Chicora College for Women - Nods and Becks Yearbook (Columbia, SC)

Text from Pages 1 - 210 of the 1925 volume:

The Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Five Presents Volume Eight °f Nods and Becks The Annual of Chicora College for Women Columbia :: South Carolina The curtain rises. The time is 1924-’25. The setting is our Chicora. The students are not fictitious. Across the stage there flit familiar faces, for the characters are drawn from life. They tell of loves, and pleasures, and friendship bonds that are everlasting. The play itself is old-yet ever new. The incidents rarely change-the set¬ tings never. Yet the characters are ever changing and as old ones pass from off the stage new ones take their place. We have often been told that P. C, is our brother college. We will admit that some of the students are our brothers; others perhaps-and it is to these brothers real or “otherwise” that we dedicate this volume. h Nods and Becks Staff Mary Cartledge .

W e have shared each others joys and Helped each others burdens — We have loved each other — For loves own sake. We gaze beyond the threshold, falteringly — With dread and hesitancy: The strong bond will soon be rendered — We shall lose sight of each other — And our friendship will become less intact. Today one journey is ended Yet another begun — One that will bear us out upon a wide sea — Sometimes calm, sometimes stormy But inevitably beyond the range of each other! Class of ' 25 ! Let us beware of the rocky coasts, Let us combat the storms, courageously. Let us become good sailors, Joyous, daring inured to hardships. And in time we shall reach The land of our Desires!

Everywhere you find a crowd of girls around a piano you may be sure Carrie is the center of the group. When one is hungry Carrie always has a piece of bread or some candy to donate. She is indeed, the sweet¬ est, nicest, finest girl there is. She always has a pleasant word for ev¬ erybody. When it comes to the men, Carrie does not bother. She likes to have a big time, but “Fickleness, thy name is Carrie!” When Carrie leaves she will take away much of the charm of Chicora, and as long as there is a Chicora, Carrie’s name will ring down its cor¬ ridors. There will always be a big place in all our hearts for you that no one else can fill. Best wishes, Amaker, love and—Say, Carrie, play “Let Me Call You Sweetheart.” IN M M Twenty-One how popular she is, and so lively and witty! She is second only to Robinson Crusoe in her ability to make a dead place live. Gladys must be a descendant of Robin Hood. She’s the outlaw of our class. She’s just as sly as old Robin, too, for the com¬ mittee hasn t caught her breaking a rule yet. She’s the most law abid¬ ing outlaw we know. Gladys will surprise us all some day; she will either become a famous actress, or like Eve, she will be the only woman in the world for a cer¬ tain man. Here’s to you, Gladys! If we ever got blue, which none of us do, we’d all have to turn to you. GLADYS ARMSTRONG, IS.A. Gastonia. N. C.

In every class you find a girl whom nature has especially gifted— who has received more than the or¬ dinary share of charm and clever¬ ness. Such a girl is Gladys. She plays star basketball; sbe has an in¬ exhaustible supply of pep; and, ah, she is so pretty and attractive that we are almost afraid to let our sweet¬ hearts see her very often; also she has just the right amount of that elu¬ sive charm, indifference. If Gladys could put some of the pep which she shows on the basketball field into her studies, we would soon have to organize a Phi Reta Kappa Chapter in college. The fact that Gladys has been voted the most attractive girl for three years in succession shows TwentyTwo 2 ZJL2SZ JSandBGC S fun, romance, sentiment and friend¬ liness all prompted by a great big sympathetic and understanding heart. This description might lead you to think that Agnes never has time to worry about her own troubles and to tell the truth she does not find very much time. But Agnes has one very serious perplexity, and the only so¬ lution we see for it is to take a trip to “The Land of the Rising Sun.” Agnes, “the top of the morning to you.” AGNES BLAKE, B.A. Anderson, S.

We beg to con¬ test that for truly the Gods were good to Nannell. They must have planned her in detail— they were so accurate. The first thing they gave her was beauty, and when she was chosen as the prettiest girl in school no one was surprised. Then follow an innumerable list of enviable traits. If we want to see a real basketball game, we go to one in which Nannell takes part; and if we want to see some spectacular jumping—we watch Nannell during track season. Nannell has other virtues. She is no one’s “dumb bell.’ She makes ijuite a showing as a young intellect¬ ual, and her frequent visits to town prove that she does not study all the time. Nannell has still other enviable traits. She has popularity. Tier rare combination of fun, frankness, sin¬ cerity and friendliness has won her a place in the hearts of every girl — but sad news young men! alas, she is already “Stamped!” Twenty-Four m l n ■ f ■ ) M s $ s Those of us who can claim Laura as our friend are indeed fortunate, because if she likes some one, she does; but if she doesn’t—well you had just better look out, that’s all. She is like an Indian in that respect. Anyone that knows Laura at all has heard all about her frequent week-end visits to Clinton—and we have found out the attraction is not the town alone. “To see her is lo love her. To love but her forever. For nature made her what she is. And never made another! LAURA NELSON BOYD. B.A. Creeleyville, S. C.

This is where she leads us all. In her Fresh¬ man year she won the scholarship medal, and she has never broken her good record since that time. Possibly, however, we are laying too much stress upon her scholastic standing, for we all know that Laura is fond of a good time as well as any of us. Loving, cheerful, studious, honest, capable, and kind—that‘s Laura. When we need advice or help of any kind, we always know where to find it, because Laura is ever ready and willing to lend a helping hand. Twenty-Five BERNICE BROWN. B.A. Greenville, S. C.

She is keenly awake to everything about her, but rather reserved in manner. She is a good sport and wonderful company to have either at a formal reception or a camp fire supper. She enjoys life to the fullest extent and when something goes wrong she covers it with a smile. Her favorite quotation is, “to ere is human, but to forgive divine. As president of the Palla¬ dian Literary Society and Business Manager of the Chicora Magazine she has shown herself capable of mak¬ ing a success in the business world. Like all girls, she has plenty of Will but a kind heart to balance her will. You can never know what she will do, but you may be sure that she will be true to her trust, it may truly be said, “to know her is to love her.’ She is one upon whom the world may look and exclaim, “indeed a lady!” Twenty-Six Nods„n„Dechs ’ ' ' MARY PHEBE BUSH, B.A. Ellen ton, S.

Mary Phebe calls herself the original landmark at Chicora. Perhaps a better word would be corner stone. II we want to know anything that ever happened at Chicora or any one who ever came here, we consult Mary Phebe. not that she has been compelled to stay here so many years in order to get through. Oh, no! Mary Phebe has n o lack in her mental powers, and the way she parley-voos is quite re¬ markable. She first came to Chicora to enter the Academy. Mary Phebe’s virtues are many. She plays basketball like a veteran, and during track season we watch her jumping with both envy and pride. Another thing about Mary Phebe is she makes regular wall flowers out of the other girls at every dance she attends. She can’t help that though. She is a friend of all. and that one trait is to be envied. In summing up Mary Phebe’s virtues we have to include a long list of adjectives, fun-loving, gig¬ gling, friendly, capable, frank, sincere, and all-around, and oh, yes! she is often called “cute” if you know what that is. May Mary Phebe always be able to meet life with her ever-ready good humor and smile. Indeed “by these ye shall know her.” They are her trade marks.

When a capable editor of the annual was needed none other was thought of than Mary; when the students of Chi¬ cora decided to adopt the best song possible for our Alma Mater, of course Mary wrote the winning lines; when the Seniors won the cup in bas¬ ketball, Mary played center; and when a body wants to feel like life’s worth living, a visit is paid to Mary. The college statistics for two years have proved that Mary was the most college-spirited girl we had. We were deprived of voting Mary in our sta¬ tistics one year as she attended Mary¬ ville College before realizing the ad¬ vantages of Chicora. Wherever you go, Mary, success will certainly follow you and you will always carry the love and admi¬ ration of your schoolmates with you. T wenty-Eight Nods BacHs EVA CLARKE, B.A. Estill, S. C.

