the eager heart Of children wonder-filled. A few. alone, will reach the topmost height; Theirs is the gift in sons of men to light The dream of things untold. A burning flash of light, and all is gone; But in each heart one star from out that dawn Glows on unceasingly. Here in the flow’ry fragrance that is June, The while Commencement sets our hearts atune. We pledge our goal, the stars. We pledge our goal the stars, and pledge here too. Our heartfelt thanks and loving praise to you. Our Alma Mater, dear. And when from out your portals we shall pass, You yet shall live heart-deep in this your class, Your class of thirty-five.

MADIGAN Chairman of Social Committee THE OAK LEAF 32 SYLVIA HELENA ASP Sylvia’s hair is like the light; Bland it is, and a beauteous sight. Combine beautiful blond Hair, a lovely so- prano voice, athletic and scholastic ability, and yon have Sylvia. Who of us has not envied her attractiveness, or her accomplishments in social activities? Surely Sylvia is most deserving of all success that may be hers.

DOROTHY ELIZABETH BAILEY A sweet and graceful lass is she As anyone could hope to see. “Dot”, half of the Bailey-Leone combination, and a pal to all her mates, believes in pre- paredness for every class. On the dance floor, as well as in the classroom, “Dottie’s” sweet per- sonality and dainty poise make her the envy of many. Perhaps the chocolate eclairs have some- thing to do with it, “Dot ’? Batball 2; Gift Committee. RITA MARGARET BANNON Her friends — they are many; Her foes — are there any? Good looks, reliability, and scholastic achieve- ment are not Rita’s sole assets, for who of her many friends can deny her claims of partner to Terpsichore or of sister to Sincerity? Rita’s willingness to help with lessons, clubs, or social activities have given her a permanent place in the hearts of all 35’s.

THE OAK LEAF 33 ELNA BRIGHAM BEMIS Friendly advice she’ll gladly give That will help us as we daily live. Charm! Some strive hopelessly for it, but here is Elna, endowed with a generous heritage of this elusive personality gem. Armed with this potent asset, distinctive poise, attractive feminini- ty, and a jolly good-pal attitude, Elna arrived from Western Reserve. Shortly, so completely melted was our restraint that we eagerly adopted Elna as one of us. Glee Club 4; Captainball 4; Class Day Committee. FRANCES ELIZABETH BIADASZ A student through and through is she ; A great success she’ll surely be. The initiation of Frances into Kappa Delta Pi is sufficient evidence of her scholastic success. Her achievements are especially marked in the mathematical field where she handles the intrica- cies of weighty problems with the ease and deft- ness of a master. May the problems of life, “Frannie”, be solved with just as little difficulty!

BURKE Giggles and laughter are her delight ; They both show her heart is right. You hear someone giggling? It must be “Burkie”, that fun loving classmate of ours who can enliven the dullest moment with her infec- tious mirth. Although shy and modest, “Burkie” is a real pal. This year she became a loyal mem- ber of our volleyball team. May your enthusias- tic good nature enliven all your future activi- ties !

Retiring, yet a leader; feminine, yet a superb athlete; serious, yet a pro- voker of spontaneous laughter; natural and un- affected, yet a brilliant character actress; slim, yet a magnet for mammoth lunch bags. One minute, the dignified President of Student Advis ory; the next, “Penrod” himself. We love con tradictions, “Al”.

ANNA HILDEGARDE CARLSON Some day in the field of art Anna will bestow a part. Perhaps the most talented member of our class — this clever, ambitious, original, artistic, musi- cal, and lovable “Anne” whose management of the Senior Store has been so successful. Such a winning personality could not fail to gain count- less friends. Best of luck for the future, “Anne!” Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4, Librarian 1. 2, 3; Cercle Francais I. 2, 3. 4; Dramatic Club 1, 2, 3. 4; Bach Choir 3, 4; Class Secretary 4; The Oak Leaf, Art Editor. LILLIAN R. CHAFETZ Good things come in packages small; Perhaps a reason “Lil” is not tall. “Li 1 ' has a lovable personality which compen- sates for the smallness of her physical self. Her curly hair and youthful features are a pleasant contrast to her brilliant recitations which identi- fy her as a member eligible for Student Council. As a friend, she’s loyal; as a student, she’s fine; as a classmate, she’s desirable. Surely success will follow our little “Lil . Glee Club 1, 2, 4; Class Day Committee. THE OAK LEAF 35 RUTH FRANCES COBURN As friendly as the day is long. As joyous as a merry song. Whether it be in the classroom with her clr ' er recitations or on the gym floor with her agile movements, “Cobie” excels. Her quick, efficient manner of accomplishing all tasks has marked her as an outstanding Senior. Enthusiastic, gay, good-natured, generous, and ever helpful, “Co- bie” merits the praise and love we give her.

MARY ROSAMOND CUNNINGHAM Here ' s to the songbird of our class. Hers is a voice quite hard to surpass. “Cunnie’s” many lovable qualities have en- deared her to us all, but that quality which is pre-eminent is her friendliness. Aside from her social successes, “Cunnie” is also popular at all musical gatherings, as she possesses a voice of flexibility and clearness of tone. Good luck to you, “Cunnie”, and happiness, too, for you de- serve both. Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Barb Choir 3, 4; Baccalaureate Committee. HELEN SINCLAIR DALY She can dance and harmonize. And her voice she can disguise. Whether you need advice, encouragement, sym- pathy, or support, Helen is ever willing to sup- ply it. How dull school would he without her clever, witty observations on life, professional and otherwise! And what would our program committees do without her original suggestions for entertainment “that is different”? May suc- cess be yours, Helen!

A blessing which comes to only a jew. One of the prettiest, daintiest, and sweetest girls in our class is Madeline, whose artistic and musical ability has so often aided our social activities. Modest, unassuming, sympathetic, and cooperative her worth is justly appreciated by her many friends. Some day, Madeline, may those delightful “party plans” of yours be real- ized !

