D. c Page Tu ' eiity-lhree Miss Ella Claire Weimar Miss Ella Claire Weimar was burn ill Fauquier County, Virginia. At an early age she lost her parents and she and her sister were carefullx reared i)v their grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Dempsey Padgett, at their home, (ireen View, in I ' auquier Cmmly, N ' irginia. Thus her early lite was spent in the countrw and she ever re- tained her love for nature ;uid all (jI its beauties. Miss Weimar ' s hrst school clays w ere spent in a private school in War- renton, Virginia. This school was taught by a lady from Connecticut who was evidently a very unusual woman and one who offered advan- tages of scholarship and culture to the oung girls of that community not usually available in our .Southern towns at that date. Later Miss Weimar studied at Mt. Washington, a school near I ' .altimore, Mar laiid. Her early teaching was in Winchester, Virginia, and there the three (irah.-mi brothers, who became distinguished Presbyterian ministers, v ere among iier students. Miss Weimar permitted no opportunity- for the acquisition of knowl- edge to pass her by, and while teaching in Winchester, she studied Latin, Greek, and Mathematics under Dr. Nelson, who later became Professor of Mathematics at the I ' niversitv of irginia. From Winchester she came to Augusta Female Seminarv, now Mary Daldwin College, and here she taught History and English and at the same time pursued some courses of study. From 1883 to 1888 we find Miss Weimar in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, teaching History and assisting in executive work. From Tuscaloosa she was called to the University of Arkansas, and from there in 1889 she was invited back to Augusta Female Seminary to assist Miss Mary Julia P.aldwin, the Princi])al, whose health was not good at that time. Mr. Waddell, in the History of Mary Baldn nn Seminary, says: In 1889 Miss P ald- win, finding the need of an Assistant Principal, obtained the services of Miss Ella C. Weimar, who continued to perform the duties of the office most efficiently dur- ing Miss Baldwin ' s life. These were trying years for the school, m Miss Weimar was always energetic and fearless in the discharge of her luty. After Miss Baldwin ' s death. Miss Weimar was elected Principal fro Icm. At a meeting (jf the Board of Trustees held January 25, 1898, the Chairman spoke in terms of high praise nt the administration of Miss Weimar and Mr. King. At a meeting of the Board July 1. 1X98, Miss Weimar was nominated for the office of |)rincip;d :nid the r ill being called ;is un;niiniously elected to select teachers ;nid Page Twenty-four :G tfi have general control oi the school, and Mr. King was elected liusiness Man- ager. Following Mr. Waddell ' s history to 1905, at which date these annals close, we find constant reference to Miss Weimar ' s successful management, but there are things in the life of a F ' rincipal of a boarding school which no historian can recount. Hers were long, weary days of hard work, continued activity, both mental and physical, and sleepless nights of anxiety, the constant reconciling of opposing elements, and the ever-pressing and earnest desire for the advance- ment of each individual student, and for the honored position of the school at large. Miss Weimar was most considerate of her teachers, and was ever readv to assist them, and would often at great sacrifice to her own personal comfort find ways to promote their interests. She continued in the office of Principal of Mary Baldwin Seminary until she resigned in January, 1916. Miss Marianna P. Hig- gins was elected by the Board of Trustees May 1, 1916, to succeed her. Following her position as assistant Principal from 1889 to 1897, Miss Weimar ' s administration as Principal of Mary Baldwin .Seminary continued from 1898 to 1916. The plant was enlarged, and many buildings erected during this period. The course of study was broadened and the organization strengthened. Just before she retired the Seminary was recognized by the Virginia State Board of Education as a Junior College. Her deep devotion to the .Seminary and to its success, her unfaltering loyalty to it. her ambition for the advancement of the school, her strict adherence to duty, her grim determination to abolish evil if it existed and to substitute good, her sincere scholarship, her ability as a leader, all combined to make her administration result in a marked development of the Semi- nary. Miss Weimar ' s interest in the old girls and her pride in their success and achievements and her distress at any failure of theirs continued to the end of her life. She was frecjuently heard to say, There is something different about the Mary Baldwin girls. After Miss Weimar retired, she returned to her own home, Green View, near Warrenton, Virginia, and there she lived quieth- until the end came December 28, 1926. She was the earnest student as well as teacher to the end. Some one who was close to her during her last years sa}s, I have known no one of her age so free from narrowness, so eager to grasp new ideas when beneficial and to apply them. She was keenly intere.sted in public afl airs with a progressive outlook on the rapidly changing history of the nations. She was particularly fond of History and Biography. Woodrow Wilson had no more earnest follower and admirer than Miss Weimar. She was a member of the Pres- byterian Church at Warrenton, Virginia, and she was always most conscientious in the discharge of all cliurch duties. When a complete Histor - of Mary Baldwin .Seminary is compiled, Miss Weimar ' s name will hold an honored place on the roll of those who have con- tributed so ];irgel - to the rich heritage of ] larv Baldwin College. — Makjanna p.

When she was eleven ears old her family moved to Staunton, where her father has been, since ' that lime the beloved pastor of the I ' lrst I ' resbyterian Church and is now Pres- ident of Mary Baldwin College. Three days after arriving in Staun- ton on March 13, 1893, Nora entered Augusta Female Seminary (now Mary Baldwin College) and remained there as a student imtil her graduation, in May. 1901. This was the fulfillment of ;i cherished dream of her parents, as the} ' had remarked before they even thought of moving to Staunton, that they would rather have their daugh- ter educated in this school than in any other of which they knew. After graduating, Nora spent an- other year here, specializing in Latin, and then taught for three years at the Chatham Episcopal Institute. She entered Cornell University in 190. , where in two years she received the A. B. degree, remaining one year longer for graduate worlv. It was here that she became a member of the Phi I ' eta Kappa Fraternity. In September. 19f)8. she accepted a position at Sweet Briar College, where she was, in reality, the head of the Patin Department for nine years. Then came a period of ill health which interrupted her work for almost two ears. When the Chair of History at Mary Baldwin Seminary was left vacant, in April. 1919. by the resignation of Aliss Martha Riddle slie was elected to fill this position, and continued to teach history here for more th;ni six years -until within three weeks of her death on January 4. 1927. .She was splendidly equipped as a teacher, and put her whole energy ;uid strength into her profession. Pieing exceedingl}- conscientious she was fair and impartial, and her pupils were always sure of her sympathy and encouragement, when the} ' had made an honest effort. She was devoted t(j her home, her friends. and her church, but her best effurts were gi en to Mar ' Baldwin, to which she was devotedl} ' Icjyal. She was a beautiful Christian character. Th(jugh frail in body she was strong in soul. Those who knew her best loved and admired her most for there was a quiet reserve and gentle dignity in her bearing, beyond which il was necessary to i enetrate in order to realize fully the pure gold of her life. There are problems and testings in all of our lives. Hers was no exce])tion. but she carried on valiantlx ' . and her bright smile lingers with us as , ' i very happy memorx ' . — Eli. K.N C. Bkow.N.

