To learn to live honorably and unselfishly in a community, and share in the
government, is a part of the broader education for which we are striving, and it is
a duty which we owe to ourselves as well as to our College.
Our association based on the honor system has for its object to teach us to live
wisely, worthily and well, to share life's burdens and responsibilities.
The Business Manager's "If"
(With apologies to Kipling.)
// you would try to print an annual
Without two years in which to do it all,
If in the air you build your many castles
And think not one would ever fall,
If you would base your hopes and aspirations
U pon some printer s lordly boast,
Or risk the luck of your engravings
To some photographer who raves the most;
If you would fill each small but costly page
With portraits of a hundred lovely belles
And so leave not sufficient space to print
The stories that the English IV star tells,
Just have their name and their degree
In full significance or maybe
Compared with Oxford profs and Ph.D.'s;
If you are made the business manager
And promise to put it safely through,
Yet claim to have so many other duties
You cannot do the things that it requires of you.
If till the last you wait to start your annual sway
And yet expect a great and glorious success,
Yours is not an annual nor even bliss
And what is more you'd be a fool, I'd say.

Ode to Alma Mater
Oh. here's a toast we make to you,
Dear Alma Mater tried and true,
You're best of all schools old or new.
You re best for girls of Georgia.
} our hoary head has long looked down
To mark the progress of the town,
But still you staunchly stand to crown
These red old hills of Georgia.
W e love the ivy on your walls.
We love each book within your halls.
Each little thing about you calls
To us and makes us love you.
W e love the happy cheerful sounds,
The mirth that in your halls resounds,
The peaceful quietness of your grounds,
The serene sky above you.
In Winter we have watched the snow
So softly wrap the town below,
In Spring we've watched your roses blow
Upon your dewy lawns.
In Autumn we have heard the breeze
Go rustling through your lofty trees
And through the mass of golden leaves
We watched the rosy dawns.
And as the time for parting nears,
Here's hope that in the future years
That bring us either smiles or tears
As moments swiftly fly.
That always during life's attack
Whene'er we turn our glances back,
Oh, may we see the "Red and Black"
Forever flying high!

For the love o' iMike! What will Patti do? Her
restless enthusiasm and tireless energy are indicative
of an alert mind and a willingness to work.
She is adventurous and fanciful and extremely
romantic.
She dreams beautiful day dreams and her air
castles are marvels of imagination. May these
dreams come true and mav the castles hold all the
happiness that the great adventure entitles.

Kuth has a very commanding, demanding and
reprimanding personality. She is business manager
of everything on the hill. Although blustering, she
is quite "frank" in what she does and everybody likes
her. "And her head, Love, is full of knowledge of
_nery conceivable thing."

Nowhere can be found a more sincere person than
Flora. She is a delightful combination of social
charm and intellectual ability.
She is very ambitious, but in case her aspirations
in teaching should some day make it too strenuous
an occupation for her, she may seek her fortunes in
the fields of matrimony or should I say in the sea of
romantic adventure. A true lover of nature is Flora
and especially of Blue Ridge.

Senior Class Poem
''Here's to the Seniors of '21,
Who stand with reluctant feet,
Where the brook of childhood,
And the river of womanhood meet."
We thought we had reached the delta,
And were near in g the blissful sea.
Which from the turmoil of life means shelter.
And from all bondage e'er sets us free.
What a fanciful dream has disturbed us,
For our journey is only begun,
The stream looks fiercer down further,
We see no goal that we've won.
We know not what cliff on the morrow
Shall thrust us astray from our course;
We know not what joy or what sorrow
Shall bring to us better or worse.
Though dark seems our pathway before us,
And our childhood hopelessly gone.
Though no more shall our joys in chorus
Be sung as the class of '21:
Inspired by the friendships we've understood,
As our Alma Mater ideal we don,
We embark on this river of womanhood.
And fearlessly cry, "Sail On!"
Ruth Baker,
Senior Class History
N the fall of the year of 1917, twelve maidens registered in the
Freshman class of LaGrange College as seekers of knowledge.
They soon became famous for their unusual class spirit, and
the great manifestation of this was in the renowned party given
to their sister class on Valentine of that year. Such inter-class fights were
never witnessed on the hill before, as the one following that party, the echoes
of which have resounded throughout the years. The next year the class had
greatly diminished, possibly due to the romantic fever so raging then with
war heroes, just returning from France. The few remaining in school
studied so hard that nothing exciting happened that year.
At the beginning of the third year, only four of the original number
were left to exercise the duties of the Junior, and to enjoy for the first time
those long-coveted privileges. That year, for the first time, was held the
inter-class debate. Although we did not come off with the victor's laurels,
we were not discouraged, for we felt that after all the League of Nations
was not going to be adopted by the United States, even though the judges did
not give us the favored decision. There was also another feature of that
year that has been unparalleled in the college history, that wonderful, yea,
marvelous moonlight picnic on May 8. Who does not thrill with the joyous
memories of that truck-ride, the moon-shine on the river, the bonfire, the
dainty eats, the toasts to the departing Seniors, and most wonderful of all
those messages of love from the many beaux who were allowed to accom-
pany us?
All this made that year seem most wonderful of all to us but the
next year ah, the sublime happiness of being a Senior so near and yet
so far from that degree! And that year, with the four A.B. Seniors, four
diploma girls cast their lot, thus increasing the number as well as merri-
ment of the year. At the inter-class debate that year, we went forth en-
couraged by "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again." The beautiful
loving cup, presented to the history department by Fuller E. Callaway,
crowned the glorious success of the event. Thus we have much over which
to be happy, and our hope is to uphold the ideal of our Alma Mater and
to ever strive to perpetuate its standards of honor and traditions of service.

