Yet in our college life one voice we know Whose inspiration makes each listener feel That by each stumbling block, each little woe, We are brought nearer to the true ideal. That life is beautiful and God is good, And all experience is but strengthening food, For whose inspiring guidance we express Our real thanksgiving and indebtedness, From start of college days until the end, A noble woman and our truest friend. 7 James H.

A few evenings ago, in a town quite well known, I went to a dance—pray excuse that sad moan, I was thinking of how they all turned them aside When I said 1 would Boston, would waltz, or would glide They showed me some sort of a new combination. They seemed anxious to do it, tho’ ’twas called Hesitation. They did some slow walking and said it was fine To talk Suffrage for men while you danced the Grape-Vine. The steps in the Fish Walk and the Kiss Waltz I tried, And then learned the dip in that grand Subway Glide. But I said to my partner a weary “Guess not” When he asked if I’d care to learn how to Horse Trot. 38 39 Grace McInerney, President President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer . . . jreniov Class, 1914 ........................GrA CE M cl N ERN EY .........................Marion Maurer .............................Louise Dose ..........................Anne Robertson Natalie Baldwin Lilian Bar-shod Edna Boragan Florence Burling Marie Dose Mildred Foster Florence Gentler Dorothy Goette Helen Griffen Edith Gyslers Gertrude Halsey Mary Henderson Emma Herrschaft Lillie Johnson Lilian Jones Mabel jLapridge Lilian Lewkowitz Lucy McCornack Grace McInerney Alice Maicr Marion Mauer Eleanor Meade Kathleen Mills Helen Nostrand Marion Overton Rose Quinlan Ruth Rauch fuss Sadie Robertson Leila Rogers Mabel Ross Mildred Schaefer Bertha Schuldice Lilian Sprague Jennie Stern feld Helen Terrill Marie Voehl Marjorie Wentworth Grace West 41 Acnts Shannon.

How weak; how shy; how modest and quiet was she; but she soon overcame this, more especially after the warm welcomes given her by Dr. Cadman and dear Miss Harvey. As Junior Normals we were launched into the Froebelian methods and plans of Kindergarten work; and when we met for the first time for games, felt quite at home. The dignified and austere Seniors met with us for games but we soon became better acquainted, especially after we were treated so royally to the ice cream cones by the Seniors. The latter were very kind and polite to us; but gradually as Hallowe'en drew near treated us less friendly. How terrified and frightened we were as dreadful forebodings of the Hallowe’en initiation party drew near. The ghostly poster with its advice of wearing “naught but washable goods,” added its share of awe. The day arrived; and. frightened and huddled together we were crowded into Room 1, to await our fate. One by one our names were called by a ghostly clad Senior, and our trials began. Nevertheless we found the ordeal not nearly as bad as we had expected it to be. We hopped like frogs, made speeches, sang songs, and did other “stunts,” but soon ’twas over, and everyone had survived—mirable dictu! Now came the delight- ful part of the affair, namely, the refreshments, and we did our full duty by these. Then came the Senior toast to our class and their class song, to which we responded nobly by “Talk About the Fame of Any Junior Class” and “We Are the Junior Normal Class.” Each Junior did her best, and when at the close of the party we finished with “At the Close of This Party,” sung to the tune of “A Happy Day Now to You,” every- one declared she had had a delightful time. The next event of importance was the return party to the Seniors which we Juniors carefully planned for Thanksgiving. This being our first party, we were anxious to have it a decided success, and it was. Everyone enjoyed themselves greatly. Christmas was coming, and a joint Christmas party was planned between the Juniors and Seniors. Each one received a present from some member of her class, the gift representing a knock. The special feature of the occasion was a Christmas story told by Miss Harvey, in the way that only our Miss Harvey can tell stories. One could have heard a pin drop (quite unusual for noisy 1914). for we all were charmed by the beautiful story of the “Great Walled Country.” But now our examinations came in their turn. How we “crammed” for them, but happily passed them! The new term brought new work and more of it, but. banded together, we pushed on and on. Spring was coming, and with it came gardening under Miss Gaines’ supervision. Such sturdy and persevering farmers as we were! 44 raele Nevertheless, with all our studies, we found time to attend the de- lightful theatre party of the Normal Students’ Association. We were much pleased with the enjoyable musical comedy of The Sunshine Girl” at the Knickerbocker Theatre, New York, and were all charmed by dainty, graceful Julia Sanderson. Moreover, we Juniors gave a most delightful dance at the Hotel Bossert. Notwithstanding the inclement weather, this affair was very well attended, and proved an excellent success. The time now drew near for our sister class to bid farewell to Adel- phi. The Juniors again planned a farewell party to the Seniors, and gave them a happy time to remember. The warm sunshine had brought the sunny June days, and our first year at Adelphi was over. We were now to play the role of Seniors in the following year. To this we looked forward eagerly, especially since we were to get practice in teaching at various Kindergartens during the first six months of our second year. Bidding farewell to Adelphi and our classmates, we departed for our summer vacation. PART II. Gradually the summer drifted away and the cooler days of Septem- ber came before we truly realized that summer was over and that our studies were again calling back to Adelphi. But hark! What means this babel in Room 11? Do not be alarmed ; it is only the excited members of the Class of 1914, pretending to be grave and dignified Seniors. They have returned from their summer vacations and are exchanging experiences as they make out the pro- gram for the new semester’s work. Great excitement is caused over experiences many arc having practice teaching, and much fun is aroused by different stories of children in the various Kindergartens where the Seniors are teaching. The new semester began in earnest, and we. as Seniors, set diligently to work on the various duties of the term. Work, for graduation is coming,” seemed to be our motto. Yet, though there was a great deal to accomplish, time was set aside for the Hollowe’en party, at which glorious moment we hazed the Junior Normals thoroughly. That was quite a feat in itself, for there were only fifty-one Juniors to deal with. Afterwards we tried to make things up by giving the martyrs a good spread. If the Juniors had as much fun as we did, why then every- body had a fine time. Back again to our former sedateness? we Seniors fulfilled our daily tasks with fortitude, endeavoring to prove to the admiring Juniors what excellent examples of wisdom and learning we were. We certainly must have made an impression, for, just before Christmas, the Juniors gave us a delightful party which was called a “Search for Santa Claus,” fol- lowed by a “perfectly dandy” collation. We. who went, certainly had a “scrumptious” time and greatly appreciated the work of our Junior sis- ters in giving us such a happy afternoon. 45 But here let me pause. At this time, one of our classmates, who had been ill at home for some time, passed away to the Land Beyond. An atmosphere of sadness spread throughout our class. Little Alice Maier would never return to continue her studies with us here on earth. Nor could her place be filled. We cannot forget her, although we know that she is far happier now than we can ever be here below. Therefore shall we all strive to keep ourselves in the middle of the way, trying our best to live in true brotherly love with all mankind, so that when the call comes- for us, we shall be ready to go to join our friends Above. And so we press on. January Semestrals are over, and we are now in the last Semester of our course. Our thoughts are centered on grad- uation. Our charming Students’ President, Grace Quinlan, has be- come a victim of Cupid’s darts, and has left us, to be married in the early spring. The rest of us, however, are looking forward to that day when we shall become full-fledged Kindergartners. Then it will be our task to ever work among those little folks who seem so near the King- dom. Let us not therefore forget our responsibilities in sowing the right seeds of truthfulness, helpfulness and loving kindness in the little hearts of those who come under our control, so that they grow up into better and stronger men and women for having been under our guidance. 4r. in Homing ittcmonj of Slltcc 3foscpl)tne JEatei The Normal Class of 1914 wish to inscribe the following tribute in the 1915 number of the Oracle, in testimony of the deep sorrow in which they regard the death of their beloved classmate, Alice Josephine Maier. From the formation of the class, Alice Maier manifested a deep interest in its affairs. Her many excellent qualities of mind and heart endeared her to a large circle of friends, and established her in the highest esteem of the Senior Class. Her sudden death in the midst of her activity and at the beginning of her chosen career, brings the loss home to every mem- ber of the class as that of a close personal friend. 47 91s tf)e jEUl rtntis 1315 Nathalie Baldwin “For every season she has dresses fit For winter, spring and summer.” Lillian Barshad “Music is the universal language of womankind.” Edna Bragaw “The maiden to whom her work was all in all.” Florence Burling ’Twould more natures were like thine That never casts a glance behind.” Louise Dose There’s honesty, cleverness and good fellowship in her.” Mildred Foster “Still water runs deep.” Dorothy Goette “If words came as readily as ideas, and ideas as feelings, we could say ten thousand kind things of thee.” Helen Griefin Oh, what may maid within her hide, Tho’ angel on the outward side” (especially if she hath bewitching eyes). 48 Mary Henderson “America is my stopping place, but England is my home.” Em m a H errschaft “None knew thee but to love thee, Nor named thee but to praise.” Lillie Johnson “Not stepping o’er the bonds of modesty.” Mabel Lapidge “Rich in good works.” Lilli a n Lew k o w i tz “And a very nice girl you’ll find.” Marion Maurer “She is pretty to walk with, And witty to talk with, And pleasant, too, to think on.” Grace McInerney “The rude sea grew civil at her song.” Eleanor Meade “Laughter greases the axles of the world.” Kathleen Mills “Whence is thy learning?

