to Maui: iriiiasir nauuoienrimas or 159 l So you want to know about your Mummiels school days, do you? Well, little one, if you'll be quiet and take your thumb out of your mouth, you will hear the story of your mother and her schoolmates. Once upon a time back in September 1935, there descended upon St. Margaret's School a bevy of wide- eyed moppets who seated themselves expectantly in the freshman row. One was your Nlummie and she was just as scared as the rest of her classmates. Some of them were a little bit worried about chapel and the in- tricate trick of not following the person ahead but veer- ing off suddenly into an apparently filled row. After a few months of getting used to all this, during which time Betty McLean broke two piano stools and Anne Perry cascaded head first through the dining room window, the freshmen at last united as a class. They elected joy Hyde chairman and Shirley Narr secre- tary-treasurer with Miss Stewart to guide their way- ward feet. Thanks to their powerful vocal organs, joy, Shirley, Nancy Bean, June Morris, Sue Miles and Eleanor VVayland made the Glee Club, and the class had made their first contribution to a school organiza- tion. In Nlarch, they proudly ate their first class dinner at school with Miss Stewart. Then they gave their country fair and were justifiably pleased with them- Paar' I mfg , ,FuTur X7 i we i A lv Xt x X: 1 , F-uf f All selves. Peggy Heminway provided the livestock in the form of onethoroughly terrified little pig, named Hamlet, and, all in all, the affair seemed to be a suc- cess. ln lWay, Dorothy VVeyand and her mother took the class to the Grotto Circus in YVaterbury. Yes, dear - they had elephants and everything - includ- ing a perfectly horrible rubber man who wrapped himself up in knots to the great admiration of class '39, Anne Perry said he winked at her. -And that's the end of the first year, Darling. Now don't interrupt Mummie, for that's only the beginning of a long story. Next year, as sophomores, they were not quite so wide-eyed and contributed to hockey teams, Christ- mas Choir, Marionettes and Nlugpie. Again joy, Shir- ley and Miss Stewart were entrusted with the rather dubious honor of governing thirty-one little sopho- mores, who sometimes seemed to be studying for dementia praecox.--NVhat'sthat mean? Mummielll tell you to-morrow, Darling. One of the highlights of the year was their class party which QI think it was in- spired by the memory of the freshman yearj took the form of a circus. An unexpected note of hilarity was added when Suzie Pressey of the Barclay-Pressey trapeze team parted company with the dainty ruffled underskirt of her ballet dress.-Oh, yes, Darlingl VVe
