ALMA MATER
'Mong the stately pines of Georgia Glorious to the view,
Stands our noble Alma Mater, Basking 'neath the blue.
CHORUS
Alma Mater, thee we honor, Praises never fail.
For thy fame shall never perish, Red and Black--all hail!
Alma Mater's loving daughters We will ever be,
Always to thy heart returning, G. S. W. C.
We love thee when the silvery morning To thy halls return,
We love thee when thy crimson roofs A-flame with sunset bum.
We love thee when the darkening day Proclaims our life work o'er,
Alma Mater, know the truth. We'll love thee ever more.
Helen Allen Thomas, '21, Evelyn Brown, '24.

CLASS HISTORY
PROLOGUE
We hope this will not weary you To show you how we came to be The guardians of this high estate To graduate with pomp, to hold Within our hands, for one short day Or two, the reins of destiny.
I. On the first of May approaching We wished in pageantry to show, As our histories had taught us How Agamemnon, King of Thebes, In distressful need of rain Upon the shining altar laid His daughter, Iphigenia, How Diana, fleet of foot, Saved her from Artemis, Brought the wind rain through her powers
(Sacrifice scene from Iphigenia)
II. When the blessed Christmas season Came with all its joy and gladness. For your pleasure we sang carols. Gave the blessed Christmas story Of the wise men's fruitful journey. (Three little boys dressed in oriental costume, school sings
"We Three Kings of Orient.")
III. When the Huns had almost conquered Then our country heard the call Of her prostrate old world sisters. Threw herself into the struggle, Then we, too, began the study Of their character and customs, Of their quaint and fancy costumes, Of their flags and all their meanings. (Columbia, with children in costumes and carrying flags of the Allies to each side, school sings "The Star Spangled
Banner.")
IV. Thru the high school then our path lay Scarcely seemed it like the other, For our hours were filled with study. Then from work we fled to play. (Girls in colonial costume dance the Virginia Reel.)
Two

CLASS HISTORY
V. When the judges upon field day Said our class stunt was the best one, Then our pride was lifted highest, For we showed the giggling school girl
While her mother grouped the family, 'Ranged and rearranged them around her. (Very tacky family having picture taken by an equally
tacky photographer.)
VI. Then we came upon the custom Of the hiding of the hat. But the sharp eyes of the third year Spied it where 'twas snuggly hidden, Then the fourth year, always sportsmen, Gave to us a rarest banquet. Then the blessed Christmas season Came again with joy and gladness, In the yet unfinished building Long and loudly we made merry In ye good old English manner. And we fourth year, dressed as sailors, Shook the rafters with our dancing Of the rolling sailors hornpipe.
(Girls in sailor suits dance the hornpipe.)
VII. Then the first of May approaching On the college green we sported, Dressed as gypsy beggar maidens Danced and begged the watching townfolk To cross our palm with silver coin. (Girls in ragged gypsy costumes dance and beg.)
VIII. College days were hard upon us, For our high school days were over. First we were to get diplomas When the high school we had finished. Now we entered on the last lap Of our long and arduous journey, Which has led unto our star, DIPLOMA. Quite prosaic was the first year, Work and more work was our program; Christmas season, May Day, Prom, Just a momentary respite From our long and arduous tasks.
(Enter three girls in cap and gown.)

THE PINE BRANCH
IX. Then at last we were the Seniors Sweet and serious, working hard And the intimate, brightening moments Have been many, close together. Again the happy Christmas season Came with all its mirth and gladness And we danced as lords and ladies. Then on Arbor Day we planted A beech tree--to be marked on class day, Next we won the longed-for ball game And the loving cup was ours With our name engraved upon it. (Three girls in gym suits carrying loving cup and basket
ball.) X. We have been the honor guests Of the town folk and the Freshmen, These good times are 'mong our dearest Memories of our college life. First we were provoked and shocked By mischievous little Freshmen, Then our sense of humor saved us. For we were at once reminded Of our early prehensile forbears. (Three little monkeys holding one anothers tails.) This, dear classmates, is our history, May the pages of our future Be as bright and free from care.

