Nineteen hundred and three is the first Senior class that has had the courage to edit a book, but We trust that other classes in the future will follow our good example. Proud of our school, of our class, and knowing this book would influence in a great measure the success of the annuals of future Senior classes, we have endeavored to the best of our ability to make it a success, and although We have met many obstacles, We have never been discouraged. We were willing to take heavy iinancial risks, for We believed that the students and friends of the Academy would aid us in obtaining a large circulation for THE CHIMES. Our aim has been to compose a book which would not only be read with pleasure by the students now, but would bring back happy memories in years to come.

GELCQADEQMCYY V Zw7f NINETEEN THREE 31 Alice Freeman Palmer URING our Senior year at Bradford, the school met with a great loss in the death of one of its most devoted trustees, Mrs. Alice Freeman Palmer. Her death was mourned all over the country and by many institutions, but nowhere was her loss felt more deeply than at Bradford Academy. This woman, who was so much sought after by all, and whose in- fluence and help were esteemed so highly, was with us scarcely more than a year. In this short time, however, she did much for the school and won the love of every girl. Soon after Mrs. Palmer became a trustee, she came to the Academy and talked to us. Never were the girls impressed so deeply with the feeling that here was one who understood them and loved them. She seemed to live for girls, and her deep interest and sympathy for them was shown in every word that she spoke that day. Soon after that she visited us again, and we came to feel that she was not only interested in all girls in general, but that she was also beginning to care for us in particular. This feeling drew us much more closely to her, and every girl considered her a personal friend. A helpful friend she proved indeed, for although the privilege was not given to any of us to know Mrs. Palmer intimately, yet hers was such a noble character that she left with each of us, after one of her talks, some of her own enthusiasm and many of the uplifting thoughts that made her the woman that she was. Mrs. Palmer's life was devoted chieliy to the working out of problems con- cerning the higher education for women, and no one person has done so much in this work as she. However, she seems to have been interested in every good cause, and never refused to give generously of her time and strength wherever she thought she could do good. Her most important educational work was as president of Wellesley College. Q We, of Bradford Academy, were among the last to lay claim to her affec- tions, and, as usual, the claim did not go unanswered. She gladly came to us and gave us her help. The members of the class of 1903 will always be thank- ful that we were-given the great privilege of being under her influence even for so short a time, and we know that we shall always be better for it.

There are but two ways in which these problems can be solved. 1 Of course, there is the old method, still in vogue in many schools, of absolute government by the faculty. In this case every rule which the faculty sees fit to establish is also enforced by that body. This form of government may have its advantages. Certain we are it has its disadvantages, and we believe these vastly outnumber the advantages. There is nothing more conducive to the highest welfare of a school than perfect harmony and sympathy between faculty and students. Believing this general principle to be true, the faculty and students of Bradford decided last year to adopt the plan of 'fself government, which is being successfully carried on in so many schools and colleges. Self government in an academy like ours has its own peculiar problems, and in some respects they are more serious ones than the college faces. First in importance, the ages of our girls vary more than the ages of the college girls. Girls of fourteen are, as a rule, more apt to abuse privileges than girls of twenty. Therefore, more restrictions must be placed upon them. The fact that we all 36 THE CI-IIMES live together in one building is a problem in itself. One hundred and thirty girls living in such close Contact are apt to overlook their neighbors' rights unless careful and tactful watchtulness is exerted. It is the duty of the self- government committee to exert this watchfulness and thus protect the girls from one another. Our society is so young that it cannot justly be expected that we have been able to attend to many details which we hope some day can be managed by the Association. We believe, however, that we have done something toward creating a wholesome atmosphere and a loyal school spirit. We think it would be difficult to find a school where there is heartier cooperation and kindlier friendliness than exists between our faculty and students. We consider it our greatest privilege to maintain the honor of the school. Our committee meets once a week, talks over the week's happenings, mentions anything which has been going wrong, discusses any grievance the girls may have had presented to them, suggests remedies, and makes recom- mendations to the faculty, etc. A mass meeting of the Association Qof which every girl in school is a memberj is sometimes held. In this meeting any girl may express her mind on the subject brought forward. We hope the day is not far distant when every rule in Bradford Academy shall be made and enforced by the student body. Though we have not been able to accomplish this for the school, yet we are not discouraged when we remember that the society is still very young. Indeed, believing that the hardest and most discouraging period has been passed, we feel that we can hope for great things from the Association in the future.

Sefreiazj' N a school with the missionary traditions of Bradford, it would be strange and unfortunate if there were no active religious life to be found today, Such is not the case. If the expression of that life has changed, still the life itself is here. It was to perpetuate the missionary traditions of Bradford, to create a healthful religious atmosphere in the school, and to enable us, by banding together, better to help those less fortunate than ourselves, that the Christian Union was reorganized in the Fall of 1902. As far as possible we have sought to aid those causes to which a large amount of personal work might be given. This personal work has been found most fascinating by the members of the Union. Instead of ordering provisions sent from stores, the girls preferred to carry the baskets to the homes of poor families on Thanksgiving day. From time to time the girls have visited the Old Ladies' Home, and have sung, read, or played on their mandolins, and in many ways have cheered the lives of these women. Several times they have taken them on long delight- ful drives in the country. And the children of the Orphans' Home! Who of us can forget their happy faces as they seated themselves on the floor in our gymnasium, gazing at the Christmas tree and waiting for Santa Claus? The Boys' Club in Haverhill has also had our assistance. Though this personal home-work is, perhaps, most important and most interesting, the Christian Union has not stopped here. For two years we have paid the expenses of a student at Tuskegee. We cooperated this year with the ladies of the Bradford Church in helping raise a Fisk University scholarship. 38 THE CHIMES Last year our society became a sub-chapter of the Denison College Settlement House in Boston. Our sub-chapter was represented so well at the reception this Spring, and many of the girls manifested such interest in the work, that we have organized at committee to keep in closer touch with Denison House. All that has been accomplished is clue entirely to the ready responsiveness of the members of the Christian Union. Without their generosity, nothing could have been done. No case has been presented to them to which they have not been willing and eager to give their aid. Q iw f X x -.10 i 13,-'22 X A i E ag., M g -. gl.-':.rvJ x 'T i-Vll Qui 'I I ,.

