Home of virtue, faith and knowledge,

Love and praise we bring to thee.
May our hearts be ever loyal,

And beat true to A. S. C.
Greetings to the winsome violet,

Cherished flower, our heart's delight;
Hail to the royal banner

Of the purple and the white.

May the white be ever stainless,
And the purple ever bright;

Hail to the royal banner
Of the purple and the white.

'Mid the cotton fields of Georgia,

Where the flowers bloom fair and sweet.
And the soft and gentle breezes

Bend low the golden wheat.
Let us blend in loving chorus.

Voices ringing with delight.
Praise the banner floating o'er us;

The purple and the white.

May the white be ever stainless.
And the purple ever bright.

Praise the banner floating o'er us;
The purple and the white.

Shrined in our memories always,

'Mid the toils and cares of life;
Beacon light to guide our footsteps.

Is our banner in the strife.
And we gain from colors glorious

Inspiration in the fight;
For we'll ever be victorious

'Neath the purple and the white.

May the white be ever stainless,
And the purple ever bright.

For we'll ever be victorious,

'Neath the purple and the white.

Our fond recollection of past college days,

Viva la memory!
Turn to our teachers and all their queer ways,

Viva la charity!
They taught us aright, though they taught us some wrong
We wish to embalm them in this little song.
But as we can't take all, we will not take long;

So viva la brevity!

To Dr. Gaines drink we with loud ringing cheers.

Viva la our " D. G."!
Grape juice is our toast, no intoxicants here

Viva sobriety!
He won't let us dance, but he wants us to walk,
He won't let us drive, horse might kick or balk.
Of college ideals he will evermore talk;

Viva propriety!

Dean Hopkins is mistress of one and of all,

Viva authority!
She doesn't wish talking aloud in the hall.

Viva la courtesy!
Uneasy, they say, lies the head with the crown.
But it's we who're uneasy, if ever she frown;
"O girls, do not sit there upon the damp ground;

Get up immediately!"

Miss Mary has on her stern face a dark frown.

Viva infirmary!
Just open your mouth and they'll slip right on down.

Viva la "pillory!"
Viva la powder, and viva la pills.
Viva each dose that would lessen our ills,
Whether it cures you or whether it kills

Viva la remedy!

Here's to the music that soothes all our fears.

Viva la melody!
It's soft on our souls, but its hard on our ears.

Viva la harmony!
Here's to Dramatics, Miss Cady and all.
Here's to Athletics, Miss Ross, Basketball.
She'll teach us to win, or else gracefully fall.

Viva hilarity!

13

Miss Anna is standing beside the blackboard,

O, trigonometry!
With all mathematics her head is well stored,

Viva geometry!
A halo should crown her kind patience each day,
Miss Anna has 'most sighed her poor life away
" O girls, can't you see this? The thing that will pay

Is reason not memory!"

Now Dr. Arbuckle's tongue always will wag.

Viva geology!
To hear him sometimes you might think of a jag.

Viva la chemistry!
The jokes that he tells are an evermore sight.
And sometimes one really should not listen quite,
He talks, as we know, with a feverish might.

Viva loquacity!

Miss Sniith came a-riding down into the South,

Viva la "Ph.D."
"Bennett" she said, "is the name of my horse,"

Viva la "amo te"!
She paused in dismounting to pick up an arrow.
It lodged in the heart of poor little Miss Darrow,
And there is a crush now, for love didn't spare her.

Viva sentimentality!

Dr. Armistead is very pleasant and gay.

Viva la gallantry!
His intentions are kindly in every way.

Viva la chivalry!
He's nice-looking and has a dramatic pose,
But why will he flirt? Oh, well, nobodj' knows!
Because he has nothing to do, I suppose,

Viva J. D. M. A.!

Here's to Mrs. Mays and our breakfast each morn.

Viva la hominy!
And dinner is not a thing to put to scorn.

Viva dear old Billy!
To everything placed on the table we sing.
To chicken, its drumsticks, and wishbone and wing.
And when we have ice-cream, our hearts loudly sing.

Viva the dinner Sundee!

We pledge to them all in a full brimming glass.

Viva la faculty!
And wish we had room for them all as we pass.

Viva la company!
Each one did his best to help us do the right
And make our lives worthy the purple and white.
We thank them with love they're all out of sight,

Vive la A. S. C!

Four years ago there left the town
of Chattanooga, one Margaret McCallie
by name; not unHke other maidens
of her kind, a timid and shrinking
Freshman. It is said that she even
felt an unholy delight in breaking
rules. But presto change! Four
years later finds her ruling her abject
subjects with the rod of restrictions,
showing no mercy to offenders. Dr.
Gaines willingly offers recommenda-
tions to any one wishing a keeper for
a State Penitentiary, Orphan Asylum,
or Young Ladies' Seminary.

17

Margaret E. McCallie, B.A., P.L.S.
Chattanooga, Tennessee

Mec Y. McIntyre, B.A., B.D., M.L.S
Atlanta, Georgia.

/^.^<>.

Miss Maclntire.who proudly traces
her ancestry through Grandpa Colum-
bus back to Adam, is the Senior who
pays to Dame Fashion most devoted
homage. So much time is required to
train her hair through the stages of
pompadour, Psyche knot and bangs,
that there is little time to devote to
the rest of her course. In her specialty,
however she has done nobly, as may
be seen from the accompanying illus-
tration.

Louise E. Davidson, B.A., C.C, P.L.S.
Jacksonville, Florida. ,

Louise Elizabeth Davidson, fa-
miliarly known as "Tom," has de-
voted the several years of her stay
to the pursuit of three things : Academy
crushes, athletics, and corpulence. It
is not often that those with such
varied aims succeed, yet so excep-
tional is she that she has attained the
highest honors in each, and it is not
unnatural that we find her shall we
say conceited? Not that, of course,
but rather impressed with the impor-
tance of the "ego."

19

Grace Adelaide Nelson, B.A., M.L.S.
Atlanta, Georgia.

Many years ago so long ago it
was that only tradition tells us when
Adelaide Nelson came to Agnes Scott,
fired by a noble aim to get everything
that could be gotten out of her college
course. Acting on this inspiration,
she set out in quest of offices, never
ceasing, never tiring, but alwaj'^s
aspiring to attain some new office to
add to her store. Many is the time
when one less zealous would have be-
come weary of the chase, but not our
Adelaide. Thus unselfishly placing
the public good first and banishing all
thoughts of self, she stands, a monu-
ment of self-effacement and a martyr
to the public good.

20

Adalene Dortch, B.yV., P.L.S.
Gadsden, Alabama.

Every class must have a night
owl and Adelene Dortch creditably
fills this office in the Class of 1909.
Her regular hour for retiring is 2:30
a.m., and of rising 4 a.m. Having
thus beautifully arranged her hours
of labor, from 10 p.m. to 2.30 a.m.
and from 4 a.m. to 8 a.m., her days
are entirely full for basketball, tennis,
Jaxon's and the other necessaries of
college life. She has a lofty altitude
of five feet and enjoys the distinction
of being the smallest wearer of the cap
and gown. Her chief claim to fame
is her good nature, for she holds the
remarkable record of having served
on refreshment committees nine
thousand nine hundred and ninety
nine times and of having never killed
anvone.

21

Irene Newton, B.A. P.L.S.
Gabbettville, Georgia.

