Text from Pages 1 - 156 of the 1907 volume:

SECTION E 2%M Agnes Scott Has A Steadfast Friend When Lulu Smith of Dalton pre- pared for her graduation from Ag- nes Scott College in 1919, she had two major concerns on her mind. The college ' s fund-raising campaign and her wedding. She handled both of them with the decisiveness and grace that was to mark her life. She gave up her trip home for spring holidays and sold her year- book and her class ring to contrib- ute to the fund drive. And two hours after she received her diploma, she walked back down the aisle of the college chapel to marry Lamari Westcott, her fiance from her hometown. Agnes Scott alumnae recently honored Mrs. Westcott with its pres- tigious " Service to the College " award. The two young women who were telling me about it marveled that at the age of 90, Mrs. Westcott took over the podium and delivered a lively, humorous and moving speech without a note. I called her — and marveled a little myself at the strength of her convictions and her spirited enjoy- ment of life. " Oh, I don ' t remember how much money I raised by selling my book and my ring and giving up my ' train trip home, " she said, amused at the question. " It wasn ' t much. But I do remember the wedding. My mother wasn ' t well, and that was the reason we decided to be mar- ried in the Agnes Scott chapel. The art teacher had a trellis built for the chapel and covered it with Dorothy Perkins roses from the campus. Eight of my classmates served as bridesmaids. It was a lovely wedding. We left immediately afterward for a honeymoon in the East " Boosters of Knowledge The bridegroom at the age of 22 ' had founded Cabin Craft Industries in ' Dalton, where the bride ' s father, Henry L. Smith, was already estab- lished in the textile industry. Be- tween them, they have been staunch, longtime contributors to education, serving on the boards of Agnes Scott, Martha Berry College and Columbia Seminary. As dedi- cated as she is to her alma mater, Mrs. Wescott sent 16 nieces and great-nieces through other colleges. " I would have loved to see them- at Agnes Scott.

But it worked out that they went to other colleges, and that ' s all right Education is what is important My husband, who died six years ago, al- ways said that if you give a person an education, it is the best thing you can do for them. " Agnes Scott, which will begin its yearlong centennial celebration this fall, was a mere stripling when Lulu Smith went there. Started by the Presbyterian church in Decatur as an elementary school, it progressed to high school status. In 1889, with 63 girls and four teachers, it be- came Decatur Seminary. A Generous Backer In the aftermath of the Civil War, education in the South was " still in disarray, " as Agnes Scott grads point out, and women were .not generally held to need much learning. Col. George Washington Scott, founder of Scottdale Mills, now defunct, thought otherwise, and he made a landmark gift to the school — an unheard of $40,000 — on the condition that it be named for his mother. She was an Irish lady who lived in Philadelphia and, oddly enough, she never saw the school named for her. As elementary and high schools, the institution admitted boys; as a college, it took women only, and to this day is proud that it is one of a drastically diminished number of such institutions in the country. (Twenty years ago, there were 350 ■ women ' s colleges in the Uni ted States. Now there are 95.) In its current program of expan- sion, including a magnificent new Woodruff physical activities build- ing, the picturesque, century-old college isn ' t making a pitch for a wide increase of enrollment. It likes the current ratio of one teacher to eight students. Now with a woman president, the distinguished Dr. Ruth Schmidt, Agnes Scott makes much of its capa- ble alumnae — doctors, lawyers, businesswomen, educators and au- thors — who follow in the footsteps of Lulu Smith Westcott. |MM " ' ■■■■ ■ M m us n Sal 8 19 . aBU i aq " JjJPgf 3 SBM aa oui sbm VW Pf «? iuiw op I ma pasnuie pies a « „ ooq % dn Pgffi SJSi inui itui §UU1 9S Pf ' ,,od 1 ' UO,.

