SALE An Apyrrriattmt Senator George N. Conrad has been identified with our school since its beginning. From 1909 to 1914 he served as a member of the Board of Trustees. A frequent visitor to the school, and Superintendent of a Sunday School attended each year by a very large number of our girls, he has been thoroughly identified with the life of our institution and has endeared himself in many ways to both teachers and students. As a member of the State Senate in the General Assembly of 1916 and again in 1918, he has ever been foremost in all movements for social and moral welfare, and for the ad- vancement of public education. An eloquent speaker and an untiring worker, possessed of determination and persever- ance without limit, he has made for himself an enviable posi- tion in the public life of Virginia. In the Senate he has always taken a deep interest in the normal schools, and he has fought for all four of them, with all his might. As to how well he has succeeded, the records will show. Our new dormitory — Spottswood Hall — the com- pletion of our Dining Hall and Library Building — Harrison Hall — the additions to our equipment in various directions, and the other improvements soon to be made on our grounds, are largely the fruit of his labors in behalf of our school. We honor him for all he has done for us and for all hs means to us. Htnjtttta JFlmurr ' Twas in the springtime, fair to see, When o ' er the hill and o ' er the lea The soft, sweet breath of Life beguiled From sleep each blossom of the wild. Out from a dark and shady bower, Where mightier trees did o ' er it tower, Reached forth the dainty dogwood flower To sip the nectar of Life ' s kiss, And, sipping, fill the woods with bliss. The chaste, sweet beauty of the flower Is symbol of our State ' s high power — Her faithfulness to that clear call Of peace, love, liberty for all; Its lifted blossoms, purest white, Leaning ever towards the light. Call, On! Virginia, for the right! Some day shall come that fairer spring When every man shall be a king! Ykrlie Story Planting tlie Snnuumn There on the edge of the woods by the Frogpond stood our tree, slender and straight. When we saw it, all feeling of ill-humor because of the mu 1 and slush we had encountered in our search, gave place to visions of nodding white blossoms on our campus when spring should complete the awakening of our State flower. Prompted by a wise forethought of possible stubborn roots and rocky ground, we had prevailed on Mr. Little to go along and help us untangle the one from the other. Apropos of the tree, we Juniors tried our hand at versifying. For several days we had a dogwood renaissance, wherein facts and bits of sentiment and legend, centering around this American tree, were collected here and there, some of which were distilled into poetry. So worthy a theme caused even the humblest of us to call up a bit of past experience related to our old-time friend, and to fit it to metre. One evening at twilight a long line of white-clad Juniors formed a pro- cessional and encircled the tree. We planted it, various wishes and remin- iscences being sifted in around the roots with each shovelful of earth. Every- one ' s thoughts went back to the old woods and to her own particular dog- wood tree that had served as a spirited steed in childhood days. This led the way to other memories — the first bloom as a signal for corn planting in the spring, and the abundant red berries in the autumn as a warning of a long, hard winter. The deepest impression of all seemed to have been made by the dogwood switch, used occasionally in lieu of the proverbial hickory by the schoolma ' am to force the erring into the straight road. Then amidst all the good wishes for our tree ' s long life, a dog-lover bit- terly yet humorously reminded us that the same Legislature that last winter adopted the dogwood tree, almost abolished the dog forever. Perhaps the law-makers intended the State flower as a memorial of the forsaken Virginia dawg — bark and all. The old legend was brought to mind of the bad little elf, intent on mis- chief, who once pulled the white petals off and scattered them all over the ground just before the children came to see the dogwood tree. A good fairy was distressed, for she knew that it would never do to disappoint them. So she stuck the petals all on again with magic, but in her haste she put them on backwards; and that is why they always have the little brown points on their edges. Virginia chose wisely her symbol — a tree that shuns all things low and dark and leans always towards the light, a tree with flowers as pure as Vir- ginia ' s name, and limbs as strong as the deeds of her men. Now this slender tree, waiting to ensnare all the magic of the moonlight in its white blossoms and all the strength of the sunlight in its straight branches, stands on our campus, first to meet the eye. a symbol of Old Virginia and a memento of the Junior Class. Mamie Omohundro Spacing September 27, 191 ' JTTHEN sang Dsborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying, Praise ye the Lord for the avenging of Israel, when the people will- ingly offered themselves. Lord, when thou wentest out of Seir. when thou marehedst out of the held of Edoni, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped, the clouds also dropped water. The mountains melted from before the Lord, even Sinai from before the Lord God of Israel. Awake, awake, Deborah; awake, awake; utter a song: arise, Barak. and lead thy captivity captive. For the divisions of Reuben there were great search ings of heart. VVhv abodest thou among the sheepfolds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks? Gilead abode beyond Jordan: and why did Dan remain in ships? Asher continued on the sea shore, and abode in his harbors. Zebulun and Naphtali were a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death in the high places of the field. . . . They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera. Praise ye the Lord for the avenging of Israel, when the people will- ingly ottered themselves. Jlraijrr September 27, 1917 |P| LORD, our God, today we call upon thy name again, as we have V-C so often done before when we have stood at the beginning of a long and unknown way. We call upon thee because we feel our need of help; we call upon thee because we have never known thv power or thy mercy to fail. We call upon thee in behalf of our school, as a servant of thine and of the State. We call upon thee in behalf of these young women who have come to us from far and near. We call upon thee in behalf of the homes they have left, and the tasks there unfinished. We call upon thee in behalf of the homes to which they shall in due time return, and the schools in which they shall teach. May those homes, our Father, and those schools and that work all be richly blessed because of thy bless- ings here. We call upon thee, O God, in behalf of a suffering age. The world is bitterly sad today because of sin. The nations are torn and bleeding because they must pay again the red price of life and liberty. Justice is crying for strong champions; peace and love are waiting on justice. O God. help us to pay the price, and pay it forever — for our children and our children ' s children to the last generation. We thank thee, O God, for the service that women have rendered in bringing the world to life and welfare and joy and peace. We thank thee for the service they are rendering in many lands today. Even tho their greatest deeds have always been wrought out thru pain and their dearest gifts bestowed thru sacrifice, we thank thee that they have never failed. Sweeten the sacrifice that the womanhood of the world is making today, and strengthen their hearts in the hours of pain. Set the light before their faces — bring the morning, the new ( ' ay, quickly, () Lord! In Jesus 1 name we pray. Amen. Almtma? AB00riattott (ifltrrra A.

