lass f?Hstor Alice giggled Cone never laughs on the Queen's Croquet Groundl. The poor king would never make first string on anyone's croquet team! She swooped up the paint- smeared flamingo from his favorite spot on the rosebush tree, and, with the grace of a modern dancing pupil, leaped over the furrows to tap her hedgehog into a ball. Watch me now, King. There's a defi- nite technique to hitting Hedgie. Crook- ing her right elbow, and taking a firm grip at the base of Mingo's long neck, she exe- cuted a beautiful swing centered on Hedgie himself. But the swing never completed its arc, for Mingo, bending his neck to look up at Alice, winked! Hedgie unrolled himself to find Alice laughing helplessly, and, wiggling his whiskers, he ambled off to a friend two furrows down. Oh! moaned Alice, maybe Hedgie would have preferred beat ball! Beat ball? queried the King in his best befogged manner Cconfidentially he didn't do too well in his scholastic aptitude? . Why, yes, replied Alice, tickling the fiamingo. From the first day We trudged under the motto 'Let thy life be sincere,' with our pretty report cards clutched proudly in one fist, our Mother's hand in the other for assurance we were saved from mental exhaustion only by the intricacies of beat ball. The pigeons vacated the raft- ers that year, and even the windows quavered when Ann Hennessey, she of the 'powerful shoulders,' stepped to the plate. The sixth class was wonderfully hectic -, Alice stopped for a moment to view the chaotic condition of the garden, and reconsidered her choice of adjective. Well, it passed in a faster tempo than any previous year of our lives, and we loved every minute of it in a begrudging sort of way. How many trips we made to the matron for pencils, half boxes of Cheez-its, pens, handkerchiefs, and lunch boxes all left at various points in our daily trek through the building. And how many times we elbowed, pushed, and shoved to get a table in the primp room for lunch! We had green settees then, the color of the March Hare's hat, and they invariably lost a leg or a back rest when Lindsay threw I 30 her daily orange at Barbara above the heads of the vociferous mob. We had grand science periods, too, King dear, ' continued Alice, in which Miss Bradley would list the attributes of pudding stone and B. L. S. students with equal fluency. She's married now, you she will have as many have, she added, sur- ten frolicking children, she. The King puffed know, and I hope little ones as you veying the King's and all as nice as up considerably and was ready to speak on the joys of parenthood when Alice con- tinued. And that besmudged area on the ceil- ing near Miss Armstrong's office is due to the united efforts of the members of the sixth class tumbling act. We wrote our names in the dust of the ceiling during our first gym meet. Was Miss Armstrong en- raged! Roberta Navisky and I spent one wicked afternoon scrubbing that part of the ceiling -- it's been whiter than the rest ever since! I This suddenly reminded Alice of the red rosebush with its one white bud which the gardners had missed in their hurry, and she laughed outright, much to the consternation of the King, who looked hastily about for his solemn queen. But, she hastily continued, by May a few facts had sifted through the battered craniums of the courageous survivors: anti- penults were vaguely connected with long syllables and Latin stressg Northeast stair- ways were used by ascending students and descending faculty, the Northwest, vice versa, silent passing periods meant that Susie couldn't reveal the answer to the fifth example until out of Miss Murphy's. ear- shot 3 and warnings were little cards that prevented you from gazing soulfully at the back of Joe's head on the two-fifteen car. Lucy Manuelian and I gave a master- ful rendition of Chinkie Chinaman to 6D - you should have seen Lucy with her feet propped up on Miss L.undell's desk. The heelmarks never did come off. Then I continued my acting career by playing Midshipmate in the school operetta 'All At Sea' given at the B. L. S. Auditorium. The operetta was a financial success because of l
