TUSITALA FOR 1928 School is indeed a great preparation for life. We learn to take defeats we do not deserve, to be unselfish, and to be tolerant. Now we look back upon incidents that seemed tragedies at the time of their occurrence. We are glad that such things happened, for they have taught us how to accept the disappointments that will come to us in life. We who are the alumnae would not trade for anything in the world the memories of experiences we had at Benjamin, the friendships and associations we formed, and the practical lessons we learned. Our school life is a closed book which we can open from time to time to live again its pages. To you who are graduating, we of the alumnae extend our felicitations and our deep admiration. To you, the undergraduates, we bid you Make the most of what you yet may spend. E11 ga gemems NETTIE BROWN, '27 to Mr. Arthur M. Densen of Hackensack, N. 1.

R ITA GOMBERG STUDY HALL BOX One of the sources of revenue for our scholarship is the Study Hall Box. The girls are all anxious to put our twins through school in grand style, evidently, because the little box is crammed full of I.O-.U.'s and nickels-for, you see, every time a girl speaks without permission she contributes a nickel to the fund. Then, in Fridaytmorning assemblies, the box is opened and the I.O.Ufs are redeemed. So far, the twins have each gotten a fur coat and three pairs of hose out of the returns from promiscuous palaver. THE MOTHERS' MEETING As has been the custom for a number of years, Wednesday, November 16, the mothers of the Benjamin girls held a meeting at the school. The day and home girl officers received the guests, and introduced them to Mrs. Benjamin. Mrs. Benjamin talked to the mothers, asked for their cooperation, and explained the work and requirements of the school. At the conclusion of the meeting, the Dramatic Art class entertained the guests with a pantomime which was enjoyed by all. Sandwiches, cakes, coffee, tea, and bonrbons were served, during which time a pleasant social hour was enjoyed by the mothers and the teachers. The purpose of the Mothers' Meeting was to help the mothers and teachers to become better acquainted. Page Fifly-Three
