EDITORIAL STAFF Molly Goodrich Doris Stoetzer Ann Lane Judy Easley Joyce Rosenfeld Beyond her duties as a teacher of Latin and Ancient History, Miss Shisler has more than filled her position as Class Advisor to the Fourth Form. She has been a friend as well as an advisor to all of us. Her companionship and help have been an integral part of our years at Mount Vernon. Chapel Services owe a great deal of their meaning to the music. Miss Shisler seated at the piano has become a familiar sight, associated with the fifteen minutes in the day when we are all gathered together in worship. In addition to her help in the solution of th e every-day problems confront- ing our class, Miss Shisler has provided invaluable aid in the production of this book. Words seem an inadequate means of expressing that which we owe our Class Advisor. In everything that we have attempted, and in those things which we have accomplished. Miss Shisler has been our constant supporter and the source of suggestions which have motivated our actions. FOR HER TIRELESS AID. FOR HER WISE GUIDANCE, FOR HER CHEERFUL COMPANION- SHIP.

Even at that time we were not the youngest class in the school, for that year a First Form was introduced at Mount Vernon. However, this was only the first of two major changes at M. V. S., the second having occurred in December when, at an unexpected meeting of the faculty and student body, Mr. Lloyd told us that the Navy Department would definitely take over our beautiful buildings and campus in January. He added that, with the support and cooperation of each one of us, the school would continue in spite of these changes. And so it was that we began our Christmas vacation filled with sadness at giving up our beloved surroundings, but also filled with hope and faith. January arrived, and so did a letter from Mr. Lloyd announcing the reopening of school at 4340 Fordham Rd. on February 2nd, 1 943. In our hearts we exchanged sadness for joy and a determination to make the new school as successful as the old. We returned to a school completely different as far as physical environ- ment was concerned, but a school which seemed strangely the same- — it was then that we realized that it isn ' t the grounds or buildings that make a school, but rather the intangible yet much-more-lasting qualities such as spirit, loyalty, guidance, and companionship. That spring we adjusted ourselves to our classes above Garfinckel ' s, our bus-rides to and from school, our appetites (augmented by the trek up to 4020), and our athletics in the assembly room and at American U. By the fall of 43, we were increased, as a class, to 20, and felt like old- timers at M. V. S. We must have taken the code in our rule books to heart, for we won Flag Honor for the year! This year we had a new athletic field of our own. In the spring of ' 44, we were proud to have the first president of the prep school student body chosen from our class. NINE When we returned In the fall of ‘44 as the Fourth Form of M. V. S., our class had increased to 30. Each girl chose her activities and applied herself with determination. We ordered our class rings, we individually chose books for a Fourth Form Library, and we worked on our yearbook. We played hockey, we worked over chemistry and biology, we danced, and we sang. In everything we did, there seemed to be happiness — a happiness which was sometimes less apparent, but which was there always, regardless. We were the leaders of a new student body, and as such, we wanted to set high standards and to reach a goal for following Fourth Forms to maintain. We hope we have succeeded. . . . J I N ANN LANE WASHINGTON, D. C. ANNIE Three years at M. V. S. ' President Class , 42- ' 43, ' 44- ' 45: Optima 43-45; Little Theatre 42- ' 45: Hockey Varsity ’43-’44- War Bond Committee ' 44-45; Co-Business Man- ager Year Book ' 44- ' 45 In any class, or group of people, there are natu- rally those who, by sheer strength of personality and ability to accomplish, stand out. Such a person Is Ann. Her chief forte Is found in her scholastic achievements, but she also excels In activities — the Little Theatre and Art. Evidence of her inborn ability to lead is accorded by her two terms as Class President. Popular, attractive, friendly — Ann is an ' All-Round girl. DORIS REBECCA STOETZER FAIRMONT, WEST VIRGINIA DO ' 1 Three years at M. V. S.; Vice President Class 42- ' 43; President Class ' 43- ' 44; House Chairman. Gatesly ' 43- ' 44; President Preparatory School Student Body 1 4 4 - ' 4 B ■ Glee Club ' 42- ' 45; Co-Business Manager Year Book t 44- ' 45; War Bond Committee ' 44- ' 45. Do Is a leader, Do is a humorist, Do is a f riend — - leadership, jokes, and friendship, these are three of the characteristics that have so endeared Do to our complete class. She is a person who will be a success wherever she goes if the results of her unifying the Student Body can be judged as typical, and we think they can. i i v ( n MARY LEE ANDREWS OLD POINT COMFORT, VIRGINIA BILLIE One year at M. V. S + ; Jango Captain at Walter Reed Hospital. Always an ardent worker, Billie has a smile for everyone. She is attractive, and this attribute, coupled with a winning personality, enables her to make friends easily. Perseverance is one of Billie ' s leading characteristics and will help her to be as successful in later life as she has been In her year at Mount Vernon, BARBARA LEE BECK READING, PENNSYLVANIA BOBBIE ' One year at M. V. Bandage Rolling ' 44-45. An outstanding amount of poise and reserve characterizes Barbara. She has originality and humor which have added greatly to our form. Her enviable quality of displaying a genuine seriousness and sympathy always presents itself when most needed. TV EL V E BLENDA ANITA BLOM SWEDEN NITA One year at M. V, $,; Little Theatre ' 44- ' 45; House Chair ' man, Glen brook ' 44 ' 45; Salvage ' 44- 1 -4 5 . Nuestra amiga de Sud America has brought us a lively combination of beauty and intelligence. Her participation in the Little Theatre has given her a good start in her chosen career. Quiet yet forceful, Nita is a girl who will make her mark. JOANNE BOBRINK SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS JO One year at M. V. $.: Little Theatre 44-45; Episcopal Canteen ' 44- 45, It is rather unusual to find an ' Army Brat — an extensive traveler by necessity — who, in so short a time, has fitted in as well as Jo. Perhaps this adaptability can best be attributed to her friendly manner, her cuteness, and her sweetness. Inci- dentally, her greatest ambition— one which we would all like to realize — is to travel around the world and then to settle in Hawaii. THIRTEEN I SUSANNE BRITTON PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA ’ ' SUE One year at M. V. S.; Bandage Rolling 44- 45. Sues blonde hair and blue eyes blend well with her quiet mannerisms and neat appearance. Ten- nis is her forte, but her athletic ability is not limited to this one sport. The qualities of fair play and good sportsmanship that have helped Sue to excel in this field guarantee her success in any endeavor. JULIA MacDOWELL CLARK STAUNTON, VIRGINIA ' JUBY One year et M. V. $.; War Bond Committee 44 ' 4 $, ' Where ' s Tribby? This query could only be posed by one member of our class— Juby Clark. Whether dashing up to lunch or going down to the Y ' for basketball, these two are a fun- loving pair. There is no doubt that Juby ' s happy- go-lucky disposition will always stand her in good stead. I O U R T L t : X BARBARA ANN COCHRAN WASHINGTON. D. C. BARBY One year at M. V. S.’ War Bond Committee 44 45. Barby is a redhead! Yet strangely enough, the most well known characteristic of redheads — a quick temper — seems to have been left out of her make-up, and taking its place is a double portion of vivacity. Dimples, smiles, and a fun loving nature will always bring to mind a picture of our class redhead. BARBARA MARCRUM COLE CHEVY CHASE, MARYLAND SABS Three years at M. V.. S, ; Class Treasurer ' 43- ' 44 ■ Little Theatre ‘42- ' 4S: Treasurer of Little Theatre ' 44-’45. Babs is very attractive, has a sense of humor and a decidedly winning personality. It naturally follows, therefore, that she has made and retained many friends. Her chief characteristic is her deep and sincere desire to become a dancer and an actress; evidence of this is offered by her interest and success in the Little Theatre. i 1 i r i-: i T CATHERINE HERBERT COX ROME. ITALY BIMBA One year at M, V. S.; Secretary-Treasurer, Athletic