Curiously enough we of this scientific, materialistic. almost self-sufiicient Twentieth Century love that mystic word HVision, and delight to trace back to it our accomplishments in bricks and mortar and out tangible evidences of speed and power. It was the vision of that band of men and women Who, just three years ago, June 6th, 1927, turned the first sod for Hillsdale, built a schoolhouse for girls they had not seen, erie gaged a staff of teachers to come to something that did not exist, and thus by opening a Country Day School for Girls that should prepare for College along progressive lines, turned a new page in the educational history of Cincinnati. Now at the end of three years, when the schooi house is full of girls, learning that college and life are based on self reliance and self control. when in ten colleges there Will be. next September, representatives of our thirty-four graduates, when the staff is loyal to the ideals of its founders, we wish to dedicate our third Annual to those Who believed in us be- fore they saw us. who aimed at a type Of education that should not i'perishf'ithose clear- eyed visionaries-eOUR TRUSTEES, M.

INt-n-w A Editorials E LIVE in an age of modernism. an age of great mechanical and scientific inventions, an age which would have startled even our immediate ancestors. However. of all the strides which have recently been made in progress, aviation is probably the greatest and has certainly attracted the most attention in the world today. For it is not only the most astound- ing and interesting of our modern inventions, but it is really the symbol of all progress, the steady rising of man higher and higher in eagerness to overcome and understand the unknown. As aviation is an expression of advancement in the life of today, Hillsdale is also an example of the same modernism in progress. It has been founded on new ideas and principles in education which aid it in soaring into the clearer, unexplored regions above. And like the aeroplane Hillsdale has its idealists who made their dreams, facts: and it has had a faithful and clear-sighted pilot who, with courage and a desire to make her plane rise high into the sky. has steered it safely past the treacherous low-lying clouds of despair and pessimism. Hence the theme of this Annual is aviation, endeavoring to impress all with the reali- zation that we are living in an age which is moving ever onward and upward, in an atmos- phere which helps man to understand the greatness of his brothers who have carried us this far. W'e follow, not the chirp of the cricket, but the note of the eagle. M. J.J. An aeroplane moved slowly over the green of the field and then rose lightly and easily into the air. The spectators watched it with great interest, some with a dubious feeling as to the success of the flight, others conhdent that it would not fails The plane climbed steadily until it reached unbelievable heights and then surely and carefully continued in its flight. At times it was obscured by dark clouds but inevitably it appeared again. Have you ever compared our school to this aeroplane? We started from the ground but we have risen surely and steadily to great heights. Many were openly skeptical as to the success of our school and it is only with the help and confldence of true friends that we have at- tained at high altitude. Like the aeroplane We have weathered many clouds and storms but have come through to clear skies again, unshaken and safe. We have risen from above the clouds. but it is for us to keep our high altitude and re- main undaunted by storms and winds. With skilled and trusty pilots at the stick we must continue unwaveringly in our flight. C. V 1-1. Page 5 e we r: MISS MIRIAM TITCOMB, B. L.

Our pride rests in our school, and our spirit in our one and only, Miss Titcomb. We express sincere respect for the Seniors, for our sister class has offered us good advice and cheered us on to a higher standard throughout each successfully spent year at Hillsdale. Those of us who are already looking forward to our Senior year, have the ambition to live up to the reputation that our sister class has set.

Our sports have been successful With the lower school. Self control may be our drawback, But good sportsmanship's our rule. And then the demonstration Was our big success.