In a class where studiosity is the
rule and frivolity the exception, Irene
Newton stands as the representative
of the superlative degree. From the
beginning, she has counted learning
the aim of hfe and right nobly has she
striven to attain. She accounted the
day lost that had not at least fifteen
hours devoted to study, and as a
reward for such zeal we find her
marks ranging from A + to A + + +

Mattie Newton, B.A., P.L.S.
Gabbettville, Georgia.

Sweet Mattie, thou art such a
pensive, unassuming maid. I fear
thou dreamest of love dost thou?
Beware, my child, thou art a Senior
and shouldst by now have filled thy
brain with stabler things physics
and such like. Put from thee all
foolish thought of love, now thou art
young; time will come soon enough
when thou canst think of these.

Annie Waddell, B.A., C.C, P.L.S.
Marrietta, Georgia.

Now, how can I knock on Anne?
"She ain't never done nothing to
nobody." She leams all her lessons,
she eats all her meals. She comes to
chapel, she says her prayers she
sleeps when it's proper, she studies
when it's time. She ain't never done
nothing. Now, how can I knock on
Anne?

i

Ruth Marion, B.A., C.C, P.L.S.
Cornelia, Georgia.

The least fault about this young
damsel is her brilliancy or was a
little learning ever considered a
fault? Dear friend, do not be de-
ceived by her sweet glance and
shy look she's no lamb. Her tongue
is the sharpest in the class even
Eugenia cannot compare with her
and she is sure to use it on you if you
offend. I advise you not to meet her.

Eugenia Fuller, B.A., B.D., M.L.S.
Ocala, Florida.

None would think to look upon the
angelic countenauce of Miss "Pessie"
Fuller, that she were capable of
hurling the poisoned darts of sarcasm,
and yet such is the sad case. Woe
unto you, ye Freshmen, and woe
unto you, ye Acad's, if in an un-
guarded moment ye incur the wrath
of this maiden ; for she will give you a
never-to-be-forgotten lesson in keep-
ing your place. This faculty of using
words as weapons is probably due to
her musical tendencies. Our pro-
phetic soul descries her in the dim
distant future, dispensing music and
sarcasm impartially to a helpless
audience.

LuTiE Pope Head. B.A.,B.D., M.L.S.
Macon, Georgia.

There was a young senior named Lute,
Who thought she was exceedingly cute,

She delighted to wiggle,

To laugh and to giggle
Till people all wished she was mute.

27

Vera Holley, B.A., P.L.S.
Fort Gaines, Georgia.

There is a young lady named Holley,
Who is exceedingly fat and jolly;

As she goes down the hall

She resembles a ball.
Or perhaps a big rag dolly.

Senior Class f^istorp

Long, long ago, in the Prehistoric Ages of our beloved Alma Mater, so long that
even Miss Cook can scarcely remember, there came to Agnes Scott, in pigtails and short
dresses, a maid named Adelaide Nelson. Boldly she started out on her journey,
through the intricate windings of a school career; spurred on by the faculty, she toiled
faithfully. Next year, others set out on this perilous journey, beset with many pit-
falls and snares, hand in hand , treading bravely the false path of teachers' favor. One
by one numbers were added to these toiling travelers until in the year 1 904-1 905, we
had so far advanced both in numbers and intelligence that, as Freshmen, with indomit-
able courage and daring we set out on our glorious career, amazing and charming the
faculty, bringing glory to ourselves, and edification to the whole college world. A
glorious career, indeed! Where in all the annals of Agnes Scott history can you find
one so great? Though, from the very beginning, we were a class of unusual force and
ability, still our Freshman year was mainly one of toil and struggle. Wearily but with
undaunted hearts we crossed the slough of Freshman English under Miss McKinney,
and climbed the Hill of Geometry urged on by Miss Young. Only a few wandering
from the straight way into the treacherous by-paths, whose signposts were marked
with a red "F." Through suffering and knowledge, a wiser and sadder class, we rose
to the height of Sophomore superiority. Here our inate originality burst forth to
dazzle the faculty and to shame the Freshmen. Their defeat was overwhelming, as
our victory was triumphant. A year long to be remembered for its fun, excitement
and last, but not least, its hard work. For did not the faculty seek to place a stumb-
ling block in our victorious paths by the snares of Trigonometry? But we were
not caught therein and still victoriously we pursued our onward journey.

So serenely smiling we reached the third stage, namely our Junior year, where, our
journey half-wav over, we hopefully gazed into the future. But our serenity was
rudely shaken by the shocks of Chemistry explosions and the discovery of a sub-
conscious mind. But nothing daunted our stalwart hearts, and even through such
perils as these we boldly marched. Suddenly a gleam of inspiration came to us.
Result the Junior Circus, the like of which Agnes Scott had never seen before.

And now at last, we are Seniors, the desire of our hearts has been reached and the
ever longed for Senior year has come. Here acquiring some of the dignit}' reputed to
all who have climbed to the heights of Seniority, shaking off the pranks of b3^gone days
and taking on qualities worthy of the faculty themselves, we leave indeed the model
class of A. S. C.

29

Senior Ia^^ |^oem

(With apologies to Browning)

O, to be a Freshman, now that Senior's here,

For whoever sees a Freshman, sees a being unaware;

That never has a thing to do;

That never thought of being bkie;

Scarce study, books, and never frown.

Only town!

And after Fresh., when Soph'more follows,

Its good to feel just like the swallows!

Hush, we climbed the tank, and had a circus

And all know how we beat the 'lo's in hazing.

They didn't stand a chance in any fracas,

We beat them fair and sent them out a-grazing.

As Juniors, too, we led a merry time.

But nothing like the Fresh and Soph'more years.

And now '09 is here, a sad old rhyme

Of study, "dig," exams, and briny tears;

Alas! All fun is gone, and in its place.

Is dignity, a long black gown and longer face.

a Calleti Jtteeting of Jfaculrj) in 1915

Faculty in session. Dr. Gaines, from his throne, raps attention. Professor
Smith, after much fidgeting, settles down, and all are silent, except Dr. Arbuckle, who
continues to converse with himself. Dr. Gaines, glowering over his spectacles, addresses
the dear company at hand :

Dear Faculty of Agnes Scott College, in Decatur, Georgia (all the "Fac." look much
flattered), we have an extremely interesting and important meeting awaiting our
attention. I have summoned ^j-ou to convene with me at this unusual time to bring
before your notice, first, certain important data concerning the class of 1909 ; secondly,
to invite and ascertain your coniments thereupon. Doubtless, all of you remember
that noble Class of 1909, that class which has so indelibly impressed itself upon your
memories and hearts. Seldom has it been my pleasure and privilege, so long as I
have been President of this great and noble institution of learning, to come in close
and intimate contact with young women of such originalit}^ and strength of character.
Sweet Faculty "(Fac. " unanimously blush. Miss Cady does her best.), these thirteen
young ladies, joys of their parents, sunbeams to their friends, have embarked upon
the sea of life and are directing their voyages in many a varied channel. (Miss McKin-
ney mumbles "mixed inetaphor.") One of this illustrious class, with great diligence
and care, has collected all newspaper and magazine articles that in anyway touch upon
her fellow classmates. You will be interested to hear the results of her labors. I
m5^self as yet am ignorant of the contents. With you I look forward to reading them.
The first clipping I have here is from the Literary Digest :

Miss Irene Xewton, of Gabbettville, Georgia, is engaged in a most scholarly work and one that
will be of greatest service to future generations that of committing to memory the Encyclopedia
Britannica. This unique specimen of mentality is contemplating beginning on the Century Dic-
tionary by next June.

Dr. Gaines (beaming on the assembh^) Here is one who is a credit to her class.

