Verna, Mississippi. “Thou whose exterior semblance doth belie Thy souls immensity.” Buena is the quietest girl in the Senior Class. She has never been knowm to give any trouble or say hard things to any one. She is a good student and a hard worker, and if she continues as she has this one year we have known her, we can truthfully say she is sure to succeed. Ruth Birdsong, M.L. Bolton, Mississippi. “A countenance in which doth meet Siveet records, promises as sweet.” O! that we might sound with lulling melody the beautiful harmony of this song bird. Ruth is a popular girl and what- ever she is we always find her wearing a pleasant smile. Yet she is such a baby that almost every Saturday night catches her on the way home. 22 Callie Eads Dudley, B.A. Utica, Mississippi. “A face with gladness overspread “Soft smiles by human kindness bred This little bunch of quietness came to us a few years ago and has indeed won many, many friends. Although quiet and un- assuming she is a very hard working stu- dent. She will always have the love and devotion of her classmates and well may we say, “The wisest one, in general, is he who does not think he is so.” Mittie Terrell Fortinberry, M.L. Osyka, Mississippi. “And oh! her eyes were in themselves a soul ” Now it’s a shame to tell it on her, but Mittie has a “yaller streak” to her. At least it would be a shame, but her “yaller streak” is in her hair and such a wealth of glistening sunshine you never saw except in her merry, laughing eyes. They bring Midsummer spirit in the deariest of wintry gloom and her sweet and kindly presence is a continual Ray of gladness to even the faithful Bernards of the campus. Mittie is one of our best musicians and we’re prophesying great things for her. Annie Laurie Eager, M.L. Clinton, Mississippi. Her presence blends its warmth and health To all who come before it.” This fair lass is one of the two town girls who make up our crew. “Lau” is quiet and reserved, but she also possesses the true qualities which go to make up a lady. She is “wise to resolve and patient to perform.” Through her diligent work she serves as a member of the Annual Staff. 23 ILJIIil T IH Winona Kossuth Hammond, M.L. Columbia, Mississippi. “I am Sir Oracle , And when I ope my lips let no dog bark” Hush! Listen! What is this? Only Winona who has been with us three years. Winona possesses the true and valuable art of making friends; at first acquaintance she seems an old friend. May her life be crowned with blossoming success. Mattie Jones Justice, M.L. Rayville, Louisiana. “And still the wonder grew That one small head could carry all she knew.” Here’s to the one alien of our class. Mattie has been with us only two years, but during her stay has proven her great love for literature. She has read every- thing from comic papers to the deepest philosophic treatises. Mattie is an enthusi- astic worker and has well won the line. “None but herself can be her parallel.” Sarah Elizabeth Johnston, M.L. Gloster, Mississippi. “For never saw I mein or face In which more plainly I could trace Benignity and home-bred sense.” “Love spends his all and still has store.” This we can truthfully say of our much loved President and Editor-in-Chief. Sarah always has a kind and loving word for every one she meets. The troubled and aching heart finds comfort in her words and cheer in her kindly feeling. Terah Naomi Lovell, M.L. Brookhaven, Mississippi. “I have no superfluous leisure. My stay must be stolen out of other affairs .” ’Twas the good county of Lincoln that gave us our much loved “Tee.” Her stu- dious mood and laughing way display her pleasant disposition. Success will crown her in whatever path she chooses. Polka McIntyre, M.L. Johns, Mississippi. Her very frowns are fairer far Than smiles of other maidens are.” “Yes, that’s her.” Look at her picture. She is the “Polkiest” girl in our class, but by far not the dullest. Polka is kind- hearted, conscientious and true. By her independence and well balanced dignity she has won the admiration and love of all. She may teach next year, provided, Master Cupid can be persuaded to leave Johns. It is very true, “A little body doth often har- bor a great soul.” Geneva Kennebrew, M.L. Hazelhurst, Mississippi. By my troth, my little body is weary of this great world.” Geneva is one of our most faithful girls. She is a true friend and always is glad to lend “a helping hand” to any one in trouble. By her constant cheerfulness she has won the hearts of all who know her. Trying experiments in Chemistry is her specialty for they always ( ?) turn out just right. 25 Ouida Reddoch, M.L. Taylorsville, Mississippi. “With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come.” This young lass came to us from Taylors- ville and has well proven herself worthy of the love of every girl. Long years ago it was propresied she would shine resplendant in all the circles of this grand old institu- tion, — and ably has she carried out this prophesy. “Of manners gentle and ever mild,” is her motto. Sara Katherine Smith, M.L. Clarksdale, Mississippi. Divinely tall, and ?nost divinely fair.” This fair queen of the delta came to us many, many years ago. In every thing we have undertaken Kate has proved a help- ful worker. In seeing the many things at which Kate is good we may well term her “Jack-of-all-trades,” and say besides, “O, what may woman within her hide.” We prophecy for Kate a brilliant and successful future. Gertrude Elizabeth Summers, M.L. Brookhaven, Mississippi. “Full rich nature , free to trust. Truthful and even sternly just.” Gertrude is a fine friend and a persistent student. Her favorite past time is “going to Walsh.” When some folks announce their court they cry “Oyez,” but Gertrude simply yells, “Ola!” And the courtin’ be- gins — which is a very natural sport in Summers. Of course Summers are Annual and this particular one is a perfect daisy on our Annual. She has the push and endur- ance of a regular Pioneer family and we could never have won out if the one out had been the one this write up’s talking so much about. 