Through the years she climbed up to lead the Seniors. Eva is the kind of girl you will never forget, and the best friend anyone could ever hope to have. Her jovial disposition has brought her manv friends, and it is seldom she is seen without a smile on her lace. Above all she is a “good sport.” Eva played on the Varsity basketball team her first three years, but she was unavoidably prevented from holding this place her fourth year. She was our cap¬ tain for two years. She was always to be depended on. She was captain of our class team her Freshman year and our manager her Junior year. Eva also took part in track. She holds first place in basketball and discus throws. After leading us as our Class President, we well see how she deserves the honor of being selected “The Grandest Senior ' lour most popular girl). Eva. it has been a pleasure to have had you in our class and to have been with you our four years, and as we pari let the members of the Class of 25 wish you all kinds of success in everything that you undertake in the future.

This dainty, graceful little lassie is one of our most beloved day students, and io be a day student in Columbia is enough to arouse the envy of everybody at Chicora. But that is not the only reason we envy Mildred; she is a rare character who seems to be an all round girl, sweet, mod 3st and lovable. She can study, and en¬ joy it;she is pretty,--and doesn’t know it; she is an athlete, and doesn ' t mind prac¬ tice! We all wish she had been here in the dormitory with us, for she is the kind that is an addition to a family! If you should ask me. I would say she would make a good pal to travel through life with. She usually has the appearance of being quiet, calm and poised,—one might even think she was a bit shy but don ' t fool yourself; you would certainly change your opinion if you happened to be a forward m an opposing basketball team when Mil¬ dred attempted to get the ball! She’s shy when she wants to be! Chicora will miss you. Mildred, and it is with regret that we bid you farewell. Once your friend, always your friend. From the beginning to the end.

Twice she lias been voted The Best Athlete” and she well deserves this. Not only do we find May in the athletics � f the college. She is good everywhere. Her average in class work has been good throughout her college course. When one first meets May, she may ap¬ pear a little reserved, but given time she is found to be a most friendly and attract¬ ive personality. She is always ready for fun. Her f riendship is most valuable be¬ cause of her high ideals and pure thoughts. May insists that she is going to the Foreign Fields. We hate to lose you. May, but we wish you great success and if you make your new acquaintances as happy as you make us, we can look for none other than success for you. MARY AGNES DANTZLER, B.A. Orangeburg, S. C.

We cannot say that she is talkative, but her sweet smile and gentle ways speak for her and before she had been long within Chicora s walls she had won her way into the hearts of all. However, it soon appeared that those at Chicora were not to be selfish with this treas¬ ure, for Carolina manifested a lively interest at once, and constant letters from Texas and Tennessee proved that even in those distant parts of the land some were not oblivious to those charms which won for her the honor of being Chicora’s prettiest girl during her Junior year. But with all this popularity Evelyn did not neglect the more serious side of college life. She gave her best and the best came back to her. Whatever path she may choose in life (she claims it will be that of a school teacher, but we have our doubts) we are sure that it will lead her to suc¬ cess. However, that does not make it any easier for us to part with her. We are only consoled by knowing that with her once a friend always a friend. Thirty-Three one can ever fill her place in our hearts. She has always been a dear friend to all Freshmen, cheerfully giving aid to the needy ones. She has been set up by the whole school as an ideal well worth anyone striving to imitate. “Speedy,” we will watch your pro¬ gress with interest. We are expect¬ ing great things of you and we know we won’t he disappointed. You have our best wishes for a most successful life, and our love goes with you always. LYDIA M. GLOVER. B.Mcs.

' ‘A big heart always wishing to do right and be friends with every body’ Here’s to Verna, who hails from Orangeburg! We all love her, for she is the same toward every ore at all times. Always in a good humor, with a smile she meets everyone, and with a sunny sweet disposition she goes about her college duties. She has been a good student and a good sport throughout her college career. Verna has a good practical head for business in handling money, for she has been treasurer of her class. of the Christian Endeavor, and busi¬ ness manager of the “Nods and Becks” for ’25. In athletics Verna has taken part, too, by playing on her class basket¬ ball team for three years. And in track, too, she has won fame as a runner. We congratulate her on managing the Varsity Track Team as well as she did this last year. Verna, we wish for you, as you go out into the world, success in any¬ thing you undertake, whether it he as a teacher of a class or of ONE. Thirty-File LEORA HUNTER, B.A, Laurens, S. C.

She is quiet and unobtrusive, lovable, though independent. It ' s up to you if you are a friend in need ' ,, for here is, without doubt, a friend indeed ! She is never too busy to be interested in every¬ thing that comes her way, although in her Senior year she seems to he too busy to use her long coveted Senior privileges; however, that may be because she used them all up in her Junior year! English is her favorite study; we do not know whether that is because only the great poets are able to express her lofty ideals of “love” or whether it is because they give her inspiration to pen her own thoughts in rhyme and meter. However, she maintains the right to choose her own critic! If you are looking for a compact with mischief, fun, sincerity, love, intelligence, unselfishness and independence all in one box, just ask anybody from Chicora or from Laurens, S.

Leora, dear classmate, your unselfishness has been one of the rarest treasures of your class. Your motto must surely be “me last.

One thing is forever good That one thing is success’ Mary Jarman is a shining example of the girl who possesses ability and gladly offers what she has to the world. Her accom¬ plishments are many and she does not hide her light under a bushel. Mary is evidently an advocate of the theory that “you never can tell till you ' ve tried em’„ especially in regard to colleges, for at one time or another in her young life she has attended the Woman’s College of Due West Winthrop, Atlanta Conserva¬ tory of Music and Agnes Scott. But we are very glad that she finally chose Chicora as her Alma Mater and saw fit to cast her lot with the class of ’25. In her one and only year at Chicora, she not only demonstrated her ability, but has entered actively into various phases of college life. The Glee Club has profited greatly by her talent, for besides being ac¬ complished for the troupe, she composed l he clever grand oper burlesque, “Luci del ..awnmower,” presented so successfully by the Club. Here we must add two more to her list of accomplishments, for in her presentation of the role of Aunty Prohib” she exhibited extraordinary histronic and terpsichorean skill. A pianist, singer, flutist, actress, libret¬ tist and conductor! It is indeed difficult to find Mary’s equal in musical talent. In the classroom she has also ranked with the leaders. W ithal, she is very human, pos¬ sesses a charming nonchalance, and is quite plain spoken. Well fortified with unusual ability, a distinctive personality, and a strong character, she departs from college halls for a future that promises glowing success. Thirty-Seven loneliness. There is never a touch of artifice in her manner. She knows just what she wants to say and just how to say it. She never asks lor any¬ thing; she always gives. May life re- llect the happiness she gives a hu - dred fold. Frances reluctantly leaves her Alma Mater, hut she says she does not intend to sit idly by and “turn the wheels of memory with a linger¬ ing touch ol sentiment,” for she is planning to become a teacher of bare¬ foot boys and comely lassies. How¬ ever, we fear that Prince Charming will interfere to say he wants “A- Little-Bit-’O- Love.” FRANCES HEMPHILL LOVE, B.A. McConnellsville, S. C.

Her contemplative gaze with its fixed, abstracted quality, her sweel face her tender, radiant smile, her soft voice, all are irresistible. We like to be with her; to talk with her; to work with her. We enjoy her silence. She has a tender sympathy and a calm understanding which enables her easily to adapt herself to the changing moods and emotions of her companions.