Miss. Young (sighs sweetly) She almost reminds me of Sir Isaac.

Dr. Gaines Oh, here is one from whom we have every right to expect great things.

"Miss Margaret McCallie," so says the London I'imes, "has quite stirred London on account
of her wonderful ability as a mimic. Not since the good old days of King Arthur have we enjoj'ed
such innocent and delightful amusement as is afforded by her great talent. Already Miss McCallie
has spoken several times before His Majesty, and it is rumored that she is to be retained at the Court."

"Ha, she shall never speak in my Chapel," roars Dr. Gaines.
Miss Trebein (timidly) I am disappointed in ^Margaret.

31

Miss Smith Not I, why I have heard that while at school she even mocked the
teachers. (General chorus from the "Fac." "Let us hear from Eugenia she will not
disappoint us.")

Dr. Gaines This is no lengthy article, a mere statement of the fact that Miss
Eugenia Fuller is a Christian Science Reader in Boston She is even said to be a rein-
carnation of Mary Baker Eddy.

Miss Hopkins (hands up in horror) Is it possib'e!

Mr. Armstrong And that young lady five years in a Presbyterian Institution! ,

Dr. Gaines Quite a notice here of Miss Adelene Dortch.

The medical journals of the day are filled with talk of Miss Dortch's wonderful discovery
" Sleep- no-talli." This medicine is a very simple compound, and when taken, secures one against
the necessity of any sleep whatever weariness becomes an unknown quantity, and one is con-
stantly spurred to the highest forms of energy and activity. Unlike most prominent discoverers,
Miss Dortch is not above peddling her own medicine, and on account of her wonderfully fluent
speech, she seldom fails to sell great quantities of it.

Dr. Gaines I must investigate this no beds at Agnes Scott w'ould be a great
saving of expense.

Dr. Arbuckle I always said

Dr. Gaines (interrupting) We will take Miss Adelaide next.

Great consternation in Rome. The Pope, it is reported, is nigh unto death, and the College
of Cardinals fear that Miss Adelaide Nelson, Grand High Retainer of the Purse Strings, will dare
to usurp even the Papal Throne Since her conversion, she has been a most zealous Catholic.
The Pope has bestowed on her all surplus offices, and it is authoritatively asserted that she is high
in his favor.

Chorus As ^^'e all thought !

Dr. Gaines What is this, an advertisement?

WANTED-
nished.

-Position as s'gn painter and designer of theatrical bill boards. References fur-
Signed, A. AVaddell.

Miss Lewis I suppose she will ask 7ne for a recommendation. Outrageous!
She will not get it.

Dr. Gaines Listen, Beloved Faculty, Mattie Newton died of a broken heart,
caused by unrequited aft'ection.

With one accord the "Fac." express regrets. (Miss Young thinksit was a noble
cause.)

Dr. Gaines Here is a more fortunate case:

Miss Mec Mclntyre, now the Countess Povertini, has recently built a beautiful villa in northern
Italy. The Countess is very fond of society, and the winter is sure to be a gay one.

Miss Colton (to herself) O, would that I were Mec !

Dr. Gaines I find here no public mention of Miss Vera, but I have heard that she
is most happily married, and has a charming mountain home.

32

l%-

A^

Dr. Annistead Now I am fond of a home, but how can I marry on such a small
salary ?

Miss McKinney Hush, you get more than I do now!
Dr. Gaines Truly a sad case, a sad case!

The many friends of Miss Ruth Marion will be grieved to learn that she has entirely lost her
mind. Her father thinks it due to the fact that she got an A.B. at Agnes Scott. Much learning
drove her mad.

Classification Committee It can not be that we require too much of students.
Dr. Gaines By the way, someone told me that Miss Louise Davidson had married
a trifling fellow. The)^ even say she smokes cigarettes and is addicted to slang.
Miss McKinney What! after all m}^ work on Louise?
Dr. Gaines Ah! here is the last let us hope it is better than the others:

"Miss Lutie Head," according to the Chicago Herald, "for some time has been quite an attrac-
tion at White City. Her high diving is the marvel of the age. She dives from a height of 200
feet into only 3 feet of water. Several times she has marvelously escaped death, but she con-
tinues in her chosen career with undaunted bravery."

Miss Cady Lutie is a true sport, a corker!

Dr. Gaines What do vou mean? I am disgusted with this entire class thewnole
thirteen. We have never turned out a worse set, they are a disgrace to Agnes Scott.
I never thought there was much to any of them, and I could never understand why you,
Miss McKinney, became a member of that class. I wish we might take away their
A.B. Is there any way to do it by law, Dr. Arbuckle? They are a worthless set,
I shall see that not one of them ever gets a position in Agnes Scott College in Decatur,
Georgia. ||

Miss Hopkins E.xactly! Exactly!

Fa^u'ty adjourn.

In undertaking to write the history of the Junior Class of 1908-09, the historian
feels to some extent incapacitated, for she has only entered the class this year. But
then, is not one who has watched any growth simply as an outsider really more fitted
to write an unbiased historj^ than one who has helped to make that history? And
the position of an interested bystander has been that of the historian from the entrance
of this class into college.

These girls came here at a rather unpropitious time, for the curriculum was in a
iprocess of development and many were those whose hopes to enter college were crushed.
Still they were a large class as Freshmen, and set an example that all future Freshmen
would do well to follow; it was in that year that great class spirit was first shown in the
college, and, in spite of the Sophomores' advantage of ha^'ing been here a year, be
assured that they were not superior to the Freshmen.

In the Sophomore year, this class was greath' thinned, for alas, the steady develop-
ment of the curriculum was a thing which only a few could meet without being defeated
and made to fall back. However, several members of the Class of '09 decided to for-
sake it and join the one of '10, raising its numbers from six to nine. A small class, you
ay! Certainly, but that it was because of the great attainments necessary to be a
member, was shown by the marvelous strength exhibited by this small band. Sore
over the defeat of the previous year, the Juniors went in heart and soul to help the
Freshmen, but again they were disappointed, especially when they heard of how good
was the cream of which they were to partake at the Freshmen party, but which the
Sophomores enjoyed instead.

But those days are gone ! The class no longer has the time to join in those
pleasures to any great extent, but this year only advised and aided the Freshmen,
making it possible for them to win their great victor}'. There is one thing, however,
which we did do independently, and that was to take the Senior caps and gowns before
they had even worn them. My! weren't they a worried crowd as they rushed around
for several hours trying to unlock the closets and trunks of the Juniors, and all to no
purpose? To her great sorrow one of the housemaids finally told them of the hiding

I place, and naturally, it was quite easy to get them then while all the Juniors were at

! class.

'J Of the nine members of last A'ear, only one has failed to continue with us, but

four have taken her place, an almost unheard of occurrence for a Junior class. Two
of these have been in the college before, and the high standing of this class has inspired
them to ask the privilege of working with it for their degrees. Two others are new,
but in spite of objections raised by some, trying to keep them for the Sophoraores,
they were firm, refusing to allow themselves to be cheated of this privilege. Thus has
the class risen above all difficulties, and now stands in the last half of the college course
determined to keep up its high standing until the end when the result of all four years
will prove that they not only worked but to a purpose, that of bringing forth the praise
of all in enthusiastic shouts of "Here's to the Class of 1910."

Just a bunch of Jolly Juniors,

Drifting onward to the sea,
Where the Seniors float in triumph

Midst the waves of Physics B;
Where the breezes of the present.