I. Introduction A. Origin of Question. One day, as Dr. Mosher was conducting a distinguished visitor down the Adelphi corridor, the visitor stopped outside of Room 9 and, hearing a gentle murmur from within, asked, “Is the Giinese method of study employed here ?” B. Definition of Terms Used. By a “running conversation” I mean the tonal background, supplied by the mingled voices of the students, for the straining voice of the in- structor. It varies in volume with the loud or soft voice of the instructor, thus resulting in the effect of one of Mr. Damrosch’s new anthems. C. Statement of the Issue. I believe that students should keep up a running conversation during class recitations, because it is beneficial to the students, to the instructors, and to the College. II. Body of Brief A. A loud buzz in the classroom is beneficial to the students, for:— (1.) It helps those who wish to listen to the instructor, because they must persistently concentrate all their attention upon every word he speaks. It is consequently a greater victory when they do retain a few crumbs of the instructor’s teachings that have been sifted through the hubbub made by the rest of the class. (2.) it aids this other faction also, for:— (a) It is good physically, for it increases their lung power, because the student who makes the most noise is best heard. (b) It is good socially, for, through daily practice it develops their conversational ability. This will be an invaluable social asset and, since none of these garrulous students will be able to pass examinations on account of inattention at recitations, each one will be only too glad to discontinue the course and pursue a purely social career. (c) It is good educationally, for these students may spend their class time more profitably by discussing more vital current topics, such as the season’s fashions or the idiosyncrasies of their classmates. B. A loud buzz is beneficial to the instructors, for:— (1.) It develops their vocal organs even more than those of the students, because their single voices must pierce and overcome the babel. (2.) It enables them to re-act in more ways than one to their daily experiences, thus increasing their versatility in expressing disgust, pity, despair and disdain. 58 (3.) It develops their moral characteristics through patience, meek- ness,, steadfastness and long suffering C. A loud buzz in the classroom is beneficial to the College, for:— (1.) Fewer students will be graduated, with the result that the standing of Adelphi would be raised. (2.) A loud buzz will be financially beneficial to the College, for it will aid the endowment fund, for, on account of the diminishing of classes the College will save on the expense of issuing diplomas and on the appropriations for duplicate library books and for Kindergarten supplies. III. Conclusion Because of the above excellent and sufficient reasons, and consider- ing the fact that the Chinese are a hardy, healthy, intelligent race, noted for their lack of neurasthenics, the reader must obviously be convinced that the ancient Chinese method is the best and that the greatest benefit to the student body of Adelphi is an incessant murmuring buzz during class recitations. 59 % )t booing of 9ltjel $|)t Adel Phi was the name Of a beautiful Japanese maid, whose fame Had gone from end to end of the land Where the wonderful Buddhist temples stand; In Brookolyna and Tokyo There wasn’t a youth who didn’t know That of all fair maids in the lovely isle Adel Phi was first in style, First in knowledge, beauty and grace, And beyond an equal in birth and race. She had turned off suitors—a dozen score— Yet she reveled still in Beau Brummels galore. But only two of the best in the land Had the ghost of a chance for her dainty hand. And the only question was which young man— Poly Tec or Pra Tee? It was hard for Adel Phi to choose Which to accept, and which to lose. To-day she would fix upon Poly Tec. While to-morrow Pra Tee would come, And cause her changeable brain to hum With thinking hard, by night and by day Which of her lovers to send away. Which prince to accept and bid to stay. But all of a sudden Prince Pra Tee By a marvelous stroke of strategee Knocked out for ever his adversaree. For on a morning in Merrie May When the apple blooms dropped in his way He presented himself, did Prince Pra Tee As a specimen of a new Japanee On his head was a glossy stove pipe hat, And a six-inch collar under that. A bob-tail coat, and a tango vest With a great puff-scarf on his manly chest. And on his legs you could see at a glance His would-be trousers which really were “pance. Thus everything in this wondrous rig Was either too little or else too big. And the waddling gait that that Japanee struck. Would have doubtless charmed a muscovy duck. 60 Adel Phi, however, fell at his feet, And said, “My deah, you are just too sweet!” In his arms he clasped her, and led her along Amid the loud cheers of the pressing throng To a castle built on a startling plan, Which he stated was quite American— A brownstone front, five stories high— The ugliest thing that money could buy. And there, rigged out in a Paris creation, Garranteed to stir up an unwonted sensation, The noble Adel Phi by Prince Pra Tee led Walked to the church and was honorably wed. Claims Up and down the halls we flit, Tessie, Jessie and I, And slowly crunch on, bit by bit, A lady finger parched and dry. The Seniors reach their hands for it, The Sophomores groan, the Freshmen cry, As up and down the halls we flit, Tessie, Jessie and I. They watch us as we skip along, Heedless of their hungry cry. We start not at their famished looks Or flash of- threatening irony. We have no thought of any wrong. They scan us with suspicious eye, As up and down the halls we skip, Tessie, Jessie and I. 61 62 eo rt §5 tutient0 Grace A. Bacon Ethel L. Baker Ethel L. Bale May Bell J. L.

Face as fine as any etching,— Darling man, I fear I bore you, Yet, dear heart, I do adore you.

And I gaze with visage mournful At this manly wonder, scornful Of my saccharine devotion, Of my ill-concealed emotion. Yet, alas! strive as I can, I love the Arrow Collar Man.

Can you help me in this difficulty? Yours in suspense, Josephine M. Yes, Josephine, we think you are correct in your belief. But how did you ever guess it? Dear Editor:— There is a certain young lady in the Junior Class on whom I have a mad, desperate crush. Would you advise me to attempt to gain her love by a ticket to the Orpheum? I can neither eat nor sleep for the passion that consumes me. Nut. Dear Nut:— While deeply sympathizing with you, we do not think an Orpheum ticket would accomplish the? desired result. The young lady in question has seen every vaudeville show ever put on the boards. Try and wait until there’s a good show at the Crescent. 70 Dear Editor:— Fm having an awful lime with Economics and I am afraid Fll flunk.

Dear Desperate :— How little you know of the ways of man! All these things, having been tried by generations of classes, pall on him. An entirely new idea is to concentrate on the text-book. It might help some. Dear Editor:— At the time of the 1915-1917 Wedding, I, being cast in the part of a man, borrowed a coat, vest and other necessities from a youth of my acquaintance. Now this youth may in the future invite me to the theatre. Would it be modest of me to accept? Louise H. Don’t worry, Louise. He may, and then again he may not. If he does, the sleeve will feel familiar, having had the entire coat around you before. Dear Editor:— I love to write poetry. All my life I have been coaxing my stubborn muse. I enclose a sample. Do you think it a successful attempt? L. R. S. “The sun does shine on old A. C, Does shine both good and bright; But when it sparkles in my face It does impair my sight.” Dear L.:— Your poem is excellent. But the style, being a combination of James Whitcomb Kipling, John Reilly, Rudyard Milton and other medieval bards, is rather mixed.