R., of Goucher, came to Alar_ - Ilaldwin Seminary in the fall of 1914 to take charge of the Collegiate His- tory and also to teach some classes in English. In 1916 she gave up the English classes and devoted her whole time to History and Psychology. She is a most versatile woman, and in 1923. when the Junior College was expanded into a Senior College, again Miss Latane ' s broad education and superior ability came into pla} ' , and she combined the teaching of Political Economy with History. In these various fields she was equally successful. In addition to her scholarly attainments as a distinguished teacher, she is a fine organizer, a good disciplinarian, and a consecrated Christian woman. She is fearless in standing for the right and always exerts a strong influence for the highest Christian stand- ards. Miss Latane has a keen sense of humor, and many a girl will call to mind Miss Latane ' s sudden flashes of wit and lnimi r. The girls will also remember lier (|uick sympathy, her ready understanding of difficulties, and her friendly eagerness to help them at all times. In March, 1926. on account of lier liealth, Aliss Latane re- signed her position as Head of The Histor_ - Department at Mary Baldwin College. To our disappointment Miss Latane has de- cided to take up e.xecutive work. Xuw we find her Principal of St. Margaret ' s School, Tappahannock, irgiiiia. We congratu- late the patrons and girls of .St. Margaret ' s, but we are sorry to lose Miss Latane. We are sending our loving wishes for her happiness and success. o Page Tltirty-tz ' O Dreamefs of V5re rhc ilrriiiiicrs urc llir saiinrs I ' f ihc world.

Kable, who in 1867 fnunded the Staunton Military Academy. She was a student at .Mar - lialdw in Seminary during ilie sessions 1897-1902, and her chaiMiiing personality, her high character, and brilliant scholar- shi]) made her an outstanding graduate. She was Editor-in- Chief of Tin-; I)Lri-:sTocKiNG in l ' (l2. and at the end of that ses- siun graduated with high honors from the Literarx ' Department. In lyO.T she married Colonel Thomas 11. Russell, a distin- guished professor in the Staunton Military Academy, who in 1920 succeeded her brother, Colonel V. G. Kable, as President of the Academy. Mrs. Russell has been Regent and Registrar of the ISeverley Manor Chapter, 1). A. R., President of the Augusta County Garden Club, and a gracious and able leader in the so- cial, civic, and religious life of Staunton. In May, 1926, she was elected President of the Mary Baldwin Alumnfe Association, and is fulfilling the duties of her office with rare efficiency and devotion. Pnc i ' Thirl y-six n= A Messade From Mrs. Russell HAT a sense of age ami responsiliility was mine when I last appeared on the pages of The PiLUESTOtKiM; ! And it meant so much, for then I was in the list of Sweet Girl Gradu- ates ! Tliat was in 1902, just twenty-five years ago, but now, in 1927, we find full fledged col- lege women leaving the halls of Mary Baldwin. I am proud of the fact that I was here in the days of the old Seminary and privileged to know and lionor such women as Miss Martha Riddle, Miss Strickler, and Miss Nannie Tate. And girls, I am proud of the fact that you have invited me here again today, for it is only as your representative that I have been asked and it is yimr Alumnfe Association for which I stand. Let me beg of you as you leave this institution with your superior privileges, that you make your Alumnx Association an organization worthy of your College : worthy of the ideals and traditions of the old .Seminary: fruitful and ambitious for the new College. We must rally to her support. We must show our loyalty by putting ourselves in the ranks of those who would serve her. I ask that you, the graduating class of 1927. who bear the seal of Mary Baldwin on your lives, carry her in our hearts and keep her there. Come back to her when you can. Keep in touch with her and serve her always. How else can you do this save through your Alumn;e Association? Have the joy of know- ing you have helped in every way you can to pass on the torch to those who come after. I,ift high the White and Yellow — may it float forever — and may ever - girl who has borne the name of Mary Baldwin belong to us — as we, the Alumn;e Association, be- lf)ng til her. — Mauc;aki-; ' I ' t K.- I!IJ-; Rl ' .s.sell.

Mrs. Montgomery studied Latin, English Composi- tion, Historx , French, and Phil- fe i . osophy at Mary Baldwin Semi- HS j nary from 1887-1891. After she ifl RHkr f l ' ' ' t Mary Baldwin until she niar- lUBBIP ried Mr. John Seymour Alont- gomery, of New York, in 1901, Mrs, Montgomery wrote prose articles and short stories for ni.igazines. Domesticity and the care of two children, John Sey- mour, Jr., and Roselle Mercier, jr. ( student at Mary Baldwin in 1919-1920) diverted her attention from writing until 1921. Then she began timidly the writing of verse for newspapers and maga- zines, including translations of Horace into English prose. Mrs. Montgomery won the first prize of the Poetry Society of America in 1923 with Ulysses Returns, and second prize of the same society in 1925, with To Helen, Middle-, h ed. Her first volume of verse, Ulysses Returns and Other Poems, several times listed among the best sellers of non-fiction, was [published by Brentano in 1925. At the commencement of Oglethrope Univer- sity, Georgia, in May 1927, Mrs. Montgomer}- received ihc honor- ary degree of Doctor of Letters.

Pnyc Forty A Message From Mrs. McMillin ,v?i ERHAPS vou would like to know what life F means to me. Six years ago the joy of living , was taken from me. but the Heavenly Father ■ who does all things well, left in me the joy of conflict. Of all the various kinds of work I do, m} ' greatest joy is in m work with my riible class, every Sunday morning. I would give up all m - activities before I would give up that one. That I am allowed to do what I can to instill the right ideas of life, the great ideals of life into young women, I consider a great blessing. I love them, and they love and trust me. To me the most glorious thing in life is activity for the right. The deepest reality of life is dutv : the divinest part of life, motherhood. Neither would I exchange the blessing of motherhood, the privilege of training my child, and of having her with me during her beautiful years on earth, the jo}- of having my home and my husband, for the great- est honor that could be bestowed on any human being in this great country of ours. I do not care to hold office ( strange as this may seem). As T showed a decided gift for acting I was given the finest dramatic training, both in New York and in Europe. I emphasize this fact, because development of my talent has meant more to me than I could well say. I have made thous- ands of dollars for charity by using my talent. Six years ago when I lost my only child. I turned to this gift, and through it have had as much work as I can possibh ' do, professionally And work is man ' s best friend. LrCILLK FOSTKK Ml MlLLI. .

Among the alumn;e scattered over many states in the Union, as well as in many foreign countries, are such women as the following. These are just a few (if tlic many who have led lives of service; to name all is hopeless in such limited space. Eugenia Bumgardner, ' 98, had a most interesting foreign service. In l ' )17 she went overseas as a medical secretary with U. S. base hospital No. 8; alter a ear she was transferred to chief surgeon ' s office at Tours; later she was con- nected with the American relief administration. In 1920, she went to Serbia with the American Red Cross, and later to Constantinople, where she visited the refugee camps. Her book, Undaunted Exiles, tells in a fascinating manner of the 200,000 Russian refugees. In 1922, General Peter Wrangel, commander-in-chief of The White Russian Armies who fought the Reds, bestowed on her the decoration of St. Stanislav. 1 ' Grade, For Merit. Tlie old Grand Duke Nicholas (uncle of the Czar of the Russian Armies) and the Grand Duchess in- vited her in 1925 to their villa to thank her personally for her book, and to receive and carry back thanks to .America for donations of money and clothing. ( .Some of the donations were given by Mary Baldwin students.) Anna Jarvis, ' 82, of Philadelphia, originated the idea of Mother ' s Day. Pauline Stewart-Crosley, ' 83, is author of Intimate Letters from Petroijrad. Passie Fenton McCabe Ottley, ' 84, has been very active in civic affairs. Fur twenty years she ' as chairman of the Georgia Library Commission; she was president of the I ' .oard of Trustees of Tallulali I ' alls ln lustrial School for moun- tain boys and girls when it expanded and .icciinuilated an endowment of $100,000; she was first Democratic Committee v(jman from Georgia ; Chairman of the ex- ecutive committee Woman ' s Board, Oglethrope University; received the honiirai - degree of Doctor of Letters from L niversity of Georgia.

