To create more interest in the Sunshine committees, a change was made in the way the work was to be carried out this year. Each committee elected its own officers and held its own in- dividual parties at one of the committee committee member ' s held its homes, first at Miss Cage ' s home. Well, that ' s enough for one day; guess I ' ll pull down my blind and put mawself to bed. Gee, what a grand day, a fine example of Indian Summer. Dorothy Roose, a Each party t freshman, visited me today and told me all about the Sunshine formal initiation which was held in the Sunken Gardens at Memorial Park, All the girls marched single file down into the Sunken Gardens where they formed a friendship circle and bui. ' i a friendship fire. The freshmen were all given smpll canales which were lighted by larg- er ou3s. The girls then marched up the steps single file with their lighted candles as taps was played by Nancy Erehart. The initiates were told to take their candles home and to put them in their win- dows on Christmas, Nev; Years, and Easter. The officers and Miss Cage were in charge of the initiation. Good grief, what do you think this is? Waking me up from a perfectly scrumptious dream! Ho, hum, guess I ' ll have to see what it is all about. Am I seeing things? If that isn ' t Sadie Thompson, I ' ll eat my drapes. And look, there ' s Mae West and Shanghai Lil. Say, am I still dreaming, or what? Pinch, pinch, guess I ' m ais?skc» Scratch, scratch, why it ' s the Sun- shine bov ery party, and here I am with a ring-side seat. Here comes Betty Hoke and Marie Coy as two apache dancers, both chewing gum as if they were being paid for it. Dancing formed the entertainment for the evening and apples were served as refreshments. The first meeting of the year was held in the early part of Dec- ember, in the auditorium, under the auspices of the Music Committee, The meeting was in the form of a mock wedding. What is today? December 19th, Oh dear, how time does fly. Where have I seen those faces before? Surely not in high school. Oh yes, they ' re the Girl Reserves from all over the city who are colla- borating with the Sunshine girls in putting on their annual vesper service.

Forme r- %m ly my bookcases wer,e filled §d with all different types of music and I was known as Mrs. Bran- yan T s room. But later Mrs. Branyan moved her room down to first floor in 103 and I was left vacant and feeling very lonesome with my bookshelves vacant, and my old friend, the piano, down on first floor. Before long Mr. Scudder in- formed Miss Cage that I was to be given to the Sunshine girls and did that put me up among the clouds! So from then on I was known as the Sunshine room. Personally, I think I am the prettiest room in the building. My background is cream. On two sides of my walls are seats facing each other; they were made by Jim Last year, Catherine Row, the Sun- shine president, covered my cush- ions with lavender chintz. Under- neath my windows is a davenport with just lots and lots of pillows on it. Thrown across the back of it is a large knitted cover which was presented to my mater, the Sun- shine Society, by Mrs. Beaubien, who had originally made it for her daughter, Cecilia, a Sunshine girl who had died on the day of her graduation. On my walls is a picture , The Souls Awakening, presented to mater, by Miss Moore, Also the Spring Song, given by Mrs, Trov- inger in. memory of her daughter, Mary Catherine, Opposite my daven- port is a vanity, to which many of the girls come and powder their noses before going to their next class. Then too, I am a favorite place for girls to come and mend their hose, as several years ago the Needlework guild presented the Sunshine Society with a mending kit to be placed on my vanity. So you can see I am a ver y happy and cheery room. You had better come up and see me some time. Oooh, look at all the freshmen running hither and thither. To- day is the first day of school, and after coming out of my mothballs in which ' most of my possessions were placed this summer, I feel very rested and ready to begin a new term. Only thing, I will probably weep before I can learn the names and faces of all these freshmen, but then it will be something to do in my spare time. Two girls were in yesterday lamenting the fact that mater had given up the Cat and Canary, which had been under her supervision for the past year. The money was taken to pay off the debt of the rock garden. Goodness, what is all that noise J Guess I will have to look 16

The two Reddings were in yes- terday and they renarked that they were going to sing at the Salvation Army kettles, December 23, along with Virginia IIcDowell, Helen Brown, and Betty Goodale. Oh d j.r, fchri tEias ' wIll soon be here, but then that doesn ' t mean a thing to me except maybe that Jim will clean my walls and I do hope that mater sends my drapes to the dry cleaners. On December 21, a play was presented to the Sunshine society by members of the Mask and Bauble cliffib. The name of the play was The Holiday Farade. The play was in the form of a contest between all the holidays of the year. From all reports the play was a big success.

Goodness, wonder ? hat all this whispering and giggling is about? Let me think. Oh yes, I might have known. Tonight the Ei-Y boys en- tertain the Sunshine girls at a meeting in the auditorium. ' Course there will be a big crowd, as they always put on a spicy program. Don ' t tell me we are going back to the hair ribbon era. But from all appearances it is the truth. During Freshmen Y eek all Freshman girls were required t,o wear green hair ribbons so that they could be indentified. we couldn ' t indentify them green hair ribbons.) At the end of the week (As if v;ithout swim- ming party was held at the hotel. Both big and little sisters attend- ed the party. Oh yes, almost for- got, a Big and Little sister tea was held in Miss Alice Kline ' s room for the Freshman girls. A party was given for all Freshman girls February 5, at the Huntington Theatre. The picture was Little ' Vomen, by Louisa May Al- Cott. Plenty of Sunshiners walked out with tear stained faces. The Sunshine initiation for the second semester Freshmen was held February lb, with Helen Cull, the president, presiding. After initiation, the friendship ring was formed by joining hands, standing around the auditorium, and singing Blest Be The Tie That Binds . Im- mediately following there was a Valentine tea held in the library for the mothers. What are all those girls doing? It looks as if they are putting nobis Into lockers—— cnd girls lockers at that I Some are putting in packages, too. Of course, it is their peanut I , hat am I ta Iking about? Why this is Sunshine eek. Every girl drew a name, and whoevsr she drew, was her peanut Cute? I think so. Each day of the week she was to write her a note or do something for her. Sounds great. Monday xir.s ob erved as Hello 1, day with the Music and Big and Little Sister coixuttees in charge. Tuesday was courtesy day for the entire school, ' . odn.jsday was Charm or Personality day. Thursday was auditorium for the benefit of those who wanted to learn about Leader- ship. And Friday was to have been a cooperative banquet given by the Sunshiners for the Hi-Y members But due to the operetta, it woo postponed. Imagine the disappoint- ment of the girls, also the boys. Ooh, dear, I ' m so tired. And tomorrow I ' ll be awakened at six o ' clock as the annual sunrise Eas- ter service under the r.uspices of the Hi-Y and Sunshine vail be held. 18
