BERRY Vice-President A better and more popular vice-president there never was. His wit and lack of self- consciousness, besides bis winning personality, honesty, kindness towards everybody, and big-heartedness, make everyone his friend. Besides being our vice-president, he is our efficient science teacher. His long service as treasurer in the Baptist church shows that be knows how to handle money, and would have made good in finan- cial circles, for his business judgment is keen. DR. B. G. LOWREY, LL.D. One of the foremost educators in the entire South is Dr. B. G. Lowrey, who for thirteen years was President of Blue Mountain Col- lege, then for six years was President of Amarillo Texas Military Academy and now is Field Secretary of Mississippi College. His ability is recognized all over the South. His influence as a religious leader is felt through- out this and surrounding states. As a chapel speaker we have never heard his equal. At making and holding friends he has no su- perior. W. T. LOWREY, D.D., LL.D., President There are so many good things about Dr. Lowrey, considering the attractiveness of his personality, the scope of his knowledge, the extent of his denominational and educational activities, the width of his influence for good upon the state, and his position on all impor- tant questions, it would take years to tell. He is a big man — was made in a big mould, and for big things. Dr. Lowrey is one of Mississippi’s most cultured and consecrated ministers, a vigor- ous writer and a Christian gentleman of the highest type. Page Seven MRS. BERRY Hall Teacher Very attractive in personal appearance is our hall teacher. She was once voice teacher of Hillman and a very fine one she was, for she has a beautiful soprano voice. Mrs. Berry has many friends and is loved by all who know her. Her strong will and determination to do what seems right makes her even more attractive. Not a single ’Stute girl enjoys a good ball game more than Mrs. Berry does. No one could he more anxious for M. C. to win a good game than she. MISS ANNIE WATSON BARNARD Expression This is Miss Barnard’s fifth session at Hill- man College. Her popularity and efficiency as a teacher are plainly shown by the large classes she has always had. Miss Barnard has studied in Knoxville and in Chicago. Dean and Mrs. Henry Lawrence Southwick have been two of her teachers. Miss Barnard is one of the most popular chaperons with the young people, for she is not so far from her own school days and un- derstands the feelings of school girls. In Miss Barnard we find a true and sin- cere sympathizer. MISS AVERILLA BUCKLEY Matron “Auntie” is the best matron in the state. She has been with 11s four years and during this time has won for herself a place :n the heart of every one who has come in contact with her. Not only is she matron, but also the capable nurse of the hospital. There is nothing that Auntie will not do for us when we need her. She is kind and gentle and is always ready to aid someone. Page Eight MISS BIRDIE GURNEY Mathematics In Miss Gurney we find an energetic, sin- cere little woman. She is a friend and helper to all and we feel that in her we have a treas- ure not to be surpassed. She has a kind word and a cheery smile for every one. In her work as teacher of mathematics we find her very efficient. She believes in making her pupils learn math, but we are sure that none of us will ever learn as much as she knows. She inspires every one of us to do the ver best that is in 11s. MRS. T. M. LEWIS History and Physiology When Hillman was known as C. F. I. there graduated here in the ' 80 ' s a beautiful young woman, Theodosia Miller. Not long after- ward she met her ideal and together they spent a few short, but very happy, years, when he had to leave her forever to answer the call of the Heavenly Father. She has two devoted children, one of whom is also a gradu- ate of Hillman. For twelve years she has held a position in Hillman, and has given the girls much kind advice. She can take the down-hearted or homesick girl and with her arms about her and one of her tender smiles can “make the sun shine from behind the clouds ' MISS PEARL LEAVELL English and Domestic Science There are very few things about which Miss Leavell knows nothing. It seems as though she made a special study of everything. She can cook the most delicious dishes, make the most perfect button holes and teach Rhetoric perfectly. She can also patch and darn. If you don’t believe it, just ask some of the Do- mestic