N a Country Day School where so many of a girls waking hours are spent, it is inevitable that one particular room grows to be the heart of the schooli In the minds of some of us it may be the assembly, where we meet for service, plays, lectures, music; of others perhaps, the class room of a favorite subject, the gymnasium where a certain game was won; or the place where teachers and girls share their common living day after day. I think that Mrs. David B. Gambie had this laSt idea in mind, as the center of a Country Day School, when she offered to give the dining room wing to Hillsdale School. It is there that a very real part of our community living goes on, from our simple grace, spoken by teachers and girls together, to the Class singing and speeches that make the walls ring with enthusiasm and good feeling. The dining room with its cheery fireplace is growing to be more like iiThe Commons of old English colleges. It is there that the younger girls serve, that the mothers come to help, that Seniors assist in the condudt of the tables, that Stewards plan sittings, and that guests are greeted as luncheon speakers and are taken into the school family by singing and applause. A rousing welcome is given to the old girls who come back here to tell us of their new adventures. How charadteristic that this room should be given by Mrs. Gamble, who cared so much for the friendly living that must be the basis of school loyalty and successful work. She loved to walk softly down the corridors during the school day, slipping gently into a class for a few moments, sitting at a study desk, a Library table, watching the sports through the glass door. She became a genuine part of the school through such quiet participation that girls involuntarily smiled at her in the halls and never thought of her as a visitor in the class rooms. No charter member can forget the day when she was our first guest in the dining room and told us, with her kindly humor, of the unexpecfted great applause she received in China, when she addressed girls there, saying, iiI have no daughters, only three sons. We hope that we made her feel at that time, that she had seventy daughters, as each girl, filing by in a long procession, took her hand in gratitude and love As the years go on, how the numbers of daughters will increasevnot only that first seventy, but many, many more children iishall rise up to call her blessed!
