Ghz Quay Sunietp OR the two-fold purpose of stimulating literary effort and recognizing literary ability, Brimmer- writes has organized this year a new honorary society. Membership is open to all who win either first or second prize in the contests which are held for the magazine. So far we have had two contests, and our original number, which included three honorary members - Miss Cummings, Miss Pickering, and Miss Smith - and the Magazine Board, has been increased by the following: Hugh Parker, Grade 3, Guysbert Vroom, Jr., Grade 4, Martha Stribling, Grade fl, Joan Albee, Grade 7, Wendie Morison, Class V, and Letitia Jordan, Class IV. As we think this society will help to achieve the standards which we have set for ourselves, we hope it will become a permanent part of Brimmer life. Page Fifly U 6

Qlilass 1HrupiJe:p OR the past few months I have been touring Europe, seeking inspiration for my future book, which, may I state, is to be the goal of my life's work, and will be presented to the world under the impressive title of How to Prevent Arriving at Class on Time. While visiting Paris, I received several great surprises. The chain of events which I am about to link together began one morning in the Rue de la Paix. I was crossing the street, when a blue touring-car came dashing madly around a corner, almost upsetting me. A slender girl was leaning from it, waving madly, and by her sky blue eyes and Ramona-of-the-novel-colored hair I recognized her as my old school chum, Alice Mahady. We were both in a hurry and couldn't chat for long, but in those few joyous moments I learned a great deal of news. Alice was married - this, with a blush - and was seeing Europe with her husband in the blue car. ,She said the former Roddy Downer was staying at their hotel, and that she had been married four times, was just now beginning her fourth honeymoon. Roddy in turn had offered the startling news that Dot Preston had finished a successful trip to France, despite aviation boots and setting-up exercises at the home air- portg also, that she - Roddy - had met Libby Melcher, who had been convaleseing in Paris ever since her strenuous efforts in the position of Class President in 1928: between the necessary rests, Lib was reviewing styles for her noted modiste shop in New York. Although I should have liked to stay in Paris and visit my other friends, I felt I could not change my plans, and so I traveled on to Italy. While in Venice, I often gondoled. One night a gondola, filled with gay young people, passed us, and one of the girls called to me. It was Jane Gibbs! Al- I a Fifty-four
