*A  JFoit6  farewell 


Tae  me  it  seems  but  yestere'en 

Sin'  first  ye  cam  amang  us; 
But  mony  months  have  Hed,  I  ween, 

And  now  ye're  ganging  fram  us. 
We'll  miss  fu'  sair  our  bonny  Dean; 

We'll  miss  ye  gentle  laughter; 
We'll  miss  the  sparkle  of  ye  een; 

We'll  miss  ye  voice  that's  safter. 


We  ken  some  days  o'er  stony  ways 

Ye  tired  steps  hae  wandered; 
Ye've  had  your  fears,  and  sometimes  tears, 

And  ye've  had  briefs  tae  ponder. 
Sometimes,  I  ween,  our  frowns  ye've  seen; 

Our  luve's  aft  been  unspoken; 
And  mony  a  glance,  like  pointed  lance, 

Has  pierced  without  luve's  token. 


But  ye've  been  ours,  and  we've  been  yours; 

We've  eaten  salt  thegither; 
We've  told  our  griefs;  we've  ope'd  the  doors- 

Our  hearts — tae  ane  anither. 
We  canna'  dream  how  it  will  seem 

Nae  mair  tae  meet  at  table, 
Nor  in  "the  line,"  like  auld  lang  syne; 

It  seems  unreal — a  fable — 


Tae  meet  nae  mair  at  even  prayer, 

Nae  mair  in  hall  or  street, 
At  noontide  bright  or  dim  twilight, 

Amid  our  lassies  sweet. 
But  when  we  pairt,  tho'  sair  at  heart, 

We'll  smile  amid  our  tears; 
The  prayer  of  luve  we'll  waft  abuve 

Tae  speed  the  pairting  years; 
And  aft  at  eventide  we'll  pray: 
"  God  grant  we  meet  again  some  day."

Un  Mlemoriam 


k 


When  on  November  5,  1909,  the  soul  of  our  dear  Florence  Brown  slipped  quietly  away  from 
its  earthly  habitation,  the  life  work  of  one  of  God's  truest,  bravest,  and  most  generous  children 
was  terminated. 

The  affection  engendered  of  more  than  four  years  of  constant  daily  association  is  too  deep, 
and  the  sense  of  personal  loss  too  great,  for  me  to  write  of  her  beautiful  young  life  without  the 
deepest  emotion;  yet  I  wish  to  record  some  tribute  to  one  whose  memory  is  a  sweet  inspiration 
to  me,  even  while  her  loss  is  an  inconsolable  sorrow. 

In  the  fall  of  1905  Florence  Brown  came  to  us  an  earnest  student;  and,  although  only  six- 
teen years  of  age,  her  maturity  of  thought,  dignified  deportment,  and  conscientious  discharge 
of  every  duty  placed  upon  her,  so  impressed  us  that,  having  learned  that  she  wished  to  take  up 
office  work,  and  a  vacancy  occurring  in  our  office,  she  was  offered  the  position  of  secretary 
to  this  writer;  and  so  acceptably  did  she  fill  the  place,  at  the  time  of  her  death,  although  a  girl 
in  years,  she  practically  had  control  of  the  financial  affairs  of  the  college,  as  far  as  the  office 
routine  was  concerned. 

Miss  Brown  was  born  in  Chicago,  of  English  and  Canadian  parentage;  was  educated  in  the 
Chicago  high  schools,  supplemented  by  one  year  as  a  student  at  Athens  and  a  course  in  the 
Gregg  Commercial  School,  Chicago. 

She  was  an  only  child,  and  her  splendidly  developed  and  unspoiled  character,  her  unselfish 
regard  for  others,  and  her  piety  and  deep  reverence  for  all  sacred  and  holy  subjects,  are  an  in- 
destructible testimony  to  the  wisdom  of  her  parents  and  the  sincerity  of  their  religious  life. 
Early  in  her  young  life  she  united  with  the  Presbyterian  Church,  and  not  so  much  by  public 
protestation,  but  by  that  best  of  all  tests  of  the  Christian  life  —her  daily  walk  and  conversa- 
tion— she  gave  evidence  of  her  confidence  in  the  faith  that  was  within  her. 

When  the  sickness  which  so  grievously  afflicted  Athens  College  came  upon  us,  some  one 
asked  Miss  Brown  if  she  were  going  home.  Her  response  was  characteristic  of  the  loyalty  and 
devotion  that  burned  within  her  heart  when  she  laughingly  said:  "No,  I  am  going  to  remain  and 
run  the  school."  Even  at  that  moment  the  disease  had  her  in  its  clutches,  and  just  twelve 
days  later  the  Father  took  her  to  her  eternal  home. 

We  sorely  miss  her  cheery,  happy  presence,  her  unusually  developed  sense  of  humor,  her 
companionship  and  loving  friendship;  but  by  faith  in  Christ  Jesus  some  day  we  hope  to  slip 
away  to  join  our  dear  ones  who  have  "crossed  the  bar."  and  there  we  expect  to  find  again  this 
loving,  brave,  unselfish,  noble-hearted  girl.

^Mumtide  Chorus 

Come,  ye  band  of  Athens  daughters, 

Lift  a  song  of  praise; 
Join  in  joyful  adoration; 

Grateful  voices  raise. 

How  we  love  thee,  Alma  Mater, 

We  can  never  tell; 
But  thy  daughters'  lives  shall  ever 

Sing  thy  praises  well. 

Thy  green  campus,  halls,  and  class  rooms; 

Thy  great  columns  four— 
Though  we  leave  them,  Alma  Mater, 

We  shall  still  adore. 

CHORUS: 

Sing  to  Athens,  Alma  Mater; 
Loud  her  praises  tell! 
Hail  to  thee,  O  Athens  College; 
Hail  to  thee— all  hail,  all  hail! 


Bl)£  ^Atyens  ©iris 


What's  the  line  of  dazzling  white 
That  bursts  upon  the  people's  sight? 
It  is  the  wonderful  Athens  girls 
Dressed  in  Sunday  frills  and  curls. 


They  skip,  they  giggle,  they  laugh,  they  sing; 
For  doesn't  this  mean  the  beginning  of  spring? 
And  doesn't  it  mean  in  a  few  more  months 
They'll  be  free  from  demerits — at  least  for  once?

Class  £><vz  (Greeting 


)E,  the  Class  of  1910,  have  at  last  reached  one 
of  those  occasions  to  which  we  have  looked 
forward  for  four  long  years.  "Long,"  we 
may  say,  in  one  sense  of  the  word;  yet  we  confess 
that  each  year  has  had  its  charms,  and  there  have 
been  joys  and  triumphs  which  we  shall  ever  cherish 
in  our  memory. 

So  on  this,  our  Class  Day,  it  gives  us  great  pleas- 
ure to  greet  you  with  a  hearty  welcome. 

Doubtless  it  is  your  interest  in  the  dear  old  col- 
lege, which  we  shall  ever  love  and  honor  as  our  Alma 
Mater,  which  has  constrained  you  to  lend  us  your 
presence;  and  we  are  to-day  proud  of  your  hearty  co- 
operation, and  we  hope  that  the  pleasure  which  you 
shall  derive  fro7)i  these  exercises  may  in  some  meas- 
ure be  equal  to  that  which  the  day  brings  to  us. 

This  is  a  day  whose  importance  to  us  is  second 
only  to  that  one  on  which  we  shall  receive  our  hard- 
earned  and  well-won  diplomas.  From  this  time, 
when  we  plant  our  tree  as  a  memorial  of  our  class, 
the  tie  which  binds  us  together  will  be  knit  even 
closer,  for  more  fully  do  we  realize  that  the  time  is 
growing  sliort  in  which  we  shall  mingle  together  as 
"just  schoolgirls." 

While  in  the  past  we  have  ever  hovered  near  the 
shore  of  life's  sea,  before  the  lapse  of  a  few  short 


months  we  shall  find  our  barges  launched  upon  its 
bosom. 

Because  we  realize  there  will  be  serious  problems 
for  each  of  us  to  face,  we  are  to-day  glad  to  render 
thanks  to  Athens  College  that  it  has  taught  us  the 
lessons  of  fortitude,  perseverance,  and  the  true 
worth  of  a  noble  character,  that  we  might  be  pre- 
pared to  meet  those  vicissitudes;  and  to  our  beloved 
President  we  wish  to  say  that  we  have  ever  been 
led  on  to  those  higher  things  in  life  by  the  inspira- 
tion of  her  tenderness,  sympathy,  and  nobility  of 
character. 

We  go  out  into  the  busy  world  to  fulfill  that  life 
purpose  which  some  of  us  have  cherished  perhaps 
since  childhood — not  that  we  expect  to  become  stars 
of  the  first  magnitude  in  the  world  of  genius,  but 
that,  with  our  smaller  lights  and  in  our  simple  way, 
we  may  be  worthy  representatives  of  this  institution, 
and  that  from  our  lives  there  may  radiate  beams 
which  will  brighten  some  otherwise  dark  and  lonely 
pathway. 

You  are  all  familiar  with  the  fact  that  experience 
is  a  great  teacher,  and  from  our  experience  we  are 
able  to  say  to  the  Freshmen,  Sophomores,  and  Jun- 
iors that  the  ladder  which  leads  to  a  diploma  is  diffi- 
cult to  climb,  and  that  many  hours'  work,  inter- 


spersed  with  tears  and  possibly  an  office  lecture,  are 
sometimes  needed  to  mount  just  one  round ;  but  bear 
in  mind  the  fact  that  just  one  round  is  gained  at  a 
time,  and  at  the  summit  there  is  a  prize  for  which 
we  may  well  strive. 

So  our  advice  is:  Press  onward,  and  in  the  end 
you  shall  realize  that  "he  who  waits  shall  have  what 
he  desires." 


To  the  dear  teachers  who  have  ever  been  our  ref- 
uge and  our  fortress  we  lift  our  hearts  in  gratitude, 
and  may  your  lives  ever  be  as  golden  cups  filled  with 
long  life  and  happiness. 

When  we  have  left  these  halls,  many  things  which 
we  have  learned  will  be  forgotten;  but  though  time 
and  tide  may  roll  forever,  they  can  never  sever  the 
links  wbich  bind  us  to  our  Alma  Mater.

In  ye  days  when  ye  maydens  wore  caps  and  ye  gowns, 

Vive  la  Classica  '10, 
And  Athens  girls'  wisdom  was  ever  renowned,

Class   Jpr0Pb*c? 


I'T  was  my  first  day  and  my  first  visit  to  New 
York  City,  and  I  was  bent  upon  taking  in  all 
the  sights.  After  fifteen  years  of  public- 
school  teaching,  I  had  managed  to  save  enough  for 
the  trip,  and  had  promised  myself  an  indulgence  in 
everything  offered. 

Grant's  tomb,  Central  Park,  Madison  Square  Gar- 
den, had  all  been  visited,  and  I  had  very  nearly  com- 
pleted the  list  of  sights  that  had  been  charming  vis- 
itors for  the  last  decade.  What  next?  My  mental 
and  my  financial  condition  rebelled  at  a  return  to 
Greenbrier  yet.  The  spirit  of  the  metropolis  was  in 
my  veins,  and  I  longed  for  something  new.  Then  it 
was  that,  glancing  skyward,  I  saw  a  sign  on  the 
top  of  a  one-hundred-and-ninety-nine-story  building 
which  was  a  direct  answer  to  my  prayers.  It  read: 
"All  Around  the  World  in  Twenty-four  Hours  in 
the  Wrightless  Aeroplane  for  $5."  Aeroplanes  are 
things  only  read  of  in  Greenbrier;  so  I  saw  a  chance 
here  to  eclipse  all  previous  sight-seers.  Their  man- 
ager, in  his  roofarge  on  the  top  of  this  one-hundred- 
and-ninety-nine-story  building,  promised  me  a  great 
trip  the  next  day. 

