Madge Bryan Shading SEPTEMBER 21, 1916 ji N THE beginning was the Christ, and the Christ was with God, and the Christ was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made. In Him was life; and the life was the light of men. He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, but the world knew Him not. He came to His own but His own received Him not. But as many as did receive Him, to them gave He power — power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name. And the Christ was made flesh, and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth. And of His fulness we all haw received, and grace for grace. For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared Him. ilnutrr ALMIGHTY (li)|), our gracious Father, wc thank Thee for Thy blessings; we praj Thee for Thy lov- ing mercy. We thank Thee that thou hast met us here in other days; we pra Thee to meet us now; and every day, when we come here to pray or to work, m:t wc know that Thou art with us. Keep our bodies strong, O Lord, and make our hands skillful; till our hearts with sympathy among ourselves and with gratitude to Thee; make us good citizens rtl our beloved country, and accepted servants of Thine. Give us patience as we seek the truth, and give us honest hearts when the truth is revealed to us. Make us all learners; make us all teachers. Help us, as we behold the Christ, to learn His m.itch- li-N lessons. Help us to know that, in spite of hitter fail- ure, the teacher ' s work may be a glorious success. Help us to see that the true teacher lifts his pupils toward God. Help us to learn that faith is necessary to power and progress. Help us to respect law as necessary to freedom. Help us to see that the pedagogy we are striving after is only God ' s eternal method. Help us to remember that Christ ' s life was a light, and that the life of every teai hei who follows Him must be a light. In Him was life; and the life was the light of men. I . our gracious Father, make this true of us, we pra in His name. Amen. GYPSY SMITH, JR. He (ailed to the Colors: ive hear kirn still.

How main times have we wished for lovely chestnut hair like hers! Nothing seems to disturb her peaceful- ss of mind — not even the breakfast bell ringing before she is expecting it. She is a firm believer in sleep and plenty of it. Roberta studies, it is true; but she is a! ways readv for a good time — and the movies. fce EL v-— • FRANCES BAGLEY Stratford Literary Society; Piedmont-Midland Virginia Club; Editor-in-Chief Schoolma ' AM; Alumna? Committee Y. W. C. A. Representative in Better Speech Council. Who is this quiet and demure-looking little girl who smiles and drops a merry little note to you as she passes? It is none other than Frank. Although she has had many ups and downs since coming to H. N. S.. she remains on the honor roll, and her disposition is even sweeter than when she came. ANNIE BALIARD Secretarv Stratford Literarv Society; Albemarle Pip- pin Club; Critic Stratford Literarv Societv; c;lee CI lib. Annie ' s besetting sins are plainly shown by the fre- quency of such remarks as, Did you get a box of eats? Hurry up, Ruth, we ought io be down at the Training School now. But despite these faults, to the practice teachers she represents something beyond the ken of or- dinary mortals — .7 on practict teaching. ALARY CLIFFORD BENNETT Student Editor to the [formal Bulletin; Vice-President Home Economics Club; President Carolina Club; l ' in- quet Tennis Club; Mary Club. Mary Clifford — better known as Cliff, except in the Institutional Department — comes from the Land of the Long-Leaf Pine, or No ' th Caro-li-na. She is true to her colors, and we all love her characteristic Southern speech. Her work on the Bulletin has been excellent, and we predict that her career as a Red Cross nurse will be equally so.

T. without :ver losing her temper. ' lien it was once proposed at the training school to give her class t i another, one of her distressed pupils said. That ' - all right. Miss Bowman.

Hut she is all right, for all of that, and we love her just the same. She iften speaks of the little Mar and Johnnies whom she will teach next vear. --4g MIRIAM BUCKLEY Secretary Stratford Literary Society: Pinquet Tennis Club; Hockey Team. Well, this is Miriam — patient, earnest, and indus- trious. Perhaps these qualities would lead us to believe that her mind is centered on her studies alone; but as any of us can testify, she is a jolly good fellow. She is always ready for any kind of fun, and has even been known to go to the movies three nights during exams. EMMA ELIZABETH BVRI) Treasurer Senior Class; Treasurer Kindergarten Club; Secretary and Treasurer High School Club; Treasurer Junior Class, ' 15-16; Stratford Literary So- ■itt ; Racket Tennis Club. Emma is one of our town girls who can always be depended on to lend their aid in making every under- taking a success. She is beloved of every child in the kindergarten, including John Conrad, who makes it a point to choose Mith Byrd as his partner in every game that is played. KATE EDWENA CLARY Home Economics Club; Tidewater Club; Lee Literarv Societj ; lilee Club, ' 16- ' 17; Executive Hoard, ' 16- ' 17. Kate came to us from the good old historic city nt Richmond. We all know her by the way she savs for- ward. She has made that her slogan, and has gone forward at II. N. S. in her classes, in the Lee Literarv Society, in her friendships, and also in leaching her woodwork classes. il.A 1 I.

