Nations may rise and fall, wars rage and end,

And Princes flourish and forgotten be;

Yea, love may perish as beside the sea

To friend prove faithless; yet each, year shall send

The mocking bird to nest 'mid orchard trees,

The wood-thrush to his grove; and when wild

O'er slumberous water pools, 'tis good to know

Blue birds will circle, singing as they fly,--

Good to be sure, when trumpet flowers glow

By clear cool streams where oak boughs toss

In March fling golden fringes to the gale,

That the humming bird in April will not fail 1

To Our Readers:

This issue of the Pine Branch, which is the last one for

the year 1921-1922, is the Senior number. We have

included a goodly proportion of our Class day program

numbers. This is not entirely literary; so if material

seems of local interest, and if the personal ref

erences used lose their point, the reader may be

assured that they have point; and many of the allusions

which no doubt seem colorless to one who does not under

stand, glow with a joyfulness to those of us who understand.

In a large sense, therefore, this issue is a souvenir, dear

primarily to the hearts of the Senior class.

It is believed that anyone who is interested in college life

and in college antics will sense the spirit, even as did the

audience who attended Class Day exercises, and join with

us in the fun.

History of Class of 522

In September, 1917, a shy little girl was admitted to

the Sub A class of the South Georgia State Normal Col

lege, choosing the Sub A in preference to the Sub B, for

she knew that her class need not start at the very bottom,

because of its pep and brilliancy.

One month later the class had the honor of receiving a

very dignified young lady, although a typicarcollege "green

horn." These two together, namely Mary Ethel Moses and

Estelle Barker, upon entering the school boarded the South

Georgia State Normal Special. This special was to take

thdnis M <five: year&i' to Diplomasville, that is to the begin

ning* Of success. And it was to make five stops, and at

each stop rest for three months.

-

The train traveled along smoothly that year and the little

class of 20 won much fame for itself, particularly in win

ning the Field Day banner for the first and last time in its

career.

Mr. E. H. Powell was acting as President of our road,

while Miss Gallaher was our faithful Superintendent

throughout the trip. During this first year Miss Louise

Johnson was Conductor and Mr. Fred Moss engineer. All

went well until the time came to make its first stop in June,

1918. Many on board the special wanted to transfer, so

they left the train for various other coaches, and some we

fear just fell off.

In September, 1918, the special pulled out for the sec

ond time. On board were many new members. Among

them were Sallie Kate Wolfe, Mattie Stipe, Rosa Lucas,

Waver Hodges and Jimmie Carmack.

: At last people realized what a good class we had, for we

had to turn down many applications. This year we showed

all our many talents, especially in being a "Nigger," for we

won first prize for the best stunt, a negro minstrel, given

m chorus. We also composed the best song for marching

to be used by the college and were given a beautiful bouquet

of roses. With all we had a splendid group of girls and

when the train stopped next time it seemed that nobody

wanted to get off, .and a very few did. As we were ex

pecting many more girls when we started again, w#- put

the train in the shop, had it overhauled and another Pull

man attached.

When we started out in September, 1919, Miss J. Marie

fl

Craig, who had been our ticket agent during our Freshman

year, remained loyal and sold fifty-three tickets for the

Sophomore trip. She said those having bought round trip

tickets this time were: Aina Williams, Juanita Parrish,

Maggie Lou Cook, Willie Mae Mathews, Birdie Van Brackle,

IK

Mary Crum, Mae Crum, Alma Lee Day, Ruby Meeks, Hen-

rilu Ivey, Chloe Ivey and Mary Poindexter. While on this

top we had the joy of helping lay the corner-stone for one

of the most beautiful buildings in South Georgia, which is

Dormitory No. 2 of the South Georgia State Normal Col

lege. We were overloaded more than ever this time. It

seemed that the train began to ride a little rough and many

had to get off, but it started again in September, 1920, with

the vacancies made by the departure of a few girls filled by

Gertrude Moore, Jewell Meeks, Helen Bruce, Gladys Fair-

cloth, Mary Cobb, Mary Sue Cannon, Julia Harrell and

Gladys Harris.

We had one of the greatest thrills of our life during this

trip, and that was giving the Junior-Senior reception. The

interior of West Hall will never look more beautiful than

it did on this occasion. This was the second year that the

two classes were allowed to lay aside their white uniforms

and wear their dainty, beautifully colored organdy dresses.

