When Mrs. Tubman presented tlie churcii building on Reynolds Street to the Board of Education, one of the conditions of the gift was, that if for any reason this site were ever abandoned as a girls' high school, it should then become the duty of the Trustees of the Acadeniv of Richmond County to sell the property and divide the jiroceeds between the Academy of Richmond County and the D'Antignac Free School. This disposition of tiie old school lot on Reynolds Street was made after tiie scliool building was burned to the ground in the great fire of March 22, 191(5. Mrs. Tubman left no eiiilowmeiit to tile Tubman Higli School. The school has always been entirely su})ported by the public school fund of the county and state as administered by tlie Richmond County Board of Education. The Tubman High School has iiad only four principals: Mr. Ben \eely. Rev. William Beane, Mr. John Xeely, and .Mr. T. H. Garrett, who still holds the office after fifteen years of valuable service to this institution. Tile first class, consisting of only eight girls, graduated at the Tubman in 1869. _. The school has grown steadily since that time and at present there are fifty-two in the graduating class. There are now six hundred and fifty in the student body and a faculty of thirtv-two members. Tubman MAIDS and A MAN Class '21 The building on Reynolds Street was three times enlarged by the Board of Education. On Marcli 22, 1916, the building and entire equipment were totally destroyed by fire. Plans were immediately drawn for a new school. Two years before the fire the Board of Education purchased a tract of land on Walton Way, known as the Scliutzen Platz. In Xovcniber, 191(i, the j)eople of Augusta and Ricli- niond County voted a bond issue of $100, ()()() for the erection of a girls' high school on the present Walton Way site. Tlie ])lans for the school were drawn by Mr. G. Lloyd Preacher, architect, and the construction of the building was awarded to the Palmer-Spivey Construction Company. Work on the building was begun in January, 1917, and after many interru])tions due to the World War, the building was comjileted and first occu])ied February 18, 1918. From March 22, 1916, until the new building was completed, the sessions of the school were held in Sunday School Building of the First Presbyterian Cliurch, the First Baptist Ciiurcii, basement of Central Grannnar School, anil a resid- ence at 617 Telfair Street. This condition necessarily made it hard for the school to carry on its work, but at no time did the spirit of the school, for which the Tubman has long been famous, fail to assert itself. It was a hayjpy day when tlie long talked of new Tubman scliool with its modern building, com- plete equipment and its beautiful grounds became at least a reality. The new Tubman ranks among the finest liigli schools in tiic country, and is the pride of Augusta. Anna C. Eve.

Some history is, particularly American historv, because it concerns ourselves and our country. How dry history would be without the obstacles that make it ! Then, here is a history that is interesting. It i> the Senior Class Historv, and is interesting because it concerns ourselves, and our school. The many obstacles that tried to trip us merely made us work harder and become stronger. For all the advantages the Tubman girls now have we would not give up our past four years" experiences, because, we are proud of having conquered those years. The harder the victory is to gain, the more victorious we are when we've won. In 1917, as Freshmen, we joined the Tubman refugees at the First Pres- byterian Sunday School building. This was our temjiorary abode after tlie big Augusta fire tiiat destroyed Tuhuiaii on Cotton Row. There we were, eighty-five in number, homeless and frightened, though we put on a i)old front. But we soon caught the spirit of loyalty and walked with a migiitv air, our heads held up, and our shoulders back, for were we not Tubmanites.'' Surely, everybody must recognize us. Indeed, we carried our books with us everywliere we went, and sat witii them in our la])s as the sub-freslnnen do now. But wu did it because we had no place to put them. Our classes were held in the little class rooms where we sat, with our heels hung in the rounds of the chairs, and hugged our knees. For nmsic, science, and sewing, we marched across to the Central school and spent many ))kasant hours there. It was under the hos])itable roof of the First Presbyterian Sunday School that we received many visits from soldiers and war-workers who called us to patriotism. It is safe to say that they found us ready and willing in every instance. It is not very often that girU in the South have tlie privilege of attending School when the ground is co\ere(l with ice, but wi- did. And our not liaving this ])rivilege often accounted for the fact tluit we could not stay right side up, or on our feet, long enough to get to school on time. About this time, a big, cloudy obstacle came along and stood right in our ])ath. It was tailed the coal shortage. As I have saiil before, we readily |:U] Tubman MAIDS and A MAX Class '21 responded to any patriotic cause, so in Dectniber we g-ladlv discontinued scliool for the purpose of stretchiiicf our coal supply. Don't think for a minute that we were discouraged because of this obstacle, for we had a bright out-look in the future. February, 1918, greeted us at the door of the new Tubman on Walton Way. ^Ve have the honor of being the last of the refugees, and tlie first to enter our new