These good j? en ' lovers of education, observing the lamentable want in this state of institutions tted to give a thorough and elevated course of education to young ladies, established t e Central Female Institute. On the thirteenth of October, 1853, this first Board °f 1 rustees met, organized, and with Rev. Benjamin Whitfield as President, entered u Pon the duties for the performance of which they had been selected. 1 hey secured the services of William Duncan as president the first session, he Carson property in the town of Clinton was selected as a suitable location for the school. This was purchased and repaired. Thus began Central Female Institute, which for sixty years has maintained an uninterrupted and prosperous existence. In 1854, Dr. W. M. Phillips was made President of the Board of Trustees, and tor thirty years he remained a member and always evidenced a paternal interest in this c hild of his love. Robert Kells was also a member of the Board for more than thirty years. It was in a great measure due to his efforts and those of Benjamin Whitfield that the Central Female Institute buildings were not taken during the war for military hospitals, and, like others used for this purpose, destroyed. Prof. Duncan, the first President of the Institute, held his position only one year, an the second, Rev. Crawford, two years. Then Dr. Walter Hillman, who for thirty seven years persided over its destinies, was made the third President of the institution. ssociated with him in this great work was his wife, that splendid woman of “Ye old sc loot, Mrs. Adelia M. Hillman. Together they worked that the college they both ° ed might be able to give the young women of our state the best possible advantages ln ar educational way, as well as the noblest of religious and moral principles. I he Central Female Institute property, which had been owned by the Central aptist Association, became involved in such great debt during the war that it was gwen over to Dr. Hillman. He and Mrs. Hillman paid off these debts and the school was saved. In the selection of his faculty, Dr. Hillman always chose those whom he knew t() he best fitted for the position. Prof. Emil Menger was at the head of the musical ( e Partment for more than forty years. To an accurate knowledge of the science of music and to great skill in imparting to others, he added the character of a true nstian gentleman. Ti i, following item on the progress of the Institution was written by Dr. Chas. Oilman Brough: In 1889, the value of the Institute property was substantially increased by the a( vr° n a commoc Iious chapel building and dormitory named “Adelia Hall” in honor 0 Mrs. Adelia M. Hillman, the wife of the President. This building, with its well arranged assembly, scientific, Art, and Physical culture rooms and its neat and con- veniently situated dormitories, greatly increased the patronage of the Institution and insured its permanent usefulness. During the commencement in 1892. the Board of rustees of Central Female Institute resolved to change its name and giv to it what a deemed most appropriate, the name of those who had for thirty-five years been its successful conductors — Hillman College. But for Dr. Hillman, the merited honor Was short lived, for on April 9, 1894, this eminent teacher and good man was sum- moned to receive the plaudit promised a faithful servant. However, his able and de- V() ted co-laborer, Mrs. Hillman, proved equal to the responsibility, which Providence a d placed upon her, and during the two vears of her administration as President, the college prospered. 7 TOE ]PI OTS[ 1013 In 1896, she was succeeded by Dr. Franklin L. Riley, a Ph. D. of Johns Hopkins University, and a scholar of unusual attainments and accuracy. He contributed much to the present high and ethical standing of the institution. In 1897, the Hillman College property was purchased from Mrs. Hillman by Rev. Geo. Wharton, who served as President until January, 1901, when the school became the property of Dr. John L. Johnson. Dr. Johnson, an alumnus of the University of Virginia, was for sixteen years Professor of English in the University of Mississippi. He brought to this crowning labor of his life, ripeness of scholarship and experience, a glorious heritage for an insti- tution which, in 1903, entered upon the semi-centennial year of its existence. Associated with Dr. Johnson in the management of the college was his son, John L. Johnson, Jr., a brilliant alumnus of the University of Mississippi, with ten years experience in the educational field of Georgia. In 1905, Hillman College came under the management of Lowrev and Berry, of Blue Mountain College. Prof. Jno. L. Johnson remained with the College one year, succeeding his father as President. Dr. W. T. Lowrev became President in 1906, and under the untiring efforts of this inimitable school man, Hillman underwent thorough repairs. Steam heat took the place of stoves; brilliant electric lights the place of lamp and candle; hydrants of pure spring w’ater w’ere placed in convenient spots about the campus and buildings; a new’ dormitory w’ith all the modern improve- ments and a splendid dining hall, was added to the buildings; the campus was enlarged so that the girls might have tennis and basketball courts; an Industrial Home was added where many a noble girl w’ho wished to make her college expenses as light as possible, has been helped. In 1911, Dr. Lowrev became President of Blue Mountain, but retained the Presidency of Hillman. Since then he has been very ably assisted in his work here by Vice-President L. T. Lowrey, an M. A. from Mississippi College. A History of Hillman College w’ould be incomplete w’ithout some mention being made of the work done by the two literary societies, The Lesbian and Adelian. In 1856, the young ladies of the Institute organized the Lesbian Society. In 1902, the Adelian Society, named in honor of Mrs. Hillman, was organized. The purpose of these societies was the attainment of a more extensive acquaintance with literature. The friendly rivalry between the two has always been an incentive to literary work. The founders of Central Female Institute proposed in her establishment a permanent institution for the imparting of high literary culture to the female mind. We believe they have succeeded. For sixty years, even during the Civil War when she was in the very pathway of the contending armies, this institution has continued her daily work. It is believed that this can be said of no other school in the south. This fact so greatly pleased Gen. Grant, the commander of the federal armies which oc- cupied the town, that he gave it his full protection. When C. F. I. came into existence, she stood almost alone in her effort to furnish in the south west a cultivated and extended course of education for young ladies. Now we see our own and the neighboring states dotted thickly over with excellent institu- tions of learning. 1 o some of these the Institute — Hillman — has been the mother, for her pupils have established them, or directly influenced their establishment. To others she has been an example and a stimulus, while for six decades of uninterrupted activity, she has done so much in awakening and sustaining the interests and in elevat- ing the sentiments of the generations in educational matters. This has been her past. What does Hillman hope to be in the future? With her foundation laid thus broad and deep, she hopes to raise her educational column yet higher and make her influence still more widely felt. With the accumulated resources of her past experience, she feels that she is able to wwk even more and better. There- fore, depending upon the patronage of those who appreciate thoroughness in education, the reality instead of pretense, she starts out hoping to make her career increasingly useful through another and yet another and even many more decades. 8 The Faculty 9 131 07M Wm, Tyndale Lowrey, D.D., LL.D. It is useless to introduce Dr. Lowrey to the people of Mississippi. It is doubtful if there is a politician in the State who has as large a personal acquaintance, as Dr. Lowrey has with the Baptists of Mississippi. He has been a College President for nearly thirty years, and for the last seven years has been President of two colleges at the same time. 1 housands of his students whose characters he has helped to mould now rise up to honor his name. Under his leadership, together with that of his brother, B. G. Lowrey, Blue Mountain College was built up from a small school to its present magnificent propor- tions, with over five hundred students and nine splendid buildings. During his thirteen years in Mississippi College, the patronage increased over two hundred per- cent, and he increased the endowment from forty thousand to one hundred twenty thousand dollars. In addition to this, he raised the money for the erection of a Presi- dents’ Home, a dormitory and a science hall. Jennings Hall has been declared the best school dormitory in the South, and the new science hall is certainly not surpassed in Mississippi. An account of the improvements made in Hillman since he took charge, w T ill be found elsewhere in this volume. Outside of his College work, he is President of the Board of Trustees of the Tri- state Baptist Hospital in Memphis, Tenn., and at the last Mississippi Baptist State Convention he was elected President of that body. io Lawrence Tyndale Lovvrey When Booth Lowrey’s baby boy graduated from in ISS 1 SSI PP College with “Special Distinction,” after hav- g won the state championship in tennis for two years, ev K n f ° nC year . 0ver the best Y M - C A the collc e er ad, and serving as Literary Editor of the Annual, tT mber ° f the facult y said “L- T.

