She had turned to her desk with its appeals and was busily writing checks for the causes she loved and supported when her tired heart faltered and in a few minutes her gracious spirit was at rest. The private services on Thursday afternoon were in harmony with her Wishes for simplicity but the thousands of beautiful flowers and the long line of noted p-ersons who mingled with humble folk for two hours before, as they came to express their esteem and love, W-ere silent testimony of the place she held. Born in a home where every luxury could have been provided, Mrs. Woodman was trained from. childhood to put charity before indulgence and throughout her long life she has thought first of the needs of others. While a student at Oak Grove some sixty y-ears ago she was as distinguished for her gentle thoughtfuln-ess and sweet generosity as for her beauty and talents. Later as she mingled in society with the learned and famous, Mrs. Woodman was sought for her social graces but she was also loved for her noble Womanliness and strength of character. While the fortune which belonged to Mrs. Woodman made it possible for her to give abundantly, her generous spirit always Went with each gift whether it were for needy children, a college stadium, a health building in India, or a nurse year after year in her town, a school, or college. Mrs. Woodman herself seldom mentioned any of her benevolences and constantly avoided publicity but it was inevitable that the giver of some of the larger gifts became known. Those who knew Mrs. Woodman most closely, how- ever, realized that while she took pleasure in handsome gifts she found even greater joy in giving of herself. The fruits which her gardener brought were carefully, frugally and skillfully transformed into jars of clear jelly and d-elicious preserves which she herself carried far and wide for the sick. Many a humble person has r-eceived his first hot house flowers from her hand. Time after time when serious illn-ess overshadowed some poor home, a trained nurse was quietly engaged. Needy and worthy students by the dozens have been helped through school and college even though others in whom she had placed confidence had disappointed her. Underpaid teachers have been given the rest and refreshment of a trip abroad, ministers have found their salaries increasedg and the convalescent have found their hos- pital expenses mysteriously paid. Quick to see and respond to the needs of others, Mrs. Woodman never indulged or even spared herself, and her zeal for thoroughness and perfection was indomitable. Mrs. Woodman gave away a fortune in relieving suffering and pro- moting Christian causes but she brought far more lasting blessings to many 5 OAK LEAVES through her personal ministry. While too refined to be obtrusive, she had a. deep intuitive sense of one's spiritual needs and the sweet sincerity of her concern as well as the strength of her own perfect faith have led many young people to decisions that have transformed and beautified their lives. Moon, worn thin to the width of a quill, In the dawn clouds flying, How good to go, light into light, and still Giving light, dying. She went about doing good and in her farseeing wisdom she has made careful provision that the causes she loved may go on through the years to come. Her spirit lives on and although Mrs. Woodman has gone, she is still giving light. There is an old Benediction that seems to have been fully granted in th-e life of Mrs. Woodman, whom to know was to love. May the Grace of God be in our hands, to bring healing and strength. May the Grace of God be in our eyes, to see Him as he is in His beauty and to find Him in our fellows. May the Grace of God be on our lips. May the Grace of 'God glow in our hearts. May the Grace of God make our lives gracious. May Peace and Sweetness, Comfort and Delight outshine from us, that all who touch us may touch in us the Gracious Jesus. no4.,' AQ, 4 OAK LEAVES PERSEPHONE Persephone, Persephone, The sap stirs warm in the maple tree.

We have always appre- ciated it, and we are more grateful than ever, in these times of economic distress, to the staunch friends who are continuing their support. We also realize that some who have felt compelled to suspend ,such favors will be only too happy to resume them as soon as business improves. We also appreciate the generosity of our teachers who have contributed to our funds, the cooperation of scores of students who have submitted so many more articles than we could print, and the unselfish devotion of Mrs. Owen who has again given time and strength as our faculty adviser. 6 O A K L E A v E s WORLD POWER PRESENTS MEDAL TO OAK GROVE Although it has been well known for some time that the French Depart- ment at Oak Grove has been doing brilliant work, yet it was a thrilling surprise to all of us when we realized that the Republic of France had select- ed Oak Grove among all the private schools in New England upon which to bestow a medal. We had been told that there would be distinguished French guests here on January nineteenth and Oak Grove wanted to honor them by presenting a program entirely in French, but all .the time we felt a little bit of mystery in our preparations as we Worked on Les Femmes Savantes and the speeches we were preparing. As th-e day drew nearer Mrs. Owen told us there was a secret which would please us very much and then she invited us all to the banquet with which the ceremonies were to begin. Among the guests of honor were more than twenty representatives of the French government and Cercle Francais. The banquet was formal but with all the vivacity of our French friends, we shall never forget the dining room that night by candlelight with its international and intensely interesting atmosphere. Our guests gathered again at eight o'clock in the Assembly Hall where Mlle. Guilb-eau welcomed them and the Oak Grove Chorus sang La Marseil- laise. M. Harold Dubord, National Committeeman and friend of Ambassa- dor Andre de la Boulaye, described in gracious terms the work of Oak Grove which had merited this honor by a world power interested in promoting friendly relations with the United States and its best institutions. He spoke in part as follows: For fifteen years I have watched this school on its beautiful hilltop above the winding Kennebec. I have seen it grow under the quiet but far- seeing leadership of Principal and Mrs. Owen, until it led in its own State and established such a wid-e reputation for scholarship, culture and charac- ter development that discriminating parents have sent their daughters not only across the length and breadth of our great country but also from for- eign lands to be trained at Oak Grove. The French Department has been unusual and brilliant for more than ten years. Because of the high quality of both the class and extra-curricula work, because of the excellence shown by Oak Grove students in inter- scholastic competition in French, because of the record of its graduates in four of the famous universities of France, this medal, with the honor which it symbolizes, is awarded to Oak Grove School in the name of the great Re- public of France. M. Jules Savarin delivered an address with the vivacity and noblesse of a French gentleman. M. Rossiter Marcou charmed us by two solos. M. Auguste Bocquel, lecturer and artist, expressed his admiration of Oak Grove in French of literary beauty. The students of Mlle. Guilbeau then entertained for the enjoyment of the guests of honor with a group of French songs, and addresses in French 7 OAK LEAVES by two of the students. Some of our French students with a. real feeling for their parts appeared in Moliere's famous comedy Les Femmes Savantes . It was a very wonderful evening for us and we are still quite breathless with all the honor that has come to us, but at the same time we are also working very hard in order that we may continue worthy of the medal which has been presented to us by the Republic of France. WHAT IS YOUR ANSWER? Whether or not a person is a good student, careful Workman or a suc- cessful member of society depends upon his response to this question: Is he interested in what he is doing? The answer of the successful man is always Yes but the failure invariably replies, No , There are two interests which everyone should cultivate in order to be useful to society and neces- sary in his position. He should b-e animated by a dominant urge which will forever demand the best of him as well as his best for others. He should also have a genuine interest in the world in which he lives so that he may find the relation of his duties to the tasks in the World and their relation to forming a b-etter society. 8 OAK LEAVES LOUIS SEIZE As a gracious tribute to the culture of the World Power which has pre- sented a Medal to Oak Grove, a period guest room is being furnished with rare pieces of Louis Seize which it has taken months to collect. One of the Hnest pieces is a mahogany desk that formerly belonged to a French Countess. All of this has been made possible through the generosity of Harry Harrison of Worcester, Massa- chusetts, a loyal member of the Board of Managers of Oak Grove. RECOGNITION IN THREE LANGUAGES When letters from distant states and even foreign countries congratu- lated us on the receipt of a medal from the Republic of France, Mrs. Owen said that although great care had been taken in developing a superior French Department, yet equal attention had been spent on the other depart- ments and they could be excellent even though there were no medals for them. Imagine our thrill when we learned in May that in an international anthology of the best poetry by children of all nations, our own Stella Carvell has actually had not one, but three poems selected as the best for the Eng- lish section. Moreover, a special compliment has come from the editor. Stella is a real Oak Grove product who entered Oak Grove in the Junior Department in 1929 when only eleven and whose mother before her was a stud-ent here. Stella had two little poems selected last year for a new an- thology of Modern American poetry. Mrs. Owen is ever ambitious for her girls and it was she who submitted these poems. Yet that is not all. She includ-ed another lovely one, Noc- turne by the brilliant Spanish student Esth-er Arango who was formerly at Oak Grove-and that has al-so been accepted with its English translation by our little Senorita. No school, however large, should expect recognition for brilliant work in more than three different languages in one year. 9 OAK LEAVES l 7 n N5 A I I ' W A7 49 4 9 Nwow fu .T Osnvdl .m mwwniggm, e.g..q.tgg' .writ 5 1 XII A ,-.' 6-.A .

