They began on a night in October In the rear garden lighted by searchlights. The girls were all asked to bring with them Bricks for a purpose mysterious. They drew for their teams and then parted To opposite sides of the garden. There followed snake dances and singing, A Basket Ball game and some relays. Then came a suitable climax To all of that night's entertainment: A supper of wienies and doughnuts, And the bricks now came into service As hearth stones for marshmallow toasting. Then everyone turned her steps homeward. There followed six months of close contest, But we haven't the room for the details. The Reds all blacked shoes to earn money. The Golds with Miss Holland's assistance, Gave a play and charged only a quarterg But the contest waxed hottest and longest At the time of the monthly report cards. The generous Athletic Committee Gave to the team that could win it A cup of most excellent merit, To the handle of which a gold bow Or a red, as often it happens, E81 ToP-KNo'r Columbus School for Girls For the space of one month is connected To show us which team's been successful In scholarship, sports, and behavior. And we might just carelessly mention That a gold bow is now on the handle. But this state of affairs is not lasting, The final decision comes later, And now we can only conjecture. So here ends the story authentic Of the Red and Gold Teams and their doings From October to April inclusive. JULIA W. NEWTON SARAH M. ANDERSON The Track Meet October 28, 1922 S nothing de1'inite in the athletic line had been decided upon for the Red and Gold Teams to do, a track meet was planned to start things off with more or less of a flourish. Through the kindness of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Jeffrey, parents of one of the girls in the school, their whole place with its beautiful grounds was given over to us. -They not only did this, but, in addition, they had hurdles put up for us, and a basket ball court marked out on? the front lawn, with goal posts. The weather was perfect, and the whole upper school, teachers and all, turned out to take part in, or to witness, the fun. Some of the events which, took place were high jump, human croquet, alphabet race, several kinds of relay races, and last, but far from least, a basket ball game, which was Won by the Red Team with a score of fourteen to nine. Several points were given to the winner of each event, and when the meet was all over, both teams stood even. Everyone remarkedl about the splendid spirit shown by all the girls, and about the pep and enthusiasm with which they entered into the various events. This was the first time that the whole upper school had ever come together for a meet of that kind, and it proved highly successful. E91 TOP-KNOT Columbus School for Girls The Halloween Party HE annual Hallowe'en Party, given by the Faculty to the older girls of the school, was a greater success than usual this year. The girls were asked to come in couples, dressed as sailor boys and girls. Two of the lower school rooms were cleared for dancing, which began the evening's program. As soon as all the guests had arrived, a contest between the Red Team and the Gold was announced. The captains of the teams chose girls to be their representatives. Then followed a group of questions concerning the romance of two lovers, Romeo and Juliet, the answers to which were the names of the various Shakespearean plays. How we all wished that we were better acquainted with them! Everyone was then invited to go to Bryden Hall to witness a play, the most important event of the evening. The play, which was entitled The Boar, was of the modern, Russian school of drama. Miss Holland as the hero was delightful, while Miss Christy, the heroine, was equally charming. Miss Groce proved herself a fine comedian, for she repeatedly brought gales of laughter from her audience. Upon returning to Parsons Place, the girls resumed their dancing. Later in the evening, dainty refreshments,. consisting of ice cream, cake, candy, and nuts, were served. There immediately followed the customary school songs which close each party. As the merits of a party may be judged by the enjoyment of those present, certainly the Hallowe'en Party of 1922 may be listed as a complete success.

As usual, the donning of this frock did not make us very cheerful. The remarks of our families to the effect that we looked sweet and girlish did not have the desired result. Soon we were entering the dressing room and exhibiting to and comparing with our friends how much and where our dresses were out- grown. In a little while we entered, the long dining hall with' our class. We were overcome with delight. We had forgotten it was like this, long, long tablesg Christmas greensg candle light. Before sitting down, we all sang Miss Gladden's lovely song of praise. We were very glad' to see that Miss Gladden was there for the dinner. It made things nicer. During the first course, we spent our time in seeing that we, as well as our neighbors, were using the proper utensils. During the next course, Mrs. McClure gave a short talk about the three things for which C. S. G. stands-Comradeship, Scholarship, and Good Will. During the rest of the dinner these qualities were brought, so to speak, as offerings from the classes. Eleanor Thomas spoke for the sophomores on Comradeship, Mary Sackett for the juniors on Scholarship, and Betty Price for the seniors on Good Will. Miss Carolyn L. Scott of South High School gave a very interesting talk on the Christadora House in New York. Toasts, vehemently lead by Mr. Hoenig, were sung at intervals. By this time any crossness which we might have felt before, was entirely gone. A sort of thrill ran through one to look down the long tables and see the crisp white dresses, the sparkling faces, all softened in the gleam of the candle light. It was something we should not soon forget. The senior team, champions of the season, received their Basket Ball letters. Mrs. McClure then showed the loving cup presented by Miss Carey, Miss Cavers, Miss Dillon, and Miss Simonds. Great delight prevailed. Next we all enjoyed What Makes Ch.1 zLstma.s, Christmas, a play of Mrs. McClure's, very cleverly given by the eighth grade. After having worn ourselves out in the irresistible old-fashioned dances, we realized that we must go. We departed with many Merry Christmases ringing in our ears, and the feeling that for nothing in the world would we have missed the Christmas dinner. illl TOP-KNOT Co :L IEE' f'X X, X.Qx lumbus S chool for DMI!

MCCLURE MISS HOLLAND MISS HATHEWAY E121 TOP-KNOT Columbus School for Girls l i . I HE girls of the Columbus School for Girls have always been interested in dramatics, but until recently there has never been a permanent Dramatic Club. The Winsome Wig Dramatic Club was formed last year, and gives every indication of continuing for many more years. Were it not for The Rivals, by Richard Brinsley Sheridan, the Winsome Wig might never have been. The cast for The Rivals was selected by Mr. Samuel Arthur King of Bryn Mawr in the fall of 1921, but unfortunately since the girls did not have the time that year to produce the play as it should be given, it was postponed. In order that the cast should lose none of its enthusiasm, and in order to promote an active interest in dramatics, Mrs. McClure suggested that The Rivals cast should be the founders of a Dramatic Club. The Winsome Wig is the result. There are two methods of admission-by special recommendation for talent, and by try-outs. The try-outs this year were most successful, and eight girls were admitted by this method. Twenty is the limit for membership. l13l TOP-KNOT Columbus School for Girls The Rivals was given on November 18, 1922, in the auditorium of South High School. After a week of intensive training under Mr. King and our school coach, Miss Hatheway, the talent of every member of the cast was brought out to its best advantage, and an artistic production was the result. It was also a financial success, owing to the selling of the tickets by the Gold and Red Teams of the school. Another play is to be given by the club in the immediate future. The club hopes to give every year one' long play, on which a great deal of time and money will be spent, and a series of. short plays of a more amateur nature. The resignation in February of the president, Frances Wolverton, was a disappointment, but her successor, Elizabeth Rasor, has most capably filled the position. l all A f m ll E141 TOP-KN01' Columbus School for Girls The Girls' Music Club MARTHA SCHENCK - - President ELIZABETH Ro'rH ---- Vice President E Girls' Music Club was organized in the school year 1921-1922. Every girl .who studies music, whether piano or vocal, belongs to this club. The meetings are held during the second semester.. The first semester is spent in preparation for the second. The club meets regularly on Wednesday mornings for a discussion of all business, after which follows a short musical program. This program is decided upon by the Music Directors. Throughout the second semester, the advanced pupils prepare special programs to play before the upper school. The Music Club is in complete charge of its presiding ofiicers. They Say Maggie Bell was on time once. Patti Linn is a man-hater. Doris Olds never raves. Aleta got up at six one morning. Eleanor Haldeman can't dance. Miss Chase forgot to go around one night.

I i The Open Air Play, 192 3 For many years dancing has been one of the most important features at school. The -work of the year culminates in an out-of-door play. The first plays had speaking parts, the last three were adapted from operas and hadl the choruses sung, but this year they work is to be interpreted by dancing alone. The program will be somewhat different from any that has been pre- sented before. The first part consists of at play, The Enchanted Garden, arranged by Miss Simonds, and given by the pupils of the firsti six forms. The second part is to be a group of French dances given by, pupils of the upper forms. This will be the first time that we have ever presented dances with French technique. The scene is a fete in a French- garden, and the dances are the very dignified gavottes that might have been done by the gay ladies of Marie Antoinette's court. l16l TOP-KNOT Columbus School for Girls' The Pipes of Pan, written by Frederick Knight Logan, and given by the upper forms of the school, is to be the last part of the program. The story opens with a festival in honor of Diana, the moon goddess, in a forest youths and maidens have assembled in games and dances. Endymion, one of the youths, is in love with Phyllis, and pursues her? through the dance, only to be scorned. After the rest of the dancers have departed, Endymion makes ardent love to Phyllis, but she only flees into the forest. Endymion well knows the dangers there, and, as he is starting to follow her, Diana appears to test his love for Phyllis. By her charm she com- pletely wins him, and thereby proves his faithlessness. He faints, exhaust- ed by her spell, while satyrs pursue their wild orgies around him., He finally awakens to find himself surrounded by water nymphs, and in the lotus flower in their midst he sees the face of Phyllis, who, meanwhile, has been lost in a mountain stream. He tries to join her, but the spell of Diana is upon them. As the dance continues, the pipes of Pan are heard again, and Endymion swoons while the water nymphs fade from sight. Diana appears and sets upon him the spell of destiny, eternal sleep. Dancing has a greater value than that of the pleasure we have in it. It teaches us more keenly to appreciate the other arts which are all con- nected with dancing. Endymion .......... Phyllis ............ Pan ...,.........

THELMA L, HUGHES, 1923 I 18 J TOP KN01' Columbus School for Girls 'RS X ilfew I I Sophmore-Senior Tournament The sophomores scored the first basket and for a few minutes the seniors were a little nervous, but after Black- burn and Atcheson had made several goals in succession, they gained confidence. Both teams played hard, however, and, although the seniors had the better team, they had their hands full, particularly during the first half. The sophomore forwards played a very good game, but they stood little chance with the senior guards. Hubbell is one of the best side centers in the school as far as quickness and hanging on to the ball are concerned, but her smallness is a great handicap. The senior side center was so much the taller that she could intercept almost all of the overhead passes from the sophomore guards. The playing became a little one-sided during the second half, and so less inter- esting, and although the cheer leaders got busy and tried to encourage the losing team, the seniors were too far ahead. They won with the score eighteen to six. l19l TOP-KNOT Columbus School for Girls 1 Sophomore Basket Ball Smmons Position Price ........ ....... Cummins ......... .,..... S . Center.. K.

It was very cold, but over two hundred rooters were there to cheer their teams. Before the game started, the junior team marched in double file out of Bryden Hall and down the field to the west goal post. Each one of the girls wore a purple and gold skull cap, and several of the team had hair ribbons or head bands to match. Just then the whistle was blown for the game to begin. The members of the junior team took their places quickly, ready to start, but the freshmen team was nowhere to be seen. Finally, after a few minutes of anxious waiting on the part of the spectators, it appeared, girl by girl, and the game began. The line-up was as follows: l21l TOP-KNOT Columbus School for Girls Junior Basket Ball JUNioRs Position FRESHMEN DeHart lCaptainJ .............. Center ......,, ......,....... L .

In view of all this, they played a pretty good game. They put in several substitutes in the second quarter, but, after the first half, they failed to score. Despite the freezing cold weather, the attendance was nearly perfect. The final score was seventy-nine to eight in favor of the juniors. l22l TOP-KNOT Columbus School for Givtis Senior -Junior Tournament This tournament, which was played on the twenty-fourth of Novem- ber at half past three o'clock, was decidedly the best game our school court has ever seen. The' teams took their places without any of the usual stunts, and the game began on time, a novelty in itself. The cheering was incessant, and before the end of the first half, the rooters hadl left their chairs and were almost wild with excitement. The two teams were so perfectly matched, and the score was kept so nearly even, that until the final whistle. was blown, no one had an idea as to what the outcome would be. Finally the score stood twelve all. Just the minute before the end of the second half, one of the senior forwards threw a basket, making the score twelve to fourteen in favor of the seniors. E231 TOP-KNOT Columbus School for Girls The Open Lesson The Gymnasium Open Lesson, one of the chief events of the school year, was this spring a greater success than it has ever been before. The program took place at three o'clock on the afternoon of March twentieth in the gymnasium of the State School for the Blind. The order of events was as follows : I Wand Drill Academic Forms II Singing Game Form I III Game Forms II and III IV Drill Forms IV and V V Dumb Bell Drill Form VI VI Drill and Game Forms VII and VIII VII Indian Club Drill Academic Forms VIII Class Relay Race Academic Forms IX Marching Tactics Academic Forms X Mimetic Floor Drill Academic Forms The judges were: Miss Marguerite Kellerman The Girls' Athletic Club Miss Miss Miss Helen Krumm Ethel Scofield Dorothy Wright Pilgrim School Ohio State University Columbus Public Schools Every girl in the school from the first form up, took part in the exer- cises, and each was in regulation costume of white, with a tie of her class color. The four upper classes worked in competition for one cup, and the seventh and eighth forms for another. The first of these was won by the senior class, and the second by the eighth form. The Mimetic Floor Drill was given over to the two teams, and the fifteen points award was won by the Red Team. After all the events were over, there was a school march, followed by the singing of school songs and the awarding of cups. Quite a large audience was present, made up of the parents of the girls and other friends of the school.