MARY CATHERINE DERRY To look at the brighti side of life is her plan. She finds happiness wherever she can. An industrious, energetic nature, combined with a mischievous appreciation of the ridiculous, characterize our beloved editor-in-chief. The same enthusiasm she- has shown in the gym and in club activities has accompanied her untiring efforts to make The Oak Leaf, to which she was so devoted, a complete success.

MARIE MADELEINE DU FEE 1 1) Mademoiselle francaise is she; She ' s neat, and petite, and as sweet as can be. Marie, the essence of all that is sweet and gen- tle, will ever remain in our memories as a fine example of real culture. Cordial and gracious of manner, Marie, a diligent student, a fun-lover, and a true friend will endear herself to any group, just as she has endeared herself to us.

Maybe you’ve heard her coin a pun. “Ros” is the girl with the golden hair and neat attire who seems to invite your friendship and admiration whether in the class-room (especially French), on the dance floor, or in any social cir- cle. Rosalind has an individual manner of doing her work in a thorough, dependable way. Cosmo- politan, sophisticated, and cultured is Rosalind; so no dull moments when she is near.

In life she’ll surely find her place. “Finnie” is one of the star athletes in our class. In this field, her height and agility stand her in good stead. More than this, however, Agnes will be remembered as the jolly, happy-go-lucky, sympathetic person, whose carefree counsel and ready smile have helped brighten a gloomy day for many of us.

She welcomes all, whom she may meet. Some would say that “Fitzie” was demure, but we know better. Her mimicry of certain il- lustrious characters, her literary talent, and above all her superb dramatic ability (Who will forget Antipho? ) have made “Fitzie” one of our most prominent members. Remember, “Fitzie”, a smile such as yours has conquered many. Sorores Togatae 1, 2, 3, 4; Cercle Francais 1, 2, 3, 4; The Oak Leaf, Editorial Staff. T HE OAK LEAF ANNA KATHARINE FOLEY We envy her her gracious poise. She ' ll bring her pupils many joys. Tall, dignified, and attractive, Anna soars high in our class. She is charming through and through; an excellent teacher and a fine student. Anna’s friendship is of the most sincere, most sympathetic type — greatly valued by those who have it. Credit, too, to Anna’s “kidding” ability and her “fixing-up” powers! Sorores Togatae 1, 2, 3, 4; The Oak Leaf, Editorial Staff; Glee Club 1, 2. ANN ELIZABETH GAGAN An all-round girl with humor keen, A better sport has ne ' er been seen. A capable president, a talented actress, an all- round athlete, a beautiful dancer, a witty fun- maker, a sympathetic friend, and a good sport — Ann Gagan. In spite of all her achievements, Ann has retained that sterling quality of “natur- alness”. It’s the secret of her popularity, the rea- son we know she ' ll succeed.

Mary is another favorite of the gods — the Roman gods, at least — because she is the star of the Latin class where her accurate translations and brilliant Latin style are, at once, the delight and envy of us all. Moreover, Mary is friendly, fun-loving, and talented. What more could one ask for? Sorores Togatae 1, 2, 3, 4, Proconsul 1, 3; Cercle Francais 1; Dramatic Club 1, 2; Gift Committee.

Edna’s cleverness, initiative, willingness to put her shoulder to the wheel, and her enticing informality have made her a class leader. Star- ring in atldetics, entertaining witli her unaffected comedy, eager to try anything — a few flashes of Edna.

GERTRUDE LAURA GR1EE A humor department all in one; Where “Giddy” is, there ' s sure to be fun. “Begone dull care”, says jolly, good-natured “Giddy”, for her keen wit and sense ol humor allow oidy ‘plaisanterie” as company. This “esprit reveals itself in her friendship, in her ability to prophesy (What a success at the Senior Carnival! I, and in literary productions which have a style “all her own”. Success to her in journalism is our sincere wish. Glee Club 1, 2; Sorores Togatae 2, 3, 4, Aedile 4; Class Prophet; The Oak Leaf, Editorial Staff; Volley- ball 2. HELEN ELIZABETH HALLEORS Conscientiously she works And her duties never shirks. High standing in scholarship, eager participa- tion in all activities, agility in the gym make Helen one of our brightest lights. Helen, too, is the rare possessor of a personality which en- courages friendship and respect. She just can’t he forgotten, for she is an inspiration.

How could our class get along without Char- lotte? The answer is — it couldn’t. For who, but Charlotte, manages so many of our successful entertainments? Who, but Charlotte, is always willing to be master of ceremonies, and who, but she, delights instructors with her brilliant recita- tions? If character spells success, Charlotte, you will reach the heights. Cercle Francais 1, 2, 3, 4; Dramatic Club 1, 2, 3, 4; The Oak Leaf, Business Staff. HELEN THERESE HARRAHY An actress, she, with poise and charm. Her manner, too, is ever calm. “A daughter of the gods” is Helen, for surely, those celestial beings have smiled upon all her undertakings. In the class-room, the gym, and in dramatic activities, Helen has won the laurel wreath of victory. May we say also that Helen’s popularity is as deep-rooted as her academic standing.

A personality which makes one excel at socials and in the classroom explains our deep attach- ment to Helen.

DOROTHY ELIZABETH HIGGINSON Charm and beauty and intellect, too. Place this girl among the few. A vivacious young lady with bobbing black curls, wistful blue eyes, and a mischievous smile, awakes our admiration as she passes by, laughing merrily with a group of friends. With such a de- lightful personality, at once dignified and lov- able, sympathetic and gay, studious and fun- loving, “Dottie” merits her bountiful share of popularity, success, and charm.

With physical perfection, alertness of mind, and a wholesome serene philosophy on life, Charlotte is the embodiment of the ideal Ameri- can girl.

