BETTY O’CONNOR Editor DIANTHALIN LOLLIN ' Business Manager RAMBLER 19 2 9 To paint a picture of school life at Rowland Hall; to make that picture truly representative of our work, our play, our accomplishments , and our ambitions; to create a book to be treasured not only now, but also in the years to come, because of the many happy hours it recalls; this is the purpose of the staff in presenting the seventh volume of the Rambler. ORDER OF BOOKS FACULTY CLASSES ACTIVITIES FINE ARTS ATHLETICS FEATURES DEDICATION To Mrs. Francis Senter Bascom, the first graduate of Rowland Hall, in the class of 1881. and now one of the school’s most loyal alumnae, the class of 1929 lovingly dedicates the seventh volume of “The Rambler. i M cMrs. Francis Senter Bascom when the campus grass is green and the campus trees are full of blossoms. The Rambler is put into our hands in the full springtime, as the school year draws to its close. So the school stays with us through the summer and our vacation days are brightened by this book. Time and talent, wit and wisdom are in the making of this book. It is a joyous labor. Into the development of a student go many influences. The languages, the sciences, the histories of nations all train the mind and char- acter. Our school must provide all these things. But we must never forget tha tthere is another important influence which is powerful for develop- ment, and that is fellowship. That is one of the fine thBings about a school like Rowland Hall. The friendships that are formed within our lovely school are lasting, because they are built up with- in a school which stands for the great ideal of splendid womanhood. It is out of this friendly fellowship that the Rambler grows, and that is why we all give the Rambler a glad greeting and read it over and over again. May it always grow out of this good soil, and bind our hearts more tightly to the Hall. - 10 - VI THE RIGHT REVEREND A. W. MOULTON Bishop of Utah; Hect or of Howland llall i r • - - — c Uhe (Dean’s CyYIessa e Christian education embraces all that is best in secular education plus the spiritual, ethical, and cultural advantages that Religion supplies. It not only stands for the highest scholastic ideals, but in addition, it furnishes scope and opportunity for spiritual culture and development. During the past fifty years, Rowland Hall has constantly endeavored to furnish this type of education, recognizing the truth of Saint Paul’s statement, when he said, “In everything ye are enriched by Him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge; even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you; so that ye come behind in no gift.’’ Till; YI;RY RLVLRHND WILLIAM W.

Miss Berle’s eyes and eye lashes To beautify her face; Mrs. Dahlquist ' s lithe figure To add a touch of grace. Since clothes indeed do make the man. She shall have Ma’m’zelle’s style; What kind of creature would she be Without Miss Weber’s smile? Mrs. Jones’ fair-mindedness And pleasantness toward all; Miss Gaines unquenchable desire To better Rowland Hall. I hope that after all’s been said You will agree with me, That if she ever should exist. You ' d like Miss Faculty. aSSSStt -v ' v.7 V;:;::::;. CLASSES O, Beauty ye guiding gleams of light, Fairer than dreams of night, Dear mirror of the soul. Within the heart alone, Lies there a part of truth . . Not from the senses roll all that, is known, But from the heart of beauty is Beauty from beauty born. Shining fair the blue of skies above Are the soft eyes of love Which light the heart of truth. So it will dwell in rest Within the dell of life — Not from the world or youth, But from the breast . . Rings forth the knell of beauty From beauty is beauty born! All around the fleeing day of light The fading ray so bright lias more than gleaming gold. Splendor divine within, Outward, must shine to tell Not from the world or fold, Nor from life ' s 1 sin . . But from the mine of beauty It beauty from beauty born. - 26 - (Tune: Flow Gently Sweet Afton”) Strive onward. Ye Seniors, Along through the years; Strive onward and upward And conquer thy fears. Let truth be thy watchword And victory is thine, Make honor thy armor And faith be thy sign. Let hope be thy banner, And kindness thy shield; Let virtue be chosen The sword that you wield. Then battle together And when it is done, Then Seniors rejoice. Life’s battle is won. — Alice Dick Motto: Look before you leap. Colors : Blue and Gray. Flower: Forget-me-not.

