Wg, Almanacs and Almanac Makers Ever since almanacs have been on the market-they first appeared several thousand years ago in the Orient-they have been a source of fun and learning. Their popularity was definitely established, though, in the Middle Ages. Of course production was limited and the prices were exorbitant because Johannes Gutenberg had not yet invented the printing press, but the wealthy counts, nobles, dukes, princes, and even kings could plan in advance a lovely moonlight evening with their respective ladies, or a surprise attack on their arch enemies with appropriate weather, However, after Gutenberg's triumph, almanacs began to appear by the hundreds. Their specialty was always prophesying. In fact, so many almanac authors were so proficient and extravagant at this art that King Henry HI of England and Louis XIII of France were compelled, at dif- ferent times, to forbid insertion of any prophecies of a political nature. Through the ages there have been several types of almanacs ranging from the Almanac de Gotha which enjoyed wide popularity and prestige as a source of refence for the genealogy of the reigning, princely, and ducal families of Europe and of sovereigns of certain Oriental states. Originally it was published in French, but since 1871 it has appeared in both French and German. The World Almanac, established in 1885, was a new innovation, for, instead of prophesying, its authors compiled all the important Cand unimportantj facts and ffgures of the year into one large book. In the early 1900's the most popular style was that which gave farming advice interspersed with the usual calendar information of science and amuse- ments, and for more enjoyment still, added stories, poems, charades, puzzles, and even recipes. A typical comment in an almanac of that sort would be, If you go to the movies and happen to brush your coat against the heads of the folks in front of you-possibly ruining their hair and giving them severe stiff necks- be sure to lean over and tell them it was their fault for having come in first! One of the newest and most entertaining almanacs to go on sale recently was the Tykoe Almanac. This book gives comprehensive data on the Helen Bush School. complete with pictures, and for general amusement includes puzzles, charades, poems, and other special features.

Of course the charter members of the class, Idalice Squire and Sana Harrah, did not darken the portals of Bush until they had reached the ripe old age of six in the year 1934. ln their various stages of pre-school development the Senior Class of 1945 is seen on the opposite page. Up in the left-hand corner Stevie is waving to someone. Maybe she has jimmy in mind already. Nancy Lee Hanson has a rather judicious look on her face-no doubt she is making a weighty decision as to the time he: next meal will be served. Next to Stevie is Barbara Peyser who is all dressed up for some momentous occasion. Farmer Beck, busy with her chickens, looks as if she is just not quite sure about the finer points of an agricultural life. Next to June is Barbara Vannice who has turned commando and is going to scale that wall against any and all opposition. Up in the right-hand corner is ,loan South- wick. It looks as if she is starting early to get a sun tan. Betty Osborne evidently used to like dolls, but now her favorite toy is a star. Midi Sawyer's famous eyes started charming people at an early age. Sana is looking a trifle undecided in the middle of the page, but then that Harrah brain had not had much use yet. Next to Sana is Adoria Schultz who has her eye on something-it could not be a history book. Big as life on the right-hand side is joan exhibiting the well-known Frayn stomach, Although it is hard to see, Cynthia Schoen has started her boating career early. Katie Clare Roys has undoubtedly just got an idea for the 1945 Bush Almanac and is definitely fascinated by it. ,Below her, Geneva Spalding is giving the eye to someone, and it looks as though someone is reciprocating. Out for a walk in the greatest metropolis of the northwest, Blaine, is Barbara Barrett. Idalice Squire, it seems, jumped the gun, and graduated ten or eleven years ago. Down in the left-hand corner is Cynthia Bruce. She might be pondering over future seating plans for the Bush School dining room. Looking very perturbed over the prospect of College Boards, no doubt, is Phyl Rattray. The armless woman, Dorothy Barrett, is exhibiting a smile for something-a horse probably. Reclining in the family bath tub is editor Jackie Wanamaker. To all appear- ances the headlines must have disagreed with her. Sally Ayres is already for a snowball fight-she only lacks an opponent. Below Jackie is Barbara Ludberg with a stern look on her face. Hepzibah began practicing at the ripe old age of five months. In the corner is Gwen Cunningham who grew extraordinarily fast. In fact, she had outgrown her tricycle at the age of sixteen. The Class of '45 was always busy during its 12 years of education. In the seventh grade a puppy dog was raffled off in order to raise funds for the 1940 Annual. The customary spring fashion show, which has, however, been tem- porarily discontinued because of the war, was originated in their last year of grade school. The models were chosen among the students, and the clothes were furnished by Frederick and Nelson. Upon becoming freshmen they undertook more lofty enterprises, such as the sponsoring of a play at the Showboat Theater. The Class of '45 first won fame in the athletic field in this year. They battled a basketball team composed of juniors and seniors, and lost by only five points, During their sophomore year the class's most outstanding achievements were again in the sports world. They won all the tournaments, both team and individual and received the silver sports plaque for their exploits. The highlight of 1944 was the planning of the Senior Prom. The theme was nautical, and the gym was completely transformed with wave-painted walls sporting mermaids and gaily colored fish. Needless to say the dance was a success. The perfect climax to that year was the junior house party, which the class looks back on, inci- dentally, with moans of Chop-suey-never again! The senior year's activities might well be summed up in one word- work 1944 and '45 were made interesting, however, with such events as minor explosions in the laboratory, and unpleasant odors emanating therefrom on visitors' days. The senior play, Sinister House, took the limelight from other less important activities, and two month's work was centered about it. The final performance on May 25 was a great success. -15- In February the Stanford Aptitude Tests were taken. The results were all excellent, and out of the five groups in which results were classified, all the girls were placed in the first three classes with the majority in the first two. Following the strain of these examinations those girls who were to take College Boards began a strenuous period of reviewing and studying. April 7 finally came and went, to the great satisfaction of the unfortunate victims. Senior privileges were gratefully enjoyed by all, especially during the second semester. On the beginning of sunny spring days the privilege of studying outside was hailed with joy, and the senior table after spring vacation was very popular. The Senior Sneak is always a privilege surrounded with mystery for all the lower classmen. In the senior class, long before the date for the spree was finally decided upon, lengthy debates were held in hushed whispers as to its nature, place, and time. The long-awaited event, complete with sun tans, was a huge success. Of all the privileges granted there is surely no doubt that Senior Week was the one that afforded the greatest measure of amusement and whole-hearted fun! All the girls took part in some way in providing entertainment for the class. Included in the elaborate plans were a dance, luncheons, teas, dinners, and house-parties. After the last-minute cramming for final examinations, we turned our attention to the perfection of the graduation ceremonies, The blue caps and gowns symbolized the perfect ending to a perfect senior year. o Q 53 ......-,,,,,,.,,..,. .,........? -16- K74..oo I .

Virgo, September's symbol, is doubly important to Sally Ayres, because it was under this sign that she was born and under it that she entered the class of l945 at Bush. Sally brought all the assets of Virgo from Washiiigttuii, li. Li., where she formerly lived. She is one of the numerous brains, especially in mathematics, besides being a popular member of the senior class. Sally's main activity Coutside of V-12's and dancingj is drainatics in which she is very talented. This she proved when she took the difficult part of jenny in the Senior Play, and of Mary, Queen of Scots in a scene from Maxwell Ander- son's play. lt has also been rumored that she is a whiz at the piano, but to date no one has been able to persuade her to perform. As gossip editor of the Rambler during the first semester, Sally demonstrated her excellent gift of gab to the amusement of all, and when the second semester rolled around, she was unanimously elected editor-in-chief. Since she does serious writing equally well, her editorial venture was very successful. Sally deserves to be called a scientist. She belonged to the exclusive trigo- noinetry class of two this year, and her favorite subject is chemistry in which she plans to do research work after she attends Sweet Briar Collegie.

Barbara Barrett, one of the three new additions to the senior class last fall, brought with her a wonderful sense of humor which is characteristic of people born under the sign of Libra. She came from Blaine, VVashington, not only the best town in the west, but the best in the world, to join eleven other seniors at Gracemont for the school year. Another Libra asset which she possesses is gray matter. Because of this she was one of the fortunate lone survivors of a Lister special, and was denied the questionable privilege of returning to school one Saturday for a morning of study. lt should be mentioned here that Barbara is not all brains. She is a first class jitterbugger too. As Mrs. llirks, the tough housekeeper, in the Senior Play, li tthat is her nicknamej proved her ability along dramatic lines. During the second semester, Barbara was a member of the Publications Committee. She was most welcome because a good typist was very much in demand. ln fact, if it had not been for her willing and well trained fingers. the second semester Ramblers might not have always appeared on schedule.

Hang o'er her courser's head with eager speed, And earth rolls back beneath the flying steed. lf there had been a sign of a horse in the horoscope, Dorothy Barrett would certainly have been born under it. As it was, though, the nearest she could come tv that particular animal was Leo, the lion, The stars do say, however, that Leo women make good nurses when they are in sympathy with their patients. This could be changed in lDorothy's case to say Leo ladies make excellent horse-women when great horse lovers. Besides winning numerous ribbons, a good many blue ones at that, she has the distinction of being one of the few women sulky drivers of the northwest. For the uninitiated this means that Barrett can drive a horse and two-wheeled cart like a jehu. lJorothy's talents are not all confined to horses and buugies. As Tony Trent, the young news reporter, in Sinister l-louse, she turned in an excellent per- formance. More than one envious person was heard to comment on her wonderful figure. lt should be mentioned now that the figure won her a part-time modeling job at Frederick and Nelson last summer. During the first semester Barrett was chairman of the Property Committee and did much to help improve the looks of the school, The Social Committee received her services the second semester. 10244-9311-v.044 I l 154.121 A QLLAJL K ri Md ' 0 hu 5 435.

Another Libra-ite is June Beck who is more commonly known as the Donut Debt Collector. As is always the case, annuals must be paid for, and to raise and keep track of funds is a nice, juicy job for anyone with energy and a small degree, at least, of calculating genius. Immediately June was elected to fill the post. Her first large-scale undertaking concerned the sale of donuts to both upper and lower schools each week. She did a magnificent job, and at the end of the year over one hundred dollars-more than any senior class had ever turned in before from this particular project-had been collected. Nearly all the credit for this stupendous achievement goes to June because the only help she really had was in the selling of the donuts, Another bit of claim to fame she has is her speaking voice. During her four years at Bush, june has pleased many audiences. When the class of '45 were juniors, she took the part of Narrator in the Christmas play and was a great success. Not known to too many people is Iune's accordion ability. Her daily dis- appearances during sixth period were for the purpose of practicing at Gracemont. She had to do it then because her roommates did not think they could stand such invigorating music at 6 a. m. every day.

