The first of the name to become prominent in North Carolina was David Caldwell, D.D., a graduate of Princeton, who came to Guilford County, N. C., from Lancaster County, Pa., and was elected the first president of the State University. He declined this perilous honor and continued his private life as head master of his own private school, preacher, physician, farmer and member of the first Constitutional Convention—a man of intellect, culture, force and wide influence. He married at Sugar Creek, Rachel Craighead, a daughter of that Alexander Craig- head, whose name is still honored as that of a great teacher, preacher and leader of men. Among the children born to them was Samuel Craighead Caldwell. Rev. S. C. Caldwell became pastor of the flourishing congregation of his grandfather, Alexander Craighead, at Sugar Creek. He established a mission, where he preached once a month, at the village of Charlotte. He served these two churches during the whole of his ministry of 35 years, and the First Presbyterian church with its group of growing daughters is a witness to the faithfulness and success of his service. He married ( 1 ) Abigail Bain Alexander, daughter of John McMinn Alexander, (2) Elizabeth Lindsay, daughter of Col. Robert Lindsay. Among the children born of the second marriage was John McKuitt Madison Caldwell, who followed his father into the ministry after being graduated from the University of Georgia and the Union Theological Seminary, Virginia. J. M. M. Caldwell became pastor at Sugar Creek church, stated supply of the First Church in Charlotte, pastor in Rome, Ga., and it was in Rome that he turned his attention to the larger education of young women and became president of Rome Female College. When Sherman turned the college into barracks and stables in 1 863, Dr. Caldwell came to the presidency of Concord Female College at Statesville, N. C., then to that of Edge- worth Seminary, Greensboro. When his confiscated property in Rome was returned to him in 1871 he returned to his school in that city and remained there until his retirement in 1888. Fie died in his 81st year, honored and beloved. Dr. Caldwell married at Sugar Creek, Carolina Elizabeth Livy of Wolfboro, N. H.. who was graduated from the celebrated Emma Willard Seminary, Troy, N. Y. In those early times the South drew heavily on the North for its teachers, and Miss Livy was one of the many cultured, intellectual young women who accepted positions as governess in families of wealth and social position living out of reach of the few schools then in the state. After her marriage to the young pastor at Sugar Creek they conducted a school which was of wide benefit to the community, and she served as lady principal of the several colleges which were under her husband’s direction, and there are many Southern women who bear witness to her beauty of person, elegance of manner, her well trained mind and merit as a disciplinarian. John Living, the third son of his parents, was born in Rome, Ga., prepared for Prince- ton College by Samuel J. Stevens, a graduate of Dartmouth. After four years at Princeton he spent two years at Union Theological Seminary Va., then returned to Princeton Theo- logical Seminary for a final year and was graduated in 1874. He was called to the pastorate of Bowling Green, Ky., leaving the charge to become co-pastor with Dr. B. M. Palmer in New Orleans, from 1891 to 1893. He then served as pastor in Pine Bluff, Ark., from 1893 to 1905. He received the title of Doctor of Divinity from Central University, Ky., and Ogden College, Ky., simultaneously in 1888, traveled through Europe, Egypt, Palestine and Syria during the year 1898 and was elected president of the Presbyterian College for Women, Charlotte, N. C., in 1911. Dr. Caldwell was married in 1881 to Rilma Sanders, daughter of Dr. H. J. San- ders, physician, state senator, sugar planter of St. Mary’s Parish, La. Four children were born of this union, Amanda S., wife of Wm. E. Holt of Lexington, N. C.; Henry San- ders of Pine Bluff, Ark.; Caroline E., widow of George D. Jordan of Columbus, Ga.; Lida R., a graduate of Agnes Scott College, 1911. Believing that a minister’s service to mankind need not be confined to the pulpit. Dr. Caldwell has been connected with various successful public enterprises, and brings to his present field of endeavor the well-traind, shrewd, resourceful mind and nervous activity of a modern man of affairs, as well as the polished manner gamed by years of association with the best society of our land, and the keen insight into human nature and quick judg- ment that mark a leader.

A look at her face will show an abundance of what some might call stubbornness, but which for delicacy’s sake will be termed obstinacy. Read the list of officers above and see what a figurehead she is in athletics. Her greatest difficulty has always been in her inability to show Dr. Bridges what she is “driving at. Business, however, is Laura’s strong fort. The class has shown its appreciation of her graces by electing her president for two years. Margaret Alexander Hudson, A.B., n. A. Waxhaw, N.

Small in stature, she is large in con- versation, and is always ready to talk. Charter member Kickers’ Association. German is her pet aversion, but she is some star in mathematics. Willing to give all kinds of information concerning the “Lake Poets.” Usually very sensible, but she is entirely unresponsible when “Belks” is in the question. But after all has been said it shall remain that brains, not size, make women, and “Babe” is a cute little thing anyway. Maggie Wallace Query, A.B., r. S. Clover, S.

Voted the most intellectual girl in col- lege, Maggie certainly deserved the honor, possessing an unusual mind and plenty of perseverance and determination to carry out her ideals, she will always succeed. She is usually calm and reserved, but oc- casionally flies the track, and when she does there is something doing. Kind and considerate, she is a sample of 1912’s best. Mary Raper Johnston, B.L., n.

One of the few girls who have had that enviable privilege of being reared by P. C. for thirteen years. Mary has grown in grace and wisdom beneath its walls, and is accepted as standard au- thority on college history. Plolds a strong hand with Cupid, and by her general at- tractiveness is destined to make a big splash in the social sea. A masterpiece of executive ability, determination and common sense, she will ever be a leader Margaret Louise Morrow, A.B., II. A., ©. $. ------------------, N.

