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

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

CB-5 THE MAIQLBQIQQUQI-1 DIAIQV C-Q I i JUTIQ june 1-The days of reckoning are at hand! Last chance to show what you know, if anything. Questions everywhere?'??? June 8-Today we gathered in Caswell Hall for a beautiful recital of the fine music which was so dear to Mrs. Caswell. Each year the memorial concert is given about this time, and we realize anew how much we owe to Mrs. Caswell's vision and achievement. This year we enjoyed Cadman's beautiful new composition- White Enchantment -for which he played the accompaniment to a lovely quar- tet. Anna Pavia, a dancer, translated beautiful music into exquisite move- ment. She was lovely. Then we went into our patio for tea . . . and from the heights and the distances came the sound of yodeling . . . simply fasci- nating. June 9-The last days are here. Everything is piling in upon us, and we're almost through. I can't tell just how I feel . . . Recognition Day with all the honors and emblems to be given out . . . Senior Night and our play . . . the Senior Luncheon! I'm beginning to be scared. Just think . . . all alone in the wide, wide world. fWirh the family, of course., It's about time that I macle up my mind what I was going to do with myself for the rest of my life. And we're practicing for graduation . . . the violets and the stepping stones. V591
