ALMA MATER HYMN Tune " Austria"

.. Ha ydn

' M id the si lent hi lls surround ed, Ripened by the f li ght of time , And with honors still unbounded , In her strong and lusty prime, Alma Mater proudly raise s H al ls and t ower tall and strong, A nd her chi ldren sing her praises, Sing them loud and sing them long. Ever sha ll her chi ldren love her, Forming st ill a noble band; While the flag that waves above her, We sha ll bear to every land. Let us laud her colors glorious, Loya l to the Black and Blu e. Let us wave her flag victorious, Pledg in g each one to be true. And when age at la st stea ls o'er us, Softly like the sink ing sun, Vis ions wi ll appear before us, Of the course that we have run . When our lives have to ld their story Failing lips sha ll move t o cry : " Alma Mater ! live thy glory ! A lm a Mater, C. C. I. !" HARRY H . RUNYON , '05

Foreword We of the Hack Board like to think of our years at CENTENARY as a "maiden voyage " which ha s helped us to chart a course for the future. As a record of that voyage, we offer this book to you, our fellow passengers .

THE NEW BUILDING Centenary's dream of a new Sc ience and Art building is going to change to a reality.

And soon, t oo !

We have reached t he place where our dreams can become brick and steel and mode rn equipment. The plan for the building (which will be abou t 90 fee t by 60) is to put the food s and clothing departments on th e ground floor a nd above them chemistry and b io logy . And while we are building, we will add another story in wh ich to put t he art departme nt . Th e building will be placed in the so ut heast corner of the campu s where Plan e Street meets First Avenue.

THE HAMMOND MEMORIAL The Centenary cata log ue of t he year 1877-78 f irst mentions the name of Albert 0. Ham mond , A .M. , as a t eac he r of Lat in and Greek . For forty- six co nsecutive years it carried the same announcement! Mrs. A. 0. Hammond join ed the C.C.I. facu lty in 1881 and taught here for twelve years. H er f ield wa s Art o il painting and drawing. Th us these two person s gave a co mbin ed service of fifty-eight years. Centenary is rich because of th e se rvice s of th ese two well loved teachers. In add it ion to the sc holars hi p fo und ed by Profe ssor H am mon d fo r the daughters of clergymen, the re is the very cons id erab le g roup of men who to -day preac h a gospel founded on the Greek New Testa ment as taught by him. Both men and wo men have a new love of classic learning because he revea led to them unsuspected values . An appreciation of artistic value s is need ed in this materia listic age and so th e one with c la ssic learning and t~e other with aest he t ic in sight co ntri buted t o th e live s of hundreds of students now living better lives therefor in almost eve ry state in our country. Now, lest the new generation of stud ents should not kn ow of th ei r se rvi ces, we are erecting a material memorial to them. H ere at the e ntran ce to our ca mpus we are installing wrought iron ga te s suppo rte d by two substa ntial pillars each bearing a memorial p laque a nd holding aloft a light which will be seen by day and night, as an expression of grat itude and a recognition of noteworth y services by these two fa ith ful teachers. These are symbo ls of the stre nglh and ligh t -g ivi ng power of their students who have learned both lessons and life ideals from their t eac hing . Robert J . Trevorrow.

And right here o n top is my log , as I ca ll ed the diary I kept at Centenary because I sa il ed into H ac ke ttstown and dropped a nchor fo r two years. I dated eac h new exper1ence, but that really does n't matter. The important t hin g is-it happened at Centenary. Th e senio rs mu st have enjoyed wa t c hin g us, wa ndered through the halls, a ll eyes b ut speechl ess . night ! I do n't even have t o read it. Th e Stude nt Little Theatre after we we re g ive n ou r "bi g sist ers."

the eigh t y new junio rs, a s we How well I remember t ha t first Cou nc il e ntertai ned us in the I wonder whe re Sis is t o-day!

