Bravely we set out towards our goal, onward towards 1924. Our Senior year! Ch, wonderful, wonderful year! And it has been a wonderful year, wonderful in friendships brought closer, knowing that this was our last year togetherg wonderful because of the spirit of Col- legiate, ever striving onward towards higher ideals, to bigger and better things. Are we really then so glad that we are crossing the finishing line? Ch, yes, we are proud that we are now Collegiate graduates, but how can we say that we are glad to leave? How long those four years looked to us when first we started out! But now as the day approaches when we must say good-bye to all that means Collegiate to us, it seems as if those years had flown. Not wasted years, however, for Collegiate has planted in our hearts those ideals which she holds so dear, and, though we do not attain their heights, she has given them to us to carry through the coming years. She has given us knowledge, freely to those who wished to partake of her offer. But aside from this, which we may in part forget, she has given us the deeper things. She has given us a motto, '4Service,!' one to be proud of, and one to take into the world with us. She has shown us the true way to take defeat when the odds are against us. She has taught us the way to do the thing that is fair and square to each other and in our work. ln all these ways, and even others, Collegiate has given to us that part of her which is the best. And now as the day draws near when we must turn the bow of our tiny ship out upon the sea of life, we part from you with the hope that you will carry on the good which we may have done, and with the prayer that you will do the things which we have left undone. And as we drift away we leave you with these words: No man shall place a limit to thy strengthg Such triumphs as no mortal ever gained lVIay yet be thine if thou but believe ln thy Creator and thyself. At length Some feet will tread on heights unattained. lfVhy not thine own? Press on! Achieve! Achieve!

Peter has been dropping in on Col- legiate every day since the Hrst drop in '21, ThEI'ClS no need to say that she's an 'AAII 'Round Boy. Her record has been: Class Cheer Leader in '22, ,235 Captain Class Second Basketball Team in '22 and l24, and letters on First and Second Teams of ,245 Basketball Manager in '23 and '2-Ig Business Manager of Torch'l in '23g Assistant Cheer Leader in '22, School Cheer Leader in '23, Varsity Letter Girl of three years' standing, Secretary' of Riding Club, Swimming Captain of '24. PeteI ' is the only girl in school to make A Class in Swimming every year. VIRGINIA BELVIN An expression of fine arty Al .ture 'winner of lzeartrf' Virginia entered Collegiate in '19, and has always taken an active part in the work of the class, especially when we needed her art. She is quite young to be such an accomplished artist, but we know she will make good. She was Art Editor of the '24 TOI'ch g member of the Glee Club, and Dramatics Club, and played on the Second Class Basketball Team of '24. The posters she made, boosting the Torch and many other examples of her orignial drawings de- serve the highest praise. ELIZABETH SOM MERVILLE CALL I love her for lzer smile, her look, her fway of rpealeiny yentlyf' t'BuH:yls'l curly head was an ornament to the Senior Study, although often buried in a Vergil book. When it would emerge, it was invariably to make some clever remark. We are proud to name Buffy, among our Varsity letter g'rls this year and proud that she was trained for that honor on our Junior Class team. Last year 'lBuFfy belonged to the Riding Club. We all think that the girls in the First Year Upper show exceedingly good taste when they get a violent t'crush on KKBuffy'Y!

Chape was our athletic star. She has been on the Athletic Board since the start, and has been Athletic Editor of the Torch for two years. Chape has played on our Class Basketball Team for four years, and was Captain for three. She has played on the Varsity team for three years, and we believe that she can out-jump-well, almost anybody. 'lChape belonged to the Riding Club in '23, and Dramatics Club in '24, Besides playing on teams, 'lChape has played herself into the heart of every' member of the class. CHARLOTTE MEADE CHRISTIAN lVarm-hearted, impztlxifoe, and true. In the fall of the year '17, Collegiate opened wide her portals to admit Char- lotte, and they have never had cause to regret this action. She is a lovable girl and has a strong character. For four years she has played on the Class Second Team in Basketball. She is a member of the Dramatics Club and the Glee Club of '24, and belonged to the Riding Club of '22. SOLENA DUNKLEY Not by years, but by disposition is -wis- dom acquzredf' Conscientious and faithful, Solena will make a good friend. She has always stood well in scholarship and entered whole-heartedly into the work of the class. In '23, when the team was up against it, she came to the rescue and subbed in several class games. She was also a member of the Glee Club in '23 and '24-. This year she was one of the most faithful attendants of the Dramatic Club. lllllllllllllllllllllll Ill lllillIIIIllllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllll Hlllll mlllllllnllllllllll llulll lnllll nlIIIlluxmullllllllllllllItIIIIIllIlllllllIIIIIIIIllluunllllllllllmnIllIIIIIllnnumllllullunlnll lllllnmumlll l7 Iummnnmmmmmnumuunmnmnnuminummmnnnnm mmm u 1 InlmmnlIllnunmmlulnmmnInulmunnInunnnnnInmmmInuulmnnnmlmnnmmu nmuunmIn:mumInInnuuuunuumuu MARY HINTON DUKE Al :mile for all, a greeting glad, An amiable, jolly 'way .the had.

Evelyn has .been at Collegiate almost ever since it began. She came here dur- ing the second year of its career and has remained until this June of graduation. Something has happened every year to keep her out of athletics, and this year she had us all very much worried by be- ing in the hospital with appendicitis. Next year Evelyn expects to go -to a Hn- ishing school somewhere in New York. MARY CAPERTON HORSLEY Quick to learn, fwire io lenofwf' Toot! Toot! ,Don't you recognize that horn? That's Mary, rushing to school in the Hivver, holding up the Senior rep by being on time. Mary may look little on the street. That's what we thought at lirstg but we found out our mistake when we tried to return her balls on the tennis courts. We found out something else on the tennis courts. 'We saw her roll her eyes at a sheik play- ing on her favorite court, and-presto- the court was hers! ELIZABETH MARSHALL HUNTER Size ix gentle, the -ir thy, But .che has mzsflzzef in her eye.