CLASS WILL OF 1924
To the President of the College, Teachers, Students and Friends. We the class of '24, Georgia State Womans Col lege, City of Valdosta, County of Lowndes, State of Georgia, feeling care free and joyous and yet being of benign and kindly intents, desire to aid and accouter you with the riches with which Dame Fortune has so graciously endowed us during our sojourn here--or rather, what's left of them. Consequently, hereupon and therefore, we, the members of the above mentioned class, do most cheerfully publish this, our last will and testament--our hope of bringing you to the high estate of our present occupation.
SECTION L
Item I. We give and bequeath to our respected Presi dent, Mr. R. H. Powell, our beloved Dean of Women, Miss Annie P. Hopper, and to the Faculty our abounding love and reverential respect for the great benefit we have received at their hands. May the future prove to them the success of their earnest endeavors is our sincerest wish and token of good fellowship.
Realizing that many obligations and duties yet lie before you, and that in all probability times of stress will come to you--out of our joyous love--we wish to make these more solemn bequests.
Item II. To our beloved instructor, Mr. James Franklin Wood, we will our optimistic views on the development of the elementary school.
Item HI. To our critic teachers, who have striven so earnestly and eagerly for us, we will our heartfelt thanks, and the assurance that next year they will have no cause to read Job, or to do futuristic designs in red and blue on trying plans.
Item IV. To Miss Emily Goodlet we will a volume enti tled "Complete Works of Suzzalo," also a manuscript by our class, "Statistical Reports and Graphs of Educational Tests and Measurements."
Item V. To Miss Margaret Strunk we will half a dozen pairs of shoes; she has worn out as many getting us to play rehearsals.

THE PINE BRANCH
Item VI. To Miss J. Marie Craig we will an "Automatic Student Excluder." It is a patented device which by a new application of force, keeps a tardy student poised on the door sill while the roll is called. With this goes a phono graphic attachment which by mechanical action begins the roll call when the bell rings.
Item VII. To Miss Gertrude Gilmer we will a passport to the new European country "Transcendentalism," which adjoins the Elysian Fields of Bliss, where Kant's philosophy can give experience in the compound.
Item VIII. To Mr. Charles Eugene Poston and Mr. James R. Stokes we will a guide entitled "How to Elude All De signing Pupils and Co-workers." If they will take our cheery, optimistic view of this, they will have success.
Item IX. To Mr. B. H. Henderson we will Mildred Prices' vie and the sewing department's dress form, so that his dancing may rival that of Valentino.
Item X. To Miss Mary Farris we will a memorial on which may be kept a record of lessons taught and quizzes to be given.
Item XI. To Miss Louise W. Farris we will a book en titled "Full Manipulation of a Singer Sewing Machine." We trust this will make her work easier.
Item XII. To Miss Mary M. Jakes we will an automatic attachment which collects and places in order pocket knives, scissors, parasols and ballet slippers, fervently hoping that she will suffer no further losses.
Item XIII. To Mrs. A. B. Greene we will a crate of Geor gia peaches, provided she give the seed to Mr. Greene for whittling purposes.
Item XIV. To Mrs. Hagan we will an epidemic of measles, provided only one student at a time has it.
Item XV. To Miss E. Camm Campbell we will a cozy place in all our hearts.
Item XVI. To Miss Carpenter we will an amplifier so that a student in the farthest corner may be able to hear her.
SECTION II.
To our beloved underclassmates, the Freshmen, who work, strive and labor with such excellent results, we will:
Six

CLASS WILL OF 1924
Item I. Our sincerest appreciation of the many jolly events they have enabled us to enjoy the past year.

Item III. Our superfluous wisdom and poise gained by many contacts and trials.
Item IV. An interesting experiment for which we have been unable to obtain a satisfactory solution. The experiment consists of an equation which reads--One Twiss to be divided among forty pupils in an hour. Our results were too Twi(s)ted. We hope for you greater success.
Item V. Our privilege of going to the tea room, with hopes that your purses will stand the strain--ours didn't.
Item VI. This notice from E. R. Moore Company: "We acknowledge receipt of your check of May 17th in payment for caps and gowns shipped May 15th."
SECTION III.