Vou and J have been friends together, and while sometimes we have had different opinions on some subjects, yet we have never failed to work together for the oni- great objective. You with your judgment in a formative state, and 1 with the legacy of maturer years have been striving for an evenly balanced adjustment of life ' s problems for you. I think of each of you with interest and aiifection, each one is a distinct personality, and a vision comes to me as I see you going about your daily tasks, at work and at play. 1 see you as hne, strong young women with a certain blend of grace and charm, of courage and intelligence, and one who has made the transition from winsome girlhood to gracious, charming, Christian womanhood. Many fair daughters have gone forth from the doors of -our Alma Mater, some to preside over homes of happiness and distinction, some to enter professions and become useful members of society at large, and possibh- a few are laggards and have failed to meet life ' s responsibilities with satisfying results. Will the real work of Mary I ' .aldwin College be reflected in your life? Do you realize that your success will be significant of the influence which the trainint; here has had upon your character? I beg of you, the Pioneer Class of 1927. to remember that Mary llaldwin College is not a dream, but a reality, and that you are the living representatives of that reality. The College takes a peculiar pride in you. The life here has meant much to you and tlie school which has trained generations before Aour day, asks these things of you: preserve its good name; promote its progress; let no oppor- tunity pass to recount its benefits to }ou. and set your face forward for an ever- growing Mary Baldwin and give of your eft ' orts to accomplish this end. There are always those who look with disfavor upon changes and especially those in dear old Alma Mater, they recognize the fact that pioneer modes of travel, l)ioneer comforts, or discomforts, pioneer method of business, etc., belong (o l)ioneer days and were signs of strong and valiant spirits, and that these are not for practical use now, therefore why should dear old Alma Mater stand still ? You will ])rove to the world that the ideals and standards of tc)(la - of Marv i ' .aldwin as embodied in you are worth while, Tlie College will alw;iys follow your course with affectionate interest, ;nid may I urge you to so direct your lives that |)ride may l)e mingled with that interest ? The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: The Lord make His face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The Lord lift u|i His counfen:nice iijion thee, ;nid give thee peace.

Some of them are strangely similar to scenes and happenings of days gone bv, and some are set far in a wonderful future. The dreams of the past are hurried ofttimes, distorted memories of vivid Freshmen hallucinations wherein demons of doubt and failure assailed one ' s sense of importance on all sides; burning memories of the sophists illusions that suffered repeatedly from I ' rencli |)rose, wrong mental sets, and faux rds ; more soothing recollections of the Junior fancies that dared to plan new and wonderful things. And now we seem almost to turn our many tasks over to brain habit, leaving our spirits go in peace to the mountain tops from whence tliey may see things far around them, and where the Spirit of Reverie may meet with them, interpreting for them the meanings of the old hallucinations, illusions, and fancies and whispering wonder- ful and strange new things. Most often this Spirit speaks to them in words dearly familiar, recalling the love and wisdom and fine insight of Miss Latane. How significant some things seem — when the Spirit of Reverie points them out ! The diploma and the hood with its white and yellow lining become of value not, as had been expected, for themselves, but because they represent ability to attain yet higher things. Sometimes the Spirit becomes very practical, and we think of that job, and what it will be like to live on our own salary. Rut no matter how desirable the future may seem in reverie, it is a strange future, and the heart turns a bit wistfully back to the familiar friends and places, looking behind, as it were, down the slope it ascended, e ' er it looks forward again, out over the world into which it must go to work out in helpful, happy ways the dreams and hopes with which it is laden. And the record of the achievements of the past — of the class song of the Pioneers, of the high standing of the members of the class in all school activities, of the banquets, entertainments, and delightful teas with Miss Latane, Miss Riches, and Miss Volkhardt, and of the marvelously successful 1926 Rlvestocking, and most recently, of the Senior play — this record we feel is one to make us not only turn more regretfully from the past, but to turn more confi- dently to the future, trusting that our dreams shall last, when the class of ' 27 itself shall be scattered over the world. May these inspiring dreams lead us on to lives of service, which will give our Alma Mater just reason to look upon its pioneer class with pride! And our reveries of toil and fun at Mar ' Ilaldwin will grow brighter as time transforms them into golden nuggets. C-.

We are most blessed to be under her rule when in reality we have the stupendous task of compiling a volume containing the record — true and beautiful — of the ])rogress of the Dreamers — of yore, of today — of Mary Bald- win. Sometimes when around a rough table we sat at the hour of midnight, with dim eyes and a dimmer vision, chewing our pencil points in helpless rage at the inadequacy of our words, Fancy came, and with a stroke of brush and pen, painted the things as she sees them, for the god of things as they are. Other times, Fancy steals early to our side and whispers, Get this picture and write this line for The Bluestocking, and the obedient Dreamers hasten to do as bidden. Intently we implore Fancy, we trust Fancy to provide us with the magic stone of old to enable us to divine the dreams of the Dreamers aright. Oh yes, we feel the claws of grim Reality when Fancy forsakes us a minute and we are asked for facts — not fancies — of philosophy from Heraclitus to those of Aristotle, and from Bacon through the ideas of Schopenhauer. But then, at the psychological moment when the psychology of Why Wc Behave as Huinaiis is about to dissolve us, Peter Pan comes and bears us away — so far, indeed, that the problems of psychology bother us not in the least. Fancy has as many ramifications as have the evil doers of hallucinations and illusions. How satisfying it is to build large palaces in Spain, and how altogether delightful to see rose-covered cottages and bungalows which are closer than Spain. But then fanciful domesticity has absolutely no appeal for some Juniors. One or two actually believe that Fancy shall lead them into the realms of business — but could Fancy be guilty of such a prosaic crime? It has been admittted by one that her fanciful inclinations are altogether along the agricultural line. True sacrilege ! But perhaps Peter Pan was only teasing, and her ambitions shall soar above mere earthly things. However, on the whole, we think we possess discrimi- nation in the superlative — but Fancy is a college trickster, so let us ever be on the alert. Fancies have a way of coming true, too — and since nothing but the best will satisfy us, our Fancies must be lofty ones. But aren ' t they? Certainly — our discrimination we ' ve faith in. We realize the importance and necessity of having our fancies properly tuned in. So let our fancies be not merely passive, pretty things, but trul - beautiful Fancies aspiring and constructive, — something we can be justly proud of and ever loyal to. Let them be angels of freedom leading us into realms unknown to the common herd. Fancy is that divinity that shapes our ends ; the Fancies of today are the realities of tomorrow : and our Fancies are the promises of what we shall one day be. Therefore, we trust our achievements may produce golden realities at seniority.

