This week after Thanksgiving re-
ooss has been a busy one, filled, not
so much with academic work because
we had a grand scramble before the
holidays getting our note books in,
but with outside affairs.
Last year we had semi-monthly
revspaper which we have abolished,
not being a necessity on our small
campus. This year the staff has been
working on another plan. We are to
have a monthly magazine, which we
hone will be reflection of the liter
srv ability of the Women's College.
The name we chose from the many
handed in was the "Blue Kettle"
Don't YOU like that? Poor Margaret
Moffatt, the editor, is working like
mad over the first copy which goes
to press this week.
She isn't the only person tearing
her hair in a mad effort to get a
thing done; Mabel Tebo, head of
Dramatics, is another. We have the
first plays of the year ready to be
coached. They are to be given by the
Dramatic Clubs of the University
sometime in January at Wolf Hall,
and promise to be even better than
those we did last year. One of them,
"The Rose" is lovely one-act play,
fanciful court scene with only three
people to make it, Sir John Some
body, Lady and a Page. You must
be here if possible. Yes, l may help
draw the curtains that night.

gotten down to real work, and this

have it so good is because we had
