Again lanes are cleared through the crowd. Again the march from Aida brings a long line of girls out of the doors of the school house, a line led by the tiniest Ones in their white dresses and grading up slowly, slowly, until at last the plain white is broken by black ties, and the Seniors, the reason for the gathering, come solemnly out in single file. Professor Pepper, the speaker, is intro- duced. His talk on The Meaning of an Ideal impresses the whole audience. lt is enlightening and uplifting, and seems so very sincere that it sinks home. Then come the prizes, with the scholarship awards, coming as a climax to the ones for reading and attendance. Suddenly, we discover that the Seniors are one by one receiving the reward for four years' work. The announcement Of the High School scholarship prizes is attended with equal interest and everyone thrills when Helen Thompson is made Optima, for she certainly deserved it, both in stand- ing and spirit. Then Mr. Trelease's short, stirring prayer and the class of 1926 is only a memory. A. M. SCHOLARSHIP PRIZES FOR 1926 English . . . . HELEN THOMPSON Honorable Merztiofz CAROLYN LOMBARDI Latin . .

CORALIE LAMB BARBARA SHERWOOD THE YEAR BOOK The Alumnae Dinner HERE are few events in the year which are dedicated solely to the Seniors, but of these perhaps the one which means most in real promise is the Alumnae Dinner. lt is the last event and the saddest one, yet the least tearful. The Seniors are now beginning to realize that school days are Over, that actual life lies before them. They are confronted, surrounded, and outnumbered by the girls and women who have parted with the same pangs and have made something fine of them- selves in the world. It was the same this year, a lovely, long, U-shaped table, filled with happy people, greeted the first glance. Then came the dinner and the speeches. Mrs. Sutton welcomed the Class of 1926 and wished them luck, which heartened them considerably. Then Mrs. Fur- long told them of the Nile, and Miss Locke moved them utterly with a short and touching story of her European trip, into which she wove the soul Of Europe. Mrs. Noble, the speaker of the evening, vivid and inter- esting, talked in a way that really opened life to the graduates and crystallized life for those that had begun to live it. The Glee Club sang and the dinner ended with the song to which all the guests rose as they sang, Assembled Here Together. H. T. THE TOASTS AT THE ALUMNAE DINNER Welcome to the Alumnae ......

I-1 W THE YEAR BOOK E w lx Editorial ESTERDAY, during our Lower School days, our friends were made without realization of the value of true friendship. We were but children just starting out in a world of sorrow and joy. Sorrow had not come to us and we were happy in our carefree play. Gradually, between the time of our entrance into the upper school and this time, we read more, heard more, learned more, and began to think,-perhaps a little. In the past four years we have learned the worth of the sunshine and the golden hours spent in this,our school, in whose beautiful atmo- sphere our hopes, aims, and ideals have been developing. To-day we are together here before going out into a new and myste- rious world. We are anxious to enter our new life but feel a strangeness swell up in our throats at the thought of parting from these surround- ings which have been our inspiration, from our Faculty who have been our leaders, and from friends whom we may meet in the future to talk over the cherished incidents of our days together. To-morrow we shall scatter, but whether our paths lead to college or elsewhere, no matter how hard the task we have to perform,we feel confi- dent that the spirit ofMiss Ransom and Miss Bridges' School will show us the right way through. We shall always look back on these years with the fondest of memories. B. B. l28l Editor . . Bufineff Mallager AJ.ri.rtm1t Editor . Anixtafzt Bluifzeff School Year . . Orgmzigjntiorzx Oddf mm' Emlf .

Inside the study hall the tallies go down the rows, quietly inspecting the well-ordered desks. The lines file in slowly under the watchful eyes of the four line tallies. The service over, the girls take their seats. Roll is taken, and then, assum- ing that it is Wednesday morning, The regular Student Body meeting will please come to order and the business is started. ltis a wonderful satisfaction to see how completely the oflicers and tallies handle the Student Body affairs. Having been reminded of the treasury dues, any general or specific disorder, the Year Book's need of suggestions, and various penalties for infraction of rules, we adjourn to, perhaps, a spe- cial song practice which ends with the pre-rec tallies ringing the bell.