The newsboys, they contend, under- stand the modern trend, but the theorist’s an abomination. College graduates, they say, woeful ignorance display when they’re called on lo discuss things up-to-date. They appear much more at home in affairs of Greece and Rome than in the history of their own State. If “Round Table” members they should meet they’d acknowledge their defeat in dealing with the problems “du jour.” They can talk, oh, yes, they can, on the “Dial” or the “Bookman” with a knowledge that would startle you, ‘tis sure. They discuss with equal ease newest fashions, tango-teas, modern menu and affairs of government. Only mention “modern drama” if you want to start a clamor of fiery dissension elo- quent. Greedy managers, beware! Sordid playwrights, take care! of theses maidens’ just and awful ire! On your hash they’ve placed a ban, they’ll boycott it, if they can.

The meetings are held semi-monthly, Et nous parlous toujours frangais; If you should have doubt of this statement, Just ask Monsieur Maloubier. One day we most killed ourselves jumping About in a ludicrous game That one of the girls had suggested, “Le roi est venu” was its name. And then, Oh what do you think happened? The Frenchman a ghost story told. He was awfully afraid we’d be frightened When its mysteries he should unfold. Every eye was fixed on the speaker, Not a girl of them moved in her place. Looks of horror, mystery or amusement Were reflected in each listening face. When the Frenchman had finished the story, He laughed loud and long at the joke. All the girls, overcome with the humor, I auzhed till echoes the stillness awoke; But after the meeting was over And they all in the hall wandered out, Not one of them but asked this question, “Say, what was that story about?” 104 II iiya rien de change en France: II n'ya qit'un Frangais de plus’' Honorary President President...........

Its goal is the under- standing of the spirit of Italy. To help on this purpose, the members are studying the culture, art, science and literature, and music in its sense of literature, of Italy. Later on they may also study Italian history as made by Garibaldi, Mazzini, and Cavour. The Societa Leonardo chose for its representative Italian, a man brilliant and prominent in all these fields of culture, Leonardo da Vinci, from whom they take their name. They have subscribed to a monthly magazine, “Italia ’ which prom- ises to be of great help and interest in the Italian course itself, as well as in the Societa. It is a delightful paper, full of stories and articles, not too difficult for our young Italian vocabulary and abounding in helpful and charming pictures and illustrations. 108 «ocina jlcouaviio ju.'.'-iii'u- 'H -. ia� «JiJMi Dr. Bruno Roselli .

He’s not to preach A sermon, nor to essay Flights of imagery. But give a talk, nice and plain, ’Bout defectives, aliens, or the insane.

Before one of these performances, a glowing enthusiasm pervades Adelphi. This exalts our spirits to such a degree that we forget every- thing—even our lessons. The Fire of the Muse is kindled in us, and then how we act. The Amazons of old never possessed such a jury as last year pronounced that unbiased decision divorcing that poor little chappy. This jury full of wisdom, beauty, wit, etc., was the cynosure of all eyes (in the audience). Of course the pleading lawyers far surpassed Portia, and to one versed in the art of analyzing the causes of natural phenomena it was easily perceived that the judge’s rap for silence was daily strength- ened by playing basketball. It might seem incongruous for such a worthy company to dance, but the wise ones tell us the nymphs danced on all occasions, so these, being true to their nymphian nature, danced too. But tho’ they did well, they found it hard to surpass that elusive thing called a reputation. This reputation had 'been created some time before by a troop of spunky Two-Year-Olds (Read the note). No one had seen any men enter or exit that day at Adelphi (except our worthy Faculty, and Clarence who came to sit in the gallery) but never- theless some fourteen sang and danced at our Song Recital. Perhaps their silk hats were perched rather high on their heads and their mus- taches were rather wobbly but they were MEN all right! Then a couple of ghosts nearly scared us out of our wits and haunted the place for weeks afterward. The boards of the stage disagreed inter se as to whether there was any dancing that night or not, so light was the touch of our elfin feet across the stage. At least one worthy prima donna ap- peased our esthetic sense; whatever can be said of the rest of the music in general, it created many smiles, and since it is the chief function of music to create happiness it must have fulfilled its function. The shining hope of what these things might be ever haunts us; but, like the man in the song, we have neither the time nor the money. All we can do is to shake our heads like the New York managers, and cynically remark how low public taste is becoming, while we slightly loosen the bands of “ever trying to seek that which will impart culture, education, refinement” and treat our friends to a good Irish. Scotch, or Negro song, warbled with full-throated ease gained by daily cheering around the halls.

Why a year ago October, when They gave 16” her wake Most everybody laughed and clapped And said “That takes the cake! Why that's the finest fun’ral that’s Been given in these parts. To see' those mourners and that ghost My word—it wrung our hearts!” And when they teased the Freshmen Hallowe’en night, well, I bet ’Twas the finest hazing party held Here at Adelphi yet. The next big thing that happened was The Christmas Tea they gave. When anybody speaks of that Oh yes—of course they rave. The storm outside was awful, but The Study Hall was bright With its spicy decorations, and Its warm red Christmas light. No one tho’t of being formal, But talked and laughed and ate; And the whole affair tho’ smaller than They’d hoped, was still “Just great!” For weeks the Play Committee and The Class worked on the show. “ ’Twill be a Song Revue,” was all They’d let the public know. From the moment when the curtain on The fairy garden rose, Till it fell on Dreamland people in A chorus at the close, The audience seemed to like it, and We can’t exactly tell— Was it to the ghosts or girls or to The handsome men they fell? But one thing more remained upon Their catalogue of fun--- A party to the seniors—then Their Sophomore year was done. Exams—yes—but of course they shone In these pure pleasures too— I’m awfully glad I’m in that class.

