As September rolled around it brought the thrill of starting another year at Rowland Hall. Through the halls came the sound of girls renewing old acquaintances and making new ones. During this month the Freshmen were Initiated as real members of the Upper School. Some of the girls wondered If it were really worth the torture, but In the end they decided It had been. October: Halloween skits were the main event and it brought to the surface clever Ideas and hidden talent. November; The month of November and the annual bazaar. ThU year as in the past, it was a great success and fun was had by everyone. December: Snow welcomed this month and gave the right atmosphere to the Christmas party and dance. The climax was the beautiful Candle and Carol Service held in the chapel. January: After a glorious vacation the girls returned to face a new year and mid-year exams. A four day holiday at Sun Valley was the reward. February and March; A dance with the DeMo- lays as guests proved to be different and exciting. Again the A. A. Banquet was a great success dis- playing clever skits and costumes, April: The Seniors who had worked hard for weeks were rewarded when their play Electra made such a hit on opening night. May: The prom was a night never to be for- gotten with dreamy couples dancing to romantic music. The Junior Take Cff was clever and rather revealing, at least that was the opinion of the Seniors. June: Last on the agenda, but cerlainly not the least, was graduation and there were tears of sorrow and joy as everyone realized another school year had come to an end, but not only had they progressed academically but also in sportsmanship and cooperation of which all of us can be proud. 32

THE BOARDERS The life of a boarder is anything but boring. Often, for the first time In their lives, the girls have had to learn self-reliance and the art of give and take In order to get the fullest advantages of boarding. The girls come from all parts of the country and through their friendships they learn to feel as though they are one big, happy family. The boarders enjoy many school activities, such as the slumber party after one of the dances at Rowland Hall. The day students came for the night and everyone had a wonderful time. The girls are often asked to spend a week-end at some of the day students ' homes. Through their hospitality the week-ends have become very en- joyable. The boarders also have the advantage of extra help and guidance of the teachers, who live right in the boarding department. This year Mrs Pearson, as housemother, has been a true friend and mother to the girls. Through her advice and care she has helped to make the board- ing department a real home. A very inspiring service held at the end of each week is the vesper service on Sunday night. The students and teachers join In singing hymns, listening and discussing passages from the Bible and praying. By such services as these, the girls may learn the love of God and how to live with one another in perfect harmony and order. 34
