.5 CALEN DAR SEPTEMBER 24. What ho! We're off for another year, Old girls and new get together for eight Mount Ida months chuck full of fun-and studying. 25. The new girls gaze in wondering awe at the remarkable dramatic talent displayed by the old girls as they give 'ALochinvar in the gym. 26. Everyone weeps big glassy tears because we've just had our first student government meeting and found so many things we're not allowed to do. Besides, there's a great deal of homesickness floating around. 27. With the help of ginghams and hair ribbons and coy lisps, the new girls give a very baby party in the gym. 28. Our first church service is heard at the Old North Church in Boston. We also peek at Paul Revere's young mansion and gasp at the audacity of the neighborhood gargons, 29. Behold! The wonders of Massachusetts' historical background, Concord and Lexington claim our attention for the day-when we're not devouring fudge or cookies, 30. Another student government meeting. OCTOBER 2. Each girl, armed with a soothing coughdrop, ah-ahs and ou-ous in front of Miss Morse until she becomes either a Hrst or second soprano, an alto. or-a Glee Clubber. 4. The noteworthy state clubs are formed. An astonishing lack of knowledge of geography is displayed. 6. The great Plymouth rock smiles and beams as a range of Mt. Ida cameras is focused upon it. 9. The Hrst meeting of the Riding Club, with much horse play on the side. 11. Peanuts and shells get together at the peanut party in the gym. 14. A few who are not disturbed by nightmares see All Quiet on the Vfestern Front at the Paramount. 18. A large group sees Walter Huston in Abraham Lincoln in Boston. 20. A trip to Salem and Marblehead supplies fun for all. First, nine million steps of Bunker Hill Monument had to be climbed and then-one had to come down. The House of Seven Gables was ransacked, likewise Mt. Ida pocketbooks. 22. Miss Allen starts a class in interpretive dancing. Now, we know the girls looked-er-queer at Hrst, but please don't laugh because'-he who laughs last laughs best. 29. Eirst grades. Oh Death, where is thy sting! 30. The old girls start initiating the new girls. lf you don't have too much eyebrow pencil and lipstick on your face and too many sweaters and dresses and coats around your own diaphragm, you might laugh at some of the queer sights which confront you. 31. S-'more initiation. A few lucky girls are released for the evening to attend the Horse Show. 1701
