We have nothing now to fear, For life ' s roses bloom In happy college days. Banded to-day In love we are; Sadly at last we ' ll part. Love, with a kind and holy hand, Locks memories in each heart. In the coming days of lite. If earth ' s sorrows dim the light. Let us all these memories keep. May no tears of vain regret Hide fair visions from our sight. While the notes of joy through every heart shall sweep Banded at last In love we ' ll die. Though we be tar apart. Love, with a kind and holy hand. Locks memories in my heart.

History of Senior Class  S IT would not do for me to tnist my o m memory in calling up the wonderful events which constitute the history of the Class of 1906, I decided to give the experience of each girl as I found it recorded in a notebook left open on ray desk for that purpose. The first one was our President. At home lier name is Clyde Thomas, but here it is Coz. This is what she wrote: When I first came to Davenport, my one great amliition was to Ijccome an English teacher. I cast my lot with the Sophomores, among whom there were only five or six of our present class, and went to work thinking ' original thoughts ' and writing descriptions of ' my ideal sweetheart. ' I was working hard and advancing rapidly until one day when our English teacher gave the Sophomore papers to the Juniors and asked them to correct them. I won ' t burden you with an account of that gloomy time. T shall simply say that since then I have turned my attention to Latin — and ' Hun. ' I am galloping along at full speed and leaving all the oth- ers — except ' Hun. ' — out of sight. I could call up many interesting tilings that have happened here, but I must leave space on this page for ' Hun. ' Of course Hun. (her company name is Helen Allison) came next. There could be no room for any one else to come between. Her story runneth thus : I haven ' t room to write much ; but if you know the la.st two years of Clyde ' s experience here, you know- mine. I came to Davenport last year and entered the Junior Class, determined to get as much out of it as I could. I got ' Coz., ' and I am very well satisfied. I don ' t think I could manage any more very easily. Next came Annie Nolley, the youngest of the class. She says: There are a great many things that have happened since I entered Davenport as a Sophomore that I might record ; but I think the most important is my learning during the first two years that ' there is always room at the front, ' especially in the study hall. I owe Miss Parker many thanks for teaching me. I even advanced so far to the front one day as to take her place. On the next page there was some writing that looked very interesting- — I mean it would have been interesting to one who is fond 21 of shid3ang curiosities. I knew at once that it was Margaret JJewell ' s But 1 had to excuse the had writing, because she had just recently bought a pair of nose glasses, and, of course, she couldn ' t help it. But if I couldn ' t read the writing, I could at least read between the lines. I saw there that Margaret had never regretted tliat she came to Davenport three years ago, even if she had never had a greater pleasure than that gained from springing all kinds of questions on the teachers, on all classes, and at the most unex- pected places. Her chief delight in her Senior work seemed to have been to debate psychological and ethical questions with the class, and even with Dr. Weaver. She failed to say how she always came out. The writer who followed JIargarot was Esther Brown. Of couise we always listen willingly to those who have had wide experi- ence — at least who have had time for it. Here is what she says : Do not think I am vain when I tell you that when I came to Davenport in 1904, everybody thought I was one of the faculty. I hesitated about telling them all Ijetter, because I really enjoyed it; but at last I had to give it up and take upon me the appearance — as much as I could — of a simple schoolgirl. After I once became used to it, it was all very easy; and this year I have had to associate with Ethel almost constantly in order to keep before my mind the fact that I belonged to an important part of Davenport — the Senior Class — else I might have given the impression to those not well acquainted with me that I was a Freshman. Of course Ethel followed Esther. This is what she said : You may judge how I started out with my work in my Sophomore year from the fact that the first day I came to school Miss Parker thought I was a visitor. I kept pulling, however; and by the time I was a Senior, I had enough energy to pull against the whole class and at last have my way. How I rejoiced when the class decided to get pins instead of rings 1 I don ' t know of anrthing else that I remember with more pleasure. When I came to the next, I was not greatly surprised to see that, instead of Helen Shell ' s clear, steady handwriting, the letters were all twisted and turned in every direction. I knew she had not fully recovered from the terrible shock she had received upon the announcement that the class would get pins. She and Ethel had gone through a long struggle. No wonder her writing was uot plain. Here, however, is what I managed to make out of it : If you want to know when I started to school at