The position was ably filled and many a bright young girl has gone out from Hillman to do honor to her as their instructor. So well did she prove in this depart- ment that she was capable of exercising an influence that would he helpful to the girls and young women of our state, that she was persuaded to give up teaching and take the position of Lady Principal. The same noble qualities of mind and heart are exerting an influence for good that will go sounding down the ages, and the lives of all those who have come under her guidance will go out to strengthen struggling humanity, and then they will bless the memory of the days when they knew T Miss Margaret Bennett.

Miss Elizabeth Dee Frost Those who’ve heard of her at all know first of all two things; her middle name is “Dee’ and she’s fond of Ro mance — she’ll tell you the first and you’ll find the other out. But these are only preliminary charms, for on better acquaintance we learn she teaches English and came from Sunny Tennessee. In her English she takes the pride of a master and those who sit at her feet are charmed by her clear simple teaching; well planned and nobly interpreted her school work is a delight to all. Miss Mary Birdie Gurney Always living up to her favorite motto, “whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well,” Miss Gurney goes quietly on with her work, always busy but always finding time for her many friends when they are in trouble or need advice. This sweet, petite, neat, little brown eyed woman teaches us “rithmetic” and also makes us “see stars.” She is a native Mississippian, her affections being divided be- tween Blue Mountain, where she was an earnest student, and Clinton, where she is a most successful teacher. Vernon Booth Lowrey They say he did not learn to talk until he was twelve years old, but when he did start! Lack of space forbids all about it being told, but in a word, in the Mississippi College contest to choose a representative for the State Oratorical Contest this spring, he won first place in both manuscript and delivery. He is also editor-in-chief of the M. c. Annual, L’Allegro. Before coming to us last session, he had been a most successful instructor in the Lowrey- Phillips School of Amarillo, Texas. We heartily agree with the former superintendent of schools of one of the largest cities in Mississippi, with whom Mr. Lowrey was associated in his school work in Texas. He said: “I do not know his equal as a history teacher at his age, and very few superiors at any age.” 12 PION E,E,FL? □egg 1013 Miss Georgina Palmeter and l? 10 re c a ' ms the honor of being her native heath f T 1S a ver it a ble Evangeline in more ways than one. hers If °? e ow ’ s Ascription to recognize her, and she and tC ° U t lat s e as wan dered in many states our eVen acr . oss be waters.

She often sings in lesson time. If you don’t believe it, just ask the English classes. Indeed, she is an artist in her line, for were she less, she could never attain such success. So to you, New York State, we make our best bow for sending such a treasure.

Why, M iss Barnard, of course. She comes to us from the Delta which she loves so much, and where she says she always expects to live, but she seems more admirably fitted to re- main in a Lowrey and Berry school. She has been asso- ciated with their work either as a student or teacher, since she entered Blue Mountain College at the age of twelve. This is her first year as teacher of Expression in Hillman College, but her large and enthusiastic class show that she is a capable instructor, and her great popularity with the students and residents prove that she is a favorite in the social life of Clinton. Miss Emily Marie Atkinson M iss Atkinson is finishing her first session with us as Director of the Art Department. She comes to us from The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, and possesses remarkable artistic skill and creative powers. Never be- ing satisfied with herself, she longs, as Vasari says, “to heap excellence on excellence and perfection on perfec- tion.” Combining the qualities of quiet determination an 1 calm persistance with this ideal of an artist, she succeeds in making this department ore of the most attractive i 1 Hillman College. Miss Mary White Hillman claims this beautiful brunette as one of her own products, and proud she is of the production. Miss White has been with us two years and right regally has she won supreme success in her department as assistant Latin teacher. But Latin is not the only language known to her. She interprets well of the compositions of great musicians, and charmingly does she give us the music that Hath charms to soothe the savage breast , To soften rocks and bend the knotted oaks Ambition in this direction is great, reaching even be- yond the seas, but Hillman hopes to keep her for many years, unless she is persuaded to join the faculty of another college rot far away. 14 M.

Berry is justly a queen in any circle in which she moves. However, her chief joy is to look after “Son” — that’s her husband. We have said that he was a great man, — behold the incentive! Before he got her he did his best that he might get her. Now that he has her, he does his best because he succeeded. “M iss Marie” is one of the best women, one of the most human women, and one of the most loved women you will meet in a life time.

Miss Mamie Elizabeth Kethley Miss Kethley has always lived near Crystal Springs and Crystal Springs may well be proud of her. She has been with us only a few’ months, but during this short time she has won the hearts of all the girls by her charm- ing manners and sweet disposition. Under her able management the Industrial Home has become a home in- deed. Her fort is not alone in management of household affairs, but she has developed her talent for fashioning dainty dresses for the girls. Already she has made herself felt in so many ways that Hillman could hardly do with- out her.