When people had told me what a wonderful view I had, sometimes I had remarked that on a clear day they could see the White Mountains from the highest window. Tomorrow I was going away. For the last time I turned to watch the river winding through its veil of willows. Tonight the sunset was a scarlet Hame, flaring up behind those distant hills, and their outlines were black and determined against its glow. I saw them, all the unchang- ing ruggedness of them, all the tenderness of a strength that could hold field and farmhouse nestling safely in its armsg I saw and felt them now, realizing there would be a loneliness where there were no hills. They were not food, they were not shelter, but they had become neces- sary to me as the beauty, the poetry of life. Poetry itself is neither food nor shelter to us, but it can become very necessary in bringing us the beauty in life. The discovery of a beautiful poem can bring as much pleasure as the sight of jagged mountains against a flaming sunset. Poetry has a new meaning when it finds expression for the half-formed thought that has troubled us for long! How often the failure of our ambitious plans has left us with a feeling of empty darkness, as though a beautiful piece of music were broken off before it reached its climax. We could not express that feeling, but one day we discovered Sara Teasdale's poem, The Tune. I know a certain tune that my life playsg Over and over I have heard it start With all the wavering loveliness of viols And gain in swiftness like a runner's heart. 10 OAK LEAVES It climbs and climbs, I watch it sway in climbing High over time, high even over doubt, It has all heaven unto itself-it pauses And, faltering blindly down the air, goes out. Or perhaps we have lost some proud title, and, like the Roman Cicero, We think this very thing most wretched, not to be when one has been. Then we have read the same poet's Mountain Water and there has been comfort. You have taken a drink from a wild fountain Early in the year, There is nowhere to go from the top of a mountain But down, my dearg And the springs that flow on the Hoor of the valley Will never seem fresh or clear For thinking of the glitter of the mountain water In the feathery green of the year. During the last few years there has been a movement in poetry, an attempt to present its old emotions in a new and striking dress. The new poetry is full of surprises and unexpected phrases, with a wealth of unusual and exact description. Even the form of the new verse is differentg it is not measured by feet and by lines, but by the strophe, by cadences, and by time units. The sonnet form has been a favorite of poets since first it was used. Although it, too, has undergone changes, it is always, as Richard Watson Gilder describes the sonnet, a little picture painted well. It is interesting to contrast a sonnet of Shakespeare's, such as When in disgrace with for- tune and men's eyes, with one by the modern Writer, Edna St. Vincent Millay. Oh, oh, you will be sorry for that word! Give back my book and take my kiss instead. Was it my enemy or my friend I heard, 'What a big book for such a little head !' Come, I will show you now my newest hat, And you may watch me purse my mouth and prink! Oh, I shall love you still and all of that. I never again shall tell you what I think. I shall be sweet and crafty, soft and sly, You will not catch me reading any more: I shall be called a wife to pattern byg And some day when you knock and push the door, Some sane day, not too bright and not too stormy, I shall be gone, and you may whistle for me. 11 OAK LEAVES In nature poems, the difference between modern and classic verse is as strong. The first four lines of James Russell Lowell's popular poem, To a Dandelion : Dear common fiower, that growest beside the way, Fringing the dusty road with harmless gold, First pledge of blithesome May, Which children pluck, and, full of pride, uphold,- are sufficient to show the contrast in Hilda Conkling's Dandelion : O little soldier with the golden helmet, What are you guarding on my lawn? You with your green gun And your yellow beard, Why do you stand so stiff ? There is only the grass to fight! The simplicity and directness in Hilda Conkling's poem are as attrac- tive and refreshing as the dandelion itself when it first shows gold in the springtime. The contrast is equally striking in other types of poetry. Crossing the Bar has been called the most nearly perfect poem, in poetic feeling and harmony of rhythm to thought, that has ever been written in the English language. The image lives for every reader, just as Tennyson con- ceived it: the beach with the sunset streaming over it, the long wash of the waves in the sandg the far-off tolling of bells, and the clear birth of the evening star. All is pictured in the rhythm of the lines as clearly as in the words. There is no discordant note. In Sara Teasdale's last book of verse we find a few fragile lines, different in form from Tennyson's but giving in delicate imagery the same thought, the soul reunited with the Infinite. All that was mortal shall be burned away, All that was mind shall have been put to sleep, Only the spirit shall awake to say What the deep says to the deep, But for an instant, for it too is fleeting- As on a field with new snow everywhere, Footprints of birds record a brief alighting In flight begun and ended in the air. No one can define poetry, it cannot be learned or taught, only felt. Many scholars and poets have tried to express what it has meant to them: one has said that a true poem is a gallery of picturesg another, a Greek poet, tells us that it is a speaking picture and that painting is mute poetryg nearly all of them agree that poetry is the language of great emotions and that it reflects or pictures life. 12 OAK LEAVES Just for myself, I like to think that one day Truth and Beauty were standing before the first mirror, disputing who was the fairer, until J ove, wearied of their quarrelling, hurled a thunderbolt which shattered the mirror with the images it held, and sent the brilliant fragments floating far and wide. Perhaps, when a poet captures a tiny bit of Beauty or of Truth in one of his poems, perhaps it is a particle of the shattered mirror. Each time anyone gives form to a beautiful thought or a bit of Truth, he is helping to gather the fragments and to restore the broken images. And it may be-I like to think so-that one day, when all the scattered pieces are found, Truth and Beauty shall stand before us, perfect and eternal. SEVEN BRAVE BOATS LOST THEIR LOVELY FIGUREHEADS BITTERSWEET AND BAYBERRY Gay bittersweet with baylberry, In gleaming copper bowledg A brilliancy and softness met In mellow beams of gold. One, flaunting red and yellow balls, With vivid freedom playsg The other closely holds each bunch Of greenish silvern grays. SUSAN CHANDLER, '34. 