The purpose of the incorporators was to offer to the young women who should enroll in the institution the same aaVantages that their brothers enjoyed. The ideals of the institution were religious from the first, and the cliaracter of the enterprise may he judged by the people who have been connected with it. The first President of the Board of Trustees was Judge Daniel Coleman, and his successors have been men of the same type. Rev. R. H. Rivers was the first President of the Institution, and he has had a number of successors, lAit the mc;i and the two women who have held this position have been characterizea by their scholarship and religious zeal. In 1870 the institute became the property of the Xorth Alabama Conference, and two ears later its name was changed to Athens Fen- ale Institute. In 1889 its name was again changed to .Athens Female College, and again in 1915 to Athens College for Young Women, which name it has since retained. The tract of land on which the college is located was the gift of the following parties: Thds. Maclin, Benjamin Maclin, and Thos. Ilobbs. Funds for the construction of Founders Hall -.vere raised by voluntary contribution. Ir. Robert Beaty donated the land on which Brown Hall is locateo ' . This building was first used in 1912. It was named in honor of its first donors, the parents of Miss Florence Brown, a former secretary of the institution who gave her life in lovintj service to the college. Music Hall and the heating system were completed in 1914, the swimming pool in 1919, the gymnasium in 1922, and the Xew Dormitory in 1924. As the college has increased its ec|uipment and furnishings, it has developed its curriculum and raised its standard of learning. In May, 1909, distinct lines were drawn between the college ana ' academy, and in 1921, what had been known as Athens College .Academy was given the name of Rivers .Academy, and was made a member of the Southern Association for Secondary Schools. The college was placed among the B grade colleges of the Church. In 1913 it was classed as A ' ' grade, the highest class of colleges controlled by the Church. Since that time it has been made a member of the Southern .Association of Women ' s Colleges. In 1924 it was decided by the trustees of the college that a:i instructor in the College must hold at least a Master ' s Degree. The Instituticn has lac; ' to pass tl.rcr.gb many vicissitudes in the course of its long career, but it has always lived up to the principles and ideals upon which it was projected. .Many young women have gone out from its walls who ' have reflected credit on their Alma Mater. Daughters of the college may be found today in prominent places in the religious, social, and literary worlds. Therefore with the satisfaction that comes from a knowledge of success, -Athens College for Young Women can turn to the future, prepared for broader service ana ' confident of achieving greater glorv.

Moorefield, Dean A Tribute to The Seniors In a few months we shall again assemble for another year of work and pleasure. The vine-covered walls and lofty columns of our dear old college will smile their welcome as before. The breeze as it brushes our cheeks and ruffles our hair, will be as balmy as of yore. The choir of birds on the campus will greet us with songs of gladness. The mag- nilicent oaks, with arms outstretched, will wait with their benedicite. But, alas, our loved Seniors will not be here to meet us. The haJls will resound with girlish voices of mirth ana ' laughter. Our own particular friends will meet us with open arms and pour into our willing ear the story of their vacation. But the sad faces of the homesick Freshman will remind us of our own first hard days at college and of your sympathy and many acts of kindness. Your voices will ring in our ears calling us to take up mir work and do for these imhappy strangers what you in the past did for us. There will be a responsive quickening in our heart Iieats as we hear this call. In our joyful reply we shall show our appreciation for all that you have done for us. Entwined w-ith our reverence for our Alma Mater will ever be our sincere love for you — our Senior Sisters. S0PH(aH)RE Cl. ss. CoujRS : Green and White. Flower: ]Vhl e Rose Bud. M.

