One To Go THE study hall was unsupervised, a dangerous thing in itself. Lavinia’s undertone, the only thing which disturbed the quiet of the room, was soon silenced by the threat of a demerit and by several impolite ejaculations on the part of Dcbby and Esther. Helen Jane looked out of the corner of her eye to see if anyone was watching her. Then she drew a stick of rubbery substance wrapped in green paper from her pocket. She knew the consequences if she should be caught, and she also knew that her restless jaws would not escape the watchful eye of Anne. They never had yet. She remembered how mortified she had been when she had to go before the room council. Now, as she thought of herself standing meekly before the supreme assembly, the League, she began to quake; for this was to be her fate if she were given one more misdemeanor check. Was this choice morsel wrapped in green worth it? Again she looked around to see if the vigilant eye was upon her. Everyone was busily studying. Suddenly she thought of the old saying, There is a first time for everything.” Perhaps this was to be the time when she would not be caught. As she started to remove the outside paper, she noticed that Catherine glanced up from her book and looked over at her. Immediately Helen Jane was deep in her Latin translation. She tried again and this time had just taken off the inside wrapping of tinfoil when the door was startlingly opened by Miss Sadley. The wastebasket received a whole stick of unchewed gum and Miss Sadley a thankful smile as Helen Jane realized how narrow her escape had been. H. J. S. Page Nineteen

Freshman Idiosyncrasies SPORT ITEMS HOCKEY Freshmen tie Seniors in spectacular game. Ward and Hammerel lead lower class-men to 6 to 1 victor)'. BASKETBALL Patty Bagley trips over own large pedal extremities, then rises, gazing sheepishly at the audience, while Miss Ogan calls two more personal fouls on her. ARCHERY Betty Andrus is the only one of us who can come within two feet of the target. We wish her luck. ONE MINUTE SERMONS Ye who have red hair, blush not. Ye who have wit (Mary Partridge, this is for you) try writing next year’s Tatler page. SCHOOL NEWS DAY BY DAY Tiny and Tcpa struggle for supremacy in Patty Book” literature. Tiny completes set (27 books) 2 hrs., 3 5 min. before Tcpa. We trust their craving for higher literature has been appeased. Oliv’ Carpenter attains posture check record—29 to date; more pouring in. Kay Price saunters nonchalantly down the corridor, followed by the worshipping glances of certain members of the 8th Grade. Sue W., eminent artist, satisfies wolfish hunger in French class. Results—disastrous. Kay Boynton, rising amid expectant hush, reads wholcly unintelligible theme. Betty Oakes tears pink (naturally wavy) hair as no funds for the Entertainment Committee pour in. We all envy the adaptability of Mary Jane’s coats to the weather. There is the below zero one, and one when it is just zero, and one when the Fahrenheit is slightly above. More study periods are interrupted by the continuous giggles of Dolly and Harriet. We rise in body and cheer as Ruth and Mary M. arrive on time. We hear Barbara’s hair is due to go up. Wc first heard this last fall. Mary F. and Shakie rejuvenate that school-girl complexion’’ after lengthy conference with compacts. Janet’s pet pet word— monkey”. By request of Sally C., we wish to make a correction to a statement in the ’29 Tatler. The afore mentioned S. C. is neither sweet, meek, nor mild. BELIEVE IT OR NOT Betty Carey obtained an A average in everything for term. For further proof, see faculty. PERSONAL COLUMN Helen—When you were treasurer, how did you like it when no one brought her dues? Alice—Silence is golden. (?) Editor’s office—The Kindergarten. (Maybe that explains it.)
