They have become dear a11d close to us as memories of the busy, happy days that we are leaving behind, of the friendships we have made, of lessons learned by experience: and, above all, of tl1e School that has been a home to us, that has given us so much to live up to. But Age Bmlrlho won't be just a memory. It will stay close to us when we go out into the world-our life motto. We have completed a wonderful a11d vital part of our lives, but we will not stop here. For with memories of Low and Heywood behind us as our inspiration, We will press on-we will climb higher and higher, Whatever field of Work we choose. W 'Kf 41' 'II 'll' TO MISS ROPER We cannot say farewell to our beloved school without recognition of its guiding personality, whose influence must be felt through all our lives. Miss Roper has taught us the ways of honor and sportsmanship, and has inspired in us the ideals of her wonderful school. May we live up to them! IDF ilk if ik lk The Halo Board wishes to express its deep appreciation of the splendid way in which the school has cooperated this year in writing for the Halo. As the Yearbook goes to press, we are receiving so much good material, that we find it hard to choose! To Miss Chase a11d Miss Hoogs, who have helped us so unfailingly with our magazine, we offer our sincerest thanks. May good luck and success go with next year's Halo Board. 6 r THE HALO ELIZIXBETH LEE POPE Bloomfield Hills, Mich. 1923-1928 Plays, '2-L.

Such a vessel as the people had never seen before. It shone in the sunshine, dazzling the superstitious watchers on the shore i11to a frenzy. Tl1e entire boat was silver, except for a green Hag at tl1e top. Was this-no-but, could this be tl1e promised ship which tl1e gods were sending them? In' Zanini's house was a gold book, and in this book was a prophecy, said to have been written by a god. ..... One day, into your harbor will sail a silver ship with a green flag, ma1111ed by a reliable and trustworthy crew. This boat will bring a cargo so rich that you will not recognize its full worth at first. But the ship itself will not stay with you. It will continue its journey, the crew separating to build other fine vessels. On the bow the name will be printed i11 simple letters-'1928.' KITTY TXTARTIN, '29. THE REW ARD fWith apologies io Kiplmgj Wl181l the last of this year approaches a11d the Seniors have had their day, When they have received their honors, and each l1as had a say, They shall play, and faith they shall 11eed it,-play hard for a mo11th or two Till all of a sudden they'll wonder- Just what am I going to do? Oh, some who are wise leave for college-they shall go forth to conquer anew, And splash into many a subject, and take up a sport or two, They shall find-all these, our seniors-new friends, new work, and fun, They will show, let us hope, to Low-Heywood, that it's a straight race they have run. And we shall look on a11d praise 'em, a11d we shall not scold or blame Those who have tried, but in trying, have not attained fame, But each if she shows the training that she has gained here at Lewis, Shall prove that our old School spirit has helped her wherever she goes. 20 T II E H A L O I ELIOT DxQV.EVS 7981? Q0 21 T H E H A L o PROPHECY 5' EROY, what 's this? said I, picki11g up the morning paper the first day of my stay in N-. It says here that Miss Elizabeth L. Pope, Governor of Michigan, is in town. I must run right down to see her! Lee was looking well and seemed quite glad to see me. The first thing she said was, Have you heard the news? Blackie l1as given up professional hockey and gone to college ! I was just recovering from my amazement when the door bu1'st open, and in rushed Annette. She greeted me exuberantly, and then turned to Lee. You see, she's my social secretary, the latter explained, as Annette read Oli the lists of engagements they had for the day. As it was nearly time for luncheon, we decided to dine together, and started oii' for the nearest restaurant. On the way Lee told me that Elinor Avery was head of the daily ration of food committee in Czechoslovakia. She writes that the spoon problem there is almost as bad as it is in America. Just then a large sign caught my eye. It ran: MADAME ORYSTAL'S NEVV HAIR LOTION HSPEEDYH Guaranteed to Make Hair Grow Overnight We laughed as we thought of her struggle at school, and wondered if she had invented it practising on herself. As we entered the restaurant, who should come forward to meet, us but Dot Mayo! She was running the place, she told us. lVe always knew her skill in tixing priv and washing test tubes would amount to something. Dot told us that Ginny and Rowe were making good in a prominent New York law firm, and that Frances Taintor was travelling with Barnum and Bailey's Circus, feeding the giraites. As we were seating ourselves, in walked a brisk young saleswoman. On closer i11spectio11, we found it to be Eleanor Bennett. VVhen asked what Sl10 was selling, she informed us that she had just invented a 118W ki11d of shoe to prevent ankle spraining. She told us that she thought she'd better do something of the kind, for she had sprained hers