To be poetic, I suppose we ought to say " four long years, " but that would hardly be true, for packed as they have been with hard work, pleasures, trials, and frolics, they seem to have fairly flown by. What a long road there seemed to be ahead of us when we started as a strong band of fresh little Freshmen! The year 1907 seemed to be somewhere in the vast, dim ages of eternity. It is hard to realize that now it is here, that we are on the home stretch, and in a short while shall depart these classic halls, diplomas in hand. We started with enthusiasm, and we finish with enthusiasm, but alas ! though we started with numbers, it can not be said that we finish with numbers. Our ranks have been sadly, often tragically, decimated, and at the finish we find only a tiny remnant emerging from the fray — battle-scarred vet- erans the)- are, too. But these four years — I wonder if we will ever have any happier ones? Of course, we have thought at times that no class ever had such vexations and tribulations as we, but looking back now. we can well see how these have been overbalanced by the pleasures and joys of our college life. Tt must end soon, though, and we leave our college friends, the faculty, and this dear old place with all its spots of happy and tender associations, but we all carry with us sweet memories, friendships, and an untold benefit whose influence will last through life. Ea $e or Nnt tn Ms THE leaves of my book fluttered in the breeze as I sat by the ope n window, absently looking out at the waving branches of an old oak in which a colonv of sparrows were holding high carnival. The spring weather had made my pupils very restless that day and it was with a feeling of relief that I leaned back in the low arm-chair and gave myself a few moments of rest. I looked down at the book I held. It was an old Annual, published the year I left Agnes Scott and the faces of the girls that looked out upon me were all familiar. Could it have really been five years age ? Why, it seemed only yesterday that I had been one of Class ' 07 and these girls my schoolmates. And now what changes had been brought about. Turning over the leaves I came to the Senior Class pictures. The first was a slender girl with dark hair and a disdainful expression. I hadn ' t seen her once since we left school but the little town where I was teaching was not too isolated to get news now and then from my classmates. Miss George had been to a finishing school in Xew York, and since then had held the position of leading society belle at her home. Her pictures had appeared numbers of times in the papers when balls and receptions were given in her honor. Remembering her of old, how could I wonder at her popularity? On the next page was the calm countenance of a second Senior whose career was very unlike Amelia ' s. It was four years now since Rachel Young had decided to go as a missionary to- Africa, and only very meagre news came occasionally to tell us how she was progressing in her work. Irene Foscue ' s business ability had led her into a line of work not altogether unexpected. Such talents as hers could not lie dormant and hardly had she been out of school a year when the position of society editor on one of her home newspapers was offered her. The energetic performance of any duty given her would have made her an eminently successful bookkeeper, but of recent years I had not heard of any change in her occupation. The next picture was that of Sarah Boals. Her career since leaving school was not surprising to me, for her dignity and stateliness graced admirably the lecture platform. Many and various had been her trips through the United States and her speeches had always been received with boundless applause and admiration. She was indeed a " born lawyer, " and I should not be astonished at any time to hear of her adopting that branch of labor, though her attention is will be fully occupied, for a while at least, by the series of talks on the child-labor question to be delivered in Chicago. Louise Chick, unwilling ' to leave her beloved Alma Mater, had decided to remain longer. She went back to Agnes Scott in ' 07- ' 08 to get her degree but ill health prevented. She was holding the chair of assistant science teacher at Agnes Scott when last 1 received news, and expounding with skillful precision the teachings of Physics B. And now T had come to the last of all. A sweet girlish face looked out at me as f held the book closer to the window to get the benefit of the last rays of dying sunlight. I thought of the visit I had paid to my aunt in Memphis when I had seen the home of this classmate of mine. It was a little vine-covered cottage with roses nodding their heads over the threshold, and as I looked strains of music came to my ears. The quiet peace seemed a fitting surrounding for her and the flowers and music made me sure that there had been little change in the Elizabeth we loved in days gone by. It was too dark to see any longer and I closed the book with a sigh. Five years had brought many things to pass but who could say what the future might still hold in store for Class ' 07? C. E. P.

In fact, we did not become a regularly organized class until Soph. year. Of the eight of us that there now are, only three. Charlotte Ramspeck. Vera Holley and Catherine Dean, remain of the class that entered the College in 1904 ; three, Lill Phillips, Farris Davis, and Lizzabel Saxon, dropped back from the Class of ' 07 in order to make their degree, and Elva Drake and Jeanette Brown entered as Sophomores. Others there were at different times who belonged to the Class, but for one reason or another they dropped out, among them our last year ' s President. At our first meeting this year there were only seven present, so we made each one an officer and nobody felt left out. Since then, two of the Class of ' 07 have decided to take their degrees with us. though they have not regularly- joined the Class. ( )ur class pins of Freshman year had been lost and we could get no more, so at a class meeting we all decided on a new pin, which has been pronounced the prettiest in the College (of course). Otherwise we have had no history to record, but we are making history, and the Class Historian in 1908 will have a far larger job than the present one. ■Historian. npljflmnr?

Fun-loving Sophomores, but strenuous workers nevertheless !

So you thought to catch the Sophs, napping and trample their flag in the dust ? Not so ! We are never taken unawares, the daring Soph, is ever ready for the fray and victory always lends her steady hand to crown them with success. October saw a scene of wild confusion — Sophs, and Freshies in battle array, but alas! our enemies often would fain leave the field and seek refuge from the foe. Doors and windows were locked, large gatherings of the enemy sought the shelter of one room, and as the furious face of a Soph, appeared above the transom, little frightened creatures crawled Under the beds. Great way of fight- ing, that ! " What an original class! " our Seniors all cried, the day after the Hallowe ' en party, but that wasn ' t a circumstance ! There were greater things in store for them, likewise for the unthinking Freshmen and easy-going Facultv. What should they see one bright morning but Soph.