Wearyf of life, we have been cruising in a tiny yacht for three months. Now, always in search of some opiate for our listlessness, we decide to explore the seemingly desolute isle before us. The sorching sands seem almost to burn through the thin rubber soles of our tennis shoes as we gaze over the dreary expanse of land. No sound greets our ears, except the incessant chattering of the monkeys who are swinging in the dwarfed palms. lt is A savage place! as holy and enchanted As eler beneath a waning moon was hauntedlu The weirdness of the isle cast a strange spell over us. Languor overwhelms us, and we sink down beneath a palm into oblivion. The ceaseless jabbering above us gradually dies away, until the vast silence almost hints of death. Then before us . . . Time, in hours, days, and years, Driven by the spheres Like a vast shadow movesg in which the world all her train are hurl'd.', First, we see a cozy, little living-room, lighted by an open Hre. Before the fire- place sits our dear sponsor of 'Z-I-, Miss Greenleaf Know a lVIadameD, holding in her lap a curly-headed boy, whom she is amusing with stories of the clever class of 'Z-I-. Suddenly, the door opens to admit a business-like woman carrying a large portfolio. Surprised, we recognized Gordon Fry. While she is urging Miss Greenleaf to invest in a life insurance policy, the door opens for the second time. A tall, well- dressed lady enters, saying that she has come to discuss the new book on spelling that she has just compiled. lt is lVlary Bates! At this moment the telephone rings. Marshall Hunter, a fashionable designer, is calling to ask the mistress of the house of what material she wishes for her new spring suit to be made. This scene fades just as she puts down the receiver. The sight that next meets our eyes astonishes us. Bending over a table scattered with papers, Mary YVarren Williams is striving to write a book that will appeal to the critical publishers. By her side stands Mary I-lorsley, with an unconquerable light in her blue eyes. I tell you, our government is an absolute failure. It is rotten to the core! lt is up to us to do away with this pretence of democracy! lt is up-. Diary Warren interrupted her with an impatient gesture.

It is said that she is perfectly happy! Did youever -imagine that Corinne Shepherd would have such a romance ?,' Mary Horsley inquired. Well, as for that, Mary Hinton Duke is considered the best ballet-dancer in the Ziegfield Follies. She draws as much in her salary for a month as Dorothy Rueger received in her prize. l'TVhy! did she win a prize? For what ?'! My dear, haven't you heard? She was declared the 'Perfect 36' of the world! And she Worked so hard for it! Don't you remember how she used to diet at Collegiate ?!' Yes, exclaims Nlary Horsley, talking of Collegiate girls, look at Charlotte Christian! I never thought of her as the type of girl who would marry into the gayest society and become a leader of the fashionable smart set. And in contrast to her, there's Virginia Belvin! She gave up a brilliant career for her husband, and now she has a sweet little home, and five darling babies! She's happy as a lark, too! Some- times, l wonder if the world is as bad as l think it is! This is all we can hear of their conversation. 'XVe next see an apartment, a block or two beyond the old site of the Country Club. There, Evelyn Robins and Evelyn Gregory are chatting animatedly over their tea. Evelyn wishes to give up her old-maid's-life, but Eva, still thinking that she hates all men, persuades her to keep the apartment. As they are talking, the doorbell rings, and Dr. Kasten enters with a new prescription for Evelyn's nerves. The two old maids urge her to take tea, but Helen declines, saying that she must have the gas-tank of her aeroplane Hlled. 'Tve just bought a new one, from the Ford Aeroplane Corporation, and it's much better than my old one. she boasted. 'KBy the way, did you know that Mary Champe Taylor is the president of the corporation? I! After Helen leaves, Eva asks Evelyn how much she intends to donate toward the building of the new Richmond Orphan Asylum. They decide that they ought to give a large sum as Ann Lamb is the matron. The scene changes once again. This time, it is the study of the head of the Latin Department at Bryn lVIawr. Professor Elizabeth S. Call is talking earnestly with a tall, thin lady, who is dressed in rather out-of-date styles. The latter is none other than our dearly-beloved Chape, who has dedicated her life to missionary service in the Southern Frigid Zone. She has just come home for a visit, and has been per- suaded hy Miss Call and Miss Dunkley to make a speech to the students of Bryn lVIawr. Solena is the head of the Athletics Department, and is specializing in coaching basketball. She and Prof. Call are the forwards of the faculty team. While Miss Chapin is there, the three of them chat about the good times they used to have at Collegiate. The study passes from our view, and in its place appears the luxurious dressing- room of the leading soprano of the Metropolitan Opera Company. The room is filled with flowers from admirers of both sexes, but only men are waiting in the reception- room outside. Just as lVIam,selle Wood is about to choose her escort for the evening, the maid rushes in exlaiming, mAh, Mam selle, zaire ees ze mos determin' sistaire.

Very well, bring her in. The maid goes out, and returns, followed by a sweet-faced nun. Her expression is one of great calm and peace, but a deep sorrow abides in the gray eyes. She begins speak- ing immediately, 'lAh, Lill, Lill, life is so short! VVhy will you waste it in such a foolish, vain manner? Can you not find a better use for your time? There is seo much good that you can do in the worldln A look of incredulity has slowly dawned on Mam'selle VVood's face. Finally, she exclaims, 'fPollyl But is it really you? Yes, it is, but in this robe! Why ? It is a long story,', sighs Polly, but to tell it briefly, an aeroplane collision de- prived me of the man I loved, and still love, on my wedding-eve.

During the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth centuries, there were many crusades of all nations to the Holy Land to try to conquer Palestine from the Turks. These crusades were very dangerous, and the crusaders suffered from disease and want, and travelling was very diflicult in those days. All the same, hordes of men were only too willing to leave peace and happiness, to fight for this worthy cause. Nlany of these crusades were failures, but there were some that succeeded. To suc- ceed, it was necessary that everyone have the right sort of spirit-the spirit of sacrifice and courage-and that he fight the best he could wherever he was placed, so that there could be unity and team-work, as we now say. There was a great deal of competitiong for many different countries played their part in rescuing the Holy Land from the Mohammedans. Those were the Crusades of yesterday, and today there are still many such endeavors, carried out with the same old spirit. ln Collegiate School, the four upper classes every year have their individual cru- sade to win the Honor Cup, which is awarded at commencement to the class that has done most during the year to develop a fine school spirit and promote the best interests of the school. The girls undertake this enterprise with zeal and enthusiasm, each remembering the part she must play in making her class crusade successful. Then let each winning class feel that they have won their Holy Grail. nmllll mllllll Reflections for the Girls in School Oh, if i5n't all studying and fwork HJ some of ur fwauld ihink it to lie.

