SENIOR POEM

Willi apologies to Richard H

There are gains for all our losses,

There are balms for all our pain.
But when college years depart
There's a sadness in each heart.
For they never come again.

We are stronger, we are better.
Under Senior's sterner reign.
Still we feel that something sweet
Now has gone with flying feet.
And will never come again.

But tho' earlier years have vanished.

And we sigh for them in vain.
We press onward and there's gladness
Which is mingled with our sadness.
For we'll live in them again.

SENIOR CLASS WILL

E, the undersigned members of the Class of 1911, having stood the test

of years and yet being of sane mind, do hereby bequeath, in the

following order, our respective gifts and personal attractions to the

members of the Class of 1912, hoping that they may win in the year

to come the same glory and renown which has crowned our brilliant career.

Art. I. Mary Louise Leech hereby bequeaths to Susette Reusing Joerg her ability
at stump speaking, her suffragette inclinations and her Greek Dictionary.

Art. n. To the honorable Miss Jannette Newton is given by Miss Mary Gladys
Lee her success in pawing the ivory, her prerogative to reprove the Dean, and her nervous
but groundless fear of examinations.

Art. in. Annie Julia Parazade DuPre wills to Sina White her mathematical
turn of mind, her fluency in Spanish, and easily conquered affections.

Art. IV. To Ruth Abigail Slack, Louise Jerusha Wells hands over her lovely
alto voice, her "tennis" intimacy with the faculty, and her propensity for "snatching up
moments."

Art. V. Julia Claud Thompson bequeaths to Tony Antoinette Milner Blackburn
her cheerful matrin-onial prospects, her association with the "nobihty" and her host of
love-lorn crushes.

Art. VI. Theodosia Willingham hands over to Annie Chapin McClane her
middy blouses for "Jim," and further endows her with her acrobatic dexterity and her
aspirations to become taller by means of the consumption of raw eggs.

Art. VII. Eleanor Preston Coleman leaves to Cornelia Elizabeth Cooper her
cowboy ways together with her executive ability and her cannibalistic tendency to eat
the last of everybody.

Art. VIII. To Nellie Fargason, Adelaide Louise Cunningham hereby bequeaths
her silly giggle, her skill in English composition and her housewifely tendencies.

Art. IX. Mary Wallace Kirk, otherwise known as President of the Agnes Scott
Academy, gives to May Joe Lott her license to wave at the gentlemen of the faculty,
and her sentimentality, expressed especially in Love Lyrics.

Art. X. Erma Kitura Montgomery hands down to Marie Randolph Mclntyre
her love of repose, her mania for Latin and her freedom from restrictions.

Art. XL To Carol Laken Stearns, Mary Elizabeth Radford wills her abundant
suit of hair and her decided aversion to man.

Art. XIL Charlotte Elizabeth Reynolds bequeaths to Frances Gertrude Mayson
her leisure moments, her high position in the social world and her "bone-head."

Art. Xin. Geraldine Hood (a la Jerry) gives to Mary Jane Sadler Croswell
her dramatic ability, her sylph-like form, and her poetic imagination.

Art. XIV. Lucile Alexander wills to Martha Hall her insatiable thirst after
French.

JUNIOR CLASS POEM

Age quod agis! Our motto for life;
Chosen in fulness and power of our youth.

Long ere our strength had been tried.

Long ere the waves and the tide
Mightily rolled o'er us, teaching the truth:
Few conquer, few even survive in the strife.

II
We have excelled in each field we have found:
Scholarship, tennis, and much besides looks.

We are a class dexterously skilled,

We are a class which has filled
Page after page in our annuals and books ;
Yet there arises a doubt in our minds.

Have we been true to our motto so good?
Gloomily backward we look o'er the years.

Seeing mistakes we have made.

Seeing our motto decayed.
Searching our hearts through the mist of our tears
Wondering if truly we've done what we could.

IV
Through the dark shadows of doubt there appears
Brightly the hope of the year yet unspent:

Hope in the strength of our wills,

Hope in that faith which fulfils;
Strong in the might of our single intent.
Conquer we shall all the incoming years.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY

^^0 O tell all the glories of our illustrious class (which tradition says is the duty of
#1 the Historian) would take up more room in the Annual than its inexorable

^^^^ staff will allow, or would force us to adopt a serial plan and have our history
"continued in our next." But to give you, O gentle Reader, a cursory view
of our glories, past and present, I will say that they, like Gaul, are divided into three
parts. We excel, nay we surpass all, in our studies, in art, and in athletics. Who
won the laurel wreath when we were little green Freshmen? Echo answers, "The green
little Freshman, Cornelia." To whom did Cornelia yield her palm when we were noisy
Sophomores? Echo answers, "To the noisy Sophomore, Annie Chopin." We have the

39

high average habit now and it would be quite a surprise to see some alien walk off with
a scholarship for piano, voice, or art. But I am forgetting the grand third division
athletics. We have not yet yielded our place as basket-ball champions and we star in all
other lines as well.

Why, I have stretched this out into a regular Sophomore brag, half forgetting that
we are Juniors and must put away childish things. It is hard to realize that three years
ago Agnes Scott did not know of our existence, and now her heart is nearly bursting with
the pride of ownership of such jolly and withal such brilliant Juniors. But the jolly
Juniors will soon be no more and the grandest Seniors of all (present company always
excepted for the sake of any feelings that might be hurt) will take their places, and you
will see our superlative class the greenest of green Freshman, the noisest of noisy
Sophomores, the joUiest of jolly Juniors developing under our caps and gowns into
the most dignified of dignified Seniors.