We shall not forget the picture she leaves with us: “Arid still the sweet hall-solemn look tt ' here some past thought is clinging. As when one shuts a serious book To hear the thrushes singing.’’ _ Doris has not entered as whole-heartedly as she might into Chicora’s athletic activi¬ ties. However, I suppose we must over look this for the following reason: while all the other day students ride to from school in their limousines, Doris faithfully trudges the long distance there and back twice every day. The zenith of this popular Senior’s ca¬ reer was reached when she sang the title role of Luci de Lawnmower in the Glee Club ' s Grand Opera. Here after in Co¬ lumbia ' s theatrical circles events will date from that night that thousands packed the Imperial to hear Mile. Dolores Cappricioso sing the part of the demented Luci. In short, well say with Governor Mc¬ Leod that we think Doris is a CAPITOL girl. Forty DORIS ELIZABETH PRICE. B.Mus. Columbia, S. C.

For two years she has piloted the Glee Club over rough and stormy seas, at times it seemed that the organization would go on the rocks, but Doris held fast at the helm and proved herself a Manager the Metro¬ politan should be glad to call its own.

Although she is from “the North”, she is a typical Southern girl who does not believe in giving a fellow 1 “the cold shoul¬ der.” Thyra is a conscientous and perse¬ vering student, always ready and glad to shoulder her portion of the burden of the class and to share in its mirth and fun. She is one of whom it can be truly said her friends are numbered by her acquaintances; her sterling character and disposition are such that they attract and draw you nearer to her. When you come to know her, you realize that you have a friend to whom you can con¬ fide your troubles and anxieties, knowing her sincere sympathy will help you. Courteous, friendly, loyal, and sincere are the attributes of this daughter of Chicora. We know that you are going to succeed, Thyra, and our class will follow your success with interest.

Elizabeth is certainly a good illus¬ tration. She joined us this year, and we are sorry not to have had her all four years. We are wondering how such a little girl managed to find her way from Louisiana out here, hut, we are proud of our “foreigner.” Although Elizabeth is the smallest girl in our class, do not think for one minute that her intellect corresponds, for she is a good student. In the short while that we have known Elizabeth we have found that she is a regular sport, a loyal classmate, and a sincere friend. She is always in a good humor, and ready to have fun, but, she can he serious, too, when necessary, and you would he surprised to hear how she can argue her point.

That same wind must have blown through Georgia when that same little girl, grown up, was choosing a college that would be her Alma Mater. If it were possi¬ ble for the class of 25 to know who the god of that wind is, they would feed him nectar and ambrosia. Margaret has the reputation throughout the school of being bru¬ tally frank. Many may say that she is too free with her criticism at limes, but those who know her best love her and value her sincerity. Just as all girls have or would like to have, Margaret has an interest outside Chicora’s classrooms, and this interest is still within the bounds of a western (Weston) school room. Wherever you may go, Margaret, you have the good wishes of the class with which you have cast your lot.

How about making them put on a dandy show, the kind ail aspiring rats ought to be able to give? MARY PHEBE: Now you’re talking! I know two or three who stand in distressing need of severe discipline. We’ll show them pretty soon what’s what, and who’s who and who’s not who! We believe in starting them off right from the beginning at this place, don’t we? Nobody’s going to pull off any lachrymose homesick, crybaby business around here! Nothing like that ever happened when we were rats!