home. Here we had everything that we had lacked before. We di ln"t even mind getting lost between classes because the seniors got lost, too. In the sewing classes at the new school we put away the embroidery needle Hnd stitched away on pajamas and children's dresses for the French people, and hospital shirts and gun covers for our soldiers. Maybe some day we shall profit by this Red Cross experience. Now g-raduation was sometl'.ing- bevond the horizon so far as we were con- eerned. and it didn't mean nuich to us. All that mattered, really, was the little card the teachers gave us, the last day. that made us Sophomores. We were now ninety-five in number in sjiite of tie fact that some of our school- mates left school for idleness, work, or matrimony. AVhat a hard vear was before us I But, of course, we did not know it. and "where ignorance is bliss, 'tis follv to be wise.'' We knew nothing of the girl with the thousand eyes, nor Alexander, who might liave warned us. Befove Christmas the doors were shut against us for a whole month on account of the influenza e]iidenhc : not because Tubman would give us the "flue,' but for fear that individuals wcuild jias^ it on to Tubman. Th.en, when we thought all was safe, we made another effort to go to school ; but in January, 1919, the epidemic proceeded to interrupt the process of our education again, and we almost gave up all hopes of ever getting educated. We did not resume our work until March of the same year, and. in our dete; niination not to lose the fight, we went to school six days in tlie week. Of course that was the plan of the Faculty, but they could not have carried it out except for our co-operation. .Now. can you think of anything braver than that for a school girl who likes to sleep late on Saturday morning'' During our Sophomore year a most eventful thing happened prior to all epidemics. A man was enlisted on the Faculty I He was neither a young man, no:' an old man, but just a middle-aged man. After the excitement was over, nothing much happened except that he got married before teaching the next year. Our Principal is very much o])])osed to school girls" marching through the streets on parades, but he said that it was our patriotic dutv tQ do sq when we [35] Class '21 MAIDS and A MAN Tubman were asked to parade to lielp promote the progress of the fifth Liberty loan. We thoroughly enjoyed the admiration of tiie public and felt very important in doing our duty. Well, what do you think.'' The Juniors asked some of our Sophomores to serve at the banquet for the Seniors. An honor, indeed ! Nevertheless, when we become Juniors we shall have the same privilege. Of course we can't exactly revenge on them because we shall have to ask the Sophomores who come after us, but the principle will be revenge just the same. Now there are sixty-five of us knocking on the door of the Junior class. What a glorious feeling as we stand with our feet on the step of the Junior class, and our eyes on the level with the Senior step. Graduation is not merely a vision on the horizon now for we have a closer view. We had no interup- tion this year, consequently, the rest of our history is dry ; it is so dry now that I can hardly jjroceed. Of course we are very glad epidemics deserted us, and we are no longer victims of them. We spent the whole year looking for more adventures but the war wa.s ended and so was everything else, seemingly. Our last resort was the battles fougiit on the iiockey field and basket ball court which we didn't always win. I suspect that the lack of something to do is what possessed us to make up such a clownish circus. Any way it was the kind of thing the public liked because we made four hundred and three dollars and thirteen cents and gave the Seniors as good a banquet as we hope to have when we're Seniors. Now if you want to know why we shout, laugh, cry, and sigh, it is because we are Seniors. You don't wonder that we shout and laugh, but you do wonder why we cry and sigh. That is the secret of Seniorship, and you must wait until you are one before you can find out. We are standing on the top step now, but our history is still in the making because we haven't received our diplomas yet. We are anxiously waiting and hoping that none of the fifty-four will be left behind. Already we have witnessed two snows this year which makes us feel that we are receiving as cold a farewell as tlie welcome we were given. We are glad to be the privileged ones of having seen the Lyceum courses introduced into our school, and the many other improvements that have come about during our four years here, some of which are: the Honor League, the Athletic Council, and the Annual. We are proud of all of them. I am sure we feel conscientious in saying that we have done our best in every way and in everytliing. We feel kindly and superior to everybody, due to our proper training. To say that we have enjoyed the friendship of Mr. [361 Tubman MAIDS and A MAN Class '21 Hickman is only hinting of our love for him. To say that we have a fatherly love for ]\Ir. Garrett is saying everything because we know of his daughtei'ly interest in us. To say that we love and respect our Faculty is true, but there is no telling what they think of us judging from our montiily reports. I fear that I am getting too sad, though, as long as tears are shed, this history is not too dry. When I laugh the world laughs with me; but when I weep, I weep alone; therefore, I shall leave our history to complete itself. Katherine Tlieiling.