Under the sign of Scorpio, Cynthia Bruce saw New York City for the first lime. By degrees she traveled westward and eventually arrived in Seattle, at the Helen Bush school. Up until this year, Cynthia was in the class of '46, bttt with a sudden burst of speed and energy combined with taking two courses in English at once, she became a member of the class of '45. At Gracetnent, where she boarded with the rest of the seniors, Cynthia was probably best known for her flawless excuses, or perhaps one should say her time spent in concocting perfect excuses. :Xt school she was easily identified by her red and white saddle shoes ttntil they turned light brown in March, lt is rumored that this change of color was brought about by the Court which thought brown was more becoming with the Hush uniform. According to Scorpio Cynthia should be especially fond of outdoor sports and travel. Her affections for the former, however, are not very great although she has been known to indulge in a game of tennis. As for the travel end, Cynthia herself says she loves it. ln fact it is her hobby and next to graduating is her favorite occupation.

According to her sign she has a choice of being one of the strongest or weakest people in the world. So far she is one of the strongest-both in brains and social life. Her favorite occupation is honeymoon bridge, and it takes more than an ordinary class to stop Gwenivere as she is sometimes called by Mrs Lister. It is not known whether this game revives past memories or conjures up future thoughts concerning her rather un-private social life. However, when the cards are dispensed witli, Gwen be- comes one of the fortunate souls gifted with that precious, all too scarce, gray matter. ln chemistry one day, though, it went on a vacation, for Gwen ceased to remember that liquids can boil over. The hydrochloric acid plus a few other ingredients made ll delightful pop, and splattcred all over on that fateful occasion.

Like George Washington, Joan Frayn was born on Feb, ZZ under l'isces ,the sign of the lfish. The horoscope cast fer those born under this sign says that they make good friends, and this quality is certainly true in joan's case. However, the part of the horoscope which states that she is essentially lazy certainly does not hold true, for besides being the hard-working editor of this year's TYKOF and having to chase after the printer, the engraver, and all the writers who did not get their material in by the deadline, she spent hours on the Rambler staff last semester, seived on the fourt for the third time this semester, and was the captain of the Senior Basketball team, playing both guard and forward, to the dismay of the opposing teams. Joan is amply blessed with brains, and she made up the other half of the exclusive trig class. Her dramatic talents were exereised as the corpse in the Senior play, and she helped handle the financial end of The Sinister House well. -Ioan is a wliizz at tennis and badminton as well as the other sports she takes part in Cbaseball, volley ball, et all, and true to the sign of the Fish, she likes to sail.

Court member and court head were two of the jobs held by Nancy Lee Hanson, who arrived on St. l'atrick's llay at Wallace, Idaho, under the sign of Pisces. According to her horoscope, she should defend her friends whether they are right or wrong. However, as vice-president of the school and head of the Court for the second semester, Nancy could hardly follow that prediction In order to acquaint everyone with her policy she promised in her campaign speech to use fiendish methods for extracting confessions only on special cases. Nancy also announced that she would decapitate those persons who were summoned before the Court more than three times! Needless to say, few people dared to appear before such a cruel and ruthless judge. Of course, outside of Court meetings, Nancy Lee was perfectly normal. She is quite interested in dramatics, and in the Senior Play was chosen for the part of Dr. Maude Garrett. She was a natural in this role. Most popular among the seniors was Hanson's wit. She continually kept them in stitches, and it was agreed unanimously that she was the class humorist. Nancy Lee was ont- of the seven fortunates to pass the Stanford test and at the latest report is planning: to live in Palo Alto next fall. ,ga l A ' ' C , .C , ,.,-as 'AA IXJAVIMLJ l f' ..,V ' D ' A fa X , Q44 ,1 I Lai iw , was xx fri, 5, 1 il JQVOAA l .N C .

Sana Harrah was born under the sign of Libra which means that she should be energetic, ambitious, inspired, and careless about pecuniary matters, However, this last statement does not fit Sana, for, as Chancellor of the War Chest Drive, she was responsible for the S725 that the school contributed. The most important, and most interesting, side of Libra and Sana, though, concerns energy, ambition, and inspiration. She evidently has an unlimited supply of energy-both physical and mental. For example, during the fall and spring she rides in the middle of the week and spends her week-ends mountain climbing. Wiiiter finds her perpetually on skis with her fellow mountaineers. She also turns out for basketball at school and has been a regular guard on all the teams of the class of 1945. Even with all her outside activities Sana con- tinues to be a brain Alex, as she is sometimes called, was elected president of the student body for the second semester. Having had eleven years of experience at Bush behind her, she fulfilled her job very well. ln the course of her high-school career she served on the Social, Sports, and Publications Committees. Next fall Sana plans to einer Stanford University and major in some branch of sociology.

Barbara Luclberg who maintains her winter residence at Gracemont was born under the sign of Taurus, the bull. lf the stars are correct, she will become a great leader and will be wry fearless. Taurus does not say fearless of what, so Barbara will have to wait and see. As for the leader qualities, some have already been demonstrated. The most prominent, of course, was her part in Sinister House. As the foreboding Hepzibah, Barbara succeeded in scaring more than one lower classman, Since she is interested in dramatics anyway, Ludberg portrayed the part very well. Besides her dramatic ability she is also gifted with some extra height which helped the senior basketball tt-am to win many of its games. Barbara was a good forward when she came to Bush in her sophomore year and has played on all the basketball teams of the class of Y-15. Last February tenth, along with seven other seniors, she took the Stanford Aptitude Test and won a place in the first group. lluring the first semester this year Barbara served on the Library kioininittm' and for the second she spent her time with the l'roperty Committee. 720+ fi .W I J V J J r X Q .

Betty Osborne, the school's star sailor, was born under the sign of Aquarius which is no great surprise because it means water bearer. For the first five years of her life at Bush she could be found either in her motor boat or flattie, Fleetwings Ill, after school. Then, at the end of her junior year she announced the addition of a star named Rowdy. lt is rumored that her best first-mate is Mrs. Livengood who, under Oz's able tutoring, is becoming a regular old salt. Naturally Betty is interested in other things too. She is quite an accom- plished violinist, although she has declined to exhibit her prowess ever since a particular assembly in the seventh grade. Something else along the musical line is Oz's voice, Although she rarely mentions it, she really can sing and very well at that. Betty proved herself to be a fine executive this year, for she filled the job of second semester councilor admirably. For the first six years Oz has been one of the contributing factors to the class of 19-15's success in the sports world. She was always a good forward on the basketball team, and could piteh a rather mean ball at llarkside baseball games. -27... G5 fi R 6- i ' GQ A -.

For Phyllis Rattray, who was born under this sign, that conjecture is quite true. She has won several tennis tournaments at school, and has been a forward on the basketball team ever since the seventh grade. She participated in other sports, but these two are her favorites. Phyl is also musically minded. She has a very nice voice and has sung solos several times both at school and at recitals. She says her favorite study is Glee Club, a testimony to her singing success. Phyl was snapshot editor of this Annual and to her goes the credit for ob- taining such good snaps. ln fact, in the end, there were more good pictures than could be used for the first time in several years, ln the Senior Play l'hyl did very well as Nliss Huey, the nurse. Those born under the sign of Scorpio should love travel according to the stars. Whether Phyl loves travel or not is unknown. :Xt any rate she had a very exciting trip East during Spring Vacation for her brother's wedding, On February 10 the Stanford Aptitude Tests were given. l'hyl was just sure she would fail, but a month later she got a very welcome postcard which told her she had earned a place in the second group.

Her horoscope says that she is naturally endowed with great possibilities which will take her to supreme heights of strength and usefulness. Her greatest possibility now is hgr art talent. Owing to this accomplishment, K. C. was elected art editor last fall. She is responsible for the cover design and the senior frames of this Almanac, Besides her Annual work, K. C. has drawn pictures that have been exhibited at all the Fine Arts Teas. Katie Clare has some other potentialities, too. She has a gift for learning languages easily and may even become chief interpreter for the White House. She is proficient in French, German, and Latin. - K. C. is also talented in the field of music. She is probably best known for her rousing duets in assembly. Few people know that she will have what is equal to a bachelor's degree in music when she takes exams at the Toronto Conserva- tory of music at Vancouver this summer. Last May she appeared in the Senior Play as Ruth Lacey. This was one of the leading and more difficult parts but K. C. carried it beautifully. Katie C'lare's ambition is to play the saxophone, and she may have an oppor- tunity to satisfy this desire next fall at Scripps in the music department. agp.. t' Q '!f,,.f-1,v'- - 1 X QW :U as 0 ' 'Q 533' ,fm - a'-' , ., X -JP 'V i : ig? gots 633 1 5 Qi' K 1 'N 'I A A . .

Mary Patricia Sawyer, more commonly known as Klidi, arrived under the sign of Aries, the ram. True to her horoscope she is executive, earnest, and determined. The stars also say that she can accomplish all that she resolves to do against any opposition. As chief of the Property Committee, Midi did a super- human job of keeping track of every stray article and was often seen trekking up the stairs to the lost and found hiding place in the costume closet. Also on the determining side of the Ram was Midi's desire to go to Stanford and take a pre-med course. She did not think she would pass the entrance exams, but when it was all over Midi discovered she had come out in the first group. This accomplishment proved she had the scholarly part of Aries too. Second to going to Stanford is Klidi's interest in dramatics. When the senior play came along she was chosen for the part of Edith. Needless to say, she did it beautifully. A third characteristic of Aries people is their natural Wit and geniality. To thrive at Graeemont one needs a large sprinkling of each of these traits, and Midi has both. 4'9 1 , 54 ' Y .8 Il - , ,..' f'i ..? -If uf!!!

The photography editor of this Annual was Stevie Scheiffler, Whose horoscope is cast by Aries, the ram, As the stars say, she is very executive minded, and owing to her hard work the pictures for this year were taken with less confusion than ever before. To do this, Stevie spent much time consulting the weather- man and the absentee list. Another post which demonstrated her Aries qualities was that of first semester councilor. Under Stevie's coaching the seniors won first prize in the Art Museum Membership drive, and received a special luncheon for their efforts. During the second semester she served on the Social Service Committee. Stevie's intellectual accomplishments were stupendous. She literally horrified her contemporaries by taking Latin l, ll, and Ill, all at once. This should really not be too surprising in her case, though, because Aries people usually are very good scholars. Stevie is one of the shorties of the class but this did not hamper her in basketball. As an alternate guard she kept her opposing forwards hopping all the time. She also played baseball and was a fine fielder. To be an architect is Slevie's big ambition, and at Wellesley she hopes to study for this goal. 'Z S 35- , 6 '. ' rA!'.