On the other hand, I should be severely criticized if I made the statement that it had only drawbacks. Being small myself, and not at all attractive, I am rather torn between the two opinions. One often hears a girl described as being small and pretty, but have you ever heard anyone proclaiming the effects that being small has upon an unattractive person, with a face mostly nose, and hair of an absolutely nondescript color? Anyone belong- ing to this species, and I speak from experience, is always classified as a runt. Oh, how I yearn for dainty little person,', but all in vain, it always was, is, and will be runt. At least I have the consolation of knowing that I can make my pocket-money, and who ever had an adequate amount, go farther than any other girl of my ac- quaintance can make hers go. I feel highly elated and strongly triumphant when, in company with one of my classmates, I go downtown to a movie.', I remove my hat, rumple my hair to the last degree of disorder, ding my coat back, and march proudly up to the ticket-office, lay down a dime, however thin it may be, and say condescend- ingly, for the benefit of my companion, One-half, please! This triumph is in no way lessened by the f'You lucky doglu from the poor over twelve with me. But again, when I see a nice looking boy raise his hat and smile, I know it is not for me, because, Hrstly, he would never even look at me, for lim only a kid, and, sec- ondly, if he should look, he would merely mutter with disgust, Ugly little runtl Whoever it was that said, l'Admiration is the spice of a woman's life, certainly told the truth. It is even apparent in my tiny, two-year-old niece. Still, I give thanks togmy little body, not my big brains, for the admiring glances thrown at me when I proudly take my place in the Senior section. I am con- scious of this pride mingling with the honor of being a Senior, all during assembly. H Theri I am accosted outside by some Intermediate, z'Are you really a Senior? Oh, the great joy of giving a casual Oh, yesln although I am brimming over with con- ceit. The next question usually pricks my little balloon of hot-air, and I am forced to admit my age, which always causes the admiration of the inquisitive person to evaporate. However, the next would bring solace to any feminine heart, You don't look it. Again I am all smiles and condescension. Looks are deceiving, and you mustn't count on them, I advise quite sagely, notwithstanding the fact that it is only a borrowed piece of advice. Who can blame me for airing my position in school? I have to have some encouragement in my own necessary self-pride. Thus, you see a small person has her ups and downs as well as a normal-sized person. For instance, the feeling of responsibility and dignity given me by Miss Saunders from my Latin teacher is immediately counteracted by the frivolous, un- dignihed Little Eva from my gymnasium teacher. Nevertheless, I try to make the two sides balance, and to go through life merrily, passing lightly over the regrets caused by my height, and thereby gaining the title of 'fthat lazy, good-for-nothing runtf' EVA SAUNDERS, '24. llllllllllllllll lllllllllllll I I III IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII I III I I I III I IlIIIll IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII lllll I IllIIIllIIKIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIllIIlllllllllIIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll 48 T H E T O R C H Ole Marster's Chris'mus Gif' UTSIDE, night was fast approachingil The pale, wintry sun was slowly sink- ing behind the tall poplars at the back of the snow-covered garden. lVIammy, called a weak, impatient voice from the depths of a big arm- chair -by the Window, Mammy, how many more days are there now ? .Ies' three mo' now, honey, came the response. See, you can count lem, and the doctor is shol, now, that you'll be well time enough to git your own stocking, Christ- mus morningf, The small boy took the calendar held out to him, and, after counting the days that stood between him and liberty, he said, But I Want to see my Christmas presents, lVIammy.

K'Come ,long here by de fire, honey, and I'l1 tell you about when I was a little girl, an' when I could skeercely wait for Christmus to come,'I and Mammy lowered the shades, shutting out the now-darkened World. The little boy came and sat at her feet on the rug by a blazing fire. HIS it a story, Mammy ? he asked. Well, you see it was this a way, she began, we lived on a big plantation near Doswell, an' yo, great uncle, John Harris, was my marster. Ole mistis was dead, so my ma she kep' house for Marse John, I uster wait on him. I would bring him his slippers at night, an' sleep in the hall at the Great I-Iousen so as I be ready to run errands or do anything he Wanted me to do. He called me Little IN-Iiss and liked me most of all de chillun on de plantation. A cabin in de 'quarters' was where ma lived with my brother an' two little sisters, but my father he was owned by Mr. Ambler over 'crost de river. He could come to see us nights, but we all wished mightily that he could Iifve with us. I never will disremember one night. It was jest' befo, Christmus. I ran over home to see my father, an' thai' was ma, on her knees befo, father an, he was aholdin' a long knife. 'No, Richardf she was beggin', 'I'd rather see you livin, somewhere else than dead here.' When he saw me he dropped the knife he'd been a hxin' to kill hisself with, an' took me in his arms. 'My darlin' chile,' he said, 'l've come to tell you good-bye. Tomorrow, deyls gonna sell me in Richmond' Dat night I cried all night long. I didn't like for NIa1'se John to see my red eyes in de mornin', but he did. I told him all my troubles, den, an' den I felt better. He said not to Worry, jes' to trus' in de Lord, an' I did.

It was about a quarter of a mile below camp, and almost hidden from anyone on the lake by the tall evergreens, whose sombreness was re- lieved here and there by a white birch. At one side of the steps l caught a glimpse of a few red and white Howers, the only bright spot in the picture. The house itself, of a dull brownish color, was long and low, with a flat roof, and a porch which stretched the whole length of the front. At first the only thing I noticed was the un- usual number of windows, but when one of the girls told me the name of the house, I was immediately interested in the whole place. Who would not be? lt suggested old ghost stories, and, above all, mystery. I could have spent the rest of my life in that canoe, gazing first at the haunted house, as l called it, and then at the redection of the flaming sunset in the water. There was not even a ripple on the lake, and the soft drip, drip of the paddle would have put me to sleep, except for the always obliging mosquitoes. A long, clear bugle note from a neighboring camp reminded us of supper, and as we paddled back to camp, I determined to examine the house inside as soon as possible. With this purpose, three of us started out one afternoon. We had heard that there was some sort of keeper, but we hoped he was legendary, and even .if he were not, adventure was what we were seeking anyhow. The afternoon was cold and damp, but our spirits were not at first. When we got there we looked cautiously around, but could see no one. At close view the house was rather dilapidated. Several window-panes were either altogether out, or broken, and one of the steps had fallen in. We were rather excited by this time, but we walked boldly up the steps and climbed through one of the windows. The downstairs rooms were almost bare. A few chairs were scattered around, and one fine mahogany table proudly held itself aloof in one corner. VVonder- ing why it had been left, we examined every corner of it, trying to find mysterious papers or codes, but, of course, we were disappointed. We reached then what must have been the kitchen, for there was an old rusty stove and a kettle without a top. VVhat was our surprise and alarm to find on a shelf in one corner the remains of a meal, not more than two days old, a box of matches, and an old pipe. lt must be the keeper's, whispered one of the girls. 1IIIIIllllllllIIIIIllllllllIllIIIIllllllIIIIIIIlllllllllIIIlllllIllllllllllllllllllllllIIIlllllIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII in :nu uInnunmnmmumnnnu llllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllIIIIIIIlllllllIIIllllllllIIIIIIIllllllllIIllllllllIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIHW T H E T O R C H 51 allmmmInInmmmIIIIIIInmIIIIIImlmIIIInnnunmlmnumm1nununllllml Inmuuunmummmmlll I 1 unnmmmnnmllmuxlllllInumIIIIunnIIIIInrunIIIIIImnIIIIIImmIIIIImxlllllllllllmllllllllmllllIlllllllllllllll Yes, and suppose he should hnd us heref' I answered, what would we do ? While we were shivering at the thought, something fell with a loud thud. Jumping as if from an electric shock, we looked around. Our relief was great to find that it waslonly a piece of plaster which had dropped from the ceiling. Nevertheless, we left the kitchen. The next door we tried was swollen from rains and stuck, but finally it gave way, and we went in rather fearfully. Everything 'in the house seemed alive by this time. The old gentleman in the picture on the wall laughed mockingly at us. A board creaked under our feetg a nut from a pile in the corner suddenly rolled across the floorg a mouse squeaked somewhere upstairs. Really frightened now, we tiptoed to- wards the front of the house, our only idea being to get out. Then a light footstep sounded behind us. We looked around cold with terror, and saw, no, not the keeper, only a chipmunk, who had captured the wandering nut and was running to the window with it. At last we got outdoors, but everything was still terrifying. The sky was nearly dark, there were great white caps on the lake, and even the flowers trembled, it may have been in the wind, or it may have been for fear. We caught a whiff of smoke, and imagined that the keeper was enjoying his pipe in the kitchen. Afterwards we found it came from the chimney of a house a little way off. lt is not necessary to say that we ran all the way to camp, and that it was long before we visited again the house of a thousand ghosts.