Sub Varsity Team ’08- 09; Class Tennis Team 09-10. Another one of the old girls who has grown up with the college. Is some- what of an athlete and has made a reputation for herself on the bas- ketball field. Happy-go-lucky, care free and always out for a good time, Louise always proves excellent company. Her passion for dancing is only exceeded by her love for her “angel. Say “Lottie,’ and watch her smile. Open hearted and generous. Likes everybody and every- body likes her. Annie Hendon Hughes, A.B., r. 2. Cedar Grove, N. C. All along the cool sequestered way of life. She kept the noiseless tenor of her way.” Annie believes in doing rather than saying. And she does, too. Just ask her how many 95s she has made on Math. She has even been known to grow enthusi- astic on such subjects as tangents, co- tangents, analytic geometry, etc- The annals of good people are short somebody once said, and if we only knew all the good she has done it could not be written in volumes. Rena Chambers Harrell, A.B., r. 2. Guthriesville, S. C. “Stern was her look and dignified.” Class Historian 09-’10; Class Poet ’1 1-12; Monitress ’1 I -’ 1 2; Y. W. C. A. Cabinet 'I 1 -’ 1 2. We are convinced that the first sen- tence that she ever uttered was in iambic pentameter, or at least in poetic prose. For four years she has worked well and faithfully, and she leaves an enviable rec- ord. Not being familiar with Guthries- ville, Rena’s native city, we know not whether to attribute it to her pessimism and her making much of light burdens. She shies at basketball, dancing and all things frivolous, and there is a report ripe that she does not care for the boys, but believe me, she doesn’t seriously object to them. Allie Cleone Rodman, B.L., r. 2. Waxhaw, N. C. “And when a man’s in the case You know all other things give place.” Critic Society ’ I 0-’ 1 I ; President Spe- cial Class. The department of music lost a promis- ing student when Allie abandoned it for the charms of philosophy and English. A schoolboy might say that Allie ‘‘bones,’’ but what matters that if thereby she gains useful knowledge from the curriculum? We only wish that she would spend fewer evenings with her ardent suitor and more with us. Sudie Elizabeth Wilson, B.L., n. A. Charlotte, N. C. “ The world is a wheel. And it will all come around right. Coming to us in her senior year and be- ing a day pupil as well makes it rather difficult for us to form any definite opin- ion of Sudie. We have always found her a genial classmate, and ready to lend her aid and co-operation on all occasions. She is not “very strong” for logic, but is some spieler in English. Kate Moore Rankin, A.B., r. 2. Charlotte, N. C. “There is no wisdom lil?e frankness. Katie Moore, and by this I mean Katie Aloore and not Mary Lee, has been with us only two years, and her history is rather a mystery. But as I never write in “mystic verse” will let her history be. Just know her once and you will like her, but beware of that little thing called temper, of which she is well supplied. Josephine Gordon Miller, A.B., n. a. Sardis, N. C. “Crowned with a flaming aureole.” Joe came to us “fresh” from Due West where they say she won fame as champion tennis player. Her happy smile and flaming crown have been welcome in our “missed,” even if Dr. Bridges does include her in the “bone-head senior class,” in spite of the fact that she is a preacher’s daughter. You will find Joe a believer in strict discipline, and if you do not wish to be “marshalled” to your room after room bell, look ahead and beware of her flashlight.

B. Team MO- MI, Ml-M2; Class Tennis Team MO- MI, M 1-M2. This jolly, good-natured Tennesseean is ever conspicuous by her flaming aure- ole. Full of fun and lively spirits, she is ever on the search for a good time and usually gets it. Jordan’s has a peculiar fascination for her, and “chocolate “tails and moving pictures are her hob- bies. A good all around athlete, an en- thusiastic participant in all phases of col- lege activities makes “Kat” a popular and valued member of the class. Cornelia Sampson Ehrich, A.B., n. A. Georgetown, S C. Is she not passing fair?” Class Prophet Ml-M2; Manager Senior Mysteries. Her natural element is on the ball- room floor, where she is an artist of high order. Spends every week-end in town to avoid going to church. Under the strain of logic and ethics she is really getting quite thin and wan. Is quite a heart smasher, but never forgets “the man from home.” Her sunny disposition and gentle manners have already found for her a warm circle of friends. Mary Elizabeth Nash, B.L., IT. A. Charlotte, N. C. “Courtesy winneth many, many friends.’’ Never crosses bridges until she gets there, and scarcely ever then. Takes life as it comes, never worries, but always gets there. Moving pictures have a peculiar fascination for her, and she is ever on the search for an “A. B.” film. Mary is all right, though, and liked by everyone. Lottie Alexander, B.L., n. A. Davidson, N. C. “They always talk who never think-” Class Historian '08- 09; Class Presi- dent '09-10; Assistant Business Mana- ger Annual ’ 1 0-’ 1 I. Another one who has seen the college spread and grow. Has a conglomeration of peculiar ideas and theories which she advances on all occasions. Goes off like a firecracker on the slightest provocation. Is afflicted by the hallucination that she can sing, but it is hoped that she will soon recover. A hard and untiring worker, with plenty of determination. She will always succeed. Lillian Eloise Shaw, A.B., n. a. Charlotte, N. C. “7 he noblest minds that most contentment have. Vice-President Class 09-M0; Class B. B.

By way of introduction we will tell you That Lillian was voted the best all around girl in college, so of course she plays bas- ketball and tennis and is a good student. But to show you her popularity—after accepting twenty or more offices, she actually declined one, saying she couldn’t hold all the offices in school. No matter how hard the work Lillian still smiles. She has the rare art of appearing to know more than she really does, though of course her amount of knowledge is really voluminous. _ ► IP yr ‘ Anna Burwell Grier, B.L., r. 2. Harrisburg, N. C.

Team ’09-MI; Sub Varsity M 1-12. It is said that Anna Burwell used to sit at night thinking how she might discover some way of being accommodating to peo- ple. Certain it is that she has surpassed all other maidens at P C. in this kindly art. Undoubtedly her motto is “better late than never,” but since she is the right thing when she does appear, we overlook it. For many days this girl with the gentle ways and purity of character will be missed in the halls. Marjorie Washburn, A.B., r. v. Charlotte, N.

She carries to a finish every- thing that she undertakes and is very en- thusiastic in every branch of college life, mischief, of course, being included. Dr. Bridges finds her always a walking en- cyclopedia, and we poor creatures, dare not put in words what she will do before the year is out. Mary Lilly Henderson, A.B., n. A. Davidson, N. C. “I'll speal( to thee in silence. It is said that Mary has been disap- pointed in love—but does that have any- thing to do with your voice?

Her powers as a mimic, her ability to act and her ready wit make her no ordinary person. She has a passion- ate hankering for the use of sesquipedalion words in talking, and bids fair to become a second Webster. Is an ardent devotee of Cupid, and has one of the largest collec- tion of hearts to be seen anywhere. Her sweet disposition and personal magnetism has endeared her to a large number of friends. Mattie Adele Hines, A. V. C. M., IT. A. Warsaw, N. C. “If music he the food of love, play on. Vice-President Philharmonic Society. If you are looking for indifference, we have it here. Not even the nice situation of having a “steady” causes her to leave the quiet tenor of her ways. Especially gifted musically, we are expecting great things of her in her chosen profession. Doris Rebecca McDowell Harry, Literary Special. Salisbury, N. C. “There is no pleasure lil(e the pain of lov- ing and being loved.” Being very choice in what she does, Doris has always been one of those things you call specialist!—specializing, it is said, in ‘‘spooning,” her first victim actually being a member of our own class. His- tory, we think, is her favorite study, and it is marvelous the way she keeps dates— those of course she has down in the parlor on Saturday night. Willie Graham Boyd, Special, II. A. Townsville, N. C. “Happy am , from care I am free. Why aren't they all contented lil(e me?” Bill is always in a good humor and one for fun, but her sweetest smiles are ever reserved for the young men from David- son. She is an enthusiastic athelete, and is always on the job as center on the basketball team. She has fond hopes of becoming a famous teacher if she doesn’t have them side-tracked by joining a grand opera company. She is all to the good and liked by all who know her.

