We all remember Mrs. VVall . . . We laughed With her over her delight in playing the gong, we came to her burdened With our troubles which she soon talked aWay. She listened patiently to our sighs over having too much school Work to do-too little time to do what we Wanted to do. She always did everything she could to keep our hall life happy and harmonious. YVe shall gratefully remember her, NNOW, Girls, you'll soon. be Seniors , for it was she Who helped us to prepare for our responsibilities to come. There were times when we Won- dered if We would ever develop into dependable Seniors, or begin to live up to all that Was expected of us, but it was Mrs. VVall's encouragement, her confidence in My Girls that led us on. We all miss her and the school will go on missing her. Her going has left a gap that it Would be hard to fill. l4l Som! Cdfl26fZEZ6,f Srlzool I-IEADMISTRESS . DIRECTORS: Upper School .

In the front row you will find Meri, Jackie and Beth, in .second row, Kay, Archer, Carolyn and t Shirley, Joan and Joyce, last row, Julie, Tinka, Barbara, Janet and Dorothy. Patsy Moncure and Doris Richards were in the class but not in the picture. Polly, third row, Jean, lVlary Ann, Hz'sr01j1 gf tfze Cfasx gf 1Vz'neteefz Fgfy S we look back through the years we see clearly that the Corps of Nineteen-Fifty has always been an impressive group-or shall we say an aggres- sive one? In spite of the conscientious efforts of the Generals to regiment us, we have always had original and determined ideas of our own. In Kindergarten we were eight strong-and we mean strong. Why not? We had with us Mary Ann, Julie, Beth, Kay, Doris, Archer, Meri and Joyce, a troop of eight marching our way triumphantly and militantly through life and between tables, to the strains of Em's inspiring music. We may have been trailing clouds of glory , at that stage, but we managed to trail a lot of other things too. Being an unusual class we did unusual things, even then. As an illustration we might cite the occasion when we borrowed clay from the art room for our own purposes, and then, acting on impulse as was characteristic, went on to the complete demolishment of the Seniors' precious models. This feat of vandalism had no malice aforethought, be it understood. We were merely actuated by youthful exuberance and sheer love of seeing-and hearing-things smash. Needless to say our performance was not looked upon favorably by the grown-ups. Joyce and Mary Ann, who were discovered to be the culprits, were immediately sent to the guardhouse Qalizzs, the cornerj to repent. We were clever actresses even then, learned to emote effec- tively when expedient. Meri carried off chief honors in this respect because her tear ducts could always be counted on to flow freely. She used to be rewarded, we recall, by a coke, each day she 11idn'Z cry in school. What devils we were! No wonder it took the combined forces of Mrs. Grant and our beloved Em to hold us down. VVhen we were promoted to the First Grade our ears became tuned to the constant ringing of Miss Brown's bell, Susie, We must have been a trial but we admit Miss Brown did probably knock a good many bats out of our juvenile belfries, made us almost civilized at times. We were lucky enough to have several reinforcements to our ranks. Jackie, Joanie, Shirley, and Tinka were rapidly assimilated into the initial Corps. VVe recall that Joanie, our Florida belle, was so excited over her first glimpse of snow that winter that she fell and broke a milk bottle. We were not concerned over the broken glass. Breaking things was everyday experience to us, but we did regret the loss of l26l the milk. That was the year when the Giant Stride made its appearance on the playground and was exceedingly popular. Not less so when Joyce created a crisis when in one ol' her athletic moods she was downed by one of the chains. No serious damage but a lot of drama, which we loved. Even this early the local press recognized our importance. We made the society page, with a picture showing us in pecu- liarly hideous Hallowe'en masks. In the spring we hit upon the ingenious idea of decorating our sand box with llowers, which involved a tragic clepredation on poor Miss Stauffer's gardens, but satisfied our budding esthetic senses. We naturally believed ourselves exceedingly sophisticated by June. But actually we were innocent enough to long for the time when we should carry books like our superiors and pursue that fascinating avocation called Home Work!!! How times change! The only new recruit next year was Polly and since we already knew her she was instantly one of the gang. We recall that year chiefly because a deep snow covered the beautiful Virginia Riviera. We were delighted to test our powers of endurance in arctic conditions, gaily donning our snowsuits and galoshes and boots and uti- lized that well known ingenuity of ours in constructing an igloo. lfVe were acquainted with Eskimo lore by then. Frank Lloyd Wright had nothing on us. We would prob- ably have willingly tested blubber as food had any been available at the moment in our zeal for realism plus ro- mance. We were deeply stirred by tales of children in Europe who were cold from necessity not choice, and the Red Cross, via the League, enlisted our services in knitting, thrusting long needles into our diminutive hands. Under Julie's enthusiastic captaincy we industriously labored on tiny squares which collectively were supposed to constitute an afghan eventually. We took our charity, as well as our sports, very seriously. Incidentally we struggled with our permanent enemies, the three PCS and were looking forward to the promotion to the Third Bungalow in September. As we were settled and feeling very important in our new desks as Third Graders we were glad to welcome Camilla to our numbers. Since our battle with the afore- said three Pi's had not been too spectacularly successful and our memories were as inclined to melt as our igloo we were put under the expert guiding hand of that miraculous edu- cator, Mrs. Durrett. Class work had been nothing like this hitherto. There are disadvantages in growing up. We were introduced to multiplication tables and divisions of words into syllables which was supposed to improve our spelling. VVe say supposed deliberately. Some of us are still remark- ably original in that line as well as in others. At long last came the long anticipated Home VVork in capitals. A doubt- ful blessing it seemed to some of us. The real delight lay in our Rest Period when we trooped up to our cots and lost ourselves in the adventures of the Bobbsy Twins. Our romantic souls reached the climax of satisfaction when our beloved Miss Watkins became Mrs. Leake, a denouement which intrigued us greatly. To our regret we had no new members to boast of the next year. But we progressed. Home Work attained such proportions that we had to buy book bags to keep our volumes and other paraphernalia safe and in one place. We were notorious losers. Some of us still are, as it happens. We also graduated from our favorite Twins to the Orljmsey -some jump-but we made it and looked forward even more than ever to the Rest Period. We also magnanimously organized a Caterpillar Hospital in the woods and proved our interest in public service by forming a Fourth Grade T.V.A. when a leaky water fountain prompted us to con- struct a rival Boulder Dani. Nevertheless, before long our advancement in civilization took a slight backward step. When lightning, quite helpfully from our point of view, felled a tree behind McVey Hall the whole class reverted to the primitive. We converted ourselves into Joe Youngs as we swung gleefully from the branches and spiritedly issued the jungle pass-word-Waah-eeh-ah-eeh-aaah! We had been afraid we should lose Miss Murray when we transferred to Fifth Grade but in response-we fondly believe-to our own ardent demands she was still in charge, though our satisfaction was faintly dimmed by chagrin when we discovered we were t.o stay on in the Bungalow instead of being moved up to VVhitlock. We were thrilled hy the poise and personality of our new member from California, Patsy, and welcomed her enthusiastically. We suffered bereavement when our favorite buddy, Hoiman, de Toitle , succumbed to the grim reaper and passed beyond our ken-and laid him reverently to rest in a box in our prized flower garden. But as spring came around we revived our humane and nature-loving impulses and again turned our attention to our Caterpillar Hospital, a project that had to be sadly abandoned when we discovered that our patients had developed ptomaine or something after a dinner of seemingly harmless flowers. It was inevitable that at this stage some of us should evince the homing instinct. We grouped ourselves into families and pitched our domestic life in the woods. It was a long time before we finally were