At the beginning of the second quarter we welcomed into the third grade Ixitty Lu Coffman newly arrived from Shelbyville, Ky. Field Day on Qctober 19 was our first big day. Our booth was gay with red white and blue crepe paper decorations. And we were quite successful in our sale of cookies cake and c1ndies. Among our numerous activities this year have been dramatizations, round table discussion, on two occasions the leading of chapel, a Christmas party, at which we were hostesses to the first and second grades, the staging cf Peter Rabbitw in French, on two occasions the appearance of our rhythm band, and participation in the May fete. Cut art, French, gym, and music classes this year have been absorbing. They all tie in with our regular classes. Wwe learn grammar in English and we find that as a result French is easier for us. For our May fete we have learned about Indians, in art we have made Indian objects, in gym we have learned Indian dancesg and in music, we have learned that Indian music, like Chinese, is built upon five tones. We are proud that we have been consistent in our buying of stamps and bonds. Not a month passes without our buying a great many stamps or a bond. We help the Red Cross too by knitting squares for afghans. Cur year has been a happy one. We find ourselves looking forward to vaca- tion, yet lcnowing that before the summer is over, we shall be anticipating eagerly our next year at Holland Hall. Page 40 c9'.

Quickly they form a great semi circle along the driveway and stand in hushed silence till Old Glory is hoisted into the blue sky. The service is culminated when one hundred and twelve bright and healthy faces look proudly up and one hundred and twelve voices recite in unison the pledge of allegiance.

Ir is ideal for the purpose. Sep- arated as it is by some two miles from the school proper, it gives the student a feeling of returning home after tiring school hours. There have been many improvements at Oak- wold since the last school year. To begin with, the swimming pool has been filled for many glori- ous weeks of splashing. A physical education schedule for the girls from four until live olclock after school has been set up. Church attendance has been made compulsory. In this way the girls have a chance to see many of Tulsa's lovely churches. Last, but not least in importance, is the required keeping of an account book. The students who board at Oakwold range in age from ten to eighteen. They have their own Oakwold Council. which meets once a week to discuss house problems and rules. On the Coun- cil this year are Pat Nero, president, Jackie Holl, vice-president, Ellen McEwen, secretary: Rita Pettigrew, treasurer, Barbara Bach, third floor representative, Violetta Brown, second floor rep- resentativeg Luella Humphreys, lodge represen- tative. There are many extra-curricular activities in which the girls at Oakwold participate: horse- back riding, tennis, swimming, badminton, walks on many interesting paths, bicycling, or chatting with visitors on the beautiful south lawn. Inside there are other diversions. Usually in the down- stairs playroom are to be found girls batting a ping pong ball back and forth, reading books in the mellow library, dancing, or just listening to victrola records, or sprawled out on the sun deck getting a smooth, even tan. Classes at Holland Hall are dismissed at 3:30 and it is then that Oak- Welders exhibit the only pep and energy they have shown during the day in the mad rush for a seat in the first trip of the station wagon. From 4:00 until 5:00 shouts coming from the tennis courts or whispered confldences told to a best friend as the two girls stroll along a wooded path make it known that this is the hour for recreation. Usual- ly from 5:00 until 6:00 the mail the girls do NOT receive is answered. Then all get ready for din- ner, which is served at 6:00 in the gracious dining room. From 7:00 until 9:00 home-work is com- pleted in a supervised study-hall. At 10:00 lights are out. There are many parties at Oakwold. The first two school parties of the year were given at Oak- wold with swimming in the afternoon, followed by a picnic supper at the out-of-doors rock Fireplace. Each month a party is given for the Oakwold girls who have had birthdays within the month. These parties are planned by the resident teachers and by the girls who have so recently added another candle to their cakes. All in all, life at Oakwold is very happy. We are guarded from interrup- tions in our study and at the same time are given every kind of recreation and every opportunity for pleasant social life. + 5 .

EHSTEB By Helene Lake, Editor At this time of year our thoughts are apt to turn toward Easter bonnets and rabbits, but also to things religious. This time of year is one of the most important in the Christian calendar. Wfe thinlc not only of Easter. but of the entire I-lolv Wleelt. The term, I'Ioly Wfeelcf' is one that is often used, but I wonder if everyone ltnows the complete story of the weelc. Nlany of us have forgotten the details. which it might be well to review. The second Saturday before Easter. Jesus was in Bethany, where Lazarus. whom he had raised from the dead. lived. At a supper, Lazarus' sister, Nlary, anointed Jesus' feet with a costly perfume and when the act was questioned on the grounds that the money should have gone to the poor instead of for this gift, Jesus replied that the poor would be here always. but he would not. The next day on Sunday iPalm Sunday--Jesus journeyed to Jerusalem riding on an ass and the people walked before him strewing palm branches, On the next Thursday, Nlaunday Thursday. there came the institution of the Lordis Supper. It was in the Upper Room where Jesus and his disciples were cele- brating the Jewish feast of the Passover that the devil put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot to betray him. They went forth from the supper and crossed the brook. Cedron, to a garden where they were met by a band of oriicers and men from the chief priests. They took Jesus and bound him and lcd him before Pontius Pilate. Now, at the time of the Passover. it was the custom to release one Jewish prisoner. The people were offered Jesus. but they demanded the release of Barabbas. the robber. They made for Jesus a crown of thorns, and on Good Friday he was crucified, He was buried in a new tomb in the garden of the wealthy Joseph of Arimathea. On Easter Sunday there came the resurrectiong on that day Christ rose from the dead. il- Govt-SR COMMENT -- By Peggy Wilson lGrade 63 MISS HOLLAND HALL has a little lamb A-running across its coverg Maybe it's finding Easter flowers Or looking for its Muvver.

Later, after four years of practice, he continued his studies, specializing in a study of pulmonary disabilities for the Ministry' of Mines. In Londcn, Dr. Cronin l-uilt up a successful practice in the West End. His writing career began in 1930 when an enforced vacation gave him the long awaited chance to write a novel. The first novel, Hattie's Castle, was followed by many other suc- cesses. Two of his more familiar novels are The Citadel and Keys of the Kingdom. Dr, Cronin's most recent novel, The Green Years, ranks with his former novels. Those who have not yet read the book, may be interested in a brief summary. The Green Years tells the story of a boy, Robert Shan- non, from the years eight to eighteen. At the age of eight he had been left an orphan and penniless. His devoted young Scotch mother and care-free Irish father had both died of consumption. The boy was brought back from Ireland to live with his maternal grandparents in Scotland. He arrived lonely, home-sick, and very pale. From the first he noticed how different this household was compared to his easy going home, lovable parents, delicate food and care. The first night, Robert was permitted to carry upstairs the tray of his great- grandfather, whom he called Grandpa This act began a very warm, but strange friendship and introduced a lovable, eccentric old man. The town of Levenford, Robert found, was very set in its ways and customs, its people sturdy Scotch Presbyterians, its factories small and dingy, and its ideas narrow and intolerant. 10 Robert's first day in school was a cruel and humiliating ex- perience. He went to school attired in a bright green home- made suit, much to his humiliation. -Ieers and laughter greeted him on arrival. All through the day he suffered in silence and on the way home he was taunted and bullied. Xvhen he finally got home. his Grandpa burned the suit, Even though the green suit was gone, Robert was still subject to bullying. His great-grandfather taught him how to fight and instructed him to choose the toughest and biggest boy in school. Robert chose Gavin, the idol of the school and the object of his own hero worship, fought him and lost. Gavin took Robert home and bandaged his cuts. That after- noon was the happiest Robert had known since he came to Levenford. Thus another friendship which greatly infiuenced Robert's life was formed. In school he made progress and was the star pupil in his class. But other problems arose. He had been a Catholic all his life and refused to renounce his religion even though the people in the village opposed and scorned the Catholic Church. Again his Grandpa, who him- self professed no religion, helped him. With his approval, Robert took instructions and was later confirmed. Similar incidents follow these throughout the book and help Robert to grow up. Between the ages of eight and eighteen life deals Robert many cruel blows and towards the last he bows down before them. After the tragic death of Gavin and the passing of Grandpa, Robert sees nothing to live for. In the end Grandpa proves his worth by leaving all of his insurance to Robert to enable him to go on to college. A reader of The Green Years naturally draws a com- parison with Keys of the Kingdom. The two books are similar in many respects. For instance, both take the early life of a boy who is faced with many hardships. Both Robert and Francis Chisholm in Keys of the Kingdom are orphaned at an early age and endure countless resulting privations. In The Green Years, in my opinion, Dr. Cronin over-emphasizes tragedy and therefore weakens the character of Robert Shan- non. Of the two heroes, mcst persons would agree that Robert Shannon is the lesser character. Even though the book, The Green Years, ends when Robert Shannon is eighteen, I don't feel that he will become a great character. Francis Chisholm, who becomes Father Chisholm, Catholic missionary priest, is one of the greatest of book characters anywhere. Both books deal with a Catholic in a sternly Protestant community and both are didactic in that they teach a lesson in tolerance for Catholicism.

That was why' she was now the wife of Pfc, Robert Wfhitlock. Bob was overse1s now, near only in thought. Because of this thought Mariette knew that he wanted her to attend church Sundfiy in a new Easter bonnet and re-live those first moments they had had together. But how? She turned her eyes from the st1r and glanced about the shabby room. There w1s no money for a new outfit not even 1 new h1t. If only. if only she could find a h1t, then she might manage to pl1y the roll of 1 young girl just fallen in love. XVith 1 sudden spurt of energy Mariette pushed the chair away from the desk. There was one thing left for her to do: look through the attic. Wearily she climbed the dreary. creaking stairs. Upon opening the door at the top she was h't full in the face with an odor of musk, 1nd as her hand groped for the light switch. she oecame ent1ngled in numerous spiderwebs, How- ever pushing these aside she began to se1rch. She looked high 1nd low, but not 1 sign of 1 h1t could she find. Then in the blackest and sootiest corner she found the hat. It w1s a sh1bby musty green velvet with a m1ngled plume bearing particles of dust and tattered cobwebs. Pulling it out from its hiding place, she started to laugh till it dawned upon her that this-this ancient cre1tion was the only bonnet she had to wear. This realization was too much. Throwing herself on an old stack of clothes. Mariett1 cried-cried until she fell asleep. The world seemed to be a greenish mass whirling round and round. Then out of this nightmare there appeared a MISS HOLLAND HALL - April.1945 h1t 1 green ielvet h1t with a long flowing ostrich plume the color of cream 1t the turning point But the hat beg1n to spe1k It M15 saying Do not disdain me fair muden for I h1ve had 1 glorious life I w1s hrst owned by your grandmother Isabelle Th1t w1s in I898 during the Sp1n1sh Americ1'1 W1r There w1s not 1 prouder lady th1t E1ster Sund1y th1n your gr1ndmother She h1d just reccued word th1t your gr ndf1ther h1d been decor1ted tor his performance in battle 1nd Is1belle wore the hat to defy anv h1rm that might try to come to him Th1t afternoon when she returned from church, a telegram was waiting her Her husb1nd your grandfather had been killed on the battlefield I gave the first comfort that came to her because I had been worn for his sake During the course of time I w1s put 1w1v until in 1918 your mother Ellen celebr1ted E1ster I w1s the h1t she more The re1son I had this honor w1s th1t your mother in her h1ste to get re1dy had ruined her other h t 1nd in 1 l1st desper1te miment hei eye spied me She wore me proudly she was in tact prouder than 1ny other l1dy for on th1t d1y your father returned from the battlefields of Europe I w1s crushed xn1ny a time that Easter but I did not mind I was so completely happy.

A greenish mist again appeared before lVlariette's eyes and soon the hat vanished. The first rays of the sun beat against her eyelids and finally succeeded in w1king Mariette.

