Senior .propljecj Far away in time yet coming, When our school days are no more Cupid says that things will happen Strange as some most ancient lore. Myrtle, a confirmed old maiden, Teaching her own private school, All the lads will keep, and lassies, Under strict, unbending rule. Bernice will wed a missionary And go forth in foreign lands, Teaching all the lazy heathen How to work with willing hands. And Susie will, with proud demeanor, Wed a man just four feet eight; He meantime will beam with smiling, While her mien remains sedate. Mona, as a prima donna. Will her audience astound With beautiful, harmonious music That makes the very walls resound. But the path of Susie Garner Lies in ways more calm and quiet; She will feed her young-men students With a dried-up Sanskrit diet. Mattie will be wise and learned On the questions of the dav, Keeping up the reputation Won by her graduating essay. Judith, following pleasant pathways, Will make bookselling her career, Giving long-drawn-out orations To sell those books the men think dear. Next I ' ll tell of Corinne Howry: She will be a portly dame, Gossiping over her back fences, While her children do the same. Alberta Martin, in society, Will go the fastest social gait; But will a seedy farmer marry, Be it soon or be it late. Sallie and Aline will travel In a popular vaudeville show; Sallie will play chief comedian, Aline, as a villain go. In a convent Cora and Lillian Will take up their lone abode, Caring for the poor and homeless, Seeking to lessen the evil sowed. Though the Seniors be far scattered, Cupid says they ' ll meet again At a certain alumnie reception Which each member will attend, Where our most beloved teachers Will be present in great state To talk to us on those deep subjects Which once kept us studying late.

Z3o tl)e Class ■ « The flag of Maytime ' s now unfurled, And scent of fragrant blossoms hurled Across the bosom of the world , In wreaths of perfume sweet; Fresh-blown roses fill the air With odors pure, and lying there Are velvet beds of violets rare, Beneath Dame Nature ' s feet. As this summer sun is sinking, We are silent, sadly thinking, One thought only our hearts linking, ' Tis a retrospection sweet. Belmont scenes our thoughts illuming, Greenhouse flowers are perfuming ; All the park, the tower looming, Seems the sky to greet. There the big old maple trees Fluttering in the balmy breeze, And the rich magnolia trees, With their blossoms creamy; Now dear faces come and go. Tender memories round th em blow, Memories of long ago — Memories so dreamy. Dearest classmates, e ' er we gaze Upon the future ' s misty haze, Let us each a cup now raise To the teachers that we love. Here ' s to Miss Heron and Miss Hood, Founders of this sisterhood; • Here ' s to the Regent, whose counsel good Has turned hearts above. And now farewell ! May each small barque Float gently out on life ' s broad sea, And may He pilot thee and me Who sees the sparrow fall. Though we may be tempest tossed, And our small barques be all but lost, He will guide, whate ' er the cost, For God is over all. Maggie Long B.vtts.

I declare that the only way to make Belmont a success is to put it in my hands. From the diary of Earnie Nixon, October j: When I was classified a Sub Senior, I entertained glorious thoughts of leading that class; but cold water was dashed on mv hopes when I talked with Josephine Barnum, who is a walking encyclopedia from Chicago. From the diary of Dorothy Riedesel, October 2 j: Elizabeth Barnwell, Juanita Evans, Josephine Barnum, and Mary Burford were unprepared again in Trigonometry to-day, and I had to recite the whole lesson, as usual. From the diary of Beulah Long; November i 5 : I am so mad with Miss Buchanan that I don ' t know what to do. Brother hasn ' t been out here but four times this week, and she positively refuses to let him come out to-night. _ From the diary of Lillian Anderson, Decembers: Haven ' t been to the theater for two successive nights. I know Mr. Vendome will be sending out in a few days to see what ' s the matter. From the diary of Bessie Smith, fanuary 12: When I played my new march in chapel to-day it was so fast that the girls had to run, and Miss Buchanan called me down for breaking a Belmont tradition. From the diary of Blanche Moore, January 28: Paderewski and I are to give a concert Monday night. J From the diary of Ethel Pettil, February 2: Owing to my frequent announcements, there was an overflow at Y, W. C. T. U. meeting yesterday, the membership being increased from one to three. From the diary of Mary Burford, February 18: I have just seen on the bulletin board that Miss Maxwell will review Evelina on the twentieth. O, I certainly feel sorry for the poor child and dread the day when Miss Maxwell will review me! From the diary of Inez Sing-leton, February 20: I couldn ' t go into the city this afternoon, but Uuida was kind enough to take my red suit and hat out for an airing. From the diary of Ruth Trice: The following notice appeared recently on the bulletin board: ' All Phi pins must be returned unless worn by sisters or fiances. ' I notice to-day that Blanche ' s pin has disappeared, and a mournful gloom has settled over her once happy face. From the diary of Eddie Lee Anthony: Just for a change, I wore an expansive smile during the entire day. From the diary of Addie Ward: I have just received the following Faculty note: ' Miss Ward is requested to retreat for a time from the French table, where her brilliant conversation has quite overawed the rest of the table. ' From the diary of Nolia Miller, March i : Miss Buchanan has just complimented me on the cor- rect shape which my uniform hat ha s retained during the wear of the Christmas holidays. From the diary of Ar line Wilson, March j: I have decided to give up my back rat and good grade in Trigonometry during Lent. From the diary of Ouida Lab it : Frances Buchanan, as usual, took advantage of her sister ' s absence and made so much noise to-day in the dining room that Miss Golay had to tap the silence bell. From the diary of Minnie T. Groover, March 14: O, this strenuous life my roommate is leading me! Not content with the commonplace, she has taken to politics, and has gone in for stump speeches. Woe is me; there goes our last orange to bribe the voters! My little body grows aweary of this great world. From the diary of La Perle Davis, April jj: The subtle influence of my ladylike presence lent charm to the Sub Senior reception last evening. I had my hair dressed a la mode, and know that I was irresistible. From the diary of Matlie Lou Brown, April 19: O, the meeting to-day was splendid! I have just returned from the Woman ' s International Athletic Association, presided over by Miss Hilton, where I delivered an address on the benefits of a walk over rough stones in the broiling sun. From the diary of Juanita Evans: O happy day! My grade was raised ten to-day in Chemistry because I successfully memorized and recited, both forward and backward, every word in the en- tire lesson, not omitting a single comma, period, or question mark.

