Do you remember, va ' hack in 1922 how we tore our hair over schedules up in the old library across from Miss Mark ' s office? And have you forgotten the day we were hazed before all the faculty and students? I don ' t know how we ever got along before we elected Miss Paul as our faculty advisor. Will you ever forget the Fresh- man party, and her farce that made King Boo-Hoo-Ali famous? Constance Clark was our president that year, wasn ' t she? Don ' t you sometimes wonder how we ever lived through Dr. White ' s History D, Doctor ' s Fish ' s Biolog) ' , and those three themes a week for Miss Hawk? We were spritely enough as Sophomores, though, for we nearly won the song contest, we gave a musical comedy at our Cotillion, and we gave a Dinner Dance for the Endowment Fund. Poor Lib Hubbard! She was always having to call class meetings. Then we were Juniors, with colors to pass down to little sisters, and a Christmas; party to give with them. Miss Paul ' s tea helped us over the days before exams. The class-rings arrived! The Mid- ' ear Prom wiiirled by! And lo ! spring was upon us, with May Day and the Cinderella episode. Then came spring election, and Helen Simons gave place as class president to Ruth Rimer. Page thirty- four RUTH RIMER Clarion, Pa. Glee Club {1, 2, 3, 4).

But Lancelot has come out of the West And stolen our precious jewels. HELEN BROMLEY Washington, Pa.

The winds shall fling my song aloft; And when the snow comes drifting soft In glistening whiteness I shall be Glad as the trees are, and as free.

And 5 ' ou changed horses at Oakland ! When you went in carriages to the Third Presbyterian Church for Commence- ment exercises? And the Seniors ' best young men were ushers! When May Day exercises consisted of an entertainment for alumnae and was held in the oval by the gymnasium ? And refreshments were served ? And the time the rain drenched those lovely crepe paper costumes? ' Member this? Dr. Fisher: And what happened to the three children of Israel in the fiery furnace? Miss : Why — they burned, 1 suppose. And this? Dr. Lindsay: How do we know that Paul was a practical man? Miss : Because he preached a sermon on faith, hope and charity and then took up a collection. Who was it who explained that the streets of Jerusalem are dark because the second stories of the houses are above the first? And do you remember the Fat Party when those who had gained alarmingly (in their eyes) held a special banquet with Dutch pudding, fudge, cocoanut cake, salted peanuts and candy while the rest of the dining room gasped with envv? And do you remember the sequel? An alumna writes: The next night when we fatties descended for dinner we found the ' dining- room curiously deserted. Hungrily we waited behind our chairs. Then suddenly a procession appeared in caps and gowns and, headed by Miss Coolidge (then Dean), cir- cled about the dining-room. Some bore large piles of books, some skulls, and some huge placards, on which we read ' Brains, not Avoirdupois, Quality, not Quantity. ' And the discussion Is it pvoper to eat soup with a sponge? which was settled thus: It is proper to eat soup with a sponge the hostess does not provide any other utensil. The sponge should be taken between the thu mb and forefinger and deftly raised to the lips over which it should be brushed softly until the soup disappears! Remember how those Psyche knots interfered with the correct balance of a mortar board ? How many alumnae have counted the steps from Woodland Road — just to see? Remember the lecture hour gi en over to A Minuet and Greek Poses by the Class in Physical Education ? Remember the curriculum for Preparatory school? Reading, arithmetic, spelling, English grammar, geography, composition and penmanship ? Taken from a catalogue: The evil of coming into class after the work of the year is begun is so serious — P. C. W. has always been an advocate of modern thought. In 1872 a lecture on Darwinism was delivered to the innocent young students of that female institution. Finally — Remember this feeling? If some kind fairy could put us back into those good, old days, we would still enjoy that rushing life.

In the fall of 1909 the college was separated, scholas- tically, from Dilworth Hall (the preparatory school associated with P. C. W. at that time) and a very simple form of student government was instituted for the resident students alone. Miss Elma McKibben was the first house president of this organi- zation. Under the able supervision of Miss Cora Helen Coolidge, who was then dean of the college, the organization flourished. In 1913-14 the day students (non-resi- dent students) petitioned, and were admitted into, the Student-Government body. The first Student-Government President was duly elected. Miss Janet Brownlee, a niece of Miss Janet Brownlee, to whom this book is dedicated. As was previously stated, the organization had a simple beginning, but rapidly developed into the smoothly functioning machine which it now is. Student-Govern- ment has always been a success. It is independent of faculty supervision, and is subject only to the recommendations of the Conference Council and to the Dean in an advisory capacity. Upon entering college each student automatically becomes a member of this organization. The constitution of the P. C. W. Student Government Association provides for its officers, its system of government and its various boards of adminis- tration. Its purpose is to regulate and control the student life in so far as this func- tion is delegated to it by the faculty and to uphold the best interest oi the college community in both conduct and scholarship. Consisting of seven members, the Student Executive Board is organized for the general management of student life. There are also House Boards organized for the purpose of bringing the dormitories into closer relationship with the Student Govern- ment. As a result the Association has permanently adopted the ruling that each House President automatically shall become a Vice-President of Student Government. The Honor Council, an association co-operating with Student Government, was organized to bestow upon each individual a certain sense of responsibility and personal control. The Honor Council is comprised both of members of the Faculty and of the student body, the majority being students. Representatives of our Student-Government Body attend the conference held every November for all women ' s colleges and universities east of the Mississippi which have a graduating class of thirty or more. The purpose of these conferences is to bring together as many of the Student Self-Governing Bodies, as possible, and to ascertain from actual contact the progress of different organizations of the same type. This year ' s conference was held in November at Wellesley, the delegates from P. C. W. being the Student-Government President, Catherine Savers, and a Junior Representative, Esther Watson. 3 Mes sage From the honorary faculty member of the Student Government Organization Student Government — an organization the aim of which is to develop the char- acter and responsibility of the individual and to promote loyalty to the college. It is something to appreciate the privilege of being a student in a good college; it is more to meet the responsibility which goes hand in hand with that privilege. ' It ain ' t tiie individual nor the army as a vhole but the everlastin ' team work of every bloomin ' soul ' that will make for success. Margaret A.