six 22 g THE HALO times since leaving school. She told us that Madeleine was teaching kindergarten and Sunday School in her spare moments, and that Bunny was in Haiti at the time. She thought she'd soo11 be returning, as her husband had been called back to New York. I noticed at the next table a very business-like young woman who looked familiar. I looked again, and to my great surprise saw that it was Jeanne. She was reading, with a book propped up in front of l1er. I caught her attention, and she came over to talk to us. She said that she was writing plays, and greatly enjoyed it. She told us that Betty Ray had just come back, much broken in health, after twenty months of big game hunting in Africa. She was at present under the diligent care of Evie Howard, who had graduated from Johns Hopkins several months before. Jeanne also told us that Mary Lou Milligan was head of an elephant race track in Bombay. Just then in walked Betty Candee. We were all very glad to see he1'. She, it seems, was head of an establishment for antiquated ge11tle- Women. She loves her work, and never intends to get married. She told us that Sue was head mistress of a select boarding school in Sewickley, a11d that Eleanor Kirby was teaching the dead languages there. Anne Kirby was drawing cartoons for the Kalamazoo Gazette. At that, Betty declared that she must hurry off, for s11e had a sewing class for l1er old ladies in half an l1our. As soon as we had finished luncheon, we went out to the street, and who should bump into us but Mary Tyson. Although she was heavily laden with packages fChristmas presents for her brothersj, she was hurrying along at a great pace, trying to get to her studio to get in some work on her masterpiece before dark. Mary told us that she had heard that Lou was taking extensive courses in the dead languages at Oxford, and that Sally was running the Asheville School for Boys. Both Lee and I were much impressed by all we 'd heard. VVe de- cided to end this very successful day by going to hear Cecile lecture on VVhat the well-dressed lV0man will wear. SALLY JACKSON, ,28.

It is our just and greatest joy fpossibly our only joyj to have so worthy an institution as our Alma Mater, to which, si11ce we cannot take her with us, we do hereby leave our most highly cherished posses- sion, Miss McCurdy.

She scrambled over the rocks to a large clearing in the woods- one of her favorite haunts. Here she sat, her chin cupped in her tiny brown hands, a11d her large flashing black eyes-her one redeeming feature-looking hungrily towards the west as she watched the quickly changing sky. Her eyes, filled with tears today, looked like two deep, dark pools-overflowing with sorrow. It was just a year today, she murmured to herself- that I was brought back to this hateful place-to remain tl1e rest of my life-as all my people have done before-for centuries and centuries back. Oh, why did my brother take me away to America, she sobbed- when he knew I would have to come back here? Over there she had been free in those glorious days of traveling, and had loved the noise and the pretty clothes the wome11 wore.-And now-but her thoughts were rudely broken by her sobs. She struggled bravely to keep the tears back, which persisted in running faster Hlld faster down her sad, little brown face, leaving two long, dirty smudges on her cheeks. Barefooted, a11d with her dull brown tunic accentuating the darkness of her face, she was a pitiful sight. Suddenly she Hung her head up and looked at the sky. It seemed to be on fire-such a clear, bright color-which challenged her to gaiety again. A smile slowly broke across l1er lips-as l1er thoughts again journeyed far away. She was a beautiful lady 11ow, with ever Hlld ever so many things. No ugly hut to brush and put i11 order, and 110 despised cooking to do. Now smiling at someone-now talking with friends, a11d best of all-gliding along in a splendid automobile, sounding like the soft purring of a cat. And, as the shadows raced across Tosca's face, it seemed as though her thoughts were racing with them. The soft light had grown dull, but Tosca seemed of another world. Suddenly there sounded a harsh voice, which seemed to jar the still- ness of the tropics. The girl jumped quickly to her feet, taken aback, not understanding-then- 5 Oh, yes-she knew now.

Like them, it is contagious, unlike them, it may be cast off or kept forever. Some people are immune, but the person who cannot catch a laugh from you, cannot catch a cold from you. It is the same principle! A laugh is the bane of the grouch, the camouflage of a villain, the redemption of a rascal, and the trademark of a child. We should really laugh often. This matter of laughter is a serious thing. In the world the amount of grunts and brayings overwhelms the amount of laughs. These laughs and grunts are scattered about, a11d we meet them con- tinually. The delightful part is that we can wade through a laugh and come out on the other side refreshed, the unpleasant part, that when we meet a grunt, we stumble over it. How much easier it is to laugh! So- HI12l1lgll, and the w01'ld laughs with you.