1 ® 1 4 — 26 TU Ruth Clarke White, M.L. Brandon, Mississippi. “But heaven in thy creation did decree that in thy face sweet love should ever dwell ” Now it came to pass in the days when Dr. Spot ruled that education thrived. And a certain man of Brandon went to sojourn in the land of Hillman, he and his daughter, Ruth. Now the daughter was a comely maid of pleasing mien and strong active mind. Like the Moabitish damsel, straying through the fields one day, she met “Boaz” and when, in conducting chapel, he feelingly reads, “Entreat me not to leave thee,” a great resolve springs into her heart to endeavor not to ever dis- appoint “The Little Minister.” Ola Ruth Walsh, M.L. Leesburg, Mississippi. “Hath she her faults f I would you had them too . They are the fruity must of soundest wine ' This Christmas present came to us Many(?) years ago. She is very affec- tionate and kind. During the four long years which she has spent at Hillman every girl who has come into contact with her has loved her. We predict for her a successful career. Pearl Wylie, M.L. Clinton, Mississippi. Thru thine eyes even in thy soul I see A lamp of vestal fire burning eternally ” This little “wild-cat” is a native of this city and seems to be the only one of her kind in captivity. No one seems to fear her for she appears quite tame. She is a jolly and cheerful lass and is always in for fun. She continually shines in Chemistry and can ask more questions than any lawyer could answer. “A perfect woman, nobly planned, to warn to comfort and com- mand.” 191 - 27 T H E P Senior HE twilight deepened ; I sat alone and intent in thought, when all at once a deep, mysterious voice said, “Behold! Unto you is given an insight into the future of the class of 1914.” Immediately the room was transfigured; and where I had heard the voice there slowly rose a great curtain, on which was printed in large letters, “Curtain of Time.” I looked beyond and the first place I recognized was my Alma Mater. Then I realized that a number of years had passed and in place of the Hillman that I knew there stood great, towering buildings; and great was mv surprise when I beheld Annie Laurie Eager sitting at the teacher’s desk in a beautiful class-room, with all kinds of Geometries and Astronomies around her. I looked a little farther and recognized the same old Mississippi College chapel. Every thing else on the campus was changed. The Mississippi College of old had given place to a great Baptist Theological Seminary, which claimed as its president one of the members of the class at Mississippi College in 1914. The president’s home appeared, and then his wife ; her face looked familiar and when I heard a masculine voice call “Rastus,” I knew it was Ruth White. When I recognized Ruth my next thought was of Polka McIntyre. Immediately the scene changed, and I saw’ a Methodist Col- lege in a strange town ; I was not at all surprised when I saw 7 that Polka was “Dean” of the college — in more ways than one. In now turned my eyes toward the North, and my gaze was fixed on the city of New York. I saw a large building before which hung this sign: “Misses Ferguson and Justice. Up to date Dancing School.” A little farther on was Wall Street, where I noticed that a great crowd had gathered ; and standing near in a large touring car w T as Ola Walsh, pleading and gesticulating with all her might for “Votes for Women.” Just then something drew’ my eyes across the Atlantic to London. Could it be? Yes, it was Bessie Reeves, whom some one was introducing as “Our new r American Ambassador’s wife.” I found myself next watching the quiet and skillful hand of a nurse, as she assisted with a serious operation in a large hospital in Paris. She turned ; and under her nurse’s cap I recognized Callie Dudley. My attention was now ' turned to Africa and I saw Ouida Reddoch. The mail carrier called, “A letter for your husband.” She took it and I saw that it was addressed to Rev. , Missionary to Africa. A beautiful island arrested my attention. It was Cuba; I looked a little closer and there I saw Sarah Johnston teaching music. An airship appeared upon the scene. After it had slowly descended, I saw a hand- some man alight and following him was Geneva Kinnebrew. Then I knew’ that they had just returned from their honey moon. ZZ=Z== 11 ©l 4 Prophecy 28 TH Once more the Scene was changed, and I saw a beautiful city in Florida sur- rounded by orange groves. It was night and in front of a large building in the suburbs was an electric sign, which read, “Home for Bachelor Maids.” A voice called “Pearl it is time to feed our cats,” and then I recognized Kate Smith and Pearl Wylie. I turned my eyes toward the West, and saw Buena Andrews reigning as queen of a home on a large ranch. Still farther I say Gertrude Summers “weilding the rod” in a prominent school in Oregon. At the head of the large Expression department connected with it was Winona Hammond whose beaming, intellectual face told me that her many dreams of taking a course in “Randolph Macon” had been realized. In Colorado, the State election had just been held ; the governor’s inauguration was about to begin; the victorious candidate stepped forth and I beheld Ruth Birdsong. The vision faded and in its place I saw a great audience in St. Louis entrance by the music of a world renowned pianist — and that pianist was Mittie Fortinberrv. The curtain began to fall and I heard that same voice say, “Look quickly toward Brazil. “ I looked, and saw a solitary woman in a mission station; and then the voice said, “That woman is yours — .” But the curtain was down and I heard and saw no more. Senior History C HAT History does not always repeat itself is plainly seen in the class of ’14. We have all kinds of girls — long girls, short girls, fat girls and slim girls, girls w r ho have assembled from Lake Geneva and from Buena Vista. We have girls w T ho are “Eager” and girls who give “Justice.” Some desire to be “Song Birds” and others long to become “Stringers” of hearts. One is particularly fond of the adventures of “Robinson” Crusoe w T hile another enjoys studying problems in terms of “C.” We have another who expects to be a missionary and gather “Pearls” along the “Reeves” of the South Sea Islands and then return to her work in “Phillip”pi, while another of our class is strictly “Buddhist.” One is desirous of becoming an Astrologer “Lest — er Sam” prevents and one de- lights to spend most of her time walking in the “Parks.” We have one girl who will say “By George” occasionally