i is:r'7'rir5Qef N ll ll li t Each year as Thanksgiving approaches, a special kind of activity preoccupies the girls at Dominican. Class meetings become more numerousg recreation periods find girls marking prices on various articlesg class artists spend their time and talent making decorationsg class officers organize lists of salesgirls. Yes, the annual charity bazaar preparations are under way! The bazaar itself begins at noon and closes about five. In this short time the students and many of their parents do their Christmas shopping from booth to booth. At the Freshmen HCircus Circle one might buy a colored Panda Bear, a Raggedy Ann and Andy, or some unusual mechanical toy. The beautifully handmade rosaries at the Sophomore booth always attract attention and buyers. The bazaar shoppers are never too busy to overlook the Juniors' array of delicious temptations! All diets are forgotten on that day. To mention the Senior booth is to mention the treasure chest of surprises, for they display everything else imaginable not found at the other three booths. A ' The day passes quickly, but many times throughout the year, letters of gratitude from some orphanage or unfortunate group whom our bazaar has benefitted tell us that somewhere, because of our efforts, there are happy hearts and faces.

E lllll lllllllllt Among its many horse lovers, Dominican numbers some of the most- zealous horsewomen in the State of California. Nancy Alden, who won the State Championship in western equitation last fall, brought new enthusiasm to the already lively and active Riding Club. When the above picture was taken, Darlene Haberman was appearing in San Francisco at the Northern California Horse Show where she placed second among many senior competitors. Last fall Darlene brought home several blue ribbons from the Grand National Exposition. The example and enthusiasm of Nancy and Darlene have encouraged such senior riders as Barbara, Joan, Louise, and Eula to prepare for Dominican's spring gymkhana in Forest Meadows. Riding is lone of the,all-year sports at Dominican. From the youngest rider in the Lower School to the most experienced'senio1i'Upper School rider, the beauty of the Marin countryside is an added incentive to 'Ltake up the trailsu afforded by the Marin Stables. The young riders 1'ide,,,not.only for the sheer delight of riding, but also with the hope of winning ribbons for the Roundheadsior Cavaliers in the Spring Horse Show-an event which often determines the Winner of the silver interclub athletic cup. Therefore, the motto of all these girls is ul-leads up and heels down. Rosy Strachwitz '51
