EVA CHASE Art Editor VIRGINIA FARNHAM Circulation Manager 6U '1*1 Foreword .Life is like a chain of mountains: grand, strong; full of changing color; eternal. Our pathways take us up steep trails to the top, only to show us how far down we must go to reach the foot of the next ascent. There are many beginnings. This book is like a mountain lake reflecting the beauties of miniature worlds about us, and giving a perfect outline of the first real peak we have conquered. From now on we shall be mounting, always higher. We have left the foothills. May this Microcosm of 192.9 show us, as we turn to look back, a panorama of the hills in "our little world" over which we have struggled so valiantly together to success. 47320 To Alban Bertram De Mille by whose beautiful thoughts and fine expression we are inspired; by whose rich personality we are charmed; and whose counsel we seek and value; to him we dedicate this book. To the Class of TS[ineteen Twenty-nine The lamp within the chapel shrine burns low, The young knight bows before his stainless shield. To-morrow he must venture far afield; To-night he dedicates, come weal or woe, Honor and love and faith to friend and foe. He lifts his head; the vigil-vow is made. No stain shall mar that shining shield and blade. . . . The day is come — he arms himself to go. So have you watched and waited. So at last The hour of parting strikes, and down the years You gaze, unknowing what the years may prove. Knowing but this: where'er your lot is cast, No shade shall dim the life that now appears; These shall not fail you — Honor, and Faith, and Love. tfcJl^vU^^ ^Ce^ft^M^.

When John Simmons first began to work toward his ideal of a vocational college for women, he could not have known that his work would have gathered such impetus from the start he gave it in 1867, when he made his will, that in 19x8 and 1919 it would still be extending itself. As a monument to the life of its founder, our college is ever growing. The main building is even now being enlarged. What great changes may come in the future we can not even imagine; but no matter what the physical aspect may even- tually be, we can see the College as we spent our four years in it, as it was when we paid tribute to John Simmons. 16 M »CR©COSM ^S5^ Henry Lefavour, President, A.B., Williams College, 1886; LL.D., Williams College, 1902.; Tufts College, 1905; Additional Course, University of Berlin.

American libraries find women valuable staff members, and Simmons educates them to choose books wisely, arrange and catalog them well, and then make them available to men, women and children of the community.

Our philosophy is profoundly affected by our background of information regarding organic evolution, the natural causes of disease, and the body as the residence of the mind and soul. The crowning triumph of the sciences is in the realm of improving the conditions of liv- ing, and the quality of life, itself, through an understanding of those factors that promote health, and prolong life in a continuing state of usefulness and enjoyment.

The details which he must memorize, the particular deductions which he must draw from them, the experience of obtaining first-hand information by laboratory experiments, all of these may fade as time passes. If there remains, however, an appreciation that Nature is governed by fundamental laws which can be discovered by systematic search, carried on with absolute honesty, accurate observation, and rigid logic, the effort of studying chemistry will not have been in vain, and the object of the teachers in this department will have been fulfilled.

Hamlet's trouble lay in his self-centered and short-time view of life; extreme optimism often arises out of the same intellectual limitations. The balance wheel of a gas-engine keeps the motor turning smoothly, checking a too enthusiastic response to each explosion and preventing a "lag" between these isolated impulses. Without a balance wheel of historical knowledge, hu- man life becomes an unreasoning alternation between optimism and despair. G.

Increasing emphasis is being placed on improvement of personal hygiene; improvement that can be brought about only by the slow process of educating the public in principles of healthy living. Such education cannot be accomplished by mass methods alone; it requires a teacher of health who can bring to each individual personally the help he needs. In this country the public health nurse has become the health missionary; she is the field agent upon whom depends to a large extent the carrying out of the various programs for community health. The ever widening public health field demands nurses with sound fundamental education and technical training. Simmons College is helping to meet this need through its School of Pub- lic Health Nursing.

BABCOCK In the death of Miss Babcock, Simmons College lost not only an inspiring teacher and loyal friend but a beautiful character. Hers was an exhilarating ■personality, optimistic, self-forgetting, and brave. She was by temperament conservative, but her love of the old never made her blind or hostile to the new, and although she lived imaginatively among the Greeks of the fifth century, she had not lost her enthusiasm for the Americans , and especially the youth of the twentieth. Probably never in her life did she once ask, "How little can I do?" but always, "Hoiv much!" Her courageous spirit was a rebuke to the shiftless and the time-serving, and an inspiration to the deserving and honest. It is a great thing to be able to say of any one as can be said of her, "She never spared herself. 48 nAmong the ^Alumnae Officers 19x8-1913 President Martha (Whiting) Burbank, 59 Bay State Road, Belmont Vice-President Margaret (Ridlon) Van Ingen, Lake Forest, Illinois Honorary Vice-president . . .

But there are some things and particularly some people who will never grow dim. Evelynne is one of these. Individuals never become intermingled with the proletariat throng, and we feel it suffices to say that Eva's excellent characteristics, feminine charm, and benign smile will make us remember her as an individual. 14 Wilder Street, Dorchester, Massachusetts Lawrence High School Social Work Lillian Abrams Sociable and pleasant — Lil is always ready to laugh. When we hear her gay and infectious giggle — it starts us all going. We promise great things for Lil for she has tact and neatness — qualities that every secretary must have. Of course, this treatise can't end without Jeanne popping in, for when Jeanne's mother is ill, Lil sympathetically keeps her company. 99 Kilsyth Road, Brookline, Massachusetts Girls' High School Secretarial Studies Adelle Allen Adelle has a valuable qualification in good, wholesome common sense. We have only one instance of her common sense failing her and that was her "indecision" about Junior Prom. Besides being sensible, she is studi- ous, sweet and wise. On first acquaintance, one realizes that she is a real lady. And speaking of Adelle, where's Hilda? 48 Maple Avenue, Cambridge, Massachusetts Somerville High School Secretarial Studies 55 -=53S^? ^CRfCOSM ^g3==- Edna Blanche Allen Although Edna really belongs to an older class at Simmons than we do, she came back this year in her snappy little car to take some courses with 1919s Secretaries. Now we claim her. Pretty loyal (ambitious, too) we'll say, to choose us in the face of such tempting competition as Har- vard Business School and offers, strictly business, of course, from a charming Frenchman. 2.9 Bowdoin Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts Secretarial School Claire Ellen Angel Last fall one of Utah's fairest co-eds boarded an east-bound train in far-off Salt Lake City and what have we? — a mighty welcome addition to the Class of '2.9. Her gay soprano voice saved many a would-be concert in Appleton House from complete deterioration. Drawing our conclu- sions from certain present happenings, we predict a renaissance of mas- culine interest in books in the town that welcomes this "angel"-ic librarian. "The Pines," Holliday, Utah East Salt Lake High School Library Science Irma P. Bachmann "Beanie" "Beano" Irma came to Simmons sophomore year from Skidmore. She is an inter- esting mixture of the domestic and social. Between bridge parties and other social affairs, she finds time for her justly famous cookery. We are sure that she will make a good social worker, but, personally, we pre- dict for her a future as Mrs. Somebody-or-othcr in which role her rare talents will assure her success. z Appleton Street, Watertown, Massachusetts Newton High School Skidmore College Social Work 56 -=^s~? M lCR(DCOSM ^SJ^=* Edna Grace Baker From distant California, Edna has brought that intellect and cosmo- politan interest in government, education, and literature which one associates with the cultured Bostonian, and with these qualities, she has charmed all who meet her intimately. Will she become a librarian? Who can tell? Whatever her work, she will gain and give something, for she absorbs something from every experience, and leaves a lasting impression on her close associates. Mill Valley, California Lowell High School, San Francisco University of California Librarv Science Olive Jane Baker "Ol." At first we thought Olive was demure, but after knowing her better we found she had an enviable element of self-reliance. She is calm, re- served and efficient. She makes people wonder if she ever has any troubles. Her emotions, for she must experience some, are well concealed beneath that perfect composure. Whisper to vour more restless classmates, Olive, how you achieve this. North Grosvenordale, Connecticut Tourtellotte Memorial High School Household Economics Glee Club (i, 3, 4); Y. W. C. A.