Her job included the sections of both upper and lower school and for this reason was more difficult. The question of deciding whose work should go in was a lofty one, but Cynthia managed it excellently. A Taurus characteristic which Cynthia definitely has is that of responsibility. Her biggest post along this line was that of stage manager for the senior play. Cynthia handled the many tasks under this heading efficiently and was part of the reason for the seniors' success. During the first semester Cynthia was news editor on the Rambler staff and wrote several stories about school affairs. She also did her stint at typing and counting Rambler articles. Cynthia had never played much basketball before she came to Bush, but by the time the senior team was chosen she had progressed enough to become an alternate forward. The most easily identifiable part of eynthia is her mixed lloston-Charlston drawl. This individuality will certainly keep her from becoming an old spinster school teacher, which is Cynthia's idea of her future. ln fact after attending' Smith College, she will no doubt become famous. -.BM f X Q X' 'N gtr, X Q X ii' if . .iff Q L S 1--I-'V Q 1 5351 A -J -. . yy .y - l ' X x 4 f ' ft A pleasing formg a firm, yet cautious mindg Sincere, though prudent: constant, yet resigned. According to Acloria Schultz's horoscope, which is cast by Virgo, she should be very orderly, methodical, and efficient in everything she undertakes. One of Adoria's bigger accomplishments along this line was her matter- of-fact way of collecting 100's on her history tests, She also did well in chemistry and only blew up test tubes the normal amount of times, As for efficiency, Adoria was chairman of the Social Committee the first semester and doled out lunch places to hungry Bush girls every three weeks as if it were the simplest job in the world. Being a boarder at Gracemont rather cramped Adoria's hobby, since it is going to movies. She did manage to see quite a few, though, as a member of Mrs. Williatits' weekly troupe. In the sports world Adoria was an all star senior team member. Her best performance was turned in for the basketball team on which she was a guard. As a fielder in baseball she helped the seniors considerably, and she also added some valuable points to the class average. According to Adoria her identifying characteristic is a history book, Beard and Beard's best on the United States. lf this be any indication .-Xdoria will probably become :1 history specialist after attending college. -34- 6644- .

Favours to none, to all she smiles extends Oft she rejects, but never once offends. Sagittarius determines the fate of Joan Southwick. People of this sign rarely ntake mistakes and are remarkable for their carefulness in detail. Joan demonstrates both these characteristics in the marvelous division pages she drew for this Almanac. Besides her contribution to the Annual, she has drawn several posters for school projects and events. For the first five months of the school year, Southwick presided over the student body as President. 'With poise and dignity she kept order at assemblies like a seasoned of icer. Regarding sports, Southwick says she likes best to sail in a certain star named Rowdy which belongs to a fellow classmate. The latest news is that she will be promoted to assistant Captain if she learns how not to jibe. Rather far removed from sailing is Southwick's drama bug. She had never acted before, but when the senior play was chosen she decided to try out. With her hair piled high upon her head, Southwick produced a genuine Southern accent and captured the part of Peasblossom, the colored maid. Last year slte was willed something by a member of the class of '44, and .Ioan says that living np to this something is her main accomplishment. As yet this is the only mystery about Southwick to go unsolved. e35a V v 'fl Y-, X u p . 'F as ..' it Ji gi. Q 1 ei' 5 551 R . A Nh i 'Mfrs ' i . I m , .

One of the outstanding traits of Gemini, or twins people is that they can Cul and plan work and, if not interfered with, can bring it to a beautiful completion though they are not able to tell heforelmncl how they are going to do it. Geneva Spalding was born under this sign, and true to her horoscope, became a fine vice-president and judge for the first semester. Geneva is another of the voice specialists at Bush. In her home town. Grants Pass, Oregon, she sang solos, so when she came to Seattle she kept up her music and entertained the school on several occasions. She is also one of three or four seniors who benefited by Mrs. l.ivengood's special harmony classes. During her stay at Gracemont Geneva became, like the rest of the boarders, :1 very efficient ladder climber, and she got the 111051 practice on Hallowt-'en night. Gemini people are supposed to have dual natures. That is, they like to travel and they like to, stay at home, or they are happy and unhappy at the same time. Geneva must have missed out on this particular peculiarity of the twins, for the nearest she comes to conflicting with herself is about her future. She says her favorite study is music, but she wants to be :L Spanish teacher after attending Stevens College in Xlissouri. awe ,4.

Another Aquarius or water bearer lady is ldalice Squire. She is probably best known for her excellent art work, some of which appears in this Annual. However, there are other interesting aspects of ldalice and Aquarius. First, according: to her horoscope, she has great possibilities that will carry her far in this world. ldalice hopes to become a commercial artist, and she will doubtless have little trouble attaining that end. The more hidden talent in her, though, comes out in her dramatic fling' in Sinister House. Since she speaks French beautifully and can imitate a French accent in English wonderfully well, she was elected to play Kline. Klaure. ln this part ldalice proved she could aet even though she had never had any previous experience. 'l'he third possibility for reaching fame that ldalice can draw on, is her music. She is a wonderful pianist, a fact not too well known because slit- usually confines herself to a marching duet at the encl of assemblies. ldalice spent ten years at Hush in all, but it was not till her senior year that she really tried to blow up the school. She was experimenting one day in chemistry with sodium and dropped a piece in some HgSO4 Csulphuric acid to the laymanl. A minor explosion was the result but no one was deeapitated and the school survived, much to the class's disappointment. ..37-. t 0 4,-'J cv, it 'fir' ip X 1 . S ' .

The third new addition to the senior class this year was Barbara Vannice, who hails from Grants Pass, Oregon. Sagittarius, the archer, casts her horoscope, and if his prophecies are correct, she will become an excellent housewife. Since there were already three Barbaras in the senior class when Vannice arrived, everyone was relieved to discover that her nickname was Babette. l3abette's favorite pastime at Gracemont, where she resided for nine months, was writing daily letters and baking cookies and cake for her one and only. And whenever she was particularly out of this world, her roommates knew she had received an extra special bit of praise on her latest culinary effort. The first semester found Babette serving on the Library Committee. She changed to the Property Committee the second semester. At school Yannice is easily identified by her long dark bangs which she cut in one of her weaker moments, On a cold day she can be discovered without much trouble because she is the only senior who does not wear a sweater or a jacket, and who does not freeze. Next fall Babette is planning to journey to the sunny south and take ll business course at the University of Arizona. . -.4 N. , 3, ' - iw r te. - , K 1 F I Y S qix'i'Y,' in K '1 v ' i rg :ggi-,,' :H fsgfil, 'i 121 ff- A ALEX' I t Q, M i f,s,,:l.

Her horoscope says that she should bc a great talker and con- versationalist. This prophecy fits .lackie perfectly, for if ever anyone knew what to say and when to say it, she does. Naturally enough, ,lack ther other nick-namei has other talents besides being a good gabber. During the first semester she served as editor of the Rambler and was responsible for the marvelous printed editon which came out the night of the Smorgasbord llinner. This accomplishment was hailed as one of the triumphs of the year. Another activity jackie enjoyed was dramatics, and in the senior play she took the part of a young married neighbor of the Laceys who was more interested in other people's affairs than her own. Akin to her natural ability to converse is jackie's flare for telling and reading stories to little children. She enjoys children and after graduation from college is planning to become a child-welfare worker. An asset common to all Aries people is their will to succeed in whatever they resolve to do. Jackie proved herself a worthy Aries-ite by spending: Monday and VVednesday nights at liroadvvay high school taking algebra ll. ,39- Horoscope for the Class of 1945 The solar horoscope for the year 1955 for the senior class of 1945 seems to be highly favorable. RULING PLANET: Bush star. PART OF THE BODY RULED: brain. BEST IJAY OF THE WEEK: Friday. BEST MONTH OF THE YEAR: june. COLOR: powder blue, fin the form of cap and gownl. FLOWER: salmon pink poppies, Like most people ruled by this star, the senior class is endowed with the quality of perservering through four years of high school, and the gift of graduating gracefully. For the compiling of the horoscopes of the individual members of this class, many years of research and astoral contemplation have been necessary. Since the planets will be in certain highly desirable conditions on January first, 1955, it seems likely that the members of the class will find the complete fulfillment of their most ardent desires. Sally Ayres, born under the sign of Virgo, will, during 1955, be well under way in a career of journalism. Miss Ayres as editor in chief of the Daily World will command the respect and admiration of all her staff. Her editorials will be among the most influential and widely discussed in the nation. Barbara Barrett is ruled by the sign of Libra, whose position implies that by 1955 Barbara will be highly incapacitated by a collection of dog-tags, navy and army insignia, service ribbons, insignia rings, and other military collectors' items. Libra suggests to Miss Barrett that she will be able to walk down thc aisle towards the altar more easily after she de-metallizes. Dorothy Barrett, being born under the sign of Leo, thus has a great attrac- tion toward animals. Dorothy will, in ten years, be head of the Barrett Riding Academy, and will have in her possession an enviable collection of trophies. June Beck, ruled by Libra, has long been weighing her decision between playing the accordion or piano. By 1955 june will have sol.ved the problem admir- ably by learning to play the piano with her toes, Ca patented processj, and the accordion with her fingers, This does not, however, mean that she will be un- balanced. ' Cynthia Bruce, although born under the somewhat vicious sign of Scorpio, has a very motherly disposition. The year 1955 will see her established in a steady family life. Gwen Cunningham, appropriately born under the sign of Aquarius, has a great affinity toward water and all things pertaining to it, Cincluding the Navyl. In 1955 Mr. and Mrs. Scott Jamison will be leading a blissful married life. .Ioan Frayn was born under the sign of Piseesg however, there is nothing fishy about her planetary forecast for 1955. In that year, she will revolu- tionize sports commentating history by reporting a football game in geometric and trigonometric equations, formulae, and terms. Nancy Lee Hanson, although also born under Pisces, has a very different future, for her path lies in the field of humorous fiction. Having long kept her classmates entertained by witty gems, Miss Hanson will be one of the leading authors of a new type of American humor. Sana Hari-ah is ruled by Libra. It is perhaps this precise and mathematical background that will lead her, in 1955, to become Einstein's first woman assistant, and later, his successor. Barbara Ludberg, ruled by the sign of Taurus, began her career in her senior year. Miss Ludberg, by January first, 1955, will begin on the second year of a four-year engagement on Broadway as the leading actress in Sinister House. Betty Osborne, born under aquarius, also has a future springing from the love of water. In 1955 Admiral Osborne will head the first woman's fleet of the Navy. Barbara Peyser, born under the sign of Leo, has a brilliant future ahead. In 1955, art galleries all over the country will exhibit portraits of her done by some of the most famous American artists of the day. Phyllis Rattray is ruled by Scorpio, whose position indicates that in 1955 she will be one of the most famous American singers of Schubert's songs. Katie Clare Roys, born under the sign of Aquarius, will be making her debut at Carnegie Hall in 1955, and will become one of the leading concert pianists of the nation. This performance is slated by the stars to be long remembered in the minds of concert-goers. -.lU.. Midi Sawyer, ruled by Aries, will be known the world over in ten years as the Florence Nightingale of 1955, and head of the Sawyer Children's Orthopedic Hospital. Stevie Scheiffler was also born under Aries, the sign of many famous people. ln 1955, movie-goers all over will thrill to the low, pulse-raising voice of one of the year's greatest discoveries. Cynthia Schoen, born under the sign of Taurus, will follow in her Father's footsteps, as a commander in Admiral Osborne's-fleet. Adoria Schultz, whose life is ruled by Virgo, will have developed an un- precedented reputation on the screen, Miss Schultz will be known as the first movie star with naturally long and curly eyelashes. Joan Southwick was born under the sign that will make her famous. ln 1955 her comic-strip character Saggitty, the Great, will be known the world over, and Joan will enter into a partnership with Walt Disney. Geneva Spalding, whose destiny is ruled by Gemini, will be one of the most famous Manons ever to sing the part from the stage of the New York Metropolitan Opera House. Her success will bring forth world-wide acclaim, and her career will be studded with many great performances. Idalice Squire, born under the sign of Aquarius, will be revolutionizing the world of art with her abstract paintings. Heralded as greater than Dali she will be Woman of the Year for 1955. Barbara Vannice, dominated by Sagittarius, will have her heart pierced by many of Cupid's arrows by the time 1955 rolls around. In fact, her home will become famous as containing the only library in the world in which each book has written on it the names of different admirers. Jackie Wanamaker, born under the sign of Aries, will continue, until the time of her marriage in 1955, to be known as the blond bombshellf' and the center of attraction at all dances.

