Athletic News A picnic at Sandy Beach was the first school event of the year. The first Monday after the opening of school being a warm sunny day, we went to Sandy Beach and cooked our frankfurters over the camp fire. A baseball game between the faculty and the students ended with a tie score. The next Monday we again cooked our lunch outdoors. This time we went to Look Park and had a grand time using the swings and wading in the stream until the taxis came to take us back to school.

The athletic season opened on the basketball court in October. After a series of close and hard-fought games, the White Team, with Mary Henderson as their captain, carried off the larger number of points. Their prowess extended to the hockey field where they succeeded in keeping the lead.

Due to the fine weather we were able to play outside until after Thanksgiving. This delay in beginning indoor gym work hurried our preparations for the gym meet in March; but everybody worked hard and although we weren't in as fine trim as we would have wished, we all enjoyed the meet.

The fencing and tap dancing were notes of special interest. A fencing bout between Jane Walker and Helen Sorrentino resulted in a tie. The judges awarded the well-deserved cup to the Green Team who under their captain, Peggy Bell, had done well in all of the events. Some of the individual scores were: Peggy Bell Mariely Baker Constance Hall

31 points 28 points 27i points

Phyllis Gavin Mary Cary Mary Henderson

27 points 27 points 27 points

We had several unexpected opportunities this winter. Right after Christmas vacation a small flood gave us a good skating rink on the hockey field. A six-inch fall of snow did not prevent the skating enthusiasts from shoveling the snow off the rink. This snow fall also provided an excellent opportunity for a sleigh ride. Therefore, one afternoon about four, we all piled into three straw filled sleighs. The horses drew us to the accompaniment of sleigh bells over to Florence and back. There was a great deal of yelling back and forth and singing. The only casualty was a huge chunk of snow which somebody threw landing in Miss Dunham's lap.

We also had the chance to go up to the Smith College pool for ten swimming lessons. Nearly twenty girls went up every Thursday afternoon during February and March and swam for an hour under the instruction of Miss Goss.

The trip to Fairlee right after the mid-year exams was a grand success. Everyone had his fill of skiing and tobogganing. Ski-jiiring was another popular attraction, requiring less work and furnishing more thrills.

One of the most memorable things about our stay there was the food. We all ate and ate and ate, then ate some more.

From spring vacation to May Day we practised the folk dances and the minuet. May Day was one of the busiest and happiest days of the

whole year. Peggy Bell and Emmeline Manganiello played off the finals of the tennis tournament that was started last fall. Peggy Bell was the winner. A father-daughter baseball game after luncheon was enthusiastically played, while the daughters allowed their fathers to lead them by only ten to six in three innings. The May Day pageant given in the honor of our May Queen, June Boegehold, was charming according to the comments of the many interested spectators.

We are practising baseball every afternoon now and a few games have been played between the Green and the White teams but not official ones.

The Athletic Board made up of Mary Cary, President, Connie Hall, Treasurer, Kate Lyman, Secretary and the two team captains Peggy Bell and Mary Henderson have been working all year with Miss Wallis planning the athletic events and getting our posture marks ready. It has been a very busy year for all the girls and profitable in both skill and sportsmanship.

Girl Scouts The school has started a Girl Scout troop which has been meeting every Wednesday evening during supper. Some new girls were made tenderfoot scouts and several girls passed some of their tests for badges. One night after dinner we rolled bandages for the hospital. Edna Mann represented the troop at the dedication of the Scout Cabin at Look Park. Although this troop was started rather late in the year it has accomplished a great deal under the leadership of Miss Stevenson. Many plans are being made for next year, and we all hope the enthusiasm will continue.

The Student Council We feel that the greatest deed of the Student Council this year was the obtaining of the privilege to wear ankle socks down-town. Really though, the Faculty have generously cooperated with the Council to allow us appreciated privileges. The year started off smoothly and happily with Jane Walker as President, June Boegehold as Secretary and Helena Sorrentino as Vice-President. Other members of the Council were Mary Cary, President of the Athletic Association, Peggy Jones, Social Secretary, and Jean Hendrian, Peggy Bell, Selma Levanthal, and Mary Ayer, House Presidents. The second elections took place in December and the following girls were elected. Marion Phillips, President, Janet Wittan, Vice-President, and

Anne Benton, Secretary. In March, the third elections put in Barbara Hitchings, Georgia Richards, and Marion Phillips.

