"Our college days run swiftly by" . . and so they have.
This is, however, a pretty good indication that our days
at W. C. have been full and varied ones. In a very short
time we'll be leaving as graduates. This takes on a new
significance, for we have suddenly found that our roots
have been buried far deeper these past four years
than many of us have realized.
And there is that assurance that Woman's College has
granted us many things ... in the memorable words of
Charles Duncan Mclver .. . "the love of truth for truth's
sake; the belief in equality before the law; the belief
in fair play and the willingness to applaud an honest
victor in every contest, whether on the athletic field
or in the classroom, or in social life; the feeling of
common responsibility; the habit of tolerance toward
those with whom one does not entirely agree; the giv-ing
up of small rights for the sake of greater rights
that are essential; the recognition of authority and the
dignified voluntary submission to it even when the rea-son
for the policy adopted by the authority is not
apparent; the spirit of overlooking the blunders of
others and of helping those who are weak; the contempt
for idlers and shirkers; the love of one's fellow workers
even though they be one's rivals; patience in toil; self-reliance;
faith in human progress; and confidence in
right and belief in God ..."
We've learned a great deal it's true ... and we have
even more tq learn. We'll soon be starting on a new
adventure, and to all of you who have some time left,
we bequeath the wonderful opportunities and experi-ences
that have been ours. And to the Woman's College,
we give our "never-ending debt of gratitude".

sleered by Peggy Duncan, class
president, came off successfully
on May IS.
The day was planned to honor
the juniors, who gave the freshmen
a similar "Sister Day" last fall.
The affair began with a "Sister
Circus", held at 4:30 P If., on the
tennis courts. A small band provid-ed
circus music, while members of
the two classes competed with each
other in activities such as pie-eat-ing
contests and foot races. Decora-tions
gave the tennis courts 'a cir-rus
like atmosphere.
Following the circus program,
the two classes had dinner together
in North and West dining halls
which were reserved especially for
the occasion.
The Freshman Talent Show pro-
A panel of faculty members will
discuss the work appearing in the
spring issue of CORADDI on May

of Michael Casey. Dr Ben-jamin
Townsend. and John Opper
will answar questions for the read-er
and criticize for the writer.
After the discussion, coffee will
be served. The Coraddi Club invites
all students to attend, and especial-i
ly urges students who are inter-ested
in writing to come to this
last meeting.
Mentioning some of the many
activities of the School of Music,
Dean Marquis enumerated on the
concert band. Elliott Hall cham-ber
music, Collelum Musicum se-ries,
and the production of Mo-zart's
"Requiem Mass."
All of these activities, plus the
traditional chorus and student re-citals,
are only a part of the work
that has been done this year. The
entirely new curricula which will
go Into effect next year has been
a major result of the work of the
School of Music.
Commenting on the "Requiem
Mass." Dean Marquis said, "Our
production of Mozart's 'Requiem
Mass' with orchestra, enabled the
students In the College Choir to
enjoy the experience of singing
mixed choral literature of the
very finest. We Intend to continue
this type of work during the fol-lowing
years."
He stated that the Concert
Band enabled college students to
take out their Instruments and
enjoy continuing their high school
band experience: It enabled Music
Education majors to participate
In the type of musical organiza-tion
they most likely will direct
after graduation: and It enabled
music majors to gain experience
In orchestral work.
According to Dean Marquis.
"The Sunday afternoon Elliott
Hall music series provided the
best of chamber music to those
college students Interested In
hearing such music performed In
an Informal atmosphere." He ex-pressed
his appreciation to the
students and directors of Elliott
Hall who had cooperated with the
School of Music in the presenta-tion
of the chamber music.
Concerning the new Collegium
Musicum series. Dean Marquis
said that he and the faculty were
gratified that so many students
and faculty attended the lectures
on he more specialized facets of
music.
Dean Marquis stated that the
Increased number of activities this
year have been for the benefit
of all college stud»nts, and he
feels that "thse activities have
enabled all students to gain tre-mendously
In the areas of music
literature and performance."