Class Poem of 25 Seniors, as you stand and ponder and tliink Of the cup of life you ' ll tilt and drink, Fear not the dregs the cup may give Drink deeply of life and live. Live in the rainbow ' s mixeo ' hue Live in the ever sparkling dew Live in the happy warbling note That pours from the thrush ' s tiny throat. Live in the whispering of every breeze That plays through the stately forest trees. Live in the flowers that bloom each day For soon they wither and fade awa ' . Live in the ever lingering shade That penetrates the woodland glade. Live in the streams that darkly flow FroiTi sombre hills capped with snow. Live in the dark and gloomy night. Peeping stars will guide you right. Live in the fog and misting rain Sunbeams soon will dance again. Take the Cup. its brim o ' erflows With mirth and joy and tearful woes. ' Tis full of love and wond ' rous beauty Mingled with work and honest duty. ' Tis full of service for mankind And studies that improve the mind. ' Tis full of glee and dancing play That chase the darkest night away. Westward the fading sun doth sink Take the Cup of Life and ' drink. Taste its sweets and bitters too, Learn its meanings deep and true. Learn to live each fleeting hour Learn to trust an unseen Power, For ' ' He who marks the sparrow ' s fall Will guide and keep you one and all. M. LVIN.A Allen. T-zventy-Uve History of Class 25 Again Father Time sweeps his sickle across the field of our school life. Never in the eighty-two years of Athens College history has he gleaned such a harvest of friendship, service and loyalty as in this class of ' 25. There are only six Seniors but all are fully developed ' physically, mentally, morally — ripe for the activities of the life before them. The aged reaper pauses and his sickle moves slowly as he thinks of th: seed which four years before he had planted. Ah, they were goodly seed, he said, but some fell among thorns, some by the wavside. and some in stcny ground. Never was there a more promising field of freshmen than was planted here in the fall of ' 21. The thirty who came were not all from the same locality or of the sanu- A ' anety. Alexander City sent five of her best, who grew and flourished and became the most beautiful and most admired of all the flowers of our garden. Some were simply transplanted from Rivers Academy where they had absorbed already many ideals ussd in the cultivation of the flowers of Athens, But the best loved — the queen of our garden was our lovely, exotic, our dear little Japanese cherry blossom, Toshi Sheba. In our land she accepted gratefully all the good things that were offered. She grew and blossomed and added much to the beauty and fragrance of our garden. Father Time sighed as he again bent in his work of reaping for he could not pause longer. He must leave the rest of the reminiscences to the class historian, while he hurried on with his labors. Every member of the class of ' 21 was jolly and congenial and they showed their sociability by entertaining in fine style every class in college. This class was recognized by their upper classmen as wide awake and en ' .husiastic sisters. During ratting season they proved their superior intelligence and escaped their impending doom by chasing off of the campus at high speed to a sister ' s home where thjy had a most enjoyable social. A few days later they completed the defeat of their tormentors by burning in effigy each member of that august Senior class of ' 21, and then tolling the ivy-covered bell to call them to witness their smoldering ashes, while they, as witches, danced in glee about the ruins. Though they were weeks later haunted by the ghosts of the departed dead, they braved the ordeal and completed with honors their first year ' s growth. One of their members, Mary Emma Nolen, surpassed everyone, even the Seniors, in schol- arship and received the medal. The next year regidar activities of college life developed this class of Fresh- men into studious and diligent Sophomores. Flowever their spirit was acknowl- edged by their Senior sisters, who bestowed upon them the privilege and responsi- bility of initiating the Freshmen. How well they did this work is seen in the conscientious studious Juniors who came from that early class of ' 22. The great sorrow of the Sophomore year was the loss of Toshi Sheba. She returned to her own country, buS her influence for good still a])ides with her class and she is always mi-ntioned with greatest love and admiration. The crowning event of the Jimior year of work and pleasure was the ' .banquet given by the Juniors to the Seniors. It was a verital)le feast, interspersed with fun and laughter. Some good fairy, by a wave of her wand, changed each fair Junior to a handsome gentleman, who yallantlv gave himsrlt to tlu ' entertainment of his lady. This was dune in such a reahstic fashion that the sweet whispered nothings brought a blush to the cheeks of the visitors. Excitement ran high, but the timely ringing of the bell saved the guests from any unfortunate dis- closures of part entanglements. The spell was broken, our Southern gentlemen again became onlv .Maids of .Athens and the Junior class was saved from ob- livion. It is hard for a historian to give a true presentation of events in the making. The human mind is likelv to minimize present joys and magnify present troubles. But the Senior year, to the six faithful members, seemed filled with too much hard work and too few pleasures. It seem:d as if each teacher was testing the class to find the endurance of each member. Practice teaching was not the least of their troubles. Hut faithfully and well each one bore her burdens and lightened the load of others. Long will be remembered the dainty cakes and candies and frequent rides with which Jennie cheered her classmates. Buster, the wonder and ad- miration of her class, covered herself with glory in her practice