L ois Bliss THE TALE OF THE GOLDEN PLUME There was once a bright golden feather that lay at the bottom of a cardboard box. It was a Hnely shaped, splendid looking feather. but it was very unhappy: for it had but one ambition and that was to leave the dark cardboard box and to sit proudly on the headband of a Rondack Gagger. Day after day it lay sadly in the dark. thinking what a wonderful thing it must be to be part of a headband. where one could stretch up in all one's height and brightness, feel the wind, and even see the setting sun at campfire. I really don't care who Wears me. the feather would say to itsslf. It's such a comfort to be a golden plume. I can be sure that any girl who places me in her band is some one to be proud of. If she wears me. she not only has three white plumes beside me for her three stars, but I'll have the fun of knowing that shc's been so outstanding in Character, Athletics and Camp- ing that her councillors have voted her into Rondack's high honorary council, the GAG! Oh. golly, won't I be a proud feather when I get into a Gagger's headband! The moon waxed and the moon waned. and still that little feather lay in the dark box. And in those long weeks, the golden plume almost gave up hope. Then one evening the feather almost stood on one end in excitement. For there was Mr. Chankin speaking at the campfire, there was the great familiar silence as he walked around calling out the fortunate girls, and then out of the silence came the strains of Gamma Alpha Gamma Girls -and the little gold feather knew that its turn had come at last. THE FIRST CGAG5 THANKSGIVING Boldly and in high spirit, a select group of settlers marched through the clearing and into the darkened Pine Grove. Unlike their forefathers. they had no need to watch for wandering tribes of Indians or wild beasts fthose being safely tucked in bedj as they hastened to the Point for the first harvest feast of the season. They had gathered their food together before sunset. and now fin I strictly pioneer fashionj frankfurters were split and broiled, f placed tenderly between rolls and seasoned with that Pilgrims- 4 special -mustard. Those two new whitemen's dishes- brownies and ice cream-appeared and disappeared in exactly that order. ' With happy hearts fand one or two monotonesj our pio- neering picnickers sang song after song. United by ties of friendship-and food-each regretfully watched the dying fire. and then turned silently homeward. wary of enemy scouts. particularly the famed Long John.