Hazel l . during het (our years here, has divided her time among athletics, fun, study, talking, and doing .1 hundred and one little things just so. Spe ial I nglisli now conquered, with P. T. and Dietetics (including calories ), we present her as we have learned to In.. her best: a dignified schoolma ' am, a good -i ' . and a loving comrade— in short, a true blue girl. NELLIE LOOMIS DAVIES Glee Club; Piedmont-Midland Virginia Club; Min- ister? ' Daughters ' Club. Nellie is a deep thinker, which is shown by the wav she grasps the ideas and principles of History of Edu- cation, which cause Seniors so many hours of doubt anil tear, for the last nine months she has been imparting knowledge to the youth on South Main Street, in which she has been very successful. Hobbies? (ilee Club and Art Appreciation, of course. EMILY GAY ELEY Home Economics Club: Tidewater Club: Chairman Social Committee; Lee Literary Society. There goes Skeeter ! What is she heading for? The room at the head of the stairs in First, for she has many friends in high places. Little Emily has enter- tained us manv times with her readings. Most often, though, we sec her finding a seat in the dining-room for some poor, homeless, unfortunate left-out. VIRGINIA PEGRAM EPPES Secretary Tidewater Club; Stratford Literary Society, Glee Club; Massanutten Camp Fire. Whenever you see Ginnie ' s little feet flying up the boardwalk, vou may kno.v that something exciting wi be happening before long. These numerous errands aren ' t selfish, however, for she is always doing things for the people — shampooing sunshine abroad. She is a wholesome, all-round girl, who frankly admits her pref- erence for adolescent love rather •. han crushes.  « | b RUTH EVERETT MAY FITZPATRICK Lee Literary Societv; The Piedmont-Midland Virginia Club. Ruth is a Southerner, but one would never know it, for her chief topic of conversation is The North. ' Pn vou want to know the latest news? Ask Rufus ; she has a monopolj on the newspapers and Life. We hope her ambitions may be realized — that she may be among the ideal Northerners, and a nurse at Johns Hopkins. Lanier Literary Society; Piedmont-Midland Virginia Club; Glee Club, ' 15- ' 16. May, earnest, deliberate, dignified, abides by this motto: Procrastination is the thief of time. ' ' One rarely sees her when she isn ' t studving, or on the Way to the training school with lesson plans and books under her arm. May seldom shows anv excitement unless she sees .( moose; then she give us a sample of fancy dancing. -c m m ;l vssi i i I tome 1 conomics Club. No pen can place Mary, as her individuality ui is her a unique position. She ia .1 true Emersonian in love and friendship and in the knowledge t the occull iciences. A further analogy maj be drawn bj saying thai she lilci Emerson, is certain!} no) a jiner, Inn an) organization -In- would join mighl count itself fortunate. AMMIE ELIZABETH GLENN Vice-President Stratford Literarv Socictv; Chairman Program Committee. Will you sine in the Y. V. C. A. ■•hoir So-night? Amrnie is heard asking this nearly any Thursday after- noon; and whether you can sing or not, you are bound to respond to her soft voice, and trv. However, her en- tire time is not consumed by this, for she has to answer those dailies. She is a staunch Baptist. We wonder why? MARY GOUND Lee Literarv Society; Home Economics Club; Presi- dent Rockbridge Club. Mary, better known as Nighty, is always ready to help others — whether selling cream for Y. . C. A., finishing a hat or dress for exhibit, or fixing for a feast. Although she has never experienced the pleasure ( ?) of P. T„ her alarm clock has often awakened us at 5:3 a. m. One cannot tell whether this meant Miss Corbett s office or D. III. -=£§ • fc EMILY MARGARET HALDEMAN Secretary Lee Literary Society, ' 16; Critic Lee Literary Society, ' 16; Treasurer Lee Literary Society, ; 17. Home Economics Club; Pinquet Tennis Club; Chairman Alum- nae Committee. We know why Meg doesn ' t eat any breakfast some- times. She isn ' t worrying over lessons, although P. T. and dietetics often cause the blues. But v. e think it is either Dayton, Winchester, or My Cousin. ' Perhaps her dreamy attitude outside of class can be accounted for by the fact that she is planning how to apply her H. A. knowledge next year, for I am not going to teach. ' ZOLA Y. HUBBARD President Glee Club, ' 16-17 ; Racket Tennis Club, ' 15- ' 16; Shenandoah Camp Fire Girls, ' 15- ' 16; Hockey Team, ' 15- ' 16; Vice-President Stratfords, ' 16; Vice-President V. W. C. A., ' 16- ' 17; Chairman Membership Committee Y. W. C. A., ' 16- ' 17; President Piedmont-Midland Virginia Club, ' 16- ' 17. Can anyone ever forget Zola ' s smiling face or iier cheerful words, which come forth on all occasions? She lias been the oasis for every new girl for two (rears. Zola is a splendid person to listen to our troubles, but when one asks about her blues, she nines the question aside with a song and, Aw, that ain ' t nothin ' . KATHLEEN HUFFMAN Stratford Literary Societ] ; Y. W. C. A. Her disposition is as s. eet as her voice. Crossness vanishes when she smiles. She looks on life rather se- riously, but not to such a degree that the pleasure is ab- sent from it. Her greatest puzzles come in .his form: Hid I pass on my math? Hut these troubles soon pass away, and the usual sunn) Kathleen returns. N DAIS Literan I l. Soi iel) III |( HNS ) Piedmont-Midland iruinia from the Persimmon ( ountj has smile for e eryone.

ELIZABETH LEFTWICH KABLER Home Economics Club; Piedmont-Midland Virginia Club; Secretary of Lee Literary Society; Vice-President of Lee Literary Society; Glee Club. Whether she was born with dignity, acquired dignity, or had digi.ity thrust upon her, is a subject tnr investiga- tion. We all prophesy that Elizabeth will some day be blest by being made a fond housewife. In studying home economics, she has learned that by doing her own tatting she can greatly economize. At any rate, she yvill be successful, yvhere ' er the is. THELMA LEAH KEAN Glee Club; Piedmont-Midland Virginia Club; V. W. (-. A.