GETTING UP BEGIN to realize who 31111 where I am when I hear a clop, clop, clop, down the back hall stairs from tl1e third floor, where is located Daddy's den of solitude. I then have a feeling of the bottom dropping out of everything, and a vision of the trials and tribulations al1ead flash through my brain: getting into a bath, brushing my teeth with Listerine tooth pasteg Dickie coming in, and my having to t1'y to see my way to the door with soap in my eyes, Dickie Wanting to blush his teef g looking round for his tooth brush, a11d finding Blarney chewing it to fragments, Washing my neck while attempting to keep my hair dry, getting into cold clothes, combing and pigging my hair, eating breakfast, and last, hurrying to get off to school. Wliile I'm thinking this, Daddy makes his way to my door and says, Get up, you long-legged giraffe, or You tousle-headed bunion, according to which portion he looks at first. He then goes down to shake the furnace, while I'm in dread lest each shake should be the last. Finally, I hear him 011 the first flight of stairs, and I fiy to the bathtub faucet a11d begi11 the dreadful period before getting off to school.

I don 't see how Mistress can blame me for knocking her funny little table in the living room. I didn't mean to, but how was I goi11g to reach that ball if I didn't go under the crazy thing? But, O, boy, what a crash it made! Master's mad at me, too, just because I got a little dirt on those white knickers of his when I tried to make him play. I even brought back the stick to him, but that made matters worse. Even Cook doesn't like me since I pretended that the package of meat, which the grocery boy left on our back porch, was that cock-eyed, snub nosed Pekinese Belinda that lives next door. That reminds me-I will go over and have a little chat with her. Pekinese dogs are mighty funny looking, and great fun to tease.-Well, if there isn't one of those moles tearing up the lawn which the Master was talking about the other day! He told the gardener to set out a trap, but now he won't have to. I'll just dig it up for him. Jumping grasshoppers! I thought I had him that time! He sure can go fast, and yet they say that he hasntt any eyes. Oh, boy! Here comes the Master. Maybe he would like me to go for a walk with him. He has a stick. Things don't look so good. Guess I had better beat it over to Belinda's back porch. I know of a hole just big enough for me. Just in time! What a close shave! And look at all the beetles to play With. I suppose I shall have to amuse myself with them until I think it's safe to go home. Oh, hello, Belinda. Let's have a nice confab. Rows GREENwooD, '28.

She stood in front of the long mirror, twisting and turning so as to set the fluffy skirt swirling softly about her. She had bought it 011 l1er day out last Week. The shop had been about to close at five o'clock, and Nora had already tried on all the dresses of every style and color in vain. Suddenly she caught sight of this one, which had slipped from its nook i11to a quiet pool of color on the floor. Of course it fitted her perfectly. Nora was cozily plump, with curly black hair, big blue eyes, and a very sweet tooth fwhich has nothing to do with the matter, except that her missus had to hide the candy under a pile of old sweaters, as Nora didn't believe in strengthening her character by resisting temptationj. No one ever heard of getting a new dress without a hat to match or, for that matter, without shoes, too. Nora's shoes were remarkably pretty ones-stilf and shiny, with round toes and high heels. They were so pretty, in fact, that Nora didn't mi11d the fact that after she wore them, she had to spend the next day in bedroom slippers to ease the pain they had caused. For what would you expect, if you get size three shoes when you should have four and a half? As I have already said, Nora succumbed readily to temptation. Very foolishly she had spent her last dollars on a splendid new coat lined with tan silk, and adorned with an absurd little bow in back, whose ends danced merrily in the breeze. Of course it was beautiful, and not very expensive either. But last year's coat, from its insignificant hook in the remotest corner of the closet, upbraided her constantly for her infidelity and extravagance. You have probably guessed already that there must have been some reason for the emptying of Nora's purse. Well, you are quite right. There were two excellent reasons-one was May-Day, and one was John. Every May-Day for the past three years, Nora had become re- engaged to John. You see, she was still very young, and did not want to tie herself up yet,-even to as nice a young man as John. He really was nice, although he did make Nora forget all about washing the dishes and turning down the beds when he came on Thursday evenings. For what do such trivialities mean to lovers? i i if it if It was a warm, sunny morning, and as Nora lovingly laid her dress on the bed, and ran her lingers through its soft folds, she thought of 39 THE HALO the day of the Soap Factory's picnic, when she had first met John. She and Aggie had gone together with their lunch of sandwiches and cake, wrapped neatly in a sheet of wax paper. They were sitting under a tree, feeling rather lonely and out of it, when a young man suddenly appeared before them, and, with a prepossessing smile, invited himself to join them. Nora fell promptly in love. As they had rested on the cool grass, sipping the sickly sweet lemonade and crunching ham sandwiches, she had been aware of the beauty of the sun, the trees, the sky, and the fiat, green meadow. All nature seemed so alive illld filled with a happy holiday spirit, soothing to her tense nerves. The newcomer, too, had caused her to forget her usual self-consciousness, with his easy, friendly ways. That had been the beginning-three years ago. Now he would soon come to call for her, perhaps with a bunch of pansies, that brought out the glossy black of her hair, and the blue of her eyes. The ringing of the back-door bell cut short her reminiscences. Quickly she slipped on her dress and met her