P7'6XZ'lfE77f ANNE Macom BER Vfre Prf5z'rz'fm' GERTRUDE CHILDS . . . Trmma-er T is to Professor Samuel W. Downs that the prosperous Leonora Society of today owes its birth. For sixteen years this has been the leading musical society at the Academy, and not less successfully will the work of 1902-3 be counted by future members. In 1887 Professor Downs founded the society, which he decided to name the Leonora, the only one in America, by the way, bearing this name. The char- acter Leonora is the heroine of Beethoven's great opera, Fidelio. The opera is well known as a masterpiece, and Professor Downs thought that by using the name of so great a character as Leonora, the girls would thus be incited to high aims. I-lis plan was to make this society the nucleus of the best voices in school, and to have the girls learn music which would be appropriate upon all occasions. The first president was Miss Alice Huntington. Always Professor Downs worked with untiring zeal, and on account of his great enthusiasm he inspired the girls to put forth their best efforts. He gave as careful attention to the entire body of girls as he did to his individual pupils. In September of 1902, on account of the great increase in numbers in the department of music, Professor Downs was obliged to give up the vocal work. His successor in this department was Madame Isadora Martinez, who thus took 40 THE CHIMES charge of the Leonora. Here again we have been most fortunate in having a conductor who is thoroughly capable and interested in the girls. Certainly 1902-3 has been a successful year for us. This year the society is composed of thirty girls, showing quite an increase in numbers. Among pieces which we have learned during the year are, for religious music, The Lord's Prayer, f'In Heavenly Love Abiding, Come Unto Me, and the f'Largo'75 for lighter music, Annie Laurieji A Spring Song, and one of Schubert's waltz songs. Rehearsals are held every Friday morning after chapel. Every june during the sixteen years that the society has been in' existence, a concert has been given on the Tuesday evening of Commencement week, the girls singing a cantata and part songs. We have sung also during this year at Madame Martinez's recitals, and upon TAlumnae Day. May there be many more years in store for the Leonora Society as happy and successful as this past one has been. Wil? NINETEEN THREE 41 Glee Club MARTHA GARDNER . . . .

The club is intended for Seniors and juniors only, but a few Sophomores and Freshmen are admitted on account of high scholar- ship. The aim of the club is to promote a taste for literature, and also to enable the girls to accustom themselves to public speaking. Each member is urged to join a certain department, in this way assuming her share of responsi- bility. The departments are: Music, Science, Art, Travel, and Book Review. During the Hrst of this year we devoted the greater part of our time to the study of Tennyson. There were papers on his life and, some of his works were read and discussed. The remainder of the year will be spent upon Browning, with occasional miscellaneous evenings upon other subjects. The club has also acted as a lecture bureau, for through its efforts and under its management we are enabled to have prominent lecturers here. This year Mr. Ernest Thompson-Seton has lectured upon Wild Animals I Have Known, Mr. Henry A. Clapp upon Hamlet, and Rev. A. T. Kempton upon Evangeline The club has other lecturers in view for the remainder of the year. The club meetings are held on alternate Saturday evenings, the programme consisting of papers and readings by the girls, assisted by members of the faculty, and interspersed with music. These meetings are well attended and show that the club is accomplishing its purpose. Frequently the whole school is invited, and at these times a programme of special interest is provided. The lectures are attended by the people of Bradford and Haverhill, as well as by the school. The entire aim of the club is to make its evenings attractive and helpful and furnish means toward a higher and broader culture. NINETEEN THREE 2' Ramabai Circle HE Ramabai Circle was organized, with Miss Pond's help, on the twenty-eighth of january, nineteen hundred and three. This year ' the circle will send a donation to India, to help the society with their work for the child widows. XVILMA IRENE BALL . ALICE MARION HUSSEY ELIZABETH GROESBECK PA1 1'Y S'1'13AnMAN .

Q ' A 54 THE CHIMES Athletic Banquet f HE twenty-ninth of April, 1902, marks an occasion that will long be remembered by the members of the Athletic Association. lt was on that night, at the close of a successful athletic season, that the Athletic Association thought to show its appreciation of the victorious basket ball team. Their appreciation took the form of a banquet given to the team, substitutes, and officers of the association. The President of the Athletic Association, who was chosen as toastmistress for the occasion, called on Miss Knott for an after-dinner speech, to which she responded with very encouraging words. After the hearty applause which Miss Knott's words evoked, different members of the team were called on. They responded with very humorous speeches. No member of the faculty was allowed to escape on this occasion, each expressed her pleasure at the team's success, and hoped that the victory which we were celebrating would not be the last. After the toasts school songs were sung, and everybody went away happy. NINETEEN THREE 55 , Senior Dramatics HHN our class tirst began to think of Senior dramatics, we felt that perhaps to give The Rivals would be too much of an undertaking for a class numbering only twenty-three, but after many class meetings The Rivalsl' was decided on, and the play was presented in the school hall on the evening of February 7th. Owing to the appreciative audience, the hall being filled almost to overliowing, as well as to the hard work of the girls, our play, we believe, was a great success. The audience, consisting of the pupils of the Academy, friends of the school in Bradford and Haverhill, and many out-of-town guests, seemed to be in a mood for an amateur per- formance. Feeling the fun of the play, they applauded when we least expected it, and entered into the spirit of it throughout the evening. Between the acts an orchestra which was stationed at one side of the stage played lively music. The Seniors hnished the evening with an informal dance in the gymnasium. There were more than four hundred tickets sold for the performance, making a sum of 32l0.00, the net proceeds of which go toward the Senior class gift to the Academy. x w f -mf- 1 -,. - x CLASS' HISTORY gf NON A'i5:g,mN1'm5mjff EN Mm Ii i!