As Togo would say, Saturday afternoonly she progress to moving the- ater and gaze extenselv at aumb lady. We shall all miss her next year, even the monitors. HELEN ACTON Behold her sunny face. Some of its sunniness may be reflected from her lovely hair, but a lot is from the inside, looking out. Helen ' s moods are as varying as the sea, where she lives, but she has many house-wifely traits — ' Oh ! I ' m not going to teach, she says, with a knowing little smile. GRETCHEN BELL When is Gretchen a dig- nified schoolma ' am? When she is on her way to Water- man, a huge knitting bag on one arm, the other hold- ing a small wood-pile and further encumbered by a double-boiler and other im- plements of the culinary art. But this is only one side of the question, for she ' s equal- ly efficient in eyerything else. CARRIE BISHOP Friends, Romans, Coun- trymen, lend her your ears; she ' s well worth listening to, whether it be on Burns, woman ' s suffrage, or law and order as not preserved in Burruss Hall. No Dis- cipline Troubles for Carrie B. And we really think she will be what is called an inspirational teacher. KATHERINE BROUGHTON Six letters at one mail, and all from the same person! We wonder if it is a broth- er. Katherine is a Norfolk girl, but though so far from home, nothing disturbs her sweet serenity- You ' ve read about the fairy princesses with golden hair and rose- leaf complexions? Well, Katherine has them all beat on those two. EMMIE BROWN A ' winning word, a P eas- ant smile, Dressed so sweet and just in style. What could we say that would c escribe Emmie bet- ter than that? She says she is going to teach next year. Maybe ; but we doubt i . MADGE BRYAN Madge is full of original ideas that she has the abil- ity to earrv out mighty well. We found that out long ago ; so she has been class pres- ident for three years. Her smile is very winning, es- pecially in the smileage races, and she can take off Miss Lyons marvelously. JULIET COFFMAN Jule is a town girl; but she spent a month in Ashby Hall, and every one grew to love her and was sorry to see her leave. (In- deed, Jule is widely loved — even North Carolina holds a worshipper.) And what would the class in Child Psychology do without her nephews and nieces for ex- amples? Now, read the prophecy. ANNIE LEE CRAWFORD Annie Lee has been with us three years; and if it were not selfish, we should wish she could be here three more. Many are her virtues, but even during her siege of P. T. we missed an old, famil- iar one known as t-e-m-p-e-r. We shall all wish that we could hear her low, sweet voice, when we look at her picture. NELLIE CRITZER Behold the Intellect of our class! You should hear one of her pupils discourse on how Miss Nell knows everything. Though Nell is an A-l student, she is by no means a grind, as her work for Y. W. and the Lees has shown. TILLIE DERFLINGER Where does Tillie shine? In anv and all of Miss Gregg ' s classes, even the re- nowned P. T., which you must know is remarkable. And on the basketball court, too. We all admire Tillie ' s deep blue eyes, where we think a hidden secret lies, but she is discreetly silent. What ' s the matter with Derflinger? — She ' s all right! ESTHER DERRING Do you remember Esther and her flying; skirts when she danced the Virginia Reel? Her optimistic na- ture makes everyone forget how much has to be done, in the cal m so ving Df the problem o f doing it. Her views on men an d matri- mony have reduced us all to complete helpl ;ssness time and again MAMIE EPPES Mamie is a town girl and bears the enviable record of never being late to class on that account; and after she gets there she does mighty good work. The only thing that worries her is her quethtions when teaching history. Mamie loves to dance, and is present at all the ball games especially for that. GRACE FISHER Oh! when Grace plays the piano you just drift off on a sea of harmony, perfectly safe in the knowledge that no false note will cause a shipwreck. Grace has won the hearts of all the Meth- odist people and has many rides in their cars, which make the rest of us sigh and look wistful. GEORGIE FOREMAN Georgie is a great lover of outdoor sports; on a bright sunny day she is to be seen crossing the cam- pus on her way to the tennis courts, swinging a racket gaily. Golf, hockey, and basketball also claim her leisure time. Besides these accomplishments she is a true and unselfish classmate. CATHERINE FHRR What is her wail ? — Oh, Miss Gregg says mv voice is unspeakable! But what ' s a voice when you have a good sport, true friend, and fine basketball player, all done up in one package, and delivered in the shape of a prettv girl? MARY GARDEN Behold the ladv who can make speeches about canning clubs, and about other things under the jurisdiction of an Institutional girl. On the outside of that wise little head it the prettiest hair in school, as any one will de- clare. (We didn ' t mean to make a poem, but Man- Garden is a good subject for the efforts of any genius.) GRACE GAYV If vou turn anything over to Grace, it will be done well, especially along ar- tistic lines. Doth she not impart a love of the aesthetic even to her young hopefuls at the training-school ? We shall all miss her next year, but we have some good re- minders in her work as shown in this book. ACDREY GIRARD Audrey is one of the few people in the world who can have measles twice in one year, and still smile gai- ly at her schoolmates. She was just the girl for Vice- President of Y. V., and we know her sunnv disposition will carry her far in the world, as it has in the hearts of all her friends. REBECCA GOLDMAN Rebecca has a far-away, dreamy smile that shows her thoughts are often far away from H. N. S. In the mus- ical world she is a shining light, for even she admits that she can rival the mock- ing birds, if she only has Connie to start the tune. If Rebecca ' s kindergarten chil- dren are at all susceptible, they will fall in love with their little teacher. FLOSSIE GRANT This room is such a mess! How many times has Flossie greeted her room- mates with that? But even their teasing remarks (they are Juniors) and her efforts to straighten things out, don ' t keep Flossie from studying her lessons; you can find her right on the job, and you may know that she never will shirk. MATTIE GREGORY Mattie has a sort of in- definable something about her gentle personality that is like a refreshing draught. Thev sav still waters run deep; so we shall have to wait a while before we ' ll know what is underneath. Maybe the Prophecy will come true! WILLIE GUTHRIE You ' ve got twelve letters this morning, Willie! Oh, Ennis, are anv of tliem from Fred? Forsooth, gather what ve will from the above; but let us rejoice with Willie that she and the cinder path from Spottswood didn ' t collide while Fred was around. Dire would have been the results, we fear, MARTHA HAUCH Martha makes a stunning: Red Cross nurse and is an idea] graduate in a certain blue cap and gown. But let us speak not of the latter. She is amazingly practical for one so pretty; but then you ' ll find little surprises lurking everywhere about Martha, which make her all the more interesting. LAURA HENLEY Yes, she is from Norfolk, but it ' s strange how she does lo-ve Harrisonburg. But Lau- ra is a lady of many loves, we have found. She is the girl who sends her room- mate out into the hall, while she and Dorothy discuss deep matters of Student Gov- ernment; but we all love her so that we forgive this temporary unkindness to Lemma. CATHERINE HINTON Descriptive adjectives fail us; just look again at the picture. But we may say that she is such a good dan- cer that she can do it on horseback, and her histrion- ic talents are well known, especially to the Stratfords. MAE HOOVER Mae looks sedate, but some of us who know her in her gayer hours find a sur- prising lot of fun inside. She can afford to be care-free, for she never has anything yet to be done. No sooner is a task assigned than Mae takes herself librarywards and does it, having then the rest of her time for mild en- tertainment. MILDRED HOSHOUR Mildred lives near enough to school to go home for week-ends, and this she does while her less fortunate neighbors languish and pine to do likewise. It speaks well for the way she keeps her work up, and also makes her very sweet-tempered ; so we are doubly glad when she comes back. MARGUERITE HOUSHOLDER Marg is the life of her hall and the chief prop of any money-making organiza- tion; she will buy anything and everything for a benev- olent cause, and eat it with- out a murmur. Marg ' s ba- by-talk goes queerly with her tall young-ladyhood, but it is attractive just the same. May she always have plen- ty of spondulicks! ANNIE JOHNSON Were good-nature a dis- ease, Miss Godfrey would have a serious case on her hands in Annie. Why, even two weeks ' seclusion in the library couldn ' t take the joy- out of life for Annie. She is an all-round girl; in for everything, especially hard- ware. MARY JONES Mary ' s pink cheeks get ev- en pinker, and her soft voice becomes more beguiling when she ' s trying to get some one to talk in Y. V. And the way they can ' t refuse makes it plain to us that she is one whose good opinion is val- ued. STELLA KANE Stella