fashionable short skirts. The eight girls who entered then and are still
with you are Elizabeth Embry, your class artist; and Mary Churchill Jungbluth, known for her winning manners, both from Eouisville; the “ Alices,” one of the soft voice and the other of striking appearance; your
quietest and most studious member, Laura Warfield; anci the peppy tri­ umvirate, Nellie Dickinson, India Pickett and Marjorie Harbison. Many of you excelled in hockey and tennis, and your basketball team defeated all the teams except the invincible Seniors. In the fall Marjorie Harbison was
admitted into the Dramajtic Society, of which fact you were very proud. But as the greatest season of the year is always Spring, that Spring was no exception to the rule. After many dark hints on the part of the Seniors, you gave their class a delicious spread which, it seemed to me, as an interested spectator, you enjoyed as much as the Seniors.

You started it with a weighty air, conscious of all your responsibilities and privileges. But soon your cares ceased to oppress you, and you revelled in your advantages, such as an extra week-end, Senior tea, and walking
from Oakwood to the day-school alone in the mornings. The first event of importance was the election of your class officers, Julia Keedy, presi­ dent; Marjorie Harbison, vice-president; and Laura Butterfield, secretary- treasurer. Then came Dramatic tryouts, after which Alice Knox, India