13 OAK LEAVES A REVERIE There is a little whitewashed gate beneath a champak tree with its fragrant, creamy flowers calling me back again to the dear thatched bun- galow with its matted ceiling and broad verandas. The old well sweep is still there and the tulip tree with its yellow blossoms beyond the hedge where I used to pick orange berries. Out in the back yard a little brown goat is grazing under the cotton tree and beyond are the fields that have seen many a rollicking game of London Bridge or Drop the Handker- chief. Balak is dusting in the parlor and the piano is in the same old corner where it used to be. Even though its keys have an added mellowness yet they recall the simple tunes of Baa-Baa Black Sheep and Butterfly that I first learned to play. My eyes wander to the large bookcase by the door. Robin Hood is there, and Dr, Doolittle, and all my favorite books that bring back fond memories of childish desires to become a hero clad in green or a Maid Marion waiting for her lover. I turn to speak to Balak, who was always so jolly and kind, but the accents of a once familiar tongue stick in my throat and the Eastern language that was once so fluent now seems foreign. I gaze once more at the beautiful champak tree with its fragrant Howers before I close the little gate behind me and turn down the white road that leads to the West and the world of today. F. M., '34. SECURITY So late-one minute to midnight now- But throw another log on the dying fire! For you are to be my very own, The answer to all my heart's desire. The great hall clock strikes solemnlyg The air outside is sharp and coldg But we are safe by the firelight's cheer, While the leaping flames burn blue and gold. MARY TAYLOR, '34. 14 OAK LEAVES THREE CENTURIES OF TRADITION Nestled far up among the Bavarian Alps that tower above it lies a tiny village with doll-like houses between the blossoming trees. The streets are immaculate and all is so quaint that one might never guess that this remote place attracted pilgrims from all over the world who come to see the simple village folk enact the Passion Play in keeping with the vow they made three centuries ago. A terrible pestilence raged about Oberammergau in 1632, taking eighty-four of the inhabitants of this little town. The following year the Council made a vow to enact the Passion Week of Christ's life once each decade if their village might be spared. Ever since then the plague has never returned and the people have kept their sacred vow as devout serv- ants through the centuries with the single exception of 1920, when the World War prevented it. The play and the life of the people are so closely interwoven and the love of fulfilling their vow is so dominant in their lives that they live in the spirit of it during the decade between each presentation. They are humble folk and for the most part are wood-carvers, sculptors and craftsmen, making beautiful altar ornaments, crucifixes and works of art with a reli- gious significance. The preparations for the play do not interfere with their daily tasks for as soon as the play is over we see them once again as simple working men and women. For instance, when we took a stroll after the play and entered one of the shops We found the tender and appealing disciple John standing behind the counter ready to receive us. Their sim- plicity and friendliness are something one can never forget. The visitorstto Oberammergau are entertained in the homes of the players and in two small hotels. Each guest is welcomed by the people with the same greeting and blessing that has been used for a long time. At eight o'clock on the morning after we arrived in Oberammergau the doors of the great theater were crowded with pilgrims who had come from every country in the world, many of whom had made a pilgrimage because of their deep religious fervor. One of the things that attracted our attention most of all was that the stage is entirely in the open while the auditorium which holds over five hundred is covered. The stage is set simply: at the right stands the house of Caip, while at the left is the house of Pilot. A narrow Roman street leads off at either side. The stage and theater are new, since the Passion Play was formerly held in a small Oberammergau churchyard. It is now in what is called Passion Meadow. The new stage is modern, with adequate arrangements for costuming, scenery and lighting, but much of the early simplicity is still maintained. Neither wigs nor facial make-up are allowed. The players train their hair and beards like the characters for which they have been selected. Fabulous sums have been offered these simple people of Oberammergau for the 15 OAK LEAVES privilege of filming their play but no price can induce them to let the sacred play become commercialized. The proceeds are used for four different pur- poses for the benefit of the community. As I left the theater at six o'clock that Sunday night my most vivid recollection was three impressive scenes, the remorse of Judas, the Cruci- fixion and the Resurrection. There had been a hard storm during the play that morning but the players went on seemingly unmindful of the rain until they carried it to a glorious finish. After the scene of the Resurrec- tion, a beam of sunlight broke through the clouds and seemed to send a heavenly benediction over all. The Passion Play is being given again this year in commemoration of its three hundredth anniversary and all who journey there to see it will feel their hearts stirred by the devoted piety and supreme sincerity of these simple Bavarian folk. M., '34 SILHOUETTES 16 OAK LEAVES TODAY Bend in the breezes and blow in the sung Life is so young yet, it's day just begun. Whisper and sigh as the butterflies play 3 Live for an hour, that hour,-today. Close in the silence as evening is falling. Love is a magic and life but a dreamg Dawning and dying, a glimpse of foreverg All of a tiny enchantment between. STELLA CARVELL, '34. EVENING IN KASHMIR The crystal waters of a winding lake are gleaming in the early twi- light except along the shore where the dark slopes of the overhanging mountains are redected in their depths. The evening breezes are caressing the shore and the poplar trees are silhouetted sharply against the sunset glow. My boat is moored for the night and as I gaze out of my window at the snowcapped mountains a thin silver moon hangs above them. In the nearby field I can see the dusky form of Ahamed, our cook, offering his evening prayer to Allah. His droned incantations rise and fall with rhyth- mic cadence. Religion is a series of solemn obligations to Ahamed and I feel such a strange fascination for his mystic devotions each evening that I watch him until I am almost a part of the ceremony. The water laps softly against our houseboat and lulled by its monotonous rhythm I am soon fast asleep. FRANCES MILLER, '34.