You have come from Wonderland, interrupts Miss Greentree. Ah! there's Where you are Wrong. I am not Alice, and I know nothing about Wonderland,,' says the student in a defiant vvay. Indeed! Then I did make a mistake. I did not realize that you were George Eliot! says Miss Greentree, blushing slightly. The student laughs. There's no use in your trying to guess any more, for I come from a land that you have never heard of, but I shall tell you something of it. First of all, I am someone whom people of your kind dislike. I'm Miss Modernism!

But my day will come soon enoughf, Where do you come from ? asks Miss Greentree, in an impatient tone of voice. !'As I said before, I come from a place you knovv not-a place where people do nothing except Writef' How heavenly! exclaims Miss Greentree. I No, it would not be heavenly for you. Far from it. You would be entirely out of place, with your queer-old-fashioned ways of writing. Modernists would ridicule you, and even jeer at you. My people Write poetry, full of rhythm and beauty, full of music and gorgeous pictures. They can write any Way they choose, for originality adds charm. They place Words Where they please, for they know not the various rules for sentence structure. There is no such word as rule in their language. They laugh at their ancestors, for using such things as commas. And yet my generation surpasses in every Way the Writing of any other generation. You wonder when my day will come. I shall come when-. What's that! cries Miss Greentree, starting from her chair at the sudden striking of the clock over the fire-place. I have been dreaming. She snatches up a paper from her lap and starts to read it. Where is my pencil? She murmurs, and ,after finding it, she marks in the margin of the paper, Look up rule for comma fault in Woolley. That was a funny dream I had,', says Miss Greentree, giving a charming little chuckle to herself. I Wonder When- ? M. C. H.

After driving for five miles over a rough, mountain road, after waiting for a cowrto amble slowly across the road, and after waiting for about five gates to be opened and closed, we finally came upon a most pleasing sight. There was a house before us which reminded me of pictures I have seen of English homes. Cream- colored plaster had been used in pleasing contrast with dark wood-work. There was a flock of sheep serenely grazing on the lawn, which immediately dispersed as we drove up. Miss Montague made a charming picture as she poured tea from an old silver- service on the cool, vine-covered porch. The house is built on the side of a mountain, and the View from the porch was most delightful.. Away across on the mountain to the front of the house were Tony Beaver's pine trees, where Tony Beaver ,saw the sunrise, looking like three sentinels silhouetted against the fast-increasing grey of the sky. I would have liked to lookout over the mountain all afternoon, but a still more beautiful sight was awaiting me-the Hower garden at the back of the house. It was one mass of color, with the beautiful green mountain as a background. As we stood on the porch, and watched the sun sink behind the mountain- leaving the gloriously golden western sky in its wake-it partly explained to me how such surroundings could inspire a person to Write as only Miss Montague can Write.

