Cudgel thy brains no more about it Senior Class Poem Come down the cinder path at nine And pass in review the redoubtable line Of the noble-est class you ever have seen, The incomparable Class of 1914. There are nineteen lassies in the class, And seven lads — twenty-six en masse. Each one is good and each is true To teachers, school, and classmates too. First let me bring before you now Elam Compton, who ' ll show you how A first-class president to make, For such he is without mistake. There ' s Agnes B. and Slattery A., Their names will live for many a day; Hers for her humor and wit no less, His for four years winning an S. There ' s Effie B. and Edna V., As fond of Art as they can be; As music from the keys doth flow, How great the joy that they can know. There ' s Edna L. and Nora, her friend, If you should chance some time to spend With them in work, in school, in play. You ' ll find them charming every day. And there stands May with an anxious brow, Wondering when and why and how It all will ever come about That she can get The Vermilion out- There ' s Albert Thomas whom you ' ll find A manager of no mean kind; He worked so hard for L ' Acadien, His friends all say he did tres bien. There ' s Mabel D. whom we admire, And of her jokes we never tire; A girl so full of fun is she. Of mirth and larks and jollity. The would-be poet of this class, A tall and plump and longsome lass, She liked her Latin books so much, No other lessons would she touch. Linden with an iron sway Will rule a school some future day. And George will dig some dim truth up And drink from Learning ' s deepest cup. There ' s Bryant with his eyes so blue. With too many sweethearts to be true; And Lilla in the college halls Shall revel at the grandest balls. Stella Comeaux so sweet and kind. Will sure ere long a husband find. But Louis D. so bashful and shy Will blush whene ' er a girl comes by. Brenda Paxton is not slow And where she goes she ' ll get a show. Linus T. is of gentle wit — In a Principal ' s chair he yet will sit- And Catharine as a suffragette (Excuse the slang) will get there yet; While Grace will whirl in many a dance. She ' ll go whenever she gets a chance. Ondine to a saint is much akin And will ere long some true heart win. Alice the hardest heart will reach; She was not cut out to teach. Stella T ' s to the country bound, Here she long since her work has found. Remi an energetic man Will ever do the best he can. Now Robert with his pranks and larks Wins favor with his many sparks: And Louise with her smile serene, No gentler lass was ever seen. Clotilde always steady and true Will ever be the same true blue. Turn to the list then by and by And you will find which one is I. I ' ve introduced you to each one; A few more words and my task is done. With wishes best to each of you. Our teachers, chums, and classmates too. I bid farewell to every soul Who has looked with patience on this roll Of numerous Seniors now who tell To each and all their last farewell. May every blessing come to you. My loyal classmates kind and true. Never was happier class I ween Than this one of 1914- Senior Class 1914 A and B COLORS: Orange and Black. MOTTO: Vive et disce. HOUR years we have sown the seeds of knowledge, and the time has come for us to reap the harvest of our labors. Of course, some of the seed has fallen by the wayside and been devoured by birds ; other has fallen upon rocks and withered away ; and some has fallen among thorns and been choked by them ; but surely some has fallen on good ground and will bring forth good fruit. It is always sweet to review the memories of a pleasant past. Let us then go over together, the four years of toil and study, which are just now ended. True, disappointment clouded our firmament of hopes quite often, but we were always guided by a bright light which revealed to us the day when we would reach the goal for which we were striving, and find our reward. Four years ago, in September, 1910, we entered S. L. L L as timid Fresh- men, whose dreams of Senior, Graduation, and Diploma occupied most of their time. We overcame all of the hardships which presented themselves, and the following September, we found ourselves Sophs. It was not until that year that we fully realized that we were a part of our school, and, as a part of it, had to do something to show that we wished to be known as such. We furnished stars for the football, baseball, and basket-ball teams, and active members for the literary societies. We also accomplished a great deal in actual study, and quite often did the teachers say we were the best class in school. Our Junior year meant very much to us. We did very much in Physics, Latin, and Literature, and all of us were determined to hold out until the end. By this time, we had learned to take an interest in our work, and we did not look upon study as a bug bear, Cicero didn ' t look as Grewsome as had his predecessor, and we liked Physics even more than Chemistry. And then came our Senior year to crown all! Oh, how we had waited for it ! How we had gloried over the thought of overcoming all its hardships, and how we had dreamed of the laurels we were to win in the end ! And now the time had come, the last year of our life at S. L. I. I. when we were to leave a lasting impression on the minds of our teachers and fellow-students. All of us were resolved to make this memory the best of all, and I earnestly