Miss Cavers, Miss Holland ifutetnurh At last we have come to the point of graduation. For years we have been looking forward to it, ever thinking that we should be perfectly contented when that goal was reached. But now! Are we so sure that it will give us a thrill of joy, self-satisfaction, 'and cheerful contentment? We find that this long-hoped-for time is one which we would 'willingly put off - indefinitely. When we think of all we intended to accomplish in our high school' course, the subjects we had al- ways meant to take but had never taken, the remarkable record we meant to leave behind us, so that everyone would, in years to come, remember with joy and admiration the class of twenty-two, we feel that graduation is too conspicuous, and that it ought to be indefinitely postponed. This, however, is impossibleg and since we have fallen short of many of our aims, we resolved, as a last effort to keep one aspiration in sight, to leave you all a reminder of our worth-this ANNUAL.

But as luck would have it, we drew for our adversaries those skillful seniors. We were doomed! Nevertheless we played our best, and startled those complacent girls by getting ahead of them once. We are duly proud of frightening them. The next exciting event was our annual party to the honored seniors. As the result of Miss I-lolland's coaching we gave a play, The Maker of Dreams, an artistic comedy, involving a Pierrot, a Pierrette, and a Maker of Dreams. Lovelady' Hamilton, Marian Tracy, and Laura Earle took these parts and we think they did them very well. We hope the seniors had a good time-we did. Now about this time it was decided by the Philanthropic Committee that each class should give a sum of money to some charitable organization, and we agreed, with great enthusiasm, to donate our funds to the Near East Relief. We came to earth with a thud one day, however, when we realized that we had no funds. We were in fact, practically penniless. We were inspired with the remark- able idea of a candy sale. Original or not, it did the deed, and now We feel ourselves quite wealthy, for something rattles in our treasury when we anxiously shake it up and down.

They thought if the members of the class could meet, 'give a few stunts, play games, and have refreshments, if possible, it would add greatly to the class spirit. Furthermore, the members of the class would learn to know each other better, and would make our Work more enjoyable. N The first meeting was a success. It was held in the Kindergarten room of the Progress Club. Only three or four girls were not there. We appointed a committee to arrange the program for the next week, and this has continued ever since. The most convenient time for the meeting was on Tues- day afternoon. At first the meetings were held each week, but towards the beginning of the second semester, we thought it best to have them only every two weeks. After the regular program, the girls dance until it is time to go home. This is the first club of its kind ever started in the school. - KATHERINE SATER Jfresijman Cltilass Zlctihities As for our Class Project, Hall Duty, let me illustrate. Little girl rises suddenly in the middle of a study period, and races for the teacher. I simply forgot all about hall duty! l'm dreadfully sorry! May I go now? Teacher smiles pityingly, and gives her consent. Little girl meanders to her place amidst the teachers. A few moments pass. Elderly teacher approaches. ' Are you on hall duty? Find Sally Smith, and hurry, please. This last drawn out. Lit- tle girl jumps up and runs to study hall door. Fifty heads turn as if mechanically. Every one looks at her anxiously. Little girl, overcome with all this attention, forgets Sallie Smith entirely, and in a sudden moment of despair retreats. Then she screws up her courage again, and presents herself to Miss Daniels' class. Timidly, ls Sallie Smithin here, please? Miss Daniels gives her a hurried glance and replies that she is not. But little girl can't help noticing how hopeful and pleased the class looks at the interruption. Little girl takes heart and says pleasantly: Thank you, Miss Daniels. ' Then she goes to the eighth form room, and ruthlessly opens and closes the door, leaving the class to gaze longingly after her. -She opens and closes other doors, but Sallie Smith is still not found. Then suddenly from the other end of the hall appears Mademoiselle. Ha-h-a, this in a satisfied tone. One demerit for loitering in the hallli' Little girl spends the next ten minutes arguing in simple explanation of the cause. The point is at last proved. Ma- demoiselle clearly seems disappointed. Little girl, with a sudden pang, remembers Sallie! She hopelessly begins a second round when elderly teacher approaches. Never mind, dear. I just found out that Sallie was excused this morning. Sorry to trouble you. ! l'hat's quite all right, says Little girl sweetly and earnestly. She returns to her seat,!and opens her book to spend the few remaining moments in much-needed study. Bell rings. She jumps up gleefully! Has she not good cause to be happy? Her lessons may have suffered, but she has clone her duty. She goes to her long-suffering teachers with a rainbow in her soul! 1924 22 I II III IV V VI VII VIII IX X illibe iBerfert Girl Top Knot Hair Elizabeth Colgan Hands Anne Stewart Eyes Mary K.

ANNE ELIZABETH G1LB15RT, Sixth Form Grand Hotel, Castello a lVlare Taormina. March l9, l922. Dear Sixth Form: I will begin at the beginning and end at the end. All ready? Pay attention, Dorothy Nelson. At the Azores it was beautiful. Wait a minute before I begin. I want to tell you that there are no stretchers, some things sound a lot like it but they aren't. It was all rough, the water I mean. It was so rough they would not let us go ashore the first day. - When we did go we had to go in little row boats and yougot thrown all around in the boat. Before we went ashore all the natives came down in little boats to sell their goods. I'll give the list of the colors the houses were: blue, light and dark, azure, royal, sky, every shadeg green, the same as blue, purple and lavender, the same as greeng red and pink, the same as pur- pleg yellow and orange, the same as red. In shorter words they were more beautiful colors than you know of. These are just some things I noticed or found out: l. This pen is bad, I noticed that before I began writing. 2. Everybody from A to Z at the Azores went barefooted, rich or poor. 3. A house wasn't called good unless it had a balcony. This is all about the Azores, remem- ber. 4. I saw a store keeper in his store with a monacle. We Wanted to see the American Counsil, so we asked a man the way. He told a Portugese boy to take usg of course none of us could speak Portugese, and we said, Would11,t it be nice if he could speak English. I can he said proudly. Then he said the marines taught him and he could not have spoken better English. Then he told us his whole history pretty nearly. He said his name was Luis Morris, that is the way he spelled it, both s's are as hissy as you can make them. He said he was eighteen, and he was not any taller than I am, not one bit. All the kids are just as short. 25 f . Top-Knot . 'I-hey all smoke cigarettes, 'too. Luis said his sister was seven years old and she smoked, and little kids five years old going up to each other and asking for a light. He said he had been to Balti- more. He was working on a ship when he went there. Luis said most of the people made their living by growing pineapples. ' Luis could speak Spanish and French too. He would not go away, he acted as our guide all day. He even told us he had a girl, and was going to marry her, and bring her to America to live. In the park they had music every Sunday. Out in the ocean not far from land was an old wrecked boat and its name was the Yellow- stone, and it came from San Francisco. The Azores were all in bloom when we got there. It was all green and lots of ripe pineapples. We bought five of them. ' We had artichokes on the boat about every dayf After the Azores we had nice weather, but before we had rotten Weather. They had dances every other night and it rocked so much they all fell on top of each other. I was seasick two days in two weeks. THE NEXT STORY IS ALGIERS It seemed funny to be in Africa. At Algiers we went across to land in a motor boat, but that was not much steadier than a row boat. Wheii we got on land we saw the Arabs sleeping on the sidewalk. They all wore turbans and the Turkish women all wore veils. There was about 400 kegs of wine and beer piled up in the street. The Arabs all wanted to sell their goods of course, and if you didn't want a thing at first they just kept on telling you how wonderful it was until you bought it, or if you didn't want it, then you had to use force to push them away. It was awfully hot when we got there and the pepper trees, fig trees, palm, orange, lemon, and the magnolias were out. I am buying some things every place I go, and in Algiers I bought a little book this big, that unfolded and had eight pictures of Algiers inside. I got a spoon that the Arabs made toog my brother got a silver dagger. In Algiers the houses and buildings were one uniform color. It was a whitish cream color. At the Azores and Algiers both they had beautiful gardens. The governor's guard was very grand, he was the blackest person you ever saw. He had on a red hat, and brown shirt, and blue trousers, with a gun. He hardly moved a peg all day. In the afternoon we went to the Arab quarters, the old part of town. All of their streets were not as big as our side walks, they were about 3 feet wide without one little speck of sunlight and with the awfullest smells and odors you ever heard, saw, or felt of. Their doors were a little less than half of our regular doors. There were lots of scribes by the street if you want :to call it a street. Some of the doorways were beautiful but everything else was ugly. The Vegetables were put out to sell. It was the dirtiest foodl ever saw. Next Palermo and the country around it. Even at Palermo we'couldn't just step off of the boat and be on landg we had to be rowed over. Some men came over and rowed along beside us. They thought we would like to hear Suwanee River so they started to play it, we told them to play something Italian so we were sere- naded all the way over. , ' We stayed at the Hotel Panormus. I didn't think much of Palermo itself, but I like the country around it. ' We went up to Monreale to see the church. I will send you some postals of it. It had pictures of when God first made the world and the Ark and all the Bible pretty near. It is supposed to be the most wonderful of all of the churches of Europe and I can easily see how it might. It was so beautiful you cannot describe itg you will see when you get the postals. I will send them to Mrs. Lovell to keep for her picture talks next year, because you can't get them in Italy or any other part of Sicily. I will send this off and write about the rest some other time or this will never get there. I have kept it ever since Poarmina and we are in Napoli now.

