So I can not tell you all ' I tout this Faculty we love so much, you see. For despite my senior year I am not a genius, dear, And T couldn ' t tell a wise-one from a tree. Rut how hapjjy are the years That anticipation bears When from out their care and sheltering arms I flee. Four long years I ' ve gathered sweet Knowledge at their noble feet Still I know not all their pedigree. Tho ' I am no modern sage. Yet Fm sure they ' re of this age, And they came from East and West, from South and North. And you surely all do know That ' s the place the wise ones grow, Yet you couldn ' t prove by me how they came forth. Yet when days have all gone wrong And our life ' s without a song. Every blessed thing is whirling in our pate. Even rabbits, like monkeys. Hang by tails from giant trees, Then our T ' resident ' s the one who sets us straight. When our friends have proved untrue. Dinner ' s awful ; fingers blue, Browning soothes, and science, music dries the tears. ' Time, space, and the stars at night Gives us zeal that ' s pure delight. Then the Faculty we toast ten thousand years. Yes, the Faculty we toast. And we hope we do not boast When we say they ' re just as fine as fine can be. They ' re our counselors, our guide, A ' hen we ' re right they ' re on our side. So we toast our own beloved Faculty. © RiiTii Norwood 1906 9 Rose Nowki.l Pauline Ki.EY Frances Benthall Aema Freeman Helen Winborne A Lillian Brite Nell Ward (Eliouiminka taff. 1916 Ruth Norwood Literary Editor Frances Benthall Associate Editor Lillian Brite Art Editor Pauline Eley Editor-in-Chief Helen Winborne Business Manager Rose Nowell Advertising Editor Alma Freeman Associate Editor Nell Ward Jokes pntor (ElaBB Motto: ■ 4ftcr It.

Friends, in the name of the Class of ' i6, I welcome you with great pleasure to our Class Day exercises. Your presence is an inspiration to us, your encour- agement will uplift us. This — our day — we have looked forward to with awe generously mixed with uncertainty for four long years. As Freshmen, the day seemed to lie somewhere in the hazy future — somewhere before all of the tomor- rows. Xevertheless, the anticipation of our degree has borne us through many hardships and has saved us from the mighty throes of exams ' and other student ' s tribulations. At last, after four years of joy and sorrow, of sunshine and shadow, we are really Seniors. Yes, almost at the bank where Seniors and Alumnae meet. This is our year, our day, we might say the happiest day of our college life. The glor - of achievement is ours — and the day of inevitnble parting is yet in the future. Today our hearts are filled with a love for our class and a love for our Alma Plater. Today our dreams are rose-hued. Hope bounds high and faith is endur- ing, and as we see the great world as it beckons to us we long to go forth, to labor, to serve, and so accomplish — that it may be said, They have not lived in vain. For our classmates, whose friendships have been to us of inestimable value, we wish that the future may be as bright and joyful as the years we have toge ther lived here. The truest happiness, after all, dear classmates, comes only with the knowledge of work well done, and of faith well kept. Our greatest debt w ' e owe to our President and his faculty. May all that Heaven can send, bless them who have been so patient with our mistakes, so lovintjlv encouraged us in our failures, and so nobly lived among us. 24 tatnry of mxav (tlnsB And it came to pass in the year 191 2, as the summer ended and autumn made its approach, suggesting that winter was near at hand, that a herd of migratory animals left their peaceful homes and sought another clime. These did not birds of a feather flock together, but in some miraculous way a peculiar looking and apparently untamed group of animals of different species grouped around Chowan College. The all-wise and omnipotent band of Seniors with an abundant supply of salt made strenuous efforts to make some organization of these beings, but their voices were completely overpowered at every attempt by the quack! quack! of ducks, baa ! baa ! of sheep, bow-wow ! of dogs and caw ! caw ! of crows. The heating system here being so unique they soon found that feathers and fur were no longer essential to their physical comfort and finally consented to share these possessions with their fellow students for ornaments of beauty to be used on their winter apparel. One thing at a time and that done well, being their motto, they cared for no greater change during their Newish year. Emerging from X ' ewishdom they entered the proud ranks of the Sophomores. Being eminently fitted for their position, they had no trouble in accustoming them- selves to all the duties of the Sophomores. In this history there is too little space even to enumerate the redeeming qualities, deeds and characteristics of this class. However, it can be well said that the greatest donation to the College Museum was that made by