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

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

IMLWLIIN ANT NIQVEMENTS 55 Upon assuring her that she is mistaken, Mrs. Hinman attempts to proceed with the civics lesson. Ann, what is a Writ of Habeas Corpus ? To this Ann replies hesitantly, Well-it's a watchamajigger that guaranteed a kind of a thing that makes somebody free-isn't it ? You children need to study, admonishes Mrs. Hinman. Your answers are a little vague. Ann's too busy drooling over her picture of Turhan Bey to do any studying, teases Eleanor. Daggers dart between the eyes of Ann and Eleanor until the bell rings relieving the tension. Then Ann selects a nice heavy book and slams it across the room at Eleanor. They're at it again! -Janet Lister MUSIC AND ART APPRECIATION Wednesday-6th period. The stamping of heavy feet may be heard all through the building as nearly all the seniors and several juniors make a mad dash for Mrs. Livengood's room. The first one through the door throws herself behind the potted plant, out of sight, draws a detective book from her hip pocket, and goes on with the adventure of Dick Tracy and Mrs. Pruneface. Rapidly the six comfortable chairs, and semi-comfortable window seats are filled with bodies. The poor undecided girl in the door finds she took six seconds too long deciding whether to be comfortable in a chair, or hidden beside the radiator and she has to sit on the floor. The noise subsides when the two lecturers, Mrs. Livengood and Mrs. Pratt, step out from the shadow of the piano still discussing whether to begin with music or art.