CAROL lVloR'roN BARRICKLOW, Third F or-m. jliilp 'triatatiun This summer, I went to Michigan. My aunt has a cottage up there. I would go in swimming every afternoon. After I went swimming, I would take our canoe, and paddle over to Indian River. We had our meals over there. One day while we were eating, we all smelled smoke. All at once it got so strong we all had to go out, and when we got out, the hotel was starting to burn. They just had to let it burn to the ground because there wasn't any fire department. Our cottage caught on fire in the night once, but some of the men put it out with the hose. It started from our big lire in the front room. One morning I went fishing by myself, and I never dreamed I would catch a fish. All of a suddenfthere was a great jerk at my line. I just thought it was weeds. I pulled it up, and nearly drowned myself trying to get it in. It was a great big black bass. BETTY W1LL1ARD, Fifth F arm, I My Zllinur in QEurupr I left New York May l, l922, to buy for the john Wariamaker store. My journey on the boat was very interesting. After landing in Queenstown I went to a number of villages and bought hand-made linens and thread laces. From Ireland I sailed to Liverpool by way of Belfast. Then I went to Sheffield, wherel bought some cutlery. Of course I would not go to England without seeing London. I saw Westminster .Ab- bey, Tower of London, Parliament Buildings, and London Bridge. I bought books, jewelry, and other manufactured goods. Wishing to see the land of the midnight sun, I sailed for Norway, landing on the western coast. The wonderful Northern Lights were far beyond my expectations. A few dairy products are shipped from Norway, but the best products are found in I'-Ibllandg therefore I went there. I landed in Rotter- dam, where I went to the southeast till I came to the boundary between Holland and Belgium. I was on'the train part of the day before coming to Brussels. I had never seen such fine and deli- cate pieces of lace before. Of course I could not pass them without buying some. As I did not have much time I did not see many things, although I did see some statues. I slaved in Brussels all night. Then I took the train early in the morning for France. I found the French people very industrious. As I traveled along on the train, I saw many wheat fields. Finally I reached Paris. My, what a large yet beautiful city! There were people selling flowers and vegetables. While I was there I visited Notre Dame, Eiffel Tower, Tomb of Napoleon, Arc de Triomphe. Boulevards, Place de la Concorde, the Tuileries, Grand Museum, and the Art Gallery of the Louvre. 27 Top-Knot It was in Paris that I got hats, gowns, jewelry, and kid gloves. I forgot to tell you that as I passed through Rheims I saw the ruins of the beautiful cathedral in the distance. Not far from Paris is St. Cloud, where the famous Sevres ware is made. As you will remember, I wasbuying for the John Wariamakei' Company, and I bought many beautiful sets. Paris is the leading railroad center of France. I took a train and arrived in Berlin in two days. - There I bought yards of beautifully' dyed materials, and all kinds of musical instruments, as Germany is the home of music. On my way to Berlin, I came to Cologne, where I got many bottles of perfume. The reason it took me so long to go to Berlin is that I stopped in many placesg I went up to Hamburg, where I saw the big docks. I From Berlin I went to Nuremburg. This, as you know, is the city noted for toys, so I ordered many different kinds. As one cannot travel in Russia at the present time, I deferred my journey until conditions would be settled. So I went down the Danube to Vienna, which was one of the most beautiful cities before the War. Vienna has many beautiful buildings and palaces, and it is famous for its restaurants and cafes. I did not stay long there on account of lack of food g but went further down the Danube to Bulgaria and Rumania. There I bought the beautiful china and glassware which is noted all over the world. As was coming down the Danube, I saw large fields of grain. . In all these countries the people are very musical. From Rumania I went due south to neutral territory to Constantinople, which has been destroyed by fire seven or eight times, but has been re- built. In this city is the beautiful Mosque, which was in the hands of the Turks, who finally painted all over the beautiful paintings and mosaic work, and spoiled it all. In Constantinople I bought Ori- ental rugs. ' After I had been in Constantinople about a week, I went to Greece. Wheii I was on the train, Isaw many mountains. There were numerous ruins of temples and buildings. All of these were very interesting. When I came to Athens, I saw the Acropolis, and it was very interesting. The walls had huge holes, and in places no wall at all. I-lere I bought some jewelry. In the little country of Al- bania, I bought a number of pieces of lace. ' As I passed through Jugo Slavia I saw many wheat fields and vineyards. Now for sunny Italy! F ar off in the distance I could see Venice with its many beautiful canals. On either side of the Grand Canal are fine residences of white marble. I bought some Point de Venise lace here. I went to Pisa, where I saw the Leaning Tower, then to Milan where I bought many hats. After a while I left for the wonderful city of Rome. Wlierr I arrived, I nearly lost myself. There were so many places I wanted to see, I hardly knew where to begin. First I saw St. Peters and part of the Vaticang then to the ruins of the Coliseum and the Forum. In Rome I bought beautiful Roman shawls, filet lace, and Italian linens. Early the next morning I went to Naples, and from there I saw lVlt. Vesuvius. As I had little time I sailed for Marseilles, out of the beautiful Bay of Naples. At Marseilles I bought some bedspreads, and then went to the silk region and bought yards of silk. I crossed the Pyrenees lVIountains to Spain, and went down to Madrid. In the streets were many beggars who held out their hands and begged. The ladies wore many trinkets and beads. Upon their heads they wore mautillas which were made of black lace. T he Spaniards love bright colors and music. As there was nothing in particular I wanted, I only bought a few small articles. Itwas hot and dry here, so I left for Lisbon, and there I ended my tour in Europe. I left for America Decem- ber 2, 1922.

