Foreword
From the choicest threads of student activity we have
vi'oven a fabric on the looms of thought, like the fabrics cre-
ated in the period which inspired the theme of our book.
Interwoven in this fabric, the 1929 Maid of Athens, are
the flaxen threads of friendship, durable and binding; the
silken threads of memory, lustrous and lasting. The gay
bits of color are the zephyr threads of humor that complete
the pattern.
As we, the staff weavers, review our creation, we detect
many flaws. Threads which would have enhanced the motif
of our work have been left out. Dreams changed to tangi-
ble pattern forms are ofttimes bereft of their beauty.
It is our hope, however, that this fabric may be treas-
ured in your chest of memory. In days yet unborn, may
you bring it out into the sunlight, and as you fondle it, may
it appear more refulgent in the mellow gleams of Time.

EDICATION
To those alumnae who
are now giving their unselfish
service for the cause of Christianity
at home and abroad do we wish to pay lov-
ing tribute in the dedication of this volume. May
we emulate their purposeful lives so that
we, too, may be worthy daughters of
the Alma Mater to which they
have brought honor.

If you have seen her garbed in one of the best
quality dark-blue suits from Kinzer & Fairbet-

next best achievtment after being matinee idol of

Studies seem to have been Bessie's hobby while

might well wish to have permanently printed by
their names as a reminder of their efforts. Athens
will miss such a hard-working and conscientious

kind.

How "Polly" can graduate in three years, take
such a prominent part in student activities, and
be a capable member of Rivers Academy Faculty

If you've ever seen Elizabeth still (except in

BASKET BALL
"Yea, team!" and out rushes the Athens Coyotes, with
Manager McGregor in the lead. "Yea, Lena! The great-
est confidence fills the heart of every side-liner when these
cagers swing into line.
During our last year of intercollegiate work, our team,
which for a time had been in a dormant state, received a
great impetus. Freshman McGregor, and in 1927-28 Ath-
ens came to the front in basketballdom. Lena will go
down with others in the sport annals of fame in basketball
at Athens College.
The high lights of this year's basket ball season were the
two games between the Phi Sigma and Sigma Delta Lit-
erary Societies — one game played on Thanksgiving Day,
the other played near the close of the season. Sigma Del-
tas walked off with both victories, but the last one was
gained by a close score of 19 to 15. Elizabeth Morelock was captain of Phi Sigmas in
this clash, and Lena McGregor led the Sigma Deltas as Captain.
During practices the Freshmen have shown more interest and pep than any other
class, always having a large representation out to play. Next year's Soph, team should
be a strong contender for the interclass title.
A Varsity team in basketball has been selected, but will not be announced until the
annual sports banquet in the spring.
^aid of Athens
BASEBALL
"Batter up!" The baseball season opens and finds many
Athenians falling into line for the rest of the year. As
in everything else she goes into, Manager Streater gets
every one interested in a whirlpool of bats, balls, fouls,
home runs, and sore throats from yelling.
Woman's College lost a good booster and Athens gained
one when Jot came to our campus. How could the Coyotes
have been spurred on to victory if Jot had not been lead-
ing the cheers on the side lines?
She is showing the same pep and interest in baseball,
and is a great promoter of the nation's leading sport at
Athens.
It is surprising to note how students have defeated the "spring fever" and have be-
come addicts to the Babe Ruth fad. We wonder whether the reason is to keep that
"willowy figure," or just a spring urge to "gambol on the green."
Classes bat and battle against each other, but the chief characteristic of the sport
remains — that is, to play for play's sake. The teams keep in mind, however, that every
point gained will help pile up their final score for the loving cup awarded at Commence-
ment to the class excelling in all sports.

