We beheve in having an attentive eye, a hstening ear, a busy brain, in keeping the mind clear and bright, filling it with wholesome thoughts of life; in losing ourselves in useful industry. We believe in being worthy at all times; in having grim energy and resolute courage for the conquest of fear; in gaining confidence in our own ability. We believe in ser ice ; in doing kind deeds, thinking kind thoughts: in being strong, gentle, pure and good, steady, loyal and enduring We believe in re erence for truth; in humility; in great aspirations and high ambitions; in toiling ever upwards. We believe in cultivating the bright virtue or patriotism and the holy passion of friendship. We believe in studying hard, thinking quietly, talking gently, acting frankly; in listening to the winds, the trees, the stars, and the birds, to babes and sages with open heart; we believe in being glad, in lc ing all, in hating none; in doing all bravely, bearing all cheerfully, awaiting oc- casions, hurrying never. We believe in stiving to gam sound knowledge, not content simply to know, but determine to use knowledge for the highest purpose. We believe in Man and ' oman, in Cjod ' s unending love, and in the luture. 32 iSooU Cluo ®fje Clas;sies During our four years of college life wc have come to our Mother for help in straightening out perplexing tangles, for sympathy and advice in grave difficulties.

Neatness is another of her enviable qualities, yet she never verges on prissiness.

However, wt t came to seek our fortune and to win a place for rades to be. in the fall of 1914. We organized under Bruton, who made us an admirable President. At irdor were cooled by tears of homesickness — and the of our uneasiness in their presence they won a place entertained us royally and gave us the right hand of soon put away our childish fears and became Fresh- men indeed — so much so that on a cloudless night when all good children were in bed, dreaming of the pickaninny angels, a bevy of merry-faced girls crept by the watchman, and with lanterns and hearts aglow gathered around a little tree to adopt it as their own. With toasts and laughter, the minutes sped away. Soon, having thrown caution to the winds, the frolic ended, for the class song brought the faculty, who bundled them off to bed. Morning brought a visit to the Dean ' s office and a prelude of yells at breakfast from the Sophomores. Thus ended our debut to college life. The following year we again sought our college home. Though fewer in number we came with greater enthusiasm and whole-heartedness. for were we not old girls? — Were we not SOPHOMORES? Not satisfied with our inward feeling of greatness, we en- deavored to impress this important fact upon the unsympathetic world. Following the line of least resistance and thinking the Freshmen at a timid and impressionable age, we en- deavored to overawe them with our superior knowledge of life in general, and Sophomore- b;liip in particular. With becoming dignity, we donned the apparel of nurses and escorted our charges to the gym. In the enthusiasm of the moment we forgot our superiority and enjoyed the merriment even as much as they. During this time our college interests began to broaden and to seek outlet in wider channeis. Our courses of study began to hold our interest and the foundation of our ideals of scholarship took firm root. The athletic members of the class sought honor in the out- side field of action. How proud we were to win the championship in tennis and to feel the cup in our possession ! Irene Broome and Catherine Hubbard led us safely through this plastic period of our college life. No one knows the feeling of being a Junior until that happy lot is hers. The ensign of honor of that order is a spoon and the watchword is Junior ice cream. We saved up our nicklcs initil one moonlight night we whisked the Seniors away in automobiles, trying all the while to disguise our movements till we arrived at the Country Club for festivities. (.)ur greatest surprise for the guests was the jjresence of the beloved Mr. Bennett, our former luiglish professor. With the coming of spring our dramatic instinct craved freedom, . fter much fun and a little hard work, our secret, The Open Secret, was given. In it we became familiar with a cap and gown, whose presence was a prediction of coming Seniordom. Commence- ment came with its juys and tlowcrs, also the honor of marshaling. How proudly our 54 C n n™ f™3L r 3, C r- i J- Cg lin frs embruitlered tht- ' 18 upon tlu jj reen and white of our regalias. Vet it was with a feeling of sadness, too. fur uur little Chinese member. We Tsung Zung, left us to continue her studies at Smith College. We have missed her much, for hers was not a place easy to f ll. How gladly we returned in the fall of 1917 to welcome our new members! Our class was now a band of eighteen, with Marguerite Wilson as President. Student Government was our biggest ideal for the year; our hopes were for its firm establishment during our regime. We are proud of wliat we liave acctimplished, but we are appalled at the w ' ork that remains to be done. We have found our Senior privileges all that they are said to be. We give them gladly to the incoming class, for they were established as a safety valve through which our Senior dignity might escape. October twenty fourth, Liberty Day. was set apart as Senior Day. At chapel with loyal and patriotic hearts we gave two Lilicrty Bonds of the one hundred dollar denomina tion to the endowment fund of our college. One of the brightest influences of this year has been our congenial relation with our sister class, the Sophomores. Great was our surprise one night when we found ourselves the honor guests at a delightful Valentine party, where our past, present, and future were revealed. On account of her health, Edith Swinney. our Business Manager of llic Echo, had to leave us in this last half of our four years. We feel that commencement will not be com- plete without her. for she holds many warm corners in our hearts. As the days pass, bringing us nearer to the hour of our graduation and to the time of our final departure from our college home, our hearts are filled with a deeper love for our class mates, a keener appreciation of our Alma Mater, and a nobler impulse to accom- plish the tasks of the future, for we are fdled with the thought of our heritage, that the best of life is yet to be! 55 U LuJ U ' ' ' ' KUOSSIE DUNNV Greensboro.

