PLAY DAY ibNavy! Win that goaNH, Answer echo-iiArmy! Rah! Rah! RahV In the glorious heat of a day in May, and the still more glorious heat of a volleyball battle rival teams panted, perspired, combatted doggedly, good'naturedly, for it was playr day. Wellrpitched teams showed profitable results of the last few years of excellent volley ball training. The scene was a veritable Sells Floto with its neverrceasing action, its stunts going on in various parts of the held. As we revelled in the flags and pennants waving over the campus, we felt that little more could be desired for this crowning day of the athletic year. Enthusiasm never waned and spirits soared joyously with the carer freeness of happy hearts. Tennis displayed excellent prospects of future stars in the welleplayed matches. Cecile Bertrand was winner of the tennis tournament. Spectators and players were ushered through a grand period of hilarity and gay laughter, while gazing upon the most unique events of the day, the informal races. 'There were costume relays, with all their red'hot excitement, sack races, potato races, and clever stunts. Quality and quantity were eagerly exhibited in the perfectly formed pyramids and in the beautiful drill work. Last but not least, the girls showed what they could offer in the way of sprinting and highrjumping. The glorious day was crowned with the awarding of honors and the presentation of the silver loving cup to the valiant seniors. CATHERINE QUINLISK, 31.

THE S Only three short years ago sever , backed by the support Of the faculty, decided to publish a K. . of a persistent typewriter, the shuffle of papers, the rumblin ou'oq 1es of the editoreall these were heard With increasing volume as the ftkl -' approached. I And now the fourth Sail: astican has been produced. It possesses the experience of former years upon w ' to build. It has their mistakes to correct, their loyalty and interest to equal, their successes to surpass. It is With such an attitude that the staff of the 1931 Scholastican began to work. The position of editorrin'chief was held by Betty Lapp, and Margaret Simon acted as associateeeditor. Through all the work and grind the staff cooperated wonderfully with the editor. No time wais too precious, n0 sacrifice too great to contribute to the success of the annual. The staff of 1931 Wished to depart from the solemn spirit of the two previous years. They wanted their book to represent in its art, its write'ups, its very essence, some of the joy and happiness that the quickly passing days of school had held for them. And so through the book runs the lilting mirth 0f Miltorfs 11L1Allegr07 Graceful nymphs and dryads dance across the pages; lazy, drifting clouds hang over a spring'drenched wood. Youth, love, and happiness, marshal the hours of our school days and fill even the twilight memories with the song they chant. After losing ourselves within these pages, and feeling in our hearts a kindred spark to that joyous spirit we may well exclaim with Milton: 11These delights if thou canst give Mirth, with thee I mean to live.
