We've sought to do those things which claim Our best from year to year, To add a link to the Rosary Chain That to Davenport is so dear.

Page Eighteen PIILLTOP ECHOEST1 Ye fwlldlce Hiisttoiriice GWYN LENOIR Befel that in the autumn of the year 1925 there met together in ye olde scole of Davenport a goodly array of pilgrims prepared to set out on a strenuous pilgrimage for to seke a great reward: namely, a diploma. Anon they chose for their leader the ful seemly palmer, Cleta Black, for it was a rough journey, through unknown lands, that they were to make, and this trusty pilgrim seemed in all manner made for their captain. Forthwith this host of worthy and eager pilgrims began to Wende their way to that state of bliss in which you shall ful soon perceive them. Uncon- scious were they of the perilous way afore them, but ere many a fortnight befel them they found themselves sore tried, as adoun the rocky cliff of Solid Geometry they Wended their rough way. For in the dark caves thereof dwelt unseemely and mis- shapen beasts-truncated prisms, pyramids, and cubes-who awaited a chance to overcome them. And ever and anon as they maken their way through the dense forests of European History, were they sorely affronted by tribes of uncouth Visigoths and Huns, whom these warlike maidens could but with difficulty quell. Yet, through all these dangers, only four pilgrims-Greenwood, Brawley, McBur- ney, and Pulliam-departed from this goodly as- semblege for to seke other rewards. Eftsoons their merrie band was joined by three more hearty palmers-Cline, Giles, and Steele- who journeyed in their company half a year. For three short moons they sojourned by the wayside, during the summer of 1926, and that au- tumn gan again the search. The journey now look- ed brighter to them for namore should they be dub- bed 'ffreshiesf' but henceforth should be hailed as sophs,'l or mayhaps, by their beheast, as Hseniorsj' with all the privileges thereof. For such did they aspire. The whole host was saddened greatly by the ab- sence of some of its most loved companions who had helped to make the pilgrimage merrie for them. These companions of the previous year were Kirk- sey, Foster, Giles, Jennings, Lostetter, Martin, Bar- ber, Russell, Sims, Steele, and Taylor. lTwas at this time that their goodly crew was joined in all its privileged glory by several hale and hearty newcomers on the same quest as they. They had the pleasure of welcoming palmers Crowder, Farthing, Webster, White, Bradshaw, and Kiblers two. Palmer Black, having proven a most worthy guide for their wandering footsteps, and never having failed to lead them aright, was chosen to command Page Nineteen again during the second year of their journey. Ful many of these brave travelers won for them- selves honored names along the way because of their courage and wit. Pilgrim Binkley as president of the Y. W. C. A., which is a most goodly organiza- tion in every troupe of pilgrims setting out from ye olde scole of Davenport, deserves the highest of mention for proving herself worthy of that fair title. Pilgrim Murph no less deserves worthy men- tion for her hard labor in spreading afar the news of our exploits by being editor of 'Hilltop Echoes. And that brave knight Webster, who fought so courageously in the fierce tournaments of basket- ball, held the high title of Captain right nobly. Ful many others of their worthy sisteren have lent a hand in winning fame for their troupe, but these we deem of most import. But ere thou thinkest their way hast been all bushy, thornes and grievous aches, me thinketh 'twould be far best to sing forthwith of the happie joys which befel them on their eager way, for much time they spent in joyous song, musick, and laugh- ter, and each fair pilgrim told gay tales to make lightsome the hearts of the others. One torment they could scarce withstand was wiped away and, with it, many aches and tears and sleepless nights. This woe was called 'tthree hour exams. Namore will they endure such plagues. This viperous and three-headed monster was slain most gloriously by the united strength of every band of pilgrims of the scole headed by their brave overseer, jenkins. From thence they have journey- ed on, right joyous of their lot. As all was going well, they were again most blessed in the enlargement of their weary company by McConnell, Goode, and Bond, all brave and noble pilgrims. Befel that on a bright evening each and all of this worthy host, by their own agreement and con- sent, dined with much pomp and splendor at ye goode olde inne-Carlheim. A more joyous merrie company never had entered the doors thereof before. As 'twould by far take too much of time and space to make mention of all their joys, I would foreclose withouten any longer tarrying. Thou seest them here at this goodly assemblage in dignified array, at the very journeys end and in seeming gayety, but know ye that henceforth in their hearts will be writ deep the hardships they have long endured together, and the pleasures each and all have shared during their pilgrimage. And eremore will they more bravely face their pilgrim- ages because of their perilous yet joyful journey which has forthwith come to its close.

