Glad to Meet You
We're glad to introduce you now To the Annual of Nineteen-twenty,
And if you will but look it thru. 'Twill give you news a plenty.
'Twill tell you all about this place, This jar-famed Meredith College;
It shows you where we have our fun, And whence our boundless knowledge.
It knows lots more than it has said.
About the profs, tyrannical. But censors would not let it speak.
Because it seemed "profannical."
II e think 'twould interest all you folks.
For those of you ivho're here now IT ill know just what is serious,
Ami laugh at what is pow-wow.
And those of you who once have dwelled Within these sacred confines,
W ill have your memories gently stirred By rare diversions for your minds.
And so we take great pleasure
In making you acquainted. We hope that by your comments
Its fair "rep" will not be tainted.

Eternal Life
To see our God's eternal face
In every flower thai grows. To hear his tender, loving voice
In all the wind that blow*. To understand each chirping bird.
The murmur of every stream, To aim at stars in glory set,
To strive for every dream. To know the heart of some dear friend.
To be true and sincere to all. To live for others till life's fair end.
To rise and never fall. To care and love and lift and praise — This is Eternal life!

Alma Mater
We salute thee, Alma Mater, we salute thee with a song,
At thy feet our loyal hearts their tribute lay; We had waited for thy coming, in the darkness ivaited long,
Ere the morning star proclaimed thy natal day.
Thou hast come through tribulation, and thy robe is clean and white,
Thou art fairer than the summer in its bloom; Thou art born unto a kingdom, and thy crown is all of light;
Thou shalt smile away the shadow and the gloom.
In thy paths the fields shall blossom and the desert shall rejoice,
In the wilderness a living fountain spring, For the blind shall see thy beauty and the deaf shall hear thy voice,
And the silent tongues their high hozannas sing.
Where the rhododendron blushes on the burly mountain s breast, In the midland where the ivild deer love to roam;
Where the water-lily slumbers while the cypress guards its rest, Lol thy sunny land of promise and thy home.
Where the sons of Carolina taught a Nation to be free, And her daughters taught their brothers to be brave;
O'er a land of peaceful plenty, from the highlands to the sea, May thy banner, Alma Mater, ever wave.
R. T. Vann.

Autumn
From May until September
Meredith's been in Nature's care; But the months of Fall 's when Nature
Leaves her charges rather bare. But does Meredith lack a keeper?
Is her lot a lonely one? Could it be when other beauties
Come when Fall Term has begun?
Seniors, Juniors, Sophomores, Freshmen,
With one common goal in view; Just to breathe once more in comfort,
When that classifying's through. All excitement, all emotion,
Tempers held — thus courage shown, Every action evidencing
Meredith's come into her own.
Barre Pritciiett, '23.

When snow/lakes spread a blanket o'er our world
And fold the tender, budding Freshmen in, Each teasing Sophomore's flag is tightly furled,
And Juniors say, who lags commits a sin.
The Seniors knit their brows and tear their hair,
And try to get some wisdom in their heads. But ere they start — it seems to me not fair —
The light-bell sends them to their sleepless beds.
The morning brings no rest for weary hearts,
While ivork piles up till drooping heads groiv weak;
Then wonder from too-wearied patience starts,
And asks. Why so much knowledge one should seek?
Sure, honest work keep's pleasure's banner furled W hen snow flakes spread a blanket o'er our world.

Spring
Spring! ah, now, 'tis truly Spring! Flowers blooming, birds on wing, All in joyous, happy rhyme, Welcoming the glad Springtime.
Forth with laughter bright and song Comes a host, a merry throng Of girls, arrayed in many hues Out o keepin with the blues.
O'er the campus gay they swarm, Merry o' heart and light o' form; Books and lessons all forgot — What care they for graph or plot?
Why, you ask, this gay display? School girls aren't like this alway! But, 'tis true, carefree are they When it nears the end o'May!

LILLIE MAY AYCOCK, A.B Louisburc, N. C.
English — Science
"A happy soul, thai all the way To Heaven hath a summer's day."
Lillie May is generally recognized as the class optimist. She is not, however, one of the lazy, let-the-world-take-care-of-itself optimists; on the contrary, she is perfectly willing and able to accomplish any task which is presented to her. Only Lillie May, we feel sure, could have staged the Victory Pageant which was presented to the State Baptist Convention, without suffering a nervous breakdown at some point of the process. Her cheerfulness and her poetic imagination, which is often exhib- ited in sonnet-form, make her an ideal con- versationalist. This will be a valuable asset to her in her chosen profession, and taking all else into consideration, we dare predict that Doctor Aycock will be very successful.

Petite? Yes. but in size only, for she was vi ted our most brilliant Senior, and is one of the best all-'round girls of the Class of '20. She is always happy and smiling, is never too bus) for fun or for a date in the "'back parlor." We have never been able to find anything which Dorothy could not do, and do well. She is one of our best actresses. No stage produc- tion at Meredith is quite complete without her. Just now she is endeavoring to decide whether to pursue an already brilliant career or to settle down to the joys and sorrows of a minister's wife. Whatever she does and wherever she goes. Meredith will be proud of her. Three cheers for "Dot," the "baby" of our Class!

