In future life may this be his fate. That his fame will spread, at a very great rate; May Baby Bennett a man grow to be. Who’ll live up to the name of Robert Lee. ( 24 ) Senior Class Virginia Taylor Fuqua SURRY COURTHOUSE, VA. Class President Virginia, our President, has been faithful and true. No wonder we love her. There never has been a task so great that she has not been willing to lend a helping hand and do her bit. We ll be sorry when the time comes to say “farewell.” jH5 Lottie Mae Garrett CENTRE CROSS, VA. Clcss Vice-President Though her work has been her constant com¬ panion, she has found time to make good on the basketball court. She is gentle, unassuming, and always lives up to the highest ideals. Found ever faithful to duty and diligent in all pur¬ suits”—That ' s Lottie. ( 25 ) Senior Class Hattie Lee Canada CLOVER, VA. Class Secretary We have known Hattie two years. Her friend¬ ship is one that grows stronger as the days come and go. Her earnest, brown eyes help us to do better the many duties which we have to perform. As she leaves us we feel that her friend¬ ship is one that will be sweet when “our heads are white with the frost of many winters. Each and every one of us wish for her as she travels the long road of life, all that happiness can provide. Everette Harrison Marks PETERSBURG, VA. Class Treasurer Everett’s favorite pastime is studying. Work seems to be her watchword. She leaves college with great honor, and we are sure she will win ill the laurels which can be bestowed upon one in her future journey through life. ( 26 ) Senior Class t Nannie Sue Crute WILSON, N. C. Listen! What is that we hear? Someone sing¬ ing? Yes, its Nannie Sue. She’s coming back from some task, or probably she’s just going; anyway, she s singing as she goes. She has won her way into all the activities of our school —serving as basket¬ ball captain, as ed- itor-in-chief of the Blacfystonian, and on the Y. W. C. A. Cab¬ inet. Many wishes for her success will always follow ou faithful, attractive, loving Sudie.” Maggie Theresa Davis PORTSMOUTH, VA. Like the sunshine that follows the rain, Maggie has been as a ray of light to her classmates during the one year she has spent with us. She seems to have a magic power and her gentle, winning ways touch the hearts of every¬ one. She must have touched the heart of someone once-upon- a-time, for she wears a sparkler in the right place. Always she takes with her the sincere good wishes of her many friends. ( 27 ) Senior Class Edith Vanelia Grinels AMBURG, VA. With fi rm resolutions and a life wholly sur¬ rendered for service in the Master’s cause, Edith came to us two years ago. Her stay at Black- stone has been a blessing to the college. As she goes out in the wide field for service, we wish for her “ample sunshine with only sufficient cloud to make a glorious sun¬ set.” Mary Alma Hopkins ROCKY MOUNT, VA. Alma comes back to B. C. G. to give the girls a race in her classes. Although she carries a light course, what she does she does it well. She is the conversationalist of the class, for when conversation lags Alma says something that starts things moving. ( 28 ) Senior Class Frances Lee Hurdle UNION RIDGE, N. C. Light hair, blue eyes, a bright May morning disposition, always happy and easy-going, are the pleasing characteristics of Frances. She is a conscientious student, attending strictly to her cwn business. For her we predict a happy, happy future in this old world, and one full of friends wherever she may g°- Georgia Kate Moore SHUFF, VA. Georgia came to B. C. G. two years ago as the most dignified girl in school, and she leaves as such. Never do things go opposite to the rules and regulations when in her presence. Georgia is such a source of helpfulness that most of the girls go to her with their burdens. Many girls have been helped on the road to success by her gen¬ erosity of knowledge and sunshine. ( 29 ) Senior Class Marjorie Virginia Savedge DENDRON, VA. Marjorie is the most talented in instrumental music in the Senior Class. She has plenty of stick- to-it-iveness—the kind that gets some place. Everyone loves her and there are very few girls whom she has not helped by her loving and cheerful dispo¬ sition. She is a g irl with a purpose in life, and by her Christian character we expect her to have much influence for good in her work. Lavinia Elizabeth Thomas BRISTOL, TENN. Lavinia ' s sweet, sunny disposition is a sunbeam that has cheered us when the days were gloomy and all seemed dark. In the midst of all our troubles can be heard her “characteristic laugh, yet the firmness that we see in her eyes tells us that when necessary she can see the serious side of life. May she retain the same attitude to¬ wards her future friends that she has shown to her class¬ mates. ( 30 ) Senior Class Prophecy I was night and all was still. I had lain awake for hours, fretting, worry¬ ing and wondering what would be the fate of our Senior Class. Suddenly the window opened and a dark form entered. A long bony hand, whose fingers crooked as does the claws of an eagle, assisted it to slide towards f the room. I sat up in bed. As it