A-morwe, whan that day bigun to spring, up roose the gide and forth we riden on our weye. As we emerged from the density of the Forest of Decades, a blinding light shone brilliantly around us. What . . f' I sayithe light of the future is breaking forth, said my companion. The light became brighter and more penetrating. My ambling nag became frightened-no less did I. Dazed, I looked around and behind me. iLo there, old fogey! I say, don't get conceited and think you look like Spenser's 'Una'-although there is a resemblance-the knight 'n everything. My chee-ild! 'l tHorrified I viewed the child of three years who had thus addressed mel, who are you?l' I'm one of the orphans. 'fOrphans? My guide interrupted, We are now entering the city of Port Lenoir, the Model Community, estab- lished in 1930 by Misses Vallerie Duke and Anna Pines Howell. The class of '27 of Davenport Col- lege of Lenoir, N. C., approved the plans laid out by two of its members, and with the exception of one member, yourself, they have together made Port Lenoir world famousf' I gasped in astonishment. The guide went on: One of the important fea- tures of the community is its lack of government. There are no rules, no regulations, no laws. Misses Duke and Howell say this is due primarily to their aversion to the petty rules which they were com- pelled to keep while at Davenport. I want an Etheopean Enfantfl said the or- phanf' A what?'i A chocolate dollfl Then growing impatient, the little fellow said, I say, I want five cents, worth of fnigger babies. Do get the child some candy,l' I entreated our guide. The child shall be provided with candy from the K. K. Shop. Then the guide called, Taxi! Immediately a monstrous, yellow butterfly drew up to the curb. This is the new aero-auto, in- vented in 1931 by Miss Kathleen McConnell. By the aid of the wings, the long torpedo-like automo- bile is enabled to fly in the air. This necessitates the broadness of the streets, which I am sure you have noticed. These multi-colored birds fleck the sky and swarm the streets. The guide, the child, and I-leaving our nags to find their way home alone-stepped into the aero- auto, and drove toward the main thoroughfare. On the left, the guide informed me, is the es- tate of the wealthiest man in Port Lenoir-Mr. Bal- lard Lenoir, who married one of your classmates, Elizabeth Webster. When the community was es- iablished, Ballard followed Elizabeth here. He made his money by reviving one of the old songs that the boys sang when they serenaded the girls at the college back in North Carolina-'How I Love My Mabel, Pretty Mabelf His latest song hits are 'Fourteen Pieces of Cake,' and 'Eeny, Meeny, Miney, Mo.' On the right, he continued, scarce giving me time to speak, is the church in which they were married. Theirs was the first wedding ceremony to be solemnized in the new community. And by the way, Catherine Keever is pastor of the church, and it was she who joined the two in holy matri- mony. Catherine is a very forceful speaker-the same old Cat, except that now she practices what she preaches. The house across the way belongs to Thelma Stilwell, who has won fame as an author. Her best- known work is 'How to Catch a Man and Hold Himf which appeared without the author's name. Thelma is married, but the name of her spouse is not yet given to me. ' Page Twenty FULLTOP ECHOESII 'fBut, I asked, where is Sara Taylor? You know she and Thelma were roommates. I was just going to tell you-you know Sara was sworn into the Man-Haters Club in 1927, but now she is married, and also has a career. She has established a home for homeless children, which is a howling success. This little three-year-old tot is one of her chargesfl That sign-'White and Tate, Incorporated'- what is it? 'fOh, you know Nita White has an Eye-opener Factory. The latest fad is to shade the eyes the same color as the dress or suit. Nobody is ever seen nowadays with blue, brown, or black eyes. The color changes with the costume. Nita got her start with a lip-stick factory. When she was packing her 'duds' preparatory to leaving Davenport in 'Z 7 she found that her lip-sticks were so numerous that it was impossible to ship them to Georgia. Accord- ingly, she started the 'White Lip-stick Factory.' With her marriage the factory became 'White and Tate, Inc.'-Manufacturers of Eye-sticks. I gasped. 'tlmagine Nita a business woman! 'I Oh, lots of those flippant class mates of yours are business women. Helen Murph is editor of the 'Port Lenoir Gazette,' issued twice daily. The paper has a very wide circulation, which fact may be due, in part, to the original cartoons contributed by Willie Lew Crowder, who has taken the place once held by Bud Fisher and Geo. McManus. . 'fLib Van Dyke, her roomy, has a career too. She has taken the honored place of Gloria Swanson in the movies, her husband, Mr. Wilson, is her di- rector. On the hill across the way is Davenette Col- lege, established a few years ago by Betty jo Thompson. She is a second Miss Brown. There are about eighty boarding students and twenty-five town students. Betty Jo has made an excellent suc- cess, and enjoys to the nth degree her position of authority. 'fOh yes! and Agnes Kale is a multi-million- airessli' I have ceased to be surprised, I exclaimed. But beware of these get-rick-quick schemes. No, really she is English prof up at Davenette College. But how, I questioned, 'fdid she get so much money? Rich relations? No, she revived that Spenserian stanza bunk you studied at Davenport in 1927. Neat little for- tune! Maybeth Stiedley and Juanita Rouse are offi- cial organizers of revolutions for the college stu- dents against the faculty. They are very successful in their work. Page T wenty-One Jettie Shaver is the proprietor of the lingerie shop across the street, went on the guide. f'The name of the worthy establishment is 'The Shaver Silk Shop for Every Shape'. HBut, I interrupted, 'fwhere is Gwyn? She and Jettie had this desperate crush. Gwyn Lenoir is famous! After her part as a mandolin player in the Senior Class Play, she be- came interested in music and succeeded in perfect- ing the bicycle-harpette-an instrument similar to the harp. This is not strange, since she was once chief-tooter! t'Speaking of horns-that reminds me that Mary Seehorn has become a tennis champ. You know well she played back at school. At present she holds the world championship. Helen Wills is com- pletely eclipsed. Treva Hedrick, another Lenoir girl, also became interested in athletics: so it seems, since she be- came a Leeper. ' Mildred Mullis and Carmen Frye are the mar- velous musicians we hoped they would be. Carmen has finished her studies and is now touring the United States. Mildred is completing her musical education on the continent. We are expecting great things of her too. Mile, Cleta Black, a metropolitan opera singer, will make her first appearance on the concert stage of France on October 6, 1938. Mademoiselle Black is the favorite dramatic contralto of today. She has sung in many parts of the old world, and America is at her feet! 'LI-Iere we are at the Randy Kitchen. Let's get the enfant his sweets, I actually got in a few words. t'This shop, resumed the guide, 'fbelongs to Nell Binkley. She showed a marked aptitude for invest- ing new candies and sweets in Mrs. Kraft's classes. She has a chain of candy shops, but the Binkley headquarters are in Port Lenoir. We alighted from the aero-auto, and were en- tering the store when I stepped aside to let some girls pass. Who could they be but Flora Dula and Coline Powell. I learned that Flora had become a distinguished artist. She had just signed a contract to paint the portrait of the Prince of Wales. Coline has been serving as her model, and will resume her posing when Flora returns from England. But Coline,l' I asked, wasn't there another member of our class? I seem vaguely to remember having a lot of scraps with someone. Oh! she announced, uyou surely must be speak- ing of your sister, Evelyn. t'Of course it is Evelyn. But when is she?l' Why,7' laughed Coline, t'Evelyn is the damsel disguised as a knight or guide who has conducted you to Port Lenoir. V HILLTOP ECHOES WMOQS Prettzest A. A . ,,..,.