La chute fut fatale, elle mit la Belgique en deuil. Pendant la semainelqui suivit, les ceremonies funebres eurent lieu a Bruxelles. Le corps du roi fut expose mardi et mercredi, au grand palais, et c'est la, que pendant ces deux journees, une foule immense defila pour saluer la depouille mortelle de celui qui protegea et defendit la Belgique pendant la grande guerre. PF wk Pk Pk if Pl' Pk fl' Comme le roi avait beaucoup aime la jeunesse, le bourgemerstre de Bruxelles, en reglant Vemplacement des differents groupements, avait demande la presence des enfants des ecoles pour former la haie derriere les soldats, qui etaient ranges tout le long' du parcours. Ainsi, il arriva que, jeudi matin, jour des funerailles, nous aussi, pensionnaires des Soeurs de Ste. Marie, nous avions de bonnes places pour regarder passer le tcortege. Tous les drapeaux sont en berne. Les rues, la Rue Royale principale- ment, sont remplies de spectateurs. Partout c'est Vafiiuence de monde. Le Cortege doit partir du palais royal a 10 heures, passer devant le tombeau du soldat inconnu et prendre la Rue Royale, pres de laquelle nous avons' nos places, afin de se rendre 21 la collegiale, Sainte Gudule, pour la ceremonie religieuseg a cause de la grande foule, nous avons pris place de tres bonne heure et depuis huit heures nous sommes dans l'attente. Aujourd'hui, le Soleil ne Se montre pasg il pleut meme un peu et il y a du brouillard: le temps semble s'associer au deuil general. Il fait froid et nous frappons les pieds contre les paves humides pour nous rechauffer. Tout autour de nous, on ne parle que du roi, de la famille royale,-et ce sujet de conversation est bien aussi le n6tre: ' Hier Soir, dans le journal j'ai lu que le Prince de Galles est arrive en avion. As-tu passe devant le jardin du Palais? Ce n'est plus qu'un tapis epais de fleurs: gerbes et couronnes envoyees a la famille royale. Mais, est-ce possible qu'il est mort?

OAK LEAVES Oui, elle viendrag comme elle est vaillante! Mais combien pourtant son coeur est dechire-Elle a, parait-il, orne elle-meme la chambre ou re- posait le roi. Les conversations cessent. Tous les soldats mettent baion- nette, au canon et presentent les armes. Les ordres, Attention sont donnes, d'abord en Francais, puis repetes en ilamand. Deja, dans le lointain, on entend des chevaux. Les soldats sont attentifs--enfin, voici que s'annonce l'arrivee du cortege. Des chevaux noirs, que montent les porteurs des fanions du roi sont en tete. Et mainte- nant voici que s'avance vers nous les six chevaux noirs qui tirent l'aff1f1t de canon sur lequel est pose le cerceuil, couvert d'un drapeau tricolore. Le silence est absolug on n'entend que le grincement des chaines et des roues du canon et les pas des chevaux. Les hommes se decouvrent 3 les yeux se fixent en un long regard ou passe l'emotion, le respect, la douleur, l'ad- miration.

Il y avait assez de fleurs qu'on pourrait creuser ou planterg Il fallait, donc, les pauvres oiseaux faibles, sous le sol cacher, Ou 1'orme les ombrageait et donnait ses feuilles pour les garder? Croyais-je voir pousser, un jour, des plantes vivantes de leurs corps? Les petits! Est-ce que l'orme cache le bleu de leurs plumes encore? Toujours les iris sauvages, ou tout petits je les ai enterres, Sont beaucoup plus bleus que les autres qui poussent par le ruisselet. S. C., '34. 20 OAK LEAVES FROM OUR YOUNGER PENS A DAY'S JOURNEY The Sun opened his eyes as he heard his alarm clock going off. Was it time for him to get up so soon? What would he see today as he went his round? After eating his breakfast he went to the kitchen window and looked out upon the world. Everything seemed so cold and dreary that he decided it was time for him to wake the birds and people. He stole out so very quietly that the people didn't know he had risen until the birds began to sing. After a little while he stopped at Orion's house to see his friend but while he was there the sky filled with clouds and it began to rain. The people were sorry the Sun had gone in but they took out their umbrellas and made the best of it. After spending a few hours with Orion, the Sun came out and resumed his journey. The people were now very happy. All at once the Sun caught a glimpse of a beautiful hilltop where he saw girls riding horseback, taking pictures, playing tennis, and doing other delightful things. He smiled warmly at them and wished he could prolong his stay. Sighing with disappointment at leaving the scene of such a good time, he hurried on toward the West, travelling over a beautiful river, distant hills and then over cities and towns until he reached his home. That night he told his mother that he thought Oak Grove, with its lovely woods, terraces, flowers, and happy girls, was the best place he had seen on earth. RUTH FRANCES BROWN. FOG To leave a warm fireside and go out into a damp and drizzling fog would be agony for some but not to those who love the beauty and mystery of fog, whether on land or sea. Last summer when we went back to England, we landed first at Queenstown, Ireland, where the harbor is treacherous, especially in fog. Soon we could hear the deep boom of the lighthouse warning us to steer clear of the place where the Celtic had gone down. Presently our Duchess stopped, not daring to go farther. Many felt sorry about the fog because they had wished to see the lush Irish landscape dotted by quaint little white farmhouses, but I was content for the present to peer into the mystery of the fog and wonder what might be just beyond this white veil- 21 OAK LEAVES Suddenly we noticed that the fog was lifting, and from the fleecy banks were beginning to peep the rolling hills behind Queenstown until we saw more and more of the Irish countryside in the charm of the setting sun. The water was still hidden from us by the fleecy whiteness so that it seemed as though Ireland was floating on the clouds while the city of Queenstown, nestling below the farm-dotted hills, looked like a Paradise for any wanderer.

