How paradoxical that we should show such industry in de-cluttering our physical belongings, while com- pletely ignoring the necessity for order and revision in our minds. We burn boxes and barrels of old trinkets, yet we cling like spiders to a web of time-worn ideas, content with 'tlt was good enough for Grandma, it's good enough for mef' Let us not fall deeper into this'bottomless pit of complacency, of self-satisfaction. Let us not be cowards, afraid to stick our necks outg if we stay in our padded cocoon, we will surely suffocate. Our potentialities will be no more developed than the silk worm, murdered in its platinum shell. Must we be wrapped like mummies and prematurely interred under the pyramid of society? Society, after all is merely an in- vention of man, constructed so that he can act, talk, live like everyone else, while his mind and talents often grow moldy with disuse. Strike out at the corrupt aspects of the world - its outdated beliefs, its worthless tra- ditions, its too-convenient caste system. What would have happened if Da Vinci and Michelangelo and Ein- stein had skulked off like mongrel dogs with their tails between their legs at the least breath of public displeasure or misunderstanding? We would still be blowing out candles at night if Edison had not come along with his genius and courage, but They laughed at Edison. By these examples, we in no way mean to imply that we all have the potentialities of a genius. We don't. Nevertheless, we have talents which should not be ignored or shoved carelessly out of the way. Our talents in writing, speaking, art or organization may not make us nationally known figures, but can be of great use in improving both our community and the lives of those around us. If America is to remain prosperous, it is for us, the maturing genera- tion, to set out boldly and seize the new ideas - to advance! EDITORIAL LITERARY Dancing School . . . Shadows ..........

Crash, bang, the piano roars. Along each wall sits a row of fond parents beaming happily at the swaying, shifting mass of would-be dancers churning around the floor. This is dancing school. Small, scrubbed boys with sticky hands shove small, meticulously curled girls around and around. The room spins and settles. Little Joe stomps on my foot, I kick his ankle. We both wince. We both said, Ex- cuse me. Jessie's mother's hat is awful . . . Look at the dancing master hop and skip to the music . . .' Karen looks funny. She has bubble gum in her mouth . . .' Thank you, Little Joe, for the dance. You're welcome. Well, it is over for a minute or two . . . All the boys make a headlong dash for the coatroom. Sticky candy appears from nowhere. Neckties are loosened. Someone produces a pencil stub. A game of tic-tac-toe appears on the already grimy wall. Suddenly the piano announces that the next dance is about to begin. Candy and pencil disappear and sickly grins take their place. The young Astaires file sheepishly into the hall. From the other end of the hall advance a giggling group of pony- tailed charmers striving vainly to hide an odd assortment of combs, gum, and candy. Would you care to dance ? Yes, thank you. I'd love to. The dancing master rasps, One, two, three, slide. The piano bangs. The fond parents beam proudly and the small Astaires shove their partners masterfully around the floor.