Science
A cheerful temper joined with innocence will make beauty attractive, knowledge de- lightful, and wit good-natured.
Blanche is a rare girl in t hat she may always be depended upon to do what is asked of her, and to do it on time, too. She demonstrated her capability and dependability to the whole school when she so admirably supervised the kum-Bak-In. the "Y" tea-room, during the three weeks of quarantine. Another unusual thing about Blanche is her scientific turn of mind, for Miss Mennenhall will be glad to tell you what an efficient Chemistry assistant she has been. Moreover, she is a very popular girl, and conscientious, too, though it has been reported ( falsely, I assure you • that she was off the Honor Roll. She is one of our class- mates who is ambitious for an M.D., and will in time accomplish much in lidding the world of disease.

She is not only sweet, but capa- ble: is able to do anything from running the Student Government Association to starring in an operetta.

The mildest manners with the bravest mind.
Is there anything that Mamie cannot do well? If so, we're yet to discover it, and we've seen her do lots of things. Its rather remark- able to find one girl who can star in English, parley-vous francais, play basketball, and run the library, but "Mame" has done all that! She writes excellent poetry, too, whenever she has time to allow her muse to work. In addi- tion to all these accomplishments, she has that indefinable something called personality which makes her liked by everyone. These and a few more are our reasons for making her our Senior President.

Too bus) with the crowded hour To feat to Hi e or die.
Can any one remember the time when Madge wasn't busy? She began her college career by being elected Freshman \ ice-Presi- dent. Since that time she has influenced many things, among which are the Athletic Associa- tion, the Astrotekton Society, and I n.b. I the Student Government Association. She bus taken all her responsibilities so seriously that her dissipations have usually been limited to extended conversations over the telephone. which begin at about 10:30 in the evening! But cheer up, party at the other end of the wire; commencement is coming, and then, per- haps, she will be at leisure to enjoy her talents othei than the use of her oracular tongue.

True as the needle to the pole, Or as the dial to the sun.
Isla is indeed a "true blue" girl in every sense. Take her either as a friend or a stu- dent, and you'll find her loyal, sincere, and just. Determined? Yes, but not until she is sure that she's right in what she's undertaking. Regarding her intellectual ability, it is only necessary to say that her major and minor subjects are Math and two Modern Languages. Isla, we wish you success!

History — French
In youth and beauty wisdom is but rare.
But Eva is a real rarity, for she speaks both French and German almost a? well as she does English — and you must know that is very well, for if you notice her list ol honors you will see that she was Editor-in-Chief of the Acorn. Our only regret with regard to Eva is that we never saw enough of her. for, alas! she has always
bee ie of our day-students. Foi that reason
we were tempted to regard quarantine as a blessing in disguise, for then she lia I to move in among us. Even then, our enjoyment of her presence was somewhat tempered by our sym- pathy for poor "Bob," who seemed sad because In- couldn't follow her here.

YERNIE SCARBOROUGH EDDINS, A.B. Palmerville, N. C.
Science- French
Good sense which only is the gift of Heaven, And, though no science, fairly north the seven.
Indeed, the gods were good to us when they gave us Vernie, for she has been one of the most loyal, lovable, and efficient members of our Class. It would be difficult to name her greatest virtue — for she has them all. She performs her many college duties in such an unassuming manner that we often wonder how they are done and done so well. She is a splendid worker in the Y. W. C. A., in the class, and in anything else that calls for capa- bility. Her intellectual ability is proved when we say that she is electing Math and is an instructor in Chemistry. Meredith will miss her, for there aren't many of her type. We expect her to win many honors for her Alma Mater.

\l \TTIE BURKE GUNTER. A.B. Sanford, N. C.
History — French
I see how thine eye would emulate the dia- mond; thou hast the right arched beauty oj the brow.
Matlie B., as she insists on being called, is famous as being one member of the Class of "20 who can occasionally drop a ball in the basket. You would be able to understand this better, perhaps, if you saw a full-length, life- size picture of her! She can do other things well, too — you just ought to bear her giving French resumes. And she skipped one year's work, too. The only thing which ever interrupted the smooth course of Mattie's academic work was her health, which was 'most always poor at week-ends, especially when the faculty had ruled that we spend them within the bounds of Meredith, or when we've been in quaran- tine a couple of weeks. Mattie B. occasionally wonders where she will teach next year, but we have no doubt that her position will prove satisfactory — that is, if her daily "Specials'" are from her prospective "Superintendent."

