MUSIC ROOM? WANTED: A music room entirely furnished, if possible. Must contain a piano with unbreakable pedal and a sturdy general con¬ stitution. fifteen comfortable chairs, and sound-proof walls. Send by express to: Our Lady of the Angels Academy 1570 Enfield St. Enfield, Conn. Oh! Oh! we forgot! We should have included a request for book-stands. Those books have the annoying habit of slipping through our fingers. There must be some invention to remedy the situation. My! won ' t Sister Presentatia be happy when we receive an answer to Her prayers! The corridor and steps after all, are al¬ right, but — We look like climbers of Jacob’s ladder on the steps, and “Outcasts of Poker Flat’’ on the corridor. In each case, we block the way for passers-by, if they dare venture through the dense jung ' le of girls. Usually, however, our singing gives them a fair warning of what lies ahead. But then again, I suppose we’d miss the old system, if we ever had the luck to obtain what we ask for. On baking days, the deli¬ cious aroma of Sister Rajneria’s cakes is an incentive to proper breathing. A sound-proof wall would also be smell-proof, wouldn’t it? The ideal piano would leave no room for excuses for little defi¬ ciencies in our playing After all, it is a comfort to be able to blame the piano for it all. And as to the chairs — it is fun to sit on the steps. Now, to top it all, we’d have to say goodbye to our dear little “Bambino.” Let’s call the whole thing off. Good old corridor and steps!
