Wsavf' ELEANOR HASTINGS MCCORMACK Principal B.A., lVl.A., Radcliffe College MW' TO YOUTHI By Eleanor H. McCormack Child, I would cherish you, Not for my own, But for yourself, Help you to grow, Holding your dreams In the face of the world, Helping you not to grow callous And cold to the unseen. I should not come too close And stifle you with anxious carey Merely be by When life becomes Loo quiveringly real, To give an understanding smile That you may build about your dreams No higher wall Than you may leap with ease and frequency. I would that life should always hurt you And you be unafraid of pain. Then having watched unwatched, I would draw quietly aside, Happy char you had grown To need me by no more.

Miss Sharp The junior class started out this year with six old faces and three new ones in their midst. Among the veteran students were Jean Ache, Margaret Evans, Maurine Johnson, Kitty Ledbetter, Marion McMillin, and Marilyn Sexton. The new girls who were busy learning all the ropes were Mary Louise Hall, Pat O'Shea, Joan Story, and Maryanne Harwood, who entered in the second semester. We started out with a bang this year, and our class was well represented in almost everything. Jean Ache was elected Student Council vice-president, Marilyn Sexton, Student Council representative, Joan Story, president of the Red Cross, and Mary Louise Hall, Athletic Association representative. Much credit is given to Maurine Johnson for the Thanksgiving and Christmas luncheon-table decora- tions, and all of our Holland Hall guests are very cordially welcomed by Kitty Ledbetter. Even our magazine, MISS HOLLAND HALL, has had the juniors' support with Marion McMillin as the business manager and Mary Louise Hall as the class reporter and associate editor on the staff, 'but the real climax came when Joan Story,s design was used for the cover of the first issue of MISS HOLLAND HALL. The first main event of the year was Field Day, and the juniors turned out full force behind their booth, decorated with green and yellow crepe paper, to sell cokes and doughnuts, while in the baseball game between the dads and daughters Marion McMillin, as second baseman, was in there hitting for us. The happy results of our Field Day concession, as Pat O'Shea, our treasurer, told us, amounted to 55479. About this tirne Christmas came and with it the event that all the juniors had been looking forward to very anxiously: the crowning of the Christmas queen. Jean Ache was chosen as the queen, and the girls were all so proud of her as she stood there in a white dress with a crown and bouquet of red roses. Copy for the 1946 class prophecy became. due about that time, and the juniors racked and pounded their brains trying to think of something to say in it. The task was achieved and at long last with shaking knees and hearts that didn't seem to be there, they gave the play before a very enthusiastic audience on Class Day. They still had the pleasure of looking forward to the commencement exercises and holding the arches for the seniors. However, the best of all would come after that at the commencement dance, which they had been planning fofr months, when they would receive their class rings and welcome with glad hearts the vacation months ahead.

Among the new class members were Rosemary Tlraugh and Delma Jo Mason, both of Oklahoma City, Ruby Webb of Wichita, Kansas, and Celia Nesbitt of Tulsa. We displayed our class colors, fuchsia and blue, at our sandwich booth on Field Day. Through our Field Day concession we replenished our treasury with the amazing amount of 55156. We have kept together even during our holidays. The main event of the Thanksgiving vacation was the Tulsa University-Arkansas football game, played in Tulsa. Seen in the grandstand munching hot dogs and sipping cokesvwere Julie Flint, Sally White, Tish Moran, and Frances McMillin. During the first of the New Year our class could be seen cutting confetti and making ,streamers for the Mardi Gras dance, which was set for March 2. The dance was a big success with our lovely queen, Celia Nesbitt, reigning over the festivities. Sam Hulse was named king and little Diane Jackson was crown bearer. Attendants were Margaret Ann Evans, Jack Smith, Virginia Ruprecht, and Wanren Butler. Large ballaoons and streamers formed the decorations. In the latter part of the evening confetti filled the air. Everyone had a gay time dancing. On March 15 came Tish Moran's birthday party to the school. This has come to be an annual event and it is certainly one of the outstanding events of the school calendar. Tish presided at the cutting of a many tiered, flower-decorated cake. One of the main attractions of the year has been the O.M.A. dancing classes. Among the sophomores who have attended are Margaret Foster, Delma Jo Mason, Rosemary Traugh, and Ruby Webb. The sophomore class has been represented in most school activities. Celia Nesbitt has served as secretary of the Holland Hall chapter of Junior Red Cross. Frances McMillin has served as secretary of the Student Council. Ruby Webb has held the office of secretary of the Athletic Association. In April Celia Nesbitt and Ruby Webb represented the French classes in a state-wide French con- test. Among the candidates in the Tulsa preliminaries, Ruby ranked third and ca.me out with a score of 111 as against the winner's 114. Now that the end of school is here, we know that while we shall enjoy to the fullest our thsree months' vacation, we shall still be looking forward to next fall when we'1l be juniors.

We started our gay school year with occasional cat naps on the part of Ginny Ruprecht and those amazingly correct an- swers from Milly Wilson. But suddenly our sponsor told us that we were to give a play and she had picked it out for us. It was ucinderellai' as a musical comedy. Well, after tryouts and many disappointments, Debby Page was chosen Cinderella, Mary Lee Mulhall the Prince, Katty White and Ginny Ruprecht the Proud Sisters, and Diana Kirk the Fairy God- mother. The rest of the class were dancers at the Princeis ball. The date was October nineteenth. After this responsibility was over, things went beautifully until one day we awoke to the frightening fact that we were going to give a dance for the entire Upper School. The date was scheduled for November thirtieth and we set to work in earnest. Our home-room was as busy as an ant hill. There were so many worried committees that we wondered which would collapse with nervous breakdown first. Finally, the all- important day came and we threw our dance. Whew! In spite of all our uncertainties, everybody had a perfectly super time and after the next Monday's hen session, we settled down to work. Semester exams came and passed. Most of us passed out with them Margaret Anne Graham Diana Kirk 2 w. V-we m if V k Marv I-C9 Mulhall Nlartha Jane Hoke fexception, Miss Vlfilsonj. Finally all thirteen of us revived and started out on our second semester. We have participated in a good many activities. Margaret Anne Graham appeared in a solo performance at the Ice Travaganza, staged at the Coli- seuni on the hrsg second and.thin1 of hdarch. Cln the sanae prograni Carohne CHarke appeared in the Club Ckndhon and.three other group numbers. Several of our class have ridden at Charles' Riding Academy this year. Among these are Caroline Clarke, Martha l-loke, Mary Lee Mulhall, Debby Page, Milly Wilson. Among those who have attended the weekly O.M.A. dancing classes at Claremore are Caroline Clarke, Marie Coyle, Margaret Anne Graham, Martha Hoke, Diana Kirk, Nlartha McCabe, Mary Lee Mulhall, Debby Page, Julia Ann Park, lVlilly Wilson. We have supported the Cotillion Club dances both by committee service and by attendance. Especially enjoyable was the second Cotillion Club Dance, to the success of which the thirty O.M.A. cadets attending contributed no little. In taking the cooperative exams in April we made our last hurdle but one, the final exams. As this book goes to press, we feel that we have had enough of school to last us till next fall, when we shall return as sopho- mores for another eventful year. r . .

First in order was the election of class ofiicers. Next we elected our Student Council and Red Cross Council representa- tives, Ann Henry for the former and Pattie Chapman and Barbara McGill for the latter. We chose lavender and purple for our class colors and all types of canine pets for our mascots. A shelf in a corner of our home-room displays a collection of dogs which the girls have donated. The first big event of the year was Field Day, October 18. The eighth grade took a big part in this event. The afternoon was spent decorating our boo-th with festive lavender and purple streamers. That evening our assorted relish plates were enjoyed by all. On November sixteenth, to celebrate National Education Week, the seventh and eighth grades presented an assembly program. Our part in this consisted of various reports and a short skit entitled, The Romance of the Busy Broker. The leading characters in the skit were Josephine Davis as the Busy Broker and Ann Bailliere as his stenographer. On Monday, April fifteenth, at the morning assembly, the eighth grade pro- duced a play entitled, Exclusive Model. The story turned on the fact that a young society matron fAnn Henry, had paid 524.98 for a Vogue hat and her hus- band fAnn Arnold, objected to the bill. Her friend, another young matron fSally Tealej, had bought a copy for 53.50. Ann,s maid Uoey Canterbury, turned up with yet another copy, which she says she got from a Salvation Army rummage barrel. Humorous complications resulted. The cast included Ann Henry as Winnie Vincent, Ann Arnold as Robert Vincent, the outraged husband, Sally Teal-: as Ethel Hamilton, Meg Simpson as Jack Hamilton, the indulgent husband, Joey Canterbury, Ann's Scandinavian maid. The play was directed by Jane Marshall and sponsored 'by Mrs. E. Kiker. On May seventeenth, together with the ninth and tenth grades, we gave the third Cotillion Club dance. The dances of February twenty-second and of March twenty-ninth were both informal and held at the school, the last dance was a formal, held on the tennis court at Oakwoild. This dance was open to friends, both girls and boys, outside our school. Again this year, the eighth grade gave the traditional party to welcome the seventh grade into the Upper School. It was a swimming party held at Oakwold. We have enjoyed our year at Holland Hall under the guidance of Mrs. Pishel, our home-room teacher, but we shall be very proud when we are freshmen at last.

Page 42 Our class motto is BUSY, NOT BUZZY fto our regret sometimes reversed? and we try to live up to its meaning. Field Day, October 18, challenged our wits. We went into a huddle and emerged with an idea. We enlisted our Q'Moms,, and sold hamburgers. Thanks to them our bank balance is gratifying. Other school projects found us. equally zealous. Each quarter we struggled with words and phrases trying to create poems and stories worthy of publication in MISS HOLLAND HALL, our school magazine. How we enjoyed the fruit of our labors! Each of us worked long and tediously to produce the most original and attractive drawing for the cover of our December and April issues. Nancy Key, a newcomer, won this honor at Easter time. Activities afford a diversified program. We play hockey in the fall and the less strenuous games of kickball and baseball in the spring. Nancy Lackey is captain of the Lower School Sakawasf and Laura Clarke holds the same honor for the Wanatas. Three times a week Charles' Riding Academy gives us excellent in- struction in correct form and riding technique. Classes in cooking and sewing also break what might be otherwise a monotonous routine. Dramatics and speech arouse great interest. Each of us competed in the declamatory contest. Those who won in the finals were: Peggy Wilson, first, Nancy Key and Nancy Lackey fa tiej, second, Jeannie Warren, third. In November we appeared in assembly, relating the story of I-low Words Matched into Print. A mystery play, The End of the Rainbowf, was presented on March 28. In English we learn parliamentary procedure and are given each Friday's class period to put it into practice. The program committee plans lessons and with the officers in charge the class carries on almost independent of the sponsor. In spite of many extra-curricular activities, we strive diligently to maintain the high academic standards exacted of Holland, Hall girls. A thorough knowledge of the fundamentals in the three R's is attained by consistent daily drill. Graph charts posted about the room reveal our growth and encourage us to greater efforts. GRADE 6 fMrs. Kikerl Left to right: Marie Dick- ason, Suzanne Lindsay fstandingj, Cadijah Hel- merich, Martha Canter- bury fstandingl, Eddie May Gregory, Kaye Creekmore. In September we returned to school eager to find what the new year would bring. School projects absorbed some of our interests. MISS HOLLAND HALL, our school publication, stimulated our creative ability and we looked forward to seeing our poems, stories, and jokes in print. When the call came to solicit ads for the support of our annual, EIGHT ACRES, we rallied enthusiastically. Our class had the highest percentage in both participants and winners. Kaye Creek- more, Marie Dickason, and Cadijah Helimerich steered autos, Suzanne Lindsay took to the skates, Martha Canterbury came along in the Kiddie-Kar. In the bond drive of last December, Martha Canterbury topped the sales for the school and was crowned Victory Queen in an impressive ceremony. Activities present opportunity for varied talents. Gym is our favorite, especially such competitive games as soccer, baseball, and kickball. Martha Canterbury is co-captain of the Sakawas and Suzanne Lindsay holds the same honor for the Wanatas. Art is our choice of indoor activities. We draw, paint, design and model clay. It's fun to illustrate the books and stories we have read. In a city art contest sponsored by the A.A.U.W., Cadijah Helmerich won first place among entdes fronm dxth grade suldents VVe ako enjoy draniadcs and speech. Each girl searched carefully for a poem suitable for the declamatory competition. Win- ners in the Hnals were: Cadijah Helmerich, first, Suzanne Lindsay, second, Kaye Creekmore and Marie Dickason, a tie for third. Daily drill in reading, spelling, and arithmetic ground us in the fundamentals so necessary for further advancement. Mrs. Peters works patiently to give us a Hne bash for higher French. Csraph charts posted conspicuously encourage us to extend our efforts. Eddie May Gregory has held top place on our reading chart throughout the year, as well as making the highest average on achievement tests. We are known as uthe class with a thirst for knowledge. Our aim is to be worthy of this characterization.

Page 44 This year found the fourth and Hfth grades together, a different grouping from heretofore. Our former room in the new south wing of the building became the home-room of the second and third grades, while we moved into the room just north of the art studio and just across from the home-room of the sixth and seventh grades. This proximity to the seniors of the Lower School gave us a feeling of arriving Field Day was as usual our hrst big day. Cake, candy, and cookies disappeared from our concession booth as if by magic and the result added substantially to our treasury. We began too the collection of class dues, amounting to ten cents a month, and in this way we defrayed the expense of our April Fool party. With what competitive enthusiasm did we plan for, decorate, and contribute to the book exhibit which was a feature of the October Parents' Association meet- ing. The fifth grade had as a theme Animal and Bird Boolcsf' while the fourth grade chose Pioneer Days. We had,,four outings this year: one to the Banfield Brothers' Packing Company. where we were initiated into the mystery of what goes into wieners, one to the Mohawk zoo and bird house, complementary to our class-room study of animals, reptiles, and birds, a third to the Will Rogers' Memorial at Claremore, a fourth to Philbrook Art Museum in Tulsa to see the children,s art exhibit sponsored by the Tulsa branch of A.A.U.W. Our assembly programs included a play, :'Sam and the XVitch, given on Hal- lowe'en by the fourth grade, fables dramatized by the fifth grade, a puppet show given by the fourth grade in French and entitled Le Petit Chaperon Rouge? In addition to these the fifth grade presented a shadow play at the Lower School assembly. As the year-book goes to press, our interest is centered in the May fete, in which we are to take the parts of gypsy children and dance the Tarantella. With school nearly over, we are exchanging plans for a busy summer, but even now we are all eagerly anticipating our return to Holland Hall in September.

VVe looked forward to this for ages and now that we have spent nearly two years with groups older than ourselves, we feel quite grown- up-ish. We enjoy having our own room to decorate. We have a bowl of gold- fish, plants, fiowers, and samples of our own art work. And our room is healthy as well as pretty because we have two sterile lamps, which lVlr. Thompson gave us. We like to do things. We took part in the Christmas program, a French play, and an assembly program, in which we were cooks in a song and dance routine. In the May fete we were gypsies. We have made a number of trips. Our ex- cursions have taken us to the fire station, the postoffice, Wolferman's Bakery, Banfield Brothers' Packing Plant, Mohawk Park, and Philbrook Art Museum. These places impressed us very much. We wrote some articles about the fire station and the postoflice for our magazine, MISS HOLLAND HALL. , We are always busy at play time. We enjoy playing out of doors, but when it is raining we have inside activities. Carolyn Cremin brought her victrola to school and when the weather is bad we listen to the records. Jamie and Diane brought their ducks, Bright Eyes and Waddles, to school for a visit. We had so much fun with them. A11 of us enjoy birthdays. We had two birthday parties at school. Rebecca Traband had one with a beautiful cake and ice cream. Her father was present and took colored moving pictures of us. Carolyn Cremin had a party for the Lower School on her birthday. She had a three-tiered cake decorated with bunnies and candles. She had ice cream, too. We have had a good time learning and playing together and are looking forward with pleasure to next autumn.

Page 46 We could hardly wait for school to start in September, for we had looked forward to going to the big school and learning to read for a long, long time. Al- most at once we began to read in our big, big book, and very soon in our own little books. Beside the ten books we have read together, we have each read at least fifteen library books. It has been such fun to find out for ourselves the things that are written under the pictures in our books. All year we have studied about foods and we have taken two trips to grocery stores and a packing plant to see for ourselves what was in each and how it was supplied. We built our own Little Town Grocery Store as a result of this study. Of course, Miss Beattie was a big help to us when we built it. Mrs. Borden has guided us in an interesting study of birds that live around here and we have learned to recognize many of them. We were fortunate in having the use of the fine Audubon books and pictures lent by Hodgie Shaw to give us additional information. - We have had much fun with Mrs. Peters in our French classes. She has taught us some nice French songs and we are proud of the little French play which we gave at the Christmas assembly. We participated in the Lower School Christmas program and May fete. We gave an assembly program with the second and third grades about the fire station and the postoflice after we had been on trips to those places. We also visited Phil- brook to see the school exhibit and the Indian displays. It was such fun to be hostesses to the Lower School for the Easter party. We had Easter eggs even though it did rain so that we couldn't hide them outside. We have had a wonderful year with lots of fun and lots of work that was fun too. We are looking forward to next year and to more work and more fun together. l SENIOR KINDER- GARTEN fMrs. Rutledge, Director: Mrs. Tripp, Mrs. Kiddj Left to right, in chairs: Betsy Adkison, Cheryl- Kay Ogle, Chrys Perry, Margaret Billingslea, Judy Pat Johnson, Joe Wel- lingg on floor: Laura Gat- ra Marvin, Trinka Bush, Hugh Key, Ruth Breach, L i nda Welch.

Being a senior means that one is five years old and that in itself is wonderful. Play time, music time, story time, game time, and craft time each brings a different and delightful experience. From the moment the bus arrives in the morning until clear-up time for lunch, each child is busy with some particular activity. Sunshiny days find us out of doors looking and listening, playing on the outdoor apparatus, taking a walk, or watching eagerly for the first appearance of the tiny plants from the seeds we have planted. After Christmas we had our reading readiness books and we loved working in them. There are so many things to do the day isn't long enough and we hate to stay home even when we are sick for fear of missing something. We enjoyed l'Iallowe'en and Christmas and Valentine's Day and Easter. We enjoyed most of all the May fete. We were all dressed up as gypsies and we were on the program. We saw our mothers in the audience. We gave a dance to the tune, Dance a Little Partner. Everybody clapped and we ran hack into the woods to our campfire. ' Yes, the children in the senior kindergarten have had unusual opportunity for physical, mental, emotional and social growth. They have had opportunity to play with children of their own age, to tell others what they are thinking about, to play both spontaneously and in organized games, to make things with their own hands, to satisfy the curiosity in regard to the world about them, to look at pictures, to listen to stories, to sing, to dance, to listen to music, to feel wanted and impor- tant. These and many more opportunities which promote the growth and develop- ment of the individual child have come with this year's experience.

Walter is the driver and he is very kind and thoughtful of us. We have learned how to care for our wraps and we can put them on with little help from our teacher. Our crafts of drawing, painting, cutting, and clay work have helped us increase our abilities to know size, shape, and color. These have helped in the development of our small muscles. We play in a rhythm band, have learned to sing many songs and play numerous games which have helped us to follow direction, be courteous, and to develop our large muscles. We use as a starting point for special projects such holidays as Hallowe'en, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine's Day, and Easter. Many pleasant experiences come from these. One of the most enthusiastic periods of the day is story-telling time. We call this circle time. This is where we gain the experience of self-expression with greater ease. Play time comes each day. Sometimes we play inside with creative toys and in the doll corner. When the sun shines, we like playing on our own playground equipment and we have learned to share and take turns. Through play we feel we have learned to defend our own rights and to respect the rights of others. Ac lunch time we all say a prayer before we eat. We take pride in having usmilingv plates and have learned to eat many things without comment of dislike. Our entire group has gained through the year in health, emotional control, and muscular coordination.

The only faculty member present during sessions is Dean Anderson, sponsor of the organization. The faculty and the Student Council unite their ef- forts to maintain high standards of scholarship and of citizenship for the student body and to promote worth-while activities. Suggestions from any student in the school can reach the Student Council for consideration: the representative of each class presents the ideas from her home-room. These ideas are discussed and voted upon by the Council. Every quarter the Student Council elects a UCitizen of the Quarterf, Girls receive this honor on the basis of their contributions to the school and their all round good sportsmanship. Girls re- ceiving this honor for the current year are: Sue Martiii, Mary Jane Feemster, Jean Ache, Marion McMillin. The Council is a useful organization. Each weelc it elects the Hag raisers for the following week. It takes the responsibility of the seating plan for luncheon. It sets up the rules for Freak Day. When need arises, it discusses the application of the demerit system. This year the Council helped to put into operation the new carnival held in connection with Field Day, a venture which proved highly successful. The Student Council as an organization has grown tremendously in its cooperation with the school faculty and in strength of judgment. We hope that this year's Student Council has helped all students to realize the importance of good citizenship. MQ- ,gw ,at-.

M i s s Sharp The Holland Hall chapter of Junior Red Cross is very much alive. Through the efforts of the Red Cross Council each home-room of the Upper and Lower School enrolled in the organization and paid the group clues. The Council itself meets weekly, on Tuesday at 8:40. The president and one other member regularly attend the city meetings of Junior Red Cross, held the Hrst Wed- nesday of each month. Throughout the war and since, the Red Cross Council has led in all patriotic efforts. Working jointly with the Student Council it provided two floats for the Victory Parade of October 29. Red Cross officers rode in the car driven by Nancy Jo Canary, Student Council officers in the one driven by Sue Martin. In December the Council sponsored the Victory Bond Drive in our school. For each home-room of Upper and Lower School a bond queen candidate was elected. Each dollar of Victory Bonds purchased counted as a vote for one of the candidates. The campaign resulted in a total of sales through Holland Hall of .S532,305.00, with Martha Canterbury, sixth grade candi- date being crowned queen. The ceremony toolc place at a special assembly on December 14. Nelda Wells, president of the Red Cross Council, placed the crown. Our Red Cross chapter has filled for children overseas twenty-one Red Cross boxes. The con- tents were articles newly purchased and included such items as marbles, jacks, rubber balls, pencils, crayolas, writing pads, yo-yos, tooth brushes, safety pins, combs, socks, ribbons, and other things easily packed. The Red Cross Council has always been able to arouse enthusiasm for public service.

PUBLICATIONS Holland Hall issues five publications a year, the four numbers of MISS HOLLAND HALL, and the yearbook, EIGHT ACRES. From viewing the picture above you would never guess what the staff members look like when thereis a deadline to meet. That universal calm is replaced by harried countenances. The causes for the tenseness work, photography, and copy. Finally the magazine relax. Still tense are the editor, Mary Jane Feemster, Jane Hoke, Julia Ann Park, and the sponsor. For a daily, morning and evening, as proof is picked up or include dragging in ads, deadlines on art or book gets to press. Most of the group and the proof readers, Joyce Jones, Martha week or two there are trips to the printer,s returned. When the second reading is fin- ished, all relax for a few days, at the end of which they start out bravely on the next issue. Now all this would be the death of a group so small if it were not for the help from other sources. The advertising campaign is usually enlivened by a contest so that the work is not thrown entirely upon the already burdened shoulders of the staff. And not only the English classes, but every department in the Upper and Lower School sends in copy. The Art Work-Shop helps by supplying magazine covers, cartoons, and other plates. The Camera Club furnishes snap shots for the fall issue of the magazine and for the yearbook. Everyone likes to have a hand in our fun section, Mac-Fac-Stu. The staff wishes to thank its director, C. C. Chapman, its faculty sponsor, Miss Craig, and the sponsor of Mac-Fac-Stu,', Miss Walker, for invaluable help. We are not sorry to have devoted so much time to the publications. labors.

CAMERA CLUB President , , Virginia McMillin Vice-President ,L W Celia Nesbitt Sponsor , ,,,,,, 7 , Miss Craig Quick! Comb those stray locks and apply that lipstick! There is a member of the Camera Club approaching. She has a camera in her hand and a devilish gleam in her eye. And no wonder she is determined now, for all year long she has had all but insurmountable difficulties. The chief problem through the school year has been getting film. Since most of the Camera Club members have 127 and 620 cameras and since these are the most popular types everywhere, film has been still harder to find because of the great demand for these numbers. Our sponsor has stopped off on her way to school to buy at eight o7clock and the members have called each hour or so on Saturdays, but still the shortage until late spring. When we do get Film, we are all eager beavers and try to get some good shots, but half of them donlt come out right. We are too expert at over-exposure or under-exposure or in standing too close or too far away for the subject to be in sharp focus. A specialty is taking two shots on the same film. Sometimes it is the subject who just can't hold the pose. Any girl may be a member of the Camera Club if she meets the requirements of at least ten pictures a year. In the first issue of this year's NIISS HOLLAND HALL we were required to fill a page with Field Day snapshots so we all got busy and filled the order. As the deadline for yearbook contributions approaches, we are able at last to obtain film, but are short for time. De- spite the difficulties, we have supplied snaps for this book which are typical of our school life and which we believe you will find interesting.

CHEMISTRY The bell rings for change of classes. As the general populace of Holland Hall scuttle by the closed door to the chemistry lab, they shoot rather harriecl glances in that direction, no doubt remembering last year's explosions. The minutes drag by, and as the door still does not open, Miss McCormack summons all her courage, and backed by the faculty and an assorted sprinkling of underclassmen, prepares to enter, when suddenly, amid explosions, clouds of smoke and terrible fumes, the Chemistry Class of 1946 emerges triumphant and intact. This experiment has worked! Welve torn apart the atom's structure tosuch an extent that we were virtually ready to pub- lish our method of atom smashing when Truman announced that the amateurs of the Manhattan District had found a similar discovery. Thus, with a sportsman-like air, we, the brilliant class of ,46, fade into obscurity. A11 joking aside, though as yet we are unable to apply for our Ph. D.'s or to offer ourselves as professors of chemistry, we have gained insight into the chemistry problems which range from the woes of Priestly to the troubles experienced by the scientists working on the atomic bomb. Perhaps our most practical experience was the wonderful trip we had through Tulsa's Mid-Continent Oil Refinery. We were thrilled, too, when Mr. R. E. Fearon, of Wells Surveys, Inc., produced an artificially radioactive silver before our very eyes. And, in spite of our headaches and ungodly groans over the Periodic Table and other complexities, we have enjoyed this, our first year of chemistry. Under Mrs. Borden's able direction we have had both profit and pleasure. Left to right, seated: Caroline Clarke, Joan Story, Ellen lYlcEwen.

ART WORKSHOP As new experiments and improvements are made in our ever changing world of today, so has the art workshop changed and become more interesting. Under the direction of Miss Josephine Beattie new and varied activities have been added to our former list. The one which has proved most popular is the making of figurines from clay by help of an armature. Both human and ani- mal figures have been produced. The armatures were obtained from the Philbrook Art Museum until the students learned to make their own. An armature is a wire skeleton which may be ad- justed to any form desired. Oil clay is used. Some girls have painted the finished model with silver paint and the figures now have the quality of old pewter or satin-like silver. However this has not been the only activity. Carving flowers, animals, or conventionalized cle- signs out of wax has been fun for the upper grades as well as for the lower. The wax was obtained by melting old candles together and pouring the molten wax into glass dishes so as to make a square mold. Other materials which are fascinating to use are leather, plastic, and plexi-glass. Of course leather has been used through the years in art classes and the usual coin purses were made, but working with plastic and plexi-glass has been a new experience. The bright colored plastics were cut in the student's original designs and made into clever book-marks. The plexi-glass was fashioned into useful letter openers. The students, having learned to apply their art to useful ends, decided to design their own formals for the spring formal dances. This was so successful and became so popular that a sewing club was formed. The art workshop, always an interesting place, has become even more so with these new ideas and developments.

CREATIVE WRITING The creative writing class, sponsored by Miss McCormack, is an activity and carries no point credit. The value and pleasure of the course, however, more than compensate for the rather heavy time required. The class meets bi-weekly. The purpose of the course is to stimulate the creative impulse and further the literary efforts of those with journalistic interests. The period is spent in reading the productions, criticizing various points, suggesting methods of improvement, and de- veloping new trains of thought from old ones. There is an assignment for each meeting, either of verse or prose. This yearls members, representing different school grades, have been encouraged to train eye and ear for a closer ob- servation of nature and of people. If a poem on sunset is the project, we do not sit down to write till we have gone outside and watched the changing colors of sky and earth as twilight approaches. Also to develop an eye for detail, we are occasionally given as a class assignment the writing of a sketch suggested by some famous painting brought to class for the purpose by our sponsor. We are encouraged to be observers of the human throng. We have written feature articles on such topics as 'QThe Veteran,s Returnf' and The Most Interesting Person I Have Known. The creative writing class is required to keep a notebook, consisting of a journal fsomething more than a diaryj, a list of favorite quotations, and two book lists fthose we have read and those we wish to readj. The journals must be written in daily, the quotations and book lists must be kept absolutely up to date. We are pleased with the fact that each member of our group has been represented in the pages of the school magazine, MISS I-IOLLAND HALL. Pattie Chapman had several feature stories published including Do You Know Your Moneyw in the November issue and 'lThe Graphic Arts Exhibit at Philbrooku in the April issue, Kitty Ledbetter's story about a show mare, Kitty Diamond, came out in the February issue, Maurine Johnson was given a full page in the April issue for her article entitled, My Home Town , Rosie Brown has contributed various poems including The First Robin.

WORD STUDY Because until they're put to a test few people realize that they really haven't such good vocabu- laries as they thought, Holland Hall has organized a word study class to make students aware of their predicament and to give them a start in the widening of their vocabularies. That consider- able is accomplished is suggested by a graph of a recent year worked out for Holland Hall jun- iors and seniors taking word study and for juniors and seniors not taking word study. The Cooper- ative English Vocabulary Tests were used as a basis of the graph. Results showed that girls taking word study averaged 15.5 points higher than girls not taking word study. The superiority of those taking word study is due to the inculcation of Latin and Greek pre- fixes and roots, which constitutes part of the class work. With this knowledge a student who comes upon a word with which she is not familiar can make a more accurate guess than one who is unable to analyze the word. For instance, the Latin root, sed or sid, means to sit or settle, To the girl who also knows the meaning of Latin prefixes the meaning of such words as sediment, sedentary, usedulousf' supersede,', preside, subside, assiduity,', residuary is immedi- ately obvious. A text-book is used for this work. No high school credit is given for the work of this activity, but the actual personal gain is in- valuable. The Human Engineering Laboratories show that the extent of the English vocabulary plays a most important part in occupational success. For example, the average grocery clerk has a vocabulary rating of 136, while the successful business man has an average vocabulary rating of 246. Of course, a grocery clerk who has a vocabulary rating of 246 may not necessarily have the other aptitudes to be a successful business administratorg but a business man with a vocabulary rating of 136 certainly will not have the success of one who has a superior vocabulary. The Word Study Class, under Miss Craig's direction, is making sure that an adequate vocabulary will lead to each student's success.

SPEECH In the second semester speech was offered either for credit or as an activity. The work was under the direction of Miss Margaret Walker ofthe English department. The program included training of the voice with emphasis on correct breathing and formation of vowel and consonant sounds so as to avoid strain and to produce tones pleasant to the listener. The class endeavored to gain ease, poise, and skill. in different speech situations. For bodily ease and expressiveness we gave pantomimes. Then we learned to pronounce about three hundred words often mispronounced. We practiced oral reading to bring out various mean- ings and emotions. In order to do this well, we stressed the importance of understanding the deep- er meanings of the passages read. In order to become more understanding of different people and to develop our own personal- ities, we took part in informal symposiums. We gave entertainment, demonstration, and inform- ative speeches. We stressed creative listening by taking notes on speeches and giving reports on what we heard and saw. We tried to criticize objectively ourselves and other members of the class as to weaknesses in speech and progress made in overcoming these defects. We read one-act plays and produced one in assembly. Each member of the class read one full- length play and took one period in which to report on the pflay to the class. Each student planned one chapel program. Pooling these suggestions, the group led two chapel services. From all our activities we hope that we have become more poised, more understanding persons.

GLEE CLUB ' ,,,, Sue Woodring President ,,,, , , ,,,, ,, Librarian , W Frances McMillin Secretary ,, ,,Marilyn Sexton Treasurer H , Celia Nesbitt Accompanist , , r,,, 7 , Joyce Jones The Holland Hall Glee Club, under the direction of Madame Alma Witelc, a concert musician from the East, has had varied and interesting worlc. Our musical repertoire has included both classical and popular numbers sung in unison and in three parts. Victor I-ierbe,rt's 'QAh, Sweet Mystery of Lifei' was an early favorite and was finally rendered with some finish. Other numbers which we perfected were: In a Luxemburg Garden, Love is Kindf, ulndian Love Ca11,?, and By the Waters of Minnetonlcaf, Negro spirituals have been favorites with the group. Deep Riverv and 'cSwing Low, Sweet Chariots, always held 3 top place, We have a theme song, l'I'm Always Chasing Rainbowsf, Popular tunes enjoyed by the club include such familiar songs as 'fFuniculi-Funiculaf' Till the End of Timef' q'C1low-Wormf, and 'Alt Might As Well Be Springf, The Glee Club appeared in several numbers at thc Thanksgiving assembly on November twenty- first. The Christmas carols in English, French, and Latin were practiced long and carefully by the Glee Club, to the members of which the success of the Christmas program was largely due.

With materials draped everywhere, things are quite confused until with the able assistance of our sponsor order is brought out of chaos. For equipment we have one treadle and one electric portable sewing machine. We select our own patterns and materials, all of which takes most careful thought. Since the club was organized at the beginning of' the second semester, we have not had time to complete very many garments. But what we have made we are quite proud of. Joan Story, an upper grades, representative, has completed two perfectly beautiful formals and is starting to work on a peasant blouse and skirt. Her first formal is a green and white plaid taffeta trimmed in net lace. It ties with a big baby bow in back. To make this she bought two patterns and changed the pieces around till she had what she wanted. Other club members are making equally attractive formals. Ellen McEwen, a senior, is making a charming dinner dress of black and blue striped satin. Her pattern has a bustle already in- cluded. Ellen chose a Vogue pattern. Mattie Coyle and Julia Ann Park chose chintz as che material for their formals. Marie's is blue and white striped trimmed in eyelet embroidery at the neck and hem. Julia's is yellow and white striped trimmed with black velvet bows at intervals along the hem lines. Not all our members have worked on formals. Maryanne Harwood chose turquoise with red embroidery for her off the shoulder sun dress. A Simplicity pattern furnished the design. Mary Louise Hall, a junior, has been sewing since the seventh grade and therefore is more experienced than the rest of us. She completed her street dress in only five school periods. We hope that we may secure an additional sewing machine for next year. We have enjoyed sewing under Miss Beattie's guidance and we all hope to meet around the sewing table next year. 1 4 Left to right: Priscilla Carter, Louise Curran, Judy Holleman, Laura Clarke SEVENTH GRADE COOKING Sponsor, Mrs. Christensen We seventh graders look forward eagerly to our cooking class at the last period each Monday and Friday. Under the guidance of Mwrs. Hans Christensen, we learned the simple elements of the culinary arts. From setting tables and learning the different tricks of the trade, we advanced to the baking of fancy pies and cakes. Preparing hors d'oeuvre, sandwiches, and party dainties is a' necessary part of our studies. We often make fudge, divinity, and other delicacies and frequently treat the teachers with the fruits of our labor. At home we surprise our families with delicious pies, cookies, and cakes. Of course, the best part of this activity is eating the confections we have made and our appetites are greatly enhanced by the fact that cooking comes during the last hour of the school day. 'Those who enjoyed cooking the first semester were: Nancy Key, Cornelia Hall, Nancy Lackey, Jean Warren, and Peggy Wilson. Those who take cooking now are: Priscilla Carter, Laura Clarke, Louise Curran, and Judy Holleman.

This bigger association has settled definitely the duties of the officers. Some of these have not been entirely understood in the past. The captain holds a really responsible oHice. She is to be generally responsible for her team. She selects teams for games on Friday and makes sure that the play- ers are informed of their positions. Along with the selecting of the team she must select timers, linesmen, and scorers for the games. The captain must herself be able to referee and take -charge of the games. She is also to help the instructor with keeping attendance and with giving demerits. The duties of the co-captain are few in number, but equally important. She is to assist the captain in the selection of the teams, she is to check the lockers periodically, and she is to be ready'at any time to perform all the duties of the captain in case of the latter,s absence. The Athletic Association has set up an athletic honor roll. At the end of the year high honors will go to the girl who has made an outstanding contribution to playground activities throughout the year and who has played well four sports and has a knowledge of a fifth. Honors will go to the girl who has consistently shown a helpful attitude on the playground and who has played two sports well and has a knowledge of one other sport. She must also have made excellent progress. Honorable Mention goes to the girl who has made consistent effort on the playground throughout the school year and who has made more than satisfactory progress. The Association has had as its aim this year to make the gym class more effective and more interesting with greater participation and greater enthusiasm. Many suggestions have been made for the activities of next year. With our reorganization of this year and with the new equipment promised us, we hope to continue to make our leadership still more effective.

The group that has achieved this feat consists of Mary Jane Feemster, Kitty Ledbetter, Eileen Maloney, Rita Pettigrew, Janey Porter, Mary Alma Porter, and Marilyn Sexton. We have done everything from scrubbing the woodwork to assorting the quarterly grade-cards. We have learned to have the utmost patience waiting for assignments and having to answer both phones only to find Mr. Wasson in the treasurer's office using both of them. Mishaps and accidents began early this year. Troubles started when someone ruined the last stencil by drawing crooked lines instead of straight ones on it. Then there was the bottle of purple ditto ink that someone spilled and gave Janey Porter the privilege of cleaning up. Only one stu- dent at a time is assigned to the oil-ice, but if by chance two are there, one invariably hits a bell or drops a desk gadget just as Miss McCormack passes. This year we have considered ourselves lucky because there have not been any programs to run off except for the May fete. The difference was made up, however, in postal cards to be got out for the entire Upper School. Marilyn Sexton won't easily forget the time she had to make her addresses conform to rule and add homa to her abbreviation, Q'Okla.,, Neither will Mary Alma Porter forget the time she had to erase one hundred and five names because she forgot to capi- talize them. With all our troubles, however, we have managed to tiptoe down the halls each day with notices, to get out daily attendance slips for each home-room fapproximately two thousand, but seeming more like a millionj, and to prepare letters, envelopes, and postal cards for mailing. In addition we have run off scores of ditto copies to meet the class-room needs of teachers. There have been trying moments for the office assistants, but we all agree that we have learned much through the experience and we shall all carry away with us many happy thoughts of this student activity. w 1 .

Even those of us who have been in residence for several years never fail to catch our breath as we start up the long avenue of trees toward home Unchanging and reigning with dignity, the mansion-like dwelling rises above all to command a view of noble woods and fields. Each day as we return from the school proper, which is located some two miles away, a feeling of coming home seizes student and teacher alike, for Oakwold herself seems to wel- come us. In the warmer months of early fall or late spring, after the heat of the school room, Oakwoldis cool is refreshing. Oakwold adapts herself to one's mood. For the more thought- ful she offers a walk through fields or woods, and again a feeling of gratefulness comes over us. Oakwold is governed as a good home is, with a spirit of trust rather than of suspicion. A definite set of rules has been established by the combined efforts of the resident faculty and resident student council, which has proved most successful. The students have not betrayed the trust vested in them. The rules have purposely been made flexible that they may be adapted to individual needs and that they may not restrict a group because of the needs of a single individual. This pla.n meets with the whole-hearted approval of not only the faculty, but the girls as well, for both have a definite place in house management. Student council meetings are held weekly and it is in these that che problems of the house are discussed and solved. Too, the student proctors, who change on a rotation plan every two weeks, are invited to attend these meetings so that every girl is made to feel that she has a definite part in the goverrunent. The result of these meetings over a number of years is a contented student body as well as faculty. The students who live at Oakwold range in age from twelve to eighteen and come from all parts of this hemisphere: from Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas, Texas, New York, New Jersey, California, and from Colombia, South America. And these girls, with so varied a background, all learn to live on an allow- ance of 52.50 weekly, to keep an account book, plan trips, and what is more imporant, carry them out, After-school hours offer many diversions. Horseback rid- ing, tennis, swimming, badminton, bicycling, or walking occupy the more energetic among us, though often we find ourselves content to draw up in front of the fire and listen to the victrola or on warm days to stretch out on the sun porch. As classes are dismissed at 3:30, we have two and a half hours before dinner to relax. On Mondays and Wednesdays we often walk down to Smitty's for a hamburger or coke to come in panting just as the 5:30 bell sounds its warning. At 6:00 we have dinner and at 7:00 we start study hall. From 7:00 to 9:00 we study fervently, then on release we rush upstairs to write home, listen to Kay Kyser, and finally pile into bed at 10:00. Those of us who are to graduate this June will never forget the friends weive made here, our escapades, or any of the hundred little things that have made Oakwold our home. m, wwwwm mmwsmm?w s3,'m..

Maria Jackson SERVICE EMPLCYEES Probably no other persons are so much a part of Holland Hall as are Mrs. Christensen, Mrs. Jackson, and Walter Keys. Is it an extra birthday cake wanted? Helping out at the residence by supplying a scrumptuous dinner? Or just the every-day choice luncheon served at school? In every case Mrs. Christensen and Mrs. Jackson are on hand to meet the needs. Mention, too, should be made of Mrs. Wirsching, who serves the Cottage and who is very, very popular with kindergartners. Walter not only makes for the smooth running of daily luncheons for Cottage, Mrs. Rinlcer's room, Lower School, and Upper School, but for Parents' Association meetings. Sev- eral times daily he transports students, little and big, by bus. He is never cross no matter how much noise is made. He watches over che little ones to see that they reach their doors in safety. Recently returned from military service, Walter's son, Rozay, has been assisting as maintenance man. The students feel a genuine appreciation for all that Mrs. Christensen, Mrs. Jackson, Mrs. Wirsching, Walter and Rozay do for them. K Q m Page 84 SEN IORS President, ,...., - ..,.,.

You'll never find us hangin' around a joint after ten, ,Cause we keep up our studies and above all-the men. Miss Walker as our pilot we will never forget Or all the happy days and the friends that we have met. We are the eighteen wrecks that Hood the decks, But: we're never blue 'Cause we have learned to love it and we've learned to be true. We picked our mascot, Skeeter, and we think that he's keen, And. our senior color, which is Kelly green.

Nancy Jo Canary and Barbara Riley were very busy trying to get used to going to school. With them, enjoying the novelty of reading, writing, and arithmetic were Ann Phillips, Robert Moran, Mildred Shirley, and Dolores Lyerla. The next year Mary Jane Feemster was the sole pupil in the first grade. But she was joined in the second by Nancy Jo and Ann. The year was quite eventful with plays and also with our impersonation of Brownies in the May Fete. In the third grade we neither gained nor lost anyone. Again Ann, Nancy Jo, and Mary Jane were there to heckle the teachers. We succeeded in doing so with our periodic excursions to the river. ' In our fourth year Ann, Nancy Jo, and Mary Jane were joined by Ailene Flynn, Julie Van Zant, and Leda Raigorodsky. This year brought many new friends and many violent feuds. But these passed off in time and it was indeed a pleasant year for all. Many parties were given to honor birthdays and a very gay time was had by all. As we came back to start our fifth year, the school had moved to its present location and we were sorry to see that Julie Van Zant and Leda Raigorodsky had not returned. That left Ann, Nancy Jo, Ailene, and Mary Jane to struggle by themselves, And struggle they did. This year was highlighted by an epidemic of measles, which took everyone out of school except Ann, who says she had a wonderful time being the sole attraction. Our sixth year saw the loss of Ailene Flynn, but the gain of Virginia McMillin made up for it. Ann and Mary Jane impressed the Upper School by giving a play on Class Day. It was all in French and was quite good, thanks to the untiring efforts of Miss Humbert. In our seventh year the class was greatly expanded with the addition of Sue Martin, Mary Ellen Waters, Mimi and Betty White, Janey Porter, and Dorothy Berkey. As we look back on this year, we remember chiefly the many excursions we took with Miss Jackson and also our editing Holland Hall Stepping Stones,', a quarterly. Our excursions took us to the railway station, the Tulsa Tribune,' editorial and press fioors, and to cafes, hotels, drug stores, and grocery stores. Janey Porter took the honors that year by being elected May queen and after a busy year, we were graduated to the Upper School. The eighth grade year found us in the lab for a home- room. We stayed the same merry nine, terrorizing the Upper School and starting out our career as the loudest class to invade the halls of Holland Hall and we were proud of it. That year the school produced 'QLittle Womenn and it found our entire class, still a little shy, on the costume committee. The next year, in the ninth grade, we mourned the loss of Virginia McMillin and Dorothy Berkey. We were glad, how- ever, to see Virginia again in three weeks: she was to become one of the first boarders at our newly acquired boarding unit, Oakwold. Ailene Flynn joined us again after Christmas va- cation and we were all very happy to hear that her family had moved back to Tulsa. The second semester found two new- comers, Sue Woodring and Jean Ache. That year Janey and Sue Martin ably carried the roles of a maid and a student respectively in 'letters to Lucerne, a play for which Mary Ellen served as prompter. Naturally it was a huge success. In the tenth grade we were sorry to lose Virginia McMillin and Sue Woodring. But we had many new students join our class: Barbara Riley, Nelda Wells, Eileen Maloney, Ann Allen. Patsy Warren, and Jeanne Wiggins. That year our class gave as an assembly program our interpretation of a toy shop. Also Jean Ache, Sue Martin, Janey Porter, Mary Jane Feemster, and a junior, Marilyn Vinson, went to Bristow to give a stere- optican program for the Bristow High School. That year we entertained the seniors at a dinner party at Southern Hills. My, were we grown up! At least we thought so. Virginia and Woody joined us again in our junior year, but we lost Ann Allen, Patsy Warren, and Jeanne Wiggins. The four new additions to our class and to Oakwold compen- sated. These new additions were: Ellen McEwen, Rosie Brown, Barbara Bach, and Rita Pettigrew. Virginia McMillin held the spotlight when she was crowned Christmas queen. This year we gave the commencement dance. And since we are always being different and breaking tradition so to speak, we gave the dance on the tennis courts at Oalcwold. It was a gala event when the band Hnally showed up. At last! We are seniors! Oh, happy day for both us and dear ol' Holland Hall. We made a gain of Mary Alma Porter from Oklahoma City and also from Oklahoma City, Joyce Jones, the first post-graduate to come to Holland Hall. In our Senior Assembly we presented our mascot, Skeeter Beezle- bub, and announced to the under-classmen our special priv- ileges. We are quite proud of the fact that we are the largest class to graduate from Holland Hall. We want to thank our parents and teachers and everyone who struggled with us and made it possible for us.

