In fact, as the years go by, she experiences an exer-increasing sense of youthfulness. The Schoolma ' am has been a bond drawing together the whole school, binding us more closely to faculty, to students, to all who serve, yes, to the very buildings, trees, and hills. To the alumns it has been an annual reminder that once a Normal girl means always a Normal girl; to the stu- dent body, an inspiration both for the present and for the years to come. To future students the Schoolma ' am hopes to gi -e a suggestive and not uninviting picture of the welcome that is to be; anu to all her friends she aspires truly to repre- sent the life in our school, and to bring a joyous message from Blue Stone Hill. iFarultu JULIAN A.

M ' Ledge Moffett is finishing her course in Domestic Science at Columbia University. She expects to take her degree in June. Lucy Madison is at Randolph-Macon Woman ' s College in Lynchburg. All of our members except three, besides those already mentioned, have held good positions during the year. It has been unusually pleasant for some, because of the fact that there have been two or more in the same place. Roanoke has claimed fi ' e, Richmond four, Charlottesville three, and Harrisonburg has had se -en within its borders. Nineteen members of the Association have responded to the call of the rural schools, and we hear only good reports from their work. Misses Davis, Lyle, and Shepperson in Richmond, and Royce in Charlottesville are supervisors in the public schools. Miss Madison as super- visor of Domestic Science in Albemarle County is doing splendid work, also Miss Dudley in Halifax County. The Student Aid Fund which was started by the first Senior Class and is maintai;ied bv the Alumna? Association has been used to advantage this year for four worthy Seniors. Nearly all the members have signified their intention to return for Commencement and the annual meeting of the Association. It is rumored that Dan Cupid will prevent several from attending the June meeting, but at the time this goes to print nothing definite has been ascertained.

I raiiiuij September 26, 1913 D his parents went e ery year to Jerusalem at the F ' east of the Passover. And when he was tweh ' e years old, they went up after the custom of the Feast; and when they had fulfilled the days, as they were return- ing, the boy Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and his parents knew it not; but supposing him to be in the company, they went a day ' s journey; and they sought for him among their kinsfolk and acc]uaintance; and when they found him not, they returned to Jerusalem, seek- ing for him. And it came to pass, after three days they foimd him In the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both hearing them, and asking them questions; and all that heard him were amazed at his understanding and his an- swers. And when they saw him, they were astonished; and his mother said unto him, Child, why hast thou thu; dealt with us? behold, thy father and I sought thee sor- rowing. And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? Wist ye not that I must be about my Feather ' s business? And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them. And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth; and he was subject unto them; and his mother kept all these sayings in her heart. And Jesus advanced in wisilom antl stature, and in favour with God and men. Prayer September 26, 1913 ELP us, O Father, to find our work, arid to find ourselves in our place of work. Help us to find some of thy work as our work, and may our place of work be thy house. Help us to love our work and our place of work. We thank thee, O Father, for work and for a place of work. We thank thee for work because of the joy it may give us, because of the service it may enable us to render others, and because of the honor it may offer thee. We thank thee for a place of work because of the bless- ings and associations that a place may have, and because of the opportunities and inspiration that a place may give. Help us to see Jesus in the belo ed city and in his Father ' s house. Give us the same joy that he found there. Give fus the same understanding in our hearing, the same wisdom in our speaking, the same foresight in our pur- poses. Help us, like him, to give as well as to receive; to be positively responsive, as well as passi ely eager. Help us to see Jesus as both disciple and master. Help us, from him, to catch the true spirit of the pupil, and to learn the true skill of the teacher. Help us, like him, to recognize the supreme claims of heaven without neglecting in any measure the sacred claims of home; help us to be tenderly mindful of those who keep all our doings and sayings in their hearts. We offer our thanks and make our petitions in His name. Amen. SEMOR.. i nit0r OIlaBB MOTTO Who does the best circumstance allows does well, acts nobly.

For herself thy benediction As she goes to her new task. She would fain stay longer with thee,. But that Duty ' s -oice calls, Go! So she says farewell with sadness. And departs with heaci bowed low. So, goodbye, O Blue Stone buildings. That have housed us all so well ; Keep within your walls the secrets Which, if speaking, you might tell Of the happy hours we ' ve spent here. Of the tears when we ' ve been sad. Of the struggles with our lessons, Of the times when we ' ve been bad. And farewell to you, dear schoolmates; You have been such faithful friends That we feel that Life deals harshly When we know that she intends Us no more to be together, But to go our different ways; So we say, Farewell, dear schoolmates, On this saddest of our days. And to those whose hands have guided Us along the knowledge-path — Each of whom with wisest counsel Many and many a barrier hath Made for us of easy access — Say we now as we depart, Farewell, and we say it sadly, For they ' re dear to every heart. Take our promise, Alma Mater, To remember whose we are; Thy dear name is in our keeping; We shall guard it, though afar; Each will try her very utmost So to act and so to be That the world may say, and truly, She hath honor done to thee! fuinr (Ulaaa l tstnrij ERE I to attempt to write a complete history of the Class of 1913, following Doctor Wayland ' s suggestion, my first work would be to consult the diaries and letters of those few of t)ur hand who entered the school in September, 1909. But I am reminded that former historians, since they li ' ed through this memorable year themseK ' cs, have covered this field. My task, then, will be to give a history of our labors and pleasures since that bright September day in 1910 when my program-card, mystery of mysteries, was made out, along with those of my forty-five Sophomore class-mates. The misery and the doubt that harass those who pursue the pathway of the 47 s and 48 ' s is a present fact, and history is a record of past events. We became Juniors; yet alas, as we looked around us, only a third had returned. The others were putting to the test the methods and ideas acquired during the previous year, (jladly we welcomed and soon learned to know and to lo -e many new companions of the classroom and of the joyous home box. f i] ,ij winter passed away; then the Seniors planted a tree, and we knew, indeed, that we were Juniors. June came, and we noted with watchful eyes — for a year hence we must do these things — how the bonfire was lighted; how the Princess fought and yielded; how the Seniors snatched one last basketball game; how in gala dresses they left the President ' s reception for the Alumna? banquet; how with slow steps they wound their way over the nature-set stage and bequeathed to us many things. Lastly, we observed the ease with which they took their hard-earned diplomas. Again the mail brings us purple and gold badges, and once more we are back. P. T. loomed large on many a program-card. Officers were chosen, senior pri ' ileges granted, and then, when the holidays were at hand, we sang our Christmas carols. Two of our instruc- tors must needs leave us that they might drink deeper of the Pierian Spring; so with joyous hoard and goodhye song, we hade them go =1: Pictures are taken, with many a sigh from us, and much plead- ing for haste on the part of the editor-in-chief. Notebooks are handed in, and the hardest examination I ever saw, is safely past. Then comes hurried scanning of lessons, for The Gentle Shepherd and graduating essays demand much of our time, and teachers and school- mates hid us come and forget the worries of final tests — and the history of the Class of 1913 is told.