Our class this year were hard workers, having arithmetic

under Mr. Wood, but we had time for play too. Had the

honor of winning the basket-ball tournament, but not a

loving cup.

On September 9th, 1921, after our vacation of three

months, we could almost see the sky-scrapers in Diplomas-

ville, the city that two of us five years before had boarded

the special for. We noticed before beginning this time that

we could accommodate two more girls, so these places were

filled by two of our best Senior members, Sara Cox and

Clyde Palmer.

The train was running smoothly but swiftly now, and

there were many exciting murmurs running through the

group about nearing our destination. But just as we were

all comfortably seated, there began a mighty uproar at the

head of the car and soon it was found that Practice Teach-

Btd

History of Class of '22
ing was causing a great disturbance and we just knew that our critic teachers would see fit to put us off before reaching this beautiful city of Diplomaville. We worked, oh! how we worked trying to be dignified, for now we were the highest class and knew that we must be a shining example to our younger sisters. That year we saw our Dormitory No. 2 completed and we had the pleasure and honor of being the first Senior class to stay in it. Its beauty was an in spiration to all of us and it made that year the happiest and most successful of any in our history.
And now we have all reached Diplomasville and we don't know whether to laugh or cry! It has been so pleasant to be here, one entertainment after the other. The Juniors gave us a beautiful reception, Miss Mecoy and Miss Men delsohn gave a lovely little afternoon party, the Rotarians entertained us wonderfully at Zipperer's Beach and last, we are to be entertained Tuesday night by the alumnae.
But even among such gaieties we realize the sadness of having spent our last year in college together and it makes us almost wish that we could begin again.
Our class of '22 hopes to leave behind it an ever-abiding influence and source of inspiration to those who are to come after us.
"Farewell! But whenever the bell chimes the hour That summons the classes to Learning's glad bower. You will think of this class that once gathered here, too, And studied each lesson as deeply as you. Long, long, be each room with our memories filled. Through the halls when the sound of our voices is stilled; You may take, you may fill every place, if you will. But the memories of our class will hang 'round it still."

Gass Prophecy

Prologue

Time--About six years after my memorable visit to New

York.

.

Place--In my home.

Characters--A friend and I.

During our conversation we had wandered to the subject

of my visit to New York and the wonderful things I saw

there.

"What was the most unique thing you did while in New

York?"

"Well, it is a bit hard to decide, but I think it was seeing

my college mates again."

"What! you can't mean that you saw every one of them

there, can you?"

"Oh, you misunderstand me. I saw them in a crystal

globe in the apartment of Cogia H. Alhabbel the prophet.

Of course you know I had to imagine the conversation, but

it was not hard to do at all. You know that when you look

at a moving picture you can almost hear the actors speak

and can interpret much of their conversation by their ac

tions. I could really hear and understand what they were

saying."

"How marvelous! Do tell me all about it. I never heard

of anything so unique."

So I began my story:

Prophecy
Hot, tired and footsore, I trudged wearily along one of New York's byways after a day of shopping and window gazing. I thought of the thrill of anticipation I had ex perienced when Aunt Jane invited me to go shopping with her, but joy must always come to an end, and here I was, miles from home and an edge to my temper that was none too blunt.
While looking up and down the street for a taxi, my eyes

Nine

Class Phophecy
chanced to fall on this sign:
COGIA HASSAN ALHABBEL Tells Past, Present and Future
Saint Christopher! Just the place to go in and rest awhile and get myself entertained while doing so.
I walked up to the imposing entrance and rang the bell. Nobody came. Again I rang and this time I got a response in the form of a very dark man dressed in a costume which I judged instantly to be Persian. He bowed ceremoniously and without saying a word led me through a short corridor into a magnificent apartment, hung with the most gorgeous of tapestries and furnished with Oriental splendor. The odor of incense was everywhere and almost before I realized it, that tired feeling left me and I was no longer in the heart of New York City, but in the very midst of the Persian empire.
Like one in a dream I saw a handsome young Hindu come bowing before me.
"Ah! Madam would like to see into her future?" I swallowed that lump in my throat and started to say yes, but I thought, "Suppose I shouldn't like it. Maybe it won't come out just right," and I hastily made my reply, "No, I don't care to see into my future, but I should like very much to know what has become of my classmates with whom I finished college. It has been twelve years since I saw any of them and my curiosity has gotten the better of me." "Will madam walk this way ?" He led the way to a small table upon which a crystal globe stood. Beside the table was a chair piled with cushions and into these I sank with a grateful sigh. The Hindu seated himself opposite me and cupping his hands around the foot of the globe told me to concentrate my attention on the globe and what I wished to see. I sat and gazed into the crystal, but not one thing could I see. After gazing fixedly for about fifteen minutes I began to get restless, but suddenly. . . .my heart jumped into my throat and a figure began to appear, misty and very faint at first but gradually becoming more distinct.^ I leaned further over to see better and beheld a charming
Ten