Alice Marian Bean "Beanie" Suspicions about the S. G. Treasurer are confirmed. Those long col- umns of figures balance through no volition of their own. The agent is plainly duress on the part of the Treasurer. Such unlawful conduct is a direct result of undue affection for the red ink bottle, the ruler, and neat and buxom numerals. Our verdict now condemns her to a career of wealth, brilliance, and effervescent enthusiasm. 65 Robbins Road, Watertown, Massachusetts Watertown Senior High School Secretarial Studies Glee Club (1, 1, 3); Secretary-Treasurer Unitarian Club (0; Vice-President Unity Club (3); Academy (3, 4); Treasurer of Student Government (4). Helen M. Bebout When you come across an especially fine tearoom in some university town, go in and see if the manager is there. Don't be surprised to see Helen smiling from behind her office door.

Sadie C. Berry "Sally" Wherever Sally goes there follows a ripple of laughter. This little girl is never too busy to do extra work whenever asked, and one can be cer- tain it is done quickly and accurately. We are afraid that summer vaca- tion can't come too quickly, when Sally will again put her secretarial knowledge to real practical use. 152. Allen Street, Springfield, Massachusetts High School of Commerce, Springfield Secretarial Studies Glee Club (1, 3, 4); S. A. A.; Y. W. C. A. Gwendolyn K. Bird "Gwen" Spring! Beautiful Spring! Besides the beautiful changes of nature, the budding of the trees, and new changes of clothes, it also means to Gwen the "Dog Show!" Sometime during that week, we may hear the click of high heels, a merry laugh, and enthusiastic chatter heading towards Mechanics Building. What is the favorite now, Gwen — the Boston or English Bull? 11 Lafayette Park, Lynn, Massachusetts Marycliff Academy, Arlington Heights, Massachusetts Household Economics Home Economics Club. 59 M lCR®COSM ^SP=" Rosalind B. Bjork "Jockie" Bewitching dimples, a contagious laugh, dimes for the Glee Club, and week-end trips home to keep all those dates — who? Jockie, that's who. And have you ever caught her singing, either in English or Swedish while waiting for her family to carry her off to the wilds of Belmont or Lake Winnepesaukee? What should she care if there is a dearth in secretarial positions while there still may be found stray opera companies in search of new talent and soprano sweetness? 194 Slade Street, Belmont, Massachusetts Belmont High School Secretarial Studies Glee Club (1, 1, 3,); Librarian of Glee Club (0; Secretary-Treasurer of Musical Association (3); Wing Fund Committee (3, 4). Toba Blassberg "Toby" Toba is all sunny sweetness, "topped" with jet black hair and huge brown eyes. Tucked away inside of her is a heart of pure gold where all those virtues that make you love Toba are hidden. She will give you sympathy when things are looking down and when they look up, she'll give you a cheering smile and a merry giggle. We hope to see her manag- ing a tea room! 10 Mechanic Street, Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts Arms Academy Secretarial Studies Mandolin Club (r, 2.); Instrumental Club (3); Menorah. Esther L. Bloomberg Esther has two great worries — getting to class on time, and keeping her fountain pen filled. But those of us who know dear "Azygos" best know that she has a keen sense of humor in addition to a big bump of luck and we can't help feeling that these will get her through where others less fortunate will be left behind. 160 Strathmore Road, Brookline, Massachusetts Girls' Latin School General Science Menorah (i, i, 3, 4);Sccrctaty Menorah (Oi Life Saving Corps; Ellen Richards Club (3, 4). 60 -=3SS?

EsTFIER AxELMA BRIDGES "Bridgie" Just watch Esther's eyes and perhaps you will know what is going to happen next. Beneath her calmness and poise is a volume of fun as you will agree if you've ever heard her contagious laugh. We had visualized her as a dietitian in some large hospital , but we have recently learned rhat her Household Economics training will be centered upon one. 148 Cottage Street, Athol, Massachusetts Athol High School Skidmore College Household Economics Shush Commirree (3); Assisranr Manager Show Case (4)- 61 -^ss~?

Realizing the aspiration which prompted "Gin's" return to Simmons, we are proud to remember her among our own. Honorable, dependable, kind, friendly to all, she is a valuable member of any group. Her misfortune in being ill became our fortune in having her graduate with us. 94 South Cayuga Street, Williamsville, New York Williamsville High School Secretarial School Student Government Representative (i, 3); Judicial Board (3, 4); Track (1, 1); Class Presi- dent (1); Chairman Sophomore Luncheon (1); "Mic" Show (1); Group Leader (3); Chairman Junior Welcoming Committee (3); Freshman-Junior (3); Secretary Conference Committee (3); President Student Government (4). Alice Joan Broadbent She gives you an impression of reliability and honesty. Her placid way seems untroubled by the minor calamities which worry most of us. Her zeal begets peace of mind at exam time. Mere trips abroad cannot excite her. Just ask Alice to tell you about the attractions of Europe, however, and you can always be sure of a warm welcome. Lihue, Kanai, Hawaii Kanai High School, University of Hawaii Secretarial Studies Phyllis Brown "Phyl" Every time life becomes too monotonous Phyl always starts things with the familiar "Let's go out to camp". More than once that little slogan has saved the day. If her library is near the camp she can be sure of a large patronage. Just imagine a librarian with a disposition like Phyl's. Probably she'll have a five-foot shelf on camp and camp life. Ayer, Massachusetts Ayer High School Library Science 62 -^ssg?

She will soon be gracing the portal of some famous library. Glenfield, New York Lyons Falls High School Librarv Science Anna Burgess Anna, as long as we have known her, has always been very quiet. We know she is patient and practical and will some day surprise us all in teaching or in practicality. Because she is Anna and because she is quiet we may all know that our confidence is well placed. When Anna answers the question of the use of projects with the word, work, we know she has a sense of humor! 19 Irving Street, Watertown, Massachusetts Watertown High School Household Economics Home Economics Club. Emily Grace Campana "Em" Emily is always enthusiastic about something, whether a Newman Club Bridge, a settlement class, or an hour exam! Baking cakes and pies, or making an evening dress are simple matters in Em's life. We expect to hear of her in the future, teaching children how to cook oatmeal and how to make a sewing bag. But it won't be long before she herself will be planning breakfast for two. 3 Bentham Road, Dorchester, Massachusetts Girls' High School, Boston Household Economics Newman Club (3, 4}; Home Economics Club (3, 4). 63 «^35S^?