lover at the door. They boarded a bus bound for the country, and climbed up the perilously narrow, spiral steps to the top, where they were soon settled in the front bench. The massive, perspiring laborer opposite was clearly above such emotions as love. The prim old maid in black taffeta and feathers wore a permanently shocked and indignant face- she thought their conduct preposterous! Smothered snickers issued from the girls on the back seat. The conductor, as he took their fares, remarked with a sly wink of his eye, You're a real nice gal, missy, and if you don it get a husband this year, you 'll get one next! John squeezed her arm ever so slightly, and the girls on the back seat giggled audibly. DORIS RANSOIIKJFF, '29, WAITING OW long now had she been waiting for him? The time seemed endless. Woiild he never, never, come? Here she was, alone, waiting-watching for him. Her large brown eyes glanced fur- tively here-there. Wl1e1'e was he? Many others were also waiting for him. Woilld he pass her by, without even a hopeful glance, and choose some other? No, he must not! Here he came at last. How tall! How handsome! He walked towards her, whispering softly in her ear, 'tAre you alone? With beating heart she answered, Yes Ah, she had Won. At last! He had picked her out of the waiting throng, and rewarded her l .l l s seat in the restaur-int. mtl he a t ' C ' FRANCES TAINTOR, '28. 40 THE HALO SPANISH EXHIBITION AT THE METROPOLITAN REQUENTLY when you go to an exhibition of paintings, Spanish or otherwise, you get so confused by the number of canvases that your memory becomes a perfect blank, it is impossible to remember whether you saw The Horse Fair by Bonheur, or The Mona Lisa by Leonardo. Not so, however, with the Spanish exhibit we visited at the Metropolitan. There were sixty-seven pictures in all, dating from El Greco to Goya. Among this priceless collection there was one picture that at- tracted me more than the rest. In fact, when I first saw it, I was rather stunned, so real and' pathetic it seemed. This was The Repentant Peter by El Greco. It is a most beautiful painting. Not extremely la1'ge, and perhaps not very famous, but pleading and humble. Peter is dressed in a cold green and yellow robe. His attitude is one of tremendous repentance. His eyes are cast heavenward in a pleading manner, beseeching Jesus to forgive him. Even his hands, clasped in devotion, signify pardon and a blessing. The eyes, however, are the medium by which your attention is drawn and held. Tearful eyes, loving eyes, eyes that failed their master only once, and are to repent for it all the rest of their days. It seems to me that El Greco must have once seen a man begging for repentance, so wonderful is this masterpiece. It is a hopeless man, yet a hopeful one-pleading with the Almighty. Peter-they called him Fisher of men. ' JEANNE KANN, '28. SOLITUDE Alone, I walked upon the sand- A fragile shell within my hand. Alone, I gazed at the blue sea, The11 came a rush of memory. With spirit bent and broken well, 'How much I now was like that sl1ell! In vain, I brushed tl1e tears away, They would not go-they must not stay. Weak and delicate like the shell, Down on my knees with sobs, I fell, - Solitude is a dreadful thing, Though one be peasant, or one be ki11g.

But VVinter's life was sad from the start- And sad to tl1e end-poor thing! Winter died of a broken heart, The day that we greeted Spring. SHIRLEY GODWIN, '30, CAP'N BILL AP'N BILL was a hoary old feller. He had a lean, brown face with a lo11g red nose and piercing blue eyes. His salty gray beard was as sharp a11d bristly as the quills of a porcupine, a11d his thin, pale mouth was 'most as wide as his lined face. He had but two companions. One was a small black and white terrier with hair almost as bristly as his master's beard, and the other was a pipe-a long-stemmed pipe, much the worse for the hard wear it received. The Uap'n had had that pipe since he was a boy, and 'tis true he was far from tl1at now, having sailed tl1e seas for all of sixty years! He seldom sailed nowadays as he was badly crippled by the rhumatiz. Then too, the Julie had been at the bottom of the bay these past twelve years. Nevertheless, the Cap'n was much sought-after in his town. His fables were far superior to those told by the younger seamen! More- over, he had more curios in his small abode tha11 any of his confeder- ates,-curios that had been brought from the Orient by his father and grandfather before him, priceless Indian shawls, and little sandalwood boxes. Not a day passed but the Cap'n examined each of his treasures, 42 THE HALO oh, so carefully, dusted them, and returned them to their places. Some- times he would sit for hours at a time before the blue-green fiames of his fire,-smoking his pipe and dreaming of the days of his youth. Occasionally he would lean down to pat the head of his little terrier who lay before him on the hearth. Often Cap'n Bill would climb a rickety little ladder that led to the little square cupola on the roof, alld view the weather. Sometimes, too, he would sit out on the front stoop, visiting with the friendly passers-by who stopped to question him. But this was not often, for the dampness of the salt air made his legs ache painfully, and he would be forced to spend the following days in bed. He was a fine old man, with a manner that was at once kindly and stern. In his youth the Cap'n had caused many a feminine heart to beat faster at his presence, and now he was the favorite of the children. They flocked about him, anxious to hear his thrilling stories of the sea,-of the gales in which the Julie had floundered about, with more than one narrow escape, until at last she had become waterlogged and sunk. Each time he told a tale it became a bit more thrilling than when previously related, until the story of the Julie in the squall became the struggle of the Julie in a great norlwester. But still Oap'n Bill's young followers Hooked to him, and his stories were a never- ending antidote for thwarted ambitions and runaway attempts to sail- pirates on the high-seas! ANNETTE S.