Page Twenty Eight F HWLTOP ECHOESII prophecy It was dark and foggy outside, large clouds hid the sky, everything seemed very still and quiet. There was something that kept pushing itself into my clouded brain, but what? It was something that I wanted to know, but I could not even bring that out of my depressed mind. I decided to walk through the wet woods and try to drive away the maddening feeling that en- veloped my whole being. I walked out into the 'semi-darkness, out through the still darker woods, thinking, thinking of my future, my present and my past. My past! My good old days at Daven- port! Then I knew what that persistent thought was: I wanted to know what all my classmates at Old D. Cf' were doing. I could think of no way to find out however, so I walked on farther into the dense woods. Suddenly everything turned entirely 'dark---I could see nothing. I stopped, unable to move. For several minutes everything was as still as death, not a sound, not the flutter of a leaf. Then all at once a breeze blew against me, and a small spot of light appeared just in front of me. I stood staring, a figure had stepped into the light. What could it be? I thought of 'fMacbethgl' could it be one of those dreadful witches that had caused the herols downfall? I had lost control of myself- something else had power over me. 'tFollow me, and you shall hear about your friends you have been thinking off' cried this queer looking creature. We moved forward. I could not stop. After we had walked a few yards we came to a dark cave. Bats were flying everywhere: small creepy things were crawling all around. I could see and hear- that was all. Another form came out. The first one moved behind a pot that was over a fire, and said: HTell me what you want to know before the fire goes outfl I heard myself saying to her, I want to know what each member of the Davenport preparatory department of 1927 is doing. The second witch stirred the contents of the pot, a cloud of steam arose, and out of that cloud a voice came. At first it was a murmur, then clearly it spoke: 'fAfter several years of much toil, Beuna Avery has become a prominent business woman on Wall Page T wenty-N ine Street. I Jean Cole is now living in Washington City, and is a leader in the exclusive social circles as the wife of the senator from North Carolina. Emma Dobbin is in Alaska with her sister, but she is going to fall in love soon and will then live in the Northern part of California. f'Mary Bertha Cordell has been the leader of Social Service work in New York for several years. f'Virginia Beall is now living addressed as 'Mrs. Prince of Wales,' because a year ago she married the Prince himself. The event was a shock to her friends. 'fLena Brown is a domestic science teacher at Meredith College. Dorothy Self has won a name for herself as an actress on Broadway. Mamie Teague is teaching art at Davenport College. 'fDoris Hunt has bloomed out into the most frivolous society belle of the class of 727. Margaret Weaver is the LChaminade' of Amer- ica. HThe first of the class to wear a wedding ring is Rachel Hickman. UAlice Dickinson has attracted much attention as the most graceful toe dancer in the Ziegfield Follies. The gentle spirit of Ruth Wolff has made for her many friends, among whom was an elderly lady who left her an immense fortune. Bill Washam is now an advertising agent for chewing gum. f'Louise Rabb has been drawing the covers for fThe House Beautiful,' 'House and Garden,' and many other magazines, for several years. Louise Fosters ambition was to be cashier in a drug store. At last this has been realized. Six months ago she secured the place in Marley's Drug Store. Recently, much to her joy, both she and Marley's fell into the hands of Earl Tate. The fire was growing low, but there was one other that had not been named. The queer figure standing behind the pot slowly disappeared, but the other figure said, Mary Gwyn Hickerson has be- come resigned to the fate of being an old maid. MARY GWYN HICKERSON, BEUNA AVERY.