AUDREY COT!-IIDE SWEET 29 Ford up the street Top-Knot The Eragnnziking I was gloriously, perfectly happy. And why shouldn't 'I have been happy? The war was over and Peggy was back. The two things for which I had prayed every night and morning for two years had come to pass at last. Of course, you must understand by this time that Peggy was my very bestest friend, who had been serving over there. for two whole years. To be sure, it wasn't quite the same old Peggy--her real name was Nlargaret, but everybody called her either Peggy or Sun- beam-g she was just a little thin and worn, just a little less gay and happy-go-lucky, just a little nicer and a little sweeter. There was a new tenderness about her too. I had noticed it first in her glance at the peculiar ring she wore, when Bob had asked, her about it. Tears had come into her eyes at first: then she had laughed and turned it aside with, Oh, it's just a curiosity I picked up in Paris. But I, who was her best friend, knew that the ring held some unusual signihcance in her eyes. There was some story connected with it, some story too sacred for every curious ear. So as we sat there in her cosy room, talking about everything and everybody, as girls will do after a long separation, I kept glancing at the ring and wondering. It was in the shape of a dull gold dragon with a tiny ruby eye. Finally I made up my mind at least to give Peggy a chance to tell me about it. So I drawled out, Oh Peg, what a peculiar ring! Do let me see it. Much to my surprise, when I started to take it from her finger, she jerked her hand back and burst out: No, no, don't do that! Can't you see it well enough without taking it off? As I examined the ring, I felt her hand tremble, and looking up, saw tears and a far-away look in her eyes. A That ring has a story, Betty dear, she said. Would you care to hear it? Indeed I should, I nodded, That is, if you wish to tell me about it. I do, because you are my best friend, and if anything should ever happen to me, I want you to have the ring. After a moment of hesitation, she began: The first person I met outside of Paris, was Mademoiselle Marie Derrior. She was a little French woman about twenty-nine or thirty years old, I imagine, with the sweetest face I have ever seen. With a kind smile and charming manners she welcomed me, a young and inexperienced girl, bringing nothing except willing hands and a desire to help. As she clasped my hands in hers, I noticed that she wore a very unusual ring. It was a tiny gold dragon with a ruby eye. After a few preliminaries, she took me into the ward. I stopped at the door, aghast at the sight before me. A seemingly interminable row .of white beds stretched on each side of the long, long room. Each one embraced its load of pam, and here and there was a wheel chair holding an armless or a legless piece of a man. At first the men did not see us, but when they did, the faces of those suffering men broke out into such smiles that it seemed like sunshine bursting through a cloud, and those who were able cried out joyously. ' 'I-lere comes the little lVIam'selle.' As she took me down between the rows of beds, telling the men that here was a girl from home to write their letters for them and to help them along in any way she could, their eyes shone like stars with love for me. As the busy days passed, I learned to love her just as much as the men did. She was always gentle, always cheerful, never too busy to do something for one of 'her boys' I said she was always cheerful, didn't I? Well, I shall have to take that back, or at least modify it a little. Every day, just before sunset, she left the hospital for a walk. She always carried her little Bible and her cross, and there was always an excited, hopeful look on her dear face. She was al- ways gone about an hour, but when she returned, the excitement and hopefulness had all disappeared. and in their place was a profound sadness. But in a few minutes after her return, she was her old cheerful self again. I never thought much about this daily disappearance until I had been there for some time. Then I began to think it rather strange. Why did she always go at the same time? Why did she always carry the little Bible? Why was she always happy when she left and sad when she re- turned? 30 Top-Knot One afternoon I was talking to Johnny-he was the youngest man there, just a mere boy. I-le was telling me about his mother and his sweetheart back home, and how glad he was that he would soon be with them again. They would only love him the more because of the horribly dis- figured face. Vlfhile we were talking, lVla'amselle walked through the ward, generously bestowing smiles and cheerful words as she passed. In her hand was the little Bible and the cross,- and on her finger was the strange ring. Johnny followed her with loving eyes, then turned to me and said: H 'Isn't the little lVlam'selle sweet?' Then lowering his voice, he mused, 'But I wonder why she always goes out just at this time every afternoon. Do you know that she has been at this hospital for three years, and they say that she has never missed an afternoon? Everyone wonders about it, but of courseno one has ever followed her. We all respect and love her too much to pry into anything that she doesn't wish to reveal.' We went 'on talking for some time, but nothing more was said about lVlam'selle. Weeks passed and I grew so accustomed to her one peculiarity and was so busy, that I thought no more about it, un- til one day I saw something that left me more puzzled than ever. It had been a hard day at the hospital. Some of the dearest and bravest there had 'gone Wcst'. Among them was Johnny, who would never see his sweetheart again until the Great I-Iereafter. I had written such brave and sad farewell letters for some of them. Oh, it had been hard to do that, but it had been harder to write the bright, cheerful letters for the ones who did not realize that they would never go back home. Iwas worn out with the strain of it all, and decided to go for a little walk. I It was a beautiful, balmy day. The softly shining sun, the spring-y smell in the air, the grow- ing plants all about seemed to revive me with the realization that no matter how hard the winter, spring must follow. I wandered aimlessly about for a little while, filling my lungs with the good fresh air, and let- ting my weary eyes rest on the beauty about me. Suddenly I stopped short, listening intently. Surely that was a human voice I heard! Or was it only the babble of the brook? I hurried on to the tiny woods in front of me. Yes, it was a voiceg I was sure of it now. Entering the miniature forest, I had taken only a few steps when before me I saw a secluded little clearing, a spot of perfect peace. A little brook murmured its way along through flower-sprinkled banks, and the rays of the setting sun coming through the trees, cast long shadows over the velvety grass. All this was not strange, but there, kneeling on the grass, the tears streaming down her face, the Bible and the cross clasped tightly to her bosom, was the little Main-selle. It was her voice that I had heard. She was praying, praying with impassioned longing. Oh, loving Father, keep my beloved one safe. Let him abide in the shadow of Thy wings, and if it be Thy will, bring him back to me when it is all over.' I did not wait to hear any more, but crept silently away, and went back to the hospital. I told no one of what I had seen, it would have been like betraying a sacred trust. , Naturally, I often thought of this and wondered, but I did not learn any more about it for many weeks. Mam'selle still left every afternoon, and each day when she came back she looked a little sadder. She was gone longer, too. In fact she was never gay any more, although she was per- haps even sweeter to make up for this. One night I was lying on my bed in my bare little room, when I heard a knock at my door. After I murmured 'Comef the door opened, and in Walked the little lVlam'sell.e She sat down by my bed and said: 'Peggy,you are very young, my dear, but you have seen suffering and sorrow and have not grown bitter. You are still the same sweet girl that you were when you came, and I love you.' A sob came into her voice, but she choked it back, and went on: 'That is why I have come to ask you to do something for me.' As she stopped lo wipe the tears away, I said: 'Dear little Mamlselle, don't you know that anyone in the hospital would do anything on earth for you? Tell me what it is, and I will do mv best.' She gathered herself together and a great calm settled down upon her as she went on H 'My dear, I suppose you have noticed that I always leave the hospital every afternoon--'iust before sunset. I know that everyone has wondered about it, but I could not explain. I want you to know about it though, my dear.' 31 Top-Knot U 'When I was a little girl, my only companion was a boy, Jacques, about two years older than myself. We used to play together all the time, like brother and sister. Our favorite haunt was a cosy clear space in the tiny woods near here, where a happy brook laughed its way through the forest. When we were only tiny tots, we named it the Stream of Happiness. As we .grew up, the brother- and-sisterly attitude began to change, and after my parents died about five years ago, I knew that I had only jacques, and that I loved him more than my life. We were so happy after I had promised, there by the Stream of I-lappiness, to become his wife. But then the war came, and Jacques bade me farewell by the little brook, whose song was not happy any more. When he left me, he said that he would come back someday, and the little stream would again sing of happiness for us. As he kissed me farewell, he slipped this dragon ring on my finger, as the symbol of the tie that bound us so closely together. I have never ,seen him since, and I have not heard from him for three months, but I have never taken the ring from my finger, and every afternoon for almost four years, I have gone to the Stream of Happiness to pray for him, hoping each time that he would be there. He has never come, but wherever he is, I know that he loves me.' 'And now, Peggy, I have been ordered to the front. I feel that I shall never return, and would you, could you, go every day to the little brook, so that if he comes, some one will be there to meet him?' My eyes were full of tears as I told her that of course I would go. A glad light broke over her face. She slipped the dragon from her finger and said, 'I want you to have this, at least until he comesf As she put it on my finger, I threw my arms about her neck, and with a kiss sealed the sacred trust she had imparted to me. The next day the little lVIam'selle left. A great cloud seemed to settle over the hospital. I did my best to take her place, but no one could ever do that. We had just got back into the old routine when the awful news came. The hospital where lVIam'selle was had been boomedg every man and woman had been killed. I still kept on going to the Stream of Happiness. I did not think that Jacques would ever come, yet every time I went I was Hlled with dread. What should I say to him if he did come? How could I tell him that all the waiting and longing had been in vain? One day he came. The instant I stepped into the woods, I knew that he was there. I tried to control my trembling, and walked on to the clearing. Y es, there he was, .lying on the bank of the Stream of Happiness. It seemed like mockery. His face was so thin, so white: one sleeve of his faded blue uniform hung limp at his side. As I entered, he jumped up. I-lis face flooded with heavenly joy, but when he saw who it was, the awfullest sadness I have ever seen, took its place. U 'Are you Jacques?' I faltered. 'Yesf It was a strong, deep voice that answered me. 'Yes, but you aren't my Marie, my little sweetheart. I have waited and longed for four years. Do you know her? Wl1e1'e is she?' I-lis voice rose to a cry of intense passion, tearing my heart strings with the agony of it all. H 'Yes, I knew her, Jacques. I was her best friencl,' and I held out my hand as proof. Wheli he saw the ring, he grasped my hand with both of his thin, emaciated ones, and cried: U 'Where is she? Where is she9' 'Jacquesf I faltered, my heart aching, 'God is merciful. Someday in I-lis Great Eternity, you will meet on the banks of another and a truer Stream of I-lappinessf For a moment I thought I had killed him. A storm seemed to pass over his poor bodyg then a terrible peace Hooded his face. In a voice filled with deepest sorrow, he said: 'Thank you for coming. Can't you tell me anything more about ,her?' The way he said 'her'! The depth, the pathos, the reverence seemed to put a halo around the word. So I told him all I could, and then I knew that he wanted to be alone. I slid the ring from my finger and handed it to him. Before I could turn to leave, he grasped my hand and cried: 'No, nog she loved you, and I want you to wear it always, for her sake and for mine.' I-Ie slipped the little dragon back, and reverently bowing, kissed the hand that held the sacred treasure. Since that day, Betty dear, it has never left my finger. NI. B. A. '32 Top-Knot.

As the guests entered the Progress Club, they were met by four girls, dressed like Santa Clauses, who had large brown bags into which each person put a ten-cent present. After the guests had been received by Miss Ciladden and Mrs. McClure, they scattered into small groups to talk until Miss Simond's whistle gave the signal for dinner at 6:30. Each girl now took a partner, and fol- lowing the faculty, went upstairs. To the music of their class songs, the girls marched in and took their places around the long tables, decorated in Christmas colors with sprays of smilax and twisted red ribbons. After singing Miss Gladden's Here Bring We Grateful Hearts the guests were seated. As Miss Maude Cu. Smalley, who was to give a group of Christmas songs, was unable to be present, Mrs. McClure arose after the first course and gave a very amusing account of the first Christmas Dinner given in the school seventeen years ago. In the intervals between the other courses Mary Kathryn Johnson, as the Spirit of the Christmas Card, Kathryn Kellond as the Spirit of the Christmas Present, and Mary Morehouse as the Spirit of the Christmas Dinner gave very interesting talks on the true feeling which should pervacle everything connected with Christmas. Following these speeches, Mrs. McClure presented the basket ball cup and letters to the senior team, which won the fall tournament. Then Mr. Chauncey, the chief speaker of the evening, gave a most unusual and delightful talk on the Christmas spirt itself. The feast was constantly interrupted by toasts sung for each speaker of the evening. After the dinner, allthe guests returned to the lower floor where they were formed into a large circle and ordered .to turn their backs on the center. Suddenly, with a loud crash, Pop I-loenig, dressed as Santa Claus, appeared near the stage. After wishing every one a Merry Christmas, he called his four helpers, with whose aid he distributed the gifts. This unusual feature caused a great deal of merriment, especially to those who saw the dignified gentlemen wearing pink pendant ear-rings. Old-fashioned dances, including the Portland Fancy and the Virginia Reel, ended the evening's festivities. The carriages were called at nine-thirty, and everyone departed in high good humour.

After the girls had been numbered, they entered the library to speak to Miss Gladden and Mrs. McClure, but Mrs. McClure was absent, which fact was most unusual. As each girl was guessed, she took off her mask, and much to our dismay, we discovered that the black cat, whose whiskers we had pulled all the evening, was Mrs. McClure! After everyone had unmasked, the girls went to Bryden Hall to see the play which had been prepared for their entertainment by the teachers.

The hall was beautifully decorated with cherry blossoms and many Japanese lanterns which were lighted. Parasols of different colors were suspended from the ceiling, and here and there, on the sides and in the corners of the room, were smouldering incense burners which lent an oriental charm to the room. Each girl was given a dance program which was in the shape, of a triangle and painted with blue and gold, the Freshman colors. A Soon after the arrival of the juniors and faculty, The Turtle Dove was given. The hero Chang-Sut-Yen was Gwendolyn Holcomb. Solace Huntington made the charming heroine, Kwent- Lui, and the love scenes between these two were full of feeling. Elizabeth Dillon, as the Mandarin, was exceedingly good when showing rage and anger. A few words of praise must be bestowed upon the Property Man who was the only comedian in the play and a wonderful one at that. In the most serious moment he stepped out and did the opposite .thing from what would have been expected. The other characters were all good and the play was a great success. To carry out the oriental idea of the play, chop suey, rice croquettes, and tea were served for refreshments.