They called themselves the Saturday Knights. At first they were rather select, but the group expanded and at last embraced the entire boarding department. Slowly the club officers came to have such duties as putting people to bed and getting them up. From this Chrysalis sprang the present S. K. Now, however, the S. K. officers, a president, a secre- tary, and a treasurer, are elected at the end of each year, and the four supplementary tallies elected every month. All neatness, punctuality and general conduct are regulated by these officers and ublic opinion. As many rules as possible are honor rules. To make or competition there are two sides, the S's and the K's, and these two vie with each other in parties, athletics, and the carrying out of S. K. ideals. Prarident ........

Tamalpais have all been tried in the physical quest. The fall week-end, at Bolinas, seems to have been all that could have been desired, furnishing, as it did, enthusiastic ma- terial for optional themes for the next month. Other trips along the San Francisco beach and to Tennessee Cove were equally successful. During the year Jean Lawyer and Barbara Sutro were taken in at different mo- mentous suppers.

During the week-end the Club played a tournament with Miss Branson' s School, in which our team came out victorious, and on Sunday morning a singles tournament took place among the members of the Club and Edith Stebbins won it.

The all vveek-end was taken at Carmel, Wonderful food, drives, cabin, and morning ride forming the basis of conversation for weeks.

French conversation has been carried on at several tables, including that ofthe club, and at vari- ous other activities. The crowning achievement of the year, however, was the fall play, Les Precieuses Ricliculesf by Moliere. The club Was fortunate enough to have for a coach M. Andre Ferrier of La Gaite Fran- caise, and a new grasp on the French language was gained at rehearsals. The play was a great success, the whole cast entering into the spirit of the amusing plot of exaggerations and confusions. Prerident . . YVONNE W1NsLow Secretag' . .