She dances well, swims, plays tennis — is, in fact, like the rest of us mortals except that she possesses those virtues for which the rest of us long in vain. 2.3 Chapin Street, Chicopee, Massachusetts Chicopee High School Secretarial Studies Secretary (1); House Chairman (1); Chairman Ghost Walk (1); Chairman Ring Committee (0; Unity Club (1, 1); Junior Welcome Committee (3); Student Governmcnr Representa- tive (3); Neui (3); Judicial Board (3); Secretary of Council (3); Group Leader (3); Aca- demy (3, 4); May Day Committee (1); Wing Fund Committee (3, 4); President of Student Government (4).

We admire Connie for her cheerful disposition, friendliness, and original philosophy, which is, "Don't let study interfere with your education." 49 Coombs Street, Southbridge, Massachusetts Mary E. Wells High School, Southbridge Secretarial Studies Newman Club. 67 M lCR(f)COS M Janet E. Cohn "Jan" Janet's versatility is her most remarkable quality. It matters not at all whether she is leading lady in a play, Editor-in-Chief of the News, a dancing partner, or the other half of a tea date. She is always "there" and it would seem the men like it from the hordes of telegrams, bids to house parties, etc. The only rival to her versatility is her poise. Who has ever seen Janet without her poise? 113Z East 98th Street, Cleveland, Ohio Glenville High School Social Work Freshman Riding Team; Reporter on News (1); Class Play (1, 1, 3); Dramatics Play (1, 3); Secretary Dramarics (3); Assistant Editor News (1); Editor-in-Chief News (3); Class Execu- tive Board (1); President Girl Scouts (1); May Day Committee (1); Press Board (1, 1, 3, 4); Secretary Press Board (i). Pauline A. Coleman "Polly" If you are looking for someone with whom to be comfortable, look up Pauline. True, she has a radio, and all the news of the day is yours for the asking, but it is pleasant to just talk to her. She is such an industrious person that a year from now will no doubt find her teaching stitches to the little girls in distant Hawaii. 77 Broad Street, Lyons, New York Lyons High School Household Economics Jane M. Colyer "Johnny" Johnny may seem quiet to some but she always has interesting stories to tell, and she tells them in such a vivacious manner that she keeps us all "in stitches". Johnny is always on the go, which accounts for all the globe-trotting that she has done. She has a great passion for John Bull, and English life seems to be more to her liking than library work. 555 Clifton Avenue, Newark, New Jersey Barringer High School Library Science Freshman-Junior (3); Riding manager (3); House Senior (4); Wing Fund Committee (3, 4). 68 m icu(DCOsm ^ss5==- Gertrude E. Connor "Gert" Gert's artistic achievements are chiefly in the realms of poetry. She can write poetic verse on any subject whether it's a write-up for Mic or some historical data. She's great on discipline, too; just watch her able management of a Settlement Class! Her jovial, happy disposition has won for her many loyal friends who sincerely hope to have her always with them. 443 Laurel Street, Manchester, New Hampshire Mt.

Helen Cliff Converse There comes from that famous witch town of Salem a maiden of de- mure and quiet aspect. Helen is at times over-mischievous, in a sprite- like way, but beneath it all we find that her mind has depths one sel- dom can fathom. We know that her flower-like charm will one day lend itself to the function of brightening some library. 7 Carpenter Street, Salem, Massachusetts Salem Classical and High School Library Science W Fannie Lorraine Cook "Cookie" That she is a great, big girl isn't such a misrepresentation of fact in speaking of Fannie, if you refer to her ability, academically, practically and socially. But if you mean her physical aspect, then reverse it, and say that she is tiny, dainty and petite. It seems quite obvious that al- though she'll make a splendid librarian, there will be other things for her to do.

What does not go on inside that little woman. If Satan were a moral lady we might say that Thel were the reincarna- tion of said person. Noise, no end; jokes, unlimited; laughter that resounds from one end of the lunchroom to the other; all these attri- butes belong to our demure Thelma. Can you see her as a prim and proper piece of office furniture? 15 Elmwood Park, Newtonvil Newton High School Secretarial Studies e, Massachusetts Hockey (l, 3, 4); Treasurer of S. A. A.

Edna Louise Copans "Ed" Edna is petite, but endowed with vast knowledge, be it of books, sewing, or coquetry. She pounces upon the right word at the right time with uncanny precision. She sews neatly and industriously, so, of course, the future "Mr. Edna" will never wear buttonless vests or holey socks. Another of her virtues is the ability to listen sympathetically and well. Wait until the men find that out! ! in Grant Street, Lynn, Massachusetts Lynn Classical High School Secretarial Studies Theodora Cowan "Teddy" Teddy came to us last year from Radcliffe. She decided she would not be a French teacher after all. In the short time Teddy has been at Sim- mons, she has endeared herself to many. Never was there a person more accommodating and thoughtful of others. Teddy is rather quiet and reserved — but she has a delicious sense of humor. 17 Aldworth Street, Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts Jamaica Plain High School Radcliffe College Secretarial Studies 70 - =s; KSS? M ICR0COSM ^£3«=* Ruth Louise Cull "Rufus" We would need all of the great, open space where Ruth comes from to give an adequate idea of the charm of her personality, her fineness, and her generosity. Lucky the man who secures her as his secretary! But being an excellent secretary is not her sole interest. Mention islands, Spaniards, and even a few Bostonians, and see if you don't get a re- sponse. May Ruth have all the happiness she so richly deserves. Yakima, Washington Yakima High School Secretarial Studies Associate Editor Rtviiw (4). Sylvia Dane "Syl" Does work evade Sylvia or does she evade work? Whatever the answer may be, it is certain that the two never run into each other. Sylvia's motto is: "Why do today what you can put off till tomorrow?" And she doesn't. Bright, good-natured, witty, and charmingly lackadaisical is Sylvia — the future saver of mankind. 18 Wheatland Avenue, Dorchester, Massachusetts Girls' High School Social Work Catherine MacDonald Davey •'Kay" Who's the girl of the flower shows? Right here! She wasn't a "twenty- niner" until last year. We are sorry she was out of college, but we think we're lucky having her one of us now. For Dr. Eldridge's convenience in making up professional grades — send him to any of us and we can report on Kay's eternal good nature, tendencies toward "medicine," and the way she "lands" those ads. as the efficient Advertising Manager of the Microcosm. 85 Locust Avenue, Amsterdam, New York St. Faith's School, Saratoga, New York Secretarial Studies Frcshraao Ftolic Committee (1); Chairman of Flower Committee (}); Advertising Manager of Micrccosm C4). 71 ~^s^ M ICR©COSM ^K5=- Christina L. Davis "Chris" "Stina" There has always been something mysterious about Chris. We have discovered that part of it is due to the fact that she is very energetic and determined, yet in manner quiet and reserved. She believes the weather man can carry on a much more enlightening conversation about the weather than she can. But, just let her finish her book and she's ready for anything. Boston Turnpike, Shrewsbury, Massachusetts Shrewsbury High School Library Science Cap and Gown Committee (4). Jean Lovejoy de Baun Jean shines in more places than in her halo of hair. In fact, she is the veritable beacon of Bentley and B. U. Law. Whether down in the dumps or up in the clouds, it matters not; when the telephone rings, she goes off in a cloud of dust. Jean's future is planned in educational HomeEc, but we know that she will soon be managing an institution for two. 77 Maple Avenue, Suffern, New York Suffern High School Household Economics Anna Mae De Berry "Anne" Humor, interest, and love of people are the attributes which are re- sponsible for so many phone calls, dates, specials, and even bids to ride in Lizzie. But Anne's sociability will win her more than these, desirable though they be; namely, a valuable place in Social Service. Simply to look upon her smile should make her "patients" feel that life is worth living after all. 643 Union Street, Springfield, Massachusetts Technical High School, Springfield Fisk University, Nashville, Tennessee Social Work 72 M iCR(DCOSM ^53*^=- Anna Winifred Dooley "Anne" Annc is most sociable, yet always dignified. Even such events as "finals" or a house party never quite disturb her poise. She is an ardent lover of music and is among the first to sign up for College dances. Since to travel is Anne's great aim in life, we hope to read soon in the news of her decision to take a trip around the world. 91 Harvard Street, Dorchester, Massachusetts Dorchester High School Household Economics Glee Club (3, 4); Newman Club (1, 1, 3, 4).