H. S. graduates of 1921 will be at the Grand tonight only, to tell where their classmates are, and what they are doing." Seven long years had passed since I had been in Augusta. When I left, I had just graduated from Tubman, and now Gladys, Dorothy and I have finished our study of the occult sciences, and other branches of that character. On the night mentioned, the curtain rises, and a stage is seen, at the back of which are two heavy velvet curtains. Except for two velvet pillows on each side of a marble pedestal, the stage is bare. On top of the pedestal is placed a crystal which looks as if it might be made of silver. I enter through the velvet draperies at the back of the stage. Dorothy and Gladys enter through the side doors, one coming from each side. We are all dressed alike, having an Oriental costumes, with turbans bound tightly around our heads. My colleagues sit on the pillows as do the Arabs, and I stand behind the pedestal. I raise my hands in Oriental fashion over the crystal, and gaze into its mystic depths. After a space of two minutes, I speak. As I look into the crystal I see only a confusion of things. Slowly the scene changes, and I discern a sign. "Fancy Dancing Dye & Clark. ' A door opens and I see our old schoolmates, Deryl and Louise. What are they doing.'' Goodness, me! DeryPs toe-dancing, and Louise is doing her best to make a bashful youtii play the part of Pierrot while Pierrette waits patiently. Who would have ever thought that "D. C." and "Louise" would teach dancing.' Now, I see something that everyone might well expect. There is Mary Cook, dressed as a nurse, and bending over a poor, ragged, deformed child. Mary was ever gentle, hence this wonderful welfare work is just the tiling for her. What is this.'' Flowers every wiiere and in their midst is Hattie Belle. A florist? No, Mr. Balk's assistant. The phone rings, and I hear Hattie Belle's voice, "Balk's Nursery." It is Sparta, Ga., calling. "What's the name please.'' Mr. Yes, this is Miss Griffin! Hello!" Hattie Belle recognizes the voice as that of an old friend of hers. He wants some flowers to be sent to his wife, who was Miss Lucile McConnnons. Dear old Iaicv ! She's living in Sparta and married to oh, well, ask Hattie Belle. Now, I perceive a long brick building. As the crystal reveals it more clearly, I recognize it as Tubman. In room 2.5 are seen geometric figures on every board. Girls are bending over every desk, and seated at the teacher's desk is Isabel Kendrick. She has taken Miss Greene's place teacliing plane geo- metry, for now it is necessary to liave a teacher for solid geometry alone. Suddenly tlie scene changes to the Gym and I see Annie Evelyn, blowing a slirill whistle. A crowd of girls gather around lur immediately. She is basket-hall coach and assistant to Miss Ruland who lias returned. I see now, on the 800 block of Broad Street, a very attractive sign: "Miss Jones' Exclusive French Footwear." At the door stands a girl who looks ex- ceedingly familiar to iiie. Siie lias on a smart serge dri'ss and very "Frenchy" r40i Tubman MAIDS a nd A MAN Class '21 shoes. Peg Jones! She .surely has a dear Httlo sliop, and, My! how crowded it is ! My crystal now reveals to me a large dance hall, or rather simply part of the dancing room of one of the most pojjular hotels in Xew York. A man and a girl come dancing out. How graceful they are! I recognize the girl as CaroHne Brown. She and her husband are known as tiie second Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Castle. Old C. B. ! Everyone knew when we went to Tubman that she was the best dancer in the class. The scene shifts now to a street in Atlanta. A building slowly emerges which I recognize as the Grand. Posters arc everywhere, and one especially attracts my attention. It is of a young woman of perhaps twenty-four or five. I read the sign under it. "Miss P^-ances Brawner, an Augusta girl, will sing here tonight with Farrar." Goodness! Frances, an opera singer.'' All know- she is successful without my saying so. What do I see now.? A small country town. It seems that something is up. I see "Grovetown" painted over the door. A shout goes up and a young woman ascends the platform. She begins to speak. After about five minutes, another shout rises. "Hurrah ,for our Mayor!" What on earth.'' Sara Evans, mayor of Grovetown.'' I suppose she's just finished making an "oral talk," only her audience is diflerent from the crowd of giggling school-girls she used to address. Just on the other side of Grovetown I observe a farm. A ilear little cot- tage is situated on the road-side, and a ])icket-fence surrounds it. On one of the posts of the fence is attached a sign which reads, "X'elma Johnson, Scienti- fic Farmer." I at once recall a talk that \ elma made during Tubman days on "Imported Pests." Now I see why she was so interested in the effect of these pests on the cro|)s. My crystal now reveals to me another country town. The Post Ott'ice looks as if it were merely a small cage. Through the bars of the window I see a light-haired girl assorting mail. I recognize her as "Chick." I beg your pardon. Miss AUeen Fowke, Post Mistress of her home town Post Office. Gazing intently into the crystal, I see, through an open door a Beauty Parlor. A young lady is seated at a dressing table on one side of the room. Who is that girl who is arranging her hair.'' Sis.'' Why of course! Marien Smith. She's dressing the girl's hair in the same style in which she used to wear her own. At another table is a girl who is having her lips painted. I recognize the artist as Eulah Vaughn. As the door closed I read the sign on it : "Misses Smith and Vaughn, Beuaty Parlors." Sis and Eulah ought to be successful ! At a distance I see a big white house. It seems to come closer and closer. In front of it, I see an automobile. The screen door opens, and a girl comes out. She has on a sporty white skirt and coat, a smart hat, and low-heeled white Oxfords. In her right hand she holds a silver card-case, and in her left I