The coatrooms bustle with activ- ity. Then everyone has gone. The hall is dark and still. It waits for the same silly, beaming parents io arrive next week with the same bored children. DEBBY GIFFIN, '58 SHADOWS The shadows darkened on my wall, Some fell shortg some fell tall. And watching them in dusk's half-light I grew pale and shook with fright. But deep within my soul was calm, It had no fear, it had no qualm, For close beside my outstretched arms To dispell all doubts, to check alarm, Was one small lamp, one tiny light to halt the shadows in the night. JANET DAYTON, '59 ffl r f OOO OO O Q Q 0 OGC F THE AUTUMN GARDEN Traditionally, descriptions of gardens are filled with romantic allusions to their beauty in the Spring. On a crisp fall day, when a faint tang of distant bonfires pervade the air, I find in our garden as many colorful and interesting objects as there are at other seasons. Scarlet salvia is backed by the deep green hedges. The exot- ically orange color of oddly- shaped Chinese lanterns gives the etfect of light coming from within. Winter creeper furtive- ly twists and winds its way up the gray stone wall. The glamor- ous roses of June have long been gone, and replacing them are shiny red rose haws. The arbor is laden with lus- cious Concord grapes. The Ro- man urn whose bas-relief fig- ures were covered by the leaves of summer is now exposed to decorate a secluded corner. Screening this garden from the street stands a stately dog- wood upon whose branches many many leaves still cling. Some of them have turned bronze, and all along the branches red berries protrude like hat pins. Thus, nature in her infinite variety prepares for another growing season. DIANE DUBRULE, '60 SNOW It snowed three nights ago, And nippy breezes with glacial patterns Tumbled like feathers in avalanches through the sky. Though it was night, The maze of roads lay clear, For snowflakes lit the wayg And snowflakes lit my heart with inspiration. The frosty shapes swept down and washed the worldg I felt my soul wasclean. But three days must have dimmed my mind, For now my soul is black . . . SUE CARROLL, '58 BEYOND TIME A bud lifts its colored cup to let the bees dip in its honeyed nectar. A black-eyed Susan dances in the breeze coquettishly winking her somber eyes. A tree sheds her beautiful colors to let her twigs form an exquisite pattern of lace. The icy snow covers all of the living, while the stars look down cold and true. LYNNE ROBINSON, '58 BAIT FOR IGNORANT FISH ls the sign Truck drivers welcome outside any exclusive restaurant impressive enough to make you stop for a dinner? Or are you particular? Do you insist on the sight of at least four trucks actually parked in the tiny parking lot? I decided that my intellectual curiosity could someday put my name down in the annals of history with Einstein, Kinsey, and Lavosier if I sim- ply investigated the commonly accepted fact that the trucks are parked outside the more reputable places, and you know what that means! On one occasion I was making a hurried business trip to New York, therefore, l had to organize my timing. While I insisted on a good satis- fying meal, The Red Coach Grillei' was not conducive to a quick stop. However, I was not an ascetic fool who would forfeit a chance to assuage my hunger pangs. Neither would I stop to grab a bite on the run. As this grave decision ran through my head, I was still noticing the trucks at the diners along the parkway. Wherever there was one truck there were at least three or four. Knowing what that meant, I picked the next one that had five and, greatly relieved, drove in. The gentleman tif I may be so liberal as to call him suchj who sat on the stool next to me, nonchalantly stirred his coffee with his little finger, in a feeble attempt to dissolve the four lumps of sugar that I had seen him deposit therein. He looked askance at my suit and tie and returned his gaze to the waitress CI do believe it was not a waiterl who had placed herself in front of me and was chawing placidly on her gum awaiting my order. lt was almost embarrassing to give it. The loquacity of the nine men in there would have enabled one to hear himself if he had dropped a pin. I shall spare you the miseries of my meal - only mentioning it so that you will realize the necessity to ask the gentlemen why this one special place appealed to them and how they managed to survive. The one to my left answered first. It seemed that he was meeting a man outside in one half hour to lead him to a warehouse where his load was to be deposited, and he had come in to kill time. Two more, having had a flat tire down the road, had stopped to wash up. The other nine had stopped because they had seen two trucks parked out front, and you know what that means! NANCY WOLF, '58 fi --A II! M ffl l W ODE TO A HILL Why is it that somehow, standing on the summit of a hill, you seem to feel so much at peace with yourself. As you gaze at the world spread out below you, cares drift from your shoulders. A wispy breeze brings a re- freshing lift to the air around your haven. Material things seem so far away, even as the people themselves. Yet God and his glorious heavens are so close that you could reach out and grasp the guiding hand He holds outstretched. The stars, too, wink down their steady reassurance, telling you to have no fear. Through all this God gives this message of courage. Why did He place that single hill on the single spot, but for you and others like you who seek refuge in time of need? He is the Divine force who makes the breeze to blow and the stars to shine for those on this high exalted spot. And when you leave this place, you know that you will not forget the message of faith and hope you received that night - God's message. TORY Esriss, '58 S l i z l l I I l P 6 1 I I I I WHAT IS LOVE Love, What is love? A tender sigh, a sweet caress. Love, What is love? A shykiss, a hearty handshake. Love, What is love? A hard spanking or reprimanding tongue. Love, VVhat is love? Gay laughter, a tearful eye. Love, What is love? It is all these . . . It is God himself. NOSTALGIA As the leaves, Like yellow butterflies flying astray, Kiss the crystalline waters and float away, The murmuring brook JOAN GOODALE, '58 Plays a sweet song recalling the past summer days. MARIELLA POMAR, '58 ON THE SUBJECT OF JACK HORNER Little Jack Horner sat in a corner Eating his Christmas pie He stuck in his thumb, and QA- pulled out a plum fb And said, What a good boy am I! Here we have a sample of that literature' tl use the word gk for lack of any otherj group- ed loosely under the title Nursery Rhymesf, and more specifically, Mother Goose Rhymes. - The first line alone warns us that something unusual is sure to follow. Little Jack Horner sat in a corner. XVhy, it rather makes me wonder if perhaps the lad is an ex- treme introvert. One must ad- mit that a corner is not the usual place in which a young child might sit. Imagine, at such a tender age, little Mr. Horner is already plagued by mental troubles! Eating his Christmas pie. This is all very well if it were the holiday season, but what if it were the middle of July? It seems to me that Mother Goose could have made the poem more applicable to any time of year by saying chocolate cream pie, or apple pie a la mode. So much for that line. Shall we proceed to the next and see what treasures it holds? He stuck in his thumb . . . Here is an almost direct contradiction to the previous statement. If this child is so uncoordinated as to mash his paw into his pie, how in Allah's name could he ever pull out a plum stuck quite neatly on the end of his thumb? For thus he is always pictured by the most authoritative illustraters who 'certainly' should know about the subject they paint. And said, 'What a good boy am I!' Now I'd like to know where he got that little jewel of logic. First this kid sulks in a corner hounding a whole.: pie. QI presume you noted that there was no mention of a mere piece of pie.J He splatters the pastry fprobably lovingly baked by his Nannyl over his face and his clothes, sticks his hand into a gooey mess that will probably take two weeks to wash off, then has the out-and-out audacity to proclaim '6What a good boy am I! What a good boy!,'! My footliffilffd MIDNIGHT TALKS The magic of summer, the glory of fall, the freshness of a snow-whitened winter, or even the first spring day, are changed completely by the cover of midnight. All the vividness and color of day- light is drained away and re- placed by muted grays, blues, and blacks, illumined not by a blazing sun, but by cool, white moonlight. Imagine midnight as simply a dark, somber world of nothingness- bleak and without light or beauty. Think again of what midnight or dark- ness says. It whispers, cries, chatters, wails according to the time, the place, the weather. There is the vibrance of a city - cars, people, voices, trains - with' harsh sounds, manufactured sounds . . . noisy but alive! There is the eerie howl of a midnight storm, certain rustling of leaves, water lapping against a shore, or waves crashing on a bench - nature's sounds, quiet, cold, warm, or lonely. Daylight's sounds are ignored, forgotten because our eyes take in all that surrounds us, but at the end of the day, at the time that daylight be- gins again - midnight -- midnight talks, and what is dark, what we can- not see, we imagine or see through our ears in a different sight. Midnight and moonlight . . . starlight . . . or the magnificent lights of a great city express a glorious picture if We simply listen .... JANE Mums, '60 A DREAM A snowy winterwonderland. Oh no, that's not for me! I dream of sandy beaches, And sunlight, and the sea. Snow is a sign of sadness, So cold, so mute - without a sound Like frozen tears from the grey skies It lazily settles on the ground. The waves are softly singing A carefree song of love, The palms swaying in the breeze Watch them kiss the shore and back away. All this denotes such gladness, Such beauty, joy, such glee - I dream of sandy beaches And sunlight, and the sea. Sf MARIELLA POMAR, '58 IDUG' XX XX X 1 1'1 OLD MAN Old man, thou walkest down the road of life Unwanted and unloved. Yet, old man, thou lovest to want For others, not thyself. Thou hast charm, and yet few see. From the abundance of thy soul, curtained, They run and pass you by. With no time for lesser things they pass you by. The beauty you create, old man, Lies undiscovered by the blind, And yet, it takes not eyes to see The love thou'lt leave behind. DIANE DUBRULE, '60 BELL-S-- AN INVENTION OF THE DEVIL You have probably heard this expression over and over again: There is nothing more beautiful than the chiming of a bell Y This was once said to me in a tone overflowing with emotion by an elderly woman, yet all I could utter in response was: Ullladam, if you only knew. . . F Yes, bells can make beautiful sounds: nevertheless, it depends upon what sort of hell it is. They can he classified: we have vvetlding bells, sleigh bells. cow bells. and. furthermore. We have those monstrous meclianidial devices: the electrical bells. Plain and ugly, a round black circle surround- ed by a few wires. they seem to suggest that nothing agreeable could be connected with them. Usually placed in a very strategic spot - close to the ceiling so as to be protected from cotton, Kleenex, underwear, and all sorts of devices which are placed inside of them to stop their ringing - they are operated by a single red button which by now is starting to look pitifully worn out - which is no wonder since it is used twenty-two times a dav. The things are very energetic. They love to rise and shine and start their ringing barely after dawn - what fun it is to wake up those lazy humans! The colder and darker a morning is, the louder they ring! One pops up from the pillow like the spring of a mouse trap and glares over to the next hed where a fortunate roommate twho is half deafl is still in the arms of Orpheus. XVake up. wake up, the bell has rung! Famous lst words as we see one heavy eyelid open - so we start the day! The monsters not only like to rise early, but they have the annoying habit of being extremely punctual. The second bell rings and we see people running through the snow with a pair of socks in one hand. a sweater in the other, madly trying to zip up their skirts. Even if they catch pneumo- nia, the bell has rung a minute early and they must not be late for break- fast! The more fortunate ones - those whose hearing is not as sensitive- have not quite opened both eyes yet and continue through classes in this manner until they enter the history room. Here lies the biggest monster of them all: the mother bell, or the boss bell taccording to the way bells are classified.J Being the largest, she is probably the eldest and smartestg her schemes prove it. She waits very patiently for forty minutes until the class has reached the state when everyone is oil' somewhere in a pink cloud, and then - she rings! She achieves the greatest ambition of any bell: waking up everyone in the room, not just five or six, but everyone. Another ungodly trait of these devilish devices is that they seem to reproduce faster than guinea pigs. They are found the world over. Even at home, after one has been counting the hells till vacation, dreaming of what it will be like to wake up without being sprung out of bed, some brat of a little brother rings an alarm clock in your ear! I have always wondered if there is a place where these disgusting pieces of machinery have never been heard of. Maybe I shall emigrate to an uncivilized South Sea island - that is my idea of paradise!

