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

' '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 .

Quiet finally reigns, but suddenly Geneva says who's got an envelope ? and Lillian shakes herself out of the depths of French Cnovel?J to shoot one over. Now comes an absorbing conversation about glasses. Patsy's cat-eyes, Peties's harlequins, Joanne's pixies, and Gwen's round ones provide material for many exchanges to see which frame suits the various faces. Only twenty minutes now remain to get the various school books at least opened. The young ladies finally put Satan behind them with a look at the clock, and all is well. --Joanne Howe CIV ICS CLASS When at last the entire Eighth Grade is assembled for their first period Civics class it is usually well past nine. They're off to a rambunctious start with the tossing of books and a few other minor details but finally order prevails. The first question falls upon Nancy who has been known to evasively answer, Have you noticed the clearance sale for tie- pins at the Bon Marche ? This starts a heated discussion on the subject of tie-pins and things in general, with each person trying to prolong the conversa- tion. Then some ambitious little brain pipes up with, Wasn't the next question about the Fifteenth Amendment ? That brings us down to earth once more. After a few painful questions concerning the Fifteenth Amendment, a hopeful individ- ual inquires, Weren't we going to have a movie this morning? 0 We OO' an l -Q O A ' . ,ielifl .' of l , X .3 ,,f,,5,,i tie 'Pr ' .,,u.,w '..--P' EH