"All  aboard  of  our  one-millionth-bird-power  ma- 
chine!" cried  the  conductor  in  his  aeroplane;  and 
we  promptly  sailed  forth.  ' '  The  first  point  of  inter- 
est," he  said,  before  I  had  time  to  catch  my  breath 
and  adjust  my  veil,  "is  the  most  noted  glue  factory 
in  the  world,  which  is  under  the  proprietorship  of 


Miss  Susie  Glenn. ' '  Why,  that  must  be  our  dear  lit- 
tle Susie  of  1910  at  the  old  Athens  College.  I  well 
remembered  how  sticky  she  was  in  those  days,  and 
how  she  numbered  her  crushes  by  the  score.  But  to 
go  into  the  business  in  such  a  wholesale  fashion! 

Then  the  Atlantic !  The  beauty  of  the  view,  how- 
ever, could  not  turn  my  thoughts  from  Susie  and 
the  Class  of  1910.  Where  were  they  all?  I  was 
aroused  from  my  reverie  by  the  conductor  shout- 
ing: "Liverpool!  Below  you  get  a  glimpse  of  the 
city  noted  for  its  manufacturing  interests.  Here, 
too,  they  suffer  from  the  same  calamities  which  be- 
set our  American  industries.  At  present  there  is  a 
strike  on  at  the  Lacy  Jabot  Company  which  prom- 
ises to  threaten  the  neckwear  of  the  world.  The  inter- 
ests of  the  operatives  are  being  stanchly  advocated 
by  a  Miss  Ozie  York,  who  is  the  champion  jabot 
maker  of  the  world. "  Our  Ozie!  She  always  wore 
a  scrap  of  something  ornamenting  the  front  of  her 
collar,  and  always  spoke  enthusiastically  of  ours. 
Her  love  of  feminine  frumpperies  had  claimed  her 
at  last. 

Europe  was  passed  over  unnoticed.  Then  Asia! 
Just  as  we  were  in  sight  of  Tibet,  a  sailor  beside  me 
mentioned  the  great  work  that  was  being  done  in 
this  land  by  one  of  our  American  women — Miss  Ma- 
bel Waters — in  the  interest  of  woman 's  rights.  Ma- 
bel! Why,  I  remember  her  intense  interest  in  our 
Wednesday  evening  Tibet  study;  but  for  her  life 


work!  Probably  some  of  the  many  advantages 
which  women  possess  over  men  attracted  her.  Who 
knows?  How  I  would  like  to  have  taken  a  drop 
down  to  see  her!  But  the  ticket  did  not  permit  of 
' '  dropovers. ' ' 

Already  the  voice  called  me:  "We  will  now  take 
a  side  sail  over  Africa,  following  the  course  made  by 
our  President  Roosevelt  in  years  gone  by.  This 
course  has  been  made  a  race  track  by  American  lec- 
turers since  then  in  their  chase  for  information  con- 
cerning his  trip.  The  most  famous  of  these  seekers 
is  I.  H.  Merkel,  who  is  now  making  a  second  investi- 
gation in  order  to  prepare  a  supplement  for  her  book 
entitled  'The  Truth  About  Teddy's  Chase  After  Big 
Game.'  "  What  next,  I  could  not  imagine.  The 
mention  of  names  unknown  to  me  hardly  reached  my 
ears,  so  preoccupied  was  I  in  my  thoughts  of  Irene. 
Her  experience  with  the  Oracle,  no  doubt,  was  re- 
sponsible for  this  work. 

We  had  even  arrived  over  San  Francisco  before  I 
recovered  sufficiently  to  listen.  "In  this  city  the 
greatest  trial  of  the  century  is  being  conducted.  Mr. 
I.  Cheatem,  of  the  firm  U.  Grabem  &  I.  Cheatem,  has 
been  convicted  of  the  embezzlement  of  this  firm. 
Rumors  have  reached  society  that  the  wife  of  Mr. 
Cheatem  is  really  the  responsible  member  of  this 
daring  scheme.  Mrs.  Beth  Taylor  Cheatem  has  been 
in  the  social  ascent  for  years,  and  this  affair  was  the 


climax  of  her  arrival  at  the  top  of  the  ladder." 
Surely  he  didn't  mean  our  Beth,  but  in  his  descrip- 
tion of  her  I  could  not  fail  to  recognize  a  certain 
member  of  our  class.  Now  I  remember  how  she  did 
not  hesitate  to  star  in  her  class  of  "History  of  Art," 
even  if  she  received  the  honor  at  the  expense  of 
her  fellow-mates.  But  fifteen  years  makes  a  differ- 
ence. 

"Chicago!  Marshall  Field's!  Sears-Roebuck! 
Sawyer  Bread  Company!"  "Did  you  say  'Saw- 
yer?' "  "Yes,  the  P.  Sawyer  Bread  Company; 
bread  rises  while  you  wait;"  and  other  wholly  un- 
known assertions  to  my  Greenbrier  ears.  Pearle 
did  frequent  the  Athens  Bakeiy  in  those  old  days, 
in  spite  of  the  fact  that  she  did  not  have  the  fever 
excuse.  If  she  has  the  old  taste  for  bakery  prod- 
ucts, I  doubt  the  amount  of  her  profits. 

"Soon  home!"  our  informer  cried;  and  I  almost 
gave  a  sigh  of  relief.  Such  a  day!  Why,  it  had 
food  for  thought  sufficient  for  a  century  at  Green- 
brier. "Here  we  are!  The  Statue  of  Liberty,  Wall 
Street  Exchange,  and — tickets,  please ! ' ' 

Then  "bang!"  went  something.  "Where  am  I? 
What  is  it?" 

"Get  up!"  said  Mabel.  "This  is  Class  Day,  and 
you  must  hustle  if  you  get  your  prophecy  written  in 
time  to  plant  that  tree.  March  4  is  positively  the 
last  day,  you  know. ' ' 

PROPHET,  '10. 


(Tlass  ~!poem 


In  the  early  fall  of  1906, 

When  all  the  world  seemed  drear, 
'Twas  whispered  in  the  college  halls: 
"  Hurrah!     Class  '10  is  here!  " 

"  Out  of  the  Everywhere  into  the  Here  " 
Had  come  this  mighty  class 
That  in  the  future  was  to  change 
The  records  of  the  past. 


Yes,  "  out  of  the  Everywhere  into  the  Here  " 

They  came  with  shouts  of  glee; 
And  even  the  Seniors  forgot  to  look  wise, 

And  lost  their  dignity. 

And  Jupiter  from  Olympus'  heights 

Smiled  when  he  saw  this  class; 
For  now  quoth  he:  "  Some  fun  there'll  be 

In  rivaling  my  lass. 

"  Minerva  has  no  show  at  all 
In  wisdom  up  to  date. 
Class  '10  will  smile  and  win  the  prize. 
Minerva,  you're  too  late. 

"And  even  Juno,  pure  and  fair, 
Will  blush  to  vie  with  the  few 
In  beauty  who  will  ever  shine 
As  Class  of  '10  must  do. 


"  The  giant  oaks  will  nod  their  heads, 
And  sigh  as  ne'er  before, 
When  1910  has  passed  away — 
The  mournful  sigh:  'No  more.'" 

POET,  '10. 


Kutor?  of  tbe  Class  of  1910 


|INCE  the  mind  of  a  historian  is  not  permitted 
to  wander  into  the  realm  of  imagination  to 
the  extent  of  painting  our  past  in  glowing  col- 
ors, I  have  collected  merely  some  facts  that  will  re- 
veal the  true  importance  of  our  illustrious  class. 

Before  a  girl  finishes  the  course  at  Athens  College 
she  has  a  rough  and  stony  path  to  tread.  The  larger 
stones  on  this  path  are  those  called  "demerits," 
"4's,"  and  "examinations."  But  there  are  some 
beautiful  flowers  scattered  here  and  there,  and  these 
brighten  the  way  and  hide  the  ugly  stones.  So  many 
have  been  the  pleasures  of  the  past  four  years  that 
the  girls  of  the  Class  of  1910  are  of  the  opinion  that 
the  flowers  on  their  path  are  far  more  numerous  than 
the  stones. 

In  September,  1906,  when  many  young  girls  were 
admitted  as  Freshmen,  the  Class  of  1910  was  organ- 
ized. The  college  was  in  a  very  prosperous  condi- 
tion. The  two  previous  years  had  been  successful, 
and  the  outlook  for  the  future  was  bright.  And  so 
the  members  of  the  Faculty  were  happy;  but  the 
"Freshies"  were  far  happier,  because  we  were  fax 
enough  advanced  to  leave  the  subcollegiate  depart- 
ment and  to  enter  college.  We  felt  that  we  could 
advance  much  more  rapidly  after  this  important 
step;  and  although  examinations  came  in  such  quick 
succession,  and  there  was  a  demerit  ready  for  us 
every  time  we  turned  to  the  left  or  right  of  the  path 


made  for  us  to  tread,  and  our  lessons  were  very  dif- 
ficult, yet  the  year  passed  very  pleasantly  and  profit- 
ably; and  when  we  left  in  May  with  certificates  of 
promotion  to  the  Sophomore  Class,  we  felt  that  all 
our  labor  had  not  been  in  vain. 

Our  work  as  Sophomores,  while  very  interesting 
and  pleasant,  was,  nevertheless,  the  most  difficult  of 
any  in  our  school  life;  but  we  were  so  elated  over  the 
fact  that  we  were  Sophomores,  and  that  there  were 
only  two  more  years  before  our  graduation,  that  we 
felt  equal  to  any  task.  We  were  still  more  jubilant 
when,  at  the  close  of  1908,  having  successfully  passed 
those  dreadful  examinations,  we  received  our  cer- 
tificates of  promotion. 

As  the  Sophomore  was  the  most  difficult,  the  Jun- 
ior was  the  easiest,  the  most  pleasant,  and  perhaps 
the  most  successful  of  all  the  years  we  have  spent  at 
college.  We  were  more  contented,  more  inclined  to 
take  things  easy,  and  were  not  quite  so  anxious 
about  promotion  as  in  previous  years;  and  as  the 
time  when  we  should  receive  our  diplomas  drew 
near,  we  felt  more  and  more  our  unworthiness.  Thus 
the  Junior  year  was  marked  by  more  earnest  and 
careful  study  on  our  part.  This  made  the  work  more 
pleasant.  The  fact  that  we  enjoyed  some  privileges 
which  we  had  not  had  before  rendered  the  year's 
work  more  pleasant  still.  But  with  the  pleasures 
came  the  sadness  in  the  realization  of  the  fact  that 


so  many  of  our  members  had  given  up  the  fight  and 
that  so  few  were  left  to  continue  until  the  end. 

Some  of  the  most  noted  events  of  this  year  were 
the  reception  given  by  the  Y.  W.  C.  A.  to  the  stu- 
dents and  Faculty,  the  reception  given  by  us  to  the 
Class  of  1909,  and  the  Seniors'  Class-Day  exercises. 
The  year  passed  very  quickly,  and  almost  before  we 
knew  it  we  had  our  certificates  of  promotion  to  the 
Senior  Class  and  were  dreaming  of  the  time  in  the 
near  future  when  we  would  put  on  our  caps  and 
gowns. 

After  being  admitted  into  the  Senior  Class  in  Sep- 
tember, 1909,  we  found  that  this  year,  with  all  its 
importance,  its  privileges,  and  its  many  joys  and 
pleasures,  had  also  its  sorrows  and  troubles.  The 
trouble  in  the  fall  served  only  to  cause  us  to  redou- 
ble our  energies  and  to  make  up  for  the  lost  time. 
It  also  served  to  bring  us  closer  together.     So  we 


realize,  as  the  time  for  commencement  draws  near, 
that  it  will  not  be  such  a  happy  time,  after  all.  It 
will  mean  freedom  from  books,  it  will  mean  rest  from 
work  and  some  disagreeable  tasks  for  a  while;  but 
it  will  also  mean  the  leaving  of  this  dear  old  Athens 
College,  it  will  mean  our  separation  from  our  Presi- 
dent and  teachers  and  from  one  another.  When  we 
think  of  these  things,  we  almost  wish  we  were  not 
Seniors,  but  Freshmen,  and  could  go  over  our  college 
life  again.  If  we  could,  I  am  sure  that  our  history 
would  not  be  the  same.  I  do  not  think  we  would 
receive  quite  so  many  "2's"  and  "3's,"  and  there 
would  be  fewer  demerits  on  record.  There  are  no 
great  deeds  in  our  history  to  be  written  on  the  page 
of  fame,  but  the  fact  that  we  realize  the  meaning 
and  purpose  of  life  will  enable  our  future  to  be  wor- 
thy of  notice.    Herein  we  are  illustrious. 