teaching, and became also the envy of all the others when even Miss Mason pronounced a well done upon her endeavors. Mai, willing to enter into all school activities, did everything so well and cheerfully that she endeared herself to all the student body. Lucile. who joined the class in her Junior vear, soon became identified with various activities and took her place in all progress of the college. Last. Mary Emma, with her winsome smile and gracious manner won the heart of every one on the campus and brought joy to both her classmates and teachers. As the curtain fell on the school life of the Senior Class of ' 25 Peg ' O My Heart was heard to whisper in reality, Oh, there ' s nothing half so sweet in life, as Love ' s young dream. Maud AIoncrief. Historian. Tzventy-seven Radio Messages HAVE YOUR FORTUNE TOLD BY THE GREATEST LIVIXG PROPHETESS. LEARN EVERYTHING ABOUT YOURSELF AND FRIENDS. HEAR THE PAST, THE PRESENT. AND THE FUTURE. COME ONE COME ALL. Being from Missouri, I walked into the Iniildiiig to see what it was all about. T heard a voice which cauie from nowhere in particular say, Press the button, ask any question and you will immediateh receive the desired information from the greatest prophetess in the world. Wonders will never cease for there in the building was a real prophetess, who could prophecy the coming events. This prophetess was notiiing more than a radio, a fortune- telling radio. As I had not hearo from my classmates of ' 25 for sometime I was an.xious to know what had become of them. The first girl that came into my mind was Maud Moncrief, the one that was always tempting me to go to the picture show, when she knew I had to make out a lesson plan for teaching. Well, I pressed the button, and the low ringing voice of tlie prophetess said, We arc all disappointed in Maud Moncrief. We had hoped that s he would be a great missionary, but alas, no such ambition appealed to her. Slie, dressea ' in a most extreme style is at the present, sitting in front of a theatre advertising her picture show, which she has just es- tablished, I am indeed sorry to tell you of Maud loncrief ' s life, but she chose her own work, and at the present she seems to be ' ilaking a living. ' Hoping for more cheerful news, I again pressed the button and asked about Lucile Grissom, the girl who never looked at her English until she started up the steps, about fifteen minutes after the bell had rung ; the girl who could work math, but, always found the answer in the book wrong. The voice of the prophetess said ' in a laughing tone, Ha, ha, I have a great surprise for yon. Lucile is now Lady Lucile Chichester, the wife of Lord Chichester, the great inventor of a most wonderful salve. This salve makes one grow tall, get thin, grow fat, just as one wishes. By tb.e application of her husband ' s salve, Lucile has grown tall, slender, graceful, and is considered one of the most stately and beautiful women of England. Lucile ' s marriage recalled to my mind, Mary Emma Nolen, the only member of the class of ' 2S who had played very n.uch with the cards of love. As I knew ' that she was married innnea ' iately after connnencement, and as I was sure that she was supremely happy with her Pill doctor, I thought it unnecessary to ask about her, but just for fun I pushed the button. The voice of the prophetess said, You will be shocked when yon hear the fate of Mar ' Emma Nolen. On her wedding day she decided that all men were deceitful, and false; so she left her heart broken fiance, never to see him again. Since that time she has traveled everywhere, lecturing on the foolishness of this so-called love and the un- faithfulness of men. She is the typical man-hater, ana is known all over .-Xmerica as the leader of the Man-Hater Club, which rivals all other organizations in numbers and strength. .After this shock, it took me some time to get up courage to inquire about Malvina Hammerly Allai, who was always on time to her classes especially English and Spanish. I was very an.xious to learn something of her, so 1 pressed the button and the voice from the radio said, We all expected Malvina Hammerly Allen to travel the world over, but she did not get any farther than Washington. There she was wooed by a ' Gentleman of the old school. ' Now they are living with their rive beautiful children in Hunnyville. Mai is very happy but at the present the twins have chickenpox, and she has forgotten whether the doctor tola ' her to give them a hot-tea bath or a cup of hot-tea. .Although Mai has many cares, she is as young looking as ever and she still possesses her pleasing personality. We Seniors used to have a good time especially when we went riding in Jennie Yar- brough ' s limousine. Of course I had to know about Jennie, so I pressed the button. The deep voice of the radio said, Jennie had changed greatly since you saw her last. Her role as lawyer in the Senior play made her decide to become a lawyer. She sets the styles for the well dressed lawyers, and if you look in the ' New York Times ' of last Sunday, you will find two pages given to her discussion of dress. She is known, not only in .America but all over the world as a great lawyer. When the voice stopped talking, I said, Surely, none of these prophecies are true. I.ut to prove them, 1 will see if it tells the truth about me. 1 pressed the button, and to my surprise the radio spoke the truth. This is what it said, Clara Nolen is now going over -America selling wings, which when fastened on one ' s shoulders enables him to Hy. This is her own invention. With these wings persons can tly faster than the aeroplane or the swiftest bird. Willi complete faith in this prophetess and all she had tola ' me. I wsilked out of the building murniuriiig, Will Wonders Never Cease ' • Cl.ARA Nol.K.V. Our Juniors Juniors Color: Pink and Green. Flower: Dorothy Perkins Rose. Motto: On to I ' ietory.