has been with us on- ly a year, but she has gain- ed manv honors in that time. Didn ' t the division super- intendent to whom she wrote for a position offer her a lifetime job requiring train- ing in Household Arts? Where will she go from here? LOULIE KELLAM The rat made Loulie fa- mous in her Junior Year, and ever since she has lived up to her reputation man- fully. She made a wonder- ful Romeo, displaying at that time a fine bass voice which we liad never suspected be- fore. If Loulie can contin- ue to do well, her life will be a success, as it has been here. MILDRED KIDD I might not know what it ' s all about, But vou bet, by gum, I ' ll soon find out, is precisely the frame of mind with which Mildred meets everything, from Math. 57 to P. T. And speaking of practise-teaching, Miss Gregg has allowed her to teach a class in the High School — Nuff sed. PAULINE LAYMAN Now, let ' s see, who is the girl with that gorgeous coppery hair? Why, it ' s Pauline; and you can be sure that she is seeing something in connection with the prac- tise-house. Pauline can ev- ermore teach the training school children how to make dresses for the Belgian ba- bies; marvelous creations in pink and blue flannelette come from her capable fin- gers. MARY LIFSEY Sis is an enthusiastic Glee Club member and is al- ways there with her white dress on, calling the roll; but P. T. has been the means of changing her musical stand- ards, for now she sings such selections as Baa! Baa! black sheep, have you any wool ? Although Sis goes to school here, she ' s wearing a diamond; so we ha ' e oor doots. KATHRYN LOOSE She dropped i nto our midst with a bang at the beginning of the second quarter, and she has been banging away ever since at classes, P. T., basketball, and tennis — all with equally good results. She has also become fixed in the hearts of all her class- mates and teachers. We wish we had known her be- fore. KATHARINE McCLUNG Behold the lint-white locks! If onlv we could take our photographs in color, this ponderous tome would be much brighter for Katha- rine ' s picture. Now we need a few planes and paint cans for decorations, as represen- tative of her good work among the town children. Katharine is always busv and happy, and we shall miss her. I etta Mcdonald Etta has given us all to understand that though she has taken two years of pro- fessional work, she does not expect to teach ; the at- tractions of farming and a farmer are making too strong an appeal for us to hold her in our ranks verv long. HELENA MARSH Behold the Editor-in-Chief of The Schoolma ' am — the lightning change Mademois- elle Efficiency. Helena can do anything from typewriting to teaching French and speechifying in Chapel ex- tempore — and all as fast as a motion picture. To name her achievements this book would have to be run in serial form for several years. EDNA MATTHEWS Edna is of the tall, wil- lowy type, with dreamy blue eves. This is her first year with us, and we hope that she likes us as much as we like her. Her record as a practice teacher has been enviable, and as to her ability to plav basketball — well, any time vou ' ll listen, Primmie will discourse on that subject. IRENE MOORE Irene is the girl who en- tertains us with graphic de- scriptions of Greene Coun- ty, and her missionary work there. She can be screaming- ly funny, but we all know that down underneath is a sincere desire and ability to help others. This she has done throughout her whole life. MARY NASH Sh ! Mary, we are not going to talk very loud, but just give us a chance to sav that if vou keep a school room as well as vou do the library, vou will be a suc- cess in your chosen profes- sion. Mary has that dig- nity which all Seniors strive for, and post-graduates at- tain. MARGARET OMOHUNDRO Margaret has deep, dark eves that hold all sorts of fascinating possibilities for looking love to eves that speak again, as Bvron has it. Her roommates tell us, She writes to more bovs! But she has just as big a place in our hearts, and we shall all miss her next year. ELLA PECK Mix a pint of hard work; a half-pint of the weary hours spent on P. T. ; a half- pint of time consumed in trv- ing to get out of societv du- ties; a quart of hours used in relating present and past love affairs; season with a smile, a nod of greeting, and an impulsive embrace — and you have Peck. GERTRUDE PIERCE Laugh, and the world laughs with vou, is Ger- trude ' s motto, and the spon- taneity of her laughter is as contagious as the measles. If she is troubled, she never shows it — except when Annie fails to mop; if she is hap- py, she radiates it. As a bas- ketball player, Pierce takes the cake— Ray! Rav ! Rah! Rah! Pierce! ELIZABETH PRIMROSE She declared she would murder us if we called her Primmie in the Annual, but it is an awful tempta- tion. Being Senior Captain is a hard job, but she knew how to hold it down, and every- one will root for Primmie. There, we didn ' t mean to do it, but — . English 64 brought out her oratorial abilities. CHRISTINE REAVES Christine is tall and im- pressive, but it doesn ' t keep her from being sweet and companionable. Some sav that it is hard to find out what is going on in her mental cavity, but we ' ll guarantee it ' s interesting. All the little tads at the training school admire her, which is the 5 best recommendation we know. ELIZABETH Rt ' BUSH Elizabeth was some insect in the Senior Circus. But she is not so small in pro- portion, for that massive hrain and dignified air are the envv of all her fellow- sufferers among the prac- tise teachers. Elizabeth will make good, all of us know. MARY SEEBERT Queen of mayonnaise makers! And her culinarv talents do not stop there. If the way to a man ' s heart is via the dinner table, Man- will have a swift and suc- cessful journey thereto. She will never be an author, but that makes no never minds. She does make a mighty good friend. EMILY SMITH Emily ' s lovely color bright- ens every corner where she may be, and there vou ' ll hear her singing, too There is no more gleeful member of the Glee Club, though she does take Miss Seeger ' s tests on Child Psvchologv with a puckered brow, in- dicative of deep thought. I.EMMA SNIDER Lemma is a girl after vour own heart, regardless of that heart. She is the one who will do the hard iobs and do them well — Business Manager of the Annual, for example. It will be hard to part from Lemma in June, but we can all be cheered up bv knowing that she ' ll come out on top, with a smile. RACHEL SPEAS Rachel hails from North Carolina, and when she came into our midst we soon learned that her hobbv was rural life, and her motto, Pigs is Pigs. Not only did she get her picture in the paper and a trip to Wash- ington on a pig, but she came to H. N. S. on a pig. We wish more pigs would bring us Rachels. DOROTHY SPOONER Spooner has had the high- est honor in school conferred on her, and we think it is .none too good. All she asks is for it to be looked over and then we all do our best under her leadership. Be- sides this, she can make the best-looking man in the whole school, and also talk darkv dialect to beat the band. VIRGINIA STYNE Never do anything to-dav that you can put off till to- morrow, is Virginia ' s motto, and she lives up to it brave- ly, except when someone says, Go to Mt. Jackson. Then she doesn ' t believe in putting off till any to-rrov- row. We wonder now wheth- er she really expects to teach or whether she ' s going to try a matrimonial experi- ment with Ella ' s old bach- elor. BANIE VVALDEN Banie will remain in our hearts and memories forever as a loval Stratford and a wonderful ground hog. But there is a more serious side to her nature, as her conver- sation at the table shows. Her long suit is doing all day practise teaching for Miss Mathews, and bringing home apples as love gifts from her kiddies. DALLAS WARREN Dallas goes about her work and play so quietly that we hardly know she is there, until there is really something to decide; then she comes forward, and we find that she has a mind and heart always ready to do good work and help. MARGARET WEBB Everybody has loved Mar- garet during her short two years here ; even some of those scarce creatures known as town boys. Many a homesick or love-sick little girl has found a solace in her room and gentle com- fort. All of us hope as earnestly as she does that the war will soon be over; and that is saving a good deal. MARGUERITE WHITNEY Whit wrote home; she got a check; she went down town; she bot four kum- back puffs and two bags of peanuts; she bot some other things, came back, and wrote home again. Generosity is her chief characteristic, and she ' s lots of fun. She is a fine Household Arts student. Didn ' t Miss Spilman tell her she was a treasure? DOROTHY WILLIAMS Dorothy ' s happy, care-free little songs will cheer vou up even in vour bluest mo- ments. She has a capacity for hard work, but likewise a genius for avoiding the aforementioned. She is characterized bv a charming friendliness which extends to all who know her. KATIE WILSON If vou hear agonized sounds betokening mirth in the library, begin to focus your eyes for a tall, solemn would-be schoolma ' am who is sure to be the cause of it. Katie is a joy to us all — no one has ever taken Math. 