How much do you know about our section? Did you know, for in- stance, that thirteen counties in Oklahoma are named for Indian tribes? They are Cherokee, Choctaw, Creek, Muskogee, Osage, and eight others. Three counties bear the names of noted Indians: Sequoyah, Pushamataha, and Atoka. Do you know the origin of the name, Tulsa ? The place was named for an old dancing ground of the Creeks. According to tradition, the ashes from old Tulsey Town in Alabama were brought to Indian Territory in 1828. A new fire was built and the place named Tulsey Town, later, Tulsa. Do you know the Southwest? Had you realized that the section is outstanding not only in oil, cattle, and cotton, but also in peanuts, cane sugar, sweet potatoes, and pecans? Do you know the reasons that give Tulsa national and international importance? It is because it is the Oil Capital of the world and has more than forty head offices of major oil companies. Such conventions as the annual meeting of the Independent Petroleum Association of America are held in Tulsa. Let us know our section, state, and city. Let us get acquainted with our own history and our own economic possibilities. COVER GIRL Joan Story, daughter of Mr. Jack B.

Principal of Holland Hall ..f. - it ' ' v lVlarquis James, the author of i'Cherokee Strip, was born in Springfield, Missouri, in 1891. The family entered Okla- homa with the run of 1893. James began his career as a cub reporter and worked right on up the scale to the editorial staff of the New Yorker. It was in 1929 he wrote his first Pulitzer prize winner, 'lThe Ravenf' a biography of Sam Houston. lVlarquis James has written many other books and was awarded his second Pulitzer prize in 1938 for his biography of Andrew Jackson. Enid, Oklahoma, is high-lighted in Biographer James' colorful book of recollections, 'tCherokee Stripf' recently off the press. The hero is Nlarkey James himself, a sensitive frontier boy with an ear for legend and an eye for char- acters. He wanted to be a journeyman printer and instead became a two-time Pulitzer prize biographer. Markeyys earliest ideals were Dick Yeager, an Okahoma outlaw, and a Mr, Howell, a weather beaten Indian expert, whose unplowed sod-house claim adjoined the claim of the -Iameses. Howell spent many hours filling young Nlarkeyls brain with stories of Indian hunts and wars. It was indeed a sad day for Markey when lVIr. Howell moved away. In 1901 the James family moved to near-by Enid. Enid had many things to offer a bright young man like Nlarkey and he took advantage of them all. He lived the life of the average boy with the average amount of school activities and social activities. Still even during school days the newspapers played the most important part in Nlarkeys life. As implied the book is an autobiography of a person who lived through the exciting early period of Oklahoma history. Probably the part of the book which most interests the resi- dents of Oklahoma and the general reading public is the description of the run. Perhaps you know in a general way what the run was like. It was the biggest horse race that had ever been and for the greatest purse--the whole Cherokee Strip. At the starting line, farther than the eye could see, a hundred thousand people lined up, on saddle horzes, in light rigs, buck boards, spring wagons, and sulkies. They broke with a yell and at first you couldn't see a thing for the dust that was raised where the grass had been trampled away along the starting line. In this blinding cloud the wheels of rigs locked and there were spills at the very start. When the racers got out on the grass, the dust went down except along the Chisholm Trail. The riders took the lead mostly with the fastest driving horses and lightest wagons next. There were no roads, mind you, except the Trail and no bridges. 8 They got down and up draws and across creeks and ravines and gullies as best they could. Wagons stuck in the streams and stalled in draws. Rigs broke down from the rough go- ing. By and by the horses that had been driven too hard began to play out. Horses that had started more slowly began to edge ahead. The thing which all were trying to do was to get to Enid first and to get the choice of town lots or of the claims close by. It was seventeen miles from the nearest point on the starting line north of Hennessey in old Oklahoma to Enicl,s south line. With five miles to go, of the thousands who started about a hundred held the lead. Most of the others were far behind, some dropping out all the time to stake claims along the trail or to veer east or west. The rest pressed on to get nearer Enid. The hundred leaders dwindled to fifty, nearly all on horseback, though a few buckboards were still keeping up. Now a small man on a fleet cow pony was gliding past iitler after rider, The man was Wfalter Cook, a twenty-two year old cowpuncher from the Chickasaw Nation. Pretty soon he was ahead of everyone. He kept his lead and was the hrst man to reach the town-site. This wiry, cocky little cow hand, who loped his cayuse over the eighteen miles from the Hennessey line to Enid in less than fifty-five minutes, swept past the land oiqice and staked his claim to the best quarter section in the whole strip, the 160 acres north of the town square. In the end Walter Cook was cheated out of his claim, but he ended by being the town hero every September 16, the anniversary of the run, and by being the town boot- legger and jail-bird the other three hundred and sixty-four days. But that was how things went in the run of 1893 and the glory of having been in the run cut a lot more ice in Enid than coming over in the Nlayflower. Another aspect of the book is of interest to a certain lim- ited public. To any person who is concerned with journalism the author's account of his connection with various newspapers, from early boyhood on, is exceedingly interesting, James started lounging around newspaper offices when he was quite young and it was noi long before he was having some of his own poems printed. Before leaving the home town for bigger and better game, he had worked on practically every news- paper in Enid. He had covered all types of assignments and had even run a circulation department. XVhile working for the Eagle, he spent a good deal of his time on the Dull Day Items. It was through his ability shown in this column that he got his first bid from the outside world. After careful consideration, he turned down this offer to go to Cincinnati, only to accept another newspaper job soon afterwards in Kansas City. It is doubtful whether this book, written, as it is, in an informal style, would be another Pulitzer prize winner. How- ever the light simple manner of the author makes it an easy and enjoyable book to read. The reader will immedia'ely like young Marquis. The story of his growing up, the adventure of being a boy in a small town, is typically American, Par- ticularly delightful are the stories of the old time printers and the account of the authorls boyhood heroes. Here is a book written for bath old and young. It is interesting and entertaining both from the historical and pleasure reading point of view. Mr. James' well known skill at depicting the American scene is evident here. It is hard to imagine anyone who will not enjoy reading this inspiring story of the author's youth and the story of the young days of our Southwest, days which have already vanished, November,1945 - MISS HOLLAND HALL QXNNXXXKXN 1 111111111 771771111 kkkkkxxkxo Feature Story WHEN PLANES ARE GROUNDED By Margaret Foster lGrade 105 Janice stood under the weeping willow looking up at the big full moon. As the drone of motors became louder, three planes appeared on the face of it, making real the scene she had seen many times, but heretofore only in pictures. Janice wondered if it was possible that Randy could be in one of those planes. Oh, how she hoped so! Janice and Randy had been merely friends when they were in high school. indeed it was only during her senior year that she had a few dates with him. Before that he had just been the nephew of her mother's best friend, Mrs. Steven- son. Moreover Mrs. Stevenson was a neighbor. The two back lawns were separated from each other only by the width of an alley. Randy spent a lot of time at his aunt's, but it seemed to Janice that the time would never come when he would even look at her a second time, much less speak to her. Janice had dreamed of that moment ever since Mrs. Stevenson had announced that her brother, Carl, was to move to Willow Creek and that he had a son just a few months older than she. But it was almost six months after their arrival at Willow Creek before Randy even spoke to her. When he did, it was purely an accident. It was late afternoon just before the fall opening of school. Janice was standing in her back yard when she heard a rustling in the thick privet hedge behind her and the sound of running feet. Before she could turn around, she found herself sprawled on the ground in a most undignified way. There was something wet and cold on her face and just as she opened her eyes, a little Cocker Spaniel puppy licked her right in the eye. She laughed and sat up just in time to see Randy crawling with difficulty through the hedge. She grabbed the puppy, which Randy had been vainly trying to catch, and at the same time threw her head back and laughed until her sides ached. Randy was standing now, his black curly hair hanging down in his face and filled with leaves and little sticks, which he had acquired while crawling through the hedge. Black mud smears and grass stain on his face and shirt added to the humor of this ridiculous situation. Randy looked mad for a minute, then he too joined in the laughter. He came up to her and leaned over to get the wriggling little puppy. Holding it under one arm, he reached down to help Janice up. He smiled and thanked her for catching the mischievous puppy. Just then they heard Randyis mother calling. She had driven out from the Stevenson garage in the big blue car which to Janice was the most beautiful car she had ever seen. At this moment, however, she was not looking at the car, instead she was watching Randy disappear through the hedge. She could have cried. This wasn't the way she had dreamed it would be. She had thought it was MISS HOLLAND HALL -- November,1945 going to be so romantic. She had seen him, though, and he had spoken to her, too. The next week school started and she saw Randy in the hall nearly every day, and he even sat near her in one of her classes. One afternoon, about a week before Hallowe'en she received with her other mail a letter postmarked Willow Creekf, She tore open the envelope to find an invitation to a Hallowe'en party at the home of Carl Randolph Rogers, Jr. The senior year had come and gone. Randy had been two years in the Air Corps, first as a cadet, and then as an instructor. And Janice wore a ring. As she stood in the moonlight still thinking about the planes that had passed, she was startled back to the present and realizing that it was the telephone, she ran toward the house. She heard her mother calling and noticed an excited waver in her voice. She reached the porch and ran up the steps, out of breath. She flung open the door and saw her mother standing in the hall. It seemed to Janice that she was beaming from head to toe. Janice took the phone from her mother's hand, and wondering who it might be, answered softly. The voice on the other end of the line told her it was Randy. Maybe it was true that he had been in one of those planes. She was so excited she was trembling. Darling, came Randy's voice, do you suppose you could get the car and drive out here for me? The weather is kind of bad up ahead and we're grounded until further notice. We could see each other a few minutes anyway. Janice's responsive, Oh, yes, held a faint sign of a sigh. Mrs. Hall stood in the doorway of Janice,s room holding the warm coat her father had given her for Christmas. It was a beautiful sable-dyed skunk and the long hair was soft and warm. The weather man said it was going to snow tonight, dear, said Mrs. Hall. It will probably be cold when you come back. Wear your gloves while you're driving and you had better put a scarf or something on your head. Oh, and tell Randy :Hello' for me, will you, darling? I will do everything you said, Mother. If Randy has time, we may drive in and have some cocoa and sandwiches if it's all right. Don't you stay up unless you want to. I'll try not to be late. As Janice drove along, she noticed that the moon had been almost completely obscured by the gathering clouds. She had thought many times that she would never be glad to see a storm, no matter what kind. This was one time, how- ever, that she was really glad to see it, for it had made it possible for her to see Randy again. 9 Oxnmmmxxkw 111111111 71111111145 kxxxmxumm Feature Story HOLLAND HALL RESIDENCE By Mary Alma Porter lGrade 125 To those few who are not familiar as yet with the Holland Hall boarding department may I introduce the family by first presenting Oakwold. Some of you may recall from the hazy past an old nursery rhyme that runs something like this: There was an old woman Who lived in a shoe, And had so many children, She didn't know what to do.'l As is evident, the poetry resembles the work of neither Shakespeare nor Poe, yet the thought is a fitting pattern for our story. However, since this is the twentieth century, a few changes are only fair, and in our tale, the shoe is a beautiful place called Oakwold. Those of you lacking im- agination might object to being introduced to a house as a member of a family, but we who live in Oakwold consider her a distinct personality. Her walls keep us warm, her pool keeps us fit, and, ah yes-her reducing cabinet keeps us slender. Now having met Oakwold, itys only fair that you should meet the old. woman, who in our story isnlt old at all. Miss Elizabeth Anderson, masquerading behind the title of dean, is mother of us all, yet unlike the old woman of the story, loses neither her patience nor her temper, a fact which no doubt is due to her able assistants--Miss Margaret Walker, Miss Marjorie Gustafson, Mrs. Stewart Williams, and Mrs. Mar- garet Marshall, who reward as well as administer an occasional spank to the younger members of the clan, who are, I must admit, MOST unusual children. The collection is varied. Texas sacrificed Rita Pettigrew, Colombia, South America, bewails the loss of Marie Coyle, Kansas laments the double tragedy of losing Ruby Jean Webb and Ellen McEwen, while Oklahoma City is absolutely broken hearted, having been deserted by Barbara Bach, Rosie Brown, Pat Davis, Kitty Led- better, Delma Jo Mason, Mary Alma Porter, and Rosemary Traugh. And still the casualties pour in: Joan Story from New York, Tam Dudley from New Jersey, Nancy Lackey from Bixby, Oklahoma, Cora Jean Mundy from another Oklahoma town which no one could pronounce if it were printed, Maureen Johnson from Sapulpa, Marilyn Sexton from Kansas City, but far from least, Dottie Lindburg from St. Louis, Missouri. From our first minute in Oakwold we received the best of care, being met at the door by Joanne Splane and Garalene Vandever, two of last year's graduates. The unpacking having been done away with one way or another, we found Mrs. Williams had planned a dinner such as the poor old woman in the nursery rhyme could only dream of. Ten olclock found us swimming, while at eleven we were tucked in bed to wonder, in a sleepy sort of way, if we'd have chicken for dinner the next day. Since our arrival, now more than a month ago, there has literally never been a dull moment. The welcoming tea given by the Parents' Association on Sunday afternoon, September 23, was an 'QAt Home in our own Oakwold. It turned out to be a great success in spite of damp weather as several hundred attended and all enjoyed themselves thor- 10 oughly. Wednesday is our dinner guest night and we've been having good company: Nlr. and Mrs. King Dickason with Marie and her brother: Mr. and Mrs. O. W. Maloney with Eileen, lVlr. and Mrs. Bailie Vinson, Miss Craig, Miss Mary Ledbetter accompanied by her fiance, Lt. Gordon Shummardg Pfc. Jack Kelly. However, to the disappoint- ment of the entire resident body, Elliot Dare, our glamour boy, who has played in such movies as 'lThe Corn is Green, has as yet been unable to sample any of Miss Pearl's meals. To add even more spice to life the week-end of October 5 Ellen McEwen flew to Wichita, Kansas. Ellen claimed interest in the horse show, but inside sources report that our friend, M. Nybery, had something to do with her decision. Another traveler is Pat Davis, who is uforcedi' to make rather frequent trips to Oklahoma City to see her ':dentist, though these same sources have it rumored that an old friend fmas- culine genderj hasnit made these trips any tragedy for Pat. Marilyn Sexton, who took a jaunt to Kansas City the week- end of October 14, quite frankly admitted that the object of her visit home was NOT to see the family dog. Thanks, Marilyn! Getting down to business, Oakwold was well represented at the horse show this year. Pat Davis, Ellen McEwen, and Nancy Lackey were seen nightly, while Joan Story, Rita Pettigrew and Jane Marshall were not far behind. There have been several all-residence trips. There was much excitement in anticipation of our trip of October 7 to Pawhuska. the main purpose of which was to see the Indian dances celebrating V-J Day. However the glory of the dances was considerably over-shadowed by the fun supplied that afternoon by the H. H. Mundays. Mr. Mundy, who res ligiously believes that Oklahoma is the best cattle country in the world, gained thirteen followers who heartily agree with him. XVe really can speak with authority, for you see, we spent the afternoon on his ranch. We chased the chickens, scared the horses, petted the dogs, dressed the little boys, fed the kittens, and TRIED to milk the cows. The general con- clusion was that while WE should LOVE ranch work, if America depended solely on us to feed her, she really would be rather hungry at times. While still on the subject of food, we want to say that the dinner Mrs. Mundy prepared for us was a thing one dreams about, but seldom sees. Huge platters of barbecued chicken, relishes, au gratin potatoes, dressing, and cowboy beans were arranged on the table, while In season, swimming is the most popular sport at Holland Hall residence ee-evssamn eww? Barbara Bach fGrade 121 demonstrates good form in diving the chocolate cake was second to none. Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Mundy - it was really grand. Another all-residence jaunt was the trip to Oklahoma City described elsewhere in this issue. I've ignored chemistry, neglected Spanish, confused his- tory, and almost fiunked English in an effort to explain to you what we, the members of the residence, are doing. My parents are in tears and the teachers are in a similar state, so with these sad facts in mind, this column shall come to an abrupt end. So now that youive met the Oakwold family, got in on the local gossip, and learned about us, the entire residence body, we extend a cordial invitation to visit us, so that WE can learn about you. FROM EL CENTRO TO TULSA By Marie Coyle fGrade 95 I live in the jungle in Colombia, South America, in a village of some fifty or sixty families called El Centro. My father is connected with the Tropical Oil Company. The oil refinery is located at Barranca Bermaja, distant forty-five minutes by train. It is a small village of perhaps seventy families of different nationalities, From here the oil is shipped by pipe- line to Barranquila on the coast of Colombia, from where it is taken to other parts of the world by tankers. Not all of this oil is refined. At Barranca Bermaja you can buy various kinds of fruit from the natives. Across the Magdalena River, on which the village is located, you can see nothing but a thick jungle. River boats go up and down the river. These river boats are very old fashioned with the paddle wheel in back. There is also an airp-ort here. Daily, planes stop on their way to Bagata, the capital, or to Barranquila. The school which I attended at El Centro is co-educational and provides courses through the first eight grades. Last year there were twenty-four pupils. The majority are boys. There are two teachers, one for grades one to three, and one for grades four to eight. A typical school day is like this: I had to get up at six oiclock in the morning in order to be at school by seven. The first period is fifteen minutes of singing. Then I had a geography class. When the geo- graphy class was over, I went to my seat and prepared my arithmetic while the teacher went on with the other classes. After forty-five minutes were up, I had my arithmetic class. Then at a quarter of nine, we had a fifteen minute recess. After recess, I went to my seat and prepared my history lesson, which we discussed an hour and fifteen minutes later. Right after history class I went home for lunch at ten-thirty. At twelve o'clock we were back at school. As soon as I got MISS HOLLAND HALL -- November, 1945 back, I got my English lesson ready while the teacher con- ducted other classes. Grades one through three didnlt come back in the afternoon. I had at least an hour to get my English before the teacher called the class. After English class I had lots of time t-o study my spelling. At two-thirty school was out for the day. Recitation chairs stood against the wall at the front and when a class was called students came up and sat on those chairs. The whole school was about as big as the assembly room at Holland I-lall. When our teacher came to the States, she ordered the textbooks. It always took six months or a year for them to get there, so that when the bo-oks did arrive, everyone got quite excited. The only thing that was rather difficult at times was to study your lessons while other classes were going on. After-school recreati-ons include such outdoor sports as swimming, basketball, baseball or football, and sometimes fish- ing. For swimming we commuted to Barranca Bermaja. On Thursdays the children got to go roller-skating at the E1 Centro Club. On Sunday, Wednesday, and Friday nights there is a show. The films always get down there about six months or a year after they are shown in the United States. In order to receive a high school education it was necessary that I should come to the United States and Holland Hall was selected as the school. Accordingly, on August 17, my mother, my ten year old brother, Al, and I started by plane for the United States. We were three days en route. Our first stop was Barranquila, where we stayed for three hours at the hotel. At about three olclock we left Barranquila and at about seven o'clock that evening we arrived at Panama. We stayed at the Hotel Tivoli. You couldn't get within several miles of the canal because the army has occupied that territory. Just be- fore you land in Panama, they put covers over the windows so you can't see the canal. The next morning we were again on our way. We were to stay in Guatemala City that night. We made about ten other stops along the way. Meals were served in the plane on trays. They were hot meals, but I am sorry to say they were not too good. You had almost the same thing at every meal and it got to be boring. We landed in Guatemala late that afternoon. Guatemala is a very beautiful city in the residential section, but farther down town it's rather dirty. We stayed at the Palace Hotel. It's a very lovely hotel with palm trees and all kinds of shrubbery planted in- side. At these Latin American hotels the food isn't so very good. The next afternoon at Hve-thirty we were on our way to Mexico City. Part of the time we flew over water and several times we saw volcanoes, some of them smoking. It wasn't much fun flying at night because you cari't see anything and itls kind of hard to sleep. I was quite disappointed be- cause we had no opportunity for sight-seeing. We did see the royal palace and the government building where the legisl lature sits. Next morning we were really homeward bound, for that night we would be in the good old U. S. A. At six o'clock we were in Los Angeles. We spent the rest of the summer in California with my grandmother. On August Z5 we started by train for Tulsa. On Sunday, September 9, my mother and brother said goodbye and left for South America. I do not intend to get homesick. During the time I've been in Tulsa, Iive come to think it one of the nicest cities I've ever been in. Holland Hall is very different from my school in Barranca. Bermaja, but I think it is a fine school. The school residence Oakwold, where I stay, is a very beautiful place and I have 1 had loads of fun since I came. 1 1 HOLLAND HALL HOLDS OPEN HOUSE AT RESIDENCE On Sunday afternoon, September 23, the Holland Hall Parents' Association gave an at home at the school residence, 1900 East Forty-First Street. Hours were from four to seven. It was the first formal gathering since the school took over the entire estate by purchase last May. For the two preceding years the place had been leased by the school. With the con- summation of the purchase, the comrnodious suite formerly re- tained by Mrs. Owings for her own use was made available for additional school residence needs. Partitions have been re- moved. What was Mrs, Owingys long drawing room now con- nects with the main hall and with the library. Arrangements for the open house were in charge of Mrs. J. Hall Feemster, Jr., committee chairman. The punch bowls in the drawing room, the dining room, and on the south terrace were presided over by officers of the Parents' Association, present or retiring: Mrs. C. C. Hoke, president, Mrs. M. F. Waters, retiring president, Mrs. L. King Dickason, Mrs. L. V. S. Gregory, Mrs. E. Fred Johnson, Mrs. O. W. Maloney, Mrs. George E. Page, Mrs. Sam Russell. Assisting informally in the rooms were Miss Eleanor Hastings McCormick, principal of Holland Hall, and the fol- lowing members of the Association representing different class groups of the school: Mrs. C. Jim Creekmore, Mrs. Sidney R. Davis, Mrs. Kenneth S. Flint, lvlrs. Edgar Hieronymous, Mrs. Louis Perry, Mrs. John Shaw, Mrs. H. L. Singletary, Mrs. Brad- ford Williams, Mrs. F. Wilson, Nlrs. H. L. Lair, Mrs. Sam Canterbury, Mrs. Charles Ward Hall, Mrs. Lawrence Bailliere, Mrs. George Clark, Mrs. W. L. Foster, Mrs. C. D. McCabe, Mrs. Carl E. Nesbitt, and Mrs. John R. Evans. Resident students showed guests over the upper floors. The guest list included the trustees of Holland Hall and their wives, members of the staff, and patrons. Among out-of-town guests attending were: Mr. and Mrs. Earl Mason, Mr. and Mrs. John R. Porter, and Mr. and Mrs. R. P. Traugh, all of Okla- homa City. Don Wasson, business manager of Holland Hall, shows plans for furnishing the additional suite of rooms made available by the recent purchase of the Bole estate.

The Whites enjoyed a wonderful month of parties and fun in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The McMillin family came home from Evergreen, Colorado, raving about the good times they'd had all summer. Then we mustnlt forget Janey Porter, who was the guest of her aunt at the Edgewater Beach in Chicago. It was more than once that the rest of us heard about the resorts mentioned above and the gaiety they had to offer. Friday, September 7, saw the freshmen out en force. Caro- line Clarke, Diana Kirk, Martha McCabe, Mary Lee Mulhall, and Julia Ann Park called for their guest, Marie Coyle of Colombia, South America, at the Tulsa Hotel. From there they proceeded to Skagg's restaurant for lunch and then to the circus. Arriving at the Barton Show Grounds, they found the circus far from ready to begin and they did not relish waiting in the hot sun as long as was necessary. The girls were somewhat consoled, however, to find that China Sky was playing at the Ritz. A11 had a good time at this show in spite of the earlier disappointment. Mary Lee Mulhall was hostess at a week-end party from Friday, September 21, through Sunday, September 23. Guests were Caroline Clarke, Debby Page, and Milly Wilson. The girls went to Mary Lee's on Friday evening, went horseback riding Saturday morning and Saturday evening saw Junior Miss. After a big brunch Sunday noon, all drifted home- ward to attempt studying after such a wonderful time. Many big things were happening the day of Janey Porteris seventeenth birthday, October 2. Everyone anticipated the pleasure of the noon hour when Janey's annual birthday cake would be divided among the girls. For the preceding four years this event was celebrated jointly by Janey and Garalene Vandever, whose birthdays fall on the same day. We always look forward to the occasion for it produces a variety inside the walls of ol' H-H. That night Janey was the guest of several classmates for dinner at the Tulsa Club. Afterwards we all went over to Janeyls and feasted on another birthday cake plus ice cream. You could still hear us the next day raving about the fun we'd had. Virginia McMillin also was guest at a party given in her honor. Her birthday falls on October 10, but she and a Central High School friend, Jeanne Koontz, celebrated to- gether at Jeanne's home on October 7. Hours were from three to seven. Virginia, also seventeen, received many gifts and later the usual ice cream and cake were served. Many of the Holland Hall seniors were present. The football season always seems to high-light our fall activities and you are sure to find the Holland Hall girls out in full force at the stadium every Saturday night when there is a game. It has certainly proved to be the hang-out for Virginia and Frances McMillin, Sally White, Julia Ann Park, Debby Page, Mimi White, Julie Flint, Margaret Ann Evans, and many others every week-end. On October 5 many Holland Hall girls were seen on the road to Hominy to watch the Cascia-Hominy football game. Since many of the Holland Hall girls form the Cascia cheering squad, it was imperative that they all go to cheer the boys onward. However, fate was against us and the Cascia boys lost, but though we weren't victorious, fun was had by all and the trip was well worth it. Those who entered into the fun were: Nancy Jo Canary, November, 1945 - MISS HOLLAND HALL Virginia McMillin, Eileen Maloney, Sue Martin, Janey Porter, Betty and Mimi White, Mary Ellen Waters, and Sally and Katty White. The Cascia cheering squad, made up of many Holland Hall girls, attended the Cascia-Pembroke football game at Cascia, Saturday, October 13. Following the game a nickelodeon dance in the gym at Cascia Hall proved to be a lot of fun as far as the following were concerned: Mimi White and Dick Pringle, Eileen Maloney and Jimmy Robinson, Mary Ellen Waters and Richard Beverage, Sue Martin and Joe Larcher, Betty White and Jimmy Conway, and Nancy Jo Canary and Jim Teale. On Saturday evening, October 20, Mrs. C. D. McCabe and Martha drove to Claremore for the first parents' week-end and open house at O.M.A. The reception was held in the Field House and was followed by an informal dance. Walter McCabe, Martha's brother, is now a freshman in the junior college division of O.M.A. He will complete his fourth fand lastl year of R.O.T.C. this year. Many of the Holland Hall girls drove down to Muskogee, Sunday, October 21, to witness the Cascia-St. Joe football game. Eileen Maloney and Sue Martin led the girls in cheers. Others that lived the game with our boysi' were: Jean Ache, Nancy Jo Canary, Virginia McMillin, Janey Porter, Mary Ellen Waters, Betty White, Mimi White, and Sue Woodring. In the Lower School social life has for the most part taken the form of small group get-togethers. There have been two class parties. On September 21 Susan Key invited the members of the fourth grade to her home after school. Monopoly was played and delicious refreshments of cake and cocoa were served. Those present were: Kitty Lou Coffman, Gayle Goodnough, Carolyn Ann Holmes, Jacque Elaine Lair, and the hostess. On October 28 Kaye Creekmore gave a slumber party for the sixth grade. They arrived as goblins and ghosts for a night of horrors. What they did to celebrate Hallowe'en is still a secret. Guests included Martha Canterbury, Marie Dickason, Eddie May Gregory, Cadijah Helmerich, and Su- zanne Lindsay. MISS MCCORMACK ENTERTAINS OUT-OF-TOWN VISITORS On Saturday, October 27, Miss McCormack, principal of Holland Hall, was hostess at a coffee, given at the school residence, 1900 East Forty-first Street, from eleven to one, honoring Mrs. Alfred Albion Adams, Jr., and Mrs. Sheridan J. Thorup, of Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts. The visitors were returning from a visit with Mrs, Adams, mother in California. In Tulsa they divided their time between Miss McCormack and Mr. and Mrs. Paul Reed. Mrs. Adams is a first cousin of Mr. Reed. At Miss McCormack's at-home, Mrs. Reed assisted in receiving. Others assisting were Mrs. Varley Taylor and Miss Elizabeth Randolph, who greeted guests in the hall. In the dining room those who poured were: Mrs. Pauline Chappell Keaton, Mrs. Robert Sonen, Mrs. B. B. Weatherby, and Mrs. Stewart Williams. Assisting in the dining room also were Mrs, Charles Gilbert, Mrs. M. L, Mize, Miss Leonore Egan, Miss Pat Galbreath, Miss Delta Lockewitz, Miss June Scarborough, Miss Eleanor Ann Weather- by. Among the guests were early friends and neighbors of Holland Hall, representatives of the present Parents, Asso- ciation of Holland Hall, acquaintances of the honorees, and friends who had been closely associated with Miss McCormack through Radcliffe College, through the Seven Colleges' or- MISS HOLLAND HALL - November,1945 ganization, through A.A.U.W., and through the Unitarian Church. NANCY LACKEY ENTERTAINS RESIDENT STUDENTS AT HER HOME NEAR BIXBY By Ann Henry CGrade 81 Saturday, October 20, was a red letter day with the Oak- wold girls who enjoyed the hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Lackey, Jr., and Nancy Lackey at their farm home near Bixby. Miss Anderson, starting at ten o'clock, made two trips by station wagon. First to arrive were Nancy Lackey, Marie Coyle, Pat Davis, Tam Dudley, Maurine Johnson, Jane Marshall, and Ruby Jean Webb. Nancy, Pat, Tam, and Ruby Jean promptly saddled some horses and went riding in the woods, where they chased some cows around. Mrs. Lackey took the other three riding in a carton the road outside. The second load brought Barbara Bach, Rosie Brown, Dottie Lind- burg, Rita Pettigrew, Marilyn Sexton, Joan Story, and Meg Simpson. When Miss Anderson arrived with this second load, all went to see the pigs. Dottie Lindburg caught a little one. About this time the riders came back and all had a picnic lunch on the lawn. Afterward other girls went riding. The rest played around the barn or went for walks. Later a number of the girls tried their luck at fishing. Marie Coyle, Tam Dudley, Dottie Lindburg, and Jane Marshall caught some. In mid-afternoon Mrs. Lackey served hot chocolate and cookies. Then the guests looked at some trophies won by the stallion, Silver Flash, and some ribbons won by the gelding, Lion Hearted. Then Mrs. Lackey made Laddie, the collie pup, do some of his tricks. He played a miniature piano, shook hands, rolled over, and begged. All the girls were very sorry when they had to say goodbye to Mr. and Mrs. Lackey at five. It was a wonderful day. PARENTS DONATE CAMPUS BENCHES By Martha Hoke CGrade 97 Holland Hall now boasts six benches which were purchased during the summer and donated to the school by the Parents' Association. They are exactly like new benches which may be found in many of the city parks, made of cement with sturdy wooden backboards. Each is placed in a suitable position on the school grounds, at spots where pupils are free to go if they wish. Each bench holds four or five girls comfortably and has a capacity for more. Another point to mention is the fact that the benches are cemented into the ground and will not collapse or break apart as many wooden benches would do in time. These are good for many years' service. Miss Holland Hallu is glad to express thanks on behalf of all the students to the parents for this timely gift. Eighth grade pals take over one of new campus benches. From left to right: Ann Henry, Cora Jean Mundy, Joanne Kennedy, Ann Bailliere, Pat Davis. ,,g,,,,,,w .,.v L . e. .eww tim... , y.,,v.-- -. - . .. .. .M M .wat .,.,m,m.w,......,,,, STUDENTS HOLD ELECTION Student elections came to a close on September 20.

ELLIOTT DARE SPEAKS AT ASSEMBLY By Julia Ann Park fGrade 93 On Monday, September 17, we were happy to have with us at our 9:00 oiclock assembly John Elliott Dare fin private life, John Cahillj, an interesting young Hollywood person- ality. Mr. Dare told us of his own career and much about Hollywood in general. As a boy, it seems, Mr. Dare attended Leland, a private school in Southampton, Long Island, and during his years in this school he both wrote and produced plays. He is now with the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios. His latest picture is The Corn Is Green, in which he portrayed Glen Thomas, one of the five friends of Morgan Evans. In radio he has appeared on such programs as mSuspense', and Mayor of the Town. Mr. Dare gave us a few facts about a typical Hollywood day. Most stars are out of bed by 6:00 a. m., in order to make the studio by 7:00 a. m. The first stop is the make-up depart- ment, then to the wardrobe department. Then final touches are given and they are ready for the stage. During a long day in front of the camera, one hears such loud commands as Lights, Camera,', Action,y' Print It,', 'iCut It,H No Good, and QUIET! Later Mr, Dare asked for questions from the audience. A battery of inquiries followed: Do you know Bette Davis? Frank Sinatra? Van Johnson? Lana Turner? Lon McAllister? Tom Drake? Robert Walker? Walter Pidgeon? Jennifer Jones? From the many questions and answers we found that Hollywood stars are as nice looking off the stage as on. Mr. Dareys greatest dislike in motion pictures is the 'Qscene stealerf' What he likes most about mo- tion pictures is working with pleasant people. He prefers mo- tion pictures to radio because in radio everything must be timed to the second, which makes it very nerve-racking. Mr. Dareis hope is to found in Hollywood a club for young people who want to get ahead in motion pictures. He plans 14 'Z-iii -K ' 'il 'HN i to have a staff of famous actors who will sit down and talk to young hopefuls and encourage or if need be discourage them. While in Tulsa he purposes to open a drama center. He likes Tulsa very much and we are sure that Tulsa will like him. As a person he is full of ambition, vitality, and determination. RED CROSS WORKER SPEAKS AT ASSEMBLY By Ann Henry fGrade 83 We were very happy to have Miss Elizabeth Edgington, Red Cross worker, visit us Friday, October 12, and tell us at assembly about her work overseas. She is the aunt of Grace Crowder, who is in the Holland Hall seventh grade. She was introduced by Martha McCabe, of our own Junior Red Cross council. Miss Edgington's eighteen months overseas started when she flew from San Francisco to Hickham Field in Hawaii. From there she took off for Johnston Island, a small spot in the Pacific, and Guaduline, where she washed dishes in a canteen. Then she went to Guam, and finally stopped in Manila. She told us about a big party which she gave there for our soldiers. Every WAC she saw on the street was invited so that there would be enough girls. When the boys arrived, she was amazed at how transformed they looked with fresh hair cuts and im- maculate apparel. Weill she exclaimed. I-Iere you are all dressed up for the Wacs. I wash your dishes and scrub your fioors, but you never dress up for me! Doubtless here she smiled, as she smiled at us. After her talk she showed us some moving pictures she had taken of animals in Australia, also some pictures of natives on the islands she had visited. Some of the natives had dyed the hair on the top of the head with peroxide. This custom is practiced by -only the very fashionable. At the close we all felt as if we had taken a trip to the South Pacific, thanks to Miss Edgington. VISITOR FROM ISABELLA THOBURN COLLEGE SPEAKS AT ASSEMBLY No more impressive address has been given this year than that of Miss Marjorie Dimmitt, head of the English depart- ment of Isabella Thoburn College, Lucknow, India, at the 8:40 assembly Friday, October 19. Miss Dimmitt is a sister of Mrs. C. D. lVlcCabe. She has spent her furlough studying at Clarem-ont College, the graduate school of Scripps and Po- mona. She is now en route to New York, from which port she will sail for India, presumably by way of the Suez Canal. Though Miss Dimmitt was in Tulsa only two days, she came out with Martha to see our school. She rode the school bus, had the seat just back of Walter and was ready with a greeting as each girl on entering was presented. Miss Dimmitt is a tall slender lady, with a keen eye and a sweet face. Clearly she likes young people. She was born the daughter of a Methodist minister. She was graduated from De Pauw University and received her masteris degree from Wellesley College. She was serving as an assistant in the English department at Wellesley when she decided to go to New York and apply to the Mission Board for work in India. She had always wanted to raise the standard of living for down-trodden women, she believed that educating women was the surest means of helping women to emancipate themselves. So she was sent to India's college for women. The Isabella Thoburn College, now about eighty-five years old, is the oldest college for women in the Orient. It has high standards. No one teaches on the college staff unless November, 1945 -- MISS HOLLAND HALL she has a master's degree. The enrollment is limited to three hundred, not more than one hundred of which may be day pupils. Probably fifty per cent of the pupils are Christian: Mohammedanism and the Hindu religion and other minor re- ligions are represented. At least fourteen different mother tongues are represented. There are some Anglo-Indians, girls with one parent English. Miss Dimmitt spoke of our American boys who have been stationed in India during the war. They will bring back many stories of India, she says, and often conflicting stories. Inevit- ably they will be impressed with the poverty and dirt of that country of millions. Holland Hall will think of India's col- lege for women in a much more personal way in the future. We wish Miss Dimmitt a pleasant journey and a happy re- union with the young people she has elected to serve. STUDENTS HEAR ABOUT DRIVERS' LICENCES By Julia Ann Park fGrade 97 On Tuesday, October 9, second hour classes were skipped in order to make way for the 9:45 assembly. Captain McGuire of the Traffic Squad and Lt. Riggs of the Motorcycle Corps had come to tell us of the responsibilities involved in driving an automobile. Before you are entitled to drive a car, you must have a license. There are several kinds of licenses: 1, the beginners, license, 2, the to-and-from school license, and 3, the adult's license. The beginneris license, offered to anyone over fourteen, allows you sixty days in which to learn to drive. However, some older person that holds a driveris license must be in the car with the beginner. The to-and-from school license limits oneis driving to the trip to and from school with no detours. An older person need not be in the car. The minimum age is fourteen. Anybody over sixteen is eligible for the adult or operator's license, provided he takes the test and passes with a grade of eighty or above. This license is good for two years. The chauffeur's license is still another thing, it permits the holder to transport people in his car. Shocking as it may seem, as many people were killed or injured by automobiles during the past five years as there were Americans killed during the war. The most frequent used to prevent accidents. In the first place, educational meth- cause of automobile accidents is failure to enter an intersection at a slow speed. Tickets are given for two types of violations, still or parking violations and moving violations. En- forcing traffic laws is no gameg many policemen have been killed chasing after speeding motorists. Three methods are HOLLAND HALL GROUP ods are used: certain officers come and speak to children. In the second place, civil engineering into play. The intersections with high accident rates to find the cause of so many mishaps there: maybe on the corner are too high or the stop button is the school is brought are studied the bushes in an un- satisfactory place. In the third place, enforcement is used, policemen stop violators. We were given a rule for safe driv- ing: Enter every intersection as if expecting another auto. The motor scooter is the traffic department's number one prob- lem. It is condemned as a death trap because it does not offer ample protection for the body in case of an accident, neither does it have safe brakes. The speed limit in Tulsa is thirty miles an hour except in the business section, where it is twenty, and in the country, where it is from fifteen to a hundred miles per hour. 1 The talks given by Captain McGuire and Lt. Riggs aroused much interest on the part of all. Even those not fourteen be- sieged the speakers with questions. MISS HOLLAND HALL - November,1945 game. At the game the different groups met their respective hosts and hostesses and returned with them to their homes for the night and all day Saturday. At 5:30 p. m. on Saturday the girls were entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Traugh at their home on Nichols Hill with a supper at the barbecue pit. At the close of the supper the bus was waiting to bring the visitors back to Tulsa. The following girls made the trip: Barbara Bach, Rosemary Brown, Marie Coyle, Patricia Davis, Tamara Dudley, Maurine Johnson, Nancy Lackey, Kitty Ledbetter, Dorothy Lindburg, Delma Jo Mason, Ellen Mc- Ewen, Cora Jean Mundy, Rita Pettigrew, Mary Alma Porter, Marilyn Sexton, Joan Story, Rosemary Traugh, Ruby Jean Webb. Also making the trip were Dean Anderson, Mrs. Margaret Marshall, and Miss Marjorie Gustafson. All voted the occasion the grandest of grand times. NINTH GRADE STAGES OPERETTA The ninth grade girls gave the first in a series of student assembly programs on Friday morning, October 19, at 9:45. The performance was a humorous musical version of the Cinderella story. The first act showed Cinderella fDebby Pagej in shabby hand-me-downs busy with curling iron on the coif- fures of the proud sisters fVirginia Ruprecht and Katty Whitel. The proud sisters, who were preparing for the Prince's ball, were resplendent, the one in white, the other in a pink formal with ostrich feather trim. The fairy godmorher fDiana Kirkl looked tall in a formal of light and deep toned pink, with white chiffon veil hanging from the shoulders. The pumpkin, the rats, and the mice were metamorphosed into chariots, horses, and footmen in the stage wings and were described for us in song by the amazed Cinderella. The transformation of Cinder- ella took place on stage and revealed a lovely girl in cream net formal with narrow gold band trim. Act II, the ballroom scene, included the following waltzers, Cinderella with the Prince fMary Lee Mulhalll: Virginia Ruprecht and Katty White fthe proud sistersj with Caroline Clarke and Dottie Lindburgg Carol Bryan fin pale green, with Martha McCabe, Margaret Ann Graham fin a red net with red velvet topl with Martha Hokeg and Milly Wilson fin pale blue taffetal with Julia Ann Park. Act III shifted back to the home of Cinderella. She is again in rags, the proud sisters again prinking when the Prince enters. He is accompanied by the Page fMarie Coylel carry- ing on a cushion the slipper dropped by Cinderella at the ball. The mate to the shoe is produced by Cinderella, the proud sisters are silenced, and all ends as it should. Accompanist for the operetta was Joyce Jones, a member of the senior class. Also playing for the ballroom scene was Miss Marjorie Gus- tafson, of the Upper School staff, who furnished violin music. VISITS OKLAHOMA CITY Holland Hall resident students had a marvelous time the week-end of October Z6-Z7, when they were house-guests in Oklahoma City. Hosts for the occasion were parents of the seven Oklahoma City girls in residence: Mr. and Mrs. R. V. Bach, Mr. and Mrs. Mart Brown, Mr. and Mrs. E. Julian Davis, Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Ledbetterg Mr. and Mrs. J. Earl Mason, Mr. and Mrs. R. Porter, Mr. and Mrs. R. P. Traugh. A chartered bus left the school residence at 1900 East Forty-First Street promptly at 3:30 on Friday, the 26th. A box lunch was served en route that the visitors might reach their destination in time for the Classen-Webster football 15 W IX bl IX I IX ,RTMENT STORE 0 FOURTHSKMAIN 0 DIAL 2-7101 Suited to the Season Celia Nesbitt, Sophomore student at Holland Hall, is suited for the holiday season and all occasions thereafter in a suit!

The Man the Sophomores Date: The Man the Sopho- mores Would Like to Date: THE ART FASHIONS OF NOT LISTENING By Bee Riley lGrade 123 Your roving reporter picked up these Exclusive at Holland Hall D MAC-FAC-STU, I decided on a topic on which I could speak with great authority and knowledge--that being, the art of not listening, Perhaps my readers are wondering why I say the Hart of not listening. But you will have to admit that it is an art if someone can be sitting in a quiet room to all appearance listen- ing to a lecture and yet not hearing a word of it. Now I nnd myselt sitting in a class-room staring into space totally unconscious of anything that is going on. This in itself is undoubtedly an art. Some people call not listening a dis- ease. I imagine that the people who clay-dream are most susceptible. There is the simple case of not listening-single attacks at long intervals-and there are the cnronic cases. Both are extremely annoying to teacners. 1 am one ot :nose lucky or unlucky people who is blessed with a chronic case ot not listening. I notionly hear notning tnat happens in the class-room, but I cunt even read any- thing at all so that I can remember it. Occasionally I hear a word or two of a discussion, but it is to my distress after the discussion to find that I can remem- ber nothing. At times this kind of chronic case can be very frightening to a person. I find myself often wondering if all the screws are tight in my brain. My advice to those of you who have simple cases and who have not as yet joined the Club of the Art of Not Listen- ing is to stay on your side of the fence and not to join our club, for some of us are hopelessly incurable.

Barbara Bach arrived early last night for the unveiling of Aunt Teeny's Tool House Cookies. For this occasion she wore a sloppy-joe red sweater and orange flannel pajamas. This is predicted to be a popular new trend in the latest fashions. It is not only comfortable and warm, but is also quite easy on the eyes. Marilyn Sexton, who is known for her tantalizing styles, was seen leaping from bed to bed in a shocking pink gunny sack. In her hair she proudly displayed the contents of an iodine bot- tle. We hear that this is considered very chic this season. While we were observing the occupants of this table, we couldn't help noticing the lovely shade of green nail polish worn by Mary Alma Porter. It was really quite the thing! Maurine Johnson, one of the more con- servative type, crawled in to avoid the proctor. She was dressed in a lovely orange and pink stripe alfair with a Holland Hall sweater wrapped around her head. This is for the oriental effect --so I'm told. Last, but certainly not least, we saw Dot Lindburg and Rosie Brown leap out of a closet in two beauti- ful ensembles. Dot was wearing a charm- ing robe of purple satin trimmed in pale blue fringe, while Rosie wore her un- forgettable red pajamas. These two beautifully dressed creatures brought with them the sad news that the proctor was on her way and unless everyone wanted to get campused, she had best be on her way. And so we end another glorious eve- ning at the famous After-Ten-Club. Goodnight. , . . , y., . i,...s.,1.-s...,...fa..,,,.......sff.-is-1.1111-tafa-lm-1--fee:-.-sew .. ' . sm.,-.. .

