The Pine Branch, October 1922

A Greeting From the President
Young Ladies of the Georgia State Womans CoUege at Valdosta, a new year has opened for us under most encour aging auspices. Our enrollment has greatly increased, our halls are filled with excellently prepared students, the high standard of work done by the College in former years has been recognized by the General Assembly of Georgia in changing our name more perfectly to fit the nature of our
A womans college this has been from the. beginning m purpose, in plan, in spirit and in actual attainment.
A College it has been and is--not a University, not a technical school (except as education is a technical subject), and so its aim has been character and culture and social efficiency rather than research or industrial skill.
A Womans College it has been and is--a College for the education of women that really believes in woman and makes no scorn to educate women to lead women's lives centered in women's interests, according to women's ideals of honor and purity and social grace and charm.
Ten years ago the College was a tract of land, a plan, a hope and a faith. Today it is a beautiful campus, a group of beautiful and well equipped buildings, an excellent fac ulty, a large number of loyal and honored alumnae, the same plan and hope and faith, and---you, _
I invite you to take your place beside the goodly coinpany of those who have brought these things to pass, to dedicate your hearts and hands to realizing in yourselves and in the College more fully than ever before its often stated ideal -- the ideal of the best Southern womanhood, with all that ideal implies of purity and honor and fineness, of culture and grace and feminine charm.and of that large usefulness to which all good women aspire.
Faithfully yours, R. H. POWELL, President.

Two Sonnets of the Georgia State
Womans College
~S. G. S. N. C. When first the plan was made there was but hope To keep the candle burning--light the fire Of vision, flaming into pure desire For its fulfillment. Strong hands, meant to cope With difficulties, built a house. As rope May follow silken thread, itself draw higher The cable's length, or notes upon a lyre In sweet succession fall,--so followed hope, The house, the girls with high young hearts. 0 bless Each stick and stone! each tool, each hand and name That made you first in love and kindliness; That set the seal of worth above mere fame; That bids each daughter keep no more, no less, Than faith with those who went before she came.
II-G. S. W. C. You've grown until a new name came for you. . . The name I used to love still whispers soft Upon my lips, a keep-sake in the loft Of mem'ry. . . When I think how very few The years have been, I marvel that you do :So much; but, looking down the years, full oft I see you stand complete--each tree and croft, Each arch and doorway,--ev'ry line as true As Beauty's own. I see your walks and ways Gay with the glow of youth, yet thronged with those Who, passed before, have left you of their days A spirit presence--fragrance of the rose, Remembered, though new roses o'er it raise.. . . A river seeking sea-ward onward flows. Helen Allen, '21.

The Story Teller
The day was hot and dry. The sun beat mercilessly down on the sleepy little village of Brownsville. Here and there in the parched grass, a solitary chicken wandered aimlessly about, vaguely seeking some shady place where it might be cooler. A cow, standing in the shade of a nearby tree, slowly brushed the troublesome flies away with her tail. Several little pigs were running about in search of acorns, regardless of the heat.
In all of the kitchens of the town, women were working busily, for tomorrow was the day for the event most looked forward to during the whole year--the annual picnic of the one church in Brownsville. Cakes, pies, chickens, were being cooked; choicest pickles and preserves were brought forth from cellars and pantries; potatoes were being pre pared for the salad, and many other things were being done to make the picnic the greatest success possible.
Uncle Joe Turner, seated with the back of his cane bot tomed chair resting against the side of the village drug store, pulled out his handkerchief, which had evidently seen much service during the day, and mopped his forehead de jectedly. This failing to cool him, he pulled off his old straw hat in order that some chance breeze might blow through his gray locks, and rolled his shirt sleeves a little higher.
"Phew!" he exclaimed, looking compassionately at the small, dirty little dog that lay panting by the side of his chair, "But it aint the heat that's the wust, Belshazzer. Now what ch' know about this--here I wuz--the best story teller in these parts, and all the children--and all the grown ups too, fer that matter, all come to hear me tell my 'speriences 'round Petersburg 'n' Bull's Run 'n' all, and here comes that young upstart, Bill Smith, home from over thar in Europe or France or somewhere, and immejiately they all fergit there ever wuz a war between the States, and all gallivant off ter hear him tell about what happened ter him "over thar!" Now--
"Hello, Uncle Joe! What ch' talkin' so loud about?" en quired an overall clad individual, evidently station master, sauntering over from the depot. Then, without waiting for a reply, "Say, come on, young Bill Smith's down here at
Two

