Now my whole story depends on where I awoke -Y-hence, let me lose no time in def scribing it. Those of you who are familiar with Birmingham must know that there is one suite Cblessed by the godsj with a porchfbecause of which it is called the Porch Suite. It was on this porch that I was sleeping when I awoke. This porch is high among the tops of trees, of great number and variety in general and two larches in particular. The night was dark because of the low wind which blew clouds across the face of the moon. This same wind softly tossed the branches of the trees up and down, producing the low, moaning effect which had wakened me. Qnce awake, I could not go to sleep again, and I had begun to imagine all sorts of weird things, when what should come to my ear --Qthis, I'm quite sure, was not imaginationj but the sound of soft voices. Astonished, I raised myself upon my elbow and looked at the other three beds, but those were silent white blots in the dark' ness. Then I heard the voices again. This time I found that they were coming from the two tall larches in front of Iviain Hall. I listened closely and the windy voices continued. This is what I heard: This is a fine windy night- does your limbs good to be tossed about a bit, said the first. Oh, I don't knowf' replied the second, When one's stood rooted here for as many years as we 'about iiftyff- oneis boughs are apt to creak when blown about. Have your own way,'l said the first, at any rate it's a fine night to talkfi 'kYes, 'tis indeed, do you remember . . After this, Cproperly indicated by the dotsj followed a stream of reminiscences, in which I clearly heard mentioned everything from bustles and leg' o'mutton sleeves to boyish bohs. Having passed the ancient talk of boyish bobs, I began Fiftyfeight IIT:-1E PINE NEEDLE ll I x to listen closely and, sure enough, I heard familiar names mentioned and Hnally those of our entire class of 1931-. Naturally, it is interesting to hear what trees think about one, sol listened even more closely. Do you remember when, in 1928, there came six green Freshmen to these hills? said the first. The second interrupted, Oh yes, yes, there was Mary Brady, jolly and full of fun and whom we loved for her kindness to 'Grandma' Moulton, Trix Kyle, who was then bashful and afraid, but who developed into a valiant leader, Peg Taylor, who showed a growing interest in the opposite sex, Jane Spanjer, one day on the heights and the next sunk in the depths, and Louise Sommer, a quiet little Knot literally usedj mouse, those were the Fresh' men. Then in their Sophomore year, they were joined by four others who proved themselves worthy additions. Libby Wilson, steady and dependable always, her friend, Eleanor Groh, always doubting her own power but showing others what she could do 'in school and on playing held,' Carol Rosenfeld, who immediately became attached to Miss Brewster, and Eleanor Wintringer who showed her friendliness and good humor at once. With these the Class of '31 proceeded on its way. The first tree took up the story: The next year twenty girls came to join the Class. Anne Byers showed her smiling face among the first to come. I remember Anne as one of the gamiest sports who ever graced these walls. There were julie and Katrine, laughing and romping through the year, and loved by all. Little Cowherd and Dolly Golden came up from Maryland to school, they were quiet because Luise was subdued by Miss LaPorte, and Dolly, I guess, wanted to keep her company. Bobbie Greenfield, that breaker of masculine hearts, came too. Mary Hoskin and Mary Ritchey were in the Gold Suite and were a bane to teachers, but, the next year, they developed their talents more profitably. Margie Jones, always talking, and Ann Rudd, 'the right wheel in his chariot,' Pop used to call her, were together. Jeannette Kanengeiser was lost that year until Martha Neuenschwander came the next year to share with her the honor of having the longest name in school. Margie McCullough, always clowning, jean Sohn, irrepressibly loyal leader of the Golds the folf lowing year, Martha Neuhardt, with her breezy manner and kind heart, Gwen Patterson, a quiet leader, wellfloved, and Mary Morganroth, their devoted companion, formed a jolly quintet. Little Ruth Moore, quiet and loved by all, also came. There were Charlotte Smith and Betty Walker,Charl0tte found her ladyflove in Boothie, and Violet Clarke was Betty's constant companion. Last was Katy Leavitt, another quiet girl. These were the juniors- ready for a Hne Senior Year. Impatient to go on, the second tree took up the tale--alas-to finish it. mln their Senior year, nine new girls came-Duiiie and Gordon, always making visits to Kanen and Johnnie, F iftyfnine X If Mig ll 'Tl-IE PINE NEEDLE ll fs Peggy Iones and Gertie Bachman, a literal Mutt and jeff, always together, Gertie bullying poor Peggy to death. Then there was Martha Neuenschwander, who endeared herself to everyone hy her kind manner. Kathryn Peterson and Dot Ross Worked hard and faithfully. A fitting last two were Rohhy and Ranney, mischievous and jolly.