The war-clouds hung above, — The tramp of troops thru-out my groves did sound, And Grant and Sherman marshalled out their men And drove them on at Vicksburg from my ground. From here they crushed my people’s hopes, — and then For weeks and months, by night and day, Within my rooms the victims of the strife — Those hero-boys, who wore the blue and grey, — Were by my hero-girls brought back to life. — And so the queens, whom I had trained, O’er war and blood-shed ever reigned. — Thus was I consecrated. Those days are gone forever, — The Lord of Peace again rules all the land, And heaven smiles upon the happy State, That grows apace, and seems, at God’s command. To build itself an ever kindlier fate. And still I live, and seek to teach the heart, That thru the majesty of womanhood. Throbs in us all, and makes us ere a part Of Earth’s God-given bond of brotherhood. — And still beneath the South’s vast dome, I guide the hand that rules the home. — — And thus my halls are sacred. 17 Mrs. Magnolia Bennett Bell Mrs. Alice Jordan Timberlake Mrs. Mary Thompson Rice These are our “girls” of long ago. Scattered far and wide are the many girls that gathered in the halls of the old C. F. I. during that time and all the years since, but these are here in our midst, scattering love and sunshine along the pathways of all who come into their presence. Each of these silver haired matrons was once a dearly be- loved teacher in her Alma Mater, and it is with mucn pride and pleasure that we place their picture on the pages of our annual. 18 Wt, 5ENI0R 1913 19 TOE U SENIOR OFFICERS Linda Mae Bridgers President Ruby Hammack Vice-President Flossie McKay Secretary and Treasurer Lillah Sutton . . . . . . . . .

At the beginning of every session since, she has taken up her duties with that same wide- awake spirit that characterizes her every action. She has won the love and admiration of all her fellow students. Already they are wondering how they can do without her next session. She has made herself felt in every phase of college life, for she is a girl who can bring things to pass. She has been made president of every organization that she is a member of, from chafing dish clubs to the Lesbian Society. She is the only member of our class who will get both a B. A. degree and a diploma in music. We predict for her a great future as a music teacher. B. A. Degreee and Diploma in Music. 20 Sulligent, Ala.

If you can’t answer a question, no matter what [he subject may be, or write a card of thanks for a ball ticket, just ask Ottie, she can tell you. In her °ngue is the law of kindness. By her face and s Peech she has won many admirers. She is a thorough student, and a more loyal and able one can- not be found. Ottie, however, proclaims not her °wn virtues but those of others. B. A. Degree. “A maiden never bold; Of spirit so still and quiet that her motion Blushed at herself ” Fredda is the only town girl in the Senior class and enjoys the freedom which she says does her no good(?). She is very quiet, modest and obliging, and her sweet voice charms all who heart it, as did the Sirens’ song in olden days. She is a conscientious student and can even answer questions in Senior History. We don’t know much about her past, ex- cept that sometimes in the dim ages of antiquity she taught school. But at present, she is occupied in carrying messages from the H. C. girls to their town friends. M. L. Degree. 21 TJFlEs PIONEER? Ruby Hammack Flora “She ' s beautiful and therefore to be woo ' d, She ' s a woman and therefore to be won This precious stone, a veritable Kohinoor in size, was found in Madison County one September, not so many years ago. Her first polish was received in the Flora High School and her two years in Hillman have given her a wonderful lustre. During her first year here we thought she would be a “Saint,” but she seems to have decided to be a gem of great “Price.” In Chemistry and “Stute” receptons Ruby shines, likewise in midnight feasts and Sunday School. Always good natured, oblig- ing and altogether charming, she has won the hearts of all who know her. M. L. Degree. Chalybeate “ She passes praise : then praise too short doth blot.’ Lela always sees the good qualities in every- thing, and is one of the most unselfish girls in the class. She is cheerful, helpful and sympathetic, hut in spite of all these virtues, Lela is quite modest. Although she realizes her position in the Senior row, yet we hear the almost involuntarily reheasing her alphabet. A, B, C, D-e-e, a part of which she must master, in order to add another degree to her M. L. If she fails in this, however, her ambition is to be an “old maid” teacher. M. L.

M. L. Degree. Eunice Longino Silver Creek “I do betray myself with blushing Silver Creek has sent to us a girl who is well worth her weight in silver — or gold. Eunice is loved by all who know her, and is very popular among her school-mates and many friends. She has devoted most of her time to the study of piano and voice. She is truly a song bird and her Hillman and M. C. friends realize this fully on recital nights. But we believe that Eunice sings her sweetest in a dimly lighted parlor, where there is only one to listen. M. L. Degree.

A girl who is loved by all and whose originality and artistic ability are always in demand. Ruth has taken her time while at college and has learned enough to pay for the time.

She often determines to he an “old maid,” but “somebody” persuades her to change her mind. She is quite an artist and paints people as they ought to be, not as they are. Diploma in Art. Pelahatchie “Jove knows I love , — but whom? Although Flossie appears very indifferent, she has won many friends not only in Hillman, but also in Mississippi College. When there is to be a ball game, she appears with her big coat on, in order to have pockets enough to hold her tickets. Flossie takes her own time for everything and worries about nothing. She is always ready for a feast, even if it is only Kress candy. While she is not so fond of most studies, some say she likes Milton. She de- lights in playing tennis love games. M. L.