CLASS  HISTORIAN. 


Gifts 


You  know  and  think,  as  all  must  do, 

That  gifts  are  very  dear, 
And  like  to  see  them  come  to  you 

From  friends  both  far  and  near; 
But  I  must  choose  the  better  part 

Of  giving,  not  receiving, 
And  bring  to  each  one  of  my  class 

A  token  of  Fate's  weaving. 

No  doubt  each  one  of  you  has  read 

Of  "Alice  in  Wonderland," 
And  how  she  ate  the  magic  bread 

And  changed  from  small  to  grand. 
Now,  by  a  rare  good  streak  of  luck, 

This  bread  I  did  obtain, 
And  treasured  it  with  utmost  care 

That  it  might  work  the  same 

For  Susie. 

It  is,  indeed,  the  queerest  state; 

But  truth's  in  every  word. 
A  maid  there  is  who  studies  late, 

And's  wild  o'er  Math.,  I've  heard. 
Now  any  one  so  studious 

Deserves  immense  rewards, 
And  so  I  give  right  here  and  now 

This  book  on  sines  and  chords 


To  Ozie. 


For  one  who  likes  such  curly  hair 

It  really  seems  that  Fate 
Would  pity  take  and  have  a  care 

To  whom  she  gives  it  straight; 
But  this  maid  has  a  daily  task 

Of  putting  hers  in  curls. 
And  so  I  give  a  bunch  of  "  kids  " 

To  the  vainest  of  the  girls — 


There's  something  that  comes  well  to  hand 

For  one  who  has  to  work, 
And  Seniors  wish  that  it  might  stand 

For  study  which  they  shirk; 
But  only  favored  few  may  have 

This  wondrous  bag  of  knowledge. 
It's  handed  down  to  Mabel  now 

To  help  her  get  through  college. 

A  ship  I'm  sure  will  give  good  cheer 

To  our  missionary  to  be 
When  she  decides  to  leave  us  here 

And  sail  across  the  sea. 
May  it  resist  the  sounding  waves 

And  bear  her  safe  to  land, 
And  carry  our  good  wishes  o'er 

With  Beth,  to  a  heathen  band. 

And  I  have  learned  a  secret  deep 

Which  now  I   shall  divulge: 
There's  one  of  us  would  rather  sleep 

Than  in  other  things  indulge. 
So  I  feel  it  my  duty  clear 

To  present  a  downy  bed, 
With  a  soft  and  easy  pillow, 

Where  Irene  may  rest  her  head. 

May  each  gift  fill  some  long-felt  need; 

May  each  girl  happy  be, 
And  may  each  always  through  life  heed 

This  truth  she's  learned  from  me: 
That  happiness  will  always  come, 

And  then   will   sadness  leave, 
If  she  is  always  giving, 

Not  waiting  to  receive.

Cast  Will  anb  Oestameitt  of  tl)e  Senior  Class  of  1910 


;E,  the  members  of  the  Senior  Class  of  Athens 
College,  being  aware  of  approaching  exam- 
inations which  threaten  the  lives  of  us  all, 
do  here  make  and  declare  this,  our  last  will  and  tes- 
tament, declaring  that  all  former  wills  or  testaments 
made  by  us  at  any  other  time  are  null  and  void  and 
this  the  only  original  and  true  copy  of  the  said  docu- 
ment. 

First:  We  appoint  as  executors  of  this  will  those 
members  of  the  class  who  for  any  reason  may  return 
next  year;  and  if  none  should  return,  we  appoint 
that  member  of  the  Class  of  1909  who  is  still  linger- 
ing about  these  halls  this  year  and  who  may  return 
next  year  to  execute  this  to  the  letter. 

Second:  We  declare  it  to  be  our  desire  that  our 
worthy  Historian  shall  write  up  in  fitting  terms  a 
record  of  the  many  great  achievements  which  we 
have  accomplished  during  the  four  years  in  which 
we  have  held  the  "supreme  power"  in  college  life, 
including  the  glories  of  this  present  day. 

Third:  To  the  Senior  Class  of  1911  we  give  and 
bequeath  all  the  dignity  and  honor  which  is  attend- 
ant upon  that  high  office;  the  right  to  appear  learned, 
as  we  have  done;  and  the  pleasure  of  being  honored 
by  all  teachers  and  of  being  "looked  up  to"  by  all 
students.  We  also  give  up  to  them  the  Senior  row 
of  desks  and  left-over  books,  with  the  injunction  that 
they  must  maintain  the  honor  and  dignity  of  the 
class,  as  we  have  so  worthily  done  this  year. 

Fourth:   To  the  Sophomores  we  willingly  give  all 

Witnesses:   The 


the  advice  which  we  have  collected  during  our  four 
years  of  college  experience,  hoping  that  it  will  help 
them  to  recover  from  their  malignant  disease  of  con- 
ceit and  self-importance,  so  that  by  the  time  they 
will  have  reached  the  Class  of  1912  they  may  be  wor- 
thy to  be  called  ' '  Seniors. ' ' 

Fifth:  To  the  Freshmen  we  hereby  bequeath  all 
the  toys,  trinkets,  dolls,  gay  hair  ribbons,  and 
' '  cases ' '  which  we  may  have  left  from  the  days  long 
ago  when  we  were  called  "Freshies."  We  also  ex- 
tend to  them  our  heartfelt  sympathy  for  the  long 
and  hard  road  of  learning  which  they  will  have  to 
travel  before  reaching  the  dignified  position  which 
we  hold  to-day. 

Sixth:  To  the  Faculty  we  give  the  right  to  make 
the  tasks  for  the  Class  of  1911  as  hard  as,  if  not 
harder  than,  those  they  have  set  for  us  this  year; 
and  we  extend  to  them  a  last  formal  acknowledg- 
ment of  the  help  and  indulgence  which  they  have 
given  to  us,  hoping  that  they  will  continue  their  sin- 
cere cooperation  to  the  end  of  time. 

Seventh:  To  all — teachers,  Juniors,  Sophomores, 
Freshmen,  and  to  all  those  who  do  not  belong  to  any 
of  these  classes — we  leave  the  greatest  gift  in  our 
power  to  bestow — our  memory — and,  with  it,  the 
Oracle  for  1910,  in  order  that  it  may  give  them  the 
satisfaction  of  seeing  themselves  as  others  see  them. 

And  now  we  do  hereby  place  our  signature  and 
seal  on  this,  the  4th  day  of  March,  1910.

The  happy  days  are  come, 

The  jolliest  of  the  year — 
Of  caps  and  gowns  and  dresses  fine, 

And — O! — those  "sheepskins"  dear. 

Where  are  the  books,  the  Latin  books, 
And  Grammar,  French,  and  Math.? 

Ah,  they  have  vanished  from  our  sight, 
With  roses  in  their  path.

Humor  THistor? 


'HE  Junior  enjoys  a  peculiar  place  in  college 
life.  She  has  not  the  fear  and  timidity  of  the 
Freshman,  nor  the  self-satisfaction  of  the 
Sophomore,  nor  the  anxiety  of  the  Senior.  She  en- 
joys the  privileges  accorded  to  upper  classmen,  with 
no  uneasiness. 

We,  the  Class  of  1911,  having  passed  into  that 
happy  state,  no  longer  burn  the  midnight  oil  nor 
"cram"  for  exams.  We  extend  our  deepest  sympa- 
thies to  the  Fresh,  and  Sophs.,  and  bid  them  "keep 
the  faith,"  and  one  day  they  shall  enter  into  the  joys 
of  the  Junior. 

When  we  first  entered  these  walls  that  have  be- 
come so  dear  to  us,  we  were  twenty  in  number;  but, 


sad  to  relate,  some  of  the  more  faint-hearted  of  our 
band  succumbed  to  the  pestilences  of  homesickness, 
plagues  of  exams.,  and  floods  of  demerits.  Six  of  us 
only  have  been  fortunate  enough  to  survive  these 
trials  up  to  the  Junior  year.  Although  we  are  the 
smallest  class  in  school,  we  know  that  it  is  not  quan- 
tity, but  quality,  that  counts.  We  do  our  work  faith- 
fully; and  if  things  get  to  looking  "blue"  some- 
times, we  just  put  on  a  smile  and  remember  that 

"  It  is  easy  enough  to  be  pleasant 

When  the  world  flows  along  like  a  song, 
But  the  girl  worth  while  is  the  girl  who  can  smile 
When  everything  goes  dead  wrong." 

HISTORIAN. 


TJuitior   fiodxn 


I  wouldn't  be  a  Fresh., 

Mere  babes,  who  have  no  knowledge, 
With  three  more  years  to  toil 

Before  they  get  through  College. 

I'd  hate  to  be  a  Soph., 
"Conceited?"     Just  a  little. 
But  why  they  have  conceit, 
To  me,  is  quite  a  riddle. 

"A  Senior?  "     Not  for  me; 
They're  always  in  a  hurry; 
They  care  for  naught,  save  books; 

And  their  brows  are  creased  by  worry. 

I  like  my  Junior  life. 

With  privileges  so  fine; 
I'm  glad  I'm  what  I  am, 

With  no  one's  faults  but  mine.

Listen!     Have  you  heard  the  story 

Of  the  Class  of  1912? 
They  will  win  all  of  the  glory, 

For  at  their  books  they  work  and  delve. 


It  was  in  September,  readers, 

When  their  work  they  did  begin, 

When  this  merry  band  of  leaders 
Began  to  study  and  to  win. 


They  had  given  for  more  knowledge, 
Wealth  and  comfort;  yes,  and  more — 

Left  their  homes  to  enter  college, 
Came  this  crowd  of  Sophomores. 


In  basket  ball  they're  hard  to  beat; 

In  their  studies  they  are  grand. 
Such  a  jolly  class  you'll  meet 

Nowhere  else  in  all  the  land. 


In  loyalty  they  never  lack — 

This  happy  class  of  maids  so  bright. 
Their  colors,  Lavender  and  Black, 

Stand  for  what  is  good  and  right. 


Then  here's  to  the  class  that's  always  right! 

Here's  to  the  class  that's  full  of  fun! 
And  we  will  stand  firm  in  the  fight 
"As  long  as  the  sands  of  time  shall  run." 

POET,  '12. 


Sophomore  (Tlass  Ufistor? 


JHEN  in  the  fall  of  1908  Athens  College  opened 
its  proud  halls  for  the  reception  of  new  pu- 
pils, there  was  never  seen  a  crowd  of  jollier 
girls  to  enter  the  Freshman  Class. 

We  had  expected  to  have  an  easy  time  in  school, 
and  to  spend  most  of  our  time  in  "having  fun;"  but 
at  the  end  of  the  first  month  we  found  that  our 
grades  were  not  so  good  as  we  had  hoped  them  to 
be,  and,  instead  of  "l's,"  there  were  "3's"  and  even 
"4's"  on  our  reports.  However,  these  low  marks 
did  not  cause  us  to  lose  heart,  but  only  served  to 
make  us  study  more;  and,  by  constant  "digging," 
at  the  close  of  school  we  were  the  happy  possessors 
of  promotion  cards. 

