' Qi(l l irginian ' Rules ECAUSE of the terrible afflictions and ordeals we have suffered at the hands of those awful tyrants, the Faculty and Home Depart- ment, and out of consideration of those who are to come within the realms of torture, discomfort, and uneasiness of conscience, we deem it only just and right to hand down to the future generation of green- horns the following rules and regulations. If they obey them strictly they may bask in the warm sunshine of Faculty approval; if not, the hard hand of Fate will bear upon them. I. iRuIc0 30 to Cla0srooms 1. If you know nothing about your lesson, look wise. ' Tis easier to look wise than to act wisdom. 2. When the teacher becomes boring, there is always diversion in trying fortunes on your tablet or playing tit-tat-toe with your next-door neighbor. 3. Find a few familiar expressions and always use them in French class. Greet your teacher with Bon Matin, Mademoiselle, and depart with Au revoir, and she ' ll think you know it all. Advice: Never depend on the French you learned at school to tell you what train to take when looking at a French time-table abroad — you ' ll be sure to miss it. 4. If you know how a begins in Hygiene, start it, and make up the rest; only talk, keep on talking — the teachers give a great deal of credit for bluff 5. If you are in a music class and can ' t carry a tune in a basket, open your mouth and punch your neighbor; the result will he much easier on your audience. II. Rule0 i0ccUancou0 1. Don ' t try to lift your radiator to sweep under it; it is too heavy. When you get ready to sell it, get Uncle Robert to move it for you. 2. Never walk single file downtown; go six abreast, so the citizens of Farmville will know that we own the town. 21 ' fl Wirginiaxi 3. If soup IS served for dinner, always make a gurgling sound when eating. It shows training at home. 4. If you spill coffee on the cloth, butter a piece of bread and accidentally let it fall on the spot, buttered side down, so it will stick good. No one will ever see the spot. III. Rules RegarDing Liliratp 1 . This is a sacred place and must be treated with reverence. 2. First see that the Librarian is seated at the desk and occupied. Then immedi- ately glide into the reading-room, seize all the interesting magazines and sit upon them. 3. There was once a reading-room maintained here, but the object of this room has changed. Now placards are found hanging about containing these words, Talk and the whole room joins you; read and you are in a class by yourself. 4. If you hear a rap from the desk, rap back. gllje ICTir inian THE SAGE BUSH Speda Facuhna A RAMBLER of ihe Gas Plant family, with heavy, hard branches, long spellers, and poisonous bark.

And behold, an hundred fourscore and ten of the children of Av arose and journeyed hence. And when they had come into the land, they and all their worldly goods, they rested for a time and began to spy out the coun- try about them. And they said among themselves, Behold the land of Lamron. Is it not a goodly place, for here we may find rest from our labors, free from those who did urge us on our journey? And they pitched their tents in Lamron. Now, the inhabitants of Lamron had settled themselves in the plains and in the more goodly territory, so that the strangers within their gates must needs abide in the hilly regions. Then Namraj, the King, gathered together all that had journeyed to his kingdom. And when they were all come he stood before them and spake unto them, saying: It is fitting that I should give unto you a name by which you shall be known among my people. Henceforth you shall be called the tribe of Sroinuj, which is, being inter- preted, the ijounger, because you come but now into a new country. I do beseech you, oh, tribe of Sroinuj, that you waste not your time m idleness, neither spend your father ' s substance in riotous living. Arise, and get you to some trade. Choose you what course you will pursue. And straightway, when they had chosen, they set to work each to his appointed task. 24 6 c lUirgmian ' And it came to pass in the eighth month of the sojourn in Lamron, when they had defeated the giant called Math, and had cast from them the Spirit of Idleness, that the rulers of the land assembled themselves together and said unto the tribe of Sroinuj : Forasmuch as your work has been well pleasing in the sight of Namraj, and in the sight of the rulers of this country, and that thou hast kept the statutes which we have given unto you, we will give unto you now a new name as a sign of our good favor. You shall be caller Sroines, the older, the mature. And the hearts of the people were filled with rejoicing. In a few days, it being decreed that they should return again to the land from which they had come, each set out to find his own home. And when, in due season, the summer was gone and winter was again upon them, behold they did betake themselves back again to Lamron. But when they had assembled themselves together, they saw that out of the multi- tude who had departed there had returned only an hundred and thirty and six. Nevertheless, they straightway set to work, and they said one to another: Let us choose from our midst a leader, one who shall guide us on through our sojourn here. And when they had cast lots, behold the one who stood before them was Airam, the same who had been the leader of the tribe of Sroinuj. Now there was great rejoicing among the Sroines, and with one accord they cried, We have chosen wisely. It came to pass that about this time another tribe of Sroinuj had invaded Lamron, and immediately the sound of battle was heard throughout the land. Now, the number of this tribe was an hundred and fourscore and seven, and the Sroines were in number an hundred and twoscore and twelve, so that the hearts of the tribe of Sroinuj waxed exceedingly bold, and lo, they went forth to give battle. Howbeit, in the midst of the battle their confidence did waver, their pride was shaken, and there was great sorrowing in the hearts of the Sroinuj. And that same day there was added unto the ranks of the Sroines another, whose name was Renyoc, the same who had many times led the battle-cry of this people. Now, it happened that Renyoc was an interpreter of dreams, and straightway the Sroines did beseech him that he should explain for them their dreams. But Renyoc declined, for he was a man of few words and exceeding modest. And from henceforth peace reigned in Lamron. So the time passed quickly, until Namraj again said unto them: Get you back to the land from which you have come, but when you have rested there seven days, return unto me. And immediately they did as they were bidden, and when they returned, lo, they had clothed themselves in fine raiment. Sr c lIFir inian ' And straightway the other tribes were filled with envy and some spake out their jealousy, saying: Let us also journey to Emoh. But the others restrained them, saying, Tarry awhile; the time is not yet come. And yet again Namraj assembled before him his chosen tribe and he gave unto each a parchment, saying: This give I unto you that all men may know of your good deeds in the land of Lamron. Now get you out into every part of Av and teach the people that which I and my people have shown unto you. As they departed some were loud with rejoicing, but others hung their heads, and tears came up and blinded them. And from henceforth they dwelt no more in Lamron. Now, the rest of the acts of the Sroines and the mighty works that they did, behold, are they not written in the second book of the Chronicles of the Children of Lamron? — which is, being interpreted.

