Hunt Violin Marion Bucher Librarian AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE is beautifully situated on one side of the Georgia Railroad (see Genesis 1:25), whose trains have a remarkably regular schedule, never in all the glorious history of the institution having once failed to pass during prayers, chapel, or song recital. The campus is quite unique among campuses. It is adorned with green trees, grass which one must not tread upon in the spring and twelve imposing buildings. The first building to meet one's eye after one has J undergone the terrors of the underpass is a large structure made of red brick topped by the famous tower which one may not ascend in body, but which has nevertheless made many a Freshman's spirit soar into the realms of poetry. The effect of the whole is sufficiently impressive to render this building worthy to contain the "powers that be," the telephone and several of the torture chambers. Above these, for two stories, people live and still higher up they sing and paint. When Miss Hopkins makes an announcement she calls the place "Agnes Scott Hall," but we ourselves can never picture it by any other name than "Main Building." Hung to one side of this construction by means of the far-famed colonnacie is that superficial adjunct of Higher Learning a place to eat and sleep Rebekah Scott Hall. It is piously constructed in the form of a cross, with dainty little Juliet balconies really meant to be fire-escapes, hung to the sides. On the ground floor is the great assembly hall of the multitude when they sing songs and pray prayers the chapel. There are the Society halls, where you have to sing for twelve days in two weeks and then one night you listen to debates. J bi^.,^ sii^holjet^t^e: On the other side of the campus is Re- bekah's hated rival, Inman Hall. She is younger than Rebekah and very beautiful and much beloved. She has made a home for many celebrities in the past and still con- tinues to do so wit- ness the illustrious Mary Cox. Far back of the other buildings, off to one side of the cam- pus, as if it were ashamed of all the trouble it has caused girlkind, the container of some of the worst torture chambers and the Tea Room, is a building known as Lowry Science Hall. Here in the interest of science have the noblest of our college women fought, bled and died. There glowers in peace the horrible skeleton and far up on the roof, As- tronomy classes (in ages past) had a clear view of the starstud- ded sky. Far down be- low, under old pendu- lums and torsion ap- paratus is that haven of refuge from the wiles of Sir William and the Day Pupils' one solid comfort 3IJUH o u e: T^TT e: the Tea Room. Fannie and Alartha are the High Priests. Last and worst of all, the House of Hor- rors, the final fate of us all-, where the young grow' old, and the old, grey-headed, the tor- ture chamber of Eng- lish XI and History I, and more just like them the Last Ag- ony, being the Car- ,negie Library;theview from the windows of this structurebeingvery attractive to the unfor- tunate mortal who is three weeks behind on her History notes. And the campus well, it's just some- thing to write poetry about, to stroll on and have plays on in the springtime and above everything else to love. And even if you do work us to death.

UST as travelers climbing some high mountain as they approach the top, turn and gaze down upon the precipitous slopes that but a short while ago they have passed so laboriously over, we, the Class of 19 16, as we near the summit of our aspirations, turn and look back over the way we have come. It has been a hard climb and at times the road has been steep and difficult, but there were many pleasant places and many kind hands that helped us along the way. It is September, 191 2. Through the gate come timid Freshmen, hesitating as they enter the campus thronging with life and excitement, and the youthful joy of meeting. We wondered then if we, too, would ever "belong" so assuredly. But seized and borne along on a wave of kindness and good fellowship, we were given such a hearty welcome that there really was a place for us. Only a few weeks of this and the call came to mobilize the Sophomores had commenced hostilities. With our hair in pig-tails, tied in green ribbon, opening doors to the knobs of which molasses had previously been applied, brushing our teeth with brushes to which quinine stubbornly adhered, our life was full of daily harassments; but we caught the college spirit and became a class. In November came investiture day and watching the Seniors as they put on the insignia of their rank, the cap and gown, our hearts sank within us and the way seemed long indeed. This was our first glimpse of the summit to which we were climbing. It is the year 1913-14; we are old girls. We at last "belong." We welcome the Freshmen with open cordiality but with secret condescension. In the fight we are now the aggressors, aroused by muffled alarm clocks at two o'clock on a Monday morning. The Freshmen have gone peacefully to bed that Sabbath night suspecting no danger we sally out, masked, armed with flashlights, "black-hands" and Wesson's oil; we steal through the halls. Perhaps it was this fight that prepared us to win the cham- pionship in basket-ball which we carried off so gloriously that year. Lessons which to the Freshmen had been a dreaded burden and the chief thought 3ILHOIjrE:T--rE: of life, were now only something of a bore for "skilled in all the craft of bluffing, learned in all the art of cramming," gayly we romped through our Sophomore year. Nineteen-fourteen-fifteen how time does fly! But we have not for- gotten how we felt that morning as we took our places in chapel opposite the Seniors. There was now a sense of responsibility. The summit was in sight. With what dignity did we hold aloof for the first time from the Freshmen-Sophomore fight, only a sisterly council advising the Freshmen. Study now took on a new meaning. There was a more real pursuit of knowledge than when impelled by Freshman fear of flunking or Sopho- more's careless skinning through. And now it is the year of 1916! We have put on the insignia of our rank and move demurely but consciously about our duties attired in a cap and gown. The Freshmen let us pass first; we may be late to meals, having arisen late from burning our Senior lights. There are Senior parties, Senior privileges, hard work, but encouragement from the faculty. Oh, but it's great on the summit! There is a freer atmosphere and a wider viewpoint and commencement well, it is not the end of things, but just the commencement!

Shining, spectacular, scornful and sage Subtly satiric, sublimely sophistical Sophiert, salient, superior Sophs! Those fond and foolish seasons how soon gone! Changed are our hopes, our viewpoints, all our aims A larger vision and ice hope more true Forms our perspective, molds our Heart's Desire How dear and ever dearer have we grown All seventeen and then the years to come We'll trace the path together, hand in hand Up to the goal, and ichen at last we reach The great wide-open gate, we'll pause apace And realize that true comradeship Has formed us for the icorld that is beyond. India Hunt, '17 nr SILHOUETTTE I|]^ OInnqufst of tl|f Ollass of IBIZ NCE upon a time, not so very long ago, there dwelled in the wonderful Land of Youth seventy-three charming maidens. Now, you must know that for many years these maidens lived in undisturbed happiness and peace in this land and never once thought of other countries to be con- quered. Upon their peacefulness there came like a bolt from the blue the cry "To Arms! Go to the Land of Agnes Scott and conquer." Ammunition and supplies (pictures of loving friends, sofa- pillows, chafing-dishes) were gathered and soon the invading host descended upon the unsuspecting Land of Agnes Scott. This band of seventy-three seemed to take the land by storm. The inhabitants of the land were overwhelmed and the invaders swarmed everywhere. The inhabitants entertained the invaders right royally. "Arbitration" was on every tongue, but not so with the invaders; they had come to conquer, and conquer they would. The first was with a very renowned troop, the Admission Committee. Three could not stand against seventy-three; finally numbers prevailed. Agnes Scott Land became des- perate. It seemed that the Army of Youth had come to stay. The Sophomores attacked at night and for a day and night the battle raged and raged until Chief Hopkins raised a flag of truce. A treaty was signed and the Invaders were admitted to the full citizenship of the land. They were to be no longer Aliens, but Freshmen. These Freshmen Immediately began to love this new land and were not at all loathe to call it home. They entered Into the activities of the country which was now their place of abode. They adjusted themselves to the singular rule, Student Government. Patriotism of the most patriotic kind beat In every breast and every Freshman was only too glad to say "My Agnes Scott." So all tolled together. Again a strange foreboding of evil broke the peace of Agnes Scott Land. Newcomb Land challenged her rights and to a girl these Agnes Scott people rose to arms. Cries of "We will win" filled the air and win they did! Agnes Scott was twenty-five years old and the loyal Inhabitants decided silhouetttte: to do her honor. Such a celebration the College World has never again seen ! People gathered from far and near and all united in singing the praises of this wonderful land. A year passed. The humble Freshmen had worked well; they had passed with merit. Therefore they were admitted to the next class of the Land of Agnes Scott. The new title was assumed by the little band and It was these very same Sophomores who conquered the next Army of the Land of Youth and compelled it to dwell In the land, not as conquerers, but as conquered. Another year rolled 'round. Again faithfulness and desert were rewarded. Behold the JUNIORS! As yet the newspapers contained no reports of disturbances in this well-ordered land. These Juniors, It is reported, are the best Juniors Agnes Scott Land has ever known. How- ever, there Is no need to laud the mighty for their deeds are recorded In the annals of history. Day after day they work and play; and each day brings them nearer the goal. At the close of each day they are nearer the position of alumnae, the nobility of the Land of Agnes Scott.