hope that we have succeeded in so doing. We have tried to leave our record free from every taint of all that makes a class uninteresting, and trust that our school will have every reason to be proud of the class of 1914. But classmates, let none of us forget that our success in the future de- pends wholly upon how we apply what we have learned at S. L. I. I. Let us ever remember the lesson she has taught us and the words of our well-beloved poet : Then welcome each rebuff, That turns earth ' s smoothness rough, Each sting that bids nor sit nor stand but go! Be our joys three parts pain! Strive, and hold cheap the strain ; Learn, nor account the pang; dare, never grudge the throe! CATHARINE BUCHANAN, Historian. Class Prophecy 1914 A Once upon a midnight dreary, While I pondered weak and weary — — vainly trying to see the future for the members of my class in dear old S. L. I. I., suddenly Mother Shipton ' s prophetic mantle seemed to slip around my shoulders and a vision unrolled itself before my eyes. George Arceneaux was a college president. Edna Vix, Edna Lambert, Effie Bickham, and Alice Bertrand, were militant suffragettes leading a parade in the national capital to demand votes for women. Mabel Dumartrait, Lilla Mouton, and Agnes Blanchard were high national officers of the Camp Fire Girls. Linden Dalferes was Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, deciding a cause celebre against Elam Compton, Attorney for United States Steel Corporation. Stella Theriot, as the acknowledged successor of Maud Powell, was making a tour of America with her violin. She was accom- panied by Louis Delhomme as manager and press agent. Remi Lavergne was editor and manager of the greatest poultry magazine in the world. Elise Mc- Connell was a second Jane Addams, head resident of a social settlement. Albert Thomas was the proprietor of the world-famous Thomas Sanitarium, in which Grace Abshire was head nurse, and Bryant Hopkins a patient — suffer- ing from enlargement of the brain. Slattery Aleman was star center fielder for the New York Giants. May Moriarty was a celebrated teacher of Home Management. Brenda Paxton was an equally celebrated teacher of Physical Education for Women. Nora Cotter was Dean of a conservatory of music. Catharine Buchanan was President of a woman ' s college, and had her name decorated with B.A., M.A., D.D., Ph.D., LL.D. Ondine Bourgeois was a nun, and Clothilde was teacher of French in Catharine ' s college. Louise Horaist was taking Miss Dupre ' s place in the Institute while -the latter was spending a year in Europe. Stella Comeaux was teacher of Trig. And Linus Terrebonne was Governor of the State, visiting S. L. I. L for Commencement and advising the graduates to be honest, industrious and upright citizens. Then I woke up. And here we are! FLOPS.

Class History A La McMurry OTIVATION : The motive of the Class of 1914 in coming to S. L. I. I. was to train ourselves to be teache rs of home economics. We had heard of the two-years teachers ' course offered in this subject, and wished to take advantage of it. Organization: We have had the distinction of being Seniors, in a sense, from the day of our arrival ; since we were the first to take the two-years course. At our first organization there were six members. One had to leave soon after school started, on account of ill health. We were sorry indeed to lose her, but a new member has been added this year, so we are still six in number; in force, a legion. For has it not been said that man can not live without cooks? Not that we consider it of any great importance whether men live or do not live. But we mention this material evidence because we realize that man can appreciate material evidence only. Of course, with such a large number it is natural that there should be two Smiths. Three other names are also quite simple. Wilder, Lyles, and Tanner; but to save the class from commonplaceness, one is named De La Loire (pro- nounced De La Lwar) and called De La War, De La Loi, etc., etc. As proof of our ability to organize, note that in the above : We compare ; We Co-ordinate ; We contrast ; We correlate. Causes we observe And note effect. We synthesize ; We analyze; We criticize; We Generalize ; We classify ideas And reflect. Appreciation : Now that the course is finished, we appreciate its value even more. It offers splendid training in Home Management, Domestic Art, and Domestic Science, and gives a good course in practice teaching. Our Domestic Science has taught us to appreciate Moss Pharmacy ice cream, Martin ' s oyster loaves, and bread from the bread cart, also the use of raisins as a leavening agent. Dormitory life has taught us to appreciate cake, chicken, and other good things — on account of their rarity. Initiative : One of the main purposes of the course is to develop initia- tive. Profiting by our instruction, we started the custom of having an annual Richards memorial program on December 3, in honor of the birth of the woman who has done most for Home Economics in the United States — Ellen H. Richards. Our originality has also been shown by the experiment of running a delicatessen shop in connection with the cooking department, which has been very successful. Another departure from the beaten track is the course in gardening. When we teach, we shall not only be able to teach the girls, but even the farmers will come to us for help ! R. P. T. 0 