W., was through the welcome letter that you sent to all of us before we came to college. Freshman hearts are glad- dened knowing that a Big Sister will be waiting to help one over the difficult places of the first college year. This was a happy impression. The second impression of you was made that Friday niglit in September, when we all learned to know each other at the Get Acquainted party. This, too, left a joyous impression of making new friends and receiving new experiences. But the third and most lasting impression of you, Y. W., was given us the day you recognized us with your Candle Service and took us into your association for the purpose of always following the Gleam. That was a precious and solemn impression. 1928 For giving to our lives the joy and opportunity of serving others; for keeping our vision world-wide and our ideals high ; for innumerable good times, physical, mental, and spiritual; for companionship, not only with the best of girls, but with the greatest Friend of all — for these, we thank you, Y. W. C. A. ! 1927 ' Y. W. — The friendship and service organization ; giving the first personal service to new students through its Big Sister organization; providing the first social interest through its Get-Acquainted Party ; serving as no other organization can by its informal weekly meetings; and most important, being a means through which to serve others. 1926 A truly successful life must be patterned after the Jesus way, and conforming to this way, every true and loyal Y. W. girl holds her career. The Y. W. teaches us to be kind and thoughtful to all about us regardless of race or creed. y. M Conference (Annually held at Eaglesmere for college women representing Y. W. C. A. branches of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and West Virginia.) To give in a few words an appreciation of Eaglesmere with regard to its physical beauty and its religious inspiration is an almost impossible task. The service which this ideal spot renders through the annual Y. W. C. A. Conference held there is inestimable in the form of new ideas for local organization, and new impetus to carry on the college work. Eaglesmere is the meeting place of those bearing ideas. It is the sharing-place of enrichening experience.

Page one hundred tiuenty-three Dramatic Cluti The Dramatic Club was organized in 1Q08 with a membership of fifty girls. Its purpose was to put all the dramatics, with the exception of the Senior play, into the hands of the students. In those days members were admitted from all classes, any girl being eligible. The Club maintained a Monthly Theatre Announcement De- partment which recommended to the students plays which were notable for their artistic merit, vital interest, or timely appeal. The first presentation of the club w-as participated in by Juniors and Seniors alone. It took the form of a Danish lyrical drama, King Rene ' s Daughter. Although seventeen years have wrought many minor changes in the methods and membership of the Dramatic Club, in substance it is similar to the original organiza- tion. It still aims at a further study and appreciation of the drama than that which can be obtained in regular class vork alone. By maintaining a membership of seventy-five, the club gives many girls an opportunity to learn much about methods of play production. Membership is obtained through try-outs at the beginning of every year, and all Seniors, Juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen in the Spoken English Department are eligible. The dramatics are not wholly in the hands of the students; yet groups, including all the club members, are arranged yearly, and each group is responsible for presentation of a short play at a regular club meeting. The club keeps in close contact with the dramatic activities in the city; occasionally it has been able to entertain stage celebrities. Last year, under the competent direction of Miss Kerst and Miss Paul, the club presented two plays: Thf Romantic Age, by A. A. Milne, which was given two Pai i ' one liundred tiventy-four nights in November, and You and I, by Phillip Barry, which was played in March. This year the production was The Chinese Lantern by Laurence Housman. HONORARY MEMBERS Miss Vanda E. Kerst Miss Mary Jane Paul Elsie McElwaine President Helen Irwin ..Secretary-Treasurer Audrey R.

A chronicling of its activities does not appear until 1905, when the organization was directed by Mme. Graziani. Then, thirty voices comprised the chorus; now an en- rollment of sixty indicates the growth of the club. As the membership has increased, the qualifications for membership ha e neces- sarily been limited. Formerly upon entrance to the college all new students were required to have their voices tested for membership in the Glee Club. Today only those girls who are seeking membership in the club, are required to take the test. Even of this number only a small percentage can be admitted into membership. Joint concerts with Pitt, Tech, and W. i J. have for manv years been a part of the annual program of this club. Within the last few years, radio concerts have also been introduced. The club has always employed its talent at college affairs and in church programs. Commencement, of course, would not be Commencement with- out the Glee Club. The success of the organization is due to the girls ' splendid co-operation with the director, Mrs. Rockwell, and with the pianist. Miss Goodell. The programs, including all types of songs, are beneficial as well as enjoyable to the girls themselves. Director Mabel Davis Rockwell AcconipaiiisI Alice M.

Omega, whose membership is based on literary interest and scholarship, has as the foundation for the annual program, a comprehensive review of current literature and drama. Of special interest to the entire college, a short-story contest is held every spring by this society. Back in the days of ' 06 the young club, proud in its new conscious- ness of a purse, offered a cash prize for the winning story. Now, reaching its age of discretion, the pecuniary prize has given way to one of value more coincident with the literary purpose of the club — books. Omega has been successful in bringing together, for the sharing of varied in- terests -Tnd the encouragement of creative efifort, girls who are conspicuous for some particular literary ability. It is hoped that the short-story contest may incite students outside the club ac- cordingly, to increasingly greater literary effort and interest.

Meloy, head of the College Department of Social Service. The club endeavors to make its members better acquainted with the social agencies and activities in Pittsburgh and other cities through the medium of discussions, and of talks by experienced social workers who appear before the club from time to time. The interests of the society are many and varied. Besides this contact with and study of the various social agencies, there is carried on a practical application of social work by the club as a body. This is manifested in the establishment of a library for the maids, in the maintenance of a Student Loan Fund for the use of students who are financially unable to pursue their college studies, and in the Christmas Party held by the members of the club every year for the children at the Woods Run Settlement.

A truly Roman feast with slaves, togas, and baked hams! This, in a very modern but respectable Female College. Just that! And it was a Phi Pi event, the sort of event Phi Pi would choose — to recall the old Greek and Latin customs. For that is ever the aim of Phi Pi : The furthering of interest in the classics and an increasing and universal familiarity with those ancient civilizations whose literature and customs are the basis of our own. This is the aim which the little Classical Club, with fifteen original members took as its own, November 27, 1916. But the character of its meeting was, no doubt very different then from that which prevails now. As the meetings have changed, so have the qualifications for membership. Formerly all girls in the department of Latin and Greek who wished to join, were invited to do so. Now the membership is limited to those who have completed one semester of college Latin or Greek.