After  three  months  of  vacation,  we  were  glad 
when  the  time  came  for  us  to  resume  our  work  at 


Athens.  When  we  arrived,  we  found  that  nearly  all 
of  our  classmates  had  returned,  and  with  them  a  few 
new  members  to  join  us  in  our  work.  And  work  it 
was.  It  seemed  to  us  almost  impossible  to  get  over 
this  rough  path  to  learning,  and  more  than  once  we 
nearly  gave  up  in  despair;  but  with  a  little  encour- 
agement from  our  teachers  and  home  folks,  and  by 
constantly  keeping  in  our  minds  that  well-known 
proverb,  "Where  there's  a  will,  there's  a  way,"  we 
found  at  the  close  of  the  term  that  the  victory  was 
ours. 

Although  this  year  has  been  filled  with  trials,  it 
has  also  been  filled  with  pleasures  which  we  shall 
never  forget;  and  when  our  school  days  have  ended, 
the  recollections  of  our  "Sophomore"  year  will  be 
cherished  in  our  memories.

When  from  tradition  we  did  learn 

That  Freshmen  always  had  been  fools, 

We  said,  when  we  began  as  Fresh., 
That  our  bright  class  would  break  such  rules. 

We  started  right  at  very  first, 

And  ne'er  a  precious  moment  spared; 

We  always  did  just  what  was  best, 
As  our  hard  lessons  we  prepared. 

In  basket  ball  we've  been  the  head. 

I'll  tell  you  what  our  class  has  done: 
It's  met  the  Faculty  on  the  field; 

The  final  score — thirteen  to  one.

We've  shown  the  Sophs.,  and  Juniors,  too, 

That  we  can  be  as  smart  as  they; 
And  even  the  great,  conceited  Seniors 

Don't  dare  to  stand  in  our  bright  way. 

POET,  '13.

;E  haven't  much  history  to  relate,  but  it  is 
only  because  of  lack  of  time,  not  from  any 
fault  in  ourselves.  When  we  reach  the 
dizzy  heights  from  which  the  Seniors  smile  so  con- 
descendingly, we  do  not  doubt  but  that  we  shall  have 
the  most  interesting  history  ever  made  in  Athens. 
We  have  made  a  splendid  beginning,  and  that  is  half 
the  battle,  saith  the  seer. 

We  have  two  of  our  members  on  the  'Varsity 
basket-ball  team,  and  a  large  majority  are  on  the 
first  honor  roll.  Even  those  self-deceived  creatures, 
the  Sophs.,  cannot  boast  these  honors.     Although 


some  might  say  that  the  Freshmen  of  1909-1910  have 
a  ' '  streak  of  luck, ' '  we  feel  that  it  is  due  to  our  own 
merits. 

We  had  the  honor  of  meeting  the  Faculty  on  the 
basket-ball  court,  and  they  proved  themselves  wor- 
thy of  any  foe.  We  trust  they  entertain  the  same 
sentiments  toward  us. 

So,  hoping  that  our  good  looks,  good  luck,  and 
good  nature  will  continue  and  increase,  we  are  pa- 
tiently waiting  (should  I  say  it?),  working  for  the 
time  when  we  shall  don  the  cap  and  gown  and  bid  a 
long  farewell  to  our  Alma  Mater.

Orator?  ^iotes 


.ET  us  say  in  beginning  that  these  are  "Ora- 
tory" notes,  not  "Expression"  notes.  We 
claim  that  "Oratory"  is  a  broader  term,  for 
it  includes  nor.  only  the  expression  of  our  own  or 
another's  thoughts,  but  also  all  speech  arts.  An- 
other reason:  we  are  following  the  Emerson  sys- 
tem; and  as  their  work  goes  by  the  name  of  "Col- 
lege of  Oratory,"  we  should,  as  a  matter  of  course, 
use  their  title.  Hence  our  name.  Before  long  we 
expect  to  boast  of  the  name  "Oratory  School  of  Ath- 
ens College."  Merely  "Oratory  Department"  is  too 
small  for  our  work.  Already  we  have  a  definitely 
outlined  three-years'  course.  At  the  end  of  that  time 
our  pupils  will  receive  a  certificate,  provided  that 
they  shall  have  finished  the  Sophomore  year.  A  pu- 
pil taking  a  four-years'  course  will  be  given  a  di- 
ploma. To  those  who  intend  pursuing  this  work 
after  their  graduation  here  this  diploma  will  mean 
much.  It  will  admit  them  to  the  Senior  Class  of 
many  oratory  colleges  and  to  the  Junior  Class  of 
Emerson.  And  this  is  our  endeavor:  to  so  interest 
and  enthuse  our  pupils  that  they  may  not  be  con- 
tented with  merely  learning  a  speech  or  two,  but  that 
they  may  pursue  the  work  in  all  its  branches  until 
they  shall  have  obtained  that  development  which 
comes  with  a  perfect  understanding  of  speech  arts. 

Our  class  now  numbers  thirteen — not  unlucky  as 
we  see  it,  for  some  of  us  are  doing  double  work;  and 


we  intend  to  double  our  roll  next  year.     The  class 
reads  thus: 

Juniors 

Rebecca  Chandler 

Nelle   Cotten 

Elna   Elliott 

Ethel  May  Hightower 

Mary  Persinger 

Sara   Rives

What  have  we  done  this  year  in  public  work? 
Not  so  much  as  we  expect  to  do  next  year.  Our  first 
play  was  in  course  of  rehearsal  last  fall  when  school 
disbanded.  It  was  a  Hallowe'en  entertainment,  and 
we  had  planned  it  as  a  complimentary  evening  to 
our  friends  in  the  other  departments.  That  play  will 
hold  for  another  year,  however. 

"My  Lord  in  Livery,"  a  one-act  play  by  Theyre 
Smith,  was  presented  Friday  evening,  February  18, 
by  the  members  of  the  Junior  Class.  One-half  of  the 
proceeds  was  given  to  the  Oracle.    A  very  apprecia- 


tive  audience  greeted  the  opening  scene,  which  rep- 
resented a  sitting  room  in  an  English  country  house. 
The  cast  of  characters  was  as  follows: 

Lord  Thirlsmere  (of  the  ship  Phlegethon)    -    Rebecca  Chandler 
Spiggott  (an  old  family  butler)   --------  Mary  Persinger 

Hopkins  (a  footman)   ---------------  Sara  Rives 

Robert  (a  page) __________  Ethel  May  Hightower 

Sybil  Ambersley  (daughter  of  Sir  George  Ambersley)   -  -  -  - 

__--._-.-_______----   Nelle   Cotten 

Laura  )  (     -----------   Bertha  Sanderson 

Rose     }  her  fr,ends  { Elna  Elliott 

In  the  recital  work  the  girls  have  acquitted  them- 
selves very  creditably.  ' '  The  French  Tenor, "  by  H. 
C.  Bunner,  was  given  at  the  January  recital  by  Mary 
Persinger.  The  same  evening,  Rebecca  Chandler,  as 
"A  "Woman  in  a  Shoe  Shop,"  was  enjoyable.  "A 
Man  Without  a  Country,"  by  Edward  Everett  Hale, 
is  a  fine  book,  and  a  good  cutting  of  it  was  read  by 
Ethel  May  Hightower  on  March  25.  Lucile  Crutcher, 
"The  Littlest  Girl,"  is  a  wonder.  Any  one  who  has 
heard  her  will  understand  our  praise  of  her.  She 
gave  "The  Pickaninny"  at  our  March  recital,  and 
she  was  as  dear  and  attractive  a  little  reader  as  you 
can  find  anywhere.  A  two-act  sketch,  "While 
Breakfast  Waited,"  by  Otto  Senga,  was  played  by 
Sara  Rives  and  Nelle  Cotten.  Sara  is  our  very  best 
"man,"  and  always  sets  the  college  girls'  hearts 
aglow.  Let  us  take  occasion  to  say  that  she  does  not 
take  advantage  of  her  ability  to  so  cleverly  imper- 
sonate a  man  to  use  it  for  "crushing"  purposes. 
She  and  Nelle  did  an  attractive  piece  of  work  in  this 
little  play,  and  showed  a  surprising  knowledge  of 
how  things  are  done  where  Love  is  in  charge. 


But  where  we  get  most  enjoyment  is  in  our  class 
work.  The  Juniors  have  three  classes  a  week,  and 
the  Freshmen  have  two.  These  are,  of  course,  in  ad- 
dition to  the  two  regular  individual  lessons.  In  the 
classes  we  study,  primarily,  the  evolutions  of  ex- 
pression. These  "little  red  books,"  as  the  girls  call 
them,  give  the  system  as  outlined  by  Dr.  Emerson. 
It  is  a  system  based  on  the  laws  of  nature,  and  shows 
the  processes  through  which  a  person  should  pass  in 
his  endeavor  to  attain  perfect  power  of  expression. 
To  assist  in  this  work  we  have  classes  in  pantomime, 
responsive  gesture,  and  other  forms  of  physical  ex- 
pression. 

During  March  "The  Reveries  of  a  Bachelor"  was 
given  for  the  benefit  of  the  Oracle.  Sara  Rives,  as 
"The  Bachelor,"  was  visited  by  almost  a  score  of 
memories,  which  were  altogether  delightful.  Dud- 
ley Tutwiler,  as  "The  Western  Girl,"  and  Emmett 
Morton,  as  "The  Gypsy  Girl,"  were  especially  at- 
tractive. 

We  are  accumulating  a  fund  with  which  to  furnish 
our  room.  Some  handsome  book  shelves  are  on  the 
way,  and  several  other  things  of  usefulness  and 
adornment  have  been  planned. 

Our  commencement  play  will  be  "The  School  for 
Scandal,"  by  Richard  Brinsley  Sheridan.  This 
amusing  series  of  laughable  situations  promises  to 
give  ample  opportunity  for  our  girls  to  show  their 
histrionic  ability.  The  picturesque  costumes  of  this 
period  will  lend  an  attractive  effect  to  the  scenes. 
"The  play's  the  thing,"  after  all,  with  girls. 


Sonnet  to  America 

<• 

America,  my  own  dear  native  land, 

How  proudly  do  thy  Stars  and  Stripes  float  o'er 
Each  harbor,  port,  and  bay  from  sand  to  sand! 

May  cruel  bloodshed  stain  thy  soil  no  more; 
But  may  with  loyal  hearts  each  wandering  band 

Forget  the  dreadful  slaughter  and  the  gore, 
And  sing  of  liberty  o'er  all  the  strand, 

And  prosperity  at  each  freeman's  door. 
Dear  land,  I'd  rather  be  a  native  of 
Thy  soil  than  of  any  empire  of  the  globe 
The  kindly  sun  has  ever  shone  upon, 
And  feel,  no  matter  where  my  feet  may  rove, 
I  still  possess  a  glorious  resting  place, 
Ruled  by  the  greatest  people  of  our  race.

^>l)£  Recipe 


Just  take  a  pound  of  fun. 

An  ounce  or  two  of  sense; 
Stir  in  a  little  laughter; 

Don't  have  it  very  dense. 
Wee  tears  will  do  no  harm; 

A  sigh,  a  moan,  a  wail- 
Without  these  accessories 

The  greatest  aim   will   fail. 
And  don't  forget  the  love — 

That  love  of  girl  for  girl; 
Nor  yet  that  love  of  boy 

That  sets  our  heads  awhirl. 


Now  stir  it  and  boil  it  and  send  it  to  press. 
And — lo! — issues  forth   the  finest,  the  best- 
Sir  Oracle.

by  giving  little  entertainments  and  various  other

and  only  wished  she  might  be  with  us  longer.  She 
gave  us  much  encouragement,  and  seemed  to  think 
our  Association  in  a  very  flourishing  condition. 

It  is  our  purpose  to  deepen  the  spiritual  life  of  our 
college,  to  make  our  lives  such  that  they  may  influ- 
ence others  to  that  which  is  best  in  life,  and,  as 
nearly  as  possible,  bring  each  girl  into  the  fold  of 
Christ.  So  let  each  one  of  us  feel  the  individual  re- 
sponsibility of  fulfilling  this  purpose.