the Sophs, when they at the end of that year, knowing of no further need of bills, hoofs, and horns, generously left them at their departure. The Junior year was spent in hard persistent efforts. Having developed to some extent the power of speech and acquired some reasoning abilities, they were busy with the removal of all their possessions, which kept them from being just like those about them. They were looking forward to the time when they would become Seniors, and after working many anxious hours, which seemed intermin- able about fifteen were allowed the privilege of bearing that most coveted title. According to tradition, this, their last march, was destined to be their hardest. Out time allayed their fears and experience showed that thev were able to ever- come all difficulties. During their stay at Chowan some of them have endeavored to secure some knowledge of every subject in college, and consequently vou will find among their ranks, women of every vocation imaginable ; from the maker of the hoe cake to one who can hold her audience in a trance for hours by means of her melodious voice. They all claim to know something about everything, and everything but something. As a mark of appreciation for the development and training they have received here, they leave to their Alma Mater the praise of being the first college — from the time whereof the memory of man runneth not to the contrary to have gained such a stej) in the evolution of man. — Histouiax. froplipry Oh ! can it be that fourteen fleeting years have passed since we happily left this institution of learning — guarding proudly our precious sheepskins — with an air of supreme superiority to all the common mass of humanity? Such great and varied changes have taken place ! Old Father Time ' s tricks are too numerous for us, even in this age, to prophesy concerning them, so instead of assuming the guise of clairvoyance, allowing fancy free play or giving you the benefit of dream phantoms. I deem it more appropriate to introduce to you my once dear school- nrates. Yes, my once classmates — though honors sit well on their noble brows, anil fame has made their names renowned. In the year 1928 it was my good fortune to spend the winter in Washington. D. C. One day while Congress was in session I dropped in to hear the proceed- ings. I must confess I received the greatest shock of my life, for whom did I behold b ut our old classmate, Bettie Williams Tayloe, as Speaker of the House. Can you blame me for being overcome with surprise, for all the while we thought she preferred cuffs, collars and red neckties. I soon discovered that very import- ant business was being transacted, so I slipped unobserved into a shadowed seat, thinking to learn something more of my classmates. The House seemed to be engaged in a heated discussion, which would have ended disastrously for some one, had not Ruth Norwood arisen in her mighty stateliness and introduced a bill demanding that Palm Reach and the Isle of Palms be tabooed by winter tourists, and the balmy Xorth Pole resorts be more frequently visited. Yes, our own 26 clear, quiet Ruth Norwood had surely exceeded our expectations, and besides being senator from North Carolina, she is known far and wide for her numerous mathematical inventions and hydrographic calculations. As I watched her my mind Hew back to a dear little Senior ring and Ruth ' s numerous calculations in regard to its various dimensions — sometimes large, sometimes small — and some- how large again. Yes, hers was a mathematical mind, and she has developed her knowledge until she has accomplished untold wonders. Hers is the study of oceanology, coasts, bays and harbors. And did you know that by her great calculations and observations the current of the Gulf Stream has been changed, thereby affecting the climate of the North Pole and making it the most renowned and most enjoyable of summer resorts. Yes, her bill called for a deal of discussion and eventually it seemed it could not be settled. A lull finally fell over the House, and with a word from Speaker Tayloe, a bent form silently and stealthily made its way to an opening in the wall. Strange, weird numbers were called out and I felt puzzled, so I turned to one of the attendants who told me that the person in question was Bruce Vann, and that she was consulting Empress Nell Ward of Mars concerning the inventions and suc- cessfulness of certain movements on her planet. My attention was attracted to the main entrance. And could I believe it ! Yes, in walked the President of the United States, none other than our own Rose Nowell. In her school days she had shown a wonderful talent in this direction, and alwavs seemed to have a knack for planning and making others perpetrate those plans, but little did we think that she would develop her talent to this extent. She was the principal factor in determining the rights of woman in America and in putting down man rule. Just as all