M ARY ELIZABETH MEEK SENICDPS COLUMBUS SCHOOL for GIRLS THOUGHTS ON COMMENCEMENT Look back! Look back! The passing hours cry. l'll not look back-- No, not I. The door is opening, And clad in white we stand Looking down bright avenues To an unknown land. Life sparkles within us, We are young, we are free. Comrades, come! Great dreams call us, Wondrous visions we see. So with the joyous will to dare, The whole world is before us! Let us go quickly And seize our share! And, yet, beneath this joy there runs A mournful, melancholy strain- This is the last time. This is the last time We'll climb the long sunny stairs To the fellowship of ordered classrooms. This is the last time We'll see the banners red and golden In the solemnity of the chapel service. No longer will the shade splashed lawns be ours To wander over as we please. No longer will we have the joyous contests On the breeze swept playing fields. This is the last time. Never look back! Happiness was there. Yet the whole world is before usl Let us go quickly And seize our share! MARY ELIZABETH MEEK, 1941 l 6 l 4 S' if N lg. ' X .S ,1- yf.

Dear, I'm so delighted over your recent successes! How you do make men swoon when you flash on the screen. Why even the other night, I thought I'd lost Joe for good, for he wouldn't say one word to me on the way home after seeing your latest movie, Love Rules the World. Perhaps it's a good thing you're way out there in Sunny California . . . oh, by the way, does it really rain there all the time, or is that just rumor running wild again? But now I'm getting away from the purpose of this letter. Dear, the reason I am writing is to let you in on the simply appalling news that the Class of 1941 at C. S. G. is drafted. You just don't know how lucky you are to be an entertainer, for they're exempt to keep up the morale of the armies. CNote the plural, for that's what it's come to be.J It seems that Uncle Sam ran out of males and so we women must get in and do our share, too. I The first day at the camp for draftees was full of surprises for everyone. I was embarrassed no end when I didn't recognize my old classmates. My, how time changes a person! Why, it seems like only yesterday, instead of 20 years ago, that Mrs. Stoddard lsuch a dearl was scolding us. Most of the girls are married, but not to confuse you, I'll stick to the maiden names you know them by. Quite by accident, the first person I saw-one who was having a rather hard time being able to tell the quartermaster her size for a uniform-was Vir- ginia I-Iildreth. You remember Jinny, I'm sure, famous for her Thoity-Thoid Street lingo, and always keeping the home fires in detention burning. Well, Jinny, as I said before, has had such a difficult time making herself understood, for now her accent is so pronounced, it's almost another language, that she's resorted to the use of sign language. After obtaining my uniform, I decided to look over the kitchen, as I l 23 I COLUMBUS SCHOOL for GIRLS always was a domestic soul, and you'll simply die when I tell you who I found browsing around concocting luscious dishes and looking as if she actually was enjoying it . . . None other than Mary Reynolds! The next person I saw was Ann Stoneman, who was warming some milk. Stonie is as cute as ever, and you can well imagine how surprised I was to learn that she is the mother of five handsome youths. Stonie just couldn't be drafted without them, so with special permission from Mary Brent Davis, who is the General, she set up housekeeping in the camp. When I went over to see Stonie's house, which was truly a relief from the usual tents, I met many more of the girls. Tossie Heaton was bisecting a frog in the middle of the living room floor, and simply fascinating Stonie's offspring. Tossie is the Biologist of the Century, and because of her knack wth children, she had written and lectured on The Relative Importance of Biology and the Child. Rather deep for me, but with her able assistant, Derry Jane Mooney, Tossie's quite a success. Mary Brent Davis and Ellen Butler, the two commanding officers, were bustling and bustling about taking care of the affairs of the camp, so I didn't see much of them. But I hear they've both done a splendid job of reorganizing the plumbing so that the hot water no longer comes out of the cold water faucets, and vice versa. Carolyn Little and Frances Frederiksen haven't become adapted to army life as yet, and have been quite a problem. After life in New York, it must be quite dull: but then with Juanita Cornett and Sue Sun fwho worked for the Florida Chamber of Commerce for many yearsj to cheer them up, I'm sure they'll snap out of their despondency. Alean Brisley has turned out to be quite the little U7 soldier. Besides winning a couple of medals for submitting the greatest variety of ways to cook beans, she has proved to be an example to the other soldiers by actually going on a diet in the wilds of Oklahoma. Sally Steinhauser and Marguerite Hillman became partners in an act of great daring. My dear, I almost fainted when I saw itl Sally puts an apple on her head and Marguerite, who always was a crack shot, shoots it off at 100 yards away. Quite a feat! Ann Gumble and Marjorie Essex have become the two most popular girls in the camp. You see, Ann brought her convertible. as she just couldn't part with it, and Marjorie her horse, for the horse just couldn't part with Marjie. l24l TOP-KNOT 1941 The two keep close watch over their possessions, though, in an almost miserly fashion. Patsy Eidson and Patti Teachnor seemed to revel in this sort of life until their tent was visited by a rather sinister looking garden snake. Patti jumped upon the cot, and wouldn't get down for a whole day. Patsy proved to be the brave one in killing the reptile. No doubt her courage was due to the fact that she was elected the bravest woman in Ohio, because she walked right up to a Tontalogia and killed it. fI.ater when they told her what the creature was, she had a complete nervous breakdown.J .Ioan Deckman, whose fame I'm sure has reached you on account of her amazing fourth dimension drawings, decided that the camp buildings were just too drab. My dear, you should see what a delightful change she's made in them by painting everything sky-blue-pink. Her assistant. Martha Eis, can be seen at almost any hour carrying pails and brushes for Joan. Martha is her official paint mixer, which is quite an honor, believe me, as Joan always was particular about her colors, Anne Dye. who traveled extensively after leaving college. has taken to Oklahoma as a duck takes to Water, for its wilderness and plains remind her of the Asiatic desert her favorite spot. Jean Moore spends most of her spare time in working on her Theory. It's much too deep for me to comprehend: but I hear that as soon as it's finished it will be more sensational than Einstein's ever thought of being. Barbara Reed is Captain of the Cavalry and is truly distinguished. She entertains us all in the evening with her violin, which is very relaxing to our nerves after a hard day's work. Betsy Scherr and Mary Elizabeth Meek, the famous jingle-kids, almost drive the camp crazy, for everything they say comes out in verse. They have literally made a fortune by writing jingles for Shurma Shave. I'm sure you've read them along our highways. Last. but not least, I come to Susan Mcllroy. She's still as beautiful as ever, and for the past ten years has been chosen America's Loveliest Model . . . Cstrange. but Sue still looks 18 instead of her true age, which she refuses to tellj. Well, dear, I believe I've included everyone. It's such a shame that you can't be here with us. for we're all having the time of our lives trying to keep army regulations enforced: but you can well imagine how far we get with over . .

