At Hallowe'en, Thanksgiving and Easter, we sent candies and favors to the Day Camp Boat at Bellevue for its festivities. At Christmas we made and filled candy stockings and managed to give each child on the Day Boat a stocking, a book, a toy, and a useful present. The books and toys were presented by the Primary classes and the useful presents such as gloves, stockings, and underwear, were bought by Miss Mills with a committee of Brearleyites. In the fall, we felt that, with the widespread unemployment and consequent misery in New York, it would be best to spend immediately what money we had in the bank. Miss Mills ingeniously portioned out the amount that each class was to control. We had two plans, to give money to the C.O.S. for a scholarship for some child whose parents would ordinarily provide its training, or to give it to buy milk and braces for crippled children. Each class voted its money for the cause it considered most worthy. In this way we have assisted in the training of one child and in increasing the sadly meager comforts of several others. We welcome Miss Sedgwick as our new chief. She represents the charitable work of the alumnae as well as the Relief Board. After many years of conscientious leadership of the Relief Board, a task which takes not a little time and energy, Miss Mills has found it necessary to give up this position and retire to a somewhat less strenuous one, as yet nameless, but one very like that of guardian angel. To mix the metaphors, she is now the dragon protecting our bank-roll from ourselves as well as others. AGNES HALSEY. I 56 I
