In athletics she is the wonder and delight of the school. In the Long Island Interscholastic Debating Association she walked off with the championship in individual debating. Kew-Forest and the senior class will miss her sorely. Lucky Smith! 11 a x 1

THE BLOTTER . Paper, Noise and More ol? llt EADY! Aim! Fire! you say to yourself as you aim for the waste basket in study hall for classroomj. Your wad of paper lands with a gentle plop just in front of the basket, revealing to the amusement of those around you that your aim was not so good as you had thought it was. Therefore, you rise fromgyour chair with a heavy sigh in order 'tor retrieve that bothersome wad, accidentally knocking all your books to the floor as you pass. You start back to your seat once the paper is safely deposited, and chance to stumble over someone's feet, unconf sciously blocking traffic in the aisle. Immediately everyone looks up, ever ready for some excitement to relieve the monotony of the everyday routine. There is a dead silence as you slide into your chair, thanking heaven that thats over! The student who does a thing like this does not intentionally upset the attempts at concentrated study of the students around him, but does it, perhaps, through a momentary thoughtlessness. The ref sult is a disturbance for which he is wholly to blame. Probably his idea was that if he threw the paper into the basket from his seat, he would cause less disf turbance than by getting up to carry it there. Granted. But if he had kept it with him until the end of the period, and then thrown it away, would it not have been better still? Such occurrences have been a matter for discussion for some time now, and recently a few helpful rules have been evolved in the hope that the students will cooperate by observing them, thus eliminating to a large extent, all noise and confusion from study hall . Cormumemieeimeint Program Prepared Plans are completed and rehearsals are in progress for the Commencement of the Class of 1931, to be held in the Church' infthefGardens, June 5. The speakers will be Julius S., Bixler, Ph.D., of Smith College, and Nancy Kershaw ,Virginia Chalmers, and Laurose SchulzefBerge, members of the class. The organ and violin will furnish accompaniment for Veni Creator, by Gounod and the Recitaf tive and Aria of Xerxes by Handel, which will be sung by High School pupils and Miss Thomas. The school is grateful to the members of the ChurchfinfthefGardens, who, for several years, have made possible such beautiful surroundings for our Comf mencement program. It is a matter of regret, obviously, that room for guests is necessarily limited.

THE BLOTTER SANFORD CLOSE .isandyu He stands aloof, looking down upon the throng. Philanthropy Chairman, '31 Football, '29 Tennis, '30, '31 OUR mental picture of Sandy is of someone Wandering around the school in a very preoccupied manner-per- haps thinking of some member of the Kew-Forest alumnae. But despite this preoccupation, he accomplishes a great deal of work. This year he has devoted much of his time very successfully to philanthropy. He took up the work in that quiet way of his and carried it out so efficiently that we cannot help visualizing Sandy in later life as doing the same job on a big scale, as did Mr. Hoover in the late war. UAI'ty 'lN6Tf.S ARTHUR COLLINS Wiliams My sentence is for open war. BLOTTER Board, '27, '28, '29, '30, '31 Business Manager BLOTTER, '29, '30, '31 Basketball, '29 Baseball, '28, '29, '30 Soccer, '28 Debating, '30, '31 Captain Debating, '31 Tennis, '29, '30, '31 Dramatics, '29 ARTHUR is the future business manager of the nation as is shown by his efficient management of the BLOTTER. He has abiilty to Work fwhen he feels like ity, especially in debating. The way he makes debaters opposing him feel just like two particularly small pennies, by casting a sardonic grin and a few sarcastic remarks at them, is something to rejoice over. This, so Arthur fondly believes, is due to the fact that he is very hardhearted. It's just the principle of the thing with Arthur. 12 4' u