But we do not think that even the pleasure of pedagog) ran change Thelraa from her determination to be a great pianist at some future day. BESSIE REID KEETON Piedmont-Midland Virginia Club; Y. V. C. A. Frivolous? Oh, no! You don ' t know her. A truer friend one couldn ' t wish; a more conscientious teacher can ' t be found. Her ambition is to have some unique way to introduce her lesson each dav at the training school. Hard work is not her only accomplishment, for didn ' t she have an important part in Alice in Wonder- land ? It was well done, too, as is all of her work.

Elsie is one of the literary lights of our school. The first thing that comes to our minds when we think of her is the chest of silver that she won by her quick wit and ready pen. If you haven ' t had the good fortune of know- ing her, you have missed much, for she is the jolliest kind of girl.

She has the ability to be dignified or gay at the proper time; and all the girls, whether old «r new. find her to be most willing to help them in anything — be it composing poetry, or making a hat. NELLIE SCOTT PAYN1 Lanier Literary Society; Home Economics Club. We don ' t need to tell Nell ' s object in life — she wears it on the third finger of her left hand. One of her most pleasing qualities is her trustworthiness. This is pecially true when refreshments are to be served, as those at the Lanier party can test if y . But this isn ' t her only accomplishment, for she does other things just as well. mi y — £ KATHLEEN DICKINSON PERRY Stratford Literary Society; Home Economics Club; V. W. C. A.

W § .-■Li h 1 RO i ALL MAUZY Senior Mascot (Elass ijistanj Chapter I FRESHMEN In the fall of 1913 a few brave explorers set out for the new country of Harri- sonburg. The voyage proved a safe one, and land was reached with comparatively few ad- ventures. The natives were friendly; but, while food and shelter were provided, new trails had to be blazed. During that first year of life in the new country, strong leaders were developed, and many great things were accomplished. The Seniors were beaten in basket ball by us — the new-comers; the Stratford Literary Society was organized, with some of our band as charter members; and other brave and flaming deeds were set firmly into the historic heavens. But a mighty trouble came upon the tribe. Vaccination was ordered by the Big Chief, and it was done unto us according to his word — but we survived. Chapter II SOPHOMORES Some of the early tribe dropped out, but many fresh squaws and papooses joined us. By this time our tribe flourished, and much honor came to us — that of associating witli the Seniors as sisters. Heap big show was given by the Mighty Sophomores. Now we were completely adopted by the natives, but the Juniors still proved un- friendly. Chapter III JUNIORS At the beginning of the third year but few of the old band were left, but we had many new members. A chief counsellor, Miss Mackey, was chosen. To her we owe our success, for no one could have been a better and kinder helper. Besides, a new leader from our own number was found for us, and she brought us through a very successful year. We helped break ground for a new dormitory, and later helped to lay the corner- stone. Now we had more time for social affairs, and were even entertained by the Seniors. Then we entertained them, and a more friendly feeling prevailed. The only serious battle was the Junior-Senior basket ball game, in which we were defeated. But we hid the scars of battle under brave smiles, and stilled the thumping of our hearts by beating the board walks. Chapter IV SENIORS At last the land of all expectations was reached ; but we were sadly disillusioned, ior Senior-land and Utopia are not synonyms. Senior privileges came, and with them many responsibilities, too numerous to mention. The much-feared P. T. overtook our band, but the disease was not so dreadful as usual. Again we had a new leader, Bess Mowbray; and in her we realized the best type of leadership, for we have been guided safely and wisely, so far. Thus endeth our history. May our experiences prove of value to other adven- turers who enter this strange but delightful country. Mabel Kknuig. irHfl ' ' ' .

The volley ball game was won by the team of Sophomores. The basket ball score was six to two in favor of the Sophomores. This meant little to the men, and they ri -umed their search. The next article was a large tray, from which hung b t- tK -. tin spoons, knives, and plates. Across the center ran the sentence. Sand- wiches and Salads of all kinds for sale by the Sophomore vendor-. When the tray was removed, a light from the box struck their eyes. It was the sun shining on a large silver cup. Bending over, they found that it was a trophy cup signifying the championship of the Sophomore Basket Ball Team. Much pleased with this discovery. Saunderson rose and gave the cup to Jim. This is the last in the box. Jim. Come, let ' s go back to camp. I ' ll carry this box and these trinkets, but you wrap that cup in this chamois. Be careful: don ' t drop it. as it will be a valuable addition to our collection.

