Ch THE MALQLEQIQQUQH DIAIQV 553 i l IQPIQITILQP SEPTEMBER 17-Wild excitement! School opened today! I did not want school to start, for it seemed that summer had barely begun. How- ever, after I arrived and saw all my friends, I was really almost glad to be back again. I think everyone is glad, but we,d be disgraced forever if we mentioned the fact. We had homework assigned-the first day too! The year has really begun. And I am a Senior! But it doesn't feel much different from being a junior-at least not yet. We were let out at noon, so I went to luncheon and a show with a friend and we talked over our school days. The Marlborough Violet Chain has begun again and it,s the last year for me! SEPTEMBER 25-During school time I am not going to be able to keep my diary every night! There's Art History and Chemistry, English IV and U. S. and I'm the busiest girl in California, I know. But I shall record all the really important events so that I'll never forget the mar- velous Senior Year. This week we had Friendship Week. Everybody went around with name tags tied to her uniform. It was surprising how well acquainted everyone seemed at the end of the week. On Monday we had a pre- liminary contest, and all the new girls stood up in Study Hall while we tried to write their names on a piece of paper. I thought I knew almost everyone in school, but I was sadly mistaken. The girls who had the most names right were entered in the final contest. Today the Hnals were held, and Margann Smith won the first prize. Orian Smith was a close second, however. The Smiths seem to have remarkable memories for names. Perhaps it's because no one ever forgets theirs! i331

Q1 THE MAIQLEQIQQUQH DIAIQV 563 i l SEPTEMBER 30-After debating with myself and all of my friends for days on end, I have decided to join the Scratcher's Club and become a literary genius! Honestly, every year it's harder to decide which of all the fascinating clubs I want to belong to. There's the Drama Workshop! Goodness knows, I adored belonging to it last year. This year Jayne Spence is president, Laura Lois January, vice-president, Dorothy Hunt, secretary, and Sue Clarke, treasurer. They meet on the stage every Wednesday afternoon, and if the movie magnates could see them, our school would soon be depopulated. The histrionic ability in our midst is amazing. And the Glee Club! This year it is under the direction of Mrs. Ledger, who is perfectly stunning and has a lovely voice. Tip Tweedy is president, Mary Parsons, secretary-treasurer, and Mary Swartz, librarian. I'd like to belong to that too, but the proverbial bushel basket in which so many people can't carry tunes wouldn,t fit me either, so that's out of the question. Wonder of wonders! We're really to have an orchestra too, and the sounds that issue forth are simply excruciating. I have a mad desire for a saxophone, but our neighbors have already complained about my beloved dog! Jaqueline Smith and Jaqueline Duffle are running the orchestra. The Social Service Club will continue its good work this year under Margann Smith, Virginia Allmand as chairmen, Frances Herron, vice- president, Eleanor Kirkley, secretary, and Maryedith Babcock, treasurer. Every year they do ever so many fine things. They visit the Orthopedic Hospital, make over clothes for needy families, care for one entire family, and send out baskets for the holidays. I really think that their practical work is awfully good training for social service work later. The Puppeteers are starting out again with all sorts of plans. They must feel like creators, for certainly their work makes the little creatures seem most awfully alive. Carrie Belle Breyer is president for this year. The Art Club is already well at work too. There are posters to be made for all kinds of campaigns, scenery to be painted, and art work for the paper and the annual. I can't possibly join that club, however, for I can draw nothing-much to my dismay in Biology. Considering all this, I think there's just one thing for me to do-join the Scratchers. We will help edit the paper and indulge the Muse in flights of fancy. Even limericks are beyond me, but I expect that soon I'll be giving Shakespeare a run for his money. Our chairmen are the two editors of the Serendipity-Ura Louise Welch and Edwine Montague. The secretary is Virginia Shaffer, and the treasurer, Patricia Ruckstell. Already we're sizzling with plans. Can,t we possibly make the Serendipity a weekly paper? Would it bankrupt us? Can't we print it ourselves? 11341