THE PINE BRANCH
young woman standing before an audience of thousands. She was singing as if her only joy lay in delighting her hearers with her song. I racked my brain but failed to remember the fair singer as one of my classmates, but just then the music ceased and she smiled down at her audience. That smile! I would know it anywhere. You have guessed, I am sure, that it was Waver Hodges who stood before me.
"The girl at the piano, who is she?" I asked the Hindu. "I cannot see her face. Does she belong amongst my class
mates?" "That is the musician of your class. She was also a very
fine reader. Can you not recall her?" For several minutes I thought of the girls in my class
and then I exclaimed excitedly, "It is--yes, it was Mary Cobb, for just at that instant she turned to leave the stage and I caught a fleeting glimpse of her face. The din of the applause still rings in my ears, though the years have rolled between.
As the bright lights and gay scenes of the opera grew dimmer I seemed to hear a rollicking laugh and presently a nursery came into view. The picture of that nursery and its occupants is as vivid with me to-day as it was yester day, for in the middle of the floor there shouted, rolled and tumbled three of the dearest children that ever boasted a mop of dark red hair. They seemed to be very much in terested in riding some one in their midst, and upon close observation it proved to be a man with a humorous mouth and eyes that twinkled like the stars. The scene was very good to look upon, but it seemed to me that the Hindu had lost sight of the fact that I had come to see my classmates and not nursery scenes.
"Have you forgotten what--"1 left my sentence hanging in mid-air and looked where the man was pointing.
A woman had entered the door and the joy on those four faces as they rushed to greet her was quite evident.
A chorus of "Mother, where have you been ?" greeted my ears as the woman stooped to kiss them one by one.
"George, did you get your bill through to-day ? I've been worried all day fearing that the senate would vote against
your bill." "Oh, yes, Estelle, the bill passed both houses today. Hard

fight, wasn't it?" Just here the kiddies clamored for recognition and I lost
the rest of the conversation. I had seen and heard enough to know that this was the lawyer I had real so much about but never had associated her with Estelle Barker, my room mate at S. G. S. N. C.
Here the scene shifted again and became a seething mass of negroes, scantily clothed. They were streaming into a large enclosure where some one seemed to be speaking to them. Their upturned faces were the most eager I have ever seen and they were drinking in every word of the woman before them.
"Why, that is a white woman, and look, there sits another one behind her," said I to the man. "What does that mean? Why are those women in the midst of all that mass of black savages ?"
"You will perceive, madam, that the book in the hands of the woman standing is the Bible. The woman behind her holds a song book written in one of the African dialects. They have been in Africa for a number of years; that ac counts for their dark complexions."
I again turned my attention to the missionaries and then their identity dawned upon me. The speaker was Mattie Stipe, but you will never believe me when I tell you that the woman with the song book was Inez Sharp. Where she learned to sing, I never could find out, but here she was, teaching these savages to sing praises to the God who was so new to them.
I had a feeling of deep respect for the two who had given their lives for the spread of Christianity in that great dark continent of Africa, and, forgetting that they were not actually in my presence, I leaned forward to speak to them, but only the crystal globe rewarded my gaze and I leaned back with a sigh.
It was some minutes before anything else appeared in the globe, but I was glad of the brief interval in which to get my thoughts collected.
"Madam will pay close attention to the globe now, please." Judging from the appearance of the room, I was now gaz ing into the waiting room of a large business establishment where a woman sat eagerly watching a door marked
Twelve

