FOREWORD 

S  EAST  AND  WE5T  mu^  some- 
where always  meet,  as  each  mu^ 
from  the  other  draw  mutually 
inspiration  and  renascence,  so 
you,  Seniors,  have  learned  from 
every  ade  and  nation;  so  may  you  link  together 
Pa^  and  Future  into  a  Wronger  Present.  To  you 
we  give  this  book  that  it  may  serve  not  only  in 
itself  as  a  link  between  your  ^udent  days  and  the 
new  life,  but  as  a  symbol,  as  the  record  of  your 
greater  linkage  of  greater  things. — .a  hi^ory  and  a 
prophecy. 


TME  QUEST  OF  LTGMT 

Poet  Nightingale 
In  the  shadows  of  the  Night 
Sings  his  wistful  tale. 

Up  the  templed  slope 

From  the  silver- sleeping  vale 

Pilgrims  dimly  grope. 

From  the  topmost  height 
Of  the  Holy  Mount  of  hope 
See  the  rising  light. 

— Katharine  See. 


Marg  Bafdwin 


(ALMA  MATER  SONG) 

Katharine  See  Lillian  Ireland 

Thou  wast  born  of  dreams,  Mary  Baldwin,  Mary  Baldwin, 

Woman's  dreams  of  love  and  true  desire, 
Conqueror  dreams  with  passion's  ardor  glowing 
Caught  from  Truth's  undying  pure  white  fire. 
Bom  to  live,  to  perish  never. 
To  inspire  to  high  endeavor, 
To  uphold  that  light  forever, 
Mary  Baldwin ! 

Thou  wast  built  of  dreams,  Mary  Baldwin,  Mary  Baldwin, 

Dreams  of  faith,  the  dreams  of  early  dawn. 
Thou  shalt  live  beyond  time's  farthest  limit ; 

Dreams  shall  last  when  walls  of  stone  arc  gone. 

Born  to  live,  to  perish  never. 

To  inspire  to  high  endeavor. 

To  uphold  that  light  forever, 

Mary  Baldwin !

SENIORS'  FAREWELL  TOAST 

It  is  to  Mary  Baldwin  that  wc  wuulrl  drink — to  its  white  columns  reaching  up  into  the 
hlue — as  our  aspirations  mount  into  the  dream  clouds  of  youth,  to  its  terraces  fresh  and 
green  as  our  memories  of  Mary  Haldwin  will  ever  be — to  its  chapel  encircled  with  the  golden 
halo  of  the  i)ast.  Mary  Baldwin  has  proffered  to  us  a  cup  overflowing  with  inspirations,  with 
knowledge,  with  reverence  for  things  past  and  hopes  for  the  future.  From  none  who  love 
Mary  lialdwin  has  this  cup  lieen  withheld.  Let  us  drink  to  the  school  with  the  white  columns 
of  aspiring  hope  that  will  ins|iire  tii  the  lic^t  because  founded  on  the  fragrant  green  of 
memories  of  a  school  that  mingles  past  with  future  ideals — '/'d  Mary  KaUtwin.

.MARTHA  ELIZABETH 
CAYHART 

STAUNTON,  VIKIWNIA 

Martha  might  well  he  called 
the  "Sunshine"  of  the  class,  for 
in  spite  of  her  long  assignments 
and  extra  work,  one  can  always 
hear  her  merry  laugh,  especial- 
ly in  the  library.  However,  her 
optimism  and  splendid  ability 
have  always  won  for  her  the 
envied  place  at  the  top  of  the 
list,  particularly  in  Latin,  ior 
she  is  master  of  even  the  i<l- 
ioms  used  "in  the  best  period  of 
the  language." 

Not  only  has  she  been  sought 
after  in  school,  but  also  in  out- 
side activities  she  is  called  to 
various  responsibilities  which 
only  serve  to  make  her  triends 
appreciate  her  more.  In  church 
work  she  has  quite  a  pcr.sonal 
interest,  as  well  as  altruistic 
mcjtives  I  We  are  sure  it  will 
l>rove  splendid  training  for  the 
future,  and  we  wish  for  her  the 
best  which  life  has  to  .give. 


KATHLEEN  COLEMAN 
GOODLOE 

STAUNTON,  VIRI.INIA 

Wc  kniiw  this  \C'ry  attractive 
girl  with  the  winning  manners 
as  "Kitty" — and  that  speaks 
vukimes.  Kitty  is  the  youngest 
memhcr  of  onr  class,  for  she 
(lid  not  join  us  until  this  year. 
A  Seminary  graduate  last  year, 
she  decided  to  return  to  Mary 
Baldwin  for  her  degree.  One 
of  litr  strong  points  is  being  on 
time  (?)  to  all  classes.  "Is 
Miss  (ioodloe  absent?"  "No, 
she's  coming."  .\nd  she  does 
come,  just  a  little  later!  We 
often  niarxel  that  she  manages 
to  do  so  many  things.  She  can 
coniliine  the  tasks  of  school- 
life  with  the  mcire  entertaining" 
things  outside  better  than  'most 
anybody  we  know,  and — well,  it 
is  perfectly  impossible  to  de- 
scribe a  girl  like  Kathleen  in 
such  a  shcjrt  space — everyone 
who  meets  her  succumbs  to  the 
charm  of  her  engaging  i)erson- 
alitv. 


MARTHA  MISSOURI 
MILLER 

CHRISTIANSnURr,,  VIRCINIA 

Again  we  haxe  strong  proof 
of  the  piTversity  of  fate,  and 
again  we  ask  like  Juliet,  ami 
with  as  little  expectation  of  be- 
ing answered,  "What's  in  a 
name?"  when  we  consider  how 
the  name  of  "Misery"  should 
have  been  applied  to  one  most 
ludicrously  unfitted  to  bear  it. 
(We  use  the  advcrli  indorsed- 
ly. )  For  how  could  a  girl  car- 
ry a  back-breaking  load  of 
wearisome,  worrisome  work 
and  still  retain  a  characteristic 
grin  and  a  di\ine  sense  of  hu- 
mor were  there  not  hidden 
somewhere  between  those  eye- 
glasses and  that  knot  of  blond 
hair  a  most  delightful  person- 
ality? Our  highest  tribute  is 
one  paid  to  our  heroine  by  a 
contemporary  after  a  lively  ses- 
sion together:  "That  Misery 
Miller  hasn't  a  f/rai)i  of  sense 
in  her  head  !"  (Though  this, 
like  all  formal  tributes,  must  be 
taken  with  a  pinch  of  salt.) 


ELIZABETH  SI'OTTS 
ROBERTS 

RICH  MDNII,  V1R(.1N1A 

Don't  expect  US,  hypothetical 
reader,  to  accompHsh  the  ini- 
IMissilile;  that  is,  don't  Mame  n.; 
if  we  tail  adccjuately  to  portray 
the  sifted,  the  inimitable,  the 
versatile  Liz ;  official  title,  Eliz- 
abeth Spotts  Roberts,  illustrious 
hostess  of  the  Muses,  notably 
in  the  dramatic  line,  and  leader 
of  the  Intclligen.fia,  authority 
on  heredity,  Hamilton,  and  \a- 
rious  other  topics— co-laborers 
in  English  XH  might  complete 
the  alliteration,  but  we  name  in- 
stead Russia.  The  present  plan 
of  the  jiresent  Liz  leans  toward 
the  last-mentioned  or  else  to 
lur  colony  founded  at  the  anti- 
podes of  the  Langdon-Davies 
Isle,  on   the  jirinciples  of  W'ig- 

l"or  fame  has  yet  another 
bold  on  our  already  distin- 
guished graduate;  she  has  by 
scientific  ex|ieriment  reduced 
the  necessity  of  study  to  the 
perusal  of  two  books  which 
may  be  discussed  in  any  class ! 
What  further  evidence  do  we 
need  to  pro\  e  that  Elizabeth 
Siiolts  Rciberts  will  some  day 
find  her  place  in  the  interna- 
tional hall  of   fame? 


MARGARET  ELIZABETH 
CASKIE  SCOTT 

BURKVILLE,  VIRGINIA 

Margaret,  alias  Polly,  is  a 
girl  you  turn  around  to  look  at 
and  turn  and  go  back  to  talk  to. 
The  gods  were  in  a  generous 
mood  when  they  endowed  her. 
In  her  are  combined  beauty  and 
sense — add  to  that  a  dash  of 
wit — what  more  could  be  de- 
sired? Mary  Baldwin  is  proud 
of  her  because  of  what  she  has 
added  to  the  school  life.  What 
would  the  Yellow  team  do 
without  Polly  as  forward : 
Where  were  all  the  joy  and 
mirtli  of  the  dances  without 
this  most  popular  partner ?  It 
the  girls  to  whom  poets  sing 
praises  are  not  hallucinations 
we  have  an  idea  they  are  some- 
thing like  Margaret.  Would 
that  we  possessed  that  spark  of 
poetic  genius,  then  we  could 
dwell  on  her  attractions  that 
do  not  lend  themselves  to 
prose. 


K ATHRYN  PACE  STUART 

CHICKASAW,  ALABAMA 

Ari-i\ing  at  M.  B.  C,  Page 
set  hersell"  to  the  task  of  be- 
coming one  of  the  leading  stu- 
dents in  her  classes.  She  has 
succeeded  in  mastering  the  sub- 
jects which  have  come  her  way. 
Soon  we  expect  to  hear  of 
some  leading  and  99.9%  effici- 
ent Latin  professor  being  this 
same  girl.  In  spite  of  all  this, 
she  is  not  a  book-worm,  and  we 
can  see  her  an}'  day  wending 
her  way  to  town,  and  if  we'd 
stop  at  .Anderson's  we'd  see 
her  eating  butter  scotch  pie  and 
ice-cream,  or  at  Holt's  buying 
two  yards  of  material  with 
which  to  make  a  dress.  Page 
is  always  wide-awake,  owing  to 
the  possession  cjf  a  Big  Ben, 
her  pride  and  joy.  The  com- 
binatiim  of  personality,  wit,  and 
a  desire  to  lend  a  helping  hand 
has  made  Page  one  of  the  girls 
of  whom  our  .Mma  Mater  can 
always  be  proud. 


ELLEN  WALLACE 

STUANTON,  VlR(;iNIA 

No,  that  tall,  dignified  ladj-  is 
not  a  member  of  the  faculty, 
but  only  our  own  Ellen,  on  her 
way  to  one  of  her  Latin  classes 
for,  excepting  one  thing,  Ellen 
loves  Latin  best.  Her  chief  am- 
bition is  to  teach  until — well, 
until  she  gets  tired  of  it.  Ellen 
always  manages  to  get  a  lot  of 
serious  work  done  and  then 
finds  time  to  walk  by  the  post- 
office  on  her  way  home. 

Ellen  the  fair,  Ellen  the  prim. 
For  rich  or  poor,  for  fat  or 

thin 
She  always  has  a  charming 

wink 
Which  would  make  even  a 

policeman  blink. 
Beware !  such  are  sure  to  bring 
Catastrophe  on  everything.

MARGARET 
NOTTINGHAM  WARD 

HELLIC  HAVEN,  VIRGINIA 

Margaret  is  "Peg  o'  My 
Heart"  to  everyone.  There  is 
something  innate  aliout  her  that 
compels  love  and  admiration. 
We  would  like  to  correct  the 
saying,  "Red  head — had  tem- 
per." There  is  nothing  more 
laughable  tlian  trying  to  im- 
agine Peggy  in  a  fury.  I'ljon 
occasions  she  manifests  right- 
eous indignation,  but  her  dispo- 
sition does  not  sufifer  from  it. 

Peggy  reminds  us  of  a  lovely 
white  lily  transplanted  from  a 
mediexal  garden.  It  is  our  be- 
lief that  this  bit  of  loxable  girl 
was  cast  in  a  mould  reminis- 
cent of  the  time  when  knights 
were  bold  and  ladies  fair.  For 
her  dignity  in  presiding  and  her 
sweet  freshness  arc  as  charm- 
ing as  if  she  had  been  Lady 
Margaret  with  llowing  sleexes 
and  a  pearl  cap  on  her  auburn 
hair.  May  she  always  preserxe 
those  unique  (lualities  that 
make  her  different  and  a  shade 
(if  (dd  traditions. 


NANCY   BELLE  VV ATKINS 

CUEWE,  VIH(,I\IA 

Uiil  you  c\cr  sci.'  Pierrette, 
a  wistful,  winsome  Fierrettte 
peeping  with  a  pert  grimace 
through  the  morning  glory 
vines?  It  might  ha\  e  been 
Nancy  in  one  of  her  Pierrette 
moments.  Did  you  ever  see  a 
little  girl  with  yellow  curls  and 
a  shamefaced  look  on  her  dirty 
face  caught  stealing  cookies? 
The  name  of  Nancy  just  tastes 
of  hot  ginger  cookies  (pcrhajis 
it's  some  such  suliconscious 
trait  that  makes  her  such  a 
sympathetic  store-keeper).  But 
Nancy  is  not  the  only  person 
concerned,  remember.  There  is 
Miss  Watkins  with  the  correct, 
or  at  least  intelligent,  answer 
ready  in  class.  There  is  Wat- 
kins  of  basketball,  in  the  gym. 
There  is  Nancy  of  evening 
dress,  and  Nancy  of  college 
gown.  .And  there  is  the  Nancy 
of  all,  who  is  best  of  all,  for 
this  is  the  Nancy  of  all  our 
hearts. 