Page Thirty-Two HILLTOP ECHOEST1 Uni oil? Ifzlliue lwiisiriniall Swainnip MARY SEEHORN AND GWYN LENOIR Irvin Binglow stirred the coals in his campfire with a hand which was none too steady. Why did he have such an uncanny feeling tonight? He did not know. Somehow he was prone to think of far- off things, of happenings that he had thought were forgotten. Why did this trail to the Dismal Swamp cause him to feel so queer? Other people had been there before. There was, in truth, nothing for him to fear. No Wild animals were known to inhabit the swampg and besides, his pistols and shotgun were lying within arm's reach. But despite all these thoughts, the unnatural feeling remained. When he had finished his scant meal, he sat down to meditate before going farther into the swamp. .Although he was extremely anxious to look for a certain unknown fungus growing in this swamp, he Wanted to think for a while before re- turning into the depths. Besides, he would hardly be able to find the plant before morning. Irvin seemed to be haunted by some memory. He could not exactly tell what it was. Suddenly, in the midst of his thinking, he seemed to discern, amid the smoke coming from the fire, a face which was strangely familiar. He clasped his pipe closely, and for a moment forgot to puff it. What could it mean? Lo, it was the face of his brother whom he had not seen for ten years, whom he had almost forgotten in his deep search for the unknown fungus. 'fWill!i' he whispered hoarsely, and started up from the log upon which he had been sitting. But no, it was only a fantasy, for the face disap- peared. 'CSO he was the one I was troubled about tonight, he mused. MI could not make out the reason for my disturbance. Why should I think of Will? He means nothing to me-any more. Immediately he sank again into a deep study. This time he was indeed troubled. He went over again in his mind that last scene with his brother, Will, who was the older by five years. He had had some money. Irvin, a very promising biologist in college, had needed money to go on an expedition in search of certain plants. Will, who was a promi- nent historian, was not interested in his brother's work, and seeing no use in this wild goose chase of Irvin's, had refused him the desired aid. Irvin immediately left Will, and that was the last he had seen of him for ten years. How well he remem- bered that last night with Will! How he had stormed and argued with him! But both were very stubborn. Ever since he had left, Irvin had been in search of the fungus. He had been too much engrossed in his work to think of Will. He could Page Thirty-Three not understand why this thought should haunt him now: yet he had seen his face in the smoke. It was all too strange. Then the present came back to him. For a mo- ment he forgot his brother, in thinking of his situa- tion now. Gad! but it was lonesome. Around him there was a stillness with which he could not fail to be impressed. Never before had he felt the silence so intensely. The weird atmosphere seemed to take hold of him and breathe itself into his very being. He felt himself a part of the place. MSO this is the Dismal Swamp! he muttered, al- most afraid to speak aloud in the tense darkness. Poor 'lost colony'! No wonder you disappeared if you came to a place like this. That reminds me, he added, L'Will was greatly interested in the 'lost colonyf He knew it was connected with this place. I wonder if he can be dead, and if it is his spirit I feel, and his face I saw in the smoke? No, Will can't be dead. I wish he were here. The 'lost colony' would be even more interesting to him. But I must not think of such things. He stood up. Immediately, there came to him, like a cry for help, the most agonizing sound he had ever heard. It was the long, mournful call of a whippoorwill. The cry of a lost soul, Irvin whispered. A deathlike stillness reigned for a time. Then, again, the silence was broken by the same pitiful cry. I'm going to find that thing, exclaimed Irvin. And snatching up a burning stick from the fire, he set out, following the mournful sound which issued from the depths of the Dismal Swamp. .Again there came flitting across his mind the old tradition of the early colonists, that the whippoorwill's crying is that of a lost soul wailing for its mate. I must find that bird-or whatever it is, Irvin murmured. Onward he went through what seemed to him to be the darkest, and certainly the dreariest place in the world. Again the bird uttered its sad note, this time nearer. His thoughts were a jumble of the lost colony, Will, and the bird. He did not stop to wonder how they could have any connection. He plunged on through the darkness, stumbling in mire and falling through the thick undergrowth of the dense woods, possessed all the while with that peculiar feeling of unreality. Behind a veil of clouds appeared the face of the full moon, like a shroud. Suddenly the young man found himself in a clearing in the midst of the woods. A clearing in the Dismal Swamp! It added all the more to the unreality. The bird must be near, for he could almost V TIILLTOP ECHOES feel its presence. His breath began to come in short, quick gasps. In the clearing Irvin could see mounds like graves, with a big, jagged-looking tombstone here and there to mark them. And there, on top of the largest tombstone he could distinguish, in the ghost- ly moonlight, the crouching whippoorwill. And again the bird poured forth that heart-rending cry of a lost soul calling in hopeless agony a mate who has gone to another world. After each agonizing call, Irvin could hear a low sob, as if each cry must be its last. The man stood petrifiedg the icy claw of fear held his very soul in an unbreakable grasp. A dark cloud covered the moon, like the lid of a black coffin suddenly closedg with a final choking sob the whip-poor-will ceased calling. But still through the oppressing darkness Irwin saw its glar- ing eyes. There seemed to be in its glance all the hate, the fury, and the vengeance of a soul con- demned. Through the stillness of the night there came a noise, very slight, yet loud enough to penetrate the almost tangible silence. Quickly turning his eyes from the weird bird which he now could see plainly -the moon had come from behind the coffin-like cloud-he glanced toward the spot whence issued the sound. A cold shudder passed over him: he could not move. A figure was approaching: it was a man. Gradually Irvin regained his composure, for, indeed he was not of a cowardly nature, and had never known fear of man. As the figure neared him, Irvin seemed to notice something familiar about the face, although its features were almost hidden behind a thick, un- kempt growth of beard. Still Irvin was puzzled. But out of his perplexity came the realization that the person recognized him, for there was a smile upon the lips, which seemed too oversized to open. At last came the glad shout, IrvinI Startled, Irvin looked more closely. Could it be -his brother? 