EISBNMANN, '28 The Little Blue Book With Our Marks We once knew a book-at Hrst it was new- Oh, the prettiest shade it was, so blue! With spotless white pages and so nicely bound, With cover so trim and edges so round. It was used, it was used, it ne'er wore, We'd be glad if it wasn't no more. Oh, that little Blue Book with our marks! To hear them was never a lark. We were either proud or shy, As we felt every eye, And at every new number We'd smile or we'd sigh, If they were very bad we would frown, While the class seemed to smile all around. Till we finished we bore it, We always abhorred it, The little Blue Book with our marks. 77 ALICE DECKBR, '28

Though we had been but a week in school, we were nothing loath to celebrate by a day off. Will schoolgirls ever change, I wonder! Then came our first annual holiday, Holy Angels Day. However, as it fell on Sunday, we celebrated it on Monday, October 3d. We had visited Newburgh the year before, and so enjoyable did the trip up the Hudson prove to be, that we decided upon another trip this year. This time, however, Bear Mountain was the place selected. Monday morning, bright and early, we gathered on the pier of the Hudson River Day Line to await the coming of the boat. Once on board the boat the time passed rapidly in pleasant snatches of conversation and singing, the ukeleles of certain members of the school being very much in evidence. We were charmed, too, by the beautiful scenery which is always at its best in October, and before we realized it we had arrived at our destination. We spent several happy hours at Bear Mountain, and not least among the pleasures that awaited us there was a row upon the picturesque lake. We lingered until the last moment, and it was with real regret that we made our way down the mountain to the boat landing. As we came down the river, the weather which had been beautiful all day suddenly changed. The wind began to blow and dark clouds obscured the sun. By the time we reached New York 79