But he ivhose inborn north his acts command, Of gentle soul, to human race a friend.
Berta has been an invaluable asset to our class. She can always be depended on, whether it is working a Math problem or being "right there" when she is wanted. The girl who counts Berta as her friend is very lucky, for her friendship is truly worth while. She has a strong character and a strong will, and we know she will do well in whatever she un- dertakes. She is lovable and unselfish, and none is sweeter than she if you approach her at the right minute. She deserves the best that life holds, and we truly hope she may get it.

MARY SUE HUNT, A.B.
Cliffside, N. C.
History — English
Whence thy learning? Hath thy toil O'er book consumed the midnight oil?
Mary Sue is a notable example of how much natural ability is enhanced by application. She is one of those girls who are so greatly admired by their instructors, because they never allow outside duties or pleasures to interfere with their college work. But do not think that Mary Sue has merely studied, for when once her lessons are prepared, she is ready to help in any of the other college activities. And the things that she does then are worthy of notice, too, whether it be "elocuting," singing, or playing the organ.

History
Needs not the foreign aid of ornament. But is when unadorn'd adorn' d the most.
Emma came to us in the middle of our Junior year, and we have never ceased to be thankful to the good fairy who led her to join the Class of '20. Sweet, charming, and with the utmost simplicity of manner, she easily wins her way into the most hard-hearted of hearts. She is one of our best ball players; also, an actress. She took the star role in our Senior play. As to her intellectual ability, it is sufficient to say that she took the whole History course in one year. We predict for Emma an early journey on the sea of matri- mony— since she isn't planning a career — and we truly hope it will be without storms or gales.

Begone, Old Care, itnd I prithee begone from

Though Jessie has been at Meredith only two years, that time has been sufficient for us to learn to appreciate her and her wonderful disposition. Her accomplishments arouse our admiration, for she is a shining light, whether it be as a student of English, an actress, or as a twin in the "Light Brigade." She works hard and plays hard, and yet always has time to do anything asked of her. Her winning way will make her a favorite, wherever she goes. Converse's loss has been our gain.

Exhausting thought
And hiving wisdom with each studious year.
Although Ophelia has been pretty busy "hiving wisdom" during her four years here, still she has managed to spare some time to mingle with her classmates, and we know and admire her for her many splendid qualities. She is just as good as she is studious — and remember, she's voted the most studious in the Class. She is diligent and "knowing." Any of her professors will testify to that — and perhaps they wish there were more like her.

But Frances has more excuses "for being," than her personal beauty, though she was voted the prettiest girl in the Senior Class, by a large majority. She ako has the faculty of making tilings beautiful to us poor mortals who lack the artistic touch. She has real ability, too, for hn» would the Astrotektons have managed without her this year? And any member of our Class will testify that in Class affairs she has always been "Johnny on the Spot."

But Love is blind, and lovers cannot see The pretty follies they themselves commit.
Though Tlielma is one of the youngest of our Class, she has proceeded quite as far as any of us down the enticing Lover's Lane, for didn't she visit His Mother during the Christmas holidays? She is also a very bright girl, and never has to worry over her work. In fact, the only real worry which she experiences, aside from her daily anxiety concerning the mails, arises from the fear that in spite of her hastily acquired dignity, her age — no, I should have said her youth — will prevent her from securing the position that she wants. Small comfort does she derive from the fact that time will remove this difficulty, for she seems quite sure that she'll not want to teach long!

They're only truly great who are truly good.
It's not merely because Marguerite was our Y. W. t '.. A. President that we have seen fit to name her "truly good." For moreover, she is a truly good talker, as most any of her acquaint- ances can witness from their experience. But more than that, she is a good sport, which is one reason for her special popularity among her class mates. Can one of us remember a good show or a ball game to which Marguerite wasn't ready to go? And, finally, if her grades in Cooking.

Rose is a rare example of promptness. No one has ever known her to be a minute late for a date or a duty during her four years here. Quite a record, don't you think? Also, she believes that the best policy is to "work while you work and play while you play." Probably this accounts for her always having time to take in all the shows and to get acquainted with every girl in school — especially the Fresh- men. Rose is popular among the girls, because she has the art of both making and keeping friends. She is also a leader. Any member of the Pbilaretian Literary Society will tell you that she has made a wonderful President this year. Whatever Rose decides to do, we know she'll do it efficiently— and "on time."'

Who would ever have believed that such beautiful playing, such a sweet, soft voice, and such quaint modesty would be found together with a genuine love of the good things of life — dancing, movies, automobiles, good jokes, boys? One of Lillian's greatest attractions is that she is eternally saying or doing something which absolutely surprises us.

Jessie is very positive in her statements and sticks to them. Tbis may be due to the fact that she usually knows she is right before she speaks. \l>n. she isn't a bit bashful about telling you when you're not in the right, whether you're talking in the library or break- ing a rule of the revered Student Government Handbook. But she always does this in a well- meaning spirit, and though the poor offenders may resent it at the moment, they invariably appreciate her attitude later. There is not even a symptom of pretense in Jessie, and when she likes you, she is as true and sincere a friend as you could desire.