Because the comet in its recent journey across the firmament upset all ideas of the astrologists and spoiled our hope of help in that direction. IV. Because some people do not approv ' e of cards. V. Because we could find no suitable witch who was willing to take us upon her broomstick. VI. Because we think wishing-wells are not exactly up-to-date. VII. Because we could find no phrenologist to undertake the task on account of the new styles of hair-dressing used by our young ladies. VIII. Because in these days e ' ery possible fate is already labeled Taken. IX. Because, lastly and chiefly, our soothsayer has been quarantined with pink-eye. One might have hoped for rose-colored visions in consequence; but Mrs. Brooke and Dr. Firebaugh strictly forbade her — seer though she be — to look into a book or even into the future. We subjoi,n herewith some of the queries and faint auroral flushes recorded in the notebook of the prophetess before she was blinded and cast into prison, though it seems that even then she was beginning to see double. It is impossible to decide whether lone Bell will be professor of mathematics at Columbia University, or whether she will be a tight-rope performer with Barntim and Bailey. Will Bowser be a leading lady at a dog-show, or will she have an M. D. degree — Master of Dogs? We do not know whether Harriet Brown will be busy baking brown bread to a delicate brown at the bakery of Brown and Company, or wheth- er she will be matron of the Brownville Orphan Asylum for little brown children. Will Airy Fairy Shirley, the graceful member of the Senior Class, be engaged in making airships, or will she be the grass widow of an army lieutenant? We are almost certain of the fact tliat Nannie Cox will be suuerin- tendcnt of the history department in the New York public schools; yet it is also possible that she may be winning fame with Normal students, as the in -entor of a new way of cooking stewed tomatoes. Can this be ' irginla F.dwards whom we see? Why, she is tlri ing a poor man to Reno by her incessant laughter. Or is she the leading spirit in that little ideal one-room school? Does this meek, quiet, gentle, dignified matron closely resemble Janet Farrar? Or is Janet that chic ballet-dancer who will win fame at home and abroad? We cannot decide whether Mary Fox is to be a prize-fighter or the head of a large kindergarten in Arizona. Effie Garland might be the compiler of an up-to-date primary text- book called Astronomy and Its Influences on the Young Mind, if she is not riding a bronco on the Big X Ranch. At first we thought surely Marguerite Garrett would make a great success at settlement work, but then we reflected that ' jerhaps she might spend all her time in practicing for her presentation to the next queen of England. If Marceline Gatling does not become supervisor of calisthenics at King ' s College, she would be a suitable lady companion to Hetty Green. Unless all signs are wrong, Margaret Gay will become a great suffragette leader, or at any rate the helpmeet of some fortunate man. Is Lillian Gilbert going to be the Superintendent of Schools in Patrick County, or is she going to be Mistress of the Wardrobe for the divine Sarah? We pause for a reply. Can Juliet Gish be that sedate missionary to the heathen of Wake Island, or will she tame wild animals in a zoological garden in Colorado? 7 his is easy: Marjorie is e ' ther to become one of the leading actresses of the day, or is going to make a little house seem like home to a man in the Quaker City. We wonder if Etna Hardaway is to take Mrs. Eddy ' s place as a leader of Chris tian Scientists, or is to be a waitress in a Chinese restaurant. Helen Harris will probably either stuily archeology at the L niversity of Munich, or continue to engage in the time-honored occupation of making a trousseau. ou may imagine that Margaret Hellin will become a x ' Z c iiuidnW who designs wonderful gowns, but who can ever tell? She might make extensive geological research in the region immediately surrounding the South Pole. We think Mabel Hitt ' s ambition is to be a governess in a family of ten small children — circumstances, however, may make her the persuasive agent selling a book entitled High Living at Fourteen Dollars a Month. If all is well, Annie Holbrook will either study for the L. I, degree at Ciiicago Uni -ersity, or will be the cheerful guide for those who wish to climb the Andes. It is hard to tell whether Louise Holland will make herself famous as the author of Y. W. C. A. tracts, or as the head of New York ' s most successful matrimonial bureau. Elizabeth Keiley will ser ' e a prominent Virginia daily as head of the department entitled Adxice to the Lovelorn ; or is she, when we get our rights, to be the chief executive officer of these United States? We think Ruth Keys is cut out for a swimming teacher at Atlantic City or a stenographer of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. What do the Fates say about Bessie Leftwich? Will she entertain the public by playing the piano at a moving picture show, or by writing stirrmg editorials for Harper ' s ffeekly? We think we see Mary Lewis taking Miss Speck ' s place at the Har- risonburg Sta,te Normal and Industrial School, unless she really prefeis to sell tickets entitling her to one perfectly good ride on a soul-stirring merry-go-round. Does Lucile McLeod become a clair ' oyant who calls spirits from the other world? Or does she become the housekeeper for a company of Benedictine monks? Does a tall, dark young man cross P -ances Mackey ' s path? Or does she nobly sacrifice her young life to the lofty profession of sign- painting? !, ■, . We think sometimes that b ' rances Menifee will establish a new religious sect called the Moaning Groaners; at other times we seem to hear her playing the latest ragtime on a hand-organ. Where should we find Martha Miller? We know that she must be the leading architect in a thriving western town, or else she is to be found at a home for the mentally unsound, incoherently murmuring, Inner, outer, outer, inner. We had some trouble with the future of Sarah Moffett, yet it is now ahnost clear that she is to be Lady Superior at St. Alphonsius ' Con- ' ent, or the author of a sensational popular novel. We see right away that Sara de Moss is to be a snake-charmer who forms the chief attraction at arious country shows, or else she will ha ' e a high class hair-dressing establishment on Fifth Avenue. Pattie Puller is to be the head of the world movement for peace or the heroine of many popular mo ' ing picture melodramas. Is Mabel Rawls to be the leader of the insurrection in Mexico or the instructor in primary methods at the Teachers ' Training College, Con- stantinople? We picture Idell Reid as a lady doctor; but something tells us to be prepared for news of her exploits in the Klondike region. Alma Reiter is to be either an out-and-out baseball fan or the chair- man of a Ladies ' Aid Society. We cannot tell whether Mary Ruebush is to write an annotated and abridged edition of Froebel ' s works for the use of future classes in the history of education, or whether she is to compose some amusing light operas. Olivine Runciman will probably be first violin in Boston Symphony Orchestra unless she becomes a clerk in a ten-cent store. Will Annie Sale invent a new method of exterminating mosquitos, or will she sell her brain to the Smithsonian Institute? Carrie Sayers is going to be the lady proprietor of a boarding house for gentlemen, or a disorganizer of county tomato clubs. In the latter event her life would be in danger of onslaughts from riotous Normal stu- dents; so let us say she and one of her boarders lived happily ever after. We don ' t know whether Carrie Scates will work by the day in a furni- ture factory, or whether she will marry a millionaire who raises bananas in Central America. In case the latter fate is hers, we respectfully hope that she will not forget her loving classmates. Kate Selby is to write a book entitled Hints on Senior Etiquette, unless she follows in the footsteps of Madame le Brun. Will Mary Settle win notoriety by being the heroine of Robert Chambers ' s latest no -el, or will she become leader of the pansophic mo ' e- ment at her Alma Mater? What is Maude Shaplergh ' s mission in life? Will she become surgeon in a children ' s hospital, or marry a funeral director and help him with his business? Julia Staples will either be the head of a inaui department of a popular monthly, or a prominent sociologist in the South Sea Islands. Mary Stephens will be a globe trotter, or write a book for practice teachers on How to Write Twenty Lesson Plans in Twenty Minutes. What will suit Miss Suter? Edith will either invent a new way of doing two things at once, or she will be the president of the National Board of the Y. W. C. A. Anna Ward may run against Dr. Wayland for the chair of history at the University of Virginia, or she may marry a Russian czar. We imagine we can see Janie Werner in a sanitarium recuperating from an attack of the sleeping sickness, or perhaps she will be umpire at the world series of baseball games. Tell us, will Mary Wilson be an anarchist? Or does she look more like an evangelist? Four members of the class have been left out. That is too bad. Let us see what we can do. We see in a far western land a school for orphans, the Froebel Memorial School. Miss Jones, we think, is the directress of this school. She is also at the head of the poultry-raising department and sees that each dear orphan knows the taste of chicken and duck. Miss Heavener is superintendent of the mathematics department, while Misses Elizabeth Miljner and Dorothy Brown take care of the music — both vocal and instrumental lessons being cheerfully given. Who knows, however, but that some gallant knights may come riding by and spoil the dreams of these fair maidens?

The cle er Juniors all had planned To gi e a circus — oh, so grand! So that brilliant class was made Into a flashing street parade. — First came jesters and clowns so gay, In motley dressed and bright array. Following, decked in feathers fine. Strode the Indians in a line. There was a maid from old Japan, Walking with a Chinaman. Next a dusky gypsy queen With a deck of cards was seen. The country people gazed in awe At the first circus they ever saw; The crowd was large and very dense, And the excitement was immense; My husband! wailed Mrs. Newly- Wed, As through the tents she, seeking, sped; At last she found him in a trance. Watching the fat woman dance. Buffalo Bill went through the crowd, Yelling and shooting very loud. Take your picture for a cent! Was the cry where ' er we went; And everyone who ventured in Came out with the broadest grin! The lemonade was warm and pink, You never tasted such- — I think. In tents the fortune-tellers staid And all the handsome men waylaid. But as these last were very few The gypsies hadn ' t much to do. All the animals were very tame; The wildest trait was in the name. The negro minstrels danced and sang, To the ceiling their voices rang; Their jokes went off with laughter and glee, For they were all on the faculty.