Page Twenfy-et'ght Twenty Years After T WAS the year 1950 A. D. that Grandma White Mouse re-entered her dear Hillsdale School, after twenty years of absence. With her many grandchildren clustered around her. she smiled and wept in turn as she looked around the good old lab, now so changed. Voices broke in upon her thoughts, some of them sounding aimost familiar-. Miss Wallace. where's the sodium chloride? Oh, Marjy, let's go see the monkey. Come on. HIsobel, will you please hurry with the nitric acid. Oh I knew you'd spill it on your hands. HMy goodness, Isobel, tin the voice of Miss Wallacey Hyou're just like your mother used to be. I can remember when Marjorie Thuma got nitric acid on her hands doing this very experiment. You and your sister Marj are the worst girls in this class. t'Oh, for the good old days, thought Grannie. Come, Grannie, cried Iittle Agatha White Mouse, and I'll show you through the test of the science wingf' As the two started out they approached the terrarium, a large glassed-in area with rolling hills of exquisite, rich dirt. and an occasional cactus plant, and one or two branchy trees, in one of which sat a placid-looking little monkey, eating a banana. Aggie informed Grandma that this was the experimental monkey. The poor monkey's mind, body and morals were tested by the different classes. Even then, one class had placed the banana on a string out of his reach. Then they had put a box nearby, to see if the monkey had enough intellect to step on the box in order to reach the fruit. Yes this was a bright monkey, but Grandma now noticed the infinitely sad look in his eyes, She remembered one week, years ago, when she had been put on a diet Without vitaminseas an experiment meteiyeand all her fur had grown thin. She sympathized With the monkey, certainly. She noticed a sign just beside her, Wthh said: WHIFFAPOOKUS GEDUNKUS One of the rarest of the snake family. Donated and provided for in 1935 by MARY JANE MOESER. But she saw no snake. Aggie explained that it had a habit of leaving the glassed-in area by unknown means and wandering off. It was always found clinging to window shades, be- hind a radiator, or some such place. It never left the Science Wing, which it considered the extent of its playground. Page T'wanty-ninc But what's this? exclaimed Grannie, Hcertainly not dear old Janie, the horned toad. Yes. answered Aggie che same Janie that belonged to Dorothy Hussey when you were young. Do you remember Dorothy Hussey, Grannie? Certainly, certainly, murmured Grannies 'W'hy Janie must be nearly as old as 1. Hello. dear Jane. she said smiling, her whiskers quivering with excitement. A wan smile appeared, and then was gone. She was very old. Grannie wiped a tear away with her pink tail as they went on. She and Aggie proceeded more quickly, for Aggie explained that at three olclock there was to be a great occurrence. Elizabeth Gamble, now married. had invented a new kind of parachute which she had been working on for years. much to the neglect of her husband and children. In fact, it was provided with a small reading lamp and book shelf lithe reading lamp for use on dark, cloudy daysy, so that one could read on the way down. This very afternoon it was to be tested by Elizabeth's eldest daughter. young Margaret. Aggie went on to say that the aeroplane to be used was the one built by the Chemistry Class of 1930, in which they made their round-the-world flight. Mary Jane Johnson had taken it over lately to use in her Trans-Atlantic hops. Grandma hurried on, stopping only a moment to gaze at the beautiful. opalescent dia- monds on display, which had been made in Caroline Stilwell's diamond furnace, which she had invented and donated to the school. Then Grandma White Mouse heard a buzz of voices. Through a door, and there they Were in the midst of the great crowd of girls, alumnae. and teachers, who were all ready to see the trial jump. She recognized many faces and gazed up into them, chattering as loudly as she could, hoping to be recognized. But in vain. At last Miss Wallace arrived with her class and all was in readiness. Qrannie followed close on Miss Wallace's heels. All of a sudden she seemed to recognize Granme, for she picked her up and held her: HDear Miss Wallace. thought Grandma, a little grey-haired, but as nice as ever? Now the crowd began to quiett All eyes looked toward young Margaret, with her parachute on her back. as she entered the plane. As Mary Jane Johnson was to pilot the plane, she stepped in and they started off. Leaving the ground the plane circled around and around. up and up, until it could scarcely be seen. Then, suddenly, a little light appeared way up in the sky, tthe reading lamp, of courseJ Slowly the big parachute could be discerned. with Margaret swinging in the air below, intent on her book Nearer the earth she came and thenwbump! bangfw she lit 0n the ground, but immeditcly jumped up, held the book high and cried out triumph- antly, l'Iive hnished my Chemistry lesson for tomorrow! Then a bell rangw Grandma woke up with a start to hnd herself back in 1930, and Elizabeth Gamble repeating that she had nnished her chemistry lesson. BETTY BALDWIN, '30. THE END.