Art girls ! Although Miss Leavell lives near “Ole Miss. ’ she ' s not the least bit sorry that M. C. won the State Championship in football. This is Miss Leavell ' s first year in Hillman, but we hope to have her with us for a long time. Page Sine « MRS. B. G. LOWREY Botany and Asst. English Mrs. Lowrey is one whom we all love and admire ; she is a quiet, unassuming little wom- an, kind and gentle to all. Her smile and cheery “good morning” brighten the day for all who meet her. Her Christian influence is great and she is always ready to lend a help- ing hand. Mrs. Lowrey’s sympathy and intellectuality surpass that of most people and Dr. B. G. was truly fortunate when he secured this little woman for his help-meet. MISS MARGARET LEWIS Asst. Piano “Daughter” is a graduate of Hillman and is truly loyal to the “grand old institution.” Her rare attractiveness and charming personality add a great deal to the Hillman campus. On account of the large number of piano students in the college and because Miss Lewis is capable of teaching piano, she was made assistant, and well does she fill the posi- tion. Every movement which Miss Lewis makes displays modesty and grace which makes her doubly attractive. MISS GEORGINA PALMETER Piano We have portrayed in Miss Palmeter the true type of womanhood. Her gentle manner and speech inspire the girls to put forth their best efforts in their music. Her influence, however, does not stop with her pupils, but extends over a ll the school, both students and faculty. If all Canadians are like Miss Palm- eter what a grand country Canada must be ! But we are sure that there is no other like her. Hillman has been very fortunate to se- cure and to hold, as long as she has, such an excellent teacher and refined and cultured woman. Page Ten MISS EMMETTE MIZE Latin Little Miss Mize was a “Stute girl” herself once, and knows just what a task it is to think up something new to say in notes of thanks — so she can sympathize with us. This little lady knows all about Virgil, Horace, Cicero, and all the rest of those good- looking men and she can certainly explain things clearly enough to make us understand them also. “Mitt” Thomae dares not go to town with- out Miss Mize. If she did there would likely he “war in camp. These ladies always see the bright side of everything. MISS ERNESTINE THOMAE French and German Did any one ever see our German lady when she was not laughing? Her extreme good nature has won for her many and true friends. She is the athletic directress in Hillman, and her ability to play basketball and coach the girls proves her efficiency in the athletic de- partment. Miss Thomae has charge of the college Y. W. A., which organization is doing good work. Her ability to teach has been proven in many ways and it would he impossible for us to find one who could take her place in the college, and in the hearts of the girls. MRS. LOUELLA GIBSON JOINER Voice and Piano This is Mrs. Joiner’s first year at Hillm an but she has already won the love and respect of the whole student body, as well as the fac- ulty. She has the reputation of being a suc- cessful, enthusiastic, and capable teacher and her record here this session has certainly helped her already splendid record, for she has built up the voice class in a most remarkable degree. Hillman was fortunate indeed to secure this excellent teacher. % Page Eleven Page Twelve Page T hirteen Senior Class Officers Ethel Ethridge Lucille Kinnebrew.

ETHEL DELORES ETHRIDGE Bailey, Miss. Lesbian “ For never saw I mein or face In which more plainly I could trace Benignity and home-bred sense,” We can truthfully say that no one possesses more of “gentleness” and “home-bred sense” than does our loved president. Ethel is quiet and reserved, hut she also possesses the true qualities that go to make up a lady. The troubled and aching heart always finds comfort in her words and cheer in her kindly feel- ing. She is a fine friend and a per- sistent student and if she continues to work as she has in the three years we have known her, we pre- dict that she will he a great success. Page Fourteen NELLIE CLARK Clinton, Miss. Lesbian “ Pure and true aiTection will I know.” Eor five years Nellie has been in Hillman, but during this time she has made the best of her opportuni- ties, for she finishes in both liter- ary and piano. Not only has she made splendid progress in her studies, but from the very first day she entered as a Prep, until her last as a Senior, she has been busy making friends. It