Item III. To Evelyn McArthur, Frances Myrick, Ann Torbett and Lucie Jackson we will a bottle of elixir. It is an absolutely sure means of overcoming any lack. Mem bers of our clas shave found it particularly good in produc ing originality, "pep," cheeriness and grace of movement.
SECTION IV.
Item I. We, the Wood Nymphs, Edna Cockfield, Remer Jones, Mary Small, Ermine Felder, Daisy Geiger, Leo Prine, Frances Faries and Mildred Williams, will our abil-

CLASS POEM
Classmates, 'tis the eve of our departure, 'Tis the crossing of our ways, 'Tis the time of golden mem'ries Of our passing college days. Cast they fall ere we can see them, Like the leaves that scatter down, Some green--some gold,--some ruby-red And some of somber brown, Memory has garnered for us All the fragrance of these years. Close we'll hold these hours so precious. For they breath our joys and tears. Picture they the joyous happenings of many a hike and lark, Of many a time of stress and storm, When worked we on from dawn till dark. But our time is swiftly passing, We must haste and go away, For we cannot ease by lingering, Parting words so hard to say. Even now the hour is hastening For the final day's farewell, Even now we feel a sadness To leave these halls we love so well. Seniors, Sophomores, parting classes, Linked by bonds of friendship dear. Let us gather for our keeping All we've shared together here. Crowd these hours with happy thoughts. All our loves of college life, Then with hearts quite brave and steady Fare we forth to future strife. May the ideals we have gained Cause our faith and strength to grow. May the memories of these years Hold our hearts here when we go. And now we say the words We've dreaded so to tell, College mates--faculty--one and all. We've loved you much--farewell!
Lemuel Jay.

ANDERSON'S FAIRY TALE
(New Version--Gammage.)
"Oh Mother Mitchell, do tell us a lovely fairy story, one of Anderson's^--the new kind," teased the Youngblood twins as they chased around their grandmother's wicker chair. Yes, it was always the same old story, always, always, some thing new out of the old, thought the grandmother.
"Come," said the kind old mother as she lifted them to the arm of her chair, "you, you little red-head, and you, you little freckle face, and I'll tell you a story about the fairies you were asking about yesterday."
"But, Mother Mitchell, are there really fairies?" doubtingly questioned the red-headed Gibbs.
"Real honest-to-goodness ones ?" demanded the perplexed Clyatt, his freckle face grave with anxiety.
"Aha, he! you mischief makers, you think there are no fairies, hey--well, what causes the blue-bells to twinkle over the meadow, and from where does the whispering come when the leaves begin to fall? Oh, well," and the lady gravely shook her head, "I once heard about some little boys who didn't believe in fairies--Uh-huh!" But the youngsters dared not question her for fear she would Delay the story longer.
"Yeh," continued the old lady, "they wouldn't believe the stories their grandmothers told them, and many times they'd ask her if there were really fairies and always she'd just smile, so one day they decided that they would find out for themselves.
"That afternoon they started out on their search. Over the Meadows Brown, tinged with the blue of the freshly blooming Clark-ia, the fragrant sweet Williams, and the Small White Daisi-es nodding their heads as the Bland breeze gently whispered that twilight was coming, they went. On they journeyed to the jovial streamlet where the Waters raced incessantly over the mill dam. Adam--so high it made the smallest heart swell with admiration. The Mill's hum sounded thru the Ivey which covered its walls, as a monstrous hive of bees, hum--hum. May! Jay!' shrieked Chandler, the pet bird, as the boys frightened him from his daily task of eating all the fallen com and wheat from the huge mill rock.
" `Well, well/ exclaimed the jolly Miller, `and what are

THE PINE BRANCH
you Pryne into now? W'att matter today?'" "Can you tell us where the fairies live?" questioned
Arthur bashfully. Mr. Popped, the miller, thoughtfully scratched his head.
"Fairies?--Well, let me see--I'm sure I don't know. But here's Lendon Baker coming in at my door, perhaps he can tell you."
"And do you know where the fairies live?" questioned Arthur.
"Do you make fancy cakes?" queried Mack. "Mack!" Arthur exclaimed. "Mack" Lendon, the Baker mockingly jeered. "Oh, that's all right," comfortingly. "He's only a boy and Joan Mitchell's at that, just as I am just Brinson and just as big a little scamp as I was I'll bet. Let me Patt-erson on the back, and here's a nice jonny cake for the four of you. Run along and ask the line-burger Whitworths over across the way, perhaps they have seen the fairies while they were measuring off the land through the forest." Up the sloping hill they walked to where the Line-burger was busily looking through one of the "peep-holes" of his surveying instruments. Across the way a monstrous Bul lock who was feeding, now paused to see who was en croaching on Mr. Cockfield's, his master's private domains* Suspiciously he raised his head, his great eyes staring at them and they---they lost no time in reaching the protec tion of the surveyor. He looked around to see what all the commotion was, and probably not feeling so safe either, found himself gazing into the face of the muchly frightened Ran, who was endeavoring to be brave and ask the question as before*
"Kindly Rees-tate your question, Little Fellow, and I'll see what I can do for you."
"Is Ran-kin to Arthur, Mother Mitchell?" queried the freckled-faced Clyatt.
"They were all sisters, weren't they, Mother Mitchell," assured the provoked Red-headed Gibbs. "And what did the surveyor say?"
"Oh, he told them." continued the lady, "that beyond the pass to the forest lived the Faries, and that the Man of Living-stone guarded the gateway to their kingdom. But he would advise Joan AVoigt too much laughter, and if the fairy lady came that Ran not Sasser and Arthur not to
Fourteen