'fls it you, Will?l' he gasped, unbelievingly. For answer the unkempt figure clasped him lovingly. Then, in a single moment, in that fond meeting, all wrongs and all evil thoughts were erased forever. But, Will, how came you here-this ghastly place-these graves?l' But even as he spoke, the bright light of the moon fell upon the clearing and showed the graves to be only carefully cut and split trunks of the huge trees which had been grow- ing there, and the tombstones to be only the jag- ged stumps of the fallen trees. The mysterious whippoorwill had flown, and Irvin was again living in a world of reality. Why Irvin, my dear brother, I came for a most foolish reason. I was here in the swamp this after- noon looking for signs of the 'lost colony.' Having decided to camp here, I was sitting by my fire when I heard the uncanny call of that whippoorwill, and somehow I just had to follow it, you see that it led me to this old clearing which I started to make for a cabin. is Pk Pls Many years have slipped by since that memor- able night. Will and Irvin are now the closest of pals: and even yet, when they hear the mournful cry of a whippoorwill, their hands meet in a firm, warm grasp, and they smile into each other's eyes. Un tflhfe lldliosyincirasiices off Vllwceafolliieirs BLANCHE BLANTON When I was very young and hadn't had much experience with teachers, I formed a theory about them. This theory, had it been stated in words, would have been somewhat like this: Teachers used to be like any other people but they were sent, while still young and pliable, to a place called a college, where they were made over. A college must be, I thought, some place rather like that to which moth- er took her last winters dress to be made over, for when the teachers come back from college they aren't a bit like what they used to be, except that they are the same color. This idea of mine about teachers changed long ago, but not until I studied psychology could I say that I really and truly understood them. Since I have been making a psychological study I have gone into the inner recesses of their minds and brought to light hitherto unsuspected reasons for some of their idiosyncrasies. My task has not been easy, for, fearing to form generalizations too hastily, I have not stopped with studying a few teachers but have studied many. I am sure that my students will thank me for explaining why teachers object to everything which gives their pupils pleasure, for I too used to puzzle gloomily over this. In fact, I started to wondering the first day I went to school. On the Sunday be- fore I started my mother gave me a penny to carry to Sunday School, but as I felt that, since I was old enough to start to school, I was old enough to manage my own financial affairs, I bought a stick of chewing gum the next day and Page Thirty-Four T HILLTOP ECHOESTT took it to school with me. This gum made a great many boys and girls envy me, but it also brought me enemies for I refused to let anyone else chew it. S0 you can imagine their delight when the teacher made me throw it in the waste basket. Salty tears sprang to my eyes but I was more mystified than hurt at such behaviour. How was I to know that the only reasons for her making me throw out my chewing gum was that she could not stand to watch me joyously chewing when she could not go through the same performance, just because it Wouldn't be quite worthy of her dignity? And then I never could understand why teachers objected to their pupils' taking a little snooze be- tween times to change classes, for it certainly keeps them from doing all the other things that teachers object to. In the minds of all the teachers I found a lurking dread that sometime the President of the college would come in and find the whole class peacefully sleeping while she lectured and expound- ed in vain. Then, of course, she would lose her posi- tion because of failure to keep her pupils amused. No teacher was ever able to convince me that it is wrong to write notes in class, and I am not convinced yet that it is the violation of any law or rule except the Golden Rule. It took every little work to find that seeing notes passed arouses curi- osity in the minds of the teachers, for it is already well-known that teachers are very curious people anyhow. After finding out so much, l realized that still the task remained to me to find out why they always take notes away from their pupils. This was not so easy, but at last I discovered that each had heard the old saying, 'tcuriosity killed a cat, and had felt much anxiety lest, if her curiosity were not satisfied, she would meet the same fate. No one wants to die any death soon and especially not the death of a cat. But do I hear someone ask, Why do teachers make their pupils work so hard? This is one of the questions of the day which many have attempt- ed to answer and have not. I have at last found the correct answer, which no one-not even teach- 'ers thebselves-will dare contest. Teachers are only weak human beings for all they pretend to be otherwise. So they are subject to human weak- nesses and especially to one which all the world succumbs to-the desire for revenge. In their school days they were made to do things which they disliked to do. Now they say, Vengeance is mine, and they take it out on their pupils. A Circuit-Ridieiays lmaiuiglhitieir' CATHERINE KEEVER. Eighteen years ago I entered the Methodist ministry-not at a conference in some dignified church, but in an humble parsonage. It was not by my consent that I became a preacher's daughter. Sometimes I think that if they had asked me about it, I should have chosen a rich merchant for a father. Then I should never have had to wear handed-down dresses, live in houses on the wrong side of the street, or try to be good. At other times I would not have changed my circuit-rider father for any in the world. I suppose