Steinhilber THE OAK LEAF 55 Class History By Sadie H. Pilibosian T) eginning inconspicuously as Freshmen in September 1931, about eighty un- assuming individuals trudged up St. Ann’s Hill to attend State Normal School. On the beautiful campus, we were given an impressive but delightful reception by the faculty and upperclassmen with whom we thus made our first contacts. Hardly had we become accustomed to our old-new surroundings when we heard rumors and then actual reports of the move to be made to our new and permanent home. During the Christmas vacation, all the moving took place and not one of Miss Fitch’s books was left behind. We returned to school. How delightfully was our first week in the new building spent exploring every nook and cranny of this grand structure! Late in April the school was formally dedicated with leading educators of the state and city present. Besides the customary social activities of the school, our participation in extra activities as a class was limited during that first year. We did, however, acquire the “spread” fever which has become a lasting part of our class program. As our sophomore year began, we added a little dignity to our bearing by elect- ing the following as our class officers: Helen Harrahy, President; Margaret Power, Vice-President; Rosemary Mitchell, Secretary-Treasurer; and Ann Gagan, Social Chairman. Under the direction of Alice Madigan, with the aid of Anna McAvov, the school enjoyed one of the spookiest of ghostly Hallowe’en Parties. Also the class was the sponsor of one of the most successful “Bridges” ever held during the school year. All of us will remember the daintily printed tickets made for us by one of our class artists — Anna Carlson. Members of the class began participating in club activities with much ardor; they took part in the Dramatic Club play “The Sleeping Beauty”, became members of the Latin, French, and Glee Clubs, and re- ceived great plaudits as volleyball champions. Along with all this, we cut up frogs and knees to fill up our unoccupied time. In the spring, we made use of our new college fireplace by having a “weenie roast” and a general good time. Towards the close of the second year, our class enjoyed a most pleasant outing in South Lancas- ter, at Dr. Winslow’s home, at which time we celebrated the award of a Ph.D. degree to Dr. Winslow by Clark University. Finally, we learned that Mr. Jesse W. Hubbard, our geography instructor, was to retire from teaching; all of us felt the loss to the school. With the opening of our junior year, we held new class elections, a id had at this time the following at the helm: Ann Gagan, President; Margaret Power, Vice- President; Hazel Randall, Secretary-Treasurer; and Mary Power as Social Chair- man. Helen Harrahy was chosen as our representative to the Student Advisory Council during the annual election. Too, we welcomed to our school Dr. Earl B. Shaw who has been greatly esteemed as an instructor and a friend to all. How- ever, from our own ranks we missed several of our classmates, among them Marion 56 THE OAK LEAF Birbara, Elizabeth Grogan, Louise Leonard, Anna McAvoy, Esther Newton, Harriet Oswell, Adeline Rogers, Miriam Rowley, and Mary Zambarano. Among the first of our activities was a financially successful food sale managed by Charlotte Hoyt. Lo and behold, as juniors, we Were invited to go into the schools of the city to apprentice. What did it hold for us? At first some of us were bewildered, but later as the number of duties a mere apprentice must perform began piling up on us, we were too busy to know that we were bewildered; thus with diaries, platform exercises, papers to correct, various aims to discover for our plans, and exceptional children to deal with, our first half year passed until the time for our own Junior Prom approached us. Luckily, we had a capable Social Chairman in Mary Power who, with the aid of diligent members of the class, managed an unusually fine prom despite the few mishaps occurring here and there. None can deny that some especially lovely gowns were to be seen at the Prom. Hardly had we recovered from one momentous affair when another was gently but firmly thrust upon us — - Junior Week! Under the capable leadership of our chairmen for the different committees — Lillian Chafetz, Monday; Agnes Steinhilber and Judith Nilson, Tues- day; Dorothy Higginson, Wednesday; and Charlotte Hoyt, Thursday — what plans, revisions, rehearsals, and activities were to be produced! With the arrival of the fateful Monday, we donned our pastel colored dresses, chosen by the committee composed of Madeline Dargin, Barbara Newhall, and Mary Reardon, and labored over by our willing but harassed mothers; up the aisle we marched, and after the morning exercises, sang our class song, the words of which were written by Lillian Chafetz and the music by Agnes Steinhilber, and thus began one of the most success- ful Junior Weeks ever held. Shall any one of us forget the superb acting of the cast of “Quality Street 1 led by Helen Harrahy and Helen Haskins, the rhythmic dancing and soothing music in “The Japanese Girl”, the able oratory of Rosemary Mitchell in the “Campaign of 1810”, the sturdy and determined acting of our “Little Citi- zens”, and the spread which was climaxed with the eating of pickles and ice-cream? Besides this, the marriage of two of our classmates was announced to cap all things - Ruth Cromack who became Mrs. R. Smith, and Myrtle Crosby who is now Mrs. B. Hamilton. In the middle of May, our class was given ' further honor by being asked to direct the annual gym exhibition. How important and conspicuous was the class of 1935 growing to be! They had started so inconspicuously in September, 1931. On the twenty-eighth of May the first May Festival was held at the College, and all of us remember with pride our own representative — Catharine Tracey. With the approach of Commencement, our class began to be busy with our share in the I ribute Day Program, the laurel chain which Ruth Coburn, Alice Cahill, Alice Madigan, and Sadie Pilibosian with others worked so hard to con- struct, and then final examinations which marked the official end of our Junior Year. Last September we chose the following as our class officers: Ann Gagan, Presi- dent; Agnes Einneran, Vice-President; Irene Sullivan. Treasurer; Anna Carlson, Secretary; and Alice Madigan, Social Chairman. We were happy to welcome THE OAK LEAF 57 among us the Elementary Seniors from whose numbers we gained another May Queen Attendant, Franc es Magee, and completed our list of volleyball champions by adding Helen Hehir to the group. Much aid and class cooperation have been given to us by our new classmates. We did note the loss we had in the departure from this school of Ruth Dulfy, Mary Foley, Barbara Newhall and Lilyan Trotsky. We elected Alice Cahill, Margery Mayers, and Sadie Pilibosian as senior representatives to the Student Advisory Council, and Alice Cahill was elected Presi- dent of that body. Immediately, some of us were invited to attempt to teach in the Training School ; all year, some of us have struggled, some gloried, others deplored, in this attempt, but all of us admit we have had fine inspiration in our teaching because we had Miss Myra A. Fitch to aid and encourage us. Quite early in the year, we began to hear about caps and gowns, and during Senior Week which seemed to leap upon us without any warning, we gained full dignity by wearing them. Not one of us felt that we could outdo ourselves after Junior Week, but like everything else we have attempted, we began rather slowly and unobtrusively, and then produced something which surprised even our own members. Everyone agreed to the laudable merits of our well-known actresses and our newly-discovered actress, Mary Fitzpatrick, in “Mr. Pirn Passes By”, directed by Hazel Randall. The impressiveness of “Wheels that Make the World Go Round”, directed by Irene Sullivan, the beauty in singing of the operetta “The Village Blacksmith”, directed by Mary Kane, the hilariousness of “Manners and Modes”, directed by Margaret Power, and the dignity and simplicity of the “Portrait of the Class of 1935” as planned and directed by Margery Mayers — all contributed ' to the varied programs of the week. Our class proved its worth, beyond all doubt, when it revived the long forgotten and difficult task of publishing a yearbook. Wisely, we chose Mary Derry as Editor-in-Chief with the following as her staff: Josephine Lensky, Asso- ciate Editor; Margery Mayers, Business Manager; Alice Madigan, Advertising Manager; Edna Granger, Activities Editor; Anna Carlson, Art Editor. Little did we know the amount of effort it would cost this enterprising and original staff, but courageously it set out to procure funds for the book. We were aided greatly by the Bridge which was conducted under the leadership of Ruth Coburn. But chief of all, in the amount of pleasure it gave to us and to our friends, we were greatly benefited by the Senior Carnival under the general and able supervision of Margery Mayers with the aid of the following committee-heads: Frances Biadasz, Edith Johnson, Mary Kane, Rosemary Mitchell, Hazel Randall, and Sadie Pilibosian. Proud are we of Frances Biadasz, Helen Hallfors, Helen Harrahy, Margery Mayers. Rosemary Mitchell, Irene Sullivan, Catharine Tracey, and Helen Tracy who were chosen to become members of the Kappa Delta Pi honor society. Our career in Worcester Teachers College has ended with Commencement and the Senioi 1 rom. We know that the same friendly ties which have banded us together in the past four years will continue to hold us together in the future.