ELOISE DUNN, '35, 32 OAK LEAVES A MERRY MEDLEY OF SCENES 33 OAK LEAVES soriooh NOTES 119.12 'aw POST GRADUATE NOTES Although we were post graduates, about half of our number had never seen Oak Grove until the opening day when we had many pleasant sur- prises awaiting us. We especially appreciated the extra privileges that tradition gave us, beginning with the right to hold our class elections first. Miss Brown was selected as our class advisor and the following officers were elected: President, Everil Mabieg Vice-President, Ann Hughesg Sec- retary, Nancy Browng and Treasurer, June Upton. We soon discovered that we were also expected to stage the first play and chose f'Once in a Blue Moon, on October sixth. Our actors were clever in interpreting this fanciful story of an escaped prisoner who meets a lovely girl who believes in fairies. We enjoyed a delightful party on October ninth at the Wishing Well with Miss Brown and Miss Porter as our guests for an evening we shall long remember. On November ninth our class, with all of the Seniors, were invited to Rosemere by our Principals. After a jolly trip in the familiar yellow bus we spent a delightful afternoon around the open fires of their country home where we played games, listened to stories and were served refreshments. We adjourned later to the village for one of the famous church suppers with roast chicken, and all of the delectable things for which the Clinton cooks are noted. Our Principals have formed the habit of taking an entire class to their home each year for this Harvest supper. During the hockey season many of our class played on the first teams ol' both the Scarlets and the Blacks. We were indeed proud when Ann Hughes was chosen Major by the Scarlets. Although we were not bril- 34 OAK LEAVES liantly successful in basketball, we have enjoyed the games immensely. Those of us who have been devoted to riding could be seen almost any day galloping along the bridle paths or working zealously in the Ring for the spring competition, in which the blue ribbon for the beginners was won by June Upton. We've enjoyed our thrilling winter sports and the weeks have passed quickly, even when we were in the midst of our Chapel Talks. We have been entertained at many formal teas during the winter season. We also enjoyed being hostesses at our own on February fourth when Miss Brown poured for us. On the last Sunday afternoon before we went home for the Easter holidays we were guests of Mrs. Owen at a Spring Tea in the Social Room of Briggs Hall. Each upperclassman sat with her Little Sisters at little tables decorated with gay bouquets of spring flowers in a room lighted only by candles and the glow of the open fire. As we look back over a year that has seemed so short, countless little pleasures flash into our memory. We recall the jolly camp suppers at the Rendez-vous, the moonlight rides, the big surprise after the banquet, when a medal was awarded our school by the Republic of France. Our class will be widely separated next year, one girl in the South, another in the West, and some in various New England colleges. but wherever we are we shall carry with us the ideals which Oak Grove has inspired in our hearts. PICNIC LUNCHES ARE POPULAR SENIOR CLASS NOTES It was with eager expectancy that we Seniors of '34 entered the wel- coming portals of our dear Alma Mater last September. This was the year we had been patiently striving for. The privileges and honors were ours 31 OAK LEAVES nowg we were no longer the spectatorsg we were the actors. What fun it was to see all the girls again! With joy We acclaimed our old friends and classmates. How glad we were to welcome the fine new girls into our midst! The first night, Mrs. Owen, with her usual thoughtfuiness, had arranged a getting acquainted party. Everyone was immediately made to feel at home, and before the evening was well advanced we realized what a delightful group of girls we had. The first Friday night we had one of our famous camp suppers down at the Rendez-vous. The new girls entered into the spirit of informality and fun of these out-door suppers and we all enjoyed ourselves immensely. Just to prove that we knew how to be very correct we were quite sure the next Friday evening to bring all our drawing-room manners to the for- mal reception given by the Faculty in the stately parlors of Briggs Hall. The Senior Class sponsored an entertainment the following Friday when several amusing little skits were given, as well as some impersona- tions. The evening was a success and We had made our debut for the year. When we held a class meeting to elect officers for the first semester, Miss Leviston, who had been our class advisor since Sophomore days, again kindly consented to be our class teacher. Our class ofiicers were as follows: Frances Miller, President, Helen Dean, Vice-Presidentg Phyllis Umphrey, Secretaryg and Muriel O'Brion, Treasurer. Our Senior play, which we presented in the fall, met with great suc- cess. It was The Violin Maker of Cremona, and was presented with such artistic ability and skill that we were indeed proud of our new and old Senior girls. Now we have been honored by having Janet Peters, the lead- ing lady for Hannah of England, chosen from our class. We were also well represented in the annual gymnasium competition. Winifred Greenwood won new honors for us by placing first and other Seniors won many points. The Senior Class, with the aid of Mrs. Owen, gave a tea in April for our dear friends, Doctor and Mrs. Averill. Miss Leviston, our class teacher, presided graciously at the tea table, which was beautifully decorated with calla lilies. Another delightful spring party was the afternoon at Mar- riner's cottage with the wonderful hospitality. As our graduation approaches we realize that we are about to step from the shelter of Oak Grove into a world which we hesitantly yet eagerly push forward to explore. It is with heavy hearts that we think of leaving this beautiful school whose atmosphere of character and friendliness shall cling to us through the ensuing years. It has entwined itself so closely in our hearts that we shall carry its spirit with us through all the years to come. 36 OAK LEAVES TEA TABLE JUNIOR CLASS NOTES When we returned in September as upperclassmen at last, We were overjoyed to find such very interesting new girls to Welcome to our group. We have the largest Junior Class in the history of Oak Grove and the largest class in school this year. It is a versatile group and some of our teachers are kind enough to say We are talented, even though they also remind us occasionally that quality is quite as important as quantity. It was soon time to elect our class officers and in response to our eager invita- tion Miss Ramsay took the responsibility of serving as our class teacher. The other officers elected were President, Romayne Liverpool, Vice-Presi- dent, Dorothy Stoneg Secretary, Betty Lyong and Treasurer, Lucy Carlisle, all of whom have proved Worthy of their offices and been real leaders in our class. The hockey season opened almost immediately with a large group of enthusiastic candidates from our class. Before the championship series came to their exciting close We were quite skillful, both with stick and on guard. Basketball season opened soon after Thanksgiving and found us 37 OAK LEAVES with high hopes as we picked our class team from the large number of excellent candidates. It was a thrilling season for us who finished the series by winning the basketball championship from all the other classes. Some of the games were very close and our opponents were skillful but fortune favored us. We were also represented in the gymnasium competi- tion when five of our girls won the coveted places as Leaders. Although our class is a very athletic one, We find many other attrac- tions at Oak Grove and many social events have held an important place in our program. The first party we sponsored was at Hallowe'en when con- trary to all traditions of ghosts and wandering spirits, our ingenious class selected the Social Room of Briggs Hall and completely transformed it into a picturesque Gypsy encampment. Brilliant autumn leaves were