the: mijeji jo 1939 What a variety of well-executed motifs there were at the doll bazaar this year. The Junior exhibit, an old- fashioned southern plantation, captured the blue rib- bon. The puppet show. The Golden Goose, the display of pets in the library, and the doll parade delighted everyone, particularly the smaller guests. Congratulations to the Missionary Society, which sponsors this popular event. Christmas this year was marked by the traditional warmth and cheer. To commemorate the tercenten- nial of the landing of Swedish people in Philadel- phia, the motif selected was Swedish. The nativity play and the smybolic tableau were, as they are every year, an integral pan of the celebration. Christmas dinner followed the old customs — there were the lively jester, the gay wassail song, and the steaming, delicious turkeys and puddings. YEARS EVENTS Carol Service means a great deal to Semi- nary girls. From the opening notes of the processional hymn, Hark! the Herald Angels Sing ; through the singing of time- honored car ols, whose solo parts were sung by Mary Filberg and Ann Schuchart this year; to the recessional, We Three Kings, a spirit of peace pervades the chapel. That the mountain trip can not be excelled for fun is the opinion of the enthusiastic group of Seminary skiers. And right they are. Who can think of anything better than a week-end at Rainier National Park, with hours of thrilling skiing; steaming, tasty meals that follow the day ' s exercise; and warmth and relaxation in front of roaring fireplaces after dark.

1939 TOE MIIEJL,!} What jolly fun was Dad ' s Day! Even though poor old Dad complained of stiff muscles for days, he had to admit that the baseball game was more fun than a picnic. The Dads were given a chance to relax while they watched us swim. During the din- ner we serenaded the Dads with specially composed songs. They took their turn at singing t too, and fairly made the rafters ring. YEARS For the Junior Promenade the Juniors took their Senior guests to the Hawaiian Islands. The pineapples, the palm trees, and the colorful leis made a truly romantic setting. Receiving the guests were Mr. and Mrs. Paul Todd, Mrs. Graham H. Powell, Cap- tain and Mrs. H. K. Hewitt, Mary Fil- berg, Senior Class President, and Mary Kent Hewitt. Junior Class President. May Day! Day of days for the Seniors — how pretty they were in their dainty net dresses with the volu- minous skirts. Our May Queen, Florene Steel, could not have been lovelier in her regal white gown. Jean Fairweather was a charming attendant on Her Maj- esty. The afternoon of dancing on the green provided an entertainment for the Royal Court and the assembled guests. Perhaps no greater appreciation of her school comes to a Seminary girl than that which she feels when the singing of the Alma Mater ' closes this perfect day.