^rARGUERITE  GERTRUDE 
WELLER 

STAUNTON,  VIRI.INIA 

Lest  you  lie  a  little  awed, 
conventionally  gentle  reader,  l)y 
the  scholastic-looking  Senior 
pictured  at  the  top,  note  the 
smile  of  the  little  lady  who  ap- 
pears below,  and  remcml)cr 
that  the  Marguerite  we  know  is 
merely  the  same  little  girl 
grown  older  and  e\  en  more  at- 
tractive. For  all  of  us  who 
know  her  must  admit  the  at- 
tractiveness of  her  Madonna 
face,  her  gentle  manner,  and 
her  intelligent  and  optimistic 
iiutlook.  Marguerite  lives 
"down  the  pike"  and  hra\cs 
snowstorms  to  meet  her  class- 
es. .Might  we  add  that  her  in- 
terests also  lie  "down  the  pike" 
— perhaps  so  far  as  Winches- 
ter?  The  little  girl  in  the  pic- 
ture looks  as  if  she  might  have 
been  picking  a  handful  of  her 
namesake  flower ;  can't  we  im- 
agine her  older  edition  pulling 
the  petals  too?  For  her  iirst 
n;imc  rhymes  very  well  with 
tlir  adjective  "sweet."

"From  fmmi^rranf  fo  Tnvenfor" 

(CLASS  HISTORY) 

allllllimilllUflltlUm^T  is  with  great  hesitancy  that  we  assume  the  task  of  giving  to 

2  ~   the  world  a  history  of  our  class — to  treat  of  those  members  who 

~  by  future  historians  probably  greater  than  ourselves  will  be  dealt 
Z  with  as  becomes  their  rank  and  genius.  However,  let  us  turn 
—  introspecting  minds  to  the  contemplation  of  the  past  four  years, 
jj  Even  in  retrospect  our  Freshman  year  is  not  one  to  be  envied. 
1^  Rather  it  is  one  that  we  omit  even  when  prone  to  idealize  the 
2  past.  It  is  a  subject  that  is  taboo — memories  of  which  are  sup- 
2  pressed  into  our  inner  consciousness.  But  alas,  when  we  suc- 
^  cumb  to  the  arms  of  Somnus  these  humiliating  memories  creep 
j|<J  past  the  little  censor  into  our  minds — and  then  we  dream !— of 
rats,  rats,  rats,  being  scourged  throughout  every  corner  of  Mary 
Baldwin.  The  upper  classmen  in  vain  searched  for  a  pied  piper 
to  rid  them  of  these  pests.  So  the  rats  were  first  harassed — and 
then  were  endured  with  spiritual  fortitude.  Dreams  always  are 
jumpy— Suddenly  from  rats  we  were  transformed  into  superhuman  beings — called  Sopho- 
mores— having  twice  the  brain  power  and  thrice  the  modesty  of  ordinary  humans.  It  was 
such  a  relief  to  awaken  from  this  nightmare  to  the  realization  that  we  were  not  animals  or 
pests  after  all,  but  real  people — or  maybe  it  wasn't  a  dream  at  all — but  only  a  conclusive  proof 
of  evolution. 

From  Rat  to  Sophomore.  How  astounding!  However,  it  wouldn't  be  fair  to  nature  to 
leave  all  the  transforming  to  her,  so  we  organized  into  a  class.  The  following  officers  were 
elected  to  steer  us  through  our  pioneer  stage :  President,  Margaret  Ward ;  Vice-President, 
Marguerite  Rutherford ;  Secretary,  Martha  Gayhart ;  Treasurer,  Eleanor  Brownfield. 

This  was  a  period  of  finding  ourselves,  of  realizing  that  college  is  not  a  playground. 
Suffice  rt  to  say  that  evolution  was  still  at  work,  for  as  we  disbanded  temporarily  at  the  end 
of  the  year  our  minds  had  dwindled  to  the  regulation  size  and  our  modesty  adjusted  to  suit 
our  station. 

The  third  year  we  burst  forth  in  all  our  splendor  and  glory.  Behold  the  Juniors !  Nature 
had  contrived  to  dispense  with  the  obvious  ignorance  so  naively  displayed  in  our  Freshman 
year  and  with  the  insufferable  egotism  of  the  Sophomore  year.  In  their  stead  she  provided 
us  with  serious  thoughts,  with  ambitions,  and  ideals.  These  new  endowments  in  some  way 
equipped  us  to  take  part  in  the  literary,  religious,  and  athletic  activities  in  our  environment. 
.'Ks  Juniors  we  edited  The  Bluestocking  which  won  All- American  rating  by  the  Central  In- 
terscholastic  Press  Association  under  the  School  of  Journalism  in  the  University  of  Wiscon- 
sin. Nor  was  the  social  side  undeveloped.  What  pleasant  memories  of  the  teas — of  riding 
through  Buffalo  Gap  when  the  trees  were  decked  out  in  their  most  colorful  autumnal  foliage, 
of  the  picnic  feast  out  many  miles  from  Staunton,  of  that  impressive  and  cherished  event — 
the  Junior-Senior  banquet. 

The  perfection  of  our  Senior  year  has  been  marred  by  only  one  bitterness — the  traditional 
metamorphosis  that  accompanies  the  progress  from  Junior  to  Senior  failed  to  occur.  For  the 
first  time  nature  failed  us.  It  was  futile  to  flaunt  a  high  hat  air  even  if  we  were  the  intelli- 
gence of  the  school,  because  our  physical  could  not  cope  with  our  mental  progress.  .As  we 
have  lamented  Dame  Nature  adopted  an  economic  trend  of  mind  and  employed  the  laissez- 
faire  idea.  Otherwise  we're  absolutely  satisfied  with  ourselves — even  in  danger  of  degenerat- 
ing to  the  egotism  of  our  second  year. 

On  Thanksgiving  evening  for  various,  sundry,  and  pecuniary  reasons  we  impressed  the 
public  with  a  play — after  which  we  were  entertained  at  a  lovely  dinner.  Just  after  Thanks- 
giving we  introduced  the  Friday  afternoon  teas  into  the  Mary  Baldwin  social  program.  To  all 
appearances  we  were  humanitarians  reviving  under-nourished  students.  However,  there  was 
a  method  in  this  humanitarian  madness.  We  were  hoarding  money  to  pay  for  the  die  for  our 
Senior  Class  rings,  which  we  had  succeeded  in  having  adopted  as  the  first  standard  Marv- 
Baldwin  ring. 

The  hardships  of  our  last  year  fade  into  oblivion  in  the  contemplation  of  the  benefits 
receivedj  of  the  helpful  advice  given  by  our  teachers  and  friends,  and  the  deep  joy  that  comes 
from  the  consciousness  of  having  completed  four  years  in  preparation  for  the  great  school  of 
life  which  we  will  enter  when  our  dreams  of  graduation  have  materialized.  Our  dream  for 
the  future  classes  is  that  they  will  achieve  things  we  have  striven  for,  realize  the  standards 
we  have  sought  to  attain — and  may  we  add,  sometimes  think  of  us  lest  we  number  among  the 
ships  that  pass  in  the  night.  ,,

And  Mexf  -  -  -  ? 

Slowly  I  dropped  my  long  black  student  gown 

And  doffed  the  sacred  cap 

Then  I  opened  the  old  Venetian  chest. 

It  was  a  lovely  chest,  my  dear,  all  carved 

With  tales  of  how  the  Greek  and  Trojan  warred, 

And  there  were  laid  away  my  worn-out  dreams  of  life. 

The  first a  tiny  baby  dress 

With  feather  stitching  yellowed  now  with  age    .... 

Was  my  much  cherished  christening  robe. 

I  was  to  be  a  credit  to  the  family 

But  I  cried ! 

Did  you  see,  my  dear,  the  scalloped  pink  dress  ? 

I  wore  it  the  first  day  I  went  to  school. 

School  I  thought  was  just  a  place  to  eat 

Nice  lunches,  packed  in  bright  tin  boxes ! 

Poor  little  dress,  you  soon  were  disillusioned ! 

There  were  stiff,  uncomfortable  desks  you  had  to  sit  in. 

Sit  and  sit  and  sit  and  sit  in, 

'Till  your  crispness  was  all  wilted. 

I  was  confirmed  in  this  white  dress. 

My  dear,  though  I  knew  nothing  of  the  church 

Except  that  Mary  Russell  (she  was  my  closest  friend 

And  not  considered  one  bit  smarter) 

Was  joining  too.    Besides,  I  wanted  the  white  dress, 

And  'twas  awfully  nice  to  have  the  minister 

Talk  to  you  seriously  about  your  problems 

As  if  you  were  grown  up. 

But  afterwards  you  were  expected  to  always  sit 


I;  31  ■!.■.•»»■  •  vs'Vs 


Prim  and  straight  every  single  Sunday  in  the  family  pew 
I  had  not  thought  religion  was  just  that. 

Look the  first  dress  I  wore  a-dancing 

(I  was  just  sixteen,  romancing 

Everything  would  lie  as  lovel)-  as  the  color  of  its  rose  !) 

Even  now  I  can  remember  how  it  thrilled  me 

When  he  asked  me 

Where  I  lived,  and  noted  in  a  leather  book  my  words  ! 

For  weeks  I  sat  and  waited 

I  thought  he  meant  to  call ! 


(iently  I  fold  m_\'  somber  student  gown 

And  slowly  place  it  in  the  chest. 

Where  is  the  surpassing  sureness  I  thought 

Would  be  stored  in  your  folds? 

I've  discovered  there  is  nothing  you  certainly  know     .... 

Only  the  challenge  of  life  ! 

.So  I  place  }'ou,  too,  in  the  chest. 

r>ut  the  wind  (I  suppose  'twas  the  wind) 

Made  me  shudder  with  sudden  cold: 

What  dress  is  waiting  for  me 

In  the  rolie-room  of  the  F'uture  ? 

Perhaps  'twill  be  all  shimmering  with  radiant  silver  lights, 

1  almost  know  it  will  be  lovely 

Hut  I  wonder  just  what  stvle  .''    Silver,  sureh'    .... 
Listen,  dear,  how  I  am  raving, 
Always  silver  dresses  craving! 
Life  is  silver  just  in  spots. 

— Elizabeth  Spotts  Roberts.

A  strenuous  one  is  our  Junior  Class 

In  our  exercises  we  are  terribly  fast. 

Each  member  has  a  special  way, 

Her  daily  dozen,  to  do  each  day. 

The  "dummy"  works  our  Marguerite 

But  never  tires  her  voice  so  sweet. 

Hisey  chases  ads ;  when  tired  of  this  race 

She  rests  and  talks  to  Angel-Face. 

Tully  our  jester,  witty  and  bright 

Toils  to  keep  our  humor  just  right.

She  trains  herself  composing  rhyme. 

The  kodak  on  a  sunny  day 

Is  wielded  by  our  Elsie  Gray. 

Trotter  uses  all  her  sense 

To  cut  down  annual  expense. 

Edythe  wears  herself  away 

Collecting  day  pupils  for  the  play. 

Elizabeth  R  ,  hard-working  lass 

Will  take  many  honors  for  our  class.

With  money  and  change  always  to  spare.

For  in  decorating,  she  is  skilful  and  cunning.

She's  entered  a  life  of  work,  wear  and  worry.

Class  of  '27 


Age  fo  Youfh 

(For  the  Class  of  1927) 


Gay  Youth  came  running  down  the  street, 

All  joy  and  hope, 

Like  a  flame  let  loose  in  windy  air. 

And  when  that  he  had  passed  us  by. 

1  turned  to  look  at  Age,  who  walked  with  me ; 

And  lo !  he  was  transformed — 

A  tender,  wistful,  subtle  smile, 

And  eyes  that  gazed  and  strained  to  follow  that  bright  thing, 

Too  light  and  ([uick  for  us  to  keep  anear. 

Again  a  day  and  Youth  had  passed  us  by. 

A  passion  of  wild  sorrow  swept  him  on, 

He  tried  to  run  from  grief. 

Pain  was  so  strange,  so  new 

He  could  not  bear  that  one  should  even  l)ind  hi>  wumid. 

Again  I  looked  at  Age, 

Forsooth  so  calm,  so  cold  : 

Rut  lo !  a  sorrow  old  as  man, 

A  mystic  grief. 

And  arms  outstretched  in  comprehending  love. 

Ah.  children,  children  ! 

Being  old.  we  know. 

The  body  faileth  us. 

The  years  press  down, 

\\'e  cannot  go  as  in  the  days  of  yore. 

