C35 THE MAIQLBGIQOUGH DIAIQV 565 I I April 9-???? To right and left of us till we were too curious to live, and the Athletic Board raked in the funds for the emblems and prizes! What a side show! April 10 and 11-Days as full as days can be! Tonight Virginia Littlejohn covered herself and us with glory by winning second place in the Constitution Oratorical Contest. I thought she was marvelous, and when she said that the women of America would still load their muskets, I wanted to stand up and shout! Her oration was The Constitution and World Unrestf' Really, you know, I did think her the best orator in seven counties! And aren't we athletic, too? In two days' time a swimming meet and a tennis playday, too! I've swallowed water and pursued tennis balls until I need a day of resusitation in the Red Cross style. The Sophomores won the meet. In fact, they ran away with it! Carrie Belle Breyer won first place, and Eleanor Kirkley won second. It's certainly a coming class! April 18-Oh, what a day . . . life is too short. First, we attended an all-day meeting of the Southern Region of the C. S. F. at Fullerton High School. Jean Albertson was chosen to be one of the student speak- ers-there were only three-and she spoke on Citizenship-National and International. Janet Kitselman is treasurer of the Los Angeles District this semester. These girls certainly live up to their motto- Scholarship for Service. Tonight all the house dogs and some of the day pups tootled over to Webb School for the first dance in their new gym. We were glad to help them christen it and to renew the acquaintances made at the residence dances in January. Home in the wee sma' hours via the trusty Tanner busses. April 22 and 25-Tennis again in the lovely Ojai Valley. Again we are able to take our place among tennis players, thanks to the marvelous training of Mrs. Doeg and her daughter, Doris. A championship is ours! Frances Herron and Virginia Andrews brought home the Pacific Coast Championship banner! Their playing was simply marvelous, and we admire them especially because they were willing to give up the honor of participating in the singles so that they might work on the doubles where our hopes seemed greatest. Little Huber brought home honors, too- runner-up in the singles! Everybody's at work on the Annual with feverish intensity! We do hope that it's going to be well liked. Ura Louise Welch and Edwine Montague are editors, Orian Smith and Virginia Littlejohn, business managers. Helene Goodell, Mignon Woidemann and Vernette Ripley are doing art work, while Sue Clarke and Margaret Viault see that we have our pictures taken. Pray for us and the success of the Annual! i563

Q5 THE MAIQLBQIQQUQH DlAlQv 50 H I ' A X guy i MQX I , fm .ii ' ' A ,s'1QXX , , X... E. -- sy . A 1 , mi 'f ft't ! Le e ' f E i. Apvil April 1-April fool! The end of Spring Vacation. Every one is thoroughly tanned, sleepy, and sad. Alas, for April fool. Even the Serendipity lost its bearings and became practically unreadable with pea- nut sandwiches for editors. And today was the beginning of Spring-I mean from now on the weather should be perfect. Verses keep springing to my mind all day-between naps. I' ll never get enough sleep. It's not that I still have spring fever-I'm just a little tired. The verses were most of them on these lines. fThat wasn't intended to be a punj The world is filled with birds and flowers, The sky is filled with gentle showers, Why the heck can't the school unlax And shorten our hours? April 3-Gymkhana! Horses! Horses! Lots of fun . . . lots of ribbons . . . lots of people and soda pop. This was the day for real horsemanship. Katie McCartney won the school championship, and Ann Arneill is reserve champion. Don't they take those jumps marvelously? And who could forget the august Seniors who will ride in a wheel barrow? April 6-The Monday after Easter! What's the use of trying to stay thin? April 7-Frantic work on the dear old annual. What will my pic- ture really look like, and will I be able to recognize my friends? I hear that there are some screamingly funny snaps . . . with Miss De Wolf as the prize beauty. i551

Q1 THE MAIQLBQIQQUGH DIAIQV 563 I I MGQ May 1-The May Tea! I am about to finish school and I've just come from meeting the Alumnae at the lovely May tea. Miss Blake gives one each year. Oh dear, I loved it, but I had to be so dignified that I didn't feel natural. I'm not going to be a school girl much longer, I-Ielas! I don't think I like it. But wasn't it a gorgeous tea? May 2-Off we went to Westlake for a playday. Up and over! jump, run. That's the old fight! May 6-Today the Sophomores entertained all of us worthy Seniors by transporting us back to the Gay Ninetiesn and the Mauve Decadef' At luncheon today, served on the east basketball court, we were met by the most intriguing creatures right out of the past. And a fashion show accompanied our lunch. What the shy young miss of forty years ago would wear-in swimming, on a horse, and even just next to her! And then such a play- Cast Up by the Sea -and I hissed the villain and clapped for the hero. Those were the days of real drama! Werenlt the Sophs dear to bring them back to us? May 8-Track meet! Hurl the balls . . . jump . . . run . . . Oh, dear, I'm going to be stiff! May 12-What a galaxy of baseball stars! The Seniors challenged the Faculty to a game, and the result was too amazing for words! With basket and lacrosse stick and butterfly nets and shin guards-the Faculty appeared. Will I ever forget the sight? The Senior team had raided a certain great basement store, and they wore the most attractive suits imaginable-but the Faculty-well, there was something about the hair ribbons and knees that won our hearts! 11571