Do you remember what a monstrous, stupen¬ dous, colossal job 1 thought I had when I was first given the honor and responsibility of being president of the dearest, grandest class that ever got together? Why, I felt that a mill stone had been hung around my neck and that all I could do and think about from sun rise till sunset would be, “How can I get them out of this difficulty? What can I do to encourage them to win their laurels? But my! 1 didn ' t dream of such co-operation, such willingness to do their very best, such class spirit and loyalty! It has been a pleasure to lead a class like ours. AGNES: Eva. I ve been thinking tonight, here on the eve of our graduation, of the first of this year, too. We have both had responsibility and a tremendous charge to keep. I was frightened, almost overcome when it was first given me. But Eva. ole dear don’t you remember whom you and 1 asked to lead us as we attempted to lead others at the very beginning of this year? I feel now that 1 have not been responsible for this glorious last year at old Chicora except real¬ izing the promise, “I can do all things through Christ who strengtheneth me.” Now, perhaps, since listening in” to these chips of conversation, those of you who read this history will have actually become acquainted with our class as individual girls, and will be more sympathetic listeners as we try to sum up in brief the remainder of our class history. To go back to our first year; perhaps our most worthy achievement then was to get in” at Chicora. to take our oath of love and allegiance to our beloved Alma Mater; to come to the realization that whatever betide, with Chicora we ll live, with Chicora we ' ll die.” We started out boldly and courageously in our Sophomore year. It is true that some in the class could not muster up sufficient courage to attempt another winter after the dreadful siege of “Rat Year,” however, their places were not left vacant, because, as Clvicora’s call to arms re¬ sounded through the hills of North Carolina and on down through Alabama and South Carolina, three more brave warriors joyously volunteered their service to the blue and white with regement twenty-five. They were none other than Mary Cartledge, Frances Love and Lawrence Wyly. This was the year we beat the Seniors in basketball; in fact we won the coveted class cup which we have successfuly fought for and “guarded” ever since. The most memorable occasion to us in this year was our introduction to psychology.—That ' s a long, tragic, but “live-happy-ever-after history in itself. (If you are interested, any member in the class will be glad to relate it to you in detail.) Of course, the most notable occasion to be remembered in our Junior year was the Junior- Senior banquet. It is indeed historical that our Junior-Senior banquet was so much better than previous Junior-Senior banquets that there was no comparison. We were on the front line when the historical picture was taken at the laying of the corner stone at Columbia Hall at new Chicora and will indeed take pleasure in pointing it out to our great, great grand children. We believe we made an excellent beginning our Senior year, as on the very first day we an¬ nexed three new lovable classmates, Elizabeth Stewart, Mary Jarman and Cornelia Summer. 01 course, we could write a whole book on the history of the Senior class; but our class does not wish to assume the haughty air of braggarts; besides we believe actions speak louder than words.” Now the knell is slowly pealing for our departure, and the little unsophisticated, grass-green rats of four short years ago stand before you now. old and ugly, dignified and mournful in ancient black scholastic robes and caps significant of the toil of four strenuaus years. We are ready now to leave these protecting old walls and enter into life s battles alone and independently. We have made a valiant fight, we have finished our course and now we reluctantly bid our dear Alma Mater farewell. Good luck to ' 26; ’25 departs. Lawrence Wyly, Historian i - i ( M i ■ ■ K i $ Fifty-Nine Senior Class Prophecy I was seated idly gazing through the window when I heard a newsboy’s piercing cry of “Extra! Extra! All about Fogle’s great invention!” Fogle! Could it be my old classmate, Mary Fogle? I knew that she had been connected with Thomas Edison in the latter years of his life, but I had understood that it had been in the capacity of pri¬ vate secretary. Since she had left Edison, however, I had lost trace of her. I leaned from the window and called for a paper. Unfolding it quickly this is what I saw: “Mary Fogle Invents Radio-vision; Greatest Invention Since Radio; Miss Fogle Now Recognized as Successor of Thomas Edison.” The article covered practically the entire front page. Mary’s invention was a won¬ derful attachment to the Radio, by means of which we might not only talk with our friends, no matter where they were, but we might see them as well! But this was not the only surprise. Near the end of the article I read that Miss Bernice Brown, one of the nation’s leading business women, would have charge of the marketing of this wonderful invention and that the Radio-Vision would be on sale on the 19th of May, The 19th of May? There was something familiar about that date—what was it? Then suddenly it came to me—the 19th of May would mark the tenth anniversary of cur graduation from old Chicora! It was hard to realize that ten years had really passed since that eventful day. I wondered where the others of the Class of ’25 were and what they were doing. And when I thought of Mary’s invention! By means of it I would be able to see each of them. How wonderful that would be! I could scarcely wait for the 19th of May to arrive. When the day for the sale of the Radio-Vision came I hurried to the nearest elec¬ trical store and purchased one. At home again I arranged a white screen, similar to that of the moving picture screen, upon one wall and attached the Radio-Vision to the Radio- at the opposite side of the room. Then 1 began turning the dials of the Radio, with my eye intent upon the screen, wondering which of my classmates would be the first to appear. At first the image upon the screen was very faint and rather blurred, hut as I turned the dial a little more the image of a great opera house, brilliantly lighted ap¬ peared upon the screen. A flashing electric sign above the building told me that this was the Metropolitan Opera House. Then a smaller sign appeared upon which was these words: “First Appearance in America of Doris McDowell, the World’s Greatest Soprano, and Carrie Amaker, the World’s Greatest Pianist” I was wondering who Doris McDowell might be when the screen shifted and I saw a man and a woman in a handsomely furnished apartment. They both seemed familiar but I could not place them until I heard the man call the woman Doris; then I realized that Doris McDowell was none other than our Doris Price, with her name changed! I wished I might speak to her, but I noticed that the Radio in their apartment was not attached; so I knew it would be useless. Then as Doris and her husband faded from the screen I caught a glimpse of a beautiful suite in one of New York’s most famous—as well as most expensive—hotels. A beautiful woman was seated at the dressing table with her hack to me. The rooms were filled with flowers and a French maid was arranging the woman’s hair. Just then she turned her head to speak to the maid and I saw that it was Carrie Amaker, dressing for her appearance at the Metropolitan Opera House. f i - i m i ■ S ■ i m i m l i ■ i ■ s M l If N o d s andD a !2SJ2 X : !v The next scene was of a large gymnasium. A group of girls in gym uniforms stood in the center of the room talking and laughing a little to one side. I saw two familiar figures, also in athletic costumes, one was idly dribbling a basketball while the other talked to her earnestly. They were May and Eva, and I gathered from their con¬ versation that they were coaching the National Woman’s Basketball team which was to meet the French and English National teams at the Olympic Games the following year. I have no fear of the result with two such coaches for our team. As the scene faded and the next appeared I saw that Nannell, too, was still devot¬ ed to Athletics, for she was gazing fondly at a big man in football uniform. Several trunks were in the room, and it was evident that they were to take a trip cff some kind. Then as they talked I learned that on the morrow they were to sail for England, as Nannell’s husband was a member of the All-American Football Team, which was soon to play the English Team for the World’s Championship. The next scene showed me Mary Cartledge seated at a desk in a luxurious private office. She was dictating rapidly to her secretary and the sign on the door told me, that she was Editor-in-Chief of one of New York’s daily paper. Before the scene faded I noticed upon her desk a volume of poems which she had just published. I almost screamed as an aeroplane doing a tail-spin appeared upon the screen. After the tail-spin, a loop-the-loop, then a nose dive, and many other daring stunts were performed. I wondered which of my classmates could be this daring aviator. Then as I watched a figure appeared upon the wing of the plane and proceeded to per¬ form the most amazing and daring stunts. Presently the plane glided smoothly to the ground, and as the aviator stepped out I recognized Leora Hunter, and the daring stunt-performer was Mary Phebe Bush. They had just completed a tour of Europe where they had performed before Kings and Princes and were generally acceded to be the most daring and skillful women aviators in the world. Much to my surprise a courtroom now appeared upon the screen. The trial was evidently a famous one for the room was crowded. Yes, I recognized now that this was the United States Supreme Court in session. As I glanced at the Judges whom should I recognize as one of them but Verna Hill. I was so surprised over this discovery that for a few minutes I did not notice that the two lawyers were also two of my classmates. One was Margaret Woodson, the other Carrie Yarbrough. They were in a heated argument and just as the scene changed the Judge pounded on the desk for order in the Court. Next appeared a crowded auditorium and at first I could not see what was going on; then I saw that it was a boxing match of some kind. Over the door of the audito¬ rium was a sign which announced that L. Boyd was to meet the present woman’s featherweight champion of the world. After the glimpse I had of the fight I was not surprised to read in the paper the following day that Laura is now featherweight cham¬ pion of the world. The beautiful house which now appeared on the scene I immediately recognized as the Wimberly Mansion in my old home town of St. Matthews. Several gardeners were at work on the beautiful grounds. As I watched a familiar figure appeared on the spacious veranda and spoke to one of the gardeners. I knew that she must be the mistress of this beautiful place; and as she turned so that I saw her face, I recognized Minnie Zimmerman, as handsome as ever and faultlessly gowned. She seemed to be expecting visitors for she kept gazing down the driveway. Presently a large limousine of an expensive make, with a liveried chauffeur at the wheel rolled down the drive and stopped at the steps. I heard a familiar voice call “Hey, Min!” before I saw who the occupants were. As the speaker stepped down I saw that she was none other than my old friend, Gladys Armstrong. But wait, some one else is getting out of the car, yes, as I expected Minnie speaks to him as “Bill” and I gather from the talk that Bill and Gladys are spending a short vacation in the South, after which they will return to the large Northern city .where Bill occupies the pulpit of one of the leading churches. Sixty-One H The next scene was in China. Who of my classmates could be in this far away land? As I looked a door of a rather large house opened and a tall woman in American dress stepped out. A Coolie came up with a jinrikisha into which the woman stepped, and was rolled slowly away. As she passed through the streets she received much at¬ tention and the natives all seemed to love her. As the jinrikisha stopped before a beautiful little house with a mass of chrysanthemums blooming in the yard and the woman stepped down, I recognized Agnes Blake. She was considered one of the most influential missionaries in this great land. j 7 1 i I 0 U ' y m Then the Oriental scene changed and I was back again in America in Hollywood! As I looked I saw a great moving picture studio. Many actors and actresses were standing idle; a few were in the midst of a scene which was being filmed by numerous cameras and from every angle these actors and actresses seemed to ' be the stars. As I obtained a closer view of them I saw that the actresses were two of the prettiest girls in the class of ’25—Lydia Glover and Evelyn Fowler. They were both stars receiving enormous salaries. Evelyn was married to one of the wealthiest producers in the busi¬ ness. Lydia, however, was still single but there were certain rumors in which her name was linked by some, with that of a great merchant prince of the land and by other with that of the secretary of the navy. She was using as her stage name her old nickname of “Speedy.” As this scene faded, I saw a quaint and charming little tea shop in old New Orleans. It was the most attractive I had ever seen and 1 seemed to be very prosperous for it was quite crowded. As I looked to see who could own this charming little place I saw Mildred Crawley and Frances Love. I wondered how they had strayed so far from old Carolina. Next there appeared a handsomely furnished studio apartment in Greenwich village. The two girls who occupied this apartment were artistically and strikingly dressed and as the scene became clearer, I recognized Della McWilliams and Thyra Reed. They both seemed very much excited and from their conversation I learned that they were entertaining that afternoon for the famous historian, Lawrence Wyly, who had just completed her “History of Mankind.” Again the scene changed, and I saw a crowded theater. A man was making an announcement which seemed to be of intense interest to the audience and presently, as his voice became distinct, I, too was interested. He was announcing that the trio of Simpson, Simpson and Robertson, famous throughout Europe as well as America, would appear that night. The Simpson Sisters were accomplished toe dancers as well as skilled musicians, one playing violin and the other the saxophone. Eugenia Robertson played the piano accompaniment for the dancing of the sisters as well as many special numbers. Now the scene shifted again and I saw the front of an exclusive shop in Fifth Avenue. Many fashionably dressed women were entering the shop. A sign above the door stated that Madame Jarman would hold her spring fashion show. Already at this early hour the shop was crowded with New York’s leading society women. Madame Jarman, whom I recognized as Mary Jarman of the old Chicora days, was telling the gathering that although she had brought many beautiful models from Paris, she considered Elizabeth Stewart and Cornelia Summers, two American girls, her leading as well as most beautiful models. These girls had won many beauty contests in this country and had been models for many famous artists before they had become Madame Jarman’s models. The screen became blank and I realized that I had had a glimpse into the life of each and every one of the class of ’25. Truly the inventions of man—and of woman, too, are marvelous.