Lessons over and out to the gym

FRESHMAN CLASS POEM

Freshmen ! poor, afflicted,
Cause of ceaseless mirth.
What are our stupid errors
And endless blunders worth?
Did ever simple mortal With eighty-seven of us.

More agony live through We could have run the schoo

Than we with moistened eyelash Yet meekly we surrendered

That first dread week or two? A most convenient tool.

And now that we are wiser.

One thing we know is this:
We may have been quite stupid.
But ignorance was bliss.
For since we've gotten fresher What makes the burden harder.

Temptation has crept in; What lays the deepest snare

While others are permitted. Is the harrowing traditions

Whate'er we do is sin. The Sophomores to us bear.

Though, just like love or measles,

'Tis a stage we must live through.
Would that we could escape it.
Or a remedy we knew !
Yet, Freshmen, come to reason. We form the school's foundation

Lend me your worthy ears! On us its fame relies;

Why all this lamentation. Be not proverbial Freshmen,

Why cherish we such fears? But let your deeds surprise.

Each Senior was a Freshman

Before she honored grew,
And some day, little Freshman,
You'll be a Senior, too.

HISTORY OF THE FRESHMAN CLASS

3

first

T is a pity to begin a story with tears, but this is a true

story, you know, and must begin with the very first day

at college, when you and I were "new girls." It might

have started at the real beginning, when the Freshmen

eft home; but that would be the story of more tears and

very bitter ones and the mere reminder of that time might prove

to-day that the Freshmen did not shed all of their tears, but that

there is still an abundant supply left.

However, the "old girls" took them in charge and planned
such delightful surprises for every hour, that the newness soon
wore off. And won't you confess now, that you were ready to
wipe away homesick tears the very first time one of them took you
to "Jaxons?" After that, things progressed in a more business-
like manner.

The first event of great importance was a class meeting.
Don't you remember the notice read at supper? "All regular
Freshmen are requested to meet in Miss McKinney's recitation
room immediately after prayers. " How proud you felt, even
though an amused snicker from the older ones did sound over the
dining-room.

This first meeting was probably not a model of parlia-
mentary order, but when the primary object of this meeting is re-
membered, there is no wonder that it was not formal. It was called to plan a defensive
for the oncoming and seemingly inevitable Freshman-Sophomore fight. Is it to the
discredit, then, of the Class of 1914, that the business transacted at its first meeting was of
this frivolous nature? No, oh no! They, like the wise virgins that they are, thought
it important to be prepared for whatever might happen.

It did happen, and with a vengeance at first and Freshmen and Sophomores alike
will not soon forget the onslaughts of that night. Who said torn up rooms and pennants

50

"hi.3-.

iin

down? Who said funeral pyre and funeral procession? Echo answers, "who?" But
they haven't forgotten. A treaty of peace was made, so the fight is now a thing of the
remote past. However, someone has hinted that the classes will still bear watching.

There have been other meetings, very important ones, for deciding on colors, flowers,
pictures and the class motto. This motto: "Why should I study and make myself
mad?" is surely not entirely typical of the class, but its sentiment does show a certain
happy philosophy, characteristic of its girls.

I can't end this story now by saying they "all lived happily ever after," because
it is a record and, like other history, is in the makmg; in fact it is just begun. But they
are going to live happily and only the future can tell what success and joy and glory
will be theirs.

AT THE GERMAN TABLE

^1^ ALK about being a foreigner in a foreign land ! It cannot be one-half so bad
/I as to be a foreigner in your own land. To be in the midst of plenty and

^^^^ yet want that is an exact expression of what it means to sit at the German
table. All around at other tables sit gay, unconcerned people talking English
with never a thought for that desert spot where "nur Deutsch, bitte," is the rule. The
dining-room seems a paradise and this place so far removed that tears involuntarily start
to the eyes of the lonely one, who, far from her own table and friends, is as a stranger in
a strange land.

Now and then the lonely one essays a few words, only to be met with the informa-
tion that she has gotten her participle wrong, or that her adjectives have no case endings.
Savagely she shuts her mouth, and inwardly vows (in English) that so long as she lives
she will never utter another word of German. Once upon a time she liked this language,
now yet perhaps it is best not to speak of it.

The lonely one silently applies herself to a bad dinner, and feels within her heart
of hearts that Fate is against her. Behold! Not even the consolation of silence is
afforded her. From the head of the table comes the call,

"Fraulein! Fraulein!" spoken in a commanding voice, and Fraulein obediently
turns her attention to the head of the table.

"Sprechen sie auf Deutsch, Fraulein. Sprechen sie viel, viel!"

"Yes'm," Fraulein mutters.

"Ach, aber Deutsch!" comes to her ears.

"Yes'm," she answers and relapses into silence.

On the other side of Fraulein the girl who has had so many years of German and
who speaks it with such lightning-hke rapidity, turns to her and begins an animated dis-
course on something. Fraulein can't make out just what she is saying. She ends it by
asking a question, the substance of which the lonely one has not the slightest comprehen-
sion. What should she answer? Mentally designating her fork as "nein" and her spoon
as "ja" she counts, "My mamma told me to take this one." The spoon gets it.