T seems almost beyond our realization that the day of the Senior Banquet -the day to which we have looked forward with anticipation and pride- has at last come, and now we enter upon it hesitatingly, almost unwil- lingly, for it brings with it the thought that soon we must leave the school that has become sfrfdear to us, with all its pleasant associations and the precious friendships formed there. But let us not sadden our hearts tonight by gazing into the future, for we know not what it has in store for us g rather let us look backward and recall the happy days we have spent in our beloved old B. A. 'L For we have done a thing or two, XVhich in our hearts we rue, we dog But then we meant no harm, you know, Dear Bradford was a trifle slow, And we have really made her go, This Class of l903. . On a cold dreary day in January, nineteen hundred, there came to Brad- ford the great and mighty founder of the class of Naughty-Three. She is the only one who survived the strain and stress of four long years, and if you should see her you might, by trying hard, be able to account for it. From a class of one we cannot expect much, so let us go on to our Sopho- more year, of which, although our class has increased in strength and wisdom, I fear I have no more to relate. Then, finally, came our junior year, and we found ourselves a larger and stronger class than we had ever dreamed of being. Now let us review our red-letter days. Can you recall that bright day in October when we organized our class and were all excitement over our Hrst class meeting, the outcome of which we have never had cause to regret? For our officers have proved most efficient, No work has been too arduous for them, no day too full when class honor was at stake. 64 THE CHIMES Then came the monstrous task of choosing our class flower and color. We were thirty girls, and surely no less than thirty different flowers were suggested, from the blue-eyed Innocence to the American Beauty. Finally we decided that only the best could be good enough for Naughty-Three, and so the American Beauty was our choice. Q The full moon of October brought with it our first opportunity to show what the class of Naughty-Three could do in the way of entertaining, and I am sure that Naughty-Two praised our Hrst attempt. For they, as well as we, en- joyed our ride to Bald Pate which was crowned by so pleasant an evening with a Hne chicken dinner. And then to think that the Seniors should sing a few weeks later, Here's to '03 who has given us one spree. Well-that was more than they had done for us. Swiftly our Christmas holidays passed, and again we were in B. A., slowly getting accustomed to work, but mostly dreaming of days that were no more. But Naughty-Three had to be up and doing, and Marie Cable again had some new plans, and this time it was to display our wonderful ability in the line of dramatics. Ability? No! talent. 'fAunt Sallie's Farm was just a little fore- runner to show what we could do, so that when our Senior dramatics came people would not be overwhelmed by our genius. ' In February we received a little note, an invitation from the Seniors, which surprised us beyond measure, not because we did not expect it, but because we had been expecting it so long that, according to our psychology, which we were at that time devouring, our expectancy had become a habit, and its fulfillment seemed almost too much. But we made a brave front, and on the fourteenth of February were amply repaid for our patient waiting by a glorious ride and dinner at Clay's, spiced with grinds to the sorrow of many. Then in our dreams we conceived a way of entertaining the Seniors. Many were the days and long the hours we spent on the favors for our cotillion, nevertheless, when it was all over we had the inward feeling of content which arises from a great success. NINETEEN THREE 65 In return for the long and dreary winter, spring at last unfolded itself in all its glory. Pleasanter and brighter it seemed to us than ever before. Will you ever forget those glorious evenings when in the lingering twilight we sat on the campus singing? And which of us will forget the night when the Seniors had a camp-tire out in the grove, to which we were invited. I-low much better the steak and the same old baked potatoes tasted out in our Indian camping ground, with its charms of songfmid mandolin. The last term of our junior year was fast ebbing away. Ah 1 the time flew faster than we wished, for Commencement was at hand, and we watched with sore hearts and sympathy the sad-eyed Seniors, knowing only too well that soon we, too, should be in their place. Waiting a little here and a little there to say farewell to our friends, we boarded the train and scattered for the summer. At last we have come to our Senior year, the best of all. It is a position of dignity, of calm assurance, from which We look upon all with sympathy, for we ourselves have passed through all the stages of trial and tribulation' Though sometimes almost on the brink of desperation, we have at last reached our goal. It seems as though only a few weeks had passed since we entered the portals of our last year, feeling as though the world were ours. lt seemed to us that we and we alone had to carry all the responsibilities of BEA. on our shoulders. We felt that we were guardians of all the rest and that we had to help bear all the burdens of the new students, and they were many. Though we tell it modestly, we say it Hrmly, that we have done everything for the Fac- ulty that we could. Although several of our class had not returned, the gap was partially hlled up by three new students-peaceful Ruth Warner, Cicero's shadow, Ruth O'Dwyer, and Polly Gardner, the bobbing leader of the Glee club that has lately pestered the school with odious noises, while trying to tell us something, but to our great distress we can't quite make out whether they are buying old rags or peddling vegetables, 66 THE CI-IIMES But something seemed to be missing. It was the familiar faces of '02. I-low often we have longed to see you! and we hope that future classes will miss ns as we have you, O noble class of Nineteen Two. But we had little time to reflect upon our bygone days. The Hrst few weeks meant work, for we were to search in the high realms of ethical law. Then too, there was our new course in art, and we at least tried to say some- thing, even if we did not get it right, when Dr. von Mach said, Young ladies, 77 would you be so kim! as to answer this question? But our First term was not all work. Many were the good times we had playing basket ball under our illustrious leader, Chellis Farnham. Meanwhile the members of the Senior class were showing their executive ability. Helen Brown brought the Centennial Club into full swing without neglecting her 'fold ladies and childrenf' Lillian Browne, with her Christian spirit, was arousing the new girls' interest in Christian Union. Everything went on calmly until our Christmas vacation. But it was soon passed, and we came back with the wish of making the most of the last weeks of our school life. So we gladly accepted our Hrst invitation from the juniors -a ride, to Bald Pate. For it 's always fair weather NVhcn two classes get together Dashing through the snowdrift, With a good song ringing clear. For we 're all glad tonight, And our hearts with joy are lightg So here 's to the juniors, The Class of 1904-. Then came our greatest event, the Senior Play. Great seems almost too insignificant in description of it, for B. A. has never had occasion to be so proud of her Senior Class Dramatics. Why, joe jefferson's production was almost eclipsed by our great success. After this the admiration of the Sophs was so great that they gave us an elaborate dinner and a jolly straw ride. NINETEEN THREE 67 Class of Naughty-Three, we have wandered through the last two years in closest harinonyg but let these remaining weeks knit our hearts still closer to- gether, so that when in future years we look back upon our school days we shall recall each face of Nineteen-Three with fondness, and a thought of love. H So let us sing a lively song, Ah me, wc know 'L is not for longg So sing before we go. l1Ve 'll fill with joy each passing day, Fd And laugh and sing with work and playg' Until in june we sadly say Good-lay, dear Nineteen-Three.