IWARY ROBY KING, '31, SANDRA'S HAPPINESS ANDRA WRIGHT had spent the last six of her twenty-two years in a futile pursuit of happiness. All her friends thought her the luckiest girl in America. Sandra knew that she ought to be, but she wasn't. One night during the Christmas season of 1924, an utterly devas- tating debutante made her bow to New York society. It was not her golden hair, shaped to her head in a perfect Antoinette wave, nor eve11 her lovely, delicate features, which caused so much comment among both the older and younger people. It was her eyes. Beautiful they were-of so deep a blue that they looked purple. And they seemed to sparkle with joy a11d excitement. As Sandra passed the stag li11e, a young man looked at her intently. Then a curious expression crossed his face. He made his way across the room to her. May I cut? Wayne Sidney led her gracefully into the intricate steps of the tango. Miss Wright, I know you don't re- member me, but we met two years ago in New Haven, and- I do remember you, I do ! Sandra interrupted. And you told me I wasn't happy. It was my first prom and I thought, until it was over, that nothing could be more wonderful. But at the end I knew I hadn't enjoyed it as I should have. 44 THE HALO At this prolonged outburst, her partner did not show the asto11isl1- ment which Sandra expected. He said simply, You aren't happy now, either. Although Sandra heartily denied this statement, she knew in her heart that Wayne was right. Her whole life had been a series of dis- appointments. As a little child a much lo11ged-for doll had been given to her by a fond uncle. However, as soon as she possessed it, the doll 's hair seemed less soft and curly, and she found a little flaw in its cheek. In the same way a trip to Europe was a complete failure. She had been taken from school, to the i11te11se e11vy of her companions, for the voyage with her mother and aunt. She left, a school-girl, with her curly hair hanging in ringlets to her shoulders. When she returned, two years later, her hair was closely shingled and waved. Her clear skin bore traces of rouge, and her mouth, of lip-stick. It was just after this trip that she met Wayne, who was a student at Yale. Now she was meeting him again at her own coming-out party. And for the second time his words, You aren't happy, made a deep impression. During the years succeeding her debut, Sandra was constantly seeking new entertainment. She went from man to man, being loved, but never loving. She achieved the reputation of being impossible to secure, cold, distant. This Ollly made her more desirable. The name of Sandra Wright became well-known at night-clubs, and eve11 at cer- tain exclusive Hspeak-easies. 8 K Ik Ili ll' Miss Sandra, Mr. Sidney is i11 the library, announced a 11eat maid. Tell him I'll be down i11 a jitfy, Marie. She drew a white velvet wrap over her evening dress. As she looked into the long, oval mirror, she sighed deeply. Wayne had asked her to marry him just that after- noon. Tonight she had to tell him that she couldn't do it. She dreaded the ordeal, for Sandra couldn't bear to hurt anyonets feelings, and she realized that Wayne loved her deeply. Sandra, you darling! Wayne whispered, taking her hands, and drawlng her to him. She held back and withdrew her hands, laughing in a forced manner. Where are we going? Let's leave right awayf' Come then, replied Wayne, hurt, I have a surprise. Sandra showed little interest. His surprise was probably some 11eW club, they were all alike anyway. She talked gaily about trivial matters, not noticing where the taxi was going. The driver stopped at Ninth Street. Here you are, Sir. 45 THE HALO Wayne lcd her through a gloomy building, and out onto a long dock. She turned to him. Wayne, are we going in a boat? What fun! Why, I'm really excited! The craft was a small motor boat, with a very powerful engine. Wayne and Sandra were the only occu- pants, excepting the chauifeur. The moon this Julie night was 11ot pale and cold. It was on fire- a great globe of glowing red. The sky, in sharp contrast, was a deep, dark blue. Not a star broke its smooth depths, for the night was still young. Sandra took a cigarette from her bag. After she had lighted it, she playfully held the lighter up to Wayne's face for him to blow it out. She stopped suddenly as she perceived that his eyes were strained, and his face almost haggard. Wayne, Wayne, what is the matter? You're 11ot ill? No, I'm not sick. Would that it were only that! I've brought you out here because it will be my last night with you. He paused, fighting for control of his voice. But I don't understand. Sandra's pride was hurt, now, al- though a little while ago she had had no desire to see him again. ' 'I want to tell you frankly what has happened, continued Wayne, again in control of himself. My father has just found today that he is penniless, and that my money also is completely dissipated. The business has not been successful for the last