' SEPTEMBER S, 1915, a crowd of Sophomores were strolling across the campus of G. C. W., gaily singing the latest popular song hit, When you are a long, long way from home. Their merriment re- called to the three girls sitting at the foot of the pine tree fond recol- lections, which carried with them pangs of sadness, and suddenly they began to weep heartbrokenly. This agitation brought the song to an abrupt end, and the singers hastened to comfort the disconsolate ones. They were Fresh- men, and in answer to sympathetic inquiries told the old, old story — Homesick. The old girls immediately appointed themselves a committee on the whole to show these new ones around ; they discovered ere long twenty-one unfamiliar people in college. These were piloted to the classification committee, and when the relieved newish proudly bore their cards from the room, they were again taken in hand. They were told not to worry over lessons, given a few instruc- tions on Darlings — in fact widely informed on all subjects; for which informa- tion the unsophisticated ones were humbly grateful. The older sisters were most kind, and the dear little girls did not realize they were being rushed for society. Then came the night of initiation, after which each maiden proudly bore away the colors of her choice. The excitement over, the girls needed something to help them along in their new life; so the twenty-one new girls organized the Freshman class with Miss Elizabeth Derickson as President. Thus the present Junior band first began to consider themselves a vital part of the College. In a few weeks, after our first meeting, we received an invitation which requested us to be dressed as little children on Saturday night, and a nurse (a Sophomore), would come to carry us to a party. On the appointed evening we met in the gym. where we had a delightful time playing in the sand-piles and dressing our dollies in real little-girl fashion. Then came Field Day with all its thrills; the greatest was the joy of win- ning the basketball game from the Juniors. After that, time was winged and ere long came Christmas holidays — and the first home going. January 2 found us back in College preparing for Exams., which we managed, in some way, to survive. After this storm and stress period, we finally settled down to the daily routine. Before this became too monotonous, a holiday dispelled our woes, and surely wc appreciated W ' asliington on that day more than ever before. When the year was nearly over, we held our last important Freshman meeting, and chose Miss Ernestine Lambeth as President for the coming year. The spring term Exams, were looming up, but they caused us very little anxiety ; we were too busy looking beyond them to commencement. The occa- sion was all we wished it to be. One of the most enjoyable events was the ••Mumnae play which gave us something of the history of the institution we were attending. September 6, 19Uj — Again at our Alma Mater — not homesick this time but so glad to be back that it was impossible to refrain from giving expression to our joy and the song most on our lips was, Dear G. C. Another outlet for our Superfluous energy was doing unto others as we had been done by; for weeks we were quite busy impressing the new girls with a sense of our importance. - h ! then we saw an opportunity to make ourselves forever a thing of great- ness in the eyes of the Freshmen. Remembering how seldom we were permitted to see John that first year in college we decided to dress as men when we enter- tained the Freshmen. Since men were mentioned in the invitations, each in- vited person was present on the eventful evening. The Sophs, proved to be truly a jolly bunch of flirts and succeeded in making the Freshies enjoy the novel experience. The wise ones discovered, about this time, that it they were to keep up their rep. they would have to get to work; so they did. Next came Field Day ; on this occasion the Sophomores starred in tennis. The greatest event of the year was on February 14 — when we were in- vited to a real Valentine party in town. Here we were served so many courses that we got back to the college Home barely in time to register. All went in to supper, but as soon as the blessing was asked rose in a body and marched out of the dining room. Thence we adjourned to the parlor to hold an uninterrupted .social gathering while all the other girls were dining on college fare. The Juniors entertained the Seniors on March 31 and kindly carried all the Faculty along to chaperone. On their return they discovered to their dismay that it was not wise to leave the younger children at home alone on the eve of .■ pril the first ; for while the cats were away the mice did play. Spring came again and sped swiftly away. Exams, over at last, and two years of our college course completed. Gone are the days when we were Freshies ; Sophomore wisdom too has forsaken us and we have come to the terrible realization that nothing will ever be exactly . s You Like It. Our English Prof, is altogether skeptical concern- 72 ing our studying; he thinks it truly Much Ado About Nothing. Even though we work till the Twelfth Hour of the night, our themes are not what he wishes. That teacher of English III thinks all our work a Comedy of Errors and nat- urally after so much Labor Lost our resentment reaches a height that is noth- ing short of a Tempest. However, about Exam, time, there was verily a Tam- ing of the Shrew ; for every Junior was busy cramming. Cousin William himself did not know much more about the Works of Shakespeare than we when the testing came. Ah! here we saw an opportunity to give our Prof. Measure for Measure. For two years we had been taking notes at such a rapid rate that we could hardly read them ourselves, after they were cold. In three hours ' time, we were quite capable of thrusting upon him all the intelligence we had acquired. He received stack upon stack of illegible note books. No doubt they contained knowled;je never before heard of. Our efforts were not all in vain for the entire English III class passed. The cry of humanity was heard on all sides, and the Juniors, anxious to do their bit. decided to give seventy-five dollars to the Students ' Friendship War Fund. As a means of making the money we sell ice cream three days every week. Mid-term Exams, over; for weeks the students attended nothing more ex- citing than lectures. The Juniors tiring of this monotony, and incidentally need- ing funds, planned a carnival. Truly every one renewed her youth that night, for all was youth, happiness, and gaiety. Ice cream cones, confetti and clowns were in abundance. The greatest attractions of the evening were the Freaks, Old Plantation Show, and the Fortune Teller who made a specialty of love affairs. The luniors believe m the three-fold development, and are not forgetting athletics. As we gradually approach the realm of dignity we no longer take a very active part in relay races, but in a less strenuous game, tennis, we have not yet been excelled and are still the proud possessors of the cup. Three years of our college preparation are almost over; as we approach nearer the brink of life we wonder what the future holds in store for us. 71 Junior Cla s; $oem As Freslimen we knew little Of the cares and trials of life; All knowledge, wisdom — lacking, Only fun and pleasures rife. We were green and fresh and foolish, We met cares with a grin ; A question mark, our symbol. For we were Freshmen then ! But how we spread our knowledge When Sophomores we became ! Intiinite was our wisdom And wide renowned our fame. A scholarly appearance, Great intellect within ; Even surpassing Solomon, For we were Sophomores then ! ! As Juniors we are wiser.