Q FQRQ QCADE MY NINETEEN THREE 79 One Hundred Years 1803-1903 S the class of 1903 has the honor of being the Centennial Class, it seems fitting that our class book should contain a short account of the history of the Academy. This institution was founded in 1803 by the people of Bradford, as a means of higher education for their children, as there were no public schools. The school started with fifty-one pupils,- seventeen boys and thirty-four girls,- but it continually increased in numbers until it had gained a wide reputation. Even in these early times, pupils came from all over New England, and often from places outside of New England. The building, afterwards called Willow Hall, was a small two-room building. In one of these rooms gathered the girls, in the other the boys. How interesting it would be to us, the girls of 1903, if we could go back a hundred years and step in and hear them recite their geog- raphy, grammar and arithmetic! But more interesting it would be to see the girls working upon their beautiful pieces of embroidery, for this was an essential part of their education. In those days the school was presided over by a preceptor and a precep- tress. None of the teachers seem to have left a permanent impression upon the school until the arrival of Benjamin Greenleaf in 1814, and Miss Ann Hasseltine in 1815. They both seem to have been persons of unusual strength of character, and both served the school long and faithfully, Miss Hasseltine having been connected with it for over nity years. lt is safe to say there has been no student of Bradford Academy since their time who has not heard of Mr. Greenleaf and Miss Hasseltine. In a series of chapel talks which our prin- cipal has been giving us this year on the history of Bradford Academy, these characters have interested us more than any others. From the beginning the girls had largely outnumbered the boys, and in 1836 Bradford Academy was changed from a co-educational school to an acad- etny for young women. Mr. Greenleaf was the last preceptor, but his work for 80 THE CHIMES Bradford did not end there. I-le became a member of the Board of Trustees, and served the school faithfully in this way up to the time of his death. From this time, for seventeen years, Miss Hasseltine ruled as principal. Her tall, slender Hgure, in quaint costume and calash, is impressed strongly upon our minds, and we wish that we might have known her. However, it is not too much to say that the influence of her strong personality is still felt here. The school continued to prosper to such an extent that another building was needed, which was built during Miss I-Iasseltine's principalship. This was called New Hallj' and is still in existence, standing just west of the present building. From this time there was a regular course of study, and from the New Hall the Hrst class graduated-seven in number-in the year 1842. Five members of the class lived to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the school, and two are living to enjoy the one hundredth-Mrs. Mary Merrill Oliver of Boston, and Mrs. Elizabeth Cate Barrows of Reading, Mass. At the close of the year 1848 Miss Hasseltine resigned. The three or four principals who followed her remained but a short time, but they were all women of ability, who did everything in their power.for the school. The name of Miss Abby johnson is one familiar to us all, for to her our school owes much. Under her leadership and guidance was built the beautiful structure which we now occupy, and every inch of which we have learned to love. This is by no means all that Miss johnson did that we are grateful for. During the Hnancial depression just after the Civil War, this school, like many others, probably would have had to close its doors, if it had been under guid- ance less able. Miss Annie E. johnson was the next principal, and all of us who attended the Alumnae meeting last October, when her portrait was presented to the school, know that there are many living today whose hearts yet hold the warmest and kindliest feelings for her. She was loved by all the girls under her. Strong, noble woman that she was, Bradford Academy could not help becoming a lovelier, purer place under her guidance. Even though these years found girls' colleges rising rapidly to rival the academies and seminaries, our own school maintained its high position, . NINETEEN THREE 81 At the death of Miss Annie johnson, Miss Ida C. Allen became the prin- cipal. Under her administration the school maintained its high standard and developed to an unusual degree along the lines of literature and art study. It was through Miss Allen that the Academy obtained many of the fine pictures that adorn its walls. In the Fall of 1901 the present Principal, Miss Laura A. Knott, began her administration. During the two years that she has been with us she has won the contidencerand friendship of each individual girl. These two years have witnessed continually increasing prosperity. The enrollment of seventy-five of last year has now been increased to one hundred and forty-five, and for the first time in many years, the building is filled to its utmost capacity. The class of 1903 has witnessed a transformation which seems little less than marvelous. What wonder is it that every girl in the classufeels that Bradford Academy has a great future before it? One of the first and most benehcial improvements that 1902 brought about was the introduction of a moderate form of self-government into the school. The object of this was to train the students in responsibility and self- reliance, and to bring about a larger degree of cooperation between students and teachers. Although advancement in self-government has been made slowly, we all feel that it has been a good thing for the school, and we hope the time will come when each student will feel that she is personally responsi- ble for the good government of the school. 1902 added the first resident instructor of physical cultureto our faculty, and now the development of the body has its place in the school, as well as the development of the mind. The Bradford girl of today, when all lessons are ended, may be seen, clad in her gymnasium suit, with tennis racquet, golf club, or basket ball in her handg for we love our sports as much as the college girl. The Christian Union has increased from a little band of five, at the open- ing of school in the Fall of 1902, to a flourishing society of over fifty members. We are doing all in our power to help those less fortunate in life than our- selves. A detailed account of the work of the organization will be found on another page. 82 THE CI-IIIVIES The Centennial Club has been organized this year, and it is sure of pros- perity in the future, for the girls are most enthusiastic about it. Tennyson was the first poet to be studied, and now the work of the society has changed to the study of Browning. Besides this study, many prominent men have been brought here to lecture, under the auspices of the society. It is the hope of the class oi 1903 that at the close of the next century the class of 2003 may come to the end of their school days with hearts as full of love and gratitude to our Alma Mater as are ours. We have spent here some of the happiest days of our lives, here have been formed dear and precious friendships, which will go with us through life, here we have learned lessons not found in books-lessons of courage and strength and devotion to duty. We do not-mean to forget these things, and as long as we live we mean to be true and loyal to old B. A.