We  cannot  give  the  signs  ye  under.stand ; 

I)Ut  we  do  Icjve  ye. 

And  we  know  us  next  of  kin.

A  Hofe  From  a  Newcomer 

Mary  Baldwin  College, 

Staunton,  Virginia, 

April  1,  1926. 

Dere  Mamie : 

I  would  have  wrote  you  soonjr  hut  I  have  heen  to  Inisy  getting  educated.  The 
Freshman  Class  are  all  "little  hells"  and  there  ain't  none  of  'em  here  that's  done 
right  by  us.  We've  had  to  give  everybody  in  this  hole  school  a  party  and  pay  for 
them  and  us  too,  but  all  the  rest  of  'em  had  such  a  good  time  we  couldn't  hold  any 
hard  feelings  against  'em.  Our  latest  was  a  blow-out  for  the  Juniors,  and  it  made 
our  Sunday  school  suppers  back  home  look  sick.  The  girls  wore  dresses  without 
any  sleeves  (I  ain't  sure  there  mothers  knew  it)  and  the  tables  was  all  decorated 
in  our  class  colors,  Orange  and  Green.  All  the  other  classes  laughed  when  we 
picked  'em  out,  said  something  about  beeing  "very  appropriate."  The  orange  was 
all  right  because  several  of  the  girls  have  orange  dresses  and  sweaters,  and  maybe 
they  was  throwing  off  on  us  about  the  green.     I  ain't  sure. 

Some  girl  at  the  banquet  made  a  speech  about  our  four  points.  Exercise  is  a 
great  one  even  if  I  ain't  reduced.  Attendance  is  anotheren,  but  what  with  going 
away  week-ends  and  staying  in  the  Infirmary  when  we  have  a  test,  we  don't  keep 
up  so  well.  Scholarship  is  the  worst  one,  I've  been  making  D's  and  E's  most  of 
the  year,  which  ain  t  so  bad,  it  seems  to  me,  for  a  Freshman.  I  think  A's  and 
B's  are  what  we're  aiming  for,  but  I  ain't  sure.  The  most  important  is  Service, 
and  I  reckon  if  they  took  a  census  of  the  U.  S.  the  Freshman  at  M.  B.  C.  would  be 
listed  as  the  "Original  Servers."  There  is  some  body  in  this  class  that's  always 
"the  very  person"  for  everything  that  comes  along.  If  its  piano  playing  they  call 
on  Blanche  Martin.  My  piano  playing  don't  rate  as  well  here  as  it  did  in  Slab 
Fork.  Ruth  Stone  is  a  great  big  Freshie  and  she  keeps  her  muscle  strong  by  cut- 
ting cake.  I've  heard  she  "serves"  a  little  to  herself  on  the  side.  Mary  G.  Taylor 
makes  all  the  speeches  that  are  needed  and  Dorothy  Wiggintnn  is  a  fine  body 
guard  for  our  sponsor,  Miss  Harris. 

Miss  Harris  has  got  a  little  jay-bird  cousin  out  in  Kansas  that  sits  on  a  tele- 
phone pole  and  chews  gum.  She  uses  him  to  teach  us  Algebra  by — I  hojje  he 
comes  up  here  to  see  her  some  day — Algebra'd  be  easier  to  study. 

I'll  be  coming  home  Ijefore  long  and  tell  you  the  rest.   , 

Your  friend. 

Sue.

VIRGINIA  LENORE  BIVENS 
Ardmore,  Oklahoma 

GRADUATE  IN  PIANO 

Ah,  Virginia !  What  a  task  to  de- 
pict in  mere  words  the  quantity  and 
riuahty  of  this  lady's  accomplish- 
ments! In  the  presence  of  musical 
genius  we  have  always  been  abashed 
— so  it  is  in  writing  of  this  one. 

Bivens  is  always  able  to  entertain  ! 
If  you  arc  one  of  the  cultured,  her 
musical  performance  is  one  of  that 
classic  type  that  moves  the  spheres ! 
If  of  the  Philistines,  she  has  a  stock 
of  humor  and  a  flow  of  wit  that  has 
sufficed  to  melt  the  hearts  of  the 
staidest  faculty  members. 

We  hope  that  Virginia  will  rise  to 
fame  through  her  talents.  If  she 
is  able  to  overcome  a  "small-sized 
mountain"  that  lies  in  her  way,  she 
will  deserve  our  highest  praise  and 
the  best  possible  success.

"Love,   szveetiicss.   beauty,    from    Iter 
ferson  shine. 
So  stveet,  so  genlle.  and  so  refined  " 

And  that's  not  saying  half.  It 
would  take  pages  and  pages  to  tell  of 
the  many  merits  and  talents  of  Janet. 

She  is  the  girl  who  always  picks 
out  the  hardest  task  to  do,  and  com- 
pletes it  with  highest  honors,  ere  the 
rest  of  us  poor  mortals  have  begun. 

When  she  plays  the  piano  and  or- 
gan even  the  oldest  classics  sound  in- 
teresting. But  modern  jazz  is  her 
si)ecialty,  and  it  gives  you  a  thrill  to 
hear  her  play  it. 

In  the  field  of  art  Janet  is  quite  as 
unusual  and  carries  off  most  of  the 
prizes.  In  fact,  she  is  the  very  soul 
of  versatility. 

Added  to  this  is  an  attractive  ])cr- 
sonality  and  a  dreamy  outlook  on  life 
from  which  we  hope  she  will  ne\cr 
awaken.

"A  liurxc.  a  horse,  my  kiiigduin  for 
a  horse!" 

Thus  cries  Elizalieth  when  she  is 
tired  of  practising  piano  or  xocaliz- 
ing.  For  being  our  one  and  only  song 
bird,  she  is  kept  rather  busy  and  en- 
joys a  change  of  exercise;  and  a 
horse  furnishes  that  for  her. 

Elizabeth  is  dependable,  always 
there,  and  always  ready  to  help — al- 
ways cheerful.  The  way  to  Betsy's 
heart  is  through  her  horses  which,  ac- 
cording to  the  latest  census,  were  only 
nine.  Yes,  she  nas  plenty  of  room  in 
her  heart  for  other  biological  forms, 
notably  the  human  race ;  for  Betsy  is 
companionable  and  loyal.  Finally  she 
is  the  kind  of  a  girl  to  whom  we  can 
gixc  the  high  praise  of  "a  good  sport" 
and  the  kind  we  like  to  ha\c  for  a 
friend.

CRADUATK  IN  ART 

"Some  are  born  great,  some  achieve 
greatness,  and  some  have  greatness 
thrust  upon  them."  We  don't  know 
whether  Elise  obtained  this  title  by 
heredity  or  by  personal  achievement 
or  whether  it  was  tossed  to  her  by 
some  gracious  god.  But  the  fact  re- 
mains, she  is  a  great  artist.  No 
Bi.n-.SToCKiNc.  of  recent  years  has 
been  complete  without  her  character- 
istic talent  displayed  on  its  pages. 

Elise  is  quiet,  sincere,  and  straight- 
forward. She  has  ability  and  what- 
r\er  she  undertakes  she  does  well. 
How  we  would  do  without  her  is  in- 
deed hard  to  imagine.  So  depend- 
able, so  cheerful,  and  so  modest  of 
her  achievements!  Yet  what  a  sense 
of  humor.  Such  is  our  artistic 
friend,  whose  whole  well  rounded 
character  finds  expression  in  her  art.

Carolyn  is  a  girl  whom  every  one 
likes  because  of  her  sweet  disposition. 
She  is  full  of  the  determination  to 
complete  what  she  has  started  and  to 
do  it  the  best  she  can.  No  wonder 
she  is  so  versatile.  Our  efficient  Caro- 
lyn plays  the  piano  and  pipe  organ  in 
her  church  and  sings  because  she 
loves  to  sing.  .Although  she  takes 
part  in  many  activities,  she  has  al- 
ways time  to  lend  a  helping  hand. 
Her  optimistic  views  on  life  no  doubt 
come  from  her  philosophy :

liRADUATE  IN  ART 

The  purpose  of  this  article  is  to  de- 
pict the  magnificent  qualities  of  a 
noble  Senior.  Raving  about  her  would 
not  e.Nactly  do  her  justice,  you  have 
to  know  Heimbach. 

She  it  is  whose  most  dominant 
characteristic  is  opposed  to  anything 
but  the  utmost  frank  sincerity.  There- 
fore, leaving  out  any  superfluous  ad- 
jectives, we  extend  to  her  our  uncon- 
cealed admiration. 

Heimbach  does  not  consider  the 
-American  Rexolution  the  most  glori- 
ous war  ever  fought,  nor  .Allentown 
the  most  unique  and  worthwhile  city. 
In  other  words,  she  is  not  provincial. 
She  is  ali\  e  and  inquiring,  a  person 
well  read,  of  charming  manners,  an 
asset  to  society,  esjiecially  Mary  Bald- 
win, and  a  loyal  companion.

FRANKIE  BF.E  HONAKF.K

(.KA1IUATI-;  l\  VIOLIN 

Allow  mc  to  present  Miss  Frankie 
Honaker — the  essence  of  daintiness 
and  the  quintessence  of  petiteness.  In 
writing  of  her  it  is  absolutely  im- 
perative that  the  dictionary  be  at 
hand  to  refer  to  for  the  correct  forms 
of  the  superlatives.  She  reminds  us 
of  Titania,  the  Queen  of  the  Fairies, 
and  then  again  of  the  mischievous 
Puck  and  his  tantalizing  fun.  Her 
approach  is  generally  signified  by  the 
sound  of  a  prissy  little  step,  a  head 
tossed  up  in  the  clouds,  and  a  black- 
case,  almost  as  big  as  herself,  tucked 
under  her  arm.  For  the  most  charac- 
teristic part  of  Frankie  is  her  "fiddle" 
(she  refuses  to  call  it  by  any  other 
name).  One  with  such  talent  and 
ability  and  witli  a  "fiddle"  as  her 
cbaiii|iiiin    will   ne\  er   be    forgotten   liy

ill  gold,  blue  eyes  that  twinkle  nicr-

smile  for  everyone — that's  Mary 
Lange. 

I  know  it  is  proper  to  say  lovely 
things  about  our  worthy  Seniors,  hut 
this  is  not  mere  blarney  for  the  sake 
of  being  proper.  .And  can  she  draw? 
\  regular  artist.  Her  work  is  excel- 
lent, so  entirely  original.  But  though 
talented  and  endowed  with  natural 
gifts,  Mary  is  not  conceited.  To  show 
how  little  she  thinks  of  her  crowning 
glory  she  is  actually  thinking  of  bo'u- 
iiing  it.  Ye  ''ods !  that  such  a  thing 
should  happen.  Then  we  would  be 
fcjrccd  to  hunt  another  title  for  her

i;i(AI)UATK  IN  PIANO,  ORCAN 

West  Virginia  must  be  an  awfully 
nice  state,  for  it  seems  to  have  some 
awfully  nice  people  in  it,  as  we  ha\e 
already  found  out  from  the  sample 
sent  us  from  there. 

Anne  is  shy  and  modest  to  a  certain 
degree,  which,  by  the  way,  only 
makes  her  the  more  attractive.  A 
blush  is  very  becoming  to  her,  and 
evidently  she  is  aware  of  the  fact.  Be 
that  as  it  may — Anne  can  play  the 
piano  with  no  little  ease,  and  the  or- 
gan is  but  a  puppet  in  her  hands. 
The  Muse  which  endowed  this  little 
friend  was  certainly  generous  with 
her  gifts.  We  hope  she  w'ill  continue 
her  musical  studies  in  the  future.

.A  quiet,  sincere,  and  loyal  friend  is 
Elizabeth,  and  the  jiossessor  of  a 
sweet  and  charming  nature.  Enviable 
characteristics,  are  they  not  ?  Wc 
have  not  as  yet  mentioned  her  ar- 
tistic ability,  which  is  of  that  superior 
type  that  always  gets  you  somewhere. 

As  a  room-mate,  she  is  unexcelled  ! 
Enough  said  !  However,  we  must  adil 
that  Elizabeth  is  a  good  sport  at  any- 
thing and  a  good  student  in  every- 
thing. Pardon  me,  I  mean  a  good 
student  in  everything  with  any  sense 
t<i  it — which  of  course  excludes  ge- 
ometry. 

Elizabeth  would  like  to  study  com- 
mercial art  in  New  York  next  winter. 
Nothing  would  be  too  good  for  her, 
so  we  hope  she  gets  her  wish  granted. 
But  it  will  be  a  sad  loss  to  Mary 
Baldwin  when  she  leaves  us.

Perhaps  Mary  Baldwin  has  never

the  iniique  influence  which  Sarah  will 
undoubtedly  leave  behind  her. 