Representative Junior Class History In September of 1922, a great event occurred on this side of the Atlantic when seventy-one homes bade adieu to girls in their teens who were leaving to add to the verdant hues of the Chicora gardens. For the first few weeks the weather seemed cloudy, the atmpsohere very humid near any of our class, and everything appeared blue to us. However, things became brighter when the state fair took place which made us for¬ get home, Chicora, and sad to say, the rules and regulations. During this year, Susie Caldwell who was our efficient president, tried with the aid of the Central Committee to teach us right from wrong while Miss Godbold struggled with the still greater problem of teaching us right from left. But just as green leaves change their tints in the fall, so did the Freshmen of ’22 lose their greenness by the fall of ’23, and we realized how wonderful it was to be Sophmores and to know everything. For the first few weeks we led a life of luxury and gave the Freshmen an introductory course in Home Economics by allowing them to tidy our rooms for us. But when the first term examinations came, we began to doubt the veracity of the term “wise sophs”; and Psychology made many of us realize the presence of a nervous system. Our athletic record this year was good, as five of our members made varsity and others proved in track that they were not too sophisticated to jump, one of them breaking the city record. At the close of this year we introduced a new custom by entertaining the seniors with a garden party and allow¬ ing them to regain their youth by participating in many childish games. Margaret Love proved such a capable president during our Sophmore year that we again chose her to he our leader. But our class had dwindled down to only thirty- two Juniors. Cupid proved responsible for many vacancies while some left us to enter another educational realm as “school ma ' ams.” Almost any week of our Junior year could see groups selling everything from ice cream cones to “hot dogs” in order to make our Junior-Senior the “best yet.” May, 1926, and commencement still seems to he in the distant future but we have learned this year what work really is. May we prove worthy of the privileges and merits that we hope to obtain next year as Seniors.

ACT 1 The front of Chicora College. The Senior stands by the door, a welcoming smile on her face. The Junior and Sophomore hang over the banisters expectantly as a Yellow Cab drives up and stops at the gate. Out falls a straw suit case, followed by a box of soda crackers, an umbrella and a girl, evidently the Freshman. ACT 11 SCENE I The same scene a year later. A Yellow Cab drives up and stops. The driver alights, sets a shiny new patent leather hat box on the curbing and opens the cab door. A sophisticated lady of fashion steps out and saunters up the walk. When the front door opens and the Juniors rushes out, she looses some of her dignity and rushes to meet her. They fall into each other’s arms. The Sophmore, last year’s Freshman, has arrived! SCENE II A week later, in the Sophmore Court. The Sophmore, dressed as a judge, is seated behind a desk littered with legal looking papers. The jury sits on the judge’s left and a marshal stands by the door. The crowded court room is in a hubbub. The judge raps for order. The marshal opens the door and ushers in the trembling Freshman. SCENE III The psychology class room during January examinations. Dr. Chapin writes hurriedly on the blackboard: 1. II), a,b,c,—et celra. The Sophmore reads the questions desperately seizes a pen, scribbles frantically and disgustedly throws it down again—sans ink, sans brain, sans mark, sans everything!

T v TT r Nods and Dccfts pr Eighty-Three jJF ( s an d Dec s Freshman Class History It was with both dread and thrills that we, the Freshmen of ’24 ap¬ proach Chicora s portals on that fateful day, September sixteenth. On entering we were cordially welcomed by Dr. and Mrs. Byrd and by the old girls, especially the wise Sophmores who really believed in the old saying “Spare the rod and spoil the child.” It is indeed strange to say that the wise “Sophs” found it necessary to identify us with green bows since our every act labeled us. But the signifi¬ cance of these bows was greater than we dreamed of, for our failure to wear them caused us to be brought before the Sophomore Court and the stern Judge Wannamaker. Words cannot express the feelings that we experienced at this moment; and if we had not heard that tune so touching to the heart of every Freshman, we heard it then, for our knees knocked to the tune of “Home Sweet Home.” Much to our joy was the fact that the authority of the “Sophs” soon ceased to frighten us, for we had at last lost some of our verdancy and had acquired at least a “wee bit” of prudence. Then began tbe jollly good times, the many parties given by the upper classmen, at which we were honored guests. These many events were as a dream and on awakening to our respon¬ sibilities, we organized ourselves into a class with Margaret Jarman as President, Annie Lee Dantzler as Vice-President, Agnes Love as Secretary, and Betty Turner as Treasurer. As a class, we showed one special talent, that of Athletic ability. Our basketball team put up a hard fight and fought to the bitter end. We lost but proved ourselves second to the best. It is with regret that we mention the last phase of this eventful history. Recitations! They are really a part of our college life, therefore, they must be included. In the beginning we spent many weary hours waiting for our classification and finally our fate was settled. Since that time classes have made up our daily routine and will continue to do so for quite awhile. This being true, we cannot conclude our history here, but we will go on experienc¬ ing the boredom of classes until the last of May.