K. C, Remember back in 1920 when seven hungry history hounds founded Interna- tional Relations Club. (It is rumored that they hoped to impress the opposite sex with their knowledge of political problems and international affairs!) The first year saw many interesting events — hikes to Squaw Run, a heated political rally, deadly discussions on the Mexican Situation and on Russia, and lectures by Baron Korff of the University of Helsingfors, Finland, and by Dr. Kimball, head of the American Government Department in Smith Gallege. That early standard for meetings has been maintained by I. R. C. up to the present time. But the club does not always delve into politics and into the activities of international affairs. Hikes and steak dinners are a source of great delight. Twice the club stirred the entire college: by holding a vote on the Bok Peace Plan, and later by a mock presidential election in which, by a huge majority, Miss Cora Helen Coolidge was elected president of the United States.

Remember that table when you were never quite certain whether you were being asked for the salt or being told to aller hence from the table! In 1919 the club was formally organized with an Anglo-French tone to its meet- ings that was most refreshing. The business meetings were conducted in English and the recreational portion of the afternoon, in French. (Had this a hidden sig- nificance, we wonder?) Unfortunately the club had its exodus after several years of activity, and it re- mained a negative quantity until 1924. The meetings of the club since then have been conducted entirely in French, as a means of better accomplishing its purpose of furthering an interest in, and a study of, France, its language, literature and people.

C. W. gravitated into an organization known as the Mandolin Club. Strangely enough the Mandolin Club was composed mainly of musicians whose instruments were not mandolins, yet talent must have been evident, for at their first public performance, given for the United Presbyterian Home for the Aged, it is recorded that one of the Aged remarked: Where did you get the professionals? Unfortunately this club so auspiciously begun, dwindled away, until for a time it remained only as a record in the college annuals. But musical genius cannot be downed. This year, under the leadership of Peg Johnston, the club has been reorganized.

There is evidence that there was a Peniisylvaiiian in 1907, and probably it had its first edition in 1905. The purpose was to suppl - the need of a regular college annual, to keep pace with the other colleges and institutions in the country, and to summarize the activities and the achievements of the college, the faculty and the students of the two immediate preceding years. The object of the annual is practically the same today as it was originally. Best of all, perhaps, it serves as a record and memoir for the Senior and Junior classes. It is representative, as far as possible, of the most important events of the two years, and is the result both of the collaboration of the Seniors and Juniors and the co- operation of the student body. The positions of editor-in-chief and of business- manager are prerogative of members of the Senior class, but these officers are elected by the student bodv as a whole.

The first attempt at a college publication by students occured in 1894 when a paper called the Sorosis appeared. The initial number being dated March, 1894. Thereafter the Sorosis was published monthly. The Sorosis continued until 1921 when the need was felt for a paper that should appear more frequently and should contain more news. This need was answered in the founding of the Arroiv in the summer of 1921 and of its operation in the fall in the form of a regular college newspaper. In 1923 it was reduced to its present size for convenience. The purpose of the Arroiu was to revive the interest of the students in a college publication, to succeed the Sorosis as a literary type, and to supply the needs of the college for a paper which would contain a complete record of school activities and of alumnae news. The Arroiv was to be a paper which in every way would be worthy of P. C. W.

C. W. The year was 1924; the girl, Ruth Justice; and the result, the Englicode, which derives its title from the first syllables of the name of its initial contributors, members of the English Composition Depart- ment. The Englicode made its introductory appearance at the end of that first year, and thereupon a new name was added to the roll of college publications. Let us mention here those whose compositions made up the first number of the Englicode: Ruth Justice, ' 26; Christine Griggs, ' 27; Anna Negley, ' 27; Edith Jay, ' 27; ] Iabel Breitweiser, ' 26; Elizabeth Whitten, ' 27; Rachel Stevenson, ' 27; Frances House, ' 27; Martina Getting, ' 26; and Elizabeth Anderson, ' 27. The next year the Englicode appeared four times. With the issuing of the last number a new plan was decided upon ; namely, that of publishing the Englicode in connection with the Arrow. The plan proved to be successful and the two papers have since been published under one business management, although under separate editorial staffs. The E,nglicode was founded with the purpose of furthering literary expression among the students. The first few numbers have had to depend largely upon students in the English Composition Department for material. However, it is a magazine published for and by the students, and it is hoped that in the future more of them will avail themselves of the opportunity to tell of their problems, their ideals, and their fancies through its pages. Editor Louise Rodgers, ' 27 Assistant Editor.. Helen Gordon, ' 28 Cf)c l anD Ogook The Handbook is the college reference book. The Handbook was originated in the fall of 1922 with Martha McKibben, chairman of the committee, in charge of the edition. Since then it has been recei ' ed officially as an organ of our Student Government Association, and is issued and dis- tributed to all the students the first of each year. It is prepared especially for new students, and contains addresses of welcome by our President, Miss Coolidge, by our Dean, Miss Marks, and by the Chairman of the Handbook Committee. It lists all the rules and regulations of the college and of the societies; gives the point system for various officers; and gives the names of the officers elected each year. In the back of the book is the song section to which new songs are added yearly. Thus it is a useful source book of information and its main object is to be a helping guide to t he ne v students and a reference book to the old students.