He had very little schooling. He studied law when he was older. Then he was made President of the United States in 1860. He wanted to free all the slaves, but the Southern states didn't want him to. So that's how they started the Civil War. He was made President for the second time in 1864. On the evening of April 15, 1865, he went to the theater with Mrs. Lincoln, and an actor shot the President, who died the next day. He liked to live a simple life, 'every day he would go out walking to forget his sorrows. He wore an old shawl and a tall hat. He had four children and only one is living. LOUISE SHEDD, Form Four.

CUMMINS, 1923 l 28 l TOP-KNOT Columbus School for Girls The Yellow Streak EY, Baba, come out on the front porch a minute. I've got some- thing to show you. At the sound of her brother's voice, Babbie looked up from her dishpan, and dashed through the house, dry- ing her hands on her apron as she went. , On the porch she saw her father -tall and handsome, with kind, twizikly brown eyes, her brother, Jack, about nineteen, very dark, with broad shoulders and his father's eyes, and last, but not least, she saw a covered chip basket near the head of the steps. She looked inquiringly at it, and as she watched, to her great consternation, the covering on top shook convulsively once or twice, and with a little shuffling movement, the basket fell bumpily down the steps, accompanied by yelps of terror from its interior. With a look of mingled surprise, inquiry, and delight, at her father and brother, who seemed much amused, Babbie took the five steps at one leap and possessed herself of the basket. Lend me your knife a minute, Jack. -That yelp had the earmarks of a puppy. Go on, what're you givin' me ? said her brother, tossing his knife down to her. No dog ever sounded like that. There's a, Ka-poo-poo bird in that basket. Dad captured it in its native jungle. Be careful, there. It's ferocious. But Babs didn't hear a word Jack was saying, for through the hole she had made popped the head of a small brown and white puppy, wiith big, frightened yellow eyes. Babs, with an ecstatic gurgle, had extricated him from the basket and was cuddling him in her arms and whispering baby talk into one ear. Well, ums was a sweet 'ittle pupsy-dog, yes, ums was. Does ums love Babsy? she inquired, holding him up in front of her. The puppy was so bewildered by the strange surroundings and all this sudden atten- tion, that he refused to answer, and only looked exceedingly bored. Great hat, Babbie, Jack interposed at this point, let up on the fond raptures and give us a look at the pup. Rather soiled, isn't he ? Indignantly Babbie rose from the path where she had been sitting and drew herself up to as haughty a position as her seventeen years would allow and retorted, Well, I guess if you had wanted a puppy as long as I E291 ?I'0P-KNOT Columbus School for Girls have, you'd be glad to see him, too. He's the sweetest thing in the world. Just look at his eyes. Did you ever see such a pitiful expression in your life? That fall scared him most to death. She walked sedately up the steps and deposited the puppy on the doormat, where he stood, rather wobbly as to legs, and looked about him with a very serious expression. He was a Pointer, white by nature, with the exception of two big tawny spots - one all around his left eye and the other on his back.. The one on his eye made his face look crooked, and he had a way of cocking one ear and wrinkling up his forehead that gave him an expression of deep thought and contemplation. Now then, that being that, observed Jack, tell us where you got him, Dad. Mr. Ord had two of them up at his place, and he sent this one down to us. He's a thoroughbred, but he certainly doesn't look it just now. Suppose you trot him around back and give him a bath before Mother gets home from her marketing, and we'1l surprise her- I forgot to tell you, he called after them, that his name is Michael Caermarther- Micky for short. I have his pedigree upstairs. Micky very quickly won his way to the hearts of the Witcher family, much to the disgruntlement of Tounce, the big, black collie who had, up until this time, been the sole canine occupant of the place, and who con- sidered it his sacred duty to guard it.. Micky considered this his duty, too, until he and Tounce had come to blows about it several times, and then he was willing to retire from the competition. He was an affection- ate-minded puppy, and early got the habbit of climbing up into the laps of his friends to be petted. The family, with the exception of Babs, objected to this so strenuously that after a time it dawned upon Micky that his com- pany in that capacity was not desired, and so, after that, he contented himself by retiring to a corner of the porch, where he would sigh longingly and look at them very wistfully. His greatest trial, however, was not being allowed to go with Tounce to bring in the cows every evening. He would stand on the porch, eagerly watching the performance, and some- times become so excited that he would dash up and down with little whines and yelps. Occasionally he would go near Mr. Witcher, put his head on his knee, and use all the canine eloquence he possessed in begging permis- sion to go just once, but it was never granted. - l30l TOP-KNOT Columbus School for Girls When Micky was about two years old, he was perfect, in Mr. Witcher's estimation. The clumsy, ungainly pup had developed into a slender, sen- sitive dog, with all the marks of a thoroughbred, from his broad intelligent forehead to his point. Mr. Witcher had had him out many times, and he had never failed to locate his covey, or to stiffen to a point, right foreleg up, tail low, and- head out, at the first scent of the birds. Then one day, four months before the contest in which Micky had been entered, Mr. Witcher took him out to train him to a gun.. They were crossing a field when suddenly Micky pointed, and just ahead of them a covey of quail fiew up from the underbrush. Mr. Witcher hastily took aim and fired three shots in succession. It was the first time Micky had ever heard a gun, and the noise terrified him. Trembling all over, with his tail tucked between his legs, he cowered to the ground, and then, when his fright became too much for him, he bolted for home like a released arrow. Mr. Witcher simply stood andlooked after him, with a little frown on his face. Well, can you beat that ? he said slowly, after Micky had disappeared. Think of the dog being yellow after I've had him in training all these months. I guess that puts us out of running for the Maxfield Trophy. He turned homeward pensively, wondering at his dog, with the fated gun over his shoulder. I should have known enough not to spring it on him all at once, he mused.. Poor dog, I don't wonder he was scared. As he was going up the path to his house, a Very forlorn Micky came to meet him and to apologize. He sat down on the path in front of Mr. Witcher and held up a penitent paw to be shaken. The offered paw was accepted very gravely and when Micky realized that he was forgiven, his joy knew no bounds. He tore all around the yard and house and even began to worry an old rubber he found, which was most undignified for a grown pointer. He was still racing when Babbie came out to meet her father and take him in to dinner. Why, what in the world is the matter with Micky ? she asked, upon perceiving his antics. Second puppyhood or something? It's relief more than anything else, I think. I just had him out with a gun and he's yellow all the way through. Bolted for home at the Iirst shot. I couldn't stand the look in his eyes when I came back just now, and sol' I shook paws with him and told him it was all right. I think the news- rather went to his head. l31l Top-KNO-r Columbus School for Gans Micky yellow? It's hard to believe. Are you sure it was the gun that scared him ? Absolutely. It shook him up to such an extent that he's almost afraid of his own shadow. He's no good, I guess.' We might as well ship him out to the farm. Micky seemed to know that he was being discussed, because he came and stood by Babbie with his head pressed against her knee.. She leaned over to pat him, and then said to her father, with a little catch in her voice: Can't we please keep him here, Daddy? He's such a beauty, and he loves us all so much. And we haven't any watch dog, since Tounce died. He knows he's disappointed you, and he'll try to make it up, in some other way - I know he will. Of course you're sorry about the Maxfield Trophy, but we'd rather have one good, faithful dog around the place, blue ribbon or not, than all the gold cups in the world, wouldnt we ? Well, I don't know about that, but if you have set your heart on him, Babbie, you may have him, although it does seem a shame that he can't live up to that pedigree of his. I'm afraid he hasn't the grit' even for a watch dog, but we'll see. Pd be willing to bet you anything that inside of two months, Micky will have more than made up to you the loss of that cup. I'll take you up on it. Shall we make the stakes a three-pound box of Page and Shaw's ? Thus it was that Micky remained with the Witchers, and they never regretted. having kept him. Babbie had him with her constantly, and the two became the closest of friends. He never quite forgot, however, that he had displeased his master, and often when he was on the porch, Micky would go up and put a paw on his knee and look at him with so much love and penitence in his amber eyes that it would have taken a much harder hearted man than Mr. Witcher to have resisted him. Then, a week before the two months were up, Micky got his chance to prove to Mr. Witcher that gold cups dont really count at all, compared to the love and loyalty of a dog. It was nearly midnight, when Micky was suddenly awakened by the sound of a footstep on the porch. He was wide awake and up the steps in an instant, just in time to see a leg disappear through the living-room window. Micky was always very cordial to guests, but he thought that the kind who came hours after the family had retired, and entered the house E321 TOP-KNOT Columbus School for Girls by windows, should be investigated. So, with a sharp, clear bark of chal- lenge, he sprang through the open window. At the sound, the burglar, a small man with a black handkerchief over the lower half of his face, turned quickly, and Micky was almost blinded by the light of his dark- lantern. Only for an instant, however, for with a deep growl he sprang at the throat of the intruder. But the man was ready for him, and with a stiletto-like knife that he had hastily drawn from his belt, he slashed Micky's shoulder to the bone. The heavy impact of the dog's body carried him to the floor, and in falling, his outstretched arm knocked over a statue of Venus de Milo, and shattered it to fragments. The clatter awoke the family, and almost immediately Mr. Witcher and Jack appeared in the doorway. One glance was sufficient to explain the situation, and very quickly they had the man and the dog separated, but not before the burglar had plunged his knife into Micky's side. Here, Jack, tie this chap up, while I telephone for the police, said Mr. Witcher, on his way to the hall. Sure thing, Dad. Hurry up so we can attend to Micky. I'm afraid he's about done for. If it hadn't been for that durned hound, I'd never hev been caught, muttered the man, as Jack bound his hands and feet with a bathrobe cord. Hope I killed him. You probably did, you cold-blooded Indian, and it's nothing to be proud of, let me tell you. If there were more like that dog, and fewer like you, this world wouldn't be the place it is. There, I guess you're fixed. The police station is only two blocks away, so we won't detain you long. I 'spose you don't call from five td ten years behind the bars 'detain- in ?' Say, thet reminds me, will ye phone me wife and tell her I won't be comin' home fer dinner? You might inform her fer me that I'm dinin' at the club, he added bitterly. Before he could say more, Mr. Witcher re-entered the room with two policemen. Well, I'l1 be blowedl ejaculated one of them. If it ain't Slippery Mike. This is a happy night fer us, Mr. Witcher. This here feller has cracked more safes and lifted more jewels and silver in two months than any of the rest of 'em have in two years. We've a special little place a-waitin' fer ye, me lad, and ye'll do Well to come along without any fuss. Saying this, he unbound Mike's feet, and snapped a pair of handcuffs on his wrists. l33l ' TOP-KNo'1' Columbus School for Girls We'll take care of him now, Mr. Witcher, he said as they went out. I hope the blighter din't kill yer pup. I don't think he did, Al. Just cut up a little. Good night to.you. He bolted the door and then returned to the living-room where Jack and Babbie, who had come down as soon as the coast was clear, were trying to determine how seriously Micky had been hurt. A very brief examination showed Mr. Witcher that the stiletto had done its work and that poor, loyal little Micky had not long to live. Babbie brought Warm Water, and they bathed his wounds and made him as comfortable as possible for the short time remaining to him. He was very grateful, realizing that they were trying to help him, and, although he was suffering horribly, he wagged his tail feebly, and attempted to lick the hands that caressed him. Mr. Witcher and Jack were both a little husky, and Babbie sobbed openly as she patted Micky and tried to make herself believe that he Wasn't going to die. But their efforts to help him were in vain. and as they sat, silent, watching him, Babbie on the floor beside Micky, and Jack on the arm of his father's chair, he suddenly shivered all over, gave them one last look, and lay still. Jack turned abruptly away, and Mr. Witcher drew Babbie to her feet and tried to quiet her sobbing, but her smile was infinitely sadder than her tears. He was a hero, darling, and I think he died happy, knowing that he had helped us. I did him a great injustice. His only yellow streak was a heart of pure gold, and he gave that for us. No one could help loving him to death. I don't know what I'll do Without him, Daddy, said Babbie, pathetically. The next morning Micky was buried by Mr.. Witcher, Jack, and Bab- bie, out under the apple tree in the back yard. His epitaph read: Micky, died September, 1922. He gave his life for love. REBECCA E.