In its character there stands forth a warmth ami sensiti ' eness seldom found in these modern centuries. No hardships uproot the romantic frcjm the Spaniard ' s nature, no condition dulls the chivalry that is his. In other days, there stood on the lower slopes of the Sierra Ne ada an ancient inn. When one stepped over its threshold, he felt that he stood within the precincts of the ninth century rather than of the seven- teenth. It was an atmosphere in which one dreamed rather than thought. Figures of the past rose up and rexealed a ci -ilization in which lo -e and war were dominant. Here Senora Rodriguez gathered in the fees of the few transient guests that stopped on their way up from Malaga or Cadiz, or wan- dered hither from Granada. But there was a daughter, Isabel. She possessed a Spanish beauty, a Spanish sentiment, and — be it added — a Spanish temper. In her nine- teen years there had been little of education; few had been the journeys. But the sight of the everlasting hills, the crests of the Sierra Nevada silvered in the evening light, the suggestions — silent and subtle — of the old inn, and the romantic nature of her race, had dexeloped in Isabel the tender and fine sentiments in which every good woman glories. But Isabel did not lack assistance in developing other traits less commendable, if not less feminine. For her mirror told her she was beautiful; often the flattery of the guests confirmed this; and last, she read the same story in the glowing eyes ol young Senor Domingo Gon- salez. But then the young seiior was poor, and po ertv meant hope deferred. And yet, does not longing sweeten sentiment? There were nights on the balcony when these talked of the future and its stern realities. Ah, if fortune would only turn their way! But what fortune was there in owning the post-horses and the diligence that went up and down the wretched road to the next town ? One day two things happened. Senor Domingo, in passing, saw the son of a rich vine grower sitting near Isabel, and saw her give him a rose. Indignation spoke in the lover ' s heart, and resolution answered. That e ening Domingo said, Isabel, there is an easy allegiance in some hearts. It is never labeled, ' Not Transferable. ' Boy, said she, don ' t you know that we women care most for the courage, the vigor, and the strength in men? The winner is the one that makes his way rather than accepts his fortune. I suppose you refer to your latest ' ictim ? At least, he is well-mannered; he is not spiteful. Don ' t you like him? I saw you give him a rose. So much, then, for your watching, she replied. Do you want the love of this man? Here the instinctive coquetry of her race arose. And if I do? she asked. Then I ' shall kill him ! His voice was very low, and the Spanish temper burned in his dark eyes. Oh, Domingo, you wouldn ' t dare! she cries in pretended alarm. I ' m going; I cannot bear — any more. He walks angrily out into the night. The twinkling of the stars, the white moonlight, and the whisperings of the trees all seem to mock him. Even the sun of Spain was not bright next day to Domingo — nor was the future clear to him as he drove to the next town. Was he to go on through life with his soul ' s longing for love unsatisfied? Would time be good to him? If so, then he yearned for old age when all longings and heart struggles would be so far past that even the scars would be healed. On the way he fell in with the gypsy settlement and had his palm read. Strange things they told him ! His luck would come in some- thing better than gold, but his triumph would be won in the face of opposition. Once more tlic moon shines upon the post road, and shimmers in sil er - light upon the old inn and the steeps of the Sierra Nevada. A quick ear on the halcony detects approaching steps, and soon eye meets eye and heart answers heart as Domingo stands fearlessly before the girl. Has your fortune changed? she whispered, seeing the new light of hope in his eyes. I do not know, said he; my fortune is a riddle. It is to be something better than gold — something won in the face of opposition. I came back to tell you that, whatever that fortune is, the whole world shall not keep me from winning it and you. Man, you may be poor, and you may be slow, but don ' t be dull. Where lo e is, fortune is; for lo e is better than gold. — J ' crci Sciiy. Y. W. C. A. CABINET .01. A.

There, it ' s done! It was hard to do, but now I am glad that only the good times of this school year shall be recorded to stare at me in the years to come. September 26. When I decided that, I must confess it was with a feeling that I should not be kept very busy chronicling the good times; but already they have begun in earnest. As it should be, the reception given to-night by the faculty to the new girls was the first social function of the year. Diary dear, if you only knew our faculty, there would be no necessity for explaining why we so thoroughly enjoyed it. October 4. Yesterday every one received a lovely daisy in -itation to a reception to be gi -en to the new girls to-night by the Young Women ' s Christian Association. It was with a sinking feeling around my heart that I went, tagged as for shipment. But so was every one else, and we soon found old friends. We played the nicest game, keeping the names of girls to whom we talked; and a Japanese picture was gix ' en as a prize to the one ha ' ing the longest list. October 25. We ' re just back from the Rockingham County Fair, and everything was so exciting, especially Mr. Hamilton ' s airship and the cavalry drills. Never before ha -e I known what a long line we make, stretched along the board walk and down South Main. October 31. The cold shivers still chase each other ud and down my spine as after-effects of the Chamber of Horrors at the Hallowe ' en Barn Party; and that in a measure accounts for the illegibility of this entry. Oh, the clamminess of the ghosts long fingers, and the unearthli- ness of the moans! — But I must not dwell on such things longer! The rest of it was such fun. It is the very first time the barn has been used for anything, and you would have thought it had been made especially for this affair, so well did the girls make use of even the stalls and the loft, and the orchard around it. December 4. This whole fall the singers of the school and town have been having mysterious meetings and rehearsals at the Presbyterian Church, and now we know why. Why aren ' t you really human, my diary? I would have taken you to hear the beautiful oratorio. The Holy City, to- night. December 7. Tired? I certainly am! The social committee of the Y . W. C. A. had its fall quarter birthday party to-night, and we played all our childhood games. If you had only seen us racing wildly around the Gym, you would not wonder that we are all so tired. But every- body had enough wholesome fun to compensate for that. December 13. Diar dear, we are so rich. Did you know it? To- night was the annual Christmas bazaar, and we made about fifty-six dollars. Lots of town people came, and we were such a jcjlly, bustling crowd, filling all the upstairs of the Science Hall! There were shadow- graphs in the Assembly Room, and later, a one-act play called Maidens JII Forlorn. In one of the classrooms there were fancy articles, made by the girls themseh ' es in their few spare moments; and in another room, lo -ely salads and desserts and things to tempt both palate and pocket- book. December 14. Miss Shoninger and the practice teachers entertained the grade teach- ers in the kindergarten room to-night. Diary, it was dreadful about the salad; if you only could ha ' e seen it — on the pa -cment ! But they really did have a splendid time at the party. December 21 ! And that means home for us in the early morning! The