Ljhe Last Will and Testament of the Class of 1929 Know ye all that we, the class of one thousand nine hundred and twenty- nine, being neither deaf, dumb, blind nor feeble-minded, and acting with the customary disregard of insignificant opinions, do hereby publish and declare our last will and testament, all former ones being null and void: First. To the Faculty, we offer our deepest sympathy for their incom- solable loss at our departure. Second. To our beloved Sophomores, we leave our ability to do all thingh with quiet efficiency, and our never-failing happiness and patience. Third. To the Freshmen we bequeath our red flannel nightgowns, in gracious return for the pajamas. Fourth. To the Eighth class, we hopefully bequeath our uniforms and the dignity they clothe. Fifth. To the Juniors, we leave our drug store bills. Sixth. To anyone who has the moral courage to stage their sixth pro- duction, we leave our Mummer Plays. Seventh. To Doris, Dorothy bequeaths her collection of dime novels, who, after diligent perusal, shall pass them on to Miss Van Fossen. Eighth. To Anne, Blitz, after deep deliberation, leaves her letters from numerous devoted swains. Ninth. To Bacchus, Diane bequeaths her ability to keep study-hall in docile submission. Tenth. To Gerry, Alice leaves her high marks, with orders to throw away the alarm clock. Eleventh. To Dedo, Betty leaves her agility in manipulating her hair, on condition that the former will not make use of it in study hall. Twelfth. To Elizabeth, Di and Betty leave their popularity with Mam - zelle. Thirteenth. To Helen, Dorothy leaves her large bone hair pins. Fourteenth. To Jane, Ma rgaret bequeaths her violin cases, provided the former does not attempt to use them as shoes. With sudden fervor this she said: ‘Ten years from now to the very day, Strange you seek Future ' s prey; But I alone can truly say The fate of six who pass this way. Resplendent, shining, famous one, Burning fame like burning sun. Opera, music, a career begun; Sing on Dorothy, your voice has won. I see in her home our sweet Diane, Skillfully tipping a frying-pan; A girl who wills, a woman who can. A charming wife, the lucky man. At nine o’clock begins her day; File and clip the quickest way, All joy turns to Saturday; Blitz “stenog,” so they say. Under the shade of a wide-spread tree The Lady Kent is pouring tea, A favorite queen of society. Betty’s the name as it used to be. Seated high upon a stool, Molding aloft many a tool; A pen, a pencil, a twelve-inch rule; Alice, ye gods, she’s teaching school! You will, you beg, you ask, you tease; From Fate you cry on bended knees: “Open the years, give us the keys.’’ The Future ' s known; now does it please? — Alice Dick - 33 - bygone age. Behind us the coyotes howled in the darkness, which we tried to penetrate with fearful glances thrown back over our shoulders. Slim was in the midst of one of his most fictitious yarns, a story of a panther ' s den he had come upon in one of his travels. “An’ the pesky varmint sprung at me ’ he was saying. ' Them critters shore is mad when they’s frightened. Well, I grabs aholt of his tail, an ' afore he coulda done anythin’, I up and turns him inside out. We-uns had chow fer a week after.” The fire flickered and a half-burned log cracked. We all started, then laughed nervously. Then suddenly a wild cry rang out in the night. We were frightened almost out of our wits. Another one peeled through the air. The Indians must surely be on the war-path,” we thought. Slim had sprung to his feet. “Suthin’ wrong, folks, he exclaimed, and we all agreed. Tom said, “Someun’s gone plumb crazy. Le’s go find out what the trouble is, Slim.” ' I ' hey started off, we following them with our eyes dilated until their forms were lost to sight in the impenetrable darkness. We shrank back, shivering. I heard a maniacal scream, followed by a bright flash and a loud report. Then all I could think of was safety. Turning around, I started to run, screaming at the top of my lungs. I heard someone running after me, and 1 doubled my speed. Suddenly, some huge obstacle loomed up in front of me. I swerved, but hit it hard. It was soft, yielding, and when I struck it a hiccough issued forth and then, “Wha’s tha’?” came a thick question. “Oh — oh — oh! Shay lady, s’chuse me. I’m ish lookin’ for some water. My horsh ish thirshty.” It was the cook from the lower ranch. By this time, Mike had arrived, and the inebriate was firmly gripped by the collar. The foreman came up, and together they piloted him away. It seems he had been stealing Dad’s corn to make liquor and had installed a still in the granary. The girls and 1 walked back to the house and, though my parents did not come until long after midnight, we sat up waiting, armed with the mop- stick, a butcher knife, the stove-poker, and an unloaded twenty-two. The nick still remains in the fire-place w ' here the cook’s bullet struck. — Dorothy Drake, ' 29.