The years roll on, one by one Slowly, but surely they ' re gone Never again shall we i hance to see That which has passed between you and me. So let us in our hearts a record keep . record of struggling, toiling high school days. Of days we love ' ere yet they are no more, ' ould. that we might see them again as before. But the time is here and suddenly the true realization comes .And with it a pang of sorrow as well as thoughts of joy Are we ready now to come and take our stand Against the hardships we meet in this world on every hand ? e ' re Seniors ! We ' ve mastered the work of four Academy years It seems we ' ve climbed to the top, attained the goal for which we ' ve striven But yet, there ' s another goal, another thing for which we yearn Struggling, climbing, ever onward, it seems there ' s always something more to learn. So let us now a Memory leave, to the recorder so true to us all In the Book of Life with its pages torn and ragged, its chapters opened and closed The memory that we love what we ' e left lichind — School Days and the work ana ' the play And in our hearts is a star, Alma Mater shining, beaming, always as it guides us on our way. Willie M. e Johnston. Class Poet. Sixty-one Senior Class History Since the mind of a historian is not permitted to wander into the reahn of imagination to the extent of painting one ' s past in glowing colors, I have collected merely some facts that will reveal the true importance of our class. Before a girl completes her course at Rivers Academy she has a rough path to tread. The most important stones of the whole path are known as demerits. Some smaller ones are such things as examinations, quizzes and scolds. Along with the annt)ying stones we find nianv beautiful tlowers which help to brighten our long path. The girls of 1925 have now come to the conclusion that there are many more flowers than stones, over which they have to travel. In September, 1921, when only five young girls entered as Freshmen, the class was organized. The school was very prosperous and everything for the future looked bright. The teachers were all happy Init we. the Freshmen, were much happier anfl thought ourselves greater than the faculty because we had left granmiar school and entered Rivers .Academy. . s we were now in High School we thought we could advance much ntore rapidly : though our exams were coming in quick succession, and we were given a warning or demerit every time we turned to left or right, though our lessons seemed very difficult, yet when May came, the Freshman class of four members, one having dropped out, received promotion to the Sophomore class, we felt that our work had not been in vain. In our Sophomore year we entered with an enrollment of seven, three of whom had received their promotion from the Freshman Class the preceding year. Our work this year although interesting and pleasant, was the most difficult of any in our high school life, but we were so elated over the thought of being Sophomores, and that there were onlv two more years before we would graduate, that we fell to our task very willingly. At the close of 1923 having received our promotion we were more jubilant than ever. As Juniors we entered with nine members, three of whom had been with us for the two preceding years. This year was the easiest, the most pleasant and perhaps the most successful of all our high school years. Now we were more contented and more inclined to take things easy and as the time drew near when we were to receive our long hoped for diplomas we felt more and more unworthy. The fact that we enjoyed some privileges which we had not had before, made the work more pleasant still. But with all our happiness came the sadness that we had onlv three members in the class who had started their course together. Soon we were told that the following year we would be Seniors and Nve left Rivers Academy for a vacatit)n t)f three months, to return as Seniors. In our fourth and most important year of high school we entered with four- teen members. In our enrollment we again found the names of the three girls who had begun in 1921. . lthough we had in this year many privileges we also found sorrow. We realized that some of us would part never to meet again and some Sivty-t ' co perhaps would iiifi-r tin- fulldwing vear. Alas, at the middle of the year one of the three faithful iiiemhers left us. taking with her high honors. A few months later we lost two more of our classmates which was very sad to us, leaving ten graduates. As we think of leaving some of our classmates never to meet agam we wish we were Freshmen and could go over our Academy life. There are no great deeds in our history to he written on the page of fame, but the fact that tve realize the meaning and purpose of an education will enable our future to be worthv of notice. Herein we are illustrious. Ethel Phillips, Class Historian. Sixty-three Senior Class Prophecy Boston, Mass.. May 26. 