But like Janus, the old god of new beginnings, she looks to the future as well ; and her eyes are uplifted with a great hope. Throughout this book we shall try to picture both what was and what is on Blue-Stone Hill.

We rejoice that Thou art also our Father, who dost love us, and we pray that in the person of the Holy Spirit Thou wilt be our constant guide, and in the person of Thy Son our constant Teacher. May Thy gracious providence compass with mercy all our lives and destinies, and may Thy ministering spirits, which are sent forth to minister to the heirs of salvation, bring to us wisdom for every decision, courage in every struggle, and hope for every day. We come to Thee, Our Father, with a special plea. This hour for all of us gathered here is an hour of special moment, and we voice a special prayer. This hour has hovered in our visions, and lias been longed for with fear and trembling, yet with a stirring fulness of hope and joy. It is an hour full of meaning to us all, and to the men and women who shall stand here and work here in the years to come. This hour is at once a goal and a beginning: a goal of toilsome progress and the beginning of a glorious work. We give Thee thanks for Thy mercies and blessings, and pray that Thy favor may continue to smile upon us, and that Thou wilt crown our labors with full success. Bless all who have labored for this school hitherto, and all who shall labor for it henceforth in any capacity. Bless the school ; may it become a sacred place - — a shrine, as it were, devoted to liberty and to truth. Standing upon this hilltop, under the rising sun, may it grow as a mighty oak or a cedar of ancient Lebanon, and in its shelter may health and gladness abound. Like the hills and mountains round about it. may it be strong and steadfast ; like the skies that smile above it, may it be boundless in its compass and ever full of light; like the hills and plains that surround it. may it be both fruitful and beautiful ; like all the works of right- eousness, may it be fostered and blessed of God. Give these, Thy servants who teach, knowledge and wisdom and power; give the Trustees of the Commonwealth, who shall direct us. foresight and wise discretion ; may all labor unto Thy glory and the good of mankind. And now, O Ford, as we end our petitions, we voice one more special prayer. Bless these young women in their lives and in their work. They hold in their hands the cure of many ills, the key to many joys; and they, ion, are standing at this hour in the dawn of a great future. The skies are bright above them, and hope calls them forward. Give them grace and strength and wisdom, ( 1 ,ord, and guide them into usefulness and all those forms of special service for which Thou hast so richly endowed them. Give them hearts of love and sympathy and sin- cerity, and through them bless the land- the State, the Nation, the World, for Jesus Christ ' s sake, Amen. draper, September 25, 1919 LMIGHTY GOD, author of light and life, we exalt Thy name and invoke Thy blessings. ur hearts would praise Thee for all Thy gracious gifts. Y thank Thee for life and hope; for youth and aspiration; for truth to leam and for work to do. We thank Thee for this place Hi ' learning — for this school and all that it means in us who have been here in former years; for all that it will mean to those who arc now here fur the first time. We thank Thee fur tin- stable government of our state and fur the vision of our fathers, who have fostered and protected school and church and home. We thank Thee for these encircling mountains, which speak of time and everlasting strength. We thank Thee for the glory of the dawn and the radiant beauty of the sunset, as we view them from these hills. We thank Thee for the joy and courage that friendship and g ! fellowship give US here from session to session and from year to year. And now as we look out this morning, we see new tasks and new friends before us. We see, as it were, a new world thai calls us. We see the nations in unrest, waiting, in ignorance it may he. for the peace and justice of ( iod. Help us, a- we work here, to serve the people and to honor Thee. Help us to he good citizens of our state, of our nation, and of the world, that our life and work here may he a beginning, a fair beginning, of our life and our citizenship in heaven with Thee. In the name of our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen. alumnae gteaociatton frratfont Srba Irarit ltrp-f rratornt Agnra iinglrimr UJnrrraiimtbtng § rrrftant . . iHartj H. $mtmt SferorMng § rrn tant . . .

Carrie Bishop reasui ei Robert Duke Mascot ANNA RACHEL ALLEN Home Economics Club; Y. W. C. A.; Lee Literary Society. Anna, better known to some of us as Sal. does the most exquisite embroidery you ever saw. and has recently added to her many other talents the mastery of the high and mysterious art of tatting. She is one of the most efficient persons we know, and her Sun- day-night suppers have become famous. Her one dissipation is going to the movies when her favorite star is playing. To indulge in this, she will even lay aside some of the beautiful handkerchiefs she is hurrying to finish for Mrs. McMicbael.

If you hear somebody emitting groans over an English paper or a history outline and exclaiming between these groans, Oh, 1 just can ' t do it! that ' s Carrie I ' ' . But the strange part about it (really it isn ' t strange when you know Carrie) is that she always gets these same difficult tasks done before other people and better than the majority of us could do. Yes, she ' s a good student, but she is more than that. She ' s a member any organization is proud of, a star basket ball player, and a staunch and loyal friend. What are her hobbies? We don ' t know, unless they are the Locker System and Dr. Wayland. We don ' t blame anybody who writes as well as she does for being critical of handwriting; and as for Dr. Wayland — why, we admire her good judgment!

Teacher of English, keeper of books, and maker of verse. Nell makes a success of everything she undertakes. The Lees feel at a loss without her; the French Cir- cle ne comprend pas when she is absent. The Degree Team is paralyzed unless she plays; the club room trirls adore her. And intellect! Oh, well, she is up on every subject from the Einstein Theory to the discourse on the sublimation of adolescent love. And have you noticed her hair? Her roommate even threatens to take her on a tour and make money off the greatest wonder of the twentieth century. In our estimation. Nell is one of the finest girls who leave the halls of her Alma Mater, and we feel sure her good influence will he felt wherever she may go — whether she ministers as a teacher or teaches a minister.

A.; Greek Literature Club; President Roanoke Club; Stratford Literary Society, 1917--18. 1918- ' 19. Grace is musical from her finger tips to her toes — as is seen by the masterful way in which she manipulates the pipe organ on Sundays. During the week she and her ukelele are a constant source of fun to the crowd in the upper hall of Dormitory 3. and a source of despair to the head monitor ! She has earnestly struggled for an intelligent mastery of dietetics terminology, and has reached the point where she can eat enzymes without disaster to her equilibrium. MARY SP TTSW ID GLASSETT Y. W. C. A. Mary, with her strong, invincible determination and decided individuality, stands out against the background of our student life, as do the rugged hills of the great Southwest from which she conies. There is no branch of knowledge into which Mary has not peeped at some time in the many years she has spent in the various schools of Virginia. No problem has ever been presented too difficult for her fertile brain or clever hand. Her talents are so diversified that it is hard to put her into any definite sphere. However, we believe that she would be a shining light in the musical, classical, educational, or industrial world. Better than her many talents is her fine sympathetic spirit. She reacts to all our troubles with a compassionate understanding, and has the knack of drawing from her varied experiences the thing that will help us most. PAULINE ELIZABETH LAYMAN Y. W. C. A.; Lee Society; President Hume Economics Club, 1919- ' 20; De- gree-P. G. Basket Ball Team, 1918- ' 19, ' 19- ' 20; First Lieutenant Co. D, 1918- ' 19. Pauline Layman? Do I know her? — Well, yes. She ' s that Titian-haired star who always shone with such brilliancy in Mr. Duke ' s Supervision Class, making the rest of us eager listeners to her knowing questions and her equally intelligent answers. Her classmates call her just P. Layman, hut she is known to the Sophomores as Miss Lay- man, for to them she teaches the art of good cooking. Pauline is an anient upholder of her profession, and will be a credit to her Alma Mater and a joy forever to the man for whom she makes a home.

Mutt has hecome quite famous at H. X. S. for her skill in dancing. Why. did she not arrange all of the dances for the Stratford play? Not only is she the rival of Irene Castle in dancing, and the rival of Harrison I ' ishcr in art. hut she is naturally bright. Merla is a good pal, a cheery companion, and a staunch friend. She says she is going to work in Washington next winter: but between Mrs. Johnston and the Athletic Council, we think she will be forced to return again to H. X. S. Anyhow, Mutt, here ' s the best of luck to you!  i - , « a %v I 1S m H ' . ..- ' • ' ■ H ipi I ' AI ' LIXE MI LEY Rockbridge Club; Kindergarten Club; Lanier Literary Society, 1916- ' 17, 1917- ' 18, 1918- ' 19; Sergeant-at-Arms Post-Graduate Class, 1918- ' 19; Sergeant- at-Arms Degree Class, 1919- ' 20; Degree Basket Hall Team. 1918- ' 19, L919- ' 20. There ' s a bit of blarney about Polly that makes everyone love her. She is quite moody and non-committtal at times, but we attribute that to her good common sense. No doubt Polly ' s sister is a valuable alibi in interpreting the trials and tribulations of school life. Anyway, we prophesy that Fully will entertain Normal girls for years to come. In her we have found a staunch little basket ball player, always ready to whip the enemy and willing to challenge the faculty. She stars also in teaching the little tots. For no one else but Polly could have tilled the position Mr. Keister had vacant after Christmas. Polly is such a good dancer, so stylish, attractive, and capable a girl that we wonder that she has stayed with us so long. MARY McKEE SEEBE R V. W. C. A.; Lanier Literar) Society; Secretary and Treasurer Rockbridge Club, 1917- ' 18; President Rockbridge Club, 1919- ' 20; Mary Club; Home Kco- nomics Club. Mary is everybody ' s friend — even the oversleepers ' who rush madly up the steps onlj to see the door locked in their faces. We ' d think they might blame Mary, hut her |iiiet positiveness and businesslike air only win their respect and admiration. On Thursdays Mary dons immaculate white, assumes her most domestic air. and goes over the hill in the hospital to impart to the nurses some of her knowledge of dietetics. She loves all work of this sort so dearly that we are assured of her success whether she manages a large establishment or cooks for two. DOROTHY McKTNLEY SPOONER President Student Government ; President Post-Graduate Class : President Degree Class; President Stratford Literary Society; President Junior Red Cross; Vice-President Student Government; Vice-President Stratford Dramatic Club; Vice-President Home Economics Club; Critic Stratford Literary Society; Ser- geant-at-Arms Stratford Dramatic Club; Secretary Sophomore Class; Secretary Home Economics Club; Basket Ball Team; Top Sergeant Co.