Long lines of white-robed innocents approaching the representatives of their sister class to receive their colors. Magic colors — to be treasured for four years — to be loved with the in- creasing intensity that the joys and sorrows of four years bring. Red and white — life and purity — high ideals for Freshman hearts. The thrill of the welcoming songs — the thrill of being wanted — of belonging! The pride in being able to compete in the song contest — to compete with sister classes as the little sister class — as a class ! That was Color Day to the Freshman. , Mi, (3tt acquaintcD Pattp There was once a little black traveling bag. This little bag was lost, smashed, frowned upon by baggage masters, kicked about by porters. There was once a little Freshman. This Freshman was little, scared, and green. She was frowned upon by schedules, kicked about by threatening ten-minute writtens. She felt, indeed, no better than the errant bit of luggage referred to above. But relief was ahead. Out of the chaos and gloom a friendly hand reached out to grasp hers. The Y. W., Big Sister to all new students, through a get acquainted party, broke the ice and established a general spirit of comraderie between Seniors, Freshman, Faculty, Sophomores and Juniors. Thus the timid Freshman learned that iVIiss Marks doesn ' t spend all her time making out dean calls, and that Dr. Doxsee likes to talk about Cabell and Dreiser as well as Carlyle. If we could have a get- acquainted party every week, reflected the Freshman, what u ' ouldn ' t we know about each other? (We can ' t imagine his finding anybody to talk to, but we just put this in be- cause it ' s so hard to know ivhat to say ! ) g atdculation Dap In the chapel were seated solemn, black- robed Seniors — Juniors awed by their new dignity as upper classmen — Sophomores still very near their Freshman days, and Alumnae to whom this day recalled their own. The organ sounded — the sub- dued conversation ceased ; a flutter of excitement passed over the assemblage. The Matriculation Day procession had begun. First came the presidents of the Student Government Organization and of the Young Women ' s Christian Association, followed by the Faculty, who had suf- fered this ritual for so long a time that it seems as if now it must have become to them a penance for being sage. It was the Freshman ' s day. Details are subservient to that fact. This one day the Freshman reigned. Qiountain Dap The Freshman sat in Student Government meeting and listened. (Supposedly that is all Freshmen dare to do.) The Student Government President rapped for order. Shall we have Mountain Day this year? she demanded. Those in favor rise. The Freshman rose witli the rest. Very well, we shall have Mountain Day, Saturday, October 17th, at Mahood ' s Farm. Just what is Mountain Day? the Freshman wondered. October 17th, was the answer to her query. But what is it? It is the day to forget dorines and that school-girl complexion. It is the day to eat hot dogs and pickles; the day to tear knickers and sweaters climb- ing over barbed-wire fences. It is the day to end with a perfect ending — to ride home on busses through the gatliering twilight, singing college songs vociferously all the way home. That is Mountain Day! Page one hundred forty J allotue ' en partp The one time in the year when every woman satisHcs, her natural desire to be somebody else (see Freshman English) is at Hallowe ' en. It is then that the terror of the school creeps out garbed as the demurest of nuns, that the gray little mouse clanks forth with cutlass and hip boots — and Clara Osgood emerges as Douglas Fairbanks. The Freshman dressed in a short ruffly skirt. She indulged in lip-stick to her heart ' s content. She played games, and marched in the grand march and won a prize for the cleverest costume! She ate doughnuts and taffy and peanuts and apples; she drank cider (nice soft cider!) ; she did not count the consequences thereof. For it was the Hallowe ' en Party ! jFresfjman Dance Excerpts from the Freshman ' s diary : Dear diary, I am so excited! The Freshman dance is coming! I haven ' t a thing to wear! At the table last night Mary and I were talking about what we were going to wear. I insisted that we should wear evening dresses. Mary insisted that she was going to make her man wear a Tux. We argued and argued, we got so excited, the rest of the people at our table just glared- It was very amusing. opbomorc Dance It was the night of the Sophomore Dance. The Freshman and her room-mate enviously watched the Sophomore across the hall as she finished powdering and rushed downstairs to her waiting swain. The two girls sighed as the orchestra struck up a gay Charlestoning tune. Like naughty children, they crept down the stairs and looked into the hall where their friendly foes, the Sophomores, were dancing. The music, the decorations, the girls — everything was beautiful. Miss Marks and Miss Coolidge were there, gracefully performing their difficult task of chaperoning. (The task was made rather easy by the fact that ho chaperoning was really necessary!!!) The Freshmen became too envious in contemplating the scene. They retreated to their room to dream about their Freshman Dance, the ideal dance. 3[unior= enior Dance In Woodland Hall a subdued hum of gaiety was heard. The Freshman stole to the hall and peeped in. This was no Freshman nor even a Sophomore dance. That much was evident to the Freshman. Her older college sisters were disporting themselves in the manner of the dancers who had gone before — but to a lesser degree. There were fewer shoutings, more whisperings; less romping, more sauntering; but then — also were there fewer frat pins and more diamond rings displayed. Miss Marks and Miss Coolidge smiled sedately upon the stately Juniors and Seniors cavorting about the room. The Fresh- man sighed. Oh ! the joy of being a Junior or a Senior and of going to the Junior- Senior dance ! Ci)ristmas part? When cranberries were reddening, knobby bundles sprouting up, and turkeys taking reducing exercises, Santa Claus came to P. C. W. He whispered to the Fac- ulty and they lessened the library assignmicnts (the Freshman rejoiced!). He whisp- ered to the Junior Class and they gave us a Christmas Party (the Freshman rejoiced!). They gave a play to entertain and (pardon the tone of hunger) real Christmas food to make us happy. The Faculty — ah, the long-suffering, down-trodden Faculty ! al- ready looking forward to the February allotment of dark and sombre exams, forgot such things in the lovely gifts presented by an adoring student body, and retired amid thunderous applause ! And the Freshman was made doubly happy, for tomorro ' w she was going home ! Page one hundred forty-one I alentinc partp Question : What event is looked forward to more eagerly than the Prom ? Answer: The Valentine Party. Question : Why ? Answer: It ' s the only time the faculty look more foolish than the students. Precisely! The faculty play is a matter of nation-wide interest. The rush for seats is almost as bad as at the World Series games. At least that was the Freshman ' s impression. Her enjoyment of the evening was certainly no less sincere than at other diversions offered by her respected in- structors. Informality, joyous and effervescent, bubbled through the serious conventionality of the dinner. By the time dessert was served and Mr. Kinder and Miss Marks had made their exit on make-up bent — laughter and excitement pervaded the expectant throng. At last, the moment came — the curtain rose — and once more the frolicking Faculty forgot a number of valuable inhibitions. opj)omore Cotillion O call back yesterday, bid time return! The Freshman scrambled up the long, long steps, paused at the door, and closed her eyes. Then — she opened them! Gone 1925! Gone whirring motors! Gone clanging trolleys! Gone all the prosaic world! Even without seven league boots — she had stepped over the threshold into 1776. Wraiths of our grand-dames glided out of their picture frames and frolicked. Even ghosts of grand-dames can, you kaowV)- Courtly grandsires took the Freshman ' s hand and led her about, showing her the wonders of George Washington ' s world. Then the composite ghost of All who have gone before, stepped out of his dignity, hopped onto the stage, and, pulling back the curtain, winked most wickedly. Grandfather Time had just struggled out of the hazy veil that tradition and romancing had thrown around him. He had revolted! He showed us George Washington — not the fictitious hero but the man, not command- ing armies — but taking pills. He showed us Betsy Ross stitching away at the flag, and Lafayette sighing