juJLp - M EX LIBRIS r Copyright, 1929 MABEL CLAIRE ORE Editor in Chief MARY SCOTT Business Manager Foreword From the choicest threads of student activity we have vi ' oven a fabric on the looms of thought, like the fabrics cre- ated in the period which inspired the theme of our book. Interwoven in this fabric, the 1929 Maid of Athens, are the flaxen threads of friendship, durable and binding; the silken threads of memory, lustrous and lasting. The gay bits of color are the zephyr threads of humor that complete the pattern. As we, the staff weavers, review our creation, we detect many flaws. Threads which would have enhanced the motif of our work have been left out. Dreams changed to tangi- ble pattern forms are ofttimes bereft of their beauty. It is our hope, however, that this fabric may be treas- ured in your chest of memory. In days yet unborn, may you bring it out into the sunlight, and as you fondle it, may it appear more refulgent in the mellow gleams of Time. Illlllll lllllll l .

If you have seen her garbed in one of the best quality dark-blue suits from Kinzer Fairbet- ter ' s. you won ' t deny her right to this title. Her next best achievtment after being matinee idol of the Dramatic Club and one of the Glee Club song- sters is the art of making humorous remarks. BESSIE ELNA BARKER. Home Economics Athens. Alabama Home Economics Club ; Society. Sigma Delta Literary Studies seem to have been Bessie ' s hobby while at Athens College — a thing which many students might well wish to have permanently printed by their names as a reminder of their efforts. Athens will miss such a hard-working and conscientious student as Bessie, because there are few of her kind. MARY ELIZABETH BELL, A.B. Vincent, Alabama Math Club; Secretary Cla.ssic Club.

Athens has never known a better student than Elizabeth, She is a willing worker and booster fur her Alma Mater, Elizabeth is a studious, whole-hearted girl, who has made her mark on the campus without any pretense.

Mag is not only one of our class beauties, but also the talented feature writer for the Crow ' s Nest. She probably won ' t select a literary career. however, for Dame Rumor has it that one of these fine months of June — sh. sh. don ' t tell. We wish for you the best that life has, Mag. SENIOR CLASS ALMA BULLINGTON. A.B. Athens, Alabama Sigma Delta Literary Society ; Le Cercle Fran- cais; Spanish Club; Maid of Athkns Staff. ' 27.

How Polly can graduate in three years, take such a prominent part in student activities, and be a capable member of Rivers Academy Faculty at the same time is more than we can fathimi. Nevertheless, we are mighty glad to have her lin- ish with the Class of ' 2i . Let us wish you happi- ness and success in all undertakings. THELMA CAVER. A.B. BoONmiLLE.

W. claimed Thtlma for three years, but the urge to come to Athens was too grtat, and to us she came. She is a girl of an idealistic nature. and possesses a sunny disposition that can ' t be beaten. She will be missed on the campus next year. MARY ELLEN COLE. B.S. Athens, Alabama Le Cercle Francais; Phi Sigma Literary Society. Mary Ellen has gone about her work on the campus quietly, but this same quietmss has won her into the htarts of her fellow students. Shj has done her work thoroughly at Athens, and we expect her to succeed in whatever she undertakes to do. IV ' SENIOR CLASS ELIZABETH ETHEL COOKE. A.B. Athens, Alabama Secretary Y. W. C.

The quietest, most dignified manner, with a mind that enables her to be — that ' s Ethel. As President uf the Y. W. C. A. she has proved to be dependa- ble and efticient. Ethel has learned that to be si- lent is more wise than to chatter. JULIETTE EMILY DUNCAN. Athens. Alabama A.B. Jet is one of our prodigal daughters who has tried various other colleges, but has returned to our Alma Mater her Senior year. Her magnetic personality and dusky beauty draw us to her, as they shall likewise do the world. ELIZABETH FASON, B.S. Home Economics Aliceville, Alabama Phi Sigma Literary Society; Art Club; Home Economics Club ; Secretary Sophomore Class. ' 27- ■2H. If you ' ve ever seen Elizabeth still (except in class), you have something on us. She ' s a win- some sort of person and the jolUest girl, with a natural love of life. Liveliness is combined with sound judgment in her personality. Athena will miss you next year. Elizabeth. IVALEE FAUST. B.S.