The party was held in Gracemont's ballroom and everyone enjoyed themselves immensely. For the benefit of the Annual, the Juniors put on something entirely different, They presented three comic movies in the gym with refreshments served at intermission. Both Parkside and the upper school attended. At Christmas time the class was filled with budding Bernhardts all attempting to memorize their lines for the play, And There Were Shepherds. During the mid-term elections the juniors again had a chance to display their dramatic prowess in a more humorous vein as managers of the campaign skits. The Junior Mothers' Luncheon and Assembly was a great success and a tribute to the French and English students. The Seniors who were glumly anticipating college boards were somewhat cheered by the pro- cession of juniors through the lunch room in their honor. lt was culminated hy a feast in the junior room in which all the Seniors participated. A class associated especially with Juniors was Algebra II where all college hopefuls, under the able direction of Mrs. Bush, tried to learn about radicals, polynomials and negative exponents. This class was also known for its substantial bank account, and the Juniors remained in their happy financial state with the help of movie and Showboat proceeds. To raise funds for their Prom a raffle was held and the winner's reward was a beautiful black and gold program, The Prom, the juniors' most important project, was Chinese in theme, truly an Oriental Fantasy. For days the diligent salesmen were seen rushing around distributing programs and collecting decorations. On the great day the gym was beautifully decorated with blossoms, lanterns, pagodas and numerous Chinese effects. Many of the leading voices in the Glee Club belong to Juniors, while others are members of the orchestra. lu the sports department this class boasted many athletes, who excelled in tennis, basketball and badminton. One of them was a member of the team which won the badminton doubles tournament last fall. The Juniors played a large part in student assemblies. While many of them were on court or the heads of committees, also from their ranks were chosen next year's student body President and Vice-president. Following in the footsteps of last year's class, a great many Juniors registered to take college aptitudes, and came through with flying colors. Last but certainly not least, it was the stalwart junior shoulders that supported the syringa chain at Graduation, and it was they who felt the most unhappy at the departure of the Senior class. 7 79-ins-1,04 K O 14447 169-Q-1 'ff 419, 'T ' 'f al-0 . 0-43 A xx X.

January 25, 1942, or Was It? 011 January 25, 1942, many people were startled to read that Thailand's minister had declared war on the United States and Great Britian-not as of 1942 as our calendar had it-but as of B, E. 2485 as his calendar had it. Further, in the State llepartment Bulletin of February 7, 1942, this peculiar date was confirmed as official. The abbreviation B, E. it seems, stands for Buddhist Era and the manner in which 2485 was arrived at is to be found on page 197 of the 1940-41 Directory for Bangkok and Thailand. ln the fifth reign there were three Calendars in use-the religious calendar, the old civil calendar, and the official civil calendar. The first was the calendar for the Buddhist Era, dating from the death of the Buddha, and ante-dating the Christian era by 543 years. The year began with the full moon of the sixth Siamese lunar month. The second is still the country people's calendar, a11d defines dates according to the Chulasakaraht era, introduced, according to tradition, by a distinguished Siamese King named Phra Ruang, The com- mencement of this era is 639 years subsequent to the commencement of the Christian era. It is a lunar calendar subject to much adjustment by intercalary methods. The year begins with the first of the waxing moon of the fifth month. The official civil calendar was adopted in 1889 and was simply the Gregorian Calendar, with the year commencing on the lst of April, and the year of the establishment of Bangkok as the capital was taken as the date to be reckoned from. ln 1912 the Gregorian Calendar was adopted for the Buddhist Era, and in 1913 this new Buddhist Era was adopted for official records, in place of the Bangkok Era CRatanakosidr Sokb. The change was made because it was felt that, for historical purposes, an era which went no further back than a little over a century and a quarter, was an inconvenient one to employ. The year 2483, B. E., began on the lst of April, 1940. In 1917 a decree was issued making the reckoning of the day and night the same as in Europe-the day commencing twelve hours Cnalikaj before mid-day, and ending twelve hourse after. Officially the hours are now counted from 1 to 24. In 1920 the Standard Time of seven hours east of Greenwich was adopted for the whole country. From 1941, Thailand's New Year begins on the lst of January. This information is by courtesy of E. Wilder Spaulding, Department of State, Washington. The Department assumes, however, no responsibility for the accuracy of statements contained in publications which are not official. Chinese Proverbs Taken from Bo-he and Sue-chong Never do anything hastily: remember it is the last cup of tea which is the strongest. Be not too prodigal: the kettle when too full puts out the fire. Delays are dangerous: remember the hottest toast will get cold by standing. lt is a wise washerwoman who knows her own twankay. Happy is he who can take the rough with the smooth-the strong hyson with the fine pearl gunpowder. Butter not your bread on both sides, lest in your old age you be left without bread to butter. A little scandal is to tea what an olive is to wine. Measure your green according to your black. fu, ffw WW f X .JL K' X-' 1 ' X ,f, L f.A,c 'S . f, V, 1,11 , .

Poetry, Anecdotes and Pleasantries THE SAGE SAYS: He knows a man who wouldn't tell a lie for nine pence, but he might tell eight lies for a dollar. A gentleman farmer is the fellow who makes one blade of grass grow where two grew before. A pessimist is a man who, when he has a choice of two evils, takes them both. The only difference between firmness and obstinacy is a matter of sex. The easiest man ,in the world to bunco is the man who has had just enough success to give him confidence in his own judgment. NEWS? Tour wife, said the reporter, and the man with whom she eloped have been found in New York. They were on their way to California, but they lost their money and were stranded there. Well? said the man, quite unmoved. Why er, stammered the reporter, we thought you might want the news, and-- That is not the news. The news is that I have just sent them enough money to see them through. STRAIGHT LACED An old Yankee was smoking in the waiting room of a railroad station when a porter said to him, Don't you see that notice on the wall- No smoking al' lowed?

Such a question as this will probably never be answered satisfactorily. The accepted opinion is that man is as old as he feels-and, to all intents and purposes, as God's child, ageless. With this premise in mind, you may be interested in examining the following table iderived from The Scientific Monthly? giving the average ages at which leaders have succeeded to their positions, U. S. Successful Presidential Candidates, 55-59 U. S. Unsuccessful Presidential Candidates. 55-59. Members of English Cabinet, 55-59 Pxggsgcgents of Republic other than U.S.A.

Ambassadors, 55-59 Military Commanders Knot American? Naval Commanders tnot Americanj, 55-59 Appointed Justices Supreme Court, 55-59 Justices serving in Supreme Court, 65-69 U. S.

Legislative Report This year the Council or legislative division of the student body was headed by joan Southwick the first semester. Representing the classes were Stevie Scheiffler, senior, Virginia King, junior, Joan Hopper, sophomore, Eleanor Grimm, freshman, Marion Pelly, eighth gradeg and Diana Yates, Seventh grade. This Council spent most of its time discussing ways in which to improve the school and then carrying them out, while the second council brought up amend- ments to the constitution, the most noteworthy of which is mentioned in the Court report. Sana Harrah was president of the second Council with the following girls as members-Betty Osborne, senior, Elizabeth Haynes, junior, Mae-Jeanne Peterson, sophomoreg june Shefelman and jan Royce, freshmen, Anne Rolfe, eighth gradeg and Halcyon Bassett, seventh grade. A duty of the Council not previously mentioned, is that of appointing niembers for the eight committees by which the students participate in school a fairs. The Library Committee, one of the most popular, is to create an interest in the library and acquaint the students and teachers with the new books and the material found therein. lt also keeps track of library debts and shows the girls how to check books in and out. The Social Service Committee plans and directs the welfare activities of the school, such as parties for the Children's Home. All school wartime activities are discussed and organized in this committee, too. The Property Committee serves as a place to establish standards of good taste, appearance, and neatness, These standards are formulated and enforced by the members of this committee. The lost and found was under their juris- diction also. This latter occupation netted quite a sizable fund for the Annual! The Publication Committee, chiefly interested in publishing The Rambler, records the pulse of school life, and this year has met with great success under Editors jackie Wanamaker and Sally Ayres. A more detailed description of this committee will be found under the Department of Publications. Interest in the fields of dance, drama, art, and music is handled by the Fine Arts Committee, which also strives to keep the work of a well-known regional artist on exhibit for all to enjoy. This year the committee members can claim additional fame, for they induced the classes to become members of the Seattle Art Museum. The Social Committee sponsors all the social activities of the school and sets an example of friendship and hospitality. This committee also has charge of the seating in the dining room. The Sports Committee is in charge of all sports offered in the intramural program and all athletic equipment. During the past year, under the chairman- ship of Susie Black, it became one of the most popular committees. The last of the committees, the Assembly, is responsible for bringing inter- esting and outstanding visitors to address the student body, They also try to arrange assemblies which display achievements of the students in the class rooms as well as in extra-curricular activities. Through these committees students take on responsibilities that contribute toward making student government run smoothly at all times. ll' o.