I believe that there is sfine power gtcater than anv on earth, I have no fear of God. only a sense of His protection and existence. Also. I am something of a fatalist. I believe that if a thing is going to happen. it is going to happen and that's all there is to it. There is nothing vou can do tfi change it. I think that it is my sense of the protection of God coupled with my fatalistic ideas that give me my very optimistic viewpoint about the future. I never worry about what lies in store for me, for I am sure that it is best I never believe that anything had is going to happen t:ntil ir actually docs. I recognize. of course, that everyone receives his share both of good and bad according to the law of averages. I ,nudge right and wrong, not through the eyes of society. though it does influence, but through my own conscience. If I feel deep inside that what I have done is really right. then I believe firmly that it is right and I care very little for the opinion of anyone else. My philosophy of life could be summed up something like this: Believe in God and His protection: take things in your stride as they come: do not look for or expect bad thingsg keep an opti- mistic view for the future, for after all even if evil is coming, there is nothing you can do about it: and establish your own code of right. for you are the severest judge of yourself. By Corilie Ann Chapman iGrade 121 XY'hen things get tough and you need a friend. just turn to God: He will understand. If life seems to be crowding you a little. talk it over with Him and get it off your chest, You will feel much better and you will also find that things work out better in no time at all. Children say their prayers before going to bed every night: so can grownaups prav if they have the feeling to. If God listens to the prayers of soldiers on the battle-held and likewise to the prayers of little childrcn. then surely He must listen to the prayers of men everywhere. not just necessarily in church. A man does not have to go to church regularly to be a good Christian and believe in God, For many men, religion is something that they wish to keep within themselves: the worshipping of God is a personal matter to be gone at the way they want to: some things they feel. but cannot discuss. Keep your worrying and grumbling to yourself. Everyone likes to blow off once in a while, but do not make it a habit. Good davs and had days are experienced by all, This excerpt from the poem. Things Wfork Out. by Edgar Guest. ex- presses the idea very well' MISS HOLLAND HALL - April, 1945 So bend to your trouble and meet your care. For the clouds must break and the sky grow fair. Let the rain come down, as it must and will, But keep on working and hoping still. For in spite of the grumblers who stand about. Somehow. it seems, all things work out. .lust remember that while there are people who are better off tltan you. there are also an awful lot of people who are much worse off than you are. Especially think of the latter group: no matter how much you yourself are suffering, there is always someone else who is suffering greater hardships than you. Be tolerant and be patient of other people's short-comings. For most people this seems to be one of the hardest things to do, Wfe are all inclined to be impatient with each other and to think only of ourselves. but we all admire a person who does possess these qualities of tolerance and patience. Each one of us has short-comings and does things that are irritating to o'i:' fellow-inen, Ive should try hard to remember that. Have conhdence in yourself and your own abilities. This is a great incentive to success and will help you not to fear to work for what you want. But do not let it go to the point of conceit, for this is the destructive side of confidence. Realize your limitations, but do not let them hold you back. If you find yourself in a situation where you think that you can be of any help at all and there is no one else who can do better. why, get in there and do the best you can: you at least have the satisfaction of knowing that you tried. By Sally Ann Thompson 4GraCIe 123 I am conventional. A certain accepted adherence to cus- tom has surrounded me since earliest childhood. I demand integrity of myself and others and I rather stress one of the cheapest yet rarely used commodities-courtesy in any and all situations. Though not a member of any church or a follower of any particular dogma, I have implicit faith in a supreme being and praver and I feel an almost personal closeness to my God, perhaps an almost childish faith or trust. In order to be completely happy in the larger sense of the word and at peace with myself, I must each day feel that I have ac- complished something which to me is important in my scheme of life. It may be rather trite, but I can't help believing in the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. is an excellent philosophy for me to follow, 13 REPORTERS Julia Ann Park Nancy

Pinafore, produced at Holland Hall the evenings of Nlarch Z and 3, under the direction of Mrs. Thomas D. XVilson and Mrs. Sam Brown, proved a great success. Thi: set, a ship's deck, representing the work of Miss Beattie and the scenery committee, was an effective background for the opening scene, showing sailors lboys' chorusl scrub- bing down :he deck. The stellar role, that of Sir Joseph Porter. K.C.B., carried by Jacqueline Holl, was almost pro- fessional in quality. Joanne Splane as Little Buttercup, Barbara Fleming as Captain Corcoran, Frances McMillin as Hebe, Sue Xvoodring as Josephine. the Captain's daughter, Garalene Vandever as Ralph Rackshaw, and Patricia Nero as Deadeye, were an able supporting cast. Especially popular numbers were Sir Joseph's song, I Am the Monarch of the Sea , Little Buttercup's solo, Little Buttercup , the duet, Things Are Seldom What They Seem,', by Buttercup and the Captaing and the Bell Trio by Josephine, Sir Joseph, and the Captain. Action was cleverly maintained by Dick Deadeye fPatricia Nerol, Hebe lFrances McMillinl, the Boatswain lEileen Maloneyl: and the Middy fDiana Kirkl. The girls in the girls' chorus-the sisters, cousins, and aunts of Sir Joseph--were charming in their pinafore costumes. These included Jean Ache, Violetta Brown, Mar- garet Ann Graham, Virginia McMillin, Tish Moran, Julia Ann Park, Nlarilyn Sexton. Elmera Smith, Sally Ann Thomp- son, Mary Ellen W'aters, and Milly Wilson. The boys' chorus of sailors included: Mary Jane Feemster, Janet Felt, Julie Flint, Helene Lake, Nancy Ricketts, Nelda Wells, Katty and Sally W'hite. The boys' chorus appeared also in a fisherman's hornpipe. triined by Mary Lou Smelser, director of physical education and dance at Holland Hall.

This is proved by Mrs. Brown, our new music teacher, who has a most interesting and entertaining way of presenting her subject. In our classes we not only learn music and rhythm, but we learn how closely this subject is related to our other work. Wfe have learned the history of the march, which includes the study of pre-historic man as well as the beginnings of music. Also in connection with our study of music, we learn geography, more recent history than the story of pre-historic man, out- line form and punctuation, evolution, biography, word study, and other arts. For example, in the waltz we learned that the word waltz'A comes from the German word Uwalzenf' mean- ing to turn or whirl, Then, knowing what people had developed the waltz and knowing that walzen means to whirl, we understand something of the original form of the waltz as it grew out of the folk dance, CALENDAR April 3-8:25-School opens after the Easter recess.

stick by a playmate He lost the other eye at the age of eleven by an arrow from a cross bow Although he was totally b11nd before he was twelve he made rapid progress ln h1s stud1es and later achieved success as a public man Thls young lawyer came to wh1t la now Oklahoma in 1901 He was elected to the Terr1tor1a1 LOUHCI1 1n 1905 His senator1al career began in November 1907 He was re elected for a full sxx year term 1n 1909 and again in 1915 unt11 1921 and agam 1n 1930 Since Oklahoma was admntted to statehood November 17 1907 we can realize to some extent, how much hxs time and talent have meant to us during these 1mportant years Throughout hls long public caree1 he has shown a genuine interest in political social, 'md economxc progress It is dif ficult to understand why our 11brar1es have so little informa tion about such an eminent statesman In order to obtam su1tab1e 1nfo1mat1on for a magazlne art1c1e 1t was necessary to write to him His letters are very mterestmg, informative, and of historical value, and It IS for these reasons that I share them wxth you QCOPY1 T P Gore Attorney and Counselor at Law Union Trust Building Washington D C Mxss ulia Ann Park March Z 1945 Tulsa Oklahoma My Dear MISS Park I an- pleased to acknowledge recetpt of your letter of late date in wh1ch you request certain in formation that will enable you to write a paper on the subject pleased to comply w1th your request, and 1 regret that parts of the subj ct 'ire difficult even for an expert to explain fwhlch I am notj and doubly diihcult for a layman to under stand But nelther you nor I are responsible for that My efforts to serve Oklahoma fell naturally under tvvo heads correspondlng with the two chief interests of our State AGRICULTURE and OIL When both of these pursults prosper all prosper When ne1ther prospers, no one prospers Those truths are self evxdent and give point to the lmportance of this subject Nature is, of course, the source of all real wealth Farm lands when properly conserved may be the perpetual source of wealth whereas every 011 Field 1n the nature of things 15 dest1ned to go dry Every 011 well is an haustible source of wealth which cannot be replaced when exhausted 1'h1s distinction gives r1se to different problems callxng for different treatments My service to Agr1cu1ture dealt w1th two phases of the subject soil conservation on the one hand, and Rural Credits on the other As you know all cultivated so11 15 subject to erosion, due in part to natural forces and due 1n part to lack of protectxon In other words, so11 runs down to the sea I saw an estimate a few years ago that more than half a bl11lO1'1 tons of silt or so11 pass each yeat through the mouth of the lwlssxssippi into the Gulf of MQXICO That was depletmg the soil in the 31 or 32 states drained in whole or in part by the Father of Waters It was an enormous and irreplaceable loss a loss which had to be prevented or at least reduced In an effort to mee that s1tuat1on and to solve that problem I IHIYO duced in the Senate a joint resolution to establish the Bureau of S011 Conservatxon An identical measure was mtroduced 30 1n the House by Congressman Dempsey of New Mexico, now governor of that State That measure was enacted ln!0 law The Bureau of S011 Conservatxon was estabhshed It was charged wlth the duty of making a study of the whole subject of so11 erosion, and to devise ways and means for so11 con serwation I was informed only yesterday that so11 conserva tion IS a matter of mtense 1nterest throughout the state t this very time RURAL CREDITS XVhen the Federal Reserve Act was passed in 1914 the ordinary commercxal bank was forb1dden as a rule to make either long or short term loans on farm lands or farm improvements Facilitxes for farm credits were very limited and the rate of 1nterest was relatively high That s1tuat1on I thought called for treatment Several systems of rural crednt had been developed 1n European countries In the Spring of 1913 1 secured the passage of a PFOVISIOH creating the Rural Credits Commission charged with the duty of visiting Europe, makxng a study of the different systems of rural credit, and subm1tt1ng a report to Congress as to their find ings Pres1dent W1lson named me as a member of the com mission, but I was unable to serve on account of other off1c1a1 duties In due tlme the comm1ss1on submitted a report to Congress As chairman of the Senate Commxttee on Agr1cu1ture I secured an amendment to the Agricultural Approprlatton B111 in the Spr1ng of 1915 which provided for the establishment of a system of Federal Land Banks ln this country We found that the subject requ1red further de11berat1or1 so the amend ment went out 1n conference and I secured a substltute creat 1ng a ,IOIHI comm1ttee of the two Houses to consist of three on Banking and Currency of the two Houses In due txme that commlttee prepared a 19111 which was enacted 1nto law and which established the existing system of Federal Farm Ioan Banks some 12 in number, situated lh the IZ d1fferent d1str1cts 1nto wh1ch the country 15 dlVld9d The bank for our district IS located at Wichita, Kansas, and I belleve IS 1end1ng money at the rate of 3572 interest MY SERVICES TO THE OIL INDUSTRY are even harder to exp1a1n and harder to understand The ma1n service was lh securmg an amendment to the Revenue Act of 1918 prov1d1ng fo what has SINCE been known as t.he Depletlon Allowance It IS related to the taxation of 1ncome der1ved from 011 properties Under the 16th Amendment the Income Tax Amendmentl Congress was author1zed to levy a tax on all 1ncome from uhatever source derived But that amend ment did not authonze Congress to tax capital A tax on 1ncome under the 'amendment IS an 1nd1rect tax and must be levied in accordance ui h wmat IS known as the Rule of Uni form1ty whereas '1 tax on capital is a d1rect tax and must be 1ev1ed in accordance with what is known as the Rule of Ap pornonment, that is, If must be apportxoned among the several states on the bas1s of pop11:1t1on The two methods are con st1tut1ona1ly and fundamentally dxfferent O11 in the ground is capital, and not income, and cannot be taxed as mcome When

HIJLIDHYS By Helene Lake, Editor The coming of fall brings not only cool, crisp days and back-to-school groans, but it also carries with it many holidays. Some of these are celebrated in European countries as well as in America. Scme are distinctly American. Some even are local. All, it goes without saying, are welcomed eagerly. The first fall holiday is Halloween or All Hallows' Eve, which comes on October 31, the evening before All Saints Day. On I-Iallowe'en all the spirits of the dead are supposed to rise to celebrate their one free night a year. I-Ialloweaen is not an of- ficial holiday, but it is celebrated throughout America, especially by the children. It has become for them an evening to spend in jokes and pranks. The next important day in line is one which is not so well-known over the coun' try. In fact it is an English holiday and was celebrated in America only in New England in the colonial period. It is still celebrated in England. The date is November 5g the holiday is known as Guy Fawkes, Day or Pope s Day. Guy Fawkes was an English Roman Catholic. In the year l605 he had joined with other con- spirators who wished to restore a Catholic to the throne. They formed a plot to blow up the houses of Parliament on opening day, when King James I and his ministers as well as parliament members would be present. Fawkes was the chief agent. All arrangements had been completed when he was arrested. He was brought to trial, hanged, drawn, and quartered. Parliament set aside November 5 fthe date when the plot was to have been consummatedj as a day of thanksgiving. In colonial times the day was celebrated by drawing down the street a huge wagon in which rode a mimic pope. Great crowds followed the wagon beating drums, carrying torches, and shouting. The parade ended in a big bonlire where the imitation pope was burned. Masks were often worn. During the days immediately preceding the American Revolution, Sam Adams used the confusion of Guy Fawkes' Day to further his plot- tings against the Red Coats. In England today the celebration is harmless. Boys blacken their faces with soot and wear chimney-sweep hats. Boarding school girls celebrate with fire-crackers. November 11 is Armistice Day, which England and America celebrate in a very serious way. It commemorates the t-nd of the lirst World War and at one time we hoped that it might come to symbolize .1 day of lasting peace, but that is a holiday we have yet to work for. Thanksgiving is definitely an American holiday. It is usually celebrated the last Thursday in November. It is not an ofiicial holiday, but is observed purely because it has become a tradition. The Pilgrims had the first Thanksgiving to give thanks for their safe voyage and the plentiful bounty of a certain fall harvest. The Indians were invited to the feast and they all dined on turkey, pumpkins, and such good things as the New England housewives could concoct. Today we still serve turkey and New England cranberries, but we give thanks for many blessings which belong exclusively to our own day. The final holiday of the year is Christmas, December 25. This, as everyone knows, is in memory of Jesus. This is one of the most beautiful times of the year and is celebrated in every home and church throughout the nation with fitting thoughts, words, and deeds. It is celebrated throughout the Christian world, One has only to tune in on the short wave to hear the carols sung in the church in Bethlehem, a church that is built over the reputed manger, or again to hear the Christmas music and the notes of Big Ben in London. Christmas is the culmination of all the holidays of the year everywhere and gives to mankind a better outlook on life as we pass into the new year.

