The Seniau, 21/4.ept — Though now she is thin and rather tall, This dimpled smile's not changed at all.

The lass who is digging in the sand Was at Gloucester-town, best in the land.

This tiny face has not grown less round, But on it, spectacles are found.

Though this picture is done in black and white, The eyes you can't see are a beautiful sight.

The curls on this pate are brilliantly red— And really, we think, enough has been said.

E'en at this age, she'd say, "It's quite odd When I don't spend vacations at Falmouth, Cape Cod."

This plaintive expression we frequently see, When its owner is rushing to print the "L. D."

The face is so cheerful, the smile so gay That we suspect, then as now, that a song's on its way.

Her favorite possession was a flower, we see; Now the object of affection begins with a

Regard the long stockings. We wonder if they Conceal black-and-blue marks, quite frequent today.

This smile, we hope, won't be marred by a tear When the BLUE MOON Book comes out this year.

This miss, if it's true what we have heard, Once a bike to a blue car preferred.

The hair of this moppet is again short this year— But now it's in waves; no cur-r-uls we fear.

The very sweet countenance on this dainty lass Says she's the least temperamental of all of our class.

If in guessing these names you are in a fix Go back and look at more recent ta'en pix.

And here's one more clue: it's true and you know That Seniors, in order, inevitably go.

—ANON

Seniors vs. Lewis Carroll The Senior girls were studying hard, Studying with all their might: Trying their very best to make Themselves seem very bright — And this was odd, because it was A most unusual sight.

"But wait a bit," gay Carol cried, "Before we have our chat; For one of us would like some food, If it won't make me fat."

"No hurry!" then said Polly dear.

Car'l thanked her much for that.

The girls were sad as sad could be, The books were dry as dry.

You could not see a smile, because No smile was in the eye.

Soon Dent and Latin would be done, But June ninth would then draw nigh.

"A Latin Trot," Anthea said, "Is what I chiefly need; These Cicero orations Are very hard indeed.

If someone knows what toll() means, I'll try to pay close heed."

Margie H. and Donna C. Were walking hand in hand: They paused a moment just to see Our busy little band: "If only this could last fore'er," They said, "it would be grand."

"But think of us," Sib Irvine moaned, "Trying to find a note For Miss Burckel on major triads Does very dearly dote."

"What about the song," Marje Winslow asked, "That the music class all wrote?"

"If seven maids with seven mops Swept for half a year ...

Do you suppose," Sibyl Mathews cried, "Anyone could make math clear?"

"I doubt it," then said Patty Jones, And shed a bitter tear.

"It was so nice of you to come!

Your voice is soft and sweet."

This Mary said to Sally H. (They never miss a beat) Between the two, as you have heard, Our Glee Club's really neat.

"Oh, Sally Hall, come sit with us," Sweet Marjie then did call.

"A pleasant chat, a pleasant talk, About what's happened since last fall: What did we do, when you weren't here To give a smile to all?"

Patsy and Judy hurried up All eager to compete Our gathering of fourteen girls: They quickly took a seat; Judy told a funny joke — One that Patsy could not beat.

"The time has come," our Polly said, "To talk of many things: Of skirts — and scarfs — and sweaters grey — Of ribbons — and of rings — And why the regulations stand — And what the future brings."

"Oh, Seniors," said our D. T. P., "You've had a lot of fun!

When will we see you once again?"

But answer came there none — And this was scarcely odd, because They'd gone home, every one.

ANTHEA DE ROUVILLE, '50 SIBYL IRVINE, '50

Savoyard Saga - 1975 After months of preparation, I was finally ready to start on my archaeological exploration-trip into the wilds of the Savoyard mountains. Interestingly enough, my latest trip was being sponsored by an old schoolmate of mine, Anthea de Rouville, who, as most of you know, is the editor of that internationally known magazine, The Blue Moon. Sibyl Mathews, the original co-editor, who, together with Anthea, had brought the first slim volume from scratch up to its present center of attention, read by millions every month, had decided to sell out her share of the magazine, and, when she and I got together and started talking about my new plans for the Savoyard trip, it took no effort at all to persuade her to go along. I felt completely assured that her presence would insure success to the trip.

At dawn one cold morning, my party set out in a gigantic transport plane. I was immediately put at ease when I saw Sally Hall's slight, familiar figure seated at the controls.

Sally's fame and renown as the most skilled and daring woman aviator of our century had permeated even the vast jungles of South America where my past trips had taken me.