"Ja," she answers to the girl, praying that she has not said anything very terrible.

"Horen sie wie gut dieses Fraulein versteht!" the girl says to the head of the table,
and together they beam on the lonely one. A glow comes around her heart, and she
feels pleased with the world again. Secretly, she pats the spoon that was "ja." After
all, she concluded, German isn't so bad as long as you have a spoon and fork to
count on.

ALMA MATER SONG

When far from the reach of thy sheltering arms.

The band of thy daughters shall roam,
Still their hearts shall enshrine thee, thou crown of the South,

With the memory of youth that has flown.
Dear guide of our youth.
Whose spirit is truth.

The love of our girlhood is thine.
Alma Mater, whose name we revere and adore.

May thy strength and thy power ne'er decline.

Agnes Scott, when thy campus and halls rise to mind.

With the bright college scenes from our past.
Our regret is that those years can ne'er return more.

And we sigh that such joys could not last.
Where ever they are.
Thy daughters afar

Shall bow at the sound of thy name.
And with reverence gives thanks for the standard that's thine.

And the noble ideal that's thy aim.

And when others besides us thy portals shall throng,

Think of us who have gone on before.
And the lesson that's graven deep into our hearts

Thou shalt 'grave on ten thousand and more.
Fair symbol of night.
The purple and white.

Which is purity without a stain.
Knowledge, shall be thy shield and thy fair coat of arms,

A record without blot or shame.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT

^H^HE Student Government Association at Agnes Scott was organized in the
11 Spring of 1906, and so successful was its experimental year that not the

^^^^ slightest question of its fitness and ability to perform the work of governing the
college students has ever been raised. Its organ is the executive committee,
consisting of a president and vice-president, elected from the Senior Class; a secretary and
marshall, elected from the Junior Class; and eight representatives elected from the four
college classes.

This organization is of inestimable value in molding the thoughts and habits of the
girls who come here to college. It places a girl on her own responsibility, just as the
citizen of a state is placed. Each student has a voice in the election of those who are to
make and enforce the laws by which she shall be governed. Furthermore, the foundation
of the whole system is personal honor, and its tendency is to make this element a very
definite one in the life of its members.

YOUNG WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION

^^^ HE Young Women's Christian Association was organized in 1 906, and since
/I I that time has steadily grown in strength and influence with the student body.

%^l^ Its successive presidents have been: Miss Sara Boals, Miss Maud Hill,
^^^ Miss Margaret McCallie, Miss Irene Newton, and Miss Mary Wallace
In I 908 the association assumed half the support of an Agnes Scott alumna who
is a missionary in China, and still continues this noble work. The quick and enthusiastic
response with which the appeal for this undertaking was met revealed a genuine and
widespread interest in missionary work.

The influence of the Y. W. C. A. in upholding the standard of Christian life is very
great. Under its auspices four Bible Study Classes and four Mission Study Classes
are conducted; and its varied committee work draws a large number of students into
active Christian service. The influence of such an organization, however, should not
be judged by tangible results only; much of the help it gives to the college life is uncon-
sciously received and does its work silently but none the less powerfully.

"THE DOORS' CLOSING!

3N the realm of Agnes Scott there is a certain law in force that sounds something
like this: "Whosoever shall be too lazy, too forgetful, or merely too unfortu-
nate to reach the 'happy feeding ground' before the doors leading thereinto are
closed, that unfortunate one shall enter only at the peril of losing her fair
name and having her honor smirched."

If one be guilty of such an offence, she is summoned before the Dean, and woe
unto any self-respecting citizen that is summoned before the Dean. All vestige of self-
respect is lost in that interview ! The offending one comes forth with the firm conviction
that she is not fit to associate with the worms of the field, and in her heart there is the
strong determination that, since she has been fortunate enough to obtain forgiveness this
time, never again will she be guilty of such an offence.

Therefore, the idea of going in after once these massive portals have been closed,
being eliminated, thus the proposition is narrowed to "Beat the doors or no breakfast!"
The word breakfast is used in preference to dinner or supper, first because it has the
particular merit of batter-cakes and the pain of missing it is therefore greatly increased;
and secondly because breakfast is the only meal for which so many difficulties have to be
overcome. From sleep, sweet sleep, the fair one is rudely awakened by the ringing of a
bell, sometimes the first breakfast bell, but more often the last. A blessing it is, that the
last bell rings for five minutes. At the end of that five minutes, the alarm is started by
some one who h^s been stationed to watch, and the cry goes up from all sides, "The
doors' closing! "

"The doors' closing!" Oh, the magic power in that sentence! In the language of
to-day, the word "Sesame" is not in it when it comes to the cry of the "doors' closing."
On all sides doors fly open and girls clad in various and sundry articles and various and
sundry degrees come flying or stumbling out as the case may be, making a mad rush to get
down stairs before George the "Dragon of the gate" finishes closing the dining-room
doors.

Look at that girl, carrying her dress in her hand! Can she get there? Just watch
and see. She puts her dress over her head going down the steps, slaps at the top and
bottom hooks, slips into a sweater and strolls in as if she had been dressed for a
half hour.