can truly he said of Nellie that everyone loves her because of her sweet disposition and charming manners, and recognizes her true worth and ability. Nothing is ex- pected of her in the future but suc- cess, for she is the kind that suc- ceeds. FRANKIE ANNETTE BOLLS Leland, Miss. Lesbian “ To meet , to know , to love ” The first thing we knew of Frankie she was in Hillman. She entered four years ago, just a Freshman, and worthy of all the pranks of that class. She is always optimistic, never blue, and since she has been here has never been heard to utter one word of discredit against anyone. But while “Pea- nuts” is a great lover of fun, she never shirks a duty and we can truthfully sav that she is one of the best all-round girls in school. Her popularity may he seen by her rec- ords. Page Fifteen YOLANDE LOUISE CLARK Clinton, Miss. Lesbian “Queen rose of the rosebud garden of girls.” Yolande has spent five happy years with us at Hillman. Happy to herself and to others, for she is a girl that enjoys living and while she lives she brings joy and happiness to others. With th ese qualities is it any wonder that she is one of the most loved members of the Class of ' 17? Yolande has completed in these five years both the literary and the music course. While she is studi- ous and fond of her books, her greatest love is for her music. We know of nothing better to wish for Yolande than that she may con- tinue to he happy and bring happi- ness to others, as she has done while with us. SARAH LUCILE CONERLY Tylertown, Miss. Lesbian “How high is she? As high as her heart. Lucile has been with us only two years, but during this time she has won many friends. She has not only won outside friends, but her schoolmates will always remember her for her sterling worth. She will be weil remembered by the impression she has made on the students and teachers of Hillman College. She has a “happy” dispo- sition as everyone knows and has conquered a “Lott” of hearts and we hope that her future will be a very prosperous one. Page Sixteen MABEL MARIE DOBBS Mathiston, Miss. Lesbian “ Happy the man who wins her smile ; happier he zvho wins her heart. Marie is a girl with determina- tion and grit in sufficient quantities to make a success of whatever she undertakes. She is sincere in whatever she does and can be de- pended on to do the right thing. A more loyal classmate cannot he found and her originality, wit and intellect have made for her an en- viable record. She has been with us only one year, but from the first has shown her ability as a leader. Her record is unexcelled, her am- bition unlimited, so we prophesy for her great success in her chosen profession, that of a teacher. MARIETTA GALLMAN Georgetown, Miss. Adelian “ Cheerfulness and content are great beau titi ers And are famous preservers of good looks. Possibly Hillman College did not realize that it was to shape the des- tiny of such a character. However Marietta ' s presence has given it the opportunity and it has made good. She has been with us less than two years, and yet, by her frankness and willingness to serve others she has gained the love of everyone. “Ret” is a jolly, free-hearted girl, as well as a hard worker, and she possesses those qualities which make up a true woman. As an athlete she is unsurpassed, being now president of the Athletic Coun- cil and both a tennis and basket- ball star. Page Seventeen LUCILLE KINNEBREW Carpenter, Miss. Adelian “ She was a woman of steady mind, Tender and deep in her excess of ‘Lore’.” Lucille has been with us only two years, but has in that time made good, having won the trust and admiration of all who know her. She is industrious and con- scientious as well as a great lover of fun. “Ciel” has a strong will-power and a keen and wholesome ambi- tion which have opened up her path to sucess in the past and will no doubt mold a brlbant future for her. She is especially interested in voice and since she has learned very readily the art of being able to “pat” time we know she will succeed if this becomes her chosen profession. EMMA LANDRUM Cli nton, Miss. Adelian “A woman of the gentle sex — a seeming paragon.” Emma is one of the town girls. While her course in Hillman has not been continuous, during the terms she has been with us she has proven her worth. We predict for her a brilliant success as a teacher if she undertakes this career. But intentions are not always fulfilled and we will not be surprised to hear some day of a gallant young swain claiming her heart