57, Ed. 65, and P. T. with the same nonchalant disregard, and vet ultimate success, as she has. Wwv tiip Wm in 192S The breeze that fluttered the curtains at my window was so spring-like that it set me to thinking of other springs I had known. Then, seized with a happy thought, I drew the desk telephone toward me, and taking down the receiver, said: 2150-J, please. — Yes. — Hello, is this you, Helena? This is Margaret. It ' s just so pretty today that I ' ve been thinking of how lovely Harrisonburg used to be in the spring-time, and I ' ve almost made myself homesick to see it again. The orchard is in bloom now, and the robins are running all over the campus. — Yes; and there are thousands of dandelions on Maypole Hill. Let ' s go back for Commencement. — What do you say? — Oh, that hus- band of yours is a good-enough soldier to take care of himself a few days, while we run off and renew our youth. Let ' s make Esther Derring give her Latin exams, at Bryn Mawr early enough to get away; and we ' ll write Edna Matthews that those girls at Wel- lesley know enough Math, already, and she really must come. — That ' s so; Tillie Derflinger is physical director there, and they can come together. We can have a real class reunion, and it will be like old times again. — Yes, that ' s just the trouble. — The class of 1918 has so many famous people, and so many that are indispensable where they are, that a good many of them won ' t be able to get back. — No, Susie Hawkins won ' t be there, as her missionary work in China keeps her too busy. And Irene Moore married a Frenchman whose life she saved when she was driving a motor truck in France. Dallas Warren won ' t get back either. — Why, her husband is a diplomat at the English court. He was very influential in bringing about the signing of the peace treaty. : ' — Yes, some of the girls are already at Blue Stone Hill. Virginia Styne is the school physician, and Katie Wilson is rivaling Dr. Wayland as a his- torian. Did you know Gertrude is there too? — My dear, she is Miss Pierce, the English assistant; and the girls always ask her to chaperone them when the boys come to see them. But where is Elizabeth Primrose? — Doesn ' t that sound exactly like her? Nothing less than an aeroplane would satisfy her buoyant spirits. Have you heard about Marguerite Housholder? — Someone left her fifty or sixty thousand dollars, and she has put most of it into racing automo- biles.— I read it in the newspaper a few days ago; you know Audrey Girard is business manager of the Staunton Leader, and I subscribe to it. In one of the Sunday supplements there was also a full-page picture of Georgie Foreman, champion woman tennis player of America! — I should say we arc proud of her. Stella Kane — where is she? — That ' s fine; I knew she had been teaching there, but I didn ' t know she had been made president of the college. Her own Commencement will claim her. I reckon. Do you suppose Annie Johnson will be able to come? — I hope so, too, but she ' s such a meek little wife that she never thinks of doing anything that will inconvenience her lord and master. — Yes, there are a good many whose husbands will have to keep bach- elors ' quarters while their better halves go back to their Alma Mater for a few days. There ' s Christine Reaves, who was such a man-hater and then turned out to be the class bride; and Emmie Brown, who married a professor at the University of North Carolina. Emily Smith ' s and Margaret Omohun- dro ' s husbands are both stationed at a fort in Texas, and Juliet Coffman is keeping house in a vine-covered cottage. — No, I hadn ' t heard that. Why. who ' d ever expect Sis Lifsey to marry a preacher! Imagine her running mission bands and the Ladies ' Aid Society! Lemma Snider married a country doctor, you know, and — Xo. I don ' t know where Laura Henley is now. She ' d been married three times when I last heard. Why. yes, Helen Acton and Catherine Hinton ought to be able to join our happy throng — they ' re both doing the society stunt in Washington this year. Oh! did you hear about the man Beulah Crigler married? He is a Philadelphia man with a great deal of money, and Beulah uses her check book with marvelous results; she sent Mr. Burruss a big sum with which to buy bicycles for all the girls. She stipulated that Mae Hoover should be the teacher of riding, and that they should all spin down the pike at least two miles every day. — What? Yes. I did hear that Dorothy Williams had gone on a con- cert tour, with Grace Fisher as her accompanist, and that they are winning laurels for themselves. Ella Peck is singing exclusively for the Yictrola now, you know. Oh, speaking of music. Etta MacDonald is teaching public school music in the Richmond schools. — Yes, she really is — as much as she used to hate it. Congress is in session now; so Dorothy Spooner won ' t be able to come. —Yes. I know Madge Bryan is mighty busy with her Women ' s Clubs, but she ' ll surely get there. Just now she is staging a big charity pageant, but I don ' t think anything would keep her away from a class reunion. Did you know that Rachel Speas is running a farm down in North Carolina? — She has raised bumper crops, and taken sheaves of blue ribbons at all the fairs with her pigs. And Kathryn Loose is in Wyoming, ranching on a large scale. If her ranchmen don ' t handle the steers to suit her, she gets a lasso and shows ' em how. — No, I hadn ' t heard about Katherine McClung ' s chicken farm — I ' m glad it ' s doing so well. You knew about Pauline Lay- man ' s venture, didn ' t you? — Why, she opened a tea room on Fifth Avenue. She calls it The Sign of the Blue Teapot, and is making a big success of it. I saw so many of the girls of our class when I was in New York not long ago. Rebecca Goldman has a kindergarten for millionaires ' children, and her system is becoming more popular than that of Montessori. — What? Oh yes, I saw Polly Miley. She is starring in Belasco ' s latest play. She ' s fine, too. There was a big suffrage parade while I was there, and who do you think was leading it? — Mamie Eppes and Mattie Gregory, side by side! I was watching it from the doorway of a very attractive gift shop, where you buy all sorts of lovely embroideries and handwork, when I noticed the name on the window. Going inside, I found that Banie Walden was the proprietor, and does most of the fine work herself. She told me about sev- eral of the other girls, too. She said that Loulie Kellam and Marguerite Whitney have opened a fashionable establishment on the Avenue; they go by the name of The Slender Sisters, and guarantee to reduce waist-lines and remove hips. They are their own advertisements. Next door to them, she told me, Annie Lee Crawford and Katherine Broughton have a beauty shop. Although they have a flourishing trade, they can ' t bestow their own rose-leaf complexions upon their patrons. — Oh, didn ' t I tell you about Gretchen Bell? She ' s the crack detec- tive of America ' s Scotland Yard. What she can ' t find out isn ' t worth knowing, and she never fails to corner her man. Carrie Bishop and Mil- dred Kidd are on the force too. Carrie is a stern policewoman whose eagle eye quells all evel-doers; and when anything suspicious is going on, Mildred ' s motto is an echo of the Senior Circus. I hear Willie Guthrie is matron of a boys ' school, and that they all think she ' s fine. — Who ' s that? — Oh, Catherine Furr. Why, Cat Furr is a regular coun- try gentleman. She raises pedigreed dogs and race horses, and is never hap- pier than when riding to hounds. She tells me that Mary Garden is State demonstrator in the Canning Club work. And have you heard about Mary Seebert ' s institution? She and her brother have a private sanatorium in the Catskills; he is the physician in charge, and she is the dietitian. — Yes, 1 knew Mary Jcnes was nursing at Johns Hopkins. They call her the Angel of the Wards. — No, Martha Ffauch did enter training, but a dashing young marine officer made her reconsider it. — Yes, it was quite romantic. But tell me, did Grace Gaw accept that big offer Vogue made her for the monopoly of her drawings? — I certainly am glad of it. Several others have rushed into print, too, you know. — Who? — Why, Flossie Grant has just published two volumes on Sunday School Methods and the Increased Efficiency of the Sunday-School. And Mildred Hcshour found that people had so much difficulty in pronouncing her name that it inspired her to write a self-pronouncing dictionary. Miss Cleveland says it is invaluable, and Miss Bell says the library can ' t get along without it. — Who? — Oh, Nell Critzer is Senior Secretary of the National Board of the Young Women ' s Christian Association. ' But there were two more girls in New York that I didn ' t tell you about; Elizabeth Rubush is head of a department in one of the big stores. She orders those clerks and floorwalkers around, and her word is law. But whom do you think I met on the East Side, doing settlement work? — You ' d never guess. — Nell Acree! Goodness, Helena, we ' ve been gossiping for hours, and I have to go to market; but if our plans turn out well, we ' ll all stand around on May Pole Hill again this June and give fifteen RAH ' S for the Class of 1918! — Goodby.