If you' prefer the latter, then you will probably agree that religion is a state of mind: the expression within yourself of a faithlin the outward world, realization of wrong and the will to rectify it. The out- ward expressions, the church services and dogma, are immaterial. Quite the contrary, meditation and persuasive reasoning are essential to faith and practice. The external sign is needed merely to give momentum to the initial thought. 4 The Old Testament stories are mostly poetic interpretations of inex- plicable phenomena: creation of the universe, of our world, of fauna and flora, and ultimately of the races of mankind and the formation of their languages. Moreover, there may not have been a Jesus Christ who was bornof a virgin and nailed to a cross. He may be but the symbolic epi- tome of the perfect man, which we may use as a criterion for our behavior. The dark, quiet, closed-in roomg a clear night at the sea shore with waves gently washing against the beachg a still night in the woods with only the cri-ckets and frogs chirpingg a quietly sung simple hymn, or a descriptive poem: these things lead me to meditation, Where I find religion. SERENA BLYTH, '58 WHY I LOVE HIM What is a father? He is a mixture of many moods and emotions. Al- though we may not realize it - a father is full of a 'vast knowledge, perhaps not of high-school Latin and geography, but a knowledge of the experiences of life. And he is willing to give up some of this information for the mere asking. His likes and dislikes are simple. He likes his little girl, but doesn't care much for the one next door. - He loves antiques and the color redg and loves a tire when it's cold outside. He hates to spend money and hates all the chromium on the new cars. He still likes his beer in the can, the sun, and the Long Island Sound in the sum- mer. Besides these seemingly harmless 0 characteristics, however, a father can be pretty terrifying, especially if you are a little girl. Wlleli you are young, it's hard to realize that youare col- lecting vast bits of information and ' experience, all of which will help you inlater life. It is one of the jobs of the parents tovsee that their child gets the right information and has the right experiences. A mothercan usually be pretty patient concerning this job, but it is a different story when it comes to a father. Sometimes he can get very impatient with you for himselfj. This causes him to, as my brother calls it - blow his top ! The fact he is a man can make this all the more terrifying. But it turns out that these few frightening moments are quite good for us in our grow- ing up, and besides, they only last a few moments. .X life with father is always filled with little memories one wouldn't trade for a million dollars. Such a memory is the yearly trip to the auto- mobile show. A good father always is willing to donate a few Saturdays here and there to his children. If you have father who does this, you don't mind if the trips are devoted to such things as boat shows or the annual General Motors Show. You see I have a brother and when they get together the talk is of nothing but motors and wheels, etc. My brother figured that the only democratic way to decide where to go would be to take a vote. It was always one-to-two in favor of the G. M. Show. fThis is how I became so interested in carsj. A father is like his children in many ways. VVhen mine is hurt be- cause I have done wrong, he makes me unhappy too. But when he is hap- py because I have pleased him, he can make me feel wonderful. Now that I am almost grown up I find that our little likes and dislikes are very much the same. I love antiques and the color red, a fire when it's cold outside, and the seashore. I hate all the chromium on the new cars. I think that fathers are the first to let you know when you have changed from a little girl to a big girl. They donit expect too much, only that you try to be a good daughter. SARAH HERRMANN, '58 SPRING CLEANING Some people get 'Spring Feverjt but my mother becomes a victim of Spring Cleaning Fever. She usually contracts this after visiting one of her well-organized, systematic friends. My father and I are enrolled as assistants and given definite chores. She sets out with a vengeance and everything must be done immediately! Off come the slipcoversg up come the rugs, down come the curtains, and we are off once more! The wash- ing machine is put to work overtime. Meals are served cafeteria style and simply frightful! Mother changes here personality and becomes a com- manding general ordering us about. Knowing this condition will not last long, Dad and I do our best to keep up the pace. About the third day of her illness, motherfs enthusiasm begins to fade. XVe continue with the work, but at a much slower pace. About the fourth day I am not surprised to find her reading a Great Books selection while the curtains wait to be ironed. Now the cleaning has slowed down to a crawl and mother is almost herself again. With a little extra effort the curtains are finally up, slipcovers replaced, and rugs down again. Mother shows definite signs of a complete recovery from her fever,', and our home is once more an unsystematic, but relaxing and enjoyable place in which to live.

JANE Mnzrzs, '60 ff 9 nll '1 X LESLIE I As she jumped 'out of the car and tore across the field, I knew her master-brain was again atwork cooking up some new mischievous prank. Her long black hair, though many's the time we tried to have her cut it, flowed down her back as she ran, making a deep contrast with her bright red jacketj' ' 1 Even at the age of two, Leslie was considered a tomboy. I remember her squealing with delight if she even spied a boy. Now at the age of ten she still squeals with delight if she spies a boy. While Walkingldown the street with her in Miami, where she lives, I feel faintly uncomfortable, for every few steps I hear 6'Hi, Leslie! How have you been ? I'll bet she knows every boy in town! Of course,.I do realize she is a naturally friendly child, but does she have to be so friendly that she stays around and helps me, as she puts it, uentertaini' my boyfriends? A I 'Looking back at these little things, I remember hating her: hating her long black hair, hating her for knowingnall those boys I+ just plain hating her. Sometimes I even wishedrshe would die.. I Now as I watched her skip across the field that September day it oc- curred to me someday in the near future we would be competitors in the same field: boys. Suddenly I didn't see her . . . I didn't see the long black hair flowing down her back . . . I didn't see that red jacket . . . I didn't see Leslie. My heart was in my throat as I jumped out of the car and frantically scanned the huge field. All I coud think of was the ravine . . . she had fallen into that treacherous ravine. As I started running through the field I remembered my last thoughts . u. . I wished she were dead . . . dead . . . dead. It crucified me. That was all I could think of . .Q . all I could hear. Leslie was dead . . . Leslie was dead and I had wished it on her. I wasamurderer . . . murderer. Stumbling on trying to fight back the tears, I suddenly remembered all the nice things she had done for me: not telling I had broken the vase, sticking up for me when mother was going to punish me, giving me the things I wanted most - little things that didn't matter to me at the time they happened, but now mattered a lot. Thenlsaw it. Itwasahole . . . no-a pit . . . alarge pit. Icou1dn't tell! It seemed an eternity before I finally got there . . . but suddenly I was there kneeling down peering into a dark pit. I thought I saw some- thing . . . or heard something. Then I saw her . . . her long black hair covering here pretty face . . . that bright red jacket, I wanted to cry, laugh, shout, scream! The next thing I remember was holding her head on my lap . . . she wasn't dead! My Leslie wasn't dead! JOY SCHABACKER, '60 THE DROUGHT I woke up in the morning and saw the sun rising, promising another hot day. I went downstairs and ate. Afterwards I Went outside and was confronted with a choking whirlwind of dust and dirt as the wind started to blow. It got in my eyes, nose and mouth. It even went down my back and seemed to seep in under my fingernails. I tied my scarf over my face and struggled on. ' - I began my chores. The chickens raced up to me as I scattered the dry feed over the rough ground. The pigs grun'ted as I emptied the gar- bage pail into their trough. The horses seemed to ask for more water after I had finished feeding and watering them - water which I cou1dn't give them. I went about the rest of my work, the hot sun beating mercilessly down on my back. I sweated, mopped it up with a neckerchief, and then sweated some more. After lunch I rode around the vast area of the ranch to look at the cattle. They were skinny and their eyes had a dull, listless look. They were standing by the water hole, which had hardly any water in it. I looked a little beyond it and saw, scattered about, the ones that hadn't made it. Evening settled in and the sun set, but still the awful heat persisted. I rode back to the house dejected, asking myself, How long can we last without rain? When will it end? When ?

This predicament was brought to my attention several days ago ' S tt Bootsg while I was at home. We have a big black and tan Gordon e er, and also a very large, slippery kitchen floor. Boots just loves to run, and rarely stops, even when he is in the house. ll H l l a s leaves an unmistakable trail of rugs pushed to the wa e a so a w y from his last passage, or even sometimes a broken lamp. I guess the main e son for his running is that he is usually being chased-either by mother, r a who is hot On the trail of a lost shoe, or by one of my brothers just out for ' I k't l n some fun. All running stops when Boots reaches the door to the 1 c ie , howeverg he has learned to tread carefully there. ' l This particular day Boots seemed to forget all he had previous y ex- perienced. The kitchen door was open, the floor with its fresh coat of wax b ll . Boots looked like a mirror. Then it happened. The back door e rang tore out of the library like something shot from a cannon, leaving his usual trail of strewn carpets behind. Through the hall like a flash, letting k't l n out his deep warning barks the whole way. XVhen he reached the 1 c ie d it was too late, that spot was reached and suddenly seventy-five oor pounds hit the floor with at thud. Four black and tan feet were going in various Odd directions and one tan chin soundly hit the hard floor. The mortified look that now came upon Boot's face was sad. He strug- gled to get up, but each time he did there would be slipping and sliding, followed by the inevitable thud. I finally reached the back door, after a hazardous but successful trip. 'Ihere stood my mother who had forgotten her keys. Boots looked even more dejected now in his four point landing. I guess the thought of its being just mother - not a delivery man - was just the end.

