the girls of the school she had said, in a flattering tone of voice, she might do this club the honor of becoming one of it's honorary members. Dorothy however, had not made a favorable impression on the other girls. The Sassy Six had decided to take Dorothy on a hike and so she was greatly surprised to receive an invitation from the club. The older girls of the school had heard of the news, and stood around in groups, shaking their heads and pitying Dorothy, who, however, was blind to all these happenings. The next day dawned very bright and clear, Dorothy arose early, don- ned an immaculate dress of pink gingham, put on high heeled pumps and arrived at the designated corner to meet the other girls, at eight oclock sharp. The other girls, according to custom, had put on kaki hiking dresses, high topped boots, and sun hats. It can easily be imagined what the other girls thought when they saw Dorothy coming down the street in her attire. Older and more experienced students could have advised Dorothy, but they did not, and the question was, Why didn't they? Nevertheless, beforehand, Dorothy had determined that for better or worse she was going to be a sport. The girls started for Summersville, a small town about five miles from the school. The first three miles passed as if they were speeding away under the feet of the girls. There was a cool ocean breeze which refreshed the girls very much. All were in the high spirits which always help very much on a hike. However, this state of spirit was not to last long. All but Dorothy began to tire of the jokes, sights and other amusements. Many of them stopped to rest at different places along the way. At last they arrived in the village. After eating their lunch and resting they took in the sights of the town. About half past three they started home but all were so tired it seemed as if they never would reach the school again. All but Dorothy were grouchy, who was indeed the life of the party. Each and every girl wonder- ed as she trudged along, how Dorothy could keep in such high spirits, she, indeed, was a curious character. It was a tired group of girls that arrived at last on the school campus And if the girls could have seen Dorothy in the shelter of her room they would have changed their feelings toward her. Dorothy threw herself upon her bed and tried to keep back the tears, but it was impossible. Her feet had never been so sore and she had never been so tired. She would never boast of herself again. All too soon for Dorothy, the first dinner bell rang. She wondered how she ever could get to the dinner hall. Nevertheless, she would show them she was a sport. She changed her dress, combed her hair and tried to cover her tear stained face with powder. At dinner she appeared to be as happy and refreshed as if she had been in her room all day. Each and every girl stared in amazement at Dorothy. They all knew how tired she must be, yet how brave she wasl That night it was a somewhat humbled group of girls that assembled in Marjorie Iessup's room to add to their enrollment the name of Dorothy Danvers.

Dorothy Triumphs H, HERE you are at last girls, hurry in so Miss Holberg wont say we caused a disturbance in the hall. This 4 .f,l7W,1 remark was addressed to two girls about sixteen years of age who had arrived at Marjorie Iessup's room to . a g ere. if- il ttend the meetin th There were three girls already assembled in the room, Beatrice Rhodes, Lucy Harrington, and Marjcmrie, who has already been mentioned. The two new comers were Lucille Roberts and Iean Gilbert, These girls were members of the Sweet Briar Boarding School for young ladies, but even of more importance than this they were the charter members of the honored society The Sassy Six. It was considered a very great honor to become a member of this club. So far as was known the club had no real purpose other than to play pranks, but as it never did any harm the faculty not approving of it had decided to let it remain. Of all the meeting so far held in this club this was one of the most ex- citing due to the graduation of one of it's members, the club had to take in another member. Many were the wild speculations and rumors circulated about as to the new member. This meeting was called for the sole purpose of discussing possibilities and planning ordeals for the list of eligibles. Well girls, said Marjorie, the president, Are there any more names to add to the list of those eligible to our club? Yes indeed, I have a pure case of stuckuppishnessv said Lucile. Oh, and who can she be? came from all. Well get ready for the shock said Lucille. Its the new girl, have any of you seen her? The new girl exclaimed the girls in surprise. Yes came the reply, she told a lot of the girls that she might do this club the honor of becoming one of its members. I met her down in the Deans office this morning and her name is Miss Dorothy Danvers. Here Lucille placed special emphasis on the Miss and then added, she certainly gave me a cold stare. All members were speechless. Did she really say that? 'ask Lucy, If she did we surely will have to Hx some kind of a dose for her. After a brief silence Iean spoke in an excited tone of voice, I have it girlsl Let's vote on putting her on our list of eligibles, then we can plan an ordeal for her and give her a try out to see what kind of a girl she really is, altho it's my opinion she's one ofthe worst boasters Sweet Briar has ever had on her campus. When the meeting adjourned it was announced that this measure had been voted on and carried. So Dorothy Danver's name was to be added to the list of eligibles to be added to this club. Rumors usually cause some kind of misleadings and so they did in the case of Dorothy Danvers. To tell the truth about Dorothy, she was one of the most likeable members of the school.

An Appreciation 1 --e T ' ' S WE the Seniors come to the end of our so'ourn at N.H S. - f f I . ' . ' and make ready for the leave taking and onward yourney, igigi jm vii we look about us with awakened affection for those Pm- 'WH h' ' d 'h h A d ' ' ll lm-QQGEQQ Q4 t ings associate wit our stay ere. n it is we that our thoughts linger long around one who was here before us, who has been with us through all things, and who stays after us,+-I speak of Betsy the school piano. We met Betsy first at our own Freshman reception. Of course, we thought little then of her part in the musical numbers of the program. We were too much awed by the talent of our upper classmen. Even later when we became the hosts for other Freshmen receptions we accepted Betsy's invaluable aid asamatter of course. Then again there was the time when we as Sophomores were going to entertain the Seniors with a hike after school. A sudden rain storm embarrassed, but Betsy saved the day and our dignity. We carried her down stairs to the office and sang songs around the fire place. At all social functions she has served us without demure or recom- pense. Never has there been a party or reception without the music of Betsy, a faithful but unhonored performer. The Glee Club could not exist without Betsy. The Literary Societies of the past owe many of their successful programs to her assistance. More- over she has nobly assisted us in atheletics. Her Iazziest tunes have sounded and resounded through the assembly hall during song practice before our big games. She remained in her place through good old yells like Ricker-Racker-Fire Cracker, calmly approving as tho grand opera were being rendered. Some times when the school day was over and we could say, All is well, we would pause to let Betsy give forth our happiness in joyous notes or, if all had gone well we would would linger to express our meloncholy through Betsy's sympathetic keys. Always would we pass on cheered by her understanding. Not always have we accorded the piano the gentle treatment appro- priate to one of her artistic temperment. We have taken her from room to room, up stairs and down, where ever music was needed or desired, but whether for reception, Glee Club, Literary Society, yell practice or amuse- ment, Betsy has never failed to respond to the call and give us her best. To us she shall stand as a symbol of all that is dearest and longest remem- bered of our school life. And, on the evening of class day, our school day done, When we shall gather around Betsy for the last time, though our voices fail us in our farewell song, we know her steady tone will carry on unfalteringly as it has ever done, and her last notes shall inspire us as we take up the onward journey., E.
