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...

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+..-

LA SENORITHQ THE PUPPET CLUB At first a branch of the Art Club, the Puppet Club has made tremendous progress this year with its four members and two faculty advisers. Every part of the Marionettes used in the puppet plays is made in the club, and each little figure is dressed and operated by the girl who made it. The latter part of the year the club presented a charming play by Louise Saunders, The Knave of Hearts . The quaint characters as conceived by Maxfield Parrish in his illustrations of the book were exactly reproduced in the heads and costumes of the marionettes. The part of Manager was spoken by Virginia Cray, and the principal roles were: Princess Violetta, Dorothy Stevens: the King, Francis Stoepleg the Knave, Margaret Ann Smith, the Cook Blue Hose, Virginia janesg and the Chancellor, Virginia C-ray. This year has seen the initial effort of such work in the Senior High, and since it offers both creative and dramatic opportunities, it is expected that many will be eager to join next year and carry on the work so well begun. 2, ,i - -fi mum s -'wif 57 lic- -e