MILDRED PARKER, 1923 E341 4 TOP-KNOT Columbus School for Girls What is Your Pet Delusion? E all go about deceiving ourselves a lot in this world. We fool ourselves about our own importance and our own purity of mo- tives.. Our personal ambitions readily translate themselves into desires for service. Our grudges become sacred causes. We trick our- selves into a new appreciation of our own importance in the scheme of the universe. I, for instance, run for office. I am a good enough person, and enjoy seeing my picture in the paper and my name on the billboards, and I con- gratulate myself at the thought of coming in contact with the great and near-great. I tell the world that my candidacy is inspired by my zealous concern for the well-being of my fellow man. The tragedy of it is that I myself believe it. Let us cite another case. Suppose I feel ill at ease with the other sex. We'll say I am positively embarrassed in their presence. I will tell myself and my friends that I am a man hater. I will persuade myself that men are stupid, base, and absurd. At least that is what I will say until I meet my doom, or rather achieve my salvation. Again suppose I were a man who didn't have the courage to play the game of life. What would I do? Why I would turn reformer and sit in the grandstand and throw pop bottles at the winners. The regrettable thing about this deception is that we carry it on in such earnestness. A gay deceiver may be forgiveng a solemn one is unpardonable. There should be a law against them. Congress should appoint a commission at once. This commission should annually examine all and report those of us who are found guilty of taking ourselves too seriously. We should be sentenced to a corrective treatment. We should be forced to read daily the opinions which our relatives, friends, and acquaintances have secretly expressed' as to our merits and abilities. One week of this treatment should serve as a cure for all but the most hardened cases. This simple and efficient step would introduce a new age of levity and sincerity. It would be the dawn of a new day. It would revolutionize our social standards. We would live happy, honest lives, free from care and complexity. JULIA NEWTON, 1924 E351 TOP-KNOT Columbus School for Girls John Doe HE isolation hospital was made up of four dreary, barrack-like build- ings, separated from each other and from the World of well. human beings, by high stockades with barbed wire strung along the top. The diphtheria pavilion, in the corner furthest from the gate, appeared, at first glance, to have been built hurriedly of whatever boards came to hand, to be used only until something more permanent could be put up. Inside, the walls were plastered and painted a shiny cream color. The iioors were of brightly varnished linoleum. There were long rows of white iron cots against each wall. The only other furnishings were a glass topped iron table and two white chairs in the center of each ward, where the nurses made out their charts. Four wards made up a pavilion. Private rooms did, not exist. There was no odor of disinfectantsg disin- fectants were unnecessary where every patient had the same disease. At one end of every ward was a small room, thel mortuary room, containing only a table, of which the legs were iron pipes, and the top, a marble slab with as little gutter around the edge. Interne Mcllvane was on duty when the gate-keeper came to the ward announcing that a tramp who looked sick and claimed to have diphtheria, was seeking admittance. The young doctor went out to make a diagnosis. This was not ordinary tramp. Although his clothes were now patched and shiny in places, they had been well tailored and evidently made to fit him. His face, in spite of the terrorized look in his eyes, was that of a man who has been a gentleman. The face of the doctor who examined his throat, was grave as he ordered the patient to the division of the diphtheria pavilion allotted to the men and boys who were critically ill. He had a small' hand bag which the officers tried to make him relinquish. When he learned that the rules forbade a patient's taking any possessions into the ward, he begged to- be allowed to leave the hospital and die in some alley. That was out of the question. To enter the gates of an isolation hospital is like going to prison, once one has entered, one cannot leave until cured, or dead. The man evidently could not live long, and his distress was so pitiful that the officers relented, and permitted him to keep his precious grip, which he would allow no one to touch. After his bath he was placed in the cot next to the room for the dead. When the charge- nurse asked what name and address to put on his chart, he replied: Just put me down as John Doe. l36l TOP-KNOT Columbus School for Girls Several days passed. John Doe, whether delirious or rational. always guarded his bag. On the fifth day after his arrival, the charge nurse put the screen, which was only used when a patient was dying, around his bed. About the middle of the morning, as Dr. Mcllvaine was making his rounds, he came to John Doe's bed. When the man saw the white-coated interne standing beside him, he sat up. Doctor, am I going to die ? Oh, nog you still have a chance. A long slim hand caught the doctor's arm. But, Doctor, do you think I can take that chance? Am I going to die? I've got to know! Yes, I'm afraid you are. Oh, Doctor! Don't tell me that! I can't die! I'm not fit to die! There was a long pause. How long can I last? Not more than a few hours. Doctor, for God's sake call a minister! I must see a minister! Get a Lutheran if you can. Father was a Lutheran minister. But if you can't get a Lutheran, any Protestant will do. Only make him hurry, Doctor, before it's too late !-Good God! How can I die !-No, Father Ryan is a Catholicg he will not do. 1 The doctor called a nurse, and while she was telephoning to minister after minister, he asked the man where he wished to be buried. The reply was, I guess the dissecting room is good enough for a man like me. The nurse came back, saying that none would come to the pest-house. John Doe, dying as he was, got out of bed in his agony. He fought death with all his remaining strength, and staggered with the effort. He refused to lie down until he could see a minister. Dr. Mcllvaine threw on his overcoat and canvassed all the Lutherans in the city. Each said he would be glad to do his duty-but when he heard the word pest-house, he paled, and gave some excuse. One was afraid he might carry the disease to his congregation. Another had a wife and children dependent on him. A third had to attend a meeting. When the doctor realized that he could not get a Lutheran, he tried the pastors of other denominations. Each Man of God had some excuse, no matter how trivial, to offer. Late in the afternoon an austere Scotch Presbyterian was found, who agreed to go. He was a tall, gaunt man whose lips made one straight line, but Whose eyes were kindly. - I37l TOP-KNOT Columbus School for Girls Back in the hospital, John Doe held to life by sheen force of will. He begged to be allowed to speak with the minister in private. There was no place to move him except to the mortuary room. His cot and his bag were taken in there, and when the doctors left, the minister was sitting on the marble slab, ready to hear what this derelict wished to say. When the minister came out, an hour later, he staggered, the sweat poured from his face, he could scarcely stand, his eyes expressed the greatest horror imaginable. The doctors offered him some whiskey, which he drank, and then he left, refusing to tell anything of what he had heard. A few minutes later, when the doctors went to take John Doe back to his usual place, they found him dead. In, his bag were found only four things, all of them showing signs of having been frequently and carefully handled. First, there was a girl's satin party slipper which had once beenl blue, but was now a light, dull cream color except along the seams where bits of blue still lingered. Next was a long kid glove, now turned yellowish. Third, was a package, wrapped in German newspaper, browned and cracking along the folds from having been many, many times unwrapped and then carefully restored to its original position. In this package was all of a woman's exquisite, dark, auburn hair, which had evidently been cut off close to the head, for the upper part was uneven. It was tied with a crumbling ribbon, now brown and blue in patches. The last thing in the bag was a map, on which were marked the points on the compass. On the east side was a sawtoothed line, marked worm fence. In an upper corner of this fence was a circle marked oak tree. Near the center of the paper was another' circle marked large rock. A dotted line of red ink connected the tree with the rock and extended further. The distance from tree to rock was marked twenty-iive feet g the rest of the line ten feet. At its end was-' a large red cross. And that is all that anyone ever knew. The very manufacturers' labels had been clipped from his clothes and hat. One of the doctors quietly remarked that the cutting off of a woman's hair was the German equivalent of the old English scarlet letter. The police questioned the minister, but he refused to betray the man's dying confession. The story was seized by the newspapers and published all over the country. But although every effort was made, every possible chance examined, no one could ever discover the identity of John Doe. JEANNE B. PHILLIPS, 1924 E381 TOP-KNOT Columbus School for Girls A Page from the Diary of Sir John Quff August 34th. This afternoon I made a brief expedition to the forest, to hunt for the marble that I lost while playing there yesterday. It was a very fine agate, my especial pet, and I had been decidedly chagrined at losing it. My search was not unrewarded, for, after about fifteen minutes, during which time I carefully covered several acres of ground, I came upon my marble, in the midst of an enormous pile of brush and leaves, apparently swept together by last night's thunder storm. Well pleased with my success, I directed my steps homeward, stopping from time to time, to pluck bits of fungus for my collection. I found a rare specimen of Kohlrbuteria Painculata, perfect with its delicate markings of Vermilion and purple. As I reached up to detach it from its native moorings, I observed a peculiar rotary motion in the foliage at the tops of the trees. Instantly, I flung myself on the ground, and listened intently with my left ear. I discerned a faint, distant sound like the ticking of an alarm clock under a pillow. I sprang to my feet in horror. I recognized the hoofbeats of an approach- ing Kokobird! It is a terrible beast, of the genus Ichthyosaurus Quad- ricessur, with the body of a rhinoceros and the head of a woman. It kills its victims by elocution. My soul writhed in dread and fear. I was alone, totally unarmed, with the exception of a cutlass, a double-barrelled rifle, and a pair of six-shooters. I cast these aside as encumbrances practically useless under the circumstances. I realized the immediate need of seek- ing safety as expeditiously as possible. I bethought myself of home and Mother, but that was impractical. Already the Kokobird must have its nose on my trail. I turned wildly, and dashed through the underbrush for a few hundred kilometers. Suddenly the ground seemed to drop from beneath me, and I felt myself plunging through space. I quickly seized my boot-straps, and checked the speed of my fall sufficiently to facilitate an easy landing among the rocks at the bottom of the abyss, for such was the situation in which I seemed to be. After straightening my cravat, and dusting my boots, I looked upward to see the height from: which I had fallen. As I gazed at the lofty wall of rock, the head of the Kokobird appeared at the top. When it saw me, its eyes, lighted with evil glee, it bared its teeth in anticipation, and immediately flung its massy bulk over the edge of the cliff. I carefully noted the direction of its downward E391 TOP-KNOT Columbus School for Girls course, and leaped onto the end of a huge log, the other end of which was unsupported. The Kokobird lit upon that unsupported end, and the impact sent me flying into the air. I detached my palm-leaf fan from my belt, and using it as a rudder, I managed a skillful arrival at the top of the cliff. On glancing back at the Kokobird, I observed that it had burst a blood vessel in a fit of rage, and was dying tumultuously on the end of the log. Smiling with satisfaction, I once more turned my course toward home. But I lost my marble on the Way, and now I shall have to hunt for it again tomorrow.

