THE 1935 TATLER Anne Per-Lee Mary Louise Picket Scene: Lunchroom at 12:15. Scene: Senior room. Time: During measles epidemic. (Dickie is seated in otherwise empty lunchroom conccntratcdly eating crackers. Sally languishes up and sits down.) (Dickie, sniffing the air): What are we having for lunch, I wonder?” Not that it matters, because I never cat anything anyhow. (Butters fifth cracker, using Sally’s butter.) By the way, 1 still have my appendix in a bottle. Would you like to come over this afternoon and see them? Maybe there’ll be some cakes left from Mother’s tea.” (Crackers give out and she starts on the raisin bread.) Pat and I played polo yesterday and had heaps of fun; almost as much fun as I had at White Sulphur this vacation.” (Fifth piece of bread disappears.) There goes the bell, but I don’t feel hungry anymore; come on, Mary Lou, let’s go. (Enter Mary Lou, zinc oxide spots covering her peaches and cream complexion. Takes book from locker, goes into closet, and is consequently forgotten. When, in the course of time the closet becomes stuffy and she emerges. Tommy approaches her saying that the school thinks that she (Tommy) has measles.) Mary Lou: Ooh — squeak — really? Stay away from me. 1 don’t want them! What would they do to my face?” (Races to other side of room. Picking up a box.) Have you seen my bat? He’s so cute. I killed him in my room last night. Hmm—Think I’ll go dissect him.” (Exits.)

THE 1935 TATLER Nancy Lou Mackall Scene: Miss Mercer’s room during free period. (Spiff is perusing various back issues of Scholastics and Stages. Suddenly—calling back to Toots in the senior room): Who’s going to take us home today? . . . No one? . . . Hmm . . . guess we’ll have to walk . . .’’ (pause—then audibly so Ilumpy will hear): You’re sure no one will give us a ride? Tell Hump I’ll buy her a hamburger at Bill and Earl’s if she will” . . . (pause) . . . Hey! people. Council meeting tomorrow (musing). I'd better do last Friday’s math.” (Suddenly — hearing a ringing in her ears, she shoos girls to class five minutes ahead of time.) Mary Gluek McDonald Stcnei Back hill at 3:20. (Gicky is plodding patiently upward, probably thinking. Suddenly an unusually brilliant idea occurs to her and she stops.) Oh, I forgot! My car is parked out in front. If you’ll wait while I get it, you can have a ride.” (Fifteen minutes drag by—then a chug is heard and (Jicky is discovered settled in a large Franklin. She peers thoughtfully about her for cars and suddenly starts ahead jerkily. She pauses a few minutes after being addressed, then): No. What? Oh. (Later): Oh, I stay for sports, ’cause 1 like to jump around to give my eyes a rest. (On being reminded a little later that she is going the wrong way she says): Oh, my car just goes home by itself.

THE 1935 TATLER Janet Cole Rutherford Amelia Elizabeth Smith Scenes Lunch tabic at 12:15. Scene: Behind school at 2:45. (Enter Janet. Dashes to a table, crosses silverware, tips glasses upside down and scrawls on the napkins. This denotes the place is saved. As tinkling sound is heard, bows her head, mutters something which passes for grace and sits down.) Do you want soup? What kind? Rhubarb or asparagus, I guess.—You serve. I served yesterday.” (Cup of cocoa lands in lap.) EDITH.” I’ve got to make an announcement, ring for me will you?” (Makes announcement with I'.astcrn accent. Sits down and soon has Spiff draped in shredded lettuce while an aspic quivers deliciously on the floor)— Hurry, and we’ll go shoot baskets.” (Aster, Betty’s little blue car, is stuffed with girls who look slightly tired of waiting. Betty dashes out the back door, dripping books down the steps—one wonders how she can be so eternally late when she’s always hurrying.) Betty: Wait! Wait for me! I have an appointment at 2:30, but I have plenty of time to take you out to Wayzata for a minute.” My father’s given me my allowance three times this week and I’ve spent it all. Is this where you want to get off?” (To herself): I wonder if I’ll be able to make my hair stay down by tonight?” See picture. Page 14