came nearer I saw that an abundance of long, black, sticky-looking hair covered a small head. Two black eyes glared at me, while from a thin slit in the face came these words: “Fool, why bother about the future? But since you wish it, the unknown will be revealed. If you are sorry, don’t blame me.’’ 1 aking my hand in hers she glided through the door, dragging me, a poor forlorn, frightened piece of humanity at her side. We entered a dark woods from which moans and groans could be heard. I shivered and was calmed only by a shrill laugh from the witch. We stepped into a deep hole—down, down we went. At last we landed in front of a large door. 1 his was opened and I beheld a huge fire through which one could not see. “Now,” said the witch, “your desire shall be granted.” The fire glowed. I saw a fat, sweet-faced lady who seemed to be doing a thriving business as a restaurant keeper. She was rushing around at a great rate, busy as when at B. C. G., shoving dishes of beans and cabbages under the nose of rough-looking fellows. Now and then she gave one of her most intimate customers a piece of her mind when he jabbed a knife full of food into his mouth, a thing positively against the rules of Fuqua’s restaurant. I realized that it was none other than our President, Virginia b uqua. Again the fire flamed up, and I saw a building which the witch said was Randolph- Macon College. At the gate were these words, “Let no man enter on pain of death.” 1 he door opened and I saw sitting at a desk an elderly lady. “She is the President,” explained the witch. Imagine my astonishment when I recognized Hattie Canada! 1 he scene changed and I saw a jungle, through which a path tried to run. The bushes moved and I saw a tall, manly man, helping a small dark-haired little girl over a fallen limb. “Behold! Your clssamate, Edith Grinels and her husband, who is a doctor. They are medical missionaries to Africa.” 1 he fire blazed and I saw a stage, beautiful in its setting and scenery. In the center of the stage stood a middle-sized woman, adorned in a dress of glittering gold. She began to sing and I was simply entranced. The loud stamping of the crowd brought me to earth. I then recognized in this wonderful singer our modest Lottie Garrett. 1 his scene disappeared. I saw a small school room. At the table sat a dignified lady. She called to her side a dirty-faced boy, who had been sewed up for the winter. 1 he lady took a wet rag and began to apply the rod of cleanliness to the face in such ( 31 ) the center a stern manner that I realized I was facing our Student Government President, Georgia Moore. I started to speak, but the picture was gone. Next I saw a street in New York. A han dsomely dressed lady stepped from a limousine. Looking closer, I realized that her cheeks were painted, her eyebrows pen¬ cilled, and her hair blacked with dye. “That is Everett Marks, who owns numerous picture shows, and is the pattern for fashion in America.’’ I was horror-stricken and closed my eyes. I heard a voice that I thought I had heard before. Looking up, I saw a sweet little home covered with rambler roses. A very THIN lady came to the door. She carried a child, and at her skirt clung a chubby little chap of six. Up the walk came a handsome man. “Oh, Bob, dear, you are late!” was the gentle reproof. He put his arm around her, and—Oh, well, I recognized my classmate, Lavinia Thomas. I looked again and saw a very stout, sunburned woman bending over a book. “She is the author of ten books on “Bugology,” and her real name is Frances Hurdle,” said my interpreter. The picture faded, and in its place I saw a small room. A parrot in a cage hung from the wall and shook a foot at a poodle dog below, while he said, “Be technical!” The bewildered dog only wrinkled up his nose in contempt. A woman was on her knees before a tub of suds, washing with all her might a once white kitten. On the other side of the tub were a dozen other wet cats, who, while shaking themselves dry, seemed to say, “No more baths until tomorrow.” As the woman raised her hand to her face I realized that my classmate, Marjorie Savedge, had not married. 1 hen a high school loomed up in sight. I saw a class of forty pupils. A modest lady was speaking French so fluently and distinctly that no one could fail to hear or understand. I was astonished when a pupil said, “Miss Alma Hopkins!” Next I saw inside of a dilapidated church. The preacher reminded me of Ichabod Crane. He said, “Folks say I don’t know nothing, but this I do know, that ‘p-s-a-l-m’ spells ‘Epsilom.’ ” The choir began to sing; each seemed to have been raised upon the wrong tune. On the organ stool I saw a tall, light-haired woman, wearing a rustic brown suit. On her head she wore a small hat covered over with a purple plume. “She is the preacher’s wife.” It was no other than our talented and dainty classmate, Nannie Sue Crute. 1 he fire grew low, and I saw a padded cell. A woman was being placed in one of these. “She lost her mind over English note books at B. C. G.,” laughed the witch as she vanished. 1 he woman turned and I recognized none other than. Yours truly, Maggie Davd.