Seniors have just come back from singing Christmas carols to Dr. Wayland. Even now they are still singing in the rain under the dormi- tory windows, unconsciously infusing the spirit of Christmas more and more into our bones. But it almost spoils my pleasure to lea ' e you here, confidante o ' mine; but some one must be here to guard our room, and, more important still, to tell me the interesting happenings when I come back. So good-by, dear, until New Year ' s night! January 11. I feel all buried-like, because I have three big things to tell you and only a few minutes in which to do it. Of course, the lights will disappear at the most interesting point; they have a peculiar way of doing that about half-past ten at night. I must begin with yesterday; and won ' t you forgive me if I tell you something not really a good time? Miss Harrington is going to Egypt for four months, and Mr. Heatwole is going to Columbia. Of course the whole school is distressed at the bare thought of their not being here. Last night the Kindergartners gave a supper in the little dining-room in Miss Harrington ' s honor, and every- thing was beautiful. After that she went with them to hear the Schuberts. Almost all the girls in school went too. Fwas after bed-time when we got home, and that ' s why it was too late to tell you about it then. To-night the faculty appeared at the Science Hall in answer to a summons from the Senior Class to meet them in regard to Miss Har- rington and Mr. Heatwole. If you could only ha e seen the two French maids calming their fears, even after they learned that the worst in store for them was a little banquet in the Assembly Room! The tables formed the letter , and you see it had a triple significance. The menu would make you too hungry, dear, so I refrain from mentioning anything even remotely connected with it, except that the Junior Household Arts girls ser ed. The way the banquet ended was lovely. Everybody joined hands and marched around the singing a farewell song to Miss Har- rington and Mr. Heatwole. January 17. Miss Porter, one of the Y. W. C. A. secretaries of this South Atlantic Field, has been here for sexeral days; and this after- noon tbe social committee ga e a oink tea in her honor. Many of the girls came, and enjoyed meeting our guest, who is thoroughly attractive and lo ely. February 8. Oh, the Junior Circus! Fm still chuckling at the mem- ories of it; but, Diary my own, first I must tell you that again we cleared fifty-six dollars — and it ' s for the Schoolma ' am! P ' ifty-six must be our lucky number. The side- shows were so clever, espe- cially the pygmies; and it was all just like a real circus, with a parade and pink lemonade ( ' oardon the ryhme), peanuts, fortune-tellers, ice-cream cones, and e -erything com- plete. Even the country fam- ily was there. But the minstrel show was really best of all. The songs and jigs and jokes were so funny ! February 14. St. Valentine ' s Day! We ' ve just come from such a lovely party. The Lees entertained the Laniers in the Assembly Room. Every Lee had a Lanier partner, found by matching hearts on which were names of friends historically dear. After the very informal and appropriate program we danced; so you know we spent a lo ely e ening. February 15. Have you felt the bustle and hurry to-day, Diary o ' mine? So many things have been going on all at once in Science Hall. The Kindergarten Club, the Home Economics Club, and the practice teachers all had Valentine-y affairs; and, judging from the joy- ful noises, they had the very best of times. February 21. To-night the Laniers entertained the Lees with a George Washington dance. The courteous gentlemen and gracious ladies of olden days who were there certainly proved the ingenuity and re- sourcefulness of schoolgirls. The costumes were splendid, and the gal- lant men and ladies fair were beautiful in the lovely old dances. March 1. Early Saturday morning! Without waiting a bit longer I must tell you about the beautiful Spanish operetta the girls gave last night under the direction and training of Miss Hudson. You know they have been working hard for it ever since Christmas, and everything was so real and beautiful. The gypsy songs and dances made a wild and strange appeal, and we were so proud of our actresses and actors — for there were actors! March 10. This has been a dark and rainy day, but we have been far from gloomy. In chapel this morning Mr. Burruss in ited us to go to see the Cambridge Players to-night as his guests, the wherewithal to come from a mysterious little box in a dark corner of the safe. We went and thoroughly enjoyed it, even the walk in the rain. March 25. The Tuesday after Easter and the last of the holidays! Diary o ' mine, you know how T dreaded the time when so many of the girls would go home and leave me here, but now I have to confess that these holidays have actually been lovely. I ' m going to tell you only the big things we did, but the little ones are really what count. Yesterday morning Mr. Roller took Miss Scott and the Camp Fire Girls out to Massanetta Springs. We did have such a lovely time cooking our real camp dinner around a real camp fire. Not content with that, last night we had an Easter dance down in tlie gymnasium, and e ' en the dances at home could not ha e been more fun than this one was. April 19. This afternoon uhe Seniors had the most beautiful and unusual . rbor Day exercises you ' ve e er known. Instead of the cus- tomary tree, they, with the help of Dr. Wayland, their honorary mem- ber, little Walter Wayland, their mascot, and Mr. Roller, their right- hand man. planted, with all manner of good wishes said and sung, a sprig of ivy from famous Warwick Castle. The Juniors and Faculty had been invited to follow the Seniors after the exercises, and they were led to the beautiful orchard behind the Science Hall. Here, underneath the apple blossoms, many groups gath- ered, each around a basket stored with a lovely picnic supper. Perhaps I can get a clipping to tell you more of the whole affair. May 1. This afternoon on ' May Pole Hill the Seniors had a May Day festi al, with ' M-etty songs and dances, and unanimously they crown- ed their class president Queen of May- Ma) But Dr. .Mphonso Smith this e ening on tb.e English Ballad was the erv best of all. And, now, Diar mine, don ' t you think I ' x ' e faithtull - tried to tel you the very best of our good times? But the sad part is that I won ' t be able to tell you any more! At the rate work is piling up now for the next seven weeks, I ' ll never have time to do justice to the many happenings; so I ' ll just jot down a list of the ones I ' m sure will ma- terialize, and really tell you about them when I ' m at home once more to peace and quiet. To begin: The Juniors never fall behiml in hos- pitality, so I am sure they will at some time entertain the Seniors as befits their dignity. The Coburns are coming and will gi -e The Comedy of Errors, Henry I ' -, and I pliit eiiiii in Tniiris in our open-air theater. The Camp Fire Girls are going to give Miss Fearless Co., and they are thoroughly interested because part of the wonclerful sum they expect to make is for their camping trip this summer. Lately the Seniors have acquired the queer habit of con ' ersing in Scotch dialect, and now we know why. They have chosen as their class play The Gentle Shepherd, by Allan Ramsay; and Miss Hudson has already been seen closeted with each actress in turn. Other delights of commencement week are in store for us, but are as yet so hazy that I can ' t e ' en tell you what they are to be. So — Farewell, Diary o ' mine! Until the good old summer time ! — Carolxn Rutin. A Pastoral Play BY ALLAN RAMSAY Presented by the Seniors of The State Normal School 8:30 p. m.