If you want to get some idea of what Dorothy has meant to the school during her five- year stay here, and what the j i rls think of her. we refer you to the list of honor-, above, and to the School Mirror. She has taken such an active and important part in every phase of life ii Blue-Stone Hill that we wonder how the place will go on without her. Her unfailing good humor, practical sense, and inimitable wit make up a personality that is irresistible to man and maid alike. So many walks in life lie open to her that we wonder whether she will win fame as a chemist, captivate the hearts of little Johnnies and Susies in the schoolroom, star as a hero with Mary Pickford. help manage a country post office, or make some mere man happy, I«)SA MAY TINDEF i September i Y. W. C. .: Home Economics club. We have known few people who think so little of self and so much of other people. No matter how tired she is or how pitiful your jeremiad, Rosa will forget what she has planned to do and offer the best that she has to help make life hrighter. The sick and the homesick find in her a refuge and help in the time of tronhle. Nothing upsets her wholesome optimism— not even a visit from her supervisor. itli brave heart and smiling face she accepts life as she finds it. and in her quiet, unobtrusive was does what she can to help make it better.

A.; Honorary Member John Marshall Club; Greek Literature Club; Sergeant-Major, School Military. Capability is writ in large letters all over Jo ' s commanding figure. If you want any scheme put through successfully, get Jo interested, and watch her carry it through in a most efficient and businesslike manner. She applies this same efficiency to all her tasks. Of the Special English papers she is the guardian angel, and again she has the chance to apply her energy and system. Having been a diligent member of Dr. Gifford ' s Class in Statistics, she knows how to manipulate these grades scientifically; and she docs so accord- ingly — to the joy of a few. However, she runs not altogether to the practical. We love to hear her read poetry, and her ability to sing is appreciated in her church as well as in her school.

W. C. A.; Executive Board, 1919- ' 20; Fifth Sergeant Co. C, 1918- ' 19. We all wonder why Dorothy, with her musical talents, doesn ' t enter the game i a professional glee cluh leader. If anyone wants a musical program, Dorothy and her Glee Club will do it, since all of her interests lie with that department. For several years we thought Miss Shaeffer ' s call would lie her vocation and work would be her avocation; hut in the past year Harrisonburg has changed for her. and no doubt she will acknowledge a new calling. Dorothy has plenty of pep and is a favorite with many. What more could she want than prett hair, charming voice, good-looking clothes, and attractive manner? Indeed, she will he an asset for the Presbyterian choir. £ntrt=2Deux No prominence isgiv ' n us here; We ' re the P. G. ' s! In fact, our rank is nol made clear Just the P. G. ' s!

And she won it with honors, too, for she was one of our All- A girls. Don ' t you remem- ber those soft brown eyes and that gentle manner which gained for her so tnanv friends, but never one who could take the nlace of her sister, Ada Lee ?

RUTH ELIZABETH BROWN Home Economics (7k ' ; Pied- mont-Midland Club; Glee Club: Ruth Club; R. O. ' . M. , id P.: V. IV. C. . . The calmness and ease with which she til into the scheme of things is a state that we all envy. Needless t say, « e also covet her g 1 grades, and ad- min- the plucks waj she works for them. Then, she is an ad- mirable teacher and yets every- thing conected with sewinf cooking across to the Mc- ( iaheysville children. ELLEN C Uir.KU. Pinquel Tennis Cluh; Ellcn- II rim Club; Home Econo- mics Club; President Lee Literary Society; Senior Basket Ball Team; Chair- man Social Committee Y. It . C. . . Ellen comes into prominence by licr basket ball playing, her wit, and her acting. Gruesome shivers ni - down our pities when we recall the Ik .Mow and the spectral Figure of Death in The March of Democracy ; hut how we laugh about Aunt Agnes — the closest have the Bo ever had. MARGARET VIRGINIA CARPENTER Glee Cluh; Kindergarten Club; Senior Hockey Team; Shen- andoah Valley Cluh. We see very little of Mar as the town affairs are very demanding ; hut what we see. we like. She is a jolly classmate. When she finds the time in study, we don ' t know, for her porch l ks like an eternal party: but she is al- ways ready with an apt answer in clasv .MARY MOZELLE CARPER Mary Club; Lanier Literary Society; Shenandoah Valley Club; Grammar Grade Se- nior Club; Senior Hockey Team; V. W. C. . . It ' s the truth, Mozelle knows when to stop talking and can do it, too. Oh, no, she isn ' t the mousey kind a hit! Who can beat her discoursing on a pet subject? And hasn ' t she laughed herself almost fat en- ough to make the fat team ? Mozelle declares she loves P. T. But that isn ' t all her system- atic ways arc good for. Lis- ten : She is the best house- keeper you ever saw. ETHEL ADELIA CHAXXIXG Pinquet Tennis Club; Norfolk Club; Lee Literary Society; Kindergarten Club; ) ' . II ' . C. A.; Glee Club. Surely in some previous in- carnation Ethel Channing and Ethel Lanier — the two Ethels — were twins. What jolly con- genial times these two room- mates have together ! Ethel C. boasts a sweet high voice in Glee Club, a passion for special deliveries, and an unfortunate way of acquiring the mumps at a most inopportune time. CECILE MUNSEY CHAPMAN Camp Fire Club; R. 0. D. M. and ?.; Home Economics Club; Y. W. C. A. One rarely sees Cecile with- out needle-work in her hand. She is industrious. She takes life seriously and affords amusement for her friends by her unique (?) use of slang. And did you ever know her gentle ministrations in sick- ness? ANXIE MAY DAVIS Secretary Lee Literary ciely; Shenandoah I ' alley Club; Camf Fire Club: Glee Club; Senior Hockey Team: Chairman Alumna Commit- tee ) ' . W. C. A. In May we have a littlr body and a wise head. She stars in practise teaching and Y. W. work, week-end trip-, and vis- itors from home! She spends two days .mt of every -even at home: and when she is here, we catch frequent glimpses of her kissing some male relatives i ? i from Shendo-Iand. LELOUISE EDWARDS President Stratford Dramatic Club: Lee Literary Society; Racket Tennis Club; Execu- tive Board; Glee Cluh: Treasurer Norfolk Club: Senior Hockey Team; Kin- dergarten Club: President Y. IV. C. A. I. lionise with her sweet and gracious personality is every- body ' s friend. She has been a success in many ways, and no position is too hard for her to fill — presidency of the V. V.. leading lady in the Stratford play, star speech-maker for the Seniors — all are evidences of her versatile talent-. ELIZABETH EWING We imagine that if Kliza- beth wen- mi the campus, she would help us out in our school life and activities; but since she is in town, we only see her in classes. Her jolly good- natured smile is infectious, and the Home Economic- girls forget all troubles when she tells a joke: and she tells many. Elizabeth will make an ideal one in the cottage built for two. MARY McKANN FOLLIARD President Norfolk Club; Sec- retary Norfolk Club; Secre- tary S tr at f o r d Dramatic Club; Secretary and Treas- urer Racket Tenuis Club; P r e sid e n t Kindergarten Club; Glee Club; Secretary Mary Club; ) ' . W. C. A. No one girl stands out more prominently for jolly good na- ture and even temperament than Mary. She has gone through the entire two years of Normal life in its abs and subs without being once ruffled. Her powers of improvisation are wonderful. Witness Ah Charlie in The Eastern Gate. DOROTHY HIKES FOSQUE President Eastern Shore Club; Treasurer R. O. D. M. and B. ; Member E x e c u t i v e Board; Lanier Literary So- cictv: Home Economics; Y. W.C.A. Dorothy has been a member of our class only one year, but we have had a chance to get acquainted with her good na- ture, which has never failed her even under such trying cir- cumstances as the Tommy- boy episode. Dorothy ' s tal- ents have a wide range. With equal success she can imper- sonate Samuel Johnson or make an Easter bonnet. IRIS FAY GLASSCOK President Lee Literary So- ciety; H. D. of D. A.. II. H. S.; Piedmont-Midland Club; ) ' . W. C. . . When the bells of Blue Stone Hill rang last Septem- ber, Iris came to us again after an absence of a year. She soon made herself known to her new classmates by her ability to render difficult pro- nunciations in the most ap- proved way. Time disclosed other good qualities that will hi lp her on her way through life. She has the real literary flavor. LICE VIRGINIA Cool) Shenandoah Valley Club: II. D. I... II. II. S.; French Circle. It is delightful to know Vir- ginia, for she is smart and bright, quick at repartee, and has individualistic views of things. Latin is easy for Iter —and French r ' s roll easilj from her tongue. Virginia comes in daily from Dayton, and so has missed some of our school-girl fun. GOLDIE ELIZABETH HAMMER .V I ra I f r ,1 I hamuli,- Club; Glee i  ' ' .