When he was just a kid, forced to sell papers on a corner of the “Big City ’ a man had come up to him, a man with a jovial face. He had said, “Smile, boy,” and Tad had grinned at the very absurdity of the request forgetting for a moment his little empty stomach. The man had said, “Good.” He gave him fifty cents. Even now, as a tried and proved soldier, soaking in the muddy trench of France, he could call up vividly the ecstacy with which he had eaten “something decent” — all he wanted — for the first time in a year. He smiled hungrily at the remembrance. He wouldn ' t mind having that satisfaction right now, after a breakfast of hard tack and a miorning of drizzle and schrapnel fire. A companion, seeing his smile, moved closer and observed, “Don’t see why you’re alwuz a-grinnin’, pard, grinnin’ when Comp’ny A gets relieved ’n we stay here to rot in this hole without no breakfast, — might be in Para- dise or the other place any minute and yet you grin. What’s the use?” “Try one yourself, old man, just loosen up your face.” Just then the sergeant appeared. “Tad ’ he said, “Go out there and see if the Germans are still in that trench. And good luck,” he added in a more friendly tone. Tad was ready, and as he wormed himself forward on his belly like a snake, his eyes burned with a deep eagerness and watchfulness. Half an hour, an hour, passed without his return. The men began to cast anxious glances out into the smoke and darkness into which Tad had disappeared. He was their “luck.” Where he was, there also were jokes, however grim, and courage. Now for all they knew, he had gone West. Their anxiety was relieved by the order to attack. Well! they would show the Germans something, if they couldn’t find Tad. But they did. He was half staggering, half crawling toward their lines. As he fell, his face was contorted in an agony of pain, which yet parodied a grin. One of his fellows lifted his head gently to his knee and with clumsy, yet surely tender fingers brushed back the matted hair. The others, gathering round in spite of the hail of lead, heard him gasp, “Germans — preparing for mass,” a con- vulsive shudder, “attack. Guess — I got — mine.” With dying eyes he looked affectionately into his pals’ faces. A brave smile. The men were ashamed of the wetness under their eyes. And his invincible lips became still forever. An instant they stood; then, suddenly, they were moving forward, eyes purposeful and mouths relentless. It went hard wit hthe enemy that day. A brief, bloody struggle — and the trench was theirs. But what mattered that, bitterly thought they — some friends dead; others wounded; and their “luck.” Tad. — gone. — Helen Kevser GERALDINE IIOSMER IS: Impetuous HAS: Nightmares NEVER: Touches earth LETA 1 1 AVI LAND I S : Naive HAS: Troubles.

