1-xx : 1 :' I.- . -1' xr! 2-is? .3 ii we will always look back to the days when Southumberland came to Marlborough. THE VALENTINE PARTY A brand new ideal The clever luniors originated the idea of a Valentine Party for the whole school. Everyone came to school laden with intriguing lace Valentines. After lunch we assembled in Caswell Hall where the multitudes of hearts were distributed, and a delightful play, A Bachelors Dream put us all in a most romantic mood. E rom there we went to the Gym where the boys received their programs and hastened to fill ours. Orches- tral entertainment was provided by musical luniors, and delight- ful cookies and punch were served from the showersl The Faculty members who attended acted as judges for the dancing contest, and after a final popular elimination, Miss Blake pre- sented the loving cups to Maxine Gerard and Edina Nagel, who thrilled us all with their graceful steps. The affair broke up at the late hour of four, and the guests all joined in a hearty, We thank you! to the gracious Iuniors. DEAD MEN'S GOLD HAT'S gold in them thar hills, strangerlu-and with these words the Senior Class, via Kay Moran and Willimina Mon- tague, plunged the School into a gold rush such as the world has not experienced since the days of '49l It all started with a desire to raise money for the Annual f Sun Dial to youl in some way other than a Good Humor Sale. Miss Dickinson dusted off Over The Footlightsn, thought diligently for awhile, and 'Dead Men's Gold , by Stephen Lea- cock and Charlotte Dickinson , was ready for casting, rehearsals, and presentation. Dead Men's Gold , for the benefit of the uninitiated, is a melodrama of life, love, and the great-out-of-doors, set in Tomb- stone, Dead Bones County, Nevada. The story is as follows: Ascot Wright, a Harvard graduate and the son of a boyhood sweetheart of Bessemer Steel, interests the great steel magnate in a proposition involving millions and a trip to Nevada where

This year, however, the contest having been given up by the newspapers, which have always sponsored it, a debate project was substituted. The luniors and Seniors in U. S. History Classes and English lll. and IV. ,debated on subjects of current interest, and Class Teams were chosen. Sarah Kirby, Marjorie Dulin, Betty lane Stine, and Victoria Ne- beker, were chosen to represent the juniors. The Senior Team was made up of Willimina Montague, Virginia Bose, Murrow McCurnin, and loan Brandel. The Class Teams met for the final judgment on May Seventeenth, and the victories were divided, each class winning one debate. This Debate project proved just as interesting as the Oratorical Contest-perhaps more so, for We are all interested in the subjects chosen, The Recognition of Bus- sia and Americas Entrance lnto the League of Nations. THE SOPHOMORES ENTERTAIN NE of the lovely events of our last Spring at Marlborough was the Luncheon at which the Seniors were entertained by the Sophomores just before Spring Vacation, April Fifth, to be exact. The guests made their way at One o'Clock to the Archery Range, where gayly set tables and violet and gardenia corsages proclaimed that the Sophs had been Working hard. During the
