1915 mine spinsrer 21 Tlfistory of tba Senior Class AM the Class Historian. When my fellow-classmates were dealing out offices last June, they must not have liked my hair-ribbon, for they gave me that most indescribable and bromidic of' positions, i. e., keeper of the records of the very unique and individual Class of l9l5. Dena came raving into my room last week, saying: All written work for TI-IE SPINSTER simply must be in by the twentieth. Please write an original Class History, and get it in right away. . With these very encouraging words, she 'left me. , V I picked up a pencil from the desk, grabbed a pad from the table, and made my way to the Senior parlor, seeking an inspiration. As I went down the steps, I mur- mured helplessly, Original! 'Good gracious, what is original? Then there began to pass through my mind vague ideas of climbing hills and at last reaching the long- sought-for city of A. B. I put these ideas aside quickly as being anything but original, and banged the door of the Senior parlor behind me as I entered. Well now, what is the matter with you? asked Ed in her modified Yankee drawl, as she and Dot unfolded themselves on a dark sofa. Oh, it's this awful' Class History. I can't ever remember what happened so far back as Freshman and Sophomore. And as for Original!-I'm just going to sit here until you all tell me something to write. I Why, let's see, Ed, can't we think of what happened in our Freshman year? said Dot, politely, though I knew she and Ed wanted to push me out the' window. Oh, yes. I remember the very day we were organized. Rose Heilmancame in and helped us. What funny little scared things we were! if And we elected Duntze president, and Bee Ford vice-president, and--let's see, who was secretary and treasurer? said Ed. Susan Lipscomb, I answered, almost forgetting my despair. Q ' f - , Y , , - M A bats.. i I ' - I .f- .,.. ..-AL-Y ,,,-V 7, ....,,.. . ..

You have guided us always forward, and smoothed the path for our feet. Oh, would we could carry you with us, in the world, our problems to meet! You have taught us how empty is pleasure, how fleeting is vaunted fame, Unless we take, in their seeking, ideals unsullied with shame. It is from our Alma Mater, we'll take when the paths divide. ls there nothing we leave behind us, which through the years may abide- When the stories of Nineteen-Fifteen have become but a memory faint. When our hopes and fears in others live, and our pictures others paint? Only this, we have builded as truly, as firmly as we have knowng We have builded that others behind us, in part, might the way be shown, Our stones we have hewed out of kindnessg our mortar the love we owe- We have given our best in return for the best, though little it is, we know. Then let us farewell together say, O members of Class One-Five, To our Alma Mater, our College dear-long may she live and thrive! And the peace which passeth knowledge, and love through lasting day, - Bind our hearts forever together and forever to Hollins, we pray.

We simply crowded that old Math. room to overflowing. And werenit you excited to death when we asked Miss Williamson to be Sponsor? continued Ed. Then there was the Easter-Egg Hunt in the Kellar, and the Picnic, the Juniors' Games, and in Oh, Dotg wait -a minute, let me catch up. I suddenly remembered that I had neglected so far to preserve any of this jeweled information on paper. Just then the door opened, and in walked Judith, with a black laboratory manual in one hand, and Chemistry books in the other. Got any eats in here? I've just come from the Science Hall, where they are making cake, and the odor of 'em is ringing in my ears yet. ' There were ,a few crackers left from the Founder's Day reception, I said: but I think the mice have obliterated them by now. I see Annie and Mary. coming across the campus, with all kinds of bags and bottles. I bet they have been to the store. l..et's call them. Soon we were each possessed of a jumbo or pickle from the bags of our generous friends. Oh, girls, you should have seen the vampire down on the road, said Annie, as she deposited cans of bacon and beans, and a loaf of bread on the table. Tell us about the 'vamp', urged Judith, and picking up the once-was-a-carving- knife, she began to slice the bread, I haven't heard any excitement since the Faculty Surprise Recital. Oh no, I'll save that for the Senior Banquet. Mary, turn on the toaster. We'll have a royal feast before long. You all aren't giving me any History, I said, desperate at being discarded for a cracker and a little bit of cheese. This almost had some effect. Two or three spurts of enthusiasm had brought to light a few forgotten facts about our Sophomore year, when someone said, -, -. iii-,-M ,,.f-A- SQQEJQ- -'Q 'fr-' ' N'-s'5R 55.