' I . fl 2 El l l l wx , E401 TOP-KNOT Columbus School for Girls The Hidden Vault ARKN ESS fell over the desert as the little exploring party of Colonel Solomon Gordon was yet four miles from its destination. All day the little party had traveled over the burning sands and under the blistering sun, and the night that came so suddenly, was a relief. A slight breeze had arisen and had somewhat cooled the scorched faces of the trav- elers. The sky overhead was a deep black, thickly overspread with twink- ling yellow bits.. Except for the soft thudding tramp of the pack animals, and a low muttering now and then, silence reigned. I think, said Colonel Gordon, turning to the young man at his side, that we ought to halt for a half-hour and look after those fool Africans. Just a little while ago, I heard them muttering, and: gibbering about some- thing. That's the third time I've heard them doing that since the sun went down. Perhaps it wouldn't be a bad plan, returned the other. The Colonel was a man who believed in prompt action, and five minutes later the party had halted at a clump of palm treessurrounding an oasis. The little party consisted of fifteen blacks, seven mules, four horses, and three white men-Colonel Gordon, Lieutenant Hugh Brumley, and Sergeant John Smith. Colonel Gordon was the leader of the expedition. They had started from Alexandria two months before, and had made their way slowly up the Nile as far as Berber. From there, they had headed due east across the sandy wastes toward the mountains of Kureb, and now they were on the last lap of their journey. A few more hours, and they would be in possession of what they sought. The little group of blacks sat huddled together around the fire. There was muttering and gesticulating among them. A short distance away sat Colonel Gordon and his two assistant officers. Hey, Smith, see what's wrong with those blacks, said the Colonel. Smith rose, saluted, and turned to do the Colonel's bidding. He was very much in awe of the Colonel. Colonel Gordon was short of stature and was of very stocky build. He had a short, iron-gray beard that was trimmed to a pointl His seamed and yellowed face showed evidence that this was not the first trip of exploration he had taken. But the most noticeable feature about the Col- onel was his eyes. They were small and brown, like those of a ferret, and darted here and there, seeming to see everything at once. l41l' TOP-KNOT Columbus School for Girls Now, Brumley, and the Colonel turned toward the Lieutenant, I want to make quite sure that you understand my plans. But for a time the Colonel sat silent. He seemed to be speculating on just how to begin. The young man at his side waited patiently. Brumley was fully six feet in height. He was lithe and athletic in bearing. His face was also tanned, but lacked the hard and worn look of the Colonel's.. Brumley's eyes were clear and frank, and did not waver now as he gazed steadfastly at the Colonel. At last Gordon broke the silence. We ought to reach Tokar in about two hours. Tokar is just at the bottom of the hill on which lies the little village of Linkat. At Linkat we will make our investigations. I will leave twelve of the blacks at Tokar, with Smith in charge. Then you and I will take the other three and go up to Linkat. No use in dragging the whole crowd up with us, that I can see. You are quite right, replied Lieutenant Brumley. About how long will we remain at Linkat, so I can arrange about supplies? We will take no supplies with us, as I expect to bring back so much, returned the Colonel. This is going to be one of my greatest trips. I'm sure of it, he added, with a gleam in his little eyes. Beg pardon, sir, but- Both men started. Smith had returned with his information. Those blacks yonder say that they heard an Egyptian Gesha bird screeching over us all afternoon. They are very superstitious, and believe it to be a warning. And -, Smith hesitated. Go on, prompted Gordon. They say that it is a sign of death to some member of the party. Bahl exclaimed the Colonel, that's all nonsense. Get ready to resume the march at once. Very good, sir. And, Smith, tell those bloomin' blacks to stop all that noise. Very good, sir. II Three hours later Colonel Gordon and Lieutenant Brumley, accom- panied by three blacks, were climbing up the steep slopes of Kureb. A half-mile below them at Tokar, were stationed the pack animals and the other blacks, under the charge of Sergeant Smith. The journey from the oasis to Tokar had been made in silence, except for an occasional murmur from the blacks. E421 TOP-KN01' Columbus School for Girls Funny how superstitious these Africans are, said the Colonel, as he and his companions reached the top of the hill. Yes, deucedly funny. Now tell me, Brumley, he continued, has anything happened yet, that is in any way out of the ordinary? And we have already completed half the journey. Not yet that I can see, returned the Lieutenant, and peered down the narrow village street in front of them. Both men halted. Linkat was only a little mountain village, consist- ing of five or six stone huts built against the side of the rocky cliff that rose behind the village. That cliff was said to contain hidden treasures, and it was for that reason that Colonel Gordon had made this trip into Egypt. The darkness in the little street was almost impenetrable. The air was close, and smelled of damp earth and of wood smoke. The Colonel moved up the street, which was not more than a hundred yards in length. Brumley and the three black men followed. Suddenly the Colonel stopped. Calling Brumley to him softly he pointed to a black hole in the side of the rocky cliff. Here's where we begin, he said. But are you sure? questioned Brumley. It would be rather un- pleasant to break into one of these huts, and arouse some of the villagers. Why, man, exclaimed the Colonel, Pm positive that this is the place. I haven't studied all my maps for nothing. But we're wasting time. Is it necessary to do everything tonight ? asked the Lieutenant. Absolutely l returned Gordon. Now we'll leave these three Afri- cans down at the end of the street, and go in together. So saying, he led them to the place where they were to wait, with instructions that they were to return to Smith at Tokar at the first signs of dawn, if he, the Colonel, had not returned. Now, Brumley, are you ready ? the Colonel whispered, five minutes later. Brumley answered in the affirmative. The Colonel stepped silently through the hole in the rock into the inky blackness within. The Lieu- tenant followed. For several minutes they remained motionless-then a round circle of light played around the interior. They were alone. The room was about ten feet square. It was hewn out of the side of the cliff, but the rear wall was made of huge, closely fitting blocks of granite. Gordon walked forward, and began to run his fingers over these. E431 TOP-KNOT Columbus School for Gifrls Four from ther left, three from the top. Press right edge near mid- dle, he repeated, suiting his action to his words. The block did not move. Again the Colonel pushed. The rock seemed to move inward a little. He laid his light on the floor, and pushed harder. Look, Brumley, look, he cried, it's moving. Hold your light here a little closer. There. The great stone block swung back. The two men stared within the aperture thus made. A narrow passage about eight feet high extended before them. The Colonel stepped in.. Brumley followed. They pro- ceeded along the passage-way for several yards, when they suddenly came against a blank wall. Brumley moved his light around. The passage-way had taken a sharp turn to the right. A few yards farther and the two men came to a flight of steps leading downward. Shall we go on? asked the Lieutenant. We can't stop now, replied Gordon. Give me your light. The Colonel bent down and examined the steps. A deep film of dust had gathered over them, but he could still distinguish the fact that they had been hewn out of solid rock. Very remarkable, he murmured. Let us go on. There were about six steps downward, then another straight passage- way several yards in length, then another flight of steps, but this time leading upward. There were only four steps at the top of which was a short, narrow passage-way, then a blank wall. The Colonel turned the light to right and to left, but there' was no turn. Perhaps there's another one of those doors, suggested Brumley. Well anyway, this wasn't on the map, replied Gordon. I know that map by heart. We'll try these stones, and see. By pushing each stone in turn, he was at last rewarded by seeing one swing back. Both men stepped eagerly forward. With the light of the lamp, they could distinguish a room of vast proportions. On one side were cases of some dark material, studded with jewels., Three richly carved tables of ebony were placed side by side in the center of the room. On each was a great golden vase, and a litter of parchment and scrolls. Opposite the cases, set in the rock a little over four feet up, was a row of iron spikes, placed about two feet apart. These spikes were about eight inches long, and were as pointed as daggers. At the far end of the room, was a raised throne, over which was hung a vari-colored drapery of some l44l TOP-KNOT - Columbus School for Girls heavy material. On either side of the throne, rose two immense golden statues. There seemed to be but one huge eye in each of them. Across the top of the throne, carved in the granite, were the words, Tel-el- Amarna VI. Colonel Gordon and the Lieutenant stood in awed silence for several minutes, gazing at the magnificence of the scene before them. At last the Colonel broke the silence. Behold, he cried, the treasure house of Tel-el-Amarna, sixth of a line of famous Egyptian kings. After all, this trip has not been in vain. The Colonel walked forward toward the throne, but suddenly he trip- ped on a little raised portion of the floor. His lamp fell to the earth. The room was plunged into darkness. Confound it! I left the other lamp in the other room. Got a match, Brumley ? said the Colonel, getting to his feet. No, sir. Well, get down on the iioor and look for the light, then. Brumley kneeled, and began to feel for the lamp. The Colonel was a few feet away from him. Although they had non light, a soft glow seemed to fill the room. The Colonel looked up. Gad, he cried, what's that? and started back against the wall. Instantly there was a groan and a dull thud. Brumley leaped to his feet with the unlighted lamp in his hands. Staring at him through the semi-darkness were two great gleaming eyes - the jeweled eyes of the golden statues. Brumley was a strong man, but he could feel ther short hairs bristle on the nape of his neck. Colonel, he whispered. There was no answer! Then Brumley became conscious of the lamp in his hand, and turned on the switch. Im- mediately the gleaming eyes vanished. At his feet lay Colonel Gordon, face downward, with a knife wound in his back. Brumley stooped over him and touched him. There was no sign of life. Dead ! he gasped. He turned the light upward. One of the dagger- like spikes above was dripping with blood. Brumley turned and stumbled blindly out into the passage-way. His one idea was to, get help. Minutes, perhaps hours, later, Lieutenant Brumley found himself coming through the great stone doorway into the outer room.. As he stepped through, his coat caught on a jutting piece of the rock, and the great door swung shut behind him, but he seemed not to notice it. E451 TOP-KNOT Columbus School for Girls When he came out into the village street, the first faint rays of day- light were penetrating the darkness. He and the Colonel had been in there all night! Brumley made his way down the hill to where Smith was waiting. Smith must have realized that something had happened, for he ran to meet the worn and disheveled Lieutenant. Come, come quickly, Brumley cried. The Colonel has been killed I The two officers ran up the steep incline together. They, came at last into the little room, breathless and spent, only to find that the great stone door was closed. They worked for some time, but the granite wall re- mained as solid as if all the stones were stationary. I'm afraid the Colonel alone knew the secret of these stones, mur- mured Brumley sadly, and then he related the entire story to the sergeant. Then the blacks were right in their superstition, after all, said Smith. ' Poor Colonel, said Brumley, apparently not listening, I'm afraid we will have to go back without him. Turning, the two men walked slowly with bowed heads, out of the little room. And the treasure vault of Tel-el-Amarna was again a hidden secret. ELIZABETH L. SOUTHARD, 1924 . .... X' I -I V1 5 b ff wx 'x C will 1' ,.,. ,N mx l 46 l TOP-KN01' Columbus School for Girls Sir Roger on the Bus S the streets this morning were quite disagreeable with half-melted snow, I abandoned the idea of following my customary habit of walking to my oiiice and boarded that vehicle which has lately come into such prominence, known commonly as the bus. Much to my sur- prise, I recognized among the passengers already established in their seats and half hidden behind their newspapers, my old friend Sir Roger, who was apparently making one of his infrequent trips into town. When the kind old gentleman saw me, he smiled pleasantly and invited me to occupy the seat beside him. - Sir Roger has always, during my long acquaintance with him, been extremely interested in his fellow men and fond of observing their common and individual peculiarities. The opportunity for such observation was the reason for Sir Roger's presence in a form of conveyance not entirely to his liking. It has long been a source of wonder to me, was Sir Roger's comment, that such a large number of people prefer to read what newspapers, which I have never been able to inducei myself to rely upon, contain in regard to some scandalous report, rather than to spend spare moments in the pur- suit of valuable information or in pleasant conversation with a neighbor. This remark was occasioned by the appearance of the man facing us, who was, with noble industry, acquainting himself with the news of the day. Now, young people, remarked Sir Roger with a nod toward a group of boys and girls bound for that institution where, upon the unrelenting insistence of one whose wisdom is infinitely superior, they pursue with reluctance the road to knowledge, spend their time with greater profit and pleasure. Instead of burying their faces and minds in newspapers, their interest is centered on human beings' and what goes on around them. If you will but fix your attentions on them for a minute, you will perceive how much greater is their delight in living than is that of the stodgy gentleman of theg Journal. It was indeed true that the members of the coming generation showed a lively and entertaining interest in everything and everybody. And while we are speaking of youth, continued Sir Roger, I should like to request you to inform me, if you are able, why the majority of men, when the golden gate of boyhood has swung behind them, forget that they K I47l TOP-KNOT Columbus School for G12-Iliff were ever members of that brotherhood, and have only disagreeable com- ments to pass on the pranks and even the serious ideas of their sons and daughters? This particular generation seems to be receiving more than its natural allotment of disapproval. Why, these young people are precisely similar to the young people who have with their presence sprinkled sunshine through the gloom of this old world for untold years. Perhaps they are a little livelier and less thoughtful than their prede- cessors, but youth has always been careless, and they are sound at heart. At this point in Sin Roger's discourse, the bus stopped to admit an ancient lady of feeble bearing. Immediately one of the group which had been the object of our attention for the last few moments, rose, and with great courtesy offered his seat to the woman. There, said Sir Roger, is a proof of what I have just been saying. I wish that all the complaining reformers, instead of giving vent to their displeasure in long articles which, if they but realized it, merely tend to aggravate matters, would spend a little careful thought in attempting to understand before they criticize. The bus stopped at my destination. Sir Roger refused my invitation to continue our conversation in my office, saying that he preferred to go further down town, as the business which he had come to transact demanded his presence there. Bidding the old gentleman farewell, I left him to begin the work of the day, with a genial feeling of kindliness toward the whole of mankind.

MILDRED PARKER, 1923 l 48 l TOP-KNOT Columbus School for Girls From my Window OW interesting it is to watch a crowd! How many thoughts it brings to one's mind! Often I amuse myself by sitting at my window and observing the people passing by. Faces! faces! faces! and each one different from the last. How amazing it is to think that the billions and billions of people in the world have each his own individual face, different in some respect from that of anyone else. I should think that some day there would be a shortage of faces. It seems impossible, considering the countless number of people through all the centuries, to devise a face which does not duplicate a preceding one. And this is true not only of faces. For each face there is a corres- ponding character. Every character is also different from every other one, so that no two persons have the same opinions on all subjects. No matter to what extent they may agree. there is always something over which they differ. How lonely this fact makes me feel! Especially when I think that out of so great a multitude there is no one who can ever understand me in every respect. Perhaps it is this that makes some people religious-they hope that there will at last be someone who will really understand. Again, it maybe this fact that causes some to seek the companionship of dogs or other animals-they hope that they will find in them what they have failed to find in human beings. I think this lack of perfect understanding must make everyone lonely at some time in life. I suppose it affects some people more than others, according to their nature. To some it may be only an occasional vague longing for something they do not know and cannot name. To others it may become so imperative that it even ruins their lives-for instance, some people may make hasty and unwise marriages because they are driven by the terrible fear of loneliness. More and more faces come and gog more and more people appear, loitering or hurrying on their way. All are intent on themselves and their own affairs, and never give a thought to anyone else. How important this man coming up the street thinks he is. And yet he is only one in an in- numerable host. A hundred years from now he will probably be com- pletely forgotten. Even now, although he may be of importance to his city, state, or even country, he is of no importance whatsoever to the great, immense universe. Since this is so, how can he dare think himself so E491 TOP-KNOT Columbus School for Girls superior that he need not trouble with others? How much more happi- ness and content he could bring not only to others, but also to himself, if he would only forget his own self and remember that he is only one atom in infinite space. VIRGINIA SHI-IDD, 1924 Analysis Last night I breathed the fragrant, rain-washed scent Of roses, felt their softness 'gainst my cheek, Admired the curving tints the dawn had lent In form and color that could almost speak. This afternoon I anaylzed my rose, Distilled it, tore the fibers shred from shred In testing pigment, fiber, scent, but those Were not the flower I loved. With lowered head Dejected, sick at heart, I laid aside My work, and went out doors to fairy land. The rising moon was pouring forth its tide Of silver through the leaves. Against my hand I felt a rose. My microscope had lied! The rose was there, and beauty had not died. THELMA L, HUGHES, 1923 Treolet I have given my word. I'm tempted to break it.

