A4 Sally white Frances McMillin .....Miss Sharp This has been a busy year for the juniors. Ruby Webb is vice-president of the student council, Julie Flint our class representative on the council. We feel hon- ored to have the co-captains of both athletic teams chosen from our class, Celia Nesbitt for the Sakawas, and June Fletcher for the Wanatas. Celia is also vice- president of the Camera Club. Sue Murray has been serving us on the Assembly Committee this year. Three of the class were enrolled in the word study class the first semester. Margaret Foster has been taking an active part in glee club, and Julie Flint has been occupied with our fun sheet, Tome-a-Hawk. Frainces Mc- Milliil really worked hard as director of our carol singing at Christmas. Much credit goes to her for the good performance. Our business ventures included our concession at Field Day and more re- cently the selling of Holland Hall stickers. Freak Day came around March 6 with juniors much in evidence fnaturallyj. The teachers avoided us after that because we put on a skit showing how we thought they might have acted in their high school days. Next big event for us was the birthday party which Mrs. Moiran gave for Tish on March 17, her seventeenth birthday. Tish's birthday has come to be an annual celebration at the school. There was a beautiful three-tiered cake with ice cream. We have had our honors. The Christmas queen is always chosen from the junior class. This year the queen was Ruby Webb. We were also honored in having several members of our class chosen for roles in the three-act play, Let Me Grow Up, presented at Oakwold the evenings of March 23, 24, and 25. Sally White carried the important role of Mary Jo, the girl from next-door. Sue Murray was Arden, the local siren, and Pat Chesnut was Muriel, a natural-born actress. On the production staff were June Fletcher as prompter and Ruby Webb as stage manager. We have had loads of fun writing the senior prophecy. We can hardly wait to present it on Class Day. We are looking forward to planning the commencement dance honoring the seniors and to holding the arches for them in the commence- ment exercises. Best of all will be the ring ceremony following the dance which will make us seniors.

This is what has happened to our class this year. Here we go! Plus 16, minus 1, plus 4, minus 2, equals 17, our increasing and decreasing population. The plus 4 represents four girls who entered at mid-year or thereabouts. Of these Ginger Hayes and Susie Vinson remained, an added attraction to our class. Olflicers, be- sides those listed abo-ve, are Julia Ann Park, secretary of the student council, and Marie Coyle, class representative on the council. Katty White is our delegate to the assembly committee. We have had some honors. Jan Moses won a third in the spring art contest sponsored by A.A.U.W. Her entry was on display at Philbrook and will be sent with other winning entries to Oklahoma City. Caroline Clarke was chosen to model an evening gown for the Brown-Dunkin ad in the February issue of MISS HOL- LAND HALL. Martha Hoke's cover design was chosen for the Christmas issue of MISS HOLLAND HALL, she designed and drew the twelve title pages for the 1947 yearbook, she was winner in the flag design contest sponsored by the Holland Hall Student Council. A picture of this Holland Hall flag will appear in the fall issue of our magazine. The Tulsa Ice Travaganza this year found Caroline Clarke, Debby Page, and Martha Hoke skimming along in various and sundry numbers. Last, but by no means least, our own Debby Page was the star of the three-act comedy, Let Me Grow Up, staged at Oakwold the evenings of March 23, 24, and 25. Also in the cast of this play were sophomores Adelaide Lyon and Julie Park. Marie Coyle was a prompter. Our year has been filled with interesting events: Field Day, when we sold orchids at 32.50 per, the Dallas and Kansas City school survey trips, on each of which we were represented, Bulb Week, to which we donated pink and blue hya- cinthsg our Thanksgiving assembly program and our Freak Day assembly skit, Mary Lee' s sleighing party, and Mai-ilyn's and Martha McCabe's birthday luncheons at the Junior League tea rooms, the O'.M.A. and Cotillion Club dances, which we enthusiastically supported, best of all, perhaps, the picnic and scavenger hunt which we gave in April in honor of the seniors. We have had a wonderful sponsor. She not only teaches French and Latin efficiently, but makes the days of all the girls pleasanter with her wit and humor.

When we arrived at school on September 9, we discovered that our enrollment was greatly increased. Our sponsor, Miss Craig, now harbored nineteen freshmen, the largest class in the Upper School. Newcomers included Polly Ambrister of Oklahoma City, Bar- bara Fullerton of Miami, Oklahoma, and Charlotte Cotton and Ann Stewart of Tulsa. First in the order of events was Field Day. Many of the freshmen participated in the father-daughter baseball game. Ar the food sale, we sold hamburgers and salads, a venture which proved quite profitable. In December we visited a session of the Traffic Court, a project which proved both instructive and entertaining. The ninth grade, together with the tenth, again enjoyed the activities of the Cotil- lion Club. Mrs. Page and Mrs. Russell, assisted by Miss Bell, sponsored three dances. The first two were informal, the third, formal. A11 were held at Oakwold. In December we displayed our musical and dramatic talents by presenting an operetta, Bluebeard.,' Meg Simpson, as Bluebeard, played the part of the villain, who cut off the heads of his wives and kept them in a closet. Ann Arnold, as Fatima, the current wife, and Vivia Van Dyne, as Sister Anne, were the ones who opened the closet door. Ann Henry, Barbara Fullerton, and Barbara McGill were the very dead heads displayed when the closet door was opened. Charlotte Cotton and Sally Teale were the brothers of Fatima, who came to the rescue. In March the freshman class put on another assembly program, Roman Private Life as Revealed Through Her Excavated Cities. Discussions were illustrated by stereop- ticon slides. While we are looking forward to vacation, we still feel that we have had an enjoyable and profitable year.

Mrs. Hammett The first day of school found us eagerly looking for a new eighth grader. The only new face belonged to our unsuspecting homeroom teacher, Miss Thomas, who had journeyed all the way from Pottstown, Pennsylvania, to teach at Holland Hall. We were very much interested in the fact that she is an alumna of Vassar. October rolled around and we tried to increase our diminishing class funds by selling cookies and cake. Because of a lot of lively competition we didn,t make any fortune, though we did come out about a dozen dollars ahead, and we took a good deal of satisfaction in our attractive booth, decorated in our class colors, red and white. October was an exciting month for our class because October is the month for the Tulsa Horse Show. Six of us-Barbara Brander, Priscilla Carter, Laura Clarke, Nancy Lackey, Judy Holleman, and Jeannie Warren ride regularly at Charles' Stables. In the Tulsa Horse Show of October 9 to 13, two of our num- ber came off with prizes. Jeannie Warren, riding her own horse, My Man Friday, placed first in the Sunday night Children's Championship, Three-gaited, Sixteen and Under, carrying off 565. Nancy Lackey, riding her mother's horse, Lion Heart, won fifth place in both the preliminary and final Five-gaited, Sixteen and Under, and received S10 and S20 for the victories. ' The most memorable event of the Christmas holidays was the marriage of our sponsor, Miss Thomas, to Jay Hammett, of Tulsa. The ceremony was held in the chapel of the Hill School, Pottstown, Pennsylvania. The weeks following the holidays were crowded ones. January was a dreaded month because of mid-year exams. However, we are happy to say, eighth grade girls held their own. Whereas at the end of the first quarter, 33Vi had made places on the Academic Honor Roll, at mid-year half of us had reached either honors or honorable mention. We have participated in extra-curricular activities. Every member of the class has had an article or poem published in MISS HOLLAND HALL. We have an active dramatics club. Our big social event for second semester is the picnic which we give for the seventh grade on May 17. We all hope to be a wonderful ninth grade class, providing, of course, that we get our diplomas.

Page 42 At the opening of school there were thirteen of us including three new girls, Mary Louise Hanks and Mary Carter Nelson of Tulsa, and Sid Reinhardt of Arkansas City, Kan-sas. Later we were happy to welcome four more seventh graders, Elaine Bush of New York, Gelene Gish from Texas- Joan Olmstead of Little Rock, Arkansas, and Shirley Weber of Ellinwood, Kansas. Our first project, a concession on Eield Day, proved highly successful. The sixth grade sold colorful balloons and grotesque false faces, while the seventh grade went over the top in their sale of dainty corsages. Music, art, dramatics, and physical education afford a splendid outlet for our varied talents and bound- less energy. We have participated in two plays, The Gift Perfectn and The Bird on Nellie,s Hat,,, and plan to present two or three more, including a French play directed by Mrs. Peters. We like to work as well as to play. The sixth grade girls enjoy memorizing poems, some having learned twenty or more, most of them on their own initiative. Both grades have striven to improve their reading technique in speed and compre- hension. Our chart shows that a few of the girls have advanced as much as three grades since the beginning of the year. One long period each week is devoted to free reading. We are fortunate in having a good library in our home room. Fiction is the most popular, but we have a required reading list which covers a wide range. A new set of Compto'n's Pic- tured Encyclopediau is kept constantly in use. for geography especially requires much reading outside the text. From these reference books and other reading sets we study the lives of the great men and women who have contributed so much to the building of America. We read of their hardships and their undaunted courage. In this way we learn to appreciate our pioneers and the fine character traits which they symbolize. We have posted in our room a slogan, THE PUPIL WHO READS IS THE PUPIL WHO LEADS. Believing this to be true, we exert ourselves to develop a taste for good books. Not only do we learn to read, but read to learn. 1 in-f 1, Q i . N N -wi fs l jl ' E E A GRADES 4 AND 5 llVlrs.

Ga y l c Good- nough. Kfhr' In September we returned to school eager to resume work. We found new bookshelves across the east side of our room, and later a new set of maps arrived. Field Day as usual was one of our big days. At our cool green and white booth we served cake, cookies, and cup cakes. We had fun selling and seeing our wares disappear quickly. Our booth was very pretty and was one of three featured in the pictures of Field Day in the fall issue of MISS HOLLAND HALL. As an assembly program we gave a play entitled. wfhanksgiving Then and Nowf' It was a story of the first Thanksgiving and the Pilgrim costumes, the old Wheel, cane Dottonl chairs, and churn nlade our Stage set picturesque as well as authentic. A bit from this play will be found among the snapshots of our yearbook. Our Dramatics Club, assisted by sixth grade girls, on Valentine's Day presented a phantasy, The Gift Perfectf, A full-page reproduction, showing set and cast, will be found in the yearbook. As the yearbook goes to press, we are interested in plans for the annual May fete, the crowning of the May queen, the folk dances, and the winding of the traditional May pole. In spite of many extra-curricular activities, we have tried to maintain high academic standards. We have studied painstakingly all the usual subjects. We have also studied French. Before the fourth grade our French was entirely oral. This year, however, we have learned to visualize by reading and writing French, starting with the simple sentences used on our charts. The picture above shows a student leader using a simple, illustrated French poster. Most of our French charts deal with objects about the room. We have tried to do all our work well.

The first important event of the year was the election of our class officers. Results of the election were as follows: Jamie, president, Judy Jo, vice-president, Ann, secretary, and Gayle, treasurer. Other honors of the year include the citizen of the quarter. These were, first quarter, Julie Francis, second quarter, Gayle Babcock, third quarter, Judy Rives. Our class has had a wide interest in nature and outdoor life. Creating some of this interest were our fish, which have survived through two school terms, the four turtles donated by Suzy Ruppert, the baby chicks brought by Judy Jo. Of especial value was our trip to Mohawk Park to see the birds after our science unit, Birds.U Each special holiday we have celebrated by having a homeroom party with games and refreshments. For Halloween we all came dressed in costumes of our choice. We joined the rest of the lower grades in a masked march through Upper and Lower Schools. Our Halloween party was extra fun because Jamie brought a Mexican game, which we all enjoyed. In addition to our class party, Sandra gave an extra Halloween party. We have presented two plays. The first, a French play, entitled, L'Elfe de Noelf' we presented at the Lower School Christmas exercises. The second play, which we gave in January at a Lower School assembly, was a one-act play, Contrary Mar . Slome of our art work was entered in the contest sponsored by the American Association of University Women this spring. Julie Francis won a third place in this exhibit, shown at Philbrook. We have one of the prettiest homerooms. We have had a good year, and we are looking ahead to next year when we shall be together again. .X '5 . Vi 1 S s wtf ln.-..

First of all we learned to read. We like it so well we want to read everything we can find suitable for a first grader. We have read twelve books together and each of us has read at least twenty library books, some as many as forty. Miss Davis has been so kind and helpful in teaching us songs to Hr all occasions and the rhythm band has been so much fun. We always look forward to our time in the tnusic room. We are proud of the French songs and vocabulary we have learned with Mrs. Peters to help us. French is so much fun-we miss this class on Fridays when Mrs. Peters is not here. Miss Michel says we are very good in our art workg it must be because she makes it so interesting. We love to hear her stories about South America. We try to draw what she tells us about. All vear we have watched the things of nature around us. Our field trips with Mrs. Blocker have given us much to talk about the rest of the week. We are learning to look about us and to observe what the birds, insects- and plants are doing at different times of the year. In February we gave a play, Spring Flowers, for the Lower School assembly, and in March we gave another little play, Belling the Cat, for our parents. We were happy to participate in the Christmas and May Day programs given by the Lower School. Our Halloween, Christmas, Valentine, and Faster parties were occasions never to be forgotten. These were planned by all of us and each girl did her part to make them successful. Yes! We have had a wonderful year, but we know that next year will be just as interesting as this, so we are looking forward to September, when we shall be together in the second grade.

Page 46 Every clay the seniors enjoy the companionship of a group of children their own age. The program provides an opportunity for each child to tell things, and to listen to other children tell things, to make something, be it ever so crude, and to work with paints, clay, and crayons. Music time offers an opportunity to sing familiar songs and to learn new ones, to respond to the rhythm of music through skipping, marching, swinging, and spontaneous movement. The primary objective of the kindergarten is to promote the physical, emotional, and mental growth of each child. The program is designed to help this develop- ment. There is a day by day routine, but the program is flexible, as often a child will bring something from home which supplies the keynote of our work for the entire morning. One day, for instance, John brought a small turtle with roses painted on its back. We talked about the turtle, asked if the roses had grown on his shell or had been painted by someone. Vfe colored pictures of turtles and learned a new song about a little turtle. Each day brings new interests for the group and many happy experiences are shared through play. The senior kindergarten group receives some pre-primary teaching in reading- readiness, preparing eye and mind and hand for the important task of learning to read. Ir would be very interesting to have a recording made during the first two weeks of school and another at the end of the year to show the measure of growth che group has made in learning to settle their disputes among themselves, to be happily and purposefully occupied, and to live contented together each morning. The recordings would reflect the importance of the learning period under six years of age. The age requirement for the senior group is five years old by the first of the year following September entrance. However to be really accepted by the group a child should lose a front tooth or at least have one loose enough to wriggle with her tongue. Also she should be able to tell a tall tale about shooting lions and bears and to invent a few names, as in this threat, You old 'snooglef I am going to burn you in the stove.

Although the junior and senior kindergartens have similar opportunities and materials, the methods of approach differ widely in the two groups. Not only are the teachers cognizant of the differences, but the children, too, are much aware of their respective titles, senior, or jnnior. Thus a senior is motivated to set the example for his younger counterpart and the junior looks forward to the day when he can be lord and master of the kindergarten. The four year old spends a good part of the fall becoming acquainted with the routine, the materials, and the other children. From taking off his wraps and eating lunch to building a boat and listening to a story, the child is learning to live with others and to be independent. In art throu h the ear the four ear old rows from satisfaction in scribblin ' g Y A Y S S to a desire to represent something even though to the adult eye the result may be absolutely meaningless. As long as the young artist is satished and shows some progress, that,s what counts. Beside singing and rhythms, the group is encouraged to com ose ori inal son s. These, of course, are fleetin ins irations, but all the P A ey t g A g P more engaging in their spontaneity. Toys brought to show at Telling Time are sometimes used in their play. Thus the blocks stacked in the corner are rearranged into a large airport. Besides the assorted blocks, tiles, beads, pegs, and puzzles for creative and manipulative play, there is the doll corner. Here many intimate details of family living are made use of by the children in their play acting. As part of it all, holidays and anniversaries-Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valen- tine's Day, Easter, May Day, birthdays-as well as bus rides to and from school, and outdoor play serve as centers of interest and contribute to the variety of activities. In the minds of the teachers there are plans, schemes, and reasons behind what goes on at the Cottage, but the recurrent theme of the plot is that the children work and learn without thinking they are doing anything but having fun.

STUDENT COUNCIL President Nlarion lVlclVIillin Vice-President Ruby Jean Webb Secretary julia Ann Park Treasurer Ann Henry The Student Council has been active this year. It is run entirely by students with Dr. Tomes as sponsor. The council is made up of the officers, a representative from each homeroom, and the president of the Oalcwold house council. Suggestions from the girls are presented to the council through the representatives. The council dis- cusses these suggestions and votes upon them. The representatives inform the homeroom of the decisions made by the council. Every nine weeks the council chooses the Citizen of the Quarter. This honor is given to the girl who the coun- cil thinlcs has been the best citizen and has contributed the most to the school. The Citizen of the Quartern for the first, second, and third quarters respectively are Marion lVlclVlillin, Ruby jean Webb, and Margaret Ann Evans. One of the main duties of the council this year has been to introduce an honor study hall. It has given the girls a chance to prove char they are able to take such a responsibility. A student proctor, preferably a girl on the council, is in charge. Everyone is in honor study hall at the beginning of the quarter. Girls are taken out because of lack of cooperation. At the end of the quarter, girls who have been talcen out are considered and may be re- placed in honor study hall. This idea was obtained by the girls from visits to other schools where honor study halls worked very effectively. The Student Council has sponsored a number of activities. Most important of these was the visit to Hoclcaday. Barstow- and Sunset Hill schools by groups of five students each. Another was the contest for designing a Holland Hall flag. Plans for Field Day and for the Christmas program were decided upon by the council. Even Freak Day was council-sponsored. The Student Council this year has tried to bring about a closer understanding between students and faculty. We have reason to hope that the council will grow stronger every year.

Marie Dickason The Lower School Student Council was organized the first of the school year with Dr. Tomes as sponsor and has functioned well. The representatives are girls from grades one through seven. From the first grade Malissa Billingslea. Louise Gish, Patricia McClintock, Chryssee Perry, and Sandra Lee Spivey have served as representatives for one or more quarters. The second and third grades have been represented by Gayle Babcock, Elizabeth Diggs, Linda Ann Schoenfeld. Julie Francis, and Ann Winters. From the fourth and fifth grades have come representa- tives Ann Carter, Carolyn Cremin, Sheila Kerlin, Gayle Goodnough, Carolyn Holmes, Jacque Elaine Lair, and Mar- ian Long. Serving as sixth grade representatives have been Pat Flint, Patricia Lawson, Jackie Warren, and Anne Wolfe. Seventh grade representatives include Eddie May Gregory, Mary Louise Hanks, Mary Carter Nelson, and Ann VVWy. Amendments to the Lower School constitution have been made by the council and approved by Dr. Tomes. One of the amendments calls for the electing of only one president, vice-president, and secretary of the council during the year. Representatives are elected each quarter. In October the Lower School Student Council sponsored the planting of bulbs in front of the school building and in beds elsewhere on the grounds. H. G. Jensen, of the Jensen Landscape Company, supervised the planting. The Student Council has sponsored the voting for May Queen. The background of the throne, which is to be made of Howers, will be arranged by members of the Student Council and the seventh grade. It is the duty of the council to serve the Lower School in any capacity that will help to hold up line ideals. We discuss care of the buildings and grounds, behavior in the classroom, halls, dining room, and at assemblies. Sug- gestions made in the council are carried back to the homerooms by the representatives. With the homeroom teachers as guides the various class groups set up plans to carry out the suggestions offered by the council.

THE ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE For the past several years we have had a student assembly program committee. This year the committee con- sists of hve members, a representative from each grade of the Upper School. Our sponsor is Miss Hartsook. In our meetings we take up many plans for assemblies. There is only one thing wrong and that is that no two members ever have the same plans. It is all very confusing, as each of the hve members has her own opinion as to what an assembly program should be. Also, when we finally come to an agreement, Nliss Hartsook appoints one of us to call up the selected speaker and give the invitation. Then forty-eight hours before the time for the program she checks the work of her committee only to find that somebody has forgotten and no invitation has been extended. In spite of difficulties and partial failures, we have provided a series of good programs. The program of September 18 was a good one. The speaker was Mrs. Thomas B. Leach flVlary Veasey, Holland Hall, '24-J, who told us about her work with the Chuckle Club for chronically ill children. She held us spell-bound with several stories of her own which she wrote for children. Our programs have been varied. Hugh Davis, director of the zoo at Nlohawk Park, gave a 1110St interesting program on wild life, illustrating with moving pictures which he had taken himself. He even brought along live specimens of snakes to enliven the program. Probably no other program so held the students as did the religious talk by the Reverend Mr. Brian Green, of Holy Trinity Church, Brompton, London. The subject was Applied Christianity. We also have had many pleasing programs from the students. On October 15 the sixth and seventh grades under the direction of lVlrs. Kiker gave a dog show. Kaye Creekmore was master of ceremonies. The freshmen gave a pleasing musical play, Bluebeard, with Ann Arnold carrying the role of Fatima and Meg Simpson play- ing the part of Bluebeard. The sophomores gave a Thanksgiving program and in one of the lighter numbers introduced a real live turkey. There have also been instructive student assemblies such as the assembly on Novem- ber 20 when the history classes put on a program entitled, Education for W'orld Citizenship. Visual education has not been left out. On March Z0 American Airlines gave us an excellent movie, Seeing New York. On March 21 the freshmen gave a steteopticon program, Roman Private Life as Evidenced by Excavated Cities.

HONOR STUDY HALL Our study hall system was greatly improved during the second semester. On the request of all the students and by the unanimous vote of the student council, we initiated the honor study halls, ideas for which were given to us by the Holland Hall students who last fall made surveys of three other mid-western private schools. The schools visited were Hoclcaday in Dallas and Barstow and Sunset Hill in Kansas City. In all of these the honor study hall has operated successfully. Our own setup represents a combination of the plans used in these three schools. NVe have an honor study hall at each period of the day. A member of the student council or a representative from the student body who is out- standing for good citizenship is in charge of a given study hall. During the first four minutes of the period girls are allowed to collect materials and to get assignments if necessary. At the end of the four minutes there is no tallcing or moving around the room. Every student is in an honor study hall at the first of the quarter. To remain she must show herself capable of working quietly and be dependable at all times. If she fails at any point, a checlc is given to her by the student leader. Two checlcs from the leader or a check each from two honor study periods causes her removal from all honor study halls to a study hall supervised by a teacher. At the beginning of a new quarter students who have been removed are carefully considered by the student council and the faculty and may be reinstated in the honor study halls. The plan has proved highly successful and very few girls have had to be removed from study hall through the semester that the plan has been in opera- tion.

Every Nlonday, Tuesday, and Thursday at the activity period, you will find a dozen girls gathered in Room 2 waiting for any or all of an assortment of varied assignments. Indeed, it was this jumble of assorted lassies which made possible MISS HOLLAND HALL and EKHdT ACRES So you want to join our happy throng! Let's see if you can qualify. Do you have the patience for syllable reading? Yes? Then you are accepted. You'll be one of the chief proof-readers from now on. No, you say? Well, perhaps we can use you anywayg the staff has many duties. Our three staff artists supply covers, cartoons. illustrations for stories. Then come those ardent Camera Club enthusiasts, who are past masters at snapping your worst angle, but who supply many a page in our magazine or yearbook. We have been dead to the world, perhaps absorbed in the task of trying to catch the printer in a mistake, when we are nnerrupted by shouts of laughter fronithe ucubby-holef,in other words,the screened corddor end out side, occupied during staff meetings by the editors of our fun sheet, Tome-a-Hawk. They are laughing at their own jokes again! Now, do you still want to be a member of the elite? You may be sorry! To get the issue out you may even have to miss that Saturday show. Well, if you are game, we'll take you on. Your first assignment will be an interview as preliminary for a feature story. You may be sent to the Boys' Home or to the Evangeline Club-but you will necessarily come back with your story. Did you say you prefer to write up the news for MISS HOLLAND HALL? Think of all the sleep you'll lose writing about the social life of our super sub-debs. Oh, well, itls your own funeral! Of course, the staff couldnlt possibly supply all the stories and other contributions which our magazine requires. Bdany contnbunonsconiefronmthe Enghsh deparnnent,fron1the sdencg or an deparunent.

CAMERA CLUB As spring approached. Smile, or, Look at the Birdie, or, Stop Moving! could be heard at almost any hour of the da on the Holland Hall cam us or inside in a makershift studio. Since hlms and flash bulbs had Y P become easier to obtain and since more cameras were available man irls decided to 'oin the ranks of the Camera w Y g J Club. To be a member of this organization it is necessary to take at least ten pictures suitable for publication in an issue of MISS HOLLAND HALL or in EIGHT ACRES. Last fall when Field Day came, many camera fans took pictures of the Dad-Daughter softball game and the class booths. In the November issue of MISS HOLLAND HALL our club was well represented by a double spread of snapshots. The girls have worked even harder on the snapshots for the yearbook. Of course there have been failures. Since the eager photographer in her anxiety often under-exposes or over-exposes the negative, or stands too close or too far from the subject, many pictures are not even submitted. This, however, doesn't seem to dis- courage. The first failures are nearly always attributed to the camera. After that, if everything doesn't go all right, the person taking the picture admits that she COULD be a little to blame! We hope that you will enjoy seeing the familiar faces and unusual poses as you look through our part of the annual. As time goes on, cameras and films will gradually become easier and easier to buy. Even by next year our organization should become still stronger and we should be able to give you more than our nine pages of snapshots.

CHEMISTRY This year the chemistry class of Holland Hall has followed the pattern laid out by preceding classes. Every Friday there has been a new experiment for us to undertake and our results have usually consisted of an odor, an explosicn, a few burns, and blown-up test tubes. There have usually been two or three girls whose remains had to be carried out on stretchers. But donit hold this against us, for we not only draw attention, but cause a sensa- tion when we heat sulphur, which gives a terrific odor, or drop a piece of sodium in a pan of water, which produces a monstrous explosion. These experiments are handled by girls, working in pairsg the same two girls work together throughout the year. Each pair is equipped with test tubes, watch glasses, a bunsen burner. a ring stand, and the like. The equipment when not in use is kept in individual cupboards assigned to each couple at the beginning of the year. Seriously, however, we have learned much from these experiments. So too have we learned much from the dififerent reports that we have worked on. These reports relate to the practical application of chemistry and cover the study of oil, gems, and cosmetics among other subjects. Each girl makes an exhaustive study of all articles written on her research topic and gives a summary of her findings in a theme. XVe all not only enjoy this experi- ence in research study, but we profited by hearing each other's reports. During the first part of the year, we took a trip to Brown-Dunkinys to watch a demonstration of glass-blowing. Wfe were fascinated with what could be done with glass right before our eyes. Through the patience of Mrs. Blocker, we have learned many interesting and helpful facts about chemistry. Page 56 kigigfwgt.. ,....:.

Marie Coyle. Maurine johnson, BIOLOGY Even though our modern world is whirling madly through all the mazes of new developments in the scientific fields, our biology class has at least tried to keep up. Plastics, new fabrics, amazing medicines and drugs have found a place in our study. XVe have followed the progress of research scientists and have studied their findings with eager interest. The war made everyone more or less first-aid conscious. The illustration in the picture above. showing the biology class practicing firstvaid. includes the administration of artihcial respiration, the correct wrapping of a hand bandage. a foot bandage, a sling for a broken arm, and the application of a tourniquet. Naturally in this course of study much had to be learned before the practical procedures of first-aid could be put into operation. This included the understanding of the various systems of the body. such as the circulatory and respiratory systems. as well as a knowledge of bones and muscles. Pressure points were learned along with treatment for shock, and helpful suggestions were gained of what to do in an emergency. The digestive and nervous systems also opened up large Helds of interest. Under the general heading of di- gestion we learned about vitamins, how to count calories to maintain a healthy body, the correct foods to eat, and of course, the intricate process of digestion. The nervous system brought out comments for perhaps some of thc Ill0St interesting of our class discussions, for this field includes different kinds of complexes, and behavior in gen- eral. In some ways our class has been much like an average biology class in that we have dissected the frog, made leaf collections. learned the different parts that make up the various systems of the body. and the diseases connected with them. All in all we have had a profitable year as far as learning to adjust ourselves to the miracus lous occurrences in our ever-changing world.

ART STUDIO Costumed figure and still life drawing and painting are two of the most absorbing and enlightening steps to- ward becoming an artist. For such set-ups provide a hrst-hand study of basic forms and the interesting contrasts of texture, pattern, value, scale, color relationship as well as the rhythmic flow of line which is emphasized in good composition. In the above photograph the Upper School art students, under the direction of their instructor, Tesmar Michel, concentrate on both the costumed figure and still life drawing. The life model flxfiargaret Fosterj is of particular interest since she is wearing the authentic apparel of the Quechua Indian whose locale is the high Sierran Cuzco region of the South American country of Peru. The costume, together with the textiles and pieces included in the still life set-up, are part of the prized collection of Indian and colonial relics which were acquired by Miss Michel during her two years of travel and study in Central and South America on a travelling fellowship awarded her by the School of the Chicago Art Institute. During this year the study and work of the Upper School art classes also included pattern, applied and func- tional design, highlighted by designs for stained glass windows, practical home decoration and clothing and acces- sory design. With emphasis on the accepted fact that the elements of design form the base of all creative fine art, fantastic figures and animals were modelled in clay together with problems in clay which stressed the three- dimensional basic forms. Cartoons in charcoal for paintings and illustrative compositions were particularly well handled by these groups with follow-ups in the various techniques and media. Trips to the Philbrook Art Center for the express purpose of studying painting and drawing techniques and pictorial composition proved especially beneficial. Learning to analyze the works of outstanding artists of the past and present, is a part of the essential background of the artist of the future. Gardner's Art Through the Ages was used as a text for these groups and a file of clippings of the works of famous artists was accumulated and referred to regularly.

GLEE CLUB The Holland Hall Cilee Club, which is under the direction of Nliss Georgia Davis. has had a profitable year. Note singing, harmony, and interpretation are part of the regular program. Exercises for proper breathing are practiced. The group meets on Monday. Tuesday, and Thursday at the activity period. Only classical selections and occasionally hvinns are studied. The Glee Club has accepted several invitations to sing. Its first appearance came on November 24 before the Friends' Class of the First Nlethodist Sunday School. Ar the Holland Hall chapel exercises of November 27, Ann Arnold, Vivia Van Dyne, and Cora Jean Mundy gave several three-part numbers. Nlarilyn Hiclcs accompanied. Ar the assembly ol' January fl, Ann Arnold sang two solos. The Easter assembly of lVlarch 27 was given by the music department. On this occasion the Glee Club rendered Franclos Nation's Prayer, Appalachiaifs I Woii- der as I War1der, Christ Is Risen, and the Negro melody. XVere You There. Ann Arnold. Tam Dudley, and Cora Jean Nlundy gave a very popular number in three parts. Berlin's Easter Parade. The Glee Club will sing at the baccalaureate services of commencement week. Numbers chosen include lflgans Torrents in Summer, Redman's A Prayer, and Dear Land of Home. taken from a choral arrangement of ,, .. . .. .. . lamlandia. by bibellius. The Glee Club feels that there is a big place for music in Holland Hall. The members are proud of the fact that they have served as leaders in a school movement that will grow. The Club is hopeful that by another year l1Tl1l'ty Y5i'rL'l'l1t Lyt: Ili? StlllTL'l'ltS TWC' 1'ISkTng l:K3r enrivllllxent Classes of IHLISTC llPI7rL'CTlltTQ3l1. Page 59 INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC Holland Hall students are fortunate in being able to have piano lessons during the school day. Miss Georgia Davis, who also directs choral work, is the teacher in charge. In addition to the weekly lesson, girls play at least once a month for the group studying music. In May they are to give a recital. Students tak- ing piano at school include: Polly Ambrister, Marie Coyle, Mar- ilyn Hicks, Nancy Lackey, Adelaide Lyon, Gayle Babcock, Donna Joye Carson, Carolyn Cremin, Julie Francis, Jacque Elaine Lair, lVlarian Long, Lenora Nlorgan, and Linda Schoenfeld. Also under Miss Davis, direction is the rhythm band of the Lower School. First, second, and third grade pupils compose the hand. A rhythm band not only teaches rhythm, but supplies a great deal of pleasure to the performers and makes a surprisingly pleasing number on a music program. The band has met once a week during the second semester. The members of the band were enormously thrilled when they were invited to play the Coronation lVlarcl1 at the May fete.

ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Ar the beginning of the second semester the Athletic Association was reorganized. At a special student assembly in January Marilyn Lindsay was elected president. Other ofilicers held over from the first semester. Qnly a senior can be elected to the high office of president or a captaincy, but any girl in the Upper School may become a co- captain. Oflicers of the organization form the athletic council or board. This year the vice-president, secretary, and treasurer were chosen within the athletic council. Meeting with the council is a representative from the Lower School, this year Martha Canterbury. An ex-officio member is the president of the Upper School student council, this year Nlarion lVlclVlillin. A captain has special duties. She is responsible for seeing that the girls of her team are in their correct positions for Frida intra-mural la . She must be able to referee or take char e of a ame and assist the instructor in the Y P Y g g kee in of attendance. The co-ca tainls duties are e uall im ortant. She must assist her ca tain in lacin P g P q Y P P P g players in their positions, check the gym lockers to see that they are neat, and be ready at all times to perform the duties of the ca tain if she is absent. P The athletic council meets every Thursday morning after chapel with Mrs. Ekey, athletic director. They dis- cuss and plan the physical education classes and the Friday intra-mural play period to make them more interesting and to ensure greater participation. A main project of the year is the preparing a constitution, by-laws, and a point system in written manual form for publication. With the laying of a Firm foundation for the Athletic Association this year, we are looking forward to many successful years.

We have a great variety of exerf cises which help to strengthen our muscles and take off excess weight. The exercises are done in unison with Mrs. Ekey directing. As far as we have been able to figure out, we take these exercises for three reasons: first, to im- prove our health, second, to improve our posture, and third, because Mrs. Ekey makes us. Cn special occasions Mrs. Ekey brings a small phonograph to gym class. Reducing records are played and we take our exercises to music. Nluch enjoyment is gained either from our music appreciation, our natural pleasure in rhythm, or the unusual squeaks and groans of the ten-year old records. Sometimes we are given five or ten minutes to take individual exercises. Each girl employs the exercises which she thinks she needs the most. These few minutes are appreciated by all. The climax of our work comes when we are given a posture test. We are graded on our ability to stand and walk well, and to do certain exercises correctly. Much time is spent practicing for the test, and the girl who makes an A feels that she has really accomplished something. Although many good-natured complaints are heard about taking exercises, we all enjoy them and feel that they have helped to keep us physically fit.

CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION On Thursday. December 19. came our annual candle-light Christmas carol service. Promptly at live o'cloclc students entered the auditorium by both double doorways and using the long processional made their way to the stage, where they tool: their places about the three Christmas trees. Carols in English, French, and Latin were sung, with Frances 1V1c1Vlillin serving as director. The most keenly anticipated of all the events of the first semester is the crowning of the Christmas queen. This comes immediately following the beautiful carol service. Each year the Christmas queen comes from the junior class. She is chosen by secret ballot by the students of thc entire Upper School. Her identity is withheld until the actual crowning. The honor fell this year to Ruby Webb, who made a very lovely queen. Crown bearer was Ruth Broach, of the first grade, Jean Ache, last year,s queen, placed the crown. The queens of past years are as follows: in 1937, Jane Steinberger fMrs. Thomas Yanceyjg in 1938, Jean McIntyre f1V1rs. Charles C. Gilbertjg in 1939, Jean Gaslcill Q1V1rs. Leroy Mizejg in 1940, Mary Ann Camp fMrs. Wiliiain jacobsjg in 1941, June Scarbor- oughg in 1942, lV1arian Foster, in 1943, Garalene Vandeverg in 1944, Virginia 1V1clV1i1ling in 1945, jean Ache. As in former years. all the students on this occasion contributed money for the Holland Hall hospital bed at St. Johns The money this year amounted to 534397. The donation was handed to the queen by Marion 1V1clV1illin. president of the Upper School Student Council, and by Kaye Creelcmore, representative from the Lower School. The spirit of Christmas as expressed in the carols and in the gift to the hospital bed is deeply felt by all Holland Hall girls. Page 67 9 ,. ., 5 .

MAY FETE The 1947 May fete took the form of a festival of flowers, expressed in song and dance before the May queen, Cadijah Helmerich, and her court. At the micro- phone as narrator was Eddie May Gregory. Planting the seeds were the children of the kindergarten. Early shoots, buds, and Howers Qviolets, crocus, jonquils, tulips, and irisj were represented by dancers from grades one to seven. The fetc was planned and directed by Mrs. Ekey fdancesj, Mrs. Kilier fstory sequencel. and Miss Davis ftnusicj.

HOLLAND HALL RESIDENCE To the students who come from out of town, Oakwold, the school residence is !'l0f merely a dormitory, but a home. Even those of us who have been in residence for se 'eral years never fail to catch cur breath as we start up the long avenue of trees toward home, Unchanging ard reigning with dignity, the mansion-like dwelling rises above all to command a view of the I'l0l7lC woods mind 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- rome us. In the warmer months of early fall or late spring, after the heat of the school room, Oakwold's cool is refreshing. Oakwcld adapts herself to one's mood. For the more thought- ful she offers a walk through fields or woods, and again a feel- ing 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 rules have purposely been made flexible that they may not restrict a group because of the needs of an individual. ,Council meetings are held every two weeks and it is in these that the problems of the house are discussed and solved. The students who live at Oakwold range in age from ten to eighteen and come from all parts of the United States and even from South America. There are girls from Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas, Texas, Arkansas, New York, and Colombia, South America. And these girls, with so varied a background, all learn to live on a spending allowance of 82.50 weekly, to keep an account book, to plan trips, and, what is more im- portant, to carry chem out. After-school hours ofler many diversions, Tennis, swimming. badminton, and walking occupy the more energetic, 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. You are likely, regardless of weather, to see a few seniors in the senior room Finding their recreation at the bridge table. Wfhile classes at Holland Hall are usually dismissed at 3:30, on Wfednesdays we are free at 2:45. The school bus is immediately lilled and takes us rapidly to town for an hour or two of shopping. At 5:00 oiclock we have all assembled at the usual parking lot for the return trip to Oak- wold, The only diversions on school nights are the bi-weekly trips to Claremore by those enrolled in the joint Holland Hall- O.lVl.A. dancing classes under Juana Lee Bell Crouch and the occasional visits to Convention Hall to hear a concert or to take in a play. There is a regular supervised study hall from 7:00 to 9:00 each evening from lVlonday through Thursday, from which only upper class students with outstanding records are exempt. At 9:00 seniors often vary life by a quick game of bridge. Lights are out at 10:00. Weekends are made very pleasant for Oakwold girls. If no play or musical at Convention Hall is scheduled for Friday, there is usually a picture show. Saturday means the luxury of later rising. The afternoon may be devoted to shopping or a movie, or in some cases to skating at the Coliseum. Often the resident students are guests of a classmate living in Tulsa for luncheon or the weekend. On Sunday the school bus or the station wagon takes the girls to the church of their choice and calls for them at the close of the service. Those of us who are to graduate this June will never forget the good times we have had at Oakwold, the friends we have made here, our escapades, or any of the little things that have made Oakwold our home.

