It is very difficult to believe that our two years at Westbrook ere over. But when we look back across these years, we see many things that we shall long remember. It was on September 18, that we came to the college and, as Freshmen, were the first ones to register in the gym. It didn't take us long to get acquainted with each other from then on. As a reception, Dr. Proctor gave a tea in Hersey parlor, and the faculty reception was held a few weeks later. But this was only the first of the many social functions to follow. Came Freshman week with its pigtails and air raids. Soon after that we held our assembly—the one which displayed in full the great talents which our class possesses. ~H: 11 >*- In November we had a Tea Dance and the one-act plays. The highlight of the month was our Thanksgiving formal dinner and the holiday recess. It was at this time that we received our college grades for the first time. Some came out on top, others were disappointed, but we all determined to do better next time. Along with December came Mrs. Proctor's teas, the big Christmas formal, held at the Eastland Ballroom, the Colby-Westbrook concert, the Bowdoin-Westbrook concert, open house for everybody, and the much desired vacation. In January, with many new resolutions about studying and such, we came back to college to face exams and term papers. Oh, what headaches! But then, we had our Winter Carnival to look forward to. Everything was set but the weather—remember? It rained. We had the Coronation Ball just the same and postponed our Carnival until March. Following these two busy months, we all welcomed the Winter week-end in March. April brought many interesting events, and week-end parties. Among the most important was the Yale-Westbrook Glee Club Concert held at the Eastland Ballroom. We Seniors consider May the important month of the year because it holds the date of our first big informal dance. Remember the Cotton Ball? It climaxed May Day in 1941. Final exams and commencement week mark June as an outstanding month. Those whom we had grown to know so well, and whom we considered our pals, were going out into the world. They were leaving us in their places to carry on the traditions of Westbrook. This, we have tried to do—coming back this year as Seniors after a long summer vacation. We were hostesses to the Freshmen during Orientation Week. It was fun. It made us recall our registration days. It took only a few days for the Freshmen to acquaint themselves and to become happy members of our group. We were the proud "Big Sisters" who escorted them to the President's Tea. Then came Freshman week, its assembly and many "get-acquainted" parties. November brought the college play, forma! dinner and our first vacation of the year. December, according to tradition, was a very busy month. Dancing, dinner par ties, open house, Christmas week, and our formal at the Eastland. After this we were all ready to welcome the holiday recess. The return again in January, and we Seniors realized that we were on our last lap. The finishing line was just ahead. We had one semester in which to make good and we did make good. February brought us the long-awaited Senior Privileges. At last! We were to schedule our own time. The last part of the month shines with memories of the Senior-Faculty basketball game. What happened? The score was 24 to 22, in favor of the faculty! March had its ups and downs with teas, parties, and exams. The highlights of the month were the two M. I. T. concerts. We were hostesses on March 21st at the East land and we were guests on March 28th at Longwood Towers. Our last year is nearly over and Commencement is with us. These past two years &re indescribable. We have laughed and cried, worked and played, and made new and deep friendships.