Asso- ciation ' 44- ' 45; Glee Club 44 ' 45; Salvage Committee 44- 45; Hockey Varsity ' 44- 45. The phrase, ’The life of the partyT has become trite and meaningless, but, when applied to Bimba, this phrase seems to take on fresh savor. Friendliness, enthusiasm, and that Intangible-yet- desirable quality known as pep are some of the characteristics which have made Bimba so many friends. JULIA NELSON EASLEY LEW1SBURG, WEST VIRGINIA JUDY Three years at M. V. S.; Class Treasurer 42-45; Hockey Varsity ' 41 - 44 ; Literary Club ' 42- 45; President of the Social League for the Preparatory School ' 44- ' 45; War Bond Committee ' 44- 45; Literary Editor of the Yearbook ’44-‘45; Optima ' 43-‘45. Curly brown hair and an infectious giggle spell Judy. She is the kind of person who is fun to be with in the classroom, where Optima testifies to her ability, and in school events, where her origi- nality and spirit lend to the activities of the Social League. I SIXTEEN MARY ALICE GOODRICH CHARLESTON, WEST VIRGINIA MOLLY Three years at M. V r S.; Social League Representative 43 - ' 44 ; Varsity Hockey ' 42- ' 44 ' War Bond Committee ' 43 - ' 44: Bandage Rolling ' 44- ' 45: Editor-in-Chlef of Year- bools ' 44- ' 4 5 . Popular, clever, attractive, sincere, slightly re- served — these are some of the adjectives which best describe Molly. Yet, underlying these char- acteristics are also those of high standards and ethics. Her work as editor of the yearbook has been untiring and has made her an outstanding member of our form. SALLY ANNE GRONER IRVINGTON-ON-THE HUDSON, SAL ' NEW YORK One year at M. V. S.r Hockey Varsity 44- ‘45 ; Glee Club ' 44-45, Believe it or not, Sal has chosen occupational therapy as her career. Her conscientiousness and assiduity have been reflected not only in her class activities but also in her athletics. These characteristics will be an asset in the realization of her ambition. s E V E N T F E N ANNE HENDERSON WASHINGTON, 0. C. HENDO Three years at M. V, S.; Optima ' 43 ' 45; Literary Club ' 42- 4S: Bandage Rolling ' 44 - 45. Anne is the girl with the small, soft voice and the large ideas. Throughout three years at Mount Vernon, Hendo has maintained the same scholas- tic standards. Her originality and artistic ability have been valuable assets to our class. MARY ELIZABETH HENRY PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA BETTY Two years at M. V, Little Theatre 43- 45; Social League Representative 44 45; Hockey Versify 44 ; War Bond Committee P 44-’4$, Betty has made lasting friends by her understand- ing smile and sunny nature. Because of such faculties as high Ideals and perseverance, she has done well at Mount Vernon. As a member of the Social League, Betty has contributed greatly to the success of our dances. L ) G H T E E X MARY JANE HYMAN WASHINGTON, D. C. JANEY Two years at M. V. S.; War Bond Committee 44- 45 Janey joined the class in 43, and her easy-going manner seems to be just what our class needs in these rushed times. She may seem quiet occa- sionally, but this reticence is an integral part of her grand personality, a personality that will en- able her to make many friends wherever she may be. MARY MacFARLANE LYLE NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK MAC One year at M. V. S.; Secretary Class 44- 45; Jango. Tall, slim, attractive — could Mac have chosen a more suitable career than that of a model? She has worked hard as class secretary, as the success- ful results plainly show. Needless to say, Mac has the well-wishes of all for a happy and suc- cessful career. N INF.TE 1 N ELIZABETH MITCHELL LYMAN MINNEAPOLIS. MINNESOTA LIZ Two years at M r V, 5.; Varsity Hockey 44; Glee Club 43-‘44; Social League Representative ' 43- ' 44; Dress Com- mittee ' 43 ' ' 44; President Athletic Association ' 44- ' 45, Liz ' s attraction lies in her western nonchalance A willingness to work and ingenuity have made her a good Athletic Association President— charm and genuineness have made her a good friend of all. SUSAN HARRIET MALONEY PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA “ SUE Two years at M, V. $ ■ Social League Representative ' 43- 44: War Bond Committee ' 44 ’45. Always smiling and ready for fun, Sue is sincerely friendly—a fact