Last year, we frankly admit, we reacted to pseudo-stimuli which resulted in the endeavor to make the school go around us. Our teachers diagnosed the case as a severe one of hallucinations which was acting to stimuli that were lacking. We can understand how they were right last year because every one cannot see in just one year the virtue in a whole class. Rut surely they cannot say this year that we want to make the school evolve around us! Yet, what do we hear from all quar- ters? Oh, but it is all an illusion, an optical illusion. This can all be changed if you take of¥ your orange and green glasses and look through the white and yellow (daylight) ones. If what they say is true, we hope the defect is not incurable. We long to have others appreciate us as we do ourselves. Worth}- upper class- men, you may be older and you may be more privileged, but we tell ' ou that we lead in scholarship at Mary Baldwin. That ' s all right. Sophs, the Juniors re- ply, but take something else as your standard : we admit we aren ' t so good, but take as your unit of measurement the good of the school as a whole and the right solution will be found. Amvvay, the statement of our illustriousness must have helped, fur we pro- cured in two years what privileges it took the Juniors three years to get. Again, they seem to have an answer ready in their wise psychological language that we cannot understand. If this is so, you have nothing further to attain unto. There- fore, by the application of the law of cause and effect, there is no growth, and when that is the case, decay sets in and death steals your luster. They talk mighty highbrow ' , but we don ' t believe it, so it doesn ' t matter. Still, how can they say that ' s an illusion of ours? We are growing all the time and have the good of the school at heart ; we spend our time exercising our intellects antl bodies so that we might lead in the scholastic field. Is that a case of illusions? We thought not, but maybe the upper classmen arc a bit wiser, and their advice to see ourselves in the right proportion seemed good. We have finally come to the decision to take the best from all ages and to adopt Aristotle ' s theory of proportion and practice it. We are beginning to see that the ideal is the golden mean between pride and humility. This right mental adjustment will take the scales from our eyes. Then we ' ll become ideal Mary Baldwin graduates, and be illustrious representatives of the school and its ideals, all because we have gathered enougli ix|)erieiice and wis- dom to help us see things as they arc.

In the Indian Ocean? Our wise Dean and friendly faculty adviser, Miss Campbell, say that we are Freshmen, here at Mary Baldwin, and that we are suffering from a disease called hallucinations I all Freshmen have it) caused by over-activity oi our imagi- nations ; that such symptoms are natural to children, but that with age and experience, which we feel we are rapidly gaining, our imaginations become controlled, and take forms, which react only in the com- mon and monotonous manner — in other words in a sane manner. They say that we feed our overworked minds on inflammable ideas of College Life ( student control, faculty submission, no work, proms, interscholastic activity, equality with upperclassmen). We are told by our Superiors ( ?) that n(j such stimuli as above are found in college, but that we act like they really existed. But in our opinion we are a supremely complacent melange, still retaining the memory of the glamour that ushered us from prep school. Strange to say, others were not so impressed by our arrival — life continued undisturbed in spite of the fact that we were here. However, the psycho-analysists insist that we have something called Hallucina- tions, and proceeded to analyze and measure a group of people known as Fresh- men. After much diagnosing and dissecting, they tried to convince us that the Forest of Argonne is the innumerable duties through which we can ' t see daylight, and that the Indian Ocean represents the depth and expansion of knowledge into which we either dive willingly or are pushed, there to drown or float or s ini. This absurd statement convinces us more fully that the examiners are tlie ones who are suffering in this case. lUit we keep quiet because we have noticed the painfully condescending attitude with hich we are surrounded, and after all we are rather helpless in such a crowd. The Sophomores ofYered to train our mind to react to commonplace things. How we rebelled ! The idea that we react to hypothetical stimul i doesn ' t hold good, during rating season especialh ' . We reacted to real beds and very untidy rooms. Was this College? This interminable bed-making, curtain-hanging, and cleaning up ! Where were all our vision and ideals that had thrilled us? We tried to appease these reformers, and so we gave a party to the faculty, and in the spring we decided we would turn the tables, and throw the rest of the school in a fit of Hallucinations. Who is Fanny? But the College world, so old and wise, went calmly on, and now we really believe that we have this malady known as Hallucinations. The specialists pronounce our recovery speedy now, as we recognize the fact that we have the malady and the cause of it and have set about systematically to overcome every temptation to succumb to it. Ere long, we ' ll be safely past the ills of Freshmen. Page Seventy-eight SuMi; C()i,i.K(;rATi:s y Page Seventy-nine fBh GiRi.s i]i r iK Insihuif.

A group of girls are often found outside her practice room — listening. What better testimony is needed of her talent ? Mary, tlie true and dependalile. has charm. From her sparkling dark eyes, her soft black hair, her ever-ready spontaneous smile, we feel its influence. Sucli is the girl. In academic work, she is thorough and earnest, yet it is in music, the piano and organ, that slic excells. There is a clearness and beauty of tone, brilliancy, and feeling when Mary plays which we so often miss in others less gifted. m Page Eighty-six ANNA GABRIEL YOUNG COorEKSBURG, PKN NSYLVAMA Graduate in Piano Graduate in Orijan ' ' A little bit of salt and sweetness A dainty bit of rare complete- ness.

We are leaving now — but we are tak- ing with us the adde l riches that are ours by the mastery of music and the power of e. pression — the two magic keys that unlock the door of the soul. .So let us drink a long toast to Fine . rts and to our Alma Mater! Page Eiglity-sez ' en The Nine Muses of Mary Baldwin jlll ' most lovely and inspiring of all the age-old, ever-young gods or goddesses, were the nine Muses. The other would-be deities had their place in the direction and misdirection of mortal lives, hut it was always to this rare sisterhood of the Xine that immortal souls instinctively turned. There was nothing mundane about the Muses. They lived on clear hilltops, beside perennial springs, and made nuisic and wrote poetry and sang songs and were dramatic. There is no record that anv of them kept house or brought up children, . o far as we know , they had neither. Rut they had their place then, for the mortal men and women got tired ofttimes and needed the change of diet from d;iily bread and bacon to nectar ,in(l ambrosia, no less than they were in want of a change of climate from (idonnis kitchens to odorous mountain heights. .So, in spirit at least, the common herd climbed the slopes of Parnassus whenever tine} ' could get away to do it, that in this gracious, celestial company they might find lleauty and Truth and Gootlness, by which, as Plato said, the wings of the soul are nourished and grow apace. The closer they got to the Muses, the nicer everxthing seemed, even if it were in some ways a mean climb. But you see, the higher up they got, the more beautiful the earth below them seemed, because they then looked out over masses of blooming orchards ; not at crawling worms. Once arrived amongst them, the traveler finds these daughters of Zeus the most charming of hostesses. For they play to him, recite to him, and reveal beauty and truth to him with that intense passion that characterizes all worshippers of art. And the traveler becomes, for the while, one of their number — a divine human dwelling among the gods, and partaking of their infinite nature, which is part of his own birthright. That is. in their company at least, men are not beasts. The ancient pagans had no advantage over us, though. We have, right here among us mortals at M. R. C, our nine Muse.s — nine patronesses of art and music and dramatics — nine lovely beings filled with divine gifts — to be exact, nine .Semi- nary Seniors. How commonplace would life be to the rest f)f u.s — without their lovely gifts! How dull and meaningless our work-a-day world without their in- terpretation of beauty, music, and humanity! With their gifts, they chase dull care away with the alluring soft, silver tones of the organ, and the full, clear notes of the piano; they soothe us with the liquid fluteness of their voices; they charm us with designs of ex(|uisite colors and graceful forms; with the power to make vivid the fantistic or the realistic, they transport us to the heights of Parnassus. In all serious gratitude we would drink to our .Senior .Specials, for th.at for us they have made life charming and inspiring and altogether desirable.