[Catherine is another one of our da pupils ; so we di i not have a chance to see her cn- cepl at classes. Bui there her earnest demeanor tells us that school life is not just fun for her. Perhaps some day (Catherine will specialize in music, for we have noticed. how much pleasure she seems to get out of our concerts hire. MARGARET CLARE HARXSBERGER Pinquet Tennis Club: Junior Basket Ball Team; Senior Basket Ball Team; Home Economics Club; R. O. D. M. and B.; Shenandoah Val- ley Club; Y. IV. C. A. What rhymes with Clare? Why, that aristocratic little air — and nothing snits the girl or the name better. With all her quiet dignity and poise. the way she manages her eyes in the glare of the footlights is the envy and despair of all. CATHARIXE HARRISON Lanier Lite r a r y Society ; President Senior Grammar Grade Club; C at h a r i n e Club; Shenandoah I ' alley Club; Assistant Business M a n a a e r Schoolm a ' am : Chairman World Fellow- ship Committee ! ' . II ' . C. . . Speakin ' of knowing things, there is nothing that Catharine doesn ' t know something about. Xo matter what you tell, she can go you one better. She doesn ' t approve of fads. Re- liability is her second name. and exactness her strong point. EVA LOUISE HARWELL Lee Literary Soeiety; Treas- urer Senior Class; Glee Club; Norfolk Club; V. II ' . C. A.; Senior Grammar Grade Club. Capability and steadfastness are keynotes to Louise ' s char- acter. It takes a steady, clear head to keep up with the fi- nancial affairs of the Senior class, but Louise has accom- plished it in the office of treas- urer. She is also one of the star songsters of the school, but quite reticent about it (an- other sterling quality I. MARY VIRGINIA II iSKINS Lanier Literary Society; Rack- et Tennis Cluh: High School Senior Cluh; Mary Club; ! ' . ir. c. a. Mary is inclined to be hilari- ous — most things strike her as funny. But her aptitude for figures served her and her friends well in Math 17 last year, and is also the cause of her good standing in P. T. Her great failing is her liking for Xorris — Candy. LILLIAN ' CARTER HATCHER Secretary Lanier Literary So- ciety; Home E c o n o hi i c s Club; R. 0. D. M. and B.; Racket Tenuis Cluh; Y. W . C. A. Well, what shall we say about Lillian? Being a little better than the best and a link- worse than the worst, she ' s rather hard to classify. If you are hunting someone to go down town, or someone to make the fourth in 500. you need look no farther than your elbow; for by instinct she seems to know that she is wanted, and there she is. HAZEL I IAIN ' ice-P resident S I r a if o r d Dramatic Cluh; Vice-Presi- dent Shenandoah Valley Cluh; Principal II. S. Cluh; Business Manager Senior Class: Y. W. C. A. The Senior Tea Room bear- witness to Hazel ' s financial ability and power of accom- plishment. Perhaps she is also the cause of such regular at- tendance at Senior meetings ! Show us the delinquent from whom she cannot collect flues. One of our most vivid memo- ries of Hazel is her portrayal of Mrs. Jiggs. ROSA PAYXE HEIDELBERG Lee Literary Society; Home Ei onomics Club; R. 0. I . M. and B.; Racket Tennis Club; Junior Basket Ball Team; Senior Basket Ball Team; Business Manager Ju- nior Class; Student Member . Idvisory Board of The I ' ir- ginia Teacher ; Y. II ' . C. . I . She has the gift of accom- plishing work — Sure and it ' s a fine housewife she would make, for it ' s sew she can, and cook divinely. Rose has de- lighted us frequently, too, at chapel, with her musical pro- grams, and always with her good scholarship. DAISY HENTONE Daisy believes that one should Attempt the end and never stand to doubt; Nothing ' s so hard, but search will find it out. And so she has taken By perseverance to be her motto, and with patience she perse- veres. She has never been seen idle. Neither has she been heard to say anything un- kind, for she has a big heart that overlooks the irritating little things. DELSIE MAE HITT Lanier Literary Society; Pied- mont-Midland Club; Senior Grammar Crude Club; ) . W. C. A. In remembering Delsie ' s take-off of Miss Myers, we feel sure her mission in life will be tending the sick. She looks the part of the sturdy, dependable nurse, and we have certainly found her to be capa- ble and thorough. Of all the Hitts we ' ve ever struck, Delsie is the best Hitt vet! ! EMMA GREENE HUPP Home Economics Club: R. . D. M. ami A 1 .; ) ' . ' . C. A. Emma is commonly known as Huppie to the inmates of her hall. At frequent inter vals those same inmates arc startled l such luir - spontaneous fun as never lie- tore shook a dormitory. They come from the part of the building where that same Hup- pie and Iter roommate i Speical English is not her specialty — hut oh, her delii pies ! BESSIE PAULINE JOHNSON President Stratford Dramatic Club: High School Club; French Circle; Secretary ) ' . ' . C. A. She ' s small, but full of dig- nity. Pete is a mixture of fun and studiousness. Al- though quiet and reserved, she has an abundance of pep and is ever reliable. Her good nature is a tonic for all of us, while her steady work for the Y. W. C. A. is an inspiration. MIRIAM ELEANOR JONES Stratford Dramatic Club; Glee Club; Norfolk Club: R. 0. D. M. an, I ;..■ Home nomics Club; Y. II ' . C. A. Miriam ' s program at II. X. consists of acquiring do- mestic ability, talking Father. and trilling away in the music r n. Her power of vocal mesmerizing was well demonstrated in the ki over the garden wall. . HARRIET ELIZABETH KELLY Lanier Literary Society; Pied- mont-Midland Club; High School Senior Club; Y. W. C. A. Harriet lias a weakness for dates — both in Dr. Wayland ' s history class and in Bridge- water. She has been the heroine in many mad esca- pades in Upper Third, and has rescued more than one girl from attacks of persistent ro- dents. There is a resolute head under those dark curls, and it is set straight for Sun- day school every time. CLARE FRANCES LAMBERT I ' ice-President Senior Class; Treasurer Racket Tennis Club; President Shenandoah Valley Club; Lanier Literary Society; P. A ' ., H. H. S.; Athletic Council; French Circle; Y. W. C. A. Sincerity is the key-note to Clara ' s character, and also the secret of her popularity ; and her home, McGaheysville, is the Mecca for a number of week-end visitors, because Cla- ra is as generous with invita- tions as with her car-rides. ETHEL PRINXE LANIER Lanier Literary Society: Pied- mont-Midland Club; Tinquet Tennis Club; Grammar Cade Club; Glee Club; Y. W.C. A. Ethel ' s strong point is the music that seems a thing in- born. There is rhythm in her every movement. She ' s pretty and gay, always in for a good time, especially if these good times mean trips to A. M. A. Her one worry in life is that she will get too thin ! BESSE GLADYS LAY Secretary R. 0. D. M. and B.;Home Economics Club; Y. If. C. .1. As a proof that all great people do not attain a superior height, we have as example George Washington, Alexan- der Hamilton, atul Besse Lay. A casual observer would never pick her out as teacher, seeing her with Iter class at McGa- heysville. Vet there is a subtle wit. a frankness, and a serious- ness about Iter that we envy and admire. OLIVE MI .I ' AII MAGRUDER Lanier Literary Society; Rack- et Tennis Club; Kindergarten Club; Secretary Shenandoah Valley Club; Camp Fire Girls; Glee Club; V. W. ( . .1. She ' - rather quiet until you know Iter and dainty de- scribes her to a T. Olive- was born to be a kindergarten teacher. She hath the look. the voice, and the manner, and the children love her.

Marion is a dear and a de- light — i n nn i, id ever ready t.. meet the needs of her friends, In time of their trouble Mori- like a mother she wire but who can enjoy and enter into fun more ardently than she at time- ? MARY LOUISE McCALEB Lanier Literary Society; Senior High School Club; Mary Club; Y. W. C. A. Sh! Sh! How often the girls in Lower Third have heard that when Mary tried to keep the hall tjniet enough for diligent study? Mary works hard and plays hard, and her Latin figures in both activities. And then, one often envies her modesty and common sense. MARY ELIZABETH McGEHEE Piedmont-Midland Club; Mary Club; Glee Club: Home Eco- nomies Club; K. 0. D. M. and B.; Camp Fire Club; Y. W. C. A. Mary has a delicious sense of humor, and an inclination — though slight — to practical jokes: but her reticence and quiet air somewhat conceal these lively traits. Mary is ca- pable and energetic, and has helped push more than one hindering rock from the path of the Senior Class. MARY THELMA MILLER Piedmont-Midland Club; Mary Club; French Circle: Senior High School Club; Y. W. C. A. Thelma is one of our real scholars. It is the despair of her classmates to keep up with the quantity and quality of her notes. Xot in content matter alone does she excel ; on the average of once a day. some instructor holds up Thelma ' s paper as a model of penman- ship. ( If she weren ' t so good about helping us, we might be devoured with envy. ) PENELOPE CAMPBELL MORGAN Home Economics Club; Glee Club; Chairman Religious Meetings Committee ) ' . W. C. A. Poor Pennj ! Everything makes her soul sick. even the holes in the campus. In spite of tlii . she is always smiling, and has something to say about any subject that hap- pens tn he brought up. The most remarkable thing about Perm) is her gait — it is posi- tively fast. Even though her feet do run away with her, her head is full of ideas. When- ever the Seniors warn anything startlingly original, they turn to Penny. MARION BELT NESBITT Captain Senior Hockey Team: Captain Senior Basket Hull Team; Athletic Council; President Racket Tennis ( ' ii b ; Piedmont-Midland Club: Let Literary Society; Annual Staff; I ' . ' ' . C. . . 1 tere ' s to Marion Nesbitt, Drink lu-r down ! Never acclaim rang more thrillingly through Blue Stone Halls than this from the depths of the Senior hearts to their Captain. It is said that Mar- ion is one of the most loved girls in school. It is certain lhal she i one of the most pop ular among both faculty and students. Ilcr teats are not confuted to liasket Hall alone. She i a vigorous, all-round athlete : on the hockey fi Id, Morris dancing, and— oh. well, w e haven ' t room. MARGARET GRIFFIN NORFLEET Glee Club; Pinquct Tennis Club: Norfolk Club; Y. I . A. Margaret sings like a lark, and delights us often when we pass by her room during periods. A haven of resl i that room, for she keeps it a model of neatness and cleanliness, even during such epochs as holidays and funior-Senior week. . MARY CATHERINE O ' NEAL Mary Club: Shenandoah al- ley Club; High School Sen ior Club; Catherine Club; Y. W. C. A. Another reason for us to love the Irish ! The most be- witching accent and the shyest kind of a dimple, and a tribute of local color on al- most any subject that we touch on in class, are Cathe- rine ' s characteristics. How- ever Irish, though, the ham she brings us after week-end trips is none other than Ole Virginia ' s best. CLARA ELIZABETH O ' NEAL Senior High School Club; Shenandoah I alley Club. Y. W. C. A. Clara has the same Irish brogue that is one of Cathe- rine ' s charms. A subtle, sweet humor and cleverness lie un- der a quietly calm exterior, and but few bask in the reve- lation of her character as she expands in the warmth and sunshine of friendship. KATHERINE PETTUS Lee Literary Society; Kathe- riue Club; Glee Club, Pied- mont-Midland Club; Racket Tennis Club; Secretary and Treasurer Glee Club; II. D. 1. D.. H. II. S.; Y. W. C. A. Kitty enjoys life at H. N. S. Her sympathy and inter- est in everyone here, her gen- tle manner, her contagious gaiety, she shares with all. She is always busy, but oc- casionally she finds time to put a few artistic touches on posters. Her literary ability is a joy to all of us — the ease with which she throws off Senior write-ups, poems, and essays is a never-ceasing wonder. MARY JUDKINS PHILLIPS Piedmont-Midland Club; Home Economics Club; Treasurer Stratford Dramatic Club; Glee Club: Racket Tennis Club: )■. W. C. .1. Mary ' s independence, her common sense, and her abil- ity to do things well are her chief characteristics. Sin never tails — her efficiency and self-confidence prevent that. She gives — and gi most pleasure from sin iiiL:. and her hobbies are Glee Club and Mrs. Sprinkel. (CATHERINE MOZELLE POWELL Secretary Stratford Dramatic Club; Vice-President La- nier Literary Society; Pied- mont-Midland Club; (ilse Club: Kathcrine Club; IK of .1. .1.. II. II. S.: V. W. Moze has an affinity for raving: the Stratford play — her practise teaching — her latest auto experience — they all get their share.