She is a girl of divided interests, alive to all Q enjoyments. She golfs, plays at tennis, rows, and rides, but let us look at her life aside from her out-of-door sports. Not until late in the month of September, 1902, did the actual social events start in, for the beginning of a school year is far from easy. For a week or two all thoughts ot social functions are driven from the mind by more important duties. The girls are getting acquainted, going to Haverhill on all kinds of shopping tours, settling their rooms, arranging schedules, and, best of all, meeting old friends. - September Not very late in the month, however, the old girls, true to their former record of entertaining well, gave a party in the form of a reception and dance to the new girls. Miss Knott, Miss Andrews and Miss Hart received in the parlor, and with them was one member of each class. Tempting refreshments were served in the German room, and then all enjoyed a good dance in the Gym.'7 One of the pleasantest excursions of the month was a trip to Hamp- ton Beach. October In October the basket ball teams and the Leonora Society were reorgan- ized. One morning we were glad to see in the chapel Dr. Little, the President of the Board of Trustees, who gave us a short but very helpful talk. About 86 THE CHIMES sixty girls, with five members of the faculty, visited the White Mountains, spending Sunday at the Mt. Pleasant House. On Hallowe'en all the girls went to dinner dressed in sheets and pillow-cases. The dining room was lighted by jack-o'-lanterns and candles stuck in vegetables. After dinner, games and dancing took place in the gymnasium. A basket-ball game was played with Abbott Academy, at Andover. The Centennial Club was organized, and the study of Tennyson begun. Most appropriately in connection with the coal strike, Rev. Calvin M. Clark of Haverhill gave us an interesting talk upon the strike, and told us of the life and hardships of the miners. November During this month Miss Warren visited the school and spoke to us at morning chapel. Dr. von Mach gave a series of talks in chapel upon 'fThe Appreciation of Beauty Around Us. Mrs. Florence Howe Hall gave a lec- ture upon Manners at Home and at School. The new girls entertained the old girls. It was called the Cafe Chantant, and the gymnasium repre- sented a French coffee-house. The decorations were of yellow and white bunting, the school colors. Small tables were placed for the old girls, and these were decorated in yellow and white crepe paper. The entertainment was a miscellany, ending with a minstrel show. After the performance coffee and rolls were served at the tables by waitresses, and then all enjoyed dancing. One afternoon Bishop Lawrence of Boston gave a practical and beautiful talk upon education, and gained a very warm place in the hearts of the girls. The Centennial Club had an evening on Tennyson's ffldylls of the King. December In this month we were very fortunate in being able to hear Mr. Booker T. Washington, who spoke to a large audience upon the Life and Work at Tuskegee. The oratorio, The Messiah, was attended in Haverhill. The Centennial Club continued the study of Tennyson's Idylls of the King. Miss Knott gave a fine talk upon Venice, illustrated by the stereopticon. From this talk the girls learned a great deal, and we all felt as if we, too, had .been NINETEEN THREE 87 there, on account of the vividness with which Miss Knott portrayed the beauti- ful city. The night before the girls went home for the Christmas vacation was one of the happiest of the year at Bradford. Thirty children from the Orphan's Home in Haverhill were brought here and given a Christmas tree and party. January january was marked by many interesting events. In the hrst place, we had a talk upon India by Mrs. Burnell, a returned missionary. An illustrated lecture was given by Ernest Thompson-Seton upon Wild Animals I l-Iave Known. This was very interesting, and the calls of the different animals were particularly entertaining. On the seventeenth the juniors entertained the Seniors at Bald Pate Inn. The sleighing and moon could not have been improved upon, and we enjoyed one of the famous Bald Pate dinners, dancing until time to leave. On the evening of the twenty-first a large number of us attended a concert by the Fiske jubilee Singers in the Bradford church. Miss Keyes gave an interesting talk upon Michael Angelo, illustrated by many stereopticon views. About sixty of the girls and some of the Faculty went to Boston to see Richard Mansheld in Julius Czesar. On the twenty-second many of the girls called upon Mrs. Daniel Kimball of Bradford. She is the oldest living graduate of the Academy, and every year the girls attend her birthday celebrations in large numbers. This is an event to which the girls always look forward, and they are very glad to pay her homage on these pleasant occasions. The Centennial Club presented another attractive Tennyson programme. This evening, besides papers and anecdotes concerning the great poet, A Dream of Fair Women was read, and illustrated by tableaux. February On the fourth began the une series of concerts which are always among the most enjoyable events of the year. This series comprises three recitals, under the charge of Professor Downs, and they are given every year, usually during the winter term. The first concert was by the famous Kneisel quartette of Boston. It was pronounced by many the hnest concert ever given in Acad- 88 THE CHIMES emy Hall. The girls attended, in Haverhill, Gounod's Gallia and Rossini's Stabat Mater. The night before the Senior play, the Seniors were allowed to go to Haverhill to Tanner's for dinner, and for an evening of genuine good time, few can surpass this. We had an inexpressibly pleasant feeling, to think that we were over there on a school night having a good time, while all the other girls were at home studying. Such it is to be a Senior ! The next night, the seventh, came our Senior play, when The Rivals was presented. All day an air of expectancy hung over the school. Friends began to arrive, and up and down the corridors could be noticed Seniors, some murmuring their parts, and others giving orders. Certainly it was a happy, though busy, day. A description of the play is given elsewhere in detail. After the play there was dancing by the Seniors and their guests in the Gym. During the month Madame Martinez gave two informal recitals, exhibiting the work of her ad- vanced pupils, and the girls did great credit to their teacher. Valentine's day was celebrated in a most appropriate manner. The juniors were the hostesses, and the entertainment was a masquerade dance. During the evening valen- tines which had previously been deposited in a basket were distributed. The second of Professor Down's recitals was on the eighteenth. Madame Helen Hopekirk played, and her playing was a delight to all. Fraulein Kammer gave a very interesting talk upon Germany, illustrated by the stereopticon, and as it consisted largely of her own personal experiences, the girls were all the more interested. The twenty-second was celebrated by only a few girls, for almost everyone went away for over Sunday. Those who were left behind, however, did not lack for fun. The next lecture was by Rev. A. T. Kempton, being a stereopticon ffpicture story of Evangeline March March third the Senior class was most fortunate. We spent a happy even- ing in Miss Knott's room, where we were entertained by Mr. Williamson and Mrs. H. A. Chase. Mr. Williamson read Bu1'ns's poems to us, and Mrs. Chase sang a number of Burns's songs. We shall always look back upon this evening as one of the bright spots in our memory of school days. On the sixth, Pro- NINETEEN THREE 89 fessor Tyler of Amherst College gave a very able lecture upon The Rise of the Theory of Evolution. As the Seniors had been studying about the subject, it was particularly interesting to them. The fourteenth the Sophomores took the Seniors to Tanner's for dinner, and then on a straw-ride. The Centennial Club during this month began the study of Browning. The latter part of the even- ing Fratilein Kammer explained the operas Lohengrin and Tannhauser,'l Miss Peabody illustrating at the piano. Next in order we attended an address in the Bradford church by Rev. Philip Moxom upon the subject, Is Religion Interestingg Mr. H. A. Clapp of Boston gave one of the most interesting lectures of the year upon Hamlet. On the twenty-eighth we had our Senior banquet, a day long looked forward to. Now that it is over, how near Com- mencement seems, and we realize only too fully that soon our school days will be a thing of the past and we shall no longer be at Bradford! The juniors decorated the gymnasium and table in a most attractive manner and sang to us. A delicious dinner was served, and at the table the decorations were American Beauty roses, our class flower, candles, and very cute dinner-cards containing grinds from the juniors. The class history and prophecy were read. Would that we might have this evening over again, for it was at that time that we realized as never before how happy we had been together, and how dear to us had become the friends from whom we must soon part. We are looking forward to a lecture in April upon Pompeii by Dr. von Mach, and to a recital by Mrs. H. H. A. Beach and Madame Martinez. Other interesting events will follow, but as our book goes to press the last of March, they cannot be mentioned here. In speaking of these events, which concerned, usually, large numbers of girls, perhaps some of the smaller, but by no means less enjoyable affairs, should be mentioned. For example, the 'tboxes from home must not be for- gotten, nor the spreads. These spreads are usually on Saturday evenings, and such good times as the word spread brings to our minds l A particularly pleasing feature of our school life is the way in which a birth- day is celebrated. The girl who has the birthday is given the seat of honor at dinner, and the table is decorated attractively with flowers and candles. There 90 THE