Will of the Home Economics Class of 1914 NOW all men by these presents: That I, Letie Lyles, in behalf of the Home Economics Class of 1914 of Southwestern Louisiana In- dustrial Institute, of the City of Lafayette, State of Louisiana, con- sidering the certainty of our immediate departure from this present life, the grief of our former associates, and our own wealth and unusual talents, do hereby attempt to pacify each and every one by some small remembrance. ITEM I. I, Pauline Tanner, do hereby will and bequeath to Ruby French my ability to arise at second bell, and get to breakfast on time. Fur- thermore, do will and bequeath to Marie Burleigh my love of washing dishes. My stack of last year ' s Saturday Evening Posts, I will to Mr. Irving P. Foote. ITEM II. I, Effie deLaloire, do will and bequeath to Mrs. Watkins my diminutive stature and my banquet dress. Furthermore, I do will and be- queath my ability to teach to Estelle Fournet ; I do also leave my sylph-like walk to Miss Ryan. ITEM III. I, Stella Smith, do hereby cheerfully will my ability to make flowers to Annie Williams. I also leave to Lena Marine a certain quality of my Senior personality which she wonderingly admires.

I. about two months, when one day, while rum- maging in the attic, among some old books, I saw one ' way back in the corner, which somehow attracted my special attention. I took it out to examine it more closely. It was bound in leather but was worn rather shabby. I opened it to read, and saw written in a school girl ' s hand. January 26, 1914. I have decided to write in my diary the happenings of our class during the past term. We have just finished our term exams., and only one member of the class has left, so I think this proves that we have all worked hard to make this term a success. We were a class of eighteen who, in the fall of 1913, came to S. L. I. I. to take up a Teachers ' Training Course. We knew, of course, that it would require lots of work to get through this course, but we had no idea, then, how hard it would be, to overcome some of the difficulties we have since en- countered. Our first enemy was Mr. Lesson Plan and I don ' t think we have met with any enemy since, who was as hard to overcome as this one. Why some of us hardly knew what a lesson plan was, and now, we were going to have to write lesson plans. We went at it bravely, though, and in about a month most of us could write a fairly good plan. Now, however, most of us laugh at those first plans, which at the time we thought were very good. Our next enemy was Mr. Practice Teaching. But after overcoming Mr. Lesson Plan, it was not so hard to overcome the other enemy. Practice Teach- ing. After that never-to-be-forgotten day — the day we taught our first lessons —was over, we took to the work quite naturally, and did not mind it in the least. Psychology — why we could hardly pronounce that word. And now we were going to have to study Psychology. Why, what is it? was heard on every side. We soon found out, however, and after digging at it for a month or two, we began to understand it. All was practically easy sailing, now. Trig, and Eng. we took up with the Fourth Year Academic Class and though for some reason they pretended to look down on us, we soon showed them that we could work Trig, and learn poetry about as well as they could. We also took up History of Education, and learned just lots about the appreciation of the relative values. In our work in this subject we were guided principally by Dr. McMurry ' s Standards. This term is over now, and we still have in our class seventeen of the eighteen who entered in September. What the new term will bring forth we can not tell, but if it proves as successful as the last, we will be satisfied. May, 1914. I had resolved to write up the happenings of our class, at least once a month, but really our new subjects have kept us so busy, I haven ' t had time to even think about my diary. However, I can not neglect it any longer. Here it is. May — nearly the end of the second term. I just can ' t realize it. We have now had nearly eight months of practice teaching. The class last year had only about four months, so we ought to make just twice as good teachers. Isn ' t that reasonable? And we have done substitute work at the Grammar School till some of us almost became members of the Faculty of that school. It certainly made us feel important when we had entire charge of one of the grades. And when we ' d march our classes into the auditorium, and take our places with the other teachers, we thought we were somebody. About the hardest subject we studied this term, was Applied Psychology. But we went at it determined to conquer, ana i think, most of us have done so. Next week we will take our finals. If only we could all come out victo- rious. Here ' s hoping we will. Next fall, most of us will go out in the State to teach. But wherever we are, I am sure not one of us can ever forget the year we spent as S. L. I. I. I closed the book, and put it back where I had found it. How did it happen to be here? Probably in the excitement of packing up, she had neglected to take this. As I replaced it, I couldn ' t help wondering where this girl, and the other members of her class were. I suppose they are all scattered over the State, but I am sure that each one will, as this girl predicted, ever remember those happy days they spent at S. L. I. I. B. S.