Even though it had to be painted over afterward, still we gave in graciously enough when we understood that it put the Freshies ' lives in danger as they might try climbing, and alas ! come to a sad and bitter end !

The Freshmen have won the admiration of all (except, of course, that of the Sophomores). And, as for there being some learned ones in " the illustrious Class of 1910, " they do not have to say it for themselves. Upon the subject of class spirit, the Freshmen can give any information desired, and volumes could be filled with incidents proving the ardent energy which the Class as a whole has shown. Only one need be mentioned here. It was on Hallowe ' en. — The Sophs, were giving a grand party to our " Dig- nified Seniors, " not dreaming that anything was brewing against them in the Freshies ' minds. Nevertheless, the Freshmen thought it their best chance to get even with them, so they gathered in Rebecca Scott Hall, and took in each room. Snuff, pepper and salt was not spared upon the beds, and the general appearance of the rooms, when they withdrew, was as if a terrible cyclone had swept through, mixing things profusely in the middle of the floor. They all experienced a verv unrestful night, for at unexpected times, they were awakened by loud sneezing in the far parts of the building. Just a week before, the Sophs, had attempted to overpower the weak, insignificant Freshmen and give them a hazing, but thev, being a little sharp, understood all their flurrying around and kept out of the way. for being " newies, " they were not well equipped to meet the armed forces of the Sophs. ; but now, with their enlightenment upon the subject, they stand ready and waiting to meet any foe. The Freshmen do not dwell solely, however, on foolish- ness, but in other ways do they endeavor to gain a name for themselves. A complete history of the Freshmen would fill much more than the allotted space in the Annual, so their motto, " Esse qitaui videri, " must here suffice to set forth the guiding motive of each member of the Class Historian. !r partmmt OkaiUtatrs 1 ELIZABETH WYLLY BESSIE SEWTELL MUSIC MARY ELIZABETH CURRY MUSIC Urijmtii thr IGtur I MET her at a dance given by the Springfield Country Club, and a few nights later as we strolled together down the broad, cool veranda of the — Hotel, I had a chance to study her a little. She had seemed a queer person to me from the first. There was certainly something unusual about her, a something that lurked beneath her very soul, for at times as I looked her earnestly in the face I noticed that the soft bright eyes grew dim. a frightened look overspread the eager, pretty face, and she turned her head awav quickly and for some minutes seemed lost in deep reflections. Something was worrying her, I felt certain, but curious though I was, I con- sidered it entirely too inquisitive to question her. She was a young girl, tall and pale, with light brown hair and a soft impetuous voice that mingled pleasantly with the gentle whisperings in the old pines. Her every movement was full of grace, and I watched her entranced as she walked along in the clear moonlight. lone Windermere ! The very name suggested the breath of quaint romance, the still music of songs unutterable. " Why so pensive, Air. Holmes? " she asked, in her wonderful, soft voice. " O, I was merely thinking, Miss Windermere, " I replied, looking " full into her large, dark eyes. " Too much engrossed with your own thoughts to talk to me. 1 suppose. () well, men are funny creatures, but many of their faults are excusable. ' ' " ( ), not at all. I was thinking of you this time, you see. " She looked into my eyes, a faint color suffused the pallor of her cheeks. As she looked I saw the same old expression creeping into her face, her eyes grew dim, they seemed in a moment to look past me to a vague something beyond which Ik Id her as if she were hypnotized. Then she turned quickly, at the same time swaying so that she would have fallen had I not caught her. She was herself again in a moment, however, but someone called her just then and we went inside, where a crowd immediately surrounded her and 1 was left to mv own reflections. I saw her a good deal after this and we grew quite chummy, I might almost say confidential. I liked her and admired her much more than the average summer girl, and she seemed to like me, too, fairly well. She was " bully " where athletics were concerned, and we rode, drove, and played tennis together, and had an all-round jolly time of it. I noticed that when her mind was well occupied she seldom took on the old, queer expression ; it was only when we strolled meditatively along, or when I happened to see her