Class Poem
We sat on the lawn at twilight.
As the bells were ringing their call,
And the moon rose over the city,
Behind the gray college wall.
We saw the bright lights gleaming
In the building far above
Like the golden memories teeming
Up in our hearts so full of love.
How often, oh, how often.
In the days that had gone by.
We had sat on that lawn at twilight
And gazed on that wall and sky!
How often, oh, how often
We had wished in our first year
That a kindly fate would bear us back
To our distant homes so dear!
For we were young and restless then
.\nd our li\es were full of care;
.■\nd the Soph's dark frowns upon us
Seemed more than we could bear.
But during the years that foll.iwec
Our star seemed lucky to be.
And guided us safely to the long-
Sought haven of dignity.
How often, oh, how often
We were called of haughty
The reason for which wa
Some privilege tinforc
.\nd, <.h. that long, long table
In the rear of the dining hall!
Surclv we could not help but talk
.\ little above them all.
^'et. sad we grew when first we heard
Of our unfortunate doom,
I"(ir we were now, through loss of one.
Thirteen — that number of gloom!
"But whv not change traditions old?"
We Seniors cried once more in hope;
"Thirteen shall caxise our fate to be
A class with hardships fit to cope."
And so we sat in the twilight
Thinking of days to come —
O! our dear old A'lma Mater,
Our happy college home.
And far in the hazy distance
On that lovely night in May,
We saw our future before us
As clear as the star's bright ray.
So there as we gathered in twilight
A vow to each made we"
Whate'er in the future might happen,
We'd be true to "C. I", f "
— LiNNiE Man-

Class History
FIRST YEAR
SECOND )'EAR
ON THAT seventh day of September,
When we arrived upon the campus,
Ushered to a room so vacant
Wliich had ne'er been filled since May.
Registration being over,
We began upon our duty.
Books and tablets, ink and pencils
Soon were all in our possession.
In our rooms we sat in silence :
Sat and sat and tried to study,
Still upon our being stealing
Came a little homesick feeling;
It was weird and so uncanny.
And we tried to overcome it.
Many were the things we thought of —
Of the Latin and Mathematics
That we all were soon to know.
With instruction that was given
By Miss Fisher and Miss Pegram:
They had classes and had quizzes —
Quizzes that we all did dread.
But they soon were to be over
And our work begun again.
Still our letters made us homesick.
Made us think of home and niuther
As we often sat and pondered.
And the upper-classmen hooted
At us for our queer behavior,
With ojr eyes as red as berries,
And our cheeks all flushed and swollen.
Would those Freshmen days be over?
Would we e'er get our diplomas?
For those long nine months we wondered
'Til our Freshman days were over —
But we had not our diplomas.
At the earliest signs of Autumn
We all started back to college.
Not as in our Freshmen year.
For we now could look and say:
"We were in your place one day."
Many faces we did see —
New and old, some sad, some gay:
But of our noble ten and five
Only eleven stood by our side.
Still was added to our class
Five, all from the Freshman Class:
Maud and Linnie, Winnie and May,
Also Myrtle, we were glad to say.
Then our work began in earnest :
Not on old work we had finished.
Not that mastered and forgotten.
But on new work we begun —
Math, and Chemistry battles were won.
Also "Letter Writing" and "Themes"
Seemed predominant in all our dreams.
Two sets of exams, had passed —
Passed, but they were not forgotten.
Never would be in our memory ;
For always will linger, linger
Apparitions of those questions.
Kven Bible came to haunt us.
All the Judges and the Kings
By us had to all be learned ;
Oh, the French, and oh, the German
That stood gazing at us nightly
As we studied, studied, studied.
Just preparing for our "finals!"
When at last they came upon us
After waiting, waiting, waiting.
We were glad to see them — over.
As we every one had passed.
37
THIRD YEAR
FOURTH \'EAR
We knew now just what was coming,
When our short three months had ended,
That we all must work and study
From September to the ending.
But our president, alas!
Came not back unto our class.
She was gone, but not forgotten:
And the presidency fell
Upon Julia's willing shoulders.
Great things now were soon to happen.
For wc all were introduced
To William Shakespeare, and to Spencer.
Shakespeare treated us more royal
By performing for us all
Flays that all of us had studied.
Studied and had all enjoyed.
Also a bazaar was to be given
By the two societies.
Which meant work, and also pleasure
From which quite a sum was measured.
Maud Powell, also, with her violin,
Left us all in poet's fancy.
Left us all — but we recovered.
For our Senior banquet followed.
To the Senior class was given
Little souvenir diplomas,
And each faculty member found
Carnations scattered all around.
Soon we all were called to witness
In Mrs. Robertson's private office.
All with fear and trembling came
With swimming heads and puzzled brains
But when we were said to be
Marshals during the Commencement
We were satisfied, delighted
With the happy prospects coming.
Oh. that long, long month of April
With its many hours of study
Seemed as it would ne'er be over.
Ne'er would ever come vacation.
Soon examinations came —
Exams, that puzzled all our brains;
But when they came to an end
We were all glad to begin
To place our books upon the shelf
And leave all for our vacation.
Soon again we leave the breezes.
Leave the welcome warmth of Summer,
Leave the memory of the moonlight
All behind us — past, forgotten.
We are now again in college :
On our fourth year's work have entered.
Often to look back and think of
Classes cut and not remembered ;
Then our privileges are given
Which we all are to enjoy.
But, alas! one of our number
Has to bid the class adieu.
How we, everyone, do miss her
As we all sit at the table
Looking at her chair so empty
Which cannot again be filled.
Soon Trinity Glee Club comes.
Gives a concert for our annual.
And they all help us along
With our great big undertaking.
But with all these lovel)' pastimes
We have everything to haunt us:
Science, Math., Astronom\-.
Latin and sweet Philosophy —
They all try so hard to kill us.
But through all we have survived.
And we looked for our vacation
Which all Senior Classes get.
Now we've won all of our battles.
All our themes and work are done.
And we've stood those dreaded " finals "-
" Finals" and we all have won.
Now we laugh as we remem'ber
All the troubles we did see.
And at last has come commencement
And we're happy, gay. and free.
But we hate to leave this college —
Hate to leave its campus green —
Hate to leave its grand old Chapel
Where so many times we've been.
But we wait now for our " slieejiskins"
That each one of us desire.
With the date "May. igi i "
And our names engraved thereby.
An MR WooDi-Ev.