The favors with which we had struggled for such a long time, turned out to be very attractive and made quite a hit. We feel very sure that Mrs. McClure could not object to any of the clothes, which almost all came up to the highest standards of girlishness. FLORENCE CROCKER bsninreyuninr 1Bartp On the evening of November twelfth, Bryclen Hall presented a very pretty sight as the girls began to gather for the party which the seniors were giving to the juniors. A lace work of green and white crepe paper, decorated at intervals with bright colored balloons, formed a false ceiling. The lights were covered with variously colored crepe papers, each of which cast a pretty light out over the room. As the girls entered, they were received by the senior officers and then joined the dancers. Later on in the evening the seniors presented one of the delightful Harvard- Workshop plays, called Three Pills in a Bottle. After the play, the girls danced again until the refresh- ments were served. Then at nine-thirty, with the singing of the school and class songs, the last party of the Class of Twenty-Two ended with a flourish. E. P. R. Euninrzieniur iaartp On Saturday evening, March eleventh, 1922, the juniors entertained the seniors. Bryden Hall was decorated with green and white streamers, in a most attractive manner, and the lights along the sides of the wall were hidden behind large green shamrocks. Of course there was dancing, and eating, and everything that goes to make up a party, but the big event of the evening was the junior play, entitled The Shepherd in the Distance. It was a great success from beginning to end, and the juniors may Well hold up their heads with pride, whenever they think of the Junior-Senior party. H. H. M. 37 Tap-Knot jllttusit The 'annual recitals, given by the members of the Music Department, took place on April twenty-first and twenty-second at the .Progress Club. This year, owing to the number of music pupils, it was necessary to give two separate recitals, one by the Lower School pupils and the other by the Upper School pupils. Following the program on each evening a delightful reception was held, to which both guests and pupils were invited. This year a little club named the Wediiesday Morning Music Club has been organized under the guidance of our helpful Miss Rich. It has been maintained for the benefit of all the music students. The president is Martha Schenck, the vice-president, Helen Fowler, and the chairman of the program committee, Virginia Carey. The meetings, which have been held every second Wed- nesday morning, have proved to be both instructive and entertaining. The purpose of the club is to accustom its members to playing before an audience, and also to teach some musical history. The latter is accomplished by assigning the life works of one of the great old masters to a different member each time. Qften the girls have been able to add to the general interest of the master's life by telling amusing anecdotes. A short program usually follows, in which five or six take part. It has been cus- tomary to try to have some of the compositions of the master under discussion, played for this program. Of course, since the time for these musicals is limited, there is generally no extra time after the pro- gram, if there is any, it is used for discussing business matters. As these little gatherings are very informal, the girls feel like one big family of musicians, and realize that they are free to criticize one another in a cheerful and affectionate fashion. ' The Lodge has a Glee Club which meets on Wednesday evenings under Mrs. Gains' direction. During the winter they sang numbers on the programs of the four Sunday evening lectures given by lVlrs. Cxaines at the Lodge. The School enjoyed hearing the Lodge Glee Club sing a group of Christ- mas carols in chapel, before the Christmas play. At present they are preparing a concert perform- ance of the opera Carmen by Bizet, which they expect to present soon in chapel. In addition to the Wednesday morning musi pals, the club very often plays before the School on Friday mornings in chapel. Although several days before appearing at the recitals the girls begin to have stage fright, still they seem only too glad to do what they can to afford pleasure to others. Some- times, through the Music Department, the school has enjoyed recitals given by outside artists. We feel that the Work carried on this year by the music students has been unusually beneficial, and hope that in the future our Wednesday Morning Music Club shall continue to exist in the Colum- bus School for Girls. Music students-help to boost it! iltbe bupijumure Sumter Ratt? On the evening of Saturday, December tenth, the class of l924 gave to the class of 1922 a most delightful party. Bryden Hall was very prettily decorated in purple and gold, the colors of the sophomore class. The first part of the program was a Scarf Dance, by Dorothy Simpson. As she danced gracefully about the room, lights alternately of lavender and of gold were thrown on her. carrying out the scheme of the decorations very successfully. Marian Tracy as Pierrette, Lovelady I-Hamilton as Pierrot, and Laura Earl as the Maliufacturer, gave an excellent performance of a very quaint, pleasing little play, The Maker of Dreams. The rest of the evening was given over to dancing. After the refreshments, both classes united in cheering the teachers, the actors, the School, and themselves, and in declaring the party a great success. V. C. Qrt The main divisions of the artwork are: first, the Lower School General Art, which is required, and second, the Upper School Special Art, which is optional. , The Lower School girls draw various still life subjects, and occasionally attempt some barn-yard pet. The second group is divided into three classes: first, the drawing class, consisting of about twelve girls, who work from casts and still life: second, the water-color group of six, all of whom, according to Mrs. Cole, do better work than many Art School students of a year's trainingg last, the design girls, who are working on nothing in particular, but who are acquiring a sense of balance and rhythm very helpful in later work. 38 Top-Knot knickers So you have come to your second childhood, have you, Bobby? remarked Mr. McGraw at the breakfast table as his son sauntered in late wearing a new pair of knickerbockers. I think I like them, smiled Mother. You seem more like my boy again. Then you wouldn't care a bit if I wore knickers, too, Nlother? ventured Margie. Mrs. McGraw turned to Father, scarcely knowing what to say after a glance at Grandma who leanded forward eagerly. When I was a girl, nobody ever-'I she began, but was interrupted by her son, who said he could see her objections plainly, and then changed the subject. Grandma had not been with the family very long, and everyone avoided looking at her dur- ing the rest of the meal. In her room, after breakfast, she sat down to think. Well, of all things, she exclaimed. I-Iere I started to tell them that in my girlhood days, nobody ever got ahead of me, and they cut me off like that. Why, when everyone else used a side saddle, I rode astride. Cousin Eunice was so shocked when I wore a divided skirt on the first bicycle that came to town, that she went right to Father to remonstrate. The day I went ice skating with the boys on Ruggles Pond, the preacherls wife said I would come to a bad end. There's still some Mc- Graw pep left in me, and somehow, I will show lVIargie and the whole family that I'm.not an old crank. With a determined pat to her gray locks, she started downstairs to get a magazine. As she passed down the corridor, she overheard Margie at the telephone explaining to her chum Irene, that she couldn't get her kickers just yet. Grandma is so old-fashioned, you know, and Mother says her heart is bad, so we musln'l ex- cite her. She's always trying to tell us about when she was a girl, but who wants to hear about quilt- ing parties and husking bees! I'l1 be right over to tell you all about it. Be thankful you haven't a grandmother that's an old fogy! Surprise and then determinationshowed on Grandma's face as she quickly went to her room, put on her wraps, and went to her lawyer to explain her plans and provide available Hnances. When she returned, she packed her trunk, and told the family she was going to a sanitarium for a rest. But instead, the next day, she secretly left for Austria. In this wonderful country of science and discovery, she found a physician, who was much in advance of his times. By the aid of some secretions from monkey glands, he transformed the old grandmother into a charming girl of twenty. In this new role, Grandma McGraw returned to the family as a distant relative, Joan Cettour, whom they had never seen. Margie McGraw introduced her cousin to the smart set in town, where Joan created quite a sensation because of her beauty, personality, and cleverness. One night Joan and Margie had come early to a lawn fete, and, being tired, they seated them- selves on a stone bench beside a pool, to watch from a distance the merry throng of boys and girls. The Japanese lanterns made bright spots of color among the overhanging trees in the garden, and many booths attractively decorated, added to the scene of festivities. Margie thought she had selected a secluded spot, but the sound of voices drifting from the garden house to the pool, proved that some- one else was near. Through the shadows, Undine Holt and Henri Ranney came slowly toward the pool. After the introductions, Joan looked demurely at Henri and said, I think I have met you before. ' You must be mistaken, replied I-Ienri, for I should not have forgotten such a meeting. Perhaps, laughingly replied Joan, it was in a previous incarnation. Henri Ranney's father was a wealthy banker, who was very influential in the town. Since the death of his wife, he had tried to make up for this loss by giving his son a large allowance and free- dom to do as he pleased. The result was that I-Ienri, although egotistical, spoiled, and a spendthrift, had some sterling qualities which his environment failed to develop. Joan saw this, so she openly flirted with him to gain an influence. 39 Top-Knot Nlargie noticed that from the moment of his introduction, l-lenri's eyes frequently rested on Joan with unconcealed interest. And no wonder! Grandma, transformed into Joan Cettour, was the be- witching spirit of youth, daring, original, sparkling, vivacious. With these attractive characteristics, she also had the extensive vocabulary, broad experience, and mature judgment of a society matron. The combination attracted everyone, but she seemed to favor l-lenri above all her other admirers. Poor Undine was forgotten for this new addition to the circle, who conversed, danced, rode, and played tennis just a little bit better than anyone else. l-ler French wardrobe included the latest knickerbockers, and Margie confided in her that it was a good thing Grandma was still at the sanitarium, because she was so easily shocked by the modern girl. 1 On every occasion, Henri and Joan were to be seen together. In the places where l-lenri and Undine usually went, Joan was always present. In the morning she rode horseback with him, and in the afternoon, they went for drives in his gray Roamer over the beautiful hills surrounding the town. On one of these occasions Joan was remonstrating with him because of his reckless driving on the sharp turn, when he objected with his characteristic shrug. You preach like an old granny. I can't understand your whimsical inconsistencies. Why do you drive with me across the country without a chaperone if you don't approve of my actions? Why do you openly flirt and then assume this cool indifference? By jove! I believe you are an imp in- carnate. What would you do if I tried to kiss you? What about UndineP she asked slowly. The car swerved under his hand and then righted itself before Henri even looked at Joan. After a short pause, she began to talk earnestly about the loyalty of friendship and ideals of love. l-lenri looked at her in open-eyed amazement, and dropped his smouldering cigarette. The car went on and on, C-randma's monologue of advice interrupted only by a. murmured Goshl and Sure! This was a new type of girl to I-lenri, and he saw things as he never had seen them before. As he turned the car homeward, Joan remarked: Did you know that Undine left for the West last night, half-sick and blue?,' I know it, and it's all my fault, too, but what can I do now? When the car stopped in front of the lVlcGraw house, Joan's Goodbye was tinged with just a little sadness. The next morning, all the town was talking about the mysterious disappearance of Joan Cet- tour. She had gone as suddenly as she had come and the town gossips were busy when l-lenri left a few days later for the West. When Grandmother came back, all the family noticed that she was more sprightly and up-to- date. Every evening she and Bobby listened in on the radiophoneg she had political arguments with her son upon the respective merits of the candidates in the coming electiong and she even surprised her- self by going with Margie on a shopping tour for a tweed knickedbocker suit.