Senior Class Prophecy
One afternoon during commencement
of 1921, the Senior class strolled out to
Ferrell's garden our favorite walk for
a last good time together. We were very
light-hearted and talked excitedly about
the evening that would bring to us our
coveted degrees.
As we came to the gazing globe in the
garden, we paused, but lo! we found that
the gazing globe had miraculously changed
into a crystal ball in which we might
read our future. We eagerly gathered
around it, and the first thing we saw was a
picture, very clear and distinct. The
scene was in the auditorium of the college
building. Notes pealed from the old
organ, making a theme of triumphant joy.
We wondered what could be the occasion for such music, when our attention
was drawn to the procession that was making its way down the aisle in
stately, measured tread. We looked at each other in astonishment as we
realized that we ourselves made up the procession. At last we had our
wish "to see ourselves as ithers see us!" We saw our degrees delivered
to us, after which we passed out of the hall into life. The walls of the
auditorium echoed a strain of sadness from the joyous music, as if loathe
to give up its daughters. We stood quiet for a few minutes, thinking on
this scene. Then Patti said:
"Oh, girls, don't you wonder what we will be doing ten years from
9"
now :
Ruth broke in excitedly: "Look in the crystal."
As we looked, we saw a beautiful garden in which a man and woman
walked hand in hand. We recognized Helen as we heard her say: "Thee
knows I love thee, friend John!" We looked at Helen who was blushing
but looked quite happy.
We next saw a handsome, though gloomy-looking man standing in a
drawing room. Some of the guests murmured, "He has not been happy
since his wife died ten years ago." But even as he spoke, his gloom was
dispelled, and a smile beamed on his face. We looked in the direction he
had turned, and saw a beautiful woman approaching. By her endearing
smile of old, we knew it was Anna, still bringing joy to the hearts of
widowers.
Then we saw an office, in one corner of which cartoons were being
....
tossed on the floor with amazing rapidity. Three office boys were trying to
stack them. We looked to see the machine that produced these cartoons,
when we saw the angle of the picture turn and Ruth Whatley was sitting
over a desk with her pencil moving rapidly. She evidently received her
training as art editor of the Quadrangle of 1921.
Now a huge rock projecting high above a river appeared before us.
On the banks of the river stooped Patti gathering forget-me-nots. We heard
her explain to a friend that they had grown there after her last lover had
lost his life from Lover's leap broken-hearted because she had refused
his love. She sighed: "All for the love of Mike!"
There appeared before us a bungalow that won our heart. As we were
given a glimpse inside, we heard a low, sweet song. The song was a lullaby
and we knew that Lulline was happy in her own home.
The crystal now pictured the private office of John D. Rockefeller, and
we recognized Ruth Baker as she insisted on telling him that she had to
have some money. "Why I'm running for the senate against Tom Watson,
on the Hoke Smith platform. I've got to have it." Seeing him give her a
check, we sighed, "Poor man!" We knew how helpless he was before
Ruth's demand for money.
There next appeared a man standing beneath a vine-clad window play-
ing soft strains of music on a guitar, and singing in a tenor voice. We ex-
pected him to be handsome even to the point of god-like appearance, but
most truthfully he was not. We looked in the window above him and saw
Sara Davis casting a rose down to the serenader, and we knew that the
troubadour's tenor voice had won her heart.
We then saw pictured a chain of mountains with a large white building
in the valley below. Immediately, we recognized Blue Ridge. On the
higher mountains we saw dimly a person gazing at the sunset. Without
looking closer, we knew that it was Flora again on Mount Mitchell.
We were still dreaming of the glimpses we had seen of our futuxe,
when we heard Sara say in a disconsolate voice:
"I always said I could love any man who could sing tenor, but I hoped
that he would be good-looking!"
With that the spell was broken, and we laughingly started back to the
old college hill. Flora Franklin, '21.

A Story
There's a story old.
Of a class so bold,
A story that someone told me.
And if you 11 be good,
As you said you would
Then I will relate it to thee.
'Twos in eighteen, dear,
When at first we hear;
Some Freshmen as green as the grass,
'Twas at old L. C.
So the folks tell me.
They banded themselves in a class.
Then the time flew fast
And they every one passed
As Sophomores they grew wise.
Oh! they were so gay.
And so fair in play!
Their Glories then rose to the skies.
Then the next ive see.
Loyal, brave and free,
The Juniors, the Big Junior 'leven!
They were fine and true,
Ever pleasant, too.
The Juniors, the Big Junior 'leven!
And at present date.
If my news isn't late,
That Class at LaGrange seeks the light:
To their school anew
Every day they're true.
Then here's to the Purple and White!
As the years roll by,
Howe'er hard you try.
You'll ne'er find a class that's so fine.
'Tis a secret, Nell,
That you must not tell.
But that grand old class, dear, was mine.

When evening sets her lamps alight,
And all the world seems fair and bright

I dream of the things we used to do.
I dream of days of long ago
And of the pal who loves me so
And in my mind I keep in store
Those treasured memories of yore.
And may that love oh pal o' mine
Like stars, in both our hearts still shine
And just as long as skies are blue
So long my love shall e'er be true.
Then love alone shall fill our hearts
They'll have no wounds by cruel darts
Nothing on earth our love can sever
For we shall be friends forever and ever.

