IGNATIUS whose name is inseparably linked with our closest associations as a tribute to her goodness of heart and her devotion to her children, and in grateful remembrance of her special solicitude for the SENIOR CLASS this book is affectionately dedicated on this The Twenty-fifth Anniversary of her PROFESSION 831 (= SWEET, SLOW STROLLS TO THE SOUND ’ Ant Scriptum “I love everything that’s Old : (SH Banka (§ b ®tmea GDIfc Jffmttfca It is these that make college and college days dear to us ; that make us cling to their memory when all other memories fade. The Old Times are the happiest ; most full of promise and richest in gifts — the love of Old Books, that ' ‘pass to the greatest, the purest and the most perfect pleasure” ; and the blessing of Old Friends, who grow “old” in love and the strength of the steady, loyal and endur- ing bond of friendship in four short years. We are in the last lap of the course. Before we reach the threshold beyond which lies the world, we would send, as a class a last message of affection to the sister class and those half-sisters who have gone before us. All that they did for us while they were among us, it were hard to tell. We loved them well, and we have cherished their memory and the traditions they left us. For the little sister class that remains behind us, t hemselves to become older sisters so soon, we have nothing but affection, and gratitude for their loyalty. We con- gratulate the Class of 1918 on the great good fortune that is to be theirs. And to all, sisters and step-sisters alike, we can promise a lasting remembrance. Our years have been happy with them, and the years to come must be happier for having known them. “Old books, old wine, old Nankin, blue, All things in short, to which belong The charm, the grace that Time makes strong — All these I prize, but (entre nous) Old friends are best !” 9 Board of Trustees President ADRIAN ISELIN, JR.

The Varsity also played several out- side games which strengthened the general interest in basket-ball throughout the College. Sophomores vs. Savage. On Saturday afternoon, the Sophomore team played in a game against the Savage team, of the Savage School of Gymnastics. The game was tied by a score of 10-10. ' Sophomores vs. Fordham Lyceum. On Saturday afternoon, February twenty-eighth, there was a game be- tween the Sophomores and the Fordham Lyceum team of Fordham, N. Y. The Sophomores won by a score of 28-17. Varsity vs. Adelphi. On Wednesday afternoon, March fourth, the Varsity played in a game against the Varsity of Adelphi College, Brooklyn. Adelphi won by a score of 17-7. Mid-Year Meet. The Mid-Year Meet, held this year on March 21st, is ahvays one of the most exciting events of the college year. The day really began at 7 :30, when the Sophomores and Freshmen put up their colors. The campus was ablaze with green and white and purple. The day was perfect but a trifle frosty, due, no doubt, to the biting sarcasms with which the air was rife. At 3 P. M. the entire student body, attired in their blue and white regula- tion dress, formed in the Gymnasium, and the Varsity letters and Class Numerals were presented to the members of the Varsity and various class teams. After the Numerals had been presented, there was military marching by the Sophomores and Freshmen; a dumbbell drill and a wand drill and serpentine marching. Then came the big game of the year between the Sophomores and Freshmen. 38 The Saint Angela Quarterly “Shake hands !” The words rang out through the gym. The opponents went through the formal sign of good fellowship. The whistle blew, the ball shot up in the air, and the game was on. The Sophomores had luck on their side from the very beginning. Some even go so far back as to say the fine weather was a good omen for them. However, it was not sheer luck ! The Sophomores displayed every evidence of constant practice, excellent team work and level heads. They won fairly by a score of 22-10. The Freshmen put up a wonderful fight. They played well and kept up hope even when they knew they couldn’t win. They lost when they had had their hearts set on winning. And they lost well. They have given us an example of how to accept defeat, and we wish them luck for next year. Varsity vs. Savage. On Saturday afternoon, March twenty-first, the varsity played the Savage team, and lost by a score of 27-17. Sophomores vs. Savage. On Saturday afternoon, March twenty-eighth, the Sophomores played against the Savage team at Savage. Savage won by a score of 35-5. Sophomores vs. Adelphi Sophomores. On Saturday afternoon, March 28, the Sophomores played against the Sophomores of Adelphi College, Brooklyn. The New Rochelle Sophomores won by a score of 13-11. Juniors vs. Sophomores. On Tuesday, December ninth, the Juniors played the Sophomores. The Juniors won by a score of 10-6. r Juniors vs. Freshmen. The Juniors played their sister class and won by a score of 14-4. 39 Founder’s Day College of New Rochelle New Rochelle, New York November the Eighth, Nineteen Hundred and Thirteen Programme ♦ f o ? ciock Academic Procession Forms at Leland Castle 0’ciSk ty High Mass In the College Chapel Right Reverend Monsignor F.

Soon, however, the whole fift;y-nine of us were caught in the whirl of college life and not only did we come, see and conquer, but also were conquered. Our formal introduction took place in our initiation by the Sophomores. We were not faint-hearts and so boldly did we with- stand the tantalizing insinuations of our initiators that, unani- mously they gave us the title of “good sports.” After this we felt as if we owned the whole place. Indeed, our freshness received many hard jolts, when a few of us suddenly insisted upon estab- lishing ultra-intimate relations with the respected upper-classmen. Then one of us conceived the idea of burying these disappoint- ments. Wrapt in silence and our gowns, we traversed the length of the long corridor amid weeping and wailing, bearing on an umbrella our dead hopes. But it is said that hope dies hard and we were soon again busily planning. We even had a christening at which we undertook to change a classmate’s name which did not suit. One night, not long after this, the air became charged with excitement when the engagement of the Class of 1917 to the Class of 1915 was announced. In an astonishingly short time, the wed- ding took place. The presidents of the two classes were bride and groom. Our Clare looked very much a bride in a trailing white gown. The Junior president, too, seemed quite at her ease in a tuxedo. Then, followed by the attendants they proceeded with slow steps to the altar erected at the end of the living room, where they solemnly pledged themselves “to love and cherish one an- other during these and their Alumnae days.” Thus we had a share in establishing a beautiful college precedent. We became better acquainted with the Sophomores during the charming dance they gave us. Here, in a series of clever silhouette pictures we saw ourselves “as ithers see us.” With the first snow-fall, we determined to give the Juniors a sleigh ride; but everything seemed against us. First it rained. Then the snow melted, and we were forced to wait until more fell. The force of circumstances brought our business abilities to the front, however, for at the time of the disappointment we had an alarming number of frankfurters on hand. Nothing daunted, we turned the second corridor into a “hamburger stand” and sold them at a profit. Finally we succeeded in giving the sleigh ride, and to quote the Juniors, “we had a wonderful time, my dear!” After this, we began to consider other plans. Within a few days, the notice of our first dramatic appearance before the public was announced by a rather risque poster. But, it soon came to grief, and a demure little puritan maiden took its place. In Mara thon-like haste, but with most fearful misgivings, we brought our entertainment into shape. It proved a howling success, and criticisms such as these were heard: Mother de Sales, “It was splendid; the only fault was that it was too short.” A Senior, “There was not a flaw in it.” A Junior, “We are proud of our Sister Class.” A Sophomore, “It was terribly clever.” A Fresh- man, “Oh, we’re so glad it went through.” And now we are just on the threshold of Spring and the meet. With class spirit at its height, we are entertaining rosy expecta- tions of the latter’s outcome. We are even planning new fields to conquer and so with having survived the harrowing “Theme Days,” Latin ' prose, occasional “squelches” and the existence of burning crushes, under the guidance of our efficient president, we are leaving behind us one glorious Milestone in our college life. .iipNi Sophomoria Place — College of New Rochelle.

