Senior Class P oem Who says that our work is over When our College days are through, With our girlhood days behind us- The bright days and the blue? VVho says our tasks are hnished, Before we yet have tested life? Can we bear the name of victors VVhen we have not met the strife? Today the gates will close behind usg VVe stand where the brook and river meet. This is the burden of our song- We take life's cares and hardships, To live the pure and speak the true, And in the world to right the wrong. As the rose, clean and unspotted, With its whiteness unmarred by sin, Shall We keep our souls all pure God overhead, His love within. We shall strive to lift the darkness To make this earth more than just earth, And of the years of patient training We shall try to prove the worth. Unto you, our dear Alma llflater, We shall live forever true, And show to all the world of men That we have been with you. And from o'er flowing hearts we pray Once more to you-- Caress us! With low bowed heads today we stand Awaiting you to bless us. VIRGINIA GALLOWAY, '2O. Page F arty-sefven

I, l Again we see evidences in the picture of our physical strength. It is largely basket ball practice that has put these markings there. During the year 1916-17 the Freshmen went out in large numbers to the basketball court. Excitement was high when, at the close of that Thanksgiving Day, after a battle with the Junior-Senior team and then with the Sophomores, the Freshmen held the loving cup. Again in the fall of 1917 ours was the winning team. When 1918 came around the black and gold still carried the day. Naturally the Seniors of '20 hoped to complete its basket ball career by taking the loving cup for the fourth and last year. But our team met its VVaterloo on Thanksgiving Day of 1919 and the cup went to our very worthy opponents, the Junior Team. But what are the feats that have marked 'lartistic temperament on our picture. First there is musical talent in our class-in fact we might call ourselves a 'Kmusical family. There are vocalists, pianists and at one time we even claimed a violinist among our number. No musicals have been given when we did not have some capable representatives from our class. Three of the present Senior class have taken musical degrees, two have received the McBride voice medal and two have had charge of the music of the Y. W, C. A. Then we have an artist in our class. She has taken an active part in this branch of work and one year she received a scholarship in art. Then the class may boast of no little dramatic ability. In the spring of 1918 we. Sopho- mores at that time, staged a play, Abbu San of Old Japan, which was pronounced far and near a splendid success. We used the proceeds of this performance to beautify the campus by the erection of the rose arbor which proudly holds the fort near the entrance of the campus. ln the scenes from Shakespeare in the Castalian cele- bration and the Indian pageant of the Amelian celebration, many of our girls took part. During the Junior year We had a credible representation in the Patriot pro- gram which the Amelians presented, and the Tennyson pageants staged by the Cas- talians. Nor will the record be broken in our Senior year. The two societies are calling again this year for our girls to assist in the dramatics. While we see no signs up to this time of a Sara Bernhardt among our classmates, we have no doubts that there will he some lesser lights from among our number. The last marked characteristic of our composite photograph is that it is a face which is concerned not only about material things but has a vision of something higher. The four ofhcers of the Y. YV. C. A. for the year 1918-'19 were members of the Class of '20. The same thing occurred this year. And we are proud to say that we have two student volunteers who go out from the VVoman's College this year with us. The picture of our class that we leave with the VVoman's College is one that will never die. Long after the exact events of our college career have faded into the past, the noble and good that we have learned within its walls will be living and growing in the lives of those whom we meet.

Senior Class Will RUMMAGE ALE INIANY BARGAINS!! ATTENTION FACULTY AND STUDENTS! Be Surf' to Conn' to the Notion Counter, First Floor Lobby, Crlrnegie Hall, LIIOIIIHIZIS College. Small things. great things, odd things, precious things, numberless things, arti- cles once the possessions of the Senior Class-All at a bargain price. The no- tion counter will be open lN'Iay 27, 28, 29. COME ONE, COME ALL RARE BARGAINS SENIOR RUMNIAGE SALE GREAT CROVVDS VISIT SENIOR NOTION COUNTER BIANY PURCHASES OF USEFUL ARTICLES MADE. fSpecial to the Statel lX'Iay 27, Due West, S. C. There was an exciting scene before the doors of Carnegie Hall at 4 P. M. Long lines of girls and teachers were packed closely against the door, pushing and jostling, trying to get to the front. At length the notion counter was ready. Bliss Eliabeth Tribble was general man- ager. lN'Iiss Ruth Boggs was Cashier, making her last stand as holder of the money bag. lyliss Wilmot VVhitesides stood at the wrapping counter, seeing that each article was tested and wrapped in best wishes from the Senior Class. To tell how the crowd swooped down upon the notion counter and how each found the things that suited her or that she needed, would be a hard task for a re- porter with only two eyes, to describe. The first one that found a suitable article was lVIiss Abernathy. She grabbed the monacle and spectacles tied with yards of black ribbon which former- ly belonged to lyliss Bessie Potts. She rushed to Cashier Boggs, but there found that she could not pay for them that day as each article was not to be paid for in greenbacks but in good will to the Senior Class. lldiss Sheffield seemed to be searching diligently for something important, but could not find it. llfliss Tribble went to her aid. Nliss Sheffield said that she was looking for another sister to edu- cate. There was no such article left, but NIiss Tribble showed her a little comet hanging by its tail. Bliss Sheffield grabbed this and went off exceedingly happy. llfliss Sheffield already had a large deposit at the Cashier's desk. The whole Junior Class seemed to be lugging a bulky package. Some one said that it was the Seniors' luck at basket ball in 1920, but it is not known for cer- tain. It was already paid for in good will from the Juniors, so Cashier Boggs merely nodded as they passed Miss VVilliard Knight was rejoiced over a purchase she had made. Her package was a pair of high heels which originally belonged to Bliss Sarah Pat- rick. There was an odd looking package upon the counter which seemed about to spill. lVIargaret lVIcCord quietly asked what it was. She found that it was a package of lVIiss Grace SheHield's left over words, which she had not had time to use. lVIiss McCord immediately had this wrapped up for her in best wishes from the Seniors. Miss Grace Cashion purchased llliss Nlary Belle Hood's bun- dle of Cousins. lVIiss Janet hloore claimed Miss Lillian Singleton's position on the Blue Ridge VVorking Force. Page Forty-eight