SIL^I-iOUET^T^E: YES, we were just as green as all of the Freshmen classes before us; just as homesick; just as lost. We bought chapel seats and laundry slips we were marshalled over the campus by Sophomores and told of the wonders of the College a librarian whose name is "Bucher" and a night watchman with the name of "Star." They showed us the main entrance to Agnes Scott Hall and with the greatest delight announced that Freshmen weren't allowed to enter by that door, never once insinuating that all the students were debarred the use of that entrance. Then came the "Y. W." and society parties, the trips to the tea room and dates to go walking. We were being "rushed," you see, with results that might have been disastrous if we had been allowed to remain in our self- important attitudes very long, but the news of the Great Fight soon put away all feelings of self, and brought class spirit in their stead. So far, we had been exactly like all the other Freshmen classes that had been to Agnes Scott before us, but the time then came when the Class of Nineteen Eighteen began to assert its individuality. This was brought about by offering such resistance in the Sophomore-Freshmen Fight as to make it necessary for the Faculty to decree that such a custom should no longer be, so the enmity was put down and the peace pipes gi\'en out (not smoked, however!). Then came the ordeal of adaptation in all the phases of College Life, so strange and new to the Freshmen. The horrors of long study hours and exams we went through with, coming out feeling more capable of meeting the duties of the next semester. During this term we were able to give more time to the pleasanter sides of College Life. We were initiated into being hostesses at a George Washington Party given to the Juniors in the Tea Room, and this was followed late in the spring by a tea given on the campus to the whole school. Athletics were taken up with such a vim that we came out with the championship in basket-ball and one of the winners of the cup given for "doubles" in the tennis tournament belonged to the Freshman Class. And now we're Sophomores; not as strong in numbers, but back with the same old spirit. This fall we did the selling of chapel seats, and we told the Freshmen what they could and could not do, with variations at Sei-enty-scven sil^houet^tte: each recital, I'm afraid. Instead of the hand-to-hand fight with the new girls, we inaugurated a new method of deciding the championship which we hope the succeeding Freshmen and Sophomore Classes will follow from year to year. We challenged the Freshmen to a contest of wits which we thought more appropriate than a fist fight for college girls. After a desperate struggle we succeeded in winning the bronze cat, the prize for victory, and which next fall we hope to hand down to the Class of Nine- teen Twenty.

Eiffhty-two silhouet^tte: SOMETIMES during the first three days of the opening of college, ninety-six Freshmen stepped off the Decatur car and looked dismally around for something labelled Agnes Scott. They were confronted by a tunnel. It wasn't particularly encouraging so for some minutes the whole group stood there and wondered fearfully what was going to happen next. Some of the more adventurous ones suddenly decided that Agnes Scott might be on the other side and they ventured forward. The whole company followed. Agnes Scott was there exactly as they had imagined and the tunnel wasn't really an entrance. There were gates! If they imagined that they had achieved something in overcoming the tunnel difficulty, they were yet to be enlightened concerning their prowess over committees. They fearfully informed the Committee on Admission that they had had Physics. The committee was firm. They must produce note books or they would receive no credit. They implored that they be allowed to take History I. The committee persisted in showing them into Chemistry I. They subsided very much subdued after that. Because they could find their way through a discouraging looking tunnel was no reason why they could conquer a formidable Committee on Admission. Of course, after such dampening interviews there were bound to be tears. The culmination came one night when Laura Ellis was found sitting on her trunks in Inman literally bathed in them. "She didn't like committees and she hated student government and her Kewpie had lost his shirt!" This last was irreparable. She could not be reconciled to her fate when she was ushered into Ruth Anderson's room and introduced to her extensive family of Kewpies. It was not until a certain night in November, just after the Sophomore rules went into effect, that the Freshmen Class realized that it was a class. It was when Mary May issued the startling news between gasps that Laura had been seized by the Sophomores and dosed with castor oil. About sixty indignant Freshmen were roused and they all assembled In one room. Some were in curl papers and others In boudoir caps, but they were all there for the purpose of standing up for Laura. She was little, her pink kimona had been ruined with castor oil and they would fight for her till the bitter end. Miss Hopkins prevented further hostilities but sil^houetttte: the incident had served Its purpose. The Freshman Class had begun to unite. That was just the beginning. It has become a very loyal little band since then for It staunchly supports Frankle and the basket-ball team. It has become very wise. It has learned how to face two boards of examination questions without flinching and It has culled a knowledge of the mysteries of athletic dancing and of the dreadful consequences of "three failures to register." But more than anything, the class of nine- teen-nlneteen has caught something of the Agnes Scott spirit and It Is try- ing to fulfill the Ideals of the college In making this class the most splendid In Agnes Scott.

It has pervaded the campus since the beginning of the session; it has meant innovation and organization and accomplishment, and has brought with it the inspiration and the cheer that comes with healthy achieving. It is not a concrete thing that we can lay our fingers on and define and illustrate; it is a feeling, an atmosphere of effort and aspiration, a lofty, energetic, free-breathing spirit that conceives and plans and acts. It has not been a struggle for personal glory, but a serious effort for the good of the college. There is not a branch of college activity that has not been affected by it, and if there is a girl who has not felt it, we all hope that, for her own sake, she will keep the secret. It has not, even on the side of originating and organizing, been confined to a few leading personalities; it has been diffused through the whole institution in an eagerness to do. Those who were active before are doubly enthusiastic and many who never entered into work for the general good have waked into action. The faculty has helped and suggested and advised as only the faculty can, and the students have stood together, without dissension, and done their best for Agnes Scott. It is hard to turn from the thought of the general spirit to point to the definite things which it has accomplished, for they are only a begin- ning, and, full as the list may seem, each of us hopes that it is only an indi- cation of what will be in the years to come. This year marks the beginning of the membership of Agnes Scott in the Woman's Inter-Collegiate Association of Student Government. Our entrance into this organization has brought us into close practical contact with the finest woman's colleges in the country, and has given us the oppor- tunity to discuss with them our problems of student government. It has given us a feeling of common striving and sisterhood with colleges larger and older than we are, and, what may prove still more important, it will give them the same feeling toward us we have known for a long time that we are a Class A college, but the outside world still needs waking up. Another connection with activities outside of the college was estab- lished when the French Club became a branch of the Atlanta section of the Alliance Francaise. Our connection with the Alliance not only gives 3 IL H o iLJ :E:rrTE: --ti us the opportunity to attend its meetings and hear its lecturers, but also affiliates us with a nation-wide organization. Great enthusiasm was aroused over the publication of Agnes Scott's first weekly paper. The Agonistic reports all the local happenings, leaving The Aurora free to be a purely literary magazine, and giving to the college community and to those of the public who are interested a fresh account of what we are doing. It is another step toward putting the college on a larger scale. Besides these evidences of expansion is the intensive side of the move- ment, which was shown in the formation of three honorary organizations, each drawing its members from the student-body at large, and each with a definite aim for the development of the college. The first of these was the Dramatic Club. The literary societies waived in its favor their custom of giving annual plays, and the college has in the Black Friars an organization about which its dramatic activities center, and which has for its avowed purpose the fostering of histrionic talent, the encouragement of the study of the drama, and the presentation of the best dramatic entertainment within its power. Soon aferwards was formed the B. O. Z., a writers' club, drawing its members from the best literary material of the college. It is a new stimulus to creative effort, and is striving to form an atmosphere that will honor and encourage literary achievement. As a natural culmination to these varied activities, came the forming of Hoasc. It is the supreme honorary organization of the college, and elects its members from those who have achieved in the best interests of the college along any line of college activity. It is the incarnation of the spirit that has grown up on the campus, and it works untiringly for "a greater Agnes Scott." All in all, the session of nineteen fifteen and sixteen has been, we hope, a year that has made history at Agnes Scott, a year that we who are here will ahvays look back upon with pride, and that those who come after us will use as a stepping stone in the building of an ever greater, nobler.

