C35 THE MAIQLEQIQOUGH DIAIQV 5-63 I I N OVQfl'l!JQP NOVEMBER 11-Today was Armistice Day, and we came to school as usual, for this does not seem a day for theater or beach. At eleven o'clock we observed the three minutes of silent prayer that all the western world was observing. It seems strange that we cannot remember the war which is still so near and so real to many people. We had a short pro- gram in memory of the signing of the Armistice too. NOVEMBER 12-After school today Mrs. Ledger gave a most interest- ing recital. She has a lovely voice . . . a rich, beautiful mezzo-soprano. The tea was awfully good too! NOVEMBER 15-Another contest! This one was the annual drive for the Community Chest. The class that collected the most was to get a half holiday, and the Sophomores won! The Seniors just don't win any- thing! The total collection for the whole school was 577692. I wonder who contributed the two cents! NOVEMBER 21-Ye Gods! Another contest! And the juniors won it. A yell contest! Mr. Bushnell, who is yell leader at U. C. L. A., endeavored to teach us something about the fine art of yelling. He then helped to judge the contest. To change the subject rather abruptly, two new clubs have been formed. A handicraft club which is going to make leather things, hand- toolecl and everything, has been formed with Mary Sinclair as president, Catherine Van Wart, vice-president, Florence Raymond, secretary, and Caroline Mitchell, treasurer. All the music students in the school have banded together as a Music Club to meet once a month. Edwine Mon- tague is president, and the .purpose of the club is to provide music for entertainments and to give the girls experience before an audience. 11393

C55 THE MAIQLBOIQOUGH DIAIQV 5-63 I I Oh, yes, the lecture was by Professor Riddle of the University of Southern California on the Vergilian Bimillenium. Now we know lots more about that famous man and in addition we have been presented with a book of Phi Beta Kappa orations. That should help us later in the year when we all get oratoricall OCTOBER 31-I-Iallowe'enl Today a greatly improved Serendipity appeared. It was printed on orange paper with a ghost on the cover, very much in keeping with the day, we think. I don't know what I'll do tonight to help the witches celebrate their Sabbath, but I know it will be some- thing soul stirring. I hear that ghastly things are planned for the new boarders. This is their time to be initiated. We have a celebrity in our midst. It seems that Edwine Montague has been elected secretary of the Los Angeles C. S. F. Council, but we heard the news only today. The charity dues were collected today too, and we decided to have another campaign. For some reason the receipts were not so much as usual, and that's not really like us. We are proud of what we can do for charity. Margaret Brandel is our chairman. Can Marlborough girls yell? Ask mel Dorothy Hunt is one power- ful yell leader with able assistants-Mary Pike and Phyllis Boothe. My poor voice is so hoarse after today's rally that I can hardly hear myself speak! E331

Om THE MAIQLBQIQQUGH DIAILW 563 I I The Sludenl Council NOVEMBER 22-Today I visited a meeting of the Student Council in the Conference Room. It was a regular weekly meeting, and really I was filled with awe when I saw how much was accomplished. The Student Council acts as an assisting group to Miss Blake in formulating and exe- cuting school policies. They sponsored Friendship Week and have many fine plans for the whole year. The council also serves as a connecting link between Miss Blake, the faculty, and the girls, and helps a lot in dis- cussing individual cases of misunderstanding. It centralizes committee activities and plans to issue the first Marlborough handbook. During the meeting I looked over the members, and it's wonderful how representative they are. The chairman is Lucia Raymond, Senior members, Virginia Chamberlain, Mary Sinclair, and Brenda Jane Boosg the Juniors, Dorothy Willis, Jean Albertson, and Janet Haskins, the Sophomores, joan Bran- del, Eleanor Kirkley, and Willimina Montague. The ex-officio members are Miss Blake, Miss De Wolf, student adviser, and Eugenia Winzeler, chairman of the Resident Student Council. No wonder the school runs so smoothly! H03