She  has  a  quiet  method  of  working: 
a  slight  air  of  detachment,  and  yet  is 
a  perfect  companion.  Her  deep-rooted 
sympathy,  her  slow,  drawding  voice, 
and  her  dreamy  attitude — all  of  these 
have  ])laced  Sarah  in  the  coveted  po-

First  in  fun,  first  in  symjiathy,  first

is  the  rightful  possessor  of  George's 
thus  modified  title.  Eager  as  a  child 
licaming  with  delight  over  a  pro- 
spective visit,  she  has  captivated  us 
line  and  all.  Clever  and  entertaining 
to  listen  to — (for  you  know  she  just 
must  talk) — you  arc  busy  watching 
her  eyes,  her  features  as  they  follow 
her  every  line  on  thought.  This  also 
applys  to  her  stage  declamations,  for 
"Expressing"  is  Ragan's  most  "fran- 
tic" accomplishment. 

Ragan  has  sympathy,  that  all-im- 
portant item  in  an  attractive  person- 
ality. Tn  fact  Nature  has  graciously 
endowed  her  with  an  abundance  of 
lioth  abstract  and  concrete  qualities 
so  that  she  is  well  equipped  as  an 
"excellent"  Senior.

EMILY  VIRGINIA  RAMSEY 
Front  Royal,  Virginia 

t;KADUATE  IN  EXPRESSION 

Emily  proves  the  adage  that  good 
things  come  in  small  packages.  She's 
little  of  stature,  but  massive  of  mind. 
When  Emily  begins  to  "Express"  (as 
Ragan  says)  why  the  rest  of  us  keep 
quiet  and  listen.  Such  poise  was  never 
equalled  by  Cicero  mounted  on  the 
rostrum. 

But  "Expressing"  is  not  all  that 
Emily  does.  She  is  tremendously  in- 
terested in  psychology.  At  present 
she  is  considering  a  course  at  John's 
Hopkins  for  further  study  in  that  in- 
teresting new  science.  Whether  she 
decides  to  resume  her  studies  or 
whether  she  chooses  the  more  roman- 
tic future — which  we  can  all  testify  is 
in  store  for  her — there  is  only  a  bril- 
liant career  awaiting  this  little  class- 
mate. 


ELSIE  .\1.\TH1LUA 
ROSENBERCiER 

Winchester,  Virginia 

CiRADUATE  IN  PI  ANO  AND  ORCiAN 

It  shouldn't  be  hard  to  write  about 
Elsie,  a  girl  with  so  many  splendid 
qualities;  her  striking  type  of  beauty, 
her  gift  of  music,  her  charm  of  per- 
sonality and  strength  of  purpose — all 
the  elements  that  go  to  the  making  up 
of  a  harmoniously  rounded  character. 
Yet  this,  paradoxically  enough,  is 
where  the  difficulty  rises;  for  a  well 
rounded  character,  like  a  sphere,  is  a 
difficult  and  elusive  thing  to  grasp. 

"Where  the  stream  runneth  smoothest 
The  water  is  deepest." 

She  reminds  us  of  her  own  'organ 
music,  with  massive  depths  and  ec- 
static heights,  yet  all  under  perfect 
control ;  the  effect  of  neither  key  nor 
score,  I)Ut  of  an  intangible  something 
in  the  musician.  .And  surely  it  is  not 
merely  association  that  makes  us  feel 
the  presence  of  fine  harmonics  when 
we  think  of  Elsie.

\\  ho  at  Mary  Baldwin  needs  to  be 
introduced  to  Carroll?  Surely  we 
Seniors  would  never  have  gotten 
along  without  her.  Carroll  is  so 
good-natured  (she  would  ha\e  to  be 
considering  who  she  rooms  with). 
Her  cheerful  countenance  and  happy 
ilisposition  have  succeeded  in  rescuing 
us  Seniors  from  many  threatened 
cases  of  blues.  Though  quiet  and  un- 
assuming, we  can  always  depend  on 
Carroll.  She  is  the  kind  that  always 
understands  and  is  ready  to  help. 

Who  in  school  doesn't  like  to  hear 
Carroll  recite?  Why,  with  a  few 
words  she  can  transport  us  into  a  gay 
fairyland  of  elves  and  fairies.  The 
realization  of  her  heart's  desire  is  the 
wish  we  make  for  one  of  our  most 
lo\ed,  most  admired,  and  most  .gifted 
Seniors.

.\rt  just  expresses  Byrd,  down  to  the 
tips  of  her  sensitive  fingers.  She 
moves  among  us,  quaint  and  whimsi- 
cal, with  the  face  of  some  old  minia- 
ture. ,A  more  good-natured  indivi- 
dual could  never  he  found — for  who 
can  imagine  Byrd  not  in  the  best  of 
humor?  .A  thoughtful  person  and 
true  friend  is  this  warm-hearted  lass. 
She  works  with  enthusiasm  whether 
designing  costumes  for  "The  Music 
llox  Revue"  or  laboring  o\cr  an  in- 
tricate ])oster  for  Y.  W.  The  very 
soul  of  sympathy  and  unselfishness, 
she  has  won  a  warm  place  in  the 
hearts  of  us  all.

Perhaiis  that  will  be  a  fitting  en-

Cfass  Song- 

Tune — "Sweetheart  of  Sigma  Chi" 

Our  school  days  have  ended,  as  they  will  do, 

And  our  parting  hour  draws  nigh. 
We  sorrow  at  leaving  comrades  true — 

The  pals  of  days  gone  by. 
The  world  will  need  the  best  we  can  do, 

So  we  must  not  delay  longer  here. 
Rut  each  must  say,  though  it  cost  a  tear. 

Farewell,  Classmates,  farewell. 

Farewell  to  the  days  that  are  past  and  gone. 

The  dearest  days  I  know, 
Each  memory  of  our  school  days  here 
Shall  live  on  forcvcrmore. 
The  voyage  of  life  has  just  begun. 

Our  fortunes  we  must  find. 
So  with  tear-dimmed  eyes  we'll  say  our  goodbye 

To  the  friends  that  we  leave  behind. 


As  we  stand  on  the  lirink  of  the  ri\er  o 

And  gaze  on  an  unknown  sea, 
We  gather  courage  to  buffet  the  tide 

For  our  craft  well-builded  be. 
As  the  years  drift  on  and  we  try  to  find 

Every  joy  that  a  life  may  hold, 
We'll  turn  the  pages  of  memory 

To  our  school  days  of  old.

''The  Sforg  of  a  Shorf  Life'' 

STRANGER  walking  within  our  walls  calls  to  SL-e  the  Senior 
:lass — of  course  the  College  Seniors  leap  forward  with  a  bound, 
the  Seminary  Specials  are  the  Seniors  too,  so  up  they  bob, 
then  with  all  the  blase  airs  of  the  real  thing  we  rush  to 
the  front,  only  to  he  told — "Go  back,  you're  fourth  year 
prep  students!"  So  there,  we  are  just  prep  school  students. 
One  afternoon  before  the  Christmas  holidays  we  met  with 
Miss  Higgins  in  the  girls'  parlor  and  it  was  then  that  we 
came  into  existence — not  much,  I  grant  you — but  ju.st  us!  We  ])estow-ed  the 
honor  of  being  the  tirst  president  of  the  class  upon  Lois  Foote,  and  it  has  been 
with  great  dignity  that  she  has  held  sway  from  her  throne  (Miss  Fannie's  desk). 
Then  the  necessary  evil  of  a  vice-president  was  embodied  in  Mary  Linton  Walton. 
Mae  Van  Wagenen  having  displayed  her  talent  for  writing  letters,  l)ecame  our 
secretary  and  treasurer. 

We  unanimously — there  was  no  question  aljout  it — elected  Miss  Fannie 
Strauss  for  our  Class  Patron.  We  certainl}-  hope  she  felt  half  the  honor  in  re- 
ceiving this  office  as  we  did  in  bestowing  it. 

All  work  and  no  play  makes  Jill  a  dull  girl,  so  every  now  and  then  we  donned 
our  glad  rags  and  stepped  out.  Miss  Fannie  Strauss  has  given  us  two  lovely 
parties  at  her  house  and  once  we  entertained  the  Seminary  Seniors.  We  tf)ok  them 
to  the  movies  then  to  Miss  Fannie's  afterwards. 

Mary  Linton  gave  us  a  supper  at  her  house.  Miss  Higgins  was  there  as  the 
guest  of  honor. 

Then,  too,  we  entertained  our  patron  at  the  Rosemary  Tea  Shop.  More  fun 
and  still  much  more  to  eat ! 

"The  woman  is  the  leader  of  the  deed."  This  somewhat  high-sounding  motto 
may  seem  inappropriate  for  a  class  whose  aspirations  so  far  seem  to  have  been 
centered  about  a  good  time  for  ourselves,  but  we  hope  that  our  members  may  _vet 
deserve  a  position  in  the  front  rank  of  college  seniors.

The  Sfory  of  fhe 


in  Marg  Bafdwin 


^^^^^77^^^^^  ONSIUERING^Rt  the  spiritual  sidu  of  our  trian^'le,  the 

^^^KM*.l^^fKw     Association  tries^ery  hard  to  further  the  development  of 

■■■■■■■&B         that  phase  of  our  life.     Iwery  Thursday  Miss  Higgins 

m  M  reads  at  breakfast  a  notice  th:;t  Morning  Watch  will  be 

•     ^^^1    ■  held  in  the  Girls'  Parlor  immediately  afterward.     This  is 

mm  ■  ''  ^"-'^^  minutes  of  devotional  "deep  breathing"  that  fits  us 

m       ^L^     ■  jjetter  for  the  tasks  of  the  day.     The  regular  meetings  of 

0         ^^^     \        the  Y.  \V.  are  held  after  supper  on  Sunday  nights.   Often, 

wh^n  the  soft,  warm  twilight  of  spring  and  early  summer 

pi-rmit  it,  we  have  a  hill>ide  vesper  service. 

To  understand  the  needs  of  students  of  other  lands  and  to  create  a  \  ital  in- 
terest in  their  problems  has  a  prominent  part  on 
our  programs.  We  also  try  to  arouse  a  deep  in- 
tellectual conviction  that  we  can  further  the 
upward  march  of  mankind,  "not  by  might,  nor 
by  power,  but  by  my  spirit,  s:!ith  the  Lord  of 
Hosts." 

A  wonderful  spirit  of  co-operation  is  shown 
the  program  committee  by  the  entire  school. 
Seldom  has  a  girl  been  rsked  to  take  part  in  tire 
service  and  refused.  The  music  department 
contributes  selections  by  the  choir,  solos  and 
duets ;  the  expression  department  supplies  us 
with  a  wealth  of  well-trained  readers. 

Our  social  program  has  two  ends,  others 
and  ourselves.  The  m;ans  to  these  ends  are  the 
Social  and  the  Entertainment  Committees.  Every  Saturday  ujion  which  some 
organization  is  not  serving  a  chicken  salad  tea,  or  local  talent  is  not  disporting 
itself  on  the  stage,  the  Entertainment  Committee 
sees  to  it  that  music  and  song  float  up  from  the 
old  gymnasium. 

When  the  hungry  cry  of  the  little  negroes  at 
the  orphanage  just  outside  of  Staunton  reached 
our  ears,  we  just  had  to  respond.  You  should 
have  seen  the  little  darkies  when  we  took  them 
the  big  Thanksgiving  boxes,  collected  by  contri- 
utions  from  every  girl  in  school  who  received  a 
().\  of  delectable  provisions  for  Thanksgiving. 
They  could  hardly  wait  for  our  l)acks  to  I)e 
turned  before  they  "dived  in." 

But  the  role  we  most  delight  lo  till  is  that  of 

Santa  Claus.     You  should  see  the  cabinet  girls 

tilling  the  stockings  for  some  of  the  needy  fami- 

)re  our  Christmas  holiday's  commence.     We  have  a 

more  school  f(U"  whom  we 


lies  in  Staunton  a  few  days  lief 

little  girl  whose  education  we  take  care  of  at  the  Cro: 

also  enjoy  playing  this  old  and  honorable  role. 

.\nolher  thing  connected  with  this  Christmas  atni 


phen 


the  caroling.     On 


till.'  last  day  before  Christmas  vacation  the  Y.  W. 
Choir,  assisted  lustily  by  the  cabinet,  arises  before 
daylight  and  hurries  to  the  waiting  bus.  For  once 
during  the  year  S.  M.  A.  is  awakened  by  a  chorus 
of  "Hark  the  Herald  Angels  Sing"  instead  of  the 
more  militant  bugle.  We  serenade  the  town,  fill- 
ing the  air  with  Christmas  anthems  and  ourselves 
with  Christmas  joy. 

To  our  sick  and  way-worn  members,  the  So- 
cial Committee  carries  flowers  and  magazines  to 
brighten  their  stay  in  the  infirmary. 

I*>ehind  all  these  services  of  the  association  is 
the  Y.  W.  C.  A.  cabinet  composed  of  the  chalr- 
nvjn  of  the  different  committees  and  the  officers 
of  the  association.  Every  Tuesday  v/e  meet  to 
talk  over  the  prol)lems  of  the  school  and  decide 
how  we  can  serve  best  the  needs  of  the  girls  and  the  way  in  which,  in  our  very 
small  way,  we  can  serve  the  world.  Always  behind  the  efforts  of  the  cabinet  is 
Miss  Montgomery.  We  would  be  lost  without  her  advice  and  without  her  efforts 
to  "put  over"  everything  we  undertake.