But the business world is practically at a stand- still right now, just waiting for this year ' s Commercial Class to graduate. They need us in their business, in the stores, the banks, the railroad offices and every- where. The class is celebrated for being the best book- keepers Mr. Agate has ever taught. But we are the leaders in nearly all other lines too. There ' s Clarence Bergeron, for instance, Captain and Catcher on the Baseball Team; he ' s the hero of the spring of the year. Then there ' s Terry Roy, Captain and Full Back on the Football Team ; he ' s the hero of the fall of the year. George Singleton, Captain of the Basket-ball Team and champion in track athletics; he ' s the hero of winter and summer. Kramer Hatch is our Ladies ' man. Felix Campbell and Paul Chastant are tied in the race for champion Bashful Man of the class. The two girls of the class blossom out with the names of Rose and Florida. Morris Caillouet holds the record for champion streetwalker in the afternoon with Joe Blacksher. Norbert Landry is distinguished for being slow but sure. Ovey Peck is a crack basket-ball player. Eldridge Higgin- botham and Kramer Hatch represent the class in the band. Fritz Stromer is celebrated for not working between meals — though he does use his mouth a good deal at all times. The whole class is distinguished for non-affiliation with the Literary Societies. We ' ve got to work : we ' ve got no time to be fool- ing with children! , R. S.

It is already famous for starting a new thing; for it is the first and only class that ever tried to make stenographic reports of Dr. Stephens ' s announcements at morning assembly. The daily history of S. L. I. I. may now be written, which never could have happened before. There are twenty-six of us if we all stay in, i8 girls and 8 boys. Our motto is : Learn to do by doing, which was suggested by the beautiful lines of Longfellow: Let us then be up and doing Every one we can, and thus We may keep them from pursuing Clever schemes for doing us. Our colors are Pink and Green — Pink for the girls, who are the Pink of Perfection and the prettiest girls in school, and Green for the boys, who are so — well, any way, the colors are Pink and Green. Besides all this, the Class of 1914 is at present the most important of all, for the reason that Russell Pregeant is our brag Varsity Baseball pitcher for the best team that ever played on S. L. I. I. campus. E. Distinctive Features of Our Teachers DR. STEPHENS High forehead MISS DUPRE Low height MRS. GILCHRIST Slow talk MR. GILCHRIST Straw Hat MR. CARNES Some size MR. GRIFFIN Pointed nose MR.

How small our first stream was, merely a creek; how large our boat in comparison, and what a large crew aboard. Surely the stream was narrow or else we made very good time, because, we crossed m such a hurry. But, when we got to our second stream, it had broadened, so had our minds; our boat was larger too; but alas! some of our crew had fallen over- board. They didn ' t drown, however, but drifted, some into other streams of learning, some into the broader streams of life, some to the sand bars of matrimony. Our third stream suddenly developed into a river, a rather small one, of course, but rough. There we buffeted with the waves that would sweep over our decks when squalls arose. During that voyage we picked up some members of other crews that had gone before us, and had had the misfortune to fall overboard. Some of our members fell overboard too, only to be picked up by the succeeding crews that follow us. Now that we are in the middle of our fourth and last river, with the weather rough and our voyage still long, only eleven of our crew are left and our boat is larger and still harder to manage. We shall certainly not give up, nor keep along the banks of the river, but steer right out into the roughest, and fight with all that is in us. And, when we sail into our harbor, you ' ll see, Vaincre sans peril c ' est triompher sans gloire. G. McC.

