'Q 'I J' 35 do homework, go to classes, and put their minds on such prosaic activities. The Seniors, however, hadn't a care in the World. Some went to Balboa, some to the mountains, many to near-by beaches. ln fact we were well represented throughout the vicin- ity of Los Angeles. The choice of May, the Eighth, as the great date was made after great cogitation and after the situation had been considered from all possible angles. Since the preceding Friday had seen the celebration of the May Tea, we decided to make it a Senior week-end-and we didl Tuesday saw us all back at school, perhaps a little the worse for wear, but very happy. We all had a perfect time. Tl-IE MAY TEA A Tea to the Seniors and Alumnae was a traditional event for years at Marlborough under Mrs. Caswell. Miss Blake has continued this beautiful tradition, until now it has become the most important social event in the Senior calendar. This Tea is the occasion upon which the Seniors, as prospective Alumnae, are privileged to meet that august group. lt is a thrilling affair although we begin to feel almost as if we were no longer at Marlborough. SENIOR PLAYS Senior Night was one of those nights that seem to sing romance ln keeping with the spirit of this atmosphere were the two fascinating plays presented by the Senior Class. The Princess Marries the Page , a one-act drama of fairy tale days, by Edna St. Vincent Millay, was the principle per- formance of the evening. lt was beautifully staged with a most charming princess, and a rascal of a page who, of course, turned out to be a noble prince in disguise, according to the well-known plot. The characters were: The Princess-Florence Ortman The Page-Murrow McCurnin The King-Polly Richardson The Chancellor-Phyllis Boothe Ladies of the Court-Virginia Agnew, Barbara Schmidt, Dorothy Karr

Alexander's Horse brought history to life. With Henry VIII, played by Willimina Montague, there appeared one of his many Wives-the lovely Katherine Parr, our own Ioan Brandel. Bar- bara Wilson played the part of the page. The Whole evening was one that convinced the audience that there are coming actresses in our midst who may one day grace the footlights of the world. COMMENCEMEN T It is really very hard to keep from being sentimental over graduation, tor its achievement is the goal tor which we have all Worked during so many years. But when the day comes and We march through the aisles ot Iuniors, so soon to take our places, we will march with pride and perhaps with tears, for one of life's high moments will be ours. And to Miss Blake and the Faculty we offer our sincerest gratitude as we look forward to years of realization of the high ideals they have instilled in us.
