We are certainly taking advantage of this opportunity, for every group, every seat is filled and some pupils have to be sent out because there are no seats left. Under the auspices of Miss Norvelle 0111 Craighill, our regular Librarian, the library Library. has greatly improved in attractiveness and usefulness. But our Faculty fully realizes that our library is not as up to date as it should be and, there- fore, they have forwarded to the School Board a resolution requesting the Board to make it possible for our library to have better equipment and books. The English Department has been trying for a long time to get some new books for the use of the English pupils. We need new books, and through THE Cnrrro surely every stu- dent Will endorse this effort. Recently, in addition to several valuable educational books presented to the library by our Superintendent, Mr. E. C. 140 THE URI TI O Glass, the library has received a long needed set of books, The Library of Southern Literature. Although a part of the price of these books was taken from our School Library Fund, they are in a large sense of the word a gift from our Principal, Mr. S. G. Anspach, who gave the first fund for the purchase of these books about a year ago. The books have arrived just in time to be counted as a Christmas gift. In thanking him for his thoughtfulness and help in getting this set of books, THE Carrie wishes also to extend to him its special good wishes for a Happy Christmas and a Joyous New Year. GAA Christmas has almost come again, and doubtless to say, everybody is looking forward to that fete, but especially to the holidays. Some will be out of town and Christmas. some will remain with us, but wherever you are, THE Cnrnc hopes that Santa Claus will not pass you by and We sincerely wish that you may have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. UIEHHH '--'1 S Santa Qlllausz Ghz Zfiltra Hyauern OECILIA MCLAUGHLIN The pre-Christmas dansant of the Villa Nova Country Club had the distinction of occupying an important position in the social annals of Roxborough. To be specific, it launched in an informal manner the gaieties of the Christmas season. The affair was now in progress and it required no second glance to see that Myra Nadmond was receiving the rush of the hour. Myra was distinctive in her slim afternoon frock of orange velvet which contrasted well with her black hair and blue eyes. Dick Joyner came up with a tall, good-looking boy, cut in on the dance, and presented the newcomer, Edwin Saunders, the brilliant football star of Dartmouth. Besides possessing superlative good looks, Ed Saunders had a magnetic person- ality, and as Fate decreed, and as the Americanism says, Myra fell hard. . 142 THE ORITIC A little incident like this does not alter civilization, nor make the world stand still, but it does help along the plot a little. Myra, in giving the family an account of the func- tion, said that she had had a marvelous time and had met a good-looking boy from Dartmouth, with him she had a date for the Christmas dance. s 1 u Q n n s u The Christmas spirit had enveloped New York, the surg- ing mass of humanity, the drifting snow, and the cutting wind retold the same story. The shops of Fifth Avenue were displaying exclusive models of feminine apparel, While 'all along Broadway hordes of newsboys were screaming to un- heeding pedestrians the headlines of Clemenceau's latest speech. On the corner of Broadway and 42d Street, a man dressed like Santa Claus was selling holly sprigs and mistle- toe. Mrs. Nadmond and Myra had just purchased a leather traveling bag as a Christmas present for Mr. Nadmond, and were relieved that the annual shopping expedition was about completed. Mother, time is simply flying, Myra said, looking at her watch 5 Uwe have one hour to get tea and catch the train for home, and let's go to the Ritz. I love it theref' They entered the Tea Room, secured a table, and Myra, after giving the order, began to describe an evening gown which she had seen in a modiste's shop. The orchestra was playing from a balcony partially hidden by palms, and Myra forgot the outside world of clanging traffic. Once her attention was drawn to an over-dressed, middle- aged woman at the next table. This pompous lady was pro- nouncing the French dishes with a strong Yankee accent. One small cup of bullion femphasized bullionj, and one order of pommes de terra. Myra looked up, saw the waiter's profile, and almost stared. She was certain that he, was Ed. Saunders, the boy from I THE CRITIC 143 Dartmouth. They arose a few moments later, and Myra left the portals of the Ritz with a disturbed mind. She would demand an explanation from Dick when he took her to the theater the following evening. In the meantime she sat down and penned a few lines to Mr. Edwin Saunders, 23 University Place, 'MJ Alpha Kappa Phi: MR. SAUNnEas : . I am writing to inform you that our acquaintance is ended. Is it not rather ludicrous to expect me to attend a dance with a waiter? MYRA NADMOND. The next evening when she was with Dick at the theater her bravado was gone, she was nerveless. When the first act was over Dick said, Myra, there's Ed over there in the third box, right across 3 hels evidently anx- ious for you to bow. She glanced over to see him, and to the utter surprise of Dick, bowed ever so slightly. I L Dick, I saw that boy as a waiter at the Ritz the other day. Now, what must I infer from that Z I-Ie grinned broadly and said in a low voice, A bunch of us at the Frat house made a bet with him that his earning capacity was extremely limited, and to prove otherwise, Ed applied for the waiter's position and received pay for one week. We all admired his nerve very much, but I suppose it did look, right funny to you. Myra regretted with allaher heart the cool little note she had sent and longed to be able to tear it up. The next morning Ed Saunders, opening his mail, was si little puzzled to find a large fat envelope addressed in rather familiar handwriting, yet he could not think whose it was. Oh, yes I he thought, it certainly must be Myra's. He opened it and found within a smaller envelope bearing the in- scription, To Santa Claus. He broke the seal and read: A 144 Q THE CRITIC' DEAR SANTA CLAUS: Do you remember a long time ago when I insisted on you bringing me great big dolls with golden hair and blue eyes? Well, this time I Wrote a note to a boy breaking an acquaint- ance and a date because I was peeved. I was so sorry after- wards because the friend who introduced him explained how unjust I had been. I thought that perhaps he had a dual personality like the famous Dr. Jekyll, but my imagination was childish. Bring back his forgiveness as a big present for, MYRA NADMOND. The conventional ending for every fairy tale you ever read will be changed a little here. They had a wonderful time at the Christmas dance and lived happily ever after. .. l-.