N ,Q ,, , HIGHLIGHTS OE THE YEAR THE POLITICAL RALLY EVER during any Presidential campaign in the history of our country have so many national figures been gathered together under one roof. These illustrious personages were not only gathered together but each consented to give a short speech pointing out his or her views on foremost national problems. There were such unusual scenes as President Hoover and Gov- ernor Roosevelt laughing over one of Will Rogers inimitable wise cracks while Dolly Gann looked on, and Charlie Curtis carried on a serious discussion with William Gibbs McAdoo. lt was our own Marlborough that was so greatly honored the night of October Twenty-Ninth, a night that will make our School live in history. A special amplifying system was installed for the occasion, august members of our student association were struggling with trousers, vests, ties, stiff collars fwas it not Mr. McAdoo who experimented with a cardboard collar and a paper clip collar button'?J, and variously shaped pillows added neces- sary weight in an extremely undignified manner.

Mr. Nagel introduced Governor CSunny Iimj Rolph, whose hand raised in that familiar gesture of Welcome made everyone feel at home. Then came the Republican rally. The speakers of the evening were Dolly Gann and her brother Charles Curtis, Calvin Coolidge, Tallant Tubbs, Herbert Hoover, and Bob Shuler. Mr. Shuler gave a really inspiring discourse stressing his affiliations with the glorious Republican party. Next Mr. Norman Thomas, the Socialist Presidential candidate expounded his views. Then came the Democratic rally. Those who delivered fer- vent addresses for their cause were Iohn Garner, William Gibbs McAdoo, Will Rogers Che almost stole the program with his five-gallon hat and violent method of chewing gumll, Franklin D.

A straw vote was taken in which the popular favor lay with Mr. Hoover. A grand torch-light parade in the old-fashioned manner with much noise and merrymaking brought to a close this satirical gathering. PERSONNEL Republicans Herbert Hoover . ,,,,,,., ..

Murrow McCurnin CHRISTMAS FESTIVAL ECEMBER always brings with it an eager anticipation of the oncoming vacation, an exciting 'lMerrie Christmas feeling, and an important preoccupied air of something to do. Even the thought of this last feeling sends thrills up one's spine. Why, just to know that on that night of nights one will be a gay Morris Dancer or a flame-coped Christmas Caroler is enough to turn even a Violet pink with pride, and then white again with the worry as to whether one whirls and dips or dips and whirlsl Do you wonder that this night of all nights at Marlborough and the preparations for it are looked forward to with more anticipation than anything else except perhaps Christmas morning? From the first of November until the celebration in December