Then came our circus for the Sophomores. and the grand party given for us by the Seniors. Besides the radio raffle we held this spring. we have been active in work for Bundles for Britain.

By far our most important project was taking over the publication of Flash from the Seniors. In combination with the Freshman. we gave an enjoyable dance on Washington's birthday. To swell the class treasury during the spring and fall we sold ice cold Coca Cola. and in the winter we raflled off a lovely cashmere sweater. Our class is well represented in all athletics and other extra curricular activities. We are now looking forward with a great deal of enthusiasm to next year. when we shall be the Junior Class of C.

In April we gave a Hobby Show and enacted our favorite comic strips on the stage.

An interesting feature has been a Council Forum held in Chapel for the discussion of school problems. This year the Council has voted to donate a cup to be awarded to the girl in the Senior Class who is con- sidered most representative of the school. Through Dr. Shellabarger's kind interest, Faculty and students have been drawn into close understanding of each other's problems. and both groups will vote to decide who wins the Council Cup.

At Christmas and just before spring vacation we published two excellent issues of The Scroll. thus vindicating our right to appear as a club. In addition, we drew up a constitution. and really established ourselves as an organization with regular oflicers. This year we have tried to build up an exchange of magazines with other schools. We now exchange with The Compass. from Shipley School. The Magpie. from Saint Margaret's. and The Chameleon. from Concord Academy. We hope next year's Scrollers will be able to increase this number.

Throughout the year I Pittorz' has been busy with the artistic and social activities, At present we are all looking forward to the June Festival, for which I Pittorz' is working very hard. Recently we gave a dinner at the Pantry in order to become better acquainted with Miss Laylin, our new teacher of design. A sketching class. made up almost entirely of I Pizzori girls has been formed. We go sketching at the farm, along the streets of Columbus, and once we even went to the zoo. We have also helped the Dramatic Club in making stage settings and programs. l42l TOP-KNOT 1941 l Cora Jane Baxter, Alcan Brisley, Betsy Brumback, Ellen Butler. Nancy Casto. Juanita Cornett.

At this time we presented a one-act play. Ah, The Ladies, in which many of the club members took part. Since then we have had several meetings at the homes of various members of the club. In November, we attended the dress rehearsal of High Tor. at Capitol University. where we gained a number of helpful points on the production of plays. Much of our club work has been combined with that of the Dramatic classes, and with their help we were able to produce A'Androcles and the Lion. by Bernard Shaw. Faculty. parents and students were unanimous in praise of our work. and we enjoyed the experience tremendously. Next year the club hopes to expand its work along even more interesting lines. l 43 l COLUMBUS SCHOOL for GIRLS lfllen Butler. Mary Brent Davis. Marcia Fidlcr. Mary Jane Greer, Carolyn Little.

Each morning we have led the service, and have assisted at various special occasions. At the Christmas dinner. the Choir was truly a sight to behold-every member robecl in a crisp Eton collar, and pert red bow. Under Mrs. West's direction we sang carols on the balcony of the Southern Hotel. This year we have begun what we hope will become an annual tradition: a sing with the Glee Club of the Columbus Academy. And now we are eagerly looking forward to commencement--the procession-the favorite hymns-the end of the School Year! 1451 ' Q V- . vb 1 ky Q...i-lvl g i ' TN -,,...-s--v jr 5 mm- -W ax E fflk N. i ffl., ,x 1 , 4 1 - sv ,ef ff xg' F, 'N Q! 2 ' s K .

The Varsity had a very successful season, as we defeated both Arlington and the University School twice. and battled to a tie with Grandview. Our one defeat came at the hands of Oakwood, which has always been our traditional rival. In team competition the Golds defeated the valiant Reds in two out of three games. Both the First and Second teams showed exceptionally fine sportsmanship this year. especially during the Oakwood game, when a number of our players were hurt.