It seemed no time at all before we reached the continent, and we were shortly on our way to the Savoyard Mountains, by way of an ancient train which crawled wearily up the steep grades. Imagine Sibyl's and my surprise when Margie Hiatt burst into our car holding a huge basket filled with playbills and tickets.

She rushed over to see us with great excitement.

I had followed her progress as a brilliant play director and producer in New York's society for many years, and was now interested to hear of her latest stunt. She'd been selling hundreds of tickets to her plays in Europe,

and had hundreds more which she seemed very optimistic about selling. Hearing our plans, she immediately decided to join us in the dark, savage mountainlands, and sell the ignorant Savoyards her tickets. We were all very pleased to have her.

The region had exquisitely lovely scenery, yet the villagers were "foul with that gloomy foulness bred only of torpor," and for the most part we dined on black bread. However, I felt that this beautiful, savage country held great promise for me in the way of archaeological discoveries.

The very first morning I set out bright and early at 11:30, leaving Sibyl and Margie to get more sleep. And my great effort was rewarded, for after about fifteen minutes' walk through the lush and rank but beautiful countryside, I came upon a building of strange architecture, decaying in parts, which I immediately took to be an ancient place of worship. Breathless, I stumbled through the door. There, confronting me on all four sides, were pictures hanging on the wall. Rushing to one of the pictures which I divined to be of primeval art, I was quite surprised to find it a picture of the wharves at Gloucester, Massachusetts, and the artist's name and address boldly printed in the corner — Judith Cohan — Gloucester. Well, after a slight period of thought, I decided that it wasn't too strange, because this famous painter's works were known far and wide.

The next day was also one of great reward.

While Sibyl and I were out hunting for fossils, and Margie was trying to sell tickets, I saw a sight which made me, as a professional archaeologist, start with wonder and surprise. High up on a mountain top, spreading over acres and acres, was a tremendous stone castle, with

a wealth of turrets, moats, ells, and fortifications. I recognized it immediately as a type of architecture characteristic of a people long extinct. With my heart in my throat, I climbed over rock and dale, dragging a panting Sibyl and Margie behind me. As I stood before the giant stone gates, I heard music which was vaguely familiar to me — ah, yes — it was Rimski-Korsakov's Song of Scherherazade. Summoning up my courage, I threw rocks at the door till a window was suddenly thrown up above me. A scream came from it, and looking up, I saw Carol Tomajan waving and gesticulating joyfully to us. Having gained entrance, we were soon enthralled by the tale she told us. The whole world had been shocked by the news of her disappearance, ten years before, but there she was, happily wed to Baron Charles von und zu Gligsialaturi, wealthy and handsome man of the mountains, there in the midst of all that barbaric splendor, with anything in the world she wanted.

She told us she was expecting Donna Cameron, another classmate of ours, for a week's visit. When Donna arrived, the five of us had a regular class reunion, reclining on silk and satin pillows and velvet rugs, and dining on caviar and wine. Apparently Donna had been very moved by an essay she had once read on the home conditions of the Savoyards, and had resolved to do her bit to improve them. She'd been giving courses in Home Economics to the hitherto ignorant Savoyards, and also, in the bargain, had been getting them to knit squares and make handkerchiefs for the Red Cross, with which she was still affiliated.

She also told us that there was more education going on among the Savoyards than we had thought possible. Polly Heath had suddenly arrived in the midst of the mountains, brandishing a big box of Student Council Handbooks, and many signs such as "No Smoking," "No Lipstick," and "No Running in the Corridors," which she had apparently gotten second hand somewhere, at a great discount. She

had, Donna explained, set about fearlessly to bring law and order into the lives of the Savoyards, and had been very successful. Not stopping at merely governing, she had built a big, seven-mile ski tow on one of the better mountains, received great business, and used the proceeds in the government.

Patty Jones, too, had decided to cast her lot with the Savoyards, and was devoting her life to teaching Physics and Advanced Mathematics to these education-starved people, with merely a few old W. P. I. text books, which she received from an old friend, to go by.

As we took our leave, Margie having managed to sell fifty tickets to the castle guards in the meantime, and Sibyl having borrowed several books which she was clutching under her arm, we were very much impressed with the attainments of our friends, and wondered if our aspirations would lead us as far.

