Down in their cottage this year,
the Day Students are numbering

with twenty-nine freshmen, twenty
sophomores, fifteen juniors, and
eighteen seniors. And with Julie Par
sons, president; Jackie Mooney, sec

Betty Ward, counselors, leading the
way, they are planning numerous
special events for this year.
Among these happenings are an
assembly skit, Tuesday, September
22; a hake sale, tentatively set for
Thursday, October 15; and faculty-
boarder parties set for sometime after

Mary’s more aware of the Day Stu-
, dents and to help the day students
become more involved in the school.
The day students intend to collabo
rate with the boarders on all issues

cial emphasis to passing a rule allow
ing boarders to spend the night with

dropped his fruit juice on the floor
and looked up to see if I was angry.
When he noticed L was smiling, he
looked relieved. I told him I would
get a towel, and when I returned, he
took the towel from my hands and
began to clean up the juice. After he
had finished, he started to hand the
towel back to me, but he hesitated.
Then he took the towel between his
hands, wrung it out, and gave it to
me. There was fruit juice all over the
floor again.

LETTER TO HOME
(Reprint from November IS, 1968)
Editors Note: To all Juniors and
freshmen — take heart.
Dear Mother and Dad,
It has been two months since I
left for college, I have been remiss
in writing and I am very sorry for
my thoughtlessness in not having
written before. I will bring you up to
date now, but before you read on,
please sit down. You are not to read
any further unless you are sitting
down. Okay?
Well, then, I am getting along
pretty well now. The skull fracture
and the concussion I got when I
jumped out of the window of my
dormitory when it caught fire shortly
after my arrival are pretty well healed
now. I only spent two weeks in the
hospital, and I can now see almost
normally and only get those sick
headaches once a day.
Portunately, the fire in the dormi
tory and my jump were witnessed by
an attendant at the gas station neaV
the dorm. He was the one who called
the Eire Department and the ambu
lance. He is a very fine boy and we
have fallen deeply in love and are
planning to get married.
Now that I have brought you up
to date, I want to tell you that was
no dormitory fire, I did not have a
concussion or a skull fracture, and I
am not engaged. However, I am get
ting a D in history and a F in bi
ology; and I wanted you to see these
marks in the proper perspective.
Your loving daughter.