eyes were riveted on her there arose a mighty cry. Suddenly I sprang to my feet and looked in the dir ection of the noise. It was a heart rending spectacle that met my gaze. The cry came from the lips of a persecuted husband who was being dragged in by a woman whom I recognized as Jessie Watson. He was dressed in pink lawn bloomers, pink silk blouse and he was ruffled and curled. She quieted him with a characteristic gesture and said very deliberately to the President, I am the one who needs help. ' ' Her complaint was that her husband was not willing to stay at home and wash dishes while she was on a political campaign. The President called on her chief attendant, Pauline Eley, who was able to quiet the excitement in a very few seconds. After the meeting adjourned I approached Eva Boyette who was another representative and inquired concerning the whereabouts of her cousin and class- mate. To my amazement she informed me that Grace Pearce was the ruling power over the small republic of Abyssinia, formerly known as Ethopia. M) ' mind was in a turmoil. Will wonders never cease, I thought. Here was Pauline Ely, chief aide to President Nowell ; Eva Boyette, a repre- sentative from North Carolina, and Grace Pearce, who was never known to be satisfied with anything longer than an hour, ruling the country we studied in Sun- 27 day-school as Ethopia. Truly, this is a wondrous age ! As Eva and I passed out of the Capitol I admired the wonderful interior decorations. She informed me that they were done by Lillian Brite and Fannie Jenkins, who were employed bv the Government to decorate the buildings according to their ideas of art learned at Chowan College. It was true that they had taken extensive courses in Boston, New York and Paris, but President Xowell discarded all ideas gained from those sources and desired only Chowan talent. Strains of music greeted my ear as I left the Capitol. I went in the direction of the sound and found I was just in time for the afternoon concert by the United States Marine Band. The graceful movements of the conductor attracted my attention and as I drew nearer I recognized Maude Sawyer, who was exercising all the power of her musical temperament for a careful directing of that famous classic, Clementine. Each musician was carefully following the movements of the conductor in order that none of the beautiful effects of this famous com- position might be lost. Could I believe my own eyes ! Yes, there sat Kate Jenkins playing the bass tuba. I always knew that that breath control of Kate Jenkins would amount to something, but I hardly thought it would find its way through a brass tuba. In the stirring climax the oboe was the most prominent instrument of all. I looked to see what manner of person could draw forth from the oboe such soul stirring tones, when to my astonishment I recognized Helen Winborne. As the last pathetic strains died away on the evening air, I drew forth my red bandanna and walked slowly away. 3ProjiJ|prg for tl|p f rnpl|pt cannot tell lioii. ' the tale may be. I tell the tale as it was told to me. While Ruth Sawyer was narrating for your benefit the varied careers that have been ours, from the time we left Chowan until this notable reunion, I have been thinking over Fate ' s tricks to her. Such a thing as one of us becoming famous was never thought of back in our school days, but Ruth has surprised us. I am sure you have all been reading articles in the magazines concerning the new foods and the new fangled ways of preparing them. We make sure our husbands keep posted on them. Those articles are written by none other than the renowned Domestic Science specialist, ] Iiss Ruth Sawyer. My husband makes the best fricasseed hippopotamus and consomme made from elephant ' s trunk from her recipes, but the finest results of her recipes is the orangoutang salad garnished with persimmons. Isn ' t it great that she came from our midst ? I will not take time to enumerate further on her great work, but from these few illustrations you can see what she is doing. Perhaps after all she is only making preparatimis for the future and is still concocting recipes for the use of i raham flour. Ci.. ss President. 28 futor OIlaBfl Pnpm Four years of bells and numerous rules Have pressed us on with broadening thought We ' ve gazed with wistful eyes upon The changes wisdom oft times brought. Yes, we have grown in heart and mind Since we first came with laughter gay. We ' ve worn each doorsill and staircase Within these walls of studious gray. No geniuses, nor pure white lambs ! But fifteen girls with eager hearts. Who strive with heads above the crowd Nor measure worth by city marts. Not social slaves nor baby-dolls. Men ' s equals we are for the right ; Stanch women, we, of future years. Who have the brains to vote and fight. Then each of us in Class ' Sixteen Will stand and rise to her ideals. We each will live those rich, pure lives And leave no echo time will