As for being House President, just ask any of the Main Building girls, and they will tell you "she's a wonder."

Love to one, friendship to a few, and good will to all.
Fannie, the best-beloved President Fair- clntli Hall has ever had, is all that her name implies — sweet, optimistic, happy, friendly, obliging. She is not the kind of girl to shirk her tasks to enjoy life. Instead, she enjoys doing her duty almost as well as anything else. And for this reason she has been one of the most useful members of our Class. She has that gift of making herself liked, and would be an adorable teacher if she should attempt it. But rumor has it that some chivalrous young knight or "Earl" has other plans for her future.

"Little Un" is indeed an unusual combina- tion— the dignity of a giant and the size of a flea! She is a remarkable example of the power of the mind and mental attitude to overcome any merely physical limitations. Her will-power is not in the least hampered be- cause of its small abiding place, as any of the Meredith girls will affirm. And she has real executive ability, too. for did she not man the business end of Oak Leaves straight through the troublous days of quarantine? We may fittingly say of Glenn, that it's "quality, not quantity." that counts.

The days draw near when ice must fare away, To meet the problems of the changing age,
But ere we go, may we sweet tribute pay To Alma Mater's care and heritage?
The memory o/ hours spent in her halls
Brings thought of things we wished and jailed to gain, But inner joy with happier message calls
linl tells of days long spent but not in vain.
She stands a beacon light to point the way, A teacher wise who rules but yet is kind,
A friend with whom we fain would ever stay, The one belov'd we have joyed to find.
O mother ever lair and ivondrous true. We give the best love in our hearts to you!

Senior Class History
It has been said by wise men that "the annals of peace are short," and to live up to this our history must not cover much space, for, really, we have had a very peaceful four years except for the unavoidable evidences of Sophomore spirit. But so many things have happened which are vitally important to us, at least, that the problem of "briefing" these events seems to me quite enormous.
In the beginning,- we created a sensation by being the largest class which Meredith had ever boasted. A hundred strong we were! Though the Sophomores were very persistent in proclaiming that "These Bones Gonna Rise Again," and succeeded, a trifle, in shaking the vast amount of self-confidence with which we had been armed, as high school graduates, they realized the latent possibilities in us if we were harassed too much, and so we were soon allowed to organize without any real interference by them.
But in spite of all our boldness as a body, individually we were poor, terrified, homesick Freshmen, with the one purpose, in our hearts, of making life endurable until Christmas. The waiting seemed interminable; but. at last, Christmas did happen and with great joy and with a strong determination never to set foot on Meredith campus again, we took the homeward trail. What was our amazement, after our sojourn at home, to find that we had contracted a sort of affection for the girls and even for the college itself, and so with brave hearts but shaking knees we returned to the hitherto unexperienced but greatly famed horror of — Mid-year Exams. But after all, "the anticipation was greater than the realization," and we found, to our great joy, that the Freshman Class had made a very creditable showing.
The days began to pass swiftly now, and almost before we knew it spring came and we joyfully packed our trunks and went home for the shortest summer of our lives.
September brought us back again, no longer green, timid Freshmen, but the bold- est of the bold — Sophomores. How we did make those "Newish" stand around, and oh, the good times we had ! Everything good came to us that year. Among them was the huge '22 which the State College Sophomores painted in front of Meredith. It was the first of its kind, and my! weren't we proud of it?

During that year our own dear Seniors took us out to Lassiter's Mill and gave us the very best time we had ever had. And so the year passed in work and good times. and soon it was time for us to carry the long-looked-forward-to Daisy Chain for our Seniors. How thrilled and happy we were! and yet a little sad, too, for you see we knew we wouldn't have the Class of '18 with us again.
Our Junior year was rather an uneventful one, just as most Junior years are. We loved "our Freshmen," and truly there never was such a Freshman class before. They showed us a royal good time at a Valentine Party, and we departed from the beaten path, of Juniors of previous years, by taking "our little sisters" to the movies.
In March we took the Seniors to tea at the Yarborough and entertained them at a reception that evening. Commencement came, and we were destined to take rather a back seat, for we were neither Seniors nor Sophomores.
Then we were Seniors! Didn't we enjoy hearing the awe-struck Freshmen whis- per as we stalked majestically by — "She's a Senior"! We have felt our responsibility, of setting a good example, keenly, and have done our best to be dignified, though we sometimes failed in that respect.
We have been royally entertained this year. Senior parties have been much in vogue, and Mrs. Bickett, Miss Welsch, Mrs. Cooper, Miss Brewer, and others have honored us in delightfullv unique ways.
Our darling Sophomores have entertained us, not once, but twice this year — one time at a wonderful picnic, and then again at a reception. They seem to grow sweeter as each day passes, and our memory of them will be one of the dearest treasures of our lives.
And so — the year is drawing to a close and we are very glad, and also very sorry. Glad because we have accomplished what we set out to do, and sorry because we so love our Alma Mater. We only hope to make her as proud of us as we are of her.