Funeral Oration Over the Senior Books
Friends, schoolmates and seniors, Itud nic your ears.
The good that books do lives after them ; the evil is oft interred with
their backs. Therefore, we bury our books.
The noble Math, hath taught us to be subtile; if it were not so, it was a
grievous fault because that is why we have studied it.
Our beloved history was our friend, faithful and just, livini; in liope to the
very last of making us wise — but was disappointed.
Philosophy hath been the source of many w-retched hours; it hath failed to
make us deep; therefore we are unable to deeply grieve at bidding it farewell.
English hath made us able to contend; therefore we shall contend with any
who objects to burying him.
Science hath oft put our lives in jeoi)ardy ; but with grateful liearts for
what she hath taught us, we inter her.
Last, but not least, oil most loved Latin, do we speak of thee. We all do
mourn for thee ami ni)t without cause.
But we have cume tn bur\ budks. not tn praise them.
Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, some few to be chewed
and digested, but all of these are the kind to be buried.
Here are tears for our English, Math, and Science ; joy for our Latin ;
honor for our History, but death for all.
Winnie Bkiiton.

Senior Class Prophecy
"'Wl'II. it it ain't tlu- yoiiii!^' niistus: has you cciiiic hume tu stay, hdiiey?"'
"Why. Aunt Mai'sjarct !" 1 cried, springing out of the hammock and hasten-
ing to the side of my old nurse.
"Yes, Mammy. I have come home to stay, and how good it seems to see my
old Mammy again! I was just thinking of you."
"Aunt Margaret, do you reniemher how you used to turn a colTec cup and
tell me of the wonderful things that you saw in the grounds? Well, I have been
thinking of my classmates all the afternoon and wondering where fate has placed
diem, and I had just thought of going and asking you to read the coffee grounds
wlicn you appeared. Will you do it for mo?"
"I'.aws a-mas.sey. honey, 1 hasn't tu'ned a cup iu a spell, liut I'll do anything
to please you, missey."
'"Oh, thank you. Mammy!" 1 cried, "then let us go to the kitchen." I
led the way to the kitchen, brought out some coffee and watche<l old Mammy
make a cup and drink it ; then she sat down o])posite me and turned the cup so
as to see the grounds.
"Honey," she said, "the fust thing I ^ee i^ a great big crowd of folks
a-list'ning to a ladv a-singing. She's a mighty |)urty little lady, with light curly
hair ami — "
"< )]i, that's li'ntli. Mammy." I interrupted her: "I was confident she would
be a ]irinia doima — in fact, she was the only one iu the class who could sing
at all. What do you see next?"
"Well, here a great big building: looks like it niiglit lie ;i college, :uid on

"I'sycliology, Mammy," I cried, then I reiuenibered Mary's favorite verse:

and wondered .nt the inconsistency of fate,
"Tlie next picture. Mammy continued, turnin
with :i young lady a-feeding a brood of chicken<
turnips: guess it's her husband; and. honey, this ladv has
o' skirt, all gethered in tight at the bottom,"
"That's Annie," 1 explained, "for she couldn't possibU' have won
all her hobbles yet." Mammy paid no attention to ni\- interruption, but
tinned in a slow, droning voice:
"is a farmvard.
old man a-hoeing
n the iiuarest kind
"I ^i-f Iwn luclics." she said, "wild peer tn lie a-yniiig about lecturing and
a-handing i>ut little slips with some kinil of 'votes' writ' on them."
"Look good. Mammy." I cried, "isn't it 'X'otes for Women'?"
"I sho" believes you's right, honey; yes. yer is. and dese here two ladies am
both kinder tall and one of them has light hair and "tother one middling dark."
"Alice and Winnie. Mammy. I am not .surprised, for thev were alwavs

."Suffrage."
"Wal. honey, this next |iicture peers to l)e a lady laming folks how to
dance."
"( )h !" 1 cried.
Dancing was always Myrtle's forte.
Mammy turned the cup slowdy fnnu side U> side Ijefore speaking a.gain.
"I see a little cabin." she said, "'way off yonder in the mountains, with a
perty little black-headed lady a-setting in the door a-peeling apples, or niav lie

"Hiinl liv a c.ittiigo cliimm.v siu.iko.l

1 quoted hlitlu-ly: "Linnie was always fond uf house work. "What is
ne.xt. Mammy?"
"Praise tie land." ejaculated mamnn-. "1 can't make nothing outeii ob dis
next one: looks like she mought lie a-advcrtising some of dein things what
makes folks thin."
"Isn't there a name near it?" 1 asked.
"Yes." said Mammy. "There's I'.-a-t-t-I-e." She spelled the word, all the
while shaking her head doubtfully.
''I might have known it was Leone." I cried, "for ^he is the onlv nue in the
class who could possibly illustrate that ]iicture."
"The next." .said Mammy, turning the cii]i u\i and peering into its de].)tli
with fascinating eyes, "is — "
''What is — " i'lUt before I hail time to ask she cried out in amazement:
"Honey, fo de land's sake I If liit ain't ,i hiil\ with sunie monkevs. Peers
lak she be a tryin' to larn them to do tricks."
"No, Mammy." 1 cried, "she is trying to cultivate llieir mental faculties to
such a degree that they may be able to tell her uhjcli niic uf her ancestors thev
happen to be. It is so strange that Julia was the only nue in oui- class whii
believed in the theory of evolution."
"Laws, honey, do fo de land's sake." expostulated .M;miiiiy. "stup ]irattling

"Why. Mammy." I laughed, "you had ln'tter nut let I'ncle Muse hear \oii

"I.aw^s. Iionev. 1 'pects he's barn' em 'efme now; but who vou reckon this

"Oh. that's May. I recognize her iloniineering spirit."
But Mammy had already turned the cup and \va.s mtently studymg the
groimds. Before I had said the first word, she seemed doubtful as to the mean-
ing of what she saw. and turned the cup first on one side and then on the other.
Finally she exclaimed in horrified amazement;