allowed to bivouac in VVhitlock but in our Sixth Grade year we achieved the goal, only to find to our disillusionment that our headquarters academically was still the same old bunga- low in spite of our advanced years. But we had good for- tune too. Palmer, Barbara, and Jean Frazier joined us. There were numerous flu epidemics that year as well as an occasional case of mumps available for catching and very few of our number escaped the sick bay. But we recovered and put on two notable dramatic performances, Make Him Smile and, Paul, before Agrippa. We were convinced-and still have not changed our minds-that our class was a natural for the bright lights and we even then had visions of arriving eventually on Broadway to the advantage of some box-office. After the drama urge died down we busied ourselves with making a Year Book for our project, We were happy to have had Mrs. Durrett for a repeat perfor- mance and felt sad at leaving her, though we were some- what cheered when she gave us each an autograph book as a final renlembrance. At last we arrived and took over Cas we considered. itj, the Middle School Study Hall. We also added .lanet Swann, Carolyn, and Dorothy to our roster. fSee picture at head of this history if you can bear to be reminded of what we looked like then.j We were no longer vitally interested in dumb animals by then and turned our attention to male bipeds. Several of us wore dents in our elbows as we leaned precariously and hopefully on the window ledges of Miss Thruston's classroom, awaiting the daily quota of a fleet of gallant St. Christopbetds cyclists on reconnoitering missions. f27l Only too often however we could also cast an apprehensive collective eye on Miss Lena, on the horizon, arriving with her best quarter deck manner, ready to disperse any invad- ing forces. That was a very cold winter and our enthusiasm for the Eskimo life waned when the furnace went on strike. However, we were equal to the emergency and donned coats, ear muffs, gloves, mittens, which later accouterment proved useful as an excuse for illegible handwriting. We welcomed the arrival of spring but were not so overjoyed when it brought with it an invading host of termites, as well as the usual robins and daffodils. Miss Hood's Medieval History Class was the scene of many jousts with these winged pests. By June we felt very grown up indeed, were well aware of the allure of lipstick and even considered how we would look in stockings. When next September came we were, after a manner, heads of the Middle School and were definitely aware of our high position, as V. I. P.'s. VVe were still bent on being unusual, even to the point of radicalism. We had three new girls, two of them distinctly, like the rest of us, on the rebel side, Erwin and Jean Gillespie, with Rosie, our charming little conservative to effect a balance. In true French Revo- lution spirit CAuI armes, citoyennesfj we took to using water pistols-a demoralizing weapon second only to the atom bomb as a disruptive of normalcy. We learned to be highly expert at long range and staged a successful if brief Reign of Terror. Teachers fell to peering cautiously around corners before advancing and were constantly alerted to ferret out the ringleaders of this underground unit, who were as skilled in evasion as in execution. However, even this activity ran itself out in time and we concentrated on acquiring a hit the dirt technique. VVe were prompt in making our dives when planes roared overhead but equally adept in acquiring splinters in our knees from the Whitlock floors. Miss Chreitsberg, who had her own subtle brand of ingenuity also, strove to restrict our wild escapades and turn our esprit du corps to more constructive channels. She suggested that we organize as a Green Ring group, modelled on the idea of the Blue Ring of which we had heard vague rumors from the Upper School. The purpose of the Green Ring was to raise the standard of behavior in the Middle School. VVe can't imagine why anybody should have thought it needed it. Can you? Sad to relate, the Green Ring, though well intentioned, did not conspicuously bring to a close the number of uaccidentaln slamming of desk tops, extraordi- narily extended spasms of coughing, and the peculiarly regular dropping of those big, heavy red English books on the quarter hour. Somehow we did make some progress in education as well as ingenuity and achieved distinction, again in the field of drama, by our production of David Copperfield. VVe rather hated to leave the happy hunting ground of the Middle School but were elated at the thought that next year we would be actually in the Upper School- a long time dream. Accustomed to being top dogs we found it difficult to adjust ourselves to the notion that we were the least of the least as freshmen. We were dazed by the number of rules and regulations and even more stunned by the experience of rushing to classrooms in strange places at the alarm of a bell, a sort of stampede very different from our tranquil and leisurely procedure in the other Schools. Happily we were reenforced in numbers which spelled quality as well as quantity. Our major additions were specifically, Cynthia, Tweet , Bert, Nfattie, and our own little Quiz Kid, Polly. Intermingled with tl1e mass of chaos which is our chief memory of our Nines year are some bright spots, such as the thrill of the Gold and White games and particularly, the Senior Dance. We were hesitant about attending for fear our usual go-ahead spirit might be daunted in the presence of so many older girls, more accustomed to such functions than we were. But we soon recovered from any unprecedented shyness we might have had and found the ordeal of breaking tall, dark, handsome strangers was not so grim as we had feared. We did rather well for ourselves as a matter of fact. One of the chief memories of the year for the Boarders was the occasion when some of the clan thought it appropriate to celebrate, Thanksgiving with a small and exclusive party, after Mrs. Studebaker's bed time. They dragged their mattresses down to the four girls' room so as not to disturb other sleepers. But they reckoned with- out the second sight of trained house mothers. The party saffered a blight. Enough said. Tenth Grade was a surprise to us in many ways. We had been positive that school work couldn't possibly be as hard as it had been in the Ninth. Our mistake. It was much harder. Aside from the increasingly distressing burden of academic tasks, we also had on our hands the responsi- bility for the Lower Study Hall, which clipped our freedom oi' action to a degree. VVe had so many new members this year that we were afraid we would never be able to get well acquainted with all of them. But where there's a will, there is notoriously, a way. We achieved comradeship by writing notes in class or Study Hall and slipping them on to our new enlistees. But our liencil Friendships were cruel- ly discouraged, even brought to a dead halt, when a sheaf of demerit slips descended upon us. We were regarded as the most social-minded class in school, which we considered a point in our favor. But other people seemed to have a dilierent idea. The faculty insisted that the Day Students stepped out nights. Fancy that! Uur ever vivid imaginations were not entirely dulled by regulations and excessive study. We still bubbled up in un- expected ways and places. lou will recall that uncanny epidemic of alarm clocks ingeniously hidden which went off at all hours of the night. Also the panic induced when some jokers got the fancy to tie some coat hangers together and swing them against their neighbors' screens to give the impression that provvlers were alloat. There were the dum- mies too, those spectral effigies of real people, which ap- peared unaccountably in bathrooms and caused many screams and much excitement. There were few dull mo- ments in the lives of the Tens whether they were Day Students or Boarders. Only once so far as we know did that rattlesnake appear in that hilarious room occupied by those rather special geniuses, lVladdux, Lunsford, Dunbar, and Potter. It was never known whence it came or to what bourne it vanished. lt was not that we couldn't behave with propriety il it seemed necessary or suitable. VVe could. HGHICIIIDEI' the time lVlrs. Blanton went to New York to see her oculist and how the whole school was amazed at the exemplary behavior of the Tens? lt could happen-but not often. All in all, that was an exciting Year. The school acquired its new Commander-in-Chief, lvliss 'l'urner. But we were to lose our lVliss Woolfolk! We were pleased to be pro- moted to the rank of daisy chain makers for the Seniors though there was a little sadness too. We liked the Seniors very much and were sorry to lose them. Upper Study Hall at last! We enjoyed a considerable increase of congenial members and were cordially