Whether reading Latin J 7.
Or racing headlong into town
11 hen she hears some friend's around.
Mary Martin will make her mark.
Because on Math she is a shark.
She curls her hair, but that's no crime;
We are proud to say. "She's a friend o' mine.'
"Chris" is the genius of our class; All the English she can pass. She's charming as a librarian, too Nothing ice ask she fails to do.

Alva elects Math., which is so hard; Her determination she II ne er discard. She draws with ease disection cosines, And difficult tasks she never minds.
The letters that magic for ''Cutie" hold Are W . F. C. and two more, I'm told. But that's a secret: this is not: She's the very sweetest among our lot.
W hat's nicer than a little girl who makes
candy? And who is really smart and just as handy? On all of her studies she is very bright — So, you see, she has time to write "him" every
night.

History of the Junior Class
"Good people all. from every clime.
Give ear unto my song: And if you find it ivondrous short.
It cannot keep you long."
To Meredith there came one day
A band of girls a hundred strong — All new, all bright, all green, all gay,
We mingled here in frightened throng.
We braved the seas of Chemistry,
Latin, Math., and then some more: Nightly our dreams disturbed were
By Sophomores howling by the score.
'Twas in the year of seventeen,
War held many things in store; We chose our mascot, a Sammie, fine as ever seen,
And Hooverized above the roar.
The next year we were Sophomores,
On bloody deeds we were intent; With red snakes coiled on Freshmen's doors,
Their wills to ours ivere easily bent.
Our Seniors — God bless 'em! — we gave a banquet.
And in their honor planted a tree; They planned for us a wondrous picnic.
At which we feasted right royally.
That year was blest of all years —
A joyful memory through sunshine and rain:
At the end, though sad with parting tears, We carried the daisy chain.
[page eighty-nine]
1920
And now at last we come
To the close of our Junior year; However far away we roam.
Our thoughts will linger here.
Our Faculty has proved the best.
Class '19 a shining light, Class '23 dearest of all the rest —
In all our schoolmates we delight.
Our Fairy mascot has bound us,
Each to each, with ties of love; Her gentle spirit shines around us
As the rainbow from above.
Now let us sing, '"Long live this class!
And Meredith, long live she! And when we graduate next year.
May all be there to see!"

Sophomore Class History
Do you remember how full of hopes and dreams you were when you first started to college? Well, in the fall of 1918 a throng of just such young hopefuls, namely, we Freshmen, descended upon the city of Raleigh and Meredith College. The befuddling days of classifica- tion over, we were initiated into college life proper, and soon had the pleasure of going to the movies with the Juniors.
All went well until influenza appeared, and then in a few days quarantine became a dreadful reality, with no relief until Christmas. After the holidays, however, life was not so hard, and we went home after commencement, looking forward to a glorious year.
The most of our class returned to realize that glorious year and, incidentally, to make those Newish walk a chalk line. We have done it. But the Freshmen, bless their dear green hearts! have taken every- thing meekly. They even call us kindhearted.
Our sisters are now dignified Seniors, and the most wonderful class imaginable. They have stood by us always, and now that commence- ment has come and gone, taking them with it, we think not so much of the beautiful daisy chain and how proud we were, but of how much we shall miss them next year. We almost dread the fall, for our Seniors will not be here, and yet we long for it to come, for it brings to us Juniorship and upper-class dignity.

Freshman Class Poem
We've hitched our wagon to a star.
Its light around us throwing; Our first year at old Meredith,
And yes — "We're green but growing."
No more we'll come to Meredith As Freshies. Happy thought!
But still our first-year lessons learned With gold could not be bought.
We say good-bye to Meredith,
'Till Sophs we get to be, And hope that next year's Freshman Class
Will equal pleasure see.
[piBl ONE HUNDRED AND TWO

Freshman Class History
Last September such a throng of girls as you have never seen before descended upon Meredith. The larger part of them were Freshmen, even though the Faculty was seemingly unwilling to classify them as such.
We were welcomed with open arms — by the Sophs especially. What a horror we had of that formidable body, the Sophomore class! But their bluffing exteriors hide many a kind heart, as we have since found out.
After the nerve-racking days of classification were over, we went through a series of receptions. Really, thought we, in our innocent Freshman way, college life is a veritable bed of roses. However, there was a speedy disillusionment, and we came to earth with a thud. Then began the life of toil and unwearing labor ( interrupted at intervals by some jolly good times ) , from which we have never swerved. And we never expect to till the goal is reached and the prize awarded — a shiny, brand-new diploma !
R. F., '23.

At Evening Time
Sundown, and on the earth the shadows
Swiftly jailing: The weary, with endless toil and care.
Slips to rest: Far of), the herdsman to his cattle
Faintly calling, If hile the star of evening climbs from
Its bed in the nest.
For me is swiftly setting life's hopeful.
Golden sun. lud deepening shadows gather in the
Far-off west; A gentle voice: "Fear not, 'tis evening time.
Life's work is done" — hid. 05 one by one the stars appear, I sink to rest.