A. of Agnes Scott stands for the highest and best in young womanhood, for the truest sort of college loyalty, and, more than all else, for the glory of God. The organization has always been strong and has, since its founding in 1906, accomplished much good, some of which can be seen, but a great part of which is the in- tangible, everyday "being." If during this year we have been able as members of Y. W. C. A. to carry on the torch of light we are glad; to those who shall come after us we commend the high ideals and really unselfish interests for which our association stands, as worthy of their serious devotion with mind and heart and strength. Some of the red letter days we shall remember as we look back over 1 91 6 are: Sunday, December twelfth, when Dr. Gaines preached in the college chapel on "Personal Salvation;" Miss Hawes' stay of six days in February; the visit of Mrs. Stephens, our "Agnes Scott missionary" in China; the day we had almost a hundred little children from Atlanta out for a Christmas tree; and all the days of Jubilee, from February first to March third, when the Fiftieth Birthday Anniversary of the world Y. W. C. A. was celebrated. Our hearts are thankful for the many good things that have come into our lives this year from Him who said, "I am come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly." O. M.

Eoati of iFrt?n^li| l^^artB ^ jVIID the purple haze of an early June twilight, as it deep- I ened around the looming grandeur of Hightop, Grey- beard and Pisgah, there began in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains a wonderful pilgrimage, which after ten days of preparation, of study and of play, there in the midst of the handiwork of the Great Naturalist, was to spread itself north, south, east and west. A pilgrimage the earnest followers of which, at the call of their leader, chose to set their feet in the path which widens into the Road of Friendly Hearts and has as its goal the Land of Happiness and Joy. And what of the Pilgrims who were undertaking this journey? They went forth joyous and unafraid, each bearing with herself those qualities which are the distinguishing works of the true follower and seeker after the high and noble things of Life; Good Judgment, bearing in its train that discriminating power so necessary as one travels along the way; Enthusiasm expressing itself ever in the forms of Joyousness and Love toward all fellow- beings; the Spirit of Ex- pectancy and above all a Friendly Heart. Is it to be wondered then, that they grasped eagerly at every opportunity, however small and insignificant, that they might thereby find an outlet for the expression of their gratitude and joy in living a Life of Service? And is it to be wondered, that to them Life offered greater depths than ever before into which one might delve? The milestones by which their progress was marked stood out clearly. Before leaving Individual Preparation in the distance, they had prepared the soil of their hearts favorably for the growth of both Ferns and Roses; "Road of Friendly Hearts" i I One Thirteen SILHOLJETTTrE: a thing at which one may arrive only by the fusion of inner and outer ex- periences; by an incorporation into one's being of the vital truths which are to be obtained through the mental and physical exercises of one's faculties. And then, with the deepening of the Altruistic Principle in their lives, they learned to know the value and recognize the opportunities offered in every friendship. (The friendly rivalry exhibited in tests of physical endurance served but to make firmer the ties of friendship.) Having, therefore, turned their attention first to the preparation of themselves, they were ready for the coming of Knowledge and this they gathered as they sat at the feet of teachers both learned and wise a Knowledge which broadens their concept of the world by an acquaintance with the powers and working forces therein. And so training themselves spiritually and physically, they came to the end of the days of preparation, wonderfully grateful that it had been given to them there among the mountain toDS to find this broader vision of Life, which lies along the Road of Friendly Hearts. f^' One Fourteen 3iLH[OLJE:nn7E: RIDAY afternoon, November 5, 1915, a joyful band left to attend the Students' Missionary League and Y. W. C. A. Convention at Cox College. After counting heads to see if we were all there, we boarded the car for the long ride out to Cox. Such thrills of anticipation! Quite a good many giggles resulted when some of our number insisted on getting off at Ft. McPherson, mistaking it for Cox. How glad they were they had not, thou, when they found what a royal welcome awaited us at our rightful destination. No girls could have been more cordial to us than those at Cox. We were borne in on a Avave of good fellowship and cheers. That night the first service, after an address of welcome by Dr. Porter, was conducted by Dr. O. E. Brown, of Vanderbilt. In the fol- lowing days, besides reports of the various Y. M. and Y. W. C. A.'s, we listened to messages from Mr. Murray, Educational Secretary of the Student Volunteer Movement; Rev. Young, of Emory Univer- sity; Dr. Thornwell Jacobs, of Oglethorpe University; Dr. Plato Durham, of Emory University, and others. Not one of us but felt how fortunate we were to hear these interesting speakers and wished every girl from Agnes Scott could have had the same oppor- tunity. Moreover the coming into contact with other young people, numbers of whom were de- voting their lives to Christ, gave us a wider vision and made us feel the scope of the missionary movement. Lots of good times were mixed in with the more serious business of the conference. There was a luncheon given to the delegates by the college, a reception Saturday night, and a concert Sunday afternoon. Every intermission was a small reception where you met people of every degree of interest. r"- 3iL^HOUE:TrnrE: The closing service Sunday night, in which members told of the in- spiration they had received from the meetings and their plans for future work, was ended by us all joining hands in a circle and singing, "Blest be the tie that binds." Then, indeed, we felt we were all members of a vast family, and as each of us went away to bring back the message to our respective colleges, we felt that we went, not alone, but with the sympathy of all. 3iLHOUE:nn:^E: j Ora M.

We expect our Annual, however, to find its way into the hands of those who, though they know our col- lege only through rumor, are interested in all that vitally affects her life and growth. To some of us, then, the following will but refresh our memories by repetition, while it may be the expositor of inter- esting facts to "whomsoever it may concern." To Newcomb belongs the credit for having conceived the idea that a yearly forensic contest with another college of her rank would be to both colleges concerned a benefit in many ways. For many years this college had, like Tulane, been interested in debating, and had in this field achieved quite a degree of success. Our own college had for several years held yearly an inter-society debate, between our two literary so- cieties, but this was up until 1914 her only interest along that line. Ac- cordingly, when Newcomb, through Mr. Heller, chairman of the debating council of Tulane University, communicated her plans to us we were both interested and excited. Would such a step be wise? Was it expedient from every point of view? We felt that it was, and wired to Newcomb our willingness to enter with her into this relation. The question was by the contract to be selected by Agnes Scott; the side to be chosen by Newcomb. In a few weeks a committee had sent Newcomb the following question: "Resolved, that the United States government should acquire and operate the telegraph system," and New- comb chose as her side the negative. Our debaters were chosen by the process of elimination. In each literary society debates were held, two girls being chosen from each team that debated, and these debated in turn with two others chosen in the same way, until in each society two had been selected as the champions. Then the two societies pitted their strength and from this battle a com- mittee from the faculty chose Mary Helen Schneider and Emma Jones, with Margarite Wells as alternate. In Newcomb, where the first debate was held, Agnes Scott held up the affirmative to the satisfaction of the judges and was declared victor- ious. The following year on home ground with Kate Richardson and Mary Helen Schneider as her debaters and Ruth Cofer as alternate, she One Twenty-one silhotljet^tte: repeated her record of the past year and again gained a unanimous deci- sion in her favor, having upheld the affirmative of the following question : "Resolved, that the United States should require of every able-bodied male citizen between the ages of eighteen and thirty, one year's military service in the army." In this year she will debate her old rival under still different cir- cumstances. An invitation from the Southern Association of College Women will bring the two colleges on neutral ground in Montgomery, Alabama. The question has been chosen : "Resolved, that the United States should acquire and operate a merchant marine." Hard work and the end of April will settle the duty of the government along this line. I believe neither one of the two colleges would debate, both having decided views in favor of the affirmative, that inter-collegiate debates between women's colleges are beneficial. This we find to be true first because they arouse a greater spirit of loyalty for our own college, and second because they arouse interest in and love for our sister college, thus making toward the creation of that broad vision that is the rightful heritage of every college woman.