L. I. I. occurred, which was the arrival of the Class of 1916-A. At first it was expected that they would put us in the Senior Class, but the matter was finally compromised by putting us down in the lowest grade, which was satisfying because we knew we couldn ' t be put any lower. It ' s like when you fall down — you ' re glad to see yourself on the ground, because it ' s so solid and sure to hold you up, and then you can ' t fall any further. We have been improving ever since. A few fell by the wayside on ac- count of the horrid exams, but we got some new ones. We call ourselves Juniors sometimes — just so. It sounds well and refers to the fact that we ought to graduate in another year or so. It ' s a long story to relate our many honors and distinctions. Joff and Joe Drouet and Henry Siadous and Walter Billeaud are the mainstay of the Varsity Baseball Team, and Joff is besides a great Ladies ' Man! Eugene Triay is some Ladies ' Man himself ; the teachers have to make him sit a long ways off from the girls. Then there ' s Harvey Hopkins, Henry Siadous and Tommy Guilbeau, the three great Football stars. And Josie Milburn — she ' s Treasurer of the Avatar Society. And Antoine Meaux is distinguished for bashfulness. And the Class snowballed Mr. Griffin! No Class in school can ever come up to our record ! J. A. M.

I. on September 17, 1913, a day that wiir in the future be celebrated as a holiday on account of that important fact. The Class is easily the best in school. We have two members on the editorial staff of The Vermilion, the best bi-weekly newspaper pub- lished in S. L. I. I. ! We also furnish the great and only leader of the Rooters Club. No organization in school is considered on a sound basis without some member of the Second Year Class on its staff. In athletics we are celebrated. We have members on every team in school. We have more pretty girls than any other Class. And then we are so up-to-date in every way. Why, for instance, we were studying Snow- bound a few months ago, and we got so interested in it that the Class Com- mittee on Weather got busy and started up a real snow, the first ever seen at S. L. I. I., to illustrate the scenes of the poem ! As Whittier says : We looked upon a world unknown. On nothing we could call our own. But, of course, Whittier never knew this Class ; else he would have known that there isn ' t anything we couldn ' t call our own ! I could write a book about this Class, but Watch us in 1916! That ' s our slogan. E. S. Second Year B N Wednesday, September 17, 1913, school opened, and we all came I down to look over the Freshies — especially the girls, of whom there was an unusually fine line. Old Big Boy Richard had returned, and — would you believe it? — he had a new neck-tie! Long Distance Bunt was also back, with his Herculean and Methuselemistic corn-cob pipe, noted for its age and strength. We gave the new members a decent welcome and got right down to hard work. And at the end of the first month some of us had passed and some hadn ' t — a very unusual record for any class. On October 11 we played football against L. S. U. at the Parish Fair grounds. We held them to a 6-0 score in the first half ; but in the second they ran it up to 26 and we consistently held on to our original score of o. And on the Monday following we welcomed the remains of our former President, Edward Daigle, a member of the team who had come out of the game a little disfigured but still in the ring, and was soon as good-looking as ever. After the holidays the class took on a head-light and a light head. We were all so glad to see each other after the long separation of the holidays that one of us fainted with joy, and Doc. Weinmann had to be called in to revive him. We then pitched in to the exams. So many people seem to think exams are something dreadful, but we just eat ' em up. Nearly all of the class passed. Even Fournet passed in Algebra. When the new term started Miss Glenn and the class were certainly sorry to lose one of our quietest members — Mr. Josephus Blacksher. Some of our greatest boasts are as follows: (1) Being the last class that passed the gauntlet. (2) Having two Letter S men on last year ' s track team. (3) Giving Varsity football and basket-ball each a player. (4) Having the prettiest girls in the whole school. W. D. Song 1914 MUSIC: Maryland, My Maryland. S. L. I. I ! S. L. I. I.!