Student Government Association 1919-1920
The process of character building is necessarily a slow growth, but this development has been evident in our student body during the past year. There has been conscious effort on the part of a majority of our girls to be honorable in the little things of college life as well as the most serious ones. This realization of individual responsibility is one of the signal successes of our association year. It has opened the eyes of the members of the association to the necessity of supporting the Executive Committee. It has made them see how unfair and disloyal it is to give to these few girls the responsibility of guiding the conduct of a large number of girls and then to withdraw and not give them the support which is so essential to the best Student Government work. The student body are fast realizing that in pointing out to a fellow-student her mis- conduct they are in no sense interfering in her affairs, but aiding in developing stronger character.
The association has done other constructive work during the year. A representative committee, selected from the student body at large, has revised and rearranged the Hand-Book. The loyalty and good judgment of this committee and the support of the Faculty in this and other mat- ters has been most gratifying.
With a broader sense of our responsibility, a deeper realization of the worth and importance of our honor and a finer sense of our duty as self-governing members of an organization whose aim is not to punish, but to aid in developing character, let us work with might and main to prove ourselves worthy of the "high calling" which comes to each college girl.

Behold!
Philaretia
shining raiment dressed.
She stands: in silence bow. High honor sits upon her crest: A white flame blazes in her breast.
And stars upon her brow.
Look up and listen while she speaks.
In solemn tones and slow. She points to radiant mountain peaks. Where morn reveals her first grey streaks
To iveary souls below.
She calls us to her house oj light
Beneath her azure dome: ''Come, daughters, walk with me in white, Above the glooming realm oj night.
Build here your highland home.
Let virtue feel her vestal fire
Within each holy fane: Let fearless Truth with flaming ire Consume the breath of base desire,
And rule without a stain.
Lead on, 0 Philaretia fair!
Lead upward day by day; Thy violet banner in the air. Thy daughters all will highly dare —
Brave mother, lead the way.

To Mathematics
(Apologies to H. W. L.)
Tell me not , in mournful numbers
Math is but an empty dream. For the students flunked that slumbers.
Dr. Barney is not what she seems.
Math is hard. Math has mystery,
And the grade is not its goal: Functions and curves to infinity
Trouble many a Freshman's soul.
Lines of straightness all remind us Sophs can plot them if they try- Parabolas, hyperblas. ellipses, E'en cocked hats in great supply.
Ploltings that perhaps a Junior,
Failing through Calculus' solemn main.
A forlorn, differentiating scholar. Seeing, may integrate again.
E'en our Seniors in the battle
Give Math's history part of lite —
They're not like dumb driven cattle. They are heroines in the stri)e.
Let us, then, be up and figuring.
With a heart for any fate: Still calculating, still solving.
Ward off flunking e'er 'tis too late!
Mary Lynn Judd, '21.

Yea. though I be ever so prudent, she accuseth me of sitting on the ground ; for my cold, it is with me: her word and look they chastise me.

TO THE JUNIOR-SENIOR LIBRARY
When I consider how my life was spent Ere half my days at Meredith had flown,
I cannot understand where the time went Before this cure for troubles I had known.
When questions dreadful do beset my mind.
Thither for refuge and advice 1 fly. W hen to all arduous labor I am blind.
With conversational bent I then draw nigh.
Nor are my anticipations disappointed, For the occupants to gossip are inclined.
And though their tongues oft seem quite double jointed, The words are witty, rather than unkind.
No longer doubt there is a place so merry, 'Tis called the Junior-Senior Library.
My heart leaps up when I behold
A letter in my box.
So was it from the day I came,
So is it now while I remain.
So shall it be when I am old.
To counteract the knocks,
The letter brings joy in its train;
So I would hope my letters to peruse.
Hour after hour spent reading billet-doux.

(With Apologies to W. S. )
The quantity of spoon-bread is not strained. It cometh eggless from our Richard's hand To palates unappreciative; it is twice cursed; It curseth him that makes and her that lakes; 'Tis mealiest in the mealiest; it becomes The throned tyrant of our festal board ; Its crust betrays the force of fiery oven, The attribute to wood, and coal, and soot, Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of strife. The middle has escaped this fiery trial, 'Tis soggy in between the stiffened crusts, It is an attribute to water's self, And Richard's power doth then show the least In salty seasoned water. Therefore, girls, Though dislike be your plea, consider this. That in the course of dislike none of us Will have starvation end us. With this, then. Are we consoled.