I  hear  the  birds'  low  singing; 

Their  songs  are  sweet  and  true. 
The  air  with  their  music  is  filling; 

It  brings  to  me  thoughts  of  you. 

The  zephyrs  are  kissing  the  flowers, 
Tossing  them  in  the  grass  so  blue. 

Flowers,  grass,  and  sunshine, 
All  make  me  think  of  you. 

In  darkest  hours  of  midnight, 

And  all  the  long  day  through, 
The  bright,  the  good,  the  beautiful, 

Bring  to  my  mind — just  you. 

ANNA  DINSMORE,  '12. 


.As  3t  Sometimes  Ufappens 


fT  may  have  been  Fate  that  caused  Jack  Madi- 
son to  be  standing  at  the  foot  of  the  library 
steps  that  April  morning  when  pretty  Nelle 
Ashley  came  tripping  down  them,  or  it  may  have 
been  that  he  had  merely  started  into  that  same  li- 
brary, because,  suffice  it  to  say,  he  was  standing 
there;  and  as  it  sounds  more  romantic  to  say  it  was 
Fate,  let  it  go  at  that. 

Nelle  was  as  fresh  and  dainty  as  the  lovely  morn- 
ing itself  when  she  came  down  those  old  steps  that 
were  ever  afterwards  so  full  of  memories  to  Jack. 
She  was  smiling  a  little  to  herself,  and  it  was  just  by 
accident  that  the  smile  was  still  on  her  face  when  her 
eyes  chanced  to  meet  his.  They  were  great  blue  eyes 
that  could  look  pensive  or  reproachful  or  gleam  with 
mischief,  as  their  owner  willed.  Just  now  they  were 
at  their  merriest,  and  Jack,  gazing  into  them,  knew 
that  for  him  it  was  all  over.  He  stood  where  he  was, 
like  one  in  a  trance,  until  she  had  passed  down  the 
street  and  out  of  sight.  Then  he  drew  a  long  breath 
and  pulled  himself  together.  "Jack,  my  boy,"  he 
said  to  himself,  "you're  a  goner  for  fair  this  time, 
and  don 't  you  forget  it. ' ' 

That  afternoon  Colonel  Moore,  the  senior  partner 
in  the  law  firm  of  Moore  &  Madison,  noticed  that  the 
junior  partner  seemed  strangely  preoccupied  and 
answered  his  questions  in  a  vague,  unsatisfactory 
manner,  and  sometimes  not  at  all.  And  all  night 
through  Jack  dreamed  of  deep-blue  eyes,  tantali- 


zing yellow  curls,  and  a  rosebud  mouth  smiling  for 
him  alone. 

The  following  week  was  a  wonderful  time  to  the 
youth.  He  learned  her  name  through  a  mutual 
friend,  and  at  last  met  her  through  the  same  kind 
medium.    After  that  nothing  else  mattered. 

Miss  Ashley  had  had  many  lovers  in  her  brief  ex- 
istence of  twenty-two  summers,  but  never  a  one  so 
ardent  as  Jack.  He  surrounded  her  with  candy  and 
flowers,  and  besieged  her  with  invitations  to  row, 
drive,  walk — in  short,  every  excuse  he  could  think 
of  for  being  in  her  society.  He  was  hopelessly  lost. 
In  a  month  he  was  a  regular  visitor  at  the  Ashley 
home,  and  it  was  settled,  as  far  as  the  village  gos- 
sip was  concerned,  that  they  were  engaged. 

One  night  Jack  and  Nelle  were  seated  on  a  bench 
out  under  the  trees  in  Nelle 's  old-fashioned  garden. 
It  was  a  beautiful  June  night,  and  the  air  was  heavy 
with  the  perfume  of  the  roses.  The  moonlight  lay 
white  over  the  lovely  old  garden,  but  the  spot  where 
Jack  and  Nelle  sat  was  almost  entirely  darkened  by 
the  trees.  It  was  the  time,  the  place,  and,  as  rarely 
happens,  the  girl.  Jack  felt  it,  gave  his  tongue  a 
twist,  and  cleared  his  throat. 

"Nelle — Miss  Nelle — er — ah — I  am — er — I — that 
is — I  think — er — isn't  it  a  beautiful  night?" 

"Yes,  indeed,"  sweetly  responded  the  girl,  smil- 
ing to  herself;  for  she  knew  the  symptoms,  "having 
been  there  before,"  as  Jack  would  express  it.    He 


began  again,  desperately:  "Do  you  think — er — well, 
you  know — er — 0,  hang  it! — the  fact  is — will  you 
marry  me?" 

He  settled  back  in  his  seat.  "I've  done  it,"  he 
muttered  to  himself,  and  prepared  for  the  worst. 
But,  to  his  surprise,  she  blushed  a  little,  laughed  a 
little,  and  as  by  that  time  he  had  her  hand  in  his  and 
she  was  murmuring  something  in  a  low  voice,  we 
will  draw  the  curtains  over  what  followed — only  let 
it  be  added  that  Jack  was  able  to  drag  himself  away 
that  night  without  the  aid  of  her  father's  boot  and 
actually  slept  fully  an  half  hour  before  daylight. 

For  a  month  Jack  abode  on  Olympus.  He  had 
given  her  a  beautiful  pigeon-blood  ruby,  as  she  had 
often  expressed  her  fondness  for  that  stone.  Just 
inside  the  plain  gold  band  in  which  it  was  set  he  had 
engraved  the  word  ' '  Betrothed. ' '  Jack  had  not  been 
able  to  persuade  her  to  set  the  day  for  the  wedding, 
for  she  always  put  him  off  with  the  assurance  that 
it  would  be  soon.  She  was  so  adorably  and  sweetly 
persuasive  about  it  that  he  could  not  find  it  in  his 
heart  to  be  impatient  with  her. 

When  matters  were  thus,  a  stranger  arrived  from 
the  West  and  registered  at  the  hotel  as  Bobert  F. 
Smythe.  Jack  was  attracted  to  him  from  the  start 
by  his  dashing  ways  and  breezy  Western  airs.  He 
was  a  wealthy  rancher,  and  his  lavish  generosity 
bore  him  out  in  this  statement.  He  seemed  to  take 
a  fancy  to  the  bright  young  lawyer,  and  soon  he  and 
Jack  were  sworn  comrades.  Jack  confided  his  love 
for  Nelle  to  him,  and  Smythe  displayed  such  a  lively 
interest  that  Jack  asked  him  to  call  with  him  that 
night. 


Nelle  was  at  her  best  in  a  pale  lavender  gown,  and 
Jack  thought  he  had  never  seen  her  so  pretty.  When 
he  presented  Smythe  to  her,  she  gave  a  slight  start, 
and  Smythe  also  looked  a  little  queer;  but  Jack  had 
no  eyes  for  anything  but  the  fair  young  girl  before 
him.  For  a  time  the  conversation  was  almost  en- 
tirely between  Jack  and  Nelle.  She,  seating  herself 
at  the  piano,  asked  Smythe  to  sing.  Jack  wondered 
why  she  knew  he  could  sing,  but  said  nothing. 
Smythe  obediently  crossed  over  to  the  piano  and  be- 
gan to  sing.  He  had  a  clear,  very  expressive  bari- 
tone, and  Jack  ground  his  teeth  as  he  saw  the  open 
admiration  in  Nelle's  eyes  and  the  tender  look 
Smythe  gave  her  as  he  sang  "I  Love  You  Truly." 
But,  then,  he  remembered  that  Smythe  was  a  man 
of  the  world  and  accustomed  to  make  love  to  every 
pretty  girl  he  met.  So,  with  such  reasoning,  he  com- 
forted himself;  and  when  they  left  at  a  late  hour,  he 
had  forgotten  the  incident. 

But  this  peace  of  mind  was  not  to  be  his  long. 
Smythe  began  to  be  a  frequent  caller  at  the  Ashley's, 
and  several  times  his  engagements  clashed  with 
Jack's.  He  had  purchased  a  big  red  auto.,  and 
Jack's  jealous  eyes  often  saw  Nelle  spinning  past  his 
office  in  it.  But  if  he  mentioned  the  fact  of  their 
increasing  intimacy,  she  grew  indignant,  and  Jack 
dared  not  say  any  more.  He  felt  that  he  was  doing 
her  an  injustice  to  doubt  her;  but  still  he  could  not 
but  feel  a  little  uneasiness  every  time  he  saw  them 
together  or  met  Smythe  coming  from  her  home. 
Once  he  deliberately  asked  her  if  she  thought  she 
was  treating  him  right,  and  he  said  it  was  about 
time  they  were  married.     "I  have  a  steady  prac- 


tice,"  he  pleaded;  "and  even  if  I  am  not  as  rich  as  I 
could  be,  with  youth  and  love  and  my  strong  right 
arm  to  protect  you,  I  am  sure  I  could  make  you 
happy.    And — " 

He  was  going  on,  when  she  interrupted  him:  "You 
know  Jack,  darling,  that  I  do  love  you,  and  it  is  mean 
of  you  to  doubt  me.  I  don't  care  for  m-money  if  I 
c-c-can  have  you,  and  you  k-k-know  it. ' ' 

Her  head  was  on  his  shoulder,  and  Jack  was  kiss- 
ing away  her  tears.  He  felt  like  a  brute  for  having 
made  her  cry,  and  mentally  kicked  himself  all  over 
Winston  and  the  adjacent  counties.  And  before  he 
left,  she  did  give  him  a  tearful  half  promise  that  she 
would  marry  him  some  time  before  Christmas. 

Nelle  was  very  affectionate  during  the  next  few 
days,  and  Jack  had  nearly  forgotten  Smythe.  The 
touring  car  was  still  in  evidence,  but  Nelle  was  not 
so  often  its  occupant;  and,  indeed,  Jack  began  to 
hope  that  Nelle  would  name  a  definite  time  very 
soon. 

One  morning  Jack  arose  in  a  particularly  happy 


*    * 


frame  of  mind.  Work  had  no  charms  for  him;  so 
he  loitered  about  the  corners,  talking  with  his 
friends  until  considerably  after  his  usual  office  hours. 
When  he  did  muster  up  fortitude  enough  to  go  into 
his  dusty  law  books,  it  was  nearly  lunch  time.  Col- 
onel Moore  was  not  in,  so  he  sat  down  at  his  desk  to 
look  over  the  mail.  One  little  envelope  and  a  pack- 
age, both  addressed  in  a  familiar  handwriting, 
claimed  his  attention.  "From  Nelle,"  he  whispered 
to  himself.  "By  Jove,  maybe  she  has  decided  on 
the  day ! ' '    He  tore  open  the  envelope  hurriedly. 

"Dear  Jack,"  it  ran,  "probably  I  never  told  you 
that  Mr.  Smythe  is  really  my  old  chum  and  sweet- 
heart— Bob  Frank  Smyer.  He  went  West  about  six 
years  ago  when  we  quarreled.  You  know  the  result 
of  his  trip.  He  and  I  have  decided  that  ranch  and 
riches  are  more  suited  to  my  temperament  than  law 
and  love.  We  leave  on  the  midnight  train.  I  am 
returning  the  ring.  Let  me  say,  however,  for  your 
benefit,  that  you  were  splendid  practice.  Regret- 
fully.— Nelle.  ' '

POEM 

Little  bird,  don't  fly  away; 
I  want  you  with  me  in  my  play. 
Let  me  hear  your  pretty  lay; 
Tell  me  why  you  cannot  stay. 

Do  not  leave  your  little  nest, 
Among  the  boughs  so  neatly  pressed, 
But  forever  live  and  sing, 
And  happiness  to  me  you'll  bring. 

E.  ELLIOTT. 


Der  Deutchman  says,  "  Ich  liebe  dich;  " 

The  Latin,  "Amo  te;  " 
The  Spaniard  says,  "  Yo  te  amo;" 

But  'tis  as  clear  as  day 

That,  let  the  words  be  what  they  will, 

In  Latin,  Spanish,  "  Dutch," 
Each  maiden  knows  and  smiles  with  joy, 

For  words  don't  mean  so  much. 