year, and he never told me. Of course you can't marry me 11ow. We should have to begin at the very bottom. Wayne said this last sentence with a rising inflection, as if he thought that by some miracle of miracles she would deny it. No, you are right, I can't. I-I guess I don't know how to be a poor-I mean, not a wealthy man's wife. No, Wayne couldn't picture Sandra without her gorgeous clothes, expensive perfume, and her maid. Even his great love couldn't make up for these things to her. They sat in complete silence on tl1e way back to the pier. The putt- putt of the engine and the occasional hiss of a burning cigarette stub as it touched the water were the only nearby sounds. When they had docked, Wayne hailed a cab and helped Sandra into it. He sat at almost the opposite end of the seat. At her apart- ment he took her to the door, and said good-night, casually, it seemed to Sandra. She didn 't even know that there were tears in his eyes as he walked down the street towards his own apartment, not far distant. Sandra dragged her feet up the one flight of stairs to her bedroom. She dropped her wrap on the floor, and threw herself upon the bed. She lay there-not crying-thinking. Even in her selfishness she re- alized how deeply Wayne loved her. Out of this maze of conflicting 46 THE HALO emotions, one idea became clear. She would marry Wayne. In all her life Sandra had never done a single self-sacriiieing deed. Suddenly a wave of joy swept her whole being. Why, she said softly, not even knowing that she spoke, Hlld then, incredulously, I'm happy. I believe,-I lmouf-I love him!

Some of us went to Greenwich to hear a concert give11 by the French composer, Maurice Ravel, in the High School Buildi11g. We went in a big bus and enjoyed ourselves immensely. Thursday, March 1. Those of us who knew Miss Durham from last year were very glad to welcome her this afternoon. She is coming every Thursday for a while to lecture to us upon Manners, A copy of her book will be give11 each girl. She is most interesting and charm- i11g, and I am sure the new girls already like her as well as we old O119S do. Saturday, March 3. Wykeham Rise Game. The team went up there by motor. We won. At night there was a Popular Song Party. The prize was won by Betty Collins, Eleanor Eckstein, and Mary Isom. They represented Barney Google and Sparky. Wednesday, March 7. Our second game with Rosemary was played here today. It was a thrilling light, and we won, 28-20. Saturday, March 10. Glen Eden game over here. We won 68-8. Tonight Miss Wright came to talk to us about the History of Music. She will come again several times. Her lecture was very interesting. Monday, March 12. Miss Darrin came tonight to talk about cur- rent events. As usual she was most enjoyable. Thursday, March 15. Greenwich Academy game here. It was quite exciting and we won 36-24. Saturday, March 17. The Junior Party! The gym was cleverly decorated as a Show Boat and all the Juniors wore costumes of that period. The whole idea was exceedingly well carried out. During the course of the evening Florrie gave a lovely dance, and Nicky a charming little act in which she sang Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man O' Mine. To cap the climax, we had very delicious refreshments and a marvelous orchestra. Kitty and her Juniors certainly gave us a picturesque and delightful evening-one we shall not forget. Sunday, March 18. There was a Recital this afternoon. The music pupils seem to be making rapid progress. Monday, March 19. Miss Hoogs took her History of Art class to New York to the Metropolitan this afternoon. Everyone agreed that it was a most enjoyable and interesting trip. Thursday, March 22. Faculty-Alumnae basketball game. We won. Blacks beat the Blues in a very exciting game, too. It seemed queer to be playing against our old stars-Gertrude and Emily Hatch, Haideen Henderson, Natalie Backhouse, and Marion Neilson. Friday, March 23. All this week the class basketball games have 49 THE HALO bee11 going 011. Tl1e Juniors finally won the cup after many hard- fought battles. Today we left for home! Much excitement a11d bustle around school this morni11g. Sunday, April 1. The Boarders returned today. School starts tomorrow! Tuesday, April 3. Quite a few of us went down to the Stamford Theatre this afternoon to see The Ki11g of Kings. It is a wonderful picture, a11d we were all glad of an opportunity to see it. Friday, April 6. As today is Good Friday we had 110 classes, but we11t to church at twelve. After church there was a tea i11 tl1e Brown Cottage. Saturday, April 7. Miss Wright came again tonight. Her talk was very interesting-about tl1e great musical composers. Sunday, April 8. Easter Sunday! Many in our midst celebrated by going to the Infirmary. Some ki11d of disease seems to have hit us which is carryi11g us off o11e by one. However, as tl1e disease isn't very serious we have high hopes of our unfortunate friends soon being out of the sick room. Miss