Another girl is frantically buttoning every other button on her shoes, while another
is tying a ribbon around her streaming hair. One and all, however impossible it may seem,
after the desperate effort under the rallying force of "the doors' closing" walk serenely
into the dining-room, with the joyous feeling of a conqueror; and as they sit down the
thought of batter cakes recurs to their minds with a blissful feeling of satisfaction.

THE SOPHISTICATING OF NAN

I

AN, half sitting, half lying in the Monis chair, nibbled her chocolates con-
tentedly. She looked with half-open eyes at Marjory, writing letters at the
little desk in the corner. "It is fortunate for poor mother that she has you,
Marjory," she remarked. "You are so good about being piloted along
through a social career. Don and I are very nice in our way, I suppose, but our way
isn't as you and mother would have it. Oh, well, I shall lay every bit of the blame on
Don ; he is older than I am anyway, and he led me from the social path that mother and
you had planned for me."

Marjory, rather pretty, and rather plump, altogether correct in every detail, stared
with open disapproval at her sister.

"Well, Nan, I think you are very foolish. When you came home from college last
spring, we were going to give you a beautiful debut party in the fall. You are the
prettiest one in the family, and we had planned it and taken so much interest in what we
would do for you, when here you flew ofl at this tangent and refused to go out at all,
except with a very few of Don's special friends, and some of these infants you have
picked up around here who play golf and tennis, and skate well. Don is a man, and if
he chooses to give society the cut direct it is his own affair, but it is too silly for you to
undertake to do everything he does. I call it pure ingratitude for you to behave this way."

"I know, Marjory, dear, I have heard all of that before, but I've had a dandy time
here at home all winter, just doing exactly as I please. I've had a much better time than
you have." Nan threw her arms over her head and yawned. "Anyway, I'm glad I
don't have to go to that dinner at the Marches' this evening; it would bore me to death."

The telephone at Marjory's elbow rang. She took down the receiver.

"Hello."

"Oh, Mrs. March."

"You're in a scrape about this evening?"

"Who?"

"Oh, yes, my little sister."

89

!!

-.i^)yv>!>^M^;^

There was a long speech at the other end of the Hne during which time Marjory
speculatively surveyed her "httle sister." She was lying back in the Morris chair, slim,
hthe, with an almost boyish figure, staring in front of her from under straight, dark brows.

"Why she isn't at home right now, Mrs. March, but I know she will be de-
lighted to go."

Nan sat up with a jerk.

"Look here, Marjory, am I the subject of all that?"

"Hush, Nan, I can't hear. Yes, indeed, I'll just accept it for her. Who did you
say you had put her with?"

"Oh, yes. I know she will be delighted. Good-bye."

Nan was leaning on the desk, indignation in every feature.

"Call Mrs. March up right this minute, Marjory, and tell her I am not going."

"Now, Nan, be reasonable," Marjory laughed nervously. "You see, Mrs. March
is in a hole about this; there is an extra man coming that she had not counted on, and
she must have another girl."

"Well, I am not here to pull her out of holes. What is Mrs. March to me?"

"How selfish of you!"

"I didn't think you would tell a story about it, either; I'm not going to that party,
Marjory."

"Nan, it was a case of necessity. I am very anxious for you to go, and I knew you
wouldn't want to if you talked to her yourself. She said Mr. Havisham was going to take
you in to dinner. It is too cruel for you to speak that way about Mrs. March, when she
is a special friend of mine, and she said so many lovely things about you to me over the
'phone. She said you were so pretty and attractive that you would be an ornament to the
occasion but you don't deserve for me to tell you any more.

"Well, it was very nice for her to say that but I'm not going."

Marjory resumed her letter-writing at the desk, but she kept one eye on her sister.
Nan stared gloomily out of the window for several minutes, then she tried to read a
magazine which was lying on the table. At last she threw it down and bit viciously
into a chocolate.

mn

"Marjory, I think you are the meanest thing I ever saw to get me into this. Who
did you say was going to take me in?"

"Mr. Havisham Cyril Havisham."

"I've never even met him. Does he ever come here?"

"Yes. You have never met more than about six of my friends, you know. When-
ever any one is here, you and Don always retire to the upper part of the house. He is as
nice as he can be. Nan; has the reputation of being a lady-killer. He is so different from
the boys you have been used to going with, that I know you will like him, if only for
the change."

"But what will I talk to him about? I will be frightened to death. Does he
play golf?"

"No, he never touches golf or tennis, and he doesn't skate or do any of those things.
He says he would have to be over his ears in love with a girl before he could get up
enough energy to play with her. But we could plan what to talk about beforehand."

"All right, then, you pretend like you're the lady-killing Cyril, and I'll be Miss
Nan Holmes. "

"Well, let's see, what will he be likely to say? Oh, yes, he'll say, 'How do you
like being out of school. Miss Holmes?' "

"I don't like it at all. It is so much more fun to be there with all of the girls "

"How perfectly horrid! For the reputation of the family. Nan, say something
better than that."

"Oh, it is perfectly charming to be at home. I never felt like I really knew mother
and dear Marjory before this year."

"That's splendid. 'I believe your sister told me that you would make you
this winter?'

"No, I'm not going "

"Can't you be a little more mild? "

"Certainly, I can be anything. 'I really don't know, I haven't decided yet.
say that, I'll have to cross my fingers."