MIND
Y. W. C. A.
The motto of the Y. W. C. A. "I am come that they might have life and that
they might have it more abundantly" is the aim of the association on our campus.
We work towards this purpose bv providing wholesome good times for the girls, and
more by trying to bring the students into personal knowledge of Jesus Christ. The
new girls are welcomed to the college by notes of greeting sent to them in the
summer by the Y. W. C. A.
The biggest purpose of our Y. W. C. A. is to bring the students into fellowship
with Christ. To this end are our services planned and to this end does our cabinet
with its committees work. Spiritual leadership is developed by using as many
girls as possible in the work. Each year a number of our girls attend the summer
conference at Blue Ridge, N. C. There, apart from all but Nature, God, and peo-
ple who are friends with Christ, they get inspiration to bring back for the work
the next year.
Not only on our own campus are we trying to bring the abounding life of
Christ, but by creating a social consciousness, we hope to give this life to others.
This year our greatest help was given to the relief of the students and Children of
the Near East and to the Famine Sufferers in China.
Something of the spirit of the Y. W. C. A. which we would have pervade the
campus is found in the quiet of the Y. W. C. A. room, where the work of the asso-
ciation is planned.
"And so I'll find it well to come
For deeper rest to this still room,
For here the habit of the soul
Feels less the outer tvorld's control.
And from the silence multiplied,
By these still forms on every side
The world that time and sense have known
Falls off and leaves us all alone."
Our Societies
IRENIAN SOCIETY
Some years before 1885 dates the founding of the Irenian Literary Society.
There had been in earlier years a society called the Caroline Hentz Society, another
called Beth Hacina. Why these names were dropped is not known, but later there
was only one Literary Society in the College.
It is interesting to know that the "Irenian Casket," a small paper, was edited
and printed by the members of the society. This was discontinued many years ago.
The Society Hall was in the College building during these earlier years and
every student was a member of the one society. Rigid discipline in regard to at-
tendance and participation in its work was maintained.
In 1886 the society divided into the Witham and Murphy Societies. A short
while afterwards they reunited and in 1887 the one society divided in to what are
now the Irenian and Mezzofantian Literary Societies.
The Irenian Literary Society is proud of its many years of progressive work.
By active participation in its programs and obedience to its regulations, initiative
and discipline are developed.
The highest aim of the society is to develop a cultured taste and appreciation
of good literature.
MEZZOFANTIAN SOCIETY
The Mezzofantian Literary Society was organized in 1887. For a long time
there was only one society, the "Irenian," but due to the lack of competition, it was
thought best to divide the one. Therefore, sides were chosen, and the new society
was named the "Mezzofantian," after the Italian linguist, Mezzofanti, who spoke
forty-seven different languages. Although the present Mezzofantian literary society
cannot boast of such accomplishment, we can say that we stand for the highest ideals
of life. Much talent and originality are developed at the meetings which are held
two Saturday evenings each month. The interest and pleasure manifested at them,
prove an excellent diversion from work. May each member as they come and go,
receive some little good from the meetings of this society, and may it be an influence
to make life worth while and make them proud to say, "I am a Mezzo."