They lived fully and content- edly, these sisters of lithe beauty. They dwelt by a pool, sweet and still, ' whose water tasted like the dewdrops of a May morn, and the “hurrying hounds of heaven” scurried across its mirrored surface on their never ending journey. They were famed throughout the heavens; Great Jupi f er deigned to stop by their pool to drink of the water and to hear their melodious song as it was wafted through the breeze, soft and low. They showed no impar- tiality; they sang the same songs to the beggars as they did to the greatest of the gods. They granted their favors unsparingly to one and all. And they thus lived, growing more kind and beautiful each day. Grad- ually their fame spread not only over Mount Olympus, but even to the mortals dwelling below them. The mortals, ever covetous and greedy, desired the fragrant pool and its twelve guardians. Twelve mortals, more daring and covetous than the rest, climbed one night to Olympus and stole the pool and its guardians, taking them down to earth. They were acclaimed heroes by their fellow men, and all mortals came to drink of the pool and to hear the songs the maidens sang. But now their hearts were sad; they longed for the cool, peaceful calm of their home. The pool became briny from the tears they shed, and their song was a dirge. Jupiter, having seen the twelve mortals who had stolen his prize possession, in fury threw ' a thunderbolt that split the earth wide open. The maidens stood calmly by their pool, confident in their hope that they w ' ould again see Olympus. But the twelve mortals stood watching them and as the maidens, with their escorts of gods who had come to convey them back to Olympus, began their upward climb, the mortals seized them. Not even in Ithe face of their own destruction were they willing to give up their choicest prize. In the struggle that ensued, the mortals, clinging to the maidens, slipped into the sluggish river formed by Jupiters thunderbolt. The ods took flight to Olympus to get their instructions from Jupiter. The King of the gods, looking down, saw the twelve maidens, their hair flying, their faces in agony, striving to reach Olympus. Fearing that their experience in the land of mortals would change them so, that on their return to Olympus, they would be ever mindful of the journey, he turned them into reeds. The mortals, he turned into sedge to be ever clutching and holding, unable to get away from those slender beings to whom they had brought so much trouble. And the reeds shiver, sighing and swaying in the wind, forever seeking far Olympus; crying out on the wind, their song mournful, weird, despairing. — Mary Jane Caldw ; ell Of the upper classmen, Now it wont be long.

After the period was over, we were so delighted by the prospect of building a fort that we kept on. Days of enthusiastic work followe d. Finally it was six feet high. In it were two rooms and benches of snow. There were spy- holes in the walls. We organized ourselves as Defenders of the Fort, hoisted a flag, and warded off the attacks of the other girls. When it grew warmer and the snow melted away, we were very sad. but we are looking forward to another winter when we can rebuild our fort. — Lydia Louise Peter, Sixth Grade Fourth and Fifth Classes Left to Ri bt, h ' ront Row — Sereta Jones.

The sun said, “She is asleep, but I will wake wake her.” So the sun rapped at her door but she did not answer. Pretty soon the clouds grew dark, and it began to rain. The rain asked where Pussy Willow was. The sun said, “She is asleey.” “I will wake her, said the rain, I le rapped but Pussy did not answer. The sun called to Pussy Willow.

FIRST CLASS PARTY The Senior’s started the party ball rolling this year by entertain- ing the Sophomores. The two classes were agreeably entertained by a very clever comedy at the Playhouse after which they had refresh- ments at a confectioner’s. THANKSGIVING BAZAAR The Thanksgiving Bazaar and the Junior card party were even more successful this year than last. The Alumnae not only bought a great many tickets to the Senior dinner but even had a booth of their own. The booths themselves cleverly portrayed a windmill, a well, a log cabin, a gypsy’s tent and an oriental shrine of mystery and did a great deal to attract interest. LUNCHEON AT THE CATES’ HOME Miss Jane Christenson entertained the girls of the Senior and Sophomore classes at a lovely iuncheon at her home immediately upon their return to school after the Christmas holidays. EASTER EGG HUNT The parties of the Lower School, like their secret societies, are usually too much of a mystery to fall into the hands of a mere Senior reporter. On Easter Monday, however, the Upper School had the opportunity of watching from a distance a very amusing and exciting Easter Egg 1 lunt which the Lower School was enjoying out on the lawn. JANE BERING