' Tis admirable that one so informal and fun- loving still possesses an air of dignity. A most excellent disposition makes her a favorite, because she has those attributes of friendliness and cheer- fulness which have won for her a host of friends. % SENIOR CLASS SARA GAY. A.B.

Sara is one of those charming girls who calls to mind that little verse: There ' s a little bit of bad in every good little girl. Not that her mischief ever goes too far — O, no! Soon after she dons her cap and gown for the last time, they say, she will march down another aisle to anothtr tune. We wish you happiness and the best of luck. Sara. SUSAN CHARLYN GODBEY. B.S.

No less than a suc- ct-iisful career can await one so endowed with tal- ent. For sweetness of disposition Charlye can- not be eipialed. She is a good spmt. and  -ver ' o vivacious. RUBY JANE GRAHAM.

It has been said that beauty and brains do not mix. but Ruby Jane has effectually explod.d thit th(.tu-y. During her college curetr she ha e.xhib- ited marked ability in dramatic art. She is sin- cere, charming, and lovable. CORONA HARGROVE. Home Economics Athens. Alabama B.S Home Economics Club : Sigma Delta Literary Society. Corona is mutually concerned with dreaming and living, but what else is one to expt ct from one who has such a charming drawl and the dreamy eyes of a true Southern belle ' ? May life hold the best for you. Corona. SENIOR CLASS B.S. Sitima GLADYS HUGHEY Home Economics Elkton, Tennessee Home Economics Club : President Phi Literary Society, ' 29; Tenr ssee Club.

If a smile goes a long way. then Glad is sure of success wherever she may go. JULIA EXINE LOVIN. A.B. Decatuk, Alabama President Phi Sigma Literary Society, ' 26 ; Vice President Y. W. C.

Lovin is no misnomer for one who is endowed with such an unselfish nature and frienilly dispo- sition. In every phase of student activity Julia has found her niche and filled it well. As the capable editor of our paper this year she has ren- dered a great service to the school. FLORENCE ARCHER MOORE. A B. Hopewell. Virginia Treasurer Classic Club.

Here is our lovely lady from Ole Virginny. We could wax eloquent about her beauty, but elo- quence is rather out of style. You can glance at her ijicture and be convinced that we ' re right. Florence came to us from Randolph-Macon, bring- ing a (plaint little accent and charming smile that ha- won a place for her in the hearts of us all. JEAN McCOY. A.B. Athens, Alabama President Glee Club, ' 27, 28. ' 29: President Sophomore Class. ' 27 ; President Junior Class. ' 2S ; Student Council. ' 27, 28. Jean possesses the secret of grooming herself in the most becoming costumes and wearing them with charming grace and style. As president of her class for two years, she has shown unusual executive ability. Since last summer there seems to be a special attraction for her out where the West begins.

There is a refined elegance about her which is a priceless gift to personality. She is the kindliest friend imaKinable. with an abidint; interest in people. HELEN NABORS. B.S. Ho m f Eco H am ica SiLUKiA, Alabama Sigma Delta Literary Society ; Home Economics Club: Crow ' s Nest Staff. ' 2S- ' 29.

' 28. A glance at the above list of honors is proof of Emily ' s executive ability. She is a product of Rivers Academy, of which the school can be justly proud. Emily possesses that rare art of character impersonation, and we predict for her the career of a Barrymore in the dramatic world. EFFIE KATHRYN OZLEY. B.S. Horn - EconomicH SiLURiA.

If you ' ve ever seen the Statue of Liberty out- lined against the sky line of New York [Editor ' s Note : We admit that we haven ' t], you ' ll know how Beck looms against the horizon of college life. Since she has risen to pedagogical circle.-;, we miss seeing her stride across the campus or swinging a tennis racket. The offices Uft vacant by her absence are a testimony to the esteem in which she is held by the student body. SENIOR CLASS MABLE ETHEL PHILLIPS. A.B. Athens.