You see. Marguerite must be natural. But look at the word ArchaMBAULT and blame it on thai! Besides being quite lalcnted in art, and known for her drawings, she sings, acts, and has command of — a most wonderful vocabulary, and, conse- quently, a Pen. In fact, her friends are trying to persuade her lo run a race with the honorable Daniel Webster, but her only answer is, You Mephislophelian wretch, I ' d rather take a header into the blu e empyrean of oblivion. DOROTHY ' AVERY CJDoT has a capacity for looking wise. and we have found that she really nose a lot. Every one except the librarian appreciates Dot ' s voice. When she is not running errands for Miss Rohr she IS sleeping. She is always ready to go down- town, and she is so kind hearted that she never likes to worry the Home Department enough to get pern lission. She always goes to bed at ten o ' clock, except when she n.ghtly calls on Permelia across the hall. GEORGE BAILEY that I CJNot GeORCIe, if you please, because that makes her perfectly furious! However, it is her nature never to remam angry very long. Although she is frequently overcome by fanciful freaks of her imagination, that often verge on driving the Home De- partment to distraction, she is a delightful poet. She is not a bit dreamy; rather nighlmarcv. Like the ideal, true poet, she is a lover of Mother Nature, ' and spends a good part of her time conning with the dear old Dame when not on the campus. 29 S c lITir inian ' LUCILLE BALDWIN qBm for Lucille foot of his cl age height; in fact, she stands ab is not yet out of her teens, shi you might think.

MARY MOYLAN BANKS Once long ago, during the days of her youthful existence, MoylaN heard that a certain wise man .had said, Much study is a weariness of the flesh! — and she has never disputed the truth of the maxim. But she hasn ' t needed to — her brains came to her rescue upon every necessary occasion to save the day and her reputation as some stude. Then, too, she is one of the basket-ball stars of whom the Seniors may well be proud. So it is easy to deduce that she is a generally all-round kind of a damsel, and she is, too, thoroughly attractrve and a jolly good fellow! 30 ' (l i 1{Fir inian ' REBECCA BANKS •JSmall of stature, dark of complexion and eyes, but bright and radiant in smiles and happiness is our Rebecca. Come what may. she smiles — even through tears. Never did one little body contam so much life, conscience, thought, knowledge, enthusi- asm, and mischief. X ' hen Philosophy is mentioned, however, the mischief-making eyes light up, then take on a serious look, and Rebecca is ready for a good argument. Regardless of what the world may think, she has opinions of her own, and she will stand up for them, too. She is always in a hurry; she is never known to walk, but runs for everything— knowledge as well as material things. DOROTHY BATTEN II Dot, also known as Pumps, is the companion piece to Shoes. When first seen at S. N. S. it was always a question of which is Shoes and which is Pumps; but then we often get our shoes on the wrong foot. Please tell us what are your study hours. Dot, for if you ' re not downtown you ' re loafing in the hall, and if you are not in the hall you ' re in Wade ' s, and if you ' re not in Wade ' s — well, you ' re walking with Shoes. I just believe you ' re naturally bright, and you really display quite an amount of boss sense. FLORENCE BATTLE fl Florence has a Nature Study craze, much to the surprise of her classmates. Most girls don ' t like to take such long walks and fool with grasshoppers and all kinds of insects, but Florence does. She follows Miss Blackiston cheerfully over hill and dale, over and under barb-wire fences, wades through rivers and climbs trees. Her only regret is that Little Hatlie can ' t be with her. Florence is quiet, but always ready for a joke and a good lime. The Stoney Way is her only dread for the rest of her life. 31 gJT c lIFir inian PHYLLIS BAYLEY I Gish came lo us last year from Lawrencevllle and acquired fame immedialely, for she roomed on Infirmary Hall.

And just as regularly as she rings the bell, Mrs. Slater has to hunt until she finds her hiding in somebody ' s clothespress, or resting com- fo.lably on the air between the bed and the wall.

Her love and under- standing of little children makes her especially fitted for the kindergarten work she has chosen. Her playing and her deep love and appreciation of music show that she has the true musician ' s soul. Crispin likes to peer into the future. By means of cards or the palm, she reads your fate like a veritable little gypsy. She is very small. According to Crispin, might does not lie in height. ' fl i Wirginlan MARTHA BILL f Martha is a fickle heart winner. The saying is thai once she wins a heart she cares no more for it, and several girls almost decided to leave school because she would not return iheir love. Almost— we said — for instead they stayed and helped circulate the report that Martha is fickle and too inde- pendent. Still, she is a good sort of girl, and would shine in academic work, if she could be made to realize that Domestic Science is not the only thing here worth while. A d.

Really, she isn ' t so big as she used to be, because she lost Iwo pounds while she was leaching in the Training School. She is good natured, as all of us know, and she has an extra picture in the Annual to prove il. She can sing, too, and is one of the leaders in the Glee Club. Her favorite class is gym, because she thinks that probably she may fall off a little if she takes regularly. Of all the popular songs she thinks Annie Laurie is the most beautiful, singing it all the time, and living with it by her side. LEE BROOKS qShe has grown with the school. She came to us as an eighth- grade one, and now you can see how students can bluff. She ' s a Senior— a dreamer. Yes, life to her is an ideal dream. It is easier, though, to get an interview with Woodrow Wilson than to get her attention when dreaming. When once she awakes from these dreams all is bright and sunny, for she is very fond of a good time. She is rather slow, loo, in making her friends, but when once gained she is ever true and loyal to them. Regardless of these qualities, we are sure she will make an excellent pedagogue and labor diligently for the cause. 34 STfjc lITir inian ' MARIE BROWN I BoAz hal Eating is her without Pear especially cone and she has the mildest ■ bright and f occupation, She ,s a nerry from the Magic City, and she ' s hardly ever seen Crank on many subjects, !0AZ is always ready to help. and the gentlest heart.