greeted by the new Student Council. But we were also confronted with the mazes of the new-born Classification System, a rather portentious affair, considering our habitual light- hearted approach to life. We soon learned that the new system meant business and since cuts were a major neces- sity in the lives of all of us we buckled down and got otu' A Classifications-at least a majority of us did. But we were only human. Again, as Christmas approached, the Boarders on the Junior lloor felt the old urge to celebrate. Consider- ate of others as always some of them tip-toed softly other- where , but somehow Miss Hannah must have heard the patter of little feet. Anyway she started investigating. The room under suspicion looked innocent enough. ft was not discovered that there were two girls in each bed, and others underneath the beds. Nor did the searching squad open the closet door to behold eight Juniors concealed. But murder will out. In February, Jane Bassett gave us a memorable pep talk and a good many of the class found themselves ignominiously reduced to D classification for six weeks, due to our penchant for fire . Evidently there is some truth in the axiom: Crime doesn't pay. As the year went on we began to take things more seri- ously, especially when it came time for the candlelight service which meant so much to us all. Then there was the Junior-Senior Banquet for which we had all been working so long. It turned out to be one of the most memorable and effective banquets the school had ever held, thanks to Miss Franz' generalship and the magnificent ideas and prodigious efforts of Conroy and Dunbar, Inc. Then came commence- ment, with Beth and Marget walking off with Scholarship E281 Awards and Barbara deservedly honored wil.h the Integrity Award. At last we were permitted to carry that treasured token, the daisy chain, which we received from the Seniors, proof that we were almost Seniors ourselves. It gave us a queer feeling to think that when we came back in Septem- ber we would be in top command with all that meant of responsibility as well as prestige. As Seniors we found we had lost some of our old Corps but we had new members to fill in the ranks. We were glad to have such grand girls as Margie, Ann, Connie, barbara and Anne to help us through our last year and share all the fun. There are too many eventful occasions in this last great year for us to give space to them all. Per- haps our proudest moment was when we received our Senior rings witn the significant chapel service that accompanied the Ceremony. Un St. Catherine's Day it was Barbara blades, to the satisfaction of all, who represented our special 5a.nt in a reverent and beautiful pageant which left a oeep impression on us all. Our next public appearance was in lighter vein with Babs taming Shrew Adeline in a fine performance splendidly supported by other members of the class. Just before Christmas holidays we got down to brass tacks academically speaking so as to achieve as much dis- tinction as possible in our Exams to impress the Colleges. 'l he Candlelight Service and morning carols were followed by that grand breakfast of Miss '1'urner's. Then the vaca- tion. Every one returned full of glorious tales of festivities, a dream from which the imminent approach of College Aptitude Tests rudely awakened us. There were other small things to remember and chuckle over, like the time when Miss Hannah was disturbed because three Seniors were reputed to have severe stomach aches and had consequently gone to the sick bay. Upon investigation, however, it proved that the pains were connected with a jar of peanut butler and a loaf of bread. Strictly from hunger. After all, pain is bread in French. We can't forget either the awful but also humorous occasions when everybody unknowingly walked out on Mr. Harp before his sermon was delivered. He admitted afterward that it had never happened to him before and we sincerely hope it never will again. Naturally the highlight of the year socially was our Senior dance, a great event to which we had all been look- ing forward for what seemed like ages. VVe changed from our regimental outfits to beautiful white gowns and walked dreamily tl'u'ough the figure to the tune of lVloonlight and Roses hardly knowing whether we were real or not. The whole dance was a superb success, and the figure was declared by the onlookers to be exceptionally lovely. Much credit is due to lVIary Conroy and to Shirley Poulson for the imagination and hard work they put into the whole affair, particularly the figure. Alter the last dance we trooped to the dining room for our Senior breakfast. Alas, at one o'clock taps sounded for those who dwell in the barracks though some of the more lucky and freer souls went on to more gaiety elsewhere. Now with the dance over and the QUAIR at long last being happily put to bed, we are all looking forward to spring holidays, with only the lowering shadow of College l5OEll'ClS disturbing our joy. After vacation there were the Day School Dance and the various teas and parties which go with the season, as well as the Spring Festival. There will also be the Junior-Senior Banquet. It will be strange to be the guests this year, instead of the hostesses, but we know it will be wonderful and we shall love being on the receiving end. Then Commencement itself with all it means to all of us, both of sadness and rejoicing! The years have slipped by all too swiftly. As we enter the auditorium for the last time as Seniors, as students of St. Catherine's it will be a big moment, a beginning as well as an ending. We shall leave the school amid tears and laughter and we know that in our hearts we shall always feel ourselves St. C1'ltl'16l'll'l6,S girls, returning often in memory to the happy, rich days of our life here. ' And so we end the tale of the Corps of 1950, first called to the colors, thirteen years ago. fByj MERI HODCES TWEET GLOBE JOYCE WALMSLEY. 1-jg H Ki z I pf 1 l r X1 X W i291 19419 Banquet ' 07 Sem X .Q S S Tfie 19503 9' me at GS wma E B z 3.

Taking advantage of Sara's absence I peered into it. Just then Guess Who bumped into me, and the next thing I knew I was on the other side . . . through the looking-glass. Having become quite accustomed to unusual happenings by this time, I was not at all perturbed by this transition until the question of whether or not I was breaking bounds occurred to me, but, while mulling this problem over, I heard a horn playing 'LDixie enthusiastically, and Ann Corn- ing whizzed by in a VVillie's Jeep. As I brushed the dust off myself, I noticed a darling hat in the window of the Mad Hatter's shop. I could not resist it, so I went in and bought it from the Hatter, who, of course, was none other than our friend Lyd. Lelia Manning was also in the shop buying a couple of dozen hats, and in- vited me to accompany her to a tea given by Meri Hodges, who is now wearing Pearl Mestals crown. On the way over, Lee described her rise to her present position as the guitar-playing star of the Diamond Horseshoe. Arriving at the tea I could hardly recognize any of the guests. My first glance showed me that my prediction about long hair coming back had come true. Commenting upon the profusion of flowers there, predominately African violets, I was told by Julie Holmes, the gym teacher out at St. Cat's, that the blooms came from Mary B.'s flower shop, the largest posy emporium in the country. Julie, by the way, has revolutionized physical education. St. Catherinels girls now have the best-trained jaws in the country. Marget Lotterhos came up to us next and tried to offer us some peanut butter she had in her pocketbook. Marget was doing so well as the artist for Esquire for a while, but that old incident about the peanut butter finally got her down and she's been like that ever since. Addie Harris was also there . . . she's playing Baby Snooks now. Addie tried to get into heavier drama, but her Castilian lisp proved to be a great drawback. Skeets was sitting with her so I went up to her to get the latest news. Skeets told me all about Conroy and her two cur-lee headed little sons, Joan Dunbar's attempted murder by Mr. and Mrs. H. for giving them a bottle of Hadacol as a wedding present, and Linda Bennet's marriage to Mr. F. It seems that they had too much in com- mon not to tie the knot. Skeets, incidentally, is at the moment between marriages and trying her hand as a columnist for the Voice of the Village. I finally tore myself away from Skeets and made my way to the door. Stepping over the sleeping Dormouse, Pat Jackson, I thanked my hostess, Meri, who advised me to drop in and see Ellie Stinson in her latest hit role in Sound Specific. I34l On my way out I encountered Carolyn Barnes, the Queen of Hearts, who said she was late be- cause she had just gotten out of report study hall. Never underestimate the power of