J - - - tv n 1 - 1 The Second of Three Articles by CORILIE ANN CHAPMAN Non Fiction Editor iGrade 123 MARY TODD LINCOLN Mary Lincoln deserxes much credit for Lincolns political rise When she first met him in Springfield Illinois where she was visiting, she recognized that he had the qualities that would carry a man far She may have nagged him yet all during their life together she was devoted and from the be ginning she did everything in her power to help him first to congress and then to the presidency Behind her whole life was a driving ambition, which explains her role in part In the White House no other first lady has provoked more talk than Mrs lincoln The Civil XVar was in progress She was one hundred per cent loyal to the Union, but she did not get the credit for being so She was a Kentuckian and she was very awltwardly placed because of her southern connections Her orothers had fought with the Confederate army and had been killed She scarcely dared to show her sorrow The cabinet ladies and others who would normally seek the presi dential drawing room snubbed her and left her alone A cause for later criticism was her propensity for extrav agance She bought clothes in such quantities that she could never hope to pay for them Her dress for the second in augural ball cost two thousand dollars and this in war time She had the White House redecorated at exorbitant cost After the assassination of Lincoln New York shop owners made strenuous efforts to influence Congress to vote her a pensi solely with the hope of payment of the wildly extravagant bills she had run up How much Mrs Lincoln should be blamed is open to question. Ir must be remembered that she was emotionally unstable. When she had headaches she completely lost con- trol of herself. As time passed her fits of temper grew and she was unable to hold her tongue in front of people. She was a devoted but too indulgent mother. She loved her sons very much. Of the four sons one died before the family moved to Washington. When her son Willie died they were in the Xvhite House. She was never able emotionally to adjust her- self to the loss. She grieved for two years during which time she turned for comfort to spiritualism. During her widow- hood her depression and mental disturbances became alarming and for a few months she was committed to a sanitarium by her son Robert then a rising lawyer in Chicago. The last months of her life were spent in a darkened room, dressed in her widows mourning. The only son to survive her was Robert, Posterity may be more tolerant to Mary Lincoln's memory than her contemporaries were to her. Certainly every American of whatever generation should be grateful to her for her part in placing Lincoln at the helm in our great national crisis. FRANCES FOLSOM CLEVELAND lVlrs Cleveland enjoyed the unique distinction of being first lady once and after an absence of four years returning to the same position Grover Cleveland occupied the presi dential chan from 1885 1888 inclusive and again from 1893 1896 inclusive Cleveland was not married till around the middle of his first term Mrs Cleveland has been considered a beautiful woman One year she and the President honored the St Louis Veiled Prophets ball She was the queen of the occasion There was no Veiled Prophet Queen that year though there has been one every year since She was an affable and charming woman who always enjoyed seeing people and making them feel at home The dinners recep tions and other social functions given at the White House during the time that she was first lady were the most brilliant ever given here to th Whi e House a bride in Clewelands first term when she left ten years later there were three little daughters Ruth Esther lborn in the White Housel and Marian She looked after the three children daily herself and it was her tenderness that prevented the children from being in the limelight of publicity not the much adxertised story that she was hiding her cnildren because they were deformed She was likewise a devoted wife Her husbands welfare always came first with her She looked aftti him as closely as if he were one of her childr n She nexer permitted herself to be placed first This was noticeable whenever they left the White House she always insisted that hc precede her into the carriage no matter how much he protested This first lady was beloved by the servants. She was their true friend, full of understanding. Once when she came home unexpectedly she found the housemaids dancing in the library while the fireman a German and a line performer on the piano was supplying the music. Instead of discharging them she took pains to ralieve their embarrassment and sat down to watch the performance. She never failed to praise warmly anyone who had done something to please her. This gained her countless friends. She was very fond of flowers and she loved to walk in the conservatory with her children. Her fav- orite blossom was the pansy. Years later when she was in private life, she was the honor guest at a White House dinner. The servants in their decorations remembered her favorite flower and made use of it. When it came time for leaving the White House Mrs. Cleveland who till then had remained calm and self-con- trolled wept. She sent for the employees and servants and took a personal farewell. -A? ir l it af af if if if -if WIVES GF OUR PRESIDENTS if ar ir at if is 1' 1 . ' . . . , . ,7 1 1 K . 'C O K - y . .I i - . .

Advocates of the system tell me that this is a useful and beneficial device. but they neglect to tell me just who is reaping the numerous benefits. It is supposed to be the plan of the faculty. but I think the truth cf the matter is that Einstein thought it up in one of his most Fiendish mo- ments and sold it to the school for a fabulous sum. Like most of Einstein's other theories, nobdy can understand it but Einstein. Therefore, we all interpret the system in our own manner, and nobody knows what it is really all about. You clonit have very much trouble with demerits unless you are a normal girl or color blind. As to the latter, you may get into numerous difficult situations such as thinking you are signing a white slip for admittance to a class and actually be signing a pink one-five demerits for chewing gum. Of course color blindness happens only on rare occasions and is what is generally known as t,s. --tough situation. As to being a normal girl. that is something most of us can't help. Those things happen in the best regulated families. The demerit system works something like this: you are required to have a green slip to go to the lavatory. You ask for it. The teacher can't find it. She fills out the first other slip she can find. It turns out to be a telephone slip. Later someone else finds this slip discarded and puts it on the bula letin board, You see it and call home-one demerit for using the telephone during school hours. Or again you ask for the green slip, As usual the teacher canit find it. She fills out a white utility slip, only it turns out to be a white at- tendance slip 4 one demerit for being late to school. Often the teacher makes out the pink slips in a hurry, sticks them under your nose, and says, Sign, You sign, and neither one looks to see if the right slip is being signed. I know of a case where a third grader got five demerits for smoking and a senior girl got five demerits for pulling the braids of the girl in front of her. The faculty has a very nice way set up for handling the cases they don't know what to do with: they put three slips in a hat, a pink one, a green one, and a white one. The culprit draws one. If she gets the white one, she goes free, if the pink one, she gets a detention: if the green one, she scrubs the kitchen fioor. This all saves much wear and tear on the brain. I'm sure you will all agree with me that our demerit system is a very good thing. If you can't say anything else for it, at least it keeps alive your interest in color. lVlustn't ever mistake green for pinkffatall You must'nt go to the other extreme either: just glance up once in a while from your all- enveloping pile of pink slips and try to Gnd some other color. As a final gesture the demerit system offers you at gradua- tion, not one diploma, but four: a white one for scholastic effort lnot accomplishment, just effortlg a green one for gymnastic effort fremember the fioors you scrubbedjg a pink one as a badge of merit for having survived the demeritsg a purple one just because that's a pretty color they forgot to lzring in anywhere else. You are now three times ahead of every other high school graduate. You go off to college with a light heart, sound body, and four diplomas. Your mind, racked and worn from puzzling over the whys and wherefores of our great system, you leave for the collection at Holland Hall. The demerit system has won again. POST-ELECTION THOUGHTS By Mary jean Fleeger fGrade 93 As the winter of '45 creeps upon us, many people in our country Find disunity spreading slowly, but steadily through our civilian ranks. This tragic war has brought many anxious moments, but never since the war began, has disunity been so evident. There is usually more than one reason for dis- unity, something which you cannot touch, but which you can sense. The barrier in this case land I believe many people agree with mel is the election results. During the campaign mud-slinging played a major role in both parties. We are still sore, particularly if we are not New Dealers, Also the presidential candidates repeatedly gave speeches which lauded their own past records, but which ignored present day prob- lems and post-war reconstruction. Now we may overlook this u ... 6'- indefiniteness in the candidate of our own party, but we refuse to overlook it in the opposition candidate. This makes for disunity. But after all, should we not remember that the campaign is over, Campaign buttons, posters, and personal appearances belong to the past. Franklin Roosevelt and the Democratic congress have been elected in accordance with the wishes of the majority. The minority wanted a change which they did not get. I am one of the minority. And I say, shall we not be good sports and forget our personal disappointment? Shall we not lend whole-hearted support to our president that our war effort may be one hundred per cent effective so that our brave soldiers. sailors, and marines need not have died in vain? , if hnfgj. - I: 44 1 lv, U g-vo - r1nlxAr4D vnu i A-ltl.,1L... ,-- - ',,,,,.. .,-'LAY 7 BEFORE I CAME T0 HOLLAND HALL iAs told to Pat Nero, reporter, by Eleanor Thackaral Miss Thackara IS ln cnarge of prxmary grades at Holland Hall To make matters clear said Miss Thackara I must go way back to my grandfather He was Amerxcan consul general first at Le Havre ln 1900 then tn Berlin tn 1908 and agaxn tn Parts during the last war It was then that he was decorated wtth the Leglon of Honor and the Croxx de Guerre He stayed on ln Parts tlll hls death ln 1937 ln Le Havre and at Stoneyhurst ln England It was tn Le Havre that he met my mother who was born and brought up there although she was English Father came back to the States fo hrs college work He spent three years at Harvard from which he was graduated After graduatxon he worked for the Otis Elevator Company and was sent to Havana for two years and to Buenos Axres for thlrteen years It was In a suburb of Buenos Alres that my two brothers and I Were bofrl When I was three Dad was transferred to Parts and after spendxng a few months there we rented a home tn Sevres where the famous porcelam IS made We lxved there for four years Sevres ts very near Versailles and I spent many a day vxsnttng the palace and gardens tn Versaxlles a sxght I shall never forget I started to school at slx at the Cours Dteterlen tn Parts XVe went to school twxcc a meek and dnd home work the rest of the txme As I teach the first and second grades now I am constantly amazed at what we accomplished ln one year at that school When I was seven we mo ed to an apart ment xn Pars nd that summer my older brother nm went to chool ln England Nlother and I went with htm and stayed wtth Granny tn Henley on Thames where the regattas are held each year England seemed to me a beautiful garden Eaca house had a Fovser garden even tf tt was no blgger than a handkerchtcf England was The Wtnd ln the Wlllows come true T e follomng wmter when I was exght years old a g eat chan,e came mto our hves My beautxful mother dled and the bottom of the world seemed to fall out We spent a lonely year tn Parts and then Father bought a house m Etretat wnere we had always spent our summers We now spent an mterest mg wmter nakmg the house over and m putttng tn central heating runnmg water and a bathtub I was tutored at home that wmter and the next and I have to admxt that I dtd more readlng than studymg I read everythlng I could lay my hands on and consumed not only what the average French chtld reads but the tradtttonal Enghsh books such as the works of A A lVhlne Dxckens Scott even Shakespeare After two years my tutor moved to a large town so that I had to go to the communal school We had a superb teacher, Mme Leclerc, who carrxed four grades wlth sxxty odd pupzls At the state examinations ten out of eleven pas ed, four cf us wtth flying colors At thirteen I went to Le Havre to hve wlth my mother,s slster, who was a second mother to me I attended the Pensxonnat Jeanne d'Arc les Ormeaux, a Domm 1can convent school which my mother had attended It was there I made some of my best frlends and xt was there I really began playmg wxth people my own age We had tea partxes 14 vwftvs. seams 5' x.