walking alone that these peculiar sensations took hold of her. One night we had been sitting out under the trees together for quite a while, talking of commonplace things, when all of a sudden she asked, " Mr. Holmes, would you think it very peculiar of me if I confided to you something that to me is so very serious that it has been worrying me for some time? " I jumped at the chance of hearing an explanation of what I had been curious to know ever since I met her. " You won ' t think me silly? Really, it may sound ridiculous, you know, but then it is not so to me, it is truly terrible ! " I noticed that she shivered a little when she said these last words. " Well, go ahead, Miss Windermere, " I said gently, " you have a very appre- ciative and sympathetic listener, I assure you. " She caught her breath for a moment as she said, " You see, I have never told anvone this before and it is very hard, " I nodded assent and she went on. " The main thing is, Mr. Holmes, that I feel as if something awful is in store for me in the near future. I can not express to you my feelings on the subject, but at times they are so awful that I am almost crazy. When I am with someone, or my mind is pleasantly occupied, I seldom have these sensations, but when I am alone — then it is terrible. A sort of dizziness seems to come over me, and often for minutes I do not know where I am. I feel as if I am going I know not where, as if mind and spirit and body were entirely separate. My body seems to be there, but my spirit is not, and there is absolutely no connection between the two. Something in space holds me as if mesmerized, but I see nothing, I feel nothing, I hear nothing. When I am alone and feel this way it takes all the energy I possess to reach the door and open it if 1 am in my room, or to get where some one else is if I happen to be out anywhere. It seems that human beings arouse me to a certain extent after one of these attacks, but it is most awful and most unpleasant. I am positive that if anything happened to prevent my reaching some one after an attack like this, that I should die unquestionably, for I came so near it once that it makes me shudder when I think of it. That is my story, Mr. Holmes, foolish if you like, but really now, do you see any cause for such feelings ? " " Why, no, Miss Windermere, " I replied, " possibly you are a little nervous, may be a change would do you good, and yet you look perfectly healthy to me. " " I am, " she answered, " and that is what worries me, that I shoul d be so well and vet have such horriblv morbid emotions. " " Don ' t think about it, " I said, " you ' ll be all right. We ' ll have a great old time of it here this summer and see if we can ' t drive away some of those feelings, and by autumn you ' ll have forgotten all about it. " I noticed that she seemed very tired, unusually so, and as she looked out over the hills the old expression was creeping over her face. " Don ' t, " I said gentlv, " let ' s go in, I know you are tired, for we took a long- walk today and you need rest. " We walked into the lobby together. At the foot of the stairs she extended her small sunburned hand. " Good night. Mr. Holmes, " she said softly, and then I watched her go on up to the next floor. She was very beautiful that night and her story had impressed me greatly. I believed what she said, but was inclined to think it rather exaggerated by worrying over it so much. Still a vague uneasiness haunted me and I wondered if her parents knew of this trouble : I determined to tell them. The next morning I awoke rather late for I had spent a sleepless night, lone Windermere would not leave my thoughts, and her peculiar sensations haunted me more and more. I dressed hurriedly and went down in the lobby where a cool breeze was blowing and refreshed me after the warm, sultry room. Nobody seemed to be around, only the clerk at his desk. [ nodded to him and said. " Where ' s everybody? " " O, Mr. Holmes, " he replied scarcely above a whisper, " haven ' t you heard about Miss Windermere? " " No, man, " I said. " Tell me quick, " and a thousand fears siezed me. I knew it could be nothing less than death. " She was found dead in her room this morning, close beside the door. Doctors say it was heart failure. " I preserved as calm an appearance as possible, though my feelings were almost more than I could bear. " Dead, " I said in a choked whisper, and then added, " 1 was very fond of Miss Windermere. " " So she has gone, " I mused, as I walked alone on the veranda in the morning sunlight. " Yes, perhaps she could not get out of the room. Poor girl! " I murmured, " this time she is really beyond the line! " Louise Davidson, ' 09.