UPPER scHooL PLAY The pictures on pages 72 and 73 are scenes from Anne Coulter Nlartens' comedy. Let Me Grow Upf' staged in the Qakwold ballroom the evenings of March 23, 24, and 25. The three-act play was directed by Mrs. D. F. Feagin ihlargery Mayo, 351. Miss Marian Hadley assisted and was in charge of stage crews. Debby Page carried the title role. Briefly the story is this: Lexie fDebby Pagel, though sixteen years old, has been required by her movie-star mother ljulie Parkj to pose as a nine year old so that the mother may not be considered old and thus lose rhe chance of a contract from the visiting movie producer Uoan Storyl. An older sister lpat Chesnutj and brother fliob Andersonl are required to pose as maid and yard-boy. The visiting sailor fffecil Pacel, who has known l,exie chiefly through war-time correspondence, has not been let into the secret and thinks that Lexic has run out on him for an ofiicer. Mary Jo fsally Whitel is Lexie,s girl friend. Arden fSue Nlurrayj is the typical vamp who tries to steal her friend's beau. Aunt Lydia fAdelaide Lyon! is the indispensable substitute for a mother during the real mother's absence in Hollywood. The acting was excellent and the play met with an enthusiastic reception. Production crews and committees included: prompters, June Fletcher, Marie Coyle, stage manager, Ruby Webbg props, Polly Ambrister, makeup, Margaret Foster, Ann Arnoldg business manager, Josephine Davisg publicity, Kitty Ledbetterg ushers, Maurine Johnson lin chargel, Pat Davis, Tam Dudley, Nlartha Hoke, Nancy Lackey, 'Ian Moses, Cora Jean Mundy.

EIGHTH GRADE DRAMATICS CLUB Just ask any eighth grader what her favorite period is, and she will immediately reply, The last period on Mondays and Tuesdays, because that is the hour when the Dramatics Club meetsf' Under the direction of Mrs. Kiker, the club has given the girls a chance to appear in public, and has helped them to develop poise and per- sonality. The Dramatics Club is currently working on three plays, which may be presented later in the year. The first is Fortune is a Cowboyf, a comedy in which Nancy Lackey and Judy Holleman play the parts of two working girls who are unable to Find work and become desperate. They plan tragically to end it all. The second play is a farce, entitled, Mind Over Matter. The cast includes Louise Curran, Priscilla Carter, Jeannie Warren, and Cor- nelia Hall. Party Lines is the third production. The cast has not yet been chosen. The book which the club uses is One Hundred Non-Royalty Playsf' by Kozlenko. Choral readings have been especially popular with the eighth graders this year. They displayed their talents at a Valentine's assembly, when two choral readings, one serious, and one humorous, were given. One of the main events of the year was the annual declamatory contest, which was started by Mrs. Kilmer two years ago. Each girl gave a recitation in prose from two to five minutes long. In the preliminaries the contestants were narrowed down to three. The finals were held on March 27. First place was awarded to Nancy Lackey, second to Priscilla Carter, and third to Louise Curran. The eighth graders have obtained much enjoyment from the Dramatics Club and they feel that they have gained valuable experience both in acting and in public speaking.

LOWER SCHOOL PLAY On Wednesday, February 12, at an all-school assembly, the Junior Dramatics Club presented The Gift Per- fect, a fantasy by Evelyn Billings. The play was repeated later on request at a dinner meeting of the Parents' Association. Mrs. E. Kilcer, sponsor of the club, directed the production, Before the opening of the curtains, the narrator, Jacque Elaine Lair, gave very effectively setting and theme of the fantasy. A picture of Jacque Elaine in this role will be found on page 40 of this volume. When the curtains were drawn, a throne room of a court was revealed. Major characters were: Gayle Goodnough as Queen Ma- thildeg Anne Wolfe, Carolyn Holmes, and Ann Carter as the sons of the queen, Prince Walther, Prince Sigmund, and Prince Valentin. Pat Flint, Patricia Lawson, Sheila Kerlin, Lenora Morgan were ladies-in-waiting to the queen. Other characters were Carolyn Cremin as page boy, Marian Long as the Black Knight, and Jackie Warren as the peasant maiden who with her gift of a sacrificing heart won a prince and a crown, where others with gifts of gold and jewels failed. The richness of stage set and costumes, the smoothness of speech and movement, the earnestness of the actors made this one of the best productions not only of this year but the past several years.

We entered the fifth grade and were destined to make life none too easy for our teachers. We appeared in the Christmas pageant di' rected by Miss Warnock, head of the Lower School, and that meant work! A prcgram directed by Miss Warnock had to be letter perfect and polished beyond the usual amateur pro- duction. It was Miss Warnock who in the old days directed the commencement marching. And, believe me, we MARCHED. Curiously the event that stands out most clearly in our minds from those early days is a class picnic. Our group included Marion and Frances McMillin, Mary Edith Morgan, and Sally Scott. In the sixth grade, under Miss Jackson, who followed Miss Warnock as supervisor of the Lower School, we all helped to put out the newspaper, Holland Hall Stepping Stones. The all-school assembly program of November ZZ, 1940, when we were honored in having as a guest a Public Health Department official, came as a result of our study of pure foods and drugs and as a climax to trips taken to the Public Health Department, cafes, hotels, drug stores, and grocery stores. During the same school year we made visits to the Philbrook Art Museum and to the Tulsa Tribune We gave two all-school assembly programs, Natural Scenic Wonders of the World and An Indian's Day, but we felt that everything else was capped when after a study of Tannhauser, we played in the iirst rhythm band concert given by Holland Hall in recent years. In the seventh grade two new members were added to our class, Marilyn Lindsay and Olive McCollum. It was this year that the Lower School student council was started with Frances McMillin as the first president, Sally Scott as the secretary- treasurer, and Marion McMillin as president the second semester. On October 15 we gave at an all-school assembly the play, The Sheilc's Nephew, that we had written. Class projects this year included a visit to the National Bank of Tulsa and the building of a bank in our homeroom out of screens and a short flight of steps. The most exciting project which we undertook was Hooring the attic. This we achieved in spite of the fact that we had only rafters to walk on. By the time we had finished the floor, we knew the measurements of lumber, had covered the principles of several chapters in our arithmetic, and had greatly improved in accuracy. We used the attic to store our stage properties and more or less as a play house and club room. We were not much afraid of interruption as only the right people cared to climb the ladder. It was this year that we visited Vandever's Department Store, learned about the price advances that followed the attack on Pearl Harbor, and about current war shortages. In an all- school assembly we proved our knowledge of current events by giving an Information, Please. Upper School students wrcte questions to stump us, and if they succeeded, we gave them candy bars. Our class was beginning to get a glimpse of Upper School life with Sally Scott and Frances McMillin representing us on the EIGHT ACRES staff, On May Day, Marion Mc- Millin was our May queen, with Frances McMillin and Marilyn Lindsay as attendants. We were all very proud of them. The eighth grade found the class reduced to Marilyn Lind- say, Marion and Frances McMillin. Frances was president, Marilyn, vice-president, and Marion, secretary-treasurer. Mar- ion was student council representative, and Frances was on the War Effort Committee. Miss Craig was sponsor. The first big event of the year was Field Day, where we sold marshmallows, brownies, and white and chocolate milk. This brought in the first money we had and with the tidy sum of 55.17 we were Page 84 able to open a bank account. We sold good humors several times at the close of school to make money to give a party to welcome the seventh grade into the Upper School. On April 17 we entertained them at Oakwold with a picnic from four to eight o'clock. In the ninth grade, Marilyn Lindsay was the only old timer except for Sally Scott, who had returned to Tulsa after a year's absence. However, Caroline Crenshaw, Margaret Ann Evans, Emily West, and Betty Lou White came to fill the va- cancies. OHicers were Margaret Ann Evans, president, Caroline Crenshaw, secretary, Sally Scott, treasurer, Marilyn Lindsay, student council representative, Margaret Ann Evans, Red Cross representative, Sally Scott, treasurer of student council. Caro- line Crenshaw and Marilyn Lindsay were members of the Camera Club. Miss Elizabeth Irwin, French instructor, was our sponsor. Between football games that year the class made Christmas and Easter cards and decorated paper napkins for servicemen overseas. This was our Red Cross project. At assembly on October Z2 the class gave a parody on Ralph Edward's radio program, Truth or Consequencesfl To make money, we set up a concession of cookies for sale after school. In the early spring we gave a hayride for the Upper School, with plenty of apples and popcorn. In the sophomore year we brought our total up to eight whole girls fphysically, at leastj. Class officers this year were Margaret Evans, president, Violetta Brown, vice-president, Marilyn Sexton, secretary, Marion McMillin, treasurer, Miss Craig sponsor. Highlight of the year was the party given by Mrs. Ache for the girls in her home and the dinner given by the class in honor of the seniors at Marilyn Lindsay's home. The class started its junior year with six old faces and four new cnes. Among the veteran students were Jean Ache, Mar- garet Evans, Maurine johnson, Kitty Ledbetter, Marion Mc- Millin, 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. For the third year Mar- garet Evans was elected president. Serving with her were Marion McMillin, vice-president, Jean Ache, secretary, Pat O'Shea, treasurer. jean Ache was elected vice-president of the student council. Miss Sharp was our sponsor. When Christmas came around, the event that all juniors were looking forward to was the crowning of the Christmas queen. This honor fell tc ,lean Ache, than whom there has never been a lovelier queen. We have enjoyed being seniors. We have an addition of four' new members, BeeBe Dunivan, Marilyn Lindsay, who re- turns after a year's absence, Jean Newton, and Jessie West- phal. Jean Ache is president of our senior class, Marion McMillin, president of the student council. Miss Walker is the very popular sponsor. Jean Newton is president of the Oak- weld council and ex-officio member of the school student coun- cil. Also on the Oakwold council are Maurine Johnson, sec- retary, and Marilyn Sexton, treasurer. Maryanne Harwood is editor of MISS HOLLAND HALL and EIGHT ACRES. Mary Louise Hall is associate editor on our publications staff, was manager of the Ads Contest for 1947 EIGHT ACRES, and is president oft the Camera Club. Marilyn Lindsay is president of the Athletic Association. Last fall each' senior chose from the eighth or ninth grade a student as protege. In keeping with the class song, Blue Champagne, the proteges were called Bubbles Believing such a plan has value for the school, the Class of '47, on de- parting, leaves to succeeding senior classes this tradition.

It's already 11:30, and there are no signs of her. fAt this Jean Ache, Jr., who has been curling her eye- lashes turns around and speaks.J Jean Ache, Jr.: Well, Stubby, you know how some people crave dates. Stubby, Jr.: I'm sure if I never see another man, it's all right with me. I'm sure I don't understand Mother's enthusiasm for the opposite sex. I guess it was just fate that she had so many sons. There's my brother Steve, and Bill, and Johnny, then Simmons, Fred, and Bobby. Jean Ache, Jr.: You know how pokey my mother is. Well, she was the last one in her class to get married. lEnter Jessie, Jr., and Marion, Jr., Jessie, Jr.: Ye gods, Mac, what are you doin'? Marion, Jr.: Well, my mom tells me not to smoke, so when she's out on the highway working for the W.P.A., I get in my moments of relaxation. I Jessie, Jr.: By the way, whatever made your mother become a W.P.A. worker? Marion, Jr.: Wfell, Ma says she always has liked to work around men and now's her chance! Besides that, she writes poetry. Jean Ache, Jr.: Really! Marion, Jr.: Yes, something about a guy named Dimmy or Dummy or something. lWe hear a crash, bang, boom, pssss. What can it be?J Moe, Jr. fwho enters working her hands faster than her mouthi : Guess what, you kids! Our beautiful blue limousine just collapsed! You remember hearing how in '47 Grandmother had to have the horn disconnected? Well, now Mother has to have the motor disconnected. Just think, our family heirloom! Jean Ache, Jr.: I remember my mother was afraid to ride in it! Moe, Jr.: Come on, Stubby, help me push the old buggy to the garage. fExit Moe, Jr., with Stubby, Jr.l Maurine, Jr.: I sure do get tired painting my fingernails. Jessie, Jr.: Oh, I cut them down to three inches. I've quit bitin' them since Papa Aliwishus doesn't like it. I'm going to get something to eat. I sure hope that cheesy Mrs. Hansel doesn't catch me. fExit Maurine, Jr. 1 Jean Newton, Jr. fcarrying stacks of booksj: Say, I wonder where she is. fEnter Marilyn Lindsay in huge-size football uniform.1 Marilyn Lindsay: One, eight, ten, twelve, hut-that's the spirit! Let's keep the play in line. Jean Newton, Jr.: Why, Lindsay. Marilyn Lindsay: Where's my daughter? Jean Newton, Jr.: I guess Hardy is keeping her out pretty late. Marilyn Lindsay: Oh, well, if it's a football player, that's all right. When she comes in, send her up to the gym. fExit Lindsay,l All: O. K. Jean Ache, Jr.: Say, Monkey Face, what's the new project? Jean Newton, Jr.: Well since Mom became the editor of the Encyclopedia Britannica, I've been helping her make a survey on the average number of hairs in the tail of an Aberdeen Angus cow. Jean Ache, Jr.: Here come Kitty and Maryanne. lKitty, Jr., comes in direct from kitchen, storming. She pushes Jean's books over and plops herself down on the couch.J Kitty, Jr.: Gee, this sure is rotten food! fAs she consumes her fourth sandwich.l Oh, well, that's to be expected of Lindsay. Maryanne, lr.: I could draw better food than this faster. fEnter Mary Louise, Jr.1 Kitty, Jr.: Well, who's kidding who? Mary Louise, Jr. fwith slow dictionjz Well, whatever do you mean, dearie? Jean Ache, Jr. and Jean Newton, Jr. fsingingl: Mine eyes have seen the glory of the Cow, Cow, Boogie! All lchiming inl: Cow, Cow, Boogie! Mary Louise, Jr. fdisplaying her slipi: How do you like my new lingerie? lThis she pronounces lyn-giree 1. This is the way they wear them in NEW YORK. lEnter Joan, Jr.J Joan, Jr.: Calling Dr. Kilroyy-! Calling Dr. Kilroyy-! Mary Louise, Jr.: My dear, whatever are you doing? Joan, Jr.: I'm just practicing for when I get to be a nurse like Mother. Mother says it is so romantic working side by side with a wonderful doctor like Charlie. lEnter BeeBe, Jr., dramatically.J Kitty, Jr.: Well, what have you been doing? Or should I ask? BeeBe, Jr.: I've been to see Ingrid Bergman in Bill's Other Wife. Maryanne, Jr.: You look feverish. Maybe you ought to have your temperature taken. BeeBe, Jr.: Boy, did Bergman ham it up! Mother certainly could have given a better performance-she tells me so every day. This is the way Mother would do it. Un the assumed role she crosses the stage as the curtains close.J Page 91 Class of 1946, front to rear, left to right: Nelda Wells, Mary Jane Feemster, janey Porter, Rita Pettigrew, Nancy Jo Canary, Rosie Brown, Sue Woodring, Barbara Riley, Betty White, Mimi White, Eileen Maloney, Ellen McEwen, Mary Alma Porter, Mary Ellen Waters, Virginia McMillin, Barbara Bach, Sue Martin.

Another valuable enterprise is the com- piling of an up-to-date alumnae directory. Virginia Arnold Teale fMrs. Herman Tealej deserves the credit for this time- consuming undertaking. The Association has worked in close cooperation with Dr. Tomes, director of Holland Hall. In the fall Mrs. Teale gave a coffee introducing her to the Alumnae Board. In the spring the new Board met in the home of Mrs. Corbett with Dr. Tomes as guest. The Association is participating in many school projects. On Field Day there was an alumnae booth. In the fall the alumnae invited seniors to hear rep- resentatives from various colleges speak, at a tea at Oalcwold.

Many shrieks can be heard when Hugh Davis, curator for the Mohawk Zoo, shows the girls a moving picture of wild life and some real snakes. Today upper class girls are cleverly brought back to child- hood again as they listen to the short stories told by Mrs. Thomas B. Leech fMary Veasey, '24l. oc'roBER , What! A MAN in the school? It is Mr. Charles R. Fellows with a report of life in China. Mr. Fellows, a Tulsa attorney, served in the war crimes trials in Shanghai. Never let it be said that Holland Hall overlooks dogs.

Perhaps it would be best to say that school spirit is not merely a word with a meaning, but a word with a feeling. It's that exultant some- thing inside of you when the Sakawas beat the Wanatas or the Wanatas beat the Sakawas in a hard-fought game. It's the warmth of proudness that creeps up on you when you march into assembly hall singing. At commencement it's the little shivers you feel as an old class passes on and a new one moves up to take its place. Behind it all is an unswerving loyalty and love for the friends with whom you work and play. Does our school have school spirit? An excellent way to ob- tain this information would be to ask any student casually what she thinks of Holland Hall. If she answers quickly and decisively, you can be sure she enjoys and is completely aware of the fine privileges the school offers. If lacking, how can this spirit be obtained? It's really very simple. A little observation and concentration is all that is needed. The girls who recently of their own accord wrote several school songs showed genuine interest and a keen sense of loyalty. They didn,t write these songs merely for the glory, but because they like to sing with their friends about something they all love. And it's these girls we should all be proud of, for they are helping to promote a feeling of good fellowship and a common interest which every school needs. So how about it? Can we be a little more aware of the finer things at Holland Hall and make the school spirit that we already have grow till it motivates every activity and is felt far beyond the confines of our own campus?

TOMES BECOMES DIRECTOR OF HOLLAND HALL This magazine is honored in presenting to its readers Dr. Cornelia Tomes, who beginning with the fall of 1946 assumed the directorship of Holland Hall. Dr. Tomes comes to Tulsa from Hockaday School, Dallas, where for two years she served as academic head. She brings to her new position at Holland Hall unusually fine training and an unusually wide experience in administrative worlc. She received her A. B. and M. A. degrees from the University of Washington, her Ph. D. from Columbia University. She is a Phi Beta Kappa, a Pi Lambda Theta, and a Kappa Delta Pi. She has served as assistant in curriculum and teaching at Teachers College, Columbia University, where she assisted with experimental teacher education programs. Before going to Dallas she was associate professor of education at Michigan State College. where she taught courses in child growth and development and in methods and trends in teaching. She was a member of the Michigan Curriculum Planning Committee, which helped in planning the state educational program. She has had experience as principal in elementary and junior high school. This summer she was on the staff of Teachers College, Columbia University. where she taught in the department of youth educa- tion. The staff of MISS HOLLAND HALL was much pleased when Dr. Tomes consented to write the guest editorial for this issue. 8 November.1946 - Miss HOLLAND HALL DITORIAL BUILDING FOR TOMORROW ON THE FOUNDATION LAID YESTERDAY- HOLLAND HALL'S GOAL TODAY Holland Hall has a rich tradition, one that should be carried on. The belief in good education and the earnest effort of the parents, the teachers, and the students have built an educational organization of which they may well be proud. The Holland Hall that hasl been and is today is important. But what of tomorrow? Education everywhere is being challenged and tradition alone will not meet this challenge. The forces that brought the dawn of the atomic age are bringing to education new problems and new developments. The implications of these forces for education are far-reaching. Our schools are facing the need for curriculum reconstruction and the need for program improvement. The critical evaluation of the content of our course offerings is a major task and is resulting in a new em- phasis in many areas: science, health and physical fitness, history, inter-cultural relations, global geography, English, and others. New and well-prepared instruc- tional materials are being developed to aid in the learning process. Educational programs must not only ensure the mastery of the fundamental tools of learning but must provide experiences which will develop the ability to utilize facts and in- formation in making valid decisions. Today's students must be ready to assume their places in tomorrow's world and willing to accept the responsibilities that may come their way. The Woman of Tomorrow must be a complex person, thinking of the past and of the important things it has given which she must cling bo, looking forward, choosing, planning, building. Her road is no easy one to walk. She must see what'has been right and good, what she must hold to, where new ventures lead, what to lay aside, what to build toward. Through educational planning, opportunities for this growth and development may be provided. Private schools supported by the belief that investment in education insures a prosperous tomorrow can lead in good educa- tion. Will Holland Hall be a school to which each alumna may point with pride, increasing pride, because it has grown in ideals and in educational soundness? Wdl it be a school of which she can say, It made me a finer person, it will make my daughter a liner personv? This is the challenge Holland Hall offers to every student, every parent, every alumna, every teacher: pride in Holland Hall today, increasing pride and satis- faction tomorrow. MISS HOLLAND HALL - November,1946 Owsxmmxxxx 111111111 1111111113 kmxxmmmxm Feature Story QUICK MCDNEY The night was cold and wet with a strong wind from the north. The month was early November and it was exception- ally raw, even for late fall. The drunken tramp was hunched and with his thin worn coat drawn close around his emaciated body, he walked slowly down the deserted street. His head was covered with an old, old hat, pulled down over his eyes, eyes that held a look of guilt, sorrow, exasper- ation, and unhappiness. Somehioiw even through his drunk- eness, old clothes, and the slinky sort of way he walked, one could tell that at one time he had been a well-dressed man of fairly high standing. Deep in his eyes there was intelligence combined with thoughtfulness, and though obscured, if one had a chance to look close enough, and long enough, they were easily distinguished. As the wind did not seem so strong next to the building, the tramp walked slowly along, huddled close to it, his head and eyes down, as if ashamed, Suddenly he raised his head and his eyes fell on the neon sign of George's Bar. Quickly he glanced around him, then moved silently to the door and inside. He sno-od in a smoke-filled room, heavy with the odor of beer and whisky. As he glanced around the room, a spark of recognition flickered across his face. His lips drew into a tight smile as he hurried across the room to a table at which sat two other shabbily dressed men. He pulled a chair from the table and dropped into it. As he slumped over the table, a sign of relief showed in his face and he seemed to be at ease. The three men began to talk in low voices and as the con- versation progressed, there were reflected many expressions in the faces of the two men first at the table. One of the ti-amps wore a knitted sailor's hat and a moth-eaten turtle-necked sweater. To look at him you would think perhaps he had once been a navy man in good standing. Perhaps he had deserted or maybe he had been wounded in battle making it impossible for him to go on. As he knew no other way to make a living, he merely existed as well as he could. He sat at the table leaning over a large glass of watery looking beer and as he drank and talked, one saw in his face the signs of hardship, despair, and pain. The other, who was more slouchy than the Hrst, wore no hat and his dark hair hung in his eyes. The neck of his dirty, worn shirt hung open and the sleeves were rolled to his elbows. Somehow he looked as if he had never amounted to anything at all. He looked lazy and shift- less and incapable of hard work, or any real work at all, for that matter. In his face one could see mostly greed, grief, and guilt, as he sat with his chin in one hand and the other hand on a bottle of cheap whisky. As each man unfolded the story of his life, he remembered the little things and the big things, the happy times and the 10 sad times. As the third man, whom we shall call Mr. J., listened, a smile fiickered across his face and he seemed to muse and turn over in his mind each story as it was laid before him. Perhaps he was so much interested in their stories because his own story was so different: it was so rare to find a life story like his, so interesting, so full of unusual incidents. and then too so sad and pitiful. Mr. told this story: When I graduated from college, I took, on recommenda- tion, a job as a field man for Woodroffe Petroleum Company. This was a very large concern and they had extensive fields in South America. As I had always been interested in that coun- try and they needed men there, I decided to take the place. I hadn't married, so I had no worries as to whether living con- ditions were such that I could take a wife there. Though the company furnished a place for their employees to live, at that time they had no available place for a man and his family. I decided I was much better off and as soon as the necessary arrangements had been made, I left on a company plane for the town where I was to work. It was a fairly large sized town, called Sarmento, in Chili. The conditions in Sarmento were very good and I was very happy there. Since all single men working for the company lived in one large rooming house, we had many parties and there was always a bunch of us that went out at night. Of course this made it much easier for us and we all got along very well. I was very much pleased with my work and had been complimented many times by the foreman, which was very unusual. All went exceptionally well until one day a strange man came to the rooming house and asked to see me. When he to-ld me his name was Thomas Stevens, I re- membered him as the son of the very rich oil man who had owned most of the small town I was brought up in. Of course I was very glad to see him since he was from home-even though I had not liked him as a boy. Tom Stevens put before me this proposition: There was a map of a certain reserve oil field which he wanted desperately. It seemed that his father expected their present fields to go dry within the next ten to twenty years. So they wished to buy this reserve field, which would be sufficient to keep the company going for quite some time after that. Very few people even in our company knew of this field and there was only one map in existence. Tom Stevens had at first gone to a Miss Cunningham, who was the head of the drafting depart- ment. He had offered her Eve hundred for the map since it would have been very easy for her to get it. However, on her refusal, he told her he would get it some way. It was then he November,1946 - MISS HOLLAND HALL came to me. Since the Woodroffe people had not yet officially bought this land, Mr. Stevens hoped to go over their heads in secret and buy it first. He thought that it should be fairly easy for me to get a copy of this map since I was one of the key field men. He was willing to pay me one thousand dollars if I succeeded in getting a copy of it. I became more interested as he laid before me a plan by which I could get the map. After all, one thousand dollars was a lot of money and for me it would come in very handy. The plan was fool-proof and so easily carried out that I ac- cepted his offer, even knowing that I might lose my job or perhaps be put in the penitentiary if I was caught. Mr. Stevens gave me five hundred of the one thousand as soon as I accepted and we agreed that I should receive the rest on Mr. Stevens' receipt of the map. That evening I was in high spirits and as the other boys were going out, I decided to go with them. Everyone had a high time that night and most of us were a bit stewed by the time we reached home. There had been a poker game on in the back room of the bar where we were, so I thought I would try my hand at increasing my five hundred. Of course I lost it all. The next day I proceeded with the plan to get the map. While talking with the foreman I approached the subject of a new field, if we were going to get one and where it was. He nook me into his confidence and told me about this reserve field. He promised to take me on the survey trip of the land. As the trip was to be made in the near future, I worked hard and kept in close touch with the foreman. We became very good friends and when it came time for the trip, I was made his right hand man. I was to help him with the charting and photography. This made it perfectg it had been even easier than I thought. I had a reason to have a map of the region and the field. This I copied neatly and carefully charted the locations of oil. When we returned from the trip, I turned the map over to Mr. Stevens and received my second live hundred. How- ever, while we were gone, some complications had arisen. It seemed that Miss Cunningham had reported almost word for word her conversation with Mr. Stevens and the company ex- pected someone to try to get a map for him. They investigated and found that I had given a copy to him. Immediately I lost my job without any recommendations. Since I knew no other trade, it was hopeless for me to try to get a job. How- ever, I lived as best I could as long as I could on the five hundred I had left. When that was gone, I had nothing. Now I live on money from mowing lawns and repairing odds and ends for people. One would never think now that I hold a college degree. FROM CALI TO NEGRITOS By Marie Coyle lGrade 105 From Cali, Colombia, to Negritos, Peru, is a seven-hour flight trip. I made just such a trip when my father was transferred from Colombia to Peru. The course is charted over what seems like an endless chain of mountains. Some of the loftier peaks are snow-capped and it's a beautiful, breath- taking sight to see. Sometimes we were flying in the clouds and couldn't see a thing. When we were in the clouds, the plane hit a.n air- pocket and my father said that we had hit the equator, as we were just about where the equator is supposed to be. When we Finally got our of the clouds, we looked down and saw vast stretches of jungle. Pretty soon the jungle faded away and MISS HOLLAND HALL - November,1946 we began to see houses, then more houses. The light flashed for us to fasten our seat-belts and we started going down, down, down. Soon we were close enough to see little cars moving on the streets. It looked like a toy village. It seemed as'if we circled the town a couple of times, then we were set down gently. We were now in the city of Guayaquil, Ecuador. After spending about twenty minutes at the airport, we were on our way again. On one side we could see the ocean, on the other mountains. Soon we turned inland and again were flying over mountains, but this time we were looking at vol- canoes. Some were smoking and on the sides of others we could see lava and debris from recent eruptions. At last we were out of the mountains and were flying over the ocean. Nothing but water, water, water everywhere. just then the steward brought dinner on a tray. It looked rather tempting, but after hitting airpockets all morning, I decided that I really didn't want to eat. I rang the little bell and the steward came and took the tray. I looked out the window, but all I could see was water, so I sat back and relaxed. Then for the first time I really began to notice the people who were in the plane-the fat lady sitting across who was air-sick, up front the lady and the little girl who were going to Peru, and the handsome man sitting back of me. I must have grown drowsy, for the next thing I knew, the steward was trying to waken me and was announcing that it was time to fasten my seat-belt. Looking out, to my surprise, I found that we were about to land in a desert surrounded by oil wells. As we landed, I noticed a building about as big as a minute, which proved to be the airport. I was at my journey's end, for in big letters over the entrance were the words, Negritos, Peru. SQUIRRELS By Sue Murray lGrade 111 There are many squirrels around Huntsville. It's a small place with pre-civil war trees, a perfect place for squirrels to run and play, flying from branch to branch, cussing out blue- jays in their funny squirrel way. Soon they started coming to my grandfather's cabin. We'd go and sit out on the porch, around which my grandfather had placed pecans and walnuts. We'd sit motionless and in a little while weid see a small head pop around one of the brick posts, a couple of big brown eyes would peer suspiciously about, and then the little fellow would quickly grab one of the nuts and scamper back to a safer position some ten feet away. Here he'd sit down, arch his tail over his back, take his booty out of his big cheeks, and hold it between his paws. Then he'd start rotating the nut with his paws while his teeth sheared off the very top of the shell. With the top off, he'd use his long front teeth to dig out the meat of the nut. As the years went by, we found many regular customers. There was an old albino, pure white even up to his eyes, who was very highly skilled at walking upside down along telephone cables. But the one best loved was a little fellow who didn't have any hair on his tail. We called him Old Rat-Tail. He got to be something of a pet. Grandfather would come into the house with that squirrel on his shoulder and announce, Old Rat-Tail's visiting us again. And Old Rat-Tail would scamper around the house and chatter at the cook, and then go back to my grandfather to inquire whether he had any nuts in his pockets. Grandfather passed away. We still scattered pecans around the house, but Grandfather's little friends did not come back. 11 X- ,IX XX X ix . i f fain- gl ,ffff 1 , is . lfufffpj, f -A DLX , A ' - - , -5 4'L,,',. SAILBCDATS By Mary Lee Mulhall fGrade 103 Illustrated by Martha Hoke Most people do not know that sailboats were used exclu- sively even for ocean travel as recently as the early l800's. The Cretans built ships for sailing in the Mediterranean Sea. After about 1200 b. c. the Phoenicians were the greatest sailors of ancient times. These ships carried in addition to sails banks of oats and were used in the Mediterranean until the Crusades. The Scandinavians were also great sailors. During the Crusades there were great improvements made in sailing vessels. Sails were improved until oars could be dispensed with. About this same period Mediterranean nav- igators learned to use the magnetic compass and astrolabe, which was an instrument designed to show the position of the stars, and were now equipped to sail the high seas. Men were now attempting to find new sea routes to the Orient. Diaz and Da Gama, for instance, sailed for India by way of south Africa and Columbus at this period crossed the Atlantic to America. Later England became known as the mistress of the seas and sailing vessels were used as merchantmen and war ships alike. The Yankee clippers of the 1840's and 50's were sailing vessels and were known the world over for their beauty and speed. In the closing decade of the eighteenth century many ex- periments were made with steam propelled boats. Within twelve years after Robert Fulton's Clermont went up the Hudson, a steamship had crossed the Atlantic. Today the Queen lVlary, Queen Elizabeth, and others cross the ocean in four or five days. The poet, John Masefield, in his suggestive poem, Car- goes, describes three types of ships: the ancient vessel of the Mediterranean with five banks of oars, the great sailing vessels of the sixteenth century, and the steam barge: Quinquireme of Nineveh from distant Ophir, Rowing hio-me to haven in sunny Palestine, With a cargo of ivory And apes and peacocks, Sandalwood, cedarwood, and sweet white wine. Stately Spanish galleon coming from the Isthmus, Dipping through the Tropics by the palm-green shores With a cargo of diamonds, Emeralds, amethysts, Topazes, and cinnamon, and gold moidores. Dirty British coaster with a salt-caked smoke stack, Butting through the channel in the mad March days With a cargo of Tyne coal, Road rails, pig lead, Firewood, ironware, and cheap tin trays. Although around Egypt and the eastern part of the Med- iterranean sailboats are still used for carrying merchandise, the sailboat is known today primarily as a pleasure boat. In 12 America we consider sailing one of our greatest sports. In this part of the country we use small sailboats such as snipes, lightnings, dingheys, sloops, stars, and Cape Cod knockabouts. Each has its own specifications to be called a classed boat and to be eligible to race in its class. Wherever there is a yacht club, point score races are held in classes popular in that particular area. The winners for the season are eligible to attend the national and international races for their class, which are held annually. At the Sequoyah Yacht Club in Mohawk Park north of Tulsa there are several types of boats. The snipe is the most popular racing boat in Tulsa. To be eligible to be called a class boat and to compete in point-score races, the snipe must be fifteen feet, six inches long, have a beam of Eve feet and have a sail area of the main sail of one hundred square feet. There must be five boats in a race at least to call it an official race. The racing committee calls together a skippers' meeting before the race in order to give the rules of the race and to determine where the starting and finishing lines will be. The race committee then starts the race by raising a white Hag for five minutes before the start, a blue Hag for three minutes, and a yellow flag for the actual start. The course is about three miles and entrants get points for their position at the finish. There is a great deal of work connected with sailing. If boats are kept in the water, the bottom of the boat must be in perfect shape. Most boat owners work on their boats every week-end. It takes several hours of work for each hour of sailing. In the winter boats must be calked and paintedg rigging must be repaired, sails must be mended. Sailing calls for real skill. Each snipe carries a skipper who handles the main-sail and one person for crew. The crew handles the jib-sail. Teamwork must be learned before a boat can hope to win a race. On week-ends there are many families at the Yacht Club. Holland Hall has two girls who have boats there. Debby Page has a boat and it is seen regularly participating in the races. L. A. Mulhall has a boat there and his daughter, Mary, is usually out at the Yacht Club racing with her father or on the dock rooting for her boat. Caroline Clarke often comes out and joins Debby or Mary in the races. Every yacht club has a regatta almost every year with races and a banquet. Members of the Sequoyah Yacht Club of Tulsa have attended the regatta in Dallas. Two members, John Hayward and Conrad Lambert, won the national snipe races in Florida this spring. Mr. Hayward participated in the international snipe races at Chautauqua Lake this fall. To anyone who loves a sport that requires skill, that keeps you out in the open, and that affords clean competition with wonderful people, I recommend sailing. November,1946 - MISS HOLLAND HALL - 3.1- ':f - 1 ' ' - Ad - u Vinland the Good is a story of the discovery of America. by Leif Ericson in IOO3 a. d. The author is Nevil Shure, during the late war a lieutenant commander in the Royal Naval Reserve, attached to the British Admiralty. When some years ago he read about this early exploration, he became so fascinated by the adventure that it stayed in his mind. In 1939 he put a little of the story into a novel. Then in 1944, when he had some extra time from war duties, he wrote this more complete story. The book is written in the form of a movie script, as he didnlt want to make two novels on the same subject. Curiously the story is mold as a lesson in American history being taught to a class of young boys in an English public school fin America, called a private schooll. Up until this time only Greek, Latin, and other age-old subjects had been taught in these conservative institutions. The new ruling that United States' history is to be taught in their school system finds the headmaster and his assistants at a loss. Finally it is decided that Major Callendar. a returning young veteran, shall teach the class. When Callendar arrives at the school, the headmaster tells him his assignment, takes him to the class-room, and introduces him to the boys. This is Major Callendarf' he says. I am sure you will all join with me in giving him a hearty welcome. And-la little threateninglyj-I am sure that you will do everything you can to make things easy for him. The boys grin slyly, evidently intending just the reverse. The headmaster retires to the adjoining room, leaving the door open a half inch. During the next fifteen minutes we see Callendar and his charges in a tug of wits. One of the humorous chapters of the book is this scene in which every device known is used by the boys to side-track the new master and disrupt the lesson without deviating from outward polite- ness. Callendar keeps his wits, does not allow himself to be side-tracked, keeps his temper and cordiality and makes his presentation so intensely interesting that after that first fifteen minutes he carries the boys completely away on his story. He tells them that the discovery of America began when MISS HOLLAND HALL - November,1946 a fiery Norwegian called Eric, the Red, was exiled from his native country. Eric was not such a bad man, but when he lost his temper, he usually fought in a mad fury. This hap- pened quite often and it was on one of these occasions that he killed a man. They had been fighting over the man's wife, whom Eric stole. As a result of this murder, Eric was tried by an assembly of men known as the Thing. The Thing was presided over by the pagan priest, called Godi. He was assisted by a council of elders called Thingmen. These administered justice in accordance with the laws of the land. These trials are quite like our trial by jury. Their sentence was that Eric should be an outlaw, banished from their country along with his father, Torvald. Eric left Norway and went to northern Iceland. After several years again his fiery temper seized control of him and in a quarrel resulting from his changing the course of a stream he killed two men. As in Norway, he was exiled by the Thingmen, It was in south Iceland that he next settled. However, after a short time his temper was aroused once more. He quarreled over the possession of some valuable hand- carved wood and in the fight four men were killed. Upon being exiled from south Iceland, he again set out for another country. This journey ended on the southern tip of Green- land. The years pass. Eric and his small company have done their best to develop the barren lands of Greenland. When it finally becomes necessary to have supplies, he decides to send his son, Leif, now grown, to Norway. In the course of his journey Leif has to spend several months in the Orkneys, islands to the north of Scotland. Here he meets and falls in love with Thorgunna, daughter of the king. After leaving the Orkneys, he does not see her again, but she bears him a son, Thorgils, whom she sends to him in Greenland when he is old enough. In Norway King Olaf gives him back his citizenship and undertakes to help him. That is, he will send manufactured goods to Greenland once a year in return for a ship-load of furs, walrus hides, sea ivory, and such other things as they can send. He undertakes to receive Greenland under his protection as a colony provided the colony will accept Chris- tianity. He urges Leif to seek the land to the southwest of Greenland, which Leif says has been sighted by a boat-load of their men. Following his return to Greenland, Leif and a boat-load of companions set out to find the new land. They eventually land at Cape Cod. Leif sends two fleet runners on an ex- ploring trip through the country. They return bringing with them some grapes. It was from these wild grapes that the small party devised the name, Vinland the Good, for the new land. The lesson hour is all but over. The boys have followed with keen interest as the master traced on his map each move of the Norse explorer. As the class is dismissed, the boys pour out talking excitedly and enthusiastically about the new history course. However, the ancient headmaster, who has listened from the adjoining room, can not adapt himself to a new subject in the curriculum or this new style of teaching. He suggests that Major Callendar take a job in Paris selling razors instead of teaching school. Vinland the Good not only presents an important period of history, but suggests how old customs cling to the English and how new ideas have to struggle against the traditional in education. 13 4-if ,42-45 ROMANCE By Julie Flint fGrade Ill It was on a cool summer evening that I went out to dinner with my family and several family friends. It was later in the evening that I was sitting there noticing how much fun the older people were having. I even recognized for the first time how much fun it was to be with them. I looked at another table. It was over in a corner. A young girl and boy were sitting there talking and gazing at each other. I began to wonder if love is only for youth. I realized that older people know what love is, yet they never seemed to show it. The lights grew dim and the orchestra began to play. It was a familiar and well loved piece such as Night and Dayf, I happened to glance toward the end of the table and I saw an older man glance across the table and give a simple, but loving, understanding, and memorable look to his wife. I turned quickly away, for I was embarrassed to have noticed this look. Yet it gave me my answer: I knew now that love may bloom in different ways, that there may be true love at any age, at any period of a person's life. WHEN SUMMER IS GONE By Ruby Webb fGrade 113 Do you ever have a feeling of loneliness in that time of the year called autumn? Everything around you seems to be dying. The leaves iof the trees are turning brown and then falling to the ground. The moaning wind rustles the curled- up leaves, and the wood, stripped of its beautiful foliage, stands desolate. All the flowers closed up long ago and then bent their tall stately stems to the cold earth. The brilliant colors show no more. The cold rain comes down, but the flowers do not rise. You can't hear the birds anymore. They have migrated to warmer regions, where things are alive, and where they will be able to find food. All the animals have closed themselves up in their winter homes, but next spring they will be seen again. The birds will come back, the flowers will bloomg new leaves will clothe the trees. Then everything will be alive again and you will wonder if earth really ever changed. WHAT'S WHAT By Barbara McGill fGrade 97 At the age of three I visited Colorado for the first time in my life. My aunt lived in Manitou, near Colorado Springs, so it was natural that we should stay with her. One beautiful afternoon my parents and brother decided to take the trip up Pike's Peak, so I was left alone with my aunt. I was satisfied: I really preferred staying behind with my aunt because we had so much fun together. For some strange reason I could not pronounce the word, what, so my aunt's goal was to surprise Mother by having me say it correctly. Trying to teach me to say what instead of yor was a real task, requiring patience and fortitude. When she had worked for some time, she hoped that I might have absorbed some of her coaching and the lesson stopped. Now my aunt's method of teaching was fquotejz Make a blowing sound before you say 'Yot. ' Later in the day, when my parents returned, Auntie prompted me to tell what I had learned. But after the relaxing effects of a long nap I was no longer interested in her ambitious plans. In an unconcerned tone I finally turned to her and said, You blow and I'l1 say 'Yot. ' 14 A WALK IN THE WOODS By Suzanne Lindsay fGrade 7? As I ventured into the woods one day, I st-opped astounded. What was this miraculous thing before me? It moved and Huttered into a large tree. Perched now on one of the highest branches it ruffled its crimson wings. Its golden bill sparkled in the sunshine. As I turned around, a squirrel scampered past me, scrambled up a tree and into a small hole. The surroundings blended beautifully. The emerald green grass shone, wild flowers of various colors bowed to me in the breeze. I decided then that I need not look any farther for Mother Nature's children. A SPOOKY NIGHT By Patricia Lawson fGrade 61 It was night and all was quiet as I lay there thinking. Then all of a sudden I heard a noise right outside my door. It sounded like somebody walking around. The sound came closer and closer. Finally I couldn't stand it any longer. I crept out of my bed and began crawling to Mother's room because I was trembling so. At last I reached her room. She and Daddy were asleep. Oh, how I wished I did.n't have to wake them! But I did. Daddy got up and walked into my room. Are you ready? he asked. Then I'l1 open your closet cloorf' He did so and there in the trap was a wee mouse, that had caused all the commotion. FALL September-By Carolyn Cremin 4Grade 4D September is a happy month, when vacations are over and boys and girls start back to school. September is the ninth month of the year, but long ago it was the seventh month, and that is the reason it was called September. Septem in Latin means seven.', October-By Sheila Kerlin fGrade 41 Ocuober received its name from the number eight in Latin and was the eighth month then. Now it is the tenth month. I like October because in this month Halloween comes and the leaves turn red, yellow, orange, and brown. November-By Jacque Elaine Lair fGrade Sl November is now the eleventh month of the year, but long ago it was the ninth month. Novem in Latin means nine. November brings us two special holidays, Armistice Day and Thanksgiving. GOD'S ANSWER By Judy Holleman fGrade 83 It was a heavenly night in the mountains. Like a spotted dress the sky looked with its dazzling pin-point stars. The mountains loomed somewhat foreboding, but with the majestic grace of the Rockies. The melodious sounds of the birds were in harmony with the swaying trees. Like a banner of gold the full moon shone between two fits. It was God's answer to an artist's dream. fContinued to page 27D November,1946 - MISS HOLLAND HALL AN AUTUMN DANCE By Eddie May Gregory iGrade 7? The leaves come swirling down today, In a madcap dance they gaily sway, Crimson, amber, brown in hue Flickering 'neath a sky of blue, Swirling, whirling in a dance The autumn's beauty they enhance. LYNDA OF SHARAHOFF By Kaye Creekmore 1Grade 75 She tears through the house At the crack of dawn In search of a playmate To drag to the lawn. With schemes in her head And mud on her feet, She reclines on the sofa, Which once was so neat. She ruins the house And digs holes in the lawn, But what would I do If my doggy were gone! THE GREAT OUTDOORS By Gayle Goodnough iGrade Sl I love the great outdoors, And the birds, and trees, and flowers, I love the earth's green floor, And the cooling summer showers.