The Notebook FOR I ill 1.0OD OF I III PUBLIC II ARRISI ) i;i IRG, IRGINIA. MAY 22 L9i; No 1 POLICE HUNTED MEMBER OF FACULTY JUNIOR-ENGLISH DID FRESHIES CUT WIRES Suspicious Bottle Seen Yesterda) morning in the midst of a chemistry lesson, a thundering knock was heard on the Laboratory door. The whole class was startled, «hile the teacher in charge appeared quite nerv- ous. Wending his way anxiously down the aisle, this popular and highly-es- teemed gentleman of the facultv gained the door and found there a massive man in a uniform of blue. The policeman immediately placed his heavy, official hand on the professor ' s shoulder and in- dicated that he must follow him. Some of the girls became weak with fright: others blazed with indignation. Our in- structor hopelessly looked back at the class, hesitated, then walked manfullv out of the room. It was explained later, in defense, by this same chemistry teacher, whom the class supposed then to be out on bond, that he had been greatly relieved to find the police only wanted him to de- termine the per cent of alcohol in a bottle of booze. 1 ' The strongest evidence in his favor is the testimony of the Senior Chemistry Class, that they saw, with their own eves, their beloved teacher distilling the alcohol from the said bottle of booze. Their statement is accepted unanimously on the campus, despite the tendency on the part of this class to take up for their instructor in all kinds of weather ' ' — cold or hot, dry or net. Brilliant Wedding of Weil-Known Couple Seniors Frantic-Great Crowd The chapel was .1 scene ut mrpi loveliness on Wednesday, November 22, when Mr. Normal Junior led Miss Good English to the altar. The bride, exquisitely dressed in a gown of beauty and grace, entered on the arm of her father, the well-known Judge Dictionarv. They ivcre met at the altar bv the groom and the minister, who united them in solemn wedlock, while Miss Mary Clement, Junior, rend- ered most beautifully the masterpiece, Oh, Perfect Love. After the ceremony, friends gathered to congratulate the lovely bride and the fortunate groom, both of whom are held in high esteem by the public. Girl Bitten by Wild Beast Last night, about twelve o ' clock, when everything was quiet and everybody in the land of dreams, a loud shriek from Room 4S aroused the dormitory. Flash lights flashed and sleepy maidens ran out into the hall to discover the cause. They stood around terrified. In a second Loulie Kellam issued from her door, screaming, ' A mouse bit my nose ! I ! The injured member was soon prop- erlv fixed up, and the girls went back to their beds to continue their interrupted slumbers. Miss Kellam ' s nose was not entirely put out of commission. It is doing well to-day in spite of the two distinct tooth- prints that remain. Mar. 19. — It is true that the most pleasant scenes are often changed sud- denly into the most boring ones of dis- contentment. The great populace of Harrisonburg had gathered on the porch and steps of Second Ponnilorv, hoping to be allowed to enter the Gymnasium to witness the Senior-Freshman game; but their hopes were in vain, for not a ray of shining light gleamed from a window of Lyons ' Den. The Seniors say the Freshmen cut the wires; the Freshmen av differently. Each Senior glared with ! heated indignation at each Freshman; I each Freshman gazed with utter con- tempt at each Senior; each anxious Sophomore and Junior walked the length of the porch with her invited guest. The affair has been tactfully ' hushed up by the Special Class; but we hear whispers are circulating that the Seniors are going to take the matter to a private court, while the Freshmen say that they will bring evidence for the defense which will beat the Seniors in more than one way. New Denizens of Dormitory New arrivals on the campus were giv- en a party and a welcome on the night of March .4. As soon as the hands of the clock reached ten, a tin horn was blown lustily; and the girls walked, danced, and ran to the end room in the upper hall. Little time was lost in preliminaries. (Continued on Page Two.) THE NOTEBOOK THE NOTEBOOK EDITED BY THE ANNUAL STAFF Entered at H. N. S. as First Class Mail Matter This is the first time that The Note- book has held a place in our annual, de- spite the valuable information it always contains. It is the aim and purpose of this piece of printed matter to reflect the life of the students at H. N. S., in order that the public may be enlight ened as well as amused. We are confident that anyone reading The Notebook will ' be convinced that the contents are far from serious; yet if we can cause a smile to play over the coun- tenances of some kind reader, we shall feel amply repaid. We sincerely hope that The Note- book will become one of the main fac- tors of interest in our annual during the future vears. The Extension Workers Suddenly, and much to the surprise of their many friends, Misses Gertrude Pierce and Annie Johnson have become intensely interested in extension work. Last week they left for Dale Enterprise, where they conducted a song service in the church. Evidently they accomplished a great deal of good, for at the Gypsy Smith meeting several nights ago they were waylaid by a host of representatives from that place, carrying large hymn books and beseeching the young ladies to visit them again. Denizens of Dormitory (Continued from page one.) Stunts were performed and applauded; songs were sung; and it is even said that a dignified and very important lady of our school did the Bear Dance. A huge basket of eats was then drawn from the closet. These promptly disap- peared. So did the girls when bedtime could no longer be put off. DOT FIFTEEN SPOT Oh, vere is dot fifteen spot gone? Oh, how, oh, how is it spent? — In chapel one day ve all vas told By our goot President. For de food ve pays fifty-seven per cent, In order dot you may live; De food you get is not rich fare, But de best dat ve can give.

Dirteen per cent — dot goes for hire, And it ' s mighty small at dot; For dese here peoples has to vork In vedder cold or hot.

For room rent goes full four per cent; Our crowd begins to swell. So ve do not complain, or ever raise Cain; For ve dink ve are treated quite veil. D. M. S. In Sporting Circles Rumor has it that two esteemed and dignified Seniors have become great sportswomen. One Sunday night Misses Daisy Johnson and Ruth Marshall, arm- ed with clothes bags and followed by the eager public, were seen wending their way over Mavpole Hill. They were go- ing snipe hunting. Whether they caught any or not — the public did not wait to see — ask them for the particulars of this trip. Great Athletic Meet Free-for-All Races. Three Times a Day.