O Faculty, we suggest, with all due deprecation, a closer affiliation with Vanderbilt University — that frequent receptions and monthly balls be given. We urge this innovation, of course, solely from altruistic motives — for the benefit of the Vanderbilt students. ' Tis a ltruism, too, a sincere desire for Belmont ' s welfare, that prompts our second suggestion — namely, that all boxes of palatable, delectable, and indigestible dainties be bestowed upon the Sophomores rather than upon the inmates of the Orphans ' Home. Have you never considered, O Faculty, that of all classes the Sophomores are the most worthy recipients of all these articles now contraband? To you, O Seniors, we suggest the contemplation of the universal art apodictic, including non- Euclidian geometries, hyperspaces, and the summitless hierarchy of genuine infinities. Such ex- plorations in the minute anatomy of thought will add sobriety to your demeanor. Gather pleasures, Juniors, while ye may, Old Time is still a-flying; And this leisure ye have to-day, Next year will be a-dying. Geometry will give place to Trig., Toward English C you ' re getting ; And when ye reach those subjects big, Your hours of play are setting. Freshmen, let your motto be: Imitation, imitation, imitation. Strive to profit by our exalted example, and, hitching your wagon to a star, be content with nothing less than imitation of the Sophomores. Here ' s to the Faculty of 1908; Here ' s to the girls who graduate; Here ' s to the girls who are going to stay; Here ' s to the girls who are going away; Here ' s to the class— the best, of course — Here ' s to the class — Sophomores ! 7 resfymatt Class Officers Margaret Christopher President MYRTLE Levy vice President Grace Fickcing Secretary Rachel North Treasurer Catharine Lee Representative ytte.mbe.TS Margaret Christopher Grace Fickliug Bessie Ritter Effie Belle Haggard Eunice Sullivan Elizabeth Harrison Madelayn Varley Elizabeth Knight Rachel North Jennie Kyle Martha Plant Catharine Lee Jessie Pollard Myrtle Levy Julia Morgan Annie McCullough Tresljman Calendar September 18. To-day we entered Belmont one hundred strong-, from countless States and divers countries. We hail from cities, townships, hamlets, and woods. We speak no common language and understand each other with difficulty. We have both the prolonged rolling of r ' s and the soft Southern drawl, while the gentle Mexican sounds are mingled with various dialects from ' way down East. September 20. We are classified. Our tastes were found startlingly divergent. Some wanted Philosophy, Higher Mathematics, and Ethics; while others preferred Botany, Gym., and Sight-seeing. We were taken in hand by the committee on classification and assigned places in very simple classes of Latin, English, Mathematics, and History. October 22. Our delightful excursion to Mammoth Cave. We had, each of us, both a trunk and a suit case packed, but our Regent refused excess baggage. November 1. We are taken on an observation trip through the city. As we pass the Union Station, homesick groans and sighs attract the attention of the passers-by. We visit the Peni- tentiary and Vanderbilt, and are warned against the inmates of both institutions. November 5. We adopt the Belmont uniform. From a variegated, heterogeneous, and kalei- doscopic rabble, we are reduced to a respectable, dignified, well-dressed company of Girls in Brown. Our respect for ourselves increases largely. December 5. Some of our number are honored by Faculty with a reserved seat on the famous Row of Sitters, and are cordially invited to attend study hall every night in the chapel. January. The record for the month consists of heartrending struggles. Latin, continued work over Math., with daily English themes, make life one glorious nightmare. . February (throughout). We dig, we study, we work; we play not at all. March 25. To-day came the holiday given to all students returning promptly from the Christ- mas holidays. That all Freshmen in the future may profit by our mistake and return on time — this is the sad and fervent wish of us all. April 1. Thinking - to be facetious, and prompted thereto by a Junior who said it was a Bel- mont tradition, we wound up all the alarm clocks in school and concealed them in the chapel desks. Our efforts were not appreciated, and no smiles nor applause followed. May. Our record for the year is completed. As we look back through the days that have passed, we realize that we have had both our shadows and our sunshine. We have had hard work and happy times together, and are bound tog-ether with a strong- bond of love for each other and loyalty to our Belmont Beautiful. We are eagerly planning for our debut next year as Belmont Sophomores.

A mighty building was obtained, and the wise men discussed much as to who should be the ruler of this great school. They did cast lots, and the lots fell to Ida, princess of the house of Hood, and Susan, princess of the house of Heron. They called this school Belmont, and they did rule well. Now, in the seventeenth year of the reign of these princesses there was a mighty gathering to this college. Many did come from all corners of the country to this house of learning, even from out of Jericho. It did please the Faculty to distribute this multitude into different tribes, and the most promis- ing tribe of all — nine in number — they did call College Preparatory. These nine were sent unto many fearful ladies in waiting, who did call them together every morning; and they did hum- bly hearken unto the voices of this august body, so that it soon came to pass that they could speak Latin and Greek, and could construct parallelopipeds, polyhedrons, and prismatoids — yea, and many other marvels could they perform. They could write a history of the Ptolemies in an after- noon and an epic poem of an evening. About the middle of this same year a terrible plague, caused from chicken salad, did visit this school. Many fell the victims thereof, and by reason of the pestilence one fell away from our tribe. Wherefore, in the second year, the number was only eight. But during the early part of this year the chief of this tribe, the damsel Leanora Bruner, did gather together her subjects and did say unto them : Let the power of the College Preparatory Class be strong, and all the king- dom shall be filled with the glory thereof. They did hearken unto her voice and obey. All tribes did stand in awe of the name College Preparatory; they did realize that they stood in the presence of the most learned body in school. When any of the eight went through the corridors of Belmont, the Freshmen saw and hid them- selves, the Sophomores rose and stood up, the Juniors refrained from talking, even the Subseniors held their peace, and their tongues cleaved to the roof of their mouths. The might of the College Preparatory Class waxed warm, and— lo! — all other tribes grew green with envy. These things have I written, that the fame of Belmont College Preparatory might spread beyond the gray walls of Belmont, even unto the kingdoms of Wellesley, Vassar, and Randolph-Macon.

I see the primeval forest, I hear the tinkling rills; And the limitless beauty of nature Stretches far away past the hills. Amid the wild profusion. Long, winding paths were laid, And dainty bowers erected In cozy nooks of shade. On slowly my fancy travels, To the time when first man ' s hand Disturbed this unbroken splendor And built here this mansion grand. Statues of whitest marble From distant lands then came, To add their snowy beauty To the garden ' s growing fame. VII In secluded nooks and bowers The old story oft was told, And love played merry havoc With hearts — in those days of old. Among the paths and flowers Soon happy laughs rang out, And ladies quaintly costumed Flitted lightly all about. But now all this has vanished; Silent the tap of each heel ; Hushed the low, sweet murmur of voices, And the angry ciangor of steel. For now the old, old mansion Into a college has been wrought, And knowledge wide and varied To hundreds of girls is taught. And my mind is brought back to the present By shouts of mirth and glee, And a noisy throng of schoolgirls Hastening in from a walk I see. And here in all its grandeur, Each Southern girl ' s boast and pride, Stands Belmont, beautiful Belmont, Whose fame has spread far and wide.

