LUX ’f Historical Sketch of Wesleyan W hSLhA AX ( OLLEGK was incorporated in 1830 by the Legislature of Georgia under the name of “ The Georgia Female College.” Two years later, the trustees elected a president and faculty, and in dan- narv, 1839, the doors of the College were opened to the public. On the first day ninety young women were enrolled, and during the term the number increased to one hundred and sixty-eight. At first the College was under the control of the Georgia f onferenee of the Methodist Church, and is now governed by the North Georgia, South Georgia, and Florida Conferences. The ( nllege has the distinction of being the oldest college 4 for women in America, and probably in the 4 world, and lias for three quarters of a centurv maintained the highest standards of educational life. It is the aim of its management that it should he not simply the oldest college for women in America, but the last. More than two thousand graduates of the College are widely scattered throughout the world. The diploma of “Wesleyan” has been pronounced the “higest academic honor open to a woman in the South.” The College is located in the best residential section of Macon, which is, perhaps, the most beautiful and cultured of all Southern citii s. The campus consists of eight acres, with the buildings located at one end, and the remaining space used for recreation grounds. The buildings in use are five in number, consisting of Main Building, Susannah Wesley Memorial, Roberts Hall, the Dining Hall Building, and Senior Hall. An endowment fund of $300,000 has recently been completed by Dr. V. N. Ainsworth, which goes to greatly increase the efficiency and strength of the College, and gives it an added pre-eminence in the field of Southern education. 8 Main Building it; k. tr ' ; k: ro 3 6 , Board of Trustees 181)8— BISHOP W.

Lest trembling cause some rock to fall And crush some flower, blooming near. As peaceful summers come and go. The rose vine clings with ling’ring love; Yellow roses from aliove Shed sunshine on the flowers below. ' Phe sweet pens climb, as if to grow Above the wall and | eer beyond. The jonquils nod, beam golden glow On modest violets; they, two, in bond Surround the daisies, merry hand That dances and bows, a happy crowd. As if they would proclaim aloud Their joy to all in every land. Midst all this joy, e’en it is so, Sad are the hearts of the crimson flowers, For soon they know that they must go Far from these lovely, enchanted bowers. Each red carnation has heard the call To brighten the world with radiant love Shed sunshine, given them from above. Far from the crumbling, crannied wall. Rebecca Rranitam, ’13. The History of the Class of 1913 X the night of May the 12th, 1900, we first realized what the colors of red and white and the Kn Klux Klan might mean to us. We were only little subs then, and there were very few of us, but not a single one will forget when the dear Seniors of 1909 were leaving, and gave us, as a token of remembrance, our colors, — the red and white, — and passed down to us the organization which we have enjoyed and cherished, — “The Ku Klux Klan.” This night, when we look back u] on it, seems very, very far in the past, and the eight little subs, who constituted the Class of 1913, have received the name of “fossils.” Lucy© Kenton was the leader of this little band during its first year, and we might call her a siren as well as a fossil, for even the stout hearts of the Monticello crew were charmed, in spite of themselves, by her beautiful singing. “It seemed she could have floated in the sky And with the angelic choir made symphony.” Lucye was not only gifted with a voice, but she was also blessed with a wealth of very golden hair ( ?), and in her train followed Evelyn Cranford, of Valdosta. Although Evelyn was quite young then, we were made to realize her executive ability when she was elected President of the Class of 1913 for three successive years. Gertrude Cotter, from Hawkinsville, although possessing, I have no doubt, quite an extensive supply of this selfsame power to execute, was, very unfortunately, overlooked this first year when we were in search of a rigorous board of officers, and not until our Senior year did we discover this hidden secret. Whereupon we immediately elected her the Secretary of the ( lass of 1913, and since that time “Truddie” has worked so hard that you would hardly recognize the rather stout little girl who entered in tin fall of 1908. Anne Cunningham, ’though known as “Gentle Anne,” was voted the most mischievous member of our Class. She was never happier than when hiding the hats of all the callers who kept “steady company” in the Reception Hall n Saturday nights, thus sending dozens of embarrassed Mercer students in 56 £ FLU PL U XJT a search over halls and ]x rches for their lost headgear. Then, there was Ella Hess McMichael, from Buena Vista, Georgia, whose love affair by itself would furnish ample material for a whole history. Every fall, since she entered the narrow lane which leads to learning, “E. B.” has had quite a serious mis- understanding with “that old sweetheart of hers,” and has been often found in the wistaria-covered summer-house consoling herself with these lines: “O weary heart, O slumbering eyes! O drooping soul, whose destinies Are fraught with fear and pain; Ye shall be loved again.” We all know how vitally important just one or, perhaps, two words may be to a piece of literature: so these two names — “Kathleen and Leo” — are the powers behind the throne, or, more properly speaking, behind the ball, which have caused our Class to take first place in athletics at Wesleyan. Where would the Thanksgiving basket-ball games have been without “Kathleen and Leo”? They were inseparable, and, like Cicero, believed that “Friendship is eternal.” Only one other fossil has remained with us for five years, — Ohungling Soong, — and of her we are justly proud, since she came from across the waters, from the distant country of China, to list her name with the Seniors of 1913. It was not until the following year that the real Class of 1913 was formed. It was quite a job for the few Freshmen who had been subs to initiate all these new girls into the secrets and mysteries of “The Ku Klux Klan.” Per- haps it was a job, but those timid little girls, who had always thought of initia- tions in connection with fiery billy-goats, ghosts, and greasy poles, can assure you it was well done. There were five so-called “town girls” who, all their lives, had gazed at Wesleyan and Wesleyan girls from a distance and with envy, and who had always been very cordially invited to attend the pay entertainments and revivals held in the chapel. These were Annie Gantt, our reigning society queen”; Elizabeth Baker, the indispensable, and without whom the Senior Class would never have pulled through its successful year; and Susie Merritt, who agreed with the man who said, “The most offensive way to lx reminded of our mor- tality is to lx hurried.” People like Susie and Goethe, who “never rest and never haste,” complete their work and escape the friction of it. There was another “town girl,” Katharine Carnes, Editor-in-Chief of The Wesleyan. She 57 f]KJLJ fC LU.Xf was one of those girls who “spoke the truth, and saw the fact, and loved the right ; to whom love and faith and high ideals are so intimate” ; hut woe unto Katharine! she had a friend, a very good friend, and her name was Cornelia Adams, talking-machine, patented October 15, 1893. As Macon responded so nobly with her five, let us see what the other towns of Georgia sent: Some very striking examples