An active team has been organized. and has been closely followed by all the students. The team has enjoyed playing Bexley, Grandview, Arlington, St. Marys. and the University School. Up to date, G.S.G. is undefeated. and hopes to conclude with an entirely victorious season. At present the matches for the individual tennis cup are being played, the winner to he decided at the .lune Festival. l54l COLUMBUS SCHOOL for GIRLS THE SCHOOL YEAR AT A GLANCE The good ship C. S. G. was launched by Admiral Shellabarger, on its forty-second voyage, September twentieth, 1940. In chapel that morning, the Admiral looked upon the upturned faces of his crew. Some he knew from past voyages, others were new: but every one was looking forward to the voyage with anticipation. The Student Council had already met to make plans and lay the course for the coming year. It promised to be a bon voyage. Now we are pulling back into port. We have met a few pirates, hit some shoals. and run into a few storms. Some of us were even left stranded on an island, once or twice. Now, all are again on board, expectantly waiting to land. But seriously, this is a review of the school year. The first big event last fall was C. S. G.'s traditional Old Girl, New Girl at the farm. The whole Upper School participated in competitive games. The new girls had their first taste of the Red and Gold team rivalry. The Reds respectfully UD let their elders fthe Seniors, Sophomores, and Eighth Formers, you knowj win for the day. But they gave us our share of fighting, later on. We're neck and neck now: both teams nervously waiting to see who will win the Cup on School Night. Will Ann Stoneman. the Gold Team captain, rush up the aisle, almost before her name is called: or will Barbara Wentz, the Red Team captain, excitedly flaunt the cup before the mighty seniors? Almost as socn as school began, the hockey enthusiasts, and those who soon become enthusiasts, started practice for games with other schools. We en- joyed the games a lot, although we were not undefeated. Those teams were a few of the pirates we met on our voyage. The tennis team seems to have been more successful. To take up our figure of speech again, the A'crew wanted a shore leave on Armistice Day. They drew up a petition, and sent a delegation to Admiral Shellabarger. The Admiral, being a fun-loving person, granted the leave. You should have heard the cheers in Chapel that day! The autumn weeks flew by, full of important events. The Song Contest was won by the Sophomores, because of their peppy song to Captain Ann. The Freshmen had a financially and socially successful skating party. Before we knew it, Thanksgiving Day and its short vacation came along. The Philan- thropic Committee was busy collecting food and clothing that week. Then came December, bringing the famous C. S. G. Christmas festivities. Mrs. West soon fand very easily. tool got us into the holiday spirit by having us sing our favorite carols. The Christmas trees and presents for our poor l56l TOP-KNOT 1941 families were bigger and better than ever, this year. The dinner at the Southern Hotel-well, words cannot describe it. After the Seniors had sung to our head- master, there weren't many dry eyes. The following day the Lower School gave its annual Christmas Pageant. Patti Teachnor, of 1941, was the Madonna. The little Clapp twins were angels indeed. Nothing is more discouraging than coming back to school after a nice holiday, and facing the mid-year examinations: but that is what we did? Exams were over by the first of February. and sighs of relief came from all the girls. Meanwhile, we have had our Chapel programs-in fact we have one every day. The lirst part of the year we heard from the teachers. Dr. Shellabarger again gave us a series of his famous talks on world affairs, and before we knew it, we had our Time Current Events test. There were also several movies in Chapel. and a lecture on Lenox China. We had, too, several doctors and min- isters as speakers. Dr. Shellabarger gave us a series of talks on literature, some of which produced Senior term papers. The class parties this year were unusually good, including the Seniors' play, Penelope's Predicamentn: the Sophomores' Superstition party: the Juniors' Circus: and the well acted plays of the Freshmen, Eighth and Seventh Formers. And how can we fespecially IJ ever forget Alumnae Day, the famous Alice Marble. Androcles and the Lion, the French Club play fin real French, tool, Senior exams, Trial Boards, the college teas, the school's big drive for Bundles for Britain and the Red Cross, the horse-show, and the more recent Council elections? No, none of these can be forgotten. The Academy, besides being present at the Freshman-Sophomore Valentine dance and the Junior Barn dance, also joined C. S. G. in a joint concert given by their glee club and our choir. Now we are all looking forward to Commencement week. We know Susan Mcllroy is to be Queen of the Day at the Schoo1's June Festival. The Festival, I hear. is to have a patriotic turn-and a real band at that. Then comes the Juniors' Farewell Banquet to the Seniors, Lower School Day, School Night, and FINALLY Graduation Day itself! Twenty-eight girls dressed in flowing white dresses, carrying the roses of C. S. G., will sing their last song to you fellow schoolmates, the fifth of June. At last they are graduating! lVlARY BRENT DAVIS. 