Through thg- jffprts of the Alumnae Association such extensive additions were made to the libriry th Hy ow forms a very valuable supple- ment to the college course. Since the establishmentoi le insti|Mi§H, in 1890, each year has brought a greater number of students, and the fact wase j3enl tj lat J u braVy - Vhich at first had been quite large enough, was now inadequate to meet llfe ' demands of yjeigro jjig the Alumnae Association knew this, anet-jf desiring to do all ment of their beloved Alma Mater, devised a plan by wnich they hoped be materially increased. ' The first step in this plan wasfthe issuing of attractive invitations, in the form of tiny booklets, to a reception to be given at the college on the night of December thirteenth. The object of the Association, as set forth in the (invitations, is to supplement the college library and to educate a daughter of one of the alumna . They also requested that each guest should help them by giving one book to the library. For several days after the invitations were sent out a delightful air of mystery pervaded the school, and strange sounds jpi knocking and hammering issued from behind the closed doors of one of the large rooms opening bn Rebreation Hall; but all the answer we could receive to our ques- tions about it was that we would find out soon enough, and with this unsatisfactory reply we were forced to be content. v On the night of the reception, Recreation Hall was filled with groups of girls in their gayest, most attractive frocks. The rex eivii g committee, composed of members of the Alumnae Association, met the guests in the reception hall; and as the people came in, they were conducted to the library, where the books were left. The don K namte : ' was inscribed in every book given in this way, so that succeeding generations of studentssnSfeld ltnowjind appreciate each individual ' s share in the library ' s expansion. Then the guests wef Jree ' iSfoyMhe delightful music of the orchestra and to see the entertaining tableaux presented in the Assemby Hall. These tableaux, by some of the Belmont girls and Vanderbilt boys, were clever reproductions of illustrations from popular fiction. During the evening frapp£ was served at each end of Recreation Hall. And now we knew why there had been so much whispered planning for several days. The large room opening on Recreation Hall had been fitted up with dark wooden shelves, and the floor stained to correspond. The furniture was all new and in Mission style. On the long, massive reading table in the center of the room was placed a handsome electrolier, and around the table were comfortable chairs. The windows were shaded with net curtains. In a word, the room had been transformed into a beautiful library — one of which we had just cause to be proud. The results of the reception exceeded even the most sanguine hopes of the alumnae, for every one whom they had asked for help had responded willingly and liberally. From the principals and the faculty of the college came a number of handsome books, and the members of the Alumnae Association whose homes were too distant for them to attend the reception in person sent generous donations. They were still loyal to Belmont, and entered with enthusiasm into any plan for her advancement. The five sororities represented in the college and a number of clubs and groups of girls had each presented a set of some noted author ' s works. Among these sets were Furness ' edition of Shakespeare; the Century editions of Scott and Dickens; the Smith, Elder Co. ' s publi- cation of Thackeray; and the Doubleday, Page Co. ' s publication of George Eliot. Each girl who had not shared in the purchase of any of these gave a single volume; and thus from the faculty and students came a great many valuable books. These, with the ones given by the invited guests and the large number already on hand, form a solid and well-selected foundation for what will in time be a comprehensive library. The members of the Alumnea Association are deeply gratified at the success of their plan, and the girls are daily demonstrating their appreciation of the reference books and standard literature within their reach. Each hour spent in the quiet of the big, sunny room will be certain to leave its own beneficial impression on the lives and characters of the students of Belmont College.

