We have ushered it into this strange world and we hope and trust that it will find a corner here and in the years to come will not feel out of place. :: We have filled its pages with the trials, successes, and aspira* tions of the students of Piedmont Col' lege, and we hope that it will stand forever as a document of Amer- ican Youth at college. Pa* 1 m Yonah Mountain Page 8 YONAH Yonah Mountain, oft I ponder As my thoughtful glances* wander O'er the splendor of thy might, Whether hidden truth or seeming, Granite fact or fancy's dreaming; Shows thy meaning's truest light. Was it merely accidental That in chaos elemental Thou wert molded there in rock ? Art thou but a ledge upstanding, All the lower slopes commanding, Yet art but a senseless block ? Nay ! I would invest thy story With a greater worth and glory, Born of all I feel and see In thy wrinkles, wisdom laden, Thy remoteness, well-nigh maiden. These and more are real to me. Thou dost stand a very token Of the might of God, unbroken Tho the solid earth must yield; May we, also, stand as soundly, Working, trusting God profoundly, Boundless force for Right to wield. Yonah Mountain, now as ever Brooding, back of our endeavor, We shall gladly take thy name; Only keep for Piedmont's fellows All the hidden sense that mellows Thee, and aid each righteous aim. !>*' si j*mM YONAHIAN 19 2 Snow on Lake Demorest Page 10 r- = In Memory of the Piedmont Boys Who Died in Their Country's Service STIRLING PEEK EINAR ANDERSON T J.

For out of all the horror and the heartache, Our sum in life's addition we shall learn; Our lives we'll give unto the Master's purpose And strongly from our thoughtless ways we'll turn. Our Florence, whom we all had loved so dearly, Is missed by every student, one and all; But in our mem'ry we shall hold her image, Until we, too, must answer to the call. Our comrade's life was filled with beauty, Was glorious in godliness and truth; She left a record here of strength and duty That few have equaled in their days of youth. She loved us with a wealth of happy giving, And she was ever friend, alike to all; We feel that she was ready for the reaping, To answer brightly to the Master's call. The flower of her life in earthly blossom Has left us mem'riea as a sweet perfume; The opened bud but lives in fairer gardens, And we that stay will grow to richer bloom.

We view with misty eyes that empty chair; The vacant seats of those we loved, as scars Upon our plans, remind us of the bars That leave us all bereft, and bent in prayer. A whisper echoes thru the open sky, And all the waste, so desolate and ban'. Is spirit'filled, no more to be alone, And so, in answer to our broken cry, The words return, "Be not o'erwhelmed with i In you may bloom the spirit of Leone." Pap is YONAHIAN ZPmteZXrk Mary J.