"Laws, dis here lady sho' am a-foolin' dese here fellers a flirtin' and a-flut-

History of the Junior Class
XS the beginning we were created I'reshnien and tlie l'"re--linien were
ymiMi; and verdant.
And the Freshmen were scary because the Sophomores were so domi-
neeriiiL;. So the Freshmen went down town to l<eep out of the way of the Sophs.
r.iit the people of Greensboro would cast peculiar glances at the G. F.
Freshmen. The town boys would yell out "(]. F. I'"reshies" as tliey passed.
Then the Freshmen would wonder if green jiaint had been usei! on tlieir faces
instead of red.
And at dinner the .^o])homores laugheil at the I'^reshmen. Then the Fresh-
men wept bitterly and tlie l-'aculty said. "lie patient, my child, the green-ness
will wear off."
And Ruth Coltrane was our president.
September did come and the I'reshmen were no longer I'reshnien but
Sophomores. The Freshmen, like the lea\'es, had left off their coat of green
and had put on one of many colors.
The Sophomores had a class-meeting and l-'.rma Stevens wa^ made their
president.
Anil the Sophomores were stern and sagacious.
In that year we were taught h<iw to speak in I'rench and ( ierman and
our brilliance astonished the Faculty.
The heads of tlie Sophs enlarged to such a degree that the I''acultv reasoned
among themselves .saying, "Let us consult a specialist in order that x\ e niav
find out what has so rapidly developed the grey matter of the ."sophomore
class, for last year they were ignorant; this year thev are as wi^e a^ the
average jicrson."
And within a hun<h-eil days they returned to (1. 1". as junior--. ( )ften in the
afterncjous, the Juniors, with i.'ennie Grithn as their jjresident. did -e!l ice cream.
And it came to pass tliat on a certaui day the teacher of tlie .\iial\lic
Geometry L'lass met them and she said unto the lirst : "llow nian\ hasl tiion
worked :'"
.And the first girl answered lier, saying:
"Thou didst give us one page and I have gotten none."
.And likewise she said unto the sect)nd :
"llow many hast thou worked'" .\nil tlie second answered her:
"Thou gavest unto us fifteen problems and I have gotten none."
Then they all, with one consent, began to make excuses. One .said, "1
W( irked for two hours and accomplished not hing, therefore , I pray t bee , excuse me. ' '
.Another said. "I was invited to a feast and therefore I jiray thee, excuse me,"
.\nd then tlie teacher was wroth and said unto us:
"M.isl (hoii sluched Analytics this long and canst not work these" \ erilw
verily. I s:iy unto thee, unless thou gettest to work, thou sh:dt sureh' llnuk."
And in the course of time the Juniors gave a reception to the .Srniois and
Faculty. And the Juniors were glad in their hearts for they knew that souie
day they would be Seniors and would be entertained.
It came to pass that commencement came and the Juniors did marshal.
And they became dignified for they reasoned within themselves, saving: "We.
in the near future, will be ,Seniors. W'e. then, must be an exani|)le. tlierefore.
we must be dignified."
.\ow is past the l'"reslinian. Sophomore and Junior years, but the greatest
of these is the Junior. Fk.ma Sti;vi;ns, 'ij.

Prophecy of the Junior Class
i^w^Y slunil)cr> last night were Ijniken by strange and titfnl dreams. ( )ne
^JL^ (it these made a lasting impression on me, and while it is still fresh in
my memory I shall endeavor to impart it to \iiii, mv fellow elassmates.
( )f cinirse, you remember the very important faet that we are now Juniors,
and next year we will have all the honors and dignities which are always thrust
upon Seniors. My dream bears upon this grave and weighty matter. lie
patient, classmates ! Will you all please cease your everlasting chatter until I
can finish? Remember that all things come to those who wait, and if you will
exercise a sufficient degree of patience you shall surely receive all that is coming
to you.
My dream began with our reunion at dear old G. F. C, in the niontli of
September, 191 1. Of course, being Seniors, we had many responsibilities and
we were very busy managing things and getting the school all settled for a )ear
of hard work. Our |jresi(lent was, you may readily know, our leader. We
had right much difficulty in getting all the girls settled in their rooms, but we
finally adjusted them satisfactorily, and turned to find graver questions before us.
Mrs. Robertson rushed to our president the very first dav with a request to
go down the street. After due consideration she decided to allow her to go,
provided that she kept out of drug stores and moving picture shows.
Another member of the class was busily shopping when she was forced to
stop and chaperone Miss Fisher, Miss Pegrani, and Miss Dozier in the drug
store. Little interruptions of this sort were very annoying to us.
Miss Jones insisted on spending the night out of her room and being on the
halls so late that we were compelled to give her three black marks, and after
a long and tiresome class meeting we decided to campus her until Christmas.
Mr. Clarke, in his eagerness for advancement, gave the poor Juniors entirely
too much work and wc were obliged to attend to this. We allowed him to give
them only what they desired to do after that, which was not verv much, for
they were not nearly so studious as the great class of 191 2.
And, girls, another thing we did was to cut out the usual number of
recitals, which Mr. Kraft had heretofore insisted upon having. We allowed
him to have very few and we gave the poor imder classmen a longer reception
after each one.
We thought at first that Miss Stancil was going to give us a little trouble
over not keeping her room in perfect order, but we sunn had lier in tlic habit
and she bothered us no more.
Girls, we were all just having a good time ruling tilings, and the good
work was going on splendidly, but just as I started to tell Miss Mitchell, not
to give the girls any gymnastic exercises, the rising bell rung and I awoke,

Class of '13
CUK history of our class shoukl be rciuarkablc, for we consider ourselves
as the most liighly honored class in the college. Aside from the fact
that we will be the tirst class to graduate from Greensboro Female Col-
lege in a hicl<-bringing year of 'i ^, we will aNo be the first class to tinisli under
the new course. In fact, the |los^ibilities of our class are great.
'I'liat most important body, tlie class of '13. was organized in the feill of
ii)Oi). when we ninnbered nine Freshmen. Our record for the first rear was
liisc tliat of most Freshman classes, not marked by any special event.
When we came back in the fall of 1910 we were very highly elated over
being .Sophomores. Ijut. w'hen we had a class meeting and found that only five
of us were back, we were rather disa]>pointed. However, as soon as we began
work we forgot our sorrow at losing our ckissmates. and are n.iw looking for-
ward to lieing alloweil to put an .\.l!. alter our names in the vear '13.