Davenport, you will have to search the old registers for not more than ten years back. I don ' t believe I could call up the date for you without a great deal of trouble. I have been studying here longer than most of the other members of the class, but I can assure you that I have never spent a more pleasant year than this last one. Why, when I think of all those formulas in Trigonometry and all that Horace and scanning in Virgil, I think — well, I wonder if there will ever be another one like it. I can just see Stella Owenby coming in, as if she intended to go all the way in one day, and bouncing up to the desk. There, after she puts down two or three ledgers and some other articles, she goes to work in her usual businesslike manner, and this is the result : I came to Davenport in 1903, and entered a class then known as the jealous enemy of the Juniors and the greatly-to-be- feared superior (in its own estimation) of the Freshmen, but now recognized as the friend of all classes, conditions, and sizes of girls who will render homage to it. We certainly thought when we were Juniors that we should deserve all the Senior honors or privileges that might be bestowed upon us, especially after that reception we gave the graduating class last year. Although there was no noticeable increase in our pompadours, yet we thought we had done something truly wonderful for so young a class. But that has all faded away into insignificance since we have found this year how much greater things we can do — how many e.xamina- tions we can stand and what good essays we can write on psychological subjects. Do you see how loyal Stella is to the class? She counts its history liers, and does not give an account of her individual experience. But you may know that she has taken an active part, especially in examinations. The next one was Dora Tuttle, who goes home every Saturday — whether to see mamma and papa or to get fresh inspiration for the new week, we do not know. She says: I have followed this class from Freshman to Senior, and I must say that the most delight- ful and pleasing events have been the class socials, which have always happened on Saturday night. The others have given such glowing accounts of them that I feel that I have not missed much — I mean that 1 have received the benefit from them through the rest of the class. Dora was foHowed by Henrietta Montgomery, the demure and dignified. She had to come from her home in town, and was a little late. Being naturally silent, and also out of breath from walking up the hill so hurriedly, she did not write much. She says : During all the time I have spent in school at Davenport I have found only one thing that I like better than studying, and that is sitting in the study hall during all those long periods in which I have no classes. So as 1 finished two or three of my Senior studies when I was a Junior, I have found this year very pleasant. Thus rnijs the history ' of our class as it now stands, but it must not close without a word in regard to another member of this year ' s class. On account of illness, Lucy Kankin had to return home and leave her studies. She was a good student, and was doing excellent work. Whatever may have been our record made here, or however little we may have done, we shall all go away with hearts full of love for Davenport and storing up tender memories of the many happy, busy days spent on this old college hill. It has been here that we have received the inspiration and training that will help us in the years to come. Edna Lee Holsolaw. 23 AFTER GRADUATION, WHAT? Prophecy of Senior Class HHE true prophet must know the facts of the past as well as tlie visions of the future, for by the past the future is known. To the seer the gold of the dawn foretells the purple robe that will enshroud the dying day. In a little while the prophet and those whom the prophecy most concerns drop behind tlie rim of the horizon, and prophecy becomes history. Wliile the burden is upon us, the lives of our classmates are all enrolled in the present, and it is given unto us to see the end of our days. Twelve disciples are to leave Davenport for the wide-open world and its work. The sadness of the past is made of its joys, and other days are full of hope. Cap and gown must now be laid away, to he succeeded by the conventional house dress girded with an apron string; curl papers will now be worn with impunity; the hair will be dressed in the lazy afternoon; the muses will hang their harps upon the willow trees that grow by the streams of forgetfulness. The classics may bawl their frenzied orations to the listeners of the long ago. We bid them all a long adieu. The fond hopes of great careers are buried beneath blurred daubs of paint down in the sepulcher of the art room. The funeral dirge is lieard in the recital to which you have turned the aching ear, and to-night old Anthony holds the cloak of his dead master before the howling mob, with no power to wake the Caesax that was stabbed by his friends. The wonderful power with which we are clothed for one short hour must give us — pause. Whatever is to be will be. Nemesis stands with dagger drawn to punish the impiety of those who disbelieve. Charity begins at home. So Miss Helen Eeid Shell is the first to project herself, like