As we tramped the dusty miles home, who should suddenly draw up behind us, and beep the horn of her little maroon convertible but Mary Givan! We gladly hopped into the car, and as we raced over the narrow mountain roads, Mary told us of her work. She was the buyer for a large New York firm, and had recently been in Paris. The back of her car was filled with samples of the latest styles, and she showed us the newly popular, smart, serviceable, gray flannel suit which she had introduced to all the well-dressed American women.

She was going to spend the weekend with Sibyl Irvine and Marjie Winslow, and have a conference to decide on the new fashions for women in the forthcoming year. Marjie Winslow had become the world-famous fashion designer, her latest hit having been a hat copied from the Savoyard Mountaineers that resembled a stocking more than anything else. Sibyl Irvine, besides owning and operating the Congressional Library in Washington, liked to design shoes, and had been very successful in this field, particularly with her everyday shoe

J

of red leather, lined with teddy-bear fur, and trimmed with black.

We took regretful leave of Mary and returned to our hotel. By that time, I had begun to realize to what an extent the Savoyards had become modernized. Conferring with Sibyl, to whom I left all important decisions, and discussing at length all the recent developments that had been made, I finally concluded that now the Savoyard Mountains were no place for archaeological study, and that we might as well depart before Anthea began to realize that we weren't producing sufficient results. So we gloomily got ready to withdraw, bade a tearful good-bye to Margie who was returning to Carol's castle to sell the guards some more tickets, and boarded the train.

Just before we got to the boat at the Paris wharves, we heard a familiar shout, and turning, saw Patsy running toward us. We all had

much to tell, and so we sat down at a sidewalk cafe and had tea. Patsy was full of vim and vigor, and we soon saw that that was very amazing, for besides the wild life of captaining and running her winning basketball team of "Globe Trotters," she had turned to serious study and ponderance, spending much of her time on the left bank of Paris with the scholars, and with infinite and searching thoughts. We really marveled at her condition of perfect mental and physical health.

While spending the evening with Patsy in Paris, watching her team play, we received an urgent cablegram from Anthea ordering us to drop everything and cover a new fossil of prehistoric man in Africa, and so, bidding Patsy a hasty adieu, Sibyl and I were off for the steaming depths of the Congo.

SALLY HORNER, '50

Ode to the Juniors Our shibboleth in letters of blue (They won't know what 'tis) we bestow to The juniors, with a fatherly, motherly, avuncular pat On the roundish pates of the juniors fat.

Hooray for the Seniors, Hurrah!

From Donna to the Upper School For ambitious girls, a worthy "tool" — A ball of yarn in red and blue, A pair of knitting needles, too, To occupy those idle moments.

Judy's saltines with oodles of salt We will store in a grim and burglarproof vault To be taken out at a suitable time And washed and polished (to remove all the grime) And admired by the dear juniors.

A list of books quite thoroughly read Is handed by Anthea, who to juniors has said: "Dear kittens, put your eyes on any one line, And you'll derive the pleasure that was formerly mine, And be exceedingly well read!"

A tin of coffee, nearly caffein free, Is put, by those in contemp'ry hist'ry On a place that will be accessible by Those, who against good judgment try To take history at 8:40.

Mary donates with a woeful look Those lunches —the quantities she took — To the future seniors, a voracious appetite To add to your stamina, strength, and might.

Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow ye graduate.

"A throaty chuckle, bursting with glee, Is left," says Sally Hall,"by me For thosc juniors who, after midyears (And such-like things) incline to tears Instead of joy and gaiety."

Two basketballs, all tattered and torn, A hockey stick, alone and forlorn, We will tie with a pinkish-blue ribbon of gauze And label, "0, revere these, because P. Spaulding used them."

Polly hands over a book of old rules — "How to Keep Order in Various Schools" To the head of the Council in '50-'51.

We hope you'll obey them but have lots of fun.

Thou shalt not misbehave.

One crushed amoeba and two used hydras We will put in a chipped and dirty pink vase Labeled quite clearly, "For those of the class Who like dear bio, and will, if they dass Try to take it (poor souls)."

An egregious mistake has been made by the gals Who refuse to accept the vocab. list of Sal's, For the Scholastic "Ap's," a tremendous aid.

Sal says, "Learn words, and your fortune's made!"

Yea, 'tis a blessing to those who receive it!

Lots of slide rules, grimy and black We will leave in a neat and orderly stack In a tiny spot just loaded with gloom North, northwest in the Senior Room To all who want to take Physics.

For the Fashion Show at the BLUE MOON Fair— Bright red boots, one dazzling pair.

To help adorn those chic ski suits Miss Sibyl Irvine leaves her boots.