We  are  hoiii  witli  dramatic  institict.  This  instinct  enables  us  to  forget  our- 
selves, and  to  enter  into  a  .sympathetic  understanding  of  life  and  human  heings. 
If  this  natural  impulse  is  not  smothered  or  crushed  in  earl\-  life,  it  empowers  us  to 
enjoy  more  fully  the  world  in  which  we  live  and  to  understand  more  clearlv  the 
moti\'e  and  character  of  other.s. 

I'he  |)urpose  of  The  Sock  and  Buskin  Club  is  to  develop  dramatic  thitiking, 
imagination,  and  \ocal  e.xpression  through  tlie  stud\-  and  ])resentation  of  plavs 
with  literar\'  value. 

The  club  meets  weekly,  at  which  time  there  are  informal  readings,  lectures, 
poetry  recitals,  and  sketches  from  life.  To  aid  in  a  broader,  deeper  appreciation 
of  literature  and  life  is  the  primary  aim  of  the  Expression  course — and  The  Sock 
and  Bushiu  Club  provides  the  means  toward  that  advancement.

King, 


The  Son^  of  fhe  Cfub  and  fhe  Kin^- 


A  talc  of  the  ages  olden: 

Of  a  castle  within  a  town 
Where  dwelt  maidens  with  tresses  golden 

And  tresses  raven  and  brown. 

But  one  fact  my  soul  distresses, 

For  ever,  early  and  late, 
The  damsels  with  crimson  tresses 

In  sorrow  bewailed  their   fate. 


But  to  these  of  the  locks  of  scarlet 
Did  fortune  a  rescue  bring ; 

And  he  proved  not  i)age  nor  varlet 
But  his  majesty,  the  King! 

He  showed  them  his  special  favor ; 

Nor  do  they  count  it  the  least 
That  they  still  remember  the  flavor 

Of  their  friend's  most  roval  feast. 


.\nd  so,  with  the  highest  elation, 
The  red-haired  maidens  sing 

In  the  deepest  apjireciation, 
"Vive  le  Roi!  Mr.  King!"

Mr.  Benjamin  Stillingfleet The  Lecturer  for  the  evening 

Time — Middle  eighteenth  century. 

(The  ladies  enter,  greet  each  other  with  dignity,  seat  theiiisehes.  Mrs.  Mon- 
tague rises,  fumbles  with  a  paper,  and  proceeds  to  read  it  in  correct  declamatory 
style.) 

Mrs.  Montague:    Members  of  the  Society  for  the  Uplift  of  Female  Wit  and 
Conversation,  let  us  endeavor  to  maintain  before  us  our  lofty  object.    I  have  thus 
addressed  you,  not  as  gentlemen  are  accustomed  to  do  as  members  of  the  frailer 
though  fairer  sex,  because  against  this  our  very  aim  raises  protest.     For  w-e  have 
thus  banded  together  to  prove  the  w'orth  of  our  sex ;  to  rescue 
"Conversation's  setting  light. 
Half  obscur'd  in  Gothic  night," 
and  to  elevate  the  thoughts  of  our  bosoms  above  those  of  the  common  herd. 

(She  reseats  herself,  amid  polite  applause.) 

Mrs.  Bean  (rising):  Noble  president  of  our  order,  we  hail  thee,  a  veritable 
Semiramis.  Yet  while  these  words  fell  from  thine  inspired  lips,  methought  how 
sad  that  we  alone  should  reap  their  benefit.  And  a  thought  awoke  within  me, 
whose  very  temerity  makes  the  rose  to  bloom  anew  upon  these  virgin  cheeks.  Let 
us,  members  of  the  Society  for  the  Uplift  of  Females,  put  these  thoughts,  the 
efifusions  of  our  pens,  into  a  book,  to  prove  forever  the  ascendancy  of  the  female 
mind. 

All  (azvcd) :    A  book  ! 

Mrs.  Montague:    But  what  should  we  call  it? 

Mrs.  Vacey:    Let's  ask  Mr.  Benjamin  Stillingfleet. 

All  :    Oh,  yes  ;  Mr.  Stillingfleet ! 

Mrs.  Boscawen:  Ah,  the  dear  man!  so  charming;  so  original.  My  dear 
husband,  Admiral  Boscawen,  remarked  today,  "What  would  you  ladies  do  without 
the  blue  stockings?" 

(The  others  are  properly  overcome  with  embarrassment.  .Mrs.  Boseazi'cn 
finally  realizes  her  "faux  pas,"  and  is  momentarily  subdued.) 

Mrs.  Vacey  (deprecatingly) :     Oh,  dear  Amelia  ! 

Mrs.  Bean  :  Of  course,  we  had  noticed  that  he  wears  blue — that  the  shade  of 
his — er — but  nevertheless — — 

Mrs.  Montague:  Ladies,  let  not  the  uplift  of  the  mind  cause  us  to  forget 
female  modesty  to  such  an  extent  as  to  name  in  society  the — the — nether  covering 
of  the  person :  though  it  is  true  that  all  have  remarked  the  habitual  color.

Mrs.  N'acey  :    So  delightfully  unconventional ! 

Mrs.  Bean  :    But  the  book,  the  offspring  of  the  muses? 

All:    Here  comes  Mr.  Stillingtleet  now! 

('Mr.  Stillingfleet  enters  attired  inconspicituusly  sin'c  far  the — ahem! — 
Iiose,  whose  plebian  shade  he  wears  with  dignity.) 

Mrs.  Montague:  Mr.  Stillingfleet,  little  did  you  dream  that  this  evening 
would  prove  momentous  in  the  annals  of  the  race.  Sir,  we  have  determined  to 
place  before  the  public  eye  the  flowerings  of  the  quill,  to  fashion  a  frame  for  the 
inspiration  of  the  Muses — in  short,  to  write  a  book !  But,  good  friend  and  coun- 
sellor, we  are  at  a  loss  to  determine  what  to  christen  this  offspring  of  the  mind. 

Mr.  Stillingfleet:  Ladies,  I  am  moved  by  profound  joy  and  by  awe.  But 
as  to  a  name 

Mrs.  Boscawen  (uttering  a  shriek):  A  mouse!  (She  springs  upon  a  chair, 
raising  her  petticoats  high;  the  other  ladies  minutely  follow  her  example.) 

Mr.  Stillingfleet:    Fairest  members  of  the  fair  sex,  what  is  the  matter? 

All  ;    A  mouse  ! 

Mr.  .Stillingfleet:  Calm  yourselves,  ladies:  I  will  effect  a  rescue. 
strikes  the  mouse  zvith  his  cane,  picks  it  up  by  the  tail.  Ladies  shriek. 
Stillingfleet  bows  and  carries  it  out.) 

All  :    What  a  hero  ! 

Mrs.  Boscawen  :    W'hat  should  we  do  without  the  blue  stockings ! 

(All  suddenly  look  at  each  others' — cr — limbs,  and  stare  in  amacement 
are  wearing  blue  stockings!) 

Mr.  Stillingfleet  (re-entering) :  Now,  ladies,  as  to  a  title — (sees  their  po- 
sition, stops  abruptly,  gallantly  turns  his  back.)  Ladies,  in  my  estimation,  a 
worthy  title  would  be,  "The  Bluestocking,"  and  long  may  it  flourish  as  a  mouth- 
piece of  female  culture  and  talent. 

(Exit) 

Mrs.  Montague:  "The  Bluestocking"  let  it  be.  Members  of  the  .Society  for 
the  Elevation  of  Female  Wit  and  Conversation,  the  meeting  is  adjoumed.

The  Secref  Garden 

The  Convent  of  the  Sisters  of  Mercy, 

Fontenay,  France,  October  17,  1915. 

^illlllllHUIIHliiHmu\^^^^  is  my  thirteenth  birthday.  Ninon  says  I  must  put 
^  away  childish  things  and  become  a  woman,  but  it  is  so 
r  hard  to  grow  up.  Ninon  is  eighteen  and  has  Httle 
~  brown,  fluffy  curls  all  over  her  head  and  smihng  blue 
i  eyes.  She  is  down  at  the  end  of  the  garden  now,  with 
"w    ^  ^  gardener  Michael,  gathering  the  poppies,  that  the  frost 

V.i|^S§N  ■^   has  not  yet  nipped.    By  and  by  she  will  fasten  one  in  her 

J*  "'  .^^  1^^  '^^i'"  where  the  curls  are  thickest.  Yesterday  I  asked 
^HtnntUHHUlfYtnWr^  ^^^  *f  she  were  getting  ready  for  the  fairy  prince,  but 
she  only  threw  a  poppy  at  me  and  said  I  shouldn't  bother 
my  head  about  such  things — But  when  I  persisted  and  said  that  I  would  go  out  and 
hunt  one  for  her,  she  answered,  "Yvonne!  There  are  no  real  princesses  and 
princes.    They  only  live  in  books."    But  I  think  she  is  wrong. 

October  18th: 
Ninon  says  that  instead  of  trying  to  be  a  lady  I  have  been  a  veritable  "imp  of 
Satan"  today.  It  was  raining  when  I  woke  up  and  my  golden  fairy  did  not  come 
on  his  sunbeam,  but  instead  a  little  gray  gnome  came  in  through  my  bedroom  win- 
dow on  a  raindrop.  He  always  comes  on  rainy  days  and  makes  me  feel  all  bad 
inside.  At  breakfast  he  told  me  to  put  salt  in  Ninon's  porridge  and  now  he  is 
laughing  at  me  from  the  corner  and  daring  me  to  make  faces  at  Celine.  Horrid 
girl !    She  says  my  hair  curls  like  the  tail  of  Michael's  pig. 

This  afternoon  the  Cure  came  to  hear  Celine  and  me  recite  Catechism.  I  hate 
it  and  told  him  so,  and  he  was  so  horrified  that  he  punished  me  by  making  me 
write  poetry — That  silly  stuff !    I  can  see  no  sense  in  it !    So  this  is  what  I  wrote : 

THE  CURE 

He  has  squinty  eyes  and  a  turned  up  nose, 
And  queer,  it  is  always  as  red  as  a  rose. 
He  is  sure  to  come  here  every  day 
He  stays  for  lunch  and  then  he'll  pray. 

He  nearly  boxed  my  ears,  but  I  was  too  quick  for  him  and  ran  out  of  the 
room.  Ninon  says  she  hopes  the  sun  will  shine  tomorrow  so  that  my  fairy  will 
come  back. 

October  20th: 

I  have  found  the  Prince !  He  lives  in  our  secret  garden ;  the  place  where  I 
least  expected  to  find  him.  Ninon  calls  it  that  because  no  one  knows  of  it  except 
us.  Nobody  lives  there,  except  the  tinkling  fountain,  the  breeze  and  the  sun- 
dial. Ivy  and  moss  grow  everywhere  and  the  flower  beds  are  all  over-grown  with 
weeds.  Ninon  says  it  is  a  garden  that  has  lived  its  life  and  love,  but  is  now 
dreaming.  We  have  looked  and  looked  for  a  gate  but  can  never  find  one.  We 
enter  the  garden  by  climbing  the  high  garden  wall  and  clinging  to  the  ivy  stems 
that  cover  it. 


*  *  -tt**^^*? ^cSr*y*  '*'*^'T^flt>y*»*y**%'^"^*"**vy^"^v^'*y    vs. 


The  sisters  had  gone  to  visit  the  Cure  and  Ninon  was  baking  gingerbread, 
so  I  sHpped  down  the  path  and  had  safely  climbed  the  wall  and  was  dangling  my 
feet  over  it  when  I  heard  somebody  singing.  I  nearly  fell  over  backwards,  I  was 
so  frightened.  I  crossed  myself  and  sat  holding  my  breath  in  suspense,  and  then 
the  Prince  came  into  view.  I  knew  him  right  away ;  for  he  was  just  like  the  one 
in  my  story-book,  except  that  he  didn't  have  any  gay-colored  plumes  or  a  horse, 
but  I  liked  him  just  the  same.  When  he  saw  me  he  stopped  and  said  something 
softly  in  a  language  which  I  couldn't  understand.  But  I  only  smiled  back  and 
asked  him  in  French  if  he  were  the  Prince.  At  that  he  laughed  so  hard  that  I 
laughed  too,  and  then  he  came  and  helped  me  down.  He  showed  me  the  garden — 
It  has  changed  so;  the  flowers  are  no  longer  choked  with  weeds  and  there  are 
white  garden  seats  under  the  trees.    The  garden  has  awakened ! 

October  21st: 

Today  Ninon  found  the  gate !  She  was  so  sweet  and  lovely  in  her  blue  musHn 
dress,  with  a  larkspur  in  her  hair,  that  suddenly  I  wanted  the  Prince  to  see  her. 
I  have  never  told  her  about  him  for  she  would  not  go  with  me. 