Waldo returned after an absence of a number of weeks on account of illness. This 6V9llt cheers us i11 spite of Infirmary woes. Friday, April 20. This after11oo11 we all we11t to a play, Fashion, given by the Junior League at tl1e Strand Theatre. As Natalie Backhouse played one of the leading roles, we who kl19VV her were very much interested. The whole play was very amusing and enjoyable. Saturday, April 21. English VI and VII presented three very interesting o11e-act plays tonight. The program opened with a farce by Clhristopher Morley, The Rehearsal, which co11tai11ed H11 excellent cast-all stars. The char- acters were played by Sally, Cecile, Rlltll, Betty, Elinor Avery, and Frances Taintor. Tllell followed, A Fan and Two Caiicllesticksf' a delightful old- fashioned comedy. Annette is certainly a born coquette! She was aided by two young gallants, as portrayed by Evie and Eleanor Kirby. As a third 11l1II1lJC1', we were given The Rising of the Moon, - an Irish play by Lady Gregory, during which 311 atmosphere of tense- IIGSS pervaded the Gym. The stage was dark-with a ghostly blue moonlight. Lee as a Sergeant, a11d B01lll9tt, a poor ballad singer, played their leading roles splendidly. Jeanne and A1111 Kirby were excellent also as the two policemen. Miss Hoogs well deserved the fiowers that were presented her by the casts. We k11ow that it 's I1Ot easy to put 011 three plays as good as these, at such short 11otice. 50 THE HALO Sim f gif , H ,1 - Q51 THE HALO THE BRIDGE OF SAN LUIS REY By THORNTON WILDEIQ HE old wove11 bridge of San Luis Rey broke 0116 day, casting five persons into the deep ravine below. As Brother Juniper, a Fran- ciscan mo11k, liked to unravel problems and incidents, he set dow11 specific facts concerning all five persons and why, in his mind, he thought they had been doomed to die. Mr. Wilder has dealt with this mysterious incident in a book consisting of three short stories, a pro- logue, and an epilogue. The first story tells of the old Marquesa de Montemayor a11d her little orphan companion, Pepita. The second story concerns Esteban, a twin, a11d the third story, U11cle Pio, and a boy named Jaime, the son of the beautiful Camila. These five characters all perish when the bridge gives way. The book is a classic, in a sense. The descriptions are vivid, and the characters appealing. The last few phrases, spoken by the old Abbcss, express Mr. Wilder's philosophy of life, I think. Soon we shall die and all the memory of those five will have left the earth, and we ourselves shall be loved for a While and forgotten, all those impulses of love return to the love that made them. Even memory is not neces- sary for love. There is a land of the living and a land of the dead and the bridge is love, the only survival, the Ollly meaning. JEANNE KANN, '28, THE THREE MUSKETEERS' U HE THREE MUSKETEERSH is Mr. Ziegfeld's fourth great musical show, and in my opinion, his best. Of course the critics say it is too long, but it is gloriously so. The ever-young Dennis King, as D'Artagnan, is fascinating. A bit of the old Pan whistles through his veins, showing itself in his every movement and inflection of his voice. He is surrounded by a particu- larly able cast, beautiful scenery, indescribably lovely costumes, and splendid music. Yvonne D'Artc, of operatic fame, contributes most generously to the performance, while a group of Albertina Rasch girls simply outdo themselves i11 presenting to the public forms of graceful and perfected dancing. Best of all, it holds closely to Dumas' thrilling novel, reenchanting you with the full glory of bygone days. KITTY NIARTIN, '29, 52 T H E H A L o BLACK MAJ ESTY' By JOHN VANDERCOOIi U LACK MAJ ESTYH is a most stirring historical romance con- cerning the small island of Haiti. During the reign of Napoleon I, these black men revolted under Toussaint L'Ouverture and established their own black monarchy. All this happened in 1804. Dessolines, formerly a negro coachman, was crowned emperor of Haiti, as Jean Jacques le Premier. So the history' of this island empire be- gan. It lasted through the reign of Christophe I, about 1821. The story dwells mostly with the works of Christophe I-a miraculous man. In education he had nothing to offer. He could write only two words-his name, Henry Christophe. But in power,-that was different. From an almost savage island he built up a great and Wealthy kingdom. Schools, churches, and commerce flourished. His court, most fastidious in their habits, were reprimanded for not dress- ing according to Christophe 's law. Mr. Vandercook writes this book in a free and easy style, with few dates, and certainly gives a vivid picture of the kingdom. The illustra- tions by Mallon Blaine make the book a treasure. They resemble wood cuts in weird colors. J K ,28 CCMEATH By WILLIAM DANIEL STEELE HE description of the India family, before the birth of Rex, is perfectly charming. Their life is so natural, the characters of Sam and Anne India