Martin, you look too beautiful for words ! Now I'll get some music and I'll show you how to dance - none of this rock and roll junk that you kids call dancing, but a real Highland Fling. With his kilts flying and his head proud, my noble sixty- year-old boy friend easily exe- cuted the intricate steps of the Highland Fling. He was dress- ed in his regiment uniform of the First World War, and even if there were a few moth holes here and there, he presented a Bonnie sight. Do you think it odd to have an older man as such a close friendg and above all this man your grandmother's - gardener? Ever since I can remember, he has been with my grand- mother. He worked for her when my parents were married and then gave them a clock that still hangs in our living room. In the beginning he was more of a babysitter than anything else. He was someone to get Teddy out of the house. When my mother found out, through a slip of my tongue, that Martin's idea of entertaining me was 'teaching me how to gamble and play cards, she threw a fit. Who do you think was blamed? Martin, for corrupting the mind of an inno- cent, young girl? Oh, no! Teddy was blamed for forcing Martin to teach her how to gamble. ' Martin has worked on me all my life trying to cultivate my Scotch accent, and I'm afraid I'm not too apt a pupil. He has never lost his burr, although he has been in the United States for over forty years. He has also tried to teach me all the songs of his native land. We used to drive down the Post Road singing themat the top of our lungs. I was a better pupil in this respect, and now I know close to twenty of his songs. Martin,s wife is my idea of the perfect grandmother. She fits into the little gate house as if it had been built especially for her. Upon entering there is always the faint smell of tea and toast in the air, and a tea cup materializes seemingly out of no'wi1ere as soon as you sit down. Then we all talk about the 'tgood old dayst' back in Scotland when Martin and his wife were young. Usually, they never talk about the present unless my grandmother has done something funny recently. Instead they talk about the Scotland of their youth, of people my own age, of the great war, and of the ones they left behind .... I could go on telling stories about my Martin all day: the funny little places he takes me, the barber he goes to every time he comes to Green- wich, our walks in Bruce Park to feed the ducks while Martin talks over some new idea in gardening with the gardeners in the park. You see, I've known him all my life, and he has been my close friend for that long. When Martin dies he will surely go to the part of heaven reserved especially for Scotsmen. TEDDY FISHER, '60 YO, HO, HO AND A BOTTLE OF RUM CRASH! The little boy started, dropped Treasure Is- land, and stared in Wide-eyed' surprise at a mass of glazed clay chunks that had recently been a rather nice Ming vase. A bushy, ghostlike tail flowed around a set of books and vanished, soon replaced by the impish head of the family cat, Geronimo, as he surveyed his latest bit of wreckage. The little boy laughed at his fear - over a silly alley-cat. What if he had glanced up and met, not the wondering gaze of puss. but the barbed scowl of a pirate-from Trip- oli! He peered carefully around the room, and, satis- Bed that no other creatures but himself and the cat were present, returned to his pond of light and resumed reading. ' The clock tolled ten in a more ominous, final tone than usual. The house was silent except for the now-and-then crackle of a page as the boy advanced farther into the land of pirates, pieces-of-eight, and skeletons. As if out of nowhere, a blast of wind hit the house, rattling the win- dows and screeching around the doors. Again the lad jumped and looked about, with more care this time, to assure himself that everything was as it should be. A curtain swayed, revealing the glimmer of metal - steel, perhaps - cold, sharp steel like the scimitar of a pirate. A weapon that probably thousands - pirates do slash about wildly, you know - of inno- cent people had beheld before their lives were nothing more than nicks in its handle. The child was immobile except for his eyes, which darted from one end of the room to the other as he tried to discern objects through sleep- blurred vision. He cautiously hazarded a backward glance around the over-stuffed chair, half-expecting to see Long John Silver. But there was only a slightly dusty floor, that had not even so much as a bit of the film displaced much less a whole set of foot-prints on it. Deciding the action was fairly safe, the child lifted the flounce around the bottom of the chair, relaxing slightly when he found the same, boring floor-scope. There - he again saw the gleam behind the curtain. Silently, with terror-pounding heart, he planned his method of attack - how, he might disarm the pirate the gasped the word under his breathj that surely lurked behind the lovely brocade curtains that had a thick, maroon fringe around the bottom. After careful deliberation, he concluded that 'going around the side of the room and advancing from behind would be the most successful means, provided that the Barbarian had no friends carefully stashed away in like manner behind the intervening curtains. Armed with a jagged-edged carving knife, which he hadhsnatched on the run from the kitchen, he crept back into the living-room and stealthily weaved through the maze of chairs and lamps, sticking close to the wall, as if attached by an invisible M inch-long chain. Too soon, he reached the dreaded curtain. The decisive moment, he thought, as he raised his makeshift saber-and poked it around the edge of the material. He squeezed his eyes tight, tight, tight and jabbed and thrust. Finally, with one stupendous slash fpowerful enough to finish even the largest piratej, he cut a broad swath through the air, taking with it a bit of the lovely brocade curtain that had a thick, maroon fringe around the bottom. Hearing the expensive rip of something more costly than butcher's linen the little boy opened his eyes, and with a somewhat mortified gaze beheld, not a bold buccanneer, but a foot-long, ventilated strip of curtain. Behind it glimmered tl1e steel -- the cold, hard steel of a window-frame, circa 1956. He tiptoed back to the kitchen, sure that his pirate was somewhere about, and with ininite care, laid the guilty knife back in the drawer, suck- ing his breath in loudly as he heard the metal clank against its drawer-fel- lows. Perhaps the pirate had gone. The boy took heart in the idea, and with considerably renewed confidence, picked up Treasure Island and skipped off to bed. ' The hallway was dark, except for a night-light which glowed with a sickly, green pallor. The boy cautiously approached his slightly-open door, darted his hand in and flicked on the light. Obviously relieved to be again in a bright room, he hastily shut the door and hopped into bed. . His eyes snapped shut as he tried in vain to get to sleep. A11 he could think of was pirates - pirates, each with one leg, and all presided over by a gigantic cyclopean creature whose every command was mimicked by a moldy parrot perched on his shoulder. I I I I I I I I I I I I r I 1 I i I I I I I I I I I I ! I v 1 I I I I I I I 1 I I I 1 I I I A radiator knocked - but was it a radiator? Perhaps it was the stride of a mahogany foot, whose home is under the skull and cross-bones. The boy shut his eyes tighter and buried his head under the pillow. Still the pounding continued, only now it was accompanied by the wind singing Fifteen men on a dead man's chest, interrupted by a raucous, Yo, ho, ho, and a bottle of rum. Pirates! VVho in these times fprecisely twenty minutes past ten on the fifth day of August, 19571 has ever seen a pirate? The boy tried hard to convince himself that they no longer existed as he cautiously poked his head under the bed to see if the population -of the room had increased within the past few hours. W , g CEC! WITTMANN, '58 THE LIGHT I climbed the hill away from the town, I climbed the hill never once looking down. For no light would shine in that town tonight. No light to show me if I'd been right To do what I'd done and take flight-. So I sought my light on top of the hill. Will some poor fool tell me what to do 'F For with this hand I could have killed, And with this heart I could have hated. Yes, tonight I could have taken The life of a man - But instead I turned and ran. For I had no right to take that light. And I turned and ran out into the night. So I sought my light on top of the hill, And saw the stars and the moon God had made. Then I turned and looked back and saw my town, But it was my town no longerg It was the town where Christ was born, And a light shone clear and strong. A light from a stable was shining there, It blazed as the answer to my prayer. Was this my sign? Was this my faith? Can faith return even after hate? This humble stable in the center of town, Was this, then, where my Lord lay down? TEDDY Flsc HER, '60 WLM AE l- Dire Engagements Mary Carney to Mr. George Armand Blazon of Lowell, Massachusetts.