for the third blonde on the left. The Freshman gasped! Grand-sires are not myths; they are real people! Even they, have those little human characteristics which only Sophomores can discern. They have a sense of humor such as only Sophomores can find. 3|unior prom The Freshman sat in English D and scribbled M ' . M ' . W. over her book cover. She was trying to write an informal essay on Things but the only things she could think of were W. W. W. and the Prom. Just at that moment, in Sociology Class a Sophomore sighed as she clutched at a fraternit}- pin on her heaving jabot; and in Political Science Class, a Junior sighed as she rued the day that she had consented to a blind date for the Prom ; and in Anglo-Saxon Class, a Senior sighed as she ruminated on soft red hair and diamond rings. And the professors sighed a faint sigh. It was difficult to be pedagogical when the Prom was but twelve hours old. Bright crystal lights that flickered violet and gold and wove seductive veils about Romance itself; palms and ferns; the quiet hum of secluded corners — The Conversf: irjii — Mary ' s dress is titirliiu . ' Have you see Gloria? ly dear! That liress. ' Of all the eggs! Where did she get him. ' Ted told me that Alice was going to Page one hundred forly-tivo invite him! Do we haz ' e to go down the receiving line? Where ' s my favor? Aren ' t these card cases trick? How do you like the decorations? And the music is heavenly my dear! There are memories enough for all. So the Professor sighs, and the Senior sighs. And the Junior and Sophomore sigh. And the Freshman dreams. For it is the day after the Prom. IBctrp I all Dance The Freshman was worried and nervous, anxious for the success of the Berry Hall Dance. It was her first house dance and it just had to be a success. (When the Freshman became a Sophomore she would know that success of the dance depends on Sophomores and not on Freshmen as she fondly supposed. But how was a Freshman to know?) With — perhaps, because of — all her fussings, her buying of new dresses and wraps and shoes, the dance was a success. Berry Hall was bedecked gaily. The Freshman found, as all other little Freshmen found, that she had given away all her dances and had left for herself only the first dance (which she missed!) and one-half an extra (which did not occur!) But like all the other Freshmen, she cut six of the ten dances and so a good time was had by all. And the orchestra wailed ecstatically, Brown Eyes, Why Are You Blue? ooDIanD l all Dance If in the Spring a young man ' s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love, so the fancy of a young girl flits even as lightly to the subject of dances — and particularly of the Woodland Hall Dance. The Freshman wandered from her own dance in Berry Hall to the party across the way. This was a sort of glorified Junior-Senior dance. Here the music was more languorous — the evening more filled with delicate romance. The Juniors and Seniors had reached that stage of collegiate development where they avoid the necessity of cutting more than three or four dances, by not giving away more than three or four. The faculty members of the two classes, young and as gleeful as the class-members themselves, gave themselves up to the spirit of the dance. But Pathos lay beneath the glee, for it was spring. Graduation was near. Beyond that the world lay. The Freshman retreated to her own dance in Berry Hall and behind her a violin crooned, The Whole World Is Dreaming of Love. 9@ot)ing C3p Dap The Freshman is glad, now, that she is not a Senior, even though this is the Seniors ' day. For it is the official day of leave-taking. The Seniors pass from the chapel seats to that music beloved of college students (we almost said Collegians !). Where, oh, where are the grand old Seniors? There is a vacant block of chapel seats. A few Seniors cough ; others break violently into the second strain: Where, oh, where arei the jolly Juniors? as the Juniors, important in new caps and gowns, march to the Senior block of seats. So each class moves up and an empty block of seats is left for Freshmen to come. Recessional is sounding. The Senior now is out in the cold, cold world. No longer a student. Her chapel seat belongs now to another Senior. Thus she goes out. Her day is ended. Page one hundred forty-three Twinkl. T.-M, - Page one Iiundrrd forty-four a Dap in jTairpIanD The fire crackled in the crispness of a cold winter ' s evening. But what cared the Freshman for the cold, of winter? She was drowsy and v -arm before the fire, safe from any stray winter breeze. The fire blazed brightly. Her eyes dimmed by drowsiness and by the bright flickering, discerned dancing spirits within the flames. Dismal winter changes to jov and spring. It is a Day in Fairyland. Dawn is breaking over the woodlands. And as she flits above in robes of faint orchid. Day and her attendants descend upon Earth. Little silvery drops of Rain dance about and the Sun shines forth in glory. The Rainbow dances, and in her tinted wake comes Puck, the tiny jester. With a magic wand he awakens the flowers from their deep sleep and bids them dance to the glory of Spring. Little Brown Elves work in a far corner. The air is filled with the rat-tat-tat of their hammers. Rat-tat-tat! Rat-tat-tat 1 Lo 1 they have built a dais in the twinkling of an eye. A bugle note tinkers afar off. The mischievious elves hide behind the throne. Bugle notes re- sound, nearer and yet nearer. A gay procession moves slowly toward the throne. As the maid of honor places the crown of flowers upon Titania ' s brow, light breaks from the darkening cloud, and clothes her in golden sheen. After the rainbow court dances. Puck summons entertainment for the Queen. From the pages of a fairy book, step forth fairy folk! Snow White, appealingly ; the funny folk of the Golden Goose; and lastly, Cinderella. The fairy people retreat mto the book. They have lived their brief lives. The book is closed. The entertainment is over. Grey Evening ushers in the Sandman. The flowers sleep. Moonlight and her silver stars come, and Night — the Fairy Court, goes softly home into the Far Woodland. From the depths of the forest is heard the bugler as he leads the recessional. The Day in Fairyland is over. The embers of the dying fire glowed dimly. The room was shadowed in dark- ness. The Freshman started from her reverie. The fire blazed as before. The bugle call had been merely the crackling flame; and the May Day Pageant, A Day in Fairyland, had been enacted in the burning coals of the hearth of memory. Page one hundred forty-fi ' ve M..C C H.. OS Parir one liutithci forty-six Senior Clas0 Dap 1925 SCHOOL FOR SCANDAL The Freshman ' s room-mate laughed. I guess the Seniors always, have a terrible time selecting a play. It didn ' t take them so long to decide on ' The School for Scandal, ' though, did it? No, the Freshman answered, I guess everyone is quite pleased, too. I ' m so glad it ' s a costume play. Girls look so awful in men ' s modern clothes! And I am glad they chose a comedy. The room-mate was half-deprecatory. I hate to say that I don ' t know very much about that play but — what ,do yon know about it? Well, the Freshman visibly expanded with pride, ' The School for Scandal ' was written during Sheridan ' s prime as a playwright. Its first production on May 8, 1777, was a huge success, and its succeeding seventy-five performances were equally well received. Up to the present day it has enjoyed astonishing popularity. It has had a brilliant theatrical record, not only among the English-speaking people but also in Paris, Vienna and Bombay. ' School for Scandal ' is unquestionably Sheridan ' s best work. It has the sponta- neity of his early comedies with a deeper humor which came from his ' advanced age and experience. His characters are drawn better here than in his earlier success, ' The Rivals. ' Sheridan carries us along in his exuberance. We admit his conven- tions because we are left no time for analysis. Brander Matthews has said that Sheridan has ' the feeling for fun and an appreciation of the incongruous ' . Heavens! the Freshman ' s room-mate rolled over in a mock faint. Where did vou ever get all that? From the Pennsylvanian, the Freshman modestly replied, displaying the year- book from which she had been reading. . ' . ' Well of all the nerve! Reading that off and pretending to be a high-brow and all that. But you can ' t prejudice me! I intend to enjoy that play. The Seniors know how to put a thing across, and there are some mightly clever actresses in that class. Who is in the play, anyway. You ' ve read that much from the book — you might as well finish.