For the benefit of those who decide to enter Holland Hall in an attempt to capture an education, this writing is set down that they may know what to expect from the first day at school. The heroine of this gem of literature is a y-oung girl who just couldn't understand how she could go to college without first scraping up every bit of knowledge there was to be gained in high school. So after burying her nose in all the books afforded her in a small public high school for four years, she exhumed herself and started searching for bigger and better volumes. One fair day in August an ill wind blew a catalogue of Holland Hall right into her hands. Immediately she decided that this was the very school she had been looking for. She was so pleased with her discovery that she got in touch with the principal. After administering an I. test with net proceeds of 40, the principal agreed that it would indeed be quite an honor for the school to have a student who could whistle through her teeth. So our heroine packed her be- longings and moved to Tulsa. On the first. day of school she dressed in gay apparel and undauntedly marched forth to Holland Hall. As she walked: she thought, Isn't this wonderful? Imagine going to a private school-to teachers who are real teacherslv She was confident that the other students would be glad to see her. Why, even now, she could see a reception committee awaiting her arrival. Naturally, she was in for a great disappointment, for from the moment she passed through the portals, only confusion pre- vailed. She was being introduced to everyone in the Upper Schoolfrlaower School, and kindergarten. A droning voice repeated names at a lightning paceg faces swam before herg people scurried here and there, a juke box was blaring in the next room. When that ordeal was at last over, the classes began. The poor girl was dragged and pushed from one classroom to another. She was beginning to wish she were at home next door to that nice little boiler factory where she could have a little peace and quiet to collect her thought. But of course this was too late in the game to withdraw. Assignments were hurled at her: write a theme tonight on the complete history of the world and hand it in to me at dawng memorize the entire French vocabulary, define all the words you find in the dictionaryg read this history book and be able to pass a ten-minute, one-hundred-questions test over it tomorrow, split an atom and bring the pieces to me in chem- istry. NEVER had she been so exhausted from taking down assignment notes. Next she was called in for a physical ex- amination. I-Iere's a toe fifteen degrees out of alignmentf, sang the doctor. You have a misplaced vein in your left- hand. thumb. One arch is higher than the other. You have only one tonsil. It's absolutely a miracle that you're alive. I suggest that you have operations immediately to correct these difiiculties. Otherwise they may prove serious in your later life. When our candidate for misfortune painfully dragged her- self home, she fell into the first chair she came to and vowed that she would never return to the horrors of Holland Hall. However, as soon as she recovered from her case of battle fatigue, she regained her confidence and again entered the Temple of Knowledge to resume her search for a Upiecei' of mind. 20 MMV ON BEING A WAI'TRESS By Mary jane Feemster KC-irade 121 Having been a volunteer waitress this summer for the American Women's Volunteer Service, I can easily sympathize with waitresses. The A.W.V.S. has staffed the Chamber of Commerce dining room for about two years as one of its many war-time and peace-time activities. When the Chamber of Commerce was threatening to close its dining room because of the impossibility of obtaining waitresses during the help short- age, the A.W.V.S. stepped right in and has been doing a very good job. Last summer I served lunches at the Chamber of Commerce dining room on Monday noons and I had enough of it on that one day to last me until the next week. Although it was hard work, I can truthfully say I had a lot of fun out of it. It was usually my job to serve the board of directors. There were six of them, but they had to be served in their own air conditioned conference room. This meant that all their food had to be brought down in the freight elevator, since the kitchen was on the fourth floor and their cool dining room was on the second. The riding of the freight elevator was an experience of its own. There are many places where you see a strange group of people, but you haven't seen anything until you have ridden a freight elevator. After lugging down carts full of food you usually have to wait for the members to arrive. First two men come in and sit down and begin to talk. You start to put their plates down and discover that they have just spread papers out in front of them. You clear your throat and they realize you are trying to serve them. They immediately start to pick up the papers and after some clever juggling on their part you can put their lunch down. You then politely ask them for their tickets. Then starts the everlasting search in their millions of pockets. After they have gone through their pants pockets, they start in on their coat pockets. Ah! There it is in their vest pocket. By this time two more men have sat down and are already in a deep conversation. They donit have any papers so they are explaining by drawing on the tablecloth. They are leaning all over their places and their arms are right where the plates should be. They finally see you and sit up so you can put their plates down. Then you wait some more. They look up to see what you are waiting for and you inform them that their napkins are in the way. Q'Would you please move your napkin? Other men come in and take their salad plates and put them in front of them and start to town. You invariably have to ask them to get them out of the way. Then come the drinks. Will you have coffee or milk? you ask. There are always a few who answer by saying tea. Hot tea isn't so bad, but iced tea is terrible. If you are short on time you just say they don't have any, but if you have enough time you go out into the kitchen and start to work. First you get some hot water from the urn and then search for the tea balls. After making the hot tea you go get a glass of ice and pour the tea. Since school has started I have usually been serving dinners on Tuesday evenings. There are many groups of people who eat on that night. On October 2 I served the head table of the Knife and Fork Club dinner. I kn-ow that people don't mean to be inconsiderate of their waitresses, but they are and after my experiences, I hereby swear myself to be more con- siderate. November, 1945 - MISS HOLLAND HALL I. DO YOU KNOW YOUR MONEY? By Pattie Chapman fGrade 85 On being given the assignment to write a story on money, I had an appointment to see Mr. A. P. Wright, executive vice-president of the Tulsa National Bank of Commerce. I went into the bank and Mr. Wright showed me into the presi- dentis oHice. He left me, and when he came back, he had a handful of money. First he showed me the one thousand dollar bill. President Cleveland's picture is on the front, on the back are the words, The United States of America and One Thousand Dollars in large print. The bills of larger denomination are of special interest because they are seldom seen in every day circulation. The five hundred dollar bill has President McKinley's picture on the front, the words, Five Hundred Dollars, in bold print are on the back. Next Mr. Wright handed me a one hundred dollar bill. Benjamin Franklinys picture is on the right side, on the other is a picture of Independence Hall and the words, One Hundred Dollarsf' in medium size print just below it. Perhaps more familiar to some of us is the fifty dollar bill with President Grant's picture on the main side. On the re- verse is a picture of the capitol of the United States and the words, Fifty Dollarsf' printed below the picture. More widely used is the twenty dollar bill with President jacksonspicture on the front, on the back is a picture of the White House and below it the words, Twenty Dollarsf, The picture of Alex- ander Hamilton, first Secretary of the Treasury, is on the front of the ten dollar bill, a picture of the United States' Treasury building and the words, Ten Dollars, printed underneath are on the reverse. All of the bills that have been described so far are federal reserve notes. The next three types of bills are silver certificates. President Abraham Lincoln, whom all of us have read and heard plenty about, is on the right side of the five dollar bill. The other side has a picture of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D. C., and the words, Five Dollars, printed beneath. The two dollar bill is just about as rare as the one thousand dollar bill. Most people consider this one as unlucky. It has Presi- dent Jeffersonis picture on the main side. The back has a picture of Monticello, the home of Jefferson, and the words, Two Dollars, printed below. One with which we are all absolutely acquainted is that good old one dollar bill. We all know that President George Washington's picture is on the front. The other side has two pictures, the Great Seal and the Seal of the United States. A very large printed l'One comes between the two pictures. Now you all know what nearly all of the bills look like. LUTHER BURBANK By Grace E. Crowder fGrade 73 Luther Burbank did not have wealth, but he gave wealth to the world. His parents had ambitions of their own for him, but he loved the outdoor world. His products have pro- vided the world with new and better food. The sour little sand plum was transformed into a rich sweet fruit. Often he had to choose between work and wealth. He always chose work and sometimes it was real work. Upon being asked what was his most important product, Burbank replied, It is not the product that is important. It is that I have educated the world in knowing how to grow new and better foods. MISS HOLLAND HALL - November,1945 A HIKE TO THE OSAGE TERRITORY By Laura Clarke fGrade 73 I live on Reservoir Hill. One morning in the latter part of May, my sister, Caroline, and a friend, Billie June Dorney, and I were playing badminton when a Piper Cub flew very low over us. It looked as if it was going to land. We ran toward the reservoir to see it, little realizing how this inci- dent would lure us into further adventure. When we reached there, the plane was descending on a near-by small landing field. Billie suggested that we go over there. Caroline and I agreed, but decided that we should first hurry home and prepare some lunch. On our way back, just as we started down the hill, the first mishap occurred. Billie fell down in the mud. Well, darnlu she exclaimed disgustedly. uYou look mighty silly, giggled Caroline. Yes, isn't it funny? Ha! Ha! retorted Billie sarcastically. Billie got up, brushed herself off, and we continued. We came to a road, crawled with much difficulty under a fence, scrambled through some bushes, and crossed a little stream. After we appeased our ravenous appetites, we hid our coats and lunch kits and proceeded to explore further. Suddenly something moved from beneath my feet. Oh!', I screamed. Caroline and Billie laughed heartily as they watched a fast disappearing lizard. I laughed too, though I didn't think it was very funny. After a weary climb we came to the top of a hill. The summit formed a large flat plain. Continuing farther we came upon an old oil well. We were curious to see how it looked: instead we found how it stank! Her curiosity never satisfied, Billie walked on to the top of another hill, with us lagging along behind. We were excited to learn that she had discovered what seemed to be an Indian burial ground. We wanted to explore, but we realized that it was late and we should start home. We had gone only a little way when we spied some- thing that looked like the skeleton of a hand. Oh, some bonesll' exclaimed Caroline. It looks like a hand, I muttered weakly. Let's go homef, Billie wailed. No, let's find out what it is, said Caroline courageously, stooping to pick it up. Uh-what is it?,' I asked. 'iTeeth, answered Caroline. Teethl Billie and I murmured. Yes, replied Caroline unmoved, Horse teeth, probably. She and Billie pocketed them and we started off to find our coats and lunch kits. We finally located the spot where we had concealed them. We plodded homeward, tired and dirty, but well pleased with ourselves and our hike. A BAD BOY'S FATE By Eddie May Gregory KG:-ade 67 One Hallowe'en night in a dark shadowy lane A bad boy spied a witch hobbling by on her cane, With her eyes a piercing and glowing red, And a black pointed hat upon her lean head, She snatched him up, disappeared to the moon, And he'll not be seen in these parts very soon. 21 I 3 I MY MOST EMBARRASSING MOMENT By Peggy Wilson fGrade 75 I have been embarrassed many times in my life, but one of the most outstanding instances occurred when I was about five years old. I was visiting a camp in Tennessee with my family and their friends and having been left alone in the cabin, was tempted to explore. After a short investigation, I came upon a table-too high for me to glimpse the top, but low enough to feel around a little bit. My groping hands felt a small object and pulled it down. A pen! Even though it wasnit familiar, I was just too eager! I gleefully opened it, examined it, replaced it on the table, and was about to resume my former innocence, when - alas! I discovered too late that the pen was leaky and had left its mark on my sun-suit. Later the ink-spot was questioned and I confessed all. But I have never been more embarrassed than when I meekly apologized to Mr. Smith for my misadventure. WHAT THE STORK BROUGHT By Kaye Creekmore fGrade 63 My daddy always tells me that if he ever catches the stork that brought me, he will pluck out his tail feathers one by one. The queer old bird deposited me at St. Antony's Hospital in Oklahoma City on April 30, 1934. I have been a good girl with the exception of three times. The first time I pulled the telephone down and it almost hit my head. The pain of my daddy's hand only added to the weight of the telephone. How well I remember starting to school. On my first day at Barnard I became so confused in the cafeteria that I couldn't find our line. I trudged home that afternoon wishing I'd never have to go back again. Once, several years later, my cousin and I thought that we would play in the creek. We stayed there so long that Mother and Daddy sent the police after us. That night I went to bed at six-thirty. At camp last summer it was the rule that you must eat everything on your plate. Well, one evening we had squash for dinner. I didnyt like squash, but they didn't let me go. They made me eat it anyway. It turned out that I love squash. I always liked Barnard School and the thought of chang- ing to Holland Hall didnyt appeal to me at all, but now that I am here, I wouldn't trade for anything. I have had many ambitions. When I was five, I wanted to be a detective be- cause I read so many comic magazines. Now I couldn't decide whether to be a nurse or a reporter. I imagine it will be the latter, for I am having much practice during our reading period. WHAT I DID ON MY VACATION By Gayle Goodnough fGrade 43 My cousin came through Tulsa in June to see her grand- parents, who live in Oklahoma City. She came by plane and we went to meet her. The next day I went to Oklahoma City to play with her. She was the only child on the block. There was an ice cream factory a block away and they sold you cones with four big ice cream balls for only five cents. We went to Grand Lake for two weeks. We caught eleven fish and went boat riding five times a day. We went swim- ming three times a day. On V-J Day we were still up at the lake. The people who own the cabin made a pan of pop- corn. We played cards all evening and swam and went boat riding. When I started back to school, I was glad, 'although I had a very nice summer. 22 BEFORE I GREW UP By Cornelia Hall fGrade 7D It was on August 23, 1933, that the stork brought me to 1831 East 17th Place. I was a load, but he managed me. Since then our house has never been quite the same. When I was one, my mother took me to New York on the train. We just had a day coach. All the way I ran back and forth taking everybody's pocketbook. Finally the porter gave Mother a room free--anything to keep me out of the aisle. One day when I was three, Mother went to a party. A little boy and I got into the ice-box while she was away and ate a whole pound of butter. I started to school when I was three. I didn't like it at all, in fact, I never cared much about going to school until I came to Holland Hall. Many times I became suddenly ill when the time came for school. One cold snowy day in January I felt far too bad to go to school that day. When my teacher called, I became well as suddenly as I had become sick: she had told Mother that there would be no school. Now that I am in Holland Hall, I enjov my school work. Maybe I am growing up. THE LITTLE DOG THAT WOULD NOT WAG HIS TAIL A Book Review by Pat Flint fGrade 55 Time: Now. Setting: Farm. Characters: Mother Dogg Father Dogg the five Puppiesg Girl, Boy, Farmer. Plot: The little dog would not wag his tail because he thought it was silly. Mother Dog became very much worried about him at the end of a week's lessons. His mother asked him, Why don't you wag your tail?', Because it is silly, he said. One day they met a little boy clown the road. All but Noodles, the stubborn puppy, wagged their tails and barked. The boy gave a piece of candy to each puppy but Noodles. Noodles was sad. Soon they met a little girl. They wagged their tails and barked, all but Noodles. She gave the other four puppies each a piece of pretzel. Noodles was mad now. The five puppies were very thirsty, so they went to a farm house door and barked, all but Noodles. And the same thing happened. He was the only one who did not get water. It happened again when the farmer came around the house with some bones. Then wasnit Noodles mad! He growled and tried to snap at the farmer. Before he knew it, the farmer's boot had him right under the neck and he had landed out in the lane leading to the barn with his nose pointed homewatd. He did not wait for his brothers and sisters, but ran home just as fast as he could. 'tYapI Yap! Yaplv he cried. 1'What's the matter, Noodles?H asked his mother. The little boy didnit give me any candy, the little girl didnit give me a pretzel, the farmer's wife didn't give me a drink, the farmer didn't give me a bone-and, HE KICKED MEV, Mother dog told him then how important it is to have manners. She said he had to learn the hard way. Mother dog had to laugh when she looked out later and saw the other puppies teaching Noodles to bark, make a bow, and finally to wag his tail. She knew then that he had learned his lesson. November, 1945 - MISS HOLLAND HALL M' HOW I SPENT MY VACATION I By Kitty Lou Coffman CGrade 43 I had a very nice time this summer while I was in Ken- tucky. I visited on a farm. I helped in the garden and fed the chickens. One week we went into town and stayed with some friends and we went to the county fair nearly every day. We went on the merry-go-round and saw a beautiful horse show. When my visit was over, my dad came for me and we came home on the train, HOW I SPENT MY VACATION By Susan Key lGrade 43 My vacation was not spent as I had planned. I was going to girl scout camp, but a few days before I was to go, my daddy told us we were to move to Tulsa. I had to come to Tulsa with my mother to look for a house. It was hard to End one, so I spent my vacation riding from Shreveport to Tulsa and back again. My great-grandmother lives in Henry- etta and I stayed with her a week. She owns a store and I had fun helping her sell candy. AT OUR CABIN By Anne Wolfe CGrade 53 As soon as I came home from camp, we went to our cabin. Wfe had guests and it was fun. My brother caught a turtle and painted him red. We have a swimming pool and we swam a lot. My brother and two other boys went hunting and my brother shot seven doves. One night one boy got sick and had to go home. He cried because he didn't want to go home. So that left two boys and three girls. Sunday we went to Crystal City. Monday all the guests went home and Tuesday my brother started to school. AUTUMN 'S WINDS By Martha Canterbury fGrade 63 Autumn leaves are floating by, LONG JOHN SILVER By Ann Henry 1Grade 83 A wicked old pirate, but brave was he, The most dangerous man that has sailed the sea. He sailed with Flint around the world, The Jolly Roger was the flag they unfurled. On the I-lispaniola a meeting was planned, In this evil doing Long John had a handy He was after the map that showed the treasure, To this desperate end he would stop at no measure He hobbled around on a wooden peg, Because in a light he had lost a leg, This villainous pirate was full of deceit, Such a cruel character I'd hate to meet. AUTUMN FESTIVAL By Louise Curran 1Grade 73 Autumn has arrived with her pumpkins of gold, And turkeys are strutting like men of oldg Squirrels are scampering round about, Gathering their nuts before the season's out. MIDNIGHT MAGIC By Laura Clarke fGrade 73 The witches won't venture out when it's light, They stay in seclusion long past midnight, Then creep around slowly by a thin, pale moon, Stirring their brew with a queer magic spoon. MR. PUMPKIN By Suzanne Lindsay KGrade 63 The pumpkin is a merry fellow Colors gay against the 5ky3 smiling face of golden yellow, A lusty wind sittin' with the wrinkled witches Scattering their beauty from place to place. While they sew their crooked stitches. RAIN THE WICKED OLD WITCH TI-IAT'S ME! By Hodgie Shaw lGrade 13 By Marie Dickason fGrade 63 'lWho likes the rain? I, said the duck.

Yes. we are really a part of the Upper School. Elections were in the lime-light the first days of school, with class officers, Red Cross representatives, and student council members being chosen. Officers elected were: president, Ann Arnold, vice- president, Ronda Russell, secretary, Ann Bailliere, treasurer, Pat Davis, Red Cross representatives, Pattie Chapman and Barbara McGill, and student council member, Ann Henry. Watch the what-not shelf in the eighth grade home room for the growing collection of dogs, for they have been ch-osen as the class mascots. Girls of the eighth grade have not only started enthusias- tically on class work, but are participating in many extra- curricular activities. Ann Arnold, Leah Britton, Joey Canter- bury, Josephine Davis, Ann Henry, Barbara McGill, Cora Jean Mundy and Meg Simpson are not attempting to become female Iturbis, but they are working hard at their piano lessons. Ann Arnold is again taking voice lessons from Wil- helm Schmidt. Eighth graders are well represented in the Camera Club. Helping to add interesting and comical photos to this magazine are Ann Arnold, Pattie Chapman, Pat Davis, Tamara Dudley, Joanne Kennedy, Ronda Russell, and Meg Simpson. The four with horse-back riding mania are Joey Canterbury, Pat Davis, Tamara Dudley, and Jane Marshall. November, 1945 - MISS HOLLAND HALL in nu ui in in n- n- Illu--nu -nn-nn .u .n ui 1 ..- ..- -u --i ..- .... -.un-u..u -un..----.. -- su ..- ---.ns-.n .. -.. ..-. Fall has always been the time of year when plans are made, remodeled, and acted upon, and Holland Hall alumnae seem to be leading the field on all three counts. Schools and col- leges were finally decided upon, new careers were launched, and more husbands found, projects which have scattered us to all corners of this continent and to a few assorted corners outside the U. S. HERE . . . Jean McIntyre Gilbert, '39, can now be found in Tulsa at the home of her parents while Chuck is overseas. Rumor hath it that Jean is all set to go to work for the Alumnae Associa- tion. but we're afraid that the mothers may claim her first since Chuck Jr. is now a member of the undergraduate body. Mary Jane McAnally, '39, is here too, hard at work for Stanolind. Mary Manahan Petrine, '39, is taking care of Bill's insurance business, and living at home, while Bill is stationed in Hawaii. Betty Walter Allen, '39, is settling here twice over, with an apartment in town and an embryo farm on the outskirts. Jack is expected to return shortly. Margaret Ann Knappen Young, '39, and Harrison Jr. are staying with Margaret Ann's parents until Harrison succeeds in Ending them a place to live in New York. Mary Jane Bridges, '39, will be back in Tulsa permanently very soon . . . Indianapolis' loss is our gain. Ann Barnard Whitehill, '39, is in Tulsa, still sitting out the war while Ben is overseas. In other words, 1939 is well represented locally and fairly easy to keep track of for the time being. Other alumnae who are in Tulsa, only to name a few, arc: Jeanne Gaskill Mize, '40, assisting in the H-H kindergarten, Alice Jeanne Jones, '40, at Stanolind, Jocelyn Moser, '38, Marcia Berkey Hall, '41, Helen Savage Robbins, '41, just back from the west coast, Charlotte Herndon Chew, '38, Mary Ann Camp Jones, ex-'42, June Scarborough, '43, now at T.U. after two years at Wellesley, Harriet Smith, '41, Mary Lou Savage, ex-'43, who is news gathering for the Tribune , Helen Campbell, '44, at Stanolind, and Valerie Semple Rupp, '41, AND THERE . . . Holland Ha1l's most recent graduating class sent four rep- resentatives to Pine Manor Junior College in Wellesley, Mass- achusetts, so Joanne Splane, Barbara Fleming, Sally Thomp- son, and Joan Felt are still together and, from all reports, having a marvelous time. Betty Butler is majoring in art at Bennett Junior College in Millbrook, New York. Nancy Michaels is a fre:hman at Wellesley. Helen Westfall, '44, and Nlarian Foster, '44, are at XVard-Belmont for their second year. Helen was recently elected vice-president of the T.C. club. Joan Kennedy, '43, and Eleanor Scott, ex-'42, are the only Holland Hall alumnae holding down the fort at Smith this year. Pauline Flint, '41, is in her second year at Yale Law School after graduating from Smith on the accelerated program. Ann Kennedy, '41, is now connected with the mil- itary intelligence section of the War Department in Wash- ington. As usual, this year Holland Hall has a large rep- resentation in New York: Jean Curd, '39, is visiting Betty Dirickson, '41, at the Croydon. Betty is doing graduate work MISS HOLLAND HALL -- November,1945 Pat Galbreath, '41 - Editor Ii5EEE::: 1- -.- Iv .- in sociology at Columbia this winter. Emily Cordell, '41, is also at Columbia as a graduate student in the journalism school. Margot Lockwood, '41, is in New York with Inter- national Business Machines Cornpany, Beverly Rodolf, '41, is on the staff of Glamour magazine, and Margaret Haralson, '41, is with the media department of an advertising firm. Helen Haddock, '42, is at Wheelock, in Boston, Augusta Burke, '41, is at Wellesley, and Mary McBirney Bryan, ex-'41, is back on the campus at Northwestern University this year while Dick is overseas. AND EVERYWHERE . . . Two Holland Hall graduates who are farther from home than most are, Miriam Lashley, '37, and Mary Connely, '33. Both are overseas with the American Red Cross. When last heard from Miriam was doing recreational work at Hochst, Germany, and Mary was stationed at Wattisham, England, though she expected to be sent to Germany soon. Their work is interesting, varied, and certainly very useful and rewarding. Everyone connected with Holland Hall sends congratulations and best wishes. TWO RECENT WEDDINGS . . . August 4th Marjorie Stalcup, ex-'41, was married to Robert La Scelle at the home of her parents in Tulsa. Marjorie and Bob are now living in Minneapolis, Minnesota. August 7th Mary Barnard, '41, was married to Captain Richard Lawrence at a ceremony in Cascade, Colorado. Mary and Dick are now making their home in Colorado Springs. AND A WEDDING-TO-BE . . . Announcement has been made of the approaching mar- riage of Mary Louise Shade, '38, to Lieut. Charles McNamara of Tulsa. NEW ALUMNAE ASS'N OFFICERS Elizabeth Page, '38, president of the Alumnae Association elected last June, has resigned in order to take a position with the American Red Cross and it was thus necessary to elect new oflicers before the annual spring election. Pat Galbreath, '41, will act as president, Mary Louise Shade will remain as vice- president, and Jeanne Gaskill Mize will remain as secretary in addition to taking over the duties of treasurer. Miss Page left October 3 for St. Louis, where she will join the Welfare Branch of the Red Cross. She will then go to Camp Crowder, Missouri, and will work as field assistant for two weeks. The Welfare Division is a new branch of the Red Cross which was established to handle emergency leaves in separation centers and to help the discharged soldiers. Miss Page does not know where she will be stationed or what her particular assignment will be. Alumnae activity plans for 1945-46 are tentative, but the Christmas tea and the dance and banquet, which are entertain- ments at the end of the school year, will be held as usual. There will also be a rummage sale. The alumnae plan to use the proiits from this to buy a gift for the school. The task of finishing the alumnae directory will be resumed when members are more permanently settled. 25 CALENDAR September 3-4:30--Faculty picnic at the Residence.

VACATION REMINISCENCES By Ann Arnold fGrade 81 Members of the 1950 Class had such a good summer that even after six weeks of study We keep going back to th-ose Hne days. On August 15 at 4:00 p. m., Josephine Davis climbed lustily into a Continental Air Lines plane to fly to Hutchinson, Kansas, to visit her cousin, Mrs. H. W. Davis, Jr. Meg Simp- son went to Wisconsin and had a Wonderful time. She was with her cousin and they went surf-board riding. Great fun ancl lots of lovely scenery, Meg? Pat Davis spent her summer at Mankato, Minnesota, and at Cedar Lake in the same state. Among the presents which her friends bestowed on her was a black and white guinea pig. Pattie Chapman journeyed to Chicago with Mrs. Chapman. They stayed at the Palmer House. See any movie stars, Pattie? Ann Bailliere went to Cleveland to visit her aunt and uncle, the M. V. Baillieres. She reports a wonderful time. Jane Marshall covered a lot of territory-saw Denver and Estes Park and at the other end, Chicago. So Denny is going to Northwestern. Thatis fine. A glorious month was spent by Barbara McGill in Manitou Springs, Colorado. She went on a burro ride up Mt. Manitou. She was quite sore for a few days, but the experience was worth it. Eh, Babs? Joey Canterbury's summer was spent at Home, Sweet Home-and at Southern Hills. Most of her time was spent at her favorite sports of swimming and riding. Ronda Russell stayed in Tulsa and learned to drive that big, beautiful maroon convertible! Ann Arnold went to Camp Waldemar and spent her days swimming and riding, with a little tennis in between. 26 INSURANCE Qafulan 771m 605 McBirney Building Telephone 4-7191 A FOR SEE 14 SETH HUGHES MORGAN JONES SAM S. RUSSELL Hughes Innes gl Russe REALTORS PROPERTY MANAGEMENT REAL ESTATE SALES 408 THOMPSON BUILDING PHONE 4 B165 I ' L November, 1945 - MISS HOLLAND HALL DEAN ANDERSON AT HER DESK AT THE RESIDENCE Holland Hall feels itself fortunate in its new dean, Miss Elizabeth Anderson, of Buffalo, New York. Dean Anderson is not only in charge of the school resi- dence at 1900 East Forty-First Street, but supervises the physical education and health program of all day and boarding students. She received her own early training in the Park School of Buffalo. She attended Pine Manor Junior College, traveled extensively abroad, was graduated from Boston University with majors in education and physical education. She comes to Holland Hall from the Beaver Country Day School near Boston, where for some years she was in charge of a very broad program of health education and directed team and individual sports. On leave of absence from Beaver Country Day School, she spent the school year 1944-45 in graduate study at Harvard. Dean Anderson is not a new-comer to the country west of the Mississippi. She is partial to the western half of the United States. She spends her summers in the far West, being president of the Half Moon Ranch Corporation of Moose, Wyoming. The ranch is located at the door of Teton National Park, is some thirty miles south of Yellowstone Park. Here since 1932 Miss Anderson and Miss Anita Tarbell, owner of the ranch, have pro- vided for city girls a life in the open. Each girl has her own horse for the season. They fish, swim, and hunt game by camera. They ride in Teton Park and motor through Yellowstone. They camp at timber-line for the sake of the skiing. At the Holland Hall residence Dean Anderson has planned a most enjoyable recrea- tion program. Throughout the warm weather the pool has been popular. Riding has now begun in earnest. We have heard that Dean Anderson has been conferring with a boat firm at Branson, Missouri, is it possible that a float down White River will some time in the future be more than a dream? MISS HOLLAND HALL - November-,1945 A MATTER OF POLICY 'A' As each new account comes to us, a highly specialized service is built around it . . . tailor made.

CHRISTMAS DONATION TO OUR HOSPITAL BED By Mary Jane Feemster, Editor Several years ago the students of Holland Hall voted to discontinue the practice of giving Christmas gifts to each other and to the faculty and to use the money previously spent on gifts, most of which were really not needed by the recipient, to support a bed at St. Johnls Hospital. The cost of this bed is two dollars a day, and unfortunately the total of our donations has not been sufficient to meet the cost for a full year. All of us realize the worthiness of such a cause, especially those of us who have talcen the time to visit the hospital and see for ourselves the pleasure and security given to the patients who occupy the room which bears our name. Last year Mrs. H. E. Teale fVirginia Arnoldl dressed two dolls in Holland Hall uniforms. One was dressed as an Upper School and one as a Lower School girl. Chances on these dolls were sold to raise money for the Alumnae Fund. Mrs. Hall Feemster, Jr., won the Upper School doll and sent it over to St. John's Hospital so that it could remain in the room and be enjoyed by any little patient who occupied the room. In the last year there have been about twenty-four children who have been taken care of with full charity. Some of the latest ones are: Dorothy Ann Baker, 1162 South Frisco, who was in the bed from November 11 to November 28. Then on November 29 Joan Richardson, 2323 East Newton, was admitted to the Holland Hall room. MISS HOLLAND HALL urges you to increase, if possible, your donation this year so that we may more nearly, if not completely, realize our goal of full support of this room. if f x sie 'iff ifgrlgljgg I X Tai MUN., -SLA Nix., gf-wrm2!X' 75 ' - 'X' ' ' X Ja, JL 3 xqx'QL'?LI LQ X Ml A L X 7 X Lil?