T ARKIN BARNETT BLACK, Class President, is one of the pioneer n * ' but the youngest and smallest man in the class, though he is the oldest Ov and heart'Sinasher in College. In his Freshman year he left off playing Indian and Volcano and assumed a pompadour. His Sophomore year was greatly brightened by his donning his first pair of long trousers. The year was chiefly rying the preceptor and writing articles on "Dean" Pease. :: Hi>> funi< one of extraordinary brilliancy, owing to his shiny pill new uniform, shoulder ornaments, a gold tooth, and the composition of the words to "It's Piedmont tor Mine", our new college song. The Senior yew was duu i by his decision to believe he was an ordinary mortal and to acknowledge that the more a Senior studies, the less he knows. :: Any one who has been in Piedmont in the first four years has certainly heard of Barnett, either person- ally or through the "Piedmont Owl", which he edits, his graduation he expects to work up into the field of four* nalism. !>*.< 29 FRANCES HEIDE Macon, Georgia Candidate for A.'B. T^ATHLEEN FRANCES HEIDE entered Piedmont inlthe fall of 1916 and is -* *- one of the four original members of the class who receive the A. B. degree this year. Her Freshman year was chiefly devoted to the gentle art of vamping and it must be said that she was a credit to the name. Classes were the least of her wop ries, but nevertheless she maintained a high scholastic standing throughout her entire course. :: The Sophomore year brought on the usual swelhheadedness which sub- sides soon after the final exam marks are in. Her dramat- ic talent received an outlet during this year. She took a part in "Hicks at College" and in "The Old Maids' Con* vention", playing with remarkable talent in the latter play, especially when her disposition is taken into consideration. Her Junior year passed away uneventfully, as Junior years are often apt to do. :: Alas, Senior year makes great changes. Frances was no longer the vamp of former days, but spent her time tracing her family tree and making a list of the many beaux of the past and thinking of the one beau of the present. Everybody wishes her luck. Page 30 MANK EARLE Hartwell, Georgia Candidate for A. B. A TANK EARLE entered Piedmont in the year the present class came into exist- ** * ence. At first she was interested in athletics and class-scraps, playing on the girls' basketball team and greatly preferring a bite of Sophomoii am to an A in Astronomy. She entered the C. T. C. Society during her Sophomore year and took an active part until that organization dissolved. :: During her Junior year her interests were turned to the Drama League and she remained in that organization through the rest of her college course. Seniors have a gen- eral reputation for beinn susceptible to Cupid's arrows but all any boy had to do to be disillusioned was to lake a fling at Mank. She is a confirmed man-hater and says I BBlibr 1 ^^ s he is going to the bin Islands as a missionary. It's a cinch y r ^L^^.- that the cannibals will never eat her heart. It's too hard. EDWIN N.. HAWTHORNE Tavares, Florida Candidate for A. B. UDWIN N. HAWTHORNE entered Piedmont College in 1915, having grad- *-** uated from Piedmont Academy. His service in the United States Navy during the war made it impossible for him to graduate with his original class. He joined the class of 1 920 after the Armistice was signed. :: "Sam" leaves a remarkable athletic record behind him, having played on four football teams, four basketball teams and three baseball teams. He was captain of the football team in 1917 and manager in 1 9 1 9. :: He has been an active member of the J. S. Green Society since entering Piedmont and has held several of the Society's offices, delivering the President's Address in 1 920. He took the part of Hicks in "Hicks at College", one of the most successful plays ever given at Piedmont. :: We are unable to tell you much of Sam's experiences during his Senior year, for most of them occurred in Clarkesville where "Hattie" is located. He did, however, manage to spare us enough of his time to act as secretary and treasurer of the Sen' ior Class and as Sport Editor of "The Piedmont Owl". Page 32 EWELL HOPE Gainesville, Ga. Candidate for A B. UWELL HOPE came to Piedmont in 1916, but went to Young Harris in 1917- *~^ 1 8. He has been an active member of the Protropian Society during his entire course at Piedmont. He was especially active as a Society member during his Fresh- man year, filling one term as President, speaking at the Society Anniversary, and be- ing elected as one of the speakers on the inter-society debate which was later cancelled. His scholastic record is one to be proud of as he was forced to carry an extremely heavy course in his Senior year and his standing was among the best. He was a member of the Glee Club in 1917. :: The war also broke into Hope's College course. He answered the call and served in the 41 1th Engineers, trained at Camp Gordon. :: He is one of the charter members and founders of Piedmont's latest organization, "The Hugh M. Dorsey Legal Club", and he was ek president of this club at its first meeting, in February. He expects to take up a business lite after his graduation. Pap n WILLIAM E. ISLER Gastonia, N. C. Candidate for A. B. YVTILLIAM E. ISLER is the latest addition to the Senior Class of 1 920. He " comes to us from North Carolina, where he completed a three year college course. He is known and respected as one of the most influential Christian work- ers in the College. His interest in all forms of college activities and hi> efforts to raise the standards of spirit and fellowship have been manifest. :: He is President of the Y. M. C. A. and has done more to build up that organization than any man who has been connected with it in years. His work is go- ing to be sadly missed after his graduation. :: He is an active member of the J. S. Green Society and has done much good in it an J all organizations with which he has been connected. He expects to enter the ministry after he receiyes his degree. :: :: Page 34 SENIOR PROPHECY "I am thy father's ghost, doomed for a time to walk this earth." *'Oh ! Horrors ! what can it be.