see a what is that.'' A piece of chocolate cake! She is eating it slowly as if it were too good to let go. She descends the porch steps, walks slowly down the path that leads to the street and ste|)s into the automobile which I recog- nize as an Essex. Can anyone in the audience guess who she is.'' "Nina Verdery.''" Why, of course. She's married and evidently happy for she's eating chocolate cake and driving an Essex. [+11 Class '21 MAIDS a nd A MAN Tubman As I gaze again into my crystal, I see a busy street in a large city. Two ratlier tall girls are walking towards nie. One has light hair and a round face. She is dressed in an organdie frock with a hat to match. How cool and fresh she looks ! The other girl has black hair and a masculine walk. Her costume consists of a jilain white shirt-waists and skirt, stiffly starched, a white straw sailor, and low-heeled Oxfords. I am sure that I know them. As they come closer, I recognize them as Polly Watson and ]Martha \A'all. Our classmates are not separated so widely after all, for here are two of the very best friends still together, away up in Boston. Martha is teaching piano and voice in the Boston Conseryatory, and is yery successful and ha])py. Polly. '^ Why, she is now Dr. Watson, the leading woman physician in Boston. Funny old Polly ! She always wanted to be a man, and I see that she got as near to it as possible. The scene now changes to something yery different from the busy city. I behold a lagoon with many moss-covered trees growing in the water and on the banks. A canoe floats lazily out near the middle. In it are sitting, or rather reclining, a girl and a man. He is playing a guitar; she is reading a book and eating ciiocolates. How happy they look ! On tiie girl's left hand I see a beautiful solitaire and a band carved in orange blossoms. I've evidently come in contact with a recently married couple. The girl looks up and I recognize her husband, but I guess "Boo" had rather I would not tell. They are serenely ha]i])y, though, as every one can see. In my faithful crystal, I see now a moving picture studio in California. Thi'ough the door I see a girl with bobbed hair bending over a desk. A man is watching her as she signs a three-year contract to play for him. She lays the pen down with emphasis and looks up quickly. Gene Grenekcr ! A movie actress, and I am sure, a good one, for she siiowed us at Tubman that she could act. The Masonic Temple in our own town is now distinguished, and in front of it stands a "Cole-Areo." A girl and a man run out of a building and almost fall into the car. Mallie and of course, we all know. They're engaged now and seem to be very hilarious. This must be the day before their wedding! My crystal ajipears cloudy again, so I shall turn it over to my assistant, Dorothy, who will tell you of her section of our class of '21. I, in my turn, walk slowly up to the crystal. A hush falls on the audience as I begin to speak and tell them what I see in the mystic ball. The first scene shows me the picture of a large ballroom. I recognize the central figure as Xell Russell, now the wife of one of the "big" men in Wash- ington. Xor does she spend all her time in the ballroom, but in the clubs and various charitable organizations. She very plainly shows how iiappy she is and what a success her marriage has been. But the next picture is the very o))i)osite of the first one. I see a room in a tenement. The furnishings are poor and scanty. On a bed in tile corner lies a woman, and another woman is bending over her. I instantly recognize ^lary Hughes, doing nuich goo country an a\i- t^ority on literature. [42] . Tuhman MAIDS and A MAX Class '1 I see now a large gymnasium in a school in San Francisco. A teacher is superintending a game of basket-ball and when she turns around I recognize Mary Bostick. Slie has followed her talent and has a job that is mere play to her. Next I see the House of Representatives in session. ^VIlo is that speaking.'' Ail! yes. Belle Walker introducing a bill into the House. She is the first woman representative from Georgia. From reports she seems to be doing as vrell as any of the men that have jirecedeil her. The next scene is entirely (hfferent from any of the ])receding ones. I see a large aeroplane alight in a fielii. I see the aviator get out. But. no I It's an aviatrix. At first it is rather hard to recognize Irene Jackson in her smart leather uniform. She is driving the mail-plane between New York and Chicago. It seems rather strange tliat Irene would take up this branch of work, but then she always was a high-flier ! Now I see a busv office. Teacliers are coming and going. There is a meeting in the office. In the central figure I recognize Mary Ferguson, now President of Smith College. Although ]Mary is very efficiently filling her position, she has a few spare hours. She has contributed this time to writing and has produced Ferguson s First Year Latin, Caesar, Cicero, Virgil and a Latin Grammar. I hear that she is now working on a Latin Dictionary. As these books excel those of Mr. Charles E. Bennett, they are now being used in all of the best schools. Next, I perceive a large opera house crowded to overflowing. On the stage I see Martha Jarrell standing with her violin in her hantl, charming her audi- ence by her wonderful music. Nor is this ^lartiia's only interest, for, at the piano, accomj)anying her, is one who takes up a great deal of her time lier husband. The next time my crystal changes, I find myself back at Tubman. I take a peep in Room 20 and I see a teacher occupying Miss Flisch's chair. Her pupils listen attentively as slie says, "Now. girls, remember, liistorv is not made : it grows." I then recognize Lavinia Tyler, following religiously in the foot-steps of her predecessor. As I pass Room 27, I hear a distressed voice saying: "Mais, mes cheres.'' It is Mary McClure, returned to Tubman to teach French after several years in a French Academy. As I go by the Library, much larger than it was in the days we went there, I see Virginia Sturman. Since the school and the Library are both much larger, Virginia has quite a strenuous job. She took a course at Pratt Insti- tute and altho" ottered a better position, could not resist the temptation to come back to good old Tubman. Now I see a young girl, in crisp, white organdy, hurrying out of an auto- mobile. She is accompanied by a young Apollo in white flannels. They are iiurrying because they are late to a tea given at the Countrv Club in their honor. It is a week before their wedding and Frances Tennent and oh! well, never mind are "rushed" to the full extent of that ex))ressive word. I see next a young woman, in a j)lainly tailored suit, getting on a train. It is Lily Piatt on her way to a convention in Washington. Lily's time is com- pletely taken up by politics, and it is rumored that she will be the next candi- date for the Mayor of Augusta. .