"It's a perfectly inane remark anyway, I hope you won't say it."

9i

"What if he doesn't say any of these things? Wouldn't it be perfectly horrible if
he shouldn't?"

"He will, though; at least, he will be likely to. I don't know what elese he
might start. Oh, of course he will speak of the weather; how could I have for-
gotten that?"

"Yes, I think I could intelligently discuss the weather in all its different phases
without a rehearsal. But, Marjory, if there is an awful break in this unusually interest-
ing stream of talk what under the sun am I to say? So far I have only answered his
questions, you know."

"Why, " Marjory looked about vaguely, as if seeking inspiration, until her glance
rested on the bookcase. "Why er talk about books."

Nan stood up.

"Thank you," she said, "you have certainly helped me. I shall ask him, like a
thunderbolt out of a clear sky, if he has read George Eliot's latest."

She looked out of the window, her back toward Marjory. She was laughing.

"Marjory, I haven't said I would go to your old party yet, but I will, on one
condition. That is if you will let me wear that string of pearls mother gave you the
other day."

Marjory gasped. "O Nan! I have never worn them myself yet."

"I know it. But I adore those pearls."

"Well, take them then," she sighed.

Nan smiled like a cherub, and nibbled a chocolate.

II

Nan stood by the wmdow with Marjory for a moment before dinner.

"I'll be even with you yet for getting me into this. I can't for the hfe of me
remember one syllable of the conversation we rehearsed, and I memorized it word for
word too. I hope the great Cyril isn't a very vicious-looking creature ; if he will only
start me off right, maybe I can go on like a graphophone and remember."

"O Nan, dear, you look too lovely in that dress, it suits you exactly. I thought at
first that you needed more of an evening dress, but this is informal and you're so young.

92

T

^^^4!
M

Don't be afraid; if you forget what we decided would be the proper things to say just
talk about anything in that line, you know. I don't suppose you will say anything very
dreadful. Here is Mr. Havisham, now, coming across the room with Mrs. March.

He stood before them, tall, with fair hair and blue eyes wide-open blue eyes
and was presented.

When he had spoken the usual commonplaces to Nan, he turned to Marjory with
a smile

"And how are you to-night? I want to talk to you after dinner, if those other people
will not monopolize you too much. I never can get a word with you."

At that moment dinner was announced. He led Nan in, and sat beside her, his head
towering above hers. Nan looked doubtfully at his clearly defined profile out of the
corner of her eye. He was so much taller, so much broader, so much larger in every way
than she had expected, that he made her feel small. She had never felt small before, and
she did not like the sensation it took away her self-confidence, even the little that had
remained

She tasted her oysters. How she would have enjoyed them last winter, during her
boarding-school days! It was so different now.

Something must be said. The fatal moment had come, she was alone with this man,
this strange man who would not speak alone in a crowd. If she had really been alone
with him she thought she might have found something to say, but she had a queer feeling
that e\ery one was watching her. She knew that Marjory and Mrs. March were.

At last he turned toward her, and smiled. He had a nice smile, but Nan hated
him for it

"He thinks I'm nothing but an infant without an idea in my head," she said to
herself "It is true, too, I haven't an idea. "

"How do you like being out of school. Miss Holmes? Have you had a nice time
this winter?"

Nan heaved a sigh of relief. At last, and it was exactly the right thing ! She met
Marjory's eyes and smiled contentedly.

"Yes, I have had a lovely time here at home, doing as I please, and Marjory and
mother have been so good to me. But I do miss every one at school."

I IM^

"You graduated last year?"

"Yes. Oh, I would go back if I could. "

"I thought your sister told me you would make your debut this winter."

"No." Nan felt that it was wiser to be silent about that, even at the risk of stop-
ping the conversation, since Marjory had expressed herself so strongly on that point.

The conversation lagged.

"Isn't this weather splendid?"

"Yes." Nan stifled a hysterical giggle. It had rained the day before.

There was a pause ; it lengthened into a silence. The soup plates were taken away
and the fish was brought in. Then came the horrible break in the conversation which
Nan had feared.

She glanced around wildly. Marjory was talking gayly to two men. Well, she
was not like Marjory; she would not have wanted to talk to the man on her left even if she
could. She looked at him; he was bald and wore glasses, and talked spasmodically to
the lady beside him. She glanced at Mr. Havisham. He looked politely bored. Nan
made a desperate plunge.

"Have you er " she remembered what she had said about George Eliot's book,
and smiled at him. He liked the smile; there was something so frank, almost childlike,
about it.

"Have you golfed much, or skated, lately?" She was on her own ground now,
anyway.

"No, I have never taken much interest in those things, though I think they are fine
for one. I suppose it is because I am too lazy. Horrible fault, isn't it? Your sister
tells me that you devote most of your time to out-door sport.

"Yes, I like it so much better than anything else I could do.

He leaned toward her. "Miss Holmes, why don't you go out with your sister more?
We are not such a stupid lot as you think. You could stop it afterwards, if you wanted
to, but I think you might give us a trial; you are hardly fair, you know."
Nan looked at him with terrified eyes.
"Oh, you mustn't say that."
"What?"

m

He would think she was an idiot. She laughed. "We didn't know you were going
to say that."

"What do you mean? Who?"

