Sophomore HAnnual Meeting PLACE. Room A at Oakhurst. TIME. 1914 e 12.20. CHARACTERS. Mildred, Class President. Sadie. Natalie. Margaret. Sara. Louise. Lucy. Elizabeth. Caroline. MILDREDeGirIs, the Seniors are having such a time with their annual I thought it would be a good idea to start ours, Now, someone please offer a quiet suggestion. LUCY - I tell you. Let's have every girl in school write a story, a poem and a play. They can draw some dear little illustrations, too. Of course, they wonlt mind, and it never takes up very much of their time. SARA e I am going to write a novel, and I promise to cut it down to three hundred pages. That will be a mere short story, but I suppose youlll have to leave room for some of the things that the other people are going to write. 30 NATALIEeYes, Sara, it would be very kind of you to let someone else write something. Now, I thing it would be a good idea to give a play, say some- thing simple like the Sunshine Girl, and rent a hall and get costumes and a chorus and grease paint and an audience. Then they could pay admissions and we could save the money and have a leather-bound annual with colored illustrations for the stories and full-page pictures of each girl and ... CAROLINE e Yes, Natalie, and a fwe or six-page story of her life and an embroidered bookmark with each volume. Your remarks are interesting but un- important. But, even so, it wont be bad to have a few fulI-page pictures of the Gym Team, the Debat- ing Club, and the Mandolin Society. What do you think, Margaret? MARGARET-Well, now, I was seriously contem- plating writing a poem. Something on the order of the Iliad. I think that that would be quite clever and so original. Of course, it takes a well-developed brain and artistic temperament, but since I possess both, it will be so simple.