It would take quite a long string of adjectives to enumerate her virtues. Intellec- tual, big hearted, interesting, are the ones most fitting to describe her. Very resourceful, she can do almost anything she tries except s )ng. Some day she will certainly shine as a literary genius or else she will sit in the chair °f Latin in some great instituion. B. A. Degree and Diploma in Expression. Zilphia Odom French Settlement, La. “Believe me, Of all the men alive 1 never yet beheld that special face Which I could fancy more than any other” Louisiana has presented us with this fair maiden, whose lovely face and charming man- ners have been a joy to Hillman ever since she entered it. She loves Art and especially is she gifted in drawing pictures of her ideal, or rather ideals, for she has another one after each reception. The only thing that ever worries Zilphia is trying to decide whether she prefers Mexico, New or Old (with the Spanish language) or French Settlement, La. (with the French language). Possibly, who knows, she may decide to turn all her atten- tion to the question of cotton dealing. Diploma in Art. 25 TJF£. E PIOAI ±x 1013 Ruby Roper Kosciusko “Nothing she does or seems. But smacks of something greater than herself ” On a cold, bleak November morn, one of our Rubies first saw the light of day. Tho’ not of royal birth, she has “Noble” aspirations. Three years ago she came to Hillman, seeking knowledge. Being fond of music, she began to study piano, but soon de- cided that she preferred “trombone.” Though she finds this “study” very interesting, she finds time to scatter sunshine among her friends and shine in her literary studies. She can be very dignified when she desires, but nothing pleases her better than a mid- night feast, where she is leader of the fun. Others besides ourselves reconize her many virtues, and many think she will he the first to form a life part- nership. M. L. Degree. Lillah Sutton Prentiss “Sacred and sweet was all I saw in her.” In the latter part of the nineteenth century, in the town of Prentiss, a new star appeared on the world’s horizon. How this bright star passed her early years we do not know, but since she has been shedding her light on Hillman, she has shown us that she is not that kind of bright star that grows dim with age, but one that sends out her light and illumin- ates everything around her, and we are con- fident that in the future she will continue to shine, bringing light and happiness into many lives. Her friends are predicting that by her light even Chemistry will be made clear. M. L. Degree. 26 PIOT 1013 Senior Class History Once upon a time, great Jove called a meeting of his council upon Mount Olym- pus for the purpose of organizing a class surpassing all others. It was unanimously agreed that this class should graduate at Hillman College in 1913. As to the number composing the class, dissentions arose, and Jove, desirous of restoring peace, withdrew the question from the council and himself proclaimed, “Enroll twice the mystic num- ber beloved by gods and men.” Instantly fourteen names were placed on record. J hese were to be placed under the guidance of Jove’s favorite instructors. Thus, au- spicious were the circumstances under which the members of the class of 1913 began their journey in search of knowledge. By forced marches they passed through Asia, witnessed the destruction of Tyre and Sidon, crossed the bridge constructed by the grand army of Xerxes, rested on the battlefield of Marathon, witnessed Nero’s burning of Rome, crossed the Rubicon, scaled the Alps, passed through the territory of the Sequanians, played on the sands °f Calais, crossed the Straight of Dover, visited Becket’s tomb, came to America °n the Mayflower, where they chased the red coats out of Boston ; and last of all helped the suffragettes in the Presidential campaign which resulted in the election of Woodrow Wilson. Along other lines their career has been no less marked. They have sphered the su n, moon, and revolving planets; squared the world; lined their instructors’ faces; angled out of many close places; computed the distance 0 their bright particular stars and diminished that distance as often as possible. Contrary to Milton’s opinion that “one tongue is enough for any woman,” these ere provided with three. When in Rome they said as the Romans, “amo, amas, amat.” With the Germans it was “ich liebe, du liebst, er liebt.” In plain English “I love, you love, he loves.” Ehe Muses tumbled such sciences into their minds as best fitted them to read the kind’s construction in the face, to understand attractive and repellant forces of nature, a nd to reason much in this manner : — “ Those who go to Hillman are wise. We have been to Hillman. Therefore, — .” Once again the Olympic dignitaries sit in solemn state. The messengers have ar nved to report concerning the class of 1913. Ethics has taught them to be polite, Astronomy has elevated their minds, Languages have endowed them with additional tongues, and Logic has made them reasonable. T herefore upon each one does great Jove set his seal to give the world assurance of “A perfect woman nobly planned, to warn, to comfort, and command.” PIOTSTE EJQ -1 Tg Z Senior Prophecy It was dusk and as I sat idly enjoying the deepening twilight, I saw something approaching which appeared at first to be a large interrogation point. As it came nearer I recognized the bent figure of Father Time. Rather frightened at first, 1 started up, but he spoke thus: “Be not frightened, my child, for unto you is the gift given to few, an insight into the future.” So speaking, he arranged an apparatus something like a magic lantern and as slide after slide appeared, 1 beheld my class mates as the future will show T them. On the first slide I beheld a large ball room beautifully decorated and teeming with lovely ladies, but as belle of them all, I recognized Ruby Hammack. Next came a large athletic field where vari ous contests were being held and the winner of most of the prizes was Lillah Sutton. The next scene was the sea coast. There as a dash- ing merry-widow, holding court with many suitors in her train, 1 beheld Ruby Roper. The scene changed to a tightly packed auditorium with the whole crowd held breathless by the sweet strains of music from Linda Mae’s piano and Eunice’s voice. A beautiful home appears; on the porch, happily awaiting the man I see so eagerly approaching, in the distance stands Flossie. On a goods box, madly gesticulating and speaking to the gaping crowds, stands a familiar form. Suddenly I see the placard “Votes for Women” and I know that Mamie Lea is a suffragette. ’Tis the Metropolitan Art Museum in New r York and the surging crowds are enthusiastically commenting upon the last picture of Zilphia Odom. The small house on the hill seems to belong entirely to cats, they are everywhere. The door opens, still more cats. But who is the old maid who suddenly appears in the midst? Why, it is Ruth McCaughan ! Again the scene changes. I see a great German University, and among the students I recognize Emmette. An operating room. Who is the efficient nurse, who so calmly assists in the operation? It is Fredda. In the court room a woman lawyer wins every case she undertakes. Who would have thought it of Lela Hollis? Last of all for a moment appears my own face. It looks at me with sardonic grin then quickly vanishes, leaving me ignorant of my own future. Away, ’tis enough.