ANDERSON'S FAIRY TALE scold Mack and Mack not to eat any fairy cakes, for then he might turn to a fairy you know."
When they came to the pass to the forest and looked back over the village and saw the People's houses as so many toys, all red and white, and the clouds that La Far in the distance behind the great trees, they knew that indeed they had found Fairyland, e'en tho they had seen not one fairy. Twilight was falling, so fast, so fast, and the big moon crept up from the east, peeping over the tops of the trees to see what was happening in this old world. Below in the valley the. fairies began ringing the bluebells and--Well, bless my life if they aren't both asleep. Come, let me Folger precious hearts in my tired old arms." So saying she softly crooned--hum-ming--humming--until down Fel-der eyelids too in peaceful slumber.

PROPHECY CLASS OF 1924
Time: 1940 A. D.
Scene: Living' room of Mrs. Johanna Voight Meeks and Mr. C. Henry Meeks; atmosphere one of domestic tranquil ity, just after evening meal. Mr. Meeks is wistfully tatting by the glowing fire. Mrs. Meeks having just scanned the daily newspaper, and reading the choice bits to Mr. Meeks, is now immersed in The Alumnae Magazine, 1924, of G. S. W. C. Ever and anon Mr. Meeks voices some pertinent ob servation relative to the manifold duties of housekeeping, which meets with an absent "M-mum" from his better twothirds. Then, making a prodigious effort, he gathers his courage and timidly clears his throat:
"Er-is-er-the Alumnae very absorbing, dear Johanna?" "M-mum." "J-J-Johanna ?" "Well, what is it, Henry? You never allow me to read in peace," never lifting her eyes from the printed page. "Wh-what's the news, dear Johanna?" "Hush, Henry! How can I concentrate? So Martha Youngblood is literary editor of the New York Evening Times. I'll read you Lemuel Jay's sonnet--it's pretty fair. I certainly do not understand why they print this crazy free verse Evelyn Brown writes. Henry, do get JohannaHenry a drink--and see that she's covered." "Yes, dear Johanna." "Do you remember that flattering photograph Louise Poppell made of me? See, it's reprinted in here, together with mv masterful speech on The Care and Feeding of Chil dren. Heavenly day! I had no idea Mary Small would enter the senatorial race against Margaret La Far. And Mar garet's been senator once. "This. Henry, is a copy of one of Carolyn Ashley's por traits--she's won international recognition. Why I do de clare, it's Gertrude DeLay that was; and she's to be married again--an Italian count. She has three living and two dead. "Well, if Daisy Geiger hasn't sold a picture--one of those Cubists things called Gentleman Run Down by a Motor, with scattered arms and legs.

SOPHOMORE SONGS AND YELLS
"GREEN AND WHITE"
Tune: "Sweet Genevieve."
Oh, green and white, dear green and white, The years may come, the years may go, But still we'll keep our banner pure, The emblem of our loyalty.
The heart of every classmate here Beats at the very sight of thee, We love to see thee floating free. We love to stand and fight for thee.
Tune: ``Rambling Wreck."
Oh, I'd rather belong to the Sophomore class Than anything else I know,
I'd rather belong to the Sophomore class Than anything else I know,
For when you belong to them All things are bound to go--
So I'd rather belong to the Sophomore class Than anything else I know.
Sophomore class is high-minded, B'heve to my soul they're double-jointed. They play ball and don't mind it
All day long. ALMA MATER
Tune: "I'll Forget You."
(Sung Thanksgiving 1,923) From all the world we chose you our Alma Mater to be. And now we've come to tell you of our love for thee. For two whole years you've been so true And now we sing to you.
Chorus
Yes, we love you, In all our trials you have helped us; Yes, we love you, You've been so good and faithful too, When summer roses have lost their fragrance And the bluebirds their sweet refrain, We will love you, now, always and forever Yes, we love you, whatever may befall, When Heaven's gladness has turned to sadness Our love for you will remain.