THE PINE BRANCH
"Private." Presently a boy came out and told her she might go in
now, which she did with alacrity. "Good morning, ma'am." "Oh, good morning, sir! Isn't this lovely weather we're
having? I just told my landlady that this was one morn ing in which a man would be most liberal with his pocketbook. I always know my lucky days by the feeling in the air, and to-day is certainly my red-letter day.
"Now, I have here the finest article on the market to-day. It is the most practicable and useful article anyone could possess. It will prove to be one of your best sellers. The ladies will fight over it, and you can never keep an adequate supply on hand. It is indestructible, non-rustable and will not be affected by chemicals. It can be used for a pin-tray, a fruit bowl, comb, hairpin holder, pot cleaner and many other things just by a deft twist here and a turn there. You see it was made entirely of links and it proves a vaJuble asset to anyone's home. My dear sir, you simply can not afford to be without this article. The price is so small that I blush to mention it. How many, sir?"
"I do not wish to buy at all to-day, I have too many of such things in stock already."
"What! You cannot be in your right mind, sir! Why, I never leave a place until I have some sort of order. How many did you say?"
By this time I could see that the man was getting des perate. He started to say no again, but on second thought he wrote out a small order and the woman arose.
All this time she had had her back turned to me, but when she tujmed to leave the office. I gasped to recognize Sallie Kate Wolfe.
When I remembered Sallie Kate's untiring tongue at school, I ceased to be amazed, for after all, Mother Nature had given her a shoe that fitted.
The office faded into oblivion and an imposing building came into view.
Of all things! It was the White House! "Surely," thought I, "none of my classmates have dared to run for president," but everybody is liable to make mistakes, and right there was where I made mine, for at that moment the
Thirteen

Class Prophecy
President herself walked down the steps to her carriage and the shout arose, "Long live President Crum!" The twinkling blue eyes and curly blonde hair were not at all in keeping with her dignity, but they never, were for th,at matter.
"Why hadn't I put two and two together before and guessed that the President of my country was Maly Crum ?" Well, there are so many things to occupy one's mind that time is apt to efface memory and people you once knew so well are apt to be forgotten. %l1f
I turned to the Hindu, "Wonders never cease. I've found that out to-day, so I'm ready for another surprise. Is Dr. Cook, the physician of the President, the same girl with whom I used to go to school?"
"You shall see for yourself," said he, and sure enough, there sat Dr. Cook in her study, with her hair pulled back severely and her clothes cut along very mannish lines. Classes rested on her nose and hid half her face, but it was Maggie Lou Cook after all. She had not delved into chem istry for nothing, so I came to the conclusion that hard work is worth something in the end.
Things began to grow dimmer and dimmer until at last the picture in the globe was barely perceptible. The sound of soft music reached my ears and I saw a woman seated at a piano. She was singing "Love's Old Sweet Song" with a voice that would melt a stone to tears. Without being told, I knew that this was Birdie Van Brackle, whose voice had charmed many an audience at S. G. S. N. C.
The silver threads were now gleaming 'midst the gold, but the expression of the tall youth leaning on the piano look ing down at his mother showed that those silver threads meant more to him than the golden threads of youth could ever mean.
While I was furtively wiping a tear from my eye the picture changed, and Birdie with her song passed on.
Oh! the merry whistle of a postman. Yes, there he came down the street, but his head was almost hidden by a large pile of mail. I was very much interested to see where he would deposit all that mail, so when he stopped before the Old Maids' Home, I was all attention. When he blew his whistle the second time a head popped out of an upstairs

THE PINE BRANCH
window and then disappeared with a jerk, only to appear again in the doorway a minute later.
"Good morning, Miss Aina, where is Miss Rosa this morn ing?"
"She's up stairs, grumbling as usual. I wish to goodness she would leave here. She nearly drives me distracted with her eternal grumbling."
"Too bad, too bad. Here's a stack of mail for you, Miss Aina, You must have a lot of gentlemen friends."
Aina blujshed like a peony and took her mail into the house and straight upstairs to her room, where she locked the door before opening a single letter.
Not being able to see the contents of the letters, I asked the Hindu why she observed so much secrecy.
"The lady has joined a matrimonial bureau and these are her replies," said he.
Aina Williams! I couldn't believe it, but there were the letters, so I had to be convinced.
Presently she found one to her liking and putting it care fully away, she proceeded to gather up the others and start down stairs with them, all the time looking guiltily up and down the hall.
Just as she turned a bend in the stairway she bumped squarely into another person, who immediately began to scold.
"Aina Williams, what do you mean by bumping into me with all that stack of letters ? This is no postoffice. Where did all that mail come from any way?"
"When you get elected mistress of this house, I'll tell you, Rosa Lucas, and not until then."
Aina passed on down the stairs while Rosa glared down
What a trick of fate. Once their very thoughts were one; now they disagreed on every point. I turned aside to see the cause of a slight noise in one corner of the room, but it was only a large Persian cat, so I again turned my attention to the globe.
I seemed to be looking down the side of a high mountain, up which a stream of human beings were toiling like ants. First, there came two guides, judging from their appear ance, but the others were all women. The woman imme

diately behind the guides seemed to be having a hard time,

probably due to her size, which was not small, but she puffed

and puffed and managed to keep ahead of the others.