When in came a tiny lass, An inquisitive little maid, Who gazed up wonderingly, and then — ' ' Who are those ? ' ' she said . Why, they are Belmont girls, said I, And a jolly lot you ' ll find. Poor Mrs. Belmont — my ! she said, How can she make them all mind? E. B. Belmont traditions ♦ i. Girls are positively forbidden to throw orange and banana peelings in the wastebasket, as it makes too much work for the maids. Throw them out the window. II. When the cars are heard approaching, all girls should rush immediately to the North Front windows. This is a Belmont tradition, and should not be overlooked. III. It is necessary for girls walking in the park to keep close to the west fence, responding courteously to all Vanderbilt friends. IV. Only ragtime music must be played on Sundays, as we wish to present a cheerful aspect to passers-by. v. All students should register on the chapel desk. We suggest that a sharp knife be used. VI. The gentle art of conversation should be cultivated while at Belmont. We wish the girls to appear talkative at all times, especially in chapel and in the corridors. VII. Pleasure parties returning to the College at a late hour in the evening should be noisy when passing through the corridors, in order that Miss Buchanan and the rest of the household may know of their return. VIII. Any student failing to wear white grosgrain ribbon, tan shoes, and fancy hat pins on Sundays — as we wish them on that day to look especially well — will have ten taken off her grade and no sup- per Sunday nights. ,A Dilemma O, what on earth are we going to do ? Our pockets are empty, and the bank ' s fallen through! We wanted some niching and some puffs for our hair — When we start to the bank, they say : ' ' No money in there. ' ' If I ever get a dollar, I will stick to it so long The eagle in the center will sing a little song; For I owe that girl a nickel, and a quarter over there, And — O! — that dime I borrowed from my partner at the Fair! There ' s a girl who owes me a dollar on the floor right down below; And she has some jingling coins in her pocketbook, I know. Could you let me have that dollar you got the other day ? I hate to ask you for it, but the maid I have to pay. She ' s been to me so often that I hate to turn her down; But when I walk into the bank, they greet me with a frown. I have written home to father, and some money he will send ; And when I get that money, I ' ll be careful what I spend. Mildred Buck. Ouija « • H, girls, have you heard — ? Sh-h-h ! and six warning - fingers stopped her. There! The train of thought is broken, and we ' ll have to begin again. Alice, the intruder, stood on tiptoes and looked over the shoulder of one of the intensely interested six. She saw a sort of three-legged stool resting on a board upon which was the alpha- bet and the numbers up to ten arranged in a semicircle. What is it? she asked. It ' s Ouija, they all rejoined. They say it will tell you anything you ask it, but I don ' t be- lieve it — yet, remarked Jane, rather contemptuously. Ask it something, said Alice. Well, 3 ' ou see it has been doing some wonderful things; but for the last few minutes I haven ' t been able to make it work, explained the operator. Alice and Jane laughed. Well, if you all don ' t believe it, you needn ' t stay in here, remarked one, indignantly. I ' ll ask if it wants to speak to any one. Eagerly they all watched it — Alice, with amusement; Jane, with a struggling doubt. Slowly the little stool went up to A, then down to 1, and, finally, i-c-e. Very well, said that lady, let ' s hear what it has to say. Slowly, always slowly, the little leg traced out Donald, then Sherrald. Donald Sherrald, said Alice, with a puzzled expression. I never heard of him. Nor I, they each in turn were forced to admit. Where does he live 9 they asked. New Orleans, it wrote. With a patience beyond all reckoning they plied it with questions, and found that the gentleman in question was a Senior at Northwestern University, and had gone to Bingham preparatory school. At this crucial moment Ethel entered and gathered as best she could from the excited speeches hurled at her that Ouija was disclosing some remarkable things about one Donald Sherrald. Donald Sherrald! I know him. He lives right across the street from me in New Orleans. What! they screamed. And is he a senior at Northwestern? Did he go to Bingham? Has he got brown hair and brown eyes? 17 He has brown hair and brown eyes ; but whether he went to Northwestern or not, I can ' t say, but I ' ll write and find out. The college bell interrupted them at this moment, and Ouija was hastily thrust out of sight. Alice and Jane lingered a moment to speak with the proud possessor of Ouija. Say, Mary, of course I don ' t believe the thing, but I would like to try it again. Could I have it to-night? Sorry, Alice, said Mary, but it ' s engaged every minute until light bell. Light bell had rung. The front door slammed, then the clink of his lantern and the footsteps of the night watchman grew fainter, fainter, and all was still, deathly still. The corners of the room were dark and suggestive, and strange shadows danced oh the ceiling. On the floor before the fire two girls were seated, bent over Ouija. Weirdly it traced: You will marry Donald, March, 1909. That ' s so foolish; let ' s ask if I will ever see Henry again. December, 1909, it wrote. But that will be too late, Ouija, laughed Alice. Why should I see him then? To review a sad mistake. What mistake, Ouija? Let time decide. Will I be happy with Donald, Ouija? He will do everything in his power to make you happy, it traced. Then won ' t I be? You are not easily made happy. What was it Henry couldn ' t explain last summer? It wouldn ' t be square to tell. You have a strange sense of honor, Ouija; tell me, ought people to play with you? No. Why? Because some people are easily influenced. Ami? No. Is Jane? No. Then is it wrong for us? Not unless you are sleepy. Well, we decidedly are not. Tell us some more. It wrote: October 14th. What about October 14th? Donald will realize that you do not love him. Why will I marry him? Infatuation. The girls looked at each other, their eyes wide and serious. What ought I to do, Ouija? As 3 ' our conscience dictates. How will it all end? Donald will — She closed her eyes and felt the little stool go up to d — I can ' t look, Jane; you look, and tell me if I ought to know. With varying - sensations she felt it move, and heard the occasional scrunch of the legs on the board, and then it stopped. What did it say, Jane? You want to know? Yes. ' Donald will die if there is no other way. ' O — I — O, Jane, Jane, do you believe in it? I hardly know; it ' s all so strange. Jane, I don ' t believe it is right to do this. Why not? Because, if God wanted us to know the future, we would, and this seems to be meddling with Providence. Do you want to stop? No-o — not yet; do you? No. O, Jane, I know it ' s foolish, but if I could only forget it! I know it will worry me always. Let ' s ask it. Ouija, will I ever forget this night? Never, it wrote. It seems like some evil spirit. Ouija, are you? What is your opinion? They gasped. I think you are, said Alice. You make me smile, wrote Ouija. With a hysterical scream she threw the Ouija from her and flung herself upon the bed, sobbing. There was a sudden flash of green light across the room, and both girls started. It was only a flash from the trolley wire in the street, but they did not know it. The last flame in the grate went out with a puff and left a few red coals gleaming among the ashes. All was dark, and there was no sound except the nervous sobbing. From that time the girls noticed a change in Alice. Her gayety was forced, and she dropped into strange moods of melancholy. No one could explain but Jane, and she would not. Alice avoided the Ouija with conscientious care, and vowed never to touch it again, assuring herself always that she did not believe, and hoping and trying to forget; yet she watched the post office with eager in- terest for the letter which was to verify or (as she hoped), deny Ouija ' s statement about Donald. Donald had become a real person to her. She could picture him wronged as he would be, and lived over all the agony of self-condemnation prophesied for her. Seeking company to drive away her maddening thoughts, she wandered into one of the girls ' rooms. Here she ran against a breathless audience, of which Ouija was the center. She would have beat a hasty retreat, but they caught her and pulled her in with eager entreaties. It asked for you, Alice, said one. It said for you not to forget what it told you. Forget ! Alice laughed. As if she could forget ! Come work it, begged another; it runs so well for you. No, no! she protested. It told ;ne it wouldn ' t tell me my future because it would make me unhappy, cried Mary, jubilantly. Then ask it why it had no scruples in telling me mine, Alice said, in spite of herself. Because I hoped you might thwart Fate, it wrote. She turned and ran from the room and out on the campus. She sat down behind a clump of box trees and covered her face with her hands. There was no use putting it off; she must settle this question now. She must be rid of these little grinning faces which followed her, those strange words that haunted her, those weird shapes which led her on to — where, where? — darkness. Then she felt something soft and warm and wet against her hand. It was Gj r p, the college pet. She patted him on the head, and he rolled over on the ground. Gyp, Gyp, she called. Here at last was something - alive, something natural, something not Ouija-mad. She patted him again, and how she.envied him ! He was just a little dog that could roll and bark and be happy. So commonplace, so natural, so human! She wandered back to the house and through the down- stairs, and found a cold biscuit on the table in one room. She picked it up and munched it. Surely here was something out of Ouija ' s sphere. It would not prophesy that she would eat a cold biscuit. Surely there were some depths to which it would not penetrate. Drawn by an irresistible force, she wandered back to the room where the girls had been holding- the Ouija conference earlier. They were all gone. There was Ouija on the floor. She gazed in fascination, then Fiend! she cried, and hurled the board, stool, and all into the fire. Intently she watched it burn and heard the flames crackle. As the last bit fell into ashes she laughed mer- rily. You make me smile, Ouija, she cried, triumphantly. Downstairs there was a sudden noise of voices. Alice, Alice! they called. Come down quick; Ethel has got the letter telling about Donald. Eloise Bradshaw. Talen6ar for J bruar? 1. Mrs. Key wears green to-day. 2. Am} T Fowlkes says a sentence in Psychology. 3.