On the other hand, there is a side to MollVe ' s nature that desires ex pression in other fields than those purely academic. She dotes on a back seat in class, and has exhibited rare talent and skill for drawing hearts on the desk during Psychological discussions. Nothing gives her more amusement than a long talk on the keeping of a cozy home. Doubtless she will some day acquire her heart ' s desire, for she has more than one bachelor brother.

On becoming a Senior she has comprehended the significance of the term by assuming quite a grown-up air. No longer does she bemoan that she can ' t get the hang of the thing. Strange to relate, she has a wonderful interest in the advance- ment of Agriculture. Her knowledge on the subject is marvelous. She can tell you all about the application of capillary attraction to farming; and such things as the formula for Bordeaux Mixture seems to have been a native tendency. The world will yet be shocked with some new theory that she will propound. As further evidence of her interest in the welfare of humanity, she is thoroughly interested in the suffragette movement. Her ambition is to establish a matri- monial bureau for the unappropriated, unadmired, S. N. S. spinsters. PERMELIA DUGGER CJPermelia entered school in 1910 so young that she was stunted in growth. Her good spirits have won her many ad- mirers here, but she does not care much for girls, she says, because she admires strong characters.

N. S. Her ardor may be d as follows: I live a Pierian and die a Pierian. If you should ask her what three things were nearest her heart she would answer, first, the Pierians; second, tennis; and third, latest theories in leaching. You can not blame her for the tennis, since she can win a game over any man in the faculty, nor for her love of latest teaching theories, since her life in the Training School was a bed of roses. Dr. Stone early succumbed to her air of a born teacher, and was heard to remark: I do not know exactly what MlSS Heath is driv- ing at in that lesson, but 1 dare say it is one of the latest theories.

She hails from Southwest ' Virginia near the abode of the Allen outlaws. Now don ' t worry, for she neither resembles an outlaw nor shows any symptoms of developing into one, for you may drop mto her room any Sunday morn- ing and find this good Puritan snugly in bed, with the atmosphere teeming with the suggestion: Don ' t wake me up, for I ' m dreaming; - ' es, dreaming, perhaps, of the laurels she IS to win as a future instructor in some little one-room school, and as a community force. qit IS Sh. ■ as lo 1 the ' she olhi as Mr Clu lb 1 abil lity, ALICE HO ' WISON no easy task to put Alice in a small paragraph: there luch of her.

Occasionally she varied the program by throwing a word of sarcasm at a chance visitor. Or, if one roomed on the hall with Huddle, the picture comes to mind, a rather sleepy-eyed, yet sleepy girl, with a towel on her arm, tooth- brush and cake of soap in her hands, rushing madly to the spigot after the breakfast bell had long since stopped ringing. What we most admire her for is her utter indifference to every single thing. CARRIE IRENE HUDGINS CI In 1909 a Gayle blew a fickle little flirt to S. N.

She delights in long lambles during class-lime while the teachers inquire vainly for Miss Kendrick ; or. if she is ih jusi the right humor for it, thinks it loads of fun to sneak out the windows with six or eight other girls and go lo the movies.

For two years Farmville has been her adopted home, and, some- how or other— no one could ever tell why— we have grown fond of her, and hate lo see her leave. Mary was an extremely childish child before she became a leaching Senior, but that had a wonderful effect on her. You would not believe it, but in the Training School she is really quite grown up and dignified. ISBELL MOORE lSo attractive is her personality, and so dignified is her way of handling it, that it is good to call her friend, and to know that to every one she lends her ear, but to few her voice. You like her because everybody else does, and because she ' s square. To her the troubles of the spinster band are carted, and after each plaintiff has expaciated upon the fickleness of the other sex. there comes the never-failing consolement: Cheer up! All men are animals. That ' s not such a bad term for them, knowing of her strange affection for Kats. There are sundaes and Sundays, but Sunday Night Specials are Isbell ' s pet creations, laden with chocolate and cherries, but. mark you, the whole effect is particularly Green.

If every person you meet is cheerful, looks glad to be alive, in fact, is trying hard to keep off a smile, then Marie has left for S. N. S. Bui then that doesn ' t show that Marie is not all right. It only shows that the population there favors slenderness, while Marie every day grows so much fatter and rounder that they fear she has lost forever that litheness and thinness they so greatly admire. But here we don ' t mind that. In fact, we are so much the other way that she is one of our best girls, and there are few, indeed, of us who are not proud of Marie ' s friendship.

Her worst failing, if it may be so called, is taking the opposite view from others— anything for the sake of an argument. ' RiA has domestic aspirations, made known to us by her use of the Brum. In our dreams we see her a kindergarten teacher in Japan. ELEANOR PARROTT CI In the fall of 1911 S. N. S, received quite a bird named POLLV, coming from V. P. I., where she had acquired much skill in dealing with kiddets. She immediately put in applica- tion for a kindergarten course, and has had no reason to regret it. She has a patent on luck. In the first place, this picture flatters her to death; and then she has learned to bluff exceed- ingly well. By her use of these talents, PoLLV has become quite an expert in playing Rook and other birdish games, and, for some unknown reason, she has made a study of proverbs. She has even invented a new game called Proverbs, but why she has suddenly developed this holy interest is more than we can understand. 59 g f c UTir inian -- - - . ■-V:- ' .::;i-S m fi 1 ■L ' H jj ■■ lT R tI nl Wf •-|| IP 1 v 1 ► M LENA PAULETT I Where are you going, little mi girl replied: I ' m going to S.

