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

The whole affair was most enjoyable, and we wish to thank our delightful hostesses again. PRESENTATION OE SCHOOL RINGS We Seniors felt quite revolutionary having our rings presented in state! Formerly these golden circlets had been paid for and secured at the office, a proceeding which was not at all in keeping with the true importance and solemnity of their sym- bolism. Our Class determined to have a ceremony, therefore, a candle light ceremony which we hope will become traditional at Marlborough. On Thursday morning, April Sixth, all the Seniors arrived at school in dark blue uniforms. Everyone knew something was going to happen, so the atmosphere was quite electric. This anticipation was not in vain, for our rings were presented to us in a very picturesque manner just after recess. Ruth Tarnutzer, as Class President, made a short speech, following which Miss Blake told of the significance of the rings. She then presented a ring to Mrs. Overton, the daughter of our founder, Mrs. Caswell, and an alumna of Marlborough. The ring was the gift of the Senior Class. Mrs. Overton spoke to us briefly on the inner meaning and value of symbols. By her side was a huge lighted candle, signifying all the members of the Alumnae, and each Senior held a small candle which she lighted as she went to receive her ring from Miss Blake. When all the candles were lighted, the stage was a picture of beauty-the dots of flame made doubly brilliant by the background of the black velvet curtains. The ceremony closed with the singing of Our Marlborough. Almost the last step had been taken-almost we were Alumnae! SENIOR DITCH PLAY Aha! May the eighth! Senior privilege day! lt was a deep, dark secret until the day dawned bright and clear, while the Seniors went on sleeping and the rest of the Violets had to
