Top-Knot Sophomore Qlctihiti.-25 At a basket ball tournament, we of 1924 hoped to show the school what we really could do, and since we had beaten our last year's opponents we were quite optimistic. But as luck would have it, we drew for our adversaries those skillful seniors. We were doomed! Nevertheless we played our best, and startled those complacent girls by getting ahead of them once. We are duly proud of frightening them. The next exciting event was our annual party to the honored seniors. As the result of Miss I-lolland's coaching we gave a play, The Maker of Dreams, an artistic comedy, involving a Pierrot, a Pierrette, and a Maker of Dreams. Lovelady' Hamilton, Marian Tracy, and Laura Earle took these parts and we think they did them very well. We hope the seniors had a good time-we did. Now about this time it was decided by the Philanthropic Committee that each class should give a sum of money to some charitable organization, and we agreed, with great enthusiasm, to donate our funds to the Near East Relief. We came to earth with a thud one day, however, when we realized that we had no funds. We were in fact, practically penniless. We were inspired with the remark- able idea of a candy sale. Original or not, it did the deed, and now We feel ourselves quite wealthy, for something rattles in our treasury when we anxiously shake it up and down. '19 20

Top-Knot .iaintb :lfurm Qtluh The Ninth Form Club was organized by six girls. They thought if the members of the class could meet, 'give a few stunts, play games, and have refreshments, if possible, it would add greatly to the class spirit. Furthermore, the members of the class would learn to know each other better, and would make our Work more enjoyable. N The first meeting was a success. It was held in the Kindergarten room of the Progress Club. Only three or four girls were not there. We appointed a committee to arrange the program for the next week, and this has continued ever since. The most convenient time for the meeting was on Tues- day afternoon. At first the meetings were held each week, but towards the beginning of the second semester, we thought it best to have them only every two weeks. After the regular program, the girls dance until it is time to go home. This is the first club of its kind ever started in the school. - KATHERINE SATER Jfresijman Cltilass Zlctihities As for our Class Project, Hall Duty, let me illustrate. Little girl rises suddenly in the middle of a study period, and races for the teacher. I simply forgot all about hall duty! l'm dreadfully sorry! May I go now? Teacher smiles pityingly, and gives her consent. Little girl meanders to her place amidst the teachers. A few moments pass. Elderly teacher approaches. ' Are you on hall duty? Find Sally Smith, and hurry, please. This last drawn out. Lit- tle girl jumps up and runs to study hall door. Fifty heads turn as if mechanically. Every one looks at her anxiously. Little girl, overcome with all this attention, forgets Sallie Smith entirely, and in a sudden moment of despair retreats. Then she screws up her courage again, and presents herself to Miss Daniels' class. Timidly, ls Sallie Smithin here, please? Miss Daniels gives her a hurried glance and replies that she is not. But little girl can't help noticing how hopeful and pleased the class looks at the interruption. Little girl takes heart and says pleasantly: Thank you, Miss Daniels. ' Then she goes to the eighth form room, and ruthlessly opens and closes the door, leaving the class to gaze longingly after her. -She opens and closes other doors, but Sallie Smith is still not found. Then suddenly from the other end of the hall appears Mademoiselle. Ha-h-a, this in a satisfied tone. One demerit for loitering in the hallli' Little girl spends the next ten minutes arguing in simple explanation of the cause. The point is at last proved. Ma- demoiselle clearly seems disappointed. Little girl, with a sudden pang, remembers Sallie! She hopelessly begins a second round when elderly teacher approaches. Never mind, dear. I just found out that Sallie was excused this morning. Sorry to trouble you. ! l'hat's quite all right, says Little girl sweetly and earnestly. She returns to her seat,!and opens her book to spend the few remaining moments in much-needed study. Bell rings. She jumps up gleefully! Has she not good cause to be happy? Her lessons may have suffered, but she has clone her duty. She goes to her long-suffering teachers with a rainbow in her soul! 1924 22