She varies from the dignified, indifferent Belva, or Belvidere, to the lovable, carefree, fun-loving Boonie. We are told that if we have sufficient failh we can remove mountains, but can any one remove BelVA after she has duly considered a ques- tion and formed an opinion of her own? We are sure that the faith would have to be exceedingly strong. We are not sure whether BelVA will try for the Marathon Races, the Grand Opera, or staking a claim out West.

The parting notes of a lingering slumber, two half- open eyes, and the wondering voice of Jessie greets you: Is that the six o ' clock bell? To her long string of cases must be added sleep, because she courts the same much as Romeo courted Juliet. In high-class vaudeville and light, melodramatic creations she figures well, her latest cast being Billy Basket- ball in The Sad, Sad Fate of a Schoolgirl Heart. She is very sociable, usually choosing the earliest rational time after light bell to stroll and visit. Sometimes she does not get home until morning, having been unavoidably detained in rooms number- ing from 105 to 18. Study spells to Jessie: Put off until test time the absorptions of necessary ingredients useful for such times only, ' and her motto might well be found in every action: On with the dance, let joy be unconfined.

But we, who have known and loved her for years, have been privileged to see the deeper side of her nature, and know how fully and how perfectly Martha supplements Mary. Martha is capable of true friendship, has noble ideals, and strives to reach them. It was Martha who wrote the pathetic little stories of child life which appeared so often in our school magazine, and it was Martha ' s intellect and application that made the brilliant record MaRY leaves at her alma mater. ti3 Wf e ICTirginian ' MINNIE RIDGWAY fl Minnie is quiet and re She has never been knc SO her most inlimate fnei she Is looking foiward accidentally d;opped now longing for the country of Household Arts. ;erved — thinks much, but speaks little, wn to speak of her private affairs, ids do not know to a certainly what to.

While with us, Bess contracted quite a case on a certain member of the Home Depaitment. and quite frequently this lady, on her rounds over the building, would leave scribbled on a lily-pad a very touching note to her ardent admirer. Notwithstanding the many tears she shed over the Training School, and the long, weary nights she struggled (?) with her numerous studies, she now leaves us to go back to her home town, with the smile of victory on her countenance. 64 S c lIFirginian ' CONSTANCE RUMBOUGH «1 Coming from Lynchburg, as she does, you ' d naturally expect her to be a mighty fine girl, which she is.

A Junior, Stijc ' JUirginian ' T some time in the life of every man, or woman, he is confronted with some task which it is seemingly impossible to accomplish. Such are the feelings of the person upon whom falls the necessity of prophesy- ing the future lives of a large body of classmates. Having meditated at great length upon the most feasible plan for performing this stu- pendous feat, to no avail, I believe — yes, it must be so — I shall resort to the primitive method of foresight, the Taghairm. The goat has been slain and sacrificed, and now I lie out on the verge of the precipice, awaiting the mighty revelation. The ground is dank and cold, the wind blows; and even the stars above seem to look on me with pitying glances. Cold shivers run up and down my spine, my hair stands on end, my teeth chatter, and a feeling of horror fills me. Every- thing is turning black, and I seem to sink down, down Where am I, and what sights are these that meet my gaze? Ah, I am in the realm of the supernatural, and the scenes through which I pass are veiled in mysteries of futurity. I seem to be in some great metropolis, possibly the capital. As I wander through the streets I am confronted by a great stone edifice bearing the title, Seminary for Training the Minds and Morals of Young Ladies. In the principal, a white-haired, stately dame, who comes to the door, I find a personage none other than my former classmate, Bessie Bucher. Among the other members of the Faculty are Dorothy Avery, Gertrude Charlton, Marrow Davis, MolHe Drinkard, and Ethel Cleek. They are instructing girls from the 76 following texts: How to Study Without Mental Exertion, by Moylan Banks and Clairborne Bouldin, and How to Enjoy Life, by Dorothy Batten. Bessie seems overjoyed to see me and directs me to various points of interest to visit in the city. The first of these is the City Hospital. While waiting for the head nurse to come, I shall glance over the paper which is lying by my side. What is all this in black head- lines at the top of the page? New Scientific Law. The Amount of Intellect Con- tained in the Human Bemg Varies Inversely as the Sixth Root of the Containing Body. This Has Been Effectually Proved by Misses Annie and Rebecca Banks. Can it be possible that my former schoolmates have achieved such things! Among other things in the paper, I find that there is a movement on foot to establish an Anti-Grouch League in America. Definite steps towards this end have been taken by Kathleen Cousins, Rachel Beal, and Sallie Hurdle. Its success seems sure since the discovery of the perpetu al smile by Hatlie Hall, Alma Carver, Carrie Galusha, and