while on the other hand one is very “Sunny.” All of the girls expect to do “Moore” toward being in “Ernest” and we all know how T to treat you “White.” After scaling the mountain peaks of English and History; listening to Mrs. Lewis’ talks on Physiology; crawling slowly up the heights of Geometry and gazing at the stars with Miss Gurney; experiencing a few explosions in Chemistry with Mr. Berry; and after hearing Miss Barnard’s discourses on Physical Culture and Junior receptions; and MissFrost’s lectures on “Bible,” Ethics, Logic and Athletics we feel that the class of ’14 is able to meet all the obstacles in every phase of life — from the missionary to that of the Star Basketball player of Vassar. U 29 T Ini P 1 © N E “Sigh No More Sigh no more, Seniors, sigh no more, Roll books deceive you ever; All grades are rotten at the core, They will be constant never; Then sigh not so but let things go And be yet blithe and cherry. Just let your room-mates bear the woe And be ye always merry. Cry no more. Seniors, cry no more; For privileges sever The Seniors from the campus bore, To walk alone forever The lectures and the talks galore Forget them and be merry ; Enjoy receptions evermore ; Be always bright and cherry. Sing no more ditties, sing no more; The bells may be confusing, But soon you’ll hear those sounds no more No more of Math, persuing You leave, you know! Then sigh not so But be ye blithe and cherry, For Juniors here will surely grow To take your place so merry. Work no more, Seniors, work no more; For soon you’ll leave forever. What care you for the weeks before? The end is joyous ever. Then work no more ; but let things go And be ye blithe and cherry, Just let the girls remember so That ye were always merry. C. D., ’ ’ll 1 30 A Little Child Shall Lead Them -i - ( ♦ E OR the fifty-sixth time since five o’clock Aubrey Applewhite quickly jerked his watch from his pocket. “Lord bless me, Ole Lady, if it isn’t five minutes after seven.” “Nothing remarkable about that,” explained Ray Craig. “But you know the reception begins at seven thirty, and — .” “Of course we can’t walk to the State in twenty-five minutes! Oh no!” said Ray. It was the first day of April, there was to be a reception at Hillman that night. After several glances into the mirror, Aubrey, with his friend went to the college. Both were Seniors in Mississippi College and both were interested in Hillman College (or rather its inmates). Aubrey’s “Stute girl” was a young lady of the Senior class, and Ray’s — well all of them were his. On this particular evening there seemed to be more young men than usual at the reception and Aubrey found it very annoying. He knew 7 that as popular as his girl was he could talk to her only a few minutes at a time and he didn’t exactly fancy any such conversations. Ray at first did not wish to meet any one and so stayed on the outside listening to a group of boys telling their experiences of getting “stuck.” No longer able to resist the merry laughter within, he found himself inside the door glanc- ing around. Ray actually laughed aloud as he saw his roommate standing back in the corner by one of the windows, scrowling across the room. Straight-way he proceeded to find the cause of that offensive look and was not surprised to find that it had its be- ginning and end in a young man across the room, who was doing nothing more or less than talking to a young lady. It was Aubrey’s rival, — and evidently putting in good time. Ray soon reached his room-mate’s side as he gazed gloomily out the window. “By the way, old fellow,” he exclaimed, slapping him on the back, “Have you seen anything of Alice? Have been looking every where for her and she is not to be found.” “Not to be found? Confound you, where are your eyes? She is in the most conspicuous place in the room and talking to that — that — Jack Rundell!” “Well if you don’t like it why don’t you take his place and then — get her out of the most conspicuous place in the room?” “Just what I’ll do! Why, I hadn’t thought of it before? Where can I find some one to present me?” Soon Aubrey was in the place which he coveted most. “Alice, suppose we find a place where — well where we won’t be bothered so much?” ventured Aubrev. “Why Aubrey, what is it? You look as if you had just wakened from a bad dream,” laughed Alice. “Just as you say. Where do you want to go?” “Oh, I know a nice place back in the conservatory — and no one is there,” he whispered to himself. “Alice, dear,” Aubrey began before they were fairly seated, “I am going to ask you to do something that I know will surprise you, but I hope you will care enough for me to do it. I have told you more than once that I love you, and listen, Alice, I want you to marry me — at ONCE! I have planned every detail, and if you will only — .” “But Aubrey, what about school? What do you expect me to do? I would be willing perhaps to marry you now, but how could it be done? I’m still in the dormi- tory you know.” 31 V T U “Why of course 1 know that, and that’s what I’m trying to tell you. If you will only do as I say we can both get away from here without any trouble. Ahem ! Three consecutive coughs were given — but neither Alice nor Aubrey heard them. Tom Darnell and Mary Strauss were sitting behind some big ferns and every word that had been said distinctly reached their ears. Mary and Alice were staunch friends. Mary knew that Alice loved Aubrey Applewhite and hoped that some day they would marry, but she had never fancied that it would happen while they were in school, and never in all her wild flights of imagination had she pictured herself, Mary Strauss, listening, unwillingly, to their plans. There seemed, however, nothing else to do but sit quietly by and await developments. Tom wondered at the complete oblivion of the couple near them. Nevertheless he heard the conversation proceed with never a hitch and he wondered how long young Applewhite had been preparing this wonderful plot. “You see,” continued Aubrey, “This is the first of April. Next Monday will be the fifth. Monday night you meet me under that large tree in front of the Hall here. Mr. Hansom, whom I will have waiting at the depot will marry us and we will go to Vicksburg on the first train. Will you promise me — .” “Alice,” the voice was that of a teacher, “excuse me for interrupting, but I’ve been looking everywhere for you. Here’s a young man who wishes to meet you. Miss Huntington, Mr. Godfrey.” Aubrey stood up, as cool and collected as though he’d been exchanging jokes with a college friend. “Miss Huntington, 1 will return in a short while for the answer to that — er — conundrum I gave you. Don’t forget, now,” said Mr. Applewhite, as he turned away. Time passed, and many young men came to meet Miss Huntington, but Aubrey did not return. The bell rang and still he did not come. “Mr. Nobles, have you a little scrap of paper on which I may write a note? And will you excuse me while I write it?” Alice quickly wrote the following: “Mr. Applewhite, ’Twas after all an easy riddle and required very little thought. The answer is — ‘Y-e-s. S-e-v-e-n o’-c-l-o-c-k. R-a-i-n o-r s-h-i-n-e.’ Alice.” “You won’t mind giving this to Mr. Applewhite for me, will you, Mr. Nobles?” asked Alice smiling. She said good-night and ran up the stairs to her room. “O— h! now you see what we’ve done!” cried Mary to Mr. Darnell. “We’ve — we’ve eave-dropped and — and now we know IT.” “Ha! Ha! Ha! That’s the best one on Applewhite, I’ve heard in all my life! Reckon what she said to him in that note? I’d give my last cent to know. By George, if we don’t have some fun! Have the preacher waiting at the depot, eh? Ha! Ha!” “Listen, Tom, please don’t say anything about this for you see Alice is in this thing too, and — and really we were not supposed to hear it. And if this should be found out, why, she’d be expelled. Don’t tell it, Tom.” “Oh, well; if you say so I’ll try not to tell it; but, honestly, Mary, that’s the best thing, yet.” He having promised her again, not to say anything about it, shook hands and parted. The fifth of April was a rainy day and the streets were almost deserted. Alice Huntington was very glad that the day was so favorable for carrying out their plans. She packed her suit-case and tied it with a rope. She put her jewels and what little money she had in her hand-bag, got out her cap, suit, and every thing she would need, so that she might dress quickly after supper. 1 32 At last the bell rang and Mary and Alice went down together. Supper over, she and Mary started to their rooms when the latter innocently asked, “Alice, will you help me with my Chemistry?” “Why, yes, Fll— “Oh! but I’d forgotten, I can’t come until after eight o’clock for I’ve promised to do something else.” “Come to my room any time, dear,” said Alice with a smile. Half past six. Only one more hour and she would be gone forever! She hastily put on her suit ; but slipped her kimona on over it, — the girls must not see her dressed as if going some where at this time of night. Then she took her suit-case in her hand, slipped through the hall and out on the back porch. She carefully slipped the suit-case over the banister and, holding to the rope, let it rest upon the ground below. “Now for my room and away from here. That think will be as wet as a drowned rat before I get it out of that water.” She went back to her room ; took her cap and rain-coat ; slipped them under her kimona and made her way for the stair-case leading to the dining room. “Suppose the back door is locked ! I guess I’ll — .” “My! My! Alice, what’s the matter with you?” exclaimed Mary, who bumped against her as she turned the corne.r Alice did not stop. “What’s she going to do with that. kimona? Guess I’d better go down and bring it up, when she’s gone. Hope they won’t catch her.” Alice found the back door still open, so she left her kimona on a chair and slipped into her rain-coat and out she went. She ran around the house and finally succeeded in fishing her suit-case out of the water and hurried out to the tree. Having arrived before her lover, all might have been well, had she sat down and waited ; but thinking over the things she had, she thought of her purse she had left. “What shall I do? I know. I’ll leave my suit-case here on the bench and if Aubrey comes while I’m gone, he’ll wait for me.” So back she ran. In the meantime some of the boys on the campus were having no end of fun. Tom Darnell had gone to Applewhite’s room to study with Ray. Craig saw Aubrey’s watch lying on the table and determined to play a joke, turned the watch up half an hour and placed it back where he had found it. Aubrey was packing his suit-case, for which he had made an excuse to Ray, but Tom saw it at once and was in for having some fun, so he left the room after a few minutes. “Say, Ole Lady,” he exclaimed as he burst into his room, “Suppose we have a little fun.” He then told him of all that he had heard at the “Stute.” “Tell you what, Ole Lady, suppose we go down and get Jones, he talks just like a girl, you know T , — and dress him up in some of his sister’s clothes, and take him down yonder and pass him off as M iss Huntington. I don’t know what time Applewhite is going after her, but I’ll watch his room and then we’ll cut across and beat him there.” So three of the boys went to Jones’ home and Tom watched for Aubrey. When he saw Aubrey come out he ran across the campus to the Jones’ home and the five boys ran on ahead. “How in the Sam Hill do you expect me to run with this plagued old skirt on? Can’t hardly walk,” protested Mr. Jones. “Well, we’ve heat him here at any rate, boys.” “Be careful now. You three stay here and Jones and I will look under that tree in front of the Hall.” “By the way! What’s this here? A suit-case! Bv George, she’s been here and gone. Went back for something, I bet.” “Look Darnell! Who’s that coming? Isn’t it Applewhite? You’d better hide behind the tree.” “That you Alice?” whispered Aubrey. You dear girl, you! I’m the happiest man alive, Alice.” And he made an attempt to take her in his arms. 33 T 1H Oh, no! Not yet. Wait until we’re married. Had we not better go? Here’s my suit-case. I’m afraid it’s ruined, it is so wet. I thought you would never come. I waited and waited.” “Bless your little heart! My watch must have been slow for I started before seven. Darling, I hate for you to be out in this weather. You’ll take cold.” “I ' m uneasy about mv hat. You see I didn’t wear my ‘Stute’ cap for fear of being caught.” “Mr. Hanrom is going to be out on the other side of the depot and marry us in one of tho;e box