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

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