Ethel is so contagiously capricious, and how easy it is to become enamored by such lustrous brown eyes ! She is best characterized by her boy- ish manner and her frank, friendly smile. Such an ease of manner is admirable. JANIE ELIZABETH RAGAN. A.B. Hartsblle, Alabama Y. W. C. A. Cabinet. ' 26. ' 27, ' 28 : Treasurer Spanish Club. ' 29 : President P. K. Club.

In Janie we find a girl whose manner seems for- mal, but marvelously in keejiing with any situ- ation. She has no tciual for kindliness, and would prove an agreeable addition to any acquaintance. Janie covers a multitude of thoughts with one slow friendly smile. One finds it difficult to keep up with her prodijjrious activity. WILMA HOWARD RICE. A.B. Albbktville.

Discreetly severe, yet liberal upon ail just occa- iions, Wilma is esteemed by all. She was among those college students fortunate enough to be in the P W ranks at Blue Ridge last summer. We predict that she will find happiness in life because of her ability to see the silver lining through every cloud. SARAH RIGGS, A.B. BlHMlNGHAM, ALABAMA Treasurer Birmingham-Southern Y. W. C. A .

TI ss SMaid of S thens A-- aid of Athens - BASKET BALL Yea, team! and out rushes the Athens Coyotes, with Manager McGregor in the lead. Yea, Lena! The great- est confidence fills the heart of every side-liner when these cagers swing into line. During our last year of intercollegiate work, our team, which for a time had been in a dormant state, received a great impetus. Freshman McGregor, and in 1927-28 Ath- ens came to the front in basketballdom. Lena will go down with others in the sport annals of fame in basketball at Athens College. The high lights of this year ' s basket ball season were the two games between the Phi Sigma and Sigma Delta Lit- erary Societies — one game played on Thanksgiving Day, the other played near the close of the season. Sigma Del- tas walked off with both victories, but the last one was gained by a close score of 19 to 15. Elizabeth Morelock was captain of Phi Sigmas in this clash, and Lena McGregor led the Sigma Deltas as Captain. During practices the Freshmen have shown more interest and pep than any other class, always having a large representation out to play. Next year ' s Soph, team should be a strong contender for the interclass title. A Varsity team in basketball has been selected, but will not be announced until the annual sports banquet in the spring. aid of Athens BASEBALL Batter up! The baseball season opens and finds many Athenians falling into line for the rest of the year. As in everything else she goes into, Manager Streater gets every one interested in a whirlpool of bats, balls, fouls, home runs, and sore throats from yelling. Woman ' s College lost a good booster and Athens gained one when Jot came to our campus. How could the Coyotes have been spurred on to victory if Jot had not been lead- ing the cheers on the side lines? She is showing the same pep and interest in baseball, and is a great promoter of the nation ' s leading sport at Athens. It is surprising to note how students have defeated the spring fever and have be- come addicts to the Babe Ruth fad. We wonder whether the reason is to keep that willowy figure, or just a spring urge to gambol on the green. Classes bat and battle against each other, but the chief characteristic of the sport remains — that is, to play for play ' s sake. The teams keep in mind, however, that every point gained will help pile up their final score for the loving cup awarded at Commence- ment to the class excelling in all sports. «t„=:i-:S, fe ii J 53 ' Maid of Athens HIKING Dorothy is capable, dependable, and a booster of all school activities. She has perseverance in every task. Go ask Dotty Hagood ; she can tell us something, for she has an unusual range of ideas, and thinks and acts in new manners every day. Now, Dotty, make five thousand miles your goal, but let us give you just a little advice. Re- member, this is a hike a la pes and no lifts along the way, because — it just isn ' t the thing to do. Hiking is a sport at Athens College which every student has entered into whole-heartedly. Even if every one is not talented in some special sport, noboby is so disabled that she cannot walk. We doubt whether they have any shoo soles left. The sidewalks and roads are showing wear and tear, which seems evidence of the fact that they have been used by extensive hiking. Girls have crawled out of bed at the bust o ' dawn to go on sunrise hikes, and girls who just can ' t get to breakfast on time have actually gone on early morning gypsy hikes -and have taken their breakfasts with them. There have been numerous kinds of hikes this year, but when a special one can ' t be thought of — why, we just hike! Whether walking is crowded or not, we needs must hike. H aid of Athens i TENNIS The tennis courts fairly bristled with keen participa- tion in the Spring Tournament. Manager David Wocdall, for all her femininity, is living up to her hair cut, and is putting the sport over like a man. David is a living ex- ample of the fact that rats really accomplish what they set out to do. She has taken an active part in all sports since she hit the campus in September. What better sport is there than tennis, anyway? None, shouts David, as she calls forty love to hei- opponent on the court. The three tine year-round courts on the back campus have helped to make tennis one of the most popular sports among the students. Every maid of Athens takes gjeat delight in showing the ten- nis courts to visitors and relating the merits of the champions to C3me from Athens College. A singles tournament was started in March and ended on April 10. A loviug cup was given to the winner of the tournament, and a Varsity letter was presented to the winner and the runner-up. maid of Athens - J M TRACK Elizabeth is full of fun and interest in every phase of athletics on the campus. She is just the girl for track manager. She fleets about like quicksilver. Vigor, pep, and zest are her chief characteristics, and she is always ready for wholesome fun. She is democratic and sees the rights of others before her owm. Elizabeth ' s always doing something to let us know all ' s right with the world. In the Academy she won an enviable rep in basketball, which she has retained and increased during her Freshman year. Puff! Puff! Not the Pan-American, but the Athens students training for track. Freshmen, Sophs, Juniors, and even dignified Seniors, all sprinting to breakfast and to classes, preparing for the first interclass track and field day. Such events as hurdles, one-hundred-yard dash, bi ' oad jump, basketball throw, base- ball throw, relays, and novelty events were offered. From the class having the most points and numerals a team is chosen, and from all the class teams a Varisty track team is selected. Announcement of the Varsity team and awarding of college letters is made at the annual sports banquet in the spring. aid of Athens SWIMMING Mildred is another one of the booster band for athletics on the campus. She is bubbling over with enthusiasm antl determination. When work interferes with pleasure, she makes a delightful combination of the two, finding pleas- ure in her work. She is endowed with the gift of coordi- nation between mind and body, which results in a fine athlete. Mildred has the ability and initiative to impart her skill in swimming to others. She is a believer in the motto, Sports for all at Athens. Swimming is one of our major sports. For those who hunger to try their skill in competition there are inter- class and interorganization meets; for the girls who prefer not to attempt such ambi- tious competition there are simple and advanced classes; and for those who swim like rocks a beginners ' class is offered. We have a course in Red Cross Life Saving — Junior, Senior, and examiner ' s emblems being given to those who pass the course tests. At the end of the year a Varsity team is selected and awarded with college letters. aid of j thens -r ( HORSEBACK RIDING After spending her Freshman year at Montevallo, Cath- arine decided to continue her college career with us. We are lucky to have such a sportswoman on our campus. As leader of the riding enthusiasts, Manager Beard has been very successful. Under her protective care there have been few acts of the Prince of Wails vairety to happen. Catharine ' s treatment of the horses merits her an hon- orary membership in the most humane of all humane soci- eties, whichever one that may be. Giddy-ap! Whoa! — and other horsey expressions. Be it truthfully said that our steeds are always willing tj giddy-ap, but the whoa part is always a matter for cur speculation. No casualties have been reported this year, however, which certainly speaks well for the riders or for kindly tendencies on the part of said beasts. Roads and paths around Athens serve as beautiful bridle paths, especially in fall and spring. There is an arrangement in the athletic point system which provides extra points for hurdling and good riding form. We are developing riders who would make Buffalo Bill hide his head in shame. tai .= y- ' JJL4C g| a, x Q V- - i i-Q ' tflfc T ' - J ' STUDENT COUNCIL Sarah Ricgs Effie Ozley Mabkl W ' ilcoxson Mary Turner Kelly Thelma SpRr t.