cars, because it’s so miserably w T et outside.” “In a box car, dear?” (This for the benefit of Tom behind the tree). Little was said on their way to the depot. They were both thinking and often “Alice” became so amused that “she” laughed to herself. “What is it that amuses you, dear?” “I was only thinking of what we are doing tonight. Do you know I think this is the silliest— and funniest scrape I’ve ever been into. I’d love to see the faculty in the morning.” “Yes, but in the morning you and I will be in another city.” They had reached the depot, and Aubrey set the suit-case down and started inside the door, but Alice caught his arm with a strong grip. “Let’s don’t go in there now. Suppose we go and get this other business off hand first.” “It’s perfectly all right with me. We can get the tickets afterward.” As they turned the corner they met Mr. Hansom, who was walking the floor restlessly. “Why hello Applewhite! I’d about given you up. Thought maybe you failed to get your girl.” “No, indeed. We’re ready now. Let’s get out of the rain. Aren’t those cars open? Suppose we go in the first one there. I don’t exactly fancy being married in a box car, but if Miss — .” “I would be willing to marry you anywhere, Aubrey, let’s hurry and get through. It is most train time.” “The car was dark except the light which shone from the post near by. Jones knew that the boys were going to interrupt this thing, but he didn’t quite understand how it was going to be done. In a few minutes, if nothing prevented, he would be Mrs. Applewhite. The minister began the ceremony and then asked, “Do you take this man as your lawful husband ?” There came a great shout from the end of the car and the boys rushed in and threw a flashlight fulHnto Jones’ face; knocked off his hat exposing his wig. And Applewhite — ? — well, that young gentleman said not a word. He jumped out of the car and disappeared in the darkness. An thus ended the Huntington-Applewhite attempt at marriage. It was in the month of August. Alice Huntington, with a little six year old niece was spending the month in Biloxi. The hotel was crowded and Alice and her niece occupied a room on the second floor near the rear of the building. From her window she had a clear view of the beautiful white beach and she loved to watch the children playing there. One morning as Alice Lynn, Alice’s little niece, was playing all alone in the sand, a younir man came bv and stopped. “Hello little girl,” how are you?” “I’m a’wight, t’ank you,” replied Alice with a sweet smile. “May I play with you? I got left out of the picnic party and I’d like to play with a little girl like you.” “But you’re too big to make play houses, aren’t you? asked Alice Lynn. “Maybe so; but tell me your name.” “Alice Lynn,” she told him solemnly. 34 T H INI I knew it was Alice.” “How’d you know ?” “Because you smile like Alice’s smile.” “Alices don’t all smile alike, do they?” “No, but two of them do, Alice — Lynn. He said her name with a pause between the two. You might have thought the one or the other had for him some significance.” “Tell me a fairy tale, if you know any,” said the child. He began telling her stories, and at eleven o’clock they still sat and talked. He had told her that his name was Apples, when suddenly a voice behind them said, Alice Lynn, come to the house with me.” At this sound Apples rose to his feet, turned to face the voice and found before him a young woman he’d seen many times. At the sight of the young man, Alice’s memory turned back as the softly curved red mouth set itself into straight proud lines. Apples was, alas, no longer Apples. He stood very straight and erect. “It’s Apples, Aunt Alice,” said Alice Lynn, “he’s coming every day and he wouldn’t mind if you came too.” The girl smiled scornfully, upon Apples, who spoke very slowly, “I didn’t know at first who she was, and then when she told me her name and I saw her smile, I knew 7 she must be related to you. I’m afraid that this will be the last.” “You know him? You know Apples, Aunt Alice?” cried Alice Lynn. “Yes, my child, I know 7 him,” said Alice. Nothing more was said and Alice left him there standing on the white sand. The next day and the next and the next Alice Lynn kept a wary eye on the beach in the hopes that Apples would come back. One day Alice Lynn was taken sick, the doctor was sent for and she was put to bed, even though it was only early afternoon and the sun was shining brightly. “I wish I could see Apples,” said Alice Lynn fretfully. The doctor came; he slipped a thermometer under Alice Lynn’s tongue; he felt her pulse and listened with his ear at her back while she breathed ; and then he whispered something to Aunt Alice that made her cry out. That night Alice Lynn could not sleep ; she talked always about Apples and begged him to tell her stories. How 7 long she called no one knew, but she always wanted Apples. The doctor, finally, said that she must have Apples and Aunt Alice w 7 ent directly out of the room. She wrote Mr. Applewhite a few black lines on a piece of white paper, that w 7 ere like branches of leafless trees against a wintry sky. As she signed her name a tear fell upon the paper. She then went back to sit by Alice Lynn’s bedside and think about — Alice Lynn — about Apples. It seemed an eternity before the door opened and admitted Apples; his eyes first met Alice’s as he took one little hot hand in his and spoke to her, she only stared and did not seem to know 7 him. He knelt by the bed and talked to her in his calm sweet voice, telling her stories. It was early in the morning that Apples announced to the doctor that the child was sleeping. “Just the thing she needed,” said the doctor. “Now 7 you may take some rest, Apples, but stay near, so you may be called if necessary.” “You w 7 ill stay won’t you?” asked Aunt Alice. He gently bow r ed. During the following days Apples sat by the bedside of the child telling her stories. The first day that Alice Lynn was able to be up, she missed Aunt and Apples. “Peggy, where’s Aunt Alice?” “I think she’s in the parlor, honey.” “Take me to her, Peggy.” The door was pushed open and Peggy entered, “Hello, little fairy girl,” cried Applewhite. “He’s mine, Aunt Alice, he’s my Apples!” “Yes, dear, but he’s mine, too, now.” Truly a little child shall lead them.