which rates her high on our pop- ularity pole. With interest in others, poise, and personality, there Is no doubt that Sue will carve a niche for herself. t v enty VALERIE MOOLMAN CAPETOWN. SOUTH AFRICA VAL Two years at M. V. Sc Hockey Varsity ' 44; Bandage Rolling ' 44 - ' 45 ; Optima ' 44- ' 45, Val has the amazing and enviable faculty of being able to present an excellent argument and, in turn, to be an attentive listener. This charac- teristic alone accounts for her ability to mix with people, both old and young. Having lived in South Africa, England, and America, Val has varied and interesting ideas. CATHERINE ELIZABETH OSGOOD BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS BETH One year at M. V. Sc Switchboard ' 44 - ' 45 r Lend-A-Hand Representative 44—45. Facing a task of all work and no play as the class representative to Lend-a-Hand. Beth did a fine job. Armed with her warm friendliness and cheerful disposition, it is no wonder that this attractive brunette succeeded. Lots of fun and gifted with originality, Beth is a popular girl. TWENTY-ONE WILMOTH ROL PAULETT WASHINGTON. D. C. ROL One year at M. V. S,; War Bond Committee , 44-“45. Few girls can stake their claim to fame on being perfectly natural, and ' Paulett RoH is one of those few. Her excellent sense of humor quickly gained her many friends at Mount Vernon, Ath- letically inclined and a good sport, Rol, we know, will do well in her chosen carreer — that of a Phy- sical Education Director. CAROL RAYMOND HAMILTON, MASSACHUSETTS XAPPY One year at M. V. S.; Varsity Hoefcey ' 44; Class Treasurer 44 ' 45: Salvage Committee ’44- 45, One rarely finds such a combination of ability in studies and athletics as we have found in Gappy. These dual interests are largely responsible for Carol s prominence at Mount Vernon. Her sin- cerity is one of her many attributes and has won her many friends. ' I W l N T Y - T Vr Q JOYCE LYNETTE ROSENFELD BATTLE CREEK, MICHIGAN TONI One yea t at M. V, $.; Glee Club 44- ' 45; Art Editor of Yearbook ' 44- ' 45. There was no question in the class as to who should head the art staff of the yearbook. Toni ' s individuality and artistic ability permitted no alternative. If the examples of her work found in this book are typical, although they are her first publications, we are sure they will not be the last. MARGARET ANN TR16BY WASHINGTON, a C. TRI BBY ' ‘ Three years at M r V. S.; Hockey Varsity ' 4 3 - 1 44 ; President of Preparatory School War Bond Committee 44-45, Tribby ' s main contribution to our class, and to the school as a whole, besides running a super bus line between sports and school, has been her exceptional prowess on the Varsity Hockey Team. However, Margaret has not shone solely as hockey fullback, but also has been an ardent member of the War Bond Committee wh ich has greatly benefited by her participation. p: n i y - T H K i i CAROLYN RUSSELL WALKER PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND LYNN One yecir at M. V T S.; Vice-President Class 44- 45; Treas- urer Glee Club 44- 45; Bandage Rolling ' 44- ' 45, Lynn’s ready enthusiasm combined with her quick sense of humor have made her one of the most popular members of our class. Elected to the office of vice-president In her first year at Mount Vernon, Carolyn has shown qualities of leader- ship and ability that have contributed to the unity and spirit of our class. CATHERINE VIRGINIA WHITTAKER SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA M KAY Three years at M. V, S.; Little Theatre ' 42- ‘45; War Bond Committee 44 45: Episcopal Canteen 44 45, Even on blue Monday, we could count on Kay to be at school early and to greet us with a bright smile and a cheerful Hi . People like that are the ones who keep the ball rolling. And yet, Kay has a never-failing sense of humor, added to all her pep, which makes her a grand friend. i w L N j y - I OUR MARGARET ANNE WINFREY DALLAS, TEXAS PEG Three years at M. V. S.: War Bond Committee ' 43 ' 44; Switchboard ' 44- ' 45 ' Hockey Varsity ' 42- ' 43, Texas has a strong supporter in Peg. Her easy friendliness and ability to have a good time any- where are characteristics which cannot be over- looked, We ' ll all miss that blond hair and cheer- ful conversation.