Cynthia Mooberry Bartholomew's most interesting and attractive card shows us that the Bartholomews, Peter, Cynthia, Ripper, Butchie, and Bonnie 11ow live in the Philippines. Cynthia writes that they have been moving around the world and loving it - last year they were in Okinawa at Christ mas. Peter, Cynthia's husband, is associated with American International Underwriters for the Philippines, Incorporated, whose office is located in the American International Building, 239 Juan Luna, Manila. It sounds like a most fascinating life! We have recently learned the Washington address of Elizabeth Ann Edge Carter. It is 3612 O Street, N. W., Washington 7, D. C. Incidentally she is Mrs. Harry Tyson Carter. This fall Eleanor Dodge Sullivan and her husband, John, visited school. They showed us pictures of their extremely modern new house in La Jolla, California, where their address is 8534 E1 Paseo Grande. Having received the degree of Associate in Applied Science from Caze- novia Junior College last June, Barbara Scobie has accepted a position as medical secretary with the Department of Microbiology at The Yale Medi- cal School, New Haven, Connecticut. She is working under the direction of Professor Henry P. Trefers in what should prove to be a most interesting assignment. Kay Wallace now has the impressive title of Campus International Administrator with the International Commission, United States National Student Association, 142 Mount Auburn Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts. Kay writes that she literally works out of Cambridge, as by the time June rolls around, she will have spent about six months in visiting colleges and universities throughout the country. Last summer she was given the op- portunity to work as orientation staff member on a student ship, so she won herself a second summer in Europe. She also wrote that her father and mother are building a new house which is practically at Governor Dum- mer's back door, so, at the present writing, we don't know her correct address. Margery Guimaraes Cleverdon also has a new address. The Clever- dons have recently moved to 15 Bernard Road, Wellesley Hills, Massachu- setts, and Margery writes that they love it as she and her husband and their three children -- plus a new puppy - now have room to spread out! A Christmas card from Polly Jones Hoff, her husband, Bill, and their two and a half year old son tells that they, as well as Polly's mother, Ethel Stark Jones, are all fine. The Hoffs live at 4469 North VVoodburn Street, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Elizabeth St. John Bruce has sent Mrs. MacGay a copy of the cook book which she helped the Plymouth Antiquarian Society to compile. It is called The Plimouth Colony Cook Book. She wrote that she thought that our present students might like to see what a pupil of the first year of Rogers Hall is doing now. She also gives lectures to women's clubs, so she is a very busy lady. Libby Filer Anderson wrote Mrs. MacGay news of the entire Filer family. Li'bby's Tim is in his last year at the School of Design at Harvard and she is Working at Design Research Incorporated, of Cambridge, as assistant to its President. She says that it's a wonderful job and so nearly allied to what Tim is studying, that all conversations on the subject are no longer foreign to her. Mary Jane Filer Platt and her husband, Skip, have had a second son, Daniel Enoch. And Margarita is busy teaching freshman English at Berhend Center, an extension of Penn State, in Erie. She is also librarian there. Libby and Tim have moved to 53 Mount Auburn Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and are very happy with their new apart- ment. They expect to stay in this area for a few more years, which pleases them very much as they love New England. Karen Hansen's Christmas card tells us that she has left the advertising department of The New Yorker and is now with a small television com- mercial animated film company which is located in a delightful brown stone house on East 55th Street in New York City. Karen has been spend- ing summers in Denmark and part of last summer she was in Greece, so she considers herself very lucky. We think so, too! ' A Jean Mcllwraith, whose engagement is announced in this issue, is working for the Cleveland Orchestra where she is the .typi-cal Girl Friday. She lives in Shaker Heights, Ohio, at 2572 Kemper Road, Apartment 9. Jean writes that of course it is wonderful to be in such close contact with all that music, adding that she often. thinks how Beverly Cooke Nowaczynski would adore her job. Beverly, i-ncidentally, and her husband, Wojciech, stopped in at school last summer. They were returning from a vacation on Cape Cod to their home in Canada and could barely wait to get back to their two little girls. Beverly, however, seemed willing to take time out to show her Wojceich every inch of her old school and had a wonderful time doing it. It was fun for us, too, as Beverly hasn't changed a bit. The Nowaczynskis' address in Canada is C. P. 174, St. Sauveur-des-Monts, Prov- ince of Quebec. A more recent visitor was Vickie Kiser, who came during Christmas vacation. Having transferred from The Garland School, Vickie entered The American Academy of Dramatic Art in New York City this fall, but she was obliged to go into a hospital for an operation shortly after the term began. As this goes to press, we presume that she will have entered the school again at the beginning of the second semester, but when she was here, she was doing some modeling and also having a very gay time social- ly. Fortunately, she looked very well and also said that she felt as good as new when she was here, so we hope that everything will be all right for her from now on. A Cynthia Burrage Schofield and her husband, George, were in St. Louis, Missouri, at Christmas, but in January George was to enter the United States Air Force and they were to go to Dayton, Ohio. As Cynthia wrote, they are having a wonderful opportunity to live in parts previously un- known to them. ' J . Once again Louise Lee and her mother have moved. They have left Lake Forest, Illinois, and returned to Grosse Pointe, where' their address IS 9 ShorecrestACircle, South, Grosse Pointe Shores 36, Michigan. Louise wrote that they had enjoyed Lake Forest, but nevertheless they were hap- py to be back home. A Dorothy Chisholm Van Nest has remarried and is now Mrs. H. R. Rice. Her address is 5036 North Barton Road, Cleveland 24, Ohio. Kitty Chamberlain has a position with the National Audubon Society in their library in New York City. Kitty also was one of our visitors this fall. Ethel Shenton Jones has changed her address to 5 Bristol Street in Nashua, New Hampshire. She is very busy as she is a teacher of elocution and has a studio of her own in Nashua. Recent alumnae will be interested to learn of the birth of a daughter, Pamela Ruth, to Mr. and Mrs. Tim Blanchard of Danvers, Massachusetts, on July 22, 1957. Mrs. Blanchard is the former Miss Constance Miltimore, who for two years was director of physical education at Rogers Hall. Judy Drick has been working in the Research and Art Departments of the advertising agency, Foote, Cone, and Belding. She writes that it hasebeen extremely fascinating to her, as her work is primarily concerned with her major interest, Practical Art. From her Christmas card we learned that Jean Holt McDermott now lives in Indianapolis, Indiana, at 218 East 28th Street. Sally Allen has been elected a member of the 1958 May Court by the sophomores at Mary Washington College of The University of Virginia. Catherine Welch Clancey is now residing in Madrid, Spain, where her husband is stationed with the United States Air Force. The Clanceys expect to be in Spain until May of 1960. This fall we were happy to welcome as members of our school several girls who have alumnae connections. Theodora, better known as Teddy, Fisher is the sister of Sue Fisher. Ann Flynn and Barbara Gilford are the daughters of Margaret Macreery Flynn and Eleanor Preston Gifford. And in our day department, Carolyn Rockwell, the sister of Gail Rockwell, and Susan Wilson, the daughter of Marjorie Ann Proctor Wilson, entered Rog- ers hall.

We cannot possibly help others or improve the world if we refuse to forge ahead, to blaze new trails, to have new experiences. The achievements of the past are useful, yes, but only as beacons to guide us, to shape our values, no more. We must not wish in vain to hold back time. We would then die-our spirits, our individuality, would be as a stagnant pool while the rushing stream of life detoured around. Would we wish to remain a perpetual sweet sixteen? If we could, we would be seriously limiting ourselves. Our personali- ties would be mere skeletons of what they might have been. The life, the friends we leave, were meant to complete but a few degrees of the circle that is to be our world. Commencement is but the beginning, a chance to advance, a chance to make new friends, live new experiences, learn more about life. We have made discoveries the past year. But they are by no means the last discoveries that we shall make. In fact, they have been the prelude, a kind of appetizer of what is to follow. Let us look back upon the year with remembrance but with the realization that it has been but a stepping stone on our paths. enior Class SENIOR SONG TUNE: The Way You Look Tonight Undergrads, soon we will have gone, Time has moved us on But we will be thinking of you always For you are so dear to us. Cae and Kava, we will miss you so, We know what we leave- Sportsmanship and honor with you always- Try to keep them near to you. As we seniors bid you adieu, Welll be so sad without you. All our lives we'll remember you still Though we are far away. Seniors, saying our farewell, Feeling badly, too. Rogers Hall we must be leaving But we always will remember you. From the class of '58.