The Pine Branch
Tom Bright's store, tellin' the folks about how he--" But he got no further, for Uncle Joe, rising with an ex
pression of pain, said, "No, I feel a pain a cornin' on in my jints, and I reckon as how I'd better get along to'ds home 'fore it gets too bad. But," he continued, craftily watching the other man's face, "I hear that young Smith is a pow'ful good story teller."
"He sure is, Uncle Joe. He's the best in these parts," was the answer, as the station master turned away, un conscious of the jab he had given the old man.
"The best in these parts, huh!" muttered Uncle Joe to himself. "Well, he may be now, but some day I'm going to get my place back!"
With the dawn of the next day the village was astir with housewives packing into baskets the goodies which they had prepared; children chattering gaily and excitedly, and constantly getting in the way in their eagerness to help; men getting together lemons, ice, barrels and whatever else seemed likely to be needed in making the lemonade, with out which no picnic would be a success.
At last everything was ready and everybody piled mer rily into the straw-filled wagons which were to take them to Jones' pond for the day. Uncle Joe, apparently entirely recovered from his "pain in the jints," was in the crowd, happy for the time because everyone was so excited over his own present experiences that he had no time to listen to any past experiences of anyone -- not even those of Bill
Smith. As the wagons rolled along, fond mothers, in between
their bits of neighborly gossip, cautioned their children against getting too near the water, climbing the trees, and going into the nearby pasture where the Greens kept their
cattle The pond was reached all too soon, the morning flew
quickly by, and after what everybody declared was "the best picnic dinner ever eaten," the picnickers separated into va rious groups and couples, smoking, gossiping, playing, strolling about, and exploring, according to their age, sex and inclinations.
Uncle Joe sat with some of the older men of the town

underneath a tree, enjoying his cob pipe and talking lazily

of the crops, the weather, the probability of a rain, and of

the other subjects which usually engage a fanner's at tention.

. Bill Smith, with a party of the young men, had gone over

into the forbidden pasture to "explore" again ground which

they had explored before many times, and to prove their

courage to the young ladies of the party by hunting the

bull, which was known all over the country side as a dang erous animal.

^ The insects were droning lazily, and perhaps through

their influence, and that of the heat, conversation lagged

among the various groups sitting about, or lying about on

the grass. Uncle Joe himself was about half asleep when

suddenly he heard one of the younger boys, who had been

engaged in a game of mumblepeg, cry out "Look!"

i . ,, ,

eyes were turned in the direction in

which the child was pointing. There racing across the field,

with the bull far behind, but gaining every minute, was

the exploring party, running as if in a race, as indeed they

wer- As they neared the fence everyone saw that they

would have time to get through the gate, and several men

ran to open it, but Uncle Joe was nearest it, and reached it

first. As he opened it the boys came through helterskelter,

with Bill Smith in the lead, a band of would-be heroes re turning in defeat from the field.

As soon as they saw that the boys were safe, and the

bull was on the other side of a fence strong enough to hold

him in, the crowd began to see the humorous side of the

affair, and proceeded to tease the boys unmercifully.

"Say, do y'all know what you put me in mind of?" drawled

Uncle Joe, looking about the crowd hopefully, and winking

at young Bill Smith. "Wal, Bull Run--you might 'er called it a kind 'er Bull Run."

The crowd roared with laughter; and Bill Smith, anxious

to turn the public attention from his recent "bull run" to a

less embarrassing subject, called out eagerly,

"Yes, tell us all about that battle, Uncle Joe!"