According to this page, we got organized very soon, and began our days as th e Class of '40 under the very able leadership of J ean Chrystie. Mary Scott from Chile wa s our fo re ig n stud e nt , and how we a ll loved Scotty ! Initi ation Week can never b e fo rg otte n, and thi s is why " I got up a t six thi s mo rn ing in order to get my pigtails braided, my black stockings neatly (?) pulled over my knee s, the glasses drawn around my eyes and Micki e's shoes polished before it was time to pul l down Weezie 's window." But th a t' s not al l " To- night I' m going to bed at ni ne - thirty because I' m too ti red t o stu dy. I neve r knew how heavy wast e pape r ba skets could get. " H ere's the account of the seniors ' H allowe'en Dance. That wa s o ur first big event at Centenary. I can just see t he gym now-adorned with pumpkins, corn sta lks, and harve st moo ns. At th e tim e we co uld not un de rstand how suc h remodelling co ul d be done , but we soo n lear ned th e fun and work behind it. M ore initiation followed, both formal and informal, this time as the result of our decision s to join a sorori t y. It really didn't make much d ifference which we chose, but our own was always best of co urse. Pei ths had th e f irst week-end, and wa s it good ! H ow can we ever forget some of th e sce nes from " Death Takes a H o liday?" The Christmas t he me was carried o ut in the decora t ions. H ere's th e Diok Anniversary weeke nd . Th eir p lay was " Pe tt icoa t Fever." "Swe ll" was the comment. Th e blizzard didn't keep us from enjoyi ng the ir sp ring dance either. The Cal page seems to be torn out, but I recall their naut ical id ea was ve ry cleverly carried out in t he invitation s and dance . I mu stn 't ling er t oo long, but these pages of watch parties, exams, bi rthd ay dinners, week-ends o n other ca mpus es, specia l Ve sper serv ices, tr ips t o the Carlon, and

even p un ish ments-a ll the se bring back suc h fo nd memor ies , I ju st co uldn 't pass th em by. H ere 's one that makes me remembe r lots of hard work but loads of fu n t oo- " We presented ' Medea ' th is afte rn oo n as our May Fete to an en thu siasti c b ut rather warm audience." H ow cou ld I have fo rgotte n? I really d idn 't , but I must have tu rned tw o pa g es at once. Th e Valentine Dance, I'm thinking of. We showed the other st udents and the facu lty ju st what the jun iors were made of, and modest as we were, we felt we had done a very good job of it. A nd the n, the re's t he Pres id e nt' s Da nce too. Dr. T revo rrow was too ill to attend , but Mrs. Trevorrow "d id th e honors" and if I ca n decipher my writ in g correctly, we all had a wonderful evening brought to an end by a midnight supper in the dining room. It was hard to sa y "Good-by e " to our " bi g sist ers" and o ther f ri e nd s whom we would not see so oft e n again, but there was ne xt year to look forward t o a nd al l th at it had in sto re for us. But even when we returned as seniors we could not a nti cipate all whi ch that year was t o bring us. We were t he "big g irl s" now , with Betty H ouse l as our p resident; we he ld the offices of th e societi es and cl ubs; and we were th e ones set th e exa mp le for the ninety odd that were the fresh men, a s we ha d chosen t o call th e m. As I skim thro ugh the pa ges, I see that on accoun t of the illness that swept the ca m pus at the time, we had a d ifficul t t im e in car ryi ng out the initia ti o n p la ns we mad e for the underclassmen. Thi s page distinctly brings back al l the tri als and er rors of the so rority ente rtainments for the new stude nts. Pe ith held its a nnua l fa shi o n show; " Un cle J im " returned to help the Diok s ou t , and t he Cals e nte rtained with a mus ical program. Pled ge Day and initiation followed , and o nce more there we re t hree so ro rity groups. It was t he Delta Sigma Sig ma soro rity (C al in plai n lang uage ) tha t celebrated its anniversary f irst, this year. We co uldn 't take th e week-e nd wi th us, but we ce rtainly had much t o reme m ber about t he p lay, " Yo u Ca n't Take It Wi t h You." The Montclair A Capella cho ir presen t ed a beautiful p rogram for the vesper service . Th ink ing of c ho irs, I re me m be r that our chorus made a n e nviable rep ut a tion in th e fine concert work it d id . Yes, he re's the time we went to Stevens and met " o ur fut ures," a visit which th ey soon returned. The Columbia Glee Club gave a concert too, a nd I seem to have run out of ad jectives describ ing th e good time we had. The different cl ubs were quite active t his yea r. H e re are the acco unts of th e French Cabaret, the Book Club' s after dinner coffee in the library, the Inter na tion a l Re la ti ons Club's foreign affa irs broadcast, knitting for the Guild, and a trip t o New