KATHARINE BANNON, 1923 I 50 l 7I'0P-KNOT Columbus School for Girls All Men Get Cold Feet TORIES have' been written about the descent of the mighty to the humble. A few have told of the humble's rise to the mighty. This is the story of how they met half way. Five miles behind the lines was a small supply shack, a kind of half dugout affair made of clods, tarpaper, and iron plating. One going along the muddy road which wound its way among the shell holes and tree stumps, would have hardly noticed this war-battered hovel. The inside was as dilapidated as the outside. Everything from bully-beef to dynamite stacked in untidy piles, lined the walls. It was the general supply station for the R. E. C.'s. Sergeant William McPherson leaned back against a crate of plum jam and drawled, I'd be five miles north of here, if I had my say about things. Damn it, you got me to enlist in the Engineers when I came over to fight. We've only seen one scrimmage, and then We didn't have anything to show 'em a good time With, except shovels and pickaxesf' Sergeant Kidd, lying in an improvised bunk on top of a pile of oleo- margarine cartons, answered in a drawl that was slow even for a Texan, Wal, I know personally that you would never have gotten into anything but the engineers. Why, you looked like you ought to have been wearin' knee pants and Buster Brown collars. They would never have let you into the infantry when you blushed like a girl every time you said that you were twenty-two. Sergeant McPherson cursed Kidd soundly, and blushing beautifully turned back to his ledger. All was quiet inside the hut except for the scratching of McPherson's pen and the rustling of the pages of the book which Kidd was reading. It wasn't long, however, before the silence was broken by the roar of a stricken motor, closely' followed by a sharp rap on the door. Kidd rolled down leisurely from his perch, and strolled over to open thq door. It was probably a motor truck bound north which had been struck by a wandering piece of shrapnel, and the drivers wanted to come in and warm their hands before attempting any repairs. He opened the door, and Bill, hearing a respectful, Yes, Sir, turned around to view the newcomers. He was as surprised as Aladdin the first time he rubbed his lamp. Before him stood four English officers, a major, two colonels, and a general,-a real, honest-to-goodness general, the kind that one, in I5ll TOP-KNOT Columbus School for Giirlis one's highest flights of imagination, pictures as an ideal English officer. He was the handsomest man Bill had ever seen in English khaki. His age was perhaps about forty-five or six. His build was that of a middleweight athlete, tall, broadf. of shoulder and narrow of hip. Bill did not slide from his stool to salute, but with one leap he landed in the middle of the room, at attention. Sorry to interrupt, but a piece of shrapnel got mixed up with the radiator. It's a little chilly outside, so we thought we would cQme in. Won't you have a cigarette ? I reckon he mussed it up some. They usually do, murmured Bill, selecting one. You're an American, aren't you? Where are you from? said the general, turning on his heel and looking Bill over. West Virginia, Sir. You are! West Virginia! Do you know anybody in Charleston, the Fisks, the Morgans, the Whites, the Gentrys ? Sure, I've heard of them, but I never had the opportunity to meet such celebrities. Pretty country down there? You bet, sirg the finest country in the World. Better than France, you think? This country is nice, sir, but it can't hold a candle to the scenery down that Way. My feet are cold. Do you mind if I remove these boots and warm my daisy trotters by your fire ? said this remarkable general drawing up a keg of nails and sitting down. Bill grinned his assent, waved the other officers to seats around the fire, and perched! himself again on his ledger stool. The others drew up in a little group by themselves, and he and the general became very friendly. They talked of West Virginia, the Middle West, and all of the United States, and finally of the American attitude toward the war. The boy forgot that this man, with his steaming stocking feet perched on the fender of the oil stove, was a general. The man thought of the boy! as an American citizen, and valued his opinion. Bill stood up valiantly for his country. You seeg Sir, he said, There is a large population of German descent, and Wilson doesn't dare enter the war until he is sure that they have had sufficient proof that their fatherland is in the wrong. The general smiled and nodded. He liked the boy's loyalty and earnestness. l52l TOP-KNOT V Columbus School for Girls They must have continued thus for about half an hour, then Kidd stuck his head in the doorway and announced that the repairs had been finished. The general pulled on his boots, said a hasty good-bye, and hurried away. The first two cars' had luck in starting and got away, but the third, more heavily laden with baggage, stuck fast in the half frozen mud. Bill and Kidd unpiled the baggage, got boards, helped pry the huge car loose, and put the baggage back on again. As the driver started his engine, Bill turned to him and said, Who is the big guy on ahead ? Why, that is His Majesty, General Haig, yelled the driver, starting off with a jerk. Bill walked into the hut, sat down on his stool, and stared at the stove and the nail keg. Suddenly he laughed long and low. My gosh! His Majesty, Sir Douglas Haig, Lord, Member of Parliament, Commander of English forces in France, he murmured. What on earth is wrong with you? said Kidd, slamming the door, and eyeing his pal suspiciously. I was just thinking that all men sometimes get cold feet, said Bill returning to his ledger. JULIA NEWTON, 1924 Calling Come home when the buttes are pink, When the sun is sinking low, When only the highest peaks are light, And all is dusk below. Come home when the light is fading, When the fire-flies start to play, When the mocking-bird sings a sweet good-night And swiftly Hies away. Come home when the stars are peeping From the sky of deepest blue, When the candles are lit by the fireside bright,- There is always a light for you. ISABEL R. STAFFORD, 1924 E531 TOP KNOT Columbus School for Girls Homesick I'm here in the big, soulless cityg I'm hating it worse every dayg I am free to go back to my mountains, But I know that it's here I must stay. Sometimes I wake up in the morning - A breeze has blown open my door, The birds-I can hear them all singingg It seems like my woodlands once more. I eagerly run to the window, But I stop halfway there with a sighg For the songbirds are just English sparrows, And gray smoke hides the blue of the sky. I'm smothered by towering. buildings- I've a longing to push them away- They hide all the stars and the sunsetsg It's insane they will drive me someday. I hate the paved streets and the side- walks, The roots of the trees can t get thru, It hurts me to hear horses trotting, For I know that it's hurting them, too. I want to get out of the city, This cramped-up, jammed-into place, With its crowds always hurrying, push- ing - I want to get out where there's space. I want to be somewhere that's open, Where as far as you look you can see The hills and the valleys and rivers, And living and breathing are free. KATHARINE BANNON, 1923 l 54 l TOP-KNOT Columbus School folr Girls On the Difference Between Education and Training No person can be called educated until he has organized his knowledge into fac- ulty. E. P. Whipple, Essay on Character. HAT is the difference between an educated creature and a trained one? I believe that the educated man or animal is the one who knows how to use to the best advantage every faculty and every bit of knowledge that he possesses. The purely trained man, on the con- trary, cannot rise to an unusual or unprepared-for occasion. When my dog sits up or rolls over at my command he is exhibiting the good training which I have worked hours to give him. He obeys, not as a result of a voluntary mental process, but as a reflex excited by a definite stimulus. But when he comes upstairs one morning, stands on his hind legs and peers into my face as I lie in bed late pretending to be asleep, then, turning around, creeps downstairs as quietly as possible and waits until he hears my call, when he comes up again with a rush to have a romp with me before I get upg then, I say, he is an educated dog. I never told him to be quiet when I was asleep, nor did I ever scold him for waking me. He had reasoned it all out, that if he did not like to be waked up out of a nap, in all probability I should not like it either. An ordinary grown dog taken from a kennel is incapable of ever becoming a pal. In fanciers' parlance, he is a kennel fool. Only a dog who has been raised among thinking human beings from puppyhood, is ever capable of reasoning a thing to a sensible conclusion. There was once a middle-aged foreign post graduate at Ohio State University whom the boys called Oom Paul Kruger. He had become degree-crazy, and a combination of letters, almost as long as his beard, trailed! after his name. At this university he was majoring in chemistry, and learned from his course that oats contained, in the right proportions, all the substances necessary for nutrition. Consequently he decided to live on uncooked rolled oats, and nothing else. It was before vitamins were understood, and he reckoned without them and without fruit acids. Before long he had a bad case of scurvy. With difficulty the doctors per- suaded him that he would be more comfortable on a mixed diet. Not long after that his money gave out, and all the professors on the campus took turns trying to get Kruger a job, as he refused to leave until he had got l55l TOP-KNOT - Y -Columbus School for Girls his degree. One man decided that a box factory would be the very place for Oom Paul, as he did' not see how even Kruger could do anything ridiculous in a box factory. But Kruger mashed his fingers trying: to nail on box bottoms, and spent all his spare time in the libraries trying to find a book on How to Drive Nails. When his finger ends were black and blue, he was put, to work pulling up the weeds in the campus lawns and flower bedsg but he lugged around a Comprehensive. Guide to the Classification of North American Flora and, sitting on the ground, traced down each little plant to be sure that he was not destroying at rare specimen. He tried to tutor some dull freshmen in mathematics, but he became so interested in the sociology of defectives that he neglected the poor boys' algebra while seeing how each one reacted to various problems in trigonometry. At the end of the year, the faculty gave Oom Paul the degree, which he had not earned, and so extolled the merits of another university's course in biologics that Kruger left them for good. This man was certainly trained to find a book every time he got into diflicultyg but, despite his diplomas, he was not well educated. He was unable to use the knowledge that he had been years accumulating. Possibly at one time, he was sufficiently educated to make his way in the world, but, at the time of which I am speaking, he had killed his common sense with too much book learning. He certainly was not worth as much as my educated dog. In my estimation the people who get stuck in a rut and stay there, belong to the trained classg while those who have learned to rise by con- sistent application of their knowledge, are the educated individuals.

It was a great relief after the many months when never a drop had fallen and the crops were parched and dry. Now it was evening, a warm September evening, and the rain had stopped. Fred and Georgia Flagg finished their supper and went out on the porch for a breath of cooler air. The sky was overcast with dark, scurrying clouds, and through the spaces between them the moon cast a soft, yellow light. The air was fresh and fragrant with the perfume of flowering pomegranates. Fred drew two lounging chairs side by side, and he and Georgia stretched themselves out, utterly relaxed, to enjoy the evening, watching the moon, and listening to the tree-frogs chanting their evening song in a nearby grove. They had sat this way perhaps an hour, drowsily comfortable, when the telephone rang, shattering the calm atmos- phere with its shrill insistence. Georgia scrambled to her feet, and ran into the house. Blinded by the lamplight, she stumbled hurriedly to the instrument. There was a long minute of silence while she listened. Then she began a rapid questioning. At last she hung up the receiver and turned away with a pale face and eyes dilated with fear. To her husband's quick Dear, what is it? she replied with frenzied haste: The big canal has broken its banks, and the water is coming this way! A flood! Who told you? Mr. Dorris. He said that the foreman on his ranch a mile north of here had just called to say that the water was only a half mile above there and coming fast. Oh, what shall we do! Just then the door opened and Teddy Weelsie, a Zuni Indian, came into the room. He was a tall, strong man, lithe and handsome. For two years he had worked for the Flaggs, and he was devoted to them both. Fred was obliged to travel a greats deal, and the Indian always insisted on spending the night by the living-room fire, guarding Georgia and the house. Now he carried a large armful of wood for the fire-place. I thought it might be cool in the morning, Mrs. Flagg, and you would like a fire. He spoke with grave friendliness. E571 TOP-KNOT Columbus School for Girls Thank you, Teddy. But have you heard of the flood? Yes, it is coming at a fast rate from the cross-cut. Mr. Dorris just telephoned. What shall we do? Suppose the water should get into the house ! She was outwardly calm now, but her voice rose excitedly. Well, Mrs. Flagg, if the water reaches us, you and Mr. Flagg must go. Go! Where to, Teddy ? Fred spoke sharply. I do not know, Mr. Flagg, but it is unsafe for you to stay here. These houses will not stand high water. The adobe melts, and the whole building crashes to the ground. No, you cannot stay. You must go. Hoh V? Just as she spoke, the telephone rang again. Georgia hastened to it. She listened, spoke a few words, and turned away. It was Mr. Dorris again. The flood is less than a mile above us. He says to pack a few of our most valuable things in a bag and drive right down to their house. It is likely that the water will turn before it can get that far. All right, you collect the things you want to take, while I get the bags. Teddy, you harness Pat and bring him to the side door as quickly as you can. ' The two men ran from the room, and Georgia began gathering together some precious belongings. Then Fred returned with the two suit- cases, and they began packing. They could hear a sullen roar in the dis- tance, growing louder and louder. They worked faster, with desperate haste. At last they were ready to go. Fred strode to the door and looked out. The first water had reached them, and was about a foot deep in the yard. Teddy drove up with Pat, and came splashing to the steps. f If you would bring some chairs, Mrs. Flagg could walk on them and keep dry. Hurry, for it is rising! They dashed into the house and brought out two chairs. Georgia came after them, and safelyl crossed the improvised bridge to the buggy. Fred followed her with the bags. He turned to Teddy. Are you coming with us, Ted ? No, Mr. Flagg, I stay.'i But Teddy, quavered Georgia, what will you do if the water gets very high? See, it is OVGIQ the hubs now. Huh! Teddy climb a tree. ' i581 TOP-KNOT Columbus School for Girls They drove off, water splashing against the wheels and oozing through cracks in the floor. It had begun to blow, and branches swished over their heads. Georgia crept closer to her husband and clutched his arm. At last they reached Mr. Dorris's, where they were received hospitably and made to feel at home. At the ranch, in the meantime, the faithful Indian had carried all the furniture that he could into the living-room, which was on a higher level than the rest of the house. He hoped that in, this way he could preserve the belongings of his adored mistress. When he had finished, he went to a large umbrella tree a few yards from the house, and swung himself on to one of its broad, low branches. He settled himself comfortably against the trunk and began his silent watch. For hours he sat there, peering at the water which was creeping slowly up the wall, and hoping that the foundations would stand. Never once did he take his eyes from that lapping, ever climbing water line. At last it began to lower, just a little at first, and then more quickly, until finally the porch fioor was visible. Still Teddy watched, until dawn appeared in the east. Then he jumped to the ground and ran into the house. He must put back the furniture before Mrs. Flagg came home. He worked' fast and soon had the rooms' in perfect order. Then, making sure that the house was tidy, and leaving a cheerful fire burning in, the fireplace, he went whistling off to his work in the field. ISABEL R.