We should realize what a great privilege it is to have a Student Government Association here at school. It is an experience to serve on the Council—an experience that shows us how to be good citizens. It is hard for a group of young girls living in close contact with each other to keep friendly and happy. Certainly a good Student Government organization spreads a feeling of friendliness and cooperation better than any other means. For the happiness of all in the school, we should have good spirit, keep rules, however petty they may seem at the time, and go through the year without fuss and bother. The Student Council hopes that the Student Government will be successful next year, that the Council members will be loyal and helpful, and that all the girls will be cooperative and friendly.

Otherwise the system will fail, the privilege of self-government will be taken away, and the girls will lose something really fine and worth-while.

The Christian Association The elections of the Christian Association took place the third week in October with the following results; president, Helena Sorrentino; Secretary-treasurer, Anne Benton. The first event of the Association was a "Backwards Party" given the first Saturday in November. We all went to dinner with our clothes on backwards, upside-side, and any topsy-turvey way. The chairs were placed at the table backwards and we had a jolly time trying to eat. We then went into the gym where we began our entertainment by singing the school song, followed by games, refreshments and dancing, and finished by welcoming all the guests as they left.

We payed a visit to the "Old Ladies' Home" on November 4th, where we spent a most enjoyable afternoon. After entertaining them with some hymns, poems, piano playing, and solos, we visited the ladies and were shown their rooms.

We had two "golden-rule" dinners during the year. At the first one we had baked beans and apples, and the money we saved on the meal went for the benefit of the "Milk Fund". At the second one we feasted on a delicious stew and had assorted fruit for dessert. The money went to our orphan Harry, whom we voted to continue to support. Each girl pays ten cents weekly and in this way we are able to take care of Harry.

The weeks just preceding Christmas vacation are some of the busiest and happiest weeks of the year. We all bought presents for some poor families and •Miss Whitaker and some of the girls delivered them, with the aid of "Hesperus". A Christmas party was given the last Saturday before vacation for the children whose parents are connected with the school.

THE TERRACE TATLER

The girls were very enthusiastic about the affair and a good time was had by all. After an introductory skit by Bunny and Selma, the children entertained. Christmas poems, songs, the violin, saxaphone, and tap dancing all made it most enjoyable. Such games as "Drop the handkerchief," "Going to Jerusalem," and "London bridge" added to the amusement of all.

After having refreshments the party ended with a visit from Santa Hendrian, alias Santa Claus, who asked the children if they had been good all year, and, seeing their happy expressions and affirmative nods, handed them Christmas packages.

As is the custom, we had an old English banquet at night attended by lords and ladies of the court. Lord Whitaker (who was more gallant than ever) and Lady Bement (still more beautiful and ravishing) sat at the head table, and were entertained by the Jester, the Wassail-Carriers, and a Mummer's play. After the banquet we gathered around the Christmas tree where Santa Walker gave us all a joke present because we had promised to be good.

Some of the girls dressed dolls, which were sent to various poor children. The prize for the best-dressed doll was awarded to Bunny Gavin.

The last event which was undertaken by the Association was a "Lenten Drive," the purpose of which was to secure additional money for Harry.

The girls were very enthusiastic in doing their various jobs, such as, making beds, manicuring, hairdressing, analyzing handwriting, running errands, knitting, selling Eskimo pies, massaging, and selling sandwiches. A prize was awarded to June, Jean, and Jane who earned over $25.00 by selling sandwiches. The drive was very successful as we earned over $100. for Harry.

The Dramatic Club The Dramatic Club has accomplished a great deal this year. In December, boys from Williston Academy were guests at our performance of Edna St. Vincent Millay's "Aria da Capo". After the play, there was a program dance, managed by Marion Phillips, President of the Dramatic Club, and Anne Benton.

The play, under the direction of Miss Carr and Miss Miner, was beautifully done; the costumes were lovely. Bunny Gavin was a charming Columbine; Charlotte Armstrong, a clever Pierrot; and Edna, Janet and Peggy Jones were excellent.

It is a coincidence that Miss Millay gave a reading of her poems in Northampton the night before the presentation of her play. Marion Phillips had written and asked Miss Millay to read a part of "Aria da Capo" at her reading. She did not do this; but, when we went back stage and met her, she graciously read a part for us then. It was quite thrilling.

On May Day, scenes from "A Midsummer Night's Dream" were given outdoors before an audience of 300 spectators. The setting was lovely, with the dark pine trees in back, against which the bright costumes stood out beautifully. The scenes given were the first scene, the Mechanicals' Rehearsal and the Pyramus and Thisbe scene. Especially good were Peggy Jones as Pyramus, Jane Griest as Thisbe, Bunny as Hermia and Mary Henderson as Puck.