After continued efforts and much rapping the president succeeded in subduing the prevailing chaos and minutes of the preceding meeting were read and objected to. The followed program was executed with much gusto: Piano Solo Peaceful Henry. Essav — Preventative Measures and Antidotes for the Assimilation of Too .Much Knowledge. Debate — Resolved: That the Evil Effects of Flirting ' Outweigh its Pleasures. Vocal Solo Every Little Bit Helps. Essay — Results of Psychological Research, as Exemplified by Taste- ful Academic Coiffure. At this point the president, awaking from a slight doze, requested the sergeant-at-arms to arouse several of the sleeping members. She then announced that after such violent mental exertion some relaxation was necessary. After rules had been resumed, a committee of seven was appointed by the president to investigate current rumors of indefinite restrictions put upon acad- emy girls on account of inordinate purchasing of flowers for college crushes. The Committee for selection of the Society pin then reported that because of the unique and original tri-cornered shape and unusual red-enameled center, previously decided upon, the pin could not possibly be procured for less than fifty cents. After lively discussion, on account of Society loyalty, it was unani- mously decided that all members should make strenuous individual efforts and sacrifices in order to obtain them. This weighty question having been settled, the Society rushed in a noisy bodv from the hall and left the dignified president alone, awaiting a motion for adjournment. ®ij? g opl|omorp (Etmta THE whole street fair was a " howling success " — some of us were hoarse for hours afterwards — but the best success of all was undoubtedly the Soph, circus. Being a Soph, affair, we expected it to be somewhat original, but it far surpassed all our expectations. You bought your peanuts and red lemonade, if you chose, outside, got your ticket, and were shown into the " tent " — the old Propylean Hall — which was arranged in proper circus fashion with a sawdust ring, roped off, with the seats for the spectators behind. The famous ring-master, Tommy Davidson, was master of ceremonies, and in a high hat and swallow-tail coat, assisted by a gorgeous clown in red — Adelaide made a splendid clown — and showed off the world-famous attractions of " his " troupe to perfection. There was a " deaf and dumb old lady from Kalamazoo, " who gave us an interesting talk on her fingers, though I couldn ' t quite catch all that she said ; a giantess from somewhere or other who walked rather stiffly, perhaps because her legs were so long — in fact, I might say that she had a " wooden gait, " — and a two-headed lady from the orient, this country must evidently agree with her, for she was quite stout, — her shoulders were exceedingly broad — who played a very interesting duet — I beg pardon, — a solo — the well-known classical piece, " Chopsticks, " on the piano. After these " human freaks, " came the animals, who went through their tricks with reallv an unusual degree of intelligence. There was " D. G. " — short for " dignified giraffe, " as the ring-master explained— and another creature, both of whom must have come from some other world, for they certainlv did not belong to this, but who behaved in a most exemplary manner. When asked if lie liked Agnes Sc ott, " D. G. " nodded affirmatively, but when asked if he liked Freshmen, he shook his head with great violence — a strange answer, but due probably to his earlv training. When these had been driven from the ring, the third and last great feature of the show appeared — the famous trained bears, " You " and " I, " in charge of the clown. They were both brown and rather undersized, perhaps because they had been kept so busy learning that they had not had a chance to grow — it must have taken a great deal of time and patience to teach them their tricks — or perhaps they did not have enough to eat. However, they went through their performance excellently, though clumsily, as all bears do, and ended up the exhibition with a touching little pantomime illustrating the popular song. " Speak to Me, Darling, " that was almost human in its action. Of course, as a circus, there had to be a side show, an excellent representa- tion of a " wild and woolly Freshman. " in an abbreviated green frock, who. with her doll under her arm, vainly endeavored to solve the mysteries of A, B, C, and 3 + 3=6. The Sophomores, being such a short time removed from Fresh- manhood themselves, were able to get up this exhibit admirably from memory.

Even the great king, Zens, for he was filled with wrath. " Ye members of faculty and all ye wise teachers, now give ve that advice most meet in this dire stringency. . Even now are our subjects breathing revolt and would our power overthrow. Yea, I will tell thee that 1 deem shall even come to pass ; in their own haughtiness shall they soon establish a government of their own. Consider, then, what must needs be done to stop this even now. " So spake he and sat him down and his dark heart within him was greatly filled with anger and his eyes were like flashing fire. And there stood up before them that liberal, theme-reading god, sore displeased. To Zeus first spake he : " Neither by just reason art thou displeased, nor is there aught to anger thee. Even as thou hast said shall it be, and even so should it be. Nay, and who are we, that we should hold these mighty ones in thraldom? To them, 1 deem, has freedom been decreed by a fate stronger than we, and verily this will be a sorry matter, neither any more endurable, if we shall dare oppose. " He said, and the sweet-voiced goddess was afraid and sat in silence, curbing her heart: but throughout all the company the members of faculty were troubled. And that god most great of ' speech made answer and said unto him: " Thou weak of heart, far better booteth it. forsooth, to hold the power unchanged and quench with might} ' hand this small uprising, than to yield because thy craven tongue doth say a stronger power demands it. Yea, I never beheld a stronger power than ours. Hearken to my counsel, all ye powers of government and ve wise-thinking faculty. To the subjects, powerless and unprevailing, we, in gen- erous bounty, should concede a part of government. We should even withhold that which is meet and ever show that not their strength, but our favor secures to them this boon. " Now, when the twain had thus finished the battle of violent words, Zeus, the king, bowed his dark brow and the ambrosial locks waved from his immortal head : and he made the great hall to quake. Now, for many daws ranged the argument through all the company, for this last one who spake was ever there to prolong the debate : but at last it was decreed that it should lie even as he had said. (53 Then came the sweet-voiced goddess, and summoned all the subjects to assembly, for in her mind did she have it to bear to them the mandate of the ] lowers. She spake and all the subjects cried assent. Then one from out their number brought they and set her up for to be their leader, bright-eyed Sarah, daughter of Boal ' s Then all the subjects hastened to gather themselves closely together. John of the loud cry raised the shout and stirred the spirits in the breasts of all throughout the multitude and the assembly swayed like high sea waves that east wind and south wind raise, rushing upon them from the clouds: so was all the assembly stirred, and they with shouting raised the cry of ever- lasting freedom and liberty.