Y good friend Sir Roger de Coverley and I were sitting before the fire last night, talking over the experiences of the day, as it is our custom to do when other more important matters do not occupy our time. After the old gentleman had watched the rising flames for many minutes, during which time we heard only the crackling logs defying the roaring winds which swept by the windows in fury, and the even tick- ing of the clock, he finally shifted his position and looked at me. Sir, says he, I had a pleasant visit with my niece this morning before I left the city, and quite unexpectedly learned a few things concern- ing the study habits of our young women. I may have told you that my niece is a teacher at a school for young ladies. The educational system of the school is all very interesting and deserving of close consideration. But the methods of study, especially, are unusual, and I dare say, I am in the position to increase your knowledge of the system now being advanced. Having assured Sir Roger that I had no occasion to know the proceed- ings of such a school, and that for this very reason, all information would be appreciated to the fullest extent, I induced him to enlighten me. He had been waiting for just this encouragement, and so immediately began his story, which I shall relate to all my friends. As Sir Roger does not always do things according to custom, it is not strange that he entered the building by the side door, and, after relieving himself of his hat, coat, and gloves, set out to find his niece, who, he was told, was supervising the school room. He said that he was wholly delighted to see how thei girls were engrossed in their work, for at the moment he appeared, only three-fourths of them turned to greet him. He also remarked that the students have been taught to concentrate in such a Way that they absorb the work before them, and yet have an adequate idea of the lesser events taking place around them. This fact was shown when the attention of every girl was indirectly centered upon Sir Roger's explanation to his niece. One young lady, who was seated much too far E601 TOP-KNOT Columbus School for Girls to the front of the room for her own interests, languidly arose, and, with paper and pencil ini hand, spent five minutes at the dictionary-and here Sir Roger reminded me that the table on which this vast book rested, was so placed that it afforded an excellent view of the entire room. My old friend said he was not a little disturbed to witness that the girl entertained much doubt as to just where in the dictionary the word in question was situated, on which account, he determined to suggest on that very day, an intensive review of the alphabet for all students. First the girl scanned the front of the book, then turned the leaves at the opposite end. Finally, however, her researches were brought to a close, for after tabulating one or two things on the paper, this same person glanced up joyously and smiled at a friend nearby. Next she stood squarely on both feet, paused for a fleeting moment, and regained her place through sheer instinct, since her eyes were well directed toward the back of the room. At first Sir Roger de Coverley could but wonder that there was not considerable talking among the pupils, because he remembers so distinctly his own boyhood, and has always been of the opinion that girls, though better behaved than boys, enjoy conversing quite as much as they. He afterwards learned, nevertheless, that a system has been established which gives a girl three permissions during a week, each of which lasts for one minute. My friend was able to see this system executed several times. He explained that the girl wishing to talk goes to a board at the rear of the room and on a paper where is listed the name of every student, makes a straight line after her own name. Afterwards, she goes to the person with whom she is desirous of speaking and, standing all the while, dis- patches her business. You know, says Sir Roger, I was really glad to see that work has become a pleasure to these girls. Indeed, sometimes their lessons afford them mirth, for I quietly noticed that smiles, and now and then even laughter, passed between, those who were privileged to talk on things having a direct bearing on school matters. Sir Roger pronounced his hearty approval of this new system for preserving order in the study hour, and believes that it will be successful in the end, since it is only to be expected that all people are likely to overestimate the exact length of sixty seconds. He could not understand, however, why anyone should have to be reminded that four persons only are to hold the floor during the same minute, four being a small number and easily counted in such a room. E611 TOP-KNOT Columbus School for Girls I very well recall how much annoyed Sir Roger was to learn that some few of the pupils are slow to observe. For, explained he, many came in the door, who on their way to their designated places, would stop to examine a cup, a paper, or some other object, which, I am led to believe, had been in that same position since the beginning of the school yearg all of which shows that there is no sound reason why the merits of the particular things should have remained unrecognized for so long. Still, there were other girls who made up for the deficiency here expressed, and often during the period of study, they showed their eagerness to learn. I rejoice, my kind friend told me, nodding his head, to see a bold little sparrow have his short visit acknowledged by five or six girls near a window, for the attitude of attentiveness is truly commendable in any shape, whatsoever. It is needless to say that Sir Roger perceived that these same few were among the first to read the contents of the most recent paper on. the bulletin-board. The old gentleman informed me that a bell rang which preceded the passing by five minutes. At the sound of this bell, each girl collected her various possessions, arranged them in a neat pile, and completely relaxed. During the brief interval a young lady was free to decipher the notices on the front board, to seek diversions by calculating the number of square inches in the ceiling, to notice any change in the weather without, or to outline rapidly her accomplishments of the period. Sir Roger re- marked that there was something of confusion when the second bell failed to ring at the appointed time, and just as the girls had turned their heads to seek an explanation from his niece, the bell was heard. Last of all, Sir Roger told me that, had he a daughter, he would send her to just such a place of education, where she might be taught not only the bare rudiments of learning, but something of the underlying principles and benefits which go to make up the government of a school, all of which I shall enumerate in my next paper.

' l62l TOP-KNOT Columbus School for Girls Lenton Resolutions HENEVER I see the necessity or advisability of making any kind of resolution, whether it is to be permanent or merely temporary, I generally start it out as a Lenten, rather than a New Year's resolution. There are several advantages in this custom of mine. In the first place, the usual resolutions of self-denial are made to serve a religious purpose as well as a personal one. In. the second place, it is a great deal easier for me to exercise self-control, if I am looking forward to only forty days of it, instead of a Whole year or more. When I am tempted to break over, I say to myself, Come now, it won't be for long. Just hang on a little longer. Think how proud you'll be after you've shown that you're the master of yourself. And every time I resist, it's a little easier to do than it was the last time, and after a while it really isn't hard at all anymore. In some cases, I get to the point where I actu- ally enjoy depriving myself of things. I have an exalted, martyr-like feel- ing. I wave aside temptation with a noble gesture and from my height, I smile with pity and contempt upon the weakness of other mortals. For the momentary pleasures that I miss in thus denying myself, I am amply repaid by the feeling of self-confidence and satisfaction, and consciousness of moral strength. And if there is no need of my continuing to keep a resolution after the assigned period is over, I can again indulge myself with added enjoyment, knowlng that I do it of my own free will and choice, and that no weakness is governing me. On the other hand, if I see the advantage of making any resolution permanent, it has generally, by the end of Lent, bcome so easy to keep, that I am quite contented to extend it throughout the rest of the year, or even longer. This is my method, and it has always held good for meg make it a temporary proposition, when you want to learn to do without something. After you've given it up for a while you'll nearly always find you don't particularly care for it any more. But if you still want it very much, after the time is up you can go back to it again without losing any self-respect as you would if you should break a permanent resolution. KATHARINE BANNON, 1923 I 63 l TOP-KNOT Columbus School for Girls The Milk of Human Kindness ISS Mary Smith, a maiden lady of my acquaintance, has an extremely strong sense of duty. In fact, this trait overshadows all other characteristics which might make her a delightful person. There has never been a Christmas that she has not given money for char- itable purposes or lent her car to carry! cheery and warm things to the needy. But does she feel a thrill of pleasure when she picks out a warm muffler and tam-o-shanter for a little orphan, or when she puts a steaming fowl into a basket that is to be carried to the unfortunate family on the west side ofthe railroad tracks? I doubt it. And if this feeling comes to her heart, she takes pride in not showing it. She always wears a martyred mien when speaking of our duty to the less fortunate. Don't imagine for a moment that I think Miss Mary should not give her time and money to make others happy. She has the milk of human kindness, but it is skimmed. She has not the rich, yellow cream of love. Is it the gifts that I receive at Christmas and on my, birthday, that make me happy? True, there is pleasure in receiving a pair of dainty boudoir lamps' for my dressing table, or some gray silk hose that exactly match the collar of my. blue taffeta dress. But greater still is the happi- ness I feel when I think of the love that comes with these gifts. I think more of the little hand-painted birthday card showing the painstaking thought and love of a friend, than the elaborate ivory hair-receiver from a girl who, I am sure, had the gift selected for her at the eleventh hour. Why? Because there is the assurance of true friendship in' the first. I know this by its individual hand painting and signature in my friend's own writing. In the billows of white tissue paper covering the second gift, I find an engraved calling card. Somehow, there is something so impersonal and wholesale about a calling card. I like to feel that I am receiving some- thing meant fon me alone. Who feels that intangible something glowing within him when he is handed a creamy chocolate pie accompanied by a glum, dutiful expression that he feels when someone with a smiling face and a cheery word gives him a piece of dry bread? ' The gift or deed, in itself, is the skimmed milk. The good-will and friendship is the cream of human kindness. We do not want the cream alone, for who likes the effusive, beaming person who talks much and l64l TOP-KNOT Columbus School for Girls accomplishes nothing? Nor do we wish the blue, watery milk alone-an action done as a cold, impersonal thing. We desire, as a happy medium, the whole, sweet milk of human kindness. JEAN K. MCCAMPBELL, 1924. The Road The long white road winds on and on, It has no end. I trudge my lonely way along, No help I lend. I do not see the valley fair That I trudge through 5 do not love the sparkling air, Nor sky so blue. I My load is heavy, and I walk Eyes on the ground, The whispering trees around me talk, I hear no sound. A tattered beggar from me asks, With outstretched hand, For the meagre gain of all my tasksg 'Tis his demand. His eyes beseech me, and I give My little store 3 'Tis all I have, and yet I live Happier than before. M. B.

E651 TOP-KNOT Columbus School for Girls Rosalie Finds a Way WITH APOLOGIES T0 THE WOMAN'S INSTITUTE VEN yet, Rosalie could not believe it. A few months ago she had been in a country school, attending about three days out of five, and now she was a pupil in the Columbia School for Girls. This good luck had come to her because she had misspelled so many words in a spell- ing contest. Her parents had decided that something must be done, so they sent her to a school famed for the training of good spellers. Rosalie was immensely popular when she first came. She was made secretary of her class, and everyone admired her greatly in spite of her incorrect spelling. The minutes of the class meetings had to be gone over to see that there were no misspelled words, but since the class appointed a girl to fill this oflice, it caused no great inconvenience. It seemed strange that Mary Kathryn Canton, the best speller and most brilliant student in the school, should become Rosalie's bosom friend, and that Carrie Carlist, Helen McKay, and Louise Ackerman, who were all extraordinary scholars and spellers, should be among her coterie of intimate friends. Her popularity might be explained by her pleasing appearance. She was slender and of medium height. Her narrow face and high cheek-bonesij combined with the rich brown eyes which were slightly slanted, gave her an appearance that was different and attractive. Again, it might be due to the attributes of her character. She was nice to every one, she was a good sport, she was square and loyal, and she seemed to have all the desirable qualities of a fellow classmate. But th-ere was a fiy in the ointment. Rosalie was not a good student. She spent just as much time on her studies as her friends did, but she never seemed to get her work quite finished. She might read her history over several times, and even spend an hour on her work, but invariably, when she came to class, she did not know her lesson. Consequently she got low marks, and usually she had to come on Saturday morning to make up her work. One day Mary Kathryn asked her to go on a week-end motoring trip with the Canton family. Rosalie was very much excited and planned her wardrobe with the greatest care. Imagine her dismay when she was given a little slip by a teacher telling her that she was behind in her English and must come the following Saturday to make it up. Rosalie told the teacher E661 ATOP-KNOT Columbus School for Girls her story and asked to be excused, but she was informed that school came before pleasure and she must appear on Saturday. Rosalie dreaded telling Mary Kathryn about the calamity, and when she did, Mary Kathryn looked at her in astonishment. You don't mean to say that you are behind in your English? Why, Rosalie, you study it the same period I do and I'm not behind. Surely there's some mistake. No, there's no mistake. I just don't seem to accomplish so much as you do in your study periods. Oh, I do wish I could go. I've been looking forward to it so much. I'm awfully sorry, too, Rosalie. I want you to go. But I suppose it can't be helped. With these words the matter was seemingly4 dismissed. But later Rosalie felt a change in the attitude of her friends. They went horse-back riding on Saturday mornings and did not ask her to go, they went on all-day picnicsg and they went on a week-end house party at the McKay summer cottage to which Rosalie was not invited. Rosalie pretended ignorance of their neglect, but one day she broke down. She thought she had gone through the week without getting behind in her work, and on Friday afternoon she was very light-hearted and happy thinking of the delights of lying in bed on Saturday morning. It was the last five minutes of the day, and she could scarcely! contain her eagerness. She heard a soft voice in her ear and she saw her English teacher standing beside her. She stood up, her knees trembling. Rosalie, I just found a theme of yours that has not been rewritten, and I am afraid you will have to come tomorrow morning. I am sorry. Rosalie nodded, speechless. Then the dismissal bell rang and the girls dashed from the room. When they had all gone, Rosalie could con- tain herself no longer, she burst into sobs -great heaving sobs that ex- hausted her. She was unconscious of anyone's entering the room until she felt a gentle tap on her shoulder. Rosalie, what is the matter ? She looked up. It was Mary Kathryn. Between her sobs, Rosalie told the story of the wasted time spent on her lessons and finally of the apparent neglect of her friends. Why, Rosalie, we thought that you did not like us after you refused so many invitations. Why did not you ask me before? and Mary Kathryn, E671 TOP-KNOT Columbus School for Girls instead of making remarks about inferior mentality, proffered her plan to overcome the waste of time in studying. From then on the change' in Rosalie's studies was gradual but notice- able. It was not so noticeable, however, that everyone was not surprised at the announcement in chapel one morning that Rosalie Whitredge had given the Whfce team thirty points because she had got all A's on her monthly report.. The gathering was stunned for a moment, but when it came, the applause was terrific, and she was called upon to make a speech. When, after repeated requests, Rosalie went up on to the platform, the audience became silent and listened attentively. Rosalie began at once. I know the burning question in all your minds is, how did I do it? After I had been in the school awhile, I was very unhappy. All my friends got such wonderful grades and I felt so ashamed of myself. But I just could not seem to get better grades. Finally, Mary Kathryn told me of a plan by which a great many people she knew had become good students. I was rather doubtful at first, but I decided to try it, and to it alone does the White team owe its thirty points. There is a little book called How to Study Effectively, and it is! the secret of my grades. The book costs only sixty cents, and the bus fare you will save by not coming on Saturday morning will soon pay for it. I am sure you will find that at the end of a week you will be getting B grades, at the end of a month A grades, and besides you will be getting more time to devote to outside interests. Rosalie paused as the whole school stood up and enthusiastically cheered her. When they had finished, she said, I thank you very much. You don't know how I appreciate this, although you ought to cheer the little book instead of me. You and I both will always be grateful to H ow to Study E jfectively because it opens up a new life. MILDRED PARKER, 1924 B. P. Qin physicsj : My father has a Delco plant. Stupid Classmate: Oh, is that anything like a cactus? E681 TOP-KN01' Columbus School for Girls The Dalton Plan ' NOTHER new plan has come to bless our departing days. It has come with a blare of trumpets and a roll of drums. It has come with the determination to stay. It is an excellent plan. The type of student it shall turn out will be efficient, reliable, and independent. She shall not rest her burden on a teacher. She shall not go forth into the world unarmed. But what has it done to us! It has given us the feeling of a patch- work quilt. We started and almost finished school, learning only what we were told to. Now when the goal is at last in sight, the rules are changed. We learn what we wish. We have no teacher to rely upon. We are allowed to plunge alone. It was fine at first. It was wonderful to go to class without a lesson prepared and to know we would not be called on to recite. It was pure joy to do no home work, and have no class to laugh at mistakes. It went well for a week, but we are creatures of habit and the habit of reciting soon returned to us and to the teachers. They were accustomed to have us lean on them and they missed us. Sometimes we remember and Daltonize for a day or two, but we soon slip back again. It has been going on now for two months. We are becoming nervous wrecks. The suspense of not knowing when to expect a recitation and when to expect Dalton is wearing on us. We fear few of us will survive for graduation. The Dalton plan will be supreme for the coming genera- tions, but it is hard on the seniors. JEAN KIRKPATRICK, 1923 If Only Helen Jones weren't so noisy. Mademoiselle could talk loudly enough to be heard. Miss Blake didn't terrify us so! Betty Lamb were less bashful. Mary Sackett would reduce. Rhea Lou took a little interest in the Seniors. Miss Holland would criticize our themes so that we would have no delu- sions as to our genius for writing. E691 TOP-KNOT Columbus School for Gwls Victory I have won my fight, But what have I gained?

