C?-5 THE MAIQLEOIQOUQH DIAIQV 563 h I NOVEMBER 24-The Glee Club gave their first concert this morn- ing in assembly. Considering the short time since they first organized, I think that they did awfully well. In fact, they did well without the consideration! NOVEMBER 25-I learned a lot about committees today. They are the backbone of our organization, and we were all glad to know what they planned for the year. The chairmen are appointed by the chairman of the Student Council, with the advice and approval of Miss Blake and Miss De Wolf. The group then appoints the members of the respective committees after weighty consultation, determining the size of the com- mittee by the extent of its functions. Meetings are held once a month. just dwell upon the precision . . . like a Swiss watch . . . with which we conduct the school! NOVEMBER 26-Hurrah! Today we got out for Thanksgiving vaca- tion! What I wonyt do during these four days of anything but leisure! seo? I li- n H11

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

DECEMBER 2-Mrs. Geritz's talk today was supplemented by a mar- velous talk by Mr. Eicham, the composer of the suite 1ava,', which is to be played at the Symphony this week. Wait until I make my first million . . . 1,11 have a yacht and sail all over the world too and listen to strange drums in the distant forests of the East! DE'CEMBER 10-Christmas vacation is rapidly approaching and we're all so busy on the Christmas Festival that itls a wonder we do anything else. This year we know it's going to be more colorful than ever. Heaven knows when I'll have time for you, dear Diary! DECEMBER 17-Tonight was the Christmas Festival, and it was a success. As usual the Junior High presented the Nativity, and the Senior High presented an imitation of an ancient medieval holiday. There was the yule log, the nobility, the peasant . . . everything was represented. Tumblers and dancers . . . even a puppet show and what a marvelous saint's play! Will any of us ever forget that deep base voice which be- longed to janet I-Iaskins, strangely become St. George . . . and the dragon that she so masterfully slew? Music and feasting and dancing . . . what memories for my last Christmas Festival at Marlborough! After supper we left for the three weeks of vacation. I shall send my children to Marl- borough. Then I can come back to the Festival, the happiest time of year! My sainted grandaunt! I almost forgot the most important hour of the day! We Seniors came very early to school to decorate the tree in the patio, and when Miss Blake came out to join us, we presented her with the Herzog von Marlborough, the dearest police puppy that we could find! And then we breakfasted in state! C421
