Editorial The Alumnae Reunion NTHUSIASBI and preparations unparalleled in the history of Harcum School marked the return of our Alumnae. Unlike former years when the Alumnae returned during Commencement and failed to be given the school's undivided attention, the week-end of April twenty-second was set aside this year as the most important on the school calendar-when the Alumnae were warmly received upon their launching a new and progressive project. The Alumnae luncheon was the festive occasion of the Week-end. It was given at the Chatter-On Tea House, conducted by Elsie Millar, Class of i21. At their respective tables were seated twenty representa- tives of five different classes-the Class of i20 with the minimum rep- resentation of two, and the Class of '26 having the maximum number of ten, or three-fourths of the entire class. Mrs. Harcum spoke very enthusiastically about the new plan of establishing Alumnae Week-end in April as an annual occasion, and she predicted success following the efforts of the Alumnae to advance the interests of Harcum School. It is especially the desire of the school to eliminate publicity through advertising, as soon as possible, and to have our enrollment consist only of girls who are recommended by the Alumnae. The members of the Senior Class, hostesses at the luncheon, shared the eagerness of the Alumnae to help Harcum in every possible way, even to effecting a gathering of the old Harcum girls in the vicinity of their homes, and spreading the Harcum spirit. The suggestion was made that the Harcum girls select a certain place in New York where it would be possible at almost any time to see some of the Alumnae who happen to be in the city. Elinor Reed, President of the Association, acted upon the suggestion andit was finally decided that on the first Saturday of every month not only all of the Alumnae who happen to be in New York at the time, but those who live within a convenient dis- tance should make a special effort to have luncheon between one and two o'clock at the Alice McDougall Tea Room in Forty-seventh Street. This should be a delightful incentive to every Harcum Alumna to meet her old acquaintances and to stimulate her interest in the progress of the school. 3

Turple Tatches Janet May Seed, ,26, was unanimously elected Secretary of the Alumnae Association, succeeding Lucille Johnson. Finally, several members gave various suggestions for the ways in which the Alumnae can prove to be an active force in benefiting Harcum, but the point especially stressed was that of making Alumnae Week-end a greater success in the years to come, and making the Alumnae a more vital help to the school. After the luncheon we went to the new Seville Theatre in Bryn Mawr, and then a most charming afternoon was concluded by a Tea given in honor of the Alumnae by the members of the College Club.

Travel G1-331 Ulfzlght The road unwinds, a curving strip Of darkened silver thru grotesque Shadows and strange, fantastic forms Of overarching branches, trees Loom suddenly on either side, Tall Sentinels of highway life g The moon makes meadows bands of pale Gray-green and blobs of inky black, Farmhouses sunk in deep content Nestle beside their awkward barns, The cattle, queer, distorted shapes, Like great white canvas bags of stones, Lie huddled under squatty trees, And huge work horses slowly swish Thick tails and stamp broad, ponderous hoofs, Dreaming beside the water trough 3 A rooster, risen all too soon, Crows raspingly into the night, And from the sedge-grass of a marsh Comes the chug-chug-chugv of drowsy frogsg The cool breath of a wandering wind Carries the scent of new-mown hay Filed in gigantic stacks, the fruit Of one dayis labor in the fields, And still the road unwinds, as we Skim purringly its silver track. s PATTY Woon, '26. 4