' . , .ish Y ' 40 ' Top-Knot Cltxetutihe QBrgani5atiun This year a comprehensive plan of school government has been developed, and has slowly been put into operation in all departments of the School. This organization governs practically all the School activities. Under its constitution the teachers have been organized into an Executive Committee, a Council, and a Teachers Organiation. These bodies, co-operating with the l-lead-Mistresses, have charge of all the academic work of the School, and deal with all serious cases of discipline, where the reputation and health of a pupil, or the honor and good name of the School may be involved. The Executive Organization provides also for the class organiations, and the Girls' Council, which consists of the officers of the classes of the Upper School. The Girls' Council shares with the Teachers' Council, and the Teachers' Organization, the responsibility of originating rulings for the proper conduct of the School, and the members ofthe Council and the teachers are responsible for car- rying out the School traditions, and the regulations passed by the two councils. Through the Consti- tution and the By-Laws, every girl is given an opportunity to offer suggestions for bettering the School government, or any girl can offer a petition to have changed a decision which she feels has not been fair and just. Mass Meeting On Friday, May 5, the first meeting of the teachers and pupils of the School was called to consider the object for which the proceeds of the out-door play should be used. The Teachers' and Girls' Coun- cils had both voted to submit this matter to the mass meeting, suggesting four suitable objects to which the money might be applied. - , The objects were as follows: I I. A SCHOOL FUND. This would be: first, a loan fund for alumnae who wish to con tinue their education, but who, for financial reasons, cannot do so without financial aidg second, a scholarship fund for pupils in the School who for financial reasons cannot remain. II. AN ATHLETIC FUND. This was started by the class of 1918, which left the School two hundred dollars, in the hope that future classes might see fit to add to the fund from time to time. Ill. A LIBRARY FUND. There are already in the School two library funds: first, The Mary Jordan Memorial Library for the Lower School was started in June, l92l. It has been used by the children of the Lower School throughout the present yearg second, The class of 1920 left the School two hundred dollars to establish a library of modern fiction, drama, and poetry. This library has been open to the junior and senior classes of the School for the past two years. IV. A CLASS TREASURY F UND. F rom this the proceeds should be divided among the six class funds of the School, to be used by each class as it might see lit for some worthy object. A, number of teachers and girls spoke for the different objects presented, showing the great need for a scholarship fund, for additional books, for increased athletic facilities. Among those who spoke were Miss West, Miss Peters, Miss Carey, Miss Cavers, Miss Hicks, Esther Jones, Frances Wolver- ton, Frances Ackland, and Elizabeth Bowen. - After the discussion, the vote of all the teachers and girls was taken. According to the consti- tution, the vote of all the teachers was to be counted equal to the vote of all the girls. This meant that each teacher had five votes. The result of the balloting was as follows: Athletic Fund, 299, Scholarship and Loan Fund, 85 3 Class Treasury Fund, l. 41 Top-Knot Jfants Qhuut Seniors Done most for C. S. G.

C-irls! It is terrible! Never will do in the world! Fierce! Dale, for heaven's sake, when are you going to learn your part and put some pep into it? Everyone has to stay tomorrow, all the afternoon, and anyone not knowing her part will be put right out of the cast. After this outburst, the girls Walked slowly out of the hall, and Martha, nicknamed Mart, still very indignant, turned abruptly and began to gather her papers and parts of the play. Her room- mate, Josephine Barry, was trying to help, whistling gaily, for she knew better than to try to start a conversation. Finally, still in silence, they started out across the campus, Jo looking quite ridiculous with a small clown's hat tipped over one eye, her arms full of books and papers, and her face distorted by restrained laughter. Suddenly she stumbledg the papers Hew in all directions, and she landed in the midst of them. The sight was too much for lVlart, and she burst out laughing. T his broke the tension, and Mart said. ' Do get up, you simpleton, and stop laughing! All you do is laugh! Really you have no idea how serious this play is. It must be ready in two weeks, and it has to be the best play ever given by the junior class. Dale knows perfectly well that she is the main character, and she is determined not to do one bit of work. No pep or anything! Just stands reading her part like a parrot! As for work, Dale Vincent doesn't know what the word means. The worst of it is, I don't know who could take the part any betterf! Whew! About time for you to stop raving! Listen, Mart! Don't you think I could take the part? , lVlart looked at her. What she saw was a girl with a freckled face, red cheeks, twinkling blue eyes, and a mass of wavy auburn hair piled carelessly on the top of her head. To imagine Jo taking Dalels part was impossible. , Don't be a fool, Jo! Please tell me what to do. I am director, you know, and the suc- cess of the whole affair is on my shoulders. ' Really, Mart, old dear, I don't know what to tell you, since my suggestions are usually met with a kindly smile and are then forgotten. After dinner that night Mart tried diligently to study, while Jo sat at the dressing table, peering anxiously into the glass. Jo, did Dale say anything about going hiking with the girls next Saturday? Sixty-live, sixty-six, sixty-seven-Oh, heck! It's no use! I always lose track right in the midst. lVlart, tell me honestly! Do you think I have as many freckles as usual? ' I The same old question! Can't you see for yourself, Miss Barry, or can't you believe your own eyes? But tell me, is Dale going? I ' She told me she was, but that doesn't mean anything, for she will probably change her mind. Whereupon Jo proceeded to take clown her hair and do an Egyptian dance. Suddenly she stopped. Oh, Mart, what shall I do? I have that awful math lesson tomorrow, and I had forgotten all about it.U She pulled her book from the bottom of a large pile, and sat cross-legged under the light. At one o'clock she was still sitting there, running her fingers through her hair, and biting the end of her eraser. Mart, who was in bed and asleep, was awakened at one-thirty by something pouncing upon her, and exclaiming with glee, that everyone of the awful math problems was correctly worked out on paper. What's the idea, waking me at this time? Of course, I'm glad you got your math, but couldn't you wait till morning to tell me? Sorry, old dear! and with a gentle shove, Jo pushed her sleepy roommate back on her pillow. 43 Top-Knbi It was Saturday night, and everyone was talking about the hiking party. Dale had been brought back in an automobile, for she had sprained her ankle while walking in the woods. She came to dinner on crutches. The girls, of course, began to ask questions, but her answers were not at all gracious, and she sat at the table with a sulky look on her face, refusing to eat a bite. It was jo who helped her get her crutches, and saw that she got the most comfortable chair in the room. And then Mart came up. ' lsn't it awful, Dale? What shall we do to get someone to take your place? There are only six days until we have to give the play, and who could work up that long part in such a short time? I am terribly sorry about your ankle. Does it hurt much? Mart Darley, I think you are horrid to keep reminding me of my part! You know it has al- ways been my ambition to be the leading character in a play, and now-smash! go all my dreams! No! l don't know anyone who could take my part at such a late hour, and so kindly clon't mention it again! Tut, tut, children. Stop quarreling! lVlust I spank you both? came from Jo, and soon every- one was convulsed by her anecdotes and clever mimicry. Suddenly someone had an idea. Since Jo could mimic some people so well, why couldn't she take Dale's part? Could she? Dale had black hair, dark eyes, and full red lips, while ,Io was quite the opposite type. They decided to speak to Nlart about it, before saying anything to Jo. As they were separating to go to their room s, a group of the girls stopped lVlart, and explained the plan to her. Without even considering it Mart said: For Pete's sake, no! Are you girls crazy? Why, Jo could no more take that part than a fish could fly! I admit that she is awfully clever, but she's not clever in that way, my clears, so run off to bed. Thanks loads for your suggestion, just the same. Feeling very much amused at the idea of Jo in Dale's part, Mart smilingly made ready for bed. Jo started to undress, but when her hair was pulled straight back and most of her clothes we1'e off, she could not resist the impulse to dance. She started to do her Egyptian dance, and gradually worked into the dance Dale did in her characterization of the slave girl. She glided from one side to the other, her slim body moving with the grace and ease of a bending reed, combined with the stealth of a snake. Quite oblivious of her surroundings, she was unaware of the fact that lVlart was watching with eyes and mouth open. Unconsciously she was doing the exact steps of Dale's dance, but was putting into it all her enthusiasm and peculiar grace. Gradually she neared the end and then seemed to come out of her dream. Putting her hands on her hips and tilting her head saucily to one side, she exclaimed: Why the blank stare, Mart? Anything wrong with me? and she looked down to see what there was. By that time Mart rushed over and snatching her hands, tore around in a circle. Jo! Of all the surprises, .this is the best. You are wonderful, simply great, and a thousand times better than Dale ever thought of being. Why! do you know, you must start to learn your part right this minute. I didn't think you were at all adapted to that part, but I see now that I was all wrong. During this explosion, Jo stood with a stupilied expression on her face and finally sank down to the floor and started to laugh. Really, Mart, what is wrong with you? I,-in Dale's part? I couldn't do it in a century. Oh, couldn't you? Well you just opened my eyes, so get to work on this, and Mart thrust a big manuscript into her hands. But, Mart- r Don't say oneqword to me, but just start in Jo, for you have a lot of work ahead of you. The Occideni was given and was proclaimed a great success by all. Josephine Barry was the name on everyone's lips, and those who before had merely known' her as a laughing, happy-go-lucky junior, were eager to know this new side of her, which had been so clearly brought out by her part in the play. After working day and night, Jo had learned her part perfectly, and it seemed to have been written for her alone. She had brought new life and enthusiasm into the play, which had be- gun to grow dull and uninteresting, and had shown each girl how to act, without seeming to do so. Be- cause of her having great executive ability and being just a good sport, Jo was given the honor of being named for the future senior president. The last cheer, heard on the campus after the election, was: l'lere's to Josephine Barry, long may she live and thrive. M. K. 44 Top-Knot Htimertnks g C. S.