To Da lloa, sittint; in the simniest spot he could lind. the world was filled onh ' with gnawintj acanc - and irritating crying. He felt so queer inside. He had often heen hungry before, but this was different. A sort of dizziness and lethargy had him. He didn ' t much care about anything. There was no food left in the house. If he had to die, he would rather die now in the warm sun. Six months before, he had cared: had e en fought the men who had come to take her away, his little sister, into a life of slavery in Shanghai. ' Hey, the big man had said, holding the struggling boy at arm ' s length, take him off. can ' t _ ou .■ ' Da Boa hated him. He was glad he had kicked the box ' s stomach, even though the man had kicked back. I- ' ather had laid restr.ainiiig hands on him. Would you that we should all perish, my son? She will be kept alixe in Shang- hai, at rniy rate, and we shall have her price that we also ma - live. Da Hoa had I ' un around the hcjuse when they took ' her out, crying and clinging to her mother. Mamc, mame. 1 want ycju! Da llo.-i, at tlie remembrance, dug his fingers in his ears to shut out the scjund. She had been a shy little thing and rather pretty in a round, country fashion. There was that wailing again. Da Don crcjuched closei ' in his rags there in the early spring sun. The nuid and straw walls of the tiny, thatched roofed hut were Iriendly. Again the wail. It was growing weaker e er - daw Da ISoa hoped that the baby w-ould soon die. There was no food for it. Why should it live. ' ' He heard his father ' s oice within, cursing — his mother ' s praving before the gaudy kitchen god posted to the wall above the fireless earthen stove. She even heat her head against the ground in her desperate kow-towing. What was the use, thought Da Boa. They had eaten the ducks long ago, and the dog and the mule. They had sold all e.vcept the bed and tliat was worth nothing, stand- ing worm eaten, rough-hewn, rope-strung in the dark, smoke blackened cornei ' . There were so few quilts now that the rojies cut at night as the four of them lay close for warmth. There was nothing to eat, nothing now e.vcept willow baik and the (li bean stalks that his mother had ground on her stone hand mill : ground, moistened and pressed into little cakes. Sf)mehow Da Boa didn ' t feel as thougli he C(}uld swallow another mouthful of it. He had gnawed it for a long time — he couldn ' t quite think how long now— and his throat felt raw and scoured. It m.ade him cough. Da Boa rose and vmsteadily made his way to the p(]nd. lie suckeil some of its ice. Perhaps it wduld give him a fever and he would die sooner. The coldness of it numbed his burning thrcjat. lie cr;iwled back, tired with the ef- fort. Page One Hundred and Eighteen n; Dinil}- he knew that the hahy had stopped its waihng. He looked out dazedly- over the bare village threshing; lluor. A few old hand flails stood brokenly against a neighbor ' s house. Beyond them the road ran by. rutted and frozen, and yet there had been little travel. Two years of Hood, no harvests for two years! They had hoped after the first summer ' s loss of wheat and corn that the next year would be good. A few sweet potatoes, dried l) - the sun, had tied them over, but the July rains had been heavy and the river again overflowed. They had sacrificed the village cocks to its yellow waters, wringing their necks and hurling them in. The gods had not lieen appeased. Now there was no grain for the spring planting, h ven the mice had lied, starved out. Quiet continued in the hut. Da lioa fell asleep, a scjrt of di zy sleep, haunt- ed by nightmares. Horrible figures whirled about him with red and black streak- ed faces, bulging eyes, distorted mouths and menacing sharp swords. They stuck them into him. Da Boa awoke to shooting pain. . ' ome one passed the threshing floor, a man and a woman. They plodded wearily. Da Boa wondered where they might be going. He heard them mention food. His heart jumped within him. Food — Where? he cried out suddenly, and stopjied, startled at his own hoarse voice. The man turned slow, hopeless eves. In I ' ichow, she says, he answered slowly with a jerk of his thumb over his shoulder at the woman. Yes. she put in. they say that the foreigners from America are giving out money and food at Pichow. We don ' t know but we might as w ell die there as here. Certainly we are starving here. I will go too, said Da Iloa. His parents were soon told, lie found his mother, dry-eyed over a stiffened babv. Since it was dead and so very small, it must have been a changeling sent b - the torturing gods. To show grief would only delight them more. His father only grunted from the bed where he had drawn himself. .So the journey l)egan. Three days it took them to make the short distance. Every step felt to Da Boa as though it would be his last. The night before they reached Pichow they spent under the rickct - mat shed of an inn. Da Boa parted with all but his gunny sacking for a drink of warm tea and a cake of com- pressed beans the next morning. It gave him strength. Noonday was upon them before the black walls of Pichow loomed before them. Over the stone bridge crossing the river bed they dragged, every step a numb i)ain, a tearing effort. The massive, brass-studded gates stood unguarded. The place is just two streets on, someone directed them. Yes, they could see the crowd already, crying out, pushing. Above the surging black heads a fair one llared, and lie in white shirt sleeves handed out food. Keep back, keep back, a vigorous voice shouted. One at a time. There ' s jilenty. Careful — vou ' re stepping on that child— stop. The high gate house of the church became a haven, a C(msummation of all desires. Food was there. Food — they rushed. Da r.oa made a frantic effort. A tall man stood in front of him. He jumped and clung lo the man ' s broad shoulders. The crowd pushed. They swayed back .and forth as one person, close |)acked, dizzy and crazed. The man was jostled to the wall, . lmost there! Then suddcnK the bi , bonv frame ,slipi ed. Da Page One Hundred and Nineteen Boa ' s head cracked ag;ainst the waH. A Hmp figure slid to the steps. The crowd went on. Night came. Sunday morning the missionary ' s child came out of the liig gate. Her red coat was buttoned tightly under a rosy chin. She halted. Suddenly. Da Boa ' s gunny sack had fallen beneath him and now he lay stretched out, every bone in pitiful relief under yellow, sunken skin. The little girl ' s eyes held a strange, sad comprehension, beyond the experience her years should have known. Cold crept over her heart and a strictured feeling. Her mother came up. Don ' t look, dear, she said. Oh, mamma, the child sobbed, oh, mamma. and clung to her skirts. — NeTTIK I). JUNKIN. .

