REMINISCENT JABBERWOCK 'Twas Bancroft and the Senior Lass Did talk and giggle in the libe, All noisy was this studious class, And there sat I the turly scribe. I took my mimble pen in hand And thinking of the things by which I might recall this frabjous band, Thought back, and found my mem'ry rich. I thought of wood hue sweet and climmer And looking up I noticed Paula, How in the world did you know that? She asked of Hopie, our clever scholar. Rememb'ring then when actress loanie, Restactedly hurt her toe, How very kind and most solicitous, Was dimpled editor, Io. Beware the 'Egg and l', my girl, Quoth Connie of her diet, With upturned nose, and girlish stirl, Hey kids why don't you try it? Group one, group two and through an through, - Joy's voice did fill the breeze, But how's my hair? cried Beverly C. Her page-boy fell with ease. With a pot of paste, and a Tum tum tee Decorations were made by the Jans, Bring your money for the dance, And don't forget your mans. Oh dalious day, baloo, balay Our yearbook's evolution, d Hard work and thought and business sense, Bev K. and staff-solution. A mournful cry from Joan McKoan We heard so loud and long- But Dad says no-it's not too good She beened back to Bushong. Oh Nellie dear, you must give me Some saltines, I love them so . Alack alas, no more for Anne, Nellie had to say no . Poor Connie sans her giggle, Those 'pendix love to tease, Why don't you have them out my dear, Said the Hair do -Patty Pease. 'Twas Bancroft and the Senior Lass Did talk and giggle in the libe , All noisy was this studios class, And there sat I the turly scribe. NANCY SEDER ONE LAST LOOK AT THE SENIORS Let's look at the class of forty-seven , Whose members total four and eleven. We studied for exams and tests so hard, At last we can our books discord. We have Connie, Joy, and Patty Pease, Who commute from Grafton with the greatest of ease Ther's Connie Caron with voice like a sigh, Whose diet should be called The Egg and l . Our president, Hopie, with the fair locks, Roots for Boston's Mighty Red Sox. Joyce is the luckiest girl, we feel, Arking around in her Oldsmobile. The name of Leicester brings no groan From Paula Kenney and Joan McKoan. Joan Holmstrom really was all agog, That day when the dressing room housed her dog! Janet will reach a very high perch, Her spring board being Old South Church. Ann Hall, we think, should be named The Hair , And as for History, she's really there , Nancy Seder now wears a grin, Ot course you've seen her little pin. B is for Beverly, Cotton and Krock, Oh how lovely is their talk! Fifteen girls with brains and beauty, Have completed their scholastic duty. The year has been fun for one and all, And now it's college in the Fall. This poem has finally come to an end, No one have l really meant to offend. I've written these lines, all just in glee, So take it from Janice, Jonny , that's me. Janice Alexander . .- .... Jae Juniom I NSZIQAOWLOPZJ 5585 Amen . . Cfaaa VIII . , . ana!

Last week I had the good fortune to fly down to Princeton with Mrs. Norwood and Miss Jones in their jet-propelled plane. While visiting Mr. Einstein's laboratory, I was allowed to inspect this Eye into the Future, as he calls it. Upon looking into the lens, the first scene which met my gaze was a section of the Amazon Jungle. A bit be- wildered, l stared again, and there was Betty Bousquet. She is conducting a health-renewing tour for American youths afflicted with asthma. Back in the United States we see Woody Goss warbling with Hildegarde in the Persian Room. She declares that she would rather sing, Darling, Je Vous Aime Beaucoup , to him than to anyone else. More notoriety for the class of '47l Joan Averill and Bobby Gow are holding prominent positions an the editing staff of PIC magazine. They write the column called Our advice on Life and Love. I was startled tc see that Janet Ayres has given up her iob asfiolly old nursemaid of Dartmouth College, and has taken up the art of plumbing. She was quoted as saying, Worcester certainly is a cleanly city. The scene shifts to the First Unitarian Church steeple, where firemen are frantically rescuing Cairns and Clary from the spot where they were blown after an explosion in their bubble gum factory. The great eye moves to Stockholm, where Lois Kinnicutt, skating in the Olympics, was shocked when the ice broke and she fell through. When she was finally rescued, she wes embodied in a cake of ice and had to be chipped loose. 'l'm certainly a chip off the old block, declares Lois. We see Nancy and Cynie at Ellis lsland anxiously awaiting the arrival of their French fiances, the result of a romantic correspondence in the Eighth Grade. Bunny Fregans has been elected President of a Gym and Jumping-the-Buck Club. She declares it is very elevating. Peeking in on a very intelligent radio program, I see that Nina Chute has taken Lulu McConnell's place on lt Pays To Be lgnorant . 861,16 .!lfLlf0 Z0 .qgllfttlftfe Just now Graham Fernald is arguing a big court battle. He is arguing for the defense and the offense. At present he is tied with himself. It's nice to know that Jimmy Scott has made such a success as a bouncer in an uptown night club, while Richard opens the door. Jimmy Hicks, due to his love of the serious, has opened a funeral home in Worcester, but business is dead , says Jimmy. Over in India a terrible thing has occurred. Mahatma Ghandi tried to talk Stuart into o hunger strike, but Stuart consumed Ghandi instead. Jimmy Bowden, wealthy ship tycoon, has iust set up bail for Sally Gooch, who was put in iail for being too rough in a ladies' wrestling tournament at Madison Square Garden.