We sometimes have the selfish idea that we may do or say what we please, and it will influence no one. This thought, however, is entirely wrong, for we never speak or act without being .observed by someone, who may take the word or deed to heart. We influence others, and help to mould their characters and their destinies more than we can ever realize. Everyone from the highest to the lowest has the power of influencing in some way or other. We have not, therefore, a choice as to whether or not we shall exert an influence. The only point we can settle is whether our influence shall be for good or for evil. We must also take into consideration the fact that our influence is far-reaching, and that it never dies. It is like a small stone that is started down a mountain side. It rolls on from one group of people to another, from one generation to another, gathering strength and speed as it goes, and bringing sorrow or happiness as it rolls. The thought, or word, or deed of a man never dies! Some day he will find their harvestsg it may be tomorrow, it may be in the distant future. Some day there will be a reckoningg it may be a pleasant one, or it may not, according to his choice. An author, whose name I have forgotten, beautifully expressed the power of influence in these words: This learned I from the shadow of a tree That to and fro did sway upon the wallg Our shadow-selves-our influence-may fall Where we can never be. The truth of these lines was impressed upon-my mind by a short anecdote, which It heard some years ago. A mission school had been established in the mountain district of Tennessee. The students were charged a purely nominal sum, which was used to provide better equipment for the school. Une day two girls came to the door, asking to be admitted as students, They had walked thirty miles to reach the school, and had arrived with only a bundle of clothing and no money to pay their fees. No one had the heart to turn away such ambitiong so the girls were taken in. The fol- lowing vacation one of the teachers mentioned the incident to a wealthy lady, who became very much interested, and finally sent the school ten thousand dollars to endow scholarships. So this woman was touched by the lofty ambition of these two mountain girls whom she had never seen, while they were totally unaware that they had influenced a woman who lived hundreds of miles away. So we should all try to exert an influence for the better among our associates, that they in turn may influence their friends, and so on throughout the world. We should all be aware of the fact that, whether we wish it or not, our influence is world-wide for good or for evil. Vlfhich shall it be? - E. P. R. lf' QSZWF bqfalltill B 5 ' Wi, 5 gl N MZ!

A ,g m icqamm 47 Top-Knot Banning The first dancing teacher, Mrs. McClure's sister, came to the Columbus School for Girls in l908. The following year Miss Simonds, from Newark, Ohio, spent one afternoon a week teaching a comparatively new type of dancing. The same year, some of the mothers of students became inter- ested and formed another class for themselves. From this time on, enthusiasm grew, and now danc- ing has as large an enrollment as any other subject in the School. The object of this study is not as many suppose, to prepare pupils for the stage, but to create a sense of art, of grace, and of rhythm. Every class, from the first form to the senior, has some ex- hibition to show what has been accomplished during the year. Forms from one to seven have re- citals, which the parents and the friends of the pupils attend, while the classes in the Upper School present a play out-of-doors. For a number of years plays with speaking parts were given, but owing to the difficulty in making people hear, a pantomime was given three years ago, Orpheus and Eury- dice g the play given proved such a success that it was followed by Joan d'Arc last year. This year the ulphigeniau is to be even more carefully worked out than the one of last year, which was almost faultless. A The play this year has the following cast: Il-Wfiigdnfd ........-------.-----------......--.----..--.----.--.----......------..,. .........

She and her mother, Clytemnestra, have made their Way to Aulis where he father is waiting. Upon her arrival she learns that Achilles has been faithless, and, when he appears, she refuses to have anything to db with him. Finally she believes the truth of his words, and then discovers that her father means to offer her as sacrifice to the enraged goddess, Diana. After much lamentation, the goddess is ap- peased and Achilles and lphigenia have a joyful wedding procession. a M. K. J. The 5HiIarp Eluthan jllilzmnrial library The Mary Jordan Memorial Library is one of the new features of the School this year which has aroused among younger and older pupils the greatest interest and enthusiasm. It was established as a fitting memorial for Miss Mary Richmond Jordan, who after a 'long illness, died in May, l92l. From the very early days of the School, Miss Jordan had been a loyal and enthusiastic teacher in the lower forms, and reading was the subject that she most delighted to teach. Witli the resolution of sym- pathy sent by the teachers to Miss Jordan's family, went a second resolution announcing the establish- ment of the library. The books for the Memorial Library began to come in within two days of the announcement that the library had been foundedg and they have continued to come in an never ending stream, until now, at the end of ten months, the library numbers several hundred volumes. They have come from the present pupils of the School, from the parents of present or past pupils, from old pupils of Miss Jor- dan's, who welcome the opportunity to express in this way their loving, regard for their former teacher, and from those friends who are always ready to help the School ,in whatever activity it undertakes. There have been many money contributions, from which delightful children's books have been bought. Miss Helen Osborn fclass of 19065 who made the School bookplate, contributed a charming Memo- rial bookplate, which will appear in every volume, inscribed with the name of the donor. janevand Henriette Pirrung have given two bookcases. and a beautiful copper plate in memory of Miss jordan. The books are in charge of Mrs. Lovell. At present they are placed in the childrenis room, where they will remain until the School can establish a real library for children of the lower forms. As the years of the School increase, and others of its loved teachers and pupils travel to the undiscovered country, we hope that Ways may be found to cherish their memories within the walls of their old School, as Miss Jordan'S memory is now cherished in the Mary Jordan Nlemorial Library of-'the Columbus School for Girls. 48' Top-Knot Q Bit uf Zahn The late afternoon sun cast long, lazy, slanting beams of light through the many-paned windows of the little curio shop. Already the corners of the dusty place were in deep shadow. The little old man behind the counter leisurely removed his steel-rimmed spectacles and as leisurely polished them with a faded red handkerchiefg then, putting them on, well toward the end of his nose, he tipped back in his chair, placed his fingertips together, and soon lost himself in deep meditation. Business was not rushing in the shop of Jonah Potter, Dealer in Antiques and Curiosng indeed, there were but two customers in the store now, two girls, and it was doubtful whether they would buy anything, as they had been browsing around for some time and seemed not to have found anything yet which they wanted. It was the policy of the wise Mr. Potter to let prospective buyers examine his wares with no explanations or comments from him, and so he paid little attention to the two girls, who were laugh- ing and talking together. At last one of the girls turned to him. The old shopkeeper placed his feet on .the Hoor, pushed his spectacles up to the bridge of his nose, and waited expectantly. Well, lVlr. Potter, she said, we havenit found-Oh Janels' she broke off suddenly, come look at this darling pendantln Jane and the old shopkeeper both looked down quickly at the object on the counter. It was a tiny bit of jade about the size of a thimble, carved into the semblance of a human head. The fea- tures were those of a wizened old man, and the expression was of mingled gravity and impish cunning, -not a pleasant expression, but fascinating, to say the least. At that very moment, a lingering ray of the sun fell on the little trinket, and for a second, the suggestion of a sneer played about the mouth and eyes of the tiny visage, then vanished. The girl was enthusiastic. Jane, she exclaimed to her companion, That's the very thing I shall buy with my birthday money. I donit know when l've wanted anything so badly! Jane examined the pendant critically. lt is unusual lookingf, she agreed, but honestly, lVlarian, I should hate to sleep in the same room with that awful face at night! I suppose, she added, turning to the shopkeeper, that it's a good luck charm? lVlr. Potter shook his head and cleared his throat importantly. No, sir, he said, that there gewgaw brings bad luck and not good. Why, that charm's caused more'n one calamity afore I came by it, I can tell ye that! Marian laughed. That only makes me want it all the more. she said. How much is it, lVlr. Potter? It was with grave warnings that lVlr. Potter handed over the pendant. Come, Jane, we'll have to hurry. Goodbye, lVlr. Potterli' The two girls ran out of the lit- tle shop and climbed into a low roadster at the curb. lVlr. Potter, shaking his head doubtfully, watched them until the little car disappeared in the crowded traffic. l-le then resumed his former position behind the counterg his spectacles slipped down on his nose, and he dozed comfortably. Meanwhile Nlarian, having dropped Jane at her home, slowed up and stopped in front of her own home. She hurried along the walk, and started to run up the steps to the porch, when sud- denly she tripped and fell. O-oh! she groaned, my anklel- l've killed it! Limping painfully, she managed to drag herself to the house, where she sank down,upon the nearest chair. Late that night Marian suddenly sat upright in bed. Her sprained ankle throbbed so with pain, that she could not lie still, to say nothing of sleep. mlqhat wretched bit of jadef, she said to herself, remembering the shopkeeper's words. TI1at's causing me this misery. 49 Top-Knot .She put out her hand to the table at the side of her bed, Where she had thrown the little trinket the night before. She ran her hand across the surface of the table, and felt something round and cold. That was what she was hunting. Picking it up, she wound around it a long black ribbon on which it was hung, and threw it as far as she could through the open window. Now that thing can't cause me any more trouble, she thought, as her ankle twitched with a fresh stab of pam. . The jade pendant fell lightly on the soft grass. The ribbon had unwound itself in its flight, and the tiny face of the old man lay upturned in the light of the moon. If one had looked closely, gnc might have discovered on the tiny features the same sneer that had appeared there for a moment the ay before. The next afternoon a half-grown collie was romping joyously over the lawn. His greatest amusements were chasing his tail and barking ferociously at his shadow, but even these delightful pastimes at length began to pall, for the day was very warm, and his puppyship quite fat. As he sprawled, then, at full length on the grass, he felt something small and hard against his ribs. It irri- tated himg moreover, it aroused his curiosityg so, scrambling to his feet, he sniffed the ground on which he had been lying. Ah! l-le found the object of irritation, and he laughed a wicked puppy laugh as he planned the discomfort he would give to his new-found plaything. Taking a generous length of ribbon in his mouth, he shook the thing with all his might. Then laying it down again, he placed one big clumsy paw awkwardly upon it and proceeded to chew up the ribbon. Triad called a woman's voice authoritatively, come here and bring me what you havelu At the mention of his name, the dog pricked up his ears and listenedg then, with a gentle sigh he picked up the thing by its torn ribbon and trotted obediently to his mistress, who was sitting on the shady veranda of the house next door. Dropping the thing at her feet, he looked up at her to receive her thanks. Good dog, she said, brieHy. Then, What an odd pendant! And wonderfully carved! Trix, where did you find this? She went into the house to procure another ribbon for it. Then she slipped it over her head and regarded the effect in a mirror. It certainly was a pleasing note of color on her dark dress. Miss Stedway, you'se wanted on the phone! It was the maid speaking. Mrs. Stedway went to the telephone. Yes-Oh, I am so sorry-of course not-I hope you will-Goodbye! Mrs. Stedway was quite put out. Because of a violent headache, a friend of hers was fo1'ced to cancel an engagement with her for that afternoon. Mrs. Stedway fingered the jade pendant nervously. The telephone rang again. ' Yes, dear!-No!-and you leave at five!-Oh, dear!-Goodbye. That was Mr. Sted- man. l-le was leaving at five o'clock for New York. Another engagement, for the evening, can- celed. Mrs. Stedway sighed, and holding the little jade ornament, looked closely at the tiny face. What an expression! She had not noticed it before. She smiled ruefully. Perhaps that had brought her bad luck. She rang for the maid. A young colored girl entered. Martha, said her mistress, would you like to have this? She held out the jade pendant. Martha, to whom anything Wearable of a bright color was desirable, gasped a delighted, l..awsy yas, mam, yas. Thank you, mam, and with her gift tightly clasped in one chocolate-colored hand, retreated to the kitchen, where she was entertaining her beau, who rejoiced in the name of Marcus Aurelius Jones. 'fMahkus, she said, njes' look what Mis Stedway ga' me. I'se jes' speculatin' whethah mebbe it means I'se goin' have some good luck soon, she hinted delicately. I-luh? was the enigmatical reply of the unperturbed Marcus. l..essee. He took the little object in his hand and examined it carefully. That ain't no good luck chawm! No, boy! he said, shaking his head ominously. E.f Ah was you, Ah'd throw it away before it brung me any had luck! 50 Top-Knot Well, Mistah Jones, retorted Martha airily, they's others as ain't of your opinion! Oh, Mahkus, her tone of voice changing suddenly, does you know there is goin' to be a ice cream socia- ble at the Baptist Church Thu'sday night? Mr. Jones shifted his position ever so slightly. Uh-huh. Ah ain't made no plans yet foh Thu'sday evenin', pursued the dauntless Martha. lVlr. Jones ignored her latest remark and reached for his hat. Well, Miss Robison, Ah'd better be leavin', he said formally. Jes as you desiah, Mistali Jones, replied Miss Robison icily. ' ' Mr. Jones showed faint surprise at the ladyls sudden change of manner. With no further adieus he took his leave, and ambled slowly towards the back gate. When he had closed the kitchen door, lVIartha stamped her foot in a rage. I-luh! S'if Ah'd think of goin' anywheres with that good-foh-nothin' culled man! Huh! l le's probly takin' that wuthless Vi'let Graham! Suddenly her eyes grew big. She. looked down at the little green pendant. Her mind was made up. She opened the door, and with deadly aim threw the pendant at the departing Mr. Jones. The missile just grazed his left ear, and he uttered a startled Owl Then, recovered, he picked up the ornament, and contrary to his declaration of a few minutes before, dropped it into his coat pocket. Now Mr. Jones' coat had seen hard service, so it was not surprising that a small hole was to be found in his pocket. Into this hole the little pendant wedged itself and gradually slipped through. At last it fell out upon 'the sidewalk with a little thud, while Mr. Jones, unaware of his loss, strolled serenely on. It was by this time growing late in the afternoon, and the sun streamed through the windows of lV!1'. Jonah Potter's little shop in long slanting rays. Mr. Potter walked to the window and gazed absent-mincledly at the people passing. Suddenly his attention was attracted to a bit of green on the sidewalk. What was it? I-le pushed his spectacles upon his nose and looked more closely. Then he went out and picked up the object. - I-lumphln he commented briefly, as he brought it in and laid it on the counter. Wl1o'd 'a thunk it? ' The little jade pendant lay quietly in its former resting place. The sunlight shown again on the little face, where, once more, a little malicious sneer appeared for a moment to vanish as quickly. l-lumph'l ejaculated Mr. Potter once more, regarding it gravely. Then he settled himself in his chair behind the counter, placed his fingertips together, allowed his spectacles to travel clown his nr-se, and slipped into a comfortable doze. lVI.H. wr Q me i ric a 51 Top-Knot ZBHJ Eau QEt1zr Hear Katharine mention Hardy?