The fire alarm shall be the loud and continuous screaming of feminine voices. 2. Upon hearing the fire alarm at night, each girl must dress carefully in uniform, taking especial pains to adjust her pompadour and puffs in a becoming style, then go immediately to chapel by way of North Front stairway. N.B. A girl ' s only safety lies in her strict adherence to orders. Girls must not go down by the way of the fire escape or go to chapel by any other stairway. 3. After roll has been taken and the report on ' ' chapel and corridor quiet, ' ' the students should march out to the tune of Belmont ' s Burning and go immediately to their rooms. 4. Remove only pennants and gather up the few remaining hairpins, powder, and other neces- sary articles of toilet; thrust your books, gymnasium suits, and music in closet; and leave the rooms in perfect order, as they will be subject to inspection. 5. If teachers on your floor are asleep, do not disturb them. II. To the Teachers and Other Adults 1. The teachers or matrons should not open the outside doors, as the admission of oxygen would increase the conflagration. 2. The fire department should be summoned after all the girls are out of their rooms, otherwise they might suffer from the effects of the hose and be forced to go to the infirmary. Vanderbilt Hferoes !)HE feeling - of chivalry which nerves every Vanderbilt man to prompt action when he sees a Belmont girl in distress was called into play on an occasion several weeks ago, and it is with pardonable pride for the ever-increasing glory of the Gold and Black that we are able to bear testimony to the deeds of valor and heroism at that time displayed. The occa- sion was a disastrous fire in the chapter house of one of the most prominent Belmont sororities. Although the fire occurred at 9:30 o ' clock Sunday morning (when most of the Vanderbilt stu- dents were at Sunday school), there arrived on the scene soon after the alarm a brave number of Vanderbilt undergraduates and alumni. Spurred on by the martial strains of Belmont ' s burning ! Fire, Fire, Fire, Fire ! sung by the Belmont Glee Club on the spot, and stung to action by the cries of distress and anguish of the other girls, this heroic little band at once charged through the front door of the building, fighting their way through a very baptism of fire. Most of the Vanderbilt men were veteran fire fighters, for nearly all of them had had experience with old flames at Belmont for several years. Once inside the building, the leader of the Commodores put on a Hood, and soon after he could be seen wading about in the water like a Heron. Many were the daring rescues and thrilling escapes; but, in spite of the most indefatigable efforts on the part of the Vanderbilt men, over forty pounds of rouge and papiere poudre, seventy thousand hat pins and hair pins, and large quantities of other boudoirettes were lost. There was one incident, however, which showed that the Vanderbilt men were equal to the oc- casion. After they had been struggling with the fire for over an hour, the Nashville Fire Depart- ment arrived. Chief Zoretta was furious when he heard that the fire had been kept under con- trol by amateurs. Summoning his men, he ordered them to turn the full force of all the streams of water on the Commodores, hoping to rout them thus. Our students were drenched through, but not for one moment routed. The Vanderbilt leader, seizing a dozen silk stockings from the debris, in retaliation, proceeded to turn the hose on the chief, who beat a hasty retreat. The origin of the fire is unknown; and although several ingenious theories have been advanced, spontaneous combustion in a bottle of hair dye is the most favored theory. The Vanderbilt men who risked their lives in the fire will, in all probability, be awarded Car- negie hero medals. They have already been honored with life memberships in The Ladies ' Aid Society. There were reports to the effect that they had also been elected honorary members of The Belmont Magazine Circle, but these reports have been exploded. — Vanderbilt Observer.