History of the Freshman Class
iw^HAT seems to be the most important time of our lives is when we are
vly aljoi't to leave home for college. Oh. how large the name college sounds!
^^^ l!ut the greatness seems to diminish when the time really comes and we
have to say good-by to mother and all our friends. Some of us are also tempted
to return home before our journey is ended ; but no. we must not fail, and will
not.
Well, September 14. 1910. found fifteen humo-sick I'rcshmen in Greensboro
Female College. Kverybody else seemed to know everybody else and how
happy they were to greet their old friends ! We poor little Freshmen had
nothing to do but stand in the corner and look on. Although it was below our
dignity to suck our thumbs, we felt like it. W'e had heard all kinds of tales of
how the Sophomores would "haze." but tliey must have taken ])ity on our forlorn
looks, for nothing of the kind happened. .Sn the tirst night we managed to
get along very well.
Next morning it was announced at breakfast that classification would begin
at nine o'clock. \\'ith fear and trembling we marched from room to room
feeling each moment that the worst was yet to come. However, in a week our
little heads were settled down to hard work. Now in our dreams we fight
Aeneas with planes and solids. Then. too. it seems necessary to translate all
our English History from I'rench into German. Such is the path to knowledge !
One day a call meeting of the Freshman class was announced. We proudly
marched to the history room, for this was to be the beginning of a great epoch
in our lives. The first question was. "who shall be our president?" Each girl
felt that all fourteen of the others were capable of filling this place of honor,
but Lucy lielle Totten was unanimously elected. Then Jeannette Pearce was
elected vice-president and Ruby Elliott, secretary and treasurer. We chose
blue and white as our class color and the sweet-pea as our fiower.
Soon the Christmas holidays came and passed, and once again we were
back, but by no means with the same feeling we hail i>n entering, vet we
were the same .shy little lambs.
And then examinations? How diil we ever manage to survive tlnough
that week of torture? Well, we stuck our heads tnirether and succeeded in
hovering around the passing mark.
Commencement passed off with a flourisli. .\gain the F'reshmen had to
take a back seat, for, of course, the Seniors led tlie day. lint we were feeling
our size rather much, for then our names had been changed to Sophomores.
-At the end of four years, if we survive to realize it, we expect to have a
B.A. attached to our names. Truly we have to work dreadfully hard for a
degree whose letters are just the beginning of the aljihabet. X-Z would sound
more as if we had finished something.
Here's hoping that the class of 1914 may remain united and leave an
unexcelled record in Greensboro Female College.

"Oh, Billy, tliey have come, and they are moss this time."
Rose Lambert held out before her a large florist's box.
"What has come?" a^Ued Billy Barnes, a look of svirprise on his usually
composed face.
"Why, Bill, the flowers, from my unknown admirer. Don't you know that
today is my birthday?"
Then seeing the distressed look on his face she added more softly : "Yes.
Billy, I know that you remembered it. I got your flowers this morning and they
are just as sweet as can be. Thank you. so much."
"But look here." she went on, again becoming deeply absorbed in the
mystery of the flowers. "Look what is on the card this time:
" 'He that sweetest rose will find, must find love's prick and Rosalind.' "
"Who do you suppose it is, Billy?" and Rose asked him as if she expected
Billy to answer when she knew well he could do no such thing.
"If I suggest anyone whom I know, you would laugli at the idea and assure
me that I am the biggest goose in the world, that I haven't a particle of
sentiment and romance in my heart." .\nd Billy mockingly placed Iiis liand
over the guilty organ. "Whom shall I suggest this time? Your last siunmer's
catch at Buffalo?"
"Now, Billy, you know perfectly well tliat that man is like you in that
he never would think of anything romantic in his life. Why, I have thought
of this man, my unknown lover, so much that I know exactly wliat he will look
like, the kind of eyes he will have, a gentle expression and — "
"Spare me, spare me, Rose! You thrust the knife deeper in with each
phrase! Why, my last six years' efi'orts seem lost when you sum up tliis man's
virtues. I can never hope to reach it. .'\nd when I lose hope. Rose. I shall
stop." There was mockery in his first "Spare me," but not a trace of it when
he said, "when I lose hope. Rose."
"Billy, dear, forgive me. I didn't mean to hurt you, but you know I
have always said that there must be something romantic about my love affair,
that I will not marry a man who simply walks up and says, "I want you, I need
you. You must marry me ; come on !' " Then seeing the pained expression again
in her friend's face, "Pardon me, Billy, I really forgot. But you cannot know how
very much this little bit of the unusual has meant to me who have always been
surrounded bv the most practical people in world. Look at father. He is
grand, and the dearest fatlier any girl ever had. but you know, as well as I,
he would not know a romance if one should walk bodily into his office. Wliy.
he laughs heartily every year I show him tlie roses. .\nd you, I'.illy. don't
seem half so interested as you might."
105
"Interested! I am all interest I I can tell you the kind of flowers and the
verses in eacli basket ever since they lirst came. The first were 'American
I'.eauties,' and the card read simply 'For Rosalind.' Is that right? The second
were Marechal Xeil. and the verse. 'Go. ])retty rose. Go to my fair, i'nt tell her
all I fain would dare.' "
"(jo on. You are progressing beautifully I"
"Last year they were Cherokees. did you say ? and the verse was something
frcini Thomas Hood. Let's see. How did it read?
■J will not have the mad Clytie.
Whose head is turned by the sun;
The tulip is a courtly queen.
Whom therefore I will shun:
The cowslip is a courtly wench,
The violet is a nun —
But I will woo the dainty Rose,
The queen of e\'ery one'
"W hv. I'.illv llarnes. I had no idea you knew a line of poetry!"
"Shall I quote you something else or is that sufficient evidence to ynu that
I am becoming r-o-m-a-n-t-i-c?"
"Don't laugh at me, Billy. I can't help feeling as I do about it; but. I
tell you my curiosity increases with every birthday and I wonder for weeks
before, if the roses will come again."
"( )ne thing that worries me. Rose, i^ that mv rival is an ideal and not a
live man at all. If I had a man to cnntend with, that eats, drink^, ami
breathes like the rest of us poor mortals, I should feel more like kccjiing up
the combat."
"Hut, nh, r.illy, dim't yui suii])ose he really exists, that I shall meet him
sometime ?"
"Would ynu rather find him out and perhaps be woefully disappoiiUed
to know that he was just a jjlain every-day mortal, or would you rather have
him keep on being the fairv prince?"
Rose remained pensive for a few moments, tlien replied; "I uoulil nui
the risk of disajipointment in older to know wlm Ik- is. Win, I'.ilh. I w.iiM to
know more than anything else in the world."
Larnes quickly took the bo.x of flowers which Uose still belij in her arms.
and before she knew what he was about, reached his hand deep amony the
mossy heads and handed to her — his picture.
I"or a few moments she stood dazed. Then the realization came to her
that her long tuiknowii lover was reall\ her kni>wn lover — her own slow -plod-
ding, long-patient I'.illy. I-Iagerix he stepped toward her. With a submissive
sigh she put her JKinils in his. sayinir, "I'.illN. I might have known it'"