This call was taken up by the children, who were always

eager for a story, and several of the men also called out,

Four

"Yes, tell us, Uncle Joe!" "Wal, it was this way," began the old veteran, as he shifted himself to a more comfortable position, and gazed about into the faces all around him. "You see, we............" And in his heart there was perfect peace and good-will toward all men. Had he not been asked to tell one of his beloved stories, and--added bliss--was not Bill Smith the one who had asked him to tell it? All the bitterness and rancor of the past weeks passed away, leaving a thoroughly contented old man telling again the stories of what "we `rebels' done to the Yank in the war between the States."

Solemn Reflections of a Sophomore

1 ^,a ,m^id' a lovely maid,
With hair of golden hue. Her skin was of the fairest fair
Her eyes of deepest blue.

So charming did this maid appear
She won my admiration And naturally I thought it wise
To start a conversation.

I found that she could talk, all right
Her tongue seemed very free; ' ,t if she said one thing worth while Twas more than I could see!

I ttiought we'd talk of current news.
Hut soon I changed my mind_ It seemed that with her reading
She was rather far behind.

I asked about the magazine
That there beside her lay. But when I saw the cover---
It was just a Photo-Play.

She gushed about the latest jazz--

Of Rudolph's loving eyes.

*

She knew, in fact, a lot of things

Both wise and otherwise.

So now I think the moral I surely need not name,
But what's the need of study_ When you get there just the same?

An Intercepted Letter
Georgia State Womans College, Valdosta, Georgia, September 15, 1922.

Dearest Elise: After all the days we've spent in school together it surely
seems oueer to be studying without you. I am trying faithfully to fulfill my promise of telling you all about th school Although I haven't been here much over a week
no one could pay me to leave, and you know how much

dl When?first gotoiff the train I just began to realize that

I was to be away from home, oh, for just ages. My,

I wished I were back in Savannah! But when we drove up

to the college, the buildings were soprettymy curositywa

aroused enough to want to go inside, at any

When

we were shown inside, the very cozmess and home-likeness

of the rotunda made me feel as if I'd at least a while. The rotunda is about forty feet square and^moBt'chajmung room. The mission woinKoatmg adds

much to its beauty, and at each end is a large firepiace^ You can imagine how comfortable and cozy it would be in winter $th a fire in each. The furniture is ah of, wicker. Oh,

yes, I mustn't forget the grand piano which is used at the

Y W. C. A. meetings.

,, T

Well, Elise, I must confess when I first saw my room I

wanted to take the next train to Savannah. It was so bare looking with nothing except the furniture.^ But now since we've unpacked and put everything in place, I thin

it's the dearest room one could desire.

,,

The one thing which impressed me more than anything

else since I've been here is the spirit of good fellowship

the old girls show toward the new. All of the girls are so congenial toward each other. I had always thought that

thsetfiwrsttktwlso hoarrdthlyreeovwereeks were sV pent'^ m rtea^rs,sbu^t tnteo

tears. It is most certainly because the old girls try to cheer up the new girls as much as possible, and are always

ready to help them in any way they can.

We are now facing the beginning of another year, which means, of course, the beginning of another Pme Branch. We never know at the beginning of anything just what awaits us but we do know that the coming year is bound to bring forth countless hopes, fears, joys and sorrows, of whic we naturally expect the Pine Branch to receive its full share Nevertheless, we believe this year is going to be the best that the college has ever known, and the same holds true of the Pine Branch.
The policy of our magazine for the coming year is practicallly the same that it has always been, the only differ ence being that we expect to strive harder than all of our previous hard-strivers, to carry out more efficiently every purpose of the magazine. With this in view, we naturally look forward to a great year in the history of the Pine
It is our aim to portray as nearly as possible the spirit of our college. We want our magazine to show exactly what we are, and what we stand for. In order to do this, we not only expect to publish articles showing us m a se rious and studious state of mind, but we shall alwayh tell something of our fun and frolic. No doubt we will o: times have side by side a dignified philosophical writing and an account of some humorous party or festival--all of which, of course, goes to make up the life of a girl.
We want the Pine Branch to act as a mouthpiece--an absolute essential in a female school--for the literary phase