Can we forget, If we our three score years should pass, The day we girls of Hillman met To live nine months a Senior Class? Now parting comes! How can it be That we must leave this College dear, And from its life so soon be free? It brings from us a sigh, a tear! And oft in times of deepest gloom. When with our duties we are fraught. Memories of Hillman’s clover bloom Will be a balsam to our thought. If in the future we shall dream, Rejoicing, thinking o’er the past, And floating fast through pleasure’s stream, We needs must know, “It will not last.” O, Hillman, you have won our heart! We sleep, and dreaming, think of thee. Of life itself you’ll form a part, When other friends have ceased to be. So now we come to say good-bye, Hillman, we ask, forget-us-not. And as we leave thee with a sigh, Once more, farewell, forget-us-not ! 29 CFYIL TP 1 0.NE.BFb 1013 To the Old Central Female Institute Girls (By One of Them.) Comrades leave me here a little while I dream of days gone by, Leave me here for I am dreaming of the dear old C. F. I. ’Tis the place but not about it are the scenes of former days. Clinton changes, slowly, surely, from the well remembered wavs. Here about the place I wander catching glimpses of the past, Of the ones that have departed, of the things that could not last. Dr. Hillman, Mrs. Hillman, those great teachers of that date, When the C. F. 1. stood highest of the schools within the state, Heard the call of “come up higher” and they left the C. F. I., Giving it the name of Hillman as a parting legacy. Are there not some things remaining that the “Stute” girls knew of old? Let the vision broaden, brighten, let the day dream all be told. What is this? It looks familiar. Ah, the stairway in the hall, Which the “Stute” girls used on Sunday, just on Sunday, that was all. Down those stairs they passed on Sunday on their way to church or school, With the teachers watching closely, lest some girl should break a rule, By wearing overskirts or ruffles, silks or sashes, jewels loud, For the catalogue said plainly “none of these will be allowed.” Here’s the parlor, just the same room that the “Stute” girls knew r so well, But of good talks (?) sometimes had there, let each one her story tell. What is this I see in passing as I stroll along my way? ’Tis the same old black stair steps that we pounded many a day. With steps that were light or heavy as the owners feeling said. And for all that noisy rumpus to the back hall we were led, And made to stand there till we promised nevermore to be so bad, Thus to punish us so often, made our teachers very sad. To the library I will wander ’mong the books of long ago. Let me turn their pages fondly, for their contents you must know. Dear old books with ragged covers, but the contents are the same, And here and there among their pages will be scribbled just a name. Yet that name will call back memories of a girl with sweet blue eyes, Who has long since crossed the portals to the home beyond the skies. New books, good books, there are many that fill the shelves today, But I’ll caress these old ones fondly as I hasten on my way. What is this that’s pealing, pealing, as it swings there to and fro? ’Tis the same old bell that called us to our duties long ago; Called us when our footsteps faltered, faltered all along the way. And I see the same slow r coming, as it rings for girls today. Hark ! my waiting comrades call me. I have tarried long, I know. Visions of the past have held me, but they vanish and I go. Tho these mem’ries please our fancies, fare thee well, dear C. F. I. Forward, forward, Hillman College. Onward, upw T ard, is our cry. 30 3i Ruth Birdsong Geneva Kinnebrew Callie Dudley Junior Class Winona Hammond Polka McIntyre Mamie Adams Sallie Johnston Ruth White Gertrude Summers Minnie J.

When the visitor saw them, a look of surprise came over his face and he said, “Will you tell me the story of these two graves? It is the first time I ever knew people to be buried on the farm and have such attention paid them. Truly these must have been noble people, for such a profusion of flowers I have seldom seen mark the resting place of a rich man.” “ ’Tis an old story that has been repeated often, but I will tell it to you. In the year 18 — Billy Smith was convicted on the charge of having killed and old man for his money. It was on a Thursday morning that Bess Phillips and his mother went to the train to bid him good-bye. A few minutes before it came, Billy turned to Bess and said, “You know, Bess my girl, to part in such a way is enough to break the heart of any man, for life in a penitentiary, with all kinds of criminals, is worse than death; but such talk will not remedy matters. I declare to you once more that I am innocent.” “No need to do such a thing, Billy, for do we not know it as well as you? Were the whole world to swear to me that you were guilty, I’d say no.” These were the words of Bess. “My son, my son,” said his mother, “I know you are innocent, and how can I stand it when you are far away?” “Lean on my strong arm” said Bess,” I will be unto you as a daughter, for such I would soon have been, if all had remained well. There, be comforted., I will al- ways be near you and we will often go to see Billy.” The rumble of the coming train was heard, and then the shrill whistle. Billy turned to Bess once more and said, “Bess, much as I love you, I must say that I release you from the vows we have made.” “Billy, I will not be released. I will never marry, if not you,” said Bess. As the mother pressed her son close for the last time, she said, “My boy, for the sake of your mother who loves you, be pure and noble. Never forget to read this Bible that I am giving you, and pray always to your God.” Hush! What a mocking laugh! Than a rough, brutal man was heard to say, “Better get your religion back, Billy. By George, you need it, after what you have done.” Billy said nothing, but gave the speaker a searching glance as the train pulled out. On the way to the penitentiary few words were spoken. As he and the Sheriff were nearing the penitentiary buildings, the convicts came from the farm. Tired they were from appearances, and harsh were the words of White, the overseer. After the frugal meal, which was the worst Billy had ever tasted, he was shown to his cell. How desolate he felt when he heard the key turn in the lock, and the echo of the steps far away. First he glanced at the iron bars and saw that no escape was possible. Ere long he grew weary of this view and after reading a chapter in his Bible and say- ing his prayers, he threw himself on the wretched bed to sleep. 36 ' UftkL PIONBBR 7 1Q13 In the early morning when the birds began to twitter, he heard the overseer’s voice cursing the convicts, to get them up. He sprang to his feet, put on his new suit and was ready for service when the door was opened. As soon as breakfast was over, they went out to the farm to hoe corn. The cursing of the men was enough to make any man’s blood run cold. Occasionally the overseer would apply his cane to the back of a man who had become idle or lazy. Every day Billy found it harder than ever to be cheerful and kind in such an atmosphere, but the thought of his mother and Bess always entered his mind when he was near failure. This was not, however, the only prop he had to lean on. The other one was the book his mother gave him when he left home. It seemed a strange thing for a convict to do, yet every morning Billy rose a half hour earlier than was necces- sary, in order to plan his career for the day. He sought to think of some way iu which he could make the life of everyone of his associates better, and he generally succeeded. He smiled at every one, was always polite, and his kind words kept down, to a great extent, the angry words and curses of his fellows. Soon Billy became a trusty. When a man was sick he always begged for Billy to come and stay with him. These were joyous times for Billy. He smoothed as best he could the pillows of the dying, and closed the eyelids with a tender hand, hoping that he might do more for the next man. Even when the overseer’s little girl became sick, she cried so piteously for “Uncle Bill,” as she called him, that he was permitted to come and nurse her. One day the overseer handed Billy a letter from the Governor. “What can this letter mean?” said Billy half to himself. He opened the envelope and recognized his mother’s writing. The letter w T as as follows: My poor boy: — When you read this I will have crossed the River. It seems hard for me to die, Billy, without seeing you again, but God knows best. Evil tongues have been at work and have succeeded in making Bess believe that you are guilty. Things were presented so forcibly that I cannot blame her much, but it is so hard. Remember always, my son, that I have loved you to the last. Two months since I started out on foot to see you, although it was seventy miles. I had no money, Billy, but I felt that my life was fast drawing to a close and the greatest desire of my life was to see you again. I might have known that my effort would fail, yet you do not know how much an anxious mother will attempt for her child. Four weeks ago I was taken sick on the road side and a good family took me in and have cared for me as tenderly as for a babe. They have been so good to me as to gain the consent of the Governor to send my body to you when I am gone. Don’t grieve too much, Billy, my darling, for it would not be righ t. Bury my body beneath the spreading boughs of some tree, plant a few flowers over my grave, and don’t forget that God doeth all things well. God bless you and keep you safe from harm and dangers. Mother. Long and bitterly Billy wept over the corpse of her, who was his only earthly friend outside of the convicts. Not only did he grieve over this loss, but also that °f Bess who had sworn alw T ays to love and trust him. When the boys saw the grief °f the sorrow stricken man they cried as in one voice, “Don’t take on so, Billy, for we all still love you.” Several years went by. The same man who had scoffed at Billy when he was carried to the penitentiary had become overseer. When he saw the beautiful life of 37 THE ID I OTN IBBR7 1013 this man penetrating the shadows of wickedness, as a beautiful sunbeam dispels the gloom on a cloudy day he repented for what he had done, and one day he called Billy to him, saying, “Billy, I must tell you that I have done you a great wrong. 1 know you will hate me forever for doing such a terrible thing, but it is done now, and to a certain extent 1 can not recall it. I can, however, set you free. It was I who killed the man and stole his money. I placed everything so the blame would fall on you, because you often went to see the old man. No one knows how I have suffered through these years. The face of the murdered man from that day to this has been before my eyes. Not even while I slept have I been free. I can keep this thing in my heart no longer. I am now ready to make a public confession of what I have done and take your place.” There was silence for a long time. Then Billy spoke. “My release now would do no good, for Mother is dead and Bess mistrusts me.” Suddenly a new thought seemed to spring into his mind and he said “Jim, are you a saved man?” “No,” was the reply. “Go your way then,” said Billy, “perhaps if you were given the chance you might be saved, and besides you have a wife and child. I have no one. If this chance had come four years sooner, I might have taken your offer, but not it is too late. All I ask of you, Jim, is that you lead a pure life from now on.” That was the spirit of the man whose bones rest here. Never once did he weaver when his purpose was noble. Billy did not live many years afterwards, but his life was beautiful to the end. Jim, much to the surprise of the outside world, erected that costly monument, and even to this day w r hen the name of Billy is mentioned the convicts are all attention. V.