Hope — What are you doing here?
Desp.vir — 1 am here to perform my duty.
Hope — Well your duty does not lie here.
Desp.mr — Indeed, but this is my rightful place. This young lady has been
idling away the session and sadly neglecting her duties. I have endeavored to
talk with her several times about her neglect of her work, but she would not
listen to me and now I have at the last moment succeedeil in making her realize
the folly of her ways, but alas, too late ! too late !
Hope — Xo. no. it is not too late. There is surely some way we can help
her through this crisis. Let me see. .\h ! I have it! Mv little friend Pranks
is always ready to lend a helping hand in time of need. I'll see what he can
do. I Hope ',ea''cs his leand, the door bursts open aitd a fat. jolly little elf comes

Soph — Yes. 1 have been a suliject of yours the entire session, and that is
one reason I am now in the plight yon timl me. \'oii led mc into all kinds
of mischief when I should have been at my studies. \\ ell do 1 remember the
night you whispered in my ear to make Miss Jones a "pie bed." and tie Miss
Pegram's door so she coidd not get out, and again wlien you prompted me
to shriek out "Fire" the night Dr. Johnson was lecturing in the chapel, and
scare every one out of a year's growth and — Oh, I shall not attempt to tell
the many wicked things you have led me into; no. leave me. you can't help me
now. I never want to see you again.
Pranks — Ah, my dear Soph, what does a little matter like "exams" amount
to? Forget them! Come let's —

Pleasure — Ah. so my gay young Soph, has siunmoned me to her again.
I was beginning to fear she had tired of me for we used to be so constantly
together, and lately I have heard nothing wdiatever from lier. How is that,
my dear, have you forgotten the shows we attended together this year, the gay
automobile parties chaperoned by Miss Fisher, the trips down town and week
ends spent with other girls at their homes, not to mention chaling dish parties
in your room, snowballing, midnight feasts and numercius other times when
I have been your faitliful companion and helped you enjoy them?
Soph — Yes, I remember tliem very distinctly; but look at me now, here
I have spent an entire year up here and at the last 1 must "Hunk out" all because
I have been led on by you in the paths of plea.sure and have let my work go.
Oh, don't stay here to taunt me witli my failings and folly. You can't help
me now, so leave mc, I pray you. {Exit Pleasure).
Hope — (softly) My young friend tliere is one way that has worked some-
times when a student has been sorely pressed. I only suggest it in extreme
cases but yours seems to be sucli a one so I dare to mention it. {:ehispcrs)

Guessing — I suppose, judging from your looks and the pile of books before
you that you are about to stand an exam, and need my help — Well, "M' Aime"
you have certainly kept me busy this year and I am sorry to fail you in your
time of need, but I must tell you that daily recitations are the only places
where I can make good, and even then I sometimes slip up, but on exams.
I can do nothing at all. I lose my nerve at the critical point and have never
been known to carry a person safely tlirough who relies wholly on me. there-
fore, I advise you to see my colleague Cramming who makes a specialty of
exams, and, wlio, I am sure can put you through if any one can. (Exit
Guessing).
Desp.vtu — 1 should think you could see by now that all efforts will be
useless. I.,et this girl reap the reward of her folly and do not try to help lier
again. It is what she rightly deserves for being so negligent.
FfoPE — Wait, there is one more source where ])nssibly we can lind a way
out. I will do as Guessing suggested and summon Cramming. ( ll'arcs 'a'and
and Cramming enters hurriedly).
Soph. — Oh, Cramming can help me I am sure for he has proved faithful
to me many times before when I have been all but lost. Why, I had not thought
of him before! Here, come, for it is getting late and every second is precious
now.

Cr.miming — William the Conqueror came over in loCiCi and wliat did he
do?
Soph. — He came over from Xormandy, and fought in the P.attlc of Hast-
ings and won a crown. I know that; let's .see though, when did he come over;
Oh, 1666, I remember now, and what was it that happened in English literature
about that time? What was it? Oh. yes. William (.'axtnn lirouglit the printing
press over and translated an eihtion of the I'.iblc. (.raniniing you certainly are
an aid! What would I do without you? Now let's study Knglish awhile,
and see how that goes. We begin with Milton's life. He wrote "Paradise
Lost," "Comus," and "The Seven Deadly Sins." He was Latin secretary to
Cromwell and when Charles I was restored to the throne Milton went in exile
and there wrote Lycidas and several more of his most important works. Oh,
I have him "down pat;" now wlio comes next?
Despah; — Well. I mu--t leave you now for I have anotlier girl just around
the corner to visit, who is in the same fix — you will fail. I am sure, so there is
no need of my stayin" I^ere any longer, (/i.r//).

The Three Fates
J»^HREE fates went sailing o'er G. F. C.
\^ One lovely moonlight night.
Now what will the future of Seniors be,
Who've toiled with all their might.
The first fate cried: "They'll marry gold
And wield the sceptre of power;
All the pleasures the world can give
Will be the Seniors' dower."
The second fate cried: "Not gold, indeed.
But fame shall they achieve:
To heights sublime they all shall climb.
Nor none be left to grieve."
The third fate cried: "Both gold and fame
Are dear to hearts of youth:
But fairer than either have I to give:
A future of love and truth."