1941 l57l COLUMBUS SCHOOL for GIRLS THE HOUSE AT BRYDEN AND PARSONS A gracious mansion, stately, proud, Formerly sheltered from traflic's loud, Noisy din. It stands alone. Of Georgian vintage: its cool stone Pillars giving entrance there. A happy place where all may share In fun and comradeship. All day Joyous laughter of children gay Floats heavenward upon the breeze. The house, set back amid stately trees, Has found contentment near life's end. Inside, sharp, twisting stairways wend Their unhurried way to a higher plane. If one should pause at the window pane On the landing, the glass would faintly display Initials carved one long-gone day. Carved with a diamond: they said 'twould be Their symbol of love eternally. The house stands. Who could ever say The lives it has watched from its farthest day? Beneath the stairs, a secret room- Twice as mysterious and dark in the gloom- A haven for slaves in Civil War times. Who knows how many from southern climes Have hidden there, with bated breath? The old house knows, but, still as death, Never answers, Never will. Gracious and kindly, she stands there, still. MARCIA FIDLER, 1 The French classes have supplied us with the fol- lowing bright ideas: The Sorbonne is a winter resort, and Richelieu is a French chef. l58l 942 TOP-KNOT 1941 FREEDOM FOR AMERICANS What is freedom? Webster defines freedom as the state or condition of being free, independent or immune. Throughout the ages people have had many different conceptions of freedom, have waged bloody wars to keep their inde- pendence: but now we are, perhaps, waging the most stupendous battle for freedom the world has yet witnessed. Let us glance backward for a moment at the significant pages in America's history. One hundred and sixty-five years ago our ancestors felt increasing abuse by their English governors and willingly shed blood to shake off the iron hand of these masters. sent from the mother country. After the long war, full of suffering and hardship, had ended, our forefathers threw down their muskets and took up the axe and the hoe and began to rebuild their sickly nation. The years passed, and our fertile country yielded to the patience and strength of the pioneer: new boundaries were established: future powerful cities sprang up in our new western frontiers : great leaders came and went: and young America took her place among the prominent nations of the earth. Then once more a mighty force threatened to wreak havoc in a peaceful world-1860--The Civil Vwlar. Our nation bound by ties of blood, tradition. and loyalty was torn asunder, friend fighting friend, and brother fighting brother. But out of this chaos a forceful leader arose, and with his quiet God- given ability stilled our nation once more to peace. Freedom: We had fought for it, paid a dear price for it. but we had secured it. And from its possession came a period of tranquillity and growth. We erected a nation to serve as an example for all other freedom-hungry people. But the world was not content, the forces of greed and discontent were again at work. After fifty-four years of comparative peacefulness the world at this time seemed threatened with an impending destruction of civilization. With the help of the United States, peace was again restored, and the country enjoyed a period of carefree prosperity. Did we abuse our liberty? I fear so. Now we are facing times of deeper discouragement than our nation has ever faced before. We are trying to fight an evil force so powerful that we are almost helpless. Liberty throughout the world is threatened. It is for the United States to decide how the tide of battle will turn. Our precious freedom--the freedom for which our ancestors fought so nobly-the freedom that we praise and desire above all else in the world, is being dangerously threatened. VVe must fight, if necessary, to maintain this hard-won liberty, and when times seem difficult, we must remember the words of one of our valiant liberators, Patrick Henry, Give me liberty or give me death.

