If, in the years to come, this little volume can aid you to ever keep striv- ing towards your highest goal by its record of the past fun, friendships, and high ideals which you knew so intimately here, then this book will be memory’s dearest possession and we, the staff, shall have attained our end. DEDICATION To MRS. MARK PERRIN LOWREY BERRY As an expression of our appreciation and love for her who has given to us her best gift — her living, loving personality; her charming, wholesome individuality; whose presence creates order and cheerfulness; whose genial, unfailing smile is ready for all alike; to her, who has made our school life brighter and happier for having been a part of it — we, the Class of 1922, dedicate this eighth volume of The Pioneer.

I’ll see the faces loved of old, depicted line by line, And greet again in memory those teachers of mine. The picture then will brighten and clear before my gaze. And joyous voices ring again the songs of yesterdays. The old-time lessons, the dreams, the plans, the fears. And all the thronging interests of our college years. And so amid the toils and cares of future life. When clouds are dark and paths are dim, and heavy is the strife, The thoughts of those I knew and loved, the friends of former years. Shall like sweet songs bid me rejoice and charm away my fears. Seniors. six Page seven 9 THE PIONEER I Listening Silence All day I steal about on tip-toe, fears Close flocking around my heart, lest silence hear And turn toward me his great attentive ears. And what does he hear that he should listen so. My lonely house thus haunting, stealthy of step, And peering lynx-eyed where shadows grow? So oft I glimpse him listening in the gloom, That breathless, I in terror listen too For wee, soft sounds to crash a knel l of doom. Free If you should find me gone today. Would years with me betray m.y way? You’d go, 1 think, across the waste. Wild-eyed, and stumbling in your haste. By way of paths we ' ve worn; then down The long road to the tired town, Loud shouting the foolish name I bear, Which mocks at you from the echoing air. Glad moments I should watch you go From hills that ring my laugh s echo. Then turn to leap rocks mossy grown And match with the streamlet’s joy my own. Ruby Susan Sawyer.

I wove a shadow for a shroud: The sun fell across my loom. To thread with gold my gloom. I thought to find a silent place: A brooklet laughed at me, A bird sang, and a tree. I sought for death, but could not die: The woods were all too fair — I’d found that life was there. My Love My lo e is a giant — A gcd— V ' ho crushes me to him Until my soul is vibrant wiih hU soul. And my bruised heart drips red agony; Then he hurls me ai his feet — Unnerved, and trembling. And afraid to speak. Verse A If I knew where this shy path would lead. Saw along its way each flower and weed, Sluggard slone, and rain-washed, smiling tree. Heard each brook-song haunted, bird note free. Felt the tug of thorn, the damp of fen. And the lure of hills where I’ve ne’er been; Eagerly seeking for a new. If I knew each little thing That my life to me will bring, I would welcome death’s sure sling.

Secretary-Treasurer SOPHOMORE WRITE-UP The age of the sophomore is the goal of the freshman’s ambition, a junior’s relinquished joy, and a senior’s happy memory. It is the age of new hopes, ambitions and aspirations; the turning point of the college career. Our class is small in numbers but not so in achievement. In every college activity the Class of ’24 is well represented. On the varsity basketball, baseball and tennis, and in college quartette the names of sophomores rank among the best. Any class is judged by the ‘‘pep’’ it manifests. A college class without enthusiasm is very similar to a broken-down race-horse. The Class of ’24 possesses the “git-up and git” that is sure to bring results. Here’s to the Sophs!