Turn the conversation to the business oi teaching — outside the professional ranks — and what do you find? When you’ve been led the wearied round of time-worn argument, when you’ve been almost buried beneath criticisms — the unfavorable ones seem mountain-high — when it seems as if the subject is exhausted, somebody is sure to hold up the lure of “service” and “the world of good a teacher can do.” Is it any wonder that the teacher is portrayed as a lofty, inhuman sort of individual when she is so objectively discussed? And the children — they’re sure to be listening in on some of these grown-up talks — how they must resent “being done good to.” Not that the ideal of service has gone out of existence — it hasn’t — but it has retreated to the innermost depths of our hearts, and in its place we flaunt the more inviting word — cooperation. For after all, if we are really to help people — whatever their ages may be — we must invite mutual respect, and under what better guise can this be done than that of cooperation, of friendship? Since the teacher has in reality come down from her pedestal, since teacher and pupils have discovered each other, since the spirit of cooperation and friendliness have humanized the classroom, why not make the world aware of the fact? We hear the expression “educating the parents” — here is a chance to make it actuality. Let us give one of our first lessons to the vocational guide. If these worthy counselors in discussing teacher prospects can be persuaded to add to their list of material advantages and disadvantages the mutual benefits, the rich opportunities in pupil-teacher friendships — and children are the best friends one could have — ' the first step in presenting the teacher to the world as a really human sort of person will be in part accomplished. Teacher! It is our title now — ours to accept or reject. But whatever our final choice may be. let us cultivate a friendly concept of the teacher. THE OAK LEAF 61 Ivy Address R. Agnes Finneran After four years at State Teachers College, we have learned, among other things, that “To serve is to love”. We appreciate all that lias been done for us, and now we have decided to leave behind us a humble memorial. It is quite fitting that when one departs, one should leave behind some little re- minder for those who follow. The customary choice is a very humble plant. It has not entrancing beauty, yet it possesses qualities that make it characteristic of the graduate. 1 mean the quali- ties of climbing and spreading, yet ever clinging to that which helps it attain its destiny. Let us hope and trust that this little plant will be symbolic of the class of ’35, that it means to climb and spread, yet ever cling to the teachings and traditions of S. T. C. When, at some future date, this class gathers for a reunion, our ivy may have grown to such an extent that it may add to the friendliness that already enshrouds the room of Dr. Averill where we have spent much of our time. If it follows the ideals and ambitions of our class, in future years when you re- turn to the halls of our college, you will find that our ivy has spread its glossy leaves over much of the building. And now we shall set the ivy upon its mission. In a few days this sturdy little plant will be to you who stay behind only another reminder of the class of ’35; to us it will always be a pleasant memory. THE OAK LEAF College Song Hail to Teachers College fair Hail our beacon ' s light so rare. Loyal daughters sing Loving praises ring.

Cahill Vice-President Mary D. Mahan Secretary Margaret S. Bain The Student Advisory Council began its first year in its present form in Septem- ber, 1933. The purpose of the Council is to act in an advisory capacity between students and faculty. Its members are girls of high scholastic standing who have been elected by their respective classes. Its three seniors, two juniors, and two sophomores act with a member of the faculty who is elected by ' the student body at large. Since the original group had to formulate the Constitution for the Council, early efforts on the part of the organization were largely experimental. Some of its most important accomplishments are the following: the production of the Stu- dent Handbook; the redecorating of the Girls’ Rooms, with the cooperation of the Welfare Board; revision of qualifications for delegates to the New York Conference; school quarterly. Membership: Alice M. Cahill ’35, Sadie H. Pilibosian ’35, Margery B. Mayers ’35, Inez A. Drawbridge ’35, Margaret S. Bain 36, Mary D. Mahan ’36, Florence C. Storer ’37. Faculty Adviser: Edmund C.

Membership is limited to a small selected group of juniors, seniors, and graduates who have made conspicuous records in scholarship, professional development, and educational leadership. The Alpha chapter of the society was installed at the University of Illinois, in June, 1911. The chapter at the State Teachers College, which is the ninety-fourth chapter, is designated as the Gamma Chi and was in- stalled in March 1, 1935. Membership: Anna F. Broderick ’32, Ruth E.