' ,dl 1 Ab' Q EI -- ' 33 ' u ' Extracts from Betty Leek Diary TUESDAY, SEPT. 20TH I'm not the least bit homesick, tonight. I was afraid I might be- but who could pine when there are so many nice people here. I felt so insignificant when Mother and I went up the front steps to the school. There were so many girls. And the teachers were all in black robes. I felt better when we were taken over to the Lodge. I'll never forget it. E711 TOP-KNOT Columbus School for Girls There were girls everywhere. I don't think I'll ever know half of them. Several were so nice to us and insisted on carrying my suit case to my room. After Mother had talked a long time to one of the teachers she said she had to go. I had the awfullest, sinkingest feeling. To be'left alone without knowing a single person! I didn't cry, I'm glad of that, 'cause after Mother had gone my roommate said she hated homesick people. It's almost nine-thirty so I must get to bed. My roommate, who is an old girl, told me, Get to bed every night on time for awhile and you'll get a drag with the chaperon on our floor. I wonder? SUNDAY, SEPT. 24TH I thought all the girls had come, but some more came today. They're all old girls and act so terribly grown up-I guess they're seniors. They kind of scare meg when I met them, they all said, Oh, yes, you're another new girl-from Bucyrus ? But one of them talked to me quite awhile and told me she! knew some people there but couldn't remember their names. I like the Lodge. I think our rooms are fascinating. I asked Mother once why she was sending me away to school. She answered, To learn enough to go to college, and to appreciate home. I don't know what she meant by appreciating home. At present I'm appreciating school. My roommate's awfully nice, but she knows so much. SATURDAY, OCT. 7TH Aren't people nice whenlyou know them! The old girls gave us a party tonight. Each old girl took a new girl and we had if cabaret dinner. All the tables in the dining room were put around the side and there was room in the center to dance. Every girl wore some kind of fancy costume. After dinner we had a party in Bryden Hall. We played lots of silly games, but it was more fun. We new girls will have to do a lot to give the old girls as good 21 party as they gave us. ' SUNDAY, OCT. 15TH I didn't get to bed on time last night, but then you see, I didn't have to. I'm still thrilled! The Dramatic Club had their try-outs. I was scared to death, but one of the seniors persuaded me to try out, so I did. Well, I got in! All the club members were in one of the studies and the secretary came after me. She looked so solemn, and all the other girls were so solemn that I felt sure I hadn't made it. Then the president began making a speech. I don't know much what she said, except that I was accepted. Just as the last bell rang and I was in my kimono an old D. C. M. came and said I was wanted downstairs. She hurried me down so E721 TOP-KN01' Columbus School for Girls quickly I didn't have time to think what was happening. We got to the basement door and as she opened it I burst in and saw the most wonderful sight. There were about six small tables set for four, with flowers on each table and marvelous food. And pinned on our place cards were real Dramatic Club pins. It made me feel so proud to wear one. I know the girls at home never dreamed I was so dramatic. Another thing I want is a school ring. They're so good looking and everybody notices them. SATURDAY, Nov. 4TH Our party at Groveporti to the old girls surely made a hit. We new ones all went out in the school bus early and fixed up the cottage to look like Hallowe'en. We had a lot of lighted pumpkins placed around. But outside we did the cooking. Aren't wienies good, though? All the old girls had an awful appetite for them. Besides wienies, we had bacon sand- wiches, olives, pickles and, as it was someone's birthday, a wonderful cake. We sat down around the wood fire and ate and told stories all evening. We had nothing but mattresses to sleep on, but with the blankets we had brought they were all we wanted. I didn't sleep very well because so many people liked to sing just when I was getting drowsy. We cooked our own breakfast and came back in the bus in time for lunch. It's awfully nice to feel clean again. DECEMBER 20TH I've thrown the last thing' I can into my suit case, and I'm going to take time to write about our Christmas dinner. It's needless to say the dinner was extra good, but the best part of it all was Santa Claus. Janice pretended she wasn't feeling well and left after the third course and came back as Santa Claus. She gave the presents to the servants and then we all went to the Lodge for our tree. Every one got a 10c joke present. They surely were funny. I was embarrassed to death when I had to read my verse in front of Miss Gladden and every one. After the tree, Mrs. Gaines took us carolling around the neighborhood. I loved that. It was so much like the way we do at home. Oh! Just think, tomorrow at this time I shall be at home. It's going to be fun to go back for a long vacation after you've been away at school. You feel so changed. SATURDAY, JAN. 19TH I don't feel blue exactly, but I do hatd to see Miss Elwell go. No one dreamed she was going until last Sunday when she gave us that lovely tea party, and announced by those darling, little paper suit cases she was going. She'll have a wonderful trip, but we surely will miss her. We l'73l Top-Know T Columbus School for Girls wanted her to know it, so we tried to give her a nice party. Shakespeare QI mean his playsi was being played all weekg so we had to have our party after one of them tonight. We had good food, and several of us tried to sing songs and act crazy in general, but it wasn't so good. But we did give Miss Elwell a leather writing case, and we know she appreciated it just lots. Miss Hatheway's coming to take her place and, though we're going to miss Miss Elwell, we'll do our best to be good and make Miss Hatheway like us-and the Lodge. FRIDAY, FEB. 16TH Our Valentine party was so nice and different from the other parties we've had. We drew candy hearts with verses on them, and matched up the verses for partners. I mean that one person would get a verse saying, A stitch in time, and then would match it with the person's who said, saves nine. Then after we'd danced the Virginia Reel awhile we played creep-in-and-creep-out. That was a circus. One couple was td hide some place in the three fioors of the Lodge and all the lights were turned out. Then we all went to look for them, and the first! couple that found them was to hide in the same place until everyone had discovered them. No one found them and they said we all nearly touched them. You can't imagine how scarey it was in the pitch dark. Afterwards we ate confis- cated candy and, as the Bucyrus Inquirer would say, A sumptuous repast was served, and a fine time was had by all. I SATURDAY, APRIL 10TH At last after we worked so hard we gave the Mikado. We never dreamed that it could come of so well. The principals did their parts wonderfully, and the chorus added just lots. Afterwards we got Mrs. Gaines and had snap shots taken. I wanted to go away for tea so I rushed over to the Lodge to try to get rid of my mak.e-up. It wasn't so bad if you used cold cream. I heard that we made quite a bit of money. I do hope wa can use it for something nice that we need here. All the' heavy- weights want scales. SATURDAY, APRIL 28TH Isn't it grand that we could have this dance! I've been hearing about it all year and have naturally been looking forward to it. The music was marvelous and there were so many nice people there. Of course it seemed too short and I'm not a bit tired now that it's over. I feel as if I never would want to stop dancing. We've been discussing everybody's Hman. I'm sort of glad someone else invited a boy for me, because I'd hate to have E741 TOP-KNOT Columbus School for Girls my friends picked over the way we do. I think I hear Miss Chase coming! You know what my roommate told me about getting to bed on time for awhile? Well, I don't think it worksg I did at first, for about two weeks, and then the very first night I stayed up I got caught and got an awful calling down. Ever since they've had their eyes on me, and now, my - I won't gd on but maybe I'll learn the art some day. WEDNESDAY, MAY 16TH I can't realize that in a few short weeks we'll have exams and then - commencement! What will next year be without all the old seniors? It certainly makes me feel 1blue. lWe've all been so busy that we haven't noticed how quickly the time has gone. With school on week! days and expeditions in the bus on Saturdays, every minute flies by. I'm looking forward to next year when I will be an old girl andcan think of each new- comer as just another new girl. The Vic What's the sound that greets you when the morning bell's through ringing?

The admission was twenty-five cents. The play Was very nice. l77l TOP-KNOT Columbus School for Girls In the Gymnasium Meet, a silver cup was to be given to either the sevenths or eighths. We had a floor drill and a relay race, and even if the sevenths did win the relay race, we won the cup. The cup was kept in our room for a while, but now it is kept in the study room with the other cups. In February, the class decided to have spreads, voting that they should come the fourth Saturday in every month. We have a committee of six girls who attend to the supper, and also an entertainment committee. Everybody enjoys the spreads, and We can hardly Wait from one month, to the next for them to come.

At last the fatal day arrived, And the teacher blithely sped To the school, but never a girl appeared For they all had dropped down dead. ISABEL R. STAFFORD, 1924 E781 TOP-KNOT Columbus School for Girls Eighth Form Activities Class Officers J ANE VOORHEES - ------ President MARY JANE AULD - Vice President-Treasurer DOROTHY GRAY - - - - ---- Secretary HE elections took place with their usual excitement this year, and Jane Voorhees was elected presidentg Mary Jane Auld, vice-presi- dent and treasurer, and Dorothy Gray, secretary. These girls have made very responsible and reliable oiiicers, and we are all very glad they were elected. As last year's senior song was given to the seventh form, and as this plant was not in use the year before, the eighth form was rather left out of a song. But Miss Sheldon very kindly made up some words and set l79l TOP-KNOT Columbus School for Girls them to the music of an old melody, and it made a very pretty song. Although We haven't had much practice on it, we are still hoping to win the five dollars in the song competition. V This year the class bought a Memory Book: The covers are green with gold letters on them, green and gold being the class colors. We haven't used it much except for reports of some class affairs and for all the girls' pictures. At Christmas time Mrs. McClure asked the eighth form to give a play called What Makes Christmas, Christmas, at the Christmas dinner. It was a play of Mrs. McClure's own composition, and we felt it a great honor to be asked to give it. From all we have heard, the play was much enjoyed by everybody, and we certainly enjoyed giving it. Our class usually takes a poor family to help along at Christmas time, but this year, instead of taking one, We took two. The girls were divided into two sides, and there was much enthusiasm and rivalry between them. We took the families their Christmas dinner, some clothing and, because there were many small children, we took a Christmas tree with all sorts of trimmings, and also many toys. Since there was some money left from our Charity Fund of last year, we decided to send it to the Oak Street Day Nursery to buy milk. We had heard that they were in need of money, and they seemed very grateful to us. C. S. G.