V. S. at JVar The War Bond Committee has functioned under the leadership of Margaret Trlbby. There are forty-five girls participating in the sale of bonds and stamps, each girl selling war stamps in the sales-booth, which is open during every academic day. Our goal has been a Hospital Plane, the price of which is $125,000, and all of the proceeds from the sale of War Bonds and Stamps have gone toward this end. In order to promote the sale of bonds and stamps, the members of the group held an auction in December, at which candy, chewing gum, ar.d cigarettes, rare commodities nowadays, brought large amounts in War Bonds and Stamps; they sponsored a style show with M. V. S. students wearing Garfinckel ' s clothes; and they arranged a demonstration of an Army “Weasel . A sergeant in the Army exhibited the features of this amphibious vehicle and, to our disappointment, emphatically answered our unasked question as to whether we couldn ' t have a ride. Bandage Rolling this year has been under the supervision of Miss Carter and has been directed by Mrs. Gould of the American Red Cross. Many different-sized bandages were rolled by the students who took part in this activity. Eight students participated in the First Aid Classes which met for two- hour sessions every Tuesday afternoon under the direction of Mrs. Laura Miller. Credit for Volunteer Service was accorded each girl for satisfactory work. At an impressive chapel service, Mr. Lloyd awarded certificates to the girls who had successfully completed the course. Lockle Morns, chairman of the Salvage Committee, organized the twenty girls who enrolled in this activity for an extensive salvage campaign under the faculty supervision of Miss Crabtree. Brightly labeled barrels were placed in the hall for the collection of the scrap which was brought in. The campaign covered the collection of fats, metals, paper, books, magazines, and phono- graph records. In another of our War Activities ten girls learned how to handle the switchboard from Mrs. Smith, our school telephone operator. Each qirl spent a minimum of one hour a week at the switchboard, and, at the completion of the course, each student was equipped to handle any switchboard in a time of emergency. thirty-two FIRST ROW: Valerie Moolman, Bimba Cox, Hope Raymond, Margaret Arbuckle, Barbara Buckley.

FACULTY ADVISORS: Miss Crabtree, Salvage: Miss Hastings, War Bonds: Miss Smith, Switchboard, The girls pictured here represent only a fraction of the students taking part in the War Activities. All of the War Activities, a fundamental part of this year ' s curriculum, met with the enthusiastic support and approval of the complete school as we welcomed the opportunity to do our part”. Although participation in some War Activity was compulsory, all of the students willingly gave their free hours in order to insure Mou nt Vernon ' s attainment of the goal it had set in the War Program. A great deal of the success of our War Program was due to the work of the faculty who unstintingly gave their time. The careful organization of the Activities was evidence of the collaboration of the faculty advisors and the student leaders of the various activities. The work of the faculty plus the work of the students resulted in the success of the War Activities.

Adrian Dunn, Marjorie Nevins, Frances LucIceH PRESIDENT Marqaret Hsmqer TREASURER Martha Woodburn SECRETARY Barbara Cole FACULTY ADVISOR Mrs, Knapp Despite the lack of our own theatre facilities, the Little Theatre has given, under the expert direction of Hilary Knapp, three productions during the 1 944-45 season. In November three entertaining one-act plays, “Petticoats Preferred and scenes from both Pride and Prejudice and Alice in Wonderland , were given at the Chevy Chase Women ' s Club. The Christmas offering was a series of tableaux presented in connection with the Glee Club at the Methodist Church. The Midsummer Night ' s Dream was produced at the Chevy Chase Women ' s Club in April after our Spring Vacation. Students join the Little Theatre by choice alone and are given try-outs by the old members. Acting is by no means the only talent stressed. By rotation the members act in one play, and work with props, make-up, or costumes in the next. thirty- i our Optima FIRST ROW: Nancy Doyle. Mias Agnes Delano. Mrs. Lloyd. Margaret Ranney Sally Lane.