of Georgia femininity are Annie Lou Hardy, from Senoia, much letter known as “Little Sister.” or “Petite, and Minnie McMichael, from Buena Vista, who is noted tor her jovial disposition. She has l een known to assert herself that it is won- derful to have lived with “Little Sister,” “Tibba ,” and “E. B.” for four years and still to have retained her sweet disposition! But, speaking of dispositions, we must not overlook Irene McDon ald, from Douglas, who always seems to be happy. ou know Stephenson says this is our duty, and u bv being happy we sow anonymous benefits upon the world, which remain unknown even to ourselves.” Emma May Rambo is from Marietta, and how would the (lass of 1913 have supported its pugilistic record without her? Who but Emma May would have taken care of not only her own banner, but the banners of every other class at esleyan for four long years? Who could have kept a green-and-gold banner from the prying eves of the Freshmen for two weeks, and who, pray tell me, could have been searched in vain for the 1910 banner except Emma May? Hattie Stublw was always with Emma May, and she, like the Hattie of “Emmy Lou ’ was “Emmer’s nintimate friend.” Just as we needed Emma Ma to promote the strategic element in our Class, so we needed a counter- balance, a power of serene and resolute calmness, to uphold its dignity, — which often wavered, and this power was found in Ruth Shelton. Besides being thoroughly dignified, Ruth was dramatically funny. She made the finest “Nora’ possible — an inquisitive, prying Nora; a Nora who pretended that her deepest interest was in tin “habiliments” of her mistress, but who would sneak to windows at every available opportunity to see if tin stout gentleman of the blue coat, the brass buttons, and the big round hat was standing on the comer twirling his club. Gladys Ousley, from Valdosta, was gifted with many friends, but, to her. friendship was a wide portal, and sometimes admitted “T-L-ing.” However, 1 think she has at last learned that “Friendship always benefits, while Love sometimes injures. So Gladys, after numerous and “sundried” cases, has settled down to the humdrum of her Senior year without a “True Love.” 58 J elu_ It was said of Willanne Gurr that she was pessimistic, but could she be pessimistic who optimistically believed every good fortune people told her ( Willanne, after a visit home, was elated by the fact that her father had put water works in their home, and announced this fact to a room full of girls. One of the girls remarked, “Oh, yes, Willanne, 1 saw a mention of that fact in the Macon Telegraph . 1 believed it was copied from the Dawson paper. Willanne searched the Macon papers industriously for days, but not finding in glowing headlines where Mr. Gurr had put in water works, she gave up in despair. There was another Freshman who entered Wesleyan that fall named Uubye Wray Chester. I hardly think Wray was conceited, perhaps she was only optimistic when she thought, “Who chooseth me shall get, not so much, “what many men desire,” but “who chooseth me shall get what ‘Jim mostly desires. Florida sent us splendid material that September. When Christine Bryan came she was rather quiet and unassuming and given to early risings in the cold, grey dawn, tin same resulting in perfectly prepared lessons. Success was the seal stamped on her work from the beginning, and now the State of Orange Blossoms may boast of furnishing the present President of the Student Government Association. The Ku Klux heaved a sigh and thought initiations were over for one war, but after Christmas came Ethel Gardner. She was usually rather quiet, except when it came to Adairsvillc and North Georgia. Let us consider, fellow-students, just how much we are indebted to Ethel for all the knowledge she has imparted to us concerning Adairsvillc and our own State of Georgia. What an empty void our minds would have been concerning these two all- important facts had it not been for “Ethel G.”! If slu ever needed assistance in telling of the wonders of North Georgia, it was enthusiastically furnished by Johnnie Atkinson, whose life, like tin Wanderings of desses, was scattered far and wide over the Northern part of our State. Johnnie was a very present help in time of trouble, not only to Ethel but also to members of the geology class in regard to the mineral resources of Georgia. We who survived the trials of the Freshman Class rc turned in the fall of 11)10 to resume labors. After the fashion of upstarts, wc registered, cast sidelong glances at the new Freshmen, and settled down to rule the College according to our own ideas. To our amazement the Faculty did not seemingly turn over affairs to us, but continued to treat us as before. We then subsided 59 into a hurt silence, and were particularly grateful to liave our forces strengthened by eight new girls. Three of these were ministers’ daughters, and we have all taken particular pains to test them by the saying regarding preachers’ children which was handed down to us, in awed tones by our grandmothers. However, we all agree that they neither demoralized the entire student body nor “trailed the honor of the noble institution in the dust.” The important three were: Rebecca Branham, who, like the Rebecca of old, was “very fair to look upon”; Virginia Fraser, without whom the student body is inclined to think Woodrow Wilson would never have l cen elected; and Annie Dickey, whose store of knowledge for The Wesleyan was boundless. Mary Starr was from Oxford, Georgia, and her Wesleyan work was very strenuous; for any afternoon you chanced to go to tin city you would find Wray and Mary promenading Cherry Street “getting ads.” Emily Melton was also from Oxford, as any one would know without being told, on account of the display of 1 . A. pins. To acquire more K. A. pins, and to keep all those she had, was her chief aim in life, and all things else were subservient to this. But these were not all who came to help us rule the College, for there was Itubye Lee McKinney, who was so timid when she came that we called her “Reuben,” a name that clings to her still. Marie Barrow, bom and bred in Reynolds, Georgia, also came to us that year; and you will perceive form her real name, as well as her nickname, which is “N ' esl ce n uts ” that she is quite Frenchie, and, also, that she had controlling interest in quite a family, consisting of “N’est re xts,” “N’est ce Dollie and “N’est ce llobbie Marie was afraid that her family needed more practice in their mother tongue, so she required that each and every member ask for what they wanted at the table in French. One of her obstrep- erous charges, after repeating in a normal voice, “Passez-rnoi le bucrre s’if cons plait, ’ alxmt six times without receiving any response, shouted in a loud voice, “Pass your ma the butter on a silver plate.” There was only one other girl who enrolled her name with our Class that year, and she was Theresa Ilodges, from Perry, Georgia. Tales of Theresa were rumored before her arrival. We listened with wonder when told of the vast store of knowledge she had acquired, and, when at last she came, we stood at a distance, felt our insignificance, and termed her “the child prodigy.” 