[Residence Hall. Miss Class Spirit enters, looks round expectantly ; sud- denly discovers Older Sister. Rushes forward and embraces her.] Miss Class Spirit (enthusiastically) : “Oh, Sister dear, Pm so glad you re here to champion me through this coming year. It’s — it’s going to be simply dreadful in this frightfully awesome building. Why, oh why, did we ever have to leave the dear old cottages !” Older Sister: “There you go first thing; haven’t even given the poor old building a trial and you condemn it. Now, take the advice of a sister older in experience by two years, and say nothing. You should be thankful that the mice in 72’ are left to roam unmolested this year; and that your poor head is no longer racked by the ‘inunderstandable’ songs wafted below from the rock- ing-chair brigade in ‘58.’ My dear, you 11 be able to sleep here; and you wont freeze; and there’ll be hot water; and oh! just picture the day of the Meet— everyone rushing from the same building! Miss Class Spirit: “Why, I never thought of that! Imagine poor little me! I am seven pounds thinner than I was last year — racing that big, over- grown child. Look at her now, making more noise than you, me and Patrick put together. She acts as if she owns the place, and this her first day.” Older Sister: “There, there, aren’t you rather hard? Remember last year you were the size of this child and just a bit noisier; and now, because you are a year older you are quick to condemn her — and she s really rather bright looking. I’m sure you’ll grow to like her in time.” Miss Class Spirit: “Well, perhaps. But just at present I’d like to see Child’s Friend and give her a few points on how to raise — no, not the child, but her spirit.” Older Sister: “Ego, ego is thy name. But come, dear, let ' s rove about the building and see what’s what.” (Exeunt, arm in arm.) 51 ACT II. [Living Room of Residence Hall. Child’s Friend and Miss Class Spirit discovered curled up comfortably on one of the “leopard” sofas.] Child’s Friend: “And then what did you do?” Miss Class Spirit: “As if you didn’t know! Are you trying to insinuate that the Noisy Child can keep a secret? Of course, I know you’re her friend, but — well, if you really want to hear it from my point of view . I turned this room into a circus tent and called the now subdued Child in. She was the most submissive and docile creature I ever hope to see ; went through the whole program of menagerie animals at my command; and when I threw peanuts to her for reward, she placidly ate them, picked up all the shells carefully, and then was even meek enough to salaam before my august presence and say, ‘Most honorable Sophomore.’ I was amazed when she did that; but then I’ve heard since, you know, that you are her coach in such matters, eh?” Child s Friend (Smiling) : “Why, now, who ever told you that? But there, let by-gones be by-gones. It’s a wonder to me, though, that you and the Child are even friends.” Miss Class Spirit: “Oh well, of course, I made up for the hazing by en- tertaining hereon afterwards. Just a little dance with a light performance to break the formality. ‘Speak of an angel’ ” — (Noisy Child enters, laughing.) “Hello, little one; what’s the joke?” Noisy Child: “Why, I was just telling your sister about the night you gave an auction sale, and sold me a desk — remember?” (Both laugh heartily.) Miss Class Spirit (boisterously) : “And Mother de Sales collected the money !” Child’s Friend (pulling out watch): “Sh-sh! You’ll be heard, and it’s only ten of four; honor system, m’dears, honor system! No noise in the building till four.” (Exit Child’s Friend on tip toe.) ACT III. (March 25) Scene I. [Campus in front of Residence Hall. Bell rings. Miss Class Spirit runs out of building and hoists banner.] Miss Class Spirit: “Ana bee bo, ana bee bo , ana bee bo, bee bo, BUM!” (Stands back and gazes up admiringly). “It is a beauty!” (To Older Sister, who joins her): “My, but that Child will be surprised; think of racing one’s self ! They say a woman can’t keep a secret, but look — that’s proof that she never even suspected that we weren’t going to enter the arena with her. And to think it was her Friend who suggested the idea to us, last year!” Older Sister: “Look, there’s the Child’s Friend now, hanging out a 1917 banner. I thought she wasn’t going to meddle in politics this year.” Miss Class Spirit: “She looks a bit put out; maybe ‘it all comes back to her now.’ ” Older Sister: “Come on in, and let’s decorate Our Lady’s stairs with the ‘dear old green and white.’ ” 52 Scene II. [Gym building, general exodus of purple streamers and green balloons.] Older Sister (rushing up and clasping Miss Class Spirit ecstatically) : “Oh! isn’t it wonderful, simply WONDERFUL! Our bad luck is broken at last. Oh!” (Another squeeze.) Miss Class Spirit: “I’m too happy to speak. To think I could win after all my hard luck. Oh, it’s too good to be true. I’m so happy ! Do you know, when the Child heard that The jaunting car wouldn’t go through the gym door, she was so sorry and offered to let me walk with her, and then refused to bring in her mascot, till I simply made her do it. You told me once I’d grow to like her in time and — well, ‘the time has come, the walrus said.’ ” ACT IV. [The summer house in spring. Miss Class Spirit and the Child are dis- covered busily sewing.] Child: “What’s the matter? You look pensive, and haven’t spoken so much as a word for two minutes.” Miss Class Spirit: “Sorry, Child. Of course, it’s awfully rude to be pre- occupied in company, but I was just thinking over past performances — the play for the Year Book, the Current Events Club debates, the lectures, and all the parties, and particularly the basket-ball games with outside teams. And yet these undertakings are as nothing to my work for next year.” Child: “Work — for next year? Do you mean to say that you’ve already made plans for next year?” Miss Class Spirit: “Oh no; but you see, Child, this is my last care-free, go-as-you-please, do-as-you-want year. When I come back in the Fall I shall have assumed the burden of older sisterhood. So here goes for a last, rousing, ‘Aria bee bo !’ ” Curtain. • 53 JUNIOR CLASS THE JUNIOR JOURNAL THIRD YEAR TWO CENTS New Rochelle, N. Y. Weather eneraHy Fair t Sometimes Cloudy NEW ROCHELLE COLLEGE EX- TENDS WARM GREETINGS TO JUNIOR CLA§S. Extra Week of Vacation Drags Heavily on Hands of Those Waiting for Opening of School. Sept. 29 — At six o’clock, the doors of the new residence hall swung wide to welcome the girls, returning from the summer holidays. Once again the Class of 1915 met to spend another collegiate year. Dinner was waiting them, so they repaired to the large dining hall. Three familiar faces were missing, and even in the excitement of reunion, the Juniors found time to regret the absence of Alicerose, Queenie and Anna McHugh. The meal was eaten in haste for every- one was eager to begin the tour of in- spection. The telephone booth, far re- moved from the clatter of dishes in the pantry is just outside the dining room door. What convenience! Crowds of girls stopped to admire the Living- Room, with its tapestries, antiques, and furniture. No expense had been spared for the comfort of the residents. The large pleasant rooms were the next things to be explored. A comfortable cozy corner and the large windows at both ends of each corridor held out possibilities of much moon-gazing. Ex- clamations of enthusiasm broke forth as each new marvel was unveiled. Owing to the importance, of the occasion, the Faculty graciously extended the limit of the rule “Lights out at ten,” so that the girls might have the opportunity of realizing to the full, the superiority of the residence hall to the cottages. LARGE NUMBERS MARCH IN ELECTION DAY DEMONSTRATION. Maggio’s Band Fea ture of Parade. Election Day was made lively on Campus by an impromptu parade or- ganized by the Class of 1915. Other classes were, invited to join, provided they could collect suitable head-gear, and something with which to make a noise. President March and Vice- President McMahon headed the parade, each bearing an election poster, fastened with skirt-hangers to long-handled brushes. Then followed a throng with waste-baskets, lamp-shades, miniature peach-baskets and other available “hats.” Maggio’s Band, consisting of dust pans, crickets, tin-horns, etc., marched with the parade. Never were the strains of the Star-Spangled Banner” more “strained.” When the exultant mob reached the platform at the end of the Living Room, the leaders made memorable speeches for their respective parties. JUNIORS MEET IN ORATORICAL CONTEST. Judges Spend Half-hour in Discussion Before Returning Decision. Jan. 27 — The Junior Class, the second to enter the Oratorical Contest proposed by the Oral English Department of the College, met in close competition. The Junior members entering the contest were Anna McMahon, Katherine Ball, Frances Fleming, Edith Swift. Edwina Ryan, Agnes McCann, and Dorothy Hume. Reverend Andrew Roche, Sister Xavier and Mrs. Davis, the judges, spent half an hour in heated discussion and finally gave decision in favor of Anna Mc- Mahon. Miss McCann was a close second and the other contestants did ample justice to their selections. PRECEDENT REVIVED IN CELE- BRATION ON MARCH 3. Greater Part of Proceedings Secret. As Leap Year comes but once in four years, the precedent established by the Juniors on Feb. 29, 1912, has been cele- brated since then, on different dates. This year, on March 3, the Class ap- peared at dinner arrayed in their class colors, Black and Cerise. About seven o’clock, the secret portion of the pro- ceedings began. The class disappeared within the doors of the cloak-room and no ' hing further could be learned, except what could be gathered from vocal dis- turbances coming at intervals from that direction. The singing of class songs in the Liv- ing Room then followed and “the high and far off times” were renewed in lively conversation. The day was fittingly ended by a delicious feast in Kath Ball’s room. 55 THE JUNIOR JOURNAL DRAMATICS. The first attempt of the Juniors in Dramatics this season was a One-Act Sketch and three vaudeville acts. The sketch was entitled “The Whole Truth.” Anne McMahon, dressed in brother’s clothes, took the part of the clever and ardent suitor. A song and dance by the Misses Swift and Ransom gained hearty applause. The finale was a melodramatic piece “Minnekoko,” wrilten for the occasion by Anne McMahon and Dorothy Hume. Not the least part of this production was the picturesque war-dance of the Gigi tribe. The proceeds of the affair were contributed to the New Building Fund. A LITTLE GOSSIP ABOUT WELL- KNOWN PEOPLE. Miss Edith Swift is spending the week-end at home. Rumor has it that Miss Ryan agreed with someone last week. Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction. Miss Agnes McCann has shrunk two inches in the past week. Miss March hereby sounds a recall of her property, as she wishes to hold Spring inventory. Miss M. Fleming and her colleague of the Weston Club, are planning to take a walking tour this summer. Miss Mary Lally will continue her German studies at Heidelberg. Miss Gray was deeply moved. The Freshmen invited the Juniors to a sleigh ride. Both classes had an en- joyable time. Miss Ball is contemplating opening a day nursery. Miss Ransom’s latest book, “Respect for Upper Classmen,” is creating a great sensation. The Advisory Board has taken meas- ures against Miss Channel for shouting in the dining room. Miss Burns will now condescend to play ragtime since Paderew r ski has writ- ten a tango. Miss Robson has concealed her part behind a hairpin. Miss Alice Fisher wore her cap and gown to chapel. Miss Keating visited school one day last week. The amazing news has just reached us that Marie Kieran came to class on time. Miss Lonergan has become quite pro- ficient in the hesitation during the past season. Miss G. Coyne expects to spend the summer at Miss Spinster’s select camp for young ladies on No Man’s Island. Miss Frances Fleming is beginning proceedings against an under classman for alienation of her sister’s affection. Miss Kent had her breakfast at New Rochelle College one day last week. Miss Dougherty has cultivated several new specimens of daffodils. Miss Sullivan has written an article for the Quarterly. Miss L. Coyne has been requested to catalogue her readings since she entered college. Need we tell you of her con- sternation? Although Miss McMahon has invested in a Spring hat, she still expects to find use for her “Kelly.” Miss Hume is taking a “Special Cor- respondence Course.” We hear that Miss McManus must re- peat one of her Mathematics courses. Miss C. Dougherty has entirely recov- ered from her severe attack of ap- pendicitis. ATHLETICS. Juniors vs. Sophomores. On Tuesday evening, December 9, the Juniors met the Sophomores in one of the fastest games played on the New Rochelle court. At the end of the first half the Sophs scored three points over ihe Juniors, but the Juniors rallied in the second half and the game ended in a 1915 victory with a score 10-6. Juniors Score Victory over Sister Class. The game between the Juniors and Freshmen added another victory to 1915’s record. The score was 14 — 4. This game was the final one of the challenge series, and leaves the Junior team still upholding its reputation as “the team that was never defeated.” Juniors Receive Varsity Honors. Five Juniors attained Varsity honors this year. They were Edwina Ryan, jumping center; Marie McManus, run- ning center; Gertrude Coyne, guard; Anna McMahon, forward; and Elizabeth Kent, substitute. 56 THE JUNIOR JOURNAL SITUATIONS WANTED.