and hand. She is a modest, unassuming girl, winning her way in a quiet, gentle manner. Page Eighteen AGNES MAY McCOMB Clinton, Miss. Lesbian “ The seasons all but the ivinter’s eliill Are found in the red-haired girl.” Agnes is the baby of the class, red-beaded and good looking. She entered the primary department in Hillman and slowly but surely worked her way to the “top round of the ladder” and this year leaves Hillman with a splendid record be- hind her. Agnes is one of the town girls and is popular among both boys and girls. She is always happy and sees the bright side of everything. It did not take us long to learn that Agnes once visited Eureka Springs, Ark., and she is very fond of it, although she says that there is no place like Clinton. LULU FRANCES MILLER Memphis, Tenn. Adelian “ Heart on lips and soul within her eyes A Lulu entered Hillman before the majority of us, thus giving us the privilege of a long acquaintance with her. She is one of the most sincere, earnest and dependable girls in school. Her unusual power of understanding, unselfish heart and willing hands have lightened many dreary days for others. “Feathers” is one of the wittiest girls in school and at all times she is the very essence of sunshine and happiness. She has taken an active part in every phase of college life and we rank her not only among the first in her class, but in the en- tire universe. Page Nineteen ESCOE PARNELL L’nion, Miss. Lesbian “ Her best is all that she can give, And her best is unexcelled A Wouldn’t this be a great world if we had more like her? Escoe has been with us only one year but has in that time shown her appreciation for the opportunities given here and has made good in everything she has undertaken. Escoe is a fine student and allows nothing to detract from her work. However, she always finds time to listen to, and sympathize with, a schoolmate. By her cheery smile, comforting words and happy dispo- sition, she has won the friendship of every girl in the institution. We point her out as an example of true nobilitv. THELMA PIGFORD Russell, Miss. Adelian “Oh! she was good As she was fair A Thelma, in coming to us in the prep year, made a valuable addition to the class. She is one of that un- tiring kind who is needed to push things on to the goal of success. She is one of the most loyal girls in the class and her work both for her class and society has been ex- ceptional. “Babe” is an eloquent conversa- tionalist and a very attractive girl. Such a person is bound to gain popularity and her friends are not confined to Hillman alone. We wish for her nothing more than the success which she will make of whatever she undertakes. Page Twenty I t I VIOLA ELIZABETH PORTER Lena, Miss. Adelian “ Shalt shoiv us hour divine a thing a woman may he made.” Viola lias obtained two years of her growth and development in Hillman. From the very beginning she has been noted for perseverance and application. She is never idle, for if she is not seeking knowledge in the classroom or in a textbook, she is busy with a needle or a tat- ting shuttle. There is no girl in the class who surpasses Viola in unselfishness and a willingness to serve. She has been a very helpful factor in the Y. W. A., and all other lines of Christian endeavor. Although Viola’s future is unre- vealed, we feel sure her unselfish- ness qualifies her for eminent serv- KATHRYN RUTH RAMEY Waynesboro, Miss. Adelian “None but herself can he her parallel ” “Bobby’’ possesses those faculties which blend into a charming per- sonality. She is a favorite in the entire court because of her affec- tionate disposition, her humor and her congeniality. Hillman is justly proud of Bobby because of her ini- tiative and ability. She is original and versatile, and rules herself and others in such a tactful way that there seems to be no ruling. She has real college spirit that makes college days worth while, both for herself and others. She is fore- most on the athletic field. Her past record casts a brilliant prophecy for a future one. I do not mean to say that she is indolent, for decidedly she is not. But Bobby certainly finds real pleasure in her “Nap.” Page Twenty-one i MARY LOUISE SANDERS Kosciusko, Miss. Lesbian “A safe companion and an easy friend The picture you see is only half of Louise. How shall we describe her? Her only fault during her en- tire school career at H. C., has been that she has not fallen in love. In grades she leads the class and her specialty is making hundreds, but we hope that