The new girl who fluttered into our midst in msc-colored suit, and whose storv runneth thus: Off again; On again: Gone again. Society News Soon after the September arrivals a grand reception was held at ten o ' clock in the upper hall of Dormitory II. All the new students who were not present exactly on time soon wished that thev had been, for the old students had not been neglecting their duty. The selected audience was favored with a barefoot dance, a quartette, and a number of solos, which had to be urged from va- rious new girls. Some of the guests were asked to roll marbles with their noses down the entire length of the brilliantlv lighted hall. If thev did not comply with the requests of the hostesses thev soon wished they had not been so ill- mannered. There is talk of giving the new stu- dents next year more notice as to the exact time of the initiation — but we have our doubts. Beauty Questions All question! mriiu t ' be answered in thil column should be directed to Beaut) Editor, care t i i  ook. Is it fashionable now t . wear long dresses? It «... what is the proper length r — Anxious Stylf. The Normal giris -rt the fashion, Notice the length of their dresses. Nine inches from the floor is the proper length. Abbreviated skirt- are not worn by the dames of fashion. I cannot decide on the size of hat I wish this spring. Could you give me any relief on this subject? Mv suggestion is. If a cap fits you, wear it. I am a member of the Billikin Club, and I wish to join the Skinny Lanks. 11. .w shall I reduce mv weight in order that I mav become an eligible applicant for membership among the lean kine? —Anti-Fat. I should suggest walking around the Hudson in the Gym three times a dav applving the Heavy Weight stride. In cold weather my nose turns red. Could vou suggest any remedy for the same? Paint vour face to match vour nose. The effect is very glowing. I have such large hands. What shall I do? — Handsome. Put them to work. Is it the right thing to do to invite a voung man into the reception room on Sundav? Experience is the best teacher. Trv it once. Society Entertains The Three-Ninety-Nine gave a very elaborate and charming party one night during the winter quarter. Invitations — hand-painted ones — were flying here and there. After dark, automobiles were heard and evening-gowned ladies were deposited at the entrance of Dormitory I. Inside, a wonderful color scheme of pink and green was effectively carried out. The latest music ereeted one ' s ears, and to the sound of these enchanting strains wonders in the culinarv line were served the guests. Taken all in all, the societv editor can onlv say it was a most elaborate affair and worthy of the Four Hundred, as well as the Three-N ' inetv- Nine. Excitement Reigns Supremi ST! i .

THE NOTEBOOK Clean-up Day Fair Damsels Become Horny-Handed Daughters of Toil Gypsy Smith says, Clean up V Faculty says, Clean up! ' ' The girls of the Normal School spent Thursday, the tenth of May, on the Cam- pus, working with hands and hearts, as %vell as heads. There were as many groups as there are instructors, and thev accomplished wonders. Mr. Johnston ' s crowd trundled wheelbarrows with much grace and felicity, gathering up rubbish from Miss Mackey ' s group, who had the Herculean job of cleaning the cellar of Science Hall. The wheelbarrow gang did not confine its activities to one di- rection, however, but whisked away rocks and weeds and all manner of unsightly debris. The goose paths were spaded and hope- fully sown with grass seed by Mr. De- vier et als. Mr. Shriver, with a pair of gloves and a pickaxe superintended the weeding; Miss Gregg, the planting of geraniums. Miss Hudson hoed: Miss Bell planted; Dr. Wayland ploughed up the steepv hill by the Laundry and planted corn. There were many other energetic groups of workers, of whose splendid achievements our limited space and vo- cabularv forbid mention.

The Junior Class was delightfully en- tertained by its honorary members in Ba- con Hollow. It has been the scene of manv frolics but this was by far the most fun. The decorations were a very wet brook, (all inquiries may be addressed to Mr. Burns 1. green grass and blue moun- tains that kiss the skies. Surely nothing could be more charming.

The Clifford Devereux Play- ers Present Three Plays The open-air auditorium at the Nor- mal School was the scene of three de- lightfully enacted plays on May 21 and 22. Cedars made a background for the natural stage, which was flanked by spreading apple trees, and well lighted CLIFFORD DEVEREUX for the night performance by large elec- tric lights. The program was as follows: Much Ado About Nothing, May 21; The School for Scandal, Matinee. Mav 22; Everyman, Mav 22. MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING WELL PRESENTED Monday night the company gave Much Ado About Nothing, which was thor- oughly enjoyed by the appreciative audi- ence. The characters of Beatrice ami Benedick were played in a sprightly manner, which swept the audience with gales of laughter. Hero was a charming sweetheart for the most noble and accom- plished Claudio; and Don Pedro and 1 Don John as well as the other charac- j ters, were well presented. The scene in the garden was particu- larly well done, and Benedick ' s chang- ing expression called forth from the au- dience an echo of the snickers and chuck- les of the conspi.rators. The love affair of Claudio and Hero was breathlessly followed by tender-hearted maidens, who sniffed audibly at the groom ' s denuncia- j tion, and clapped hands ecstatically over the reunion. Everybody laughed at Don Pedro ' s toothache; Mr. Dingledine and Mr. Dil- lon have been complaining of the same affliction. THE SCHOOL FOR SCANDAL Tuesday afternoon a matinee perform- ance of The School for Scandal was given and equally well presented and enjoyed. The play, being by Sheridan, was neces- sarily clever and bright. Sir Peter and Lady Teagle, Joseph Surface, and his brother Charles, were particularly well done. So also were the characters of Sir Oliver and Moses, the Jew money- lender. The audience appreciated the quips and quirks and also the good act- ing which handled a rather delicate sit- uation so well. The players worked un- der a disadvantage because of the strong winds; but they were true philosophers — they grinned and bore it. EVERYMAN Everyman differs from the other two plays in that it is not light and enter- taining. It is a Morality play, and, in school girl language, deep stuff. The players did very well, and we considered VIOLA KNOTT it splendid. The open air theatre was not available because of a threatened storm, and the performance was given in the Assembly Hall.