Symon and (ilaud re- joice at rumor from exile. Bai.ildy begs Manse tor magic aid to win Peggy away from Patie. But Mause and Madge frighten Bauldy into repentance with a pretended ghost. Sir William, disguised, re ' eals in soliloquy that Patie is his son, entrusted years before to Symon, who has kept the secret and brought up the boy as a shepherd, ignorant of his gentle birth. Sir William now acknowledges Patie as his heir amid general rejoicing, but forbids his marriage to Peggy. Their sorrow is turned to joy by Mause ' s revelation that Peggy is also of noble birth, saved by Mause, her nurse, in infancy from murderous relatives and left a foundling at good old Glaud ' s door. Sir William gladly gives Patie and Peggy his blessing; and, at Patie ' s request, gains Glaud ' s consent to Roger ' s suit for Jenny ' s hand.

In going through the hall a few days ago I noticed particularly two things: One was a stack of folders on the radiator; the other was a placard on the bulletin board emblazoned, Seniors! Take One! This, it seemed to me, was premature, to say the least. That the general public should be solicited to take our Seniors before they graduated was a shock to me, and I was glad that there were no Seniors in sight. I have always felt that with cur Seniors it is not a matter of Who will take one? but Who can get one? and we are not going to let anybody ha ' e one till after to-morrow night; yet it seems necessary to- night to say a sort of half good-bye. So here ' s to you, and not a few, Schoolma ' ams now going out; We bid you all good luck and speed — you ' ll make good, I ' ve no doubt. There ' s just one thing that I can bring against you here to-day: It is that you ha e made us sad because you ' re going away. But e ' en this won ' t count amiss if you will just come back Next June, and e ery other June found in the almanac. So here ' s to you, and not a few, Schoolma ' ams now going out; Heres ' health to you and wealth to you, In a rousing, merry shout. IV. The Schoolma ' ams that will go out: The Graduates of the Future. We prophesy that they are thousands in number, and that they must be of excellent worth because of their ancestry and their inheritance. So here ' s to you, ye thousands true, Schoolma ' ams that will go out; We look to you, we hope in you, we trust and never doubt.. For whether you be here to-day or in the years to come. We deem you conscious of a trust to keep for heaven and home. And be the day or clear or gray, the future need not fear. For those who come and those who go will be like those now here. Then here ' s to you, ye thousands true, Schoohna ' anis that will go out; We look to you, we hope in you. We trust and ne er doubt. And now to all the Schoolma ' ams, those that ha e gone out, those now going out, and those who will go out, I offer this toast: IVlay your shadows never be less, except the shadows on your memories; may your numbers grow, and may your salaries increase; may you all live many years, but may you never look older or feel older than you do to-night; may your memories for Math, and for History continue to serve you well; but if you should forget every date in the calendar and every formula in the book, may you not forget the days spent here or the friends now present. This is the toast I offer you; and I gix ' e it not in water, nor yet in wine, but in the love of little children, in the bright eyes that shall sparkle as they gaze into yours, in the pure hearts that shall thrill at your word — in all that sweet innocence of childhood that shall offer itself to the influence of your lives. in inn IKuuiu ? Do you know the place where the alders grow, And water runs deep, so deep, Till It almost seems to iorget to flt)w, Where the long, light, shadows creep? Do you know the oriole ' s nest that swings In the willow tree tall, so tall. And the clematis vine that climbs and clings To the ruined old stone wall ? Do you know the bank where the violets grow. And the cowslips gay, so gay? Do you know where the sweet briar droops so low By the bars in the pasture way? Have you seen the lark fly up as he sings, In the morning cool, so cool? Can you guess the homes of a hundred things That live in this clear green pool? Have you seen the baby clouds at play On the mountains tall, so tall? If you haven ' t, just walk on a sunny day. And I ' m sure you will find them all. — Ruth Co II II. Cring tlir hirij nf a irl aitJi a Man an a (SnJ uiliu iiias nnt Ci iiii -KISYU-SAN was not beautiful, but he was as wise a little god as ever sat between two brass candlesticks in a little studio in Paris. His exact age we do not know: but it had been years before Jo was born that her great-uncle Merrill had brought him across the sea from China, and had placed him for luck 1 on the mantel above the deep fireplace in the little New Eng- ' land home. And here he had sat many years for all beholders to see and admire. What if his legs and arms were rather perplexing? Jo had never been able to decide whether he was in a sitting or squatting position. This was an idiosyncrasy which one speedily forgot when one saw his face, for therein lav his greatest charm. His ugly little physiog- nomy wore an expression unfathomable, while his smile in instrutil ibty rivaled that of the Mona Lisa! Besides his face, O-Kisyu-San — Jo had christened him that as the most oriental name she could think of — was blest with another most aluable asset: he was hollow, and cunningly concealed in his back was a slit, through which one might drop a nickel, or a dime, or even a dollar, if one were so opulent. So, unlike the proverbal milkmaid, O-Kisyu-San ' s face was not his only fortune: but he was the proud pos- sessor of a bank, which had this superiority o er other bank; — that while it was exceedingly easy to put one ' s money in, it was extremely difficult to get it out. So O-KisyuSan thro e and prospered, and smiled for many years, and then Jo took it into her curly head to go to Pans. Now Jo, although she was the youngest individual in the house, was a very important personage indeed. So when she returned from col- lege and began to spell . • with a capital . , and to dream of an illus- trious career to which there was but one road, and that throu ' jh Paris — the little gray-haired mother and father shook their heads sadly, but — they let her go. And so it was a tearful but confident Jo who waved good-bye to the little New England village and sailed awav with wonder- ful dreams of fame, and with a little bronze god for luck. And this is how O-Kisyu-San sat between two brass candlesticks on a mantel in a studio in Paris and smiled his inscrutable smile. Jo soon found that fame is an illusi e thing, and that light housekeep- ing in Paris does not necessarily mean a career. By and by the bril- liant prospects lost their brightness, and the rosy hopes seemed gray; and although the letters to the little mother were always cheerful, the heart in the Paris studio grew heavier and heavier, while many dis- couraged plaints were whispered into O-Kisyu-San ' s ear, and many home- sick tears fell upon his bronze head. But this was a sec ret, and O-Kisyu- San never told. It was on one particularly dismal evening, when the rain pattered dolefully on the roofs, that Jo ' s self-control came to an end. I can ' t paint, O-Kisyu-San, she sobbed, I can ' t paint — and I ' m homesick — and I just can ' t stand it another minute! Just then somebody knocked. Jo raised her head and hastily wiped her eyes as she opened the door. A broad-shouldered young man entered — an American, with such a smiling face that he fairly radiated cheerful- ness. Jo tried to smile, but his quick eye noticed that something was wrong. What ' s up? he asked concernedly. Oh, I ' m homesick, said Jo, I want to go home, that ' s all. Go home! echoed Bob; go home and leave your career? Then the storm broke. My career! I haven ' t any career — I was just a blind, conceited idiot! I ha en ' t any talent — I might as well face it and go home and paint place-cards. It ' s all I ' m good for. I can ' t paint — I never can paint — I don ' t want to paint! I just want to go home and have a really, truly, Christmas dinner! I ' m sick of Paris, and art, and light house- keeping, and Phew! said Bob, you arc positi ' e. But, after all, I ' m rather glad, Jo. Paris is no place for you. You are really going? Oh, certainly I am going. My fairy goclmother has just presented me with a million dollars! How on earth, Bob, do you suppose I could go? You know I would never write home for money. Can ' t you sell your picture? asked Bob. That dreadful picture ! sighed Jo. I have been working at it all the year, and it ' s the worst thing I have ever done. It was so bad that I thought somebody might buy it, but it is even too bad for that- I ha e been pretty lucky lately began Bob. But Jo froze him with a look, and he subsided. Oh, well, what ' s the use of worrying? said Jo. Everything will come out all right, I know. The prince in disguise will buy my picture, and I shall go home to my Christmas dinner as sure as my name is Jo Merrill! You and I will make some fudge and be happy — just as soon as I borrow some chocolate, and she ran out of the room. Bob, with his hands in his pockets, sur ' eyec1 the offending picture with a thoughtful eye : It is fierce, he said. But maybe I can manage it some way, even if I do ha e to pawn my watch. Kisyu, you are a friend of mine; you won ' t tell on me? He ad- dressed that personage, who seemed to greet him as an old acquaintance. Bob grinned, and, diving into his pocket, brought up several coins, which, after a cautious look at the door, he proceeded to drop into 0-Kisyu-San ' s back. When Jo returned, she found Bob examining some place-cards with an expression of guileless innocence, and O-Kisyu-San wore an air of dig- nified solemnity. But after Bob had gone that night, she went to that little god and shook her head: Those were very bra -e words, Kisyu, she said, but how are we going to do it? And O-Kisyu-San looked wise but said nothing. As the days passed, Jo found herself no nearer home, for no prince in disguise appeared to buy the despised picture; neither did the place- cards, at which she worked feverishly, do more than make ends meet, with just an occasional penny for O-Kisyu-San. She was beginning to get dis- couraged again, when the magic knock sounded at the door. Later, Bob coming in found a radiant Jo. Guess what has happened, she demanded. Not hard, said Bob; the prince came. No, the princess, corrected Jo. She saw my place-cards, and, over- come by the genius disolayed in their execution, she obtained my address, looked me up, saw my picture, and insisted on buying it for an awful sum, which pricked my conscience but thrilled me with delight. She left her address. And she held the card out — Do you know her? Oh, certainly, declared Bob. My acquaintance with princesses is very extensive. But he turned to 0-Kisyu-san to hide a smile. So you are ready to sail? It seems as if it must be almost enough, said Jo. Help me count up and see how much I ' ll need to have to pay my rent and every- thing, and to get home. They counted it up, and Jo found that the picture money did not go as far as she had thought; she must have fifteen dollars more. It isn ' t so much, sighed Jo, but it is a lot when you don ' t know how to get it. Five would be impossible to me. They gazed hopelessly at each other, Jo seeing all her lately risen hopes crumble away. Suddenly her gaze fell on O-Kisyu-San. Do you suppose — ? she gasped. Try and see, said Bob. And in a second Jo was sitting on the floor and with many shakes and thumps, and the aid of a hat pin, several hairpins, and a pair of mani- cure scissors, was extracting 0-Kisyu-San ' s treasured hoard. Soon a lit- tle pile of coins lay on the floor. Count them, count them. Bob! And Bob counted. Breathlessly they counted piece by piece; and as the sum grew larger and larger, their excitement grew intense. Twelve dollars, said Bob; twelve-fifty, -sixty, -sixty-five, -seventy- five, -eighty It ' s enough! It ' s enough! cried Jo, springing to her feet ecstatical- ly, while 0-Kisyu-San rolled off her lap, and stood on his august head upon the rug. It ' s enough, and I can go home — Oh, joy! Then she stooped and picked O-Kisyu-San up from his undignified position. You did it, you precious O-Kisyu-San ! she cried. You are a real luck-god and shall be honored as such. And she put him again on the mantel and lighted the two candles. He will be a lucky god when he gets home to the Christmas din- ner, said Bob. He ' s not going home, answered Jo. He ' s brought me my luck, and now — and now — Bob, I give him to you. To me! My li.ick haii alreadv begun to change for the better, said Bob; but now I am bound to succeed. I ' m coming slowly, but I ' ll get there some day, Jo, and then — maybe he will belong to both of us. But Jo opened the window and leaned out into the soft night. Oh, you beautiful world! she cried. See, Bob, the stars! — they are the same stars that are shining at home. I am the happiest girl in the world! And between the two flaming candles 0-Kisyu-San sat and smiled his inscrutable smile. — Irene Mcscrole. h Z O X 3h (iitt of titr lallrij (By special permission of tlie Author) Out of the Valley they send us men.