when she has left the halls of Hillman, and is leaving the halls of “Ole Miss.,” she shall see the error of her youth and adopt the wiser plan of studying less and — fall in love. I MARION SNYDER Clinton, Miss. Adelian “With softest manners And gentlest arts adorned.” Marion is one of our town Sen- iors and has been a student of Hill- man from her earliest school girl days. She is quite a favorite among the girls and her popularity at M. C. is shown by her victory in the popular girl contest. With diplomas from both literary and expression departments, coupled with her charming personality and her capability of work, we predict a most happy future for Marion in whatever course she pursues. Page Twenty -two GRACE WHITE Brandon, Miss. MARY LEE WARD Raymond, Miss. Lesbian “A sweet, attractive kind of grace. Mary Lee came to Hillman three years ago, a tiny, bright-eyed, smil- ing lassie with chestnut curls. With her girlishness, affection and sim- plicity, she has won a strong hold in the hearts of her classmates and teachers. She is a very excellent student and applies herself well. She thinks for herself, and although not ob- stinate, she is true to her convic- tions. She is a sincere and faithful friend and companion ; is pleasant and considerate of everyone at all times. Mary Lee has a variety of tal- ents and it is difficult to forecast her future, but lur past achieve- ments as a writer of stories, proves that she has that held open to her provided all of her talent, together with her heart, is not generously given to the hero of her dreams. Adelian “ She moves a Goddess and she looks a Queen.” Grace in the two years she has been with us has proven her sterling worth and ability to do things. She has a high sense of honor and has truly been an in- spiration to her fellow students. Grace ' s beauty, along with her talents and charming personality, has drawn to her feet scores of ad- mirers among the young men of Mississippi College and elsewhere. We predict for her great success in her chosen profession, that of a music teacher, but we fear that her path will divide and she will yield to the pleading of some gallant knight and become queen of a home. Page Twenty -three Senior Prophecy The Prophetess, feeling that there was much yet to be learned in a chemical laboratory and hoping that she might by experiment make a discovery, which would aid the science and make her famous as well, stole over to the laboratory one afternoon. First she carelessly prepared some flourine gas and allowed it to fill the whole room, and in a way that seemed quite natural to her then, the laboratory was transformed and instead of the flourine gas that had permeated the atmosphere there was a hazy mist known as “future.” Then inscribed on a bottle of CHCl n were the words “To be Inhaled.” She did this and found herself entering a handsome and well-kept home. In it were Ethel and two small children. And the joy that was expressed as the hus- band and father entered, caused the invisible guest to say “happiness reigns here.” Immediately she was again before the shelf that held the bottles and the words were again visible on a bottle of CH s OH. And obeying, she began eagerly pressing her way up the Hall of Fame for the sole purpose of following Ruth Ramey through her professional career, who had become known throughout America and Europe as the great “Dr. Ramev of New York.” While in New York she saw a number of posters in the most prominent part of the city which read, “Misses Yolande and Nellie Clark, the celebrated Southern Pianists, fresh from their triumphs in Europe, at Carnegie Hall, Tues- day night at 8 :30. Seats $2.50 to $5.00. Then the prophetess enshrouded by the mists of the future beheld Viola as a Chinese missionary. She saw fifty years of noble work with wonderful, even miraculous accomplishments, and the end had not come. Then she saw inscribed on a piece of zinc the words “open the door,” and having opened it, she found herself in an elegantly furnished home of which Lucille was queen. Contentment was radiating from every point of the scene. She was reading from the latest journal an article which said, “Mary Lee Ward, the world’s youngest and most popular story writer, is giving to the world a new form of writing. Hers is a work of art and genius.” Two bottles having taken the form of a telescope, she raised it to her eyes and saw the small, blithe figure of Lulu in the vesture of a Red Cross nurse, ably assisting the head physician who had found her