[43] Class "21 MAIDS and A MAX Tubman Tlie next scene is the gayest of all. It is Carnival week in Paris. The Queen of the Carnival is Paris" latest adored dancer. It is Margaret ^IcGowan, dressed in a gav costume, dancing her way into the hearts of the French people. And so, as the fairy books say, "I \w\w they will all live haj)pily ever afterwards." Now it is Gladys' turn to display her knowledge of the occult. Well, tJie last jjart of our performance will now take ])lace and I will en- deavor to locate all tlie senior "C's" of the class of '21. In the crystal I see Augusta. This probably means that the majority of the girls are still in this town. Dear old senior "C", it always was slow to move even in the days of campaigns, drives, parades, circuses, plays and honor leagues, and I am not in the least surprised at the biggest part of it still being in Augusta. Some people said that we didn't have the spirit, but I, being one of the class, can say that the spirit was there, only we were just slow and sure. Now for individuals. As I gaze into the crystal I see a dark-haired girl bidding goodbye to a tall man. What.'' Gertrude Moore, as sure as can be, bidding goodbye to her "useter-be-medical-student-lover" who is now her doctor- husband. I see, by the gleam in her eyes, that she is extremely ha])py. Soon the scene cluinges to a road. Wiiat road.'' Why, the Milledgeville road, to be sure! In the middle of tiie road is a Ford cut-down, blue with yellow wlieels, and but wait. The short, ))lum]) little chautt'eur is Minnie Goldie Fell and at this instant she is cranking that Ford with all her might. It is rather late for jMinnie to be traveling, but I see in the crystal ball that she has been in that exact spot for one hour and a half. There has evidently been a blowout. INIilledgeville road remains in the crystal, but to one side there now ajipears a prettv, green bungalow. At the back door there stands a plump littltjwoman in a bungalow apron. Her innnediate occupation is throwing feed to chickens. Rather late, I say, to be feeding chickens and they nnist have been hungry or they would have gone to bed without their supper. Ah! I ])erceive a cause for this untimely feast. Do you remember my telling you of the little Ford cut-down.'' Well, Minnie Goldie has s])ent the day witii her who used to be IVIelrosc Hamilton and was on iier way home awhile ago. These two class- mates of mine have obtained their heart's desire for Melrose always wanted a sweet, little bungalow with a latticed porch, and Minnie always said that she was going to buy herself a flivver when she got a job. Again I gaze into my crystal. This time I see two girls walking briskly U]) Broad Street. One, I discover is Ida Fogel. The other is Mary Rosen- blatt. They both are on their way home from work. Ida is head steno- gra})her in the New Biscuit Comi)any of Augusta, and Mary is bookkeeper in a large department store of this same city. I could have guessed this without gazing into the ball, for Ida broke all the speed laws in taking dictation during school days and Mary's bookkee])ing always was perfect, even to the checking. Ah! At very close range, looms the face of Katherine Rushing. I believe that she is at this instant sitting up in the "Peanut Gallery." Am I not right.'' "Yes,"' you say. Well, well, old "Shorty," I guess that by associating with me in your youth you formed the habit of haunting the "roost." I see in the crystal that you are at present keeping house foi- your brothers and sisters. Well, you will be kee])iiig house for someone else \-erv soon. Tubman MAIDS and A MAN Class '21 I now have a vision of a school room. The teaclier is none other than Kathleen Rosier. Her subject is history. I am not surprised for Kathleen always had a lot of knowledge that no one knew of. I see that she is loved by all of her scholars. Again I look into the crystal. This time I see a shij) just landing at New York. The gang plank is thrown down and who do you suppose are the first two who walk down it.' Why Elizabeth Greneker and Dornia Blitchington, and they have just returned from research work in Germany, hunting the late Mrs. Hohenzollern's fur coat which was lost during her flight into Holland You want to know whether they were successful or not. Well, if you must know, you will have to read the Augusta Herald, for I am not going to say. I said at the beginning that nearly all of my class was in Augusta, but now I see that there are few rolling stones. In the crystal I see a street that I remember very distinctly as being in Alabama. A large white house, built colo- nial style, stands on the northern side of the street. Tonight there is a fete on the beautiful lawn tiiat surrounds this stately house. The hostess is Miss Melanie Anderson. I presume that she is back in her beloved Alabama. The scene changes to New York City, and to the Knickerbocker Hotel. In the dining room sit Miss Anne Shapiro and Miss Margaret ^lilton. The brilliant lig'hts shine on tiie mass of beautifullv dressed women and the brie old gentleman speak of so nnich. I"\e always felt that I knew you and have wanted to meet you."