some blazing meteor, across the line of pro- phetic vision. From her reticent nature, we know she will fulfill her day.s as a trained angel of mercy in the hospital soon to be erected for the weary sons of rest. May she have more than a passing interest in this new sphere. Our baby shall be next — little Annie Pryor Nolley, the fairy of our class. To be or not to be an elocutionist must be decided in the affirmative. Through the classic shades of old Virginia, Melpomene will lead her on to gi ' eatness. Helen Coiner Allison shall just be plain little Hun. all the way. Her favorite songs will continue to be The Campbells are 25 Coming and Clj ' de is the One for Me. The far-away Moses of her snapping black eye will fix its steadfast gaze on a little cottage in the shadow of the dreamy pines, and there she shall sigh her sweet life away in perfect contentment and peace, divided with the only one. Esther Brown will not fulfill her purpose in being a prim old maid. Athene is leading her into the kingdom of thought, where she will preside with grace and dignity. Her deeds will blossom about her, and from around her quiet life there will spread a soft and steady light, kindled from on high, which shall make ever)- life it touches lovelier and holier: and at last we shall find inscribed nn her tablet in the hall of fame a record of works more marvelous than Pestalozzi ever made. Dora Elizabeth Tuttle ' s life must be deciphered from the favorite spelling book. Dnmi in the sylvan retreats of sequestered (iamewell a lovelorn swain awaits her coming. The spelling book will be exchanged for an ancient grammar, the pages of which ttill always open at the conjugation of the verb to love. Stella Naomi Owenby will finally center her affections on some Whistling Rufus, and tlien talk Buncombe for the remainder of her days. The hours of incessant labor over the books that would not keep have left but a shadow of her former self. She must exchange for some less arduous toil ; and if she attempts anything heavier than kitchen accounts, her doom is sealed. Henrietta Montgomery is the sphynx of unsolved rid dles, the unraveled mystery of Davenport. She never smiled again. Never again shall unsought opinions emanate from those rosy lips. No, my dear Henrietta, the mocking bird, gay king of songsters, walked through all the night without a single note until the cold, gray dawn, and then burst into wondrous song. We look forward to the day when love ' s young dream shall fiame in smiles upon her now unruflled cheek and Cupid ' s mightiest melodies will ring through the erstwhile silent chambers of her heart. In the sweet ' Fields of Granite Falls is enshrined the portrait of our poet. Miss Ethel Terrell. If he were the master critic, old Shakespeare ' s laurels would quickly fade. We see her going from peak to peak of the heights of song. Carolina is coming to her own. The limpid streams of old Caldwell will be as famous as the River Doon. Edna.Holsclaw, the Clio of our class, will be a maker of history instead of a writer of chronicles. Her guardian angel is leading her away from her cherished ambition to tell the story of the cross to regions beyond back to the shores of the beautiful Wa- tauga, and there, beginning at Jerusalem, she will take up her life work as assistant pastor among her own people. In the midst of this happy employment she will continue to win high honors, and, like a modern Ruth, will glean in the fields of her chosen Boaa, binding many precious sheaves for the Master ' s granary by the bands of her own sweet personality. 26 Clyde Thomas, who has presided so gracefully over the class, will continue to thrust her little inquisitive nose into all the mys- teries of life. Many hours of happy inquiry await her. Though these inquiries should lead her beyond the mountains of pleasure into the valley of sadness, her song goes on forever. Playing jokes with Time and Fate, the sour old world will take heart and laugh again because she has smiled into his careworn face. Around each festal board one empty chair awaits the return of some loved one who has gone away for a little while. A shadov falls across the printed page, a mist upon the hills, and books must be closed until some fairer day. Lucy Rankin, the friend of all, shall gather flowers everywhere, and the light of this world shall grant stronger visions than she yet has known. We would not close this prophecy without promising her many days of happiness, for God shall wipe away all tears from her eyes. And now my task is done. No prophet has been granted a message for herself. She sees her future through a glass darkly. But in after years it shall be face to face, and I shall know even as I am known. Then over on the eternal hills we shall gather, a reunited class, in the university where the Great Teacher shall lead both class and faculty into all truth. The stem hand of the present is drawing me back from the great future, but one message rings clear and strong from the profundity of the coming years : Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. And in his name we go, unafraid. Mabgabet Katherini Newell. ? V ' ( ' ' L- Junior Class Motto: FiVOEiTE GiMi: ■ ' Ecce Homo. Authors. Yell: Sopho., Sopho.! Pshaw, pshaw, pshaw! Juniors, Juniors!