" To- nig ht the Pei t hosophia n Society presen t ed 'Our Town' t o a ve ry respons ive audience, who along with the actors, imagined t he life p rocesses. The same thoug ht s presented are good to-day. We brushed t he snow off ou r evening sandals and en joyed the 'springish' atmosphere of ihe gym . Dr. Trevorrow and the chorus brought the week-e nd t o an approp riate close in t he Sunday aft ernoon service." O h, dear, here I go aga in- st aying too long on each page, bur there 's so much to read. For instance, " t he good ti mes," in t erclass at hletic games , Skytop, home week-ends, dinner in white dresses, Arthur Murray dancing lessons, student program s, and those " bu ll sess ions" ove r the coke bottles that helped pay for t he gates t hat now g ive so much prestige to the ca mpus,- all th ose te rrib ly important things that stand o ut as happen ings of t hat unfo rgettab le yea r. The late spring sorority week-end wa s plan ned and very nice ly ca rried out with a perfectly wonderful dance on Saturday night, the Stradivarius Ouartet on Sunday. Tea fo llowed the excellent mus ic, and, as hours passed, Centenary became less co ed uca t ional. Jane Conklin was a lovely May Ouee n, and her court maqe a picturesque background for "The Trojan Women." Yes, it wa s a wonderful day for all of us, whether we were in the court or in the dances. Then came t he beginning of the end. Tea rs fill my eyes as I think of that Wednesday morn ing when we ma rched into Chape l in ou r caps and gown s. Then that night we added our ba nner to t he row of symbo li c represen t at io ns of each p reviou s group . The last Chape l se rvice fo llowed a few Saturday mornings later, and again the athletic trophies and emblems were presented for individua l or team outstanding accompl ishmen t s. That afternoon " The H ack" of the C lass of '40 made its debut as part of the an nua l class day exercises. Th e Sunday before Commencement had always been t he t ime for the Bacca laureate service, and so once more the word s of a fine, inspiring address rang through Whitney Hall. We gave the steps to the freshmen in a very impress ive background of our b lack and their white with the setting sun to our backs. Th e tradi ti onal mus ic service completed the evening. Examinations f il le d our m inds for t he receive g ratefully yet sa d ly o ur d iplo masclosed another volume of life; sa d ly because had guided us toward this end, and those friendships.

O ccasion : A lumna e Banquet for Class of '40

" Look, Bunny ," squeal ed Pe te, " look at that neat Cord Convertible and o h, look who is in side ! It is Nan cy Fell. " Ju st as Bunn y peered out th ro ugh the c urtain s Mrs. Alb ert Arndt walked into th e lobby of th e Essex House . A fter th e heartiest of greeting s a Ia C e ntenary the th ree sat down and waited fo r th e next arrival. Pete and Bunn y were both terrifically happy working on a Ph ila delph ia newspape r. Wh ile Pete write s th e " gossip sheet," Bunny edits advi ce to " t ee n agers wh o would be pop ular." When the very familiar " Hi Y a, PaIs " wa s heard, a II turn ed to greet H elen Stein, who more than did cred it to Centenary sp iri t by cutting re hea rs al of " On Your Feet, " t he mu sica l in which she does her com ic im persona ti o ns. Th e lobby was soon a bevy of ha ppy voices, and as I waded through the c ro wd- well I'll le t you hear their co nve rsations. Pats Ma loy is speaking now (you see her picture in all the magaz ine s accompanying a t es timoni a l approv ing Came l C igarettes.) "S ue Meig s told me that her best and most constant c usto me r wa s J oan Eagles. Sue's Bridal Shoppe is a ve ry eleg ant place o n Fift h Avenue ." In another group , Carol J ones is showing pictures of he r beautiful farm at Prin ceton where she rai ses t horo ughbred horse s. " Elain e, will you autograph my copy? " " Mine too, ' Lain e ." Th e demand is for the a uth or' s si gnature on Elaine Bar ne s' latest comed y, "Off with th e Breeze. " Over in another corner, happy housewife Dori s Re ed is qu izzing Be tty Pfromm about her success a s private secretary to Bette Cooper, who ha s taken the country by storm with her t elev ision prog ram o n which she sing s nightly. " Hell o, Becky," sho uts Sunny Moore to Ar lene Ra ebeck . "Tell them about the Alma Mater of '50 ." Ar lene and Sunny ha ve come back to C.J.C. in other cap aciti es, you see. Su nny ass ists Mrs. Ke lley , while Becky is needed in the f ront office.