We present to you four Athenian beauties, chosen by a popular vote of the student body. Theirs is the type of beauty admired today, not because of its ornamentality, but because it portrays the vivaciousness of youth. May this volume keep these fair pictures as intact as an old locket kept those pictures so dear to the hearts of colonial lovers. 81 MABEL ANN FARRINGTON RUBY JANE GRAHAM FLORENCE ARCHER MOORE ANN REDUS SMITH TWELVE FAVORITES On samplers made by our grandmothers favorite verses and designs were embroidered with the daintiest of stitches and the choicest of threads. We have made a sampler on which we have worked twelve types of student personality. These favorites were selected by a vote of the student body ; therefore ours is a true sam- pler of Athens College. 86 MARY SCOTT Most Representative ELIZABETH MORELOCK Most Versatile ELSIE LEE McKENZIE Most Popular SHINKO TSUKAZAKI Quaintest SARAH RIGGS The Idealist MILDRED POTT Most Artistic PAULINE WOOD JoIIiest MARY WAITS Most Naive JEAN McCOY Vogue Model EVELYN WALDROP Cutest LENA McGregor Most Athletic GLYN JENKINS Wittiest F i 1 W ff I] 1 THE COWS NEST MOTTO: Avoid all Tipograffickle Errers VOL ECKS MADE AT HENS KOLLEGE NO. 13 CAGLE TO REPLACE HAL- LIBURTON ON SOUTH- ERN CONCERT TOUR YOUTHFUL ATHENIAN WINS NATIONAL FAME AFTER DARING FEAT Onsi does not fee ' so different when greatness is thrust upon him, Miss Ca- g e stated when in- terviewed after her nonstop hike from Athens to Decatur, because one usually lives to be great. When we pleaded for a story, she hes- itated, like one who thinks deeply, and opened her other- wise brown eyes and began : On March 2;!, bright and early, I set out for this long- coveted goal, smiling and determined, with a look of ' conquer or bust ' in my eyes— and a sandwich in my left pocket. It was 9 o ' clock, and traffic was jammed along the highway, as usual. I walked rather slowly at first, real- izing that I would doubtless gain mo- mentum when the first Ford passed. At last the time came for speed, when a 1830 m o d e 1 Ford chassis approached, with gas tank and motor accessories — the only one of its kind in captivity. The driver, an agent for Fairhills Scales Company — and a man who could well advertise his busi- ness, since he had so much faith in avoir- dupois — alighted and offered me a cush- ioned seat beside him.

For some the library is a most convenient place to meet and talk over one ' s latest conquest or vic- tory.

One shy maid, wishing to raise her grade, said: Mr. Cooke, may I en- large on that sen- tence? . s he was curious to know how it could be enlarged upon, he gave his permission.