Now so charged with chlorine gas
Will be purified by Reason

In the coming Ethics' class.

Trusty "Esse Qiiam Vidire"

Pilot of our little crew,
Guides us safely past Ports Enghsh,

Psych; and History, un et tons;
Even now, from B.A's Harbor

Can be seen faint streams of light,
So we're steering toward it, under

Sails of lavender and white.

k-^

When we've bravel}' faced all dangers.

Angry waves no longer fret.
And the winds, their wild mirth ceasing.

All their cunning do forget;
When again both hope and fancy

Rise within us, to compare
The present with the past, spent by us

Bviilding castles in the air.

Then that bunch of Jolly Juniors,

Fortunes all together cast,
Will, in triumph, find their efforts

Ripened into truths, at last;
Then, will visions of the future

Blossom into longed-for days.
And success, perchance, will crown us

With a wreath of lasting praise.

50pi)omore Class; Htstorp

How can I be expected to write a history of even this, the Sophomore Class, when
in the Freshie's room across the hall Bedlam reigns supreme? If you could only hear
the stamping, the screaming and yelling going on in there ! the cause of this unseemly
conduct being, as I 've gathered by the process of extraction from my Freshman room-
mate, the composition of a history by the class. And yet this is the very last night of
grace, tomorrow everything must be passed in to that inexorable Annual Staff so I
must compose myself and concentrate my faculties upon this task of supreme impor-
tance.

But there goes "Bunnie" again! Book hurled upon the floor, she dashes with
radiant face across the hall, where she is received with open arms by the perspiring
throng of Freshman composers, who welcome her as the bearer of an idea. ' Shrill
cries are now distinguished of "Put that down, Clyde!" "That's great!" and so on.

The poor dears! We cannot blame them, as they confront so serious an occur-
rence as this, for tearing their hair and distorting their baby faces upon which in
shadowy outline are still visible faint signs of the F traced there by Sophomore hands
when first they toddled into these sacred halls. The unoffending innocents were sore
distressed and filled with consternation over this last named deed, you know. But
you recall how wonderfully they were cheered and pleased when .the Sophomore
"mammies" carried to each her little bottle of milk (Freshmen are extremely vora-
cious). And 3^et their woe-filled souls were not entirely eased until we descended from
our dignity dressed up like Indians and played at burying the hatchet and smoking the
pipe of peace for their amusement. Then and not until then did they lay their wear}^
heads with a feeling of comfort and security upon the downy pillows cautious mothers
had sent along with their darlings leaving home for the first time.

But here I've run along with my reminiscences until I've used up all my time and,
I fear me, more than my alloted space in the Annual's pages. You'll pardon me, gentle
reader, I pray, and join with me in giving three ringing cheers for the class of 191 1 .

jfres{)man Clasis f^istot?

Well, here I am about to speak my piece and publish to the world the doings of
the wonderful Class of 191 2.

I sit in the midst of Annuals and within easy reach of my hand is a tremendous
book bearing this title: "Webster's Unabridged Dictionary." Impressed as I am by
the magnitude and solemnity of the task before me, and inspired by the eulogies
heaped upon their classes by former historians, I can scarcely refrain from launching
forth into extravagant and enthusiastic praise of my own class. But somewhere
within me I find awakened a spark of honesty and I must confess (though I fain would
have it otherwise) we are just the commonplace, not overly brilliant bunch that is
usually found among the verdant Freshmen.

But though we cannot startle the world with a remarkable display of knowledge,
we can at least show it that we are learning some things. No longer do we tremble with
fear when we are addressed by teachers ; no longer do we start up at the sound of every
bell, and hurry off to we don't know where, always filled with that terrible fear of
being tardy. Yes, we have at least overcome that awful sense of newness which the
Sophomores call "green."

And as for our physical strength and athletic skill well, if you could have seen
the Sophomore and Freshmen basket-ball game, all that would have needed no efforts
of mine to convince you of its truth.

They hoot at us, here, calling us "babies," "Freshies," and tease us about leaving
home for the first time. But I believe if they themselves had been just fresh from
scraps with their little brothers at home, then maybe our basketball game might not
have been such a victory for us of the "pigtails and abbreviated skirts."

I tell you no class surpasses us in physical prowess and we have shown that fact
so clearly, that the "Sophs" are beccming a little afraid of us, and things have certainly
calmed down since they realize that we won't be meddled with.

Why, I believe any little old Freshman could whip two of those measly Sophomores,
With the greatest of ease, I myself have Oh, thunder! Yonder comes a Sophomore
and I must take to my heels for she might get this away from me and read it and,
maybe, 1-a-u-g-h !

They tell me I'm a poet,
And a poem I must write;

I've torn my hair in anguish
I must hand it in to-night.

They tell me I must write about
The Freshman- Sophomore fight;

It really was a thrilling thing,
It happened in the night.

They tell me I must write about
The effigy burned, so bright;

We took it from the Sophomores,
'Twas a dark and rainy night.

They tell me I must write about
A thing now out o sight;

'Twas the hatchet that we buried.
That we buried in the night.

They tell me I must write about
What we've been told was right,

That we must take a regular course-
D. G. said so one night.

They tell me I must write about
And write with all my might.

About the glories of our class;
It's simply out of sight!

%\)t a^enunciation

It was spring beautiful, joyous, when the old earth, stripped of its beauty during
the winter, appeals anew to the senses of us all by its fresh, delicate colors. The birds
were singing as if their little throats would burst, the early flowers were blooming with
all the newness that the spring gives them, and the sunshine flooded the earth as if
trying to make up for the gloomy winter days that were over. In fact, the whole
world seemed to be showering all her stored-up splendor upon her children.

Two of them were walking up and down the gravel paths of the lawn at the old
Moore place. By field, lying just outside the town of Hampden.

Lilia Moore's clear hazel eyes gazed straight into those of Garner. "I am so
glad for you, Howard, because it is exactly what you have wanted, and I know it will
be splendid for you. And yet, I don't know how we will get along without you."

"What do you mean by we?"

"Oh, Mother and Father and all of us. You seem just like one of us, you know,
and now when you are going so far away clear to the Philippines and for such a
long time, it will be like losing a member of the family. What day will you leave here ?"

"Thursday."

"And this is Tuesday. Why didn't you tell me sooner? You knew I would be
interested in it, especially such a great opportunity as this."

" I did not know it myself until a few days ago and I dreaded to tell you."

"You dreaded telling me? Wh}^?"

"You know it means goodby."

The boy looked directl}^ before him, his lips drawn together into a thin, straight
line. He looked rather young for his age, and was usually gay and smiling, but now
his eyes were somber. He squared his shoulders with a jerk, as if he were throwing a
load from them.

"That is, it means goodb}-, more or less, for the present, but afterw^ards, after
five years, when I come home, then you know "

"Look, Howard, here is the first white narcissus." She stooped and broke it
from its slender green stem "and oh, doesn't it smell sweet?"

"Do you know, I always think of these snow white narcissus in connection with
you? Do you remember the morning of your tenth birthday, when you had that little
party over here, and you caught me kissing Ethel Amos behind the lilac bush? I
remember how j^ou cried and dec'ared you would never speak to me again. And as
I was going home, thoroughly repentant, before I reached the gate, vou came running

55

up behind me, your hands full of these flowers, and said that you would forgive me if
I never would do it again. And I never have, dear; you know it; there has never been
anvone but you you are not listening."

She turned toward him, torture in her eyes. "So much may happen in five years.
So much may change."