1935. Ten years ago — May 26, 1925 — who would have ever dreamed that we would be What we are today? When the Class of 1925 bade a last farewell to Rivers AcadenTy, we, not one of us, realized that we should become so widely separated — but such are the decrees of a cruel fate. But this day brings together, the dear old classmates of ' 25, who have gained worldly wisdom and skill in varied experiences. The 6 :20 train brings the first of mv expected guests. Miss Myra Courington, of Cincinnati. Myra brings her special piano upon which she has played so wonderfully and attained so much fame for the melodious compositions she has composed and played. She has traveled extensively and gained great favor from all. She is now honoring Cin- cinnati by giving instructions in the Conservatory for two years. We have to wait only ten ntinutes and the train arrives with Miss Willie Mae Johnston, of Corpus Christi, Texas. She has received distinction as the owner and director of the most fashionable and enjoyable resort of the South, Johnston Swinnning Beach. This resort gives a full page ad to The Maid of Athens each year. After finishing our delightfully served breakfast, we prepare to meet Louise Cranford and Elizabeth Lovett, who will arrive at 8:15. As it is thirty minutes till time, I ' get Jack, the chauffeur, to drive us over to the home of Miss Maynette Mackey, who now resides with her husband and family in the most elaborate furnished and happy home in Boston. Before giving up her career for her lovely family, she received notable attention in music and expression, ' e hurry to the station and there two good looking ladies make us catch our breath. Louise is marvelous looking. I don ' t understand the reducing agency she used, for you know she is noted for her acrobatic stunts, the most astonishing of which, is the fact that she slides through an ordinary stove pipe with perfect ease. Elizabeth, I suppose, is our class beauty, for there are certain requirements to enter the Follies and she is the leading lady in them. Her ease and grace, when dancing, is marvelous. Helen Hendricks surprises us when she arrives by aeroplane at an earlier time than she thought. Helen ranks with the greatest artists of the world. She has portrayed Louise to perfection and with such skill that it astounds the world. She has many works that amuse us, for they arc simple and true to life. She promises to paint each of us a sketch. After spending a short while in our individual rooms we are ready to meet Annie Mae Elmore, who arrives at 9 :20. She, unlike Maynette. has devoted part of the time of her married life in conducting a political campaign in the State of Alabama, the last town being Athens, and there she was given an elaborate reception. To our astonishment, she says: Ethel I ' hillips has recently been elected Governor of Alabama. ' e all thought Ethel would be some outstanding Latin authority in the world. Jack announces that we have a few minutes in which to get to the dock vard to hail our missionary girl. Leekie Smith. We were glad to see Ethel with her for the sooner they all arrive, the bi ' tter. Leekie reports that Christianizing Si.vlyfoiir an African is hard work, and if there is any tru ' .h in Scientists, the African is in the eienientar - stage. Twenty minutes later Mary Esther iVIyers is enjoyino; our joUity. She has made Leechburg, Pa., famous for having given such a noted singer to the world. Margaret Ross is delayed on account of a business engage- ment, so she comes in about 4:00 o ' clock. She has been made business manager of a large corporation, and is very prosperous in her chosen occupation. Now in the glory of happiness, after spending the afternoon in pleasant con- versation, we get readv for dinner. It is thoroughly enjoyed by all and brings back sweet men pries when we all used to sit at the same table at old A. C. In the drawing room this evening, we enjov each other ' s friendship as never before. Myra, Maynette and I entertain our class at the piano, Elizabeth with dancing, and Iarv Esther liv her wonderfully trained voice. A telegram is re ceived from our class sponsor. Miss Smith, though now married. She states that she will be with us in two davs, which pass in a merry good time, and so do the three days after she arrives. The day of departure comes, and I wake up the next morning with the sudden realization that all my guests are gone, yet we all parted with a more friendly and kindly outlook on life, for having known and been wit heach other. The morning edition of the Xew York Times, of which I am the editor, carries the following item: Joll - Class Reunion! Tenth Anniversary Celebrated. For the past few days the home of Miss Elizabeth