Said a Junior, Who are they? High School girls? Senior: Mercy, no! They must be Freshmen; but aren ' t they chldish? Just wait till the Censorship Board gets after those skirts! They were Freshmen, and when the President of the Student Body called a meeting of Freshmen a few days later, our hopes went high. We are going to be a Class! But once at the meeting, we felt much smaller, for there were — a roomful? No, only eight. At the next meeting our number had swelled to eleven, but here it ceased to grow. We elected class officers and were launched on our career at H. N. S. How- important it was to say, We are sisters to the Juniors! And didn ' t we yell at all the games! What difference did it make if tine girls did say we were a family tagging after our mother, the President, or if all our meetings were held in the Lobby by special notice? Every one of us can remember the fear of being called down by the Monitor. How we held our breath when there came a light tap on the door, and — it was another Freshie. Gradually we got over the newness and settled down to sleeping, eating, and going to classes by bells. But oh — the awful ordeal of first exams! However, we passed. Christmas was over all too soon, and we came back. We were now Old Girls. The next two quarters passed very uneventfully until May 1. That was excitement. It took the whole class to make a May basket, hang it on the door of our Honorary Member, and slip away unseen. By Commencement we were in such a whirl that we did not recover ourselves until Good-bv had been said. Then we had a small pang at leaving H. N. S. and the Freshman class. September 27, 1917, saw our return as Sophomores. There were only four of the old class, but the number had increased to twenty-four. We, as a class, were re- garded less lightly by the school and were sisters to the Seniors. We soon settled down to the old regime of work. Nothing was new but the new girls. Christmas came with a rush, and after a short visit with our parents we were again at school. Soon we began to grow interested in the Senior Circus, and days flew. By the time of the Soph Colonial Ball our class was almost annihilated by — the Germans? Never! Eight were laid low with the measles. We recovered, hut our feelings were injured, as children have it. The next big event was the week of the Junior-Senior ball game. Shall we ever forget that? May Day soon came, and we gathered flowers for many May baskets. Did any- one see some Sophs sneaking down town long before 6 a. in. carrying a May basket? This Commencement found us a loyal band that had climbed from green Freshits to where we were ready to step over into Juniordom. As we stood at the station we had a dim vision of our next two years at H. N. S.. and we resolved to follow our motto : 1 hough the roads arc rugged, we climb.

Oh, disappointment! Can it be These are my roommate ' s? None for me? Reluctantly I put them back. Anticipation now has turned To disappointment, blank and bare. My quickened step is lagging now As through the crowd I make my way. Not one for me. No meager card From home that I may call my own. Around me others read with glee; Each one of them has mail but me. For what is life here without mail? A letter brightens all the day. And yet tomorrow comes full soon, And twice from town the mail-man comes. It may be he will bring for me Within his treasure-laden bag A letter. Dare I hope for two? Live, hope, till mail time comes again; I may receive a missive then.

The Notebook FOR THE GOOD OF THE PUBLIC Vol. II Harrisonburg, Virginia, Now and Then No. 1 The Senior Circus This way to the big animal show! This way to the baby show! Pea- nuts! together with a hum of laughter greeted you as you entered the Great Senior Circus. Tents were everywhere. Winding in and out of the crowd were weird-look- ing creatures with heads half the size of their bodies and arms twice as long as- they ought to be, coming out from their • knees. Here was the animal show; there, the marvelous diving twins; and further on the fortune telling booth, whither flocked many shy maids eager to know their future. And now a great uproar turned your attention to the baby show. This was a great attraction and was continually surrounded by interested spectators. There were all sorts of ba- bies — even colored twins, who by their bright sayings caused much laughter. In one tent was a superhuman being, a freak of nature whose feet were where its head ought to be. There were other amusements of equal worth, but too nu- merous to mention. Finally a place was cleared and the baby prizes were awarded by one of the judges. It was with great pride that the mothers of the babies came forward to receive these. The first prize was awarded Baby No. 1, a pretty blue-eyed ..infant, who by her winsome smile won all to her; the second. prize was carried off by the colored twins, already men- tioned; and the third prize went to Baby No. 2. A marvelous feat was then performed by a pretty and graceful girl — bareback riding on a white horse without a head. She was followed by the human flea who could not only hop, but could walk on his hind legs. Awe-struck, the spec- tators watched him climb the wall while his trainer spurred him on. Another attraction was the tight rope walker, a beautiful girl dressed in fluf- fy ruffles, who balanced herself with a parasol. She was worthy of note, for it made no difference to her if it were a tight rope or a loose one. Greeted with applause, the clowns now made their appearance. They were a great success, as clowns usually are, and did their stunts with great ability, to the delight of their spectators. Too much cannot be said of the negro comedians who followed. By their witty jokes and clever acting they led their spectators from one peal of laughter to another. They were so highly appre- ciated that they were applauded again and again. ' And now a hush fell on the audience as the Great Senior Orchestra was an- nounced. It consisted of about twenty pretty maidens, each of whom was beau- tifully attired in a particular style all her own. These young ladies were not only vocal geniuses, but could perform with great ability and artistic tempera- ment on combs. Among their selections was a dramatic duet, with chorus — Ro- meo and Juliet. Romeo entered and in his deep bass voice, accompanied by Juliet ' s soprano, sang — sang with such expression of feeling that the strains com- pelled even the singers to tears. As the chorus joined in with deep feeling, they too, must needs cry. Juliet ' s voice may be described as superb. Her overtone and technique were of such fineness of quality that her listeners were amazed, Other selections were rendered with equal success. And thus the Senior Circus was brought to a close. Food Conversation Only aviators and birds will be able to use sugar before long. Grains of coffee will soon be as rare as grains of sense. Every dog has his day — Mr. Corn- meal is seen in far more places than Miss Flour at the present time. People of fashion eat only war bread now. Molasses will travel lots further than sugar. G. G. Health Notes A PEARL FOR A PILL It was a tiny headache pill that she laid on the pin tray for a few minutes. How could she guess that her roommate would drop a pearl from her ear-ring, pick it up, and lay it on that same tray? But she did. And the patient swallowed the pearl instead of the pill. She has since assumed Cleopatra-like airs, and her friends carefully conceal their jewels before retiring. INFALLIBLE REMEDY For big head take one general infor- mation quiz. CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE Please tell me where in the library I can find something on nervous indiges- tion ! Miss Bell gave it to me in Physi- ology Class Friday, and it is about to worry me to death. STRICT DIET What did you have for breakfast? Elizabeth Black: ' A fall on the con- crete steps just as the last bell rang. THE HEART OF A FRIEND In the heart of my friend I find sweet rest When I am lonely, tired, and blue; All the cares of the world on her heart I lay; Where else can I find repose so true? I vex her most, though I love her most; The reason why I can not tell — Perhaps because she ' ll understand, Because between us all is well. Give me one friend — just one — who meets The needs of all my varying moods, Be we in noisy city streets Or in calm nature ' s solitudes. Mary Garden. THE NOTEBOOK SOCIETY NEWS Miss Pierce has a date. For the nineteenth time today Miss Helen Hopkins had a phone call from McGaheysville. Miss Derflinger fell down and in- jured, not herself, but her practice teaching clothes. Some of the girls were late coming back after the Easter holidays. Things were not so pleasant as they might have been, to put it mildly. Dr. Sanger advised everybody to smile. The occupants of 51 Ashby, spent their Easter holidays in an unheard-of way; they cleaned up thoroughly, washed the base boards, dusted under the bureau cover, etc. Would that Room 50 would have such a seizure! Miss Seeger and Henry Happer had several differences of opinion this