The Fair will surely be successful.

Though the book's yet unfinished, to Bancroft 'twill go, Titled, "Problems in Physics; Advice on Bio," For those taking science, to still moans and groans.

The author's that whiz, Miss Patricia Jones.

It's fondly dedicated to Miss Smith.

To be used by commuters, a brightish green bus To make school by 8:30, without any fuss.

Carol, from Holden, thinks it's a pity That girls, in the morning, must rush to the city, So she thoughtfully gives this vehicle.

Petite Marjie Winslow with her small left hand Draws glamorous gals—the best in the land.

All we can hope for the juniors so swell Is that they'll draw like Marjie or nearly as well.

Three cheers for our second Van Rijn.

To the BLUE MOON Board, an ad quite large Is graciously given by Sibyl and Marge— "With compliments of two of your best."

One page is more than you'll get from the rest.

Vive la BLUE MOON Board!

Our shibboleth in letters of blue (They won't know what 'tis) we bestow to— The juniors, with a fatherly, motherly, avuncular pat On the roundish pates of the juniors fat.

Hooray for the Seniors, Hurrah!

MARJORIE RUTH HIATT,'50 SIBYL MATHEWS,'50

After Commencement Pondering, thoughtful, I watch them depart, Classmates, friends, so dear to my heart.

How well I remember their pranks, their feats, Their grim determination to o'ercome defeats.

They file slowly out, — to wider ways, Each anticipating the future days.

Patsy esctatic, Sibyl Irvine sedate, Mary wondering, what be our fate?

Polly and Patty walk side by side, Judy's school-mem'ries filled with pride.

After a pause follows Sally Hall, Then, I hear Donna sadly call, "Wait, I'm coming," to the other Sal Who's gaily singing to uphold the morale.

Anthea — eager for what lies ahead, Marjie, a tear, — no, a smile instead.

Sibyl melancholy, Carol in a daze, As they all pass through this somber haze.

I meditate, I think of this rich, full year, I brush from my eye a furtive tear.

They'll soon depart, this class of mine, — I look once more, turn, follow their line.

Lollypop Lyrics

The Junior Class it had a race, A test to see who's tops In eating all that she could eat Of colored candy lollypops.

"I ate a candy horse," said Ann, "A kitten and a pup, A whale, a cow, an elephant; They surely filled me up."

Judy eyes the lollypops Her chance to find a beau.

Her face lights up as out she draws A licorice Romeo.

"I'm first," said Martha with a grin, "Twenty-one in all Will make me grow an inch or two, I'll soon be six feet tall."

"I just can't seem to eat enough Of Cupids, hearts and doves.

I don't know why," our Franny said, "I guess it must be love."

Then Carol pushes wide the door What is she going to get?

She looks the stock o'er well, and then Comes out with Juliet.

Who of us would believe at all This greediness of Bunny?

Lyn is not content with just Some animals and trees.

Her one request, that she must have A car, complete with keys.

Athletic Sue, she bought some skis For down the mountain strolls, She left the store, but then returned; She'd clean forgot the poles.

"I only ate sixteen, you know," Proclaimed poor little Mal. "I really cannot understand Why I don't feel so well."

Of all the different lollypops Betty liked but one Without delay she stowed away Some earrings made of cinnamon.

Eleanor saw a candy hen And said, "Oh boy! I'll buy it!"

But totaling the calories She sighed, "Oh dear, my diet!"

"I'll keep you company ," said Nan, "My twelve are just enough To make me wish I hadn't eaten All that sickish stuff."

Poor Adrienne could not decide Between a black and red, At last to save herself the pain She chose a green instead.

"I started out," claimed Sally M. "To buy a lemon horn,

"I like the lime," said Janet Ayres, "Of them I've eaten three.

That proves to all, once and for all, To Dartmou th true I'll be."

Next on the list was Janet Mix, Ten lollypops she munches.

"I needed plenty," she explained, "To supplement my lunches."

Yes, every lollypop was gone When the Junior Class got through.

You may think we're a greedy lot, But a sweet and gay one, too.

And who came next, you couldn't guess, It's really rather funny;

But when I finally reached the store Every one was gone."

JUDY "Oh, Jackie dear, see here! see here!"

Everybody wheedles, "It's really dangerous to suck Those candy knitting needles. "

Carolyn, when she reached the store, Must have these things and nothing more: A torch, a ribbon, and a score For gay H. M. S. Pinafore.