We move on aga in to hea r t he now fa mo us Dr. Yeoma ns, M. D. , say, "Yes, she mar ried her hand some pa t ient. " It is Betty Hofmayer she speaks of, a nd it seems th at Betty has t ossed as ide he r white cap for whi t e dress a nd ve il. Jean ne 's care er wa s a su rp ri se t o al l, but she t el ls of a noth e r fe llow scien ti st in th e class of '40. W hy, yes , it is in deed Lyn Peterson . Her a rt icles are p ubli shed in a vol ume on " Women in Scien ce ." "Th e most wo nde rfu l t im e I have had sin ce C.J .C !" says J a ne St er n t o Ma ry Hee rma ns, a s I dash by . They had a vacation from t he sc hool for " Br ides on a Bud get" a nd went to Betty Housel 's Du de Ranch in A rizona .

In fact, she t ravels wit h a st ock co mpa ny, g ivi ng th ril ling in terp reta t io ns of Shakespearean plays. Dod alea al so says t ha t while in New York she hopes t o ta ke in the Lim bach Modern Dance Schoo l, Blakes lee Beauty Sc hoo l, and th e fenci ng sc hoo l wh e re Mar jo ri e Polh emus is host ess . These five years pa ssed so quic kl y, yet see how far t he cla ss of '40 has gone sin ce t he d ay in ea rly Ju ne whe n we wept as we left C .J .C. a nd t he happ iest two yea rs of o ur wh ole lives . How fa r in prog ress and yet in dis t ance too ! Mildred Las loc ky and Pat Tirre ll have both become ar my wives a nd live at th e same post in the Philipp ines; Pe g gy Do nn e ll is back in Missouri as the d ea n of a schoo l for g irls. And I hear she has diffi cult co mpet it io n in th e Ma ryl a nd Sc hool, whi c h Virgini a Go ld in g heads. We a lso missed Do ris Boy le to-day , b ut she is fa r away in So ut h America.

Here comes Pat Sheridan, look in g ultra-exotic in a unique crea ti on of Ebe rle a nd La ube nstein . To my left, so me of the girls are having a " Do you remember party." It migh t be fun t o li st e n in a nd hear Betty Full er say, " Re membe r wh en we had to extend the radio becau se we couldn 't do wit hout Gle nn Mi lle r? " " Oh, yes," recal ls Betty Ya nHa rt, "he a nd his band are goin g to make a come back. Betty Gaffe is acting as pub licity a g e nt ."

She informs me th en of a very neat spot on Fifty -second Street where Victoria Clendenin nightly swings the classics, and an al l-gi rl band features Lois Cook at the p ian o and Betty Shaw on the drums. An added attraction is the celebrities one finds among the patrons. It is reported that from the sports world, Edna Thomson, t he professional go lf champion, was present wi t h Olive Chamberla in , the chan nel sw immer , in the same party. "And Bob won the fir st prize," Jan e says while she sim ply beams. of her路 ha s been judged best in the New York art exhibit.

Hi s port rait

"How are the twins, Peggi? I saw them the other路 day in their blue reefers and they were too precious for words!" Peggi Da rrow and Natalie Eden are comparing notes on family life. "Oh yes, Peggi ," Na t said, "[ wouldn't have a stick of furniture that wa s not the or ig inal Jane Thomas design." "Yo u should see them do th e " La Carker," I hear in passing. I stop dead stil l when I hear someone say, "Will iam and Mar jorie ," for they are the favorite American dance team , and we reme mber that Marjorie Burrell was the pupil of Mrs. Haring at Cen tena ry . " It ha s been so lo ng since I've see n you." Ruth Bower , A ssistant Director of gym at Vassar, and Lois Martin, who owns a very swank summer camp for girls, are reca ll ing the ir st udent days. " Do you remember the cowpath, Carlon, spring nights , Ann week-ends , and vespers? It was fun, even vespers-1 used to like the chorus and Dr路. Trevorrow's t alks. Speaking of the chorus, did you know Jean Purse l was teaching singing at Jully Gardens Music School?" "And did you know that Louis e Monez acts over the radio? She is in the popular sk it ca lled, "Too Many Cokes Get Our little Nell." Once the gir ls sta rt " Did you know," it goes on and on. Si s Latham married a professor at Lehigh? "

" Did you know that

"Did you know that Ginny Wooster is an air hostess; Sally Hunt is president of Bus iness Woman 's Club; Kay Hughes is a librarian at Princeton University: Amy Hardman is secretary to a senator: Peggy Russe ll gives bridge lessons, and Laura Cullen teaches shorthand at KiHy Nibbs Secretarial School?" And so, far into the night , for the class of '40 has won great ren own. See you at th e Essex House in 19451