-. Unlock the door this evening And let your gate swing Wide, Let all who ask for shelter Come speedily inside. What if your yard be narrow? What if your house be small? There is a Guest whose coming Will glorify it all. Unbar your heart this evening, And keep no stranger out, Take from your soul's great portal The barrier of doubt. To humble folk and weary Give hearty Welcoming, Your breast shall be tomorrow The cradle of a King. -JOYCE KILMER. THE CRITIC 145 Qtbristmas nn a South Sea Jlslsnn ELWOOD VAUGHAN Four months and thirteen days, or rather one hundred and thirty-five days, I counted the notches on the tree again. Then since I had been cast ashore on August the twelfth, to- day was December the twenty-fifth, Christmas Day! And it had been four months and thirteen days since I had been washed overboard in my ship in a heavy sea. But, indeed, the weather was that of J une. A warm, mild breeze blew over the island almost continuously. By the palms and tropical growth I knew that the island was one of numerous similar islands which dot the southern seas. Although I had seen no sign of cannibals or wild animals, once I had seen a speck riding the waves, which I took to be a canoe of some kind. Still, today was Christmas day. I thought of the thousands of kiddies back in America who would be made happy today while the real spirit of Christmas was forgotten. I thought of other thousands who would be made sad by not being able to enjoy Christmas as the wealthier children did, or who would feel the sting of poverty and of pride at being the re- cipients of charity. Was it, is it, fair? I thought of the hypo- crites who rushed through the streets, shouting and laugh- ing, with arms full of presents, who gave where they expected to receive. Then I thought of a solemn and still night, lighted by a full southern moon and myriads of twinkling star dia- monds. I thought of slumber-ing hills specked by the Hooks of sheep upon them. I thought of the shepherds silently watching their Hooks. When, lol a star of radiant beauty, so bright that it rivaled the moon, was seen, proclaiming the 146 THE URITIC birth of the Christ. The shepherds beheld it with admiration when they were suddenly stricken with amazement at the sound of the sweetest music ever heard by mortal man. I again pictured the holiday feasts in my country, the multitude of dishes filled with Christmas dainties. The bril- liant extravagance-was it not tempting? I saw a lowly stable in Bethlehem of Judea with the little Christ-child upon the straw in the manger. I imagined the gay parties which were being held, and I contrasted them with the solemnity of that night nearly two thousand years ago. Through all this present merriment there rings a note of falsity. Something seems out of tune, the harmony is not perfect. As I strolled along the shell-covered beach, alone with my thoughts, I was attracted by a column of smoke which later I perceived came from a ship. It drew nearer. I shouted at the top of my voice. Would they hear, would they see my flag of clothing? They did see and hear. It was an American vessel bound for New York. They lowered a boat and took me aboard. By the time the ship once more got under way, the day was drawing to a close. The last rays of a dying day made the early stars appear silver instead of gold. The water's changing hue had darkened with the purple of the heavens and the little island stood outlined as a dark green patch against the streaked blue and gold which divided the sky and sea. The tops of the tall and stately palms and tropical trees, kissed by a mere breath of wind, seemed to undulate with the ocean waves. As the night hovered more closely over the earth and we sailed farther and farther from my late home, I looked with admiration upon the small speck gradu- ally growing smaller. Something seemed calling across an unthinkable void. From a world of nihilism a longing seemed flashed through space. I was suddenly awakened from my THE CRI TI C' 147 reverie by the ship's band, which struck up, Harkl the Her- ald Angels Sing. I again remembered that it was Christ- mas day and God had smiled upon me with deliverance. Nigritian darkness had now settled upon the ocean and all my dreams seemed swallowed up in oblivion. As the ship sailed on I turned and walked to the cabin. CHRISTMAS C stands for Christmas, which comes once a yearg H for the happiness, and jolly good cheery R for the reindeers, who pull Santa's sledg I for the icicles, which hang overheadg S stands for snow, all glistening and whiteg T for the table which gleams so brightg M for the merry laughter and glee 5 A for the angels with glad minstrelsyg S for the stockings, which hang on the shelf, And Wait to be Hlled by Santa himself. h W. PETTYJOHN. Some say that ever 'gainst that season comes Wherein our Saviour's birth is celebrated, The bird of dawning singeth all night long: And then, they say, no spirit dare stir abroadg The nights are Wholesomeg then no planets strike, No fairy takes, nor witch hath power to charm, So hallowed and so gracious is the time. -SHAKESPEARE. I , THE ORITIC Qlbristmas is ipmv FANNIE MINNICK Snowflakes fast are falling, And heaping on the ground, Just the thing that's wanted When Santa comes around. Christmas is here! A spicy smell of cedar Floats from the parlor door. Behold! The tree is loaded, Till it can hold no more! Christmas is here! Fruit cakes, hot and spicy Are safely stored from sight, Apples, nuts and candy Will stockings ill tonight. Christmas is here! Young folks all are happy, And the old feel young and spry When night drops down its curtain, And the moon peeps through the sky Christmas is here! THE CRI TI C' 149 a liilantatinn Qlbristmas ANNE CUCULLU Christmas was always the big timev for the negroes on the plantation, but orie of the happiest was the Christmas when Lucindy and Mose were to be married. The adjoining plantations of Colonel Hill and Mr. Patter- son Were holding a common celebration, which took place at Colonel Hill's old home, because Mr. Patterson had lost most of his money and slaves, and was unable to entertain on a large scale. Besides Mr. Patterson and his servants, there were guests from all over the country-side, each bring- ing a maid or a body-servant. The negroes had their celebration in the large basement room. In the morning, Ole Marse and Ole Miss had given presents to them with a kind word for each. Lucindy had received her wedding-gifts joyfully and Mose also was made happy With a handsome gold Watch. Lucindy was a feather-brained young negress belonging to the Colonel. She was quite a belle among the slaves on both plantations. Mose, Whose courtship had extended over several months, was a big negro, as black as the ace of spades, and he was the property of Mr. Patterson. Mose had a firmly-rooted and tender affection for things alcoholic. This attachment, as we shall see, led to ruinous trouble. In the evening Was the big dance. It was held in the base- ment, which was profusely decorated with holly and ever- greens. One of the big chandeliers from upstair was hung in the middle of the ceiling, its numerous candles shedding 150 THE CRITICS' a bright light on the scene below. Suspended from it was a big bunch of mistletoe, its wax-like berries gleaming in the light. Great hickory logs blazed in a big fireplace at one end of the room. ' ' Jim Hunter, the