f JJrolngur High up on the Alpine Mountains there grows a flower called the Edelweiss, “noble white.” These flowers are so prized that tourists are willing to go through untold trials in their ambition to climb high enough to gather them. As the tourists, we have tried to gather a perfect specimen of our flower, though we too have climbed through trials. If through rough gathering, therefore, its petals have been bruised, we pray you, be not critical of this, our Edelweiss. M. T. M. 5 __L T° T McNE; sen,OR CLASS OF THE PRESBVtSn h Julitt OUjarles UrNrill Was born of Scotch parents in Richmond county, North Carolina, July 27th, 1874, and died at or near his birthplace September 16th, 1907, when scarce past'his thirty-third year. With a college educa- tion based upon that acquired in the neighborhood schools, he became tutor, professor, lawyer, legislator, poet, scholar; but born in the country he died a countryman, a child of nature. No enjoyments were so great to him as those afforded by the woods, the streams, the fields; no music so sweet as that of elemental nature, which sang ever in his brain, and no day so happy as that when he threw down his pencil, pushed his work aside, and started on a visit “down home,” where the perch bite and the pines sigh. Tall, slender, lithe of figure, his face was that of the poet, his eyes dreamy or flashing, or laughing or melting with tenderness. He was the sweetest spirit I knew. He was the only man 1 ever knew as he was to me, of whom it can be said in truth that I never heard him speak an unkind word of any person, living or dead. He was the incarnation of good humor. There was never such uniformity of temper never merry beyond the point of dignity, nor angry, nor morose. The simplest things interested him as they do a child; the beautiful, the good, fascinated him; the great led his intellect captive. He was as modest as he was sweet-spirited. He never knew his powers; nor knew, nor could have been per- suaded, that he was the sweetest singer the State has had; yet Burns never sang with more exactness the song of the soil, nor any one portrayed so truly the characteristics nor spoke so faithfully the dialect of that peculiar people who give the South its master problem. He died before his time, and his dying hurt many hearts, for he commanded the affection of all who came within the sphere of his influence. He was the sweetest spirit I ever knew. J. P. Caldwell.

Chorus -Here’s to the class of 1908, The dear old rose and grey, We hope to carry all honors off When we leave here in May. We’ll take our hoops, and in cap and gown, We’ll gaily roll them up and down, And when with this day’s work we are past, We’ll meet no more as a Senior class. (Chorus).

Mary Owen, ’08. rutnr (Ulasa Jtonu For many a year we’ve journeyed up the heights That lead to knowledge, and, perhaps, to fame; We’ve worried, toiled, and oft lost sleep of nights Upon the Honor Roll to get our name. The way has oft seemed hard, and sometimes, too, The game not worth the candle, to our weary eyes; The mists of indolence obscured the view, And caused us to forget the far-off prize. But still we’ve struggled on, through thick and thin, Though hearts of ours are sometimes aching heavily; In spite of Ethics flunks occurring now and then, We’ve always plodded on steadily. And now the end, long looked for, heaves in sight (The longest day has always a tomorrow) Commencement soon will shine out from the night, We’ll reap the good of all our toil and sorrow. So when at last we leave this college dear, We’ll go with conscience free from care, Our years of work and hardship have not been in vain, We’ve done our best what more to do is there? 27 Mary Owen, ’08 Janitor Gil ass Jlropljnrij The fire burned low. There was no light in the room save the soft warm glow of twilight- and I was dreaming, dreaming. It was the faces of the Seniors, my classmates, that I saw in the coals that night; because the reali- zation that I must part from them soon was upon me, and I was longing for a glimpse into the future of us all; and hoping that our lives might not be like ‘‘Ships that Pass in the Night.” But, suddenly, my dreams were interrupted, for the door swung open softly, and (she whom the girls call “The-Lady-on-Top-the-College”) the tall white lady from on top the college glided in. “I know that thou art in a dreaming mood to-night, and thy heart being young, it has no fear, so I shall give thee a glimpse into the future of thy class, 0, little daughter of mine, because I see that it is for that that thou art longing. See’st thou that bunch of acorns, perfect acorns made out of coals? And if thou wilt get them, I will read the future of thy class for thee; for in each acorn there is the prophecy of some member of thy class. But thou must get them with thy fingers. ” 1 looked at her wonderingly. She was beautiful standing there in the twilight. She was beautiful, and her beauty fascinated me. Without knowing, without caring, I dived into the coals with my fingers and, lo, they were not burned! This was indeed a most wonderful night! I broke off an acorn and handed it to her. She opened it and read : “Maude Wilkins, from her exquisite sense of humor, shall marry a humorist, made after the style of Ralph Bingham, and shall traverse the country with him, growing fat from laughing at his jokes.” Opening another acorn she read: “Lillie Rozzelle, after leaving college, shall go to New York to visit her brother for a while. A New Yorker shall become infatuated with this sweet-voiced, soft-eyed Southern maid and—well, Lillie shall decide to stay in New York!” Again, she read: “Louise Davis, the Bird, shall earnestly endeavor to fly away as a missionary, but, 28 failing in this, she shall be content to ‘bide at home,’ and too, she shall be content with the same name forever!” The lady frowned a little when she opened the next acorn. “I am not sure that this is befitting the Presbyterian College” she said. “Cornie Fore shall become a famous lecturer, known all over the world, and her subject shall be ‘Higher Education for Women.’ ” Again: “Ethel Patrick shall go on and advance the art she studied at school, strangely, for she shall become an architect. She shall become most famous, so that to all other styles of architecture shall be added the ‘Patrick,’ and people shall vie with each other in trying to own the most perfect Patrick house.” A soft, sweet sort of a smile came over the lady’s face when she opened the next acorn, and she read: “Janie Knox shall reach the height of her ambition as a trained nurse; but after a while she shall decide that being a trained nurse is not the height of her ambition, but to become a doctor is, so she shall become a doctor’s wife, which is all the same the two being one!” Again: “Ethel Todd and Esther Shannonhouse shall go together to the North Pole to teach the Eskimos music. Many of the Eskimos shall be frozen from holding their mouths open so long in wonder at the sound of soul inspiring music coming from the depths of those snow huts.” The next time she read: “Macie McGinn shall be one of these new and stylish creations called ‘Bachelor Maids.’ The place of the proverbial cat shall be taken by a Teddy bear!” “Zaraida Bailes’ great love for Philosophy shall increase as the years go by and she shall have the chair of Philosophy in some college. The philosophical theories of ‘Bailes” shall go down the ages like those of Aristotle and Kant.” “Agnes Martin, being much interested in the poor and their temptations, shall make it her aim in life to alleviate their sufferings and here’s to her success!” The Lady’s face was very sad when she opened the next acorn, and when she showed me the picture of a monument on the paper I knew the reasen why. 0, my heart! “I will read you what is written on this monument,” the Lady said: “TO THE MEMORY OF MAFY OWEN Died June the Twenty-ninth Nineteen hundred and eight AGED TWENTY YEARS _ g ’Tis sad to think that one so young must die; Yet die one must if one be broken-hearted. We mourn her loss, but we knew that so ’twould be When from Miss Tyler she must needs be parted.’’ A silence—in which I mourned—and then “Lucy Harris shall go as a missionary to Korea. She shall be a most successful missionary and shall be deeply, wonderfully loved by—everybody.” The next time she read: “Flossie Jones shall decide that to complete her education she must study dentistry; and after a while there shall be two little offices opening into each other, and one sign hung out reading, Dr. and Mrs. Dr.----------Dentists.” “Mary Gordon Greenlee shall go to Boston to study Physical Culture, and shall become so very expert that she shall be employed by the president of the United States for awhile. After a time, she shall stop teaching gymnastics, though she shall never change her name. ” The next time the Lady just showed me a flaring poster on which was written in gorgeous letters: “Coming Soon! Famous Prima Donna Cranford! She comes direct from Paris where she has just finished an unusually brilliant season. She is held in high esteem by the royalty of both England and France.” “You know what that means” said the Lady, and I did. ‘ ‘Melva Carr shall always be practical, with good strong sense. She shall marry a country minister and shall mend his clothes and help him along like a good little “frau” during the week and make use of her music by playing the organ for him on Sunday.” Then the Lady unfolded a picture and showed it to me. I saw a woman with a most beautiful and ( N 30 holy expression on her face. She seemed to be telling a story to a crowd of half-clothed little black savages sitting around her on the ground. “Mary Parker? A missionary to Africa?” I asked, and the Lady nodded her head. “Jessie Dobbins shall go to the mountain and teach a mission school. Her influence for good shall be wonderful, and all the people shall love her, especially one widower with sixteen children. After a while Jessie shall decide to stay in the mountains always!” “Susie McMurray shall marry a minister and her life shall be happy, happy. Unlike most minister’s wives she shall not be criticised by the congregation. ” This time the Lady read: “Elizabeth Pilson shall be the lady principal of a girl’s boarding school. She shall be most successful as lady principal and she shall be greatly loved; but the girls will know that unless they see that sad light in her eyes, it will be useless to ask anything then. ‘Because’ they will say. like Mrs. Gummidge, she is ‘thinkin’ about the old un.’” “Now, yours,” said the Lady and she gave me a compassionate smile, “I am sorry, 0, little daughter of mine, but you are doomed to be an old maid, and the most of your years shall be spent as a matron in an orphan asylum.” “Now, good bye,” she said and was gone, and I was left alone in the soft, warm glow of the twilight, dreaming, dreaming still.

