C55 THE MAIQLBOIQQUQH DIARY 5-65 I ' I FEBRUARY 15-Brrrr . . . Captain Macmillan told us of his trip to the North Pole. Local color was furnished very effectively at the back of the Study Hall, for a ninety mile gale was blowing in the west door! FEBRUARY 18-This afternoon the Williams Puppeteers performed for us, giving Hansel and Gretel and some short numbers. I fell in love with the elf that danced in the woods and with the skeleton who pranced around, sometimes together sometimes in pursuit of his ribs! FEBRUARY 20-Good old Washington! Today we're getting out of school for a longer week-end than usual. Sunday is Washington's birth- day, and Monday we'll have a holiday. The Senior Privilege Day is to be Tuesday, so we'll have a marvelous vacation. The rest of the school doesn't know this yet! One begins to feel the advantage of being a Senior. This morning the new semester members of the C. S. F. were initiated, and for the first time in the history of the school four life members were chosen. They are Mary Pike, Edwine Montague, Mary Margaret Hob- son, and Lucia Raymond. Today they are eligible to wear the pin-a lamp of learning-the only secondary school pin allowed on a college campus! At twelve-forty-five the U. S. History classes presented a program dedicated to Washington. Then just before lunch we all smiled sweetly at the camera while the school picture was taken. just at the crucial moment, I sneezed! At three o'clock we won a basketball game from Westridge-25 to 6. Who said anything about leisure time? FEBRUARY 25-This morning the pins were presented to the life members of the C. S. F. And on their diplomas will be the resilient gold seal. Isn't that something to look forward to? At one o'clock the biology classes went to Exposition Park on an expedition to further their scientific knowledge. Einstein won't stand a chance! FEBRUARY 26-I heard some girls speaking of the Form Committee today, and since I have been sort of worried about my form lately, I decided to go to the meeting. In fact, I've gained five pounds in the last week and something has to be done! Jean Albertson, the secretary of the Student Council, is chairman. It seems to be a committee of one with Miss De Wolf as adviser. I gained a remarkable amount of knowledge about Parliamentary form fnot what I'd expected but I didnft tell them thatj, and I was overwhelmed by the number of functions of this com- mittee: to give directions to all secretaries and treasurers, to compile a general statement of the functions of class, club, and committee officers, to supervise the collection of dues each semester, and to collect all secre- taries' and treasurers' books at the end of the year. Some job! H91

The judges, Miss Blake, Miss Dalrymple, and Mrs. Spaulding, cogitated long and laboriously, trying to decide which of the many excellent speeches was the best. Finally the results were announced: Virginia Littlejohn, first, Virginia Swafford, second, and Orian Smith, third. We are proud of all the contestants, their speeches were grand. Yesterday the Junior High School entertained us with a Toy Sym- phony written for children by Hayden. We adored the canaries, the cuckoo, and the hair ribbons. We heard two talks on Mozart and one on Hayden as well, and a violin solo that showed us just how fine our Junior High Department was. Aren't they lovely little Violets? March 7-Basketball play day for private schools at U. C. L. A., and we were there in force. Furthermore our Principal was there, tool We won eight of the fourteen games we played. The Sophomores won every one! March 11-This evening the annual C. S. F. banquet was held. Mary Pike presided and forced every one to look into the future. What a for- tune awaits us! Jean Albertson delivered a most scholarly speech on Einstein's Theory as Applied to the C. S. F. Ask the C. S. F. about it! The decorations were Irish, and we all did homage to St. Patrick. After dinner we adjourned to the drawing room, where Miss Blake told some- thing of her ideals for the C. S. F. and Miss Dickinson presented the new members with their pins. For the rest of the evening Edwine and Willi- mina Montague entertained with music-classical-and then a sister act that Ziegfeld should see! T51 1