St. Catherine's. I had meant to run down to Carnegie Hall to see Jean Gillespie who was billed there for the week, but I ran into Tweedledum Glore who told me that Jean's show was bogging down and advised me to go instead to take in Marion Yantis, show at the French Casino. I no sooner had continued on my way than I ran into a creature wrapped from head to toe in bandages and sporting a lovely pair of crutches. Upon closer inspection I discovered it was .Janet I-Ierrink, who was recuperating from another accident. Janet, by the way, is also a noted actress. She opens next week in the Making of the Stew, a revival of Kiss Me, Dale, written by Erwin Alderman, recently acclaimed as the month's most loveable author. I hailed a taxi and continued on my way. The taxi-cab driver, a talkative chap, who confided to me that the famous comedian, Ann Reeves, was his ideal, turned out to be engaged to Mattie. Jane never could resist taxi-drivers. As I paid the man and stepped out I spotted Sara Breckenridge. Sara, I learned, was the offi- cial kitchen-inspector in the government and had been making some astonishing finds lately. She was on her way over to a bridge party at the Country Club and invited me to join her. At the party I was enthusiastically greeted by many of my former classmates, including Betsy Back-seatw Church, who is the leader of the Back to Nature movement which is causing such a stir nowadays. Betsy CPollyannaj Shepherd, too, was there . . . sl1e was grinning like the Cheshire Cat, because, she said, she had finally snagged Jolson. Von Duck, said Betsy, had been threatened with impeachment again . . . I was quite surprised when I heard of Duck's election to the White House. Betsy also told me about Diana Renshaw's biography of Lincoln making such a hit. It was very unusual, she said, compared with most biog- raphies. We can well believe it. As I left Betsy I heard a busy little group buzz- ing away in the corner. There were Beth, Judy Peavy, Tinka, and Jackie. They were saying some- thing about what terrific Powers models Shirley Poulson and Joan de Sparre made. I went over to them to ask about Cackie Marks and the result was amazing. A hush fell over the room, but finally Jean Frazier, sitting on a couch with her twins Fi' and F i2 whispered that Lulu Ambrister and Cackie were tied for the place of Public Enemy No. 1. They have whipped up some explosive consider- ably more potent than the H-bomb. Rumor has it that they will test it on Grove Avenue right across from St. Stephen's Church. I wanted to stay and play a rubber of bridge, but, since I had run into so many of the Class of '50 and heard of some others, I wanted to complete the list. No sooner said than, done, for Barbara Blades honked and offered to drive me over to a get-to-gether Kay was having. Suddenly noticing several motorcycle police afore and aft I told Barb to slow down. She was quite surprised that I didn't know she was the head of the F. B. I. Kay's was sheer bedlam. Tweet CGorgeous Georgej Glore was displaying her muscles to any- one who cared to admire them. Polly Potter, the famous matador, was also there . . . she told me that some doctor finally cured her eyelid trouble when he found out that the cause was delirum tremums. Ann Goldstein and Joan Parker were busy refusing food . . . Mary Southall was arguing with everyone over whose dimples were deeper: hers or Pat Jackson's. Everywhere I turned I seemed to run into Archer Scales who wanted to know if I cared to advertise, and Betty lVlcMullan, who not only wanted to know if I had the time, but also the day, month, and year. Just to show that some members of our class have changed, Tinkie Lunsford and Cynthia Bill- ings were sitting primly on a sofa with the longest faces you ever saw, denouncing Lee. Margaret Davison was energetically swinging her cast and 'telling everyone to hurry up, while Margie Martin was writing a letter over at the desk to HMiss Castle and Classf, I went out to powder my nose and there was Margie Morris, sound asleep, Just like old times, I thought. They were still playing Doris Richards' records when I walked back . . . no one seems to be able to get enough of them. Beats me. Personally I prefer high brow stuff like Dorothy Calkins or Lily Pens. I could be corny and say Betsy Franz and Barbara Bradley were ray-diant as ever, but, actually, they both looked rather blue. It came out that Barb's stolen station wagon had been found lt 351 in very bad shape on the golf course. Betsy, naturally, was sympathizing with her. Turning my attention to the other side of the room, I noticed Fish Fowlkes trying vainly to talk over the telephone as usual while the two habitual dissenters, Connie Williford and Ann Fines were noisily quarrelling. Everything quieted down just then for the tele- vision set was turned on, Who to my wondering eyes should appear but Bert L'Blondie Cutchins in a charming show. Joyce Walmsley was a guest star on the program. An interesting foursome sitting next to me was Jane Bose, Ann Robertson, Mary Ann Finnell, and Camilla Hyde, all married and so of no par- ticular news interest. They were raving over Vir- ginia Byrd Dance's latest theory of relativity, and also over Marilyn March's new book of poetry, I Ate Toothpaste or Impressions of zz St. Cath- erine's Boarder. Glancing at my watch I saw it was high time I endeavored to get back to St. Catherine's, so I sought out Kay and expressed my thanks. Kay seemed very grateful to talk to someone who didn't want her autograph, so I cautiously asked her about the only four I hadn't seen or heard of: Palmer, Jennie Dockery, Ann Penton, and Polly Scott, hoping she wouldn't wonder why I wasn't better informed. She did look at me rather queer- ly, but told me Palmer was on her fourth mar- riage, Ann Penton was in at circus with a sensa- tional act of walking barefoot over hot coals, Polly Scott was a famous swimming star, and Jennie was still Just Jennie . . . to everyone's satisfaction. I tore myself away, and, standing on the door- step arranging my hair, puzzled over the problem of returning to school. Not that I wanted to, but there was some hope that I might have second mail. Suddenly-to this day I donlt know how- I wen! through my compact mirror, and here I am. -BARBARA BOURNE. ing' 941' W 1' agp -1 sw s Bs Miss Ruffin 5. Mr. Figgat, Miss Cocks 8.

I dance to the music, Flowers in my hair. Life is enchanting. I'm lloating on air. My escort in black, Is handsome to see, He gives me his arm. We waltz--one-two-three. Scarlet ribbon, red roses- Paper sky up above. To the Inazy music We all dream of love. -Doris Rose Richards, Class I Can Dream, Canit I? As I was walking home from school, My books fell to the ground, For difficult were they to hold, Odd shaped and slippery bound. Up from the earth my load was picked, By no familiar hand, But by a strange and handsome youth Who raised it from the sand. I looked no more about me then. My mind was in a daze. Not only did he take my books, But walked me home a ways. While strolling home another day, I wondered with a sigh, Why this same youth came not my way. But I can dream, can't I? -Jennifer Hilton, Class A Plea to Atlas O patient Atlas, our world's support, Through centuries of strain and stress, Please do not go on strike now, With the world in such a mess. At home we freeze and shiver-with no coal, While Congress bickers too. Prices exceed the pocketbook, And income tax is clue. You must have trouble balancing, Your load from left or right As East and Western spheres contend For conquest and for might. But labor on, dear Atlas, Though toil and strife abound. The dawn will break tomorrow, If you don't let us down. -Beth H ulson, Class 12. 11. 