It epitomizes the spirit of democracy that has long constituted one of A ' lary Baldwin ' s primary assets. Paradoxically as it may ' sound, after the previous statement, it produces also the spirit of rivalry which affords the school a source of endless excitement. The apex of excitement occurs Thanksgiving morning wlien reveille is sounded by cheers from the loyal supporters of the White and Yellow basketball teams. The campus resounds with rah, rah, rahs, till eleven, when the teams, boosted by their rooters, march to the gym. This first basketball game between the Whites and Yellows in common parlance starts off our Thanksgiving festivi- ties. This system of competition is equally prevalent in all atliletics — hockev, bas- ketball, baseball, tennis, and track. The Athletic Council spo nsors and supervisors the sporting department in tlie school, and to this organizati(jn falls the task of assigning girls to their teams. It is in order to qualify each member of the Athletic Association for participation in all sports that this system is carried out. Every year tournaments in the five major sports are staged between the Whites and Yellows. The victorious team or individual is presented a trophy and the records are set down in the annals of the Athletic Council. iS Page One Hundred and Twenty-five Basketball-Yellow Team fifl M. 11...,.

M AHi.AKM Soni, 192f) May Qui-.kn Page One Hundred and Forly-eight The 1926 May Fete IJ HE May pagcaiU fur 1926 was a replica of an Old luigiish May Fete. The scene was laid in the market place of an old village ; K the occasion, the assembling of all the country-folk to celebrate the crowning of the Queen of the May. Margaret Scott was the lovely Queen of the Fete; her maid of honor was Maurine TuUy. The remainder of the Court was made up of attendants and heralds, the page, and jester. English Merry Making followed. There were shouts of laughter, splashes of color, brave feats of skill, light feet moving in dance — all lending an atmos- phere of glorious enchantment. Group by group the performers entered. There were folk dancers gracefull} and gaily dressed; tumblers, daring in their at- tempted feats, lithe of movement ; mammoth weight-lifters of gigantic strengtli, appalled with their power; pyramid builders, lightly and easily formed themselves in geometric figures ; ragged chimney-sweeps were not absent ; and an inevitable family of carefree gypsies strolled in with their funny lumbering old bear. All this — while the beauteous Queen, an interested onlooker, sat enthroned above the scene, her dainty, fair attendants grouped about her. And the jester never failed to entertain the Queen and her Court w ith ItIs side-splitting caprices. c Page One Hundred and Forty-nine ! ;- May Day Procession .Q HE Seminary Senior Class Da} ' — a long estaljlished and cher- ished custom at Mary Baldwin, was celebrated for the last time in its original form by the 1926 graduates in the various arts, im now on there will be a double class day celebrated yearly, one by the Seminary Seniors, and the other by the College Seniors — a change necessitated by growth. Both will perpetu- ate jiarts oi the old tradition, adding a few changes, appropri- ate for eacli class. This event was particularly interesting to the parents and friends of the class, and to the people of Staunton. F riends of the graduates as attendants carrying a llower chain of class colors, served as special guards through which the line of Seniors marched from the Academic Building over the campus to take their posi- tion on the steps of Hill Top for the class exercises. These involve the class his- tory, jjrophecy, and song, ending with a toast to each member with an imjoressive cup service. This ceremony was made more individual by the uniformity of class dress and hats. Henceforth, wt ' will have tlie pU-asurt ' of w itnessing two ;iltract- ivc and individual ceremonies instead of one.

Lovely tiresses of many hues, big drooping hats, and fragrant corsages pinned to sHm figures adorned the front terrace on the afternoon of AIa - 23rd. Each figure followed by proud attendants — my niolher and dad, with an occasional my sister thrown in — liroceeded to the receiving line headed by Dr. Higgins and the .Senior class officers. Cool white garden furniture bound in green, spotted the lawn which was displaying its first tender green. The trees had budded for the occasion and the sun sent bright beams onto the cool of the lawn. From groups scattered here and there over the lawn came snatches of introductions and greetings of friendships: Oh, don ' t you remember — ; C)h, it all comes back to me ; I ' m iust thrilled to meet roomie ' s mother! interjected now and again with Do have some punch — a general mingling and hearty atmosphere of good will. Page One Hundred and Fifty-one The Art Exhibit XE of the verj- important events of tlie school _ eai is tlie Art I ' xliibit, which is held during commencement week, in the Girls ' iiii — jr jTiT Parlor and the foyer just outside of it. The liuests, who in- 1 I elude the Faculty, the Seminary and Collej e Seniors, and their ' I m. w I ' •■ ' ■ ' tI- ' . ■ ' ' t ' received by Miss Meyer and the members of the I .1 : ,7 Tr , l Art Department, and conducted in groups around the improvised Art Gallery, which covers all the available space. Reference to the catalog directs their attention to section 1 of the exhibit. This is comprised of the early attempts of the young untrained tin.t,rers of those in the primary grades, and the later, more developed work of the grammar grade children, done w ith crayons, bright paper, and colored pencils. The next section contains the great variety of work done by the regidar hisl- year students. There are pencil sketches of still life, bits of black and white de- sign, and splashes of brilliant color. A large space is occupied by what ;it lirsl appear to be etchings, but by consultation of the catalog one hnds to be ninn(]- types. The Art Department is very proud of this unique process, which is not often taught. From the opposite wall, Demosthenes, Clytie, and others of the ancients look down ghostily through their charcoal eyes. One passes on to examine the excellent work of the first-year students, in the form of Historic Ornament — designs from the standpoint of both Art and History. The third section consists of the second and third year work. Here one again finds Historic Ornament, more refined in technique ; together with difficult water color studies, and a panel of time sketches. The loveliest of all this section in the 1926 Art Exhibit were the Japanese print.s — exc|uisite in their accuracy and beauty. The Senior section of the exhibition is one of dignity and polish. Both the copies from the old masters, and the original paintings and portrait sketches call forth sincere admiration. No less interesting are the architectural models of in- dividual rooms and whole apartments, each perfectly planned and executed. The last section contains the department ' s most lasting achievement, the art work for The Blukstocking, all of which is done by the members of the depart- ment. Each one has a definite share in this work, yet all of it is in perfect har- mony, illustrating beautifully the theme of the annual for which it was designed. Thus the final exhibition in May shows not only the progress of the indivi- dual .student, but the various steps, or types of work, by which this ])rogress is made ; and presents to the interested observer every phase of the work done in the Art Department. Page One Hundred and Fifty-two Page One Hundred and Fifty-three ' r, The 1926 Senior Play Ydii Nkvf.r Can Tf.i.i. — Shaw O Hl ' ' , Senior Class of 1926 established a new precedent at Mar_ ' Baldwin — that of presenting a play during Commencement week. The class started off with high ideals, selecting Bernard .Shaw ' s play, You Never Can Tell. Elizabeth Roberts as Mr. X ' alentine, the dentist, won the aft ' ection of the cool young daughter, Ciloria Clandon, played by Margaret Ward. Kath- leen Cjoodloe made a convincing twentieth century mother and author, but almost despaired over the unconventionality of the twins. Nancy Watkins and Marguerite Weller, the twins, were cunningly naughty and an ever- present delight to the audience. Missouri Miller as the philosophical butler, and Margaret .Scott as Mr. Bohun, the lawyer, were surprisingly dignified men — to say nothing of Ellen Wallace as Mr. McComas and Martha Gayhart as Mr. Crani])- lon, wlio upheld strong gentlemanly roles. Page Stuart, the dainty maid, bus - with the dentist ' s implements, was not to be ignored. The aim of the Seniors in presenting this pla} ' was to furnish an evening of real entertainment, and at tlie same time gave a demonstration lA tlieir clranuitic ability. Every ideal was ;it- tained, because the i)lay certainly yielded an evening of rare entertainment and brought to light some unsuspected dramatic abililw Page One Hundred and Fifty-four The New Girls Entertain HERE is one treat in store for the old y:irls al Alary P.aldwin. There is one surprise of which they know nothing which hap- l)ens within the first few weeks of school. Such an occurrence may seem strange, as the old girls are usually the informed ones, until our new friends become acquainted with their sur- roundings. I ' lut this event happened to be the dance given by the new girls exclusively for the old girls. It was in the gym, whence trouped all the young ladies — both old and new — in flashy dresses with shawls covering bare shoulders and fringes eloquently dragging on the shiny floor. There was an orchestra — five pieces — and refreshments, unusually luscious and plentiful, punctuated by features — dances, songs, and impersonations. The big sisters were marshalled by little sisters, dates cherished and discussed, and pro- grams fluttered. Each corner was crowded with eager young damsels in the search for my fourth, my room-mate ' s little sister. Questions floated vaguel) ' on the ;iir, and identities were sought. This year the part} ' for the old girls was an outstanding event and a brilliant success. . great deal of credit is due to those who arranged this, am! to all the new girls who helped. Page One Hundred and Fifty-five The Kid Party ,Iil ' l Y. W. ' s annual kiil party was an auspicious event which took place on Saturday night, the thirteenth of November. The only dignitaries present were one grandfather and a nurse. Where the cunning costumes that the girls w ore came from, is still a mystery. There appeared a motley crowd dressed in little boys ' suits with brass buttons, in sissies ' outfits, in sailor boys ' uniforms, in urchins ' rags, and in party dresses that any child would be enchanted to own. No one was caused the embarrassment of not knowing what to (ki an arrival, for as soon as a new guest appeared, she was either caught in the whirl of nroji the Handkerchief or marched up to London Bridge to ponder — on the pre- ferability of diamonds and Packards — if deciding on the Packards, she was only to be torn to pieces by the brilliant diamonds later in the tug. Refreshments, be- fitting the party, were all-day suckers. Then the picture-man came, and after (|uieting and ])nsing us l) ec imingly, frightened us nearly to death with his big black machine. That was enough to break uj) any party, so back to our rooms we trod, tired, sleepy children, to dream of the ])arty. Page One Hundred and Fifty-six Sophomore Senior T was a cloudy day in October, wlien the Sophomores, witli their Senior guests, also R-liss Higgins, Miss Volkhardt, and Miss Harris made their memorable and never-to-be-forgotten trip to Natural Bridge. In spite of the fact that the great god Weather looked down upon us with disapproval, a more delight- ful and unusual experience was never liad 1) - Mary Bald- win Clirls. We looked with wonder, and a great deal of reverence, at that greatest, per- haps, of Nature ' s masterpieces. We felt its bigness, its strength, its beauty, its power, and the patience and care of the ages which had formed it. Instinctively our eyes turned to Heaven and the God who moves in a m3-sterious way His wonders to perform. Before our eyes in rock, century-carved, He had given to us and to all who could read — a message. Before we started homeward we feasted on a delicious luncheon at Natural Bridge Hotel. As we passed through Lexington we visited Lee ' s Chapel. The statue of that great man filled us with as much awe as the great bridge had done. Surely the great God had performed an even greater miracle when He gave to the world His glorious message — the un- dying spirit of the noble Lee.