favorite iiddler in the country, who had come over with his master, was tuning up, so ,the negroes chose partners and waited impatiently for the first dance. Lucindy and Mose were dancing together, and Mose's best man, Andy, danced with Maria, the maid of honor. Those who were not dancing at the start changed their minds and shook a foot. Jim's fiddling could not be resisted. There seemed to be countless numbers of little pickaninnies, all with braids sticking out in every direction and eyes as big as saucers. They were hopping in everybody's Way and squealing with excitement. There Was a great scuiiie under the mistletoe as the constantly changing figures swept back and forth at Jim's command. When the dance was over, Mose made a bee-line for the sideboard in the big house, where he knew that a large decanter of most excellent wine and another of whiskey was kept for the guests of the Colonel. Mose's 'drst drink was not his last. In fact, he drained the Wine bottle. It had been only two-thirds full, for the sideboard was a most popular resort for the gentlemen. And so, seeing that the Wine was no more, and that the Whiskey was not up to its usual stan- dard, he went in search of Jeems, the butler. Jeems, when Hnally found, was accosted with rebukes. I Lookahere, you Jeems, you sho' es done fall down on yo' job. Dar dat decan' empty an' all dem white-folks pinin' fer de wine. Whyn't you 'ten' yo' bus'ness? You' s gittin' mighty lazy these days. Moses, J eems replied knowingly, don't fegit you's gwine to be married tonight. An' you bettah be 'tendin' to yo' Lu--. THE ORITIC' 151 Here the great gong which was used to call in the Held hands rang out, and they both hurried to the feast awaiting them. The big basement seemed transformed, there was a long table in the middle of the floor, and there was a smaller table on each side. They were covered with snowy cloths and oh, that banquet was enough to make any nigger roll his eyes and smack his lips! There seemed to be everything heart could wish, and the tables fairly creaked and groaned! There were turkeys and chickens and pie and cakes and everything good! The negroes seated themselves, all the while gazing hungrily at the tempting dishes. And then the Reverend James Peters, who had come over to perform the marriage ceremony, asked the blessing, Which, to the impatient negroes, seemed terribly long. Indeed, Mirandy Jane's little boys were unable to wait till the finish and grabbed a piece of cake before the 4'amen. Lucindy and Mose sat at one end of the big table, and Andy and Maria at the other. They ate until they began to think they would have no room at all for Lucindy's wedding cake. ' Finally the last one got up, and all except Lucindy, Mose and the other attendants, adjourned to the carpenter shop where Dr. Peters conducted prayers. Lucindy was arraying herself in her full glory. The four little .flower girls, dressed in white with huge pink bows on their 'heads and pink sashes around their waists, were prac- ticing their march as importantly as if they were the bride. But Mose, what of him all this time? An unfortunate mental picture of a full decanter of amber wine formed in his brain. He had no resistance against this tempting imageg so he sneaked upstairs. He proceeded without delay to the sideboard, Where he stretched out a loving hand to the darling 152 THE CRITIC' of his heart. The erring Mose should have been following the example of his bride-to-be by dressing for the wedding. About an hour later, Lucindy was receiving the last touches from Ole Miss herself, and soon, accompanied by the be- ribboned flower-girls, she went to the basement room which had been cleared of the tables. The audience was already there. Lucindy stood at the side door waiting for Mose and making a great fuss over the long,white train attached to her dress. Time passed swiftly and the appointed hour for the wedding was long since gone, when iinally Andy was sent in Search of Mose. First he hunted in all the quarters and then hurried up to the big house. Suddenly he heard a bass voice singing spasmodically Down by the Riverside. Guided by the singing, he came upon Mose leaning heavily against the side- board. Mose, you scon'el, don't you know we's all waitin' an' you ain' eben dressed no nothin! Come on hyah quick, Lu- cind'1l be a-comin' after you. Mose stopped singing and smiled. He said something to Andy, slowly and punctuated with hiccoughs. But he al- lowed Andy to lead him hurriedly down stairs. He was half- pulled, half-pushed to Andy's cabin, where he began to put on his new black suit, Andy helping him the while. Sud- denly he sank back on the bed, dead to the World. Andy, after repeated attempts to arouse him, hurried back to the now desperate Lucindy. He rushed up to her and cried, Mose say he ain' ready, and then amidst the consterna- tion which followed, and on an impulse, he added, But Ise ready, Lucindy, ef you'11 jes' hab me. And so the next day, Mose found himself dethroned, and in his stead, Andy was crowned king of Lucindy's ickle heart. i I THE CRITIU 153 Qllbristmas Spirit ISABEL HANCOCK Gray winter skies and the cold winds we hear Show us it's time- for another New Year. The old year is passing, it waits at the door 5 Just as it leaves us a treat's held in store. Gladly we look for the end of the year, Christmas then comes, to us brings good cheer. This is the happiest time that I know, And Christmas Spirit is what makes it so. 1 Children are out of school, they're free to playg Snow's on the ground and they pull out the sleigh, Hitch up the horse, and with jingling bells gog Oh! Gee! how thrilling to fly through the snow. Children hang stockings on Christmas-Eve night, Close by the firesides where Yule-logs burn bright. They are so happy for Santa will come. They make the atmosphere cheerful at home. Still there are stockings old Santa can't fill, Houses where Yule-logs won't take off the chill. Those empty stockings mean empty hearts, toog Is there not something for them you can do? Let not an anxious child's eager hopes fall, For sacriiicing brings joy to us all. Fill a small stocking and some heart with cheer, That' s the very best way to start the New Year. 154 THE CRITIO Beats on Qliartb JUDITH GREGORY The hard lines of the clean little hut were for a time rounded out by the rosy glow of the ire on the hearth. A little old peasant woman sat alone by the fire fondling a pair of tiny sabots. In flrelight there is a certain quality that recalls memories. The little old woman, with a habit common to the aged, murmured to herself from time to time. Ah, mon petit Jeannot, I love thee much, I love thee more than my son, thy father. Aye, I love thee more than life 5 gladly would I have laid down my own life hadst thou but lived. If I could weep-if I could but weep-I feel it would be easier to live, now that thou art gone-the last and dearest of my dear ones. It is Christmas Eve. and there is no little Jeannot to put hay in the sabots for the mulets du' Bon homme Noels, he will not come to this house tonight. Thou absent, Noel will bring me only sorrow. Thy father, mon brave Jean, ah, he