President Mary Spottswood Payne, 2 a * Secretary Maryellen Harvey, [- ^ One Forty-two SILHOlLJETnTEl T IS a pleasant thing to look from a lofty eminence back upon the steep and difficult road which we have traveled, and there will always be a certain satisfaction in contem- plating obstacles overcome, achievements accomplished. And so, to the daughters of Agnes Scott College there will always remain the heritage of retrospect to give them courage for the scaling of the heights that are yet to be attained by their beloved Alma Mater. Probably no other Southern institution has so remarkable a record of progress within the past twenty-six years as has that one to which we have all given our best al- '"""'^^i^^^ legiance. Founded in the ^^^i;;;:;^ ~ "^^^ year 1889, as a prepara- ll^, 1 tory school, known as --.''iM "The Decatur Female Seminary," it was originally housed, with all its faculty of four teachers and its en- tire student body, in a rented building, standing where the present Agnes Scott Hall now lifts its familiar tower. This build- ing, now removed to another part of the campus, we know as "The White House," that most useful adjunct of the Inman Hall. Financially, the institution was as modest as in its equipment, having funds to the amount of five thousand dollars only. That the college should have risen from this obscure beginning so that, within a quarter of a century, it has come to be one of the officially recognized standard institutions for women in this country, is little short of marvelous. Indeed, if the making of something great out of nothing whatever of material worth, be not marvelous, to what sort of achievement shall we apply the term? And this is what has taken place very literally in the case of the making of Agnes Scott College. There is no better example to be found among our American colleges of the literal materializing of faith in God and lofty educational ideals. When we look now at the campus we all love so well, with its eighteen buildings, so massive and per- manent as many of them are, seeming to the undergraduate to have been of necessity a part of the landscape from the beginning of all things, One Foitij-three SILHOXJE^TnTK: we are constrained to marvel, and pride fills our hearts, at the thought that all this is but the material, visible result of a dream dreamed six and twenty years since by him who is still our honored President. It was a dream of the college that now is that led Dr. Gaines to pro- ject originally "The Decatur Female Seminary," and never once in all the years of discouragement and trial did he and those noble men and women associated with him falter in their faith in the college that was to be. It is not saying too much to assert that it was this faith, and this alone, that bore fruit in the making of Agnes Scott. It was this sublime faith, in the presence of apparently insuperable obstacles, that attracted the attention and finally the loving and generous financial aid which brought into exist- ence Agnes Scott Hall, the gift of that noble benefactor of the college. Colonel George W. Scott. It was faith in the future possibilities of the young institution that led the family of Colonel Scott to built later Rebekah Scott Hall, a faith inspired by that of our President, and strengthened by the evident power of it to produce great things. It was the infusion of the same faith into the heart of Mr. Samuel Martin Inman that resulted in that true friend's gift of Inman Hall. It was largely due to the faith of the good people of Atlanta in Mr. Inman and his be- liefs that the famous campaign of 1909 for the raising of $350,000 was brought to a successful completion. And so came Lowry Hall, the Carnegie Library, and many other additions and improvements, until the present material equipment, valued at three-quarters of a million, was completed. But the dream was not only of material accomplishment. There was another and a greater thing to be achieved, the scholastic recognition of the institution. Nothing but the steady adherence to the ideal for which the old Seminary was established, plus the fine courage that sometimes comes from the consciousness of being right, succeeded in winning for the college at last the hardest fight of all. It is an interesting story, but time and space forbid it to be told here. Suffice it to say, that, along with the increase of the material equipment and endowment, came also recognition, until the college was, some years since, ranked by the United States Bureau of Education among the twelve colleges for women in this country assigned to Division One of Ameri- can colleges. This would seem a fair realization of the faith of the founders, but there is always yet the dream! Even now the college is looking forward to greater things for the not too distant future; and, as we look back over the road we have traveled, we feel some touch of the faith that has brought great things for our Alma Mater in the other years, and our hearts tell us that, come what may, Agnes Scott is still going forward, ever towards the perfect realization of the dream of six and twenty years ago.

Ere the hearts of men had lost their child- like faith In spirits and in witchcraft and in magic When the first chill breath of autumn filled the air And turned the leaves all gold and brown and red, Then came the holy All Saint's Eve The time, when prixy people danced and played with men. The woods were filled with tiny, fairy folk. Strange spirits hied them to the haunts of men ; The dead rose up and left their shadowy homes. And the long night passed away in revelry. For then the hearts of men were young and gay The Druid people loved the things unseen And called them from dark haunts to keep the feast And pass the long, long night in revelry. DRUID MAIDENS O then from out the villages and towns From out the houses of both rich and poor Sly maidens steal with eager, hurried step Into the glory of the autumn wood With barley seed and nuts and grain and fruit. All sorts of things to please a ghostly fancy They bring to tempt the spirits from their homes. To dance and play with mortals thru the night. GNOMES Among the top-most branches of the trees Three joyous gnomes await the magic hour; They spy the maidens and the nuts and grain. And laughing soon take on a human guise And lightly dance before the wondering maids And tell their future from bright leaves outspread. Then with small brushes and with pots of gold. They quickly gild the leaves which until now The colors of bright autumn have refused. And shivering stand still in their garb of green ; They make the ground all clean and fresh and neat, .^nd straighten every branch into its place Then snatching up the harvest offerings They hie them Quickly on to other tasks.

Majestic in the circle of the light The kindly spirit of ripe grain appears With generous armfuls and with food abundant To hoard them long, dark, winter days. From her the maidens beg a generous har- vest And blessings on the hoard and on the hearth. She gives the richest of her ripening grain And promises of bounty she bestows. SPIRIT OF THE SEA From all the juices of the seed and grape With trembling hands the maidens brew pure ale. And fill a goblet brimming full and call Upon the imprisoned spirit of the sea.

Enraged, Ceres begins a fruitless search for her daughter, with which the Cantata opens. Disappointment and rage combine in causing the dread curse of death and desolation pronounced by Ceres upon all living, growing things, so long as Pluto holds Proserpina captive. The Pussy-willows, first heralds of spring, dare to disobey the curse, and burst forth their golden fringes, but are promptly banished by Ceres. Next, the first spring flowers are nipped in the bud by the frost elves whom Ceres summoned. But the little sun-fays, heralding the sure approach of spring, revive the flowers, and their glad refrain brings Proserpina back to the world of living things and to Ceres, whose joy is expressed by the tout ensemble in "All Hail to Spring, the Joyous Spring." i L silhotljettte: M^ ^t ^ntU Jranrats OFFICERS Jeannette Victor Margaret Phythian President Treasurer One Fifty-four 3iLFiOUE:Tn^E: P^tl^agnr^an Club Motto : B' OFFICERS Malinda Roberts President Isabel Dew Fice-Pi-esidetit Georgiana White Secretary and Treasurer MEMBERS Julia Abbott Adele Bize Dorothy Bullock Margaret Brown Imogene Brown Laura Cooper Isabel Dew Lucy Durr Mary Freeman Margaret Fain Shirley Fairley Hattie Mae Finney Katherine Godbee Frances Glasgow Lois Grier GoLDiE Ham Rosa Haynes LuLiE Harris Frankie McKee Mary Brock Mallard Nina Murrah Dorothy Mitchell ^Iargaret Miller Dorothy Moore Ruth Nisbet Malinda Roberts Mary Glenn Roberts Lulu Smith Bessie Smith Katherine Seay Julia Lake Skinner Alberta Thomas Dorothy Thigpen Alice Weatherly Sarah Webster Vallie Young White Georgiana White Martha Young Magara Waldron Leila Johnson Margaret Leech Katherine Holtzclaw FACULTY MEMBERS Miss Anna Young Miss Amy F.