Yes, replied Miss lih abeth, as she made room in the hanmiock, and I have just arrived at a gratifying conclusion: I am fully convinced that, as yet, the classi- cism of HUTLER, POPE, and JOHNSON is not altogether obscured by the romanticism of burns and scoTT, notwithstanding the fact that 1 hear the Seniors are going to play RAiMSAv ' s Gcitllc Slwplu ' rd this spring. Just then a wisp of music was blown diagonally across the double box hedge, and past the cottage veranda. Is that a strain from one of wagner ' s operas? inquired Miss Sale, who had just paused on her way to the little dining room. No, said Miss Lida, it is a measure from pavne ' s Home Sweet Home. ' ' By this time several other members of the Olympic Council, in the easy course of their accustomed saunterings, had arri -ed and taken easy chairs on the Cottage veranda; and the talk, though somewhat TARDY, continued to follow literary lines. Said Miss Bell, i. reid the orations of everett with growing enthusiasm, and I am about ready to A. WARD him first place as A. reiter. For my part, warbled Miss Evalina, I ' d rather settle on FOX or BURKE. At this point the increasing group, following a suggestion of Miss Hudson, entered upon a friendly contest. Each one, in turn, was to quote a line or two from a favorite author; and the first one who should fail to respond promptly and correctly was to pay a forfeit by taking the entire party to Room 26, Science Hall, and making them a dish of Nor- mal fudge. Miss King at once began: A lucky CHANCE, that oft decides the fate Of mighty monarchs. Miss Shoninger is also an admirer of Thomson, but she likes scott even mookic; so she quoted, Mildly and soft the western breeze Just kiss ' d the lake, just stirr ' d tlie trees. Professor Cornelius also admires scott, and he startled the com- pany by shouting out fiercely, And darest thou then To BEARD the l.vox in his den, The DOL ' GLAS in his iiall ? Professor Johnston immediately responded, rather happily, Where ' s Caesar gone now, ... Or TuUy, with powers of eloquence ample? Following, perhaps, a cue in these lines. Miss Roger promptly quoted, The glory that was Greece And the grandeur that was romk. Mrs. Brooke was allowed to take a slight liberty with Chaucer when she said: Every noniuil MU.l.ER has a golden thumb. Miss Scott delighted at least one member of the group by quoting from Byron these lines: And history with all her volumes vast, Hath but one page. Others of the tall and leisurc-lo ing Olympians followed in order with quotations from COOPER, MITCIIKI.L, SPARKS, WILSON, CAMPBELL, and PHILLIPS. Miss Preston lo es homer ; so this is what she said: And MNE can of their wits the wise beguile, M.ike he • .ge frolij, and the serioL s smile. Miss Hoffman chimed in with, We may live without friends, we may live without books ; But civilized man cannot live without coOKS. For some moments it had been obser -ed that Mr. Burruss, whose turn came next, appeared somewhat ner ous; and when he was called upon he failed to present anything except a line from Clarke ' s Com- mentciry, and this was not accepted. He then asked leave to give a para- phrase of two lines in jONEs ' s ll ' hat Cuiistiliilcs a State, or a whole BLOCK from the last report of the National Education Association; but both these were voted out- The scribe hereof has a shrewd suspicion that some of the lady Olympians were getting hungry. At any rate the President was promptly declared liable to the forfeit, and he accordingly started toward Science Hall to make the fudge, the whole party fol- lowing eagerly. A friendly DORE admitted them, and a skilful HARPER celebrated their coming. The PRINCE and the kiser, with herald c.w, saluted them as they passed. Two handsome marshali.s conducted them up the shining way the carpenters had erected. In spite of the gibes and titterings of the female Olympians, and the kindly suggestions of the Household Arts Department, the President final- ly got the fudge made, and the others got it eaten. It was served upon the tables in the little dining room. ' arious interesting topics afforded a stimulus to mirth and wit, and to the heavy-hanging hours. The fa- vorite songs of the evening were Foster ' s. Before breaking up, the party by a unanimous vote, requested Miss Natalie to tell them why she had permitted herself to use the unheard-of figure of 99 plus, in a certain instance, in connection with the Easter examinations. Her only reply came with characteristic promptness and decision, and with skilful adaptation: Not that I loved Math, less, But that 1 loved ROANE more. Waiting; for Mrs. Harrington tu cuiia- hack.

Soon behind he hears the witches, And he glances back in fear; Stiff with horror, he beholds them Flying near, so very near That he feels them touch his saddle As the horse-hoofs strike the stream! All is up! Poor Tam O ' Shanter Vanishes, swift as a dream. As we listened to the story, Wider still our round eyes grew. And we knew that in our visions We should see him all night through. But by childish fancy driven. We must see it all once more, Even while each clutched the other, With one eye Hxed on the door. Father laughed to quell our terror As he showed the thistle wreath, And before our eyes of wonder, Read the name and date beneath — Pointed out the clever handle, Where the witch-hanci grasped the mane; But he shook his head, still smiling. When we begged for it again. ■ — Ruth Coini. LYONS ' DEN A Normal Say xn a Normal SnrmttDru A. M. 5 :30 — Tom scrubs the porch! Oh-o ! 5:45 — Miss Lyons begins mopping!

As the long line of half-a-hundred Seniors tiled up the broad walk to Science Hall, in the lead were Miss Elizabeth Kelly, president, and Dr. J. W . W ' ayland, honorary member; while between these sturdily trudged the little mascot, John Walter Wayland, Jr. On the southwest side of the entrance archway they plant- ed a sprig of i v which came from Warwick Castle, the feu- dal stronghold and stately pal- ace of the old King-Maker of England. Miss Kelley told how the class had felt that this year, ith the professor of history as lionorary member, no tree was quite good enough or historical enough to ser e for this plant- ing, except, maybe, the Charter Oak itself. That not being a ' ailable, they were using in his honor this ivy, whose roots had been nourished in a spot indeed rich with the spoils of time. Dr. Way land was then called on for a speech. He be- gan by quoting Oh, a dainty plant is the ivy green! and ended with a stanza of his o -n, which, in the estimation of his audience, far outdid the English poet. In the course of his remarks Dr. Wayland spoke of the statelv archi- tecture and the unsurpassed grounds of Warwick Castle; but he dwelt chiefly on the stirring deeds done there. In fact, so much history was .planted with this particular piece of ivy that if the Bible did not have a law against grapes from thorns, and so forth, one might expect to see this vine some day bearing rich fruitage of dates. There was a touch of sadness too — more than a touch — when the speaker hinted that a day might come when this very ivy should cover with tenderness and beauty the ruins of the new, strong, solid building so dear to all hearts present. May that day be far distant indeed! The girls entrusted the future of their ivy to the faithful care of their staunch friend and right-hand man, Mr. Roller; tlien they made a , ' j ' i.C. ■ tei H ttf v ' jhHBK 9hbL v v ' . iflS SP ' M _j gMMLmLWt li sSSI ■i H . ? 6 5f« .- H - sp If - - ' p- ■■ -  -.-. ...

Into that little bed they gath- ered all manner of history, tradition, and poetry, from the muckle por- ridge pot of the mythical giant, Guy, to the ' ery thrushes singing that April day in the cedars of Lebanon on the Warwick grounds — from Amy Robsart ' s pitiful fate to the ducking stool, now kept in the church crypt, but once in frequent use for punishing monsters of antiquity known as scolding women — a species now extinct- It did seem as if, instead of the tiny green shoots that a few days later cleft their way through the soil, there must come up the blade of Guy ' s mighty sword, Cromwell ' s helmet, and the Grecian ase. Miss Keezell, president of the Junior class, recei ed on their behalf the spade bequeathed by the Seniors after the planting ceremony. Then the Juniors and the Faculty followed their hostesses to the orchard, where an abundant picnic feast was spread beneath the apple blossoms. (Ulir Mm mh thp lioliu HE SUN shone brightly into the west window of a room — a Httle room, witii dingy gray walls, its only touch of beauty being the sunlight that lay in splotches of molten gold upon the floor. By the wimlow, ' watching the sun go down and the opal tints come out in the west, stood an old man — a man grown old even in his youth, upon whom the finger of Time had not lightly pressed — who had not lived and loved just as other men do. Out upon the hilltops the sun still lingered, golden, but in the val- leys the purple shadows had lengthened and spread out. Turning from the window, half wearily, the man lifted his violin, leaned his cheek upon it, and drew the bow across the strings. Then it seemed as if the man and the violin were wea -ing pictures together — music pictures — softly, exquisitely, sweet. It grew dark. I lie stars came out. The air was hea ' y with t :: breath of roses and cool with dew. The night wind half stirred in the trees. Somewhere, far away, was the faint tinkle of water falling upon marble. It was midnight in a r ose garden, silent, beautiful, and calm. The music came now plaintively, with a hint of tears. A great shadowing sorrow lay over all things. The wind sobbed and moaned like a lost child. Hurrying clouds sped over the moon. Gray, silent, ghosts glided unresting among the tombs. Far off the sea broke moan- ing on the rocks. The man now played softly — oh, so softly! weaving his very soul into the music. The violin spoke as it had ne er spoken before; it told of love, of dreams, of tears, znd unfulfilled desires. Somewhere out in the mists drifted a woman ' s face — beautiful and infinitely kind — a woman ' s arms stretched out, and a woman ' s voice called softly down the years. The music ended in a plaintive, throbbing, wail. The player lifted his face; his lips moved, whispered a name, and were still; and the man, still clasping the violin, slipped limply down among the shadows. -T ' lrgin ' ui Paxloii. ®It0 Nitrs rg JACQUELINE JOHNSTON The Faculty Baby THE SENIOR MASCOT a EDITH CALVIN JOHNSTON The Alumnae Baby Alma Harper ' s Daughter and Alma Mater ' s Granddauehler A i ' mtitrutr [Presented to the Senior Class by llieir honorary memher, the Professor of His- tor -, after thev as waits sanfj Christmas carols beneath his wiiulow.] Once upon a midnight dreary, while I slumbered, somewhat weary. Over many a new and curious statement of forgotten lore, — Miile I nodded, wits far-winging, suddenly there came a ringing Sound of voices, sweetly singing, just outside my cottage door. ' Tis the old familiar chorus I so oft ha e heard before: ' Did 1 pass? and nothing more. Ah ! distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December, And each paper, writ on Ember, was s ' jread out upon the Hoor. Half I wished, half feared, the morrow; ainly had I sought to borrow Something somewhere, out of sorrow — sorrow for the dear L.enore — For the sweet but erring maiden who had made but 64 — - Nameless here for evermore. Presently my w ts grew stronger; hesitating then no longer, Down I went to hear the chorus I so oft had heard before; But the fact was they were Seniors, safely passed and reverend Seniors, Who with gracious, glad demeanures sang outside my cottage door, And had laid a sheaf of holly just before my cottage door — A holly sheaf and somethmg more. Deep into the shadows peering, long I stood there nothing fearing, All the while such sweet strains hearing I had heard in dreams of yore; For the silence thus was broken, and the midnight ga e me token, Through each word there sung or spoken, of a kindness known before — Of a thoughtful, generous kindness I had often known before: And my heart cried out Encore! Back within my cottage turning, all my soul within me burning, Soon again my eager yearning sought to augment 64. Surely, said I, surely there is something good for her who tarries, — Just to live with those whose care is thoughtful kindness evermore; Let my heart be still a moment, and this mystery explore ; — And a voice said, Evermore! Then, methought, the air grew tenser, perfumed from an unseen censer, Swung by those whose fairy footfalls tinkled on the papered floor; And again I heard the ringing sound of voices sweetly singing — Voices soft and tones e ' er clinging — echoes of the last encore! Voices soft and sweet a.id clinging, chanting out tie last encore, That shall echo evermore.