Prophecy Prophecy is not our aim. Our time is so taken up with the present that we do not give much attention to the future. What is the future anyway? It is only the present extended. Considering the things that happened in the past and the profits that we may attain from their lessons, we leave the future to take care of itself. We feel that our importance is still to come. The time will come some day when we shall surprise the people of all the world, as we now surprise the people of Hillman College. The time w ill come when we will no longer be Preps, but we w r ill climb the ladder round by round till w r e have become grave Seniors and then we can smile down upon the others and think of the time when we were in their place. For girls who have been preps and survived the great trial, what do you think is great enough to prophesy? This Prophet thinks it too dreadful to consider — the things we are going to do before we get through. Our mind is too light to grasp it. Words cannot be found to express it properly. Just think of the other classes that come and go and are forgotten; others that reach high accomplishments; whose members accomplish greatness; but the dear little Preps shall never be forgotten. The Prophet said, “It shall come to pass that the Preps will be as great as the others.” 5i 52 MARJORIE Marjorie Donez stood with her hands clasped behind her beside the big dormer window. The curtain was pushed hack, hut the shade was still drawn and she stood between it and the window. Listening, she waited a moment and she heard the gate click and the footsteps of a man who had just left her side. When they died away as he hastened down the walk, she turned and walked to the fireplace. She turned off the light, gave the fire an extra poke and sat down with a low sigh. The rain beat heavily against the window panes and the wind blew around the corners with a mournful sound. How 7 strange, she thought. Just a few 7 weeks ago I thought I would never love any man. I have had two or three proposals, but never loved any of the dear boys and, of course, I could not marry someone I didn’t love. It has been just two weeks tonight since I turned James away, and here Dick comes tonight and offers me a home and I do believe I love him. I am glad that I told him to w 7 ait for my answer though! Hello! what’s this? Oh! it’s his report he wanted me to help him correct and he will need it early in the morning. Listen! What was that? The gate. He has come back for it. She got quickly to her feet and started for the hall door, the report in her hand. She opened the door and a man’s voice cried from without, “Why, hello! You up yet, Mag? Was afraid I would find everybody retired.” She was caught in his arms and held close to a very wet overcoat. The blow which the young man received in the face was somewhat unexpected. “Dick Stanley, what do you mean by coming up here and kissing me like that? You may leave here right now 7 and never be caught here again. If you can’t — the rest of the sentence was rendered inaudible by the slamming of the door in his face. “Well, I’ll declare, if she isn’t a good one,” thought the young man, rubbing a throbbing face. “To slap a fellow when he has only forty minutes to stay. It must be a joke. Well, I’ll keep it.” Marjorie did not again enter the parlor, but went straight to her room up stairs. “What possessed Dick Stanley to do such a thing, I don’t see,” she cried, as she flung herself across the bed, drying her eyes. Just to come up on the gallery and when I open the door to kiss me. I’ll never speak to him again.” The next morning Marjorie was not down to breakfast. Her father had eaten and gone when she came dow 7 n, but her mother was waiting in the dining room for her. “Marjorie, Dick came after some reports which he left last night. He said that he left them on the center table, but I could not find them. I started to wake you thinking that you might have put them away, but he found them in the hall on the floor and said he guessed he must have dropped them.” “Yes, I guess he did drop them,” replied Marjorie in scorn. But Mrs. Donez was busy reading a letter and seemed not to hear. “Well, well! My letter is from John and he says he might get home Sunday — yesterday — or today. The letter miscarried and did not get here Saturday, as it should have. Guess it was such a bad day yesterday that he could not come. Hope he will get here today. There’s the phone, dear, run and answer it.” “Oh, Mother, you answer, I am sure it is Mrs. Jones.” Mrs. Donez went to the ’phone and in a moment called out, “Margaret, Dick wants to speak to you. Hurry, dear.” “Well, I say, he may think I will accept his apologies, but I’ll show him. Tell Mr. Stanley that I will not speak to him.” 53 T FTEL PIO 7 NBBR 7 1013 In vain she argued until the ’phone reminded her that Dick was still waiting. Then she sent over the wire the astonishing words that Marjorie refused to talk. Un- successfully, Mrs. Donez tried to find the reason for this mysterious behavior. She lived in a state of perplexity the whole day — and the next. The more she questioned her daughter, the worse she seemed to grow. Wednesday night they all went to prayer meeting, as was their custom. Dick had always gone with Margaret unless she had other company. But that night he did not ask if he might go. Nor could he have expected to — things standing as they were. However, when the service closed, he passed out the door at the same time she did. Stepping up to her side, he asked, “Marjorie, may I not walk home with you and have an explanation as to why — .” “You need no explanation, and it does seem that when I tell you that I never want to see you again, you would stay out of my sight.” “But Mag., you know — .” She was gone before he could finish and did not hear the rest of his sentence. The next afternoon she went to the office and, as she was returning, she met Dick on the street. She did not speak, but only threw her head higher in the air. He glanced at her swiftly and keenly, but only raised his hat. “She is the most perverse girl I ever saw. Why she flew into a fit of anger, I don’t know. What have I done? I am sure I don’t know.” A month passed and still she would not speak to him. Dick decided that he would act as if nothing had happened. So one Saturday evening he met her on the street and spoke to her as he had always done. She gave him not so much as an extra glance and passed on. The next day was Sunday, and that evening as she left the church after the service, he was just behind her. He did not ask if he might walk home with her, but waited till she was apart from the crowd and then stepping up to her side said, “Marjorie, I am going to walk home with you and have an explanation from you.” She did not say a word, but walked on as unconcerned as if he were not with her. “Marjorie, why do you act so queerly? What have I done? I am sure that I have not intentionally done anything that could cause you to treat me with such con tempt.” They had reached Marjorie’s home and were standing on the veranda. She had no idea of inviting him in, for he was an unwelcome guest. At that moment the gate opened and a man entered wearing a large overcoat. As he stepped upon the veranda beside Dick, the two looked strangely alike. “Hello Mag, how are you?” She recognized the voice as that of her step brother, John. “Will you let me kiss you this time?” Her face burned as he spoke these words, but she turned her face up to his and then asked, “John, dear, did I ever refuse you a kiss?” “Not only a kiss, but also a roof to sleep under one night when it was cold and raining.” “What John, you .” “Never mind, I must go and see Mother now. See you later.” Marjorie turned to Dick. She hesitated a moment, then turning to the door, opened it and turned on the light. “Come in, Dick.” A. S.