At  the  bend  of  the  garden  we  came  face  to  face  with  the  Prince.  Ninon 
stopped  and  stared  and  her  face  turned  first  a  delicate  pink  and  then  a  marble 
white.  And  the  Prince !  Something  I  had  never  seen  before  was  gleaming  in  his 
eyes,  but  Ninon  turned  and  fled  straight  for  the  garden  wall. 

I  clutched  Prince  Tom's  hand  and  we  ran  also.  She  was  half-way  up  when 
we  got  there.  She  turned  around  to  look  at  us  and  without  warning  the  ivy  tore 
from  the  wall  and  she  fell  with  a  thud  to  the  ground. 

I  thought  she  was  dead,  because  she  lay  so  white  and  still  against  the  Prince's 
arm.  But  she  was  only  stunned.  By  and  by  her  long  lashes  fluttered,  and  she 
opened  her  eyes  to  smile  at  me. 

I  shuddered  and  looked  at  the  wall.  Then  I  screamed  and  danced.  If  the 
Sisters  had  been  there  they  would  have  held  up  their  hands  in  horror,  with  looks 
of  astonishment  on  their  pious  faces.    There  was  the  gate! 

It  was  browned  by  the  sun  and  the  rain  so  that  you  could  hardly  detect  it 
from  the  rest  of  the  wall.  Its  hinges  were  rusty  and  the  latch  worm-eaten;  cov- 
ered by  ivy  it  had  been  safe  from  prying  eyes.  The  Prince  said  we  should  plant 
the  ivy  there  once  more  and  it  should  be  known  only  to  us. 

May  3rd: 

I  am  writing  this  by  candle  light.  I  know  I  shall  make  blots  and  mis-spell 
words  since  Ninon  is  not  here  to  help  me. 

The  city  is  in  total  darkness ;  here  and  there  a  light  may  be  seen  like  a  far  off 
star,  but  it  too,  is  shaded  from  hostile  eyes.  For  death  stalks  everywhere  and  may 
come  without  warning  to  the  sleeping  village. 

The  Prince  has  gone.    He  marched  away  in  our  country's  blue. 

Ninon  was  brave  and  smiled  gladly,  but  I  cried.  Down  the  street  they  came ; 
heads  erect,  arms  swinging.  My  eyes  blurred  so  that  I  could  see  nothing  through 
my  tears.  I  wanted  to  call  to  them :  "Come  back,  come  back!"  for  some  I  knew 
would  never  come  again ;  they  will  sleep  where  red  poppies  blow.  But  they  went 
bravely,  fearlessly  on. 


-TTT 


One  morning  I  kissed  Ninon  goodbye.  She  looked  very  neat  and  trim  in  her 
nurses'  uniform  as  she  went  down  the  hill  toward  the  valley  and  I  was  left  alone. 

June  5th: 

It  has  been  a  long,  long  May,  and  I  have  been  very  ill.  One  day  while  I  sat 
knitting  under  the  sun-lit  apple  tree,  a  man  staggered  toward  me.  His  face  was 
ghastly  and  blood  was  coming  from  his  mouth  and  nose.  His  blue  uniform  was 
torn  and  caked  with  mud.  He  fell  at  my  feet,  mumbling,  "Save  me,  save  me! 
They  will  kill  me  in  a  moment !" 

It  was  Michael !  shaken,  fighting  in  a  living  hell  for  months  for  France !  But 
home  ties  were  stronger  and  he  had  gone  through  untold  agonies  and  terrors  just 
to  kiss  the  sweetest  baby  in  the  world  once  more — his  little  Jeanne.  Where  could 
I  hide  him  ?  The  garden !  Could  we  make  it  ?  We  must !  I  know  I  prayed,  but 
for  what  I  did  not  know.  I  half  dragged,  half  carried  Michael  to  the  garden.  The 
gate  would  not  open !  Oh,  Mother  Mary,  grant  me  time !  Nearer  and  nearer 
rode  the  horsemen.  I  turned  and, sped  down  the  pathway.  Returning,  I  threw 
my  whole  weight  against  the  gate.    It  swung  open ! 

I  flung  myself  exhausted  on  the  grass  within  the  garden.  My  breath  came  in 
gasps  while  my  heart  seemed  to  be  pounding  to  pieces  in  my  throat. 

Soon  the  horsemen  rode  up  to  the  wall.  Crowding  closer  to  the  side  of  it  I 
tried  to  stop  the  flow  of  blood  on  poor  Michael's  arm,  as  he  lay  face  downward 
on  the  grass. 

"They  are  on  the  other  side  of  the  wall,"  called  one. 

"Have  sense,  a  child  could  not  carry  him  over  it,  and  there  seems  to  be  no 
gate.    We  are  wasting  time,"  laughed  the  other. 

"Have  your  own  way,"  retorted  the  first  angrily.  "It  is  no  wonder  we  have 
no  success  in  overtaking  deserters.    You  are  like  a  jelly  fish,  without  a  backbone." 

I  knew  no  more  until  I  awoke  in  my  little  white  bed  with  Sister  Jeannette's 
kind  face  bending  over  me.  For  many  days  I  had  lingered  near  death,  while  poor 
gardener  Michael  had  only  lived  long  enough  to  kiss  his  little  Jeanne  goodbye. 

Ninon  is  home  again,  but  she  is  not  the  pretty,  happy  Ninon  that  she  used 
to  be;  she  very  seldom  smiles  and  seems  living  in  the  lands  of  yesterday.  We  go 
for  a  walk  everyday  in  the  secret  garden  and  she  seems  to  be  looking  for  someone. 
It  is  the  Prince,  but  he  will  come  no  more,  for  he  is  dead. 

Yesterday  as  she  sat  on  the  bench  by  the  fountain  and  I  was  twining  a  flower 
in  her  hair,  she  whispered,  "Dead,  Dead !" 

I  exclaimed,  "No,  Ninon,  you  said  there  are  no  dead,  that  we  live  forever. 
He  is  not  dead,  but  living!" 

She  turned  my  face  toward  her  and  kissed  me.  "I  had  almost  forgotten 
God,  Yvonne  dear;  it  is  true  that  life  never  ends!" 

And  with  her  head  close  to  mine  we  watched  the  hand  of  God  change  the 
flaming  gold  of  the  sunset  to  the  colors  of  mauve  and  purple  before  dusk  fell.

-.S  printed  in  this  form  "for  the  purpose  of  giving  it  a  wide. 
^  gratuitous  circulation"  is  the  first  catalogue  of  the  Au- 
.;  gusta  Female  Seminary.  The  date  is  1846.  It  was  1842 
when  Rev.  Rufus  W.  Bailey  had  first  come  to  Staunton 
ffr^  and  opened  the  school.  Two  years  later  the  cornerstone 
had  been  laid  for  the  first  building,  now  the  central  por- 
tion of  Main.  The  importance  of  the  work  they  were  inaugurating  was  recog- 
nized by  the  founders  in  the  solemnit\-  of  the  cornerstone  ceremony.  Inside  the 
stone  were  "A  copy  of  the  Staunton  Spectator,  newspaper  of  the  week ;  a  copper

plate  with  a  record  of  the  ceremon}' The  Holy  Bible  enclosed  in  oil  silk 

with  the  superscription — 'Tlir  Only  Rule  of  Faith  and  First  Text-Book  of  the 
AiKjiisfa  Female  Seminary.'  "  The  address  delivered  on  this  occasion  strikes  a 
humorous  chord  in  the  mind  of  the  modern  reader:  the  deterioration  of  youth 
from  its  attractive  form  of  earlier  days ;  the  precocious  extravagance  and  world- 
ly-wisdom; the  cause,  among  other  factors,  foreign  influences  in  education.  This 
Seminary  was  to  combat  those  degenerating  tendencies  and  remain  a  bulwark  of 
sound  manners  and  morals. 

By  the  date  of  the  publication  of  the  first  catalogue,  the  institution  was  safely 
housed  m  its  new  home  with  a  faculty  of  four — 

Rev.  K.  W.  Bailey 
Mrs.  M.  B.  Bailey 
Miss  M.  E.  Bailey 
Miss  H.  P.  Bailey 

and  an  enrollment  of  sixty  pupils,  in  the  list  of  whom  appears  a  significant  name — 
Mary  Julia  Baldwin. 

The  curriculum  of  that  day  is  an  interesting  topic.  The  entire  student  body 
received  instruction  in  the  "3-R's,"  Spelling,  Grammar,  and  Geography.  Among 
the  more  advanced  courses  were  Rhetoric,  Botany,  Astronomy,  Chemistry, 
Natural  Philosophy,  and  Music  on  Piano  Forte  or  Guitar. 

The  paragraph  headed  "Boarding"  is  likewise  of  interest  in  our  study  of  the 
evolution  of  the  school :  "Instead  of  a  single  Boarding-House,  the  arrangement  has 
been  preferred  to  distribute  the  pupils  into  different  families,  where  the  social  and 
domestic  habits  may  be  cultivated  through  the  whole  course  of  education.     Such 

arrangements  h  a  v  e 
been  made  with  pri- 
vate families  of  high 
respectability,  in  the 
immediate  vicinity  of 
the  Seminary,  that  al- 
HKjst  any  number  may 
be  accomodated  by 
placing  four  to  eight 
in  a  faniih'.  The 
N'oung  ladies  will  be 
brou.ght  under  the 
liest  moral  influence 
and  maternal  super- 
vision, exerted  by 
those  who  will  act  in 
harmonious  concert 
with  their  teachers  to 
aid    in    the    thorough

education  of  mind,  manners,  and  heart."  Apparently  this  Utopian  arrangement 
was  not  so  feasible  as  the  Trustees  had  anticipated,  for  in  a  few  years  we  find  it 
yielding  place  to  a  regular,  though  small  boarding  department  in  the  building. 

One  item  would  strike  the  ear  of  a  modern  school  girl  in  a  manner,  to  say  the 
least,  unfavorable.  The  two  sessions,  beginning  the  first  Monday  of  September 
and  the  first  Monday  of  February,  respectively,  were  each  of  five  months'  dura- 
tion with  no  pause  between,  the  months  of  July  and  August  composing  the  sole 
vacation. 

Apparently,  however,  this  rigid  schedule  was  deemed  essential  to  the  ful- 
filment of  the  purpose  of  the  Seminary,  as  expressed  in  the  first  report  of  the 
Board  of  Trustees:    "It  was  our  purpose  to  found  an  institution  in  which  all  the 

branches  of  a  substantial  female  education  should  be  taught  and  thoroughly 

In  the  public  examinations  the  young  ladies  have  shown  such  an  intimate  acquaint- 
ance with  their  various  studies  as  to  draw  forth  strong  expressions  of  approbation 
from  the  Trustees  and  the  audience."  Could  the  Board  have  been  guilty  of — we 
will  not  say  yellow — rose-tinted  journalism?  Or  how  shall  we  reconcile  this  with 
the  less  formal  report  of  contemporaries  that  studying  was  not  at  all  fashionable 
in  those  days ;  that  Miss  Baldwin,  in  the  capacity  of  earnest  student,  was  decidedly 
in  the  minority? 

Having  announced  its  existence  and  aim,  the  Seminary  felt  it  quite  unneces- 
sary to  publish  another  catalogue  for  the  next  twenty-three  years ;  a  respectable 
Seminary  had  little  need  of  forcing  itself  on  the  public.  Besides,  it  was  growing, 
slowly  yet  surely,  under  varying  regimes.  In  the  session  of  '60-'61  the  boarders 
numbered  some  score,  one  or  two  from  so  remote  a  distance  as  Richmond. 

And  then  came  war.  The  boys  in  gray  marched  through  Staunton ;  the  Semi- 
nary girls,  standing  on  the  terraces  to  wave  their  champions  adieu,  showered  them 
with  clover  blossoms  in  default  of  handsomer  flowers.  But  they  were  soon  to  dis- 
cover that  war  is  not  all  bands  and  blossoms ;  even  to  non-combatants  it  brings  its 

question,  that  of

barrels  donned  frills  and 
became  ladies'  dressing- 
tables  ;  the  pupils  them- 
selves sat  prim  and  straight, 
their  hoop-skirts  concealing 
bread  and  bacon. 