' Gilman lgrnphrrg The first miracle is that I was chosen to he the prophet of the Class of '31, the second miracle is the source of my prophecy, for, helieve it or not, a miracle took place and I will tell you just what happened. Early one evening I sat at my desk musing over former issues of the PINE NEEDLE containing prophecies which had heen committed to their pages hy girls who might he called literary marvels. I write a prophecy7 Not heing in the slightest sense such a literary marvel, nor the possessor of the sofcalled futurefeye, I realized the ahsurdity of my assuming the task of soothsayer. What was I to do? Then, just as Morpheus was deadening my already dulled senses in slumher, the hand of fate pushed a leaf through my window and made it flutter across the desk top. With dreamy eyes, I perceived itg I regarded it as an omen for good, suggesting possihilityg and so it was, for, suddenly, I seemed to rememher something ahout leaves, and prophecies. and soothsayers all comhined, Of course! How stupid I was not to have thought of that connection at once, especially as I had heen a stagefhand in the play the girls had given for Initiation! What a line representation of the Sihyl and her cave they did give. But, they left out that part where the Sihyl inscrihed her prophecies on leaves. Perhaps they did not rememher from Vergil's account or. more likely, perhaps no leaf had hlown in on .Iane's desk when she was planning her drama. 'S hloodl Wliait good was a leaf to mc? Had not the Sihyl deserted her cave centuries hefore great-great Grand' Daddy Grier had ever come to what is now our fair Birmingham7 Whitt was that noise? lvlayhe E. Vfs picture has heen disturhed hy the wind, I thought. Horrors? Then as I turned ahout in my chair, I saw him now here is the miracle I scarce dare write the words, hut I swear, as surely as I study Pop's Vergil for two periods every day. it was Puhlius Vergilius lvlarol My expression must have amused him, for his face hroke into a smile, the hest likeness to Popts smile I have ever seen, and he hegaii to speak. As nearly as I could translate. this is what he said: You are the little Cowherd. are you not the little girl who wrote that awful sonnet ahout mei' Ifl were not such a kind soul, I'd leave you alone to work out your prophecy, hut as I am in sympathy with those Birmingham girls who so hlindly have entrusted their future to one ofsuch inahility, I will help you: and, if you are wise, you will attend to my instructions and follow me. It seems to me that it was that same night that I found myself hoarding a great ship, hut it really was not. for Vergilius assured me, over and over, that it was not the year l93l. hut the year 1936, and that this great ship Szxtyfone l . ,,,, I I III, ' ll 'rr-IE PINE NEEDLE U was the one used by Pop in the cruises he was conducting around the world. I wanted to ask Vergil how h knew, but he had just reminded me how I continually forgot the presence of caesuras in my scansion, so I refraine How long we sailed I do not know, but, one bright morning, I awoke to ind the ship rocking from side to si in a most uncomfortable manner. I looked out of my portfhole into broad sunlight and wondered why there shou be such rocking. Immediately I saw the cause, for we were in front of a yawning cave into and about which t water dashed. To my great amazement, I learned that this was the entrance to the dark cavern which was t abode of the Sibyl. After accomplishing an entrance, Vergil, without delay, presented me to the lady who, to utter astonishment, was my beloved corridorfmate Martha Neuhardt. I did not need to have Vergilius tell that she had taken the place of the ancient seer. Martha seemed to ind her position as Chief News Informer the world very wellfsuited to her nature, I eagerly demanded that she give me news of my classmates, and t she inscribe the news upon the leaves which were neatly piled in the corner of the cave. She said she would delighted to oblige mee-nice girl, Martha. As she wrote each account, I read and then placed the leaf on t ground beside me. Dolly Golden's name appeared on the first leaf. Gee, I was glad, for Dolly was my roommate, and I was anxi to know how she was getting along in the sport's world. As I suspected, she was captain of a polo team down I'Iavana,and her fair beauty had ensnared a young man from Penn whose name was Bill.I picked up the next l and read that Mary Brady was a member of that same team, and that she was one of Dally's best players, but s was always surffboard riding with Eddie and often forgot on which nights the games were to be played, Excitedl I picked up the third leaf which told the fate of a big blond girl running a sportyflooking roadster on the side which appeared these words: Business Manager of the New York Times, What's this, I exclaimed, can Barclay be trying to persuade Charlie to become the latest Fisher Body? What a girl! What a girl! jimpin' jumpiters! Miss Groh, I