February 15, 1907. Most Adored Gcorgie: I believe you asked for our customs? And so I, at least intending to do as I would be done by, shall bore — detestable word ! — you with a detailed descrip- tion of my " college life. " College life! Worthy of publication, isn ' t it? " Life of a Freshman, by a Freshman, for Freshmen, " a guide and warning to all youthful students. Or mayhap, I should use " experience " instead of " life? " Bien! Tt is the same. Experience makes up life. I believe, in correct order, one ' s rising comes first, n ' est-ce-pas? Well, I rise blithely anvwhere between the two breakfast bells, and possibly I strike the dining-room before the doors are shut, infinitely more probably, not. If not, then I hang amiably over the banisters in forlorn hope of catching some friendly, wandering eve through the transom and when one ( or two, rather ) lights in kindlv recognition, I put in my order. My frugal repast thus usually consists of rolls, of which I partake informally on the stairs or in the lobby. After breakfast comes chapel, and then " torture hours. " My recitation periods are always filled with keenest anxiety and the hope of not being called upon. No, I take that back ! I have become so hardened that I can go to class, my mind a perfect blank, without a tremor. Oh, if you could have been here last night ! There was a spot on the sun yesterday, and it was rumored that an earthquake would disturb the peaceful hamlet of Decatur during the night watches. — Well, I was lying awake thinking of a new dress I want next summer — and mean to get — when a clear report rang out on the night air, then another and another, as a car passed. And now I heard the mingling of voices up and down the corridors, the hurried swishing of kimonas, symptoms of hysterics along the hall, running feet, etc. Georgie, I wouldn ' t have missed it for ten dollars and all my society dues paid. Speaking of society though — but that ' s another story, as our darling Kipling would say. Of course, it was me for the hall, and mingling with the motley throng, I added mv voice to the clamor, heard one girl declare it the earthquake, while another was volubly expressing her sentiments as to its being Judgment Day. Finally, they were driven back into their rooms like frightened rabbits (the girls, von understand, not the rooms), and at length morning dawned, cold and dull, to another bitter day. The problem has now been solved. Some kid from Donald Fraser, a neighboring Prep, for the training of masculine intellects as yet " in the hud, " had intelligently placed some torpedoes on the track in front of the campus. Bright lad! I owe him thanks. As I said, I wouldn ' t have missed aforesaid scene for — was it ten dollars ? My dear Georgie, I want to tell you about " crushes, " quite an important factor here. When a girl so far loses her self-respect as to cheerfully make a fool of herself over some fascinating " phantom of delight, " you may safely infer she ' s afflicted. Georgie, they send em flowers ( if their fathers let them run up bills), and candy, only asking in return a fleeting smile. Of course, you may develop a crush on a member of the " Fac. " if you feel so disposed, it ' s all a matter of taste. Agnes Scott atmosphere reeks with this sentimental languishing.