T HE OAK L E A F Dramatic Club President Vice-President . . Secretary T reasurer Faculty Advisers Helen T. Harrahy Helen L. Crahan Mary C. Derry Ethel E. Fisher Miss Ethel Larm Miss Gertrude V. Wheeler The Dramatic society was organized in 1928 and has since been instrumental in encouraging dramatic talent and in providing profitable entertainment both for its members and the entire school. Membership is limited to fifty upper classmen, and eligibility is placed on a scholarship basis coupled with dramatic talent, although there is a recent tendency to remove the honorary qualification and to open the society to those who possess promise in dramatics, irrespective of scholastic standing. The society fosters interest in the current theater, sends delegates to worthwhile local productions, sponsors lecturers who are identified with amateur and profes- sional dramatics, produces plays, and for the past two years has competed in the Worcester Drama League Contest. The club wishes to produce better plavs and more of them. It is the aim of the organization that each play be an artistic and finished production. THE OAK LEAF 79 “THE INTIMATE STRANGERS” “The Intimate Strangers” by Booth Tarkington, under the direction of Miss Grace Mooers, kept an appreciative audience constantly amused and in suspense because of the originality of the theme and the clever character interpretations of the actors. The romance of Isabel Stuart (Helen T. Harrahy ’35), who deliberately adds years to her age in order to test the intentions of her cautious suitor Mr. Ames (Marthajane Mitchell ’37), becomes very exciting and mirthful. Commendable support was contributed by the grandniece (Mary L. Power ’35 I and her suitor (Ann E. Gagan ’35), Mattie (Charlotte S. Hoyt ’35), the aunt (Catharine E. Tracey ’35), the station master (Ruth E. Goldberg ’36), and Henry (Loretta M. White ’36 ) . “THE TWELVE POUND LOOK” Sir James M. Barrie gives to us a one act play revolving about the conceit and smugness of a too successful husband, Harry Sims (Florence Goodman ’36) whose wife, Catherine Sims (Florence M. Ahern ’37), divorces him taking with her only a typewriter and twelve pounds. Still as smug and complacent as ever, his conceit is finally shaken when his second wife, Lady Sims (Alice M. Cahill ’35), asks, “How much do those things — those typewriters cost, Harry?” The supporting cast included the announcer (Ethel E. Fisher ’36) and the butler (Hester T. Chisholm ’36). Its success was due to the players’ realistic interpretation of their roles, and to Miss Ethel Larm’s capable directing. THE OAK LEAF Glee Club President Helen S. Daly Vice-President Catharine E. Tracey Secretary-Treasurer Salvia H. Asp Marjorie E. Smith Librarians - MARJORIE PRESCOTT ' Marjorie Chamberlain Director Miss Grace A. Kendrick The Glee Club provides an opportunity for aesthetic and emotional expression to those not so rifted as solo singers. During one of its shorter rehearsals, its members are carried through the romanticism of Liszt’s Liebestraum to the majestic atmosphere of Franck’s 150th Psalm, thence to the swift merriment of Robertson’s Hear the Sledges with the Bells. Every spring, the Glee Club gives its regular public concert. This year, our club combined with the Clark University Glee Club. For their own part on the program, the members presented in excellent form “A Festival Cantata” from the music of Bach and Handel. For special programs, the club keeps on hand a repertoire of a variety of the best music suited to programs for welfare schools, charitable organizations, superintendents’ meetings, and radio broadcasts. THE OAK LEAF 81 At the graduation exercises held June 12, 1934, this organization made a mo st auspicious debut. Since that time, it has participated in a Christmas Radio Broad- cast, assisted with carol singing, and provided assembly programs. In keeping with their dignified activities, the choristers have donned the most striking costumes, consisting of long black robes, decorated with bright blue stoles. It is, the aim ol this group to study more deeply the chorales of Bach, as well asi other outstanding works, and to interpret them in the most fitting manner. Members: Sylvia H. Asp, Anna H. Carlson, Mary R. Cunningham, Helen S. Daly, Mary E. Kane, Gertrude J. Joh nson , Gertrude L. Sullivan ’35; Bettie J. Belk, Elizabeth M. Derby, Claire M. Leonard, Rachel M.

We might get a glimpse of “les danseuses sur le pont d’Avignon” or we might hear the Norman peasants singing “La Normandie”. Perhaps it will be the lyric poetry of Hugo or Lamartine, the sweet music of Debussy or Chopin that will delight us. All provide us with a social and cultural background of France and help us to perfect our conversation, since French is the language spoken. Another opportunity offered by this group is the presence of the members at the meetings of the Alliance Francaise to hear interesting and dis- tinguished speakers. These advantages develop a keen appreciation of the attitudes and institutions of France. THE OAK LEAF Sorores Togatae Consul Proconsul Scriba-quaestor Faculty Adviser Helen E. Hallfors Kathryn N. Dooley . . . Elizabeth Cole Mr. Francis L. Jones The “Sorores Togatae” invites Latin students every month to attend its social gatherings. The interesting feature of this organization is that it transports us into an age and country of togas to give us an insight into the lives, language, reli- gion, customs, and habits of the Romans. What student has not been filled with awe at a Roman banquet or Roman wedding? What stude nt has not been delighted by the “Phormio” of Terence? Dramatic presentations and readings provide this broad view of the life of an ancient people. lifts 84 T HE OAK LEAF Quarterly Review Editor-in-Chief Literary Editor Associate Literary Editor . .