Mme. Chessex was again the Court faculty adviser. During the first semester Geneva Spalding was judge. The power to decide the fate of their classmates was held by Nancy Lee Hanson, Jean Watson, Marjorie Newell, Pat Scherrer, Susan Curtis and Lowell Vye. just after the second semester Council went into session, a new method for dealing with offenders was brought up by the council. A list of major of- fenses such as cheating, lying, or skipping school, and minor offenses such as library disturbances, uniform infractions, or tardiness, were compiled. The Court and Council then decided that three minor offenses would equal one major offense which would automatically carry the following penalty: the student would be deprived of her right to hold or run for office and to attend or vote at student assemblies. The Court was also authorized to inflict additional sentences if they saw fit. These by-laws were passed by the student body and went into effect after spring vacation. - The second Court of the year was headed by Nancy Lee Hanson, and the other members were Joan Frayn, Kathleen Billings, Martha Broughton, Ruth Helsell, Janet Lister, and Barbara Farnsworth. A slight change was made, however, when Sally Schroeder was appointed to take the place of a court member that took an unscheduled vacation along with nine other cohorts. For the benefit of those fortunate persons who never had the privilege of appearing before the court, an illustration of what goes on in those meetings is herewith given. Susy Q, it seems, has been apprehended for chewing gumg at least that is what the court slip says. She insists that it was a rubber band and decides to appear before the court to prove it. Her story is very good, all except for one little item--she just could not explain how she was able to blow bubbles with a rubber band. After dismissing her, the court takes a vote and the general concensus of opinion is that Susy Q is guilty! She receives a very unwanted piece of paper that informs her she must wrap silverware for one hour after school. Thus a member of the student body learns the cold and cruel workings of the court. Of course, it must be noted that not all students summoned before the court are guilty. Often times they are dismissed with a solemn warning or are completely acquitted. fl :gl t FIRST SEMESTER CGURT l Lefl lo righi, Back row: Mariorie Newell, Nancy Hanson, Geneva Spalding.

Under the able guidance of Leo, the Lion, Mrs. Marquam, we have spent a very happy year. Gracemont is the newest addition to the schoolg surrounded by beautiful gardens and paths, it adds much to the school campus. In the lovely ballroom we have given many dances and parties. The sleeping quarters are on the top floors where the girls spend most of their time. On the third floor are some of the juniors, including Christine, who has the reputation of never getting up earlier than seven-thirty in the morning. On the second floor in the northwest room are the rest of the juniors, and on the east and south wings the seniors. Anyone trying to reach Gracemont on the telephone in the evening may experience a little difficulty since most likely Marty Broughton or Barbara Barrett will be talking or Josie sending a telegram. At about this time Dorothy Wall strolls in asking her usual question, Any calls for me today P or down the hall Gwen may be swooning on her bed after a long-distance call from Scotty. Downstairs at the piano are the jive enthusiasts, Frana, Debbie, and Babs, who are taking in johnny Mercer's latest. Wandering into one of the rooms, you next see Barbara Ludberg in front of a mirror feverishly cutting her bangs, when suddenly from Adoria's room there is a bang bang and a voilce asking Will Dick Tracy escape from Shakyf' but it is merely the fa IO. just then the doorbell rings and there is a package and a dozen roses for Stevie. Probably another pin from Dig. A pleasant aroma coming from the kitchen pervades the air, and there you find Midi baking a cake for a certain sailor, with Babette and Geneva eagerly waiting to pounce on it. As soon as the evening paper comes, Kay and Cynthia are ohing and ahing over the movie section. From the master bedroom are issuing loud exclamations from Nancy Lee, who has just broken another of June's vases of flowers. At approximately ten o'clock a semi-calm descends over the house, and Leo, the Lion, rings the chimes for lights out. ,lust what the girls with the balcony off their room do after dark is unknown, but theiwind couldn't be responsible for all those whispering sounds. Leo, the Lion. now retires to her room to try to recuperate from the day's excitement, guarded by her faithful hound, Lassie. -:L:I..I.l -I .. .. T.

No man must dare to notice the varieties of temperature before his superiors. The governor of a province lets its inhabitants know when it is cold enough for a change of costume, and when the signal is given by these functionaries, all China puts on its winter dress. WEATHER WISDOM The following are a few of the old saws relating to the weather which abounds in Great Britain, namely: A rainbow in the morning When you see a gossamer flying, Gives the shepherd warriirtgn Be sure the air is drying, HA rainbow at 'flight U When black snails cross your path, I5 the Shepllefdys dellght- Black clouds much moisture hath. If the moon shows like a silver shield, Be not afraid to reap your field. Ulf the cock goes crowing to bed, llwhfn fl'-'3 Pfflfofli loudly b!1Wl5, He'll certainly rise with a watery head. Soon we'll have both rain and squallsf' SIGNS OF RAIN The air, when dry, I believe, refracts more red or heatfmaking rays, and as dry air is not perfectly transparent, they are again reflected in the horizon. I have generally observed a coppery or yellow sunset to foretell rain, but as an indication of wet weather approaching, nothing is more certain than a halo around the moon, which is produced by the precipitated water, and the larger the circle, the nearer the clouds, and consequently the more ready to fall. 'Evening red, next morning gray, Are certain signs of a beautiful day. WINDS Wind from the east-bad for man and for beast, Wind from the south is too hor for them bothg Wind from the north is of very little worth, Wind from the west is the softest and best. CLOUDS When you wish to know what the weather is to be, go out and select the smallest cloud you can see, keep your eye upon it, and if it decreases and disappears, it shows a state of the air which will be sure to be followed by fair weather, but if it increases, you may as well take your great coat with you, if you are going from home, for falling weather will not be far off. The reason is this: when the air is becoming charged with electricity, youimill see every cloud attracting all less ones towards it, till it gathers into a shower. And, on the contrary, when this fluid is passing off, or diff fusing itself, even a large cloud will be seen breaking to pieces and dissolving. -Locke Amsdcn 4. SKY COLORS Red evening portends fair weather-unless spread too far upward from the horizon in which case expect wind or rain or both. Sea green tinge in rainy weather means more rain-deep blue calls for showers. Haziness over the sun or moon-a sun white at setting or going into a bank of clouds-foretells bad weather. A pale dim moon means rain. A red moon means wind. Yellow or gold sun-with purple streaks at sunset-all will be fine. A red predominant in the rainbow means rain or wind, orange for raing yellow for dry weatherg green for raing blue for fine weatherg purple for wind and raing and violet for fine weather. 0 O C: O wi ,.....,-...,,..,...., V..-l The Visitors in Action Sporting Events of 1945 Athletics at Bush during 1944 and '45 were hailed with great enthusiasm by all the classes. lluring the first semester gym classes and after school sports flourished under Mrs. Newport. Then Mrs. VVestlund took over for the latter half of the year in the same spirit. To start the year off was a ping-pong tournament. The victor was Mae- Jeanne Peterson who vanquished Joan Frayn with little trouble. Following on the heels of this was a badminton doubles tournament. After a tough scrap Anne Johnston and joan Frayn finally conquered Midi Sawyer and llebbie Allen. The most anticipated sport at Bush is basketball. Practice games were begun shortly after Thanksgiving and lasted until Christmas vacation. Starting in january, inter-class games were played. There were several close battles that were extremely interesting to watch. For the most part the higher grades beat the lower. However, the sophomores upset the apple cart by beating the juniors, and almost defeating the seniors. The biggest event for the year was the l7acl's Dinner April 3 at which the seniors fought the sophomores for the championship. The seniors, who had tucked away two basketball victories, were out for a third, and although the sophomores did their best to prevent it, achieved this goal, The most fun, however, came at the half. lloffing their coats and donning their tennis shoes, the llads took the floor to give battle to the seniors, The Dads, of course, had to play girls' rules which was slightly confusing. Several of the men insisted on dribbling the length of the gym and then shooting. NVhen they could get their hands on the ball fit was not too oftenl the seniors tried to make baskets, but sad to say, they were not very successful. After a wild but thrilling game, the llads came out on top with a score of 24 to 14. Following the basketball tournament was supposed to have been a baseball tournament. However, the problem of scraping ten girls per class together for a team was very difficult, and besides the general concensus of opinion was that the weather was too warm for good games anyway. lnstead everyone wishing to play baseball Cand get a tan in the proccssl played scrub. The last tournaments of the year were in badminton and tennis. The winners of these clashes were announced Class Day. Class llay the silver sports' plaque was awarded to the sophomores, who had won the most tournaments and had the best representation at after-school sports. Also awarded at this time were the Bush letters and chevrons. These are given to the girls who have participated in the required number of sports besides showing good sportsmanship at all times. As we go to press the follow- ing people are slated to receive letters or chevrons. Letter Awards: Marjorie ltlatthews, Diana Yates, -lill Chism, Patricia Frink, farol MacKenzie, Anne Rolfe, Marion Pelly, Marjorie Cronkhite, Mary Jane Headley, Joan Flohr, Evelyn Locke, Cynthia Schoen, Shirley Eckas, Georgia Callison, jill Philips, Pat Parrott, Barbara Ciharles, and Gavnell Petrick.