EXHAUSTED GRAY MATTER Page Thfrry-two A Modern Game LOWER SCHOOL PRIZE STORY ANE was only live, but her imagination completely outsized her years She had always played unusual games, but this one was the strangest. First she took an old, rather moth-eaten stuffed lion. Then, running downstairs. she carefully selected a lily from the vase in the living room. What next? She looked around thoughtfully, then ran out into the yard. Although it was raining hard, Jane ran dauntlessly to where the wistaria grew. She plucked some and hurried back to the house. Once inside she rushed to the pantry, where she found a jar of olives. After some difficulty she secured one. With this motley collection. Jane re turned to her bedroom. There was just one thing she lacked. The little girl hugged her knees up to her chest and rocked back and forth on the floor She always did this when she was thinking hard. Then she had an idea. It was daring perhaps. but Jane didn't stop to think of that. She rushed downstairs again. This time she entered her father's little den. Far above Jane's reach, atop a high bookcase, was perched a magnificent stuffed eagle. The child dragged a chair over to the bookcase and scrambled upon it Much out of breath she finally reached the eagle. When she was in her room again. the little girl arranged her odd collection around a table she had taken from her doll house. Then she began to play HI vote that we have no more ships. boomed the lion in a great deep voice. I say so, too, replied the eagle. whose voice sounded a great deal like the lion's. The olive broke in eagerly, UYes, let's not have ships. The wistaria duly agreed, but the 1in said. HIt will be all right not to have ships, but I have things to look after at home. H-m-m, said the lion, shaking his head. .lI-I-m-m, said the olive and wistaria simultaneously. Well, let's end the meeting for today. decided the eagle. HYou know meetings like this last for a long time, more than one day. Then everything'had to shake hands with everything else, and although the eagle had to lie on his back while performing this ceremony and the olive didn't even have a stem to serve as an arm, the hand-shaking was quite a success, When this was done, Jane looked up to find her mother watching her.

With her greatly developed muscular arm she threw the discus 100 yards. Miss Hussey had with her her aged pet, Janie. the horned toad. which she believes brings her luck. The archery contest was won by Miss Anna Belle OiBrien with the astonishing record of 24 out of 25 arrows in the bulis-eye.

The Garlands Hotel UPPER SCHOOL PRIZE ESSAY ITUATED at the end of Squlk Street, the Garland's Hotel has looked out on this quiet backwater of life for one hundred and fifty years. The quiet air of seclusion in a street which is in the crowded theater district of a metropolis can only be obtained in Lon- don. The street runs into the Pall Mall. Where a steady stream of trafhc goes on continually. Double-decker buses with glaring posters, pass almost every minute. Year after year, Suffolk Street has looked on, but has taken no active part in this turmoil. I remember one particular of our stay at this hotel in London. It was early in June and we were returning home from the theater about eleven o'clock. We had forgotten our key. which We were supposed to take when coming back late at night. After insistent ringing on the hell and a long wait; we heard the bolts drawn back and a heavy chain unfastened with a jang- ling noise. The sleepy porter stuck his head out of the door. and recognizing us in the moon- light. let us in. The hall was dimly lit by a single gas jet, and a musty smell came from the aged care pets. On a shelf at one side were about a dozen brightly polished silver candleholders. Each of us taking one. we lit the candles from the gas jet. and mounted slowly up the dark, winding staircase to our apartments on the second floor. There was a lamp burning on the landing, where Turvy, the butler, was clearing away the remains of our dinner. We always ate at seven- thirty, but Turvy never seemed to clear it away before eleven. As he was