year. Dorothy disagreed with him too. The Stratfords gave Breezy Point, and it was one of the best amateur perform- ances ever given here. Oh, Ashrael ! Wanted to Know How a gentle Kidd and a raging Lyon can be kept in Ashby Hall so peaceably. Something Mr. Little doesn ' t know how to do. When Helen Tatem will stop saying Sh-h-h. Whether Mae Hoover is engaged. Why is Annie Brown, Elizabeth Black, and Marcia White. Why Mr. Devier likes Strasburg. Whether Virginia is in the North or the South Frigid Zone Why Miss Lancaster likes a Beard bet- ter than a mustache. Ellen Fuller The Elsie Herndon Kearns Players Give ROMEO AND JULIET THE BLUESTOCKINGS THE TEMPEST ELSIE HERNDON KEARNS! On Thursday afternoon, May 9, the little old train that puffs around behind Ashbv switched off a big business-like baggage car on our siding, and the word went rapturously around that THE GREAT PLAYERS HAD COME. Sher- lock himself couldn ' t have done any bet- ter deducing, and the next day things be- gan to look vejy mysterious behind Science Hall. To rain, or not to rain — that was the question. The weather man was mag- nanimous, however, and we had the great pleasure of seeing Romeo and Juliet played out in the soft spring night, with unusually good lighting effects. The act- ing was fine, and not a bit overdone, a thing which might easily have happened in such an extravagantly young play as that is. We liked especially Mercutio and the Friar, and of course the lovers themselves were all that could be desired. I George Somnes The Bluestockings The Saturday matinee was an adapta- tion of Moliere ' s play, Les Femmes Sa- vantes, and was very funny. Romeo of the night before played Trissotin, am looked the part exactly in his golden curlj and pink silk ribbons. The old fathe; Chrysale, was just as we knew he wouli be, and so was his bossy wife, Phila- minte. If the men could wear those lovely clothes today they might be as good ' looking as Clitandre, and then we ' d a be Henriettes, and Armande and phi osophy would have a lonesome time of The Tempest Saturday evening it clouded up; it thundered ; it sprinkled — nay, it pourei Many were the impromptu prayer me ings held, especially in the receptii room of Ashby, with Susie officiating. Bui it soon stopped, and cheerfully trustini we took newspapers, pillows, comfort ables, raincoats, and umbrellas out to ow precious open-air theatre, and were 9001 deep in the magic of Prospero, Ariel, am Caliban. Caliban caused all the telfl der maidens to shudder and grow sick at heart ; he was simply fine. But oh! patter, patter, came the rain on our in- secure fortifications, and so we took our foot in our hand and all moved, to the auditorium, and there the last act was given. The acting had to be very good to make up for the lack of scenery and lights, but it was excellent, and satisfied our fancies. i ' V y B Ji hi- OUR IDEA OF THE IDEAL iHisB J affirmation Adopted Daughter of General Information Luther Burbank; An American naturalist who has produced an onion with the odor of violets.

Here it is, Royal Glue — that ought to fix him. Why is his breathing becoming so labored and his utterance so thick? Oh! he ' s getting the lock-jaw! W T hy is he so stuck- up about it? CATHERINE HINTON and MARY GARDEN Mary, how are you going to fix your hair to-night? I think I shall curl mine. How are you going to curl it? You ' re as bald as Helena Marsh! Go look at yourself. . Horrors! My hair is coming out in handfuls! And so is yours, Mary! They shriek in unison, and awake gasping, having sent their respective halls into terrified hysterics. ulbr flrartiHe linitse The Practise House is one of the newest points of interest at our school this year. In this house, next to the campus, Mrs. Moody and Jim are fixtures; and the Household Arts Seniors, in groups of six, live there for a quarter at a time, and practise what they teach. We do everything except tend the furnace; and the work is divided into six positions, each of which is held a week at a time. One progresses from second maid to first maid, and then to dishwasher. Next she is assistant cook, head cook, and last of all, housekeeper. After having served there, she starts at the bottom and climbs again. The house is run on a budget which allows ten cents a meal for each person. As we do all our own work, and do not have to pay for labor, the whole amount can go for food; hence it is possible to have all sorts of good things to eat. We use the library for a sitting room; so the big reception hall, which runs the entire width of the house, has been left unfurnished. This has a hardwood floor — which the first maid must keep spotless and shining — and Jim Moody has a Victrola. The dishwasher puts on a record so she can work better; the maid puts in a new needle to sharpen her eyes for all the dusty corners; and the cook gives the handle an extra turn so the kettle will boil faster. And in between times, where two or three girls are gathered together, there you will find them dancing. It ' s true that one has to roll out in the cold gray dawn when one is assistant cook, and must get breakfast at seven o ' clock; it can not be denied that the dishwasher must scrub the kitchen on Saturday; but we of the Prac- tise House would not change places with the girls in the Dormitory, neverthe- less. (§nv l oa?B When last the roses were in bloom, You sat beside me in the gloom; And then our day-dreams, tender, sweet, The flowers ' fragrance came to greet. This year again the roses bloom, And I sit lonely in the gloom, For only memories, tender, sweet, The flowers ' fragrance comes to greet. But yet, if roses still will bloom, My heart shall come from out the gloom, For now to others, sur.e and fleet I ' ll take the flowers ' fragrance sweet. Helena Marsh Marie ' s mood was far from matching the gay knitting bag which she swung petulantly as she walked along the shady street. Making handages and knitting sweaters is all very well, she thought im- patiently, but it ' s so impersonal. The sentence sounded well; so she repeated it to herself again. Now, here ' s this sweater I ' ve nearly finished — she swung her bag truculently — it will be sent off to one of the camps with a dozen others, and the soldier who gets it will never know who knit it. He might even think it was some sour old maid, when it ' s really a girl with raven black hair. But then, I ' m glad it is raven black, instead of just plain brown, like Mary Wiggins ' s. Hair that color is bad enough, without having such an unromantic name. Here she stopped and picked up a letter, stamped and addressed, lying on the side- walk. ' ' Somebody has lost a letter they were going to mail, she said, with charming abandon in the mafer of pronouns. I ' ll put it in the box for them. But just then the address caught her eye, and she read it all : Mr. Bob Harding, Aviation Mobilization Department, Camp Sevier, South Carolina. Bob Harding! What a short, crisp name it was; and he was an aviator too. Marie thought how a man named Bob Harding would look in an aviator ' s uniform. He would be big and broad shouldered, and not less than six feet. Just then an idea struck her. I ' ll send him this sweater! she thought. And I ' ll write him telling him how I happened to send it to him. Deep in composing the letter which was to accompany the sweater, she hurried home to write it that afternoon. He won ' t notice the dropped stitches, was her thought, as she folded the big olive drab garment. He ' ll be glad to get a nice warm sweater to wear when he ' s flying. When the package was wrapped up and the address copied carefully from the let- ter, she selected a sheet of her best blue note-paper, and began: Hear Mr. Harding — She wished she might begin it Dear Bob. I was won- ' ering who to send this sweater I was making to, when I found a letter ad- dressed to vou on the street. So I am mailing you ' he letter, and also the sweater. Because I would rather send it to some one than have it go with a lot of others. 1 know you must enjoy going up in a flying machine. I have always wanted to go up in one. I think you are very noble to answer your country ' s call. Hoping you will like the sweater, Your sincere friend, Marie Ellis -:■:- NE Later in the week the postman left a letter for Marie, addressed in a firm, mas- culine hand. It ' s from Bob! she almost screamed, as she eagerly tore it open and read: My dear Miss Ellis: I thank you very much for the sweater, which I received yesterday. It was very kind of you, also, to mail the letter which my wife dropped on the way to the postottice. Sincerely, Robert Harding Margaret L. Webb M %ljJH The tide comes in and the tide goes out; The days go by and are past; But we never forget our soldier boys, Nor the hour we saw them last. The thought of them and their sacrifice, Makes of us brave women and true; Our hearts grow warm when they might have grown cold, We begin with zest anew To do some deed that will lighten their load And make it easier to bear, For it helps them to fight with better heart When they know that we really care.