On that particular day. the air was unusually fresh, and the campus unusually green — all so in keeping with the fifty little Freshmen who climbed the hill to the Castle of Knowledge, little knowing the mysteries, the sorrows, the joys, and the hopes that awaited them there. As for the first few days of our Freshman existence, little is remembered besides the usual siege of homesickness, going before the Classification Committee, and meeting our first Senior. Really, scores of other important events did take place, but our tear-dimmed eyes did not see. However, with the passing of the first month, our awkwardness partly wore ofT, the Sophomores ceased to stare at us in wonder, and unconsciously, fifty young Freshmen began a new era in their life-history. With the aid of the Seniors, we soon organized ourselves and elected Louise Davis as our President. Then followed an unlimited number of called class-meetings, for already had our ambitious souls began to yearn to come into their own. The first social function in our honor, needless to say. was given by the V. W. C. A. Shall we ever forget that night, the second night after our arrival, when we paraded out to Fisher ' s Park? Shall we ever forget how we gazed at the stars with eyes dimmed by homesick-tears, the while trying to swallow ice cream cones, and bravely smiling through our tears? Next, we remember the society banquet with all the festivity of the evening, and with its well-spread tables which seemed to us as an oasis in a far-away desert. Then. Field Day. which we have an undisputed right never to forget, because it meant for us 22 points — the first time a Freshman class ever won. The next in importance came the Sopho- more-Freshman party, when the Sailor Lads. in their own words, tried to win the hearts of the bashful little F reshman lassies. Then Thanksgiving! And a month later the Christmas holidays ! The new year brought forth a new spirit, new tasks, and soon it was Field Day again, and again we came victoriously from the field. Then the spring holidays and once again, we were permitted to gaze upon the faces of mamma, papa, and John. The last and greatest feast of the entire term ended with the finals which beginning the 11th extended through the 23rd. And so ended our first our Freshman year, closing for some of us our literary distinction, opening for others of us a new path of glory, and leaving all of us the wiser, wisdom that would soon become necessary and intangible to our next title of distinction — Wise Fools ! So September brought us back again, transformed into Sophomores under the lead- ership of our new President, Naomi Howie. Seventeen of our number had dropped out. but our class was strengthened by the addition of Nellie Muse, Ruby Spencer, Blanche Erwin, and Mary Wilson — all enthusiastic workers. In order not to disappoint the Freshmen, we immediately assumed the responsibility of our inheritance, and for a while we walked about the campus as though we owned it. tried to make the Freshmen feel just how green they were, commented at all times, upon all things, upon the slightest provocation, and spent the remainder of the time writing themes for English II. However, we soon found out that Sophomore life was not all fun. and from then on, we have condescended to hang upon our doors a little card on which is printed simply: Busy Please! This year, too, has brought its social functions and good times. In s] ite of war times, we enjoyed the usual society reception, a V. W. C. A. social, several class entertainments, and our own masquerade party for the Freshmen. Field Day gave us still more athletic distinction, for we won twenty-five points, and statistics made one of our members the best athlete in school. This day also witnessed the birth of our class mascot — the Jabberwock. The latest and greatest social triumph was our party given to the Seniors, our sister class, on the night of February sixteenth which remained a profound secret till the very last, in spite of darkening clouds of fear caused by our half-sisters. .iMl in all. the year has been one of success and promise. It has drawn us closer to love and friendship. It has given us delights intermingled with serious work and streinious duties, and has created a bond of class unity that is likely never to be broken. 78 iiiimiiiiiiinuiimjiiiiiiniiimiiiwiniiimiiniiiiJiniiiiiiiiiimiinuiiiimuniimm 03 Jf reiSfjman Clafig Aldine O ' Nkil , Le:i.ia Humble Lucas Johnson ....

Vice-President; Maurine Brittain, Secretary, and Marjorie Worsham, Treasurer, the plans for Field Day were mapped out under the general super- vision of Miss Clark. While much praise is due the .Association Officers, Miss Meredith Clark stood foremost in the work and, To her belongs all praise and honor That our tongues can raise. April 23, 1917, was appointed Field Day and as the event approached great was the excitement. On the morning of that memorable day each girl came forth at 6:30 with a shining morning face to witness the tennis doubles between the Sophomores and Freshmen. The score 6-1, does not begin to tell the tale. It does not begin to show the superiority of the Sophomores, Finestein and Worsham, over the Freshman team. In the singles the Sophomores were also victorious. Finestein winning over Bowen with a score of (y-2 and 6-3. The victory of the Seniors over the Freshmen, in basketball, was perhaps due to their dignity. The victory of 19-7 was won so easily that it seemed like taking candy from a baby; but when the points of the various classes were added up it was found that the afore- said babies headed the rest. Morris won first place for the Freshmen in the circle dash ; Burton. Senior, took the second place, while Musgrove won the third for the Sophomores. In running for grace and ease the Seniors took the lead Bruton carrying away first honors. Harrell won first place in walking for grace and ease for the Juniors. Freshie Morris did the best vaulting, so rnnning up the score of the Freshmen. In the relay race th ey were also successful, and were the proud winners of the banner wiiich Professor Nicholson grace- fully presented them. The ne.xt feature was the beautiful scene of crowning Miss Nell Davis as May Queen. Following tliis was a number of folk songs and dances and this ended the program of the day. For the school year 1917-18 the association launched out under a new set of officers: Marjorie Worsham, President; Ernestine Lambeth. ' ice-Prcsident ; X ' erdie Trollinger. Sec- retary, and Louise Davis, Treasurer. During the weeks preceding November 2(1. 1917, the tciniis :md basketball courts were filled with girls practicing for Field Da ' , an l every afternoon the track team practiced for about an hour. The gym. classes were not to be left out and each class was kept busy practicing folk dances. For several nights before Field Day any unusual noise was attributed to some class spirit and if a girl was so unfortunate as to hear any of these sounds, she 110 tried immediately to lose lierself in slumber, lest some unfriendly spirit should glide in and trouble her with an unwelcome visit. At last the day dawned cloudy and cold, but there was no rain and the arranged schedule was carried out. The Seniors began by winning the tennis doubles from the Juniors by a score of 2-0. The Seniors playing were Hubbard and Brittain, the Juniors, Worsham and Holshouser. The basketball game was next, in which the Sophomores won over the Freshmen by a score of 24-6. No doubt the presence of the Jabberwock. the Soph ' s animal, aided them. He was a huge animal, quite large enough to frighten the Freshmen who had only left home about two months before. The tennis singles took place amid much rooting, ringing of bells and blowing of horns. The Sophomores felt called upon to uphold the record they had made in basketball, but the Juniors had a say so in the matter and Worsham (Junior), triumphed over Spencer in a very close game. In walking for speed, Erwin (Sophomore), won; Reeves (Senior), following close upon her heels. Morris. (Sophomore), acknowledged to be the best all round athlete was voted the best vaulter, Hubbard (Senior), the next and Snow, (Junior), third. In walking for grace and ease Harrell won the first place for the Seniors and Lam- beth the second for the Juniors. The Freshmen came out victorious in the circle dash. Hum- ble ran for the Freshmen ; Brittain, Senior, won second place and Faison, Sophomore, won third ; Lambeth, Junior, won the first place in running for grace and ease. Brittain and Long winning second and third place for Seniors. The Sophomores won the relay race, tlie h ' reshmen coming second. Fortune, a friend of the Jabberwock, must have been favorable to the Sophs, for when the points were added the Sophs, had 25, Seniors 21, Juniors 18, Freshmen 13. The drills by the different gym. classes were all good but the judges decided the flag drill to be the best. Thus ended the 1917 season. To our officers, our coach, our players all praise is due.