Still an Askin, but called "Aunt Marjie" or "Mama Marjie" by the many little orphans. I see from my window the crescent moon, and numbers of twinkling stars a- bove me. As 1 sit and look, my thoughts carry me back to my happy school days at Piedmont. Freshman class, '18 a happy group of seventy members! Uncle Sam called some of the boys, and willingly they did their bit. Sophomore Class, '19 also a happy bunch, but only twenty in number. Junior Class, '20 as I think of these classmates, 1 fall asleep, and as 1 sleep I dream a dream. 1 am taking a trip to a large city. Soon after I am seated I hear a familiar familiar voice say "Tickets!" and 1 at once glance up, to see Wiley Pope, still a busi- ness man and fond of his ancestors. Who should come into the car, where 1 am now, but a lady handsomely dressed and carrying a suitcase. 1 at once recognize her to be Caroline Hall. She is a traveling Y. W. C. A. worker. "All out for the city." As 1 enter the station, 1 walk toward a window over which is written "Infor- mation." 1 immediately see a smiling class-mate, Annie Leslie, with outstretched hands. She is serving others in her kind and friendly way. Here it is that 1 re. my "information" concerning the other members of the class. "Annie Bell teaches Domestic Art in Piedmont College, making a success of her work." "Ruby Berryman has married a tenor singer, and is living in Now York City." "Agnes Gerald is a great soprano singer, winning the admiration of large audi- ences by her beautiful songs." "Ruby Jordan is teaching Physics and Chemistry in Piedmont C i her many hours in laboratory were not spent in vain." "Gerardine Muriel still plays her mandolin, and is living in that bungalow, bin enough for two." "Clarence Graham is Professor of Science at Clemson, ^ivin^ his pupils plenty of work." "Lila Griffin has changed from physical training to teaching Latin; while her husband teaches mathematics in the same college." "Lester Wilson is a Chatauqua lecturer, and has also written several bo. "Frances Vassey is Chief Librarian in one of the largest libraries in Richmond, Virginia." "Daisy Hayes is Superintendent of Schools within her district." PK* 45 "Our class teacher, Mr. Roberts, has recently married Miss Waite, Professor of Home Economics at Piedmont. Both are very happy, and as he can still blush, so can she cook delicious food." As I must go to the city, I leave the "Information" window, and alas I wake and findJI have been dreaming, but who knows but what my dreams may come true ! Page 44 Addie Green Bass, A. B., B. E. (Piedmont College; University of Tennessee; Columbia College of Expression Faculty Advisor of the Class of 1922 1 '..,-. 43 YONAHIAN 2 The Sophomore Class Page 46 SOPHOMORE PROPHECY TT was an unusually hot summer afternoon when I had finished some settlement A work in Los Angeles, California, and was waiting at the station to return to my headquarters in San Francisco. It was already four o'clock, and it seemed as if the train would never come. At last the train came and no one can imagine what a re- lief it was, tired and weary as I was from my day's work. I boarded the train and sat down near the front of the car. The train soon started, but did not go very far before it stopped at some little station. As the passengers were coming in, my attention was attracted to a good-looking young man who took the seat across the aisle from me. I hated to keep looking at him but the thought that I had seen him some where, continually revolving in my mind, forced me to try to place him. I looked again, and behold he was coming ov- er to my seat. "Pardon me, young lady, but aren't you Miss Baily who graduated at Piedmont in 1922?" "Why yes; and and aren't you Mr. Evans ?" "To be sure I am that gentleman," he replied. "What a happy coincidence ! Do sit down and tell what you have been doing all these years." "Well, 1 came out west the summer after I graduated and started to worked .i-^ fruit dealer in Pasadena, California." "For goodness sake ! I never would have dreamed of you as being a fruit dealer." "Yes; I decided to come out West and leave dear old Georgia. My days in this land of flowers, and ethereal skies have been filled with happiness which 1 attri- bute to that beautiful California girl whom 1 claim as my own." "How fortunate you have been ! It does me so much good to meet up with some of my old classmates, and to hear about them. I suppose you knew |im King was a civil engineer out in Wyoming, did you not ?" "Why no; tell me about him." "Oh, the old boy has made good. He was always good in mathematics. I re- member taking Analytic Geometry with him under Dean Rogers." "Speaking about Jim brings up Mr. "Zock". Do you know, he's the swellest dude in New York! And by the way, he married Lorena Graham, who was con- nected with die Immigration bumu in New York. At first they were iust friends. but later they became more congenial and thus it ended in the bonds of holy wedlock.' 1 "It seems that a good many of our class have gotten married. I read that Marie Madden had married William Archie Richards, I believe thai is his name. He is a well known young man oi Raleigh, North Carolina. Hiram, it's the hoy she used P-^ A7 r to talk about so much when we were Sophomores. I once thought she would be a" business woman but her mind later changed to domestic affairs." "You know, Mary, I thought Eloise Abernathy would have been one of the first to have married, but she has become head nurse in Robinson's Sanitarium in Atlanta, and I hear Dennis Corn has become a surgeon there. I'll tell you another student who has made good and that is Mary Isenhour. She is assistant teacher of Chenv istry under Professor Roberts at Piedmont; and would you have thought it, Roy Smith is Dean !" "Well, that is wonderful ! Hiram, you know we didn't realize what a good Col- lege we had. But now just look at what the members of our class have done. This goes to prove what a splendid College it was." "Oh, I haven't told you all yet Elton Wilson is going forth into the world preaching the gospel. Then there is Jessie Strickland who is about to become a great Prima Donna, singing in New York. Oh, goodness sake ! Speaking of her makes - me think of Jessie Shirley. Whom do you think she married ?" "Why, I haven't the slightest idea." "Owen Sappington, and believe me, she has certainly straightened that little fel' low out. Owen is one of the chief Naval officers at Norfolk, Virginia and since national wars are not enough for him Jessie has tried to supply this deficiency at home." "Hiram Evans ! I can't picture her as that kind of a wife. She was always such a dear, sweet girl at school." "Yes, she was. Before I forget, Florence Adair has become Dean of Women at Blackstone, Virginia and has made a wonderful success of it." "I am almost to my destination, but before I leave, do tell me of what you know of our dear class teacher, Miss Addie." "She is still at Piedmont at the head of the Expression Department, and is con' ferring degrees upon the graduates now." "Oh, my goodness! How the time has flown! You can't imagine what a treat this has been in hearing so much about all our old classmates. Here ! The train is about to leave. I must go ! Goodbye ! Good luck !"