Bell has been the scene of much gaiety and enjoyment, due to the fact that the class of 1925, of Rivers Academy, Athens, Ala., has been celebrating its first reunion. Every member of this ' true and tried ' class was present and each has made her mark in the world. The ideals instilled into their lives while students are uppermost in their minds today and the success attained by them is to be commended. They have chosen varied professions and each has excelled in her particular field. Thev are today, in spite of the passing of time, true, faithful, steady, and loyal girls and parted with the assurance that, ten years hence, the second reunion, which will be with Miss Helen Hendricks, Artist, Newark, N. J., will be as great a success as the first. Each girl has returned home and to her work, stronger in the realization of the fact that she is blessed with such friends, and thankful for the memory of past associations. Elizabeth Bell, Class Prophet. Si-rty-Hre Last H ill and Testament State of Alabama. Limestone Couxtv, Rivers Academy. Athens, Ala. We, the class of ' 25 believing ourselves to be mentally efficient to pass from this school into the unknown world after four years of strenuous efforts, make no rash claims, thereby Avishing to pass our gifts and attractions on to future generations by declaring null and void all previous legacies and bequeaths do publish this, our Last Will and Testament. To our Alma Mater we wish to leave our sincere reverence, affection, hope, and loyal support, always holding high its id ' eals of trvith and worth. To our highly esteemed President. Dr. Glasgow, we leave our regrets tliat we have asked so few permissions and privileges this year. To Miss Joyner. our principal, we leave our deepest gratitude and appreciation, Init also a request that main building be made noise proof for her comfort. To Miss Smith, our sponsor, we bequeath our true and best regards, as an expression of thanks for her patience in Solid Geometry and Civics classes. To Mrs. Jackson we will a wide awake Physics class who will be able to interpret and unc ' erstand the words uttered by her in class, and not slumber but half of the period. To Miss Stewart, Ethel Phillips leaves a large Latin class which will b-e easily controlled. To the Junior Class we gladly give our Senior dignity and wisdom, and also our long sought privilege of going to town once a week without a chaperone. To the Sophomore Class we bequeath our ability to make candy and sell it. To the Freshman Class we donate our last summer dresses and hair rilibons. Ana ' in addition we do make the following several and indi idnal bequests. I, Elizabeth Lovett, do bestow upon Dorothy Benaugh my lofty height hoping that by next year she will have gained her full growth. I. Mary Esther Meyers, do freely give to Etta Strain my gracefulness and daintiness. I. Elizabeth Bell, do bequeath to Memorie Gray Holt my wonderful ability to spell. . Helen Hendricks, do sacrifice to Charlotte Hooper my highly prized I50.X of rouge and lipstick, with the request that she make good use of it. I, Willie Mae Johnston, do leave to Signa Glasgow all my admirable traits and especially my calm and sweet o ' isposition. I, Leekie Smith, do will to Lucy Haywood Bin ford as a token of my friendship, my boisterousness and craving for excitement. With the sincere desire that she will not be so timid in the future. I, Maynette Mackey, do give to Fatima Morris my boldness and frivolity with the sincere hope that she will get as much kick out of her Senior year as I have. I, Myra Courington, do bestow upon Grace Aaron my attractiveness and popularity among tlie Athens Jellies. I. Annie Mae Elmore, do will my slow step and solemn countenance to Florene Sandlin. I, Ethel Phillips, do leave to Margaret Young Wall my curly hair which I hope she will appreciate. This document was signed, sealed and pulilishcd bv the class of ' 25. this 26th dav of May, 1925.

The room was dark save for a small gas flame near the pair. She was young, pretty, and had a profusion of bobbed hair. He was of medium height and fairly good looking. He gazed and gazed into her eyes, as though he were looking into her very soul He came close but said nothing. The scene was perfect, e.xcept that she looked frightened through her soft blue eyes. He spoke a few undistinguishable words; then after a short time her eyes softened and a lovely smile spread over her face and her complexion fairly beamed, when she said in a soft melodic whisper: Is that true? Ves, replied the oculist, Vour eyes are in good condition. Senior: So you imagine you know as much as Mrs. Jackson, do you? Ruth Beam : Well, she said herself that it was quite impossible to teach me anything. ( '  (■ Ilumirt ' il ' i ffnty-riKht Z.OC C : O A ' l 7 i xSa yV CJ 71? Ma V £ AMJ3 To o n Tms f ££ ' Z o .