(Ela of 1008 State of North Carolina, Mecklenburg County, City of Charlotte, Presbyterian College for Women, May 12, 1908: We, the class of ’08, of aforesaid State, County and College, having risen from the lowly state of Freshmanhood to the dizzy heights of Seniority; having survived the peculiarities of some of the faculty; having spotted Jim on Psych; having twisted our brains endeavoring to spot “Mary Louise” in English; having filled our required places in chapel; having faced the ordeal of star-gazing from the roof of the College, and if it be possible after such trying ordeals, we are of sound mind. Therefore, considering the fact that the above-mentioned labors have really placed a diploma in our hands, and, whereas, this diploma is about to usher us into an unknown world, we do hereby make and declare this our last will and testament. First: Our executrix, Lily W. Long, shall give our memory a famous resting place ’neath those col- lege walls, and shall have engraved on the monument of time, “gone, but not forgotten.” Second: We do bequeath our incidental fee, our infirmary fee (for the Seniors did not have time to get sick) to pay the expenses of the aforesaid funeral of our memory. Third: We do also bequeath and devise a sufficient sum of money with which to build a large room in which all scales, arpeggios, etc., are to be played, since we realize that such performances are detri- mental to the nerves of unfortunate listeners. Fourth: We do leave and beqeath ten thousand Octagon soap wrappers given us by Mrs. Metzer with which to obtain a small candle-stick for Miss Gordon, some Napoleon chandeliers for the auditorium, photograph albums with which to amuse the suitors who are kept waiting in the parlor, and a music-box which will play at any hour of the night for the benefit of those who sing in their sleep. 34 Fifth: The capital G’s with which Mary Gordon Greenlee's name is so liberally supplied we bequeath as a special favor to Isabel Grove Grey. Sixth: In addition we bequeath a sum of money to have imported for the class of 1910 a genuine Mexican pecan tree —one which can stand our climate. Seventh: Our collection of virtues, dignity, seriousness, etc., we leave and bequeath to Miss Johnsie Lore to be given her on her twenty-first birthday. Eighth: One of the members who has an unusual love for Math, has consented to transfer the same to Miss Pearl Smith, since this is all she lacks of being a genius. i Ninth: The precious gems we have obtained from digging at Logic we bequeath to the college museum. For recommendations as to purity apply to J. R. Bridges, D. D. Tenth: The sweaters of the class basket ball team we leave and will to the quick-dressing club to be used in case “haste makes waste.” Eleventh: The hair which was pulled out during the scuffle between Juniors and Sophs, and after- wards found by us, we do solemnly bequeath to Miss Beatrice Blake to be made into puffs. Twelfth: The memories of the touching love scenes enacted between “Dandy Andy” and his wee, winsome wifie, we do solemnly bequeath to all those contemplating matrimony. Thirteenth: The mines of melody which we strove to unearth by digging at Bach we leave to be discovered by the class of '09. Fourteenth: Our History themes we bequeath to our sister, the Junior class, save those on which Miss Tyler has written a speech. These last named we have reserved for our worthy classmate, Mary Briscoe Owen, to be buried with her memory. 35 Fifteenth: Our hearts which were lost at the reception, we wish gathered together and presented with our compliments to the North Carolina Medical College. Sixteenth: In witness whereof, this will has been drawn by me with the full consent of the class of 1908. Susie McMurray. I - i Seventeenth: In witness whereof, we, the said class of 1908, do hereby set our hands this, the twelfth day of May, 1908.

Let him who would know read, yea, let him read in former books, for all is recorded there. 2. There is the story of the journey and all that happened in the way; two years had the journey lasted but these two years have passed away - passed like a tale that is told. 3. But the third year of the journey of the pilgrims to knowledge whose number is nineteen hundred and nine, this third year has been the greatest. 4. Now on the fifth day of the ninth month very early in the morning there were gathered together a goodly number of souls ready to take up their journey again. 5. And they hoped very much to come before long to the end of the way. 6. And lo! the governor told them that if they passed on their way as befitted their new name (for behold their name had been changed and they called themselves Juniors) that in one more year this journey would come to an end. 7. Accordingly they gathered their robes about them and took their staves in their hands. 8. And they chose as their leader one Katharine Cramer and for her helpers they chose in this wise: 9. For substitute leader, one Mildred Stephenson; for scribe, one Isabel Grey; for keepers of the book, Annie Lee Alexander and Kate Watt; for poet, one Alice Gordon, and for recorder, one Elizabeth Chambers. 10. Yea, these are the leaders, even as they were chosen. Selah. 11. Now in the time of the eleventh month, that is to say in the month November, as they went on their way they came to the enemy’s sign. 12. And behold this sign was a tree. So they gathered their strength together and pulled up the tree and threw it far away. 13. And the enemy was very wroth because their sign was gone, so after a time it was found and planted back at the request of the governor. And peace reigned throughout the land. 14. And then soon they came to the place of Christmas where they abided many days, and found rest, and the rest was grateful unto them, 15. For hard had they worked on the way and had overcome many dragons. And the chiefest of these was a dragon whose name was Psychology. 16. But there were other dragons, some of them fiery and very fierce - English III, French III and History III and all these were in turn overcome. 17. And then their leader gave up her position and accordingly the substitute leader became the leader and they chose one Vivian Neeley, well known in all the land because of her great height, to take the place of the substitute. 18. And now they are passing through the desert and there will be no more rest for many days. 19. But they hope with all their hearts that the: • work may be such that they deserve their next rest and that they may be accounted worthy to become Seniors. 39 Jiutuu GJlasfi Jlimn When we were freshmen, happy and bright, We studied our lessons with all of our might, Y , ' For then by us all it was prudently seen, That our lessons were such as would gladden the Dean, So daily we pressed toward the far distant goal, That alluring, yet difficult, honor roll, Little impressed with the thought benign, That we were the class of 1909. As Sophomores, we were all athletes, With tennis and ball our especial feats. Our players in ball we did esteem Worthy to play on our ’Varsity team, For though it is true they were once defeated, Their invincible courage was never impeded, And before many months P. C. shall see The naughty-nine team lead to victory. Now, we are Juniors, a class of thirty-five, With Psychology and Ethics into which we must dive, But with all our studies we manage to see That the Sophomores plant not their maple tree. Then after achievements so doughty and brave We hope to be Seniors weighty and grave, ; f And stand up for P. C. an unbroken line, Our own loyal class, the Class of ’09. A. B. G.