Music The force behind the music department at Bush is Mrs. Livengood, who somehow finds time to direct upper and lower school orchestras and glee clubs. conduct speech and liarmony classes, and give violin lessons in between. Under her tutoring the Glee Club has become the largest ever-over 40 mem- bers. lt has sung on many occasions both in school and out. At all the Mothers' Luncheons the chorus has performed and also at the Christmas Program. Out- side of school the Glee Club had engagements at both the lJ.A.R, House and the Rotary Club. Early in the spring, practice was begun for the Fine Arts Tea Program, One of the last events at which the whole chorus participated was the baccalaureate Service. Betty Osborne, Phyllis Rattray, and Geneva Spalding sang a trio also. For the traditional singing of Panis Angelicus' at graduation, they were again accompanied by Phyllis and Geneva who sang the solo parts, :ind Betty who played the violin. Another division of the graduation program under the direction of Mrs. Livengood was the part taken by nine seniors who sang one selection. The orchestra, as well as the Glee Club, has expanded. It now consists en- tirely of first and second violins, violas, and cellos, Playing with the lower school orchestra, it took part in the Christmas Program. There were several girls taking singing lessons this year who have appeared on various occasions. Among them were Dorothy Wall, Pat Bowen, Betty Osborne, Geneva Spalding, and Phyllis Rattray. These girls got very good practice out of school, for Mrs. Livengood often arranged to have them sing at luncheons or musical gatherings. Although not exactly a part of the music department as far as singing goes, the harmony classes are put under this category. These classes, held mainly for those girls who are very interested in music and plan to carry on with -76- their studies in college, include learning the many techniques in the structure and science on which music is based and formed. The girls in Harmony II have reached a point where they are now composing such complicated pieces as sonatas, arias, and preludes for violin, voice, and piano. What's more, they could execute their own masterpieces! A class which is open to juniors and seniors only is Music and Art Appre- ciation. Each Monday students troop over to the livingroom and learn the finer points of musicology. Besides hearing the music of the great composers, they also learn about the great artists by seeing copies of pictures drawn by them and by listening to interesting talks. Keeping track of the future Paderewskies and helping them overcome the difficulties of a pianist, were Mrs. Turner and Mrs. jackson. Bush can claim many fine pianists from the seventh grade through the senior class. As was said before, Mrs. Livengood is chief mentor of the speech classes. No one escaped her wary eye and before the year was out everyone had performed in assembly in one way or another. Although appearing in public was quite a terrifying experience for some, it was generally agreed that the course was very helpful. These speech programs were, for the most part, exceedingly interesting. Reports were given on everything from the Negro situation to the effects of College Boards on unsuspecting victims and how to avoid the former. Mrs. Livengood also tossed into these classes a good sprinkling of spelling and diacritics. Everyone can now spell sacri1egious or elucidate on the difference between an ua with one dot over it and an a with two dots! 0 O stef D x 'v Drama Under the direction of Mrs. Margretta Ramsey, the Drama classes began the year with the mechanics necessary to good acting. They learned how to walk, sit down, and otherwise manipulate themselves on the stage gracefully. These exercises were followed by improvisations in which several students carried on an extemporaneous conversation on stage, and justified every action they made by their conversation. Two girls would begin a conversation on the stage. Neither ever knew what she was going to say next, but they carried on, each thinking up spur of the moment responses to her partner's last state- ment. All the while, however, they had a certain pattern of actions that they had to go through, such as walking across the stage and around a table, or sitting down in a chair. Each action had to be justified in the conversation, so thisi combination of many exercises became very valuable training for the drama stu ent. After Mrs. Ramsey felt that the students were sufficiently prepared, they teamed up in twos or threes and each group began working on a scene. In this way, each girl could have a leading part and would thus benefit by her work on it. Mrs. Ramsey left before Christmas vacation, and Mrs. Dickie took,over the classes for the rest of the year. Several of the scenes started under Mrs. Ramsey were completed under Mrs. Dickie and given in assembly. On March 15 Barbara Ludberg and Barbara Barrett gave a scene from Hedda Gabbler for the student body. Then Beany Black and Sally Ayres presented a scene from Maxwell Anderson's Mary of Scotland, on April 3 for Dad's Night, in which Beany was Queen Elizabeth and Sally was Mary.

S Art The Art Department this year is very proud of its new quarters-the garage up at Gracemont, made over. It has separate lockers for each student with side doors which not only keep the dust off their Work, but also fold back into large drawing boards. There is plenty of space for paint, brushes, tools, and a special dark room to keep clay moist. Black shades can be pulled down and slides and movies shown. Plenty of sunlight-when there is any-comes through the windows to make the room light and cheerful. A new gas heater, Mr. La Grille's pride and joy, has been installed for cold days. Mr. La Grille, differing from many art teachers, encourages self-expression. He believes the student should put a bit of herself into the work and not create a work simply for the technique's sake. The students, in expressing themselves, Went so far as to paint his :hair with pictures and wise-cracks, while everyone is familiar with the wav the girls decorated the upstairs bathroom with mermaids, a creation that netted profits in the form of a box of candy from Mr. Young. Almost every art student has heard Mr. La Grille state that a bolt is positive and a nut negative. Students, he says, should try to do away with the latter and stress the former. Thus, as any art student will tell you, his theme song has now become Accentuate the positive-eliminate the negative. Some art students have taken on outside projects also. joan Southwick has made several dance posters for Miss King, and one woman brought a tray to be retouched. Occasionally students have entered work in outside art exhibits. At least once a year, the students are taken to the Seattle Art Museum to enjoy some special exhibition. The art shop takes several art publications and for a wider range even fashion magazines such as Vogue. Art work takes its place of honor in all the dances, especially the Junior Prom. There would be no Christmas program without dozens of hand-made celophane stained-glass windows, tapestries, and costumes. Sets, too, are made by the students for the Senior Play. Of course the Annual is made up of art Work as well as journalism. A lot of hard work went into making the sketches, setting up the pages, and planning the cover and theme. In the spring, the students go outdoors to paint or draw directly from nature. This practice tends at times to start severe cases of spring fever, but is very enjoyable. The school year is terminated with the Fine Arts Tea in which all work done throughout the year is shown to the school and parents. We are very proud of our art shop. Many girls continue their art studies in college and make fine records for themselves. Of course we expect several famous artists to be discovered among us.

Martha Broughton Literary Accomplishments THE END IS THE BEGINNING, When the blue-gowned class of '45 passes down between the chains of sweet syringa with a sheaf of poppies in their arms to the long-sought-after diploma, they will sigh a breath of re- lief. Now we are educated, they will think. The four years of hard grind, of anxious exams and gruelling nightly assignments are over. Much fun and comradeship are finished also. This is the end of an epoch in their lives. A few years hence they will find themselves in many and varied occupa- tions, in different parts of the world under changed conditions, yet each will have brought with her the basic train- ing which harks back to this period which is just ending. There are certain abiding truths that will remain with them throughout life. These truths may be compared with the invariant which stays unchanged in mathematics: a constant such as pi. In poetry and religion, the form of presentation and the words may change, however the underlying theories will remain un- touched by time. In religion there will always be the invariants of God and the human soul, in poetry there will always be the relationship and har- mony between the individual and na- ture. If we can meet the challenge of this changing world successfully it will be due to the invariant which we have gained in this school. So let us think of graduation as being the opening of a door, not as the closing of a door in the course of our development, I would like to quote a verse from one of E. T. Eliot's poems: What we call the beginning is often the end, And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from. Katie Clare Roys, Senior THE DESERT Pools of liquid moonlight, Sifting silver sands, Velvet palm trees swaying, Making soft salaams, Thus transformed, Sahara, In seething heat at noon, Lies in cooling stillness 'Neath the velvet moon. Barbara Peyser, Senior -82 CASE 104779 Steel gray eyes with a pained stare that penetrated far beyond the look of the other boys, Perhaps it was the expression that made me think he looked so like Carl. He was just another case on a crowded hospital ship when he came. Howard Vance, 104779. And there were so signs of emotion save pain and fear. He had nobody, maybe an uncle in Buffalo, or a grand- mother in Kansas, at any rate, they never wrote. I didn't get to know him as I did the other boys. It was never, Hil Janie! or Any cigarettes today, Janie ? just that icy stare and occasionally a gasp, Water . . . water. Dr. Waite said two weeks, no more. Though they tried to save him, we all knew that he didn't have a China- man's chance to pull through if he didfn't have some sort of faith in him- sel . It must have been the gray eyes, like those of my brother Carl, that prompt- ed me to take an interest in Howard Vance. But it was disheartening to receive no response. Every day I talked to him, and tried to draw him out. He replied yes, no, thanks Daily his chart showed decline in con- dition. Dr, Waite was grim. I've done all in my powerg only God can save him now. I thought a lot about him after that. Maybe it had been like this when Carl had died outside St. Lo in France. That night I prayed hard and long. But it dawned on me that if only he prayed too, it might be different. I found out that Howard Vance had no religion. Day after day, I talked to him, told him that I didn't believe he had to adopt a religion, just believe in some sort of eternity, some Greater Power. Gradually he began to believe and pray to God, somewhere, some- how. As he gained this hope, the line on his chart began to rise, each day a fraction of an inch. Don't ask me how, or tell me it is preposterous because I don't know why. But I do know that two people, one who as dying and one who was mourning the loss of a brother, reaped the benefits of prayer. Today I received a letter from somewhere in the Pacific and on the top of the manilla paper in heavy black script, it said, From Cpl. Howard L. Vance, and it began, Hi, Janie. Mary Ellen Greenfield, Freshman TRAGEDY OF WAR Years of war which slowly passed Years of fighting which could not last, But peace then came, to France I re- turnedg The war was over, and happiness earned. But I saw only ruinsg my home waS not there, U I I stood a long time ln utter despair. I walked to the town which greatly had ehangedg I talked to some men who sad glances exchanged. It was hard to tell me, but I knew what they said. My family was murdered while others fled. Yes, the war was over, and peace was won, But my happiness died as my people had done. Susie Black, Sophomore DILEMMA Why didn't someone tell 1ne Three short years ago, To make a big eight college The things I'd have to know? Be warned, my younger schoolmates, Get ready for the worst, A senior's choice of college May not have been her first. Five years of foreign language, Two years of which must be Positively, Latin or German, Leaves me up a tree. It would have been so easy To have put myself to do Better work along the wayg This could have helped me through. The College Boards that plague me now, The grades I'd like to show Would look a whole lot better, Those registrars must know. They tell me they like western girls In those eastern schools, But why if they want us there Must they have those rules? Alas, I'm somewhat limited To a very few. It's lots of fun to wish and dream, Be seeing you at the UU. Jackie Wanamaker, Senior CEMETERY SCENE It was deathly still and the pale, white light of the moon was just enough to make shadows with the gray, cold tombstones. Trees and shrubs were silhouetted like dark figures point- ing toward the partly-clouded sky, and here and there one could catch a glimpse of the moon, peeping through with its wan rays picking out objects, and giving them weird and grotesque forms. Now and then a star made its cosmic appearance from behind a misty cloud and added its cold light to the ghostly scene. The silence was heavy. like a definite object which could actually be felt, and so quiet that it reminded one of an unreal visit to the land of the dead. Yes, it was like a dream, this gray scene, a dream of eternity and unknown things to come. Joey Kleinberg, Sophomore CHARACTER SKETCH OF ROBERT, MY LITTLE BROTHER Robert's behavior seems to be en- tirely governed by the particular mood he is in, and he has quite a repertoire to choose from. In the morning we have learned to depend on a rather stormy mood, and everyone is quite relieved to see him leave for school. We do not see him again until about 3:30 in the afternoon. This picture is quite different from the morning one. In fact, now, with three little pals behind, he is noisily searching the house for his guns, packs, and other equipment with which to carry on the backyard war which was so rudely in- terrupted by dinner the night before. With shining eyes and blood-curdling whoops, they pile into their foxholes for another afternoon of adventure under fire. If Mother was to suggest anything that resembled work in any form, there would be either loud pro- tests or he would be nowhere to be found. Because of aversion to work he never has any pocket money and con- sequently has a very rough idea of the value of money. Not until he has un- willingly washed for dinner and read the funnies does he seem to calm down to that sweet little mama's boy. The dinner conversation is spiced bv his vivid tales of what the teacher did to that bully, Johnny Wright, or how many children got A's in reading, all of which are so important to his exciting world. If we should happen to have company, woe is us! For his specialty is to show off. His ways of showing off vary between fantastic faces, bright remarks, and spasms of giggling which -33- keep Mother in anxious misery. His time from dinner to bedtime is spent in the kitchen where he carries on lengthy conversations with our maid. He and she are very attached. In fact, he has attached himself to every maid we ever had, and they too have always fallen for him.