I was getting used to things out of the ordinary so I was

not surprised to see Chloe Ivey push up to Ruby Meeks and tell her not to go so fast.

It was difficult at first to recognize all of the little party,

but as they talked on their faces became more familiar, and

I even learned what they were doing in Europe.

Ruby Meeks, Jimmie Carmack, Alma Lee Day and Mary

Sue Cannon were studying the labor problems and had

gained valuable information in England.

Chloe Ivey and Jewel Meeks were studying music under

the German masters, but firmly believing that, "All work

and no play, makes Jack a dull boy," they were taking a short vacation in Switzerland.

Mary Ethel Moses and Gladys Harris, having spent sev

eral years studying aesthetic dancing in Russia, were pre

parting to return home, but it appeared that Mary Ethel

had become engaged to a Russian officer, so her visit home

would be for only a short time.

Juanita Parrish and Helen Bruce had been husband hunt

ing and sight seeing, but their hunting days were over, for

they both had married nice old men who would soon be

numbered among the dear departed and Juanita and Helen would reap their reward.

Sarah Cox, Henrilu Ivey and Gladys Haircloth had been

taking courses in physical culture and were now on their

way home to take responsible positions in our leading col leges.

Sarah expected, however, to hold for only a short time her

position, because her husband was getting tired of her

globe trotting ways and suggested that she remain at home for a change.

How they had all come together I never did find out,

but knowing that the Alps are famous as a pleasure ground,

I was not surprised to find so many of my former class

mates."

.

I had been so intent upon the scenes before me that I

Sixteen

THE PINE BRANCH
had failed to note the passing of time, and before I realized it, darkness had descended.
"Oh, I must be going, but I haven't seen all my class mates yet and I do not want to go without seeing them every one. What must I do?"
"Only be patient for a few moments and you may see the others. There are only a few of them left."
With that I settled back once more to watch the globe. Presently, I saw a lovely campus on which numbers of girls were standing. In the distance I could see two figures strolling arm in arm. As they came nearer I recognized Clyde Palmer and Evelyn Perry. "It seems to me that they have been to school enough. What does this mean?" I asked. "They are teachers of oratory at Emerson and are out for an afternoon stroll." As the river bed determines the course of the water, so talent determines to a large extent one's future, so it was only natural to expect a great future for the gifted readers of our class. Here the campus changed to a library of moderate size. Three people seemed to be in earnest conversation. Their clothes marked them as women of business, not of leisure. It was difficult to picture the three classmates, whom they appeared to be, Mae Crum, Etta and Vada Fain, in that garb, so I straightway inquired into what path of life they had wandered. "They are authors. They are now discussing their new book, the title of which is "The Values of Silence." It has proved quite a success and the authors bid fair to become .quite famous." This reply brought to my mind the substance of an old proverb, he who talks little is deep; he who talks much is shallow, and remembering these girls as the most silent members of our class, the truth of it certainly did strike home. The next girl I was privileged to see happened to be my room-mate, Edna Robinson. Knowing her as I had, I could not fail to know her again, after all these years. There she stood in the middle of a most gorgeous wed ding scene, with an expression on her face that was posi tively ludicrous to see. Such a face was not in keeping with the solemnity of a wedding scene, but it turned out that
Seventeen