"Yes, a great deal may happen and some things will change but never my love
for vou. That is changeless, Lilia. You were proud of me when I graduated at West
Point last year, and now that I have been ordered to the Philippines for five years, I
shall make you more proud of me than you've ever been. I am going to make a repu-
tation, a name, for myself to share with y^"

" Don't, sav it, Howard. You know wehavesettled that; there must beno promises
now. We are both too voung. You must go, perfectly free. But oh, you'll be
good, won't you?" Her hand touched his, and it was instantly caught and held.

They were nearing the big gate down by the road.

The boy stood at his full height, his head held high. "Trust me, Lilia.
With the thought of you, pure, spotless as that flower in your hand, to carry with
me everywhere, I can't go very far wrong. I will not be changed when you see
me again. I must go now. Will you come down to the train Thursday with the other
girls and boys?"

She nodded.

"I'h see youthen and this is goodbye really goodbye" He pressed her hand,
looked deep into her eyes for one long moment, and was gone.

Clarke stood at the door of the tent in his shirt sleeves. He looked behind him at
Burke, big and Irish, who lay on his pallet, fanning.

"And still the sunshines, and still we swelter in this hole, and still you fan. I
Avish to goodness, Burke, that you Avould lose that fan, it makes the heat worse for you,
if vou only knewit. Lord, if it would onlyrain! There's not a cloud in the sky. Do you
remember that guy somewhere in the Bible, who saw a cloud the size of his hand, and
prayed for rain?"

"Never heard of it. Why, do you think a prayer from you will bring rain?"

" No, but if I did, I would compose one in double-quick time. I might even press
you into service."

"Not on 5^our life. I Avish I had my nickel back."

"What do you mean?"

"Oh, nothing. I just had my usual luck last night lost to Garner, and he so
drunk he coud hardly play, too."

Clarke groaned. ' ' What ! Howard Garner again ? He's a shark at the little game ,
all right. If I had that man's luck I'd say a fond farewell to all kinds of work, and go
into it for good and all. Lord, but the way that man has changed. Do you remem-
ber him when he first came over here to the Philippines?"

"He was his Mamma's prett}^ boy then."

"He was somebody's pretty bo}' certainly -innocence and big eyes and all that.

I remember you said; you were going to tie a blue bow on his hat to match his e}'es and

his temperament that sounds like you, Burke. He doesn't need that now, though;

he would match his Satanic Majesty himself. And yet, in the name of Heaven, why

is he so popular? Every man in the countrj^ is his best friend, and he winds the last

one of them around his finger."

" It's because he is always in such an infernal good humor."

" Yes, ycm never see him the least bit cross; even when he swears there is something

funny about it that makes one laugh. Why, even you, Burke, as fat and lazy as you

are, grin like a Chestershire cat whenever he is in hearing distance."
"Yes, especially when he's winning all my money at one swoop."
"The ladies like him too. And why? It's because he likes the ladies. You mark

my words, Clarke, Garner is going to get one of these Filipino knives stuck into him

some da)', if he doesn't Watch out."

"And ever}' woman on the Island will wear black for him. I wonder where he is

now. I believe I'll go find him."

"I wish 3rou would and let me go to sleep.. By the way, Clarke, L heard he was

going home next month." But Clarke had gone, so Burke turned over with a sigh,

and settled himself comfortably for a nap.

When Howard Garner stepped from the train at Hampden on that bitter cold day,
he found his father's trap there waiting for him. He greeted the old coachman warmh',
and sank back into his seat with a sense of relief that none of the familj' had come to
meet him.

Five years ! Think of it ! And it all seemed absurdly natural, driving up the well
known streets, with the same old driver, and behind the same old horse. It almost
seemed as if he had never been away at all, or as if he had come home for a Christmas
^^ -^ holiday. Of course there were some changes, there were some new buildings, some

Vw-' new people, and then he thought with a shudder, that nothing had altered as much as

he himself. An icy feeling of strangeness, of aloofness, clutched him and he almost
wished himself back in the Philippines.

Why was he not happier at the thought of being here? He had dreamed and
planned about this homecoming for five years, and now, now that he at last realized
his dream, and was in this land of peace and plenty, there was a strange uneasiness,
almost a dread of seeing the old familiar faces.

When he reached his home he saw that his father and mother were frailer, feebler,
than when he left, but their love for him, their only son their "soldier bov" was
undimmed by absence. One of his sisters, too, was married now, and the other,
whom he had left a happy, romping child, had grown into a slim girl verging upon
young womanhood.

The first evening he spent at home, but the second found him with LiHa the
same Lilia whom he had loved as a little boy, and whom he intended to carrv awav with
him when he left.

"Oh, it's good to see you again," she said to him. "I want to look at vou until I

57

l>

>

stare you out of countenance. You have changed, too, Howard; you look so much
more than five years older, there is something about your eyes "

"Don't say that word 'change,' Lilia. I hate the sound of it. It has been ringing
over and over in my ears ever since I came home."

"I expect it has. But begin now at the beginning, and tell me all about yourself,
what you have been doing, who you have been with, and everything. You know I am
interested in the smallest thing."

So Garner told her of the life, the customs, and the people, very much as he had
told his father and mother and some of his friends. And as they talked together he
watched her. She was different, some way, but how? Her appearance was the same,
and her manner. He shuddered. Could it be that the change was entirely in him?
Of course he loved her, he had always loved her, but was it the same kind of love?
The conversation was purely mechanical on his part; Lilia was keeping it up almost
entirely.

"Yes," he thought, "it is the same kind of love, only intensified a thousand
times." But was he as free to love her as he had been five years ago? Every fiber
of his manhood answered "No." He knew that he loved her with the best that was
in him and yet he realized, too, that he was bound irrevocably bound to that in
which his love for Lilia had no share.

"Are there many women where you were?" she asked.

"Yes. But it's a hard life hard in every way."

"I know. But a woman the right kind of woman wouldn't mind that."

He looked at her admiringly. "How you could help a man!"

And almost before he realized his own words, he heard her answer.

"How I would try!"

He arose and stood by the window pressing his forehead against the cool glass.
At last he turned his head.

" Pla}^ something, Lilia."

She sat at the big piano in the center of the room, and played for him, softly, with
the sweet delicate touch he had never forgotten. And he leaned on the piano and
looked at her. She wore a soft, filmy dress of pale blue, with her light hair piled high
on her head.

I "She looks like an angel," he thought, "who has caught some of heaven's own

(, color." And he recalled the lines of the poet who said,

"No angel, but a dearer being, all

In angel instincts, breathing Paradise."

"Yes, she is like that, she breathes another atmosphere than this. She treads the
heights of this world on tiptoe and touches paradise. While I I am made of more
common clay I cannot follow her there and I will not drag her down to m}' level.
But what will become of me, without her as my inspiration my guiding star? And
}'et what does it matter? I may be weak, without much strength of character, but

this time I will do what I know to be right, and not count the cost." He watched her
a few moments without speaking.

"Lilia, I must go; it is late and I must tell you I am leaving tomorrow for San
Francisco, and from there to the Philippines."

She looked at him, astounded. He was white to the lips.

"Howard! Going again? For how long?"

"I don't know forever. Goodby, Lilia goodby."

He wrung her hand, and left her standing before the blazing fire, white, silent.
The front door closed behind him, and he went out into the pitchy darkness alone.

Dr. Arniistead (with that same sidewise turn of mouth mentioned in Silhoutte for
1907) "x\m I the only gentleman present? Where is Dickman? Ah, here is Dr. Gaines I"

(Dr. and Mrs. Gaines enter, the former visibly embarrassed, as the handshaking,
health-inquiring process proceeds.)

