THE EVENT OF THE YEAR All the books of boarding school life I have ever read described at least one midnight feast the girls had had and I decided we didn't want to go home not being able to tell of one of our own. Our hall was going to gather in Anne and Marian's room to discuss the plans since Miss May was out. It may be unusual but everyone voiced her opinionsg even Maybelle said, But we might get campused, and gee! Of course this was quickly followed by our faithful little Bourque who said Come on, Maybe, be a good sport like me. just think what fun we'll have. Maybelle meekly agreed with joan. Mary and Maxine, both full of the devil and not especially caring if they stayed or not, did their duty with a mere O. K. by me. Whatis a week-end or so? Anne being a good sport thought it would be just the thing. Marian thought her folks would be out of town and she said all right. Robin and Mary Lou were rather fond of their week-ends but in a few minutes voted affirmative. I, being tired of trying to inviegle people to invite me out, of course told them I surely would agree. The next thing of importance was the menu. Since big cheese crackers seemed to be our favorite they were soon decided upon. Ham and pickles completed our spread which Robin, Marian, and Mary Lou were going to buy. There seemed to be one big problem we hadn't thought about. How were we going to get up? Very fairhfullyl volunteered to take an alarm clock under my pillow. When it would ring at 12 o'clock I was going to tiptoe to each room and wake the girls up. Everything seemed to be just fine now. A As soon as we got up to leave Mary Lou suddenly asked, When is it going to be? The next minute as it came in found us all back in our places talking at once. Instead of going into much detail I'1l say it was to be Wednesday, the next night. All the next day we were very excited and happy although not enough to let our loyal faculty catch on, we hoped. When 9:30 rolled around we were all in our jolly beds thinking far ahead into the night. It all seemed to depend on me now but since the alarm was set everything was as it should be. Something woke me! Nlow the big feed. But no alarm was sounding even muffled. Daylight was shining in my eyes. My heart seemed to fall under the bed as I pulled out the alarm clock which showed one minute to seven. Suddenly it dawned on me that I hadn't wound the alarm. -Dorothea Slate-Freshman TO THE TUNE OF TWO HEARTS BEAT IN 3-4 TIME To Starrett we'll be ever true.

TO THE TUNE OF ON, WISCONSIN Go, you Freshmen,-go, you Freshmen, Wave your banner high! The green and white with symbols bright Shall fly forever more, rah! rah! rah! Go, you Freshmen,--go, you Freshmen, Remember what I say! To reach success and happiness You must Work without delay. -Virginia Ratz, Freshman HOW DISGUSTING! One day after having taken about seven lessons in riding horseback, I thought that 1 was thoroughly experienced, and I asked the riding master if he would put me on a horse that was hard to handle. He smiled, and said that he would. When I mounted this horse, I thought that I was quite someone, as the man told me thatI was riding a very dangerous horse. He said her name was Maxine. All during the ride, one could see a pained expression on my face, as I thought I was having a very hard time of it. I was constantly pulling on the reins and yelling Whoa, Maxine! This horse simply paid no attention to me at all. When I got off the horse, Miss Cole said, Well, Joan, how did you get along on Snuggles? When I heard this, I nearly collapsed, for Snuggles is the tamest horse in that riding academy. I was quite disgusted, as my Qsupposedlyj dangerous ride was quite uneventful. -Joan Bourque, Freshman FRESHMAN When from the lower grades you pass Into the higher school, You think you're quite an important lass, But no one do you fool. Your bright colors oft in loud display Yearning for attention day by day. Ignored, oppressed, confused by problems deep Throughout a long-drawn year you oft will weep. -Lois Wendt, Freshman THE FRESHMAN CLASS CLASS The Freshmen We Are glad to see, To have such loyal company. Though We're only eight, We still are great, The class has class you see. -Maxine Chapman, Freshman Thirty