ENTERTAINS One of the most charming luncheons of the year was given by Miss Jane Bering at her home for the members of the Junior class. COMING EVENTS May and June promise to be crowded with gay parties of all kinds. Near the first of May comes the Junior-Freshman class party, which, it appears, will be a picnic followed by a swim in the Keyser pool. The Sophomore-Senior party of uncertain date, will probably be a dinner. The Freshies promise to entertain the Juniors at the end of May but. as yet, they have given no particulars concerning their plans. Many parties are being planned in honor of the Seniors, among which the most important are the Junior dance and the Senior breakfast. -62 - ALICE DICK Chosen by the Faculty as Representative Rowland Hall Girl, June, 1928 .63 - I’ve thought and written most half the night, And nothing seems to end just right. All holidays are ever the same; To spoil them all, ' tis just a shame. If only one teacher would fail to remember That poems are due in blissful December! — Dorothy Doolittle, ’32 THE VALLEY OF FUN I like to play in the Valley of bun with you, Where meadows are green and skies are blue, Where we may wade in each cold stream, And lie by the banks and quietly dream. Here and there we may romp and shout; Laugh and play, run and dance about. So come, little friend, away with me, Where we can laugh and play with glee; Where schools and books vanish quite away And leave to us a joyous day. Let our troubles swiftly run, And leave us to our Valley of Fun. — Eleanor Wardlaw, ' 33 - 64 - FINE ARTS by Mr. Eberly, an accomplished organist. In November, The Reverend Mr. Hayes invited the choir to sing in St. Luke’s Church at Park City. A trio consisting of Mr. Skelton. Margaret Skelton, violins, and Mr. Eberly, organ, gave several selec- tions, among them the “Andantino” and Schubert ' s “Serenade. After the service, the choir members were pleasantly surprised with a hot lunch, which the women of the church thoughtfully ' arranged in prep- aration for the long ride home. The Easter Service at the Cathedral, long anticipated by the girls, is a result of diligent work, in recognition of which the choir breakfast is held at the school on Easter morning. The Seniors then leave the choir, and new members are admitted, who, with the others, begin practicing for the Commencement exercises, which are held at the Cathedral. THE CANDLE AND CAROL SERVICE The Candle and Carol Service is one of the outstanding events of the year. This year the Chapel was hung with festoons of cedar and masses of evergreen boughs and tiny Christmas trees filled the air with fragrance. The light from many candles high upon the walls and above the Altar softly illumined the room and provided a perfect atmosphere for the quaint old carols and beautiful hymns which make Christmas so full of meaning. Above a tiny manger in front of the Altar gleamed the Christmas Star, the symbol of nativity. Slowly down the aisle moved the vested choir, bearing tall lighted candles and echoing the words that never lose their appeal. The sweet voices of the primary choir as angels, added an attractive touch with their songs of the Christ child. A most impressive finale was the procession of the younger children, as heralds in quaint costumes of red and green. - 66 - Hallowe’en Hallowe’en, with its witches and ghosts, its apples and cider, marked the beginning of the festivities of the school year. The spirit of the occasion was well brought out by appropriate corn-stalk decorations and dimly shaded lights. The stunts too were in keeping with the season. The combined Lower School classes presented an attractive playlet which told the history of Hallowe ' en. The Eighth Class, dressed as dolls, sang original songs which were especially clever. A very unusual jack-in-the-box idea was the Freshman offering, which was followed by the Sophomores’ beautifully costumed Japanese song and dance act. The Juniors used a shadow screen with which they produced most grotesque effects, and the Seniors won the banner with their Chinese burlesque play, “Pretty Plum-Pit.” En terta in men ts The carnival spirit reigned supreme at the first Senior entertainment. The main attractions were singing and dancing and a pantomine in which Miss Berle captured much applause. Though the Faculty has suggested “Never Say Die” as a motto for the Mum- mer’s Plays, the undaunted Seniors presented two more of these unfailing produc- tions, which were well received by most of the audience. Everyone is eagerly awaiting the Junior play and take-off, which is scheduled for the first part of June. The present Seniors hope the present Juniors will be more lenient and less frank than last year’s Juniors, in the matter of the take-off. - 67 - “The Piper” Presented by THE SENIOR CLASS Saturday, May 4, 19 29 CHARACTERS STROLLING PLAYERS The Piper .