Shifting and shimmering, the shadows Take the shape of novices in white veils, Slowly they walk with measured step Th rough the dim-lighted garden — Take the form of slim young girls Tripping gaily in groups and laughing. Their voices drifting faintly back. Then more sedate and stately forms With grave and kindly faces — A haunting melody floats on the breeze, A lover s sigh, a breath of passion, Blended with low responses. The echo of soft footsteps Sounds on the marble walk — The gates swing open noiselessly, And through them glide The ghosts of Hampton Hall. Kathleen Willingham ’24 Ninety-Nine N t M 1 Nod s Bachsj P ’ J - - 1 Biblical Th ernes m oome Modern Poems (Prize Essay for 1924) There have been many writers in the field of literature who have reflected the themes of the Bible just as the stars of the firmament reflect the light of the sun, thereby making the whole vision beautiful. By taking here the spirit, there the story, and sometimes merely a suggestion from the treasure-house of that immortal Book they have given to us a number of bright gems. To discuss the number and variety of these gems, or to deal with the extent to which the Bible has influenced literature would carry us too far afield; we would be blinded and dazzled by their brightness. Let us then narrow ourselves to a survey of how the Bible is reflected in English poetry of the nineteenth century. To do this we shall use the poems of four of the most familar representatives of this bright period: Tennyson, Browning, Bryon and Kip¬ ling—men widely different in their personality and usually in their treatment of subject matter. It is fitting to start with that most peculiarly English poet who passed through the trying period of darkness, recorded in In Memoriam, at last to emerge into the light of one of the most trusting of triumphant faiths. Our wills are ours to make them Thine. His faith was finally an unquestioning one like that which Mary, the sister of Lazarus, possessed. This lyric- Her Eyes are Homes of Silent Prayer, is a wonderful tribute to the faith of Mary and to womanhood: Then one great love doth supersede All subtle thought, all curious fears. Perhaps the sweetest and most pathetic figure in literature is Tennyson’s picture of Jepthah’s daughter in his Dream of Fair Women. He takes the Biblical fact that Jepthah, for his oath’s sake, sacrificed his only daugther; and letting his vivid imagi¬ nation play upon it, he gives us a picture of a sweet and beautiful Jewish maiden, in the joy of her youth, willingly and gladly giving hen life for My God, my land, my father. At first she was sad, thinking of the joyous world she must leave, but strength came to her, so much so that she thought that, had she a thousand lives, she would give them a thousand times, for: How beautiful a thing it was to die For God and for my sire! Tennyson has honored her above many characters—this maiden who found her happiness in her country’s triumph, and whose last words, “Glory to God,” are almost audible to us as we contemplate his picture of her, one of the most perfect of all his beautiful pictures. It is seldom that different poets’ imaginations paint similar pictures for us—especially is it remarkable in the case of two poets differing as strongly as Tennyson and Byron. But Byron’s picture of Jepthah’s daughter is drawn along the same lines. Here again her love conquers pain and, assuring her father of her purity, she begs his blessings. She begs that they will not let sorrow for her deter them from their duty and their high purpose. She rejoices that she has won the battle; that her father and her country are free. She hopes that her father may be proud of her and remembering that she died with a smile. Having seen these two small pictures, shall we ever forget this ' maiden of old Judea? One of the lyrics of In Memoriam was suggested by the raising of Lazarus from the dead. It deals with the universal desire to know of the life beyond the grave. Mary wanted to know if Lazarus had been consious of their grief and where he had been the four days of his death! There is no reply—he was raised by Christ; the rest remains a mystery. He either could not or would not tell. Very different is Browning’s poem, An Epistle, which has the same Biblical story as its basis. It is a very unusual poem. Karshish, a young physician traveling through Judea, writes to his sage teacher relating to him the strange case of Lazarus. He is ashamed of his warm interest in the case and vainly tries to conceal it, but One-Hundred, IrS M H i W ■ H ) M ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ SKI2SJ Mods.n.Bechs ' 1 3 the impression could not be suppressed. Lazarus is the hero of the poem. It is a psychological study of the effect of a glimpse of the other world upon a man. Lazarus is a soul with absolute spiritual standards yet is bound to live in a physical world with its limitatioris: The spiritual life around the earthly life; The law of that is known to him as this, His heart and brain move there, his feet stay here. The knowledge of life’s greatest secret has not made him proud, hut has given him a strong sense of his own unworthiness: Professedly the faultier that he knows God’s secret, while he holds the thread of life. This is Browning’s answer to the belief held by some that human knowledge should be unlimited. An absolute knowledge of the overwhelming reality of the divine would destroy the present values of life, the fullness of earthly life. This had happened to Lazarus. He had a great love for all things small and great, in nature and in human nature; yet when told that Rome was on her way to stamp out his town, his tribe, his message, and his very self: He merely looked with his large eyes on me. Karshish cannot understand why Lazarus’ story has taken such a hold upon him, for his reason tells him that it was an imposture. The highest truths cannot be grasped with mere human reason, nor can they be analyzed: Nor I myself discern in what is writ Good cause for this peculiar interest. But, all the same, the great idea has made its appeal to that universal longing of human heart for a loving personal God: The very God! think, Alieb, dost thou think? So, the All-Great, were the All-Loving too. So, through the thunder comes a human voice Saying, “O heart I made, a heart beats here!” The madman saith He said so. It is strange. This same universal longing for a revealed God is the underlying theme in another of Browning’s poems, Saul. The theme is not stated until the last; but this is much more effective, for all the songs of David lead up to it, gradually getting higher in thought. The poems tells how David by his songs and words roused Saul from his stupor. First David played for him songs of animal life, the sheep and the mating birds; next songs of human nature in its different phases, the reapers’ song, the funeral dirge, and the wedding chant. At the end of this series, the king slightly roused himself and groaned. David continued by singing the goodness of human life and the glory of Saul: High ambition and deep which surpass it, fame crowning them, all Brought to blaze or. the head of one creature King Saul! This roused Saul still more, released him from the stupor but did not yet bring consciousness: Death was past, life not come: so he waited. For awhile David paused, wondering what next to do. He then sang the songs of the spirit, when Saul’s spirit should have left the earth, and unborn generation should render praise to his name. Here Saul “slowly resumed his old motions and habitudes kingly.” He was himself again; and as he gazed earnestly into the eyes of the shep¬ herd boy, all the boy’s loyal love welled-up in his heart and he longed to help his king: I yearned-“Could I help thee, my father, inventing a bliss!” The truth then comes to David and he talks to Saul as brother-man, of the love of God. God who put love in the heart of David, his creature, has the greater love. Human power is limited so that it is not what man does that exalts him, but what he would do. So finally the great truth bursts from him: A face like my face that receives thee: a man like to me, Thou shalt love and be loved forever; a Hand like this hand Shall throw open the gates of new life to thee! One-Hundred and One i NodSandDccfts I See the Christ stand! With this great truth the flowers and little brooks agreed as he journeyed homeward among their friendly whispers: E’en so, it is so! One of the principal sources of Bryon’s subject matter was the Bible. Early in his career he published a collection called Hebrew Melodies. It was at the time of his greatest popularity and his cynicism then was mostly affected, but even then he was himself a hero of his poems and strange and tragic heroes with mysterious currents in their lives. Saul was much admired by Bryon and two of the melodies are about this fallen leader. Perhaps the Jews were no more disappointed in Saul than were the English in Bryon: and Bryon, as Saul, experienced the bitterness of the withdrawal of public favor. One poem tells of Saul’s visit to the witch before his last battle. For¬ saken by God and man he seeks advice from the deceased seer who had anointed him, the choice young man of Israel, as king over God’s people. When Samuel’s ghost really appeared: Saul saw, and fell to earth, as falls the oak, At once, and blasted by the thunder-stroke. And over the crouching body Samuel denounces: Crownless, breathless, headless fall, Son and sire, the house of Saul. Was it despair then that gave to this broken old man the courage and nobleness which is in his Song of Saul. It is here that we see the poet’s admiration for Saul. Saul urges his soldiers to keep up the fight under all circumstances, not even to heed his fallen body. He enjoins his armor-bearer to kill him if his soldiers flee: Mine be the fate they dared not meet. The last verse is full of pathos, his last words to his valiant and well-loved son: Farewell to others, but never we part, Heir to my royalty, son of my heart! Among the melodies are three exile poems which have a special significance for us when wet remember the poet’s own exile. On Jordan’s Banks tells of the changed conditions of the old Bible scenes: on Jordan’s Banks the Arabians raised their herd; on Zion’s Hill, where Jehovah’s sanctuary had stood for ages, false votaries pray; on holy Sinai where God gave the commandments to his people, and where he appeared to them in the cloud and fire, the Canaanites worship their Gods of clay and metal. It closes with an earnest appeal to God that he rid the land of tyrants. By the Waters of Babylon is a poem of the Jewish captivity in Babylon. The weeping Jews remem¬ ber the former glory of their ruined country and refuse to play or seive for their con¬ querors as long as Zion is desolate, the harp, her only remnant of glory will never blend its tones with strange voices in song. Oh! Weep for These is the one that reminds us most of Bryon. Their happy land is a past dream, now inhabited by the Godless. Where again shall they find contentment! How often Bryon must have felt of himself what he puts into the lament of these desolate people: The wild-dove hath her nest, the fox his cave. Mankind their country-Israel but the grave. The first line of the above quotation is from the Bible, from the mouth of the son of God during his earthly pilgrimage. Another lyric that might be the cry of Byron’s own wearied soul is All Is Vanity, based on Solomon’s discourse in Ecclesiastes. All things that earth could give had been his. He would not live it over, tho, for no hour was unembittered: And not a trapping deck’d my power That gall’d not while it glitter’d. Physical troubles can he cured, but “that (serpent) which coils around the heart” is there always and forever stings the soul. There are two other poems which deal with God’s punishment of those who oppress his people, and trample his commandments under foot. One is the Vision of Belshazzar and closely follows the Bible story of Belshazzar’s feast, where the heathen king served wine from the holy cups of Judah. In the midst of this gaiety a solitary figure ap¬ pears and writes on the wall a prophecy of the ruin of Belshazzar and the destruc- One Hundred and Two I f m i H ■ ■ ■ H s ■ ) ■ Nods and Bccfts tion of his kingdom. The iporrow proves this prophecy true. The other poem of (i°d s wrath is The Destruction of Sennacherib which likewise follows the story told in the Bible of how God saved Jerusalem from the hosts of Assyria by a miracle. And the might of the Gentiles unsmote by the sword Hath melted like snow in the glance of the Lord. That the power of the Bible was sufficient to influence very strongdy the work of such rebellious-natured man as Bryon we understand from these poems, but we do not understand why this groper in the darkness did not find the greatest gift that the Bible has to bestow to suffering humanity, the way to happiness and eternal life through Christ. When we come to a study of Kipling we find that he uses a somewhat different method in dealing with Biblical themes. He takes Bible suggestions and incidents and puts into them modern ideas and ideals and modern institutions. In many in¬ stances, too, we observe that his phraseology is ' closely modeled upon that of the Bible. In the poem Gehayi he takes the Bible story of Gehayi’s accepting the gold of Naaman after his master Elisha had refused it. He uses Gehayi as a name for the judges who accept bribes and the theme is the corruption of the courts of law. Wick¬ edness will out, tho, and when Gehayi is visited with leprosy how mocking is this exclamation: Thou mirror of uprightness, What ails thee at thy vows? Around the Biblical incidents of Peter’s three denials of his Lord before the cock crew. Kipling has evolved an entirely new poem. A Song at Cock’s Crow. The first denial was from the lips of Peter and was heard only by one of the palace maids. Peter repented and wept for his wickedness. But here the poems leaves the accustom¬ ed channel and Peter becomes a name for the type of men who deny their Lord by prov¬ ing untrue to his teachings, and to their fellowmen. Because of the second denial there was tragedy in Flanders and Picardy. This has reference to the World War. Because of this Mary, the Mother, grieved for the women who were slain during the war. Also the babe Jesus grieved for the helpless and innocent victims of war, who had been drowned. This time: ’Twas Earth in her agony waited his word. but there was only silence and sorrow over Christendom. At some future day the third denial will come. Then the kingdom of the wicked shall be broken and their power taken away. Endor is another poem where Kipling has taken a Biblical suggestion and modern¬ ized it for us. It is suggested by Saul’s visit to the witch at Endor and her raising! up the dead Samuel for him. Kipling identifies the the “road to Endor” with the spirit¬ ualist movement. He starts off as though he were in sympathy with the practice, but we see very soon that he is holding them up for ridicule: And that those who have passed to the further shore May be hailed-at a price-on the road to Endor. The road is still there and many follow it, as in the days of Saul: And nothing is changed of the sorrow in store For such as go down on the road to Endor! A charming little poem of Kipling was a beautiful throught and a fitting one with which to close our survey is Gethsemane.. It is suggested by Jesus’ agony in the Garden of Gethsemane when he prayed that his cup of bitterness might pass. In this poem the scene is changed. The Garden is Picardy and he who prays that his cup might pass is the British soldier who is waiting to be sent to the front. But, as with Jesus, the cup did not pass: I drank it when me met the gas Beyond Gethsemane. FRANCES GREGG,’24. One Hundred and Three IS2SEcS jNodSandT3cc ?s s ■ B i ■ ) N l ■ ■ ) Turns of Fate (Prize Short Story for 1924 ) Mir. Brice, this is an outrageous insult! and I’ll never enter this dispicahle office again!” I , , , S , a s ( a . m P ed her pretty foot, as she angrily pinned on her chic sport hat. With her head held high with wounded pride and dignity, she whisked out the office door. 1 , FoS ! er Erice t ll , le new mana S er of the reliable firm for which she had; faithfully served since the death of her father, glared after her angrily. Now his dissipated face and feverish eyes gleamed maliciously, as he muttered: Well it seems I ' ve lost another stenographer; but I’ll cret even with that girl yet!” B Vesta Dawn, hurrying down the street, the keen wind whipping her bright golden hair and dimming her blue eyes, which were flashing angrily, uttered aloud: The contemptible brute! How dare he attempt to kiss me. Oh, why have some men so little respect for women!” Here Vesta again violently stamped her foot. Vesta Dawn had had little time to consider the real significance of her resignation. Since the death of her father two years previously, she had been the sole means of support for her mother and two small sisters, Bessie and Evelyn. Even with her income, it had been a hard struggle to pay the numerous doctor’s bills of her mother, together with many other expenses in¬ curred. Christmas was drawing near and the little sisters would naturally expect the usual extrav¬ agant celebration, for which she and her mother had always secretly hoarded for many weeks before. As Vesta drew farther from the man who had dared insult her, her anger gradually subsided and more serious consideration took its place in her troubled mind. Oil, what shall we do? I know of no other place where I could possibly obtain work in this city and mother is certainly not able for me to leave her. Oh. why should this happen now of all times?” she groaned. Before Vesta came to her gate, she had determined to say nothing of the trying affair to her mother as it would only afford her additional worry. In the morning she would make a des¬ perate search for employment. Surely fate would not continue to deal with her so unkindly. That evening, even the cheery fire in the living room failed to comfort her. Bessie and Evelyn, playing checkers on the floor, were too absorbed in their game to notice her depression. But the ever anxious mother noticed it and paused in her knitting to inquire, “Vesta, you are very tired tonight, dear?” “Another hard day at the office, mother mine.” And Mrs. Dawn believed, never guessing the underlying truth of Vesta ' s statement. Vesta retired early to her troubled dreams of Richard McDonald. She had not heard from him since they moved from Pineville, her former home, to the great city. But she had always loved him—would always love him. He had been her first lover and she knew she would never forget him. “Oh, why did Dick never write? If he only knew,” she moaned in her sleep. Even sleep failed to bring peace now. “New York Times! New York Times! Buy a paper, Mister?” Vesta Dawn was awakened by a newsboy below her window. In a few minutes she heard their paper thrown upon the porch. “Maybe it can help me.” And she dressed hurriedly and ran to the porch to search eagerly the long list of want-ads. With a cry of joy she read aloud: “Wanted: Assistant Stenographer and Typist. Must have experience. Apply at Anderson Wholesale Co., 1812 Woodward Ave., phone 2034.” “Why had I not thought of that new firm before? Surely there is a silver lining to my dark cloud after all, she murmered as she hastily gathered her purse and gloves. Vesta ran to plant a joyous kiss on the mother ' s forehead and tripped gayly down the street. Clad in her chic sport suit and tarn, with her beautiful face illumined with hope, she made a pretty picture indeed. At the office of the Anderson Wholesale Company, Vesta Dawn was at once admitted to the manager, who searchingly inquired the name of her late employer. Vesta, little guessing the out¬ come, gave Foster Brice’s name. One-Hundred and Five I f� a = 9 NodSandDcc s i2Kr; Mr. Anderson excusing himself left the room to return within a few minutes. “Miss Dawn. 1 am very sorry to tell you that Mr. Brice states that he cannot recommend you. I must have satisfactory references.” To Vesta Dawn, in that moment, all hope seemed lost. She staggered from the office. Oh. that wicked Brice is not through with me, yet. Why is he so heartless?” Vesta vividly recalled Foster Brice’s last words, “I’ll get even with you, yet. ' This must surely be the execu¬ tion of that threat. But I ' ll not give up as long as 1 have one bit of energy,” Vesta bravely declared. All that day, Vesta walked the cold streets, from one office to another, only pausing for a scanty lunch, always receiving the same cold reply: “We must have references” or “we have no vacancies.” Near dusk, as she staggered from one of the many offices at which she had applied, her head reeled and she plunged headlong into the arms of a handsome young man, who was just entering the door. Vesta Dawn had not swooned. She quickly raised her flushed face to apologize for her weakness, when her eyes recognized at a glance the wavy brown hair and soft dark eyes of the young man, who supported her. “Dick!” “Vesta!” With one long happy cry he wrung her hands. It was her old childhood sweetheart, whom she had never forgotten. He was now a partner in the law firm to which she had just applied for work. Vesta Dawn, finally regaining her composure, bade Kichard follow. In the taxi, as they drove to her home, Dick cried, passionately, “Oh, Vesta, where have you been this long time? I have sought you all over New V ork and was tempted to give up in despair. Why did you never answer my letter? If you only knew how I ' ve longed for them.” Vesta wonderingly answered, Oh, Dick there must be some terrible mistake for I’ve heard no word from you.” “Well, dear, be assured you will hear presently,” he answered comfortingly. Then added, seriously, “Vesta, you know how I have loved you for so long. Will you marry me now? I can ' t risk losing you again.” “Yes, Dick, 1 have loved you, too, all the time.” Back in her own little parlor, Vesta left Dick, to find her mother. “Mother, dear, you just must come see my very first Chirstmas present,” she cried happily as Dick appeared in the doorway. “I am very glad, was all Mrs. Dawn said as Dick kissed her, but they both knew she meant it. The next morning two letters came to the Dawn family. One, to Vesta, bore the return address of Brice Mercantile Company. It was the confession of a guilty conscience, telling of his interception of her letters from Kichard McDonald at his office. He also told of his own resignation from the firm anti the Company ' s desire to have her service again. The other letter, to Mrs. Dawn, proved to be from a lawyer in Missouri, telling of the death of a distant relative of the Dawn ' s leaving them a small fortune. Oh, mother, now we can have a Christmas after all,” Vesta promptly cried. “Hush, dear, although none of us have ever seen our cousin Henry, we must not be happy at his death,” kindly reproved her mother. “I was thinking only of you, mother, Vesta obediently answered. That evening, when Dick came to ask for his bride, he found a very happy family, indeed. “Oh, Dick, it seems as if all my happiness comes at one time,” Vesta told him. “Mine, too, dearest,” Dick whispered as he kissed her.