that when people think of preachers' families, they picture something like gypsies. In fact, we do, have a roving spiritg if We don't inherit it, we soon acquire it. I left my first appointment when I was three months old, and have been moving every two or three years since. I used to cry every time my father returned from conference and said we would not move that year. When we did move, I was very glad. I don't believe I even regretted leav- ing my little friends until I was at least fifteen years old, and then I didn't mind it very much, because of the excitement. No doubt it would surprise people to know that we had only three pieces of furniture-a piano, a sewing machine and a baby's chair. The good peo- ple realized that if We were to move so often, we Page Thirty-Five could not be burdened with so much furniture, and consequently they provided the parsonages with their heavy furniture. That was half the fun in moving-getting new furniture. Sometimes it wasn't new at all, even old enough to be 'tantiquef' and then again it was really new and stylish. How- ever, most of the time it was neither old nor new enough to be in style. Usually there was enough such as it was, but I have seen the time when I had to sleep in the bath tub when there was company. At one place: the furniture was very scarce. When the Ladies' Aid met at the parsonage, instead of chairs, we rolled soap boxes and trunks into the best room for the ladies to sit on. Before the next meeting we had chairs. Did you ever see a parsonage that had a shady porch in the afternoon? I used to wonder why none of them did. Then I learned, a few years ago, that the lots were cheaper on the sunny side of the street. Grey paint must not cost much either, for most parsonages are painted grey. I used to say that when I got rich I was going to give a lot of money to build parsonages with shady porches and pretty furniture. Now I have decided that even if I were to have the luck to get rich, I'd leave things just as they are, so the other circuit- riders' daughters could have as much fun as I did. HILLTOP ECHOESI-' 1 SllCCllSlfl1CBSS:':'f:'llDlI llVC6 SHOWS! LAZELLE MITCHELL HGrey, dear, I've decided since our talk that we could never be happy together. I'm sorry, but you yourself admitted that you were selfish. Little did we think when we marked these words that they might be repeated of us: 'Had we never loved so kindly, Had we never loved so blindly, Never met or never parted, We had ne'er been broken-heartedf Ever, DAVID.U Grey folded the letter slowly. What could he mean-'tloved so blindly?'l He had told her be- fore that she was selfish, but did he mean it? She could not believe it, yet she knew that it was true. She pulled off the ring slowly and hesitatingly. Then she rose from her place by the window, walk- to the dresser, and took out of the drawer a box. As she placed the ring in it a tear that she could not stop fell on the blue velvet lining. Ashamed that she should feel thus when he cared so little, she blushed, and tried to wipe off the stain, but she could not. She then placed the letter and box in the drawer. For some time Grey was miserable. The days were monotonous-no delightful drives in the eve- ning with David: no more tennis with him: and, worst of all, no more long conversations in the twilight about poetry and authors. Everything she saw reminded her of him. When she walked into the garden, there was a piece of ribbon off the last box of candy: she went into the dining room and there on the table were the roses he had brought on her birthday a few days ago: then when she walked into the parlor, there on the table lay a book of poems they had been reading. It was a new book and they had read only a few selections but even some of these were marked. First was the one David had closed his letter with. They had laughingly marked around it one night, just for a variety, they said. Idly she turned the pages. Noticing another one with heavy marks around it, she read: All the breath and all the bloom Of the year in the bag of one bee: All the wonder and all the wealth Of the mine in the heart of one gem: In the core of one pearl all the shade and the shine of the sea: Breath and bloom, shade and shine Wonder, wealth, and how far above them Truth that's brighter than gem, Trust that's purer than pearl, LC Brightest truth, purest trust in the universe All were for me In the kiss of one girl. The were was marked through and over the top of it was written are. David had written it, then he had given her the best kiss since the night he proposed. As she thought of this, Grey's lip quiv- ered, but she bit it hard and resolutely, closed the book and placed it in the book case. As the days grew into weeks Grey realized that such brooding would never do. She also knew she had to have some kind of diversion. At first she was at a loss as to what to do. Finally her mother solved the problem. Unlike many wealthy moth- ers Mrs. Shirley wanted her daughter to be of some good in the world. She proposed that Grey try welfare work. At first the idea was not a very striking one to the unhappy girl, and just as she was on the verge of saying, No, she thought of Davids letter. Selfish? Yes, she was. Well, David Keith could never from that day say she was selfish. Fine, she told her mother. I'll bet Gladys will be surprised when she finds that I of all peo- ple have decided to go into her work. As a result of this decision she enlisted as a slum worker down on East Side, as the slum district of Rosemont was known. Grey, much to her mothers surprise, as well as her own, became very much interested in her Work. Not only her time did she give but her resources. Each morning when she left in her little blue road- ster for the tenement house where she was stationed, she carried a basket of fruit or flowers or perhaps some pieces of clothing for some little child or un- fortunate grown-up. Again, it would be books for the girls who were anxious to learn yet were com- pelled to work all day. Thus time passed-until giving became a part of her. Where once before had been in her heart selfishness and unrest there was now unselfishness and peace-the greatest peace that Grey had ever known. Only one thing was lacking and this she would not even admit to herself. Soon she gained for herself the title of The Angel of East Side, and she was really the idol of the poor people of the tenement. Many a mother fairly