Outside, the wind was whistling a ghostly tune, and the rain was descending in torrents. The children gathered closer about the fire, and the youngest climbed up into the lap of her grandfather, who was seated in his favorite armchair close to the blaze. 'fGrandfather, said the little girl, c'we're waiting for you to begin, and you promised to begin with '0nce upon a time, tonightf' Eh? Oh, the bedtime story. Well, what shall it be tonight ? Something new, about Indians and treasure, please, grandfather, said Dickey, who loved adventure. Something about romance, too, put in the eldest girl with a heavy sigh. About Indians, treasure, and romance. Well, well, let,s see. He gazed into the Ere, and the children seeing that his thoughts were far away feared that they would miss their bedtime story tonight. W-:'re waiting, grandfather, dear. About Indians, treasure, and romance, murmured the old man, not heeding the interruption in the least. Having repeated this twice, he sat up, settled the llttle girl more comfortably on his lap, and proceeded: O-nce upon a time, a long, long time ago, 'way back in the mountains of Ver- mont, there lived a beautiful young girl, whose name was Marie Jeanne. Having lived far from the world, her only pleasure was in wandering through her beloved forests beside the streams, and dreaming of a Fairy Prince, who 'would some day come riding down the trail on a milk-white steed and carry her away with him to a vast kingdom, where she would be queen. When she was twenty years old, her father informed her that he wished her to marry a neighbor of theirs, one John Weaver by name, who had asked for her hand in marriage. She was broken-hearted, because she knew, as everyone did, that this man was a coward and a villian, and, besides all this, she hated him. Why had her father asked this of her? She refused again and again, but in her heart she knew that in the end she must yield. She would be forced to obey her parents. There was no one to help her, and her only comforts were the birds and flowers beside the stream and in the forest where she wandered daily, looking, always looking, for the Fairy Prince. Surely this was the time for him to appear. One day while she was sitting on a large moss-covered rock, studying her reflec- tion in the clear mountain stream, a stranger came down the trail. He was riding horseback, and both he and the horse looked worn out as if by much hard travelling. He was a young man, large and handsome, with dark hair and eyes, and skin tanned by the sun. His object seemed to be finding lodgings for the night, and lVIarie Jeanne IIIIllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIllllllIIIIllllllllIlIIIIlllllllIIIIlllllllIllIlllllllllllllllllllllllnllll IIImlllmlllllllllllllnll llllll ul ll 1 H I IllulllIIIIIIlllllllIIIllllllllllllllumnllll nlllu llnml Illll mllIIIIllnmIlllllllmulllllllmllltllllllllllll' T I-I E T O R C H 57 UllllllllIIIIIIIlmlllIIlIIIIIllllllllIIIIIlllllllllIIIllllllllllllllllllllIIIlllllllIIIIllllllIIIlllllllIIIIHullIIIIlmlllllllnlllltIIIllnllllllllllllllllllllm IIII lullIIIIllllllllllllllnllllllllulllllIIIIIIIIlllllIIIIllllllllIIIIlllllllIIIIlllIIIllIllllllllllllllllllllllllIllllllll hastened to invite him to their humble cottage, because, although she saw a lean, brown horse instead of a milk-white steed, she felt sure that this was her Prince Charming. This young man turned out to be a trapper homeward bound after a month's visit to a brother in the city. His home was in New Hampshire, where he owned an island in the middle of one of those lovely mountain lakes. His name was Pierre Rollin. Pierre proved good company, and entertained lVIarie Jeanne and her family far into the night with stories of the wild country in which he lived. He did not leave the next day, nor yet the next, but with many and various ex- cuses he stayed on. Pierre and Marie Jeanne became fast friends, and. often walked in the forest together. It was not until the third evening that he announced his in- tention of leaving the next morning and that Marie Jeanne told him of her father's wish in regard to her marrying John Weaver. Pierre was very angry and sympathetic at the same time. Together they plotted, and finally came to a conclusion, which seemed to please both of them, though,Marie Jeanne was a bit nervous. The next morning both were missing, and also two horses from the barn. They had eloped. The mother and father were at first angry and finally distracted with fear. When days, weeks, and months passed and no sign of the missing daughter, their fear turned to despair. As Pierre and Marie Jeanne rode side by side about a week after their elop- ment, he told her that since they were married he would share the secret of his island with her. Cn his island was buried a wonderful treasure which had been given him by his father, who was a sea captain. Around this treasure he had built a fort to protect it from the Indians, who lived along the lake shore, and were-very much dreaded by the settlers. There was a small settlement on the mainland, about three miles from Pierre's island, and, being well fortified, it was safe from Indian attacks. It was to this village that Pierre and his wife were going. After weeks of hard travel, they finally arrived, and were joyously welcomed. They remained here for some time while a house was being built on the island. They lived in the middle of a wonderful lake, dotted with hundreds of small islands, and surrounded by mountains, and were as happy as the birds that sang all day on their island. One day Pierre received news that he must travel far away to a sick relative, but he could not take Marie Jeanne with him. She could not stand the hardship of the trail, and the bitter coldness of nights beneath an open sky. She refused to go to the settlement, and insisted on remaining in their little home until he returned. On his departure he warned her of the Indians, telling her that if she saw any signs of them to get into her canoe as fast as possible and go to the settlement where Father Rondeau would care for her until his return. The third day after he had gone, Marie Jeanne sat by the window sewing, and gazing out over the blue water to where the peaked mountains pierced the sky, Sud- denly she saw canoes dancing on the water not half a mile away, and recognized them at once for the war canoes of the Havaki Tribe. Marie Jeanne lost no time in getting into her own canoe, which was tied up at the wharf. Ars she had always paddled with Pierre she found it difficult to guide herself. When she was half way across the lake a sudden squall came up, and, in less time than it takes to tell, the sky, such a short IlllllllllllllIIIIIlllllIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlIl!IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII mm IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII1IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIV 58 T H E T O R C H 'IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII III IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII I I IlllllllllllllllllllllllI lllllll IIIIII I IIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII In IIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllnlIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII time ago so blue, was dark and threatening, and the waves were mountain high. The frail canoe with its light burden rocked to and fro dangerously, While Marie Jeanne, thoroughly frightened, tried vainly to steer for land. In the end it capsized, and the poor girl was never seen again, although, when the canoe was washed ashore, the settlers searched for days and days, meeting with no success. At the end of the week Pierre rode into town, and it was not long before he learned the tragic news. He was 'heart-broken. He spent a week on their island, and then saddling his horse, rode away and never returned. l'd like to have kilt some of them lndians, grandfather, said Dickey? soberly. I wish you hadn't let the heroine dief' remarked the eldest child, gazing into the Hre. It's much more romantic to have the heroine saved just at the right minute. My dear childf' said the old man, I could not change the end of this tale, if l choose, because it is a true story, and if you were to go to that lake in New Hampshire you would surely see the island of Pierre Rollier and lVIarie Jeanne. The fort about the buried treasure is still there, though no one has ever found the treasure. VVhat did you think of my bedtime story tonight, little Janney? he asked the child in his lap. He received no answer, and looking down found her fast asleep with one chubby thumb in her month and her old rag doll clasped tight to her heart. NORA LEE ANTRIBI, '25.

If I have ever heard your honorable mouth utter those honorable words once, I have honorably heard them a thousand honorable times, patiently murmured the Japanese tray, who had not yet dropped his oriental form of speech. The clock paid not the slightest attention to him and continued, It certainly is nice that I have been placed across the room from the mirror, for I can see to straighten these grape leaves of mine. How gracefully my pendulum swings! The chandelier is slightly in the way, though. There you go again, said the chandelier peevishly, Hyou are always picking on me. It was just the other day that you blamed me for being in the way so that you couldn't see the new maid when she dropped that tray of dishesfl Thank my honorable ancestors that I was not dropped like that, breathed the Japanese tray. You know very well I can't help it,,' rattled on the chandelier. I don't see why you have to bring up such an unpleasant subject. Oh, wellff replied the clock, who did not like to be argued at as well as to argue, 'Klet's change the subject. I'll tell you about my love affairs. 'Speaking of love affairs, interrupted the chandelier, Hyou ought to be glad that I was in the way when you tried to flirt with that new vase which was taken, back to the store, for would you believe it, my dear, the maid said he was cracked ? . A'Cracked ? gasped the clock, 'Kyou don't say. Well, I am thankful I didn't flirt with anybody who was cracked. Why-. All conversation was cut short as the maid came in to set the table for supper. VVhen she had finished and had gone out, the Japanese tray spoke: Seeing that silver reminds me of something that happened last night. I was awakened rather early in the morning by mufhed footsteps. Qpening my eyes with a start, I saw a strange man standing in front of me., This man had a flashlight in his hand, a black cloth over the lower part of his face, and he walked with a creeping stealthiness. He went over to the sideboard, and, after a moment of concentrated listening, began to put the silver into a bag. A burglar ? asked the chandelier. Exactly what I thought, replied the tray, and continued, Hwhen he had gotten all the silver, he started for the door, and-. Do go on,', exclaimed the chandelier, who was in great suspense. Well, as I was saying, he had gotten to the door when-. Goodness, here come the humans for supper, I'11 tell you later. I canlt wait. Go on, quick,', nearly screamed the chandelier. But the tray answered not a word, for the humans had come into the dining-room. MARGARET GREEN, ,25.