Of course, some were late, their costumes having shown an inclination to come apart about ten minutes to eight. Every year the property closet seems to become more inexhaustible and also the ideas in some heads. Everyone congratulated everyone else on her cos- tume. The professor was a roaring success, the hoola girls were cunning together, and many others wonderfully attractive. The music started briskly, the minutes lengthened into two hours, and the last dance came with many encores. The music left! Yes, there was feast cake and food in abundance. At a sign from Miss Bridges the multitude ceased howling while the prizes were given to the lucky ones. Everyone joyfully thanked Miss Bridges, and on the way up the long brick steps all agreed it was Just per-r-rfect! E. M. The Basketball Supper HE Basketball Supper this year was an extremely educational affair. The Senior stunt was a prophecy of what each individual would be twenty years from now. There were four still in College, there were also a Salvation Army worker, a piano reciter, a lunatic, and others who had chosen equally fascinating careers. The Juniors looked rather dirty, but the real reason for this was that they were portraying characters in Uncle Tom's Cabin. Eliza, repre- senting the Seniors, finally managed to cross Examination River over very thin ice. There was a sappy Sophomore, and Topsy, an athletic Freshman. Eva, representing the Juniors, gave the impression of ever mounting upwards. She went to heaven via the ropes. The Sophomores gave a presentation of the home coming of Odys- seus, slightly modernised. There were lovely sirens Cl wonder that Odysseus withstood them as well as he didl, a reproachful Circe, and various other visitors who rode in on bicycles. The Freshmen delighted us all with their radio productions. There were police and fashion re- ports, a beautiful soprano solo, and a perfectly charming bed-time story. Then the songs were sung, and the Seniors went out singing their farewell, Among the Hills and Dales of Piedmont. The prize for the best stunt went to the Juniors with honorable mention to the Fresh- men. The award for the best song went to the Seniors with honorable mention to thejuniors. E. S. l5sl THE YEAR BOOK The ftmiorfSenio'r Dance HE moment of comparative calm before the long-awaited storm has arrived, evening dresses are laid out on beds, exciting boxes of flowers arrive each minute, the dining-room ceiling is covered with balloons, an hour more and the storm will break! Slowly the chaotic rooms develop into well-ordered ensembles. Then comes the first ring of the doorbell, an anxious wait-only a telegram-and then at last cars begin to come down the esplanade: lights glisten on puddles, and mas- culine voices begin to sound through the lower halls! Avila, your man is here, and Avila, with a last appraising look in the mirror, disap- pears. Let us follow Avila through the evening, for we should be lost if we tried to watch the fortunes of all these young ladies. So we trail Avila down the stairs past several excited couples, and then a little timidly into the open space by the front door. Now she sees her young man and walks toward him, a bit shyly. His relief at seeing a familiar face in the crowd is evident, and a moment later she is thanking him for her flowers. They wander in to greet Miss Bridges, and we stand afar and watch Avila's pretty manners, her unbelief at the sight of so many younginmiintuxesinthe.Ranson1Schoolconunonuxxnn,and,heres cort's embarrassment upon being introduced. As we wait for Avila to come out, the anxiously awaited orchestra arrives, and soon music starts in the dining room. Avila tears herself away from a group of admiring youngnmn,andsheandherpanmermmndthehxvaytothedhungroonn where already the floor is on the way to being full. Excitement grows, balloons pop, programs seem to be of little use to us in finding partners! The Stags now a bit abashed by the enormous number of unknown girls plunge into the throng and emerge-triumphant. We catch glimpses of Avila smiling sweetly at some unknown cut-in, and then at another, we evidently made a popular choice: we find her partner at our side a bit distressed by her elusiveness. I-Ie plunges, and we see Avila's wel- coming smile, we glance about, Avila is not the only girl who is enjoy- ing this overpowering popularity. The supper-dance is announced and a liacklhmfonnsinthedoortothepanuy,andsoonyoungrnmubeadng food and drinks emerge. Couples and groups, balancing precarious plates on their knees, form all over the first floor. We follow Avila to the common-room, and leave her in a deep conversation with her partner, while we go sight-seeing. Several men are singing softly in Miss Bridges' office to an ecstatic group of girls, some talented youth is playing the piano in the common-room and several people are doing solo Charleston steps. The last dance arrives, incredibly soon, and is encored and encored. But all good things must come to an end, and Avila with her mollified escort, file out and bid good-night to Miss Bridges and the faculty. H. T. l59l THE YEAR BOOK The Senior Vlkelyend PRIVATE car please-Brookdale-No, it's a phonograph !-Yes, we can buy candy. Oh hurry! And the class of '26 was off on its week- end. As before mentioned, in the abandoned joy of a private car, with phonograph and candy, the three hours previous to the boarding of the second train passed miraculously. Did I say second train? No, it certainly was not that, but rather a large undraped, snub-nosed beetle from whose round eyes many faces could be seen peering as it snorted its way through the trees. Brookdale at last! a lodge with a big fire and a still bigger fire place, a special orchestra, a swimming pool with colored lights playing up from the bottom on its joyful occupants, and finally but really of utmost importance, the dining room. Built to feed the soul as well as the body was the motto and it certainly succeeded in both issues. Through the middle ran a gushing stream whose entrance was heralded by a miniature waterfall. The tables were terraced up on each side, and the sound of rushing water, and the sense of being among the trees, attained by the huge branch-inset windows, only heightened the charm of our surroundings. Sunday morning was spent in walking or swimming and the afternoon in several very wonder ul hours with the Broadwaters at their country home. After an indescribable tea we all returned to the lodge via the truck, and with one more visit to the dining room bade a sorrowful farewell to Brookdale. The Senior week-end was over, but a perfect time we had, and what a memory to keep! A. M. The Senior Cabaret w1LD and vivid circus! Arrayed in their circus best everyone ar- rived and amid shrieks and screams of animals, the bellowing of the masters and hot dog and ice cream sellers, the mob bought their tickets and sat at little tables of four. Blaring of trumpets and silence-then a series of ludicrous lions, a flaming voice bursting into song from the depths of a heaving singer's bosom, the wanton Wiles of the Hwinegar woikers, a dazzling dancer of the charming Charleston and afterwards a stream of hilarious haunts such as the fat lady, the strong man of iron, and the devilish dwarf. After a ghastly glimpse into our futures the whirlwind ended with a frolic of dancers inspired by a blaring orchestra. H. P. ' E601 THE YEAR BOOK The junior Hay Ride Listen, my children, of what came to pass On the hay-wagon ride of the junior Class On October sixteenth in twenty-hve- It's a wonder that any are now alive. We started off in a hullaballoo After the presents had told who was who, And the good folks of Piedmont stood still in amaze When the trucks full of girls fell under their gaze. The Freshmen amused us with many a ditty And cheered us with songs that were clever and witty All tuned to the Uke with its well-known strum Even those that don't sing were encouraged to hum. Soon we arrived at Sequoia Park Where already the fire had begun to sparkg And after we'd cooked and eaten our fill We put things away and embarked down the hill. There we found that our sisters had started to prance, And Miss Carnochan showed us a new kind of dance, And the Glee Club sang with voices quite clear, But the new members' songs we could hardly hear. Finally the signal was given to leave And we piled in the trucks with many a heave, For each of us felt that our weight had increased Since we'd kept right on eating when we all should have ceased We arrived at school around about eight Which seemed to the boarders an hour quite late, And everyone stated without having lied That it really had been a most perfect Hay Ride.