A i itr -iEunurilt ICdtrr [Aliitiito no iiiiic] Land ' s End, Virginia, Various Times. My Dear Miss Bell, Miss Hopkins has misbehaved herself so much this afternoon that I have just beaten her into insensibibty. And now I haven ' t any way to amuse myself; so I may as well be wasting time writing to you as counting the spots in the carpet. We have just had such a stirring experience that I must tell you about it. Saturday afternoon was the time set for the district teachers ' meeting. It was to be held at our schoolhouse; so, of course, Miss Hop- kins and I worked like Trojans the day before to have ex ' erything in readiness to put our best foot foremost. We even went so far as to dust the top of the stove-pipe, and to scour the porch. We left the schoolhouse about dark, with the consciousness that everything was, for once, in apple-pie order. The next morning we awoke to find rain. However, it cleared off about ten o ' clock, and we were to go over after early dinner. But dinner itself proved a delusion and a snare; for about eleven o ' clock our landlady had a ' phone message calling her away at once. She left her young niece in charge. While Miss Hopkins was dressing, I went down to see if I might help May a little toward that early dinner. I found her in trouble. Her aunt had left ingredients ready mixed for custard pies, which May was to bake. She hacf rolled out the pastry, but for some reason or other it refused to stay down in the pio-pan in the proper manner. So I said, Stick it. And stick it she did — not once but half a dozen times. Then we put in the filling and set it in the sto e, and I began to beat the meringue for the top. Just as I was about through, the little girl came in and said that Mother always put sugar in it. So I sugared it on the principle that if a little is good, more is bet- ter, until 1 found that I had a tine crop of white Icing. So we iced the pie and set it back again to brown. In a few minutes it was ready to talce out of the oven, but that was as far as we got. The custard had leaked through the holes in the crust, and had gripped the bottom of the pan in an embrace which we were unable to break. Do what we would, the pie would just double up and hold the tighter. I suppose the stubborn old thing would have been sticking there yet if Miss Hopkins hadn ' t appeared upon the scene and extracted it by means of main force and the butcher knife. We let her finish the other pies while we went to work on something we knew more about. But before tlic dinner was done it was time for us to start to the schoolhouse; so with a biscuit in one hand and our reco ered dignity in the other, we lit out. It wasn ' t long before the pations began to roll in, but no teachers were among them. Two o ' clock was the hour set. It came and passed, but still no teachers. At last we spied one in the gray distance, and bv-and-bv we had a motley collection of six, including ourselves. The chairman was not there, and no one of us was on the program. But we couldn ' t afford to waste anv more time, for we already had about forty squirming pa- trons on our hands. So we got together, pushed one into the president ' s chair, concocted a new program, gi ing each one of us a part on it, and we started off. Things went with such a snap that it was almost an explosion. Each one of us took a subject with which she was most familiar in education classes at school, looked at it through a microscope, added a few features and a name, and then shot it forth in the face of the audience as though it were her own original creation, which was just put on the market for the first time, and to which she held the patent- My children volunteered to sing Di.xic, and one even recited. But our question-box capped the climax. No matter what was the question asked, every one was just ready and anxious to speak her opinion on the subject, whether she had ever met it before or not. Then, after it was over, we hugged each other in the back room, as the last smiling patron disappeared through the front door. Miss Hopkins and I came home and wrote up a long account of it for the paper, so that the other teachers would know that we hadn ' t missed them. Our chairman is the only man in the district, and he is too young to know that the sun isn ' t his reflection ; so we wantctl to show him a few things. Before next meeting we are each going to pre- pare several subjects, so that we ' ll be ready for any emergency that comes along. I think I shall speak on the subject of examination papers. We have just finished grading some, and I have really gained a wonderful stock of information. The State Legislature meets in Zion schoolhouse. It meets once a year, and stays in session four years. — The Mississippi river bounds America on the east and the Ohio on the west. — - The names of the continents are: Europe, Asia, London, and Ohio. — Benjamin Franklin discovered lightning, and Thomas Jefferson foundered the Uni- versity of Virginia. — The parts of speech are nouns, verbs, proverbs, and semicolons. These were only a few of the answers, but as they came chiefly from one boy ' s papers, I do not feel so badly as 1 might if I had not dealt with him all winter. I have some young cherubs that are only about sixten years old, and they are almost sixteen feet high. 1 never saw a .place where people spend so much time in growing as they do here; and they surely ha ' e something to show for their work. I have some that are older than I am- At first I couldn ' t get used to having such giants obey me; it was always a surprise. I was so delighted that I just liked to boss them around for a while to see them run. But I soon got over that, and now I don ' t pay any attention to them. Miss Hopkins and I have plenty of fun outside of school. When- ever we get lonesome we take turns in singing our way through the dic- tionary or a cook book; and I tell you it certainly does give one an ap- petite to sing an angel cake recipe to the tune of Yankee Doodle. Our greatest trouble is insomnia. Often at midnight one or the other bursts out with the brief but eloquent line from Browning, Rats! The rat gymnasium is right over our room, and we get the full benefit of all their performances. They are practicing for Field Day now, and are almost running themsehes to death. They are splendid on a relay race, or a running jump, or a game of leap frog. They often have base- ball games, and I wish you could hear them cheer when one makes a home run. But, as Miss Hudson used to tell us, they pitch their voices too high to make their yells effective. I tried to show them how one night, but 1 upset the game, and they scampered otl in the thirty-seven different directions. I am just beginning to like my work as I suppose I should, by all means, ha e liked it from the first. But I have had so much trouble with the shade of Miss Pinkie Perfection. No matter what I undertook, nor how I undertook it, this ghost of my predecessor was sure to start up as ha ing done the same thing In a far better way- You see, the reality taught here two years ago, and distance lends enchantment, until she was about to be canonized when I got here. I shall never rest satisfied until I fight it out hand to hand with her. At first I used to tremble at the mention of her name, but I soon got o er that. Now, when the children say, Miss Pinkie did this way! I always remark that of course that was a nice way, but we will see if we can ' t find a better one. The poor things usually walk right into the trap, never suspecting that the other may ha ' e been the better all along. But I am determined not to give in to her, until she begins to fade away in the distance — if she ever does. She has arisen in the form of a box-supper now; so I am determined we shall have a bigger one, or die in the attempt. It may be late in the summer before we get out, as there is so much brass around school that we may stay a while and work it up. Some of the children are triple-plated, guaranteed ninety-five per cent pure brass, the other five per cent of dirt being also warranted. I ought to have taken that manual arts course in beaten brass at the Normal. But I thought the wood work class would be more useful to me as I might encounter a blockhead some day. By the way, that course m wood work at school is on the wrong track entirely. My experience makes me fully prepared to re -ise it and begin with a good substantial course in felling trees, with an axe as sharp as a butter-knife, and working them up to burn in a six-inch stove. Miss Hopkins is waking up noxv ' , and I want to tie her shoes to the bed-post before she becomes fully conscious. So I ' ll finish this later. The middle of next week. — We have now moved to a much more comfortable boarding house. We iniss the rats a great deal, though, ami for the first two nights we could not sleep; but now we ha -e hit upon a splendid plan. We take turn about in pounding and scraping on the wall at night so the other one can go to sleep. You ' ll have to excuse me again while I throw my slipper at some vagrant dogs in fierce contention just beneath our window. I fear they are making life a hollow mockery for some homeless cat. This is the doggiest place I ever saw. Everybody possesses at least two, and one of them Is sure to be a hound. There is a dog that always goes with us to school, but he isn ' t any bra -er than we are. I think he is trying to be as courteous as a dog can be; but he doesn ' t like cows either. One day he came into school during opening exercises, and when I said, Let us arise and repeat the Lord ' s prayer, he got up from where he was lying, and came and stood between Miss Hopkins and me, and hung his head. Miss H. just laughed aloud, and I had all 1 could do to keep my dignity. That was when my stock of dignity was fresh, but it has given out now. I think I must have spread it on too thick at first. We have been thinking of ordering us a supply from J. Lynn Co. ; but I don ' t believe it would do any good, for the dignity you get nowa- days doesn ' t last. I don ' t believe it is the pure stuff. We want to get us an elevator, too, to get down the hill in front of the schoolhouse, for it is not safe for the children to tumble down in winter. The chestnut trees have pushed the schoolhouse down to the foot of the hill, and it is hanging there yet, because the road says it shall not come farther. I felt rather sorry for the poor schoolhouse; it had a hard time last year, and it still droops at the mouth. When we first came, the in- side was worse than the outside, for the stove had tried to get out of the room, but had only succeeded in jamming itself up against the wall, as far away from the pupils as possible. The pipe had cur ' ature of the spine, and one elbow was dislocated. The windows were scattered here and there in a careless, oft-hand manner, two or three on the sides and one above the front black-board. 1 tliink the last was put in because there were a few panes of glass left over, and the contractor ' s sense of economy forbade his wasting them. Some curtains, originally white, but now a dull sepia from ages of dirt, moped and sulked at the windows. So we took them down and gave both curtains and windows ' a bath. We had some new planks put in the porch, got us coolers and cups, and against Miss Scott ' s advice, consulted the firm of Hopkins and Me ami had our stoves moved a little nearer our pupils. We are getting a library, and are only waiting for better weather, to ha e our yard enclosed. We also bought some pictures, as the, only one there was George Washington, and he was tacked up by three corners so that e ery time the wind blew, his head bobbed up and down. We start to school before sun-up and get back after dark. We are thinking of getting us a policeman ' s lantern, a hat pin, and a wooden sword, and then we shall be able to face anything except a mirror. Since we dress in the dark e ery morning, we can ' t see the mud on our shoes. In that way our shoe-polish bill does not amount to much, but occasionally we use a little ink after we get to school. While I was slippering those dogs a while ago, I just concluded I would sprinkle Miss Hopkins with a little cold water, as she was talking in her sleep. You know some people will talk, asleep and awake too. Of course I meant it all for her good, but she misinterpreted my actions; so now I have lost some of my cheerful spirits. I suppose I may lose some more later, for I ha e grammar pa ' jers to grade, which will probably be like other wild ]{nglish I have known. — Good-bye. Yours to command. Me. PRESIDENTIAL YEAR iFinir-Hi af (EUmrrB When playing in the meadow-lot, Among the clovers green, We call each good-luck leaf we find, A four-leaf clo ' er queen. Sometimes the queen stands quite alone, Among her subjects all; Sometimes we find a family With princesses so small. We never like to pluck them, though, For what would clovers do. If they should need a queen some day, ■Before another grew? I ' m sure it is a cruel thing, That forces unforeseen. Should just dash down on Clo ' erland And take away the queen. In grief she soon must fade away; The subjects die with fright; The good luck flies before it comes. By terror put to flight. We think it is far better then, Than plucking her away, To only count her petals four And let the princess stay. — Riilh (Ji)ini- THE LEE SOCIETY HAS READ LEATHER STOCKING June 9, 1912 Miss Gladys Berlin to Mr. J.