I felt that sbe is a little young to send off to college, but her daddy says that they will fi.x her there. You know, I was entirely unawares that you took such good care of the girls, biit I do think it is so sweet to make it so homelike for them. I have always gone in to fix Jennie before getting in bed myself. I know she is a big girl now, but Jennie will never be anything but a baby to me. You know. Pa, I think it is so nice of you to build that pretty new dormitory. That is such a fine sentiment. I know you must be a fine, noble n.-an like Jennie ' s father. Jennie says your voice is as tender as the cooing of a dove. .And, Pa. after the first frost I wish you would see that Jennie puts on her wool stockings and wears lots of clothes. I am writing you this letter, for I notice the Birmingham News says it wT.i likely be cold day after tomorrow. You know, just before cold spells come on my joints always get so stiff, and I have a touch of rheumatism. Do you ever have rheuma- tism. Pa? I ha e noticed that whenever I have a cold in my head rheumatism always fol- lows, no matter how much asphctity I hang around my neck. Jennie writes me that you have the same trouble I do about being fat. Isn ' t it a nuisance? t can never get anything big enough. Can ou ? Your friend, XoRI.EC. Shesmo.ma.

Mrs. Grissom ; Leisure, leisure so they say, hut I get m leisure in the same old way. Miss Smith : Miss Stewart, do you still be- lieve he has stopped to pick us up or has he killed his engine? Miss Vancey : How wonderful is nature to give US such beautiful things t:i enjoy. Mrs. Rollo : It ' s thrum, thrum, thrum, then its drum, drum, drum. Take away ' Bach and Greig ' and give me the dance and t ' .ie iig. It is really a joy to cook good things when you know they ' re going to be good says Mrs, Church. Miss Mason : Do you see what I ' m driving at? Onlv a little education. Miss McMillan and Miss Tyree: Hold on tighter than usual Jerry, I ' m going down this hill in high. Mr. Church: I can ' t make all the music in the world, so I will just make the best of it. ' One Hitiulred Thirtv-oitc Prize Essay The following essay easily captured the handsome prize, a beautiful set of false teeth, given bv Dr. Glasgow, at the annual essay contest. TEETH Teeth are required to chew food. Many people who eat in quick lunch establishments have teeth, but do not use them. We are born without teeth and acquire them painfully, which proves nature isn ' t so kind as some folks claim. Some teeth are called wisdom teeth. Xo one knows wh ' thev are called wisdom teeth, in fact, they are so foolish and absolutely useless that the name seems entirely out of place. Thev should be called lazy teeth for they come late and go early. Dentists speak in terms of crowns and bridges — terms indicating the cost of considerable dental construction projects. Bridges remind one of blasting exca- vations and Wilson Dams. The dentist does the blasting and excavating, while the patient with a rubber gag in his mouth thinks of dams. False t;eth are so called because they so frequently have a falling out with their owner. However thev do not ache and may be cleand with a whisk broom with no inconvenience to their possessor. Very old ladies having but two teeth left, give thanks daily if the teeth bite opposite. Gold teeth, while charming to behold and pleasant to the taste are no better mastication tban ordinary teeth and otter a constant temptation to hold-up men who might otherwise become plumbers or lawyers. On- HiimircJ Tliirt -t:vo Owed to The Freshies ' ' There ! A noise in the hall I hear : A terrible roar strikes my ear; Well at any rate, I shall investigate : ' Tis the Freshies, there ' s no cause for fear. There is mischief in the air today, . To be sure there ' s a prank on the way : What explains all this fuss? Is that what ou ask us ? Why the Fresliies is all we can say. We ' re young for such a short while. Why don ' t tlie teachers all smile? W ' lien we take a lark — ■ Serenade after dark — Say an inch, and we ' ll take a mile. Now if you would truly arrixe. At the reason we Freshmen thrive; A secret I ' ll tell— Remember it well — Tlie class spirit keeps us alive. Anna Cannon ' 28.