Mystery Story -'52 Gather 'round all wise and witty Gather 'round and have some fun Come test your wits without more ado Un-riddle the class of '52.

When I'm old and my memory fogs — I'll remember this lass and her love for dogs.

She's a newcomer, that is true And quite a boost to Bancroft's blue.

A candy bar and can she sing!

Guess her name — it isn't Bing!

Sophomore's gift to the Pinafore leads.

If given the chance, she'll perform great deeds.

You'll say she broke rules big and small, 'Cause her hen laid eggs in Study Hall.

A really grand gal and I'll give you a clue She's superb in sports and one of two.

Driving longest — driving many — Experience teaches better than any.

From this jovial lass, you expect blushing grins Whenever you mention Bobby pins.

From out of town, she ranks among imports, Loves to ride horses, and excels in sports.

She's dramatically inclined — we'll all agree Except when it comes to Drama "B."

Always cheerful — always gay She is happy more than one way.

New addition to Bancroft's grey.

She'll make our team any day.

I cannot tell her name, of course, But Julie is what she calls her horse.

She's very sweet and a distinctive trait Is the letters she writes to New York State.

Of our little artist, we are proud,

You know her name — shout it aloud.

The smallest of doubles in our class A blond, blue-eyed and peppy lass.

A model in the BLUE MOON Fair She's five feet six with light brown hair.

Our class cartoonist we may call her As for baseball bets — she's our head scholar.

Absent when picture was taken:

The class of nineteen fifty-three

As royal secretary she runs the court.

Is really a royal one, as you will see.

At all of the jousting our Josie is seen

Our knight-errant is good Margaret Lane

Attracted to places where the horses are keen.

Whose Scouting and kindness have brought her much fame.

Having become the adviser to kings, On her mind Barbara has numerous things.

On all castle walls there will abound

Anne is known for her travels abroad

Pictures on which Jane's name will be found.

Where she holds court with each noble and lord.

Kate's singing ability is known through the land,

Vicky is always the belle of the ball,

Even the royal family thinks it quite grand.

Surrounded by princes—handsome and tall.

Pronounced all over are Lorna's just rules, Concerning the welfare of kings or of fools.

Midge has formed a chivalrous group Of knights and ladies in a Chevrolet coupe.

Found in the court with all eyes upon her

Nancy is sitting demure in her corner,

Is Judy C. with her wit and honor.

Awaiting the coronet soon to adorn her.

Dukes beg her hand from all around,

Sarah's at home in cottage or castle,

For Helen's sweetness is quite renowned.

Her vim unequalled by lady or vassal.

Carolyn's playing has gathered a score

Peg's ambitions for fame and for power

Of princes and squires, all crying "more."

Have made her a queen in the loftiest tower.

Mary Louise in armor arrayed

Callie is "quick" to know .what is right,

Leads in all sports without any aid.

In councils of state her judgments delight.

Erika's writing has given her fame

Since nothing is said of Ellen's fame,

With chivalrous novels bearing her name.

She must be content with signing her name.

In science there's Laura, splitting an atom,

Our royalty proven, we hereby decree

In dungeons so deep, collecting her datum.

That ours is the best class of 'fifty-three.

Efficiency is Ann K's forte

ELLEN SEAGLE, '53

The Twenty-One of the "Gungadoon" The "Gungadoon" had run aground

And horrified Peggy, hair standing on end,

In the sea where coral reefs abound.

Did gathering coconuts to Laura commend.

And all the passengers, meanwhile,

While to our dismay, on her watery course,

Assembled on a Desert Isle.

We saw Mary-Jo perched on a seahorse.

They tore their hair and raved and roared

And Barbara, amid our curses,

Because the desert they abhorred.

Composed a few poetic verses.

But on the beach beside the ocean

Ann Koreywo rushed about—

Vicki sat applying lotion.

She was a very helpful scout.

The sun upon the sands did sizzle

Priestess Carolyn, on moonlit nights,

Moaned Marilyn, "My hair will frizzle!"

Retired performing sacred rites.

On adventure Sarah did embark

Toward Mary Lou a creature leaped,

But alas! was eaten by a shark.

It was a monkey, which she kept.

And Anne equipped with bow and arrow

Preserving po-pos for to sell,

Brought back a brightly-feathered sparrow.

Kate kept them in an oyster shell.

While Henny searched—before she took it—

Jane drew pictures in the sand,

For a recipe on how to cook it.

While Judy her with palm leaves fanned.