rather portly, it took him some time to get up and down stairs, so that out food was usually quite cooled off by the time it was served. He had asthma tpoor thingi I have it myselfy and spent his whole time wheezing around the place. When we first came he told that we could remember his name by HTopsy-Turvy. And so Mother always got it mixed up and insisted on calling him Topsy, much to the poor man's bewilderment. But the landing is drafty and we have stayed too long with Turvy, that interesting phenomenon. The apartment was dark when we entered. except for the Hickering shadows of a coal fire and the moonlight streaming in the French window. A large sitting room was revealed with wonderful old furniture, whose polished wood gleamed in the firelight. On one Side was a massive lacquered cabinet filled With rare, odd pieces of china. In the center was a Sheraton table, its graceful lines in odd contrast with the heavy lacquer cabinet, In front of this was a long divan covered with cretonne. but underneath was a rich, red damask, now worn, but telling of past glory. Odd chairs and tables composed the rest of the furniture, but each was unique and priceless in itself. A gold and marble clock. in the shape of the Arc de Triomphe, stood on the mantel. There were clocks similar to this in every apartment in the hotel. and an old man came every day for the sole purpose of winding them. Over the manw telpiece, and on the wall opposite, hung a large, oblong mirror with a richly carved, gilt frame, and from the ceiling hung a crystal chandelier. In the adjoining bedroom was an old set of mahogany and over the big four-poster bed was a canopy of rose-colored Chintz. As there was no room for me in the apartment, I must needs go up the stairs to a tiny bedroom on the fourth fioor, Taking my candle again I started up the two long flights of dark stairs. My candle fiickered faintly, and my shadow on the wall was as of some spectral ghost. The ancient stairs creaked beneath me and I thought of the people, now dead, who had climbed those stairs before me, making eerie shadows on the wall. Behind me and before me was black darkness, my candle only making a dim circle of light. Page Thirty-nine But at last I reached the top, very much out of breath. With a sigh of relief I closed the door of my room and made my way over to the open window. A warm breeze gently soothed me as I stood drinking in the sight before me. I was higher up now than the buildings around me and I could see abroad over the fiat, smoky roofs. To the left was Nelson's monument, towering high, a landmark for Trafalgar Square. The Strand, an outlet of the Square was ablaze with many lights. The clump of trees and the spire reaching above it in the middle of the street I knew to be St.-Mary,s-in-the-Strand. All along the Mall I could see the upper stories of the traditional Englishmen's clubs. Down in the street below me I saw a taxi draw up to the door, heard the click of the meter in the stillness of the night, heard the clink of money and the cab driver's thank y' sir, and then, the cab going off down the street. The stage door of the Haymarket Theatre was on Suffolk Street and was only a few doors away from the hotel. It was the opening night of The First Mrs. Frazer, and a small crowd was gathering at the door, A few of the lesser actors came out one after another with little excitement shown by the crowd. Minutes passed, but finally Marie Tempest and Henry Ainley, thz leading characters, came out together. The crowd pressed around them, begging for autographs. They both graciously signed the cards thrust toward them and then stepped into a waiting limousine. The chauffeur closed the door and the car drove off. The crowd dispersed gradually, the main attraction gone. And now, the street is empty. Big Ben is striking twelve, and 1 am getting sleepy, but I linger at the window reveling in a sight never to be forgotten: the thousands of lights in the streets, and the thousands of stars in the sky, the many roofs before me and down in the street the sound of a late pedestrian's hurried footsteps echoing in the London night.

