' T Ye have heard of the deeds of the Master x
* When He dwelt here on earth among men esc How He clothed and fed the poor people
a nri +r>nlr thp suffering in.
Ye have heard the cry of the millions, Who daily knock at your door,
Hungry, seeking for food. Shelterless, poignantly poor.
Have you heard those clamoring voices? Oh! let them not call in vain!
Do you think you can turn and forget them? They will surely call you again.
So let's in the way of the Christ child On this His hallowed day
Fill the hands that are empty, And turn not the needy away. Willie Mae Mathews.

ACT I.

Scene 1. A Room in Every Student's Home.

[Enter Every Student and Miss Careful.]

Every Student--How wonderful! To be able to choose

whatsoever path I desire--(goes to books on table.) Math?

No, indeed! History? I think not! Science? No, only

in a general way! English? Oh, what could be more beau

tiful. Here abides my choice! If my enthusiasm will only

last! > { .

v

r,

Miss Careful--My dear, you are choosing an interesting

and comprehensive subject, and as I dismiss you frona my

private school to-day, nothing could please me more than

knowing you have chosen the patch which so many

should choose.

Every Student--I'm off, dear teacher of mine, to find

Mrs. Good Speech, mother of Natural Diction, for I must

know all pertaining to good English to be able to fill my

little comer in the world. (Curtain.)

Scene 2. Office of Good Speech. [Good Speech sits at desk, Messenger present.] Good Speech -- Someone knocks. Hundred Per Cent

see who is without.

Hundred Per Cent (goes to the door)--It is Miss Every

Student, my mistress.

_ri . . ,

Good Speech--Bid her enter. (She enters.) It is with

great delight that I greet you, Every Student. Have a

chair and tell me that which you most desire.

Every Student--Mrs. Good Speech, knowing you to be

the mother of Natural Diction, I come to you to gain

knowledge of the path I must travel to attain my ambi

tion-- mastering the science of language. Good Speech--My child, I delight in your choice. I am

always glad to welcome a new student to my school. You

will find many who would tempt you from your chosen

path, but be faithful and I promise the result will be far

beyond your expectations. Every Student--Farewell, Mrs. Good Speech, I am off

to accomplish my purpose now. (Exit.)

Speech. Hundred Per Cent, what are you star

ing at?

Hundred Per Cent--My mistress, Every Student will
not attain your goal. Before she had crossed the thres hold she met Luck and Laziness and in their usual happygo-lucky way they made her acquaintance and are hurry ing her away from an hour's intercourse with English Grammar to a football game.

I gl&d you realize her temptation, for you had the same before you became 100% efficiency Luck will do her work first and leave Every Student en^tirely susceptible to Laziness. But let us not give up hope--we must win her back.

(Curtain.)

ACT II.

Scene 1. Dining room in Luck's house.
[Enter Every Student, Luck and Laziness.]
r _ Every Student -- This is the happiest evening of my life. Just one month ago to-day I met you dear friends and now you are honoring me with a dinner. I can't tell you how I appreciate it or how I have come to love you this past month.
j-u- k^ziness--You have indeed become one of us, and with this dinner we welcome you into the path of life with us.
(Knock is heard from without.) Luck--Come in! (Enter Zero Flunk). For whom is your message ?
Zero Flunk--I am sent by Mrs. Good Speech to deliver this message to Miss Every Student. (Exit.)
(Every Student reads message.) "Every Student, you had a noble dream. The weeks rolled on and so it happens Luck and Laziness with slang phrase and mazy dance Have doomed you to failure By taking a chance." Luck, I must hurry to see Mrs. Good Speech--you will have to finish this party without me. (Exit.)

a dance at the gym. next week.

^

Every Student--I was going to see Mrs. Good Speech,

but that can wait! Do tell me about the dancek ^ ; Sentimental Phrasing--Oh, my dear, there is to be &

most gorgeous dance, which will indeed be a place for

Doctors, Lawyers, Merchants--oh well, no beggars allowed,

understand? It is to be a grand and glorious affair where

every maiden strives to be the most dazzling butterfly.

There are to be the most adorable, the most heavenly

Charlies in attendance! The girl who does not lasso one is--

simply not in it when it comes to vpnping. And by the

way, dearie, you must try to be a little more airy-fairy-

darey in your talk if you want to get in the swim with

some handsome young fellow. Every Student--Do tell me how to make my speech

more attractive. You don't know how much it will mean

to me. But did you know there is a young lawyer here by

the name of Ever Progressive whom I am wild to meet?