indispensable in his work and bad made her his life’s partner. Page Twenty-four Feeling thirsty she drank a glass of H 2 0 and saw Agnes May on the stage with the world as her audience, and with worshipful admiration the charmed spectators exclaimed, “the second Madame Sarah Bernhardt. ' When she had touched a bottle of Fig she was holding an Educational Review of Amerca. and three items of importance were noted. F ' irst, “ assar College is to be congratulated on having secured Miss Marietta Gallman as Athletic Di- rector.” Under the head of “Smith College Makes Rapid Progress” is the an- nouncement that Miss Escoe Parnell has accepted a chair of History in that insti- tution. Then in the notes from Bryn Mawr was the statement that Louise San- ders had succeeded in the department of Latin, and had been made Dean of that department. Then the would-be chemist placed an oxy-hydrogen flame against a stick of lime and made a very brilliant lime light, and there in the center was 1 helma, surrounded by an increasing throng of ardent admirers. Then in a few years came the chime of wedding bells. As the result of mixing the contents of two bottles she saw Frankie in a mountain school, to which she had devoted years of effort, and the school had become known as “Miss Bolls’ Model Mountain School.” The contents of a bottle of (C 2 PI 5 ) 2 0 revealed Marion as the wife of a tourist, who was collect ' ng data for a book on Natural Science. Just before sailing for Europe they visted Lucille Conerly in Washington, who had become a real home builder and was ably assisting her husband in realizing his ambition of becoming a great statesman. Then as soon as they reached Berlin they visited Emma, now the wife of the American Ambassador. The rhythmic tones of a hydrogen flame became audible and as she listened she heard the mellow tones of a violin and saw the lovely form of Grace as she was playing her way into the hearts of men. And lastly there was an inrush of fresh air. The mists had disappeared. The prophetess realized that she had learned much in the chemical laboratory, but that she had added nothing to the science and had thereby failed to become famous. Page Twenty- five Senior Class Poem Did you ever sit at evening In the moonlight’s mellow ray, Thinking how the time is hastening Toward the parting of the way? Did you not wonder. Classmates, What the future held in store ; Whether you would heed the knock- ing Of rare chance upon the door? Oh ! the dreaming time has passed us. And the signs all seem to say That we shortly must determine On the part in life we’ll play. Listen now to one who counsels, Saying, choose the narrow pathway And while toiling on and upward, Shed new lustre where you may. Rise up ! make the world some better ; Hold a light for those we lead, Let 11s help in all the littles, Wait not for the larger deed. So when life with each has ended And a crown at last we’ve won ; May each one among the Seniors Hear the Master say, ‘‘Well done.” Poet. Senior History t For the last three years the world has stood on tip-toe eager to catch the faintest echo from the gigantic contest across the waters that has turned the world upside down and wrought havoc with the natural order of things. But all the while in the quiet city of Clinton, the historic halls of Hillman have been witnessing an equally potential struggle. From Dan to Beersheba and from Tennessee to Sullivan’s Hollow, the cream of the womanhood of the South has been gathered to compose the illustrious Class of T 7 . The opening guns of the campaign were fired in Preparatory days, when only three of the present number were here. The army has had fresh recruits yearly until now it can claim the distinction of being one of the largest ever to graduate from these historic walls. Many laurels have been won as an outcome of the struggle. This class claims the championship basketball team and three of the four tennis stars come from the Senior Class. We see the vanguard of the Hillman army in white. Perhaps this uniform is to signify the flag of truce. If in the European struggle some nation would send out a similar flag, they would awake to do the noble deeds and accomplish- ments that our Senior Class hopes to do by offering the flag of truce to the strife of school days.

And there’s never a lass in the Junior Class Who much of a smasher has been. Sure we can’t help being pretty, Sure we can’t help being cute, And sure we can’t help having sense, We’re the wisest bunch in the ’Stute.