The greatest of all her ambitions is to be efficient in all walks of life. She will succeed! 1Z3 Beech Street, Holyoke, Massachusetts Rosary High School Secretarial Studies Junior Prom Committee; Class Representative Newman Club (4). Luella Dudley "Lue" You would just never guess to look at Lue that she was a chemist. Those laughing brown eyes, her job and her endless pep give no hint of such ambition. She is a wonderful friend and one of our very best students. Who knows but what Lue may win her fame through some astounding discovery. But we think perhaps she won't be a chemist all her life. i!

Louise Winslow Dyer "Weeze" Louise is a very silent young lady, with a great many brains under her quiet exterior, judging by the Academy ribbon which decorates her gown. The Sphinx herself would be as likely to burst out in complaints against exams or the hard life of a student. We suspect Louise will make an excellent librarian. 35 Oak Terrace, Newton Highlands, Massachusetts Newton High School Boston University Library Science .Glee Club; Academy. Casindania P. Eaton "Cas" "Puddle" Whenever you see a tall girl striding along alone, in her brown eyes the abstract gaze of a seer, you'll know it is Casindania. Questioning, studying, weighing the facts, she is not afraid to think for herself. Her opinions as well as her executive ability have made the Ntws an important factor in college.

Her characteristics, whether inborn or acquired, alone de- mand her appropriate nickname — and those eyes help plenty. Much whiteness, much neatness, much efficiency, her professional grade must be a huge A-)-. If she isn't "hampered too soon" we are all sure she is going to be a successful dietitian of whom Simmons will be justly proud.

Whether it be taking charge of Press Board or commandeering "blinds" for a formal, Gwen- nie's "there" and doing it as it should be done. We're sure she'll make one of the most efficient secretaries ever — provided certain people in near-by states are not opposed to professional careers for women. 51 Dakota Street, Dorchester, Massachusetts Girls' Latin School Secretarial Studies Treasurer (0; Class Plays (1, 0; Sophomore Shush Committee; Dramatics Play (i, 3); News Editor of Reiitw (3); News Staff (3, 4); Press Board (1, 1, 3, 4); Chairman Press Board (4). Helen Harriet Ellis Although this has been her first year with us, Helen has already won our admiration. She is very conscientious and, therefore, always busy, but she is never too busy to spare a few moments for fun.

Piquant, quick, capable, saucy sometimes and affectionate other times; these are a few of the adjectives that suggest Peg. But, saying this does not distinguish her from a good many others. There is a certain indescribable air which makes you You, Peggy. And since you are different from anyone else, probably the word has never needed inven- tion. 65 Charles Street, Haverhill, Massachusetts Saint James High School, Haverhill Household Economics Newman Club (1, z, 3, 4); S.

If so, just bounce into that attractive black and yellow room on third floor South and Ginny will help you out. If her enthusiasm for European travel doesn't get her in "Dutch" first, perhaps her visionary $ioo-a-week position will soon be reality.

Our best wishes for her happiness go along with the earnest exhortation to keep that "schoolgirl complexion." 152. Montauk Avenue, New London, Connecticut Rockville, Connecticut, High School Springfield Junior College Social Work House Chairman C}_). Frances Fernandes "Fran" One of our ultra-quiet classmates is Frances. She is a person who re- minds us that "the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts". Few of us know just what her long, long thoughts are, but we know they must be lovely ones, for Frances is a lovely person. Even those who are only slightly acquainted with her can vouch for this.

She, like her partner Vi, has an in- herent humorous streak, which is expressed not only orally, but also on the printed page. Kay has a decided literary bent, as evidenced by her work in the News and local newspaper field. Kay's interest in biology, though quite incomprehensible to her fellow secretarial stu- dents, will probably make her a very helpful and efficient medical secretary. 2.5 Commonwealth Terrace, Brookline, Massachusetts Girls' Latin School Secretarial Studies Press Board ; Simmons News. Genevieve Foley "Gen" In this "age of woman," Simmons must have her representation in Congress. Gen has that way of speaking, that — even if she laughs at the same time — you are sure she has "thot it all out." And she has. They are words of wisdom. Her four years at Simmons have shown us that.

Calexico, California Tilton Academy Massachusetts General Hospital Madeline Fox "Maddie" This year Lowell became so irresistible that Maddie took to com- muting. But, we were always glad to have her here again on Monday, and not just because of that sublime fudge she brought with her.

Jean Meyer She is good company for her laughter is contagious — It prospers best in difficult situations, as a lecture room, or crowded street car.

For three years she has been a prominent member of Glee Club and now is 2.9's worthy president of that Association. The Library School finds Esther very valuable and we all know she will go far in her chosen work.

Since libraries are to be her future home, she should be able to find plenty of material to keep her up o' nights. She is a quiet person, albeit the possessor of a number of entertaining stories. We wish Jan great success and know that she will attain it. x6 Lafayette Street, Springfield, Massachusetts Central High School Springfield Junior College Library Science Florence Ruth Mittnacht "Flo" Flo is one of those fortunate ones who say and do things with the utmost ease.

Some library will be fortunate to secure her for its staff. 75 Maynard Street, Arlington, Massachusetts Girls' Latin School Library Science Unity Club (3, 4).

Chatham, New York Chatham High School Secretarial Studies Elizabeth O'Connor "Betsy" Betsy's eternal smiles and "pep" have won her a host of friends every- where, and it is rumored that not a few of these hail Tufts and B.

Who would ever suspect that Esther's main ambition is to go up in an airplane? 110 Callender Street, Dorchester, Massachusetts Dorchester High School Secretarial Studies Alleine Jane Phillips Alleine's chuckle is almost as famous as her tennis-playing. "What are you laughing at, Alleine?" "I've forgotten, but it's awfully funny." She is certain to be as popular with her employer as she is with us.

How can such a young looking bunch of humanity become a sedate, austere librarian? She's from Maine and has managed to retain the rosy cheeks she acquired there many years ago.