AVERSIONS AND DIVERSIONS We ra cked ou r editorial bra in to think of thi s one. It is a co mp os ite p icture of what thi s year 's se nior cla ss lik es and dislike s. Not only wil l it give you, th e reader, an insight into the priva te lives of the members of th e class of '40 but when the "afo re-read" prophecy comes true , thi s page will give newspaper writers of the future a va luab le cue as to who-liked -what-when. In order to be terribly tec hni ca l about the whole thing, we have d ivided our likes into sections wh ic h we shall ca ll A , B, C, D, E, and F. We think a good place to sta rt is g roup A whic h concerns food, always an important q uest io n. To ge nera lize, BETTY VA N HART, DORRIE REED , BETTY HOFMAYER and JANE THOMA S all put food at the top of the list. JEAN PUR SEL likes choco la te ice cre am and TORY CLEND ENIN likes Pennsylvan ia Dutch cooking and plenty of it. KIT HUGHES likes lobst er at Hug o's and KAY WATTS is wi ld about chocolate fudge. PAT SHERIDAN likes roquefo rt cheese and LYNN PETERSON likes huckl ebe rry pie. If that isn' t a congl omera tio n of food we'll eat C. J. C. spaghett i with chopsticks for a week ! Group B is co ncerned with mu sic , t o which BETTE COOPER most enioys devoting her time. PETE PETERSON iu s+ likes to si ng whil e MARY LOU EBERLE swoon s ut the mention of " Stardust." ELAINE BARNES li kes Glen n Mi ller and the "swooning" goes for her t oo . C stand s for clothe s and BUNN Y FORDHAM likes 'em. CAROL JONES is espec ially in fav or of tweeds and spo rts clothes. JANE CONK LIN likes G len Plaid Suits while JO LAUBENSTEIN p refe rs polo coats and pork-p ies. Th e fourth g roup, altho ug h sma ll, is sti ll enthu siast ic. Thi s is the group who like best certain colleg e campuses for reason s which we fee l need not be en um erated. Th ere is SIS LATHAM, who lik es Lehigh ; PATS MALOY an d Dartmouth College , and MARGE BURRELL, who specifies t hat she enioys New Haven t ea-pa rtie s. Without any needless chatter, we now t urn t o group E, th e members of which en ioy cert ain act ivities. For in sta nce, BETTY HOUSEL, JANE STERN , SUE ME IGS and PEG RUSSELL are enth usiastic equestrian s, wh ich in our native tongu e means t ha t th ey lik e horse-back riding. JOAN EAGLES lik es to ride on windy days espec ia ll y. And spea king of windy day s, RUTH BOWER depends on them for her fav orite activity in the summer, that of sailing. LOIS MARTIN ius+ likes the ou t- of-doors, and EDNA THOM SON mu st too, as she li kes golf. BETTY GOFFE is " that way" ab out dancing of any and all type s, and MAC HERIE LIMBAC H and LOI S COOK agre e with her. Und er general activities, BETTY PFROMM and OLIVE CHAM BERLAIN like going p luces and PEGGI

AVERSIONS AND DIVERSIONS DARROW enjoys hying new place s and new things. LOUI SE MONEZ likes Life in genera l, and ARLINE RAEBECK like s "thi s ch anging wor-ld. " HELEN STEIN and r-oommate BETS FULLER like " ton s of fun" and "mad fun " respectively. Oui t e apad from the name given to group E but still a part of thi s group are BETTY SHAW and G INN Y GO LD ING who like relaxing. LAURA C ULLEN goes further in that sleep is her favorite diversion. O ur last group, F, we might call th e Mi scellaneous o1路 , and we think this more to the point, the bits of stuff group. In fact that is what we shall cal l it. The f irst bii路 of stuff is that NANCY FELL likes Mercury convertibles on a summer's day. BABBY BLAKESLEE likes pipes and JEANNE YEOMANS makes the happy combination of liking convertibles and pipes. PEG DONNEL L likes Home and NAT EDEN enjoy s DOT BARNES and MARY HEERMANS adm i re sincerity. GINNY co mfort. WOOSTER f ind s that Connecticut interests her most wh ile BETTY ROSY likes brown eyes . SALLIE HUNT likes me1路1路y-go- rounds and AMY HARDMAN is a faithful movie goer. MARGE POLHEMUS is color-conscious in that she loves red. DODALEA MARLATT likes mail, and BUMP HAVEY in typical eternal-triangle sty le, likes complications. The following bits of stuff have about them the characteristics of local color. MILDRED LASLOCKY lik es to get 45 minute phone calls, while SUNNY MOORE . thinks sun - bathing on the hockey field is the highlight of the spring season . DEE BOYLE likes to bid and make a grand slam doub led and redoubled. In order not to see m cyn ica I a bout the possibilities of that happening , we sha ll move on to PAT TIRRELL who enjoys turning on her lights after Mr. Dilts goes by, and FRAN SWEENY, who likes best her 9 :30 " coke and butt" . Glancing over the tabulated results of our little survey, we find that we must divide our d islikes into four groups which we shall call quite monotonously, A, B, C, and D. Our A gwup again concerns food and it seems that some people don't li ke it. SUE MEIGS doesn't like avacadoes while LOU ISE MONEZ does not relish strawberry 1ce cream. LO IS COOK b lanches when she hears stewed tomato es ment ioned and BETS FULLER avoids burnt toast as much as possible. PATS MALOY doesn't like to drink coffee. C lothes or Group 8 (did we surprise you?) hops about from JANE CONK LI N's ave rsion to wedge shoes and JANE THOMAS' horror at pinch -back and blue serge su its , to ARLINE RAEBECK 's dislike of children's sailor suits. DOT BARNES d islikes untidiness in any form which might, and let's say does, apply to our clothes problems. Personal ity dislikes are to be listed next with insincerity in the lead.