Class Prophecy
the whole assembly was trying to smother giggles and hide
smiles. What could have happened? Mercy! Where did that parrot come from? What was
that in his beak? Hair! It was Edna's, and there she stood minus her switch, with her hands wildly clutching at the parrot who was perched on the window sill above her.
I always knew something would happen to that switch and I had told her time and again not to wear the thing, but she never would heed.
As soon as I could speak again I inquired whose wedding Edna was attending.
"That is the wedding of Mr. Paul Reynolds. Miss Rob inson brought her parrot along and it is her parrot that has caused all the disturbance."
Just then the parrot dropped her treasure and Edna made a dive for her head covering. After she had it safely pinned on the wedding proceeded and I could see no more. Evi dently Edna had developed into an old maid school teacher.
Only two more of my classmates remained to be seen and I was very much interested to see what fortune had held in store for them.
A fire became visible and the dearest picture came into view. A cherub of a little girl was sitting on the floor gazing up into the eyes of her mother, who seemed to be telling her a story. That blonde curly head bent over her
sewing told me instantly that it was Julia Harrell. When the story was finished the child climbed up into its mother's lap and the picture faded with the tiny head drooping on the shoulder of the fair singer.
The central figure in the new picture gave evidence of a great deal of concentration as shown by the elbow resting on the arm of her chair and the look of deep concern on her face. A half completed picture stood before her.
Joy of joys! It was Gertrude Moore, the master artist. She was working on her masterpiece, which she has since given to the world. Perhaps you would like to see a repro duction of it. (Show ludicrous paintings.)
The last of the pictures had faded and since dark had come on and knowing that Aunt Jane would be frantic, I hastily paid Cogia Hassan Alhabbel for the most enjoyable occasion in my life and hailed a taxi for home.

Classmates, long we've lived together here in our college home,

But soon we leave her refuge and far from her care we'll roam.

For now pur task is finished; the goal we sought is won,

To-day we pause a moment to view the course we've run.

The wheels of time we'd turn back to the days of yore

And think of our relevant joys ere the caps and gowns we

' wore,

. ''

;****

We have ever worked and planned with this glad day in mind;

The welcomed day has come, but a regretful note we find.

We recall the day when first we met within this college hall And how with passing days our Alma Mater led us all To a broader view of life than we had known before, And now so very soon we meet within her walls no more We review our joys and pleasures that as friend with friend
we d share. And the comfort lent by amity when hearts were filled with
care.
thisretrospection ? The past can be no more. ine future, the golden future beckons and opens wide the
door
To a busy life of service and to a world in need, Let s cease our meditation and to her call give heed. She bids us come, and though our paths may lead us far
apart,
Sweet memories of our college life will linger in each heart.

Alma Mater, whom we have loved through all these fleet ing years,

QuivJove for you grows deeper as time for parting nears,

Soon to teachers, classmates and friends we must say adieu

And may the girls who come and live among your pines

Class Will 1922

Ladies and Gentlemen, President of the College, Teachers,

Students and Friends, Upon behalf of my client, the Class of 1922 of South

Georgia State Normal College of the City of Valdosta, State

of Georgia, U. S. A., I have called you together upon this

solemn and serious occasion to listen to her last will and

testament; and to receive from her dying hands the few

gifts she has to bestow in her last moments. Cutting so

rapidly loose from life, and finding so many things Of such

gigantic proportions to be attended before the end should

close upon her, she did deem it best to distribute these

bequests with her own hands to these friends whose need

they seem best fitted. She has tried to be just as generous

and impartial as possible and has distributed wisely unto

those who will make the best use of such as she has in her

power to bestow; the talents that served her so faithfully

these years. Listen then, one and all, while I read the documents as

duly drawn up and attested to: We the class of 1922, in thirty-four individual and dis

tinct parts, being about to pass out of this sphere of edu

cation in full possession of sound and well crammed minds,

and an almost superhuman understanding, do make and

publish this, our last will and testament, hereby revoking

and making void all former wills and promises by us at any

time heretofore made, or may-hap carelessly spoken, one to

the other, as the thoughtless wish of an idle hour. As to

such estates as it has pleased the Fates and our own strong

hands and brains to win for us, we do dispose of the same

as follows:

ITEM I.

'

, _

We give and bequeath to our respected President, Mr. R.