And there’s never a lass in the Junior Class Who from Seniordom will flee. History of Junior Class As we emerge into the royal realm of Seniordom we are given a blank page on which to keep our record, but the Class of ’18 is justly proud of the page already so meritoriously filled. The increase of the roll of the class each year has added strength and qual- ity to it. We have some of the foremost a thletic enthusiasts in the college. The talent, tact, and originality has already gained renown. We await the future with a past that is unsurpassed. Historian. Page Thirty I Before and After with After Omitted Mrs. Lewis announced at chapel that she wanted to meet the Junior class between the bells, at noon. They all came radiantly happy, hugging, nudging, giggling, pushing, whispering. On that night the Juniors were to attend their first reception at Mississippi College, and all had been checked. Mrs. Lewis was earnest, firm and motherly. “Girls,” she began, “you are going to the reception tonight and I want to remind you of a few things before you go ' Ruth McIntyre interrupted, “Mrs. Lewis, I am going with Ben; I’ve had a date for three weeks.” “That’s nice,” Mrs. Lewis continued, ‘‘girls, you must conduct yourselves in the most modest and lady-like manner, for you will be observed verv closely.” “Oh, I’m so glad, for I am going to wear my georgette crepe, and it is gorgeous!” exclaimed Virgie. “Girls, I want you to look as nice and sweet as possible, but don’t borrow any one else’s clothes ; yours are nice enough.” Ruth Provine punched Modenia, “I’ve already gotten Pauline’s white taff- eta.” “I borrowed Clarice’s silk stockings,” giggled Leila, “and I am going to wear them !” “I remember—” began Mrs. Lewis. “Mrs. Lewis, how am I going to know Mr. when he gets here. I’ve never seen him ?” Tera asked. “We ' ll see to that. Once we had a girl here who — ” “Dorothy, what will I do if my slippers do not come?” pleaded Lueile. Girls, you may talk when I finish, said Mrs. Lewis, “this girl was very attractive — ” Maggie: “Mrs. Lewis, how can we know when to leave?” “When you have talked to everyone there,” laughed Mabel. Mrs. Lewis ignored the remarks and continued, “she was always in the right place at the right time.” Esther leaned closer to Clara, asking, “What time are we going?” “Eight, I think.” Tomie, unconscious that anyone was speaking, “Mrs. Lewis, Marie Dobbs said there was one plate for every couple ; does the boy or girl hold the plate ?’’ Everyone laughed and Mrs. Lewis began a new topic, “When you leave, be sure you come straight home, and — ” Essie immediately asked : “Mrs. Lewis, you do not mind our going car riding a little while afterwards, if one of the teachers will go with us, do you?” Mrs. Lewis said not a word, onl y looked at her — and the bell rang.

With these feelings paramount in our hearts, we began our Sophomore year. Last year we were little, ignorant “Freshies,” hanging around the halls and doing the “stunts” that belong to Freshmen. But now as that is a thing of the past, we wish to forget it. Since we are Sophomores we glory in our wisdom, and realizing our dignity, we feel it to he our duty to set a true example of great- ness for the coming generation of Freshmen to follow. To be a Sophomore is a great thing ; in fact some members of the class are so glad to be called “Sophs” they will probably encore the Sophomore year. There are many other attractions about being a “Soph,” but now it is the time when “actions speak louder than words.” So let us remember what Hillman has stood for in the past and that it is our duty to cherish those ideals. So when the session is ended each of us shall have received the blessing, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant ; enter thou into the joy of the third year, a Junior.” Historian. a 1 Soph.

Page Forty-two Page Forty-three In the Rose Garden X T WAS very beautiful, this old fashion rose garden; the kind that one reads about but seldom sees. It was large and had roses of all kinds, red, white, yellow and pink ones. Phil loved to climb upon the high stone wall and look over at the roses, and he often wondered who owned the garden and paid old Perry to keep it. True it was not kept in the best condition , but that was not because Perry did not stay in it enough. Phil would sit on the wall and longingly wish that he might jump down on the other side and wander about among the roses or in the pretty little summer house at the terminus of the central walk. One time Phil was just ready to jump when he heard Perry calling to him, in warning tones, not to come, and since Phil was more afraid of the gardener than anything on earth, he did not again venture the attempt. Phil was a queer child. He lived in a pretty little white cottage next to the beautiful estate “Roseden.” He and his mother lived alone and he, having no playmates, loved best of all else to climb upon the stone wall and build air castles concerning the future. He often dreamed of a little boy who would some day come through the roses and climb upon the wall and play with him. Phil had planned about this little boy always, it seemed, but the great house remained still and now Phil was ten years old. A few days later as he sat on the wall dreaming, he was suddenly startled by hearing a small, sweet voice ask, “What y ’doin’?” Phil looked down and saw a pretty little girl looking up at him. He might have imagined, for a minute, that this fair little creature was