She was listening to the click of the mower outside, when suddenly the doorbell rang. “I wonder what that man wants now,” she said, thinking that it was the hired man who very often came to inquire about his tools. She went to the door and a messenger boy handed her a telegram. She took it and went into the room to read it and as she read her pink face turned white. What am I to do?” she said to herself, Helen will be here tomorrow. “Oh! what shall I do?” After thinking a few minutes she carried the book back to the boy. “Do you wish to send an answer?” the boy said. “No,” replied Mary as she turned to go back into the house. She was very much worried for the telegram was from one of her school-mates, whom she had made believe she was very wealthy. Helen, her school-mate said she would be by Mary’s house that very day on her way to Denver. As Mary sat thinking she heard a buggy coming, which she supposed was her mother coming from town. In a few ' minutes her mother drove up at the gate and Mary went out to help her with her bundles and things which she had brought from town. They had been in the house only a few minutes, when a big automobile drove up to the gate and a very imposing looking gentleman got out and rang the door bell. Marv heard the bell ring and said, “Mother go out there and tell those people that the Sanford ' s have gone away to spend the summer.” “Why must I do that?” asked her mother. “Well, you go on and say it and I’ll tell you later on,” said Mary. Her mother went to the door and the man said, , “Good-morning, ma’am, can you tell me where the Sanfords live?” “Yes,” said the mother, “they live in the big white house on the hill, but they have gone away to spend the summer.” “Is there a hotel near here when we could get dinner?” asked the man. “No, there’s not a hotel within eleven miles of here,” said Mrs. Sanford. “Could you fix us some dinner, then, the man asked. “Yes, if you will come in and wait about a half hour,” she replied. She invited them into her small parlor and, on her way to the kitchen, went through the room where Mary was. Mary had heard all that had been said, and was lying on the bed with a heavy heart. “Mary, I’ve done it and now I want to know what this means,” said her mother. Mary, then, told her the whole story about how she had deceived her friends in school and how she had made the girls believe she was rich and how she felt she could not let this girl know how poor she was. 114 47 T Her mother went on in the kitchen to prepare the meal and left Mary by herself. As Mary lay there on the bed, she could hear the people in the parlor criticising the small room and the cheap furniture. She also heard the man mocking her mother about what she said to him at the door. The voice she heard most in these criticisms she recognized as Helen’s. She debated for a few minutes and then decided she could bear it no longer. “I will go in there and let them know who I am,” she said to herself. She arose and walked slowly to the parlor door. They were all very busy talking and did not notice her until she was near the middle of the room standing by Helen’s chair. Helen looked up and was so surprised to see her schoolmate, she was speechless for a minute. Then she arose and said, “Mary, is this really you?” and “Can it be possible that this is your home?” “Yes,” said Mary, “I live here. I just came in to tell you that the poor lady you were making fun of a few moments ago, is my mother. I heard you talking about her and could not stand it any longer. When I was in school the other girls had so many nice things that I could not have. I persuaded my mother to mortgage her place to get money to buy such things for me. I made you all believe that I was rich, and oh, I am so sorry and ashamed, and have come in to tell you just how things are. Can you ever have any respect for me again?” Helen was so surprised at all this she hardly knew what to say, but she forgave Mary and told her if she would come back to school the next year, she w T ould be glad to help her through. Although Mary felt thoroughly ashamed of the deception she had practiced on Helen, her parents were so pleasant and simple in their manners that the little dinner passed off happily, and after the company had gone Mary stood and watched them until they were out of sight, and as she turned to go back into the house she resolved that she would always tell the truth in the future. Poem In the Spring time, O my mother, When the earth with joy is blest And the school girls all are hast’ning In their new clothes to be dressed; When the dress I’ve worn all winter Is about worn out at best Will you think of me and send me Something better for a rest? In the Spring time, O my mother, Think not hard of me I pray, Though I cannot wear the same dress Quite forever and for aye, As my elbows ’gin to peer throu gh Just as if they feel quite gay, It is best to get a new robe Ere the season slips away. 11 4 48 49 Hi lilin Freshmen OFFICERS Agnes May McComb Fannie Lee Parker Yolande Clark Jamie Bishop Eula Cupit Flower: White Clover President Vice-President Secretary and Treasurer Poet Artist Colors: White and Green Motto: After cloud comes sunshine, After work comes play.