Mary Dornin. Here is an essay by Lobelia Drinkard on Emphaticness and Firmness, the Chief Essen- tials of Character. The Superintendent is now coming towards me, bringing two nurses who are to conduct me through the building. These are Florence Battle and Hattie Dickey, who, by reason of their quiet manners and cheerful dispositions, have proved to be excellent nurses. They first escort me to the office of the Chief Surgeon, Virginia Davis, who administers laughing gas to morbid patients. Then we proceed on our way, the nurses alternately imparting knowledge concerning our former friends. Martha Bill has chosen Agriculture as her vocation, making a special study of the bean. Grace Dickenson has developed into a philanthropist of world-wide fame; and Kathleen Browning, true to her old impulses of uplifting the suppressed, has joined the Salvation Army. Virgie Fuller and Lee Brooks are starting a movement for the revival of the Latin tongue. By this time we have made the rounds, so I must bid my friends farewell and hie me to the next place of interest, the new orphan asylum. This institution is run under the auspices of Ida Bowles, and the children receive kindergarten instruction from Crispen Berger, Lillian Bugg, and Nancy Johnson, the latter of whom has set forth methods exceeding those of Madame Montessori. My next destination is the Supreme Court. Who is this coming down the street towards me? Why, none other than Nan Gray, just the same as ever. Nan informs me in a modest way that, together with Mary Carnes and Frances Guthrie, she has risen to great heights in the field of Athletics. The other two are seeking still greater things along this line, but on account of heart trouble Nan is going to give up her present vocation and start a series of Chautauqua lectures on Living on Two Minutes of Work Per Year. 77 We now arrive at the business section, where our ways part. What is this large manufacturing establishment with the sign, E. L. Davis, Case Manufacturing ? This proves to be the place which Emmy Lou has established for the purpose of turning out cases — not cardcases, nor bookcases. The next place which attracts me is a large public gymnasium. The middle of this room is occupied by a number of children who are running madly to and fro across the floor. The Heath sisters may be seen directing these exercises, which I learn are lessons in rushing. In a distant corner, twistmg himself into a number of fantastic shapes, is Mr. M. B. Coyner. He is taking exercises for the development of muscle and stature. The next persons whom I encounter are Mary Bruce and Alice Clarke. The former has just published a volume of sentimental poems, while the latter has made new dis- coveries in Domestic Science. Just at this moment an aeroplane passes overhead. In it are seated Marguerite Archambault and Carrie Hudgins on their way to Paris to study the latest thing in styles and flirtations. Just in front of the Congressional Hall is a newly erected statue, the statue of Living Fidelity, whose features are identical with those of Margaret Hiner. Arrived at the court, I find Elizabeth Gildea occupying the chair of the Chief Justice, while among the jury are Lucille Baldwin, Lilly Harmon, and Virginia Field. I do not remain here long, and am soon on my way to the theater. The house being crowded, I am forced to sit in the gallery. However, I do not mind this, and anxiously scan the building in search of familiar faces. On the front row is seated Phyllis Bayley, with her husband, whom she hypnotizes with a Victrola. As might well be expected, she has on a new waist. Among the spectators also are Margaret Helm, now a great Sunday- school worker; Alice Howison, who has gained fame in the business world; and Hazel Grady, who has become proficient in all branches of mental research. Who are these two slender beings in the rear? Surely they are familiar. They are none other than Lynette Brock and Catherine Carter, who have got a patent on flesh-reducing exercises. Can there be any one else whom I know? The curtain rises. The evening ' s program is a higher class of vaudeville. Maria Bristow is chief comedian; Alice Dadmun, Esther Ford, and Ethel Fox are among the chorus girls; while the wits of the evening, Louise Carrington and George Bayley, tell practical jokes. The show is over and I slowly wend my way towards the depot. I must be home by morning. As I go along I pass many, many happy homes in which I spy the following of my classmates who have entered into holy wedlock — Permalia Dugger, Marguerite Heterick, Marie Brown, and Pauline Howard. I arrive just in time to catch the train. 78 W S fjc lITir inian ' What is this commotion going on about me? There are a bride and groom aboard. They are sitting just ahead of me, and as the train pulls out they softly sing that sweet old strain from II Trovatore, Home to Our Mountains. Just as the gentleman hands the conductor two tickets to Cripple Creek I recognize in the lady my old friend, Ruth Gleaves. The train roars and thunders along. How drowsy I feel ! Everything is assuming an appearance of inkiness! Ugh! How cold it is! Where am I? Oh! I remember; it is the Taghairm. The sun is just rising and the earth will soon be astir. How weak and nervous I feel, but ... I have had the revelation. This have I suffered for my classmates.