No mortal form is stirring, Only fairy folk astray. A door is slowly opened, A form darts down the hall ; Soon others quicklv follow At some unuttered call. Who can explain this mystery. When others are in bed ? ' Tis only the last stages. Of someone ' s birthday spread.

Piu c one liutiilriil fifly-it it THE ROMANCE OF RUDOLPH AND ROSAMOND In the average American magazine, romance as well as theory is relegated after the first five or six paragraphs to an incoherent meandering between that schoolgirl complexion and ' Kelly-can ' t-slip-tires. Even the most passionate of Elinor Glynn ' s novels can be thoroughly demoralized by this obnoxious practice. At the eleventh hour, with your emotions keyed to the highest pitch, such a ludicrous situation as the following is likely to be thrust upon you! Moonlight flooded the lonely gardens where a silent figure paced impatiently to and fro — allowing the skin to breath. The figure was manly — built of white pine and reinforced at the corners. Suddenly he halted — balanced on easy payments, and with a quick motion, deftly threw a red rose through the open window above — saying it with flowers. Immediately a graceful slender figure appeared — no picture can do it justice. It was Rosamond — that ' s the insidious thing about it. Rudolph, my darling! she cried tenderly in a voice recommended by boards of health everywhere. The ladder is under the rose bush. He nodded his head in assent and disappeared under the rose bush. Rosamond tiptoed to her father ' s room — recommended by generations of users. She found him sleeping — the sleep that really rests, and furtively slipping a note into his desk — which keeps contents hot for 24 hours, she left as quietly as she had entered. Rudolph, meanwhile had stood the ladder — which hasn ' t scratched yet, against the house and again stood waiting — four out of every five do it. A breeze sprang up — delicious and refreshing. Rosamond cast a lingering look about her old familiar surroundings — supplied direct from the factory. Then cau- tiously stepping over the window sill, she slowly descended the ladder — you just know she wears them. He clasped her in his arms — showing many different styles and patterns, and together they sped toward the waiting cab — five can ride as cheaply as one. The noise of the starting motor awakened Rosamond ' s father. Suspiciously he glanced about — looking for the label, and arose from his couch — low and comfortable, built for sleep. His glance fell upon the note — the mark of true distinction, and irately he rushed into his daughter ' s room, just in time to see the car pull away from the gate. He waxed furious — ask the man who owns one, and shouted — man to man, Bring back — the world ' s most perfect talking-machine. But they heard no word, as the} ' drove far — from contented cows. The wind ruffled her golden curls — so different from ordinary macaroni. The road wound irv and out and it was only — 16 miles to the Biltmore. The car stopped. It was evidently not — hitting on all 32. I ' d walk a mile for a camel, he groaned. Have you a little fairy in your home? she asked. He kissed her — a sensible habit, this new easy way, and whispered softly. Rosie, — I owe it all to you. MOON The Moon is a maiden. Cold and fair, With diamond drops In her misty hair. Oh Moon enfolded In silver mist — Would you still be so cold If you should be kissed ? — Englicode. Paije one liundrcd fifly-nine Pennsylvania College for Women Woodland Road, Pittsburgh Taken from Who ' s Who Founded in 1869 as a college of Liberal Arts. The First Catalogue states that the object of the college is to furnish an education to young women equal to that given to young men, and the degree of A.B. was granted from the beginning. Situated in the beautiful residential section of the East End known as Wood- land Road, the location combines the advantages of the city and country. Quite apart from the noise of the city they are within five minutes of the car lines. A natural amphitheatre provides a beautiful place for pageants and festivals attended by many thousands annually. Athletic grounds afford ample opportunity for all activities. College buildings number five. The dormitory life is particularly at- tractive and homelike and day students share largely in the social life of the college. A four-year course leads to the degree of A.B. The courses in Education give the teacher ' s certificate and professional certificates are given in the special depart- ments of Music, Social Service and Spoken English. Students of the college are able to take advantage of unusual opportunities in Art, and in Music which Pitts- burgh provides, while leading lecturers on many subjects are often brought to the college to the daily assemblies. The College is thoroughly Christian in spirit, but undenominational. It is the only woman ' s college of its kind in Western Penn- sylvania.