Helena Marsh (Elir Sum (Eaptatns HE old University campus never looked prettier than to-day, tinted in the rich coloring of the October afternoon. The gigantic dome of the Rotunda rose in its magnificent splend- dor towards the blue heavens. Long purple shadows stretched themselves over the velvety lawn, which was strewn with the gorgeous leaves — a place in which to dream, not to settle difficult problems. Anyway, this is what Mar- jorie Burk thought as she sauntered along the winding walk that led from the University Post Office. Oh, how can I decide? I don ' t know which one I love! she exclaimed in disgust as she saw her sister approaching. No letters for you Ruth, and only two for Dad, Marjorie explained, linking her arm through her sister ' s. You have three there, said Ruth, glancing at the letters which Mar- jorie held in her otrrr hand. Is the third one from Dupree? Let me see them, continued Ruth, holding out her hand as if to take the letters. Oh, no! That you won ' t! laughed Marjorie. backing away from her sister ' s reach. Can ' t tell you anything about this one until after the game tomorrow. finished Marjorie, shaking the letter in the air childishly. Pshaw! Then I know it ' s from Dupree. Did he say what train the Georgia boys would come in on? Ruth continued as if she kn w that th? letter was from Dupree. Can ' t tell you. And then, I didn ' t say it was from Dupree, answered Marjorie, laughing tantalizingly and keeping the letter at a safe distance. Well, anyway, Virginia ' s going to win. She ' ll never let those Georgia Crackers come up here and beat us on our home grounds, even if they do boast that they have a stronger team than ours, Ruth remarked emphatically. I don ' t know so much about that, Marjorie exclaimed, coloring a little at her sister ' s teasing remark. Of course you don ' t, with the captains of both teams tagging at your heels. I ' ll bet if they were my suitors I ' d decide in a minute! retorted Ruth, running up the steps of their home. Marjorie, left alone, sat down on the steps and tried to pick up her thoughts where her sister had broken in upon them a few minutes before. For two years Dupree Stone had loved Mariorie Burk — ever since his memorable trip to the University at Christmas. Marjorie had returned his affection to some extent until Jack Coleman had come into her life one bleak day the winter before, when he had saved her from drowning while skating on the reservoir. A warm friendship had grown up between them. Then Jack had spoilt it all by falling in love with her too. This is how matters stand when our story opens. Lost to everything around her, Marjorie sat with her chin resting on the palms of her hands her favorite position when thinking, She was startled by a voice al her side. Is this the way you keep dates to go walking? Here I have been stand ing for five perfectly good minutes waiting for your dream to end, when wi miL ' ht have been swinging along some highway, laughed Jack Coleman, You mean thing! How dare you break in upon my thoughts? ex claimed Marjorie, jumping up and pinning on her hal to hide her confusion. Thev walked rapidly across the campus, past the Dining Hall and oul on the pike which led to the Observatory. Why do you so often, Marjorie. fail to keep your dates with me lately? asked Jack, after a pause in their lively conversation. Well, to tell you the very plain truth, 1 forgot to-day. But I will make up for it now by being very pleasant if you don ' t make me angry, answered .Marjorie. looking at him out of the corner of her eye and ignoring part of his question. •■That ' s the bargain, provided you allow me to talk of the subject that ' s nearest my heart, although you failed to answer me. said Jack, meeting Marjorie ' s eyes as a challenge. All right. Fire away — and let ' s have it over with, for I know you can ' t talk, think, or read about anything else except foot ball until after the game tomorrow, chattered Marjorie, knowing full well he did not mean foot ball. Look here, Marjorie, said Jack, stopping short in their swinging pace, You know what ' s nearest my heart, regardless of how dear my team and victory are to me. Please be serious, ana tell me just how matters stand be- tween Dupree Stone and me. Taking Marjorie ' s hands, Jack continued in a voice hoarse and tense, You know i love you, Marjorie, and it ' s useless to go over it again and again. Why do you keep us both in suspense — each gasping for a word, a look, and both hanging on to the last for a spark of hope. He paused for breath, and looked down at Marjorie ' s pale face. Jack. I can ' t. I have thought and thought, until my brain is almost turned. All day I ' ve been trying to reach some decision that would be fair to both — and it is so hard. When I am with you, I feel as if it must be you. Then, when I am with Dupree. I think he is the one. If either of you went out of my life to-day, I ' d miss you the same, I think. But I have reached this much of a conclusion, and it ' s the one hope left: I shall see you both to- morrow on common ground. I shall judge you there, and accept one or ask you both to cease your attentions, except as friends. That ' s the best I car do, answered Marjorie, dropping her eyes from Jack ' s dark appealing ones and turning in the direction of the Campus. 0 Marjorie. don ' t think I am blaming you; for. come what may. Ill love you until 1 die. But I just couldn ' t stand for jesting this evening, of all evenings. I felt I must havp some firm ground on which to stand. pleaded Jack, as he fell into step with Marjorie. They walked on in silence, each conscious of the other ' s presence, but knowing that words could only make matters more unexplainable. Group after group of students passed them and thought, What ' s wrong with our Captain and the Professor ' s daughter? Silence between them is something; new When they reached Marjorie ' s home, Jack broke the awkward silence and asked, You ' ll let me come over tonight, won ' t you, Marjorie? No, not tonight, Jack; I have promised to see Dupree, if his train gets here in time, answered Marjorie, feeling called upon to explain. A shade of disappointment passed over Jack ' s face; but he thought, If I must go down, I shall die game. He spoke aloud, Well, I can ' t ask you to wish me luck. It wouldn ' t be fair to the other fellow. But I give you warning, I am going to play with every ounce of strength to win — not only the game of football, but the game of hearts as well. Turning, without an- other word, he vanished in the gathering darkness. The day for the game dawned bright and clear, with a hint of frost in the air, making one feci glad to be alive, and ready for almost anything. Ex- citement reigned supreme at the University. The very atmosphere vibrated with the uncertainty of battle. As the hour for the game drew near, Lam- beth Field seemed to be the Mecca for everyone. The stands were filled to overflowing. Long streams of blue and orange bunting fluttered out on the evening breeze. Golden chrysanthemums nodded from pretty girls ' coats. The whole world seemed to be one moving picture of Orange and Blue. Every now and then the mellow notes of the band would be drowned by a rousing chorus from the students ' section. That good old song of Wah-hoo-wah, We ' ll sing it o ' er and o ' er; It cheers the heart and warms the blood To yell and shout and roar. We come from Old Virginia, Where all is bright and gay. Let ' s all join hands and give a veil For the dear old U.