Turple Ta tclzes world remote from all material things. Should anyone spoken to me I should not hear him. Again the melody of the first movement rings out. I hear the last note, but sit as in a dream. I am not aware that the music has stopped and eagerly wait in the hope of hearing more. There is to be no more, I awake from my dream. I am crying! I JANE PENDLETON. Alumnae DEAR OLD GIRLS: g We are planning an Alumnae house-party at the school for the week-end of April 22. The Alumnae agreed last year that they could have a better time at Harcum if they could meet there during the session rather than at Commencement when all attention has to be focused on the senior class and their activities. I have always felt at Commencement that it was difficult to see as much of the old girls as I wanted to and I am delighted that we are to have the week-end together in April. Most of the new girls of the school are going off for that week- end'and will give up their places so that when you come back you will be a real Harcum girl again. It will be nice to hear your voices in the halls -nicer than it used to be when we had to 'fcall you down. VVe are planning a party for Friday night at the school, a luncheon at the tea-room run by Elsie Millar QHarcum ,QU and Helen Evans CI-Iarcum ,21D, with a matinee at the Seville Theatre-Bryn Mawr's latest acquisition-and a tea given by the College Club in honor of the college girls. Saturday evening we are having a theatre party in town, all going in together in a bus. Sunday afternoon, after all of you have gone to hear Dr. Mutch, we will have an Alumnae musicale with buffet supper afterwards. I am hoping to have many of the old girls playing andasinging: Aileen Jones, '4Sling,,' Emma Ivey, Eleanor Clark, Maisie Chance, Dolores Jones, Celeste Shadburn, Isabel Rudd, Sarah Horner, Virginia Straley, Elinor Reed and other musical stars. I am going to try to make you as comfortable as possible and I hope you will write your special friends and ask them to meet you here. I know we are going to have a good time and you can count on a warm welcome from me. Hoping to see many of you in April, Afectionately yours, EDITH HATCHER HARCUM, Head of the School. 26