In fact, who can say that any one of Simmons' classes is not splendid? But just to show that we are not seeking idle, empty praise, we can show you what records we are leaving behind us. And in so doing, it behooves us to show what capable, active, and worth- while girls have made '2.9 what it is. While it is not worthy to eulogize oneself and one's achievements, neither is there virtue in hiding one's candle under a bushel. If, therefore, in leaving with you a record of our accomplishments, you will take heed and set for yourself a goal beyond this, then our efforts will have further justified themselves. Never did a more verdant group of Freshmen grace the corridors of Simmons than we, when we entered in 1915. We are firmly convinced that since our admission, the entrants grow yearly less juvenile and more sophisticated. After selecting a comrade or two, we gradually oriented ourselves, though not without the help of the Faculty Orientation Program, and our Freshman Bible, which was virtually a Prayerbook to us. When we were sufficiently established, elections were held, and Miriam McKay was elected president. It was a fortunate choice, as shown later, when at midyear elections, she was unanimously re-elected, an honor hitherto unknown. It is with regret that we recall the names of many, that year prominent among us, but since, withdrawn. The Freshman Frolic proved a source of merriment and delight. Remember Pat McEvoy as Topsy? Florence Randall certainly deserved the prize she won for the funniest costume. The success of this party was due to the efforts of the several enter- tainers, and Sunny Eaton, Chairman. The Freshman-Junior Picnic, held at the beach at Marblehead proved a very successful get-together. We certainly grew to know our Junior sisters on that occasion. Knickers and bare feet usually do make people feel more intimate. Track Day that year was not without its thrills, for Marion Raymond won the individual cup, also the archery cup. This reminds us that the basketball champion- ship for that year went to '2.9 and the tennis singles honors to Marjorie Oettinger, ex-'i9, and the doubles to her and Alleine Phillips. Many girls started at once to work in various clubs and societies. Came the finals, as they say, and off we scampered to summer diversion. Thus endeth the chronicles of year one. All things must end, vacations especially. Recalling — or was it anticipating the "Ode to Duty" — we returned as Sophomores. This year we started immediately under the leadership of El Schuyler to "do things." The struggle over the rope in Ghost Walk was absolutely nil when compared to the mental and verbal battles over the class ring. And, we are now glad to say, the good old S. C. won, changed only by a bit of hammering in some cases, symbolic, no doubt, of the struggle for its very existence. We are just beginning to realize that S. C. means more than "sweet child" and other nicknames. That settled, we thought it prudent to keep up with our big sisters by having a sort of prom for ourselves, which we forthwith named the "Sopho- more Shuffle". May we have a tiny flower from a bouquet for this? It is now an annual affair. In athletics we duplicated most of our previous records, adding the archery tourna- ment and the award for Track Day costumes, with Mary Geddes chairman of this committee. Marion Raymond received the individual basketball cup. 142 """** M ICU0)COSM^^ Sophomore Luncheon was all we anticipated. Harriet Gilbert was an efficient and charming chairman; "Rube" made us giggle as she toasted the things one properly toasts; while Thelie Coombs in her orchid dress "cut quite a figure," with the pussy all dressed up in a bow of the same color. The entertainment was in the nature of a prophecy, but due to the excitement of having our pictures taken, some of us didn't hear of our fate until several days later. And speaking of pictures! remember how funny the girl next to us looked? May Day dawned cold and wet; we dawned likewise, to watch the pantomime of the "Sleeping Beauty." Strange to say, we almost forgot our discomfort while en- joying the entertainment and helping the strawberry shortcake to disappear. We have Jo Mang, ex-'zcj, to thank for everything but the weather; she was chairman. This event was followed by elections, and the Sophomore-Senior Picnic. Barbara Bowen headed this excursion. Like the Shuffle, it was a first attempt, and proved very successful. Again, we tackled finals, this time with a sly wink; we knew we'd come back. So we departed, leaving Rube Snow Chairman of the Junior Welcoming Com- mittee, as well as president of the class. During the summer we heard who our fresh- man was, or were, in many cases. Sometimes, we wrote very motherly letters, con- taining much advice based on the experiences of our own colorful past. September of 1917 saw us back again, this time as genuine upper classmen. During Freshmen Week, however, we learned, to our utter disillusionment that we were not upper classmen to the fullest extent because we could not command meek and lowly "uncosmeticated" freshmen to carry books and run errands for us with any degree of success. And, all this time, we were doing our best to show Boston to our sister class. How many of the scenes illustrated in this book did you proudly point out as Boston's finest? Field hockey took up time in the fall, but our record in that sport is not quite equal to that made in basketball. After winning the championship for the third consecutive time, we had the basketball cup given to us permanently. That record has not been achieved since 1914. It seems as though some people just can't miss a basket, while others of us could not even put the ball in a waste basket on the first try. On Track Day, we again were fortunate in receiving the costume award, thanks to Helen Kabisch's designing it. Marion Raymond won the individual cup for the third time. Have you ever seen her do her famous broad jump? No wonder she is the lucky member of our class to wear an S. A. A. blazer, the only one in College now. Our ability, however, is not all one-sided, as you can see by referring to the list of Academy members, as well as S. A. A. About twenty girls were initiated in November from the class of '19. Perhaps you think we weren't proud. During this time, too, we were able to produce several remarkably good actresses. As a matter of fact, "Joint Owners in Spain" drew the prize in the Class Play Competi- tion that year. Janet Cohn has won our applause in a great number of college perform- ances. Betty Madden, too, has "played her part." Both of these girls coached the Class Plays this year. Back stage, also, there are stars that shine, and thunder that rolls. Aren't the stage hands and officials fascinating in their uniform (overalls, in case you have missed the sight)? Junior Prom was one of the outstanding events of the year, principally because that is the one thing all juniors live for. Many of us still carry our attractive white-kid pocketbooks that were our favors. The men's favors seemed highly appreciated also, as was shown by the way many were pressed into immediate service as cake boxes. Mary Geddes certainly did a splendid piece of work, with her committee, in planning such a perfect affair. The senior serenade was touching; even the men admitted that. Most of the girls and their escorts went in groups on house parties the following day, everywhere from Maine to Cape Cod. 143 ""^ MICDfUmSM** 3 *- ICRfCOSi Senior year started with a swish and a flutter as the most high Class of 192.9 marched through the vast corridors of the great institution in flowing robes and with majestic mien. Ah! Well, that is just the way we felt. Even the thrills of commencement could not surpass the excitement of our first public appearance as full-fledged seniors in our caps and gowns. Edith Carter was elected President of Student Government, and an excellent one she has been. It was our pleasure that she went to the Student Government Convention in Missouri just before Christmas. Marion Spearin took the Class President's Chair this year. We can be proud of all our officers this year as we have been of those of all of our four years . Senior Housewarming, as usual, turned out to be a Hobo Party. Never was such a motley horde collected. Try as hard as one could, no power on earth could imagine one of those picturesquely tattered tramps in stunning silken prom gowns. We can also whisper that much dignity was lost in the antics of certain individuals participating in such contests as cracker chewing and dressing in strange, knotted garments. We thank Fran Zink for this revelation; she was chairman. Another of our achievements is the revival of the MIC Show. This year it was a three- act play written and directed by the editor of Microcosm. By their applause, the audi- ence indicated that MIC Show had staged a most successful comeback. We hope that the future classes will do their part to re-establish the tradition of presenting a show of some kind, whether it be a musical one, such as the one of 1916 was, or one like "Sally's Stand" of 192.9. During the fall, along with other things, we were busy with field hockey again. Fran Sondergard was so busy with it that she won the individual cup — just one more of Fran's achievements. Speaking of athletic honors, we are proud to have four wear- ers of the S right in our midst. Marion Raymond, Florence Haynes, Alice Haynes, and Barbara Partridge are the girls. That, of course, is not the only award, for we have twenty-two in all wearing some kind of S. A. A. insignia. Again we won the basket- ball championship, which means the team was undefeated after four years playing. Later, Sally Redfern was elected Senior Prom chairman. That means another de- lightful prom. This year it seems has been very full of dances, but we are glad, for who knows when we shall get to another Simmons dance after June when we scatter to the far corners of the earth. Before closing, we feel that we must mention the fun we have had putting bricks in the new wing — theoretically, of course. A circus, a rummage sale, pledge cards, per- sonal services of all kinds, and a thousand good wishes; that is the way in which we have aided the new wing. We are glad that it wasn't done before our time, or too late for us to help actively, because we feel that it is partly ours, and that part that is ours, we are glad to pass on to those who are coming. Now, we ask you, you who have read this chronicle, don't you really think 1919 is "a grand old class?" We have done our best to make Simmons proud of us, and we feel sure that even if we have not set the world on fire, we have kindled a spark of admira- tion and respect in the heart of our Alma Mater. 144 --=35S«?