The Future of LaGrauge College
ROPHESYING without inspiration is of uncertain value. If in-
dulged in moderately, however, it may have the virtue of offer-
ing encouragement to those who are hoping and laboring for the
achievement of the things prophesied.
uture of LaGrange College lies in the hands of its friends, not in
the lap of the gods. Nor was there ever a time in its history when its fu-
ture seemed more bright and fair. The unprecedented gift to the college
by the people of LaGrange of the magnificent sum of two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars augmented by the allotment of three hundred and
fifty thousand dollars from the Educational Movement has rendered possi-
ble the realization of the fondest dreams of those who have loved and la-
bored for the college through the years.
From the income to be derived from the endowment we shall be en-
abled to provide a faculty sufficiently large to offer many additional courses
in the arts and sciences and to secure improved facilities and ample equip-
ment for instruction in the various departments.
The plans projected for the physical development of the institution
are sufficiently broad in scope to meet its demands for many years to come.
These embrace the erection of new buildings of architectural design to har-
monize with those now in use, and containing ample space for the accom-
modation and instruction of the largely increased attendance that we may
reasonably expect. Under the direction of an expert engineer, winding
roads and graded walks will be constructed around and upon the hill, and
the landscape gardener will lend his skill in setting lawns and trees and
shrubbery, until the old hill shall veritably be a spot crowned with the won-
ders of art set amid the beauties of nature.
The Friendship Garden
Although it is January, and winter's dull gray mantle covers L. C.'s
campus, so glorious in the springtime, there is one small spot on the col-
lege hill that cannot he dull and gray and lifeless. This is none other than
the heloved Friendship Garden, which is now somewhat vaguely outlined by
a slight, yet unmistakable green. Is this green only a remembrance of
what has been, and is passing, or else is it a token, a promise for the fu-
ture? It is both to one who loves the garden. It is not dead but alive to
us with the memories of each lover of L. C. "Associated with this small
spot of earth are those whose presence still lingers. In this garden, as a
shrine, and in memory of these, Nature offers in the springtime a profusion
of blossoms."
Beautiful indeed is it when all those tender things with sweet perfumes
and glorious colors come forth to welcome the bright warmth of spring.
Just as each tiny seed, now hidden beneath Earth's frosty shroud, is the
nucleus of life which will abound in beauty, so is each friendship one of
God's greatest blessings and when appreciated and cultivated, becomes the
centre of happiness. Just as each rose in the garden is perfect in its love-
liness and lasting in its sweet perfume, so may each friendship at L. C. be
as perfect and complete and as lasting in its sincerity.
Thelma Chunn, '22.
A Reverie
In a quiet little village,
On each side the sloping hill,
Green with verdure of the spring-time,
Stood an old deserted mill.
'Twas a quaint unique old structure,
As though built long years ago,
And within each chink and crevice,
Lichens in profusion grow.
But the oaken logs stand steady,
Yet unmoved by ivar of time,
As front 'neath their firm foundation,
V p their sides the ivy climbs.
But the old mill-wheel is silent,
And the ivater ripples on,
And it seems to ring so cheerful,
Of the days now past and gone.
Oh! how bright the crystal liquid
Sparkles in the glowing sun,
As if happy in its conscience,
Of the good that it has done.
Then as I sit in idle musing,
On that bright and sunny day,
1 fall asleep: and in my dreaming,
Thus I hear the old mill say:
Let your fancy follow with me,
1 will tell you all the story;
Why I stand deserted, idle.
Why the wheels with busy turning,
Grind no more the golden grain.
Let your fancy lead you backward,
I will show you scenes more happy,
Bright ning up the days of yore.
In this snug and cozy valley,
Close beside this little streamlet,
Lived within a tiny cottage
( You can see it standing there )
The miller gray and daughter fair.
She was like a radiant sunbeam,
Happy as the morning songster,
Fair as ever daylight shines on.
And she watched the merry sunbeams,
Lighting up the little streamlet,
Till it glistened in its surface.
Watched the timid little minnows,
Darting like a streak of silver
Through the pool and o'er the ripples;
Watched the sparkling of the water,
As it turned the massive mill-wheel.
On a bright and sunny morning,
She was standing in the doorway
Looking doivn the winding roadway.
Then her father stood beside her,
And he stroked her hair and asked her:
"For your thoughts a bright new penny''
Then the youthful maiden answered,
As she stood tip-toe to kiss him.
"/ was thinking, dearest father,
Of the story you have often
Told me as we sat together.
Of my brother who had left us,
Long before I ever knew him;
Went out west to seek his fortune.
Of him since, there's been no tidings,
And I wonder if he's living^
You have told me you were angry
At some wrong that he had done you,
And had sent him from your dwelling,
But you since then have forgiven.
How I wish that he were with us!"
As she spoke again she kissed him,
And again looked down the roadway.
Then she saw a horseman coming
Cross the brook and come straight to them.
He was very tall and handsome.
As the maiden looked upon him,
All her mind ivas filled with fancy.
Neither did she see her father
Turning pale before the stranger,
But she saw and was astonished,
And she seized her father's coat-sleeve
For the stranger quick dismounted,
Hastened to her father standing,
Murmured, as he knelt before him,
''Forgive me. father, I would ask you.''
Why longer need I make this story,
How they left with son and brother
For his home in distance somewhere,
Left me here deserted, idle.
Then I wakened and in twilight
Still I saw the quaint old mill.
As the parting rays of evening.
Shot upon it o'er the hill.
Then the shadows quickly lengthen,
And across the valley lay,
As if warning me to journey
Soon upon my homeward way.
But I linger and in silence,
Save the rippling of the rill.
Then I wave my hand in parting,
In farewell to the quaint old mill.
A Discover
'Twas the night before English,
And all through Smith Hall