The highest honors of Field Day have again been carried off by the Freshman class, the number of points which they won be- ing 29. They won first place in the dash, relay, and vaulting, and several second and third places added to their points. To the Seniors fell the most desired victory of all — basketball. They can graduate now with peaceful minds, for their team has shown what it can do. They also deserve special mention in vaulting, running and walking. The Juniors took first place in walking, both for speed and grace and ease. The Sophomores directed all their energy to tennis, in which they carried off first place in both singles and doubles. Their player, Bessie Finestein, has held the championship for the entire year. Tlie heroine of the day, regardless of class, was Freshie Morris. She broke all records in running, as well as distinguishing hers elf along most of the other lines. JfiElb Bap, Moiimbtr 24t|), 1917 Beware the Jabberwock, my child ! The Sophomore class, inspired by their class animal, a huge purple Jabberwock, won the largest number of points on Field Day. The Seniors, their sister class, made the second place in points, doubtless due to the fact that the Jabberwock allowed them to rub his head, but the Juniors and Freshmen, being out of his favor, were rather unfortunate. A very beautiful and enjoyable feature of the day was the folk dances. As a climax to the dances of other nationalities came the flag drill, which was adjudged the most artistic. 121 PQQCS C C GQCsD ' lloU) amESi are l on Uh ' IS! Uh ' 18! Oh ' 18! Oh ' 18!

Morfe of tlje tutientsi !llsgociation I ' THE BEGINNING of the fall term of the year 1917-18. the Stu- dents ' Association of Greensboro College found itself facing a grave -wjy yjj responsibility, that of successfully launching student government. £jfe The President of the Association, with the co-operation of a temporarily appointed Student Council, the Executive Committee of the Association, and an advisory committee from the Faculty, worked long and hard to frame a constitution for student government. A satisfactory document was finally framed, and was adopted March fourth. In the meantime, the Association busied itself with other afjfairs. Early in the fall the students enthusiastically organized an auxiliary to the Greensboro Chapter of the American Red Cross. This was done following a called meeting of the Association, which was addressed by representatives from the Greensboro chapter. Mrs. D. Blair, and Mrs. H. D. Blake. Our Second Vice-President, Miss Jessie Reeves, was made chairman of the organization and she has kept the girls working busily, knitting, sewing, and making bandages. On October 22nd the Association presented a Liberty Bond of $100 de- nomination to the college, to be added to the endowment fund. When the matter of food conservation became so strongly agitated the Association immediately passed resolutions to the efifect that it would co-operate with the (tovernment in saving food, especially sugar, fats, and flour. That these resolutions were more than mere idle words was proved when, after some months of trial, the Treasurer of the college came before the students to report the result of ilu-ir etTort Among other interesting items, he said that they had saved per nKinlli 4(10 pounds of wliite flour. ,5.S,S pounds of ])ork, and 1( 9 pounds of fat. The celebration of George Washington ' s birthday by the Association this year differed widely from those of former years. Instead of an entertainment, a great number of students spent the morning in making bandages and compresses for the Red Cross. Altogetlur 1017- ' 18 has been a busy, haiii y, and profitable year.

' 18 154 Wi)at a Constancp in ILobc ? Love is either an accident or an unfortunate state of mind. To promise constancy in love is to promise continuance in that state of mind over which the will has no control. It is never an honest promise, it is merely an honest hope. Love comes and goes ; no man can stay it and no man is its prophet. Coming unasked, sometimes undesired, often unwelcome, it goes without reason, without logic, as inexorable as its cause, governed by those laws which no man has yet understood. Anon. QCfjr SCruant HoberS ' Twas almost dusk, and in the distance the flaming colors of the sunset slowly changed to paler hues. A soft, gentle breeze stirred the green and yellow boughs, and sifted the odor of the sumac ' s bloom in the fresh spring air. But- terflies winged silently and gracefully in the spectral shadows, and a thrush sang his evening song from the lilac bushes. One by one the myriad stars appeared in the fading west, and flecks of white clouds began to float and to rise to infinite heights. Somewhere in the distance a cow lowed and little bells tinkled ; and clearly there came the deep toned golden chimes of the nearby college chapel bell. There seemed to be a gentle tranquility, abundance, and unfolding of nature over every thing for the mere sake of love, youth and spring. Most vivid in this glorious picture, however, were two young lovers, plainly silhouetted against the paling west. Tenderly she leaned against him, tenderly he caressed and received her to his manly bosom, but still more tenderly did stand upon the uncertain twigs and tangled branches for was an eaves- dropper — a thief! Long had 1 stood there and watched them — but dull would be the soul that could pass by a sight so touching in its majesty. She seemed so young, he so sturdy, both so truant and unaware of the spying college-president. The evening, the spring, the golden sunset, all seemed made expressly for this amorous pai ' - and there came to my mind Tennyson ' s lines : In the Spring a livelier iris Changes on the burnished dove ; In the Spring a young man ' s fancy Lightly turns to thoughts of love. As the night breeze grew cooler, she drew closer to him, he enfolded her in his arms, and their lips touched. Carefully, I leaned nearer to catch their whis- pered vows of eternal love, and then — a fatal twig broke under my foot, so frightening the loving pair of robins that they flew away, leaving me alone in the darkness of the gathering night. Mary Lily Cox, ' 20 155 TLitt ' s illinglrb Cup lUiiily . ;■■« Sil,-r Sail! Joy, I claim this child as mine. And she shall never borrow Your ashen robes in which to walk By your side, thorn-crowned Sorrow. I ' ll thrill her voice with gladness sweet And fin her eyes with shining.