But one day the sky was darkened, threat ' ning clouds came whirling on, Lightning flashing, thunder roaring — summer ' s peaceful calm was gone — Howling chased the wind the tempest, and the driving rain fell down. Under leaves the flowers, frightened, sought a shelter ' gainst the rain; But the little dandelions, bent and bowed, yet stooped in vain. In the battle sun was victor, tempest ' s rage had passed in vain. When the flowers lift up their heads, they saw nature fair, But the haughty dandelions they beheld in great despair — Sticking, broken and baldheaded, desolately in the air. C. S. The following exam. in Horace was, perpetrated upon the Senior Class during the year:  1. Translate absolutely literally, yet making smooth, flowing, flowery, Horatian meter, from the first five pages of the Lexicon. 2. Explain one hundred subjunctive modes — not the usual promiscuous ones, but those that never occur in the earth beneath, nor the waters above the earth. 3. Decline five indeclinable nouns, and why. 4. Give names, sizes, and ages of the fifty sons and daughters-in-law of King Priam. Isn ' t that a lovely problem? Said Miss Blalock, under her breath. Indeed it is, piped Ernestine; In fact, it ' s cute to death. Miss Maxwell: Can any one tell me what an adage is? Bright Pupil: Yes, Miss Maxwell, I can; it ' s a fish that lives only in tropical waters. Lights out, lights out! the teacher cried — Lights out! again, in accents wild. She ran and rapped upon the door, Then, louder still, Lights out! once more. The light remained, and to the door A girl came tripping o ' er the floor; She opened it and stood amazed, And at the teacher gazed and gazed. Her gaze was changed, and then by chance She gave the teacher a pitying glance, And sweetly said: Why, don ' t you know That I ' m a Senior in Belmont now? Zelma L. (anxiously) : Will you please tell me who the ' Spanish Armada ' is? I can ' t find his name in the class- ical dictionary at all. 22 Helen R. (madly rushing up to a friend) : Tell me something funny, please; for Miss Wendel is going to make us all tell antidotes to-night at dinner. Miss Blalock (in chapel) : And my little niece was out in her flower beds working, and dug up some roots, and her little brother, too. Ah, me! just be sweet to me, Said one of the girls to Miss Cook. I hardly know how; but wait, let me see — Did you say it was down in the book? Miss Maxwell: Did you ever see the word ' Golgotha ' before? Bright Pupil: In the Bible. I don ' t remember the ref- erence, though. Miss Maxwell: Does any one remember it? All-wise Special Diploma: O, he was the giant whom David slew! We enter the Latin room, serene and demure, With thoughts organized and translations secure — With visions of excellent before our mind ' s eye. But immediately our thoughts all adjourn sine die; For there sits Miss Courtney with dignified look, And open before her that Latin Grade Book. We have read of the tortures of those Romans of old, Of Nemesis encamped on the trail of the bold, Of vultures that ate of their vitals their fill, And snake-headed furies that pursue them at will; But of all fabled horrors of that dark Stygian brook, Not one will compare with that Latin Grade Book. Medora (in French) : Did they kill him, Miss Schoeni? ' Miss S.: The book says so. Medora: Why, it just says they broke his head. Mary B.: Girls, what do you think? I ' m taking six- teenth century before theology. Professor is our Teddy Bear, We put him on for shows; He plays on the piano Just as if he sort o ' knows How to make the birdies sing, And the thunder roll and clap; Guess he must have practiced some — O, he ' s a funny little chap! And then sometimes (of course, for fun) He plays like Rubin, played — He tears his hair and blinks his eyes As if he just was made To pull the ivory off the keys And make the strings to snap; And all the time he looks as calm As if he didn ' t give a rap. Then when the grand finale comes. He uses all his strength; The lid flies off the piano, The joints grow weak in the bench. Mildred S. (angrily) : I said, ' Don ' t open that closet door. ' Mary K. (trying to open door): Goodness me! Why not? Mildred S.: Well, I ' ve just killed myself driving those mosquitoes in there this afternoon, and I don ' t want them to get out. Gladys B. (discussing Heart of Midlothian ): Well, I didn ' t expect any more of Effie, but I did expect lots more of Scott. Anna Maye C. (excited): Scott who? The saddest words of tongue or pen Are chapel and corridor quiet again; For with twenty-three standing, ' tis plain to see The only thing left is skidoo for me. Specimen Belmont Latin translation: Magna parte diei consumpta — A great part having died of consumption. Mary B.: Say, give me the names of some ancient cities and the things they ' re noted for. Dorothy R. (scratching her head): Well, there ' s Rome — the Coliseum was there; and what were those things called they buried people in? O, I know [thinking hard] — aw — [triumphantly] honeycombs! Miss Hood: We had a little dog once, but somebody poisoned him and he died; and he was never quite the same after that. Cut it, said Miss Wendel To a girl in English C. Don ' t be alarmed; for she only meant To cut the theme, you see. The most gigantic, stupendous, and momentous success of the year in the Latin room was the construction by the Caesar class of the famous Caesar ' s bridge. The mate- rial used was one waste cracker box, and, instead of ma- chinery and pile drivers, scissors, hat pins, nail files, and shoe horns were substituted. After toilsome work and ar- duous labors, a very wobbly set of tigna bina ' s was evolved, which would stand erect only when propped up with a lexicon and tied together with baby ribbons. When they were at last coaxed to stand, graceful and coquettish trabes were hewn out and lowered gently thereupon. The class stood round in awe admiring their handiwork, and voted unanimously that it be placed in the archives of Belmont College for the instruction of future classes. He ends up then with a great bang, Jumps up like a jumping jack; Then, with the usual dress parade, Comes the wreath upon the rack. Miss Maxwell, even when seated on her throne, is un- able to see either over or through the first rows of pom- padours. Miss Golay, there is no doubt, Is a lover of tests and teas; And she ' s the proud possessor Of A.M. ' s and A.B. ' s. But tests and degrees, as well as teas, Affect a young girl ' s mind; For with them ever before her, She ' ll always be behind. In preparing this issue of Milady in Brown, we have been the recipients of divers epistles. On account of the limited capacity of the wastebasket, we have decided to thrust the following on the public: Dear Editor: I am an ardent supporter of the Deke Fraternity. I take every opportunity I have for letting people know where I stand. But even this does not seem sufficient to me. Could you not make some notable mention of it in the Annual? Anxiously, Alberta Martin. Editorial Board: I have already sent in several pictures of myself, also my bi ography, but I have recently dis- covered something I think will be valuable to you. I inclose two pictures — my housemaid and cook. I patronize the steam laundry and find it very satisfactory, except that often my lace handkerchiefs are torn. Edouard Hesselberg D ' Essenelu. P.S. Remember, this is not to conflict with the twenty pages reserved for me. Dear Editor: I am considered an exceptionally pretty girl. The Faculty especially admires my looks. I in- close a striking photograph which I believe will add materially to the attractiveness of your volume. My pom- padour may cut out some of the margin, but I am confident it will be space well used. Modestly yours, Kate Young. Dear Editor: I know it is the custom for all Seniors to have a list of their offices after their names in the An- nual, but I fear there will not be sufficient space for all of mine, so I suggest that they be published elsewhere. Please do not overlook that I am H. M. M. of the X. Y. Z. I also sit at the French table. Sincerely yours, Mona Hudson. My Dear Editor: I find that in my picture taken for the Annual only eleven of my Kappa Alpha pins show. Couldn ' t you delay the Annual long enough for me to have it taken over so as to bring the other two into promi- nence ? Hastily, Sarah Armistead. Dear Editor: I wish to reduce my weight and grow tall. Couldn ' t you appoint me collector for the Annual? Respectfully, Sarah Francis White. My Dear Editor: Thinking you might have need of something in the lighter vein, I presume to suggest myself as an authority. I have an unending supply of jokes; moreover, you need not fear that they will not meet with approval, for they have all been sanctioned by usage. Can give their pedigree if necessary. Yours truly, Sallie James. Dear Editor: Please print in your columns a choice selection of Beauty Hints. I would like to know your favorite lotion for keeping the hands soft and white. Mine are in good condition now, but I dread the exposure of the coming summer. By the way, what style of niching do you think is most becoming to an oval face? Would you advise as to whether lace or embroidery should predominate in my summer wardrobe ? Very truly, Mary Shelton. Senior jp fttton March 25, 1908. We, the undersigned, members of the Senior Class of 1907-08, do hereby ask the members of the Faculty of Belmont College to consider the following requests: 1. That we be excused from all classes. 2- That the Faculty ask our advice on all questions. 3. That breakfast be served us in bed every morning at ten o ' clock. 4. That the Freshmen be given us as waiting maids. 5. That we all have grades of ninety-five. 6. That we be allowed to go out at least three evenings of the week. 7. That our young men friends be allowed to call any hour of the day, and to send candy, flowers, etc., at any time. 8. That our mail be delivered in our rooms immediately after it enters the college.