Sea! yon where thou dashest up thy spray, Against those rocks so sullen and so still; It seems thy heart would never have its fill Of chafing ’gainst that power which dares to stay Thy imperious will o’er all that man doth sway. But while our life doth pass, thy mighty will Doth urge and ever keep thee struggling till Even those iron rocks to thee give way: Oh, mighty ocean! Glorious in thy might! Thou with fresh power my crushed heart doth fill— Thou give’st me courage for the earthly fight By thy example of unbending will; And may I win by keeping it in sight, Life’s battle, and be the conqueror still.

And during his reign there resided at Pee-Cee a beautiful and virtuous maiden, the lady Sophia More, and her mother, the accomplished Lady Em-El-Porter. As it came to pass upon a certain day the Lady Sophia presented herself at the palace, and implored that she be allowed to plant a tree in the royal garden. Her request was granted, and accordingly on the first day of the eleventh month, soon after the hour of evening prayer, she and her mother repaired to a distant corner of the garden, and there with great form and ceremony planted a symmetrical and flourishing young tree. Then they returned to the harem where they feasted with much rejoicing until far into the night. And while they were still at the banquet table the Lady Senior their beloved friend—entered bringing them the unwelcome tidings that the Lady Junior the rival of Lady Sophia—had stolen into the garden and uprooted the newly planted tree. A great conflict arose between the followers of both ladies. For a time war seemed to threaten, but the leaders of either side agreed together, and peace was preserved. i After a few days had elapsed, the Lady Sophia, just as the bell was tolling the hour of mornin prayer, and all good musselmen were turning their steps toward the temple, hastened into the garde and again planted a young maple. When the Lady Junior had learned that the Lady Sophia had placed a second tree in the palace gar den her face became white with rage. As soon as she was able to find an opportunity for so doing, sh rushed into the pleasure grounds and destroyed the Lady Sophia’s tree. As soon as this matter was made known to her she rallied her forces around her and prepared foi fighting. The lady Junior was not less well equipped for the conflict. War seemed inevitable. Now Caliph Jah-Are-Bridges was a lover of peace, and accordingly he summoned before him separ 4f ately each of the noble ladies, and after hearing- the cause of both enjoined them to consider their coun- try and refrain from fighting. “Commander of the Faithful,” said the Lady Sophia, at last, “inasmuch as it seemeth fitting, 1 shall do even as thou adviseth, since thou hast said that mine enemy will seek to become reconciled with me.” Therefore, by sundry concessions on either side, the affair was brought to an end. The Lady Junior, with all due respect, replaced the Lady Sophia’s tree. And moreover, she did this in the sight of the assembled inhabitants of Pee-Cee. And she was brave in so doing. Now, it seemed a fitting thing that the Lady Sophia should give a banquet to her friend, the Lady Senior, and to bid to it likewise the Vizier and her own mother. And the Lady Sophia deemed it a great honor that the Vizier appeared in person. The feast was celebrated with much merriment and every guest seemed well pleased. On the following morning when the Lady Sophia looked from her casement into the palace garden, behold the tree was gone! And no man knoweth to this day by whom it was taken. But the Lady Sophia believeth that a kind genius removed it, for after a few moons it re-appeared, and lo! it had waxed exceeding tall, even as a tree of four years’ growth. 47 ( Mjo? i Who holds receptions after school? “Frances Jean.” Who makes us all learn every rule? “Frances Jean.” V II Who in old Caesar sees such beauty? “Frances Jean.” Who teaches us to do our duty, “Frances Jean.” IV Who lectures us for every sin? “Katie dear.” Who stands by us through thick and thin? “Katie dear.” V Who says all Freshman themes are sad? “Mary Louise.” Who tells us “That’s not so bad”? “Mary Louise.” Ill Who makes us all work with a vim? “Katie dear.” Who makes us keep our desks in trim? “Katie dear.” VI Who thinks all Sophomores rather clever? “Mary Louise.” Who is sweet and gracious ever? “Mary Louise.” B.

C. On the fitfh day of the month Earle Brunson, their captain, led them on board an airship, which was to take them to the desired place. They sailed upward for almost two months with only a gradual change from hard work to harder. But finally in the first part of the month of November, they came to a planet on which there were a num- ber of cities called tests. These, they were told, must be conquered. When they saw that it was a case of necessity, they went to the cities, and, by using all their strength, broke down the heavily bolted gates. This task accomplished, they were sailing on, much encouraged by their victory, when one night one of their number thought she heard dreadful threats coming out of the darkness. She listened until they ceased, and then went to gather her class-mates together. When all were assembled, she told them, in awed tones, that some voice out of the night had threatened to black them. These voices called them- selves Sophomores. Much excitement was created by this appalling news, and all were at a loss to know what to do. But finally they fled to their older and wiser sisters, the Juniors, who nobly protected them. This awful ordeal avoided, they sailed onward to a star called Thanksgiving, where there was great rejoicing. Not many weeks later they came to a world called Christmas, and there they found the city Pleasure, whose gates were not bolted. A very short time after they left the city Pleasure they came to another planet where they again found a number of cities to conquer. And their gates were not only bolted, but barred, for they were called exams. But with a great effort they overcame them. Then they continued their journey, determined to conquer all things that lay in their way. 51 SUB-FRESH CLASS ijlrr shiftman CUnlhuu' Jf amity REV. J. R. BRIDGES MISS MARY D.