Mrs. Gaines "Glad to see you girls, very glad. These little informal afternoon
affairs are lovel}' for the promotion of our social instinct. How are you, Dr. Arbuckle?
You are late."

Dr. Arhuckle "I've been talking to Miss Em and she seems dissatisfied with hav-
ing to keep the Sunday school library. I can't understand it."

Miss Smith " Nor L I do not see how it is she seems to object to looking after
Dorothea on the evenings that social engagements prevent my remaining with her. I
like for someone to stay by her while she sleeps and to hear her say her prayers. I
think I shall ask Dr. Gaines to have faculty meetings in the afternoons, anyhow, so
I shall be away less."

Dr. Arhuckle "Chunky says his prayers and, don't you know, the day when I
called him he answered "Here am I, Lord."

Miss Ross (to Miss Cady) "Speaking of families, Father, I'm haying a good deal
of trouble with Thomas. He is very unruly, and Jeanie is harder still to inanage."

Miss Cady (surprised). "Motherl"

Miss Ross "Indeed, }''es! Ah dear, when one is the mother of sixteen one must
suffer some trials."

Miss McKinney "Bettie is such a dear child and Tom! This afternoon Tom
said "Auntie, looks at my ball," and when I asked him what it was for he said 'knock

Mrs. Arbuckle (aside) "So glad Howard isn't spoiled."

Second girl "Yes.

First and Second girls (simultaneously) "So glad Howard isn't spoiled !"

First and Second girl (simultaneously again) "Sh-h-h."

Miss Colton (To Dr. Armistead) "Is there nothing to talk of but families?"

Dr. Armistead "Suggest a topic, fair lady."

Miss Colton "I don't approve of the way the girls dress."

Dr. Armistead That's not quite my province."

Dr. Arbuckle (joining them) "I don't approve of crushes."

Miss McKinney -"I most emphatically do not.

Miss Alexander "Nor I !"

Miss Hopkins (joining coterie) "What is this?"

Miss Hopkins Yes, yes. I am heartily in sympathy with any movement to
overcome it. I thought there would be less trouble after Sadie and Marguerite String-

atmosphere and "

human of the fac, headed by Miss Rachel Young, discoursing on "current events,"

counterbalances the weighty atmosphere in foreground. Miss Spangler rises to pass
cups; all receive them gratefully.)

-The Rubaiyat.

That Miss Gray, the art teacher at St. A 's, had said that Veronica Bertrand
possessed more than talent and that her work showed a streak of genius, was not the
onh" reason for making her especiaUy interesting to Pleasance Meredith, her best
friend, a blonde, splendidly built Junior, whose two absorbing college passions were
athletics and psychology. Pleasance was wholesomel}' interested in everything and
wholesomely attractive to everyone, and she declared that a "subtle mystery" clung
to her friend and that it was that which made her fascinating. Whether or not others
felt the "subtle mystery" they found Miss Bertrand charming as well as the stories
she told in her drawling purr and with such a dramatic manner. To Pleasance, Ver-
onica was franker than to the others and told her more of herself than interesting
traveling adventures. Nevertheless Pleasance felt that there was something intangible
about this slim, lithe creature Avhose lids had a queer trick of drooping over her dark
eyes, and whose beauty lay in those same eyes, a splendid red mouth, hair, and slender,
clever hands. And it was for just this that she found the girl interesting, and for many
other things she sincerely loved her.

It was one winter evening after the two had returned from a matinee and were
sitting in Pleasance's room where they had been drinking hot chocolate. Veronica was
leaning back in a steamer chair and Pleasance was noting with satisfied e3^es her friend's
indolent, graceful slenderness, her handsome suit and furs, and the great plume on her
hat, a plume that swept to her shoulders. Everything about Veronica always sug-
gested richness, almost sumptuousness, and somehow seemed a part of the girl herself.

"Veronica," said Pleasance, putting down the cup she had been holding, "where
did you get that ring?"

"When I was with ni}' father in Egj-pt two years ago. It is said to possess some
sort of charm, I believe, and, so the legend runs, belonged to a beautiful Egyptian
queen who was interestingly wicked," and the girl rose and walked to the window,
where she drew aside the curtains and stood staring at the snow-blotted campus.

"You love your father immensely, don't you ?" went on Pleasance.

"Oh, yes, I'm enormously fond of him. He's adorable, and so charmingly nice
looking. I'm going to Russia with him next; my mother was Russian, you know.
She died before I was a year old."

"So that's why 3'ou remind one of Nazimova," said the other as Veronica turned,
smiling, towards her.

68

\

"I'm going to my room, Pleasance. What are you going to study ?"

"Greek and 'Psyc,'" replied Pleasance. "Why? Veronica, there are circles
under your eyes. You've been working too hard. No doubt it's a masterpiece that
will bring you fame, but I wish 3'ou'd rest."

Veronica started around impulsively. "Pleasance, dear, don't study to-night.
I'm coming back after awhile. I want to tell you something queer. It may interest
that psychic imagination of yours, and anyhow you might help me."

Pleasance was surprised at the earnest tone and intense look on Veronica's face.
"Of course I won't study if you need me. Come back when you wish."

"You seem so broad-shouldered and capable, you player of basket-ball," laughed
Veronica from the door. "Thank you, my friend."

Pleasance prepared to study Greek till Veronica's return, but she felt puzzled and
also rather excited. Veronica had hinted at something mysterious and her face had
been so earnest in spite of her light laugh at leaving. When at last she slipped back in
her kimono, her glorious hair in a plait, Pleasance got up ready for her story and
anticipating interest.

"Lie down, Pleasance," said Veronica coaxingly, "I'll turn out the lights and rub
your forehead and eyes."

Pleasance lay on the bed readily enough, and in the darkness Veronica began to
run her fingers lighth'' through her hair.

"Most comfortable," sighed Pleasance, settling down. "Do you know those
lines of Riley's

The touches of her hands are like the fall of velvet snowflakes?

"Well, that's what your fingers remind me of so cool, slight, and soft, that I'm
always fearing they'll melt away."

For a moment neither spoke. Then Veronica began:

"You know the picture I'm painting now, the 'Spirit of Egypt'? It is the figure
of a dim, mist}^ lovely woman, whose presence hints mystery and beauty. I suppose
this ring," tAvisting the big, quaint thing about her finger, "inspired me with the idea.
I'm doing my work quite alone and Miss Gray is not to see it until it is complete. Ah,
Pleasance, you don't know how intensely the thing has fascinated me how I have
dreamed the woman's e}^es, mouth, hands! Yesterday morning," the girl's voice had
sunk to a whisper and Pleasance listened, tense, "when I drew the covering aside the
eyes had been painted just as I had dreamed them the night before, great living eyes,
sultry as the eyes of a Cleopatra should be. And I had not done them at all; the work
was better than I can do."

During the breathless silence that followed her fingers lingered across the other's
lids. Then she went on:

"This morning it was the mouth, a cruel, mocking but scarlet, kissing mouth, and
one lotus hand at her side that I had left crude to be finished later."

"Well, what does it mean?" asked Pleasance excitedlj'.

69

l>v

^vo

r-rA

"Mean? That someone has been tampering with my work!" half-sobbed back
the girl. In a moment she spoke more quietly. "Of course I'm not stupid enough to
think one moment of anything occult." Then her voice trembled again. "But I tell
you it's uncanny. O Pleasance, I know there is no one but a master who could do
such work. I tell you, it's perfect."