CI-IIIVIES are many dainties here, which not all the tables are enjoying. Not only do the girls come in for these celebrations upon their birthdays, but the teachers, too, have their share. Often after dinner the girls dance in the Gym, and these few minutes of informal dancing before study hour are very popular. On Saturdays and Mondays large parties of girls go off on drag-rides, or go driving in smaller groups. There are many beautiful drives in and about Bradford and Haverhill, one of especial interest being the drive to Whittier's birthplace. Often the girls go to Boston for lectures, concerts, and theatrical perform- ances, or on some trip of historical interest. Under the charge of Dr. von Mach or Miss Keyes the Seniors have made visits to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, the Gardner Museum, and the Germanic Museum in Cambridge. As we look back upon the events of our Senior year, we realize how many good times have been arranged for us, and we realize that to the careful plan- ning of Miss Knott and the rest of the Faculty we owe most of these happy occasions. Though good times are not the main features of school life, they are a necessary part of it, and for them We feel more gratitude than we are able to express. STORIES V 3 ENITAIFTH Vg N 0 N :E I A 'fiQi:FENHTA In E- Q. Q 4:2 QED FCQDZQD QQLCADEMY NINETEEN THREE 93 The Decision of Fate. BY HELEN GOULIJ BROXVN. I-IE grand drawing-rooms of Mrs. Rush Errington were a blaze of light. This was the third Tuesday of the month, and she was 'fat home'l to her many friends. The rooms were beautifully decorated, with palms and Easter mics forming a screen behind which a German orchestra softly lingered over a dreamy waltz. Gorgeously dressed ladies stepped from their carriages and were announced by servants in livery. Gentlemen in evening dress gaily laughed and talked with each new arrival. As the last strains of the waltz ended, a gentleman's hearty laugh caused several to turn in his direction. Seated in an alcove with her head thrown back upon the upholstered chair, sat a young girl, and by her side a middle- aged gentleman. Evidently she had amused him by some unexpected remark, for he was still laughing, but her face was perfectly sober. f' No, she was saying, I am in earnest, Mr. Trask. I believe we are put in this world to accomplish something, not to drift, and yet it is so easy to float along. just think! I am twenty-four, and I have never done anything worthy of mention. Oh, do stop laughing! I can't be serious a moment with you. No, my dear, you can't, for I have been through this all before, the aspirations of youth when all seems possible, the doubts and shadows which follow, then pessimism, and at last sanity, when you stop trying to solve these great questions and accept things as they come-a blissfulindifference, you know. Pass from one stage to another, little girl, as quickly as possible, and finally arrive at the last. You 'll be happier there. Oh perhaps, but I hate to believe it-and there-I won't let myself think it is sol No, not another word! I will not admit that you are right. Why Miss Grace, what's this? exclaimed a voice from behind them. I have not intentionally been eavesdropping, but as I approached I could not help hearing the last few words. 94 THE CHIIVIES Miss Armstrong has been trying to convert me, laughed Trask, and to make me believe that we all should have an aim in life, a goal to reach, you know. Funny conversation for a place of this kind, isn't it? Ah, there 's Mrs. Trask. You will excuse me? And thank you for our little chat. I-Ie bowed and leisurely joined a group of ladies in the rear of the room. t Raynor stepped forward and took the vacant place. What 1 at it again? he asked. Being serious again? Well, I thought better of you than this. What's up now?,' - Her face was flushed from excitement, but her eyes were earnest and thoughtful. He realized that she was in no trifling mood. I beg your pardon, Grace, I was careless. Will you excuse me? he asked. Yes, certainly, she responded, leaning forward and speaking in a low tone, and to show you that I trust you and believe in your powers of serious consideration I am going to tell you something. Listen l Far away in a distant country, among people of a foreign tongue, most of them strangers to us and to our country, where few white persons care to live, there I am going. Stop I I have not Hnished. There has come to me the realization of my worthless- ness, of flzeir great need. They, those to whom I am going, are suffering, even dying without hope of a future life. They are lepersf' Lepers E he exclaimed, ' Yes, lepers, she went on, you know the rest-the awful anguish, the poverty and the filth, and worst of all, they are friendless, isolated, outcasts. They have no hope of recovery here, and they go when death comes out into hopeless, eternal darkness. I have had this brought to my attention. I also have been told of the work I might do if I only would. Nothing that money could do would be wanting and, perhaps, if I really tried, help and strength would be given me to succeed in making these people less miserable. Wait! One word more. This is a secret between you and me, and because I knew you would keep it as such I have told you.'? Good heavens, Grace! What are you thinking of? he cried. You in such a place l Impossible I It shall not bel I refuse to let you. It is a preposterous idea! Why, think of what you are doing, think of your friends, NINETEEN THREE 95 your duty to them! But what nonsense-you are fooling, and I have taken you seriouslyf' You know I am not foolingg far from that, Raynor. There is no reason why I should not go. I have no parents, no one who needs me, and I am sure I could do something there. When I have talked about having a goal in view, a purpose in life, it has been an ideal, but now I see my way clear to make it a reality. I-ler eyes shone with enthusiasm, and as Raynor Waldo watched her he knew she was deeply sincere. But Grace, think! he pleaded, what it all means. I can hardly understand it yet myselff' Yes, that is the reason I told you it was to be a secret, because very few would understand. What do these people whose lives are bound up in society scandals and the latest fads know or care of the way people in foreign lands live and die? Many will condemn me and think I am a fanatic, or slightly unbalanced, perhaps, but what of that? I shall L. Yes, yes, broke in Raynor, but do you realize the dangers? There is one thing I shall insist upon-if you go, I go too. He rose and stepped to the window. It is raining. May I order the carriage and see you home? Yes, and at once, please. I did not realize it was getting so late. I will be ready in a moment. She hastily bade her hostess good-night and withdrew. For a few moments Grace and her escort drove on in silence. Only the pattering of the rain on the carriage roof or the splashing of the horses' hoofs disturbed the quiet. After a few seconds of thought Raynor turned toward her, and in a voice which was almost a command, he began, 'fGrace, I beg of you to stop and consider. If you finally insist upon going, then remember I shall go too, but I want you to fully realize what you are doing. Yes, Raynor, I do realize it all. Iam no longer a child, and I have weighed the whole matter carefully, but, she hesitated a moment and her voice trembled, I had not thought you cared as much-as much as this. 96 THE CHIMES Oh, Grace ! You know I care-and yet that is not the word to use. I care so muoh I cannot begin to tell you how I feel about it, but my proof that I 'care,' as you call it, is that you shall never go alone. Give up the idea, Grace, and make me happy. Say you will. Her eyes filled with tears. No, we will talk no more of the matter tonight, but I am determined, and I must tell you now that you cannot think of going with me. It would be impossible for me to accomplish the work I am undertaking and yet be with you. Tlren, too, what would the world say? You must see it is quite impossible. I shall be gone three or four years, but when I come back, then if you still feel the same-perhaps-but here we are at the door. I am very tiredl Good-night, and I appreciate your kindness far more than you can realize. Good-night, he murmured, as he lifted her .fingers to his lips and kissed them. 