Are those who clasp hands close with me In days when heaven is hidden. And, deep, deep taught of Pain the Strong, Go forth to bless unbidden. Let us together teach this child That life hath deepest meaning To him who yields himself to Love. And moves straight through the seeming Tangled maze of human years . -hearing Love ' s high story.

You ' ll ruin it. Why! the very idea of throwing rubbers all over a white evening dress. Well, I can ' t help it. gasped Helen as she franticallv threw a chafing dish in the trunk, on top of the offending rubbers. Didn ' t vou hear Mrs. Silcr say that the trunks would be earned to the new building immediately after breakfast? Oh, mv ! There ' s that eight-thirty bell now. I ' ll have to go on class and— Oh ! where did I put my trunk key? Why don ' t you help me find it? 1 know I shall go crazy if— Why, here it is right in the key-hole of my trunk. Good-bye, and Helen rushed to her class while poor Mildred groaned as she con- tinued neatly to |)ack her trunk. In fact, Helen ' s excitement was well grounded. This was a great dav in the annals of old G. C. W. Are you going to take a cut today, Myrtie? asked Mildred as she Inirriid to Mrs, Siler ' s office to get permission to take hers. Cuts! What for? Silly — to move of course. M-o-v-c, she slowly repeated as the meaning of the word dawned upon her. Well, I reckon I am. I have just been wondering how I would get all my things over there Mil- dred, you ' re a bright kid anyway. As they neared the Dean ' s office they heard her speaking in clear, firm tones to the girls who had congregated around her desk. My dears, this is entirely unnecessary. No cuts whatsoever can be taken today in order to give you time to move. But-er-er, chimed in Marie. 1 am sorry, dear, but 1 can not allow such foolishness. Now go to your classes and move this afternoon. This is Monday and you have the whole afternoon, it would be use- less to have any more time. Thus dismissed th e girls reluctantly went to their respective classes. However it was decided that the moving should begin after lunch. They hurried through lunch, and in- stead of loitering in the halls, as they usually did. they rushed to their rooms, pulled pen- nants from the walls, dumped toilet articles in waste-paper baskets, threw the last minute articles into a ' runk which had been packed for days — had it not been so heavy it would probably have been pulled by feminine hands all the way across the campus, up the steps, and into the pretty rooms in the new building — searched the closet for anything which might have been forgotten, and rushed back and forth in wild confusion. In the midst of the hurry and tumble, a masculine figure stalked into the hall. Is this trunk ready? he asked stopping before 213. Oh-o-o no. I forgot to put in Mary ' s picture, and this box of rouge. Please wait a minute — here are just oodles of things I thought were in there long ago, said Helen to the somewhat impatient janitor. By this time other girls had picked up bundles of things, and started over to the new dormitory. Elsie Lee with two hats thrown on her head, dresses around her neck, a chafing dish under one arm was helping Madge carry a window box, while Madge under her free arm carried a blue-bird screen. Further down the hall was Blanche. In her arms she car- ried a huge box, and one might have supposed it was a new-fangled music-box by the sounds it was producing, but it was only the perfume bottles, the cold cream jars, and the other beautifiers clashing together. Rushing down the steps at break neck speed, Mary passed the other girls. 157 That ' s about the fattest girl I ever saw. Who in the world is she? Shep, someone replied. Xever — too big ! Well I reckon it is me too, replied Mary who was now down the steps; I couldn ' t carry all these dresses and coats so I thought the best way would be to put them on. Tumble, tumble, tumble — a laundry bag rolled down the steps. ■ ' Here— there— please stop that bag. All my pictures and everything are in it, and they will be broken to pieces. wailed Lelia as she saw her beloved bag roll on and on until it reached the bottom. If I ever have to move again I ' m going to leave school. moaned Nellie who was struggling under the burden of two suitcases in one hand, a wicker chair in the other, and two sofa pillows balanced on her head. When this moving carnival reached the new dormitory some one upon second floor yelled there ' s a mouse. Terror stricken, each individual threw down her bundle, and sought the highest place in reach. Scattered lay the unnoticed treasures of the different girls — so near and yet so far from being moved. Marg. ret M. rtin.

Do you question the Infinite Pow-er In selecting the tests you must meet? In the pressure of each heavy hour Docs the solace of silence seem sweet? Are there days fraught with infinite measures Of yearning for things held so dear? In the center of heart ' s rarest treasures Does a distasteful image appear?