Here among the great throng that make up the Student Body of this College, one has an opportunity to study laughs, and find out the ones typical of r a n P e °P e - Who was it who said: A loud laugh bespeaks a vacant mind”? We fear to agree and yet — sometimes you . know, one i s almost forced to admit it. Now Anne has what one might call a loud laugh, but then she is a genius in Analytics and always gets “10” in Economics— it almost shakes our faith m the old saying. But there is another laugh which sets the whole class room ringing with its booming roar. We are not in a position to judge the math- ematical powers of the head behind the laugh, so cannot say whether or not the adage applies. Opposed to this, and less frequent we are sorry to say, is the laugh that never gets farther than a beaming “grin.” It stretches to some place in the vicinity of the ears, entirely envelops the eyes and leaves nothing in sight but two crinkly slits. On spying this “grin” through the swirling fumes of Chlorine gas, one is reminded of the famous Cheshire cat of “Alice i n Wonderland.” Tnere is just one other variety that we can’t resist mentioning — the short, shy little giggle accompanied by a blush and a slight hesitation in speech. Of course there are many other laughs, which form a background for those we have mentioned and we hope that their music or discord may ring in our ears for many a day. What would the world be without laughter? LATEST FAD IN COIFFURE. Each season brings its peculiar whims and fancies for Milady’s pleasure and indulgence. The fad ushered in by Mistress Spring this year of wearing colored wigs will be especially welcomed in New Rochelle. A Junior of this 57 THE JUNIOR JOURNAL college recently discovered a means of changing the hair to red or any of the new tango shades. Although the prep- aration is not yet on the market, it is rumored that it is a red “ball,” which, upon contact with the hair, will produce the desired effect. SOCIETY ANNUAL CELEBRATIONS. The gay season opened with the large Founder’s Day tea at which the Juniors poured. All the afternoon, crowds . of young people streamed into the Living Room and kept the Juniors busy supply- ing them with refreshments. In every respect the tea was a success and launched the .gay world well on its social career. On the morning of Founder’s Day, Miss Olive March, the Junior President, presented a little bag of gold the first step towards a Mile of Nickels — to Rev. Mother Irene, Dean of the College. The entire college contributed to this amount, but it was the Junior Class, roused by Miss March that put the move- ment on foot. Washin gton’s Birthday was celebrated by a dinner served in Colonial fashion and followed by a costume ball. The Juniors as usual took charge of the affair. They spared themselves nothing to contribute to its success. The dinner was perfect and, as such things will, put everybody in good spirits. After dinner came the old-time Colonial Ball. The new dances gave place, for the night, to the quainter Minuet, Lancers and Virginia Reel. Miss Elizabeth Kent, who is very popular in the Junior set, won the prize for the most charming and correct cos- tume among the ladies. The Christmas Dinner, given each year to the Seniors, was in charge of the Juniors. Preparations culminated on the afternoon of the event by the erection of a large substantial chimney for Santa Claus. Miss Anna McMahon played that role and delighted the guests by her significant gifts to each Senior. WEDDINGS. The wedding of Miss Clare Freshman of New Rochelle to Mr. Oliver Junior also of New Rochelle took place late in the Fall. It was one of the prettiest weddings of the year and has been the means of uniting more closely the Fresh- man and Junior families. SOCIETIES. The Juniors were admitted this year to the Alpha Alpha Society. Misses Ransom, McCann, and Lally were elected to the offices of Mistress of Ceremonies, | Treasurer and Secretary, respectively. It is rumored that owing to delicate health Miss Ransome finds her new duties very burdensome. SPRING ENTERTAINMENTS AND DANCES. On the 29th of April, the Juniors held a class luncheon. It was a very enjoy- able affair. Much of the time was spent in reminiscences, but the luncheon was not slighted. The favors and place cards were most attractive. It recalled a similar affair, a purple party, given to Miss Bush in Freshman year. Toasts were given to Past, Present and Future. They had a “wonderful time” as they always do when they are together. . In addition to many other things planned for Junior Week, there will be a The Dansante at Pepperday Inn. The patronesses of the affair are Mmes. Edwin Swift, Steven Ball, Wil- liam Kent, and J. Wm. McManus. The Juniors are looking forward to I the dance with a great deal of pleasure. With the promise of good music, a tempting menu and enthusiastic people, the affair should be a success and we are sure it will be. — The Juniors are now rehearsing for their play, Moliere’s “The Affected Misses.” The parts have been well chosen and” we can guarantee an amus- ing evening with the simperin g ladies and their lovers. An amateur stock company gave a pri- vate performance of “Within the Law’ during the Spring. 5 S SENIOR CLASS How the Freshmen Lost Their Color. TN the High and Far-off Times, Oh, Best Beloved, was a ’sculsive band of young people who were full of ’satiable curtiosity. They had heard (when they were so young-and-all ) that the most ’mazing things happened in a huge, hairy, hoary house, called the Caastle, near the banks of a brimming briny bay. And so they came from the east and from the west,, from the north and from the south, with the green all fresh upon them. They were called Frosh of the Verd- and-Vein. And so that was all right, Best Beloved. Do you see? But the most mazing thing of all was that things began to happen right away. And attend to this because it is very important. The first thing they met was Sleek-Sludgy Sophomore and it looked like this And it had a determined air. And this ’sculsive band of per- sons (who were so young-and-all) immejitely lost its infinite resource and sagacity and gave themselves over to Sleek- Sludgy Sophomore. And then they were greener than ever, and cut green grass, and strolled and strolled, till they were all squidgy, and trekked out of their jumpsome lives. Presently Frosh of the Verd-and-Vein, still full of ’satia- ble curtiosity, retired to the Hilly Region of Class Spirits, was a heat wave in the land their things and put on cool were not so ’digiously green, but insides. Then the heat wave High and Hilly Region High and But there and everybody ook off most white sheets. And then they were still a little green with- grew so thick that Freshie Knocker died and they had to bury him over-night. And so this ’sculsivest band made a browny black coffin and a wimsy wavy shroud, and they stole forth, past the huge, hairy, hoary Caastle. The red lanterns made a lurid light, but still it was hijjous dark. There came a day when six of this ’sculsive band (who were so young-and-all) met six Sleek- Sludgy Sophomores. Only these were the sludgiest. And when Man put the bone of contention (which wasn’t a bone at all, but a basket-ball) between them, and Frosh said to Sophomore, “Come on and be beaten,” Sophomore said, “Nay, nay! Not so, but far otherwise.” In fact, they were so sludgy and so nubbly that Frosh didn’t know what happened till they found themselves reciting the following Sloka , which, as you have not heard it, I will now pro- ceed to relate : “Sophomores, Sophomores, Rah, Rah, Rah!” 61 L n i 1 i Lurid Light And there was a great deal more in that than you would think. Frosh of the Verd-and-Vein were among the first to get the ooshy-skooshy feeling that comes when spring comes. They were not the only ones but they were first, and they had it ’digious. So that when the Djinn in Charge of Retreats came, they were full of warmth and fervor. For four years they remembered this Djinn in Charge of Retreats and would often repeat this Sloka , which though you have heard it I shall now proceed to relate : “Estne cor tuum rectum cum corde meo, sicut cor meum cum corde tuo?” (That’s Latin!) Presently Frosh began to grow sleeker and less green. You might not believe it but it’s true. After this the ’scul- sive band of Frosh and Sleek-Sludgy Sophomores met once again on the green and grassy campus, near the huge, hairy, hoary house, called the Caastle, in May. Sophomores were still sleek but they weren’t so sludgy. They both ran and they jumped, they batted a big ball with a stick called a bat, they threw and they put the shot. But Frosh ran faster, jumped higher, batted harder, and served better. Andthen Sophomores weren’t even sleek : but they were sportsmen. And so, at last, zvhen their tassels were turned, this ’sculsivest band of Frosh were just dark blue and light blue, and not a tinge of green. And they sang this Sloka, which even though you can never forget it, you will not mind hearing again : “Where, oh where, are the Verdant Freshmen? They’ve gone out of prescribed history, Safe now in the Sophomore class.” reshman Filled with Satiable Curtiosity The Soph-Mor Who Camped. N OT always was One-Four-Get-Your-Sheepskin as now we do behold it, but far different. And it had a precedent. It was mischievy and jumpy and it particularly liked the night. Things were not so well with One-Four in those Less High and Far-off times. There was an ancient custom in the land, and the custom was this : A certain tribe called Soph-Mctr (which, being interpreted, means a foolish sophister, but we, Oh, Best Beloved, will call them Soph for short) , always gave the first clan- entertainment to the new tribe just joining. This entertainment was called hazing. It was a most interesting entertainment — for Soph. Pantomimic per- formances were given by the new tribe, such as rolling a pea- nut across the floor with a nose; and refreshments were served by Soph such as the staff of life soaked in vin- egar. But in the General Council it was ruled that Soph- Mor would no longer be permitted to break the first bread with the new tribe in this wise. Soph were very wrothy. They called a Tribe Council and determined that it would not be fair to a new tribe to deprive it of this means of becom- ing acquainted with some of the clan. So they changed the name of the ceremony and omitted the refreshments — for the new tribe. They called it a Dunce Dance and Soph were quite as well entertained as by hazing. One Thursday at six before dinner-time, One-Four-Get-Your-Sheepskin went to the big cave, Gym. But they didn’t wear their Knickers. Wearing Knickers on Tuesday and Thursday is a habit and One-Four had lost it. The Man and the Woman were much annoyed, and the Woman said, “I give you ten minutes to get your Knickers on. If you are not here in that time you lose the lesson and will pay for it.” This was hard doctrine, and so One-Four ran. It ran through the reed- beds, it ran through the long grass, it ran through t the short grass, it ran through the Kraal ; and it went and changed its Knickers. Then it ran 1 1 II mi 22 21 through the Kraal, through the short grass, ,..!.... Gnon 11 1 through the long grass, through the reed-beds, rr to the big cave. But the ten minutes had run, Grass. Kraal too. They had run into Eleven (which is higher mathematics for saying One-Four was one minute 64 Rolling a Peanut late). That was the most expensive minute One-Four ever knew. It cost five dollars — and the lesson, for the Man had gone. The Rajah Sey thought that life was too dull and uninterest- I | ing; and so she organized a procession in memory of the sad funeral ! of Freshie Knocker. The viceroy Kat danced on a ladder in a pair I I of bloomers. She had to! She was afraid she wouldn’t be in the | procession. But she was. Howsomever, One-Four-Get-Your-Sheep- j | skin lost two A. B ’s (that’s an abbrev. for Advisory Board-ers). But ALadder this wasn’t all that they lost. No, indeed! They lost violetting time, and sweet slow strolls to the Sound, and innumerable trips to the Spa. Because, Oh Best Beloved, they were forced to stay a month on campus (which is col- legiate for castra). And they have never forgotten it. The fame of the decree has gone down with them and the name has adhered to them. One-Four was mischievy and it was jumpy, but it liked Art. It liked it so well that it stayed over .every week-end and took two hours of it on Saturday mornings at ten before dinner-time. And it sat up all one night in May making a note book. There came a day when One-Four was to find out how ’stute was the new tribe in the clan game called basket ball. One-Four didn’t think it was ’stute at all. Anyway it thought that its great chief, McMahon, could conquer any tribe — so great was its faith and admiration. The chief strove manfully and so did her men, but the new tribe got the best of the argument. It behappened and became on account of one of those Knobby things called ‘‘technical points.” But there was more than one point — and the last one was that One-Four lost the cup. Now, it was a beautiful shiny cup with all nice writing on it and One-Four wanted it. So they inserted a A Thing by glittering thing in the hole of the box and extracted the shiny cup “Technical , -i i -i • . i Point” and went and had a picture taken. But later at Outdoor Meet One-Four said to itself, “We won’t be beaten — not for ever so.” And it looked to its great chief, McMahon, and she won the day for One-Four, and a medal for herself. “Oh, Bananas!” said they, “we knew she could do it”; and they glowed with pride. This, O Best Beloved, was the last of One-Four — for a while. The clan broke up and went home to its mother for three months ; and so that ' s all right. “Oh, Bananas !” 