HIKING
Dorothy is capable, dependable, and a booster of all
school activities. She has perseverance in every task.
Go ask "Dotty" Hagood; she can tell us something, for she
has an unusual range of ideas, and thinks and acts in new
manners every day. Now, Dotty, make five thousand miles
your goal, but let us give you just a little advice. Re-
member, this is a hike a la pes and no lifts along the way,
because — it just isn't the thing to do.
Hiking is a sport at Athens College which every student
has entered into whole-heartedly. Even if every one is not
talented in some special sport, noboby is so disabled that
she cannot walk. We doubt whether they have any shoo
soles left. The sidewalks and roads are showing wear and tear, which seems evidence
of the fact that they have been used by extensive hiking.
Girls have crawled out of bed at the "bust o' dawn" to go on sunrise hikes, and girls
who just can't get to breakfast on time have actually gone on early morning gypsy
hikes -and have taken their breakfasts with them. There have been numerous kinds of
hikes this year, but when a special one can't be thought of — why, we just hike! Whether
walking is crowded or not, we needs must hike.
&^H^^ ^aid of Athens i
TENNIS
The tennis courts fairly bristled with keen participa-
tion in the Spring Tournament. Manager David Wocdall,
for all her femininity, is living up to her hair cut, and is
putting the sport over like a man. David is a living ex-
ample of the fact that "rats" really accomplish what they
set out to do. She has taken an active part in all sports
since she hit the campus in September.
What better sport is there than tennis, anyway?
"None," shouts David, as she calls "forty love" to hei-
opponent on the court.
The three tine year-round courts on the back campus
have helped to make tennis one of the most popular sports
among the students. Every maid of Athens takes gjeat delight in showing the ten-
nis courts to visitors and relating the merits of the champions to C3me from Athens
College.
A singles tournament was started in March and ended on April 10. A loviug cup
was given to the winner of the tournament, and a Varsity letter was presented to the
winner and the runner-up.
maid of Athens -^^J^M
TRACK
Elizabeth is full of fun and interest in every phase of
athletics on the campus. She is just the girl for track
manager. She fleets about like quicksilver. Vigor, pep,
and zest are her chief characteristics, and she is always
ready for wholesome fun. She is democratic and sees
the rights of others before her owm.
Elizabeth's always doing something to let us know
all's right with the world. In the Academy she won an
enviable "rep" in basketball, which she has retained and
increased during her Freshman year.
"Puff! Puff!" Not the Pan-American, but the Athens
students training for track. Freshmen, Sophs, Juniors,
and even dignified Seniors, all sprinting to breakfast and to classes, preparing for the
first interclass track and field day.
Such events as hurdles, one-hundred-yard dash, bi'oad jump, basketball throw, base-
ball throw, relays, and novelty events were offered. From the class having the most
points and numerals a team is chosen, and from all the class teams a Varisty track
team is selected. Announcement of the Varsity team and awarding of college letters is
made at the annual sports banquet in the spring.
> ^aid of Athens
SWIMMING
Mildred is another one of the booster band for athletics
on the campus. She is bubbling over with enthusiasm antl
determination. When work interferes with pleasure, she
makes a delightful combination of the two, finding pleas-
ure in her work. She is endowed with the gift of coordi-
nation between mind and body, which results in a fine
athlete.
Mildred has the ability and initiative to impart her skill
in swimming to others. She is a believer in the motto,
"Sports for all at Athens."
Swimming is one of our major sports. For those who
hunger to try their skill in competition there are inter-
class and interorganization meets; for the girls who prefer not to attempt such ambi-
tious competition there are simple and advanced classes; and for those who "swim like
rocks" a beginners' class is offered.
We have a course in Red Cross Life Saving — Junior, Senior, and examiner's emblems
being given to those who pass the course tests. At the end of the year a Varsity team
is selected and awarded with college letters.
^aid of j^thens -r^(
HORSEBACK RIDING
After spending her Freshman year at Montevallo, Cath-
arine decided to continue her college career with us. We
are lucky to have such a sportswoman on our campus. As
leader of the riding enthusiasts, Manager Beard has been
very successful. Under her protective care there have
been few acts of the "Prince of Wails" vairety to happen.
Catharine's treatment of the horses merits her an hon-
orary membership in the most humane of all humane soci-
eties, whichever one that may be.
"Giddy-ap!" "Whoa!" — and other horsey expressions.
Be it truthfully said that our steeds are always willing tj
"giddy-ap," but the "whoa" part is always a matter for
cur speculation. No casualties have been reported this year, however, which certainly
speaks well for the riders or for kindly tendencies on the part of said beasts. Roads
and paths around Athens serve as beautiful bridle paths, especially in fall and spring.
There is an arrangement in the athletic point system which provides extra points for
hurdling and good riding form. We are developing riders who would make Buffalo Bill
hide his head in shame.

ATHENIAN BEAUTIES
In colonial days beauty was attributed only to those deli-
cate maidens who strove to keep prim and ornamental.
We present to you four Athenian beauties, chosen by a
popular vote of the student body. Theirs is the type of
beauty admired today, not because of its ornamentality, but
because it portrays the vivaciousness of youth.
May this volume keep these fair pictures as intact as an
old locket kept those pictures so dear to the hearts of colonial
lovers.