vowed that the angel had saved her babyis life by bringing it medicine, buying it milk daily, or carrying the tired mother and fretful baby out into the country for a breath of air. More often than not in her frequent drives around the town for medicine, she had some poor pale child by her side, making it happy for a while. All over East Side and Ruggles she organized clubs that would Page Thirty-Six T PIILLTOP ECHOE51 help these people to live better and happier lives. One day she had been holding a club meeting in Ruggles and was on her way to East Side to see a sick child. In the car beside her sat Glenn Pierce, one of the children from Ruggles that she had been teaching to read. As she drove through the town she was pointing out the letters and reading the words on all the signboards. At last Glenn began to pick out the signs and read them himself. When they passed through Delmo Park, one of the pret- tiest residential sections of Rosemont, Grey noticed that the beautiful old house known as The House in the Grove, that had been closed so long was now open. People were moving in. While she was noticing this, Glenn's eye caught a new kind of signboard and he asked Miss Shirley to read it for him. It was as follows: t'Sickness-Drive Slow, and it indicated the 'fHouse in the Grove. More sick people! Who could that be? These signs that a year before she had boasted held no in- terest for her were now a constant source of amuse- ment. Probably this was some Upoor little rich boy who was dying for lack of play and outdoor exercise. Again, perhaps it was a rich old lady who wanted to spend her last days in the mountains. Whoever they Were, Grey knew that she was inter- ested in them. Never before had anything so simple caused her so much worry. She realized that it was silly to think so much about it, yet somehow she couldn't close out the thought of the childs or the old lady's suffering. One afternoon, as she drove all the way around Delmo Park to her home, just for a glimpse of some one who lived there, she was rather disappointed that there was not a sign of life about the old house. Then she glanced up at the large old sleeping porch, and there on the right side Grey saw a rolling chair, but try as she might she could see nothing except a sleek black head over the back of the chair. She could tell nothing of What manner of person it was -whether an old lady or a tall childg a young man or a girl. So instead of satisfying her curiosity this glimpse only intensified it. She was more determined than ever to find out who the person was. Going to the florist, who was an old friend of her fathers she or- dered a huge bunch of roses to be sent to 217 Hill- view Avenue. f'Will you send your card? asked the florist. No, not this time. I will next time. When jack delivers these flowers have him do his best to find out who is sick there. I know it sounds like the craziest idea a girl ever had, but I feel as if I'd like to know who it is just because they live in our old home. Grey was on pins until the next day. But when she visited the florist again, he only said, HWell, Page Thirty-Seven Grey, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but jack didn't find out a thing except that the sick person is young. He thinks most probably it's a young woman since the mother said something about 'Davie' Jack seems to think that no man would tolerate being called by that name. Another point he has on his side is that he had a girl one time named 'Davie,' so he knows it's a girls' name. Grey was quite relieved when she discovered that it was a girl. Now she needn't hesitate about send- ing her things. In a few days she would pay her a visit. Today she decided that Davie should have a basket of fruit and also the flowers. Into the basket of fruit she put a card bearing these words: From one little girl who used to be sick in that house to another little girl who is sick there noW.'l The next day she varied the present. Instead of the regular flowers and fruit she sent a box of candy and a book. The book was the one she and David had been reading, and since it always brought a pang to her heart, she decided that it was better out of sight. In the big House in the Grovel' sat a very im- patient Davie. This young person had the idea that sickness was very annoying. When Grey's fruit and flowers came the mother of the 'fHouse in the Grove was at once asked to go to the florist and demand the name of the donor, but this the worthy lady refused to do. Then came the book. If you had been there you might have seen it tremble slightly as if the reader had a faint recollection of something quite disturbing. Davie turned the pages rather aimlessly until the book almost automatical- ly fell open at a place where the words were marked: 'fBrightest love, purest' trust in the universe, All were for me In the kiss of one girl. Had you been able to read the thoughts of the reader as one sees a moving picture, you might have seen something like this: A young man seated on a chair reading from a book of poems, on the arm of the chair sat a girl, her head resting on his shoulder: her lips were parted with pure love and joy as he read to her these words. Then you'd have seen him give her a kiss that he could no more resist than he could resist breathing. k Oh, what a fool I was! Davie muttered. Perhaps this is why the sister of the big house was requested to find the name of this benevolent friend, at any price. When she went to her friend, the florist, the next time, he told her of the girl who had been there con- cerning the name of the giver of those flowers. And did you tell me?l' she asked. UNO, sir-ee-e. I don't usually break my word to I HU-LIFOP ECHOES a lady for no more cause than that. But she left a letter for you ffrom the patientf The old gentle- man handed her a sealed envelope. Dear unknown friend, I have enjoyed this delightful mystery to the fullest extent, but now that I am almost well, won't you come yourself, sometime?', Now that's not a bad idea, she told her moth- er. Why not try it? Accordingly the next day, a slick blue roadster drove up the long driveway to the UI-louse in the Grovef' A charming young woman alighted and climbed the broad steps to the front porch. When she rang the bell a maid told her that the young man and his mother were expecting her. f'Young man? What have I done now? she thought. Grey followed the maid up to the sun- parlor where the patient was seated in a rolling chair. As she spake Davie turned around. And there sat-could it be?