M. and I:.: Piedmont-Midland t tub. Why linger on a long eu- i ' gj of her virtues and ca ties, with an honor list like tin- above staring us in the face? It speaks with sufficient eloquence of Margaret — and what the girls think of her. JEAN MAXWELL QUISENBERKV Home Economics Club; R. O. D. M. and P.; Piedmont Midland Club; ! ' . W. C. A. If you would have your jokes well digested and appre- ciated, tell tliem to gentle Maxwell. Her sense of humor tides her over many difficult places. But not even her sense of the ridiculous can see any- thing funny in practise teach- ing and lesson plans. ELLA MOORE REEVES High School Senior Club; Shenandoah Valley Club; Y. W. C. A. Ella can get more said in a given length of time than any- other two people we know. Possibly she talks so fast t. make up for being such a lit- tle piece of humanity, for she is one of the Senior babies ; hut we know her smallness is confined to size only.

Who ' s tlie nimblest, lank- iest, willowiest, string-beani- est, interpretative-impression- istic-aesthetic dancer on the floor: and the quickest, surest little forward that ever was Marion Nesbitt ' s right hand? And who keeps the ball rolling so fluently at the French table? And lastly, who reads Dante ' s Inferno while the rest of us are dwarfing our feeble intellects with the Ladies Home Journal? We can an- swer in one syllable ami in unison — Nell. RUTH SOMERVILLE ROYSTON Critic Lanier Literary Soci- ety; Shenandoah Valley Clul ' : Secretary-Treasurer Camp Fir,- Club; High School Senior Club; Rock- bridge Club: y. IV. C. .1. Ruth has been called the original talking machine of H. X. S. But her opinii people and things art- well worth listening in. We have been charmed by her take- offs— from Patsy, the washer- woman ' s daughter, to Miss Lyons. It is her highest am- bition to play a grown-up, well-bred part m some dra- matic presentation. 1 Dili I [RENE SAGLE Piedmont-M i d I a n d ( '  b ; Home Economics Club: A ' . O. D.

Edith has hidden depths and only tin- twinkle in her eye betrays Iter interest in the passing events of life, fo - ' k indeed believes that Silence is golden.

S. D., H. H. S.; Rockbridge Club: Y. W. C. A. Nothing daunts Margaret ' s spirit, not even Practise- Teaching trips to Pleasant Hill — though her bandaged wounds one day suggested a recent return from the firing line. Margaret is a wonder at chemistry, but it wasn ' t her desire for practical experi- ments that caused her to test the reaction of a Ford on a telegraph pole. LOUISE ESTHER SHUMADINE Vice-President Stratford Dra- matic Club; Vice-President Kindergarten Club; Secre- tary Lanier Literary Society: Norfolk Club: Glee Club: Y. IV. C. A. Shumie is a bundle of surprises — from the Indian in the spot-light to the Coolie at the Gate. She has done good work at H. N. S., and her un- failing good nature has en- deared her to many here. Should teaching ever grow monotonous, Shumie can easily do Chinese-character parts. CLARICE BROWNE SMITH Lanier Literary Society: Sen- ior Grammar Grade Club: V. W. C. A. Clarice has two attributes to fame — her never-ceasing good nature, and being fat. Very probably the one relies on the other, but is she good- natured because she ' s fat, or is she fat because she ' s good- natured? At any rate, it ' s a joy to be around her; for if you ' re blue, she cheers you up ; and if you ' re glad, she keeps you glad. RUBY REBECCA SMITH Piedmont-Midland Club; .11 bcmarle Pippins; V. W ( ' . A. Ruby is our smallest senior, bul she has long known how !.■ assert herself. Sin- lias opinions and is outspoken with them. And we arc unable to prophecy t what lengths her generositj will take her. for she even hands out cream puffs with l; 1 grace. There is magic in her fingers, as the large number of nosters which she has made will tes- tify. BETTY GUY SOMERVILLE Lanier Literary Society: High School Club; Shenandoah Valley Club; French Cir- cle: Y. W. C. .1. Quiet, dignified, reserved. yet often she surprises us bj her mischievous mirth and wit. Betty is lovable, and true as steel. No doubt she will make a good school- ma ' am, tor was she not tak- en fur one during the recent invasion of our pedagogical friends? MARY FRANCES STELL Glee Club: Racket Tennis I tub; II. of M. D. in II. II. S.; Stratford Dramatic Clul : Athletic Council; Norfolk Club; V. W.C. A, Ardent, impulsive in tem- perament, quick to resent a wrong, but as quick to ac- knowledge a fault, is Frances. Flashing brown eyes, her honest-to-goodness a implex- ion, and a lavish supply of stylish clothes — that, too, is Frances. SARAH MARGARET STONE Piedmont-Midland Club; Pin- quct Tenms Club; Senior Hockey Team; Kindergarten Club; } . W. C. A. Our reflections upon Mar- garet naturally fall under three heads: her slow drawl, her stylish clothes, and her walks with ' Cile. The second item furnishes a good deal of pleasure to her friends, who profit by the number of her dresses and by Margaret ' s willingness to lend them. In fact, so generous is she with them, that frequently when she starts down town, she meets herself coming back. MARIOX ST I Til THOMAS Lanier Literary Society ; Vice- President Home Economics Club; R. D. of D. M. and B.; Piedmont-Midland Club; Racket Tennis Club; V. W . C. A. If worry causes wrinkles and gray hair. Marion will never grow old. She loves a good time and generally has it. But she can bear respon- sibility when it is thrust upon her, for she patiently and effi- ciently conducted the Senior Tea Room. One shall always remember her by her clothes and her immense correspond- ence. ERMA MARIE TIECHE R. 0. D. M. and B.; Secre- tary Home Economics Club; Secretary Lee Literary So- ciety; Y. W. C. A. Erma is different — all her clever, yet original remarks on people a nd things, all her mad MacDowell and Chopin fren- zies, all her queer and expres- sive hand languages, make her so. She leads cheers and yells; she can quote volumes of poetry ; she can play pages of the masters: she has Elbert Hubbard ' s criticisms of music- masters for a favorite com- panion: she startles one with her abrupt but well-turned re- marks — oh. it is easy to write a eulogy on Erma! ANN ' IK TOMKO Treasurer Home Economic Club; R. O. ). .1 . and B. V. II ' . C. A. Nothing i ever too unpre- possessing for Annie to ' 1 . No matter what your difficult) ' i . she will help you in. Her work — regardless of how pressing it is — can wait. One might call her steady, and sin is always calm in the midst of excitement. LOUISE W ATKINS WALKER Piedmont-Midland Club; High School Club: I. auicr Literary Society; Y. W . C. . I.: Long- Haircd Creeks. An ever present help in time of trouble — whether you need sympathy or clothes. Sun- shine is all about her. and it is a treat to see a smile Hash forth at her fourth-graders. Louise seldom leads, hut is ever willing to follow— for she fid- lowed, third, with the mumps.

IV. C. .1. A thing to muse on is her command of the language of the poets. It would be impossi ble to mention a poem Beowulf that she has not read or heard of. She has ability to store fragments of each in her mind, and she quotes them on occasions. Her sweet, calm generousness will make it pos- sible for her to meet patrons — and irate parents — easiK.

Next to remembering Sarali as the pilot of a class through four successful years, we shall remember the team of the Fatties. And then — memories of the Beach scene in the Se- nior Quarantine Frolics!

CHARLOTTE YANCEY Secretary Freshman Class; Secretary Junior Class; Cap- tain Fresh man Basket Ball Team; Glee Club; Kinder- garten Club; Shenandoah I ' alley Club. And here ' s a gay girl to write up ! We wonder and wonder how Charlotte can do the myr- iad of town good-times, and yet accomplish anything at all a 1 o n g suident-and-1 e s s o n lines. Her high standing at H. X. S. has never been ex- celled, although she has had four years of competition. Charlotte wants to teach in Winchester — because it is near home.

The story opens with a rep- resentation of allied nations in the enjoyment of pleasures com- mon to countries at peace. Breaking in upon this happy scene, comes the domineering spirit of Autocracy, who commands the people to submit to the law of might or die. Following Autocracy are War, Famine, Fire, Hunger, and Death. These hold sway until America and Democracy appear, bringing all the war activi- ties to their aid, and scourge Autocracy from the stage ot action. A reign of Liberty is then established and peace is restored. —Tin-: Lee Literary Society fttratforb Dramatic Club O otro All the world ' s a stage, And all the men ami women merely plaxcrs. colors Pink unci ( ireen J-Iororr I Yinin im ' )t tets ' resident I ' ice-P resident Secretary ....

Which leaves you not the least excuse To argue and rebel. You go to the infirmary To stay til you are wei But when you hear the rising bell Ring out its loud alarm, You snuggle down and sleep some more : Bells cannot work you harm. They bring your breakfast on a tray : Some toast so good and warm. You try your best to chew it — but Your jaws refuse to work! They crack and pop and jump about And shut up with a jerk.