And, like the splendid stars of gold above. It bore five radiant points. Wondering, Serventus heard a voice speak lo Within your hand you hold the magic star That points the way into the perfect life. The first point bids you follow Purity; The next, seek Beauty, for she lives to tint Things common with her soft-toned glow; Then, following, find Happiness everywhere. And make of her a friend of all most true. The star ' s fourth point says Love. When hi E ' er after keep her spirit in your heart.

She points the When her you win all cruel unrest will cease. As on in flowing cadence came the voice, Serventus bowed his head in reverence.

The giver of all Purity, and Love, makes it rld; way to !ll g gc llfir inian ' And Happiness, and Beauty, and of Peace, Accept my humble thanks, though poor they be; I am the most unworthy one of all To be the keeper of this shining star!

Oh! cried Vivian in dismay as an enterprising elbow sent her books flying from beneath her arm down among the reckless feet ; and she scrambled for them desperately, bringing down upon her defenceless head the wrath of the belated ones, and lifting that same useful attachment just in time to encounter a huge step-ladder which Uncle Robert was painfully (from Vivian ' s standpoint at least) trying to convey through the crowd. At last the books, somewhat the worse for wear, were recovered, and, the crowd seeming to have mysteriously melted away, she rushed on. Oh, not a soul ' s on the hall! I know I ' ll be late! Wait, Vivian, didn ' t you drop this? What a smell handwriting. When did it come? I didn ' t see you get it this morning at the table. Oh, it ' s a special delivery! Why, what on earth? Thanks awfully, Janet, I must run; I know I ' m late. So long, lovey, my love! and she rushed to the door of room 8, but, on finding herself inside, slackened her pace to a leisurely amble and dropped limply into her seat. My, I was scared to a peanut! I thought surely I ' d be late, she gasped, pinning up several strands of hair that had escaped their bondage in the scramble. Vivian, what are you raving about, don ' t you know you can ' t be late to this class? Or the star-course? Or breakfast? Don ' t you think it, I guess Oh! what is that on the board, surely it isn ' t a test? What a relief, it ' s only for that poor Junior Grammar. Well, you might as well kill anybody as Sh-h! there he comes. A lull came in the chatter as the roll was called, and soon the class was deep in the inspection of the Outlook, but Vivian ' s mind was too impervious to earthly sensations to descend to current events, and the Mexicans and copper miners raged on in oblivion. Her hand clasped tightly the square, white envelope, and she frowned darkly as she 115 noted a heel print marnng its snowy surface and partially obliterating the dashing address. She compared this to the careless scrawl on another envelope to the ignominious defeat of the scribbler. And the letter itself — it wasn ' t at all like any letters other people had written her. It was so different in an elusive, indefinable way. It seemed as if the writer had known her intimately. She could hardly realize she had known him but a fortnight — and the first letter meant so much. Why, I never can write as good a letter as that, thought Vivian. What on earth can I write about? My school affairs won ' t interest a doctor of medicine, most of whose time, no doubt, is spent in cutting up people and pulling to pieces horrid skeletons. He never told me about those things, but, of course, he knew I never could care for skeletons. Oh, I might write him about the skeleton we have in hygiene, and how some- body dressed him up in Mr. Eugene ' s coat and hat; and, oh, yes, I might tell him all I ' ve learned about germs and about the house-fly and the awful microbes he carries on his feet, so he never should be allowed to walk barefoot over one ' s food. A stir in the class and a tug at her sleeve aroused her. Wake up, sleepy head! You ' ll have to get a sure enough move on you now. This is no star-course you ' re going to, though they do say it has some educational value. After all the inquiries about the whereabouts of the late comers were made, together with the shameful statement of the number of minutes each one was late, and after some forty individual excuses were demanded to be brought in without fail at the next class time, the recitation proceeded, but Vivian was indifferent even to the allurement of Sociology. This time, however, her estrangement from terra firma was not so complete, for the quick, decisive voice would interrupt her visions. The calling of her name startled her to a reahzation of her surroundings. Miss Mason, what can you tell us about the earlier forms of marriage? Er — a — I — I didn ' t hear the question. Who ' ll tell Miss Mason the question? Well, Miss Mason? Why, I don ' t think they ' re the thing at all! I think the ideal wedding should take place at sunset. Wedd ings in daytime are so unromantic — why, what ' s the matter? I thought you wanted our own individual opinion on social problems. Miss Mason, I don ' t get you. Miss Carter, will you tell us something about the earlier forms of marriage? Vivian sat in rapt attention through the rest of the recitation, and the color had nearly faded from her face when the bell rang. She walked stiffly into hygiene class and composed herself in a dignified manner. 116 ©f2 Virginian ' There! she told the square envelope, you sha ' n ' t hoodoo me this time, because I won ' t think of you — so there, and she placed it firmly in her book. Well, Miss Mason, said the heavy, dehberate voice, will you lend me your book a moment? No letters in it, are there? That ' s the surest sign v.hen they get to carrying letters around in their books. The swift color rushed to Vivian ' s face again, but, determined to be composed, she looked around defiantly only to catch Janet ' s twinkUng eyes fixed on her in unmistakable enjoyment. But, anyhow, it wasn ' t hard to pay attention now, and she would listen carefully and see if she could learn something interesting to write about. The class went forward without interruption except for the repeated trips to the door to let in or out a small spotted dog, who looked as complacent as if he owned the whole school and was proud of it. At the dinner table Vivian still puzzled over her problem, and even the reappear- ance of the bi-weekly mince pie, or Janet ' s teasing remarks and open hints about the letter, were not sufficient to call a protest from her usually observant self. She even forgot to groan as she saw only a newspaper for her mail, and, taking it up, glanced abstractedly over the headlines. Then, turning through the pages to find the social columns, she caught sight of an advertisement and stopped with an exclamation. But, oh! she hadn ' t noticed that a lull had come over the room, and she glanced up to catch the matron ' s eye upon her in grieved astonishment. Vivian ' s eyes fell to the newspaper. Vivian, for the land ' s sake, look around and see the disaster you ' ve wrought. What did you squeal out for? whispered Janet, glancing at the newspaper. I don ' t dare to. I looked once and I never saw such mortification depicted on a human countenance; and company at the Home Department table, too! Even Mrs. Harrison ' s shawl is glowing redder ' in silent sympathy ' . But, oh, joy, she had found a way ! She hurried to her room and read over the advertisement again. This is how it ran: Letters of all kinds written I Terms most reasonable. The best and most correct interpretations given to your thoughts on any subject. Your communications regarded as strictly confidential. Patronize us and your correspondence will become a pleasure, and your correspondents will be charmed. Address Box 410. She would do it ! She took out her paper and hastily wrote a letter. There it was commenced! She dropped the letter in the mail box at the book room with a sigh of relief. Once more assuming the pompous bearing suitable to a Senior she sauntered into i STf e Wirginlan the library to look up a few, at least, of the multitudinous civics references. She hastened to the table, as she saw several others evidently bent on the same errand, and, lifting her foot, came down (alas!) on the fat, squirmy back of Gyp, who, emitting a heart-rending howl, fled, madly rushing against the librarian, who descended on the scene of disorder with the rapidity which only indignation can lend to the limbs; and before Vivian could make the necessary explanations there went the bell, and she didn ' t know a thing about that old lesson. She hurried to the Training