Ha!” “Susie, maybe you can give us some of your impressions of Bach from Parry’s Lives of Composers.” “What impressed me most about him was that while he composed music with his hands, he performed the same either with his elbows or toes, whichever were most convenient.” ‘ ‘Correct. ’ ’ Melva, give a brief sketch of Chopin’s life and works.” “He danced and played cards, and was the walking fashion book of all Paris. His most celebrated work is ‘The Moon-Light Waltz.’ ” “Good, Melva; get up the most important facts about these celebrities.” “Maude, what about Liszt?” “Well, one thing about him, and a mighty big thing, was that he promised four women to marry each of them in case her husband should be killed in bat- tle. On learning that three of them had actually been slain he skipped the country, expressing in action, if not in words, ‘He who fights and runs away, will live to fight another day.” “Fine, Maude, I am glad you are studying this so deeply.” “Mr. Anderson,” asks Lily, in distress, “isn’t it a pity that Beethoven didn’t live in the romantic period. His life was so sad; if lie could have added a little romance to it he would have been so much happier. But, alas! he did not live in this grand period! ‘Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: It might have been.’ ” “That was a good question, Lilly; it shows thought.” “Well, I believe you girls have enough material for your essays, but let me give you some advice about writing 55 them. I don’t want any poetry or ‘hotair’—just cold, hard facts. So if any of you become suddenly or accidentally poetic because spring has come, don’t write your essays ‘while genius is burning.’ Wait for a more matter of fact time.” About this time Mrs. A----puts her head in the door, ‘‘Are you most through?” “Just one moment, dear. Girls, you are excused.” Susie McMurray. ©hr Jflantlty at a IGi'a t ffrar JJartii There were none of the guests invited to the Leap Year party, given in honor of the Faculty of the Presbyterian College, who looked more attractive than the faculty themselves, for they were attired in delicate shades of silk, the ordinarily smooth hair was wonderfully arranged with puffs, curls and braids, and each lady carried an imposing bouquet in order to secure more perfectly the conquest of the possible partners. When the dancing began, our faculty joined in heartily, especially in the Virginia reel, which they danced most gracefully. It was not long, however, before many of our faculty strolled out into the moonlit lawn leaving the others to enjoy the dancing within. Later in the evening, Miss Long and the hostess, while walking quietly along a secluded path, suddenly chanced upon Miss Gordon in company with a dark, handsome youth, and both were so interested in each other that they did not notice her approach. Startled by the words that met her ears, the Dean stood speechless; for Miss Gordon was saying, “I have tried to do my duty at all times and by all people, so I think it is only fair that you should know how I love you. It is my desire to have you love me as you love no other woman.” To this demand he awkwardly replied, “I think a Leap Year party is a lot of fun, and if I were only a little older and more settled I might-” Here Miss Long recovered from her dismay, seized Miss Gordon by the arm, and insisted on her joining them in their walk. There was another surprise in store for Miss Long, for hardly was this over when Miss Schmidt, all out of breath came running up, and exitedly told her that the reputation of the college was ruined forever. It seemed that she had accidentally come upon Miss Kibbe, and was filled with consternation to find her holding tightly by both hands a good- looking man about fifty years old. Poor, innocent Miss Schmidt had begged her to leave him, and when she found that her pleadings were all in vain had, as a last resort, come to Miss Long. They immediately started in search of the sinner, but Miss Kibbe was nowhere to be;found. Miss Long now decided that as the others had made no move to start she had better remind them; so sending Miss Schmidt in one direction she started in another. It did not take them long to find Miss Tyler and Miss Armstrong, as they were both out hunting for partners—Miss Tyler, in her usual manner, walking majestically up and down the lawn, and Miss Armstrong flitting about from one couple to another, never giving up hope, even though she was repeatedly sent away. In a remote part of the yard Cupid was reigning supreme over another member of the faculty, Miss Grey. She had 57 at last yielded to the impulse of her heart, and in a matter of fact way she said to Mr. A. : “I have been teaching at the Presbyterian College for twenty odd years, and I see no reason why I wouldn’t make you a capable wife, but if necessary I can get a good recommendation from Dr. Bridges.” Mr. A. very seriously answered, ‘‘I hardly think it is possible, but I will for your sake at least consider the matter.” Here they were interrupted by Miss Critchett and Miss Egglestone, who, passing by, told her it was time to go. Miss Grey, however, would not depart until Mr. A. had promised to phone her his answer that night. Just as Miss Long was leaving, she received the following telegram: “Found on train 36, Miss Porter and Mr. Genung.” She immediately sent this reply: “Put her off at next station and send back to P. C.” It was then that Miss Tyler and Miss Critchett very much distressed came up to Miss Long and asked her if they might accompany her back to the college, as their partners were nowhere to be found. As these three passed out of the gate, Miss Wade, laughing through happy tears, called “Good-bye” to Miss Long, adding, that she could never part with her coveted treasure. Miss Long, seeing her perfect happiness, hadn’t the heart to urge her to continue her duties at P. C. When they reached the college, our Dean, much to her relief, found the other members of the faculty had all arrived. They soon scattered to their rooms, there to dream of their past lovers. The next morning our faculty, with the exception of the one who had left us forever, Miss Wade, arose to the duties of old P. C. wiser women, perhaps, but certainly sadder. Lore and McMullen. “Some of the most peculiar receptions I ever attend,” said a wise old mouse, as he perched himself on a Virgil’s ■®neid in Miss Gordon’s class room, “are held in a certain room in this Presbyterian College for Women. When the clock strikes five-thirty, I see from my hole in the wall, creatures coming with lagging steps and frowning faces—girls of all sorts who, one and all, carry books and pencils that are used by way of entertainment, I think. When all have assem- bled at the reception, the hostess proceeds to ask conundrums which, I presume, she thinks wiil amuse the girls and perchance make them laugh. Instead, however they take everything very seriously and wander off into strange lan- guages, and jabber incomprehensible things about ‘conjugations,’ ‘ablative absolutes’ and other equally queer things. I perceive that there is an ingenious display of guess-work connected with this programme. But, to my disgust, the hos- tess never serves any material refreshments such as I like at receptions; perhaps, however, her guests, being polite, would say the refreshments consisted of sips of intellectuality, tea-crackers of condensed knowledge, and pickles of sage advice, served daintily with Chille(y) sauce of passive calmness and garnished with evergreen sprigs of conscientious devo----’’—but the account of the reception was never finished, for the door suddenly opened, and the wise old mouse sought safe quarters by way of a hole in the corner. 59 ®h? Seans Sreant 0 hearken, all ye gentle maids That in old P. C. dwell Unto the wondrous dream that late Unto the Dean befell. The Dean departed from her chair, Out from the banquet hall, And she was ’ware of maidens there Leaning against the wall. And thro’ the throng she scarce could pass Upon her outward way, And when at last she gained her bower, Cried she: “Oh, weary day!’’ “The lazy maids, the careless maids! The wayward and perverse! They will not heed my counsels wise— My lot could scarce be worse!” And as she sighed full bitterly, Sudden she fell asleep, And as she slept this joyous dream Did o’er her spirit creep. And ever since she doth bewail Such dreams do ne’er come true, (But yet, methinks, my gentle maids, That lies with me and you.) It seems there rang a tuneful bell At half-past seven and soon When that she oped her chamber door, Ah, me! She did nigh swoon. 60 For maidens merrily sped down, All neatly in a row— None paced as they were in a trance— None stopped to tie a bow. And when they left the banquet room, None leaned against the wall, But each unto her duty went, All vacant was the hall. And when into the chapel, The Southern maids did come, No mad din rose upon the air, Their gentle lips were dumb. When that the Dean beheld these sights, She cried with greatest joy— “All, all are fled, those maids of old, Who wrought me much annoy!” “Gone is the grumbler, gone the shirk. And gone the careless, too; My days shall be one round of bliss I have no work to do. ’ ’ With that she woke and shook her head. And since doth loud bewail, The passing of that wondrous dream, And here doth end my tale. C. B.

Initiation evening saw a goodly company of new members gathered expectantly. It is enough to say that their wildest dreams did not remain unsatisfied, and but just to add that they bore with fortitude what was meted out to them. The regular meetings began from this time on, with attention fixed upon such topics as “Famous Singers of Today,’’ ‘'Modern Artists,” “American Scientists,” and others equally up-to-date. When, amid the whirl of college work, it was felt that a brief respite would be grateful, the work was wisely alter- nated with play. There was a jolly little affair at Christmas, with a picturebook tree, when all the noise that tin horns could produce was called into requisition to express the spirit of the season. Later on, the Society was so fortunate as to secure Miss Julia Alexander for a charming talk on Italy. The Annual goes to press too early to contain all the social surprises in store for the Pierians. Not content with all this exercise of energy the society decided to have a spring house-cleaning which wrought many changes in the walls and floors of the hall. And so, though we have missed the active help of the progressive members who left us with last year’s Senior class, and though one of our most valued honorary members, Mr. John Charles McNeill, was taken from us this year, the record shows an undeviating forward movement. The Pierians, then, bid P. C. their annual farewell, looking forward with morning faces to next year, resolved to make the society of the future better than ever before, and more worthy the society flower—the daisy, with its heart of gold. 6d President v ice-President Alexander, Lillian Boyd, Jessie Carmichael, Fanny Cornelius, Flora Council, Pearl Bobbins, Jessie Dockery, Bessie Doggett, Lucile Doggett, Sara Efird, Laura Gordon, Alice Grey, Isabel Grier, Anna Burvvell (gamma digma tGitrranj dnrirtu Louvenia Lander Secretary . . .

The most noticeable feature of the improvement is the arrangement of the club-room. The Hall is now furnished with a carpet, rugs, rocking-chairs, a couch, and sofa pillows. On the walls are innumeiable pen- nants and pictures. One of the latest additions in pictures is a copy of “The Three Fates,” brought from Europe by Mrs. Martin D. Hardin who, before leaving Charlotte for Chicago, presented it to the Society with a loving message of cheer and good will. Books and magazines have been given the society, and these are a constant source of intellectual pleasure to the members. The hall is now so cozy and inviting that it is considered a haven of peace and comfort by the Gammas, some of whom may be seen, any recreation hour, reading and resting or simply taking life easy. The credit for this delightful metamorphosis is due to the energy and enterprise of our president, since but for her the plan would have been a failure. The Society has been benefited both socially and intellectually by receptions and lectures that were given under Gamma Sigma auspices. A reception to the new girls and to the sister Society at the beginning of the term is still pleasantly remembered by all. This year has been very successful as far as new members are concerned; a large number traveled the thorny path of initiation into the sisterhood of the Gammas. Two new honorary members have been won from the faculty, besides several from the ranks of the outside world, and of these the Society is justly proud. The Seniors of the Gamma Sigma Society are trying to follow in the footsteps of their predecessors, and fill as high a place on the roll of scholarships as did those who went before, and when they leave college it will be with hearts full of love and loyalty to the Society, and a full determination to live up to the high ideals held by all true lovers of the Purple and White. v S.