[6T] Class '1 MAIDS and A MAN Tubman An Old Faded Fan XN a secluded part of France stands a very ancient and old-fasliioned castle, known as the "Chateau Dc Berfrareaux." There for many cen- turies nobles and ladies have held their follies and enjoyed the luxuries of the old French monarchy. And, at the time my story begins, this castle was occupied by Lord Francis De Bergareaux, his motiier, and his lovely sixteen year old daughter, Stephanie. One day Stephanie, roaming about at her own sweet will among the ances- tral relics in the attic, came across an old faded fan. She picked the fan up and, examining it carefully, found that it was rather dusty and faded. She could not help admiring it, iiowever, for it was a very beautiful fan, indeed. Stephanie stood silent for a while and wondered where the fan could have come from and to whom it belonged. She finally ran down tiie attic stairs to find her grandmother, and pulling her out on tiie large veranda, seated her com- fortably, sat down by her, and then said in a connnanding tone: "If grandmother De Bergareaux loves Stephanie just a little bit, she will tell her the story of this faded fan." And as she spoke she waved the fan back and forth as if she were some noble lady at a rich ball. Grandmother De Bergareaux looked first at Stephanie and then at the fan, the latter being the one that brought tears to her eyes. "Stephanie," she began, "the history of this fan is a very sad one, but just the same grandmother De Bergareaux will tell it to you." And so she did. "It was on the night of a gay festival,'' she began. "All the lords and ladies were having a merry time. I was at home keeping watch over you, dear Stephanie, while your mother and father were enjoying themselves at the festi- val. It is said that your mother lost her fan on the way to the ball, and on entering the ball room she also lost her ring. The festival continued on through the night and everyone was having a lovely time. Finally, a lovely gentleman walked up to your mother and asked if he might speak with her a few moments. He was told that he could, so your motlier and the handsome gentleman walked out of the ballroom and out on the veranda and there the man told her that he had found a ring, and he had been notified that it be- longed to her. She thanked him greatly and told him that she had also lost her fan. He expressed his regrets and left her. Later your father was walk- ing on the veranda, and all of a sudden he heard a ruffling noise, and looking behind him he saw two men struggling over a black object. He approached [68] ruhman MAIDS and A MAN Class "21 them, and as he did, he discovered that they were fighting over the beautiful fan that vour motlier liad lost. He jumped for it, and as he did so, two re- ports from a revolver were heard, and all three men dropped dead. Tlie nobles and ladies rushed out of the ballroom and out on the veranda and there they found the three dead men and the fan. But no one knew who had done the shooting, until later years. The three dead men were your fatlier, the handsome gentleman tliat had found your mother's ring, and an unknown rob- ber. The handsome gentleman was jealous of your mother and when he saw the opportunity lie shot at your father and in one shot hit the robber and your father, and then the robber, half conscious, shot the handsome gentle- man. But I daresay I must not call him a gentleman any more. And that is liow all three of them were killed in two shots. And your mother, poor dear, grieved herself to death because she knew that siie and her fan were tile cause of your father's death. And then you, dear Stephanie, were left in the care of your father's brother and me. And Lord Francis De Bergareaux that you iiave been calling father for so long is only your uncle." 'Oh," cried Stephanie, "Oh, grandmother, how awful, how dreadful! I liate the horrid fan, I hate the horrid fan," ami at that she tore u]i into a mil- lion pieces the famous faded fan that had been kept in the old castle for sixteen vcars or more. And never again did the wise Stephanie go near the ancient attic, and what is more, she hates all fans, especially faded ones. Virginia Mobley.