The Mystery of the Little Room.
Ox the- DUtskirts i<i a quiet and almu.st ileMrli.il little xillaye stands a large
tuii--.ti.ry white house whose windows tnmi all sides look out over a
slippint; lawn well shaded by large trees. .\'nx\ in the early light of
morning it stood dim and gray outlined against the western sky. In an upper
room a young girl awoke with a start, rubbe<l her eyes vaguely — in the shadowy
light she looked about the unfamiliar room in wonder and astonishmentr then
in swift recollection she smiled and closed her eyes again. "Xci rising bell this
morning, no chapel e.xercises, so 1 may sleep on. How delightful," she
murmured.
Wdien she opened her eyes again the birds were singing in the trees just
outside her window and the sunlight was flooding her room. She arose and
pulled back her curtains for a view of her surroundings. Beyond the sloping
lawn stretched a green meadow wdiere cows browsed and daLsie.s bloomed while
farther on in the distance stood a low line of hills draped in mistv clouds.
The girl threw back her head and took in a deep full breath of the morning
air, and her eyes sparkled with ilelight. It was evident that she was \ er\ well
pleased with the entire place.
There was a gentle knock on her door, followed by the entrance of a rather
stout lady with iron gray hair.
"Good morning, dear," she said, "}OU are up I see."
"Yes, Aunt, at last. I have overslept myself and ani afraid I have ke])t
you from breakfasting at your usual hour."
"Xo. dear, not at all and I am very glad you sle])t well for vou needed a
good rest after such a long tiresome trip." Then noticing that the girl had
been gazing at her surroundings. "How do you think you are going to like it
here, Klizabeth? Do you think you can manage to stav with me until vonr
Uncle's return?"
"Why, Aunt," replie<l Elizabeth, "I nmre than like it, I .im delighted and
after my strenuous college life I think I shall lind it an ide;d |)lace in which
to rest and dream."
"I liope so, dear, and now if ynu are read\ ue will go down tn breakfast."
.As soon as Mrs. Carter had learned that her husband would have to be
away .several weeks on a business trip, she sat down ami wrote to her favorite
114
niece, Elizabeth Murry. who was a Senior in college, asking her to come and
stay with her until her husband's return. Elizabeth was at that time busily
engaged in writing her {Graduating thesis. She had a good deal of hard work
ahead of her to be completed by commencement and .she knew by the time it
was accomplished she would need a rest, so the prospect of a visit to her Aunt
was very pleasant and now the morning after her arrival she looked about her
and found it even more pleasant than she had anticipated.
Later on in the day while Elizabeth and her Aunt sat on the broad front
porch, a small colored boy came down the side walk bringing the mail which
he delivered to Mrs. Carter.
"Oh! here is a letter from your L'nclc ( .eorge, b^lizaljeth. lie is a dear
man, George is." So saying she iiastily p. ilished her glasses and placed them
upon her nose.
"Dear! dear!" she exclaimed a nmnient later, "just listen to this." I met
an old acquaintance of mine this morning wliom 1 am sending down to you for
a summer Ijoarder and for a ])rotection. 'S'ou can give him the bed-room down
stairs, back of the library, and with him in the house 1 hope you will have no
cause to feel nervous and unprotected as yt)U always do when there is no man
aroimd. You will not have to exert yourself in the least to entertain him as
he wishes to be left entirely alone and undisturbed.
"Now, i.sn't that too provoking!" she exclaimed with a frown of irritation.
"Can't men do the most absurd things you ever heard of? Here 1 liad jdanned
a quiet, peaceful, restful time with you, and lo and behohl in comes a SKiniiicr
boarder. .An old acquaintance ! 1 dare say he is an old fogy, suffering with
imaginary gout. As for letting him alone he certainly need not be uneasy along
that line for 1 shall be more tlian glad to utterly avoid liim."
"It is too bad, .Aunt," said Elizabetli sympathetically. "Such an intrusion
is enough to disturb a body in spite of herself. But when is he to arrive?"
Mrs. Carter held up the letter and again ])eered tlirough her glasses at its
contents. "Why, tonight !" "Yes, tonight at nine o'clock, she said. 1 suppose
I had better go and tell .Aunt Sallie to have his room in readiness."
When she had gone Elizabeth looked dreamily out across the meadow and
on beyond to the purple hills. She, too, had hoped for a quiet, peaceful time
and she was sorry to hear of the expected guest but a certain amount of sym-
pathy went out to him for she knew when her Aunt disliked a person she seldom
failed to make it known to him. Elizabeth sincerely hoped lie would make a
good impression upon his arrival and win her .Aunt's favor.
Promptly at a quarter past nine that night, while sitting in an upper bed-
room they saw in the pale moonlight the dark outline of a man's figure as with
suit-case in hand he came briskly up the walk. "He hasn't a very severe case
of gout," thought Elizal)eth. She heard him step upon the porch and ring the
bell as Mrs. Carter hastily made her way down stairs. She noticed that her
.Aunt in her excitement had fi>rgotten her glasses. Presently she heard the
sound of a man's voice and caught the odor of a good cigar.
"Well after all a man's voice doesn't sound so bad and if he smokes good
cigars maybe we can endure him at any rate," she mused.
When her Aunt returned, Elizabeth did not have to ]ilv her witli questions
to find out about the new arrival.
(Tf all things, said Mrs. Carter. ]ianting from the exertion of climbing the
stairs, what do you suppose I did? Went oft' without my glasses! .And I
"5
couldn't half see but lie doesn't look as old as I expected. He isn't as old as
your L'ncle George at any rate — "Antl what do you think. Elizabeth ?" she asked
mysteriously. Why the first thing he .saw upon entering the room .was the
door that opens into that little back room. Aunt Sallie ha<l carelessly left it
open and he saw straight into the little room itself. And he wanted to know
at once if he could rent it. Said he would like to have the u.se of it as he
needed it. I let him have it but what in the world he wants with it I can't
imagine. But," she added, "if I don't find out I shall surpri.se myself. "
"Well, what is his name?" asked Elizabeth. "It's Rlr. Carey. I believe.
William Blount Carey. J^ut it is getting late. Elizabeth, we had better go to bed."
The next morning when they went down to breakfast tliey foimd to their
surprise that Mr. Carey had eaten his morning meal more than an hour before-
hand. Mrs. Carter peeped into his bed-room but it was empty. She thought