Elecmvr H.mcCormack ,lff REPERTOIRE 'OF CHRISTMAS SYMBOLS By Ellen McEwen fGrade 123 Through countless ages people have accepted traditions about Christmas without really looking into their authenticity. Others with more of intellectual curiosity have delved into the past and brought to light these valuable bits of informa- tion for posterity. Almost everyone knows that Christmas is celebrated be- cause of Christ's birthday, December 25. As are most other traditions about Christmas, the real date of Christ's birthday is disputed. There were many December celebrations in ancient times. The Scandinavians, Romans, and Egyptians celebrated Christmas long before 1 A. D., but for their own reasons. In Britain resulting from the landing of Augustine and his fellow missionaries in 592 A. D., a festive holiday was held in De- cember. Also in Egypt, Horus, son of Isis, whose birthday fell at the end of December, instituted a celebration of colorful splendor. Then, when Jesus was born, another day of festivity was proclaimed. Along with the indecisiveness of the date of Christ's birth are the problems connected with the Star of Bethlehem, which appeared over the stable to direct the Wise Men, who among many others came to see the baby. There are four theories about this phenomenon. One is the supernatural, by which people believe that the Creator kindled a light in heaven, which would never be seen again. Then there are the rationalist and historical views. Astronomers believe that a great meteor ap- peared and fell over Bethlehem, not lasting very long, but making a great impact with the earth. Then a comet is brought into the picture. The Chinese recorded a comet in 1 B. C. in February or April. It is also said that every eight hundred years there is a conjunction of two planets, one of which ap- peared in the early morning of Christmas. All of these theories are offered without conclusive evidence. With Christmas we always associate Santa Claus or St. Nicholas, whose position is very high at the Christmas cele- bration. This exaggerated character is accepted among the Americans as a jolly, fat, bearer of joy and gifts, who drives seven spirited reindeer through the sky. But the real St. Nicholas had no reindeer that he drove through the starry heavens, and furthermore he was very slender, shy, and re- ligious. He was born in Asia Minor in the district of Lycia. Even while a young boy he was deeply religious and having inherited wealth he frequently gave away money for charity. Because of his benevolent character he was pro- claimed a saint and in his honor St. Nicholas Day is celebrated in December. From him we learn the true spirit of Christmas, which comes from the heart and finds joy in giving what will bring a brighter atmosphere to others. A custom very amusing to little tots and to some older folk is that of hanging stockings. The custom of hanging stockings by the fireplace for Santa to fill on Christmas Eve began a long time ago when the fairy Befuna was supposed to fill them with gifts, while the naughty children received only ashes. Along with the celebration of Christmas in ancient days goes the beginning of the Christmas tree. The Romans used trees in the home and also Roman priests used trees in their pageants. The custom started with the idea of bringing nature into the home, but as the different celebrations came around, they decorated trees. In our American Christmas with its greenery, its Santa Claus, its hanging of stockings, are fitted together the fashions of all the lands to make a message, one of giving and joy, which remains the same in all ages all over the world. 8 A CHRISTMAS OF PEACE By Mary Ellen Waters fGrade 121 Every year about this time we all start those mysterious shopping trips and Fill our most secret hiding places full of wonderful gifts. Yes, it is nearing Christmas, and the whole world is preparing to celebrate. This is an occasion that calls for much happiness and cheer. I don't want to sound morbid or dull, but before we get too cheerful letis stop and think for just a minute. We have just finished fighting a long, hard war. We are now preparing to celebrate our first Christmas of true peace after four long years. Many of our boys will be coming home to their own iiresides to have an old-fashioned Christmas. There is still another group of America's young men. These are the ones that won't be coming home this Christmas or the next. These are the boys that will never come home. These are the boys that fought and died that we might have this and many more Christmases in peace. That is why I say before we are happy and gay or even while we are, let us think of them. As we give our thanks, let us be humble in our gratitude. Let us show that we truly appreciate all they have done for us, that they have not died in vain. RANDOM THOUGHTS By Frances McMillin CGrade 105 The blackness of the night is still. I can only hear the distant sounds of wild animals, and at intervals, the screeching of a bird or two. The weeds are high around me. The pool of water near by is silent. The lacy trees hang low on the ground. I cannot help thinking these jungles know many strange talesg perhaps they have kept them hidden for cen- turies past. And now they have another, perhaps sadder and more dramatic than the rest. For now the guns have stopped, now the leaves have blown from trees to a ground free from tramping footsteps. No longer will these leaves be buried like men never to be remembered. The swamps are still, with motionless peace. I hear the sound of motors in the sky, but I do not move. I wonder how all the world can keep on living when I am here in this world of my own. The moon is drifting now. Soon it will drop into the sea. The stars will fade, but I will not feel lost. Soon the rains will come, but I do not mind. Perhaps I shall roam through the woods for years, but I cannot complain. This is a world of peace, a world of my own. I do not care, you see, because I am dead. NO SANTA? By Rosie Brown CGrade 123 Who says there is no Santa Claus? I'1l take on single handed any wise guy whose mentality is sub-normal enough to say we have no Santa. Where would this battle-scarred world be without a cherry-nosed, white haired, bewhiskered, five by five imp whose spirit of kindness and good will is struggling to overthrow evil throughout the earth? The spirit of Santa Claus is in many ways the spirit of godliness. Count the ways in which God and Santa work together. To the children all over the world Santa Claus means a new doll, a toy train, a stocking filled with nuts and candy, and the time of year when streams, lakes, and rivers are covered with a blanket of ice and snuggle up for a long nap. Yes, you must admit that to the children Santa Claus means that a good time is in store for all. . This is all very well, but those of us who are older are sup- posed to know also the deeper meaning of Santa Claus. I think Santa is God's right hand man. What do you think? December, 1945 - MISS HOLLAND HALL Oxsxmwsxmm 111111115 fan 771 fffo xxmxmxmka Feature Stories A CHRISTMAS SONG By Frances McMillin fGrade 10? It was quiet now. A11 of Rome was silent. Only the sounds of icicles falling from roofs and the occasional foot-steps of a belated citizen could be heard. The wind blew the snow' in all directions, then the snow drifted to some far-off ground. Along a narrow street of Rome moved uncertainly a solitary figure in the uniform of the American army. Above him was only the icy sky. Around him was only the freezing snow. He was looking, almost staring at a faint light screened by falling snow. The soldier merely watched and listened and felt a lonely desire for home. Tomorrow will be Christmas, he thought, and yet I shall not hear the bells of home chiming, nor shall I see the presents around the tree. I shall not pat Mike on the back, good old Mike, and hand him his Christmas bone. There have been Christmases like this one will be before. I knew on those other Christmases that I must stay here. Everyone else was here. I did not mind it. But now, now they have gone home and I am here, I know that some must stay, but why I? Then he shook the thoughts away seemingly and began walking, as if drawn unconsciously, toward the distant light. As if realizing the chilly air for the first time, he quickened his pace. Suddenly he found himself on the steps of a church and the light was miraculously gone. He heard the heavy door close behind him. The interior of the church was beautiful in its simplicity and a feeling of friendliness and warmth seemed to mingle in the air. He had meant the church to be only a refuge frotm the cold icy snow, but almost instantly a feeling of protection from greater things grasped him. Sud- denly he heard soft distant voices all harmoniously singing a Christmas song. He looked all around him, but no one was to be seen, only the presence of unknown persons was felt. He thought perhaps some children were singing carols on the streets-but no, it was much too late for that. And suddenly he knew that those distant notes were the voices of those who-m he loved. They could not be heard by anyone but himself, and yet they grew louder constantly. They seemed almost to smother him in music. And then the carols turned to songs of a distant land, of lacy trees hung over shadowed lakes, of roseate sunrises and sunsets of gold, of sleighbells and sparkling Sh0W. The songs were no longer carols, but were songs of home. And suddenly the soldier and home were no longer oceans, a year, a life-time apart. Home was there in the church, and the G. I., no longer a stranger in a strange land, knelt down in thanks. WINTER'S COAT By Suzanne Lindsay fGrade 67 It's snowing fast throughout the town, Flakes of snow glide gently down, The ground reflects a glittering white, It sparkles like diamonds in the night. MISS HOLLAND HALL - December-,1945 CHRISTMAS EVE IN HARTSBURG By Betty White fGrade 125 Christmas Eve in Hartsburg, a small town with a population of four thousand, is something that cannot be forgotten by its citizens, especially one, Joe Blake. Joe arose early this morning as it was the day before Christ- mas and he had much to do. He had promised Emily, his devoted aunt, heyd shovel the snow off the driveway, Pete, his younger brother, he'd take him sleigh riding, and he wanted to see Sally before she went to Lucille Thompson's annual Christmas luncheon. Sally was 1oe's girl. They'd known each other since childhood and were always best pals as well as sweethearts. Sally was eighteen. Her blue eyes went perfectly with her long blonde hair, which fell gracefully over her well- shaped shoulders. He jumped out of bed, threw on his overalls, and hurried down to breakfast. Emily was in the kitchen busily preparing for the Christmas feast, which was always held on Christmas Eve. He went into the kitchen and was greeted, as he was every morning, by a kiss from Aunt Emily. He peered into the ice-box, found his chilled orange juice and drank it down, and ate two fried eggs. He was out shoveling before you could say, Jack Robinson. The air was cold and crisp. Joe stopped every few minutes to fill his lungs full of it. The snow came down in white Hakes leaving a white blanket. It was useless to try to shovel it away, but Aunt Emily had been promised snow or no snow. He hurriedly finished and called to Pete. Pete and Joe drove out into the country. The trees were all white and the ground in its white blanket was beautiful. They sang Christmas carols and told jokes. Laughing and singing they had a wonderful time. It was past eleven-thirty and Joe realized how short a time he had to see Sally before the luncheon. He let Pete out and rode to Sally,s. She met him at the door. She looked more beautiful than ever today, thought joe. She wore a pale blue dress, which matched her eyes perfectly, and her blonde hair seemed to have a light ray of gold around it. Joe had come over to see her and tell her what time he'd call for her in the evening. At eight-thirty he was there right on time. He watched her walk down the stairs. She was not only beautiful, but graceful. She smelled of the gardenias he'd sent her. Joe helped her with her wrap and they were off. The country club was beautiful. There was a lighted Christmas tree in the center of the floor. The couples were dancing and all was wonderful. Joe took Sally into his arms. They danced around the floor. Sally was indeed a wonderful dancer, thought Joe. He also loved Sally, but had never realized it so much as tonight. Suddenly without warning the dance was over. The evening had passed so quickly. It was Christmas. The chimes in the church were ringing and Joe was kissing Sally. Hey, soldier! This ain't no time to sleep. It's your time on guard. , Joe awoke, all the beauty of Christmas was gone. 9 ff if if if KNOW YOUR AN EARLY AMERICAN VISITOR TO TULSA By Martha Hoke fGrade 95 More and more visitors from New England and Europe have sought out this section of the United States and Oklahoma in particular. Among the more well known people are Dr. Will Mayo, Amelia Earhart, Lord and Lady Halifax. How- ever, none is more noted than that famous early visitor of a hundred and thirteen years ago, Washington Irving. I am sure that almost everyone is familiar with his 1'Legend of Sleepy Hollow and his Rip Van Winkle,,' and numerous other sketches. Washington Irving was born in New York City in 1783. He suffered from very poor health most of his life and for this reason he spent many years abroad touring Holland, England, France, and Italy. In 1832 Irving returned to the United States and on his way home he met Charles joseph Latrobe, who was to chaperone a young Count Pourtalis in the United States for a year. Then while traveling in New York State, Irving met Henry Ellsworth, the newly appointed Indian commissioner to the Indian Territory, which is now Oklahoma. Ellsworth invited Irving, Latrobe, and Pourtalis to accompany him. The purpose of the trip was to determine whether or not Indian Territory would make a suitable home for bands of eastern Indians and Mr. Ellsworth's invitation was readily accepted. The account of that journey into the wilderness is described in Irving's Tour of the Prairies and also in a book recently off the press, NThe Western Journeys of Wfashington Irving, by John Francis McDermott. This book is divided into two parts. The first half gives a detailed but easily readable story of the trip, while the last half comprises Irving's notes. According to the narrative, the four travelers boarded an Ohio River boat bound for Louisville, Kentucky, and from there continued by water to St. Louis. From this point each traveled by his own means to Independence, Missouri, the ren- dezvous. Once there, they made further preparation for the journey. Irving, the Count, and Latrobe bought riding horses and a wagon and team to carry their luggage. Then they set out for Fort Gibson, three hundred miles distant. They would generally travel from fifteen to twenty miles each morning and ten or fifteen miles in the afternoon. When camp was pitched, the site was usually near some woods and a stream. Traveling at this rate, says Irving in his journals, they took ten or eleven days to reach Fort Gibson. At this point more preparations were made for the remainder of the journey. And, I might add, during this exploration, Irving became quite an accom- plished horse trader. Irving's journals show that he must have noticed the country through which he was passing, for he often mentions lovely colors or types of foliage. He also mentions the pleasure of a bee hunt. Besides this, Irving took active part in bufalo hunts, although his health was still very poor. Many curious Indian traits are mentioned by Irving. For instance, the horse of an Indian who had died was always killed and buried with its owner. Also the Indians were very superstitious. If an owl was heard several nights in succession, the Indians believed that a death was certain. Many other in- teresting observations were made by Irving in his journals. These journals, by the iway, were made up' chiefly of notes, many of which were not even complete sentences. 10 SOUTHWEST if if if if If you wish to visit the monument dedicated to Washington Irving, you will find it on West Easton Street, Tulsa, at the crest of the hill in Irving Place. And inscribed on three sides of it you will find these words of Irving, If you keep along yonder by the edge of the prairie, you will come to a bald hill with a pile of stones upon it, Well, those stones were set up by the Osages as a landmark. From that spot you may have a View of the Red Fork. As the night advanced, we per- ceived above the trees to the west, a ruddy glow fiushing up the sky. tIt is at the Red Fork, fCimarron Riverlf said Beatti, regarding the sky. 'It seems but three miles distant, yet it is perhaps twentyfu Irving concludes with these meaningful words, It seems to me as if these beautiful regions answer literally to the descrip- tion of the land of promise, a land flowing with milk and honeyf, FIELDS AND STREAMS OF THE SOUTHWEST An outing as narrated to Mary Louise Hall, reporter KGrade 11, Nature lovers sojourning in Tulsa have many weeks of fine fall weather in which to respond to the call of the wild. Mrs. B. J. Jarrett, Holland Hall librarian, with Mr. Jar- rett and Dean Elizabeth Anderson had a thrilling week-end October 13 and 14. They left Tulsa Saturday morning at 10:00 in Miss Anderson's car, and headed southeast for Arkansas. just after passing through Siloam Springs, Arkan- sas, Miss Anderson saw her first cotton and got out to pick some bolls. When they got to Springdale, they turned north for Missouri. In a field outside of Cassville, Missouri, they saw men preparing sorghum. Miss Anderson said that it was thrilling to watch them. First they cut the cane in the field, then put it through a pressing machine to squeeze all the liquid out of the stalks. Built into the hill was a furnace that was used for boiling the liquid. On top of the furnace was a shallow tray into which they poured the liquid. It made its way down through crevices boiling madly. At the other end was a colored man who had control of a lever which allowed the boiling liquid to seep through a little at a time into the bucket. As soon as the gallon bucket was full, the liquid, now sorghum, was made ready for market. Driving on, Miss Anderson saw her first possums, which were just as plentiful as skunks are in the North. By 4:00 p. m. they reached the Roaring River Hotel, which looks like a big log cabin. The first floor consists of one big room with a fireplace at each end. The furniture, made of cedar, is in keeping. That evening Miss Anderson went fishing for an hour and her big, catch was a four inch trout, so her fishing venture wasn't very successful. The river is right in front of the hotel and there is a big screened-in porch hanging out over it. Sitting out on the porch, said Mrs. Jarrett, I saw so many fish playing in the stream and the water was so clear that I wanted to jump in and play with them. Miss Anderson agreed that it was the prettiest trout stream that she had ever seen. When they awoke the next morning, the trees were bright with beautiful colors and seemed to have changed over-night. Miss Anderson saw walnuts growing for the first time and brought nuts back with her. It was an enjoyable trip for ali and most exciting for Miss Anderson. December, 1945 - MISS HOLLAND HALL OSAGE TRADITIONS By Joan Story fGrade 113 Holland Hall affords out-of-state students an unusual op- portunity to learn something of Indians first hand. I had often heard of Indian dances and had seen them pictured, but I never saw the real thing till this fall, when resident students visited Pawhuska. The occasion was a dance with feasting held by the Osage Indians the week-end of October 7 and celebrating the victory of Osage Indians over the Germans and Japanese in World War II. The dances were both interesting and colorful. The celebration was held in the Indian village in a building open on all sides. Spectators sat on bleachers on three of the sides. This year is the first year the Indians have allowed pictures to be taken, so through- out the dances camera men ran around snapping pictures. The chief of the Osages, Chief Lookout, was not present. He is a very old man and cannot stand the strain. The dances were led by a man who sat on one of the side benches. He directed and had the say as to just who could dance and who couldn't. In the far center was a circle of wooden benches, where the men sat who played the drums and chanted. When a signal was given from the Indian on the side, the drums started very softly and gradually became louder. The dancers began to dance into the circle slowly, a few at a time, until all were dancing. The male dancers on the whole were dressed much more brightly than were the women dancers. Their cos- tumes consisted of extremely bright colored clothing decorated with beads, bells, and feathers. The women were dressed in bright colored blankets and a few had on moccasins. The dances lasted several days. After all was over, the dancers put away their dancing clothes until the next celebration. While we were at Pawhuska, we took occasion to visit the Pawhuska museum. It is housed in a small stone building, which from the outside resembles a church. Still, however small and insignificant it may seem from outside, this small building has a remarkable collection of Indian pictures and relics. Miss Lillian Matthews has lived among the Osage Indians all her life. She had many interesting things to relate to us. In a case in the far corner is a small pen. It was used to sign the document that moved the Osages from Kansas to Oklahoma. We were shown some medals that had been given to the Indians for outstanding deeds by the different presidents of the United States. One of the medals shown to us had be- longed to Miss Mathews' father. Mr. Mathews had traded a horse for this medal. Another was taken from an Indian grave, as were many of the other relics in the museum. The Osage tribe buried their dead in a sitting position with all their val- uables. The horse of the dead Indian was tied beside the grave and after a few days it was killed so the Indian could ride it to the Happy Hunting Grounds. On the walls were pictures of different Indians both living and dead. The most outstanding of these was a large picture of the present chief, Chief Lookout, painted by Stanislov Re- noski. The picture shows Chief Lookout walking away from an octagonal shaped building, a tribal meeting house. The landscaping and the colors are unusually fine. But the ex- pression on the chief's face is most striking, it catches and holds oneis eye. It seems that an inner light is coming out. The expression on the face is of kindness and peace. On the wall just opposite is a portrait of Chief Lookout's son painted by Dwight Sheppler. MISS HOLLAND HALL - December,1945 INDIAN MOTIFS AT PHILBROOK By Rosie Brown fGrade 123 One day this fall, Miss Beattie's class in applied art in- stead of meeting in the art work-shop as usual, made a brief but interesting visit to Philbrook. Nancy Jo Canary, Ellen McEwen, Joan Story, Rosie Brown, and Miss Beattie made the trip. The object of the tour through the museum was to find some outstanding idea for the re-decoration of Miss McCor- mackis office. Miss McCormack wishes her oflice to follow the southwestern motif of Indians and prairies. Hence most of our time was spent in the Indian room, which is filled with inter- esting water-colors of Indians painted by the Indians them- selves. One picture which impressed the entire class is en- titled, Spirit of the Indians. The figure of an Indian with arms outstreached appears against a backbround of mountain and swirling light. Our time was limited, so after a much too short thirty minutes, we climbed back into Miss Beattie's car and back to school, all prepared to give Miss McCormack's office the works. THE LITTLE STRANGER By Milly Wilson fGrade 95 No one knew where he came from or to whom he belonged or why he would ever want to fly into a fourth story windowg but nevertheless one windy March morning two years ago a little canary flew through the open window into my father's office. Daddy called him Leo because he was supposed to be as brave as a lion and because Daddy had a friend, Colonel Leo Towers. Leo was a great singer and that fact caused a very im- portant change in his life, because at the office his singing in- terfered with everything from conferences on down. So he was sent to live at our house. Of course this didn't change his singing. He sang when we played the piano, and when we ran the water, he sang when he saw other birds out of the window, and he sang regularly every morning at seven olclock. This didn't bother anyone, however, for he had a beautiful voice, all full of trills and fluttery notes. Every morning Leo took a bath, which he enjoyed immense- ly. If the bath was forgotten, he would chirp in a very worried tone, as if to remind us. I loved to watch him take a bath, he had such a good time and splashed water so far. But the thing Leo loved most was to get out of his cage and fly around the house. Several times he flew upstairs, but more often he stayed in the living room or sun-room and ate the plants. He would sit on the clock on our mantel for hours and look at himself in the mirror and chirp to the reflection. Once we found him taking his bath in the aquarium. Luckily, it was full of sea-weed so he couldn't sink, but it worried us anyway. About two weeks ago when Mama was giving him his bath, Leo got out of the cage. Mama thought it would be all right, but she didn't know that behind the flower pot was a mouse- trap all set with a piece of cheese. I'm sure Leo didn't know about the mouse-trap for he flew right to it and started to eat the cheese. The trap snapped shut and poor Leo was killed immediately. Daddy talked about getting a new canary and so did Mama, but I know we wonit because we never could love one as much as Leo, and I donit want one if we don't. 11 , , f A-of i Konstantine Simonov, author of Days and Nights, is one of the outstanding young writers of Russia. He is a successful playwright, poet, short story writer, novelist, and war corres- pondent. -His play called Russian Peoplei' won the Stalin prize in 1942. His works are now read the length and breadth of the Soviet Union in twenty-one different languages. Simonov was born in Leningrad in 1915. At the age of fifteen he was working in a factory as a turner and he ref mained with this work until he was around twenty years old. While still there, he began writing poetry and his poems soon decorated the walls of the factory. He became a professional writer in 1936. He began his career as a war correspondent in 1939. In 1941 he began to cover the Russian battle-front and from his experiences at Stalingrad he got the background for his recent best seller, Days and Nights, 'KDays and Nights is a simple story of simple Russian people, who are fighting to retake Stalingrad from the Ger- mans. The story covers a period of seventy days and nights, in which a Red Army officer leads his battalion in the Battle of Stalingrad, one of the most famous battles in history. With the powerful Captain Saburov and his Second Battalion we arrive at Stalingrad after having crossed the Volga under fire. Having fought our way into an open square, we move on into an inner court yard, which is being held by a few German soldiers. We feel the reality of war as we live the part of the soldiers in the struggle to seize and hold three apartment buildings. We see the indomitable courage of Saburov as he leads inexperienced men in the headlong attack and as he defends the buildings against frequent counter- attacks. These buildings become the scenes of long and hard battles, of important official meetings, and of many tragedies. As the battling to hold these few buildings continues, the reader sees Captain Saburov discover and kill a cowardly traitor, who has been giving valuable information to the Ger- mans. The reader is keyed tense with emotion as he watches the exciting hand-to-hand combat, the life and death struggle between Saburov and the traitor. The final drive to hold Stalingrad and to retake some of the ground which the Germans have again captured, affords, perhaps, the greatest suspense, the greatest intensity of feeling in the book. Captain Saburov shows his skill as a leader in the stress of the final days. Here as all along, the reader 12 learns how furiously the soldiers of Russia fight with and with- out the equipment needed for the final battle to hold Stal- ingrad. Love also has its part in this book of war. The reader can little realize that Captain Saburov would have time for love along with the many other problems that confront him. Still one is filled with tenderness as the pages tell the story of a young Red Army nurseis love for Saburov. The reader sees the girl, Anya, first, when with the Second Battalion he crosses the Volga to enter Stalingrad. The nurse has just delivered a number of battle wounded to the hospital and is returning on the same barge with the battalion. She is but a girl of eighteen, whose gentleness makes her a girl to admire. She tells Saburov that she is often scared when her duties take her to the battle front: the thought often enters her mind that she will die and she will not have done the things she dreamed about. She will never get to see the things she has wanted to see. Most appalling of all, she will never have been loved. We see her again soon after Saburov has established head- quarters in Stalingrad. She is brought in by Saburov's chief of staff, who tells Saburov of her great help in bringing the wounded to safety. Here Anya and Saburov become ac- quainted in a more formal manner than before. Soon after, she is brought into the guard house wounded. Saburov realizes for the Hrst time that he loves Anya. As the days pass, their love grows and they decide to marry. The marriage takes place after Saburov, who has himself been wounded and moved to a hospital across the Volga, is well enough to be moved to the near-by dwelling of Anyays mother and aunt. They plan to live at headquarters, but this is not to be. The story closes with the girl, Anya, desperately wounded and transported across the Volga to a hospital in the rear. The reader may finish the story happily in his own way. With rapidity the reader scans the last pages of the book, the scene in which Saburov receives a telephone call from the commander of the rifle division. That call awakens him to the fact that relief troops of Russian artillery are at that moment approaching to save the gallant remnant which has defended Stalingrad for seventy days and nights. The author here portrays the triumph that is in the heart of every soldier that fought that fight and survived. December,1945 -- MISS HOLLAND HALL f THE GIRL HE LEFT BEHIND By Bee Riley fGrade 121 You're looking at the world through colored glasses. You don't know anything exists except Tom and yourself. Every- thing is normal, as it should be. You're planning to be married some day and live a life full of happiness. You dream about the future. You build castles and pray God that your dreams come true. This is the best you could expect from life, just to have the chance at normal living, just to have your dreams come true. Then what happens? A war comes along, a war that you didn't start and you didn't want. But just the same your Tom has to go. He has to go and fight-maybe even die-die, when his life has only begun, when he has only started to live and be aware of the beautiful things life has to offer. Youire all excited and scared. Then it hits you! They won't take him in the service, you reason: he's a physical wreck. So you let your tension ease up. He leaves to take his physical examination. You say good- bye and wish him the best of luck, feeling quite sure of your own conclusions and still feeling sorry for him. A long dis- tance telephone call comes in. What? That's right: Tom's passed his physical and he's in the navy. Tom with a broken pelvis bone, one lung collapsed, and hay fever. Nothing more than a 4-F, but he passed. Yes, he's in the navy nowg he's under navy orders. He can't live a free life any more or do what he wants to do. From now on he does what the navy wants him to do. I collect my wits and feel all my confidence drop through distance as I say, When do you leave? He answers me in a collected voice saying that he'll be home to wait for his call. You're in a daze now. You can't quite picture living an ' 1 indefinite amount of your life without Tom, maybe all the rest of your life without him. Then you glance upon a consoling part of it all: the sooner he gets into this war, the sooner he'll be back home-to you. You and Tom are young, supposedly carefree and happy-or you were until now. Heys too young to get a full conception of what it's all about, but he will all too soon. He hasn't even passed the stage of comic books or the thrill of being on the foot- ball team, but he has to go anyway. Every second counts now. So little time now and yet so many things to say and do together and you have to get them all said and done now because you may never have another chance. You have a full- length life to live to the count of the clock on the wall. And the others wonder why you must see Tom so much, why Tom comes before everything else now. Even your parents wonder. They wonder why you can't get in from your dates on the dot, why you can't talk about anything else sensibly but Tom. This is why you can't: because this may be the last time you'll have together and you both realize it, but you don't say anything about it. Then they say: He'll come back. Don't be so pessimistic. Yes, I know he may come back. He's got to, but when he does, he won't be young any more and neither shall I. Our whole youth has got to be lived in a few short days instead of years. He may even return a psycho-neurotic. I-le'll never be the same after all this. How can he be? Tom is paying for something that he had nothing to do with. And you can't pay for it with money or sacrifice alone. No, you have to pay for it with lives - lives and blood. If he loses his life, that will be two lives lost because your soul is with him in everything he does. He's your other half. What good are you if your other half is dead? The minutes you'll miss together when he's gone can,t ever be brought back again. So that's why Tom comes first now. A MODERN CHRISTMAS By Cornelia Hall fGrade 71 'Twas the night before Christmas When all through the garage Things were happening As in a mirage. The tires were slung On the wall with-out care, In hopes that St. Nicholas Would Fill them with air. Santa drove up And crawled out of his car, He opened the door With a bang and a jarg He pulled out his pump And he went right to work, Then opened the door And turned with a jerk. The next morning the maestro Was most shocked to spy His Chevy transformed By a plastic Magi. OVERCOMING TEMPTATION By Martha Canterbury fC-irade 61 Oh dear, what could it be Hanging there upon the tree? Maybe it's a box of candy, That would suit my taste just dandy. Or, perhaps it's a mystery book- Should I dare one chance to look? CHRISTMAS BELLS By the Fifth Grade Christmas bells, Christmas bells, Ring with joy and praise. Thrilled are we to hear the sound Of children on their sleighsg Santa Claus, Santa Claus, Comes on Christmas Eve, So cheery, gay, and full of fun, We hate to have him leave! A VISIT FROM DUZ By Jeannie Warren fGrade 71 'Twas the night before Christmas! The laundress sighed in distress, Not a cleaning rag to be found, Shirts, blouses, nor dress! The nylons were soaked In the sink with care, In hope that DUZ Would do its share. The children were nestled All snug in their beds, While boxes of DUZ Danced round in their heads. Sure enough the next morn They were amazed to see That DUZ does everything! Do you believe me? MISS HOLLAND HALL - December, 1945 CHRISTMAS By Gayle Goodnough KGrade 41 Christmas wreaths, Christmas trees, Christmas carols on the breeze, Beautiful snowiiakes in the air Covering the trees that would be bare A tree full of beautiful ornaments And a little square church, Full of ladies and gents. Life has loveliness to sell: That saying came my wayg If life has loveliness to sell, Iid like to buy an A. S A Latin Student. MOUSE INCLUDED By Priscilla Carter fGrade 71 ,Twas the night before Christmas, When all through the house Not a creature was stirring But me, ffm a mouse1. I snooped in the parlour And snooped in the hall, But nothing for me Could I spy at all. Bless be! A small bundle Lurked outside my door, Merry Christmasf' it said, And many more!,' 13 c f 6 I LEARN ABOUT SANTA By janey Porter fGrade 125 When I was a young child and Christmas was very near, I used to lie awake at night thinking of Santa Claus dressed in his bright red suit with a cap to match, his long white whiskers matching his snow white hair, and his big rosy cheeks bursting into laughter. Before going to sleep, I would say my prayers and pray that he wouldn't forget to pay me a visit on Christmas Eve. He was my ideal, for he was kind to all nice people, but I often wondered how he could pay everyone a visit when he couldn't travel so fast with his big pot belly. I never dreamed that I was idolizing someone who didnit exist, and even though I didn't ever see Santa climbing down the chimney, it never entered my head to ask: Is there really a Santa Claus? Christmas Eve finally arrived and while my mother was tucking me in bed, she told me to be sure to go to sleep or Santa would pass by our house without even stopping. In spite of my excitement, I was determined to go to sleep, but before long I was interrupted by my big brother, who marched into the room acting as big as you please. 'lI'm smarter than you are,H he said, because I know that thereis not a Santa Clausf, It couldn,t be true, and I just wouldn't let myself be- lieve what I had heard. After he left the room, the thought kept running over and over in my mind. There must be a Santa Claus, and I was determined to prove that my brother was wrong. I tiptoed to the living room in hopes of greeting Santa in person, but to my disappointment my parents were putting the presents under the tree and filling my stocking, which was hanging from the fireplace mantel. It was like being hit over the head with a hammer. Words couldnit express how I felt, and the only thing to do was to cry. This I did, not minding at all that I was disturbing the peace of the whole neighborhood. It was quite a shock finding that Santa Claus wasnit the person I had believed him to be, but he exists for me today, although in another form. ATOMIC ENERGY UNLEASHED By Julia Ann Park fGrade 93 A dream can be a most terrifying thing. A dream was to me the most horrible experience of my life to date. It was one of those autumn nights when the moon is hidden behind the clouds that I awoke to find myself enveloped in suffocating smoke. I leaped from my bed and ran screaming through the house, Hwake up! Wake up, everyone! There's an electrical fire in the kitchen! I donit know what prompted me to say this, as I hadnit been in the kitchen and I had not the slightest idea what an electric fire is, I groped my way into the kitchen. As I got there, I fell to my knees in horror to find a hole in the roof. It was not the hole that had terrified me so, but what I saw through it. The night had been dark, but now the whole sky was illum- inated by a huge cross of fire, which was showering the world with balls of fire. I could draw only one conclusion: the world .vas coming to an end. By this time the rest of the family were beside me shivering at the same thought of destruction. Another glance through the gaping hole showed flames springing up all about us and all the heavenly bodies now glowing balls of fire, To be saved from such destruction seemed impossible. But the loving hand of a mother coming to see if my covers were on straight saved me from the jaws of death. 14 4-4V I CATCH MY FIRST FISH By Rosemary Traugh KGrade 101 My first experience in going fishing was at the age of nine. My father and I were on our way at live oiclock and reached our destination late the same morning. For the first hour I hadn't caught any fish, so I was slowly, but surely becoming very much discouraged. It was rather a cool day, so I was sent to the car to get a red sweater I had brought me. Just as I returned and had thrown my line in, I was surprised to have a bite and I reeled in a large and beautiful fish. At least it seemed large to me. After that, just as soon as I would take a Hsh off my hook, I would catch another, until finally there were twenty-three in my basket. Having had a very hard day, we started home and had a family dinner of the fish I had caught. Since then, every member of my family is seen fishing with a red sweater on. THE EARTHQUAKE OF 1939 By Caroline Clarke fGrade 9? I was spending the school year with my Aunt Caroline in Santa Barbara, California, at the time of the first bad earth- quake in twenty-five years. We had been having little tremors for two or three weeks, but nobody paid any attention to them. The earthquake came in the middle of a chilly November night and caught us un- prepared. I woke and sat upright in bed having felt my bed shake violently. I heard the beams of the house creak and the earthquake rumbled by like the sound of a train. In the house next door the boiler blew up and a lady, still in her bare feet, ran screaming out of the house. I jumped out of my bed and met the lamp on its way to the floor bringing a vase of flowers with it. The second shock found me crawling into my aunt's room. The two vases on the table fell in opposite directions, though only one broke. We got dressed and the man in the next apartment drove us down to see what damage had been done to my auntis shoe store. The third shock came while we were in the car, but the car only swerved a little. The earthquake followed the same path it had taken twenty-five years before right down Main Street. Kress,s was a shambles and little boys appeared next day selling things they had taken from broken windows. Liquor and wine stores suffered the most. At my aunt's shop all the shoes from the top shelf had fallen out, but the rest stayed in their places. We sent a telegram to Daddy, Not much damage done. Everyone all right. Daddy concluded that there had been a car wreck until he read in the papers about the earthquake. I shall never forget this experience. It was exciting and after it was over, I thought it was fun. THE CHRISTMAS ANGEL By Judy Holleman CGrade 73 fAsked to write an article using synonyms for wget, the author produced this story.l Only two more days to wait until Christmas. The presents are scattered under the tree, the colored lights shining. But wait, something is missing-not the lights or trinkets-it's the ANGEL! The angel that brightens the top of the tree from which we derive so much pleasure. I am sure she is on the shelf. Go and take her down, shouted Wibby to jim. i'She isn't there, I tried to secure herf' explained Mother. December, 1945 - MISS HOLLAND HALL I Well, since I've learned she isnit here, Judy, you run down to the store and try to obtain one,', ordered Father. Goodbye,', called Judy from the door. 'lWe've lost our angel that decorates our tree and I won- dered if you could sell me onef, No, it's impossible to acquire one. I'm sorry, said the storekeeper. 'QThank you. Iill try another store. I must procure one, how or where I canit determine yetf, The next store must have one or the Christmas tree will have to go without it and that would be disastrous. Do you have an angel?,' 'iSure, we just got a shipment, replied the clerk. Oh, but I mean a big onef, I'Sorry, it's impossible to ascertain where I can secure them this yearfi Well, I might as well return homef' The family were sitting around waiting patiently. Did you obtain it, Judy, did you?,' No, I guess the top of the tree will be bare this yearf, Br-r-r-r-r-! The alarm spared me from further agony. I slipped on my jacket and scrambled down stairs. There on the top of the tree was perched our angel. Her face fit seemed to mel was lit up with a smile as if laughing at me and my dream. KIDNAPPED By Diana Kirk fGrade 95 When I was extremely petite, my family lived back to back with the Gary Vandevers. The Vandevers had a large dog, a collie, I believe, and if it hadnit been for the dog, I certainly wouldnit be able to tell this story. One fine morning I was basking in the sun in the back yard when the Vandevers' dog hopped over the fence and ran over to me. Every baby is fascinated by udoggiesn and I was no exception. I gooed and gushed and good doggied him. I guess I made some noise in dog language because in a moment the dog picked me up in his mouth and hopped back over the fence while I uttered the most awful screams. Mrs. Vandever rushed out of her house and Mother, after dropping her dishes all over the kitchen floor, ran out to survey the damage. She rushed to look over the fence where I lay uninjured, but scream- ing at the top of my lungs. For the next few weeks I was watched continuously. As for the dog, he got a present, a present of a brand new leash. MY FIRST AIRPLANE RIDE By Carol Bryan CGrade 93 I was only eight years old, but I was supposed to be nine before I could ride in an airplane, at least that's what the air- port rules said. I was leaving at 12:30 Saturday afternoon for Fort Worth, Texas, on an American Airlines' plane. I felt very big because my mother had given me a pretty corsage of pink roses and white daisies. Reaching the airport at 12:20, noon, I got on the plane, carrying with me my favorite doll. Because it was Easter, I had her all dressed up too. She also had a daisy. We got started and I waved goodbye to my parents, who seemed to be very proud of me and the doll too. Then we were off! The plane landed first at the field in Oklahoma City. There were lots of people watching and waiting for friends, but no one got off our plane. Then the plane headed for Dallas, Texas. MISS HOLLAND HALL - December-,1945 , Unfortunately I fell asleep and I can't tell you what happened between Oklahoma City and Dallas. On our arrival in Dallas, my picture was taken with my doll. I felt very big because the reporter said that the picture would be put in the Dallas paper the following day. Leaving Dallas we jumped to Fort Worth and there my uncle met me and got me safely off the plane. Arriving in Abilene, Texas, where my gandparents live, I told them about my picture, which was to appear in the Dallas paper the next day, but to my disappointment they didn't take the paper, so I never got to see it. Altogether, my trip was enjoyable, that is, what I saw of it when I wasn't asleep. AUTOBIOGRAPHY By Sally Zink CGrade 55 I was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on February 23, 1935. Mother and Daddy thought I was a pretty baby. When I was eight months old, I had the whooping cough. The doctorsaid that had it not been for Mother's good care, I would have died. Because of this illness I was very slow about learning to walk and talk. I had a cocker spaniel named Chiquita. We called her Chickie for short. I learned how to walk by holding on to her ear. When I would run away with Chickie, they would call her and she would go running to them and lead them to me. One day I was over at my friend's house and Mother called me home. Chickie started to follow me. When we were half way across the street, my friend's car came out of the driveway and ran over Chickie. And that was the end of Chickie, my dog. My name is not Sally. It is Sarah Ann. When I was naughty, Mother would call me Sarah. When she would ask me where Sarah was, I would say I put her in the closet. I started to kindergarten at Holland Hall. The next two years I went to Eliot School, then I went to Lee, where I stayed until this year, when I returned to Holland Hall. I attended summer school and Saturday workshop at Philbrook. I have been to two places and they are Britton and Coalgate. This is my life up to now. ALMOST HEART FAILURE By Nancy Key 1Grade 71 It was late on a dark, cold, windy night, as I sat in bed glaring at the wall. All of a sudden I jumped down and buried my head under the cover. Finally I mustered enough courage to go wake my sister. I rose out of bed and li toed P over to her and whispered softly, Please come get in bed with me, Iim coldf' She wasn't afraid at first, but my feelings soon affected her. Mother! M-other! I screamed. No one answered. It got me! Come quicklu I howled. Daddy came rushing into my room, turned on the lights, and roared, Who got you?', I looked around. 'QN--obody, I answered in a quiver- ing voice. Daddy scoffed, Aren't you ashamed! I found out later what had scred me. The closet door was open and was swinging back and forth on the carpet. It sounded like someone creeping stealthily upstairs. And that's what I received for eating too much before I went to bed! 15 l555f5?5i?i?s:s zi. .5.5,31. 2555555552 Wanna May your joy flame up to light your holiday happiness like a candle burning brightly on a glistening tree. -,:g:EE5EQ ,, 1 i'-'th f 'fm 5525522951: j 'j:.,f'f5Q:',llIf' 4 'l.1IffQ,Q2rij.,,, 'y i A 5 ,ij V',V 21 5 E aaaa Sim Jankowskv ff Sm In lzllq Q I: 4I Years of Leadership 2 -V,- liliiilfilffliff Ei Q ':,5j5i3i5E55iifi1EI:Ii VZV.

PLACE-Santa Claus' Haven. SETTING--Dimly lighted room. P ACTION-Looking over a stack of letters is an old man whom we all know and love, Santa Claus. A particular letter stands out among the rest as it is typed in purple ink and it is exception- ally thick. As Santa Claus reaches for it, he wonders who could write so many requests as to fill a thick envelope. Tear- ing it open he soon finds that it is'from a certain Holland Hall school in Junc- tion City, No Man's Land. Waiting no longer he reads on. And this is what he reads: My dear Mr. Santa Claus: It has been a habit of ours each year to request only what we need. A few re- quests may seem rather odd, but you must remember that we are desperate. 'iFirst of all a certain Julie, I'll omit the last name for fear of embarrassment, is desperate for a pair of pajamas, a bathrobe, and bedroom slippers. Of course, it would be convenient if you could possibly throw in a soldier. I'm sure she would be very grateful. KA: this Santa wonders a little: what can this mean?j A certain student, if you'll consider her so, Sally White, would like a suit-preferably a divorce suit as she is wanting to marry a certain Cascia boy. Mary Louise, again I omit the last name, would like a boat-or was it a beau-well anyway, send both. Oh yes, please send our sweater girl, Moe Evans, all types of sweaters. fAlso all shapeslj Also please send Ruby Webb a train ticket to Oklahoma City. It's really worth the money for all she gets 'out of it-eh Ruby? Next comes a pe- culiar request from a certain language teacher--a teddy bear. fShe likes the one in the senior room and misses her playthings at home.J A certain Ellen C. C. wishes a perfect Latin student. lWell, what's the matter with Julie Flint?J M. E. Waters wishes a watch- perhaps to keep watch over a certain R. A certain Ellen McEwen wishes a wardrobe-could she mean a trousseau? Marion McMillin wishes a convertible.

One morning not so long ago, I was awakened very suddenly by the ring of the phone, only to find that it was Pud. No one but Pud would think of calling a girl at seven-thirty merely to ask whether she would go to the show with him. Things weren't coagulating with me as yet, so to my later amazement, I accepted. After I'd put down the receiver, I turned over, mumbling something which I won't re- peat, and fell asleep. When I awoke, I thought the episode on the phone was a nightmare until Pud called again and said he'd be by at five-thirty. Why five- thirty is beyond me, but that's what he said. It didn't take tive-thirty long to arrive and with it-Pud! I tried to linger up- stairs as long as I could before going down to be tortured. I finally started clown, but bef-ore I got to the bottom step, there was Pud pulling me as if I were a rag doll down the stairs, out the door, and into the car-or I might say over it, be- cause the right door don't open so the only way to get in was to slide under the wheel and across. We were off and how! I took one look at Pud and near- ly collapsed. His black greasy hair was standing straight up like the hair on a frightened catg his tie was bright green with little orange dots, his suit was a zoot. I observed no more! As we entered the show, Buck Rogers and His Bucking Cow Boys, he let out a war whoop, thinking, I guess, that he was none other than the Lone Ranger in person. We sat on the front row so Pud could get a close-up of Buck, while I went blind. The horses started coming and there was Pud jumping up and down, slapping my back, and practically dis- locating the row of seats. All the way home, Pud bucked his car. At last we were home. I know now the meaning of Home, Sweet Home. Please take my advice! Man shortage or no man shortage, never take a date with a pud. f --me . T112-A-sl . - -Q -.Q ,, , ..... A -3 Q sign, 2 i ff?

L I MISS HOLLAND HALL - December, 1945 ,H REPORTERS: , 2, Barbara McGill 0 C Gi Debby Page S 4 Frances McMillin Q 9, Mary Louise Hall Af? edge Eileen Maloney JCHOUV EIGHTH GRADE NOTES On Friday, November 16, the eighth grade, aided by the seventh grade, gave an assembly program observing National Education Week. Reports were given on various magazines, newspapers, and books. Meg Simpson reported the high lights to be found in Time magazine, Leah Britton presented The Reader's Digest. Barbara McGill explained the different sec- tions of the Tulsa Tribune. Books reviewed included A Man Without A Country, Meet Corliss Archer, and Seventeen, dis- cussed in turn by Joanne Kennedy, Pattie Chapman, and Joey Canterbury. Humor was the keynote of the one-act play, Romance of a Busy Broker, by O,Henry. The cast included Ann Henry, narrator, Josephine Davis as Harvey Maxwell, the Busy Broker, Ann Bailliere, as Miss Leslie, the beautiful secretary, Cora Jean Mundy as Pitcher, the clerk, Ronda Russell as a young woman applying for a position, and Pat Davis as office boy. The fol- lowing poem read by Tam Dudley concluded the program: Books are keys to wisdom's treasure, Books are gates to lands of pleasure, Boioks are paths that upward leadg Books are friends-come, let us read. The program was directed by Mrs. Kiker, our English teacher. All eighth graders participated with the exception of Jane Marshall, who was ill at the time. We regretted this im- mensely. To all of you the eighth grade wishes the same old wish of a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. NINTH GRADE NOTES For a few days in November we were without a president and our vice-president, Julia Ann Park, took over. Our presi- dent, Virginia Ruprecht, had gone on a six day leave, starting with November 11, to Cincinnati, Ohio, with her parents, Dr. and Mrs. Homer A. Ruprecht, who were attending the Southern Medical Convention. They -remained in Cincinnati for two days and then went to visit Virginia's grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Ruprecht, who live in Lakewood, Ohio. They took the train to Chicago and from there returned to Tulsa by plane. As a class project on Wednesday, November Z8, eight mem- bers iof our class went to traffic court to listen to the trials. These members were: Carol Bryan, Caroline Clarke, Margaret Anne Graham, Dottie Lindburg, Martha McCabe, Julia Ann Park, Virginia Ruprecht, Katty White, and Miss Craig, ninth grade sponsor. On Friday, November 30, the ninth grade gave a backward-forward open house party for the Upper School and their dates. Hours were from eight to twelve. The freshmen were the first to give an all-school party in the school building this year. TENTH GRADE NOTES Every Tuesday night, the sophomores hop on a bus, leaving their cares behind them, and start for O.M.A. There they spend a pleasant evening dancing with O.M.A. cadets. These Tuesday night dances are not social occasions as such, but dancing classes conducted by Miss Juana Bell, who for several years has taught dancing at the military academy. We do not 18 have an orchestra, but the piano music is peppy. We are learning the rumba, somba, and the tango. There are three classes each Tuesday evening, from seven to eight, from eight to nine, and from nine to ten. Sophomores who have attended these classes are Julie Flint, Margaret Foster, Frances McMillin, Delma Jo Mason, Celia Nesbitt, Rosemary Traugh, Ruby Webb, and Sally White. Our one and only Tish Moran prefers T.U. We are all very enthusiastic about our Bond Queen candi- date, Delma Jo Mason. She is a new girl and her home is in Oklahoma City. All of us are working very hard to sell all the bonds we can before the dead line, December 8, for we know that she would make a lovely queen. ELEVENTH GRADE NOTES The juniors are proud of the fact that the Student Council chose one of the class, Jean Ache, to supervise the groups in charge of flag raising and to arrange for the changing of Color Guard. Jean is also our class candidate for Bond Queen and the class is very sure that she would make a beautiful queen. At present most of us are interested in dancing. Every Tuesday night Marilyn Sexton, Margaret Evans, Marion Mc- Millin, Joan Story, Mary Louise Hall, Kitty Ledbetter, and Maurine Johnson are regular passengers on the bus to O.M.A., to learn new dance steps under the direction of Miss Juana Bell. The same girls are also in the Friday afternoon dancing class at Holland Hall, with Miss Bell as director. Our Oak- wold members have attended the Civic Music concerts at Con- vention Hall. When the Roller Skating Vanities were at the Coliseum the last week in November, Marion McMillin and Mary Louise Hall went around for days afterward exclaiming how beautiful the performance was. The juniors are planning to sponsor the sale of Holland Hall stickers, but are having trouble figuring out a design. However, we hope to have the stickers out before long and then it will be hard for Walter to keep the Holland Hall bus clear, as the girls are set on adding to the present collection of stickers. We are looking forward with great enthusiasm to December 19, when one of our number will be crowned Christmas queen. As soon as the carol service is over, the Oakwold girls will leave for home by auto, train, or plane. The one who is going the farthest is Joan Story, who goes to Gouverneur, New York. Each junior wishes you a Merry Christmas. TWELFTH GRADE NOTES The Class of '46 is certainly in a dither about their senior sweaters and mascot. We hope to be able to tell the public soon what colors we have chosen for our class. Nancy Jo Canary has been chosen as our class candidate for Bond Queen, So seniors, hurry and buy those bonds! Virginia McMillin is the newly elected Athletic Association president. We all say, Congratulations, Virgef, With Christ- mas in the air we are all awaiting with eager anticipation the many Christmas formals. A few of those who will be seen among the crowd at Junior Assembly will be Eileen Maloney and David Morgan, Virginia McMillin and.Happy Sharp, Mary Ellen Waters with Jimmy Robinson, and Richard Beverage, and Betty White with Jimmy Conway and Tom Mueller. Ar the Cascia formal will be seen Nancy Jo Canary and Jim Teele and Sue Martin and Joe Larcher. The Delta Pi informal just wouldn't be complete without Sue Woodring and Jim Dunlap. Then we mustnit forget Rajah, where you will again find Nancy Jo Canary and Jim Teele and Betty White and Tom Mueller. The senior class wishes to express to everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Deoei-nber,1945 - MISS HOLLAND HALL LOWER GRADES VISIT FIRE STATION AND POST OFFICE On Friday, November 2, 1945, the first, second, and third grades visited the Fire Station and the Post Office. At the Lower School Assembly, November 19, the members of these classes narrated their visit in the following way: THE FIRE STATION Elizabeth Diggs: We first saw the No. 1 Ladder truck. The ladder could go nine stories high to save peoplef' Donna Joye Carson: We saw the workshop where all the Tulsa fire engines and trucks are repaired and repainted. Sally Evans: We saw the fire chiefis car and the hose truck and the chemical truck. The chemical truck is used for oil and gas firesf, Joanne Williams: The firemen live upstairs.

Judy Jo Davis: He slides down the pole, jumps on the truck, and puts on his fireproof coat and helmet. He is out of the building in fifteen seconds. Linda Schoenfeld: 1'The fireman took Claire Sue, Patsy Sue, and me down the shiny brass pole. It was fun. Around the bottom of the pole was painted a yellow circle to keep people away from the pole. Judy Adams: t'In the office we saw where the fire alarms come in and the signal board tells the firemen where to gof, Sandra Spivey: There was a radio truck to talk to the firemen whenever they were at the fire. THE POST OFFICE Patricia Sue Wells: Every morning the mail collector drives down the city streets and stops at all the mail boxes. He takes the letters and packages that he finds to the post ofhcef, Claire Sue Bagg: The letters are put on tables called 'pick-up' tables. The letters are turned so that the stamps are all in the same order, then they are put through the cancelling machine. Diane Lee Thompson: The stamps on the letters look dif- ferent after they come out of the machine. There are black marks on them. Stamps that have black marks on them can- not be used again, The cancelling machine marks each letter with the name of the post office. It puts a date on the letters roof, Carolyn Cremin: Letters that are too large or too small are sorted and cancelled, they put them into the big mail bags. They carry mail to other countries, too.', Diane Jackson: Mail trucks take the mail bags from the post ofiice to the depot, also to the airportf' Rebecca Traband: When the letters arrive in the city to which they are sent they are taken to the post oflice. Mail clerks open the big mail bags. They put the mail for different parts of the city into different boxes. There is a big box for each postmanf' Sandra Nichols: Each,postman sorts his own mail. He puts the mail into his sack and walks down the street.

MUSIC DEPARTMENT This magazine is honored in presenting Alma Witek, con- cert violinist and head of the music department of Holland Hall. It was only by chance that last September the school learned that Mme. Witek, en route to her studio in New York, was visiting in Tulsa. Contact was made and the artist was persuaded to take over the school's music program. Classes in music appreciation, part singing in glee club, and individual lessons on piano and violin are provided. Mme. Witek has had an unusual musical career. She was born Alma Rosengren in the Swedish settlement of Lindsborg, Kansas, a community which is one hundred per cent musically minded. She attended Bethany College at Lindsborg and received the Bachelor of Music degree. The following year she was studying violin in Boston under Anton Witek, internationally known concert master and teacher and for some years concertmaster with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. She was to spend six years study- ing in Boston with an interim when she served as concertmaster and solist of the Bethany College Symphony Orchestra and head of the violin department. During this period she also served as guest artist for the classes in music appreciation at Harvard and at RadcliH:e. She was first violinist of the Boston McDowell Club Orchestra and appeared on the concert stage throughout the eastern states and Canada. At the completion of her study she served for three years as head of the violin department of Baylor University at Waco. Then came a six year stay abroad. She was on concert tour when her former teacher, Anton Witek, then serving as concert- master of the Frankfort-on-Main Symphony Orchestra, per- suaded her to bring her music to Frankfort. It was in Frank- fort that Alma Rosengren and Anton Witek were married. From then on they filled engagements in many capitals of Europe. In Paris they appeared jointly as first and second Cohcertmasters. In Bayreuth Anton Witek received the very high honor of being named concertmaster of the Bayreuth Festival Orchestra, an all-star group assembled from all Europe. At the Festspielhaus at Bayreuth Mme. Witek appeared with her 20 husband in a duo rendition of S. Bach's Double Concerto, accompanied by the Bayreuth Festival Orchestra. The Colum- bia Phonograph Company of London made records of this performance. After their return to America, Anton and Alma Witek ap- peared repeatedly as duo artists in New York and Boston. After the death of her husband, Mme. Witek accepted a po- sition as head of the violin department, Academy of Allied Arts, New York City. Later she accepted a position as head of the music department with the Howell School of Music at Winston- Salem, North Carolina. For the past several years she has had her own studio in Steinway Hall, New York. THANKSGIVING SERVICES CONCLUDE THE NOVEMBER 21 SCHOOL SESSION Following tradition Holland Hall students went to school only half a day on the Wednesday preceding Thanksgiving. Half hour classes were followed at 11:30 by Thanksgiving chapel. Thanksgiving songs and hymns were supplied by each home room group of the primary and middle grades and by the Holland Hall Glee Club with the support of the sixth and seventh grades. Rosie Brown gave the inspiring words of Emma Lazarus' inscription on the Statue of Liberty. The services were concluded by Miss McCormack, who read to us the very impressive poem of Leigh Hunt's, Abou Ben Adhemf' JOHN SHAW ADDRESSES STUDENTS By Joyce jones CGrade 121 Holland Hall girls very thoroughly enjoyed the assembly talk of Mr. John B. Shaw, of the Tulsa Book Shop. He spoke to us at the one o'clock assembly, Tuesday, November 20. Since his interests lie in drinking, poker, and books-or so he would have us believe-he talked about books and reading. Of the forty percent of the American people who read, he told us, thirty-three percent read comic magazines and other cheap publications. Only seven percent read books. Reading should be begun young, Mr. Shaw insists. And it should be done comfortably. Mr. Shaw himself prefers a tub and a shot of brandy, although he doesn't recommend it to the younger gen- eration. One should read everything. Many best-sellers are good books. The main thing is to be curious. To develop speed in reading, he advises giving the work in hand full at- tention. He suggests the re-reading of a good book several times. As Mr. Shaw is a collector of books, he gave some points for building up our own libraries. A home library should not have a plan: the individual should buy what interests him. The contents of a library reiiect the personality of the owner. Every library should include a Bible, a dictionary, Roget's Thesaurus, a mythology, the Q'World Almanac, a first aid book, Shakespeare, a good book on the English language, and a good encyclopoedia such as 'QBritannica. Collecting books is an incurable habit. Few women are collectors, probably be- cause of their thriftiness. A11 children should have a special allowance for buying books, and their purchasing should have little supervision. Mr. Shaw also pointed out that not age but content determines the value of books. Mr. Shaw is invited to return to tell us about the history of books and printing. We are looking forward to his next Vlslt. December, 1945 - MISS HOLLAND HALL NINTH GRADERS VISIT TRAFFIC COURT By julia Ann ,Park fGrade 9? On November 28, at the invitation of Captain McGuire of the Traffic Squad and Lieutenant Riggs of the Motorcycle Corps, Carol Bryan, Caroline Clarke, Margaret Anne Graham, Dorothy Lindburg, Martha McCabe, Mary Lee Mulhall, julia Ann Park, Virginia Ruprecht, and Katty White, with their sponsor, Miss Craig, attended the traffic court held at 4:00 p. m. in the City Court building. Behind the judicial seat was a large seal of the City of Tulsa and at one side the American flag. As the judge entered, the people arose. When the Judge asked the visitors and the defendants if they had been in court before, they all replied that they had not. Those present were im- pressed with the dangers and the responsibility of driving an automobile. We learned that if an atomic bomb were dropped on a city of approximately 150,000, it would kill 50,000 people, or one-third of the population, which is the same number of people in the United States that are annually killed, crippled, or injured by drunk or reckless drivers. Next, his Honor pro- ceeded to the first case on the docket. The case was a boy, aged 17, whom we shall call John A. The defendant was asked if he desired a jury trial because the penalty for his offense, being over szo.oo, would entitle him to this. He declined and pleaded guilty. The facts of the case were presented. The defendant was charged with reckless driv- ing in an attempt to frighten some boys who had stepped off the curb, by pretending he was going to run lover them. If the brakes had not held, it would have been just too bad. He was given a lecture, penalized 534.00 and costs, and his driver's license was suspended for ninety days. His father, mother, and other members of his family were present at the trial. Another instance of traffic violation was that of two adult negro cab drivers, who were charged with speeding. They were racing when they were apprehended by the traffic officer. They pleaded guilty, were fined 819.00 each, and their drivers, licenses were suspended for sixty days. Another interesting case was that of Susie B, aged ZZ, who struck a car while learning to drive. Unfortunately, she had not obtained a beginnerls license. In view of her ignorance of this requirement, the Judge denied her the privilege of ob- taining one for sixty days and dismissed the case. In a heart- to-heart talk, Susie was advised to practice driving on a country road and not on a city thoroughfare. Probably the most interesting case was that of Harry W. The charge was leaving the scene of an accident. He refused to plead guilty or not guilty, but elected to explain his most unusual predicament. The defendant claimed that his wife was having a hemorrhage at the time of the accident and he, theref-ore, was justified in leaving the scene of the accident in order to rush her to a house nearby. The case was continued until December 5, when the plaintiff could be present. A case that interested us was that of a young negro, driver for a linen supply company. He was charged with reckless driv- ing. His car ran into a taxi, throwing an occupant through the windshield, thus cutting him severely about the face. For this offense, the driver was fined 550.00 and costs, ninety day cancellation of his driver's license, and four days in jail. We wondered why the only jail sentence was given to a colored person. After watching the traffic court for one hour, we re- solved to be careful drivers. We shall not take chances on killing pedestrians and other riders, if for no other reason, that we may keep out of the clutches of the law. MISS HOLLAND HALL - December,1945 FRESHMEN ENTERTAIN WITH OPEN HOUSE AND DANCE The week following the Thanksgiving holidays was a busy one for ninth graders, for on Friday, November 30, they were to give an open house and dance for the entire Upper School, faculty, students, and their dates. Committees included the following: Invitation, Martha Hoke, Margaret Anne Gra- ham, Refreshments, Milly Wilson, Diana Kirk, Julia Ann Park, Decorations, Caroline Clarke, Martha McCabe, Mary Lee Mulhall, Greeting, Virginia Ruprecht, president, Carol Bryan, Dottie Lindburgg Entertainment, Katty White, Marie Coyle, Debbie Page. Friday afternoon found not only the decorat- ing committee, but Carol Bryan, Margaret Anne Graham, Vir- ginia Ruprecht, and Katty White in the auditorium cutting streamers or atop ladders fastening up the decorations. When the dance opened at eight, all was in readiness. No ceiling lights were used. High-powered lights in standards shaded with blue celophane cast a soft glow over the room. Three containers of white cluster chrysanthemums, the gift of Mrs. George Clarke, added to the gala effect. Dancing was under way by eight-thirty and each half hour saw more and more couples on the Hoor as juniors and seniors who had come from other parties or football games arrived. A table with lace cloth and a center-piece of flowers stood on the stage. Here from time to time guests refreshed themselves with dough- nuts, popcorn, and cokes. At 11:55 the juke box was for a moment disconnected. This proved to be a reminder that there was but one more dance. At midnight lights were turned up, and guests departed telling their hostesses that they had had a fine time. Chaperons for the party were Mr. and Mrs. B. Jarrett, Dr. and Mrs. Hugh Grahamg Mr. George Clarke, Mrs. W. Bryan, Jr., Miss Ellen Collins Craig, class sponsor. WEDNESDAY CHAPEL IS WELL SUPPORTED BY STUDENTS By Pattie Chapman fGrade 81 The weekly chapel service, this year as last, is always looked forward to with interest. It occurs each Wednesday at 8:40. Miss McCormack, principal, Dean Anderson, staff members, and student officers take turns in leading. One of the more inspiring chapels occurred on Wednesday, November 7, when Miss Margaret Walker, teacher of English and senior class sponsor, was in charge. Miss Walker quoted a few lines from two lovely poems, 'iEach in His Own Tongue, by William Herbert Carruth, and Wind in the Pine, by Lew Sarett. Madame Witek, in charge of the music department at H-olland Hall, played a beautiful violin solo, Meditation,H from the opera, Thais, by Masenet. Her accompanist was Rosalie Barry, a graduate of Holland Hall. Very impressive also were the chapel services of Wednesday, November 28, when Mrs. E. Kiker was leader. Her theme was Giving.', A hymn with this emphasis served as a choral reading with Upper and Lower School alternating. There was breathless attention as Mrs. Kiker told, without notes, O'Henry's Christmas story, Gift of the Magifl This story deals with a young married couple, who don't have much money. The wife had very long hair, so she sold it for twenty dollars to buy her husband an expensive key chain for Christmas. Not knowing that she had done this, he sold his watch to get her some beautiful hair combs. In the end, they decided to put their presents away until her hair should grow out and he could buy another watch. Music for chapel is supplied by Madame Witek, violinist, and Joyce Jones, senior, pianist. 21 l 1 RED CROSS HAS ACTIVE CHAPTER By Nelda ,Wells fGrade 125 The Holland Hall chapter of Junior Red Cross opened the year by electing Mary Jane Feemster president, Celia Nes- bitt, vice-president, Martha McCabe, secretary, and Joan Story, treasurer. Because of her appointment to the editorship of Miss Holland Halli' and Eight Acres Mary Jane was forced to resign her office, Nelda Wells was then elected president. Representatives on the Red Cross Council for grades twelve through seven are: Nelda Wells, Mary Jane Feemster, Joan Story, Celia Nesbitt, Martha McCabe, Marie Coyle, Pattie Chap- man, Barbara McGill, and Grace Crowder. Classes with an en- rollment of ten or more have two representatives. The school has a one hundred per cent enrollment in Junior Red Cross. Each home room of Upper and Lower School has paid its fifty cents dues. The request for Christmas boxes for children iover-seas rushed upon the Red Cross Council too fast for very much to be accomplished. The ninth grade sent a committee to town to select the articles for two boxes. Included in each box were the following: a box of marbles, a package of jacks, a rubber ballg an eraser, a deck of cards, a whistle, a box of crayolasg a box of candles, Z pencils, a yo yo, tooth brush, tooth powderg shoe laces, a comb, two pairs of socks, safety pins, ribbon, writing pad, paste. The eleventh grade collected 52.50, which was turned in with the boxes. The Red Cross Council and the Student Council working jointly provided floats to represent Holland Hall in the Victory Parade of October 29. Nancy Jo Canary drove her sister's convertible, in which the officers of the Red Cross rode. The oflicers of the Student Council, Sue Martin, Jean Ache, Frances McMillin, and Debby Page, rode in Mrs. Sam Russell's red Cadilac convertible, with Sue Martin at the wheel. Nancy's car had a beautiful white crepe paper frilled skirt with blue and white streamers. The car carried a Red Cross emblem at front and rear and on each door a sign, NI-lolland Hall Helpsf, Sue's car was decorated with blue and white streamers and on either side bore the sign, Holland Hall Helps. The Red Cross Council is sponsoring the bond drive in our school. We are all working hard selling Victory bonds and stamps to get our favorite candidate elected as Bond Queen.