TWELVE FAVORITES
On samplers made by our grandmothers favorite verses
and designs were embroidered with the daintiest of stitches
and the choicest of threads.
We have made a sampler on which we have worked twelve
types of student personality. These favorites were selected
by a vote of the student body ; therefore ours is a true sam-
pler of Athens College.

A CONTINENTAL ODYSSEY
By Catharine Vaughan Beard, '31
[The Maid of Athens takes pleasure in publishing the third annvial prize short story, which received
the five-dollar award offered each year by Mr. Paul Cooke. Assistant Professor of Enprlish. It has become
a precedent for the prize story to appear in the Maid of Athens each year.]
TV PRIL 15, 1777. — Dear nie, what days these last two have been! Sad to some, alas!
y^ but to me 'wondrous; for did not I, Mary Amanthis Blair, serve my country?
Scarcely does it seem possible, but the captain himself said that I am a true
soldier and a patriot.
Two nights ago, when I climbed into bed and snuggled down under my pink com-
forter that Aunt Cynthia sent all the way from England last fall — I do love it so, for
the pink seems of our lovely wild rose — all was so tranquil. The cowbells tinkling
softly in the meadow behind the house and the murmuring sounds that came from the
Cimp of the Continentals down beyond the cow pasture seemed as a part of the night.
Pray, who would have thought of danger, even though I had seen, only the day before,
boxes carried into the old smokehouse in our backyard? Father called it "ammunition,"
and I saw with mine own eyes the horrid bullets and powder.
But yester morn when I awoke, la! I could scarce believe my senses, for the lawn
and veranda were covered with horses and Red Coats. They took no heed of my pretty
jonquils, just beginning to peep out into the sunny air, but trampled them mercilessly.
Of those who were not occupied in throwing up breatsworks across the road before the
house, some rummaged about the outer houses, and some killed the poor squawking
chickens, and others ran much and fell into the mud vainly trying to catch my pi-etty
guineas, for as a puffing, angry Red Coat pounced upon a guinea it would rise and fly
for many yards. I could not restrain my mirth, though frightened out of my wits.
Down beyond the pasture C3uld be seen our whig soldiers hastening to strengthen their
fortifications. The prospect was most exhilarating, and, naughty girl that I am, I could
not but feel some joy mixed in with fear at the thought of an impending battle — "im-
pending," I say, for la ! all was so peaceful and friendly that it was hard to conceive of
the horrors of war. Then, too, I had forgotten those boxes in the storehouse — those
boxe.s which held bullets on which that small army near us depended.
When I had hurriedly dressed, I slipped down the back stair, prepared to frighten
black Dinah in the kitchen; but my purpose was never accomplished, for just as I
reached the curve in the stairway I heard mother and father conversing in low, tense
t^nes on the steps below me. We could not see each other for the curve in the stairway,
but by the tone cf the voices I at once realized that that of which they spoke was not for
my ears; but though I slipped away as quickly as possible, I could not but hear my
father say: "Mary, we must get those boxes through — " I heard no more, but that
was enough to set mc thinking. At first I believed that "the boxes" must mean our
boxes of hr-usehcld goods, but that I dismissed, for only a few days ago the silver and
other valuables were safely buried in the woods. I thought and thought — how stupid
of me! And suddenly I know what he meant — the boxes in the smokehouse, of course!
"We must get them through" to our soldiers. I knew that we must, but how? I thought
about it during breakfast and after breakfast, but my wondrous plan did not come
until, looking out of my window while pondering, I saw that the cows had not been
driven to pasture and that the Red Coats were taking for themselves the rich, sweet
milk which we were wont to leave for our own soldiers. Our custom was to take all
the milk that we needed, drive the cows to pasture, and the men in the camp would
take the remainder.
It must not be thought that the great idea was mine own. No, the thought was not
mine. I am quite far advanced in our district school, so that I have been studying the
"Odyssey," and, though I find it sometimes entertaining, have often grumbled that it
would benefit me no more when it was done with. That, however, has been retracted;
for, strange to relate, it was the "Odyssey" that bethought me of my marvelous plot.
S?^fD?&^> ^aid of Athens
All (lay I thought and schemed. It seemed as if nijrht would never come. Indeed,
had .1 not had tasks to perform, truly methinks I could not have lived until the dark.
And I was sore afraid that father minht attempt some less safe manner of trans-
portation than I intended. At first I thoufrht to tell him of the way that I had planned,
but as it seemed quite impractical when put into words, I determined to carry out my
project alone. But no, not quite alone. I realized that I had not time to accomplish
my purpose without help; so I took as my confidant Jenny Eve, a negro girl of ours,
who, little more than my own fourteen years, has been raised about the house and has
been my companion in more than one mischievous prank. When I first disclosed my
plan to "her, Jenny showed little enthusiasm; but as the details were woven in, I saw her
begin to grin broadly; and when I told of how Ulysees had brought his men safely out
of Polyphemus' cave tied under the goats, she rolled on the ground with suppressed
mirth, and I knew that my point was won.
"Lawsy, Miss Anianthis," she gasped, "if you-all don't have some ideas; but s'pose
dey wuz to ketch us I"
"But they won't," I assured her, with greater confidence in my voice than in my
heart, for I had been asking myself that same question all day.
Late that clear moonlit night — it hardly seems possible that it was only last night — I
slipped down the back stairs and out into the clear air, with my arms full of narrow
strips of light huff calico torn from an old skirt, and joined Jenny, equipped with dark
home-spun hags, under the back-porch steps. Pickets had been posted all about the place,