it a good opportunity to peep in the little back room also and on some slight
preten.se she boldly entered the bed-room and turned the knob of the door to
tlie little room, but to her dismay she found it locked and the key was gone.
She called in Elizabeth. What do you suppose it means?" she asked, "I'm sure
I don't know," answered Elizabeth.
Mrs. Carter shook the door but there was no chance of the lock ever giving
way. She peeped through the key-hole but could see nothing but the bare wall
on the opposite side.
"We had better go." advi>ed Elizabeth, he is apt to come in at any time. —
Yes, we had better go." so Mrs. Carter gathereil up her skirts and departed
in a state of unsatisfied curiosity.
The morning wore away into noon and still Mr. Carey was nowhere to be
seen. Mrs. Carter had i)romised herself to avoid him but she found herself
in search of him and wondered where in the world he could be. However it
was Elizabeth who discovered him. She was on her way to the kitchen where
by chance she glanced down the side passage which opened upon a very attrac-
tive little porch. The summer wind had blown the passage door open and
there upon the porch, by the side of a big colonial column sat the summer
boarder. To her surprise she ^aw at once that he w'as a young man. He sat
in a low chair and bent interestedly over a big volume which lay open upon his
knees while unconsciously he beat himself vigorously upon the top of his head
with a lead pencil. She had the back view of him and noticed that his neck w'as
badly in need of a .shave. Perhaps it was human magnetism, perhaps it was
telepathy that caused him to look quickly around and catch her eye. before she
had time to move. Iktt the next minute she was in the kitchen busilv engaged in
helping Aunt Sallie.
Mr. Carey stared again at his Imok. but saw mine <il its contents. By
Jove!" he exclaimed, "I wonder who that is I i didn't know there was anybody
here but the madam." Just before dinner, he went to his room and looked at
himself in the mirror. His face was covered with a dense beard which was
neither short nor long, just .stubby. "\'ou are a beastly looking creature." he
said to the reflection, but don't shave, you didn't come down here to lose any
time in shaving, you came here to work. \o\\ haven't got much more time left
in which to work either, and you need every minute of it. "
.•\t flinncr he was formally introduced to Miss Murry who fomid him very
polite but very reserved ami very un.'ittraclive looking. .She told her .\unt after-
ii6
wards she had never seen such a human being in her life. ''And yet Aunt did you
notice his eyes" she asked. He looks hke he might be intelhgent."
During the days that followed Mr. Carey spent most of the time on the
side porch with books piled about his chair and one invariably open upon his
lap. At times he locked liimsell up in the "Little Room" and spent hours in
there while -Mrs. Carter almost went beside herself with curiosity. It was a
very frequent occurrence for Airs. Carter and Elizabeth to come in late in the
afternoon and find him still sitting upon the porch always devoid of coat, collar
and cuffs and often with his sleeves rolled up to the elbow. The weather had
been fine and they had been taking their meals on a small table under a big
tree in the back yanl so thc.\- seldom saw him to speak to him.
Elizabeth had long a^i'o' decided that he was a law student and had told
Mrs. Carter so. "Yes, dear, I guess he is," said her Aunt, but what can he be
doing in the Little Room? I simply can't imagine. Why, the other day I saw
him take a Ijucket of water in there and when he comes out he always washes
his hands."
Elizabeth ccjulihi't imagine either, so tlie mystery remained un.solved.
One afternoon when the sun stood just above the treetops. William Carey
closed a huge book which liore tlie marks of many thumb prints and laid it
upon the fioor. lie lonkcd at it tlumghtfiilly and tiien an expression of relief
spread over his face.
"Well, I'll guarantee I've got you dnwii about as fine as anyone could, old
fellow. You've given me many a sleeijless night and I've wished a thousand
times Dr. Ciray had died before he had ever gotten you written." He picked
up several other books and laid them on top of the big one. "Day after to-
morrow this time I will be in the State Capitol," he went on, "and from now
until then I am going to enjoy myself." .\ few minutes later he strode down
the road which led through a'ricli piece of woodland to a big babbling brook.
When he reached the water's edge, to his great surprise and hers also, he came
suddenly upon Elizabeth. She was sitting upon a big moss-grown rock reading
a new book.
"Why. good evening .Mi^^ .Murrx." he -.aid pleasantly. "Please pardon me
for interrupting you."
''Good evening Mr.-er-e'arey." she saiil confusedly as she arose to go.
"Please don't let me run you away." he said intreatingly. "l'"or my sake
sit back down."
"Well 1 believe I will," she said, "this is such a nice jilace to rest in."
"Rest!" he said, "I'm awfully tired, may I rest, too?"
Elizabeth laughed. "Of course, if you wish. N'ou do Ic.ok tired; have you
been working very hard?" she asked.
"I should think I have, I've been at it just like a ditcli digger ever since
I came. But I am through now for a da_\- or two anywa\' and I am going to
spend to-morrow taking life easy." During their conversation he told her some-
thing of his life, and they discussed various subjects and topics. It must have
been very entertaining for it was quite supper time when Mrs. Carter saw them
strolling up the road together.
The next morning it was raining and they all took breakfast in the dining-
room. When Mr. Carey ajipeared he had shaved off his whiskers and his face
was clean and smooth, lie also had on his coat, collar, and cuffs, .\pparently
there was no detail about his toilet that had not been carefully attended to.
Ml---. e'artL-r >t;ircil at him in ainazcnu-nt ami uvcn ailniittc-d In I''.liza1iL-tli
later that she thought lie was hamlsonie.
That night the moon came up clear and full. The giant old elms swayed
gently in the night breeze and cast their long black shadows upon the ground.
The subtle odor of violets and cape jessamines permeated the atmosphere ; from
somewhere down in the meadow came the weird note of the whippoorwill.
mingled with the unmusical song of the frog.
Mr. Carey and l-21izabeth sat on the porch. The\ had been talking for
sometime and as the moon rose higher and higher in tlie heavens they realized
it was getting late.
"Miss Elizabeth," he said, "1 must go away to-mnrrow on a business trip
and e.xpect I shall be away for several days, and I want to a^k a favor nf you."