School and took her place in class. The professor had not come, and this time the chatter was so insistent that no thought of the topic plan could reach her comprehension. Say, Vivian, weren ' t you at that class meeting this evening. It was the hmit, I just Child, he wrote me a perfect scorcher, I don ' t intend to do a Oh, have you see Grace ' s new dress. It ' s a beauty. Made out of that dainty, pale blue crepe effect, with the dearest They ' re the biggest cases. Why, they are, too. She told me she was simply crazy about her, and they say Why didn ' t you come to nature study to-day? You missed seeing the charming and artistic curves the earthworm can take on — ' and, then, there ' s your spiders ' Sh — sh! he approacheth ! Well, young ladies, you have had five minutes, and how have you spent these five precious minutes? In contemplation of the topic plan? Excellent! That is worth any one ' s five minutes. Vivian peeped furtively between the covers of her book. Yes, it was there. She contemplated the lesson plan. At last, she sighed that night, this day is over, and oh! the scrapes I ' ve gotten into, but how I pity the other girls. How terrible it must be to be so absorbed in material things — with not a touch of romance, and the dreary prospect of endless years of teaching, with your final days being spent with nothing but a cat, a parrot, and a cup of tea to cheer your old age. And then she thought of the letter — she must dream on it to-night — and it was in her civics book. She went to the book shelf and cautiously took down book after book, but none of them felt like the civics book. She strolled over to the table — off went a glass the icy water drenching her feet. Oh, cried Vivian, I ' ll just have to turn on the light, and then she remembered she had left the book in Mildred ' s room when they had gone downtown. She was nearly back to her room when she heard footsteps coming up 118 the stairs, and fled in desperation; but still the footsteps came on, and she jumped wildly beneath the covers as a gentle knock sounded on the door. Good-bye, peanuts, candy, and ice-cream soda now! Two solitary weeks on the campus for mine, she soliloquized as the door opened and Mrs. Sleightor was silhouetted in the light. Are you asleep, Vivian? I thought maybe you ' d like a cracker so I brought you this, and before Vivian could recover herself enough to thank her she was gone. She ' s the dearest thing! thought Vivian as she reached for the letter. What on earth are you up to, Vivian — was that Miss Mary in here? came a sleepy voice at the other side of the room. No; but you are missing something sure enough. Mrs. Sleightor brought me a cracker. Oh, give me a bite. I ' m simply starved. Don ' t throw it, wait. Well, here goes! There, isn ' t that nice? Vivian put her hand under the pillow to make sure of the presence of the letter, and then gradually dropped off to sleep; yes, to sleep and to dream — of corned beef and blackboard borders. It was a lovely June night. The velvety dusk was glittering with a hundred hundred fairy Hght-bearers, and fragrant with the perfume of roses. The white dresses of the girls scattered over the grass shone palely through the darkness and now and then gay laughter rang sweetly on the still air. But this part of the campus was silent save for the occasional stately tread of the policeman on his rounds or the pit-pat of Gyp ' s feet as he made a tour of inspection. The lights cf the great building shone forth brightly, and twinkled when Vivian saw them through a mist of tears, as if to say: Come, now, are you crying? Have we not shone on you many times weeping and pleading homesickness? Each fall we see some with pale faces and swollen eyes, and yet each spring they weep afresh and are sad to say farewell! Dr. Jack seemed to note her change of mood and spoke tenderly: Don ' t take it so hard, V ivian. I know it gives you a terribly knocked-out feeling to know that school days are over. But, then, when the next June is here the roses will bloom over the door of that little bungalow, if you ' d only say what I want you to. Vivian did not answer. She was annoyed with herself that so trivial a thing, and one which heretofore had not occurred to her seriously, should worry her now — at this of all times! Why hadn ' t she written her own letters? She couldn ' t deceive him now, and yet it was so provoking to have to tell. As if in answer to her thoughts. Dr. Jack pulled something from his pocket and held it toward her. Do you know what this is, Vivian? He put a small, rather worn-looking envelope into her hand. The letter was written on dainty linen, and the handwriting was vaguely familiar. Why, what is it? It is your first letter to me, and I have always carried it over my heart. Vivian ' s heart sank in dismay. I ' ll never forget your first letter, she faltered. I knew I could never write one as good. My first letter? Well, I never did! What The bell clanged forth and, rising, they made their way slowly in with the merry crowd of visitors and girls. Vivian felt vaguely troubled. Something seemed to have come between her and Dr. Jack in their happiest moment. They took their seats in the auditorium. Dr. Jack seemed abstracted, and they sat silent while the people slowly assembled. Oh, they are going to show the projectoscope, said Vivian, and, glad of a topic for conversation, she told all about the gift the Seniors had presented to the school. She explained minutely the system of graphs and how it was being used in the schools to-day as the most efficient means of testing the progress of education and of meeting the needs of the individual. But Dr. Bluff had a surprise. I thought maybe you might like to see some other phase of our school activities, and so I am going to show some of the various and sundry things that our Normal School girls busy themselves with in their precious moments. Now, first, I ' m going to share a little joke with you, and show you one of the secret business organizations of the students, but this isn ' t a practical joke, nor is it really a joke, though you may smile. The partners in this so-called company have dissolved the business and applied themselves now to the problems of their future schools. I am going to show you an advertisement that I saw in a newspaper. I thought it a very unusual and interesting variety, and so I traced it up to see what it really was, and found to my surprise and gratification that some of our girls had been carrying on a very good and profitable business. All right! The clipping was shown on the screen, and Vivian and Dr. Jack gasped simultaneously. Vivian, do you know those girls? said Jack excitedly. Vivian hesitated. 120 You don ' t mean to say you ' ve let this go on all the time without saying a word. Why, Jack, I never thought it would really make any difference. Not make any difference? Why, maybe it won ' t, but it seems to me you might have told me sooner. Why, I was going to tell you, but I didn ' t want to tell you right in the midst of our correspondence. It would have been absurd! Yes, but it surely makes me feel funny to know that you kept so mum about it. Why, Jack, I don ' t see why you should feel that way at all. I can write a letter myself if I choose. I have at least learned Jack ' s hearty laugh drowned out her voice and sent a rustle of astonished disapproval over the audience. Jack, what on earth is the matter? Miss C is right behind us, and she ' ll be scandahzed. I can ' t help it, gasped Jack; it ' s funny! It evidently is, but what is it? Why, don ' t you see, they wrote mine too. That ' s the reason I felt so foolish to think you ' d known about it all along and hadn ' t told — and here you were in it too, and Jack went into another paroxysm. Well, of all things, laughed Vivian, and to think that Janet knew it all. Well, three cheers for Janet; but isn ' t it funny? M. B. F. APRIL Sweet April, fairest daughter of the year, Comes tripping lightly through the woodland bowers. This maiden, in her many changing moods. With smiles or tears, delights the passing hours. Fair April weeps — the woods too dreary seem — Like pearls her warm tears fall; she breathes a sigh. To find the cause, a tiny blade peeps up; She sees, she smiles, a rainbow spans the sky. The tears like jewels to her lashes cling; Her rosy, dimpled mouth is wreathed with smiles; Springing from the sunshine of her mouth, A golden glory lights the woodland aisles. Spring ' s fragile blossoms shed their fragrance now; A violet bed yields nectar to the bee; Now fair Narcissus breathes his spicy breath. And sweetest Echo dances o ' er the lea. Marcarf-t R.