A certain poet said: “Old friends, like old wine, are best.” The class of 1912 might take issue with this poet, for it has found Elizabeth to be one of its most able members, although it has known her only one year. 1 he thirst for knowledge must have been very strong in her case since it induced her to leave Raleigh and A. and M. You will say, she is very small, and so she is, but into that small person is crowded much of earnestness, amiability and knowledge of Senior English. Ellen Peoples, Special I1. A. Charlotte, N. C. “To be good rather than to he conspicu- ous If she would only talk a little more and would only cultivate that indispensable thing, self-confidence, we would know more to tell you. But when we find a girl whose devotion to duty is only rivaled in strength by her sincerity to friends—and such a girl she is—we are glad to claim her as a member of our class. Ellen s specialty is History, and she can tell what all the Henrys and Edwards of England did. Mable Bennett, Music Special. Polkton, N. C.

She has proved such an addition to our number and as a great musician we are expecting her to bring honor upon old P. C. and the class of 1912.

We, the class of 1912, of the aforesaid state, county, city and college, have through many and various trials and hardships, attained to the long hoped for and much sought position of seniority, having made ourselves worth of many privileges even in our Junior year; having successfully passed that unspeakable Logic and hard Analytics; having these many years patiently and submissively borne clippings and restrictions without number; having set a perfect example of honor, dignity and loyalty to the underclass men; having recited every lesson that it was impossible to obtain an excuse from, we do now declare ourselves of sound mind in spite of these trials and tribulations. Therefore we make and ordain this to be our last Will and Testament. First: Our executrix, Lucy P. Russell, shall always hold as a shining light before the underclass men, and all who enter the walls of P. C., the class of 1912 and all that it stood for. Second: Unto Dr Caldwell we do devise and bequeath, for the furnishing of the Library, all the money which he has failed to return to us. Third: We do return and will to the new Faculty, all the clippings and warnings which they have graciously bestowed upon us, that they may lavish them upon more worthy souls. Fourth: We do will and bequeath unto the class of 1913 the sincere hope that they will early teach “Uncle Jimmy” the art of putting a perpendicular mark before his favorite number—0. Fifth: We do also bequeath unto the class of 1913 our most cherished privilege of entertaining suitors, until 1 0 p. m. on Saturday night or Monday evenings, with the wish that they have the opportunity of exercising the aforesaid privilege more often. Sixth: All the puffs, switches and curls of Louise Morrow and Annie Hughes we do give and bequeath to Theresa McCubbins and Ashby Herron. Seventh: The great poetical genius of Rena Harrell we do respectively leave to the class poet of 1913. Eighth: We do give and will unto the Senior class of 1913 the beautiful furnishings of the Senior classroom. Ninth: All the unused red hair dye of Maggie Query, Kat Wilson, Joe Miller and A. B. Grier we do will unto Lily Walker. Tenth: All the superabundance of mathematical knowledge of the Senior class we do will and devise unto Annie Stevens and Maude Stroup. Eleventh: We do bequeath unto M. B. Alexander and E. Murphy the loquacity of M. Henderson and A. Hughes. Twelfth: All the unused junk handed into the Annual Staff we do bequeath to the college for the furnace on a cold day. Thirteenth: All the unrealized hopes, aims and ambitions of N. Ehrich and K. Wilson we do will and devise to Cora Harris. Fourteenth: Unto L. Blakeney we do gladly bestow all the “kinkiness” of A. Rodman s hair with the fond hope that in some future day her hair will be at least wavy. Fifteenth: All the frowns, worries and such like of R. Harrell, we do will and be- queath to Libbie Blue and Rachel Newell. Sixteenth: All the information concerning our old friend, the burglar, we do grac- iously bestow on the college detective bureau. Seventeenth: Unto the coming Business Manager of the Annual in I 91 3 we do gladly give all the money received from tight wad firms for “ads.” Eighteenth: All our books, papers, etc., we do gladly and cheerfully contribute to a bonfire this very night at twelve o’clock. Nineteenth: Unto the dining department of the college we do generously bestow all left-over concoctions from midnight feasts, to be made into soup. Twentieth: All the skill and dexterity of M. Query in the art of playing tennis we do wili and bequeath to Olga Bailes. Twenty-first: Last, but not least, we do sincerely bequeath to all Senior classes in the future the hope that Dr. Caldwell will have more success in making them beautiful. In witness whereof this will has been drawn by and with full consent of the class of 1912. M. A. Hudson, ’12. BEATING IT TO CHAPEL SENIOR BABY WHAT IS EGO ? BUNCH OF KNOWLEDGE Class “A box of apparatus for Dr. Cornelia Ehrich.” “Thank you, John, take it down to the laboratory for me, please.” “Young Ladies: I have at last received the Radium Scope, through which you can exactly see what a person is doing at the present time simply by placing the glass on any name. You go on with your experiments and I’ll adjust this so as to be able to experiment with it next time. The first thing that I placed the glass on was an old note book, which I used at Presbyterian College in 1912. 1 he glass was focused on the words Presbyterian College. I saw a picture of the whole college, all the old familiar walks and haunts, all the same rooms and loafing places so filled with sweet memories. After having seen all that was said about this newly acquired instrument was true, I proceeded to run down the roll of 1912 and see what all my old classmates were doing. The first name of the roll was Lottie Alexander. There was poor Lottie who, while in college was always having troubles of her own, stooping over the bed of a beautiful young girl trying to persuade her to take some awtul dose. Lottie was following in Auntie’s footsteps. Now I am looking into a crowded theater, and who should appear on the stage but Bill Boyd. Her reputation for acting a man’s part is not to be rivalled by anyone. The scenes changed and I saw sights entirely foreign to me. But soon I recognized the setting to be a village house in Utah. This picture was what I had expected, but I hoped that Providence would show me something happier for my future. But no, there is the laboratory of Columbia University, and there I, leaning over a table deeply interested in some important experiment. Even the light is brighter in this picture, for here I see a young woman with red hair bestowing alms on the needy. I recognized in her Annie B. Grier, who was rightly living up to her old resolutions to give her life and fortune to charity. Here appears an entirely different scene, a classroom with one poor little pupil in the front of the room, and behind her the teacher, explaining in loud, distinct tones the methods of elocution. Now can you imagine Annie Hughes spending her life in such a manner? Once again the scene is changed. In one of the small practice rooms of old P. C. sat Mattie Hines, now a full fledged,teacher, teaching her favorite pupil “The Melody of Love.” Here appears a crowd of Chinamen crowded around a central figure, who is holding a large open Bible in one hand and wildly gesticulating with the other. Imagine my sur- prise when she turns and I recognize Mary Henderson. Once again in America I see framed in the doorway of a large house “Babe” Hudson, and from the smile of expectation that lights up her face as a tall brunette comes into sight we judge that “Babe” has really found her soul-mate. Elizabeth Hill, who, while in college, always worried about the terrible English of the younger generation, is seen spending her life trying to turn her school children into walking dictionaries. Here is a very interesting picture, for I find Rena Harrell and Ellen Peoples vainly trying to write a new text-book on Logic, and hopelessly disagreeing on every subject. Once more I turn my glass, and amid the quiet halls of a nunnery I see Louise Mor- row. I wonder what disappointment has caused Louise to take this rash move, and to spend a life so widely different from what everyone expected from her. Wonders never cease, but who would have expected a Presbyterian College girl to develop into a throat specialist, and yet this is what we find Mary Nash doing. When we see her she is trying to make someone swallow hard enough to bring out the word “Frank.” Her assistant is a dark man about “six foot, four.” Next, I saw a wonderful structure, on the door of which was posted this bill, “Com- ing, Lillian Wild the world-wide known toe dancer.” Turning my glasses I saw the in- terior of the building, and on the stage I saw a little red-haired girl, the sole actor, twirling around on the tips of her toes. When she faced me I recognized Maggie Query The next picture seemed to be that of a lawyer’s office, as it was so littered with papers. On closer observation I saw that I was mistaken, for there, bending over one desk sat Joe Miller and Katie Moore Rankin busy writing a new novel, which was soon to be published under the title of “The Lovers.” Allie Rodman, who, while in college, could not decide upon any one of her many suitors, seems to be still undecided—for she is teaching and helping the poor mill people, to whom she has given her life. It seems almost too improbable that some of the class wouldn’t find their life’s happi- ness at Davidson. Sure enough, we find Lillian Shaw enthroned as librarian of the college, helping the dear, sweet boys. Within the walls of one of our large hospitals, Marjorie Washburn is becoming famous as a nurse. Susie Wilson, if I remember correctly, came to us in her Senior year. She seems to be still on the move, for she is now a saleslady for Whaney’s Church History. ’Tis almost impossible to picture Kat Wilson ever standing still, but this is truly so. Standing in Jordan’s window, her beautiful red hair streaming down her back, and not a single freckle. She is advertising Seven Sisters’ Hair Tonic and “Wilson’s” Freckle C ream. Contrary to the great musical success which had been predicted for her, Irene Wheat has spent many years of toil and labor along chemical experiments, and has, after much research work, found a sure and quick remedy for getting fat. Today she stands as a benefactress to all thin women, and her articles in the current magazines are much sought after. Doris Harry becomes so infatuated with her dyeing experiments while in college that after graduation she decided to take them up on a large scale, and now, the famous “Harry Dyeing House is known all over the world. Mary Johnston, after having tried many different roles, decided that her true voca- tion must be in her great conversational powers, and today as a personal conductor of par- ties to tour the continent, she is without an equal. She has gotten her spiel dciwn to such a science that she holds the record of tellinf her tale of the Tower of London in the shortest time. Why, what’s the matter? Have I broken my radium scope? No; I have only run over the last name. The rest is all a blank. Nelie S. Ehrich, Class Prophet. Ob £ Rising Harsh and loud, harsh and loud, Bell of the rising hour, Loud, loud, ring and cling.