12. E691 Natureis Zllusic A tree, its tender trembling branches tossed Out to the wind and seemed to seek some sound From night of mystic blue, but still was lost To know what tune to play. So, rippling round Its deep green leaves, the breeze made gentle notes, As does the silvery sea upon the sand, And in and out among the branches floats, Then whirling down about the trunk to land, It springs back up again to tiniest spray. It blows and bustles, rides the lively leaves, And shivers up new springing shoots to stray Until a sprightly symphony it weaves. Good wind, that plays upon the passive tree, Are Naturels secrets hidden in thy melody? -Mary Io Arnold, Class 11. The Enviable Amoeba Deep down at the bottom of the fish pond in your garden, you could probably find, if you chose to look for it, a thriving community. It is in such places, in the cool, green slime, that the amoeba loves to dwell. Of all the creatures who inhabit our world, per- haps the most blissful is the peaceful little amoeba. Its happiness is due largely to the simplicity of his existence. The amoeba's life is void of the numerous complications of love. However, the average amoeba is never lonely since the most beautiful friendships may spring up among these infinitesmal creatures. True, there are those who, on account of some eccen- tricity, are alone in their watery world. Yet, this is always a voluntary state since a friendless amoeba can quite easily, at any time he decides his solitude is unbearable, simply divide himself into two amoe- bae. Naturally, being half of the original amoeba, neither one of the pair can snub the other. Neverthe- less, an argument occasionally arises as to who is the better half. In this case each amoeba is at liberty to divide himself again if he desires companionship. Life among the amoebae is pleasantly languid. Every little amoeba simply flows about at a moderate pace, for being somewhat slobbish in structure amoe- bae actually do drift along after the manner of a drop of water. You may fancy that an amoeba is scrawny in appearance. Not so. All amoebae are quite plump, since in the process of flowing along, they simply flow over and around any succulent morsel that they happen to come across. Having no fists with which to fight, no teeth with which to bite, the amoeba long ago found war im- practicable. Consequently there is no stimulus to altercation. From years of disuse the amoeba's tem- per is a nonentity. In case an amoeba should, how- ever, become a little moody he simply flows away from the other amoeba until he has recovered his equanimity. Even the poets have been motivated to write of this blessed microscopic creature of such gentle mien and peaceful existence. You will all recall the fam- ous song, so sweetly set to music, uFlow gently, sweet amoeba, among thy green slime , a lyric which has inspired multitudes with its profound universal significance. -Diana Henshaw, Class 12. Imffltlff. . . Two Loves RICHMOND The massive buildings, greyed with age, Unchanged by fashion's fickle whim, The crowds of people milling by On bustling, busy streets, the dim, Faint, distant skyline, traffic's noise, The Windows of the shops, the thrills Of theatre-going: concerts, plays, Ballet, and symphonies, applause that fills A whole packed house, a great museum's Priceless, ageless treasures, all The colors of a flower-vendor's stand, The pungent smell of orchids at a ball, A church's evening chimes at dusk, The Capitol Square and Monroe Park, Grey guardian statues, keeping watch O'er the city's beauty after dark. These things I love. All these are part Of me and mine, these have my heart. OAKLAND The gnarled old oak that guards the gate, The big front field with its lonesome pine, The dappled shade of the avenue , Whose friendly trees aren't quite in line, The doleful cry of the whippoorwill, The barking dogs, a bob-white's call And his mateis reply, the old grey barn, My horse's whinney from his stall, My mother's border nestled close Against the house, new painted white, A smoking griddle on an old wood-stove, A fire's rich russet, flickering light, The smell of hot fresh-buttered bread, ' The rhythmic squeak of a rocking chair, The red rugs on the parlor lloor, My father's footstep on the stair- These things I love, for they are part Of Oakland my home, Oakland my heart. -Margaret Reid Page, Class 11. ' The Storm f The sky was clothed in hostile cloud, The trees to the wind their branches bowed, An angry sea lapped up the shore, Olympus echoed Zeus's roar. A jagged streak of silver light, V Stabbed the earth with cruel might, Andall around the cold gray rain, Beat taboos on my window pane. -Joyce Walmsley, Clas Unfozdf Rosebud, ' Thatsits so jauntily Upon a green ,leaf throne and hides Its full bloom beauty from my eyes, Unfold! s 12. Stranger in the Home Yes, there's a stranger at our house, a totally incomprehensible, inexplicable, unpleasant young person. She appeared for the first time last week to the distress of my family, who go out of their way to avoid her dark scowls. Her shrill, rasping voice is enough to send little brother fleeing in terror. Poor cook, on merely hearing the stranger's short, angry footsteps outside the kitchen, descends to the base- ment with an alacrity she rarely shows when she goes about her work. This eccentric alien's bitingly sarcastic remarks force even Mother, with her gentle, kindly disposition to reprimand these evidences of unforgivable rudeness. Sister, who is usually one to debate any disputable situation with vigor and in- telligence, merely shrugs olf the strangerls gibes and departs for pleasanter atmosphere. Dad is not so passive under the strain. He gets angry and if Mother didn't remind him that this objectionable person in our midst is too old to be spanked, might resort to extreme measures. The creature haunts -the mail-box. Her ferocious glances at the postman have practically terrorized him so he has begun to leave our mail next door. Today began as usual, the Miserable One starting the day as Miserably as ever. Dad tore from the house with obvious relief, while the rest of the family fled the stormy presence with equal speed. The stranger plodded wearily to the mail-box, gloomily pulled it open, jerked out a package, two magazines and-a letter. From a window vantage point she was seen to rip open the letter, scan its contents, and then to the amazement of a casual passer-by, there emanated a loud war whoop. Our heroine C?j zoomed into the house, ascended the stairs, two steps at a time and cried out to whoever cared to listen-and few could avoid hearing-HI-Ie can come! As suddenly as the Stranger had arrived, the Stranger was gone, leaving a smiling, happy, normal girl, thrilled by an acceptance of her invitation to the Senior Prom. j -Jackie Begierz, Class 12. The Picture Sitting in the shadows, sipping their tea, They'll never notice Kitty an' me, Reclinin' and talkin' with wagglin' of chin, They don't even know that we'd like to come in. llll bet you could see through that window up there, A brook and' a garden with brooks everywhere, And flowers and even an old apple tree, P All crooked and bent and just waiting for me. The light is so soft and the room is so dim, And I'm dying to touch that wee bronze cherubim. The carpet's so thick-it's just made for a nap, And that cat looks so cozy asleep in her lap! But those funny old ladies'll sit there forever, The two of them chatting., I guess that they'll never Bother to lay down their knitting and tea, And pay some attention to Kitty 'nl me. -Patsy Morzcure, Class 12. -Barbara Bourne, Class 12. E701 Imprznts. .. Essence The sea- Monotony, The roar of the waves- Slaves To monotony. They cry, They sigh, And beat themselves Against the rocks For naught- Only monotony. The metronome of earth's rhythm- The sea- Monotony. -Diana Henslzaw, Class 12. Reverie Forget the troubled world, my thoughts, take flight And flee beyond its fear and sorrow, wing Your way above its dark and endless night. Forget, and know the peace a dream can bring: Escape from disappointments bitter tears. Leave far behind discouragement and pain, The burdens of the disillusioned years: Escape and know the joy that dreams contain. Descend, my dreams, and bear me far away From worry, sorrow, discontent, and fear. Transport me to a world where all is gay, Courageous, full of hope, and love is near. Elusive, iridescent, fleeting gleam Of peace, of freedom, happiness-a dream. -Margaret Reid Page, Class 11. Open lbw' Hearts I walked in darkness and was discouraged. I prayed to God, and he answered me-in the beauty of the flower, in the smile of a friend, in the warmth and comfort of a home in the evening. I rejoiced and my soul sang with the spirit of the fondness of God. For the Lord is gracious and giveth us great gifts. Open your hearts unto Him, and you will see I-Iis many blessings. I-Ie is with us always, and will always protect us. Rejoice ye in His strength, for He uplifteth the soul. -Roberta Williams, Class 10. Fabrics I love an idle jaunt through fabrics gay, To charm my eyes and while my time away, For fabrics lend themselves to dreams so well, With every gleaming fold they cast a spell. Taffeta shimmer, frost of organdy, Pure silk, gay chintz, alike all beckon me, And seem to whisper, Come, my child, and choose. Shall it be silver sheen or rainbow hues? I feel, I smooth, I stroke each shimmering fold, And in each color bright, myself behold. Then back to earth my winged fancies fly. Even a silken dream is born to die. -Ann Goldstein, Class 12. f71l Tlze Conquest The messengers of Winter sound their cry, The whole land hears their call so loud and clear The winged scouts with swiftness hurry by, And then' around the corner disappear. Now quickly come the armies-Hail and Snow, They harshly stamp the grass and whip the trees At once they conquer all the streams that flow, And soon will all the forests vanquished be, Then all are held within a snowy cell, And Winter stations all his troops to stay, So what will happen