H. letters this year, thereby stimulating interest for the game. SWIMMING Swimming classes are held every Wednes- day and on occasional Saturdays. As the majority of the girls take great pleasure in learning new strokes and dives, our crop of promising mermaids is steadily increasing. RIDING At the beginning of the year. Miss Weber organized a riding club for the members of the Upper School, and supervised many eventful rides during the Fall. In the spring hurdling is taught to the most ambitious horsemen. WINTER SPORTS During the winter, the cement court was flooded to provide a rink where the girls enjoyed many hours of skating. Skiing and coasting also proved very popular, though many amateurs found it very difficult to keep one skii from under the other. VOLLEY BALL AND BASEBALL Two of the most prominent spring sports are volley ball and baseball. In the tourna- ment which was held between the two upper classes to determine the volley champions, the Seniors came out on top. w- — -w — - � � i v, • •••� • . 4 .•! fit v r _ • • 4 4 1 � 4 4 � A t m • t « « k « • 4 , % h I 09 Vtfr — ' W Cobblemore It sat in the car waiting for the Cobblemore bus to come along. There was a rumbling, then a speck way down the road. “Los Angeles bus ' commented an- other briefly. “Or Cobblemore ' said I. And it was. When the lumbering gray automobile stopped. 1 climbed aboard into the midst of a crowd of excited girls. Then came a tearing of gears and, before I knew ' it, we were wish-washing up a snowy country road. Our bus slowed down, and stopped. The driver shook his head dubiously, but we finally made it. Next, we were unceremoniously dumped out and told to walk. Why will these people who live in the country have such long driveways? Anyway, w ' e got there, and what could be a better greeting than fresh hot doughnuts? Once settled, we rushed off to get in as much skiing as was humanly possible before lunch. Some persisted in crashing down a nearly perpendicular mountain- side on a toboggan, to the great detriment of all parts of the anatomy. Then came lunch, but what ' s the use of describing it? Suffice it to say that there were not enough scraps left to feed the chickens. After drying our sopping clothes, we sailed forth. There was a marked improvement in the skiing, and a turn for the worse, or the better, ip the snow. When we returned, tired and dripping, we found the Seniors searching our rooms. Their food had been stolen. After a sumptuous chicken dinner, we all went out to an enormous bonfire, composed of young trees, where we toasted marshmallows. The hot-dogs were abducted, but were brought back by a scouting party. Next, a wedding was held in the living room. Blitz being the groom, and Martha Page the bride. Miss Bromiley officiated and Miss Weber provided the music. Shortly afterward, girls began to appear in pajamas, but were promptly squelched by the powers that were. To bed we started, but alas! Most of us couldn ' t retire, for some miscreant has caused the pajamas to disappear in the most mysterious manner, nor were the faculty spared! After a noisy search, they (the pajamas, not the faculty) were located in the eighth grade wash-stand. Then, the Senior ' s food recovered, we went to bed, but not to sleep. May the person who invented blankets that lop over one side of a bed, leaving the occupants out in the cold, be condemned to eternal torture! When one eats candy bars at two A.M., one is not hungry for breakfast, so 1 missed that most excellent meal. On going out a while later, we found that the country had been turned into one sloppy lake. We stepped on snow which appeared firm and were precipitated into a subterranean sea. All hopes for skiing being quite destroyed, we betook ourselves to higher and drier regions to hike, returning in time to roll our packs before lunch. After our last farewells, Mr. Hesse transported us through the river forming his driveway, to our waiting bus, which skidded down the road, and roared up State Street, arriving at our starting point of two days before. Once home, we vowed that we would visit Cobblemore again. — Anne Wallace. ' 30 - 74 - I FAW DOWN GIRLS SO DID I BUT WE DIDN ' T MORE GIRLS?

Within the heart alone, Lies there a part of truth . . Not from the senses roll all ' that is known, But from the heart of beauty is Beauty from beauty born. Shining fair the blue of skies above Are the soft eyes of love Which light the heart of truth, So it will dwell in rest Within the dell of life — Not from the world or youth, But from the breast . . Rings forth the knell of beauty From beauty is beauty born! All around the fleeing day of light The fading ray so bright Has more than gleaming gold.