This mighty oak began to grow in grammar school at Demorest, Ga. in the year 1 908. As in all grammar schools there are many, many pupils so were there many, many branches on this oak. Some dropped off, others grew in their place until this oak had reached half its height or High School. There were five big branches and many new ones on the tree by the time we had reached Academy, of these five but three were to reach the third year of its final height. When this tree had grown this high (?) several new branches which had been working hard to reach this point of their lives came out to grow with us three, and with these other branches it began to look like the finest oak in the land. How proud was this oak when it was brought before the public attention at the first meet- ng September, 1 9 1 9 under its full growth, and it has been inspired by the interest' ed glances of spectators. Now it has come to the last year of its growth, and each of the thirty -eight strong, ambitious members will go out alone to find a place in the world, and recall, with a final smile, the breezes of class meetings, picnics, parties, and lectures.

E., in the fall cf 1918. During the first part of the year the Department gave three student recitals. In the first, Misses Gertrude Henshaw, Marjorie Askin and Bessie Sonner took part. In the second, Misses Marjorie Askin, Lula Spencer, and Bessie Sonner, Messrs. Jack Bull and Wiley Pope were participants. The third, given by Miss Gertrude Henshaw, consisted of the beautiful story "The Road to Providence" by Maria Thompson Davies. In the fall of 1919, those who gave the recital were Misses Marjorie Askin, Gerardine Muriel, Caroline Hall and Bessie Sonner. The recitals given by this De- partment have all been of exceptionally high quality, and have ranked among the most enjoyable entertainments given by the College.

