1968 Wellesley Rah!

Our class in the Alumnae Parade this morning. There are four colors and each class is assigned one of them. Red, yellow, purple or green. We’re a red class. Our class cheer is:

One nine six eight Wellesley rah
One nine six eight Wellesley
Scarlet’s here
Letter year
One nine six eight Wellesley!

It was considered a little risqué at the time, but not censored. The class behind us - the class Hillary Clinton was in - apparently had each of their proposals censored until it reached the point where their cheer ended up being, or nearly being, “senior year, still no cheer.”

Headed home now. Sitting in the airport.
