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