seal. (With profuse apologies to anyone who may have entertained similar thoughts.) Personre — Hermes. Story-teller. Spirits. Place — Infernal Regions. Time — Any. FigsT AND Only Act. The Descent, Hermes and Story Teller. S. T. — Softly, softly. These spirits ! How they affright me, Those little ones that cry, and moan so — What meaneth they ? Horrible ! Hermes — They are but spirits who many years gone by Were slain poring over books — dry and musty. Fear not. We will push on. S. T. — But those bent and worn figures there. Who toil with fingers quaint, And who are followed by books that walk as men. Who are they, and why so bent and gray? Hermes — Pity them! They are deserving more. Theirs has been a lot that ' s hard, For they did flourish once in a college That stood on the banks of the Meherrin. They taught there three score years and ten. They harm no one. Let ' s push on. (They come to the Rh-er Sty.v. They embark in tJic ferryman ' s bar; e and float dozen: the stream. Spirits arc seen on the banks of the ri ' c ' cr.) Hermes — These, Fair Lady, are the souls of those Who lived without praise or blame. S. T. (pointing) — Methinks that book ragged and torn, So studiously folded is Grace Pearce. Hermes — True, O Fair One, like an Ancient thou speakest. For much Mathematics is she here. And to purge away the blackness of her hours spent Poring over its contents. Into a book she has turned, dog-eared and Worn as her books ever were. That spirit behind the rest is Rose Xowell — a noble soul. 30 S. T. — Alas! poor Rose, on earth I knew her well, Always leading — and alack and aday — never being led. Hermes — Yes, yes, ' tis true, on earth she played the queen. l ' )Ut here she ' s doomed to be led about. Lo ! Pauline Eley in her eternal adoration Stands reaching for the hand she may not grasp. Hers is a lot full sore indeed. S. T. — Alas, more tantalizing than Tantalus. But look you, yon spirit more queenly than the rest, Hath something familiar in her face. See her come through the other shades, With royal bearing and queenly grace. Hermes {to Shade)— Ha . thou! Turn thy ghostlv face. (Shade turns, disciositii tlie face of Nell ITard.) S. T. {ill aice) — O, mighty Nell Ward, art thou come to this? Thou who on earth knew none but to rule. Dost thou rule the dead as thou ruled Chowan ? Freely speak to me. (Shade, in contempt, slozvly i: lides az ' . ' ay.) Hermes — A noble woman oiiee. but she flirted at the Junior-Senior Recep- tion, And must forever bear the punishment here. S. T. — Quickly ! Quickly ! What manner of souls art they ? They are two and they are one. Look ! Such cold, majestic statutes ! HERirivS — They were noble Seniors at old Chowan. Their names were Ruth, But while on earth they dwelt They disagreed about all matters So here they sit upon a pedestal, Where to fuss would be to fall. Speak to them not for they are puffed and proud. S. T.— Hark ! (A discordant noise conies to them.) Hermes — That is Kate Jenkins, full loud but harmless. In a padded cell she is confined, For she doth sing the very plaster off the wall. And diggeth up the carpet tacks with song. (A song floats to thciii. ft resembles a faint echo and runs soincthini; lihe this:) Macky — 111) ' Mac. Thy lover Saw-yer, She adoringly lives for you. There ' s nothing on earth for her to do, Mackey — my Mac. Thy Saw-yer adores thee. Hermes ( dolefully) — Poor soul ! On earth she sang In heaven her wish was to sing to her loved one below. Her lover ' s ears were not attuned, So she sang the mightier that she might hear: The angels sent her here to sing to her heart ' s content. S. T.— Oh ! Well did I know Maude Sawyer. Tough luck to have to sing such songs. (They drift on. A figure is seen wandering aimlessly about, pulling at this object, patting that into plaee.) S. T. — What manner of creature is that? Hermes — That little one, so prying, yet so intent on lines and shadows. She, many years gone by, was sent here For condemning her soul, after sketches for an Annual. Lillian Brite by name. Look ! A second Daniel. ] Iark her courage. And with such sweet countenance she fights. Fear her not, but yonder look ; That is the form of a one-time Senior President Who ' d rather be President than Emperor of Rome. S. T. — To think that death should hold such everlasting torments for thee ! But hers seems easy, when compared with That poor, grinning, staring soul. Such laughter! Horrible I She affrights nie. Push on. Hermes — She harms no one. Hers is the life of ease. Bruce Vann sits idly all the day . nd finds the points to her own jokes. S. T. — Hark ! A whisper. The darkness hides my vision. And the forms of others crouch around. Who is that ? Hermes — Those big black eyes that so pathetic seem. They belongeth to one who perished long ago. Her idle prattle meaneth naught Except one .-Xniiual worrieth her sore. Helen, ' twas who beat the printer dow ii Yea, from that high |)rice of yore, y. T. — Ha. wiio comes here?