65 t.®: ' it Jfi rv The Junior That Thirsted for Science. H EAR and attend and listen; for this befell and behappened and was, O my Best Beloved, in the days when philosophy first came to be known. But be- fore I tell you more you must know that one joined the fold who had never been with us before. She came from afar off and she said, “Ah ! These are very wise people but they are not so wise as I am.” Her hands were full of gifts, much Experience and Unselfishness in giving us of her knowledge and correcting our faults. Now, in the Time of the Very Junior Beginnings, the Eldest Magician was getting things ready. First he got his field ready — that is, that faculty that forms ideas, makes judgments and reasons. Then he got his matter ready — the science that investigates the highest causes of all things inasfar as they are knowable by reason. Then he told All the- Junior-there-was that they could come out and play. All-the- Junior- there- was said, “O Eldest Magician, what shall we play at?”; and he said, “I will show you. ” Then he took them and said, “Play at being Logicians.” So All-the-Junior-there- was played. They played at being IT 0 CL £ The Eldest Magician Logicians, they played at being Metaphysicians who are divided into Cosmolo- gists, Natural Theologists and Psychologists. And the Eldest Magician asked them questions, and they answered. And when they asked, “Is that right? he said, “No, that’s German philosophy with a vengeance” ; and they are German philosophers to this day. Junior Beginnings, All-the- sister-class, and they hadn’t they were an elder sister- seven new children. No one theirs had been; but then no German Philosopher In the June before the Very Junior-there-was lost their time to get used to it before class themselves to fifty- ever had elder sisters just as one ever had younger ones just like theirs, either. They did not know it at first, but they watched All-the- Freshmen-there-was and soon discovered it, and they’ve kept on discovering it more and more. There was another Magician in those days, particularly Tues days and Thurs days; a gentle, kindly Magician himself, but with a fearful Magic. If he had locked the Magic in his bosom, that would have been all right. But he tried to teach the Magic to All-the-Junior-there-was, and that, O Best Beloved, was simply utterly. They had once heard of Heat, Light and Electricity, but it didn’t seem to be the same Heat, Light “or” Electricity that this Magician talked about. It was a fearsome thing. But one day the Magician made a great big Magic, called Exemption. This was a good Magic. And he made another called Examination, and this wasn’t good. But it ended the fearsome Magic. There were times of rest and pleasure, though, and one of these happened when All-the-College-there-was withdrew into a place called Retreat. There they were duly warned against that human specimen, “the animated clothes- horse” ; and there, for two days, they heard much and then more of the books they ought not to read. But then no one had ever read any of them, and wouldn’t think of doing so. It was in these days that a new plan was made — a beautiful plan — by All- the-Senior-there-was. It was a plan full of nourishment and it was called tea-rooms — which being interpreted means fruit salad, hot fudge sundaes and chicken sandwiches. They were simply frabjous, and they brought in much money, which is a sordid but necessary evil, to a business corporation called “Annales.” One thing All-the-Junior-there-was couldn’t forget was its precedent. They must revive it, even if it was to be a commuted precedent. It was commuted — to an April Phool party. But though it was night, the lights were lit and there were good things to eat, especially Kat’s wonderful salad and salad dressing. All-the-Junior-there-was — and there wasn’t much Junior by this time — put its head together and said, “We must make a Magic to show that we are really important.” So they made a Musical Magic with words, called a Class Song. And on Banner Day the Eldest Magician said, “Indeed you are very important, for you have won the contest”- — and gave them a beautiful flag, all silk. Then they all went home, Best Beloved, for that is all the Junior there! was. A Gentle, Kindly Magician with a Fearful Magic 68 How the Senior Got Its Skin. T HIS, O my Best Beloved, is a story — a new and wonderful story — a story quite different from the other stories — a story about the Most Wise Rev- erend Senior. There are eight hundred seventy-six stories about Nine- teen-four-Teen but this is not one of them. It is not the story of The Silver Thread; or of the Freshmen who gave the Sophomores a sleigh ride; or of the mid-year play that had only one junior in it because all the others came back late. It is the story of the Senior that got its Sheepskin, after waiting four years for it. Nine-teen-four-Teen were wise. They understood Book XXI and XXII in the original Livy; they knew all of The History of Western Europe. They understood the Nature of Certainty and knew a sorites from an enthymeme. They knew the theory of Surplus Value and how Capital exploited Labor. They knew everything from how to breathe correctly to how to get a hundred per cent, in the City Exams. In the Summer of 1913, Senior had retired into the country. When they returned to winter quarters one of their number was missing — the one who had the brightest eyes and the blackest hair of all, and a keen wit. . They found a new palace awaiting them — that is to say, the promise of a palace, for at that time there were many wooden planks lying about and much mortar. But when all the Afrits had finished their work and gone away, there lay a great, gray, grand, graceful building, right opposite the huge, hairy, hoary house called the Caastle. And it was good to look at. When the last loose plank disappeared Faculty said, “It’s time for tea.” But ’twasn’t to be just five o’clock tea and bread and butter. No, indeed! The Afrits — caterer Afrits — bestirred themselves. They mixed frozen cream and made a Most Superior Comestible. And they brewed tea and made specialized cakes, and it was all done beautiful and tasted most sentimental. There were cards for this tea, Richly Engraved at Tiffany’s. (That’s ’spensive.) So beautiful were they that some disappeared, leaving their envelopes behind them. Those that were left were sent hither and yon inviting many friends to partake of our Superior Comestibles and to view the glories of The New Building. They came in great numerical numbers, and they stayed to a very tardy lateness because they had a most inciting time. This all happened in the happy days when Senior was most ’scruciating idle. But it did not last for long. Presently there came a man and he pro- ceeded with a comp] ete courteous method to say, I am here at the College of New Rochelle to give you ((?) what is in me in my crude way.” But it wasn’t crude. It was so clear, concise, ItIV METHOD | correct, that Senior grew dizzy. Presently there came a woman who said, “My long and bubbling friends, you must work. Bring a little yard of meteerial and we will make a small, little apron.” “Um. said Senior, and forgot to 1 |oJ Li J $ V CD £ bring the little yard. 70 The Man With a Complete Courteous Method Senior Forgot Her Little Yard Presently came another woman, and she said, “How do the lines appear when the object is below the eye? Very good. We will draw one.” For goodness’ sake!” said Senior, and drew a square prism, and parallel perspective, and patterns of cubes. And so that was all right, Best Beloved. There is a very most special affliction peculiar to Senior and it is called Year Book. There are nine hundred ninety-nine parts to Year Book, that is, before it appears in May, done in frabjous blue from which gold rays are reflected in more- than-Oriental splendor. Each one of the nine hundred ninety- nine parts has nine hundred ninety-nine sub-parts. By actual count there are nine hundred ninety-nine pictures and each picture must be taken nine hundred ninety-nine times. There are class histories and drawings that must be asked for every day for nine hundred and ninety-nine days. There are nine hundred ninety-nine bills to pay -and nine hundred ninety-nine cents in the treasury. “Oh, nquing !” said Senior, “we are most extremely troubled on account of this trouble, for it is a troublesome trouble, unlike any trouble we have known.” And when it was finished there were nine hundred ninety-nine sighs of relief. In the mid year there arose a dissension between two queens, the Most Royal an d Haughty Elizabeth, and Mary, the Most Lovely ff f U } an Gentle Queen. So heavy was the trouble be- jl ' tween them that it had to be fought out at the Plaza, ' with many people to support each queen. Leicester, “a noble villian,” was true to neither, but was most ex- cellently true to the part. Tender and affecting was Dissension Between Two the love and devotion of Hannah and Margaret and Queens others of the faithful friends of the Most Lovely Mary Stuart. And there was the French Count L’Aubespine, who proclaimed a day of ch-choy — before they went to the Plaza. There it was “joy.” When Senior began to droop from much labor and hard thinking, came Djinn-in-Charge-of-Retreats to put new life into them. And Senior rejoiced because they still held him in affectionate remembrance. But when he went home and Senior had had a vacation and had returned, then sped the days when Senior at last got its Sheepskin. And the day did come, and Senior did get it. And then, Oh Best Beloved, you think there was great rejoicing, do you not? But it wasn’t all joy, not for ever so. There was sadness at long partings, and memories already beginning to crowd thick and fast upon Senior. Senior remembers more, and looks back oftener. and thinks ahead with less eagerness in May than ever before. There are seven bitter-sweet days in this last week. There is Glee Club Night and Commencement Day. There is Senior Reception. There is Field Day. And then, Oh my Best Beloved, there is a long good-bye and a last song : “Where, oh where, are the grave old Seniors? Safe now in the wide, wide world.” Senior has its skin, Beloved, but it isn’t very warm.