otf our school life, and by so doing*, reflect the purposes and accomplishments of all of our literary work.
We expect to publish all news of general interest to the school. This, we naturally expect to be the easiest part of our work because we are constantly supplied with news of all varieties.
We are especially anxious to keep in touch with our alumnae, and to publish any news concerning them. Ac counts of any marriages, divorces or births will be gladly received at any time. In this issue we are happy to an nounce the arrival of Miss Barker, daughter of Mrs. Frances Kaylor Barker. Such news is encouraging, because we see in her a prospective student for the Georgia State Womans College. We would also appreciate, at any time, literary contributions from our alumnae. Out of the vast number of our earlier philosophers, poetesses, essayists, etc., surely we have some who have neither lost their talent nor for gotten the Pine Branch. We were exceedingly glad to re ceive a contribution from Miss Helen Allen for this issue of our magazine.
We bespeak the cordial co-operation of all the forces of the college.

Y. W. C. A.
"The Young Women's Christian Association of the Geor gia State Womans College at Valdosta, affirming the Chris tian faith in God the Father, and in Jesus Christ, His Only Son, our Lord and Savior; and in the Holy Spirit, the Revealer of truth and Source of power for life and service, according to the teachings of the Holy Scripture and the witness of the church, declares its purpose to be--
1. To lead students to faith in God through Jesus
Christ * 2. To lead them into membership and service in the
Christian church; 3. To promote their growth in Christian faith and char
acter, especially through the study of the Bible; 4. To influence them to devote themselves in united ef
forts with all Christians to making the will of Christ ef fective in human society, and to extending the Kingdom of
God throughout the world." With such a purpose as this, we hope to make the World
Y. W. C. A. movement more real to the whole membership of our own association; to prepare our members for active Christian citizenship and service; and to seek to develop a spirit of initiative and a greater sense of responsibility
among our college women. We expect to exert our influence in the interests of a
higher standard of friendship and democracy in our school, to uphold the work of the Dean of Women, to co-operate with the Student Government, to eliminate pernicious campus gossip, and to stand for a higher standard of honor in both social obligatiogns and class-room relations.
Verna Scarborough.

Great enthusiasm is being shown by the girls in regard

to the Y. W. C. A. work for 1922-23. Already a large per

cent of the students have enrolled as members of the Y.

Miss Annie Powe Hopper is now the "First Lady of the

Colleo-e," having succeeded Miss Gallaher, who has bee granted a leave of absence. Miss Hopper was formerly ma tron of Dormitory No. 1, where she was loved by all the

girls, but in her present capacity the whole student body has had occasion to really know her better. She has already

won the love of all the new girls because of the patient, helpful way she has dealt with them in getting adjusted

to the proverbial "regulations." Miss Hopper has the cooperation of the entire student body in her efforts to make
our dormitory life more nearly approach the atmosphere of

"home." Great enthusiasm is being shown toward making
this the happiest year in the history of the college. One of the most delightful events of college life is the
opening day, when there is the all-pervading excitement of
friends meeting with friends; teachers with students. Hut

of the chaos comes a feeling of sadness as we miss those of our beloved teachers who did not come back to us. We

feel that our loss is great, but those who have come to take their places are indeed valuable members of the col

Class Room or Campus
Cosmopolitan in their styling, these new foot wear fashions will be perfectly at home in any assembly-room at any school. But smartness of style is not the only appeal of these shoes--
Comfort so essential to progress in one's studies, and economies sure of welcome when so many things are needed, have also been given thoughtful attention. No step has been neglected to make this collec tion of new shoe styles fo rstudents most inter esting, whether one attends school at home or away.
