Dear Family-
We can’t quite tell whether it’s winter or spring today, for first it snows, and then it clears up and is warm - at present it’s trying to do both.
Friday night the Cast gav the Committee a party in the Gym., and we were all to come as some one of the number (assigned us) in a red [carnation]. My invitation had:
“On next Friday night, when the Lodge
Clock points eight
Seek the gym., ye of Third Hall Play.
In the form in which Helen was
seen incarnate
On some very much earlier day!”

I took off Helen [Corydon] - and she did me as Friar Tuck! Underneath the crest on the invitations was “Not a Family, A Lunatic Asylum!!” We played silly games like “Still Pond” and sang and whooped to our hearts content, for nobody could us. (?)
This [noon] [Spide] White grabbed me after chapel, and carried me home to dinner with her [unreadable], for which I was much pleased. And while I was there, Katherine Vaughn invited me to supper tonight so I am living in North! The music tonight promises to be lovely - selections from the “Elijah.”
Tomorrow night a committee of our class, composed of Dorothea Gay, Rene Brown and me, goes to confer with the Miscellany Board

about three editors from our class for next year - and we are that proud and excited!
Nothing else particular is to happen, except that I expect to have a birthday party next Friday or Saturday!! I’m going to have a Baby Party, and blow bubbles, etc. I hope it’ll be fun.
My love to everybody, Tell Jean I’ll send Elise’s pictures right along to her (Jean) and tell her she’s made an awful hit on V.C. [Vassar College] at large and small.
Most Lovingly
Marjorie
