Jane is slowly slaughtering some poor girl who failed to say just the right thing about North Carolina while Ann H., our New Englander, and Mimi, our Texan, are having a north-south argument. Looking out the window we can barely see Mary Lou, Happy's Bitsy and the pride and joy of the skating world, as she runs to catch the bus to the Ice Palace. Patty and Ailcey are over i 47 in a corner again, discussing the Army-Navy game. We wonder if they will ever get over it. Or if we will either! One of our newcomers this year is Nancy, who is always ready to put up a good argument whenever politics come up in history class. The eighth grade has also gone international this year. We thank France and Portugal for their wonderful contributions, Fanchon and Manuela. One of the nicest among our new members is Ann Williams who helps greatly to enliven the boarding department. Edith, our captain, is at the mark chart, marking away happily, while Donna is consider- ing whether or not she should take a peek. As we look around, we see a mob of girls clustered around Pat's desk. It's probably a new picture

shushcs are trying to sell popcorn. But our attention is averted by a small car coming into the ring. To our astonishment out pop the class clowns, Costy, Grifhe, Charlotte, Leith, Rachel, and Chen, who succeeded in driving the car miraculously. We decide to get a little fresh air, and making our exit from the tent, we see our boarders, Harriott, Jessie, and Emily forlornly draped on the bleachers catching up on the sleep they lose every night. Proceeding to the side shows, We first encounter a startling sight, Penny and Jackie, the competent snake-charn1- ers, charming the midshipmen. Tearing our- selves away, We see a frantic Peggy trying to calm Angela showing off het newly acquired Swiss yodel. We now turn back to the main tent where Phyllis and Wedad are roller skating around the ring. Looks as if they'd do better on ice skates! And glancing up whom do We see but Miss Dunbracco sitting calmly on the trapeze while munching peanuts, and surveying us all with the calm patience we so appreciate. , 1 W ,df 6,6 ftgiylfefop 02+ Qgjjf , as gpg, sf' ay, airs?

of some football hero. By the way, you never fail to see Dorothy talking on the phone every free period. Wonder whom she's talking to? Lucy and Betsy Wetherill are comparing English notes whilejordan is puzzling over some square roots. We are still trying to figure out how Henrietta always has a definition for Miss Gallic's fancy words in English. Do you suppose that the fact that she -is now studying the dictionary could be the answer? And, speaking of students, Martin is really following in her sister's footsteps. Well-here's Yvonne, one of our jolliest mem- bers. There go Captain Patterson and Manager Helsing of the eighth grade hockey team, while following close at their heels are Judy and Freddie who share top honors in the riding class. Salt JB... ,.Qa., .A Nell is off for Scouts where she has achieved many merits lately, and Frankie is on her way to dancing where she has greatly improved her leaps this year. Cary, groaning as she goes, is right behind her. She still aches from the last dance class. If you need a good authority on dogs, go to Barbara Manning, and for information about Van, go to Jackie. We'll never get over Mar- bury's bangs, although we must admit they're cute. There go Betsy Miller and Louise Perry. They must get home quickly to prepare for the Shippen's dance. Louise Clarke is lots of fun to have around. Finally, the eighth grade wishes to express appreciation and gratitude to Janet, our presi- dent, who has led us so well throughout the year. 4sf