Entering with a tread that was calculated to attract attention, he approached the subject of his gaze and sank into the vacant chair beside her; here followed a brief moment of silence, after which the passing of ushers temporarily called him from the land of research to the fact that he must talk before others came to claim her attentions. Turning toward her he beheld a sight that made his manly heart flutter. It was the face of the sweet young thing peeling with limpid eyes into his own. She knew of him. She had seen his picture. No wonder his spirit had already taken its flight from this earthly vale of tears, and was cavorting about in the ethereal spaces. Oh, how terrible to have another claim her, just as Johnny was in his “seventh heaven.” But that jealous pang need not last long. With the tapping of the bell. Freshman Johnny must hurry to be the last to bid her “goodnight,” quickly planning to see more of her at the next reception. 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 5 . 6 . 7 . 8 . 9 . Rules for Social Conduct ( Which Are Considered Shocking the Lad p Principal) When calling on ladies go in an automobile. In speaking, if she does not offer her hand, take it. Remove all crushable articles from coat pockets. If there is but one chair, the gentleman must take his seat first. Avoid loud kissing, and smash all street lights in the vicinity. Never arise to go and then sit down again — stay down. Be brave — faint hearts never get a good hug. Talk on subjects interesting to the young lady (there is but one). When leaving do not part abrupty, but with a short ceremony. Page thirty P “ Se Krts-fa ADELIANS THE PIONEER Adelians Hold Opening On Friday evening, September 16, 1921, at five o’clock, the old Adelians, together with the new members, assembled in the parlor of Hillman College to hold their first busi- ness meeting. The meeting was called to order and the aims and purposes of the society set forth by the president. The by-laws were read, also the minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. As some of the officers for the present term did not return, it was necessary to go into the election of officers to fill the vacancies. Following are the officers for the present term: Fannye Melle Robinson President Lola Turner Vice-President Ada Manning Secretary-Treasurer Mary Louise Beasley Critic Ruth Calhoun Chaplain Wanda Lundy Marshal After the election of officers, the scripture lesson taken from the twelfth chapter of Romans, was read, after which all engaged in a word of prayer. The meeting was then turned over to the social committee, and a very pleasing program was rendered. Then, after much laughter and fun making, cakes and delicious punch were served. We have a fine crowd of girls this session and are expecting to do great things in our respective societies. Page thirly - si THE PIONEER Lesbians Entertain On Friday afternoon the Lesbian Literary Society entertained in honor of its new members. Promptly at five o’clock the new girls were summoned to the campus, where they were met and welcomed by the society officers and the entertainment committee. Hardly had the crowd gathered under the trees, where seats had been arranged for the occasion, and where all was in readiness for the “initiation” of the “new ones,” when an unexpected shower broke up the assembly. Not to be outdone, however, those in charge led the way to the study hall where the program was continued, although it could not be carried out as previously planned. After adding the names of thirty of the best- looking “new girls,” the stute has ever had (generally conceded) to the Lesbian roll, Katherine Varnano, president of the society, in a few “peppy” words, gave them the “Glad you’re here.” The entertainment committee, headed by Esther McGhee, assisted by Mary Olive Steele and Eva Clare Wilson, then took charge and a short program was rendered. Miss Erin Higginbotham, head of the Expression Department, gave a Dutch reading which was much appreciated and enjoyed, as was shown by the hearty applause given her. Miss Mary B. Riley entertained in a charming manner with some of the latest song selections with guitar accompaniment. Another feature of the program which was greatly en- joyed was a negro song rendered by the Misses Riley and Miss Higginbotham. Mrs. Miller sang, “When Song is Sweet,” by Sans Sauci, and her voice was never more beautiful. After the program dainty refreshments were served. The work of the refreshment committee composed of Mattie Belle Summers, Maudie Dale, and Gladys Hartzog, de- serves especial mention. We were glad to have Miss Ele Steele, popular stute teacher and an old Lesbian, with us at our opening meeting. a % e ihirty-seven THE ALIENS WEEK-ENDERS VANITY FAIR Page thirty-eight P THE PIONEER THE PIONEER Page forty I THE PIONEER Athletic T.

Basketball was the primary feature and wc wish we might dedicate a page to each player. The star players were Misses Camp, Biggs, Robertson, Manning, Calhoun, and Mc- Cullough, all underclassmen except the first mentioned, who is a senior. Other players worthy of mention are Misses Wilson, Massey, LeMaster, McNair, Calhoun, Ratliff. We would not leave out our special thanks to Coach “Salty,” whose unceasing efforts and constant good cheer inspired us onward, and to Miss Mary Belle Riley, director, whose patience and encouragement have meant more than we at the time realized. With such a successful beginning, the victory of eleven games out of twelve, we feel that the athletic future of Hillman cannot but be interesting. Here’s to their success! Clinton High . . .