' l ' e - 7 Page Fofty-er'ght Freshman Trial After an awful month of toil The Freshy trial drew near. The Seniors with their haughty mien Filled us With fright and fear. They filed us up into a line And pulled our lovely locks: They dragged us. kicked us, pulled and pushed, And gave us many socks, When suddenly the hell did ring, And to the gym we marchede We quaked with fear from head to foot, Our throats were dry and parched. Upon the stage the Seniors sat, The judge was old and greye The jury without justice judged, We knew 'twas our last day. They called us to them. one by one, And fed us slimy worms, Which seemed to Wiggle as they slid Way down to our interns. To each they gaVe a fearful task Of standing on our head. And when in that position we Were fed one slice of bread ' One had to push a tiny cent Across the dirty floor: One sweet girl's face they smeared with goo. The face was seen no more. Each one, if she would not obey, Or even is she would, Was sent into the chopping house, Escape she never could. Outside the waiting prisoners Could hear her ghastly cries, At last, when she came limping out, They saw her blackened eyes. And then the helpful hell did ring. The Freshman trial Was done: And after all, well all admit That it was lots of fun Sophomore Play N Tuesday, December 17th, the Sophomores presented before the school and members of the Children's Home, The Boy Who Found the Kingf' a short story of a page who found his lost king. The scenery and costumes were very effective, and the Sophomores used particularly well their talent and ability of acting, which greatly added to the success of the play. Adele Emerson as the page, held our admiration through the entire play, Mary O'Brien portrayed excellently the good and noble character of the lost king, and Ann Kirk- patrick was splendid in the role of the stern duke. The play, besides being enjoyed by the school, received much applause from parents and friends. Page Fortyvm'ne Christmas Pageant THE entire school took part in the colorful Christmas Pageant given this year. It was a pageant wholly of singing and the effect was beautiful. reaching our standards of former years, if not surpassing them. The school represented populace of the period of Christ's birth. minstrels, who led the singing. adoring children, crusaders. shepherds. and angels. The three kings, the Holy Family, and the Angel Gabriel also figured in the performance with solo parts. The scene was the one of the birth of the Christ Child in the stable, angels and worshipping kings and shepherds surrounding Him and His parents, singing praises to His name. The costuming added much to the atmosphere of reverence and beauty and those who trained us for the pageant were just as proud of us as we Were of them. Hill Manor Tea Dance N Friday afternoon. February fourteenth, Hill Manor gave a tea dance for the Senior Class. The rug and most of the furniture had been removed from the living room and gay chairs had been brought down from the girls' rooms. Bright school and college banners decorated the walls and the doorway and mantle were framed in red paper hearts. Miss Tit- comh. Miss Drury, Miss Lindsey and Mrs. Clyde Johnson acted as patronesses and the five charming hostesses from Hill Manor wore shoulder corsages which blended with their color- ful frocks. In one corner of the living room a lively orchestra. furnished by Mrs. Johnson, played the very latest jazz. After two hours of dancing, delicious tea was served in the dining room. Then for another hour the guests enjoyed themselves to the utmost and at seven o'clock reluctantly departed. French Night N the evening of Friday, February 28th, Mlle. Mauduit's department presented a pro- gram of French songs, plays and poemst The songs were: 'lDors Mon Gars, the interpre- tation by Bettysue Frank of a French mother singing to her baby: iiDites-Moi Qui Vous a Donne. cleverly depicted by the Sevens: and HAvec Mes Sabots, an amusing peasant song enacted and sung by Marjorie Thuma. Various groups from Class 9 gave scenes from HLa Poudre Aux Yeux, a comedy of the French bourgeois, which served not only to amuse, but to prepare us for the highly entertaining skit, HRosalie, which came later, and in which the parts were extremely well taken by members of Class 11. Betty Jane Shroder recited L'IEn- fant et Le Chat ; Carol Bettman, HLa Poule ; Jean Luberger, HDormez ; and Betty Bald- win, a charmingly rythmic composition, .165 Elfes. The singing of the HMarseillaise by the school came as an excellent finale to an eveningfor which we offer thanks and congratue lations to Mllei Mauduit, Miss Smith and their classes. Page Fifty Gym Demonstration N March twelfth, the gym was filled to capacity with the parents and friends of the school. expectantly awaiting the annual gym demonstration. This great event