was like a young tree, so tall, so straight, so strong! But she was a flower, thy little mother, how she drooped, la pauvre petite, when the cruel war carried him off! How she trembled when one even spoke of war! Sobs strangled the words. The tiny sabots were hugged close to the poor, thin chest. At last she swayed slowly back and forth and began to croon as if to a baby. When the cruel news came we thought that Ze bon Dieu had taken her to thy father in Paradise. But even a crushed Hower may live for a while. She lived long enough to lay thy tiny hand in mine. THE' ORITIC' 155 Just four short years you were with me, yet thy little Bngers twined in my very heart strings and then-thou too! She started, Who's there Z she called. It is I! Let me in, my good Woman. I would talk with thee! Ah, this is better than the icy blasts of the night- What a joy a good ire is. I was frozen with the cold. Nay, nay, bother not to make a hot drink for me. But I would, M. le Cure, and there is no trouble. See I will have it done for thee in a minute. What would you talk with me about Z s It is of that hate which is eating away the chance of see- ing le bon Dieu. that I would speak to thee of. Thou hast suf- fered one sorrow after another. Take heed! Take heed! My good woman, thou hast seen the devastation wrought by ces Briches, the 'blond beasts'. That was hate. Listen, soften thy heart, root out that hate. Hate is not good-our Lord said, 'Love thy neighbor' ! . The iirelight tlickered, rose, and fell, a mellowing, soften- ing light, breeding confidences. Ah, M. le Cure, it was a great injury that she did to me. I can never, never forgive her that she stole the love of Thei- bant. Had it not been for her, I and not she would bear the name of Thfibant. But she must needs marry him, and, not satisfied with leaving me desolate, she must buy the farm that I have loved and longed to own since a little girl. She must live on it under my very nose, by her very presence to gloat over me. ' Noi, No! It is not so that to my husband's memory I owe her forgiveness. To him I owe nothing. When he mar- ried me he knew I loved another better and he did not com- plain. I was a good wife to him. I Washed his clothes, kept his house clean and cooked his food, and every day I helped him in the fields. With my aid he made a good living and 156 THE URITIC' laid aside a little for our old age. I nursed him through his long illness, and with his dying breath he blessed me. I owe him nothing! Ah, M. Ze Cure, it is no use. My husband through all his life could not prevail on me to forgive her. My son through all his life could not prevail on me. I hate with an everlast- ing hatred, and I will not, cannot, forgive. She rose and opened the door, he passed through and stood on the other side, his black robe and hat silhouetted 'against the snow. With raised cross he spoke. 'Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who tres- pass against us! My good woman, on this night we celebrate an event- the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, 'and the Lord gave His only Son that the sins of the world might be forgiven !' I will see thee at midnight mass! Peace be with thee ! But peace was not with her. She sat by the waning fire and her fingers plucked nervously at her apron. Often she said to herself, And the Lord gave His only Son that the sins of the world might be forgiven. At le messe de minuit she knelt at the church. Before her, in a manger, lay the image of the little Christ-child, Ze petit N 061, and in her ears rang the Words, And the Lord gave His only Son that the sins of the World might be forgiven. The Cure elevated. the host. The acolytes struck the bell. The bell to the old Woman intoned, Forgive-forgive. Half startled, she raised her head, and as her eyes rested on the Babe in the manger she saw, what she had not seen before, that the Babe was her little Jeannot. She gazed and marvelled. The choir sang, C'est pour nous tous qu'iZ n-wit, qufil souffre meurt. Peuple, debout! chante ia delivmncefi THE ORITIO 157 The Babe in the manger, her little J eannot gazed at her, and in its eyes was a pleading, Good will to man and peace on earth.

A TREE What a wonderful thing is a tree! There it stands with its branches outstretched to all the world, as if asking alms. It will stand there, perhaps, for centuries. When spring comes the tree takes on new life. It turns a rich green and stays so until its leaves become autumnal shades of red, brown, and yellow. How beautiful is the tree when it is colored this way! As autumn goes the very life of the tree seems to die with it, only to wait until spring again comes and its life is awakened. Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree. V. Porfrs. 158 THE ozezrzc '15e1tp's faith in Santa Qtlaus MARGUERITTE BALLOU I I often wondered how Santa Claus ever could get in Some houses, for the chimneys are so little, else he's mighty thin. I know that he is stout and strong, from pictures I have seen. He couldn't come down chimneys, he's always very clean. This question always faces me, maybe everyone, But chimney, or no chimney, he never fails to come. II I often wondered why it was I never chanced to wake, Just as Santa placed his pack or gave a little shake. Mother says he goes away if children ever peep, But I never get a chance because I'm always fast asleep. And if I ever should awake, I'd shut my eyes, you bet! I wouldn't peep on Santa, he's never failed us yet. ' III I often wondered how he' d come if it did not snow, But then, he'd find another way just as good, I know. He would probably come by air-plane or send the toys by freight, He'd always manage some way, he never could be late. IV There are many things about him I'm always wond'ring 'boutg And some of them, I know, I never could work out. But I'1l quit all this nonsense and will not cry nor fret. Why should I? Dear old Santa has never passed us yet. K l THE URITIC 159 S '7J52lHt2U Qbift CYNTHIA MUNDY It was Christmas day! Christmas, with great feather-y flakes drifting and swirling out of a leaden gray sky. Christ- mas, too, in the homes, Where happy children laughed and played gleefully with the pretty toys, brought miraculously to many thousand homes by old Santa in one night. On all this merriment, however, Christine Morley looked with lack-lustre eyes. Christmas, this year, is nothing to her. Her life is blighted, her heart broken, irreparably. So she thought, turning with a deep sigh from the Warmth and cheer Within, to gaze at the cold, bleak scene Without. Never again would she trust, as she had trusted John MacFarlane! Never! Not for two Weeks had she heard from him. He had just stopped coming, that was all. 'Christmas came, and no John, no present. He didn't want to give her a present, that was self-evident. If he cared anything for her at all, Chris- tine argued, held Want to give her something, if only a box of chocolates. She, herself, had selected, With many thrills of excitement, a set of exquisite cuff-buttons to give to him when he eameg but he had not come, and the little box, con- taining the cuff-buttons, Was tightly packed at the bottom of her trunk. Christine was through with men, forever. So occupied With these thought was Christine, that she started violently when a small hurricane, originating in one corner of the room, rushed over and catapulted itself into her lap. 