We were greatly jSjgSjf Surprised for we thought we had one | g§p | in our midst. In fact, some of us had even named her various phases. There was Miss Demarest, Advisory Board member, who said grace, or conducted dramatic rehearsals in a high collar and a mantle of chilly dignity. Then there was Winifred who went to dances, who looked for Saturday night on Monday morning ; and who was one of our tennis champions. Winnie played trained nurse, sympathetic friend and conscientious staff member, all equally well. But Win was hopeless. She seemed to be possessed by a very imp, and gave distracting imitations of a fractious child or a timid rabbit. When Win appeared, Winnie’s friends always looked about resignedly and expected the worst. There was one other phase that we couldn’t name; a mood that made her sit by her lattice and gaze at the moon. Sometimes she hummed “ Could I,” and sometimes she murmured “ Midnight and Love and Youth and Italy.” And sometimes she just sighed and sighed!

And they k grew so in the habit of it by Senior y ear that they simply gave the whole n. college over into her hands. And how ,,ffl Rose has borne that burden 1 Through the awful ordeal of College President she has come unchanged in all her tact and sweetness. It were impossible to tell all the things that endear Rose to every college girl. There is her reputation for diplomacy and the domestic arts, and her talent of looking perfect in a high collar. She can make whole dresses by hand — and during Retreat at that. We have had occasion recently to remember an epithet bestowed upon Rose — when our flower developed into a blush-rose in English class. That was the only time Rose claimed the lime-light in this field. She prefers to concentrate her light upon Math. It is an ever-increas- ing wonder to the less gifted of her co-mates how so charming a girl can be successful in the sphere of they and minus x. However, habit is strong, and we have long since ceased to think anything impossible to Rose. The delinquent in low collar, at chapel, justly quailsbefore Miss Feig’s stern gaze; but to know Rose you should know the deliciously unofficial sense of humor she has.