60 [ErazjRL luxJ l When the fall of 1911 came, it was with joy and sorrow that we re- assembled to walk once more through those long, echoing halls, to sit once again in those familiar classrooms, and to lx what we had never been before — Juniors. As for the joy we are quite sure of that: there was the mere joy of living, the joy of seeing the girls, the joy of friendship and of love. Tint are we equally sure of the sorrows? There were few of them, and they were small, when we thought what our Junior year could mean to us. Our aspirations soared to extraordinary heights, when we thought of the Junior Prom, and we talked, dreamed, and thought of very little else for weeks before the eventful night. Excitement reached its zenith, when the rumor spread that Ch tingling Soong had invited the Chinese Ambassador to Switzer- land to the Prom. We planned days ahead exactly what we should say to him; and, although our Prom was a wonderful success, all our plans were of no avail, for the Ambassador to Switzerland failed to put in his appearance. After years of preparation, we entered Wesleyan, in the fall of 1912, as privileged Seniors. In the Senior Class, as “in the Forest of Arden, the fortunate few who have access to it formed a kind of secret fraternity, a brotherhood of the soul,” which kinship is felt by those who have kept the faith by years of hard work. There was one girl, Leonese Park, from Macon, Mississippi, who, while we were toiling at Wesleyan, in preparation for tin eventful day when we should l e Seniors, was just as busy at the University of Mississippi, and came prepared to wear her cap and gown with us. So, though we entered College at various and sundry times, this Class of 1913 departed en masse to tackle the wide, wide world; and no matter what the Future may hold in store for us, the Past is crowded with happy memories of our joyous days together at Wesleyan. ' Cornelia Adams. 61 Corner of inh« h pFTO K I- u Prophecy of Senior Class IIE sun, a great, round hall of fire, as it went to sleep in the west, was flinging kisses at the golden harvest moon, as she peeped up from the waves. ‘Twas a lovely scene. The ocean was like a mill-pond, it was so smooth and still. The lights of the city were gradually growing dimmer, and looked like myriads of tiny stars twinkling in the Milky Way, with the Statue of Liberty as Halley’s Comet, its tale of light sweeping across the heavens. All were standing on board the great steamer Olympia to wave good-byes to the loved ones on dock. Some were sad, and some were supremely happy. To the sad class, Anne and I belonged. There were traces of tears in her eyes, because her fiance had been to see her off; and, although we wore going to Paris to buy her trousseau, parting was such sweet sorrow. I was a little blue and teary, too. Our friends had been kind and thoughtful of us, in that our state- room was filled with flowers, magazines and candy, but it reminded us too much of home, so we went upon deck. We had just settled comfortably in our steamer chairs. Anne was dreaming of , and T was wondering why Pec Branham had failed to meet us in New York, when the steward came up and said, “Bog pardon, are you Miss Emily Melton? TIcre are steamer letters for you and Miss Cunningham.” My ! how glad we were to get them. “Here’s one for you, Anne; no, there are about a ‘million dollars’ worth for you. It reminds me of mail call at old Wesleyan T was suddenly grabbed around the neck and swung halfway across the deck, because Anne had opened some of her letters and was so excited. “What under the sun is the matter with you, crazy ? “Oh, Emiline, look here!” “Anne, sit down and then tell me what you have heard, people will think we are wild.” “I don’t care what they think. Here is a letter from old Gladys Ousley, and she is — guess where ?” “How do you think T know, — in Jericho ?” 63 “No, she is in England, and lias just given her concert in London. It was such a success that the King wants her to play at Buckingham Castle. She is going to meet us at Liverpool, and wants us to help her select her court gown. Won ' t we have a good time?” asked Anne. “I am crazy to set her. Just think of all three of us being together again! But by the time 1 finish selecting clothes for you and Gladys, I shall have to leave immediately for the Republic of China and put myself under the care of Chungling Soong, the medical expert. “Oh, do let’s go to the great Soong Polyclinic and have her cut out our foreign expenses!” answered Anne. “If we art alive when Chungling gets through with us we can see Hattie Stubbs at her beautiful Mission House at Soo Chow. I had an invitation from her just before I left home for us to come to visit her.” “Here is a package for you — open it. I want to know what is in it,” said Anne. “It is a book,” I answered, “ and old Annie Dickey wrote it. Let’s set what the name of it is — ‘The Circuit Rider’s Wife the Second.’ 1 ought to have known she would write something like that, for she has always written beautifully.” “What do you think about this? — A paper edited bv Miss Mary Trammell Star. The greatest paper in the world — ‘Tin Whys and Wherefores of the Universe,’ ” said Anne. “Give it to me. I want to see what she is doing in newspaper work.” “Look at this, I wish you would! The whole front page is taken up with a picture of a good-looking woman — Miss Annie Gantt, the leader of the Four Hundred. At last Annie is doing the stunts that she was always so crazy about,” I said. “Let’s turn over and look at some other page. 1 knew I would find somebody else. Here is Irene McDonald’s latest address on Woman ' s Rights. She certainly has strong convictions on the subject. 1 hear that she is to run for some otlice in the next election.” “T hate to worry you so much, Miss Melton,” said the steward, “but there is a wireless message for vou, and by special request we are going to let you receive it direct.” “Where do I have to go, and what do 1 have to do?” 1 asked. “I would rather you would just bring it typewritten to me.” G4 fK U K JL U X j “M iss Melton, it is a privilege for a passenger to catch the wireless himself; however, this courtesy is extended through your old classmate who is sending it. Both of you just come up this way,’’ he said. “Come on, Anne. 1 am so excited over a wireless.” “Here you are, ladies; just step into this little room and the operator will tell you what to do.” I was soon seated near the instrument with tin harness over my head. “Why, hello there, Emiline! Have you or Anne been seasick yet? I reckon you would like to know who this is. It is Kathleen McRae, and 1 am in the wireless business in New York. This is the first message that I have sent, but Marconi says that I shall make a wonderful record. “I did not know that you and Anne were going to Paris until just a short time ago. Lucye Benton and Gertrude Cotter art up North traveling — the price of cotton went up this year, and so they are both rich now. They arc having the best time in the world just traveling around. I want to tell you a scandal on Lucy. You remember last year while she was singing in grand opera ? Well, she fell in love with the World’s Greatest Tenor and vows she is going to marry him just as sure as she is alive. Poor old Trud is having such a hard time keeping her from doing it. You know Trud has just left her husband because he would drink. Did you know that Ruth Shelton had been to the Conservatory in Boston for Expression ? She had such decided talent, and has done so beautifully that Dean Southwick has named her as his successor. 1 saw Leonese Park and Rubye Lee McKinney the other day down in the East Side District of New York. They are doing Settlement work, and all of the poor people down there are crazy about them both. Leonese sings for them quite often, and they call her their Geraldine Farrar. Emiline, 1 want you to know I ” “ Vl what?’ Oh, my! Anne, the connection has gone, and I want to know what she was going to say so bad. We returned to our steamer chairs, tucked our rugs warmly around us, and were eagerly reading our letters, when 1 came across a queer-looking package. It was not a book, neither was it a paper, but it was stiff and square. “The Pictorial Review , by Miss Johnnie Atkinson! — Look here, Little Anne, I want you to know that Johnnie is still in the picture business. I wonder if she has as hard time with her subject as she used to have with us for the Annual ?” “Emily, stop talking so much, and let’s look at some of the pictures, said Anne. “Why, the whole portfolio is about the Governor of Florida, and some of her stump speeches,” 1 said. 65 fRU KJLU Well, stupid! Who is the Governor of Florida, I wish you would tell me.” “The Governor? I don’t know. Tones was the one last year, but I have not heard the returns of the recent election. Anne, look here! 1 wish you would. Can you believe your eyes? Tt is Christine Bryan! I know she will make the best Governor that the State ever had — that is, if she governs them any way at all like she did us. She used to send me into my room every night after eleven. I thought she would be tired of governing when she graduated from the ‘Oldest and Best,’ but is seems she isn’t.” “I don’t see how she could want to govern so many people,” murmured Anne. “I suppose you believe in intensive government and not extensive, eh. Anne ?” Emily, I wish you would stop trying to tease me, because you can not do it. While we are on this subject,” said Anne, I shall read you an announcement that I just read in the Macon Telegraph . Where is that paper? Oh, I can’t find it, but, anyway, Cornelia Adams and are going to get married, and they sail on the 20th for Venice, the place where the groom bought the bride’s engagement present.” “Oh, yes,” I said, “I remember that pretty ring and all those pins that Cornelia had, but T did not know that it was anything serious. My! It seems like to me that everybody is indulging in it at the present moment, and 1 don’t see a chance yet for me. But such is the life of a single woman. “Em, T’m so sleepy,” said Anne. “Well, here is just one more letter I have to read you, and then you can go to sleep. Guess who it is from? No other than Ethel Gardner.” “Ethel is mean; she never does write to me,” said Anne. “I had almost lost track of her. Tell me what she is doing.” “You know how crazy she was about botany and zoology? Well, she is out West catching butterflies and studying the different animals; then she is working for Burbank, too.” “Go to sleep, Anne, but please don’t sleep long, for I shall be lonely if you do.” Here is one letter that T have not read yet, but I shall let Anne sleep, and tell her about it when she wakes up. Bless old Virginia Fraser’s heart! This is a long letter from her, and she is in Washington. I wonder what for? This is fine (reading the letter) : “I am spending the winter in the White House with Woodrow V ilson s daughters. He was so delighted over the Wesleyan girls’ songs during his 66 ffrC LJ KLU campaign, and lie found out that I was the leader of them, so he asked me up to spend the winter with his daughters. Needless to say I am having the time of my life. “I saw Minnie McMichael at the ball the other night, and she told me a secret. I shall tell you, tliemgli, because by the time you receive this letter everybody will know about it. She is engaged to the Secretary of the Navy — because Minnie always was fond of ‘Ships’ you know — and they are to be married in the spring. You just ought to see her! She is the happiest person in the world. “ I see Katharine Carnes quite often, too, because she is Head Librarian in the Congressional Library. She is putting in a new system of tiling, and President Wilson thinks she is a wonder. “Susie Merritt has just taken her Ph. 1). from Harvard, and she is to have the chair of English in Randolph-Macon next year. I think 1 have told you all the news about the College girls that 1 know. ’ “Anne, please wake up. You don ' t need sleep in the daytime. ou can get enough of that at night. Here is another letter. You can read it it you care to.” “Seeing this in here about Katharine Carnes makes me think of Elizabeth Baker. Did you know that she and Little Sister Hardy had gyne on a trip around the world? They are in Australia now, and they are more than enjoying it. There are a whole lot of other girls and six l)oys, and it is just like a house-party all of the time. Tibba’s rich uncle died, leaving her two million dollars on the condition that she spend one of the million on travel,’ said Anne. “Isn’t that fine? I didn’t know that, but 1 can go you one better. 1 want you to know that Theresa llodges is teaching the Frenchmen how to speak French. It sounds like a fish tale, but it is so. “1 am not surprised at that,” answered Anne, “for while we were in school she knew lots more about French than Air. Graham. As we come back home maybe we can come by Willanne’s Tunnel. 1 saw just before we sailed that it would Ik completed before the year was out. It is to be under the Altantic from New York to Liverpool.” “Let me tell you one thing, Anne, I am going to be on top of the water,— never way down under it like that.” “Anne, where are you going on your wedding trip ?” “Why, I don’t know,” answered Anne. “1 hate to go to the same old places that everybody goes. So I think maybe we shall go to the South 1 ole. 1 certainly do appreciate Marie Barrow’s discovering it for us. She did it in the nick of time. The only thing l am worried about is that Evelyn 67 KU K L U Xl Cranford won’t get to come to my wedding. She has such a large school this year up at Richmond, Virginia. Believe me, she surely does put the finishing touches on those girls up there, too. She does them just as she used to touch up our old hats. You know I could never get married unless she wen there to put on my wedding veil for me.” “Oh, don’t worry alnnit that, Anne, I shall see to it that Evelyn gets there all right. The thing I am excited over is getting to Paris by tin 30th. You know that is tin night that Mademoiselle de la McMichael — in other words Ella Bess — plays there. That is her first night then , and I want to scv her in her new role. They say that it is magnificent and that the President � f France is wild to marry her, hut Ella Bess loves her work too much. All of the people are raving about her. “Wray Chester is over there too, hut she is not in the play. She is director of Ella Bess ' s private orchestra, and they can play, too, believe me.” “Em, look there, what is that?’’ asked Anne. “I don’t see anything.” “Look up there, please,” said Anne; “there is an aeroplane.” “Anne, an aeroplane ! where ?” “Right up there.” “It looks to me as if it is going to light here.” “So it is,” said Anne, “right here by us.” “Hi there, Em and Anne!” 1 heard somebody call. “Anne, 1 want you to know that it is Emma May Rambo that is running the ma chine, and Leo Baker is with her.” “Come quick, Em, for we can not stop hut a minute; we want to bring you the news that tin Red and White is still winning at Wesleyan.” “Well, where are you going, Leo?” “Why, don’t you know? We are going to Cuba to see Florida play football,” said Leo. “Emma May is coach and I am sponsor.” “Here is a note for you, Em, from Bee.” “I wish we could take you lw� th with us, but there isn ' t enough room,” called hack Emma May as they flew away. We went back to our steamer chairs, and Anne just could not stay awake any longer. She fell asleep and 1 read: “Emiline, 1 am sorry not to be with you, but love in a little brown cottage is sweeter.” Bee gone, too! All of my old friends are deserting me.