But after one and one half years of publication, its strike had become so forceful and the paper so wise that the name was changed to "The Piedmont Owl". This marks the close of the third year'of the paper; and it's former staff mem- bers and reporters are to be congratulated for their diligent work and great success. The paper is owned and published by the student body of Piedmont College and it is the only medium of expression between the students and the outside world. We must fill our paper with our highest thoughts, thoughts that embody the true elements of manhood in order that it may be of culture value to all of those who read it. The Owl has been very successful during the past year. Its policy has been to keep before us the life of our student body, with all its virtures, graces, and strength, together with its faults, mistakes and weaknesses. One half of our culture is to add new gracess; the other half, to get rid of our faults. The Owl has com- mended the virtue of our social and moral life, but condemned our faults. We welcome the interest and the help of the student body, and wish to say to the readers that it is our aim to have the best paper possible. Page 70 PROTROPIAN SOCIETY We welcome all men who come to Piedmont to make the best ot then oppor- tunities and prepare themselves for the broad citizenship. Our programs consist mostly of debates and open discussions on topics ot national interest; although we do not limit them strictly to meetings of this nature. Thus the members not onrj .1. quire ease in speaking and develop ability to debate, hut they keep informed on mat- ters of world importance which are rapidly passing into history. The good student and future citizen must know what is going on at present and Iv able to judge and meet the present conditions by those of the past. To this end we endeavor to sup- plement the work of the college. PC< 7 1 THE J. S. GREEN DEBATING SOCIETY FOUNDED IN 1897 # A --'**: M 55. ' . - ' ., -~ "... &**! i (T ' From the time that the J. S. Green Debating Society was organized, in 1897, it has been not only an inspiration in the minds of those students who organized it, but it also has grown to be as great an inspiration in the minds and lives of the new students who come to Piedmont each year. Its work has always been of as high a type as that of any society of its kind, and it has been instrumental in the shaping and molding of the success of many of Piedmont's leading students, in the line of work selected as their life's profession. And it is upon the merit of the J. S. Green Society that the Society has grown from the nucleus of its beginning to its present strength and power. Page 72 MA IfeN THE STUDENTS' ASSOCIATION Officers of the Students' Association There had been a sentiment throughout the student body for some time, thai the student life lacked something which hindered its growth, which was falling short ot the growth of the school in general. And for this reason, a number of students, representing all classes and departments of the school, met on the 5th day of October, l c >16, to discuss the needs of the student body and to adjust the matter in the best way possible. In this meeting it was decided that the students lacked co-operation. Tins could easily be seen as the student body was divided into groups in accordance with their respective societies and dubs. These groups would tcl as a unit, it is true, in tin- major activities of die school, but nothing was done toward assuming the different responsibilities which belonged to the student body. The feeling was unanimous, among the students at this meeting, that the Student body should h ganized The Constitution and By-Law t were written and presented to th foi their approval. Our first meeting was held two weeks later, and the Constitution was trained Concludrd on Pant 90 Pa* n HIAN THE CHRISTIAN VOCATION LEAGUE 3fc- ; -'.: I Top Row, left to right: Miss Helen Wyise, Mr. W.

The purpose of the Christian Vocation League is to have a unit of the young people who have definitely decided to devote their lives to some definite work for the Master, such as: preparing for the ministry, social service work or the mission field. Miss Jewell Heath and Miss Lillian Eichelberger are the only two Student Voh unteers so the Volunteer Band has combined its meetings with the Christian Vocation League's. The League has held weekly meetings and had splendid lectures on various phases of uplift work. In the immediate future it is to begin a mission study class, taking first a general survey of the field, and then a study of some particular phase. Page 74 THE W. F. K. LITERARY SOCIETY W. F. K., one of the girls' literary societies, was the first organization in Pied- mont. It was organized with about twenty charter members. The name for the so- ciety was difficult to secure. "Workers for Knowledge" was suggested, and the so- ciety became known as the W. F. K. Some of the plays which have been given annually by the society are: Even* ing in Greece at Rome; Georgia Evening; Midsummer Nights Dream; and Pygmalian Galataea. After the death of Louie Dell Safford, who was a charter member and one of the first officers, her mother, Mrs. Louie Safford ot Demoiest, offered a medal in a contest of expression to he a perpetual memorial to Louie Del since, the awarding of this medal has been an annual feature ol the W.