B., Margaret Ann Stuart, Dean Secretary Page one liunilrcd sixty THE INQUIRING REPORTER SEEKS AN OPINION ON THE CLASS OF ' 26 With zealous care and notebook small, I ' ve gone from place to place, I ' ve asked each person, high and low. One question sage and deep, What do you think of ' 26, Grand Seniors, one and all? Miss Coolidge, first, I interviewed, And this my plaintive call She answered thus, in chosen words: Sometimes in Chapel Hall I wonder if the Seniors grand. As in their rows they sit. Know how alike they look, that group , To me, and how unchanged Their Angel faces gaze at one Through reading, notice, hymn. I wonder if in years to come They ' ll think of chapel days. When they come back, see other girls In cap and gown arrayed. I wonder if they ' ll think of them. As I today reflect — • Why don ' t they keep their, caps on straight And not like coasting tracks? However, class of ' 26 I think they ' re best of all! Another dignitary then, I went to interview. That mighty Patriarch canine, Old Teddy famed for years — He hesitated. When I urged. In accents solemn thus he spoke: The Senior class are silly girls, With me you must agree ; Reflect ye, how they persevere To take a snap of me. As though a self-respecting dog Would wish his friends to see His picture there, mid foolish girls. And maybe labeled ' Singing Ted ' But, foolish though be ' 26, I think they ' re best of all. Miss Proctor, too, I questioned. And this was her complaint : The Senior Class just works so hard They ' re wearing out my books and chairs. The ceiling, too, some day will fall Page one hundred sixty-one When dancing steps they ' re practicing To educate the younger girls, And I lie awake at night Lest the Seniors all should fade away With so much application. But then she said of ' 26 : I think they ' re best of all. On street cars many daily ride, And Seniors grand must do it too. So then the motorman to me. Spoke of that class. Conductor, too, Agreed with him as then he quoth : Such gentle dames! They always rise To give their seats to Freshmen small, Weak, poor, defenseless in the crowd. They study, too, from morn to morn And curious language fills the air With Anglo, Math, and Lit, and Ed, And hops, and teas, and books, and men; The last named list it seems to me Are favorite subjects with that class. Oh yes, we ' re sure of ' 26 ; We ' re sure they ' re best of all. Minerva of the telephone Is sure that Seniors never stop Their work to phone or answer calls. Their conversations, always brief, Leave room for other calls. Among the classes, ' 26 She thinks is best of all. Miss Marks, when urged, to me this said: The Seniors are so wise; They ne ' er have time to call on me, And so I put up on the board White cards of invitation, That they may come, and I may say What all their teachers urge me to; ' You ' re working far too hard, my dear; ' Oh yes, that class of ' 26 I know is best of all. The Freshman class begged to be heard And this their plaintive wail ; The Seniors never let us do The work the handbook says ; They never let us give them seats, Nor answer telephones: They never let us hold the door. Nor rise when the ' come in. Yet spite of faults, still ' 26 Ve guess is best of all.

Dear Beautiful but Dumb : The best method is to tell him gently but firmly that you can be only a sister to him. My Dear Mile. B. A. Lognie: Since I was a babe in arms I have read your colym with avid interest. I have written to you again and again, and again and again — -have received rejection slips telling me that I should have written on one side of the paper only. You cannot imagine how this has helped me in solving my problems. Again I come to you, dear Mile. B. A. Lognie, to beg once more that you will help me. My problem is this: I am twenty years old and in the fourth grade at school. Am I far enough advanced ? Thanking you in advance. Excuse this long letter. So Worried. A. Dear Little So Worried : The solution of your problem is very simple. The answer is this: Of course, firemen wear red flannels. Dear Mile. B. A. Lognie: I have come to consult you on the K. Q. My B. F. has repeatedly asked to kiss me. What shall I do. I agree with you on the K. Q. Virtuous Vera. A. Dear Virtuous Vera : I am so glad that you agree with me on the K. Q. I also belong to the W. C.

Page one Inindred seventy-three YOU AUTO KNOW There was a jolly Miller once whose name was Stanley Davis. One Knight Stanley went out to speak with the Gardner. The Moon and the Stars were beam- ing with Sterling effulgence. Stanley asked the Gardner, Where is Dianaf ' Diana was his G. F. who had Auburn hair. Didn ' t you know? asked the Gardner, Diana was in an accident on Brock Way. A Kiddie Kar ran over her and she is in the hospital. Which cot? asked Stanley turning 14 ' lute. The U ' estcott, of course. Stanley ' s face set like Flint. Why didn ' t she Dodge the Kiddie Kar? It was in Oakland and there was too much traffic. Diana is a Stude at Columbia and she can ' t aiFord to miss so many classes. This is a serious Case. But she is a Peerless scholar. Yes, but I cut a week from Lafayette to attend a golf match at Mercer in Crawford County. My Caddie said 1 would be kicked out. 1 Hudson time getting out of the mess. Daniels, the Stewart, helped me get in. But I missed Anglo-Saxon classes. That ' s a Stern bunch of profs. They ' re all for sending us to our Holmes when we miss more than the Standard cuts. Don ' t tell Rollin. He ' d let Marm on to our tricks. He is a Cunning ham. What ' s the use of Franklin working Sedan hard to make this a Republic. The battle of Lexington might not have been fought and Lincoln might as well have kept on chopping wood for all the good it does us Amer- icans. I ' m going to Paige Diana and see if this is Willys Knight. If it is, Stanley Masked his teeth, I ' ll chase him Overland and sea to get rid of him. Oh Alack, by the way, I got SX on my radio last Knight. J ejie me that ' s a Reo-l radio. Chrysler was playing in Cleveland. Thanks for the news about Diana, Max. ft ell, I guess I ' ll be going along. Bye! Stanley called in his Stutz ering way. Have an accident? asked the fellow who arrived at the scene of a motor-car wreck too late to be of any help. No thanks, replied the victim, as he picked himself up. I ' ve just has one. — Answers.

Just listen, my lad, and you will sneer At that midnite spree of Paul Revere, By the old Moulmein Pagoda, looking eastward to the sea, There ' s a Burma girl a ' sitting and I know she thinks of me. The time has come, I then replied, To think of lots of things. Of cigarettes and chewing gum And Fords and wedding rings. And as he rose the mighty crowd Set up a yell forlorn, A sadder and a wiser man I rose the morrow morn. — iS. California Wampus.

AS EDITOR TO EDITOR {With several salams to Kipling) If you can make your book sale reach its quota, And not stalk Pennsylvanians in your dreams; If you can ' t budge your budget one iota. And still feel life is really what it seems; If photographs are not so satisfactory As Faculty and Students would the were; And you can pacify those girls refractory Whose photographs are surely not like her ; If you can make wise-cracks about the students. And not have them cry out with clam ' rous din ; Then you have showed amazing lot of prudence. And you ' re a better man than I am, Gunga-Dhin ! Page one Inuiilred sriunly-eiiilit J. D.

A street car slipped on an orange peel Across Long Island Sound. The sailor ' s aunts and cousins Went forward to the stern ; And church was let out early, For even a worm will turn. Across the rolling prairies The clothes were put to soak. The fireman said, Od ' s Bodkins! Oh, don ' t let Artie Choke!