Nov. .5tli. Yesterday morning at twelve o'clock the annual investi- ture of the Senior Class, in the in- signia of its rank took place in the chapel. The Board of Trustees was present and the crowd was the largest that has ever assembled for this occasion. Faculty Makes Good Show. In robes of state, the Faculty marched down an aisle formed by the Sophomores. Next in the pro- cession came the Seniors, forming a large semi-circle on the platform. Here, places were reserved for the President, Dean and honorary members of the Senior Class. After a few words from Dr. Gaines, Miss Markley gave a beau- tiful address to the Seniors on "The College Girls' True Vision." Mr. J. K. Orr, President of the Board of Trustees, also made a few appropriate remarks. There was a striking and im- pressive scene when each mem- ber of that large class knelt be- fore the Dean to be invested with the academic cap, the badge of scholarship, which first made the Freshmen realize the goal for which they were striving. It was not without a touch of sadness that the student body fol- lowed the academic procession from the chapel, singing the best of "Alma Maters." GREAT ONE-DAY FAIR. A. S. C. Has Prominent Place in Parade. Nov. 10th (Dec. special to usi To-day the Great DeKalb County Fair was held in Decatur with its usual attendant circumstances: crowds of people, farmers, mer- chants, boys and girls, squealing children, popcorn, balloons and noisy tricks of every description. The streets were lined with wait- ing spectators long before the ap- pointed time. The Agnes Scott student body marched in groups of State Clubs, and the A. S. C. float headed the procession. It repre- sented Music, Science, Art, His- tory and Literature. A large seal, made of purple and white, was sur- rounded by pretty girls in costume. These were dressed in flowing robes of various colors. The pa- rade soon disbanded and Decatur was given over to wild enjoyment. /MISS AC//ES MD THE V/MLy PAPER PASSED BY N.'^TIONAL BOARD! What? Dancing? Young (?) Gym., who has for- merly been shunned and avoided as much as possible, has recently become immensely popular. This wonderful reaction came about on account of dancing's having pass- ed the National Board of Censor- ship: young ladies are allowed to participate in these delightful va- riations of Terpsichorean art, so long as they are not in the slight- est degree improper. As a result, we hear from seven for a while every night the strains of "Pigeon Walks," etc. Although a brass band is not available, there is a piano in use which at least resem- bles a tin band. So with laughter and joy let us "trip it as we go, on the light fantastic toe," and we are On with the dance! AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE HON- ORED. We have been very much inter- ested in the report of Miss Ray Harvison, who was sent from A. S. C. to Cleveland as a delegate to the Conference of the National As- sociation of Student Governments. She came back enthusiastic with the news that we were full mem- bers of this association and en- titled to all its privileges. This is a great honor, for it means that we are one of the first colleges in the land, and rank with the best. Miss Harvison was royally enter- tained and. she, in her turn, inter- ested them by her Southern slurs and tales of our Southland tales which mostly centered about Agnes Scott. SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST. For one week the Sophomores ruled with a rod of iron and at their name every Freshman turned pale and fled. They issued their rules and regulations, whereby a Freshman must say "Jliss" to Seniors: must rise and stand in the presence of all above them ; age iDefore beauty (or youth) was her maxim; night fear and daily re- buffs led Freshes to a state of re- venge they were made to perform manual and mental labor, to suffer being campused and restriction when the rules were broken. Then after the Reign of Terror the Sophs sent a challenge to the verdant class to meet them in a Contest of Wits, on the night of October 16. Great was the excite- ment and mysterious the whisper- ings behind locked doors. Eaves- dropping usually ended in a pitcher of water dropped through the transom on someone's head. The Night! Finally the night arrived. The Freshmen stunts were given first in the form of "Follies of 1919." They were exceedingly funny, but the Sophomore Vaudette put it over on them. All the stunts were spiced by local bets, and the shots fell fast and heavy. The Black Cat is now in the pos- session of the Sophomore Class. THE LAST AGONY. THRILLING TRIAL ON 2ND FLOOR INMAN. Miss Nancy Sizer Charged With Atrocious Crime of "Moving Slowly." 2nd Floor Inman, Feb. 1st, 1915. There was a called meeting of the "Black Chapter" of Inman Hall to-night in Miss Black's room, No. 27, for the purpose of trying Miss Sizer for her heinous crime. Judge Black presided as usual. Miss Doll Bullock acted as prosecuting attor- ney and Miss Fan Oliver as defend- ant. A very select jury was com- posed ot Misses Lucy Durr, Dor- othy Thigpen and Ruth Anderson. Miss Sizer has been considered a person of high moral standard, formerly acting as censor of the before mentioned chapter and an honored representative of Exec. However, strong evidence was given by Miss Virginia Allen. This was that Miss Allen had been ex- tremely late to chapel several times lately and every time she had been accompanied by the accused. Circumstantial evidence was strong against her. The honored jury found that Miss Sizer was usually deliberate and had thus caused serious inconvenience to many of her friends. The defendant appealed power- fully to the emotions of the jury and the decision hung in the bal- ance till one neglected point was brought out, namely, that the ac- cused had at the nightly meeting in Miss Black's room burnt the toast-saving morsel and scorched the "sulubrious Van Garlic" cream- ed chicken. This we know to be due to her sad propensity to move slowly. Such a crime cannot be pardoned. Verdict Guilty. The verdict was promptly brought in; the prisoner was at once pronounced guilty. Miss Sizer is now taking running exercises every day under the supervision of Sheriff Anderson; an occasional walk to Atlanta and daily races with "Country" Thig- pen, the "swift of foot." This pun- ishment will not cease until Examiner Durr pronounces her as swift of body as of mind. DR. GAINES GRATIFIED. Much to the delight of President Gaines, the State Clubs have be- come much more prominent this year. An epidemic of meetings has twice been reported and sev- eral parties have developed. The girls hope that regular meetings will continue to be reported and that much fame and name will fall to the college on account ot them. EXPLOSION IN LAZY ROUTINE. Three Persons Killed Outright and Several Severely Injured by New Faculty Movement this Semester. The student life at A. S. C. has been rocking along lazily and quite satisfactorily for a great many years. According to the parties concerned there were no signs of trouble from the girls when the beginning of a lecture was missed. The faculty, however, openly de- nounce this liberal view and drop- ped a bomb to the following effect: "We, the faculty, have resolved that being intensely interested in our girls' welfare, and not wish- ing them to lose any of the val- uable knowledge which we are able to give them, shall consider as a cut from class, three of the fre- quent unexcused tardies, thereby lowering the grade of the student an entire letter." Action Criticised. This action has been very much criticised and while we hope the explosion was unintentional, still the faculty, as a whole, must be held responsible for many fatal injuries. WELCOME TO NEW MEMBERS. The new faculty members, Dr. McCain, Dr. Hill, Miss Stocking, Miss Black and Miss Gooch are cordially welcomed by the faculty and student body of Agnes Scott College. Every one has been ex- ceedingly pleased with the work they have so far accomplished and congratulate them on continuing to hold the students up to this stan- dard. It is said, by the school at large, that it is to be hoped these new brooms won't sweep too clean about Exam. time. GEORGIA STUDENTS MEET AT AUDITORIUM. On Oct. 22, pictures of Georgia products were shown at the Atlanta Auditorium. Students from every available source were present to cheer for the state which Is play- ing foster mother to them. A. S. C. showed great interest in the pictures and also in other interest- ing specimens in the building. It was noticed that Georgia Tech and Georgia Military Academy were also there, displaying a very creditable amount ot enthusiasm. It might be added here that Tech increased its school property to a great extent first, by a huge amount of admiration from "Miss Agnes" and second, by an Agnes Scott pennant. LIGHTS AFTER 10 P. M. A SENIOR PRIVILEGE. No Studying With Them at Night Says Senior Class. Heretofore it has been granted to underclassmen to use the Senior "saving" lights. The privilege has been greatly appreciated, but also greatly abused. Through self-pro- tection, alone, were the upper- classmen driven to take a decisive step and refuse continuance of an old custom. The resolution was passed on at the last meeting of this august body before the Christ- mas holiday season and presented to the school. Attitude of School Good. Seeing the wisdom of the de- cision and not really desiring sleep- less nights, pallet beds and "knocks," the students as a whole congratulated the Seniors on their move, but thanked them for their kind endurance of former times. LEAP YEAR DANCE. The Leap Year Dance given In the gym on the night of January eighth proved a most enjoyable af- fair, not only for those who actually took part in it, but for the specta- tors as well. An Interested crowd watched the "boys," clad in clothes which defy description, being rush- ed by the many girl stags. Music, furnished by an Atlanta pianist, and refreshments, consisting of water ices, helped make the even- ing pass so quickly that "Home, Sweet Home" came all too soon, and caused the girls to look for- ward most eagerly to the number of other dances scheduled. LARGE ATTENDANCE AT PLAT- FORM MEETINGS HELD BY MISS HAWES. None of us will soon forget the visit of Miss Hawes and Miss Young. Besides giving us so much pleasure by permitting us to be the hostesses of such charming guests, they have left us helpful messages which will always linger in our memories. All of us have fallen in love with our secretaries and are eagerly waiting for their return again, sometime in the future. Miss Hawes began her talks on Wednesday evening at seven o'clock. In such a clear, helpful and interesting way she told us of the great need of the world, a sense of the nearness and presence of God. This being her first talk it was somewhat in the form of an introduction to the series of meet- ings which were held on the suc- ceeding nights. THE LAST AGONY. Tp Xbe (ximgao's ^Mi SOCIETY.