AUTUMN By Sheila Kerlin fGrade 45 The leaves are fluttering all around, Green, yellow, red, orange, and brown. We know that Mr. Winter is here, The gayest, happiest time of the year. JACK FROST By Ann Carter KG:-ade 43 Jack Frost is such a jolly old fellowg He paints the leaves bright red and yellow, He scatters frost all over the ground And paints the windows all around.

He raises such an awful fussg He sings the whole night through! He has no thought at all for usg His voice is rasping, too! He's such a saucy little cricket, Extremely shrewd and sly, He chirps insulting words at me Whenever I pass by! ALL SOULS' NIGHT By Vivia Van Dyne iGrade 93 Witches on brooms with green-eyed cats Ride round in the night with funny black hats. Below in a window we see a strange sight- Two eyes that emit a weird eerie light, 'Tis only a jack-o-lantern piercing the gloom, A worse looking fright than a witch on a broom Big staring eyes and a bright orange nose And a head that is tilted in the funniest pose, On All Souls' Night! HALLOWEEN WITCH By Marie Dickason 1Grade 71 In the midst of the darkened twilight Near the top of the slim crescent moon A wicked old witch comes riding Upon her magical broom. Her eyes are a glaring wicked green, Her blackened gown has an eerie sheen, She tilts her broom and slides sailing by Shrieking through the starlit sky. A WITCI-PS PET By Eddie May Gregory KGrade 7D XVith gleaming eyes and an evil grin He adds his bit to the Halloween ding Riding her broom the witch shrieks and moans Filling the air with cries and groansg Through it all the cat sits serene Watching his mistress foul and mean. HALLOWEEN By Gayle Goodnough 1Grade SJ I can't wait till Halloween, When such funny things are always seen, Witches on broomsticks riding high, Through the dark and cloudy sky. Cats will slink along the wall, And owls will give the hooting call, While boys and girls frolic far and near, And say, Halloween at last is really here. 15 1.5 :Qi IK 'il f , at Wm IIR X My Suomi Smcunwxm' IT'S APPAREL FROM FROUG'S Wise, indeed, is the woman who selects her entire wardrobe from Froug's thrilling collections of things just right for every possible occasion on the fall and winter calendar . . . come rain come shine.

H. fashion reporter with a few rambling notes picked up here ab' and there during the hustle and bustle lpunj of the first few weeks of school. The decision of the CPA to allow longer and fuller skirts has the Oakwold girls in a quandary and many are the ideas and designs offered no lengthen the hem-lines, the most popular being for the taller girls to will their clothes to the shorter ones and all contribute no- ward purchasing the tall ones a new outfit. This is advocated by Martha and Suzanne. Of course dieting would add an inch or two to the length in some cases but this is a rather drastic measure. On a typical Sunday evening at Oak- wold it is very quiet until about 8:30 while waiting for the lucky week-enders to return. First comes Kitty in her kelly-green suit looking slightly the worse for wear, greeted by Maryanne in her fetching costume of blue-jeans and ma.n's checked shirt. Several others stroll in arid the difference in the appearance of the stay-at-homes and the returning travelers is quite amazing. But there is one little miss among us who insists on being stylish and up-to-date whether at home or away. Who .is she? Why our Sapulpa deb, of course. Speaking of war paint, besides the mul- ti-oolored lip-sticks, rouge, and jewelry Being worn this year, the varied shades FIRST IMPRESSIONS When first I came upon the scene, I found the school all calm, serene. The residence with rolling lawns, The sweet unshatrered peaceful dawnl, The rambling red brick house there, With no sharp cries to rend the air, The boards all washed, the books all clean, No thought of class behind a screen. And then the fatal day arrived, For which the registrar had strived. The girls showed up in hordes en masse And noisily returned so class. Now I met Bryan, Chase, and Clarke, Now Coyle, Ewing, Hicks, and Park, And also Hoke and Lyon and Skixsnner, Had thirty-two girls every night with my dinner. McCabe and Moses, Mulhall, White, Then Page and Ruprecht hove in sight. So many more I saw and met, That names sometimes elude me yet. My nerves are strained, my temper quick, But Holland Hall is still my pick. For first impressions always last, With even such a lively cast. Written under the strain of Wednesday evening study hall, this ninth day of October, 1946. -Marian Hadley. Sophomore: Have you heard from anyone I know lately? Freshman: Uh huh.

I believe the change that has affected me more than anything is that there are finally some new seats in the school bus. It is a great comfort to be able to ride the bus now and miss the ceiling by four inches instead of the doubtful one while sitting in the old seats. Sometimes I wonder just how Walter can drive that bus day in and day out without falling apart. One of the largest changes, and one which is in universal favor, is the abolish- ment of the demerit system. Why, Katty seems like a different person since she doesn't have to come to school every Saturday morning and wash desks. I'm sure the whole school is wondering just how 'long the no-demerit system willicon- tinue. A new addition in the gym classes is the POSTURE test at the 'end of every two weeks. Groans are heard from the field as each girl attempts to keep her head up while walking around the bases, and keep her back straight while doing the numerous exercises. Needless to say, this is one of the less popular changes. Among all these changes the one thing that remains always with us is our in- structors' foolish idea that home-work is necessary. In spite of all this I am sure weare all settling down to a happy and industrious ,school year. ' -Debby Page -..il , It is with great regret that I am forced to resign as Editor of Tome-A-Hawkl' due to the lack of ideas and the over- work of my brain f?J attempting to get this issue done in time. julie Flint will be our next editor and I hope everyone will 'help her by turning in lots and lots of clever contributions. -Debby Page SUNDAY NIGHT HOME-WORK Dinner is served. The dishes are done. Zero hour approaches. The time has come for me to do my home-work. I sit down at the table, pen in hand, aspirin near, and get ready for the evening's labor. ' Oh, mighty preparations! First, I figure out what I can put off until to- morrow. If there's nothing left, I go to bed. But, alas, there's always something left. So I face the music. One English theme, geometry, book reports, history by the ton, and so many assorted miseries await me that I go over to the drug store for a coke to build up my strength. After a party and a movie I get back home. ' And so to work. After an hour of intense preparation in geometry, the problem still comes out that one equals YWO, so I turn to 'English in disgust. That disgusts me too, so I turn on the rndiio. Fifteen minutes of . After 5,,' then the St, Banner and the station's sigt Back to drudgery. I return to the K etry problem and work it in three four minutes. 4 Now, the time is about one a. m. I sympathize with the clock for having to be up at that hour. About now the phone invariably rings, evoking wonder- ful words from the rest of the family. It turns out to be some pal whois throw- ing a hen party and wants me to come over. But I resist temptation. I tell her that I am a woman with work to do, and a higher purpose in life than just running around all the time. I go back to my books, cussing whoever hid the car-keys. Then I really get down to business. Papers fly. Things are done. Along comes the supreme moment when every- thing's finished. Along comes the sun, too, but I don't mind.

Skidmore College October 18, 1946 Dear Miss Walker: Hi, Pal! Does this expression sound familiar and do they still call you by this nickname? It's the seniors' duty to carry out last year's tra- ditions, so you tell them. Eastern college life is really wonderful, but I'll have to admit it's quite a jump from high school. The work is terrific and it's quite an ordeal to find time no study between sitting in the drug store and playing bridge. If I don't learn any- thing from books while I'm here, at least I can say I've become an expert laundressl I'm sure my mother would appreciate this fact. When we arrived at school, they gave us all lmeaning the freshmenl red oil- cloth bibs to wear. The bibs were very annoying and I thought we'd never see the day when we could take them off. Last Monday we had our day of hazing at the hands of the upper-classmen. Not only did we have to wear our clothes in- side oiut and upside down. but we had to wear heels, socks, and carry our books in a waste-paper basket. Everytime anyone would yell Atom bomb, we had to throw our books on the ground and put the waste-paper basket' over our heads. It was quite a riot and after all that misery a bonfire was built to burn our bibs. As much as we hated them, every- one in our house kept hers as a souvenir. Betty, Mimi, and I are meeting in New York in November and we'll paint the town red for you also. My parting words arc: don't spend too much time grading papers and by all means give easy tests. Love, J enev .GMU X if One of Mrs. Rinker's first graders came in and told her, Mrs, Rinker, one of the older girls hitme on my breath.

Wieners, hamburgers, potato salad, deviled eggs, brownies, and good humors made a wonderful menu. After our feast, we played games until Mr. Dickason announced that if we wanted to see the movie, we would need to start. So we hopped into the car and after much chattering decided on Holiday in Mexico. It was a wonderful movie and when Mr. Dickason dropped us at our houses, we all told him we had had a marvelous time and that he was the best host ever. MARIE DICKASON GIVES LUNCHEON PARTY On Saturday, October 12, Marie Dickason was hostess at a luncheon party at the Junior League Tea Room honoring Elaine Bush, formerly a resident of Tulsa and a student of Holland Hall.

Guest of honor was Elaine Bush, a former student of Holland Hall, who had come from New York for a visit. What fun we had playing baseball, hide-and-go-seek, and many other games. At last Mr. Gregory announced that dinner was ready. We were ever so glad, as we were practi- cally famished. Hamburgers, shoe-string potatoes, ice cream, suckers, and milk made up our feast. When eight o'clock rolled around and it was time to leave for home, we were all very thankful that Elaine had happened down from the metropolitan city to pay her old home town a visit. SECOND AND THIRD GRADE GIRLS ENJOY PARTIES On Saturday, September 27, Judy Adams entertained members of the second and third grades from three to five, at her home, 2142 Forest Boulevard, in celebration of her birthday.

Grades one to five came in costume and during the first period there was a grand march of ghosts, goblins, and witches, with pumpkins, broom- sticks, and other Halloween symbols through the corridors and rooms of the building. In the afternoon each home-room had its own social hour with the usual refreshments for the occa- sion. Picture-taking of the masked merry-makers added to the fun. 21 DIRECTOR OF MOHAWK SPEAKS AT FIRST STUDENT ASSEMBLY By Ann Henry On Wednesday, September 11, at the afternoon assembly period, we were all delighted to hear Mrs. Borden, our science teacher, introduce as our speaker Mr. Hugh Davis, director of the zoo at Mohawk Park. Mr. Davis knows animals and animal life. He went on a trip to Africa with the Martin Johnsons and he also organ- ized a trip of his own to collect specimens in the Caribbean region. Lately he has been conducting a series of lectures under the sponsorship of Kansas University. He brought his own movie film with him and showed us pictures which he had taken himself. They included all kinds of animals, snakes, and birds, which his camera had caught in their natural sur- roundings. Among the many birds which were shown were owls pur- suing or devouring their prey, and prairie chickens, birds which most of us had never seen before. There were some shots of men climbing high into a tree by means of a rope ladder, looking for birds' nests. Pictures of birds just hatching out of their eggs were particularly interesting. After the picture show, Mr. Davis showed us some live snakes which he had brought, several non-poisonous ones, which he handled, and one baby ooipperhead, which he held at the end of a stick. We certainly could not have had a more in- teresting program for the first assembly of the year. MARY VEASEY LEECH ADDRESSES ASSEMBLY By Martha Hoke Speaker for the student assembly of September 18 was no other than Mary Veasey Leech, nationally known author Mrs. Leech, who is a Holland Hall alumna, Class of '24, won us first by saying that she enjoyed our magazine, MISS HOLLAND HALL. Then she showed us a copy of The Windmill, Holland Hall's first student publication. She encourages people to write. She reminded us that many famous writers began writing when they were of children's books. very young. Mrs. Leech is famous as a story-teller. When she was college age, she went to Europe. On the way over, she amused herself by telling stories to the younger set on the ship. One of the countries which she visited was Holland. On a boat trip from one town to another she was talking to an English- speaking Dutchman, and she happened to mention her hobby of story-telling. The boat docked. Her Dutch friend had vanished, but soon she was surrounded by hoards of little Dutch children. Thinking they wanted candy, she gave them all she had. This failed to quiet the furore. Presently a small, quaintly dressed child stepped forward and asked her to tell her little friends a story. The little girl invited Mrs. Leech to her home. Then as Nlrs. Leech talked, the little girl translated for the other children. The children called Mrs. Leech the Story Candy Lady. Our speaker next entertained us with two of her own stories, The Mystery of the Golden Pumpkin and The Ticklish Fairy. Mrs. Leech has organized a club for chronically ill children, called the Chuckle Club. She writes stories and poems for the children and supplies games and magazines. She gets much fan mail from her young followers, an average of two hundred letters per month. And I answer them allli' she says. Holland Hall is very proud of this talented alumna. 22 ...ac .c.. af ' crux PROGRAM COMMITTEE PROVIDES INTERESTING SPEAKERS By Charlotte Cotton and Vivia Van Dyne The Program Committee, sponsored by Miss Hartsook, has brought us most interesting speakers. On Wednesday, Sep- tember 25, two British war-brides spoke at our student as- sembly. Mrs. Crayton B. Key, formerly of Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk, England, spoke on England's educational system, Mrs. Ollie Reed, from Glasgow, Scotland, told of her ex- periences in a war plant. The speakers were introduced by Maurine Johnson, senior member of the assembly committee. On October 2, at the weekly assembly faculty and students were privileged to hear Charles R. Fellows, Tulsa attorney, speak on life in China. Mr. Fellows was well informed on his topic, having spent seven months in western China with head- quarters at Kunming and seven in Shanghai serving with the Judge Advocate General's Department. At the assembly of October 9 Holland Hall was honored to have as its guest speaker Mrs. H. Kenneth Worsley, who is in charge of display at Seidenbach's department store. Mrs. Worsley opened her talk by telling us that she considers dis- play the most satisfying of all arts. She stated that you do h0t need any special training to be in display. A sense of fashion and color and artistic ability are the most important things. These have been interesting programs. ART STUDENTS VISIT PHILBROOK By Martha Hoke On Tuesday, October 1, the art classes of Holland Hall's Miss Michel, During the Upper School visited the Philbrook Art Museum. art instructor at Holland Hall, served as guide. first two school periods, from 8:50 until 10:30, Ann Arnold and Margaret Foster enjoyed the privileges of the museum. During periods three and four the next group, consisting of Jean Ache, Caroline Clarke, and Marion McMillin made the tour. From 11:30 until 1:40 Holland Hall was bereft of the presence of Carol Bryan and BeeBe Dunivan. fDoubtless Carol's absence was what made things so dull at the sophomore table during luncheonlj Next to leave were Pattie Chapman and Meg Simpson. At 2:30 a large group of art students left dear old Holland Hall to peace and quiet. The members of this group were Ann Bailliere, Leah Britton, Ann Henry, Martha Hoke, Barbara McGill, Jan Moses, Virginia Ruprecht, Katty White. The purpose of this excursion was to study techniques and style in the various media, as well as value and colofr harmony. Your reporter, as indicated, was with the last group. First we visited the upper floor. One room was dominated by line drawings and water colors of the opaque or non-transparent types. Scenes in the oil-fields supplied the subjects. Miss Michel then took us to the main floor. In the south terrace room we saw pictures in various media done by artists of Tulsa and vicinity. Next on our list was the big gallery at the north end of the building. This room also was filled with pictures of equipment for the oil-fields as well as pictures of the workers themselves. In the center of the room, in sharp contrast to the paintings around it, was a piece of statuary, two fanciful colts. Next we were shown the base- ment, which is still being remodeled. The show-cases are filled with Indian relics and on the shelves extending along two of the walls is the fabulous Clark Field basket collection. Miss Michel promises us one excursion each month. In November we are going to study pottery design at Philbrook.

Introductions were made by Marilyn Lindsay, a senior and member of the club. The first presenta- tion was a pantomime, excellent in every detail, given by Jessie Westphal. She entered with a towel wrapped around her head, then went through all the motions of a Holland Hall girl getting dressed for an important date. Dressed, seeming- ly, to her satisfaction, she put on lip-stick, rouge, powder, and eye make-up. All this make-believe was done in such a way that it seemed almost real. The second presentation was a comic version of The Highwaymanf' by Alfred Noyes. The narrator was BeeBe Dunivan. The cast who illustrated the narrative included Martha McCabe, as the Highwayman, Pat Chesnut, as Bess, Tam Dudley, as the Landlord, Nancy Lou Crain, as Tim, the Ostlerg J-can Story, Josephine Davis, and Maurine Johnson as the Red-coat troop. The landlord failed to appear, as this character was calmly fixing props back-stage. Musical num- bers between skits were supplied by Jean Ache and Linda Wolferman. The students enjoyed the assembly.

November,1946 - MISS HOLLAND HALL HOLLAND HALL RESIDENCE By Maryanne Harwood Once more Oakwold has opened its doors wide to receive its ever increasing family. Although we miss our seniors 1 from last year, we End that the old warm and happy spirit is still pervading. Most of the old girls are back. Indeed what should we do without those teams, Cora Jean Mundy and Tam Dudley, Marie Coyle and Julie Park, and those other valuable standbys, Barbara Bulkley, Pat Davis, and Nancy Lackey? As we slide down the bannister llike a typical third floor girl who's late for dinnerl, we find on the second floor the usual congre- gation round the blaring vic in Ruby Webb's room, not to mention her two room-mates smiling slyly over some new activity of the After Ten Club. Farther down the hall, even over the noise of the vic, you can hear Stubby Sexton's voice explaining why girls should always accept blind dates. She ought to know! Of course the clamor would not be complete without Story's telling the adventures of her two alligators, Homer and Horace, and Linda Wolfermanls boast- ing of her beloved turtle. In the other wing of the house we are practically blinded by the glow that surrounds Kitty Led- better after a week-end at home. Maurine Johnson is recov- ering from a week-end in Sapulpa. Martha McCabe with her usual efhciency is ready to carry a message or answer the telephone. Downstairs, if you can make your way through the somewhat clouded atmosphere of the mirthful senior room, you will find Jess, Bee, and Smokey falias Westphal, Dunivan, and Harwoodl entertaining with the jokes of the week. The first week of school last year's resident students gave a welcoming party for new girls. Beginning with that, Oak- wold's activities have been quite exciting, what with the Tulsa Horse Sh-cw, Tommy Dorsey, the Civic Music League concerts, and Friday evening movies, In addition, girls have found time to make an occasional enjoyable visit home. There was a general exodus the week-end of October 18. Our resident students come from far and near. Oklahoma City leads the list with Sue Adams, Polly Ambrister, Beverly Chase, Beverly Ewing, June Fletcher, Adelaide Lyon, Suzanne Skinner, and Vivia Van Dyne. Miami, Oklahoma, comes next with Pat Chestnut, Barbara Fullerton, and Jean Newton. Arkansas has given us two girls, one from Ft. Smith and one from Little Rock. They are respectively Linda Wolferman and Joan Olmstead. Other Oklahoma students are Lenore Morgan from Grandfield, BeeBe Dunivan from Cleveland, and Marilyn Hicks from Holdenville. Britta Ann lSidJ Reinhardt from Arkansas City, Kansas, Shirley Weber from Ellenwood, Kansas, and our southern belle, Jessie Westphal, of Houston, Texas, complete our picture. We hope that the new girls will come to love Oakwold as we do. Our newly elected house officers and Oakwold council members are the following: president, Jean Newton, vice- president, Ruby Webb, secretary, BeeBe Dunivang treasurer, Marilyn Sexton, senior council representative, Joan Story, junior council representative, June Fletcher, sophomore repre- sentative, Julie Parkg freshman representative, Cora Jean Mundy, Lower School representative, Nancy Lackey. All in all, we are very proud of our residence and think it's pretty swell to be back in school once more. Oakwold girls and guests leave for Classen-Central football game. fStory on page 243 an u-nun uns.-u nun-nu un:-uuun nn-nun-u ,U -un:-nun I., nn -nun .I uuuunn -un-una ---nu nu-u -nun nn un -u 1 All ,g ... ..- , ..... .- .:- ................ - ................. gggg--1:5----U -- ' iiiiiiEE55EEi:::::: WHERE: Holland Hall alumnae are scattered a.ll over the United States as usual this fall and some of them are planning to be in Europe and the Pacific before too long, if the gov- ernment cooperates. Margot Lockwood is back in New York after a visit in Tulsa with her family. Her job with International Business Machines seems to act as a magnet, fortunately, she still has an apartment. So her friends are wondering now if she'll get home for Christmas. Helen Savage Robbins, whose husband is going to the Colorado School of Mines in Golden, gets over to see Barbara Buchanan Kirchner every now and then, in Evergreen. Bar- bara's husband is out of the Navy now and working on Hiwan Ranch. Mary Katherine Castle Steinway is at Buzzard's Bay, Massa- chusetts, now--R.F.D. No. 1. Her husband, Fritz, will enter Harvard in February. The report is that M. K. and Fritz were badly in need of a car. They got out Fritz's Model T, painted it, decorated it with the Steinway coat of arms, re- upholstered it with gunny sacks, and are now traveling in style. Dr. Dieffenbach was recently in the East and came home raving about how chubby M. K. is now. Helen Haddock decided that she needed more education. She is now at Columbia University in New York, attending Teachers College. Helen Westfall is in New York too-doing a good job of modeling. Joan Kennedy, senior at Smith this year, came home for Betty Taber's wedding. The only complaint voiced was that she didn't stay long enough. Pine Manor has five Holland Hall alum this year: Sally Ann Thompson, Joan Splane, Joan Felt, and, from the class of '46, Mary Jane Feemster and Virginia McMillin. Pat Nero is at Colorado University in Boulder, as are Sue Martin and Mary Ellen Waters. Mary Ellen and Sue pledged Kappa Kappa Gamma this fall. Nancy Jo Canary is fitting into the scheme of things at Ogontz very well, as are Betty and Mimi White at Harcum Junior College. Joyce Jones of the Class of '46 is at the University of Oklahoma studying architecture. On the strength of entrance exams she was exempted from taking freshman American his- tory and freshman English composition. Margaret Ann Knappen Young and her family are living in New York in a very nice apartment near the Columbia University campus. Harrison is working on his Ph. D. Seen around the old home town : Harriet Smith is work- ing at the Tulsa Record Shop now. She says that she's very tired of hearing The Darktown Poker Club and if you want to do her a favor, you'll go in and ask to hear Rachmaninoflps Second Piano Concerto. Enjoying Tulsa after their year in New York, always bustling and more so now than ever, are Mig Haralson, Betty Dirickson and jean Curd. It's much more peaceful here but there is enough to keep them busy. Aunt Chick's cooking school takes up some of their time-and some of their sugar! Mary Barnard Lawrence is back in Tulsa after a summer in the East with her family. She and Dick are living with her 26 By Emily M. Cordell, '41 I 1 nn---. .ln-In parents, but keeping their eyes open for an apartment. Dick is attending T. U. Betty Dirickson and Pat Galbreath can be found on the golf course on nice days. Pat, Mary Lawrence, Jean Curd, June Scarborough, Jean Mize were all at Field Day this year-they either helped to decorate the Alumnae Booth or made sure that the stickers were selling. Seen having a mighty good time at the Barbour reception were Patsy Pape, June Scarborough fanother T. U. studentl, and Leonore Egan. Jean Gaskill Mize and Jean Felt Holliman fwho has a new housej entertained for Beverly Rodolf before she was married with a bingo party. It was quite unique and a huge success. Beverly went home laden with all sorts of useful gifts, in- cluding tooth brushes and hand lotions, emery boards and paper clips. Frances Burke Warden and her husband are now living in San Antonio, Texas. And sister Gussie for Holly, as you preferj is working in Boston. WHAT: The what in Tulsa is weddings, weddings, and more weddings. October was a very popular month. Jane Forster was married on the sixth, Betty Taber, ex-'43, chose the eleventh, Frances Sloan, ex-'43, became Mrs. john T. Thomas on the twelfth, Beverly Rodolf chose the fourteenth, and Sally Ashe Barbour the sixteenth. Jane is now Mrs. Bradley Johnson of St. Louis, Missouri. Betty married William Maxwell Jenkins from Seattle, Wash- ington. They will make their home there. Beverly Rodolf Dale went to New Mexico and Colorado on her wedding trip in a lovely pale green convertible. And Sally Ashe, now Mrs. Edward W. Pribyl, left for Bermuda in a great rush, typically joking that they were going to walk all the way. The truth is that she and Ed drove back East and had plans to see Mary Katherine Steinway and Gussie Burke on their trip. Ann Kennedy was married this summer, August 19, to John P. Thomas, and is now at home waiting for permission to join her husband in Austria. Marcia Bei-key became Mrs. Ira D. Crews on August 31 and she and Ira are lucky in having a house of their own while Ira goes to school and holds down a job. Pauline Flint married Lawrence Shulman on july 27 and her friends are anxious for Christmas because Pauline and her husband plan to make the trip to Tulsa for the holidays. Marilyn Vinson Grant was married on June 12 and she and Charles are living in Tulsa now. In the new arrivals line, Mary Frances Walters Ingersoll had a baby girl in September. .There are more who have added to the population as well as Mary Frances but it is rather hard to keep up with everything Qespecially when you are nearly a stranger in town yourselfl. WHO: Strictly news of those alumnae still closely in touch with Holland Hall. The new Alumnae Association oflicers, elected at a September tea at Philbrook, are Mary Barnard Lawrence, presidentg Elizabeth Page, vice-president, and Mary Catherine Sloan Corbett, secretary-treasurer. November,1946 - MISS HOLLAND HALL NEWS Qfrom page 231 VACATION REMINISCENCES By Barbara McGill Members of the ninth grade spent the summer in a variety of ways and in a variety of places from the seashore to mountains. A number went to camp, Charlotte Cotton, for instance, to Camp Nagawicka, Delafield, Wisconsin, and Polly Ambrister, to Camp Lake Hubert, Lake Hubert, Minnesota. After camp, Polly stayed the rest of the summer at her sum- mer home, named Cherokee, between Park Rapids and Nevis, Minnesota. Ann Arnold had about the fullest summer, tak- ing in Camp Waldemar, at Hunt, Texas, New York City, Chicago, and Ashland, Kentucky. Anne Bailliere was kept pleasantly busy by spending the month of June in New York City, traveling by plane, then back to her Missouri farm for the remainder of the summer. Ann Henry spent the last week of July visiting at the Bailliere farm. Colorado drew several. Tam Dudley, at the Broad- more Hotel, Colorado Springs, enjoyed the beautiful scenery around Cheyenne Mountain and. Pike's Peak. Joey Canterbury was at Trimble Springs Ranch, Durango, Colorado, Barbara McGill at Manitou, Colorado. Sue Adams went to Carmel, California, by car. Leah Britton spent a week in Rochester, Minnesota. Meg Simpson stayed in Minoqua, Wisconsin, dur- ing the last part of June, all of July, and the First part of August. Pat Davis visited in Mankato and Atkins, Minnesota. Ronda Russell vacationed at Bishopls Lodge, Santa Fe, New Mexico, for three weeks. Ann Stewart journeyed to Exeter, New Hampshire, and Cape Cod for the iirst two weeks in June. Cora Jean Mundy visited in Kansas City and in Beaumont, Texas, for three weeks. Jane Marshall spent all of july in Banning, California, and a week before the opening of school attended a horse show in Coffeyville, Kansas. Vivia Van Dyne spent the summer in Sedalia, Missouri. Pattie Chapman, Josephine Davis, Barbara Fullerton, and Sally Teale relaxed at home. Although we are glad to be back in school for many reasons, summer will never be quite long enough for most of us. AND SO WE TAKE OUR PEN IN HAND Qfrom page 14, JUST A BOUNCING BABY BOY By Maryanne Harwood lGrade 123 Bouncer, as the darling of the family is commonly called, is a charming baby to all outward appearances. His goes and das are marveled over, each gesture seems greatly ad- vanced compared with those of other children of his age. However, Bouncer is still just a baby, and dressed just like any other baby. This is where I came in. Yes, I really came into something when Bouncer's care was turned over to me this summer. Innumerable difficulties arose, and I soon learned the hard way that behind his sweet angelic smile lurked a devilish delight for destruction and antagonism to all mankind. At the end of the summer we understood each other. I had learned that patience and kindness behind a firm hand will manage Bouncer and he had learned that his cute pranks are appreciated only to a certain point. From then on it was fun for both of us, and Bouncer and I are eagerly looking forward to our date next summer.

The action of the play around the ball is the most spectacular part of fo-otball. Observers are thrilled by long runs, brilliant passes, and unusually long kicks. The game of football is constructed around the work of the linemen. The careful observer who is a student of foot- ball is thrilled by a good block, the charge of guards and tackles, and strong defensive play of ends. In my opinion, one who attends a football game and watches only the action around the ball misses a very important and entertaining part of the game. Officials handling a football contest are usually quite amus- ing. They are of course vital in that they must be impartial in the interpretation of the rules. Usually the officials are former football players who have become fat and paunchy and it is amusing to watch their feeble attempts to keep up with the play of the men on the Held. One can almost believe that the officials are quite often mentally back in the days of their own earlier football glory, calling on aging muscles to pro- duce speed of which they are now incapable. In my opinion a most interesting part of a football game lies in observing the crowd. The crowd is composed of people young and old, enjoying the game and the beautiful fall weather. Unquestionably a football game provides a good afternoon's entertainment, the game itself is interesting, the officials are amusing, and the crowd entertaining.

JOY TO THE WORLD By Maryanne Harwood, Editor Our thoughts usually turn to Christmas about the time we hear the Glee Club practicing Christmas carols in the auditorium. Through the halls float the strains of Silent Night, diverting our attention from our ever present studies to visions of Christmas trees, Santa Claus, snow, and home. Our minds are filled with happiness and expectation of the good times that await us the minute that last bell rings on December twentieth. But have we ever stopped to consider what it is that is behind the joyous- ness of the Christmas season? The marvelous feeling of good will is pervaded by the beautiful spirit of giving. Everywhere we turn, we are aware of it and we revel in the delicious sense of contentment with which it provides us. However, it cannot be denied that this alone is not enough to make a completely per- fect Christmas. Each individual must experience within himself the in- describable feeling that comes from knowing he has made someone very happy, even though it-may be by a small deed of kindness or thought- fulness. The average person usually thinks of giving the family presents or remembering them in some other special wayg but how many of us go out of our way at Christmas to do something for someone perhaps less forf tunate? Holland Hall, to be sure, has its project in the support or partial support of a hospital bed and the Red Cross and Community Chest are doing everything in their power to relieve those in need, but this isn't enough. If we know within ourselves that we have not helped, though we could so easily do something such as give a little extra money, take food and clothing to a family in difficult circumstances, how can our holiday be ideal? So, when we are finishing up last minute homework or busily packing our bags for the holiday home-going, let's take a few minutes off to write that extra Christmas card, to wish the forgotten somebody a Merry Christ- mas, and our Noel will be the best ever, for we shall be giving happiness, the most precious gift in the world. ' To all its readers the editor and staff of MISS HOLLAND HALL wish a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. ff , w 2 ' L v : K ' I fn, J XX' A 'V Q ,UJWX J X C 'Q f L ff!

This wintry weather was unusual in the sunny California climate. The prison guards shivered at their posts and rejoiced when their watch was over, All around the stony, barren island on which the prison stood stark and lonely against the darkening sky, the choppy, white- capped waves of the bay crashed against the clifs. The wind screamed at a higher pitch, bringing with it a cold rain. Indeed this scene was a strange one for Christmas Eve. Inside the massive walls the inmates of the prison passed the time in various ways. Some sat staring at the wide expanse of water below their small barred windows. Others lay on their bunks, asleep. Their hard faces were somewhat softened per- haps by visions of merrier Christmas Eve's in the past. The warden passed slowly down the long row of cells. He stopped for a moment at Number Z9 and quietly regarded the youthful inmate, Gregory Morrison. This fair-haired youth had the reputation for being the most hardened criminal in the prison. The warden shook his head as he watched the young man, who was neither sleeping nor sitting idly, but busily writing on a scrap of paper. Soon he finished, folded the paper into a tiny square, and put it hastily in the pocket of his prison garb. Then he turned to his dinner, which was on the table beside him. He ate in silence, ignoring the warden, who presently passed onward through the row of cells and was obscured in the gathering twilight. On Christmas day there was much excitement on the island. Young Morrison had disappeared. Without commotion he had over-powered his guard and secured the keys. No one knew whether he had survived the long swim to shore through the gale or not, but the border states were all notified. Meanwhile the guard had died without regaining consciousness. A few days later young Morrison was identified in a stolen automobile while passing through a small Arizona town. Arrested, he was immediately returned to the prison. His trial was prompt, the verdict death on the gallows. It was a quiet youth who made his way up the gallows' steps on the morning of March soth, escorted by several burly guards. Suddenly he asked for the warden, to whom he gave a small water-streaked paper. The warden glanced curiously at the scrawled message. Then he gave a start, for in the pale grey light he read: Please have my eyes used for some blind child. The warden was surprised. Then he remembered that it was possible to salvage the eyes of a dead person if it was done immediately. His eyes wandered back to the last line 'of the message, which explained the odd request, You see, my kid brother was blind. Two weeks later in a San Francisco hospital a nurse in a stiffly starched uniform bent over an excited little boy in a white hcspital bed. Slowly she slipped the tight bandages off his eyes. He held ouft his arms to his mother, who sat nearbyg then in a trice, he took in everything in the room, the little Christmas tree and all his presents, which had been carefully saved until this moment. And he knew that never in his whole life would there be such a wonderful Christmas as this one, or another present like this wonderful gift of sight, the Christmas gift that came from Alcatraz because of the memory of a blind kid brother. 8 CANDY CANE By Julia Ann Park fGrade 101 The screech of brakes rose to a crescendo as the skidding car swerved to avoid the small Negro boy in the patchy overalls. The door of the big Cadillac burst open. Boy, are you all right? What are you doing out on a night like this anyway? A gentleman, rather severe looking, but dignified, of about forty-live, had alighted from the car. The boy stood there stunned, staring at a black hump of something lying on the pavement. 'QOh, Candy! he wailed. Oh, my Candy Cane! Daidl I know it! Daid! And he threw himself on the yet warm body of a small dog, patting it, caressing it, oh, so tenderly, as he sobbed. It was Christmas Eve, a perfect one, store windows lighted, icy streets sprinkled with new-fallen snow, the roar from the tide of Christmas shoppers now subsided and only peace reign- ing over all. Get in the carf' came the order. But my Candy, Mister, my Candy! My poor daid Candy! I ain't leavin' Candy. Nevah! Nevah! Mister, yo heard me. Nevah! Stop your wailing, boy, and get in the car. Your dog'l not dead, but there's not a minute to lose . . . Then he continued to himself, Confound it! All the veterinarians are closed and it would take too long to get one up. I'll have no go home. The car pulled up in front of a mansion in the Oakhurst section of the city. Dog in arms, the man unlocked the door, followed by the small black boy. John! John! You've lcome back! I was so afraid. Why will you risk your life on a night like this for a patient that isn't really sick, anyway? Dr. John didn't answer this, but only said, I'm back, Alice. But I nearly ran over a boy. He's in the library. Go find out who he is, will you? This little cocker of his needs some help with her puppies. Alice entered the long library, where the overall clad figure stood by the -brightly-lighted Christmas tree, muttering to himself. God, give me back my Candy, were the words she thought she heard. How is I goin' to sell papers without her to net by me on the curb and warm me up? I ain't done nothin' bad, I hopes . . Of'course you haven't been bad,,' Alice says, as she comes toward the boy by the tree, and I'm sure God will save your dog. What's your name? Joseph, Mam, Joseph Edward Cane. Will God really save my dog? I just know he will, Joseph. You may sleep here tonight. I'Il fix a room for you. By the way, Pm Mrs. Delaney. I'll call your mother. Where can I reach her? If yo call the Ninth Street drug store, I is shore yo can get her, Miz Delaney. If it's all the same to you, Mam, I shore would love to sleep down here with the pretty lighted-up treef' . All right, Joseph, I'll Hx the couch. Christmas morning came and Joseph was sleeping. The lights on the tree were still shining from the night before.