This keen competition made for good players, and by the time the game with the Anna Head School arrived, a good team was in fighting trim. The game was a tie again this year, but that score does not mean that there was not splendid playing done. The class games were played Off as usual and the Seniors came out the victors. The honors of next year's hockey captain were vvon by Frances Halliday. The members of the team this year were: Captfzivz, MAR'IORIE FURLONG HUME, H. WYCKOFF, A. SUTTON, H. STEBBINS, E. SEAGRAVE, E.

There were very few of the old team left, so the new girls had a chance to show what they could do. Though our luck was not so good in the outside games with Miss I-lead's and Miss Btanson's the girls all took their defeat with very good grace, planning to work up for next year.

In spite of many interrup- tions the girls all turned out and played with remarkable spirit. The class games were played off, and in the finals the Juniors came up against the Seniors on Friday, May 28. The Juniors were the Winners this year. The baseball supper was held that evening and Jean Duncan was elected next year's captain. The annual Faculty-Student baseball game was played on Monday, the American Beauty team proved to be the Winner. The school team this year was: Captain: MARION SOMERS HUME, H. DALTON, A. SUTTON, H.

All dur- i ing the year at various times we played the other schools around the bay and then entered our team in the big Claremont tournament. In this, one of our teams came through to the finals, but all our girls played well, and they had hard opposition. In the school tournaments for the singles and doubles cups, Dorothy Smith and Elizabeth Broadwater won the doubles and Dorothy Smith the singles.

Surely the confident swing of the marching girls is a pleasant surprise to anyone who has been struggling through the year with the rest of her gym class trying to master the art of square corners. The music may have somethingto do with it, but the credit not only for the marching but for the whole finished production belongs to Miss Carnochan. The First and Second Grades start the meet by doing rhythmic move- nmnmintnnetonmwm.TheThndandFoumhChadmthmnnnhnvsun. Then comes a folk dance by the Fifth and Sixth Grades. They seem to enjoy it immensely and pull each other's hair Ca movement in the dance -don't worryD with a right good will. The Seventh and Eighth Grades then do their folk dance. As they all go back to their places thejuniors appear with time-honored dumb bells on their hips. Their performance isexuenmbfgoodandthdrrhydunshowsthemuhnngtheyhavehad during the year. After the Juniors come the exercises-eight girls from each class making up the group. Then comes the military marching, eight girls from each class competing in this also. Immediately follow- ing this the Freshmen and Sophomores come clogging from their corner of the room and give a lively, clogging sailors' dance. Then the Seniors come from the depths of the basement with their customary Indian Clubs. The exercise is completed, without any serious damage being done. This finished, the apparatus is brought out and with astonishing agility girls go up the ropes, and over the box. Then comes the last event of the meet, a relay race between three girls from each of the High School Classes. They do it with hockey stick and ball. The idea is to weave the ball in and out around four Indian Clubs. lt is feared that some of the girls would not qualify as polo players. Miss Bridges then awards the cups. The Seventh and Eighth Grades win the Lower School Cup,while the Seniors carry off the honor in the Upper School. Then the posture prize, a new institution this year, is 8WHIdCdfOJC8HJ3HHSOUlUthCIJPPCfSChOOlHHdX5IghHHCDHVCfh1IhC Lower School. The numerals are given out to the class gym teams and then the Gold R's are awarded to those who have had a good record all year and have been on three School Teams.