Tune: "Red Moon."
Seniors, we've been glad to have you with us, Seniors, how we hate to see you go, Seniors, you know that we all love you, And we will miss you so; Your place can ne'er be filled. But we'll do the best we can. We will follow in your footsteps To the very last man. While for G. S. W.

FRESH-SOPH RECEPTION, 1924
Tune: "When Lights Are Low."
We met, we loved, we're parting, Far away we soon will go, And tho' we seem light hearted, We wonder if you know, When we're away we're thinking of the Freshmen Of '24, our true friends. Tho' it is now time for us to part. You'll always hold a place within our hearts. When we're far out on the sea of life We'll think of you amid the joys and strifes, We will long so, when lights are low, For you, Freshmen of '24.

SOPHOMORE SONGS AND YELLS
SONG FOR MAH JONGG PARTY
Tune: From "Feast of the Little Lanterns."
This is just the kind of feature We will give when we're a teacher. Play Mah Jong all along; It is really very clever And we don't believe we've ever Seen a party quite- so wise. We've enjoyed every minute, There's a lot of pleasure in it. And we wonder what will be the next surprise.
Oh, What They Keep Up Their Sleeves. There isn't anybody knows Everything you want, Nothing that you don't. Everything conceivable is there; Oh, what they keep up their sleeves, There isn't anybody knows Still he has it there, Still she has it there, No matter where they go.
Tune: "Tell Me."
Tell us, oh Freshmen tell us, Tell us how you got that way. We know that we are strongest And the dear old Sophomores will win today. Sophomore, oh dear old Sophomores, Sophomores, come on let's go. Freshmen, oh Freshmen, tell us, Oh, won't you tell us, how you got that way.

BY WAY OF EXPLANATION
The Pine Branch strives primarily for literary value and interest. In the current issue, however, while there is still literary value we trust, the primary interest lies in its value as a souvenir, or a memento both to the two classes whose class day is recorded, and to others who are inter ested in the work of the college or in the young ladies of the graduating classes.
If at times it seems that the jokes are pointless, or if the words fail to convey any real meaning to the reader, he must pause and think that these papers were written to be read before an audience familiar with the eccentricities, talents and limitations of the ones about whom they were written; he must consider the difference between reading the cold print, and hearing the same articles read by one who knew her subject, where a smile, an inflection of the voice might give a world of meaning to an otherwise mean ingless sentence.
When he keeps this in mind, we hope that this number of the Pine Branch will prove of no less interest to him than the other issues; and to the members of the grad uating classes we trust that this may be of double interest and value, since it is a record of their own life at the Geor gia State Womans College.
With this issue as a record of what they have done in the past, may they press forward to an even more successful and happy future than that recorded here.

CAP AND GOWN NEWS

Pandemonium broke loose among the student-body at
noon on May 17th, when it became known that the Fresh
men and Juniors had found the Sophs' and Seniors' caps and gowns. The Freshmen, in the borrowed caps and gowns, formed their line in West Hall and proceeded to the north door of Ashley Hall, marched into the dining hall and there rendered their mock class day program. The Sophs and Seniors, while quite surprised at the unlooked for event, played the game like good sports, and none clapped louder than they as parts of their own class day program were
read. The Sophs found consolation in the fact that the class will was the only paper secured by the Freshmen in its complete form, the other papers being still unfinished or material not belonging to the Sophs at all. We think had the Sophomores known that while they were calmly enjoying the hospitality of the Rotarians at Ocean Pond, the Freshmen were searching their rooms and that of their