'tGood-night, and may heaven guard you. The sun had just dropped down behind the topmost peak of the Molino mountain range. It was the twilight hour and the streets were deserted. Occasionally someone came out of a house and loitered about the door for a few minutes, but for the most part no signs of life were visible. The little town of Popayan was quiet after its day's Work. The heat of the noon-time was over and the earth was reviving in the evening shadows. The door of one of the low houses opened and a girl came out upon the veranda. Her dark hair caught for a second the last dying radiance of the sun, and her face, lighted by the reflection from the summer sky, was very beautiful. Seating herself on the steps, she leaned back against the pillar of the veranda and looked across at the wood-covered mountains opposite her. Her hands lay idly in her lap and her whole attitude showed complete fatigue. Three years ago tonight, she mused, I was leaving New York for South America. How far away that time seems. Three years! No, three hundred years. And yet tonight I can seem to hear their voices, see them and mingle with them as of old, the loved ones at home. They are rising from the table and gathering before the open tire, Uncle and Aunt and the children. Possibly NINETEEN THREE 97 they are speaking of me, and wondering whether I am happy. Happy? Yes, I have been very happy in the midst of all this sorrow. The night of Mrs. Errington's reception-oh, how far away it seems. Raynor-the way he looked at me-his voice-it all comes over me tonight. Three years! I wonder if I have changed. She. shivered slightly and then rose from the steps. It was dark and the air was cool after the heat of the day. The mountains were black and sombre. She stood gazing into their depths for a moment and then turned to enter the house. CJ Oh, Miss Gracia, here is a letter for you. The mail has just arrived from Bogota! called the peon, and Grace turned eagerly to receive the welcome missive. ff From Raynor! she exclaimed. Ahl it has come like a message of cheer and courage, at a time when I needed it most. She hastily tore open the envelope and read it through. Come home, it said. I have waited three long years, and if you do n't return now I shall come after you. I am in earnest, dear, I shall comef' The letter dropped from her fingers, and she buried her head in her hands and sobbed. He cares, he cares, even now! Oh, I am so happy, so happy. And it shall be as he wishes. I will go. I believe I have accomplished much since I have been here. The doctors have told me I have done more good'than I, myself, can realize, and I know the lepers love me, but I believe I have done my duty and I am going home. Going home -how sweet it sounds. When? In a month? a week? tomorrow? Yes, it shall be tomorrow. I can wait no longer-tomorrow. A step sounded on the veranda. Miss Gracial Miss Gracia! There is a courier here. He would speak with you. Will you admit him? Yes, Francisco, just a moment-there-I am ready, you may bid him enter. The courier, a fine looking Spaniard, entered and bowed respectfully. Miss Gracia, will you come at once to Purifacto? Lionel is dying, and he begs that you will help him to enter into your heaven. I-Ie will talk of 95 THE CHIIVIES nothing else and he will see no one. He entreated some one to get a message to you, and I came myself. But it is dark, and if you do not care to go I will tell him you cannot come? No, I will gladly go. My horse quickly E Let us be off at once. The ride was a dangerous one after dark, but at last the little settlement was reached and Grace hurriedly dismounted. This was the leper village. Here were the outcasts from the neighboring places-the suffering, dying lepers. Here it was that she came day after day, and worked and prayed among them. Tonight she went straight to a little, rude hut and softly opened the door. Lying on a pallet of straw was the dying man. She saw at a glance that he was failing fast. Kneeling by his side she took his head in her lap and gently called his name. ' 'PH Lionel, Lionel, I am here, what can I do for you. she whispered. For a minute there was no answer. His sightless eyes were closed. She bent over him and listened. He was trying to speak: You have come-I knew you would-will you tell me once more the story how I-Ie cleanseth all His children. So, softly and slowly, she told him of the great love her .Redeemer had for the sick, how, when he was here upon the earth, he had laid his hands upon the lepersg and lo, their disease left them at once and they were made clean. She told him of the life awaiting him, of the Christ that had died for him, and when she had ended she bent again over the dying form. What change had taken place? The awful disease that had worked such havoc had ceased its terrible ravages. A new look of peace rested upon his face. She slowly rose and covered the motionless figure with her own wrap, then silently left the hut and mounted her horse. The courier was awaiting her. Together they rode back through the night and neither spoke. f'Death, it was merciful, she thought, it came as a friend and not as a foe. She slowly climbed the stairs to bed. It was almost time for the first grey streaks of dawn to appear from behind the mountains. - NINETEEN THREE 99 'fl am tired tonight, she said to herself, and I have been tired for sev- eral days, but I have been working harder than ever before, there is so much to do. But, somehow, tonight I notice it more than usual, there is such an oppressive feeling weighing me down. My whole body aches with fatigue, but, there, tomorrow! Tomorrowl shall write that I shall start in a very few days. The last remaining things must be nnished, and then I shall go. Two or three days at the most. Her eyes closed, but even in her sleep she mur- mured over ind over I am going home- home-home. The morning dawned clear and warm. All nature seemed refreshed after its night's rest. But it was almost noon before Grace awoke. The feeling of fatigue and pain that she had felt the night before was still there. She arose and began to dress. As she did so her glance suddenly fell upon a dark red spot on her arm. With a sickening fear at her heart, she carefully examined it, till the awful truth was forced upon her. She was a leper! ! For a few seconds she stood perfectly still. A block of marble could not have been more motion- less. I-Ier eyes stared straight before her at the opposite wall, her hands clinched at her side, her face deathlike in its pallor. Then she swayed slightly to and fro and dropped to the Hoot beside the bed. Nearly an hour passed before she recovered consciousness. Then her returning senses were bewil- dered and numb from the shock. Where am I? she moaned, and what horrible dream have I had? I thought I was a-no-no-I will not use the awful word. Oh, thank heaven I it is past. The sunlight and the day are here. I am so glad I Why, I can even yet seem to feel the numbness which I felt when I saw that mark upon my arm. But look l I shall convince myself. A It is not there'-it is - I-Ier eyes fell again upon the ugly red mark. She looked at it a long time and then raised her linger and touched it. Yes, it did not change. It was there. She was not dreamingg it was the truth. She was an outcast, too. I-Ier head sank forward upon the bed and her whole body shook with dry, convulsive sobs. Oh, Father I she cried, why did you let it be? Why did you let it come? A leper! Oh-why? Hour after hour she lay in the same position, until her strength was entirely gone, and from sheer exhaustion she slept-but only for a short time. 100 THE CHINIES There was so much to be done and to be thought of, plans to be made-her own funeral plans. After the first shock was over she faced the grim monster with a calm courage which she had not known she possessed. It was like being a spectator at one's own death and burial. She had attended so many living deaths, she knew what hers would be. When a leper was found living in Popayan, he was immediately ostracized by the town authorities, but before he went his friends were summoned and his funeral service was held. He was laid in the coffin while the service was being performed and, at the close, a spadeful of earth was thrown in upon the body, to show that all was over. Then. he left and went away forever, dead to his friends, dead to 'his community. The horror of these funeral services had never lessened with her, so she made up her mind to go at once, not to wait until the disease became apparent, but to go now, while she was yet strong. But what word should she send home? This was the day she was to have written that she would return. Could it be possible that she had intended to go home? How strange the words sounded now. .Home-that was the dream and this was the awakening. She sent for the nearest doctor and bade him write the last words she wished sent to her friends. They were only a sentence or two and addressed to Raynor Waldo : Grace Armstrong has died. Tell her family. It was her dying wish that you should receive this message. Her body lies buried here, at her re- quest. Signed, From a Friend. That was all, but it would save their knowing the hideous truth and keep them from coming to search for her. That evening, just