Here are united faculty, undergraduates, and graduate students; the whole college joins in the work of this body. With such a membership, the work is carried toward the one great aim of forming the policies, maintaining the integrity, carrying out the details, of student life at Sim- mons. It is a high purpose for which to strive and one that wholly merits every par- ticle of interest, cooperation, and assistance its members give to it. Since the membership is so large, the actual details of student government, legisla- tive and executive, are delegated to the Student Government Council — a body of eleven girls representing each of the classes. In its weekly meetings, the work is carried on in as responsible, as representative, as live a manner as such problems certainly warrant. 179 ^ICRdJCOSM ^s^~ T. Parker E. Doubrfire H. Dorsey S.

The members are the House Seniors and House Chairmen, so each dormitory is represented. Every week in North Hall this body meets to discuss rather informally the affairs of the "residential Sim- monsites." In recent years Dormitory Council has adopted the Simmons Code, with a few minor variations, as we know it today. 180 M »CR©COSM ^sp=- Student (government Conference Committee Miss Mesick Miss Dow Mr. Steiger Miss Diall Edith G.

It aims to spread a uniform inter- pretation of the "honour system" throughout the Faculty and Student Body. The four class presidents, a Sophomore and a Junior representative of Student Gov- ernment Council, and the chairman comprise this body.

Sondcrgard ^Academy President Elizabeth Kleber Secretary-Treasurer Alice Haynes News Frances Sondergard Academy is the honorary society of Simmons College. There is need, in a technical college such as Simmons, of stressing the importance of academic and cultural studies. From the President's report of '09-' 10 comes this quotation, "In a place like Simmons where the trend is ever more and more away from the academic and intellectual the idea of keeping one's wits as nimble as one's fingers has tremendous potential signi- ficance." Monthly meetings, to which an outside speaker is invited and which are open to the entire student body help us to keep in mind the cultural side of college life. The speaker at the November open meeting was Walter Pritchard Eaton who spoke on "Going to the Theatre in America." The neucleus of the new debating society devel- oped at one of the Academy meetings. 184 ~=33£S? M »CU@COSM sgssz^ F. Lloyd K. Cann J. Warren K. Marksrcin Christian Science Society Reader Kathryn L.

To its members it brings a fuller real- ization of the value of friendship and cooperation and an increased love of friendship for all the students. Testimonial meetings are held on each Tuesday of the college year to which all students and faculty are welcome.

Like all debating societies, its chief purpose is to train members to think on their feet, and to speak with ease. The society holds weekly meetings on Friday, the fifth hour and, once a term, have formal open debates on subjects of interest to the college at large. It is hoped that the society will improve enough to make it possible to compete with other colleges in the near future. 186 -==3S~? M ICR(DC0SM <^£sp=- E.

Other activities were initiation for the new members, a picnic, and a bridge. 187 "*■"* ^ICR^COSM^" Forum President, Harriet Gilbert Forum is a dormitory organization which aims to keep the students in touch with world affairs.

Several interesting speakers were secured for the senior dormitories, among whom were Mr. Joshi, a Hindoo, studying at Harvard and interested in student welfare. An interesting talk was given by Mrs. Kim, a Korean, who also is interested in student welfare. The Sophomore dormitories were fortunate in securing the following speakers: Miss Sharpless, who spoke on "World Peace;" Mrs. Sargent, who gave a talk on her trip abroad; and Mrs. Parker, who talked of "Migrant Workers." 188 -=355*3- M ICRQCOSM ^ss«^- M.

In order to accomplish this, monthly meetings are held at which a representative of Business, such as Miss Fielbald of the Crawford Hollidge Tea Room, speaks to the club. Each year a representative of the club is sent to the national convention. A tea is given at which the Sophomores of the previous year are admitted to membership.

The activities this year have been many and varied. They include a bridge to welcome the Freshmen, joint meeting with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Menorah, dramatic meetings, and a formal dance.

The Simmons Newman Club belongs to the New England Province of the National Feder- ation of College Catholic Clubs. It is one of the most active organizations of its kind, and has long been considered extremely successful in its efforts to carry out the ideals of its Patron, Cardinal Newman. This year, in addition to the annual formal dance, bridge, and teas, Newman took part in a retreat for college girls, which was given at the Cenacle Convent in Brighton. The club also acted as hostess at a tea which was given for the New England Province of the National Federation in order to interest some influential Catholics of Boston in the work of the Catholic Clubs. 192 -==3S~?

Miss Mesick expressed the opinion that she has never seen a finer selection of plays on the Simmons stage than has been shown this year. She also feels they were par- ticularly well done. In fact, she thinks that it has been the most successful year that she can remember for the Dramatics Club. Janet Cohn, well-known for her own excellent acting, succeeded in imparting that same ability to the Junior cast which won the prize in the competitive plays in March.

Who will deny that some looked too young to be allowed out of mother's sight, to say nothing of going to a party? We were too innocent to be afraid, however, and besides, some of us were al- most grown up. One boy wore long jeans and a girl had a long braid. We noticed they joined the rest of us when we played drop-the-handkerchief, London Bridge, jump- rope, and marbles, though we wore rompers and rag curls. We really used our new-found liberty very well except when we ate ice cream and lollipops in the morning and between meals. Those were given to us. What else could we do? We suspect now that they were part of a hardening process against pickle and ice cream at midnight. 214 -=35S~?

We'd have had the prize for the costume, too, if we hadn't been required to wear gym suits. igzj This year we grew tails and ears. And of course we were catty enough to think the costume prize belonged to us. Anyway, we had the pleasure of watching another freshman class perform, but we still retained our athletic prowess. itjiS This year we became most ferocious looking tomcats (like those in the pic- ture) both in appearance and agility. We had to be; because next year we shall have to attend in mourning — our caps and gowns — . And though I hopped and jumped to show those young fry that "there's life in the old bird yet," I realize now that the college yard has seen another old cat die. — From A Line A Day. 215 M 1CR0)COSM $g£3Z= Sheeted figures writhe and twine, Clammy serpents chill the spine.