learned, had given up a promising career as a singer and was married t handsome doctor with gray hair at the temples. Soon she will be wasting her talent on lullabies. And what ca next? Why, think of Katrine scratching verses on the gate of a corral while giving julie her last lesson in breaki a bronco! I hurried on and found that Gordon, Dufhe and Kanengeiser had joined up with a jolly troupe of hu flies and were snapping their lingers at the Woolworth Building. They evidently were not able to give up th treefclimbing when they left Birmingham, that they should come to this. My agitated nerves were somew calmed when I read that Genia Kyle had married a Newport millionaire and had persuaded her husband to let enter a yacht in the International Cup Race. I like to picture a little green vessel clipping the water under I m. h h li hand of saltfsoaked Trix. H Vergilius nudged me in the ribs when I took up the next leaf and read of a young society maiden welcoming guests as they entered the Gibson Hotel where she was entertaining. The account mentioned regal appearanc Tiara surmounting black hair caught in a shining twirl at the nape of the neck. I was not surprised when I r that it was none other than the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sommer of Cincinnati-you know-the fin city in the United States.

She began. That bold city of Chicago has lured our little Libby Wilson into its gangster atmosphere. To her long list accomplishments she has added the capture of a bandit and it looks as though he is a prisoner for life! And friend Ranney, if you could see her, you would hardly recognize her in her new surroundings, a cozy little ho on the shores of Lake Michigang she carries her proud head with a haughty but cheerful air for she is the moth of eight. Ranney has agreed to allow Robbie and her 'just john' to rent one side of the cottage provided Robb will amuse the kiddies with that famous motorfboat story which so thrilled Miss Perine's English Class, A Sixtyftwo 4 4 1 l 'll of our me er 16 nd ll'T'l-IE FINE NEEDLE U I F X now, who next? Why our Praefect of the Golds and our Senior Presidentfoh yes, they with Annie Byers, 'live- wire' McCollough, and Mary Morganroth, have purchased a passenger plane which they run on schedule time between New York and San Francisco. The purpose of this airfship project is to bring students from all parts of the country back to Birmingham after weekfends away. Annie Byers is a very excellent pilot and mechanic, jeanie Sohn accompanies them because she makes wonderful cinnamon toast and can keep the girls wellfdrilled in their songs-both Green and Gold. Gwen lends dignity to the trips as hostess: she almost equals Mistress Moulf ton. Mary has donated her Victrola to the good causeg and, in her spare moments she instructs in letterfwriting. Margie, with her everfpresent mirth, coupled with a crooning Q75 voice, is general amuser. It is certainly pleasing to know that these girls are still serving our Alma Mater. Carol and Wint have opened a summer Kindergarten on the roof of the Warwick Hotel, Carol's home, where, for two hours every afternoon they instruct kiddies in theirknot avocation, but vocation, ice cream eating. You certainly know that jane Spanjer has been accepted as Pop's manager in his roundfthe-world trips! She has turned out to be quite a success as a private secretary, she's bound to have her duties well in hand. My obliging soothsayer then handed me a brown sheet from an issue of the New Tm-Ig Times on which was a recent picture of a smiling lovely lady-Mary Ritchey-in one of her more famous roles-that of Marguerite in Faust. Another picture caught my eye, the Misses fmind you? Bachman and jones, who are giving their Hftyffirst appearance at the Guild Theater. The explanatory item states that Gertrude's representation of a young com' poser was remarkable and that Peggy, as a bewitching young maiden, gave a splendid performance, and Katherine Leavitt did remarkable work as a gossipy old lady. What about Peterson, Ross, Rudd, Moore, and Margie jones, Martha? Do read or recite something about them. Oh yes! Why, Peterson and Ross are co-editors of a new Ancient History. I am surprised that you know nothing about that. Why the book may be read in one night and the next day the reader is guaranteed to know everything from hieroglyphics to the World War. And where have you been that you have not heard that Ann Rudd was given the Nobel award for Chemistry research? Quick! a gold medal for Mrs. Hudson! Ruth Moore has taken up interior decorating, and under her supervision, Margy jones has at last acquired that 'beautiful house with all the fireplaces' Martha looked very tired, but she saw my eagerness to know, so she continued: Do you remember the prophecy of 1930 in which Jean Friedberg described a little cottage on the hill where the teachers made their home? You should see it now. It is decorated profusely with Miss Cutt's needle-point and Miss