Frivolous Speech--All right, come with me, my love,

and I daresay when I'm through with you, you will be glad

you did not go to Mrs. Good Speech to-day. For who wants

to be on his p's and q's about his speech--^balancing every noun and every verb, every adjective and every adverb, as

if it were a matter of life and death? Fie on it! Sentimental Phrasing--Oh, my dear, I have met Ever

Progressive! He is the loveliest young man! He is tall

and has broad shoulders, and is so strikingly good looking!

He knows just how to show a girl the most marvelous time.

All the girls are crazy about him! Darling, if you could

make him fall for you you would be renowned. Sugarfoots,

Pm thrilled to a peanut! I'll be tickled to death to intro

duce you!

ACT III.
Scene 1. Dance at the Gymnasium a week later. [Enter Every Student chaperoned by Sentimental Phrasing.] Every Student--Oh, Sentimental Phrasing, the first thing I want to do is to meet Dr. Ever Progressive.' Can't ybu lead me to him now ? Sentimental Phrasing--Yes, sweetie, don't you see that wonderful looking man in the corner with Dr. Good lit erature ? Every Student -- Oh, that frump? Why does he want to be bored with him ? Sentimental Phrasing *-- I am wondering the same, m'dear. But see, he is nodding to me now--so let's sur round him with love. Hasn't he the most beautiful eyes? So soft and dream-like! They alone are enough to make any girl go wild over him! He isn't so very civil to me, though, tries to reform me; however I could forgive him for anything. (They go across the room). Oh, Dr. Ever Pro gressive, I want the loveliest man in town to meet my new found friend. Miss Every Student. Ever Progressive--I am certainly delighted to meet you! Every Student--Charmed, I'm sure. Sentimental Phrasing--I enjoy being in such delightful company, but I will leave you a while if you will excuse me. Miss Slang has such a worn expression that I feel I must cheer her up. (In a whisper to Every Student) Re member! The lightest speeches are most alluring! Ever Progressive--Certainly, but we are sorry to have you go. Every Student--Oh sure, dear pal. (Aside) Yes, I'll remember.
(Exit Sentimental Phrasing).

THE PINE BRANCH
Ever Progressive--Miss Every Student, are you study ing here?
Every Student--Oh horrors, yes! But let's forget it! Have you heard the latest on Doug, and Mary ?
Ever Progressive--No, I'm sure I have not, but I am seldom interested in their jokes. I like their pictures, it's true, but there's usually no depth to their light jokes. By the way, have you seen Robert Mantel in "Macbeth?" ,,,
Every Student--No, I'm sorry to say, I had tickets to it once but turned it down to go to see Wally Reid in "Sick A-Bed."
Ever Progressive--I'm sure you'll soon learn to regret giving up the real things for the new, frivolous ones. 'Tis true they are pleasures, but they are nothing to the won derful knowledge of having seen and understood a play of our beloved Shakespeare.
Every Student--Yes, you are making me think, a,nd with thought comes the knowledge of how utterly foolish I have been to neglect Mother Good Speech and all things really worth while. Now, I have lost all interest in to night's dance, for I am eager to find Mother Good Speech and get her to take me again into her care; so I must be going.
Ever Progressive--To leave so soon? I'm truly sorry, but delighted that I have awakened you, for I have an in terest in you that will ripen into much more than friend ship if properly encouraged. May I see you to the office of Mrs. Good Speech?
Every Student--I will be so glad to have you. I'm sure by "properly encouraged" you mean that I must make my self worthy of your trust, love, and society.
Ever Progressive--Exactly! But shall we be going? Every Student--Yes, I'll get my wraps. Ever Progressive--And I mine.

Every Student--Oh, I am so happy that I have returned to you, and you have received me so graciously that I feel I shall never tire of working to beautify and perfect my speech, and I quite agree with you that one cannot cheat one s self into. the good use of English. One must burn the midnight oil. It will be only a short time I will have to do this, but, oh, the years I'll have to enjoy it will make all the work greatly worth while.

PrimruB?

Vague as half-forgotten music, And as quaint as lavender,
Primly petaled, but as pungent
As are frankincense and myrrh; Like a modest lassie--
Of the gay crowd, yet apart, Hid behind the tiger lilies. Cupping sweetness in her heart.

i |i Hi;

Are there pictures in your mind which will be with you

as long as you live? Not pictures of splendid snow-capped

mountains, nor of moonlight on the water. None of these, though they are glorious in memory, but little pictures of

life in its most intimate relations--pictures that come to you with a vividness that doesn't lessen with the years, and

with every recurrence there is the same feeling of pain, and sympathy, and longing to help that you experienced

in the beginning ? fhn* wnH'aaiHsT ~ This is the picture T carry with me: A tired, dej ected young girl, near twenty,^standing at

the door of a telephone exchange jn a.large city. It was

near dusk and I was walking down the street. I halted as

I recognized her as an old friend, the favorite of her home

village, the pet of one of the "select" families of the town.

