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

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

CB-5 THE MAIQLBQIQQUGH DIAIQV 565 I i May 15-Now we know why those same tunes have been issuing from the gym for weeks . . . the dance festival. Miss Hill has done marvels, and we all sat entranced while the dancing classes performed. I wonder that Fanchon and Marco dares to lift a head in this town with such real genius! May 20-Balloons and serpentine! Who would have believed that the C. S. F. had so much lung power? The gym became quite a bower-almost unrecognizable in fact-and the L. A. District of the C. S. F. came as our guests for the last meeting of the year. jean Albertson was unanimously elected vice-president of the district. Elections for next year! For the first time I have realized what it means to be quite left out of the workings of Marlborough. Nominating committees have been at work for weeks, and the officers for next year are chosen. This year's class officers have been marvelous, I think. Of course, our class ofiicers have made this a wonderful year for us, and the other classes have been just as fortunate. Dorothy Willis, as junior class president, Wanda Pike and Margann Smith as vice-presidents, janet Kitselman as secretary, and Jean Colkitt as treasurer, have been fine leaders. In the Sophomore class things have moved along like clock-work: Joan Brandel, president, Ruth Tarnutzer, vice-president, Cathryn Bates, secretary, and Jane Tuttle, treasurer. And now the officers for next year have been chosen, and though I shan't be here to see things happen, I know that it will be another year of achievement. I wish I might be here! May 22-I shan't say much about this date. The Juniors are Promming tonight, and, of course, they'll be having fun, but wait till they know the fun of being a Senior! May 30-Memorial Day and an assembly in Caswell Hall. I like those assemblies. They're stirring and solemn, and after they're over I feel sort of uplifted-which is a pretty unique way for me to feel! The C. S. F. members had a whole privilege day this month and spent it together, making a whole week end of it. I do think they deserve privi- leges if any one does. E531