"Well, you see I ought not to tell you, it is too absurd I didn't want to come at
all to-night, but Marjory had accepted the invitation for me. And I had no idea what
you were like, or what to say to you, so Marjory and I made up what I should talk to you
about, and we never thought of your saying that. You had done beautifully up to that
last question," she smiled at him again.

Cyril Havisham looked first utterly astonished, then he laughed. He laughed so
long and so loud that some one across the table wanted to hear the joke. At last he
turned again to Nan.

"But you can answer that without your sister, can't you?"

"Certainly I can. But they would think it horrid for me to say it."

"I won't think it is horrid."

"Well, then, it is simply because I don't want to. I think it is dreadfully stupid to
do nothing but play bridge, and go to dinners and dances, and make calls. I had rather
be perfectly free to go only with the people I really like, even if some of them are 'infants,'
as Marjory calls them. If I led the life Marjory leads I would not have time for the
things I like now."

Marjory looked across at Nan several times; they were talking all the time. Cyril
Havisham looked anything but bored; indeed, he looked vastly more entertained than she
had ever seen him look before.

As the women rose to leave the fable, Havisham detained Nan.

"And you will really let me go skating with you in the morning?"

"Of course."

"What time shall I come over?"

Nan considered a moment.

"I may as well 'do it up brown,' " she thought, "and it will be such fun to te
Marjory." Then aloud, "At half-past six o'clock. I always skate before breakfast."

He watched her as she left the room.

"I'll be there Circe." E. ToWERS.

WHAT'S THE USE?

Very wise and learned folks this maxim

I've heard speak
"School days are the happiest" their

Brains must have a leak
Trying strenous college life for

Quite a lonesome while.
Makes you really wonder if there's

Ayiything worth while.
Working fifteen hours a day, and

Living on hard tack.
Hearing dry statistics all about

The Nation's lack.
Makes the crying need of all the

Ages seem to be
Ought to be some mighty changes

Out at A. S. C.

What's the use of grinding knowledge

No-one ever sees?
If we ever graduate, we do it by

"Degrees. "
What's the use of gomg to breakfast

When you're always late?
What's the use of boys hanging round

The campus gate?
What's the use of doing all these mighty

Stunts in crams
If you use a pony, he will throw

You on exams.
Biggest freaks are always those

Who think they know a lot
So what's the use of wasting time

Out here at Agnes Scott?

Chorus
For What's the

Use in learning forty-'leven lessons
If to-morrow brings still more?
Oh what's the use in people's using
Concentration when study's such a bore?
Oh what's the use in always turning
In at 'leven, if alarm clock rings at four?
With higher education
And ten hour recitation
As a pleasant recreation.
What's the use?

97

n

I

What's the use of going to Wiley's

When you've got no dough?
Or being asked to parties, where

They know you have no beau?
What's the use of going to town?

Restrictions follow fast!
What's the use of being good? Exec.

Gets you at last!
What's the use of breathing, when this

Life is such a strain?
What's the use of always singing

With the same refrain?
What's the use of coming here and

Trying to make hits?
When we wake to-morrow, for our

Breakfast ther'll be grits?

Scene: A long hall poorly illumined by one dim electric light. Rows of trunks
may be seen lining either wall of the three corridors which meet at the light. Outside a
north wind is blowing; inside all is still except for an occasional faint whisper. The city
clock m the distance strikes eleven.

Slowly a figure appears from the black shadows of the corridor on the left. It is a
young girl wrapped in a long coat. Quietly she walks under the light and goes to a
flight of stairs which lead to an upper story. She stops at the foot and reaches out for a
wire hidden in the dark shadows. She pulls this vigorously several times. The loud
clang of an alarm breaks the night silence, and reluctantly a motley throng of kimono'd
figures assembles under the light. A throng whose variegated raiment would rival Joseph's
coat, and who have no equal in the hair-dressing line. The captain orders the lieutenants
to march their men down the stairs, and as they pass by she can hear murmurs of "I'm so
cold!" or "I'll get even with you for making me come out this cold night!"

She then turns to the fire brigade, who are slinging extinguishers and other imple-
ments of war in all directions: "The fire is in No. 17!" And away the chief rushes
with her men. Extinguishers are flourished and buckets jostled up and down.

"Say, I think your men need a little cold water on their eyes more than the fire
does!" A laugh ensues and the brigade runs down the hall to put their apparatus away,
while the rescued throngs come up the steps angrily murmuring. Their receding footsteps
are followed by the imperative "Sh-sh-sh" of the hall president.

So drops the curtain on the fire brigade.

THE GREATER AGNES SCOTT

all

O the Class of 1910 fell the honor of announcing through the SILHOUETTE of

that year the successful outcome of the famous campaign of November, 1909,

carried through so triumphantly by the citizens of Atlanta and Decatur, for

the development and endowment of the "Greater Agnes Scott." If -we of 1911

envied them their opportunity then, we all the more appreciate our privilege now of

putting on record the first tangible results of that great movement, a movement in which

we like to feel that we had a real, if not a financially great, part. We count ourselves

peculiarly fortunate to have been here during this period of unprecedented growth; to

have seen the beginning and the completion of the three splendid new buildmgs opened in

1911; and to have welcomed with eager interest the increase of the faculty and the

broadening of the curriculum; to have seen, in short, what we earnestly believe to be but

the commencement of the great era of expansion upon which our Alma Mater is now

entering.