L. I. I. from the Lafayette Grammar School. We were new, of course, and didn ' t understand why we were being jostled about and called Freshies, Shrimp, and other such names, by all the Old Boys. We would have been forced to run the gauntlet had not Doc Stephens stood by us, for we were like unto the sheep under the shears of their shearers. That crowd treated us terribly while it lasted, but at last they quieted down and gave us no more serious trouble. We didn ' t do much in our lessons at first, but finally we settled down, and took to cutting up, keeping quiet, passing, flunking, getting tours and demerits, etc., as our natures demanded. One of the first achievements of the Class was made by Lawrence Butcher. He sprained his arm in the gymnasium, and caused quite a bit of excitement in the whole school, because his folks thought he had been hazed. We had no other dreadful calamities, but now and then a little accident — as in the case when a chair slipped from under one of the Class in Mr. Gold- smith ' s room. Under the supervision of Mr. Gilchrist, Mr. Goldsmith, Miss McLaurin, Miss Gueydan, Miss Dupre, Miss Glenn, Mr. Bond, Miss Hebrard, Mr. Wood- son, and Mr. Foote, we are now doing fairly well, and are full of expectations for the future. And though we haven ' t yet lost our name of Freshies, yet we are by far the best Class in the whole school ! — Ask Miss Dupre ! R. A. First Year B HEN this Class first arrived on the campus in September, 1913, every- body kept on picking at us till it nearly made us mad, yes! They called us Freshies — just as if they had not once been Freshies themselves. One of the first things we didn ' t like was when they divided the class into two sections and put all the boys in one and all the girls in the other. The Class was not treated with the same respect it had enjoyed at the Grammar School. It was the highest Class in school there, but the lowest here, and that made some difference. We enjoyed Mr. Carnes ' jokes. One of our bright members asked Mr. Gilchrist what good we would ever get out of Algebra. Miss Dupre said we were one of the nicest, but noisiest of all the classes she ever had. Miss Glenn had such a good opinion of our work that she often excused some of us from the room and let us stand in the hall enjoying the scenery. The Class is full of good material for athletics and it is easy to see now that it will not be long before we are the most important Class in school — any way you take us. L. B.

After our credentials had been accepted by Mr. Mc, we thought we were it not suspecting that we would soon find out to the contrary, when we began the study of Psycology, Biology and Textiles. We didn ' t know how to cook and we didn ' t know how to sew, but through the help of competent teachers we have made such rapid progress that we are now able to create appropriate costumes, and prepare and serve the refresh- ments for an entertainment. On Decembber 19th a look at the faces of Home Economics Class i con- vinced every one that the Xmas vacation was at hand, and though the Class believes in unity, the members were glad to stand divided for two weeks when each one spent her time at home. On January 5th our holidays came to an end and we all returned, some a day or two late, to cram for mid-term exams, in which we were all successful. When we resumed our studies at the beginning of the second term we found that we had to give up our dear old Psychology and Biology only to be wor- ried with Curriculums and Bugs which we study about in Methods and Bacteriology. We were glad to welcome two new members, Lucy Wilson and Ruby French, into our Class at this time and we have every reason to feel that they were an acquisition. At present we are striving for success and hope to return to S. L. I. I. in September as full-fledged Seniors.

Breaux Memorial Collection, given by Mrs. Josephine M. Breaux, of Princeton, New Jersey, in honor of the memory of her husband, the late Colonel Gustave Arvilien Breaux, of Lafayette, distinguished Confeder- ate soldier, jurist, scholar, and old-school gentleman, who was a devoted friend of the Industrial Institute and each year gave valuable books to its Library. These books have now been gathered in one collection and are added to annually by the gift of One Hundred Dollars for the purpose from Mrs. Breaux. The addition for the present year consists of a set of the Eleventh Edition Encyclopedia Britannica. The portrait is a life-like representation of Colonel Breaux, also presented to the Institute by Mrs. Breaux.