A. is larger than ever be- fore, thus enabling the organization to accomplish more. The membership is larger and for the first time almost every College and Academy girl is enrolled as a members. :: Weekly meetings are held, in which there is much emphasis placed upon the necessity of Christian ideals and standards. :: There was no regular V. W. C. A. room before this year. Before the loss of one of our College dormitories plans were being made concerning the room. These new plans awakened an interest in every girl. :: Although the fire caused the work of the Association to be somewhat retarded, the work will go on with the same interest and enthusiasm. :: 1 wo plays and several stunts have been giv* en in preparation for the Blue Ridge Conference. While only two members attended the Conference last year, at least eight will attend this year of 1920. We hope to h*v< .greater representation at the Conference in the year to come. P*V 8J vr^KT A HIAN Y. M. C. A. The Y. M. C. A. Cabinet The one organization among men which stands primarily for Christian ideals in school life is the Y. M. C. A. The basis of the "Y" in Piedmont is the Cabinet, composed of the officers and chairmen of standing committees, a group of men es' pecially chosen for their abilities as workers and leaders. The other equally import- ant element in the Association is the loyalty and enthusiasm of the entire membership. A good "Y" man stands as a big brother to the new student. Someone must show the newcomer how to fit into College life, and we want to show him the bet^ ter way, and help him find the best place for himself. Associated in the "Y", we can make our efforts count for good living. The Association stands for clean living, athletics, leadership in short, for ev- erything worth while. Piedmont means opportunity, and we of the Y. M. C. A^ are organized to help ourselves and everyman make the most of it. Page 84 " V"' " THE HUGH M. DORSEY LEGAL CLUB CHARTER MEMBERS H. E.

Page 88 YON AH I p YONAHIAN 19 2 iffes THE WALKING CLUB Walking is a good, old-fashioned habit that goes with clear heads, hearty bodies, and a large and fine outlook upon life. The Epic of Life is written so broad' ly within the book of the universe, and yet is portrayed with such delicate touches that often we miss it completely. Nowhere is the immortal story more beautifully told than in the "Hills of Habersham". Piedmont is in the heart of a fairy-land of beauty the real beauty of nature if we will only see it. That is our purpose in the Walking Club to dis- cover Nature's messages to us, and to read them aloud. THE STUDENTS' ASSOCIATION Continued from Page 73 by the students. Due to a few erroneous clauses in the Constitution, which were overlooked by its authors, the Association was a complete failure that year. Several amend- ments were made the following year which helped to keep the organization together. But the interest of the students was so small that the Association did not accomplish the things for which it was organized. The fact that the Association was a failure in the past did not discourage its faithful members, and a meeting was again called on the 20th of September, 1919. More amendments were made which seemed to put the Assciation on its feet in good running order. The Association has accomplished many things this year, and since it is recog- nized as a permanent organization, we are looking forward to a very bright future.

The team being made up largely of raw material was late in developing, and was defeated in its first game at Riverside. In our first game at home against A. S M. the team showed up true to its form roll- ing up a large score and holding their opponents scoreless. The hardest fought game was played on our home grounds with Dahlonega, the game ending in 7 to 7 tie. Dahlonega scoring in the first few minutes of play. With two minutes to play and 70 yards from the goal, the Owls carried the ball across with a series of forward passes. The team deserve much credit for their steady practice in the face of a short schedule, every man playing the game with all the grit and pep he possessed; wh:le the laurels are being distributed, the Jazz team comes in for its share. Playing the game for the love of it and not asking for praise, this team stood up for its daily drub- bing, its reward in the knowledge of developing a strong varsity. No team can be a success without good coaching, and a coach that is respected by his men. Every man on the Varsity and Jazz teams looked up to Coach Forres- ter not only as a good athlete but as a comrade. The team asks for no credit for its work, but feels that all commendation should go to the man who made the team. Our hats off to "Big Boy" Forrester. 94 1 Football Snaps ' BASKETBALL Piedmont can no longer be classed with the "Prep." schools in basketball. This is one of her strongest branches of athletics. During the last few years she has been coming rapidly to the front. This season Piedmont has the largest squad of men she has ever had on the court for practice. The boys have been working hard in their practice games trying to produce the best team this season that they have ev- er had. From the few games played in the early part of the season there is no doubt that this year will hold Piedmont's best record up to this time. The Owls have a team not to be ashamed of, and beyond any doubt one that can make a credible showing against any team in the South. Give her another year or two, and she will have as good team as there is in the South, if she keeps on progressing as rapidly in the future as she has in the past.