But that’s not all — no, 11 ■ ■ ■!= indeed! Just stand on the landing outside the gym for a few minutes at any time during the day, and you will soon find out that Kate is a very busy member of the Business Staff of the Quarterly and she must “consult” very, very often! If Kate, sees you there, you’ll discover another of her “belongings. ” She has a glorious blush, has Kate. It grows, and grows, and grows ; it is really one of the very nicest things our class can claim. Kate has a most devoted family, too. Not once in all her four years has the “Norwich Sun” failed to appear in her mail, and it is always sure to contain a joke which her keen sense of humor will immediately appreciate. For she has a sense of humor — and a wonder it is! She has never yet been found lacking an answer. But you ought to see Kate climb down a ladder! 78 A N N A L E S I looked down toward her feet but that is a long, long tale.” AGNES GORDON ? n “ n ®NCE, Agnes was absent, and the class I O | took to counting the chairs and recit- g,„ n g [ ing the alphabet in its anxiety. And ? Pll? it was strange, too, in a way, for our l [gigf§j l tallest class mate is the most silent. Only when it is a question of math- ematics does she descend from her height of reserve and mingle with her associates in an effort, usually successful at that, to prove to them that her original method of extracting square root is far superior to that taught the rest of us in our Prep, school days. Agnes comes from Portchester. We don’t know the town but we think well of it — that is, if the girl connates the place. 79 A N N A L E S “As cold water to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.” Vice-President, Glee Club (4) Choir Mandolin Business Staff, Year Book ELIZABETH KELLY Bp««— fflHE would much rather have us talk 1 C | about Jack than about anything else. _ O I To quote her own words, she could B � — sit for hours and talk about him her- self. But after all, Jack only came to -jiSllll be known at College in Junior year, and we’ve always had Elizabeth. Many are the times when we longed for some- thing like home, we were thankful we did have her, for her homely naivete has made us all love her. Elizabeth will cry with you, laugh with you, or just gossip with you — whichever you are in a mood for. And the size of her heart simply cannot be measured — we would need to know the fourth dimension. But it is with the Faculty that she stars. We don’t mean in “class.” Elizabeth is no grind. It is outside of class that she is the favored. She is on intimate terms with all the “lady-faculties,” and the “ men-faculties ” are certain to succumb to her gentle simplicity. As we began with Jack so we must end. He hates us all for keeping Elizabeth these last two years; but we are giving her up now. We are thankful to him because, again to quote, “He is responsible for all my domesticity,” and we know her warmth of heart originated in him. Here’s hoping he’ll accept our sincerest congratulations. 80 A N N A L E S In whom there reigns a singular and most charming combination pf tenderness, delicacy and gen- erosity.” |ii— ii|Efore we knew “ Betty ” of the blue I _ I R I eyes and light fluffy hair, we thought ! s I of her as one of the children of the U class — one to be shielded and advised. I t-LsSal l ®ut, ' w at an awakening was L( 4 l [E5 iP| l ours! One morning in Philosophy ffl« � ffl c j ass started it — one morning when N H yrlXio the whole atmosphere seemed charged. Then one event followed another, till now we who “ thought we knew,” find ourselves asking “ Betty.” There is not a girl in the College who has and who gives so many remedies for every illness under the sun. Of course, we suppose “ Uncle” has a lot to do with that. But if Elizabeth didn’t have such a dear, generous nature — well, our druggist bills would be considerably higher. One of the most charming things about her is her mutability. One moment she says to you, “ Betsy feels very peevish — don’t annoy her” — and the next minute she has entirely forgotten “ Betsy,” and is sending a bevy of bored maidens into gales of laughter by her wit and her acuteness of perception. 81 A N N A L E S Talk of nothing but business and despatch that business quickly.” Basket-Ball Team (1, 2) Class Treasurer (2) Treasurer, 4 E (3, 4) Treasurer, Athletic Ass.

Otherwise, of late, she y j|i||£j| has taken to adopting the character- j £ 7 § ’ y istics of a certain tinkering substance with which she has had much to do. . y She has her own woman’s share of volubility, but with it all, there are not many to whom she confides “herself.” It has been whispered that Margaret would leave even Year Book business if there were a “Castle Walk” in progress; but we who know hotly deny the imputation. Yes, it is true there is nothing our Business Manager seems to enjoy as much as dancing; but let anyone suggest that she is delinquent in affairs financial and we will immediately cast upon the offender such a look as Margaret bestows when some mere babbler of words tells her she “looks stouter.” There is a deep dark secret about Margaret. She has a fairy godmother! We are not quite sure of the name, but we think it is “Alpha Alpha Presidency.” At any rate this fairy has often saved the rest of us from disgrace by telling her god-child just the answer Father Halpin is looking for. 82 A N N A L E S Never such an arm as thine to throw the basket-ball.” EVELYN McMAHON ! !, “ ' 5VELYN entered college quietly with a p 1 I long brown curl over one shoulder. ; But the first day in the gym immedi- ately made her famous forever.

She is always just a bit ahead of everyone else in learning and executing a new step. In Athletics there is no one thing in which she excels. She can run the whole gamut of activities and come out victor in all. But none of this has tended to give her that “superior air” which she might so deservedly assume. Outside of Athletics, we hardly ever see or hear our famous classmate — except at the office, where there are always special deliveries, and other forms of mail for her. Evelyn never relieves our curious minds as to the why or the wherefore of this or that — in short she is not of the communicative type. 83 A N N A L E S Take life too seriously and what is it worth?” Sodality Counsellor MARGARET T.