'Stine, I wan' you to make my 'team engine go, I do! Go 'Way, mamma! as that personage approached, I don' want you, I Want 'Stine l 160 THE CRI TI C' But Mamma would not be driven away and 'Stineu unexpectedly handed Sammy over to her, much to that small gentlemanis surprise. Mamma, however, understood. Chris- tine, at any other time, would have loved to wind up Sammy's toys, and to play with and cuddle him, but today she was not to be bothered. The family, you see, sympa- thized with Christine's troubles, though they were at a loss what to do about it. At least, they determined, she should not be unnecessarily worried. So the morning passed, as it had started. By the time din- ner was ready, everything and everybody was in a sweet stew. Christine, of course, appeared red-eyed and Weepy. Mamma, who was of a nervous disposition, declared ve- hemently every few minutes, Baby, you will worry the soul out of your mother l Joe, too, was sulky, because he was not allowed to shoot a single fire-cracker, as Christine com- plained of a headache, and it might worry her. Why, he had argued, doesn't 'Stine always help shoot 'em oif herself 5 't least, every year but this one ! 'Twas of no avail, he should not. Everyone, in fact, was grave and serious, or irritable. Grandfather even, seemed concerned and perplexed. The only person at the Christmas table that was not solemn was the Baby. He, too, had been through many trials that day, but always, after a storm of tears, he would clear up, brighter than ever, as is the way with babies. Thus dinner progressed, silent and gloomy. Baby, seem- ing to feel the gloom, tried to make up in noise for all the rest, but no one paid any attention to him. Brandishing his drum-stick of turkey, he pounded on the table, screaming, I want some more turkey, I do, now! On being silenced and supplied with the turkey, which none of the others seemed to enjoy at all, he relapsed for a while, only to rise up again, apparently bent on putting some life into the others, at least. But his efforts all failed. THE ORITIC' 161 What a dinnerl Everything customary for Christmas din- ner Was there, turkey, sauce, ham, delicious hot rolls, and many kinds of cake. It was all put on the table, and though no one felt like eating, all felt bound to perform their duty and try. A nice mess the table and everything else Was in when they finished, too. Grandfather irritably cutting the turkey, had sloshed half of it oft' on the table cloth, Joe had spilled gravy all over the front of his new shirt, the baby had been allowed to do his Worst, and everybody in general had crumbled cake into bits by the plates, unable to cat it. Suddenly--ting-a-ling- the phone rang. Christine jumped, then springing to her feet, showed signs of life for the first time that day by running to answer the phone-with what hopes? She was, however, disappointed, and returned, gloomier than ever, it was only someone calling to thank her for a gift. This time, though, Grandfather broke out, and ex- pressed himself fully and without reserve concerning that consarned young jackanapesf' The storm burst. Christine burst into tears again, Mamma syrnpathetically crying with her. Everybody started talking at once, laying load after load of blame on the recreant lover. Sammy, to keep com- pany with the rest, began screaming some unintelligible jar- gon at the top of his voice. A bell rang somewhere, but no attention was paid to it. J oe hurled himself out of the room in boyish disgust, determined to crack as many squibs as possible while the racket lasted. Suddenly, while in full swing, the hubbub ceased. There, in the door, stood a pleas- ant-looking young man, evidently out of breath, with a long, mysterious-looking package under one arm. He gazed with surprise at the scene before him, and the family stared back, dumfounded. At last, Christine found voice, Why, John---I then, realizing what a scene there was, rushed, covered with em- 162 THE URITIC' barrassment, into the next room. John followed, greatly puzzled. A sigh of relief went up from all the family- Thank the Lord, said Mamma, he's come-and with a present. l THE MOUNTAINS Over their lofty tops the sun first casts its cheerful rays into the valleys and at night sinks into the western sky be- hind them. They tower into the skies sometimes above the very clouds, keeping watch over all. Among their craggy precipices the eagle has his eyrie, and on their sides grow the age-old trees. Now and then a dead one stretches its leaiiess limbs to the sky as if inviting the birds to rest upon its branches. Down their steep slopes roar the creeks and rivers, cutting deep canyons into the 'very rock foundation of the mountains. By changing a few Words of Tennyson's poem on The Brook we have- ' A For men may come and men may go, But I stand here forever. They are the monuments to the unknown dead and unre- corded deeds of the ages long since past. They are the vaults of Nature where she has stored up her minerals, her fuel and jewels. They are the storehouse of the rocks from which our most beautiful buildings are made. They break the mon- otony of the landscape. Indeed, what other natural assets have we which contributes to our happiness more than the mountains, because from them we get wealth, health, and beauty. M. J oHNsoN.

The tired ploughman plodding home from his work is heartened by the mere glimpse of a blazing fire through a window. Under the influence of warmth, Il1B.I1,S disposition im- proves, grows better, becomes angelic. Show me the crabbed person who can sit near a roaring fire, with plenty of chest- nuts to roast, cider to drink, and a merry crowd, and yet remain grouchy, and I believe you have found the eighth wonder of the world! About .the Christmas fire especially there is an indescrib- able cheer. When the wind whistles and the shutters rattle and the snow sweeps in drifts under the door, there is noth- ing so cheering as a. big, blazing Yule-log. E. DEYERLE.

THE URITIC 165 DEAR HIGH ScHooL : It Won't be long before Christmas! Oh, joy! We know you must be so excited with anticipation that you can hardly keep your hearts from bubbling over. But try a few more days, anyway, then-1-1 And remember, don't ask Santa Claus for too much, the dear fellow has an awfully big load sometimes. Then, too, you mustn't forget to be very good just beforehand, and above all, hang your stockings by the chimney with care. We are sending you this littleynote by a messenger all dressed in red, and when you see him-if you do-he will be all covered with ,ashes from his head to his foot. Just the same, he is bringing, oh, so many, many good wishes from us. We hope you'll have just loads of plum pudding as well as mince pie 3 and would you like for us to tell old Santa to bring you all the things you Want? But the best of our wishes, dear High School, is that you may be happy. Sincerely, M. C.