For my music lesson I have to play Bach And that is just fearfully dry, So tell Mr. Anderson, girlie, my love, I’ll be seeing him bye and bye. I ought to go to my lessons, I know, But my head is all in a whirl And such a long day of work and no play Will make me a dull, stupid girl. S. traka Mistress Betty calls me her little “Father Confessor;” what she means by that I don’t know, but I hope it isn’t any thing very bad—is it? Anyway, she’s always telling me these things, and if hearing secrets is a “father confessor’s’ work, I’m glad I’m in the business. The greatest secret of all is how she treated the poor Creature. I’ll bet you don’t know who the Creature is, do you Well, he is a big, tall giant,—a very handsome Creature, who plays foot-ball and drives motor-cars. And Mistress Bett} used to be very fond of him, and for awhile she wore a “sparkly” ring he gave her; but one day the ring was gone an afterwards my mistress held her little head high in the air when she chanced upon the Creature. It all came right, though, because Mistress Betty would go out in the motor in spite of the damp, unsunshiny day Her mother fussed and fussed, but Mistress Betty insisted, in her own reckless way, on going. So she snatched m up off the lounge where I was tranquilly enthroned on sofa-pillows, and bore me out to the terrors of her own wil( motoring. She wouldn’t take the stately chauffeur, for, she confided to me, he was entirely “too poky.’.’ So away we went,—Mistress Betty and her little Teddy on a rollicking lark. By the time I had regained my usu2 cheerful temper, and had forgiven her for so rudely kidnapping me from my peaceful slumber, Mistress Betty was s crabbed and snappish that I hardly recognised her as my usual sweet comrade. She wouldn’t even notice me, crouche1 ' quite neglected at her side, —but she drove on regardless of speed rates and protesting cops. Soon we had left the city far behind; and were in the open country, scattering inquiring chickens and squeakin pigs. But still faster and faster we whizzed along,—so fast indeed that it made me dizzy just to watch Mistress Betty’ veil float out behind, and her goggles cling so shakily to her little tip-tilted nose. And there I sat in mortal terror o . coming to an untimely end! Just as I wa’ praying hard that I might not be torn limb from limb, I found myself quietl ensconced in a neat little mud-puddle, with Mistress Betty and the auto recklessly vanishing from sight. It was ver embarrassing—this sudden descent from the air to earth, and I could only lie there calmly, awaiting a rescuer. At las it came in the shape of no other person than—the unlucky Creature! You can imagine my joy when he picked me u and cried in astonishment, “Why, hello Teddy! And did she run away from you too?” As I deigned no answer, ’’ held me there in his big hands, ruefully surveying me, and wondering, no doubt, where she had run to. But this didn help matters any, so he slowly climbed into his huge Panhard, awkwardly dumped me endwise on the seat, and w puffed away. After a few miles of this humiliating journey, we saw Mistress Betty’s own red car, bravely making i way back toward the momentous little mud-puddle where I had so lately lain. When the creature saw her his eyes be- gan to shine, and he whispered under his breath, “Dear little Betty!” But she didn’t look so very dear as the two cars stopped and both chauffeurs got out. The Creature seized me rudely by the left leg, head suspended perilously down- wards, and made for Mistress Betty. She coldly eyed his tall form, as he approached, radiant and determined, but when she caught sight of me, dangled in mid-air, she cried reproachfully, “Dear little Teddy mine! And did you get a bump?” And I found myself hugged tight to her heart as she softly kissed my muddied paws. The Creature looked on, feeling very much left out in the cold I’m sure, and growing red at my look of triumphant disdain—(is that right?) Finally, he took a step toward us and said pleadingly, “Betty!” She raised her shiny brown eyes and looked into the blue ones so hurt and anxious. I don’t know what else she saw there, but the next thing I knew I was again sprawled in that horrid little mud-puddle,—unnoticed—and Mistress Betty was in the Creature’s arms. What happened then? Well, I really don’t know; for I considerately looked up at the sky; but I did hear her murmur something like “Forgive!” Then, to resist the temptation of looking, I firmly closed my eyes, and that’s all.

I had always, until the past few months, led a very peaceful existence, my occupants very seldom molesting me. Seldom in my life had I been swept and as for dusting and other such atrocities (!) I had never heard of them until two short months ago! I was always warm and comfortable, snugly covered by something over a half-inch of dust and with different articles of wearing apparel scattered invitingly about. Everything was bright and cheerful and I was always filled with charming young persons who ate peanuts and apples, generously bestowing the hulls and cores upon my floor. I think now of how happy I was then, for, alas! everything is sadly changed. It all happened about the ninth of January, I can’t remember the exact date, but it was about the end of the sec- ond quarter—I noticed one day that the two young ladies who usually spent the night and about five minutes of the day within my confines, seemed unusually sad. Indeed, I am sure that I saw them crying over two letters, and heard them say something about “Mother,” and “Seventy on neatness!” This was all Greek tome, however; I had never even heard the word “neatness” before, so I thought no more about the matter that day. Early the next morning, though, I was awakened before day-light by a terrific din, and in a moment realized that an alarm-clock was going off in my very midst. Heretofore, I had heard nothing before prep., when my young mistresses jumped frantically from their beds and proceeded to extract their garments from the rubbish lying around. I was won- dering, then, what smart person was trying to play a practical joke on us, and was preparing to return to my slumbers, when suddenly the girls slowly and sleepily got up, turned on the light, and unearthing two brooms from dear knows where, actually began using them on my floor! Imagine my surprise, if you can! I was simply astounded, and feared they had lost their minds during the night. They seemed perfectly sane, however, though very sad and silent, and after the sweeping operation was finished, proceeded to dust! actually dust! the bureau. They even went so far as to arrange a few of the articles scattered around. At last prep, mercifully rang, and I was granted a brief respite while the young ladies made a hasty toilet and adjourned to the dining room. My troubles had only begun, however, for after breakfast operations were continued. Everything was collected and piled into drawers and closets, the beds were made up as never before, and when at last walk-bell rang, I can hardly 81 picture to you my pitiful condition. I was cold, horribly cold, with all my warm covering dumped in the waste-basket outside the door; cold chills actually raced up and down my door-frame. But worst of all was the bareness and loneli- ness of everything. 0, I could have died willingly! And on top of all, when Miss Tyler came in to inspect, she actually smiled, and seemed pleased at my miserable state. I had not believed her capable of it; I had thought that she of all people would sympathize with me. She had always seemed to take so much interest in me. Well, I spent the most desolate day of my life, but that was only the beginning. Every day since my mistresses have grown more cruel. I cannot see why they continue such barbarities, for they certainly do not appear to enjoy it. Scarcely anyone ever enters my door nowr, and the other day I overheard some of the other rooms speak of me as unin- viting, as if I were to blame! I have contracted a severe cold on account of the bareness, and everyone who enters for even one moment catches it. My floor is, I am afraid, developing chronic rheumatism, and every day the poor thing is forced to endure the sight of Miss Tyler’s and Miss Grey’s triumphant smiles. I suppose there is no hope for me, at least there is no prospect now. Even while I write this I feel that deadly chill creeping over me and—oh, I believe that broom is moving! I.