Every year on Christmas Eve a program is given in our church by the children of the Sunday School. I have never missed one of these programs. I believe my Christmas would not be complete without witnessing this program of skits, Christmas songs, and readings. Best of all is watching the little ones tell Santa what they want for Christmas. The service begins with songs by the cradle-roll children. It is very amusing to watch this. The little girls pull up their dresses and both boys and girls coyly put their fingers in their mouths. Next come the first, second and third graders. These are not shy, act a little better, and usually display some talent, though on the whole as entertainers they do not measure up to the tiny tots. Then girls and boys from grades four to seven take the stage. These have reached that point in life where every move they make seems to embarrass them. This part of the program is concluded with a skit by the teen-age group. And now the much-awaited-and-desired moment arrives. Everyone, young and old, joins in the singing of Jingle Bells at the top of his voice. This seems to give a hint to Santa Claus, who comes bounding down the stairs with his bells gaily ringing. Santa takes each child in his arms with various reactions taking place. Some loudly whisper the desired play- thing and some softly and shyly whisper their wish, while others immediately burst into tears and have to be rescued by their mammas. Santa departs leaving each person, large and small, a small box of candy. Then many sleepy children are taken home to bed to await St. Nick's arrival. MISS HOLLAND HALL - December, 1946 A NEW ENGLAND CHRISTMAS By Mary Louise Hall fGrade 127 The door burst open and I rushed inside with my two older sisters and a brother. All of us had rosy cheeks and were full of good spirits, as we had had a trip to the farm to get holly and had found a beautiful big pine to cut for our Christmas tree. Because of the deep snow the trip had been made in the open sleigh with Billie and Hannah, the two chestnut bay horses, pulling usi The farm is five miles from Larchmont, a small Westchester County village in New York. It extends a mile from the Boston Post Road to Long Island Sound. The house belonged to my grandfather. It is a large colonial house set among beautiful pines, elms, and maples, with a rolling lawn that goes down to the water,s edge. It looks especially pretty with the snow falling because all the surroundings are white ex- cept for the water, which seems to be a jet black. We were to have our tree with the opening of presents at our home in the village. It was the day before Christmas and the ol' spirit had entered into the house, with the baking of pies, cakes, and cookies, and other indescribable goodies. Everybody was sneaking around with packages of various sizes and shapes. That afternoon there was a rush to the village store to get candy canes, mistletoe, and last minute gifts. At home people were wrapping the many presents. Finally Christmas Eve arrived and the decorating of the tree with gaily colored balls, lights, silver iciclesg and last of all the traditional Santa Claus, who had been on all the family Christmas trees, was placed on the top. After this event, everyone disappeared and returned with his present to put under the tree. Then there was a lot of punching, feeling, and guess- ing as to what was inside the packages. We heard the chimes from the village church peeling out Christmas carols through the frosty air, so we bundled up in our warmest wraps and set out for the midnight service. We walked down the hill with the snow crunching under our feet and, as we passed the houses scattered along the way, we could see signs of Christmas festivities through the unshaded windows. Later, when we came home, everyone went to bed immediately after the big day we had had and the big day to come. After breakfast the next morning everybody including the servants assembled together around the tree. We went in according to age, the very youngest going first. The oh's and ah's could be heard all over the house, as the mysterious gifts were finally revealed. The family then departed in the sleigh for the farm, where all the relatives gathered for dinner with grandfather. We sat down to a table loaded with good things.. My grandfather sat at the head of the table looking very happy and dignified with his long white beard flowing over his chest and his old wrinkled face beaming, as he looked at all his children gathered round him at the annual Christmas reunion. The day ended perfectly with the peace and quiet of the new moon, the snow on the ground, the only noise being that of the jingling bells and the horses' trot as they pulled the sleigh toward home. 9 -- 1 --is i ,,,tisTRE:,is MASH SE REVO 1 trade A Book eafton kC1ca3e nl Should you like to be ten years old and have as your friends the descendants of the little people whom Gulliver found so long ago when he visited Lilliput? Should you like to live on an old estate in a mansion of fifty-two bedrooms with halls so long that a bicycle has to be used to get from room to room? Should you like to be considered a heroine of a minia- ture race 'of people? If so, you will enjoy the lovable Maria and her delightful adventures in Mistress Masham's Reposew hy T. H. White. Maria was an orphan who lived on her dilapidated ancestral estate, supposedly somewhere near Northhampton, England. Malplaquet, as the estate was called, had been a quite famous place centuries before, but from lack of care since the death of Maria's parents, it had fallen into a disreputable state with only five or six of the rooms usable. Maria did not lead a very pleasant life under the watchful eye of Miss Brown, her governess, and Mr. Hater, her guardian. However, she did have two very good friends: Cook, who would smuggle food in to her when she was punished by being sent to bed without supper, and the Professor, an absent-minded little old man who lived in one of MaIplaquet's cottages, surrounded by the only things he considered important in life-books. One day Maria was given a holiday as Miss Brown had re- tired with a headache. Left to her own resources, Maria at once went exploring. Although she had visited the artificial lake, called Quincunx, many times before, and had also poled across in a leaky punt to the tiny island in the center, she had never discovered the secret of Mistress Mashamis Repose, which was what the tiny island was called. This day she did! The island was inhabited by a colony of Lilliputians, descendants of those whom Swift wrote about in telling of Lemuel Gulliver's travels. This small group happened to be the ones that had been kidnapped by Captain John Biddel. Once in England, the Lilliputians had cleverly escaped and made their way to Mistress Masham's Repose, hoping to settle down and once more lead a peaceful life. Now Maria had discovered them! Through consultation with the Professor on how to act and what to say to them, Maria soon became their friends, of course promising not to breathe a word of their secret. 10 Maria now had a special interest all her own and n-o longer paid any attention when Miss Brown scolded longer than usual or Mr. Hater was more hateful than ever. The community and private life of the tiny perfect people never failed to charm Maria, and each day she became more intrigued with the re- sourcefulness they showed in providing for their wants and needs. Maria found that she could give the little people what they considered very valuable presents such as needles, which the men could use as swords, silk handkerchiefs, which could be made into elaborate dresses for the women, and the supreme luxury, chocolate creams. The Lilliputians were so appreciative that in return they gave her a cobweb handkerchief and a sprug of gold. Everything had been wonderful up to this time, but then Miss Brown happened to find the two gifts that Maria thought she had carefully concealed. Believing that Maria had found these in some secret room, she and the vicar decided that they must find this room, for they believed that it also contained a very important document. This document, if presented in court, would restore the riches of the estate, and they intended to find it and get the money for themselves. Maria was sent to bed without supper because she would tell them nothing. However, the Lilliputians came to the res- cue, only to be discovered by Miss Brown. They fied for their lives, but not quickly enough, for Miss Brown caught the schoolmaster. Showing him to Mr. Hater, she inspired in him the same greedy thoughts of how much money they could make if they sold the little people. From then ion, innumerable exciting events take place, for the Lilliputians are just as determined not to be caught and to rescue Maria as their oppressors are to catch them and hold Maria captive. The book has a happy ending and leaves you with a satisfied and jolly feeling. Mr. XVhite's fantasy is delightful to children and adults alike. However, upon a little closer scrutiny, adults will find some shrewd ironies lurking between the lines. Mr. White has inserted these so ingeniously that the reader is scarcely con- scious of them until he finds himself believing wholeheartedly in the Lilliputians. Although most people would find it rather hard to stretch the imagination to the point of believing in a race of people only six inches high, all would have to admit that the high ideals and the perfect economic system of these tiny people would be very desirable. It is here that the satire reaches its heights. Why should such a little group of de- fenseless people be able to adjust and adapt themselves to their environment, when, we, the big people, are failing so miser- ably? Through his character of the Professor, Mr. White has brought out many profound truths that have a way of wedging themselves into the readcr's mind to stay there and grow. The following excerpts illustrate: You see, Maria, this world is run by 'practical' people: that is to say, by people who do not know how to think, have never had any education in thinking, and who do not wish to have it ..... I believe it is a mistake to make a mock of people just because they think. There are ninety thousand people in this world that do not think for everyone who does, and thesepeople hate the thinkers like poison. Even if some thinkers are fanciful, it is wrong to make fun of them for it. Better to think about cucumbers even than not to think at all. Enjoyable fast reading, Mistress Masham's Reposen stirs the imagination with its adventuresome anecdotes and clever illus- trations. Also, by presenting the admirable social economy of the Lilliputians and by inserting the philosophizings of the Professor, it is thought-provoking.

I spent four years Institute of Chicago and native life in the wilds of I had always liked art, town, though I have been so long studying at the school of the Art two more sketching and painting South America. had always made art my profession even before I had received any training in the fine arts. In the beginning I had been a commercial artist. first jobs was with the Promotion and Display Department of the Tulsa Tribune.', Here I turned out cover page designs f-or the annual International Petroleum Exposition, turned out twenty-odd illustrations for the feature section that hailed the opening of the new Coliseum, wrote and illustrated a daily article tagged House into Home. Eventually I graduated with what might be called flying colors into the thick of the advertising field in St. Louis. I developed accounts of my own and free-lanced through the D'arcy Advertising Agency, which handles such outstanding accounts as Coco-Cola, An- heuser-Busch, and Kelly-Springfield Tires. I did package de- signs and now and then bill-board and magazine illustrations. Then I decided to go to art school. It was like a person who which instead of decorating bill- plays the piano entirely by ear suddenly deciding he will go back, begin at the very beginning, and learn the hard way how to play Bach's kind of piano. In 1942 after a four years' course in drawing, painting, and illustration at the Chicago Art Institute I could point with satisfaction to my works, boards, bottles, and boxes, at last in the original etching, lithograph, oil, or water color added to the decor of homes of the so-very-kind art lovers who had purchased my entries at this or that exhibition. And I had had entries in the regular exhibits of the Art Institute and at university clubs and pro- fessional galleries throughout the country. Indeed, I was happy! I was a fine artist! I had even been asked by the Chicago Tribune to act as oflicial judge in their national Most Beautiful Child contest with some 15,000 entries! I don't have to remind anybody that the war was going full blast in 1942, the year of my graduation from the Art Institute. When three months before my graduation United Airlines came along and offered to hold until June a position with them as Functional Designerf I accepted without hesi- tation. Almost immediately, however, I moved into the line arts field, for that June the Chicago Art Institute presented me with one of their coveted foreign travel fellowship awards. I was to spend the next two years in Yucatan, Guatemala, Colom- bia, Panama, Ecuador, Bolivia, Chili, and Peru. The common complaints down there against los gringosn are that we do not get off the beaten pathsg that we don't stay long enough to know what we're talking, writing, or painting about when we return to our own country. Well, I dug in and lived with them. I traveled far, and well off beaten paths, by burro, truck, bus, train, boat, plane, and, in pinches, on foot! I lived for several months in a remote section of the Peruvian sierra in an Indian village called Chucuito. Chucuito is on the edge of Lake Titicaca at 12,000 feet altitude. There are no modern conveniences there, but there is a magnificent old, old church and some Inca ruins and a handful of adobe huts and a double handful of the colorful Aymara redskins, to- gether with their llamas, sheep, dogs, pigs, and chickens. I lived with Dr. and Mrs. Harry Tschopik fethnologist, archae- ologist, working in the interests of the Smithsonian Institute and Peabody Museum, Harvardj and we three were the only MISS HOLLAND HALL - December, 1946 gringos in the whole section, unless you could count the Tschopiks' dachshund, Jitano for Gypsyl. Life in all South American countries is full of sharp con- trast, but I do believe Peru has fewest happy mediums. Lima, the city of kingsf, is a beautiful, smartly modern city. What a far cry from Lima is the bleak and remote sierra! I re- member so vividly the colorful markets, the villages, the ter- raced sides of the Andes. It was in Bogota, Colombia, at a 9,000 feet elevation that I had had my first dose of siroche or mountain sickness. Later in Peru I was to live not too uncomfortably at 20,000 feet, but by that time I had grown accustomed to the highest, thinnest air. How vividly I re- member the natives, the wonderful types of Quechua and Aymara and Metiza, who cling to the old customs, the old way of life set for them by their illustrious ancestors, the Incas, such a long, long time ago! I remember their animals, which like the sierran Indian himself, thrive only in the high alti- tudes: the llamas, vicunasfalpacas, and the burros with holes gouged into their nostrils so that they may better endure the altitude. The llama, held sacred by the Incas and even yet victim of sacrificial ceremonies, is most intriguing with bells about its neck and gay tassels attached to its ears! It is quite true that the llama spits at you when annoyed. It happened to me! Each country visited produced much for my portfolios, but I could produce countless books and paintings without ex- hausting my material on Peru, my favorite of all South Ameri- can countries. In the future, bit by bit, I shall attempt to. recreate it all on canvas. And some day I hiope to return to- Peru-to magnificent, dirty, old, old Cuzco. In the mean- time I am seriously aware for the first time of our own American Indian. I am aware of all that my beloved Okla- homa has to olfer me, as a painter. It may be that I shall not feel the urge to return immediately to Peru after all! 11 I I I SANTA REVIEWS THE WORLD CA Circular Letter from the North Polej By Barbara McGill CGrade 93 I My Dear Friends: I am the living symbol of Christmas, Santa Claus himself. To you, the world's general public, I submit my qualifications. Besides being merry and jovial, I am fat, to represent abun- dance and plenty to eat. My clothes are of red wool, to rep- resent warmth and heartiness. Since I come in the winter time, what creatures are to draw my sleigh other than reindeer that thrive on snow? And where should be my home but the North Pole itself? I am as old as Father Time and have a long white beard, but my rosy cheeks show that in spirit I am as young as a child. Over my shoulder I carry a pack full of toys and gifts for children. Could anything better represent the spirit of Christmas? The idea of giving gifts originated at the birth of Christ when the shepherds and wise men praised him. In some countries the giving of gifts comes on St. Nicholas, feast day, December 6. In these lands I am called St. Nicholas because he was a bishop fin the fourth centuryj who was a special friend and protector of good little children. Now in Belgium, Holland, Switzerland, Austria, and Ger- many I carry on tradition by bringing toys to the good and switches to the bad. In Germany I am called Kris Kringle. My name has many forms. From the'Di1tch settlers in New York three hundred years ago cameiSt. Nicholas, slightly different from old Holland's San Nicolaas. Later, colonists changed the name to Sankt Claus and finally to the American Santa Claus. In France, Spain, and Italy the people go by what is said in the Bible to the effect that the wise men brought gifts to Jesus twelve days after his birth. Thus Christmas itself is a day of complete reverence and children receive presents twelve days later. Italy has a one day fast, starting December 23. South America, of course, does not think of me as you do in the United States because there is no ice or snow. Christ- mas in the lands south of the equator is a mid-summer celebra- tion. It would be rather unpleasant for them to think of me clad in wool from head to foot, while they are all so hot. Undoubtedly I do my greatest amount of work in the United States. You people keep me very busy because you want so much under your Christmas trees. It is a rugged job sliding down millions of chimneys with that enormous bag of toys every Christmas Eve and I've been doing it for so long that if you don't clean your chimneys this year, I'll go on strike like the coal miners. Through all my years as manager of the North Pole and all my many duties I have been able to keep my good nature for which I am famous because I know that I am useful and loved by the little children everywhere and that is quite enough thanks for what I do. I have received billions of letters through the years. If you will recall your childhood, you will remember some particular little letter scribbled to me, so I thought it about time for me to write a letter to the world. I have only one complaint to make: I find that in many countries I am not so welcome as I used to be. In many places I don't like the looks of things. I hoped to find peace in the world, but some people are filling their minds with fear instead of filling their children's Christ- mas stockings with toys. By next Christmas, perhaps, you will have peace in your hearts as well as in your homes. I have tried to give you a review of this old world and 12 ' 14-0' how it spends its Christmas. I shall be your Kris Kringle, your St. Nicholas, and your Santa Claus as long as you will have me and believe in the spirit of Christmas. A Merry Christmas to all. -Santa CANDLES FOR CHRISTMAS By Josephine Davis fGrade 9D A Candles and Christmas have gone together ever since the day was first observed. When Christ was born, there were probably millions of candles burning, for December twenty- fifth with the Hebrews was the occasion of the Feast of Lights. Also on December twenty-fifth the Romans celebrated the feast of Saturn, exchanging candles as tokens of friendship. A great deal of uncertainty surrounds the origin of candles. They are believed to have been used first a century or two be- fore the birth of Christ. Before this time torches, braziers, and toil-lamps were used. The first candles were very crudely made. Fat, tallow, or some resinous substance covered a rush or papyrus wick. Up to the fifteenth century beeswax candles were used only in churches because they thought that bees originated in Paradise. It is an old English belief that bees sing in their hives on Christmas Eve in praise of Christ. The candle, when seen today shining brightly out onto' a dark street, gives the passer-by a feeling of good cheer, just as it did in the old days. MERRY CHRISTMAS? By Ann Arnold KG:-ade 93 Although you, the people of America, have plenty, I, Johanna von Muenster, have nothing. My family is sick, some dead, always conscious of hunger, gnawing and overpowering. We have an estate. Black Forest Hall it is called. Now the beautiful formal garden smolders with the smell of death, and its lovely fiowers and shrubberies are blackened, bruised, and dead. My father, Carl von Muenster, a proud Prussian general, lies in Berlin rubble. My brothers, Carl II and Wilhelm, con- ceited S. S. guards, are now outside Leningrad, in the hard, snow-covered unwelcoming earth. Friedrich, my youngest brother, a German youth organizer, lies in a coma from a blow on the head by a Nazi traitor. You speak of the famous German fraulein. Well, she has had her spirit broken, her ideals destroyed. Her clothes? She has none other than those on her back. For all the food she gets she struggles, cheats, and steals. In my home no fiaming candles glow, no goose lies simmer- ing in the sauce, rich with seasoning. My brother moans and I must go to him. Can I find it in my heart to say to you, Peace on Earth, Good Will to Menu? Do you think' you could say it? CHRISTMAS 'TO ME By Nancy Lou Crain CGrade 113 To me Christmas is more than a yule log, holly, or a Christmas tree. It's more than good cheer and the giving of gifts.' Christmas is even more than the feast -of the home and of children, the feast of love and friendship. It's more than all these together. Christmas is Christ, the Christ' of justice and charity, of freedom and peace. The joy of Christmas is a joy that no one can kill, for it is the joy of the soul and the soul can't die. Poverty cannot prevent the joy of Christmas, for it is a joy that wealth here on earth can't give. Time can't take Christmas away, for it belongs to eternity. December. 1946 - MISS HOLLAND HALL I and HOLY NIGHT l By Laura Clarke 1Grade Sl An elderly lady was spending a lonely Christmas in a strange hotel in an equally strange, unfamiliar city. It was now dusk and Christmas Eve. She had wandered down to the lounge amongst the other hotel guests and sat all alone in a corner. She felt out of place and lost, for she was used to spending her holidays with her loved ones. Suddenly she was aroused by a group of bright faced children singing the old familiar carols. Silent night! Holy night! All is calm, all is bright, Round yon virgin mother and Child, Holy Infant, so tender and mild, Sleep in heavenly peace, Sleep in heavenly peace. Hearing these songs she had heard so many times before, she felt as though she were not so alone after all. The clear and sweet notes brought back memories of childhood and all the happy Christmases she had experienced in the past. So, you see, this holiday isn't always a happy and gay time for all, but often a sad and lonely one. Let's try our best to make someone happy who is alone. For the real spirit of Christ's birthday is to do good for someone. Carols may drive away cares and stimulate a heart that is heavy. l..et's sing and gladden the hearts of others, and enrich our own in so doing. THE ORIGIN OF SANTA CLAUS By Marie Dickason KC-irade 73 In the fourth century there lived a kind old bishop named St. Nicholas, who was a special friend of all children. One time late at night on Christmas Eve Nicholas climbed the roof of a poor man's house, slid with ease down the large chimney, and dropped a gold coin into each of the stockings hanging to dry on the opposite wall. Our own Santa Claus is merely another form of St. Nich- olas. In fact we often call him St, Nick. It is supposed that he was brought to the New World by the Hollanders, who first settled in and around New York. To us Santa Claus is shown as a person, a merry and jovial one, dressed in red to represent warmth and cheer. His sleigh is drawn by eight trusty reindeer. Could there be a better symbol than he to represent Christmas? HOW SANTA CLAUS CAME TO BE By Mary Louise Hanks iGrade 73 Mister Nicholas, a rich man, was walking along a cobble- stone street in London, when he heard about a destitute man and his two daughters that were starving. That night Nicholas went to the poor man's home and dropped a. bar of gold through a window. He did this a second time, but the third time he attempted it, he was caught. For such a generous deed his name was changed to Saint Nicholas. This is the origin of our old St. Nick or as children more often call him, Santa Claus. The real Saint Nicholas helped others every day. If more people followed his ex- ample, the world would be a much happier place in which to dwell. MISS HOLLAND HALL - December, 1946 .I AN EXCITING PACKAGE By Pat Flint iGrade 63 Christmas was here. Yes--Christmas again! We hurriedly dressed and rushed down stairs. There was the glittering tree, its ornaments shining like big balls of fire. I dashed to the tree and tore open all my Christmas packages. I felt as if I were on top of the world with all my beautiful gifts. Then over in a corner I spied a big box. I thought it had only lights and ornaments in it, so I paid no attention to it. Then Mother exclaimed: There is something else for you, Pat, and she pointed toward the big box. I ran over to it and looked in. There to my utter surprise was the cutest little dog I have ever seen. That was the biggest and the happiest Christmas I ever remember. HOW DO YOU DO, MR. CLAUS By Charlotte Cotton lGrade 91 A title often found at this season in magazine or paper is the rather touching When I First Found Out There Is No Santa. This is usually the story of some innocent five- year-old, who stumbles upon the much coveted Christmas present in the dark recesses of lVlother's dresser drawer. My story is quite the reverse. It might be called, The First and Last Time I Met Santa Claus. About ten years ago I was a knowing youngster of four, who dehnitely didn't believe in Santa Claus. Then a strange thing happened that changed my entire outlook on this merry gentleman. It was almost nine o'clock, much too late for good little girls to be up, but tonight was Christmas Eve, a very special occasion. Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Who could it be? For some strange reason Daddy didnit seem too terribly surprised, but I guess all adults take unusual things in their stride. Anyway, Daddy opened the door, and who should appear but a merry old man with twink- ling eyes, red suit, and a snowy white beard. It was Santa Claus! I certainly believed in the old gentleman now, but sudden panic seized me. What if he had heard I wasn't a Santa Claus fan and didn't write a fan letter special delivery to the North Pole every year? While Stephen, my twin brother, giggled with delight, I headed for the nearest clothes closet, It took almost fifteen minutes to lure me from my hiding place. However, when I saw my brother sitting on Santa's knee and receiving candy with every coo and smile, that was too much. I guess Mr. Claus hadn't heard about my disbelief, for he held me on his other knee and secretely gave me some special candy made at the North Pole. I was thrilled, although it did resemble Stover's Best, but then I guess all candy looks and tastes more or less alike. Finally, it came time for Santa to leave. I smacked a childish kiss on the withered old cheek and wished him luck on his journey through the skies. I was terribly worried that Santa couldn't get to all the children in all the world and everyone would be very angry at me. I guess he made it, because I haven't heard a com- plaint in all these ten years. Maybe you laugh at this little incident. For myself, I still believe in Santa Claus. For Santa is the spirit of joy at the Christmas season. Whenever I say, Merry Christmas, I am just saying that I believe in the old saint, who symbolizes the happiness of giving and sharing with others. 13 ' I I CHRISTMAS TO ME By Sue Adams iGrade 9, What do I like about Christmas? The wild confusion of last minute shopping, Gifts with ribbons and bells a-Hopping, The Christmas tree, with angel o'er-topping, Kitchen smells, with corn a-popping. The luscious taste of Christmas cake, Candy and puddings of Mother's make, Smoldering logs that crack and break, The sad, sweet stories that bring an ache, Christmas carols for Jesus' sake: That's what I like about Christmas. What do I like about Christmas? The early grey of Christmas morn, Winter's spawn, wildly borne By blasts of North Wind's horn, Sifting snowflakes, fluttering, torn, Drifting on casements, hiding the worn, Dressing the landscape in glittering white, Like angels' wings, heavenis own sight, A purified image of Holy Night, As darkness Hees before the light. That's what I like about Christmas. And what is the BEST about Christmas? The expectant hush, the open door, Presents and sparkles upon the floor, The Oh'sy' and Ah,s,' and I adoref: That thrill the giver even more Than the grateful receiver of bounteous store. That is the BEST about Christmas. 14-0' CHRISTMAS EVE IN A TOY SHOP By Jeannie Warren fGrade 83 'Twas the eve before Christmas, when all through the store All the dolls were chatting about Christmas once more, Many questions were flaunted at the eldest dollg What is Christmas? they inquiringly would call. Why, Christmas, she would retort, is a wonderful day! All the children are visited by Santa Claus gay. He's a little old gentleman quite lively and round, Who comes down the chimney with a spring and a bound. He wears a red suit which fits to a T, And he has a large paunch, which shakes with great glee. In an instant to the dolls' eyes what does appear? Old Santa himself and eight tiny reindeer! His miniature sleigh is filled with bright toys To be given to all the good girls and boys. As he speedily disappears out of their sight, They could hear him call from his starry height, A merry Christmas to all, And to all a good night. CHRISTMAS RUSH By Eddie May Gregory fGrade 7l I'm just an employee at the Blue Banners, But at least my mother taught me some manners. They say the customer is always right, Yet sometimes,I think they're just a bit tight, They brawl over stockings and fight over price, Always bring back wares and hnger merchandise. The grubby child a white dress must feel: Fat women try on size ten with great zeal And tear a large hole in the expensive brown seal. 0 CHRISTMAS GIFTS By Ann Henry lGrade 91 When a girl is very young, I mean from one to three, She'd like to find a teddy bear Beneath the Christmas tree. When Christmas rolls around again, She'll want the most of all To be the mother of a child, A pretty baby doll. Now she has reached the age of ten And feels she's quite grown up, She'll want to be the owner of A little Cocker pup. Next year she feels the time has come For her to own a bike, So she can get around with speed And will not have to hike. In two more years she's quite mature, She wants no childish toys, A pink net formal would be nice To fascinate the boys. 14 So I heave a sigh, alas! alack! I hope such characters never come back. THE NATIVITY By Elaine Bush CC-irade 73 The snow is falling lightly, Gently down to earth, The angels on a night like this Proclaimed our Savior's birth. THE CHRIST CHILD By Sally Teale QGrade 93 The night was drawing nigh, The stars were in the skyg Mary and Joseph were by the manger And in the soft hay lay a little stranger, Around his head he wore a circle of light, And up in the sky one star shone bright This little stranger was the baby Jesus, And the star which shone so bright Led the shepherds through the night, Led the kings, who came to see The royal child who was born to be Our own, our Jesus Christ, Our Lord, our God, our King, For he belongs to you and me. IN A B-29 By Kaye Creekmore 1Grade 73 'Twas on Christmas Eve In the midst of the night, When I stole down stairs Past the dim hall light. But what was that I spied through the curtain? Why, it must be Saint Nick, That is quite certain, He had a red face, With a long snowy beard, And a fat little tummy That looked as if tiered. He scattered gifts in the stockings And all 'round the tree, Then wiggled up the chimney, Preparing to flee. Through my window I saw him, On a steep incline, Soaring high through the air, In a B-29. December, 1946 - MISS HOLLAND HALL I JACK FROST By Marie Dickason lGrade 73 Jack Frost creeps around to the houses at night, Painting the windows with silvery light, He strokes the trees with the utmost care, And polishes smoothly the icicles rare. When morning approaches, he steals away, A masterpiece done ere the break of day. A WHITE CHRISTMAS By Shirley Weber lGrade 71 With a whirl the snowflakes come tumbling down, Covering housetops in village and town, Preparing a scene for Christmas week, When Santa appears with his reindeer sleek. Within the children are trimming the tree, Climbing high on the ladders and laughing with glee. What fun when the year comes to a pause, And everyone's feted by old Santa Claus. OPEN HOUSE By Priscilla Carter fGrade 63 The fresh sweet smell of the evergreen Adds much cheer to the Christmas sceneg The rip roaring fire snaps in your face, While you're stringing corn at the popcorn race. The door flies open in a gust of windy Visitors enter, friend after friend, Laden down with gifts, laughter, and cheer, Wishing all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. A CHRISTMAS WISH By Mary Nelson lGrade 75 This is the time for old St. Nick With his reindeer curricd bright and slick. This is the time he soars through the air, Distributing presents around everywhere. This is the time when everyone's glad, And my greatest wish is that nobody's sad! A MOUSE'S CHRISTMAS By Elaine Bush fGrade 73 I'm just a little wee brown mouse, Left all alone in the rambling house. The children are tucked in their beds So all is quiet, not even a peep. I run to the kitchen fast as I can, And there I await that jolly old man. fast As soon as he's gone, I race to the tree To see what's in store for wee little me! CHRISTMAS TO ME By Barbara McGill fGrade 93 asleep, To know that you have cheered some heart That otherwise felt lonely and apartg To see the light in a small child's eyes, And with it that look of wonder and surpriseg To give another the gift that was meant to be For you upon your Christmas tree: That's the true Christmas spirit. THE CHRISTMAS VISITOR ENY, MENY, MINY, MOE CHRISTMAS DAY AT SEA By Elaine Bush iGrade 73 He stole down the chimney, fHis sled stood outsidelg He could hardly squeeze through For his paunch was so wide. He filled all the stockings With the utmost of care, For he knew that at Christmas Each wants a share. He peeped at the children Tucked in their beds, And thought of the dreams That danced through their heads. And how glad he was He'd completed his mission, For to make people happy Is his only ambition. PEACE ON EARTH By Cadijah Helmerich KGrade 73 The snow whirls down in flakes of white Covering the earth with a pale blue lightg The sun sparkles bright on the snowy crest, Glory reigns and all is blest.

By Suzanne Lindsay fGrade 75 Down the chimney He lands with a thudg His nose is as red As a little rose budg His whiskers are long, All covered with soot, In the midst of his hurry He lands on one foot. He opens his sack, He fumbles for toysg But alas and alackl He's forgotten the BOYS! MISS HOLLAND HALL - December, 1946 By Sid Reinhardt fGrade 71 Oh. I longed to be a sailor, And roam the seven seas, But when my dream came true, I wasn't very pleased.

Forlorn was I on a distant shore, Where were customs strange to meg If ever I get home, I thought, Contented I shall be! CHRISTMAS By Ronda Russell iGrade 91 The Christmas tree is lighted, The stockings now are hung, All the children are excited, For St. Nick is soon to come. Outside the snow is falling, The stars are shining bright, Soon Santa will be calling To his reindeer for the flight. Down the chimney he will come To leave his gifts for everyone, All the children will shout with glee To see what he left beside the tree. it 15 BEST GF EVERYTHING That s our sincere wlsh for you on thls Chnstmas 1946 and the same thmg goes for the new year And for the best of everythlng wearable t e newest and most wanted apparel come to Froug s Thlrd Floor the shop for the young heart' I QI F' ' M ' ... h Q E lil nu 3, TUIHE-H-HHLUH P Volume IV, No. 2 Holland Hall, Tulsa, Oklahoma December, 1946 Santa Threatens to Boycott Holland Hall ODD REQUESTS BY STUDENTS STUMP HIM Dear Santa Claus: We, thetgirls of Holland Hall, are a little worried lest -F AX WOULD IT BE TOO MUCH?

And next, of course, a bus stream-lined, To take us to our daily grind. And if you would please ALL the leases, just add some boys to all our classes. This would please us every one, And make our school day full of fun. Page 2 TOME-A-HAWK December, 1946 T O M E - A - H A W K Miss Holland Hall's Fun Section Send all contributions to: Julie Flint, Editor Marilyn Lindsay, Debby Page, Marilyn Sexton, Assistants Mrs. Ty Gibbs, Sponsor EDITORIAL This so-called editorial is to help the upper classmen's nerves out when they hear an eighth grader coming down the hall, and also to give the eighth grade a little deserved praise. Crash! Boom! Bang! Oh, another demerit. Those were the familiar words which signified the class of '48 in THEIR first year in the upper school, meaning the eighth grade. This was a glorious year for us, but a depressing one for the faculty and the dignified juniors and seniors! One of the outstanding events for us in this year was M. J. Fleeger's campaign- ing for Bricker and always hunting for her glasses, which were either on top of her head or three-quarters of the way down on her nose. Crouch was our first Mardi Gras queen, who had all the poise imaginable--in the class rooms only. The rest of us were Frances with her new fuzzy permanent and gold rimmed glasses, Tish, meek and plump, who always had her pencils swiped, Sally, who was quite plump especially in the face, Julie, who was plump not only in the face, and Margaret, who started quite young cheering for O.M.A. We all started wearing lipstick, which was always smeared all over our faces and our papers, with the exception of Janet, who was afraid it wouldn't go with her carrot- top hair. How grown up we thought we were, but how killing we really must have looked. We mustn't forget to give special thanks to Mrs. Gibbs, out sponsor, who I'm sure would have grey hair if she'd had another class like ours! That was also the year fhope this doesn't give the eighth grade any more ideasj we raced through the halls, tripped people, turned on the juke box during study hall, climbed out Miss Craig's win- dow, squirted coke bottles in French class, turned off the furnace, spent our treasury on Mrs. Gibbs and the seniors fCatch!J, had water fights, laughed and ate constantly, swooned over Van John- son, and, strange to say, spent our Sat- urdays working oif demerits. My, how we've changed! The juniors who now also include Celia, Ruby, June, Pat, Nancy Lou, and Sue, are hoping that next year will be more or less a reunion with everyone in- cluding Rosie and Do Jo back for our last great high school year. We know that we shall go down in the history of Holland Hall as being the most out- rageous class that ever traipsed through her halls, but one thing we can be sure of: We won't be forgotten. Now this little sketch might be called, The Class of '48, Then and Now. We have long left behind our series of es- capades, but we have not forgotten them. That is the reason why we hereby make a plea for patience with our present eighth graders' high spirits. EIGHTH GRADERS DO GROW UP. I -Julie Flint 1A Juniorj 1i THE EIGHTH GRADE'S CHRISTMAS PRAYER By Judy Holleman fGrade 83 Here is the Eighth Grade's Christmas need, So, dear Santa, please take heed! First an A plus in Latin for all, ' The two Barbaras ask for no more study hall. Poor Louie begs for a faultless rule To cinch the DIRECT OBJECT here in school. Laura asks a reminder to remember her glasses, Perchance she'll get an A in all of her classes. Word Problems Cornie asks to under- stand. Priscilla prefers a physique grand! Help poor Nancy to unravel a mystery By enabling her to understand history. Reports without grades Jeannie does re- quest. , Judy insists, Oh, just ditto the rest. This is our last and most ardent wish- Slice the cake bigger at lunch, our favorite dish. i.l.l...l-l- The inquisitive Caesar students have discovered that senior means older than the juniors , juniors means younger than the seniors , sophomore means wise-foolish fwise in one's own opinion, foolish in the opinion of othersj , freshman just means extraordinarily fresh, The Holland Hall Type: Impressions By the Registrar, Fern Hartsook To be called upon for any news and feature story, even a humorous one, makes me definitely the stupid man try- ing to express himself- Speechlessl What do I think of the girls in Holland Hall? I am quite impressed by their zeal for education. In fact, my feelings go even deeper in trying to determine who is the more eager, Ann Stewart or her dog, Speck! If perfect attendance means anything, Speck draws an A-I-. Won- cler if I should send a report card to him? Then, too, I'm still amazed at Miss Sharp's lessons in Plane Geometry. I seem to recall some kind of postulate to the effect that a straight line is the short- est distance between two points. Imagine my surprise when a certain group of sophomore girls straight from Miss Sharp's geometry class insisted on a field trip to Philbrook that the shortest way led via Cascia Hall. Q! E! Dl It is quite clear that the upper school girls love animals, but please note how far it goes in the lower school. One day recently, ,Mrs. Kiker was teaching a tongue twister to the fourth, fifth, and sixth grades: When the wicked witches whisk switches, which witch whisks switches swiftest'? Out of a clear sky, Jacque Elaine Lair broke in with, Mrs, Kiker, I've got a horse! It makes me very happy to learn that the girls of Holland Hall are interested not only in preparatory but in higher education as well. Their interest in col- leges extends far and near. But what could be the reason for Marilyn Lind- say's keen interest in the Pembroke Country Day catalogue? Alas, poor Dumpy! Now I'll no longer pursue him about the dining room dur- ing the lunch h-our trying vainly to con- nect him with an exit-but alas, poor Dumpy. You all, since this can boast no be- ginning and no middle, then let it have no ending. You all does have a friend- ly connotation like the spirit of Holland Hall itself. , Instructor: Define the English word, 'morator-ium'. Mary Lee: A place where they take dead people.

' A CHRISTMAS DREAM By Jan Moses lGrade 103 'Twas the night before Christmas and I climbed into bed, While visions of Santa Claus whirled through my head. And I dreamed that Christmas had come and passed: That holidays naturally cannot last: That now at my door I stood forlorn And waited the honk of Walter's ho-rn. But when the horn tooted-believe me, it's true- I went out to a bus of silver and blue, A big, spacious bus, that when moving never made A muss, a fuss, a rattle, a sound, A bus that didn't shake up and down, But had seats softly padded and placed around. One didn't climb over or step on toes, Because there were aisles, wide aisles, be- tween rows. A breeze from the window came as a warning Informing me that 'twas Christmas morning. What, ho! I've been dreaming! All this is mere seeming! Well, 'tis Christmas morning, Why be sad? Why be blue? Not yet, for who knows-my dream MAY come true! E25- -i- -F' '4- --:r Mihai This month our fashion article will de- scribe our ideal for a well dressed school girl at Holland Hall. She shuffles down the hall laughing and talking and wear- ing for her uniform a white blouse usually minus her tie and a dark blue skirt, which usually she has fitted a little tighter than necessary because she's always plan- ning to lose weight. On her feet them are always thick, wool socks of various colors and dirty saddle shoes, which is the latest style. As for her hair, it is worn from any way imaginable to any way unimaginable, but as for the color, it usually depends on the sweater. On her lips she usually has a thick coat of red paint, -or else no paint at all. As a complement to her uniform I mustn't forget those heavy books, which are about six inches thick and twelve inches long and which she swears weigh a ton. Then on top the pile of books she carries her very small purse, which is filled with only the necessary things to get through the day with, such as emery boards, nail polish, not one, but several shades of lipstick, a box of mascara, gum of any kind or flavor, candy, pen, stationery, stamps, compact, and that useful pencil. This concludes the short summary of our well-dressed school girl. Any re- semblance no any student in the Upper or Lower School is entirely intentional. Do you see yourself in this description?