' I ' ve a great mind not to trv any longer to find out where that aunt of nrne lives 1 don ' t care if she is ' worth a million dollars and expected to die «ion, 58684— 58463— dog gone it! I ' m going to take a chance at this being the right place. If isn ' t, I guess I ' ll find out soon enough. Thus Fr d Morton raved, while trying to remember the long number on the hoiise where his aunt lived. He took off his hat and smoothed his hair, which was damp with perspiration, then pulled out a colored silk handkerchief and wiped the perspiration from his forehead. He next pulled his vest down and pushed his coat, slightly back in order to show off a new frat-pin ; shook both legs violently to get the crease back m his trousers. He would have given one the impression that he was an ardent lover ready to visit his fair one with the question all formed. . . Morton marched up the steps and rang the dorr bell as if he was ringing at the Golden Gate and expected to be turned away immediately. -r, . Instantly from within shouts arose. Before Morton could turn and run. I he door was flung open and four children ran out and pulled him inside, dancing and jumping in a most excited manner. ... ■, . na Cousin Fred, we thought you ' d never come, why we ve waited and uwti-d. V nere is mother? Oh, I forgot she was to go on to the reception. Come right on in. With the ' e words the oldest one pulled him into a sitting-room, and told him to sit down. Thev would come back in a little while to show him their playthings. Poor ' Morton was perfectly astounded. He could not get a chance to ask them who they were nor any of the other questions a fellow likes to ask when he isn ' t sure of himself. As the children ran out, the following thoughts came to him. Where am I? Why the chil- dren? Mother did not say there were any children. They called me Cousin Fred and that s what I ' d be to her children. My name is certainly Fred, I haven ' t forgotten that. What have I got myself into? , i- i i While such thoughts were running through Fred ' s mind, a slight rustle made him look up. That which greeted his anxious eyes made him forget instantly that he had a thing in the world to worry about. ■ ■ .i, A beautiful girl, the very prettiest Morton had ever seen— surely the prettiest in tne world, he thought. She had on a lacy pink dress, which made her look hke a fairy, sent down by the Goddess of Love to take his troubles away. Such eyes ! She seemed to look down into his pounding heart; and yet there was a mischievous twinkle about them, bhe was smiling and the pearliest white teeth showed between two of the rosiest lips he had Morton took all these things in, and many more, at one glance. To tell the truth he was hypnotized. But a few minutes later he realized that he was acting more like one escaped from a lunatic asylum, than a much adored quarter-back on Fischer s Varsity toot- ball team. , . , .c n u I—er— a— believe there ' s some mistake, he said, wanting to kick himself all the while for acting such a fool. , n  ji No, I don ' t guess thev wrote you about me. I came home from college unexpectedly and I guess thev just mentioned the ones that were to be at home. I think it s so odd that we ' ve never se ' en each other before, don ' t you? She accompanied this little assuring speech with a most bewitching smile which made Morton care little whether he was in the right or wrong place. At anv rate it was the right place for the time being. You know I thought vou were a good deal older. You see mother said you were a Senior at Fishers and engaged to Irene John, but you don ' t look like an engaged man to me at all. 159 Morton realized now that there was some one else named Fred who was expected. He ought to explain it all and get out right away. It gave him a sinking feeling about his heart. He knew he did not want to do it, and there came a great temptation to carry it on out to the end. He yielded. They sat on the davenport and were soon engaged in conversation about their col- leges. She knew some girls who were real good friends of his, and some of his frat-mates were beaux of some of her very best friends. They were so interested in discussing the last love-afifair of Henry Long ' s, and how the boys had cured him of it, that they did not hear a car stop in front of the house nor even the door bell ring. It was the third ring, very long and rather impatient, which finally brought them back to earth. Poor Morton hit with a thud for he remembered that he was acting the part of a lucky cousin who was probably ringing the door bell at the instant. Clotilde jumped up and ran to open the door. Morton looked around for some way of escape. It was too late. Hello. Cousin Clotilde, I suppose this is you. My train was four hours late, just my rotten luck of course. Your mother left the chauffeur to bring me up, and she went on to a reception. What in the world is the matter with me? were the words which fell upon the ears of the other Fred, awaiting his doom inside. What should he do? But Cousin Fred has already come. I don ' t exactly understand. Come here Fred and see what is the matter with this man. Morton went. His knees were playing Home Sweet Home, and his head felt as if it were spinning around at the rate of forty-five miles per hour. Great Scots! are you the one? Why, hello there, old Mort.. you look sick. I am the same Fred Madden that I was before you left and please explain why you are calling on my fair cousin, and never breathed to me that you knew her. Morton had hopes now. He swallowed hard three times and said, Come on in here and I ' ll try to explain it all. Clotilde had a very puzzled look on her face. She did not understand it. And you aren ' t my real cousin at all, and I ' ve been sitting up here talking to some one I don ' t even know! Mercy on me what would Mrs. Siler say? No de ' — M ' am, you see I ' m not your cousin Fred, but that Fred over yonder is the lucky fellow, ' ou would not give me a chance at first to find out whether it was a mistake or not. Then after I found out, I didn ' t care to tell you because 1 knew I ' d have to leave. Really it wasn ' t my fault, my name was Fred and I was looking for an aunt of mine; the children and then you seemed to be expecting me. Well, such a mix-up. I guess it was my fault though, I always do draw conclusions too quickly. I can ' t say I ' m sorry it happened, for I have had a grand time. ' Cousin Fred threw back his head and laughed an understanding laugh. Well, little cos, he ' s a pretty nice fellow. Vou see his pin, do you not? That brands him O. K. I really believe all this happened rather — er, providentially. I might say. Morton blushed, not at the compliment, nor the other part of the speech, hut rather at the idea of how the boys up at Fischers would tease him about such an episode. Well I ' d better leave you two cousins here together and move on, said Morton. No, please stay. the other two pleaded. Yes 1 must go on and find that aunt of mine. I ' ve changed my mind about not want- ing any of that million dollars. (The last remark was made to himself). He received an invitation to come again and it is needless to sav that he did go quite often. As a result when Clotilde went hack to G. C. W. she had a much prized frat-pin her friends Lrlia Ihtwhlc.

