THE WATER CARNIVAL ellow, green, and rose lights flashed over the shimmering water as the fairy folk dived and swam in a forest pool to the strains of soft music, for the swimming pool was transformed into fairyland for the second annual water carnival, Once Upon A Time. The theme centered around two children from the Real World, who, wandering away one night, came upon a pool in the forest. Two delicate water lilies lured them to the throne of the fairy queen, who invited them to watch the exhibition given by the fairies in honor of Alay. The delighted children assented, and looked on in wonder as the fairies performed for their queen. They swam up and down in long lines, two by two, formed stars, pinwheels, and fountains, soared high in the air in a series of graceful and beautiful dives, and raced back and forth in a spirited relay. The closing feature of the exhibition was the formation of a large T by the Senior Terrapins, carrying lighted candles and swimming slowly down the center of the pool. The children looked crestfallen as the last twinkling candle went out, but they were soon consoled by fairy pearls, their parting gift from the queen. The water carnival, given annually by the Terrapin Club, furnishes an opportunity for swimmers to display the skill attained in their hours in the pool during the year, and brings their year of activity to a happy close.

HORSEBACK RIDING When first the group heard the words, Now, everybody, trot how they shuddered It seemed a thing never to be accomplished. But at the end of the year, how they laugh Trot? Why, it's easy, once learned. Riding is a pleasure now, especially on the Lincoln Park bridle path these fine spring days. Trotting, cantering, and walking for two hours is a pleasant way to healthful exercise. In spite of some minor accidents more frightening than harmful, the confidence of the riders has grown enormously, until now even a stumbling or shying horse fails to terrorize anyone. Such is the faith inspired by the knowledge of how to handle a horse expertly. Under the leadership of Mary Moore, the manager, her assistant, Alary McCabe, and the instructors provided by the Parkway Riding Academy, the group has advanced from timid riding around in a circle inside the arena to fast trotting on the bridle path. Some even are wondering about jumping technique, although no one of this year's beginning class has experienced the thrill of going over a four-foot hurdle. Some, nevertheless, have acquired that fine disregard for the eccentricities of a horse needed for playing tag. All now realize the complexities of a horse and know the difference between a rein and a stirrup. Each student, too, has discovered her favorite mount, and woe to the one who takes advantage of a day's absence to alienate its affections Page 101 m m? 0 r hjm m :': X