Having murmured, All right, very indistinctly, I turned over for . my morning nap. Suddenly the thought entered my mind that maybe this was not Saturday, and I had better get up. I pondered on this for a few minutes, and finally concluded it was Wednesday. Groaning at the thought, I decided to arise. lVIy-toilet being completed, I gathered up my books, and started for breakfast. At the top of the steps I stopped suddenly, and stared wildly around. Then, dropping everything, I rushed pell mell back and began to tear off my dress. I had forgotten it was gym day, and had dressed accordingly. In the midst of my re-dressing, I heard the faint echo of the breakfast bell, and, being desperate, threw things on in the most remarkable way, leaving off tie and handkerchief, and, in my wild hurry, forgetting to powder my nose. Being late for breakfast, I had to hurry through in order to reach school before the bell rang. I ran most of the way, consequently forgetting to mail the letter I had so carefully brought. Reaching school, I rushed upstairs. When I gained the third Hoor it burst upon me that I had forgotten to leave my sweater in the basement, The morning that followed was one continual Uforgetf' In Latin I had forgotten to copy off the board something very important, and so missed half my lesson. In physics I had forgotten the rule Mrs. Smith had taught us the day before. My fol- lowing study period was of no use, because I had forgotten what the lesson was, as well as having forgotten the book, which was reposing on my desk at home. All recess I sat in assembly hall wondering where everybody was, and it was not until the bell rang that I remembered I should have been at a very important class meeting. French passed uneventfully, except that I had forgotten paper and pencil. English came next, and I forgot what lVIiss Greenleaf had told me, and talked to Elizabeth Lee. She changed my seat, which caused me much sorrow. Last, but in no way least, was geometry, which was the only class that day through which I passed unforgetfully. Now, to my horror, I discovered it was raining, and having forgotten my umbrella, I had to walk home in the pouring rain. After dinner, while I was sitting peacefully sewing, a voice bawled from above, Nora Lee, you're wanted on the phone! Forgetting that the front stairs had just been re-varnished, I rushed up, leaving a large footprint on each step. Reaching the telephone I took down the receiver to hear the dressmaker say that I had forgotten my appointment. I sat down weakly on the nearest piece of furniture, forgetting to hang up the receiver, and wondered what I would forget next. I went downtown to shop, and came home late with several things I did not need, and found I had for- gotten the main object I had gone for. This was getting serious. How long would this curious spell of forgetfulness last? Supper finished, I studied, and then prepared for bed without any further mishap. I soon fell asleep, utterly exhausted with forgetting. I had not been asleep long be- fore I waked up with a start to find the light on in my room. I was petrihed, and looked around wildly, expecting any minute to gaze into the muzzle of a revolver held by some villianous-looking burglar. Seeing no one, I began to wonder why my light was burning in the the night. Slowly to my dazed brain crept a solution. Of course, I had forgotten to turn it off. N. L.

All the graduat- ing class was in the little room back of the stage, waiting for the time to go on. Over in one corner a black youth of seventeen might be seen making gestures and muttering to himself. Every now and then he pulled out his handkerchief and wiped his forehead. ' Qver in the corner with the girls was a small girl with long Hpig-tails, who was looking at him lovingly. This was his sweetheart, Indy. When she thought he :was looking in her direction she would give a smile. But Jimsky did not see the smiles. Perhaps, if he had, he would have had a little more courage. At last the class filed on the stage, The service began. Finally Jimsky heard the principal say, De next number on de program will be a speech by Mr. Jimsky Fitz-Washington.'l Jimsky arose. He felt the cold sweat breaking out on his brow. He came for- ward to the front of the stage, made a small bow and began: H 'The Valoo of a Edicationf Ladies an' gen'men, it do er-er give me er-er great er-er pleasure to er-er be hea' tonight. Ilse gwine to speak to you' all on 'The Valoo of Edicationf He rached in his pocket, pulled out his handkerchief, wiped his forehead, and went on, Edication is a article which er-er all er-er young ladies an' young gen'men right a have.

He continued, 'Edication ought a be developed er-er had er-er by ev-y-er-er boy and girlf, A giggle was heard again. This time it came from the audience. ffimsky began pulling at hs coat. Then he cleared his throat and began again, I wouldlt take nuttin' in dis' whole wide wull for my edication. Some day I rnay wanna, er-er be pres'den' of dis hea' country. At this a roar of laughter greeted him. He pulled at the back of his collar, ran his Hngers through his hair, and cleared his throat. Ladies an' gem'men, edication is vey-ka-chew l ka-chew I The audience nudged one another and laughed. Poor Jimskyl He was ruined. Something tickled his nose and made him sneeze again. But still something tickled his nose. He put his hand to his neck and there he found his handkerchief. In his confusion he had stuck it in his collar instead of in his pocket. He gave the audience a sickly little smile. Then he continued: The' fo' ladies an, gen'men I done come to de conclusion dat edication am vely valooablef' At last his oration was at an end. Jimsky sat down. He glanced in the direction of Indy, who was proudly beaming on him. After the commencement, he walked home with Indy. On the way home, he felt a little hand on his arm. Indy turned to him and said, -limsky, I sho' is proud of you. Ah, go on, replied Jimsky bashfully. HI sho' is, responded Indy. Jimsky trod on air. What did he care about all those people? Indy was proud of him. By JEANNETTE CoL.LiER, '26.

No wonder his poor distracted mother was extremely surprised to see this display of grief. It had always been a joke with the neighbors that Jimmy was so afraid of girls. If he were out skating and some nice little girls came out to indulge in the same past-time, he would immediately stop. lf he were in a game of tag and some of the weaker sex began to play, he would back out, and, if a young lady would stop to speak to him, he was petrified. The barber went on with his work. Every clip of the scissors was accompanied by a heart-rending scream. The work complete Jimmy and his mother left the shop.

Peat liked Kate, but, of course, it was Duplikate who liked Peat, and with Repeat it was exactly opposite. It was quite embarrassing when Peat hugged or kissed the wrong girl or when Repeat began making love to the other. This was a very sad state of affairs and one day it went too far. The two brothers had decided together to propose, but this didn't happen as it should have. Unknown to them, the girls got mixed again, and right in the midst of the most violent part, when both Peat and Repeat were down on their knees to their lady loves, it dawned upon them that they each had the wrong young lady. Kate and Duplikate did not mind in the least, and they only thought it was a joke, but it bored the boys very much, At last, after apologizing, they exchanged girls and the proposal went on as fine as silk. 1 The wedding day came, and, as they had always done everything together, they decided to be married together. At the altar, there were complications again, which were finally straightened out and the knot tied. To this day Peat and Repeat are sometimes in doubt as to whether they have the right one or not, but I guess this happens to everyone once in a while, whether they are twins or no twins.