As a girl progresses in cooperation, loyalty, dependabil- ity, and leadership, she is given recognition by being granted higher privileges by the Student Council. The Council, which is composed of the Student Council President and the four class presidents and representatives, meets weekly to discuss moral and disciplinary problems, and to hear suggestions on the betterment of school life. This year emphasis was placed on smoking regulations, which were strictly enforced. Many weekly discussions were also devoted to the problem of honesty in school work, including homework and tests. Finally the Council out- E STU UE EU lined the desirable characteristics of the Ban- croft School girl. Courtesy, consideration, and honesty at all times were set up as goals to be achieved by every student. The Student Council has endeavored to en- able each student to develop a sense of re- sponsibility to herself and to the school. J. A.

CENSUS EUMMITTEE Beverly Cotton, Chairman ln the spring of 1947 the Census Committee and the Student Council nominated the heads of the various committees for the following year. They were approved by the faculty. It is the task of the Census Committee to take charge of the elections and to keep an account of the ac- tivities of each girl in the Upper School. B. C. Miss Anna G. Mulno, Faculty Adviser AETIVITIE5 EUMMITTEE Last Fall the Activities Committee arranged a dance with Leicester Junior College. The dance was held in the library, and refreshments were served in the corri- dor. The Junior members of the Activities Committee ush- ered for the Pre-College Conference February 8, 1947.

Estee, Faculty Adviser This year the Social Committee conducted a Sandwich Bar at the Blue Moon Fair. We served sandwiches, cake and beverages, cafeteria style, in the lunch room. With the help and cooperation of the Committee, the lunch room was transformed into a scene of Christmas at- mosphere, and our new project was a success. The annual dance was held on Saturday, March tirst, from eight to twelve. The Gym was decorated like a garden, and there was an air of spring everywhere. Flowers covered the walls, and a picturesque wishing- well occupied the center of the floor. We named the dance the Spring Cotillion, and it was enioyed by those who attended. J A EUMMUNITY EHEST The annual Community Chest collection drive last Fall was the first activity of the year. With some of the money, the committee bought eighteen boxes of choc- olate candy, which were sent for Christmas to the two French schools which we had adopted this fall. The rest of the money, with most of the money which we received from the Blue Moon Fair, was used to send food to these schools through C.A.R.E. We have also collected tea and soap for them. Throughout the year several of the pupils in the Lower School have corresponded with the pupils in the Le Havre schools. Although most of our work has been for these schools, there are several other organizations to which we have contributed, such as the Hampton Institute and the Worcester Natural His- tory Society. We hope that our Committee, with the aid of the rest of the school, has done something to aid and make happy some of the war-torn people of Europe as well as some who needed aid in our own country.

Miss Eunice Smith, Faculty Adviser REU EHUSS EUMMITTEE At the first of the year the Red Cross Committee filled five boxes with useful articles for destitute children of Europe. In November we donated twenty-tive dollars to the National Children's Fund. We have been working on a drive to help redecorate the activities room for the men at Rutland General Hospital. P. P. Patty Pease, Chairman Thelma Gaodale Miss Hope Leslie, Faculty Adviser BLUE MUUN FAIR Saturday, December seventh, brought forth the annual Blue Moon Fair. The Yule-tide decorations gave every- one the feeling of gay festivity. There were the usual tables displaying wares for Christmas shoppers. Funds, this year amounting to 5340, were given to the Com- munity Chest and the Junior Red Cross. We are grate- ful to the faculty advisers for their assistance and wish to express our thanks to the Library Committee, Blue Moon Board, and the Social Committee, without whose help success would not have been possible.