H, I wish there were fairies these days! Those real good ones who used to send persons on a long, almost impossible search, and then give them a fine reward at the end. These words were uttered by a little golden-haired girl, who looked almost like a fairy herself. She had been reading from her ever-constant companion, The Golden Fairy Tales; but now it had been cast aside, and she had thrown herself back on the soft couch of moss and leaves under a willow tree near a little brook. She lay there drowsily for some time, lulled by the gentle murmur of the stream. So you want to leave your pretty home and spend years in some wild search, do you? ' sud- denly piped a shrill little voice at her elbow. Wide awake she sprang up, and there at her side was a quaint, wrinkled manikin, regarding her with an extremely quizzical expression. She stared at him, too astonished to speak; but he did not seem to mind her amazement in the least. % Well, why don ' t you seek the Rose of Joy? For ages men have sought for it, but few have ever found it. Behold! She looked. The brook, the forest, her book, everything familiar had disappeared, and there, stretching out far and wide, lay a wild, desolate country, interspersed with patches of low, undulating meadows of richest green. Away in the distance rose a lofty mountain, on the very highest pinnacle of which grew an enormous rose tree with one large bud. As she watched, the bud slowly opened, revealing a white rose of surpassing beauty and purity. With a cry of amazement and eager desire, the child rushed toward it with outstretched arms; but ere she had gone many steps she fell and— why, she was all alone in the forest! She looked about; there was no mountain, no rose, no little man— she must have been dreaming. But— O!— what a wonderful dream it was! Surely that beautiful flower was not all a fancy; it must grow somewhere in the world. At last she arose and walked slowly home. Mother, she asked, did you ever hear of the Rose of Joy, a beautiful flower that grows away off on the summit of a high mountain? tf f No! laughed her mother. Why, what ' s the matter, Lois? You look as though you had been seeing fairies. I have, calmly answered the child as she turned away. But she never forgot her dream, and for years after, sometimes during her waking hours and many times at night, the white Rose of Joy beckoned enticingly from unknown distances. Chapter II. Again Lois was dreaming under the willow. There was a far-away look in her brown eyes, and her lips were parted in a half smile. In her lap was a little battered volume, on whose faded cover could be dimly traced in letters of gold, The Golden Pairy Tales. Finally, with a toss of her pretty head, her thoughts came back to earth, and she picked up the book and looked at it tenderly. Dear little book, she murmured, although to-day I am sixteen, I can hardly bear to put you away with my other childish toys. But — O, little book! — I believe I am on the right road to find my Rose of Joy at last. Just think, it has been eight years since I first dreamed of seeing that lovely vision, and I am just as eager now to possess it as then, when I believed it to be a real flower. I shall leave for college to-morrow, and there I mean to win honors and prepare myself for a life work that will make me famous. O, is there anything that can give true joy other than fame and the triumphant pursuit of it? And it shall be triumphant for me! Of course, it will no doubt be hard at first; but I feel now as if I could conquer worlds. The next day Lois left her home and mother for the first time in her life to commence her battle with the world. Many times she was discouraged; but even when her difficulties seemed greatest, as if in a dream she saw a pure white flower, surrounded by a crown of laurel, and straightway she took heart. She climbed steadily upward, and at first she thought she had attained her greatest happiness. But a restlessness, a feeling of dissatisfaction, at length came upon her; and on her graduation day, though she stood as valedictorian of her class, she felt that as she had advanced, her Rose of Joy had receded and grew on a still higher plane luringly out of sight. Chapter III. With an impatient sigh Lois threw herself petulantly down beneath the old willow. She was tired, of study, tired of her life at home, tired of everything. O, why can ' t I live in the city and go to balls and parties, like Cousin Nell? I think it ' s a shame to be tied down here in the country. There is no opportunity to find my rose here; every- thing - is too dull and prosaic. After a while she arose and walked aimlessly back to the house. Her mother met her at the door with a smile. Little daughter, I have such a surprise for you! Your Aunt Kate has written for you to come to New York during the coming season to make your d£but into society with Nell — ■ O, mother! Yes, and your father and I, after talking it over, have decided to let you go. We have both noticed that you have of late grown weary of your quiet life here and long for frolic and excite- ment, which is perfectly natural — O, mother, it is too good to be true! I do love this dear old j Jace so much, but I do want to go to the city and live for a while in the gay social whirl. O, I am so happy — so happy! She danced away to her room, already planning frocks, and even thinking of the conquests she hoped to make. And that evening as she combed her long hair before retiring, she smiled hap- pily, and, girl-like, wondered if Nell was as pretty as she. Beautiful indeed was she on the night of her formal entree into society. Her eyes glowed with excitement, and her whole being seemed to thrill with the joy of living. She carried a bouquet of white roses, and one of extraordinary size and beauty she had placed in her hair, typical, she thought, of the pure Rose of Joy, which she felt surer of finding than ever before. At first the life in New York was indeed delightful; but the novelty soon wore off, and beneath the glitter and brilliancy she saw much that was artificial and worthless. She often revolted at the insincerity about her; but the heat of conquest was in her heart, and she kept on. One evening after a large ball near the close of the season, she came home, threw herself into a great armchair before the fire, andjfor a long time gazed dreamily into the dying embers. At last she slowly shook her head, smiled, and whispered to herself: No, my white rose, this atmosphere is too tainted for you. You are yet far, far away; I must seek elsewhere. Chapter IV. Two more years had rolled around, and once more Lois was sitting under the willow. O, how happy she was! How beautiful was the world! How good was God! She smiled joyfully, then blushed at the very thought of her great happiness. Is my Lois really so merry at the thought of leaving her home on the morrow and going to that of another? Lois looked up into the tearful face of her mother, and, reaching 1 up, drew her down beside her. No, mother mine, not merry because I am leaving- you, but because I am so happy in the thought of loving and being loved. Last evening I told John of my Rose of Joy, and I feel now that it is almost within my grasp. I have only to reach forth my hand to-morrow and it will be min.e. Don ' t be too sure, my daughter. Love and marriage, it is true, bring forth many flowers of happiness; but you will also find many thorns among your roses. There will be none among mine, mother. The rose of my dreams had no cruel briers on its slender stem. The next day Lois was married, and for years her life was happy even beyond her expectations. But there were times when she was not quite content; there seemed to be something missing. She had everything she could possibly desire, and she was loved and admired; but, in spite of all, a certain sense of unrest often oppressed her. I am such a useless person, she said to herself one day. It seems that I am always receiving, and yet giving nothing in return. I am happier now than I ever was before, but I have not found the white rose of perfect joy. I believe now that one must travel far and over many rough roads before it is won. It is not to be found on the primrose path of earthly pleasure; such purity and perfection belong only to heaven. But I will not give up, and some day I firmly be- lieve that I shall enjoy its wonderful fragrance. Chapter V. An old woman on whose face rested a tranquil beauty stood by a little stream near the stump of an old willow. Her expression was one that i s seen only on the faces of the truly happy. A little girl approached her, and, smiling up at her, said; O, Aunt Lois, are you too weary to sit up with mother to-night? I know you were up last night, and I hate to ask you; but the doctor says she is worse, and he is afraid I am not wise enough to nurse her. Are you very tired? No, Bessie; I will come. I shall go home now, rest a while, and come down to your cottage just before dark. O, you are so good! cried the child as she hurried away. Lois — the Aunt Lois of the village — stood a little longer looking down into the clear, un- troubled water of the brook, thinking of the past. She thought of her dream and of her many long years of vain search for the Rose of Joy. She had not found it in the ambitions and pleasures of her girlhood — no, not even amid the joys of married life; but now, an old woman, alone in the world, she was happy, for she had received that peace which passeth all understanding. For years her life had been one of service to her fellow-man, and, day or night, she was always ready, cheerfully, to comfort another ' s sorrow, to lessen another ' s pain; and the white Rose of Joy bloomed within her heart, shedding- its wonderful perfume about her wherever she moved. Berta Sullivan. -An Ifdeal Roommate To other girls who aspire to be ideal roommates, I give these valuable suggestions which I have gleaned from experience: First, always have your roommate make up the bed, as she may need the practice in after life. Second, give her the privilege of sewing in lace and keeping your uniform in good order, for no girl is thoroughly accomplished until she can do these things well. Third, make free use of her boudoirettes, toilet articles, and wardrobe, for she thereby will be learning a valuable lesson in unselfishness. Fourth, if she happens to be studying a book which you yourself need at the time, have no scru- ples in taking it, for she should early be taught to tread the path of self-denial. Fifth, never get up in the morning to turn on the heat; for your camarade de chambre, in whose welfare you are interested, needs the early morning exercise. Lastly, I, as an ideal roommate, have this as an underlying principle: Never to do anything that my roommate can do for me.