History of Junior Class T IS universally known that every college is divided into four parts. My object is to give the history of the most famous, the third part, better known as the Junior Class. Of all the classes at Davenport, we consider ourselves the brave. t and Ijest. As for dignitv. we have not the least trouble along that line. The Seniors are widely known on account of their dignified air, and by an occasional reflection from them we receive all the dignity that is becoming to a Junior. However, it is hoped by some that as we grow older we will grow wiser. In our own minds we think that when Beowulf is mastered, many talks made on the English Class about our men, and Shake- speare ' s plays given verbatim, what more can be accomplished? Of course in the lexicon of the Juniors there is no such word as faU. Our Senior friends may doubt this statement if they happen to call to mind the morning of April 1. We did succeed in getting their robes ; but as Miss Parker thought us a little too young to make our debut, we decided not to wear them. Our hearts swell with pride when we realize that in a few more weeks our vicissitudes will be at an end. Then, after a vacation of three months, we shall return to take our places. After next September, should you be in Lenoir, you will see us in our garb of honor at the head of the line, with the Juniors and others bringing up the rear. Edna Hates.

History of Sophomore Class (iEN EI!AL tendency to exalt one ' s station is the common fault of all; l)ut when a class of twenty-three fairly bright girls liave reached the distinguished eminence of Sophomores (and brought thus far only by difficulties), the attainment is cer- tainly worth special prominence. Our true value can better be described than defined. Of course we are superior to the restricted Freshmen, and secretly wisli that they would never know that we, too, lived through the perplexities of the first year. But in social problems we feel free from the brutal coarseness we are believed to possess, and our girlish grace and artistic finish is entirely crushed by the plain, everyday .Junior.s, who hold .sway in the social circle, to the delight of Ur- diliiate, unerring po.ssessors of caps ami j owns. Their invitations to the frequent functions are written in prominent letters large enough for George III. to read without spectacles: and then for them to frankly declare that they really intended these affairs to he quiet and unpretentious is enough to make even aspir- ing Sophomores waver in their allegiance to college life, for we are not unsocial by nntiire or by rho ' u-e. x ssurance lies, however, in the fact tliat although our field is very limited, yet within its limits we reign supreme; and at the approach of the successive year we cast a reluctant glance toward this passing one, which proved our astonishing skill in learning to be patient. True to our class and colors and with a loving tribute to her memory, we resign the year of endearments and difficulties to those who may follow, and offer our love as the keynote of their volume.

Prove that the triangle formed at the lowest corner of the campus between Kentwood path, tlie street along the foot of the hill forming a right angle with the path, and the driveway across the corner, is just as good a loafing place as the circle in front of the door. 2. How many angles floes Margaret make in the gesture of simple indication? 3. Prove that sight singing is equal to spelling.

His ears are semicircles, and for a dimple in his chin he has a circle. His shoulders are squared, and his body is a quadrilateral. One knee is an obtuse angle, and there is not a sign of auA ' thing that would soften his appearance. And now, dear Juniors, beware, for he runs counter-clockwise, making it almost impossible to dodge him, and he is a secant seeking female Trigonometric victims. By some who have proceeded to limits in the fields of Differential Calculus he has been called a loon.