as the sun was setting again, a young girl came out upon the veranda and stood looking out over the mountains. Her hands were clasped together and her face turned upward to the slowly darkening sky. Great tears filled her eyes and dropped down upon her hands. It was the first time she had cried since the awful truth had come to her. Father, she whispered, help me, and if it be thy will, may the end be soon. I am going away to return no more. I am a leper. Oh Father, help me. She slowly ascended the steps, taking only a few of her personal belongings with her. The rest would be sent later by the faithful peon. I know the people love me and they will do everything they can for me. I shall NINETEEN THREE 101 not suffer from actual need, but-oh God, if it could have been otherwise Il' She turned to look back at the little house. Good-bye, she whispered, I have still much work to do, and I have a feeling that I have not lived for nothing. Good-bye, dear ones at home, good-bye.'l She drew a letter from her breast and reverently kissed it. f'Yes, it is true, I am going home and I ani starting today, but the way is hard, Father, and I am very tired. She put the letter back in her pocket and her lips faintly uttered the last Words, Rayner, gcgd-bye until we meet at home-good-bye. She turned and hurried down the path. The horse was waiting, and an hour's ride would bring her to the leper village. 102 THE CHIMES 1 A Strange Adventure. BY FANNY BADGER HAYDEN. HAD been riding in a dingy, smoky car all day from London to Lancaster, and as I never before had travelled such a distance alone, and never had been in that locality, I was beginning to imagine all the dreadful things that might happen to me if I had passed Lancaster without knowing it. Fur- thermore, my aunt, whom I was to visit, had written me that at Gloucester one of my cousins might meet me and accompany me the rest of the journey, but although I had scanned the face of each passenger who had entered the train at Gloucester, none of them were at all familiar looking. Suddenly the train stopped at a little station and a tall, handsome young man got on. After looking through all the cars, he Hnally came up to me and asked if the other half of my seat was engaged. Of course I said no,- there seemed at that moment nothing else to say. After riding awhile in silence, my companion turned to me and asked my destination. I-Iow my voice did tremble as I answered, Lancaster. I imagined I saw a faint suspicion of a smile on his face, as he asked again, 'f Have you friends there? I have some and possibly you know themf' I know no one but my aunt, Mrs. Sylvester, and her son john, Ian- swered. All this time I was hesitating whether or not to speak to the guard, should he appear. 'fBut, thought I, my fellow traveller is very pleasant and I am so lonely, surely I can take care of myself. just then he interrupted my reveries with the exclamation: jfjohn Sylvester your cousin! Why, I know him quite well-rather an odd looking fellow and not an especially agreeable one, either. Poor fellow, he hasn't made much of a success in the world. At this I became quite angry, and forgetting that he was a stranger, ex- claimed, Odd looking and disagreeable l I think you are very unkind to run down my cousin. I have never seen him, at least not for ten years, but he was very nice then, and I won't believe he has changed. To my horror I felt my- self blushing. . NINETEEN THREE 103 He smiled rather peculiarly, and a twinkle came into his eyes as he said, I humbly beg your pardon. Of course I should not have spoken so about your cousin. I-le tried so hard to look contrite that I forgave him on the spot. There was a long uncomfortable silence, during which I gazed out of the window into the darkness. Finally he broke the silence. Perhaps you will tell me your name, as we may meet again, sometime 5 'I but as I was about to reply, the guard opened the door and called Lancaster, in a loud voice. I rose quickly and seized my dress-suit case, but it was as suddenly taken from me, audi found myself following this stranger from the car to the platform as one in a dream. He left me for a moment to call a carriage, and as I stood on the strange platform, watching the train glide away into the darkness, I con- fessed to myself that I did not know what to do. At this instant he returned, and leading the way to a carriage, helped me into it and took the seat beside me. I had forgotten to give the address to the driver, butjust' then he leaned over and I heard my strange friend give him the correct one. I started with surprise, and was about to ask him how he knew the address, when I remembered that, as he knew john Sylvester very well, he probably knew where he lived. We rode on in silence until the carriage stopped at a large, beautiful man- sion, which looked bright and homelike to me, from the glimpses I caught through the windows, after my long journey. Up the steps I flew, and in the hall was met by my dear aunt. In the warmth of my welcome I had entirely forgotten my strange friend, but suddenly remembering him, I turned around to present him. What was my surprise to find him coolly hanging up his coat and hat, as if he owned the house I I gazed at him, speechless, and seeing my be- wilderment he proceeded to enlighten me. I am john,'l he said simply. At the dinner table that evening, after he had finished telling the family about our meeting, he turned to me, and with a smile which brought the color to my cheeks, said, Truly, I never expected to lind such a warm champion.

THE CHIMES Scroll nv A JUNIOR ln Bradford town of much renown, A fine school stands, you know, And oncelin Spring, for of this Ising, Much Wisdom and wit did flow. For the Seniors dear, albeit most queer, A feast quite fine did plan, From a menu complete they decided to eat, And then the fun began. Erect in her seat, with countenance sweet, The President pleasantly beamedg With unconscious smile, she sat awhile, And amid the turmoil, dreamed 5 But her thoughts, I ween, were easily seen, As unknowingly they were portrayed. By Fancy bred, and a fflittle god led, Were the dreams of the senior maid. What 's in a name? said a man of fame, And he surely had Argue in mind, For tho' through the day she may talk alway, Yet dear heart uses phrases refined. And ,tis so of the Dude, who with frolicsome mood, A stunning Bob Acres did make, Not so big up and down, yet a mighty big frown She assumed for the characteris sake. And Gretchen comes next to illumine my text, As Treasurer she does her part, She 's Deutch, they say, and always so gay, And does usfall up in our Art! NINETEEN THREE 115 Where 's Ella meanwhile, with her lofty smile? Why, of course, where the radishes be I Most divinely tall, she can play basket ball, For as high as the basket is she. But whom do I spy, as they serenely walk by, Surely they 're both highte Brown, But one with an He and one without, as you see, To distinguish their honest renown. There 's Helen so sweet, and surely 'tis meet That her Orphans should follow in tow, While Lillian stern causes faces to burn just by saying Self government low. There 's Isadore, likes men forty and more, Tho' to boys she 'll not scruple to speak, She's surely not dull, yet there's always a lull When she sings with her perfect technique. An Anne there was, with a huge fluffy buzz, And another Anne there do I see, In athletics they meet and for honors compete, 'Tis a marvel how judges agree. Here 's Blanche the fair, with her Languish- ing air, In her eye there is shining a gleam, And I know her thought, as perhaps it ought, Is traveling afar in a dream. But hark I a cry l it sounds nearby, And I turn me about to see That 'tis Polly there, as she shakes her blonde hair, While directing the Bradford Glee. Now Fanny draws near, and with notes sweet and clear, Proceeds to dissolve into song, While Chellis and Beck, in discord a speck, Most cheerfully follow along. THE CHIIVIES A deep, deep tone sails aloft all alone, And I anxiously turned and heard Maude Mathews to shout, while Sally helped out, And Grace Westcott sailed on like a bird. Well, I declare ! there 's Trude Childs over there, Submerged in a genial great grin, While Ruth O'Dwyer sat, bemoaning her fat, As she peeped o'er her huge double chin. Then I turned me to go, but departed slow, For I heard a most marvelous trillg Helen Raynolds had passed in her essay at last, And the judges had all had a chill. With sorrow I started, for 'twas hard to be parted, As I aimed back at Ruth Warner a grin, Through a clamor most frightful, tho' withal delightful, Mary Crandall was making a din. I gazed at the scene with interest most keen, And longed to remain and see more, But off down the hall, where you couldn't see them at all, I knew I should find 1904. .