Trite  perhaps,  but  still 
true,  is  the  proverb,  "Dark- 
est before  dawn."  In  1863 
Mary  Julia  Baldwin  was 
called  to  the  principalship 
Ar(;usT.A  Fr.m.m-h  Skmi.nak^  in  I.s.m)  ^f   Augusta   Female   Semi- 

nary. And  then  somehow  the  school  seemed  to  wake  up  again,  a  healthy  circula- 
tion was  stimulated.  That  year  saw  a  larger  number  of  pupils  enrolled  than  ever 
before,  in  spite  of  the  war.  The  curriculum  was  thoroughly  overhauled  and  re- 
arranged. And  in  the  spring  of  1865  the  first  diploma  of  the  Seminary  was  be- 
stowed. Before  this  time  a  young  lady  had  merely  received  education ;  hence- 
forth it  was  to  be  ait  education.  Miss  Nannie  Tate  of  Staunton  was  the  pioneer. 
Her  own  account  of  the  ceremony  is  delightful.  The  first  concern  of  the  sweet 
girl  graduate  is  the  dress,  and  the  war  had  left  few  white  dresses  in  Augusta 
county.  But  from  one  friend  came  the  loan  of  a  plain  white  muslin  skirt,  and 
from  another  a  waist  of  dotted  swiss.  The  exercises  were  held  in  the  Presbyterian 
Church.  There  were  certificates  of  various  kinds  to  be  delivered ;  Professor 
McGufifey  of  the  University  of  Virginia  was  to  make  the  address ;  on  top  of  the 
high  desk  reposed  the  precious  diploma.  And  Miss  Nannie,  who  had  worked  for 
years  for  it,  was  obliged  to  work  hard  up  to  the  last  minute :  for  whether  the 
speaker's  motive  may  have  been  to  emphasize  the  lofty  status  of  learning,  or  what- 
ever his  reason,  we  know  that  Dr.  McGufFey  did  not  descend  from  his  eminent 
position.  Rather,  he  leaned  over  the  pulpit  to  bestow  the  parchment  from  above. 
And  the  diminutive  graduate  stretched  on  tiptoe  to  reach  it  from  below.  Surely 
never  was  honor  so  hardly  won  ! 

From  the  session  of  '67-'68  on  down  we  have  the  printed  page  for  a  storehouse 
of  tradition,  for  that  year  appeared  another  catalogue.  The  growth  of  the  school 
in  the  past  four  years  had  been  phenomenal.  The  pupils  numbered  one  hundred 
and  thirty-four,  of  whom  seventy-four  were  boarders.  Thirty-six  were  from  other 
states  than  Virginia,  the  numlier  of  these  represented  being  eleven. 

The  plan  itself  had  extended  beyond  the  first  little  schoolhouse.  Wings  had 
been  added  to  each  side  of  the  original  building,  making  it  practically  the  same  as 
our  present  Administration  Building.  Still  more  radical,  "a  new,  spacious  and 
handsome  edifice,  well  ventilated,  heated  throughout  from  a  patent  furnace,  and 
with  water  and  gas  pipes  reaching  every  room,"  had  been  constructed.  Also  we 
are  informed,  "The  schfjol  has  a  Ltbrarj',  Philosophical,  and  Chemical  .Apparatus, 


Maps,  Globes,  Musical  Instruments,  and  other  facilities  for  instruction  and  illus- 
tration." 

The  course  of  study  had  alread)-  been  remodeled  under  Miss  I^aldvvin's  ad- 
ministration. The  explanation  of  the  system  is  given :  "The  plan  of  instruction  is 
that  of  the  University  of  Virginia,  modified  only  as  far  as  to  adapt  it  to  the  pe- 
culiar recjuisite  of  female  education.  The  course  of  study  is  distributed  into 
"schools,'  each  constituting  a  complete  course  on  the  subject  taught."  The  schools 
are  those  of  Latin,  French,  Mathematics,  R'loral  Science,  Natural  Science,  English 
Literature,  History,  and  Music. 

Evidently  the  University  must  have  approved  of  its  imitator,  for  foremost 
among  the  testmionials  that  year  we  find  the  following,  from  Professor  McGuiifey 
— we  met  him  at  Miss  Nannie  Tate's  graduation  : 

I  consider  this  school  as  amongst  the  best,  if  not  the  very  best  in  the  South.  Its  d'lSix- 
/>li)ic  is  parental,  in  the  best  sense  of  that  term.  It  is  under  strictly  religious  influence,  with- 
out being  sectarian.  The  method  of  instruction  combines,  most  felicitously,  acquisition  with 
development,  and  the  course  of  studies  is  ample,  varied,  and  complete — skillfully  adapted  to 
the  highest  improvement  of  both  intellect  and  character. 

I  am  acquainted  with  no  Seminary  where  young  ladies  may  spend  their  time  more  frufit- 
cilily.  safely,  and  agreeably  than  at  the  Augusta  Female  Seminary.

Another  particularly  interesting  name  among  the  references  is  one  closelv 
linked  with  some  of  the  associations  Mary  Baldwin  holds  most  dear — Rev.  Joseph 
K.  Wilson,  father  of  the  late  president. 


Aucil'SlA    I-'kM.M.K   SKMlNAin     IN    ISdd 


Gentlemen, — Institutions  £or  the  instruction  of  young  ladies  abound  throughout  the  coun- 
try, and  there  may  be  others  as  deserving  of  public  confidence  as  this ;  but  /  have  never  known 
such  a  school.  It  is  as  near  perfection,  in  my  judgment,  as  it  is  possible  for  human  wisdom 
to  make  it.  This  sounds  like  the  language  of  extravagance ;  but  I  employ  it  deliberately,  and 
vv'ith  a  full  sense  of  all  that  it  implies.  A  long  acquaintance  with  Miss  Bald'u'in  and  Miss 
McClung,  -a'arranls  me  in  declaring  to  all  whom  my  word  may  influence,  that  there  are  no  two 
ladies  in  the  land  who  are  better  qualified,  by  nature,  by  cultivation,  by  grace,  and  now  by 
experience,  for  conducting  a  Seminary  like  that  over  which  they  preside.  My  own  daughter 
is  under  their  care,  and  no  sacrifice  would  I  refuse  to  make  to  keep  her  there  until  her  educa- 
tion is  completed.  I  can  honestly  advise  parents  to  send  their  children  to  this  excellent  insti- 
tution, with  the  assurance  that  it  will  be  through  no  fault  of  its  Principal,  if  they  shall  not  be 
well  and  thoroughly  taught.    I  regard  this  Seminary  as  a  great  public  blessing. 

Respectfully, 

J.  R.  Wilson. 
Augusta,  Ga. 

At  this  time  the  weekly  composition  came  into  prominence.  Those  of  the 
older  pupils  were  read  aloud  in  the  schoolroom,  and  the  younger  girls  wrote  in 
imitation.  We  should  probably  have  enjoyed  some  of  these  evenings  if  rnany  of 
the  prescribed  subjects  were  siinilar  to  that  of  "A  Death-bed  Scene,"  actually  re- 
membered by  a  former  student. 

Written  examinations  had  replaced  oral  ones  by  now  also.  However,  the 
heyday  of  examinations  had  not  yet  arrived:  that  was  to  come  later;  the  algebra 
class  of  Miss  Charlotte  Kemper — later  noted  for  her  work  in  Brazil — probably 
holds  the  record,  the  class  that  failing  to  complete  the  examination  in  an  entire 
day,  returned  the  next  morning,  and  so  continued  until  Miss  Baldwin  was  forced 
to  protest.    Our  two-hour  examinations  seem  indecently  bare  in  comparison. 

However  archaic  many  topics  may  seem,  there  are  certain  others  that  have  a 
startlingly  familiar  sound  ;  witness,  for  exainple,  the  list  of  rules : 

At  ten  o'clock  at  night  the  young  ladies  must  prepare  for  bed,  and  at  half-past  ten  the 
house  must  be  quiet. 

No  young  lady  is  allowed  to  leave  the  grounds  without  express  permission. 

Visitors  will  not  be  received  during  school  or  study  hours,  nor  the  visits  of  young  gentle- 
men at  any  time,  except  at  the  discretion  of  the  Principal. 

The  next  year  another  modern-day  accjuaintance  inakes  its  appearance — the 
uniform.  Its  origin  is  said  to  have  arisen  on  account  of  one  pupil  whose  inordinate 
dressing  incurred  Miss  Baldwin's  disapproval.  The  principal  not  only  suspended 
the  greater  part  of  her  wardrobe  from  use,  but  in  order  to  guard  against  this 
danger  in  the  future  made  provision  for  greater  restriction  of  dress.  "For  pur- 
poses of  economy  and  convenience,  uniform  suits  are  prescribed  for  winter  and 
spring,  to  be  worn  on  public  occasions.  The  winter  suit  consists  of  grey  oiiprcss 
cloth,  with  basque,  hat,  veil,  and  gloves  to  correspond.  The  spring  suit  is  white 
pique,  with  white  trimmings  on  the  hat."     In  72  the  winter  hat  was  to  be  "black.

trimmed  with  black  and 
white  plumes."  In  '73  the 
suit  was  black  alpaca.  In 
'81  colored  trimming  was 
permitted,  but  the  uni- 
form itself  must  be  black. 
In  addition  we  are  grave- 
ly informed  that  "One 
dress  in  addition  to  the 
uniform,  suitable  for  soi- 
rees, is  amply  sufficient, 
with  the  ordinary  every- 
day clothing.  A  simple 
muslin  or  tarleton  is  all  that  is  necessary  for  Conmiencements.  Expensive  silks 
are  out  of  place  on  young  school  girls."  Another  year  we  find  this  delectable  note 
appended:  "The  following  violations  of  the  laws  of  health  are  prohibited:  Eat- 
ing imprudently  at  night;  zvcariiig  thin  low  shoes  in  cold  weather;  going  out  with- 
out wraps  and  overshoes and  also  the  too  early  removal  of  flannel,  or  any 

neglect  to  put  it  on  at  the  approach  of  cold  wicather."  And :  "Students  shall  not 
borrow  money,  jewelry,  or  books,  nor  wear  the  clothing  of  others.  No  trading  of 
clothes  will  be  permitted."    Evidently  schoolgirl  nature  has  changed  little. 

Of  Miss  Baldwin  herself,  reminiscence  could  be  endless.  A  rare  tribute  is 
paid  to  her  in  the  words  of  one  of  her  pupils,  "I  never  heard  anything  disrespect- 
ful said  of  Miss  Baldwin."  Her  flowers  that  covered  the  terraces ;  her  parrot,  that 
sat  on  the  back  of  her  chair  in  the  dining  room  and  rode  proudly  on  her  finger — 
and  to  which  some  unholy  damsel  taught  the  art  of  profanity ;  her  dogs,  the  little 
one  with  the  bell,  her  bodyguard  and  warning;  the  Newfoundland  who  caused 
disaster  to  the  wedding-trousers  of  the  hapless  gentleman  who  inadvertently  re- 
mained after  ten  o'clock :  to  all  of  them  Ham  and  Jam  still  stand  as  memorial. 

Her  discipline  was  that  of  a  really  great  executive.  Girls  wept  as  they  came 
from  her  office,  not  from  hurt  feelings  but  from  penitence.  Her  favorite  punish- 
ments were  in  accordance  with  her  common  sense :  you  memorized  poetry  or 
Scripture,  something  a  benefit  in  itself;  or  you  were  dosed  with  castor  oil,  for  sin 
argued  sickness. 

Memorizing  poetry  was  not  merely  a  matter  of  penalty,  however.  All  the 
young  ladies  were  trained  to  the  accomplishment  of  Elocution ;  as  many  others 
were  students  of  Music,  singing  or  instrumental,  their  talents  were  displayed  in 
frequent  recitals,  soirees,  and  plays.  Little  Red  Riding  Hood  and  her  wolf  ap- 
peared on  the  stage ;  hosts  of  angels  fluttered  tarleton  wings.  And  in  the  rear 
of  the  chapel  sat  university  students  from  Charlottesville  and  Lexington,  after  the 
performance  to  mingle  with  the  young  ladies  of  A.  F.  S.  The  Seminary  was 
serving  the  world ! 


.t*fl01fu  «M^»  "A'**^ 


It  zvas  serving,  though,  in  the  highest  sense.  The  school  was  growing  stead- 
ily, numerically,  greater,  and  geographically  more  influential.  In  the  catalogue  for 
1881-'82  we  find  the  following  testimonial  from  the  Boston  Journal  of  Education: 
"During  our  recent  tour  in  the  South,  we  perpetually  heard  of  Augusta  Female 
Seminary  at  Staunton,  Virginia,  as  one  of  the  most  deservedly-celebrated  schools 
for  girls  in  that  region ;  taking  an  honorable  rank  with  the  collegiate  institutions 
for  young  women  that  are  now  coming  to  be  such  an  important  factor  in  the 
national  education.  The  catalogue  of  session  for  1880-'81  bears  witness  to  the 
prosperity  of  the  Seminary,  and  the  thorough  and  practical  character  of  its  course 
of  study.  Its  curriculum  is  arranged  on  the  plan  of  the  University  of  Virginia, 
including  a  dozen  'schools,'  with  their  appropriate  teachers.  Only  pupils  with  a 
certificate  of  proficiency  in  eight  of  these  schools,  receive  the  diploma  of  a  full 
graduate.  More  than  forty  names  of  such  graduates  appear  during  the  twenty 
years'  presidency  of  Miss  Baldwin.  The  Seminary  has  now  several  hundred 
students  and  twenty-five  teachers ;  and  is  situated  in  one  of  the  most  beautiful 
and  healthful  towns  in  the  Valley  of  Virginia;  and  is  evidently  making  a  vigorous 
effort  to  maintain  the  past  and  present  reputation  of  the  Old  Dominion,  as  the 
leading  Southern  State  in  the  higher  education,  and  a  nursery  of  superior  teachers, 
especially  for  the  Southwest." 