-V.-A. ' Wah-hoo-wah ! Wah-hoo-wah ! U-ni-V. Vir-gin-i-a! Hoorah-ray! Hoorah-rav, ray, rav ! U.-V.-A.!! A pause, a hush, fell for an instant on the scene, as the Orange and Hlue, and the Red and Black trotted out and took their places on the field. Then one long-drawn-out yell went up on every side, T-e-a-m! Marjorie Burk sat in the grandstand — pale, every nerve tense, all knowl- edge of time and surroundings lost, her eyes glued on the moving mass be- low. She heard, or seemed to hear, some one sav, Look. Virginia is being pushed back on her own lines. But she saw only Coleman — saw him rise with the ball, jerk himself loose from the tangled heap of arms and leg and dash towards goal. Yell after yell rose, urging him on. Go on. Cole- man! We know you can do it! She saw him Stagger, fall. rise, and Stumble at last over the goal. Virginia had scored. Then above the yelling mob the whistle sounded. The first half was over. Georgia took a decided stand in the second half. Her lines stood like Gibraltar. Again and again Virginia tried to break them, but without suco Coleman saw his team being pushed back gradually inch by inch. Stand after stand was made, only to be broken. He saw Dupree start with the ball, and tried to block the play. A ton of humanity seemed to fall on him. Would they never get up? At last he was jerked to his feet, and someone gave him a keen slap between the shoulders just as Dupree made one of the prettiest touchdowns that had ever been made, even on that field. The haze gradually left Coleman and. stunned and sore, he took his place again. Then the whistle blew clear and shrill. It seemed to say. ' Virginia beaten. 14-6. Can it be true? Xot a sound was heard as the teams filed out. tired and trembling. A hush like that of death fell over the crowd. Jack, pale and dirty, slipped unnoticed through the silent mob. and hurried to his room in the Randall Building. He could not face his team now. He could not let them read the disappointment and misery which he knew must be printed there. He wanted to be alone and think. Once in- side his room, he turned the key in the lock, threw himself into a chair, with his face in his hands, and sat for an eternity it seemed — going over each point of the game, weighing in the balance their failure. Why had he failed, when the victory meant so much? How could he stand any show against such a hero as Dupree Stone? His marvelous strength, his wonderful plays that had brought the Georgians their victory — and woven through all these merits was his towering personality. But why go over it all? He could reach no conclusion to any of his endless questions. At last he rose, turned on the light, and prepared to change his suit, for he still wore his football togs. Just as he was about to open the door to the besieging mob on the outside, his eye fell on a little square envelope that had been shoved under it some time during his meditation. His face blanched, for he did not fail to recognize the even handwriting of Marjorie Burke. He broke the seal madly, eager to have it all over with, and drew out the little white card with this written across it. Jack, you are the one. He gazed with bulging eyes. Was he dreaming or had the day ' s proceedings maddened him? He was brought back to earth by a renewed banging on the door. Looking at the card once more to make sure, he exclaimed — almost in a whisper — Heavens. how women love! Then with radiant face he threw the door open to meet his team and fellow-students, their captain once again. Carrie Lee Bishop Qlleau-mi Saij ' Twas on a sunny morn of May, With will to work and then to play, That mostly maids came singing; In shoes low-heeled and broad at toes, All sorts of rakes and plows and hoes The marshalled hosts came bringing. They planted corn, they planted beans, They wired the paths, they mowed the greens, They trundled barrows bumping; While some so deftly pruned a tree, Some grubbed the flowers that shouldn ' t be— The trash in quarries dumping. They planted much, they cleaned up well, They barely heard the dinner bell — So diligently spading; Or was it that the signal rang White marching lines so loudly sang, Far down the held parading? The lunch upon green May Pole Hill Was calculated well to fill The most expectant longing; And when the games and sports began, Soon every gentle maid and man Unto the lists went thronging. The dignity of cap and gown Was soon perceptibly let down, In racing and in chasing; And when the faculty played ball, With pitching hard and batting tall, The fun was all-embracing. At last the sun went laughing down, And denizens of school and town Went homeward lamely limping; But soon for blistered neck and palm Dame Nature mixed a soothing balm, And for the backs nigh crimping. ■ V iS f V V The past session has been made notabk by the large number of appro- priate gifts that have come to the school from persons outside the institution as well as fmm those connected with it. The plaster casts, reproducing famous works of art. that are now to be seen in the main lobby, in the library, and in the dining room are fine evidence of the generous spirit and good taste that have distinguished the recent remembrances of friends. Just here our purpose is to call particular attention to the elaborate frieze that is being placed around the lobby of the Students Building. More than a century ago. when Napoleon was planning a visit to Rom. Thorwaldsen. the eminent Danish sculptor, was charged with the task of dec- orating the Quirinal palace for the conqueror ' s reception. Under this charge ' he produced that masterpiece, The Entry of Alexander the Great into Baby- lon, which achieved prodigious distinction and which has been copied in different parts of the Old World. Our lobby frieze is a replica of the above masterpiece, and is being put in place block by block. The four sections already up are the gifts of the following groups of persons: The Kindergarten Club. 1914-17; the Summer School Students of 1916; the Industrial Classes of the Main Street School. 1917; and the Faculty of the Xcrmal School. With gratitude unfeigned we would in fair Acknowledgement express how pleasure grows Upon a gift when love doth tender it.