Assistant Professor of Enprlish. It has become a precedent for the prize story to appear in the Maid of Athens each year.] TV PRIL 15, 1777. — Dear nie, what days these last two have been! Sad to some, alas! y but to me ' wondrous; for did not I, Mary Amanthis Blair, serve my country? Scarcely does it seem possible, but the captain himself said that I am a true soldier and a patriot. Two nights ago, when I climbed into bed and snuggled down under my pink com- forter that Aunt Cynthia sent all the way from England last fall — I do love it so, for the pink seems of our lovely wild rose — all was so tranquil. The cowbells tinkling softly in the meadow behind the house and the murmuring sounds that came from the Cimp of the Continentals down beyond the cow pasture seemed as a part of the night. Pray, who would have thought of danger, even though I had seen, only the day before, boxes carried into the old smokehouse in our backyard? Father called it ammunition, and I saw with mine own eyes the horrid bullets and powder. But yester morn when I awoke, la! I could scarce believe my senses, for the lawn and veranda were covered with horses and Red Coats. They took no heed of my pretty jonquils, just beginning to peep out into the sunny air, but trampled them mercilessly. Of those who were not occupied in throwing up breatsworks across the road before the house, some rummaged about the outer houses, and some killed the poor squawking chickens, and others ran much and fell into the mud vainly trying to catch my pi-etty guineas, for as a puffing, angry Red Coat pounced upon a guinea it would rise and fly for many yards. I could not restrain my mirth, though frightened out of my wits. Down beyond the pasture C3uld be seen our whig soldiers hastening to strengthen their fortifications. The prospect was most exhilarating, and, naughty girl that I am, I could not but feel some joy mixed in with fear at the thought of an impending battle — im- pending, I say, for la ! all was so peaceful and friendly that it was hard to conceive of the horrors of war. Then, too, I had forgotten those boxes in the storehouse — those boxe.s which held bullets on which that small army near us depended. When I had hurriedly dressed, I slipped down the back stair, prepared to frighten black Dinah in the kitchen; but my purpose was never accomplished, for just as I reached the curve in the stairway I heard mother and father conversing in low, tense t nes on the steps below me. We could not see each other for the curve in the stairway, but by the tone cf the vo ices I at once realized that that of which they spoke was not for my ears; but though I slipped away as quickly as possible, I could not but hear my father say: Mary, we must get those boxes through — I heard no more, but that was enough to set mc thinking. At first I believed that the boxes must mean our boxes of hr-usehcld goods, but that I dismissed, for only a few days ago the silver and other valuables were safely buried in the woods. I thought and thought — how stupid of me! And suddenly I know what he meant — the boxes in the smokehouse, of course! We must get them through to our soldiers. I knew that we must, but how? I thought about it during breakfast and after breakfast, but my wondrous plan did not come until, looking out of my window while pondering, I saw that the cows had not been driven to pasture and that the Red Coats were taking for themselves the rich, sweet milk which we were wont to leave for our own soldiers. Our custom was to take all the milk that we needed, drive the cows to pasture, and the men in the camp would take the remainder. It must not be thought that the great idea was mine own. No, the thought was not mine. I am quite far advanced in our district school, so that I have been studying the Odyssey, and, though I find it sometimes entertaining, have often grumbled that it would benefit me no more when it was done with. That, however, has been retracted; for, strange to relate, it was the Odyssey that bethought me of my marvelous plot. S? fD? aid of Athens All (lay I thought and schemed. It seemed as if nijrht would never come. Indeed, had .1 not had tasks to perform, truly methinks I could not have lived until the dark. And I was sore afraid that father minht attempt some less safe manner of trans- portation than I intended. At first I thoufrht to tell him of the way that I had planned, but as it seemed quite impractical when put into words, I determined to carry out my project alone. But no, not quite alone. I realized that I had not time to accomplish my purpose without help; so I took as my confidant Jenny Eve, a negro girl of ours, who, little more than my own fourteen years, has been raised about the house and has been my companion in more than one mischievous prank. When I first disclosed my plan to her, Jenny showed little enthusiasm; but as the details were woven in, I saw her begin to grin broadly; and when I told of how Ulysees had brought his men safely out of Polyphemus ' cave tied under the goats, she rolled on the ground with suppressed mirth, and I knew that my point was won. Lawsy, Miss Anianthis, she gasped, if you-all don ' t have some ideas; but s ' pose dey wuz to ketch us I But they won ' t, I assured her, with greater confidence in my voice than in my heart, for I had been asking myself that same question all day. Late that clear moonlit night — it hardly seems possible that it was only last night — I slipped down the back stairs and out into the clear air, with my arms full of narrow strips of light huff calico torn from an old skirt, and joined Jenny, equipped with dark home-spun hags, under the back-porch steps. Pickets had been posted all about the place, and we could hear little sticks break under their feet as they marched up and down, and at intervals we could hear them call to each other as they drew nearer together. Fortunately, no one seemed stirring in the camp, and a man on picket duty just behind the barn seemed to be the only imminent danger. It seemed as if