Have you ever wondered why our grandmothers always speak of “tin good old days” — not years? Why they always say: “My child, my school days” — not years — “were the happiest?” Perhaps they have the proverbial feminine aversion of acknowledg- ing years; or, perhaps, they know that their life histories will last longer if given one day at a time. Possessing all the characteristics of a true granddaughter, and lacking the first requisite of an historian, it will lx easier for me to speak of the College days than of the years spent at Wesleyan bv the Class of 1014. Yesterday a wonderfully significant event took place — the transition of a small band of school girls into college girls. History was completely side- tracked, and its old habit of repeating itself was abruptly stopped. These girls began to do and to accomplish. Soon they departed from the “needle- threading” and “button-stringing” method of entertaining, and showed to college life an al fresco luncheon and a hotel banquet. Originality was again displayed when a member of this Class created and ' successfully established the literary societies of Wesleyan. Nor was this all that these girls did: ancient languages were modernized, battles were fought — and won! To-day — “Their deeds still travel with them from afar, And what they have been makes them what they are.” There are many privileges attached to the honor of being a Junior: Besides enjoying the distinction of belonging to an “upper class,” its members attain the age and degree of dignity when young men are allowed — and are absolutely essential — at their Prom. Yet these Juniors are not satisfied with their attainments: there are aims, efforts, and struggles to reach the sphere and assume the dignity of “patient, grave, and reverend Seniors.” To-morrow — the coveted and ideal state will be gained; great hopes will be realized. All hail to these Seniors! When, with all of its victories and vast successes, the Class of 1914 receives its diplomas, that will be the final triumph — the culmination of its era of achievement. 74 Nelia Damour.

Of such importance is this date that from it all time is reckoned. The previous history of these people is recorded in language known only to mothers, nursery maids, and school teachers. I u t , having passed that stage of unwritten history, we come now to review what is known among men as Freshman and Sophomore days. These have been days of honest toil, with sometimes heartaches and almost heartbreaks; hut, on the whole, they have been happy days, full of wholesome, though not always most enjoyable, work. A record of this may he found in the archives of “the oldest woman s college in tho world.” Days counted most blest are those that are remembered best, and some of these have been indelibly stamped on the College calendar as red-letter days. As we turn the leaves of tho calendar, memory slips back through many days which are famous because they represent occasions of real pleasure and delight in the success with which the girls of 1915 ministered to those faithful people known as the Juniors of 1912 and the Seniors of 1913. The whole world recalls the minutest detail of evenings spent in the tearoom or in the over- wonderful “movies” — that mecea towards which school girls’ eyes turn. There are other days marked by joy riding in trolley-cars, with pennants flying, and class yells and songs making the earth glad. A few places on the calendar are sacred to holidays, which, in common parlance, mean “feast days,” which, among the many days, seem very few, but which are all the more dear for being so rare. Xot only has the Class played an important part in the social life of the College world, but. it has starred in the field of Athletics. Three of the seven girls who entered the tennis tournament in 1912 won class champion- ships.

We were warned that rough, rough winds and roeks Alone would our portion be; That work, hard work was ahead of us, More work than we ever could do; So we poor little Subs were sore dismayed. And trembled at starting, too. Hut either the seas were calmer then. Or we had a letter crew Than the other ships who had gone that way. For we sailed it smoothly through; And found that the roeks, if we worked with zeal. Were soon passed by with ease, And we even escaped Geometry Keef — That terror of Sub- Fresh Seas. At Freshman Fort we stopped to add New members to our crew. And glad we were to take them on, Hut we sailed oil sadly, too; For we left behind a pilot good, A guide beloved, who Through all the tempests of the way Had steered us straight and true. On this year’s trip we still sail straight; We fight sometimes as we go. Hut the green and gold wins every time, And it always will, we know. We’ll fight right bravely till we win All victories on the way. And sail, with the green and gold afloat, Into Graduation Hay. Chhistink Broome, ’10. Class of 1917 Colors: Red and White.

It was here that our spirits fell, for lie told us that we would lie “Subs.” The whole school considered us as children and, especially the Freshmen, thought us babies. Very soon we found out that we would l e the Class of 1017, with the red and white colors, which we determined to make victorious. Our first opportunity to prove our worth was when we helped the “Sophs” to victory on the night they burned the Freshman effigy. Our greatest triumph was the taking of the Freshman banner. My, but it was fun to see them hunt for it! We were so enthusiastic over the Seniors’ victory and the stolen banner that we condescended to give the “ Fresh ies” a few points in basket-ball. Since “Subs” are believed to start at the bottom, we decided to wait until our Freshman year to make our glorious debut in basket-ball, for now we have to use most of our time in looking after the other interests of the College. We were introduced into Wesleyan society by the Seniors at a Hallowe’en party on the campus from ten to twelve. We entertained the Seniors with a Christman tree in the “Gym,” and old Santa Claus brought each a present characteristic of her personality. It is rumored that the Seniors are going to honor the “Sub” (’lass bv having them serve at their garden party at Commencement. The “Subs” are seriously considering the question, which we will take np with the Hoard of Trustees at Commencement, whether it will be advisable to move the College out to Itivole or not. The Seniors are to give us their colors, yells, The Ku Klux Klan, The Wiggle-Tails, and the example of tin Class of 1913, which we shall forever strive to follow.