Lavender, sweet peas, and pink roses decorate the tables. Snowy linen and gleaming silver seem to signify delicious food. Lavender ribbons issue forth from the fern in the center of each table as from some great Jack Horner Pie. On the head table stands a black cat, "monarch of all he surveys." Now two hundred or more girls are seating themselves and at a word pull the rib- bons, to discover gold rings bearing an S. C. Now they are eating; now they listen to toasts and speeches which they seem to enjoy heartily. Now a man with black mous- tache reads a poem on "rose-colored glasses." It is a birthday party, explains the stranger's mentor. The class of 19x9 of Simmons College celebrates its coming of age. They have now earned the right to be considered members of the Simmons family, and the privilege to wear the symbol of the member- ship, the Simmons ring. 217 ""-'* MIC^COSM^^- Sophomore ZMay "Day "^L-iZj Seniors, get up, get up." So sang the Sophomores in quavering voices on May Day morning. We could well taunt the Seniors for their drowsiness, for we were proud of our own will power. Astronomers say that the sun rises every day, but there are some who still doubt that it rose on that morning. A heavy, wet blanket of fog enshrouded the campus. Little chills of self-righteousness chased up and down the limbs of the Sophomores as the more strongminded Seniors drizzled out into the mist. It is one of the cruel facts of life that humans enjoy seeing their fellows suffer worse than they. On this occasion the audience were much amused to recognize the fairies tripping on the green in the usual diaphanous costume. Great was the admiration for the Spartan courage of our King and Queen, who watched the revels of their subjects with unfeigned pleasure and chatterless teeth. The familiar fairy tale of Sleeping Beauty was enacted with one variation from the original. Instead of being put to sleep, the Beauty had been transformed into a lifeless form of marble which needs must be thawed into life by the Prince's kiss. The actors proved their ability to perform under any atmospheric conditions. The traditional strawberry short cake was well received. It fulfilled the function of all good food by restoring drooping spirits to the point where life is considered worth living. 218 ^MICR(|)COSM^ The Weddings of '29 1 92.9-1917 Boston, October 1925 One of the most brilliant triumphs that this city has seen for many seasons was the wedding this morning of Miss 192.9 to Mr. 192.7, both of Simmons Col- lege. The bride, who was charming in pure white satin with a train which was regal in length, was preceded by two flower girls, her nieces, and fol- lowed bv her maid of honor and four bridesmaids all in pastel shades. It was breathed that the ushers were of the gentler sex, but that is difficult to believe in view of their handsome masculinity. Both bride and groom are of large families. Refectory Hall was filled to the doors with Twenty-Seveners and Twenty-Niners. After a dainty wedding breakfast the newly-married couple departed amidst showers of confetti to a destination not divulged. It was gen- erally believed, however, that both bride and groom are at present too busy with their careers to leave on an extended trip. 1931-192.9 Boston, October 1927 The wedding of Miss 192.9 to Mr. 192.7 at this time two years ago was equalled in brilliance and interest by the mar- riage this morning of Miss 1931 to Mr. 192.9, twin brother of Miss 19x9. It was very fitting that Rev. Dr. Schuyler, who has long been a friend of the 192.9 fam- ily should officiate on this first Saturday after his installation. Again Refectory Hall was filled to capacity with the families of the couple. Notwithstanding the large number, however, a breathless silence reigned during the ceremony, broken only by Dr. Schuyler's fine voice and the some- what tremulous but earnest voices of the bride and groom. Only as the procession passed through the door did the quiet give way to a buzz of admiration. "How beautiful" — "the bride" — "that gown" — "hand- some ushers" — one heard only snatches. And, as the couple drove away, the cry: "Too busy for a honeymoon — these modern ways." 219 "^ MIC^QCOSM^^ Freshman-Junior Ticnic "For it's always fair weather when good fellows get together." That this is truth was proved by the Freshman-Junior Picnic of 1918. Fouler weather from the point of view of a sailor could not be known. The Nantasket boat nosed her way through a grey screen. Rain come down in sheets, but all unwitting, we danced to the tune of the orchestra within. Those adventuresome spirits who cared naught for wind nor weather were rewarded later, however, when the sun came out and convinced the owners of amusements that it would be profitable to begin their season. It is said that two daredevils went in swimming. We have no casualty records to prove this. A basket lunch and a second boat ride this time on a choppy sea concluded the after- noon. The motion of the boat beneath dancing feet was not unlike the unexpected waves in the Refectory floor. In short, with Chappie playing, one felt quite at home. 220 M iciudcosm ^S3^" Soft words murmured, gentle laughter, Faces drifting by, Melody floating, low tones wafted. Tints of sunset sky.

I'm a bum Hallelujah! bum again — " These words which were part of the battlecry of the deputation from cell 13, ex- pressed fitly the humor of the entire Tramp's Convention. Hoboes from every corner of the world, hoboes from every walk of life were represented at this great meeting. Many who had been forced by modern culture to lead a life which by baser mortals is called civilized, reveled in the chance to consider the bigger and deeper things of life. For there was a purpose other than that of sociability; namely, the house- warming of North Hall. What ceremony could be more fitting than an expression of what is sacrificed by those who live in houses! Doubtless, too, those present bade a sad farewell to that carefree wanderlust of undergraduate days. Weighty problems were solved that night, such as how to eat soda crackers with- out water and how to dress quickly in clothes which may have been dropped sud- denly by a railroad track. Doughnuts, cider, cheese, popcorn and apples were given with no such request as "Saw the wood back of the house" until many a tramp complained that the corners of his square meal hurt him. And then, he took to the road again singing, "Hallelujah, I'm a bum!" 222 M lCR(t)COSM ^!S*=~ Ye ChriHmas "Dinner 'Come one, come all," the heralds call.