This was the question that obtruded it elf in all her making hours Even in the classroom she could not quite shut it out This it was that kept her tense and sad Leaving the school on this particular day she had hurried to her tmy apartment and tuned in on the short wave of her radio And this was the hour of her awakening the hour when her doubts and uncertainties were dispelled It was the long awaited D Day' The Americans were in France and in her own village THEY were being expended that the soil of France might go free By that sacrifice it seemed to her they had made themselves blood brothers their country could henceforth be her country their flag her flag Again the last hour French class The boy stopped short at the entrance so completely did the aspect of the room seem changed When finally he had de termmed to transfer his body by foot power across the threshold he did not stop at the pencil shapener but went straight to his seat His eyes went to Mademoiselle she had come ahve the tragedy had gone from her eyes the tenseness from her body And then his gaze followed her gaze to a terra cotta flower pot on her desk filled with the rich soil of her adoptive country and supporting two tmy flags the French tri color and the stars and stripes' 15 I , .

Have you ever thought about how wonderful tt ts to come home after one has been away for a long ttme9 Have you ever even thought how joyous tt ts to see agatn frtends and home and even your own room and the ltttle thtngs around your home? Maybe what you have unconsclouslj mtssed and now welcome are the records on the vlctrola whtch you havent played or heard all the weeks of your absence or the ltttle kttten or dog that wasnt around to chew on your new shoes or maybe the tall tree that you hadnt cltmbed for so long or the peaceful sounds from the out of doors strangely restful after you had stayed tn a hotel rtght next to a streetcat ltne All these ltttle thtngs I thmk are the joys of coming home CHRISTMAS IN A BOARDING HOUSE By Cortlte Chapman CGrade 127 The otg clock tn the tower tolled ten thtrty on thts Chrtst mas exe The streets were vtet and htny and only 1 few people were about at thts ttme of ntght Late Chrtstmas shop pers had gone home and the crowds from the theatres were not yet on the streets Snow was falltng gently through the crtsp cold atr A young gtrl hurried along the deserted sidewalk clutchlag a dress box under her arm She seemed 1 drab colorless sort of person shabbtly dressed and her thtn coat was pulled ttghtly around her sltght body A smtle was on her ltps and she dtd not appear to notice the cold The walk home was not half so long tontght as on other ntghts The bustness dtstrtct dropped behtnd and then came the sectton of apartment houses The netghborhood changed from ftne old manstons to mtddle class dwelltngs and fmally to what was known as beyond the tracks the poor sectton of the town As the rted faster She was rhtnktng about the beauttful dress tn the box the one for whtch she had saved through the months and for whtch she had thts eventng spent her last btt ot money It was to mean no lunch tomorrow and for days to come but she dtd not mmd She turned tn at one of the cheap dreary boardtng houses ran up several Htghts of statrs and along a drnly ltt hallway to the Lack Once tnstde the room wtth the ltghts on the gtrl who was tn her early twenttes opened the box and excttedly took out the dress It fell to the floor tn shtmmertng loveltness stlver sequins gltttertng agatnst a background of black net She qutckly removed her shabby workday s tt and slipped the beauttful dmss oter her head Then she fastened a ptece of holly tn her hatr As she stood turntng slowly tn front ot the mtrror, the drab colorless gtrl was tran formed mto beauttful young lady watttng to go to 1 gay Chrt tma dance on the arm of an admtrlng escort It was more than her own tmagtnatton Her face glowed and for the moment she dtd seem beauttful standtng there tn the hrst pretty dress of her ltfe An outstder vtewtng the scene would thtnk tt looked funny a young gtrl standmg tn a beauttful eventng dress tn thts small, dreary room admtrtng herself tn a dtngy cracked mtrror But the gtrl knew that she would always keep thts dress no matter how tough the gotng became and she would 16 t 25, y I always take tt out and wear tt when thtngs seemed blackest and when she needed somethtng to cheer her up It would probably have to last her the rest of her ltfe but she was happy Thts was the ntcest Chrtstmas she had ever had Outstde the snow conttnued to fall and the atr grew colder but tnstde the room all was warm and cozy on thts ntght vshtle a happy young gtrl enjoyed her Chrtstmas AN AWAKENING By Mary Ellen Waters lGrade 113 Maybe to someone else tt would have been just another every day o currence To me tt was an awakentng It was a realtzatton Let me start at the begtnntng It was a long ttme ago when I was qutte young Well really not so very long ago but when you are fifteen, the age of seven seems mtlltons of years ago To get back to my story tt was a lovely sprtng day and I was very happy as I walked home from my busy day at school In fact I was so happy I dectded I would sktp all the last block home I must admtt I was not very graceful at the age of seven not that I m any more graceful now and before I was half way through the block I suddenly found myself flat on my face I also saw to my great sorrow I had trtpped on a crack tn the stdewalk and landed flat rtght tn front of a yard where the btg boys of the netghborhood were playtng football They all began to laugh and looktng back I won t say that I blame them It really must have been a rare stght me a thtn ltttle gtrl belteve tt or not I was actually thtn wtth my stratght blond hatr falltng tn my eyes lymg on the stdevvalk and my books sprawled all about me Soon the sound of laughter was all I could hear I was so morttfaed I couldnt move All I could do was to put my head tn my arms and cry Suddenly all the laughter was gone I looked up and saw and heard I must add a ltttle blond boy that bore a great resemblance to me telltng the other boys that that was hts stster lytng at thetr feet and tt wasnt: the least btt funny Before I knew tt there was a fight gomg on tn full swtnv Slowly but surely I realtzed tt was about me That ntght my brother was put to bed wtth a black eye and a few bumps and brutses yet completely happy He had defended hts ltttle stster and that was all that mattered to htm He also took my greatest love and admtratton tnto hts dreams that ntghr Up unttl that day I had never exactly realtzed just who he was I had always accepted htm as just another person to hght and play wtth Now for the flrst ttme I realtzed he was my older brother and he would always be close by to hght for me I ve never had a real Ftght wtth htm stnce then Every ttme I get mad I just remember that day and my anger ts soon forgotten That s my story I know tt tsn t much and to many people tr wtll have no meantng Yet maybe someone will see tts potnt For see hes sttll ftghttng only th1s ttme tts not for just me alone Its for somethtng btgger and more tmportant than my ltttle troubles Hes ftghtmg now so that all the brothers btg and ltttle all over the world can be free to cham pton thetr ltttle ststers and not be forced to stake their ltves for the general freedom of manktnd December 1944 MISS HOLLAND HALL , . . , . . . . . y y - E 1 . .

cluster of mxstletoe txed on to a stlver bell wxth a red bow hangs 1n the hall Two candles on exther stde of the hall chest reflect ln the mxrror the cheery faces of frtends who enter the house durmg the Chrlstmas season In the ltvmg room there IS a blazmg fire Little sprigs of evergreen and holly are tied to the lamps w1th red satm and silver ribbon The best part of all IS our Christmas tree It

chattmg or argulng about the news of the day Lots of chlldren were happlly playmg as IS the wont of every ch1ld with thexr new and shmy toys Most tnterestmg of all to me were the frtendly slate

Rtsmg sheer on elther side of the comparatively narrow street stood massive granlte butldmgs bearing the names of world famous firms A little farther up we saw several old churches thexr ancient grave yards beautlfully kept through the tomb stones, datlng back to the elghteenth century were hoary wxth age and often covered wlth moss Beneath our feet the earth trembled wnth the speed and roar of the

Though mid INovember xt was a warm sunny day With the tardy bell rmglng long and loud ln our ears we ninth graders rushed into the locker room undressed and put on shorts the Wanatas blue shorts the

Colorado It was my first experience with winter sports My favorite sport was skiing Early Saturday a group of girls would board the train ln Denver bound for Winter Park some two hours distant The trip 15 a spec acular one The way leads through numerous tunnels including the famous Moffat Tunnel high up on the Contlnental D1V1d9 Arrived at Winter Park we left the train weighted down with skis ski poles and bed rolls At the sk1 shack where we were to spend two nlghts we left our bed rolls Then after a second breakfast at the Skt Inn we started off for the lowest of the three summits used for skiing and popularly known as B glnners H111 Skung IS even more wonderful than you expect it to b You see posters of rosy cheeked girls racing down a mountain side on a pair of skis and you say to your elf OH I wish I could do that It looks like so much fun' And it IS fun Whether you re a professional skier or just a beginner as most of us are, its wonderful At first theres that doubt whether you can get up enough nerve to go down bat after you try ll once you find the hill isnt quite as precipitous or q ite as long as you had thought Theres always the first time in everything and skung is no exception Its just like the lirst time you dlve ofl a diving board you feel that you can t you just cant make lt, and you re half afraid of what will happen if you do make it Yet you survive So it is with skung Before you start down the hill the second time you look at the course with new usion lf 1snt steep at all and 18 you feel that you have been a sissy Immedlately you get up vour courage and start higher up This alternate fear and courage goes on for some time until before you know It the fear ceases to be and you Gnd to your delight that you can ski' That does not imply that there are no more mishaps Doubtless you we been wondering about the spills Sometimes you get going so fast that you feel like the wlnd, and then you flnd yourself in a panic lest you run 1nto a tree Then 1f you re lucky enough to escape the tree and I just hope you do you plump right into a high snow bank not so dangerous, but also not too comfortable You usually figure out a way to get up before you freeze to death Thats really all there 1S to sknng except for a few minor detalls like knowing how to stop how to turn so that you are in no danger from that tree that you almost hit the first time If you vush to become a professlonal skier DONT come to m lh fact go as far away from me as you possibly can I m not good for you But if you really want to try a marvel ous sport for the fun of it take every chance you have to skx FALL By Judy I-Iolleman lGrade 65 Wears a lovely colorful goxvrl With brlght painted leaves dropping all around, Their hues are red and orange and yellow To match them tht

The program was designed to show the work of each department with emphasis on postewar planning for peace. Helene Lake of the twelfth grade led the history de- partment's program on the League of Nations, its successes and failures, and the reasons for failure. Mrs. Gibbs' history classes outlined the plan for collaboration after the war, placing em- phasis on the Dumbarton Oaks Conference. Milly Wilson, representing the eighth grade, led this discussion. An English class put on a mock trial in which the defendant, Janet Felt, was tried by her classmates for failure to perform her civic duties. Tish Moran as judge, and Magaret Foster, as clerk, were particularly clever in their roles. Joan Felt, of the senior class, discussed the French tradition of freedom and was fol- lowed by the fourteen eighth grade girls singing the Mar- sellaisef' Betty Butler, Garalene Vandever, Nancy Jo Canary, and Jeane Holcombe, representing the art department, gave an illustrated panel discussion of the portable pre-fabricated houses of the post-war era. Not the least in importance was the contribution of girls from the science department, who gave an interesting round-table discussion of the increasing importance of science. The physical education department sponsored a talk by Ensign H. Smelser, who has been with the Coast Guard station at Pearl Harbor for over two years. The Junior Red Cross was represented in brief remarks from Ellen McEwen, president of the Holland Hall chapter, and Martha McCabe, secretary of the City Council of Junior Red Cross. The Glee Club under the direction of Mrs. Croft sang two numbers. Marilyn Vinson presided and introduced the various speakers. FACULTY DINNER PARTIES HIGHLIGHT MONDAY EVENINGS For the past two times the regular monthly evening teachers' meeting has been preceded by a dinner party in the home of one of the staff. At the October 30 meeting, Mrs. L. B. Peters entertained very delightfully in her home at 1731 South Victor. Following dinner Mrs. Grace Campbell gave a fine program of piano selections ranging from Beethoven to the ultra modern, She played entirely without score. On Monday, November 27, Mrs. Edward Kiker, of 1704 South College, was an equally delightful and gracious hostess. At the close of the dinner guests were presented with favors in the form of attractive Eversharp pencils, the gift of Mr. and Mrs. Kiker. form.

