THE GIRTONIAN 45 Ruth Marie Johanson With her head in a whirl, for she's much in demand, In comes busy Ruth, before Judges to stand. Prosecutor: What are you, who are you, and what are your ways, And, pray, may we ask, have you any free days ? Ruth: Why, really, you know, I am Ruth, yes, just Ruth, And now that you ask, I must tell you the truth. As for school, why really that's out of my line, But they say that in breaking the rules here I shine. Judges: You're doomed for your deeds for society grand, At cotillons and teas you'll be much in demand. Virginia Hopkins Sullivan CThere are heard exclamations of greeting at the door, and a girl enters attired in a new gown. The Judges look her over, especially the gown, and one murmurs, Cunning Bunny, then protests sternly-J 3rd Judgwl do not recognize this girl, her face is strangely familiar, yet I cannot place it. Now what do you think? 2nd Judge-My dear fellow-four years of inter- mittent acquaintance have so familiarized me with this countenance that I can now recognize it at a glance. Forsooth, it is Virginia Sullivan. CThe 3rd Judge examines her registration books and table lists and seems satisfiedj Ist Judge Cwith an introductory cough and a con- ciliatory mannerj-I should think then, as it is under- stood Miss Sullivan is an exception in her position as social representative in the outside world, that she might be made an ambassador's wife to intercede for our country in foreign lands. CThe Judges nod solemnly and Virginia retires.l

46 THE GIRTONIAN Grace Agnes Martin juncrzsz Away from your happy school days Where you always were merry and glad, Where your friendship, love and kindness Made us happy and never sad, Go, Grace, and as at Girton, Give your friendship so close and so dear To all that you meet in future times, And share it as you did here. Wilna Soverhill Then speaks a still small voice from out the hall And answers to the name of Soverhill, And Wilna, whom we all do love, comes forth, A wee brown maiden, with a friendly smile, She softly greets her judges and Accuser. The fatal charge of which you stand accused, Unhappy Wilna, is dislike for rules- For Rules-the guiding star of Girton School. Thus speaks the stern accusing Faculty. But swiftly, fired with burning eloquence The Genius speaks: Oh, Judges, have you heard The prisoner touch her charmed violin With magic fingers, drawing from its soul Such strains as bear aloft our burdened hearts To lap them in the wondrous air of heaven ? He ceases, Wilna draws her magic bow Across the strings, such rapture fills the air As when afar one hears the heavenly choir. The judges bow their heads and speak with eyes In which bright dew-drops glisten: Go thou forth, Oh, Wilna, with the enchanted violin, And woo the world to laughter and to tears l Harriet Cuddaback Chapin CThere is a loud shout without the doors, which are suddenly flung wide, and a figure in jester's cap and bells skips lightly up the hall, singing at the top of her voice.D
