THE 1935 TATLER Louise Thompson Scene: Senior room at 9:00. (Enter true-blond Tommy, lately of L.a Crosse. Stealthily she fumbles in her jumper, extracts bits of a sandwich, a jar of malted milk and half a doughnut.) I’m trying to get fat, you know. Here, want a bite? 1 haven’t eaten since 7:00 and I can’t wait till milk-lunch at 10:00.” (She perches carelessly on a table with one leg draped over the radiator.) All’s I do is sit around waiting for Friday to come. Honestly, these people! Wouldn’t you think—?” (She flings herself dramatically on the couch.) Wake me up when the bell rings. Would you just pull down the shades and turn on the radio before you go out?” Betty Vogtel Scene: Senior room during seventh period. (Betty is rapidly but accurately, as usual doing her Math for a week from Monday, while a couple of the few senior room occupants arc performing gymnastics on the rug. Suddenly—from the figure drooped over the Math book): Did you hear Bing last night? Gosh, he was swell!” (A slight pause.) Gosh! I forgot I have to telephone my dad. Jinny, won’t you come down with me? (No answer, then pleadingly): I’ll give you a ride home if you do — that is — if I can.” (Jinny dashes for the door and they go down the hall, Vogtel expostulating on the cute suit in Mc-Glenn’s window.)

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

THE 1935 T A T L E R Elizabeth Rittenhouse Williams Scene: Senior room any study period. (Betty peers in door, looking around cautiously.) Has anyone been looking for me? I’m supposed to be in the library, but I’m not supposed to study because of my eyes. Will it bother you if I just sit here?” (She settles herself on the couch. She’s hardly recognizable under her dark glasses and fuzzy Friday hair.) Does anyone have a car here? Oooo, squeak, squeak—” (tickling Jinny). Can’t nobody give wide home? (A shower of books submerges her, and no sign of her existence is apparent save for a last faint squeak.) Page 16