no one can foretell. But help for them is not too far away, For now Spring comes with all her warmth and joy Who soon the mighty Winter will destroy. -Anne English Stewart, Class 11 Study Hall Sonnet Here I've been sitting with pencil in hand- O come, Inspiration-O Mind, don't stray! I've thought of strange cities in foreign land, But mostly my fancies go wandering home. I picture my mother reading a book, With Dad on the couch, maybe snoring like mad. The cat's by the fire, or pursuing the cook. O why must I think when it makes me so sad? I drift off to Dartmouth which is even worse For it's Carnival Week and here I sit. If I weren't where I am I'd like to curse, Or even more logical, throw a fit. Thank goodness my fourteen lines are complete! All this brain effort has just got me beat. 1 -Margery lllartin, Class 12 S uppose! V Ilve been to school a million years, Or maybe only two. I've learned 'bout all there is to know, - There can't be more thatls new. I've learned that two and two make four And that the earth is round. With all that knowledge in my head, My educationis sound. Yet I must go to school some more, High learning for to seek. My crowded brain can't hold much more. Suppose it springs a leak! -Kay McKemie, Class 12 time Fly Little fly, upon the sill, Please don't move right now! Prithee stay there very still. Little fly, upon the sill You had better sign your will, To the world make your last bow. Little fly, upon the sill, Please don't move right now! -Patsy Moncure, Class 12 7 Imprints. . . The Dusty Road Along the dusty road my horse was walking, The day was very hot and clouds were towering Up in the sky-hints of a coming shower. We needed rain, brown grass was crackling in the heat, As a breeze blew sulkily-annoying it. Thick dust swirling! It was an oppressive day foreboding something- A something in the air, when I got up that morning Nothing good-then suddenly I knew When the little procession came along the road That this was what had haunted me- A man, a woman and a boy-only three-walking in the dust. The man was holding a tiny bundle Wrapped in a sheet-not a great load to carry, The little boy, with frightened eyes, held A withered bunch of flowers in his hot hand, The woman, tired, resigned, plodded along. They paused. I knew that in a little while the shower would break. -Mary Lloyd-Rees, Class 11. Petticoat Pendulum The glass of fashion and the mould of form: the observed of all observers! How often comfort, prac- ticality, economy, taste and good sense are sacrified for the sake of being A la mode! What sufferings the human form so willingly endures in order to be stylish! Can you imagine why ladies of earlier eras tor- tured themselves with bones and bands of steel? Surely not for ease. Certainly not! Rather they en- dured misery in order to insure a shapeliness-or rather mishapeliness-of figure completely at odds with the normal human structure. A lady was not truly fashionable unless she was a walking fortress, squeezed almost to nothingness in all the right places. How scandalous it was in those days to show an ankle, or even acknowledge that you had one! Yet, on occasion, as old portraits show us, the upper half of the lady was but scantily clad and there was no criticism. Inconsistent, you will say. Certainly. But are we today any more consistent? Our beach costumes cover but a small portion of the body. Yet we trip about carefree in these scanty garments and nobody thinks the worse of us. Indeed, we sometimes elicit admiring looks or even whistles of approval from the onlookers. But how shocking if we should appear on the beach clad in modest pajamas, beneath which only ten toes, ten fingers and a head protrude! 'fOutrageous!7' some would de- clare. Bad taste might be the comment of others. Or even more devastating- Beach pajamas are not being worn this year. Doesn't she know that? Then there are our hats-those fantastic creations which dip over one eye, or tower into infinity, or spread like a palm tree in prodigious proportions! These must be worn at luncheons, teas, or any other formal afternoon affair. But when the sun has gone down, and the cold night air blows, off with your hat, for bareheaded you must go, if you are to con- form to fashion's edicts, however meaningless. There is also the matter of colors which change 'too with the styles. Do you ever, on going down the street, think there must be something so wrong with your vision that you ought to consult an oculist? Don t be alarmed. You may think you see rainbows walking on the sidewalk, or two-legged butterflies passing, or other seemingly impossible figments of the imagination. But no. If you have read your Vogue you will recall that orange and pink are the latest thing in color combination, with maybe a blend of crimson and majenta for variety. VVhat you see is no fantasy. Just my lady A la mode showing off her new apparel. When men, poor creatures, are confronted with the evidences of the swift shifts in fashion, they are completely bewildered. One season, their wives and sisters will be wearing their hair streaming down their backs and their skirts will have barely nodding acquaintance with the knees. Next season, the femi- nine tresses will look more like delicately tinted steel wool, while the skirts will be dangerously close to serving as sweepers of the public thoroughfares. As a friend of mine says, I never know whether I am coming home to a wife, or to some rare species of Zoological phenomenon. Is it worth while, you ask? After numerous pain- ful experiences with the exigencies of fashion in dress, I may be a little bitter, but my sentiments are very definite. 'Tis better far to be the most native in the wildest jungle than to be a civilized lady dressed in the latest style. -Erwin Aldernuzn, Class 12. Communion Call, and the mountains will echo, Laugh, and the brook laughs too. Dance, and the leaves in the forest, Make music and dance with you. Sigh, and the wind all around you lVIoans with the sadness it hears. Weep and the heavens above you, For you and the world shed tears. All nature cries out to reach you. No star mocks when you pray. Every rosebud whispers to teach you, God meant things to be that way. -Barbara Bradley, Class 12. Sand Cold sand, Trickling through my toes- I-Iot sand, burning my body- Warm sand, comforting after the icy Cold waves! -Mary Lloyd-Rees, Class 11. Query Before a television set, I sit for hours, and look and look. Would it not be much better if Sometimes I'd just sit and read a book? -Ma1'Zha Mzzrzson, Class 11. Imfflliff. . . Aids to Concentration Concentration not being my strong point, I let my eyes stray round the study hall to see how others achieve the fine art. Maybe I can learn by obser- vation. There's M. for example. Is she achieving the de- sired results by followin her usual procedure of stabbing herself now and then in the brain and taking generous hunks out of her patient pencil? Maybe so, but it looks more like suicide to me. And there is poor B. obviously in the throes of despair- probably she has an essay to write too. Notice how she twists that one unlucky lock of hair in endless circles, showing no iota of the famous unstrained quality of mercy. A. goes her one better. She too is worrying her hair, at the same time going in for strange contortions of body, with a chaotic expression on her face. Of course, there are always present among us the pen tappers, who keep at the perform- ance with the persistence if not the gentleness of the oft quoted raven. It may be an aid to concentration for the tapper but it may also be driving all her neighbors into a state of nervous hysteria. Over there in the corner is X. staring fixedly into space. Is she concentrating or merely wondering if the human mind can go completely blank, and if so, what does one do about it? F. looks utterly be- wildered as she waves her pencil back and forth from ear to ear, stopping now and then to administer a sharp rap on her head with her weapon. No study hall is complete without the lip biter, almost as prevalent as the pencil chewer. C. also comes in among the gnawers. One wonders whether by Christ- mas she will have any thumb left. Old E. is no doubt concentrating, probably on the Dartmouth ski jump. She appears to be using her nose as a convenient take off. C. rubs her furrowed brow at regular intervals, possibly optimistically hoping that the routine will facilitate inspiration or tap some hidden source of information needed for tomorrow's test. I survey our Monitor who has more than one thing upon which to concentrate. She seems quite placid except for the twitching of the nose and an occasionally kick or pat of her foot on the floor. Judging from my impressions of these various mani- festations of concentration I wonder how the concen- trators can survive the punishment they mete out to themselves. The