LA QENQRITH535 i i -, ., W l THE SCRATCH ER'S CLUB The newest organization at Marlborough is really an outgrowth of an old one whose activities ended several years ago. The former Serendipity Club is now experiencing new life and vigor as The Scratcher's Club. For such a new club the Scratchers have enjoyed an unusually full and inter- esting program. Under the able guidance of their sponsor, Miss Dickinson, they have dabbled in book binding and the art of paper craft. The chief contribution to the school has been the publication of the SERENDIPITY, the school paper. The club was also responsible for the first Marlborough Anthology and hopes that it may continue such a collection every year. The members have written a great deal, specializing in nonsense verse, chil- dren's stories and verses, humorous tales and playlets. The light humorous vein seems to be the favorite. In the future the members hope to write even more, to have famous writers come to speak to them, and to carry out any literary program which seems to meet the needs of the school. 2 1 s - 55 E+..-

A SENORITH onu. l TH E ORCH ESTRA This year the orchestra has been having practices twice a week under the direction of Mr. Kilbourne, formerly orchestra director at the University of Ore- gon. It was through the efforts of Miss Blake that this advantage was given us, and we take this opportunity to express our gratitude and appreciation. Although the group is constantly seeking new members, a great deal has been accomplished with the limited number. The orchestra consists of: Betty Mae Philp, fluteg Virginia Cray, violing Edith Gibbs, cornetg Dorothy Stevens, cellog Priscilla Riter, pianog and lennie Bevis, traps, The orchestra furnished the music at the Christmas Festival, rendering such selections as The Bohemian Girl , lv1aritana , many old English carols, and other numbers from its repertoire. The last of the year was principally spent in rehearsing the music of early California in preparation for the Pageant. The orchestra is looking forward to a year of greater development through the opportunity of skilled leadership which is offered to it. 1 : 'f' .. -. 54 .-

LA SENORITHA MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS CLUB The Mothers and Daughters Club was established in l925, and each year its membership grows as new pupils whose mothers attended Marlborough enter the school. Since i925 many teas and gatherings have brought the members together, and these activities have afforded them much pleasure. ln 1926 a paper, Auld Lang Syne , was published. lt corresponded to the papers in existence when the mothers were in school in Marlborough. The subject matter and pictures were old fashioned, entertaining, and amusing, and revived many old memories. The club sponsored the Pageant of Old California which was given in May. This proved to be one of the most interesting and important events ever given in Marlborough. It was given for the benefit of the Mary S. Caswell Scholarship Fund. 2 : Q T- ,- -, iii .3 -. Egg...
