Dear Family:--
There really isn’t a bit of news to tell you that is the least bit interesting. Dr. is rather all excited calm before the rush & roar of first Hall Play!
Monday afternoon Mary C. D. looked in with Miss Taylor & said goodbye to Janette. I was awfully sorry to have her go because I didn’t see her half as much as I wanted to. That night I went to dinner with a Senior in Main, & had the best dance in J. It wasn’t as crowded as usual & we had a grand time.
Tuesday afternoon Helen Brown had a tea over in Rawdon cottage which was lots of fun; being off campus they could have candles, which of course we aren’t allowed to have. Then I went to dinner in Main with Katherine Taylor, 1910. She is Secretary of Students & is a perfect dear, & has two of the funniest room-mates. They giggled the whole time. Yesterday, for a change I pounded and rained, but nevertheless I walked over to Ralhop to dinner with Cora Edgcomb—1909’s President. And we were rewarded by having “no chapel.” 1907 is beginning to collect, and Katherine Worcester & Polly Tucker came back last night. Miss Worcester said they had seen Carol on their way through Phila. & spoke of knowing them. Lovely saw her for a minute, as I thought such rumours were “no place for Freshmen!”
Please thank Beulah Rice & Helen for their nice letters.
Saturday was “Founders’ Day,” & much goodness appeared uncracked. My family teacher of last year would have a spell if she knew I had “good” on one of my papers! So far we have had very few originals, so that is the cause.
I must stop now. I am in danger of burning out 2:40 p.m. tomorrow!
Lots of love
from
Marjorie