scattered over the floor in a realistic way. Soft strains of gypsy melody floated across the room from beyond the realistic campfire, while a real covered wagon housed a fortune teller at another side and each center of attraction was really in the gypsy spirit. It was novel and we all liked the change. Such a good party encouraged us in our plans for the Masquerade, which is always held the first Friday night after the Christmas holidays. We never intend to draw conclusions boldly but we have heard rumors leading us to believe that our guests enjoyed the Masquerade quite as much as We enjoyed giving it. Our dramatic talents soon had an opportunity to be tested in the amus- ing play, The Rector, and proved the happy prelude to greater stardom since each actor in that play won a place in the big four-act drama given at Lakewood on May twenty-sixth. The Junior Essays had been anticipated with wavering confidence but they were prepared and given with promptness and we felt both relief and some pride when all had been given. With spring and a million apple blossoms bringing fragrance to our campus for Junior Readings, why shouldn't we look forward to them with confidence, in our party frocks and with all our dramatic possibilities prop- erly coached by Mrs. Green? Dramatics, parties, aesthetic classes, athletics, music, parties given us by Mrs. Owen and our teachers, moonlight rides, and our very important studies-all have a place in our memories. We close our year thinking of another happy one when September brings us back to Oak Grove for our Senior year. SOPHOMORE CLASS NOTES The doors of Oak Grove swung open to welcome us once again when September arrived. We had been looking forward to this day throughout the entire summer-and some of us even arrived a little before the doors 58 OAK LEAVES were supposed to open. We were glad to welcome six new members to our group and with their help we at once began our plans for the school year. We were delighted when Miss Mostrom consented to serve as our class teacher. Martha Richardson was elected President, Barbara Downing, Vice-President, Florence Worth, Secretary, and Barbara Edmonds, Treas- urer. Riding, tennis, archery and soccer filled our recreation hours during those glorious autumn days. Our skill in soccer was such that our class furnished members for both the Scarlet and Black teams. Before we realized it the time had come to select our class play and being a jolly class we chose a comedy in which Barbara Downing, Martha Richardson and Jean Wilkinson had leading parts. The dramatic talent of our class was also recognized in the big play of the year, when Florence Worth won a part in Hannah of England. Our Sophomore tea was one of the most enjoyable events of the year for us and we hope it was for our guests. Miss Mostrom looked her loveliest as our hostess. We have also enjoyed the other formal teas of the winter season. Sophomore Declamations! Could it be time for them? The day and that evening did arrive about which we had heard for two years. Each girl tried to be a credit to Mrs. Green. We were well rewarded for our efforts by the surprise party which Mrs. Owen gave us afterwards. Our class has been represented in most all of the important activities of Oak Grove this year: Leaders' Class, Riding Competition, the Choir, Rhythmics, Piano Recitals, Violin Recital, Expression Recitals and Dra- matics. We hope to do even more next year. With the coming of spring we welcome the picnic lunches and camp suppers which make such a happy change in our boarding school life. It is never monotonous at Oak Grove. As the year draws to a close we are look- ing forward to our class picnic and to next year when we shall be upper- classmen. FRESHMAN CLASS NOTES The girls who enter Oak Grove in the Junior Department always look forward with special eagerness to the freshman year and the added privi- leges which will be theirs, especially the one of staying up an hour longer each night. At last that day arrived in September, 1933, with eager Freshies ready to begin their new routine. We were happy to welcome some fine new girls to our class and just as soon as it was our turn we met for class elections. We were happy when Mlle. Guilbeau accepted our 39 OAK LEAVES request to serve as class teacher and then we proceeded to nominate our oflicers. Our selections were: President, Elizabeth Meyer: Vice-President, Mary Whitman, Secretary and Treasurer, Elizabeth Burleigh. We are glad to say that although we are a small class we are first in many things and one was a grand welcome party to the new members of our class. We have continued throughout the year to be noted for our parties, such as a venison dinner party, birthday parties, and as many other parties as we could find excuses for. We have also enjoyed many delicious chicken and waiiie parties, given by Mrs. Owen, to one of which she invited the entire Freshman Class, with each girl privileged to invite her Big Sister. Since our class is also keenly interested in sports, we had many skating and sliding parties and some of these were by moonlight, when Mrs. Owen entertained us afterward with delectable hot chocolate and fancy cookies. And we are proud to say we have a well organized basketball team. Hoping for something original, we decided to call it Syncopaters. Two of our Freshmen actually made Leaders Class. We received places and honors in the riding competition, one has played in the orchestra and sev- eral have appeared in different recitals. Everyone said we were most ambitious in selecting The Minuet for our class play, but they also said we did it exceedingly well. After all, we never hit much higher than we aim, and besides being ambitious we like to be different and we secured special permission to have our class tea an informal one. The spring term has been a happy one, with interesting events right up to the last minute, including sleeping on the roof under the stars and all the fun of our class picnic. It doesn't seem possible that we shall be sopho- mores by another September, but if history repeats itself, we shall, and we are all looking forward with great eagerness to welcoming the new girls who will join us then. liii- JUNIOR DEPARTMENT NOTES When Oak Grove opened last September we were proud to find our- selves the largest Junior Department Oak Grove has ever had. We also represent more different States than any other class at Oak Grove with girls in our Department from eight States. Our class teacher is Miss Frantz and our oflicers are President, Joyce Prattg Vice-President, Betty Clark, Secretary, Ethel Wentworthg Treas- urer, Martha O'Neill. 40 OAK LEAVES We have had some very delightful parties. Mrs. Owen has entertained us often at Rosemere. She has also given informal suppers for us in her Study at Oak Grove. She also served us refreshments as a happy surprise after we had carried out one of the projects of our English Class on her corridor by presenting Pyramus and Thisbe from a Midsummer's Night Dream, which we were studying. We were quite thrilled when it came our turn to be hostesses at a formal tea. Miss Frantz poured behind the tall candles and pink tulips and she was lovely in a soft chifon dress. We received so many compliments that we were quite proud of ourselves after the tea. Then the gymnasium competition came and we were overjoyed to have four Leaders chosen from our Department. There was another project in English when our classes united in writ- ing the play from an old legend Miss Jones told us, of Cinderella as the people of Palestine tell it. We named the play Thaljiyeh, the name of the heroine, which was charmingly played by Sally Russell. Martha O'Neill was impressive as the rich and cruel stepmother in her beautifully em- broidered robe. Her selfish daughters were Ethel Wentworth and Gloria Nelson. Joyce Pratt played the part of the old grandmother, while Betty Clark made a most dashing Sheik. All were privileged to wear the beauti- ful robes from Palestine which belong to Oak Grove and are always used in the pageants at Christmas and Easter. It will not be long before Class Picnics and Commencement will be here. We have all had a grand time this year and are looking forward to next year when the eighth grade will return as Freshmen. The new girls who are enrolled in our class for next year, as well as the others who join us, may be sure of a real Oak Grove welcome. 