Grasping firmly Pooh's paw, he said: Pooh, promise you wonit forget about me, ever. Pooh, what- ever happens, you will understand, won't you?,' Christopher intui- tively knew that in the world ahead of him he needed someone to whom he could always return, whether in triumph or in confusion. The important thing to Christopher was that Pooh would remain un- changed and would remain forever understanding. The selection of the theme Winnie the Pooh for the CHRONICLE of your senior year seems inevitably to contain the unwritten plea that you may always find here understanding. Those of us who remain behind can only say it is a very Grand Thing to be venturing into an Exciting Worldg and as you go, we want you to know that we shall always try to keep your school an Enchanted Place where you will always feel that you If . can find understanding. ill l if N .

Every- one at certain times in her life prays for a gay heart and a quiet mind, and most of us then supinely wait for the miracle and ruefully accept what we take to be the denial without ever realizing that we have ourselves rejected the gift. Mrs. Gilbert knew that the gay heart, the gentle manner, and a sensitive awareness are gifts that have to be won through ceaseiess struggles and have to be preserved by continuing vigilance. It is so easy to assume that she could do all things so easily and that her cleansing laughter was effortless. Clear insight into the troubled hearts of the young comes not as a sudden revealing Hash of lightning in the confusing darkness of the night, but rather as the slow unfolding of the prayed-for dawn. Mrs. Gilbert had so much to offer us and offered it so readily and so happily that we accepted it as carelessly as we breathe in the life-giving air. Thoughtlessly we expected her bounty to be limitless and endless. It has taken us many sad months to realize that the endlessness of her boundless gifts has now a different meaning. What she has given us will go on directly with this present generation, and it will become part of the inheritance of the next. Perchance in the years that are to follow, some discerning visitor may say that there is a certain tranquility at Mary Institute that is unique. How this wonderful gift came to Mary Institute will not then be important, and this will be the way things should be, too, because this is the manner in which great teachers find immortality. -10- Senio Officers Co-Editor-DALE BODENHEIMER C0!Edit0T-NANCY NOLAND Business Manager-NANCY GREEN Copy Editor-IULIE WILLIAMS TTCGSUVQT-BLANCHE MYER r Staff Board Members JANE LIPSCOMB ANN LUEDINGHAUS KAY LUNGSTRAS JANE SPOEHRER MARY ZEPPENFELD Our Thanks to A.

Varsity Club: Singer, Myer Athletic Association The Athletic Association, during the '55-'56 year, introduced many changes in the athletic pro- gram and stimulated interest never before equaled. The Green-Gold teams were revised and they competed in hockey, basketball, and volleyball. In the fall, the varsity teams took the field in a new uniform of bermuda shorts and long-sleeve shirts and, because of general approval this uniform was continued throughout basketball and volleyball. Game attendance this year was tremendously in- creased over previous years as faculty, parents, and students turned out to cheer the teams on. Var- sity Club regulations were revised and ten girls now have the honor of Wearing their white blazers. The A. A. sponsored a posture contest in which both faculty and students competed. An active dance club headed by Mrs. Schneider, successfully produced a modern dance program in chapel. Our sincere thanks goes to the entire gym department and particularly to Miss Bemis for her untiring interest.

Butler Green and Gold After many years, the Green and Gold teams have been revived by the Athletic Association. These new school teams were formed in gym classes, where each girl drew either a green or gold slip of paper to determine the team she was to be on. This was thought to be the fairest means of divid- ing the student body so that the athletic ability would be as equal as possible. In the first Green and Gold contest this year, the Greens defeated the Golds in hockey, l-O. The Golds came back to win the basketball game, 10-5. A softball tourna- ment, in which each class participated, was held in May. It is felt that the revival of the school teams has been a great success and has boosted school spirit tremendously.

At the end of our enthusiastic season, the record stood at two wins, one against the Fresh- men l-0 and the other against the Sophomores l-O, and a loss to the Iuniors l-0. During the hockey season, we participated in three sports days. We took the field against Principia, the re- sult being a l-l tie. Our game with University City was a loss l-0, and our game with Villa was a O-O tie. Following the Villa sports day, as an anti-climax to our fairly successful season, our Senior team took the Field again, this time with a Senior team composed of Country Day boys. This game was oflicially refereed and progressed in an orderly manner. The mixed teams played hard and worked considerably well together. At the end of the game, the score showed the white team ahead of the pinnie team, 4-2. This exciting game ended an equally exciting season. Front Row: S. Butler Second Row: D. Bodenheimer, Singer, E.