everything fitted per- fectly with our need until we reached the smokehouse door. I was stricken suddenly quite dumb as I realized that we could not proceed. Jenny voiced my trouble almost immediately when she whispered in a husky voice: We haben ' t got de key I For a moment I was speechless; then my mind became clear. Wouldn ' t the key have been nlaced where both father and the soldiers would have easy access to it? I expressed this idea to Jenny, who instantly dropped to her knees and began to search under every stone. But my thoughts being more lofty, I devoted my search to the crevices about the top of the door. As I looke l around to see what occupied my confederate, my eye fell on a bluebird ' s nest in an old walnut tree near by. A woodpecker made the hole in the wood last year, and the bluebirds built there. The nest had been torn out, and, in truth, when I felt down in the decayed wood, I found the key. It took but little time to enter the bullets ' storage room; and though I feared that surely some one would hear the loud, squeaking noises when the boxes were opened, no one came. At first it took much determination to handle the bullets, but soon my timidity disappeared, as they seemed quite harmless, and I was truly doing my share of the work as we two filled the long, narrow bags and some pillowcases with the precious stuff. It was fully one by the clock before all the little bags were filled. They were able to contain all the powder and all but a few pounds of the leaden bullets. It probably took as much as another hour to carry them to the barn, for I could carry but one at a time to Jenny ' s two. I wondered whether the cows would be able to carry them, but Jenny assured me that cows are very strong. Just as we carried the last of the load into the barn, guards changed, and we were forced to remain most quiet as they passed the open barn door. Presently, however, quiet again prevailed ; and after Jenny had placed hay in the stalls to keep the animals quiet, we began to tie the sacks under them. The horror that passed over me on hearing a stealthy step outside the door was unspeakable, and Jenny and I drew back into the shadows none too soon as one of the Red Coats entered. His actions at first puzzled me, for instead of looking about for us, as we expected, he fumbled with his hand along the wall until he found a quart cup hanging there, which we sometimes used in milking. He then approached a temperamental old cow, Pansy, making little soothing noises which would have seemed ridiculous had we been less frightened. He finally reached the bossy and started milking operations; but milking, ..A. id of Athens S .,cSWl like knitting, is far more difficult than appearances warrant, and no warm drink I ' e- warded his labors. Presently Pansy, irritated beyond self-control, none too gently placed her hind foot suddenly in the center of his stomach. With a smothered oath he fell sprawled on the straw-covered barn floor. He jumped up, limping slightly, and snatched a pitchfork from against the wall. La, I scarce could breathe; but as Pansy turned her great brown eyes, for which she was named, upon him, he dropped the fork and fled precipitately. After his departure, we both laughed hysterically; but it was with difficulty that I was able to continue my task. When we crept back to the house, having completed the night ' s work, about two hours were remaining before dawn ; so I lay down on my bed — but not to sleep. Before me lay the most difficult of problems. How I was to get the cattle to pasture before the British discovered the burdens tied under them, I knew not. I felt that in some way I must succeed, but I was torn between desire to discontinue my part in the matter and that of helping my dear father, and, more than that, of aiding America — my country. Just before daybreak I rose and went again downstairs, and, having roused Jenny Eve from slumber, took buckets to the barn and with her aid milked several of the cows. We had not time to milk more. In the dim light of early morning the secret parcels were not noticeable, the buff strips securing them being much the color of the cows themselves. Several of the British were busying themselves about the camp, and they watched with interest as we carried bucket after bucket and set each well in sight. Then as the first streaks of light appeared above the horizon, Jenny, with great bustle and confusion, drove the herd, unchallenged, into pasturage, and we heard with i-elief the bells tinkling down on the far side of the pasture. Presently the American soldiers were softly calling to them. One of the pickets near us, looking hungrily at the cov- ered milk bucket, remarked with loud laughter that they probably wouldn ' t find much milk for one morning; and as we walked slowly away, Jenny tittered nervously: What ' s dem sojers gonna say when dey finds all dat water in dem pails? But I did not answer. I was wondering myself. There was an angry uproar in the yard when our ruse was discovered ; but as they thought that our only object was to send the Americans a good breakfast, some only laughed good-naturedly; and though there was talk of arresting father, nothing was done about it. Some time later in the morning our American men attacked, but of the battle I know little, for we hurried to the cellar, and during the sound of firing I fell asleep, greatly tired by the sleepless night just passed. When I awoke, the battle had already been won for America. The British, though making preparations for a skirmish, had been surprised by an attack from, as they supposed, a weak foe; but they could not have been as surprised as were our men when I told of how it was Jenny and I who had sent the ammunition tied under the unsuspected cows. And now comes the part so sweet that I can scarce believe its truth. When I had finished telling all about last night, the captain bent and kissed my hand. By your leave, he said, for the bravest little American in the colonies, and gave me a silver buckle from his knee.