and we could hear little sticks break under their feet as they marched up and down,
and at intervals we could hear them call to each other as they drew nearer together.
Fortunately, no one seemed stirring in the camp, and a man on picket duty just behind
the barn seemed to be the only imminent danger. It seemed as if everything fitted per-
fectly with our need until we reached the smokehouse door. I was stricken suddenly
quite dumb as I realized that we could not proceed. Jenny voiced my trouble almost
immediately when she whispered in a husky voice: "We haben't got de key I" For a
moment I was speechless; then my mind became clear. Wouldn't the key have been
nlaced where both father and the soldiers would have easy access to it? I expressed
this idea to Jenny, who instantly dropped to her knees and began to search under every
stone. But my thoughts being more lofty, I devoted my search to the crevices about
the top of the door. As I looke<l around to see what occupied my confederate, my eye
fell on a bluebird's nest in an old walnut tree near by. A woodpecker made the hole
in the wood last year, and the bluebirds built there. The nest had been torn out, and,
in truth, when I felt down in the decayed wood, I found the key.
It took but little time to enter the bullets' storage room; and though I feared that
surely some one would hear the loud, squeaking noises when the boxes were opened,
no one came. At first it took much determination to handle the bullets, but soon my
timidity disappeared, as they seemed quite harmless, and I was truly doing my share
of the work as we two filled the long, narrow bags and some pillowcases with the
precious stuff. It was fully one by the clock before all the little bags were filled. They
were able to contain all the powder and all but a few pounds of the leaden bullets. It
probably took as much as another hour to carry them to the barn, for I could carry but
one at a time to Jenny's two. I wondered whether the cows would be able to carry
them, but Jenny assured me that cows are very strong. Just as we carried the last of
the load into the barn, guards changed, and we were forced to remain most quiet as
they passed the open barn door.
Presently, however, quiet again prevailed ; and after Jenny had placed hay in the
stalls to keep the animals quiet, we began to tie the sacks under them. The horror
that passed over me on hearing a stealthy step outside the door was unspeakable, and
Jenny and I drew back into the shadows none too soon as one of the Red Coats entered.
His actions at first puzzled me, for instead of looking about for us, as we expected, he
fumbled with his hand along the wall until he found a quart cup hanging there, which
we sometimes used in milking. He then approached a temperamental old cow, Pansy,
making little soothing noises which would have seemed ridiculous had we been less
frightened. He finally reached the bossy and started milking operations; but milking,
^^^..A.
id of Athens S^.,cSWl
like knitting, is far more difficult than appearances warrant, and no warm drink I'e-
warded his labors. Presently Pansy, irritated beyond self-control, none too gently
placed her hind foot suddenly in the center of his stomach. With a smothered oath he
fell sprawled on the straw-covered barn floor. He jumped up, limping slightly, and
snatched a pitchfork from against the wall. La, I scarce could breathe; but as Pansy
turned her great brown eyes, for which she was named, upon him, he dropped the fork
and fled precipitately. After his departure, we both laughed hysterically; but it was
with difficulty that I was able to continue my task.
When we crept back to the house, having completed the night's work, about two hours
were remaining before dawn ; so I lay down on my bed — but not to sleep. Before me
lay the most difficult of problems. How I was to get the cattle to pasture before the
British discovered the burdens tied under them, I knew not. I felt that in some way I
must succeed, but I was torn between desire to discontinue my part in the matter and
that of helping my dear father, and, more than that, of aiding America — my country.
Just before daybreak I rose and went again downstairs, and, having roused Jenny
Eve from slumber, took buckets to the barn and with her aid milked several of the
cows. We had not time to milk more. In the dim light of early morning the secret
parcels were not noticeable, the buff strips securing them being much the color of the
cows themselves. Several of the British were busying themselves about the camp, and
they watched with interest as we carried bucket after bucket and set each well in sight.
Then as the first streaks of light appeared above the horizon, Jenny, with great bustle
and confusion, drove the herd, unchallenged, into pasturage, and we heard with i-elief
the bells tinkling down on the far side of the pasture. Presently the American soldiers
were softly calling to them. One of the pickets near us, looking hungrily at the cov-
ered milk bucket, remarked with loud laughter that "they probably wouldn't find much
milk for one morning;" and as we walked slowly away, Jenny tittered nervously:
"What's dem sojers gonna say when dey finds all dat water in dem pails?" But I did
not answer. I was wondering myself.
There was an angry uproar in the yard when our ruse was discovered ; but as they
thought that our only object was to send the Americans a good breakfast, some only
laughed good-naturedly; and though there was talk of arresting father, nothing was
done about it.
Some time later in the morning our American men attacked, but of the battle I know
little, for we hurried to the cellar, and during the sound of firing I fell asleep, greatly
tired by the sleepless night just passed. When I awoke, the battle had already been
won for America. The British, though making preparations for a skirmish, had been
surprised by an attack from, as they supposed, a weak foe; but they could not have been
as surprised as were our men when I told of how it was Jenny and I who had sent the
ammunition tied under the unsuspected cows.
And now comes the part so sweet that I can scarce believe its truth. When I had
finished telling all about last night, the captain bent and kissed my hand. "By your
leave," he said, "for the bravest little American in the colonies," and gave me a silver
buckle from his knee.