School of Household Economics This is more commonly known as the Diamond Ring Course. It is planned primarily for women who wish to keep house after they are married; to teach young children how to do the work; to write articles for the Home Ec. column in the News; to lecture on subjects of general interest, such as: "The Use of Alaskan Wheat in Making Raised Biscuit" and "Influence on Cake Making at the height of 3937^2 feet above Sea Level of using flour made from Mexican Wheat;" to make children's clothes last; plan layouts, and trim bonnets; to be consulting dietitians to Eskimos, planning bal- anced rations of seal blubber, whale meat, and reindeer moss; to compute grams of carbohydrates for domestic animals; to entertain with ease, conducting meals com- fortably in spite of difficulties in dealing with green maids; to preside at buffet lunch- eons with dignity; and to discuss with ease any subject while carving gracefully at dinner. This is the most rounded out and round-about course that Simmons has to offer. Practise work makes perfect all points emphasized in lectures and textbooks. Field work is provided under the auspices of the S.S.P.C.F.C. (Simmons Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Fellow Class Mates) by the distribution of laboratory prod- ucts among students in other courses. The four year programme or more leads toward the degree of B.S. (Butchered Scholarship). B. School of Secretarial Studies The programme in this course combines academic and cultural subjects with those of a technical nature. After completing four years of this course, a student should know how to take orders at the rate of 1x5 words a minute and transcribe them into action at the speed required by her instructor or employer. Office training is practised during frequent visits to the Dean's Office and Room 12.5. Cultural background is supplied by attendance at lectures and classes given in and about the college building and institutions on the other side of Massachusetts Avenue. Graduates of this school are placed in excellent positions shortly after graduation, that is, from one to fifty years. The types of jobs offered are varied, and those filled are unique. There are former graduates now filling positions commanding large sal- aries and great prestige. An example of such a position is secretary to the treasurer of the Association of Future Women Office Holders. This is very lucrative, especially when the treasurer herself is away. The hours generally range from 11 until 1 with an hour out for lunch and from 1 to 6 with the afternoon off. Remuneration is, of course, a secondary item. One young woman received $11,000, payable at the rate of $1,000 a year. Some girls receive board and lodging, and a few clothes (very few) while occupying honorary positions accompanied by the degree MRS. 232 "^ MirD^msM 8 ^ iCR©COSM During the second term of the senior year, most of the students are sent downtown to concerns in order to gain experience in such duties as sealing envelopes, folding letters, typing, dusting books, and taking orders. C. School of Library Science. There is much demand in the library field for well qualified college women with at least one year of systematic study of library science. The demands come chiefly from public, college, and school libraries, but also from antique shops, prisons, and psychopathic wards. The types of work are diversified, including story-telling (prevaricating) the dust- ing of shelves, the sorting of waste paper, and other nerve-racking occupations. The range in the choice of positions and salaries is very wide, especially in the case of those who, upon completing this course, decide to follow other lines of work. Any students who contemplate finding enviable positions and earning fabulous salaries are doomed. Admission to the School is limited to women not over seventy years of age. General Prerequisites A woman who thinks of becoming a librarian should consider what are the desirable prerequisites in intellect, physical strength, disposition, tastes, habits, and character. Therefore among the traits desirable are: audacity, irresponsibility, ambidexterity, inertia, and ability to juggle piles of books. The best preparation begins in a home which is a regular recipient of Hearst's pub- lications, and where "Cupid's Diary" and "Confessions" are perused. Such a back- ground should be supplemented by illiterate surroundings. One who looks forward to being a librarian should have had past experience in the violent and destructive use of libraries and library property. The amount of such experience cannot be too great. Good health is important. The chances are ten to one that the first year of library work will produce at least a nervous breakdown, or St. Vitus dance. It is, therefore, advisable to be physically fit in advance. Setting-up exercises are strongly recom- mended. Librarians should keep early hours, retiring not later than 5 a.m. during the week. 233 COURSES OF INSTRUCTIONS History 1,2,3 A course aiming at the development of an apprehensive background in the student's mind. It is correlated with Foods 1, 1, 3 and Dietetics 400 by a study of the Diet of Worms and location of Frankfort on the Main. English 434 Appreciation of Comic Sections. Reading, discussion, imitation, and evaluation. The main object is to find the real meanings and allegories of seemingly obvious comic strips. A study of color and its significance is advised. Reports will be required on such masterpieces as Harold Teen, Tom Sawyer, etc. Assistant Professor O. Ima Wiseguy. Design 100 This course plays an important part in teaching the principles which enable the students to make their beds smoothly, comb their hair straight, keep notebooks in order, and make out registration cards legibly. Housebuilding 100 Starting' with the study of Pyramids in Egypt, the student completes the course by plan- ning castles in Spain. The course provides a foundation for future appreciation of Ruskin's Essays on the Gothic. Accounts 4SY2 Accounting Theory and Fiction. A study of the fundamentals of bookkeeping with sup- plementary lectures from the library if kept too long. Practice in keeping entries on the back of postage stamps is also given. The Income Tax is touched upon and studied from the "Ask Me Another" point of view. Double entry system is used — in many cases triple, quadruple, and octagonal until the idea is mastered. Professor C. P. Ackountente. Management of the Household 100 A course broad in its field of application, teaching one how to manage the home and its members, how to get rid of household insects, how to outfit a kitchen on $70.00, how to differentiate between Axminster crockery and Dresden carpets. Cooperation with the department of physical training has been secured in waxing floors and wash- ing windows. The student gains an appreciation of the art of plumbing by an excur- sion along the piping system of the practise house. 234 ~ as3 Mirn^rnsM*^ ICR©C0SM Biology i A simple course in the study of the bugs one may expect to find in lettuce, spinach, cauliflower, and beet greens. The first part of the term is spent in studying butter and eggs. The term ends with a study of the preparation of animals for cooking, frogs being used because the time is too short to allow for larger animals. Foods I, 2, 3 The student is introduced to the simple methods of food preparation — boiling of water, dropping of eggs, crumbing of bread, souring of milk, pulling of candy, and identification of spices. Hours are dependent upon the student's individual speed at dishwashing, her usual good luck, and her housekeeping duties. Any Student who receives marks above 99 44/ioo%is admitted as anhonorary mem- ber to the S.M.U.S. (Simmons Museum of Unique Students). Typewriting 04 Touch Typing. This system is used entirely. There is no other way. (Have you ever tried to type without touching?) Copy work is done in Latin, Greek, Russian, and archaic Hebrew. The original is English but the copy is usually transcribed into the above by beginners. The use of carbon is taught and excused. Tabulations are given attention; they need it. Erasing is practised, many methods being used, smudging and scrubbing being the most popular. Miss Hunt, Miss Pick, Miss Take. English 264 Commercial English. Open only to students who have successfully completed at least one other English course. Sales letters are studied and practised, selling such articles as gas stoves, garters, fur coats, and raspberries. It is a good opportunity to solve your father's business problems free. House Organs are also studied. (See Biology 1 and Music 13.) Writing copy for advertisements is another point taken up. Wrigleys, Listerine, Old Gold, and other classics are used as models. Mailing lists are compiled for Xmas cards, proms, and piano movers. Professor M. I. Willing. Library 41, 42, 43 Cataloging, Bibliography. The most minute and confusing instructions are given as to the making of entries, cross references (extremely cross!) and subject headings. After completing this course, each student should feel intimately acquainted with each and every author, editor, and translator; so much so that pleasant familiarities, such as strangling or drowning, may be indulged in upon meeting said genius. Also, the stu- dents should feel qualified to cope with any book which may come into their hands. Disregarding a natural desire to bathe each volume in the Charles, they should read 235 ^^ MirnArncM^ M »CR®COSM the title page with eager avidity, and copy — AS IS — with the exception of such minor details as: imprint, edition, series note, etc. (Incidentally, the catalog cards composed by Simmons graduates must always be distinguished by decorations in the form of blots and visible erasures.) A very negligible portion of the time is spent in scanning various bibliographies, chiefly foreign ones. This is undoubtedly a favorite course with the students. Much amusement is derived from the quaint foreign phrases encountered in these books. Problems are assigned, which provide a diversion reminiscent of the cross- word puzzle, and the "Ask me another" fads. The foreign bibliography course is guar- anteed to give one a swearing acquaintance with every known language. Associate Professor See, Miss C. Also. Library n hj, 15 hf. Classification. The art and science of classification is studied, especially as applied to the classification of books by the Dewey Destructive, the Cutter Exhaustive, and the Library of Confusion classification systems. This course tends to make the student per- fectly unable to place a given book in any of the known 2.60 million classes. No libra- rian is properly equipped for her work unless she has pursued this course. It enables one to note all the illustrations, read most of the jokes, and scan several chapters of every book considered in the laboratory periods, for classification. In this way the students acquire a wide knowledge of literature of every kind — a knowledge which will be of great service to them in later years. Assistant Professor Accession, Miss Filology. 236 Tarlor Spice PAGE THE SWEET PEAS "Here lies the body of Samuel Pease, Gone are the peas, Left only the pod; He shelled out his soul And went up to God." HELP WANTED The teacher was giving a drill on the use of the comma. The visiting superin- tendent suggested that it was all nonsense. "Maybe you're right," she said, "but just see if you think so in this case: " 'The superintendent says the teacher is a fool.' "Now," said the teacher, "insert a comma after superintendent and after teacher." THANKS JUST THE SAME Child sliding off roof: Oh Lord, save me! Oh Lord, save me!