May Day For the first time, we have had a "Parents' Day". On May Day, we finished classes at eleven. Then, the parents started to come, arriving in time to see Peggy Bell beat Emmeline in the exciting tennis finals. There were 150 people at the luncheon which was served on the lawn. Almost every girl had at least one parent or some friends and relatives present. After lunch, there was a father-daughter baseball game, which the fathers won.

At 3:30, the May Day festivities began. There was the crowning of the Queen, June Boegehold, followed by folk dances, a play and the minuet.

Then, we were free to go out to dinner with our guests till 10:30.

The day was lots of fun for everyone; the parents were friendly, the girls, thoughtful. We are sure that our parents and our school should get together more often for good times. Anyway, we are proud to have started the custom of "May Day-Parents' Day"; and we hope it will continue.

One Spring Through bluet fields the cattle pass, Leaving the violets in the grass Inviolate and all alone Except for apple blossoms white as foam.

Grey horses plow a copper field, To make its russet treasure yield A barley crop or golden corn, For later colts or calves new-born.

The ploughboy whistles like the lark, Hailing the spring from dawn to dark.

The horses like his merry tune, Recalling clover dells in June.

Along the river lies cowslip gold, As if heaven's floor had grown too old, And cracking near the weakened edges Had dropped bright pieces on Earth's sedges.

THE TERRACE TATLER

I Hate If you wish to invigorate your soul, ignite your spirits, stimulate your heart, banish your apathy, and enjoy a relapse in general, just let yourself be inveigled by a well-meaning friend into membership in a tap-dancing class. There is no doubt that for some girls tap-dancing is possessed of many health-giving qualities, for I could name many numerous, robust girls who can be seen bounding up from class with blooming and somewhat reddened countenances. It is an extremely innocent sport which, however, has created horrors in my imaginative mind.

I maintain, however, that tap-dancing is unsuspectedly dangerous.

Think of all the girls who have lost their hard-earned dignity while trying to make a heel follow a heel and a toe follow a toe. And all those who, while endeavoring to keep the various routines straight in their minds, have lost the memory of other more important facts such as the date of the Federal Reserve Act, or Darwin's Theory of Evolution. The dancer's self-consciousness is furthered by the agonies of tap-dancing and soon develops into a monstrosity. This menacing result makes you aware of your teammates, their amused glances, their rising snickers while you struggle in the middle of the floor to master the black art of tap-dancing with the instructor's aid. Certain intricate and admirable dance steps of your own are prohibited on the ground that there is no evidence of their harmony with the prescribed music. The flower of your originality is blasted, and disillusionment overpowers you. You wonder disconsolately how geniuses ever become geniuses without any freedom of action.

Tap-dancing brings forth all your bad traits, all those sneaky, snakey instincts inherited from the bad side of your family which hitherto have been well hidden, or shall I say, well-disguised. You find yourself evading your instructor, and when orders are given to do a certain puzzling step in groups of four you discover that without actually calculating to achieve impromenence somehow you have slipped through everybody and reached the back row. Since your best friends are there also, evidently they have bad sides or streaks in their families.

The irony of it all, is that I have a very strong hunch that I shall marry a man who will turn out to be a tap-dancer and my life will be a continuous nightmare of dancing to sleep small infants through the cold night hours—infants who will tap-dance before they walk and who will never want ordinary toys but always clamor for weighted shoes and weird costumes.

THE TERRACE TATLER

To "Pooh" One of the School's Most Familiar Landmarks It was about eleven o'clock on a bright, sunny day in the middle of the week. In the King's yard was a little dog, species unknown. Although Miss Drummond claims him to be a fox terrier, we have our doubts. He is very small, almost a midget, with a long, fluffy tail more common to a Spitz than to a fox terrier, and displays a few brown spots on his back.

With a start Pooh, for such is his name, jumped up and began sniffing the air. "Something tells me," said he, "that it must be about time for recess at that school next door. I hope I'll get some cookies today," he continued as he trotted to the gate to sit patiently in front of Scott. "Sometimes they're all eaten up before anyone thinks of me or before people from the other houses arrive. And they say they're dieting-1" Pooh stepped back, a little disconcerted at the mad rush from Hathaway with everyone running over as if she were half-starved. Soon the victrola started and strains of "Drop Me Off At Harlem", and "She's a Latin From Manhattan" were heard issuing from the recess room. Pooh in wonderment couldn't imagine what enjoyment there was in shuffling over the floor with heads together. "Seems like a romantic pose," thought Pooh, "but I should think they'd get all mixed up with those complicated steps." Sounds of a scramble were heard inside and a small voice plaintively asked to be allowed to play "Hold My Hand." An argument ensued but "Hold My Hand" was played only to be snatched off when the piece was half finished. Groups straggled out paying no attention whatsoever to Pooh but talking about "Bob", "Johnnie", "Will", etc.—Pooh took in all the remarks and at last said,"Hm-m,that sounds pretty serious to me. I hope she gets a letter from him soon so that everything will be fixed up." One girl went raging past saying she wasn't "going to any camp that summer," no matter what her family said.