simply one of the beautiful pink roses speaking to him. “I thought you was a boy,” Phil said slowly. The tot looked at him in amazement. “Huh,” scornfully, was all she could say. The boy sat silent, embarrassed, and swinging his feet back and forth, striking them against the wall. A thousand things he had planned to say to the boy, but not one sol’tary thing could he think of to say to this little vision in pink. Finally, however, he said: “I am just siftin ' here.” The little girl did not reply, but stood twisting her hands in the tiny pockets of her pink apron and looking down at the ground. Phil sat wondering if she would ask him to come into the garden, but as she did not, at last he said politely, “Won ' t you come up here and play?” “Can’t,” she said, “I’m not ’er boy.” “Yes, but I could take hold of your hand and you could put your toes in the cracks in the wall and climb up.” After thinking about it a while, the little girl assented and cautiously began to ascend the wail. When she was safely seated on the wide top, they talked and became good friends. The little girl’s name was P� cth, and she had come to live in the big house. After this, she came often, indeed almost every day. Very soon Beth told Phil that her father had said that he must not come into the garden and that she must not play with him. The first command, Phil obeyed without questioning, but regardless of the other, the two were con- stantly together. Beth told him one day that her mother said that some day the estate would be hers, “and then,” she said, “I ' ll invite you to come into the gar- den — to stay.” One day Beth did not come, nor the next, nor any more. Phil inquired of Page Forty-four Perry concerning her absence and learned that she had been sent away to school. A few days later Beth s father and mother went away and again the great house was left vacant. A year or more passed and Phil heard no more of the girl. Then an uncle of his died, leaving a fortune to him and his mother, so they moved far away and he, too, was sent to school. Years passed and Phil was a man and his education was finished. One day while glancing over a daily paper, an advertisement caught his attention, which read: “The beautiful estate ‘Roseden’ for sale.’’ The idea came to him: why not buy the place? He had thought of his little playmate and wished that he might see her again. He decided to go at once and investigate the matter. He went first to see his old home and now had gone down to climb over the wall into the garden. Phil climbed up and sat on the wall, thinking of Beth and the good times they had had together. Hearing a step in the garden, he looked down jus t as he had done years ago and saw, just as he had seen before, a girl dressed in pink. It was Beth. If she had been pretty as a child, she was beauti- ful now, and if possible renrnded Phil more of one of the pink roses. Beth looked up and saw him. “You !” she exclaimed. “Yes,” he said, with a smile, add- ing: “1 had not thought that I would have this pleasure.” The girl flushed. “I wanted to see the garden once more before it went into the hands of strangers,” she said, and her sweet voice trembled. ‘‘You perhaps know that it has been sold.” “Yes,” he replied, and then explained to her that it was he who had bought it. The girl stood silent with Hushed cheeks, her head bowed. For a moment he, too, was silent, but reading a note of encouragement in her demeanor, he leaped ligh tly down and said quietly, with a smile, “May I come into the garden now, Beth— to stay?” M. L.

I. C, and truly there is no better coach than ours. She not only knows how to direct athletics but is a star player herself at any game. We love and respect her in the classroom but on the athletic field our love and respect turns more to adoration and admiration. Her ability to manage and work with her teams is unsurpassed and what Hillman athletics have amounted to, is due to her. Page Sixty-eight ATHLETIC COUNCIL Miss Thomae Director Marietta Gallman President Alice Gray Wade Vice-President “Bobby” Ramey - Secretary-T reasurer Athletic Association Although the Athletic Association is in its infancy, having been organized this year, it has done much toward upbuilding this phase of college life. It has a large membership, a fine spirit, good co-operation and hard workers, thus it has given a system and order to Hillman Athletics that did not exist before. Nothing has been too large an undertaking for the “League,” the athletic field has been enlarged and its equipment improved. The basketball season was a great success and the spirit at every game was fine. There were no intercollegiate games but the games between the different teams created much interest and enthusiasm, especially the games between the Grasshoppers and Crickets and the different classes. The Seniors won the cham- pionship after a hard fight. Tennis is the most important and more enthusiasm and real “pep” is mani- fested in it than any of the other athletic sports. The big Spring Tournament has not as yet been played and many are fighting for championship, but now there are four of almost equal ability. Volley ball is a minor sport, but is played to a large extent by those who do not take part in other sports. After this glorious year of improvement and work in Hillman athletics, no one can doubt but that the Athletic Association has been a success, and our hope is that it may make Hillman athletics bigger and better as the years go by.