Hanks as president, progressed rapidly for awhile, but after a number of years the enthusiasm subsided. When in 1900 the Adelian Society was formed, a friendly rivalry sprang up and a new start was made by the Lesbians. Each member of the society became more interested in the work and took an active part in everything done. Last session the reception given by the Lesbians was the best they have ever had. Their best anniversary was given during the session of 1909 and 1910. In their anni- versary play, “The Princess,” bv Tennyson, the Lesbians portrayed their truest spirit. The telling work of the society members was seen in every part of the program. This year new enthusiasm is being aroused along new lines. What has been done is not enough to satisfy its members; all are anxious to see more accomplished and are willing to lend a helping hand. With such a great past and with such a bright future we hope to be able to give a good anniversary this session, even excelling the one of 1910, if such is possible. When this session has closed may there be even greater things seen in the future toward which the Lesbians may look. r i 68 The Adelian Society Adelian Officers With the exercise of the mental qualities comes intellectual growth. The proper care and exercising of the physical being transforms the weak into the strong. Con- current with these facts, the conclusion is naturally drawn that the great strength and prominence now enjoyed by the Adelian Society is a direct result of the proper management and keen conception of the true purpose from first organization. But as strength has increased, we unanimously agree that the wisdom of those in official capacity has increased in like proportion. During the session of 19 12- 13, the Adelian Society was governed by some of the most brilliant intellects of Hillman Col- lege. One distinguishing feature of the work of the session 1 91 2-1 3 was the presenta- tion of a two act comedy entitled, “Mr. Bob” in the Mississippi College chapel. This feature of last session will long be remembered as the most brilliant attempt on the amateur stage since the founding of the college. No less distinguished has been the work of session 19 13-14. In a quiet, modest way the society has constantly worked to give to the world an ideal type of woman- hood, going out to exert a beneficial influence in the political, social and moral world. Having kept the faith and constantly striven to accomplish their true purpose, that of individual advancement in intellectuality, society and morality, we are constrained to wish them well in every undertaking. Long live the Adelian Literary Society! 69 70 Fraternity Poem We build us temples, tall and grand ; With gifts we heap their altars, Unheeding how, on every hand, The hungry and the naked cry. We sound our creeds in trumpet tone; With zeal we compass land and sea, Unmindful of the sob and moan, Of souls that yearn for sympathy. We hurl to hell ; we bear above ; With equal ease we loose or bind, Forgetful quite that God is Love, And Love is large and broad and kind. O, Thou Eternal Largeness, teach Our petty, shrivelled souls to swell Till thou, within their ampler reach. And every human heart may dwell. Till Love alone becomes the creed Of every nation, tribe and clan — The Fatherhood of God, indeed, The blessed Brotherhood of Man. :the piomeer Senior Expression Recitals Selected Wilson Smith Josephine D.

W. A. Last year we boasted of having the best Y. VV. A. that Hillman college had ever had, but when we come to think of this now, we must consider the Y. W. A. of this year, and no sooner do we do this than we have to say at once — “19 13- 14 has seen the best year’s work that this Y. W. A. has ever known.” First, a great interest has been manifested among the girls, — due in a large measure, perhaps, to the untiring efforts of our efficient leader, Mrs. W. Y. Quisen- berry. It has been a great help and inspiration to every Y. W. A. girl to be led by such a noble, Christian woman ; and in the years to come her life and work among us, this year, will shine out before each girl — whatever course of life she may be pursuing. One proof of our progress this year is that at the beginning of the session we selected a Y. W. A. cabinet, an advancement not having been made by our Society prior to this session. Another proof is that we were represented by two of our mem- bers at the great Student’s Conference recently held at Kansas City. They came back to us greatly inspired and through them we have been made to realize more forcibly the world importance of this great Student Volunteer Movement. We are are also proud of the fact that a majority of the girls in school were enrolled in the mission study classes. This has been an interesting feature of the Y. W. A. work, and we feel sure that lasting impressions have been made through the maintenance of these classes. We have had regular Y. W. A. meetings each Sunday afternoon throughout the session, and have varied the programs a great deal. By doing this we have kept up an interest among the girls, as well as having given them something helpful. Not only do we believe that the girls have derived something good from the Y. W.