Wood's paintingsg a newffangled garage has been installed for Miss Cryder's latest model Ford, Miss Perine and Miss LaPorte have private radios installed for their express purpose, so that they can listen nightly to Amos 'n' Andy, who are still on the airg Miss Penny and her buddy, Miss Brewster,are travelling abroad. It is rumored that they are accompanied by two handsome young men. Miss Fallon has purchased a device for Miss Higgins which automatically selects the correct meals for every occasion. The special feature of the cottage'life is the Saturday night concert which the Misses Williamson, Smith, and Swift render with the greatest delight. Miss Brown has a quiet spot in the cottage where she spends her time compiling data for the life history of the amoeba. Good luck to her! I was so absorbed in this recital that Vergil was obliged to pinch me back to a realization that the reading was at an end. I was about to express my thanks to the Sibyl when a blast of wind blew open the door. The leaves, so carefully piled, went fluttering out upon the water where I could see them sailing like boats, at random. In my effort to rescue them, I all but rushed over the side of the cliff. Suddenly, I turned about to apologize to Vergil for my rudznessg but lo! the cave was gone, and he had vanished, like Creusa of old, into the darkening night. I am sitting at my desk now, much the wiser by thirtyfeleven histories. Yet, who will believe I ever read the leaves, since I failed to bring them back as proof? Not a very sustaining thought at best. I think I'll go to bed! Sixtyfthvee ll fr I-IE NAME PINE NEEDLE ll A x Svtatistim EY , ni WYE, WM, W4-.VT- SHE Is FAVORITE EXPRESSION GERTRUDE BACHMAN ....

Aeneas emit 'Hvrgil ANN RUDD Weary of Italy's shores and longing again for the ocean, I, in the year '31, Vergilius Publius Maro, Eager to seek a new land, planned to set out on a journey, Asked I Aeneas to come and sail with me on this voyage I had decided to take to honor my twoathousandth birthdayg Fitted we out a new galley and gathered together his comrades, . Scattered these three thousand years far and wide through the countries of E joyfully all set to work to make ready that which was neededg Some mended sails while others gathered and stored our provisions. In the short span of a year, we completed our great preparationsg Then, bidding farewell to our friends, we gaily prepared for departure. Having no goal to achieve, we sailed all about at our leisure, Saw all those countries which we, in our haste, had not had time to visit Three thousand years ago when seeking Italy's shoreline. Called we on Dido, and then, setting our prow to the westward, Set out to see that new land Columbus of Spain had discovered. Driven by strong salty breeze, we at length saw a coast in the distance, And, as we drew nearer the shore, a city loomed up to the westwardg Then as we sailed closer yet, a harbor appeared there ahead, Teeming with men, and with ships which were heavily laden with cargo. Thought we at this wondrous sight, Indeed 'tis Elysium before us, Surely no city on earth could possibly be so enormous With buildings so tall, with such parks and wide highways about them. Frightened at seeing all this, and believing the vision a portent, Turned we our course to the North, and soon saw the mouth of a river. Down this we sailed for a time, passing cities and towns on our voyage, Seeing strange peoples and places, and stared at by all those who saw usg Likewise we wondered at them, for their garb was fashioned most queerlyg Many strange things did we see, but no longer we feared for our safety, At length by devious route, we came to a very small river, Winding about at its will through the cafions and vales of the mountainsg Yellow its muddy hue, as at Rome is our own tawny Tiber, And, wonderful to relate, of most remarkable odor. High on the hillfside we saw, shining bright blue and white in the sunshine Hidden among the tall pines, a beautiful large rambling building. Deciding to stop there awhile, we furled our sails and descended, Finding a road near at hand, we followed it far up the mountain Till at length we arrived at the house we had seen as we sailed up the river. A tall, portly man soon appeared, and seemed to be interested greatly When told we our names and the tale of our second long voyage by water, Accepting his bidding to stay, we planned to remain for the winter. a A school the place turned out to be, and shortly arrived many maidens, All was confusion at first, but they soon settled down to their studies, Games we saw played on a held not unlike the Roman arena. One day a service was held which seemed to be in my honor: Behold, they did offer due praise to my tale of Aeneas' long wand'ringsg Indeed I had almost forgot that this was my twofthousandth birthday. Honor was once more paid me on a Saturday night of October, Initiation it was, they depicted my trip to the Sybil, Hecate unseen was there and terrified