I envy the polar bear, not his environment, but his skin. Yet in this bright sunny room whence one looks out upon trees in naked integrity lifting grateful branches toward a blue, blue sky, one is almost ashamed to be warm and comfortable when countless men, women and children contend with nature ' s inhospitality and may find it hard to believe in infinite love. A good many girls are staying from churcli today, and some teachers. Those who risk slippery streets for duty ' s sake will doubtless have their reward in warmed hearts and uplifted spirits. A girl in Fitzgerald Hall reports a water pipe burst in her room and hot water flooding the floor. What a waste of hot water, exclaimed some in the Main Building who have no early prospect of hot water at all, owing to Jack Frost ' s holiday freaks with the pipes. Alas! for the ravages of civilization upon man ' s primeval independence ! The morning paper tells of a snow-bound Chicago with no trains operat- ing and passengers in the station sleeping on their baggage. Colder still the news from Russia : the Bolsheviki yielding to the German pressure and entering upon parleying for jjeace separate from her allies who followed her into this war. Ugh ! what a shiver the great Russian bear gives one with his mingled rage and help- lessness ! I ofttimes wonder what God thinks of his world. 1 do know that he loves it and I thank him for that. We have a memorial service tonight for Dr. Byrd. Fve been thinking much about him today. Among all the tributes paid him from many sources I know of none more beautiful than the closing sentence in an article in The Ashe- ville Times: Farewell, friend of man! It lias been good to walk along the road a bit beside you. E A. S. Monday, January 14. When I opened my eyes this morning, I realized that this was Monday morning and that the week ' s work was beginning in dead earnest. There was not a moment to tliink what to do first ; only time to rush through a hasty toilet and bolt to breakfast. Examinations are upon us. Not simply peeping around the corner but bearing down upon us with the passing of each moment. Physics — nothing can compare with my dread when I think of it. If I pass this course I shall never worry about anything else. I go to sleep at night to dream I am a bubble slowly rising in my bed of sulphuric acid, while my head aches with my increasing olunie. Yet a gleam of comfort has come to me for the Ouija board 161 f™ predicts that I shall pass. What pleasures it has brought to us ! With our sym- pathetic touch and persuasive words it entertains comforts and whiles away the dreadful moments. To our questions concerning the weather, war and other people ' s lovers it answers with equal swiftness, while we hang over it at first doubtful, then be- tween two opinions, finally when it tells exactly what we wish we become fully converted. If it tells tlic truth about physics I will become a believer, if not as the poem goes : Nothing can make it, and the Devil take it. M. M. B. Tuesday, January 15. January tlie fifteenth could not be called very dififerent from the other days at Greensboro College. As to the weather, it has been cloudy and cool. The reci- tation bells rang as usual, there was no startling news from the outside world, no one fainted, and not a single khaki-clad figure was seen striding up the walk. F ut 1 did see a girl do an act of kindness, I did see some one helped over a rougli place by a sympathizing hand, and 1 heard some sisterly advice given and gladly accepted. And did I not hear a girl call another snobbish and the so-called snob turn around smiling and the two walk otT as friends? I am sure things happen every day and that one need not search very hard to find some one helping another. Today I have learned of the many little acts done right here in our college that bring the joy of making someone else Iiappy. M. S. JDo It ilott) Today cries. My wings are swift. Is there work?

DEFINITION OF A BLUSH A blush is a temporary erithema and calorific effulgence of the physiognomy aetolo- gised by the pe rceptiveness of the sensorium. in the predicament of inequilibrity, from a sense of shame, anger, or other cause, eventuating in a paresis of the face — motorial. mus- cular filaments of the facial capillaries, where by being divested of their elasticity, they be- come suffused with a radiance, emanating from an intimidating praecerdia. 179 An idle pupil seldom escapes temptation because she is so careful not to let any temptation escape her. A teacher who has a pupil that causes her exasperation should not shed tears; she should shed the pupil. When a professor rails against the incompetence of students in general, it is a sure sign of newness: a confirmed teacher is too indifferent on the subject to be bitter about it. From the student ' s point of view, it would seem — Knowledge comes but must not linger. It may be possible to patch up a neglected lesson, hut the darned places will always rub even if they don ' t show. After a teacher has been exposed to crying several times it ceases to move him — except to move him out of the room. When you hear the excuses that some students bring to the class room, you realize how they must hate to work. It ' s a wise teacher who knows how little he knows about his own pupils. Don ' t think your students have ceased to work because they have begun to offer excuses; it ' s when they stop taking the trouble to excuse themselves that you have -real grounds for suspicion. It is usually a sad shock to the vocal instructor when the student, after having been told to watch him closely and imitate him exactly, in an effort to gain a high note emits sounds suggestive of the strangling of a cow. There is nothing quite so easy for a student as forgetting — especially what she never ccnew. A student ' s ideal course is the ' one she didn ' t take. A new student is a mysterious chemical combination ; add work and you never know what she will turn into. It is always a shock to a teacher when she finds that the notes taken by the student from her brilliant lectures are carelessly thrown on the table between the latest fashion magazine and today ' s moving picture ad. Some students rise to recite with the same grace and alacrity that they would display in climbing a barbed wire fence. A girl will sit on the edge of her bed and dream for half an hour over the latest letter from John ; and then send her room-mate into nervous prostration — and. later, the in- structor into hysterics — because she has only five minutes left in which to write her theme. Some students are born for work; some achieve work; and some live in the deadly fear that work -s going tu be thrust upon them. When a student claims that circumstances have prevented her from doing the work assigned, it is pretty safe to conclude that Circumstances grades more closely than you do. Train up a Freshman in the way she should go — and then when she ' s a Sophomore, watch her depart from it. A Professor ' s surprise at thi; calmness with which his pupil receives the announce- ment that she has flunked his course, is only equalled by his astonishment at her hysteria when her commencement dress does not equal that of her room-mate. Some student ' s sense of duty is so peculiar that it gets out of working order the min- ute she comes near a good time. A student need not swear at the teacher ; she can always shut the door so that it sounds just like a damn! The teacher whose class contains the college beauty soon learns that a thing of beauty is not necessarily j(jy forever. VL )t tubent pjilofiopfji eg Many a girl considers herself a heroine until she strives to reason with her music teacher. A good teacher may be the salt of the earth, but he often seems more like the pepper. There never was a teacher so small that she couldn ' t look down on a six-foot pupil with an amazing air of loftiness. The kind of student that some teachers are looking for is one that can practice her piano exercise with one hand, write a theme with the other, study Sociology with all her mind, gracefully quoting Browning the while. A girl who devotes her college life to book-learning and cuts out all else, soon learns that she has been eating the bread of life without any jam on it. It isn ' t the professor who is willing to make you stay up late to work for him. but the one that is willing to get up early to coach you, that you ought to waste your powder on. It ' s often not so much the understanding of the game of basketball that wins the match game, but the understanding of the players. College courses are like the pictures in the anti-fat ads — so different before and after taking. When a student tells a teacher that she is sorry her work isn ' t done, she doesn ' t mean that she is sorry she didn ' t do it, but that she is sorry he found it out. The sad patient smile that one often sees on the face of a conscientious student may not come so much from over work as from a daily effort to listen to her teacher ' s latest joke. The Sophomore reading — Joy cometh in the morning! — Well, all I ' ve got to say is — he never took Knglish II. After all each college course has its uses — even if it ' s only as an excuse for not com- ing up on the assignment in some other course. There are some music teachers who regard their pupils ' accomplishments with the same patronizing complacency that they feel toward the tricks of the trained monkey at the zoo. Some students smile when a teacher declares she knows her own mind — and wonder why she seems so proud of the acquaintance. If only the music of the spheres was loud enough to drown the din that comes from the practice rooms ! When a teacher discovers that a pupil knows more about some subjects than she does, it strikes her dumb — but not with admiration. The hardest part about the third or fourth excuse is to remember what story you told the professor last time. Flatter a professor a little and he will admire you; flatter him too much and he will soon begin to wonder why such a combination of Paul, Plato and Solomon ever wastes his time in instructing such a little ignoramus as you. Students and instructors may meet in heaven — but some of them won ' t if they see each other first — or if the Sophomores can prevent it. To keep a teacher interested in your work for him deal it out to him in homeopathic doses ; one only wants more of anything that one cannot get enough of. Some teachers, remember, don ' t demand common sense from their pupils; they pre- fer incense. Alas that the studying fever should so often be followed by a chill! The poet who sang of woman ' s infinite variety never taught a Senior; had such been the case he would somewhere have found a more comprehensive term. There is nothing which falls with such a dull, sickening thud on a teacher ' s vanity as the dead silence of the class after he has told one of his most sparkling and witty jokes. 181 1 i I-j ' ilJ L™ JEST ER LAUGH!