Margaret Ranney SECRETARY-TREASURER Mary Ellen Davis FACULTY ADVISORS, Miss Agnes de La no Mrs. Lloyd The aim of the Optima Club is to maintain and to strengthen high standards of scholarship and achievement in the Preparatory School and Junior College. Members of Optima who have graduated and the faculty advisors, Miss Agnes DeLano and Mrs. Lloyd, comprise the honorary members of the club. Active members of the Preparatory School are those who have attained three joint Citizenship and Academic honor rolls; the active members of the Junior College have attained three consecutive President ' s Lists. The co- presidents of the Club are Margaret Ranney from the Junior College and Sally Lane from the Preparatory School. The Club decided, in 1938, to adopt and support a little C zech refugee. This was the Club ' s project until 1944. at which time Otto no longer required our help. This year we have undertaken to provide books to be distributed by the American Merchant Marine ' s Library Association, T HIRTY- V E Always an important factor in the social life of Mount Vernon, the school dances have been continued this year under the direction of the Social League and Its sponsors, Mrs, Lind- say and Miss Carter. Presided over by Judy Easley, this year ' s Social League was composed of a representative from each Form and two Faculty advisers. In Its meetings plans were formulated for the several dances given throughout the year For the boarders, there have been small dances at Glenbrook and Gates- ley. The larger dances were given for all the Forms at the Wesfey Heights Club and the Sulgrave Club. Surprisingly enough for Washington, we always had a full stag line. The pictures on these pages are Indicative of the enjoyment which everyone shared at the first dance of the season — a dance which was par- THIRTY-SIX JlzCLQUZ ticularly welcome because of the fact that It was held at the termination of our seige of mid-year exams. This, as one of the larger dances of the year, was held at the Wesley Heights Club. Perhaps more so thrs year than in others, the Social League has been forced to work under difficulties. The full stag lines were the result of end- less telephoning on the part of the Social League members. The diffi- culties in securing food were success- fully surmounted by Mrs. Goodrich, as was affirmed by all those who en- joyed the refreshments at the dances. Probably the most difficult ques- tion to answer was that of where could we find a good orchestra, in these days and times? Jack Morton ' s or- chestra provided an ideal solution, and it !s to his music that we owe much of the success of the dances.

PRESIDENT Gertrude Stewart SECRETARY Nona Miller VICE-PRESIDENT Peggy Marriam TREASURER Carolyn Walker FACULTY ADVISOR Mrs. Lucker Although the Glee Club is an optional activity in the school, its membership this year has been large. Students from both the Preparatory School and the Junior College have participated in the several excellent programs offered by the Club. Under the able direction of Mrs. Lucker, the choir collaborated with the Little Theatre in presenting a series of Christmas tableaux. The musical accompaniment, coupled with the expert interpretation by the Little Theatre, symbolized the true Christmas spirit. Especially outstanding among the songs presented were Adeste Fideles, and Ann Carter ' s solo, Lulay, Little Child. Early in the year, the group began making plans for a recital to be held May 10 at the Sulgrave Club. The program was composed of the combined contributions of Madame Elbogen ' s piano students, Madame Duschak’s ' voice students, and Mrs Lucker ' s choir. i n i k r y - i: i c h r Sports Athletic Association FIRST ROW; Bimba Co , Sally Lane Esther Hall.

Hold on, hold on — we realize that there is always one who, for the pure sake of being different, will disagree with what everyone says — there ' s always one in every crowd; but this time we are infallible, for even this person is deprived of a leg to stand on when con- fronted with pure logic In an opening statement; even the most bitter cynic cannot deny that it is utter foolishness to attempt badminton in two feet of snow. Therefore, we reiterate. The Season Dictates the Sport . With Fall came hockey, badminton, riding, and military drill. Although the school was temporarily deprived of athletic facilities, the addition of the field behind 4020 assured hockey its place as a major sport at Mount Vernon. During this season several interscholastic games were scheduled with near-by FORI schools. Six members of the teams represented M. V. S. at the interscholastic try-outs for a private school hockey team. Esther Hall and Margaret Tribby were chosen, much to Mount Vernon ' s credit. Of the above mentioned four, Military Drill was the only compulsory activity. Marines from American University were our Instructors, and the sight of the U. S. M. C. stationwagon soon became a familiar one to all. Monday saw the hockey field covered with marching formations. The cadence and commands of the Marines, at first quite weird and strangely unintelligible, soon became almost clear. What ' s more, we found that we could actually, execute some of the maneuvers ordered, such as, About Face , Left and Right Oblique , Column Left, March , To the Rear, March . Winter came, and with it came two feet of snow — now s your chance, cynics, let ' s see you try your badminton. The rest of us decided it would be much easier to settle for swimming, basketball, and barn dancing. Both swim- ming classes and basketball practices were held at the Y , the dancing in the recreation room of the Methodist Church. A swimming meet, basketball games, and a dancing exhibition were scheduled. The snow melted and with Spring came the return of badminton and military drill and two new sports, volley ball and archery. Again our hockey field saw double duty, serving as both drill ground and archery range. Proud of our accomplishments in military drill, we staged a review to conclude the athletic program for 1944-45.