SHELDON', head of the Department of English in the State Tni- versity, was addressing the Parent-'I'eachers' Association of Sparta, the little college town. His closinp' remarks were: ''And in tlie interest of developing the budding authors of our grammar grades, let nie suggest that tlie com))ositions they are told to write pertain to the world as they know it. Don't liave tlieni write on life in the Colonies or King Arthur's Court. Develoj) tlieir originality and self-expression. Give them themes on home and playground, Saturday, play day. I am authorized by the English Department to ofter a ])ri/e for the best essay from the fourth grade on some such subject as 'How I Spent the Week-End,' or 'What I Did Friday Night,' and I would suggest tliat tlie ])rize composition be j)ublished in the Sparta Banner.'' The Association adjourned, but the members, chatting in groups, watched witli interest an incident on the other side of the room. "'He seems very attractive.'* "'How long do vou suppose it will be before she gives liim an answer.''" 'You mean, make up lier mind! He iind John Smith ai-e running a close race from all ap])earances." Nor were the association members alone in tlieir interest. The wliole town was gossipping about tlie brilliant and liandsome young ])rofessor and his at- tention to the pretty little widow, Mrs. Andrews. Tlie ])ublic eye noticed tliat he joined her and togetlier tliey walked out of the building. As they strolled toward her home, Emily Andrews ran to meet them. "Mother, mother, can I go over to Mary's house and play in her new doll house .^" "Yes, yes, run along," answered her mother witii a relieved smile. Emily was very fond of the professor and it was sometimes hard to send her away. Acting on tiie professor s suggestion, tlie fourth grade teachers promptly assigned their children, among whom were Mary and Emily, a com])osition on "How I Sjjent Friday,"' to be handed in the following Monday. ]\Iany little hands and heads were busy Saturday, and many a family secret was frankly disclosed to the eyes of the interested teachers. The next Wednesday morning, Mrs. Andrews was more than surprised at reading in the paper : "Acting promptly upon the offer of the English Department of the Univer- sity, the fourth grade pupils have submitted a number of essays. The judges have decided that the following is the best and the prize was awarded the ,Voung author, Mary Spear, clever daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Earnest Spear of this city. [891 Class "HI MAIDS and A MAN Tubman " 'HOW I SPENT FRIDAY. " 'I will begin with when I got out of school Friday because I didn't spend Friday morning, school sjjcnt it for me. First, Emily asked mother could I spend the night with her, and she said, 'Yes.' We cleaned up the doll house and I put on a clean dress and went home with Emily. We read her new story book until it was time to help set the table for supjier. Soon as supper was over, Prof. Sheldon rang the door bell. He didn't seem so glad to see us, but he gave us a bag of peppermints. Then Mrs. Andrews told us to run and clear off the table, and then play in the dining room. So we did and we peeped through the crack in the door and watched them. Emily giggled and her mother heard her, and told us to 'run upstairs and play and simt the door. So we went upstairs and painted our cheeks like real grown ladies and put on some lovely long dresses. Emily was Mrs. de Graffennied and gave a party, and I was Mrs. de Bardeleben and came to the party. We had just lots fun excepting that Emily spilled some punch on her mother's pink silk dress. We started down stairs to see if they'd know us and Emily said 'Oh!' She pointed to the transom. I looked and saw them through the transom. And we stayed awful still and watched. He was talking so low we couldn't hear it. He took her hand and held it a minute and she jumped up and started to put some coal on the fire and he started to do it for her. And then he took her and kissed her ! Emily looked at me and I looked at her and then we looked through the transom again. Mrs. Andrews was crying and shaking her head and he looked worried and didn t know what to do. Then he got his hat and asked her something. She smiled and nodded her head and thev went to the door. When he said goodby he kissed her hand and she said 'Wed- nesday night.' " 'Tlien Emily and I ran upstairs and went to bed and declared we wouldn't never tell. ' 'That is how I spent 'Friday.' " Mrs. Andrews dropped the paper. "The little wretches !" she exclaimed as she ran to the telephone, "the wliole town's read of it now !" "Have you read the morning paper.'' ' she asked when the professor hail answered the 'phone. "Well, I just want to tell you, you can announce our engagement to your interested and in(iuiring friends ! And the sooner, the better!" She left tlie receiver dangling and fled to her room. That afternoon, an amazed and delighted Mary Spear received a five-ijound box of Huyler's hearing this card: "Dear Mar_v : Plase accept this in addition to the prize for your excl- (ent composition.

Clever Belle Walker Irene .laek^on '0\' Tubman MAIDS and A MAX Class '21 Thomson vs. Tubman Of course we had a good time at Tlioinson and beat their team 22 to .5! But let me begin at the very beginning. On tlie train going up. we were "kinder" scared and also very hungry. Nellie had some salted peanuts which she passed around, but our honorable, charming and thoughtful coach forbade our eating them. You know, how- ever, how peanuts naturally do they just ooze out of the sack by ones and twos and hungry girls cannot (unless against their consciences) inclose them again in their air-tight bag. A "sub' asked one of our forwards, the red-haired one, if the peanuts were Hiood and this truthful Tubman g-irl answered, "Tiiose I had, were want some.'"' But the little sub (also red-haired) refused; j)oor ciiild ! Little did she know what she missed. After passing through Grovetown, Boneville, and a few other jjrogressive burgs, we finally arrived at Thomson. We gave a locomotive Rah-Rah-Rah- Thomson, and then were carried to tiie High School in cars. The game was called for five o'clock and then the fun and suspense began. At first many shots at the goal failed, but. happily for us, our noble Forwards began to score and the first third ended with fi to 2 in our favor. Tubman was forced to ])ut u}) a good fight. Her side center was changed for each third. Sadly we saw some of Irene's well-directed balls fall into the hands of nimble Lillian, the "Cat," of the Thomson team. The Tubman "rooters" offered good advice and cheered our team to victory. When victory was ours and the Tubmanites had "Rah-rah-ed" to the limit of their ability, they hoisted Mary, "the bob-haired' forward, to their slioulders and gave her share of glory. After the game was over, we went to Loui.se's to "freshen uj)" and primp (you may be sure enough of the latter was done). It was then that we realized two calamities had occurred. First, our Jumj^ing Center had forgotten her well, anyhow, her something, she had recently bought Oh ! yes, it's jersey and changeable in color. Second, the red-haired forward had left her georg- ette skirt waist at the school and the doors were locked. Well, to relieve the suspense, or in other words, to let you down easy, our Jumping Center finally got her lost article; the Forward wore a middy in- 1931 Class '21 MAIDS and A MAN Tubman stead of her forgotten waist: and all of us powdered our noses once more and went down stairs to tea. As the newspapers say, "A delightful tea was enjoyed immensely by all." Later, while some danced, others played Rook. Before leaving Thomson, a certain P'orward and a Side Center saw that their ])ockets were well-filled with the forbidden peanuts. As the train pulled out, we Tubmanites yelled back our final thanks and good-byes and sank into our seats to think of the "GRAND" time we'd just had and to enjoy some of Mr. Garrett's choice chocolate candy and to reflect on the praise that we felt ivas our due.

