Q1 THE MAIQLBOIQGUGH DIAIQV 565 I l OJOLQP OCTOBER 17-This week another contest was held! A song contest! All during the week all the classes have been feverishly writing school and class songs. Class meetings have been called every other Five minutes, and we have sung the linings off our throats at least ten times. This poor Senior class can do 'most everything but sing artistically. Our class song really is a darb. Little good our warblings did us, though, for the Juniors won. Well, such is life! Here are the words of our class song sung to the tune of 'Tve been worlcing on the railroad. Seniors have the biggest brainsg Seniors have the brawn. Seniors famous for their spunk Will always carry on. Juniors have that flaming youthg The Sophs are up to par. But the Seniors have that certain thing That makes them what they are. Chorus We are high and mighty Seniors, All this livelong yearg We are high and mighty Seniors And our college days are near. Can't you hear us sing our praises? Voices uplifted in their song. Canit you see that welre the Seniors, Noble, brave, and strong! i351

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

CD5 THE MAIQLBOIQGUGH Dmnv 5-Q i I OCTOBER 20-The finals for the volley-ball tournament were played off today with Florence Raymond and Ruth Tarnutzer against Min Weide- mann and Kay Roberts. I can't remember the score, but Min and Kay- Seniors-wonl This is the first time we've ever had a doubles tournament in volleyball, but it was very successful, thanks to Min, who is the head of this sport. There was ever so much spirit behind the whole season. OCTOBER 21-Mrs. Geritz gave the first of a series of lectures on the Philharmonic Concerts today. She is going to give a resume of each con- cert during the year and will tell a little about the lives of each composer. If I never become educated up to Bach, at least it won't be the fault of my beloved Alma Mater! OCTOBER 22-The first edition of the Serendipity came out today and . . . it was bad! The poor staff worked their heads off, but the results were far from encouraging. You see, we want to make this thing a weekly and mimeograph the whole thing ourselves, and the results this week are terrible! Miss Blake gave us some very good hints which we will endeavor to follow. Our heads are slightly gory but unbowed. All we need is en- couragement and you will be surprised. We are finding out all sorts of things about what must happen before the blamed thing even goes to the mimeograph machine. This week we made an awful mistake and printed the paper on the regular mimeographing paper, so of course everyone was afraid to read it for it looked exactly like a final examination . . . or a diagnostic test in disguise! So much for that. OCTOBER 29-Another lecture today along with the installation of the C. S. F. chapter. There were twenty-seven members. When you con- sider that our chapter was installed only a year ago, you realize that Chap- ter 197 is growing up. It seems incredible that there should be so many bright girls at Marlborough. At first we thought that no one would ever make the necessary two A's', and two B's that the Federation requires, but now we realize that lots of girls are even doing much better. I think that this organization with its motto Scholarship for Service and its statewide membership is one of the finest things in our school. I hope i361