C., Feb. 30th, 1908.—Miss daude Craig', a prominent society belle of his section, was yesterday the victim of a nost unfortunate accident which for a time vas feared to be fatal. Miss Craig was suf- ering from a severe headache and in com- diance with the request which had been nade to her by a friend she ’phoned to Jor- lan’s Drug Store where he clerked and asked i m to send her something to relieve her rightful pain. Bromo-seltzer was the reme- ly he selected, one with which Miss Craig vas not familiar. She asked her friend Miss Jobbins—who was at that time staying with ler—how to take the medicine. The latter relieving Miss Craig to be joking, replied, ‘Put it in your mouth, then drink some vater. ” Miss Craig did this, and much to the ilarm of her friends she began to ‘foam at ;he mouth,99 and to gasp for breath as though � he were dying. The whole neighborhood vas summoned and soon arrived at Miss Uraig’s home. The convulsion was thought :o have left her in a dying condition; how- ever, she has largely recovered, and it is hoped that she will soon be out. Her many friends will be sorry to hear of her illness, though much relieved at her speedy recovery. SOPHOMORE BANQUET. Special to Daily Journal Last night the Sophomores of the Presby- terian College gave quite an enjoyable ban- quet to their sister class, the Seniors. The College dining-room was beautifully decora- ted, old rose and grey being the color scheme. Silver candelabra and rose candles, amid many lovely ferns, lent quite a festive appear- ance to the tables; drooping from the chan- delier graceful festoons of old rose and grey extended to all parts of the room. The menu was delightful and beautifully served, while good cheer everywhere prevailed. The Toast Master, Miss Liddell, was charming, so were the toasts rendered by all. The order of Toasts was as follows: Welcome, by Toast Master. Senior Class, - Miss Blakeney. To the College, - Miss Long. To the Banquet, - - - Miss Smith. To the Senior Class Pres., Miss Melchor. To the Dean, - - - Miss P. Smith. To the Soph. President, - Miss McKeown To the Daily Theme, - - Miss Porter. Extemporaneous. The occasion was certainly an enjoyable one to all. Glowing accounts are received on all sides, to-day, from those partaking of tlm hospitality of the Sophomores. MYSTERIOUS DISAPPERANOE. Special to Daily Journal. Back Creek, Feb. 30th, 1908. -The town bell was stolen from its accustomed place last night between the hours of 9 and 10. There was no rising bell to ring this morning, so John Billet, the faithful sexton, pounded his mallet on the front door step of each house. Blood-hounds were put out in a vain effort to locate the criminal. Heavy rains last night rendered their services useless. Great excitement prevails. Special to Daily Journal by 'phone. The town is quiet again; the bell has been located suspended by a rope from the rafters of the City Hall. All are congratulating John Billet on his good sense manifested during the affair. 2 THE PAW CREEK DAILY JOURNAL, CHARLOTTE, APRIL 1, 1908.

Smith l Editors Single Subscription, per year, 13 cents; Subscription for two or more copies addressed to one person 12lA cents a year each. A Plea For Self-Government. Before taking up the advantages of self- government, for the benefit of those who are not acquainted with the term in its common acceptation, may we make a brief statement concerning self-government? Upon entering College the student is informed that he is trusted to do his duty in all things; no correction, no reproof comes from a Professor. The student is at liberty to go his own gait. Now, in case the stu- dent becomes lax, neglecting his work and doing his part to keep others from doing their duty, he is warned by the Dean that his record is unsatisfactory. Should he con- tinue to neglect his work, his parents are requested to remove him from College. What a vast field this plan affords for the development and the strengthening of char- acter ! What an incentive to do right! On the other hand this “catch-me-if-you- can” arrangement weakens the average stu- dent morally. The average student does not feel that he is on his honor to keep a lot of rules just because he is told to, when the Professor watches him and reports him for a restriction if he finds him breaking a rule. Certainly not. Moreover, the second objection is that a student becomes violently incensed against a Professor because to the student’s mind the Professor has been guilty of great injustice in reporting him for punishment. It may be that the Professor is acting according to the dictates of his conscience, doing what he con- cieves to be right, at the same time the stu- dent sees only injustice in his action and naturally becomes antagonized. We meet also this: A feeling of resent- ment manifesting itself as spite, which belittles and benumbs the higher instincts of the student. We do not mean to justify all this; it is plainly wrong, yet such is the state of affairs and we are laboring to find a correct solution to the puzzling problem: Shall it be ”catch-me-if-you-can” or self-government? Queries. ■-------- For correct solution: First prize, P. C Scholarship. Second prize—If day pupil, free lunch at recess; if boarder, full course in etiquette, under Miss Long. Why shouldn’t the Dean restrict teachers who inspect afterlight bell ? Why did a large assembly fade away from the dining room on pie day? What is the Sophomore definition of “Meg- aphone?” What really did happen to the bell? What is the best way to celebrate the birth- days of great men? Where did you get him, Nellie Van? How do you spell America, Pat? Does 3x6 always make 7, Miss Long? Who said to classify the “participles” (parables) in Bible? Is a waste basket the proper thing to throw a bowl of water in, Miss Lily? Why the sudden affection for the Junior Room? How do you square tne hypotamus, Miss Richardson? Who squeezed your hand, Bird? How do you “speak orally,” Miss Porter? Why should you be conscious of a door when you walk into it, Miss Maxwell? Why did Dr. Bridges agree with Miss Gor- don when she answered the question, “What is the process of thinking?” with “Abstract- ion?” Why might the class of ’09 be called “George Washington, Jr?” What kind of hair tonic did they use on that little maple tree? the paw creek DAILY JOURNAL, CHARLOTTE, APRIL 1, • 1 .

Cranford (white) was arraigned this morning on charge of disorderly conduct during the preceding night. She was fined $5 and costs and released. J. Graves was up for dealing in “fire water. ’ Upon pledge that she would not visit Salisbury again she was released. M. Barringer, M. Wharton, and P. Griffith found trouble in keeping the peace of the Sabbath. The recorder sentenced them to one week’s imprisonment, since they were unable to pay fines. M. Smith was arraigned for failure to pay dog tax. Mr.------went her bond. She was adjured to pay up soon, lest the worthy Fido find his way to the Paw Creek restaurant. At this juncture the court was interrupted by the arrival of Night Patrolman Gordon, who escorted in two small urchins, M. Pat- rick and J. Lore, who had been disturbing the peace of the entire neighborhood in the middle of the night. Recorder Tyler observing the penitent aspect of the miscreants released them upon promise of good behavior in the future. K. McArthur was summoned before the Recorder at the session of court this past week and was given one week imprisonment for the murder of Citizen Rat. She was lightly punished since it was proved the kill- ing was in self-defense. The escaped convict M. McRae, who last month broke jail was brought before the court last week and forced to serve life imprisonment for the deed. NOTICE! Attention is called to the handsome seal used on the front cover of The Edelweiss for 1908. This is the first seal the Presbyterian College has had since the beginning of the construction of the new college building, the old one having been lost with the demolition of the old institute building. The new seal is the work of Miss Louvenia Lander, of the Junior Class, and presented to the College by this Class. The Lady From Town.