Not for money, nor for fame Nor yet ‘‘just for fun’; But for the good of Blackslone And this is how she begun. Things were turned all upside down And nothing was what it seemed. For a teacher wrought in Blackstone With “Publications” for her theme. Such as magazines and annuals, To forge a college dream. Where other teachers bent their gaze She led successfully thru, And the horn that had ne-er been tooted Bellowed a far halloo. For where Blackstone had ne’er sailed, Sailed Miss Johnson and her crew. So n’er more old Blackstone College Need backward warp and veer, But on the works of Johnson The steady rise shall steer, ‘Till “B. C. G. a leader is Of colleges far and near. —H. C.

He ' s so human he very near talks, So people say, when he goes on his walks. May he ever have a sweater that is new, May his rubbers always be shiny, too, May his own little bed be downy and soft, May he never be forced to sleep in a loft. So here’s to Mutt of dear old 20, May he always live in peace and plenty, May his years extend to twenty and seven, Then may he go to Good Dog Heaven.

Ella Evelyn Robertson . President . . Vice-President . . Secretary) Treasurer ( 45 ) 1 Senior Class Cora Taylor Younger STOVALL, N. C. “The secret of success is constancy of purpose.” Our President—and the best ever! She has been a friend to all, always cheerful and ready to sympathize. Well, she deserves to be Who’s Who in B. C.” Maudine Blevins BRISTOL, TENN. “ It’s the song ye sing and the smiles ye wear. That ' s a-ma in the sun shine everywhere. Who could help loving Maudine, with her sunny disposition and pleasant manner? She is a rare good pal in all mischief and pranks, but is equally as active in her studies—especially Vergil. Annie Mae Adams CUMBERLAND, VA. “Questionnaire Pretty? Endowed with the natural stuff. Popular? We say so! Play basketball? Yes, and wins, too. Good sport? On all oc¬ casions. Good student? Few sur¬ pass her. Anything more to say? The half has not yet been told. ( 46 ) Senior Class Ella Robertson SPOUT SPRING, VA. Do unto others as you I vould have them do unto you. ' Ella has won her way into our hearts by her ever-ready smile and her willingness to help others. Her loyalty to her classmates and friendliness to all have caused her to be a great favorite among us. Sarah Anderson NOEL, VA. “A cheerful temper joined rvith innocence. Sarah has been with us four short years. We hope when she leaves here she will find another place as pleasant as 11 N. B. Lula Anderson DOLPHIN, VA. “ Industrious , eu de-arval e, and faithful. Lula came to our College three years ago. She never forgets her lessons, or to bring her music, or io register her name. She has not only won success in all her work, but won many friends besides. ( 47 ) Senior Class Alice G. Bailey HANOVER, VA. “Happy I am, from care I ' m free. “Why aren’t they all contented like me? What B. C. G. will do without Bailey is more than we can imagine. She is right there when it comes to any kind of fun or jokes—even to sleeping under the Dean’s bed. Some day when we link our fingers together to make a wish, instead of saying “Long¬ fellow and Byron,” we will say Longfellow and Bailey. Inez Bell SURRY, VA. Never put off until tomorrow IVhat map be done todap. The time has come when Inez must leave her classmates. We would not have her remain here, now that she is ready to take up her voca¬ tion. She carries with her the love and best wishes of the class. Lucy Bouldin RUSTBURG, VA. Is there a heart that music cannot melt?” In Lucy we behold an ideal Senior, talented in piano and voice—gen¬ erous and unselfish, with the highest sense of duty. We can predict for her the most successful career in foreign lands as well as at home. ( 48 ) Senior Class Lolita Brown PHILIPPI, W. VA. True greatness lies in quietness.” Lolita is a quiet girl it is true, but we never can tell about these quiet girls. They ' re the ones that count. We are expecting great things of her, and you would never believe it, but she has the “sweet¬ est smile.” Bertha Brockenbrough HOWARDSVILLE, VA. “She never groivs tired when there is a chance for fun near.” Bertha is a mischievous girl, and is always playing jokes on her friends. We enjoy her merry laughter, especially when she has “pulled off a big one on Eliza¬ beth. We wish her all success in whatever profession she takes up. Calphurnia Brubaker WINCHESTER, VA. Smile and the world smiles with you.” Calphurnia is a pleasant, quiet girl. We can usually tell it ' s the happy and independent “Callie B.”, as we hear