41 OAK LEAVES LITTLE DRESSES How warm and cozy the little children are going to be with the flannel dresses, jackets and petticoats we are making for them! Some are pink or white or blue. Mine shall be white with blue ribbons and she must have golden brown curls and blue eyes who wears it. The spirit of Christmas is everywhere as we cut and sew and embroider the baby clothes we have decided to make for the little children in homes where they might be cold during this winter when there is so much unemployment. It has been fun in other years to dress so many dolls and make scores of animals but we have loved making the adorable clothes even more. To be sure some of us also dressed dolls because we just cou1dn't think of giving up our French christening the morning when our dolls are brought to the altar and blessed with all the ceremonies that are so dear to us. Then someone suggested that each girl put the little garment she had made in a package, wrap it in white and bring it to the manger of the Christ Child in our own Christ- mas pageant. It was an impressive ceremony in the real spirit of Christ- mas that we shall always remember. THE TAFFY PULL Oh joy! Mrs. Owen is to have another surprise for us, and anyone who has ever been at Oak Grove knows that Mrs. Owen is famous for her surprises. All the upperclassmen are invited to the library and music room of Bailey Hall, where charades are enjoyed-but wait! what is that tanta- lizing odor rising from the kitchen? Nothing less than the delicious odor of molasses candy. The surprise of course! Soon we are down in the big kitchen and there on the tables are mam- moth pans of candy ready to pull. The fun and excitement begin. Buttered hands are soon ready and each one, after a great deal of tugging, has her share to pull. Several girls are amazingly skillful but the rest find taffy oozing tableward and floorward from every finger. J ohnny's clean floor is soon dotted with what might have been delicious molasses candy. Meanwhile the experts have pulled their taffy into glistening, creamy ropes. They are in a generous mood, too, so we descend upon them and eat to our heart's content. Four great kettles of pop-corn glazed with a cooked syrup that has been hardening under the stars are then brought in and our old-fashioned feast continues gaily. 44 OAK LEAVES QUEEN MARGARET IS CROWNED May Day dawned fair and bright with a thrillingly mysterious atmos- phere as we gathered in corners to whisper our guesses as to who will be the May Queen. Each class was shortened a little to make one session and just as soon as the last was over we hurried to our rooms to rush into our tunics. The gong echoed through the halls for lunch and down the stairs we trooped, merrily, noisily, and quite unlike our usually decorus entrance, singing songs and skipping about. Luscious was the feast of strawberry shortcake and the dainty Queen tarts. We serenaded Mrs. Owen and all the teachers and then they serenaded us. Immediately after lunch the nine Maids of Honor and the two Pages hurried to the royal chamber, where there was an air of tension as the younger page opened the envelop To Her Majesty to draw forth the card with the name of the Queen. Our lovely Queen Margaret was overcome as her Maids of Honor knelt in homage and she was quickly robed in the white satin gown with long train of rose velvet. Her bouquet was an adorable shower one, the gift of her subjects. The procession began with the arrival of the Queen,s subjects on the green while the school orchestra played. A Herald in scarlet and white stepped through the open door, bugle notes rang out and the procession moved forward with the stately Cardinal and two attendants, the four Virtues and then the Jester. There was a pause before eight charming Maids of Honor marched from the portals and then last, but far from least, came our Queen with her train upheld by two smiling pages, just as the Herald announced her entrance. When she was officially crowned by the Cardinal, the four Virtues, Truth, Wisdom, Courtesy and Loyalty, came forward with their pledges and the frolicsome Jester capered about as Jesters are supposed to do. 45 OAK LEAVES The notes of the recessional echoed across the campus and our Queen led the procession while cameras clicked on every side. The customary frolic on the green was omitted this year because both the aesthetic and riding classes were having their pictures taken immediately after the May Day festivities. WE SING The concert of the Glee Club of a fine boys' school is enjoyed every- where but when it is the Hebron Glee Club coming to Oak Grove and the last half of the concert is to be a joint one with numbers on which the clubs have been working separately that require a long rehearsal in the after- noon,-then the concert is a real event. It was a joy to hear the strong voices of the Hebron Glee Club in the numbers they offered, and when their voices mingled with the high Sopranos of our own club, those who love to sing found new joy in it. We made it plainly understood that the Hebron Glee Club was to be the guest of our club and even before dinner every girl who wasn't in the club was secretly vowing that she would be in it next year. We had such fun at our rehearsal, at dinner, at the party following dinner, at the con- cert, and then, best of all, at the informal sing as we gathered in the parlor with Mr. Griffith at the piano just before they left. True to our promises we were on our way to Hebron a few weeks after that to give a concert to them and then join in a group of numbers for a mixed group. They were royal hosts and we are all looking forward to more concerts next year with the hope of broadcasting a joint one when another spring comes. Wifi' 46 OAK LEAVES SPRING NIGHTS AT OAK GROVE When We sleep on the roof at Oak Grove in the spring, Through the nights so cool and long, We listen to calls of the whip-poor-wills, That sing us their good-night song. As we lie and look at the stars above And think of their distant light, We are happy to be at Oak Grove in the spring, In the shelter of the night. MARJORIE SPINNEY. STAGE CUES CUE NUMBER I The seats in Study Hall rapidly fill this Saturday morning in March for Miss Pow-ell is to read Hannah of England , the four act historical romance to be presented at the beautiful Lakewood Theatre. We listen with eager anticipation and in our minds tentatively select our friends and ourselves for the various roles. The play meets with tremendous approval. CUE NUMBER II Tryouts! Our imaginations are working rapidly as we picture the vari- ous characters in rich silk and velvet costumes behind the footlights. Dozens try out for the parts. 47 OAK LEAVES CUE NUMBER III The parts are announced and we congratulate Janet Peters who makes the role of Hannah. Her costumes are planned with a lovely period gown of white silk trimmed with silver lace climaxing her wardrobe. Janet is putting enthusiasm and artistry into every scene, portraying both the spontaneity and the tenderness of Hannah. CUE NUMBER IV We are deep in the show! Every character is in the spirit of the play. Cooperation is our password. Mary Marshall and Romayne Liverpool make gay young gallants while our stern Quakers, Florence Worth, Betty Emery and Helen Frame offer excellent contrast. Sue Chandler is making a perky postsboyl We begin to feel stage fright for Monday we go to Lake- wood for a dress rehearsal. CUE NUMBER V Betty Lyon is proving her ability daily to characterize the devoted Betty Trott. Her pert little speeches add zest and freshness to the whole show. The fact that we are now really acting on a stage thrills us. Leone Low becomes a more pompous Prime Minister, while Dorothy Stone, our Princess Dowager, draws her flowing purple robes about her more haughtily each day. CUE NUMBER VI Final night! Amidst grease paint and bright lights our actresses pre- pare for their debuts. Fran Stobie and Gwen Coney are certainly proving their worth! And Beverly .says that Jean is really running the show. CURTAIN Fond parents and friends from many states have been seated by our graceful ushers. Even a famous playwright is here to watch us fand was overheard later declaring it was more ambitious than a stock company would attempt, but nevertheless a successj. Behind the scenes are many bouquets fBeverly had decreed No flowers over the footlights J . There is a breathless moment. The play is on. Everyone has gone on loving -the part and doing it as never before. Spirited, lovely Hannah moves nearly everyone to tears. The Prince of Wales is grand. Right on to the final curtain-the women are sweety the men are noble 3 the show-a success! 