Her sortie, incidentally, was a matter of fair skies. The Feudal Age sponsored a change in luggage stand- ards amounting almost to wanton luxury. Milady ' s unmen- tionables were henceforth to be poked into a sack during transport, a degree of privacy gracefully in keeping with the increased modesty of civilization. The hectic days known as the Sixty ' s, seemingly were productive of the very acme of luggage craft, the Carpet Bag. History is replete with the peregrinations of this colorful article of accoutrement, shaking as it did the found- ation stones of government. Nowadays, however, one need but visit any reputable dealer in leather goods to secure what long experience, zealous capability and high business integrity has evolved in Ladies ' Bags and Cases. There is but one point to re- member, an inquiry from the sales person who waits upon you, an inquiry which identifies you at once as the discern- ing college woman — in the know, as it were — an inquiry which is simplicity in itself: Is it Curtis Leather?

We were very cocky, but — our vanity was shaken. For when we were sad We looked too blue. And when we were glad We didn ' t seem true. Our hair was too curley, Our eyes were too small, Our faces too surly. Our figures too tall. We were very cocky, but our looks were all astray, Listen to the wise cracks Mr. Strickler had to say. Of a certain faculty member: Is he the aesthetic dancing teacher? To a certain other faculty member: I can ' t do a thing with your face. To the Juniors : To the most scholarly member of the class: Now don ' t be a dumbell. With disgust, to one of the smallest girls in the class: You look like an Irish washwoman. Hold your stomach in. To the clown of the class: Smile and let me smile, too. To our latest casualty: That ' s a beautiful fraternity pin you ' re wearing. It ought to photograph well. To the girl who didn ' t like her first proofs. What ' s the matter with them? They look like you. To a girl whose pictures flattered her: That ' s isn ' t you, is it? To several of the rest of us: You may as well come back tomorrow. We went into the studio to have our pictures taken. We were very cocky, but — our vanity was shaken. FANTASY A wrinkled old man Scarce four feet tall Went down to the sea And drank it all. Then all the birds died. The flowers blew away, The sun shriveled up And burned the day. The moon dropped her beams Pale blue to the land ; The man clambered up — Hand over hand. — Englicode. Page one hundred ninety-seiien A DIALOGUE WITH VARIATIONS What do babies think? Frantically we hail Thorndike, Woodward and Eddie Foy and put the question to them as man to man, if possible. From experience we know that babies don ' t think what we think that they think. As we fondle them, indulgently reducing our speech to words of one syllable or less, they eye us with pity not unmixed with boredom. Whereupon we drop the infant on the bed and whisper, Izzum ickle seepy-head. Izzums go to seepy-seep. Izzums immediate howls in despair. We rush to comfort the child with, There, there, muzzer ' s ickle pettie-lamb mustn ' t. No, no, no, no! Ah-h-! or words to that effect. And the baby mournfully replies, Wahhh ! I speak as a woman with experience ; that is to say, with a degree of experience. I have a niece. She is a lovely niece. I could eulogize about her indefinitely but, take heart, I shall do that some other day. Lovely as she is, however, she cannot seem to grasp my meaning on various and sundry occasions. I approach her, beamingly aunt-like. Herzums wanna go walk-walk wif Auntie Woof-woof? It appears that at the advanced age of 6 months, said niece had gurgled in the ecstacy of her glee, woof-woof and the assembled multitude of her sisters, her cousins and her aunts had shouted, Ruth! She ' s calling you! From that day forth even forevermore I am Auntie Woof-woof. But to return to my lucid inquiry. Herzums looks at me blankly and grunts, Ugh? Auntie Woof-woof take Baby-Bunting out to see pitty honk-honks and choo choos? Baby Bunting sees subtle humor in this inquiry and thereupon laughs aloud. I feel encouraged. Turn det pitty coaty-hatty on. Take walk-walk in nise, fwesh air. The unsuspecting infant looks mildly interested as she dons coaty-hatty, and makes no serious objections as I grasp her hand firmly and drag her into the nise, fwesh air. I take her to the park. Babies are always taken to parks. There we sit down on a bench. Herzums can think of more thrilling methods of spending the after- noon. She proceeds to break the news to the world. However it is prescribed that after taking babies to parks, you sit down on benches with them. I silence her — or try to. Herzums must ' nt fussy. Lambie-lamb ' mell nise, fwesh air. Ummm! (Business of inhaling deeply.) A child of three years or thereabouts, approaches curiously. She listens to me attentively, if impolitely. Mamma, she calls, Listen how funnv this ladv talks!

The story is that of an old man, of a hard and rockbound cast, and his struggle with the bugs of his ancestors. Persona Non Grata Swiss Cheese ( Swedie for short) Father Gabbie Step-mother I ...., - Brothers Edam Cheese Hero And anyone else who is worth his salt. THE REACTION Three brothers cosily gathered around a big cheese,. Edam, sighing: It isn ' t a disgrace to be poor but it ' s damned inconvenient. Look at this! He holds up finger, sore from pokiiig holes in Swiss cheese. Mike: Where ' s my Swedie hiding? Ike: He ' s out to bring home the bacon. Edam : Who wants bacon ? He ' s gone to get a bug to eat holes in the cheese. Hurrah ! We ' re all for bigger and better cheeses. Mike: Cheese doesn ' t whey much with me. E,dam hands hijn a ivallop and the family skeleton. Ain ' t it purty ? tlie broth- ers chortle, We ' re off to Oshkosh to shoot craps and Indians. Exeunt ivith great rattling of bones. Big Cheese enters, accompanied by bug, step-mother and child. Stvede: Eureka! A bug! A regular he-man, hole-eating bug! Our fortune is made. Edam and Gabbie exchange a few u ' ig-ivags meaning, See you later! Swede opens his hand. Bug kicks up his hind legs and makes for the wide-open spaces under the sycamores. Swede : Suppress it ! Suppress it ! A bug in the hand is worth two in the tree tops. Edam: Run along to the stable, old thing. Two ' s company: three ' s a crowd. Sive,de, running along: Don ' t mind me; I just work here. Edam turning to Gabbie: Ah! Hah! Me proud beauty! You are in my po- wah ! The cheesery is mine ! Gabbie, demurely : Remember the mortgage ! Enter the sheriff singing, Off to prison you must go, you must go ! Gabbie sneaks up and catches the. mortgage off guard. Gabbie, shrieking : Tear up the baby ; I have the papers ! Edam : Your money or your life ! Gabbie : Take my life ; I need my money. So she. took the $ 0,000 and threiu the bab in the river. Hey ho! The dairy-o! The cheese stands alone!