All day the snip snip of scissors and the bang of the hammer in Bryden Hall gave evidence that the process of decorating was busily going on inside. But by seven-thirty everything was finished. The party started with dancing in Parsons Place. Excellent music was furnished by the Senior Orchestra. At about eight o'clock, everyone went downstairs. The first thing that met their eyes was a sign beauti- Z.. f nl, I: 81 :I ' A1 4 D1 , L44 'M.,- M -' N 1 1' I ' , Q 1141, g 'J' I '4Qf4fu4.1A,-1 'nl4.l5' fl -14.11-4 , IQL1, . -AAL' M 1, - fLfL1 'rulfl' 'V tu .41 ',, L W ,I Y f --, ,Z 'Y ,N , 7,4 ' ' ' A 1 fL .4-' f 'fc'-I -f 4 t, ,-, .' 4 4 ,J 1 -me Q, 1 2 ., f - , of , .

A bit farther, they came to another one hung beside an old lantern, it said Fairview Inn. What was their astonishment when they entered Bryden Hall itself to find that it had been transformed into az most realistic German inn. White paper curtains hung at the windows, and cheery geraniums were placedg on the sills. Steins and various other German articles col- lected from freshman attics were arranged around the room. In one corner was a cozy fire-place with a couch in front of it, and on a table behind the couch were real German newspapers. Just as the guests had finished looking at all this, Mary Jeffrey came out and made a little speech. In it she explained that some of the guests had prepared a little play, entitled The Far-away Princess, for our entertainment. The cast was as follows: Princess von Geldern .........................., .. .......... Anne Lupher Baroness von Brook ............. ....... J ane Pirrung Frau von Halldorf ......... ........ H elen Howard ' Liddy ........................... ............... A dele Sweet Milly ......................... ......... P hyllis Johnson Fritz Striibel ............... ........ F lorence Parker Frau Lindemann ........ ......... P hyllis Krumm Rosa ......................... ........... E lise Hoster Lackey ......................................... ....................... L ucy Joyce Then the curtains were pulled back and the play began. It was delightfully done, although there was, perhaps, need of a bit too much prompting. This latter, however, was probably due to the short time devoted to the preparation of the play. The cast was excellently chosen. Who could wish for a more ideal princess than Anne Lupher? The part of the jolly young student was most convincingly played by Florence Parker. After the play Gwendolyn Holcomb sang several lovely songs, and then refreshments were served. Waitresses, dressed in peasant costume, poured ginger-ale into steins and then passed it around with rye bread ham sandwiches and hard candies. At about nine everyone went upstairs to dance again, and the party ended a half hour later. Science teacher: Now in testing the effect of inoculations, they experiment on an animal similar to a human being-a rat, for instance. E821 TOP-KNOT Columbus School for Girls The Friday Night Dancing Club Soon after we returned from Christmas vacation, Miss Simonds came into the seventh form room and told us that she was starting' a dancing club. It was to meet every other Friday night for ten weeks. The boys were coming from the Academy and from Douglas School to join. On four of the evenings, there were plain dances, but on the fifth and last there was a masquerade. Of course we were all very much excited and arrived early. There were many costumes. Nobody knew who anybody else was, and there was a great deal of guessing as to who certain people were. At nine o'clock it was over. By this time all were unmasked. Everybody went home wishing the club was just beginning again. Q X I X?'Tlf'1L'Lvh-I X is-xff'f .5 if ? s 3' an if 'w l '5' 5- J 1: IX fa .1 , :lj ' 21- , .F I V lilllfifl !'

E lizabeth Wooden l84l X TOP-KNOT Columbus School for Girls All the actors acquitted themselves creditably, and after the play was over, the gathering adjourned to Parsons Place. There a small Christmas tree laden with presents for everyone, became the center of interest. Dancing and refreshments followed, and: as is too often the case, the girls had to go home before they were ready. It is greatly to be regretted that not everyone was able to enjoy the jokes and characterizations offered during the evening by our president, Virginia Colgan. Among her other- , - accomplishments, Virginia can speak Italian fluently and can imitate a Q1rv-r-sg cheap victrola record to perfection. At our class luncheon each teacher was presented with a small, appro- priate gift. One of the 'features of interest was a Matrimonial Ther- mometer received by Miss Groce. This passed up and down the table during the entire time, since everyone, teachers and girls alike, was anxious to test its powers. Each teacher made a short, impromptui speech after the meal. The food was delicious and the decorations lovely. The whole affair was a great succness. j ' -- - XX - 1 Quads C 23595555 Q' pgs lg, -,,, ' Wil Q, 'Tg.,. . Q' ' W? 00140 47 QL g ,.

The reception com- mittee received the faculty and girls very graciously, asking only fifty cents in return. The refreshment committee served hot chocolate with whipped cream, and several kinds' of sandwiches. The music furnished by Mrs. Owen was excellent. This afternoon party netted the junior class 320. The second time, the juniors branched out in a different direction, and again showed themselves capable, by giving a party to the senior class. A E86l TOP-KNO1' Columbus School for Girls play entitled The Other One, taken from a collection of Harvard Work- shop Plays, was presented by Gail DeHart, Ruth Vg Heer, and Dorothy E. Jones. Everyone agreed that the play was creditably' done. The girls, ably assisted by Miss Holland, showed decided talent. , ' I was walking down High Street, when a little ra oy, selling' gum, came up to me.

Festoons of purple and gold hung everywhereg the lights were shaded, and the curtains carefully drawn across the stage suggested something mysterious. All this decoration was for the Class of Twenty-four, in whose honor the seniors were entertaining. When the girls began to arrive, they were told to go upstairs, as dancing was first on the program. Very soon the play was announced, and everyone trooped down to Bryden Hall in eager anticipation. The seniors presented a very amusing comedy, Suppressed Desires, one of the Prov- incetown plays. It was built around the popular theory of psycho-analysis, and the ridiculous side of complexes and sub-conscious minds was brought out in a very entertaining way. The cast was: Stephen Brewster ................................ Catherine Hamilton Henrietta Brewster ........ ........ M ary Morehouse Mabel ................................................................ Janice Rugg After the play, refreshments were served and there was more danc- ing. The festivities closed with school songs and cheers as the Class of Twenty-three reluctagy ended their very last party in the school.

For a dime they'll close your windows, For a dime they'l1 make your bedg For a dime they'll do your mending, Or willingly wash your head. For two nickels they'll clean your locker, For two nickels they'l1 shine your shoes, For two nickels they ll run an errand, Or find anything that you lose. For ten pennies they'l1 mark your papers, For ten pennies they'1l teach your class, For ten pennies they'll play in chapel, Or harangue the lowly mass. So take notice, O Girls and Teachers, And your pennies start to keep, For that day of days will soon be here, When you'll surely need a heap. J EAN KIRKPATRICK, 1923 Senior Day RIDAY, April 6, 1923, will go down in the archives of this school as a great day, technically known as Senior Day. Senior Day was conceived of in a moment of enthusiasm, most interesting plans were made for it, it arrived and expired enthusiastically. Its reason for being was, of course, as the public was frankly given to know, as pressing need for funds in the senior class. I am not in position to tell to how great an extent the class profited in a monetary way, as I am writing t 's on Sunday evening, and nderstand that the tas cou ' the filth y wx W of fi TOP-KNOT Columbus School for Girls has not yet been completed. It is my purpose, however, to call your atten- tion to the other benefits reaped by not only the senior class, but the whole school, including the faculty, the oflice force, and--well-everybody in general. Let us begin with chapel. This very important part of the day's routine was very efficiently and quietly conducted by members of the senior class. Everyone who was present was struck by the ease with which the pseudo Mrs. McClure disposed of the business in hand, by the excellent home talent which replaced Mr. Hoenig's services, Miss Carey's almost identical understudy, and last, but, I should say most praiseworthy, the dignified and stately manner in which the flags were carried. The writer modestly acknowledges himself the bearer of the American flag. Then, in many of the classes, seniors assumed the garment of authority, the black gown, and competent as they proved to be, dispensed with the three R's, and the necessary discipline this entailed, with self- assurance and ease, for the most part, equal to that of pedagogues of wide experienceg and I am sure it gave each of those seniors ai new viewpoint in regard to the class-room. From now on she will be better able to look at matters from the other side. of the desk, as it were, and to put herself in her teacher's place, in times of controversy. I, myself, learned a great deal by teaching a class. I understand now, how annoying it is to have people sitting on the back row, reading novels out of sight of the teacher's eyes, as they suppose, and to be conscious of a persistent buzzing in the region of two or three irrepressible young things, throughout the hour, broken only by a moment now or then, when their conversation is rudely interrupted by a reprimand, and they pause for an automatic, sweet, peni- tent, Pm sorry, after which they immediately resume their chat. It's maddening! Also I know how irritated a teacher feels when she calls on certain people time after time, and they emit a stupid, I don't remember, or, still worse, make up an impossible answer which is an insult to a teacher's intellect. 0n the other hand, it's a joy to call on people and hear them reel off, trippingly on the tongue, the precise answer to the question asked, in approximately the very Words of the book. I understand now the way some people have come by their wonderful reputations. In some classes the teachers- were not present at all-only the make- shifts. These teachers missed a lot. Of course they paid their substitute a dime, and were absolved thereby from any responsibility, but I think they would have more than got their money's worth, had they attended f1041 TOP-KNOT Columbus School for Girls class, remaining quietly in the back of the room, or better, as some did, sitting among the common herd of overworked scholars, subject to all the vic1ss1tudes appertaining thereunto. Then they would have realized how miserable one of us-speaking as a student--feels when we are picked on by the teacher, how We hate to have our shortcomings rubbed in, even when we know the rubbing is all for our own good, and so on. Then! as for the lesser benefits of Senior Day. It was great fun, at least for the seniors, and a moderate amount of fun is good for the dispo- sition. The fair held after school was very nice, for those who spent their money as well as those who took it in. There was entertainment afforded, at a nominal fee, to suit all tastes, and a good time was had by' all.

Dear Becky: It was a terrible disappointment, wasn't it, that we cou1dn't have our reunion this year? I've been trying to get a little comfort and satisfaction by looking up all the members of the class, and finding out what's happened to them during these ten years. And I notice that very few of them would have prophesied, back in nineteen twenty-three, what they are doing now. Of course, you are teaching gym at C. S. G., just as you expected to doj but here am I, K. Bannon,playing Shakespearean roles, and the most famous Lady Macbeth of the age. Georgia Finckel is running a day nursery, and Marian Seymour is president of a ladies' aid society. Imogene Atcheson is making a name for herself, as a lawyer of elo- quence and persuasiveness. Helen Jones and Jean Kirkpatrick are both! in. Chicago, Helen dancing in a cabaret, and Jean business manager of Sears Roebuck Company. It amused me quite a little to learn that Frances Ackland is owner of the Pink Top Taxi Company, and that Julia Sturtevant is running a hot dog and soft drink counter on the Atlantic-Pacific highway. Carolina Bilikam is librarian at the Congressional Library in Wash- ington, D. C. I heard Harriet Gaines play at the Grand Opera House last week. They say she's a formidable rival of Jascha Heifetz. Sarahi Anderson is winning laurels in the musical line, too. She's a prima donna in the Metropolitan Opera Company. But isn't it too bad about Mary Balentine? I went to visit her at the insane asylum the other day. The poor dear was wearing herself out, pounding on a table with a hammer. For a long time I've been intending to stop in at the Ritz to see Mildred Parker. She's head chef there, you know. I'm going to Greenwich Village to call on Vera Halliday and Audrey Sweet, too. They're indulging in art and poetic inspirations, respectively, just as they used to in the old days. fioej TOP-KNOT Columbus School for Girls Mary Morehead is at the Hippodrome this week, interpreting Oriental dances, and' Clara Phelps's latest motion picture, The Flame of Passion, is at the Riviera now. I got a letter from Janice Rugg this! morning. Her eiforts seem to be concentrated on engineering Woodbridges. She tells me that Bunny Jones is touring the country, lecturingon education for young women. Several of her theories have been thoroughly discussed by Martha Hale in the Atlantic Monthly, and by Helen McCray, who is editor of the New York Times. Catherine Hamilton is in vaudeville, doing a double shuffle in a minstrel show, and Martha Schenck is a pickaninny in the same troupe. Della Moore is advertising a brand new brand of complexion cream, and Katherine Kittle is proprietor of an exclusive beauty parlor, special- izing in permanents and bleaches. I saw in the newspaper a few days ago that Mrs. Howard Moore, nee Margaret Bell, is visiting her sister, Mrs. Chuck Moore, in Manila. Dorotha Blackburn is playing the lead in very' successful musical comedy at! the Shubert. Sarah Hervey and Lucile Winegarner are the heads of prosperous and well-conducted households in a little town back in Ohio. Aleta Jones is an eminent psychologist, doing research work, with the assistance of Thelma Hughes, the famous spiritualist and medium. Mary Matthias is very prominent in Y. W. C.. A. work, and Virginie Swinehart is rivalling Billy Sunday in the evangelistic line. Jane Marsh is conducting 'a schooD for ballroom dancing, and she frequently employs the services of Marlowe Matt, who is Paul Whiteman's assistant. I have heard that Mary Morehouse is a prominent politician, and that she intends to run for Governor next year. And just think how many of the girls are back again at C.. S. G. There's Amorette Lott, teaching vocalg Betty Price, Mademoiselle's assistantg Mary Belle Pumphrey, head of the English Department, and Elizabeth Roth, teaching art. ' I suppose you see Cootie Rutherford quite frequently, too, since she's the Miss America of nineteen thirty-three. Tell them all hello for me.