But,  O  you  sweet  maiden  fair, 
Which  would  you  rather  hear- 
"  Ich  liebe  dich;"  or,  "Amo  te;" 
Or  this,  "  I  love  you,  dear?  " 


"passing  tl)e  TDoor 


Midnight  and  very  dark, 

And  by  a  hunger  led; 
And  may  there  be  no  teacher's  eye  to  mark 

When  I  start  to  a  "  spread." 

But  may  they  snore  and  be  so  sound  asleep, 

Not  thinking  that  I  roam, 
When  I,  who  should  be  lost  in  slumber  deep, 

Start  from  my  home. 

Steep  stairs  and  then  a  door, 

And  after  that  I  fly; 
And  may  there  be  no  squeaking  of  the  floor 

When  I  pass  by. 


For  though  from  out  my  room  and  nice  warm  place 

My  hunger  leads  me  fast, 
I  hope  to  see  some  chicken  face  to  face 

When  by  that  door  I've  passed. 


Ol)e    life  of  a  Mlexican  <5irl 


i  EING  kindly  asked  to  write  something  for  the 
Oracle,  I  feel  myself  in  a  dilemma;  but,  to 
please  you,  I  will  attempt  to  describe  how 
we  Mexican  girls  spend  our  time  in  my  dear  native 
land.  We  do  not  enjoy  the  liberty  of  action  that  the 
American  girls  enjoy,  but  it  does  not  trouble  us  very 
much  except  "on  certain  occasions;"  but  you  know 
that  "where  there  is  a  will,  there  is  a  way." 

In  my  country  it  is  customary  to  baptize  children 
as  soon  as  possible.  For  this  church  sacrament  both 
a  godfather  and  a  godmother  are  selected — gener- 
ally aunts  and  uncles  or  very  intimate  friends.  The 
godparents'  duties  before  the  Catholic  Church  are 
that,  if  the  child  is  left  fatherless,  they  will  assume 
both  the  responsibility  and  the  care  of  the  child. 
On  the  day  appointed  for  the  baptism  the  god- 
mother presents  the  baby  with  a  box  containing  as 
handsome  an  outfit  as  possible,  especially  the  bap- 
tismal robe.  After  the  baby  is  dressed  for  the  occa- 
sion, the  godparents  take  the  baby  to  church,  where, 
after  paying  a  certain  amount  (according  to  their 
financial  state),  a  name  is  selected;  and  the  priest 
proceeds  to  pour  the  baptismal  waters  on  the  child's 
head,  then  gives  the  child  a  taste  of  holy  salts,  blesses 
it,  and,  if  invited,  he  joins  the  party  in  order  to  par- 
take of  their  feasting.  On  coming  out  of  the  church, 
the  godfather  throws  pennies  ("centavos")  to  the 
poor  children,  who  keep  crying  for  money  until  the 
baptismal  party  disappears.     Little  cards   stating 


the  parents'  names,  the  godfather's  and  godmoth- 
er's names,  and  the  name  of  the  child,  with  date  of 
birth  and  baptism,  then  are  printed.  A  little  coin  is 
glued  on  a  side  of  the  card.  These  cards  are  distrib- 
uted among  the  members  of  the  family  and  among 
friends. 

When  the  child  is  about  six  years  of  age  or  older, 
it  joins  the  church,  or  is  confirmed.  For  this  sacra- 
ment another  set  of  godparents  is  selected.  The 
godmother  furnishes  a  set  of  clothes  of  the  best  she 
is  able.  The  child  is  taken  to  the  cathedral,  where 
the  archbishop  performs  the  ceremony,  which,  briefly 
described,  is  as  follows:  the  people  stand  outside 
of  the  railing  which  incloses  the  passage  where  the 
archbishop  and  his  attendants  walk,  wearing  the  re- 
spective gorgeous  dress  for  the  occasion.  The  arch- 
bishop pronounces,  or  rather  "rattles  off,"  some 
Latin  prayers.  An  acolyte,  ready  with  a  closed  box 
perforated  on  the  lid,  asks  for  the  amount  of  money 
that  people  desire  to  put  in.  More  than  twenty-five 
cents  is  always  expected.  Then  the  archbishop 
gently  taps  the  child's  cheek  and  crosses  its  fore- 
head with  holy  oils.  The  party  goes  home,  and  a 
special  meal  is  prepared. 

Children,  if  well  off,  are  taken  care  of  by  nurses 
all  the  time.  As  servants'  wages  are  not  so  very 
high,  the  majority  of  the  children  are  taken  care  of 
by  "nanas,"  or  nurses. 

At  the  age  of  six  or  seven  years  children  start  to 


school.  If  they  belong  to  very  strong  Catholic  fami- 
lies, they  attend  a  private  Catholic  school;  if  they  do 
not,  they  go  to  the  public  schools,  where  religious 
subjects  are  prohibited  and  where  a  laic  instruction 
is  received.  They  are  taught  things  which  children 
learn  in  the  civilized,  cultured  countries  of  Europe 
and  America. 

Girls  and  boys  between  nine  and  fifteen,  at  the  lat- 
est, are  requested  to  confess  and  to  take  their  first 
communion.  For  the  communion  a  good  drill  in 
church  catechism  and  prayer  is  gone  through.  A 
godmother  is  selected,  rarely  a  godfather.  After 
the  confession  and  penitence  according  to  its  sins, 
the  child  is  ready  for  the  first  communion.  If  it  is  a 
boy,  he  is  dressed  in  black ;  a  white  bow  of  ribbon  is 
tied  on  his  sleeve;  a  wax  candle,  tied  with  white  rib- 
bon and  decorated  with  orange  blossoms,  is  carried 
to  church.  If  it  is  a  girl,  she  is  dressed  in  white, 
wearing  a  veil  to  the  edge  of  her  dress.  Godmoth- 
ers for  this  occasion  present  their  godchildren  with 
a  pretty  mass  book,  a  rosary,  and,  if  possible,  with  a 
medal  engraved  with  a  holy  image.  Persons,  before 
communion,  have  to  fast;  but  the  children,  after 
their  first  communion,  return  home  and  find  a  table 
decked  with  white  flowers;  a  new  cup  is  filled  with 
chocolate;  and  the  girl  or  boy  enjoys  his  breakfast 
and  tries  to  be  very  good  while  the  impression  of  the 
sacrament  lasts. 

Primary  education  is  compulsory.  Some  girls  fol- 
low different  professions.  Good  schools  of  arts, 
trades,  or  science  are  freely  opened  to  everybody. 
Our  government  is  very  much  interested  in  the  edu- 


cation of  the  common  people.  Night  schools  are 
opened  for  the  factory  people,  and  schools  of  music, 
sculpture,  art,  etc.,  are  opened  to  many.  A  charity 
hospital  or  free  boarding  college  is  sustained  by  our 
government,  and  many  rich  persons  sustain  char- 
itable Catholic  institutions,  asylums,  hospitals,  etc. 
Contests  both  in  art  and  music  are  held  at  the  end 
of  every  school  year,  and  pupils  showing  intelligence 
and  talent  are  pensioned  by  the  government  to  go 
to  Europe  to  perfect  their  studies. 

So  you  find  many  girls  with  their  respective  di- 
plomas in  art,  music,  voice,  manual  arts,  or  as  teach- 
ers. Of  course  not  every  girl  carries  her  studies  to 
an  end.  Some  girls  do  not  like  to  study.  They  had 
rather  stay  at  home,  play  the  piano,  embroider,  help 
mother  keep  house,  primp,  go  to  church  by  all  means, 
call  on  their  friends,  and  be  courted. 

' '  Things  equal  to  the  same  thing  are  equal  to  each 
other."  Little  wicked  Cupid  furiously  hurls  his 
mortal  missiles.  Mexican  girls  do  not  attend  so 
many  parties  as  the  American  girls  do;  and  if  they 
do  so,  they  are  generally  accompanied  by  their  par- 
ents or  by  some  elder  person.  On  Thursday  nights, 
generally,  we  wear  our  "rebozos"  (pretty  kind  of 
silk  shawls),  and  we  go  to  the  parks  to  hear  our 
bands.  You  can  imagine  how  alert  are  both  maidens 
and  youths  to  take  an  opportunity  to  convey  per- 
haps some  speechless  message  or  exchange  glances. 
Most  of  lovers'  talking  before  people  is  with  the 
eyes. 

None  of  our  boys  come  to  take  us  out  at  any  time, 
and  a  boy  does  not  call  to  see  a  girl  unless  he  intends 


to  marry  her,  and  he  is  only  permitted  to  come  in 
the  house  after  some  frights  and  fears. 

Balls  are  very  popular  among  us,  and  anything 
with  music  is  our  great  delight.  We  let  down  our 
dresses  sooner  than  you  girls  do,  for  our  great  dream 
is  to  be  a  young  lady — to  be  addressed  by  all  as 
4 '  sehorita. ' ' 

You  know,  Love  wounds  the  heart  of  every  woman 
in  this  world,  and  we  are  by  no  means  free  from  the 
wounds  inflicted  by  that  cruel  Eros. 

Here  comes  a  little  puzzle  for  foreigners  in  Mex- 
ico. A  boy  makes  his  declaration  of  love  to  a  girl 
through  a  letter,  very  seldom  by  spoken  words,  as 
there  are  hardly  any  chances  for  those  solemn  occa- 
sions to  take  place.  The  girls  receive  letters  by  all 
means  of  communication  except  through  the  mail. 
My !  Those  letters  have  to  be  well  hidden,  especially 
if  you  possess  old-maid  aunts.  It  is  considered  more 
ladylike  not  to  answer  the  first  letter,  but  to  wait 
for  a  number  of  letters,  if  you  have  an  intention  to 
answer;  or,  if  not,  the  letter  is  returned  to  the  au- 
thor. If  the  girl  consents  to  respond  to  the  boy's 
love,  they  keep  on  writing,  ask  for  each  other's  pic- 
ture, exchange  locks  of  hair,  presents,  and  every- 
thing that  is  nice  and  sweet.  Sometimes  lovers  can 
talk  to  each  other  in  the  following  way:  the  girl 
sits  or  stands  in  her  balcony;  the  boy  stands  in  the 
street.    Everybody  looks  at  them,  but 

"  Love  is  blind,  and  lovers  cannot  see 
The  petty  follies  they  themselves  commit." 

So  Mexican  lovers  forget  that  they  are  the  center 
of  attraction  of  everybody  who  walks  in  the  street. 


They  only  watch  carefully  to  avoid  a  meeting  with 
the  girl's  father  or  anybody  who  has  power  to  cause 
fright.  If  a  boy  intends  to  marry,  he  asks  the  girl 
if  she  is  willing,  etc. ;  then  he  declares  it  to  his  par- 
ents and  asks  his  father  to  go  to  ask  the  father  of  the 
girl  for  her  hand  in  marriage.  The  financial  condi- 
tions are  taken  into  consideration;  and  if  all  seems 
favorable,  the  father  of  the  boy  goes  to  see  the  girl 's 
father  with  the  purpose  and  object  of  asking  for  the 
girl's  hand  to  be  given  to'  his  son.  This  interview 
between  the  fathers  of  the  future  couple  is  a  tremen- 
dous one.  Everybody  at  home  is  excited,  not  know- 
ing what  the  result  will  be.  Sometimes  it  ends  in 
serious  anger  on  the  part  of  the  girl 's  father.  It  is 
always  hard  to  give  up  the  girl;  but  if  all  seems  fa- 
vorable, especially  the  financial  state  of  the  boy,  the 
girl's  hand  is  granted. 

After  this  the  boy  may  come  into  the  girl's  house 
and  talk  to  her  in  the  parlor.  Sometimes  if  a  girl 
possess  a  candid  old-maid  aunt  or  other  cranky  rela- 
tives, they  come  in  and  sit  with  her.  This,  of  course, 
is  not  very  pleasant  for  them  to  enjoy  such  select 
company  when  they  had  rather  stay  alone. 