The original plan is complete, and the Warwick and Kenilworth ivy covers the front of Science Hall. The coffer is now running over with silver and gold with which to buy at least twelve copies of each special reference book. The girls can now be really ci ilized human beings and no longer engage in open combat in the library over one reference book which has to be read by ninety girls in llircc days — a custom which in 1913 resulted, of course, in the survival of the fittest. Moreover, there are plenty of chairs in the new library for each girl to iiavc a whole one; and the tables are in these days so far apart — inirdh ' ilr die In! that you do not ha ' t a sudden shower of ink from your ever- willing fountain-pen every time some one comes m contact with your elbow, and even an Edna Myers or a Lucy Cobb might attempt the pass. The girls now do not have to resort with their parellel reading to the hall, where they once were wont to encounter the black looks of the librarian because they forgot to specify their destination on those pink reference cards. The library chairs, however, are of the same upright rnake as those of 1913, which Miss Elizabeth Cleveland advocated strongly for the sake of those learned Seniors who slill cannot digest Browning on flowery beds of ease. In the year 1950, during a long, exciting faculty meeting in which Mr. Burruss, Miss Scott, Miss Lancaster, Miss Sale, Miss Elizabeth Cleve- lantl, and Miss King put their honored gray heads together in strong al- liance against the other members of the faculty — among whom Dr. Way- land was the chief Tribune of the Plebs — it was finally voted by secret ballot that too much reference reading had been required of the students. And since that, the most memorable date in the history of the school, roses have bloomed profusely in the cheeks of the Normal girls as the result of exercise, sunshine, and fresh air. School now opens at nine o ' clock and closes nt half-past three, and no class meets for a whole hour after dinner. Alarm clocks have become very unpopular at the Normal, because they are no longer needed to dis- turb our peaceful slumbers in the wee, small hours of morning — exce ' Jt when some one wants to play tennis or hockey before breakfast. The old board walk has long ago been supplanted by asphalt pavement in conventional designs between the grassy lawns and flower beds. Be- cause of an electric line running to Mabel Memorial, Miss Scott and the practice teachers can reserve for something else the sympathy once ex- pended on the livery horses. There is also an electric line to Waterman, which saves many a weary step for the Kindergarten girls who go out to play with their young hopefuls. Not that the Normal follows the line of least resistance by any means! There is plenty of work; but because there is play too, e •erybody is happy and can find time to do what she has to do without giving cause to dye her premature gi ' ay hair. Perhaps this ability is a legacy be- queathed to the students by Dr. Wayiand! There is time to catch a breath once in a while, and part of this time is spent in the Y. W. C. A. bunga- low, where toasted marshmallows, hot chocolate, chafing dishes, and shade, beauty, and, above all, inspiration, to those who learn to love them. ' el -ety chairs do their part in clearing the cobwebs from the brain. Be- sides, the spreading trees of the many previous Senior classes offer their shade, beauty, and, abo e all, inspiration to those who learn to lo e them. Can there be anything else to make a sweeter existence! I might add that final examinations and calomel have gone out of fashion at the Normal, and appendicitis is no longer contagious. Thanks to the imagination that enables us to hope for what is in store for Alma Mater, but also to the memory which will always make 1913 even sweeter to us than 2000 A. D. ! — Marv B. Settle. OlutpUtr IGUtlr lEiitturs Twelve little girls in a staff-room, And they were, oh, so blue ! For they had one short quarter And one million things to do. Eleven little girls in a staff-room. Every one so — a blue! For Mary had taken measles, And they had her work to do. Ten little girls in a staff-room, And they were so, so blue ! For Edith had a breakdown, And left them her work to do. Eight little girls in a staff-room. With one million things to do. Martha and Fim were drawing, For they feared they ' d not get through. They moaned and groaned and worried, For they didn ' t know what to do ! The Senior Prophet had pinkeye. And the prophecy wasn ' t through! Two little girls with headaches, Woiking the long night through, F ' or all must go in the morning. And there ' re a million things to do!