Her able coaches have taken the material at hand and put forth winning teams. The baseball teams which have rep- resented Piedmont in the past have always ended the season with most excellentr e- COrds. These records have been raised with each succeeding year. Last season the showing of our team was ten games won out of a possible thirteen. As good as that may seem Piedmont's team will be able to show a better record at the end oi the pre- sent season.

"Quartette" Snaps Page 110 'NT EVERYTHING The day had been one of unusual hardships. Examinations over ! Happy the thought of this, but painful the thought of the severe struggle I had made in try- ing to put down wtthin the covers of those books the things I was supposed to know. Rather indolent, you may say, or else I would have prepared all along to meet exam- inations with a face of courage. True enough, but since I am of the opinion that the majority of human beings are prone to be somewhat lazy, and since I know that this fault is one of my greatest, I still feel justified in saying that 1 needed a rest. I fell into a kind of trance and before long I found myself roaming in the wonders of a beautiful land. 1 stood still with a feeling of perfect joy and admira- tion, for I had never seen anything so wonderful. After a few minutes a little fairy came to me and kindly asked, "My friend, of all the th'ngs that you need, what do you need most?" Even if it had been my nature to think quickly, 1 couldn't have answered the fairy's question, because my needs were so numerous. However, the fairy seemed to understand, for she took me by the hand and said, "Come with me." I followed and she led me up the steps of a beautiful mountain. When we reached the top, she said, "I understand what you need most right now, and too, I know that you love to dwell in the land of memory." No sooner said than there appeared before me a scroll which rose like a great curtain from the mists below. It rose slowly as if drawn upward by some magic hand and this is what 1 saw on the scroll: September 10 Opening day. 22 Battle of Freshmen and Sophomores on Picnic Point. Fresh- men won. 20-Y. W. C.

April 1 Mock Faculty meeting. At this last I laughed fit to kill. In fact, I gave such outrageous bursts of laughter, that before I knew it the scroll had disappeared into the mists from which it came. I begged the fairy to let me see it again, but she only said, "Too late, my friend, too late, you should have kept quiet." Before I could even express my regret for being so thoughtless or before I could even thank the kind fairy for what she had shown me, she, too, had disappear- ed, and 1 was left alone. This series of events might have been better, had it not been for my utter rude- ness. But since I laughed and spoiled the rest, it remains as it is, and I have tried to show it to you as the fairy showed it to me. Amen !

An Indian legend tells us, How a century back, they met And plighted their vows to each other, And those brows are unbroken till yet. That Sautee was tall and handsome, Nacoochee, no pen could describe, She, belonged to the Cherokees, And he to the Chickasaw tribe. How the chiefs of these tribes had forbid-- den, That these Indian lovers should wed, But Sautee came and stole the girl; And away to the mountains they fled. The wily chief of the Cherokees, Called his warriors to his side, Then a race began; to lose, lost his child, But to Sautee, to win, won a bride. For weeks were they gone, not a trace could be found. Though the search was kept up without pause, For the Cherokees thought that Sautee Had gone, to the land of the Chickasaws. At last to the mountains, the lovers were traced, Then upward they climbed, hand in hand, Till at last the cliff on the Yonah was- reached, And naught could they do but to stand. Page 118 YONAHIAN Below, in pursuit came the chief and his braves, The race, to him, nearly won, Sautee, kissed the last time, The girl by his side, In the rays of the setting sun. Nacoochee begged for Sautee's life, But they sternly answered her, "No !" And by the brawny hands of two stalwart braves, He was hurled to the rocks below. 'Twas her father's command she witness his death. Then the air with her shrieks she rent, "Sautee ! Sautee ! Sautee !" she cried, Then over the cliff she went. On the cruel, jagged rocks below, The dusky lovers died, And the sorrowing chief had them carried away, And they buried them side by side. On a picturesque mound, in the valley below. Till time and all else shall cease, Sautee, by the side of his beautiful bride, Shall sleep in Eternal peace. Jno. M. Findley, Nacoochee Valley, Oct., 7th 1893.

The publishers of this Annual will tell you that in the plan- ning; financing and preparation of their book, this Stafford handbook was a veritable gold mine of helpful ideas and suggestions. A copy of this book, in addition to all the direct and indivdual co-opera- tion you may need, and the benefit of our nearly thirty years specializa- tion in college and school engraving, is available to all schools that appre- ciate this idea of service.