48 OAK LEAVES ' TH LETIC I 5'1. - Just now when so much is being said and written about the new leisure it seems absurd to us here at Oak Grove that any person should find leisure a prob- lem in any boarding school. It is certainly impossible here for we have such a round of recreational activi- ties, athletics and gymnastics that we could be busy and happy from morning until evening if our hours of recreation lasted all day. Our program opened enthusi- astically the Very first day and Miss Ramsay, with all her new ideas and enthusiastic assistants, had us signed up immediately for all of the sports: riding, hockey, soccer, tennis and archery, which we began the first week. All of the new girls kept hearing rumors about the Scarlet and Black teams while the old girls were hold- ing many meetings. Then the day came when the new girls were initiated into either the Scarlets or the Blacks and their wonderings were satisfied. As soon as the two teams were organized the Majors were elected, Ann Hughes for the Scarlets and Winifred Greenwood for the Blacks. The enthusiasm for hockey was immediate and intense. Girls and teachers gathered to watch the prac- tice and exciting games were prophesied. The first match was all that had been expected, with both teams playing a swift game amidst the exciting shouting, until the whistle blew and the Blacks won their first victory. Although keen, the rivalry was always friendly and the defeated team rushed to congratulate the other. Even in the last of the series, which many of the Scarlet and Black girls will never forget, the game ended in a tie. Another period was unanimously agreed upon and each team swept over the field until a lucky stroke gave the victory to the Blacks. While the upperclassmen Were enthusiastic about hockey the soccer 49 0AK LEAVES games were quite as fast and exciting, due to the playing of our younger girls, who have some of the finest athletic ability at Oak Grove. We are expecting great things from them when they become upperclassmen. Everyone was reluctant to see the hockey and soccer season pass so quickly, but the thrill of skating on our little pond just before the Christmas holidays brought so much fun that no one would have exchanged. The very day we returned from our Christmas vacation we were organizing for bas- ketball and it was again evident that the championship series would be closely contested. The following popular captains were elected: Post Graduates, June Uptong Seniors, Christine Waterhouse, Juniors, Kathryn Hodgkinsg Sophomores, Mary Augusta Thomson, Freshmen, Marie Josephine Car- vethg and Junior Department, Marjorie Kerr. The games were fast and exciting and in the final contest the Juniors raced by with the championship. The Scarlet and Black teams were formed immediately after the Class Series with Mary Evans captain of the Blacks and Mary Marshall cap- tain of the Scarlets. Enthusiasm ran so high that once a game was stopped to give time for the cheering from the balcony. By the last whistle for the finish of the final game, the Scarlets had Won the series. Even with the unusual enthusiasm for basketball there has been plenty of time for out-of-doors sports since the beginning of the tennis tourna- ments in the fall. The archery devotees have become good marksmen, and riding still remains the king of sports since it is the one that begins on the opening day and continues through all the seasons until those who have come to love the horses take their last ride on Commencement morning. With snow, which was famous for its abundance, came all our winter sports, and skis, toboggans, fiexible fiyers, and snowshoes were seen run- ning around our hills carrying happy girls. Meanwhile we were preparing for the gymnasium competition when the sixteen girls who placed would be made Leaders for the year. There were over fifty competing in the preliminaries and over thirty on the final night in a close rivalry that bothered the judges a great deal, but decisions had to be made and, knowing the excellence of so many, we held our breath while the names were read. Highest honors were won by Winifred Greenwood. There was a tie for the next two places, and the three announced were, alphabetically, Margaret Campbell, Joyce Pratt and Martha Richardson. The following girls also won places: Lucy Carlisle, Elizabeth Clark, Gwen Coney, Melita Critchell, Elizabeth Emery, Helen Frame, Helen Holman, Mona Jones, Patricia Kerr, Marjorie Kerr, Marjorie Kinney, Muriel O'Brion, Mary Augusta Thomson and Mary Whitman. Mary Evans and Romayne Liverpool were partially excused from the competition, but they retained their positions from last year as Leaders and appeared in the spring exhibition. From early last fall we have been working industriously in our aesthetic and rhythmic classes.e'They are voluntary and have been attended 50 OAK LEAVES NOLLDV HH:IEIHd SEISHOH .LIIEI SEIHOLDIJ EDIVI SHEICIIH OAK LEAVES by more than fifty girls, ambitious to have more poise, grace and skill. Many new and beautiful numbers have been worked out, as interpretations of the music of great masters, in preparation for our exhibition on May eighteenth. Lovely new costumes were designed for us by our Art Depart- ment, fashioned of crepe de chine with a simple bodice and a very full circular skirt of ankle length. They were so becoming we could hardly wait to wear them. The exhibition brought fathers, mothers and friends of the participants to the full capacity of the balcony. There was long applause after the Leaders in their white tunics went through their intricate marches like young soldiers. There were also Danish work by the upperclassmen and stunts by the Leaders on the mat and the horse. The last half of the program was given over to the picturesque rhythmic work, which was made more beautiful by the colored lights. The following morning brought a long anticipated event for those of us who love riding best of all. With expert judges, fair skies, the presence of many friends, and each girl eager to win a ribbon, the long competition was full of thrills from the moment of the grand entrance to the announce- ment of the last ribbon. Ribbons for the Advanced Group went to: blue, Romayne Liverpoolg red, Eleanor Carllg and white, Leone Low. Inter- mediate: blue, Kathryn Hodgkinsg red, Madelyn Millerg and white, Hazel Brown. Beginners' Class: blue, June Uptong red, tie between Elizabeth Emery and Beatrice Kennedy, white, Christine Waterhouse. Now that the ribbons are won we are all working hard on the military drills, singly and in pairs, and for better form in walking, cantering and trotting. Some are working on fancy numbers for the riding show which comes Com- mencement week. Meanwhile, we are enjoying the moonlight rides and all the trips with Miss Humphrey for which Oak Grove is famous. - The few remaining days at Oak Grove are flying by swiftly. How we truly hate to see them go. Many happy hours are being spent again on the tennis courts and archery green. Training for Commencement features also keeps us busy, but even then we find time for those rare hours when we just swing beneath the great pines, wander in the flower gardens or dream under the apple blossoms. Those in the outgoing class who will not be back to Oak Grove in the fall have many joyous, happy memories to treasure forever, while those who are coming back are anticipating all that Oak Grove holds for them when September comes again. 52 OAK LEAVES Sept Sept.