Know ye all that we, the class of one thousand nine hundred and twenty- nine, being neither deaf, dumb, blind nor feeble-minded, and acting with the customary disregard of insignificant opinions, do hereby publish and declare our last will and testament, all former ones being null and void: First. To the Faculty, we offer our deepest sympathy for their incom- solable loss at our departure. Second. To our beloved Sophomores, we leave our ability to do all thingh with quiet efficiency, and our never-failing happiness and patience. Third. To the Freshmen we bequeath our red flannel nightgowns, in gracious return for the pajamas. Fourth. To the Eighth class, we hopefully bequeath our uniforms and the dignity they clothe. Fifth. To the Juniors, we leave our drug store bills. Sixth. To anyone who has the moral courage to stage their sixth pro- duction, we leave our Mummer Plays. Seventh. To Doris, Dorothy bequeaths her collection of dime novels, who, after diligent perusal, shall pass them on to Miss Van Fossen. Eighth. To Anne, Blitz, after deep deliberation, leaves her letters from numerous devoted swains. Ninth. To Bacchus, Diane bequeaths her ability to keep study-hall in docile submission. Tenth. To Gerry, Alice leaves her high marks, with orders to throw away the alarm clock. Eleventh. To Dedo, Betty leaves her agility in manipulating her hair, on condition that the former will not make use of it in study hall. Twelfth. To Elizabeth, Di and Betty leave their popularity with Ma’rn’- zelle. Thirteenth. To Helen, Dorothy leaves her large bone hair pins. Fourteenth. To Jane, Margaret bequeaths her violin cases, provided the former does not attempt to use them as shoes. Anne Wallace discources on Studying Hard We sit at our dask with a pile of books before us: French English, Latin, math., history. We decide to take them in order as they come in school, which means that French leads the field. We plunge desperately in, and go on bravely for about two pages, look- ing up every second or third word. Then we decide that we must let that go till later, and, leaving our old plan of campaign, we choose the fourth period subject, namely Latin. We look up the assignment, and draw a few pictures in our assignment book by way of amusement. We discover that the Latin lesson is on compo- sition. In despair we vigorously draw and erase a few more pictures on the table. We then screw up courage to look at the lesson. Then; a deep silence, except for the scribbling of a pencil and the rattling of pages as we look up words. We decide that there is no lime to copy it mow, and hope vaguely that we will get to school early enough tomorrow mo rning to do it then. It is now quite late, so we hurry on to math. We w ' ork desperately, with visions of the poor-creature-who-did-not-have-her-lesson looming threat- eningly before our eyes. When we are about finished, we tell ourselves that the rest can be done in study period, hoping that the Freshmen will not make too much noise at said time. Then we do English, leaving it also to be copied in the morning, along with the Latin. The clock strikes — one hour late for bed already — and in comes the dog, desiring to be scratched on the nose, behind the ears, and anywhere else that dogs like to be scratched, and we just can’t refuse him. I hen he gets interested in our shoe, and we must wiggle it up and down to amuse him. By this time, the house is quiet. We begin to feel a b’t guilt v, so we snatch up our history book, hoping that we can study it while in the bath tub, or at any other odd moment while getting to bed. But wait! Here is spelling — we almost forgot it: never mind, we can look it over on the way to school, if we don’t forget it. And so passes the evening, and we take ourselves to bed.

IF MV DESK COULD SPEAK Lone words, disconnected phrases, disjointed exclamations, would, 1 believe, form the speech of my desk were it to ta lk, for such must be the way it gathers impressions of events, faces and time. No doubt its first impression of me, our meeting, would be expressed some- what like this: “Such an inconsiderate girl, to cram me tightly with uncompanion- able books, temperamental volumes, and even books whose colors clash most shockingly! This morning a Latin prose was casting disdainful looks at a French verb book, even making remarks about its inferior and provincial ante- cedents. Yes, my noontime siesta was rudely disturbed by an indigent, woeful Algebra text, who had apparently been noticeably slighted by this thoughtless, scatter-brained girl.” Again the old desk might become reconciled to its occupant, never uttering a word until, driven at last by curiosity, it would querie: “She frowns, fitfully raps my back with a pencil, mumbling all the while, “No Pinecrest — quoi faire — no skiing — no snow — oh rats! ” The pen-scarred, memory-laden desk preserves a discreet silence for many a day, but at length it gives vent to words: “What a clatter! Goodness, my ears; will she never calm down? I hear nothing but clatter, clatter from Chapel to gym. What ' s this now? Horrors, Bible today? I ' m sunk!” Thus from week to week, from month to month, the desk speaks. Do its impressions differ from down the years? — Geraldine Hosmer, ' 30 ODE ON THE DEATH OF FOCFI Warrior, yet author of peace, Father of the Frenchmen true, Fate has given you pain ' s surcease While the world is mourning you. Why mourn they for an infranchised soul.