Catharine E. Tracey, 1935 May Queen makes her appearance. Our eyes are unwillingly drawn from the newly crowned queen, and we center our attention on her attend- ants, who represent their various classes. Madeline Dargin, Secondary Senior repre- sentative; Louise Norberry, Elementary Senior choice; Margery Smith, Secondary Junior; Elizabeth Benedict, Secondary Sophomore; Gladys Clark, Elementary Sophomore; Anna L. McClintock, Secondary Freshman; and Marjorie Marchant, Elementary Freshman receive acclamation which is eclipsed oidy by that accorded the Queen. This year our May Festival, planned and directed by the Secondary Sophomores, was held on Friday, May 17. A pageant adapted from William Morris’s “Sigurd, the Volsung”, a Scandinavian, folk tale, was presented. The appearance of the newly elected Queen as Princess Brunhilde accompanied by her attendants, was, needless to say, the highlight of the afternoon. It climaxed a fortnight’s impatient waiting for the results of the annual May Queen election by the student body. To finish an afternoon of beauty and gayety, the graduating class was tendered a tea in the College cafeteria by the Sophomores, the gracious hostesses of the day.

These captains acl as aids to our athletic director. Miss Ruth Atkinson. Upon them rests the responsibility of choosing teams for participation in inter-class tournaments throughout the year. SHUTTLECOCK AND TENIQUOIT The doubles tournaments in shuttlecock and teniquoit are looked forward to eaca year with interest and enthusiasm. In these sports many of our classmates have shown their skill and ability. As freshmen, Alice Madigan and Helen Tracy en- tered the champion ranks by winning the shuttlecock tournament. Edith Johnson and Anna McAvoy proved their superiority as teniquoit players in our sophomore year. Last year Edna Granger and Helen Hehir made an outstanding record by winning both teniquoit and shuttlecock championships. Only the teniquoit tourna- ment was held this year, and again the Granger and Hehir team was victorious in retaining its title. Row I — Edith M. Johnson. Helen D. Hehir. Alice M. Madigan.

This group meets every other Monday and gives the girls an opportunity to perfect themselves in these activities. At the Athletic Exhibition held in March, these girls display their talents for the enjoyment of the faculty and students. ALL-STAR AND ALL-SCHOOL VOLLEYBALL Who will ever forget the exciting games played for the All-School Champion- ship title ! Every year the most prominent member of each class team is chosen as a repre- sentative on the All-Star Volleyball Team. Membership on this team is the goal of every player in the school, and attainment of this honor is one of the greatest in our college athletics. The All-Stars compete with the Inter-Class Champions for the coveted title of All-School Champions. As sophomores, our volleyball team made a distinguished record by winning the Inter-Class Championship and then defeating the All-Star Team, thus gaining the coveted title of School Cham- pions. Our smoothly working team was unmatched in competition, and we estab- lished a record which has been unsurpassed during our college earner. Members of the winning team were: Mary E. Zambarano, Ann E.