This lighthouse is at Markland, Nova Scotia, and it is the third largest in the world. One in China is the largest. After walking for about an hour, we soon came to a steep hill, on top of which was a small house. The house was the home of the old lighthouse keeper. Yve climbed to the top of the hill and went up on the porch of the house. It was very small, having only three rooms downstairs and two upstairs. We knocked on the door once or twice, and, after waiting a little while, the door opened and an old man came out, dressed in patched clothes, which were very dirty indeed. He looked like he hadn't shaved for about a year, and his face was dirty, too. He asked us what we wanted and we told him we wanted to go up into the lighthouse. He asked us to wait until he could put on his shoes. So we did, and in a few minutes he came out in a muddy pair of shoes, all ready to take us up in the lighthouse. The lighthouse is on a huge rock, jutting out into the middle of the harbor. lt is very tall and has a great light at the top. The lighthouse keeper took a key out of his pocket and unlocked a small door, which was so small that when we Went in, we had to bend over. He led us into a room with one little window and turned on a light. At one end of the room we saw some steep steps, almost like a ladder, and the old man led us up those, then another flight, and still another, until we came to a littlegbalcony around the lighthouse. All of use went out on it and we could see all over the cape and for many miles out to sea. After that, we climbed up a tiny ladder, to where the light was. This light is enormous and, when the sun shines on it, it turns all different colors. The light also revolves on a platform and at night sends its bright rays for miles out to sea, warning the sailors of their dangers. After seeing all there was to see, we went down the steps, and thanked the old man for showing us around, then started home, having had a fine time. HENINGHAB'I LEAKE, '28.

After leaving school at 2 o'clock, we drove down in our car, Hlled with enthusiastic girls. We stopped in front of, the five-and-ten-cent store to get our school colors, and decorated our car. While decorating it, about a dozen people stopped and asked us if we were going to a wedding. Of course we had to explain why we were so enthused over decorating the car. After the last piece of decoration was put up, we piled in, and drove up and down the streets singing our school songs at the top of our voices. When we got to the game, we were so excited we did not know what to do. St. Catherine's got ahead, and then Collegiate would get ahead, but finally St. Catherine's win the victory. RENA GREGORY, '31. IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII The Little Flag-A True Story HERE were once two little girls named lVIeta and Janet. They lived in the time of the Civil War. When the Yankees went through the town Janet and Meta were made to stay indoors. But the little girls liked to hear the bands and see the beautiful uniforms. So one day they went across the street to a neighbor's. One of the big girls dared Meta to stick a little Confederate Hag in her hat. She did it, and after awhile the army came to a stop. A general dismounted and walked up to Meta and commanded, Give me that flagll' I won't, she returned stoutly. He insisted. She took the Hag in her hand, tore it in half, and said as she gave it to him, There-l The day after the doorbell rang at their house. The mother of the children answered the door. The soldier asked, Where are the little girls that were across the street when the army was coming through the town ? I am sorryf' she said, but my little girls were in the house at that time. The soldier said, The little girls said they lived over heref' I donit think my children were out, but I'll call them. They came. P Their mother asked them if they had been out. Yes, they said. Little girls, said the soldier, I am ashamed of the general that took the Hag from you. I want you to make a little Confederate Hag for me, and I will come for it tomorrow. He did so. About thirty years after my grandmother, who was Janet, wrote the little story and put it in the paper. Some one wrote to her and said that her father had carried that little Hag all during the war, even though he was a Yankee, and when he died it was found in his vest pocket. lVIy grandmother begged her to give it to her to put in the Confederate Museum, but as it was her father's she would not give it up.

This year a greater percentage of girls has come out for every kind of sport than ever before, and probably the percentage will become greater as the years roll on, until it is raised to a hundred. What could be more perfect? In the fall, tennis claimed the undivided attention of all, and great enthusiasm was displayed in the Elimination Tournament. Those who were eliminated in their first game laughingly said, Joke's on mell' While the remaining players slowly dwindled down to Mary Currie'Battle, champion, with Anne Lamb, runner-up. The Inter-Class Tournament was won by the Seniors after a hard fight, which proved very interesting to the on-lookers. Basketball, the mid-winter sport, gave not only the team, but the whole school, a chance to show just what the Collegiate Spirit really was, and if the team ever felt a wee-bit sore around the heart, after losing a game, it was because they were thinking how unworthy they were of that faithful director who shouldered all the blame, continued to advise, and never lost confidence in them. Swimming, track, and baseball come into prominence in the spring season, and all athletes participate with hearty enthusiasm. There are quite a number of Hsh who would swim twice a week if the pool were not full, and although the whales have a little advantage over the tadpoles, they seem to get along pretty well together. The tracksters continue to break records, and sometimes they even break windows, which fact our Head Very graciously overlooks. We wonder, too, who will be our Babe Waltonl' this year when we begin swatting flies on the vacant lot. The All-'Round CH has the unfailing capacity for broadening athletic abilities to cover a much wider area. In short, to bring oneself into close proximity with that distant C, one must be skilled in every species of sports. No single-track girls for us! The class that outdoes all other classes in a majority of the above-mentioned sports is awarded the athletic banner. Each class is Hghting hard. Who will win this banner? That is the question.

Most of the old members joined again, and, of course, many new ones joined. When we heard that Mr. Saunders was going to ride with us again, all the members, new and old, were delighted. We rode on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. The beginners went on Mondays, the next advanced on Tuesdays, the experienced on Thursdays, and the best riders of all on Fridays. A notice of the requirements for each class was posted on the bulletin board at school,.iand each girl signed up to ride on the day for which she was best qualified. At the close of school on each riding day there was a mad dash for the lockers, a fierce struggle with unmanageable boots, or other riding requisites, and a general choosing of horses. After the last of the slow-pokes was dressed, we sat patiently CPI on the front steps to await the arrival of Mr. Saunders, the cunctator, with the horses. If we were in the Monday class, we waited for the automobiles to come to take us to Sherwood Park. We beginners mounted and dismounted in Sherwood Park to avoid riding through the city. WVe did not ride far from our mounting place, for we went very slowly., Those of us who were in the more advanced classes had a better time. VVe mounted at school, rode further and faster than the beginners, and returned to dis- mount at school. .We took many long and beautiful rides over the surrounding coun- try. Sometimes we rode out to the end of Monument Avenue, and, then, to West- hampton by way of a very Hwoodsyl' bridle path near Patterson Avenue. On other days we rode out Hermitage Road, turned at the A. P. Hill Monument, and rode through the woods to Bryan Park. On very rare occasions we rode to Dumbarton, Virginia. Most of us liked the last ride best because it was the longest and because the scenery was so beautiful. Last winter there was a horse show in which the Riding Club, as a whole, took part. This winter there was a horse show in which several members of the-Riding Club took part and won prizes. X We had very bad luck with our parties this fall on account of the cold and dampness. Mr. Saunders promised us a Weenie roast in the fall, but we did not have it until spring. We all enjoyed it very much because we had been looking for- ward to it for so long. Several of the members of the Riding Club gave us perfectly wonderful parties this spring. We rode to their homes Qwhich were in the suburbs or in the countryj and had a delightful time there. They did have delicious eats, too-a thing which added greatly to our-pleasure. We really had a most successful season and had a jolly-good time up to the last ride. KATHRYN EICHEL, '25.