Everyone knows that their thoughts are not in the past, but most firmly fixed upon that which the near future has in store for them. We may think of the party which we gave the Juniors when we were Freshmen, but only because of its significance when compared with the big banquet which we are to give the Seniors this year. In our Sopho- more year there was a basketball game played with the Winston-Salem girls, the remem- brance of which will surely linger for a while in our minds. During our Junior year— oh, the ghosts! Do pardon us, please, the caps and gowns appeared. Each time when we feel inclined to allude to ourselves as the future Seniors, these sombre emblems of the graduating class come, and so we dare not mention the work of the present Seniors for these reminders then assume an attitude of warning, and so ominous is their silence that we can almost hear them saying: “Judge not, that ye be not judged. ’ Of an attempt to relate what we have done is fraught with so much woe, pray con- sider what the telling might bring; and as we have not a class prophetess, allow us to wait until next year to give our history, for then when these gowns have slipped from our shoulders and these caps have been raised from our brows, perhaps we shall have reached the place where we shall no longer believe in phantoms.

N THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER of the year one thousand nine hundred and ten a band of maidens started out to make the long voyage from Blissful Ignorance to Useful Knowledge. On the seventeenth of the month they and their Queen Annie I. set out in a barge up the river of Wisdom, which led to the palace of Knowledge. One-fourth of their journey was safely accomplished in this first trip, their Freshman year. They remained during the summer months at the city of Pleasure. When the fifteenth day of September in the year of one thousand nine hundred and eleven came, these maidens were rested and ready to start on their second voyage, their Sophomore year. This time Queen Annie II. led them. The last time I heard from them they were safely past the forts of Examinations and were struggling bravely to go forward and cover one-half of the much desired voyage, so that they might spend the second summer at Chautauqua and be ready for Junior English.

How long we have looked forward to the time when we would be privileged characters in college life. How long we have looked for- ward to the time when we would no longer be snubbed subs., but snubbers ourselves. So at our first class meeting, which was held October first, nineteen hundred and eleven, we elected our worthy President and staff to help steer us through our Fresh- man year. Our next step was the planning of the Freshman-Junior banquet, which was held February the fourteenth, and was a great success. As our first year of college life is drawing to a close, and our goal is three years nearer, we wish each coming Fresh the same “Fresh joys and tribulations” that we have experienced. M.

ANGELIZING. Bring together two girls with disposi- tions as unlike as possible. One of the two should be slightly taller than the other in order that the arm of the taller one may be placed with more ease around her com- panion’s neck. Very satisfying results may be obtained if the two victims are put in a dark room, and allowed to embrace and commune ir silence. Very frequently the “angel” should be fed with ambrosia, angel cake and other such “food of the gods.” To make a complete success, a stroll should be taken on the campus at least once a day, and twice if possible- INFIRMARY COCKTAIL. Mix together four girls and a midnight feast. Soak in dill pickles, peanut butter, olive relish, jotted ham, mayonnaise, ice cream and bananas until midnight. Then squeeze into one bed, add much jostling and pushing, then a dash of rat scare and serve. HOW TO DRESS FOR BREAK- FAST AFTER PREP. Wake suddenly, and call out to your roommate to know if “prep” has rung; but as she is still yawning and sighing it is impossible to obtain the much desired in- formation. It is then necessary for you to jump out of bed and rush to the next door, only to find that “prep” has rung some ter. minutes betore. i hen begin to dress. First you must search diligently from one end ol the room to the other in order to collect a few pieces of wearing apparel, especially middy blouses and bedroom slippers. Half the precious time must be spent in taking down curl pa- pers, and many more minutes are wasted in a vain search for a shoe buttoner. As the breakfast bell begin? to ring a handful of water must be thrown in the direction of the face, leaving the hooks to be fas- tened and the tie to be put on as you chase furiously down the stairs and dash into the dining room just as Mrs- Russell tap? the bell. HOW A YOUNG LADY SHOULD CONDUCT HERSELF AT A LECTURE IN THE AUDI- TORIUM. At first each one must scramble and fuss to get at the back of the line. As you march in gaze from side to side to see if perchance you spy an acquaintance. Stumble into your seal with much giggling and talking. Every time the door opens turn completely around to see who it is. and if it happens to be a sure enough man, make the fact known in stage whispers. When the speaker of the esening appears, clap your hands loudly and pound on the floor with your feet. After he has been speaking a few minutes begin much whis- pering to your partner. After the first hour has passed you must yawn very care- fully at first behind your hand, then more boldly if the speaker continues. After the speech everybody must begin talking at once and make a hurried dash for the front hall to get your suitor before soxeone else nabs him. HOW TC TAKE A CLIPPING. Creep silently into your room as you hear your name being called by some threatening voice. If the calling con- tinues you are obliged to answer. I hen as accusations are hurled down upon you first assume a ery important air, but if that has no effect then adopt a oh-well-I- did-do-:t-but-it-doesn’t-amount-to-any thing look- If this is also a failure, then become very repentant and resort to a few tears if necessary. This is sure to have the desired effect, and by this time you must escape. Then secretly gather your friends into your room, dose the transom, stop up the key- hole and proceed to tell them the whole affair, of course putting all the blame on the “clipper.” ttucb ,bo -About totbing Lottie Alexander Willie G.