opened With a grand match by the whole school, followed by a competition between the Upper and Lower Schools in clogging, country dancing. gymnastics and tumbling. The clog Reuben and Rachel. done in costume by the Upper School, seemed to be the main attraction, judging by the great applause. At the close of the performance the whole school formed an HH. S. and joined in singing the school song. In conclusion. the judges proclaimed the Lower School to be the victors. Romeo and Juliet N Thursday. March thirteenth. the Juniors presented twelve scenes from Shakespeare's tragedy, Romeo and Juliet. Although one may think that Shakespeare's plays re- quire too much elaborate and ditTicuIt scenery, the Juniors portrayed their idea of the romantic balcony scene and tragic death scenes with great success. Juliet's death scene was probably the most effective of these. The couch was draped in black and a candelabra containing three lighted candles was placed at both head and foot of the bed, furnishing the only light on the stage. One of the unusual features of the play was the fact that the Juniors could interpret the mean- ing of Shakespeare's lines as understandingly as they did. Under Miss Cutler's able direction the cast Was able to create all of the illusions so vividly that even the youngest of the audience was moved by them. Senior Play According to the traditions of the histtionic Class of 1930, its members gave their year- ly play With unprecedented successw In their production of A. A. Milne's HRomantic Age. they gave the most polished performance in the school's history, both because of their practice in former years and the splendid supervision of Miss Cutler. Every member of the cast was outstanding in the portrayal of the various roles, from Betty Wohlgemuth's conception of the maid to that of the heroine, done by Emily Hawley. The settings of the play were under the direction of Janet Ross. It was through her tireless work that the background and atmosv phere were created, Which so aided the cast in interpreting their parts.

Every girl in the school was assigned to a team, and so, had an opportunity of showing her skill in the game. A tournament was begun, which unfortun- ately could not be completed because of unfavorable weather. We hope, however, that it can be continued this Spring With all the interest and enthusiasm shown before Page Fifty-ninc ! Hockey EAMS, green and gold pinnies. line weather and a good field made this one of our favor ite sports during the past year. Hockey provides plenty of action and a chance for Hills- dale girls to show what real team work is. Two games were held last Fall. The first, Juniors vs. Seniors, ending with a score of 0-2. The second was the Junior-Sophomore game which was won by the Sophomores with a score of 271. May the classes to be uphold the spirit of good sportsmanship which the hockey girls have shown this year. - Page StL-wy Archery S soon as we are sure that spring is here to stay and warm weather permits us to be out of doors, unhampered by coats and sweatersi another sport appears at Hillsdale. Out come bows and arrows, and the girls twang away at the target, until the Spring track meet, When the winning archer is proclaimed. Tennis UE to the new court, we have been able to play tennis the greater part of the year, thus giving many of the girls a chance to get in trim for the coming Spring competition. A Iaddet tournament was begun in the Fall. but unfortunately could not be finished on account of the weatheri There will have to be some good playing in this year's tournament to equal that of last Spring, which was won by Harriet Larmon with Patricia Pogue a close second. Volley Ball OLLEY Ball gives much enjoyment in the warm weather to everyone in general, but to the lower school in particular, for this group holds many thrillirig interciass games dur- ing the season. Here is another game where co-operation and skill are necessary, Page Sixty-one MARCIE ALLEN LILLIAN IRVING PEGGY PALMER CAROL BETTMAN MARION JOSLIN MARTHA STRAUSS NANCY BRAGDON ANN MILLER SUE STRAUSS BETTY FLACK BETSY MILLER ELEANOR TAFT NATALIE GATES BARBARA MOESER MARY LOUISE WAGNER DOROTHY HILLS SARAH MARSH NICHOLS ELSIE WARRINGTON Lower School Stunt Team ONGRATULATIONS, Lower School, for your fine work in the demonstration.

From the Association are picked certain girls to represent all the Hillsdale sports. These girls comprise the Council. which, by planning many good times, makes it so desirable to enter, that the points necessary for admis- sion are earned as quickly as possible. It is a real honor to be a member of the Athletic Council, for only those who are truly interested in sports and who are willing to work hard in order to gain the extra amount of points necessary to become a Council member are able to hold these positions.