The world, fascinated, watches. Youth prepares to go out into life; the world holds its breath. What is Youth going to do with that life? E.xcited Youth — joyous Youth — expectant Youth — how is it to know? What will it be? What is worth while? And fi ' om the world, with a ons of experience, conies the answer: Only those things are worth while which you can take with you into eternity. Don ' t waste your life on useless things. It is too short. Listen to us ; we know. But what is useless? Worry is useless. What is done, is done; what will be, will be. Worry is petty, weak, futile. It shows lack of faith in God. Discontent is useless ; let it go. Where you are, you should be ; what you have, you should have. Make the best of it. Leave off self-seeking. If you gain power, money, fame, what will it profit you in the eternity that is to come? What, after all, will it profit you now? Do fame, money, power, then, bring happiness? Nay, if you wish something for yourself, help another to gain it. Do not use others as stepping stones ; be a step- ping stone for others. You are of no moment ; there have been too many millions like you. But others, the great mass of others, the thousands who are not you, have their significance. Seek for them and not for yourself. Listen to us. Life has taught us, as it will teach you. Youth. Leaving off these, what is there? O, there is the soul! There is Time, with its countless possibilities. Remember that Time is always, but Today is only once. Use your Time. There is work. Sorrow comes to you? Work, and forget ! Guard your faith and your friends, for they will stay with you forever. Remembering these things, keep your happiness. If you are not happy today, you never will be; .so be happy now. Life was meant to be happy; and when life is worth while, it is happy.