faculty advisors, they would not have been so much at ease. The Sophomores were also informed that the Freshmen, upon securing the caps and gowns, rushed madly to cancel an order for the Waycross High School caps and gowns. We hand it to the Freshmen, however, that though it was an accident which placed the caps and gowns in their hands, they must be given credit for breaking a record of five years standing.
PICTURE SHOW PARTY
One of the most delightful entertainments of commence ment was the picture show party given for the graduating classes by Mr. Johnson, manager of the Strand Theater. The picture was "Twenty-One," featuring Richard Barthemess, and the girls enjoyed it extremely. After the picture was over the young ladies tried to express their apprecia tion to Mr. Johnson by a song and yell, but they found af terward that while they were singing and cheering in his honor, Mr. Johnson was sitting lonesomely out on the road with his car out of gas!
B*A**C*C*A*L*A*UR EATE SERMON The baccalaureate services were held at the Methodist church, Sunday morning, May 25th. The college students entered singing "Praise Ye the Father." The entire studenr body then rendered "The Lord Is Great" (Mendelssohn.) Rev. Wallace, of the Christian church, delivered a most in teresting and inspiring address, taking as his text Matthew 16:25, "Whosoever shall save his life shall lose it, but who soever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it." -
VISIT OF GEORGIA GENERAL ASSEMBLY The members of the Georgia General Assembly were the guests of the college on May 1st. During the afternoon they attended the May Day Festival given on the green. In the evening the representatives were entertained at din ner by the faculty and college grls. Mr. Powell, president of the college, made a very convincing speech on the value of our college to South Georgia, and the State.

CLASS PLAY
"As I remember, Adam, it was upon this fashion.,, These were the first words heard by the great audience which witnessed the Sophomore class play, "As You Like It," at the Strand Theater on Monday evening, May the twentysixth. From this speech of Orlando to the final words of the banished Duke, "Proceed, proceed; we will begin these rites, as we do trust they'll end in true delights," and on throughout the peasant dance, which proved to be the "true delights," the girls presented their splendid interpretation of this Shakespearean comedy to an enthusiastic and ap preciative audience. Rosalind, daughter to the banished Duke, and Celia, daughter to his brother Frederick, as played by Miss Louise McLendon of Valdosta and Miss Mil* dred Williams of Fargo, easily won their way into the hearts of the audience.
The Duke, banished by his brother Frederick, as por trayed by Miss Jewell Mitchell of Brunswick, left the au dience without a doubt as to why so many men were leaving court to join him in his retreat in the forest of Arden. Frederick, played by Miss Catherine Wheeler of Waycross, rose from the position of villain to that of near hero in the eyes of the audience.
Amiens and Jaques, lords attending on the banished Duke, were impersonated by Miss Olin Bland of Vidalia and Miss Margaret LaFar of Savannah.
Miss Martha Youngblood of Savannah gave a sympa thetic interpretation of the love-sick Orlando, and not only won the heart of Rosalind, whose heart he had tripped at the same time at the feet of Charles, the wrestler, but also the hearts of the audience.
Miss Christine Meadows of Tifton, as Touchstone, the clown, showed her natural ability of wit and humor. His true love, Audrey, a country wench whose chief unattract iveness lay in her love for apples, was played by Miss Agnes Adams of Adel. Others of the cast who gave splendid in terpretations of Shakespeare's characters were:
Le Beau, a courtier attending upon Frederick, Miss Ger trude DeLay of Rome; Charles, a wrestler, Miss Johanna Voigt of Blackshear; Jaques De Boys, brother of Orlando and Oliver, Miss Essie Mae Clarke of Blakely; Adam, ser vant to Orlando, Miss Frances Faries of Savannah ; Gorin, a shepherd, Miss Louise Poppel of Jesup; Silrius, a shep

The success of the play was due largely to the splendid corps of workers co-operating with the cast. Much credit it due Miss Margaret Strunk, head of Dramatic Depart ment, who supervised the play. Miss Daisy Geiger of Val dosta, and Miss Mary Small, also of Valdosta, were in charge of advertising material; Miss Lemuel Jay of States boro, stage manager; Miss Clarice Ivey of Valdosta, prop erty manager; Miss Elizabeth Livingston of Brunswick, ticket agent; and Miss Miriam McNair of Whigham, costumerw
Mr. Powell, by his knowledge of Shakespeare, proved to be a valuable assistant supervisor. Valdosta people by their enthusiastic attendance were an incentive to the girls to play hard, and they did. The class of '24 presented the best play in the history of the college.