I took my magic carpet to the nearest shcoting star, from which I hopped over to the Milky Way. There I met Hans Christian Andersen and the Grimms Brothers with the Rogers Hall Class of 1958 on their way to a picnic beside the Golden River on top of the Glass Mountain. While walking through the woods near this merry band, I met Little Nancy Riding Hood, as always, looking for a Wolf. The Wolf, however, on his way to Grand- mother MacGay s house, had stopped off to blow down the spaghetti house of the Three Little Pigs-Chubby O'Connell, Rosy Round Reynolds and Brown'n'Serve Estes who, after graduating from Rogers Hall, had for a while been tasters at Cushman's Bakery. As I journeyed along the path l met Red Shoes Carroll trying Qin vain I am afraidj to teach Hans Clodhopper Purdy to bop. Apparently thumping up Senior Corridor had ruined the latter's feet for the intricacies of this difficult dance. I went around a lollipop tree and found Tweedle Dum Fowler and Tweedle De Pitt braiding Double Bubble into Rapunzel Goodale's hair as she leaned from her tower watching for Prince Edward, who was delayed playing tiddly-winks with Goose Girl Wagner. Steadfast Tin Soldier Bonney was looking askance at this naughty pair. Their prank was unsanitary and detrimental to the health of poor Rapunzel's pony tail. She was constantly distracted by The Little Match Girl Estelle, who was busy giving him a hotfoot. Down the road a piece I met Pat Haass riding her white horse to Banbury Cross via Florida. From the opposite direction Kay Thumb roared by in a chariot drawn by Town Mouse Chalmers and Country Mouse Giflin on her way to a meeting of the AAA. Nearby I heard a voice chant in slurring Peruvian accents Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of all? I was not surprised to discover Queen Mariella in her mirrored glade. I cocked my mortarboard over one eye and hopped jauntily through her looking glass, landing in the midst of a croquet match between Snow Queen Sarah and Queen Deborah of Hearts, who, as usual had the boys bent double Cin this case to form wicketsj. Ellen in Wonderland was clutching a hedgehog as she chased fto the tune of a Viennese Waltzj after her croquet mallet, a Migliore Hamingo in full plumage. As I strolled through the shady woods I saw Diane Be Nimble dancing merrily out of the grasp of the Young Giant With the Three Golden Hairs. From their perch on a low branch of a Peanut-Buter and Jelly Sandwich Tree, Doug and Steve peered through the leaves at the strange goingsqon. I Off to the left was a potato chip castle with a coca-cola moat. The Marsh IQ1ng's Daughter, Charlotte, was listening at the North Pretzel Gate as Prince Peter Big Ears tried to wake Sleeping Beauty Carpenter from her afternoon nap. The Wind Whistled Pomp and Circumstance as Lynne Robinson Hood buzzed by the Wittmann Fountain of Knowledge. She soon regretted not having taken a taste of the sharp, tangy waters when she smashed her shiny green tricycle into Johnie Walker's bridge which crossed Moonbeam River. O X Running frantically, withther black bag under her arm, came the Blythe Angel ready to administer first aid and ease Robinsor1hood's aching muscles. It had been a long, busy day catching up on the class of '58. I was not surprised to meet Barbara, the Lamplighter, apparently still keeping her late hours. She mumbled as she went about her task of lighting Hreflies, It's about that time. BETSIE WAGNER DEBBY GIFFIN CECI WITTMANN JUNE 2 T'was the night before Commencement And all through the school Students were breaking every little rule. The dresses were hung in the closets with care With hopes that they wouldn't shrink too small to wear. The Seniors were supposedly snuggled in bed While visions of smoke curled up in their head. And I in my curlers, my roommate in cap, Had just settled down for a long, gossipy chat, When out in the park there arose such a clatter That Betsie and Tory investigated the matter. The headlights of the cop car revealed in their glow Nancy and Debby making whoopie below. The moon refiecting on the white picket fence Revealed others-determined that fun would commence. And what did our devilish eyes happen to see? Who was it? Miss Ramsay! Up in a tree! Down the fire rope we slid, after flicking the lights- Who were we to stay hid, just watching the sights! More eager than freshmen we flew to the park, Followed by Queenie's shrill little bark. The first round of coke was downed in a Hash When Gretchen and Jo arrived with a crash. Our faces were saddened but spirits were jolly As we committed our crimes, a senior's last folly. Sarah and Sue were next to arrive, The place was beginning to look half alive! As we finished our pizzas and were turning around, The last of the group arrived with a bound. We were all dressed in Madris: a casual twenty-nine- When parkers began to fall for our line. We peeked in a blue Nash and whom did we see But Miss Olds camping out: She'd forgotten her key! Quiet, yelled Serena, Heaven knows how we've waited-- So let's take it easy and not get elated! But who's this arriving to break up our fun? Bill, Manuel and faculty all on the run. We decided to quit and dashed to our dorms Thinking that this was the last of our reforms.

H. GOD SAVE THE SCHOOL! iterar FROGS When the frogs begin to sing, Then the mountains know itls spring. Singing the glory of the earth, Chanting the epic of her birth, Piping life from every rill, Piping the dance of the daffodil, Singing because the woods smell clean, Exulting because the moss is green, They pipe the fern by the mountain pool. They pipe because the rain is cool, Singing the gladness of the breeze Which preens the feathers on the trees. They cheer the rising of each new sun, They cheer 'til the race of the brooks is won They sing duets with the great redwingg They sing, they sing, because it's spring. SUSANNAH CARROLL, ,58 Winner of First Prize BUT IT DID NOT FALL The rain Came And beat against the City. The storm raged. Each drop differed- All together made a raging turmoil. And the rain beat against the city, But it did not fall. The snow came And loaded a lonely tree. But the tree stood on. Gallantly it stood against the storm: It did not waver but stood strong. And the snow beat against the tree, But it did not fall. The wind carne And gnawed at the house. It tore the shutters free. But inside the home was warrng The gale could not Hght its warmth. And the windibeat against the house, But it did not fall. The evil came And beat against the world. A few weak faltered, But the good would not waver, The right stood on. And the evil beat against the world, But it did not fall. DIANE E. DUBRULE, '60 Winner of Second Prize SOLILOQUY In the bleak days of winter When it seems Spring will never come I anxiously wait for early buds Or a rainbow in the sky. Yes, I wait-depressed. Each morning I rise To look for a hint- A bird's twitter at dawn Or the fresh smell of mint. Yes, I wait-depressed. As each day arrives I'm oblivious to all- I see no majestic flowers Nor leaves nor trees And suddenly it's Fall. Then, I wait-depressed. This is the story of my lifeg I always hope for a better thing Never appreciate the present And always miss the Spring I just wait-depressed. LYNNE ROBINSON 58 DECEMBER SEVENTH Somebody said todayls a black day, But it s not really black- Though the sky is gray and the winds and rain have come For peace reigns and freedom blows. DIANE E DUBRULE 60 THE CALLING OF THE SEA I walked on the beach with the wind blowing wild and the waves splashing high on the wall. There was a silence and a loneliness and it was then that I heard a faint call. I listened hard and listened long. It could have been the whispering sands or the sea gulls' lonely song. But as I walked on the beach with the wind blowing wild, I was content to believe that it was but the sounds of the night and the calling of the sea. CYNTHIA MIGLIORE, '58 REMEMBRANCE I saw thee come so gently along the countryside, Majestic Lady Spring, thy robe of colors bright. The birds sang gaily in the sunlit trees, The new born leaves were swaying in the breeze. Flowers bloomed in countless brilliant shades, Welcoming the sun as mothers new born babes. The whole world seemed to cry with beauty bare, I felt within my heart a joy beyond compare. But now the rain is falling in torrents through the trees, The new born leaves hang lifeless, no more swaying in the breeze The thunder rocks the heavens and quakes the countryside, The flowers have bent over, have lost their colors bright, Yet Spring, thou'st come again tomorrow, perchance another days Once more I'l1 see thy beauty and watch it fade away. I'll have more happy moments which last but for a while. I know that Spring will soon return, come down the countryside And during those few moments of happiness and glee, I'll soon forget the sound of rain which falls amongst the trees.