She has a clinging sort of way — the kind that makes one feel protectingly towards her. Even her brothers are so attentive that there are occasional doubts as to their identity. We say she seems to need protection. Let us add, she is all too capable of taking perfect care of herself. Which brings us to the tale of her physical prowess. But we won t tell it. We must mention, too, her reputation as a room-mate, and her great aversion to disclosing names. “ Peg’s ” friends have urged her to embrace a career as model for boudoir caps — she looks so fetching in them. 84 A N N A L E S I thank thank y voices.” your voices : most sweet Organist Auditory Treasurer, 4 E President, Glee Club (4) President, Choir (4) President, Mandolin Clu ALICE Z.

MILLER f f FRIEND now, a friend then, a friend j A always, is Alma. She is one half the _ I i combination that enables “1914” to have the P erfect “ Jonathan and j W] j David.” No one would ever dare l lllg l tell Alma to her face that she is very 1 o [ g„_„SB demonstrative — goodness no! But let us murmur in passing that the almost didactic Editor known to the three under- classes is not Alma. If you doubt it ask any of the President of Athletics to the Editor-in-Chief of the Qua we grant that whenever she says a thing, whether it is quotation or the expounding of a new theory in Sociology believe her. But the nicest part of that is that you in credulity has been justified. When Alma is not playing editing a Year Book, she delights in playing Postmasti entire College. There is one sure method of offending he: she has forgotten your letter. And if you survive you m the number of letters she has remembered in four years, cease, do they? We used to think the “weaker vessels” • interested in, but alas! Senior year reveals many things! iSTm oN A N N A L E S “One such friend alone can ever from the very nature of things belong to any one human being.” Dramatic Staff (2, 3) Secretary, Advisory Board (3) Secretary, Glee Club (3) Editor-in-Chief of the Quarterly Literary Editor, Year Book LETITIA MURPHY “Tish,” “Let,” “David” of the Faculty once said that Letitia I O j was the only real student in College. iu_ni of course, is one way of saying it. ? It appears to tell the tale of her ready I tongue in Class, of her never-failing ex- ffl� — planations of any questions under the sun, from an impromtu definition of snow, or a lesson in cancellation, to the Ulster movement, or an appreciation of Browning. But it leaves out of account her singing, and her fame for dancing, her “smooth running” pen— that is responsible for her one old man of the sea, and her partnership with another — and her unsought and unofficial post of ‘ ‘coach” around examination time. Ask ‘ ‘Tish” to explain the Congress of Vienna.— It tells nothing of the wealth of sympathy that has ever made her an abiding comfort for every woe known to man, or rather to woman. But there is always a sense that Tish is half concealing whilehalf revealingsome- thing. Perhaps the other half of the “David and Jonathan” combination could help us to a solution of the problem, but she is not over-communicative. Speak- ing of problem s r-that is where Letitia ‘ fails. ” Mathematics is her bete noir ; and the awful part of it is she doesn’t care. But then, why need she, with such a host of mathematical friends? 87 Il+ll ANNALES Seems to make the world all warm and kind by just smiling her own bonnie smile.” Class Secretary (1, 2, 3, 4) Sodality Counsellor (4) Secretary of the Cross (4) Art Editor.

And there is always an engaged sister’s fiance to be attended to, when he visits New York. But greater than all, and far more important to “1914,” is just “ Jule” herself, with her, “Say, listen, kiddies,” and her eyes of “deep, bright and most expressive blue.” 88 11 11 ANNALES With a wet towel round her head to keep the metaphysics in.” FLASH and a gasp and she’s gone! That’s Betty! There is never a want of excitement when she is around. For pure ingenuousness she has long held the championship. She is the kind of a girl who whispers “Hail, between words in a recitation. All the professors have a warm spot for Betty, and it’s well! For she is likely to sputter off into just gasps if they should gaze too coldly. There was once an English professor— but that’s Ancient History and out of place. Anyway, Betty was a “wreck” that year, especially in Latin memory class. She has a great heart, and any “ Poor Kid ” is sure to receive ready sympathy from this little lady with the sparkling eyes. 89 A N N A L E S She doeth little kindnesses which most leave undone and many despise.” Class Treasurer (3, 4) Choir Musical Director, Dram Sodality Counsellor (4) Oratorian Mandolin Club RITA QUINLAN ® n M pOMEONE once christened Rita “The I | Angel,” and there is a certain degree I £?

But then Rita as room-mate, is pure girl. She is - — famous as a mandolinist. She is one of the pillars of the choir. However, she has one very bad fault. She talks amazingly during English class to the girl next her. There have been many theories current as to why “The Angel” should suddenly defy all precedent in this way. Werfinallv concluded that, lest the Year Book follow the Junior lead and pronounce her “gentle,” she exerted herself, in desperation, to conceal this striking characteristic of hers from the observant eye of the lit’ry eds. There is a story, too, of how she prinked for an unexpected caller, one day — but that is something else again. 90 A N N A L E S “And panting time toils in vain not to get there first.” Basket-Ball Team (1, 2 ) Mandolin Club Art Editor, Year Book Staff LOUISE SEYMOUR ' ““ SOUISE is always being told she is I L| original; but that is for want of a „g| better word. If anyone can find the | = |§g§| superlative of that adjective he is fully qualified to describe Louise. When she gives utterance to one of her many ideas, even now, we gasp and then laugh before we begin to realize she is serious. As a matter of fact the results of her ideas, if carried out, are always serious. Louise has had more “fanciers” — and more “ fancied than any girl in College (almost). When she was a mere Freshman, the President of the Student Body was not so great a person that Louise dared not assail her. Frankly, there are few things our artistic friend won’t attempt. But we are still waiting for her to quarrel with Ruth. That will be an event to wonder at, not only for its absolute un-heard-of-ness, but because — well, Louise just about always gets what she wants. 91 t A N N A L E S She has tasted and seen that her traffic is good; She hath arisen in the night and given victuals to her maidens.” Basket-Ball Team (1, 2) Varsity Wearer of the N.

But with all the devo- tion tendered to her, Ruth isn’t a bit fond of poetry. While long, glowing stanzas are read by our deep-voiced professor, Ruth adds up columns and columns of square- formed figures. But, though a pained expression marks the features of the professor, Ruth adds on. Handsful of greenbacks and “Quarterly ” business are her indelible ear-marks. Her scintillating ans,wers in “ Methods ” have often stunned us. Moreover, she is one of the mathematicians of the class. And even though she is said to have “the better disposition of the two,” we may state that there have been exhibitions of that disposition — in the mathematics course. 92 A N N A L E S We only know she came and went.” MARGARET WARNER f 1 1 N Freshman year “Bobby” kept the f (ysmp m ■ | I I English class in a continual fever of excitement over her hair -breadth ' Ij T | | | f escapes from a watery death.

She firmly established a great reputation for herself when we came to Logic. But ’twas in Senior year that many hidden talents blossomed out in our “Bobby.” The drawing teacher spoke with praise of her beautiful work. When we sang “Rounds” on Wednesday mornings, her line was sure to win out in the contest. But do you want to know, really , what kind of a girl “ Bobby ” is ? She’s the kind that practices her gymnasium lesson befoye class! 93 A N N A L E S “I am not in the roll of common men.” President, 4 E (3,4) STELLA R.

She knew such a lot! And she had had such wonderful experiences, that we were inclined to be exclu- sive. But when she began to be President of Phi Epsilon; when she wrote the Prize Banner Song for 1914; when as a grande finale, she calmly carried off the Apologetics prize in June— then we knew Stella. That is to say, we thought we did. It was in Senior year that she revealed a new side entirely. She was madly interested in babies! And then one Spring day after Easter, she blushingly informed us that initiations into medical fraternities were — “oh! simply glorious!” Now, we surely have her “placed.” 94 ► i € Maxims of Alma Mater Cfl As wet shoes on a cold day, so is a closed breakfast room to a hungry student.