her soft footsteps approach¬ ing the door, and some way she always manages to find the “Silver lining to every dark cloud.” ( 49 ) Senior Class Janie Burnett BEDFORD, VA. “A genial-hearted , true and loving girl.” Janie is one of the girls who sees the importance of an education. She spends most of her time study¬ ing, yet she does not let her books interfere with her other duties. Mary Lucy Betts ASHEVILLE, N. C. Warm-hearted , loyal, and ever faithful.” This is Mary Lucy. Qualities like these do not escape notice, and it can be truthfully said that she is a “typical Senior.” Lizzie Bugg UNION LEVEL, VA. To Ifnorv her is to love her.” “M iss Lizzie” has only been with us two years, but she has formed lasting friendships, which make it hard to part from her. It is cer¬ tain that wherever she goes next year she will make a good repre¬ sentative from Blackstone College. ( 50 ) Senior Class Blanche Cabaniss BROOKNEAL, VA. “Silence is more eloquent than words. In the classroom and on the hall, Blanche keeps sweet and keeps moving. When she begins throw¬ ing balls on the basketball court one can readily see that if she reaches her goal in work as well as in play she will be a great lady of the nation some day. Hilda Cabaniss BROOKNEAL, VA. “ Modest ii is the brightest jewel in the crown of womanhood. And Hilda certainly possesses this. She is always ready in her work, but she is not one to be always “jabbering over nonsense.” Marion Clark STUART, VA. Ever lo )al, ever true To the toil and tasl( she has to do. Generous, warm-hearted, and jolly is Marion. She has made numerous friends in her two-years’ stay at B. C., but we often wonder which place she prefers to visit most, sec¬ ond floor “N. B.” or third floor “O. B.” ( 51 ) . I ■ Senior Class Juanita Coleman SCHUYLER, VA. “ will plunge the line, no mailer how strong the resistance.” Juanita has lingered by our sides for six years. She has many friends, and they all hope that she may scatter sunshine in her future home, instead of any gloom or sadness. Virginia Coleman GREENFIELD, VA. “Live while you live, should say, and catch all the pleasures of every day.” “Ginia” is well known by every¬ body on the campus. She is al- days aglow with enthusiasm—the kind that kindles a flame in others. Shine on, “Ginia,” and brighten your corner of the wide world as you have our lives here. Mavin Crowder WOODSDALE, N. C. “Mere hashfulness without merit is awkward. And merit without modesty is in¬ solent; But modest virtue has a double claim to acceptance.” ( 52 ) Senior Class Belle Dudley UNION HALL, VA. “Perseverance overcometh all things, It matters not what the future brings.” Belle has been with us for two ses¬ sions, and through them she has worked faithfully. She is one of our greatest lovers of “ Puddin’, and having had one taste, she al¬ ways calls for ‘‘Moore.’’ Celeste Feddeman SANFORD, VA. “Faithful ever, shrinking never.” That she is in all her duties, and no matter what comes, she takes it like a “man. May success fol¬ low her through life is the wish of her classmates. Virginia Forbes SHEPPARDS, VA. She moves down the valley of silence, but there is a woman behind the veil.” Virginia is one of our day pupils. Perhaps, we do not know her so well as we do those who are in our midst at all times, but we are sure that she will fill her mission in life nobly, and our hearty good wishes we extend to her. ( 53 ) Senior Class Naomi Forrest MESSICK, VA. “On their own merits, modest men are dumb. Naomi has been with us only two years, but she has shown us that modesty and reservedness go a long way toward making lasting friend¬ ships. Nina Fulford MOYOCK, N. C. “The woman of an independent mind. She lool(s and laughs at a’ that. We feel very fortunate in having Nina as a member of our class. Through her strong personality and her quiet and striking way of say¬ ing things, she has become one of the best known girls in school. Susie Epes BLACKSTONE, VA. Not too sober, not too gay, but a good, true girl in every way. Though Susie is only with us during the day, we know that she is steadily pushing toward the highest and best, and we are confident that she will find a solution to the prob¬ lem that means success. ( 54 ) Senior Class Irene Goode HENRY, VA. For if she will, she will, you may depend on ' i. And if she won ' t, she won ' t, so there ' s an end on’t.” Irene possesses a determined will of her own, and freely does she ex¬ ercise it. She used to be fond of Lemons,’’ but now we think it is the same old “N. O. B.” (New¬ ton’s the Only Boy). Rita Griffin BAILEY, N. C. “Generosity never wears out.” Rita is generous and warm-hearted to the last degree, and always ready to help someone. She is a good sport, always ready for fun. We picture her next year working hard among the mountaineers, teaching them “how to live completely.” Honor Hamilton LOCUST DALE, VA. “Honor is the basis of all character .’’ Honor certainly possesses “hon¬ or in this case. Unselfishness and a sympathetic disposition are her traits. We realize that “Honor is the one thing that is important, so when Honor leaves her Alma Mater, she is sure to live up to her name. ( 55 ) Senior Class Elizabeth Hardy DANVILLE, VA. “Full of mirth and laughter. Elizabeth is a “hapoy-go-lucky girl. She has a great sense of humor and ready wit. She mingles with the girls, making friends every¬ where. May the happiness she di¬ vides with others be doubly multi¬ plied to her. Kate Harrison ALBERTA, VA. “Always seen, but ever quiet. Although quiet, Kate works hard and usually succeeds in whatever she undertakes. Wilson Hodges SUTHERLIN, VA. “A light heart lives long. Wilson’s three years at Blackstone have been a joy to everyone who knew her. She always puts her heart and soul in her work. She has not failed to win hosts of friends, who will sincerely lament her absence next year. ( 56 ) Senior Class Irene Huckstep EBONY, VA. “In silence hath mp heart grown large. Irene is very quiet, and we feel that she has something great to give to the world. She has made many friends here, and we hope and be¬ lieve that she will make as many in the world. Ressie Huff SOUDAN, VA. “Great thoughts, great feelings, come to her lil(e instincts, unaware.” Ressie is extremely enthusiastic and has done her work well while she has been at Blackstone College. She is never at loss to find some¬ thing to say, and we are sure she will make her own way in the “big world.” Sarah Irby BLACKSTONE, VA. “Steel true, and blade straight. Never failing to respond to a call for help, with an understanding sympathy is Sarah, but she is ever ready to unbend from the plane of seriousness for a good time. ( 57 ) Senior Class Thelma Kirkman BASSETT, VA. “I am sure worry and care were never meant for me. 1 care not what happens, just so it does not interfere with my life career. I am sure my fate has been laid out for me, and all I have to do is to get all out of today that is meant for me, and the future will lake care of itself. Rose Lane PRINCESS ANNE, VA. Real greatness never had to l eep yelling to mal(e sure the world would never lose sight of it.” When we think of one who is kind and true, our minds turn to Rose. She has proven a true pal to her friends, and we expect to hear of her wedding before many months after she has left us. Frances Logwood BEDFORD, VA. A quiet girl is Frances, no doubt. But her presence here can never he forgot. Here ' s a friend that is true; that is faithful also — If she has a single fault we l(now it not, For she is a star in every class; She lifyes so very much to read. And in History, Pedagogy, and Science She easily tal es the lead.” ( 58 ) Senior Class Sylvia Lowance NEWPORT, VA. “Her only fault is that she has no fault.” We do not know Sylvia as well as we would like to, but when she is called upon to help her class in any way, she ever does it willingly. She is not as quiet as she seems, nor as bashful as she looks. Lillian McLaughlin VICTORIA, VA. “Did me discourse, I rvill enchant thine ear.” Lillian is a friend to every one, and willing to do her part. Her sterling character and faithfulness to duty make us prophesy for her a bright future. Clyde Ramsey HENRY, VA. To be loved is noble. To be trusted is nobler Clyde is a cornerstone upon which a great future is founded. She has decided “Early” in life to give her service for the good of others, which she shows in her work here. She may be seen almost any time hurrying down the hall with books or papers in her hands. We can¬ not say for how long her life will be spent for “others” instead of another.’ ( 59 ) Senior Class Bessie Rash CREWE, VA. “Let your conscience be your guide. ' This beautiful maxim Bessie has taught us through her own life, as we hope she may teach it to many others. Her actions are noble, and her thoughts pure and clean. Alma Reynolds BEDFORD, VA. “Decide wisely, resolve firmly, and execute persistently. Alma ' s high aim in life has helped her to lay a solid foundation for her future work here. There is not a doubt in any one’s mind but that she will show the people among the hills her training at B. C. G. Clare Robertson SPOUT SPRING, VA. “The wise shall shine as the splen¬ dor of the firmament.” Clare ' s college career and ambitions are noble and true. Her example is one that we shall follow all our days, with the idea of being that which is best. She has proved her efficiency in all of her classes, and we picture her in the near future administering the “Stoakley-Rob- ertson” method to a new genera¬ tion. ( 60 ) mam Senior Class Carrie Rowland WENDELL, N. C. True wit is nature, to advantage dressed, What oft was tho’t, hut ne’er so well expressed.” Generous and kind-hearted, Carrie is always ready to lend a helping hand. Her jolly good nature has won for her an enviable place among the girls. Pansy Smith HARRELLSVILLE, N. C. Woe be unto thee, for thou art much in love.” Pansy has won dear friends among the girls, and also among the young men from the Academy. She is very attractive and seems to possess some charm to which the rest of us could never quite find the secret. Ruth Smith MERRY HILL, N. C. “Where singleness is bliss, ' lis folly to be wives.” We are afraid Ruth does not be¬ lieve this, but she certainly has the power to make friends, and she goes about her duties with faithful¬ ness. ( 61 ) Senior Class Vide Lea Stephens SEMORA, N. C. “Centle, loyal and true. This is Vida Lea and loved by all who know her. She always reaches the goal for which she starts, and we know she will continue to do so after she leaves us. May she come out of everything victorious, and wear her good-natured smile, which characterizes her work among us. Mary Speed Stewart HENDERSON, N. C. “Be sure that you are right, then go ahead.” Mary Speed is one of our faithful Seniors. She has worked hard and attained that for which she came. Her example as one who is true to her fellow-students is an admirable one. Every member of the class wishes for her a glorious success in life! Gladys Temple WHITE PLAINS, VA. Beware of men who thinly too deeply. Gladys, our quiet Senior, has been with us three years. She is so quiet that we hardly know her likes and dislikes, but we know that she is a conscientious student. ( 62 ) Senior Class Hanna Thomas BRIGHTWOOD, VA. Thinking n ill drive me mad. Why must I thinl(? ' ' Happy-go-lucky, enjoy today, to¬ morrow will take care of itself, is Hanna’s slogan. However, while enjoying her todays, she is culti¬ vating her talent, and we are sure in later years that we shall hear people refer to “Miss Thomas, the well-known artist.” Nellie Trent BROOKNEAL, VA. A true friend, moral in her life, strong and zealous in purpose .” Nellie came to Blackstone College three years ago. She is a girl of ideals and performs all her tasks with great hope for success which we are sure she will attain. Edna Vaughan MONROE, VA. “Variety is the spice of life.” Edna fiist entered B. C. in the fall of 1917. After seeing her once we could never forget her. Oh, Miss Independence, with your head thrown high in the air—we feel sorry for the man whose heart you will break bye and bye! Senior Class Calphurnia Walker GAITHERSBURG, MD. “A sculptor wields The chisel, and the stricken marble grows To beaut}). ' ' One needs a supply of adjectives when describing Calphurnia. Such descriptive words as these—kind, amiable, unselfish and studious are appropriate. Schoolmates will find it hard to forget her, and classmates would not, if they could. Mamie Waterfield MUNDEN, VA. He most lives who climbs most, feels noblest, acts best. ' ' What a faithful little student is Mamie! During the whole four years of her stay at B. C. no one has ever seen her shirk the smallest duty, but she always performs them bravely, as though they were great ones. Louise Wilson HATTIESBURG, MISS. “Cheerfulness is an excellent quality.” Louise has this, and is always happy, industrious, and kind. With these lovable qualities, she can never fail to make good anywhere. ( 64 ) Senior Class Clarissa Winslow SUFFOLK, VA. “Genial , warm-hearted, and loyal.” Here is Clarissa, exactly, to the last degree, and a good student, ever ready for fun, yet never be¬ hind in her work. She is an all¬ round girl. Myrtle Wynn DANVILLE, VA. Love is a principle which de¬ mands a mighty interest. Myrtle fully believes that “good looks go a long way toward suc¬ cess, ' and she never gets up too late to come down nea tly dressed. From the numerous letters which she receives, we are inclined to believe it is “getting serious.” ( 65 ) (67) Junior Class Ivlotto : “Now” Colors: Gold and While Flower: Daisy Officers Sallie Kie.