Mow happy and excited we were! At last the day that for weeks and nmntlis had been the princi])al factor of our fondest dreams had arrivecl. How large we were in our nwii estimation. Yet Imw small we felt when we had experienced college life with all its horrors cif registration, agonies of Society initiation and terrors of negro insurrection. To make note of all the events of this class would he a task too great to undertake. While jiiurneying through the bogs of I reshland, into the wisdom-flooded lands of Sophomordom, and on to the heights whicli we have now reached, our way has by no means been freed from hidden thorns. ( )ur little craft has man ' times been almost overturned by besetting snares which seemed to appear at every turn in our literary course, but with the overcoming of each new difficulty we have become stronger, and with bending oars we pushed out into the stream. For one whole year we allowed ourselves the unquestioned privilege of being the unmolested inhabitants of Sophomoreland. We conquered as we journeyed, and made it our special mission to mold the character and shape the destinies of those innocent Freshies who were unfortunate enough to come in contact with us. With all our troubles and difficulties as Freshies and Sophs, we have only been preparing for the responsibilities and duties which have come with the honors of Juniority. There are those among us who were left us from the Junior Class of ' if). They were to have been Seniors, but Fate intervened. We have the kindest regard for them and treat them with tenderest feelings always, for are the - not nnich wiser than we! They have touched on the shores of Seniority only t(5 be dashed back again. ( )ur class represents every vocation that college life of?ers. Not only does it consist of Readers, Teachers and Leaders in Religious work, but we can boast of Musicians, Poets and Social Workers. We are represented on the staff of both the Columns ' ' and the Ciiow.xnoka, in the Student ' s Council and standing as the great middle class between Sophomoric wisdom and Senior dignity, it is fitting that we be leaders both in college spirit and college life. Swiftly as the lays are fixing, our work will soon be accomplished. Yet a few weeks more and we will enter into the joys of Senior relaxation, satisfied with the past and hopeful of the future. — Historian. dlmiior dlaHB JPorm Let me sin£j you the junior ' s ditt) ' , ' Tis of a class in an ancient city ; Who in the year nineteen twelve Into deep lore began to delve.

With an appetite for world-wide fame, These girls to Chowan were enticed. Just two more months with Cliristmas near, Two months of toil and strife. Each Soph ' ' would to her home town steer, Rack to her care-free life. The morning came, each girl with delight Jumped from her bed with joy. For how could she believe that very night She ' d see just one more boy. Wittv were the Sophs ' and wise were their words For did they not manage the college ? Surely even the wisest old bird Coulcl not compete with them in knowledge. Woe to the Freshman who in tlieir hands Did fall for advice and correction. For few ever lost the hold of their band When going in the Soph ' s direction. 44 Here ' s to the class of all the best, Fifteen daughters fair, Who gathered ' neath our banner proud Tlie Black and Gold to wear.

Our hearts all one and hands all ' round. As into Junior seas we steer, Onward, upward be our guide. And may our Lux et Veritas Remain our emblem and our pride.