We were going to have visitors; and said visitors were to be all the boys from A. M. A., in full dress uniform, with big, white X ' s on their backs, indicating that they were the unknown quantity. They marched up, band playing, horses prancing, officers importantly shouting commands in cipher, some cadets very red and aware that we were peeking at them from behind the pillars of the porches. They filed up into the mess hall, and we, on the campus, patiently yelled and sang to them while they ate. After dinner was over, they marched out without a word — just to show us they could — but soon were officially introduced, and broke ranks. Many of them had friends among our crowd, and there was a grand pow-wow. The chin straps are perfect disguises, and they know it very well, so had a lot of fun confusing us. Oh, yes, we marched in the parade. Keeping time to their band was easy, and we caught the military spirit and held up our necks haughtily. The town clock almost stopped when the crowd assembled around Court Square: it wondered if H. N. S. had suddenly turned co-ed. It held up its hands before its face and said, In my time — But we had to move on, and couldn ' t hear the reminiscence. After the parade the boys showed us some very pretty maneuvering, and the mutual admiration continued, culminating in the little impromptu supper parties held out at school between five and six. Two boys at Table 24 made the biggest hit of the day. We did our part for the Third Liberty Loan parade, and made friends with one of our neighbors; so the day stands out as a happy one in our mem- ory Umph-ya-ya ! Umph-ya-ya ! A. M. A. Umph-ya-ya!

Mae Hoover uUim (CriHtH ' We ' ll be there in the morning, Dorothy. Pierre de Fontenac spoke lightly to the girl beside him — perhaps to cover the loving tenderness that would creep into his voice whenever his eyes rested on her slender figure, clad now in the uniform of a Red Cross nurse. When he had told her that he must answer his country ' s call, his brave little fiancee had given up her position in a big New York hospital, joined the Red Cross, and sailed with him for his beloved France. Yes; and it ' s half-past eleven; so we had better go in. Time for would-be strong people to be in bed. Wait a little longer, dear, he said persuasively; the clouds are so lovely to-night. The calm beauty of the night seemed to taboo speech, and Dorothy idly watched the stars and the clouds moving slowly across the sky. Suddenly she noticed a small one scudding swiftly in and out. Look, dear, isn ' t that odd? There ' s one little cloud just racing along, although there doesn ' t seem to be any wind. Pierre looked at it, and then gripped her hand till it hurt. I ' m afraid it ' s not a cloud, he said in a low tone. Come, let ' s get the Captain. They hurried to his cabin, and Pierre knocked hastily at his door. The Captain appeared, genial and pleasant at sight of the great author and the lovely girl. Yes, what is it? he asked, smiling. Come on deck at once, please. We ' ve something to show you. He leaned over and whispered a word to the Captain. The latter started, brush- ed past them, and rushed to the deck. There he scanned the sky carefully. Suddenly the darting shadow ap- peared again, much nearer. He looked at it intently, then turned to Pierre and Dorothy Fairfax with a set face. An aeroplane — he spoke very quickly. It flies heavily — bombs on it. I think. God help us. Dorothy, realizing the terrible import of the Captain ' s words, clung to Pierre, whose mouth was set in a tense line. Go and tell the women to be ready to go in the boats. And dress warmly yourself. I ' ll get you into the first one. Dorothy started to speak, changed her mind, and hurried off. Two minutes later she returned, warmly hooded and cloaked. Seamen were busy at the davits, rigging the boats. Looking upward, she saw the deadly blot on the clear sky. She could distinguish the shape now — it was a biplane, and flew with a lurching motion. Around her, people were gathering, pale and terror-stricken, watching it too. A woman cried excitedly. Oh, it ' s like a vulture! Her high unnatural tones carried over the deck, and the crowd involuntarily drew closer, shuddering. Pierre grasped Dorothy ' s arm and started to speak, but was interrupted by the shouts of the sailors, This boat ' s ready; come on; women and children first! The crowd pressed forward, and the women began to get in. Pierre started toward it. You ' re to go in this one, dearest, he said. Dorothy Fairfax did not move. I ' m going to stay with you, she said quietly. Come, Dorothy, don ' t delay matters. No; I mean it. I will not go. Pierre pleaded, urged, even commanded, desperately. Lower away! No more room in this boat, called the sailors. The donkey engine whirred, and the boat disappeared over the side of the ship. Another engine whirred — it was the aeroplane, which was circling over the tense crowd. Then a rain of big black objects shot through the air be- side the deck. Some struck below the water line, others on the deck; there were deafening explosions; the ship listed to one side slowly. Dorothy lost her balance. Pierre caught her in his arms. Dorothy, he said brokenly, we love each other. She clung to him silently. And there on the slanting deck of the sinking ship, the stars saw a man and woman in whose rapt faces was a joy that made them deaf to the tragedy around them. The ship plunged downward; the water swirled; and struggling bodies clung to wreckage — for a little while. Far to the east, a small cloud scudded swiftly in and out above the vast, empty sea, though there was no wind. Helena Marsh. Aakutg te Agatha ( A True Story ) Jerry and Agatha had quite made up their minds. In fact, Jerry de- cided first, and had finally persuaded Agatha to agree with him — they were going to be married. The only thing that remained to be done was to bring Mr. Cameron to their point of view. When that was done, that little affair with a ring and a minister would not take long. But what ' s the use of asking him, sweetheart? Jerry argued. He knows I don ' t come here every night just to hear the door bell ring. Because if you don ' t ask him, he can ' t say T do ' when the minister says, ' Who giveth this woman to be married — ' Jerry, don ' t be silly. I ' m not silly; I was just admiring your dimple, and that shows my good taste. But since you say it must be done, I reckon I ' m the one to do it. But when shall I see him? The discussion would wander off and get lost in long silences, but they finally decided it would be best for Jerry to call on Mr. Cameron the next evening, when Agatha would be out. Jerry walked up the steps and pushed the electric button. He did like to hear that bell ring, but this thing was all bosh. Mr. Cameron knew what he was coming for. He would go to the point, say what he had to say, and go home. Was it customary to shake hands with your prospective father-in- law on leaving him? Did you thank him for giving you his daughter or — but the door was being opened. It was Mr. Cameron himself, in his slippers and smoking-jacket. When he saw who it was, his eyes twinkled, but he frowned a little ' — after all, Agatha was his only daughter. Come in, he said; Agatha is at some sort of Red Cross meeting, but she ' ll be back soon. As he led the way into the library, Jerry started to tell him that she would not be home for more than an hour yet. But Mr. Cameron was a crusty old gentleman, and he thought he had better go straight to the point. He took a chair in front of the fire, and they talked of the war. Con- versation lagged. Jerry started a discussion of local politics. Again the talk died down. The high cost of living was thrashed out, including its causes and reme- dies, but that, too, fell into strained silence. Jerry would say what he had to say. He picked up the poker and punched the glowing coals in the grate. Mr. Cameron got up and began pacing the floor. Jerry inserted the poker still further into the bed of coals, producing a miniature crater that burst into flames. Mr. Cameron thrust his hands into his pockets, humped his shoulders, and paced harder than ever, while Jerry made two more blazing volcanoes in the grate. Look here! Mr. Cameron exploded. Jerry looked, while he rushed on, I don ' t mind your taking dinner at my house every Sunday. You can come to see my daughter every night — you can marry my daughter if you want to, but I ' ll be hanged if you or any other man can poke my fire! Margaret L. Webf iufmhols Before me in the fire ' s glow Are many pictures; quick and slow They leap in clear translucent lights. The blazing red is war ' s dread hand; The lambent gold, truth ' s high demand; The smoking embers, ruin ' s trail. The ashes grey tell of the dead; Those who were loved have fought and bled; Go thou and help, O Soldier Mine! For in the fire ' s dying glow A clear, blue flame burns, steady, slow. Stronger than all — my love for you. The blue flame burns on hot and clear. Though in my heart there dwells a fear — May God preserve you, Soldier Mine! mrfftntgB November 11, 1916 Miss Lois Noble Sterling to Mr. Thomas Brown Robertson, Virginia Beach, Virginia.