Steele Leader Range Davenport During the War I ' ' HAVE been reviewing the happy days of this year, in which we have found so many pleasures to lighten our tasks and make the world seem brighter. Let us now look at Davenport in the early days — in the days of our mothers and g ' randmotliers. The college was built and owned by the South Carolina Conference. The main building was only two stories high, and there was a dormitory which occupied the space where our new chapel now stands. Mr. Henry M. Mood, of South Carolina, the first President, began teaching in 1858. Miss Emma Rankin was elected first music teacher. Miss Norwood, who was a girl then, studied art. The girls were mainly from South Carolina. Hickory was the nearest railroad station, and the girls came the rest of the way by private conveyance. Just think what a picnic they must have had rid- ing twenty-two miles through the country ! Mr. Mood was President until al ' ter tlie war began. He, being a South Carolinian, was strongly in favor of secession. Mr. Rankin, the Presbyterian minister of the town, was very much opposed to secession. It was customary to observe fast days and pray concerning the war. On these days Mr. Mood and i Ir. Rankin would go to their respective churches and pray against each other as hard as tliey could. This was ery amusing to the schoolgirls, and also to the to vnsfolk. In 18()3 Mr. Mood gave a dinner to the soldiers who were in town. The dinner was served on tlie campus, and was enjoved by all. After dinner, Miss Mattie Jones, one of the schoolgirls, presented a flag to the soldiers. Shortly afterwards Mr. Jlood resigned his presidency, and Mr. R. X. Price, of Tennessee, accepted the position. He was the father of our much-loved pastor. As he was very absent-minded, he caused the girls some anxiety in wondering if all men were like him in regard to thinking of their wives, as nearly every Sunday that year he strolled off to church and forgot his better half. In the early part of 18(13 there was no school. That summer Mr. A. G. Stacey was elected President. School opened and was soon flourishing again. The girls then enjoyed midnight feasts just as much as we do now. Once a crowd of them were pre- 63 paring for a feast. By some device they got a big, fat hen in their room ; and after they had killed it and cut it up, they washed it in strong, soapy water. You can imagine what kind of a feast they had. When we are chided for not knowing how to cook as our mothers did, it is cheering to call to mind such incidents as this. In those days school opened in March and closed in December. This was done so that the girls could have the advantage of being among the mountains during the summer. They took outings to Hibriten and enjoyed their school life very much. Six girls stayed in a room where only three or four now stay ; but two of them had to sleep in a little trundle bed, there being two ordinary beds and one trundle bed to a room. That left only one Ijed under which to hide if a teacher should knock on the door at certain times. During tlie war the girls wore homespun dresses, but Just after it closed they began wearing uniforms. These were brown, trimmed with black velvet ribbon. With this was worn a white .• traw hat; and as to jewelry, an old catalogue says: A simple breastpin may he worn; no other jewelry will be allowed at any time. We are glad this is not one of Dr. Weaver ' s regulations, for we would miss our lockets containing our fathers and mothers ' pictures. Once the music class became too large for one teacher, but the President did not want to elect another. He asked the teacher, who was already teaching eleven hours a day, if she could not teach more. Upon a reply in the negative, he crabbedly asked why he could not place another piano in the adjoining room and have her stand in the door and teach two lessons at one tune. Toward the close of the war the coiintry became insecure, as parties of Union men from Tennessee came through and destroyed much property. Mr. Stacey sent to Shelby to secure a building suitable for a school, as he thought the raiders would hardly go that far down. The building was secured, and the girls were moved. In a short while, about the time of the surrender. General Stoneman made a raid on Lenoir. The soldiers occupied the Episcopal Church and the church grounds. General Stoneman him- self was very considerate, but his men were not. A guard was about to be sent to the college; but when it was learned that the President and girls had gone, the building was plundered from top to bottom, and almost everything in it was carried off or de- stroyed. Floea Eutledge. The Seniors ' Royal Path of Life OR fear some of the Seniors will soon become lady principals, we Freshmen will give them just a word of advice as to the duties of a lady principal. To be sure, we are fresh and inexperienced; but, with all these disadvantages, we have excellent ideas about certain things. Article I. — If you meet a girl going to her room during study period, do not by any means ask her where she is going, for fear you will embarrass her. Article II. — Po not trouble yourself about going to the rooms to see if the girls are in and the lights are out. Stay in your room and rest after your day of hard work. You will save your strength and lengthen j ' our days by so doing. Article III. — Never compel girls to hand in their schedules, for this is fruitless labor on the girls ' part, and they might be study- ing while they are doing this. Article IV. — Grant all permissions. Never refuse a girl; it always hurts her feelings. Article V. — If you chance to catch a girl out of her room during study hour, console her by telling her that all young girls are likely to make mistakes. Article VI. — Allow your students to receive company. Associating with young men is very elevating. Article VII. — Permit the girls to talk and laugh as loud as tlioy wish at the table, as it is good for the digestion. Article VIII. — Allow them to parade on the front porch on rainy days, for damp air cures headache. Article IX. — Let them read their letters at the table, for it develops impatience to make them wait. Article X. — Allow your students to travel via front stairs, as the scener} ' is much more beautiful than that of the back stairs. Now, if you Seniors abide by these articles which we have so kindly laid down, we are quite sure you will become successftd and popular lady principals.