These two organizations have existed from the beginning of the school. Student coaches for the two teams are: Sakawas, Captain, Nancy Jo Canary, and Co- Captain, Mary Jean Fleeger, W'anatas, Captain, Joan Felt, and Co-Captain, Janet Felt. Cheer leaders for the two teams are respectively, for Sakawas, Susie Vinson and Katty White, and for Wanatas, Eileen Maloney and Sue Martin.

Sponsors for the Wanatas are: Dean Gladys Neal, chairman, Mrs. E. J. Kiker, Miss Betty Randolph, The game on December 1 resulted in a victory for the Sakawas with a score of 2 to 0. Goals were made by Miss Smelser and Mary Jean Fleeger, both in the second half. The contest between the two teams operates the year around and applies io athletics, personality, academic standing, avoid- ance of absences and tardiness. For the first quarter the Sakawas won on a total of 298.86 points against 26397. In athletics they won on a score of 23 points against 20. HOLLAND HALL STUDENTS VISIT PHILBROOK During October and November the Philbrook Art Museum has featured an exhibit, Animals in Art. The Holland Hall biology class sponsored a trip to Philbrook on November 17 with the object of gaining a wider viewpoint in nature study. Among the paintings which particularly attracted us were two originals by the famous animal painter, Rosa Bonheur, as well as paintings by many contemporaries, such as Menaboni. Sutton, Peterson, Darrel Austin, William Calfee, and Illa Mc- Afee. There were several originals of the famous Audobon bird prints. Sculpture and wood carving were represented as well as Indian portrayal of animals on skins and in basketry. A unique exhibit was the color reproduction on cert rock of prehistoric animal paintings in the caves of southwestern Europe. Since the history of art class was planning an ex- cursion to Philbrook, the two groups united. They were ac- companied by Mrs. Borden, biology instructor, and Miss Beattie, of the art department. Students who made the trip were: Rosemary Brown, Betty Butler, Nancy Jo Canary, Mary Jane Feemster, Joan Felt, Jeane Holcombe, Marilyn Lindsay, Eileen Maloney, Sue Niartin, Nancy Michaels, Janey Porter, Marilyn Sexton, Sally Ann Thompson, Mary Ellen Waters, Nelda Wells.

Special guests for the occasion will be the Trustees and their wives and alumnae of the past four years. Tables will be gay with Christmas decorations, On the stage will be the usual three Christmas trees bright with rinsel. Following luncheon a Santa Claus will distribute the presents lprice limited to ten centsj. Each student and each faculty member provides a gift with suitable rhyme for a person whose name she has drawn. Only joke presents to provide fun are allowed. Some six years ago it was decided that the money spent for costly presents for each other would bring a higher satisfaction if put to another use. Thus every year students at Holland Hall give up a part of their Christmas to make a large dona- tion to the Holland Hall bed at St. John's hospital. As you pass down a hospital corridor, you may see on a door a name plate, Holland Hall. Our girls have kept in touch with the children occupying this room, have gone to see them, and have taken them toys. The occupant of recent weeks is Jimmy, a child who suffered very severe burns, The donation will be presented to the queen at the evening carol service on Decem- ber 19 by Nlary Jane Feemster of the junior class representing the Upper School and by Ronda Russell representing the Lower School. On December Z0 these girls will go with the queen to St. John,s to deliver the money in person. Trustees and wives of trustees who will attend the luncheon are: Mr. and Mrs. Bailie XV. Vinson, Mr. and Mrs. L. King Dickason, lVlr. and lVlrs. O. W. Maloney, Mr. and Mrs. Don R. Wasson, Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Arnold, Mr. and Mrs. George Clarke, Nlr. and Nlrs. Forrest H. Lindsay, Mr. and Mrs. Gary Vandever, Mr. and Mrs. Carl White, Jr, FOOTBALL PROVES POPULAR WITH HOLLAND HALL GIRLS Scarccly a game in or out of Tulsa during the season fails to draw a crowd of Holland Hall football enthusiasts. On November 10, a group traveled to Shawnee, Oklahoma, to get a close-up view of the Cascia-St. Gregory game. Nancy Jo Canary, Sue Martin, Mary Ellen Waters, Mimi and Betty White, Barbara Riley, Janey Porter were among the rcoters for Cascia. They returned that evening exultant over the Cascia victory. Pat Hulse spent the week-end of November 17 in Bartlesville to attend the Rogers-Bartlesville football game on Friday night. She was a guest of Miss June Townsend of Bartlesville, returning on Sunday, the 19th. The score of this game was 7-0 in favor of Rogers. A11 Thanksgiving games were well attended. At Skelly Stadium rooting for the Uni- versity of Tulsa were Pat Hulse, Nancy Michaels, Joanne Splane, Garalene Vandever, Marilyn Vinson.

As we entered the court-room, there was a murmur of voices among the spectators and you could sense the tcnseness in the air. The Court is in session, announced the clerkg then as Judge Shaw seated himself in a spacious swivel chair, we rose according to custom. On the wall behind his Honor were draped the American and Oklahoma Hags in full glory. In front of him was a huge desk with a pitcher of water and glasses.

Our hours for work and play are well organized so that most of us miintain a creditable scholastic record and still have time for concerts, theatres, and a fair amount of social life. On Monday, No- vember 2O, the Holland Hall honor roll was read in assembly. That evening and evenings thereafter our three seniors, Jackie Holl, Helene Lake, and Pat Nero, have been allowed the privilege of studying in their rooms instead of going to study hall. This privilege is granted to Oakwold seniors who make an average grade of B or higher. Helene Lake made high honors, while Jackie Holl and Pat Nero made honors. A num- ber of the Oakwold girls are members of the Holland Hall Glee Club. On Sunday, October 22, Violerra Brown, Jackie Holl, Nancy Ricketts, and Marilyn Sexton rehearsed at the home of Mrs. Leland Croft, our director. After Glee Club practice the four girls, together with Rita Pettigrew, were guests of Jackie's aunt, Mrs. W. D. Abbott, for a visit to Philbrook, attractive art center of Tulsa. On October 23 music lovers from Oakwold-in fact, everyone-attended the operetta, Naughty lNlarietta. On Tuesday, November 21, Oakwolders attended the first Civic Music Association concert of the season at Convention Hall, featuring Christine Johnson, contralto. We have attended several dances. On Friday, October 27, a number of us attended the Senior Charity Hop at Holland Hall. It was a backward dance. Marilyn Sexton took Bob Brown, while Rosie Brown brought Tommy Arrington. The dateless ones included the three senior hostesses, Jackie Holl, Helene Lake, and Pat Nero, plus Violetta Brown, Jeane Hol- combe, and Edwina Tisdal. The next evening Jeane Hol- combe, Violetta Brown, and Ellen McEwen were chaperoned to the O.M.A. barn dance at Claremore by Mrs. McEwen. Their respective dates were Joe Coker, Donald Lee Smith, and Bill Johnson. On Saturday, November 11, Jeane Holcombe and Ellen lVlcEwen and Mrs. Holcombe were visitors in Clare- more. We have had many pleasant invitations from friends in Tulsa. On Saturday, October 21, Marlene Axe, Violetta Brown, Jeane Holcombe, Helene Lake, Pat Nero, Rita Petti- grew, and Nancy Ricketts were invited to spend the evening at the home of Nelda Wells. The week-end of October Z7, Rosie Brown was the house guest of Joanne Splane. On Satur- day, November ll, Jackie Holl was the guest of her aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Abbott, for dinner at the Am- bassador Hotel. On Saturday, November 18, she was a guest of Sally Thompson for luncheon and a show. Saturday evening she was the house guest of Patricia Rutledge. Ellen McEwen spent that Saturday at the Quinlan farm as guest of Mr. and blrs. Charles P. Quinlan. 26 We have had some interesting trips to our homes or the homes of out of town friends at week-ends. On November 3 Jackie Holl, Marlene Axe, and Ellen McEwen flew home to Wichita on the Friday afternoon plane-wthe lucky things! That week-end everyone seemed to go home. Helene Lake drove to Pawhuska with her parents. Nancy Ricketts spent the weck-end with her mother here in the city, and Pat Nero was the house guest of Violetta Brown in Shawnee, Oklahoma. The week-end of November 10, Rosie Brown drove home to Oklahoma City with Miss Smelser and her brother, Ensign Gene Smelser. For the Thanksgiving vacation there was a general exodus. lvliss Thackara and Rita Pettigrew were house guests of Marilyn Sexton in Kansas City over the holidays. Pat Nero was the guest of Violetta Brown at her home in Shawnee. Friday, December 1, Rosie Brown invited Joanne Splane to spend the week-end with her in Oklahoma City. On Saturday, Jackie H011 went to Bartlesville to visit Mrs. Eula Hirrington and her daughter As pleasant as any other phases of our social life have been dinners or parties at Oakwold. On Sunday, November 19, we were honored by having as dinner guests Dean Wilson of Wellesley College, Mrs. John Ware, Mrs. Edmund Lashley, moth- er of Miriam Lashley, Holland Hall, '37, and Wellesley, '41. Other guests were Joan Felt and Nancy Michaels, of the senior class at Holland Hall. On Hallowe'en boarders were given a jolly party. Games and fortune telling by Miss Thackara preceded dinner. The dining room was decorated with scary spooks and pumpkins as lanterns. And the menu was a de- licious party menu. As the second issue of MISS HOLLAND HALL goes to press, we are looking forward to the annual Christmas dinner party. This celebration comes this year on Sunday, December 17, with dinner at 6:00. House officers, Pat Nero, Jackie Holl, Nelda Wells, and Rita Pettigrew will trim the Christmas tree a day or two in advance. Jeane Holcombe will devote her artistic talents to table decorations for the dinner itself. Following dinner presents from the tree -humorous and limited in price to twenty-Five cents each - will be distributed by Santa. Miss McCormack will be a guest. Even now we are excited at the thought of going home for the Christmas holidays. Pat Nero will spend part of her time in Denver, Colorado, as a guest of Mrs. L. L. Hoffman. All of the other students are returning to their homes. Dean Neal and Miss Smelser will leave for New York together. From there Dean Neal will continue to Boston. Miss Thackara will spent her vacation in Beaumont, Texas, coming home by way of Shreveport, Louisiana. Mrs. Gibbs is still hoping that she will be able to be with her husband over the holidays.

As much ns possxblc should be donv ro remedy lhlfi suumxon, parricularlv now when the choice of pre-sndcm has gained grr-are-r xmportancc than 1-ver before, The whole procedure which we follow was originated by the Consrxrurlonnl Con- venrxon of l787. The fnundmg Fathers thsught that the president should br: elected neither by Congress, be-cause he would :hen bv :oo dependent. nor directly by the peoplc, who were too thinly scattered over the large country to be able to inform themselves of the qualifacmions of :he candrdntcs, Therefore they devised the system of the electoral college. Each smrc is allowed io have .ls many electors as it has senators and rcprcscnmtlvcs. Gkllhoma has Iwo U.S. senators and eight reprc- scnmrives. Therefore wc shall have mn electoral votes. In the beginning the electors voted ns they thought best individually, nor according to previous promise to this political party or that. Bur the method worked, as originally planned. only through XVashingron's two terms. He received the unanimous vote of the electoral college. The only other candidate ever to approach this record was James Monroe in running for a second term in 1820. His First term had been called the Era of Good Feel- ingu and there was no rival candidale, He lacked only one vote. withheld be- cause rhe elector felt that Vihshingron should be the only man to have the honor of the unanimous electoral vote. The Constitution does not provide for political parliesg nevertheless they came into being and afler 1796 the electors became mere puppets in the hands of these parties. About the same time as the national party conventions ijune or july of election yearb, the various parties in each state nominate the quota of electors to which their state is entitled. In New York in 1940 there were two senators and forty-Eve representatives. In New York, accordingly, the Democrats nominated forty-seven. presidential electors, all pledged to vote for Roosevelt if the Democrats won in New York: similarly the Republicans of New York voted for forty-seven electors, pledged to vorc for Willkie if the Republicans won. The general election mkes place in November. In December the electors of the winning party meet in the state capital :md go through the form of c1sting their V0l9SlIl mere rubber stamp procedure. These are scnr by registered mail ro the president of the senate, who opens them in the presence of the two houses and counts them. The person receiving the largest number of electoral votes, if this is a majority of all votes, is declared president, In the election of 1824 there were four or Flve candidates. jackson of Tennessee. Clay of Kentucky, John Quincy Adams of Massachusetts, Calhoun of South Car- olina, Crawford of Georgia. Jackson polled rhe largest number of electoral votes. but not enough to make an actual majority. In accordance with the Constitution the case went to the House of Representatives to choose from the three highest. Clay came fourth and was our. He threw his influence for Adams and the House chose Adams. Clay was then made Adams' secretary of state jackson called this a cor- rupt bargainuz he felt that he had been cheated and did everything in his power through four years to thwart Adams. Jackson was elected in the next election. A very strange case occurred in the election of 1874. The Democratic candidate was Tilden, the Republican was Hayes. All of the electoral votes had come in except twenty from the three southern scares which were still under military control as an aftermath of the Civil Xvar. Txlden lacked only one electoral vote of having the majority needed. Then the three southern States, South Carolina, Florida, and Louisiana, sent in A double set of voces, one set for Tilden from the southern arisaocrats and one for Hayes from the new carpet-bag legislatures. composed of northern carpet-baggers and illiterate negroes and poor whites. The vice-president did not know which set of votes to count. Finally a committee of fifteen Qfrom the Senate, the House, and the Supreme Court! decided for Hayes. The seven Democrats voted for Tilden, the seven Republicans for Hayes, the Fifteenth man, who was n Republican, naturally voted for Hayes. One man decided who should be presndent. Hayes was elected by one vote just two days before time for the inauguration. Such cases do not often arnse, since potential diffkulties have largely been mken care of by the farsighted fathers of our Constiuxtlon or by later amendments. Nlany people believe we should change our system of voting for president, but until this day comes, we should do our best to vote with wisdom and foresight and pick the men whom we ourselves think to be best fitted for the responsibility.

