TOP-KN01' Columbus School for Girls Christmas Dinner- IQ22 TTIRED in our semi-annually donned white frocks, we once more set out for the Christmas dinner. As usual, the donning of this frock did not make us very cheerful. The remarks of our families to the effect that we looked sweet and girlish did not have the desired result. Soon we were entering the dressing room and exhibiting to and comparing with our friends how much and where our dresses were out- grown. In a little while we entered, the long dining hall with' our class. We were overcome with delight. We had forgotten it was like this, long, long tablesg Christmas greensg candle light. Before sitting down, we all sang Miss Gladden's lovely song of praise. We were very glad' to see that Miss Gladden was there for the dinner. It made things nicer. During the first course, we spent our time in seeing that we, as well as our neighbors, were using the proper utensils. During the next course, Mrs. McClure gave a short talk about the three things for which C. S. G. stands-Comradeship, Scholarship, and Good Will. During the rest of the dinner these qualities were brought, so to speak, as offerings from the classes. Eleanor Thomas spoke for the sophomores on Comradeship, Mary Sackett for the juniors on Scholarship, and Betty Price for the seniors on Good Will. Miss Carolyn L. Scott of South High School gave a very interesting talk on the Christadora House in New York. Toasts, vehemently lead by Mr. Hoenig, were sung at intervals. By this time any crossness which we might have felt before, was entirely gone. A sort of thrill ran through one to look down the long tables and see the crisp white dresses, the sparkling faces, all softened in the gleam of the candle light. It was something we should not soon forget. The senior team, champions of the season, received their Basket Ball letters. Mrs. McClure then showed the loving cup presented by Miss Carey, Miss Cavers, Miss Dillon, and Miss Simonds. Great delight prevailed. Next we all enjoyed What Makes Ch.1 zLstma.s, Christmas, a play of Mrs. McClure's, very cleverly given by the eighth grade. After having worn ourselves out in the irresistible old-fashioned dances, we realized that we must go. We departed with many Merry Christmases ringing in our ears, and the feeling that for nothing in the world would we have missed the Christmas dinner. illl

TOP-KNOT Columbus School for Girls l i . I HE girls of the Columbus School for Girls have always been interested in dramatics, but until recently there has never been a permanent Dramatic Club. The Winsome Wig Dramatic Club was formed last year, and gives every indication of continuing for many more years. Were it not for The Rivals, by Richard Brinsley Sheridan, the Winsome Wig might never have been. The cast for The Rivals was selected by Mr. Samuel Arthur King of Bryn Mawr in the fall of 1921, but unfortunately since the girls did not have the time that year to produce the play as it should be given, it was postponed. In order that the cast should lose none of its enthusiasm, and in order to promote an active interest in dramatics, Mrs. McClure suggested that The Rivals cast should be the founders of a Dramatic Club. The Winsome Wig is the result. There are two methods of admission-by special recommendation for talent, and by try-outs. The try-outs this year were most successful, and eight girls were admitted by this method. Twenty is the limit for membership. l13l
