THE BLUE MOON MARCH 25 The school dramatic artists got together and decided to give us a treat, so with the aid of Miss Hess a splendid program was arranged for Dramatic Night. The Heart of a Clown, The Trysting Place, and two monologues given by Mary Eleanor Stewart and Eleanor Hall made up the program. MARCH 26 The much-needed Spring vacation. APRIL 9 Why did Miss Haughton wait so long to delight us with her recital? When some- one knows how to give just the right kind of program they shouldn't be so stingy with them. Did we like it? We'll say we did! Miss Yokama was a darling and we fell in love with her. APRIL 15 The faculty treated us to a wallle party in the Domestic Science Building. They did the cooking and waiting on table, and we all got an awful kick out of watching them. And some of the costumes-wow! APRIL 23 Hockey banquet in the graduates' dining room for the hockey team. Are we proud of our team? VVe awsk you? APRIL 24 Mlle. Fouquet was Stage Manager and Director of the French play, Le Medecin Malgre Lue, in which the French Class became the actors. Splendid work, and again we must pat our French department on the back. MAY 8 Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed as such as these. Our May Queen and her attendants watched the sports with a pleased expression, and well they might, because the girls certainly did themselves proud in their athletics. MAY 15 The whole graduate class was represented at Edyth's bridge party. The day stu- dents certainly are darling about enter- taining for us boarders. We appreciate you all more and more each day. MAY 31 Dorothy and Jeanette Ledogar were host- esses at a dinner and theatre party for the graduate class. Of course, everything was lovely, like it always is when they enter- tain, and we all had one grand time. JUNE 1 When Barbara thought of a bridge party she hit on the right idea. She would know our failing for bridge! We were all hav- ing such a good time that the hours simply flew. Thanks, Barbara, you know we all think you are a regular ole peach. JUNE 2 Again Mrs. Caskin entertains! Only this time a luncheon for the graduate class, and at the Bellevue. You do think of such darling things to do for us, Mrs. Caskin, and we hate to leave school more than you will ever realize. JUNE 5 Commencement. Well, we're real young ladies now, and we only hope that the world and life itself will be as sweet and kind to us as the Caskin family has been. Please don't forget all about us, 'cause we just have to say farewell. LQ? Why is man never satisfied With what he has to do? Life either has too many frills Or else it has too few. And on his entrance to the stage Of life, man plays it there, For in his circle of the plot Each man will have his share. And share of all and share alike, No matter how it be, Each man will have his joy and sorrow, And then eternity. PEGGY TAMS, '27. Fifty'o'nc

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

THE BLUE MOON Alumnae Note! HE Alumnae of Caskin's School? O, my yes, get all the telephones, wireless, telegraph and cable apparatus in working order. We are going scouting. But- perhaps after all it would bc better to call on-yes, our friend Mercury, that fleet-footed messenger of the gods. Get busy, Nlercuryl lllercury straps on his winged sandals and tries an experimental flight over the seas of the world, only to find that Margaret Huline, of the Class of 1919, has preceded him and had now returned to her home. Of this same class is Lucile Johns, who is at Altoona taking a course in kindergarten work. Remember Margaret Ivins, of Chestnut Hill? Well, llrlercury found that she was married in April and is now living in Arizona. Then lllercury stopped for a while at St. Petersburg, Florida, only to find there that Edie Van Horn had forsaken her former haunts at Charleston, W. Va., and was spending the winter there. ' lllercury, continuing on his way north, reached Pittsburgh and decided to see what was doing. He discovered that two members of the ranks of '24 were about to join the younger married set. lllartha Oliver was to marry lllr. Arthur Pitcairn Barringer, of Pittsburgh, on May the eighth, and Katherine Arthur was to marry lllr. Ronald Ames from the same city some time in June. Arriving at Philadelphia, city of Quakers and Blue Laws, llflercury encircled the town until he found at Hahnemann Hospital Louise Brown, who is studying nursing there. But one member of that same Class of '24 was missing from the town, Virginia Lee Hoodless, who had gone abroad for the summer. Ermina Bond, still another member of this famous class! Mercury hastened straight to Cleveland, there to find Ermina taking a course in kindergarten work. What of our most newly graduated class, you say? Mercury will reassure you. At Pittsburgh he found Helen Wilson, industrious as always, studying music and being private secretary in her father's oflice. Around more familiar ground he discovers lllargaret Watt in the Wayne High School, officiating as secretary. Charlotte Ander- son, also taking up the career of business woman, is working in her father's ofiice. Then, at St. David's, Mercury inquired for Ada Muller, only to find she was at that moment studying at the Peirce Business School in Philadelphia. Libby Powell, illus- trious President of last year's class, had returned a short time ago from Camden, South Carolina, where she had been playing golf. So llrlercury having accomplished his task, and given us all the information we wanted. returns once more to that haunt of the gods, Mt. Olympus. Fiftytwo