Clark, Faculty Adviser THE LITTLE BIPPEB The Little Dipper is the means by which the students in the Upper School have the opportunity of allowing their literary lights to shine upon an awaiting public. This year we have made a very special effort to add some- what to the regular content of original stories by having a sports column and general school news, and by inter- spersing throughout each issue the quips and anecdotes which develop both wittingly and unwittingly in the classroom. We have found the work not only interesting but highly stimulating and we feel that the calibre of the writing and the co-operation of the students have been fully up to our expectations. We gratefully acknowledge the very valuable and friendly help of Mrs. Peckham and of the student body, who have given us a very fruitful year in our magazine work. To our successors we say, Good luck, and carry on! N. S. ELEE ELUB The Glee Club this year was again under the direction of Mrs. Edmund Peckham. We comprise a group of forty- five girls who have all been very cooperative. Our first performance was at the Thanksgiving Assem- bly, when we sang twice. We appeared next at the Christmas Pageant and sang several songs. This occasion proved to be one of our most successful performances of the year. It was at this time that the Madrigals, including Constance Wood, Joyce Reed, Nancy Seder, Jocelyn Manzer, Jean Camp- bell, Janet Mattson, Mary Lou Rossland, Carol Tomaian, Barbara Reed, Mary Givan, Saran Bruce, and Barbara Park, made their first appearance. As spring neared, we all anxiously awaited April fifth. At this time we enjoyed a wonderful dinner and con- cert with the Governor Dummer Glee Club. There was a very good attendance, and I believe every girl thor- oughly enioyed herself. The Madrigals again performed by singing Holiday for Strings, and a few other well- known selections. Our last performance was Commencement Day. l am sure many of us hated to see the year come to an end. Those of us that are leaving want to thank Mrs. Peck- ham for her wonderful leadership We sincerely hope that next year will be as successful. C. W. LIBBABY EUMMITTEE The annual Activity of the Library Committee is taking charge of the book store at the Blue Moon Fair. This year we had an exceptionally good selection of all types of books for both adults and children. Our book store was very successful and with the proceeds we are adding many new books to the library. Management and orderliness of the library are in charge of the members of the committee. Each girl has an assigned day on which she is responsible for putting away books and straightening the room. A. H. Ann Hall, Chairman, Miss Mulno, Faculty Adviser, Hope Gilson, Joyce Schneider, Sibyl Mathews BBAMATIE CLUB BUABB Janet Mattson, President Barbara Park, Nancy Heywood, Renee Michelson, Phyllis Hall, Suzanne Watters. Miss Leslie, Faculty Adviser The first meeting of the Dramatic Club this year was a Coke and Cookie party in the library. Plans for the year were outlined and new members welcomed. ln December the movie, How Green Was My Valley, was shown in the Gym, and refreshments were served afterwards. Several members of the club took part in the Christ- mas Pageant on the day before Christmas vacation. The theme was, as usual, the birth of Christ. A most effective tableau climaxed the Pageant. Three workshop plays were presented at the April meeting. The Menu, by Alice Gerstenberg, and Trifles, by Susan Glaspell, were directed and acted by members of the drama class. The third, Our Aunt From California, by Madeline Demarest Barnum, had its cast comprised of freshmen only. At the May meeting, Mr. Myles McAleer spoke to the group on make-up. Throughout the year groups of students have been to see several productions, including The Magnificent Yankee, starring Louis Calhern, and The lmportance of Being Earnest, the Oscar Wilde comedy which was produced by John Gielgud and his all-English cast. Mr. Gielgud portrayed the main role. Every year funds are raised by the annual Spring play and are used to help finance Lower and Upper School productions. Our choice for this year was Moliere's The Imaginary lnvalid, arranged and adapted by Kenneth Watson Turner. T H E C A S T Argan, Jean H. Campbell, Toinette, Renee S.
