ONICSTLY, I think l'm the most unlucky girl alive. The worst thing happened to me this morn- ing. I don't know how I could have done it, but I did. You see, I had plan- ned a little dinner for tonight. Invited were the family, of course, the girl next door, and-two sailors of my acquaint- ance. I must admit I've done a lot of bragging about having them-but after all-they're really something to brag about. Well, anyway, I went out this morning to do a little shopping for my dinner. Naturally I had to take our ration books with me. I was also to go to the post office with the money my mother had saved and get a fifty dollar bond. Vvhat did I go and do but lose my pocket book! I was frantic when I got home and couldn't find it. I couldn't imagine where I had left it. I called all the places I could think of where I'd been, but no one had it. I prayed and prayed to Saint Anthony but seemingly to no avail. Oh dear, how could I ever face my mother? It was bad enough, losing the ration books-those could be replaced-but the money . . .! I've never been so worried in my life. I couldn't remain idle, I was so wrought up. Thinking maybe that work might calm me down, I went out to the kitchen and began preparing my dinner. just as I was beginning to unwrap the lettuce, the telephone rang. Hello- Hello, Pat? HYeS.,Y This is Red. I've got something tragic to tell you. I know it's awfully late to break it, but-well, we just found out ourselves. Oh, Red, what is it? Can't you come? You guessed it! Fancypants just changed our assignments, and jack and -Patricia Fox '43 I are on guard duty tonight. I'm so sorry. So am I-oh. well, another time. You're sure being swell about it. VVell, gotta run, Bye. Bye Heaving a deep sigh, I unconsciously quoted -Io's words from Little IVomen:'I Oh, dear, I guess troubles never do come singly. l was really de- jected. The bubble of my dinner party had completely burst. IVhat was I go- ing to do? And after all my bragging! I was so disappointed I was almost in tears. Languidly I strolled back to the kitchen to clean the lettuce. After all, the practical side of my mind said, you've got to put a dinner on, 'nolens wolens'. So I unwrapped the lettuce and started pulling the outside leaves off. Gleep! IVhat's this? I picked it up carefully and examined it on both sides. I'd never seen one before, but you can't fool me. I knew this was a real fifty- dollar bill! Imagine! Oh, happy day! Immediately I thought, Here's my so- lution. Now I won't have to tell lylother about losing her money. I can buy the bond with this. VVhy, I'll even have enough left over to buy a dress. Am I lucky! But-my conscience decided to put a word in here, insisting, That's not honest. Somebody lost that money and you should return it. But I don't know whose it is. Finders keepers, losers weepers. Anyway. it's mine now. No, it's not. Call the grocer. Well, a con- science is always hard to battle withg it gets the best of a girl every time. Ergo . . . I called the grocer. It made me feel very heroic. By 'n' by the doorbell rang. Why, who can that be at this time of day? I opened the door. Whew! There stood two of the handsomest sailors I had ever seen I Yes ? THE SCROLL 23