' 'psi HOLLAND HALL BOND SALES CONTEST RAISES OVER HALF MILLION The Holland Hall bond. sales contest, sponsored by the Holland Hall chapter of Junior Red Cross, came to a close on December 10, with a total in sales of ,S532,305.00. All home rooms from grades one to twelve participated. At the begin- ning of the drive each home room had chosen a bond queen candidate, every dollar of bonds purchased through a given home room counted as a vote for the candidate of that room. The polls closed with the sixth grade in the lead and with grades one and seven coming in second and third. At a special assembly held on Friday, December 14, Martha Canter- bury, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Canterbury, sixth grade representative, was crowned queen by Nelda Wells, president of the Holland Hall Junior Red Cross. Her attendants were Judy Jo Davis, daughter of Mrs. Sidney Davis, representing grade one, and Laura Clarke, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Clarke, representing grade seven, who were the two runners-up. The ceremony was col-orful. A color scheme of red, white, and blue was used. The dark red stage curtains, drawn, carry- ing a large letter V, formed the background.. The throne was covered with royal blue. The sixth and seventh grades, honor- ing their candidates, supplied two baskets of large white mums. Martha Canterbury, as queen, wore a formal of baby blue. Judy Jo, who acted as crown bearer, carried on a lace pillow the circlet of red carnations. Also on the stage were the remain- ing candidates from the various home rooms: Nancy Jo Canary, grade twelve, Jean Ache, grade eleven, Delma Jo Mason of Oklahoma City, grade ten, Virginia Ruprecht, grade nineg Ann Henry, grade eight, Jackie Warren, grades four and five, and Jamie Singletary, grades two and three. The program was concluded by an improvised recessional, sung by the entire school, to the tune of Bell Bottom Trousers. We here at Holland Hall Purchased bonds for you, For the boys in khaki And in navy blue. They who fought on foreign soil They were always true, So purchasing a Victory Bond Was the least that we could do. December, 1945 - MISS HOLLAND HALL presents to create fun are allowed.

The day after the crowning these two representatives of Holland Hall will go with the queen to take the money in person to the hos- pital for the maintenance of the Holland Hall room. 23 s mfefs if HOLLAND HALL RESIDENCE Lying in our snug beds with one eye half open, we at Oak- wold sometimes take a minute before braving the icy morning breeze to wonder where the days have flown. H-owever, invari- ably these thoughts are interrupted either by the proctor yank- ing away the covers or the merciless breakfast bell. In our mad dash to the radiator, which is shamefully, but needfully pampered, the more thoughtful wonder in a distracted sort of way when Christmas shopping is to be done and more important with what. Even Einstein would run into difficulties on a 52.50 allowance and as Miss Seideman can testify, we are not mathematical geniuses. These musings are driven abruptly from mind as a cold elbow jabs your favorite rib, so with a sigh and a shove you dismiss them and nose back into the im- mediate circle around the radiator. And where has the time gone? If considerable thought is given the matter, you may remember these phenomenal events. Dancing classes at O.M.A., and riding lessons have continued, both doing wonders for the general morale. The Oklahoma City trip of October 26 was enjoyed by all and, as was pre- dicted, Oklahoma Cityis Classen slaughtered Tulsa's Webster, a fact which has kept the Oklahoma City girls gloating for weeks. And don't forget our Hallowe'en party. We opened the coke bar, invited guests, and turned on the vic. Three hours later at the point of exhaustion we started to retire and needless to say, were rather perturbed to find post toasties and other tidbits in our beds. Tam discovered that some card, not be- ing content with the post toasties trick, had borrowed her bed and the resident body as a whole devoted the next hour to the search. Armistice Day was proclaimed. Truman declared Monday a national holiday and we were given a free week-end. Rosie,s household was turned topsy-turvy, as not only Rosie, but Mari- lyn, Dottie, and Bee as well, called the Brown residence home during our three day parole.', Of course, Kitty, Pat, Nancy, Cora Jean, Ruby, Maurine, and Mary Alma went to their re- spective homes, while others visited or just slept. Miss Anderson took Marie, Tam, and Rita to Arkansas, where they alternately fished, slept, and ate. Joan and Barbara visited Mary Louise Hall, who showed them Tulsa, as Joan put it, the way Tulsa ought to be shown, while Rosie Traugh and Delma Jo stayed at Oakwold glorying in the fact that there was neither proctor nor breakfast bell to interrupt their dreams. The next week-end we recuperated, Nothing spectacular, in fact, nothing even of mild interest occurred, which was a 24 welcome change as we were literally at the end of our rope. Monday and Tuesday dragged by and at last Wednesday came. Chemistry, English, Spanish, a Ere drill, and Thanksgiving chapel passed in rapid succession until at twelve we were dis- missed. With great confusion taxis buzzed in, mounds of lug- gage were lugged out, girls, luggage, and hats were somehow piled in, and by twelve-thirty the campus was deserted except for Mr. Chips, who was last seen with his head on his paws looking rather mystified and terribly lonesome. Thanksgiving zoomed by. Everyone returned preoccupied. Rosie was perturbed over her baby sister, who had swallowed her brother's model plane propellor. joan had visited Maurine in Sapulpa and both came back claiming the superiority of Sapulpa men, a point strongly contested by Oklahoma City girls as a whole. Kitty claims Chuck, Pat claims Ford, Rosie claims Joe, Barbara claims Larry, Delma Jo claims Bobby, Rosemary Traugh claims Bob, while Mary Alma is still partial to her little brother. Dotty came back alternately moaning over the literary style of this column and mooning over Danny David David Dolan fwhich is NOT a misprint.l Ruby walked in without a word, plumped down on the nearest bed, and has been asleep or in a coma ever since, so the logical conclusion is that she and sonny had a pretty good time. On the tragic side: Rita ran six blocks to turn out the fire under the turkey, then ate so much she spent the next two days in bed. Pat Davis had her finger run over by a toy train and Sexton is losing sleep as she still canit decide between Dick and Phil. Any advice on this subject will be appreciated as at this point it is evident that she'll never decide. The rest of the house was seized with a sudden fit of coyness and would only mumble, We really didn't do a thing. However, as was obvious from the blushes and giggles, they are all very plainly fwith due apologiesl liars. And now Christmas is here. We still havenit done our Christmas shopping and still need a mathematical genius to pro- vide something to do it with. Call 4-1985: this is your chance to be remembered on judgment day. Of course, some in our midst have saved as much as fourteen dollars from their allow- ances for this purpose, but unfortunately this refers only to the Scotch population at the residence, of which there is a definite shortage. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from the residence, I remain ' Your Perturbed Reporter. December,1945 - MISS HOLLAND HALL : E 5 vm: '55, :. fy 'AQ Q 9 4 M ff 4?

Veasey, one of the founders of Holland Hall. Judge Veasey is an authority on oil law. He is back in the old home and is devoting his time to writing. THE STORY LADY Mary Veasey Leech, '24, author of children,s books that go all over the country, finds time also for unusual civic duties. She knows the birthdays of all the children at the Convalescent Home for Crippled Children and sends them birthday cards. She goes out to the Home and reads to the children. She has been named by these little sufferers, 'QThe Story Lady. PRESENTING LITTLE MISS RHEES The date, April 27, deserves a mark on the calendar. It was on that day that little Mary Katherine Rhees arrived. She is the daughter of Dorothy Veasey Rhees, Holland Hall, '25. A LETTER FROM MANILA Eleanore Pearce West, '38, is with the Red Cross stationed in the Pacific. In a recent letter to her cousin, Mrs. L. B. Peters, she writes, 'KI did so want to go to Europe, although being in the Philippines is an experience I should hate to miss. I'11 admit that it is anything but a place of beauty after all the damage and devastation. There are still the famous and interesting landmarks to see such as Santo Thomas, the Walled City, McArthur's former headquarters, various churches such as the one with a bamboo organ built around 1850, and Bilibid prison, where Yamashito's trial is now in progress. I hope to get a chance to hear part of it. i'Words are really inadequate to describe some of the places and people on the islands. The other noon at the lunch hour several of us decided to drive to the Chinese cemetery, which is one of the most talked about spots in Manila. A mint of money must have been spent on some of the edifices there, for some are pagoda style, elaborately decorated with inlaid glass designs such as dragons, etc. On A11 Saint's Day the people left at the cemetery flowers, candles, food, and prayers cut on paper. The natives here wear very shabby clothing. The little boys, top shirts only. The women carry everything from fish to laundry on their heads while the husband is most likely to be seen riding on a caribao at the side. UI am living in town at present. I was previously helping at the 29th Replacement Depot, where the recovered personnel were staying until transportation could be furnished. It is good to be living in a billet instead of a tent. There are nine of us here and we have had heaps of fun furnishing and deco- rating the place-burlap tables fatabrine dyedl, bamboo tables, etc. Ha1lowe'en was an excuse to have a party, so we decorated with an orange parashute, candles, and paper decorations. We hire our own cook, shop at the commissary, and plan our own meals. The most delicious meals I have eaten have been at Caribao Wallowf' Comm. Perry's quarters, and not so long ago I was invited for dinner on Adm. Glover's flagship. The Navy really eats in style. 26 The boys waiting here at the replacement centers are furious about the long delay in securing transportation and I canit say that I blame them, for there seem to be lots of ships in the harbour. The high-point men are writing everyone at home fincluding senatorsj in hopes they can get home by Christmas. A RECENT WEDDING The Tulsa World for November 15 carried a lovely picture of Mary Louise Shade, '38, in her wedding gown. She wore a turban cap with long English tulle veil. She carried a shower bouquet of gardenias and bouvardia centered with white orchids. She was married at 4:30, November 14, in Christ the King Church, to Lt. Charles A. McNamara, Jr. She was given in marriage by her father, Mr. Raleigh Stachys Shade. Mrs. Thomas S. Yancy was matron of honor and only attendant. Capt. Jacob L.

A VICTORY BOND DRIVE Two members of Holland Hall's 1944 Class, Marian Foster and Helen Beth Westfall, now in their second year at Ward- Belmont, were leaders in helping their college to reach its 311,000.00 goal in the nation-wide seventh bond drive. The privilege of holding administrative oiiice at Ward-Belmont was auctioned off to the heaviest buyer of bonds. Marian secured the presidency with 51000.00 in bonds. Her first official act was the issuing of a proclamation instructing Dr. Robert C. Provine, actual president, to enroll men students. Helen Beth for 8185.00 bid in the ofiice of hall mother of Hale Hall.

LOWER SCHOOL lfrom page 191 SEVENTH AND EIGHTH GRADES CELEBRATE BOOK WEEK WITH ASSEMBLY PROGRAM By Ann Henry 1Grade 85 On Friday, November 16, the seventh and eighth grades gave an assembly program in recognition of National Book Week. After Ann Arnold, the announcer, had led the Hag salute and explained the numbers of the program, the curtains were opened to reveal a group of seventh grade girls seated in a semi-circle on the stage. Each girl had a part in relating the history of the printing press. They informed us of the se- quence of events leading from the earlier stages of printing to the most modern press. The girls who participated were: Priscilla Carter, Laura Clarke, Grace Crowder, Louise Curran, Cornelia Hall, Nancy Lackey, Nancy Key, Jeannie Warren, Peggy Wilson. The speeches were given so well that we were all very enthusiastic in our appreciation. Next they recited in unison 1'The Land of Magic. As they finished, Judy Holle- man entered the stage adorned in a black cape with newspapers and book covers sewed all over it. She read to us, UI Am the Printing Press. We all enjoyed hearing Judy read because of her sincerity and the nicety of her expression. When Judy had finished, Jeannie Warren said, Now, let's have some book reportsf' Peggy Wilson added, And maga- zinesf, Members of the eighth grade read reports they had written. The next number was a skit, e'The Romance of a Busy Brokerf' put on by the eighth grade. In conclusion, Tam Dudley read, 'lThe Glory of Booksf, The program was under the direction of Mrs. Edward Kiker.

It is the last day of merry-making and feasting before Lent starts on Ash Wednesday. Its origin is traced back about five thou- sand years to a group of shepherds in pagan Arcadia, who held a spring festival. This year the Mardi Gras festival in New Orleans will be held for the first time since the war interrupted its celebration. Many balls are already being held and the city will take part in an increasing number of these balls and soirees with street parades adding color and fun to the last week. Although it takes a whole year to build some of the elaborate floats used in these parades, the sudden end of the war found New Orleans well prepared. The floats which had been started for the 1943 carnival needed little but retouching and finishing to make them ready for this year. Those who do not take actual part in the parade, almost universally dress in carnival costume, often very elaborate, and walk the streets in groups or alone. At midnight on Shrove Tuesday, there is a parade through the streets as the statue of the Virgin is placed in the church. The next day Lent starts, which is a period of forty days, excluding Sundays, that runs until Easter morning. This is a period devoted to fasting, self-denial, and penitence and is observed by the Catholic and Episcopal churches and some others. Latin countries take to the spirit of carnival more naturally and more ardently perhaps than do persons of Anglo-Saxon descent and tempera- ment. Hawthorne in his novel, The Marble Faun, gives a striking de- scription of a carnival in Rome, in which the conscience-stricken heroine participates, the last merriment in which she indulges-somewhat sadly- before she devotes herself to a life of penitence. Probably the Latin element-the Spanish, the French-in the popula- tion of old New Orleans explains why this city more than any other in America is associated with Mardi Gras.

McCORMACK, Principal of Holland Hall , I --. - Q Lf. ' .5 f The book, Paul Revere and the World He Lived Inf' by Esther Forbes, is not a new book: it came out in 1942. How- ever because the month of February is so closely associated with George Washington, a consideration of his contemporaries is in place at this time. Certainly Paul Revere himself is one of the most admired characters of early America. He was born in Boston in 1735 and lived in the most important and excit- ing period of our history. He was the oldest son of a French refugee, Apollos Rivoire, who became Paul Revere when he entered this country as an apprentice to the silversmith, John Coney. The education of the younger Paul was considered sufficient when he had completed five years at the North Writ- ing School in Boston. He then entered his father's shop to learn the craft of a silversmith. In a few years he was known as a master at the art and as the best silversmith in America. He married Sara Orne. In the years between 1758 and 1772 she gave him eight children, of whom six survived infancy. She died soon after the birth of the last. Although he was the best silversmith in the colonies, Paul spent a great deal of time at engraving and dentistry. It is rumored that it was he who made George Washington's false teeth. His engravings were often copied from someone elseis drawings, As he did not excel in these two fields, he soon discontinued their practice. Paul Revere belonged to three of the many mysterious clubs which preceding the years of 1775 and 1776 were revolutionary in character. The North Caucus, composed of Whigs from North Boston, had as members along with Revere, James Otis, Sam Adams, and John Hancock, the three most influential cit- izens of Boston. The Long Room Club, the second of which Revere was a member, was composed of a small group of Har- vard graduates. Although Revere was not a Harvard man, he had other qualifications which they wanted. It was the duty of these two clubs and several other similar clubs to direct the most important group of all, the Sons of Liberty. Paul Revere was active in this group. Members were governed by organ- ized mob rule and behaved accordingly. Five months after Sara Orne Revere died, Paul married Rachel Walker. This was only a month before the Tea Act of 1773 was passed by England. When news of this act reached the colonies, the heretofore separated colonies rose as one against it. Paul Revere rode express for the Committee of Cor- respondence to gain the support of other sections for the Boston Tea Party. He took part in the dumping of the tea, but in- stead of going home to bed when the night's labor was finished, 8 he again saddled his horse and rode from Boston to Phila- delphia to spread the news. Governor Hutchinson was re- placed by General Gage, swarms of British troops arrived to be quartered in Boston homes. In the early part of the Revolutionary War, Boston was headquarters for the British. Paul Revere organized a group of about thirty men, most of whom were mechanics, to watch the movements of the British soldiers and the Tories. It was these men who were responsible for the warning of Lexington and Concord. When the lantern appeared in the tower of the Old North Church, Paul Revere was r-owed across the Charles River to Charlestown, where the best horse in town, that of the wealthy john Larkin, was waiting for him. Knowing that he would have to get past British guards who were watching for him, Revere rode the horse more carefully and expertly than he had ever ridden before. After skillfully evading the guards, he proceeded to Lexington. He warned Hancock and Sam Adams and started with William Dawes and Samuel Prescott, a doctor from Concord, to warn the minutemen at Concord. Most other histories give credit for riding to Concord to Revere, but actually the only one of the three to reach Concord was Prescott. Revere was captured by the British officers. When they discovered his identity and learned that he had warned the country-side of the British approach, the officers realized that they must join the marching columns before they were trapped. With a prisoner they could not make good time, so they were obliged to dismount Revere and set him free. Revere made his way back to Lexington. He and John Lowell, Hancockls clerk, were busy carrying Hancock's trunk of papers to safety when the British marched gallantly into the town. They were met by about seventy minutemen. Someone fired a shot, despite the fact that the captains of both ranks had ordered no firing. That set off the fireworks. During the brief skirmish which followed, eight provincials were killed. The Americans withdrew and the British marched on to Con- cord. Their arrival in Concord is described quite differently from what one finds in other accounts. Concord had been fully alarmed and had hidden all the ammunition which was stored there. The minutemen were waiting for them on the high- road, but when the British arrived, they good-naturedly turned around and escorted them into Concord. The British were given food and drinks in the taverns and chairs in the shade of trees. They were treated royally. Then word came to Col- onel Smith, in charge of a British detachment, that a number of colonists were gathered by the bridge. He took a few men to disperse them only to be defeated in the skirmish. Since the main forces of the British were on the square and could burn the town if molested, the American militiamen did not attack them. In the afternoon Pitcairn decided to return to Boston. A11 along the way his men were slaughtered by hidden Ameri- cans Hghting Indian style. By the time they reached Boston, one out of nine had been killed. During the siege of Boston, by the Americans, Paul Revere and his family moved to Watertown. Since the colonists could get powder only from foreign countries, Revere was commis- sioned to get the secret of the powder-making process. He did just that and set up a mill in Canton, which supplied the ne- cessary material. Washington was able to force the British and the Tories to evacuate Boston, and the Whigs moved in. Revere was made a lieutenant colonel and placed in command of Castle Island. He held this position till the end of the war, but he didn't like it. fContinued on page 291 February, 1946 - MISS HOLLAND HALL Oxxwmxxxnx 111111111 111f'1f fffO xxmxxmdmd Feature Story MEMORIES OF A MARINE By Margaret Foster KGrade 107 Johnnie Walker, Private, United States Marine Corps, lay on his bunk. His eyes closed and he appeared to be asleep, though actually he was very much awake, His thoughts were of a person and a place many miles away, of things that had happened many months back. Yes, his thoughts were of Mary, the places they had gone together, the crazy things they had done. He also remembered their serious moments. These he held as his most precious memories, these and the night he met her. The night he met herl Johnnie had been walking down the street staring into space. There were common enough thoughts running through Johnnie's mind that night of August 14, 1945, thoughts which might be called common because probably there were many other boys his age thinking the same things. Johnnie wondered, Now that V-J Day is here and the war is over, where shall 1 be going when I get out of 'boot ? Before, the answer had been almost certain--probably somewhere in the Pacific-but now it was most uncertain. It might be China, it might be school, it might be any number of places. It didn't bother him too much. He knew there was plenty for him to dog he knew the Marines needed boys of his age for any number of things. That date again, August 14, 1945, it would be ex- actly a month from tomorrow that he would leave for San Diego and Marine boot camp. The loud blast of a horn brought Johnnie back to the present and he became aware of all the people milling around him, of other horns that before hadn't seemed to bother him in his thought of the future, and of the loud shouts of the celebrating crowd. He looked up just in time to see a blue Ford convertible opposite him in the line of cars. He thought he recognized one of the two occupants. Jean, Jean Robertsf, he called. The driver of the car turned and when she saw the six-foot- three, broad-shouldered boy running toward her, she smiled and opened the door. Climbing into the back seat, Johnnie said, Gosh, Jean, it's been a long time since 1've seen you. Yes, I know. And I want to know all you've been doing since 1 saw you last,U replied Jean, but first I want you to meet Mary Wells. Mary, this is Johnnie Walker.', Mary smiled and said, Hello, as did Johnnie. '!We came down to see what was going on,', said Jean. Did you ever see so many people? The town certainly is alive and the streets look as if it had been snowing they are so covered with paper. The rest of this scene was just a haze in Johnnieis mind. There were parts that were more clear than others, but for the most part it was a whirl of laughing eyes and shiny dark hair among crowds of pedestrians. The next time Johnnie saw Mary was at the hospital, where Mary's sister, Carolyn, was recuperating from an operation. He had known Carolyn for some time and had gone to call on her at the hospital. He had heard her speak of a sister, Mary, but at the time of his introduction to Mary Wells, it didn't occur to him that she might be Carolyn's sister. After this MISS HOLLAND HALL - February, 1946 afternoon at the hospital, Johnnie and Mary saw each other often. Nearly every afternoon Johnnie came and took Mary to the hospital. Many times there were a half dozen girls and boys in Carolyn's room when they arrived and when you went in and closed the door, you never would have known you were in a hospital except for the bare white walls. The boys had drawn a target and placed it on the door. The nurses were actually afraid to enter without knocking for fear of being hit with a. wad of clay. The clay had been rolled into small balls and laid in piles so they had a ready supply for target practice, as they called it. This was only one of the many happy-go-lucky things they had done together. Johnnie remembered snatches from every episode they had enjoyed together. An occasion he remem- bered vividly was a horse-back ride they had taken, When they arrived at the stables, they had found the place deserted. There was -only the fluttering of pigeons overhead with an oc- casionally fluffy feather floating from above to the straw-covered stable floor. Around them was the odor of freshly baled hay. The horses had looked up when they entered and some came to the door of the stall as they passed. They went to each stall, one after the other, and Mary called each horse by name. Johnnie couldn't see how she remembered them all, there were so many. As they climbed the rickety old ladder to the hay-loft t0 hunt for nests of baby pigeons, they heard the grown birds scurrying about among the rafters as if warning off all intruders. As Mary's head appeared through the opening, there was a swish of wings and they disappeared. Mary and Johnnie walked over the loft and discovered many nests of the tiny squabs. After this they sat on some bales of the sweet smelling hay. They had talked of many things that afternoon-of Johnnie's going into the Marine Corps and when he was to leave. After a while they went down the ladder and found that Bob, owner of the stables, had returned. They saddled their horses and rode away in high spirits. Yes, that afternoon together had been more fun than usual. They had discovered that they had many things in common: they both loved horses and dogs and they had the same opinion on many different subjects. The next to the last night Johnnie and Mary double-dated with Maryis best friend and her escort at an uopen housef' There was an abundance of pop corn, doughnuts, and ice cream, and Mary and Johnnie did their full share in making them dis- appear. They had danced in a tiny room with about four other couples where the only light was from the juke box. The first piece they danced to became their song. On the very last night Johnnie and Mary went out alone. That had been a fairly quiet night for them both. They both felt the tension of parting. Mary cou1dn,t quite believe that it would be months, a year, perhaps more before she would see Johnnie again. Johnnie, too, wished it need not be so long. A loud ,TENTIONW brought Johnnie back to his bunk in the Marine Barracks. The sergeant was standing in the doorway and Johnnie jumped quickly to his feet along with the rest of his buddies. This was no time for memories! i 9 KNOW TYOUR SOUTHWEST THE FRANKOMA POTTERIES By julia Ann Park CGrade 95 On a Saturday in January a dozen or more Holland Hall girls with Dean Anderson and Miss Marjorie Gustafson took a chartered bus to the Frankoma pottery plant, which is on Highway 66 leading to Sapulpa. From the bus we went to the display room, where we saw the finished products. There were horses, Indian heads, figurines, vases, pitchers, and other dishes, to mention a few things. From the show room we went to the factory itself. Mr. Frank, the owner, told us a few facts before showing us through. He gets his clay, he explained, from Ada, Oklahoma. This particular clay is made from aluminum oxide and sand and has a large amount of plasticity. No two clays are alike. Each has its own purpose. The kind of clay that Mr. Frank uses could not be used successfully in making china ware or bricks, Mr. Frank's plant makes earthen ware. He said that the same clay that he is willing to sell to Holland Hall art work-shop for five cents a pound, has a little perfume added at the beauty shop and sells for two dollars and fifty cents a facial pack. We were shown how pottery is made in molds. First the clay is sifted through screens with 1400 holes to the square inch and mixed with water. This combination is called l'slip. The slip must be aged for a week before it is ready for use. The old jug potters said the clay wasn't ready till it stank.'y When suitably aged the slip is poured into plaster of Paris molds, These molds are on a heater. The plaster of Paris absorbs the water which leaves the slip nearest to the plaster of Paris dry. The wet slip is poured out when the drying clay has reached the desired thickness. When completely dry the clay comes loose from the mold. Mr. Frank loses about fifty pieces a day through careless handling or not letting the slip settle to the right thickness. The scraping and washing of the pottery is done by three girls, who finish a thousand pieces a day. There is a girl who puts the glaze on by hand if that is necessary. They grind their own colors. The mold making department is really the brains of the pottery industry. A mold costs anywhere from 55.00 to 5100.00 apiece. A salad bowl is the largest piece they ever tried to make, as this clay is not easily used in making big pieces. It is necessary to make a mold of a mold in case of possible loss or injury to the first. A thousand molds at a time are in use at this factory and there are a thousand more ready for use. When Mr. Frank enlarges his factory, he intends to make three thousand instead of one thousand pieces a day. That means that instead of shipping eight hundred pieces a day, he will ship twenty-four hundred pieces. His business does not show a profit from shipping products to other cities or countries, he says, but he considers it an interesting thing to do. Next we were shown how plates are made. About two pounds of clay are thrown on a plate mold. The mold is then put on a machine called a jigger, which is operated by a ujigger- man. The machine spins around. As it spins, an iron rod shapes the clay on the mold. When the clay is dry, it breaks loose from the mold as a plate. Mr. Frank says there are two other interesting ways to make pottery. The Indians wind their coils of clay into the shape they desire. The second way Mr. Frank demonstrated. He took a hunk of clay to wet it, and put it on a revolving wheel. He put his hand to it in 10 different shapes. Every time he changed the position of his hands the shape of the clay changed. It is really very fascin- ating to watch. The glaze used for firing has to be screened through a screen with 90,000 holes to the square inch. About a square foot of this screening costs 590.00 The glaze is sprayed on in most cases. Before the pottery is fired, blue and green glazes look white. The different combinations of colors, Mr. Frank explained, are tricks of the trade. Firing makes the pottery impervious to water. We were shown the rooms where the kilns are. There are five of them, which are large and hot. A high temperature for pottery is 2400 degrees, the right temperature for earthen ware is 2200 degrees. In an insulated oven it takes six to eight hours for the pottery to become fired. It takes fourteen hours for the kilns to cool. All five go at a time. There are little holes in each that one may look through to see how the pottery is doing. Mr. Frank owns about twenty-seven thousand tons of clay and at a hundred tons a year, it will last a long time. He keeps three thousand gallons of slip stored at a time and with the enlargement -of the factory, he will be able to store five thousand gallons. There are twenty-five people working at Frankoma now. Eight of these are girls. With the expansion of the factory, sixty will work there. Frankoma pottery is a beautiful ware. The industry is one which Oklahoma and the Southwest may well be proud of. VACA'fION SPOTS By Martha Hoke fGrade 93 The Southwest has many alluring vacation spots, a number being within easy reach of Tulsa. One that supplies great variety is Hot Springs, Arkansas. On January 24, at the close of the first semester, Miss McCormack, principal of Holland Hall, and Dean Elizabeth Anderson set out for a short trip to Hot Springs. They stayed at the Park Hotel. The trip down, according to Miss Anderson, was pleasant in spite of two flat tires. On the day following their arrival, they hired saddle horses, packed picnic lunches, and tied them to their saddles. Then they set forth for a picnic and a ride. The weather was grand for just such an outing and both thoroughly enjoyed the ex- perience. The next day was Saturday and Miss Anderson wanted to continue her exploring, She went riding again, but this time minus Miss McCormack. At the foot of one of the mountains she found many warm springs with temperatures ranging approximately from eighty-seven to one hundred and thirty-five degrees. Bath houses have been erected here, for Hot Springs is both a winter resort and a famous spa for invalids. Perhaps because of the hot springs our government selected the place as the location for a huge army and navy hospital. Like New Orleans, Hot Springs has many interesting eating places, Italian, Mexican, etc. Unlike New Orleans, however, it has no French restaurants. Saturday evening, their trip over, our principal and dean returned to Tulsa, thoroughly satisfied, as they had a right to be, with this vacation spot of the Southwest. February, 1946 -- MISS HOLLAND HALL I A STRANGE COINCIDENCE By Kitty Ledbetter fGrade 115 One day last summer I was at the Johnson Stables at Okla- homa City riding with some friends. As we came in from our ride, I saw a horse in the exercise pen. She was the most beauti- ful horse that I have ever seen, tall, graceful, yet masterful. Her head held high, she pranced around the pen as if she owned the world. I fell in love with her the minute I saw her. Immediately I went to Mr. Johnson and asked who owned her. He said that she was the new show mare. I asked her name, and strange coincidence, her registered name was Kitty Diamond. I knew that without a doubt she was to be my horse. I got her halter and went out to the ring. She was even more beautiful than I thought. I stood at the gate for a minute, fascinated by her beauty. When I entered the ring, she immediately noticed me and wanted to play. She advanced slowly, then ran around me in a small circle. I waited for her to stand still. After I talked to her, she stopped, then slowly came to me. She was the only horse that I had ever wanted. We were friends at once. I put the halter on her and walked her out. It made me feel wonderful to be leading her as if she were mine. The next morning I went out to the stables early. I asked Mr.Joihnson if I could ride her a little while. He said that a horse in training should be ridden only by the trainer, but I had his O. K. to ride her if I would watch the trainer long enough to learn the signals he used for her training. I went every morning and sat for hours, listening and watching the trainer. Each day I would brush, groom, and feed her, and when I took her out to graze, she would stay right there by me. Each new day I found I loved her more. She must have sensed it, for she would come trotting the minute I called her name. Every evening for hours I would ride her, at first in the ring, and then out on the bridle path with the other horses. Mr. Long, the trainer, said it was good for her to be around the other horses, just so I held her to her training rules. After we had trained for almost six months, the city sponsored a horse show. Mr. Long asked me if I would like to ride her in the show. The big day camel I got up at six that morning. There was lots to- do. Saddle and bridle had to be saddle-soaped and polished. Her mane and tail had to be braided. She must1 and would be- perfection. All day we worked with Kitty Diamond. We groomed her, fed her, let her graze, and run in the pen. One short work-out was enough to put her in perfect' conditionl' 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 That evening as I dressed for the show, I noticed my hands were steady. That was strange. I had ridden in shows before and had always been nervous, but I wasn't a bit this time. I trusted Kitty Diamond so much. She didn't need a rider, she would win the show by herself. I went to the horse show early to see Kitty Diamond again and when the time came for me to ride her in the ring, she was just as calm as you please, and this was her first show. Her head held high, we entered. She couldn't help outshining the others, for this was her night. We were told to trot, then slow gait, then rack. Kitty's rack was by far the fastest, She didn't need me, for she knew what to do, just needed a little help now and then. At last we were called to the center of the ring. Everyone held his breath, and Kitty Diamond started her career with the top prize. I was so proud of her I nearly cried. They gave me the cup to MISS HOLLAND HALL - February, 1946 keep for her, and she, with her head even higher, trotted out. That night a man and a woman came around and asked whether I wanted to sell my horse. I had to tell them that Kitty wasnlt mine yet, but that I was buying her the next week. They went to Mrs. Stone, Mr. 1ohnson's daughter, who while Mr. Johnson was out of town had charge of the stables. They said they wanted to buy her that night at any price. My father was out of town and wouldn't be back until the following night so there was nothing I could do. Mrs. Stone sold my horse, the horse I had loved and worked with for over six months, the horse I had dreamed of finding all my life I had her for six short months, then she was sold to a man that lived twenty miles from our summer home in Colorado. He was taking her to his ranch, where she wouldn't be showed, but was to be one of his rare breeding mares. The next morning I went back to say goodby to Kitty. They were driving her back in a trailer. When I drove up, they asked if I would mind bringing her out. I took her out. I just had a rope around her neck and she willingly followed me. Then the man took her and started putting her in the trailer. She wouldnyt go. Mr. Long suggested that I put het' in. I went in first and she followed me. They closed the door, said goodby, and started to drive away. I remembered then to ask them if they wanted Kitty's cup, as it was hers really. They said no, I could keep it, then drove away. It was a sad, but strange coincidence that I had found and lost a horse with my name, the only horse that I shall ever really want. SIXTEENTH SUMMER By Mary Alma Porter iGrade 121 It was hot with an even hotter wind and the populace of the city was thoroughly baked. True, some 'sought refuge on the beaches or in the mountains, but the majority remained at home perspiring. The weatherman drily stated that we were enjoying a typical Oklahoma summerf' Typical Oklahoma summer? True, as usual the air was hot and the grass was brown, but somehow this summer was different. It might have been getting the car for the first time, it might have been the gang who could be found at all hours sprawled on Mother's Chippendale chairs, it might have been a hundred little things that made it seem different, but most of all it was just being sixteen. At sixteen I found my little brother even more of a pest and I grewleven taller, yet un- deniably iny sixteenTh suTnmeEiVfz5E remarkable. 7I pgedjie stage of crushes, outgrew the totally unflattering name of Skinny,,' and stopped biting my fingernails. I met Pete, EOD, learning for the first time that there is a feeling between puppy-love and the real thing reserved for boys as well as girls, who are just sixteen. Afternoons weld turn on the victrola, indulge in a series of cokes, sprawl in chairs and read, sometimes Dick Tracy, Edna Ferber, or Zane Grey. In the evening the gang would collect almost automatically, then we'd all swim or go to a show till somehow the whole sum- mer slipped by. As I sat in the train, which puffed and panted as though actually suffering from the September sun, I remembered the weatherman's forecast and, with all due apologies, beg to differ, for I knew that there never had been nor ever would be a summer like this, my Sixteenth Summer. 11 ,,f ,c2.-0-J I EMULATE A COMICS HEROINE By Julia Ann Park fGrade 91 !'Youill shiver as you watch Wfonder Woman, beautiful as Aphrodite, wise as Athena, stronger than Hercules, and swifter than Mercury, outwit the cunning criminal, Paulaf' What a terrific build-up! How exciting it all sounded! After the first chapter, I thought, HI-low can Wonder Woman be so beautiful, so smart, so strong?'7 In the second chapter Wonder Woman had flown in her magic plane to the hiCl90LllC of Paula to try to get some information concerning Steve Travis, her lover. But upon her arrival Paula captured her with a magic lasso and tied her to a chair in front of a machine that would impress a picture of Paula upon her mind thereby mak- ing Wonder Woman her slave. Wonder Woman closed her eyes and would not look at the picture. Her eye-lashes were then pulled up to touch her eye-brows and stuck with adhesive tape. Wonder Woman was compelled to look. I thought that Wonder Woman could have escaped looking by directing her gaze at some other object. I got some ad- hesive tape and fixed my eyes as Wonder Woman's. I found that any way I moved my eyes, I still saw the book I had placed before me. I tried to get the adhesive tape off, but it would not loosen, I called my aunt in the Medical Arts Building and she told me to come to her office. Having arrived, I sneaked up to her ofhce on the sixth floor by way of the back stairs. Heroic measures were needed. She took the scissors and cut as close to my eye-lashes as she could and then tried swabbing my eye-lashes with benzine. I was finally freed from my torture, although I emerged from the ordeal with little stubs of eye-lashes. I have always been curious as to what happened to Wonder Woman. I never learned, for when I reached home, the comic was burning in the incinerator. WHAT A PHOTOGRAPH TOLD By julie Flint CGrade 105 Two summers ago I went to Mexico City with my family to visit some friends. When we arrived, we decided to stay at the hotel because our friends were expecting a seventeen-yearxold nephew as a house-guest. It was all good news to me. I thought, oh, what thrills! I've always liked older boys, and here's my chance. I went to bed that night planning what I should wear and wondering whether this new man of my life would be taller than I. Boys of my town age just donlt grow at my own rate. Next morning I rose, put on my new, dark blue linen, back- less dress with a bolero to match, a white hair-bow, and my blue and white shoes. I stood and looked in the mirror for some time thinking how attractive I looked. Finally the big moment came. I met him! He was both tall and good-looking. I said to myself, My big moment has come. From then on I primped ever so long each time before going out. My satisfaction lasted two years. It wasn't until the other day when I was looking at a picture taken in Mexico City that I saw how I really looked! I had as much avoirdupois as Santa and as for my hair, it looked as if I had just had a new permanent and gone in swimming with it. It was fuzzy to a finish. And oh, goodness, I didnit even wear lip-stick! The bubble had burst, its rosy colors gone. Just the same, I think, I deserve a little credit: I honestly tried to be attractive. 12 STARTING THE NEW YEAR RIGHT By Celia Nesbitt fGrade 107 It was the first school day after New Year's, 1946. Promptly at half past three I was on my way home. As I put forth the last bit of energy I had to crawl up the steps to my home, I found my little sister and her playmates practically tearing up the place. My mother greeted me at the door and gently told me to start my home-work. What a greeting! I had spent an hour on one geometry problem when the telephone rang and a sweet hysterical voice fbelonging to a class-mate who had at length finished her geometryj asked if she might check her answers with mine. I was inviting her to call me back later when my mother again commanded me to do my home-workf, From six to six-ten there was a respite: I gained back some of the energy I had lost on Latin and French by eating a hurried dinner. Then I turned on the radio and went on doing my home-work. Of course Van Johnson and Caesar don't go so well together, but nevertheless .... Finally at one-thirty a. m. I crawled feebly to bed, but not for long! At six a. m. the alarm rang and at six-thirty I was again ready for home-work. At eight-thirty I rushed madly to school and beat the tardy bell to geometry by approximately two seconds. Since I forgot to correct the errors in the preceding day,s work, I got a zero. In English I had failed to write my theme in ink so out came the little pink pad, which I autographed. A similar thing happened in each class. At three-thirty I was again on my way home for more home-work, after completing the second school day of the new year. SWEETHEART ROSES By Eileen Maloney iGrade 121 I shall never forget a certain Valentine!s Day. It seems years and years ago. I was about ten and my one and only love was a handsome little school-mate. My mother remembers to this day the first time I came home from kindergarten and said, l'Mama, thereis a boy in our class whose name is Freddy Six, and thatis his real name, tooli' Freddy and I had loved each other from that day on, for it was not until the seventh grade that I jilted him for someone else. Well, on the memorable Valentineys Day when I was ten, I received my first corsage, beautiful pink sweetheart roses placed among stephanotis. Enclosed was a Valentine greeting card, which read, To Eileen from Fred. What a thrill that was for me and today I can still see in my mind that adorable pink corsage that nestled so close to my heart. I think I shall always inhale its fragrance. VALENTINE'S DAY By Leah Britton fGrade 83 Valentine's Day is coming With its candies and sweets, And hearts dipped in gold, With verses so bold, Secrets foretold, And the grace and lace Of ladies of old. February, 1946 - MISS HOLLAND HALL I THE MAN TO THE GIRL Companion Poems by Rosie Brown fGrade 121 ESTRANGEMENT I saw a white cloud sailing like a ship upon the sea And it reminded me of the day you took your leave of me. I heard a brown thrush singing under a willow tree And it reminded me of you singing a melody. I saw a pool of quiet water reflecting the ancient skies And in it I saw the mystic deep of your clear eyes. Oh, Love, come back, for everything beneath the sun Exists but to remind me that you and I are one. FULFILLMENT I am a lover of sun and rain and Hower, Glad Ilm alive and thankful for each good hour. The sky for my sake arches in heavenly blue, . And I'm thankful for sunrise, and, oh, Iym thankful for you VALENTINE'S DAY TO ME AND TO YOU By Mimi White CGrade 121 Valentine's Day to me and to you Brings memories of love so sweet and true, We picture a girl all dressed in lace And her lover with a smile on his face. They look deep into each other's eyes With a love in them they canit disguise. Though our thoughts sometimes go astray, We think of these two on Valentine's Day. Valentine,s Day to me and to you Brings thoughts of our childhood so tried and trueg We waited and waited for the happy day, When a sweet verse we could give awayg Finally it came with sweet joy from above And with it my sweetheart's symbol of love. Though our thoughts sometimes go astray, We think of our childhood on Valentine,s Day. I FALL IN LOVE By Betty White lGrade 121 I saw him pass me one fine day And as he looked, I looked his way, He's tall and dark andssturdily builq Though many a girl heill try to jilt. Now take Susie with the light brown hair And Jane who's so pretty one has to stare, They saw him pass one fine day, And as he looked, they looked his way. But what became of Susie and Jane? They looked and lost in this old, old game. To love is to be loved,', I've heard say: If so, then Susie or Jane would now be gay. Often I think of that fine day When I saw him pass and look my wayg If lovers, vows are inspired from above, Then Heaven ruled I should fall in love. MISS HOLLAND HALL - February, 1946 I MY OLD-FASHIONED VALENTINE By Martha Hoke fGrade 91 It's a dear old-fashioned valentine With an old-fashioned lady of eight or nine, Her frock of satin, a dainty blue, Her frilly hat of a darker hue. In her little white arms she carries a cat, To the back of her head has slipped her hat, Revealing long hair which golden does shine, And she is my favorite valentine! Although a missive of love it does boast, 'Tis the quaint little girl that I like most, And with this one card I shall never part, For it found its way to a place in my heart! 1946 By Joey Canterbury fGrade 81 January on soaring wings arrives With sound of bells Pealing in the new, ringing out the old, As Auld Lang Syne helps '46 enter, Memories of past acquaintances, and the years of war Are swirling in the minds of all- General MacArthur, Patton, Eisenhower! Roosevelt passes, atomic energy revealed, Surrender! As ,45 leaves us with its history, Cupid appears, fresh, unclad, For '46 is still to us a mystery, Though a happy new year of peace has begun. GUESS WHO! By Eddie May Gregory QGrade 61 The wind roars, the snow-flakes swirl, Around my head the blasts spin and whirl, A lacy pattern is traced on the pane: Youive guessed it-Old Man Winter is back again! MEMORIES OF NEW YEAR'S DAY By Ronda Russell fGrade 81 On New Yearls Day we rest and play, And listen to football loud and gay, We deal gin rummy and perform magic tricks, And gather withrall the city chicks. We play with poker chips and invent games, And feast around the blazing flames. We laugh at bridge and show moving pictures, And take down all the lovely fixtures. So New Year's entrance leaves us tired, As Cupid darts about admired. WINTER By Marie Dickason fGrade 61 Winter! Winter! Winter! Why does everyone crave winter so much? Snowball fights, sledding, skating, skiing, and such jolly fun as winter brings. Most people like winter. Why? Because of the crisp cold air, the cheerfulness within and the jollity without and the laughter mingled with snowballs on the hillside. Give me WINTER! 13 Jfaw Ghaade WE HEAR ABOUT COLLEGE By Julia Ann Park CGrade 97 On January 4, at 1:45 p. m., alumnae home from college for the Christmas holidays spoke at the Holland Hall student assembly and told us about the colleges they are attending. Those speaking were: Joan Kennedy, '43, now a junior at Smith, Nancy Michaels, Helene Lake, and Sally Ann Thomp- son, all of the 1945 Class, and representing Wellesley, North- western, and Pine Manor respectively. In her introductory remarks Miss McCormack told us that it is wise to have applications in several colleges early so that we may have a better chance of being accepted at one of them. Miss McCormack suggested some questions to ask ourselves in ascertaining what college we wish to attend: What do I want to get out of college-marriage, an education, sorority associa- tions, opportunity to meet people, a place on athletic teams, a role in plays, the training for earning a living? Do I want a large college or small, a private college or a state university? Do I need to go to a certain section of the country from the standpoint of health? Is the college I have in mind in or near a city? Is it outstanding? Is it an old college or new? Wfhat equipment has it? What traditions? From what states or countries does it draw students? What endowment has it? What scholarships? Are the instructors men or women? Is the campus attractive? What sports and other activities does the college offer? What courses and fields of study does it oger? Are entrance examinations required? What is the cost per year? In any GOOD college, said Miss McCormack, one may expect to work. The alumnae girls who followed Miss McCormack on the program helped us to answer some of these questions. Joan Kennedy of Smith College told us that Tulsa has sent com- paratively few girls to the 'Qseven collegesf' Barnard, Bryn Mawr, Mt. Holyoke, Radcliffe, Smith, Vassar, Wellesley. Smith has approximately 2200 students and is the largest of the seven. Joan said if you're scared when you go off to college, not to worry because there are as many more just as scared as you. Many objections are raised against the seven colleges for the following reasons: 1. there are so many students that you seem like a name ion a piece of paper and that's all, Z. you can cut classes or neglect home-work, but if you do, you have to cram mercilessly the night before an examination. You are graded largely on the papers you hand in and examinations. But this system makes one more self-reliant. Some complain that people in the East are different, but Joan says that they are very friendly. She thinks it's fun to teach them that we don,t have oil wells in our back yards. Some complain that the work is too hard, but according to Joan it's worth while and the diploma means something. There are about twenty-five freshmen in Joan's house and not more than sixty in any house. On her arrival at Smith Joan was greeted by the house officers and the following two weeks were so carefully planned that no freshman would have time to be in her room alone. There are about four hundred in a class. When a girl comes back from college, you may think How she has changed! But, says Joan, she should have changed: she has found a new world and has made friends that will be valued in later life. She has matured. Probably the advantage of only girls lies in the fact that if men were in 14 classes, the girls would be primping instead of concentrating. Smith is not secluded, however, It is surrounded by men's colleges and the girls have lots of dates. Joan told us in clos- ing that Smith brings constantly such celebrities as Eric Johnson and Madame Chiang Kai Chek to speak. There is a famous speaker every day, whom one may hear if one wishes. A great many scholarships are awarded by Smith. You won't be sorry, says Joan, if you choose Smith or one -of the other seven colleges, Helene Lake, of Northwestern, in an impromptu talk, spoke in behalf of the co-educational university. Helene thinks that men are an advantage because they provoke discussion, of which there is a lot in a university. Men also provide companion- ship. Joan and Helene agree that college is hard work. When you're in classes, you don't get to know your professor, but large classes are divided into quiz sections, which make it easier to become acquainted. In Northwestern there are from 10,000 to 15,000 students with approximately 300 to a class. Nancy Michaels, now at Wellesley, told us of the people one meets at college. Wellesley seems to draw students from all over the world and Nancy's acquaintances include girls from China, Honolulu, and in the States from Kentucky, Maine, and a New York debutante, to mention a few, She knows one girl whose family have a gardener for every flower. Reporters from different newspapers are always coming up to interview Nancy's room-mate, so that Nancy herself is beginning to feel like a celebrity. In the houses at Wellesley there are some rooms for two and some for one person. Nancy doesn't think the class work is too hard--itis just heavy in amount. Her teachers are very sweet, lVlrs. Horton thflildred McAfeej is the president of Wellesley. The campus is just beautiful, Nancy says. We know she must be glad that she won the scholarship to Wellesley. Sally Ann Thompson said she chose Pine Manor, a junior college, because she felt that she was not yet adequately pre- pared for a large college or university. She intends later to transfer. She chose the smaller college for the individual at- tention one gets. The professors are very good and when you're in a small class, they seem to care more about your suc- cess. Pine Manor offers three fields: academic, home-making, and music. Sally is taking the academic course. Barbara Fleming, '45, who arrived for assembly with Jo Anne Splane, also 145, attends Pine Manor and is taking the home-making course. Jo Anne is at the same college. On the Pine Manor campus there are twenty-one houses. Joan Felt, '45, is staying at the French House. One staying at this house may speak only French. A consolation however is that you are served breakfast in bed, Questions from the floor were next in order. We learned that each college has a very complicated social system, whereby one is allowed so many meal cuts a week, so many week-ends away from college a semester, and so many dates a week. In Vffellesley you have the most freedom, being allowed to smoke or go to bed when you please. Pine Manor seems to be most restricted, but maybe that's a good thing. We all feel that this assembly will be very helpful when it is our turn to choose a college. February, 1946 - Miss HOLLAND HALL Park, Janey Porter, and Ruby Jean Webb. Listed for HON- eazea NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY 7 By Helene Lake, 45 Formerly editor of MISS HOLLAND HALL and now on the staff of Northwestern Publications College is without a doubt one of the most wonderful ex- periences any girl can have in her life. When I was a little girl, I used to dream about going to college, meeting new and exciting people, finding different, interesting things to do, having whole new fields of knowledge opened to me, and hav- ing every day bring new opportunities, I wasn't disappointedg thatis what college is and does. Or rather, that is what it can do for you if you pick the right one. By the right one I mean a college that is suited to your tastes and talents. No one should go to a school just because her sister went there or her mother went there or her best friend or because the campus is pretty or the football team is good. The most important thing in picking your school is whether or not it has GOOD courses in the subjects that you are interested in. Then you have to decide on the type of school you want-girls' school or co-educational college, public or private university. When you Find a school that you think you like, be sure to look into all phases of it and be sure that there isnit any one thing that is apt to make you very unhappy or displeased after you get there. Then you are all set and off to a wonderful start. It isn,t really difficult at all to find a school to suit your every want. You have an unlimited supply to choose from. I chose Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, as the place where I wanted to spend my four years in college. Northwestern is a private co-educational university. It is located only about twelve miles from Chicago and has a beau- tiful campus on the shore of Lake Michigan. The city of Evanston is itself a very nice shopping center. Opportunities for recreation and entertainment in and around Chicago are for you get, only limitless. All in all, I find the campus is ideally located. Several people have asked me why I preferred the co-ed school to a girls' school. Having had a sample of both kinds before I entered college, I was sure I preferred the co-ed type. Although I think I reached college I wanted one like class discussion is a girls, school is fine for younger girls, when age, I wanted one with boys and girls both. this for several reasons. For one thing, any apt to be one-sided that contains only girls the female sgnt onghingl ThLpre e of boys adds the male ideas, and you get a clearer picture of the whole. For another thing, girls from a girls' school look on boys as potential dates, and that's about all. When you are in a co-ed school, besides dating the boys, you have a good chance to be friends with them, too - to talk over your classes and courses and compare notes on professors. Sometimes the friendships you form with boys can be more lasting than those with girls. Northwestern has one system here which I think is a fine idea in connection with sororities. Many schools allow fresh- man girls to live in sorority houses, and this way mDSt of them have very few friends outside their own little group. Here all freshman women are required to live in a freshman dorm re- gardless of their afliliation. It tends toward a better campus spirit, less antagonism between the different groups. When a MISS HOLLAND HALL - February, 1946 girl moves into her own sorority house, she has friends not only there, but in every other house on campus, or nearly every one. Classes in college are different from those of high school. No one is there to worry about what you do but yourself. The grades you make will depend on how much work you do. It's all up to you how much you learn-whether you just learn enough to pass or whether you learn all you can in the time you have. Of course, there is such a thing as overdoing it. There is a time to work and a time to play, and anyone who doesnit take time to play is missing a vital part of college life. There is a lot to learn in college that doesn't come out of books. I'm quite an enthusiast about college. I think I'm quite lucky to have found so easily a place I love so much. As I said before, it has turned out to be everything I hoped it would be and more, much more. I only hope that every Holland Hall girl can get just half the pleasure and excitement out of her four years at college as I know I am getting.