Ruth Helsell, Sophomore THE NIGHT The night is a velvet cloak Spread o'er the sunny sky And held in place with pins of stars Until the dawn is nigh. When finally dawn begins to rise The cloak is swept away And then before our very eyes Is born a brand-new day. Jean Watson, Junior ON BIOLOGY Will the girls in back please be quiet, Screams Mrs. Gall, at the major riot. Today, I'll explain, while you fight and squirm The digestive tract of one angleworm. You've already seen, tho' it seems quite crude, That an amoeba merely flows into its food. Each day we trudge in with books on ' our arm. We look at our victimsg on our faces alarm. There are beetles and bugs and a little pig's heart, With our two little hands we pull them apart. We struggle and ponder over the bee and the bird, What good is all this? I think it's absurd! Josie Kubley, Junior SOPHOMORE Goodbye, goodbye, my sophomore year, Full to the brim with memories dear. Farewell, instructors, tried and true, Sincerest thanks I give to you. Did I annoy you in the past? Please don't let that memory last. Dignified, courteous, charming and sweet, A junior I'll be when next we meet. I hope as a sophomore I wasn't too bad, For a million couldn't buy all the fun I've had. Marjorie Cronkhite, Sophomore lL PENSEROSO With due apology to John Milton, I have written a poem which tries to il- lustrate the conflict between fun and work in a study hall. Hence, all frivolous reading matter, Idle gossip, pleasant chatter, Never let your face be seen Vulgar Cosmopolitan, Modern Screen, For in this silent, hallowed hall, On stately learning I shall call. Goodbye, dear spitballs, hurled at a chum, Farewell, refreshing Wrigley's gum, All spirits of impish sports depart, For now staid knowledge has my heart. Come forth, oh wisdom, let me see, That for which I've given up glee. Do not forget to bring with you Examinations, Mondays blue, And monstrous worry, who doth even creep, Into my dreams and steal sweet sleep. From your dusty, shelves arise, Ye progeny of the old and wise, You books that long have muted lain, Parade before this tortured brain. Tyrannical pedagogues appear, No longer your rods shall I fear. Come laborious hours of toil, Schedules to which one must be loyal. Enter Philosophy and thought, Though I know they'll teach me naught. If from you, wisdom, these I may borrow, Adieul I'm leaving school tomorrow. Betts Hansen, Junior THE ETERNAL WATCH The snow fell, and as it fell A stillness blanketed the village. A stillness so quiet, so breathless That comes only with the snow. In the twilight a slender figure stood, Alone, staring toward the sea. The snow floated about her It settled on her hair, But still she stood, Alone in the quiet. In her eyes shone the brave faith, The love, that lives only in young eyes In wartime. She is not alone. The hush surrounds her, The snow creates a world of her own, She lives in her memories. Midi Sawyer, Senior MINIMIFIDIAN The music echoes through the halls, And through the open door I witnessed such a spectacle As ne'er was seen before. The piano keys were moving And the tone was sweet and mellow. Before my eyes there also played, Without a player, a cello. 84-. I strove to find musicians, But no one could I see Who might with human hands Produce the etheral melody. Then for some hidden reason The keys would play no more, And the bow of the ghostly cello Lay inanimate on the floor. The reason for the sudden end Was not hard to understand, For the words of a worldly skeptic Had the mysterious music banned. The person who entered the room Could not but perceive That the music was dev'lish trickery Meant only to deceive. He started at the apparitions And calmly, without leave Of the spirits who produced it, Said, I do not believe. ldalice Squire, Senior A QUESTION What does it mean When a sky serene Reigns like a queen O'er the earth below? Why, it's a sign That this heart of mine With joy benign Is aglow. Barbara Peyser, Senior WHAT IS VICTORY? I saw bright colors in the sky Andbwatched the white clouds drifting y. A robin from a dogwood tree Chirped to his mate so tenderly. In peaceful meadows just beyond Two ducks swam on the pond, And while I sat as in a dream My sad thoughts wandered from scene. this I saw a soldier lying dead, A bloody battlefield his bed. If he will not return to me How can there be a victory? Marion PeIIy, Eighth Grade TRIAL BY FIRE The man lay motionless, sweat run- ning off his body and a tense, tight- lipped eager look on his young face. He appeared to be straining to hear something, and occasionally a distant scream of excitement or pain reached his ears, then a still more distant rat- agtat-tat broke the stillness. Sounds like a rivet machine repairing a city street, he thought. He always jumped at these sounds but settled back with a sheepish look on his face. The minutes ticked by unbearably slowly, and his thoughts wandered back -85 to his girl and white-haired mother, who, he knew, were waiting at home. A wave of emotion hit him, which he fought to conceal from his companions. Suddenly he heard a noise like a foot- step on wood or hard-packed dirt. A powerfully built man trotted up, mut- tered a tense Follow me, Jenkins, and went on. The young'man-jumpedrup, muscles tense, waved a quick good-bye to his companions, and was swallowed from sight. The powerfully built man wearily wiped the sweat off his own brow and watched the figure of jenkins disap- pear. That Jenkins is a funny guy, he muttered to his companion. He comes in here every week to lose weight, but when I go get him in the steam room, he decides he's going right home to his girl and mother. Nancy Lee Hanson, Senior A THOUGHT The foundation of a thought is not in the mind But in the heart. Through each ember of emotion It arises. Over the nerves to the brain It travels. In each dark channel of the mind It grows. Through the genius of the human brain It materializes. Beyond materialization of its motive It vanishes. And only as a memory It returns. Mary Ellen Greenfield, Freshman THE BREMERTON NAVY YARD The Bremerton Navy Yard is like a great cauldron always seething and boiling with activity. Crowds stream in the gate, each person a small ingredi- ent working to make the whole con- coction a success. Inside the Yard, the noise is over- whelming. There is the sharp, searing whine of welding that cuts into your nerves like a dentist's drill. There is the deep, muffled beat of the pile- driver thudding like a native drum in the distance, and bells, whistles and sirens sound like a perpetual New Year's celebration. Various types of vehicles are con- tinually rushing everywhere, making the pedestrian's life a nightmareg jeeps bouncing and skidding along like small, playful puppies and large snorting trucks lumbering along like awkward St. Bernards. A giant crane comes creeping along the tracks like a huge black spider ready to pounce upon some unsuspecting victim standing in the way. As the ships come in alongside the docks, the men on deck look like scurrying ants, Sometimes a ship is barely able to make it because of the great jagged holes, like open wounds, in her smooth gray sides. Music is continually playing over loudspeakers, and during the night shifts, the huge, glowing lights and music blaring forth make the whole thing seem like a garish sideshow. When the whistle blows at the end of the shift, the people emerge from the buildings like a flood of water into the streets of the town, but others come in to take their places and the work never stops through day or night. Pat Scherrer, Sophomore TREES Trees, Sharply outlined On the cold clear pink of the early morning sky, Present A silhouette, Black and precise. Caught by their crisp oilcloth beauty And the clear, crystal pink of the skies, I gaze, And think Of the trim Christmas cards With their pink China sky And the cold And the glow of the winter I know, And the trim smooth line Of the trees. Barbara Peyser, S-enior u'0. Salwar ! A A NATIVE RITUAL The sun has melted out of sight And frogs begin to croak. The hush of twilight marks the scene. Where dance the native folk. A blazing fire provides the light And in its rudy glow The whirling, laughing natives Dance, ecstatic, to and fro, The chime and tinkle of tambourine, Drums' syncopated beat, The brassy clang of symbols- To the rhythm of shuffling feet. Dark bodies twisting, turning, Panting, rise and fall, Sleek and glistening with beads of sweat Swaying to the drums' call. The gathered tribesmen, squatting, Chant a weird and dissonant song, Rock to the lethargic music And clap to the primitive gong. Faster, faster, and faster The glistening natives go. Louder, louder, and louder And wilder the songs will grow. For this is a night of feasting The fete of a new-coming moon, So dance to the gutteral music! Chant to the wild drummer's tune! 'Til all on the ground lie prostrate Awaiting the new moon's grace Sleek, wet bodies kneeling Arms skyward with uplifted face. As the new moon slowly drifts forward, They bow in its mystic light. Then black natives march together Into the blacker night. Now she has risen in glory, Gone are the dancing men. The fete of the new moon is over, The forest is quiet again.