She threw her arms around me and kissed me. "I'm glad

to see you, yet sorry," she said, "for I have reached this.

Dad's gone--we don't know where; mother's ill and Inez

refuses to work. You know Tip could never see very well

and his eyes are worse now, so I must `carry on. Do you carry with you any picture like that? And do

you suppose God stamped them there indelibly to keep us

human ?

'Twas at the station that he saw her. As she stepped from off the train,
And her graceful, snappy bearing Sprung a whirl storm in his brain.
Quick he sought an introduction-- No chance so good as then and there.
Soon he begged a stolen meeting, Telling how, and when, and where.
``Don't forget the afternoon; I'll be waiting in---- --'s waiting room."
Soon came the day that he had looked for. Sure enough, she went to town.
But being so engaged in shopping She neglected calling 'round.
In the meantime, there he waited, Calm at first, with hopes so high,
But later on, he grew despondent, And most of all when night drew nigh.
"Don't forget the afternoon; I'll be waiting in---------'s waiting room."
Following day, there came a letter Which recalled in phrase refined
That he'd planned just when to meet her-- And did she forget the time?
Frankly, he was greatly puzzled. Things to him, he said, seemed queer.
Did she really mean to shun him? Or did she not remember where?
"Did you forget the afternoon I waited in---------'s waiting room?"

mi? Hur? of OHiristmas p?
Everybody dwells at length upon the pleasures of Christmas. Everybody sings praises of turkey and cran berries, and anticipates the joy of old English plum pud ding. But there is one--Lure shall I call it? which no one seems to have thought worth mentioning--that of the Christmas pie.
How I look forward at Christmas time to the day when mother makes Christmas pies! So eager am I to help her with them that I am up early, hours before mother descends to the kitchen, gathering the materials. With what delight I place the ingredients bn the kitchen table and carefully arrange them, as a florist arrangers flowers for a wedding!
Sometimes I have restlessly waited for half an hour or more before mother makes her appearance, but the delay only increases my eagerness. I never lose any time when she asks me to help her or bring her something--oh, no!--I almost run over myself to keep her from waiting. It is a joy to have the privilege of adding a little spice to the "fillins'. I can picture mother now standing over the great bowl, stirring, stirring, stirring, every now and then adding a little more to the mixture. The more she adds, the better it grows.
How interesting it is to see her struggling with the huge lump of pastry! The mastery of it is an art. How incredible it is to see the big lump of dough rolled out and out until it reaches every corner of the board. I stand back in amazement at the "spreadiness" of it. How care fully mother arranges the thin sheets in the pans, and how gently she adds the filling! An expression of calm satis faction spreads over her face as she completes the work of art by adding a border made with the points of a fork.
Of course, I always get a little pie of each kind for my self; all just like mother's. Cherry pies and apple pies and custard pies--every kind of pie to please a Christmas ap petite. As I view each pie separately, I feel as proud as if I had made them all myself.
If I could only help mother make Christmas pies every day!

"Silence is golden" is an old proverb that would prove oi inestimable value if practiced more frecjuently by every one.
How many people chatter continuously instead of con versing on interesting subjects! It would be better if the chater box kind would be silent sometimes, because usually such people are bores to intelligent people.
I heard a saleswoman in a store once say: "0! deliver me and let me hide; I see Mrs. Blank coming and she al most talks me to death."
. Possibly this remark was a little unkind, but in a sense
it was true. The woman talked so much that it had beT come a disease with her. Everywhere she went people avoided her, and even her family physician warned her that if she did not stop talking so much the saliva in her mouth would go dry, and she would die! The advantage of being silent was no mere phase to this good woman.
The Puritan fathers had a felicitous way of dealing with such personages. As far back as 1763, in Massachu setts, we are told, scolds were gagged and placed near their doors, where they were forced to be silent, as an object lesson to their neighbors. This custom made women more careful in speech and banished family quarrels from home. W hat a paradise if only the Puritan mothers could have been so successful in dealing with the Puritan fathers!
Business men lose their trade by not knowing how to be silent at times. Physicians and lawyers lose their prac tice in the same way. Relatives and friends quarrel with each other and become estranged. Husbands and wives separate and make their children homeless by talking too much.
It is often the case that a character is ruined by a word of slander that had better been left unsaid. It is true even here in our college that a slight remark is sometimes made by an envious person about a perfectly good girl, and this remark is added to and repeated until it becomes a slander ous thing. Certainly the advantage of knowing how to be silent in a case like this is more kind and just; it displays a Christian spirit and meets with the approval of one's conscience--which is in itself a great blessing.
Catherine Austin.