A delightful Valen- tine Party which was most kindly given by Miss Smith, was enjoyed by the First and Second Grades. The afternoon was spent with games, refreshments, and a Valentine box. The play which the Third and Fourth Grades successfully presented, displayed the effort they must have put into it. The scenes from Ivan- hoe presented by the Fifth and Sixth Grades in the spring, were done with a great deal of spirit and ability. In the fall, the Seventh and Eighth Grades enter- tained their friends with a very finished production of What Men Live By by Tolstoi. Each part was portrayed with remarkable poise, and Betty Wood, who took the part of the Devil, was exceptionally good. Many of the costumes were made by the girls with the assistance of Mrs. Howell. On April 15, Miss Head's School challenged the Lower School to a basketball game, and, although our girls were defeated, it was after a good fight. There is promising material in the lower grades and many signs of good acting ability which will be of value in the future Shakespeare plays. We are looking forward to their entrance into the High School and we wish them all kinds of success.

Music by the Philharmonic Trio l74 l T H E Y E A R B 0 O K I g The Merchant of Venice N the pleasant mildness of a perfect spring evening the imagination found the leap from familiar everyday sur- roundings to a street in Venice almost no feat at all. Nor, a Venetian oneself for two delightful hours, was it much more of a strain to parade intimately infancy with one's Venetian cronies. ln the com- pany of those debonair pals, Salanio CEvelynBadeD,SalarinoCDorothyKrollD, and that bubbling fountain of irrespon- sible youth, Gratiano CI-larriet SuttonD, mirth and laughter infested the air. Antonio, another old friend in the person of Katharine Douglas, was throughout the play his melancholy self, shrugging g off amiably the light-hearted concern of i i his carefree companions for the gloom that invested him. Katharine's studied indifference well portrayed his indisposition to enjoy life at first hand. She indicated admirably that the center of his life was the somewhat swagger Bassanio, with his re- current needs. Helen Thompson as this impecunious gentleman made certainly a delightful friend and lover-one for whom even the most beautiful and gentle Portia, for all her native wit and intelligence, might well fall. And Marjorie Furlong, this paragon of wit and beauty and intelligence, must inevitably have at- tracted all the warm bloods in the world -even from blackest Africa, the home Cfor the nonceD of the lordly Jean Jami- son, the dusky Prince of Morocco. This dusky prince, however, man though he was from his firm heels to his shapely, well-poised head, and irresistibly at- tended as he was by his adorable pages, was doomed to defeat by one who had already received fair, speechless mes- sages from the fairest of the fair. After the ideal love scene wherein Marjorie indeed charmed with the light of her countenance and the sweet grace of her acting and Helen played the im- portunate lover to perfection, came the i half pleading announcement by another pair of lovers of their troth. Gratiano E751 THE YEAR BOOK had made the most of his time and had won the ready heart of Nerissa, prettily played by Elise de Fremery. And while these happy things have been transpiring at Portia's home, that most beautiful pagan, ' ' Jessica, played with a demure grace by Ann Wyckoff, has possessed herself of her father's treasure and made off in her turn with the man of her heart, Lorenzo CMildred Smithj. Up to this point fortune had warmed with the sunshine of her smile these happy folks of Venice. But Bassanio, in order to woo Portia, had earlier had to bind over Antonio to the Jewish money-lender, Shylock. The role of this outraged social outcast was well taken by Edith Steb- bins, who only too realistically, perhaps, mumbled her soliloquies into her beard. However this may be, she successfully conveyed the idea of suppressed malice eating at the heart of the merciless Jew and showed with remarkable skill the effect of warring passions in leash and on the ramp. Shylock's is truly a hard part and Edith did well throughout. We were honestly concerned for the fate of the melancholy Antonio, Hfittest for slaughter, in the court room scene, and grieved with Shy- lockintheend. Among the lighter roles we found Launcelot Gobbo admirably inter- preted by the flippant Sally Rutter and old Gobbo done to a turn by Margaret Nibley. The various servants, Leonardo, Balthasar, and Stephano, played by Elena Blackaller, Charlotte Eddy, and Diantha Miller respectively, left nothing to be desired in the way of presenta- tion. Cf all the slighter incidents of the play perhaps the most appeal- ing was the song so effectively sung from the Balcony by Barbara Sutro -it came clearly and naturally through the night air, summing up the lovely things of the play.