Captain Susie Butler led the An team to a tie against the ninth grade, a Win over the tens, and a loss to the elevens, the successful defending cham- pions. Priscilla Hockeris B team defeated the freshmen, lost to the sophomores, and defeated the juniors. The Bn team upheld the class by Winning its game with Principia in a sportsday. The A team, however, lost its game with Prin. Although we did not Win all of our games, We fought hard and enjoyed playing in the intramural games and in the Prin and Villa sportsdays.

The B team, however, lost its last in a hard fought game, to Burroughs. The 1956 Varsity squad is to be con- gratulated on its successful season. S. Butler, Bodenheimer, Armstrong, Frank, Noland, Roessler, Singer, Luedinghaus, Myer enior RA Volleyball This year more interest was displayed by the Seniors in intramural volleyball, than in many past years. At the end of the season, the An team exhibited a very poor record, but we feel that we achieved our desire to enjoy and play a more highly skilled game. In the end, our record stood at no wins, two losses, and one tie, the Bn team thus being the winning faction in the class. Our tie was with the Sophomores, 33-33. Losses oc- curred with the Freshmen and Iuniors in succes- sive games, 2l-25 and 22-29 respectively. As an anti-climax to the l956 volleyball season, the senior BU team took the Hoor against a Villa Senior team one afternoon in late April. The first half of the game proved the two teams fairly even, but in the second half the M. I, team pulled away to an enormous lead, and went on to win 49-15. As a class, win or lose, we feel that we have com- pleted a very productive season. Butler, Noland, Bodenheimer First Row: Weinstein, Hickey, C. Hardin, Myer, Sachar, Schumacher Second Row: A.

In the three-way sports day between Principia, Iohn Burroughs, and Mary In- stitute, at Mary I., the green and gold team came out on top, winning eight matches and losing none. A sports day at Villa showed Mary I. win- ning twelve, losing eight, and tying three. Thomas Iefferson was the scene of another sports day, the outcome being a two and two tie. The Varsity tennis team, working with Mrs. Ferber, showed great ability and spirit, and had an outstanding year. Front Row: Hungerford, G. Bland, L.

Again the school re- sponded to the council's magazine drive by bring- ing old magazines for the State Hospital. Because of the noise in the halls, the Senior Council suc- cessfully encouraged the wearing of tie shoes by the student body. The study halls have been im- proved greatly through the cooperation of all in- volved. The noise in the halls on the way to chapel in the morning has been greatly reduced. Because of the untidyness of the balcony in the gym and lockers, a clean-up committee was formed. Each week several girls from each of the five upper classes have helped to keep our school neat. This year the council has urged each girl to take care of herself and one other girl, in order to lessen the problems of all. l First Row: Priest, Schneider, Frank, Hoeker, S.

For several Sundays we were kept busy trying to discover new additions to stimulate added interest in the board, the new- est addition being a section devoted to middle school activities. Changes were also made in the athletic division. The picture placement was al- tered, and the addition of junior varsities and green and gold team pictures was made. The Senior Chronicle Board appointed a girl from each class to be in charge of the solicitation of ads and the stimulation of interest in her respective class. Pictures of each play production were taken and included in the activity division. The entire Chronicle Board hopes that the school will like our book. VVithout the excellent guidance and assistance of Mr. Zehrt, Mr. Swain, Mr. Haus- laden, Mr. Giessow, our co-editors, and our vari- ous photographers, the staff would not have been able to make your book a success.

The increase in the number of pictures on the front page and the sports page has added much to the Diary. Also a business staff has been created which was under the able leader- ship of Blair Smith. As in the past, the junior class put out their own issue of the Diary. They worked on this during Spring vacation, and it was through this issue that they tried out for positions on next year,s board. There have been many out- standing editorials this year through the constant efforts of the editor Judy Trimble. She was sup- ported by the editorial staff consisting of Assistant Editor Letitia Butler, Feature Editor Andrea Max- well, Copy Editor Priscilla I-locker, Circulation Manager Carolyn Frank, Athletic Editor Susie Butler, Assistant Athletic Editor Robyn Roessler, and Iunior Page Editor Mary Ann Elliott.