Not a creature ivas stirring
No one out, at all.
The girls were nestled
All snug in their beds,
While fears for the morrow
Were filling their heads.
There was no moon to shine
It was dark on the Hill,
And it seemed to us all
Things were never so still.
When all of a sudden
A shrill cry ivas heard
The girls were afraid
They could not speak a word.
Once again the scream came
And no one would stir
But the house president, thinking
It ivas expected of her,
Stuck her head out the door
And with boldness said:
"Who is that waking us?
We all are in bed.
And our money is locked,
Clear out!" she would cry
And no answer was heard
So she ceased to be shy,
And she opened her door
And flashed on the light
To see what the trouble was
On this still night.
y
In the hall was Mary Lane
Dancing up and down
Her head lifted high,
And whirling swiftly around,
She caught sight of the house-president
And oh! she looked mad.
This officer said: "What can I do
With such an unmanageable cad?
Speak out, or I'll report you
And never again you will
In all of your life-time
Set foot on this Hill."
Then Mary said, "Dear, do forgive me
For you cannot know
What it ivas I thought out
Just a minute ago.
I got the topic sentence
For paragraph 2."
"Oh! that's different," said the officer,
"And I excuse you."
So up and down Smith Hall
The sentence was passed,
And all the girls in English I
From first until last
Uncovered their heads
And joined in refrain
To praise the wonderful
Mary Lane.
Then to sleep they went,
Forgetting their fright
And wishing for all
A second good niqht.
Margaret Smith.
College Campaign, 1920
Tn the spring of 1920 was begun a drive for LaGrange College, the
grand old institution, that has for years overlooked the city, guarding its
intellectual welfare. Although the people of LaGrange cherished the col-
lege in their hearts, nevertheless, for years they had sat silently by, hardly
conscious of their inactivity. Not until the suggestion of the removal of
the college to Atlanta was made by Bishop Candler, did the people of La-
Grange realize how the college was struggling. Then every citizen was
brought face to face with existing conditions. "What would the hill be
without the college?" was the cry on every side.
A campaign was launched to procure sufficient funds to keep the col-
lege at LaGrange. Every true and loyal citizen rallied to the standards, be-
cause each person was indignant at the thought of the removal of the col-
lege. In the mass meetings that were held, public sentiment ran so high
that evervone was sure of success. In the High School each pupil wore a
badge: every boy wearing one containing the words: "Save the college
for my sister"; and every girl wearing one with the inscription: "Save the
college for me." Old and young alike were stirred at the thought of los-
ing the college. When an issue is felt so keenly as this one was, the only
possible result is success. In the drive for increasing the funds, LaGrange,
as usual, went over the top with a subscription of $250,000. Thus was per-
petuated the institution, whose influence has been felt through the past years,
and whose ideal will continue to serve as a beacon light to many in the years
to come.
Mabel White, '22.
A Day in the Conservatory
T 8:13 our worthy director may be seen standing with watch in hand,
waiting for "zero" hour. He has the air of a man determined to do
his duty, come what may. The hour arrives. With a firm step the
director walks to the west wall and presses a button, which lets loose
an immense volume of noise, respectfully termed an electric bell. At
this summons teachers and pupils come swarming up the steps and go "Over the
top" onto the stage which is "No man's land," and hasten on to their respective
stations there to battle valiantly with the day's problems and perplexities.
There is a frantic search for music which has an aggravating habit of getting
into the wrong box; a slamming of doors, and the work of the day has fairly begun.
Soon from a distant room comes the sound of a piano; another answers from
the opposite end of the hall. Immediately, as if stung to action by this challenge,
the noise of half a dozen pianos burst upon the ear. To the general confusion of the
pianos is added the hearty efforts of the devotees of the vocal art. Hark to that
soprano, as she lodges a high C in the uppermost corner of the building.
Observe the puzzled and care-worn expression on the faces of the harmony
students trying to unravel the mystery of intervals; major, minor, diminished, and
augmented.
List to the struggling efforts of a young violinist as he trembles in the brink of
a tone, coming so near and yet so far from the true pitch.
Then is heard the wailing voice of an expression pupil imitating the sound of
the wind, or of another saying with dramatic earnestness, "And she fainted on
"Reginalds breast: or of still another thundering out in commanding capitals:
"Silence Slave! 1 Command Thee!" Even the pianos pause for a moment on their
wild career, but for a moment only, and then break forth into a din that is even
worse than before, and Bach, Chopin, and Tschaikowsky vie with one another in
drowning out the mighty voice.
The deep faltering tones of the organ arrest our attention as the "light fan-
tastic toe" of an aspiring student trips on the pedals.
Then may be heard the tapping of the "Woodpecker Club" zealously working
out different rhythms. The following brief dialogue gives one an insight into the
struggles of these earnest students who are striving to acquire the "soul of music":
Pupil: "Teacher, my throat is dry."
Teacher: "So is mine, but keep right on counting."
Later in the day come the members of the Glee Club, and a mighty volume of
song resounds through the corridors and pours out of the windows over quiet La-
Grange like a Methodist benediction.
At 4 P. M. come the faithful members of the Orchestra. And then to bring
order out of chaos, harmony out of discord, is a task that requires a "long pull, a
strong pull, and a pull all together," and be it known that there is harmony in
the pulling together if not always in the tones produced.
The clanging of the supper bell rends the air, bringing forth a series of dismal
howls from "everybody's pup," for this is the last straw and his overwrought nerves
will stand no more. But to the students it is a welcome sound; and so the dining
hall is the Mecca towards which the stream of hungry pilgrims moves, and the
supper table is the shrine at which they worship.

