Sophomore Suzie
Gee, now it’s done gone and hap
pened. All those old Seniors are
graduating—what on earth will it
all be like next year with another
bunch of Seniors to get acquainted
with? Wonder how long it’ll be be
fore they start trooping down to Sat
urday night movies by fours, dash
ing out for a collegiate short dinner
on Sunday, getting phone calls from
Beckton and dating all the ensigns
out there? And I wonder if they’ll
start cooking in Holt right away,
and whether they’ll adopt stray
puppy-dogs, and whether they’ll keep
orchids in the windows during win
ter and sun themselves behind Holt
in the spring. In other words, I
wonder if they’ll be different.
But why should. I go worrying
’bout that when I’ve just finished up
all my exams this morning. Just
think! no more blue books ’till next
year. Incidentally, Phyl found that
those same horrid blue books make
wonderful stationery for long let
ters ; just fold in the middle and seal
with adhesive tape or perhaps an
extra band-aid. I3ut now they’re all
over and I promise, honest PROM
ISE, that next semester I’m really
going to study day by day. But to
be frank, I bet I don’t.
Holt doesn’t look quite the same
now. There are trunks and Saint
Mary’s packing boxes and parents in
the halls. And Ruth Gee is still
flashing that beautiful silver cigar
ette case around, particularly the
back of it. But everybody is taking
down the pictures of all their men
and are packing away their pennants
and trophies of war for next year.
Mary Arden is taking that Totem
Pole over to Duke to get her through
quizzes over there too. Maria is
taking her coffee pot on to Sweet
Briar for boiling eggs and making
soup and the such. But then I won
der what Vickey and Sylvia will do
with that monstrous picture of
Frank Sinatra. But I bet not many
Van Johnsons land in the scrap
paper drive. But then just think of
all the “Back Home For Keeps”
(plural, but I don’t know how to
spell it) that will be left on the walls
of Holt, and every other building
for that matter.
Well, here ’tis—good-bye. I can’t
quite believe it but it is so—so, that’s
that. Have fun this summer.