Such a stunning tea gown as I saw in the parlor last Saturday night. There was a sleeveless jacket of Chinese blue velvet that was caught over the shoulders with tiny straps. These straps were bound around the arm to the elbow. Here drapery of grey chiffon was caught with antique gold and jade ornaments. The little jacket tapered off in the back into a long knotted train. This was lined with burnt orange. The lace folds com- posing the skirt rippled from a high waist line and extended to the ribbon binding of the pretty slippers. This gown can be easily copied. Apply to me on second floor Main Building, and I will gladly help you. When classes were again under- taken after the holidays everything looked boney. The poor girls have done nothing but bone regular epidemic started by Profs. They have had nothing but bones bathed in gravy to nourish their wasted bodies and from all ac- counts on 22nd of Jan., looked like bones. A very just criticism is, that this state of affairs is pretty bad for society in a young ladies school! Helen Hughes is principal of a country school in Virginia. Madie Ward is principal of a country school in Alabama. Stuart Sanderson is resuming her studies at the University of Mississippi. Olga Theisen is a lady of leisure. FRIVOLOUS LIFE AT A. S. C. Durham, N. C, .Jan. .5 Miss Mar- garet Leyburn of this city has re- cently been at home with her par- ents for a two week's visit. She is doing light (?) work at Agnes Scott College this year.

If a girl would practice what her roommate preaches there would be fewer grounds for do- mestic quarrel. 2. It is easy to see through peo- ple who are always making spec- tacles of themselves. 3. A girl's praise of her crush is never interesting to other girls. 4. Flunking is as certain as col- lege is uncertain. 5. Never argue with a man who talks aloud; you can do nothing with him. 6. When a French teacher pass- es you, you've either succeeded in bluffing her or tiring her. THE LAST AGONY. E:voi_u"r I o n of" /K FRESHMAN OUR LITTLE ONES. Dear Aunt Anna I am a pretty little girl.

The tree was lar- ger and more beautifully decor- ated than last year's, and although there were more children this time, there were toys, nuts, fruits, and ice-cream cones galore for each little boy and girl. Dr. Armistead played the important role of Santa Claus, and caused many little hearts to flutter with excitement when he read out a name and hand- ed a doll or a drum to every little girl or boy. Everybody enjoyed the fun, but the "girls" had the best time of all. Every one was agreeably sur- prised by parties in both dining- rooms Friday, the seventeenth. Each table was adorned with a Christmas tree, and candles gave a soft glow to all the room. There were all sorts of good things to eat. The party in Rebekah was enliven- ed by horns, drums, and all kinds of "noise makers," which Miss Phi procured with a generous check sent for that purpose by her cousin, Mr. Neeley, of Waynesboro, Ga. Every one gave cheers and sang songs and had a good time generally. The Junior Carnival. On Saturday, December 11th, the Juniors gave a nickel I ?) carnival. There were some wonderful shows the Turkish Dancers, a Negro Minstrel, the Freaks, and a Modern Cinderella. There were candy booths, ice-cream cone stands, and a mysterious Gypsy Fortune-Teller, while rubber balloons sold by the Clown added to the hubbub and made the carnival spirit more evi- dent. "Come one, come all, Saturday night to the big Concert. Male Chorus Thirty Voices. Under the auspices of Alumnae Association." This was the poster tacked up on the bulletin board for a whole week. Well, maybe the girls have been as anxious for a time to come as they were for that Saturday night to arrive, but it's hard to be- lieve. Who was it said "Anticipa- tion is greater than realization?" At any rate they did not know what they were talking about, be- cause those who attended enjoyed it thoroughly. Else why did they call the quartette back so often? Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving proved to be a gala day for the girls at Agnes Scott. It was just crammed full of enjoy- ment. After the excitement of the basket-ball games In the morning, they had ample time to relax and enjoy the "home-boxes" before starting in town for the afternoon. For once they returned earlier than necessary to adorn themselves for the night's festivities. Dinner was served at six-thirty in regular Thanksgiving style, after which everyone was ready to adjourn to the chapel to witness "The Klep- tomaniac" given by the Dramatic Club. In its rendition, the club certainly gave proof of its "raison d'etre" for the performance was most creditable. Happy Alley Dinner Party. The inhabitants of Happy Alley, or the Third Floor Back, entertain- ed themselves and each other on the evening of December 20 with a charming dinner party. Those en- joying the hospitality were: Misses Claude Dunson, Elizabeth West, Emma Katherine Anderson, Martha Whitner. Imogene Brown, Sarah Patton, Julia Anderson, Jane Har- well, Ruth Lowe, and Samille Lowe. The first course, served by Miss Emma Katherine Anderson, consisted of grape-fruit, decorated with red cherries and seasoned, ac- cording to taste, with sugar or salt. The place cards were hand-painted Kewpies, hurriedly done on that afternoon by the hostess. Then the spoons were washed, the bell rung, and cream tomato soup with toast were served across the hall by Misses Samille and Ruth Lowe. The soup dishes were handsome jelly glasses. Then the third course was served by Misses Julia Anderson and Jane Harwell in their boudoir. The chicken a la king and the beaten biscuit (from Kamper's) were delicious. The dishes were handsome "papier mache" plates from Kress'. Misses Imogene Brown and Sarah Patton next served a delightful fruit salad with blanched almonds in it. Crackers and sandwiches with creamed cheese were greatly enjoy- ed. The last course was served by Misses Claude Dunson and Eliza- beth West and consisted of de- licious ambrosia and red cherries (previously poured out of the win- dow, recovered and carefully wash- ed). With the ambrosia was served angel-food cake. All the guests were beautifully gowned in evening robes and en- joyed themselves hilariously. THE BUDGET SYSTEM. New System Great Help to All College Activities. Here's a chance for the popu- larity of treasureship to increase! For years it did not pay to be too friendly with the collectors for the different organizations, nor was it wise to be seen by one when the home check arrived. The ready question was sprung, "Have you paid your dues?" Even the pleas- ures of your anticipated trip to At- lanta could not dispel the coldness of duty which is the heartless treasurer's weapon. She must have her money! Without funds how can any business be carried on? Here, too, is a chance for the wearied busy sign to rest. How many of us do not madly scribble an "Extremely Busy" notice and pin it to the door, when the class president or the editor of a publi- cation has urged collection? We plead our defense by saying, "We have no money." This is true in the sense that we have none for just that identical particular fee, which comes at a time when we least expect it. Would it not be better to let "Dad" pay all the com- pulsory ones, and let us forget the workings and worries of the stu- dent activities? Dr. Guy fully agrees with us in this. Thursday morning in chapel he distributed small white cards on which the dues were itemized as follows: Student Government dues and expenses connected with the Inter-coUegiate debate $ 1.00 The Agonistic 1.50 The Aurora 100 The Silhouette 3.00 Y. W. C. A. dues 1.00 Society dues 2.00 Athletic dues 50 $10.00 The estimated expenses, if work- ed out by the lump scheme, are much lower if paid individually to each body. From sad experience Dr. Guy has learned of the disagreeableness of the collector's duty, and tells us that you can not retain your popu- larity and people's money at the same time. Girls, Is there any reason why we can't work the Budget System at Agnes Scott? Many college wrinkles will be smoothed out, and our undertakings simplified. Sign up! Let's all "precipitate" in this new movement. THE LAST AGONY. Sports (Not many around here, except on Saturday Nights.) VARSITY CHOSEN GOOD TEAM ON HAND. Mrs. Parry is being congratulated as to her choice of the Varsity team. Every member is excellent in her position and well deserves her letters. SOPHOMORES WIN CHAMPION- SHIP. In a marvelous battle the Sophs won over the Juniors, and thereby gained the championship. The games are now at an end and everybody expected this outcome. The Sophomores are indeed ter- rors. This was no run-away, how- ever. At times they were really ap- prehensive. Each team had its fol- lowers in the last game and excite- ment beforehand was near the point of explosion. Spirit Was Tlnere. Scores. Game 1. Seniors, Juniors, Sophs, 17 Fresh, 12 Game 2. Seniors, 1 Juniors, 16 Sophs, 14 Fresh, 20 Game 3. Sophs, 10 Fresh, 9 Final Game. Sophs.