Ahead of hin tastefully dressed girl (nothing unusual in this either) dauuil) made her way through the traffic. Something ahout her lilting walk caught ami held the attention of the afore-mentioned lack, and hi- eyes took in the details of her dress. Her gown was very modish, though not extreme (one can tell so much ahout the character of a woman by the gown she chooses). He liked her carriage, no accentuated, modern drooping, such as some irK affect. And then, the clothes she wore were just what he fa- vored. He had always fancied ihai particular shade of green. And the close fitting little early spring hat, set off by it- jaunty feather, was also to his taste. Having made her way through the crowds, she stepped into a natty little roadster, and with the ease of one born in the wheel, threaded through the con ted traffic. He found his own machine and swung it into the line of ear- jusl two behind her. Why not follow her? | He had the entire afternoon to himself. 1 He ' d like to see the face — the hack almost guaranteed that he wouldn ' t be disappointed. She gave the traffic sign and turned her car around the corner. Despite a big truck bearing down upon him, he also turned the corner, just missing a pedestrian and the truck, tun. But good fortune was with him. and site was still in sight. He followed her for several blocks into the residential section, where the traffic began to thin, and her ear went forward with a spurt.- She certainly was master of her machine, lie also added mure gas. About fifteen minutes later he noticed she was leading him to the suburb in which he lived. Wouldn ' t it be peculiar if this girl were a neighbor of his? - He would arrange a meeting in some way through a mutual friend — and first impres- sions are lasting— and you never can tell . Well! she was stopping in front of his brother ' s house. Why hadn ' t Anna- belle told him she numbered this daughter of the gods among her acquaintances? A minute later his own car drew up 1 rs. lie looked — his jaw dropped. Well. I ' ll he jiggered! Hello, hick! I low do vou like my new outfit? exclaimed hi- sister-in-law. Elise I.oi-.w nki; W )t €nb of a Heaben ®ap ELL, 1 don ' t see as how I got any right to be so thankful. — What for, anyhow? Ain ' t everything gone plumb wrong this whole year? Cherry- Beams finished her complaint in a jerky voice, blinking very hard, too. Without even moving her head, she gazed far away over the long strip of meadow-land. Price ' s Bot- tom. But she didn ' t see the burry sheep that were breaking through the weak piece of rail fence, into the school yard. She didn ' t see old Mrs. Higgs picking up sticks along the fence row, nor even hear the angrv Yap, vap, of the spotted dog, as she scattered a bunch of squawking Dominicker hens. She didn ' t see a thing, I ' m sure. She sat there — it must have been five minutes. Her jaw dropped. She could hardly hold back the choke in her throat. Her walnut-stained fingers fumbled and twisted the green and white checked apron helplessly. Mrs. Beams didn ' t seem to see or hear the girl. The mother sat complacently patting one foot and swinging the other as her fingers punched the huge needle through and through Clayt ' s winter corduroys. She stopped, folded her sewing, planted both feet flat on the floor, and with arms folded beneath her ample bosom, let her gaze follow Cherry ' s. And he loved the scene she saw. Oh, no, she didn ' t say this nor think it, nor even know it. But she did love it more than most of us ever love anything, and she wanted no better. The elder folks of the Mill neigh- borhood do not ponder over such things. Over the hills from the schoolhouse came Pap and Clayt, with sacks of fresh- shucked corn across their shoulders for the hogs. The dogs were behind them, hunting rabbits in the corn shocks and sniffing at the hard ground. Down the sycamore-lined road jogged Grandpap on the old roan. Yes, she was stumbling at the broken board in the bridge. ( hit in the yard the guineas were screaming and potteracking over a nubbin of corn, and the children were playing horse- shoe. Nimrod ' s cold was better; he didn ' t rattle so when he ran. A smile spread over his mother ' s broad, red face. A tearful cough from Cherry caught her ear. Well, I never! — Scat! Tab- by. (to the gray cat rubbing against her skirt). What in the world are you snifflin ' fer, Cherry? Don ' t you think it ' s real purty out this evenin ' ? Everything so ca ' m an ' smoky-lookin ' an ' Yes, that ' s jest it ; everything is gray as Tabby, gray jest like I read ' bout things bein ' in a book onct. Here it ' s less ' n a week before Thanksgivin ' , an ' the last machine needle broken jest as I was a-puttin ' the first sleeve in. Then here my big blue gobbler up an ' died, an ' 1 bet even- last one of the flock ' 11 die, too, — an ' Her voice trailed away. An ' Ern, he — it ' taint right he bad to be crippled like he was. Look at Ed Price ! What ' s he done? — Xot even a scratch- - an ' ever ' body a-eatin ' him up; an ' Ern, hi ' — — Again the apron had to be brought into requisition. Now, Cherry, it ' tain ' t a bit o ' use o ' cryin ' over spilt milk. Ern ain ' t the lirst man to lose his leg in a war. Look at Grandpap, an ' him near seventy-two year old. — Elossie, you jest put that there toboggan cap on Nimrod ! — Don ' t set there a-takin ' on so. child. Here, set the tabic an ' dish up the turnips. Make ' aste; here ' s your pap now. After delivering these instructions. Mis. Beams gathered up with one sweep of her arm the tin water buckets from the bench and bustled off in the direction of the spring. Cherry arose from her seat on the steps and obeyed her mother; but her mind did not follow her lingers as she moved from stove to safe, from safe to table. She wasn ' t even thinking what she was doing, but sent Flossie to fetch the sup- per milk iruin the smoke-house instead of from the spring-house. In her thoughts -he was cutting across the April fields t Mrs. Bagby ' s, taking the quilting frames home. Era had been t the mill and had a sack of cracked corn on his back. He had overtaken her ju t a she reached the field that was sown in wheat that year. Wasn ' t ii pretty and green then? Awkwardly he had shuffled up beside her and had taken one of the frames. Goin 1 a-giggin ' with Clayt tonight, Era? she lia l asked. Wal er no the boat lias sprung a leak. They had walked along in silence. Cherry, they got me; an ' I ain ' t got ii way outen ii. gittin 1 into a reserve like Ed Price done. I gotter go o ' Sunday. There had seemed nothing else to say. They had reached the stile where slu- turned off, the stile in the bluebell patch. The pinkish buds were bursting into blue flowers, so thick you could hardly step for them. Didn ' t the) smell sweet? Era had stopped and broken off a branch of bloom from the redbud tree above them. Cherry, at the memory, almost choked now as she forked up the backbone from the pot. I don ' t reckon I ' ll get to see you fer a good spell, he had said ;h he twisted the redbud stem. I heard ' Bije Sipes say as every fellow at the camp had a girl — somebody he wrote to, and she wrote to him. 1 ain ' t much on writin ' , but — won ' t you drop me a line now an ' then? An ' el ' 1 get to come home whole and no worse lookin ' i he had attempted to laugh I than I am now — ller thoughts stayed. And now how was he coming home? An all the time I ' ll he seein ' you adookin ' so purty, he had gone on — An ' now I ain ' t even got one new dress! At this point her feelings gave way to a burst of righteous wrath, mainly wreaked on Tabby ' s kittens and Spot ' s pup. And this sense of wrong continued in various moods throughout the week. Never once was she her playful, bright self. The turkeys continued to die. The dress was flung aside for spite (of whom I do not know, unless it was of Cherry ' s own self) . Xo word came of Era, not even a few lines, to let you know that this leaves me right peart, and hope it finds you enjoyin ' the same great blessin ' . It was a good thing that the elder sister ' s feelings did not penetrate through the entire family, or a very changed household they would have heen. indeed. Hut in order to produce Santa Claus behavior, the children needed only, You childern, how kin I hx a big snack for Thursday with you all ' s goin ' s on. I ' d like to know? Mrs. Beams was too busy to be worrying; and then, what did she have to worry her? I don ' t believe she even saw that Cherry wasn ' t exactly cheerful. At least she didn ' t seem to see. The last Thursday in November was exactly like each of the other Thursdays in November to Cherry. Why should it he different? Things were even grayer than usual; and to make matters worse. Ma started before breakfast counting her blessings: Well, there ' s one blessin ' , anyhow the applebutter has done heen made an ' tied up. and nobody was burnt. An ' butcherin ' is over, and nobody cut but the bogs. It seemed that the list would never end. When would the day be over ? Yet it was not quite dinner time when it happened. Ximrod came running in where Cherry and Ma were setting the table. I ' ll bet you ain ' t seen what I did ! lie pulled her out. Ma following. When they reached the woodpile, he screamed, There he is. Sis! Here he comes! Cherry looked. Why, ' tain ' t nothin ' hut a man. an ' a stranger at that. By that time Spot had spied him and sprung out to greet him. But it was not until he had reached the gate that she recognized him — Ern. But how could it be? Em was a cripple, and this man stood straight and stepped along so briskly, only limping a little in one leg. Why. he didn ' t kind o ' hitch his shoulder along so queer, like Era used to, an ' why Ma got ahead of the entire family to welcome him. Why, Era, it ' tis you. fer shore and certain! You ain ' t hardly hurt at all. an ' 1 declare you ' ve turned real handsome. What have you done to your hair? I vow I never noticed before as your shoulders was so square. Some way your face looks different — your chin sets out so much more than it uster, fer one thing. Jest listen to me. a-standin ' here all clay a-talkin ' an ' never even spoke to you! After a clumsy handshake all around — even Spot ' s paw was put up — they all went into the house. I don ' t know exactly how it was. but somehow Cherry be- gan to change her mind. Maybe there were a few things to be thankful for, after all. After dinner, while Ma and Cherry were clearing off the things. Era showed Clayt how to hold the old rifle right. He told lots of things he saw in France, but he wouldn ' t even mention the hospital, or anything connected with it. And wasn ' t he a jolly fellow, joking so and putting in a few French words here and there? Of course, Ma had to go all over her list of thankfuls again, but occasionally someone else could get a chance. After a while Pap spoke. Wal, Ern, you look so plaguedy thankful, like as if you had more ' n Ma. Give us a few. Era laughed. Well, I guess you are about right, Mr. Beams. It seems like I have got a right smart to be thankful for. I just can ' t think of them off- handed like. For one thing, I ' m powerful glad that this cork foot is on the leg that used to have a frost-bitten one on it. You know that old heel wouldn ' t let me go coon hunting less ' n it cut up all the time and the rest of the winter thrown in. It was after rive o ' clock and getting dark before Cherrv thought about hunt- ing the eggs. Ern said if she didn ' t care, he believed he ' d go out too. and see how things looked. Such an evening as it was! The wind was cutting keenly through the ash trees. The surviving turkeys were just going to roost on the fence, and every- thing seemed so peaceful. Unconsciously they walked over to the stile and stopped. Ern put one loot on the step. I 1 e reached out and broke a dried twig of the redbud tree. He stood w histling slowly.

Did you ever see anything more beautiful than a flock of wild geese? Neither had they unless perhaps, to Ern, Cherry was just a little more so. lie should have told her so. but he didn ' t know how; besides there wasn ' t the chance, for here came another cry: Cherry, ( berry, you all come on in.