Como repre- sentante del arte de tos Estados Unidos, Bloomer Girl sera reci- bido por los habitantes de la America del Sur con entusi- asmo. Yo espero que esta pelf- cula permanezca en los teatros de los Estados Unidos y de la America del Sur por largo tiempo. Senorita Maria Carroll Mrs. Lloyd and I have man- aged this theater for more than twenty-five years and during that time we have shown some really excellent movies. But I must admit that this Bloomer Girl show is undoubtedly the finest that I have ever seen or shown in my theater. The direc- tion, the production, the cos- tumes, music, scenery, photog- raphy — all are practically perfect. To say that It is the best I have ever seen would not be an exaggeration. Mr. Lloyd. I do not claim to be too well informed concerning the merits of such technicalities as photog- raphy, direction, and music; however, I can vouch for the ex- cellence of the costumes and scenery in Miss Raymond ' s new- est production, Bloomer Girl. I have never seen work of a supe- rior caliber presented in any recent movie. It is superb! Miss Munn. 1J. v C’est manifique! C ' est mar- veilleux! Eh? Ah, oui, mais oul, je parle du film.

Madame Gallin. «■ ;j Having directed many suc- cessful dramatic undertakings, I feel that I am qualified to criti- cize this new movie, Bloomer Girl. I can honestly say that it is one of the most enjoyable and artfully presented pictures that I have ever seen. The charac- ters are understanding por- trayed and the scenery, cos- tumes, and music excellent. To Miss Raymond, I offer my heart- iest congratulations.

The models were girls from M. V. S., and we wore Garfinckel’s clothes. The halls, accustomed to the sound of moccasins and saddle shoes shuffling to and from classes, for one afternoon gloried in the sophisticated tapping of heels as we, and the clothes, were shown to best advantage. The plain white schoolroom walls became a riot of green and white and of the brilliant colors of gay spring flowers. Under the professional instruction of Miss Barbara Bradley, from Gar- finckel’s. we learned to ascend the steps leading to the platform placed in the center of the hall, and to pirouette gracefully. The hall never seemed so long as when, with our hearts in our throats, we walked down the aisles tn order that the audience might admire the clothes. The success of the show seemed assured when we saw the large crowd congregated about our avenue of fashion . The War Bond and Stamp sales, amounting to over a thousand dollars, con stituted a great step forward toward our goal, a flying ambulance. FIFTY -ON F. FIFTY-TWO FIFTY- T H R E F THE LISTENER AND THE TALE Anne Henderson, Fourth Form There is no perfect definition of a tale. It is a story, but more than a story; it speaks of human beings and Implies a universe; its motives are eternal. It is told and retold, passing through many mouths. Each teller makes it a little his own, changes and colours it, sets his mark upon It for a while; but it cannot become entirely his. He must be always objective and dispassionate, being unable to alter its latent truth. For this reason there Is a singular connection between the listener and the tale. The narrator is the onlooker and critic; the listener translates and recreates, even relives the tale in his mind. He is the real teller of the tale. Thus a tale is never the same, even heard for the second time from the same person. It is a part of the listener, and changes as he changes. No other quality can be said to be common to all tales. Their field is too wide; in it is much of the literature of the world. Epic and saga, legend and myth, all are tales; the stories of the Bible are tales; the earliest recorded narratives of any people are most often tales. The miracles of the medieval saints were ground for tales, as were some of the wilder moments of history. They flourished among the common people; in the courts the romances of chivalry had taken their place. The first of these were tales, some of them, but later, when romances had become both artificial and In demand, the spirit of the tales sickened. 4 Since then a few writers have undertaken to relate tales. Some have succeeded, perhaps in allegory, or fantasy, or fairy-stories. Children now listen to these and tell them, or stories of their own making, to each other. Some of these children never lose the grace of telling tales or listening to them. They were born with humour and a love of humanity; they acquire learning and experience without losing faith. They listen and remember, for they understand that every tale is greater than all its parts, as a human being is, and that this greatness is the essence of life. I MTV- F O L II HOW WOULD YOU SAY IT?