Masquerading, serenading, Other forms of pleasure fading — Nothing, as compared with skating at the rink. Chances seizing, bearing teasing. This did Mae until a pleasing Lad from Boston came with charming cheeks of pink. Then ’twas dances; his advances Were accepted. “He entrances,” Said the damsel to her chum within a week. Rudolph’s aching heart was breaking, His misfortune truly taking All the courage he possessed ; his life was bleak. There was Molly, there was Polly, There was also dimpled Dolly, Others, too, whom Rudolph thought were fine. Said he. “Grieving’s not relieving Troubles brought by Mae’s deceiving. Fortune seems to say that Molly would be mine.” Cupid favored, courtship savored Soon of vic’try, then was flavored With success, and ’Dolph claimed Molly as his own.

Chaplain Adelian Society A friendly rivalry is helpful to most causes. During the session of 1900- 1901, at the suggestion of Mrs. Sue Bell Johnson, wife of the then Vice President of Hillman, a new literary society was launched. A number of members of the Lesbian withdrew to become charter members of the new organization. The name, Adelian, was suggested by Prof. Johnson, in honor of Mrs. Adelia Hillman. The first officers were, Miss Anna Henry, president; Miss Clara East, secretary and Miss Lilly Mize, critic. The second session the number of members was quadrupled; and since that time the Adelians have held a high position in the College. One of the charter members was the talented and greatly lamented Miss Mary Johnson, who died in 1904. Her charming personality and seuperior intellectuality made her a most fitting leader for the young Society and it was not strange that it made great leaps toward excellence. That it was a wise move to have two organizations was evident from the first session of the Adelian’s existence. More interest was manifested in both than had just before been shown in the one. Hence the Lesbian as well as the Adelian pros- pered because of the organization. 1 oday the two stand side by side, twin sisters in numbers, results and effective- ness. Hillman owes much to the beneficial influences of her Literary Societies. 66 ADELIAN SOCIETY THE 13 1 0 T E.E.IQJ7 LESBIAN OFFICERS Linda Mae Bridgers Flossie McKay Ottie Buckley Ruth McCaughan FIRST TERM . .

Fulgham President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer The object of the society as set forth in the Preamble to its Constitution, are the attainment of a more extensive acquaintance with literature, the cultivation of a literary taste, and of readiness and elegance in the expression of thought. Semi-monthly meetings were held. Occasionally lectures were delivered before the society and a library was started for the use of its members. This was the beginning, long years ago, of the Lesbian Society, and today its members are just as loyal and are just as proud of being Lesbians as were the girls of ’ 57 - We have two societies now, and hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder, and heart to heart, we are pressing onward, carrying out as much as lies in our power the Preamble of the old Constitution of the Lesbian Society as formed by the girls of ’57, who were desirous then as we are now to attain literary culture. With a deep bow T to our sister society, we say long live the Lesbians and Hurrah for the Orange and White. 68 LESBIAN SOCIETY CATCH? Whatever happens, give Mattie Justice.