Until this year it has been known as the Y. W. A. Association, and although in other states the name has previously been changed to Ann Hasseltine Circle, Chowan has the honor of being the first College in North Carolina to make this change. During the year seven Mission Study Classes have been conducted and taught by the girls, and there has been a deeper and broader missionary interest through- out the entire student body. In Brazil, a play which depicts the power of the Gospel over Catholicism, gave a new and strong impetus to the work. One of the strongest features of the circle is its philanthropic work. The Personal Service Committee has been active during the year, both among the students and in town. In January Miss Minnie Middleton, who will soon sail for China, visited us. She proved an inspiration and a help to every member of the Circle. Two delegates were sent this Spring to the Annual State Meeting at Winston. This meeting and the delegate ' s report of it has been both inspiring and helpful to the girls. In looking back over the year ' s work we feel that the Circle is increasing in usefulness and possibilities, and we hope that in the coming years greater things may be accomplished.

' ' exclaimed Jane, as she burst into the room suddenly, and saw her room-niate looking out of the window — a sad little heap on the window-seat. Well, Jane, it ' s just this: my monthly allowance is gone, and 1 want to see -Madame lUitterlly. I ' m blessed with a guardian who dei lores all my whims as useless extravagances anyway. If I ask for any more this month he will say something that will bring my Irish blood to the surface, and I iiiiist see Madame Butterlly. That settles it, said Jane, you must go. I am ' dead broke. ' too. l)ut we ' ll scra])e up some money s(.)meh( w. Haven ' t we something we can sell? ' ' Not a tiling; 1 s(.)kl all mv old clothes, and the last one of my old books are gone — they went to the second-hand liook store right after school was out last year. ' ' ( )h ! ' ' said Jane, as her eyes fell on a Latin grammar that was left over from the last semester, sell D ' Ooge. He ' s served you well : make him serve you weller. I know this will bring more than the theatre ticket, ' ' said Dorothy, as tlie two girls skipped down the steps a few minutes later, with D ( )oge ' s Latin (■ram- mar tucked under Dorothy ' s arm. It was late fall, and Dorothy sat before the grate with her eyes fixed on a letter in her lap. How absurd, ' ' she said, breaking into a laugh. I never heard of anything quite so crazy. My name must have been on one of the inside l eaves of that botik. After a moment she read again: University of Virginia, Nov. 14. 191 — . I car Fanner Ozt ' iicr : — I thought proliahly it might be of interest to you to know what has become of me, so I am writing yon. I trust that I am not presuming too much on our former comradeship in supposing that you will care to know how fate has dealt with me. I am here at Charlottesville, in the hands of a very nice fellow, who is almost as close a companion as you were. — but who doesn ' t know as much about Latin as you did. yet he apparently finds in me an incessant source of delight. Thus you see fate was indeed kind to me in allowing my present owner to purchase me. while passing through your city on his way here. I would be charmed to know how you are spending the winter. A letter addressed to Elbert Brent. University of Virginia, Charlottesville, Virginia, will reach me. Cordially yours, D ' Ooge ' s L. tin Gr. mmar. What a silly thing for anx ' one to do, she said, yet I know he ' s got broad shoulders, an athlete — maybe six feet tall. How exciting! I ' ll write to this Latin Grammar. Several weeks later this letter found its way to Charlottesville : 67 Durham, N. C, Dec. 2, 191—. Dear D ' Oogc ' s Latin Grammar : — I was glad to know that you liad fallen into sitch good hands. After Iiaving served nie so well, you are worthy of a better fate than lying on the dusty shelves of a book store. I remember well the many difficulties out of which you have helped me. Sometimes I long for your moods, conditions, sequences of tenses, etc. I hope that you may prove as good a companion to your present owner as you have to me in the past. Your old friend of student days. Dot. Almost immediately she received a reply. This was only the bep;imiins; of a correspondence which continued for some time, and Dorothy foinid, once into it, she couldn ' t well back out. For quite a while nothing occurred worthy of special mention, and then things