Almost everywhere the advertisements of psalmists may be seen, and this preval- ence of character-reading by the hand has led us to wonder if the same be true of feet. Resolved to find out. we have carefully investigated and interpreted the feet and foot- wear of our numerous faculty, with these results:
These feet are those of a certain very dear old lady, before whom you and I have often stood trembling. If you will notice the firm position of said feet, you will be reminded of the firm NO with which she can refuse your requests. And if you will notice the flowing skirt. vou will be reminded of the flow of language which fol- lowed that No.
These are the feet of a well known biologist of my accpjaintance. The breadth of the toes indicates the breadth of his interests, which range from protozoa to protococcus. and include the number of Newish who are flunking. The position of the feet with relation to each other indicates his astonishing ability to come to the point.
Now, these are the feet of an eminent historian with whose presence Meredith has been honored this year. The upward trend of the toes indicates the upward trend of her lectures — and her voice. Obviously, she is de- scended from ex-Governor Bradford of Massachusetts, but unfortunately "V. M. I." may some day affect her name so that this fact will be less obvious.

You notice, first of all, the hanging shoestring on these feet, and you wonder what caused it. We would say that it was the result of intense concentration upon, and thorough preparation for, French lessons. Any mem- ber of any faculty who is as devoted to. her subject, and spends as much time upon it as this teacher, will some- times neglect to tie her shoestrings, too.
These are the feet of the most "bookish" person I know — she literally lives among books. The serious turn of mind which this association has given her is re- flected in her feet, which are just the opposite from child- ish, and could never suggest that youthful period when you wore Mary Janes.
And these are the very literary pedal extremities of the very literary part of our faculty. Though the shoes in themselves are the personification of neatness in per- sonal appearance, the twisted hosiery indicates a con- tempt for custom and a tendency to indulge individual whims, especially in refusing to eat things cooked in the ordinary manner and served in the usual dishes. The downward incline of the skirt bears witness to the pessimistic tendency of her thoughts when she contemplates her brilliant ( ? ) English students. In contrast to these she is a bright and shining light, in her own estimation, and that she thus highly regards herself you may gather from the anterior elevation of aforementioned skirt.

Greater Love Hath No Man Than This
"Granny, whar's yo' gwine ter?"
A very small, very kinky-headed, shiny-faced specimen of humanity of the very darkest ebony hue, raised itself slowly from beneath the folds of the "crazy" patch- work quilt which covered the old bed. For a full minute the little pickaninny gazed with large black eyes at the obvious preparations of the old mammy over by the fire- place. Then suddenly the impenetrable back of Mammy Liza turned and she spoke for the first time.
"Lawsy massy, honey, is yo' awake?" Going to the bed, she picked up the small. kinky-headed one and hugged her close to her ample bosom. As she did so, one noticed that the dangling feet were curiously twisted.
The patient, enduring look, so peculiar to her race, was stamped indellibly on the child's face. She looked like a tiny ape, or more nearly an age-old mummy. The only change in her expression caused by the caress was the blinking of her eyes. She repeated her question.
"Granny, whar's yo' gwine ter?"
"How yo' do gwan, chile! Yo' Granny is jes gwine up ter the big house. No suah, she ain't gwine ter leab her chile long. Yo' jes set heah while yo' Granny gib yo' yo' breakfust. Hurry up and et yo' 'lasses, Pearly."
Slowly the big, rolling eyes filled with tears, the little grimy hands which were sopping sorghum with the utmost seriousness dropped to her sides and Pearly sobbed out:
"Ain't yo' gwine ter tuck me wid yo' Granny?"
"Lawsy massy, chile! yo' ain't gwine ter cry, be ye? They's sick up ter the big house — Mis' Nancy and Mistah Richard and little Dick, and theys bean't nobody 'cept yo' Granny ter wait on 'em. Silvy, she doan know how ter wait on 'em. She can't do nothing 'cept cook. Yo' gran'daddy he don' gone up dar. All dem white folks don' gone back ter town. Scairt!" There was infinite scorn in Mammy Liza's tone. If there had been any possibility of flat, black noses turning up, hers would have gone right up in the air.
During Mammy Liza's explanation Pearly had resumed her sopping with the fortitude of a martyr. In the few short years of her life, the little cripple had learned patience — no, it had perhaps been transmitted by a dying mother from a race schooled ' for ages in patience, servitude, and in — love.
"Dar, honey, let yo' Granny wash yo' little rabbit paws. Jes' set heah on yo' pallet til Granny kin com' fotch yo' some dinner. \o' kin play wid yo' Granny's ole snuff-box."
[ P A Q E O X E II V N D R E D AND E I Ci H T Y - T H R E E ]
^i 1920
Mammy Liza placed the unprotesting little pickaninny upon a pallet made by folding the "crazy" quilt — ah! that quilt was a work, if not of art, at least of colors and memories — and it was drawn a safe distance from the open fire. There was no danger of Pearly getting off it alone. While piling Pearly's few playthings about her to amuse her, while alone, Mammy Liza was in a too indignant mood to talk. She was sixty-five years old, and never before had she heard of folks running from influ- enza. "Flues," she called it. Not only running, but leaving white folks — "the qual- ity, too" — sick and helpless and alone. Her own Mis' Nancy, at that! Mis' Nancy, who was as dear to Mammy Liza as her own dead daughter — Pearly's mother. And Mis' Nancy's little boy and her big. fine husband. Mistah Richard, both sick as Mi>" Nancy. Well, if every one else deserted, Uncle Toby and Mammy Liza could still take care of their own white folks.
Mammy Liza tied her old brown shawl around her head and gave Pearly a final pat and a hug.
"Doan yo' cry, honey chile, yo' Granny'll bring yo' sumpin fine from the big house. Heah am a hunk o' bread, honey, if youse am hungry 'fore I'se back."
As she closed the door of her little cabin behind her. Mammy Liza snorted.
"Scairt!" she exclaimed, scornfully.
At the "big house" Uncle Toby had already taken charge and was ordering Silvy, the cook, around in his own fashion. Uncle Toby himself had cooked for thirty years for "ole Mis'," and he knew what soup was. And he knew that sick folks needed it. And Uncle Toby was sure there were three very sick people in the "big house." He had come as soon as he had heard. Also, when he had fearfully used the telephone to call the doctor, the doctor had told him kindly and firmly that the epidemic was loo prevalent and too serious in town for him to leave for a twelve-mile trip out in the country. But he gave Uncle Toby directions, and Uncle Toby intended to follow them. When Mammy Liza arrived she found Uncle Toby at his post like a warrior of old, determined to conquer.
Little Uick was hardest to manage. The doctor had said he must remain in bed. But Dick was burning with fever and his little body ached. He wanted his mother badly. Uncle Toby left him to Mammy Liza's tender care. She massaged the tiny body until he was quiet. Fretfully he asked for Pearly — why didn't Mammy Liza bring her to see him? His hands wandering aimlessly over the covers chanced to hit a toy — a tin soldier he had played with.
"Take it to Pearly, Mammy," he said as he picked it up and held it towards her. And then he cried babyishly.
"Sing to me, Mammy, what you sing to Pearly."