Reniininisceiices
/ "How mournfully sweet are the echoes that start,
/ When memory plays an old tune on the heart."
/ivly earliest association with the LaGrange Female College began in the early
seventies, and this sketch, therefore, will seem to those who may chance to read it
like harking back to ancient history. But to me, how distinct is every face of my
girlhood friends, how vivid each scene of my childhood!
As I said, when I first knew dear old "College Hill," it was lovingly and
facetiously called "The Widows' Resort"; for it was in the Reconstruction days
after the Civil (uncivil) War, better designated now as the War Between the States.
My father left LaGrange, mayor of the town, and then Captain of the Evans
Guards, and was killed at the battle of Perryville, Kentucky, just a few days before
he would have been thirty years old. My mother, Mrs. Mary Evans Curtright, left
a widow at twenty-four, with three small children, myself the eldest, was, like many
another woman of royal Southern blood, not able to rear these children in idleness.
As she herself had been a graduate of the College, she, with Mrs. Mary Broughton
Montgomery in the literary department, and Mrs. Florida Ferrell Pressley in the
music department, and Mrs. Avarilla Amos Pryor in the art department, were
elected to take charge of the school, my mother moving her little family there, and
"taking in" the boarders who might come.
All these ladies had been widowed by the war hence the name. "Widows'
Resort." Now, besides these widows there were two gallant cavaliers, fresh from
the University at Athens, Benj. G. Swanson, with a heritage of rich blood in his
veins, and Albert H. Cox, a bright young attorney, who at different times had charge
of the classes in "Language" as we termed it then. And right here to be fair to
all, I must say there was precious little studying done in this department, except
upon such subjects as our "chignons," "waterfalls," and our "Grecian bonds," etc.,
as each lassie made sure that one of these Lochinvars must have his eye on her. To
be sure, we could conjugate the verb "Amo" and thought we fully comprehended its
meaning. One particularly bright girl wrote the following verse, and passed it up
and down the class during lesson period:
"Amo, amas, 1 loved a lass.
And she was tall and slender;
Amas, amat she kicked me flat!
For she was feminine gender."
But now do you suppose for a moment that our teacher scolded us? Not he!
Bashfully retiring, with hat raised, he assured us that the charming representatives
of femininity in his presence were entirely "too fair indeed for love like ours."
Then springing into his Stanhope, his driver, "Dub" gave the command "On,
Modock," and very soon the blooded horse had cleared the distance between Col-
lege Hill and Ferrell's Garden, his home being near that sequestered spot, where it
would be safe to surmise that all LaGrange maidens were courted.
One episode in my life, if you will permit a personal allusion, occurred about
this time, which shaped my entire future. My mother and her family of small
children, with a few boarders, lived upstairs in the dormitory just west of the chapel.
The school activities were conducted downstairs.
One wonderful Sunday afternoon, Maggie and I (she was a boarder) were
sitting on the side of the bed in our room, when "mirabile dictu!" just at the land-
ing near our door which was open, stood two well-groomed young men, evidently
conscious of the fact that they were very much out of place. About this time, my
mother with gracious hosptiality invited them into the parlor. They declined, as-
suring us that they did not know that the building was occupied; they were strangers,
etc., exploring the town which had been the home of Benjamin Harvey Hill, John
B. Gordon and the Colquitts, but did not mean to be intrusive. They had been
through the Chapel, they announced, which to us meant taking their lives in their
own hands. For this building, then fast falling into decay, was the abode of bats
and owls, and a most unsafe place for a human being. Indeed, any girl who dared
to pass within ten feet of the building was "kept in" after school to learn fifty
definitions as a penalty. These boys were Allan Rhodes and Jim McClure the
latter became my husband a few years later. He was a refugee from Mississippi
and orphaned by the War. But I was always proud of my coatless sweetheart, as
he afterwards told me that he was wearing a borrowed coat at the time of our first
meeting. You see we were both "war babies" or products of the War, the only
difference being in my favor, as I still had my mother.
Well, as one of the girls always expressed it, "tempus fugits" and so it did in
my case. We moved back home.
Then came the days in college history of Burch, Johnson, and Morgan Calla-
way, each one a fine scholar and Christian gentleman. If I might claim the time,
I should love to write about something definite in the administration of each one,
but I must pass on.
The Methodist Conference finally gave us the peerless Heidt and the indomit-
able Mason, the latter proving himself a Mason indeed. For if I mistake not, he
it was who completed the College Chapel building or at least made it habitable.
This building had been rebuilt just so far, after the accidental burning of the old
one in the days of the Montgomerys, when the tocsin of War was sounded, and in
a state of incompletion, it was left exposed to the weather for a period of ten or
fifteen years. There it stood, quietly fulfilling the Scriptures, "Dust thou art and
unto dust thou shalt return."
But nothing daunted, there were girls who even dared to scale the walls of that
dangerous pile of ruins.
To corroborate what I say, there still live in LaGrange representatives of such
names as Cary, Frost, Evans, Ferrell, Ridley, Poythress, Ward and others, many of
these having made their mark in Church, Literature, and Art circles, due in a great
measure to influences started in this great old College.
Not like a child, who always wants the best of everything first, I have reserved
the best for the last, and beyond all fear of question or cavil, the best days of this
institution came with the coming of Rufus W. Smith, "Uncle Rufus" of beloved
memory. He with his faithful wife, competent and talented sons and daughters,
made the college what it is today, a safe place for young women. I think the Class
of '98 one of the finest, if not the finest, body of women I ever knew. Pardon me
for saving this, but my eldest daughter was one of this number.
So, here's to old L. F. C.
May her influence spread,
Until lawyers use grammar,
And dunces are dead.
Until no one dare say
In this land of the free,
"I done" for "I did"
And "IT'S her" for "IT'S she."
Begging your forbearance, I cannot close this article until I have attempted
to relate just a small number of pranks and jokes we played during our school days.
01 course we had our "sats" or chums, and to each other, we became con-
fidants. My best friend and I always knew the two boy explorers as "The Knights
of Dilapidation." But to be dilapidated in the matter of wearing apparel was no
uncommon condition at that particular period of time. Nevertheless, we girls had
a custom of "swapping" the clothes we were wearing for green plums, blackber-
ries, etc.
There appeared one day on the campus a negro girl with such green plums,
apples, etc.. as 1 had never seen before nor since. Immediately a bunch of us made
our secret way to the Chapel to interview Miss Nigger. We all wanted her wares,
and I so much so, I offered her my apron but "nothing doing" and so on came
offers of hair nets, round combs, bonnets, basques, chignons, ad so forth and so on.
Finally when the bell had rung, and we were about to quit in despair, she emphatic-
ally stated that none of us had on anything she wanted but "that girl over there,"
pointing to me. When the girls told her they knew she could get it, she said. "Her
hoop skirt." Off it came, one of the girls lending me two of her starched petticoats
to appear in. at my next class.
The teacher, of that type described by Hawthorne, thundered out the query,
"Miss Curtright, where have you been?" and like George Washington, afraid to tell
a lie, I told him. "What doing?" he asked, and as near as I could. I told him. He
assured us that he would take charge of all the green fruit. As we had had no op-
portunity to eat any of it, we lost the fruit, had fifty definitions to our credit, and I
was minus a hoop skirt, and a mother to be reckoned with at home.
But ah! those sunny days, with the "choosing sides" in spelling matches, and
speakings Friday afternoons. We had to spell the word, pronouncing the syllables,
giving the accents and definitions, and "take it from me," to be modern, some of
those girls who never did find out anything about the "grandeur that was Greece
and the glory that was Rome" could spell to beat any band.
