Louise Rce c. Betty Fortwenglcr, and Betty Roche. his theatre, his plays, we gave three weeks to an intensive study of Macbeth. We first read it rapidly for the story, then acted the parts in class, and learned many familiar passages. Then half of the class went into research among the students and critics of Shakespeare, to prove that Lady Macbeth was the more guilty, while the other half researched to prove that Macbeth was the more guilty. The five on each side who had the best material debated the question. Resolved: That Lady Macbeth Was the More Guilty. Mother Eugenia. Sister Leo and Sister Annunciata acted as judges, and pronounced a draw. Mother Eugenia, our Principal, was so pleased with the debate that she wanted us to give it again in the Auditorium, and invite our parents and friends. But we were so busy with our “Angelus that we could not find time. On the Affirmative Team were Marguerite Luger. Betty Jacobson. Regina Parent. Rhoda Campbell and Betty McMahon. On the Negative. Mary Craig. Louise Reese. Betty Roche. Betty Fortwenglcr and Mary Kay Foley. Barbara McCarthy acted as Chairman. When both sides had given their testimony. Ann Marie Clarey gave the “Sleep Walking Scene to strengthen her side, and Evelyn Murdock gave Macbeth's Confession of Guilt in Act Two. Scene Two. to help her colleagues. Many, many other things we did in English, but we cannot tell you now. —Marcella Ruff. —Evelyn Murdock, '33. [29]

Hail, and Farewell. Our first happy year at our lovely New School is nearing the end. and we are almost seniors. English being the only class in which we all meet, it was here the camera caught us. Our study in English brought us back years agone. to the beginnings of our English literature, and the manifold historical influences that shaped it. Our first specific study was Beowulf, that most ancient and most interesting epic. At first we thought it would be wearisome: but the more we studied it the better we liked it. It gave us a valuable insight into the social, political, and ethical ideals of our Germanic ancestors. It awakened a sympathy for the somber mental cast of the Saxon and the Teuton, fostered by the sterile soil, the dreary climate, and the short, bleak winter day. whose twilight fell at mid-afternoon, and cast its shadow on the morrow. The Teuton's love of home and kindred, and especially his respect and loyalty to woman, won our admiration. But we were glad to pass from this tragic epic to the sweet, beautiful allegory of The Pearl. We then went with Chaucer to the Tabard Inn. and enjoyed the wit and humor and sarcasm of his Canterbury Tales. On. on we sped over fields of literature, through the Renaissance, the Age of Shakespeare, the Age of Milton, and the Classicists. Here we changed our course, and having made a careful study of Shakespeare, his life, his London. f 28 ]

Through the efficient and helpful guidance of Sister Laurent, our teacher, we have successfully covered the year's assignment in this course. With Muzzy as a text, reinforced by work books, map books, and special topics, we have missed no phase of outstanding importance. Our course began with the exploration and colonization of America, and led us on through colonial wars and troubles, culminating in the Revolution, out of which came a nation, our own United States. Then the internal difficulties. finding a climax in the Civil War. followed by tedious reconstruction entanglements. Coming down to the World War. of which we made a careful study, we then launched out on present-day problems, so numerous and so intricate. In this last phase of our year’s work we found much help in the “New York News Review. Through this plan of socialized study and group work we have acquired a better appreciation of the privileges and blessings which are ours at so dear a cost. We set a higher value on our country's heroes, on the shrines of patriotism, and the seats of power which have become a common heritage. May the love and sympathy awakened through the study of our country he to us an inspiration in social, political, and intellectual fields, to enrich and ennoble our country's ideals.