outcome appears to be something more like distraction. Nevertheless, I have gained from my diagnosis of popular aids to concentration. Thanks to my schoolmates and their gyrations I have -believe it or not-concentrated, myself. I must have, for here is that required personal essay com- pleted almost painlessly so far as I am concerned. -Ellie Stinson, Class 12. llloonshine The moon shines, And tiny ripples Tell of a whispering breeze, With sails creaking, The boat slips along- A moonlight adventure. -Mary Lloyd-Rees, Class 11. Dream Home A perfect home to me would be A little cottage with white-washed walls, And a roof as red as an apple, A little curl of blue-black smoke Coming out of a moss-covered chimney, With a mocking-bird in a nearby tree Singing and calling out to me, Green grass and flowers growing around, A patch of clover near the door, And a winding pathway wending down To the little stream behind the house- That's what a perfect home would be! -Mariah Chisholm, Class 11. If I Should If I should do the things they say I ought to do- If I should always go to bed when told, And always be quite friendly when my friends are cold, And always smile like sun when I am blue- If I should remember to wash my face and hands, And never, never should forget to put the toothpaste back, And always pile the towels most neatly on the rack- CDo boys all have such troubles in those foreign lands?j If I should always scrub behind the ears, And always shut the door when I go out, If I should up the stairs less loudly shout, And hold my head up high when others jeer- If I should do these things I'd be my mother's joy, But would I-could I-be a human boy? -Mary Ann Finnell, Class 12. Springtime The wonderment of each spring born anew, Replacing frigid winds with balmy breezes, Where once was cold, white snow, now shines the dew, And each fresh leaf and bud and flower pleases. The bright-hued birds return from travels wide, Splashing their red and blues against the green. This never ending cycle, like the tide, Assures us God is here to paint the scene. When apple-blossoms don their robes of pink, And pearl bush has her jewels on display, Such beauty makes me hold my breath and think How fleeting is the time that it will stay. Let's make the most of every lovely spring And the new life and color it will bring. -Martha Munson, Class 11. Winter Nocturne The stars So cold 'and white, The air like liquid ice, The frosty grass, now crisp beneath My feet. -Mariah Chisholm, Class 11. fmprzizif. . . The Knight in the Scarlet Hood Now in the days of good Lord Lear, There lived a knight so bold That men would turn to ashen gray When tales of him were told. By all, this knight was called Sir Fear, For he was strong and cruel, I-Ie rode about the countryside, To try o'er all to rule. Up from the South there came a knight All brave he was and good, Clothed all in black was this true knight Save for his scarlet hood. To duel he challenged base Sir Fear, This Knight so brave and good, Sir Fear did take the challenge bold With him in scarlet hood. The swords did clash in mighty blows Down fell the true, good knight, His dying words were not of self, They told of virtue's might. Forth rode that cruel and mean Sir Fear, Not him who was so good, For death has come and there he lies, Beneath his scarlet hood. -Jennifer Richardson, Class 11. To You, O Mirror'.f Imagination stirs within me hope When I am at a tea or dance, That I with all the fairest others cope, As I about the crowded room do prance. I trust with all my heart, that others note, While I am sleighing down snow-covered bank, My rosy cheeks, and on my color doteg That in their eyes is admiration frank. But these false hopes are short and soon to die, For they are doomed by nature's verdict true, Just one quick glance, O Judge, and how they fly, When in their place comes recognition new. A glance your way proclaims all fancy past, O Mirror Mine, you show the truth at last. -Jennifer Hilton, Class 11 Fm Me I love Me for the things I say. I love Me dear in every way. My qualities are fine to see. I'm proud of Me, as proud can be. So I look at you with a long, drawn sigh And can't help wondering why, oh, why, These things in Me you do not see, But I can't help it for I'm Me. ' -Marion Cathcart, Class 11 f74l Precious Th i ngs My evening thoughts are very far away, And dream of home which I miss more each day. The dark brown shingles weathered well and worn, Which haven't been painted since I was born, The patter of feet on the carpet red, The creak of the springs when I get into bed, The stair banister where so often I've slid, The big hall closet where presents are hid, The rattle of dishes, the smell of meat, The saying of each grace as we take our seat, The heat from the fireplace, warming the heart, The toys on the floor, the ball, and the cart, The broken chair rung, the spot on the rug Which marks where Johnny once killed a big bug- These things very tiny may seem to be, But each and all are precious things to me. -Betty Wilson, Class 11. Perfumes Memories are like the little bottles of perfume on my dresser, each essence fragrant, inviting. See, some perfume has evaporated: so, too, do memories lose their enchantment when they are jostled from hiding and exposed to the present. A memory can only lose' its meaning, but what's a memory without any significance-a perfume that has lost its original lovely smell? But the little glass bottles, even when empty, still retain a veil of fragrance, so do mem- ories linger after they have long been put aside. -Elise Power, Class 10. Evening I sat alone by the lake watching the night draw on. There was no sound except for the peaceful lap- ping of the water and the croaking of a frog, hidden somewhere among the tall reeds that framed the lake. The sun seemed to linger on the far distant mountain tops for one breathless moment, setting the sky ablaze before it disappeared behind their lofty heights. The cattails loomed dark and ominous against the flaming sky. Then, too soon, the gold and crimson gave way to the deep purple of evening that suddenly engulfed the heavens. The first stars peeked from behind the clouds that had hidden them and 'began to twinkle in the distance. The full moon rose high over the lake, edging each wave with moon glow and building a silver bridge into the land of dreams. -Ella Prince Trimmer, Class 10. Poor? Poor? With flaming sunset, Ruby and topaz leaves, And brilliant golden harvest moon, Poor With these? -Martha Munson, Class 11. Dnprzhts. . . A Psalm I am like a song-bird before the Lord, He witnesses my singing with a fatherly love, My troubles flee as the four winds before his presence. My very soul adores Him and all he stands for. He that doth not put his trust in the Lord Is cast away as an evil spirit. Rejoice then, brothers! Let nothing disturb you, But that ye bring it to the Lord. The Lord is forgiving and shall cause your worries to cease and your distresses to fly away. He will make your song to burst forth into all the the corners of the earth, , And your days to be spent praising Him and saying good of His name. -Susan Salterfeld, Class 10. I Ours God, do You see when I'm angry at nurse, Or do You see only when I'm much, much worse? Do You really see everything I do? And my thoughts? Do You know them, too? Can You listen to the French children across the sea At the same time that You listen to me? Do You have a big ear that leans down from the sky, Or is all they've been telling me just one big lie? You listen and see, all this I know, I don't need to ask 'cause nurse told me so. You are the Maker of our universe, You did. very well, things could be worse. You shifted the land, and You've moved the sea. But though You're so big, You still think of me. You are all powerful, great, Divine, And what is more, You're the world's and mine. -Ann L. Binswanger, Class 8. lflflzat I Think When I listen to the voice Of the canary ringing, You know what I think? I think God is singing. When I listen to the peal .Of the chimes, and after You know what I think? I think it's God's laughter. When I see models made By the hands of a boy, You know what I think? I think it's God's joy. When I see the gentle Descent of a dove. You know what 'I think? It's God's flowing love. -Betsy Townsend, Class 8. f75 l On Olympus I'd like to go to Olympus And see the gods at play, I'd like to watch Ceres Gathering in the hay, I'd like to catch Janus Looking north and south, Ild like to see Bacchus With a wine jug to his mouth. I'd like to bet on Mercury Running in a race, I'd like to gaze on Venus With her very lovely face, I'd like to hear Minerva The girl with all the brains, Ild like a sight of Jupiter Bringing down the rains. I'd like to watch Neptune Riding on a Wave, I know I would admire Mars Because he is so brave, I'd like to meet Diana, Apollo, and