Some day you too may be as great. Caught Well, if you ' d like to listen, I have a wondrous story; About the time those girls got caught, In the dormitory. Miss Hebrard to the chaperone, My dear, I ' m going out. So will you please just watch the girls And see what they ' re about? Don ' t let them go from room to room, Don ' t let them pillow fight. Nor play leap frog out in the hall For that ' s a dreadful plight. The chaperone then promised To watch each girlie there So Miss Hebrard gladly hurried With light heart down the stair. And then dear Mrs. Frere Who is the chaperone. Went up and down each hall and stair. And found them still and lone. But how the girls were listening To her step upon the floor And all their hearts beat gladly. When she finally closed the door. Then slipping quietly along. Without a sound at all Some disappeared behind the doors Of the large dining hall. And some pulled out the chafing dish From corners far and near. And started up some candy, Without a thought of fear. But the girls in old room 20, Had wondrous news to tell, So they went visiting down the hall To talk with us a spell. And oh! how they laughed and whispered! In kimonos all arrayed; Th e chaperone was busy, So they were not afraid. But she wasn ' t quite so busy, And she thought she smelled a rat. So she slipped into the hall-way As softly as a cat- Straightway she heard a giggle, Then a bump upon the floor; Full well she knew that mischief brewed Behind that tight-closed door. She reached her hand out softly, Then quickly turned the knob; Oh! how those girls did scatter. You ' d have thought it was a mob. At once the lockers all were filled. And one girl, tall and slow Stood trmbling wildly in the room With nowhere left to go. She gazed at wall and ceiling, But shook her throbbing head; Then with one flying, dashing leap Landed beneath the bed. When Mrs. Frere first sought the place, She looked around in vain, Not one of those bad girls Would show her face again. She peeped behind the table She looked behind the door. She glanced up at the ceiling And she looked down on the floor. And there from underneath the bed, As plain as any day, The tail of a kimono Before her eyes there lay. She quickly seized this garment, And pulled with might and main, But the girl who wore it grasped it, And pulled it back again. How long the pulling lasted, No one will ever know; But the force from underneath the bed Finally did let go. And then she drew the shrinking girl From out her hiding place, And glared with all her fury Down into that pale face. The lecture lasted hours! Then with dignity complete. The Miss was ordered to her room. And Chap made her retreat. And then the lockers emptied. And corners far remote; The girls all slipped out whispering Poor kid! She got your goat EDITH MASON. The Ten Commandments of the Steno- graphic Department 1. Thou shalt not wait for something to turn up, but shalt pull off thy coat and go to work that thou mayest prosper in thy affairs and make the word failure spell success. 2. Thou shalt not be content to go about thy work looking like a bum, for thou shouldst know that thy personal appearance is better than a letter of recommendation. 3. Thou shalt not try to make excuses, nor shalt thou say to those that chide thee, I did not think. 4. Thou shalt not wait to be told what thou shalt do, nor in what manner thou shalt do it, for thus shalt thy days be long in the job which fortune may give thee. 5. Thou shalt not fail to maintain thine integrity, nor shalt thou be guilty of anything that will lessen thy good respect for thyself. 6. Thou shalt not covet the other fellow ' s job, nor his salary, nor the position he hath gained by his own hard labors. 7. Thou shalt not fail to live within thy income nor shalt thou contract any debts when thou canst not see thy way clear to pay them. 8. Thou shalt not fail to blow thine own horn, for he who is afraid to blow his own horn at the proper occasion findeth nobody standing ready to blow it for him. 9. Thou shalt not hesitate to say No when thou meanest No, nor shalt thou fail to remember that there are occasions when it is unsafe to bind thyself by hasty judgment. 10. Thou shalt give every man a square deal. This is the last and great commandment and there is no other like unto it. Upon this commandment dependeth all the law and the profits of the stenographic world.

The Service We Render UR PRINTING DEPARTMENT was estab- lished originally as an accessory to our adver- tising business, we being engaged in planning ways and means for securing, increasing and developing business through effective advertis- ing, with a special department for Schools and Colleges. We discovered that a demand existed for artistic print- ing of the highest class, so we purchased the best modern machinery that brains could devise and money buy. Our equipment being complete, we engaged the services of ex- perts—men of proved ability in photography, art, type- setting, color printing and book-binding. Ours is the Only Organization in the South equipped to take up a booklet, catalog or college annual at its very in- ception and carry it to successful and artistic completion. We do all the work, and therefore do not divide responsi- bility by farming out parts of it. Prices are neither the highest nor the lowest in dollars and cents, but are as reasonable as possible, consistent with the service rendered. We solicit an opportunity to serve you.