He gave you form and shaped This rounding tower, Made he from soil This stanch molded bower, And placed within a heart that waked. New birth poured forth in melody, Child of senseless earth.

Yet an age grander, For having toiled for men, and won. DEDICATION We come to gaze in silent awe — Yea, reverence — at thy feet. To catch the age-old message, to draw Some lesson of truth from whisper sweet. Your silenced tongue has shaped the tones, For hearts passed on before; Clear notes of joy, mellowed moans. Have left your walls years many score. Could you but speak your story long Of human strife and shells, Of battle cries, of bullet songs. Of men and time and years. Could not be found a head so wise. So honored, or so famed; We see you as a seer disguised. And pay you honor, due and gained. We give to you this ground to hold. In dedication sincere, To those before, whose shadows fold Our honest efforts here. When you a century more shall see, And we are then the dust. May those be what we wish to be.

But with all its bulk and strength, this mountain of steel relies upon one simple mechanism — its rudder. KNOWLEDGE . . . — Can be compared to a rudder. It enables those who possess it to steer a straight course through the seas of joy and sorrow toward an ultimate port — the end of a successful life. You ' re Equipped for the Voyage — College Days will shortly fade into the past. But you will feel their influence throughout the years. The education you have acquired will assist you in keeping upon the right course. YOURE FORTUNATE . . . Accept Oar Congratulations and Best Wishes --- T. M. B. A. ROGERS OF ROGERS DEPT, STORE Florence, Alabama S)ay -after-day Performance A high mark in one examina- tion, or in one study, doesn ' t make a successful school record. That is achieved only by good grades day after day in every subject. It ' s the same way with suc- cessful stores. The value of the service which a store ofl ers you is measured, not by the per- formance of any one department, or an occasional value feature: hut by steady day-after-day per- formance in every department. That is the service this store strives to give. H. q . Kin Co. DEPARTMENT STORE Florence, Ala. Report of the Condition — of — The First National Bank FLORENCE. ALABAMA At the Close of Business.