Can we girls ever forget the glow we felt when the class was dismissed and an-
nouncement came "Queenie Broughton will speak, Rachel ean will play, and others
will sing this afternoon." "School takes in at one o'clock, a half hour sooner than
usual to give time for the class in 'Cal-is-then-ics." This, or something similar,
every Friday afternoon; and no Schumann-Heinck concert was ever more enjoyed,
I suspect.
Then the soirees, levees, and tournaments we had just before commencement!
No Germans or Pink Teas, but the crowning of the Queen of Love and Beauty at
the skating tournaments meant infinitely more to us. Truth to tell. I scarely recog-
nized my Knight of Dilapidation at a tournament when he was representing the
Prince of Wales in blue satin and silver costume rented for the occasion. To us
girls our tournaments in rope jumping and fence vaulting, to say nothing of our
teams in croquet and town ball far surpassed anything in the realm of gymnastics.
Most girls have, I think, three ambitions, the actress, the trained nurse, or the
foreign missionary. The first of these possessed my soul when as "Cudora. Queen
of the Nymphs," I took part in the operetta "Lily Bell," "The Culprit Fay," with
the beautiful Viola Frost playing the part of Titania. Queen of the Fairies; and
again when the cantata of Esther was given at the College, the writer takine; the
part of the Prophetess, with employed help on the leading roles of King and Queen
Haman and Mordecai.
Later, this cantata was given entirely by local talent. Professor and Mrs. Alwyn
Smith directing it.
A word about my music teachers: they were all Germans with the exception of
Mrs. Pressley. a fine teacher herself, and to them I owe much of my love for the
Art Melodious. Prof. Fischer had occasion to correct my singing, and told me I
did not hold the note long enough. I asked him how long I was supposed to hold
it, or what rule applied to that expression mark. Looking me straight in the eye
with forefinger impressively raised, he said, "You hold dat note, young 'lairdy' shust
so long as it sound pretty, and den turn it loose immediately at once."
My mother received a note from Prof. Erdmann with the startling announce-
ment that my sister, also a music pupil, was "at dis minute skinning de cat in his
class room when she should he practicing." But later on, she married a Methodist
preacher in spite of such gymnastic accomplishments.
So all along the dear girls have settled up and settled down. One more in-
cident ere I write "Finis."
A memorahle day came when our professor of Mental and Moral Philosophv,
Rev. Abner Callawav. father of our own Dr. Enoch Callaway and Fuller Callaway,
called a meeting of the Senior Class. I did not have an "inkling" of what was up,
hut obediently faring forth to his class room soon found out. He announced, after
holding me in mortal suspense for some time, that the class had unanimouslv chosen
me for their Valedictorian. My humiliation was painful indeed! What would I
not have given for just one year of honest, earnest application to offset the time I
had spent in carefree, giggling girlhood ! But I decided to redeem the time left ;
and not to seem irreverent, the old Hill proved to be my Mount of Ascension, for
at once I began to want to play to the higher audience; and knowing that the girls
knew what I could and could not do, I determined to be honest, and not plagiarize
in the writing of my graduation composition. We did not have "themes" and "es-
says" in those davs. but very much depended on the wording of our subjects, and
my selection was "From Shore to Shore." Seeking the shade of an old tree (still
standing I I wrote or thought out the ideas 1 wished to convey, determining to give
more time to the pursuit of learning, and less to the pursuit of happiness.
Much of happy, joyous life intervened between that time and Commencement
Day the following June.
As we had no assembly hall, and old Stirling's Hall out of repair, our grad-
uating exercises were held in the old Methodist Church. When I came forth from
that occasion, a child of scarcely sixteen, I felt the weight of the world upon my
shoulders.
For many years my life has been spent in various localities, and always I have
found friends; but naturally enough, not like the dear friends of my youth.
"Then cherish friendship in your breast,
New is good, but old is best;
Make new friends, but keep the old;
Those are silver, these are gold."
Annie Curtright McClure.
Class 1873.
The Happiest Life
ERE in this wide and extended land, where heaven with a hand
loving and unstinting, has lavished every good the heart could
crave; where noblest rivers irrigate the soil and varied rich-
nesses to toil yields its fruits; where ceaseless verdure clothes
the smiling earth; it has fallen my lot to express a thought in regard to
which of its inhabitants enjoys its productions most.
It is a natural propensity embosomed in the heart of human nature to
environ ourselves with every material characteristic of happiness. We are
constantly drinking the air before and borrowing a more refined existence
from objects that hover on the brinks of nothingness. Our eyes are clothed
with indistinct and airy colors of fancy in a word we never cease build-
ing and rebuilding castles in the air. And always persuade ourselves that
everything in connection with them to be emblematic of happiness.
It behooves me in speaking of the enjoyments of the different classes
of mankind to mention but a few, as the field is too spacious for me, to
do justice to all. We are all birds of the same feather, though of great va-
rieties in color. We are bond and free, rich and poor, wise and ignorant.
Just as different as the features of man or his temperament. What is agree-
able to one is disagreeable to another. Then who lives the happiest life?
It cannot be the slave, because the hand of his master is monarch over
his household and he reaps but little benefits of his labor.
It cannot be the freeman, because egotism is his sovereign passion.
'"More freedom" is his watchword and nothing but blood is satisfactory to
quench his thirst.
We all strive after wealth, because it is a universal impression that if
everything is exuberent around us, our pleasures are increasing in propor-
tion. But to his sad disappointment, he who accomplishes his design finds
himself enrapt in the dark mantle of misery.
It cannot be the poor because the very name of poverty is synonymous
with discontent. Nor can it be the ignorant because his name fool bears
the sneers and ridicule of the world. It is not his nature to be contented to
remain so low in the scale of human existence.
Knowledge is said to engender many enjoyments. But the laborers in
the vineyard are never satisfied because they are eternally spinning cobweb
distinctions between what things are and as they find them in books. They
shut their apprehensions up in their own hearts in order that they may dis-
cover nothing to convince them of their absurdity and interfere with their
prejudice.
Why may I not here assert that the happiness of the educated woman
exceeds that of the man? She cultivates literature as was once wisely said,
"On a little plain oat-meal, not brandy and. punch and mint julep." She
has fewer pretensions and is less interested in theories. Her mind is not
filled with musty notions and she never reasons wrong, hecause she doesn't
reason at all. She judges ohjects more from their immediate impression on
her mind. Heaven has made her mistress of some intellectual faculty that
adds a great deal to her enjoyment. She can always contrive a plan to hold
her chosen companion under her thumb. This is said by some prejudiced
brain to be instinct.
Confine man to a life like hers, where the anticipation of no honors
would await the performance of his duty. His boasted Magnanimity and
fortitude would expire and leave him a monument of powerless and fallen
ambition.
The old maid one of the noblest daughters of our race, has her
pleasures unsurpassed, because she has no sharer in either her prosperity or
misfortune. She is the sole admirer of her heroic and noble achievements.
We cannot but be astonished at the fortitude, the courage, the devotedness
and the fidelity to her duties.
Notwithstanding her brow is ornamented with the richest diadems of
happiness, she occasionally falls from her high state of exhilaration into
spasms of madness and discontent. But like the lightning's flash, it dis-
appears in a moment's time and passes by as the idle winds we regard not.
Place man in her situation and instead of her enjoyment he would
either degenerate into a savage or sink into perfect insignificance. To ex-
emplify this we have merely to mention the name "Old Bachelor."
In conclusion allow me to repeat the life of the Old Maid is un-
doubtedly the happiest. Be it so I have no anxiety and do earnestly be-
seech Kind Providence never to enlist my name as one who enjoyed the
happiest life. Caroline E. Ware, 1853.