DUBRULE, '60 WINTER BY THE SEA I love the cold salt air that beats against my cheeksg It makes me feel alive after summer's deadly heat. I love to watch the surf splash hard against the rocks, And then roll back to sleep in a deep, cold, placid spot. I love to see the fishing boats outlined in silvery glass, They look as if one had molded them from a cake of snow-white wax. I love to watch the snow come tumbling down with speed, Then vanish when it touches the ocean's wet majestic sea. To you my thoughts may seem cold and bitter, To me they are just home in the winter.

T. FIRST TEAM HOCKEY The day of the first team hockey game finally arrived after having been postponed many times because of the flu QAsiaticj. November 20 was an icy-cold day. A few 'coon clad spectators had come prepared. Both Cae and Kava played well: Bets Candee was a star dribbler-an equal match for Kavals Cynthia Crandell. Though Charlotte Marsh guarded the goal excellently, Kava had racked up a score of 3 to Cae's 1 at the end of the first half. In the second half, Cae maneuvered the ball past fullback Lyn Rockwell Coh, her l-o-n-g drivesj for 2 goals, while Kava also made two. The latter would have had three, but Cynthia Crandell told the referee that she had kicked the ball through the goal-posts, making it invalid. Though both teams were missing regular members, they played well-with the spirit and sportsmanship for which their clubs stand.

Although there were few spectators, the cheering was loud and enthusiastic. Cae club, led by its captain, Kay Morrill, played a good game with a great deal of enthusiasm and good sportsmanship. Of special note was the goal work by Charlotte Marsh and Betsy Candee's unique job of bullying. The Kavas played an outstanding game both offensively and defensively. Beryl Joiner as center forward fought hard to successfully make several goals. She was backed up by her teammates in several admirable plays. Martha F errini, playing fullback, was instrumental in preventing many of Cae's attempts at scoring with her excellent defense of Kava's goal. It was an exciting, well-played game and from beginning to end the score was very close. But in the last few minutes, Kava made a goal and went on to win the game by a final score of 8-9. CAE team-K.

ANDOVER DANCE AND CONCERT The Andover band arrived in full force Friday, December 7, for their joint concert and dance with Rogers Hall. This year something new was tried. The con- cert was presented after dinner instead of before. The band, under the direction of Mr. William Clift, gave an excellent performance based on a variety of types of pieces, such as Tschaikowsky's 'fThemes from Italian Caprice, Polla's 'gDancing Tambourine, and Myers Fiesta Calypso. The R. H. glee club, under the direction of Miss LeButt, sang '4Break Forth, O' Beauteous Heav'nly Lightl' by Bach, Let There Be Musicn by Williams, plus Borodin's Polevetsian Dance from 'Prince Igor', which was accompanied by the band. After the concert the boys all pitched in to help move aside the chairs. The addition of Ken Reeve's dance band and softer lights transformed the Concert Hall into a Ballroom. During the intermission we were entertained by the Syncopated Eight and Andover's Sour Grapes. The dance was a great success and it seemed like no time at all before the band played Goodnight, Ladiesf' But the end of the dance did not mean the end of Phillips Academy, for the next day Mrs. MacGay and Miss LeButt received beautiful Howers from the band, and letters began to flow in, post-marked Andover, Massachusetts. S. H. CHRISTMAS VESPERS On Sunday evening, December 16, the main classroom was the scene of a great event. The same room in which we had studied for weeks was suddenly trans- formed by candle light into something almost breath-taking. The cause of this transformation was Christmas Vespers, one of the foremost events of the school year at Rogers Hall. The Glee Club-dressed in white blouses and black skirts-was seated at the front of the room. Parents, friends, the faculty, and the remainder of the students filled the desks in the back of the classroom. Serena Blyth, the president of the Student Council, began the ceremony by reading a selection from the Bible. The Glee Club, under the direction of Miss Le- Butt, and the Octet sang an array of Christmas songs. Following this was a reading by Barbara Gifford and a selected group of original literary pieces by a few members of the student body. Finally the big moment arrived when Mrs. MacGay passed out the senior rings. About twenty-odd smiling seniors received these long-awaited-for objects-gold rings with the coat of arms of the Rogers family and bearing the in- scription HNOS Nostraque Deon . . . . Christmas Vespers was then brought to a close with everyone singing Joy to the World -an appropriate carol that expressed the feelings of all at the time. jA.V. CHRISTMAS FESTIVITIES BANQUET u On Tuesday evening, December 17, the students of Rogers Hall proceeded into the dining room singing Deck The Hallsn for the traditional Christmas supper. Mrs. MacGay and her guests were seated at the long table at the far end of the room. Between courses of the delicious turkey dinner, the Glee Club, under the direc- tion of Miss Dorothy LeButt, provided entertainment by singing some of the favorite Yuletide carols. After the much-enjoyed meal, everyone went to the gym for the Christmas play . mg, 'K L, mv?

THE EXETER DANCE On January 18 Rogers Hall was, for the second time, anticipating a glee club dance-this time with Exeter. At about 5:00, in the midst of what everyone thought was a snow flurry, Exeter arrived. The two glee clubs then had a rehearsal in the gym for the concert to be given that night, After the rehearsal, everyone met their dates for the evening. Fcllowing the buffet supper, the girls went upstairs to freshen up a bit and discuss their dates with everyone else. By the time all had reached the gym and had shaken out their wet things fthe 'Cflurry had turned into an almost full-fledged blizzardl the concert began. Both glee clubs did a creditable job, both individually and to- gether singing 'fLa Belle Helenef' and as a result, the concert was a true success. The gym, which had been decorated earlier on the theme of Around the World in 80 Days,', was the scene of laughter and dancing for the next three hours. During the course of the evening, the two octets sang a medley of songs. The Excter Octet made a valiant effort with only three members present to represent that musical organization . , . After a series of lengthy and generally sad good-byes, the boys left.. It was snowing harder than ever as everyone returned to their own houses, tired but happy ..., Thank you for a wonderful dance, Exeter! J. A. v.

The game was sparked by beautiful serves and spikes. There was good playing on both sides, shown by the score during the first half-a tie. The second half proved a fight till the end, although Cac's nervousness seemed to increase with Nancy O'Connell's continual spikes. Kava finally pulled through ahead with a close score of 35-32. M.

The serving was outstanding, Joy Schabacker scoring ten points in a row. It was not surprising when the final score showed Cae way on top, 63-53. M. P. THE SAINT MARK'S DANCE On Saturday March 8, the Rogers Hall Glee Club journeyed to Southboro, lwfass. The occasion? Why, the St, Mark's dance, of course. Upon arrival-after on the unusual architecture of the school-we walked through the iron , :ual olicially entered St. Mark's school.

We then were introduced to our dates for the evening, who gave us a thorough tour of the school before we went on to supper. The concert was greatly appreciated by all--even the performers-so it must have been good! The dance began almost as soon as the applause for the concert ended. Many of us thought it was the best Glee Club dance of the school year. Whether we thought this or not, we will not easily forget our visit to St. Mark's. J. A. v. FIRST TEAM BASKETBALL GAME On March 12 Cae and Kava once again competed for the basketball cham- pionship. Everyone-students and teachers alike-crowded into the gym at 2:30. Before long the starting whistle blew, and the game began. The spirit of all attend- ing was contagious and, as a result, the two teams were spurred on to do their best. Baskets were made in rapid succession. The tension was high. The game ended with Kava winning 28-18 . . . We saw sportsmanship at its best-a credit to both clubs.

SECOND TEAM BASKETBALL GAME One of the best played games I have seen in a long time! This was the comment heard from everyone after the second team basktball game of 1958. The teams were very evenly matched, keeping everyone in suspense. Through- out the game Cae's players showed good team-work, while Kava's proved their all- round ability. Betsie Candee and Sue Carroll played outstandingly well for Cae, scoring seventeen and sixteen points respectively, for Kava, Beryl Joiner and Cynthia Crandell kept the score high. The guarding on both sides was excellent. The score was kept fairly even, no team getting very much ahead of the other. Nevertheless, during the last quarter Caeis playing seemed to improve and they finally pulled through on top, 41-39. M. P. DRAMATICS CLUB On Tuesday evening, March 18, the last night before spring vacation, students, faculty and visiting parents were assembled in the gym for the presentation of two one-act plays by the Dramatics Club. The Hrst to be performed, The Happy Journey by Thornton Wilder, was the very humorous skit of a family's taking a trip, in one of the first Chevrolets, to visit their married daughter.