0ne Ngdf lil June. .. The important evening begins with the rain in which I am walking. When I arrive at school my shoes are rather oozy and my hair a trifle wet. I don't mind the wet part but I do wish it didn't look so very stringy. Stringy hair reminds me of spaghetti and I'd cer- tainly hate to see spaghetti-like hair being marched across the stage. Of course I turn my ankle as I start marching to the strains of lWelody in F. I'll gladly bear the limping if only the heel of my shoe doesn't come off. VVell, here I go, so take a big breath. I wish someone had told me that step was so high--too late, now-I guess I'll have to pick myself off the floor and keep marching. The least my part- ner could have done was to wait for me. It certainly is no fun Walking alone. I wonder if the people stare at everyone like that or whether it's just me. I know my hair isn't at its best and that I'm limping, but plush! I don't think any of them looks too won- derful. Thank heavens that old bow is over! Of course it would have been more graceful if I hadn't stumbled and al- most fallen into the footlights. Ah, my chair! I hope Pat's foot doesn't hurt too much. Leave it to me to get the broken chair Cif it breaks I'll diel !!!-maybe I shouldn't have spoken so soon, here I azn on the floor, but regretfully, not dead. VVell, Pat'll just have to share her chair with me. Finally, diplomas. I couldn't have held this position much longer. Pat's getting awfully heavy. My uniform's a little more mussed than I thought. Next time I'll have to straighten it out before someone sits on it. Oh, what hand for the diploma! The right? No, the left-the right-the left. Oh, fuzz! I'll hang on to the table with my right and take it with my left. I hope the audience didn't notice how -Mary Agnes Gaffney '43 I fell on the Bishop's hand. hly heel loosened. It would! If he can't manipu- late that hand any more, I'll know it's all my fault. I'll bet I almost bit it off the wrist when I lost my balance. Here's hoping they get the diplomas straightened out. hlaybe I shouldn't have hung on to the table so hard. It'll be too bad if some of the diplomas that fell on the floor are soiled. I know I'd hate to get a dirty diploma. The end is finally approaching. I'm sure Pat'll feel better after she stretches. Nlaybe I am quite a bit heavier that she is but I hate sitting up so high. Oh! dear, there goes my heel and the curtain, too. Everything's going so fast and I wish Pat'd stop sobbing so hard-I'm getting all wet. Well, the graduation is over and so is my dream. THANK HEAVENS! JDCX. THE SERVICE FLAG A border of white 'round a square of red, And in the middle a star, In our homes today is a telling proof That a dear one's gone afar. For the blood to be shed, the sym- bolical red, For the muse, the unsullied white: dnd the stars represent the dear ones we ve sent- Our tokens of faith in the right. -Patricia St. Arnaud '45 22 ' THE SCROLL.

Are you the one who found the bill in your lettuce ? Yes. Was it a fifty ? NYCSK7 Thank heaven! I'm so glad. I've been hunting all over town for it. I must have lost it when I was buying this bag of fruit. Wait a minute, I'll get it for you. I got it. Then, with a touch of some- thing similar to envy, I requisitioned it, saying: You're luckier than I am. I lost my bag this morning, and it was just chuck full of valuables. Was it a brown leather one with the initials P.C.F. on it ? Oh, yes. How did you know? I found it while searching for my fifty. He proceeded to pull my beautiful purse out of his sack of fruit-of all places! I was so happy, I could have hugged him--both of them for that mat- ter. I restrained myself, though, and with an outward show of calm, accepted it from him. Good Saint Anthony, he didn't let me down after all. Suddenly a thought came to me. Involuntarily I snapped my fingers Cmy teachers have told me never to do itj and invited them immediately to dinner. They ac- cepted. My dinner party was to be a success! I told them to sit down in the living room and read the paper, while I went back to finish my dinner, blithely singing Happy Days Are Here Again.

It always creates a fascinating mood of expectancy as the girls wander in and notes and snatches of melody mingle in the air. A rumble from the tympanies if Mary Ellen Nagle so much as touches them, the low whine of Betty Gerken's bass, the inevitable strain of strings from Caroline Kinsey's, Dolores Miller's and Jean I-Iatfield's violins, and Terrie Si- mon graciously lending her unending repertoire to the waving demands of her colleagues--all of these are familiar pic- tures at U. A. orchestra practice. Ruth I-Ieizelman's pride and joy is a new trombone and Suzie Straub and Marie Claire Pallinger are hoping, too -for new trombones, of course. Joan Della Flora patiently gives the music to Marian Harms and Mary The- resa Hatfield who with the same pre- cision drops it . . . every day. Irene Schirner can meander at will, until the baton falls--such is the life of one who chooses drums, they remain faithful, needing no tuning. Something new has been added- Marguerite Bayer and her sax. Miss Baker's face plainly shows something is missing, or do you play from memory, Gerry? Anita Hillebrand and Mary A. Gaffney and Pat Surtman seem to be on the verge of prayer that Dolores Gray will make it on time for a change-the complications of a bassoon have baffled greater minds. Even though we can hear them, we can see by clarinetists Frances Straub's and Lida Trost's dismayed expressions that the trumpets played by Peggy Surt- man and Mary Davies have begun to warm up. The swish of a rosary and Sister Car- mencita comes ing the work of making noise into music begins. 24 THE SCROLL
