Brimmzrtnrites GAIN Brimmerwriies has done the usual thing-the usual number of trips to the printer, the usual number of issues, and the usual number of contests! The unusual, however, was achieved by Nancy Nelson, '33, in designing a new cover for the magazine, for which she was awarded the only gold Scop pin given this year, up to the time our class book went to press. The design sub- mitted by N. Madeira '30 won second place, and S. Coe's, honorable mention. The second Scop contest, although much promise was shown, no youthful contributor attained the high standard set by the Society, and for this reason only silver pins were awarded. New Scop members for 1929 are: Nancy Nelson, '33, Wendie Morison, '32, and Sally Wilbur, Grade IV. New board mem- bers awarded Scop pins were Carol Hanson, '29, Serena Coe, '30, Eileen Phillips, '30, and Frances Norton, '31. Page F fly

Qlllass Brupbecp N 1940, when I had at last recuperated from the burdensome duty of writing the prophecy for the Class of '29, the doctors deemed me fit to take a trip to Philadelphia. On my way to the train, as l walked through the Public Gardens, whom should I see sailing in one of the swan boats but Carol While! In answer to my call, she sailed over to the edge of the pond, and explained that she was experimenting with her latest remedy for mal de mer. I wanted to talk over old times with her, but I could'not linger, as I had only thirty seconds to make my train at Back Bay. While lurching down the aisle in my car, I chanced to notice a charming young matron surrounded by her three children. I thought she looked very familiar but when she spoke-who else, but Betty Floyd! She had married an excavator, who was then at work in Egypt. As the Spring term at Brimmer had just concluded, she and her children were going over to join him. However, they intended to stop at Rome, because Betty thought the children were none too young to start right in learning all about that illustrious old city-the eldest child, by the way, had just attained the ripe age of six years. Betty told me that Margaret Haskell was very successful as dean of her Alma Mater, Bryn Mawr, and in odd moments was writing 510,000 essays on such subjects as: Why Parents Should Not Influence Their Children's Ambitionsn and How One Should Behave on a Train. Betty also reported that Elizabeth Sawyer had just opened the world's largest dog kennel in Kalamazoo. Then we talked at some length about the excellent line of goods Betty White was carrying in her 3-, 6-, and 9-cent stores and the great amount of wealth she had amassed therefrom. May Kingsley, who had acquired fame for her daring feats in horsemanship had found that the circus afforded her the best chance to indulge her pet hobby, doing stunt acts on the backs of wild bronchos which she had brought on from her dude ranch in the West. Having reached New York, I had to say good-bye to Betty and wished her Bon Voyage. I q FU'ly-Iwo