This, therefore, was a good sign for the opening of school September 6th. Old girls greeted each other after a summer's absence, and new girls were welcomed by all. Books and homework were assigned and the school settled down to a normal routine for another year. LIBRA: September 24th to October 24th Under this sign came the formal opening of the school social calendar with a piano concert given by Helen Buschmann at the new junior and senior dormitory, Gracemont. The music was lovely, the refreshments were delicious, and the event was regarded as a favorable forecast of things to come during the year. Two dances came on the calendar during this period of the horoscope. On October 7th the juniors held the first dance of the year at Gracemont, a mixer with Lakeside. Somehow the senior boarders joined the fun too, so at the dance given by the seniors for the V-12 trainees from the University, numerous junior boarders were in evidence, and not at the punch bowl alone. This dance, given on the 14th of October, was on a nautical theme, with music provided by records. One of the highlights was an unofficial ping pong tournament, and the affair was such a success that plans for future dances were made on the spot. October 17th was the date on which the seniors entertained their mothers and the teachers at a special luncheon. Before lunch came a patriotic assembly at which the Glee Club sang and the seniors told of the founding of the Army and Navy and gave several quotations from Thomas Paine and other early patriots. After lunch the teachers and mothers met with each other while the seniors worried lest hidden secrets be revealed. SCORPIO: October 24th to November 23rd Hallowe'en was the day for witches and goblins, and in the gym there were all that anyone could want. The Upper School played host to the Lower School at the annual Hallowe'en party, and the costumes were something to see. In a close race the prizes for the best costumes in the Grand March were awarded to johnny Lister and Eddie Dunn as the blushing girl Siamese twins, Toni Rembe as the Indian princess, Gretchen Ambuhl as the Lady In Red, Sydney Mardon as the farmer, Sally Greiner as the broom, and John Peters as the scarecrow. Afterwards there were relay races and refreshments, and the party ended with a presentation of Hansel and Gretel by the seventh grade. Another major event on the school calendar was the barn dance given by the sophomores on November 4th, Thanks to several bales of hay, decora- tions on the walls, and many diligent hours of work bv the sophomores, the gym was transformed into a perfect barnyard setting, The dance was complete with burlap programs, a Great Dane, and numerous pipes and packages of Bull Durham. Almost the entire high school turned out, clad in jeans and wool shirts or cotton pinafores, and even the V-12s who came as dates for the seniors wore dungarees and non-GI shirts. ln the closing days of Scorpio the whole school helped to present the Thanksgiving program November 22nd. With Pat Scherrer acting as master of ceremonies, the assembly was dedicated to the United Nations. Claire Clein, Evelyn Locke, Paula Gunby, and Betty Gleed, representing France, Greece, Italy and Belgium, told of the aid given those countries by the United States, and the dance group, accompanied by the Glee Club, presented the Dance of Freedom. The gifts of food, clothing, and money donated during the assembly were given to the Seattle Children's Home in time to give the children there a happier Thanksgiving. SAGITTARIUS: November 23rd to December 23rd December 7th, the third anniversary of Pearl Harbor, was School Bond Day during the Sixth War Loan Drive, and the goal set at school was S6,000, or enough to pay for one section of a Boeing B-29. However, partly because of the stirring assembly the day before, at which two service men just returned from overseas spoke of the need for War Bonds, and partly because of the selling Lgg.. l Christmas Play Cast. power of many of the girls, the amount raised was more than 50W over the top. The total figure amounted to 39025. The eighth grade had their fling at Gracemont with a dance on December 8th, The decorations, Cholly and red ribbons on the wallsj, the music, Cthe latest recordsj, and the company, Cthe current beaux of the underclassmenl, were so enjoyable that the curfew hour was extended half an hour, December 14th was the memorable date of Ye Olde English Christmas Dinner. Teachers and students alike pitched in to turn the gym into a replica of an old medieval castle festooned with evergreen garlands and wreathes, tapestries, and stained glass windows. Again, because of war conditions, the dinner gave way to a buffet in the late afternoon, but the occasion was, nonetheless, the major event in the Sagittarius calendar. The Lord and Lady of the manor, in the persons of Virginia King and Debbie Allen, welcomed the guests in regal manner and invited them to partake of the entertainment. There were dances by the Lower School and seventh and eighth grades, songs by the Glee Club, and the play, And There Were Shepherds, adapted by Kathryn Black and presented by the junior class. After the end of the festivities at school the play cast and the junior and senior members of the Glee Club braved the icy weather to go over to the Children's Home for another performance. The next day saw the beginning of the Christmas holidays, after class parties at school and an assembly which featured A Bird's Christmas Carol, presented by the seventh grade. The true Sagittarius disciples, i. e., those fond of outdoor sports, headed for the nearest ski hills and skating ponds, while those less hardy welcomed the two weeks of peace and quiet. CAPRICORN: December 23rd to January Zlst January 3rd saw the return of the natives to school after a vacation of skiing, sleeping, or just plain fun. The student body election began that week, and school halls were alive with posters and signs until january llth, the date of the final election. After all the votes were cast and counted, the results were announced at lunch: President, Sana Harrahg vice-president, Nancy Lee Hanson: court members, joan Frayn, Ruth Helsell, and janet Lister. These latter held a special meeting and chose Kathleen Billings, Barbara Farnsworth, and Martha Broughton to fill the empty places on the court. Student government was on its way for another semester. The next event under the sign of Capricorn was The Night of Jan. l6th, the play which the freshmen sponsored at the Showboat on the night of January 15th. The play was all the more interesting because members of the audience were picked to act as the jury in the mystery. They chose the right verdict, and they also got an inside view of the backstage activities and the actors. CThe night was even more memorable because of one of the actors in the play, who received quite an ovation from certain members of the audiencej AQUARIUS: January Zlst to February 20th Under the sign of Aquarius fell the installation of student-body officers and the annual Smorgasbord dinner, given in honor of old and new council mem- bers, After the sumptuous feast on which Elsa outdid herself, the various committee heads read their committee reports, and the first printed edition of the Rambler was presented to the school by the editor, Jackie VVanamaker. The proceedings were adjourned to the gym, where each class presented a skit. The teachers topped off the evening with a melodrama, starring Mrs. Lister and Mrs. Williams as the blushing heroine and the stalwart hero, respectively, not to mention the excellent supporting cast and the curtains. On February 8th the sophomores were hosts to their mothers at another special assembly and luncheon. Susie Black acted as mistress of ceremonies of the program, which was made up of examples of the class study of Dickens, and by a demonstration of the proof of two geometric propositions. The Glee Club ended the assembly with a group of Brahms selections. On February 10th, while ten poor, suffering seniors boned up for the Stanford Aptitude Test the next day, the lower classmen, unburdened by such cares, enjoyed themselves at the Broken Hearts Brawl at Gracemont. The dance was on a Valentine theme, given by the Freshmen for the Sophomores. A very good time was had by all those there, with no broken hearts to mar the festivities. PISCES. Febiuary 20th to March 22nd The Freshmen again took the spotlight on February 27th, when they enter- tained their mothers at the assembly and lunch. Nola DeLong was mistress of Ceremonies for the program, which included talks by Jill Philips and Helene Casserd, and an Egyptian dance by the girls in the dancing class, under Miss King's direction. The calendar is not large enough to include an account of all the other smaller dances, such as those at the Naval Academy or the U. S. O. dances given by the boarders. Let it suffice to say that all of these events were well- attended and were great successes. On March 9th the seventh and eighth grades sponsored Miss King in a recital in the gym. Also on the program was Miss Mary Ann Flanders, who sang two groups of children's songs. Following the program tea was served in the livingroom. Next under the sign of Pisces came the eighth grade mothers' luncheon. The mothers were entertained by a program consisting of a piano selection played by Paula Herb, who also acted as mistress of ceremonies, the eighth grade version of The Taming of the Shrew, and three dances by Gaynell Petrick and Jill Chism. ARIES: March 22nd to April Zlst The seventh grade mothers' luncheon was the first event to fall under Aries, the sign of the ram. The seventh and eighth grade chorus opened the program, and their singing was followed by several piano selections. The program was ended by another Shakespearian effort, this time The Merchant of Venice. The mothers were guests at lunch in the living room following the assembly. April 3rd was an important date on the calendar, for that was the night of the Dads' Dinner. A short program consisting of a skit by the Sophomores, two srngs lrv the Glee Club, and a scene from Marv, Queen of Scots by Kathryn Black and Sally Ayres preceded the championship basketball game between the feniors and the sophomores, which the seniors won by a score of 36 to 15. Following the game refreshments were served, and the fathers had a chance to get acquainted with the teachers and classmates of their daughters. The highlight of the evening came during the half of the basketball game, when the seniors took on a picked team of fathers for the annual game, The game, in which rules are a mere trivialitv and anything goes, ended 24 to 14, with the fathers on the long end of the score. The Ram was a fitting sign for the next event on the calendar, which was the Lower School Circus on April 6th, The gvm was changed into a replica of a circus, complete with sawdust ring, sideshows, and all the trimmings. There were bareback riders, tight-rope walkers, a band, trained lions, animal acts, acrobats, a tug-of-war, and last, but not least, clowns. These mightv events were announced by Graham Anderson, as ringmaster, and Louis Potschmidt, as chief clown, aided in the entertainment between acts. The end of the circus signaled the beginning of the long-awaited spring vacation. The College Boards fell the next day, and therefore the seniors taking them had to delay their celebration until afterwards. At noon Friday, amid a great uproar in the dining room, those seniors signed the College Board and were presented with cokes by the juniors. -90... t , l Emerging From the College Boards. School reconvened on April l7th, after an extra day of vacation, and everyone settled down for the last sprint before final exams and graduation. The last event under the sign of Aries was the comedy play, t'Suds ln Your Fyesf' sponsored by the Sophomores at the Repertory Playhouse. This social function was well attended, and those at school who could not come turned their tickets over to the USO. TAURUS: April Zlst to May 22nd The night of April 29th june lleek held a dance for the seniors at lirace- mont. The dance, formal, was followed by a buffet supper, and was acclaimed a great success by all those present. The next big event under the sign of Taurus was the Fine .-Xrts Tea, on May loth. The art, dance, and music g.oups were in charge of the program, which consisted of several dances by Miss Kintjs classes, some of which were accom- panied by the Glee Club, and several solo selections by the chorus. Two of the outstanding numbers were the Boogie XN'oogie and the Ugly llucklingf' Examples of the art work done at school by students from the kindergarten on up through the senior class were exhibited on the walls of the gym and in the halls. After the program, tea and delicious refreshments were served in the gym. Three days after the Tea, on Hay 19th, the junior class gave the annual Junior Prom. The gym was decked out in oriental fashion, with a fiery dragon on one of the walls. The black and gold programs carried out the theme also, and the music was provided by Center Case and his orchestra. The couples who attended hailed the dance as the best one yet. GEMINI: May 22nd to June 22nd Thrills and chills fell under this sign of the horoscope, with the senior play Sinister House on May 25th, Barbara Ludberg, Sally Ayres, and Katie Clare Roys had the leads, but everyone in the cast, from Barbara to .loan Frayn, as the corpse, turned in topnotch performances, Those behind the scenes who did not appear in the play deserved honors too, for all the work they put in to make the play a success. There were no other memorable dates to remember up to the date of graduation, except for baccalaureate services at Epiphany Church on the Sunday before. Final exams took up most of the preceding two weeks, and class parties were given afterwards to celebrate the completion of another year of school. 491- A Lesser Moment of 'I'he Senior Sneak. The seniors embarked on the usual whirl of houseparties, teas, dinners, luncheons, and swimming parties, and returned to school only for graduation rehearsals and Class Day exercises, when the Senior Will and Prophesy were rt-ad, the various sports awards were given, and the service scroll was awarded. The last memorable date in the Almanac is June Sth, Graduation, and this date speaks for itself. Let it suffice to say that it will be long remembered by the senior class of this year. KZKW -Q2..