Mn (Official Pall of ttje Hasit Centurp N THE afternoon of her graduation daw Betty climbed the steep, narrow stairs that led to the garret. She felt uncertain and new. needing the grave companionship of things that had steppe ; aside, after an honorably rounded career, to meditate among cobwebs. The June sun was warm on the roof, bringing out the smell of old rosin from the knots in the rafters. Cobwebs here and there caught the sunlight upon their dust; a wasp grumbled up and down the dim window ; and in the street a hand-organ droned a march. Betty perched upon her old high chair and wondered what she ought to be thinking about. Life was solemn. Everybody had said so that morning and her own essav had been to that effect, with many quotations to prove the point. Life is real, life is earnest. The world, in effect, needed a number of things done to it. and young peo- ple who were just commencing had heavy responsibility. The discarded furniture and rubbish seemed to be taking counsel together. Is it so solemn? the cradle asked the cross of wax flowers under a glass shade, and received the reply: Why should it he so? One lives on, exists in a joyful world, as long as one is pretty and useful ; then one comes up here to repine over her fate. — It is very quiet, sighed a broken toy drum, across whose bead lay a dejected doll in hoopskirts ; but a frayed, shabby, haircloth sofa replied with dignity, Quiet is a very good thing after all. The opinion of an old leather, brass-bound trunk, hardly perceptible in a dark chimney corner, seemed less simple of interpretation. Betty ' s mother, in tears, had shown her on one occasion what was in it: that grief had bewildered Betty. The desire of idle hands to pry came upon her, and the lid went back with a hoarse cry. The smell of faded, moth-eaten things came up. She lifted the lavender-scented linen cloth, yellow with age. and before her curious gaze lay a uniform with martial glitter. She patted the smooth broadcloth and ran her rin- gers over the yellow buttons. How handsome her young uncle must have looked in it ! The girls in the queer dresses of those days must have thought so. When he wore it, he was only a few years older than Betty ; and he had died before he had known about misfortune and being had, for he had contracted pneumonia exactly two weeks after his brilliant graduation from the leading military school in the South. She folded the coat over the trunk lid so that the row of brass buttons showed up in the dimness. The lining was of white silk, though it had turned yellow with age. This was the sort of coat he had worn to balls. 1 lad he loved to dance then as Betty did now? Had he regretted that he must die and leave the bright future to take care of itself, a future that needed him to till a very large part? Once the coat had been an unimportant part of him; now it was all that remained — the stitches, a little spot that might have been wine, and the button-holes show- ing that they had been buttoned and unbuttoned — but he was quite unreal, who had once been as real as Betty herself. Did one stop being real? she asked her- self, and she wondered if her graduation frock would outlast her real self. Betty was dissatisfied with modern dress and manner-.; s,, she began to day- dream over how pleasant it would have been to live in the days when old-fash- ioned hoopskirts wire worn ami the hair parted demurely in the center with a moss rose tucked into the curl that hung over tin- snowy neck. Sin- wished sh, could have lived in 1865, when her young uncle had been in the official societj i the i ' apital { w . I lun she would have seen hitn and, maybe, accompanied him to one of the grand official balls given once a month. — A young man stood by the trunk, gazing into its depths with a thought ful air. You are a dream, aren ' t you? whispered Hetty. That ' s all. But liis voice was wistful, as if he wished he were more than a mere dream. Then he smiled dimly. The last night I wore that suit, there was a ball — ' In they play the Blue Danube now? Not often, l ut we ' re going to have it tonight. Tonight? And whal is tonight? Why, my graduation reception, you know. ( h. is that so? he mused. u.l it ' s as real to you now as it used to be to me. Me started to put on the coat. The silk is falling to pieces and the moths have been at the sleeves, he said in a low tone. May I have the honor? He bowed before her with crooked elbow. Some- thing happened to the garret; there were glimmering lights and shadows of an- other place, that brightened until there was a great room hanked with flowers and palms; an orchestra at one end was playing the Blue Danube; and there was such a crowd of people in gay, queer clothes that Hetty gasped with astonishment. May 1 have the honor? said the trim young officer, again bowing and offering his arm. She slipped her hand under his elbow and was whirled away into the rustling; crowd all drifting together like autumn leaves, while the orchestra was playing the Blue Danube. For the tirst time she noticed that her dress was of ivorv satin, her slippers satin also, and the fan she carried was of white lace — very costly, she knew. Her uncle left her soon, and returned in a few minutes with a dark-haired girl, who carried a cluster of roses. She no longer wore the rose in her hair, for it had changed places and was now in the button-hole of the youni; officer ' s coat. The rose smelled SO sweet that Hetty ' s face suddenly quivered and wrinkled. Vou mustn ' t cry. said her uncle anxiously, for if you do, you ' ll spoil it all. Oh, please don ' t cry! pleaded the dark-haired girl. Hetty manfully swallowed her tears and accepted the arm of a young lieuten- ant who offered to take her in to supper. The long dining room was softly aglow with candles shaded by pink shades; and the long tallies glistened with sparkling cut-glass and silver. Everyone was laughing and chattering, hut Betty could nOI swallow one mouthful for joy. Once again she felt the tears coming, and she knew she was powerless to restrain them. ne splashed from her chin to the oak floor. The room wavered and the brown rafters took the place of the gleaming chandeliers. The gay crowd vanished, and there was only the open leather trunk with the coat thrown across it. one empty, moth-eaten sleeve dangling to tin- dusty floor. The sleeping sunbeams still lay there at her feel, and the wasp still grum- bled up and down the window. Betty sat up and rubbed her eyes. Where was she? she asked herself. Now she remembered. It was her graduation day. — GOLDIE I I AM MER 21 Cragebp .mm A, MAY I go to Clarksville to high school this fall?

Do you reckon you could behave yourself down there or do you jes ' want to kick up some devilment? No, Pa. I really want to study. An ' Miss Smithson told you one time when I was by last spring, Pa, that I was just mischievous, and she couldn ' t keep me busy in a one-room school. I ' m sorry now that I made her so much trouble. I ' ll work hard, and maybe 1 can get through high school in three years. Now, I don ' t know ' bout your goin ' three years.. That ' s seein ' a long ways; but if you work with a will till the crop ' s all in, maybe you kin go this year. I expect you ' ll have to walk the whole six miles sometimes, though, because some days I ' ll need all three horses. Thank you, Pa, an ' I don ' t mind walkin ' . Better go to the house now, an ' go to bed. We ' ll be out at five o ' clock in the mawnin ' . Want to get that barn full tomorrow. There was a moment ' s silence in the dusk outside the you get such a little sleep in the curin ' season. Let me twelve. I won ' t let the fires go down. The father hesitated a moment, then. Well. 1 reckon jes ' take a quilt mit here where it ' s cool and rest awhile. ' bout midnight. Don ' t let the heat get more ' n a hundred and forty or fifty. The lad turned to make himself comfortable, thinking his father was gone. But the man returned a step, handed the boy some money, and spoke. As soon as you ' re through feedin ' in the mawnin ' you might step over to the sto ' an ' get ;■. pound o ' thread. There ' s a ten. dollar bill too; von kin buy some cloth for your mother to make you some wash shirts an ' anything else you ' ll hatter have. Thank you, Pa. He flung himself down on the ground under the shed. where the flickering light from the open firebox showed him to be a farmer boy of sixteen, extremely well built and broad of shoulder for one so young. In general appearance he was — hands, feet, body, and face — what one would expect in a boy i eared on a tobacco farm. Since he was eight, each year of his life had known eight months of days beginning at five in the morning. In these days he had fed the stock, cut wood, then plowed, hoed, or suckered in the tobacco fields. The other four months there were more chores, and he went to school. Somehow, though, there was a note of incongruity between the face and the tobacco fur on the overalls. The forehead was broad, low. noble ; the black, glossy hair combed back in two perfect waves; the eyes of blue gray were sincere, but sparkling; when he turned his head, one might see a stubborn set to the brown jaw that declared him older than bis sixteen years. The morning found the boy out at five, lie fed the horses, brought two buckets of water from the spring, and chopped a pile of stovew 1. By seven he had had his breakfast and had stepped over to the sto ' and back ; and he went whistling up the hill t the barn. He pitched the bundle from under his arm to the shed, carefull) set the box of tobacco twine in the crotch ol a cedar tree, and immediate!) began that back-breaking labor, priming tobacco. One o ' clock came and found him tying the tobacco having been primed. So fast did he swing the bundles of leaves alternate!) on one side then on the other .it the stick, that his ball of twine disappeared by the time the other tiers were half dune theirs. stout woman with a disappointed face, over which a big quilted bonncl flapped, came up the path from the house to help the menfolks tie. Come on, Mommer, and hand to me. You can hand faster ' n anybody else. Lemme get a chair from under the shed. She passed under, spied the bun- dle, and unwrapped it. Whose shirtin ' i- this here? It ' s mine. Pa said it we get tin- crop in soon enough, I can go to Clarksville :. ' school this fall. An ' Ik- gave me some money, an ' I heard you say the other day you liked that piece • { shirtin ' nver at Sizemore ' s ; so I boughl ten yard- of it for you to make me some school shirt-. . broad, meaningless smile stretched the woman ' s mouth. Humph, pretty sight you ' d make down there with them stuck-up town boys in yo ' overhalls, an ' - with a sarcastic laugh — look at your hands! They look like Latin and French! Don ' t they? n ' as fo ' that shirtin ' . I jes ' l;u ' -s I ' ll make Ethel some school dresses outen it. The shirts you gol are plent) good, an ' whole enough fo ' you till Christmas, round here. An 1 I jes ' u- I ain ' t goin ' to be swellin ' yo ' head by sending ' you to town to school. Now, Mommer. you know I don ' t have to ear overalls In school, an ' 1 guess the tobacco stain ' ll wear off my hands, an ' Lilly ' ll make the shirts if you haven ' t got time. You ain ' t a-goin ' to Clarksville to school this year, nor in. time. You might as well put that in yo ' pipe and smoke it ! You ain ' t goin ' ! You wouldn ' t lie down there two weeks befo ' you wouldn ' t speak to yo ' own mammy an ' daddy. An ' I ain ' t goin ' to have it ! Don ' t lemme hear no more about it. She took a -eat. began handling leaves, and asked whether they had enough thread. The boy knew that speech was final. Me tied viciously, furiously till night- fall, when the barn was full. Then he swallowed his supper in an ominous silence, lie did not offer to sit up at the barn that night. He held out the re mainder of the ten dollars to his father. The father refused to take it. as the boy had known he would. He walked sullenly into the little lean-to called the boys ' room. closed the door, stepped out of the window, trod lightly round the end of the house, then walked boldly down the path to the crossroads, where tlte Cowroad turned north. The Cowroad crowd was going to have some fun that night, lie knew they were to meet at Tillison ' s, three mile- down, lie had been invited, hut had refused because he had never drunk whiskey and he didn ' t -hoot crap. That night at twelve he stepped in at the window of ' .he lean-to. lie wasn ' t exactly steady, and he made no attempt to muffle the noise, lie took twenty- three dollars out of his pocket and put i: into his Sunday -hoe.