Lowrey, “Model” 73 A Stute Reception It rained. Hut what mattered that, the deluge only meant that another ’Stute reception with its usual accompanying, unavoidable, and unheeded preliminaries was at hand. He dressed. Did I say “dressed?” If I did, ’twas for want of a stronger term, for “dressing” is a daily inconvenience, while preparation for a ’Stute reception is a tri-mestrial joy which is measured only by the shine of one’s shoes, the height of his collar, t he creased trouser, and the hue of one’s tie. ’Twas done! radiant, joyous, hopeful, damp, he reached the ’Stute Hall, shed his dripping slicker and plunged into the gay, joyous, maddening chatter that is called by deluded collegians a reception. Here was the Garden of Love. Each damsel in that room was the one and onlv flower of some gallant’s life and the gardeners elbowed one another for a chance to cultivate their acquaintance, admire their beauty, and revel in their blushing, nodding presence. Talk of moonlit walks, if you will, rave over romantic sports in shady dells, if you must, but a serge suit and a dainty, filmy dress, worn by their respective owners, are the only requirements for a big night, and romance runs riot in ’Stute Hall on reception nights. But I wander. Serge Suit sighted Dainty Dress about the middle of the hall and his heart did the turkey trot in anti-Dutchie style, for he loved Dainty Dress and she sent him con- ventional notes in return for ball tickets. Six ushers asked him, from force of habit, i£ there was “Someone he’d like to meet,” but to each he gave the same answer — “Naw, reckon I’ll look ’round a while,” but his eyes never left the spot where Dainty Dress was bravely trying to “meet” seven per minute. Serge Suit worked his way nearer and, seeing his chance, was “introduced,” greeted with a smile, and before he could get in half a sentence was dismissed, his place being taken by the next in line. This happened eight times, but Serge Suit was determined — he would tell Dainty Dress of the love that for days had burned in his heart. He charged again and again, but each time he was ousted before he could work up to the point. Desperate, he de- cided to turn Lochinvar and purloin her, but just as the purpose was made, the bell rang and the damsels began to hurry out — the reception was over. Serge Suit saw ' Dainty Dress leave the hall and then started for the door. Is this the End, do we mark it “Finis,” “Terminus?” No, gentle reader, read this over and you’ll know 7 just exactly what Serge Suit will attend next time M. C. is thrilled by the announcement; “’Stute reception tonight.” One Serge Suit. 74 75 Expression Class TP I OT [ Expression Expression in its highest form, is the voicing of the soul’s purposes. It has to do with the whole man. In this Art, though ts, emotions and purposes form the content while the body and voice present the form. Therefore in order to reach the highest possibilities in Expression, we must not only have the voice and body cultivated to the highest perfection, but must have the mind enriched in all its departments and strengthened in all its processes — in recognition of this truth we readily see that the possibilities of Expression have never been realized and never will be realized till man’s limitations are removed and he stands free. The ideal speaker will never appear until we see the intellect of a Socrates, the feeling of a Brooke, and the will of a Napoleon, controlling as by an electric touch, the voice of a Maris, and the body of an Apollo, for the accomplishment of purposes that are Christ like. Love took up the harp of life and smote on all the chords with might , Smote the chord of Self, that trembling, passed in music out of sight ” — Emerson. 77 PIO Expression Seniors “The body is one and hath many members, and all the members of the body, being many , are one body — St. Paul. i 73 7 Margaret Bennett Club Physical Culture Club “How good is mans life, the mere living!

The Young Woman’s Auxiliary of Hillman College was organized in 1909, and took the place of the Sunday afternoon prayer meeting which had been held by the girls for many years. It was decided that more good could be accomplished by having an organized band, and studying the need of the world at large, and the work of the missionaries on the Home and Foreign Fields. Thus the girls are being better fitted for carrying on the Master’s work and the duties which will devolve upon them in the future. The interest manifested in this organization has been unusual, the attendance has increased rapidly, andMhe prospects for the future are bright. We feel that the work of the Y. W. A. has been a work worth while. This work was very ably carried on under the supervision of Mrs. J. L. Johnson for three years. This year Mrs. Quisenberry is our leader and the remarkable success of the Y. W. A. is largely due to her efforts and encouragement. If its success in the future is as great as it has been in the past, and we are sure that it will be under her able leadership, many a person will think with reverence of the Y. W. A. of Hillman College and it shall indeed be called blessed. 80 A. AND V.

It has been truly said that the mind attains unto higher and nobler things only when the body develops to the same or greater extent. Keeping this truth in mind, we have organized at Hillman athletic clubs of all kinds. We have class Basketball teams, croquet and Tennis Clubs. Much rivalry exists between the different Basketball teams. They have gotten into the spirit of the game, and many afternoons during the Basketball season, the court is kept busy. This sport exercises and trains the mind, the eye, and indeed the whole body, as nothing else can do. Tennis, however, seems to be taking the lead in our Athletics. Three years ago we had only one court, in which very little interest was manifested ; now we have six first class ones. What is a nicer thing for a young lady than tennis? Every muscle of the body is brought into play, and we learn to act quickly and accurately and to be graceful in movement. We have some fine players and we are looking forward to the time when we can play other schools. Our Vice-President himself is a splendid player, and is always ready to help the girls in any way he is able. The younger girls have organized a Croquet Club. They are able to obtain much pleasure and profit from this very interesting sport. During the past year, the Hillman girls have taken a more active interest in ath- letics than ever before and have accomplished more. Still there is room for great im- provement. To the girls of next year, we give this advice: Get busy at the beginning of the session and stay busy till the close of the session.

The Spring and Summer parasols are just darlings. The favorites appear to be those in cerise and black and white plaids. The “dome” of last year is a stylish little shape and the “Liberty Bell” is a dashing little novelty. I priced just a few and the prices are so very reasonable that I was delighted. The next time you come over we will go down to Downing Locke’s and select one of these darling parasols for you as well as one of these Foulard silk dresses that are so pretty this season. — and oh! I almost forgot the millinery, it is just lovely. The prices seem so small when you look at these beauties. Hurry up and come over soon. With Fondest Love, Carrie. $tmmommomm°mmomm° mm mmommommommomm°mmm ix - IX o IX Bank of Clinton CLINTON, MISS. We give special attention to College Students.