Above the door is a ' canopy of dark purple. There is a purple shade on the table ' lamp. A border of pen- nants surrounds the wall at the top of the room. A star of pennants is in the middle of the ceding. Incense burns on the table. The light is on. and it casts a purplish glow over the room. A victrola is at one side of the room. Patricia sits at the table inhaling the incense when Constance and Hope rush in. They stop at the door in amazement. Hope: Pat! is this some Hindu Temple? Pat laughs. Maurine examines the room to her entire satisfaction. Pat: Don’t disturb my musings, my dears! and put on The Song of Love.” I’m disgustingly sentimental! Maurine ( Ignoring what she has said) : Where did you get that vie? Hope: Why the purple? Pat ( laughing ) : I suppose I am forced out of my reverie. I told you I had a sur¬ prise for you, and this is it. I have completely renovated our room. When in the city make this your rendezvous. ( Lights cigarette and begins to smoke). Hope Hooking at Pat in disgust) : Haven’t you got any more sense than that? Pat ( deliberately ) : Than what? Hope: To smoke. Don’t you know you ' d get into trouble if they ever found out? Pat (smiling) : I shall see, my dear, that they don’t find out. Maurine: But the wages of sin is death! Pat ( scornfully ) : Shut up Maurine. You ' re the original pessimist. Always taking the joy out of life. Enter Celeste. She stops in bewilderment. Pat (to Celeste) : How do you like our room? Celeste (listlessly ) : Great King Tut! Maurine ( sarcastically ) : Speak up. Celeste. Pat wants to be complimented on her ravishing good taste. Pat: Aw, shut up, Maurine! Celeste: Pat, when on earth did you fix this room this ungodly way? Pat (smiling) : You like it, m’dear. Really it took much deliberation. Celeste: Tell you when the shock wears off. ( Turn to Pat abruptly). How in the world are we gonna study? Pat: Study, my child! Study! Who intends to study, anyway? I came to col¬ lege for a thorough education, and not to ruin my eyes with mere books. Celeste (with sarcasm ) : Well, evidently you are becoming educated in a way. But you know purple is horrible on the eyes. Enter Conk. Hope (to Conk) : Isn’t this room the most heinous thing you ever saw? Conk ( vehemently ): 1 expressed my opinion this morning. (To Pat) Why didn ' t you come to chemistry? Pat ( leisurely) : Not my fault. Conk: Whose fault, then? Pat (deliberately) : 1 was sitting on the side steps when the bell rang. And it was so nice and drowsy! It oughtn’t to have been so comfortable. Conk: How many cuts? Pat: Lost count.