They have been the pleasantest and most interesting years of my life. Meeting the many Hne girls and teachers, becoming friends with both, is something that I shall always hold dear. As for Oakwold itself, one can learn from any girl who has lived within her sheltering and friendly walls how much the place means to all of us. Possibly some of our readers who have not seen Oakwold would be interested in knowing more about it. I will try to give you a picture of Holland Hall's school residence that one could see if one were to drop in on us. Driving up the beauti- ful driveway one notes the lovely campus, an estate of thirty- three acres. All around are tall trees, which at two or three happy times during the winter are covered with snow. Ap- proaching nearer, one sees a mansion, a large, very beautiful home. It is not just a large dorm where a group of girls are housedg Oakwold is to us very like our own homes, Going inside you come into the great hall with its wide stately stairs. Hand tufted rugs cover hall and staircase. At Christmas time the hall is the setting for our Christmas tree. Here we have our Christmas party. It is really a pretty picture to see all the girls gathered around the tree in their long dresses, singing carols and waiting with breathless expectation for Santa to come. On the floors above one can take a glimpse of the rooms where the girls live. To the right, on the second floor is the green room, where Marilyn Sexton, Joan Story, Jessie NVest- phal, Maurine Johnson, Beverly Chase, and Susie Skinner live. How unlike the typical dormitory room. With the rich mater- ials of draperies and bedspreads and the beautiful harmony of coloring, it is truly lovely. The light Hxtures are one of the most outstanding features to me. They are made to simulate flower petals, very pretty and dainty. Four large windows overlooking the south lawn, the swimming pool, and tennis courts add to the charm of the room. Attached to this spacious room are two large dressing rooms, two large closets, and bath. The room is gaily decorated with pictures, banners, and the like. The vic is in one corner with neat stacks of records beside it. Going down the hall a couple of doors, one looks into another large room, where three juniors live, Ruby Webb, June Fletcher, and Pat Chesnut have made it like home. At the present time it is decorated with a Christmas tree and all the trimmings. The bright lights and candles make it look very cheerful. As you pass by, you will hear Ruby singing White Christmas and June running to salvage her record. Still farther on, one Ends Jean Newton, BeeBe Dunivan, Linda Wolferman, Beverly Ewing, Martha McCabe, Maryanne Harwood, and Kitty Ledbetter, all gathered in the second 18 Hoor sitting-room, They are gathered around a small Christ- mas tree, which is piled high with presents. They are singing songs and telling stories to anyone inclined to listen. Going down two stories to the club room, you will probably run into Tam Dudley, Pat Davis, Cora Jean Mundy, Susie Adams, and others playing bridge. They have formed a bridge club and soon will be challenging the seniors. The play- room is a really large room. It has been lent for lecture pur- poses and accommodates a hundred or more persons. Yet it is cozy. The comfortable. of the estate divans-very Just off the closed, there Over the mantle of Oakwold.

When the door is of this place. The wall is a dark panel and instead of a door knob there is a little peg that is used to open the door. Rather mysterious and excit- ing, isn't it? Not so long ago we had a dance at the residence. It was held on the main floor in the ball-room, which the girls had decorated for Thanksgiving. The O.M.A. cadets from Clare- more, Oklahoma, came down for the dance. Miss Juana Lee Bell, dancing instructor at O.M.A. and at Holland Hall, was on hand to supervise with Martha McCabe assisting. Every afternoon yofu may find juniors and seniors in the junior-senior room. This is no other than the sun-room lead- ing from the ball-room. Here you will see BeeBe Dunivan, Linda Wolferman, Joan Story, and Kitty Ledbetter playing bridge at the table which Mrs. Bryan kindly donated. Here too, you may see June Fletcher and Stubby Sexton playing honeymoon over in one corner, Smoky, Jr. fI'Iarw'0odJ and Jessie Westphal playing Russian bank in the center of the floor, and all others reading, dancing, playing gin rummy, or seeing who can tell the tallest tale of woe. Each Tuesday night is dress-up night. This is the night when all don suits or dresses instead of the casual sweater and skirt. On Tuesday evenings also we have dinner guests. We have had for dinner board members and their wives, several staff members, and friends and parents of the girls. Now that Christmas is almost here, the house is bustling with activity. With thoughts of holiday parties and dances whirling through their heads, girls are planning what to wear on that trip home, what to pack for this special occasion or that. We wish all of you could drop in and join us at Oakwold in our yuletide celebration. We think you would like our beautiful Oakwo-ld and that you would enjoy mingling with us even in our Christmas rush.

Schools visited by other groups included Barstow and Sunset Hill Schools in Kansas City. The project was a comprehensive one sponsored by the Holland Hall faculty and student council. Representatives were chosen with the utmost care. In homeroom meetings classes discussed and listed the requisite qualities demanded. They decided, for instance, that a repre- sentative must have poise and ability to meet people easily, must be a student with a fairly good grade average, must be dependable, observant, able to carry ideas through to a success- ful conclusion, must have school spirit and a genuine interest in her school. Twenty-five names from grades nine to twelve were submitted by the classes to the joint student council and Oakwold house council, from which fifteen were chosen. Pic- tures of the students making the surveys are shown above. HOCKADAY SCHOOL, DALLAS By Debby Page This year Holland Hall planned several student trips to other girls' schools in the Mid-west that we might see how these schools are organized and acquire new ideas. The group going on the first trip left the evening of November 6 to visit Hockaday School, in Dallas, Dr. Cornelia Tomes, director of Holland Hall, was sponsor for this trip. The delegates included Marion McMillin, president of the student council: Jean Newton, president of the residence council: Ruby Webbg Debby Pageg and Ann Henry. The delegates were provided with around twenty topics, on which the Holland Hall student body had asked for a report. The list included such topics as these: music, art, and dramatic departmentsg academic standards and curriculum: assemblies and chapel: publications: uniforms: student council, student supervision of study halls: senior privileges: provision for mak- ing up absences, relation of day and boarding students, school plant. Thursday morning we found ourselves on a large campus, the setting for buildings in the colonial style of architecture. The campus is striking for its magnificent old oak trees. We learned that Hockaday has an enrollment of 190, of whom 110 are boarders. The boarding unit' comprises a separate home for seniors, another for the special form between juniors and seniors, and a main building for underclassmen. In the boarding department there is a special check system by which girls are able to earn special privileges. Each girl keeps a chart and checks herself on whether she gets up on time, keeps her room neat, and the like. Hockaday has a strong athletic board. The president, who is always chosen from the senior class, automatically becomes a member of the student council. School colors are green and white and they have two rival teams named by these colors. Games are played between these teams and also between grades. 20 These games are played AFTER school, and everyone enters into the contest with a great deal of spirit. Hockaday has an excellent hon-or study hall, supervised by a girl appointed by the student council. If a student disturbs others, she is supposed to give herself a check. If she fails to do so, the student supervisor is obligated to give the check and tell her about it, The study hall is kept perfectly quiet at all times. The students have a great deal of respect for their school officers. They are always cooperative, and there is a business-like attitude about everything that we liked very much. The Hockaday girls were exceedingly cordial and friendly and many times went out of their way to make us feel at home. We should like to say Thank you for two delightful and profitable days at Hockaday. BARSTOW, KANSAS CITY By jan Moses Holland Hall, believing that no school is perfect, has sent student representatives to visit other girls' schools that operate on similar principles to our own school. Holland Hall hopes to get worth while ideas from these visits, to learn what they have that is desirable for any school to adopt. That is the reason why Kitty Ledbetter, Joan Story, Julia Ann Park, Ann Bailliere, and I, with Miss Gustafson, our chaperon, left for Kansas City on November 11, to return the evening of Novem- ber 13. Some made the trip by air, some by train. Finally after arriving in Kansas City at different times, we all assembled at the Bellerive Hotel. The next morning everyone was up at 6:45 preparing for the long awaited day at Barstow School. Barstow had pre- pared for us a special assembly at 8:45, for which we were hurrying. Upon arrival, we all rushed in, for we were five minutes late. We were met by the very pleasant and gracious principal, Miss Winifred Turner, who went with us to the assembly room. The students sang several hymns, recited the Lord's prayer, and made announcements concerning the schedule of events for that day. After assembly we visited classes. The senior representatives, Kitty Ledbetter and Joan Story, with Miss Gustafson, visited a senior class. The remain- ing three of us visited a sophomore English class, where they were reading 'll-lamletf' It was a very interesting class. Also the first morning we accompanied the art students to the Nelson Art Gallery, primarily to see the Chinese art, as that was the art students' subject at the time. The museum is noted 'for its extensive Chinese exhibit. At 12:30 a delicious meal was served in the lunch room at school. The remainder of the first day we visited classes and were shown over the school building proper, the gymnasium, and the dormitory, all separate buildings. On the second day we were honored by being allowed to visit a session of the student council. The organization is much like our own: it is sponsored by Miss Turner and two faculty members. In the afternoon Miss Turner took us sight-seeing. She showed us the area around Barstow, which is a cultural center. Across the street is the Kansas City Uni- December. 1946 - MISS HOLLAND HALL ll 4 Eva 91? Q sephine Davis kl Martha McCabe Joan Story Jean Newton Julie Flint Margaret Evans Ann Bailllere . President of Oaltwold House Council versity. We saw Sunset Hill School, and Pern, the boys, private school. We rode through Kansas City's beautiful parks and past her fine private estates. We were dropped off at our hotel. We thanked Miss Turner for such an enjoyable and profitable visit. Then rather sadly we went to our rooms to pack for the return trip. We liked many things about Barstow. We liked particularly their marvelous gym. The building consists of two floors. The first provides shower facilities and is equipped with roomy metal lockers. The second floor comprises the gymnasium proper, instructors' offices, and a few club rooms. There is a stage at one end of the big gymnasium, where the students put on plays. We all feel that during our two days we gained much valuable information and we hope we have made many new friends. Barstow is a fine school with lovely old traditions and much school spirit. SUNSET HILL, KANSAS CITY By Charlotte Cotton Promptly at nine o'clock, on Monday, November 18, five Holland Hall students and chaperon mounted the stone steps leading to the main room of Sunset Hill School, Kansas City. The group included Margaret Evans, Julie Flint, Martha McCabe, Josephine Davis, Charlotte Cotton, with Miss Fern Hartsook, Holland Hall registrar as chaperon. Thus began a very enjoyable comparative study of school work and activities. Sunset Hill is one of the outstanding progressive schools of the country. A progressive school is a bit different from the usual school in the sense that it experiments with new ideas and does not necessarily follow traditional methods. The students are allowed more student-initiated projects and greater freedom from teacher supervision. One of the many features of the progressive system at Sunset Hill is the study hall. Instead of maintaining only one study hall, they have two regular study halls, the supervised hall and the honor hall. The supervised hall is a large room connecting with the main library. A teacher is always present to see that quiet is maintained. The honor hall is a smaller room, but also is an annex of the library. No teacher is in this room and only a student council representative is appointed to keep order. To be in the honor hall one must show herself capable of working quietly and must be dependable at all times. Every six weeks the student council chooses those they think worthy of this responsibility. A girl who is assigned to honor study hall may work wherever she chooses if only she leaves a note telling where she may be found. If a member of the student council is taken off the honor study hall list, she is automatically dropped from student council. The girls from Holland Hall had hardly walked into the carpeted hallway of Sunset Hill when they were beset by a dozen eager voices, Are you for the Bronze or the Gold? Soon it was discovered that the Bronze and Gold are two closely matched athletic teams. The spirit of rivalry is so great that soon every Holland Hall girl found herself rooting for one team or the other. That afternoon there was a hockey MISS HOLLAND HALL - December, 1946 tournament to decide which team would receive the hockey cup for the year. The Gold and Bronze teams had each won two, lost two, and tied one, so this was the most important game of the season. It was exciting with first one team, then the other making a goal, Holland Hall girls are still in doubt as to who will win the cup for the game ended in a 2-2 tie. Sunset Hill girls have reason to be proud of their beautiful gym. Built of stone, it was added several years after the school was established. The Saturday before our arrival, the gym was the scene of a gala dance, put on by the Athletic Associa- tion. Decorations were left up so that our representatives might see them. A paper blue sky gleamed with silver starsg underneath stood graceful palm trees. Scattered about were many tables. There was the effect of dining and dancing under the stars. It must have been a wonderful dance. On Monday evening Miss Green, principal of Sunset Hill, kindly took Miss Hartsook, Martha McCabe, Charlotte Cotton, and Josephine Davis to dinner in the Crystal Ballroom of the Muehlebach Hotel. The other representatives had a conflicting engagement and unfortunately were unable to have the enjoy- ment of Miss Green's hospitality. Tuesday morning, Miss Young, of the Sunset Hill staff, took the visiting girls on a tour of the residential district of Kansas City and on a visit to the Nelson Art Museum. This was greatly enjoyed by all. CONCLUSIONS FROM THE SURVEY By Julie Park On November 26, a meeting of the representatives to Hockaday, Barstow, and Sunset Hill was called in order to make use of the information gathered on the various trips. Meeting with the student representatives were the president of the Mothers' Association, Mrs. C. C. Hokeg two members of the Board of Trustees, Mrs. Lee Mulhall and Mrs. Dale Carterg two alumnae, Mrs. Richard Lawrence and Miss Miriam Lash- leyg Dr. Cornelia Tomes, director of Holland Hallg the mem- bers of the student and Oakwold councils and sponsors. The school surveys led to the following suggestions for im- provement in Holland Hall: 1. We need additional facilities. These should include a gymnasium, more books and magazines for the library, a new station wagon. The seniors are putting in their bid for a senior room also. 2. If we are to have more school spirit, we need a more effective athletic association, a cheering squad, school songs. 3. Our activity program should be improved by increased emphasis on singing fgroup and in glee clubj, on art, and on play production. 4. Our study hall system can be improved. An honor study hall is highly favored. Everyone would start in the honor study hall and if later the student council thinks a student unable to study without the supervision of a teacher, she will be removed from the honor study hall. Conference periods during the school week should be used for make-up work rather than the not quite satisfactory method of returning on Saturday. It will be the responsibility of the student council to work out definite plans to put these suggestions into operation. 21 .P , Q REPORTERS: Qi 05 Mary Louise Hall 4 Ruby Webb 6 Q, Martha McCabe 15, +949 Barbara Mcciu ,fcuoov Judy Holleman TVVELFTH GRADE NOTES The seniors were gratified that among the fifteen girls so carefully chosen by the student body to represent them at Hockaday, Barstow, and Sunset Hill Schwools, five were seniors. These included Marion McMi1lin, president of the student council, Jean Newton, president of the Oakwold council, Mar- garet Evansg Kitty Ledbetterg Joan Story. Among them our members visited all three schools. We chose Dutch iris as our contribution for Bulb Planting Day, observed on December 6. We asked for the plot sur- rounding the Holland Hall sign at the front north entrance to the grounds. Wielding the trowel were: Marion McMillin, Mary Louise Hall, Kitty Ledbetter, Marilyn Lindsay. Our class has charge of invitations and seating arrange- ment for the Christmas luncheon on December 20. Committee members include Margaret Evans, Mary Louise Hall, Kitty Ledbetter, Marilyn Lindsay, Marilyn Sexton. Holiday plans are gay. Jean Ache, BeeBe Dunivan, and Marilyn Sexton will attend the Cascia dance on December 20. Jean and Beebe will also take in the Junior Assembly on the same evening, as will Marion McMillin. Jean Ache will attend the Toppers' holiday party. Many of the class will attend Delta Pi and Rajah dances. ELEVENTH GRADE NOTES Always represented at football games and at dances, the juniors are none the less active in all school projects. We were represented by two class members on the trips to Dallas and Kansas City in connection with the preparatory school survey. Ruby Webb went to Hockaday, while Julie Flint was one of the representatives that visited Sunset Hill School, in Kansas City. For the Christmas festivities of December 19 and 20, the juniors will have charge of decorating the three Christmas trees. We are even now planning for the commencement dance, which the juniors always give for the graduating class. We have already made a contract with the band which is to furnish the music on that occasion. The juniors are also de- ciding the momentous question of senior ring. We are allowed to choose nearly any stone as setting. We are not, however, announcing our choice as yet. Some might say we are being optimistic about making our credits to be thinking of rings at all, but frankly we don't agree. Meantime, we are still trying to make money to finance our somewhat ambitious program. Don't forget that we are the agents for Holland Hall stickers, monogramed napkins and coasters. Be patriotic: place a sticker in your car window. TEN TH GRADE NOTES The gallivanting sophomores went off again to Oklahoma City over the long week-end, November 8 to 11. Beverly Chase, Beverly Ewing, and Susie Skinner went home to rest from school since the quarter had just ended. Adelaide Lyon took Carol Bryan, Katty White, and Virginia Ruprecht home with her to help celebrate the end of the quarter. Debby Page fiew to Dallas on Wednesday, November 6, to visit Hockaday School as a Holland Hall representative, so she spent the long week-end shopping in Dallas. 22 Town girls entertained Oakwold girls over the long week- end in various ways. Martha. Hoke had Marie Coyle over for Saturday and Sunday nights. Mary Lee Mulhall had Martha McCabe as her guest for luncheon and a show on Saturday and as her house guest Saturday night. Sunday the girls went sailing on Sequ-oyah Lake. Our class had a part in the assembly program celebrating Book Week. Julie Park gave a review of David Copperfieldng a poster illustration was supplied for this by Martha Hoke. Martha McCabe reviewed A Wac in Shangri-la , the illus- trative poster was drawn by Adelaide Lyon. We have been enthusiastic supporters of the Cotillion Club. Our sponsor, Miss Marian Hadley, is also faculty sponsor for the Cotillion Club. At the first dance of the year, on November 15, Mary Lee Mulhall was sophomore hostess. Also assisting were Mr. and Mrs. George Page and Mr. and Mrs. Lee Mulhall, sophomore parents. We are well represented in the after- noon dancing classes at Holland Hall and in the joint classes with O.M.A held at Claremore. NINTH GRADE CLASS NOTES Our class has been engaged in many projects recently, such as buying flower bulbs to be used in beautifying the school grounds, preparing skits and entertainment for the seniors, presenting a play at assembly, and visiting a session of the Traffic Court in the Municipal Courts Building. The Traffic Court procedure is highly interesting and in some ways rather amusing. It shows clearly some of the reasons why individuals are convicted of reckless driving. Two cases were heard on the afternoon we attended. One of these concerned a young woman who had run into a parked car while driving on a Tulsa city street late one night. After the evidence was presented, we were confident that she had been highly at fault, nevertheless we feared that the judge might let her go without a fine because of her good looks and peroxide treated hair. There were many witnesses and much discussion to ensure that the facts were straight before the verdict was rendered. The young woman was fined over 820.00 and costs and had her license temporarily sus- pended. The Trafiic Court is a good place to visit to find out how our local laws are enforced. We want to go again. Our representatives for bulb planting were Ann Stewart and Ronda Russell. The play which we staged on December 11 was a musical version of Bluebeard. To learn more about the presentation read the special article in this issue. The Class of 1950 wishes to all the readers of this magazine a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. EIGHTI-I GRADE CLASS NOTES The first quarter is over-the eighth grade's trial and error fmostly errorj. Even so, we carried olf a few honors. On the Academic Honor Roll Nancy Lackey and Laura Clarke made honorable mention, while Judy Holleman was on the Honors list. None of us seemed quite to make the Faculty Honor Roll. fXVe've resolved to remember our apples this quarter.j . During the Thanksgiving holiday we had a big time. Laura Clarke journeyed to Ada, Oklahoma, to visit a friend. Cor- nelia Hall, Priscilla Carter, Louise Curran, Jeannie Warren, and Barbara Brander cheered for Tulsa at the Tulsa-Arkansas football game held at the Skelly Stadium Thanksgiving after- noon. Nancy Lackey and Barbara Bulkley enjoyed the holiday at their homes in Bixby and Oklahoma City. Our whole group took in all of the shows, sitting through some twice. December, 1946 - MISS HOLLAND HALL INTERMEDIATE GRADES STAGE THANKSGIVING ONE-ACT The fourth and fifth grades were in charge of the Lower School assembly on Thursday morning, November 26, when they staged a one-act play, entitled Thanksgiving, Then and Now. Jacque Elaine Lair served as announcer. .Carolyn Holmes, as the modern harried housewife, gave a telephone scene with the red stage curtains as background. When the curtains were drawn back, one saw an authentic early Puritan interior, with fireplace, wooden churn, and spinning wheel. It was, in fact, no other than the home of Elder Brewster fan authentic characterj, where Mistress Brewster, Prudence Brewster, and various young friends were preparing the foods for our first Thanksgiving. Costumes were those of the period. Elder Brewster appeared in black coat and knee breeches with tall black Puritan hat. Mistress Brewster and the Puritan maidens wore long skirts, white aprons and kerchiefs, and Dutch white caps, such as the Pilgrim women had worn during their ten years' sojourn in Holland. A11 wore the low-heeled shoes with huge gold buckles popular at the time. The foods being prepared, including pumpkin pies, were only those which our New England ancestors did actually raise or receive at the hands of friendly Indians. The sets were picturesque, the groupings suggestive of tableaux. The final scene showed Elder Brewster with Mistress Brewster and Prudence, each carrying a large Bible, setting off for the meeting house. Those taking the role of Puritan characters were: Mistress Brewster, Gayle Goodnough, Prudence Brewster, Ann Carter, Elder Brewster, Sheila Kerlin, Remember, Lenora Morgan, Priscilla, Carolyn Holmes, Mary, Carolyn Cremin, Patience, Jacque Elaine Lair. The work was directed by Mrs. C. C. Pruitt, homeroom teacher. SECOND AND THIRD GRADES GIVE CHRISTMAS PLAY IN FRENCH At the Lower School Christmas exercises on Wednesday, December 18, at 2:15 p. m., in the auditorium, members of the second and third grades gave a Christmas play in French.

The entire Lower School sang Jingle Bells, Un Flambeau Jeanette- Isabella, and Silent Night. FIRST GRADE CELEBRATES BOOK WEEK As much as any group in school the first grade enjoyed the activities of Book Week, November 10 no 16. During those days we talked about how we had learned to read for fun and for improvement, how we had used our reading to learn about things. We have each read live or six library books. We dis- cussed our favorite books. Here are the favorites as nominated by class members: Betsy Adkinson ...... . Margaret Billingslea Malissa Billingslea ...,.... Kathy Triplett .........,..

Danny Hughes, senior kindergarten, had a birthday party at the Cottage on November 15. Kathryn Ann Triplett, of the first grade celebrated her sixth birthday in her home-room on November 25. The lirst grade enjoyed ice cream and cake with her. Mrs. Triplett was a guest at luncheon. Linda Schoenfeld, of the second grade, gave a luncheon party in her home on November 30, following which the girls went to Philbrook to see the movies. Holland Hall girls on the guest list included members of the second and third grades. Patricia Lawson, of the sixth grade, was honored by her mother, Mrs. Edward C. Lawson, with a Christmas luncheon, at the Junior League tearoom, on December 14. Guests included Holland Hall girls from the sixth and seventh grades. 23 BOOK WEEK IS OBSERVED By Vivia Van Dyne Book Week was celebrated by Holland Hall at the Novem- ber 6 student assembly, when the English classes of the Upper School took over. The program was designed to arouse a greater interest in books. Representatives from grades eight through twelve reviewed books that had proved popular with their classes. First on the program were Nancy Lackey and Judy Holleman, of the eighth grade class. Their reports dealt with I Married Adventure, by Osa Johnson. Evidently it is a tense and exciting book. Representatives for the freshmen were Cora Jean Mundy, who discussed James Barrie's Peter and Wendyi' and Charlotte Cotton and Vivia Van Dyne, who discussed different phases of Bunyan's Pilgrim's Pro- gress. The sophomores were represented by Martha McCabe and Julie Ann Park. Martha told the story of A Wac in Shangri-la by Margaret Hastingsg Julie discussed Dickens' David Copperfield. Speakers for the juniors were Ruby Webb and Frances McMillin, who discussed respectively Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre and Maureen Daly's Seven- teenth Summer. Both girls were well prepared, had excellent delivery, and were very interesting. The junior class had one representative, Joan Story. She discussed in an able way that rather difficult book, Of Human Bondage, by Somerset Maugham. Poster drawings to illustrate the talks were supplied by: Jean Ache, Sue Adams, Ann Arnold, Ann Bailliereg Leah Britton, Priscilla Carter, Pat Davis, Tam Dudley, Margaret Fosterg Ann Henryg Martha Hokeg Adelaide Lyon, Sue Mur- ray, Celia Nesbittg Sally Tealeg Jeannie Warren. Speakers were introduced by Jean Newton, of the senior class. The work was sponsored by Miss Margaret Walker, of the English Department. BILL McCLARINON EXPLAINS MYSTERIES OF STAGE MAKE-UP By Vivia Van Dyne At the student assembly on November 13, Bill McClarinon, dramatics student at Tulsa University, and famous as Falstaff in the recent production of Henry V, gave a demonstration in the applying of stage make-up. He was introduced by Laura Clarke, a member of the Assembly Program Committee. Mr. McClarinon, very youthful himself, applied make-up so as to appear both middle-aged and older. First he applied the base. It was a ruddy brown cream, which he said was Number 7, a special kind of make-up for older men. Next he took a Max Factor brush, with which he applied powder. All the spots which needed a brush were attended to by that gem, as he called it. Lines, he said, are especially important to the actor. Some he stated, use pencil lines, while others use a liquid. He then put more po-wder over the liquid lines which he had put on while he was telling us all of this. By this time he had become a great deal older than we had imagined he could ever look. To complete this, he put the same base on his eyebrows so that you could not tell that they were there. Moreover, he stuck on some false eyebrows, which made a complete change in his original features. He had just got on his beard fnot too easy a processj when the end of the period arrived. He bowed be- fore us as Falstaff. We enjoyed Mr. McClarinon's talk on actors and stage equipment extremely, and we sincerely hope that he will come to Holland Hall again. 24 - ,-..z A X! 1.5.-1-.-f ff! HISTORY DEPARTMENT HOLDS ASSEMBLY By Julie Ann Park On November Z0 the history classes of Miss Craig and Miss Thomas presented an assembly program, entitled Education for World Citizenship. The occasion was the convening of the General Assembly of United Nations in New York. Joan Story made the introductory and closing remarks and intro- duced the speakers. The first part of the program stressed the importance of mutual understanding between nations. Charlotte Cotton spoke of the need f-or tolerance. BeeBe Dunivan from her own experience told of the value of travel in giving one the viewpoint of other nationalities. The second part of the program stressed the desirability of know- ing the governmental set-up, local, national, and international. At this point the stage curtains were drawn back and we saw seated there Tulsa's six city commissioners: Mayor Lee Price fLeah Brittonjg Porter Smith fJan Mosesjg George Stoner fMarilyn Sextonjg John Hall fCora Jean Mundylg C. E. Braden iSue Adamsjg Maxwell Smith fVivia Van Dynej. It was very enlightening to hear from the mayor, from the commissioners in charge of fire and police, streets and public property, finance, water and sewers, and from the city auditor. A lively quiz about our United States government was directed by Margaret Ann Evans and Jean Newton. Next came dis- cussions of the various departments of the United Nations. Linda Wolferman gave us the set-up of the Security Council by having five teachers come to the stage to represent the five permanent members, and six juniors to represent the six elective non-permanent members. The various functions of the General Assembly, now meeting in New York, were dis- cussed by Jean Ache, Mary Louise Hall, Maurine Johnson, Marion McMillin, Jean Newton, and Marilyn Sexton. i Like the Book Review Program of the English Department, this was one of the very interesting and informative assembly programs. We hope there will be other assemblies by the various departments. SOPHOMORES PRESENT PROGRAM By Ann Henry On Wednesday morning, November 27, the sophomores gave a combined assembly-chapel program. The program, while not without humor, kept to- the Thanksgiving theme. Jan Moses presided. Adelaide Lyon told in a pleasing manner the story of the first Thanksgiving among the Pilgrims. Debby Page gave the story of Jericho Bob and Julius Caesar Fish, two little colored boys, and the turkey which the pair of them had raised by hand. Next Virginia Ruprecht appeared with a box of numbers-matches to numbers previously passed out to those in the audience. The lucky fnumber, drawn from the box by June Fletcher, matched with Maryanne Harwood's number. The prize, to come later, remained a secret. The chapel service, which immediately followed, was im- pressive. The opening hymn, For the Beauty of the Earth, the responsive reading, and the prayer, led by Mary Lee Mul- hall, were all in harmony with the Thanksgiving spirit. Two three-part voice numbers, Now Thank We All Our God and Thanksgiving Prayer, were given by Vivia Van Dyne lsopranol, Ann Arnold fsecond sopranol, and Cora Jean Mundy faltoj. Marilyn Hicks accompanied. Julie Ann Park concluded with a poem, Thanksgiving, 1946. After the services, the surprise appeared when Carol Bryan invited Maryanne to the front and presented her with a real live turkey. December, 1946 - MISS HOLLAND HALL PROFESSOR DENNIS MURPHY AND . MRS. MURPHY GIVE PROGRAM One of the very delightful assembly programs of the year came on December 5, when Professor Dennis Murphy, of the English department of Tulsa University, and Mrs. Murphy gave a recital of original poems and songs. Mr. Murphy is the author of a number of volumes of poetry with Ozark themes, including Ozark Song, Doomed Race, and Out of the Clay. Among the poems read, Ballad of an Ozark Boy was a prime favorite. Mrs. Murphy, an accomplished musician and composer, has set some twenty-five of the poems to music. She sang very beautifully to her own accompaniment Boy with the Silver Plow and Doomed Race. Several of the Holland Hall girls have the advantage of voice lessons with Mrs. Murphy. UPPER SCHOOL HONORS AND AWARDS Honors and awards for the first quarter are now posted. On the Academic Honor Roll, Jean Newton and Ann Henry top the list with high honors. Honors went to Charlotte Cotton, Josephine Davis, Tamara Dudley, Maryanne Harwood, Judy Holleman, Celia Nesbitt, Julia Park, and Jessie Westphal. Listed for honorable mention are: Jean Ache, Laura Clarke, Margaret Ann Evans, Martha Hoke, Nancy Lackey, Martha McCabe, Frances McMillin, Marion McMillin, Jan Moses, Debra Page, Ann Stewart, and Ruby Jean Webb. The Faculty Honor Roll, based on good citizenship, contains the following names: Ann Bailliere, Charlotte Cotton, Margaret Ann Evans, Ann Henry, Martha Hoke, Kitty Ledbetter, Marion McMillin, Jan Moses, Jean Newton, and Ruby Jean Webb. Citizen for the quarter, an award made by the student council, fell to Marion McMillin, of the senior class. FRESHMEN GIVE OPERETTA ' On December 11 at assembly, the freshmen appeared before a very appreciative audience in the operetta, Bluebeard.,' Meg Simpson carried the title role. Ann Arnold, as Fatima, and Vivia Van Dyne, as Sister Ann, delighted with their pleas- ing singing voices. Charlotte Cotton and Sally Teale, as Fatima's brothers, added to the fun by their sword play. Best of all, perhaps, were the three dead heads, hanging in the closet, Ann Henry, Barbara Fullerton, and Barbara McGill. Miss Davis accompanied, Miss Gustafson played on the violin. The play was directed by Miss Craig, class sponsor. FRENCH CLASSES SEND OVER-SEAS BOX An over-seas Chrismas box, filled with food and toys, and packed by members of Miss Gustafsonis and Miss Hadley's French classes, is waiting Uncle Sam's travel permit to start on its journey to Belgium. The name of the family was sup- plied by an army officer who served over-seas, father of one of our Holland Hall students. CAROL SERVICES BEGIN CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION First among our Christmas activities came the carol services of Thursday, December 19. Promptly at five o'clock students entered the auditorium by both double doorways and using the long processional made their way to the stage, where they took their places about the three Christmas trees. Carols in English, French, and Latin were sung. Jean Newton accompanied, Frances McMillin served as director. As always the services were deeply impressive. Music was under the general direction of Georgia Davis, music supervisor at Holland Hall. MISS HOLLAND HALL - December, 1946 RUBY WEBB IS CROWNED CHRISTMAS QUEEN Unusual interest centered in the choosing by secret ballot of the 1946 Christmas queen. So, too, unusual acclaim awaited the one on whom this coveted honor was bestowed-Ruby Webb, of Wichita, Kansas. Each year a queen is selected from the junior class to preside over the seasonis festivities, the honor being kept secret till the actual crowning. The ceremony took place immediately following the carol service of the Upper School, at five o'clock, on Thursday, December 19. Little Ruth Broach, of the first grade, followed the new queen, bear- ing on a lace covered cushion the crown of Howers. Jean Ache, retiring queen, placed the crown. The queen's arm bouquet was brought in by Walter. Immediately after the crowning, the money given by students for the maintenance of the Holland Hall hospital bed at St. John's was handed to the queen by Marion McMillin and Martha Canterbury represent- ing Upper and Lower School respectively. Later the queen, accompanied by these representatives, will take the donation in person to the hospital. All felt that they had selected a beautiful queen and one who well represented the ideals of Holland Hall.

THE H-H HOSPITAL BED Since 1940 Holland Hall has financed by student donation at Christmas time a bed in St. John's Hospital for children unable to pay for hospitalization. The room is Number 233, in the' Pediatrics Department, with Sister Cleopha in charge. Since 1940 this bed has been occupied by fourteen children of all ages and for various lengths of time. One girl occupied the bed for four consecutive months. This used up three times the amount of the donation that year as the daily rates are four dollars. Last Christmas a total of S478 was given. This was the largest -amount ever donated. 25 '-:kf:f:Q:f:f:Q:f:f:f:Q:Zg:7: 2:j:f:f:2:f:f ' '3:f::::::g:5:g:Q:3:::5:, , :3:32:f:5:5: -:fl5:215:5:1:Igq:-zfzffzfifu. . . :gg:::f:f:1 -V:-:ir-:-:1:::g:g.. . . rf.-r.-.:.g i2l ' f ifif if Qiif X i5 i eii 22 Q! 1 By BeeBe Dunivan W? The long week-end, beginning November 8, turned out to be a distinct success. And why shio+uldn't it with three wonder- ful days away from the wear and tear of school. Marilyn Sexton entertained with a delicious luncheon on Saturday, November 9, at the Kansas City Club, in Kansas City. The luncheon was in honor of Mary Louise Hall and Joan Story from Holland Hall and Susie Mueller, who recently moved to Independence, Missouri, from Tulsa. When Cascia Hall boys have a dance, there are not many who beat them. On November 9 they had a big dance with the title of Halloween still attached. Carol Bryan led Jack Smith around the floor all evening, as June Fletcher tried all her charm on her first date with Joe Larcher. Margaret Foster danced with all of Cascia's cute boys, while her date, David Galey, devoted his attention to the saxophone player. They had a peppy Negro band to furnish the music, and everyone left with a smile. Tex Beneke made a big hit with Holland Hall girls on November 15, when he gave a dance at the Pavillion. Steve Gilpin was seen twirling Jean Ache around the room, as Sally White and her new Cascia beau, J im McCann, gazed dreamily into each other's eyes. As it was told to me, everyone had a good time. The senior class gave fourteen girls, chosen from the eighth and ninth grades, happy faces when on November 12 they chose them to be their special Bubbles in the Senior Champagne. Susie Adams, Polly Ambrister, Barbara Brander, Barbara Bulkley, Charlotte Cotton, Pat Davis, Tam Dudley, Barbara Fullerton, Ann Henry, Nancy Lackey, Cora Jean Mundy, Ronda Russell, Meg Simpson,'and Vivia Van Dyne now have the honor of being Senior Bubbles. In the week since Jean Newton's return from Dallas fNovember 92 one question has been Hying around the school. Anyone wishing to know the answer to this bit of rumor can be obliged by Celia Nesbitt. At least one of the Daisy Maes at Holland Hall has cap- tured her man and that lucky man is Mr. James W. Ham- mett, Jr., from Tulsa, who presented Miss Thomas with a shiny new diamond ring. The happy event will take place around Christmas. The whole school gives congratulations and hiopes that she may find much happiness in her new occupation. The Tulsa wolves had better tune up their howl as the Oklahoma City beavers are boring their way into the heart! of two of our fair lassies. Lou Ward and James Mobily came trucking fbelieve me, it was a truck, down from O. C. to date their new found heart-beats, Katty White and Virginia Ruprecht, on Sunday, November 24. Julie Flint really knows how to entertain her house-guests. Mary Moore, from Kansas City, visited her over the Thanks- 26 giving holiday and was honor guest Friday evening at a dinner given by Julie. She was given a luncheon Friday noon at the Tulsa Club by Sally White. Also, Tish Moran honored her with a luncheon Saturday in her home. The girls all went to the Tulsa vs. Arkansas football game after the luncheon. In the party were Moe Evans, Marilyn Lindsay, and Frances McMillin. Marilyn Sexon has a new heart throb, and so she honored him with a date to the Cascia dance on November 23. His name is Fred von Beibirstein. Of course, he's just a junior, but it's not because he's only seventeen that she went. Linda Wolferman wasn't left out. She went right along with her blind date, Harold Morgan. Now she can't decide between H. M. or J. His name is George. That is all that Maurine johnson breathes about the boy she travels fourteen miles every week- end to see. But give Joan Story another week and she will know all about the situation. Oklahoma Military Cadets are still beating a path to Holland Hall. Margaret Foster was seen at the Tulsa vs. Arkansas football game on Thanksgiving with Cadet Jack Mills. Tam Dudley spent Thanksgiving day with Ann Theis of Pawhuska, and Gene Jones helped her to enjoy the day more. Cheering for old T. U. against Arka.nsas at the Thanks- giving game were Ann Stewart, Joey Canterbury, and Ronda Russell. Meg Simpson had a proud smile on her face Wednesday night, November 24, as she watched her cousin, Pat Hart, and wife, Leonore, perform in Laura at the Little Theatre. Mr. Hart carried the role of Laurie in Little Women, given sev- eral years ago by Holland Hall and Cascia students. With Thanksgiving in the background, everyone is looking forward to Christmas-plum pudding, tree, presents, and all. And I doubt if anyone will forget the mistletoe. So here's wishing everyone a Merry, Merry Christmas and happiness the year through from your worn out society reporter. MARIELLE THOMAS TO MARRY MISS HOLLAND HALL announces the engagement and approaching marriage of Miss Marielle Thomas, of the Holland Hall staff, to James W. Hammett, jr., of Tulsa. Miss Thomas is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Thomas, of the Hill School, Pottstown, Pennsylvania. The wedding has been set for Saturday, December 28, in the chapel of the Hill School. Maid-of-honor will be Miss Josephine Thomas, sister of the bride. Bridesmaids will be Miss Helen Thomas, a cousin, and Miss Elizabeth Bushnell.

MISS HOLLAND HALL - December, 1946 By Emily M. Cordell, '41 ...uu- un... .pn--. 1... Another part of any what is weddings. The last two months weren't as popular as October.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OF YOU! 27 HOLLAND HALL CELEBRATES BULB WEEK The establishing of Bulb Week at Holland Hall was de- signed primarily ro beautify the grounds, incidentally to pro- mote school pride. Originally planned for the last week in October, the actual planting took place late in November because of weather conditions. The committee in charge in- cludes H. G. Jensen, landscape architect, whose daughter, Elaine, is a member of Holland Hall's Hrst gradeg Mrs. H. B. Stewartg Mrs. E. J. Kikerg Mrs. L. E. Rinkerg Mrs. Clyde Blocker. The bulbs were planted by the students in beds suggested by the Biol-orgy Class, who previously surveyed the grounds, studied the landscape problems of Holland Hall, presented their plans to Mr. Jensen for suggestions. The in- formal theme of landscaping has been kept. The seniors planted dwarf iris to form a background for the Holland Hall sign. All grades from one to twelve participated. Bulbs in- cluded hyacinth, daffodils, jonquils, crocus, and dwarf iris. GUESS WHO! By Cadijah Helmerich fGrade 71 His nose is red, his hair is grey, With eight reindeer he drives a sleigh.