At the ap- pointed hour, the sides of the field were fairly banked with rooters and mascots. For I5 minutes they sat and waited and sat-and-waited-but no faculty team appeared. The rooters were just begin- ning to think it was all a big bluff, when the door of Bryden Hall creaked slowly open and what to their wondering eyes should appear but-the faculty team in person. All properly capped and gowned, bearing manuscripts in their hands, they marched in double file, led by Miss Hicks, to the center of the court. There they column-righted and advanced to the sidelines where -they left their caps, gowns and manuscripts. Then they returned to the center of the held, where they formed a circle and sang a little song ending in a cheer, to the senior team. The costumes of the faculty team were the crowning features of the occasion. Each one on the team wore her hair down her back, with a band of more or less brilliant coloring around her fore- head. Miss Carey favored pink, which did not match her complexion as well as it might have, while Miss Timberman wore a bright purple hair ribbon upon her nut-brown tresses. Miss Thomas sported a gay pair of bloomers with red and white stripes and a brilliant pink headband to match. The stockings of the team were gaudy and varied, ranging from purple to white and plaid combined. V The line-up was as follows: Faculty Seniors Forwards ............

Miss Thomson At five minutes to four the game began and it lasted until twenty minutes to five. During the hrst quarter the playing was a little wild and the players quite reckless, due no doubt, to the novelty and excitement of the occasion. During the second quarter they got down to business, and by the third, the ball was travelling so fast that it fairly made you dizzy to watch it. In the last quarter the faculty became suddenly impressed with the fact that they were going to have to get busy, but they hit upon the fact a little late. ,There was some doubt about the final score, but 32 to 20 in favor of the seniors has been generally accepted. At the end of the third quarter the mascots became a bit unruly, and had to be settled by Miss Simonds, the official faculty cheer leader. Timberman's Airdale pup, who was rooting for the fac- ulty, charged another Airdale about twice his size, that was cheering on the senior side. There were no casualties, however, and the game proceeded. 1 V i Miss Cavers became a trifle warm at the end of the second quarter and so was relieved by Miss Thomson. She came in again, however, in the last quarter, and distinguished herself by doing a nose dive backwards and upsetting Anne Willard in the act.'. The seniors put up a very good game, but had to work rather hard at the beginning. Peg Schueller was kept on the jump,.guarding Miss Carey, but she done noble. Jean Elliott also guarded very well, although both she and Peg had difficulty in sticking with the faculty forwards. Miss Carey always managed quite successfully to be where Peg wasn't, much to the disgruntlement of the latter. Mary Kathryn johnson and Ann Willa1'd, the senior forwards, had splendid team Work, and succeeded in losing their guards quite well. Miss' Cavers rushed about at a great rate, but seemed to find the heat rather oppressive. Miss Hicks was very good as jumping center, but found her match in Jean Wyer. Marian Matt left Miss Thomas completely, although the latter played a very credit- able game. Miss Peters played wonderfully well as guard, and broke up a number of the senior passes. It was rather difficult to judge Miss Thomson's playing, as she was in for only one quarter, but she was good, for the little time she did play. The game culminated in cheers by each team for the other, and a general rush by both for the plate of lemons. 59 Top-Knot 011132 Eiuniur Jfresbman Zlliuurnament The Junior-Freshman Preliminaries took place on October eighteenth at three-thirty o'clock. The freshman team came on the field in single file with the captain in the lead, carrying the class banner. When they reached the center of the court, they formed a circle, and gave an ear-splitting yell for the juniors, and another equally loud for themselves Last, but not least, as it were, the junior team marched on the field also in single file. Each girl wore on her head a large paper bag, with holes cut out for the eyes and mouth. As they advanced to the center of the court, the juniors yelled for each girl, and, as her name was called, each one removed her paper sack. A song to the freshmen followed, and immediately the game began, with this line-up: l juniors Freshmen Guards ......... ........... M orehouse and Price Guards ....,.. .........

At the end of the first half the score stood eighteen to six in favor of the juniors. Atche- son made ten points to six for Jones, and Crocker scored four baskets to Firestone's two. Very few fouls were called. Crocker double-bounced once, giving the juniors a free throw, which, by the way. was missed. Parker overguarded once, and that basket was also missed. The freshmen put up a hard fight, but the teams were very uneveniy matched. Nlorehouse played a good game to the finish, and Price, although she had height to her advantage, was not so, quick as her opponent. Parker and Cummins pulled together fairly well, but their passes were a little uncertain. Atcheson and Jones covered themselves with glory, as usual, in throwing baskets. Colgan and Thomas played hard to prevent the juniors from scoring, but they had size and speed against them. Freeman was fine as jumping center, although a little short for Parker. Hubbell played a very swift game despite her lack of size. Firestone seemed a little rattled during the entire game, and, consequently, made sev- eral wild shots, but her team work was great. The game ended with the final score in favor of .the juniors. Vvssfff QMQTKQMW' Wi Eff' mai' ' A , 'M a t 'Z' 1. ' 1 V '-'Tr 15134, '15 ' '-4 - 5? 71' E, fs. ':'l .

Each girl on the sophomore team wore a little purple and gold skull cap, and their mascot, a collie, was decorated with ribbons of the same color. Just before the game, the collie was led around the field by the team, each girl holding a ribbon, tied to the dog's collar. The seniors marched onto the field a little late, but none the less glorious, led by their cheer leader carrying the green and white class banner. Each girl of the team flourished a hockey stick, covered with green and white paper. They advanced in single file to the center of the court, where they formed an arch with their sticks. The cheer leader marched under, followed by the captain, and a rousing yell was given for the sophomores by the entire team.

At the end of the first half the score stood 23 to I3 in favor of the seniors. With the ex- ception of th1'ee or four line fouls, very few were made. There were several for overguarding, but out of four free throws given, only one was made. Tracy and Sackett both put up a very good fight, but Sackett was not up to her usual record on baskets. The seniors took advantage of Cumble's height, or rather, her lack of it, and consequently she seldom got the ball. But when she did succeed in getting it, she made up for lost time. The sophomore team work was good and they made a stiff fight, but the seniors had the advantage from the Hrst. Matt put up one of the best games of the season, and succeeded wonderfully in being al- ways where the other team thought she wasn't. Johnson and Willard worked signals with the centers, and in this way got in a number of good passes. The game ended with the score 38 to 23 in favor of the seniors, and with a final cheer for each team from the other it was all over. 6l Tap-Knot Ulibe Senior Eiunior Tournament The finals were played on October the twenty-first at two-thirty o'clock.