Pleasance was startled. Her quick mind began to work furiously,, but the only
thing she managed to say was an abrupt, " Wh}'- didn't you tell me before?"

Veronica was clasping and unclasping her hands. "I don't know, I don't know.
It seemed incredible and you were so busy too. What shall I do? There is but the
drapery left."

"Do? Will you go to bed?" begged Pleasance. "You're unstrung, tired.
I'll think it out. Go!"

She started up. "How worried I've been, Pleasance, you can't know. It was to
be all my work and it isn't. I tell you," she was whispering, "it is hardly human; it is
too marvelous."

"Go to bed and don't think. Oh, I'm excited! I'll unravel this or die. Leave
me to think, won't you?"

"Thank you; I am tired. Good night, and thank you."

Pleasance saw the strained look in her eyes as she went out the room. Then she
began to think. She thought till her mind that was so sane began to grow dizzy.
Over and over the facts she went, nervous and strained with excitement. That last
whisper, "I tell you, it's hardly human," haunted her. No clue.

Finall}' after two or three hours she gave an excited exclamation, rose, slipped on
her kimona and started for the art room. It was dark and frightfuUj' late. The
basketball player became absurdly timorous as she crept along the silent corridors, so
wide and empty at this hour. They were not quite silent either, for each board seemed
to creak and a thousand night-sounds made her start. At last she entered the art
room. How gloomy it seemed! White busts gleamed from shadow}' corners, bits of
canvas and pieces of pottery cast ghastly silhouettes.

Pleasance pressed her hand against her mad, beating heart, but that hand, so
sure and firm with the ball, could not stifle its throbs as she slipped to the corner where
Veronica's easel stood. Frightened, she waited a moment to draw aside the veil;
then started back. Her lips formed the word "stunning!" A woman with the slender
oval face of an enchantress looked mockingly from the canvas. Ah, those superb eyes
that sent a thrill through the girl ! The mouth, too ; that was wonderful.

For a long time Pleasance stood before the easel, fascinated by those eyes in the
depths of which lurked the spell of Egypt. They held her hypnotized till the girl forgot
her mission, lost in a dream of the mystery of those far sands and the sphinx that brooded
over them. Suddenly her overstrained ears caught a soft pat, pat down the hall and
her heart gave such a violent stop that she wondered in a terror whether it would ever
go on beating. The panic that came over her rooted her to the spot. Nearer and
nearer! Should she never be able to tear herself away? Wildly, with frantic abandon,
she hurled herself into the corner where she sat with that pounding heart lashing so loud

as to almost blot out the sound of the footsteps so inevitably approaching the studio
door. Then the door swung open and a slender figure stood on the threshold, where
it paused before coming to that easel a woman's, whose nervous fingers sought eagerly
for the brush. Those words from the sleep-walking scene in Macbeth flashed through
the dazed mind of the girl shrinking back in a fascination :

And the ansAver:

You see, her eyes are open.

Ay, but their sense is shut.

Mechanically the palette was prepared. The brush made a silvery white fold in
the woman's drapery. Yes, it would be completed that night.
It was Veronica.

^^i?G^lL,g^Oej

A

I'm a Hottentot from Agnes Scott.

A player of basket ball;
I jump so high I scrape the sky,
And I never, never fall.
When once I get the ball,
I toss it above them all;
I'll get it in, my side shall win.
Our foes shan't score at all.

One day I went on fun intent

A-prancing to the gym.
If not too late, I'd learn to skate
Then I'd be in the swim;
Instead I hit the floor,
I'll never walk any more.
I broke my skate, and split my pate,
I tell you I was sore.

Another day, I went to play

Upon the hockey field;
I thought it fine, oh, most divine,
A hockey stick to wield.
Twinkle, twinkle star,
I wonder what you are;
I cracked my shin, and tore my skin
And had to come home in a car.

Then in the gym, with greatest vim.

Those long ropes I did climb,
And on the bar, I was a star.
Oh, my! It was sublime.
I tried to ride the horse,
But, dear me, what remorse.
He gave a bound, I struck the ground;
No safety in a horse.

And so you see, at A. S. C.

There's something every minute.
You surely have to hustle here.
Or else you'll not be in it.
We're crazy 'bout the gym.
The hockey and the swim.
So now three cheers, and each who hears
Will raise it with a vim.

Was unusually pleasant spoke to two girls in the halls.

Chapel entirely too noisy. Had to rap three times for silence. Rather
short service, so had time for a short talk on College Ideals. New
girls never pa}' any attention to this, but the old students expect
it. Spoke with Miss Hopkins before dinner about the advisabil-
ity of uniforms. I have noticed that the girls dress extravagantly.

Had secretary write circular letters to parents about curtailing girl's
allowances. Spent afternoon looking over letters from parents.
Great bore, this answering so many questions. Got Miss Davis to
make a type answer. Told them all that daughters are excellent
students and that the health record is unusual.

Gave Frau money for new clothes. Thought she had new suit last
year, but found it was year before last. Spent morning in
town; was late to lunch. Good thing I gave Frau money before
I went to town. Had to show visitors over grounds until prayer
meeting. Was much embarrassed there only eight girls present
and no teachers.

Gave teachers a lecture in chapel. I'll show them I'm running
things. At prayers I told the student body of my trip North.
Did mv best. Told one or two jokes which were fairly well
received.

Interviewed by Miss Appleyard. She had the usual tales of pins and
tacks in the wall. Told her to send the offenders to me. That
will scare them into obeying rules. I have never known it to fail.
Got letter from Christian Observer saying that dancing must be
stopped in Agnes Scott, or all advertising in its columns dis-
continued. Special meeting of Trustees to pass the law. Girls
indignant, but of no use.

Have entertained several ex-Deans at the college. It looks well to

have them here. My own opinion of them is that they are all

conceited (I can not tolerate conceit or extravagance). Rather

expensive guests. Have to get up good dinners at Miss Hopkin's

table. It would never do to let them see the regular fare.
Have been having a great deal of trouble with clubs. Deans all
agree with me that clubs should be abolished. Tonight the regu-
lar time for Faculty meeting. Had several good points from the
Deans, but Dr. Arbuckle got the floor and I didn't have a chance
to tell them.

Interviewed publishers of my Bible notes. Renewed contract,
though there is not much profit in it. Son Lewis did not arrive
today. I don't know the reason of his delay. Got mixed up in
another Taft and Bryan discussion with Arbuckle. Argument
grew so heated that I got Chunky a new toy to make peace.

Dictated letters all the morning. I am greatly worried about the
erection of the new building. This money panic came at a most
inopportune time.

Had a pleasant talk with Dr. Sweet. She is utterly different
from Dr. Martin not so aggressive and doesn't complain of the
meat and the lights. Much better health this term.

Was pleased to see the Faculty conspicuous at prayer meet-
ing. They are more easily managed than the girls. A very
busy day.

The Donald Fraser boys serenaded the college about midnight last
night. I hate to have the night watchman so very strict, for I
remember when I was young, in springtime. But I can not have
my rest so disturbed.

Called Mrs. Mays in my office to tell her that no more sherry could be
used in desserts; this is a church school, besides vanilla and
lemon are cheaper flavorings. Also told her that the bills were
more than they should have been, and that ham could be used
occasionally instead of chicken, for Sunday dinner.

Have you ever heard of the "great alone,"

Of that country where fear is dead ?
Of the land that breeds men big, brawny and rough,

But the place where the blood is red?
It is far from here, and a place pretty drear

For those who have lived in peace,
But it can't be beat, if it is a dead heat.