He had not once suspected She never had expected Her true love to be a swell. He had always been respected By her Pa who had inspected And had found him standing well. His merits were collected, His finances dissected — What the sum was, none could tell. But the lady was infected With desires to have perfected The man who to her fortune fell. And .she instantly rejected This lover so dejected Because he didn ' t kiss well! ! LOVE LIMERICKS vrit by G. C. girls to their Darlings ODE TO MY OWN CRUSH Like the deep blue of the ocean Are her dreamy, starry eyes ; Like a whisper sent from heaven Are her soft and gentle sighs. Like the blush of autumn roses Are her cheeks of velvet down ; Like the smile of goddess Venus Is her all-entrancing frown. Like the crimson-colored rambler Are her coral lips so sweet — Oh, she ' s nothing but a jewel From her head down to her feet. A CO NFESSION It ' s awful to be lonesome, It ' s awful to be blue ; It ' s awful to be crying When you ' ve lots of work to do. But naught can stop the flowing Of this salty, gushing stream Save the coming of my lady — The lady of my dream. 185 iJCOC C CSGOCZ) THE SCIENTIFIC REASON WHY GEORGE WASHINGTON CUT DOWN THE CHERRY TREE If the predicament of theoretical phrenology demonstrate objectivism in the abnor- mal palpitation of the obstructionists, we desire to panegyrize the parliamentarian, who brought about the approachment of the sanguineous rapscallion and the ultramonist whose sensibility is questionable untrogression of the permitable cranium. On the other hand, a pandemonium prevalent possibly in paleontology might result in objurgatory obnoxiousnejs observable only on obstreperous observation, where the un- mesmatist. noticing neither neodynium. negotiability nor nebulous necromancy, commemo- rates the geodsv of the generalism and with unpresonistic unpregnability and familiar fan- faronade elrocates the determinative cuneiform by connotation of the banderilla or the asperinous arborescence.

For a Might Have Been has never been, But a Has was once an Are. 187 V sft.,, ; ' ' THE CROSSED FINGERS He swore that her kiss was the first he had had; But his fingers were crossed ! He vowed that not only he ' d ne ' er had a taste Of quivering lips, but that no other waist Had ever been clasped by his arm. Then in haste His two fingers he crossed ! The sparkler he gave her he ' d purchased that day But his fingers were crossed ! No previous maiden had worn it — nay, nay! But his fingers were crossed! And never, so long as his life should endure, Would eye, cheek, or Hp of another maid lure — He knew it — past every doubt he was sure — But his fingers were crossed I She listened to all of the guflf he had said While his fingers were crossed! She laid on his bosom her wise little head While his fingers were crossed I She answered so low that the famed little bird Who peddles sweet secrets could scarcely have heard As she breathed, Oh, my love. I believe every word ! But HER fingers were crossed!! — Selected MY EVENING STAR As I He here at night on my little white bed And gaze at the stars that shine overhead. I think of my crush, so near yet so far — The hght of my life, my bright evening star. The star o ' er my head seems to twinkle and glow With a glorious light ; it seems to bestow A sweet benediction upon me just now. And offers repose to my hot, fevered brow. So I doze off to sleep on my little white bed While visions of crushes float by o ' er my head. And I dream and I hope, and I long and I pine For a sure-nuff monopoly on that crush of mine. 188 -L , SHORT! SHORTER! SHORTEST!! Half an inch, half an inch. Half an inch shorter!

Come the short-skirted. Flashed all their ankles there; Flashed as they turned in air! What will not women dare? (Though the exhibits show Some of them blundered!)