"\Vell," she said, "what is it?"
"1 want you to keep the kev to the Little Room for me. Don't let anxliodv
go in there. Keep it locked until 1 return — Will you do it!'" lie asked, anxiMUsh.
He drew the key from his pocket antl held it up in the moonlight.
"Yes," she said. "1 will," and he placed it in her hand. .A cloud passed
over the moon and from the nearby woodland came the hoot of an owl. It is
getting late," she said, "I must tell you good night."
The next morning when she came dow'n to breakfast, Mr. Carev hail gone.
.\11 day long Mrs. Carter searched in vain for the key to the Little Room. Wlien
slie failed to lind it she then tried to find .some other way of getting in.
"Elizabeth," .she said, "I wish you would try to help me solve the mysterw
1 never have seen such a girl; you don't seem interested in the least."
One afternoon when Mr. Care\- had been gone for nearly a week Elizabeth
strolled downstairs into the library. Her .Aunt was lying down with a head-
ache. The house was very still. The buzzing of the bees and the twitter of
the birds just outside the window were the only audible sounds. She sat ver\-
still thinking. She was thinking of the Little Room and wondering what it
contained. .She sauntered into the bed-room and gazed hard at the plain little
old-fashioned door that opened into the Little l?oom. Suddenly a great desire
to .see beyond that door seized her. .She went up close to it and looke<l through
the keyhole but saw only the bare wall. She drew the key out of her pocket
and looked at it, then at the ke\hi>le, then back at the kev. .A mouse scampered
across the fl(Jor and she jumped, dreadfullv startled. She looked uj) at the
door and stared at it horrihed. then ]ilacinLr llie key in her pocket, ran out of
the room.
Meanwhile, William Carey ami several of his college chums were in the
waiting room of the L'nion depot of the Capit.nl C'\t\ . There was a long \)\'t\\
of a train far down the tracks.
"There's my train, boys," said William. "I'm ju^t lio])ing we all parsed
that examination all right and came out at the big end of the liorn, .-mil I ju--!
believe we did.
"Yes. I'.ill, it's all to the good witli \(.n. I'm -ure," said one: "gond-bv old
boy — take care of yourself" said another, "write to us sometimes."
Five minutes later William was speeding over the .Southern at the rate
of a mile a minute. Late that same afternoon he again stepped brisklv up the
walk to the Carter home. He entered his be<l-room, his eves fastened ii|)on the
little old-fashioned door. He sat down his suit case ami examined it
tliornughly." "I just dnu't believe it h.'Ls bc-iu .ipcned. I'll win I'.nli's wager if
ii8
it hasn't. Ik- can't aftord to take a felkiu up over a jjirl like that, ami I'll prove
it to him."
".Aunt Sallie," he a.'^kcd later, where is everybody?"
"Well Mis' Carter, she's up stars and I saw ^iiss Lizbeth gwine off dat
a \va\'." '•he said, pointing down the road through the woodland. Aunt Sallie's
eyes twinkled as she saw Will Carey stride off in the same direction. About
supper time she saw them come back together, he tall and handsome, she fresh
and lovely, in a dress of light blue.
The ne.xt day Elizabeth gave him back the ke\-. He took it and went into
the Little Room. Presently he returned. "1 want to thank you for keejiing the
faith," he said, "you were weijrlied in the balance and not fuund wanting."
"Ves." she answered, "but you can't say I was weighed in the balance and
not found wanting to know." He laughed merrily.
"\\'hat /lofi' you got in there. Mr. Carey? Is it some kind of monster?"
"Yes," he said, "a great big grinning monster,"
During the days that followed he learned to care very much for Klizabeth
and at the end of the week he acknowledged to himself that he was actually
in love. In the meantime he received a letter which lifted a mountain load
from his shoulders and made his heart bound with joy. He found Elizabeth
in the library. "Let me tell you my good news." he said. "I must tell you first
because- -because — it's you I reckon. I have just received a letter telling me
that 1 successfully passed the medical examination before the State Hoard in
Raleigh last week. 1 am now a Jtoctor." Elizabeth's eyes shone with pleasure
and .she frankly extended her hand — ".\ccept my sincerest congratulations. Doc-
tor Carey," she said.
He took a seat on the sofa l)eside her. "1 want l^ Icll \i>u something else,
too," he said, in a low. earnest tone. "\n\\ must kncpw that 1 1
"Sh! here comes Amit," she said i|uickly. He arose as Mrs. Carter entered
the room. "Tonight, ladies, he said, addressing both, the Little Room will be
open, and if you will permit me I shall be glad to show you its contents."
After supper he w.'is busy for some time lighting up the Little Room and
arranging things in their respective places. He found Elizabeth and her Aunt
waiting in the library. .\s he turned the knob of the old-fashioned door of the
"Little Room" he paused. "Wm won't be frightened at anything you might see.
will you Mrs. Carter?" he aske<l. laughingly.
"Oh! no indeed I" she exclaimed reassuringly. The next moment he threw
npen tile door and there before tliem in the candle light standing erect against
the wall stood a skeleton, bleached and grinning hideouslv. Placed around the
room on boxes were skulls and bones of various descriptions.
Mrs. Carter gave a wild shriek and .sought refuge in the library where she
gave way to a storm of in<lignation. Klizabeth looked up and met the eyes of
Dr. Carey. They were shining with uncontrollable amusement and his mouth
w^as twitching convulsively. Elizabeth, too. became indignant.
"How gruesome!" she exclaimed, disgustedly, and gathering up her skirts,
followed her Aunt. Glancing back she saw him fall int" a nearljv chair and
give way to excessive laughter.
.A few minutes later he foinid her sitting on the sofa alone, her .\unt had
gone u]) stairs.
"1 wish \i>u would go away and take that hideous thing with you!" she
cried.
119
His dark eyes searched her face. "Do \( u?" lie asked, tensely, "do you?"
"Ves," she cried hy.sterically, I do."
■'I will," he said emphatically, and strode toward the door.
She looked up and saw the .skeleton grinning at her from the Little Room.
A shiver ran over lier. "Oh I Mister Dr. Carey don't leave nie she said
in a frightened, pleading voice. I didn't mean it, please don't."
A happy light .shone in his eyes and in an instant he was at her side, "I
won't," he said, "I never will, and don't be frio:htened he laughed, its made of
plaster of paris: they all are. I made them niy-elf." She lookeil at the skeleton
again and then back at Dr. Carey and in -pitc of herself broke into a merry
laugh.
