tention of the audience. And that ended the fall term. The class returned from vacation to plunge back into work and essays - mostly essays, so some of the girls thought. Some, of course, were a little more de- liberate in their plunge but most of them were able in no time at all to talk indifferently about third and fourth drafts. For many reasons, some obvious, the seniors de- cided that their class motto should be - Still runs the water where the brook is deep and they also agreed on their class hymns. Now they realized that there was nothing left to announce, so they turned to the juniors who were just beginning to discover their potentialities. Follow- ing a mass demonstration in the domestic science room, the seniorsjunior basketball game was held and the seniors were the victors, 1346. '39 may have begun to doubt its brain but now they were convinced of their might. R You should have seen your Mummie play, Darling! Their first concert of the year was with Trinity and the school bristled with excitement as it awaited the influx of males. That over, there was a last final frenzy as the seniors tried to finish up their essays, and some were even allowed to go home early. The rest followed next day. - VVhat, Darling? Vvell, Mummie, just was too busy to leave early. Then 'jo found themselves in the last lap of their senior year. - Time certainly does fly, Darling. FS- says were read before the faculty and then before the whole school. The seniorfjunior banquet was as much fun as always and the .-X. fl. banquet was another good reason for Xliss Carrington to give a speech. - You see, dear, bliss Carrington doesn't like to give speeches even though they're wonderfull Then those awful exams, Darling! They loomed up on the hori- zon, and little threads of silver crept in among the gold. llarassed seniors muttered final incantations to their favorite deities and crept down to the gym for the supreme test. - No, dear, Mummie didn't really mind them. Fxam week over, they frollicked happily at the juniorssenior picnic and then threw themselves into play rehearsal. w Of course, they'd been re- hearsing for some time. Prom night came all too soon, and the slaying, care-worn seniors were transformed into starryseyed, fragile goddesses. Q- Yes, blummie was, too. Baccalaureate Sunday was all the more im- pressive when 'jo remembered that they were attend- ing their last service in St. john's. On Class Day they wore their class uniforms and held their rights of seniority for the last time and, when they had formed their last daisy chain, '39 realized that their days at St. lNlargaret's had almost come to an end, and not even the glamor of the senior play or the beauty of Commencement could make them forget that. So they graduated next morning and scattered to the winds. - .-Xnd you, my sweet child, are the first progeny and your mother's class have dedicated this history to you. f You can wake up now, dear, Mummie's finished. gg, SO'

She spends more time in other pursuits, however, as both her academic and co- operation marks would indicate. Joy - the name is synonymous with the girl herself! yet she may be seen laughing helplessly in the general melee or graphically describing some hilari- ous episode in her intriguing past! VVith her outward air of calm and with her inner warmth and sincerity, is there any reason why we shouldn't have chosen her for our vice-president?