Miss Annie (always called Mi-- Nannie in her home county of Fluvanna ) was nut quite eighteen. Her county had hem in the path of ruin: her home had suffered much and often. The tall, sknder young woman saw before her a task the task of helping father and mother, the task of getting an education for herself and for her sisters, the ta-k of strengthening and sweetening all the life about her. Ever since the day her father had said to her. as he went away to battle. I leave you. my daughter, to care for mother and the c hildren. she had felt the strong call of responsibility. It never ceased to speak mightily to her. And so. along with her kindred and her neighbors, she set her hand at one • to making things better. She found pleasure in her task. Indeed, strange as it may seem, she had found keen joy during the war in helping to meet emer- gencies. She was young enough to revel in the excitement of it all. She loved the father, the uncles, the cousins, the friends that were in it. She loved to talk of the days when a brave people battled for a great cause; and for a L ' ood while before the end came to her she kept saying that she wanted a flag — a flag of the Stars and Bars — for her very own. Those nearest to her understood that sht wished it to rest above her heart when she went back at last to Old Flu. And so it was. One who knew Miss Annie well said: I should not call her naturallv patient — rather impatient, certainly in the sense that she was much more apt to set to work to right a wrong or heal a pain than to resign herself from the beginning to enduring it. Enduring was the last thing she would do — but she did much of it. Nearly a year, in all. she soent in the hospitals of Richmond and Baltimore — many months and years of pain elsewhere: but in it all and through it all she sang the psalm of the brave heart. In watching her in the last days one understood the words, And having done all. to stand. And she moved others to do too. While she got an education for herself, she also helped her sisters. She kept learning always. One rich year she studied at Hollins. She taught in the public and the private schools of Old Flu and other counties. Then she was called to the head of the school now known as Virginia Intermont College, but she did not accept the position. In- stead, she went as a teacher to Hollins, where she joyously worked until illness enforced a prolonged stop. Out of the hospitals, she came back home and taught on — in bed or out of it — taught the neighbors ' children who could not walk far to school, taught her nieces and nephews, taught the neighborhood boys who needed to get ready for college. Failing of other material, she lay in bed and educated the cook, now one of the best teachers in the colored schools of Fluvanna. In the autumn of 1909 Miss Annie came to Harrisonburg and entered the young and hopeful life of Blue-Stone Hill. Here she spent the last rich years of her long life. Here she won and deserved the love and esteem of all who learned to know her. Two thousand young women today, in all parts of Vir- ginia, keep her sweetness in their hearts. The Annual of 1915 was dedicated to Miss Annie. The Cottage will always be dear to her memory. She was always young — always thoughtful of youth. As she saw the journey ' s end approaching with the end of the school quarter — the end of the year — she did not want the girls ' Christmas made gloomy by her own Home-going. And so it was fitting to her wish that she could slip quietly away while they were still at work. Her heart was young. When the heart is young, No carping tongue Can set the world awry; The sun will keep his wonted place, The stars bestow a gentle grace, The earth will show a smiling face, When the heart is young. When the heart is young. No arrow flung From dark hate ' s quiver vile Can pierce the virtue of a friend. Or put sweet kindness at an end. But friends their friendship will defend, When the heart is young. When the heart is young No dirge is sung ( ) ' er dead hopes of the past ; The face is bright, though the head be gray, The tears of night pass as dew awav — New hope is born with each new day, When the heart is young. fOHN W WAYLAND July 18, 1915 Miss Mamie Evalyn McMillan to Mr. William James McMillan, of Mouth of Wilson, Virginia.