FERGUSON. 6 ,- -x G. H. S. CLUB On Oct. 27, 1922, the meeting of the G. H. S. C. was opened with devotional exercise by Virginia Bibee. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. The chairman of the various committees made reports. This meet- ing was strictly at business one. The President read the con- stitution and several amendments were made. After refresh- ments werc served the meeting adjourned. c Ou your mark! Get set! Go! This was the subject of the meeting held at the Y. VV. C. A. Friday, Nov. 16. The ob- ject of this meeting was to illustrate the correct and incorrect dress, manners and actions for school. Those taking part are as follows: Proper school costumes-Leona Thompson. Improper school costumes-Phyllis Roby. Natural school girl-Elise Deyerle Too much rouge and powder-Louise Whitaker Neatly dressed-Lorene Cralle THE ORITIC 167 Carelessly dressed-Rhoda Howard School spirit-Hallie Fox Lacking school spirit-Ella Thompkins. Chewing gum-Anne Kemp. Head of anti-chewing gum--Dorothy Henson. Proper posture+Margaret Petit. Incorrect posture--Roberta J ones. Eight hours' sleep--Elizabeth Isbell. Not enough sleep-Mary Barksdale. The wrong method of doing things was brought out in a very amusing way as they were much overdrawn and the con- trast between them and the right was so plainly made there can be no doubt in any one's mind which course to follow. Then very novel but enjoyable refreshments were offered in the form of red and green suckers. The Thanksgiving meeting was held Nov. 16, 1922, as Thanksgiving was a holiday. Virginia Shakeford conducted the devotional exercise. Mary Douglas Horner told a charm- ing Thanksgiving story. The tale of John Alden and Pris- cilla was very cleverly given in pantomime by Leona Thomp- on and Leola Fields. A game was played which was made interesting by the comers receiving a prize. Rebecca Talia- ferro was the lucky one. Hot chocolate and cakes were served and after dancing the meeting broke up. 13130 THE SPANISH CLUB The Spanish Club met at the home of Miss Helen Iiichen- stein, Saturday night, Nov. 18, 1922, at 8:00 o'clock. After business had been dispensed with, Miss Edna Callaharn gave an interesting talk on Spanish History. Games were played and Spanish songs were sung. Then refreshments were served and the club, after singing 0 Sole Mio adjourned. Every one had a good time. 168 THE CRITIC' THE FRENCH CLUB The French Club elected as its oliicers the following: President, Wm. Wilson. Vice-President, Roberta J ones. Secretary, Winifred Arthur. Treasurer, Fanny Roberts. The first meeting was held at William Wi1son's house on Randolph-Macon Heights, Thursday, Nov. 19, 1922. The meeting began with the singing of several French songs. John Robeson sang M adelon, a famous French marching song. A paper which was prepared by Elizabeth Fisher on D'Avignon was read. A French game called Les M eubles des Ciusineu was played. Delicious refreshments were served and as the autumn evenings are so short the meeting adjourned in what seemed a very short time. Phyllis Roby entertained the French Club, Tuesday, Nov. 21, 1922. Maxine Howard sang Pameque and other French songs. Then Les M eubles des O'li'LLS1:'l'b6,,, great favorite at the Club, was played and enjoyed as usual. An attractive salad course was served and after dancing a while the members dispersed. The French Club is a great success and its mem- bers look forward to its meetings. AAD COMMERCIAL CLUB MEETING The Commercial Club held its regular October meeting in the John Wyatt Auditorium, Oct. 27. The president, Charles Spencer, opened the meeting, after which the secre- tary called the roll and read the minutes of the previous meeting, which were approved. V The Club had as a speaker for the evening, Mr. D. B. Ry- land of the Chamber of Commerce. He gave the students many helpful points about the business world. He also com- pared the young men and women of today with those of yes- THE CRI TI 0 169 terday as to opportunities, etc. The president, on behalf of the Club thanked Mr. Ryland for his most interesting and appreciated talk. The social part of the evening's program consisted of the initiation of the new members. The club was delightfully entertained with a solo-by Miss Ethel Tweedy, and a piano duet by Cordelle Crist and Mildred Paris. Several games were played and refreshments served, after which the meet- ing adjourned. 1 The otlicers of the club for this session are as follows: President, Charles Spencer. Vice-President, Sarah Crist. Recording Secretary, Gladys Robertson. Corresponding Secretary, Vivian Haden. Sergeant-at-Arms, Murray Stinnett. 1300 HI-Y CLUB A meeting of the Hi-Y Club was held Friday, Nov. 11, at the Y. M. C. A. Supper was served at 6:00 P. M. A most helpful and interesting talk on Good Citiaemhip was made by Mr. Fred Davis. The constitution was read, which was drawn up by the Constitution Committee. It was decided to be more fully discussed and voted upon at the next meet- ing. Milton Apperson gave a short Bible talk and the meet- ing ended with a prayer. Virginia Baldwin, Hallie Fox and Isabel Hancock served. A Another Hi-Y meeting was held Friday, Nov. 18, 1922. Several of the boys had attended the Older Boys Conference at Roanoke and Hugh Lewis and Louis Shearer told some- thing about it. The constitution was read by Joe Vaughan and was passed by the Club. Supper was served by Mrs. Monroe, assisted by Willie Monroe, Grace Haskin, Frances Clark and Judith Gregory. 5- ,v4Kgi.5 ' . . . X .., X ,-.

What it really needs is better organization. The short sketches by the editor in his department would be more appreciated if placed in the locals. This division is more closely related to the student body and they are interested in short items of school news. This would be an improvement in both the editorials and the locals. A magazine such as yours would naturally appeal to your subscribers because of the number of personal hits, but an outsider cannot appreciate these. We should suggest that you give your Literary Department more atten- tion. A really good magazine should try to have about three articles, with one of them possessing true literary value. The O THE CRITIC 171 Omrrc staff congratulates Mr. Paul Moller on his attractive cover design and sketch in the October issue of the Micrometer. The Roman.-We see in your recent Publication where other mazines have praised you and we wish to do the same, except for a few criticisms. We find from the editorial page of your magazine that your aim is to promote literary eifort in the school. The November number of the Roman contained seven stories, all of the hero and heroine type, and they lived happily ever afterward. Get your contributors inter- ested in more serious subjects, and try some local color. A poem or two would be a great improvement. Most of your cuts are good and snappy and these contribute largely toward making your magazine a success. Your students should feel slighted in not having more representation in your locals. This is the social and personal of your magazine and should be interesting. The following is a list of new exchanges received during the past month: The Acorn-Roanoke High School, Virginia. The Central Lumincry-Kansas City, Mo. The X-Ray-Fairbury High School, Nebraska. On Bounds-Montclair Academy, New Jersey. The Micrometer-Ohio Mechanics Institute, Cincin- nati, Ohio.