a foreugn correspondent was born un Tuentsln Chlna although he IS of Amerucan parentage In 1937 he was pruvate secretary to Slnclalr Lewus and served a so on the edutorual staff of Tume wuth whuch he has smce a connections Because of hus famlllaruty wuth lufe un the ar East and hus knowledge of orlental customs, Hersey was sent on a three year assugntruent to Chlna and neughborung countrles On hls return he wrote hus furst book Men Bataan 119421 Close to a year later he wrote Into the Valley Thus was after he actually went unto the thuck of the flghtung wuth the Marlnes on Gaudalcanal It was thus book whuch the Councul on Books ln War Tlme placed second uts lust of oooks whuch all persons ought to read Herseys latest book A Bell for Adano classed as flctuon was wrltten after he had come back from hus asslgnment on thc Afrlcan Italuan campalgns He was one of the correspondents who entered Slculy and Italy wuth our troops Hus descruptlon of what happened un one Itallan town the Adano of the book 15 doubtless typlcal The hero of the story 15 one Major Joppolo, a naturaluzed Italuan from Brooklyn He has been wuth our troops ln Afruca Quculy, Italy Flttlngly enough after the occupatlon of southern Italy he IS 'lssugned the task of reconstructlon un Adano Beung able to speak both Itallan and Englush, beung at once one hundred per cent Amerucan and stull lovung Italy he us able to straughten out dufhcultles lncldent to war and lnvasxon He IS called Nlayor oppolo and he takes hls ofhce seruously he comes to feel for hls vlllagers all the concern that a father feels for hus chlldren As soon as he has taken over, the cutlzens beg hum to retrleve theur treasured old bell that tlll the war hung ln the tower of the town hall Thus bell IS the one thung that the whole town really wants ll had hung ln the tower for seven hundred years untul the Germans had shupped ut off to be made unto arms or bullets The town needs the bell and IS suck for lack of the famuluar notes Mayor Joppolo makes a POIHT of dolng almost everythlng the people ask If a bell 15 so lmportant' to the people he wlll get them a bell Thus u one reason why all the people of Adano love the Mayor he follows through hus promlses They trust hum as they have trusted no prevlous reconstructlon offlcer The Mayor feels thus and wants them to keep theur falth un hum He does every thung un hus power to get the orugunal bell, or one so luke that ut wull have the same meanung for them The book has some dramatuc elements There us an oppos ung force, typufled ln General Marvun Thus blunderung gen eral as lacktng un understandung as Joppolo un a sumple way us duscernlng comes early upon the scene We meet hum on hughway leadung unto Adano A short dustance from the town a jeep comung from the recently secured beach head approaches It us headed for Vucunamare, to reach whuch ut must pass through Adano Along the way the Jeep has been constantly slowed down by carts drawn by mules Now there happens to be one cart very slow that persusts ln keepung the exact center of the road and ut also happens that the jeep carrues no less a personage than General Marvun, who, as everyone knows, us very hot headed In no tume at all he has the druver and cart overturned at the sude of the road by one of hus audes Then he orders the mule to be shot As the Jeep proceeds on uts way, ut leaves behund a bewuldered and very dusconcolate old man mournung the loss of the mule, hus fruend and hus luvung At Adano the General stops long enough to leave orders wuth Mayor Joppolo no carts must be allowed to enter Adano A BELL FOR ADANO X 0 A Book Revuew O QRCVG Barbara Flemlng fGrade 123 That means no carts on the hughway Joppolo us much upset knowung that the small town wlll be at a loss wuthout the mule carts but he follows through the order Now the people of Adano pursuant to Mayor oppolos request come to see hum about theur Iroubles Very many come about the carts After a tume he reallzes that wuthout the carts there wlll be a famune of food and of drunkung water he countermands the Generals orders The carts return and vslth them content and hope Unfortunately under mllltary rule copues of orders are neces 5af'1lY made out and forwarded to superlors Thus a copy of the countermand goes to the General at Vlclnamare If accl dent or a kundly secretarv can sude track the copy the bolt may not struke Meanwhlle Mayor oppolo IS enlustung the help of all hus mllltary fruends to find a sultable bell To get a bell for an occupled town doubtless seemed rlduculous to those who dldn t understand the purpose behund ut, but the Mayor kept on He has actually the promuse of one when the copy of the counter mand pertaunung to the mule carts, long kept from the General, at long last reaches hus hand Only too well Marvun remembers the lncudent on the hlghway near Adano and he remembers Major Joppolo The countermand makes hum so angry that he concludes that the Major cannot carry through orders sat usfactoruly and us unfit to supervuse reconstructuon un Adano He sends a letter orderlng Joppolo back to the base lh north Afruca for reassugnment Knowung nothung of all thus as yet oppolo us doung a splendud puece of work un Adano Also he has found the bell--one suutable to take the place of the old one The very nught that the crated bell reaches Adano and us beung wuth dufliculty put un the tower he receuves the notuce of hus transfer There IS nothung he can do, so he makes arrangements to leave the followung mornung He does all thus secretly because he cannot say goodbye to these people whom he has grown to love The next momung he cllmbs unto a wautuny jeep and guves the druver hus destunatuon As he druves away un the early momung, there breaks upon the aur, the sound of a bell hus bell that he has restored to Adano Let hus successor tear down all that he has buult, he stull cannot take away from Adano the bell The book has the qualutues of real luterature Characteruza tuon us true and varued Major Joppolo IS a very sumple man and yet he puts thlngs over for the Italuan people ln a way that makes them stuck wuth hum The bunglung general, who stands un strong contrast to joppolo, has hus counterpart un real lufe There us both humor and pathos un the narratuve Thus us true of the espusode of the mule cart The general's temper us funny The sutuatuon for the old Italuan us tragic He has no money, only hus cart and hus mule to take hus mean supply of goods unto the town John Hersey presents the scene so well that the reader can almost see

Susie Vinson started the social whirl with an elegant party in cele- bration of her birthday. It was on September 16 that Susie's mother, Mrs. Bailie Vinson, gave the very beau- tiful party for Susie, at the Tulsa Club. Attending the luncheon were almost thirty girls, including girls from Holland Hall's eighth, ninth, and tenth grades. The afternoon was spent at the show. A week later Marilyn, another member of the Vinson family, who was born in September, celebrated. On Sunday, September 25, at half past seven, Mr. and Mrs. Vinson opened their home to Marilyn's classmates, seniors at Holland Hall, and to a few other guests including Barbara Riley, Virginia McMillin, Mary La Flore, and Jeanne Vinson.

Have you ever V1Slf2d the White House and stood in the Blue Room imagining what it would be like t l1ve there? Our own curiosity has led us to believe that maybe you too might be interested in knowing something about those who lnve held the not too easy role of first lady Let us begin with Martha Washington Nearly everyone has seen pictures of George and Martha with smooth fair skin and powdered hair typical of colonial days What was she like as a first lady? We know what she was like before this honor was bestowed on her Born 'Vlartha Dandridge ln New Kent County Virginia she was the oldest of several brothers and sisters The family lived quite elegantly and fashlonably on a plantation near Williamsburg She had brown hair hazel eyes was short quick spirited and a little sharp with her tongue She was also a devout Episcopalian Her education consisted of riot much more than learning to play the spmnet embroider nd knit dance and ride horseback She was trained to be an efficient housekeeper the future mistress of some well ordered plantation In her late teens, Martha married the wealthy Daniel Custis She was left a widow t twenty six the wealthiest widow tn Virginia A year later she met young George Washington and a few months after wards they were married They spent fifteen happy years at M Xernon Nlartha Vvashington was the ldeal planters wife busy with her needlework gardening charities house keeping cows two hundred of them During the presidency of Washington the capital was first in New York then in Philadelphia After George Washington became president Martha was hostess for the nation enter taining distinguished guests and visiting dignitaries She gave public receptions every Friday serving plum cake tea and coffee Though generally thrifty she dressed elegantly for these occasions and gave them the formality of a queens levee Full dress was expected of all In effect she dismissed her guests always before nine At that hour Washington retired with Martha preceding him Mrs Washington never joined in polxtical discussions she never voiced her opinions on urportant affalrs of state That is one reason why she is considered 1 model fo any woman whose husband public office Another vivid personalxty in the White House was Dolly Madison wife of our fourth president Those of you who aw the movit The White Cliffs of Dover will remember the young girl and her father a successful business man who went from America to England In London they stayed at a boarding house where they met an elderly gentleman who was in fact a noblem n No one however knew this He secured an invitation f r the girl to a ball at whlch the king and queen were to be present While she was there she met a young nobleman whom she later married Durlng the stay at the boarding house the girl s father and the elderly nobleman be came friends and while they were playing chess one evening the American noticed printed on the chess board the name Dolly Madison He became indignant and exclaimed Nlay I nquire sir how you happen to have a chess board that once belonged to the President s wife? the War of 1812 the capital of the United States was burned by the British An ancestor of mine took the chess board as a Souvenlr The incident is probably fictitious but is very true to the situation Another ncident that happened when Washington was burned and which relates to Dolly Madison is true While all the excitement and confusion in the capital were going on Dolly rescued a portrait of George Washington At the same time she rescued the original Declaration of Independence which was kept in a glass case before she finally fled with friends just prior to the arrival of the British The enemy broke into the mansion ransacked it stole what they could carry and then set fire to the building ueen Dolly acquired her title by the magnificent gowns she wore her beauty and the graciousness which she displayed at all times She had the knack of making everyone feel at home and the social affairs that she gave were delightfully in formal Mrs Madison had been given the honor of presiding over the Wnite House even before Mr Madison was elected president he was often hostess for President efferson who was 1 widower Even after she became first lady Dolly was as unaffected as ever She created a home for her husband at all times He always came to her when he needed rest and escape from pressing affairs When he was alone with her and her friends he lost his austenty and became friendly smiling and ready with anecdotes Her husbands career al ways came first with Dolly Madison lTo be continuedl i' 'I' 'k Q 15 i 'I' f 'I' i f i' 'I' 'I' : .