C. G. Progress I he other day Father 1 ime in his swift flight could have been heard to say, “Some colleges have not learned to make as much use of the nine months I give them as old Blackstone College. I declare my forelock is almost sore, for the people there are always hanging on to it. It has been that way ever since last September when the college opened. “1 he first thing they did—why, the girls had scarcely had time to learn how to dress between breakfast bells—was to start a magazine, the first the school had ever had. I hey named it the ‘Blackstonian.’ I said to myself, ‘Miss Blackstonian, you will have to hurry if you keep up with Old Father Time.’ Fie stops for no one. But bless my soul! Miss Blackstonian is a good racer and is up with me every time I glance around. My! I hear compliments about her wherever I go. “And dear me, the Glee Club at Blackstone is an ‘on-time’ organization. They keep right up with me and make my old heart glad with singing. “Right along with the Glee Club I am reminded of the literary society the college has through its English Club. For a quarter of a century I have wondered why the college did not have one, but not until this year did anyone there catch me and organize one. A literary society is a fine thing for a school. It helps to tram people mentally. I enjoy such societies at other colleges and I rejoice to see one at Blackstone. “The people at Blackstone College do not neglect their physical training while in pursuit to literary knowledge. They reorganized their Athletic Association at the first of the session. Practically every student is a member. ( 75 ) “One thing I am truly glad of is that I will no longer see that dark blue line of girls trudge to church and to town in dust and mud. The school, with the help of kind friends, has laid a concrete walk from the college to the church and town. “There is another thing which comes into my mind when I think of B. C. G., that is, that they have adopted student government throughout both departments of the school. Of course, the College Department has had it before, but it is a decided step in the progress of the school for the Academic Department to have government by the students. It means much for the students themselves, for it trams them in a government of a democratic kind. This training will be of use in after life. “Well, I declare, the more I think about B. C. G., the more I find to say about the people there who have used their time profitably this year. I just must say a word about the Alumnae Association which has been organized this year. The good such an organization can do for the college is great, and then the in o o m e n t reunions which the old graduates will have will be wonderful. Why, when I see such a reunion, it almost seems as if I, Old Father Time, had turned backward in my flight and was seeing the days of youth. “One more thing I must say about those ‘on time’ people of Blackstone College— they have revived the College Annual which has been as if dead, since the session of 1917-1918. May “The Acorn” never suffer a second death.” With these words. Father Time hurried cn his way to carry to all schools the happy vacation days.

Loud will our anthems raise Blackstone so true. There is none else like thee Whether on land or sea, Faithful we’ll always be, Blackstone so true. Long years we’ve spent with thee Till now the end we see. And sad that day will be When we shall part. As we leave your old hall And answer life’s own call We ll be true all in all Each one apart. Now it is time to part And it most breaks each heart, We ll dodge each fiery dart, Blackstone so dear. Now we must go our way, Each one ‘‘farewell ’ must say. True to our dying day, Blackstone so dear. Everette Marks.

Student Government officers will have nothing to take up. Miss Stoakley and Miss Johnson will disagree. Amorette Rash will fail to do her “Christian duty.” No one will eavesdrop on faculty meeting. There will be no announcements in the dining-room or at chapel. Miss Mary Lee Bennett will take dancing lessons. There will be a “dance hall” at B. C. Sudie will not be seen with Maudine. Juanita Coleman will be a privileged Senior. There will be no footsteps heard in the library. There will be no odor of H.,S on the halls. The End of the Quarter Miss Stoakley is my Dean; I shall ever fear. She maketh me to stay on campus for one month— She leadeth me by her instructions. She reproveth my ways. She leadeth me in the paths of obedience for my own good. Yea, tho I fail every quarter, I get no consolation, for thou art with me. Thy looks have no comfort for me. I hou preparest a table before me in thy office in the presence of no one but thyself. Thou anointest me with rebuke. My eyes with tears runneth over. Surely E’s and F’s shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall be called up at the end of each quarter forever. ( 145 ) I. c. £ I N Of a sad words o a.
