Second Form Peace AND QUIET are completely hanished at the lunch hour in Miss Ethel's room, for it is at this time that we, the Second Form, are turned loose to catch up on the latest events ofthe day. Over in a corner in the midst of all this turmoil you might iind somebody actually studying. Looking over the shoul- der of this phenomenon, you wonder how long screwy has been spelled with a Upon closer inspection you might tind the explanationffHelen Parker Willard writing a composition. In another corner you would find a group discussing the latest Bob Hope show. Barbara Heine is having laughing-Fits over a joke that Jerry Colonna put over last night, while Juan Williamson is calling Brenda with startling accuracy. One, two, three, kick! And we lind Anna-Marie Zoller leading a vigorous conga line to the terror of innocent hystanders who are in con- stant danger of being completely swept away in the shullle. Although we are a fun-loving group we can also see the serious side of school life. Among us are high scholastic leaders. We can always count on Betty King, our competent president and French expert, to make honor rank. Jeannette Palmer purrs contentedly over a good mark, and tres petite Marjorie Rhodes can show the older girls a thing or two in algebra class, Susie Greene is kept very busy taking care of and telling about her new halwy sister, but she always has time to be inter- ested in everyone else.

absolutes tied in a bag. Parlez-vous francais? Neither do we, but Colette Streit seems to be a veritable sesquipedalian fabricator of the language. The latest to enter our corner was Ruth Ann Harris, who already knows her way around like a veteran. Explaining some gaps in our class picture. Jean O'Brien and Carolyn Logan were absent when it was taken, but that doesn't mean that our golden-haired Irish songstress and our win-your-heart Army brat don't play a big part in our life. Biggest scoop of the year! We mean of course that story of our present of a defense bond to the teachers. We started the ball roll- ing, and it didn't stop until the whole school was buying bonds. We went 'way over our Community Chest quota, and still finished before the rest ofthe school had started, With our bond, Red Cross service, bandage-rolling society, and sweater knitting, how can the U.S. fail to win the war? This is your reporter signing off with this assurancefffwhatever future project Holton- Arms may undertake, the whole Third Form will be right in there pitching! - b . Q uR..in.lMM.

The whole school is talking about amazing Ellen Tan, who has astounded all of us by her scholastic record and school spirit. Iowa sent us our lone boarder, Jackie Herring, and we say many thanks. Her room is a haven for Second Formers. Two newcomers are Rita Murray, the girl who's always smiling, and Mary Louise Snyder, who can hardly wait each week for the Tuesday and Thursday jaunts to the big gym. Mary Alice Stoddard takes apart insects and frogs in biology with a courage none of us can equal. Joan Briggs is our serious threat to Bette Davis. Remem- ber her as the terrified pickaninny in the Dra- matic Club plays? Jean Hudson, with her charming friendliness, is always pleasant to be around. She never utters a sentence which doesn't contain the beloved word Florida Everyone was envious of Cadzie Reed for the A she got in Latin the very first month. She combines efficient studying with active play. A bright red head flying upstairs in 1119 every morning about one minute to nine is attractive Cornelia Langer. She can settle any argument with a quiet but determined stamp of her foot. Better late than never is how we feel about the long-awaited Sarel Gillespie. Jean Allwine and Sally Patterson are our stalwart captains, and by means of those nasty little blue books and assorted Veni, vidi, vicif frowns they manage to keep us in line most of the time. You can readily see from this account that the Second Form room is just one big nineteen-ring circus. X Ca 1 lnomlnlnuw