And Margaret, who was always neat,

While Callie Quick a party planned

Offered to go and wash the meat.

For when the rescuers should land.

ERIKA JENTSCH, '53

But Nancy, upset by the tropical flower,

LAURA PINCUS, '53

Longed to be back in her shady rose bower.

Ellen did contemplate the sea, "Now where could the equator be?"

Erika seemed somewhat hurried,

g4eiliotteot

As behind her, a gorilla scurried.

When we from words the meaning thresh While valiant Lorna with a spear In English now and then, Pursued him, never showing fear.

Laura decided to be a pearl diver; Of this dementation we could not deprive her.

We understand why we are "Fresh," But know not why we're "—men."

We thank you for the friendliness Which you have taught us to express, Alma Mater, we sing your praise Our guide in youthful days.

When pupils at Bancroft have summer vacations, The faculty enjoy them too.

So, for the nifty summer of fifty, Here's what we expect them to do.

One teacher remaining at Bancroft Is Mrs. Graham, Donald's wife, To supervise a new stage, that won't crumble with age, Which she's wanted six years of her life.

Miss Smith, our "bio" teacher, so fascinated by plants, Toward the Rockies will take a fast train.

She'll gallop o'er mountains, and under wet fountains, To study the western terrain.

At Middlebury will be our blonde Miss Cross, Increasing here ability "espanol."

When up there go we, this "senorita" to see, She'll be dancing with a handsome "caballero."

Pikie, our favorite gym teacher, Whose diet is having fun, In her new jeep will jaunt, through the state of Vermont, Where she'll go when the school year is done.

Miss Estee, asked if she would fly Across the sea to France, Replied, "Take note, I'm going by boat; On planes I'll take no chance!"

Miss Burckel will summer in England, Producing H. M. S. Pinafore.

Since she's directing with Eben, choruses seven, She'll wonder why she ne'er did it before.

Mr. Wyman will go back to his books At Harvard, to study for his M.A. He'll take along his pipe, and his wife to help type; No doubt he'll be a great physicist some day.

One of our faculty will go into business Manufacturing flashy bow-ties.

He is Mr. Ritt, History II's wit; By the way, they'll come in ay size.

Mrs. Peckham will take the long-desired trip To Stratford-on-Avon, with Mr. P. Interspersing the days with Shakespearean plays, They'll have lots of fun, wait and see.

The Cape will have an ardent campaigner For the Republican party this year.

It's•our own Mrs. Farnum, who really can charm 'em; She'll spur them on, no fear.

Of course, this prophecy may turn out to be wrong, As prophecies generally do.

But one thing we do know—our faculty show That a wonderful summer will ensue.

The Freshmen beat Grade 8, 20 to 18, in the last of the Intramural Games.

11th

Class Three gives its puppet show. As always, very good, it is Doctor Doolittle.

The Blues beat the Greys in the Upper School Basketball Game, 19-4. Ribbons now stand — Greys 6, Blues 8.

18th

Class VIII puts on a thrilling production of A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, adapted from the story

by Mark Twain.

19th

Holiday (Paul Revere, you know).

22nd

Bancroft and Saint Mark's join together for a very nice Glee Club concert.

MAY...

1st

No more uniforms! The deep red glow seen last night was the Senior bonfire.

9th

Something different.

Music Assembly!

A

26th-27th

Three magnificent performances of The Barretts by Marjorie Carleton, starring Thelma Andreson as Elizabeth Barrett, and Donna Cameron as Robert Browning.

30th

Memorial Day — Holiday (To give us time for study, of which we need lots.)

JUNE...

5th-7th

Finals — no more need be said!

7th

The Dramatic Club-Glee Club Picnic. (They hope large quantities of food and games will prepare us for the shock of hearing our marks.)

8th

Upper School special awards and honors in subjects are announced in Study Hall at 9:30, all other awards at the impressive Award Day ceremony in the Gym at 10:00.

9th

Commencement. The day to Which we have looked forward for so long has finally arrived, and for a moment we are reluctant to go. But we couldn't stay if we decided to — the Juniors, or should I say Seniors, are pushing too hard.

STAYS SILENT - LASTS LONGER

Charles F. Jeff Sullivan

Look at both types of refrigerators. One uses motor, machinery, moving parts to make ice and cold. The other—the famous Serve! Gas Refrigerator—operates with a tiny jet of gas flame. Not a single moving part to wear or make noise. So Servel alone stays silent, lasts longer. Come see the new Gas Refrigerators today.