My maiden name, like many other Hungarian names, was a long one: Elizabeth Marianne Frommer de Fegyvernek. My schooling was typical of that afforded by Hungarian educational institutions. As a little girl, I attended the Evangelical School of Budapest. For my secondary education I attended the lyceum ffor girlsl. Students enter the lyceum at ten and ordinarily complete the course at eighteen. The curriculum offered is a solid one: mathematics, 8 years, Latin, 4 years, German, 8 years, French, 5 years 12 years if the student elects 5 years of Greekl, science fchemistry, physics, biology, astronomy, hygienel, 8 years, history and geography lchiefly ancient and European history, with a smaller amount of geography and American historyl, 8 years, Hungarian, religion, philosophy, home economics, singing and athletics fin the four lower classes and not heavily stressedl. Between the lyceum and the university I had several years at private schools for music, modern languages, or art. As a child I had learned the rudiments of French and English from a governess and private tutor. I now continued these and added Italian. I had several years of art work at the Kunst- schulc fur Frauen und Madchen, and other private art schools. Following these experiences I turned to travel. With no definite aim, but always with a deep interest in art and music, I sojourned successively in Austria, Czechoslovakia, Yugo- slavia, Italy, Switzerland, France. 1929 found me back in Budapest. Now I took a course in psychology offered by the Society of Individual Psychology. In connection with this, for about a yt-ar I served as educational counselor at the League for the Protection of Children. It was in 1930 that my university education began. I spent the next four years in study, carrying a major in French and Italian, and a minor in German. I hold from the University of Budapest the t'Absolutorium, the certificate for the com- pletion of work, Caught in America by World War II, I entered the graduate school of the University of Chicago. In 19-11 I received my lVlaster's degree with French as a major. In the time since I have held fellowships from the University 1 6 November, of Chicago for research leading to the Ph.D. degree. In- cidentally, I have taught in the University of Chicago High School and have taught French and Italian to singers in the Chicago lVlusical College. As the 19-13-44 Enclycopoedia Britannical' fellow I have, in recent months, been engaged in revising articles on French, Italian and Hungarian literature. Indeed, I should at this moment be looking for errors in the encyclopoedia had I not preferred to come to Holland Hall. Before I came to Holland Hall 4 that includes much beside schooling. I lived through Xvorld War I, and can very well recall the Sunday afternoon in a small summer resort on Lake Balaton fHungary1, when I suddenly heard a man walking through the streets of the village beating his drum to call the attention of the inhabitants and telling all men of military age to join their regiments. Even in peace time military service was compulsory, one year for officers, three for privates. just before the armistice of November 11, 1918, Hungarian soldiers refused to go on fighting. It was at this time that the Socialist Revolution under Count Karolyi took place. We were driven from our home, my father from his position. In the following March the Social- ists were put down and the Communists took over, in August of 1919 the Communists in turn were put down when Rumanian troops briefly occupied the city. During the Communist regime there was great scarcity of food and I can recall that my father, who had always painted for his own pleasure as a hobby, painted a portrait at this time - for a goose. Farmers refused to sell produce for money released by the Communist government. The Rumanians on arrival had walked through the streets blowing their trumpets and I recall that there was always one false note in their melody. They did not stay long, but long enough to carry away my father's prized collection of arms. Very soon Horthy, a native Hungarian, and his white troops took over. Hungary is a kingdom, but three times in her history she has had a governor instead of a king. Horthy is that third governor, he still heads the Hungarian government. I have lived in history-making times. I can recall the old Francis Joseph, tmperor of Austria and king of Hungary, who lived on till 1916. And I had the opportunity to see at close range the then crown prince, later the Emperor Charles, who lost his throne at the close of World War I when most thrones were toppling. He made two attempts to re-enter Hungary, one of the most important helpers was a high ofiicer by the name of Lehar, brother of the composer of Merry Widotv vialtz. Charles died in exile, His son, Otto, is now in Canada. His mother, Zita, has trained him for royal duties should the chance ever come . . . I have personally escaped World War II, I have received my first American citizenship papers, but I know that again my mother in Budapest has been banished from her home. 1944 - MISS HOLLAND HALL By MARILYN VINSON 0 Fxctxon Editor 1Grade 123 1 Loolclng, over the water I see the same thlngs I have always seen before at this season the trees turn mg crimson 'tnd gold and the coves still and serene ev n tvhll L 1 tl-e bav the water seems treacherous One cannot see famllxar scenes without a memory or two ITIEIHOKICS of walks m the sunset Wlth the wind sweep :ng Inland over the pomt to meet whoever dares to trespass But we were never really trespassers for Howard really loved the sea with all lts moods and dangers I have felt thxs when I walked beslde him along the cliff top I have felt It when we ventured 1n his Mermaid out to sea I used to watch htm vhen the first break voulcl blow up and take hold of tht sails the expression on his face was somethmg I ll never forget Long after the memory of his voice or the touch of hls hand has faded I shall remember that look H15 love for the sea was second to none lt went far past my comprehenslon EJDID Jltltl ers I cannot help remembermg the first flowers he ever gave me these summer wxld flowers which we grew to love Sprmg was always the best tlme of t year, for mt seemed as lf the whole world had aw kened and even the ram fallecl to dampen our SPIFIIS Llfe was all spring then Many a tlme at twlllght we would climb the hlll ln back of the vlllage and from that remote spot look out over the sea to the stars beyond I learned of hns plans for the future, hxs hopes his dreams That was ln the fall of 1941 After Pearl Harbor the winter seemed colder the sea and sky seemed dark and unfnendly Howard hated hghtmg and suflermg and everything that goes with war But he loved hls country and he loved me and to protect us he had to hate and fight and klll I-Ie was accepted by the Unlted States Navy and was assxgned to duty m the Pacific The years have passed he has not been back Today I hold ln my hand a Today as Fwmiz-back fnroughefrre' the paths we made together, trudgmg han ln han over leaves and snow and mud or even s mer How S 40 ferret' a tier of wtTrcl'r1'srrat'r atwaysrue proud 1 IS l lOl only fOI' ITIS, but for all who love ln the flfnf hatred 1 GST up 6, D 77 o ?'9s 6 9963 617, I o o JSC? 7 6 6 '7f,. 0 7 7 Uno ht, 0, r 7q' F you A' Oo cf Q ace I 7 ' 9 0 Pr r 'I O Def' o Ur r,7 I 6 7, o 4 '7 y 0 L ,O 7 C J 0,77eX 7077 'e ao Oh 9 9 Q' on '11 re 'Y I7 5 IV 11 S J' rv 'I 0 u '7?p I 9 l96L YU f no 0 S y lfh O no etur- '70 Or , G o 4 r 9 f gr- '7 a d Q 7 eel 6- 0 G ey f ,V 69 677 10,78 ce 11, I 6 7 d 6 J' ,77 Q 9 f 6 6- '72 lj I ' 6 Or be Q' 6 O Am' v ' 'bf' 'Of eh ' OU! n 11 P 'V lv will 1, Q' 0' Q' gui all o o 7 7,9 D7 9 I' dfe Qnd 9 6 Now, as I walk past hls house, though I do no rn my head, I ca no help notxcmg perhaps for the last txme, as I am leavmg tomorrow a solitary gold st n the wmd MISS HOLLAND HALL Novembr,1944 I . . r J Q' r r l I .. e .

February is a good month to begin a second semester. It is the month or Washingtonls birthday, Washington who, well-rooted in an old tradition, laid a foundation for the new. It is also the month of Lincolnys birthday, Lincoln who by candlelight and a few great books secured for himself an education, a training which produced the Gettysburg address. Mid year examinations give you a good opportunity to measure just how good an education you have been getting for yourself The standards by which you are graded and the content of courses you have been given are not set by the whims of the school or teacher In an independent college preparatory school you must meet standards of performance accepted throughout the country Exstminations test con tent, to be sure, 'ind even more they tell you important things 'about yourself how thoroughly you have worked from day to day, with what judgment you can choose material, how well you can work under pressure and just what is your command of your language If a work of art is only one tenth inspiration, this is certainly true of your school work Most adults looking back on their school life 'ire lucky to find one teacher, the memory of whom is bright and clear whose influence perh'ips not recognized at the time, affected their lives Teachers all set paths for you to travel, and do you bless the one who puts greater obstacles in your way and makes it increasingly difficult for you to travel with complacency?

Th open only to seniors, who themselves have no vote. e honor awarded each year is THE IMPORTANCE OF A W'IDE VOCABULARY By Helene Lake, Editor Do you really know the English language? Do you have an adequate working vocabulary? Do you even know whether you are strong or weak at this point? Many of us fail to realize the importance of these questions. Yet a large vocabulary is essential to success in almost any occupation. To those of us who are preparing to enter college soon, it is doubly important, In an old file of the Parents' Magazine there is an article entitled, Is Your Boy or Girl College Material? I mention it here because one of the qualifications stressed is a wide vocabulary. The author lays down the proposition that if a boy or girl is to succeed in college, he must have a fair degree of bookish ability. He attempts to show how it is possible to determine whether or not a student has this ability by asking certain questions, One of these questions is, Has the student an I.Q. of 1ZO? Another of the more important questions is, Has the student a wide and accurate working vocabulary? The author believes the latter absolutely essential to success in college and happily it is one of the things that can be acquired. It will to a certain extent make up for other de- ficiencies. For instance, if a student has an I.Q. of 110 instead of 120, a superior vocabulary will perhaps take the place of the missing ten points. Now, since we cannot change the intelligence quotient with which we were born, but can improve our vocabularies immeasurably, does it not seem like a good idea for us to take advantage of this means to success? To supplement a limited vocabulary and to obtain a working knowledge of the English language, a number of upper class Holland Hall students have begun a class in word-study, which, by the way, they have found very interesting. They are spending a great deal of time on the derivation of words. A knowledge of the more important Greek and Latin prefixes, roots, and sufhxes, they Find, makes it possible to arrive easily at the meaning of a new word. Newspapers and magazines also serve as textvbooks in word study. These contain many words that changing political and economic conditions bring into prominence. The war and the peace proposals have brought to light certain curious words. Among these are chauvinist, jingoist,'7 decimate. Chauvinist is derived from the name of Nicolas Chauvin, of Rochefort, France, a soldier of the First Republic and Empire, who was known for his demonstrative patriotism and attachment to Napoleon. The word today has come to mean one who shows exaggerated patriotism. The chauvinists have adopted a feeling of such nationalist feeling that they favor the policy of isolation. Jingo- ist is almost synonymous with chauvinist, its literal meaning being one who sup- ports a bellicose policy in foreign affairs. Decimate is a word descended from the Latin. In the Roman army if they could not find the actual ring-leaders of a re- bellion, they punished the legion by having every tenth man step out for execu- tion. Hitler has followed this idea a little in the present war, though he has pun- ished every third or fourth man instead of every tenth. The word, through much use, has come to mean to destroy a large part of anything. The Latin element in our language is large and supplies most of our abstract words. It gives us also picturesque words. The Latin words for common animals appear in many English words. 'lLeo, which means lion is a boy's name and is suggestive of Fierce strength. From equus, meaning horse, we get the word equestrian, which means pertaining to horsemanship. As was explained in the beginning of this article, statistics show that a wide vocabulary is apt to run parallel to success in college. It is also very helpful in certain types of business. We, who are in school, are doing our best to improve our use of English through our study of foreign languages and through our word-study class. For those of you who are out of school there are two methods of improvement: to note new words as you hear them spoken or see them in print, and to look up the new words encountered in reading. We dislike interrupting ourselves in the midst of a story or article to consult the dictionary, but we should remember that the slight exertion involved will be amply repaid in a fuller command of our own speech.