FOUNDER'S DAY Founder's Day this year was held on a Wednesday instead of the traditional Saturday. In spite of the rain, a large number of alumnae arrived for the festivities. After a lunch of lobster and chicken salad, the alumnae held their meeting in the school room. A medley of songs was presented for their enjoyment by the Rogers Hall Glee Club. The biggest event of the day' was the water ballet, Around the World in 80 Days. Five different synchronized swimming events were presented. To go along with the theme-Judy Skae danced the hula, and Toddy Maloney and Sarah Herr- mann danced the traditional dance of the American teenagers, the jitterbug. At the end all the swimmers combined for the grand finale. . . . Despite the rain, a day that will be remembered by all . . . J. A. V. CAE AND KAVA SWIMMING MEET On May iifteenth Cae and Kava had their annual swimming meet. Both teams made an excellent showing. We never realized we had so many mermaids among us! The team for Cae was Bobby Smith, Linda Wolf, Barby Van Horne, Betsy Candee, Cinnie Migliore, Judy Skae, Lynette Meiser, and Cookie Dusseault, who was their captain. The Cae manager was Estelle Heifetz. Lynette Meiser certainly proved her ability by winning the free style over Betsy Wagner. That shows that the freshmen can hold their own. Judy Skae, whom yon wiil all remember as the hula girl in the water ballet, showed that she could also QVs lg, .-, BASKETBALL TEAM - CAE Left to Right, Row l : Skae, Dusseault, Dubrule, Gooclale Row 2: King, K.

The manager was Patsy Chalmers. Diana Purdy, who did the side stroke for Kava last year and perhaps the year before, came through again. I'm sure Kava will miss her nine points next year. Although Betsy lost in a close match to Lynette in the free style, she played a big part in winning the Medley. The other two girls who swam in the Medley were Penny, doing the back stroke, and Betts, doing the 'fbutterflyf' Patsy found out that even the manager has to go in sometimes. Miss Olds wasn't around to throw in this time! The final score was fifty-two to forty-seven in favor of Kava, but Cae certainly put up a good fight, and both teams gave us an exciting afternoon. T. F. FIRST TEAM SOFTBALL GAME Thursday, May 22, the first team softball game was played off between Cae and Kava. After two innings, Kava led 6-2. The score alternated for the next two innings with first one team and then the other on top. Near the close of the game, however, it became obvious that Kava had the definite advantage.

The fourth inning proved to be very exciting, for the Kava team batted in four runs in succession. Both the fielding and hitting were quite good on the part of both teams.

A. v. THE COMMENCEMENT PLAY On the warm but rainy evening of June 2, the Commencement Play, the last play of the year, was presented by the members of the Dramatics Club and a chosen few from the school body. The play, 'cThe Lute Song,', by Kae-Tong-Kia, was the story of a young lute player who left his home in time of famine to seek aid for his starving wife and parents. Instead he was ordered to become the husband of the Princess of China. After many hardships, the lute player was reunited with his first wife, and chose her over the Princess and her kingdom. The intricate Chinese background scenery was magnificent and immediately created the Oriental atmosphere so necessary to the setting of the play, With the performers displaying their exceptional acting ability, the dramatic year came to a very successful close.

The Millers' address is 99-666 Halau Drive, Halaua Heights, Oahu, Territory of Hawaii. They have a daughter, Kimberly, who is a year old. Priscilla Babson has been elected Vice President of the Athletic Association at Elmira College for the coming year. A letter from Charlotte McDowell Burlington tells us that it looks as though the Burlingtons are finally settled. Before Christmas they bought a two hundred year old stone farmhouse in Quakertown, Pennsylvania. It is complete with outbuildings on three acres of land. To complete the picture, they have a German shepherd dog the size of a small pony. Charlotte writes that her three boys, who attend Swain Country Day School in Allentown, just adore living on a farm. The Burlingtons' address is R. D. ffl, Old Bethlehem Pike, Quakertown, Pennsylvania. Janet Gould has also written to Mrs. MacGay recently. Until her mother's death three years ago, Janet lived at home with her. She wrote that she has time for organized charities, Little Theatres, and other creative things. Janet still lives in Riverside, Illinois, at 310 North Delaplaine Road. More news from Elmira College! Anne Rolfe, who was President of her Freshman Class, has now been elected President of the Junior Class for next year. During the work period this winter, julie Eiseman, who was a Freshman at Bennington College, worked at Television Channel W5 in Boston. Julie was here for Founder's Day and she told us that she hopes to work there again this summer unless she decides to go to summer school. just before Commencement, Lucy Meyer visited school. Lucy is now at The Garland School and loves being in Boston. She told us that Rita Lamontagne expect- ed to visit her in Hinsdale, Illinois, as soon as the summer vacation should begin for both of them. Another letter has brought us news of Elizabeth Ann Edge Carter and others. Ann and her husband, Harry, live at 3612 O Street, N. W., Washington, D. C. Harry is now with the United States Information Agency as Deputy General Counsel and Ann says that he likes his work enormously. The Carters have a son, Nick, who is about eight months old as this goes to press. Ann has joined the Drama Guild of her church as an additional interest besides keeping house and being a wife and mother. She has seen both Peter Baron Wilson and Cynthia Kellogg Skipp recently and reports that they are well and as happy as she in their marriages and children. Unfortunately Peter, who lives in White Plains, New York, is too far away for Ann to see her often, but as Cynthia's husband, Warren, is now rector of a church in Baltimore, Maryland, the chances of the Skipps and the Carters spending some time together are more favorable. This year Rogers Hall alumnae were graduated from a goodly number of major and junior colleges. Shirley Jo Arn received a degree from Duke University. Sara Lea Callaway was graduated from Hood College, where, as President of the Cooperative Government Association, she has been a most important member of the student body, winning the admiration of the faculty as well as that of the girls. Sara Lea will teach in Tennessee in the field of history and political science while her fiance is completing his work at the University of Tennessee. Karlyn Herrhammer received a degree in physical education from Skidmore College. Three Rogers Hall alumnae were in the graduating class at Smith College: Pam Hollingworth, Sally Ringling, and Cornelia, better known as f'Posh,', Thompson. We are not sure what Pam and Posh plan to do next, but Sally will spend a year in Italy. We are proud to announce that Sally wrote an article on art this year that was so superior that the college wished to have it bound and put in the Smith library. Elaine Leary Tobler returned to the University of Connecticut after her marriage in order to graduate with the Class of 1958. Alumnae who graduated from junior colleges include Penny Allen- and Judy Kochs from Briarcliff. Penny plans to go on to a four year college. At this point, however, we do not know which one it will be. Diane Collins was graduated from Lasell, Louise Hanson from Pine Manor, and Jane Jederson from Bennett. Gail Rockwell, who has completed her course at Stephens, will transfer to a university, but we are uncertain of her definite plans. She will spend this summer in Holland, living with a Dutch family. It should prove to be a most interesting experience. Nola Sundin was graduated from Becker Junior College. We were very happy to have Louise Hanson here on Founder's Day. Louise plans to attend The Boston Con- servatory of Music next fall. She will live in an apartment in Boston. Another recent visitor was Lyn Abbott, who stopped in at school before Roz Wile Fletcher's wedding. We were thrilled to hear of Lyn's plans for the summer as she is to have an extended trip through Europe with her Wheaton roommate. The World's Fair in Brussels and the Salzburg Music Festival will be two of the high points of their trip, It all sounded most exciting to us. Next year Lyn is leaving Wheaton to further her study of the piano in Philadelphia. Since school has closed for the summer, we have had two more alumnae visit- ors. Dorothy Beeler Long and her husband stopped briefly on their way home to Scarsdale, New York, from a vacation trip through New England. Natalie Gardner Coburn made a longer visit and we were very happy to welcome her, not only as an alumna, but also a former member of the school staff.