With strife that will never cease.

II
It's the call of the North in my heart I feel,

The call of the rocks and the wild;
The lone star points to my hut up there.

Not the home I knew as a child.
But the home I sought and for which I fought

In the days of the silver game.
When all that told was hearts that were bold,

And not a hang for a name.

Ill

O it's good, that country of rough and wild,

Not the good that the parson knows.
For the gambling dens are thick up there.

And a sight of drink that flows;
But for those who can it makes the man

The iron that not one can bend;
The kind of stuff that is not a bluff;

And it's scars that will count in the end.

IV

Not the face of a saint, unscathed and clean.

With the soul of the viper inside;
But the face that is marred with the battle of life

Is the one that deserves the pride.
O! the call of the North, and the seething froth

Of the rapids around your canoe;
The song in your ears that all through the years

Will call with a faint halloo!

V
Yes, it's good to be in the "great alone,"

In that land where fear is dead.
To wander all day with shovel and pick

And then, only rocks for a bed.
Many such night has the Northern Light

In that land of the midnight sun.
But the North Countree is the place for me

'Til this game of chance is done.

The Dramatic Club started this year with as much enthusiasm as formerly.
The effort is to have everyone interested in the club and not only those who have a
talent along this line. Consequently all are invited to join, and there are few who do
not take advantage of this invitation, thus helping to make it a success even though
unable to take part.

Not only are the plays enjoyed because of the splendid acting displayed, but also
because of the social feature combined with them. The friends of the girls are always
invited to be present, and then after the play there is time to be with them for a while,
thus making the evening even more delightful.

As formerly, Miss Cady, assisted this year by Miss Ross, has directed the plays,
so that we have to extend to them, as well as to the participants, the great praise due
to their success.

The first announcement of a German Club at Agnes Scott called forth occasional
smiles of amusement, due to the fact that the organization had chosen for itself quite
naturally an ill-fated and somewhat ambiguous name. In whatever way the unini-
tiated interpreted us, it soon became clear to our own college world that we were not
banded together to trip the light fantastic, but in the more serious purpose of promot-
ing interest in the German language and of introducing into the German department
the elements of German farce, German customs and German song.

The Club organized last year has a membership of the German teachers and
students of both College and Academ}-, with several honorary members from the Faculty
who have kindly given us their interest and assistance.

At its meetings, held at intervals of three or four weeks, an hour is usually devoted
to the singing of German songs and to German games, which, be it admitted, do not
tax very severely the lingiustic powers of even beginners. Farces were presented the
the first year by members of the first and second year college classes. Not until this
year has a German classic been attempted. The success with which the third year
German students of the college gave Lessing's ever fresh and mirthful comed}', " Minna
von Barnhelm," leads us to cherish the hope that the club may be able to put at least
one German classic "on the boards" each year.

The unpremeditated speed with which the Christmas recess descended upon Agnes
Scott this 5^ear, made it impossible for the German Club to carry out its plan for a pro-
gram of German songs and carols. Something of the naive charm of the real German'
Christmas was, however, caught and held for an hour among those who, at the invita-
tion of the advisory committee, gathered about the rann^nftaMm for Christmas cheer.
The German songs are never so lovely as when sung in the half-light of the Christmas
candles. In this light "Stille nacht, heilige nacht" gained new solemnity, and new
ardor was poured quite unconsciously into the strains of "Die Wacht am Rhein."

That the purposes of the Club may be realized-, we wish it long life and prosperity.
Hoch dem deutschen Klub !

L. E. D -We sympathize with you in the trouble you mention. We know from
experience the trials of popularity. We would advise you to pursue the even tenor
of your way, but to be very careful to do nothing that would endanger the substantial
benefits to be obtained from crushes.

Clyde C. As you say, it is very difficult to arrange so abundant a suit of hair.
To lessen the trouble, we would recommend wearing your switches only on Sunday.
We would also say most emphatically that we do not consider it necessary to comb your
hair every day.

M. E. McC. Do you consider it proper for a girl to offer her affections to the
man of her choice at any other time than leap year?

If all indirect methods of eliciting a declaration from the man fail, we then think
it perfectly proper for the girl to exercise the rights of the emancipated woman of the
twentieth centur}^ and propose without timidity or constraint.

M. Y. McI. I am greatly worried over losing flesh; my usual weight is 225 and
I now weigh only 200. What do you recommend?

Your loss of flesh is undoubtedly caused from overwork. We would advise you
to drop everything and take a campus course.

Anxious. My appearance distresses me greatly. How can I get rid of a counte-
nance that is neither pleasing nor attractive?

Infuriate your roommate and she will probably slap it off.

Francis D. We think that you may overcome your natural timidity and lack of
self-assertion by persistent treatment. It is very important to try to rid yourself of
your shrinking and retiring habits, as you are apt to be imposed upon.

A. N. I would like to complain through your columns of the embarrassment
that is caused me by having so many offices thrust upon me. Is there any way by
which I may escape such popularity?

The embarrassment you mention is natural, but we can conceive no way out of the
difficulty except to sacrifice your modest}^ to the public good.

K. C. B. I find that I am unable to run Agnes Scott. This troubles me greatly,
as I feel the faculty and students do not properly appreciate my capabilities. I think
it your duty to try to remedy this through your columns.

Majestically j^ours,

K. C. BUNN.

Who sat across from me.

A red ant I did see.

Into a student's head,
"O mercy," to myself I cried,

"If that ant should be dead."

I am a peevish student, I,

My reason I will tell you why:

The crush on whom my thoughts all turned,

My heart she's gone and went and spurned.

They say that ignorance is bliss
And 'tis folly to be wise;

But when on some exam I miss.
Proverbs, I fear, are lies.

Em "What's the Sunda}- School lesson? I've got to study it."

Paynie "Oh, never mmd,you know it; it's about Ruth gleaning in the fields of

Beelzebub."

As to the saddest words of tongue or pen
There's much that's been written, again and again;
But of all the sad words that have ever been spoke,
The saddest are these, "I'm stranded and broke."

To have to write in flowing rhyme,
When your thoughts all run to prose,

May scarcely well be called a crime.
But it's one of the greatest woes.

I dreamed a dream next Tuesdaj^ week

Beneath the spreading ash;
I thought my eyes were dried peach pies

And my nose was brown baked hash.
And as I sit, there came a grit,

And thusly spoke to me;
"Of peaches, goat or hominy.

Which would vou rather be?"

A maid on knowledge whose mind was intent.
To add to her store, to the "lab" she went.
A chemical mixture she thought she'd essay.
To a cup of water she added Na;
A crash, a bang, you know the rest
She went above to end her quest.

To rouse us with its most unrighteous din,

Would tell us a new day brings cares that last

Before, mayhap, you get restricted too;

For Margaret is a most determined maid,

And if you brook her will well, I don't know,

Is shattered when they say ' ' Accost no boy

Indeed the many things I love outside
Have caused the Faculty to much deride

My brain's capacity, which leaves me sore;
And often o'er my "rep" I've thought and sighed

Indeed, indeed, to cram, with frantic flash
Of energy I've started. But I blush
To add that each tiine I'd resolved
My plans were shattered by another crush.

Think of me as one who meant quite well

But when the grind begins, alas!

And our nights are full of woes.
The Glee Club wants a new song.

And classes galore want more and more,

Till our groans we cannot quell.
And day after day the grind goes on.

her hand to the mantel) .