floated down the hall and Mistah Richard and Mis' Nancy were soothed to sleep as well as little Dick. Seeing that Dick was asleep, Mammy's thoughts flew to Pearly, alone clown in the cabin. She slipped into the hall and called Uncle Toby.
"I'se gwine ter run down and gib Pearly somnn' to et," she told him. "I ain't gwine ter be much long — pay 'tendon ter Dick while I'se gone."
Mammy stopped by the kitchen for something to eat for her "chile." And then her tired old limbs walked faster and faster as she realized how long she had been away from Pearly. When she reached the cabin, she stopped for a moment to listen. Not a sound reached her, and she opened the door quietly. Pearly lay stretched out asleep with her face upwards. On her little greasy face were traces of big salty tears.
"Dar, now, honey, heah be yo' Granny. And heah am some chicken."
At the sound of her voice, the big eyes opened and the woolly head raised itself.
"Granny, I'se so cold and hongry," and the little voice broke in a cry of relief. She had sobbed herself to sleep and she was sniffling.
"Doan cry, baby chile. Des look at dis sojer what Master Dick don' sent yo'. You'se Mammy's own tar-baby and she's gwine ter feed yo' right now."
Pearly took the tin soldier hesitatingly in her hands. And then she clasped it to her bosom and showed a long row of white teeth in a broad smile.
For three days Pearly stayed alone, clay and night, except at meal times, and played with her tin soldier, a soldier whose weapons were germs instead of bullets. One late afternoon Mistah Richard, Mis' Nancy and Dick were so much better they sent Mammy Liza home to stay all night and get some rest. But when Mammy Liza came into the cabin, a sobbing, moaning sound caught her ear. It was a hot. throb- bing, wheezing little body that she snatched from the "crazy" quilt pallet. . . .
When Mammy Liza reached the "big house" for Uncle Toby, the doctor was there. He had come at last when he wasn't needed at the "big house," but down at the little
cabin, perhaps —
After a long examination, the doctor stood on the steps of the cabin. He shook his head slowly.
"Double pneumonia," he said. "I'm afraid it's too late." Walking slowly away
he bent his head as if in thought.

'Tis finished! oh, 'tis finished!
The great transaction's done. And now that we are through with it,
We hope our crown is won.
Though to its many faults
We would not have you blind. We hope thai as you. read it through
Your altitude will be kind.
For, oh, the sweat and blood
That's gone into the making! But still as we give it to you,
Our knees are seized with quaking.
But oh, our gentle reader,
We think our pains worth while. If you've enjoyed reading it.
Or the jokes have caused one smile.

Where Jell-O Helps
It was a wise writer in the Chicago Tribune who said : "A girl who has to hold in after life solemn communion tfith stewpans and gridirons had better learn in advance how to use them."
And a girl who can evolve from this sol- emn communion delectable things to eat and at the same time make the figures come out on the right side in the account book every month must be adjudged a treasure.
