TUSITALA FOR 1928 -- - THE CHILDRENS INITIATION - BY PHYLLIS GREENMAN The children did not have as severe an initiation as the big girls, but they had enough. The first thing you did was to take off your shoes and stockings, then you went into study hall and the light was put out. As your name was called you went out and were blindfolded and led around with bare feet, and the girls put cloves on the floor. just before you went into Mrs. Taylor's room somebody spilt powder on you, and you were initiated. G, R. The boarders of the junior Department, on December 7, 1927, formed a club called G. R. Later on a few days girls were invited to join. Meetings are held each week and a program is given. At Christmas, candy was sent to Miss Minor for the poor children. The G. R. girls gave a party on Valentines Day for the facmlty and older home girls. A play called 'lThe Queen of Hearts was given and heart shaped cookies and candies were served. All had a very good time. Our club is growing and we hope we shall have a fine, big club like I T and H A. be t page erzffyim