We wish, therefore, to claim and set apart a few pages of the SILHOUETTE of 1911
in honor of "The Greater Agnes Scott." And first, we will record in brief descriptions
our impressions of the new buildings.

THE JENNIE D. INMAN HALL

This building is the gift of our beloved friend, "Atlanta's First Citizen," Mr. Samuel
M. Inman, being a memorial to his deceased wife. It is impressive in its architecture, and
is especialy harmonious as a companion dormitory hall to our old favorite abode, Rebekah
Scott Hall. Those of us who love "R. S. H." (and who does not?) are glad to note
the same beautiful mission oak panelling in the new lobby, hallways, reception rooms,
and stairways; and we feel that Inman Hall is to prove a formidable future rival of
Rebekah Scott in popularity. Its commanding presence on the east side of the campus
has completely changed old familiar scenes; and we sometimes wonder if we are dreaming,
or if the "Arbuckle House" and the tennis courts have really been swept out of knowl-
edge and so replaced.

1)9

Standing on the south side of the Quadrangle, upon the former site of "West Lawn, "
is the new Library, beautiful without and within, "a joy forever." When we were first
allowed to step under the massive stone archway and pass through the marble-tiled
vestibule into the main reading-room, we realized the substantial meaning of "Greater
Agnes Scott" more forcefully than ever before. The graceful columns, supporting the
gothic arches of the lofty oak-beamed ceiling; the long muUioned windows, almost
ecclesiastical in effect; the exquisite panelling; the great fireplaces and mantles; all
unite to produce an atmosphere typically scholastic and wonderfully satisfying. Nor has
beauty alone been studied in the construction of the building; everything speaks of utility
as well. There is an alluring magazine room, and there are dehghtful little private studies
whose low ceilmgs and leaded windows combine to spell "coziness" in every detail; while
the abundant wall shelves of the main hall, and the gallery stack space for over twenty
thousand books, remind us that this is a Carnegie library, having its own special endow-

120

Few colleges for women have the sciences better provided for than has Agnes
Scott in the new Lowry Science Hall. In its four-square architectural solidity it stands
as verily for the practical culture of Science as does the more graceful Library Hall for
the aesthetic culture of Letters. It is a splendid workshop, destmed, under the newly
reorganized curriculum, to swarm with activity in all the departments which it is to house.
Lecture-rooms and laboratories for Chemistry, Physics, Biology, and Geology occupy
its four stories. There are store-rooms galore, photographic dark-rooms, a beautiful
vivarium, a sky-lit geological museum, besides many other details beyond the compre-
hension of those of us who have labored through our scientific courses in the old Science
Hall, whose appointments seem now so meager by comparison. This building is named in
honor of Colonel and Mrs. Robert J. Lowry, of Atlanta, who have perpetually endowed
it in memory of their son, Edwin Markham Lowry.

But these material additions to our plant are by no means all that we of 1911
have the honor of recording. True to its policy of constant advance in educational lines,
Agnes Scott has moved forward within the year proportionately in the reorganizing and
broadening of the curriculum. Two professors have been added to the Departments of
Physics and Biology respectively, and one to the Department of History and Sociology;
the Department of Bible and Philosophy has been placed upon a separate endowment
basis, "The George W. Scott Memorial Foundation;" two entirely new Departments
have been created. Theoretical Music and Home Economics; while new instructors
have been added to various departments. Probably no other Southern college can show
so great progress within so short a period.

The recounting of these improvements makes our hearts burn with pride and with
regret: pride in an Alma Mater so glorious, and regret that we must pass out from her
halls just at the dawn of her greater era. But we shall watch her progress with joy ; and
as the years go by, we know that we shall see her ideals of life and her standards of
scholarship dominant throughout our beloved Southland.

"Are you going to the wedding?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"Haven't anything to wear."

Have you ever heard the foregoing answer to the foregoing question? Maybe so
and maybe not. At any rate, it had no place in the conversation prevalent before the
wedding which took place Saturday night, November twenty-first, nineteen hundred and
ten, in the Agnes Scott Gymnasium-

This conversation sounded rr.o: e like th:s:

"Going to the wedding?"

"Yeah."

"What you going to wear?"

"Haven't decided yet, but do you think a coffee-colored lace waist with a blue
linen skirt, tan stockings and black shoes would do, with a red bandanna around my
waist and a pink bow at my neck?" and so an interesting discussion would ensue, a dis-
cussion of colors and contrasts and combinations.

As you may have already guessed, the eventful and much discussed wedding was
a tacky wedding, with tacky observers, tacky decorations, tacky pianist, tacky soloist,
tacky participants and far be it from me to ever sap such a thing, but a tacky bride !

The soloist gowned charmingly in Paris' best purple and red lace, with a coiffeur
wonderfully original and startling rendered most touchingly that tenderest of songs,
"I Love You Truly."

And then followed those lovely, but nerve-racking, strains of Mendelssohn, and
following the strains of Mendelssohn, the bridal party! Maybe the preacher was im-
pressive; the bride, happy; the groom, proud; the bridesmaids, beautiful; the grooms-
men, handsome, and the flower girls cute "maybe they were, but I doubt it."