THE HORSE IN THE MODERN WORLD The horse in this world of automobiles, electricity and mechanical ma- chinery has no chance to make himself a good living. In the olden days he could pull street-cars, carriages and the plow. But now he has to be content with pulling a milk wagon and running in the horse races. He cannot pull carriages again, because there are no more carriages to pull: he cannot pull the street-car because they are operated by electricity: he cannot pull the plow because the tractor does that for him. So he has to be content and join Ferdinand under the cork tree, and smell the flowers, and be careful not to sit on the bee that stung poor Ferdinand. SUSAN SMITH, 1945 I 61 I COLUMBUS SCHOOL for GIRLS LETTERS OF A LODGER 1940-1941 September Zl, 1940 Dear Mama: Please send me some food and my white shoes: the Erst spread, the one we give the new girls, isn't for two weeks yet, and we're simply famished. The new Bryden Hall is such a pleasant change from the old, that it even makes the food taste better. I hope that the new splendor won't have such a pleasant effect on us at meal time that we all get fat. Oh well, what are a few pounds in our young lives? Incidently, don't forget the food, if you please. Your darling daughter, Sadie. October 9, 1940 Dear Sis: The big moment is past, we had our baseball game and picnic with the Academy boys last Saturday. We all had a swell time. Fifty per cent of the girls have new heart-throbs now, but not mel QYou should see him, he's awfully cute.j Next Sunday we're going to Ash Cave for a picnic. The ride down should be beautiful, as the leaves are turning color. If you see any of my friends, please tell them to write to me, 'cause my fan mail is steadily decreasing. Lots of Love, Sadie. December 14, 1940 Dear Daddy: Would you please send me some money? I seem to owe dues for every- thing. I also owe Mrs. Wahn some money, and besides that I have Christmas presents to buy. The Seniors are decorating the Christmas tree, now: even though they break a great many ornaments, the tree always finally looks nice when they've finished. Next Tuesday night, after our Christmas dinner. we'll open our cute gifts, and read the silly poems which go with them. . Please don't forget the check, 'cause I'm desperate!! Your very loving daughter, Lots of kisses. Sadie. xxxxxxxxxxx l62l TOP-KNOT 1941 February 6, 1941 Dear Mama: You have probably received my exam grades by now. I know you won't judge my actual learning by them for, of course, they weren't what I expected either CI guess I just wasn't in the right moody. The Valentine party is next week, so, if you see any cute valentines between now and then, please send them to me, 'cause I may not have time to buy them here. We always have them with our mottoes at our Valentine's Day dinner. There goes the bell for bed, so goodnight- . Your loving daughter, Sadie. April 22, 1941 Dear Sis: Ah mel The Lodge dance is over, and you should hear the sighs that are being sighed around here. I had a marvelous time, and so did all the rest of the girls. My date was darling. Every dance seems to be better than the one before, but I don't see how there could be any others as nice as this one was. The Lodge tea is a week from next Sunday. I do hope that you and Mama can come. Please tell Mama to send my long afternoon dresses before then. Bye and Love, Sadie. May 19, 1941 Dearest Mama: The Lodgers gave a musicale last Saturday night in honor of Doctor Shellabarger's birthday. VVe were all awfully scared, but every one was polite enough to say we did very well. I can hardly believe that it's only seventeen days till Commencement. and only ten days. till I'll be home for a week-end. This year has gone so very quickly that I've hardly had time to realize