Sure- ly they deserve seats among the peers of patience and endurance of all generations. There are no dis- cipline problems for them, no mat- ter where their lots may be cast. Long practise has made them adepts in handling any difficult sit- uation, whether it be school chil- dren, parents, practise teachers, or perhaps sister critics and supervisors. A critic teacher ' s humor has been perfected by constant use. for it certainly takes a vast amount of it. either natural or acquired, to understand the whys and wherefores of a student teacher ' s methi d. I ' ractise-leachers-to-be need never fear that they will lack her sympathy — and in the super- lative degree. No one is m re expert at finding en- couragement when there is really none to offer; no one is mi skilled in taking the sharp edge off bitter truths. She is efficient and orderly ; affairs slide smoothly with her. as they will with us if we but learn of her. Dignity is her forte, and versatility her charm.

Warren EDITORIAL THE EXTENSION OF OUR MAGAZINE SERVICE Iii the belief that the extension of the servi ce hitherto offered through the quarterly bulletin published under the auspices of the State Normal School at Harrisonburg will meet with the same cordial response other en- terprises of the school have been ac- corded, the faculty of this institution has decided to issue a monthly maga- zine of immediate appeal and perti- nency to both teachers in service and teachers in preparation. The general purpose of this new publication, which begins with this number, under the title of the Vir- ginia teacher, wall be to keep its read- ers in intelligent touch with the best that is thought and accomplished in the educational world, especially as it applies to the problems of our state. In each issue there will be two or three general articles of prime inter- est to those who are trying to make the most of their chosen field; edito- rial discussion and comment on move- ments, achiev ements, and issues bear- ing upon the welfare of our schools; educational news of national import; reviews and book guides dealing with the most significant of the current ed- ucational publications ; abstracts of feature articles of interest to teachers from the current magazines; corre- spondence dealing with vital educa- tional problems; practical sugges- tions from training school authori- ties; and a rich variety of news and notes from the school and its alumnae. Not only, however, will effort be made to present a publication of high pro- fessional character in content, but no detail of the printer ' s art will be omit- ted to make it mechanically the equal of any professional periodical now be- fore the public. Every one who at any time has been connected with the State Normal School at Harrisonburg will, of course, wish to have the publication complete with this number. As the surest means of keeping all the stu- dents of the school, those formerly in attendance as well as those now in training, in complete touch with each other and with the plans and activ- ities of their school, a very decided ex- tension of the personal side is planned for the magazine. It can not, there- fore, be too urgently impressed upon all former students of the school that this will be their means of keeping in touch with their ahna mater, as well as an especially agreeable way of be- coming well posted as to the vital things in educational matters .in this state. It should, however, be defi- nitely understood that the maga- zine will attempt to fill the re- quirements of a high-class pro- fessional publication devoted to the best interests of the schools of the state, to which it dedicatee its being.

Hands like Sarah Wilson ' s, Feet like Olive Magruder ' s. i The following ancient manuscript, just unearthed, seems to imply that frolicking was not unknown, even early in the past decade.) On Friday evening — there being, for a rarity, no program booked for instruc- tion ,,r entertainment at the N ' ormal I School — the girls gathered in the gym- j nasium and held a mock trial. Miss Mackey as judge was very imposing, I wearing a white wig and a countenance sternly marked with lines of gravity and | burnt cork. Besides the prisoners at the bar, there were witnesses, jurymen, fainting sympathizers, and many others deeply interested. ■ The crime alleged was that of mouse- murder. The phillipic of the Common- wealth ' s attorney against woman ' s in- humanity to the wee dead beastie more than offset the plea of self-defense urged by the counsel for the prisoners, though this plea was supported by tan- gible evidence in the form of a hand- kerchief gnawed to rags and by heart- rending accounts of other rodent rav- ages upon dresses, lingerie, crackers, fruit-cake, and even upon cherished love letters. There was a report that the jury was hung. The prisoners caught the word and apparently suffered much un- der the distressing misapprehension that the term applied to their own fate. The verdict finally brought in was Guilty. and the sentence pronounced was lifelong mathematics, canned toma- toes, and practise teaching.

THE NOTEBOOK The Notebook EDITED BY THE ANNUAL STAFF Entered at H. N. S. as First-Class Mail EDITORIAL No edition of the annual would be complete without a space devoted to The Notebook. As you open your daily notebooks and find therein jumblings of things — odds and ends — so you will also discover therein things that have no place elsewhere. Moreover, even the greatest things and the greatest people have been too individualistic, have stood out in the world as too unique to be pigeon-holed. Likewise, many of our most cherished editorial possessions, peerless thoughts, have fallen into this miscellany, The Notebook. There is a pleasant little diversion at H. N. S. that has never had its full praise. The game of Gossip and Rumor on our campus has never had its proper space, for do we not often grow pale with appreciation of the spice and va- riety it brings into our life? It was only yesterday that Jackson Hall was choked with mumps cases, but today there are only four in the infirmary. It is not often that a thing like that can be accomplished over night. And oh, the nice time Gossip had when two of our practise teachers hit a telegraph pole with a Ford and knocked it cold for hours ! But the climax of Rumor ' s season was while we shivered in quaran- tine, fearing the flu — that preventive medicine affair. For days we tasted imaginary doses in stewed fruit, in soup, in ever ything, while Rumor exe- cuted a jolly little jig on the bottle. It was with some slight difficulty that Common Sense — intruding, as always — broke up the nice party. Seriously, it is only when the feminine world thus falls sheep-like into Gossip ' s traps that we lielieve in evolution; and moreover, we are forced to conclude that the race had a delayed stay in the sheep stage. When Dreams Come True THE BEGINNING OF A PERFECT DAY Miss Lyons, Miss L-y-o-n-s, will you please tell me the time? yelled Ruth through the transom, as she poked her head out from under the cover. Yes, dearie, it ' s eight o ' clock. You only have an hour to get dressed for breakfast. I ' ll come in and pull down your window. There goes the breakfast bell, and my room is all cleaned up. Oh, that re- minds me, today is Thursday ; I ' ll have to put out my towels. Miss Lyons, I can ' t find two of my towels. Oh, that ' s all right. Don ' t worry about it, I remember my own young days ; girls will be girls. AT THE BREAKFAST TABLE No, thank you, Maria, I don ' t care for any more waffles. Yes, I believe I do want another egg and some more ham. AT THE MAIL-BOX Six letters ! Oh, gee ! and four pack- ages. Somebody come help me carry these to my room. IN SPECIAL ENGLISH CLASS Miss Cleveland, I declare I ' ve for- gotten my Woolley. That ' s perfectly all right. Bring it next time if you happen to remember it. I think I shall play a little piece on the victrola for you today. DINNER TIME Oh, joy! we have soup today. This is the first I ' ve had since I left home last fall ; but I do wish we could have some other dessert; I ' m so tired of having ice-cream every day. MISS LANCASTER ' S ONLY ANNOUNCEMENT Girls, we shall have a dance in the auditorium tomorrow night from eight to half-past twelve. I hope you will all try to go ; but no girl can have more than four boys. MISS McGUIRE ANNOUNCES This afternoon you may obtain from the supply room, free of charge, tacks to put up your pictures and pennants ; and I want all the tacks in the walls to be the same size. IN THE AFTERNOON, OVER THE TELEPHONE Yes, Tom, I can go riding. To the Kavanaugh for supper? Sure, I ' ll go. A chaperon? Why, we never take them. Miss Lancaster has perfect faith in us, and in you. COMING IN AT 11 :00 P. M. Thank goodness I don ' t have a class until ten o ' clock in the morning; so I can sleep till then. — Louise Coleman ALL IN ONE DAY Miss Mackey got to breakfast on time. Miss Bell uttered a harsh word. Mr. Duke failed to mention the flu. Dr. Converse wore a black neck-tie. Miss Cleveland wore a split skirt. Mr. Chappelear frowned. Dr. Wayland upbraided our girls.

JEALOUSY A tiny maid was she, But beautiful to see : Her hair was shining gold ; Her hands one loved to hold ; Her mouth was made to kiss — A chance no one would miss.