THE' CRITIC' 173 The girls who met with Miss Kinney have organized a club for the purpose of studying the Bible. The club is known as the Kinney Klub. The newest married member of our faculty was evidently much impressed by the marriage ceremony. One of the senoritas in her Spanish class was told to speak now, or forever hold your peace. The ceiling in the lunch room is at last white! The tem- porary inconvenience of making our way about a cluttered up room is more than repaid by the Hnished work. Nov. 11 was a great day for the High School. The parade marched down to the auditorium, Where a very interesting program was rendered. Mr. John James was in charge of the program for the morning. The American Legion March was played by the R.-M. W. C. Orchestra and the invocation was given by Mr. Robeson, chaplain of the American Legion. Mrs. Mitchell Strother sang America Is Coming. Milton Apperson, president of Class of '23, presented the tablet, and Mr. Walker, our principal, accepted it. The tablet was unveiled by Kelso Barger and Helen Murphy, each of whom lost a brother in the war. The tablet, inscribed to our boys killed in the War, has been placed in the lobby. The Senior Class has passed a reso- lution to have silence each morning as they Walk from the door to the inner hall. It is hoped that every one will co- operate in showing this mark of our respect and love for the boys who made the supreme sacrifice. It has also been der cided to place fresh flowers under the tablet on special pa- triotic anniversaries. 174 THE CRITIC The crowd of High School students at the W.a.ndL.-V. P.

The Siege Perilousf, one of Edwin Abbey's series of Holy Grail pictures, has been given to the High School. The money for purchasing the picture was raised under the auspices of the English Department led by Mrs. Nicholas. A formal presentation of the picture was made in chapel Wednesday, the 22nd. Dorothy Dickerson presided. Wortly Crowe told how the money for the picture was raised. Harri- son Jones told about the other pictures of the series. Doug- las Arnold interpreted the picture. We are sure every one is very grateful to Mrs. Nicholas and the English Depart- ment for this beautiful picture.

FRITZ LEIBER A great many of the students of the High School recently saw Mr. Ileiber and his company in Julius Caesar, M erchant of Venice, and Romeo and Juliet. Those who were at these plays saw how wonderfully they were presented, but very few know what goes on behind the curtain. There were a dozen of the boys in luck, however, for they were chosen to act as supers in Julius Caesar. As they were wanted for a mob scene some of those who most represented mob elements were chosen. These boys were very much impressed by what they 178 THE ORITIO' saw. Some even went back and obtained permission to go behind the curtain and study the actors more. The scenery was very beautiful. The same background was used for every scene. This was a curtain which seemed to have dashes of white scattered all over it. The lights flashed on it at different angles would bring into view trees and new landscapes. The stage properties were also very interesting. An old stone bench, by different arrangements of the pieces, could be changed into a glittering throne. A tent could be changed into a palace by re-arranging the pillars, etc. At no time were the curtains down longer than three minutes, even between acts, so rapid was the transformation of the scenery. The lights were produced by four huge carbon lights. Plates of different colors could be installed, produc- ing diiferent effects. An orange colored plate would produce a sunny day scene. Blue plates gave night scenes. Green and orange produced a moonlight night. Each actor had at least two trunks in which he kept his costumes and cosmetics. The costumes were very beautiful. Mr. Lf-3ib61',S costumes in Romeo and Juliet were valued at two hundred dollars each. The costumes for the supers were given out as the boys arrived. Some diihculty was en- countered in getting them to fit, but all were finally ready for the show to begin. While waiting for the curtain to rise, some of the boys leaned on a stone wall, which fell crashing to the iioor. They were blessed out for the last time and warned against touching any of the scenery. Mr. Leiber's company is like a large family. The vul- garity that marks the general musical schow is entirely lack- ing. The members of his company are also well educated. They all have diplomas from some recognized college, which Mr. Leiber keeps together in his trunk. Every day they learn more and more, for traveling around from city to city and meeting with different types of people is perhaps as 7,7 THE CRI TI O 179 good training as college can give. The members of his troupe declare they all look forward to winter, so they can begin touring the country again. All the supers had a fine time and a novel experience. They learned much and felt greatly proiited by being among the actors. After his Hnal play, Mr. Leiber came out and met some of the High School teachers and pupils. He has prom- ised to talk to us in chapel when he comes again, and We are all looking forward eagerly for that time. -C. ANDREWS. GARLAND RHODES LOCALS Miss Kinney spoke to the girls. It was so long ago that we have forgotten the date. We enjoyed the talk very much. We began to have morning exercises in the auditorium on October 17. The school grounds have been graded and are ready for grass. ' Jimmy and Floyd Day have come to Lynchburg from Memphis, TennL We are glad to have them and hope they will like us so well that they will want to stay here. We have two new High School teachers: Mrs. J. W. Eure, English, and Miss Celeste Wilson, Science and English. The 2A Class has organized! They have some fine ofiicers, too. Jimmy Day was elected presidentg Blanch McCarthy, vice-presidentg William Coleman, secretary, and John Fox, chairman. The 1A Science Classes Went out to the Igloe Dairy Farm last Friday, 17th. All took their lunches and had a grand time. ' HTNLETIL i LYNOHBURG 03 ROANOKE 20 The brute strength of the Roanoke team overcame the science of the Blue and White men. Time after time Roan- oke would carry the ball through the lighter team only to be held or lose the ball because of fumbling. Roanoke had a bad attack of fumbling. Five times when she was within twenty-five yards of the goal line a Roanoke player fumbled. The second half they could not be held from our goal line. The grit displayed by the boys from the Hill City will be forever in the memory of those who saw the game. The features of the game were the driving power of the Roanoke team and the ifty-yard run of their quarter-back. Though the team from home lost, their playing was not fea- tureless. Gilliam recovered a fumble and raced forty yards down the field. Pete's punting saved our