By Maryanne Harwood, Editor In this month of holidays our minds are naturally filled on the one hand with visions of lacy hearts forming a background for sentimental phrases, and on the other with memories of two of our greatest presidents. just mention February birthdays, and immediately two pictures are brought to mind. The one picture is that of a stalwart, courageous person, leading his armies to victory, and holding his beacon a little higher so that the light of his democratic ideals may shine on all. The other man appears to us- as serious and clauntless. I-Ie seems to be ab- sorbing the light of the first man's beacon. Adding a ray of his own, he passes it on, a torch much brighter now because of its growing intensity. Yes, almost as early as we can remember, we have been taught about these two fine leaders, George Washingtoii and Abraham Lincoln. George Wfashington is naturally the hrst we recall, for who hasnit heard the story of how he chopped down his mother's cherry tree, and of how, when con- fronted by his misdeed, he courageously confessed his guilt? But have you ever stopped to wonder why this story is repeated over and over? It certainly is not a stlaid historic fact that you should store away in that niche in your mind that con- tains the names of Lexington, Concord, and Valley Forge. Nobody can actually prove whether the legend of the cherry tree is true, so why should the story be handed down from generation to generation and repeated to the younger children when they are first old enough to begin to appreciate George Washington? The answer is rather obvious. The story contains a moral by which we could all readily profit: it's better to confess one's misdeeds than to cover them up with falsiiications or even evasions. Have you chopped down a cherry tree lately? What was your reaction when accused? If you immediately saw what was wrong and did not try to evade the issue with false pre-tenses, you don't need to bother to read to the end of this article.

Holland Hall trusts its students. Thatis why we don't have a check or demerit system. However, it's up to each individual student to maintain the high standard of character and citizenship which the founders of the school set as a goal and which our alumnae have in large measure achieved. Our student body has the capacity for fine things. So, to celebrate George's birthday this month, let's think about the little story of the cherry tree and in straight dealing as in all other qualities try to emulate the Father of Our Country.

The author, John Hersey, was born in Tientsin, China. He was private secretary to Sinclair Lewis in 1957. Hersey was so familiar with life in the Far East that he was sent on a three-year as- signment to China and nearby countries. When he returned, he wrote Men on Bataanf' Later books were Into the Valleyu and A Bell for Adanof' This story was cbtained by interviews with survivors. The public has been waiting for just such an authentic ac- count of the atomic bomb as John Hersey gives you in Hiro- shima His main information came from six who survived the bombing, On August 6. 1945, at 8:15 in the morning Miss Toshiko Sasaki. a secretary. had just sat down in her place at the plant office. Mrs. Hatsuyo Nakamura, a widow with three children, was standing by her kitchen window. Dr. Terufumi Sasaki, a doctor in the Red Cross hospital, was carry- ing a blood sample for tl Wasserman test. Dr. Nlasakazu Fujii was about to read the Osaka 'lAsahi. Father Wilhelm Klein- sorge was reading a -lesuit magazine, The Reverend Mr. Kiyoshi Tanimoto was about to unload a cart, When the bomb fell, each said that he had seen everything flash whiter than any white he had ever before seen, but none had heard any noise, Curiously a man twenty miles away said it was the loudest noise he ever heard. Since this is the most accurate account and detailed account of the destruction of Hiroshima, perhaps you would be inter- ested in hearing the experiences of several of these victims. The Reverend Mr. Tanimoto got up at five o'clock the morning of the bombing. He was alone in the parsonage because his wife and his baby were staying with a friend in Ushida. Tani- moto had heard detailed accounts of the mass raids of the B-29's on Kure, Iwakuni. Takuyama, and other nearby towns. He was nearly sick with anxiety because he knew Hiroshima's turn would soon come. The day of the bombing, Tanimoto was helping a friend take some of his belongings to a house two miles from what was to be the center of the explosion. They were starting to unload the cart when a tremendous flash of light cut across the sky. Tanimoto threw himself between two rocks in the garden. Tanimoto felt a sudden pressure, and then splinters and pieces of board and fragments of tile fell on him. When he thought it was safe, he got up and in panic he dashed out into the street. There he saw Jap soldiers coming out of dugouts where they should have been safe. Blood was running from their heads, chests, and backs. They were dazed and quiet. The day grew darker and darker. All that day Tanimoto ran through the wreckage of the 6 town trying to help people. He helped dig screaming people out from under their wrecked houses. Securing a row-boat he brought load after load of wounded across the river from the city side, where they were endangered by fiames. Of necessity he brought them only to the river bank. During the night the tide rose and the wounded people on the bank, unable to help themselves, in many cases drowned. Tanimoto proceeded to lift the slimy living bodies out and carried them up to a higher level. He had to keep saying to himself, These are human beings. A few months after the disaster, Mr. Tanimoto, suffering from a mild radiation disease. went to his father's home in Shikoku for a month's rest. Upon his return he draped a tent over the roof of the badly damaged house he had rented. The roof still leaked, but he conducted services in the damp living-room. He had no money with which to rebuild his church, Miss Sasaki, an East Asia Tin Works' clerk, had just ar- rived at her office and sat down at her desk. Her desk was quite far from the windows, but behind her were tall book-cases containing all the books of the factory library. She thought that before she started her day's work, she would chat with the girl sitting to her right, Just as she turned her head from the window, the room was filled with a blinding light. Suddenly everything Fell. The book-case immediately behind Miss Sasaki's desk, Fell on the girl and buried her beneath. The ceiling collapsed and people on the floor above fell through to the floor beneath. There in the Tin Factory, in the first moment of the atomic age, a human being was crushed by books. Some time later Miss Sasaki heard someone above digging people out of the debris. She called, A man pulled away a great number of books till he made a tunnel to her. But she couldn't move because her left leg was crushed and twisted and no one could get her out. Much later she was removed. A11 the wounded people were directed to the factory's air raid shelters. She was put in a shed with two other people. Before nightfall the shed was filled with the stench of gangrene. She was left with her two battered companions in this shed for two days without food or water. Her leg became swollen and dis- colored. On the third day friends found her and told her that her parents were dead. Shortly after she was carried to a truck, on which she rode for about an hour in sheer pain. When the doctor at the relief station touched her leg she fainted. XVhen she came to, the doctors were deciding whether to am- putate her leg. One doctor said it was too bad they didn't have the equipment. She again fainted, She was moved from one hospital to another. The leg was not amputated, but neither could the broken bones be set because of an infection. The infection in the leg continued. Incision after incision was made. The girl grew weaker and weaker and her spirits fell very low. An X-ray showed that her bones were mending. but under the sheet she could see that her left leg was nearly three inches shcrter than her right, and that her left foot was turning inward. In February, 1946. a friend asked Father Kleinsorge to visit her. Miss Sasaki gained strength and the courage to live from his visits. By April her temperature was normal, the infection was healing, Shortly she was on crutches, and not long after discharged. She knew she would always be a cripple. It would be impossible to say what horrors were embedded in the minds of the children who lived through the day of bombing in Hiroshima. Many citizens feel a hatred for Ameri- cans, which nothing can possibly erase. February, 1947 - MISS HOLLAND HALL Osnxmmxxmm iililiili ffiifiiii Kkkkkkkkkcb Feature Story W BUPIIVS 'IBIUIIIPH Sue sat looking out the window of the speeding passenger train. Her face was bright and her sweet smile made it glow. She could hardly believe that in another hour she would be with Bob and in another week she would be-Mrs. Robert E. Baker. The latter was the harder to believe because it seemed so long ago since Bob had asked her to marry him. Of course this was the most important thing in her life. She tried to sit still, as with each passing second the train drew nearer and nearer to its destination. She was excited, but still this did not keep her from day-dreaming. As she looked back on her childhood romance and the many typically childish things they did, she remembered the first valentine he ever gave her. It was a beautiful little thing, all made of lace and red hearts, and in the center was a verse: One, two, three! Can't you see That: I love YOU? So please love ME! It was a child's love then and in the childish way of a tiny first grade girl she loved him too. Though she had re- ceived many similar cards on that same day, HIS was the only one that she had really cared enough about to save. As she opened her purse to take it out and look at it for probably the hundredth time just since she had boarded the train, she thought how glad she was that she had kept it. Even while away at college, she had kept it securely along with some snapshots which she had of Bob when he was quite young. Though some of the girls teased her about it, still she kept them in the double picture frame, on one side Bob in his navy uniform, and on the other the beautiful little valentine and a small picture of Bob at the age of seven. Of course there were snaps of Bob in uniform too and some from high school days, but she still cherished the valentine and picture at seven a little more than the others. Bob would probably be embarrassed when she showed it to him, because at the bottom of the page, written in a very young boy's scrawl, was: To Sue from Bobbie. She wondered if he would remember giving it to her-probably not, because men seldom remember such things. Anyway, he might not want to remember, since something like that is often disconcerting to a young man. She crossed the years of their childhood once again and recalled a party celebrating her eighth birth- day, at which Bob had given her a most wonderful and excit- ing diary. Years flashed by to her first formal with Bob and on to the junior-senior prom and Iinally Bob's graduation from high school. At the time Sue could hardly see how she was going to bear Bob's leaving for college, how she could bear MISS HOLLAND HALL - February, 1947 spending her senior year at Central without him. It seemed so impossible that he would not be there, but then, that's the way it was going to be and she had to face it. Bob went away to college and Sue got along fairly well without him, even though she didn't think so at the time. She knew he would be home for Christmas and Easter and then finally -for the summer vacation in the late spring. He would be home in time to go to the graduation formal with her too. She remembered her surprise when on the night of the formal and after a wonderful evening he had told her that he had joined the Navy and was supposed to leave in less than a week. All her plans for the summer were shattered, but there was nothing she could do about it. On the day he left, he had taken her in his arms and whispered to her: You'll wait for me, darling, won't you? He was gone then and everything seemed bleak and so futile. When he wrote that he was going on board ship, she thought she could bear it no longer, but she realized that he would not be proud if he knew those feelings and she def termined to make the best of it. Finally when the long-awaited letter came saying he was coming back to the States-though not really home-she was greatly relieved. She hadnit known then that he had returned because he had had his left leg splintered in battle and he had to be treated. She prayed and thanked God that he had returned and would soon be home for good. He recovered quickly, but the Navy kept him except for a short leave when he was released from the hospital. The leave seemed so short to her and all too soon came the time for his return to the base. Wfhen Bob was finally discharged from the Navy, she was still away at college. Though he spent a week in the small college town on his return, it was seldom that they had much time together, as most all of Sue's spare time out of classes was filled with school activities in which it was necessary for her to participate. It actually seemed as if they would never have enough time together, as if they would never be able even to talk seriously about their future. Then the Christmas vacation came and Sue and Bob had two weeks together when they began to plan their future. These two weeks turned out to be even more fun and more exciting than either had dreamed and the time passed all too quickly. They had planned their wedding and set the date for February the fourteenth, St. Valentine's Day. Since Sue was to graduate at mid-term, she would be home in time for last minute preparations. Now the time had come and it was merely a matter of minutes until her train would arrive at the station which was her destination, where Bob was waiting to meet her. They would be together at last. 7 Oxxxmnxxmw 111111111 ififfi 111 kkmkmxxmmo snow imifiia cm THE TULSA BOYS' HOME Staff Member Gains Interview By julia Ann Park iGrade IO! Last fall I attended the Tulsa Horse Show. Discovering that the proceeds of the several performances would go large- ly to the Tulsa Boys' Home, I decided to satisfy my journalistic curiosity and learn more accurately what the Tulsa Boys' Home is. So it was that several days later I put in an appearance at 715 South Quincy Avenue for an interview previously granted by the able superintendent, Mr. Milton J. Singleton. Let me share with you the answers to my inquiries. There are fifty-seven boys in the home, ranging in age from ten to sixteen, living in the three residence buildings. Y.ounger boys are sometimes accepted if otherwise it would be a case of separating brothers. The boys attend the public schools, for the most part Longfellow fgrammar schooll, Horace Mann fjunior highl, and Central fsenior liighl. Some of the boys try for scholarships. Some go later to the Oklahoma Military Academy and the University of Oklahoma. The budget allowance per boy is around a dollar a day. A sum of eighteen cents is allowed for school lunch. Younger boys mow lawns for extra money. Part of the money earned is for the actual support of the boys themselves. When they are sixteen or so, the boys take part time jobs. Older boys have occasional dates. The recreational and educational program includes a scout troop iTroop 611 and a Junior Optimist Club, spon- sored by the Senior Optimist Club of Tulsa. The boys at- tend regular scheduled swim classes at the Y.M.C.A. each week. The home is non-sectarian and the boys may attend the church of their choice, although for the most part the boys attend the First Presbyterian Church. The Home maintains a large vegetable garden and a newly built chicken house for about one hundred chicks. A base- ball field, a tennis court, and an outdoor basketball court complete the recreation picture. There is a workshop in which the boys may develop their mechanical abilities while doing odd jobs about the grounds and buildings. The history of the Home dates back to World War I, when a young boy, destitute, who was sleeping in a waste paper box in the alley back of a Tulsa drug store, was brought to the attention of C. E. Buckner. Mr. Buckner with other pioneer leaders organized the Home at its first location at Cincinnati and Seventh. In the twenty-Seven years since some two thousand boys, orphans, members of disintegrated fam- ilies, sons of widowed mothers, have been housed and cared for. The parents, if there are any, are encouraged to do all .they can and to feel responsible for their boy's welfare. Tulsa should be proud of this fine institution. At present the Home is pushing its plans for a new building. The boys .are now housed in old, remodeled frame buildings, costly to maintain and constituting a fire-hazard. This is the project to which the Tulsa Horse Show contributed eighty percent of its gate receipts. 8 THE EVANGELINE CLUB Martha Hoke and jan Moses, of the staff, pay personal visit By Martha Hoke !Grade 103 If you would like to spend a pleasant and instructive after- noon sometime, I suggest that you pay a visit to the Tulsa Evangeline Club. What and where is the Evangeline Club? It,s like this: In 1922 the Salvation Army first sponsored the Evange- line Club at 536 North Cheyenne. For a few years the place was used as a rest home for elderly women, but a little later, it was changed into what it is now, a home for employed girls and women between the ages of seventeen and thirty-live. About the only thing a girl needs to gain admission is a good recommendation. Business girls of all types, generally of modest salaries, are benefited by the low cost of a room with two meals each day included. The good reputation of the Club has spread far and wide and not only local girls, but many from other states also are housed under its sheltering roof. The Club is equipped to accommodate thirty-three, but at this time there are thirty residents. The present director of the Evangeline Club is Major Esther Wilks, who has been a member of the Salvation Army for thirty-two years, and who is doing a fine job being a second mother to the girls. She very kindly showed us through the large building which houses the girls, and afterwards treated us to some delicious cookies of her own making. It's little things like that which make the Club so home-like. The attractive parlor is furnished comfortably and pro- vides also a piano, radio, and many magazines for the girls' pleasure. Needless to say, the letter holder on the piano is the most popular bit of furnishing in the whole house. Next we visitcd the dining room in the north wing. Here eight small tables, each capable of seating four, were attrac- tively placed. On week days breakfast is served from six to eight, while dinner is served in the evening at six., On Sun- days, however, breakfast comes at eight and dinner at one. Each Hoot is provided with a small kitchenette, where an ice- box and a small gas stove provide the means with which the girls can prepare snacks. Also, the large basement with its laundry facilities may be freely used. Our next tour was to the second Hoor, where we saw one or two of the dormitory rooms. Some are single, others, double or triple. In the latter types, however, each girl has her own bed, dressing table, and clothes closet. As to restrictions, there aren't many. No smoking is al- lowed except in the girls' own rooms, but very few of the girls smoke. An unwritten rule is that girls should check in, preferably by one and at the latest by one-thirty. Except under very unusual circumstances this rule is kept. I was surprised at the home-like atmosphere about the big white house, and if I were an employed girl away from home, Ilm sure I should be grateful for all the privileges of the Evangeline Club.

At present my choice is Canada. A year ago I had just such a trip. It was in the month of June that we were in Canada and shrubberies and fiowers were in full bloom. All the farmers were plowing their fields and harvesting their wheat. As we drove along, we could see much of the Canadian countryside. This was my first trip to Canada, and I was interested in finding out as much as I could about this country, which was as yet new to me. Our trip took us only through southern Canada, which looks very much like the United States. ' The greatest difference is in the people. We spent about four days in the province of Quebec, which is all French, even though it is under British rule. Everywhere we would go, the people spoke French, even over the radio. We spent a few days in a small French village called Trois Riviex-s,', that is Three Rivers. Trois Riviers was built along the bank of the St. Lawrence River, and all the main business of the village was derived from the river trade. Miost of the people of this village are very high Catholics, and all the little girls go to private Catholic schools. Each girl wears a black silk dress, black stockings, black shoes, a white collar, and no make-up. She wears this uniform until she graduates from high school. Each morning I would watch the little girls march by twos from church to classes. Everyone in Canada either rides a bicycle or drives a horse carriage. The little boys would ride their bikes to school with their books in knapsacks over their shoulders. It gave one a very strange feeling to be driving the only car on a road crowded with bicycles. We continued our journey through Canada by way of Montreal, Toronto, and then home. It was a very interesting trip, and I should really like to return to Canada this sum- mer, to go farther north into the more scenic mountains, and to meet still other types of the Canadian people. MISS HOLLAND HALL - February, 1947 MICHIGAN WOODS By Martha Hoke lGrade 101 Since I have spent seven summers in northem Michigan, I consider it a second home. It is an artist's paradise and a nature-lover's dream. Anyone, be he artist or layman, would appreciate its beauty. May I describe for you one of the many perfect days of last summer spent in the Michigan woods? wk ek :lf if I yawned sleepily and climbed out of bed. I was surprised to find that it was almost ten o'clock. The sun was shining brightly and from my window I could see that the deep blue of the bay was broken by frothy white-caps. A windy day, I knew. I wondered what was in store. Later, we drove to Cross Village, an Indian hamlet far above Lake Michigan. We took our time, enjoying the unbroken shade of the tall Norway pines, which lined the road. We climbed steadily. On our left was a precipice, tree-covered clear down to the beach, hundreds of feet below. Ever so often we came to a clearing and could look far out over the lake. Often we saw in the distance huge freighters and ore boats on their way to Sault Sainte Marie or cement boats headed for Petoskey. One could hear the breakers rolling heavily on the sands below, one could smell the fresh lake breeze. There is ndt much habitation in this part of Michigan except for an occasional Indian shack or now and then a small village hidden away among giant trees. There is a laziness and peacefulness in the whole scene. When we arrived at Cross Village, we drove as close as possible to the edge of the cliff. Here we ate our lunch. In the distance we could see the Beaver Islands and Skillygallee Lighthouse. Now and then we heard the blasts of passing ore ships as they saluted one another far out in the lake. When we had finished our lunch, we decided to travel up to Mackinaw City, the uppermost tip of the lower peninsula of Michigan. Here we watched the ferry-boats and ore boats passing through the deep, green waters of the Straits of Mack- inac. Overhead, big white seagulls wheeled and dipped, watch- ing for fish. Across the straits we could see Mackinac Island with the famous Grand Hotel, and its horse-drawn carriages. Farther away lay Lake Superior. At five o'clock we began our long drive home to peaceful Petoskey. What would happen tomorrow? Who could know? Tomorrow would be another day. 9 1 1 I CRIMINAL FOR A -DAY By Ann Henry fGrade 93 Several years ago Grandmother Insull made a trip to Pawnee to visit my aunt and uncle, Rosemary and Bob. It was in the midst of the quail season and Bob, who was a good hunter, had just brought in a large number of quail the day before. In a gesture of friendliness he offered to give Grand- mother some quail to take home with her. Grandmother was very fond of quail, so she accepted with thanks. At dinner that night Bob and his brother, Everett, began to discuss the quail hunt of the previous day. Everett was teasing Bob because he had shot the quail on a day closed to hunting. I heard that the constable is looking for you, he de- clared. He hasn't caught up with you yet, but that doesn't mean that he won't. Sometimes it takes them several days to track a poacher down. It would be hard to realize Grandmotheris shock at this unless you had known her. She was a very law-abiding, con- servative person, and was rather timid. The idea of taking home illegal game appalled her. She decided to say no more about it and maybe Bob would forget to give her the quail. When her visit ended, Bob drove her to the station. She was relieved that he had not mentioned the quail. However, just as the train was pulling out, Bob handed the conductor a package and gave instructions. All the way back, Grandmother felt like a fugitive. Des- perately she wondered whether the authorities would open the package. After a while.she saw the conductor walking toward her. They've found out, she thought in panic. Shall I be arrested? Does that package of quail belong to you? the con- ductor demanded. Oh, no! Grandmother said in a shaking voice. Trem- bling she remembered the county jail in Pawnee. The conductor asked everyone else in the car whether the package was his. Finally he returned to Grandmother and said, Are you sure that isn't your package?'i Grandmother decided it was better to tell the truth even if she was arrested. Yes, it's mine, she admitted. Well, I just wanted to tell you that I put the quail on ice, he replied amiably. QUAINT CUSTOMS CONNECTED WITH ST. VALENTINE'S DAY By Ann Wyly iGrade 71 Like many other things that have originated far back in folk and village customs, it is impossible to date or explain accurately this festival on February 14. In the Middle Ages the young folks of the hamlets of England, Scotland, and parts of France met and drew names from an urn on St. Valentine's Eve. The person whose name was on the slip was the holder's valentine or sweetheart for a year, This is one of the many ways in which our custom of sending valentines came about. In these days, however, we don't draw names from an urng we exchange cards, which we call valentines. They are usually frills and in the shape of hearts or have hearts upon them. But many are comic and bring gales of laughter to the recipient. 10 44 I RUN AWAY - OR DO I? A .Page from an Old Diary By Frances McMillin lGrade Ill Believe me, the world is unkind. It's full of people who don't love you. And honestly it's really not WORTH living. Take me for instance. My own mother and daddy don't love me. Of course they love my big sister and my twin, but not me. My sisters get everything they want, but do I? Oh no! Do you think I'd get a new dress? If you do, you're quite wrong. I get hand-me-downs. It's true that my twin canit wear my older sister's clothes as I can, but I mean really, do you think it's fair? So tha.t's why I'm up here packing. Where I'l1 go d.oesn't really matter. After all, nobody cares. I have a dollar I saved up to buy some candy, but I guess I'll have to use it. Do you think a dollar will pay for an airplane trip? I hope so. Just to prove my point about my family's not loving me, I'll tell you about what happened. A few minutes ago, when I told my mother and daddy I was leaving, my daddy just said nonchalantly, Goodbye He said it as if I were going next door or something. Now, really, do you blame me? But running away is such trouble. I can't back out now, though. I just couldn't go down there without killing my- self or something. If I kill myself, they'll be really sorry. Then they'll realize how cruel they've been to me. But I don't have anything to do it with and it's so much trouble anyway. You know, maybe by now they realize that they've been mean. Maybe there isn't any sense in my running away -there really isn't, is there? There goes the dinner bell. I'll have to go down and face them-how, I'll never know. Well --wish me luck! ANCESTRY HAVOC By Ann Arnold lGrade 9? Dear Grandmother! Seldom does she reminisce, but when she does, you hear about Indians and bears, covered wagons and roaring rivers! Now when Granny was young, her sister, Pocahontas, got hitched with a city feller. Granny, naturally, went to her weddin.' They picked a nice, rainy day with plenty of clouds and no sunshine. Granny rode side-saddle, as did all the women of her day and unless you were plum loco, you never dreamed of riding astride the poor animal. Well, when Granny finally reached the great Kentucky River, she just iiipped her crop, bounded over the poor old bridge, and cantered on her way . . . Amen, the people shouted, and the new wife and hus- band slipped out the side vestry door. Granny raced to the front entrance, was on her horse, and away. And simul- taneously the rain came down-literally by the bucketsful. She reached the river just as the bridge went out of sight. VVell, it's now or never, she prayed and over the head of the horse went the reins and over the saddle went Granny's leg. When she reached home, the rain had subsided, but Granny was watering the lawn with her own supply of rain water to say nothing of river water, which was pouring from every pocket, ruffle, and pleat. Anyway, she exclaimed, we finally married off Pokyl February, 1947 - MISS HOLLAND HALL I --HCA? ' OUR WATCHDOG By Ann Henry fGrade 91 It was on a sunny June morning that we arrived at the railway station to pick up the crate that had been shipped to us from Missouri. The crate was carefully set on the back seat of the car and we started home again. As we excitedly peeped inside the crate, a hesitant little nose was thrust out from between the slats and two big brown eyes stared at us in bewilderment. This was our first look at our new air- dale puppy. In the puppy's first few days in her new home, the question arose as to what we should name her. Her coat was' a mixture of black, grey, and brownish yellow, so Mother suggested that we call her Ginger, Although Ginger was intended to be a watchdog, her personality definitely did not fit the role. She was always friendly to everyone and immediately made pals of all the dogs and children in the neighborhood. At night, however, she had a very ferocious bark, which should scare away the most daring robber, although we were of the opinion that if the robber once got inside, Ginger would dash up and lick his face. Although Ginger delighted in showing het' authority by chasing all the inquisitive cockers from the yard, she was really timid. One day a collie sauntered peace- ably into the front yard. Ginger gave one alarmed glance and tucking her tail between her legs, hastily retreated to the back porch. I remember one occasion when Ginger was very much embarrassed. I had walked over to a neighbor's to get my bicycle, which I had left there, and Ginger followed me. As we walked down the drive, Ginger spied a white duck stand- ing in the grass. With a low growl she approched her game stealthily. Then she circled the duck, barking furiously. The duck did not move. Finally Ginger lashed out a paw and with a plop the wooden duck toppled over! Ginger gave her victim a confused look, and glancing at me, slunk around the side of the house. Although Ginger has not turned out to be such a good watchdog, we love her just the same and I wouldn't trade her for a hundred good watchdogs. ORIGIN OF ST. VALENTINE'S DAY By Joey Canterbury fGrade 93 How did St. Valentine's Day originate? Have you ever wondered about this? Most people think of St. Valentine's Day only as the day on which to send sweet or sentimental cards saying I love you, or, Will you be my Valentine? The origin has generally been forgotten. Now I shall tell you something about Valentine's Day and how it came to be. Valentine's Day always falls on the fourteenth of February. It is the name-day or feast-day of eight different martyrs named Valentine. In medieval times church services were held on that day in memory of their martyrdom. The custom of send- ing valentines has nothing to do with the saints, however. On thisvsame day, centuries ago, the'springtime festival of the Romans was also held. The making and sending of gifts on that day has come down to us from this old festival. In time the gifts were called valentines because the celebration hap- pened to coincide with St. Valentine's Day. Valentine's Day is an excellent example of the way customs survive, sometimes for centuries among people who do not know the origin. MISS HOLLAND HALL - February, 1947 I THE MULE DIED By Barbara McGill fGrade 95 The sun beat down relentlessly. It was an unusually warm summer for Kentucky. The meadows were green, the sky was blue, the air fresh, but the sun was hot to young Clay McGill ithat's my revered grandfatherl, the lone mule rider. At the time of this story, Clay was perhaps seventeen years old. It was a fifteen-mile journey each way from the village where my great-grandparents lived to X, the nearest town that boasted a bank. For some reason which I don't know, young Clay was riding to the bank with a check for three thousand dollars and was to return with the money. When he arrived at the bank, the teller had just paid out the bank's last paper money and all that remained was silver dollars, which were plentiful in those days. There was noth- ing to do but load up Grandfather and the mule from hat to saddle bags with the heavy coin and start them back on the tiresome fifteen miles' journey. It was a lonely road. With the silver jingling and rattling, anyone seeing this sight would think that Grandfather had robbed the bank and was calmly plodding away like an old horse that had only taken a drink of water. Bouncing round and trying to hold on to the money, Grandfather reached home at last. Not quite all the money was accounted for, but it was accepted. The patient went to bed, and the mule died. We still wonder whether the rest of the silver was lost on the way or whether it was kept by Grandfather as a reward for his services. MY FAVORITE VALENTINE By Martha McCabe fGrade 101 I'm a big girl now, yet my favorite valentine came only last year. My family is made up of my mother, my father, my brother, and me.' My brother is three years older than I and is just like any other brother. He has always been very much ashamed of me because I was a girl. In fact, he wouldn't walk on the same side of the street with me. He has been something of a woman-hater up until the last few years. Then he was interested in other girls, not me, his little sister. Last year he was away at school and so was I, but still we had very little communication. Then came Valentine's Day and with it the sweetest card I've ever received. It was a Valentine for My Sister, and it carried the following verses: You never were an angel child, In fact to be quite frank, Sometimes I would have swapped you For an empty piggy bank, A second-handed lolly-pop, Or a broken shinny-stick, For ONE lick of an ice cream cone, A clock that wouldn't tick. But we've grown up and times have changed And I've learned something, too: The luckiest break I ever got Was a sister nice as you! That valentine is in my scrapbook and I'll keep it there forever. I 1 ! f I LOVE IN A SCHOOLROOM By Martha McCabe fGrade 10i Many, many years ago, when I was still a child, I had a mad love affair. It was a tragic affair, however, as it was very one-sided. The boy I liked was in the second grade, as was I. He was class doctor, a boy chosen by the class to inspect every- one's fingernails and to see if everyone had a handkerchief. I was class nurse and got to squirt perfume on all the hand- kerchiefs. We worked side by side, much to his disgust, and got along fine, as it was a job that required no communication. My love for him was deep and sincere, while the only feeling he showed toward me was to hate the ground I walked on. My motto being, Never say die, the more he disliked me, the more I liked him. I was not very clever in casting my affections around, I must admit, for I didn't care who knew how much I liked him. I expressed. my feelings openly and many times in notes. My notes should have been very touching, but not to that cold- hearted number. He quickly read the notes, tore them up, and threw them away, which literally broke my heart. I did every- thing I could to be seen with him and usually warigled a place next to him fo-r class pictures, very much to his displeasure. One day I was in a particularly good and affectionate mood and passed more notes than usual. I guess I passed one too many or he had had just too much, for he took the note to my teacher, who marched me to the principal. I died a slow death while waiting to be seen, but even slower while being seen. After my teacher's explanation as to the purpose of the visit, the principal, a man, wasted no words and lost no time in getting to the point. He informed me, in not too subtle a way that never in the history of the school Che stopped, walked to his closet, pulled out a monstrous paddle with holes, and walked back to his deskl had there been any occasion to paddle a girl, but he assured me than it could be done. My heart sank. I watched the paddle as he waved it back and forth against his hand. I was petrified. He then went on to say that next time he wouldn't use words, just the paddle. Next time! Those were the most beautiful words I had ever heard. My heart did flip-flops. Never had I been so relieved. Never so humiliated. Never again did I pass love notes in class. Never again did' I like that boy. Never yet have I spoken to him again. From that day forward I was a confirmed man-hater. Never yet have I changed. MY FLING AT FLOWER SHOWS By Barbara McGill fGrade 97 Mother gave me the idea and I gave it a push. She had said, There's going to be a flower show at Philbrook this morning. Why don't you enter something? Immediately I had my best friend over and we were merci- lessly cutting all the flowers in sight. At Philbrook we deposited all our entries in their various corners and sat down to wait .for the judges. As I looked at my flowers, I realized how poor they looked compared with other expertly arranged entries. My spirits dropped a mile, and I walked from one display to another looking, doubtless, as though I were going to die. A very friendly woman, who was admiring her own very beautiful pink rosebuds, said to me: Would you like to have a rosebud to take home?l' I very forlornly replied, Yes. 12 14-0' Taking the rose, I realized how beautiful it was and re- membered that there was a class for pink roses, so I entered it and placed it in a milk bottle among an array of lovely vases. Soon everyone had to leave so the judges could begin their afternoon work. At five o'clock we were allowed to re- enter. Quickly I raced to my home-grown entries, but alas, I had won nothing. Heart-sick and thinking the day had been wasted, I went home. Then I remembered my little pink rose. Quicker than a rocket I was back at Philbrook. There, very majestic among its pretentious rivals, was my milk bottle rose with a blue ribbon pinned to its tag. Happily I took it home. I knew that although I had spent the day looking sad, because of just that I had been given a prize-winning pink rosebud and it was worth all my trouble and early disappointments. WHEN I WAS SIX AND IN LOVE By Charlotte Cotton fGrade 9? As I look back on the few short years that have passed since my sixth birthday, I always wonder what became of my first true love. Where is he? WhaQ is he doing? But there now, I must tell you something of this dream man of mine. He was in the sixth grade, and I was but learning to read and write in the first grade. You see all my life I had been attracted to older men. He was very handsome fat least to my admiring eyes, although I couldn't vouch for it nowl. He was ever so tall, at least five feet, five, with size six shoes, the pride of all the sixth grade! Every time I passed him in the hall, my heart went pitter-patter, pitter-patter. I never did get a chance even to see him well until one day my chance came! My hero was playing the lead as Prince Charming in Sleeping Beauty. My class was watching the cast rehearse. Then the teacher asked if there was someone who would like to be Sleeping Beauty. Then the lead could watch, and my hero could obtain the correct technique of a kiss to wake a beauty from a hundred years' sleep. I was up on the stage before my teacher could say, Will you please raise your hands. Very gracefully I flopped onto the couch, and blinked my some- what short eyelashes. Closer and closer came my hero. A thrill ran up and down my spine. It was just a swift brush- like kiss, yet the world seemed to sing all around. This was love divine! With shaking legs I stood up and walked from the platform in a complete daze, the envy of every first grade girl. He graduated that year, and I advanced to the second grade. I have never seen him since, but, who knows, some day we may meet again? TOPSY, THE PUPPY By Gayle Goodnough f Grade 51 It was a bright and sunny day, and Topsy was feeling peppy. He decided to chase one gf the baby chickens, but the old mother hen had something to say about this. Taking off in the air, she came down like an airplane, right on Topsy's back. When Topsy felt her sharp bill, he ran as fast as he could. The old mother hen, close behind, realized she had won that fight, and made a bet that Topsy would never bother her again. And Topsy made the same bet.

The truth is that they are just launching forth on their critical, appreciative essays about some modern author. Each senior chooses one author and then reads as many of the wo-rks of that author as possible and also critical materials about the author in magazines and books. You may see these same distracted seniors fum- bling with a pile of cards of uniform size. Well, that is part of the game, too, for they must take notes on what they read and give the source of their material. These long themes are an excellent preparation for the kind of work the seniors will have to do next year in college. In addition, the girls have the satisfaction of studying one author rather exhaustively and expressing their own reactions to his ideas, style, and subject matter. Each author is one that has written more than one type of literature, from among such types as novels, essays, poetry, drama, biography, criticism, and letters. Authors chosen so far include Galsworthy, Kipling, Edith Wharton, Shaw, Mark Twain, Jesse Stuart, Oscar Wilde, A. A. Milne, William Allen White, Eugene O'Neill, Thomas Wolfe, Thornton Wilder. and Stephen Vincent Benet. No senior will know all about her author, but after several weeks of study, she will at least be on speaking terms with him. The two may even become good friends. Isn't that at least a step toward literary appreciation which may pay large div- idends in the years to come? LATIN CLASSES USE VISUAL AIDS Latin teachers and students admit that there is no royal road to learning. Mastery of a foreign language is not play. Neither is the acquiring of a wide English vocabulary, which is one of the main objectives of Latin study at Holland Hall. There are, however, certain approaches to the study which have the double advantage of simplifying the learning process and adding to its pleasure. One of these is the use of visual aids. English is an uninfiected language. Hence Latin conju- gations are a bit appalling to the young student. The use of fiash cards showing roots and endings affords a clear method of presentation and a rapid method of review. In connection with English word study, a by-product of Latin study, the stere- opticon lantern is used to show the picturesque origin of some of our English words. Also in the study of Roman private life, slides showing Roman architecture fpublic buildings and homesl, interior decoration fmosaics and muralsl, games, and dress are used. The slides are used much in February and March. By that time work has advanced far enough to admit of summarizing and the weather is not yet warm enough to make closed window shades oppressive. In the winter months the stereopticon is used both for class work and for assembly programs. In spring and fall European post cards are used. 14 CLHSSES... SCIENCE CLASS INVESTIGATES ADVANCES IN CHEMICAL RESEARCH The chemistry class is very eager to learn more of the ways in which, chemistry affects their daily living. Each girl has taken a research problem for individual study. During the second semester each will present some interesting and revealing information on progress made with this problem by nationally known research chemists. Topics include among others cos- metics, synthetics, drugs, alergies, cancer. Very popular with the girls is the study of plastics. People often think of a plastic article as being a substitute for the real thing. This is a quite wrong idea. A very intelligent chemist once said, Plastim fill in where Nature forgot. Almost one hundred years ago Nature forgot to create enough elephant tusks with the result that people could not make enough ivory billiard balls to supply all the needs. A chemist came to the rescue with a small celluloid ball that did resemble the ivory one, but which could be made by man. Since then men have developed many interesting and useful materials. Rapid progress has been made during the past twenty years. Plastics are made from carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen, four of the most common and plentiful elements. From these, men have made over one hundred types of plastics. Some of the every-day plastics one contacts are: telephones, nail polish, shower curtains, transparent compacts, nylon hose, rayon dresses, and tooth brushes. Because chemists can produce the desired characteristics in a plastic, there is a great future in this industry. Plastics bear watching. Because these research topics bear so closely on our daily living, Holland Hall science students are entering upon their projects with interest and enthusiasm. HISTORY CLASSES SEE GOVERNMENT IN ACTION In the earlier grades students in social studies usually con- sider first their immediate surroundings and then branch out to a study of their neighbors and of peoples more remote. In the upper high school grades the reverse process is sometimes desirable. The twelfth grade history and government class, for instance, studies the Constitution and its amendments early in the year, because all chronological United States history as well as problems in American democracy can be interpreted only in the light of the Constitution. Q It is not till the second semester that state government and city government are studied in detail. By then the biennial state legislature has gotten into full swing. Its turmoils and its achievements are in our daily papers. Its sessions are open to the interested visitor. This year, as was the practice before the war, students of history from grades eleven and twelve will be given the opportunity to visit a session of both upper and lower house cf our law making body at Oklahoma City. On the same occasion they will visit the museum of thc Statt- Historical Society at Oklahoma City. The trip has been scheduled for sometime after mid-February. The same group a little later will be given opportunity no visit a session of the Tulsa City Commission. A class in ninth grade social studies in connection with a review of city forms of government will also be given opportunity to see our city government in action. February, 1947 - MISS HOLLAND HALL HCTIVITIES TOWN HALL LECTURES GIVE VARIETY TO SENIOR PROGRAM By jean Newton It has been a privilege for the seniors in past years to at- tend the Town Hall lectures and then have lunch at a place they have chosen. About all this means to other students at Holland Hall is that the seniors come to school dressed fit to kill and then much to the dismay of those left behind, they leave their second period classes, not to return until after one ofclock. Believe me, though, there is more to attending Town Hall than just missing several classes. My first impression of this privilege was that we would have to sit and listen to a great deal of dry and boresome talking. I missed the first speaker, C. J. Hambro, eminent statesman and diplomat, who was a delegate from Norway to the general assem- bly of United Nations. However. I did hear the second speaker, Richard C. Patterson. Mr. Patterson is the United States Am- bassador to Yugoslavia and he definitely changed my opinion. Mr. Patterson held the complete attention of the entire audi- ence throughout his speech. He spoke very informally without notes on facts concerning our relationship with Yugoslavia. David Seabury, psychologist, next spoke and gave' his new and different views concerning the achievement of world peace. He believes that complete and lasting peace can come only through peace within individuals and within families and then grow to larger organizations like the U. N. O. The purpose of Town Hall is to help straighten out the many bewildering problems of today's citizens. It is to help them understand the significance and implication of events happening as the world progresses. The speakers brought to us are especially chosen for their knowledge in their different fields and for their ability as speakers. The program covers as broad a scope as possible, thus widening the citizens' knowledge in different fields. Ahead of us on the calendar we have Dr. Ralph W. Sock- man, noted minister of Christ Church in New York City, who, on February 7, will speak concerning America's Date With Destiny. Dr. Sockman served with the Y.M.C.A. during World War I. He has been associated with the World Peace Commission of the Methodist Church and for two years was president of the Federation of Churches. Among his books is The Highway to God, a religious book club selection. A poll conducted by the Christian Century named him as one of the six foremost clergymen of all denominations today. He has re- cently returned from Russia, where he was sent by the Red Cross as a delegate of the American Society for Russian Relief. On February Z1 will be james M. Hepbron, brilliant criminologist and juvenile delinquency authority, whose lecture is entitled Adult and juvenile Crime. National Problems will be presented March 14 by Truman Arnold, fa.mous trust- busting attorney-general, now federal judge. On March 21 Harold J. Kennedy, playwright and producer, will give a lec- ture entitled Current Broadway Plays. The last of the series is Houston Peterson, who is a celebrated teacher, lecturer, and author. He will give Patriotism in thd'Atvornic Age on March 28. Also a bonus performance will be presented in April. It will be of unusual character and interest, being a Town Meeting of the Air, which will be broada-ist all over the countryi The next time you see us leaving, Future Town Hallets, just remember that you will soon be able to enjoy Town Hall, just as the Class of 1947 is enjoying' the series this year. MISS HOLLAND HALL - February, 1947 DRAMATICS Play rehearsals start on February 1 By Maryanne Harwood Holland Hall students have started rehearsing for a full length play. This will be the high light of our spring activ- ities. The curtain should be going up around the last week in March. Considerable interest has been shown in the pro- duction, not only in trying out for various parts, but for the behind the scenes work such as lighting, make-up, costumes, props, etc. In fact dramatic interest and activity have reached a new high with twenty-three students participating. I The play, a three-act comedy, entitled Let Me Grow Up, by Anne Coulter Martens, is gay and frivolous. It will be directed by Mrs. D. R. Feagin, a Holland Hall alumna, who has had wide experience in play production. Miss Marian Hadley of the staff will organize costume and props crews. The heroine of the play is Lexie, a sixteen year old girl, who manages to involve herself and all of her friends by mas- querading as a nine year old in an effort'to save her mother's movie contract. The plot consists of a gay whirl of events that revolve faster and faster until a climax is reached. Tryouts were concluded on january 29. The lucky winners of parts are announced as MISS HOLLAND HALL goes to press. BeeBe Dunivan will star as Lexie, the heroine, Sue Murray as Arden, the glamour girl, Sally White, a good friend, Pat Chesnut, the older sister. Julie Park carries the role of Nola Fleming, the movie star mother. Adelaide Lyon is Aunt Lydia, the sweet old maid aunt. joan Story takes the role of Mrs. Holden, movie producer. Rehearsals are now beginning and crews being organized.