The gym was a veritable scene of Hallowe ' en glor}-. The lighted pumpkins, black cats, witches, profusion of orange and black peculiar to such occasions, together with branches of fall leaves, gave an air of festivity. The guests, bedecked, unbedecked, and otherwise, came forth, for the art of the Sock and Buskin is celebrated and besides — a party was in the air! Our good old Jean lent music to the occasion, and if one did not dance there was an alluring gyps ' who dwell in a tent of rugs and could disclose (lark facts — aye, even tall blonde facts. In .uiother corner, a most accf)modating little spirit offered to those who hungered, cindied .-iiiples-on-sticks. mince i)ies, and ginger cookies and cider. Time came and the motley mob came to a hush and all was dark. .Accord- ingly, Elsie Gray Hume, president of this club, led the pertornurs of the evening into the limelight. Three little girls, a colored mammy, and some others of sucli -histrionic abilit ' , rendered the audience fairly unc jmfortable and shivery with their tales of niglil life at Hallowe ' en. Payc One Hundred and I-ifty-eight Overtones — Alice Gerstenberg |( )R st ' veral years it has been the custom of The Miscellany statif to ])resent a gnnip of plays, the object being to obtain funds for the publishing of the magazine and to offer something of real wortli for the enjoyment of the Mary Baldwin faculty and stu- dent hodv. They gave, this year, an evening of one-act plays. The first, entitled And the Lamp Went Out. by Jessie P. I ' ierce was a very amusing pantomime. The characters, with Bessie Lewis as Mrs. DeVere, Jean Lucas as Evelyn DeVere, Katharine See as Ralph Grayson, Frances Jenkins as Herbert Vanderslice, and Eleanor Adams as the reader, interpreted the roles with artistic understanding. Thursday Even- ing, by Christopher Morley, was a domestic comedy of unusual truth and in- sight. E. G. Hume, as the handsome husband, A. C. McMahon as the lovable if not ideal wife, and K. See and M. G. Taylor as the mothers-in-law, well conveyed the humor and realism of the play. Overtones, by Alice Gerstenberg, more sophisticated in theme than the others, was a drama of character study. Jean Lucas and Elizabeth Hill as overtones and Eleanor Adams and Elsie Gray Hume as their respective souls, played opi)osite, suggesting a spiritual atmosphere and charming the audience l)y the delicacy of tlie presentation.

The Shamrock Circus boasted a large menagerie of many-colored, many-spotted animals, all properly caged ; a group of truly talented musicians, and two rings. This was the feature which particularly delighted the audience and was the pride of the performers. The usual buzz of conversation died into a hush of expectancy as the grand parade entered the arena and marched about the rings in time to e.xhilirating music. The haughty ring-master led the line while the monkey and clowns, gambolling at will, kept the audience in laughter. Observing formal etiquette, the ring-master announced events — fortune-tell- ing, a dance, a horse race, a performance by a tight-rope walker, and tricks of the animals, the monkey exhibiting the most talent. And so they played — and once again resumed their dignity. Page One Hundred and Sixty The Junior Freshman Tea 1 1 HH V KBM ■ :]■ 1 i P K? vij Pj 1 Nlui wt tn ---r.

And in regard to the excellency of the entertainment, the same editor might say with entire adherence to veracity, the affair was one of the most brilliant of the fall season. Donning our best bibs and tuckers, the class, witii the Fresh- man ' s characteristic promptness, arrived practically en masse, at the school par- lors. The Junior Class dignitaries with their sponsor and Miss Higgins, had formed a receiving line, at which. I ' ll own, we wavered, feeling terribly grown up and important meanwhile. Two minutes was about the time it took, though, for the party to lose forever its formal aspect. Conversation, if not exactly bril- liant, proved entertaining, and the refreshments, temptingly dainty viands, served by very thoughtful and attentive sister Juniors, satisfied the most fastidious collegiate. We must not forget the exjjlosion — tlie most startling event of the after- noon. Calm your fears, ' twas only Mr. Photographer ' s flashlight powder, which resulted in a most charming picture, we hope — and gave us all an e.xcuse to eat another sandwich.