When he came home at night, she was always waiting right by the door to greet him. Then Agnes would take his slippers to him, and they would his together in front of the fire. Through their whole lives, they were happy, because they were together. Agnes worshiped Joe, and he always bragged that she was the smartest cocker spaniel in the world. ' LIVES OF GREAT MEN ffrom col. LJ and I went to work on my poem. Hon- estly the way he could think up rhymes was simply superb. We had Washington in the biggest messes and pulled him out in about two lines. Everything was all very legal, I mean I contributed about one line to his eight. It wasn't as if he'd written the whole thing. On Thursday afternoon Miss Brown came up to me. i'Your poem was very nice, Julia, she said. I thanked her very much. As a matter of fact you got an A on it.', Well, boy, was I proud of Homer and me! I mean, really, Bruce Bartlett could never have written an A poem. So you see, people don't really appreciate Homer.

February, 1946 THE YOUNG MAN 'S A FANCY N EYER TURNED, BUT MINE DID By Rosie Brown CGrade 123 Ah life, ah death, aw heck! All my eleven years I had heard the old adage which goes something like this land I quotel: In the spring the young man's fancy finally turns to what a girl has been thinking about all winterf' Or is that the way it goes? Nevertheless, spring was in the air, the birds had come back from Capistrano, the dandelions were springing up in our yard, and, what's more, I was in love. Yes, truly in love with none of this puppy-love stuff for me. I secretly swore my undying devo- tion. And I knew, although he was prob- ably much too shy to say so, that he re- turned my love. It never once occurred to me'thar this handsome man of per- haps twenty had never given me any- thing but a side glance, which immed- iately forced himback with horror. For even though I was my father's favorite daughter fhardly strange because he had only onel, I really was a bit plump. Plump I say because you couldrft call me far, I merely bulgedl ,First let me explain to you that my hero of the moment was not only a Fili- pino but was also a yo-yo instructor. This fact used to give me great satisfac- tion because, as I frequently explained to my mother, he already had a job and a very impressive one at that, and he would be able to support me. Ah yes, life was ' great. I for once had no complaints whatsoever - except one: I had never seen my Filipino smile. My heart fairly ached to see him grin. Later I found myself wishing he hadn't, because when he opened his mouth for theiifirst time, he revealed a head full of gums. It was heartbreaking, no gleaming white teeth, not even a dull one to his credit. Naturally there was nothing left for me to do except roll up my yo-yo, turn my back on Yo-Toy or joy Boy, or what- ever his name was, forever, and shuffle on home. I cried for some time. If I re- member correctly, I kept,it up for three minutes or until Mother announced dinner. So heed my woeful tale and profit by my broken heart. Never, never fall in love with a yo-yo instructor, for ten to one he,ll be toothless. THE TROUBLES OF SYLVESTER RADISH By Kaye Creekmore CGrade 65 ,Twas the clay before Valentineis But poor Sylvester Radish Hadnit selected his valentines And his face looked sorta maddish. Down the village street Raced small Sylvester, Jr. Around the sharp corners In his little prairie schooner. He hopped out of his schooner, But oh me, oh my! Look at the awful prices That soared sky-high. He hummed and he hawed And felt all around, But alas his cash Was not to be found. He rushed to his home With a leap and a bound, And finally returned With the cash safe and sound. He purchased his valentines Five for a penny, And addressed them all To a gal named Jenny. PRIDE BEFORE A FALL By Nancy Jo Canary CGrade 123 I waited so patiently at my front door, I must have been a terrible bore.

They were wearing the new class sweaters of kelly green-kept out of sight till this occasion. Fol- lowing tradition they sang the class song, written hv Nlimi White, and introduced their mascot, Skeeter Beelzehuh. Skeeter, a stuffed kelly green doll, is the product of Sue Martinis handiwork. Against the hack- ground of the drawn stage curtains the long line was eH:ective. The bright sweaters, the song, and Skeeter macle a big hit with the school, V SENIOR PRIVILEGES Following tradition, at their special assembly, the seniors read to the school the list of privileges ac- corded to the Class of 1946, These are as follows: I--Seniors are exempted from wearing the regulation navy blue sweater.

The first of these lectures, on November 2, was Dr. Homer P. Raineyys The Morals of the Atomic Era. Miss McCormack, Holland Hall principal, and Miss Margaret Walker, senior sponsor, accompanied the class to this lecture and to the luncheon following at the Tulsa Club. On January 11, the group heard James L. Wick speak on What's Ahead for America. Miss McCormack, Dean Elizabeth Anderson, and Miss Walker also attended and had luncheon with us at the Junior League Tea Room. On January 25, Louis Anspacher spoke. His subject was Light from the Past on the Futuref, Some of the class were having semester examinations at the time of the lecture, class members who were free attended individually. The Holland Hall girls who attend the Town Hall Lecture Series have the reputation of being the fashion representatives of the teenagers. The whole school for so we are toldl enjoys seeing the seniors dressed for Town Hall, now in smart suits, and now in colorful afternoon dresses. The next Town Hall meeting which the class will attend will be on February 15, when Carlton Smith will speak. ELEVEN TH GRADE NOTES The junior class has just welcomed the tenth member of the class, Mary Anne Harwood, from Wichita, Kansas, where she attended the Wichita High School. We also happily welcomed back Miss Evelyn Sharp, as our class sponsor. We have been working hard on the senior class prophecy, which, following tradition, we are to produce on Class Day. In addition we are planning the commencement dance, which includes devising some money-making projects. Apart from these occupations we have devoted ourselves to our studies and to our scheduled extra-curricular activities. Five of us are taking word study: Jean Ache, Margaret Ann Evans, Mary Louise Hall, Kitty Ledbetter, and Marion Mc- Millin. Marion McMillin is also business manager for publica- tions and keeps the books under Mr. Wassonis supervision. Marilyn Sexton is an active member of the Glee Club and is an eflicient ofiice assistant. Maurine Johnson is in creative writing. Some of the others are taking extra periods of sports. Several of our group are members of Miss Bell's Friday afternoon danc- ing class. Our class president, Margaret Ann Evans, has told us that she plans to give us a luncheon party. This is a social event to which we are all looking forward. 20 TENTH GRADE NOTES With spring and March just around the corner, we are all anticipating our Mardi Gras dance with much excitement. Mardi Gras to be sure falls always on Shrove Tuesday, but we have chosen the preceding Saturday, March Z, as a more con- venient date. Each year our class sponsors the dance. This year we are asking the ninth and eleventh grades to attend. The identity of the queen, chosen from our class, and her court is kept secret till the crowning. Queens from preceding years are Carolyn Crouch in 1944 and Frances McMi11in in 1945. Escorts were in 1944 Paul Hurley and in 1945 T. N. Law, Jr. The assembly room will be gaily decorated with flowing streamers and colored balloons. Refreshments will be served during the intermission. Everyone but the queen and her court will come in carnival costume. Confetti will be flying as the evening progresses. Hours will be from 9:00 till 12:00. Gen- eral chairman of arrangements is Frances McMillin, last year's queen. She is assisted by Miss Marjorie Gustafson, class sponsor. NINTH GRADE NOTES The Class of '49 is not to be outdone at any time, even ait a vacation. During the Christmas holidays five members of the class trotted across the Oklahoma state lines to spend their Christmas vacations in other states. The youngest member of our group, Diana Kirk, went with her mother, Mrs. D. M. Kirk, to Steam Boat Springs, Colorado, where they stayed over Christmas and New Yearls, having loads of fun skiing. Marie Coyle, one of the resident pupils, whose home is in E1 Centro, Colombia, S. A., spent her time Visiting her grandmother in Houston, Texas. Dorothy Lindburg, an- other resident student, went home to St. Louis, Missouri, over the holidays for Christmas with her family. Crossing the state lines of six states was Martha McCabe, who went to Duluth, Minnesota, for Christmas with her family, and then to Minne- apolis for New Yearis. Last but not least fas the saying goesl Mary Lee Mulhall spent Christmas in Sioux City, Iowa, with her parents and grandparents. Back by yearis end she spent a quiet New Yearis Eve at home with two other Holland Hallers, Debby Page and Caroline Clarke. EIGHTH GRADE NOTES Parties and dances at Southern Hills Country Club, Cascia Hall, and the Mayo's Ivory Room filled our holiday season with festivity. With most of our New Yearis resolutions broken by the middle of January, our minds turned to more serious considerations such as semester examinations, for which we studied long and hard. We were excited and proud when we heard about Josephine Davis' new baby brother. He arrived on January 4, 1946. The only other break in our routine is Ann Arnoldis trip to Dallas. Ann with her family started around ten o'clock Friday morning, February 1, and drove down. They returned the fol- lowing Monday. Plans are being made to remodel the eighth grade coat closet. High shelves will be built around three sides for storing magazines. Below shelves may be built in to serve as lockers for the girls, books. Before the third quarter closes, the class as a whole intends to make a trip to Philbrook and to enjoy a spicy Mexican meal at Little Mexico. February, 1946 -- MISS HOLLAND HALL JOANNE WILLIAMS CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY Joanne Williams, of the first grade, has her birthday on Christmas day. This year she celebrated Christmas on December 25, but waited till school reopened to celebrate her birthday. On January 4, at the noon luncheon in her home-room, she treated her class-mates to ice cream and birthday cake. It was a grand welcome back to school. Those who enjoyed Joanne's hospitality were: Judy Adams, Gayle Babcock, Donna Joye Carson, Judy Jo Davis, Elizabeth Diggs, Sallie Evans, Nancy Ferguson, Linda Schoenfeld, Hodgie Shaw, Sandra Spivey, CLAIRE SUE BAGG IS HONORED On Wednesday, January 16, at four oiclock, Diane Jackson entertained with a going away party for Claire Sue Bagg, who was leaving for Kansas City.

Those enjoying Anneis hospitality were: Kitty Lou Coffman, Gayle Goodnough, Carolyn Ann Holmes, Susan Key, Jacque Elaine Lair, Pat 'Flint, Patricia Lawson, Jackie Warren, Ann Wyly, and Sally Zinc. CAROLYN HOLMES GIVES DINNER PARTY On Friday, January 25, Carolyn Holmes was hostess to her class at a dinner and slumber party. Table decorations were of the Valentine motif, a frill of white crepe paper, dotted with red hearts and with narrow red satin ribbon keeping it in place and making an edging around the table. The center-piece was a large red heart-shaped box, on top of which were figures of a boy and a girl. From beneath the cover of the box ex- tended narrow red satin streamers ending at each plate. A tug from these ribbons brought forth favors from the center piece. The ice cream was molded in the form of old fashioned girls dressed in charming long skirts and picture hats. Following the dinner the party dressed in formal gowns and hats in which they watched the four comedies which with full talking effects were fiashed on a screen. Of course there was very little sleep, but then had there been, it would have been unique among slumber parties. It was indeed a party long to be remembered by the fourth grade class. PRIMARY GRADE VISITS SAFEWAY GROCERY On January 8 Mrs. Rinker and members of the first grade spent an hour, from ten to eleven, visiting the Safeway Grocery Store at Fifteenth and Utica. They made a very complete study of shelf arrangements, and of vegetables, fruits, meats, and canned goods for sale. Since their return they have put their knowledge to practical use in constructing and furnishing a grocery store of their own.

On the shelves are herbs, vinegar, soap, and bread. But these supplies are models only and represent the art interests of the children. They sell fruits and vegetables of colored clay, wax eggs, tiny wax milk bottles. On the meat counter are the tiniest possible models of bacon, ham, and strings of sausages. For a lady customer they have a little doll in red, FIRST, SECOND AND THIRD GRADES VISIT WOLFERMAN'S On Friday, February 1, members of the first three grades visited Wolferman's grocery store on Fifteenth Street. A very profitable hour was spent learning how bread is baked, coffee roasted, meats, vegetables, and fruits preserved through refrig- eration. The manager was very helpful in showing the many interesting departments of the store. He was also generous and presented each visitor with a cookie and tangerine. All felt that they had seen a beautiful store and learned a great deal about foods. COMING! WHO? Seventh Grade. WHAT? A thrilling mystery play. WHEN? Monday, February 25, at 2:30. WHERE? Assembly. You can't afford to miss assembly on the above date. A play, End of the Rainbowf' unravels a breath-taking episode, in which the following characters keep you first in laughter, then in suspense. Nancy Lackey as Pat Stuart pulls Marjorie Hale fPeggy Wilsonl into a fatal treasure hunt. Margie's overwhelming curiosity leads them into one entanglement after another. Raoul Phillips fBarbara Branderi, the villain, who defies the slogan, Crime does not pay, is completely dominated by Evelyn Warfield 1Judy Ho1lemanJ, a beautiful and willowy blonde, who is involved in this mystery for the thrills and the money.

Other members of the grade who assist are as follows: Laura Clarke, announcer, Priscilla Carter, in charge of props, Louise Curran, costumes, Cornelia Hall and Barbara Bulkley, publicity and programs, Jeannie Warren, director, and Mrs. E. Kiker, sponsor. This production promises to be the hit of the season. DON'T Miss IT! 2 1 sk gf jf? HOLLAND HALL RESIDENCE By Mary Alma Porter fGrade 123 The ungodly buzz of a bell interrupts our dreams of Van, and we wonder crossly what maniac would be ringing the door bell at this hour, furthermore why someone doesn't answer it. However, possessing a naturally genial nature, we mentally for- give the intruder and with a complacent sigh prepare to re- join Van. Minutes later a second buzz nearly jars us from bed, while at the same instant two vague shapes arrayed in blue and white dash by. Rising on one elbow at this undue commotion, we remember our New Year's revelry with a groan, as we grasp sleepily for an aspirin, then collapsing from this undue exer- tion, we lie there shivering unhappily till gradually the daze clears enough for us to realize live facts: 1-we are no longer at home, Z-in fact, weire back in school, 3-the ungodly racket was the rising bell, 4-the next racket, equally ungodly, was the breakfast bell, 5-the vague shapes rushing by were our eager beavers,', Brown and Bach, tearing down to break- fast. The aspirin begins to take effect and the last thought has several closely associated postscripts: P. S. 1-breakfast means food, P. S. 2-food means Miss Pearl's French toast, and then invariably--3 P. S. 3-this is a vision of the proctor's two checks, as we gallop to the table twenty minutes late. Ar this point all postscripts are interrupted and dropped with a dull thud as by unspoken, but unanimous consent the population of Holland Hall Residence make a mad dash for their middies. With tears in our eyes, we realize that Christmas is over! I l The majority of us here at Oakwold realize that we must face the grim realities of life, the grim realities in this case being: 1-that Rosie WILL play I-Iuba-Huba-I-Iuba fourteen times and with that same rapt expression, Z-that cotton won't shut out Cora Jean's squeals after she talks to Nancy Jog 3- that we must endure that smug expression Sexton gets opening Buzzy's letters when all we enjoy are bills, 4-that the rising bell is a mechanism which can neither be bribed nor strangled. However, there are numerous more cheerful reports and it is these that give us the courage to struggle on: 1-Dottie has 22 been unanimously voted Miss Golden Gloves of '46', and by next spring is expected to be in shape to kayo Joe Louis with ease-take it from one who knows, 2-Kitty got a new car for Christmas and so far has managed by the grace of God and Mary Alma's driving lessons to keep all four fenders, 3-Marilyn has finally straightened out her affairs, and, it will no doubt be of common interest to learn, she's forsaken Dick and Ricky for Buzzy. Ladies and gentlemen, hats off to a great diplomat! 4--Cora Jean, after numerous near-tragedies and days of practice, can now walk from dining-room to library in her high heels. ' Exams are over! In fifty years or so, some one of us with a wilted sense of humor may look back over those two weeks before exams with a slight smile, though I for one shall never be able to laugh at human beings in such stark agony. Rita was seen with a cold towel wrapped around her head, a Spanish book in one hand and an English in the other, distractedly trying to decide which to study. Rosie was excitedly propound- ing her new theory on umemorization of chemistry to some poor sucker, though she was interrupted constantly by Dottie, who having given up the struggle completely was perched on the bed audibly sniifling over True Confessions. All the while Bach, ignoring the general confusion, was patiently ex- plaining American history to Ellen, while Ellen in turn was bewailing the fact that both Bob and are uso cutef' Joan and Kitty were camped outside Miss Anderson's door fwho at this point was helping Maurine with her Spanish, working Sextonis math, and supplying aspirin to the general publicl. A We have lived through it all and are now well started on our second semester. Our ranks are growing. Four new resi- dent students have arrived, We wish to welcome Mary Ann Harwood from Wichita, Kansas, Barbara Bulkley from Okla- homa City, and Martha McCabe and Julia Ann Park fformerly day studentsj as four beaming additions to our great big happy family. February, 1946 - MISS HOLLAND HALL LEGION OF MERIT CITATION GOES TO COLONEL WILSON MISS HOLLAND HALL congratulates Milly and Peggy Wilson for the honor which has come to them in the recent Legion of Merit citation which was awarded their father, Colonel Francis Wilson, U. S. army engineer in the Tulsa district. The award was made on Wednesday, January 9, in Dallas by Brigadier General Edwin H. Marks, southwestern division engineer. The award is for exceptional achievements as district engineer from December, 1942, to September, 1945. The citation reads as follows: Colonel Francis Wilson displayed exceptionally meritor- ious conduct in the performance of outstanding services as district engineer of the Tulsa engineer district. The sound judgment and executive ability shown by Colonel Wilson in organizing the forces of labor, material, and equipment at a time when and in an area where each was most critical, had a marked effect on war production. The accomplishments of the Tulsa engineer district under the supervision of this officer were outstanding. One of the many accomplishments was the construction of the large air- craft modification centers at Oklahoma City and Tulsa, in record time. In the face of a critical labor shortage and the greatest flood on record for that area, beneficial occupancy of these centers was provided within sixty days after construction began and within one hundred days following issuance of con- struction directives. This established a construction record for modification centers which surpassed by far any other Army Air Forces project and resulted in expediting aircraft modifica- tion program at a time when airplanes were needed most on all battle frontsfy PARENTS SPONSOR BRIDGE-TEA On Wednesday, January 30, from 1:30 to 5:00 the ladies of the Holland Hall Parents' Association were hostesses at a bridge-tea given at the school residence, 1900 East Forty-first Street, Mrs. F.

Working with the president are the Sakawa captain and co-captain, Ellen McEwen and Mimi White, and the Wanata captain and co-captain, Eileen Maloney and Rita Pettigrew. The hockey program has aroused intense interest. The iirst Sakawa-Wanata game was played on Friday, February 1, at half past two. Each team was divided into two groups, each of which played half the time. The first teams started bullying at 2:45. Dot Lindburg, center forward, succeeded in getting control of the ball for the Wanatas, and it was quickly raced down to the end zone. The Sakawas were determined to keep the Wanatas from scoring and since this was most easily 'done by moving the ball back up the field, Marion McMillin pro- ceeded to do just that, and dribbled the ball to the Wanatas' 25-yard line. The entire first quarter was played on and be- yond the 25-yard lines. The high spot of the first quarter was the Sakawa goal, which was no good because of a foul made just before the ball passed the goal line. At the end of the first quarter the first teams were replaced by the second teams. Rita Pettigrew and Joey Canterbury were the center forwards, and Joey of the Sakawas got control of the ball. The second quarter was a very exciting period, spiced with many fouls and throw-ins. This too ended before either team was able to score. At the third quarter, which was cut to five minutes because of limited time, the first teams came out on the field again. After enthusiastic goal zone playing had been going on for two minutes, Martha McCabe of the Wanatas and Bee Riley, Sak- awa, found that they were defending the wrong goals. Dot Lindburg managed to evade the entire Sakawa team and score the first goal of the day for the first team Wanatas. The Sak- awas hastily got the ball rolling toward the opposite end of the field. There one of their players, nobody knows who, succeeded in getting the ball past the goal guard and evening the score. The second teams ended the game by playing the last quarter. Again interesting interceptions and dribbles were made, and this time with pleasing results for the Sakawas. Joey Canter- bury made a goal for the Sakawas' second team, which was the only second team score of the day. We all feel that under the enthusiastic direction of Miss Anderson we are going to have a wonderful season of sports. ROSEMARY TRAUGH IS HONORED WITH SURPRISE PARTY Friday, February 1, found four of our resident students bound for Oklahoma City. Barbara Bach left by train. Delma Jo Mason and Rosemary Traugh with their guest, Ruby Webb, of Wichita, took the afternoon plane. Highlight of the holiday was the surprise party which Delma Jo gave for Rosemary on Saturday evening in her home, 809 N. W. 37th Street. About twenty guests enjoyed Delma Jo's hospitality. The honoree was the recipient of many beautiful gifts. 24 ,ffl - 35 rf iff' '3,g,gQf ,ji ? fc at SOCIETY BRIEFS We cannot yet forget all the fun that the holidays brought. Mary Ellen Water's house was full of the Christmas spirit on Christmas Eve. Many of the Holland Hall girls and their dates were present. Later the crowd went to mid-night mass at Christ, the King, Church. Afterwards the crowd gathered again at Mary Ellen's for a mid-night supper. Janey Porter held her annual New Year's Eve party again this year. Mimi and Betty White were seen there with Dick Pringle and Jim Conway celebrating their eighteenth birthday. Jean Ache, Nancy Jo Canary, Eileen Maloney, Sue Martin, Virginia McMillin, and Mary Ellen Waters with John Kauf- man, Jim Teale, Jack Freeze, Joe Lane, Tom Mueller, and Jimmy Robinson were at the bridge tables or dancing. During the holidays several made out-of-town trips. Frances and Marion McMillin visited Margaret Lingenfelter in Okla- homa City. Barbara Riley also hopped on the train for Okla- homa City for a visit with Rosie Brown. A trip planned for December came off the week-end of January 11. Eileen Ma- loney, Mimi and Betty White drove to Lawrence, Kansas, with Mr. and Mrs. O. W. Maloney to visit the Kappas at K. U. The earlier invitation had been canceled by the K. U. author- ities because of flu. The girls enjoyed every minute of the visit and raved about the campus, the parties, and the men that Lawrence had to offer. Holland Hall girls have enjoyed several dances held in the gym at Cascia Hall. On Friday evening, January 11, follow- ing the defeat of Marquette by Cascia in basket-ball, a nickel- odeon dance was held. Nancy Jo Canary, Jim Teale, Sue Martin, Joe Larcher, Rosemary Traugh, John Wetzel, Mary Ellen Waters, Jimmy Robinson, Sally White and John Russell were among those on the dance floor. Again on January 26 Holland Hall girls were to be seen having a wonderful time in the Cascia gym. At Cascia on that Saturday evening were Nancy Jo with Jim Teale, Sue Martin with Bobby Brownell, Barbara Riley with Jimmy Evans, Mary Ellen Waters with Jimmy Robinson, and Sally White with John Russell. Saturday afternoon, January 26, many Holland Hall girls attended the Delta Pi sister party. Sue Martin presided at the entertainment. Other Holland Hall girls seen at bridge tables and drinking cokes were: Jean Ache, Julie Flint, Eileen Maloney, Virginia, Frances, and Marion McMillin, Janey Porter, Mary Ellen Waters, and Betty, Mimi, and Sally White. At the hockey games being played at the Coliseum Holland Hall sports enthusiasts are to be seen, Nancy Jo Canary in a box with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. S. C. Canary, Betty and Mimi White, and Mary Jane Feemster, who are proving to be weekly cheerers for the Tulsa team. On Friday, January 25, a group of close friends attended the exhibit, Holiday on Icef, These included Moe Evans, Janet Felt, Mary Jean Fleeger, Julie Flint, Tish Moran, and Sally White. D The week-end of February 1 saw many small parties of Holland Hall girls ice-skating, attending lectures, going to shows. On Friday evening, February 1, Barbara Bulkley, Marie Coyle, and Julia Ann Park, with Dean Anderson attended the Bird Moviesf' at Horace Mann School. The lecture, l'Bird February, 1946 - MISS HOLLAND ,HALL Magic in Mexico, by O. S. Pettingill, is one of the screen tours presented by the Tulsa and National Audubon Society. On Saturday morning, February 2, Barbara Bulkley, Martha Hoke, Diana Kirk, and Julia Ann Park started promptly at 9:30 for a morning of skating at the Coliseum. Luncheon at Skaggs and the show at the Ritz, Leave Her to Heavenf, com- pleted a fine day. Others lunching at Skaggs and attending the Ritz show were : Pat Davis, Cora Jean Mundy, Tam Dud- ley, Marie Coyle and Martha McCabe. Another group of close friends attended Frontier Galy' at the Orpheum on February 2. These included Moe Evans, Frances and Marion McMillin, Julie Flint, Tish Moran, Sally White, with friends from Central. Following the show the group went as usual to Bob Evans for refreshments. On February 8 Delma Jo Mason and Rosie Traugh went to spend the week-end as guests of Elmera Smith, who had as house-guests Molly Coffeen, Jo Ann Denman, and June Fletcher of Oklahoma City. THE COTILLION CLUB By Debby Page fGrade 97 A Cotillion Club is being formed for the eighth, ninth, and tenth grades at Holland Hall. It will feature many different types of dances. Three dances will take place between now and the summer vacation and the club will be continued next fall. The girls will draw numbers to see who will be the hostesses and the three girls who are hostesses together with Miss Bell, dancing instructor, and the chaperones will plan the program for a given dance. Girls will turn in lists of boys and from the lists boys will be invited. The first dance will be held on February Z2 at the school, 2640 South Birmingham Place, and it will be a George Wash- ington dance. The next will also be held in the school building, on March 29, two days before April Fools' Day. The third and last dance of the season will be held on the tennis court at the school residence, 1900 East Forty-First Street, on May 17. At this last dance each girl will be allowed to ask one girl from another school. Chairman of the committee from the Parents' Association that assists is Mrs. Sam Russell. Serving with her are Mrs. H. C. Arnold, Mrs. W. Bryan, Mrs. George E. Page, and Mrs. Kenneth S. Flint. Everyone is very enthusiastic and we are all looking forward to the dances with great eagerness. RESIDENT STUDENTS HAVE VALENTINE DANCE On Saturday evening, February 16, the Holland Hall resi- dence at 1900 East Forty-First Street will be the scene of a very gay and colorful Valentine's dance. Hours are from nine to twelve. Dancing will be in the ball-room, During inter- missions the recreation rooms and bar on the floor below will be the social center. Dates and stags who have been invited for the twenty-three resident girls come from Oklahoma City, Wichita, O. M. A. at Claremore, and Cascia Hall for the most part. Miss Mary Alma Porter, president of the resident group, will receive. Chaperones for the occasion are Mrs. Stewart Williams, Dean Elizabeth Anderson, Miss Peggy Cassi- dy. Miss Eleanor Hastings McCormack, Principal of Holland Hall, will be a special guest. MISS HOLLAND HALL - February, 1946 MRS. DONALD FEAGIN TO DIRECT HOLLAND HALL PLAY Holland Hall feels itself fortunate in having secured Mrs. Donald R. Feagin to direct the Upper School spring play. The plays under consideration are Sierra's Cradle Song and Romantic Young Ladyi' by the same playwright. The play will be produced on March 15 at the school. Tryouts have been set for the week beginning February 11. Alumnae and other friends will remember Mrs. Feagin as Marjorie Mayo, Holland Hall, '33. She has had interesting experiences since her graduation from prep school. She had her first two years of college at Connecticut, the second two at Erskine in Boston, from which she was graduated. During college days she made a trip to Bermuda. On graduation she visited Honolulu and Mexico City. Her honeymoon was spent in Havana and Nassau. Mrs. Feagin has an interesting young son, John Donald Feagin. Since her marriage Mrs. Feagin has lived in Tulsa except for part of the war years when she lived at Sea Island, Georgia, to be with her husband, who was in the Navy. Mrs. Feagin has taken an enthusiastic part in dramatic ac- tivities. She had courses in dramatics in college. Since then she has appeared repeatedly in plays and has directed plays. Several years ago she directed the Junior League play, Little Black Sambof' In the Junior League play, 'tCinderella, directed by Ellen Eaves Henneke, she carried the role of the Prince. She has appeared in three plays at Tulsa's Little Theatre. In Let Us Be Gayw she took the role of Kitty, in Noel Coward's Design for Livingf' she appeared as Gilda, and in last year's School for Scandal by Sheridan, she was Lady Teazle. Students of Holland Hall are looking forward with eager anticipation to the tryouts and to the production of a spring play. MRS. BEN JARRETT ENTERTAINS SPANISH CLASS On Sunday afternoon, February 3, Mrs. Ben Jarrett of the Holland Hall staff, was at home to members of her Spanish class at her suburban residence on the outskirts of Red Fork. Hours were from 2:30 to 7:00. The afternoon was spent in- formally. The large flock of White Rock chickens proved to be an unusual attraction. Gathering the eggs supplied even more fun. St. Louisan Dottie Lindburg could not wait till the hens left the nests and was reprimanded by an indignant hen with a pecking. Indoors fortune telling was the order of the day, no one else, according to Holland Hall girls, can ap- proach Mr. Ben Jarrett in telling fortunes. Supper was served at 5:00 on bridge tables in front of the fire-place. Barbecued hamburgers cooked at the fire-place supplied the piece de re- sistance. Those enjoying Mr. and Mrs. Jarrettis hospitality were: Carol Bryan, Dottie Lindburg of St. Louis, Marilyn Sexton of Kansas City. Joan Story of Gouverneur, New York, to her great disappointment, was called out of town at the last minute and missed the fun. All voted the Jarretts the very best of hosts. 25 . 'if -- f H-H SCIENCE DEPARTMENT A great deal of interest goes on daily in the science classes of both Upper and Lower School. The reporters for this mag- azine in their reportorial errands through the building see just enough of what goes on to whet the curiosity. Result: an interview with our very quiet, but very keen science teacher, Marion Borden fMrs. Joseph L. Bordenl. Mrs. Borden's academic training and her earlier experience are not without interest. Both Mr. and Mrs. Borden came originally from the East. Mrs. Borden claims Swedesboro, New Jersey, as her native town and she and Mr. Borden grew up in the same general community. Both of them corne from Quaker stock. Mrs. Borden had her secondary schooling at the George School near Newtown, Pennsylvania. Like most Quaker educational institutions, it is very thorough scholastically. Mr. Borden at- tended a local high school, but he got his college degree from Earlham, a Quaker college at Richmond, Indiana. He had his graduate work at the University of Chicago, where he special- ized in geology. Mrs. Borden was graduated from the Uni- versity of Michigan. In her under-graduate work she special- ized in botany, but in her graduate study falso at Michiganj she emphasized zoology. Mrs. Borden has been connected with Holland Hall for the past several years. In the Upper School she has taught chemistry, botany, zoology, and general science. In the Lower School she both directs and teaches. Nature Studyn would be an appropriate title for her courses here. The sixth and seventh grades have been deeply interested in the study of the heavens. They have charted a star map of the outstanding constella- tions. They have studied the general plan of the solar system, the difference between stars and planets, the individual char- acteristics of the nine known planets that revolve around our sun including the last discovered, Pluto, the probable atmos- pheric conditions of each, the possibilities of life on each, the possibilities of human habitation on each. The girls are in- tensely interested in meteors and meteorites, especially since a recent gift of meteoric specimens fto be featured in the fourth issue of MISS HOLLAND HALLJ. The fourth and fifth grades have specialized in the study of fossils. Repeatedly they have studied animal life through films fpurchased two years ago by Holland Hall and suitable for use in a lantern that takes either. film or slidesl. These girls have made countless out-of-door excursions studying our own eight acres of campus, with its open spaces, its deep shade, its ravine and brook, When they do not find animal, bird, reptile, or insect, they devote themselves to making a leaf collection from the many different varieties which Holland Hall boasts. In late February they are to make a trip to Mohawk Park, where they will have ample opportunity for a first-hand study of animal and plant life. In the primary grades recent emphasis has been on birds. Go into the first grade room and you are very likely to see a circle of small girls watching intently the bright pictures in 26 an Audubon bird book, as their instructor, Mrs. Rinker, com- ments or asks questions. The book itself is something unusual, a First edition, brought by a class member, I-Iodgie Shaw. The study of birds is being directed by Mrs. Borden, a bird en- thusiast. One day she brings to these children a robinls nest with blue eggs and on another a tiny hummingbird's nest with two white eggs. On January 31, at ten -o'clock, the class re- ceived an invitation to join Miss McCormack in her oflice to see a very fine painting of a birdis nest, hanging framed on hey wall. This painting was the work of Elizabeth Diggs of the first grade. It represents the integrating of subject matter and the cooperative planning of Mrs. Borden of the Science De- partment and Miss Josephine Beattie of the Art Department. All general science and zoology groups of Upper and Lower School at one time or another study birds. In its 1945 February issue this magazine carried an illustrated article on bird banding. On January 12, a year ago, two mallard ducks were banded at Holland Hall. After the numbered, aluminum bracelet had been fastened around the leg of each with pliers, the birds were released and flew away, to the envy of the biology class looking on. Knowledge of migration routes, breeding grounds, plumage changes, length of life has been added to through bird banding. In this country the first person to use banding was Audubon in 1803. Systematic banding has been done in the United States since 1909 and is now under the Fish and Wild Life Service in Washington, D. C. Reports by finders go in to the Washington office, where the original banding records are kept. In the year that has elapsed since Mrs. Borden's class banded the mallards, no report has come in. Eventually we expect to hear either through bird lover or hunter in some distant section of our country. Mrs. Borden and Mr. Borden are active members of the Tulsa Audubon Society. The society has around fifty mem- bers. Mrs. Borden served as vice-president in 1935-36. Meet- ings are held in the East Branch of the Public Library on Second Street near Birmingham. From October to May there are field trips on alternate Sunday afternoons. These are really family rambles, but only of families interested in birds. Places visited include of course Mohawk Park, and the bluffs near Sand Springs. The latter part of March the group goes to Pawhuska to hear the prairie chickens drum. Before the War they went farther afield-to Spavinaw, Brushy Mountain near the Arkansas border, Grand Lake to see the white cranes and countless other birds. Very popular is the Washington Irving Glen about twenty-five miles to the southwest. This should be a fine trip for a Holland Hall group, says Mrs. Borden. In her science teaching Mrs. Borden has a very simple and a very admirable philosophy. Her object is to get those with whom she studies to open their eyes to the world about them, to enjoy for instance the life that one sees from an open window. February, 1946 - MISS HOLLAND HALL STAFF ORGANIZATION Two years ago the Holland Hall staff members organized a staff club for social and professional purposes. Miss Gladys Neal was president of the organization the first year and Miss Evelyn Sharp was president elect for the second. When it was found that Miss Sharp could not be present for the first semester, Mrs. B. Jarrett was chosen president. Serving with her are Mrs. J. A. Murphy, secretary, Miss Josephine Beattie, treasurer, and Mrs. E. Kiker, program chairman. A very pleasant and interesting occasion was the program meeting of Monday, January 21, at half past seven. Mrs. Kiker made a very clear and comprehensive summary of English require- ments or minimum essentials grade by grade in the Lower School. A guest of honor was Miss Katherine Long, a critic teacher of Stillwater. Miss Long visited classes at Holland Hall on Monday and Tuesday morning and at the staff meet- ing gave suggestions relating to our English course in the Lower School and brought many books suited to the different grades. These were passed around for inspection or borrowed over night when it was desired. Third speaker was Miss Mar- jorie Gustafson of the French Department. She gave an en- thusiastic and very able review of Frederick Bodmer's The Loom of Language. The book, a comprehensive study of several hundred pages, traces the development of language and its place in the school curriculum and in the world. It stresses the importance of each person's being able to speak one language at least besides his own. MIDDLEBURY A Report from the French Department Have you ever asked Miss Gustafson of the Holland Hall French Department how she spent her summer? You will see her face light up with pleasure as she recalls all that Middle- bury means to a student of French. Middlebury, Vermont, is located in the Green Mountains fLes Montagnes Vertesj, some forty miles from Burlington. Here has been established a modern language center with French School, Spanish School, Italian, German, and Russian Schools. The French center has the largest enrollment, three hundred and twenty. If war pre- vents your going over-seas to France, you can well imagine yourself in France by going to Middlebury. No student is admitted who does not pledge himself to speak in class and out, ALWAYS AND EXCLUSIVELY, the French language. Professors, both men and women, are largely native French. There are four or five French-speaking dorms. Miss Gustafson lived in the one known as the chateau. Miss Gustafson carried two courses for credit and audited several others. One of the most popular courses was a methods course. This included a consideration of the short-cut courses employed by our War Department fArmy Specialized Train- ing Programl. Interesting lecturers came to Middlebury, in- cluding Commandant Maillard, who had been both victim and witness to the horrors of the Gestapo prisons of Paris and Buchenwald. There are excursions-many to Lac Champlain. Miss Gus- tafson had a somewhat similar experience at the French House at the University of Wisconsin. No other plan of studying a modern language, thinks Miss Gustafson, provides such a com- bination of pleasure and profit.