A  date  is  set  for  the  wedding.  The  boy  looks  for 
a  house,  furnishes  it,  and  gives  a  certain  amount  for 
the  girl 's  trousseau.  Of  course  men  do  their  best  on 
this  occasion.  The  presentation  before  the  civil  and 
religious  authorities  is  made  fifteen  days  before  the 
marriage  takes  place.  Certificates  of  birth  and  hon- 
orable witnesses  for  both  are  required.  Our  laws  of 
marriage  are  very  strict  both  in  church  and  law. 
After  the  fifteen  days,  during  which  time  the  names 


of  the  couple  are  published,  great  preparations  are 
made.  Godfathers  are  selected  for  the  religious 
wedding.  The  bride  wears  the  white  bridal  gown, 
her  veilj  orange  blossoms,  and  carries  a  beautiful 
book  of  mass  and  a  rosary  of  pearl.  The  girl  is  taken 
to  church,  accompanied  by  her  godfather  or  by  her 
own  father;  a  beautiful  wedding  march  is  played 
both  by  orchestra  and  pipe  organ,  and  they  are 
united  by  the  bonds  of  eternal  union.  On  her  way 
back  her  husband  accompanies  her,  and  generally 
they  drive  first  to  have  their  pictures  taken,  and  then 


go  home  to  her  parents'  residence,  where  a  dinner  is 
served  in  their  honor  and  a  ball  is  given  after  it. 

After  all  the  feasting,  rejoicing,  and  tears,  the  girl 
goes  to  her  future  home.  A  married  girl  retains  her 
own  name,  and  only  her  husband's  surname  is  af- 
fixed to  hers,  preceded  by  the  preposition  "de" — of. 
Sehora  Maria  Garcia  de  Guerrerro.  She  is  addressed 
by  all  as  ' '  senora. ' ' 

So  life  is  quite  different  in  these  countries,  but  the 
arrows  of  Cupid  wound  the  same.  He  is  kept  very 
busy  both  in  Mexico  and  in  the  United  States.

The  wind  blows  hot,  the  wind  blows  wild, 
Whirling  o'er  sandy  sea; 
Its  ruthless  sway 
And  cruel  way

X3l)e  inevitable 


|T  was  the  dead  of  midnight;  and  as  the  month 
was  October,  it  was  rather  cool.  The  Fresh- 
men of  a  large  Southern  college  for  boys,  hav- 
ing during  the  day  learned  of  a  plot  of  the  Sopho- 
mores to  "teach  those  pusillanimous  Freshmen  that 
they  are  forever  our  inferiors,"  had  fled  from  the 
wrath  to  come,  and  fifty  of  them  were  now  safely 
sheltered  in  the  class  president's  room. 

"We  ain't  so  green,  after  all,"  giggled  a  small, 
red-headed,  freckled-faced  Freshman,  who  was  shiv- 
ering from  sheer  fright. 

"Well,  fellows,  we're  one  on  'em  for  sure  this 
time,"  the  president  said,  as  he  admitted  the  last 
member  of  the  class,  shut  the  door,  and  locked  and 
bolted  it. 

"Yes,  you'd  better  bet  we  are,"  agreed  the  secre- 
tary. 

"Gee,  but  won't  they  look  blank  when  they  find 
all  our  rooms  empty?"  another  Freshman  suggested. 

"We  must  be  quiet,"  the  president  ordered,  "or 
they'll  hear  us,  and — 0! — then  we'll  catch  it." 

"Well,  I'm  simply  smothering!"  exclaimed  a 
rather  fat  member  of  the  class.  "I'd  jes'  about  as 
soon  be  paddled  as  to  smother  to  death. ' ' 

"Well,  if  you  don't  keep  your  mouth  shut,  I'll 
pitch  you  out  at  the  window, ' '  one  of  the  more  slen- 
der members  threatened. 

' '  The  next  one  that  opens  his  mouth  has  got  to  get 


out  and  suffer  the  consequences,  for  they'll  be  com- 
ing—" 

The  president  did  not  finish  the  sentence,  for  there 
was  heard  a  buzz  in  the  distance  that  soon  grew  into 
audible  whispers. 

"I  wonder  where  in  the  thunder  they  can  be,"  a 
Sophomore  remarked. 

How  the  heart  of  each  Freshman  beat  with  joy! 
They  were  not  then  discovered. 

"Whew-w-w!    If—" 

That  was  all  the  Freshmen  heard.  The  next  was 
uttered  in  a  low  whisper. 

In  a  few  minutes  the  Sophomores  left  the  hall  and 
went  back  to  the  campus.  The  Freshmen  thought 
they  had  given  up  the  search.  But  alas  for  the  inno- 
cence of  youth ! 

"We'll  have  to  wait  till  they  get  to  their  rooms 
and  are  good  asleep  before  we  leave,"  the  president 
told  them. 

He  had  scarcely  closed  his  mouth  when  the  sound 
of  muffled  footsteps  was  heard  ascending  the  stairs. 
They  heard  the  Sophomores  moving  about  as  if  at 
work  on  something,  and  fear  took  hold  of  the  Fresh- 
men.   What  if  they  were  going  to  pick  the  lock ! 

These  unpleasant  thoughts  were  interrupted  by  a 
veritable  flood  pouring  through  the  transom,  which 
the  Freshmen  in  their  precautions  had  not  seen  to 
be  up. 


The  Sophomores  had  dragged  up  two  hose  from 
the  campus  and  had  fastened  them  to  the  faucets  in 
the  hall,  and  for  almost  fifteen  minutes  the  "rats" 
thought  that  "the  flood"  had  returned  in  its  original 
force. 

Through  the  windows  the  cool  night  air  blowing 
in  on  the  soaked  bodies  of  the  "Freshies"  was  cer- 


tainly enough  to  have  taken  the  green  off  the  grass. 
The  Freshmen  bore  it  without  a  murmur,  although 
many  of  their  teeth  were  chattering  and  their  bod- 
ies were  solid  icebergs. 

They  awoke  the  next  morning  a  "sadder  and  a 
wiser"  crowd,  but  firmly  resolved  to  even  up.

jFour  TCona,  Pears 


O,  it's  hard  to  stay  in  school 

Four  long  years, 
And  always  keep  the  rule 

Four  long  years! 
For  we  can't  do  as  we  please, 
And  we  know  there's  no  surcease; 
So  we  wait  for  our  release — 

Four  long  years. 


If  it  weren't  for  study  hall 

Four  long  years; 
If  they'd  give  us  basket  ball 

All  these  years; 
If  we  never  did  get  beat, 
And  had  something  good  to  eat, 
It  would  simply  be  a  treat — 

Four  long  years. 


But  the  study  bell  we  hear 

Four  long  years, 
And  defeat  at  ball  we  fear 

Four  long  years; 
And  we  sometimes  yield  the  palm, 
Or  are  stricken  with  a  qualm, 
And  we  simply  can't  be  calm — 

Four  long  years. 


Then  it's  just  the  same  old  thing 

Four  long  years, 
Through  winter,  fall,  and  spring — 

Four  long  years. 
It's  calls  to  recitation, 
And  it's  bells  for  meditation, 
With  but  little  recreation — 

Four  long  years. 


O,  our  task  is  truly  hard 

Four  long  years! 
But  we  look  for  our  reward 

Four  long  years. 
On  exams,  we  sometimes  "  flunk," 
If  we  can't  give  up  our  "bunk;" 
For  we've  got  to  have  the  spunk — 

Four  long  years.

^Vn  October   JDa? 


MISTY  haze  spread  over  the  universe.  The 
sunbeams  softly  penetrated  it,  casting  a 
shadowy  mantle  over  the  day.  The  chatter  of 
the  birds,  preparing  for  their  long  flight  South, 
sounded  distant  and  indistinct.  The  gentle  breezes 
lightly  caressed  each  plant  and  flower,  each  tiny 
blade  of  grass,  each  mighty  tree.  Red  and  yellow 
autumn  leaves  chased  each  other  downward,  weav- 
ing a  magnificent  Oriental  carpet  on  the  soft,  brown 
earth.  Yellow  branches  of  golden-rod  swayed  peace- 
fully to  and  fro  in  the  fence  corners.  Masses  of 
white  clouds,  of  every  conceivable  shape,  piled  up 
here  and  there,  breaking  in  upon  the  blue  expanse 
of    the    heavens.      Fields    of    snow-white    cotton 


stretched  away  to  the  dim  horizon  to  unite  with  the 
gleaming  clouds. 

The  brooks  and  rivulets,  murmuring  sweetly  on 
their  way  to  the  great  ocean,  sparkled  with  the  soft 
luster  of  precious  stones  laid  away  in  their  dim, 
satin-lined  caskets.  On  the  moist  banks  grew  lux- 
urious masses  of  dark-green  ferns  and  patches  of 
velvet  moss.  Occasionally  an  adventurous  squirrel 
appeared  to  sun  himself  on  the  limb  of  the  dead  tree 
in  which  he  had  built  his  home.  Far  away  among 
the  purple  shadows  a  care-free  shepherd  lad  whis- 
tled an  old,  familiar  love  song.  The  reapers  sang 
joyfully  at  their  work  in  the  fields.  All  nature 
seemed  in  a  state  of  melancholy  happiness.

Ve  !fcalla&e  of  $>e   Coste  jprivtlege 


In  ye  olden  tyme  ye  maidens  fair 
Possessed  ye  privilege  so  rare 
Of  faring  forth  unchaperoned, 
And  felt  as  if  ye  earth  they  owned. 

Ye  maids  of  Junior  Class  they  be, 
And  Seniors,  too,  soon  to  be  free 
From  ye  carking  cAre  of  study  hall 
And  answering  ye  bells'  loud  call. 


A  lordly  lot  these  maidens  were; 
Where'er  they  went  they  caused  a  stir. 
Their  wit  and  learning  were  so  vast, 
Ye  feared  such  wonders  could  not  last. 

Alas!  ye  maids  grew  overproud; 
One  damsel  spake  ye  words  out  loud: 
"  I  fear  not  ye  demerits  grim." 
Dame  Pittman  gave  her  one  of  them. 

Another  damsel  loved  a  youth — 
A  comely  lad,  I  vow,  forsooth. 
Quoth  she:  "I  will  a  letter  write." 
Her  privilege  quickly  took  its  flight. 


Ye  others  lost  them  day  by  day; 
Ye  privilege  seemed  loath  to  stay. 
Ye  damsels  wept  and  wailed  full  sore; 
Their  clothes  they  rent,  their  hair  they  tore. 

Ye  hearts  of  Fresh,  and  Sophomore 

Are  gladdened  to  ye  inmost  core, 

For  now  ye  upper  classes  proud 

Are  a  "  sadder  and  a  wiser  "  crowd.  E.  L.  B. 


ZK  "Poem 


The  plaintive  song  of  a  bird  at  eve 
Was  strangely  sweet  to  me — 

A  dreamy  note 

From  trembling  throat, 
More  than  a  melody. 

It  sang  from  out  the  twilight  gloom, 
Sad  as  a  soul's  vain  plea: 
"Ah,  bird  of  air, 
I  know  the  prayer 
Which  thrills  from  yonder  tree." 

The  starlit  blue  succeeds  the  gray; 
Silence  reigns  in  the  tree. 
"Sing  on,  wild  bird; 
Thy  song  is  heard; 
A  heart  is  answering  thee."  M.  I.  M. 


Subconscious  3£rcnn  ^JPork 


jCHOOL  was  proceeding  in  its  usual  quiet  man- 
ner, when  Miss  Moore  entered  the  chapel  and 
announced:  "Girls,  the  judgment  will  begin 
in  one  hour. ' ' 

She  told  Miss  Jackson  to  dismiss  school,  and  for 
the  girls  to  go  to  their  rooms  and  dress  in  uniform 
costume,  and  to  come  to  the  dining  hall  immediately 
upon  the  ringing  of  the  hell;  for  the  judgment  was 
to  be  held  in  the  dining  hall,  and,  as  usual,  the  bell 
was  used  as  the  signal. 