all with her presence, Victims were stricken with awe by the monsters and horrible omens. Verily pleased I was then, that my writings had saved them his story. Num'rous events followed close, which I will but briefly recount here: Thanksgiving was a gay time-but their feasts to the gods are not many-- Eightyftwo urope ll TFIE PINE ANSEEDLE U Soon there approached Christmasftide, Saturnalia as known in my boyhood, Heralded they this day with carols and beautiful customs: Then, joyful, the students return to their gods of the hearth, the Penates. After the annual feast to the venerable twofheaded Janus, School had once more begun when one night they all went to Altoona- A city of wonderful size, but so black that I think that the anger Of jupiter Omnipotens was aroused, and he darkened their buildings, Theatres here they visit, yet not like our theatres Roman, For it seemed that the stage was behind, with a mirror reflecting the players, Neither could we understand, and Aeneas and I were most troubled. All winter long, once a week, came artists of wonderful merit, Charmed with their talents, the girls, and made them admire in amazement: . Singers with beautiful voices, a man who declaimed the play Hamlet, Also a virgin most fair who played with great skill the piano- CThis was an instrument new, surpassing the lyre in its beautyj Joyful with color and song, Cabaret was a marv'lous occasion, Men from a place they called State came to grace with their presence the party Why State men called I see not, for to me they seemed not at all statesmen! Close on its heels was a Prom, a revel most gay and deilghtful- Somewhat reminding me of our fetes in honor of Bacchus. One night we gazed on an Opera, the quest of a dragon portraying, Wonderful music there was, line acting and beautiful costumes, . Charmed were Aeneas and I , again and again we applauded, Spring came then soon, and it seemed as though Ceres and thrown a green carpet, Cov'ring the ground with soft grass and the trees with an emerald verdure. Soldiers became then the maids-they carried their guns and paraded In most remarkable fashion around the open arena, Day after day this went on, till each movement was done with perfection, Then, one day in the Springtime, on the Held they proceed with a drill-down, Such as Iulus of old was wont to conduct with his comrades. On the same day there was held, of running and jumping, a contest, just like the Circus of Pompey, held once on the great Cam us Martius. Tennis and other strange games were played for a trophy ofp silver, Such as might grace the board at a feast to the almighty rulers, Then thought Aeneas and I, Most unusual and rare, these maneuvers, And strange 'tis indeed how like they are to the games of the Romans! Much shocked our women would be to see ones of their sex so performing. Scarcely two weeks had slipped by when came another occasion, Dignity this time prevailed which truly became well the maidens, Prizes for merit were giv'n and each Senior received her sheepskin, Heard we then an oration, rivaling Cicero's phrases. Thus the Mirabilis Annus closed to the grief of each Seniori Never again on the hillside would they all be gathered together, Then there occurred to me the thought of my own home and hearthside, Strangely a longing I felt to see my lowflying Latium. Thanks we gave our kind host, who had so well entertained us, Then, having determined to go, we left Birmingham for the river, And boarding our boats once again, weighed anchor and straight began sailing. After many a battle with Boreus, we arrived on Italy's shoreline, In Ostia's port safe at anchor, lay the stout boat of our voyage, Then, as we measured our steps o'er the stones of the Appia Via, Deep in my heart I mused, There's no place like home, 'tis said truly, But surely the School we've just left is as near as may be to Elysium!

It is the result of hours of anxious thought and patient, persistent effort. The staff of THE PINE NEEDLE have accepted a real responsibility, and under the leadership of the Editor, Miss Ann Rudd, and the Business Manf ager, Miss Charlotte V. Smith, they have produced a book of which they may well be proud. We feel sure that you who turn these pages and reflive the events of the year just concluded, will join us in congratulating them. I . 9 In our humble capacity as pub' lishers, it has been a privilege to be associated with the production of this book. Perhaps We have in a small way caught some of the enthusiasm displayed by the staff itself, for in our hands the prof duction of a yearbook becomes a very personal matter. s We are justly proud of the conf fidence placed in our ability to produce a book in keeping with the ideals of the staff and school which sponsor it. We earnestly hope that this feeling of conhdence will persist, and that it will be our privilege to place the facilities of our organization at the service of the yearbook staff of Birmingham School through successive years.