Miss Potter in Expression: "Susie, give

MY ROOM-MATE.
A Thing with pigtails long and straight
That looks so very queer,
A Thing that snores so hard at ninlit.
Why. that's my room-mate. dear.
A Thing that wears my nicest clothes
From hair to brand new shoes,
A Thing that cheers me, loves me,
Why. that's my room-mate, too.

When the chimes of the rising bell rang
through second floor hall Wednesday morn-

order was sent by her to Miss Frazier:
One loaf of bread.
Sweet potatoes.
Half pound cheese,
Condensed milk,
Cocoanut,
Bannanas.

CAN YOU ANSWER?
Where can a college girl buy a cap for her
knee?
Or a key to the lock of her hair?
Can her eyes be called an academy
Because there are pupils there?
In the crown of her head what gems are
found ?
Who crosses the bridge of her nose?
Can she use, when shingling, the roof of her
house.
The nails on the end of her toes?
Can the crook of her elbow be sent to jail?
If so. what did he do?
How does she sharpen her shoulder blade?
I'll be hanged if I know, do you?
THE TWO VALENTINES.
Once on a lime, the story goes,
There were two maidens fair to see.
And though they loved each other much,
Still on one point they'd disagree.
For fate had willed when they were horn
That lots together they should cast.
And they were twins like as two peas,
To make their bond of union fast.
On who was first they disagreed,
And with their age it stronger grew,
And each would boast on every day,
That she was "'one," the other '"two."'
So it went on until at last,
'Twas solved for them and in this way.
And ever since they have been glad
That valentines still have their day.
For on one morn the postman came
And brought two letters large and fine,
As soon as each her lot espied.
She knew she had a valentine.
'"You are the one," the first one said,
"And love around my heart doth twine.
For nothing more on earth I'd ask.
If you would be my valentine."
The other said, ''Will you be mine?
I think of you whate'er I do.
And when one speaks of angels pure,
I ever think that you are, too."
Thus came their messages of love
And told of hearts both strong and true.
Then on this point they both agreed.
''If you'll be won, I will be, too."
Soph to a Sub (new student): "Are you
classed as a sub?"
"No, I'm an academic."
English teacher: "What did you find out
about Shakespeare's parentage?"
Mary: "I looked everywhere, but I could
not find a thing about his parents' age."
Sara: "I want to be a Major in Math., but
what will I have to do to be something in
English?"
Marv: "You'll just have to be a Captain,
like the rest of us."
Sophie: "Wheie is Miss Meadows?"
Freshie: "At a faculty meeting."
Sophie: "Well, what club is that?"
Luline. packing to go home Christmas, and

AN EXCLAMATION WAIL.
My hair is thin and gray.
From Care I it must be so ) .
And from my studying hard
To try to wiser grow.
If Caesar had but died.
And left his wars untold.
If Cicero hadn't tried
To be an orator bold.
So folks would think him smart
And hand his speeches down.
To puzzle you and me
And all our woes to crown!
And those history chaps
It does astonish me
To find how mixed they'd get
Just when they oughtn't to be.
Then think of Algebra,
And how its x + y
When mixed with other terms
Just makes a fellow cry!
And if, if. there wasn't
That dread Geometry.
And O. it's bad I know
To hate Philosophy.
But if there never was
Such things to puzzle one,
I surelv would be glad
And have a lot of fun.
And would I then be wise?
Well, that I do not know.
I'd either wiser be
Or else I'd number grow.
Two Freshmen were on their way to col-
lege. The following conversation was over-
heard :
Mary: "Are you going to have a college
or dormitory room?"'
Jane, with a disgusted air: ''Why. a dor-
mitory room, of course."
Mary: "Well. I'm sure glad Mamma en-
gaged a college room for me. 'cause I don't
imagine I'd like to live in a dormitory."
Martha Brooks, a little Freshman, who
had acquired the art of arching her eyebrows,
came dashing into ady Zue's room and ex-
claimed :
"0! Lady Zue. please lend me your eye-
brow ploughs."
Teacher: "What three words are used
most by college girls?"
Student: "I don't know."
Teacher: "Correct."

The lesson in Psychology had been on
instincts. Fear, as an instinct, had been
thoroughly discussed; Miss Gray to Flora:
"Would you be afraid to cross the acean?"
Flora: "Well, I wouldn't mind it much if
I were on my honeymoon."
Miss Davis also informed the girls that al-
though some people feared thunder, lightning
was lots more dangerous. Valuable informa-
tion.

After having discussed will power in Psy-
chology class, Miss Gray asked Lois Brand

THE HALLOWEEN BALL.
On a beautiful October night.
When the stars were shining bright.
A wonderful masquerade ball
Was taking place in L. C.'s gym hall.
It was. of course, the night of Hallowe'en.
And 0! the funny sights that were seen;
There were ghosts and gob'ins lrrking near
And those witches would surely make you fear.
That night shall ne'er be forgot with its joys.
For then we were allowed to see all the boys.
And 0. bring back the memory of those eats.
Just one of those many L. C. treats.
Now come, girls, and listen, one and all,
Of the grand time we had in gym hall.
When you choose a school, your Alma Mater
to be.
Don't forget the good times we had at L. C.
Whv is a car with a punctured tire like
Latin?
Because it is jacked to the limit !

Mr. Lowman: " AT iss Ogletree. whv are you
not familiar with 'The Fairy Queen'?"
Susie: "Grandmother says 'Familiarity
breeds contempt.' "
Anna: "Shall we make the jello now?"
Lulline: "Yes, if vou think it will con-
sume by nine o'clock."
Mr. Thompson: "Those girls whose radi-
ators are not in good condition report to me.
and I will make it hot for them."
IT REPAYS.
Nothing one does, if he does it well.
Is easy and simple and quick, and
The task of life is a difficult task
To do it well and right.
Nothing comes easy, the strife is hard.
But the thing worth doing, ah that repays.
For the ache and the grief and the dust and
the grime.
And the infinite plan of toiling days!
A group of girls were discussing movie
stars as Miss Meadows approached.
Laura: ''0! Anita Stewart is going to play
down town to-day."
Miss M.: "She's one of the new girls,
isn't she?"

Mary. leading student prayers: "We
shall continue our study of the ten com-
mandments. I am going to now take up the
twelfth one."
* * * *
After having devoured an inch of cheese
straw at supper, Virginia exclaimed: "I be-
lieve these things have cheese in them."
* * * *
The ambitious girl meets life's test
By tackling a thing for its best;
She begins with a heart's good will
And gains her goal and even more still.
The girl who does not try.
Has let her opportunities go by.
She fails to get the best out of life
Without so much as even a fight.
If you are ambitious and all seems dense
Do the best you can with your common sense:
Work and show the best of your skill,
Some people won't like you. but others will.

The Growth of an Idea
An idea is a seed which flowers into
beautiful perfection only when every ele-
ment required in the soil of its production
is present, and the hands which nurture it
are skilled for the peculiar task which
they are to Perform.
No matter how original the plan uPon
which the annual is constructed, how
artistic the designs, how brilliant the read-
ing matter, the final success depends upon
the visualization of these ideas in such a
way that the printed book is the living em-
bodiment of the spiritual conception.
A Perfectly equipped factory, together
with thirty-four years of sympathetic co-
operation with many annual staffs,
should, we believe, fit us for the work of
combining our mechanical skill with the
editors ideas to produce the highest qual-
ity of college annual.