Annie: Well, she needn ' t look at us in that tone of voice, for we ' ve been at the table only four minutes by the clock. Merely Cousins zDRED MALLOY was going back to Davenport, and Mac Hampton was going to the Weaver School. Tliev liad been traveling together all day, but they did not know eacli other. After four or five hours ' weary waiting in Hickory, the two boarded the same train for Lenoir. Mac sat right behind Mildred, but did not say anj-thing to her, as he was too tired — and, then, he was not much of a flirt, anyway. The train was crowded. When it reached Lenoir, Mildred and Mac took their suit eases and hurried out. In the rush tliev lost sight of each other. Mildred was the last girl to come back to school, and. of course, all the girls were delighted to see lier. She had ]iut a few edibles in her suit case. So she invited some of the girls to her room. She hurried upstairs to unpax k before the girls came. ' When she opened her suit case, the first thing that met her eyes was a new picture of one of her best girl friends, from Kentuckv. Next, some collars and cuffs and a white vest, etc. The suit case certainly did not belong to her. She caught her l)reath in aston- ishment and thought about calling the girls; but — ' o, she said to her.self. I ' ll just keep this a secret. If I find out whose suil case it is, I ' ll have .some fun. Just then the girls came crowding in, and Mildred shut the suit case and pushed it under the table. She was quick, and had a number of good excuses ready. After a short visit, the girls left — a disappointed set. Mac was a good boy, and was destined to become one of the most popular boys in school. He was rather shy, and had never been off to school before. He knew one boy in school, Jack Allison. Jack and Mac were the best of friends. That first night, after supper, Mac hurried to the room that had been assigned him. It did not take him long to unpack his trunk and tack up some pictures and get his room in fairly good order. Suddenly he remembered that Jennie Rogers, his cousin, had sent her picture by him to Jack. He was just ready to go for Jack, when in came that young gentleman himself, followed by a dozen or more boys, curious to see the new boi . Mac was perfectly cool and at his ease. He wa.s nice to tlie boys, and they began liking liim at once. Presently he said : ' Mack, I have something for you. Want it now ? Of course Jack did. Mae put his suit case on tlie bed and opened it. To hi.s utter amazement, instead of the picture he expected, there were hair rib- bons, a bo.x of talcum, hairpins, etc. Mac was dumfounded. What was he to do? He had not the remotest idea with whom he had exchanged suit cases. That suit ca.se was the topic of conversation for several days, but finally the talk about it subsided. One afternoon about two weeks later Jack came in Mac ' s room and said : ' Say, Mac, the Davenport girls give us a reception to- night. Want to go? Mac, brightening up, said : Well, gues-s I do. ' They went. Mac met Mildred. Mildred liked Mac veri much, Init lie was not much impressed with her. But she determined to make him like her at any venture. She talked with him ; and in the conversation Jennie Rogers ' name was mentioned, and Mil- dri ' d found out that Mac wrote to Jennie. She thought then she had a clew to the suit-case mystery, but kept quiet, and decided to watch him. As many girls do, she jumped to the conclusion that Mac and Jennie were engaged. Mac met a number of girls that night; and of all, he liked Bert Claywell the best. In fact, he fell in love with her that very night. She was a pretty, blue-eyed little trick, and was very entertaining. After this, Mildred watched Mac ' s cveij movement with reference to Bert. She was -o anxious to get material to write Jennie. Her highest ambition seemed to be to break up the engagement between Mac and Jennie — i. e., the imaginary engagement. After Mac had, for three months, paid Bert every attention the nUes of the school allowed, Mildred thought she had enough points to write Jennie a letter. She wrote everything she knew connected with tlie affair in any way, and, where it was necessary, made up some. She wrote how deceitful and mtrue JIac had been to her (Jennie), and everything else bad she could imagine. She waited impatiently for a reply. It came: Dear Miss Mallov: Mac Hampton is my first cousin. The picture which you found in his suit case was one I had sent to a schoolmate of his. I ' m sorry you have so misunderstood the boy. I know Mac is ali right. Sincerely, Jennie Rogers. This was so different from what she expected that she did not know what to say or do. Jennie also wrote Mac, tilling him where he could find his suit case. In the meantime, through JlildreJ ' s iniluence, Bert had heard many uncomplimentary remarks about Mac. She was worried sick. But when she heard about the suit-case affair, and how it had been cleared up, she understood everything. At the next re- ception she and Mac explained matters, and were better friends than ever.