There must be millions belong to your crew; For wherever I’m riding I see you. And I ask—Will I hear in some fairer clime, “Add hot water and serve—six plates for a dime.” Cfjtngs Wt 2£oult Htfee to lutoto What the Latin department did with that one photograph it had taken at Sarony’s, and why it had that same photograph taken “under protest”? Why, oh, why, somebody doesn’t suggest to the Economics depart- ment that its jokes are stale? Where chapel orators draw their stock supply of metaphors from? If the new rule in regard to cutting applies to the Faculty’s attend- ance in chapel? Whoever first put that simplified spelling bug into motion around here ? 144 Oracle une of le atjclpfjt 3luncf) %oom A lass there was, and she made her prayer (Even as you and I) To a lunch room lady with kinky hair. That she’d save her some of the lunch room fare. (Unaesthetic, she couldn’t exist on air, No matter how she try.) “Oh, dear!’’ she cried, with hungry eyes, (The lady never smiled), “Those profs, don’t realize how time flies, Nor the limit of lunch counter supplies, With those Academy youngsters attacking the prize.” (The lady seemed riled.) “There’s nothing left but soup and pie,” (The lassie heaved a groan), And a sandwich of ham that looks awful dry, Such a mixture’s enough to make one die. To digest such a mess I’ll not even try!” (That groan became a moan.) Then that lunch room damsel her temper lost (Even as you and I) And she treated the lass to an awful frost— For a fifteen-cent lunch she’d not be boss’t— The girl was the fussiest she’d come across’t, And did her patience try. So the hungry lass was moved to repent (Even as you and I). Since on stopping her hunger her mind was bent, She told the offended one no harm was meant, And she hoped her anger dire would relent And sell her that sandwich dry. Pretty Alumna, at Soph. Tea, eagerly looking for latest addition to Faculty:—“Where is that haughty, gallant, gay Lothario?” Blundering Frosh:—“You don’t mean Dr. M—n-y, do you?” Exit all but Caesar. 145 Slpologta $ro J otus We are well aware of the truth that “who excuses himself accuses himself,” and for that reason we would refrain from any apologies for our book. Yet there is something to be said, if not in excuse, then at least by way of explanation, to enable the reader to enter more fully into the spirit and aim of our endeavor. First, in the matter of knocks, we have spared neither Faculty nor Undergrads. This proceeds, not from any preconceived malice on our part, but rather from the sense of good-fellowship that has always existed among all who were connected with Adelphi. The faculty might object, possibly on the ground of not being able to retaliate. If so, we suggest that they edit an Oracle themselves—we’re that generous! We likewise plead guilty to a somewhat flippant treatment of certain clubs. As for the undergrads----- On our wit and humor modesty forbids any comment further than this: “We never dare to write as funny as we can.” So if the points of our jokes are not always in evidence, please to remember that we pur- posely veiled our scintilating brilliance, lest by its very perfection it offend. This Oracle contains fine verse—indeed, in some cases it might even be called poetry. The discovery of this talent in the college was quite by accident. “One fine day Says Mr. Mucklewraith to us, says he, So! you’ve poets in your college, and smiled. Poets? God forbid, we cried, and then It all came out; how our editors slyly sent Verse to the paper, how they printed it In the poet’s corner.” With such genius at our disposal it behooved us to include some of their unpremeditated (?) verse in our book, both for the delight of the reader and to carry down to coming ages a record of the genius now within our gates. The Board avails itself of this opportunity to thank those kind- hearted souls who have in any way aided us—in compiling statistics, securing advertisements or writing effusions. We thank the members of the faculty who gave their photographs for reproduction, especially those members of that august body who added promptness to the charm of generosity. And finally we thank the janitor for the extreme polite- ness with which he has ushered us out of the study hall when it was iong past time to close up and tired editors still were working away in the Junior corner. The Board has dared to hope that this Oracle would be favorably received. One thought comforts us—“there is probably no hell for editors in the next world, they suffer so much from critics in this.” Yet if the 1915 Oracle shall but serve to knit closer any of the ties that bind us to Adelphi, or in any way increase her fame, we shall think our- selves fully repaid for any trouble or woe our exalted positions have thrust upon us. 147 £ ur Woo jftf Breathes there a Senior, Soph or Frosh Who never to herself hath said, “Oh bosh, Why’s not the Junior Woo Fif our Mascot!” Whose hands have never itched and burned As toward him she her eyes hath turned, From fondling another homely trot! If such there live, go, gaze at her well, For when near her, your chest may duly swell: Though high be her marks, and proud her frat Boundless her wisdom, especially in Lat, Despite those high honors and everything else, Xo animal she loves excepting herself. She’s unhappy, we know it, because of her mean disposition, There really ought to be a new inquisition! To change her stone heart to one burning with fire That hereafter inspired by new vim and new ire, She'll exclaim with the Juniors who love him a lot Long Live Little Woo Fif 1915’s Mascot! n €d;o There are odes writ to blue eyes and sonnets to brown. And slim maidens one sees in a dream, But my trembling muse I now invoke To you, my lunch room queen. Your hair’s very kinky, your skin’s almost black, And your eyes lie aslant in your face, Yet Venus and Hebe are numbers far back When you stand in your lunch counter place. For although chocolate pudding and corn starch may pall. And the soup makes you gasp for your nerve. Yet a remedy’s lacking when twelve o’clock comes And we’re glad for the food that you se v«. 1-iX LL-. o uJ 3 o c± IU $ T°$lt A) iirer ;ee J)l Ethel Anderson— “Hozu cunning!” She came to us from parts un- known ; Like Jonah's whale we took her in; Yet not for us with all our charms Does Ethel really care a pin. Sara Baruch— “If I chance to talk a little wild —forgive me” So awful a jumble there is in her head She'll dispute everything that has ever been said. Life, Nature, Love, God, and af- fairs of that sort, She’s ideas on them all, every one— in short She views them as objects stuck round in a cabinet. 150 M A RG U ER IT E B EI IM A N- “Variety is the spice of life.” A quiet maid, demure, not gay. On first acquaintance seemeth Mae. “But what may man within him hide, Tho’ angel on the outward side!” Rose Marie Boenig— None but an editor-in-chief knows an editor-in-chiefs troubles.” A character reader of high degree, She’ll spot your short-comings whatever they be. If ever a positive statement you make, Quite likely the opposite side she’ll take. And if you don't want your faults put through their paces. For goodness’ sake—don't get in Rosa’s bad graces. 151 Ruth F. Caw “In a I kir werkes, vertu is hir gyde” Not warped by passion, awed by rumor, Not' grave thro’ pride, nor gay thro’ folly, An equal mixture of good humor And sensible soft melancholy. Elsie L. Copeman— “Her smiling was full, simple and coy” Her knowledge, hid from public gaze, She does not bring to view; Nor make a noise class meeting days As other people do. 152 Carrik E. Curtin— Motionless torrents, silent cata- racts.u Not by all our jokes and nonsense, Not by all our noise and clatter, Is her enthusiasm roused. What, think you, can be the mat- ter? Grace E. Grant— “I was born to other things ” Seldom she smiles, and smiles in such a sort As if she mocked herself, and scorned her spirit That could be moved to smile at anything. 