The main eifort of this year's Senior Dramatic Club was the presentation of the play, Alice, Sit By The Fire. The combined ef- forts of the Country Day boys and the Mary Seniors made this production an outstanding suc- cess. The president of the Senior Dramatic Club, Blair Smith, besides playing the lead in the M. I. Senior play, also had a main part in the Country Day Masque. Maryls Juniors also took part in this presentation, besides giving their own play, On- dine, which starred Allison Tupper, president of the Iunior Dramatic Club. The combined efforts of the Whole Club, including Blair Smith and the following officers, Pitty Elliott, Jane Spoehrer, and Carolyn Frank, have helped make this year a suc- cessful one ior the Dramatic Club.

Our first production Was Alice, Sit By The Fireu presented by the Senior Dramatic Club. The other programs consisted of the junior, Sophomore, and Freshmen plays, Heidi, Nicolette et Aucas- sin,', and the Thanksgiving and Christmas presen- tations. We ended the year with the Glee Club presentation of Mozartas Papagenou and Bach's Coffee Cantata.

Under the direction of Mr. Arnatt and the leadership of its President, Priscilla Hocker, with the support of her officers, Dale Hamilton, Ellen Armstrong, and Marnie Crossen, the Glee Club has given seven produc- tions. Their main effort was the Spring Concert consisting of the Coffee Cantata and Papageno by Mozart. Other of their eioforts were: The Peasant Cantata, The Telephone, the Christmas program at school, caroling at Children's Hospital, and singing at St. Peter's on Ash Wednesday. This year there has been a Wider variety of programs and more participation of individual girls in these programs. We would like to thank Mr. Arnatt for his fine guidance and direction throughout the past year.

Many room collections have been brought back to the main library, and the re- arrangement of books both in the library and the Alumnae Room has meant a more workable col- lection. We have a library of seven thousand vol- umes and we subscribe to thirty-five magazines and two newspapers-and we are still growing. Alumnae and friends of Mary Institute have been most generous in gifts of books and periodical sub- scriptions, and with the careful use of school funds for purchase, we now have a library of which we can justly be proud. This year our Library Board of student assis- tants has been of the greatest service in the re- arrangements of collections, and the uniform marking of all books. A short period of service in the Library has meant increased knowedge of books. It has been a good year with books at Mary Institute.

Besides the fact that Sally Waterbury has done a splendid job in head- ing the bus monitors, the monitors have proven themselves to be very capable. The junior moni- tors have done their jobs equally as Well as the senior monitors, We should all realize the fact that on the shoulders of a bus monitor falls a great re- sponsibility. The buses were able to leave earlier from school, because the monitors were prompt in boarding the buses in order to make preparations for roll call. Although Miss Burlingame, the bus drivers, and the faculty and students riding the buses have been thanked many previous times, We feel that they deserve a renewed thanks for the part theyive played in making this year a success- ,ful one.

The Cum Laude Society Members of the class of 1956: Ellen Baker Armstrong Suzanne Carol Butler Carolyn Frank Priscilla Sands Hocker Andrea Iudith Maxwell The national honorary association known as The Cum Laude Society, comparable to Phi Beta Kappa in colleges, is celebrating this year its Fiftieth anniversary. Founded in l906 at the Tome School in Maryland, it has had for its purpose through all these years the recognition of scholar- ship and the encouraging of high ideals of work. The Chapter Roll now contains l57 of the lead- ing schools in the country. Our own chapter was installed in 1941 by the oficers of the St. Louis Country Day School chapter, the other member of the society in this vicinity. Eligible members are those students who have an honor record up to the time of election and who stand in the upper fifth of the college preparatory seniors. Mr. Beas- ley and Mrs. Johnson are the officers of the Mary Institute chapter. A joint initiation with the six members from Country Day School was held in a special cere- mony Tuesday morning, May l, at Country Day School. Parents and friends of the honor seniors of both schools attended, as well as faculty, the student body of Country Day School, and our en- tire senior class. Mr. Ethan Shepley, Chancellor of Washington University, was the inspiring speaker. The members of the St. Louis Country Day School from the class of l956 are: George Wood Beeler Robert LeValley Church Charles Alan Eckert Thomas Melville Latta Iohn Finney McDonnell C.