W. d. . 5 T has ever been the aim of the members of the Young Women ' s Christian Association of Belmont to stand for what is best in the life of the college; and this year, as in past years, they have not fallen far short of their ideal. About two-thirds of the students are mem- bers, and a large number of these are doing active work. The Association prospers, for among its most active members are those girls who stand highest in the athletic, social, and intel- lectual life at Belmont. Thus we are confident that as Belmont grows and the years go by, the Association, too, will grow, guided and strengthened by the best thoughts of the best intellects. What work has been accomplished this year by the Y. W. C. A. can best be learned from the reports of the different committees. At the beginning of the year the. demands to be met by the Finance Committee seemed many. There were the local expenses, the State work, the sending of delegates to Lebanon and Asheville, contributions to foreign missions, and the world ' s nickel. It seemed an almost impossible undertaking at first; but by means of dues, regular giving, the Christmas bazaar, and frequent candy sales, these demands have, one after another, been successfully met, and before the year is over the Finance Committee will, thanks to the responsiveness of the girls, be able to boast a clear settlement of all money matters. Last year the Missionary Committee planned to study, in all classes, only one country — India; and the work was especially interesting because Miss Alice Newell, our own secretary, is doing such good work there. But this year the Association decided on a different plan of work. The mission-study girls are divided into a number of classes, and each class studies a different country. This makes it possible for each girl to learn about the mission work in any country in which she is interested. The Devotional Committee last year decided to have a regular meeting of the Y. W. C. A. every Saturday afternoon, and their plan has been carried out this year. As a rule, the meetings are simply a prayer and song service, with a short talk by one of the girls; but several times there have been changes in this programme. One afternoon Miss Mary George White spoke of her work as secretary of the Southern Division of the Student Volunteer Movement, and of all for which this movement should stand. Later Miss Sinclair, the new Y. W. C. A. secretary for Tennessee and Kentucky, made a short address on foreign and domestic mission work and the purpose of the 27 Lebanon and Asheville conventions. The last speaker was Miss Lela Guitner, who has just been made the foreign secretary of the Y. W. C. A. Miss Guitner described her work among- the Indian girls and women, and in the course of an interesting - lecture showed some of the handi- work done by the girls in India and the pretty bright-colored garments worn by them. It was the Social Committee of the Association that gave the September reception to the new girls, the reception at Dr. Landrith ' s, helped the girls in carrying out the Christmas bazaar, and gave the reception in honor of Miss White. But the members of the Social Committee consider the giving of receptions in reality the smallest part of their work. Their aim is, principally, to estab- lish more friendly relations among the girls, to show to the too studious the value and necessity of recreation as well as work, to show to the indolent the necessity of work as well as recreation, and to show to the whole student body the necessity of companionship and work with Christ. But of all the Y. W. C. A. organizations, perhaps the Bible Study Classes have done more good than any other. These classes meet every Sunday evening, and have been studying and discussing the Gospel of Mark. The girls have all found, not only that this Gospel is interesting as a study, but that after the meetings each girl leaves the class with a quiet, serious heart and a prayer of thanksgiving for the goodness of God. The influence of these circles has been widespread, and will continue so long after the girls have left Belmont. Viola Plant. Myrtle Palfrey. Bernice Milton. W. d, 13.

C. S. R. R. are magic letters; for the distinction of being a member of the Self Controlling and Self Regulating Roll is one coveted by all the girls in College. The qualifications necessary to membership are those implied by the name of the roll, and the honor of membership is conferred by the joint action of the Faculty and the student body. This Roll is the most influential organization among the Belmont students, both because of its numbers and its ideal, the developing and strengthening in each girl of all true womanly qualities. In this Roll we have the beginning of the Student Government which we hope to see established in Belmont some time in the near future. l)e Self (TontrolUtto, anb Self Regulating Roll Officers Bernice Mil ton President Corrah Hayes Vice President LulaThroop Secretary Lalla Nolte Treasurer Melville Akin Chairman of Lookout Committee Mona Hudson Chairman of Membership Committee Myrtle Palfrey Chairman of Ways and Means Committee Nelle Nelson Fay Newell Earnie Nixon Lalla Nolte Annie Laura Newman Myrtle Palfrey Martha Plant Viola Plant Medora Rembert Anna Ross Mary Agnes Salmon Johnnie Sharpe 3ttembers Mignon Abston Josephine Barnum Lucile Batchelder Clara Bent Katharine Bone Mary Burford Helen Carthel Blanche Chase Olive Creary Melville Akin Elizabeth Barnwell Maggie Batts Lottie Bomer Frances Buchanan Blanche Burke Susie Chandler Gulie Corbett Sara Geers Ollie Hardy Hester Hill Corinne Howry Mary Hughes Ellen Kernachan Laura McClellan Margaret Meriwether Blanche Moore Susie Garner Elizabeth Chapman .-.

Loin de nous le jour s ' enfuit; Mais comtne un flambeau celeste, La bonte ' de Dieu nous reste; Kile nous garde et nous suit. Bonne nuit.! bonne nuit! Good night ! good night !

Until another day is born, In grateful sleep our eyelids close, To wait the morrow. Ah, who knows ? Perchance that day will never dawn. Until the morn ! until the morn ! Eloise Bradshaw. Tb )i Summer freeze Through the leafy trees it murmurs, Flutters o ' er the couch of pain, Cools the fevered brow and forehead, Until thoughts of rest remain. When the burning sun is pouring Its fierce rays on field and lot; When the cattle all stand panting, Thinking of some shady spot; To the man who daily labors For a livelihood to earn, Does it come with strength and courage, And for better things he yearns. How the summer breeze does brighten , Brightens and refreshes all, Bringing music as it whispers Through the spicy pine trees tall! LmiAN Stewart. Editorial « « $E take advantage of the editor ' s privilege this year to say the last word. Some one has said that the author of a book, like the owner of a house, should stand somewhere in it, smilingly to speed the parting guest. First, let us apologize to all those upon whom we have neglected to pass comment. We are truly sorry for it. We have tried to include everybody ; but come back next year and put your application in early. To those who have aided us in the production of this volume, no remarks are necessary. They will get their reward hereafter. So here ' s a health to all, and long life and suc- cess to Milady in Brown, and another year like 1908.

' .Hinillllii You would, perhaps, be sensible if you built the proverbial fence around yourself and shed forth no influence at all on fellow-beings. But you can ' t do that. Scorn all mankind if you will; lift high the shapely nose in a supercilious sneer ; with haughty mien, subside into the role of a bachelor-girl, who will never become an old maid, and you ' ll be like the Christian Scientist who just wouldn ' t have the toothache; but there came a time, all the same, when she couldn ' t crack pecans with those teeth. You are destined to preside, queen regnant, over a home of your own, an orphanage, or a female seminary, one; so you ' d as well begin to learn how. The first necessity for the best re- sults is to provide three well-prepared meals a day out of materials that will produce the best brain and brawn. All dyspeptics e ' er acquiesce.