153 Louise M. Hall— “Strength of arm and brawn I do adore.” I do not care to lend my book or pen, Or even let you smell my pretty flowers, You won’t dare when I’m in poli- tics, for then You’ll have respect for my offi- cial powers. Bertha C. Helm ken— “Deeper than e'er plummet sounded” She wastes no words. Nor doth expression show What of emotion riseth in her breast; And thus she moveth passionless, ’Part from the riotous throng. 154 Ida May Howard— “And what she sf okc, ’twas with authority” To keep herself from idleness, And flirting—those twin curses, She spent her leisure—more or less— In writing po-----, no verses. Marjorie Hunt— “Her for studious shade kind na- ture formed Step lively my ladies, and gentle- men, too. And gaze on the wonder who now meets your view. So wond’rous her learning, her wisdom so great, She can’t be reserved for an ordi- nary fate; For you’d travel afar on this mor- tal coil The equal to find of so learned a girl. 155 Florence J. I sen burger— “A head to contrive, a tongue to persuade, and a hand to exe- cute” She uses the hammer—her knocks we’ll agree For effectiveness need be no louder; But isn’t her weapon a bit obsolete For one who is so fond of powder? Dorthy V. Kennedy— “My resolution is to see foreign parts; I have set on't—and and when I’m set on't I must do’tr Dorothy has the wander-lust, Pines for foreign lands to see. Dorothy thinks that drowsy Brooklyn Is a stupid place to be. But we feel that we must tell her E’er she ’parts for far-off scenes, That they do not dance the Tango In the sunny Philippines. 156 Edna Kincaid— “I have had a most rare vision —I have had a dream past the wit of man to say what dream it was ' Colors gay mine eye do take, Purples and reds from sunsets sent. An artist I!—bright tints express What hum-drums lack—a tem- perament ! Janet Wylie McCracken— “Probably she knoivs a lot, pos- sibly not; Anyway, she seems to be wise The star of the unconquered will He rises in my breast. Serene, and resolute, and still, And calm, and self-possessed. 157 Rutii McCay— “The hardest thing for one to do is to keep quiet.” Does she Tango?—Mercy no Those dances are a sin! Does she talk?—My goodness yes Hear that awful din! Does she do, quite often, well, What other folks would botch? What’s the reason?—Idon’tknow— Perhaps it’s ’cause she’s Scotch. Louise C. Metzger— “Smiling always with never fad- ing serenity “Tell you what I like the bes’ Like to jes’ set down an’ res' An’ not work at nothin’ else.” 158 Louise Moller “She did nothing, and she did it well” If learning is by study won. Then sure, my task is never done. Let all who will cast an aspersion, I ’fess that work’s my pet aversion. Josephink Monaco— “Her gladness when she's glad; and her sadness when she’s sad; Are not in it with her madness when she's mad. If you would be our Josephine’s friend, Lectures on Italy hear without end. American customs the lady deplores, American husbands her highness abhors. But she’s of the old world and we’re of the new, And we’re all satisfied with our own point of view. 159 Mary O. O'Donnell— “When Irish eyes are smiling, sure they steal your heart away! Mary's collar is askew, Mary doesn't mind it; Mary’s belt’s unsettled, too. Never mind—she’ll find it. But a secret I’ll tell you, You’d like to hear it, maybe, Mary’s not a woman grown, But just a big-eyed baby. Madeline Ott— “The very pink of propriety! Where is the one who has the pow- er or skill To stem the torrent of sweet Made- line’s will? For if she will, she will, you may depend on’t; And if she won’t, she won’t, so there’s an end on’t. 160 Clarissa Pettit— “Mistress of herself, tho China fallr There's Clarissa, as quiet, as cool and as dignified As a smooth silent iceberg that never is ignified We wonder if she poses, or if she really knows How much grace, strength, and dig- nity lie in repose. Pearl W. Pignol— “Words of learned length and thundering sound.” Tis refreshing to old-fashioned people like me, To meet such a primitive pagan as she, In whose mind all creation is duly respected As a part of herself—just a little projected. 161 Estelle R. Price— “Lies ten nights awake carving the fashion of a new doub- let.” “I think the life of every lady Should be one continual playday— Balls and masquerades and shows.” Ruth Randall— “As long as I procure the votes zvhat are you going to say about it? Say !” With politics I have my play And over all I hold my sway. I plan my list for nomination In study hall, without sensation, My candidates are ne'er rejected; Electioneering gets 'em 'lected. My title from afar I cry, 1915's King-maker, I. 162 Vera Roscoe— Miriam Selss— “Deep-sighted in ideas ' I saw Miriam running wildly, Joy her very glance conveyed, “Where is —?” she shouted breath- less, “Oh, for her,—the grandest trade !” I saw Miriam running wildly, On her face a look of fear, As she passed me by she shouted, “I am chased—by an idea!” “Gayly the troubadour touched his guitar.” There's times when I’m unsocial es a stone, An' sort o’ suffercate ter be alone, I’m crowded jes ter think that folks is nigh An’ can’t bear nothin’ closer than the sky. 163 Rutii Shorter— “Better late than never.” We knockers discharging our duty Have willingly faced many dan- gers ; But just at this juncture we silent- ly pause, ’Cause it isn’t polite to roast strangers. Harriet Smith— “She has a unique affliction; she is called a sensible qirl.” She sits in a mystery calm and in- tense, And looks placidly round her with sharp common sense. She seldom declares what she thinks, but I guess That she sizes us up in her mind, none the less. 164 Ottilia Steiilin— “A sweet repose is her distinc- tion.” I never with important air In conversation overbear. My tongue within my lips I rein, For who talks much must talk in vain. Elsa Stumph— “Little, but—Oh dear!” Elsa’s awful string of questions, Would provoke a heavy frown, But her hair’s so bright and curly, And her eyes so soft and brown, That her way of acquiring knowl- edge Makes her popular at college. 165 Leah R. Sturdevant— 1 Clever in acting and managing plays. A leading lady in several ways. ’ ’ Who’s a weaver of romances, ’Bout handsome youths and happy dances, Who with studied art entrances The lucky ones on whom she glances ? Why Leah! Helen Tibbets— “A shut mouth keeps one out of strife!f This maiden, with a look half scared, half mournful, Meets with the knowledge-seekers day by day. We wonder—is she really misan- thropic, Or has she just a melancholy way? 166 Elizabeth V. Trundle— “I wish 1 war in de land of cot- ton.” For she was jes' the quiet kind Whose natures never vary, Like streams that keep a summer mind Snow hid in January. Charlotte Traendly— “Can’t get me sore” You’re in want o’ suthin’ Light and cute— Rattlin’ an’ shrewd An’ sort o’ jinglish? Try Charlotte! 167 Georgian na M. Wood— “I know a maid that's fair to see. Take care—she's fooling thee. Even as one heat another heat ex- pells, Or as one nail by strength drives out another, So the remembrance of my former love Is for a newer object quite forgot ten. May Kathreen Van Alstyne— There’s not a minute without, some duty.” A part of us, yet not part with us, She’s known to us, yet not known, Wore she always the costume as- sumed at our show She’d be not so often alone. 168 Esther Walzer— “A merrie heart maketh a cheer- ful countenance.” I would that all would be my friends What ever their opinions be, For though scarce suited to my mind, I’d never quarrel or disagree. Stella Yuells— “Her voice was ever soft and low?” Who’s our champion turkey-trotter ? Who’s our keenest personal knock- er? Who’s a spirit blithe and gay, Who worries not, from day to day, What Prof may think or Dean may do, Or what be writ in exam, book blue? Why, Stella! 169 dlntutntiual ftccortis Mary Ethel Anderson— Athletic Association (2), Social Study Club (2, 3), Daisy Chain, 1913, College Play (3), Collegiate Associates (2).