H. Powell, and beloved Dean of Women, Miss Ada R.. Gal-

laher, and to the Faculty at large, our sincere affections,

our deepest reverence, our heartiest gratitude and the

whole unlimited wealth of our eternal memory, in an at

tempt at partial payment for all they have done for us

during our long years at S. G. S. N. C. we make over to

them here and now, a heavy mortgage on our future in the

great Unknown Beyond. It shall be theirs to watch every

THE PINE BRANCH
step of our upward and onward course, to note each trial, each attempt, each victory, each success and honor that we may achieve in the arena, and to accept for themselves, as the interest on our deathless debt, every iota of honor, knowing that it is all due to their faithful instrutcions. ITEM II.
We particularly do give and bequeath to our beloved teachers, all the amazing knowledge and startling informa tion that we have furnished them from time to time in our various examination papers. We know that much which we have imparted to them in this way must have been en tirely new to them, as well as to all students and teachers everywhere, and would throw much new light on many a hitherto unillumined line of thought throughout the whole world of science and learning, even outside the halls and walls of S. G. S. N. C. If the teachers see fit, they are hereby authorized to give out such of this information to the world as they may feel the world is ready to receive. ITEM III.
We give to the magazine of the college, "The Pine Branch," and to the talented writers thereof, all the events of our lives, past and present and to come, with all the wonders, sensations, hair-breadth escapes, glorious attain ments, and other deserved or undeserved fame with which we may have been or may hereafter be associated, trusting that they may furnish sufficient material for news items and brilliant editorials for ages to come, and serve as an in spiration for those younger students who so naturally look to us for example. ITEM IV.
To our Alma Mater we do bequeath our deep and sincere love, in appreciation of the ideals implanted in our lives, and in appreciation of the Christian atmosphere known as the "South Georgia State Normal Spirit." ITEM V.
The following may seem but trifling bequests, but we hope they may be accepted, not as worthless things lavishly thrown away because we can no longer keep them, but as valuable assets to those who may receive them, as a con tinual reminder of the generosity of heart displayed in our free and full bestowal.
Twenty-four

Class Wilt 1922

1st. To the monitors of the Junior-Senior Hall of next year we give a pair of rubber shoes to be used for detective work. We are taught by our inner consciousness that they will need them in dealing with the classes that are to be
our successors. 2nd. To the basket-ball team of next year, the ability of
Jimmie Carmack and Alma Lee Day. (We couldn't induce Edna Robinson to surrender hers.)
3rd. To Elizabeth Livingston, Mae Crum's gift of rapid pronunciation.
4th. In order that memory of her shall be cherished for years to come at S. G. S. N. C., Vada Fain bequeaths to Madeline Culbreth three white Panama hats, which if sun ned and boxed annually will enable her to complete her spring wardrobe until she is a post-graduate.
5th. Aina Williams, having decided to bob her hair, wills her super-abundance of curly locks to Kathleen Moore; also two blue skirts, which will be useful to Kathleen as wear ing apparel, and to her friends as a looking glass.
6th. Inez Sharpe wills the privilege of puffing her hair during busy hours and also her place in the court line, to Deborah Patterson.
7th. Clyde Palmer wills her giggling capacity and her marvelous talent for mathematics, especially that brand of the subject known as advanced arithmetic in which she ex
cels, to Louise Popped. 8th. Mary Cobb wills all her surplus knowledge gained
in English III to B. B. Lang. 9th. Sallie Kate Wolfe wills her lack of speaking ability
to Ada Meeks. 10th. Edna Robinson confers her poetic ability upon one
who deserves the crown of a genius, to Maude Jones. 11th. Waver Hodges will her wonderful voice to one
who almost excels her, Belle Reese. 12th. Maggie Lou Cook wills her rouge, lip stick and
eccentric hair style to Stella Taylor. 13th. To Lucy Jackson, Gladys Harris wills her ability
to bluff Miss Gilmer in English. 14th. Birdie Van Brackle reluctantly hands over her
rouge, lip stick, magnolia balm, eye brow pencil and cos
metics in general to Virginia Dasher, who she feels has

great need for them. 15th. Of course she hated to part with it, but neverthe
less Mattie Stipe wills her privilege of being "teacher's pet" to Verna Scarborough.
16th. Ruby Meeks wills her inalienable right to talk in the dining room to Edith Watson.
17th. Helen Bruce wills to Lucy Fleming her ever sup ply of chewing gum, that is if she will promise to be very careful and partake of it only when in her room.

19th. Mary Ethel Moses wills to Alice Neal Prosser her art of dancing gracefully.
20th. Gertrude Moore wills to Chrystelle Barfield her excess avoirdupois.
21st. Henrilu Ivey wills to Cynthia Lewis the ability to stretch the truth till it breaks.
22nd. Estelle Barker wills her ability to argue to Anne Chichester. May she succeed in carrying her point as well as Estelle has. ITEM VI.
To the present Sophomore class we will our "class call," which was given to us by the Class of 1920. May you be successful in gathering your group together by this, "our faithful call." ITEM VII.
The subjoined list will be recognized as entailed estate, to which we do declare the class of 1923 the real and rightful successors.
1st. Our seats in classroom and chapel. May they en deavor to fill them as faithfully as we have.
2nd. Our Senior dignity. May they uphold it forever, with all seriousness and gravity, endeavoring to realize its vast importance, in spite of their natural light-mindedness and irresponsibility.
3rd. Any scraps of paper, stubs of pencils, and note books that we may inadvertently leave behind us in the excitement and haste of gathering up our cherished treas ures for the last time. May they feel free to make use of them and feel, perhaps, that they may in some mystic way, impart some of our great knowledge to them.