Rose looked dreamily out of the window with a far-away look in her eyes and a faint flush on her cheeks; then she suddenly pushed back her hair from those dreamy eyes and gave herself a little shake. It was true that college bored her and it was true that she wanted to leave that very day, but there seemed no way of escape. If only Keith would come for her and they could leave that place forever. Rost laughed softly to herself, for she could almost see Keith driving up to the front in a big farm wagon; then lie would tie the mules to the iron post and run up tin steps to call for ‘‘Miss Rose Grantlev.” “That’s the one ami only way he can get here now,” she sighed, “for when he left that last college his father declared lie should work on the farm and make every penny lie spent, and I haven’t had roses but three times since, she concluded aloud. “What’s the trouble, Rosie,” asked Nell Brady, looking up from her zoology text-book. “Between these frightful earthworms and that doleful sigh of vours, I’m about to get the blues.” Nell was a roommate and the one, consequently, in whom to confide. She knew exactly how many colleges Keith had been to, how long he had stayed at each place, and just why he had taken so speedy a departure from each in turn. She also knew the effect Keith’s trials had upon Rose Grantley’s spirits, for Nell was an observant young lady, and inspiring listener, and Rose was of a confiding nature. Now that she had spoken the first few words. Rose felt that an (xplanation was due to Nell, so she smoothed out the letter she held in her hand and began: “Well, you see it’s just this way, Nell. 1 haven’t had any roses in over a month, and you remember how Keith never used to miss a week. lie said 94 KL-TLJ roses were my flowers, and he always sent red ones.” Here she paused until X cl 1 nodded her head encouragingly and remarked that she had missed the roses too. “But what I hate most of all is that he never comes to see me now. Positively, his father is the meanest man I know! lie puts every cent that poor boy makes in the hank and won’t let him draw it out. Says he can when lie ' s twenty-one — if he has any sense by that time.” This was given by Rose with a sarcastic shrug of the shoulder intended for llio father of the much- abused Keith. “And Keith writes me that lie’s making enough right now for us to for him to oh, Nell, you know what T mean, but somehow 1 can’t tell even you,” she finished in confusion. “Oh, yes, of course I understand. lie’s making enough for you two to l e married,” replied the matter-of-fact Nell. “The trouble seems to be just with the father. Yes, undoubtedly that father is an obstinate, an insurmountable difficulty.” “An insurmountable nothing! lie ' s an old toad — that’s just what he is, and I wish Keith didn’t lxdong to him! He won’t for long, if 1 can help it.” This last was added half under her breath, but of course Nell heard and laughed so heartily that Rose was almost offended, but at last allowed herself to be coaxed into a good humor and out for a walk. That night she. could hardly study for thinking of Keith. He was very troublesome and quite ruinous to a young lady’s lessons. It was annoying to read a line in literature and then to have an image of Keith plowing right down that line as if it were a row of corn; or, if she were able to rid her mind of Keith the over-worked, Keith in party attire was sure to bob up at the end of a paragraph in place of the pencil, and to stay there, telling her all the things lie had said tin last time she had seen him. Of course Rose forgot to read the next paragraph for fully ten minutes, and when she did at last come to the next period, then was Keith. It did seem as if that boy followed her everywhere and contrived to disturb her peace of mind on all occasions. Now Keith Brown was a young rascal, who, like many another of the same type, had thrown away his opportunities as fast as they presented themselves, and when they were all gone lie had begun to realize just how much he had lost. He did not find it so pleasant to utilize his football muscle at the plow, nor to spend his leisure hours tramping through the woods alone , and he quite longed for one more look into a Latin grammar; but all such wishes were idle, for Keith was doomed to plow himself a new field and to sow a better crop of oats this time. 95 IHLU KLrTJX mm One fine spring evening, after the day’s work was over and Keith sat dozing on the vine-covered veranda, with his feet on the banisters and a pipe in his mouth, he was startled into wakefulness by a slap on the shoulder and the voice of his old friend and roommate, Sam Williams. Xow Sain was by no means a “dig,” but lie was a lucky chap and knew well enough how to keep out of mischief. His appearance at this time was an especial occasion for rejoicing, for Keith had about reached the limit, and his patience was at the breaking point. It’s a mortal blessing you came when you did, old chap ’ he remarked, when another pair of feet rested on the banisters and another pipe made the fresh night air dense with smoke. “I was planning to break loose and leave the crops to Nature for about a week. I think they would hardly miss my absence.” “What literary guy was it who instructed us to plow our own half-acre?” inquired Sam with a grin. “That’s one lesson you took to heart, eh, Keith ? ' ' There was no response, and Keith was silent for A few moments. When he did speak, it was only to ask shortly, “Say, Williams, how long will you be in this neck of the woods, and how did you get here anyhow?” “Well, you are a polite one,” laughed Sam good-naturedly, “asking a fe llow to leave before he gets his breath. But, to tell you the truth, I know just how I got here, for the roads were fierce — something tough on my car, and I had two blowouts on the way. No, sit still, old man, you can’t have a spin till morning, when we will make it to the city.” “Aw, say, Sam, you don’t mean it! Did I hoar you say city, and do you mean the city ?” “Yes, to be sure, the city, and the very college where the ‘sweetest Rose in Dixie’ resides,” teased Sam, who was also a roommate and, therefore a confidant by natural right. lie knew the number of times a week that Rose wrote to Keith and he also knew when the expected letter had failed to come, for on such occasions his friend’s usual buoyant spirits were at lowest ebb, and nothing would console Keith but a confidential talk with Sam on the subject nearest his- heart. Now seemed as good a time as any for confidence, so knocking the ashes out of his pipe, he re-filled it and tilted a little further back in his chair. Sam knew tin symptoms, so was silent until Keith lx gan. “Look here, Sam, this business is getting on my nerves! You know I’ve just gotten to the point where I’ve either got to see the little lady or fiing up the job.” He paused, and Sam put in a word of encouragement. 96 ]HLX X_J “But if you were to see that same little lady for a couple of hours, you could cultivate two farms in less time than it takes to tell it, eh?” “You catch my meaning exactly,” answered Keith, nodding his head emphatically. “Why, two farms wouldn’t l e a circumstance. The neighbors would have to put up fences to keep me from plowing their land. Somehow the little lady can give a fellow energy.” “If that’s all you need, my friend,” said Sam with a chuckle, we’ll run up in the morning and make a call on the college. I’ll keep the remainder of the ladies quiet while you entertain the fairest Hose. Is that the idea?” And so it was, that the very next night found Keith Brown and Rose Grant ley lost to the world in one corner of the college parlor, while Sam Williams and Nell Brady, in another corner, made rapid strides towards acquaintance. “Why is it, Rose, that whenever I talk to you 1 am anxious to be at work ? Why have you always inspired me to work?” Keith was asking, foolishly forgetting the four colleges and his past record. But, for some strange and providential reason, love has a convenient memory, and so Rose really believed that Keith was speaking the truth, and, be it said to his credit, Keith thought he was sincere. “But aren’t you working too hard, Keith?” she ventured, with an anxious pucker on her forehead. “Sometimes I get so worried thinking about you plowing, and — and the sun must be awfully hot. Don’t you hate plowing, Keith ?” she ended a little foolishly. Keith squared his shoulders and looked at the huge hunch of red roses Rose was wearing. II is eyes brightened, and a gleam of manly pride lighted his face as he said, “To tell you the truth, little girl, it feels good to know I can buy things for you with my own money. I’d be willing to plow forever if you hut said the word. Six months on the farm hasn’t been in vain, and I rather think my father realizes that fact, for he has turned the hank account over to me now.” Keith paused to note the effect his work had produced upon Rose, hut she was very busy tying little knots in the corners of her handkerchief and would not look at him. lie forgot that he was in the college parlor and that Sam and Nell were in the opposite corner; he forgot everything except that he loved Rose and that she had to listen to him. “Rose, little girl — ” he had taken her hands in his even in the moment that they were trying to make another knot in the tiny handkerchief. “Say, 97 r Rose, I’ve been trying to prove mv mettle and show you that I could work. Won’t you trust me now, and don’t you love me — enough to marry me?’ Ho had said it, and now he was afraid to look at Bose. When he did, he saw that there were tears in her eyes, those eyes that seemed made but for him to read their depths. Rose was making a hard fight with herself, but. she was no coward, and she had been moved by the new look of strength in Keith’s face. She felt that to do now as he asked would be but to disappoint the new Keith, and so, looking straight at him, determination and love each struggling for the mastery, she said simply, “Keith, I love you too well to do as you now ask. Let me first finish college and “prove my mettle.” Keith knew that she was sincere, and he was content. Annie Dickey, ’13. !)8 PplXj x; ux] A Glimpse Into the Hereafter S no one can be held responsible for what happens in a dream, 1 am going to relate one I had a few nights ago, and if anybody finds anything that does not please him in this narration, remember that I gave fair warning. It seemed that 1 died and went to Heaven. Instead of St. Peter at the gate, however, onr president, Mr. Jenkins, stood guard, and insisted that no one should enter the city who, upon leaving earth, had not provided himself with the noblest character that money could buy. With the same justice that he had always exercised in the days at Wesleyan, he willingly let me pass in. Just inside the gate, I saw a group of girls talking excitedly, and 1 recognized them as members of my old Virgil class. When I inquired what the excitement was they asked, “Why, haven’t you heard about Miss Mason and Mr. Forster?” Upon my answering in the negative, they said “Cfesar was so pleased with their teaching of his language at Wesleyan that he has persuaded them to form a sort of triumvirate with him.’’ “There is Mr Forster now.” Yes, it really was our old friend. He was acting as Caesar’s body-guard, and saw that no one who had failed to master Freshman Latin should touch His Majesty’s imperial toga. After strolling around for a while, we saw Mrs. Hudgins. She did not seem to be enjoying her usual good health, and no wonder, when we learned what she had been through with. It seemed that Lucifer, hearing of her success in the culinary department at Wesleyan, insisted that she belonged to his kingdom. When told, however, that she had roasted meat and frozen cream in the same stove (a tireless cooker), Satan fell back appalled. We were very sorry to hear of tin ill fortune of three of our teachers. We feared that Mrs. Burks, Miss Lewis, and Mr. Graham would never enter Heaven, as they had been appointed such difficult tasks to perform before they could be admitted. Mrs. Burks’ task was to record all the angry words that she had caused girls to say by refusing to let them entertain, sometimes their own. but oftener somebody else’s, brother. Miss Lewis had to count the tears of all the girls she had failed, and Mr. Graham had to erase all the criticisms with which he had disfigured the themes of his classes. 99 Mr. Hinton passed near us, and it was with difficulty that we recognized him as our easy-going 1VI atli professor. Indeed, he looked like a familiar garment after a painful renovation. Some one explained to us that when he left earth, Mrs. Hinton, with loving care, had dressed him in the same clothes that he had worn when, as a hoy, he had paid that eventful first-call, made that interesting ( ?) remark about “the-er- weather,” and withdrawn. Knowing what a staunch supporter of Mr. Daniel Mr. Hinton had always been, we inquired from him as to our bachelor professor’s whereabouts. Mr. Hinton sadly shook his head. “Girls,” said he, “although we left earth together, he loitered on the wayside with a group of girls, still trying to get them to give him a date.” This was discouraging. We might have felt that Wesleyan was losing lieu reputation had we not just then learned of the success of Miss Bachman and Miss Grote, respectively. Everybody was so delighted with Miss Bachman’s voice that it was a question of considerable dispute as to whether she or Gabriel should sound tlu trumpet on the final day. Miss Grote, on account of her popularity at Wesleyan, had been unanimously chosen to referee an “inter-celestial” basket-ball game. I had never thought that envy could enter the walls of Paradise, but it evidently did; for what was mv surprise to hear that the rest of the music teachers, — namely, Misses Lin, Greenup, White, Sharp, Bancroft, Emmert, Barnett, and Mrs. Shinholser, jealous of Miss Bachman’s success, had organ- ized a rag-time band and chosen Dr. Brown as their director. Miss Tomlinson had usurped the place of the Recording Angel, and now she attended to tin books, assisted by Miss Armand and Mrs. Posey. As soon as we learned of Mr. Smith’s arrival, we went to ask him about his scientific brother, Mr. Quillian. He told us, “I tried my best to sell Mr. Quillian a ticket, but Ik insisted that if Ik followed his manual carefully he would reach Heaven safely.” And here was Mrs. Comer! We evidently showed our surprise at seeing her there, but she said, shrugging her shoulders, “Oh, yes, I’ve been here quite a while. In fact, 1 came while St. Peter kept tin gate. At first he didn ' t want to let me in because I corrected examination papers on Sunday, but when 1 told him about the time danced with the Swedish Ambassador he apologized profusely.” We learned that Mrs. White had a hard time getting past His Satanic Majesty. He insisted that, as she had so many times cheated him out of his 1(10 £H33 JKJLTLZ f rightful prey by doctoring the girls at Wesleyan, she now should suffer for her misdeeds. We asked her about Mrs. Powell, and she told us that everything was in «uch confusion when she left that our housekeeper would not leave until everything had been carefully put in order. But what means this vast crowd? We approached nearer and saw a man whom we recognized as Solomon. lie was descending from his lofty pedestal of wisdom, and, taking off his crown, he placed it on — yes, it was Mr. Rosser’s head, and led him up the steps and seated him on his throne. Thousands marvelled at his thoughtful utterances, and all agreed that lie rightfully deserved Solomon’s place. We wondered where our Special Teachers were — Misses Rivers and Wallace and Mrs. Long. We learned that .Miss Wallace’s eloquence had astonished even Demosthenese and Cicero, and that she was giving them lessons in oratory. Miss Rivers and Mrs. .Long had been requested to gild all the harps and crowns that had rusted from both disuse and abus e. But who is this familiar figure? We recognized our former teacher, Miss Hall, looking scarcely less happy than on that memorable night when she became Mrs. Hazard. But no wonder that she is so proudly happy. Mr. Hazard is receiving congratulations for having just completed a passage- way from Mars to Heaven — a most remarkable feat of engineering. Mrs. Hazard suggested that we cross over to Mars on this bridge, and we accepted her invitation. About midway of the bridge my foot slipped. I felt myself slipping, slowly slipping, downward, and awoke to the realization of the fact that 1 had better devote some of my waking hours to this same Faculty. Lillian Lewis, ’15. 