We  rushed  upstairs  in  great  disorder,  but  the 
thought  of  dressing  in  unifonns  never  entered  our 
confused  minds.  Soon  from  every  nook  and  corner 
of  the  building  could  be  heard  the  sighs  and  cries  of 
agonizing  girls.  Poor  old  Florence's  feet  had  for- 
gotten the  spirited,  fantastic  steps;  and  she  was 
kneeling  in  one  corner  of  the  dark  room,  pleading 
that  her  shoe  bills  might  be  blotted  from  the  book 
of  remembrance.  Catherine's  first  act  was  to  tear 
up  all  the  ragtime  music  she  could  find.  Etta  made 
a  flying  trip  over  the  second  and  third  floors,  making 
apologies.  Memory  was  tenderly  caressing  Rene's 
scarred  neck,  saying:  "Rene,  hum,  if  you  will  only 
forgive  me  for  making  all  of  these  ugly  scars,  I  will 
not  fear  the  judgment."  There  were  a  great  num- 
ber of  girls  confronted  by  visions  of  walks  skipped 
and  midnight  feasts  attended. 

The  hour  swiftly  passed,  and  the  old  college  bell 
sent  its  last  warning.     The  girls  crept  downstairs 


and  into  the  dining  hall.  As  I  was  entering  the  door, 
I  saw  some  one  eyeing  me  very  keenly,  whom  I  at 
once  recognized  as  Miss  Pittman.  She  caught  my 
arm  and  demanded:  "What  are  you  doing  going  to 
judgment  without  your  uniform  ?  Of  course  there  is 
no  use  of  you  even  appearing  before  the  judge.  I 
distinctly  remember  this  dress;  it  is  Miss  Sargent's. 
You  may  as  well  come  and  go  with  me." 

This  made  me  very  angry.  I  told  her  that  I  had 
been  engaged  in  something  of  a  great  deal  more  im- 
portance than  dressing  in  uniform.  I  tore  my  arm 
from  her  firm  grasp  and  rushed  through  the  door- 
way. 

In  the  rear  of  the  dining  room  was  a  beautiful 
white  throne,  and  upon  the  majestic  seat  sat  Miss 
Moore.  Around  it  were  seats  for  the  Faculty.  I 
noticed  two  vacant  seats,  and  asked  Beth  why  they 
were  vacant.  She  said:  "They  were  placed  there 
for  Miss  Pittman  and  Miss  Branscomb;  but  as  Miss 
Pittman  started  to  sit  down,  a  stream  of  examina- 
tion questions  began  flowing  through  the  seat,  and 
this  was  followed  by  a  river  of  demerits  which  car- 
ried her  away  on  the  strong  tide,  and,  in  the  at- 
tempt to  save  Miss  Pittman,  Miss  Branscomb  was 
washed  away." 

As  I  gazed  upon  that  awe-inspiring  scene,  my 
whole  past  life  seemed  to  glide  before  me.  Miss 
Moore  cast  her  eyes  upon  me,  and  my  knees  shook 
with  fright.     Impelled  by  some  mysterious  force,  I 


drew  slowly  nearer  to  the  judgment  bar.  When  it 
seemed  as  if  my  knees  would  no  longer  support  me, 
Miss  Moore  pointed  her  finger  at  me  and  said,  in  a 
loud,  accusing  voice  that  sounded  like  the  trumpet 
of  doom : ' '  What  have  you  to  say  for  yourself  f  "  Be- 
fore I  could  answer,  I  began  to  get  dizzy,  everything 


swam  before  me,  I  felt  a  strong  drowsiness  coming 
over  me,  and — 

"Get  up;  second  bell  has  rung!"  cried  my  room- 
mate, shaking  me  vigorously. 

I  woke,  and  thankfully  was  made  aware  that  the 
time  for  reckoning  had  not  yet  arrived.

'Past,  "Present,  and  future 


We  hear  of  the  girls  that  used  to  be 

Sheltered  within  these  walls, 
Their  laughter,  as  ours,  full  of  glee, 

Ringing  throughout  these  halls. 

We  hear  of  the  pranks  they  used  to  play, 

The  demerits  they  used  to  get, 
And  we  wonder  if  in  present  days 

They  look  back  with  sad  regret 

To  the  moments  spent  in  old  A.  C, 
When  the  future  seemed  all  fair — 

A  time  of  only  laughter  and  glee, 
All  sunshine,  with  never  a  care  (?). 

And  then  perchance  we  hear  a  sigh — 

A  sigh  half  joy,  half  pain — 
For  the  days  that  now  are  going  by 

And  can  never  come  back  again. 

We  wonder  what  the  future  holds — 

Just  as  all  girls  will  do — ■ 
And  if  when  the  last  hard  lesson's  told 

Our  dreams  will  all  come  true. 

WYNNE  BOBBITT. 


Sonnet:  Z3l)c  Rising  3&*ll 

O  thou  who  ^endest  from  thee  all  around 
Melodious  tones,  recurring  yet,  until 
Each  girl  is  wakened  from  her  slumbers  still, 
We  welcome  thee  with  joy  sincere,  profound. 
Thou  callest  us  back  to  work  that  we  have  found 
More  pleasant  than  vain  sleep,  in  which  we  fill 
Our  minds  with  idle  phantoms,  and  our  will 
Doth  have  no  part.     A  hundred  voices  drown 
Thy  echoes  with  these  songs,  joyfully  sung: 
"  Is  that  the  second  rising  bell  I  hear?  " 
And,  "Are  you  sure  that  two  have  really  rung?  " 

Then  when  each  is  assured  beyond  a  fear, 
She  rises,  studies,  and,  her  tasks  among, 

Thanks  thee  who  brought  her  back  to  labors  dear.

"^Formation  of  TLove 


Experiment  No.  1 


I'EST  TUBE;  spirit  lamp;  filter  paper;  evapo- 
rating dish;   granulated   attention;  concen- 
trated acid  of  encouragement;  mutual  satis- 
faction. 

Place  in  a  test  tube  a  few  pieces  of  granulated  at- 
tention, and  pour  over  it  5  cc.  of  concentrated  acid 
of  encouragement.  Bubbles  will  rise,  and  a  gas 
known  as  ''sincere  interest"  is  given  off  in  large 
quantities.  This  may  be  collected  in  vessels  and 
preserved  for  future  use.  Now  add  to  some  of  the 
sincere  interest  in  solution  some  of  the  solution  of 
mutual  satisfaction.  Heat  this  mixture  over  the 
spirit  lamp,  and  it  becomes  a  heavy,  dark  liquid, 


which  is  extreme  interest  mixed  with  an  impure  sub- 
stance called  ' '  doubt. ' '  Then  filter  the  solution,  put 
some  in  an  evaporating  dish,  and  heat  it  on  a  sand 
bath.  If  the  experiment  is  carried  on  properly,  the 
doubt  will  pass  off  as  a  vapor,  leaving  a  salt,  which 
is  pure  extreme  interest.  This,  if  treated  with  a 
pleasing  substance  known  as  "constant  companion- 
ship," is  transformed  into  a  tender,  yielding  sub- 
stance recognized  by  experienced  chemists  as  true 
love.  The  reaction  is  sometimes  accompanied  by  a 
by-product  in  the  form  of  a  colorless,  unstable  gas, 
called  "infatuation,"  and  is  often  mistaken  for  the 
true  product.

Charge  of  tl>e  feasters 


Twelve  o'clock,  twelve  o'clock, 
Twelve  o'clock  midnight; 
Down  in  the  Science  room, 
House  as  still  as  any  tomb, 
Slipped  the  gay  feasters. 
"Where  have  the  pickles  gone?" 
"  I  have  just  got  to  yawn." 
"  B'lieve  I  could  eat  till  dawn." 
Such  are  the  whispers. 

Teachers  to  right  of  them, 
Teachers  to  left  of  them, 
Teachers  in  front  of  them, 

Yet  still  they  dared  them; 
For,  roused  by  hunger  deep, 
Up  from  their  troubled  sleep, 
Down  the  long  stairs  they  creep, 

Whose  loud  creaking  scared  them. 

"  Hush!     There's  a  sound  out  there!  " 
On  end  stood  every  hair; 
They  knew  what  fate  they'd  share 

If  the  night  watchman  caught  them. 
Theirs  not  to  reason  why, 
Theirs  not  to  turn  and  fly, 
Theirs  but  to  eat  or  die; 

Experience  had  taught  them. 


'  Shucks,  it's  the  college  cat, 
Hunting  for  some  poor  old  rat, 
And  we  were  scared  at  that!  " 
Thus  spoke  the  leader. 
'  Let's  get  to  work  again." 
'  Those  olives  stick  like  sin; 
I  want  a  long  hat  pin, 

'Cause  why?     I  need  her." 

Crackers  and  cheese  were  slain, 
Cake  passed  away  in  pain; 
They  ate  with  might  and  main, 

While  Faculty  slumbered  (?). 
Then  when  the  grub  gave  out, 
Each  one,  grown  strangely  stout, 
Went  on  her  homeward  route; 

(Their  days  were  numbered.) 

Next  morn  at  breakfast  hour, 
With  faces  drawn  and  sour, 
Seems  by  no  earthly  power 

Can  they  their  tea  stir. 
Hash  has  no  charm  for  them, 
Grits  only  harm  for  them; 
For  Miss  Moore  made  it  warm  for  them. 

Poor  midnight  feasters!

Three  Louises 

SADIE  LOUISE  ESTHER  LOUISE 

CARRIE  LOUISE 

There  once  were  three  charming  Louises, 
Who  were  all  quite  as  airy  as  breezes. 

They  came  to  this  college, 

They  said,  to  get  knowledge; 
But  we  fear  they  were  very  great  teases. 


1. 

The  oldest  of  these  was  named  Sadie, 
By  some  considered  a  "  Lady." 

Her  shoes  were  eights, 

And  never  were  mates; 
And  she  loved  a  young  fellow  named  Grady. 


The  second  in  line  is  Esther, 
And  she  we  never  dare  pester. 
Her  shoes,  which  are  nines. 
She  can  throw  in  straight  lines — 
We  know,  for  we  once  tried  to  test  her. 


The  youngest  of  all  is  named  Carrie. 

She  was  once  very  anxious  to  marry; 
But  her  number  ten  shoes 
Gave  the  young  man  the  blues, 

And  the  poor  wretch  dared  not  tarry.

The  Seniors  have  vanished  in  cap  and  in  gown; 
Diplomas  and  flowers  are  weighing  them  down. 
Exams,  and  commencement  are  things  of  the  past; 
Vacation  and  summer  have  reached  us  at  last. 

No  time  now  for  frolic  and  fun-making  jest; 

I  must  pack  up  my  trunk  and  leave  with  the  rest. 

I've  put  in  my  dresses  and  most  of  my  books, 

My  pictures  and  racket  and  clothes  from  their  hooks. 

But  I  can't  get  it  locked,  and  the  train  is  now  due; 
I'll  just  strap  it,  and  hope  that  'twill  get  through. 
Good-by,  little  room,  sweet  haven  of  rest, 
Dear  friend  of  my  joys  and  my  tears  if  confessed. 

Alma  Mater,  farewell;  farewell  each  loved  spot. 
I'll  never  forget  thee,  whate'er  be  my  lot. 
The  train's  distant  whistle  now  warns  me  to  come. 
Good-by,  dear  old  college;  glad  greeting,  sweet  home.

Money   in   Circulation 

is  as  essential  to  business  as  water  is  to  the 
growing  crops;  as  irrigation  is  to  the  land 
requiring  water,  so  the  BANKS  are  the  great 
irrigating  channels  through  which  money 
is  furnished  to  the  business  community. 

Let  us  handle  your  money  for  you — to  your 
interest  as  well  as  to  our  own. 

Our  BANK  is  owned  and  controlled  by  active 
business  men. 

We  pay  3  per  cent  on  time  deposits.