Sanford, and to see unveiled the window which testifies to the affectionate regard which he inspired in all those with whom he came in contact. The motto, “Upright in life and free from fault,” as engraved on the window is an evidence of the way in which Dr. Sanford’s memory is revered. Dr. Levcrmore spoke with deep feeling of his life and character as his associates and students recognized it. Dr. Cadman recalled his fidelity to his duty and his calling, characterizing him as a “lover of God and a lover of goodness.” Miss Winifred Marshall sang Interger-Vitae and the song from Pippa Passes and the ceremony closed with prayer and benediction. Many lingered to speak together of the good friend whom they had loved and lost and whom Dr. Levermore, in a personal letter, charac- terized as “an affectionate friend, a loyal and faithful colleague, a strong teacher, a Yankee indeed in whom there was no guile.” 176 LL Clmpcl Don’t cry, little girl, don’t cry, There’s Chapel to-day, I know. Never mind if your cap doesn’t Fit on top of that bow. The Freshmen are ’sposed to look Queer in their college costume And everyone knows that you’re Green, by the strut you assume. Don’t cry, little girl, don’t cry, To Chapel you really must go, In spite of the fact that you should Rehearse for the Soph’more Show. There’s no doubt that you should be More privileged than the rest. But then—in cap and gown you Of all classes look the best. Don’t cry, little girl, don’t cry, No excuse from Chapel for you. For tho’ you are worked to death And Oracle material’s due You’re an upper class” now, you know, With little sisters to train. Don’t let Freshies” go upstairs To look for their “Crushes” in vain. Don’t cry, little girl, don’t cry, You’ve had four years Chapel, true And the week’s very short to get done All that’s of interest to you. But come, ’cause you know that of course You are looked to by all the rest. Your superior knowledge is felt And your dignity confessed. Don’t cry, Faculty, don’t cry, You feel that you ought to go To Chapel; but duties press You’ve appointments—Oh, we know. We have them too, but then you Have no ’scuses, cuts, and that fuss, Say—Thursdays, when you’re skipping out, Don’t you ever pity us? 178 U.C.MtTZOtR- I - Htttlc on Oh, you scattered your toys All over the floor, little son. And your engine left a Great scratch on the door, little son. You dug in the mud till Your blouse was all grimy and wet, You broke six of the eggs Where the black hen started to set. You left one of your very Best books on the porch in the rain, The bottle of ink you tipped Off ©n the floor left a stain. You pinched little sister, You picked up the cat by his ears; And then you were sent to bed Supperless, son, and in tears. But you came in to me Long before you had slept, little son, And right up in my lap Clinging tightly, you crept, little son. And we had it all out Just mother and you in the dark, And you fell fast asleep With your curly head here on my heart. And in spite of the fact you Were naughty as naughty could be That you spoiled everything Your hands grasped or your bright eyes could see, I miss your gay chatter, Your noise, and your sweet winning ways, And I wish—how I wish I could call back your little-boy days! 180 iftootis Have you ever seen the sunbeams Prancing, dancing. Seen the dainty laughing fairies. So entrancing On the sea? Have you ever seen the light, gray. Harsh, unbending, Like a spirit, cold and loveless Quick descending On the sea ? Have you ever seen the ripples Clear, detecting All the changeful- moods of heaven, All reflecting On the sea? Have you ever seen the high waves Tossing, roaring, All their glittering skycaught brilliance Richly pouring On the sea? Have you sometime caught these strange moods Ever changing, Moods that call like restless beings Roving, ranging On the sea? Come ye then and know the waters, Spirit-haunted, Learn to love the fearless sprites that Live undaunted On the sea! 181 jfrom tf)e Cales of S® m “You’re the loveliest, loveliest, loveliest Muddy,” said Davie, holding her neck in a tight, warm clasp that nearly broke the neck in two. “And you’re the loveliest, loveliest, loveliest Davie,” said mother, pat- ting the little night gowned figure and breathing ticklingly down his neck, tho’ she couldn’t help that—breathing being really necessary. “Come on to bed,” said Bert who was already lying down. “Come on. You’re pulling the covers all off.” “I’m going to speak to Muddy privately. Go ’way!” said Davie, giv- ing the sheets a parting kick and standing up on the bed beside Mother. “I’m not listenin’,” grumbled Bert, turning his back upon them. Davie cuddled a fist beneath Mother’s chin and leaned against her confidingly, but said nothing. Mother tilted her head so that an ear was invitingly opposite his mouth. “What did you want to tell Mother privately, honey?” “I’m awfuf sorry, Muddy.” “Yes, dear,” and her tone coaxed for more confession, while her mind sped over the thousand and one crimes and mishaps of the day. Another silence, and then with reluctant gasps—“I broke—Father’s —stein.” Mother held him a moment till the sobs lessened, then she took his face between her hands. “Listen, Davie, when you break anything you must come and tell Mother right away, so that I can be perfectly fair. All this afternoon I’ve been thinking that Chloe broke the stein, and I should probably have scolded her this evening. I’m so glad you told me now, so that I won’t scold her, but I’ve been thinking unfair thoughts all day. Next time you will come and tell me immediately, won’t you, son?” “Yes, Muddy dear, I’m awfu’ sorry.” “Davie man!” was Mother’s approval. “Now run and tell Father. He’s in his dressing-room.” “You come?” “No, Father’d rather you told him all alone,” and she gave him a little push toward the door. He moved slowly, for the stein had been cherished. Arriving at the door of the dressing-room, he knocked. Rolf son opened it, staring down at the small figure in astonishment. “Is Father in?” said Davie politely. “Yes, sir,” said Rolfson, holding the door open. Father turned ’round—he was being shaved and was half lather. “Good evening. What may I do for you this beautiful spring evening?” 182 Davie was truly repentant. Yet lie did not approach his Father as he had his Mother. Doubtless it was instinct that prevented him from snuggling close to Father, that moved him rather to walk to the arm of Father’s chair and look him straight in the eye. “I broke your stein today. I knocked against it and then I picked up the pieces and put them into the grate. Mother thought Chloe did it, but I’ve just told Mother. I’m awf-ly sorry.” Father frowned. Davie had broken the stein but he was sorry—and of course he hadn’t meant to break it. lie had hidden the pieces and Chloe had been blamed, but he had told his Mother. The stein couldn’t be replaced—it had been his own in his mad youth and recalled the gay nights at a certain German house,—but what a George Washington spirit the lad had, regular can’t-tell-a-lie courage, by jove! Well, what should he do about it? “It was straight of you to come to me and own up. It is too bad about the stein, isn’t it?” Father reached out his hand and shook Davie’s solemnly. Davie looked back at him gravely. “Damn shame,” he agreed. The elder man straightened like a shot and his jaw dropped. Rolfson wheeled abruptly away. “How old are you, Davie?” said Father. “I’m about four,” said Davie. “Well, my man, you must wait—I should say at least ten years be- fore you ever repeat that word,—the one you said before ‘shame.’ It’s wretched form for a chap your age to use it so freely. Not for ten years. Davie.” “How long’s ten years?” “You 11 be as old as Junior is now. That’s a sight too young. Come on, let’s trundle back to Mother.” At that Davie became a baby again. “Gimme a ride,” he demanded. Father lifted him up on the lathered side of course, covering his yellow head with white foam so that he resembled a cream pie. They returned to Mother on a romp and overcame her dignity with soapy froth. Bert saw possibilities in the situation and developed the scene into a riot. Between breaths Mother remembered, “Aren’t you going to speak this evening. Jack? I should think you'd remain calm, or calmer.” Father remembered too. “So I am. And I’ll calm down, only I’ve just had a—an experience. Tell you later,” and he hurried away to Rolfson. 183 f. He’s a creature microscopic. He’s Miss Gaines’s own pet topic Of discussion in biology lab. And he’s not a bit, dejected ’Cause he cannot be dissected Like the lobster and the crayfish and the crab. So he lives his gay existence Spite of my intense insistence On the laws of separation and divorce; Lives deep down in my interior, And this jolly, gay bacteria _ Will not depart, unless expelled by force. Beware 11 I 184 Victim of Circumstance Squeezed up here by the side of a wall in a stuffy subway station, I have been watching you. I watched you as you headed that great pushing, throbbing throng of factory girls that came with you and after you. I watched you as you laid your nickel on the glass, with your thin white hand, and then took your place near me on the platform to wait. I have watched you as you became but one in a sea of similar forms and yet there has not a single change of expression come across your pale, pinched face. Work done for the day, and home in sight has brought no glimmer of joy across your countenance. You have not even looked about to see if in the crowd of your factory sisters you might spy a friendly smile. With your fixed stare, your big expressionless eyes, your listless attitude, you seem a victim of circumstance. You have no pleasant memories to reflect upon. From the moment your cry rang out of the dark gloomy tenement room there has been nothing in store for you but an indifferent look or an ugly curse. Only once did the hand of love rest on your head, but that was long before you could know what the name of mother meant. Cared for by the tene- ment neighbors when you lay on a straw mattress, an infant; brought up by an older brother when you became big enough to walk, whipped by a drunken father if vou toddled across his path, kept from school as from a prison; put into the factory as soon as your little fingers could manipu- late the simplest machine, you have grown to be a girl of your environ- ment, a young woman who has not had, in eighteen years, one single pleas- ure to make life seem worth living Nor does the future hold any joys for you. You are now planning to spend your last few cents for bread for your worthless father and brother. The last bright ribbon you bought was the subject for insult from all the youths of the alley. At the mission they do not understand you. With its bright girls who have all that money can buy, to tell you how to economize in order that you may beautify your home and yourself, it only adds to your despondency. One thing only remains for your fu- ture and that is work and pain. Tomorrow you will work on the same dainty white waists that the pretty girls wear at the mission. The next day with your tired fingers and aching back you will do the same. You are truly a victim of circumstance. The belated subway train at length appears, and you without one look of relief are pushed on to the train by a mass of other victims like yourself, and when my station arrives and I get off, I see you still stand- ing with that fixed sorrowful look which is molded by a past which brings no joy, and a future which brings no anticipation. Yet, you it is, who if in search of pleasure, take one step wrong, are investigated, judged, and after condemned by those society reformers who are not even worthy of calling you by the name of “Sister.” 185 fangltng fmgles “The time has come, the Senior said, “Our knowledge to impart Of themes and blue-books, libr'y fines, Of Cupid's piercing dart— And why the lunch room lures us so, And which prof has a heart.’’ She thought her Latin she could do Without the aid of trot, And when she flunked, she smiled and said A word she’d just forgot. But flunk notes showered thick and fast And by the first of December She went and bought a little horse, Just to help remember. We love it, we love it, and who shall dare To chide us for loving that old rocking-chair? We gazed on it two years, with longing eyes— Looked forward to when we should own the prize, And now we can sit there as much as we please, Learn lessons and rock there completely at ease, And many a Junior while seated there Has learnt logic to the rhythm of our old rocking-chair. “What makes the Juniors hurry so?” Asked Freshie with-the-braid. “We’re going to moving pictures now,” The stately Junior said. “What makes you look so scared, so scared ?” Asked Freshie with-the-braid. “We’re ’fraid Dean Harvey will find out,” The stately Junior said. For we’re going to moving pictures and vaudeville combined, It’s about the only place on earth you never have to grind, And it’s furthermore the swellest ten-cent show you’ll ever find— Cried the Freshie, “Take me with you, in the morning!” 186 Where is the smile that won’t come off? In the Soplvmore class. Where is the girl with the hacking coff? I haven’t seen her this morning. Who is the man with the face benign ? Oh, that’s Frady. Are his troubles really ninety and nine? That's just his way. Are you sure there's nothing vexing him’: There might be one thing. The trouble oppressive, what is it then? He’s correcting our papers! To fashions strange the world is prone And some are sober, some are gay, One question doth my spirit ask— Where are the Puffs of yesterday? “You are old. Flossy Senior, the green Frosh said, “And your knowledge is deep in repute, And yet you look doll-like and frizz out your hair— What makes you so awfully cute?” “In my youth,” said the wise one, “I made up my mind, That I’d like to be some nice man’s wife, And that ‘come hithe look that I put in my eye Has lasted the rest of my life.” When Profs are cross and college dull, And life scarce worth the living, And every thought that stirs your mind Seems madness to be giving,— Then hie to Economics class, Your heart will surely lighten, And hearing Frady’s little joke Your dulness quick will brighten. 187 “ JHanana” “Where e’er no vision is, the people perish,” The worldliness to which their life, is given Soon far behind into the past is driven And all the baubles .they were wont to cherish Have crumbled, and become as dust and clay. The vision of the future is a need Each man must harken to, each race, each creed, “Manana,” cry while yet it is to-day, On, on, the task of life is not yet done, “Manana” comes again with morning sun. Hold fast the vision, “Never lose the beam,” Follow it, tho’ the way may weary seem— That they at last may write upon thy shield “To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.” Country Soft pink sunrise, fragrant dew-drops, And the sky-lark’s morning song; Rosy cloud-mists floating upward Borne by Zephyr’s strength along. Chirp of cricket, whir of locust, Heat waves rising ’cross the field, Lazy morning spent in dreaming In the new hay, half concealed. Pine trees sighing, leaves a-rustling, Myriad voices in the grass; Flowers nodding, breezes whisp’ring, Calling softly as I pass. Gray blue mountains, gorgeous sunset, Sky o’erhead, a boundless sea; All things speaking forth God’s glory— That’s what “country” means to nue. 188 Hongmg Sweet Spring;, with her hands full of flowerets gay, Gladsome to see. Came riding in zephyr's swift chariot today Over the lea; Right under your window she dropped fleur de lis Sparkling with dew, And now she is swinging high up in the tree Calling to you. The rain has been silently falling all day, Tears from the sky, On leaves and on flowers the glist'ning drops stay, Cast from on high. But down in my garden the rain has no power Life to renew; For nature is drooping and fading each hour, Thirsting for you. The bright sun is resting up there on the hill, Ambient gold. No longer the brook whispers soft to the mill Wonders untold; The songbirds as tho' by some unheard command Chatt’ring subdue; And all the whole world and its gay creatures stand List'ning for you. Fragrant dusk veils the hill with her mantle of gray Dark-edged with night; And stars, only waiting her call to obey, Flash into sight. The moon, sailing high o'er the trees, tries to dart Shafts of light through; But I sit alone in the shadow, sweetheart, Longing for you. 189 phantasy Do you ever have a longing to do the Turkey-trot? Do you ever feel you’ve paid the price for every step you’ve got? And when your feet are heavy and you don’t know what to dance, Just do a little one-step—everybody takes a chance. Take me back to tango land and never let me waltz; Always do the one-step there for no one sees its faults; Then we’ll have a Castle walk, oh, my, ain’t it grand? Let me be a chump once more, back in Tango-Land. And when the chaps are dull with whom you can do the walk, Don’t try to converse with them, for they haven’t the brains to talk. And when you’re feeling sad and you don’t know what to do, Why just ask any bonehead, he can learn the tango, too. Take me back to Tango-Land and never let me waltz. Always do the one-step there, for no one sees its faults; Then we’ll have a Castle walk, oh, my, ain’t it grand— What under the sun are we coming to— I don’t know— Back in Tango-Land. 190 Wty Sprtl JDeeps It was in those far-off golden days, when flowers bloomed on every side and happiness and sunny skies closed around all. It was then that Zephyr and his dainty playmate, April, wandered through the fields talking to the flowers, calling the birds by name, watching the reflection of the sky-hung cloud-boats that sailed :n the blue deeps above, yet ever sped before enraptured vision far down in the limpid green water of the river. Here then was the play ground whereon Mother Nature allowed her children to sport. Yet one parting injunction had she given. “Touch not the flower of crimson splendor—the lily that blooms yonder on the hill. All other flowers may you choose as adornment; but pick not the red one. I have warned you.” It was not that the fair little sprite April knew not the wisdom of Nature’s words. It may have been the intoxicating brilliance of the morn—the eager desire to deck herself more entrancingly for Zephyr—yet true it is that on one fatal day. (lancing over the hill bestrewed with blooms, April stopped, and bending gracefully, plucked the single red lily e'er Zephyr's warning cry had caught her ear. As the slender stem snapped in her fingers, April felt herself lifted from the ground, and afar off she heard Zephyr's sad Farewell.” Swiftly she was borne over the fields and hills glowing in the freshness of a new day; and at last, when she felt herself on firm ground once more and dared to look around, she beheld standing beside her the Great King Blast. “Ah, my pretty one,” he began in his blustering voice that came in puffs and echoed and whistled through the corridors of his huge palace. “Ah. my pretty one, at last I have succeeded in carrying you to my home and in sending that young jack-a-napes, Zephyr, a-flying. While Mother Nature held the season's key I had no power in your playground until she turned it. But when your fingers grasped and plucked it, then at last I pushed open the door, and now, my little fairy. I have brought you here—my coveted plaything. For many months April wandered through the great lonely palace, longing, weeping for her far away, happy playground. When King Blast came back from his long trips over the shuddering world—during which he defied the mighty Sun and tossed men hither and yon at will—Little April would creep up to him and beg to be carried back to her own home. The giant was so kindly in his awkwardness, made such evident attempts to make her happy, that one day she ventured a question concerning Zephyr. Then King Blast’s voice thundered forth and whistled and howled so ominously that April trembled and sought to learn no more. Her sweet gracious bearing, her pale lovely face captivated the hearts of the servants at the palace, and thus it happened that “Love 191 I found a way,” and despite their fear of the master, they hid April in King Blast's chariot, and quite unwittingly he bore his frail plaything back over the fields whence she came. Once more in her own beloved field, she ran here and there seeking her companion; but all was bleak and bare. The song of the Blast rang in the bare branches of the trees and cried through the waters of the river moving sluggishly under its coverlet of ice. Alone—all alone, the little maiden sank on the bank of the stream and wept. Her sad, hot tears fell on the sleeping earth, and suddenly, from out the ground, there sprank white blossoms, pure, lovely. As April gazed upon them, a gentle breeze touched her, wafting up a sweet fragrance, and she heard a soft whisper. “Because you gave King Blast the key to our happy domain he has entered, and declared that I, Zephyr, may come only when he is absent. My weakness is lost in his strength. Whither he wills he sends me; but since you cannot be happy in his home, while you may not always have me—yet Blast sends you these blossoms—Wind flowers—which, while no hand may pluck without destroying, yet in this shaded garden spot withstand the shock of the Tempest. And so it happens, the fairies tell us, that the calm sunny days of earliest spring but mark the play hours of April and Zephyr. The rough, windy days are those hours when King Blast enters to sport with the maiden he loves in his gruff way. But those rainy hours, which come between the brightness and the windy dark—in our month called April,—Ah, it is at these times that the little lonely sprite is calling and weeping for the playmate she willfully lost. Then, ye believers in fairies, pluck not those white blossoms yclept Wind Flowers, that bloom in the secluded nook, for it is just there that King Blast has sent a solace to the gentle Spring—just there that Zephyr is whispering words of love to the delicate sprite. Co 0lv 3Uti) Wtytn Ije There's a shadow on the starlight Far away; Comes the living, pulsing dawnlight— 'Tis the day ; And the East with rosy blushes All aglow, With the mocking trill of thrushes Lilting low, Welcomes you with adoration To her heart. There to cherish till the gloaming Loath to part. 192 Cjrams. Exams! With qualms My frame Does shake When I hear That a quizz Is On its way. When I think Of the lessons I never prepared, When I think Of those lessons I tell you, I'm scared. My conduct So awful, My pleasure Unlawful, Now appears In true guise As the cause Of my fears. In my woe I despair; It’s not fair, I declare. Those profs Have a nerve; Do they think They can wink, They can smirk While we work? While we cram In dull woe Do they think They can go Ruminate On the fate Or the laws Or the cause Of creation Of the nation? It’s not fair, I declare! I’ll protest It’s no jest! 193 But all the while With gleeful smile The imp so jolly Rebukes my folly, And whispers slow With accent low That that Abomination Called examination In all due time Shall pass away. And I, Even I, Again will be gay. Before I came to college My friends advanced a knowledge Of the things I’d have and do when I got there; But they each of them knew, That whatever else was true, I’d have Frady “with the melancholy air.” They spoke of squeaky shoes, Frady’s jokes meant to amuse, His appetite, his wide and friendly smile; But one thing they didn’t mention, That’s beyond my comprehension, Frady’s reference readings all come by the mile 194 % )t eternal ue3tton To go, or not to go—that’s the question. Whether ’tis better to stay at home and cry, Unmindful of your strong desire to dance And heedless of your new pink dancing frock, Or to take arms against convention rude, And by opposing end it. Twere better far To write or ‘phone the nicest man you know, To buy him flowers and bon-bons as a bribe, In hope the invitation he’ll accept, Than stay at home and let the rumor spread That you have no men friends. Such course were fatal And much to be deplored. This question settled, Another now arises. Asking is good— But who is good to ask ?—aye, there’s the rub. He must know how to dance the latest steps, Look well in evening clothes, hire a taxicab, Nor bring you on the common B. R. T. To crush and spoil your finery. In addition ’Twere better still if he could be restrained From flirting with some heartless, blonde-haired girl Who’d flaunt her prowess in your very face Whene’er you’d meet thereafter. Such a man, The paragon of beauty, virtue, fashion, If you would bring him to the Junior Prom, Grasp now the moment—stop for food nor rest Until his promise you securely hold, Then fall upon your knees and thank the gods For Fortune that so sweetly smiles upon you.