THE BOOK CLUB Dr. DuBois

Advisor President

Ma rgaret Donne ll Bette Cooper Mary Heermans

Vice- President Sec retary-Treasure r

With a larger number of members in the Book Club t han ever before, those second and fo urth Monday nights spent at th e home of Dr . and Mrs. DuBois have been profitab le as well as very en joyable. The successful ye ar o f the club began with the serving of after-dinner coffee in th e library to ce le brate Book Week. At this soci al f unction , book reports were g iven by a few me mb ers of the clu b . On d isp lay were sev eral new books, and that evening our li brary was filled not only by books given by the club and it s members, but also by other stud ents a nd fac ulty in t erested in adding new literature to the library . At Christmas time, the societ y added to the Chri stma s spirit at Centenary by donating a tree , which was placed in the Browsing Corner of the library and around which one even ing several gi rls sang carols. In February, instead of one of our regular meeting s, we enjoyed a Valentine Party . A lso in th is month we t oo k great pleasure in p resen tin g Miss Ange la Morgan, a nationally known poetess, who read some of her poem s and d isc ussed poetry . Two of th e members :Jf our faculty, Mi ss Hutchi ng s and Miss Couch, spoke to us on " Ficti on Books" and "Current Play s on Broadway," respective ly . Ending our favorable year with Dr. and Mrs. DuBois as our advi sors and charming hosts, the Book Club enjoyed a picnic at Sieber's Grove . The books added to our col le ction are " Autobiography with Letters" by Wil liam Lyon Phelps; " Chris t in Concrete" by Pi etro Di Donato; " Moment in Peking" by Lin Yutang.

FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY 1n

As active as ever, the FR IENDS OF THE LIBRARY group has done its part keeping the current literature section of the li brary up- to -th e - minute.

This fall, with the usual enthusiasm, the Book Club assist ed in arranging a book display of current tit les and advertised it with after-dinner coffee. Three members of th e club entertained the group wi t h brief, interesting book rev iews: Doris Boyle on "O ur Family " by Adet , Anor and Meimei Lin; Mar jory Smith on " Wind , Sand and Stars" by Antonie de Sa int Exupery, and Mary H eermans on " Escape" by Ethel Van ce. After brow si ng a mo ng the volumes , the FRIENDS who cared to give books at that time were permitted to select them from the exh ibit. Other girls have donated books in the course of th e year, th us ke e ping ou r collection up-to-d a te .

Pendant l'apres- midi no us avions apporte a "South Hall Par lor" nos souliers que nous avons retrouves le soir tout pleins de bonnes choses. En France il y a une fete qu'on appelle "La Fete des Rois. " Ce so ir nou s avons mang e une galette dans laquelle on ava it cuit une feve. Mil e . Schaum a rec;u le morceau qui contenait Ia feve; elle etait done roi pendant t oute Ia so iree . Elle a choisi comme rei ne Mil e. Wayman. Au commencement de mai nous avons joue deux preces, "Le Chat parti, les sourrs dansent" et " L 'Anglais tel qu'on le parle." Tou s les membres y avaient un role. Le quinze fevrier Mile . de Bondeli est venue nous parler de l'oeuvre des "American Friends of Fra nce."