And now Miss Caldwell is going to give you a few words about your room. You ' ve gotten in bad with all the teachers, and if you ' ve ever answered a question, nobody ever heard you. Pat: Maurine, your frequent lectures are entirely without savor. My one big idea is to get something out of life whether 1 put anything in it or not. Conk: Pat, you make me sick! You’ve just got the idea that since you ' re off at school you ' ve got to be a regular old flapper. You’ll be right decent when you get over these high school tendencies. Enter Jean. Jean ( breathlessly ): Pat, you’re into it now! I heard Miss Caldwell say your name as I came up the steps and I know some one was reporting you for going to Mont- vale yesterday. Pat, she’s furious and she’s coming up here! Conk: She’s not going to find me here! Conk goes toward the door but before she gets to it there is a knock. Everything is perfectly quiet. The door opens and Miss Caldivell enters. Her face is flushed with anger. Miss Caldwell: I wish to see Patricia Gay in my office immediately! ( Goes out). Pat ( recovering herself and attempting to smile): Maurine, my dear, behold! your prophecy is come to pass! (Goes out). SCENE TWO Pat’s room three hours later. Celeste is seated at the table writing. The door opens. Celeste looks up and a look of relief crosses over her face. Celeste : Pat! Enter Pat. Her eyes are red with weeping. She says nothing, but goes to the bed and falls across it. Celeste rushes to her. Celeste: Pat, darling! don’t cry. What did she say? The door opens. Conk puts her head into the room. Conk: Has Pat come back yet? I Looks at the bed.) Oh—(She comes in, followed by Hope, Jean, and. Maurine .) Conk (going to Pat ) : What did she say, darling? Pat: She said— ( buries her face in a pillow.) Celeste: Let her alone until she stops crying. After a few minutes Pat sits up, wipes her eyes, and tries to smile. Celeste: Well? Pat: There! I’m all right now, and I’ll tell you all about it. All the girls come nearer. Pat: Well, I’m not shipped, but I just missed it. In the first place I spent yester¬ day at Montvale without permission. I have fifteen cuts. 1 have no respect for authority. 1 am impertinent, and lazy. I have a bad influence over other girls. 1 am frivolous and my conduct is abominable! Hope: She said all that?

Pat: Miss Caldwell said I am only one of those foolish high school girls who, when they go to college, think the thing to do is to break as many rules as possible, cause all kinds of excitement, and finally startle everyone by a mad elopement. ( Laughs again.) Jean: Well? Pat: My dear! 1 had planned to carry that out to the last degree. (Picks up pen.)