A— S—p—o—o—e: Certainly, you may encourage your suitor, the Junior partner. He will some day be a Senior. A—F— L—d—e—1: There are two methods by which you can grow thin. First, by fall- ing in love often, which will make you lose both sleep and appetite, or by going in train- ing for basket ball. The latter method is surer, but the former much easier. “Varsity Applicant:” To get into trim I advise you not to get up until Prep, bell, then take an ice-cold bath and dress as quick- ly as possible. As the breakfast bell rings start at the top and roll down stairs, com- pleting your toilet en route. This exercise will make you both quick in thought and action. For practice during the day you might jump over the rotunda several times. Then before retiring if you and your room- mate should throw each other around the room for a few minutes the circulation would be aroused. If you live through this training there will be nothing left for the opposition to do to you. THE GIRLS WHO WON PLACES ON THE TEAM Track Meet at the Presbyterian Col- lege for Women Results in Such Choice—Miss Critchett’s Instruction in Athletics Proving Very Popular. The track meet held at the Presbyterian College for Women yesterday afternoon from five to half-past six, was for the purpose of selecting a track team for the spring season, and was hugely enjoyed by the faculty and the large body of students who witnessed it. The following young ladies won places on the team, the class following the name in each case: Misses K. Cramer, captain, '09; L. Davis, ’08; Jessie Knox, '12; E. Patrick, ’08; M. Patrick, '09; M. Mosely, ’12; L. Dog- get, ’12; M. Flournoy, HO; M. McManaway, ’12; M. Greenlee, ’08, and L. Flournoy, ’10. The team will be under the direction of Miss Catherine Critchett, late of the Boston Normal School of Gymnastics, now athletic instructor at the college. A business mana- ger will be chosen shortly, and a number of meets like the one last night will be held during the spring. The judges in last night’s contests were Mrs. H. F. Anderson and Misses H. Wade and M. Ramsay. There were five events, which resulted as follows: Standing Broad Jump. 1st: Miss K. Cramer, 0 feet 11 inches. 2nd: Miss M. McManaway, 0 feet 5 inches. 3rd: Miss M. Greenlee, 6 feet 3 inches. Running Broad Jump. 1st: Miss K. Cramer, 11 feet 3 inches. 2nd: Misses M. Flournoy and M. McMana- way, 9 feet 1 inch. 3rd: Miss L. Flournoy, 9 feet 2 inches. Running High Jump. 1st: Miss M. Flournoy, 3 feet 8 inches. 2nd: Miss M. Mosely, 3 feet 8 inches. 3rd: Miss K. Cramer, 3 feet 8 inches. The places in this event were assigned ac- cording to how many attempts the contest- ants made before attaining the maximum, which was finally the same in the case of each of the three mentioned above. It ought, in fairness, to be mentioned also that the young ladies were notin training for this particular event, and therefore the re- sults in it last night were not up to what the college can do; there are young ladies in at- tendance who have cleared as high as 4 feet 2 inches. Standing High Kick. 1st: Miss M. Patrick, 6 feet 8 inches. 2nd: Miss M. Mosely, 6 feet 7 inches. 3rd: Misses E. Patrick, K. Cramer and L. Dogget, 6 feet 5 inches. Forty-Yard Dash. 1st: Miss K. Cramer. 2nd: Miss L. Davis. 3rd: Miss Jessie Knox. (No time taken.) There will be a tennis tournament next week, with contests for both singles and doubles. Interest in tennis is general through- out the school. Basket ball is being steadily and enthusiastically practiced, and good re- sults are expect� d in this sport. In brief, there is a great deal “doing” in athletic circles at the college just now.— Charlotte Evening News. THE PAW CREEK DAILY JOURNAL, CHARLOTTE, APRIL ms Paw Creek Locals. The little village hospital is full at present. Unfortunately, chicken-pox, a most con- tagious and dangerous disease, has become rife among us. Some of the unfortuuate victims are: Misses Rebecca Caldwell, Lula Harris, Mary Parker, Janie McAlister, Vir- ginia Stanback, Alba McGhee and Mamie Ray. It is prevalent among the women of the village. A large aggregation of young ladies left yesterday for Davidson College to attend the Junior oratorical exercises. Miss Gordon announced to her classes the. previous day that there would be no Latin recitations the rest of the week since she wished to try her hand during this leap year and that as this promised to be a fit occasion, she, too, would go to Davidson, but Misses Cornell and Bar- ringer detained her. Coming! Coming! The P. C. Stock Company will play here next week, in several productions. Miss Long, as leading lady will play all tragedy parts. Miss Tyler does herself credit in sev- eral historical characters, while Miss Gordon will play the immortal role of “Julius Caesar’ ’ and Miss Porter will appear as “The Merchant of Venice.” The chorus is exceptionally good, the star of that body being Miss Armstrong. Miss Armstrong has made many hits both in America and abroad. All of these are world-renowned performers and we hope all will take advantage of this exceptional opportunity. Academy of Music, March 12-20. Tickets on sale at Hawley’s. Miss Irving Harding has just returned from Junior speaking, at her home, Davidson College. We understand that Miss Harding caught a suitor, but lost him on the way home. For this we are truly sorry. There will be a benefit ball given at the Presbyterian college Friday night for erect- ing a fountain in front of the said college. Tickets $2.00. We are sorry to hear that Miss Long will soon leave us to go on a tour through the United States to give lectures on the “Morals and Manners of Young Ladies.” While we are very sorry to lose Miss Long from our community, we wish her much success in her undertaking and feel sure she will be the means of uplifting tfye rising generation. In Music Circles. The popular Miss Wharton whose beautiful voice renders her well known in musical circles is studying voice this winter under the noted Mme. K. T. Armstrong. Miss Whar- ton has applied herself with great diligence t0 her work and there’s a perceptible resem- blance in her voice to that of her great instructor. It is understood that Miss Juliet Graves will study for grand opera this coming year, Her voice, though as yet not trained, is really quite wonderful and we wish Miss Graves much success. The music this year has been exceptionally fine, especially the solos and choral work in Study Hall. We wish to tell those young ladies how much we enjoyed the same. RECEPTION LAST NICHT Delightful Event at Presbyterian Col- lege — Student Body Receives in Honor of the Elizabeth and David- son College Students—A Most En- joyable Event. The annual reception tendered last night by the student body of the Presbyterian College in honor of the students of Elizabeth and Davidson colleges was an exceedingly happy occasion, and was attended by one of the largest assemblages that ever gathered at a similar event in this city. College colors were in evidence on every hand and the general decorations presented a scene of unusual love- liness. The two literary societies of the insti- tution took charge of the parlors and be- decked each in the individual colors. The punch room was adorned in Elizabeth colors, and the library in Davidson colors, these consisting of ribbons, flags, pennants and various assortments of the kind. 6 THE PAW CREEK DAILY JOURNAL, CHARLOTTE, APRIL 1, 1908. These occasions are annually given to pro- mote and foster a kindred feeling among the students of the colleges, and in the accom- plishment of this purpose they have evidently proved largely successful. The spirit of friend- liness between these institutions is very mark- ed and is of that type that elevates and lasts. Both the Elizabeth and Davidson students were present last night in large numbers probably as many as one hundred attend- ing from the latter. In addition to these representatives, a great crowd of the young people from the city attended and enjoyed the occasion to the fullest extent.— Daily Charlotte Observer. JUNIORS ENTERTAIN SENIORS A Delightful George Washington Birthday Celebration Held at the Presbyterian College—Distinguished Visitors in Attendance—The Senior Class Song. Daily Charlotte Observer. The enterprising junior class of the Presby- terian College took advantage of the birthday of the “immortal George’’ to give the senior class their annual banquet. From 9 o’clock until 11 o'clock the sober walls of the college looked down upon a scene of dazzling splen- dor. All the beauty and chivalry of colonial America seemed to have poured into the usu- ally quiet halls. Some of the celebrities pres- ent were: George and Mrs. Washington, Alexander Hamilton and Elizabeth Schuyler, Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Franklin, Mr. and Mrs. John Jay and Miss Livingstone, and Jerome Bona- parte and Elizabeth Patterson. These were only a few of those famous in our nation’s history who favored the Presby- terian College with their presence last night. It would be impossible to enumerate all. As this was the nation’s birthday, the national colors were used profusely in the decorations. The guests were received in rooms arranged with appropriate colonial sim- plicity and beautified with potted plants. The dining hall was gay with red, white and blue ribbons. The stars and stripes guarded the entrance in the shape of portieres, and tiny silk editions of the flag were given as sou- venirs. A grand march was led by General and Mrs. Washington served to set in motion the gaye- ties of the evening. The march ended in the dining hall where a three-course luncheon was served. Representatives of the Freshman class in colonial garb acted as serving maids. This part of the occasion was enlivened by original toasts to the faculty and each class. Miss Mildred Stephenson, president