what a grand year it has been. Your loving daughter, Sadie. MARY JANE GREER, 1942 l 63 1 COLUMBUS SCHOOL for GIRLS A GYPSY DANCE There's a roaring in the treetops And a rustling in the grass, And a pine in frenzied fury, Like a dancing gypsy lass, Sways and tosses her arms In the wild dance whirling. With a rustling, cracking whisper The dry leaves come swirling Like a thousand ruffled skirts. Now the thunder beats the drums And the dance attains its climax as The cymbals lightning flash, then comes A sudden silence--and as the dancers pause The pleased rain p-atters its soft applause MARY ELIZABETH MEEK 1941 YOUTHFUL PLEA When we were very tiny girls, We visioned life ahead VV ith neither care nor irksome strife But full of joy instead. And as we venture further on To achieve our life's desire- We pray that we may never live To see our dreams expire. And when we've travelled down life s road And realized youth's dreams, We hope that life will be as sweet- As in youth's dream it seems! MARJORIE EssEx 1946 In describing the ocean, a pupil of our noble msti tution remarked, What a tremendous serf! l64l TOP-KNOT 1941 C. S. G. KEEPS HER HEAD In this day of foreign wars and our own peacetime conscription, the whole world has been deeply affected and is conscious of the sufferings and plight of all our fellow peoples. Even in the most routine phases of our own lives we are aware of the seriousness of these conditions. At C. S. G. we have tried to do our share in aiding those less fortunate than ourselves by collaborating with the various charities and war relief socie- ties. But throughout our efforts there has been no unusual excitement, panic or unnecessary worry. Our bulletin boards are still posted with interesting clip- pings of current books and plays, and not with the gruesome and rather startling details of the latest outcome of a current battle. Our Chapel lectures have stated the current events as they are, yet without a tone of despair and hopelessness. We, the students of C. S. G., believe we have kept our heads, in this whirl- wind world of today. We study the classics and the masterpieces of the world, without constantly thinking of the ruin and the destruction being caused by the present war. We enjoy work and play knowing that we are united, and free to express our own opinions or to think our own thoughts. Yes. C. S. G. has kept her head . . . as proof, just notice the happy smiles and the jovial laughter which make her halls ring, and which express better than words appreciation for our freedom. SALLY I-IUMPHREYS, 1942 FROM A LIBRARY WINDOW Long ago C The days were young. The sunlight filtered through the trees, Shedding a dry warmth, High winds roamed over gently rolling lawns and far off hills, There was a cleanness in the air-a freshness- Yet the mellowness that ageless culture brings: Lazy days of beauty. Inexpressible! ELLEN BUTLER, 1941 l65I COLUMBUS SCHOOL for GIRLS PARSONS PLACE On a downtown corner There stands a well known gate, Busy crowds when passing by Often pause or hesitate To catch a glimpse of loveliness That dwells beyond that gate. Of purple, fragrant lilac bushes Dispersed here and there, And gold forsythia posed by the walk To catch the eye of the passer-by Who stops and gazes there. A mansion ancient and sedate, Pillars rising high, Spacious halls amid rambling grounds, Banners seen against a sky Of heavenly blue: a fascination, an inspiration Never lost to the passer-by. ANN ATKINSON, 1942 FLATTERY I love you for saying my eyes are like stars. My cheeks are like roses, my teeth shine like Mars, You say that I'm sweet, and as fresh as the dew, And that I will always be loved by you, And I sigh as I watch you walk out of my sight, For I know you will flatter another tonight.