Scene I—Chapel. (Teachers circled around organ—much confusion and noise). Mrs. Russell (soloquizing) : “Oh, that these too boisterous girls might think. Reform, and resolve to better grow, or that the college had not fixed a rule against pleasure. Oh, girls, girls. How useless, barren and unprofitable seems all this recurrent talk. Fie on you, fie, that my words, without your thought, will never to heaven go.” (Noise grows louder; delivers a lecture on better behavior, and more careful observ- ance of rules; ends by reading restricted list; much mourning and fussing; bell rings; first hour classes exit in great confusion.) (Curtain). Act II. Scene I—English Class Room (Class comes to order—Mary Nash settles for a nap). Mrs. Wade: “Now for the spelling lesson. Miss Wilson, spell 'Diary’.” Kat: “Which one Mrs. Wade, 'Diary’ or ‘Dairy’—(much laughing). Mrs. Wade: “Attention, attention, please. Remember, 'He who laughts best laughs last’. Now Miss Wilson, I will give you another chance; spell ‘catY’ Kat (angrily): “Don’t know how.” Mrs. Wade: “Tell the truth at all times, and shame the devil.” Mary Johnston: “Oh, flesh, flesh, how art thou fortified.” Mrs. Wade: “Well, young ladies, how about your paralell work?” (Much fussing and grumbling from class). “To read or not to read, to grow in knowledge, or to be swamped in ignorance, that’s the question.” R. Harrell: “In good faith, I believe they will, but with all our Bible and Logic, I don’t see how we can read so much. Mrs. Wade: “Well, what is, is—settle it among yourselves.” (Bell rings, mad rush for door, agony abated). Act II. Scene II—Dr. Bridges Class Room. (Class comes in with trembling knees. Kat Wilson brings up rear). Lottie: “Virtue is the power to judge good from evil.” Dr. Bridges: “If thou hast not virtue, assume one.” Lottie: “Oh, my prophetic.” Dr. Bridges: Oh, horrible, horrible; if thou hast not knowledge, keep it dark.” “Here lies the water good. Here sits the class bad, 11 the class goes to the water And drowns itself, it is---” “Laura Watt, where is knowledge, in the heart or in the head?

Miss Culbreth: “Miss Hudson, you may go to the board and work example 42, measure for measure. Babe: “Miss Culbreth, I can’t do it. M iss Culbreth: “Why? (what a plentiful lack of knowledge). Why, I say?” Babe: “I have no other than a woman’s reason, just because.” M iss Culbreth: “Well AI iss Shaw, suppose you take it.” (Lillian goes to the board and failing, tries to rub out her mistake before Miss Culbreth sees it). Out dam, out I say; will not all the erasers in the universe erase these mistakes?” Babe: “Miss Culbreth, what will I get on my lesson today?” M iss Culbreth: Well, I will give the devil his dues.” Lillian: “Miss Culbreth, I just can’t get this thing. Come give us a taste of your quality. (Miss Culbreth goes to the board, works the example, and exclaims, smiling.) “All’s well that ends well.” Act II. Scene V—Latin Class. “A pony, a pony, my kingdom for a pony.” Act II. Scene VI—History Class Room. (After much yawning the class begins). Miss Chambers: “Miss Boyd, what is history, anyway?” Bill: “A thing most intolerable and not to be endured.” Miss Chambers: “The devil rides upon a fiddle stick”—what is the matter?” Bill: “What are those words, is not the truth the truth?” (Miss Chambers looks at her threateningly and passes to Doris). Miss Harry, can you tell me what kind of a man Henry VIII was?” Doris Harry: “God made him, therefore let him pass for a man.” M iss Chambers: (“Lord what fools these mortals be.”) Ellen Peoples: “I’d rather be a kitten and meow than one of these scholars, in history.” Miss Chambers: “No more of that, please; comparisons are odious. Bell rings, class breaking up. (From all teachers the Lord defend us). EPILOGUE “Some are born great, Some acquire greatness.

C., and the beginning of the new term of 1911 the girls, after a summers vacation, brought back renewed enthusiasm, but disappointment soon arose in the hearts and faces of all, for ‘ bather Winter,” instead of giving pretty, sunny days, gave rain, hail and st'.ow, and so prevented all practice of any kind. Still teams for Basketball, Tennis and Track, were organized and practiced all the weather would allow. Also the indoor “Gym.” work has progressed under the manage- ment of Miss Hogdon. The class games will begin as soon as the weather will allow and the class of 1912 will do her best to keep the cup she won in 1911. ‘ WATT MOffffOW WHfHT WASH PUFfN ‘varsity basketball team SCRUB BASKETBALL TEAM SENIOR BASKETBALL TEAM Lillian Shaw.....................................

Face to face with Christ in everything- Aim: To bring young women to Christ, to build them up for Christ, to send them out for Christ. Our oung Women’s Christian Association, taken as a whole, has had a most suc- cessful year, despite the many difficulties that had to be faced after the changes in the school. However, we accredit our success greatly to the new faculty advisory members, who have gladly strengthened and aided us in all our endeavors. And this together with the individual co-operation of every member of the organization has led us on to greater undertakings. Interest has especially been shown by the regular attendance at the weekly association service and at the little “good-night” prayer-meetings. We are also glad to say that the plan of systematic giving has been introduced, and that it has proved very beneficial. Thus, relying for grace upon the assurance that “God will supply all our needs according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus,” a ready response has been made to all our needs. It has been our great pleasure to have with us this year the Student Councils of the colleges of western North Carolina, thus we have been able to know the girls of others schools better, and to learn and adopt some of their methods. Our only hope now is that the Y. W. C. A. of next year may be blessed, and that they may so profit by our mistakes as to make their work more pleasant. OFF FOR ADS.

