Thou shalt not wear shoes which are pointed or in any other way made pleasing unto the eye. Thou shalt not arrange thy hair in a manner which is not pleasing unto the Head-Mistresses. Wheii thou stanclest in line to 'await the feast, step not in front of thy neighbor. Thou shalt not bring food into the locker room, or loiter therein. Let there be silence in the passageways. In one week thou shalt not use more than three permissions to speak in the Room of Study, for verily I say unto you, it will bring sorrow upon your heads. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's books, nor her pencils, neither shalt thou make use of that which is not thine own. Thou shalt not enter the School by the front door unless thou hast been ordained Senior by the high powers. Obey the teachers and the laws of the powers that be, that thy days may be long in the school to which thy father sendeth thee. 23

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