As he liad known her only three weeks, he did not know much about her except that she was the dearest girl in the world. It was the first time she had allowed him to take her anywhere. >o he determined to select the most ex])en- sive ])lace he could find, although it was nearing the end of tiie month and his funds were nearly out. In fact, he had only twehe dollars. There she was now, waiting for him. He quickened his ste])s. After they liad spoken, Penn hailed a taxi. ''Penn, ' said Stephanie reproyingly. "yon siiouldn't have done that. We can walk to the Blue Rcse,*' naming a small restaurant. 'Blue Rose I Do you think I'm going to take you there when this is the very first time you have " "Then let's go to the Wayside." "No. I'm going to take vou to the best ])lace in town." "All right, we'll go to the Garfield." When they arrived. Penn handed a bill to the chauffeur, waving the change in a magnanimous manner. After the waiter had taken their order, Ste])hanie smiled at Penn be- witchingly. "Why did vou want to bring me here.'"" she teased. Penn blushed. He could do it so well, altlunigh he hated it worse than poison. "Oh er don"t bother me."" he returneil banteringlv. \Vhereupon she began to eat, as the waiter had brought their order. Penn was raising his fork to his mouth when suddenly his face froze in horror. He had given that chauffeur a ten dollar bill instead of a one! "What on earth is the matter.^" Penn swallowed hard. The office was right around the corner. Maybe he could borrow five dollars from one of the boys if he could only think of an excuse to get away I "I just thought of a \ery foolish tiling I did."" he said. "I left some rather im])ortant ])aj)ers on my ilesk and the window was open. I'm afraid the wind will blow them off. Would you excuse me a few minutes.'"' "Oh, I'm so sorry. Certainly I'll excuse you."' Penn pushed his chair back and fairly flew out of the ]ilair to the cdfice. At the door he stopped short. It was Satiinlay afterimon and r\erv(ine had a half-holiday! But maybe s(Hneoiie had Ntayed late to finish up some uork. His hope revived. He opened the door franticallv bv means of his own ke\. and there came to iiis eyes what he thought wa-. the sweetest sight he had e\er seen okl Tom Withers with a fi\r dollai- bill in hi^ hand. I'eiui rusju-d up to [l(m| Tubman MAIDS and A MAX Class '21 him. snatclK'd tlie bill from the hand of the bewildered man and rushed out again, crying over his shoulder, "Will explain later!" He opened the restaurant door with something like relief and entered. Heavens! To his horrified gaze came the sight of Tillie Uowen, who had the reputation ofbeing the biggest eater in town, seated by Stephanie. By some means or other, he finally reached the table and sank into his chair. "'Hello, Penn. I saw Stephanie sitting here and, as she looked lonesome, I joined her. I didn't think you'd mind," she said, quite oblivious of his mur- derous ga/e. "Er yes," said Penn. ''Did vou find the j)apers all right.''' asked Stejihanie kindlv. ''Er yes," said Penn again. As Tillie gave her order, he managed to scribble something on a ))iecc of ])aper and hand it to the waiter, unnoticed by the two girls. In a few minutes a tele])hone boy came in calling: "Wildruin ! Wildrum ! Mr. Penn Wildrum !" Penn seemed not to notice until Stejihanie said: "Isn't tiiat vou.'" "Here, boy !" "I.,ong distance call for you, sir." "I'm sorry, but it seems you'll ha\e to excuse me again, ' said Penn in a most pathetic manner. And for a second time he hurled himself out of the restaurant and into a taxi. "Here, take me to the nearest pawn-shop as fast as you can !" he cried to the chauffeur. "Yes, sir," answered the chauffeur, comiilying. He seemed to be used to such requests. "How much for this watch?" The ])awnbroker took it slowly from the man's hands and looked it over carefully and suspiciously. "Sixty dollars." "For goodness sake, give it to me !" and Penn was off again. He sat down breathlessly in his chair. "Bad news.'' asked Stephanie, nuich concerned. "Er yes er no I don't supj)ose so," he answered. After what seemed like ages to Penn, Tillie rose and left. He beckoned a waiter. "Check, please." "No check, sir. It is arranged." "You see, Penn, since you insisted on taking me to a high-])riced place I chose this one, and then Tillie coming in you know father owns this jiotel iihy, Penn, what arc you slumping down like that for.''"