The Faculty as we ISLS ,THE SILEWCe IS O PP fESSl ve I hould Like to See Them nuts. Mr. L.: What is a kid? G. P. : A young dear. Madge: We have chocolate sundaes today — all that ' s lacking is the Nell: No; the nuts are all around the tables. Little Boy (staring at Miss Bell ' s treasured silhouette of her grand- father): Was your gran ' pa a black man? New Girl ( in all seriousness ) : You see, I was never fed on calories before; and I think they are too rich for me. Some one asked Elizabeth Murphy if she ever expected to reach her ideal. ' No, said she; my ideal is across the sea. ' Student: Dr. Wayland, are you in favor of co-ed. schools? Dr. W.: Well, I used to favor them, but lately I ' ve changed my mind. Student: Why? Did you ever go to a co-ed. school? Dr. W.: Yes; I got my wife in one. Freida: If I cut breakfast between quarters, upon which quarter will it count? First Math. 57 Student: What was Miss Lancaster doing up in the mountains last summer? Second Math. 57 Student: Oh, she was teaching the little moun- taineers t o measure moonshine. Agnes Stribling has taken the third degree: first, normal girl; second, faculty member; third, faculty wife. Helena (at Ott ' s): Have you a chocolate nut sundae? Clerk: No; no nuts today. Helena: Any chocolate cream, then? Clerk: No; not today. Helena (desperately): Then give me some Colgate ' s Dental Cream. If Nell Critz-er lot, will Miss Lan-cast-er arms around her? Grace (peevishly): If ycu want me to pass you the salt, say Grace. Margaret — as Mr. Hodges, of race-problem fame, entered the dining- room: Here ' s that nigger man again. Miss Hoffman: Read silently for five minutes and then tell me what you ' ve read. Maxwell: I can ' t read, Miss Hoffman; I ' m so hoarse. Apropos of measles: Most people here had it, but Audrey had them. Elizabeth: I like patriotism, but I don ' t see why they have to put so much soda in it. Annie D. ( over the telephone ) : Please come up to Dr. Sanger ' s office quick; the radiator ' s running all over the floor. First Junior: What training camp is in Georgia? Second Junior: x nniston, Alabama. Funny how Anniston does prey upon some girls ' minds. Mrs. McMichael: You should have one-hundred thread for that fine work. H. A. Girl: I didn ' t have one-hundred; so I just doubled fifty. First Senior: What have vou been doing? Second Senior: Been writing my essay. First Senior: What are you writing about? Second Senior: I haven ' t decided what I ' m going to call it yet. Mary: Were you in chapel yesterday? Louise: No; why? Mary: Mr. Burruss said he saw a girl knitting a pink sweater, and that it wasn ' t patriotic. Louise: My! I ' m glad mine is blue. What ' s the difference between Saunders and Sanders? About a hundred and fifty pounds. From a pupil ' s Red Cross composition: At the front an American Red Cross ambulance could be seen getting wounded. Dotty (at supper): Oh, are all the little rolls gone? Virginia: Yes, but here comes the little Roller. M. Kidd: I am not getting along very well in my practise teaching. E. McDonald: No wonder; those children down there don ' t want any kid teaching them. When the girls went to see Twin Beds, they found the ticket-office blocked by the ladies of the faculty. The latter reported a very pleasant evening — and daybreak. The morning after the Northern lights appeared: Did you see the up- roar boracic acid? When orating as Mark Antony in English 64, a poverty-stricken Senior held up a much-worn outer-garment and feelingly announced: You all do know this mantle. At the practise house the pipes were making the water muddy. Cath- erine Furr to Mary Garden: Huh, you ' d better take a whisk-broom along to dust yourself off. Math. 57 Student: What is the hippopotamus of a right triangle? In a box sent to a French soldier, Mr. Burruss suggested putting some chewing gum. Mirabile dictu! No doubt he wants to export it all. Absent-Minded Knitter: I always have a stitch more than I count. Mary Jones ( chewing her pencil ) : Tell me another social movement. Ruth Witt: Dancing. Despairing Economist: I ' clah, if you ' d run a cleanin ' machine over this dress, it would devour the whole thing. Sunday School Teacher: Do you know what a flood is? Small Boy (not given to exaggerating): Ye-e-s, it ' s a mud puddle. Madge ( in Senior meeting ) : Dr. Sanger sent us word that Julian Doug- lass had arrived on a little white card. Nell Acree ( to her children at the training school ) : Sit up and pay attention! And Miss Gregg opened her eyes, closed her mouth, and lent her hearty cooperation. You can tell the kind of wheels in a man ' s head by the spokes that come out of his mouth. Esther returned from a visit to Dr. Miller in a bubbly mood and showed herself so sparkling that the table marveled. She explained: Oh, Dr. Mil- ler always sets me up. (Baptist Sunday School teacher. Milk shake?) Annie D.: Don ' t mess ' em up so the next feller that comes along can ' t find his. There will be a meeting of the Red Cross Artillery after dinner, read Miss L., solemnly. Maud said a wisdom. I just happened to think. Too true. Junior: Next week postage is going up. Freshman: Oh, well, I don ' t care. I ' ll buy me a lot of stamps while they are cheap. Joke Editor of The Schoolma ' am: I declare, I don ' t believe these jokes are good at all. Here you ' ve read ' em every one and haven ' t smiled a grin. § ntu?r Btmturjg Nell Acree Y. V. C.