The young leaves whispered to each other among the trees, and the frolicsome zephyrs stole lazily across the velvety lawn In the distance could be heard the drowsy humming of the bees, pierced by the shriller cries of the twit- tering cat birds, as they chattered in happy confusion around the eaves of the house. Old Major Carrington, with the fair head of his little grandson and namesake nestled on his breast, sat lost in dreamy reverie on the wide portico of the stately Georgian home. It was just the day for idle dreaming, and it was easy for the old Major’s dreams to carry him back some thirty-five or forty years, and lose him once again in the midst of the Civil war. Oh, how well he remembered when he and Jake, his body servant, and now an old man like himself, had responded to the call for troops. What a sad parting it had been. Then followed in quick, vivid succession the terrible battles. Once more he was under cannon fire, and once more, after a hard day’s march, he lay on the ground swathed in his blanket with no canopy over his head save the broad heavens, interspersed with twinkling stars. 1 he war was over now, and he was just returning, slowly and wearily home with faithful Jake, when his reveries were broken by a sweet voice from the door, which called, “Father, have you been to see Uncle Jake today? I have just come from his cabin, and he doesn’t seem as cheerful as usual. I wish you would go down and see him; your coming always does him a world of good; and take Bobby with you. I have never seen anything to compare with the old man’s devotion for the child except his love for you, which, as everyone knows, is idolatry, out and out.” “Tut, tut, Madeline,’’ expostulated the old man. “Jake doesn’t idolize me. It is only natural that we should be fond of each other. Why, he reared me, was my second mother, that’s all.’’ But that was not all, for the negro man, who had cared for the Major ever since he was a wee, tottering baby, loved him with a love that bordered on avocation There were two great passions in the old darkey s life—one the love of his master, and the other, the love of his gold. The latter he had been treasuring all of his life— counting it, protecting it, and delighting in its sound and touch. How much the hoarded gold amounted to, and to whom it was to be given, no one knew. All the darkeys thought it a fabulous sum. Uncle Jake’s relatives had untiringly sought favor from the old man, in hopes that they might be rewarded in the end, until one day, irritated by their obsequeous fawnings, he had cried, “You needn’t be so purified towards me, I ain’t gwinter give my gold to no wuthless niggers.’’ “Well Bobby boy,’’ said the old Major, looking affectionately at the sturdy little chap at his side, “I reckon we had better go and cheer Uncle Jake up.” “Yes, do grand fadder,’’ eagerly exclaimed the child, “cause Uncle Jake always tells me war tales, and I jes loves to hear ’em “ The little fellow put his hand confidently in his grandfather’s say- ing, “Now grandfather, when you gets ti ed, you tan lean on me.” As the two wended their way down the familiar trodden path, which led to Uncle Jake’s cabin, Mrs. Randolph looked after them smilingly. They were a comely picture, these two; one, a handsome. erect, gray-haired old man, a typical Southern gentleman of the old school, a vertitable Lord Chesterfield. His features, while agglomerate, were clear cut, the mouth and nose well formed, bespeaking strength and determination. The forehead was broad and mas- sive, while the eyes, gray and blue by turns, softened the rather stern face by their kind- ness and honesty. The other, a winsome scrap of humanity was an exact miniature of the older man. His head and shoulders were thrown back, and he followed in pain- ful imitation the long strides of his grandfather. As the two entered the cabin, which had been Uncle Jake’s home ever since the day he had so stubbornly refused to leave his master at the close of the war. Major Car- rington was painfully distressed and shocked to see how rapidly the honest old black face was wasting away. As the old negro saw his visitors come in his whole face was lighted up by his smile of welcome. Old Marster,’ he said in a tremulous voice, “you dunno how joyed I am for to see you, it sho’ am good in you fer to come and see dishear old nigger so much. And you brung young Marse Bob, too Well, well, how dat child do grow, and jes the spitin’ image o’ hiz sainted gran’ pappy.’’ “Well Jake, that is what everyone says, but how are you today?” Pretty poly, thank de Lawd, Marse Bob. I’se afeard dis ole nigger ain’t long for dis world. Kase ’tother night a drempt ’bout snakes, and last night Tout weddings, and dat is a sho sign dat sump’n gwinter happen.” “Nonsense Jake,” responded the Major, rather impatiently. I thought I had talked all those silly supersti- tions out of your head- Why you are good for ten years yet. Let’s see if we can’t fight the battle of Gettysburg over for Bobby; he is crazy about war tales.” But the old man’s usual flash of interest in such things was painfully lacking, and with a weary sigh he fell back among his pillows, his eyes closed, and his thoughts seemingly miles away. Major Carrington, now thoroughly alarmed about the old negro’s condition, was just on the point of sending Bobby to summon a physician, when Uncle Jake raised him- self in a sitting posture and exclaimed shrilly, “No, Marse Bob, please don’t send for no doctor, dere ain’t no airthly pills what will cure my ailment, for de good Lawd am wait- ing for me ’tother side o’ de river, and I’m gwine to him. I jes got a portant matter I want to tell you fo’ I go.” Once more overcome by exhauston, the faithful old head fell back among the pillows, and Major Carrington, deeply moved by his suffering, exclaimed: “Now Jake, your business can wait until some time when you get stronger.” But the old darkey only sighed, and drawing Bobby closer to him, stroked in silence the soft, golden curls. “Marse Bob,” he said at last, “this business ’s pow’ful ’portant, and I’se got to tell you right now. Ever since dat day when my old missus put you, a little tiny baby in my arms, and tole me to take care of you, I se loved you almost to de f. I was so proud to be your slave, and I thought you war the smartest chile I ever seed, and you wus. Why, it didn’t take you no time to larn to shoot a gun, and the fust thing I know’d you could ride a horse same as anybody. When you went off to be eddicated, it jes lak to have killed me, to be lef’ behin’, and if I don’ disremember, I cried a plumb week fum joy when I heard dat you wus coming home. And den come de war—but what a fool I am to be runnin’ on all dat foolishness- What I want to tell you is dis.” By this time the care-worn old face was seamed with tears and Major Carrington, with difficulty, checked his own sobs, while the old man continued. “Marse Bob, you know dat Ise got ’siderable gold saved up. You know, too, dat Ise been saving dat money all my life, and dat many times Ise gone hungry, and eben widout my terbaccer to keep from spendin' it. Well, I used ter think dat I loved dat gold better n anything in the work; but las' night I cided dat I love you so much dat I want to give it to you fer to edicate young Marse Bob. You know he is named ater you, and dat’s why I wants him to have it. Will you promise dis heah ole nigger to take it Marse Bob?” Major Carrington was too choked in tears to answer, and he sat with one hand tightly grasped in the old negro’s crying as if his heart would break. The thought that this faithful old servant should want to give him the treasure that he had been cherishing, and denying himself for all his life, overpowered him. Many min- utes passed before he was able to speak, but seeineg that the old slave was eagerly await- ing his answer, he respondd in a voice shaken by emotion. Jake this is the greatest tribute that I have ever had paid me in my life, and if you really want to me to take the money, I will promise that Bobby shall be educated with it.” “Corse I wants you to take it, Marse Bob, now my work in dis life am done, and I am gwine to my Father.” With these final words, a smile of contentment spread over the wrinkled old face, and he crossed over to the “other side of the river where his Master stood waiting.” Elizabeth B. Hill. t Published Weekly for Citizens of Hornet’s Nest. « FRIDAY, APRIL 1, 1912. Prominent Citizen Passes Away The entire village was shocked yes- terday to hear of the sad death of Miss Mab Goldfish. Attacked with an acute case of Pipe-tis, she died even before medical assistance could be secured. The departed left behind her a host of loving friends to mourn her loss. She was beautiful and accom- plished, and will be greatly missed in aquarian circles. A fitting memorial will be erected to her memory in Fish cemetery. SERIOUS COLLISION. What may have proven a very dis- astrous accident occurred last night when Miss Laura Watt collided with Sambo in the lower hall. The col- lision attracted a great many of the corridor loafers, and in a few minutes quite a crowd collected. Fortunately for both parties the injuries sustained were slight, and nothing very serious was the outcome. NOTABLE STEP TAKEN BY THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN. At a call meeting of the board of aldermen last night, Mayor Caldwell passed the following ordinance con- cerning the township of Hornet’s Nest: No day pupils, small, large or indif- ferent, are allowed in any of the cor- ridors for anything, however urgent, without the permission of the mayor himself. This ordinance was passed in the hopes that it would check the epi- demic of kleptomania which has been sweeping over the village. All break- ers of said ordinance will be severely dealt with by village authorities. DARING ATTEMPT MADE TO BUR- GLARIZE THE SUITE OF MISSES MORROW AND WHEAT. One of the most daringly planned exploits in the annals of Hornet’s Nest’s history was the one made to enter the suite of Misses Morrow and Wheat last Wednesday night. Curfew had already rung, and with the excep- tion of Miss Elizabeth Hill and Louise Morrow, all the citizens of the village were safely in Dreamland. But these two young ladies, owing to strenuous work on the morrow, were still con- suming the night oil. Hearing footsteps approaching on the fire es- cape, and then on the tin roof, they clutched each other madly, and waited with abated breath the outcome. Imagine their horror, when there ap- peared at the window a live man, one of the largest uncaught. Instead of screaming as usual the young ladies acted very bravely, and without a moment’s hesitation, turned in the burglar alarm. A posse of the vil- lagers was soon raised, and every possible effort was made to capture the wonderfully scarce animal, but in vain. He evidently returned quickly to the depths of his jungle. Any in- formation concerning the affair will be liberally paid for by the village board of detectives. MUSICAL CIRCLES. The Philharmonic Club, recently or- ganized by the musical faculty for the students of music, and all those inter- ested in the subject, has proven en- tirely successful. Meeting every oth- er Saturday night, the club has ren- dered some delightful programs, which have been greatly enjoyed. The club has done much to promote the love of music among the citizens of Hornet’s Nest. Under the auspices of the Philhar- monic Club, Edward Baxter Perry has recently been in our midst, giving a recital of wonderful range. He will be long remembered in musical cir- cles.