It is not yet known who will be staged against her, but dope has it that "Kid" Ware or "Hefty" McKee will be engaged. So far betting is about even. GREAT EXCITEMENT IN RACES. Much excitement prevailed in the races yesterday when "Tongue" Whips ended one lap ahead of "Re- liable" Freeman. It was a close race and the enthusiasm was mon- strous! It has been a season of surprises as "Speedy" Stoops was disqualified early in the game. This triumph won the Vanderbilt cup and a prize for Jockey Glenn. PLAY BALL. Manager Hood has been ex- ceedingly alert in getting a good baseball team for the fans this season. After much hot wiring "Highpocket" White has been land- ed for $5,000 per year. How about saving some enthu- siasm and starting out for Tennis early? It has often been said: "The early bird catches the worm." We believe it. SPECIAL NOTICE. All Tennis enthusiasts will be glad to hear that the Tennis De- partment is preparing to remake court No. 2 and probably have some new courts built. Thanks due to Mr. Johnson and the Treasurer. BASKET-BALL. Basket-ball at A. S. C. All that she's cracked up to be Sound her praise far and near Kindle hearts for she's been here. Euded is this term at last. Tearful eyes have seen her pass. But our hearts with praises free All unite with thoughts of thee Let your memory and your cheer Last until you come next year. THE TENNIS TOURNAMENT. The tennis tournament is now ready to open. The lots have been drawn and the lists posted. Some luck, tool Don't be discouraged novice if you've drawn an old 'vet,' because you never can tell sur- prises have always come up at the last. So, read the new rules, keep on practicing and use a little will power along with good service. Have you heard about the new letters? Well, they certainly are worth looking for. Designs are now being made and we're working to give the winners the best pos- sible, and so that we'll be sure to please everybody we've decided that the winner in the tennis singles may have her choice between a silver loving cup and a good-look- ing racquet. So, don't be afraid of hitting the balls too hard. If you break your racquet you may get a better new one so you should worry. FIELD MEET. Did you ever see as much spirit over a field meet as we have this year? Why, I went to Junior gym the other night and I could hardly get in the door. The Fresh and Sophs are out "strong," too. They are all glad because the dances, games and floor work are going to be used now, they think they have a chance. Teams for each class have been picked and only the best will be on the floor. This will be the best meet we've ever had and no matter who gets the most points we know that the least best this year will equal the very best we've ever had before. SWIMMING. If you want to be a hit at the sea shore this summer here's your chance. The swimming pool Is filled with both water and girls and the swimming is great. If you can already swim you can get a little practice and exercise; and if you don't know how to swim, you may be taught contrary to general opinion; diving is possible and fancy swimming has even been tried by the skilled few. You may imagine the pool is a regular place of social gathering. If these attractions fail to draw you, my friend, remember that swimming is good for the increasing as well as the decreasing of avoir dupois. THE CAMPUS. The Sociology I class has open- ed our eyes to the papers on the campus and has given us a very vivid description of the danger of leaving the remains of feasts in the way of the stray Decatur dogs. There is just one thing that we should like to add, "don't walk on the grass." Xow, we know that our campus grass is not the kind that you read about in poetry; in- deed it is still very embryonic, but still it is grass. About this time of the year it begins to recover from all the severe burning that it has endured, and comes up and asks for a chance to grow. Of course, it is much easier to cut across from Rebekah Scott to the Library, but if we would just remember and follow the walks, we would do away with the ugly path and the back campus would be very much im- proved. Let's try to remember how much better a grassy campus looks than a streaked one and one all checked by paths, and go a little out of our way to help make our campus the kind we can be proud of. SUIT CASE TAGS. Have you ever noticed what a distinctive air a Tech pennant gives to a Tech student's suit case? Don't you want to be just as distinguish- ed looking? Then buy one of the little suit case tags being sold by Mary Bryan in Inman, Charis Hood in Rebekah, and Alma Buchanan in Main. They are attractive and only cost 5 cents, and if a thousand of these are sold the Seniors will add $i50 to their empty coffers. Think it over and buy one.

Lackuffsense Business IVlanager Lackuffcents Officers Two's Company, Three's a Crowd. CLEANLINESS, YES BUT WHY UNDER THE TRUNKS? Since there is no sound lest there be some one to hear, why should that theorj' work in the matter of dirt? Why, if it is not seen, should there he dirt? Is there, working on that hypothesis, any reason why we should not be allowed to sweep the soil of days behind the trunks which line our stately halls? We will admit that it would not seem wise to use those articles of com- fort and joy the bed and the bu- reau, of covers of sins, for theirs is the noble function of aiding the body in its daily habits or waking and sleeping. Again we may add that the rug is not the proper ar- ticle for the concealment of loose "terra" but we will say that since the trunk is not used daily, or at least, is not of constant use, nor with the range of vision as one sits either on the bed or stands before the bureau, there would seem no adequate reason why it should not be used as a dust concealer. Many is the woman who has broken her back, her beauty, her youth over the dust-pan. Must we, college women, young, beautiful, of intellectual trend, stoop to such menial and back-breaking tasks? Whv should men who know noth- ing of such things force us into such actions? We would by all means, forward the movement to "keep the bed- room spotless;" we would by all means suggest the co-operation of all students in this worthy task, but we would also suggest, that since the trunk is not within the place of habitation, nor is the hall wherein stays the trunks, the place of habitation (except, perhaps, when the lights have grown dim, therefore the eyesight is dimmed, also) then that elevated portion of woodwork covered by the trunk is the proper place for those particles swept daily from the room. Cleanliness, yes but why under the trunks? PROFESSIONAL CARDS. PREPAREDNESS. As a paper of good repute, we wish first and always to stand for that which is right, and now we have come to a place where we, as a free American people must stand upon our own feet and show our righteous indignation I We have heard of preparedness in every form, we hear it in the fire alarm bell which clangs forth in the mystic hours; we write it upon quires of "Test" paper, we smell it on the electric-toaster are we, then, a people who believe and practice that motto of Prepared- ness, to allow such outrageous oversight remain unseen as that which is under our very eyes? Can we, will we tolerate such careless- ness as we have evinced on the part of our noble army of laundry women? Why should we have such a number of pins placed in our skirts, our waists, our very middy blouses? Only this morning a very sad example of this barbarous practice of "pin pulling" was seen tra- versing the ancient campus walks at the hour of 7:27. Alas, are we come to such a state that our very sisters must go breakfastless, our very roommates must fall victim to this dreadful outrage? As a stu- dent body, is it necessary that we attain that "lean and hungry look of a Cassius" because of this un- preparedness? Let us be prepared! Down with the Pins we prepare no plaits I THE SINKING OF LA FRANCAISE PREIVIIERE. News of another disaster reach- ed us recently in which many lives were lost in a most horrible man- ner.

