' 'n,3X cvs' ST ART Uncle Bill LaGrille has had complete control over the upper school's artistic abilities, or the ones submitted. There have been all sorts of terrific happenings in the sunny Cthat is, when the sun's outl studio. The door was carefully and firmly barred for those weeks when the hungry and chilly model frequented the place, but the kitchen crew got around that by peering through their windows directly opposite. After the months of drawing nudes, came poster painting, spectacular still-lifes, and millions of other acrobatics. There were some clever figures molded in clay, mostly done by 7th and 8th graders. Reports on the different art periods, Medieval through Modern, and the most predominant styles, were given throughout the year by the various scholars. The art period everyday presents a novelty. You go floating merrily into the studio and a booming male voice blares out, Please shut the door behind you! It's that door that swings to a wide open standstill the moment you touch it and that you have to go down several dozen steps and into the drooling rain to reach. Then you dash over to the stove, that sometimes gives off some heat, for five minutes of hand warming. But you are immediately commanded to put on your smock, so you hasten to pull on the gaudy thing and crawl over with the equipment of the day to straddle those high stools. From then on the novelty begins. To- day will you be terrorized, thrown into gales of laughter or in- trigued? -Margot Royce OO' ' o S 1 1 l .

DOMINANT MOVEMENTS 51 CHEMISTRY Long before the end of the recess has arrived, chemistry class is Well on its way and the poor inmates are struggling through a study stimulator -a small test that usually has nothing to do with what we read. After we hand in our papers, Pat Pope and Mrs. Jensen proceed to discuss the test while the rest of us boldly eavesdrop. Now are there any questions on the chapter ? The class blurts out some questions but Pope usually beats them to the draw. Mary Evelyn Donworth and Joan Broughton--we natur- ally write the two names together-become disgusted and talk over their plans for the future only to be interrupted by a happy reminder from Mrs. Jensen, The college-board girls better listeng they really can't afford to waste time. On Tuesdays and Thursdays we are blessed with chemistry lab-a two hour period of proving already proved experiments. Our favorite experiment seemed to deal with hydrogen sulfide which sends quite a distinctive aroma through the school. It has been found that these fumes do not affect The Greater Chemists so no matter how strong the fumes are the seniors always survive, while the rest of the school holds class outside. After our assigned experiment is completed, we too stagger outdoors and once more inhale. -Nancy Gallagher -.

DOMINAN T MOVEMEN TS W 53 KENY ON HALL The clock ticks away the final minutes of the last study hall, and there is a mad scramble for coats, and the finding of Mr. Bush to take the Kenyon Hall girls up to their den The arrival at the Hall is announced by slamming doors, wild shouts, and rac- ing to see just who will be the first into the house. Immediately, each takes her respective place-Joan goes to the study room, Geneva sits down and writes letters, Gwen oc- cupies the very popular bath tub, Debby sits at the piano and serenades them all, and Janis pounds frantically against the wall or floor. lThe most popular reducing exercise.l All are just pleas- antly settled at their work, when the telephone rings. Stillness settles over the Hall, and soon the patting of Mrs. Bush's feet is heard coming to the top of the stairs to call someone to the tele- phone. As soon as she informs the lucky person, the rest resume their task. This goes on all evening at very regular intervals till bed time. About 9:30, Gen and Joan also join the floor crew, and they make the whole house shake with their pounding. Just before bed time there is a great rush to see who gets the bath tub, and to the disgust of all, the warm water is all gone. With grumbles, all climb into bed, and somehow, the conversation and laughter go on till 10:30 or 11:00 and then Mrs. Bush or Mrs. Livengood comes down and softly says, Time to be quiet girls. -Janis Kerr STUDY HALL It is now after recess at 10:30. The bell has finally rung for third period study hall. In troops Petie followed by Gwen. They immediately pull up to the table, sit down, and continue their gossip about Jack and Barry. Mrs. Matthews will be in any time now to inform the girls that they have had plenty of time to settle down. Presently Patsy and Joanne slink in the door, slam their books
