TOP-KNOT, 1928 THE NEW SCHOOL The new school has for the past four months been the one al1-absorb- ing topic of conversation! The general plan delights us all. The build- ings are to be of primitive Mediterranean architecture, low and ram- bling, with sloping red roofs, and with white walls enclosing courts with , - - - - W V l- l l l . , -M ir .. , A.

The windows are to be wide open to the sun and breezeg and the sections of the different build- ings are to be connected with colonnades, so that in passing from one class to another the girls may get into the fresh air. How the younger girls are looking forward to the pleasures of tak- ing part in a morning service held in the Gladden Chapel. How we older girls envy those to come after us who will have their indoor sports in a real gymnasium, with a roof garden where they can play when the ground is too wet or too dusty for comfort! How wonderful it will be 7

COLUMBUS SCHOOL FOR GIRLS Lael felt deeply gratified. Here was her cue for her remark about the stupendousness of life! The world is so big, she said, making her voice soft and appealing, one feels very small and inconsequential. With great effort she repressed a desire to add n'est-ce pas? to her sentence, and then con- tinued, One's little worries and desires seem so trivial. A wave of self-consciousness surged over her and she pressed her foot on the accelerator. You mustn't think that, Jim said, with a misleading seriousness. The things themselves don't mean anything, but it's their relation, their use to you. I sometimes wonder, Lael replied, a little encouraged by Jim's responsiveness, if there can be a God. He must be very cruel. You are-! Lael had a vague suspicion that he was going to say lKy0ung,.77 You are a little cynic. But time changes all things. When you have lived a little longer and seen a little more- He needn't be so condescending! Lael did wish he hadn't said a little cynic. It seemed rather fiippant. Perhaps he was trying to come down to her level! They were almost back. Lael drank in the fresh, fragrant air. It was indeed spring! There's something about this kind of day- said Jim. Lael nodded and smiled at him with evident sympathy. He must realize now that she understood. At last they were at home and Anne was coming out to meet them. It's been great, he said, and I don't know when I've been so uplifted. Lael glanced up at him quickly but he seemed quite serious. So the wanderers have returned. Anne took Jim's arm and fairly snatched him away. Jim smiled goodby at Lael. While she was locking the car, she heard him say: Your little sister's darned sweet-very naive and serious. We had quite an elevating conversation about life and God and all sorts of tre- mendous things. Awfully amusing, but I'm quite exhausted. Lael ran into the house. PATRICIA STEWART, '28 6

In the new school nothing will benefit more than the clubs. In the Dramatic Room there will be a library made up of the best plays, of biographies of great actors, of books on costume and make-up and stage- craft. The Council will have the best room of all, for here will be held the Weekly Council meetings throughout the year. I Pittori will have a room where meetings can be held, where there can be small art exhi- bitions, and where a good library of art books and magazines can be collected for the use of the members. The Pupil Publication Board will have a room' where all the work of the Board can be done, where MSS. can be kept, where exchanges from other schools can always be on view, where the old files of the TOP-KNOT and the Scroll can be safely kept. The hopes and plans for the new school are many, and we trust they can soon be realized. 8
