Turpte Tatcbes urrertt Events BETTY Davis October 5. Another beginning with its brave smiles and its shouts of welcome. Hail to Harcum and the new girls! October 6. Wherein new girls blunder into the wrong classroom, clutching shiny books and unsharpened pencils. We see them beard their teachers with buoyant steps, only to creep from those dens with terror in their eyes. Oh, we never had anything like this last yearf, I didn't have an idea what she was talking aboutf, We hardened ancients slap them on their backs and tell them all In a week you'll probably be the star of the classf, October 7. Individuals begin to take shape in the fog that is The New Girls. We cruel ones begin the initiations and most heartily recommend India Newton to Pavlowa. October 8. And more initiations! Elinor Davy is a jolly puppy who might easily, with her convincing begging, win all our spare bones. October 9. The Opry House and its rcd plush is dusted to receive the Fash- ion Show from New Yorkf, Betty Ann Kunzman, in her black satin pajamas, pleasingly shocked us Iowan Natives, and received the grand prize. October 10. Oh Blessed Sunday g when we can flaunt our laziness in the eyes of the world and sleep till eight o'clock. We were happy to have Dr. Gurly preach our first vespers. October 11. You know, it doesnit seem so bad this weekf, She's awfully temperamental, but Iim getting used to her! October 15. George Boyle played for us tonight. Even though some of us didnit know his technique from his time we adored his playing and hope he will come again this year. October 20. Our principal is back!! We hope she is feeling quite Well and will find us all as good as goldf' October 30. Could it have been the gym, that grotto of ghosts and cornstalks, 15

Turple Taztches pumpkins and leering cats? Wherever it was all We witches and gypsies, turks and devils made merry there tonight. The most mysterious of us all, an unknown pirate, got for his loot a chocolate fudge cake and was therefore well repaid for heeding our irresistible summons and wander- ing away from his Spanish Main and pieces of eight. November QI. This afternoon we had a most informal and cozy musicale which was followed by a buffet supper. This was our first Sunday afternoon musicale and we liked it. November 22. Knock-Bang- Camel! li' Let ,go of melv Block that doorli' 'cWhere is it? There she goes! Out by the tennis courtsli' Get 'em! - Oh, my dear, was I frightened-why, they showed the thing right in front of my nose!,' Do they do this often? Was it the Camel or the 0wl?,, Did you ever hear such a knock?,'- And thus, the camel was shown and immediately whisked back to his oasis where he now browzes in secure contentment. November 25. Solitude and peace reigned here this Thanksgiving Day while we went out in search of Turkey and amusement. Most of us, however, wisely returned in the evening to enjoy the most perfect Thanksgiving dinner conceivable, for which we thank Mrs. Waples and drink her down, down, down. November 26. We brave left-behinds gather in the hall and heartily tell the lucky fifty per cent of school who are leaving for the week-end, i'Have a wonderful time-I know it'll be perfect-remember me to Dick and bring back some food! Tecember 10. Examinations! But do we care? Seven more days till vacation- then we go to the station-l' 6December 13. More examinations and- What are you going to wear home? 6December 16. Turkey, fluffy dresses, hot rolls, corsages, candle light, plum pudding, songs, lovely table decorations, hilarity-Oh, it,s the Christmas dinner and tomorrow we go home. fDecember 17. The grey light of dawn saw many of us packing our toothbrushes and locking our bags with a final snap-'6Are you making the seven- eight?', So,m I. I didnit sleep a Wink last night. '6Heavens! Where are my tickets?', '6Do you get home tonight? 'Bye-I'll try to think of you often-but-i' And again Harcum's halls are steeped in silence. 16