-David! 'fDavid!f' she said slowly. Grey! '7 he said at the same time. Then they both laughed softly. Pk Pk Pk Pk It is twilight. They are both seated by an open window-he in his rolling chair, she on a low stool by his side. One of her hands is held in both his. Look-did we not see a tiny sparkle about her third finger? Now he looks down at her. Grey, are you perfectly happy? Then with a light of perfect peace and love she looks up at him as the twilight closes in about them and the first star peeps out. My M.MSIC iRfdLfCiiS CLARICE BOWMAN. Yes, I love to talk about my music rack, even though it exists only in fancy. In my minds eye I enjoy picturing the arrangement of the musical selections of which I am most fond on the shelves of my imaginary music rack-it gives a feeling akin to day-dreaming. For is there not the satis- faction that comes frorn a sense of complete own- ership? My music rack is different from those of others-it is more nearly ideal. I can change it at willg just as I am free to choose my music I am free to plan my rack. One reason why I must trust to my imagination for my music rack is that I would never be able to make a collection, ma- terially, of all the selections I would have in it, I can place on my imaginary music rack borrowed selections, or even some things of which I have never seen the music. One advantage in not hav- ing a real music rack is that I don't have to be al- ways dusting and keeping the music in order. My music rack usually has six shelves. I say 'tusuallyw because sometimes when I am not in a very charitable mood I omit my beginners exercises and those difficult pieces over which I have labor- ed so hard that they bring back unpleasant mem- ories. But if my music rack be complete these must be given an honorary place. I have put them, then, on my first shelf, because-well, the beginning should be first. I remember well how I used to loathe practicing Virgil's First Exercises for the Pianoforte, and how many times I have lost thid- den, to be honesty f'Schmidt's Exercises as soon as one music lesson was over, not to find it until the next. Then, too, Pischna and Czerny must be given credit for helping to cause my unhappiness. I have also placed on this shelf my first real pieces over which I was childishly but properly thrilled, among them are the f'Etudesl' and f'Edelweiss Glide Waltz. On my second shelf are selections which I whol- ly enjoygmusic expressive of a light-hearted and happy mood. Whenever Dame Fortune bestows some unlooked-for happiness, I go to my music rack, shelf number two, for its expression. First, there's Rubinstein's Melody in F, then Men- delssohn's 'Spring Song, and Schubert's Moment Musical. These seem to arouse in me the same feelings that I get from the reading of L'Allegro. I am very fond of my third shelf. It is like a faithful friend, who is always ready to serve. I go to it often because I need the soothing and re- freshing power of its music. Although I cannot really play with interpretation the music on this shelf except when I am in the mood to feel the deli- cate sweetness of it, yet, no matter how I feel at the beginning, the playing of such selections as Simple Aveu, ffBarcarolle, and HSextette from Lucia will usually put me in a more cheerful and charitable frame of mind, and will enable me to play with more feeling the deeper music. But my fourth shelf is my favorite, and it is the most sacred-the ffholy of holies, so to speak. I would not dare play the music belonging to this Page Thirty-Eight V HU-T-TOP ECHOEQFI shelf except when I am in a suitable mood, and when my thoughts and feelings will harmonize with the music. I have placed here only those selec- tions which have a real, a vital message to the soul and which seem to impart a deeper meaning to life itself. I can play these best at twilight more rev- erently, more feelingly-they seem to belong to the evening, hush. In..Q'VlLarblings at Evel' I can al- most hear. df' . The Nightingale that from the blooming spray Warblest at eve when all the woods are still. just at sunset when the misty blue of the twilight begins to envelop the earth, and the stars begin to twinkle in the sky, then only is it fitting to play Wagner's 'tTo the Evening Star, as 'tSilently, one by one, in the infinite meadows of A heaven, Blossom the lovely stars, the forget-me-nots of angelsfl tion for many a theme or speech. Then, I love Traiimeri for the sweet feeling of repose and consolation it brings. But no song is so fraught with meaning and with delicate emotions as .is Schubert's Serenadefl It is my deepest, my sin- cerest friend. Somehow, when I hear its lovely strains my heart is enkindled beyond words. But I must not linger here too long. There is on my fifth shelf music which comes unbidden to my fingers-music which, although it is more familiar, I never tire of playing. ttSome- weher a Voice is Calling, HOne Fleeting Hourf' The Rosary,', and The End of a Perfect Day are gems in my collection. Last, on my sixth shelf is my musical Bible- hymns and religious songs that I love particularly because Mother and Father love them. The mere mention of their names is sufficient to bring a flood of memories and emotions. A few of the many are: Nearer, My God to Thee,'l f'Rock of Ages, Abide With Me, f'Saved By Grace, 'tBeautiful Isle ofSomewhere,' and 'fGolden Bellsf' I have never before pictured so completely my music rack in conjecture. I have experienced much the same joy from describing this child of my fancy as one gets from looking over the pages of an old scrapbook. Then I turn to dear old Humoresque.7' It is an old friend, and a very dear one. Each time I play it I discover in it some new depths of hidden meaning. Humoresque has given me inspira- Dawn, Day, lmiulslk HELEN MURPH First rays of morning light reveal Bright flowers bathed in dew, The rugged mountains far away, So lately hid from view By misty veils, proud lift their heads To skies of heavenly blue. First lingeringly grey Dawn advances, But she must haste away, For following close with eager steps To mount the throne of Day, There comes a King with golden crown And glittering array. In splendor, peace, and joy he reigns, Majestic and alone, Until the silent shadows creeping Soft whisper, 'tDay is donegw And with the first bright star of eve, Dusk comes into her own.