Look to the blowing Rose about us. Lo, Laughing, she says, “To class I seldom go. The dean and profs all know it, yet relent Because before exams I study so.” The midnight themes girls wracked their brains upon Arc failures, or successes—and anon, Like chocolate frap upon a summer's day, Delighting a short five minutes or so—was gone. They- say Dean Harvey and the Faculty keep Awake when other folks are fast asleep. And Cadman, the great talker, the poor Fresh Quakes at his phrase—replete with meaning deep. “ Each year brings new professors in,” you say? Yea, but where leaves the prof of yesterday? And that same month that brought Prof. Mooney here The late lamented Greenlaw took away. Ah, my beloved, let us gaily sing To old Adelphi let us trophies bring.

Why Louise Metzger never did a theme for Mr. Reinig. Why Pearl Pignol is so dignified in French Class. Why Vera Roscoe hated the Greek period. Why Evelyn Saunders smiled her baby smile at M.

Maloubier doesn’t always wear a Bulgarian sash. Why all the members of faculty attend Chapel. 197 r'aele—fisi a Bitam I freely admit that the country has few attractions for me. Having lived for the greater part of my life in the land of running water and electric lights, I naturally prefer the comforts and pleasures of the city to the lesser and more rustic joys of the suburbs. Yet there is a little town down on Long Island that holds a warm place in my affections. And now, when summer is gone, and long winter evenings are passed in reminiscences by the fireside, my fancy instead of turning lightly “to thoughts of love,” as the poet sings, turns rather toward green meadows and babbling brooks. So perhaps I may be forgiven if I express my vagaries. To that end I crave your indulgence. The village proper consists of four churches, an equal number of cafes, places where the just and unjust may assemble in congenial society, a postoffice, several groceries and meat markets, and one very extra- ordinary bazar, wherein the unwary arc entrapped. For this par- ticular store dispenses souvenirs and picture post-cards and ice-cream sodas at prices that afterward cause the unsuspecting stranger to wonder at his own gullibility. Indeed this matter of price is one of the distin- guishing characteristics of the town. For the luckless summer resident soon learns to his sorrow that the tradespeople consider him or her their natural prey. Woe unto them that pay their bills by the month! The first glimpse at the enormous sum total displayed at the bottom of the slip has been the reason for many a modest householder’s sudden de- parture for a sanitarium! The attitude of the residents is another surprising feature. The mere fact that one is a stranger immediately places him under a ban. And no display of graciousness may win their confidence unless they have known his ancestors even as far back as the fourth generation. This attitude is manifested in many ways. For instance, the ex- pressman deposits one’s trunks on the front piazza and stolidly refuses to carry them upstairs. The hack driver, if late for a certain train, scorn- fully refuses to hasten his steed, even though one’s life depends on catch- ing that particular train. And even the postmistress, a superannuated spinster, with spectacles, wrinkles her sharp nose in disgust when a stammering summer resident asks for his mail. But nature, as if in recompense for so many misfortunes, has en- dowed the surrounding country with wonderful beauties. Nowhere else in the world, I believe, does grass grow so green, or wild flowers so profuse and brilliant. Nowhere else is the sky so blue, the bay so clear or the song birds so bewitching. The very atmosphere is redolent with fragrant odors. I know of a merry babbling brook that runs to the sea on whose banks bloom tawny tiger-lilies and under whose linchcn- covered stones the crawfish hides. I know the shaded dell where Spring wakes the first violets and where snowdrops, with their heavenly purity, 198 seem to mock the sordid world. The bay is a never ending source of de- light. Its clear waters reflect every tint of the changing sky, and many a one, after watching a sunrise, has gone on his way with a new joy singing at his heart. And so, in spite of my love for mere physical comforts, when the first balmy breezes blow, and the call of the spring is singing in my ears, were anyone to offer me my choice between the society of the lords of creation and this little spot, I should unhesitatingly choose the latter. “Where the blackbird sings the latest Where the hawthorne blooms the sweetest Wliere the nestlings chirp and flee— That’s the way for Billy and me!” jfeto aifccas of beaten Elsie: “To kiss his mouth to hearts desire And on his kisses to expire.”—Subject to change. Bertha: Where the fudge doesn’t have raisins in it. Georgie: Where everybody falls for my jolly. Ruth R.: I never thought about it. Florence: Where I'm taken seriously. Carrie: Teas, parties, dances, etc. Mae B.: Leading lady on Broadway. May H.: No “September Morns” to shock me. Miriam: English with Dr. Greenlaw—Oh gosh! Elsa: Charlotte, Mildred and I. Dorothy: Located in the Pacific Ocean. The Phillipines? Well, rather. Edna: A place somewhat like Boston, with plenty of intellectual atmosphere. Clarissa: A sterilized, germless, kissless Spotless Town. Vera: Where they have moving pictures and vaudeville all the time. Stella: Where I can talk loud enough to drown out the Heavenly harps. 199 eei fofee department “Pressure is very closely connected with our sense of taste,” ex- pounded Dr. H—. “Yes, Miss B—,” he continued, nodding, “you have an illustration?

It told of the prayer that ascended to heaven with the thrushes’ morning song, And the life-giving fragrance of woodland dells on the breezes wafted along. It spoke of the rose and gold banners that flamed aloft in the morning sky, And the star-gemmed robe that descended to earth when the even-tide was nigh. It told of the fairies that danced on the lake with the sunbeams for partners, at noon, And just how the wood nymphs came scampering down on the silvery path of the moon. The song of the waters whose ripples caressed the shore—the tree breathed that too, And perhaps—if you’ll close your eyes tight and just wait—it will tell the whole story to you. 220 A Quiet Little Spread. Nothing has more charm for college girls than the very exclusive little spreads enjoyed in their rooms at night, and they tell us they serve on these occasions because it can be made into a great variety of ju$t such dainty dishes as they like best, and anybody can fix it in a minute. For big dinners and for little spreads Jell-O is alike suitable. It can be made into so great a variety of dishes that one for any occa- sion can be prepared from it. A beautiful new Recipe Book, with brilliantly colored pictures by Rose Cecil O’Neill, author and illustrator of ’’The Kewpies,” will be sent free to all who write and ask us for it. There are seven Jell-O flavors, all pure fruit flavors, as follows : Strawberry, Raspberry, Lemon, Orange, Cherry, Peach, Chocolate. 10 cents a package at any grocer s or any general store.