High class vaudeville all this week at the Hornet’s Nest private theater. Those attracting special notice are Miss Cornelia Dowd and Miss Louise Morrow. By their clever acting, danc- ing and singing they never fail to make a hit with the audience. The Stinger, April i, 1912. AMUSEMENTS Hornet’s Nest Circuit. The chief attraction at the Hippo- drome this week will be the Wilson- Ehrich Stock Company. This show comes with the highest recommenda- tions, and will no doubt draw a big crowd. Miss Susie Russell will ap- pear as the leading lady, and since her fame has already preceded her, her success along this line is secured. Seats on sale at the cafe. After many large inducements the management of the Hippodrome has at last persuaded Madame Ruth Van- story to include Hornet’s Nest in her tour of the South, where she will ap- pear in grand opera. Everyone should profit by this opportunity of hearing one of the world’s greatest and best singers. She possesses a rich voice and never fails to please. GOOD MANNERS AND GOOD FORM. (Conducted by Miss Culbreth.) R. Vanstory: Is it correct for a girl to take more than a ten cent drink off a boy if he is “broke?” No, frideed, this will tend to make him generous and unselfish. A. Wharton: Is it correct to fall up- stairs or down? Either one is permissible, if done gracefully. R. Harrell: Is it correct to wink at more than one boy at once? Yes, it is all right if the men in question are good looking. L. Brooks: Do you receipt a “Bill” before or after it is paid? Either one will do. A. Rodman: Will I appear more at- tractive to men with my hair straight or curled? By all means straight. Babe Hudson: Is it considered man- nish for a girl to wear shirts? Exceedingly so; break yourself of the habit. L. Morrow—In dancing with a boy is it wrong to put your head on his shoulder? No, indeed, if the dance hall is not too brilliantly lighted. A. Stevens: Please tell me what sort of clothes to take to “Junior jSpeak- ing.” I would advise taking the very plain- est things you have, so as to be pre- pared for emergency E. Murphy: Please give me some idea of the trend of my conversation while at “Junior Speaking.” The weather , church and Sunday School are all good, safe topics. On all occasions avoid personalities. D. Harry: Please tell me if I am too young to leave off my hair rib- bons. Wear them at least until you grad- uate. L. McCubbins: When a young man brings me candy, should I open it and offer him some? No. that would be extravagance. Keep it for the next Sunday during “Meditation.” M. Garrison—Please tell me the cor- rect occasion on which to wear bou- doir caps. They may be fittingly worn for street or afternoon wear and should always match your costume. K. Wilson: In going to the moving pictures, must the girl pay the admis- sion or the boy. I should prefer the girls doing so if they can do it in a quiet, ladylike manne?. SOCIAL CIRCLES. One of the most enjoyable events of the year was the party given the new girls by the literary societies. After a delightful car ride around the village, delicious refreshments were served and everyone spent a delightful evening. Hallow’een also gives vent to many jolly times in the village, and this year proved no exception. At dinner each table was fittingly decorated and spread with Hallow’een dainties. Af- ter the merry feast the dining hall was cleared for action and many games typical of the occasion were indulged in. Mayor Caldwell delightfully enter- tatined the Board of Aldermen by an old time candy pulling last night. Decidedly informal and jolly, the guests spent a most happy evening. Cotillon Club Dance. The first dance of the season was given Saturday night by the village cotillon club. Many couples partici- pated and the occasion was one of great pleasure. f 1 The Stinger, April i, 1912. Beautiful in every way was the Freshman-Junior banquet which was held last Monday night. An annual affair, this occasion is always looked forward to with eager anticipation, and this year, if possible, the oc- casion eclipsed all former affairs. Ap- propriate of the season, the valentine idea was cleverly carried out in all the decorations as well as in the dainty refreshments. Hearts formed the entertainment of the evening, and in the contest the prize, a pair of silk hose, was won by Miss Helen Whisnant. A marriage of widespread interest took place in the village chapel last night when Miss Lottie Kluttz of Chester, S. C., and Mr. L. M. Morrow of Monroe, N. C., were united in the bonds of matrimony. The chapel had been beautifully decorated for the oc- casion and as the many guests were assembling, beautiful organ selections were played by Miss Margaret Woods. To the strains of Mendellsohn’s wed- ding march the bridal party entered as follows: First came the ribbon girls, Misses Chambers, Butt, Dowd, Moore, Carson, Newell and Wharton. Following these came Miss Alexander and Miss Jeffries as flower girls. The bridesmaids and groomsmen next came inthe following order: Mr. L. Brooks and Miss Harwood, Mr. B. King and Miss Stevens, Mr. S. Cans- ler and Miss Mason and Mr. Vanstory and Miss Boyce. Preceding the maid of honor, Miss Beverly Alexander, came Miss Hill as ring-bearer. The bride entered with her father, Mr. M. R. Johnston, and was a picture of youthful beauty. The groom entered with his best man, Mr. A. Herron. The impressive ring ceremony was per- formed by Rev .W. G. Boyd. After the ceremony, a beautifully ap- pointed reception was tendered the bridal party. A delightful stag dinner was given to the men in the party by Mr. A. Herron. PERSONALS. A strict quarantine has been estab- lished in hopes that the epidemic of “restriction” which has been terrifying the village will be checked. Those shut in are: A. Harwood, N. Ehrich, R. Vanstory, Belk, L. Blue, M. Garri- son and M. Hutchison. Miss Mary Johnston has returned after a perilous trip to the city in search of “ads.” Her friends are glad to hear of her safe return. Miss Rena Harrell is resting quietly after the burglar alarm of last night. Her friends are glad to hear of her improved condition. Miss Laura Watt wishes to officially inform the village that she is a candidate for the posi- tion of chief spokesman of the Senior class. Any political “pull” will be greatly appreciated. Miss Maggie Query wishes to call attention to the fact that the Senior class is brilliant, although there is gossip in the village to a different ef- fect. Misses Ellen Peoples and Babe Hudson returned this afternoon after a visit to “Maxime’s” (Jordan’s). Their many friends welcome them back to the village. Miss Lelia Newell wishes to file her application as an expert foil for all Dr. Fisher’s clippings. Misses Lottie Alexander and Mary Nash, who have been suffering from chronic Logic-itis, are reported as im- proving. Miss Anna B. Grier made a safe trip through Physics land yesterday. She reports a charming list of experiences. Miss Irene Wheat, who was severe- ly shocked yesterday over the word Foutuitous, is improving. The Stinger, April i, 1912. BOOK REVIEWS.