Daily, hourly we grow in athletic achievements and each year while it lasts is the most glorious of them all. It is said, “The Spartans are the healthiest of all Greeks, and among them are found the finest men and handsomest women in Greece,” and the reason for this is that they spend most of their time in the open air and take plenty of exercise. We have begun to realize that physical training should be regarded as of equal importance with mental training, especially should it be practiced during school life. Our aim is to develop our bodies along with our minds, that Hillman may send out rosy-cheeked, bright eyed girls, as well as highly accomplished ones. Games are very useful and ought to be encouraged. We have croquet, tennis, baseball, and basketball, from the weakest to the strongest girl can have a share in one game at least, according to her physical ability. On the sixteenth of December, the Seniors played the Juniors the first inter-class basketball game. This one never-to-be-forgotten game was bursting with excitement every minute and created such an up-roaring college spirit as has never before been dreamed of in these old halls. The Junior class is proud to claim the “Star” player of the evening, Maggie Tate. On account of her steady nerve as goal thrower she won the championship for the Junior class. Tennis! We would be willing to challenge any school in the State, for we feel sure Kate Smith would carry off the laurels over any of her competitors. The best thing of the year lies ahead — Mr. Berry is having a first class baseball diamond drawn off, and all the girls are looking forward to the inter-class games, regardless of the bruised fingers to which the director of music seriously objects. Yes, H. C. girls, We’re the best ; All the rest Envy us — well I gues s: We’re all right, Yes, out of sight; A jolly set — Yes, you bet. H. C. 93 Miss Sallie Johnston to the Annual Staff (With apologies to Spartacus and His Gladiators.) E CALL me chief: and ye do well to call her chief who for nine long months has met upon the Hillman campus every shape of soliciting agent which the publishing and engraving establishments could furnish, and has never yet met her match. If there be one among you who say that ever in public writing or in private conversation, my actions do belie my tongue, let her stand forth and say it. If there be three in your whole company who can get more subscrip- tions than I, let them come on. And yet it was not always thus, a tired writer, an editor-in-chief, with eight more sassy helpers. My ancestors sent me to old Clinton and I settled among the vine-clad trees and pecan groves of Hillman. My early life was buried in the books in w hich I studied : and when last Spring they gathered the girls together to elect a new T staff, I was made chief, and you who are with me were elected to assist me in the task. We put our heads together and thought we had an easy job. One evening after this session had opened and we were all seated beneath the electric light, we were talking of L’Allegro and The Pioneer, and how 7 the year before the little band of Editors in spite of their difficulties had gotten out such a nice annual. I did not know then what work was; but my cheeks burned, I know not why, and I turned the leaves of those splendid books, until Miss Bennett pulling my hands from off my forehead rang the bell in my throbbing ears and bade me go to my room and talk no more after light bell about those blooming books. That very week we landed on the business men for “ads.” I saw the girls who had chummed with me dodge to keep from subscribing. The fleeing bodies of my schoolmates shunned me as they hid about the buildings. Today I dunned a man on the campus, and when he opened his pocketbook, be- hold ! he was broke. He looked at me, smiled faintly, grabbed his hat and fled, the same sweet smile that I had marked, when in ’Stute receptions we had slipped apart to get a few soft words together. I told the staff that broke man had been my lover, generous and brave; and I begged that we might give him an annual and we sent it with my compliments. Ay! up in my room, and in the study hall, and on the campus I have worked on this book, while all the assembled stute girls and teachers and the M. C. boys looked on in derision, deeming it rare sport forsooth, to see Hillman’s heavy weight turn pale and tremble at the sight of a piece of poetry or prose. And so, fellow editors, must you and must I work like dogs. Oh! girls! girls! this has been a booger bear to me. Ye stand here now like authors as ye are. The lack of brass is in your bony sinews, but tomorrow’ Mr. Hammersmith will want every dollar we’ve got for that printing. Look! See ye that pile of bills yet unpaid. Three weeks now are past due, but tomorrow they must be paid and a pretty fix we’ll be in. If ye be poets then stand here like sillies and take all the kicks from the critics’ tongue! If ye are sports follow me. Throw 7 down your pens and go back to the country, and there do manual work as did your mamas at the cook stoves. Is the old milk cow 7 dead? Is the churning habit gone out of your veins that you stay in the field of literature and write for a living? O! Comrades; editors; managers; if we must work, let us work for ourselves; if we must write let us write to our sweethearts ; if we must pay bills let us hire an auto, and get out in the clear moonlight and go to the movies with a noble, honorable, good looking man. 94 Annual Staff in Office Sallie Johnston ....

Art Editor 95 THE FBOIMEER Love Love, you know is a wonderful thing, It comes, it goes, it settles at will; It makes the heart ache, it makes it sing; Love is wonderful still. Love you know is a common old thing, It comes to the great, it comes to the small; ’Tis found by the peasant, ’tis found by the king; Love is wonderful all. Love, you know is a curious thing; Without it the world becomes lonesome and drear; With it the moments all gladness bring; Love is wonderful, dear. Love you know is a popular thing, Not that for which flippant hearts long, But the kinds that down through the ages ring; Love is wonderful, strong. Love, you know r is a glorious thing; It caused One to go to the grave and the bier; It caused One to bear the cross’ sting; Love is wonderful, dear. Annie Steen Tate, ’15. Hillman’s Proverbs I. A ball ticket is rather to be chosen than a good report, and Jacob’s candy rather than letters and cards. II. The way of the faculty is forward and strange, but as for the Hillman girls their way is right. III. She who studies in the summer is a wise daughter, but she who sleepeth in church is a daughter that causeth Miss Bennett great shame. IV. The lips of the students feed many ; but teachers die for the want of wisdom. V. Stolen sugar is sweet, and pecans eaten during chapel are pleasant. VI. She that with holdeth knowledge the Faculty shall curse her, but blessing shall be upon the head of her that telleth it. VII. Where no boys are the Stute falls; but in the multitude of boys there is safety. VIII. The tongue of the student is as choice silver; the heart of the Faculty is of little worth. IX. Whoso loveth a Stute Reception loveth knowledge: but she that hateth an Alumni Banquet is brutish. X. Better is it to be eating Kress candy with the lowly than to divide your last dollar with the proud. XI. Better is hash with quietness therewith, than a houseful of dainties with Mrs. Berry mad. VII. The wise girl saith, “There is a teacher without, I shall be caught in the hall.” ISM 96 97 Library We got these ads and the advertisers are all right. Try ’em. Kate and Ruth.