goal line from danger many times. Day, on the kick-otf, surpassed Roanoke by ten to fifteen yards. Dodi was guarded so closely that he was unable to make any gains through the heavy line of the opponents. Do not judge the game by the score, but ask some of the team's supporters who were there, what they think of it. 7 THE URITIC 181 LYNCHBURG 135 DANVILLE 0 Danville caught the Blue and White warriors off their bal- ance, but Dame Luck smiled her sweetest and another vic- tory was chalked up to our credit. The ability of Pete to take advantage of Danville's misplay was the main factor in our success. He recovered two fumbles and tramped across the goal line for touchdowns. The offensive work of the team was very good. The de- fense also stood out, as Danville made only one first down. Touchdowns: Pete Ross 2. V LYNCHBURG 0 V. E. S. 27 The team met its Waterloo when they lined up against V. E. S. at Johnson Field. Only once during the game were we able to get near their goal line. A forward pass was inter- cepted and our last chance faded. V. E. S. presented one of the best teams that has ever been put out by their school. The back field plunged through the line and around end again and again. The High School put up one of the pluckiest fights ever seen on the gridiron. They fought hard to stave off defeat but were forced to bow before a better team.. LYNCHBURG 03 CHATHAM T. S. 6 Sanford's recovery of a fumble spelled defeat for the High School team. It was the break of the game and Chatham did not fail to take advantage of it. The first half was a see-saw affair. Neither team was able to make gains. ' In the third quarter Gilliam fumbled Wilson's punt and it was soon converted into a touchdown by Sanford for the only score of the game. 182 THE CRITIC' Just before the final whistle the Blue and White began a brilliant, rapid-fire, passing game, but it was too late. The whistle blew when there were twenty yards to go. Taylor's oifensive and defensive playing was easily the feature of the game. Benton and McCarthy played their best game of the season. Wilson's run of forty yards through the line featured Ohatham's playing. SUMMARY OF THE FOOTBALL SEASON The football season has closed and we now turn our thoughts to basketball. However, let us see just what the team did this season.

It is very gratifying to know that the coaches have brought out such good material. To pick out the individual star of the season would be dim- cult and so it is to the whole team that We give praise. THE URI TI C' 183 Girls' Stblztizs The Tennis Tournament, which has been in progress for some time came to an end Friday, November 17, when Miss Alice DuPuy defeated Miss Frances Williamson in straight sets: 6-2, 6-3, 6-3. The champion is the proud possesor of a loving cup as a symbol of her prowess. A Why not have a Boys' Tournament? BASKET-BALL LYNCHBURG 13, PETERSBURG 20 In a game marred by frequent fouls, the Blue and White Basket-ball team ,met defeat at the hands of the girls from the Cockade City. At the end of the iirst half it seemed as if we might be the victor, but after our two guards had been ban- ished from the game by the foul route, our hopes went glim- mering. From then on it was Petersburg's game. They presented a well-balanced team and should prove formidable contenders for the championship of the state, an honor which they now hold. The calling of so many fouls hindered the playing of the L. H. S. girls, but notwithstanding this, they showed the lack of team work which characterized their playing last year. The absence of the students to cheer the team was noticeable. A team can never do its best when the school they represent fails to stand behind them. 4 Q3 Alumni Q3 WHO'S WHO Our Alumni never fail us. We hear on all occasions of honors which have been bestowed on any number of them. The following are examples of this: The rushing at diHe1-ent colleges have ceased and the girls are now being pledged into frats. Among those from the Class of '22 being taken in at R.-M. W. C. are Misses Elizabeth Adams, Katherine Jones, Elizabeth Mahood, Mary Wilson, Josephine McGregor and Mary Graves. In addition are Misses Marion Leys and Mary B. Wilson of the Class of '21. . Hollins has also taken a number of Lynchburg girls into frats. These are: Misses Celeste Ivey, Virginia Kinnier, Florence Miller, Anne Long, Ellis Nowlin, Edith Doss and Elizabeth Dirom. Hal Costello who left L. H. S. in 1918 to take up Work at V. M. I., now holds the rank of lst Captain at that institu- tion. Wirt Faulkner has been re-elected president of his class for the third time. Tyree Almond, who was president of the Rat class last year has been re-elected this year. THE URITIU 185 SHEFFEY FOOTBALL MANAGER John M. Sheffey, assistant manager of Randolph-Macon College football team, has been elected manager for 1923, and is already at work arranging the schedule for next year. John Terrell was elected president of the Freshman Class at Brenau. lDick Horner, the president of our Athletic Association last year, is now treasurer of the Freshman class at R.-M. C. , Texas is interesting to others besides Hallie, Newton Cal- laham has been transferred to Dallas, Texas, where he ex- pects to be located for several years. . It is doubly interesting to read The News when its con- tains accounts of our former students. An article was sent Special to The News stating that Lynchburg High School was well represented on the V. M. I. football team, since they have Costello and Faulkner starring for the team. Howard Jackson was also re-elected president of Sopho- more Class at V. P. I. ' ' The Library has been presented with a new book: The History of the U. S. S. Harrisonburg. It is very interesting to know that this book was presented to the Library by the author, Robert B. Holt, of the Class of '12. Elizabeth Dirom, Vice-President of the Honor League last year, is now a member of the Students' Council at Hollins. Watkins Black is attending V. M. I. this year.

A LOVE AFFAIR It was immediately after the party in a dark corner of the room. She snuggled closely in his arm as he fondly looked into her eyes. There they sat for a long time until he broke the silence by whispering, Darling, do you love me 3 She couldn't very well answer, for she was his two-year-old baby sister.-The Pilot.

WORK OR FIGHT A prim and proper young miss was much horrified on the street to iind a small six year old boy smoking a cigarette peacefully.

DISCRIMINATING VERDICT A countryman with a local reputation as a vocalist attended a dinner and was asked to sing. Although he had no music with him, and was as hoarse as a frog, he consented to try, but broke down. Never thee mind, lad, said an elderly guest, trying to cheer him upg never mind the breakdown, for thee's done thy bestg but th' fellow as asked thee t' sing ought to be shot. -Cumtux.