L.: 555 ZEEEEEEE 'E 3,55 iiiiii' ii? 'L LATE HOLIDAY NEWS With Christmas come and gone and everyone more or less settled back into her normal routine we're able to look back and appreciate what a gay season it was. Holland Hall grad- uates flocked back to Tulsa from colleges and careers in all parts of the country to take part in the festivities, and wherever you happened to be, you couldn't help meeting old school friends home to celebrate the first peacetime Christmas in many years. Just A Few Among Many .... Home from Pine Manor Jr. College in Wellesley, Massachusetts, to spend the holidays with their parents were Joanne Splane, Sally Thompson, Garalene Vandever, and Joan Felt, all Holland Hall, '45, and all brim- ming over with glowing reports -of their first semester at college. Nancy Michaels, '45, and Gussie Burke, '42, from Wellesley . . . . Helen Westfall and Marian Foster, both from the Class of '44, now at Ward-Belmont .... and both very much ex- cited about flying back to school at the end of their vacation. Joan Kennedy, '43, from Smith did a wonderful job of speech- making at the Seven Colleges Club annual Christmas breakfast. And we all missed Babs Scott, ex-'42, whose family has recently moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico. Babs and Patsy Pape, '42, are now seniors at Smith. Betty Dirickson, '41, and Emily Cordell, '41, who are doing graduate work at Columbia Uni- versity, were able to get back to Tulsa for two weeks, but Pauline Flint, '41, stayed in the East to spend Christmas with some friends from Yale Law School. Margot Lockwood, '41, was able to take a short vacation from International Business Machines to spend Christmas at home, but. she had to leave Margaret Haralson and Jean Curd in New York with a promise to tell them in great detail everything that happened in Tulsa while she was here. THE WANDERING ONES It's pretty hard to keep track of Jeanne Gaskill Mize, '40, these days. She and her husband, Capt. Leroy Mize, now on terminal leave from the Army, have just returned to Tulsa from Colorado Springs, but are soon to depart for Kansas City .... then to Mexico City. Jeanne has had to resign from her job as Secretary-Treasurer of the Alumnae Associa- tion .... and we know she will be missed down in the Cottage. Clare Thompson Riggs, '40, has been in Tulsa recently, but is now in Houston where Jack works for the Pittsburgh Steel Corp ..... house-hunting is Clare's main pursuit, but she re- ports that she's having a good time in spite of it. 28 NEWS OF THE PERMANENT GROUP Holland Hall alums returning to the fold are Janie Bridges, '39, whose family has moved back to Tulsa after spending several years in Indianapolis, and Beverly Rodolf, '41,'who is now back after more than a year in New York. Bev wasn't able to get home last Christmas so she and Janie had a lot of catch- ing up to do as well as much to tell. NEW ADDITIONS The class of 1940 takes a bow this issue, Henry Grady Betts, Jr., and Janet Holliman have joined their ranks. Hank Jr., was born on December 13th'and Janet on January 13th . . . . and in case you don't already know, the parents are Hank and Patsy Fleming Betts .... Joe and Jean Felt Holliman. Joe and Jean and Janet are now in Tulsa, though they are planning to go to Oklahoma City soon, where Joe will start to work with a law firm. Patsy Betts is in Tulsa too, for the present, while Hank is traveling around and about for the Kraft Cheese Co ..... Hank Sr., not Hank Jr. ALUMNAE BRIEFS - Miriam Lashley, '39, is stationed with the Red Cross con- tingent at Dachau, Germany. The Tulsa World shortly after the new year carried a picture of Miriam pinning up Christ- mas trimmings outside the Red Cross Club windows. The Red Cross Club in Dachau is patronized chiefly by American soldiers stationed in Dachau to guard the S. S. troops now prisoners in the barracks they themselves once guarded. Ann Marland, '43, formerly art editor of Eight Acres, now of the University of Oklahoma, had two drawings being displayed at the university in a series of Work of the Month exhibits. Mrs. Frederick Steinway, Mary Kathryn Castle, '42, a for- mer art editor of Eight Acres and at Radcliffe managing editor of the yearbook, has just received her degree from Rad- cliffe on the accelerated plan. She was recently a supper guest with other seniors of the accelerated course in the home of President and Mrs. W. K. Jordan, in Cambridge. Patricia Ann Nero, '45, was recently pledged to Chi Omega sorority at the University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado, where she is a member of the freshman class. February, 1946 - MISS HOLLAND HALL BOOK REVIEW ffrom page Sl At the close of the war he returned to Boston to find that it had undergone extreme changes. Still he was able to earn his living by practicing his trade, for some people had profited by the war and were eager to have silver and other luxuries they had never known before. Paul Revere was also enjoying new experiences. He was going to recast the bell of the Second Church. Of course he knew nothing of bell-making, but that didn't bother him. He went to Aaron Hobart, who had cast the Liberty Bell, and learned all he could about the trade. Then he returned to his own shop and cast his first bell-a horrible, shrieking thing. It was accepted only because it signified that America could learn to be independent of for- eign countries. And Paul Revere was anxious to become a master bell-maker. His son, Joseph Warren Revere, was his apprenticed assistant and together they made about four hun- dred bells. The largest and most famous of these, weighing 2437 pounds, still hangs in King's Chapel, Boston. At the age of sixty Paul Revere enlarged his foundry in order to make for merchant ships and for the navy copper coverings, bolts, and braces. He sent his son to Europe to learn the secret of making the copper alloy. This was a very daring enterprise for a man of that period to undertake, but he had trust in his son's ability to succeed him. During the War of 1812 his copper works proved of tremendous value to the government. Paul Revere must have felt rather queer in his last years. He was already history and his ride to Lexington was a legend, yet he was still living. It was May 10, 1818 when he died. His will. which had been made several years before, provided for the disposal of his fortune, which amounted to S30,000, a very handsome sum for one to accumulate with sixteen children and a naturally generous disposition. As a reference work Miss Forbes, book is invaluable. Her particular field, while limited in scope, had not been covered by other writers. The material presented is authentic and is backed by many positive proofs. The description of the ride to Lexington is colorful, as are the movements of secret societies, political mobs, and Boston colonial society in general. For the most part, however, she has kept her narrative simple, un- adorned, and above all exhaustively accurate. It is not a book for the general public, it could never be a best seller. But it has a distinction which is perhaps as enviable: twenty-live or fifty years from now when many best sellers have passed into oblivion, research students and scholars will be applying to agents of out-of-print books to secure a copy .of Paul Revere and the World He Lived In at the price demanded for rare books. AND SO WE TAKE, ETC. ffrom page 131 THE SEASON OF ADVENTURE By Peggy Wilson fGrade 71 lcicles, frost, snow, and happy faces! That is my idea of winter, the best season in the year! It offers its own sports and games, inside and outside. One can find enjoyment under dark clouds or cold blue skies at this remarkable time of the year. Children favor winter's snow, and while grown-ups are swearing about stalled cars and the falling mercury, the younger set will shout gleefully with prospects of snowball fights and wild rides on their sleds. Perhaps the pond will freeze over and give them a chance to skatel Winter is a challenge to all who enjoy fun and excitement.

WHY THE PRIVATE SCHOOL By Mary jane Feemster, Editor During the time I have spent at Holland Hall, I have become increasingly aware of the many advantages that one gets by going to a private school. This will be my last year at Holland Hall and I am more than grateful for everything that I have gained and learned while going to school here. I have become more and more con- scious of the advantages of the private school as I have talked to students who have attended other schools. I believe that one of the most wonderful advantages of a private school is the closeness of teachers and pupils. Pupils have individual help if they need it. The teachers know each pupil very wellg no pupil is just a name on a grade book. Even the most retiring girl is someone whom the teacher knows and whom she wants to help, particularly if her school work is not all it should be. If the student misses a few days at school for some reason or other, she isnft just left on her own to get her back work in by herself. If the student doesn't understand this back work, the teacher is there to help. If the student has had a long absence, she often can arrange for special help on Saturday morning in the study hall which is held weekly. In this way the girl really masters everything that she missed. In a private school not only does the student get help with her studies, but she finds the teacher ready to help on any young person's problem. Often ai teacher will help a girl decide what to do after she has graduated from preparatory school or after she has finished college. It is often the teacher who stimulates the girl's ambi- tion so that she has the courage to go ahead with her special interest and make some- thing out of it. For example, a girl who has natural talent can be made conscious of her abilities so that she will really work to develop these talents into perfection. If a student is interested in writing, she has opportunity to write for publication. In a small group material from every student is welcomed and encouraged. Another great advantage of thel private school lies in the friendships a girl makes. Because she is going to a small school, she isnit limited to just a few friends in her own class that run around together. She gets to know everyone in school and very often friendships are made that last a life time. Also if two girls become close friends in school, it is very probable that these girls' families will become friends and often these friendships will become extremely close. Another great advantage of the private school is the chance for students to gain poise and self-confidence by appearing before the student body. In small classes everyone is called on and has to get up before the group. Also, in a school like ours at some time during the year nearly every girl has a part in a student assembly. In this way a girl gets used to appearing in front of a group of people and comes to feel at perfect ease. In our school students often take charge of chapel service, not only planning, but also leading the group in hymns and responsive readings. There are many other advantages afforded by the private school-too many to list. I am very glad that I have been able to enjoy these advantages and I shall always cherish the memories of my days at Holland Hall.

The contributions to the library alone are invaluable. Richard Lloyd Jones, owner, editor, and publisher of the Tulsa Tribunei, has given to every secondary school in Tulsa two valuable sets of books on American history, the fifty-volume series, Chronicles of America, and the fifteen volume set, 'ipageant of America. Holland Hall is among the beneficiaries. At the Board of Education Building for the common use of all the schools he has made available films for Fifteen photo-plays to be used in connection with Chronicles of America and stereoptican slides for twenty-four units of study to accompany the Pag- eant of America. The photo-plays, professionally made, rep- resent ten years of research and a cost of one and one-quarter million dollars. These silent movies like the slides are got out by the Yale University Press, The slides have been used ef- fectively both in class-room study and in an assembly patriotic program fFebruary 221 by the Holland Hall twelfth grade American history class. Other gifts to the library include bound volumes of the Reader's Digest from January, 1931, through December, 1944, presented by an anonymous friend. Mrs. O. W. Maloney donated two volumes of the Kansas Historical Collection. These books contain monographs on such interesting topics as The Quivira Villagef, The Sioux Wars, Paul Reveres of the Lawrence Nlassacref' The Populist Party in Kansas. Mrs. George Page has lent the school ten volumes of Smithsonian lectures. M. F. Waters gave a yearis subscription to Arizona Highways.

Each one thought he had a different reason, and yet, they all had the same common reason. The story combines the account of the adventure of climbing with the thoughts and actions of the various members of the group. The novel was written by James Ramsey Ullman and pub- lished in 1945. It was his first novel, also a book of the month. The author was equipped with an excellent background to write an exciting book about mountain climbing. He combined his twin interests, mountain climbing and writing. He had climbed and explored several regions and many times met death in the face. I-Ie spent ten days traveling across the Andes and down the Amazon River. He has climbed Mt. Olympus, the Matter- horn, and the Breakneck on the Hudson, which was the most diHicult. The story takes place in the small village of Kandermatt, Switzerland. In peace Kandermatt was a small resort center, where people came to rest and to enjoy the sport of mountain climbing. It takes place about two years ago when the world was torn and shattered by the menaces of war. Returning from the mission in which he had lost his three closest friends, Martin Ordway's plane crashed over Switzer- land. It so happened he landed near Kandermatt, a village he had known several years before. It was in an exhausted and depressed state of mind that he was found by Andreas Benner, an old Swiss guide and friend. For this reason, he awoke late the next day to find himself in Kandermatt. He was lent some different clothes and had been provided for until he found means of returning. Martin was an audacious and ideal Ameri- can, open hearted and suffering from the pangs of war. Two years ago, Carla Dehn had returned to Kandermatt, where Frau Knubel gave her a job for the sake of old times. She had run away from her husband, because he had joined the Nazi party, and from other vicissitudes of life. She was rather young and still beautiful. She had suffered a great deal and, as unhappy as she was, she had the courage to go on to try to live a normal life. Carla and Stefen, her husband, and Martin had been together in Kandermatt twelve years ago. They had gone on many long climbs, and had spent many Sunday afternoons walking to Radcliff's house for tea. She was exceedingly glad to see Martin again, as he was someone to whom she could talk and whom she could trust, and having been thrown together again, they renewed their faith in human nature. Sharing the dangers of the strenuous climb, they fell in love. Each knew secretly nothing would ever come of it, and neither for a long time dared even to think of it. 10 Radcliff was an English geologist, a writer, and a lecturer. He lived in Kandermatt for two reasons: to collect information concerning the study of geology and to be in a place which was beautiful and peaceful. Here one could almost forget there was a war. Then there was the Frenchman, Paul DeLambre. All his life, he had worked at many vocations. His opulence had given him numerous advantages, and yet he had never been fully contented, had never been really in love, until he met Astrid, whom he later married. He had worked a life time writing a book, which he had come to Kandermatt to finish. DeLambre was always running away from himself, and Kandermatt pre- sented an excellent opportunity to seek the security he had so long desired. Also staying in the Inn, was Heii1, a German not only in blood but in character as well. He was stubborn, dominant, and very autocratic. He had a great deal of pride and an iron will to do anything. Hein had won several medals for climbing and was spending his leave in Kandermatt to climb even more. Andreas had lived his entire life in the village. He was very compassionate, wise, and kind. His father had been one of the very best guides, but had met an undaunted death while trying to climb the Weissturm. The Weissturm, or the White Tower, was a mountain, beautiful and terrible at the same time. Its unscaled heights, consisting of whitish-blue snow and glaciers and its summit rising into what seemed heaven against a horizon of Heecy clouds, rose supreme above the village of Kandermatt. This was all extraordinarily beautiful, so beautiful that everyone wished to climb it, yet the few who had attempted it never had returned, they had seemed to disappear into an unknown mist of cloud. When Martin and Carla had been in Kandermatt before, they along with Stefen had tried to climb the Weissturm, but had failed. The burning desire to reach its peak had never left them. Now that Martin was going to be in Switzerland awhile, he had the opportunity to try again. He had Andreas for a guide, and Carla, but three people could not possibly hope to reach the top. It would take a party of five or six at least. He asked Hein to go, each agreeing to forget the war and to be only two men climbing a mountain together. Andreas was their guide, for he, too, had always wanted to climb be- cause of his father. Delsambre came, because he believed he could find his peace in doing so. Radcliff now would have his chance to forget the world for awhile and gain information also. All appeared to have different reasons, but they all really shared the same reason together. They were running away, trying to forget the reality of the sick world, their private fears and misfortunes. They didn't exactly realize it, but the Weis- sturm symbolized the goal in their lives, toward which everyone was constantly striving, the will to master the unconquerable and to find peace. They were a group of people climbing a mountain together, simply because it was there, because they couldnlt successfully climb it alone. The fact that each shared the others, fears and anxieties brought about a thrilling climax. It came when Hein and Martin were climbing, endlessly and violently to the top. They came to a ridge where there was only a crack wide enough for a man's fingers. Hein reached this and was trying to pull his body upward, when he realized the ledge on which he was holding had given away. All that could be heard was the grasping and scratching of his boot nails. For a minute, he lcontinued on page 325 April, 1946 - ivilss HOLLAND HALL Osxmnxxxxm 111111111 any fra fffo xmmxkumxa Feature Story By Margaret Ann Evans fGrade 117 Jane Newman was in the hurrying throng that turned off Main Street towards the fair grounds, but she was not a part of it. She was perhaps twenty-five and dressed in a deep black. Suddenly she paused in front of All Saints' Church, The door was ajar. She walked into the dark, quiet, and dimly lighted church and dropped down into one of the pews, She rested her arms on the pew ahead of her, yet she didn't seem to pray. From somewhere in the distance the music of a Calliope could still be heard. Suddenly she was a little girl of four again and it was circus day. Jane had been awake since seven o,clOck. It was Saturday and today Mother had promised to take her to the circus. It would be the first circus Jane had ever seen in her life, and she had lain awake most of last night and thought all about it. Jane knew the circus wasnit until late in the afternoon, but she wanted to be sure to be there on time for the opening. She knew exactly what she would wear and wished her mother would hurry and get up. Jane had never known just how long a day could be. Saturday morning seemed as if it would never end. She had tried to play with her dolls, but found herself looking up every five minutes to see what time it was. Her paints, picture books, and even the pet rabbit had failed to keep her attention. Two oiclock finally came, and Mother started to dress Jane. After Jane was dressed, Mother had told her to sit in a chair and stay clean until she could get dressed. In spite of the fact that Mother took forever to dress, they Hnally got to the circus. There Jane saw the big elephants, tigers, lions, bears, and the horses with black and white stripes. of which she had seen so many pictures. It was like a seventh heaven for Jane. All the animals and people, and the cotton candy, popcorn, and pea- nuts, which the elephants like so well, were perfect. Then, they had gone into the big tent for the real show. There the clowns and people on the trapeze had fascinated Jane. There had been more than one ring and something was going on in them all the time. So Jane was busy every minute, so busy, in fact, that she forgot to drink her cherry pop. But the part of the show she liked best came when the seals juggled the red balls on their noses and made their funny noises. That night Jane had monopolized the conversation at the dinner table, trying to tell Daddy every single thing she had seen, and she could have gone on forever if Mother hadn't sent her to bed so soon, this time to dream of beautiful ladies on white horses. The organist of All Saints' Church entered and placed him- self at the organ. As the music pealed forth, Jane was brought back to the present. Since that First circus Jane had grown up, married, and had a little baby girl named Judy. Judy had now passed her fourth birthday. Jane was supposed to have taken Judy to the circus this very day, but Judy would never know what a circus was really like, for Judy had died a month ago when she had fallen off her pony. Today Jane had planned to take Judy to see the elephants, tigers, and above all the seals with their red balls, but the circus had come too late. QCLARKF.. MISS HOLLAND HALL - April, 1946 11 TULSA'S ART MUSEUM By Joyce Jones CGrade 125 Philbrook is the art museum and headquarters of the South- west Art Association. It is located at 2727 South Rockford Road, Tulsa. The building is the former home of Nlr. and Mrs. Waite Phillips, who, in 1939, gave their mansion and the surrounding twenty-three acre gardens to the Association. The massive Italian structure of Philbrook affords much space for displays. There are three floors, six spacious galleries, and the Indian department, which occupies six large rooms. The auditorium seats four hundred, the lecture room accommodates one hundred. There are also classrooms for children, studios for artists, and dark-rooms for photographers. The grounds are beautifully and formally landscaped. The gardens are ap- pealing from the botanical standpoint as well as from the aesthetic. Many rare shrubs and plants may be found at Philbrook. The period rooms at Philbrook are very interesting. These include the French room, the Italian room, the Spanish room, and the eighteenth century American room. The art exhibits at Philbrook are grouped regionally for the most part. The collections contain both permanent and lent paintings. Some exhibits which have been featured are the Latin American, the Spanish, a New Mexico exhibit, Animal Art, Art in Religion, and the oriental rug collection. The early American glass displays are chosen by the Glass Club, whose room is permanently open. The special exhibit for April, 1946, will be '1Man Becomes an Artistf' Philbroolos new painting, l'Spirit of the Indianf' by Thomas Moran, has won nation-wide recognition. It has been borrowed recently by the Chicago Art Institute, the Whitney Museum of Art, and the Brooklyn Museum for major exhibitions, and has been reproduced in national art magazines and exhibition catalogues. Philbrook offers many opportunities to Tulsans. The Sat- urday morning work-shop for young people between six and eighteen years old affords instruction in music appreciation, painting, cartoon and figure drawing, design, handicrafts, modeling, creative writing, conversational Spanish. Classes are organized in the spring and fall and run for ten weeks. Six weeks' courses, meeting five mornings a week, are available in the summer. Adult classes are taught painting, sculpture, costume and commercial design, poetry appreciation, play re- view, conversational Spanish, lace making, weaving, embroidery, household mechanics. These courses are open to members and non-members. The library is always open to members, and the public is welcome on Sundays. 12 1 PHILBROOK'S LILY POND PHILB Tuesday night is lecture night at Philbrook and twice month- ly on Wednesday afternoons lectures are given. Such artists as Thomas Hart Benton have been heard in the lecture series. These are open only to members, who have the privilege also of attending recitals, receptions, and dances which are held there. The organ concerts, open to the public, attract crowds. The Aeolian, two manual organ, is equipped with a player de- vice. In the summer amplified organ music is sent down into the gardens. Philbrook's war program was notable. Red Cross sewing groups, Red Cross Motor Corps, and first aid classes met here regularly. Beginning in February, 1942, servicemen were en- tertained on Sundays by the Philbrook Junior Service Corps. Dances were given on Sunday afternoons between two and six. This program was carried on until January 1, 1946. It is es- timated that 20,000 ofhcers and enlisted men were entertained Bernard Frazier, himself an artist and expert art critic, is director of Philbrook.

In January of this year came the second annual exhibit of the Tulsa Advertising Federation. It is called the Graphic Arts Exhibit. It opened on January 11 and was held over until February 17. You may wonder why an eighth grade student would choose to attend this particular exhibit. Among other reasons is this : I am on the staff of MISS HOLLAND HALL and Eight Acresf, the Holland Hall school year-book. These publications seek ads. I want to know what the advertisers are doing. The first exhibit of the Graphic Arts display was an exhibit arranged by KTUL, one of Tulsa's radio stations. One very appropriate entry was a copy of KTUL magazine, You,re KTULing Me. This magazine is very good in the sense of letting people know about the programs on KTUL. Hawlc's Ice Cream Company had two long tables showing by designs the seven progressive steps in the production and manufacturing of a Christmas mailing price. It certainly must have interested everybody that saw it. The clothing and department stores were well represented. Clarl:e's had some fascinating black and white pages from their 1945 Christmas booklet. Vandever's had several pieces of MISS HOLLAND HALL - April, 1946 beautiful and highly finished art work. The girls in the ads were as beautiful as EsquireU girls except that they were more thoroughly clothed. The Newspaper Printing Corporation exhibit was one of the most interesting. Twelve illustrations showed the pro- gressive steps in the production and manufacture of newspaper pages. There was a picture to illustrate each step: 1-the ad- vertising man laying out the advertisementg 2-the compositor marking up copyg 3-Hthe linotype operator setting typeg 4- the Ludlow Machine operator setting Ludlow typeg 5--the hand compositor laying the border for the ad assemblyg 6-the man pulling proof from the proof pressg 7-mechanical make-up distributing type in page formg 8-stereotyper rolling full page milf from formg 9-the stereotyper removing press plate from the casting boxg 10-the stereotyper shaving and finishing the press plateg 11-the pressman locking the press plate on the press cylinderg 12-the pressman taking papers from the press running 25,000 papers per hour. The Tulsa Litho Company had an absorbing display of different song sheets and magazines. Included was our own Holland Hall catalogue, In view of the very important place of advertising in Ameri- can business today and the important place which commercial art plays in this connection, the Graphic Arts Exhibit at Phil- brook was of real significance. 13 PHILBROOK'S ANTIQUE FURNITURE EXHIBIT By Julia Ann Park fGrade 97 Of Philbrookis many special exhibits, no other has aroused keener interest than the recent Antique Furniture Exhibit. Two bus loads from Holland Hall Upper School attended. The furniture was arranged chronologically on three sides of the exhibit room. In walking from left to right, one would pass from the Colonial to the Federal Period. Mrs. F. O. Larson and Mrs. George E. Page told us about the different pieces as we went around the room. A curious deskevery curious as compared with those of today-is the two-piece desk of 1689. It is an oak desk box which rests on a tavern table, The table itself has an oak base with pine top. This desk belongs to the Pilgrim or Early American Class. An unusual piece was the Chippendale clock presented to General flVlad Anthonyj Wayne. It was made by David Rit- tenhouse in Philadelphia. A Chippendale card table of about 1750 was shown. It had places on the corners for candles and ponds to hold the chips. A curly maple slant top desk was fascinating because of the secret compartment. An early wagon seat was on display. Comparing our mode of travel with than of yesterday, one necessarily prefers the 14 EARLY AMERICAN ROOM A luxurious seats of the modern car to the hard wagon seats of 1790-1820. These Saline Wagon seats when not use on the road, served the family needs on the front porch. In other respects the early traveler was not too comfortable: instead of the weather eye apparatus that the latest automobiles are equipped with, the traveler of yesterday had to take along his foot-warmer. Besides the large Boston rocking chair fca. 184-OD was a small child's rocker. Close at hand on a table was a bowl fashioned out of a knob on a tree. We learned that the reason that the legs were sawed off a child's ladder back chair was a popular belief that every third generation produced a child who was smaller than children usually run in a given family. A little pine cable of the eighteenth century, now in the pos- session of a young Tulsa family, at- tracted much interest. Probably the most interesting piece in the Colonial display was the Lullaby Bench of around 1830-1840. This is a rocker made wide enough so that the mother may sit at one end and do her hand-chores while rocking the baby, who lies perfectly content at the other end on a pillow, To prevent the childis falling out, a guard rail resembling a low chair back, was built on front. The first piece in the Federal Period was the Hepplewhite shield back chair of 1790. A cherry Hepplewhite clock was decorated with a scroll top and finials. This clock illustrates the use of inlay, which was becoming popular about this time. A light cherry secretary showed the long grain wood, also be- coming popular, An original Sheraton secretary with hand blown glass panes and whalebone ivory key holes was equipped with four little drawers, each having a key hole. All four drawers were also controlled by a master lock, An old mailing schedule was pasted on the lid of the desk. No less interesting than these early Colonial and Federal Period pieces, which we have described in some detail, were the exhibit pieces in the Empire and Victorian groups. The ex- hibit aroused in us an appreciation of Fine furniture. Many of the girls' families had lent heirlooms for the two-day exhibit. We all have high hopes of returning for the next special ex- hibit at Philbrook. April, 1946 - MISS HOLLAND HALL INDIAN ART AT PHILBROOK By Martha Jane Hoke iGrade 93 Since we Tulsans live in the Southwest, I think it is im- portant that we should know about the people, customs, and country which surround us. A good way to find out these facts is through art. In fact, Oklahoma has numerous fine artists and many of these are Indians. Tulsa is a fortunate city in many respects, for during its short life, it has received countless gifts. One of the greatest and most lasting is the beautiful art museum, Philbrook, do- nated by Mr. and Mrs. Waite Phillips. Through Philbrook many talented artists have been discovered, Since there is not room to list the multitudes of more famous artists, we have selected three Indian artists, each a representative of a different tribe. We have chosen for discussion also one well known water color painting of each. To me the most interesting of the trio is Archie Blackowl, whose Shield Dance is reproduced on this page. Archie was born a Cheyenne, but when he married Faith Attocknie, a Commanche, the latter tribe hailed him as one of its people, although his own tribe apparently still claimed him because he was inducted afterwards into the famous and exclusive Cheyenne Sun Dance Society. Archie received his schooling at the Fort Sill Indian School, where he later taught arts and crafts. The government chose him for a year of intensive training in mural technique, following which he was one of the artists appointed to mural projects. Then he decorated Riverside Indian School at Anadarko and the gymnasium and new army post cafeteria at Fort Sill. He also illuminated the walls of the ballroom cf Chicago's famed Palmer House Hotel. After this brilliant start, some of his paintings were taken to Europe and Asia where it is said they were exceptionally well received. Archie did work at the Douglas Aircraft Corporation on the swing shift, but still found time for his art. At Philbrook in the summer, he teaches to classes of small boys the sign language, wocdcraft, Indian songs and dances, and subjects pertaining to outdoor life. Last summer, while I took courses at Philbrook, I saw many of Archiels paintings and often saw Archie himself. Once in a while he and his three young children would don their tribal regalia and dance and sing in assembly their native dances and songs. These rare occasions Were treats to Us all. 5 . it I SHIELD DANCE by Blackowl Calvin Larvie is one of the few Sioux Indian artists, and indeed he has many fine pictures to his credit. One of the finest I have seen is his People of the Skyf, Its coloring is very delicate. The four Indians are mounted on blue ponies, while they brandish in their hands pale yellow lightnings. Also very attractive is 'tNavajo Woman on Horsebackf' by Gerald Nailor. This painting contains many tones of red. The pony is a brilliant red, the womanis dress has red, mauve, and other shades derived from red, Not much is known about this artist except that he is a Navajo Indian and is the artist of numerous attractive watercolors. Of course these pictures give only a scant idea of Indian art, but to anyone interested in art, I suggest a trip to Philbrook to see the display of Indian art in the basement corridor.

Judy and Peggy have missed two weeks of school, and are trying to catch up the easiest wayf' Laura-Hi, Judy, Hi, Peggy! Weire surely glad to have you back again. Judy-Thanks, Iim glad to be back. After two weeks in bed, I've finally decided I'd rather go to school. Peggy-Me too, but oh, the catching up! Science class comes next. What have we missed there, Lackey? Judy-fbutting inl What does it matter? Something dry and dull as usual. Nancy Lackey-Well, you're wrong this time, meteors and meteorites are really interesting. Peggy-What are meteorites? Martha-Well, they are rocks that fall from the sky, like these. fpicks up one of the meteorites and hands it to her.j Judy-Do you call these meteorites? They look like plain old rocks to me. Martha-As I was about to say, meteors are masses of stone or metal which fall toward the earth with such great speed that when they hit the earth's atmosphere they burst into flame- Kaye-If there is anything left to reach the earth, it's a meteorite like these. Judy-Where did they come from? Cornelia-Cadijah's father bought them for our school museum. Isn't that wonderful? fThe girls nod, and a murmur rises in such expressions as: Fine Cadijah, Lucky,,' UA life saver in science, Where shall we keep them, etc.j Cadijah-I-le got them from Mr. Nininger, a man in Den- ver, who probably knows more about meteorites than any one else in the world. Judy-But seriously, I want to know where they come from. fGirls look at each other and giggle then reply in a chorusl All-From out of this world! Peggy-Now just what do you mean, from out of this worldw? Why doesn't one of you ubrainsu set us straight? Start all over again, somebody. Nancy Key-Well, Iam no brain childf' but I'll do the best I can. A meteor is sometimes called a 'lshooting star, but itis not a star at all. It's a lump of metal or rock which travels in a path around the sun just as the earth does. Often such a path meets the earth's path, and the rock is drawn into the earth's atmosphere with such speed that the heat of friction makes it catch on fire. Peggy-Friction? How friction? Friction is rubbing- Suzanne-frubbing her fingers over her forearml Yes, rubbing is friction, it makes heat. fAll the girls start rubbing their forearms in like manner, nodding and giggling.j Peggy-aYes, friction makes heat. Louise-Yes, remember those friction burns we used to get going down the playground slides? But it doesn't seem as if the air could get hot enough to burn rock, no matter how much friction. Priscilla-That just shows the terrific speed of the meteor when it hits the earth's atmosphere. Bobby-I just happened to think. What would happen if there weren't an atmosphere to help them burn up? 16 SCIENCE Louise-Our earth would be covered with craters of all sizes, just like the moon is. Since hundreds of meteors are thought to start for the earth daily, weid be mighty uncomfortable even if we could get along without the air, which of course we can't. Bobby-But I still don't see how the rocks got up in the sky. Jean-fsoberlyj I guess nobody can answer that, except that thatis where God made them. Many meteors come from our own solar system, but some of them come from the spaces between the stars. Judy-Well, do any of them ever hit the earth? Chorus--Yes, yes, Meteor Crater+Russia+Greenland- Daddy says, etc. Barbara-Mrs. Borden says museums are full of meteorites of all sizes which have been picked up from all over the earth. The largest weighs 37 tons and was brought from Greenland to a museum in New York. Eddie May-I-laven't you heard about the Meteor Crater in Arizona? Itis near Winslow. That really was sort of fun to study about. Peggy-Where is it? Marie-It's a hole in the desert four-fifths of a mile across and nearly six hundred feet deep. Meteorites large and small have been found by the hundreds for a distance of two and a half miles all around it. Of course most of them have been picked up by now. Eddie May-For a long time scientists thought that a huge meteor or comet head had struck the earth here, and had buried itself in the rocks, just as a ball would if thrown into the mud. They have tried hard to locate the main mass, even to using a core drill, but they can't be sure they have found it. Cadijah-Now scientists think that perhaps the meteor ex- ploded into a million pieces and scattered. At any rate, it left a wonderful hole in the ground. I hope to Hy over it sometime. Barbara-I wonder why they would go to so much trouble to find the big meteorite? Ivlartha--Partly to satisfy everyoneis curiosity, and then too' such a large mass might contain gems and minerals worth a million dollars. fpicks up the largest meteorite with difficulty., This largest one comes from the Meteor Crater. It's made mainly of iron and nickel. See, it weighs almost ten pounds. Peggy-Did that shiny corner come with it? Cornelia-No, that was polished so that a person could see what the inside is like. The outside is too burned-looking to show. Judy-Did anyone see it happen? Jean-If they did, no one knows. Scientists think it hap- pened at least 40,000 years ago. Peggy-Where was this smaller piece picked up? Marie-Mr. I-Ielmerich says it came from Russia, See how much lighter in weight it is for its size? Laura-That reminds me, we haven,t told you about the only big meteor that has been seen to fall. Priscilla-Oh, yes, tell them. That's really interesting. Laura-In the summer of 1908 a Siberian farmer was sitting on his front porch and saw a ball of fire blaze low across the sky. Then he was knocked unconscious by what was thought to be an explosion. Instruments in Germany and England registered earthquakes. Suzanne-It was not until years later that the true story was pieced together. Fifty miles from the farmer,s home were found a flattened and scorched forest, the charred remains of a herd of reindeer, and two hundred small meteor craters. Marie-The largest is only a few hundred feet across. Near April, 1946 - MISS HOLLAND HALL some of them are found stony meteorites melted into the actual rocks. I wonder if the farmer ever knew what knocked him down and destroyed his home. Judy-What would happen if a meteorite should fall out on our hockey field? Kaye-Stupe, all of us would be knocked out just as the farmer was-perhaps, demolished like the reindeer. Eddie May-Isn't it lucky that, so far, the meteorites have landed in deserted places? fBell rings, there is a general bustle to get to class. Judy and Peggy remain to finger the meteorites for a minute, the others leave.j Judy-They really did come from out of this world, didnit they? Peggy-Yes, and thanks to Mr. I-lelmerich we can actually touch and feel them. Curtain. THE POWER OF THE ATOM Excerpts from a Treatise by janey Porter fGrade 121 Because of the destruction wrought by the atomic bomb, countless questions have been asked with reference to the nature of the atom itself. I shall attempt to answer some of these questions. An atom is an infinitesimally small particle, the smallest quantity of an element that enters into chemical combination. It resembles the solar system on a very minute scale. It consists of a dense nucleus positively charged electrically. The nucleus contains almost all the atom's mass and corresponds to the sun. Protons and neutrons make up the nucleus. A proton is a relatively heavy particle which carries an electrical charge of one unit of positive electricity, and a neutron is a heavy un- charged particle whose weight is equal to that of a proton. An electron is a light particle, weighing 1f185Oth as much as a proton, and carries a charge of negative electricity. These negative particles rotate around the nucleus as the planets rotate around the sun. Since atoms are electrically neutral, the toal positive charges of the protons in the nucleus would seem to be balanced by an equal number of negative charges of elec- trons. It was long thought that an atom was indivisible, com- pletely impenetrable. This is not the case. It is the speed of the flying electrons that has made the atom so difiicult of penetration. A strange sounding word heard in connection with atom splitting is Uisotypesf, Isotypes are different forms of the same element, alike in chemical properties, but differing in atomic weight. The nuclei of two isotypes have the same number of protons, but a different number of neutrons. For instance, one type of uranium, known as U-238, has 146 neu- trons in its nucleus and 92 protons, equaling 238. Now if the uranium isotype has only 143 neutrons with the 92 protons, it is known as U-235, which is an explosive isotype. Modern research has proved that nuclei can be altered and actual trans- mutation of elements has been accomplished. In 1919 Lord Rutherford bombarded the nucleus of nitrogen changing it to oxygen. He was the first actually to split the atom, though his transmutations could not be used to produce power. The only thing that can be shot into an atom to disrupt it is the fragment of another atom-proton, neutron, or electron and these must be shot at great speed. If this is achieved and the cohesive forces of the atom overcome, atomic explosion results. In 1936 U-235 was split by adding to its nucleus a slow-moving neutron produced with the aid of a cyclotron, an instrument used to give great speed to charged particles. An enormous MISS HOLLAND HALL - April, 1946 release of energy resulted, but only on a small laboratory scale, for there was a problem of accumulating sufficient quantities of pure U-235. Beginning with 1939 things moved fast. In that year Lise Meitner, an Austrian, interpreted a puzzling reaction to the experiment of a co-worker and started the physicists on their race to split the atom in such a way as to produce power. In 1945 the War Department announced that an artificial element, plutonium, had been produced. It was an end pro- duct of a reaction begun by bombarding U-238 with neutrons derived from the fission of U-235. This new element is easier to set off than U-235 and it is now made in quantity. Atomic fission begins when a stray neutron enters the nucleus of a plutonium atom. The forces inside the nucleus are unbalanced and it splits into two parts. Any neutrons which enter nearby nuclei cause them to split. Chain reaction begins when neutrons from original fission create fission in other nuclei and these in turn produce more neutrons and more fissions until many nuclei in plutonium have split. At this time an enormous atomic explosion occurs. Plutonium and uranium are the only elements likely to produce chain reaction. Questions are asked about radio--activity in connection with atom splitting. Radio-activity is a name given to a type of action in which nuclei of atoms decompose or are decomposed, producing other elements or isotypes and liberating energy. Three types of radiation are given off: alpha particles, and beta and gamma rays. The loss of these particles causes the radio-active elements to change into others elements. The under- standing of radio-activity began in 1896 when Henri Becquerel, a French chemist, discovered that some of his photographic plates were light-struck after lying in a dark drawer near a bit of uranium. July 16, 1945, saw the first trial of the atomic bomb. It was laid in a metal sphere on top of a tower on the wastelands of the Alamogordo Air Base, one hundred and twenty miles southeast of Albuquerque, New Mexico. There were three phases of the explosion: the first was a brilliant light with unearthly heat, secondly, there was a violent pressure wave, and last, there was a continuous roaring sound. Particles Hew 40,000 feet above the ground, and an observer six miles from the tower was reported to have suffered temporary blindness from facing the explosion. Through medical advances alone, atomic energy has already saved more lives than were snuffed out at Hiroshima and Nag- asaki. The thyroid gland, for instance, selectively absorbs compounds containing iodine from the blood. stream. The thyroid disease known as goiter has been treated by introducing into the body compounds containing a radio-active isotype of iodine. Some day the same principle may be used to develop a successful treatment for cancer. In the future atomic energy can do the following things if and when it is ever made fully available to work for man: smashing the atoms in one pound of water would create enough energy no heat one million tons of water from freezing to boil- ing temperatureg a breath of air would operate a powerful air- plane continuously for a year, a handful of snow would heat a large apartment house for a year, the pasteboard in a small railnoad ticket would run a heavy passenger train several times around the globe, a teacup of water would supply the water of a great generating station of 100,000 kilowatns capacity for a year. If atomic energy in matter is made fully available for mechanical use, all other forms of energy such as fuels and explosives would be antiquated. Dams and electrical trans- mission lines would be as out of fashion as stagecoaches. 17 K O W IX ' TULSAS DOMINANT DEPARTMENT STORE 0 FOU Mary Louise Hall, Junior . . .

THE CAR AND I By Frances Mavliuin lGrade 107 Everyone at one time or another learns to drive a car. And I am here to say, that anyone with a few brains and a level head can drive.

My mother and sisters are very willing for me to learn how to drive, probably so they'll have someone else to do the errands for them, but no one wants to teach me. I can't understand it!

The most important point'in getting along with people is to be loud and annoy them, and tell them what you think of them if you don't like them.- Push them around a little bit and make them feel lower than yourself. Never, never give them a. complimentfbut let them shower you with compliments! The most horrible thing you can do is to take them anywhere. Let them chauffeur you around. What's the sense in straining your own self? Another main point in getting along with people is never to al- low them to get a word in edgewise in a conversation. If you abide by these mere hints, you will never have to worry about how you are getting along with others, but if you do otherwise, life will go along pretty hard, so take my advice! LIFE OF A PROCT OR OR IT SI-IOULDN'T HAPPEN TO A DOG By Maryanne Harwood lGrade 113 Who's that girl with the furrowed brow? Who's that girl who says Lights out now? Who's that girl with the circled eyes? Who's that girl who always cries? That's me. I'm the proctor. Every night I make the rounds, Making sure no one has gone off grounds. Every night even after the bell, At me they always scream and yell. That's me. I'm the proctor. If I resolve to give them checks, I find next morn I am a wreck. Laughed .at, screamed at, tortured too, Always the one who's black and blue. That's me. I'm the proctor. Some day no longer a proctor I'll be, When all this will be but a memory, And some poor girl who has no brains, Will find herself in my .old chains. Yes, she'll be thecproctor. But until then, each night and day, I'll make the rounds and fight my way. And though my life is sorrowful, true, Someday I'll be happy, not blue, When you're the proctor. , ws-f, I.. f . .. , er' -fs. . .. .awe ,ffiilwziv ' 'gig' , A ,. -.25-5.5.5155552:fE5E5E555E555EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE5E5E55555E5E555E5555555E5?555???5?55f2?5i5i5i3ifE5Ef5 S4 5 5 ' eww , .1..:.:.:: 5:5s5i25555i' T: ' :':2:1:1I as , 55555: ::2-:':f':'--h,--::: iz: lzzz: -- -' 5 1:'11':' 5 ':'i ' '' '''':':'1:it:Iz'Z':1:::':':::::::::': l :: .. 5 5 4 H I I X W men Y app ..:::f:f' rg ZT' i to make You -.-:-:-:.:.::1:l1 55.,.5.,Q Qzz. .1g- Illl: 5 zii ,,, .Q -- 5 ...ioads of ir ..,, S for yOu on ,.4.g: ,,..':I: X -iffifiifififffffffffffffiffif, FROUGS third Z5fZI5E5EfE:E.,'5f55?f2:2f5E251 Eg EgEg25E5EgEgEQE3E5? -5 X X .11, -11.