took a different bearing, a letter came asking for a photograph. Aiter a few days she decided on a plan which she thought would add humor to the affair. It was to have a photograph made of the back of her head. Very soon there came a reply, accompanied by a picture of the back of the Latin Grammar, with a man ' s head — showing just above the eyes — just behind it. Dear former Otciirr: — I received your letter, which, I assure you, was enjoyed — and also the picture. I am at a loss to know how to express my appreciation. Even with all your kindness. I had hardly dared liope that you would grant my request. You have proven to me that you do value your old friends. To keep you from forgetting how I look, I thought I ' d send one of myself. Very sincerely, D ' Ooge ' s Cr. mm. r. Gradually the letters began to speak more and more of the master, and less of the grammar. Dorothy found herself writing more and more to the master, and less to the grammar. Her letters were filled with advice about various things, and little notes of encouragement and sympathy crept in. One day a letter came that altered affairs considerably. It simple stated that Mr. Brent would be in Durham in a few days, and would like to bring the grammar to call on its former owner. Now, what do you think of this? ' demanded Dorothy of Jane, as she finished reading the letter. I told you sometime ago that you had better cut this out, but you could not see it that way. Now that you have gotten yourself into this, you will have to get out somehow, and I am sure I don ' t know how you will do it, was Jane ' s response after she had read the letter. I will write him and say that we have holiday that week-end, Dorothy said after a pause. But suppose he should come anyway, and call for you? ' ' asked Jane. Then I just would not see him, was the reply in a very decided voice. Dorothy, you are in a very undesirable position ; there is no telling what 68 might be the consequences of this. I suppose it ' s best to write and say that you will not be here. ' ' I did not mind flirting just a little, but 1 am not so far gone that I can let a man I ' ve never seen call on me — that ' s certain, thought Dorothy. I ' d love to see him, though — but a few days later a very cold unDorothy-like note reached the university, to the effect that she would not be in the city, and would not be able to see the grammar, but she hoped it would be fortunate enough to pass into other hands as kind as its present owner had been. Three years have passed, and we find Dorothy and Jane among the guests at a house-party. The girls were eagerly looking forward to the arival of liert and Bob, the hostess ' brother and his chum. Dorothy was on the veranda talking to one of her ardent admirers, who addressed her as Miss Walton, having confused her name with Jane ' s in the introduction. She had not corrected him, and having been introduced only an hour before, he had not yet discovered the mistake. Suddenly they looked up and saw two young men ajiproaching — one slightly in advance of the other. They almost ran up the walk, and Mr. Thorn- ton met them with an outstretched hand, saying : Why, hello. Bob! Hello, Bert! Glad to see you. Hello, Mac! Mighty glad to see you, old boy! came from each of the two new-comers at once. Miss Walton, let me introduce Mr. Gordon — and Mr. Brent. Dorothy turned and leaned against a post. As soon as they were out of hearing, Dorothy turned to her companion, and said, Tell me about the tallest of the.se gentlemen— what ' s his first name, where is he from ? Which one, ' Bert ' ? His name is Elbert Brent— ' Bert ' for short, you know. He is a graduate of the University of Virginia with Bob. Deuced clever fellow ; fine old chap, he is. But why do you ask? I have a friend who knew a Mr. Brent at the university. I wanted to see if it happened to be the same one, that ' s all, was the quick answer. And is he? ' ' No, ' ' almost nervously. Just then the entire party came out on the veranda, joking and laughing merrily, with Bob and Bert as the center of the group. I say, Bert, come over here ; here ' s someone who thought she knew you, called Thornton. Don ' t call him over here, said Dorothy, in a panic of fear, but she was too late. Eh, what ' s that; Miss Walton thought she knew me? said Elbert Brent, in his deep, rich voice, as he came sauntering over to where they sat. He seated himself at lier side, and soi n they were convcrsina; freely. Dor- titli}- was wondering if she could keep up the ruse. Thus far, as Miss Walton, she had found