After the s-w-e-e-t ceremony, in which the groom was betrothed to the bride as
"crush" for life, and rash promises about darning and getting up laundry and "Jaxon
treats" were taken and given, the wedding ended in a grand march a grand finale if
vou prefer the word in which the tacky observers joined.

ATHLETICS

HE saying, "All the world loves a lover," can be changed, without losing any
of its force, into, "All the college world loves athletics."

Athletics holds a very important place in every college and this year
there has been more interest demonstrated at Agnes Scott than ever before.
The athletic department has been organized with a president and secretary and treasurer.
This department includes basket-ball, as well as the three clubs of tennis, hockey and
baseball. A silver cup is to be presented to the class team that proves itself to be cham-
pion in the hotly-contested games of basket-ball. Besides this, the tennis tournament to
be held here in the spring is looked forward to with great interest. Baseball, with Mr.
Johnson as coach, is an innovation at Agnes Scott, but the girls have entered this new
field of athletics with their usual zest.

Next year we intend to add to our list that of fencing. Thus, year by year, at
Agnes Scott we intend to make more of that important factor of all college life, athletics!

GRINDS

A little lass from Michigan,

Whose initials were H. B.,
In the year of 1911

Came down to A. S. C.
And every night, the story goes.

To R. S. H. she went ;
In room 1 7 she found her queen,

Ah ! then she was content.

A bonny lad with spirits gay.

Out of the West came he.
With khaki suit, sombrero hat

To teach at A. S. C.
Voice, it was his specialty.

But his talent stopped not there
On horseback he was superfine.

At tennis pretty fair;
And he could play at basket-ball.

As baseball coach was rare.
Alas! these now are least of all

He loves a lady fair !

There was a young man named "Arm,
Who was smitten with wild alarm

When the editor-in-chief

To him did speak
Of writing for the SILHOUETTE.

But bravely his pen did he take.
And great were the thoughts he did shape.
As "Arm" his mind
To the task did bind
Of writing for the Silhouette.
138

EXEC

Every Monday there's a meeting,

They say it's called "exec,"
Their chief object seems the seeking

Culprits numbered by the peck.
Down the stairs the marshal treading.

The victims hither lead,
Where, before the tyrants dreading.

The captive does not dare to plead.

Down in the lobby

Hear that moaning wail ;
"Exec" has had a little meeting

Restriction is the same old tale.

Our poor Freshie went a-shopping,
Alas, she went alone;

"Exec" informed her she was shocking-
She failed to take a chaperone.

Two long weeks she now is spending
Out at Agnes Scott,

While with shame her head is bending
All because she just forgot.

Out on the campus

Hear that awful groan.
Little Freshie is a-weeping

She didn't have a chaperone.

WAY DOWN AT AGNES SCOTT

Some folks say that slang is "passe"
Way down, way down here at Agnes,

But, really, here 'tis quite "classe"

Way down, way down here at Agnes.

Now, first, we start by "catching" a meal

Early, early in the morning.
Then we "hike it" at the bells loud peal

To eight A. M. classes going.

To flunk here is our daily fate.

What oh, what can be the reason.

Because we "boned" six hours too late.
Awfully, awfully out of season.

To the gym. we go with pesky tread.
Croaking, croaking for its duty.

But there we hobble with measured tread,
Developing physical beauty.

Best of all we chase to the store
Just over the way to Jaxon's

'Tis there we relieve our sense of bore.
That's all we do at Jaxon's.

We pump our friends, we shoot the "Prof-
Way down, way down here at Agnes

But the killing part comes when we get shot.
Way down, way down here at Agnes.

mm.

And has anybody here heard the rising-bell,

B E double L, be!
And has anybody here heard the rising bell
Ringing down the hall?
It rings very loud
And it rings very long.
And it rings and sings the same old song,
"Get up, get up, get up, get up," says the bell.

I dream't that I dwealt in marble halls
With vassals and serfs at my side.
"Your time to sweep!" a loud voice calls
"That's the eight-twenty bell," she cried.

And has anybody here heard the rising bell,

B E double L, bell.
And has anybody here heard the rising bell.
Ringing down the hall?
If you only sleep
You'll wake to weep
For you must always ever sweep.
And has anybody here heard the rioing-bell.
That early morning call?

Margaret Brown has learned a new and very becoming way to arrange her hair.
Evidently Dr. Hammond didn't think so, for when he looked at the wide white ribbon
which covered the front of her hair, he asked,

"Are you one of the sick ones?"
No," answered Margaret, "I'm a Freshman."

J. D. : "Say, CoHe, did any one go to that recital?"
E. C. : "Think I heard the organ going."

H. B. : "Come, Lidie, let's go to the Coed. '

First girl to second, who had just made some brilliant remarks,
"Oh, that ought to go in the Angora\"

Y. M. : "Helen, what are you doing? "

H. B. : "Standmg on the car waiting for Nunnally's corner to go by."

Miss Young: "A zone in geometry is similar to a zone of the earth, what zone
do we live in? "

M. A. : "Anartic zone."

Miss Smith: "Oh, girls, I certainly beg your pardon! And I've a confession to
make I'm two minutes late to class!"

Irregular: "Miss McKinney, why can't I be regular? I'll make up Math next
summer or take it next fall. "

Miss McKinney: "We don't deal in futures."

Dr. Sweet: "This walk leading from Inman Hall is certainly a straight and
narrow way; but it is paved with cinders!"