When all of these house plans and costume styles are finished, the school year also will be at an end, but the girls in the art activity class will remember it as a profitable semester. THE GIJEE CLUB By Ann Arnold The Glee Club has entered enthusiastically on its spring pro- gram. We have accepted several invitations to sing and plan more appearances for the spring. On November 24 we sang for the Friends' Class of the First Methodist Church. Ann Arnold, Vivia Van Dyne, and Cora jean Mundy sang as a trio in the November twenty-seventh chapel exercises at Holland Hall. On these occasions Marilyn Hicks accompanied. Ann Arnold sang two solos at the assembly on January 31. Miss Georgia Davis is our director and sponsor. 15 fgwffff YES, we frankly admit it . , . we're girl crazy.

In the years before the war it was merely changing to another uniform. However, in the spring of '42, people passing our dear old Alma Mater would have blinked in surprise at the extremely varied pieces of material and colors used for uniforms. The administration tried. how hard they tried! Wear plain colored ginghams, cham- brays, or seersucker in pastel colors, or small pin stripes. But did we? No! Bright reds, violent purples, Kelly greens, etc., etc., bright- ened our halls. My most vivid recollec- tion was Tish with her flowered chintz covered by a ruffled organdy pinafore. Then there were the die-hards, who per- sisted in wearing their winter uniforms until they almost melted, and our out- door girls, who came in play-suits, with the skirt on, of course, but it was sur- prising how they managed to slip them off. Yes, it was really terrific during the war years, but come Spring of '47, it's back to the pre-war days for us. It looks as if the shirt-waist dress is back again-or the American Golfer, if you prefer!

We as can't catch men fthat's usl have to resort to other superficial means of help. After much consultation a few old bud- dies who have felt the noose around the neck before, tell us that the most ef- fective weapon is a small mouse-trap. fOr is it a rat-trap?j Well, anyway we have to take into consideration that all men are really very simple and dumb and when they thought it was a mouse- trap that caught them, it was really a beautiful shade of lipstick, some exotic perfume, or maybe an angora sweater. Someone suggested hitting them with a broom as they unsuspectingly called for you some evening. After much thought we have decided that this should be used only as a last measure, namely if you can't knock them out any other way. Of course, satisfying effects have been obtained in this manner. When the victim comes to, you immediately whisper sweet nothings to him, meanwhile ca- ressing the big old nasty lump on his head. He is usually so overcome by all this light and sweetness that he forgets what hit him in the first place. And then there is the method used at Oakwold-the shock system. As your date wanders in through the door, he is immediately greeted by thousands of screaming voices and every shade of eyes peering over the banister at him. If this doesn't phase him, the circle of teachers sitting around in the library whom he has to meet, WILL! So, gals, here are just a few of the methods you can try on the unsuspecting man of your choice. If none of them work, you can always refer to Harwood.

In a dream I see her -- or is it a nightmare? Here are some hints as to how you may become like this vision. If you follow these directions, you are sure to go places. Don't ask me what places, that's not fair. First, be sweet as sugar, but get by with as much as you can. Everyone will respect you more. Second, demand as many privileges as possible. They will serve to put you on a pedestal, where, of course, you belong. Third, don't ever follow any parlia- mentary procedure in class meetings or be business-like in any way. If you do, you might accomplish something-and a sen- ior drea.m girl cloesn't want to do that. Fourth, never be dependable. Let the juniors and sophomores do the hard work. Who wants his ideal to have dishpan hands? Fifth, never get to class ahead of time. By taking a long run down the hall and sliding with ethereal grace into the class- room just before the tardy bell, you can improve your muscular coordination. No one, even an angel, will be a success with- out coordination-that is, if you want to be a success. Sixth, during class pay no attention to what is going on. Work devotedly on some other subject or look dreamily into space. This will give the impression that you are above the daily grind and have more important matters on your mind. Seventh, pay no attention to under- class students. They are poor lost souls who have from one to four years ahead of them in school and are therefore far below you and unworthy of your at- tention. Eighth, speak with great authority on all subjects. If you d0n't know every- thing now, you never will. Ninth, instead of having spring fever in the spring, have it all year. If you clon't, you may learn something and get a reputation which will embarrass you later. Who wants a dream to be sensible or wise? Finally, make application for entrance to a dozen or more colleges. Who knows? Someone, somewhere, may realize your wonderful capabilities and even think you may be a credit to his school. If you follow these directions, some- thing will happen, and what you want is results. Whether it will be a dream or a nightmare, I leave you to figure out for yourself. - Margaret Walker NEW YEAR'S onnans By Jackie Warren iGrade 63 Not another D, not another F, No more play time, no more rest!

All my sins in '46 Left me in an awful fix. If this year's resolutions I start late - oh, well, I'll begin again in '48. VAIN EXPECTATIONS By Kaye Creekmore lGrade 71 'Twas the day before Valentine'sg A card did I spy Perched on the table, It at once caught my eye. Adorned with dainty lace, And cupids swirling round,- With arrows darting everywhere: My heart leaped with a bound! But to whom is it addressed? Oh, of course, who else but me? No more of this wild guessing, I must quickly peep and see. A bold and romantic signature, Oh, my heart, be still again. A valentine for my puppy dog!

Only, on Feb- ruary 14 there is a slight formalizarion of the Valentine spirit by exchange of some incomprehensible bits of paper meaning, I Love You. And what do those Three Little Words signify? Mostly a certain insistent urge SOME- HOW to attract the attention of that small being all decked out in pigtails, pink ruffles, and perky bows. The ques- tion is HOW? Impulse conquers reason and said object of attraction is honored with a gentle gouging of the eyes, which is quickly retumed by a well-placed blow on the left shin, the beginnings of a true friendship. But to get down to cases in Holland Hall's papoosery, the male species is decidedly at a disadvantage, the ratio be- ing two to one in favor of the capricious sex. But don't think those young bravados oan't hold their own! Singly or en masse, they manage their affairs with adroitness and dispatch often frightening to behold! However, when the atmosphere on these social gatherings clears a bit, one or two couples can be distinguished apart from the maddening crowdg each of these couples consists of two men and ONE girl, the femme fatale of 1960! A very alliterative two-some are Dana and Danny and very chummy neighbors are Dana and Martin. Further romances are yet to unfold- perhaps the spring edition of MISS HOLLAND HALL will have exciting news of the latest in sub-school society. - Barbara Pettibone First Grader: Mrs. Rinker, MISS MADAME PETERS wants to know what time it is.

CURTAIN MOTTO Of the Senior English Class The thought of grammar makes some of us squeal, And when yo-u mean very, you can't say real , You better know whether you lien or you lay, For a mistake might cost you a job some day, And please, students, don't use effect to the wrong, For this can aH ect you hard and long. The tricky expression known as due to We should all learn and that means YOU too! Now don't just say like when it should be as if, 'Cause Miss Walker's grading is plenty stiff, So girls, let's remember these rules and the rest: We'll learn our grammar and pass any test. -Linda Wolferman 20 CLASS POEM Read by jean Newton at the Senior Assembly We're quite aware that you'll all swear The Class of '47 will never get to heaven, But since this year is going to be our last, We'll try to forget all about the past. So here's the lineup of our team, You'll find we're all quite a dream: fEach senior comes through the curtains as her name is called. Each is wearing the aqua colored class sweater., Ache's got poise, personality, and brains, She's got what it takes to ride on trains. Dunnie's dramatically inclined With a voice sublime. Moe is pretty in pink and blue, She's our sweetheart through and through. Wheezie goes to Long Island And really gets a tan, That's not all she gets- She always gets her man. Smoky, Jr.'s got those twinkling eyes that shine You know--the sparkling kind. Johnny's from Sapulpa-to this we all agree- She Hits back and forth just like a honey bee. While football season's on, We'll find our Lindsay's gone. Ledbetter's a gal that's really neat, On top of that she's very sweet. To Story's humor there's no compare, She always keeps us from despair. Stubby's got that old appeal With zip and pep and lots of zeal. Mac-we'll all agree there's no one like Mac, She's an addition to our ack. P Tony's the one for us, She's slim and trim with never a fuss. Westy's our southern belle, And we feel from heaven she fell. Linda's always in a whirl, She's our Arkansas girl. Miss Walker's got a friendly smile and lively spirit, 'fl-Ii, there, Pal, you'll always hear it. Now this is us, so don't you fuss, You see, God. made us thus.

Our ideals will e-'er remain For those who follow after us. We love you, and we hope that We'll never fall in your dream of Holland Hall, The fourteen girls in aqua blue. The dreams we will retain: In our minds remain Each little joy we knew, Rushing for the cars every day at noon, Going down to Quaker and singing our tune. Fourteen girls, we're as sparkling as Blue Champagne. Our ideals will e'er remain For those who follow after us. MISS HOLLAND HALL - February, 1947 QUNOFFICIALJ SENIOR SONG lTune: Yankee Doodle Boy b We're the senior class of Holland Hall: We're the fairest of them all, We're the first to get to school each day: We'll always be on the ball. ' Every year we come to Holland Hall, This is going to be our last: Although our studies worry us, We live to tell the tale. We are the SENIOR CLASS. S-S-SEN-I-I-ICR! SENIOR! SEN IORS NAME BUBBLES Early last fall the Class of '47 decided that there might be profit and pleasure for younger girls to have each senior assume a special interest in the activities of some one of them. It is similar to a system used in Eton and other famous schools in England except that the Seniors of Holland Hall definitely included no fagging in the program. Since the Seniors had as their class song, Blue Champagne, they dubbed, their special charges, the Bubbles The Seniors and the Bubble chosen by each are as follows: Jean Ache,- Barbara Branderg BeeBe Dunivan, Suzanne Adams: Margaret Evans, Meg Simp- song Mary Louise Hall, Ann Henry, Maryanne Harwood, Tam Dudleyg Maurine Johnson, Nancy Lackey, Kitty Ledbetter, Pat Davisg Marilyn Lindsay, Charlotte Cotton, Marion McMillin, Ronda Russell: Jean Newton, Barbara Bulkleyg Marilyn Sexton, Cora Jean Mundy, Joan Story, Barbara Fullerton: Jessie West- phal, Polly Ambrister: Linda Vfolferman, Vivia VanDyne. BUBBLES lContributedl To teachers perhaps we stand chiefly for troubles, To others we're known as the Seniors' own Bubbles: For the Seniors have chosen to be, I ween, The sponsors and friends of the lucky fourteen. To call us pledges you haven't the nerve, We don't fetch and carry: as fags we don't serve. We're the Seniors' Bubbles, as you know full well, And our place to others we never would sell. While others are doomed to have luncheon at home, Under Senior protection to the Quaker we roam. We wear Senior colors, we win Senior smiles That others can't capture by all of their wiles. The Seniors are bright, the Seniors are gay, But we add the sparkle, I should say: So give to the Seniors their quota of fame, But remember: the BUBBLES make the champagne. THE BUBBLES' SONG Words by Cora jean Mundy and Tam Dudley lTune: A Camp Songj We're the Bubbles of the Senior Class: We're the ones that they have pickedg They will always be good friends to us And we will always stick. We will always love them very much And we hope they'll do the same: Although our ages are apart, We will not complain: XVe are the Bubbles of Champagne. 21 sa its ATHLETICS AND SPORTS By Martha McCabe The Athletic Department, under Mrs. Kate Ekey, is to play a major part in the spring activity schedule. Starting with the second semester and going through February 14, the gym classes and the intra-mural classes will go on with hockey. Hockey is a major sport at Holland Hall. Therefore each class will have a written test at the end of the hockey period. The three weeks, period is to be divided among three types of work. The first week will be used to study the rules of hockey. The second will serve as a test of skills. Objectives are the same as for skills in any other sport: 1-roi provide such a test fan objective testj that a student may judge her own pro- gress, 2-to provide a measurement of individual needs and pro-gressg 3-to stimulate interest in skills practice. The third week will be devoted to competition between the Sakawas and Wanatas in intra-murals and between class teams. The objects of team games are: 1-to provide wholesome, vigorous out- door and in-door games in which the girls are interestedg 2-to give opportunity for cooperative action under the excitement of competition with attendant character development, 3-to de- velop the proper spirit toward victory and defeat. The written test will fall in the third week. Starting February 17 our physical director will introduce fo-lk dancing. This will continue through February 28. It is hoped that these dances will help students to achieve a good posture and graceful movement and will afford much fun a.nd pleasure through the sharing of an emotional experience with a partner or a group. March will bring basketball. There will be class competition and lead-up games. During April classes will take on volley ball, badminton, and ring toss. There will be class competition in volley ball as in basketball. In badminton there will be individual competition. Tennis is listed for one of the many activities of May if the weather permits. Throughout the semester the classes will work on individual gymnastics lconditioningj. This type of physical training is designed to instill pride in a beautiful and efficient carriage, to develop muscular coordination that will result in good posture. In her plans for the semester Mrs. Ekey has pro- vided for everyone's first choices. The girls have thoroughly enjoyed the gym period whether spent indoors or out. It should be a very successful year for the athletic department. WINTER SPORTS By Ann Carter 1Grade 43 I love to play upon the ice, 'Tis white and slick and glossy and nice. I love to slip and slide and run And throw snow balls-I think it's fun. 22 1 ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION REORGANIZES On January 10 at a special assembly, Marilyn Lindsay, of the Class of 1947, was elected president .of the newly reorgan- ized Athletic Association. The association is to consist of the president, captain and co-captain of the Sakawa team, captain and co-captain of the Wanata team, and a Lower School repre- sentative. Currently these ofiicers are BeeBe Dunivan and Celia Nesbitt, captain and co-captain of the Sakawas, Margaret Ann Evans and June Fletcher, captain and co-captain of the Wanatasg and Martha Canterbury representing the Lower School. Meetings will be held on Mondays at the home- room period. Plans for a more active athletic board have come as a result of the survey trips made this fall by student repre- sentatives to Barstow, Hockaday, and Sunset Hill Schools. Great things are expected of the organization. GYM CLASSES BUILD SNOW MEN Our first gym assignment following the Christmas holidays proved to be a. very unusual one. Mrs. Ekey, our athletic di- rector, announced that each class would make a snow man in a competition to be judged at the close of the day. We worked diligently during our ,gymnasium periods, constructing our figures and donating coats, head scarfs, tennis shoes, belts, and ties to clothe our masterpieces. Each of these masterpieces carried a sign: Miss Holland Hall , Gal in Calico , Snow- iiakeng Dan, the Drift , and The Pig. At the close of the day a half dozen faculty members were rounded up to act as judges. Ranks were handed in by each judge. First place went to The Pig, a huge porker con- structed by the sixth hour gym class. Snowflake, created by the third hour class, ca.me in second. All classes are ready to vote for another snowfall. LAME DUCKS By Barbara McGill To me there is nothing so unfortunate as being a lame duck-by which I mean not being able to swim. In the sordid minds of some is the thought that swimming is unhealthful be- cause of germs in the water. To swim, they think, is to take a chance with life, but everything done in life is a chance. Each time you cross the street, strike a match, or plug in the radio you are taking some kind of chance. Then, why be deprived the chance to swim? I have known what it is to be a watcher, to be unable to plunge into the pool and swim as others, but no more of that lame duck stuff for me. This summer I mastered swimming fairly well. Most young people know how to swim these days. It seems to be the adults who care less for water sports, but since it is probably too late to change their interests, let it go at that. As long as the younger generation takes advantage of opportunities to swim, the people of this world, which is two--thirds water, are still comparatively safe. WINTER SPORTS By Carolyn Cremin iGrade 43 I like to throw snow balls, And slide down steep inclines, And roll up funny snow figures Around the tall, thin pines. February, 1947 - MISS HOLLAND HALL to go far. Blue ranks oops in her ideas of colors and people HOLLAND HALL RESIDENCE By Maryanne Harwood Oakwold presents a truly picturesque setting in its mid- winter beauty. Although the ground is covered with a blanket of white and the leaves on the trees have been replaced by sparkling frost, everything seems to be listening, looking and waiting for the first sign of spring. The girls, relaxed and relieved from the nervous excitement of semester exams, now have time to enjoy once more their delightful surroundings and also join in the watching campaign. The seniors in particular are finding something rather sacred and more dear as each day goes by, for these are their last months at dear old Holland Hall. Even though we are wishing for the days to slip hurriedly by and suddenly mingle in the joy and confusion of commencement, we can't help feeling a little jab at our hearts when we remember all the good times we have had and all the lasting friendships we have made. We realize that we don't want these things to end too soon--we want to enjoy each to its utmost. In this issue of MISS HOLLAND HALL are listed our senior privileges and if you turn to the right page you can see all of our beaming faces. However, not listed, is our senior privilege at Oakwold, which is enjoyed and held more im- portant than any of the others by those who make their home there. This is our Senior Room. Here the girls spend their leisure hours in pleasant relaxation. A card table and plenty of cards are provided for the bridge and gin rummy fiends. A Vic, supplied to us by Kitty Ledbetter, resides in the corner and nearby are plenty of records, donated by all. There are an ample number of ash trays for those who are permitted to smoke. But perhaps most important about the room is its atmosphere. A sense of ease immediately enfolds you as you see girls draped over the furniture in all sorts of odd posi- tions, doing whatever they wish, saying whatever they wish, and thinking whatever they wish. Here is the place where the big bull sessions occur on everything from my first date to the electrolysis of hydrochloric acid. The three juniors, who have been admitted to our precious domain, usually manage to keep things rather lively and merry. Now that you have more or less of a general picture of the room that to us seniors seems to be the beating heart of Oakwold, a few personal facts will be mentioned. They can't be overlooked, fo-r it is these little things that will always stand out in our minds. Each girl is an individual, com- pletely different from everybody else and the following are the plans, likes, and dis' -es of the Oakwold seniors. JEAN NEWTON. who is our president, but commonly known as Monkey Face to those who love her, chooses aqua as her favorite color. When asked what college she . K- 'Mrs ,X Af E ,J ' I 1 ,. ,,,I,,,- L.

M, . dk plans to attend she merely answered, You've got me, but with her brain we know she should go to the best. It seems she likes men fdon't we all?l the best, and narnes as her pet peeve people who gripe. LINDA WOLFERMAN seems to have made up her mind rather definitely on going to Monticello. Her favorite color is chartreuse. When asked what she likes best, she had a hard time making up her mind between sleeping and Arkan- sas Tech football boys, but was positive in not liking to get up early. BEEBE DUNIVAN plans to go to a school of dramatics. With the starry out of this world look that Bee gets on her face when she tells you that she likes Bill best, she ought who are late irritate her. MAURINE JOHNSON thinks she would like to go to Oklahoma University, eventually taking up some type of radio work. To her, character traits are most important for she places a high value on friendliness and can not stand a per- son with a bad disposition. JOAN STORY, the sense of humor kid, has selected peach as her ideal color. Joan's ideas on going to college are unlimited, for she wants accept her. What she likes Yale men, and her dislike is KITTY LEDBETTER has to go any place where they'll most are medical students and women. chosen blue for her color. She is all set to go to Oklahoma University. With such a beam- ing personality it's no wonder that Kitty likes to be with loads of people and rates as very low an insincere friend. JESS WESTPHAL has great ambitions, and plans to go to Smith. Blue is also her favorite color. She likes sports most of all, champion swimmer that she is, and it seems that about the only thing that bothers her is tests. MARILYN SEXTON, who is kidded very much and lately called Roly Poly, Troy's little fatty, intends to go to Kansas City Junior College. Her top color is yellow and her top like, Troy. The one thing that bothers her is the person who is always planning to go on diets and never does. Then there's ME, Unimportant, but still there. I have two ambitions: one to graduate from Holland Hall and go to Kansas University, and the other our sponsor would un- doubtedly refuse to print. I like Kelly green and picnics. and my only grievance is that oh so-o-o-o early seven o'clock bell. So here we all are, the seniors of Oakwold, eagerly look- ing forward to a very bright future, but ever remembering grand old Holland Hall. K A, , A as-ww, SOCIAL BRIEFS Martha McCabe was the week-end guest of Adelaide Lyon in Oklahoma City, the week-end of January 24. The girls drove down with June Fletcher on Friday afternoon. Adelaide honored Martha with a dinner party at the Rainbow Room of the O. C. Beacon. Those at the party were Martha and Bob Burlison, Adelaide and Bill Neal, Suzanne Skinner and Dick Sevanda, Owella Crews and Keith Hickox. On Friday evening, Janury Z4, Sally White and Ruby Webb with Chester Westfall and Joe Larcher, attended the Cascia dance at Cascia Hall, following the basketball game at O.M.A. On Saturday, Janury 25, Martha Hoke and Ann Stewart, with their parents, drove to Joplin, Missouri. They enjoyed a pleasant day and returned that evening, Jean Newton, Barbara Fullerton, and Marilyn Sexoon spent the weekfend of February I in Miami, Oklahoma, at the Sun- beam Farms, where Jean and Barbara were hostesses.

THE LETTER BOX The best Christmas present john Thomas received was the arrival of his wife, the former Ann Kennedy, '41, in Salzburg, Austria, on December 25. She sailed from New York, December 14 on the Ile de France and arrived in Paris on December ZZ. Now Ann is busy taking German lessons, skiing, and plan- ning a trip with John to Vienna in the near future. Holly Burke, '42, writes glowing reports from Boston about her job with the Liberty Mutual Insurance Company ..... I do love the job. We do claims work, which consists of going over all the cases that come in from the branch offices. Boston is the home office. I handle Brooklyn and California cases with a Mr. MacFarland. There're six girls and six men in auto casualty and we work in, teams. Then they have all the other types -of insurance and after a while you're usually shifted around. What the job is mainly is trying to figure out how much each accident's going to cost the company. We read the material, write if it's not sufficient, and put a reserve on each case. You ought to see me glibly toss away a thousand or so. The most interesting part involves law. Lots of times payment hinges on some law case and we go chasin' up to the library to try to find out what happened in such and such a case. Then there's quite a bit of medicine and medical terms in- volved too. Don't know whether I'm making it sound very interesting, but it's different and not too routine-ish. And you should see me using a dictaphone and sitting behind a great huge desk with memorandums addressed to Miss A. Burke, settlement records, and so many other things. You'd think I knew what I was doing. THIS AND THAT The big hill down from the first tee at Southern Hills was the gathering place for many Holland Hall alumnae during the January snow.