The original by Mrs. Anna Leonowens had appeared in two volumes, The English Governess in the Siamese Court in 1870, and The Romance of the Harem in 1872. The new and more simplified version is entitled Anna and the King of Siam,U written by Margaret Landon, and illustrated by Margaret Ayer. Mrs. Landon first became interested in Mrs. Leonowens when a friend lent her The English Governessv with the comment, I-1ere's a book you ought to read. The Siamese government did everything in its power to keep it from being published. Mrs. Landon became so enthusiastic about Anna that she urged some of her American friends to read the book. After they had read a few pages they complained that the language of the Victorian era was too heavy for modern ears and convenient reading. One, however, admitted that the book was interesting and suggested to Mrs. Landon that she rewrite the books, using the high points and experiences and omitting the lengthy descriptions and dis- cussions. This was the pin-prick from which the present book evolved. For those who have not yet had access to this work, a brief summary may be of interest. Anna Leonowens was born in the old quaint village of Carnarvon, Wales, in 1834. At six, her British army captain father sailed for service in India, leav- ing her with a relative who conducted a school for girls. At seven, she was told that he had died a soldier's death. When she reached her sixteenth year, she sailed to India to join her mother and step-father who lived in Poona. From the very first night the condition of the servants and slaves troubled her mind. This was soon forgotten, however, when she met and fell in love with the young and dashing Major Leonowens. Against the wishes of her family, she was married quietly in 1851 and settled down to a happy life on Malabar Hill in Bombay. In that year, because of illness and the shock brought about by the death of her mother and her own infant daughter, the doctor prescribed a change of climate. In London, two more children were born before- Leon was-transferred to Sing- apore. Death still followed Annaf On a tiger hunt, Leon suffered a paralytic stroke and Anna was left a widow in a strange country without any means of support. In 1762, negotiations having been completed with the Siam- ese court, Anna arrived, accompanied by her six-year old son, in Bangkok to take up a position as governess to the Emperor's wives and children. The city is situated near the mouth of the Chow Phya River. It was a frightened woman indeed who looked out over the side of the steamer to a city filled with 8 strangers speaking an unknown tongue. There was one cheer- ful thought, nevertheless, for the king had guaranteed a brick residence outside of the palace gates. The summons for the beginning of school did not come for some time and Anna enjoyed seeing many of the sights of Bangkok. The first event was the ceremonies incident to the cremation of the late queen consort. Anna was greatly surprised to find that there were no signs of weeping or sad- ness but rather a festive air. Following the cremation, several weeks were spent by Anna in a very determined study of the Siamese language. Later she began the study of Sanskrit under the tutelage of an old Indian servant. Her first Siam- ese conversations were halting ones carried on with the women of the harem in such stilted phrases as, Are you well? and What do you call this? and the like. At last, late in the month of May, the king sent for Anna. The king insisted that Anna live within the palace and even within the royal harem. The very thought sickened the English- woman. She was aware of the fact that the king wanted to go back on his promise of a business relationship and secure an English wife for his harem. She declined in no uncertain terms. Then the twisted mind of the king devised a plan to coerce her. He sent a guide to Anna with the message that he had found a brick residence outside of the palace gates yet close enough to provide for quick communication. The house proved to be a wretched and filthy hovel located in the midst of the native fish market. When she had at last reached again her apartment in the palace of the premier, she was consumed for the next two weeks with a violent fever. Two more months of inactivity followed, and then the premier suggested that she begin a school and teach the members of his household. Finally one morning before the opening of the school day, the mistress of the palace came to her with the tidings that she had found a place for Anna and her household to live. A great deal of soap and water made the place fit to live in and the routine life began in earnest. The school was started soon after. Anna was instrumental in aiding many of the women slaves and ladies of the harem in escaping the wrath of their lord and master. Soon, through- out the city she became known as the White Angel. People from every corner of the city came to her, begging her to in- tercede with the king for them. One of these instances con- cerned the slave L'Ore. It happened thus: While Anna was on her way by invitation to services in one of the temples, she became lost in the maze of harem streets. At the end of one of these streets, she chanced to see a brass door: her curiosity was aroused and she opened the door and advanced very cautiously into the courtyard. She was quite startled to find a woman sitting there and thought that she, hereself, had intruded. Upon closer investigation, she found that the woman was half naked and was chained to a short stake by the foun- tain. In her arms, she held a small boy of about four. She seemed at first reluctant to answer Anna's questions, but finally she was coaxed into telling her story. She had been the slave ofasnoble lady, Chao Chom Manda Ung and had fallen in love with ri merchant. She had planned to buy her freedom in the hopes of marrying the merchant. When, eventually, she had saved the price of freedom, she presented it to her mistress. Chao Chom Manda Ung refused, but L'Ore devised a means of escape. She dived into the waters of the Chow Phya River and swam under water to the city of Bangkok. There she wed the merchant, Naikodah, and lived in complete happiness for 1Continued to page 281 February, 1945 - MISS HOLLAND HALL e Third CORILIE ANN CHAPMAN Non Fiction Editor lGrade 121 EDITH CAROW ROOSEVELT The Mrs Roosevelt who occupied the White House from 1901 to 1909 was the second wife of Theodore Roosevelt She was a very domestic person She looked after all the house hold herself and always discussed domestic affairs with the President even though he had no desire to hear them It was under Mrs Roosevelt that the female cabinet meet ings first got their start At her invitation the wives f cabinet members gathered once a week in the library of the White House to discuss affairs pertaining to the female branch of the Administration They were no different from other ladies when it came t gossip reputations were made and unmade Knitting was a favorite occupation and subject for discussion with Mrs Roosevelt taking the initiative and ex plaining to everyone s advantage some complicated and hitherto unheard of stitch There were six Roosevelt children Archie and uentin who were just babies were the smallest Ethel and Kermit were close in age and inseparable Ethel not permitting Kermit to outdo her in anything The escapades of these two alone were enough completely to startle any stranger to the family ways Teddy and Alice completed the group Alice being the daughter of the first Mrs Roosevelt The Roosevelt children were very hearty and high spirited They took over the White House immediately exploring every nook and cranny They loved to roller skate and bicycle ride over the smooth hard wood floors and to play leap frog over the furniture no matter how good the pieces might be Pets of the household were allowed to use the furniture for resting places and no bed or chair vias too fine for their use The little spotted pony was gixen free access to the children s bed rooms They would take him for rides in the elevator a distance of two floors from the basement to the childrens quarters On the whole the Roosevelt family preferred quiet evenings at home, The entire clan were reading enthusiasts. They al- ways went to bed not later than ten-thirty. The exception was Alice flater Mrs. Nicholas Longworthl who went in for social life in a big way. She was to be a Wfhite House bride. She was entertained more than anyone else within the recollection of the oldest inhabitant of the White House. For two years before her marriage there was not an evening including Sundays when a party was not being given in her honor. This con- tinued until her wedding day. Alice Roosevelt's wedding was a very elaborate affair. Alice herself. was a very socially minded person. Seven hundred invitations were issued and nearly everyone invited attended. Preparations were going on months and for weeks in advance wedding presents began coming in. They included everything from a paper of pins from an old lady to all kinds of precious jewels. The wedding march began in the dining-room and proceeded to the East Room on the opposite side of the house where the ceremony was held. Afterwards the dining-room and breakfast-room were thrown open and everyone had a good time. No regular meals were served the rest of the day, for the servants seemed to be taking as active a part in the celea brating as the guests. On this occasion all appeared to be on equal terms. GRACE GOODHUE COOLIDGE Like Mrs Roosevelt Mrs Coolidge had seen Washington society as wife of a vice president before her husband was advanced to the presidency At the time when she was first lady she was a very attractive woman with beautiful dark hazel eyes and clear complexion She was able to wear more different colors successfully than most other women President Coolidge was very much interested in his wifes clothes He liked handsome and elaborate dresses and was especially fond of bright colors glittering beads and other conspicuous orna ments In fact Mrs Coolidges clothes were his main extra vagance in as much as ordinarily he was a very economical and conservative man He never wanted her to wear the same dress twice to a state reception One time Mrs Coolidge was being fitted in a beautiful heavy white satin brocade gown The dress was very simple with a graceful skirt down to the instep and an unusually long court train The first lady was standing before the tall mirror the fitter on her knees adjust ing the train and the White House secretary standing by when President Coolidge strolled in Mrs Coolidge inquired Wfhat do you think of it Very handsome dress was his comment after a prolonged and critical survey Then everyones horror he calmly walked up the long white train which extended for yards on the floor exactly as if he were pacing off the length of the material Mrs Coolidge and the fitter let forth a shriek and the secretary who had been in the White House for a number of years sternly said blr President get right off that train With a twinkle in his eye he got off and strolled slowly out of the room Luckily no damage was done Another time the first lady and the secretary had been shopping and Mrs Coolidge had purchased two hats They were unpacked and laid on her bed as soon as they were de- livered. Wfhen the two women entered the bed-room Mr. Coolidge was standing by the bed with his hands behind his back and disapproval written on his face. 'What's the matter? was lVIrs. Coolidge s inquiry, ' Dont think much of those was his short reply, Where s the trimming?' The ladies told him firmly 'Trimming isn't the fashion just now. And Mrs. Coolidge added The trouble with him is that he likes the hats in which he first remembers me ' the years when a hat was no hat at all unless it had flowers and feathers and bows all over it weighed pounds and was as big as a cart-wheel in the bargain. Nlrs. Coolidge and the President were very devoted parents to two sons, ohn and Calvin . They were seventeen and fifteen respectively when they moved into the White House in 1923. It was a year later that tragedy came. One Monday ohn and Calvin were playing tennis on the White House -ourt. Calvin could not find the socks he wanted so h ,vent ahead and just wore his sneakers on his bare feet and olistered one of his toes. Nothing was thought of it till Xvednesday.

After the numbered. aluminum bracelet had been fastened around the leg of each with pliers, the birds were released. and flew joyously into the sky, much to the delight and envy of the biology class looking on. The demonstration was arranged for by Mr. Hugh Davis. director of the Tulsa Zoo at Nlohawk Park. Wfhy are birds banded? Although bird migration was speculated upon by the ancients. it is still one of the great mysteries of nature. Why do birds migrate? Where do they go? The complete answers to these questions are yet to be found. However, the placing of such an identifying band, the number, place, and date being carefully recorded, has given much valuable information whenever the bird has later been captured. Knowledge of migration routes and breeding grounds, as well as length of life, plumage changes, and many other living activities of birds has been greatly added to in this way. It all began more than two hundred years ago when a gray heron bearing on its its legs some metal rings was found in Europe. It was discovered later that they had been put there by a man living in Turkey who was curious to find out how far the bird would Hy. The first man to band birds in this country was John James Audubon who started the practice in 1803. He was the famous bird artist of early America for whom the Audubon Societies are named. At the end of the century, Mortensen. a Dane, began experimenting with the banding of storks and starlings. Interest continued in Denmark and the rest of Europe until the outbreak of the present war: much had also been done in Japan. Systematic banding has been done in the United States since 1909, and is now under the direction of the Fish and MISS HOLLAND HALL - February, 1945 Wfild Life Service in Wfashington, D. C. This bureau main- tains about 1,200 trapping and banding stations at various places all over the nation by giving special permits to in- terested persons. When a bird is trapped, a thin aluminum band is attached pninlessly to its leg. This bears, in addition to a serial nume her, the request. Notify F. and Wild Life Service, Wash- ington, D. C. Accurate records of the numbers and kinds of birds so marked are sent from each station to Washington, and in turn, any information later received there is sent back to the bander. When birds are found dead, such a band is sent in with the location and name of the finder. Often a banded bird is trapped in some other station. Then his number and location are sent in to the Service, and the bird again released, Nlany birds bearing United States bands have been found in Canada, Mexico, Central and South America. Since 1938. Mr, Davis, with some help from the local Audubon Society, has trapped and banded at the Tulsa city reservoirs, 15,415 waterfowl and 917 other birds. Returns have been received from 1,455 of these, all of them ducks, most of them mallards. These range from a blue-winged teal picked up in Cartegena, Columbia, to a pintail duck found dead near Carmacks, Yukon Territory. A great ma- jority of the returns have come from southern Canada and northern United States, some from Texas and Mexico, almost none west of the Rockies or east of the Mississippi River, Some of the records show that ducks pass through Tulsa as long as three years after their banding date. Our data in- dicate that Tulsa lies in that migration route which bird students have named The Great Plains Flywayf' When will our Holland Hall lVlallards fly this way again? .

were recexvmg valentines from at least one little boy ln the class But at last they had all been dlstrlbuted and Elizabeth Ann had falled to receive even one She just could not walk home with the girls this afternoon She could not embarrass herself nn front of that group of whxspernng gxggllng and very happy llttle gurls who would be walklng home together after school The very thought of last Valentmes Day made Elxzabeth Ann grow hot and uncomfortable Thls uneasiness lncreased as she watched the valentines bemg glven out The room was ln a general hub bub as colorful and flowery messages were recexved by gxgglmg lxttle gurls and somewhat embarrassed llttle boys Elxzabeth Ann notlced apprehenslvely that the boy across the aisle lmmy kept looklng at her expectantly She was sure he had recelved her valentlne she had sent one to everyone IH the class Then Elxzabeth Ann heard her name bemg called and a moment later an envelope with her name on it was placed n front of her She sat

Teale 4Virginia Arnoldl, who decided to popularize the acquiring of an Alumnae Fund. This is one of two dolls which Mrs. Teale bought, dressed in the school uniforms of Upper and Lower School, and sent over to Holland Hall for any who wished to take chances on. An order for a third doll was filled for a mother whose daughter did not hold the lucky ticket, but who admired the doll. The dolls cost 35.00 each in the shop, but even so, they netted close to 824.00 for the fund. The winner of the doll in Lower School uniform was Dianne Jackson of the first grade. Mrs. J. H. Feemster won the doll in the Upper School unifonn and very promptly donated it to the Holland Hall Room at St. John's Hospital. After sitting-or rather standing-for her picture, little Miss Holland Hall left for Twenty- first and Utica. Visit the Holland Hall Room at St. John's Hospital and make the acquaintance of what- ever little patient may be occupying our bed and make the acquaintance also of little Miss Holland Hall.