Long recog- nized as a superior group. Miss Griff offers sufficient evidence to prove the preeminence of this selective minority. Dorothy Pierce returned to her Alma Mater as Head Supervisor for bewildered appren- tices. Miss Pierce says, As a member of the Elementary Class I missed the Training School. Hence, my choice of profession.” Worcester ' s unemployment has decreased 30%, because of the increased business at the Novelty Factory owned by our Dorothy Simpson. The Simpson specialty is a dainty May basket with an original verse on it, written by Dot. Ann Gagan has replaced the popular Arthur Dean. Her pamphlets on “How to be Pop- ular” and “Getting Along with People” will be sent to all ’35’s free. In her spare mo- ments, Ann endorses Grape Nuts for the maintenance of vivacious youth. Lil Chafetz is directing her own play, “The Relief of Boredom” on Broadway. The theme of the play is that a man’s chief pleasure should be his work. She is the Todd lecturer for 1943. We understand Edith Johnson is carving a name for herself as a famous woman sur- geon. The wonders she accomplishes are far beyond most of us — fortunately. See where Ann Foley is the head of the “Finishing School for Discriminating Girls.” For every type of finishing, there couldn’t have been a better choice. Dorothy Lamphear has moved to the North Pole so that she might more conveniently become the magnanimous assistant of the popular Santa Claus. Th e benign spirit orig- inated at the French Club and Training School at S.T.C. “Cobie’s Girl Camp” directed by Ruth Coburn in Newport. R. I., assembles the debs of the day, so that they may benefit from Cobie’s effervescent pep. After the swimming lessons. Miss Coburn herself directs the girls about their coiffures. Dot Bailey and Connie Leone are partners of a Chain Candy System, controlling branches all over the country. One male purchaser said that if the candy stayed as sweet as the girls, success was inevitable. The Biology department at Yale has Helen Hallfors specializing in the dissection of frogs. See the “Classical Journal” for her articles entitled, “Ancient Versus Modern Amphibia.” Katharine Cornell has retired! Helen Har- rahy takes this talented actress’s place in the hearts of all. Rhythmically, she states: “If people now recognize me, I owe it to S. T. C. and D. D. D.” - A Whitinsville girl has captured the Na- tional Motorcycle Championship! Bernice Tay- lor broke all speed records, leaving a trace of dust behind her. Bern believes in having an aim for her speed. Edna Granger has become principal of schools for the development of immigrants. The only thing Edna fears is that she may develop a slight foreign accent. ■ Rita Bannon conducts a Correspondence Dancing School. Tired by many years on Broadway, and eager to express herself in writing. Miss Bannon is characterized as “Terpsichore’s Daughter.” The radio pro- gram explains the word to the public every Saturday night over Station Hi-De-Ho. Charlotte Halpin has opened a store of properties and costumes for every type of play. The Halpin slogan is, “Ready, Reliable, Regalia.” 94 THE OAK LEAF One thousand dollars has been invested in toys by Fran Biadasz for her Child Guidance Clinic, which is endorsed by famous psy- chologists everywhere. “Love can wait,” maintains this psychiatrist. “My career comes first.” Let Sadie Pilibosian solve your heart troubles. Her “Advice to the Lovelorn” has shown the correct path to many, and “Send V our Sorrows to Sadie” has long surpassed Dorothy Dix. - ¥ Alice Cahill has just completed her third book on the “Systematization of Your Note- Book.” The book contains sections on “The Art of Studying” and “How to Take Notes Properly.” Every library should be without this book. - Agnes Finneran is the most attractive prison matron history records. Prisons are now overcrowded, and Agnes is debating about that Hollywood offer. Mary Mahoney is the director of the Bel- mont Institution for the Insane. Maybe you ' ll see her some time! -Sf Don’t miss the Power Sister Act! Mary recites verses to the accompaniment of Peg’s cello. You’ve probably heard them on Fred Allen’s program — before the gong rang. -- ■ Helen Tracy is modelling in a Fifth Avenue Smart Shop. Helen makes up for her quiet days with active nights and knights. Mary Derry is a prominent publisher. Miss Derry bans all literature which does not con- form to the very highest standards and ideals. You can imagine how busy she is. - The only female baseball player — Mary Garfield! Mary’s main regret is that baseball has made her neglect her missionary work in Africa. Rosa Quinn is producing evidence on the moot question, “Did Nero fiddle while Rome burned?” Rosa said that the tune resembled that of “Scotland’s Burning,” but this is purely theoretical as yet. $ $ $ $ Helen Hehir is teaching gracefulness for awkward adolescents. The course includes ballet dancing and rope walking, especially for those lads whose voices are changing. ■ Mary Cunningham’s sweet, gentle voice makes her the “Lullabye Lady” of the Con tented Hour. All the cows for this perfect milk come only from Blackstone. - ■ As a Pt ima Donna, Mary Kane is flashing her blue eyes at the audiences in the Metro politan Opera House. Taxis have replaced the busses which were formerly so important to Mary. Josephine Lensky is the stylist for Para- mount studios. Watch for her next creat ons in the Time s. Jo has been acclaimed the “best dressed woman” of the year. Hawaii claims Helen Daly as its prize teacher. Helen teaches to the accompani- ment of Hawaiian music, and every child in the class is getting excellent training in rhythm. Madeline Dargin is a recognized des : gner of dance orders for all college? in the U. S. She meant to end this after her Senior Prom, but Fate wouldn’t allow such long experience to pass unnoticed. - Congresswoman Rosemary Mitchell is as- tonishing the Senate with her reorganization plans. The House admits that Miss Mitchell’s classical references make her most likely to become its leader. ifr Lois Jordan and Mary Reardon are danc- ing with Fred Astaire. Astaire doesn’t know it, but both girls are really stealing the show from him. Hazel Randall is librarian at Harvard, and her system shows great improvement over that of former years. What system? - • Judith Nilson is now with Barnum and Bailey’s as a trapeze performer. She is also working on her own biography entitled, “Without the Greatest of Ease.” One of the best beauty shops in Chicago is run by Helen Haskins. Helen gives per- manents and haircuts only under scientifically and objectively controlled conditions. THE OAK LEAF 95 A1 Madigan is twisting the baton for the snappiest orchestra the Cocoanut Grove has ever had. Al’s popularity was never confined strictly to girls, anyway. The aviatrix Rose Sousa claims she likes flying, because she likes to be over people. In college days, she was quite interested in engineering, too. - ■ The explorer Charlotte Hoyt has just re- turned from Australia where she made a de- tailed study on the “Influence of Winds on Life and Habits.” Miss Hoyt, however, still keeps a certain Saturday night engagement faithfully. Do visit Margaret Ruddy’s knitting estab- lishment she calls “Everything to Nit-Wit.” Plenty of “yarns” of all types, too! - Frances Magee is posing for artists in Italy. Her classical, chiseled face is the aim of every art enthusiast. Elna Bemis is sailing over the seas study- ing monsoons and other climatological in- fluences. After this trip Miss Bemis will re- sume her professorship at Clark University, Worcester. Daily crowds are seen at Catharine Tracey’s “Literary Salon” in Paris. Madame Ram- bouillet’s successor is a prominent figure in Parisian society, and Miss Tracey plans to open other salons on the continent. • A woman is now the Mayor of Boston. The seed sown in S. T. C. soil was planted in good soil, and Margery Mayers is reaping the harvest, for she is the Exalted City Man- ager. - - Edith Warden is having great success with her social high school. She makes the bash- ful student bold, the retiring maiden forward, and the wall flower a night-blooming cereus. - - Bessie Savatsky runs a Teaching Agency in a neat, efficient office. When interviewed, Bessie said. “We’ve forgotten there was a de- pression. My difficulty is in finding teachers for jobs, not jobs for teachers.” • Dorothy Higginson has been awarded the Nobel Prize for her thesis, “Personality in Geography and History.” Dot always inter- wove her own sweetness in her copious note at S. T. C. Agnes Steinhilber’s known German oper- etta. “Weh 1st Mir” (Woe is Me), is being revised for radio broadcasts. Believe it or not, Agnes did not use one book lor inspira- tion for this immortal theme. Venice, Italy, claims a new genius — Anna Carlson. Art, music, and classical readings — all have ample room in Ann’s individual studio. What’s more, Anna still is a friend of friends. Mary Saber has just opened a school for dramatics, her source of inspiration being an interest in every type of person. High school graduates become actors and actresses under Saber instruction! - ■ Calculus has now faded from the pages of history, for Irene Sullivan ' s new geometric and mathematical innovations are undoubt- edly superior. Note especially the section on “Methods.” - Mary Fitzpatrick is New York’s leading woman lawyer, especially in the Domestic Court of Relations. Her Ciceronian argu- ments and her oratorical ability account in great measure for her success. - Mary McKenna, Eddie Cantor, and Jack Benny will be in a program together over NBC network. Don’t miss the “Sunshine Cracks.” Since she has won in the Sweepstakes, Rosalind Fine has decided to enjoy the rest of her life in leisure. “It is an art,” claims the golden-haired millionairess, “to do noth- ing gracefully, but my long study in this field has finally led to perfection.” The Economic Edict Bureau publicizes the prominent Mildred Nally Theory, which rea- sons: If life begins at 40, and Townsend pensions one off at 60, what is the use of living before 40? Sylvia Asp, captain of the All-American Hockey Team, plans to uphold the colors of Uncle Sam in the next Olympics. Follow that golden trail to victory, Sylvia! 96 T II E OAK LEA F That fine breed used in horse races all over the world conies from the Blue Grass Region of Kentucky. They hear the famous brand of “A. Wightman,” the name of their in- imitable raiser. Margaret Burke is the well-known lifeguard who has just finished swimming the Red and White Seas for the third time. Patriotic “Burkie” is now looking for the Blue Sea. Marie Dufleid, head governess for the French Premier’s family, is hobnobbing with the nobility. Nor did she discontinue the translation of those old French manuscripts. Mrs. Ruth Redican is now Ruth Redican, Ptt.D. after several years of research and ex- perience in the field of that ever-valuable subject of Domestic Science. Class of ’35, it’s up to you to make these dreams of mine come true! THE OAK LEAF 97 Class Will We, the Class of 1935. being dignified, of sound mind and accurate memory, in order to form a secret treaty and insure a remembered past do hereby make, publish and declare this our last will and testament, and do will and bequeath the following: To the Faculty: Our heartfelt appreciation for their unfailing efforts to make us professionally fit.