In it were characters from books. My friends and I thought it would be fun to play hide-and-go-seek, because it was spooky. I had to be it, I counted and everybody was hidden. I was scared. but I started to look for my friends. It was dark. All of a sudden, crack! I turned around and saw a suit of armor. Calmly, a voicc said to me, Hello, Marjorie. I am Sir Lancelot. My, was I scared, but I managed to say, I thought you were dead. I was, he replied, but now I have come back to see if I can fight a duel. I haven't had one for a long time, you know. Then I said, My goodness, but you do look funny in that suit of armor. Well, then, I'll get out and show you my real beauty, said Lancelot delightedly. Oh! Don't do that, you might fall apartI , I cried. Ha, ha, ha! Look! I'm just Nancy. I was hiding in the suit of armor and talking to you. And you thought I was Sir Lancelot. Ha, ha! That is funny! Oh well, never mind. Everybody's gotten in free, so we better get back to our game.

Florida is a winter resort to which many people come to see the famous citrus orchards, and Alligator Farms. Too, there are some Seminole Indians left. See Marine Land with the queer kinds of fishes, and go down in a boat and see under water the remains of a very interesting old ship. Then. too, if you wish to go down just for your health, go to Miami and Palm Beach. There you will get your fill of sunshine. St. Augustine is the oldest town and is very interesting, with quaint old buildings more than a hundred years old. And if you wish to be more quiet, go down farther South, down to the Keys. If you would like to go Qand we know you willj please go on the Tamiama Trail. We hope you will visit this lovely state. Yours 'til next election, Commerce.

I beg your pardon, he said and started to walk away. Wait a minute, I cried, Aren't you Roland? You look like him? I am, he replied. Have you met me before? Yes, I read the book about you. Are your friends, Charlemagne or Oliver, still living? Yes they are, he answered. Where do you live? I asked. I live in Paris, France, in an apartment house. My, things surely have changed since my youth! We didn't have automobiles or dress like you do. If you live in France how does it happen you are over here? I came over here to fight the Indians, but I'm a little late. Well, good day. I have too catch my boat to France. i MARTHA WILLCOX, Form VI A SPRING SCENE At this time of year I think our yard is prettiest. The grass is a fresh light green. At the bend of the drive is a low border of dwarf purple iris, beyond that is a bank of jonquils and narcissus with their fragrant smell of perfume now in full bloom. For a background there are beautiful beech trees with their bluish-grey trunks.