Cfl She who neglecteth to pass thee the bread is to be censured, yea, and she who taketh the tenderest piece of meat shall be called selfish ; but I say unto thee that she Who interrupteth a meal with dissertations on higher etiquette, verily, there is no standing her! Cfl Not every maiden who saith, “No, really,” is disingenuous ; but as for her who saith, “But, m’deah, you know ” I say unto thee, she is a guileful virgin. Cfl There be two things which cause a student great joy; yea, three at which she saith unto herself, “Thank goodness !” To be told her new coiffure is becoming; To have an examination postponed; And to be called to the telephone during dinner. § As a maiden who remarketh, “I have washed my hair and, lo, I cant do a thing with it ” so is a professor who saith that Brander Matthews made one clever remark. Cfl My child, be wary of her who saith unto thee, “My deah, I know you are lonesome; come, I will kiss you — ,” for if thou heedest her, it shall be said of thee, “Lo, she hath a crush.” Cfl As one who drinketh water after cider, so is the lecturer who repeateth a joke heard in class. Cfl To be late for luncheon is a vexation, but to be late for class when the Mistress of Studies greeteth thee in the hall, who can endure it? Cfl She who hath charged over-much at the Quarterly is not wise ; but of her who trusteth her linen to the laundry, it shall be said, “Thou fool !” Cfl Listen to the voice of authority; yea, hearken unto the sound of her who speaketh oft, that thou mightest delight thy friends with mimicry and make light the passing of the study hours. Cfl A freshman with a crush is a trial to her friends ; but a senior who hath fallen is become a hissing and a by-word, Cfl Like strong tea without cream is a girl without tact; and she who saith, “How wretchedly you are looking,” is as salad-dressing made with cotton-seed oil. 96 ]f Why art thou cast down, oh, my child, that thy new hat maketh thee to look like a superannuated pedagogue?

For a lace yoke is often a handkerchief and many a collar-bone is hidden by a well-posed wrist.

But for her who maketh the phonograph to sing during examination week, there shall be prepared a deep pit of burning fire ! To be awakened early when thou hadst composed thyself for a long sleep is an irritation, and to travel a slippery path without rubbers is a precarious task ; but to listen to the maiden who sings “The Old Front Porch” from seven A.

C]J Like an April day when the thermometer is at 30°, so is a friend who prompts so thou canst not hear. 1 If thou wouldst avoid difficulty, bear thee like the scallop who openeth her mouth but to take in food.

Cfl Asa pin pricking in an inaccessible spot, is he who whistles “. he Trail of the Lonesome Pine” from the getting-up of the sun to the setting thereof. C][ My child, take heed lest thou fall into temptation through charging at the tea-room; and remember thy prudent ways lest a cut-test should over-take thee unawares. Cfl Not every girl who taketh notes incessantly shall receive high praise, nor shall she who is silent be rewarded. Secret are the ways of the Faculty, and once Bobby was reprimanded for conduct. Cfl As dry shredded wheat in the mouth of a hungry man, so is cold water to her who craveth a hot bath. Cfl Consider the little mouse, how it runs, hither and yon under pin-cushions and into bureau drawers in search of a hiding, so shalt thou, too, be, when the Quarterly Business Manager descendeth upon thee, if thou spendest thy sub- stance for sundaes. Cfl She who hath four tens in History and worries about the examination is as a large girl on a high chiffonier screaming at a mouse in the next room. Cfl Physical strength is needed to play basket-ball, and mental strength to stand a course in Pedagogics; but the greatest moral courage belongs to her who seeketh converse with the Mistress of Studies while her collar-bone showeth. 97 WrjtrM Day Scholars Said the Boarder: “The day-scholar travels long and iar, But they are lenient when she’s late; She daily rides in a trolley car And laughs at Fate! “Arrived — she spends six pleasant hours Then makes a train — 4-33 (Just once a week this joy is ours) And then she’s free ! “Yet, though at ten I quench my light, Must go to rec. whate’er my mood, Think you I’d change?

How’s the Year Book coming on?” Have you decided what kind of a cover you’ll have?” Oh, my dear! I just love this style of drawing. Will you have anything like that?” There ' s a letter downstairs from Foley.” Reverend Mother wants to see you.” Leave the chairs just as you found them.” My dear, we can’t have the tea.” Will you put our picture in the Year Book?” Oh ! I think 1912’s book was much the cleverest !” There’s a printer in the Quarterly room to see the Editor.” Oh! that’s not the picture I wanted for the Year Book.” Year Book meetings must be great, laughing over the funny things, and all that.” Now if I were editor Printer: All copy and cuts to be in by April 15. Photo-engraver : Can’t possibly have cuts finished before April 30. Editor: Have you the class history for me?” April 5. Freshman | Sophomore Y We’re working on it.” Junior ) How much would little red lanterns cost to reproduce?” When are we going to have the pictures taken over again?” How are the ‘write-ups’ going to be done this year?” Editor’s Expenses 1 Box Swan’s Down for interviews with printers and engravers. 3 sundaes every Thursday to attract delinquent lit’ry editors.

Birmingham, ’08 Memorabilia Blitri With thirty-seven intellects We started forth in ’10, A love of wisdom sent us But we won’t do it again. Soon round a bush we awly sat As one, we massed, cohered ; “Clearness and force and elegance” We cried ; the course we cleared. We trioletted, villanelled For six months ; then we quaffed Swift walpoluli montagues, And then a pepysan draught. When two years out we struck a snag In coppenated guise; Thrice weekly met we, halpining, To metaphysisize. Of junioristic joys we had Full spunctiously our share, With cosine john we frolicked free As long as we could bear. Electrodynamometers Taxed our porosity, Adiabatic processes Met resistivity. We stood for thermochemicals, We learned, in time, osmosis; But XAu=sin 02 Gave us hysteresis. At Wheatstone’s Bridge we took a stand And cried, “What is a Hooke?” We took J. Carhart from the shelf And sold our physics book. A randal hither bent its way; Thenceforth we paragraphed, We built them up, we pulled them down, In short — we j[ed. We essayed in a lit’ry fashion The thoughts of other critics ; But a leather bag bore down upon us Before it became chronic. 124 •A leather bag, an Oxford stamp Alexised all our hearts ; Polished dupontus periods Proclaimed a man of parts. And then a method was employed To get us through the Board, We condoned, fearfully dismayed, And listened while he soared. But soon enough all Blitri ceased; And T4’s gone for good, For T4’s done a strange, strange thing, It’s donned a bachelor-hood. ♦Pronounced hysteresis. Modem Proverbs ‘‘Even the worm will cringe.” “A thorn in the eye.” “Go from sense to soul!” “I do it in my poor crude way for the ladies of the College of New Rochelle.” “I’ll be traded for the cook.” “If we could save only one poem of Swinburne’s .” “Do you believe it’s my life?” “I don’t mind the writing. It’s content I’m after.” “When is he coming to ‘Methods’?” “Isn’t he dreadful?” “The story of writing from the first stroke to the volume.” “I salute the highest class in the house.” - “Now you’re off on the German philosophy.” “I haven’t done it myself yet, but this is what I make it.” “I may need you again, Willie.” “Mother’s grave.” “The Two Orphans.” “Four out of ten go out for your 100%, girls.” “This is my own explanation ; I never saw it in any book.” “He’s calling me names.” “And add”—! “You can do that on one line. ” “I’ll give you one other.” Bang- Whang-Whang! goes the drum and tootle de tootle, the fife. 125 Senior Sororities Honorary Philosophic Society: Louise Seymour, Alice Mahoney, Elizabeth Kelly, Katherine Finigan, Elizabeth Lee.

Sporadics How far that little candle throws its beam ; I tried to drape the transom with my gown , But, hanging it on nothing, it fell down. (“Two tacks, two dollars,” haunts my every dream.) I have five hand-drawn cylinders to make, A pitcher with the handle to the right, A button bag, a darn, a little white Hemmed patch. — That watchman’s still awake, And has his eye upon this little light That shines forth like a thousand million suns, Just as it sounds like half a hundred guns To creak a door at one o’clock — at night. 0r any other article of wearing apparel that scans. 126 mu CONWNfr Sroiwfc vkmuv wum fPVCl OP ' n College Calendar Sept. 28 — May we count the final adieux at home, and the looking for long- laid-aside trunk keys ?