so real, that the contrast with their later life is strongly brought out. Rex is a very abnormal child, for whom his mother sacrifices her own happiness and that of her family, in a des- perate effort to make him like other children. Small Fern and Flagg India try hard to help Rex, not fully understanding his condition, but Anne repels them, making them feel neglected and unwanted. Sam struggles against this influence, but is overwhelmed by Anne's stronger nature. Finally in despair Fern and Flagg ru11 away, their illusions shattered, and their souls turned bitter. At ReX's death Sam brings them home again. Meat is forcefully written, and contains most vivid descriptions. It made a deep impression on me as I read it, one which has increased the more I have thought about it. It is a novel of power which I thor- oughly recommend to anyone. INIARY LoUIsE COLBURN, '28, 53 THE HALO PORGY By DonoTHY ANU DUBo1s HEYWARD OUR times have I written this review Zllld four times have I torn it into despairing shreds. If I could review this play as it should be done, I might be famous overnight. The Theatre Guild should honestly get a Croix de Guerrc and a Congressional medal combined for producing this extraordinary drama. Frank Wilsoii as Porgy and Evelyn Ellis as Crown's Bess are a credit to their race. Their acting is clear and precise, very real- istic, and 110 unnecessary movements creep in. The mob scenes are most exhilarating. This effect is given by an intricate scheme on the part of the Armenian producer, Mr. Mamoulian. The plot centers about the cripple, t'Porgy,', who lives in Catfish Row, Charleston, South Carolina. Porgy falls in love with 'tCroWn's Bess, and then the excitement begins. You are not a spectator but a participant in this drama, and when the curtain falls you feel that you have actually spent a day in the turbulent and clamorous world of Catfish Row. J. K., '28, JOURNAL OF KATHERINE MANSFIELD Edited by JoHN MninLEroN MURRAY NYONE who is si11ce1'ely fond of Katherine Mansfield's short stories will certainly appreciate her Journal. It is compiled by her husband, Joh11 Middleton Murray, who is himself a well- known literary figure in England. This book contains the entire diary of Katherine Mansfield, some of her ideas of life and Work, and plot skeletons. It begins in 1914, and ends i11 1922, the year of her death. As the Journal shows, she was called to write short stories, just after her brother, tt Ohummie, died in the war, and again through her l011g a11d serious illness. Continually days will be recorded in such a manner: January . . . It is a bright winking day. O, God, let me work! Wasted! Wasted!', Another time in December such a state- ment appears: I am all right, sky-high. And even in my brain, in my head, I think and act a11d write wonders-wonders, but the moment I really try to put them down I fail miserably. It seems tragic that a woman so full of ideas and initiative should have to die before her mission was fulfilled. The Journal has exquisite fragments of description and ideas, which all help you to know Katherine Mansfield. 54 THE HALO When, three months before this writer's death, it was certain that she could not recover, she composed a beautiful letter-a farewell to her husband. This letter has a most contented and satisfying end. Referring to the thought of parting, she writes: But now that I've wrestled with it, it's no longer so. I feel happy-deep down. All is well. With these words Katherine Mansfield's Journal comes to a fitting close. Thence forward the conviction, All's well never left her. J. K., '28, QQ? gc, .59 Q z, Y Q Kxlg-9 55 T H E H A L o ALUMNAE NOTES Jeannette Wilcox, Polly Callender, Mary Davis, and Natalie Back- house, '27, and Katherine Neilson have been here to see us lately.

Natalie Baekhouse, '27, played the leading role in Fashion, given by the Junior League of Stamford, on April 19t11 and 20th. A poem by Katherine Neilson, entitled Advice, appeared in the Saturday Review of Literature, of April 7, 1928. This lyric, entered in an interesting contest in the Review, received special mention in this issue of the magazine. Betty Hunter, '27, has been elected secretary of the Freshman Class at Trinity College. Betty and Marie Lynah, '23 and '25, are on a round-the-world cruise with their mothe1'. Mabel Taintor, '27, is secretary of the Darien Guild of the Seven Arts.

Also, a word of thanks to the scrubs, who give of their best to the game, but who stay in the background while we sing the praises of our stars. Give them a thought! TRACK We no longer have an interscholastic track meet, in which only the few very good athletes can join, but track, baseball, soccer, field- ball, and tennis are open to everyone. This is a great deal more fun, and plenty of competition ensues between the Black and Blue teams during the final season. 59 T H E H A L o EXCHANGES The Halo acknowledges the following Exchanges: The Day Star, Mrs. Day's School, New Haven, Conn.