of the class of ’09 was toast mistress. The hit of the evening was the senior class prophecy written and delivered by Miss Elizabeth Chambers, class of ’09. The distinguished guests now assembled in the entrance hall and in stately manner joined in the Virginia reel. The music which had continued throughout then merged into “A Song of the Senior Class, ” to the tune of “Cupid of Vassar,’’ the words written by Miss Louvenia Lander, class of ’09, and thus the guests departed with the words of the senior song accompanying them on the homeward way: “Walking with our senior class Round our campus here, Mem’ries ever will remain Of ’08 so dear. Though we part to meet no more, Seniors dear you’ll cling Round our hearts forever more, So to you we sing. Chorus: “Dear senior class, dear senior class, O how we wish you would not pass But tho’ it may grieve us Soon you must leave us Good-bye dear senior class. Senior class, ’tis hard to think That we soon must part When you know we’ve every link Welded round each heart. Every senior in the class Means a loving vow, Dear P. C. we’ll return again And sing the same as now. THE PAW CREEK DAILY JOURNAL, CHARLOTTE, APRIL 1, 1908. The hit of the evening was the prophecy read by Miss Elizabeth Chambers, '09: The president of the class of '03 Will always continue to be Loaded with well-deserved honors, Even after she leaves P. C. Here is a girl whom we call Bird, Hey' fate is told in a single word— For earnest she is in school and at “hame, ” Tho' wedded her name is ever the same! Here is one whom you know, I am sure, You have seen her golden hair In days of yore; She is married now to one Who gave her lots of sun, At Chapel Hill, when her name was Cornie Fore. Here is a writer—Marjorie Murr— Whose stories are read the world over! And if you'll open one, you’ll find 'Twill hold you from cover to cover! When Mary Gordon has gotten her dip. SheTl not try to get more knowledge, She has something else she'd like to do— Marry the man at Davidson College. Elizabeth Pilson will be an old maid, Is what some people say, But others say no, her heart is given To the man at Staunton, V—a. It may be that Ethel Pat Doesn't want to tell her fate, But I’ll give you one little hint— His name’s something like “Wingate! Zoraida will attain the height Of all of her ambition— She’ll be an elocutionist And a reader by profession! Jessie Dobbins, always so quiet and neat, Will become a Sky-Pilot's wife, And working with her loving help-meet Will spend the rest of her life! Flossie will do a noble work, She’ll deserve a laurel wreath, She’ll stand and hold the patient's hands While her husband pulls their teeth!! If Macie could have her dearest wish She would like a musician to be, But those blue, blue eyes are something else, I won't tell, but you wait and see! They say that Janie Knox would like A trained nurse to be! But that may be so she can work With a certain Doctor B! You needn’t look far For Melva Carr, She holds a high position! Wherever you go You'll be asked, I know, “Have you heard our great musician? Grace Cranford will become, we know, A famous Prima Donna, And she will gain both name and fame And every kind of honor. Agnes Martin Thought with partin’ Here hart would broken be! So back she came, Agnes, the same, To teach music at old P. C. To Lucy Harris now we turn, And here we find a surprise, She will not take the one we think— SheTl not marry the man with blue eyes. Here are two girls whom you know— E. Todd and E. Shannonhouse, Both as famous musicians will Great admiration arouse! Here's an army—here’s drums and fife, And as the music rose and fell Here's an army officer’s wife Whom we used to know as Lilly Rozzelle. Maude Wilkins will be most happy Having won the desire of her life. Her Fate’s name's unknown to some because He's the man who writes in cipher. Susie McMurray, always in a hurry To put anything into rhyme, Will become a great poet, I'm sure you all know it And win herself fame for all time! A queen of society we see next, No more are Latin and Greek her text, From bridge to hearts she's ever goin', Alas, for the change in Mary Owen! E. L. C., 09. 8 THE PAW CREEK DAILY JOURNAL, CHARLOTTE, APRIL 1, 1908. Heart to Heart Talks With Girls. (Address all inquiries to Miss M. Smith, who will take great pleasure in replying through Daily Journal.) J. L. — If you would become a “Miss Lydia Languish ’ you must learn to glide and be less animated. Miss.Ray—To reduce your height I fear is impossible, but you may deceive people by wearing low-heeled shoes, and your hair very flat on your head; also avoid stripes in your clothes. To those whom it may concern: Beware ! Frat pins are not what they seem. L. S.—To really catch a suitor, walk along the streets in the simplest of grey dresses and a demure smile. All men admire mod- esty. Try this for several years and report developments to Miss M. Smith, Paw Creek Journal. If noteffective, further instructions will be furnished. « , Pretty Pearle—It would be better to enter- tain your suitors before the Faculty as it shows greater respect to your elders, a lack among the girls of to-day. M. B.—Play basket ball by all means; it will help your personal appearance. M. W.—To darken your hair try sticking your head out of the window on side of the factory. Anxious One—To improve your temper avoid all classes for three weeks and note the result. 9 M. S—To increase your height you might try sleeping at night suspended from the chandelier. Blue-eyed Beauty—A person of your color- ing should prefer the University to Davidson. H. F —Your horoscope says you will have much attention in your youth------from the faculty of P. C. T. H.—Soap is not good for your face; never use it in the future. The early morning train to Davidson yes- terday carried the largest delegation from Charlotte that ever went up to attend the field day exercises at the college there. Prac- tically the whole student body of the Presby- terian College and a large number of young ladies from Elizabeth College went over for a day’s outing. Those who returned last even- ing were unanimous in declaring that they had never spent a more delightful day nor been treated more royally. The exercises passed off smoothly and the weather could not. have been more ideal. Quite a number of those so fortunate as to possess automobiles drove over after midday for the baseball game in the afternoon. Asa result of the warm welcome which the Davidson student body gave their guests yesterday, it is understood that the Presbyterian and Elizabeth girls will go out to the A. M.-Davidson baseball game this afternoon undivided and exuberant in their support of the wearers of the red and black. Daily Charlotte Observer. MUSIC RECITAL WAS VERY FINE Young Ladies of Presbyterian College Music Department Acquitted Them- selves Splendidly—Large Attend- ance. The vocal recitals at the Presbyterian Col- lege have always been looked forward to as almost epoch making events in the music department, and the concert given last night by Miss Wade’s pupils was considered an ad- vance even on the ones so much enjoyed last year. The choruses “Springtime,” by Wilden- berg; “Voices of the Wood,”.by Rubenstein, and “Hark, Hark, the Lark,” by Schubert, were especially beautiful selections and were given in a manner that was a delight to all music lovers. The precision of attack, finish of expression, as well as the unison which they sang, gave unmistakable evidence of their skillful training. The quartette, “Annie Laurie,” by Misses McIntosh, Ramsay, Crawford and Wade, came as a tender remembrance from old Scot- land. With the beautiful blending of rich voices in the sweetest of melodies the old- time favorite captivated the audience and was roundly applauded. The bright, dainty trio, “Snowflakes,” by Misses Cornelius, Harding and Crawford was charming and received the warm appreciation it deserved. The duets,4 ‘Swallows, ” by M isses Harris and the paw creek daily journal, charlotte, Chambers, and ‘Hymns to the Night, ” by Misses RozzeUe and Cranford, were fine con- trasts and each a gem in itself; while '‘A Lover and His Lass,” by Misses Wade and McIntosh, was an exquisite piece of work, both as to its own intrinsic merit and also as showing the rare beauty, richness and culture of the voices. The contrasting solo numbers, “The Sweet- est Flowrer”and a “Little Thief” showed Miss Marie Torrence’s bright, clear soprano notes to advantage and were warmly received. The “Minor Chord,” by Miss Grace Crawford, gave ample scope for her full contralto, as did “Neta Gil ana” in showing the capabilities of Miss Cornelius’ clear soprano voice. The little love lyric, “If I Were a Rose,” by Miss Rozelle, was well suited to her beautiful voice, while Cowan’s joyous “Birthday Song” was given by Miss Nellie Van Stewart with the finished interpretation of an experienced singer. The singers were ably accompanied by Misses Ramsay, Harris and Carr. The pro- gram was varied with readings by pupils from the school of expression, each one showing in a remarkable degree the careful training, in which Miss Schmidt has proved herself an artist. The little Misses Abigail Alexander and Bessie Flowe each showed remarkable apti- tude in their interpretation of their poems for those so young. Miss Isabelle McDonald gave evidence of special talent, her clear voice and natural manner showing her fitness for the work she has chosen. By special request Miss Schmidt read the ‘ ‘Wooing of Bernice, ’’ a scene from the ‘ 'Sign of the Cross.” She was repeatedly encored, showing the very high appreciation in which her work is always held. The college is to be congratulated on having two such efficient and enthusiastic workers as Miss Wade and Miss Schmidt, to whom the success of the evening’s entertainment was due.— Daily Charlotte Observer.
