Lost- -the Faculty frown. Found—a fact. The Faculty of S.T.C. isn't all English. Preach and math after all. Did you see Sing Saturday night? If so. "nough said, but just In case you didn't. here goes! The Faculty had charge and amid applause and uproarous laughter they threw aside the "teacher's frown" and entered ly into the process of presenting a family album. It was a novel idea, novelly developed. A p ep into the past and bang! what hits us? Mrs. Watkins—the athlete ol the gay nineties. Shh-h just between you and me and the printing press she was in an awful tickle but let's go on. The Misses London were indeed fragile and delicate ladies of antiquity. What was Miss Puidom. did you say? A scream if you ask me—so coy so sweet, so just so she played her part to prrfection. What you wanted to fee tho' was Mr. Coyner—No, I won't tell on him but his own mother wouldn't have known him—cherubic. I .should smile, to the nth degree. Miss Nichols—silent for once— was quite a charm sw.etly arrayed in the decorous dress of the times. There were others as good but by now you know what you missed if you wamnt there and—well, anyhow you'll know where to be next time the faculty presents Sing.

Church bells chime appealingly. Within S.T.C. there is a mad scramble for hats, gloves, bags. The Sunday morning display is on. Voices—sleepy voices—resound up the halls. "Where's my white scarf?" "Do my shoes need polishing?" "Say, have you still got my gloves?" "Will you please hurry?" "Oh, I'm coming: don't be so impatient!" Doors bang. The rush of water in tubs for hurried baths makes clatter—making up for the lack of the usual singing. A few sleepy heads poke out of rooms that have been undisturbed and demand the time of passing "scurriers". They disappear again and soon return to join the rushing mob. Doors begin to open and girls appear in their gala rigs. Their heels click down the balls. Slower ones have to practically run. Finally they are all out and on their way. Some are in gay, flowered frocks with big hats. Others are young and unsophisticated in pure white. All kinds of girls mince down the side-walks. Their voices are reserved—their heads held high, and their bearings dignified. Every curl is just in place. Saucy hats repose carefully on newly-waved heads. Blues, browns, yellows, grays, reds—they are all represented in the colorful array! Fluffy ruffles, mannish shirts. perky bows, bright bouquets! The last church bells peal out. The brightening femininity vanishes into churches. As the last one disappear, the world is left somehow lacking, for it is a beautiful sight indeed, when S.T.C. goes to church on a spring morning!
