CB-5 THE MAIQLBQQQUGH DIAIQV C-65 I l TLQ iwlislovq of '31 The reunion of the class of '31! Marlborough was buzzing with the sound of voices which had not been heard for four years. At one end of the long table in the dining room was a group of girls gossiping about a meeting of the original Freshman Club. Remember the bazaar we gave and all the money we made for that family, wasn't it grand? This voice was soon drowned out by the voice of Kay. Oh, that bazaar was all right, but the dance in the study hall! Just think, we were the first and only Freshmen ever to have one. However, her turn was over, for Sue interrupted her to say fbefore she forgotj, L. A. Playground for the week-end. How I love snow, and I still remember the keen time we all hady' Jun then Patlooked out uno the pado and exdahned,'VThat Freshman-Senior luncheon! What a big success! The first one ever given where the Seniors had to bring their own lunch. We all lived through our first year, and nearly all returned to battle through another. The last Freshman class and our first entrance into Caswell Hall! Do you remember? We have been an awfully good class, was heard to ring down the length of the table as Kitty told about the Senior she took to that mar- velous luncheon on the east court. Food, music, entertainment, every- thing! But, speaking of food, do you remember the picnic on the beach when we were Sophomores? A1 questions. Juniors at last! We were growing up, and just think, we would be the next graduates, but before that many things had to happen. The smart members of the class were the first to have a chance for enrollment in the C. F. S. Imagine being smart enough to get that, Mary was heard to say. Penny suddenly broke the momentary stillness after this remark as she thought back to the marvelous time everyone had at Jimmy's ranch on our Junior party. Wonderful swimming, tasty food, and a glorious thnd Near the middle of the year, it might be said that the class of '31 made its first tangible contribution to the school: a carriage stone brought from the site of the old Marlborough and placed in front of the new Marlborough under Rip, s direction. It joined the old to the new in perfect unity. The end of the year! Graduation! If not for us, at least we were able to walk up the aisle in our organdies and to take our places below the platform upon which we all hoped to sit in another year's time. i621

CB-5 THE MAIQLBQIQQUQH DIAIQV 555 I l Seniors at last! The result of three years of hard work, and although our numbers were somewhat smaller we were still almost seventy strong. A full year! Everyone working to gain her end! A change in the Serendipity from the monthly to the weekly, formation of many new committees, our president, Virginia Chamberlain, our Student Council leader, Lucia Raymond, and our class advisers, Miss De Wolf and Mrs. Brueckner, working constantly with us. Speaking of tangible contri- butions, what could be more touching than our present to Miss Blake- the Herzog von Marlborough! I liked being a Senior best of all, Jayne was heard to say, because of our privilege day! Wasn't that fun, surprising everyone? And we got out every Friday afternoon at three!', just then Betty Lee interrupted to remember how we had come to school early one morning to decorate the Christmas tree and to present Duke and his pedigree to Miss Blake. Then our delicious Senior break- fast and the march into the study hall! The stirring voice of Virginia Littlejohn, our class orator, broke in: I still think about the day when they said we might have our rings! I never will forget how thrilled I wasli' Then Edwine chimed in: Speak- ing of being thrilled, do you remember when the annual actually came out? Murmurs of I still have mine. Graduation! The culmination of our full school life. Happiness of achievement, coupled with the unhappiness of leaving the place, Marlborough, which had marked four of the most memorable years of our lives! ORIAN SMITH. CICISS DPOp!1QCq The scene is laid in a moving picture house. There are a number of chairs facing toward the audience, and in a few minutes most of them are filled with various people. QAII of them will turn out later to be graduates of Marlborough., Two chairs, however, are left vacant in the middle of the front row, and just as everyone settles back, with the air of the pic- ture's just beginning, two women, one from each side of the section, dash in and clamber over feet, etc., until they reach the seats left in the middle. As a result, they sink down side by side. During the process of taking off coats and hats, they turn and see each other face to face, and then both start with surprise. E641