WANDERLUST
Leaves are falling,
Winds are calling,
Time has come to be on wings.
Morning's taunting.
Evening's haunting.
Time to search for unknown things.
Ever straying,
Never staying.
Shackled slave of wanderlust.
Always straining.
Ne'er attaining,
Stooping not to touch the dust.
Beauty wooing.
Color suing,
Only shadows at my side.
Wand'ring ever,
Tiring never,
I search, with silver wings spread wide.

YOUTH
rOUTH is magnetic. The world, fascinated, watches. Youth prepares
to go out into life; the world holds its breath. What is Youth going to
do with that life? E.xcited Youth — joyous Youth — expectant Youth — how
is it to know? What will it be? What is worth while?
And fi'om the world, with a^ons of experience, conies the answer: Only
those things are worth while which you can take with you into eternity.
Don't waste your life on useless things. It is too short. Listen to us ; we
know.
But what is useless? Worry is useless. What is done, is done; what
will be, will be. Worry is petty, weak, futile. It shows lack of faith in
God. Discontent is useless ; let it go. Where you are, you should be ; what
you have, you should have. Make the best of it. Leave off self-seeking.
If you gain power, money, fame, what will it profit you in the eternity that
is to come? What, after all, will it profit you now? Do fame, money,
power, then, bring happiness? Nay, if you wish something for yourself,
help another to gain it. Do not use others as stepping stones ; be a step-
ping stone for others. You are of no moment ; there have been too many
millions like you. But others, the great mass of others, the thousands who
are not you, have their significance. Seek for them and not for yourself.
Listen to us. Life has taught us, as it will teach you. Youth.
Leaving off these, what is there? O, there is the soul! There is Time,
with its countless possibilities. Remember that Time is always, but Today
is only once. Use your Time. There is work. Sorrow comes to you?
Work, and forget !
Guard your faith and your friends, for they will stay with you forever.
Remembering these things, keep your happiness. If you are not happy
today, you never will be; .so be happy now. Life was meant to be happy;
and when life is worth while, it is happy.
Listen to us ; we know.
June Waterfield, '29.

OUR ACADEMY
It should not be so very hard
For one who knows her true
To tell you of our Athens dear,
And sing her praise anew.
But that is not my mission;
I'm only^oing to tell
You of our dear Academy
That we all love so well.
We may be few in number;
Of that we will admit;
But there's much of pep and loyalty,
Which helps us out a bit.
So we'll boost for dear old Athens
Wherever we may roam,
And we'll always cherish those bright
days
When Athens was our home.
Helen Hardon.