Another thing that amuses Pooh is our dieting. "They talk about dieting," he said,"and arrive late for recess on the surmisal that no cookies will be left (knowing full well there will be a few) and trying unobtrusively and nonchantly to eat some. But they always neglect me."

Poor neglected Pooh is finally remembered—by the girls? No, by a kind-hearted teacher at whose command he gracefully sits on his hind legs and earns his reward. At eleven o'clock Pooh returns home not at all pleased with the hospitality he has received.

We bequeath to Pooh, as a reward for his patience, a luncheon of cookies and a bowl of milk to be served at quarter of eleven every day in order that his hopes in us may not be altogether shattered.

Superstitions Belief in the supernatural and reverence for it or for objects which are not worthy of worship is common. We are all familiar with the superstition of walking under a ladder, or that of having a black cat cross our path.

We, who are the products of generations of scientific research claim we are not superstitious. However, I believe nine-tenths of us have at least one pet superstition.

At least nine-tenths of the students of the Northampton School for Girls cherish some false worship. If you, gentle reader, should ever be invited to dine at the above mentioned school, accept the invitation by all means.

It is a most pleasant dining room over-looking the Mt. Tom range, wide expanses of cultivated fields and beautiful shrubbery, gardens, and trees.

Your view may suddenly be obstructed by a square of butter which has been flipped, the flipper praying for a letter from her best beau. Then a discussion may ensue about passing the salt before the pepper, or the pepper before the salt (I know not which), which is supposedly disastrous and punishable by severe reprimand. You begin to become aware of the existing superstitions about you. Bits of conversations reach you concerning plans "to eat oranges under the bed". Your curiosity may get the best of you and you may be forced to inquire further into the question. You soon learn that college boards are approaching, and success is practically guaranteed if you eat an orange under a bed before taking the exams. You are thus consoled for the time being. Should a quiet moment elapse, out come the watches and mid girlish giggles, "It's twenty-past." Yeu eat to the tune of "Name my corners!" "Here are my initials!" "Oh, you made it come out right!"

Should there be a decorative cherry on a mould of snowy white whipped cream, wishes and questions answerable by "yes" dance through the students heads. Now, as graduation is drawing near, the girls are praying for Johnnie and Charlie and Dick and Bill to be able to come. Then to complete the magic of the cherry, out walks the students backward from the dining room. What a picture to see!

If you are not posted on the prep. school superstitions, I must confess a sort of cloud, or haze of bewilderment envelopes you. But sad to say, you too probably will go home and flip your butter and name the corners of your pie.

The Senior Will We, the proud members of the Senior Class Eleven, are reluctant about giving away any of our prized possessions. However, we must keep up the tradition and hand down our most admirable qualities and most loved possessions to the "younger girls" who will fill the ranks of the haggard seniors —they hope.

Mariely Baker wills her shiny new car to Miss Dunham.

Anne Benton wills her sensitive poetic appreciation to Miss Carr.

June regretfully gives her boisterousness to Prudence.

Cary anxiously leaves her "ability" to argue reasonably to Bunny.

Connie generously presents her posters to Miss Miner.

Kate hopefully wills her talking ability to garroulous Vera Edgecomb.

Emmeline wills her "pertness" to Charlotte Armstrong.

Marion "Filips", being eager to get rid of certain reputations, wills away three possessions—, her sweet disposition to Fran, her athletic ability to Peg Bell, and her closet (with its i:.gredients) to Connie Logan.

Helena sadly gives up her lovely singing voice to Greist.

Walker wills her beloved "Rachael" to Ruthie Reynolds.

Janet wills her insatiable curiosity to Hendrian "just in case" Jean's own should ever give out.

Correct:—"She gathered up her garments and bound them with a cord."

Aladdin Outdone!

Remember the wonderment when you read the tales of Aladdin and his wonderful lamp? Those were but fairy tales—his lamp a myth.

But—the relief to weary, tired eyes afforded by properly fitted glasses is such a revelation that it makes you think that the acts even of Aladdin might have been possible.

We use no magic lamp, only modern, scientific equipment which works the wonders of magic—and tells the truth about you eyes.