' flfi DAX HAMILTON, Pennsylvania ' 06, walked slowly along the shaded path; out there the afternoon sun shone warmly on the dusty road. He had missed the Orland hack, and the Scribore break left two long miles from the " cross roads " to the little station. It was not far now, he could see the little store, where he was going to do the household commissions, with the sign, " Rabbit Box " painted over it in glaring white letters. Suddenly his glance fell on some- thing bright on the side of the road ; he stooped over and picked up a little gold pin, diamond shaped with A. S. C. across the purple and white enamel ; he turned it over, on the back were the initials E. D. T. Slipping it into his pocket he made his way peacefully on, a trifle more alert than before, perhaps. He sauntered into the little Rabbit Box, through the side door, flung his gray coat on the " desk. " and lighting his pipe settled himself comfortably on the step. The clerk, a moderately green and half grown country boy, eyed him with something of admiration, he could listen by the hour to the University ball tales ; the last customer had gone, and " old man Evans " had left him in charge ; he walked back to the door, grinned pleasantly, and stood in silent anticipation of the usual lore. Xot so with Hamilton, U. of P. ' 06, he paid small heed to the green and grinning individual, but smoking energetically, sat reflecting on the supreme idiocy of coming to this unpretentious mountain " hole " to waste away the months in idleness and door sills, door sills were his long suit down here. In the course of his meditations he presently recollected the little pin, and, holding it up for the clerk ' s inspection, inquired, " What does that stand for? " That individual fingered it gingerly. " Don ' t know, " he responded briefly. " Find it somewhere? 1 " " Down the road, " the sitter on the steps answered lazily, as he stretched his long arms, then added, " A tiresome place this, wish I had my horse, and the dogs, and the teams, my, it would be bully — " but just as the clerk ' s face brightened a little boy rode up on his pony. " Mr. Evans here? " he asked, then seeing only the green individual, he said indifferentlv, " but I guess you ' ll do. Sis lost a pin on the way up here this morn- ing, it ' s a little one she had at school ; it doesn ' t make much difference, just save it for me if you hear anything of it. I come up every day. " He was about to ride off but Dan stopped him. " May be this is the one, " he said as he held it out. " I found it down there a few minutes ago. " " Yes, that ' s it, " the youngster commented as he took it in his hand. " I ' ll take it back to Elisabeth, much obliged, " and he started off. " Know them ? " Dan inquired, but the clerk shook his head. " They ' re them Thorne folks, Judge Thorne, I guess, " he answered. " E. D. T., " Dan repeated to himself, " Elisabeth Thorne, nice name, " then to the clerk as he rose to hail the hack, " Hand me my coat, will you, and you ' ll send those things out on the first wagon in the morning.- ' " He seated himself by the garrulous old driver going out. " Do you know where the Thornes are out here? " he inquired, as he gave him a cigar. " We pass ther house, " the old fellow answered. " I ' ll show yer when we git ter it. " It was a big place with a beautiful avenue of fine old trees; Dan could just see the big white house and he pictured to himself the girl of the pin. And his mother noticed that he grew more interested in the neighborhood, and that he remarked to his father three times that he heard there were " some Thornes not far up there. " Several days later, arming himself with some magazines and plenty of tobacco, Dan wended his way to the little hill up the road where there was plenty of shade and a spring, and the grass was soft — oh my ! He had read one or two things, smoked three pipes, and reflected that somehow a fellow ' s chances were always better in stories, when he heard steps on the other side of the rocks. Then he got up quickly, the little boy who had come to the store was saying as he pointed him out to a charming creature in a pink dress, " That ' s that fellow, Sis. " The charming creature, who was nothing more formidable than a very pretty girl with laughing eyes, smiled. " You found my pin, " she said, " I was very glad to get it, it was one I had at school last year. " Her manner was very sweet, " I am Elisabeth Thorne, Mr. Hamilton, you see I know vour name, I ' ve met vour mother. " The little boy had seen a rabbit and scampered off down the hill after him. Dan walked on down with the girl, and he forgot there was any other direction to the road until they were in front of the house ; he met the big Judge, and he asked him to come back. And it suddenly occurred to Hamilton, U. of P. ' 06, that this place was " all to the mustard " at last. And in the fall when they had gone back, there was something else engraved with E. D. T. — only there was something more. Mary Mortised Dillard. RUTH CUSHIKG POPE LVERY one at Agnes Scott, not only the old girls but also the Faculty, has noticed with pride the growth, this year, of spirit between the College and the Academy The complete separation of the Academy from the College at the beginning of the session gave rise to this spirit in the first place, but the force that brought it to its height has been athletics, and more especially basket- ball. And in basket-ball we must always think of Miss Pope as the very heart and soul of it, and we all realize that the most of the spirit is after all due to her. Not only for basket-ball, but for tennis and athletics in every form we have to thank her for her tireless energy and interest. And yet although we can not at all see how we are going to manage it, we will have to plan for next year without her. But we girls who have seen the ball started, and rolled a good way, too, will always remember the one who started it, and under this influence we hope to help keep up the work as well as it has been begun.