WHO S WHO
Before seeing who's who in Rivers Academy, let us pause
to say a few words about them.
It has become a tradition in the Academy to choose six
types of students from the school each year, which appear
in the Maid of Athens. This choice is made in a "Who's
Who" election held by the entire student body.
It gives us pleasure to present to you the chosen ones of
Rivers Academy for 1929.

TWO POEMS
By Glyn Jenkins
OLD BELL
When earth was young thou were
A part of its foundation,
Steeped within its heart,
Born with creation,
Till man's power did your heart stir.
He gave you form and shaped
This rounding tower,
Made he from soil
This stanch molded bower,
And placed within a heart that waked.
New birth poured forth in melody,
Child of senseless earth.
Became a voice,
Rivers' moan, and dearth
Of earth's remorse,
Became a song, a lyre of ecstasy!
Full life you lived and done,
Your message is spent;
A bystander.
Gray and bent.
Yet an age grander,
For having toiled for men, and won.
DEDICATION
We come to gaze in silent awe —
Yea, reverence — at thy feet.
To catch the age-old message, to draw
Some lesson of truth from whisper
sweet.
Your silenced tongue has shaped the
tones,
For hearts passed on before;
Clear notes of joy, mellowed moans.
Have left your walls years many score.
Could you but speak your story long
Of human strife and shells,
Of battle cries, of bullet songs.
Of men and time and years.
Could not be found a head so wise.
So honored, or so famed;
We see you as a seer disguised.
And pay you honor, due and gained.
We give to you this ground to hold.
In dedication sincere,
To those before, whose shadows fold
Our honest efforts here.
When you a century more shall see,
And we are then the dust.
May those be what we wish to be.
Who pay you honor thus.

INTRODUCING
some of our
BEST FRIENDS
It is customary for collctje annuals to present tlieir advertisers
simply as i)arties to a purely commercial transaction. In the
following^ ]5ag:es The Maid of Athens is presenting its adver-
tisers as partners in this expression of our student life.
The constructive force.s of any community or section are its
religious, its educational, and its economic institutions. The
division oi this hook to which this page is introductory is onh- one
instance in which the business firms have joined hands with Athens
College in the interest of student life. In the Endowment Cam-
l)aign, as well as advertisers in our student ])uhlications, and in
many tangil)le expressions of loyalty. the\- have gone on record
as our l)est friends.
As our best friends and active partners, therefore, we wish to
present the following business firms for your consideration. We
believe \ciur confidence in them will not be misplaced.

pupils, for it means a summer of travel, study, rest, recreation.
— And to Those Graduating It Means
— A great liner . . . points its prow towards the open sea.
But with all its bulk and strength, this mountain of steel relies
upon one simple mechanism — its rudder.
KNOWLEDGE . . .
— Can be compared to a rudder. It enables those who possess
it to steer a straight course through the seas of joy and sorrow
toward an ultimate port — the end of a successful life.
You're Equipped for the Voyage
— College Days will shortly fade into the past. But you will feel their influence
throughout the years. The education you have acquired will assist you in keeping
upon the right course.
YOURE FORTUNATE . . .

^Performance
A high mark in one examina-
tion, or in one study, doesn't
make a successful school record.
That is achieved only by good
grades day after day in every
subject.
It's the same way with suc-
cessful stores. The value of the
service which a store ofl^ers you
is measured, not by the per-
formance of any one department,
or an occasional value feature:
hut by steady day-after-day per-
formance in every department.
That is the service this store
strives to give.

Two American Negro soldiers
were discussing musical instru-

"Yas," said one, "I'se gwine to
get me a eucaliptis."
"A what?" queried the other.
"A eucaliptis — dat's a musical
instrument, you fool."
"Go 'long niggah! You cain't
kid me — dat's one ob de books ob
de Bible, I know."

A HUNDRED YEARS AGO
A hundred years ago today
A wilderness was here.
A man with powder in his gun
Went forth to kill a deer.
But now the times have changed
somewhat,
Are on a different plan.
A dear with powder on her nose,
Goes forth to hunt a man.

BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD
Yes, I'd like to sit by the side of
the road and be a friend to man,
where the Chevvies po by with a
great big hiss, and the Fords with
their rattling pan. I'd need a
stretcher and Red Cross nurse, and
a doctor with ether can. Then I'd
sit in a tree by the side of the road
and be a friend to man.
— Helen M. Creel.
"I thought of you all day yester-
day."
"You did? How nice of you.
What were you doing?"
"I was at the zoo."