The seniors just played the juniors off their feet during the whole game, and in the second half they were so far ahead that they didn't work at all. X Wyer' had an advantage of several inches over Parker, and so nearly always topped the ball. Cooke's passes were a little weak and uncertain at the beginning of the game, and easily intercepted. but she improved as the game went on. Cummins played well, but the junior center team work couldnit compare with the seniors'. Price and Morehouse worked hard, but weren't able to interfere very seriously with the senior passes from Willard to Johnson. The junior team was greatly handi- capped by the fact that their captain and forward was unable to play. She was replaced by Ruth- erford, who played much better than expected by those who knew of her lack of practice. Jones played hard, but her passes were weak and easily blocked by the senior guards. Both teams played wildly towards the end of the game, and the ball was fumbled a great deal. The final score was 32 to IZ in favor of the senio1's, bringing them out victorious at the end of the tournament. ' 62 Top-Knot a Q jltlnhzrn lah in Qtaesatfs illiime Teddy had been delving into Latin pretty seriously for the past two weeks. Mid-terms were just around the corner, and one condition or failure in Latin meant,-oh well, it meant a whole lot, especially to Ted's father. As I have said, Ted had been studying hard on Latin, and one night he went to sleep over his Caesar. As he slept, he dreamt that he was a twentieth century lad in Caesar's time. I-Iere is the dream as it was told to me: - Ted awokeg he felt strange 3 he rubbed his eyes and looked down at his feet. .Instead of the scuffed pair of Douglas shoes, he found dainty sandals. His eyes wandered upg he beheld himself in a knee-length frock bound at the waist by a loosely tied girdle, his red hair, recently cropped close gracefully flowing over his shoulders. Then his gaze turned to an inspection of his surroundings. In: stead of the much-used copy of Caesar and the battered oak desk with its reading lamp, he found a stone table on which were a candle and a scroll of papyrus. I-Ile discovered to his horror that he was no longer lolling', in the morris chair, but instead, he was reclining on a soft stone couch. He sprang up and went to the door. just then, there entered a young man dressed like Ted. l-le came forward and said, Solve omnes! Adjectives, adverbs, ablatives, absolutes and otherwise, partici- ples and infinitives, all trooped, a dismal array, through Teddy's mind. I-le finally grasped the fact that he was being greeted, and so he promptly said or tried to say in his best Latin Hello, Kid! After that, things progressed more rapidly. The young man informed Ted that he was the son of one of Caeser's generals, that he himself was going on the next campaign, and that he hoped Ted would go with him. Then he explained that his father had found Ted in his house, and noting a strik- ing resemblance to his own son, he had dressed his find in Roman garb so that he might feel more comfortable and inclined to stay in Rome. ' Gosh! groaned Ted, be comfortable,-I feel like a chorus girl! Come, get over your grouch interpolated the youth, whose 'name was Cnaius. Let's go to the Forum and hear Cicero speak! So they ,set forth. Soon they encountered a mob of people, and upon asking what the disturbance was, Ted learned that Caesar was to pass. Then the great personage drew near, and as he looked out from his chariot over the crowd, he recognized Teddy's face as that of a stranger. I-Ie ordered the charioteers to stop, and calledforth: Red, come here! It occurred to Ted that he was being ad- dressed, so he stepped up to the chariot. Get in, ordered the emperor. Ted got in. Well, how do you like us? Us? stammered Ted. Oh! you mean yourself and Rome? Wliy, you're a pretty good sort, except for your Commentaries. My Commentaries! Great heaven, what do you know about them? I haven't finished -them yet. In fact, I've just completed my campaign in Gaul. Ted was about to protest and argue, but fortunately he realized that the time was about 50 B. C. instead of l922 A. D.- N ow, tell me, what do you think of Rome? Why, Caesar, you haven't any telephones or trolleys or automobilesg you haven't even one radio set in the town. By the way, got such a thing as a theater or movie 'round here? My Boy, broke in Caesar, where did you get such queer ideas? Where are you from? Columbus, Ohio. ' V A Nice place? Bird! Thought so, sounds likeadove's nest. Well, glad to have seen you. See you again at the theater tonight. Good show on now! 63 Top-Knot Ted returned to his friend and they went on to the forum. In a short time Cicero mounted the platform. He took a hasty glance over the audience, looked down in front to see whether all the press reporters were there, and then after clearing his throat he began: Rams publicam, querilis, vilamque omnium vesirum- and so he ambled on and on. After he Hnished, Cnaius said, Wa11t to meet him? So off they went to talk with Cicero. When he had been introduced, Ted said, Wl1y do you 'rant' on about Catiline. lsn't he a good sport? Rummy chap! I'm not saying anything against him, or anything like that, but he's the tough- est, meanest fellow along the Appian way. Like my speech? Yea, but I've read it before. V Read it before! Why that's the first time I ever gave itf' Ted was again on the point of arguing. but he thought in time and refrained. By the way, old top, how do youpronounce your name? At East, we say Sisero, at C. S. C-. they say'Kilfero, and at North it's Cliiclgcro. Wliich is it? He smilingly replied: Just pronounce it Cicero. Then there drew near a young man with a rather vacant look. Lo Virgef' shouted Cicero, how are the stables this morning? Upon inquiring, Ted learned that this youth was Virgil, the poet, then a stable boy. l've got to read your Acncid' next year, offered Ted as a way of getting acquainted. Think you'll like it? Don't know: only person I ever -heard say he really liked it,4was the 'prof' at home. l-le's forever muttering 'Pergc moclo' and 'haecolim iibi mcmcnisse iuvebaif Sure, I like those two phrases myself, said Virgil. Borrowed 'em from an old philosopher about Rome. Well, I'm going down to see Pluto to get some material for my story. l want to see Creusa, Hestor's shade, Polydorus, and all that tribe. Would you like to go along? Sure 'nough ! Then meet me at the ninth hour tomorrow, and I'1l take you down. Pluto will be mighty glad to make your acquaintance. So long! See you tomorrow! - The boys' next move was towards home, where they partook of a light meal and again set forth, this time to visit the theater. Ted found to his disgust that the chorus was' made up of old men wear- ing masks, and that the orchestra consisted of a flute, very much lout of tune, and a lyre. Why clon't you can that orchestra and get a piano-playbr and a saxaphone?', asked Ted. What are they? So Ted proceeded to explain. He was constantly being interrupted by a man behind him who kept repeating That's a trochee, there's a spondeef' Cnaius, questioned Ted, are trochees and spondees clothiers or are they some of the aristoc- racy here? Upon being told that that was the meter in which the play was written, Ted felt very much ashamed of his ignorance and became silent. Suddenly, Ted heard a crash, and thinking that the theater had fallen, he put his fingers to his ears and shut his eyes. When he opened them again, he saw once more the well-thumbed copy of Caesar, the desk, and the many other things which made his room familiar. .Then he took his fin- gers from his ears and realized that it was the alarm that had made so much noise. -4 1. E. 64 Top-Knot My amhirmng , My ambitions are of all sorts. None of them last long, but all of them return from time to time. They are flighty little thing, and I usually have the utmost difficulty in remembering on which I have set my heart for the moment. Not very long ago, my parents definitely settled my future. I was to be a doctor. For a few days the idea pleased me. I thought of story-book doctors, kindly, quiet, beautiful characters. Then one evening I became extremely ill, and we had to call our family doctor at one o'clock in the morn- ing. Suddenly it occurred to me that, since I love my bed, especially at midnight, I should not like to make myself liable to disturbance at that hour. In an instant all my dreams of self-sacrifice, pa- tience, and beauty of character, if that pleasing quality had to be won in that way, fell to earth with a crash. I would not be a doctor. Obligingly my family chose another profession for me. If I would not be a doctor, I should be a lawyer. This met no favor in my eyes, for someone had just told me that I resembled Katherine lVlacDonald, and my imagination was afire. I could actg I was sure of it. All I had to do was to go to Hollywood, and-presto!-the thing was done. The only difficulty was that I lacked money for carfareg so I began to save. Then one day I looked hard at my face in a mirror. That ended my dreams of obtaining fame and fortune through the movies. For three or four days I inclined more or less toward the law, but I was willing to turn from that to anything more promising. Consequently, when I attended an illustrated lecture on forestry, in which the joys of life in the open were greatly stressed, I responded to the call of the wild, and begged to be allowed to search for cutworms at the roots of our tomato plants, to which, without ques- tion, I did more damage than one hundred of the insects. My next desire was to be the advertising manager of Gimbells. This fell in with the plans of my parentsg so I was greatly encouraged. This is still one of my lasting ambitions. Another is to own, or at least to manage, a large store. ' A short time later I began taking dancing lessons, and became very much stage-struck. This condition lasted longer than almost any other, but was finally superseded by the wish to become a detective. Between discouragement at home and other interests outside, this poor little ambition was soon crushed. - ' Although all these ambitions passed so quickly, there are two which have never given way to any others. One of these wishes is to speak fluently a large number of languages. The other is to be a writer. The first is of comparatively recent origin, but the second has been my greatest desire ever since I learned to write. Every little while I feel the urge to give to the world a great masterpiece. This result is always extremely discouraging. In spite of the constant change that my other ambitions have undergone, I feel certain that these two will survive, and that sometime I shall realize both. At any rate, whatever my faults, no one can accuse me of a lack of ambition. V. C. jtltlernuries Miss I-ley had charge of the luncheon counter And she always had a crowd around her. She took in tickets, and looked at our plates To see that we didn't have too many cakes. Now don't forget Ada, our very kind friend, Upon whom we all could always depend. , She always had something that we could buy F rom chocolate bars, to buns or pie. 65 Top -Knot Glam Quiz iimagtmz?