Twenty-six

...

Class Will 1922

4th. The privilege of walking on Patterson street, pro

vided they keep their eyes focused in the direction going,

and not let the shy glances of the young men passing by

attract their attention, or let the bananas stick to their

hands in passing by the "country store."

5th. Our class president wills to the class of 1922-1923

the "historic spade" of S. G. S. N. C. which was used to

break the ground in the construction of the first building.

Seniors, it is yours to guard and protect, because it has a

warm place in the heart of every S. G. S. N. C. girl.

6th. Last of all comes the one thing hard for us to part

with. To our successors we leave our places in the hearts

and thoughts of our President and teachers. They will love

them, unworthy as we feel they are, even as they have loved

us, they will show them all the tender kindness and atten

tion that they have bestowed on us; they will feel the same

interest in their attempts and successes, the same sorrow

when they fail. We trust that the class of '23 will appre

ciate all this as deeply as we have, that it may be their

most precious possession, as it has been ours, and the one

we are most loathe to hand over to them.

Besides these enforced gifts we leave not only of neces

sity, but of our own free will, our blessings, tender memo

ries, or pleasant associations together, and our forgiveness

for anything that we may not have exactly appreciated in

the demonstrations of the past, and a pledge of friendship

from henceforth and forever. All the rest and residue of

our property, whatsoever and wheresoever, of which nature,

kind and quality so ever it may be, and not hereinbefore

disposed of, we give and bequeath to the college, for its

use and benefit absolutely, to be disposed of for the good

of the coming classes in the future.

We do hereby constitute and appoint our President of the

college sole executor of this our last will and testament.

In witness whereof, we, the class of 1922, the testators,

have to this our will, written on this piece of parchment,

set our hands and seal this twentieth day of May, Anno

Domini 1922.

Jewell Meeks.

Gass Farewell

It is my privilege to speak a few words of farewell. We're

"standing with reluctant feet where the brook and river

meet" ready to step from school into the busy world. We

hesitate. We might hold to the past were it possible, but

life's ceaseless round of changes has brought us to the

place where the brook of school life meets the vast river of

an enlarged human experience, whose current is moving

steadily and most surely into the great future.

In the old Latin myths we read of the good Janus, in

whose honor the month of January was named. Janus had

two faces looking in opposite directions; with one face look

ing toward the past, the other peered into the future. This

afternoon is a new year in the class of '22; here we stand

Janus faced, and look behind us and before.

During the past few years we have been delving into rich

mines of wisdom and experience, trying to collect a small

capital to take out into the busy world. Thanks to the fos

tering care of our wise teachers, we are not forced to separ

rate at this center of the universe and each one go his own

way without a fund of resources; but we go forth to choose

the pathway in which we are best prepared. There is work

for each of us; for it has always been true that the world

needs willing hands, and will continue to need workers as

long as time shall last. May we each invest our capital so

that it will become a power for enriching the lives we come

in contact with. Then the world will be better for our

advent, and our years of preparation will not have been

spent in vain.

i

It is pleasant that this day has arrived, in that it is some

thing for which we have long been striving. But it is in

deed very hard to say farewell to fellow classmates. It

brings a sad realization of the fact that we must part and

be separated from those with whom strong ties of friend

ship and love have grown. At this place we must regret

fully say farewell to the happy days spent amidst these

pleasant surroundings. We must leave this hall of learn

ing and search for a new field of action; we must bid fare

well to the familiar places so full of memories; we must

say adieu to friends, teachers and sister classes we have

Twenty-eight

Class Farewell

met and learned to love so dearly. All of you here present

have been ever kind, patient and true, and we thank you

for making our graduation possible.

Undergraduates, you will take our places, and may you

fill the mnobly, doing your best at all times. We have great

faith in you, believing that you'll ever stand, even better

than we stood. Classmates, we stand together for almost the last time,

but we shall never be separated in spirit. In memory we

shall always be one loyal class "till the last dear companion

drops smilingly away." With pleasant memories of this afternoon, of the friends

who have gathered to greet us, and of the fellowship that

animates our class let us go forth into our life's career.

May happiness and prosperity attend us all, and may Service

be our motto.

Mary M. Crum.
