Only 58 more days. and then where will we be? Good guess, fixing to go home. But when you do go, Honey, don't forget your fellow-sufferer in English and Math., and the good times we had together in those classes. Yours 'till the ear-rings, W. C. GIRL. PARTIES Party for the old girls and their little sisters. This is a piece of my baby sis' bonnet string. I-Iallow'een Party-Oct. 28. - Surely did have a good time. Heard the ghosts of several famous men speak. November 10 The L-hall teachers are entertaining half of the faculty with a Bunco party. They seem to be having a good time. A , November 29 The other half of the faculty are having a Rook party. l'm afraid they're having too many social functions. The Juniors took the Seniors on a movie party.

The reception hall looked beautiful. The San Antonio Academy boys were invited. We spent a delightful evening. ' March 16 The Colonna Art Club gave a darling St. Patrick's party. The games were very entertaining, and the eats extremely good. At the close of the party, we all rushed to kiss the Blarney Stone, and confetti was showered on us. March 17 The seventh grade entertained the sixth. From all reports, they seem to have had a delightful time. I know their eats were good because I got some. Here's a piece of the paste-board plate. . March 17 The Academy Seniors gave the College Seniors a tea. The T contest was very entertaining. The plates were certainly served generously in a green and white color scheme. Everything harmonized with the St. Patrick season, even to the little green and white pipes formed on the plates. March 31 The faculty celebrated All Fool's Day. Miss Luker and Miss McReynolds were hostesses. They say Miss Allen won the prize for the biggest fool. Did you ever? Miss Mainard got a sack of peanuts and would not share them with Miss Runkle.

LUPINE LEAFLET 35 -' TCDeD6QlVi'.,YE STGRDQV Westmoorland El U Us Muriel Forbes Have you heard of this school out West End way That is to be built again, if we have our say, That runs nine months without a holiday, And then! just along about the last of May, When the girls out there can no longer stay, To their homes they will go without delay, Charming the boys with painted lips, Scaring their parents into fits? Have you ever heard of that schooll say? In September nineteen twenty-two, When the heavy clouds had a leaden hue, Came beautiful girls many and few. That was the year we scuttled about, Practicing a play, that never came out- Which caused the girls to quarrel and pout, But the heavens proved a water spout. Look! the sun shines bright on Commencement Day, And the girls go rejoicing on their way. Everything passes off so fine, But the academy girls want a line, Or some other sign to let them know That their grades on the finals were not too low, But we'll hear from Miss Miller early or late, And we will be happy to know our fate. Westmoorland College is in our minds ln a few years more we hope to find A building beautiful to behold in the heart of our ln the heart of our city placid and old, Where the girls still learn science and arts. May thoughts of her always live in our hearts. city t.,.,.a