To the Graduate Students: Ample study periods in which to sandwich extra courses. To the Juniors: (1) The dread terror inspired by the mention of City Exams. (2) Our unequaled ability to maintain quiet in the psychology lab. while writing up experiments. (3) The advice to carry on class meetings as calmly and efficiently as we did ours. To the Sophomores: For their approaching apprenticeship our ability to write perfect lesson plans. To the Freshmen: The nonchalant attitude of Seniors when their names appear on the bulletin board. To the Class of 1939 upon whom we have never bent our kindly glance: Our deep sense of duty and our exhausting enthusiasm. As Individuals We Bequeath the Following Items: Sylvia Asp leaves her unswerving judgment in selecting smooth dancers for escorts.

Hazel Randall My gosh! Mounting Sintra VOL. I JUNE, 1935 NO. 1 Bigger and Better Why should seniors be limited to only 20 pupils in a class and to only 9 weeks of practice teaching in the training school? We are being deprived of our just rights to show our powers as embryo teachers. Moreover, with the background of our Junior appren- ticeship, we can ably control at least 50 pupils. Furthermore, we should have every elementary grade represented and Junior High if possible. In addition, there should be personal and undeviating supervision for every apprentice at each and every lesson — and more confer- ences for inspiration. As conditions stand, some 30 pupils (50-20) are denied the par- taking of the teaching of youth to youth. The moral is, gentle readers: Since we cannot have an ideal training school, let us abolish the whole thing. Restroom Roomers What out-of-town Holy Cross boy has not been out with Helen Tracy? We wonder if the “restroom” really is one. Whose heart throb is that good looking Clark boy who sings in the Glee Club? How many new- comers can resist turning the radio dial? We hear one of ’35’s has an invention up her sleeve. Our personal nomination for “Queen of Hearts” to Jen” Sullivan. Did you know Giddy Griff is “The International Girl”? Do those girls still have heart interests in Provi- dence, especially in the artist colony ? Doesn’t the knitting give a domestic touch to the restroom? It must have been Mary Saber’s striking face that prompted Mr. Rice to ask her to pose for him. The Samaritan Slogan, “Hold That Run” .... Dotty Simpson and Mary Garfield casting the needle and threads. And isn’t Edna Granger one “swell kid”? What would ’35’s have done without “Crash” Pilibosian to manage its spreads? An attrac- tive little tamale — Edie Johnson. Training Schools More Wonderments: Why Charlotte Hoyt loves to chuckle like a chicken. If “Cunnie” isn’t a cute name for a cute girl. . . . Mary Cunningham. Why Mary and Margaret Power do not burst into open combat over letters addressed to “M Power.” Beauty Bumps — By Bve If your hair is turned to silver and you are overweight . . . dye-it. If your feet are long, wear long skirts and be thankful you haven’t fallen arches. If you have Gable ears, remember, “It Might Happen To You One Night.” Remember warpaint and rouge disguised many an Indian. If you are troubled by a long nose, remem- ber Jimmy Durante needs a partner. If you’re tired of looking the same, day in and day out, comb your hair for a change. Use auto-grease .... why pay ten cents for Maybelline. To improve your eyes, let someone black them. Bye, bye, blues ! TASTY DATES . . . By Miss Dater-Upper Dater Dear, I am a young athlete attending a local college and when dances come round, I find myself in my Solitude. When is the time for Love in Bloom? Why do I continue Dancing with My Shadow while other boys find Love ' s Just around the Corner? Why Was I Born to do without This Thing Called Love?

Their fine showing in classes made them even more welcome. If all newcomers are like these two, it’s all right. A special bouquet of orchids, too, to all those Jolly E4’s with their willingness to help and cooperate in all our plans. There couldn’t be a better group. A toast to those Power Sisters — Peg and Mary. No squabbles .... no pettiness. Instead, a real friendly, sincere, sisterly interest in each other which makes them pals as well as sisters. If you have daughters, I honestly hope they get along like Peg and Mary. What else can one say ? Thumbnail Descriptions: Helen Tracy .... A Lucky Str.ke C.garette Ad. Mary Fitz- patrick ....

And Dot Simpson is my idea of a pleasant miss. . . . Where does A1 Madigan get all that time to help as much as she does? . . .

Patter: Jen Sullivan says, “To make a short story long, they were married.” Another way to make a short story long is to let Helen Tracy tell it.

Professor Izzatso refutes Professor Knows It All’s accusation that teachers are a con- servative group. “Prof. Iz” states that after associating with would-be teachers (they would if they could) for four years, he has concluded that the professor in question is neurotically opinionated. After interviewing the class of ’35, “Prof. Iz” expounds the fol- lowing evidence. 1.50 girls flaunt cardinal nail polish on the epithelial tissue which rests on the extremities of their phalanges etc., etc., etc. Finally, Carioca, cucuracha, and rhumba is how 41 1 3 girls spend a good portion of their lives in the “nite club”. So-o-o-o ! “Izzy” says. Are we or are we not a conservative group? The pilgrims had nothing on us! Additional Wonderments We wonder if Dot Pierce will ever be late so that she’ll get to class less than four min- utes before it starts. And speaking of being late — Mary McKenna might get that gang of hers to class on time some day if she gets a skooter and a tow rope. Unclassified Old jokes for sale. See Mary Derry. Lost — Notebook.