On the evening of Monday, Sep- tember twenty-first, the new girls were given the exquisite pleasure of a trip West. The tickets were quaint blue affairs bearing an in- scription to this effect: "The Panama-Pacific Exposition, con- ducted by Mnemosynean Literary Society. Admit One." The north entrance of Rebekah Scott was the far-famed "Tower of .Jewels," and in the vestibule was the revolving gate, presided over by Miss Vallie Young White. On the right, as one entered, was the "Joy Zone," where Mademoiselles Eleanor Crabtree, Gladys Gaines, and Marguerite Shambaugh portrayed by their faces the hitherto untold agonies which they endured as the wives of the demon Blue Beard. Lest the travelers become unduly hilarious, they were torn away from the "Joy Zone" and taken to the "Side-Show," where they were per- mitted to see "Mutt and Jeff" (Misses Louise Ware and Augusta Skeen), the "Court of Spring," the "Fat Lady" (Miss Elizabeth Riley), the "Old Mill," a most touching pantomine entitled "Help the Blind," and a "Great Swimming Match." By way of refreshment after their long, tiresome Journey across the continent, the tourists were led into the "Orpheum Theater," where the "Pink Lady" (Miss Marie Ship- pen) most graciously served punch from a table decorated in quantities of goldenrod. After a brief sojourn in the "American Court," the travelers reached their destination in the "Italian Garden," where favors, "Bob-o-Links" engraved with "M. L. S." and strung on blue and yellow ribbons, were given, and where re- freshments were served by Misses Willie Belle Jackson and Laurie Caldwell in Italian peasant cos- tumes. P. L. S. The Freshmen had hardly stop- ped rubbing their eyes from the eifects of all their other dissipa- tions when a little green-and- white message announced that the Propyleans wanted them at a Prom Tuesday night. So that meant another "dolled-up" time, and that evening one could see loads of girls, new and old, "promming" in and out of the green-and-white so- ciety hall, past a punch bowl set in a huge white water-lily, into real "Gates of Knowledge" with vines and red roses growing all over it, and out on the wide veranda where Japanese lanterns, pillows, vines^ and girls made the gayest kind of scene. And during the Proms there was real music music that brought back summer memories, which, however, were forgotten in the happiness of that evening. Dur- ing the last Prom everybody gath- ered in the society hall and flop- ped down on pillows, for they had been told that wonderful things would come from that "Gate of Knowledge." And things did come! Ora Glenn, in dignified robes, rep- resenting "Knowledge," introduced the "Spirit of Knowledge" (rein- carnated for that special purpose in the little person of EUie Har- vey). The "Spirit of Knowledge" was graceful and marvelous, and the new girls showed their appre- ciative intellects, for they were all delighted with knowledge in this form. The "Spirit" led forth all the various branches of knowledge Botany, German, French, Eng- lish, History, Music, and Athletics, and they were all most attractive. Indeed, one had never thought that knowledge could be pleasant till THE LAST AGONY. then. And when all the knowledge had been shown, the "Spirit" in- vited the new girls to enter the gate with her. Then, to show that knowledge has other attractions, dear little gold pins were scatter- ed among the guests, after which real Propylean "eats" were served. Of course the light bell that necessary evil had to come and end our happy night, but there was a babel of messages called back and forth, and everybody was say- ing, "Good night! Oh, I've just had the prettiest time I ever had!" PLANS. Everyone seems to be pleased with the new system decided upon by the "Props." The work for this year is divided into four phases musical, dramatic, literary, and de- bating. So far, the plan has suc- ceeded well, and every member of the society is doing the work that best fits her. The Mnemosyneans are studying Russian literature, art, and sciences. Miss Cady has done a great deal in helping them to carry out their plans, and the meetings are exceedingly interesting. Hear the noise of strife and con- flict As a Freshman green appears, See the tumult that surrounds him. Hear his groans, and see his tears. Now the green and white's triumph- ant Colors of the Propyleans, Now the blue and gold is flaunted By the proud Mnemosyneans. And the Freshman cries and trem- bles Oh, which colors shall he bear? Each presents such pleasant pic- tures He can't choose, so tears his hair. But at last with joy and sorrow He makes the weighty choice. While the vanquished side looks sorry. And the winning ones rejoice. But we see when things are settled And everything's serene. That as warmest friends, not rivals Float blue and gold and white and green. HELEN S. MOORE. PLEDGE DAY. On Wednesday, the twenty-sec- ond day of September, the fatal day arrived. It is queer how the same thing can happen year after year and cause the same amount of ex- citement, embracing, and weeping. After the time-honored and there- tore sacred custom, the invitations were placed in the Freshmen's rooms during dinner and the vic- tims were allowed until three o'clock to think the matter over and decide by which crowd they would prefer to be kissed. There was a little more weeping than usual this year, and a great deal more excitement, on account of this being the largest Freshman Class on record. But finally the all- important matter was settled to everybody's liking, and the new girls at last were free to attend to their courses. The final count reads thus: Propylean, 56. Mnemosynean, 73.

The debate between the Mne- mosynean and Propylean Literary Societies was held in the chapel on Saturday night, March 26th. This was the last of the debates preliminary to the inter-collegiate debate and excitement ran high. The question was that of the "Newcomb" debate Resolved: That the United States should own and operate a merchant marine. The debaters were Misses Frances Thatcher and Jeannette Victor, affirmative; Misses Ellen Ramsey and Olive Hardwick, negative. The subject was closely debated and the judges awarded the victory to the affirmative by a decision of three to two. The inter-collegiate debaters were chosen from among these girls. They are: Misses Jeannette Victor and Olive Hardwick, debaters, and Miss Frances Thatcher, alternate.

Questions for the Week. Dear Miss Smith: I have a fair complexion but am usually very pale. What kind of rouge must I use to remedy this? Inquiringly, R. H. Dearest Miss Lillian: I am so distressed. My table manners are not at all what they should be. 1 always have an un- comfortable feeling when I go out. Society is, to me, a burden. Won't you give some advice as to what to do? Anxiously, E. K. A. Answers. My dear R. and E. K. A.: I am so glad you came to me with these questions. Indeed, I am always glad to give advice and answer any question on etiquette that you wish to ask. Table manners are very impor- tant and it is dreadful to see a young girl neglect them. Parlor manners and behavior with young men are points requiring strictest attention. These are little things that count that men watch! Right here let me tell you, R., never use cosmetics of any kind. It ruins the complexion. I am sending a list (Miss Smith has used all the space given her and her talk will have to be continued in our next issue). Teacher "Henry, give me a sen- tence using the word 'officiate.' " Henry "My uncle died from 'er fish he ate.' " Dr. McCain urges his Bible stu- dents not to use the high school term, "it says." A few days ago, he called on Jeannette Joyner, who answered glibly, "it says" a pause, and then hurriedly, "no, it didn't say." THE LAST AGONY.