Y. W. C. A. NOTES
Y. W. PICNIC
The last of the school term means very much to the Y. W. C. A., for it is during this time that we complete the work of the year and organize the work for the coming one. This year we enjoyed an outdoor feature in our program. This was the Y. W. picnic, a most enjoyable occasion, in which the entire student body participated. We all enjoyed once more playing the old-time games, "Blind Man's Buff," "Drop the Handkerchief" and others, after which we were given a delightful lunch and then "hiked" back to the campus. We are all well assured that this picnic will stand out in in our minds as the best one we have ever attended.
"CANDLE SERVICE"
The sweetest vesper program of the year to us is the "candle service," for at this time our new cabinet is in stalled. The service this year was especially beautiful, due to the splendid co-operation of the girls. Very impressive talks were made by Miss Lemuel Jay, the retiring presi dent, Miss Verna Scarboro, the incoming president, and Miss Sara Goodrich of the faculty. The entire cabinet for the year 1924 and 1925 is: President, Verna Scarboro; vice president, Florence Breen; secretary, Georgia Gibson; treasurer, Sara Manderville; undergraduate representative, Annie Lloyd Liggin. Heads of different committees: Religious education, Evelyn McArthur; social standards, Margaret LaFar; social service, Elsie Gunn; world fellow ship, Ruth Folger; Bible study, Lydia Minter; publicity, Frances Folsom; library, Olive Rogers; music, Hester Bruce; room, Daisy Sims; country store, Alma Luke.
MOTHERS' DAY
Mothers' Day is one that the girls could hardly do with out. Because we were away from home, many gifts, letters and expressions of love were sent our mothers. Here many thankful prayers were offered for mothers of the world and particularly our mothers in Georgia. A fitting close for the day was the beautiful vesper service that evening. Miss Alice Clark sang "Mother 0' Mine," which appealed to ev eryone very much, and Mrs. R. A. Peeples gave an inspi rational talk on "Mothers of Tomorrow."

ALUMNAE NOTES
A big beautiful dream it was, a dream of the home com ing of one hundred and eighty-three alumnae girls! A dream of forty-seven new daughters to add to the one hun dred and eighty-three and a jolification there would be when daughters who had gone out with diplomas into the field of service--daughters whose college days had been lived in the one building, that of Converse hall, should return! Not only would there be the three girls of the class of '14, the four remaining ones of the class of '15, and the four who are left also of the class of '16, but girls of all the classes through '23!
Printed invitations--no, and not even engraved invita tions, would sufficiently emphasize the importance of this Family Reunion! So day after day for three months, per sonal letters to first this one and then the next went out from Alma Mater's halls--letters they were filled with bits of news of other members of the Alumnae Family, of the joy that this proposed home coming would give to the campus family and always would be included the ad dresses of the classmates of the member to whom the par ticular letter was sent, in an effort to strengthen the ties and secure the enthusiastic support of everyone directly interested; then later were followed reminders in the form of commencement programs and banquet announcements.
Quickly and surely May the twenty-fourth came and one member of the class of '23 who had written that she could only with difficulty wait until commencement, appeared with the purpose of seeing it through! Indeed, Alma Kicklighter regretfully departed on May the twenty-ninth after nearly all the girls had deserted the few who stayed over for summer session of June the third to July the twelfth.
Monday's trains brought Marion Groover, class of '18, Kennie Lasseter Willis, class of '21, Bessie Barrett and Ruth Wilson, class of '23. Were joyful dreams to come true? Were the girls accepting the suggestion that Tues day was the day when they would be needed and wanted most of all or were disappointments evident? Alumnae business meeting scheduled for 9:30 Tuesday morning would disclose the secret.
As rumors will spread, one such did get abroad that 10:30 would be the hour for assembling in the science room of West Hall and this hour found girls continuing to

