58 THE BLUE MOON As you watch him hungrily guzzling the milk, you feel a wee bit hungry yourself, and the sound of the breakfast gong brings you hurrying to the house. Then you sit down to a steaming plate of golden-brown sausages and flaky muflins with the butter oozing out on all sides. Leaning back in your chair you think, The farm isn't such a bad place after all. BARBARA MACPARLAND, 1935 TRAFFIC COPS OF THE AIR ABOUT half a mile above noisy cities and towns, the radio policemen are floating around in their baskets, which are suspended from balloons. They are as busy as most of the folk traveling about on the surface of the earth at 7 A. M. 'AJoe, if you'll steer that wave of jazz to the left, I'll let these setting-up exercises by, calls Tom: and then, in a low mumble, he adds, we've got to co-operate with the rotund old ladies and gentlemen so that they can once again tie their own shoestringsf' On old terra iirma, even in the cities, the weary trafiic officer occasionally enjoys a lull. Not so up there! Zig-zag across the thoroughfare go the devotional services. A hand goes up to guide them to the conscientious folk who think maybe they'd best watch out lest the wrong gate open for them on Judgment Day. Hey, Pal, calls Joe, give this highbrow music its right of way, and have an eye to the 'hints to young housekeepersf Don't make the mistake of thinking that our radio cops can steal a moment to sit back and enjoy the scenery. They must guide the radio waves so that there will be no conflict. Just catch them dreaming! The old ladies and gentle- men listening in on a beautiful concert, would think the world was really coming to an end if there were a terrific discord and a combination of concert, jazz, play, skit, and speech, all muddled in one awful racket. Hey, Tom, watch out over there! There's a congressman advancing, and if you're not careful, he'll collide with the reverend. Head off that football hero now: his remarks won't blend with the advice to mothers. It's an exciting life up there in the sky. One evening the Aurora Borealis appeared and threw the electricity of the air out of control. WHAT STATIC! The devoted listeners to Eddie Cantor jumped up from their bridge game to turn the switch. An intoxicated group quitted their play of affection to turn off the lights, thinking the police had arrived. The excited boy who had been listening to a mystery story wondered who was killed. These are only some of the disturbances that a conscientious traffic cop of the air strives to control. No wonder he growls, Well, it's about time my reliever came, and then exclaims, gleefully, So long: I'l1 see you all again at five, when I go on. MARY ATWOOD, 1935

THE BLUE MOON AMY LUCINDA LYSETH, '32 Editor-in-Chief HARRIET CoLEY, '33 Associate Editor FAITH ADAMS, '33 Literary Editor BRENDA BAXTER, '32 Art Editor BARBARA P1RRRoNT, '32 Business Manager MARY ATWOOD, '35 - Assistant Business Manager Miss Liixvis Faculty Adviser NSPIRED by the success of last year's BLUE MOON, the 1931-32 board has tried to continue the yearly' improvement in this publication. In October, we set a record by collecting 100 per cent subscriptions in one week. The boys in Class VIII were first in the Middle School, and the Juniors in the Upper School. Owing to the enthusiasm and generosity of the faculty, students, parents, and friends, and also to the very attractive announcements designed by Mr. Demoorjian, our annual fair in December was a great success, despite the handicap of the depression. The hat table, the Japanese booth, and the movies were new and popular features. Since early January, we have been preparing the 1932 BLUE MOON. Our new photographer, Mr. Arthur W. Rice, has contributed much, we believe, to the interest of this issue. We wish to thank the entire school for its whole- hearted co-operation, which we have felt this year more than ever before.