THE NOTEBOOK An Ab-Normal Romance A Bounty maid ms strolling alone down one of the RoatS in the bottom before the old Slant Ttmplt. The air was Bland, the silvery Moon was mak- ing the Waybright before her. ami a nl in the distance. Slowly the Stxton tolled the B W; but our heroine paid no attention, for she was dream- ing of the Prince who should one day Rome in her heart. Would he be some famous Painter, who might use her as his fair model ' some eloquent Bishop, inspired by her presence? or only some humble Sadler] Draper, Fisher, Por- tsltr, or Miller? Perhaps he might even be the Carpenter, the Baker, with his Potts and pans, or the village Smith, with his ringing Hammer. It mattered not whether he should prove to be Rich or poor, provided he be Tinder and true. Perhaps, after all, there would be no l ' rinee. and it would be her Payne-i l fate to Tieche in the village school. Unseen by the maid, a young Camper named Arthur Campbell kept Tabb on all her movements, and was now gazing ardently upon her as -she stood in the White light. Tearing a Littlepagc From his Brown notebook, he summoned his Muse and, hoping to make a Hitt thereby, wrote to her a brief Lay. Wilt Reed ' he said, and dropped it at her feet. She Redd. Then, drawing herself to her full height, she gave him one Cole glance from eyes that could Pierce like Steele and said icily, Will you be Good enough to leave these grounds at once? Or shall 1 call the Gardener to escort you to the entrance? Without Moure ado he turned Round, Ureze out his Elgin watch, and made a hasty exit, proving himself a Swift Walker. As he passed out between the Stone pillars at the gateway, a Parrott screamed above him, Get out, get out, you Spoonerl I Sow-yerl Can You Imagine Doctor Converse without an an- | nouncement? Mr. Johnston singing a solo in chapel? Mr. Logan in a salt-and-pepper check- ed suit? Dr. Gifford without a reaction ? Miss Wilson with disheveled locks? Mrs. McMichael with straight hair? Dr. Firebaugh with a wig? Miss Anthony without her string of beads? How to Throw Off a Senior Write-Up Did you really help t make The S( H ' ioima ' am : I admitted as much. Did you make up BD] I tho e funny things about the girls? Well — cr — yes — that is, some of them. My small sister looked at me fixedly as if seeing me for the first time. She even gazed intently at my shoes, as if they, too, should assume a different ap- pearance in the light of her discovery of my literary abilities. How could yon ever think of some- thing new for every girl? There must be about a hundred of them. If ideas gave out, we might say. To know her is to love her ' ; or, ' Best wishes to you, Old Pal ' ; or better still, ' We foresee that you will climb to the highest rung of the teaching profes- sion. ' Woul d all of that be true about peo- ple ' s loving them and everything? In most cases; in most cases. You had to know every girl in school, didn ' t you? You see, several members of the staff would get together and talk it over. Occasionally there would be some dis- sension. I don ' t reckon I had better go to school there. Nobody has anything wrong with them. Have they? W-e-1-1 . Did you ever write up a girl all by yourself, just like you have been telling me? Of course. I didn ' t think it necessary to add that it was rejected by the editor-in-chief. — Marion N ' esbitt A Normal Conception of Judgment The Recording Angel sat on his throne And shuffled the records well ; By the Normal Curve he dealt the fates — Spake coolly of heaven and hell.

When all tin- world is young, lad. Ami all the trees arc green, When ever) i;...isr ' s .1 swan, lad, And ever) lass a queen. Fatty was dreaming again, day dream- ing. A kick aroused him. Fatty, growled Red Tom, Mike and nit ' s off to rustle some grub. Come along wit yer. Now, Fatty wa never averse to eating — but neither was he averse to dreaming. They meant oblivion, these dreams of his. So lie took out his last two bits. which he had been saving for such an emergency — or, in plainer word.-., for such a fit of laziness. Here, Red — that ' ll be my share this here time. and so lapsed back into his semi-coma dream-state. Messieurs, behold a hobo who dreams. He had the habit of remem- bering that dim past of days spent in school before he ran away, of books he had loved — wonder-lore of knightly life; and he recalled with a yet- burning spark his ambition to be a knight. You think it queer? Ah, but it was only natural that he should dream of knights, since he was a knight him- self — of the road, to be sure, but that is a knight of a sort. For it was true of Fatty also That from the tyme that he first bigan To riden out, he lovede chyvalrye . And so he had dreamed of lords and ladies fair — and of jousts and tourneys — and still did. But mostly he dreamed of damsels in distress — of rescues — al- ways the rescues, Messieurs — from dangerous places and distressing posi- tions. Always he rode a white charger, and always upon a wave of his jewel- studded sword the villains disappeared. Always the close-up registered Fatty, hand over heart and in a deep bow, re- ceiving the thanks of these fair damsels with golden hair. More often he, gently but firmly, had to refuse the offers of their lily-white hands, which they grate- fully thrust upon him. He told them he awaited the advent of his one true mate. — He thought of her as one whose hair was still more golden, as yellow as is the yellow broom (only he didn ' t say it that way). Xow he smiled and dreamed anew . This time it was pure ecstasy, as it was she — his dream-maiden — whom he res- cued. It was over. The mouse had fled. He knelt to receive her thanks. My poor knight-errant ! His vision was so real to him, and he felt it so strongly, that he instinctivelv arose and knelt — one knee planted in the ashy remains of the dinner lire. his hand on thai part of his anatomy which he deemed his heart when he heard a smothered Ohl and looked up. There she was, Ins maiden oi the fair hair (not even Elaine could have let down such a flood of molten gold). She wa-. mired in the bog. and she was look- ing woe-begonely at her dainty feel — or at the place where the) had sunk. (The adjective is Fatty ' s; had he but known it. she wore number fives I) My heroine ' s O had been occa- sioned by that sudden appearance of Fatty from behind a bush to assume the kneeling pose just described. You and I would have ohed too. She now put her finger into her mouth. (I hate to tell this on her, but I have known girls who always express their astonishment or any other emotion thusly.) Our hero, to relieve what he deemed her embarrassment, exclaimed, Fear not. O maiden! will save you. What will you have me do? And his maiden removed her fin- ger and in a slightly reproving tone said. Why. I seem to be mired. And then she giggled. Fatty giggled ecstatically back. Then this Sir W : alter Raleigh removed the cerise and purple handkerchief from i his breast pocket (you never know what sacrifices a man will make for a woman in distress), placed it for her to step on, seized her hand., gave a grunt, and pulled her out. She raised her eyes coyly — it was the psychological moment — her lily hand still lay in his grimy one. Only the white charger and the sword were missing. Wait — a voice! Messieurs, the villain ! A tortoise- shell-glassed youth — a fop with a cane! And oh ! his effect on our heroine ! At his first word she jerked her hand from Fatty ' s : she put her finger into her mouth; she turned and followed this varlet down the path without a word — of thanks or otherwise. Some women are like that. Poor Fatty! Sad that she could not see the true knight under the disguise, as do you and I ! Some hours later loud snores issued from the same vicinity ! Fatty had eaten his sausage supper. He was asleep. ( I hate to tell this on him, but it is easy to forget anything, provided the atmosphere is right.) He had remem- bered the other golden-haired damsels I that he had aforetime turned away; I and once more all was right with the world. — N ' ella Roark. Mail Time at H. N. S.

Got one Inter this week, anyway. Miss Lancaster, want me to get your mail? asked Gertrude, not having any of her own. She quickly appeared again to find out the combination. She dis- appeared, but finally reappeared handing Mis s Lancaster her mail, while some yelled at her, Gertrude Bowler, come back here and apologize for the three times you ' ve stepped on my toe 1 1 Oh, I passed, I passed, I passed on everything!

Advance announcements of the game had included arrangements as to the score, the faculty team insisting that they were going to make a goal 1 But their wildest hopes were exceeded when, by a combination of alacrity, agility, and precision, not one, not two, but three goals were scored from the field. With characteristic courtesy, Mrs. Johnston and Miss Hoffman, forwards, and Miss Mackey, center, took turns in the performance of this pleasant ges- ture. Thus certainly the real, if not the nominal, victory was the faculty ' s, and the satisfaction in the achievement was general. True, the score tallied six points for the faculty against twenty-one for the varsity — but then what else could be ex- pected from the varsity? Fats vs. Skinnies Rah! Rah! Rah! Fats! Ray ! Ray ! Skinnies I Here they come ! Here they come ! So yelled the enthusiastic rooters from the side lines. The door opened, and one of the stars of the evening appeared. Miss Clarice Smith. She tripped daintily across the floor and took her place beside her op- ponent. Miss Gladys Nichols. The next two players made a remarkably hand- some couple, Miss Martha Thompson and Miss Sarah Wilson, the breadth of one over-balancing the height of the other. The loyal sympathizers of the skin- nies became secretly alarmed when they looked at those heavy weights and re- alized what their own players were up against. It was needless. The game was a tussle from start to finish, hav- ing the characteristics of football. What the fats lacked in good shoot- ing they surely made up in passing; for every time Miss Wilson received the ball, she threw it straight up into the air, evidently thinking that by some magical power it would land in the basket. However, the skinnies dropped the ball in more times than the fats — so won the game. As the victorious skinnies and the limping fatties marched off the floor, the crowd marveled greatly at the grandstand playing which they had per- formed on the night of their debut. The Old Oaken Boardwalk How dear to this heart is the old oaken boardwalk, When fond retrospection presents it to view ; The hairpins, the gumdrops, the nail heads outsticking Of ever} ' old board which in ' fourteen I knew. The uneven gray boards and the step that xvould wobble, The cracks and the place that just would not stay fast, The turns and the corners, the bumps and the knotholes — Oh, relief to step down on the pave- ment at last ! The old crooked boardwalk, the weath- er-grayed boardwalk. The boardwalk I ' ve trod many times in the past. That old bumpy boardwalk we loved then most dearly, For often at night, when our day ' s work was done, To town and the movies it bore us in triumph. To town and the movies for laughter and fun. But now it is gone from its old, tried position — In its place a proud pavement; but never, I ween, Will that pavement be loved, though it lie there for ages, As we loved that old boardwalk, we girls of ' fourteen. The old crooked boardwalk, the weath- er-grayed boardwalk, The boardwalk that leads to the land of Hath-Been. — Florence Allen (Editorial fetatf Ci)c fecfjoolma ' am a?otto Tlii wee l it heap o ' leaves an ' - 1 i 1 I 1 ■ lias cost iij monie a weary nibble.

It was as a very timid girl that she made • her first bashful curtsy a decade ago. Even today she would not boast of her age ; but shall she not claim that she is now settled in life? At least she has grown very do- mestic of late — has gone to housekeeping and is sole proprietor of a sewing machine. Yes; it was during Thrift Week that, with Mr. Duke ' s strong aid, she came to own a home — in the little brick wing of the Cot- tage. And that same week she bought herself a sewing machine — an investment from which the rent accruing hour by hour is to be to her a perennial stream of wealth. She has also a cupboard and a trunk (both borrowed), in which she is able, under lock and key, to keep the secrets which are to astound the reading world as June comes round from year to year. These and other loans — cuts from Mas- sanutten Academy, for instance — remind her that, after all. her chief assets are her friends, old and new. Tonight, looking backward in the lull when the last page but one is gone to the printer and the proof has not begun to come in, it is of the old friends especially that she is thinking — those who for so long stood by her and helped her. heart and hand. Surely Miss Sale will respect her the more for the sewing machine enterprise; and Miss Gregg, from her exalted position on the State Board, will still look back with kindly interest. The Schoolma ' am could not bear to be forgotten by dear Dr. Sanger or Miss Godfrey, who loves ;i joke, or Miss Corbett. who loves all beautiful things. And, Miss Hudson. Will ye ii ' come hack again, and give to our plays and operettas that touch of finish and power which always raised the funds needed in order to face the publisher? To all these, and to others.