Seriousness with much memment entertained the group as one by one the following girls arose and modestly and briefly told of her location and work: Class of T6, Lottie Jarrell Stump and Gertrude Jones rtooerts, T7, Arhe GasKins reazell, Clyde Purcell rauen, anu nnnma Sue Morris King; T8, ina Askew Han cock, Ida Groover, Marion Groover, Frances Kaylor Barker and Edith Patterson; T9, Minnie Ruth Brown, Lois May .Day, and iSatalie birmans Williams; '20, Margaret Breen Slover, Augusta Brown, Mattie Campbell Lester, Helen nizer, Mildred Smith Kelly, and Kennie Lasseter Willis; 21, Helen Allen Thomas, Nellie Blalock, lina Flynt, Ruth Har rell, Mildred Price, and Anna Rizer; '22, Estelle Barker, Mary Crum, Mae Crum, Alma Lee Day, Chloe Ivey, Henrilu Ivey, Willie Mae Mathews, and Mary Poindexter; '23, Nanna Alexander, Bessie Barrett, Jewell Carmack, Ruth Carin, Frances Dekle, Katie Herrin, Alma Kicklighter, Deborah Patterson, Gussie Bell Rentz, Eppie Roberson, Verna Scar borough, Corinne Studstill, Clarice Weathersbee, and Ruth Wilson. The record would be incomplete were I not to add these who attended some feature of commencement during the days of May 24-29: Class of '21, Martha Lu cas, Virginia Peeples, Evelyn Powell Edwards and Edna Sasser Thompson; '22, Juanita Parrish; '23, Marion
Chauncey. While the business meeting was of course the business
meeting and full of practical interest, the real joy was the alumnae banquet held in the college dining hall Tuesday evening. Tables were arranged to form an A, with sweet peas, Lady Gay roses and gladioli in all the light shades as decorations. The charm of the whole was complete when the girls in all the varied colors of the season, graced by the five faithful men of the faculty, who as we learned later, were envious of the privilege exercised by the girls "of dis guising themselves almost beyond recognition," made a picture long to be remembered. The fairy godmother with her magic wand chased away weariness from her over worked children and bestowed a spirit of restfulness and gay, though softly subdued, voices which made the spirit of the evening a delight.

ALUMNAE NOTES

Mr. Poston played the march for the guests to enter the

dining hall and, as usual, his ability to quickly sense a sit

uation and meet an opportunity that would add a spirit of

fun, now came into play. Just as Mr. Henderson, the book

keeper, and Miss Marion Groover, who was the president's

private secretary of several years past, stepped forward to

join the jolly company, Mendelssohn's Wedding March was

heard, and coming down the aisle were none other than the

couple above mentioned, much to the amusement of all

present.

.

Seated at the short table at the point of the A were the

guests of honor: Mr. Wood, dean; Miss Hopper, dean of

women, and President and Mrs. Powell, with Lottie Jarrell

Stump and Edith Patterson, the outgoing and incoming

presidents of the Alumnae Association, as hostesses. Other

guests, both faculty and alumnae, of whom there were one

hundred five in number, were seated along the table form

ing the center and the main lines of the A. The banquet

was prepared by Mrs. Remington, one of Valdosta's best

caterers, and served by an attractive group of college Fresh

men. Miss Hopper very gracefully presided as toastmaster.

The guests were greeted by Lottie Jarrell Stump and

songs were rendered by Ruth Wilson and Ruth Harrell. In

the absence of Bessie Proctor Kennon, Edith Patterson

spoke on the "Growth of the Alumnae Association. Lina

Flynt gave a reading, and Helen Allen Thomas a poem of

her on composition. And Helen's poem--well, just look on

another page of the Pine Branch and enjoy it for yourself

as others of us did. The songs by the two Ruths and the

reading by Lina were all encored and when we came to the

close of Marion Groover's delightful speech on "All About

It," the applause could easily have been taken for an en

core, so great was the appreciation. Indeed, while Marion

was wondering what more she could say, Miss Hopper, ap

parently believing that Marion should be relieved from

further entertainment of the guests, and the remainmg

secrets of her comprehensive subject left in reserve for

another occasion, called for the next number. Very atten-

THE PINE BRANCH It was well after eleven o'clock when the "Alma Mater," a new song it was too, written for this special occasion, ended the evening's entertainment. Helen Allen Thomas and Evelyn Brown were the authors. This composition you also may enjoy from another page of the Pine Branch. No one apparently wanted to go, and good-nights and good byes were reluctantly said by the jolly company as they withdrew from the banquet hall into the rounda. While there were only a fourth of the one hundred eightythree alumnae present, there were also , more than another fourth who sent messages of loyalty and affection to their fellow alumnae, classmates, and teachers. This showed where the hearts of the girls were.