The chapel meetings are the only time the school can meet together as a whole. 1 Aside from the regular morning exercises, special programs add va- rietypand enjoyment to our meetings. We often have delightful surprises from the different departments of the school. These surprises often come from the Music Department. Sometimes a budding musician displays her talent or a class sings for us. This past year the Science Department divided honors with the Music Depart- ment. Several members of the physics class gave the life-history and importance of the men about whom they were studying. , We enjoyed several readings from the oral expression class. We are begin- ning to appreciate the necessity of speaking distinctly and clearly. Members of the faculty talked from time to time on matters of current interest. Miss Ruffin gave a clear description of Lee's military career. Miss Alvord, by de- scribing Wilson, when she had seen him, before and after his illness, brought out a striking contrast in his appearance. Miss Clark gave us a better idea of the Edward Bok Peace Awardf, which was interesting as well as instructive. The English Department contributed a great deal to the drive for the Annual put on by the Seniors. Several classes wrote compositions on Why Collegiate Should Have an Annualf' Some of these were read in chapel. A member of each class in the Upper School gave a talk before the school, boosting the annual. Besides these efforts to obtain subscriptions for the annual, the Seniors offered a prize to the class obtaining the largest number of subscriptions. Seniors were sta- tioned on each floor of the building to distribute tags with THE TORCH printed on them to all subscribers. lf you didn't wear THE TORCH, there had to be a reason why. Whether the posters accomplished as much as the other efforts to get subscrip- tions or not, they attracted the most attention and admiration. They appeared on the walls at the landings, the head of the steps, and along the halls, commanding the at- tention by such cautions as these: Don't Go to Sleep on the Annual, or Don't Fall Down on the Annual, accompanied by appropriate drawings. The blackboard drawings in the assembly were particularly good. One showed a young girl dropping pennies into a bank, Save Up for the Annual. Towards the end of the campaign, this poster was replaced by one depicting a girl held up by a robber, entitled Your Last Chance. . Though the Seniors put the drive on, they would not have been able to succeed without the splendid co-operation of the other classes. CORINNE SHEPPARD.

The school tried to carry out this object by sending food to two day nurseries at Thanksgiving, by carry- ing food, clothing, and toys to worthy families at Christmas, and by making a donation to the Crippled Children's Hospital. It has been the custom of the school to bring an offering of food at Thanksgiving. Each class contributes one or two baskets of fruits, vegetables, or canned goods. This year, besides the usual offerings, there were two live donations, a turkey and a duck, which were quite overcome by the Thanksgiving exercises and had to be taken out. There were enough baskets to fill four automobiles and to be divided between the Sunnyside Day Nursery and the Bell Bryan Nursery. At Christmas, Collegiate saw that several worthy families had their share of Christmas cheer. Not only were clothes distributed to the families, but each child had toys and candy. The Primary and Intermediate children provided new stock- ings and filled them with nuts, candy, fruit, and a toy. They also trimmed a tree, which looked very gay and festive, decorated with the ornaments they had made. If it had not been for the untirinrg efforts of Miss Clark in reminding the girls to bring the clothing and in sorting it out according to the needs of the families, we would not have had as good a showing as we did. Miss Ruffin kindly lent her car to aid in dis- tributing the bundles. In fact, everyone did her part. Some of the teachers and girls personally distributed the -clothing and toys, an accommodation which they saw was needed and appreciated. For several years individual classes have taken an interest in the Crippled Chil- dren's Hospital by carrying the-children toys, or by taking care of a bed for a year. This year the school donated four beds, the faculty giving one bed and the girls the other three. C. S., '24.

After much practice on pantomimes during the fall, the club gave in as- sembly, the day before Christmas holidays, a pantomime of the Nativity, On George Washington's birthday several members acted in pantomine the story of the cutting of the cherry tree. ln the spring came the last performance of the Dramatic Club, a comedy entitled Two Crooks and a Ladyf, The story is that of an old and paralyzed lady, who cleverly protects herself and her property from two crooks by turning them against each other. The play was a great success, the story being good and the acting better. Though this is the first year' Collegiate has had a Dramatic Club, the members have found the work both profitable and interesting. lllllllllllllllllllll The Senior Plays It has always been the custom at Collegiate for the Seniors to give a play, some- times two. This year they broke all records and gave three, one of which was a panto- mine. ln this way practically every member of the class was able to have a part in the acting. ln the tragedy, Will o' the Wisp, a fashionable society lady visits a hut in the moors in which her husband formerly spent a summer. There jealousy compels her to follow a strange-looking girl into the night. lgnorant of the fact that she is fol- lowing the Will o' the Wisp, she goes on and is lost forever to her friends. The comedy, Neighbors,,' is an unsophisticated, small-town story. An old maid has a small boy thrust on her hands to support and bring up. Before the boy reaches the town, the neighbors of the old maid hasten to offer suggestions and old clothes. The exaggerated characters make the play very funny. The pantomine is a romance. All three of the plays were very good, the tragedy was serious, and the comedy was funny.

HE Duke of Dunkley had retired to his lodge at Belzfin with a few of his friends. The Duke was a good Hunter, and his chief delight was to take ad- vantage of a wonderful season. So with his friend, Chapin, he set out to an- swer the wild duck's Call. Now as each of his friends also had an especial aim for coming here, each set about his own pleasure. Rueger in a tight-fitting Taylor-made suit began to chop the Pffood, or rather to lose a few pounds. I-Iorsley, equally as anxious, resolved in the language of a good Clzristifzn to give him a race, which re- sulted in the loss of a suit rather than a pound. Gregory was a rather effeminate chap, who wished to learn something about farming. Therefore he proceeded into the Gordon to Sprinleel the sweet Willizzzfzs, but the brilliant song of the Robins en- raptured him more than the flowers, and he determined to take up the study of ani- mal life. This resulted in the attempt to play the part of a Sheppard tending a Young Lamb, but alas! how could a man of his character take anything seriously-except the opposite sex? However, Saunders, a true fisherman, Bates his hook for Kristen, and soon brings home a good dinner for the ambitious group to Fry.