Certainly if you wish to know Oklahoma and the Southwest, you will need to make the acquaintance of Sapulpa. Sapulpa is the county seat of Creek County. The early ex- ploration arzd settlement can be dated back as far as 1540, when Spain sent an expedition to discover gold in this territory. But to their surprise and disappointment the explorers reported only land, Indians, winding rivers, and wooded hills. Though Spain claimed the land, it was France that found the rivers- the only highways in the early days-and allowed her citizens to penetrate far inland to trade with the natives. By 1719 La Harpe had trading posts on the Red and Arkansas Rivers, where he exchanged arms, ammunition, and other articles for furs, In 1763 France engaged England in a serious war, known as the French and Indian War, with France about to lose all of her territories in America. To prevent this southwestern land, to which she had given the name, Louisiana, from falling into the hands of the greedy English, she gave it to Spain. Spain accepted the present, although she was already among the land- poor nations of the world and the income from this land was nil. Neither of the two nations had any idea of the oil which lay beneath the soil. When America gained her freedom from England, Spain still owned Louisiana fas this whole country west of the Missis- sippi from Canada to New Orleans was calledj . Then came the Napoleonic Wars in Europe. By a deal with a Spanish prince Napoleon acquired Louisiana for France. Since Napoleon might interfere with our free use of the lower Mississippi, Pres- ident Jefferson in 1803 secured all of this land for us in what is known as the Louisiana Purchase. The settlement which was to become Sapulpa was an American town. It was in 1879 that one Sam Brown opened a store where a trading post, established in the vicinity of the present town site before the Civil War, had been abandoned. The store was housed in a log building. The various articles for sale were exposed to view on the shelves of the store. Here the Indians came with money, furs, skins, or farm products to obtain that which they desired, particularly beads, buttons, elk teeth, gay calico, and bright colored shirts and vests. Everything from pins to farm tools could be purchased at Samis and the prices were determined by the ability of the purchaser to pay. Not far away lived a family of Indians named Sapulpa. By the treaty of 1866 the Creek Indians had given a right-of-way to railroads, and in 1886 the Frisco Railroad reached the site of the present city of Sapulpa. The name of the terminus was not decided upon, but the railroad men called the end of the line Sapulpa because it was there that they boarded with the Indian family named Sapulpa. In 1889 a postodice, given the name Sapulpa, was established in a one-room shack on the bank of Rock Creek, a mile from the present business section of the city. A portion of the mail came in on the train, but the greater part came through the Sac and Fox Agency and was brought on horse-back to the village. The coming of the mail was a gala event. Everyone went to the postol'Iice to await the distribution just in case there should be a letter addressed to 20 him. The fact that a person received no mail was quite beside the point, to ask for it was the thing to do. Many things came by mail which could not be bought in the stores of the town. The ladies ordered laces and frills, and once an order had been sent, they attended the postal function with added interest. That same year, a telegraph oflice was established providing additional connection with the outside world. The need for a permanent oflicer to keep order and arrest Indians or whites who had consumed too much vanilla extract fone of the most popular consumed commoditiesj, was of the greatest im- portance. The outlaws at that time, the Dalton and Jennings gangs, entered the town frequently to carry out their enter- prises. There was a general unspoken understanding that so long as the people in the town did not betray them, they would not rob the town. Their important job was train robbery. The outlaws didnlt harm the people of the town, though the ladies did stay behind locked doors. With the coming of the railroad, businesses of many kinds sprang up. Ranches were established along Polecat Creek, a logging camp was established, the creek bottoms had many walnut trees which would make excellent lumber. The first hotel was the Goumay Hotel, established in 1889. When in 1891 Elizabeth Bonnet was brought to Sapulpa to work in the second hotel, The Frisco, she met M. Sapulpa. In 1893 they were married and lived in a log cabin on what is now South Hickory Street. The Sapulpa family, who owned much of the town site, held as one of their greatest assets an excellent well, from which they drew clear, cold, sparkling water. To this well came the people of the country, including the outlaws, to ask of the young wife a gourd of this excellent water. Before 1898 the merchants had not been able legally to own the lots upon which their business buildings and homes were built. The purchase of lots in the towns of the Creek Nation was made possible by the Curtis Act of 1898. The deed to every lot bore the signature of P. Porter, chief of the Creeks, and some member of the Dawes Commission. Settlers began coming to Sapulpa, many from the South. From 1886 on Sapulpa had been a railroad town. It was to become an oil town. The oil boom in 1905 at Glenpool some eight miles east of Sapulpa brought more settlers. They chose this town because it was the nearest town to the oil. Today Sapulpa is a town of approximately 17,000. Each year many new residents are attracted to the city because of its industrial opportunities. Sapulpa has located at the east and north edges of the city two of the leading glass factories of the world, the Bartlett Collins Glass Factory and the Liberty Glass Company. At the southeastern edge of Sapulpa is the Sapulpa Brick and Tile Company. Two miles north of Sapulpa is the Frankoma Pottery Plant, the only pottery plant of the South- west. Sapulpa is called the Crossroads of Americaf' Located at the junction of U. S. Highways 66 and 75, two of the major arterial highways of the continent, it is in fact at the cross- roads of the nation. Sapulpa is one of the most desirable small cities in which to live, with good schools, Hfteen beautiful churches, two fine hotels, high grade stores, attractive residential sections, and wide shady streets. It is second to no town of its size. It is large enough to have the advantages of a city, and small enough to have the friendliness of a small town. April, 1946 - MISS HOLLAND HALL I THE GREAT SALT PLAIN By Milly Wilson fGrade 95 I think that the Great Salt Plain is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen in all my life. The plain is in northern Oklahoma near Enid, and covers about fourteen square miles. It is one of the remarkable phenomena of nature. It has been there for thousands of years and will be there for many thou- sands more. The salt is brought from beyond the Rockies by underground streams and it all comes to the surface there. This endless supply was a life-saver to the early explorers and Indians, who had to have salt and yet were so far from the ocean. It was the Great Salt Plains Dam project that had brought my father, an army engineer, to this vicinity. More than once we occupied a house near the dam. While not on the Salt Plain itself, we were not many miles away. From the first we had heard fascinating stories about the plain. There are many Indian legends about it and the early explorers had written strange tales concerning it too. I had heard about its treacherous quicksands and knew that while the army was using the plain for bombing practice, a plane crashed into some quicksand, and so far as I have heard, it was never recovered. Since I had heard all this and since practically every time I turned around, I saw tantalizing white glimpses of the plain in the distance, I naturally was dying to see it. At last we made the trip. All the way there, we could barely see it. It looked very much as though some giant had sprinkled Hour over a huge area in the middle of rolling green plains and dusty country roads. Once we were on the Salt Plain, we had to get out of the car and simply look. It was the whitest, the Hattest, and the most glaring thing I've ever seen. It was also the most barren place imaginable. Nothing was able to withstand the salt. Even the large steel fragments of the bombs were so corroded that they crumbled when touched. The only un- harmed things were countless pieces of glass on the edge of the plain, which were reminders of many garbage dumps and they sparkled in the sun like millions of diamonds. The ground was soft, but there was a thin, crisp layer of salt over everything. The sky even seemed to have a different color at the horizon. The complete emptiness gave me a strange feeling of unlimited freedom and independence. How- ever, all things have to end, and soon we had to go back. I think that the Great Salt Plain is one of the most inter- esting places I've ever seen in Oklahoma and I'd love to go back there again, because although it is really not very large, it seems endless. One could never grow tired of it. OBSERVATIONS By Frances McMillin lGrade 101 If you are interested in observing people from different walks in life, ride the bus. The other day I got on a bus to go home from town. The bus was crowded, as it often is around five oiclock, and I had to stand up. As I was looking around, my eyes fell on two women, both as it happened sitting near the front. They were so utterly different in appearance that they startled me. The lady near me, whom I confess I couldn't keep my eyes off, was very complete and stylish in her dress. She wore a black dress covered by a short fox jacket. On her feet were high-heeled low cut black shoes. Nylons covered her well MISS HOLLAND HALL - April, 1946 . shaped legs. She wore her hair piled forward on her head in a big bunch of curls. Her hair was brown and each curl seemed perfect in its shape. She wore a black box hat on the back of her head. Two black streamers hung from the hat. Her face was done perfectly. She had just the right amount of powder on to make her complexion look smooth and soft. Her rouge blended with her powder so that she looked as though she had rosy cheeks. Her eyes were a pale blue framed by eyelashes curled to make them long. Her lipstick was perfectly applied, as though done by an artist. She had well shaped lips-not too thick, and not too thin. As I looked at her, she seemed beautiful, and yet at the same time I was wondering what she would look like if she took off her makeup. Sitting next to this woman was a large girl of about nine- teen. She had short, taffy colored hair. It looked wind blown, as though it hadn't been combed since the first morning's brushing. Her complexion was coarse, as though she worked out of doors a great deal. She wore no lipstick, and her lips were a pale pink color. She wore only a cheap print dress, covered by a beige winter coat. On her legs she wore cotton hose, and covering her feet were black low-heeled working shoes. Although this girl's other features were very ordinary, she had exquisite eyes. They seemed to be filled and running over with kindness. They were laughing and shining as she looked down at the most precious thing she owned-a little boy around four years old, sitting on her lap. The little boy was far from plain. He had big brown eyes that seemed to laugh as his mother's did. He had a head of beautiful brown hair and his complexion was dotted with freckles left over from the summer before, Before we had gone far, he had made friends with everyone on the bus and was amusing them with stunts. Suddenly, I don't know why, I looked at the other lady- the well dressed one-and I saw a look of contempt in her eyes as she watched the little boy playing. I don't know the lives of either woman, perhaps I am wrong in saying this, but suddenly as I looked at those two women, I knew which one was the lucky one. The well-dressed one perhaps had a handsome husband, money, everything anyone could ask for, but the ordinary girl had something more. For the ordinary girl had happiness in her eyes and a little boy on her lap. BEAUTY TO ME By Bee Riley fGrade 123 Beauty to me is Autumn: the golden-red leaves that fall in heaps from leafy trees, the warm breeze with its chilly edges that whistles throughout the live-long day. Beauty to me is Winter: the bare trees that hold a beauty of their own, the sky that looks as one big pearl, the snow that falls in lofts and clings to barren fields, the still cold air that seems to crackle in your ears, the short days drawn to an end by the black mask of night. Beauty is Spring: the young tender flowers that push their heads into the new year, the rose with its deep rich glow, its fragrance that no perfume can imitate, the birds with happy songs, the rains that leave all earth with a mark of freshness. Beauty is Summer: quietness and peacefulness, the rippling brooks and streams so cool, the evening stars that dare to glitter in the sky, the sun that sets bo- underline this glowing world. 21 ' 4' f .ff ADVENTURES IN A SAIL BOAT By Maryanne Harwood fGrade 117 I love to sail. That is, I love to sail now. Although my first experience at sailing was not quite so enjoyable, it was nevertheless exciting and thrilling. Having always pictured sailing as gliding swiftly and smooth- ly over a clear blue lake, I was rather unprepared for my little adventure. To begin with the lake was a murky gray, broken up into choppy little waves which seemed to be baring their teeth at me, but which were in reality only covered with foam. There was somewhat of a stiff breeze, and everybody seemed to be slightly excited but me. I thought that the best skipper was sailing the boat for my benefit, not because of the weather. After the boat was 'lriggedf' a term I learned later, the skipper maneuvered her slim white bow into the wind. At once the great sail was filled with the breeze and we were travel- ing, not gliding, at a swift pace across the lake. The boat was tilted at a crazy angle, which at first rather alarmed me. Sit- ting on the high side, I soon became accustomed to it and be- gan to enjoy the wind rushing through my hair and the light spray of water which every few minutes touched my face. My pleasure, however, was not to last for long. The skipper soon shouted the crazy phrase, Coming about. Not noticing the others ducking their heads, I narrowly escaped being knocked out of the boat as the heavy boom swung to the other side. About this time I realized that I was sitting on the low side of the boat, and hanging on to the other side for dear life. Not only was I dissatisfied with my awkward position, but I soon found that on this side the waves were playing a funny little game of sneaking up on me and getting me drenched. We came about several times more, and when we were tied again at the dock, I felt like a quite experienced seaman, having successfully learned to duck the boom. As I looked at my drenched self 'in the mirror later on and saw my beautiful sunburn, I realized that I had had a wonderful time sailing and could hardly wait to go again. AMATEUR GARDENING By Jane Marshall fGrade 81 As I was glancing through a magazine, I noticed an adver- tisement that read something like this: Plant a victory garden and eat this winter.', Immediately visions of large, luscious tomatoes, tender green beans, and rows of canned goods popped into my head. What fun it would be to eat vegetables and fruits that I had raised myself! I rushed to the store, bought a dozen or more packages of seeds, and returned home exultantly. After marking off a small section of the yard, I set to work removing the grass and weeds. Having accomplished this, I planted the seeds in neat little rows and watered the garden. This work took me all afternoon and I tumbled into bed that night dreaming of watermelons and cucumbers. Bright and early the next morning I hurried outside to see if anything had come up, but it looked just as it had the night before, a little muddy and desolate. About a week or so later after having pulled baskets of weeds and still seeing none of the vegetables sprout, I began to wonder if the birds and insects had eaten all the seeds. Finally one morning I noticed a few scattered shoots coming up and within two weeks I had a small scattering of plants. But I am afraid the effort I put forth to make my garden a success proved futile, because all it ever produced was a few shriveled carrots, countless weeds, and a rather high water bill. 22 HORSE SENSE By Nancy Lackey fGrade 75 My home is two miles out of Bixby on a farm. One very hot afternoon in the summer I was planning to go for a ride in the woods, so saddling my horse I galloped off. I don't remember exactly how long I rode, whether it was two or three hours, but when I turned to go back, I couldn't seem to find a way out. I tried and tried, but I didn't get anywhere. I be- gan to feel very much discouraged, so I unsaddled my horse and tied him to a tree, so I could gather my senses and give my horse a rest. Then almost at sunset I became desperate! I saddled my horse and just for an instant I put the reins on my horse's neck. Feeling he was free, he began walking. I was very much surprised. just as I started to stop him, I thought Maybe he's going home. I let him have his head. Then suddenly I saw a barn. How relieved I felt! That evening as I put my horse to bed, I gave him twice as many oats as usual. THE STORY OF MY HORSE By Anne Wolfe 1Grade SJ I have had my horse since I was five years old. When she was two years old, we began to ride her. I fed her oats and other grains, but in summer she ate grass most of the time. She had salt licks all over the place. She likes them very much. My brother rides her very fast. I do not ride her quite so fast, but I ride her at a gallop. I named my horse Babe and everybody else gave her other names. But she came to Babe before she came to what others called her, so that is her name. We went to California and when we came back, everybody was afraid to ride her at first. Daddy would not have been afraid, but he was over-seas. So I rode her and she did not throw me. Then my brother rode her and she did not throw him either. And that is the life of my horse up to now. TONY By Susan Key fGrade 45 My story starts when mother looked at the ads in the paper one day and saw that there was a dog for sale. Mother said that we could go to see it. We did and we bought it. We named it Tony. Tony had black and white spots on his back. I fed him often and my brother and sister fed him too. He would jump up on me when I went home from school. One day we went swimming and left Tony in the car. He got out of the car and some people saw him get on a bus. I never saw him again. AN ANTIQUE SHOW By Susan Key QGrade 41 On Thursday evening, February 28, I attended the exhibit of antiques on display at Philbrook Art Museum. I saw a clock made for General Anthony Wayne. Mr. Rittenhouse made it. It is very valuable because he made seventy-five clocks only and very few were found. The furniture started with that the Pilgrims made. Many pieces were over two hundred years old. These were plain, as there were not many tools then. Next came the fancier furni- ture of the colonies. After the United States began, eagles were used on the furniture. This was called the Federal Period. Then came Victorian furniture, which was made like French furniture with carvings of roses and other designs. I saw a lullaby bench, which was on rockers with a rail on half the seat to keep the baby from falling out. April, 1946 - MISS HOLLAND HALL THE VIOLET The The I THE FIRST ROBIN By Rosie Brown fGrade 123 first shy song of the robin, first faint breath of spring, Thus your love approached my heart As soft as the touch of a wing. But ah! you lay in waiting, The gates were jarred apart, And then you stormed like a winter wind And rushed into my heart. You stormed the gates and captured me And claimed me heart and soul, And oh, I am not sorry You attained unto your goal. When April sends her perfumed breath To welcome spring again, I dream of castles stormed and lost And feel that old sweet pain. SPRING POSIES By Suzanne Lindsay CGrade 63 Flowers are blooming here and there, Lillies white and roses fair, Violets peeping through the grass, Gladdening the hearts of all who pass.

IT'S SPRING AT LAST By Ronda- Russell iGrade 87 The winter snows have gone, The March winds have come and passed, All the shrubs have budded: It's spring at last. The violets are all in bloom, The jonquils and tulips are here, The hills are aglow with redbud trees, It's spring at last. The fruit trees are a mass of blossoms, The robins and redbirds are nesting once The chill of winter has gone: Itis spring at last. SPRING By Pat Davis fGrade 83 Spring! Spring! Spring! Birds and bees are on the wing, And flowers and trees are budding out: Letis join the throng and shout! Spring! Spring! Spring! SPRING FLOWERS By Marie Dickason fGrade 61 jonquils, tulips, and daisies gay, Brightening all on Easter Day, again With pansies, roses, and lillies too Making Easter happy for you! SPRING SONG By Martha Canterbury fGrade 61 Spring is here, The gayest time of all the year. The birds are chirping Loud and long, Singing their favorite Easter song. RAGGEDY ANN By Patricia Lawson fGrade 51 I received as a gift a Raggedy Ann doll, Her dress is blue, her hair is red, She is sweet and soft as a cotton ball And at nights I like to take her in bed. ALONG THE FENCNE By Barbara Bulkley iGrade 75 March is here, The birds I hear, Gay little flowers Are peeping near. The flowering quince, The jonquils tense Brighten the yard Along the fence. RIP-ROARING MARCH By Judy Holleman iGrade 7l The saying goes, I,ve heard, That March comes in like a lion And flutters out like a bird Or bounces out like a fluffy white lamb, But the people who live down here Can tell you it's all a sham: March comes in, the wind aroarg The longer it stays, it blows the more. MISS HOLLAND HALL - April, 1946 EASTER By Ann Bailliere CGrade 83 At Easter time with its meaning dear People gather from far and near The joyous Easter songs to hear.

Our class hostesses for this dance were Joey Canterbury, Pattie Chapman, Josephine Davis, Jane Marshall, and Barbara McGill. We are looking forward to the second dance, which is to be held March 29. The group under the leadership of Miss Beattie, art in- structor, visited Philbrook on March 14. We saw a large collection of abstract paintings dating from 1910 to 1940. The class donated two Red Cross boxes filled with toys and educational tools to go to needy European children. These were sent on March 15. A newcomer to the eighth grade on February 19 was Sally Teale, whose mother, Mrs. H. E. Teale, is an alumna of Holland Hall. We were very proud of Sally in the Ice Trava- ganza at the Coliseum on March 1, Z, and 3. March 4 was a wonderful day for Josephine Davis and Ann Arnold because it marked the girls' birthdays. The event was celebrated with a luncheon in the home-room. A beautiful cake was served by Josephine. The eighth grade, fifteen in all, soon will complete an en- joyable year and most of us are planning to return here next year. Happy Easter! NINTH GRADE NOTES During the third quarter the ninth grade has given consid- erable time to mastering the Latin subjunctive so as to begin Caesar at the new quarter. We plan as a group project for the fourth quarter a trip to the court house, where we shall attend a jury trial. The trip to Claremore on Tuesday evenings forthe dancing classes at O.M.A., the Cotillion Club dances at school, and week-end parties at the Ritz provide recreation. One of the pleasantest social occasions was the birthday party held at noon of March Z5 in our home-room in honor of Nlartha Hoke and Diana Kirk, whose birthdays fall on the same day. We think our skit at Freak Day was not so bad. We had an Upper School Teachers' Meeting. The cast was as follows: Katty White, Miss Anderson lpresidingjg Martha McCabe, Mrs. Dixon fwho answers Miss McCormack's long distance call from Chicagojg Margaret Ann Graham, Miss Walker, Debbie Page, Miss Craig, Diana Kirk, Miss Gustafson, Ginny Ruprecht, Miss Sharp, Marie Coyle, Mrs. Bordeng Martha Hoke, Miss Seidemang Carol Bryan, Mrs. Gibbsg Julia Park, Mrs. Key, Caroline Clarke, Miss Beattieg Mary Lee Mulhall, Mis. Pischelg Milly Wilson, Mrs. Kiker. 24 TEN TH GRADE NOTES What oh's and ah's when the identity of our lovely Mardi Gras queen was announced at the dance sponsored by our class on March Z. Celia Nesbitt as queen was very striking in a fluffy white evening dress and a crown of white carnations. The attendants, Margaret Ann Evans and Virginia Ruprecht were lovely in pink. King of the dance was Sam Hulse, Jr., escorts were Jack Smith and Warren Butler. Crown bearer was Diane Jackson, a member of Holland Hall's second grade, who was charming in a white party frock. On March 15 the whole school helped celebrate the birth- day of a tenth grade student, Tish Moran. This is an annual event to which everybody looks forward. Each year Tish pre- sides at the cutting of a great tiered cake, beautifully decorated. Even those at the diet table eat to their hearts, content. The cake this year was white with pink rosebuds. Served with it were ice cream sticks. Tish's birthday really falls on St. Patrick's Day, but since the date fell on Sunday, she decided to let us help celebrate on Friday. We were very glad of her decision. ELEVENTH GRADE NOTES The junior class has been very busy in the social line these past few weeks. Kitty Ledbetter, Marion McMillin, Jean Ache, Mo Evans, Pat O'Shea, and Mary Louise Hall were all seen at the Ice Travaganza on the evening of March 3. Kitty, Marion, Mo, Mary Louise, and Maurine Johnson had a hilari- ous time at the play, Dear Ruth, staged at Convention Hall on March 19. Kitty and Maurine took in the Cincinnati Symphony, which was one of the March bookings at Con- vention Hall. Marilyn Sexton visited Rosie Brown in Okla- homa City the week-end of March 15. The girls took in the horse show. The same week-end Kitty Ledbetter had as house- guests in Oklahoma City Maryanne Harwood, Marion McMillin, and Mo Evans. Our class projects in recent weeks have included filling two boxes for the Red Cross donation to European children and putting the finishing touches on our Prophecy for Senior Class Day. TWELFTH GRADE NOTES Town Hall lecture days give a pleasant variety to the sen- iors' school routine. March 1 was one of the popular days. John Mason Brown, critic, spoke at the Ritz Theatre on Plays, Motion Pictures, and Books. The lecture was stimulating as well as entertaining and amusing. Following the lecture the eighteen seniors, Dean Anderson, Mrs. Borden, and Miss Walker attended the Town Hall luncheon held in the crystal ball room at the Mayo Hotel. An informal discussion followed, when Mr. Brown answered questions from the floor. The lecture on Friday, March 22, by Stanley High, on the subject, The World's Last Chance for Peace, was equally popular. And again the lecture was followed by luncheon out-this time a wonderful party luncheon given by Mary Jane Feemster in her home to the senior class, Miss McCormack, Miss Walker, the senior sponsor, and Miss Craig. The seniors gave a short history program in assembly, Fri- day afternoon, February 22. Since it was George Washingtorfs birthday, events of his life and the Revolutionary War were discussed. The program was brought to an end after singing Happy Birthday to George. During the first half of March seniors have spent each Tuesday or Wednesday morning at the Tulsa Public Library working on a source theme for Eng- lish. In April we shall use the library in research on a com- parative study of the social security program in America and abroad.

LOWER SCHOOL GROUP VISITS BANFIELD'S On Tuesday, February 12, promptly at nine o'clock, the first five grades, accompanied by Mrs. Murphy, Mrs. Rinker, and Mrs. Schultz, boarded the school bus and were driven by Walter to Banfield Bros. Packing Company, at 915 East Apache. The trip was made on the invitation of Diana Lee Thompson of the second grade, whose grandfather is Mr. Banfield. Mr. B. Paul Thompson, Diana's father and superintendent of the plant, met the group and served as guide. We went first to a room in which hung what must have been a hundred beeves. The temperature in this room was extremely low: consequently our stay here was quite brief. We passed next through a room in which hung meat of count- less varieties. We saw bacon, ham, steaks, roasts, wieners, bologna, and so on. The third room visited was one in which we witnessed the ineresting process by which frankfurters are stuffed and tied. Upon leaving we were each given a delicious steaming frankfurter in a bun. Outside the plant we saw the pens in which cows are kept and fattened and the ramp over which they walk when driven to slaughter. We saw a similar arrangement for the pigs. Altogether our visit to Banfielcl's was very interesting and cer- tainly most instructive. Our thanks go to Mr. Banfield and Mr. Thompson for such a fine experience. FOURTH AND FIFTH GRADES VISIT CLAREMORE On Monday morning, March 11, at half past ten, the fourth and fifth grades left Holland Hall to go to Claremore. Mrs. Kenneth S. Flint drove one group and Leo, driver for the E. C. Lawsons, took the others. Upon our arrival in Clare- more, we went to the Hotel Will Rogers, where we had a delic- ious fried chicken dinner, which we had previously ordered. From the hotel we drove to the Will Rogers Memorial. This memorial museum contains some of the most interesting things imaginable. Not the least interesting is the dark room containing dioramas, picturing the life of Will Rogers from his childhood to his death. The saddle room was another point of interest for us, as was the crypt wherein lie the bodies of Will Rogers, his wife, and a son who died at the age of four. At 2:30 we left for home, arriving at Holland Hall at 3:10. We could not have chosen a better day. It was warm and sunny, making the outing enjoyable as well as profitable. FIRST GRADE CELEBRATES ARBOR DAY On March 15, at 10:15, the first grade had an Arbor Day tree planting, with the help of Mrs. Borden, our science teacher. We planted some pussy willow shoots on the school grounds. We expect to plant more as the shoots are ready. Each mem- ber of the class will take a shoot home to plant in her own yard. We always enjoy Mrs. Bordenfs visits to us on Friday and are so happy that she stays to have lunch with us. 25 HOLLAND HALL ACTS CHEST X-RAYS By Martha Hoke CGrade 95 On February 6, 1946, Holland Hall Upper School students went to the Public Service to get free chest x-rays and make sure that nobody had tuberculosisl The bus arrived bright and early at 9:30 a. m., to take the first period study hall of thirty- five girls, who put their worries aside on their trip downtown to sing tunes which ran the gamut from The Old Millstreamn to Doctor, Lawyer, and Indian Chief. Upon arriving at the Public Service Building, we entered the lobby. There we saw a strange looking machine, which re- sembled a camera with the wrong end taking the picture. Miss Anderson, lvliss Walker, and Miss Craig were the first victims. We stood in a long line not too patiently waiting. It was not for long. Soon we found ourselves seated at a table, at which little cards were made out for us by several women. These cards contained information such as age and address. After this we were instructed to remove our coats, sweaters, any jewelry, and the contents of our middy pockets. Because of the last order much time was lost in the scramble to pick up from the Hoor bobby pins, pencil stubs, a forgotten cigarette Chushll, a snap- shot, or even a love letter. Now as we stepped up to get our X-ray, we were warned by well-wishers on the side lines not to think of anything that had to do with love or any family secrets, because this machine could also read the mind! Katty White was dreadfuly worried for fear her love story would leak out! just wait till that X-ray reaches the office! The actual shot was not reassuring. We were placed in an uncanny position with our heads thrown back and held there by a wooden chair rest, our elbows thrust out and forward like wings. Next the nurse in a matter-of-fact way ordered us to take a deep breath and hold it. There was a faint click and the ordeal was over. Not so bad after all! Some people had worried horribly in anticipation. Members of the diet table are said to have lost several pounds-a feat they had not achieved by weeks of dieting. Said -one brilliant, I think we should do something like this oftenerf, Maybe we should at that. Following the picture taking, we poured into the adjoining drug store to wait for Walter and the bus. Here lost pounds were in many cases regained. But now we hear shouts. The bus has arrived, we rush out and pile on, as a second load, for the most part girls from the sixth to the eighth grade, make way for us. But wait! We really should linger long enough to enjoy their reactions. Betty White has literally frightened these unfortunates out of their senses by telling them the awfulest things she could stir up. Some of the younger girls think they are going to be strapped down and given shots! Jeannie Warren, who has not lost much sleep worrying in the past, after her X-ray gasped, I never worried before, but I think I've got T. B. now! Whewl That's all. The return trip was quite gay, because there was no need to worry. AND-we persuaded Walter no drive past CASCIA. Quite merrily we returned to work at Holland Hall. MIDDLE GRADES ENTERTAIN The fourth and fifth grades will entertain the entire Lower School on Monday, April 1, at 1:30, with an April Fool Party. A jester will be a special attraction. He will provide fun for the occasion by assigning to certain ones the performance of ludicrous feats. 26 'Mimi MR. WIESENDANGER ADDRESSES ASSEMBLY By Barbara McGill fGrade Sl On Monday, March 4, at the 9:00 o'clock morning assembly, Mr. Martin Wiesendanger spoke to our student body about the Gilcrease Foundation and its wish to honor the Indian race. The Foundation is housed on an estate northwest of Tulsa, a little beyond the city limits. Mr. Weisendanger told us of some of the treasures of the museum which we would want to see when we make our visit: the long gallery of Indian art, drawings and paintings tracing the story of the Indians from the time of William Penn to the present, letters of Sequoyah fwlmo invented the alphabet for his tribelg the library of rare old books. 4 Mr. Wiesendanger championed the cause of the Indian. Most Indians, he said, were peaceful except when their lands and homes were in danger. But the red men have not been treated fairly. Between 1800 and 1907 no fewer than one hundred and fifty-seven treaties have been made with the var- ious tribes and none have been kept. It was Andrew Jackson who moved the Indians off their land in Georgia because gold had been discovered there. These Indians traveled to Okla- homa, where they found very little fuel, only dry plains. Be- tween 1835 and 1841 the five civilized tribes, Creek, Cherokee, Choctaw, Seminole, and Chickasaw, were sent to Oklahoma. Creeks numbering some 16,000 came barefooted and sick over the Trail of Tears, Death claimed 8,000 on the way. When these five tribes were settled, oil was discovered on their prop- erty and again the land was taken from them. Mr. Wiesendanger told us of the work of Sequoyah. The Cherokee alphabet which he invented has eighty-six characters. Sequoyah was uneducated, could not speak English, but he was thoughtful and intelligent. He got the inspiration for devising an alphabet when he saw a missionary fback in 18Z6j reading a book or paper. Aztecs and other older civilizations had not succeeded in making anything such as this, There are three hundred American Indian dialects, and one hundred and fifty sub-dialects. Indian customs of which we were told are most interesting. The Indian cradle board is the secret of the fine Indian posture. A strong hook and a sun shade are attached to every such board. The baby can be hung in a tree while the mother does her work. The cradle can be tilted against the wall or the side of a tent so the baby can see all and all can see the baby. Indians understand psychology. Tribesmen who commit crimes are ignored instead of being punished physically or by imprisonment. When the person realizes he is not important, he repents and is then treated with friendliness and respect. To the Indians dancing is life. Drum rhythms are very complicated. In ceremonies usually four men sit around four drums, each about six inches in diameter. It is weird to hear the fascinating drum beats combined with strange cries and the intermingling of beautiful dance rituals. The Eagle dance is typical. Indians naked save for the loin cloth and moccasins are adorned with feathers on head and arms. Then waving their arms and swooping forward, they portrayed eagles. In- dian chants are pitched differently from other types of sing- ing. The tone is thrown forward in the head and the tune usually ends in a loud surprising yell. We enjoyed very much Mr. Wiesendangerys singing of an Indian chant and his performance on the tom-tom. We cer- tainly feel that now we are a little better equipped to appreciate the Indian race. April, 1946 - MISS HOLLAND HALL MISS MCCORMACK ATTENDS NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF PRINCIPALS On Friday, March 1, Miss Eleanor McCormack, principal of Holland Hall, left for Rye, New York, to attend the Nacional Association of Principals of Schools for Girls. Meetings were held at the Westchester Country Club of Rye on March 6 and 7. Theme of the conference was Education for One World. Among the speakersiwere Dr. H. H. Chang fChinaj and Pro- fessor Andre Morize fHarvardI, who spoke on Education for One World Through Knowledge of Other Countries. Speakers on special topics included Mrs. Elizabeth Martin- Clarke, vice-principal of St. Hugh's College, Oxford, who spoke on A New Approach to the Study of English Literaturef, and Dr. Wilbur K. Jordan, president of Radcliffe College, whose topic was Some Reflections on General Educationf, On. March 8 Miss McCormack attended the twentieth an- nual conference of the Secondary Education Board held at Hotel New Yorker, New York City. The Secondary Educa- tion Board is a national association of independent schools. On Friday, March 8, she attended the open house given from six to eight p. m., by TIME magazine at the TIME and LIFE Building, Rockefeller Plaza. FOURTH AND FIFTH GRADES MAKE TRIP TO MOHAWK On Wednesday, February 20, the fourth and fifth grades took a field trip to Mohawk Park as an adjunct to their study of bird and animal life in their science classes. Mrs. E. C. Lawson, Mrs. John Zink, and Mr. Joel Wolfe drove the group. Also of the party were Mrs. L. Borden, head of the Holland Hall science department, and Mrs. J. A. Murphy, fourth and fifth grade home-room teacher. Arriving at the park, the students divided into two groups, one going through the bird house with Mrs. Borden, while the other went to see the animals with Mrs. Murphy. It proved a most interesting and profitable excursion and the same group is looking forward to a trip to the Will Rogers Memorial in Claremore very soon. SOCIAL BRIEFS ' The last Cascia nickelodeon dance of the year was held Saturday, February 16, in the gymnasium. Jean Ache and John Kaufman, Nancy Jo Canary and Jim Teale, Sue Martin and John McKeown, Janey Porter and Herby Price, Mary Ellen Waters and Jimmy Robinson, Betty White and Dick Pringle, and Sue Woodring and Jimmy Dunlap were seen dancing and having the time of their lives. The week-end of March 1, 2, and 3 was a busy one for Holland Hall girls. Five of our number appeared nightly in the Ice Travaganza, Margaret Ann Graham, Mary Jane Feemster, Caroline and Laura Clarke, and Sally Teale. The rest of us on one or more of the three nights attended and applauded the beautiful work of our representatives. The same week end came the joint Delta Pi and Rajah backward dance at Indian Hills Country Club. This came on Friday evening. Those seen taking advantage of music and refreshments were Eileen Maloney, Sue Martin, Janey Porter, Barbara Riley, Mary Ellen Waters, Betty Wfhite, Sue Wood- ring, and their dates. On Tuesday evening, March 5, came the annual Cascia carnival, a truly gala affair. Carol Bryan, Nancy Jo Cnary, Mar- garet Ann Graham, Sue Martin, Frances McMillin, and Sally lSee NEWS on page 321 MISS HOLLAND HALL - April, 1946 ALUMN AE NEWS Pat Galbreath, '41, Editor In this last issue of MISS HOLLAND HALL the alumnae would like to welcome the members of the class of 1946 to their ranks. It may seem a little early, it is our only opportunity to say anything in print, and therefore irresistible. We all look forward to seeing you at the Alumnae Association banquet in June when your reception will be official, but until that time we wish you all the luck in the world and a minimum of gray hairs at exam time. This seems to be an open season on welcomings, but nothing could be nicer .... Eleanor Pearce West is the most recent arrival, so she is at the top of the list. One-time treasurer of the Alumnae Association, Eleanor has had a 10-month sojourn overseas with the Red Cross as secretary to the Field Director in Manila, she had her Red Cross training in Washington, D. C., and then, of course, there was Holland Hall in the background. Mary McBirney Bryan just returned to Tulsa after spend- ing several months in California. She and Dick did quite a bit of vacationing on Dick's terminal leave from the Navy, but the tales have to be told by Mary herself. All we know is that the climax was reached when hlaryis suitcase was stolen out of their car. The next must be a welcome and a goodby in the same breath. Mary Barnard Lawrence and Dick came to Tulsa on Dickis terminal leave from the Army, but they were gone again almost before anyone saw them. They are in the East now, but we hope theylll be back soon to stay a little longer. Pat Fleming Betts has left Tulsa to make her home in Tupelo, Mississippi, where Hank is working. She and the two children fiew to Memphis, but Pat was faced with the problem of owning two seats on the plane while both children preferred her lap. The last we saw of her she was trying to give away a seat to anyone who would hold the baby .... guaranteed to sleep peacefully throughout the trip. Patsy Pape and Clarabelle Brown will spend their spring vacation visiting friends in Akron, Ohio. Patsy and Imo Jean had planned a trip to Florida, but had to give it up when they were unable to make reservations for the return trip. Yould think they would be willing to stay there indefinitely, but Patsy insisted on being back at Smith to finish out her senior year. Joan Kennedy had better luck and is Florida bound. She will probably come back with a beautiful tan, then gloat over her pale-faced friends in the manner of all Florida vacationers. Margot Lockwood will be in Tulsa shortly to attend the wedding of brother Bob and Joan Davis. Margotis visits have been all too short in the last year or two, but perhaps she can be persuaded to stay a while this time. Rachel Lilystrand Brewer is in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where she has been living while her husband was overseas. Fabian has recently returned, however, and they are planning to make their home in Chicago. Mrs. Lilystrand, Holland Ha.ll's friend of long standing, and Mr. Lilystrand are living on a ranch about thirty miles from Santa Fe. Greetings go also to a whole bevy of alumnae returning from college to Tulsa for the spring vacation-Joan Felt, Barbara Fleming, Joanne Splane from Pine Manor and Gara- lene Vandever from Erskine all arriving by plane on March 23. 'Sally Ann Thompson from Pine Manor will stop en route in Chicago. A round of parties has been planned. 27 'EIGHT ACRES CONTEST For the third successive year the staff of MISS HOLLAND HALL has sponsored a con- test to secure ads for Eight Acres, school yearbook. This year the prize offered for the largest total of sales was an airplane trip. Honorable mention was to go to four groups: for securing up to 530 in ads, the Kiddie Kar rankg up to S60 the rank of Skaterg up to 890 the rank of Bicycle Riderg over ,590 the rank of Car Rider.

McCabe, by selling the most advertising for the Holland Hall year book, 'Eight Acres, won the plane trip to Dallas, offered by the staff of this magazine. On the eventful day, February ZZ, Martha arrived at school in smart traveling costume. Ar 12:15, noon, R. A. Hodder, of American Airlines, Curtis Chapman, director of Holland Hall publications, and Ken Watson, pho- tographer, arrived. As one of the numberless courtesies ex- tended by American Airlines, Mr. Hodder presented Martha with a corsage of roses and gladioli, which blended beautifully with her melon-colored suit. Photographs were taken and the group together with Dean Elizabeth Anderson left for the airport. Here Martha met her stewardess, Miss Janet Truitt, Captain Bob Brainard, and First officer, William Hogate. Again photographic bulbs flashed. At 1:07 they boarded the plane and were off. At 3:40 they arrived in Dallas, where Martha was guest of American Airlines. She was met by Miss Aileen Cartwright, with whom she made a tour of Nieman-Marcus, department Upper left-Bob Hodder, district manager, American Airlines, pins a corsage on Marthag center, Martha tries on hats at Nieman-Marcus' department store, right, arrival in Dallas on American Airlines' plane. Lower left--First Officer, William Hogate, Martha, Captain Bob Bramardg right, Martha and party watch Hoor show at the Adolphus. store. Ar Miss Cartwright's home, Martha changed to formal dress. From there, with Frank Schulte and William Holloclc, they departed for the Adolphus Hotel. At midnight, the group left for the airport to watch the planes come and go. At 1:20 Martha boarded the return plane after the most wonderful six- teen hours of her life. In Dallas, as in Tulsa, there were photographs. Through the courtesy of E. Saunders, Regional Director of Public Relations, American Airlines, Dallas, a number of these reached us. We quote from his letter: I sincerely believe that Miss McCabe thoroughly enjoyed her Dallas visit, including the ride on the American Airlines Flagship. Miss McCabe is a very charming young lady and it was a pleasure to act as host during her visit. If she is a sample of the Holland Hall undergraduate, then the school should rate very highf' MISS HOLLAND HALL wishes to acknowledge the pere fection of arrangements made by American Airlines when they were hosts for a day to our representative. E HOLLAND HALL RESIDENCE fA last note from Oakwold Seniors to be delivered to Undergrads on June 2, 19461 Dear Infants of Oakwolcluz According to the calendar, June comes around every year. However, as the months dragged by and the demerits poured in, frankly we have been rather dubious as to whether or not we could survive till then. Between Miss McCormack,s infernal source theme, Miss Anderson's equally bothersome gym periods, and exams fwhich could only be conceived by Satan himselfl life really has been rather trying. But somehow we have sur- vived and now June is finally here, graduation is over, and at last we're women of the world. In spite of the dignity which goes with the title of graduates and the obvious joy of this occasion, the peace and quiet we so often screamed for mocks us. We kept expecting to hear the clatter of the breakfast bell, rattling each bone impartially, followed by the proctor yanking the covers off young and old alike with the same impersonal air, or hear an outraged l'Yipel', as a stray foot tears the remaining flesh from an already bat- tered shin in a speedy game of hockey. In fact we miss a lot of little things-dancing to the juke box during intermissions, the frenzied shouts of 'ipencil when the record sticks, the familiar and oh so hard bump on Peoria which the bus never fails to hit, the horrible concoctions and accompanying odors emerging from the chemistry lab, and Miss Walker's cheerful, Here, Pal, as she hands us the de- merit pad, but most of all we miss YOU. You know who you are: We raided the Oakwold icebox with you, borrowed your prized possessions for our equally prized dates, and held mem- orable bull sessions on your beds after lights. We miss your chatter, your typical boarding school rows, and your after-lights escapades. You who in spite of your short hot tempers taught us that the ancient saying, Dog is man's best friendf' is all wrong. We miss you, the Infants of Oakwold. In fact, we've found that we miss a lot of little things which go to make up what we once called an ordinary clay and it's these little things which we remember and forgive fwhen forgiving is necessaryl, but can't forget. WE MISS: Nia Anderson, who not only took care of our various aches and pains while serving as our official adviser, but who was a friend and mother to us as well. The infamous After-Ten Club meetings, which not only terrorized the third floor with its various escapades on the fire escape, but left the icebox completely devoid of anything but ice! The station wagon, which may definitely be classed as 4-F. Its break-downs, Hat tires, and freakish brakes added color to the most routine of excursions. The slightly off-tune grace at table, the mad scramble for the spam, and the chatter followed by a hopeful silence when the phone rings. Our stolen walks by the pool, where we'd discuss life in general and men as a pretty important phase of life. MISS HOLLAND HALL - April, 1946 Afternoons at Smity's, where we'd devour a series of ham- burgers without having some aristocrat complain about the onions. , The birds, whose cheery songs woke us at five a. m., to in- form us that dawn was approaching--as if we wanted to know! The laughing consternation when Rosie, lost in higher thoughts, absent-mindedly dropped the rhubarb pie down Madame Witek's blouse. The night Sexton complained that the birds were deafening her and a muffled, but distinct masculine voice yelled from the shrubbery, Birds, my foot! Can we come in? Miss Anderson, when serenaded from her balcony in earnest, but terribly Hat notes, gleefully pouring a bucket of water on the local talent. , The do-do bird joke, which through its wit and sparkling humor, has cheered our blackest hours fthat impressive quota- tion, courtesy of Shakespearell That fine sport who had the courage to muster a weak, but never-the-less dimpled grin on Hallowe,en, when she found marshmallows in her shoes and eggs in her bed. Sexton again--undoubtedly the greatest diplomat of the country. The breakfast bell, which has our grudging respect for hav- ing withstood the efforts of the entire residence body to silence it. In fact, we take our hats off to each of you, to the Misses Wfalker, Gustafson, Cassidy, and Anderson, and to Mrs. Wil- liams, for being the most wonderful community mothers we could have. To Miss Pearl, Mrs. Steward, Nora, Fay, and Mrs. Crosser, who among them kept us not only well fed, but spic and span as well. We'll remember Delma Jo, Rosie, and Ruby for the Christian spirit they somehow managed to main- tain as we sprawled on their newly made beds or stumbled over some unknown something, leaving the remains of a Glen Miller scattered throughout the room. We remember Joan's fantastic witticisms, Sexton's equally fantastic tales of Kansas City, Kitty's soft shoulder, which always seemed to be there when we needed a friend. Nor can we forget Bulkley's cala- mine lotion, Maryanne's uncontrollable chuckle, Maurine's diet lists, Cora Jean's crushes, Marieis head for economics, McCabe's pitiful plea for ads, Julie's quaintness, Tam's moron jokes, Nancy's impishness, Patls hair, which curls in all kinds of weather, or Diana's delightful vagueness. We miss you ALL. It's to you, the Infants of Oakwoldf' that we dolf our hats, not only for your individual personal- ities, the maintenance of your high standards, but we salute you as friends as well. You have always been, and always will be, tops with us. Love always, The Oakwold Seniors, Class of '46, 3 1 NEWS ffrom page 271 White were seen from time to time through the evening betting on the horse races, buying chances at different booths, and having their fortunes told. Janey Porter and Betty White couldn't believe they had really won those nylons. Of course everyone was in hopes of winning the 1946 Chevrolet but to no avail. Those who had dates spent part of the evening dancing in the boys' canteen. All enjoyed themselves and we'll be looking forward to another carnival next year. Basketball has claimed some time and interest. Carol Bryan, Virginia Ruprecht, and Katty White attended the Cascia-John Carroll game at Cascia, Saturday afternoon, March 9. The championship' game the same evening between Cascia and St. Gregory, also at Cascia, drew a big crowd. Cheering from the sidelines were Nancy Jo Canary and Bob Padon, Janey Porter and Joe Lane, Mary Ellen Waters and Jimmy Robinson, Betty and Mimi White with Dick Pringle and Bob Allen, Sally White with John Russell. ' Holland Hall girls who enjoyed the Toppers, picnic and dance were Carol Bryan, Sue Martin, Mary Ellen Waters, and Sally White. Dates were Gene Rowe, Jim McNamar, Jimmy Robinson, and Wally Bewley. The same group and several more from Holland Hall with their dates were guests for the Toppers' hay-ride on Saturday, March 23. Spring vacation would seem a long way off if it were riot for the occasional week-end out of town which some of us have enjoyed. Eileen Maloney had a week's trip with her parents from March 11 to March 17. The city of New Orleans and Tulane University were among the main points of interest, she says. Oakwold girls made something of an exodos the weekend of March ZZ. BOOK REVIEW fContinued from page 101 was standing on a snow ramp with no support underneath it, only eight thousand feet of glaciers. Martin reached him, offering him his hand. The author described this moment thus: For one Hashing, timeless instant on that forlorn and timeless mountain-side Martin looked into a man's eyes, and everything that the man was was there. He saw it all now, naked and manifested before him: the frustration and bitter- ness of contumacyg the fear and the pride and the bottomless sterility of pride, the despairing lonely hunger of the unloving and the unlovedg the will to conquer and the will to die .... H However the author's outlook on life was not alto ether 1 g tragicg he describes it in the end as follows: '!The world is a fine place too and worth fighting for . . . . and living for .... You believed that. You had always be- lieved it and you always would. But sometimes you get tired. Sometimes you forgot .... That was the big thing of course. Not to get tired. Not to forget. It was the one real thing your life thus far had taught you-the one great truth that rose up like a gigantic pillar out of the lies and evil and cor- ruption of the earth. To want and to seek-never the one without the other-that is the Law. It's not where you seek that matters .... Itys not finding that matters, because you never will. The thing you are looking for is nameless and boundless. You will never find it, never possess it. But it exists. It is real . It is the stud your very life is made of. It is there. To me, this book was really there because of its thrilling adventures and its psychology of life. If you want a book which is full of excitement and which will make you think, read, The XVI-nite Tower. 32 O INSURANCE 605 McBirney Building Telephone 4-7191 SETH HUGHES MORGAN JONES SAM S RUSSELL Hughes Innes 8.