Miss Katharine Wilson’s new publi- cation “Finance,” is just out. This book will probably reolutionize the whole financial world, as the author has gone into the matter very deeply Her experience as treasurer of the Senior class, was invaluable to her in the writing of this book. Having just returned from her first trip to Davidson, Miss Katharyne Tay- lor will soon be ready to put on the market a series of her experiences under the title of “Davidson Thrills.” This volume will without doubt be realistic and interesting. Miss Culbreth, after much research work, has at last completed one of the best books on “Etiquette” ever printed. Far reaching and extensive in its field, it will be a perfect God-send to all who are doubtful on matters of good form. The “Evils of Restriction,” by Miss Ruth Vanstory and Antoinette Har- wood, is just out, and is a strong plea for the abolition of restriction in all modern and first class colleges. Miss Susie Russell’s latest book on “Wit and Humor,” completes this list. This book is easily the best of its kind on sale, and it never fails to drive away all worries. Read it!

OSITIVELY the last chance today, ladies and gentlemen, to avail yourselves of the services of the renowned Professor i'how- it all, the famous conductor of parties of interested visitors through the historic halls of this imposing edifice, and never yet has man, woman, or child complained that he didn’t get his money’s worth. Step right up, ladies and gentlemen! That’s right— drop your quarters in Bill’s hat there— satisfaction guaranteed—your money back if you don’t get it. All right! This way, ladies and gentlemen. Ask all the ques- tions you please—that’s included in the contract. Turn to the right and pause here a moment while we view this spacious apart- ment commonly known as the office. Do I hear some one ask what office? That is a question that has long agitated the minds of the young ladies of the college. Some, judging from the great number of arguments and disputes of all kinds that rrc settled here say that the letters on the door formerly read “Lawyer’s Office.” Others say the word is simply an abbreviation of “Pos'.office,” for here the students purchase daily hundreds of stamps and dozens of envelopes, which they use in writing home to their parents- But we must pass on. Turn to the left here and follow me down this hall. The rooms before you com- prise what is officially known as the Infirmary, but might more fitly be called a shelter in a 1 line of Storm. Causes for seeking refuge in this quiet retreat are many, tests, heart- disease, and five pound boxes of Deadley’s choco- lates a few of the best known. Let us retrace our steps through the hall and pause for a moment at the door of the Library. The young ladies you see within have secured permission to study in the Library, as they have work to be done which requires the use of reference books. You can see how deeply interested they are in their tasks from the incessant and animated conversation which they are carrying on about their work. It is quite a tribute to the intellectuality of the students that they have voted the library the most popular-er loafing place in the college. This ladies and gentlemen, is the Dining Room. The Dining Room course is second in importance to none in the curriculum. When a student has taken it for four years she is guaranteed to have the self-control of a martyr, the temper of an angel and the digestion of an ostrich. The Dining Room motto is: “None But the Brave Could Eat the Fare.” This large room is the Gym. No, Madam, not J-i-m—G-y-m. It is one of the most useful and adaptable places imaginable. It can be used for a banquet hall or ball room, and has even been trans- formed into a surprising likeness to the lower regions on society initiation nights. The only objection which the students have to this useful place is that the faculty, for some reason that has never yet been ex- plained, seem to think that it should be used every day, and as it is unreasonable to expect the young ladies to give banquets and dances every day, the faculty have selected one of their number to invent all kinds of strange and even dangerous stunts which they force the students to perform in the Gym. every day. Naturally this makes the Gym. quite unpopular. Just to the right we see the Y W. C. A. hall (said by some irreverant spirits to mean You Won’t Come Again; but that is base libel—if you go once they never let you go free again) - This piano which you see here in the corner is the one that Mrs. Noah had in the ark Unfortunately, Shem left the window open one day and the rain blew in and washed off all the varnish, and the goat got loose and ate one of the pedals, but in spite of these unlucky accidents it is still a valuable instrument and is highly prized by the college authorities. And now just one more thing remains to be seen before this interesting tour is over. You have perhaps wondered at the round openings in the floors of the second and third stories of this building. Notice that they are surrounded by railing to prevent the students from playfully pushing one another over the edge. This, ladies and gentlemen, is the Rotunda, designed by a thoughtful and kind-hearted faculty, so that the young ladies who may unfortunately chance to be restricted while any college festivity is in progress, rnay have the privilege of looking down upon th gaieties below even while prevented from participating in them. What? Where, madam? Oh! No need for alarm there, my dear madam, that is only a teacher on duty. She is a kind of—well, we might say watch- dog, whose business it is to see that nobody disturbs the young ladies who are trying to study. Don’t be alarmed, she is quite harmless. And now, ladies and gentlemen, we have reached the end of our journey. We are sure you feel sufficiently repaid for the time and money expended. This way to the door! Good morning, ladies and gentlemen! Don’t forget to recommend us to your friends. Oo Mtrs. from ena Ufarrell Fairest of all fair beings, To what shall I liken pou. To a perfect, pure white rosebud.