Year  after  year  new  girls  were  coming;  year  after  year  they  were  going  out, 
bearing  with  them  the  spirit  of  Mary  Julia  Baldwin;  more  years  and  their  daugh- 
ters followed  them,  and  their  daughters'  generation.

September  10 :  I  am  come  to  this  school  today.  It  is  very  glad  to  me  but  I 
have  very  bad  spirits.  It  feels  so  lonely  but  maybe  I  will  gladden  tomorrow.  I 
must  write  in  journal,  called  "diary,"  some  of  the  happy  things  we  do  this  school 
year.     This  Mary  Baldwin  School  feel  very  funny  to  me. 

September  19:  Tonight  was  very  buzzing  in  our  school  and  I  feel  most 
glad.  All  girls  are  happy.  The  Y.  W.  C.  A.  gave  to  the  new  girls  a  welcome 
party  and  it  was  so  excitement. 

September  26:  For  the  only  time  I  play  hockey  today,  at  what  they  call 
"the  farm."    It  is  very  much  pleasure. 

September  27 :  Today  is  Sunday.  "I  try  to  keep  myself  purity,"  I  say  to 
me.  The  girls  tell  me  this  is  a  great  day  because  all  the  time  before  we  have 
teacher  with  us  to  church,  but  today  we  have  only  girls  to  chaperone  us,  and  it 
will  be  like  that  all  times  now  if  we  keep  behave.  I  like  sermon  very  much.  It 
struck  my  heart. 

October  3 :  Today  rain  is  falling  like  a  spear.  No  please  me.  Classmates 
take  me  to  Tea  in  girl's  parlor.  It  for  Y.  W.  C.  A.  We  had  many  new  things  to 
eat,  and  a  very  nice  time.    Everybody  was  satisfied,  so  I  was  too. 

October  10:  I  all  the  time  study  hard.  I  cannot  do  mathematics,  and  I 
think  my  teacher  look  down  on  me.  To  exceed  the  sorry  day  we  go  to  Baby  party

October  13 :  Today  was  glad  weather  in  opposition  to  other  day.  Today 
we  saw,  what  I  think  they  call  a  moving  picture.  I  never  saw  before  but  I  like 
very  much  to  see  again.  At  first  it  made  me  dizzy  but  now  I  understand.  The 
lady  very  pretty. 

October  20:  I  was  so  glad  today — like  everybody  else  when  we  have  a 
holiday.  We  all  congratulated.  Six  classmates  and  myself  go  on  long  automobile 
ride.    It  was  so  pleasant  not  to  have  lessons  like  on  other  days.    I  like  holiday.

Her  voice  was  all  trembly. 

December  23:  I  am  on  visit  now  to  my  nice  aunt  who  live  in  New  York.

to  me,  and  show  me  things  in  this  big  city.    I  never  see  such  before.

February  22 :  Today  Washington's  birthday  come,  but  no  holiday.  Tonight

Time— Sunday  morning,  10:45. 

Characters — M.  B.  C.  girl  and  S.  M.  A.  cadet. 

Action — Characters  approach  each  other,  hesitate,  start  to  speak,  hesitate — 
and  pass  on. 

"To  speak  or  not  to  speak,"  that  is  the  question.  Whether  'tis  worse  to  suffer 
the  sorrows  and  heartbreaks  of  an  atrocious  misunderstanding  or  by  speaking  in- 
cur the  dean's  displeasure.  We  have  met  before  at  the  Ritz,  but  'tis  far  different 
here  'neath  the  public's  vigilance.  What  know  I  but  that  piercing  eyes  be  near  to 
report  us.  Aye,  there's  the  rub!  To  be  reported  and  subjected  to  that  hateful 
humiliation  created  by  rigid  discipline.  Alas !  We  are  not  the  rulers  of  our  fate, 
but  those  "in  authority"  are  now  the  masters  of  our  souls.  Conscience  doth  make 
cowards  of  us  now.  Day  after  day  crawls  by  until  the  passing  of  time  has  no 
meaning;  and  still  we  remain  dumb!  We  may  not  speak!  Hope,  the  only  re- 
maining fragment  of  life,  holds  forth  in  the  human  breast,  but  who  knows  but 
that  in  the  dim,  distant  future  we  may  arrange  an  assignation.  Ah!  when  that 
night  arrives  cursed  be  he  who  cries,  "There  goes  the  9 :25  bell."

GINNY'S  LUCK 

OR 

THE  LIVING  PARABLE 

Once  upon  a  time,  Ginny  Thompson,  daughter  of  old  Sam  Thompson,  a 
famous  soda-jerker,  came  to  Mary  Baldwin.  She  had  her  own  check-book  and  a 
gold-filled  fountain  pen — enough  said !  She  lived  in  style  for  a  year.  She  had  a 
private  bicycle,  victrola,  bath-a-day  habit  suite  of  rooms  (consisting  of  two  closets, 
with  individual  doors,  and  separate  corners  for  her  dresser  and  bed  and  a  constant 
supply  of  Four  Roses  Perfume).  But  this  was  not  all.  Plenty  of  clothes,  includ- 
ing a  fur  coat,  a  diamond  ring,  big  gold  watch  (with  initials  on  back),  permanent 
wave,  and  plenty  of  boy  friends.  She  paid  dues  to  ten  societies,  including  Y.  W. 
C.  A.,  Athletic  Association,  Sunday  School,  Shifter's  Club,  and  two  sororities,  and 

every  summer  had  enough  money  to  hike  to 
^^^^  Niagara  Falls  and  back. 

Then  she  became  a  senior.  In  the  spring 
she  paid  her  class  assessments,  for  .senior  ban- 
quet, the  white  dress  fee,  alumnae  dues,  and 
bought  two  hundred  invitations  and  announce- 
ments. She  bought  pictures  of  the  ten  so- 
@^Wl^^B^  7^  ^^  cieties  and  two  sororities,  and  twenty  pictures 
^^  lt,v!^     J    of  her  bosom  friends.    Besides,  she  purchased 

\^  ^^    ten  trunks  full  of  graduation  clothes,  two  new 
white  uniforms,  and  two  new  black  uniforms 
(for  old  times'  sake),  and  five  copies  of  The  Bluestocking.    She  accepted  bids 
to  the  following  finals :    W.  and  L.,  S.  M.  A.,  A.  M.  A.,  F.  M.  S.,  V.  M.  I.,  V.  P. 
I.,  and  Churchville  High. 

Suddenly  Ginny  was  called  home  to  take  up  her  father's  work  (who  had  been 
compelled  to  retire  to  an  institution  for  several  years  to  come),  and  Ginny  didn't 
graduate. 

Moral:    "Not  everything  comes  to  her  who  waits." 


Mary  had  a  dollar  bill. 
In  her  pocket  one  day. 

She  went  up  to  the  candy  store 
And  ate  her  bill  away. 


Heimbach  :     Virginia,  who  was  that  gentleman  you  had  a  date  with  last 
night  ? 

V.  CoBLENTZ :    That  wasn't  a  gentleman — that  was  a  cadet. 


The  following  was  clipped 
from  one  of  Billy's  letters  to  Dot- 
tie  :  "If  I  don't  hear  from  you  to- 
night they'll  be  dragging  Gypsy  Hill 
Lake  for  my  body  and  I'll  be  sound 
asleep  in  bed." 

First  Dumbell:  Are  you  let- 
ting your  hair  grow  out? 

Second  Dumbell  (sarcastical- 
ly) :  No,  it's  just  one  of  those  long 
bobs. 

L.  Thomas:  What  did  you 
get  for  graduation  ? 

P.  Stewart:  Did  you  see 
those  squirrel  coats  at  Palais  Royal  ? 

L.  Thomas  :    Yes,  yes ! 

P.  Stuart  :  Well,  I  got  a  yel- 
low slicker.

PRETZELINA  SNITZEL  AT  BOARDING 
SCHOOL 

OR 

THEN  THE  FUN  BEGAN 


He  :    "You  are  so  light  on  my  feet." 


Little  Pretzelina  Snitzel,  commonly  known 
as  Pollyanna,  the  girl  with  a  smile,  came  hippity,  hoppety,  crash,  bang,  slide,  right 
down  the  steps  that  led  into  the  dining  room.  "I'm  so  glad,"  she  cired,  picking  up 
herself — also  a  tooth  knocked  out  by  the  fall,  "for  I'm  down  sooner  than  I  ex- 
pected," and  with  a  smile  ran  into  the  dining  room  and  seated  herself  at  the  table. 
"Goody,  goody,  goody,"  she  cried.  "Isn't  this  just  angel !  Beans  again !  Now  we 
won't  have  them  tomorrow  (maybe!)  I'm  as  happy  as  a  louse."  And  dispelling 
witli  her  usual  cheerfulness,  all  her  doubts,  she  fell  upon  her  bread  and  gravy 
with  great  gusto,  never  once  thinking  of  her  diet.  Upon  leaving  the  dining  room 
she  thought  how  much  joy  it  would  give  her  little  college  mates  if  she  were  to  play 
a  college  prank  upon  her  teacher.  "Yes,  indeed !  That  would  just  be  the  thing — 
a  college  prank !"  So  sneaking  stealthily  into  the  teacher's  room,  she  poured  a 
whole  bottle  of  Listerine  into  her  teacher's  shoes,  all  the  while  laughing  at  her  own 
little  prank.  And  the  day  before  she  had  nailed  the  dean's  shoes  to  the  floor  of  the 
closet.    She  was  such  a  little  trickster ! 

Now  we  will  leave  Pretzelina  and  continue  her  college  pranks  in  next  week's 
issue. 


Do  you  care  if  I  smoke  ? 
I  don't  care  if  you  bum. 


Kingman   (in  note  to  F.  Bondurant  in 
Is  that  a  "E.  X."  ring  you  have  on? 
Bondurant  :    No,  it's  Sigma  Chi. 

"A  bird  in  the  hand  is  bad  table  manners."

WHY  DOGS  CANNOT  SPEAK 

(From  "Things  Japanese") 

Formerly  dogs  could  speak.  Now  they  cannot.  The  reason  is  that  a  dog 
belonging  to  a  certain  man,  a  long  time  ago  inveigled  his  master  into  the  forest, 
under  the  pretext  of  showing  him  game,  and  there  caused  him  to  be  devoured  by  a 
bear.  Then  the  dog  went  to  his  master's  widow  and  lied  to  her,  saying,  "My 
master  has  been  killed  by  a  bear.  But  when  he  was  dying  he  commanded  me  to  tell 
you  to  marry  me  in  his  stead."  The  widow  knew  that  the  dog  was  lying,  but  he 
kept  on  urging  her  to  marry  him.  So,  at  last,  in  her  grief  and  rage  she  threw  a 
handful  of  dust  into  his  open  mouth.  This  made  him  unable  to  speak  any  more, 
and  therefore  no  dog  can  speak  even  to  this  very  day.  And  so  it  is  with  our  own 
Ham  and  Jam,  according  to  Wiggam's  "New  Decalogue  of  Science." 

Miss  Williamson  (tapping  dismissal  bell  in  chapel) :  All  those  taking 
exams  today  pass  out  first. 

"All  things  come  to  him  who  orders  hash." 

Mother  (calling  daughter)  :  Kaskareta,  Kaskareta,  oh,  Kaskareta — come 
here!  (And  the  little  girl  came  running  to  her  mother,  because  Kaskareta  was 
hername.) 

B.  Stone  (in  writing  to  her  boy  friend)  :  Just  finished  washing  eighteen 
pairs  of  hose? 

B.  F.  (in  answering  letter)  :  What  are  you,  anyway — a  centipede  or  the 
washerwoman  for  the  school?

No  answer.

tlnan  1  am,  haven't  you.'' 

H.  Sellers:     1  heard  \ou  the  first  time — I  was  just  trying  to  think. 


iIGH  School  and  College  Annuals  have  come 

H§^  to  be  recognized  as  an  institution.  Year  hv 
^  year  they  are  growing  in  importance  and  in 
^sx«BSX«Bsa«a^  number.  They  are  growing,  too,  in  beauty 
WH^^iS^^a^st^SiSs  jj^(j  character,  so  that  many  high  school  an- 
nuals now  excel  the  books  issued  from  colleges  a  few  years 
ago.    In  this  advancement  we  have  had  no  small  part. 

For  more  than  fourleen  _\ears  we  have  been  helping 
create  representative  annuals  for  schools  throughout  \  ir- 
ginia.  and  have  won  a  position  of  recognized  leadership 
among  the  printers  of  annuals.  This  is  one  of  the  many 
piinted  by  us. 

Not  content  to  rest  on  laurels  won,  we  have  worked  out 
plans  to  make  our  service  in  the  future  more  helpful  than 
ever.  Editors,  business  managers,  and  faculty  advisers  are 
invited  to  write  and  give  us  an  opportunity  to  explain  how 
7ve  can  help  them  publish  the  best  annual  they  have  ez'ey  had.