101 ‘KLUXf The Magic Picture IIP] late afternoon sun had left the valleys and hillside meadows in purpling shadows and had centered its rays on the crest of an overlooking mountain. It reveled in the creamy-white blossoms of a clump of alien pear trees under which sat a boy of seventeen, and finally looked the youth straight in the eyes and aroused him from a painful reverie. His eyes were full of discontent, and upon his features lay an expression of dejection. A basket rested on the ground nearby, patiently holding brushes, palette, and paints, which for hours had been untouched. The boy picked up the basket now and emptied its contents on the ground. There were two palettes before him. One was a small square of cedar which had been cut and planed with a jack-knife; the other was smooth-varnished and store-bought. There lay, also, whittled brushes and liottles and tin cans contain- ing colored juices of herbs and berries which, in days but shortly past, had hap- pily served the purpose of the young artist. On the other hand, here were new, store-bought palettes, brushes and paints which had lately been given to him along with tempting glimpses into the fields of Elysium — the distant cities, where dwelt great artists. The untutored boy-artist contrasted the materials before him and scorned, now, the crude cedar palette and brushes which had formerly been his joy. He no longer found it possible to produce beautiful colors with the berry juices. Yet it was with these, his own productions, that his pictures, the glory and pride of his mother, had been painted. At the thought of his fond and gentle mother, the hoy’s gaze wandered to the valley below, where nestled a small cabin with surrounding gardens, alone on the hillside meadow. The distant figure of a woman could l e seen gliding about among the flowers in tin garden, and at sight of her the boy groaned miserably and turned his back upon the cabin. Far down the mountain, in the opposite direction, lie could see a shack, the doors and windows of which were hung with skins of animals. Then dwelt the boy’s tempters; there dwelt the disturbers of his happy, care-free life, though they were the givers of the store-bought paints. These givers were men who had come from tin city to spend weeks in the mountains hunting. They had come across the boy, sitting on the mountain 102 £ 1HL TJ JKLLTJ 3Cf sides, in the valley, or beside a brook, painting — always painting. They had been guided bv him about the mountain, had been saved from danger through his warning, and they had come to like him. It was when they had discovered the artist in the boy that they invited him to their shack and told him alluring tales and facts about the city. They gave him a vision of himself exalted among fellow-artists in a great city. Each time he left them, the boy went away from the shack asking himself why lie could not go now — this day — out of tlu mountains and begin a life of fame. And each time the barrier of poverty rose higher before him. Money had never meant anything more than a name to him before. Now, it was fast becoming an idol. lie became discontented and thought of nothing but how he might obtain enough money to take him to the nearest city. He knew nothing of the fact that his unselfish widowed mother had been toiling and jealously saving money for years in order that she might send her son to the city to become a great artist. And her task was almost finished. She grew happier each day, and would soon tell her boy of her plans. But the boy sitting upon the mountain top grew more discontented every minute, lie had no ears now for his former friends, the quails, gleaning in the stubble of freshly-cut grain, and whistling from the zigzag fences around him. And the gold-tinted clover blossoms no longer stirred his artist soul. He looked toward the shack where the hunters were moving about in preparation for a night’s hunt, and made a resolution. Thereupon he got up and moved further down the mountain side out of sight of his mother’s little cabin, and nearer the hunter’s shack. With bowed head and set face the boy descended the mountain until he came to a grassy plot from which he could see every movement of the hunters and the whole interior of the shack. Here lie threw himself on the ground to wait the departure of the hunters, and laid his simple plans. A bag of money, more money than the boy had ever seen before, was kept by the hunters in a gun-case on the wall of the shack. The bov had seen them take it out of its hiding-place many a time, but it had never seemed within his reach before. How easy it would be, he now reflected, to slip into the shack when the hunters left, take the bag of money and flee to the city! With a pang he thought of his mother, but he told himself that he would soon be famous, and rich enough to come back and get her. He had brought the picture down from the mountain — the one which the hunters had said would serve him as a pass in the great studio. He set it up 103 before him and sprawled out on the grass. His plans were laid in detail now, and lie would not have to wait long for the hunters to leave, for it was getting dark. The boy closed his eyes to dream of the bright future before him, but the world would not seem to take on the veil of illusion and hope as formerly. The moon rose over the mountain and Hooded the valley with a pale white light. It touched the picture on the grass caressingly, and under its rays the figures thereon became living things. Smoke curled from the chimney of the little cabin and a sweet-faced woman was tending flowers on the porch before it. There, was peace and love. Ilut the boy looked toward the shack whence came a loud hissing, spurning sound. Out of the doorway came a shining figure. It jin gled with every step, and hastened up the mountain side . As it neared the boy he saw that it was a white sack, walking on stilts. It brushed past him and its touch burnt him. Now it stopped before the cabin, jumped off the stilts and, with a jingle and mighty hiss, burst out in flames and hurled them at the woman on the porch. She uttered no cry, but with a look of despair and pain sank in the white flames. The fire-spirit danced and jingled with a hissing laugh, while he watched his work. A groan fell from the lips of the boy. The light of the flames blinded him and he put iiis hands over his eyes. When lie took them away, all was quiet. He looked toward the shack. It was empty and tin hunters were gone. Then he turned to the picture beside him. The moonlight lay white upon it. and a smiling woman beckoned him from the porch. “I am coming, mother, never to stray so far from you again,” cried the boy, picking up the picture. And with a shudder la turned his back upon the shack, and hastened over the mountain, homeward.

W. C. A. Cabinet If i IJ _ KLU x;t 9 Sketch of Y. W. C. A. Work at Wesleyan Aim : To bring girls to Christ; to train up girls in Christ ; to. send out girls for Christ. The Young Women’s Christian Association is a very active force in the College. It endeavors to include in its membership every girl in the College household; to make the religious life of vital importance and interest to each one of them while in school, and to send them out to bless and enrich the world. Regular vesper services, led by different numbers of the Association, are held each evening in the Y. W. C. A. Hall; and besides these, special programs are arranged for Saturday evenings and for any special occasion, such as Thanksgiving. One Saturday evening in each month is given to the Missionary Society, and one in each quarter to the Temperance Committee, a department just recently introduced into the Young Women’s Christian Association. There is also a social side to the work, the purpose of which is to make the College life brighter and happier; to help the new girls especially to learn to feel at home in the College, and to help all the girls to know each other better. To accomplish this purpose, informal affairs, to which all are invited, are always held soon after the opening of the school, and then, occasionally, at other times during the year. The Cabinet meets regularly each Sunday evening to plan for the work and to discuss any matters of interest to the Association. At these meetings reports from the various committees are heard, and God’s blessing and guidance in the work are asked. 112 « L ' L- Missionary Society [im : To get every girl interested in missions, through mission study and talks of great mission leaders.