A happy, benevolent .Christmas spirit is already pervad ing the thoughts, words and actions of all the students of the college. Ye lords and ladies are making ready for a the college. Ye lords and ladyes are making ready for ye olde English festival -- the happiest occasion of the year at S. G. S. N. C. Then we turn the pages of history back to ye good olde days in merrie England; we lay cares aside and feast upon good things in the manor hall; we dance, play, laugh and sing. Nor do we forget the Christ child whose birth we celebrate, but amid the revelry we sing the joyous Christmas carols, and finally by the dim lights of the Christmas candles we steal away, every heart string atune with the long loved strains of "Silent Night, Holy Night." In the stillness that follows we feel that the spirit of Christmas has entered each heart and that the Christ child is born anew.
Then, too, does not the festival come on the night be fore we go home, where other pleasures await us, and where Christmas cheer more truly abounds? Oh, ye lords and ladies, well may you be happy as' ye look forward to the festive night; methinks you'll be far happier when you are again just "mothers' little girls" on Christmas eve.

Man's eternal optimism is no doubt one of his finest qualities. There is always some one back of all the world's great movements who has thought the thing out and be lieves fully that it can be done; a preconceived idea which blossoms forth when nurtured by a believing spirit.

warped, it does not coincide with all the facts of the case.

If we take a different set of facts, there is just as much

evidence that young men and women are becoming more serious and earnest.

The college woman is very much interested in the Dis-

annament Conference. In the timesi of war, women are always the victims of the suffering, sorrow and anguish of

war, while the man is in the glory and glamour of battle.

So the college woman is hoping and praying with her sisters

everywhere that di^armafnent will usher in Peace.

(And think of the .educational advantages when f the

m(toeyt.nsM to keeixiah army and nav^ can be used to build *

and equipbmGre' * and * better schools ` and colleges in every

statp ml the > Unions ^The expenditures for the army and

navy jumped from $237,000,000 in 1914 to $1,283,000,000

in 1920. What if educational institutions had one-third of the last named amount to use!

^ women are the chief sufferers from war they are also the greatest gainers by peace. It is in peace

that they most nearly find the desires of their heartsr-- culture, refinement, beauty and all the graces of education.

1 his argument applies strongest with the college woman.

For the girls and boys of to-day will be the citizens of to

morrow. It will be their work to shape and mould the

lives of the coming generation. But the colleges for women

are peculiarly interested, and especially the normal col-

lege^j, as they will be the teachers, the instructors of our

youth. Why not give them a better chance and remember

that a great democracy always flourishes in great educa

tional tides.

Through the courtesy of the Valdosta Times we use as a frontispiece this month a picture of the College plant and student group which was originally published in a recent special edition of the Times. We are particularly happy to have this picture of ourselves, because it is the best picture of the College so far obtained. It will bring a particular pleasure to our subscribers among the Alumnae, and will be treasured by those of us here as a keepsake. We thank the Times.

Governor Hardwick.

The South Georgia State Normal College had the honor of entertaining Governor Hardwick at breakfast on Friday morning, November 5th. Of course, everyone was pleased to have such a distinguished visitor. Among the other guests who were present were members of the board of trustees, the College faculty, town students, and a good many of the Valdosta people. After the meal the governor gave a very pleasing addresss to the college girls, then he and the party accompanying him retired to the fair ground,
where he was to be speaker for the day.

Y. W. C. A. Presents Dr. Southwick.

On Wednesday evening, November 9th, the Y. W. C.

A. presented Dr. Southwick in "Othello." This was indeed

a treat for all who attended. The play was given at the

High School auditorium. Dr. Southwick is president of

the Emerson School of Oratory and we feel rather fortu

nate in securing such an excellent speaker. It was also a

great pleasure f or us to have him as our guest in the col

lege home.

The Hallowe'en Party.

When all is dark, and the wind doth howl, And everyone is sleeping, save the wise old owl
All spooks in front of the terrace meet, Most especially those who would like a treat. Come promptly at eight without delay, For all must be over by break of day.

Supper was served a little later than usual on this par ticular evening, and everyone appeared masked.
No one uttered a sound during the meal except in
shrieks, lest she should be recognized.

LOCALS Immediately after supper the guests assembled out on the lawn, and indeed the sight was blood-curdling as these mysterious white figures wandered to and fro. After leaving the lawn everybody gathered in the ro tunda, seating themselves in a circle on the floor. Prizes were then given to the prettiest, ugliest and smallest ghosts, after which a ghost dance was given in the center of the circle. After refreshments were served, everyone was invited to pass through different mystic passages, such as: Hall of Horrors, Spooks' Studio, Land of Mystery, Testing Fate, Two-headed Woman, and many other such places, all of which were intensely interesting. Everyone enjoyed the evening and was grateful to the Y. W. C. A. for having prepared such a delightful program.