The young ladies were chaimingly attired in regulation dress — jaunty black coat suits and soft gray hats. The receiving line stood on the lower ter- race silently welcoming the long lines of gray-clad, brass-buttoned, saluting ca- dets. Pictures w ' ere taken in actual proof of the astounding event. Incidentally the photographer gave an e.xcellent characterization of The Bat as he tliltcd hither and yon — camera in hand and face obscured by a flowing black cloth.

X a rt-cfiil niasazine article the president of a prominent college fur women staled that in selecting students from among appli- cants, all otiier factors being equal, preference was always given to daughters of alumna?. For us at Mary Baldwin this was (inlv a re-statenu-nt nf a custom which our own Miss Higgins has long had in effect, h ' tim tlu- time of her assumption of idership here, she has seen clearly the importance of recog- 1 girls ' trust and affection for the school exhibited by sending their own daughters here, as a factor in maintaining tradition. One of her gracious a s of recognition is the custom, which she herself originated at Mary Baldwin, of a yearly reception given in honor of the granddaughters. Sitting at Miss Higgins ' Hower-decorated and candle-lighted table and being the object of the school ' s envy is delightful, but there is a deeper thrill in the thought of being a granddaughter of Mary lialdwin. This year ' s fortunate sixteen descendents were the recipients of further distinction in being included in the invitation to the Alumnre Luncheon on Miss Baldwin ' s birthdax. Even without extra festivity, however, all must admit with such a leader as Miss Higgins, i)eing a grand- daughter is a decided distinction. nizm Page One Iluiidred and Sixly-lhrec The Beau of Bath liMHHHHHHHH m V I s • • 1 1 1 ■SflL J T_ J III ' .

In the spring, recitals are given by students and graduates in the various branches of special work. This precedent was established by Miss Baldwin soon after she became principal of the .Seminary, on a small scale in comparison with the present one, growing lar- ger each }ear in accordance with the growth of the Music Department, until it has become one of the most formal aft ' airs of the musical season. X ' isitors and friends of the students are always present. The student body, dressed in white, marches into the chapel, to the music furnished by the orchestra, under the direction of I ' rofessor W ' ilmar Robert Schmidt, The programs are usually varied, consisting of piano, violin, voice, ex- pression, and orchestral selections, and are most beneficial to the student body, in developing appreciation of line ;uts. They testify as to the hard work that both instructor and student have put into the subject. They also give a chance to show the public with what potential talent the girls are gifted. So the tradition is carried on and recitals will be attended, enjoyed, criticized and delighted in, ever ' spring for vears to come.

Things began to happen from the minute Malvina went out with her luggage and didn ' t stop when she appeared again to the horror of the Bullock family and the bewilderment but satisfaction of Ernest. For of course, that was the biggest achievement any- body performetl during that upsetting w-eek, the winning of Kate ; even more re- markable than Hartley ' s discovery that gas is superior to kindling wood, or Dorothy ' s that one can ' t depend on the baker. Dorothy probably made good use of all her practical lessons later, for Philip was such a perfect artist that we must suspect him of artistic improvidence also. As to the others, Mrs. Bullock served tea charmingly; John Bullock fumed about stock market and stock- farming ; Milton and Nancy consumed doughnuts and giggled : the deacon uttered his mighty laugh; and Mrs. Brown and Mrs. . ' nyder, with their talk of boiled onions, and Malvina, succeeded in upsetting the entire household. It must have been a very trying time for Kate ; but Ernest was such a nice hero that she really didn ' t mind tlie disclosure so much anvwav.

She turned out to be a member of the cast of a play called The Fascinating Fanny Brown, by Helen F. Bagg, given by the Freshman class and most ably coached by Miss Eleanor Adams. The plot had un- expected and humorous turns including the revenge on her fiance by conjured up, fictitious characters; uproars caused by an old lady who feared a trailing hypnotist ; and more revenge by false accusations. All these complications resulted in excellent opportunities for the young actors to display their talents. Elizabeth Hill, the swaggering young lover, effectivelx ' carried out the necessary perplexity and uncertainty. Jane Robinson, Mary Louise Timber- lake, and Mildred Bagley were graceful, unassuming young girls, while Jean Lucas surprised all by her natural masculine gestures and speech. Xancy E. Johnson made a very dignified matron, and it was becau.se of what the talkative tongue of Mary Draper said, that we laughed most heartily. And throughout all we were tickled liy the amusing maid.

Wi Page Que Hundred and Seveuly-oiie Mr. Kind The Man HERE is so much to say in praise of Mr. King that one hardly knows where to begin. He is not only the very capable busi- G ness manager of Mary i al lwin for over thirty years, but he V renders many acts of service to faculty and students. His cheerful temperament, his kind consideration, endears him m all. It makes us all feel cheerful as we hear him whistling niiund the campus. He teaches that every girl should marry, )Ut some of us are a little query as to finding such a man as Mr. King. (Jnce, when Miss Higgins quoted all about love to us girls, Mr. King said, Miss Higgins has stole my thunder, but after all, she o)ily quoted all the •Statements above love, but I can talk about it from real experience. Mr. King never forgets a Mary Baldwin girl. He knows every old girl who returns to visit us, and takes great pleasure in showing her the school. About thirty-five ears ago, Mr. King started the Hed-ilcaded Club — the oldest club in the school. Its popularity is attested by its long life. He is very fond of his horse. Princess, and he is a splendid rider. The spirit of exuberance has not left Mr. King — he is still a participant in early morning and tnoonlight rides. For all that he has done for us and for all which he means { i us we thank Mr. King and wish him long life and every happiness in this wmid !

Faye Tti ' o Hundred and Five a AN APPRECIATION THOLT the loyal assistance and support of Miss Price, Miss Meyer, Miss Strauss, and Mr. Shultz (of the McClure Com- pany), and their wilHngness to give their time and very helpful suggestions, this 1927 Blue- stocking could never have been the success we hope it is. Therefore, we take this opportunity to express to them our sincere appreciation of the assistance tliey have given us. Also do we want to thank the student body for the very substantial and ardent manner it has rallied — throughout the year — to the cause of Thk r iA ' ESTOCKiNr,, while the faithful and hard-working staff was engaged in the not too easy task of compiling the book. — The Editor. Page Two Hundred and Six AFTERWORD I ' RINGING from an anil)ition to make the fi (lays of 1926-27 throuijh the spreading years as real in memory as in fact, we (jffer this Bll ' i-.stoc kim; eml)odying the dreams of the past, and of the future, admixed with the realities of the present. Although the summit of perfection is never-to-be-attained, we trust that these pages of ink and gilt will stimulate memories so that roses mav hloom in December. 7 Page Tko Hundred and Seven o ADVERTISEMENTS j The 1927 Bluestocking Staff wishes to take this opportunity to thank those who, by giving us ads for our annual, have made its publi- cation possible.