Director of Holland Hall HOLLAND HALL SPEAKS By Maryanne Harwood, Editor Spring vacation is here at last, and as the girls gather up their books for the last time this quarter, I quietly breathe a little sigh of relief. All of my children are through with their quarterly exams, they have turned in their source themes, and have fulfilled all assignments that were due that last Friday. I'm proud of my brood, and as the last joyful cry of a student fades in the distance, emptiness and loneliness creep about me. I gaze about me, note the forgotten hockey stick out on the field, the red glove dropped in the driveway as an Oakwold girl rushed for the bus, and a crumpled permit slip on the front step. Yet I am comfortable. I know that each and every girl is having a good time, which gives me great satisfaction. I have watched the joint study and play, have watched the constant pushing toward the goal. And the goal? just what has been the goal? A little more knowledge, a keener sense of sportsmanship and fair play, a definite raising of the standard of scholastic achievement and of citizenship. In another nine weeks we shall let certain of our number make their way into a world that will necessitate their relying on themselves to a degree unknown in the past. That they will be ready we are confident. So I think happily of Holland Hall girls on their vacation. I'll spend the week having my windows washed. When the week has sped, I'll open my doors wide to receive the returning throng. We'll be glad to see each other again and we'll start that last quarter with an energy and enthusiasm that would amaze Superman. COVER GIRL Cadijah Helmerich lGrade 71 To secure a cover design for the Easter issue of MISS HOL- LAND HALL a contest, open to the seven grades of the Lower - School, was sponsored by the publications staff. The design selected is that of Cadijah Hel- merich, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Helmerich. Cadijah is twelve years old and a mem- ber of the seventh grade. ENGLAND. .TO. .AMERICA l O Excerpts from letters written by Audrey Lowen, Carshalton iCroydonJ Surrey, England, to Martha Hoke, of the MISS HOLLAND HALL stan March 18, 1944 Yesterday was St. Patrick's Day. I was sorry to find that the shamrock in the garden was so small that I should not be able to wear any. Father is Irish .... My brother is expected home for seven days' leave on Monday. It will be lovely. My cousin, who has been in the New Zealand navy, has just got married and he is going back to New Zealand. Another of my cousins is in the New Zealand army. I have also some second cousins somewhere in America. They are Father's cousins and he has never met them, although he tried in France in the last war, when they were stationed near each other .... What subjects do you take at school? I take English, French, Latin, Scripture, chemistry, gym, and games fnetball, hockey, cricket, tennis, roundes, and swimmingj. May 21, 1944 I received your parcel on Friday, and when I saw it on my dressing-tab1e in my bedroom, when I came home from school at midday, I was thrilled. I took some of the sweets with me in the afternoon to eat during chemistry lesson, which is usually very dull. It was sweet of you to send them and they came at a very lucky time, just as I had finished my sweet ration-three ounces a week. At school today we had to stay in for detention for geography, because we always waste time in the lessons. In history we are doing the Napoleonic and French Revolutionary Wars and learning about William Pitt, the Younger. It is very interesting. We are still here in spite of the fact that Hitler insists that southern England is in flames .... Father has just had a promotion and is now at the Ministry of Education, where he is head of the technical schools. It is my brother's birthday tomorrow and he will be twenty. He will have been in the navy two years in January. It is my birthday next month and I hope that Mother will give me some clothes for my birthday. My coupons of course! I have started to knit a sweater to go with the slacks I HOPE to have .... After the war, when steamships run between Southampton and New York, I'll come over for a summer holiday. I have always wanted to go to the United States. Could you let me have a rough idea of the dis- tance from Tulsa to New York, please. September 25, 1944 You have heard that Croydon was the hardest hit place during the flying bomb raids. I'm glad that we live a mile or so out or maybe I shouldn't be writing this now. We only had a few tiles blown oif, three panes of glass out, and the front door blown open, so we were lucky . . . VVho do you think will become president of the United States in November? My sister thinks Dewey, but I hope it will be Roosevelt. December 25, 1944 As you can see, I am writing on Christmas day. We have just finished dinner, and it was jolly good. We had a chicken because practically all the turkeys that used to be, aren't. We dug a Christmas tree out of the garden and put fairy lights and six little glass balls left over from 1939 and the little bells you sent me on it. It looks quite nice. The paper and labels you sent made our Christmas parcels look really good, a change from war-time brown paper .... We all went up to London yesterday to see Noel Coward's play, Private Lives. It was MISS HOLLAND HALL - April, 1947 awfully good and very funny. Tomorrow we are going to see Fanny by Gaslight, which Father says has been banned in U. S. A ..... We have just been listening to the American band of the A.E.F. It's jolly good. We're all sorry that Major Glenn Miller has been reported missing. We all think his band in the U. S. A., is super .... There's a question I want to ask you: is the president of the United States chosen by the number who vote for him in the whole country or by the states? I'm not making my question very clear, I'm afraid. February 8, 1945 It is funny to go out at night now and see all the street lamps lighted. They're only half strength, but they're a change from last year. The news is getting good, isn't it? The Russians only thirty-live miles from Berlin, and the Amer- icans with a landing on Corregidor, and Manila nearly open for shipping, and the British on the road to Mandalay, and all the Allies breaking through at the Siegfried Line. August 17, 1946 My brother, Michael, was demobilized from the Navy a few weeks ago. He had been in for three and a half years and he returned from Australia in June. He and my father have gone for a camping holiday in Hampshire. Mother and I decided not to go away, but to go to the theatres instead. Last week we all went to see Fred Astaire in Yolanda and the Thief. I love Fred Astaire's dancing. On Wednesday Mother and I saw Gene Tierney in Dragonwyck. On Thursday we went to London to see Shakespeare's A Mid- summer Night's Dream, in the open-air theatre in Regent's Park. The play was well acted and it was fun in the open air .... You will notice that there is a victory stamp on my envelope. The stamp was issued to commemorate victory, the first special stamp, I think, to be issued since the Corona- tion in 1937. We have no variety in our stamps as you have: they change only with the king, when they have a new portrait on them. Stamps of the British Commonwealth and Dominions have different pictures on their stamps. January 19, 1947 On the Saturday after Christmas my father took me to see Ralph Richardson in Cyrano de Bergerac. It was a very fine performance, especially on the part of Ralph Richardson and we were pleased to see that he was knighted in the New Year's Honors list, so that he is now Sir Ralph Richardson. I am looking forward to seeing his latest picture, School for Secrets. On Wednesday I am going with a school party to see Godfrey Tearle and Edith Evans in Shakespeare's An- tony and Cleopatra. Do you like going to the cinema? I do, but I prefer the theatre. The only objection is that we have to go to London for the theatre, whereas we can go to the cinema locally. Thank you for the copies of MISS HOLLAND HALL. The magazine is always very interesting and beautifully ar- ranged and set out. This may seem a stupid question, when America is supposed to be the land of plenty, but is there anything that you would like me to send you? There may be something that you don't have over there that you would like. Please let me know. 7 - , -- Q in THE YJ Slit 5 CLPS SWE BNN Remy is Wk te Nm oi so tofeae X In the Hands of the Senecasf' an Atlantic Monthly Press book, was published in 1947 by Little, Brown and Company. The author, Walter D. Edmonds, has written seven full-length books, dealing largely with New York state. He is New York born, was educated at private schools and Harvard f19Z6l. While he was still a student, his first Erie Canal story was published. His Revolutionary Wfar story, Drums Along the Mohawk, was a best seller several years ago. The new story also is laid in New York state, in a belt of land bordering the Trail of the Iroquois. This belt extends from Albany to Buffalo, embracing the Mohawk Valley and the land to the south and west. The period described is roughly that of the American Revolution. The story opens in 1778. The last chapter deals with incidents of 1784. a year after the Treaty of Paris. Briefly the story is this. In the year 1778, it was not uncommon for a band of Indians to raid a village, burn the cabins, scalp the men, and carry off the women and children. For the English at Niagara would pay eight dollars for the scalp of a colonist. Wfomen would be more valuable to the Indians as slaves or squaws. The Indians had a soft spot in their hearts for children. Children would often be accorded many privileges on the hard journey that the other prisoners would not receive. On arriving at their destination, they would doubtless be adopted into the families of their captors. Dygartsbush, New York, a village of fifteen families when the American Revolution broke out, had now met the same fate as so many villages before it. A ruthless band of Seneca Indians had come and conquered in the way peculiar to them. All the surviving inhabitants were made to carry loads of household effects salvaged from the burning cabins, and the journey was begun. There is no hero, no heroine. We hear the stories of some eight or ten from the fifteen families who constituted Dygarts- bush. In the foreground is young Delia Borst. Delia, married only a month, was at home cooking the evening meal and waiting for her husband, John, to return from Fort Plain, where he had gone to get flour, when the attack came. She is carried off by Gasotena, chief of the tribe, who has the in- tention of making her his squaw, though she does not learn that till later. Honus Kelly, the only man captive, with the help of Delia and a Mrs. Staats, escaped. Delia's thoughts go with 8 him, If only he can get back to let John know that she is alive! The party soon splits up. Pete Kelly and Ellen Mitchell, the only children captured, are being taken to a different vile lage, where they will be adopted by an Indian named Skana- sunk, who is married, but who has no children. Martha Dygart, second wife of the Dygart for whom Dygartsbush was named, saw her husband's scalp tucked neatly in a raider's belt. Her two children had been out in the woods chasing a cow at the time of the raid so all she can do is to hope that they got away. She herself is being taken to yet another village, where she will be slave to a squaw. Cary Breen, form- erly hired girl to the Kellys, knows not what fate she will meet, On arriving with her captor at the Indian village of Onondarha, Delia is surprised at the friendly greetings which she receives from the Indian women. They take off her tattered clothes and dress her in the best of their own. She is so grateful that when she notices that they wish her to make a little meal cake, she is only too happy to do so. This cake she is directed to present to an ancient shriveled woman Kas she later learns, the grandmother of the chiefl, who on receiving it, mutters, UGO-ah-wuk fdaughterl. What Delia does not know is that she has just been married. She had not men- tioned John, but if she had done so, it would have been Gasotena's duty never to rest until he had killed her husband. Indians do not sanction bigamy. A year later a child, a boy, is born to Delia. We hear no more of her till the final chapter. The intervening pages continue the stories of the other captives. Young Pete and Ellen grow up together among the Indians. Skanasunk, now a widower, clearly plans to marry Ellen, with the result that Pete and Ellen run away. After weeks of near starvation on the trail, they reach civilization and eventually marry, The ultimate fate of the others we learn in the final chapter. It is now 1784. The war is over. Seven years have passed since the raid. John Borst has rebuilt his cabin, hoping that some day Delia will return. From year to year and month to month Indian captives have been drifting in. Who knows? The next may be Delia. Again he goes to Fort Plain to lay in supplies. The words of the author best express his feelings: He bought himself some flour and a bag of salt and some salt beef. He didn't know quite how it was, but when he hap- pened to see a new bolt of dress goods, he decided to buy some. Later he decided it was because the brown striping reminded him of the color of her hair. He told the storekeeper's wife he wanted enough for a tall girl, about so high and he held his hand level with his cheekbones. He reached home just after dark. A woman was standing in the door looking out with large eyes. She wore Indian clothes, moccasins and skirt and a loose overdress. He saw her lips part to say, 'I'm back, John,' but her voice was the barest whisper. Then he saw that her eyes were wet. Neither of them heard the whippoorwill still calling in the young corn. The sufferings of the seven years, the birth and death of her child, the death of her Indian husband, are all told in this final scene. From John we learn the fate of the others. Mr. Edmonds knows the American Revolution. Both in uDrums Along the Mohawkn and this book he stresses the brutality of warg in both he stresses the cruelty of employing Indians in white men's warfare. The author also knows the early history of his own state. He supplies an excellent map of the Iroquois Trail and vicinity. As fiction the book might be better if it had a hero or heroine. As a picture of Indian character and customs it is unexcelled. April, 1947 - MISS HOLLAND HALL i 1 g ': gif 40' : ' Nfi I 5 ,Z .x . -'-.' TQMMY s N, PERFECT EASTER Feature Story It was the day before Easter and little Tommy jones stood with his nose pressed against the pane of the huge display window of Morrisonfs candy store. He was looking straight at a chocolate Easter bunny, which had in its fore-paws a tiny bunch of pink and white peppermint flowers. As Tommy stood there, several persons noticed him and came to look in the window too. Then they would glance at Tommy's tattered and patched coat, which was indeed a hand-me-down from an older brother, shake their heads, and pass on. Had they taken a second look, they would have noted that the coat hit the boy way below the knees and that his little hands were covered by the long sleeves. His feet were undoubtedly covered by shoes which had belonged to some older member of the family, and his blue denim trousers were held up by a suspender which obviously had seen better days. An old felt hat completed this young man's attire except for the torn shirt which he wore under the old coat. Tommy stood there as if entranced with the chocolate rabbit until he noticed that someone had been watching him for some time. He looked up and saw a tall young man and a beautiful girl standing beside him. It was the young man whospoke first and Tommy looked at him in amazement. That certainly is a swell-looking Easter rabbit in there, said James Edwards. It's just about the right kind for a very young man, say about seven or eight years old. At this Tommy's eyes grew larger and he looked at the rabbit again and then back at Jimmy and his young wife, Mary. Tommy was a timid little boy and he didn't just know whether he should stay with the beautiful rabbit and this friendly couple or go to the tumbled-down, unpainted shack where he lived with his brothers and sisters. Tommy was still trying to make up his mind when Mary spoke. How would you like to have that chocolate rabbit? I Ie's just about right for a little boy your age and he looks as if he'd just love to belong to you on Easter morning. You do want him, don't you? Many things raced through Tommy's mind during the few seconds before he spoke. What would happen to him if he took it home? He knew his older brothers would take it away from him and probably accuse him of stealing it. He knew his sister, Jane, would take his side, but it would do no good because his brothers were older and they had run the house since their mother had died from pneumonia just after Christ- mas. He knew he wanted the rabbit more than anything in the world, but he also knew that if he took it home, it would be his no longer. Finally he said: Yes, ma'am, I do want him very much, but-well, I just don't have enough money to buy him and I could never make enough to buy him. Anyway, I have to save the money I make picking up papers off the fioor of Mr. Smith's grocery store. Yes, I do want him-but I can't have him. At this Tommy turned and was about to leave, but Jimmy leaned down and caught his hand. MISS HOLLAND HALL - April, 1947 Wait a minute, young man, he said.. We'll buy the rabbit for you. We want to buy him for you. That's why we asked you if you wanted him. If you'll let us, we'd like to buy you a new suit and some shoes too. Then we'd like for you to go to church tomorrow just as if you were our own little boy. Wouldn't you like to go home with us tonight? said Mary. We want someone to take the place of our own little boy on Easter, and of all the ones we've thought of, we think you're the most like him. Wonyt you be our own boy for just a little while, anyway? Tommy had not known a thing like this to happen before, but finally he said, But you don't even know my name or where I live or anything! Don't you want to know my name? Of course we want to know your name, said Mary. What is it? It's Tommy Jones and I live over that way, he said point- ing with a slight gesture toward the northwest side of town. I live with my three brothers and my two sisters and my mother and father are both dead. Since Tommy had said all this in one breath, he seemed slightly winded. Jimmy was still holding Tommy's hand, so Mary reached down and took the other one. They turned and walked down toward the large department store which Tommy had always been afraid of, but which he had yet always wanted to enter. He wasn't the least bit afraid now, though, because he knew that Jimmy and Mary would take care of him and they were going to buy him a new suit and some shoes. They would be the first new thing he'd ever had. They entered the store and Tommy's eyes grew large as he looked at all the beautiful things around him. As they passed one counter, he could smell the perfumes, at another he saw sparkling costume jewelry, while at yet another he saw Easter candy and chocolate rabbits, but none which com. pared with the one he was going to have. They walked on until finally they came to the elevator. Tommy had never been on an elevator before, and he was very much excited as they went up and up to the sixth floor. Here they got off and Jimmy led the way to the department where they were to buy Tommy's suit and shoes. Tommy had a wonderful time in the department store while Jimmy and Mary waited for the beautiful little blue suit, the white shirt, the blue cap, and the black shoes to be wrapped. When finally they were ready to leave, Tommy was ready too. Since Tommy thought that he should tell his sister that he wasnft going to be home thatnight, he asked Mary if it was all right for him to go home to tell her. Mary said that she would go with him to explain and Jimmy took himself off on errands of his own. An hour and a half later Mary had com. pleted her mission and with Tommy had arrived at the charm- fContinued to page 241 9 c p I WEST POINT YESTERDAY AND TODAY By Frances McMillin 1Grade 111 The United States Military Academy, known as West Point, is located at West Point, New York, on the west bank of the Hudson River, fifty miles north of New York City. At the outbreak of the Revolutionary War, both the colonists and the British recognized the importance of gaining possession of the Hudson River valley, and West Point became the strategic center. In July, 1779, George Washington estab- lished his headquarters at West Point in the Moore House, which stood in what is now known as Washington Valley. His headquarters remained there until November. In 1780 it was under the command of Benedict Arnold, whose plan to betray it to the enemy was frustrated by the capture of Andre. In 1802 Congress passed a bill providing for the establish. ment of a military academy and located it at West Point. The Academy, with ten cadets, was first opened on July 4, 1802. Admission today is secured by appointment of the President of the United States. Every state may send two cadets from each congressional district, beside four at large. Thus Oklahoma may send two cadets for each of its eight congressional districts beside the four at large, a total of twenty. The two appointments from a congressional district are made upon the recommendation of the representative in Congress from the district and those from a state at large are made upon the recommendation of the senators from the State. The academic course is for four years and the cadet pledges himself to serve the United States for eight years after grad- uation unless sooner discharged. Reports of a cadet's academic standing are sent monthly to his parents. These reports do not give numerical or letter grades, but instead the relative rank of the cadet among his classmates. There is a Hne honor system at West Point. The system imposes three principles of conduct: 1. honesty in academic workg 2. refusal to resort to evasion to escape punishmentg 3. the obligation to abstain entirely from drinking or gambling during an absence if the cadet has given the promise, All right. No cadet is dismissed if he reports himself for viola- tion of the rulesg on the other hand if he is reported by someone else, he is dismissed from the Academy. It will be recalled that Rhett Butler in Gone With the Wind was dis- missed from West Point. June Week at West Point is a glorious six days of festiv- ities. Four formal hops are held, there are many parades, the most thrilling held at six o'clock the day before graduation exercises. Upon graduation many hurry to their quarters, don their uniforms of olive drab, and one hour later are standing before the altar with their brides. During the year, 1942, twenty'five graduates were married on Commencement Day. Among the outstanding graduates serving in the Civil War were Sheridan 118531, Sherman 118451, McClellan 118461, Lee 118291, Jackson 118461, Longstreet 118421, Jeb Stuart 118541. Among the generals of World War II who were graduated from West Point are General Eisenhower and Gen- eral MacArthur. In this present day of unrest all over the world, West Point occupies an important part in our national defense in as much as it furnishes a continuous flow of qualified officers for the army. 10 N BLUE CHINA By julie Flint 1Grade 111 I inherit my interest in antiques from my mother. I have chosen to write about blue china because I like blue so well. During the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries Chinese por. celain, often white with blue design, began to find its way into Europe. The extreme whiteness of the china excited Europeans. During the eighteenth century not only was there a large trade in imported Chinese and Japanese porcelain, but there was a great development of porcelain manufacture in Europe. The rich blue color, which until recent years has been impossible of reproduction, was first adopted in England early in the nineteenth century. It was an echo of the oriental blues as well as of the Dutch delft, which because of Holland's earlier trade facilities with the Orient represented the first repro. duction of that color in Europe. In the 1800's the British established a profitable commerce with the British colonies and the states of the new American republic. They decorated the pottery destined for our markets with faithful views taken from America itself. By far the greater number of American views were handled by a group of hamlets in Staffordshire, England. The blue china of Staffordshire had scenes reproduced from the books, The Beauties of America and Picturesque Views on the Hudson River. A few potters sent their own artists over to America to make drawings with pen and pencil, or sketches in oil, or even impressions with the newly invented camera. These sketches included scenery bordering upon the wonderful rivers of mountain ranges, inland lakes and Niagara Falls, state houses, inns, churches, and later people. The English potters did not hesitate to know the national heroes of the new re. public and to use portraits of George Washington and naval heroes of the War of 1812. Nearly every potter used a border that was a ready means of identification. The border designs are composed of graceful combinations of sea.shells and mosses, roses and scrolls, acorns and leaves, grapes and vines, or fruit, birds, and flowers in a delightful arrangement. A few blue china plates are: the Hudson River scenery series, which have border sprays of roses with parrots among them, the Landing of LaFayette with a border of flowersg the States, which have a scalloped festoon bearing the names of fifteen states with the President's house in the center, the portrait of George Washington with a border of fruits and flowers. Names of the potters which the collector most commonly finds upon the back of his specimens are: Enoch, Wood, Stevenson, Clews, Ridgway, Stubbs, Tams, Mayer, Adams, Jackson, and Green. This blue china, shipped to America in large quantities and purchased for daily use by our forefathers, was admired and loved because of the rich color and quaint forms. The prices given for the imported ware were very small, in fact a sixpence or a shilling being the cost of a single plate. Nowadays the price you pay for a piece of blue china is unlimited. A few years ago S290 was given for a blue plate picturing New York from Brooklyn Heights. At a recent sale S1000 was paid for a Pennsylvania Arms plate, and not long ago a platter of the New York from Weehawkn design brought 51225, the highest price paid during 1946 for a specimen of old blue Stafford- shire. Old blue china may be found today in museums or in priceless china collections and even still on the farms of the eastern coast, where everyday dishes have been handed down from parents to children through the generations. April, 1947 - MISS HOLLAND HALL I ONE DAY IN NEW YORK By Mary Lee Mulhall lGrade 10? An experience of my early years that has stayed in my mind more vividly than any other was a two weeks' visit in New York. I shall tell you what we did in one day and leave you to imagine what we achieved in the two weeks. The first morning I was in New York, my aunt, whom I was visiting, decided that I should see ALL the interesting places in New York, so we decided to leave early. At exactly seven- thirty lA.M.l we left my aunt's apartxnent and boarded the El, which took us to the Battery and the Aquarium. We went through the Aquarium, looked at all the odd fish, then got on a boat that took us out to the Statue of Liberty. We climbed halfway up the endless steps and I got scared because it seemed the winding stairs were just jutting out in space and when you looked down, you could see only huge machines and I was scared to death that I might fall. After we got down and back once more on the mainland, we took a subway to China Town. I was a little leary of all those funny-looking people we were going to see and it didn't help when a man in the subway told us it wasn't safe for a woman and child to go to China Town by themselves. By the time we had seen China Town, I was tired from all the run- ning to catch trains and from being jostled about by sidewalk crowds. Still, I HAD to see New York, so we struggled to the Empire State Building. Going up in the elevator was like taking off in an airplane and my ears popped terribly. From the nop of the Empire State I saw all Manhattan and at their docks in East River the Normandie and the Queen Eliza- beth. After that we slowly elbowed our way through the throngs of people to the Metropolitan Museum, where, being bored with pictures and extremely tired, I just went to sleep on a bench. After being rudely awakened, I accompanied my aunt to Radio City to see a movie. What was my amazement on arriving there to discover that it was only one o'cl'ock5 I had never doubted that it was three or four. We saw Bette Davis in something. Probably I was just tired, but I hated her in the movie and I have never liked her since. When finally I got home, I just dropped into bed. I was so tired that I could hardly hold my head up. Never again will I put in a day like thats never again for the sake of ten hours' sight.seeing will I go through such an exhausting ordeal. SPRING FASHION S, 1947 By Josephine Davis lGrade 91 The new spring styles this year are very, very different from those of the war years. In fact the styles have changed so much that the fashionable woman of America this spring will look as if she stepped out of a 1918 Vogue The accordion pleated skirts appear along with the long tight skirt. Another styling in skirts is the side drape or wrap. The jackets which combine with these skirts to make suits are also very different. There is the bolero jacket, the peplum jacket, the long cuta- way, and the boxy jacket. Especially new are the long jackets and the boxy jackets. The preferred colors for suits are all grey, or navy skirt with white jacket, or dark stripes on a white background. In hats the wide brim is again coming back. With jackets and skirts both getting longer, this spring marks the beginning of a new era in clothes. MISS HOLLAND HALL - April, 1947 A DAY IN HOLLYWOOD By Caroline Clarke lGrade 103 When our family went to California last summer, my cousin, Bob, a contract player at R.K.O. fRadio Keith Orpheuml took us through the studio lor and this is what we found. We went through the door that all the stars use and saw before us roads going in all directions with garden plots and parkway shrubberies between. A movie lot is a city in itself, with street signs and buildings, restaurants and telephone booths. The street signs tell you which way to go to Lot Z or, perhaps to Make-up, the sound stage, or the costume department. Within the buildings you find almost anything. I opened one door and found myself in a beautiful house with winding staircase. Adjoining the front hall was the study with rows and rows of books, and in one corner, drinks. The next door I went through put me in a bank of an old western town of the l880's. I stepped over some light wires and walked into the club car of The Century with its bar and all. After walking through a small snow SIOITI1, we came to the sound stage, where Claire Trevor was doing a scene from a picture with Larry Tierney. They did the scene over ten or eleven times and in between each two shots they brushed his hat, combed her hair, and fixed make-up. We ate at the commissary, where we met Frances Langford, who asked us to come to watch her make a scene on her picture. At the commissary we also met Cary Grant. On Frances Lang. ford's set we met Ralph Edwards, who talked with us and who remembered all our names. We left that set and waited on the side of the street while a Ford V-Eight, 1929 model, a tank, and some harem girls passed by. We went to see the sets in Culver City, where all the cowboy pictures are made. We drove down the streets of little western towns with saloons and wooden sidewalks, hitching posts and stables on all sides. We passed through a little bombed city with half a church in the center. Bob said he thought it was a set for John Hersey's A Bell for Adanof' We passed the railroad station at Atlanta, a set for Gone with the Wind. Tara was just across the road from the station, but it didn't have any trees or grass now and didn't look like the Tara of the picture. After such a long day, we were tired out, but I shall never forget the fun I had that day in Hollywood. ' EASTER TO ME By Cora Jean Mundy iGrade 97 As my thoughts turn to the Easter of my childhood days, I remember how I could hardly wait until the Easter bunny would come and hide the eggs that Mother and I had dyed. I had fun then and I still do trying to find the eggs, but Easter means something more to me now. Easter Sunday is the day on which our Lord rose from the dead three days after He had been crucified. Easter Sunday also ends the Lenten season. I like to walk to church on Easter morning when the day is cool and the air refreshing. When I get to church, I take Holy Communion and after the service is over, I tum in my mite box. Easter just wouldn't be Easter at all if everyone didn't wear a new spring outfit and a new spring hat. It should be kept as a beautiful day. 11 r 1 I THE EASTER HAT By Celia Nesbitt lGrade 113 It seems as if each year Easter hats become more and more exotic-exotic in the sense that they are something that shouldn't be allowed in this pleasant world of ours. Easter hats in some cases cause the ending of friendships, they cause cutting remarks and empty pocketbooks, and in some cases the near separation of man and wife. I remember how two years ago my mother came home rav- ing about a new hat which she had bought for Easter, still five weeks off. I assumed from her description that this hat must be really something. Well, next day the hat arrived, and what a hat! Soon in our usually calm household rumors about Mother and Daddy were flying about. A hat was an un- mentionable subject around our house for about a month. Then around Easter out came this concoction, a pancake topped by a nest of birds, with a feather from one of the bird's tails coming under the chin. Easter morning Mother donned her hat and we all set out for church. I've never seen my daddy blush before, but when we stepped into the church, Daddy's face and his red tie became the same color. Interested glances were thrown Mother's way and because of this, I as. sume, a funny thing happened: THE HAT WAS NEVER WORN AGAIN. This hat was really something, as I had early reasoned that it must beg it was something that ended in the rummage sale the next year. MY FIRST SPRING HAT By Ann Wright fGrade 10l The first spring hat I had ever owned! Well, the first real spring hat, anyway. It was bedecked with small flowers sup. posed to look like natural roses reposing in a small basket affair. I was only in grade school, but this year it seemed to be the style for everyone to wear these little bonnet deals. I was very much pleased with my new creation, of course, but since I had always hated hats in any fashion, shape, or form, I was a little leary of wearing it. However, since my family seemed to think it just the thing, I had gotten up the nerve, as I thought, to don my Easter bonnet and be seen at church. As the day drew nearer, my nerve slowly decreased, and by Easter morning I was totally petrified even at the thought of it. I decided at first to pretend to be ill, in hopes that I might not have to go, but very soon I had to give this idea up, through my family's persuasion, of course. I knew by this time that I had to go to church and with the hatll' As I dressed, I prayed that something horrible would happen and then I would be saved, but nothing did happen and finally I was in the car and on my way. The mere thought of that silly looking thing on my head made me cringe all over and my hands began to get cold and clammy. We were in front of church and it took every bit of strength I possessed to step from the car. For once I was in luck: there was no one there yet and although in one way this made me feel worse, I thought I was spared at least a few minutes more. I walked upstairs, sat down in our classroom and waited. Then I heard footsteps coming up the stairs and knew this was and would be always the worst moment in my life-when ap- peared all the rest of the girls. They had been waiting for me in the auditorium--and each and everyone in her Easter bonnet, almost identical with mine! 12 4-fd-J EASTER By Barbara Fullerton 1Grade 93 Once upon a time there lived a little boy and girl who never knew what Easter means. Every Easter they would look out of the window wishing that they were going along with the other children to Sunday School. One Easter, when they were least expecting anything to come to them, they awoke very early. They suddenly re- membered that it was Easter and strayed to the front windows. They saw a basket outside with an Easter bunny on top. Run- ning, they opened the door and brought in the basket. There were eggs and to their very great surprise a new dress and suit. They dashed in to tell their mother and she said to look for a card in the basket. They looked and found a little pink card which said, Be ready at half past nine for Sunday School and then stay on for the Easter egg hunt. Sincerely, Betty Hunt. - Betty Hunt was the daughter of one of the wealthiest families in town and a very sweet child she was. Dashing about, the boy and girl were finally dressed in their new spring outfits. When Betty came to the door and asked if they were ready, they said, Yes, and climbed into the car beside Betty, who with her father, was taking them to Sunday School. They attended Sunday School and stayed for the egg hunt. When they were brought back, they thanked Mr. Hunt and Betty and said they had never had such a good time in all their lives. A REAL MUSEUM By Barbara Brander 1Grade 81 While I was visiting friends in New Hampshire one autumn, we stayed at a small town called Fitzwilliam. The in.n in which we stayed was built in 1740 and hadn't been done over since. The stairways have leather buckets hanging along the wall for use in case of fire. This inn is the only place where meals may be secured unless they are prepared at home. The town seems to have stood still through two centuries and to have pre- served both its ancient household utensils and its quaint cus. toms. Instead of looking at these utensils through the glass case of a museum, we actually handle and use them. All the old houses of Fitzwilliam have been bought up and re.decorated. They make beautiful summer homes. With the early American architecture and colonial furniture, a person feels as if he were living in the early part of the eighteenth century. The only store in the village supplies all that the town needs including groceries and hardware. It also houses the post- office. There is one antique shop, in a building which is sup- posed to be one of the oldest buildings in the East. It is so old that the key for the lock is about eight inches long and has an old-fashioned knocker on it. There are various kinds of entertainment going on. In the daytime there is swimming and occasionally a party. Once in a while the churches will have get-togethers, which bring in night life too. The real activity at night is square dancing, in which both the young and old take part. If any movies or any social life is required, one may go into the nearby town. I have seen many museums, from the one at Philbrook in Tulsa to the huge Smithsonian in Washington. Compared to these, the little New England town o-f Fitzwilliam is far more interesting to me, for it is a museum in its own rights. April, 1947 - MISS HOLLAND HALL f -44? SPRING IN DEAUVILLE By Ann Arnold fGrade 93 When the wind blows lightly across her brow and she breathes air full of delicious scents, Nanette knows it's spring. When she has a bright new dress and a flowered hat, she knows it's Easter and time to be light-hearted. Today she must press her old dress and fluff up her three. years-old hat and go to church. Things were different before the war. Nanette had a new spring outfit every Easter and she rode to church in her father's automobile. The car was still outside, but it was in dire need of repairs and there was no way to get tires or gas. The car had not been driven for two years and it looked quite lonely, and with its covering of dirt, dilap' idated. With her dark brown hair waving in the breeze, Nanette started on her way toward the nearby town of Deauville, where from her earliest memory she had attended church. Today she took the short cut through the veld and she noticed how green the grass was and how lively the Howers were. This as- pect of spring always interested her and she took great pride in her knowledge of nature. During the war she had to learn about the soil and how to cultivate it. Indeed she had learned many things during the war-how to hide patriots, smuggle food, clothes, and ammunition, how to cook with a minimum of food and fuel, how to bandage a wound. But now she is going to church to worship God and to thank Him for the peace. In her heart she knows that France WILL live again and that the Easter spirit is revivifying every part of the world. I AM IMPORTANT By Cornelia Hall iGrade 8? The grown-ups in my neighborhood think I am extremely important, especially when they want to go somewhere. In my neighborhood I am known as the baby-sitter of Seventeenth Place. I make it possible for fathers and mothers to fulfill many important engagements. When I think about it, I really believe that our neighborhood couldn't get along without me. I AM IMPORTANT By Priscilla Carter lGrade 8? A To my dog I am the most important member of my family. She depends on me for her food, her bedding, and her all- round: care. Even the combing of a burr from the curl on the tip of her tail matters to her. Although there is an occasional spanking, it is mixed with praise and she understands that it is best for her welfare. I don't know what I should do if I couldn't see her large brown eyes looking lovingly up at me as she nudges my leg for an affectionate pat on the nose. I AM IMPORTANT By Nancy Lackey lGrade 85 V I realize that I am not well known anywhere except at home, but then I am important to my family and my horse. To my horse I am very important, for he knows that when I come into the stable, he will receive a piece of sugar, an apple, or a carrot, and a lot of special attention. Whenever I come into our stable, he welcomes me with soft neighs, and begins to prance around in his stall until I arrive there. Then he immediately starts nudging me for that little treat. I shall probably never be known for my contributions to the world, but I know I shall always be well known to our horses. MISS HOLLAND HALL - April, 1947 . A WEEK ON PENOBSCOT BAY By Louise Curran fGrade 83 Arriving in the quaint little New England town of Camden, Maine, to embark on a schooner trip, we found we were short on sailing clothes, so we immediately dashed off to the Smiling Cow, the local store, for last minute purchases. Early next morning we hoisted sail, and were off on an adventurous trip. We little knew what was in store for us. After clearing Camden Harbor, we thoroughly enjoyed a sunny day, perfect for sailing. We docked late in the after- noon at Stonington, ending a most enjoyable day. The next couple of days were spent chiefly keeping warm from the wintry breezes. I never could understand why anybody would want to go swimming then, and the one person who tried it soon regretted it. The following evening we docked early so we could dig clams for the clam bake before sunset. The evening was spent, by most, that is, eating clams and telling stories around the camp-fire. I myself preferred to go to bed hungry. As we were getting into the row-boats that would take us back to the ship, I misjudged the edge of the beach by a few feet, and went up to my waist in ice-cold water. When Daddy heard that some girl had fallen into the water, he remarked, Eight to five it is Louise. The climax came a day later. We were headed for Rock- land with a very strong wind on our stern, which changed to a gale with rain. When we finally made it to the breakwater, it was all we could do to sit on our bunksg much less would we have been able to go on deck. Like most of the passengers, I was a little seasick. Imagine my feelings when the mate an- nounced that he was going ashore for lobster and ice-creaml We managed to ride out the gale and awakened the next moming to find a beautiful sunny day for a perfect trip back to Camden, ending a very enjoyable week at sea. SPRING CHORES OF A SAILOR By Debby Page lGrade 103 Spring may be a gay time to dear old Mother Nature, but it is a pain in the neck to the nautically-minded person. To most people spring means lovely colorful flowers, beautiful cloudless days, and new Easter clothes, while to the sailor it means paint-smeared jeans, broken fingernails, and bits of sail- cloth all over the house. Spring is the beginning of a new sailing season, and it involves a great deal of work. Nearly every sailor gives his boat a new coat of paint, which means sanding the old paint off, and all by hand. One of the most difhcult things in pre- paring a boat for a new season is the calking. A person calks his boat if it leaks, as almost all boats do. The bad part is that a person usually puts too much calking in and doesn't allow for the swelling of the boards after the boat is in the water. What follows is disaster. The boards spring loose and the boat falls apart. Oh, well! That is just one of the little things a person has to put up with if he is a sailor. Since at the end of a sailing season the sails are usually torn to shreds, that means mending them all in the spring. Mending sails is a job that really should be inflicted on no one. A person usually ends with half a dozen broken needles and as many damaged fingers. Now you can see what spring means to a sailor. My only advice isg stick to the land and enjoy the peacefulness of spring. 13 W 'W 'S RMS Qv x My QU E93 nf If f I W K7 X Q Q NQL ,g f N' , f Q RN ff U71 5 CTJUWLC Cnjabn, rv!! tfgow C-oZZP0'rL'J jarfuc aprml ad wehfciz we have CFCIUUL umm, cfzeallcl Lv fafrnffws cfefsijrww fan iliffe-wise 90105 of auaju goan . .rvuntfmm . .

We have had our ups and downs, mostly downs, when you consider the way our personnel has changed in four issues but we've done the best we could with what we've got fapologies for grammar, Miss Walkerl. If we've stepped too hard on anyone's toes we are sincerely sorry. And boys, if your best girl was paired with some- one new, don't blame them or us. Girls are slightly inclined to be catty you know, and what we print is what they tell us. ' As we explained long years ago this section has no claims on good journalism and we are quite sure Miss Craig cringes at some of the things we turn in. Our spelling, grammar, punctuation, etc., has absolutely no connection with the Eng- lish language but it's Ours Alone. So long, have fun this summer and we'll be seeing you next year, we hope!! -Julie Flint Why don't someone tell me these things? For two weeks I had been traveling in neighboring cities expounding the per- fections of Holland Hall to prospective students and their parents. I talked at great length about the neatness of our uniforms, the perfect class behavior, the conservativeness of our teachers, etc. etc. etc. On this particular moming I proudly escorted Mr. and Mrs. John Doe and little Imogene of ---4-fsecretl to see the school and meet Dr. Tomes. The first sight which met our eyes was a student in blue jeans, a green sweater, paint all over her face, wearing a hat that had pinned on it a whistle, Donald Duck, a chicken feather, numerous serv- ice insignia, valentines, a Dewey button, fishing hooks and right in the middle an American flag. Behind her came two girls in long blue Hannel nightgowns holding teddy bears, then one in a very short play suit. Our guests looked at me in surprise and l explained there must be some sort of play going on. I suggested meet- ing Dr. Tomes and knocked on her office door. It opened and there was the dignified head of our school dressed in Holland Hall uniform, white socks and loafers with a blue ribbon in her hair!! You guessed it, it was FREAK DAY. -Lillian Gibbs STAFF ROOM The latest item seen on the faculty bul- letin board shows to what length teachers go in search of new occupations. fWe found this out on Freak Day when we were allowed into that sanctum of all sanctumsl.

Tamron: z-0191 15 I I f EGG ROLLING AT THE WHITE HOUSE By Barbara McGill fGrade 91 England was the originator of Easter egg rolling games and contests on Easter Monday. Dolly Madison, wife of our fourth president, was the first to adopt the idea in America. In the beginning, eggs were rolled down the Capitol grounds. Be- cause of injury to the grounds, egg rolling' was moved to the larger White House terraces. The children gather and sit calmly at the top of the lawns, each with a basket of brightly colored eggs. They work in teamsg each team has a person stationed at each interval of the graduated terrace. As soon as the eggs roll down one slope, the child waiting below starts it hurtling down the next. When the boys and girls have rolled all the eggs, they next roll themselves with shouts of laughter down the soft lawns. The winner is the child or- team that ends with the most un. cracked and unbroken eggs. - The gates of the White House are open from nine until five, and no adult may enter unless accompanied by a child. Ex- cept in time of war, the traditional egg rolling has been ob- served each Easter Monday. EASTER BONNETS By Sally Teale iGrade 9l Have you a new spring bonnet or hat? A hat with flowers or a baseball bat? A creation wondrous, sparkling, and gay To wear with pride on Easter day? To march in style in the Easter parade, With this fine hat that you have made? My, oh, my, what have we here? A hat? Rather a woods to hide the deer. Oh, and ah! what is this that I see? Well! Bless my soul! A bird in a tree. Such display of skill in making a hat, I have neyer before seen a thing like that. Popeye, Mickey Mouse, and Herbert, the Pig, Adorn the hats, both little and big. And SHE is so proud of her new Easter bonnet, With each little frill and doodad on it, I'm sure 'twill be a perfect day And everyone will be happy and gay. SPRINGTIME AT THE FARM By ,Anne Bailliere lGrade 93 Springtime on our hillside, Jonquils all aglow, Bunnies darting back and forth, Red birds flying low, Mr. Turtle's lazy gait, Looks as though he may be late! Dogwood blossoms white and pink, Lifted toward a sky so blue, Make me happy through and through. These are sights and sounds of spring That make our hearts and hillside sing. 16 W 4-0 DONALD DUCK By Beverly Ann Ewing lGrade 103 I was seven years old. I woke up that Easter morning to feel something biting the end of my nose. I opened my eyes, and lo and behold! there was a little golden baby duck scar. ing me in the face. We named him Donald. He was the First pet I ever had and everywhere I went, I would insist on taking Donald, but my mother seemed to have different ideas. My father made a huge pen and Donald stayed there at night. Sometimes I would slip out after everyone was asleep and get in the pen with him. One night I accidentally fell asleep and when morning came, that was where my mother found me. Of course I wasn't allowed out of the house for a week. I had had Donald for a year now. I was eight. It was Easter morning and Donald was one year old. But when I woke up, there were six little baby ducks staring me in the face. Donaldis name was promptly changed to Daisy, but I was satisfied, for now there were six little Donalds running around. EASTER By Ronda Russell iGrade 9, Trees are budding here and there, And songs of birds are in the airg The winter snows are now long past, Spring is in the air at last, Jonquils, tulips, daisies gay Brighten hearts along the way, Christ is risen, they seem to say, On this glorious Easter day. SPRING DAWN By Polly Ambrister iGrade 9? The day dawns clear as the sun comes up Over the hills and dales, Over the heads of the buttercups, As night lifts up her veils. It's a beautiful morn as the world awakes To the singing of the birdsg And the gay birds really seem to speak, And these seem to be the words: Spring is here and new is the day, The trees have back their leaves, The world with a gentle breeze does sway As a pattern it gaily weaves. 7. A pattern of flowers here and there Sprinkled over the lawng V At this gay time we have not a care, And it's only half past dawn. Yes, spring is a time when the breezes blow And all the world is gay, There's nothing so nice, as everyone knows, As a lovely new spring day. April, 1947 - MISS HOLLAND HALL MARCH By Jacque Elaine Lair lgirade 53 Sometimes March is like a lion, Sometimes like a lamb, When a lion, the kites all fly, When a lamb, the sun's in the sky. But March, I think, is a good old fellow Even though he isn't mellow, I like lVlarch's windy way, Because March brings the first spring day. SPRING By Gayle Goodnough CG Spring is near, Birds you hear, Flowers that pop Will make you stop To smell their dainty Tulips are gay, And daffodils play, There are lilies fair, So pure and rare: rade 55 fragrance. I HIDE AND SEEK By Marian Long lGrade Sl I found a little bunny So very, very funny, Last Easter Day. His little eyes would twinkle, His little nose would wrinkle All the day. He would hide his little eggs, Then hasten on his legs And hop away. SPRING FLOWERS By Anne Wolfe 1Grade 63 Peeping through the soft moist ground Quaint little flowers in the soil abound, Under bushes seeming to hide, Little faces on every side. Some are blushing, some are bold, Slowly others their petals unfoldg Almost all have a necklace green, Such a sight is rarely seen! It's spring that brings them here. Bunnies hop, Eggs they drop At each door- Colors galore, For Easter Day has c 01119. THE EASTER BUNNY By Ann Carter 1Grade 43 Once I saw a little bunny, When the day was nice and sunny, Hopping merrily upon the soft, green grass. I liked the little bunny, He was so white and funny, With a basket on his back I saw him pass. There were speckled eggs and blue, Eggs of every sort and hue, How happy all of them would make a lass!

They were met at the plane by Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Campbell, who gave the girls one glorious time-an afternoon of shopping and seeing the interesting places in Dallas, dinner and floor-show at the Adolphus. The next morning American Airlines called for the girls at the hotel and took them to the airport for the return trip.

ENGLISH RECTOR ADDRESSES STUDENTS No other subject has greater interest for young people than religion if the speaker is one hundred percent sincere. Holland Hall was very fortunate in having just such a speaker for assembly on Tuesday afternoon, March ll. It was the Reverend Dr. Bryan Green, rector of Holy Trinity Church, Brompton, London. He has been in America for the past three months speaking to high school and college students all over the country. He was invited to America by the Inter- national Council of Churches. Dr. Green warned against.suspicion, mistrust, and fear of each other either as nations or individuals. He pointed out that wars are caused by this mutual suspicion and that neither victor nor vanquished gains anything through war. He spoke of the ruins of bombed London and the Hattened cities of Germany. And we shall not have a world free from wars, he said, till we can quit the practices that make for suspicion. What Dr. Green really discussed was basic Christianity. He said that all people have a little of the angel and a little of the devil in them. Holding his arm at shoulder level he asserted that most of us have high enough ideals of truth, purity, and kindness, then letting his arm gradually lower, he indicated the level of attainment. The downfall of men and the world, he said, results from selfishness and sin, the middle letter of which significantly is UI. All girls from the sixth to the twelfth grade were present. Dr. Green held the riveted attention of every girl. He made every person present want to be something better. FIRST GRADE STAGES PLAY On Tuesday, February 20, the first grade girls took over the Lower School morning assembly, when they presented a play, entitled, Spring Flowers. Characters were as follows: Little Girl, Muggy Billingsleag North Wind, Patricia Mc- Clintockg South Wind, Betsy Adkinsong Sun, Nancy Tinling Rain, Elaine Jensen, Daffy-Down-Dillies, Chrys Perry, Ma- lissa Billingsleag Daisies, Linda Lee Welch, Sandra Spivey, Pansies, Ruth Broach, Laura Gatra Marvin, Kathy Triplett. The second part of the program consisted of a group of choral readings by the entire first grade. Selections were: The Showmanng Oliver Hereford's The Elf and the Dor- mouse 5 and Oliver A. Wadsworth's Over in the Meadow. SEVENTH GRADE STAGES PLAY On Monday, February 24, at an 8350 all-school assembly in the auditorium, the Seventh Grade Dramatic Club put on one of the popular programs of the year, a one-act play, en- titled, The Bird on Nellie's Hat. Theme, stage set, and cos. tumes all suggested the early years of the present century. It was during the administration of President Theodore Roose- velt that legislation was passed forbidding the use of egret feathers on women's hats. Elaine Bush carried the title role. Grace, the married sister, was played by Eddie May Gregory. Mary Nelson was excellent as the mother of a teen-age girl in 1901. Kaye Creek- more was the vivacious president of the Deed-a-Day Circle, a club of teen-age girls. Friends of Nellie and members of the club were Marie Dickason, Cadijah Helmerich, Britta Ann Reinhardt, and Ann Wyly. The program was introduced by Martha Canterbury. The play was directed by Mrs. E. J. Kiker, club sponsor. Certainly the Seventh Grade Dramatic Club is to be congratulated for putting on two excellent one-acts this season. 20 AMERICAN AIRLINES MOVIE IS SHOWN On Thursday, March 20, at the morning assembly, Mr. M. A. Atkinson, Jr., of American Airlines, put on a most in- teresting movie of an airplane trip to New York. Also present was Miss Kyle Rodenbaeck, instructor in the American Airlines Training School for Stewardesses. She told us both of the routine duties of a stewardess and of the thrilling special assignments which sometimes come one's way. All in all, the program was one of the very best of the year. MRS. D. R. FEAGIN fMargery Mayo, 'asp PUTS ON HOLLAND HALL PLAY Holland Hall students, under the direction of Mrs. D. R.

She reports there is nothing like it and she plans to return next year. Recent Tulsa visitors have been Betty Moore Barnard, '32, who is now living in San Antonio and Jocelyn Moser Hewgley, '38, from Jackson, Miss. Hazel Farmer Larson, '36, here from her home in Minneapolis, found herself the lucky winner of a pair of shoes from Dorothy's when the key she received at the style show fitted into the case in the shop. On the move lately were Helen Price Hikes, '39, who is now living in Louisville and Jane Feagin Cheairs, ex '32, who is now in Stamford. Mary Kathryn Castle Steinway, '42, is living in Cambridge while husband, Fritz, is studying at Har- vard. In and out last month were Betty Dirickson, '41, home for a few days from Texas University, and Joan Bryan, '43, who flew in for a weekend from Wellesley. Margot Lockwood, '41, commutes between her job with International Business Machines in Wichita and Tulsa. Joan Kennedy, '43, was recently in St. Louis for the wedding of a Smith class-mate, but she could not make it all the way home. Alice Jeanne Jones, '40, is home from Long Beach for the wedding of Corrine Lowe. During spring vacation, Helen Haddock, '42, who is study- ing at Columbia, is planning a boat trip to Nassau. Joan Kennedy, '43, will return to Tulsa from Smith, and Joanne Splane, '45, will be home from Pine Manor. Joan Bryan, '43, will return from Wellesley. THIS AND THAT Mary Veasey Leach, '24, better known as The Story Lady was pictured in the February issue of the Junior League Maga- zine surrounded by a group of her young listeners. As well as being a story-teller Mary also spends many hours with a correspondence of some 200 letters a month. These go to children who are ill all over the United States and each letter is a personal message for the child. Names of new members for the Chuckle Club, as it is called, are received through the newspapers and through sick children who have received Mary's letters and have told their friends who are ill of the club. Mariam Parrish Baird, '28, is now at home in her new apartment, and as her own decorator has done a wonderful job. Ruthie Crosbie Warren, ex '30, helped paint some of the furnitureg the black laquer dining room table with the gold leaf border is a stunning example of her artistic talent. Pictures of several Holland Hall alumnae appeared in the Tulsa World for Sunday, March 16. They are now students at the University of Tulsa and they are shown in various school activities. Garalene Vandever, '45, is shown just leaving class while Eleanor Ann Weatherby, ex '43, is pictured practic- ing archery.

LETTER FROM MARY ALMA PORTER, '46, TO THE EDITOR OF MISS HOLLAND HALL fWritten from Connecticut Collegel Dear Woody: College life is progressing at its usual rapid pace, and I am staggering along at my usual haggard pace. For, my in- nocent one, subjects such as sociology and classical literature do tend to make one stagger. I read the usual catalogues, and had visions of myself as a typical Connecticut College girl, living in luxury, attending classes when I could work them into my social calendar, and completely surrounded by Yale men. Ah, the imagination of children and the mentally de- ficientl With all teasing aside, Woody, college life is wonderful. There are such evils as eight o'clock classes and impromptu visits to the dean's ofiice, but these trifling incidents are more than balanced by the brighter side of college life. I won't use the Chamber of Commerce speech, which goes into detailed descriptions of Connecticut's scenery, because from your two years at Holland Hall, you've learned that that isn't important in reality. The things that make Connecticut so wonderful are the faculty, who take a personal interest in you, the girls, and the work, which is in itself interesting. Connecticut has these three things, and in my estimation, is unbeatable. I har- bour the hope of bringing you back up here with me next September, and thus it is only fair to tell you that the work is HARD. The first three months here I felt more like kinder- garten material than a college student, and it's a rather dis- 21 couraging feeling, but it's worth it all. After mid-year exams things seem to right themselves? you no longer feel like a lowly freshman, but are accustomed to the change, can start in to work with somewhat of a business like air instead of that frantic feeling which usually prompts you to reach for an aspirin instead of a book. I know you aren't interested in such superficial items as food and men, but-just in case-both the food and the social life are wonderful. I went skiing in Vermont during the much.needecl vacation after exams, and escaped with only a sprained ankle, which is quite good for an Oklahoman on skis. It's fascinating to see just how entangled one can get. I'11 see you spring vacation. Love, Mary Alma ALUMNAE DIRECTORY p fContinued from last issue!

Tommy knew that the rabbit had not been bought during the shopping tour and he was afraid that in the excitement of buying clothes it had been forgotten. At last Jimmy came home and Tommy saw that he carried several large packages. But Jimmy unconcernedly put the packages in a closet. Tommy now practically knew that the rabbit had been forgotten after all. However, he thought of how much had already been done for him and in comparison how un- important the rabbit really was. The thoughtful little Tommy resigned himself and decided that it was probably better that he shouldn't have the rabbit anyway. After a dinner such as Tommy could never have imagined possible, they went to the living room, where Jimmy and Mary kept Tommy so well entertained that before he knew it, the time came for him to go to bed. But first, he had a wonderful warm bath and jimmy had scrubbed him spotless. Then Mary and Jimmy took him to the room where he was to sleep. It was a room which any boy would loveg there were white boats sailing on the blue wallpaper and on the desk by a window was a delicately carved ship. Then he noticed something on the table beside the bed and ran over to it. It was the rabbit! It hadn't been forgotten after all. Picking it up carefully, he sat on the side of the bed and just looked at his gift. It is the most wonderful chocolate rabbit ever made, thought Tommy. And this is the most wonderful thing that could happen-to have new clothes, not hand-me-downs, and in addition to get something one didn't really have to have. He knew he would always remember this particular Easter.