it very pleasant to sit and talk with liim, Ijut if he should find out — The rest of the afternoon was spent in company with Mr. P.rent. As they parted to dress for dinner, Dorothy ran to tell Jane that IJert ' was her Latin grammar man. ' P)Ut Jane had already guessed as much. If I could only keep him from learning my name all would be well, but that is impossible, and what w ' ill he think of me when he discovers that I am Dorothy Pope ? Make an impression on him l)efore he learns who you are, was the advice of Jane. The evening was passed very pleasantly hy all, and esiiecially Elbert Lirent and Dorothy ; the latter was delighted to find that no one addressed her by her real name, except the girls, who called her Dot. Aliss Walton, ' ' said Bert the next day, as he took her arm to assist her up the steps, after an interesting game of tennis, do you know anything about Latin ? ' He felt her shiver. Xot much, she said. Dorothy Pope, someone called. Dorothy turned and answered. Pert dro])ped his hand and stared — yes, the same — that hair — those shoulders — it must be true. Dot? he said. Are you the ' Dot ' of the Latin grammar? ' ' She remained quiet for a few moments. Yes, she said, but 1 had hoped you would never find out. Mr. Thornton met so many yesterday that he got nu ' name mixed with a friend of mine ' s, and for fun we did not correct it. When I saw you I thought I recognized you. so I begged the girls to keep up the joke — only it didn ' t seem much of a joke to me. What must you think of me? Why did you find me out? she replied. What must I think of you ? ' ' he repeated. Why, Dorothy, I have most sincerely hoped that I would, at some time or other, meet you. Now I have met you, and find you even more attractive than I had pictured you. Why. I know of nothing that could make me happier than this. Elbert Brent spent the remainder of the week in proving to Dorothy Pope that he had made a thorough study of aino, and knew it perfectl}-. To her question, Then you are not disgusted with me? which she persist- ently asked, he would invariably repeat: Disgusted ! Whv, what I am I owe to you. You made me graduate ; you made me win this, drawing a medal from his pocket. Disgusted! Little girl ! Taking her hand one evening, he said : Can ' t we, in remembrance of an old friend, again conjugate aiuo, and change the aiiio to ainamus? Bgo possum, she answered. —I ' csta Bcnthall, ' iS. 70 HTHLETICJ iFt lprB ' Lucii.i.K Brittox. Lh.i.iax Bkitk . . .

Proctor, walking into Newish Johnson ' s room, exclaims: Look, your dresser is on fire ! Newish Johnson — No, it ' s my electricity light. 1 couldn ' t blow it out, so I i)ut it in my drawer. ' ' On December the thirteenth in the year ' 15 On the fingers of Seniors rings were seen : Some were large and some were small, Some fitted well, others not at all. ' This must be adjusted, the Seniors said : These were not made for girls, but men instead. ' ' To jewelers for prices many of them sent; ' A cut for a wear ' will pay the rent. To John the Jeweler, in the town of Stovall, Went the R. A. X. ring, degree and all. An unsuccessful operation he performed ; March has passed, and the rings still gone. John it so slow he shan ' t have my ring, A man from the country better results will bring. In the hands of Jonah, Lillian ' s went ; The whale must have got it — it ' s not been seen since. In the city of Xorfolk are jewelers and lawyers. But the best jeweler there is the one named Sawyer. I ' ll try him, said Ruth in a hurry : In a bo.x of Graham crackers it went. Oh, worry ! Gold it soft ; it doesn ' t last long ; It wears away by the end of a song. It doesn ' t bear burdens heavy and strong: Nell ' s ring has been gone ever so long. A word of advice to Seniors and all : If rings are large, or if they are small, There are jewelers false and jewelers true. So have your rings fit while they are new. iFar uif U OIl|0uian The shadows of our school days are lengthening. The friends of today will too soon be the acquaintances of yesterday. The teachers who have led our unsteady steps have loosened their tender, yet firm, arm of protection about us, and we feel ourselves set adrift. We like not the change, yet go we must. These records of our college days, which now seem so real, will soon be only memories — but memories that to us then will prove fairy gold. Farewell college friends, teachers! Farewell, wonderful alma mater! Even as the multi- tude of Chowan ' s elder daughters extol you, so shall we cherish and praise our inheritance from you. —R. Newell.