Cupid, of course, But what I'd like the most to see Is Bellerophon on his horse. -Betsy Moncure, Class 7 My Dolls One day I went up to the attic To take a look at my dolls, One of them was supposed to be sick, - And the others had had some falls. The sick one had on a pink nightgown, All dainty, clean, and sweet, On her face there seemed to be a frown, I put bootees on her feet. I brushed the dust from their faces, Put them all into their beds, They had pillows of different laces Under their little heads. If I ever have a little girl, I'll give her every doll- Piosemary, Betty, Jane and Pearl, I hope she will love them all. -Keith Tyler Newton, Class 8 Young Pegasus Our garden has a winged horse, A little colt of lead. - ' b His four small hooves are poised to spring His feathered wings are spread. Young Pegasus is about to soar Above the trees so high, Up and up, through billowy clouds That drift in the endless sky. -Pamela Gibson, Class 8 7 fmprzlzts. . . The Beetle-Bug It was early on a summer morn That the little Beetle-Bug was born. He grew up green with polka dots. And legs? Oh, he had lots and lots! He grew big and long and very fat, He was sly and smart as any cat, He was happy and lively and very gay, As gay as the fluttering breezes in May. He had antennae long and thin, That heard every tiny little din. He had big, soft, gauzy wings That looked just like a fairy king's. He had a very hard outer shell Which kept him from harm whenever he fell. His eyes were big, and greedy and green, As bright as ever a jewel seen. He slept in a hole Way down in the ground, Which was lined with pine needles nicely browned. He lived with his mother and sisters three, And thought, 'LOh, it's wonderful to be me! . -Frances Lee Harmon, Class 8. Fall The leaves are falling from the trees, Gliding and dancing in the breeze. Now the summer has turned to fall, Which means the raking of leaves for all, Leaves which have turned from red to brown, And gather thick upon the ground. They crackle as the flames grow high, 'Tis such a pity that they must die. -Waller Roberts, Class 7. Spring Out of their buds jump the bright petals, Out of the tree tips come downy leaves, Growing in such pretty shapes, Magic fringe that Nature weaves. Violets, crocus, and daffodils, And all the other lovely flowers, Come punching up out of the ground, In the warm spring showers. -Katherine Lloyd-Rees, Class 7. Nick His hair is brown and his tail tipped white, Of all the dogs in the world, I'd pick My little puppy whose name is Nick. But he's mostly made of appetite. He likes to romp, but soon I peep Some day Illl teach him one good trick, And see him curled up fast asleep. So he'll vvin a prize, my puppy Nick. -Mary Taylor, Class 8. l76l Fairy Land Fairy Land is a land of dreams, Of little fairy sunbeams. Shall I open the gate by the tiny tree, See what Fairyland looks like to me? There's a rainbow bubble floating by. Shall I hitch a ride and look from the sky? I see fairy forms and a mirror lake, And little towns such as fairies make. I hear tinkling bells from the sugar church, And elves come jumping off of their perch, Peppermint leaves drift down from the tree. Oh, it's4 a beautiful land to see! But I have to go back down the fairy lane, Though maybe next week I can come again. -Patricia Eastin, Class 6. I Wfonder I wonder why the earth is round, And why gravity holds us to the ground. I wonder why I have a nose, Arms and ears, and fingers and toes. I wonder why cats scratch and claw, And what a squirrel's tail is for. I wonder why the grass is green, And why the wind is never seen. I wonder what makes horses neigh, And why they like raw oats and hay. I wonder why children catch measles and mumps, And why the camel has funny humps, And why the ducks have web feet and beaks, Why we have months and days and weeks. I wonder why we live in a house, Why ladies scream at the sight of a mouse, Why when I spell I sometimes blunder- I wonder-I wonder. -Ann Kolipinslzi, Class 6. Brambel and the Elf Brambel is a little fawn that lives in the woods. One morning on Elf Hill as Brambel was walking by, there was a big noise. Just then, an elf came running out. What is the matter? asked Brambel. The hill is falling in, cried the elf. Brambel looked at Elf Hill. '4It's not falling in, said Brambel. Oh, thank you for telling me, said the elf. The king said it wasf, Just then a thumping sound came from be- hind some bushes. It was a rabbit, all the time, thumping on top of Elf I-Iill. -Diane Haley, Class 3. Over the Lake Over the lake, I see the moon, So late, in the beautiful night. Over the lake, dark shadows loom And dancing waves are dressed in white. Along the shore, rocks, black and gray, Keep watch while seagulls sleep. The breezes blow by night and day, Over the water dark and deep. -Harriet Rein, Class 5. Imprints. . . Season Fairies The little snow :fairies are dressed in white, And they sing and sing with all their might. The spring fairies like rocks and rills, And like the pretty daffodils. The summer fairies are dressed in green, And they love their beautiful forest queen. The fall fairies like the fresh, cool breeze, And love to play in the world's big trees. -Charilla Thomas, Clas If Ifs Me If something white you chance to see, Dressed like a ghost it might be me. Dressed like a ghost, I expect to go. What I really look like you won't know. My friends and neighbors I shall see, But they'll see a ghost and not see me. I'll be all covered with a sheet, From top of my head, down to my feet. So speak to every ghost you see, And Illl speak back, if it is me. -Mrzry Watt, Cla VV hat I Like I like to go in the woods and play And feel the sunshine's warming ray, I like to sit by a brook and think, And I like the water cool to drink. I like to walk beneath the trees And feel the cooling, refreshing breeze, I like to pick flowers and slide in hay, S A barn is a place where I'd like to stay. Of course I love the snow so white, It always is a lovely sight! But what I like the best of all Okahahwis It's oh, so very hot on the train, And over and over I think again, Of meadows green and robins' call, Of plashing spray in waterfall, Of shadow clouds in a limpid pool, Where I shall dive-so cool-so cool! A path on which I love to run, Where leaves make patterns in the sun- A wood fire-and a mountain tramp- Oh, here's the station! We're at Camp. -Julie Brenarnan, Class 11. I-Iollowelen Night Hallowe'en Night is ever so frightful, Tho, to many children it is delightful. On I-Iallowe'en Night you'd better watch out For the witches are flying round about. At least so they say and it could be true, That something awful might happen to you. I really don't know but I would advise, That you do as they say-it might be wise. Hallowe'en Night is black as a cat. If you see a witch yould better scat. On Hallowe'en Night everything is scary, So every one would better be wary. -Courtney Harris, Class 41. The Little Reindeer There was once a little reindeer. He was one of Santa Claus's reindeer. His name was Dancer. He loved candy. One day he found a box of candy. Oh! how he wanted to eat it. So he ate one piece. Then he ate another and another and another. Soon he had eaten the whole box. Then Santa came in. He saw Dancer. He said, You have eaten a child's candy. Dancer felt very sad. He said, HI am sorry, Santa. I will never do it again. And he never did. -Martha Cole Glenn, Class 3. Barn Dance Let's dance a jig, Said a cow to a pig, Are the painted leaves that come in the fall. Souii Rai ifgswleagge able. -Susie Totten: Class 6- And to the beat of the band Christrn-as Every Day Santa comes but once a year, And that's the proper way, But in our hearts, And in our lives, It's Christmas every day. They danced around the stable. -Page Moncure, Class 4. Little Girl There was a little girl. Her Name was Pearl. She learned her A, B, C's And everyone was pleased. -Mary F lorance, Class 3. -Janet Herring, Class 1.

Many of them look towards college educations and career opportunities which could not have been theirs except for life insurance purchased for them years ago by a loving parent or relative.

Parents should help their children to take out policies at as early an age as possible. 'Taking out such policies and then turning them over to the Children as soon as they are self-supporting starts them out in life with a gift of real value and assists them in acquiring early a sense of responsibility and habit of saving which will help them throughout their lives. CALVIN Coounois. This is indeed a Wise observation. Today, many parents are including in their estate plans substantial amounts of insurance on the lives of their children. Because of the Wide variety -of Juvenile contracts issued by this 79-year-old company, you will find it advantageous to consult us about your children's life insurance. HERBERT R. HILL, C. L.