Tim E — Early candle-light. Dr. Gaines, rising slowly drags his foot out of the waste-paper basket and pounds vociferously on the table imth a book and roars in thundering tones: " Let us have quiet ! " — A sickening silence. Dr. Armistead rises, nervously fingering his record book: " Is it time to call the roll and read the minutes? ' Dr. Gaines nods assent. Dr. Armistead : " Miss Alexander. " Miss McKinney: " We are here. " Dr. Armistead : " Miss Denny. " Miss D arrow: " She has not returned from the Vanderbilt ball game. " Dr. Armistead: " " Miss Cook. " Miss Cook: " I am here as I have been for eighteen years. " Dr. Armistead : " Mr. Dieckman. " Silence. Whisper heard through transom. Dr. Gaines {with lowering brow): " Air. Thompson, will you tell Mr. Dieck- man and Miss Phillips that faculty meeting is convened? " Exit Mr. Thompson. Miss Young sighs. Roll call proceeds to the finish. Dr. Arbuckle rises suddenly: " I would like to suggest — " Dr. Armistead (with a sidewise turn of the mouth): " Just a minute, please — the minutes. " Minutes are read. Dr. Arbuckle rises again: " Well, as I was going to suggest — " Miss McKinney: " Wait a minute, Dr. Arbuckle. but I must bring up this matter about Caroline Caldwell ' s work. The girls have reported to me that she has entirely too much to do. " Miss MacSwaiu: " She does have a hard time with her French. " Dr. Arbuckle: " Well, I should say about that — " Miss McKinney: " And then, too, I do want to tell you all about this Fresh- man Class. They are the most absolutely frivolous and uninteresting class that has ever been here. Every one of them ought to be compelled to go to study-hall and I doubt seriously if a single one can pass. If this thing keeps up I shall be compelled to take some step in regard to student government. " Dr. Armistead {striving towards witticism) : " Well, they ' re pretty. ' Where youth and beauty meet, Wisdom is but rare! ' you know. " The faculty kindly laugh. Dr. Gaines: " Let us have quiet. We have some weighty questions to discuss. Now this thing of letting the girls attend any church and asking Methodist women preachers out here to talk to them. " Dr. Arbuckle: " Well, as I have been trying to tell you for the last half hour, Mrs. Sienknecht has written here that that child of hers doesn ' t get enough to eat. " — (Audible titter.) Miss Hopkins: " Er — yes, yes, I will report that to Miss MacKenzie. " Miss Smith: " I thought possibly it might be in order to ask how I can get the girls to bring their Professor Bennett grammars to class. " Miss Cook: " Yes, the girls have very little respect for gov-ern-ment. " Dr. Arbuckle: " In connection with dining-room affairs, I ' d like to say that that rule about the doors closing twelve minutes after the bell has to be stopped. It doesn ' t give time for all my family to get in. " Mr. Armstrong: " Well, I have a complaint, too. I do certainly wish that some plan could be found whereby a class could be so conducted as to do away with this difficulty of the girls ' trying to discuss whole topics and not giving the teacher a chance to talk. " (Miss Armstrong smiles significantly.) Dr. Arbuckle begins a zvrangling with Miss McKinney on student govern- ment. Rest of the faculty settle for a long nap. Whistle blows. Dr. Gaines grumbles ominously: " And to think I haven ' t gotten in about the Sophomores ' painting that tank yet! " (Loudly) " Dr. Arbuckle, the whistle has blown, I believe. " (All start up suddenly and rush out.) Dr. Gaines (as the last vanishes) : " The meeting is adjourned. " IGtmmrka A COMEDY IN THREE ACTS. Maid one, Maid won. Made one.

Poultry Wati) Guide {conducting strangers through the domains of Agnes Scott): " And now, friends, if you will just turn this way for a mom ent, you will see one of the most unique features of this great institution. Here is our A. S. C. poultry yard, unequalled for the rare superiority of its specimens. " ' In the first division we see that splendid and noble bird, the Crane. I beg only to call your attention to its lustrous dark eyes, its stately tread as it prances back and forth, and its splendid and lordly manner of devouring food. " Next to it we see that bird of midnight, the Crow, the finest specimen this side of the Atlantic. This bird is of a remarkably amicable disposition, but I should warn the children in the party not to disturb it in any way, lest it emit those harsh and grating cries that cause those who attend it to flee in terror and bitter agony. " The next compartment holds the beautiful and gentle Drake. Watch it as it waddles to and fro Its mild blue eyes bespeak its sweet temperament. It will never utter anything worse than gentle and ladylike quacks. But do not for one moment presume that the germs of ire are entirely lost in this fowl. If en- raged, it will endeavor fiercely to hurt the offender, yes, it will even peck him. " The last of this rare collection is the superb little specimen of a Chick. Only Miss Cook can remember when it came here — a mere little slip of a pullet — and it has developed under careful training into this magnificent fowl — not large, it is true, but peerless in its form. Only see how it runs about scratching ner- vously here and there and snapping viciously at particles of food matter. Prob- ably the most interesting fact about the Chick is that it is in a peculiar sense a sacred fowl, dedicated to the use of her Holiness the Pope ; and, strange as it may seem, it appears to cherish in its chicken way a most ardent and frantic affection for its right reverend possessor. " The peace in the poultrv yard is exceptional. Once, indeed, when we at- tempted to keep the Drake and the Chick together, there was a struggle whose horror is nowhere rivalled on the page of history, and a speedy separation was effected. Since then the animositv stems to have abated entirely and we have no trouble in their management. " Oh, hie thee to Miss Appleyard If thou hast any ill ; She ' ll fetch a glass of water quick And poke down thee a pill.
