THE BLUE MOON I3 fi: gt v Sofzkzl Calendar SEPTElN1BER 28 OCTOBER ZS O O O O School opens. Everyone arrives and is duly thrilled, content to look over each other as well as the school. Enthusiasm and optimism reign supreme. CTOBER 5 Everyone was at high tension today be- cause of Mr. Burnham's recital. He always plays so beautifully that we look forward to this event as not only a great privilege, but also as a real pleasure. VVe almost gurgled with glee when we discovered that the Erl-King was on his program. CTOBER 8 Today we were thrilled to the core. Miss Hess read some of the most fascinating monologues that we have ever heard. In fact, we all felt so inspired after her re- cital that almost the entire school turned out en masse for Dramatic Art in hopes that some day we may make her proud of us. CTOBER 16 , All the new girls must be officially instated in school, so Initiation serves this pur- pose as well as puts us in the best of humors. All the girls were good sports, so that the cuckoo act and the bread and milk scene were done to perfection. Dancing and feasting followed, and we all think that such good initiatees should be regarded with respect by the initiators. CTOBER 28 Hockey game with Gordon-Roney School, followed by a tea in the library. Dr. Caskin always takes this date as his own and does his best to make it the most memorable date of the school year-and we all know what Dr. Caskin's best means. VVitches, ghosts, pirates, and old-fashioned ladies were present at the Hallowe'en party. After being surprised and pleased a good many times we were ushered into the dining room, where we nearly fainted at the quality as well as the quantity of the food. The school gathered together at the close of the celebration to thank our kind benefactor with a Dr. Caskin-Rah! Rah! Rah! NOVEMBER 7 Mary Lyon vs. Caskin hockey game at Caskin Field. NOVEMBER 13 The junior College Class exhibited their histrionic ability by presenting their inter- pretation of that famous poem, The Shoot- ing of Dan McGrew. The stage setting as well as the pantomime was most orig- inal. Dan McGrew, with his dark look, the Stranger in his bear skin, the Lady known as Lou with her wiles, all provided us with a most enjoyable evening. NOVEMBER 17 At one of Mrs. Caskin's looked-forward-to teas the Dramatic Art class presented a play called, At the End of the Rainbow. Mary Eleanor Stewart made a sad and realistic Pierrette adored by Pierrot, Mar- garet Taylor. Edythe Rodgers was a timid Fortyfnine

THE BLUE MOON Will o' the Wisp and proved to us that she could dance as well as act. It was such a dainty' little sketch that it served as a splendid appetizer for the cakes and tea that followed. DECEMBER 4 Guess what the Seniors offered us tonight for entertainment? Nothing less than a fashion show. And it was no mean show at that. The setting was most artistic and Mr. Ziegfeld would need to look a long way before he could produce the equal. A great success, Seniors, and more power to you. DECEMBER 6 Sally Caskin kept the whole auditorium spellbound on the night of her recital by the things that dreams are made of. In other words, Sally plays the piano so beau- tifully that everyone who hears her gets an inspiration to do bigger and better things. If this young lady keeps up at the present rate, we foretell a great future for her. DECEMBER 17 At last! The great event has come. The Christmas dance lived up to its reputation and we all had a good time. The music was fine, and-well, just leave it to the Caskins when it comes to knowing how to pulla-party. DECEMBER 18--JANUARY 6 J J J Home and mother. ANUARY 6 Everyone was anxious to get back and tell everybody else all about everything else. In fact, some just couldn't stay away all the given amount of time. ANUARY 16 Penn Charter Glee Club in all its glory arrived tonight. The voices were beau- tiful and they surprised us with the Man- dolin Club and some clever take-offs. Dancing afterward, which always means that there will be a fresh source of con- versation for some time to come. ANUARY 22 Our sweet tooths got the better of us, and we succumbed to a fudge party. And such .creamy fudge you never tasted be- fore! Fine time was had by all and another party like it is sure to follow-if we have anything to say about it. FEBRUARY 5 It was one of those beeootiful moonlight nights and we just could not stay in school, so with Miss Bleker as a chaperone we toddled down to the Cottage Tea Room in Bryn Mawr for one of those chicken and waffle dinnersf' It was just for such times as this that you are willing to walk a mile for-to the tune of She Was just a Sailor's Sweetheart. FEBRUARY 6 A clue-a chase-shrieks-excitement--the treasure. Such fun! We are greatly in- debted to the ones who thought up the great idea of a treasure hunt, because it has been the source of a great deal of en- joyment, and certainly a relief from our lessons. The only fault we can find is that we all can't have the treasure. FEBRUARY 12 Were we thrilled? The prospect of going to a real Philadelphia dance meant a great deal to us poor little schoolgirls. Marcels, all our finery, a Main Line bus, and we arrived at Eleanor's dance. Thanks, Eleanor, for the spiffy time and may the Class of '27 have as big-hearted a Presi- dent as you. FEBRUARY 13 After struggling for days and days trying to right about march and 'ffall in, we finally had the formal gymnasium exhibi- tion. It was proclaimed a great success by all the spectators, although the girls were quite sure that it was due for a flop, FEBRUARY 19-22 All the lucky girls who went to Lake Placid during the week of Events said that they had never crowded so much fun into so short a time before. Mrs. Caskin proved herself again to be the best of sports, and those who remained at school can't help but be a wee bit jealous of the travelers. FEBRUARY 25 Yo! Yo! Yo! And a cup of tea! Miss Dorothy Duff entertained a group of her school friends at a tea given in honor of Mrs. Caskin on February 25th. The library was attractively decorated, 'Sweetheart Roses' being the motif. MARCH 6 If anniversaries and birthdays could only come twice a year! Blue candles, daffo- dils for decorations, steak, mushrooms, yum, yum, and we are off. So now you know why Dr. and Mrs. Caskin were not the only people who were happy on their anniversary. Patty looked mighty pleased, too, sitting by the side of her one-year-old pride and joy. After a grande repas, the whole party assembled in the library, where they were given the first clue to a treasure hunt. We all wish Dr. and Mrs. Caskin and Barbara Heflin many more happy returns of the day-and we want Dr. to know that we think it does pay to talk shop. MARCH 13 Whoever thought that a bridge party could be so much fun? Afterward tea was served and Sally played for us. Dode Messer was the lucky person who won the raflie on the memory book, and Mrs. Simp- son held the winning number for the pil- low. The party really was a peach, and we all thank Mrs. Hall for all she did to help us. Fifty