Stifling this desire, I went over and seated myself in the window. Outside, the old scenes — the green campus, the shrubs budding forth with spring, the oft-trod walks — gradually these scenes, grown so famihar through these months, faded away and in their place I saw the old, familiar wharf. I could almost feel the boat rocking and the jar that comes when she bumps the landing. My heart thrilled and I rushed down the steps, glad — oh, so glad, to be home again. The porter called, Baggage! Arlington Hotel! James- town Hotel! But never a hotel for me — it was home, home I wanted. Unmindful of all the din, I rushed out onto the street, my very blood bubbling all over with the pure joy of living. The steep climb up the wharf hill did not in the least affect my joyfulness, and I turned the corner down the old familiar Church Street with a heart of thankfulness to the Heavenly Father for sparing me yet again to tread these old familiar walks. The same peacefulness and quiet that endears S to every one — the same big, old shade trees, the same houses — all the same, but grown more beautiful in my absence; I almost ran, but it seemed a snail ' s pace, so anxious was I to get there. Then the last bend in the street and I saw the house — Home! I just had to run, and on the porch — Mother! Just then came a knock on the door and a friend asked, What ' s the History of Education assignment for Monday? and then I did ram the chair against the wall to make kindling wood. S. M. gTije llTir inian ' Facts From the Registrar 600 girls at the Normal. 585 look under the bed at night. 400 chew gum all the time. 200 occasionally. 500 made bead chains. I 00 own umbrellas, the rest borrow. 5 own aigrettes — 50 wear them. I jeweled frat pin, yet when the Annual appears all fifteen have one on. 500 girls own pennants direct from Harvard, Princeton, and Yale. 598 girls go down the street every day. (Permission given once a week.) I girl meditates on Sunday afternoon — while the rest make mayonnaise or wash hair. 1,000 stamps borrowed during the year; 25 returned. 50 crates of eggs received at State Normal. 50 (same) used on the students in various ways. 30 days have passed and Miss Mary White has only been mortified 30 times. The Normal Gooseberry Species S. N. S. AN evergreen species, with large trunk and clumsy limbs, found growing in waste places and dense forests. Produced by sowing hayseed and grows better if quickly transplanted from the nursery. Once thought to be a hydrophytic plant, but, upon examination, it was found not to possess the power of absorption, thus elimi- nating it from that class. Found struggling for life about the Haze Bush in the early fall. Unless watched carefully it will later become a parasitic plant and find itself about the Bum Flower. At Christmas-time found clinging to the pawpa (whose habitat is large banks). The winter variety is sometimes a great climber and in June bursts forth into blossoms, whose petals have a smooth texture like sheepskin. 140 CLUSS AND ORGANIZATIONS gE e lO ir inian The Scribblers ch should exceed his MEMBERS Georce Bailey M[ss Johnson Marie Bristow Juanita Manning Mary Belle Frantz Grace Welker Mr. Grainger Gertrude Welker Miss Wheeler gTfjc l ir inian Deutscher Sprachverein WaHLSFRUCH: Dichtungund Wahrheit BlUME: Die Kornblume Farben: Griin und Gold Fuhrerin: Friiulein Smithey BEAMTE BELVA POTTER Presidentin TEMPLE SWELLING Vice-Presidentin REBECCA BANKS Schriftfuhrerin MARY BELLE FRANTZ. . . .Berichstatterin CONSTANCE RUMBOUGH .Schatzmeisterin MITGLIEDER Julia Abell Brenda Griffin Eva Merle Arom Bessie Greene Elizabeth Armstrong Margaret Miner Rebecca Banks Katherine Hill Elizabeth Barham Elizabeth Kendrick Martha Bill Nita Marshall Kathleen Browning Eline Norman Bessie Bucker Ethel Pedigo Jessie Burton Belva Potter Alice Clarks Constance Rumbouch Eva Counts Temple Snellinc Margaret Coverston Annie Somers Alma Craddocf; Ellen Vaughan Alice Dadmun Ruth Vest Evelyn Dinwiddie Elizabeth Walkup Mary Belle Frantz May Wells Laurice Glass Kathleen Whitt % 1 S e Wir inian ' LECERCLE FffAW W Flower: Le Fleur-de-lis Colors: Blue and Yellow Director: Miss Estelle Smithey OFFICERS EMILY DAVIS President MARGARET HELM Vice-President MYRTLE HEATH Secretary JANIE BERGER Treasurer MARGUERITE ARCHAMBAULT Reporter Marcuerite Archambault Virginia Barnett Alice Baskerville Rachel Beale LuLA Bercer Janie Bercer Mary Bercer Nannie Bercer Mildred Booker Marie Brown Louise Bondurant Katharine Carter Ola Channill Gertrude Charlton Elizabeth Clements Mae Cox Emily Davis Marie Doyne Mary Dornin Nettie Davis Jessie Duccer Permelia Duccer MEMBERS Susan Ewell Annie Fulton Louise Fulton Elizabeth Gildea Roma Garnett Ellen Goodwin Myrtle Harrison Elizabeth Haynes Marianna Hamilton Lucy Heath Myrtle Heath Margaret Helm Bertha Jones Corinne Kemper Dixie McCabe DiDiE Minton Amanda Minter Lelia Mackey Mary Wood Mildred Moore Maude Mosley Eva Orr Fannie Pearcy Evelyn Purcell Clairborne Perrow Marie Pannill Gay Pugh Clyde Robinson Ruth Robinson Mary Rumbouch Sallie Slocumb Bernice Spencer Mary Stoneburner Grace Welker Margaret Waterfield Eloise Watkins Katherine Watkins Moffitt Willard lucile scaff Rosalie Vauchan Rose Caplon Marguerite Wilson TiLLIE Jacobson Elizabeth Pulliam Cotillion Club CFFICErS FIRST TERM SECOND TER Vl EVELYN NOELL Preshent MARY MOYLAN BANKS PHYLLIS BAYLEY Secretary and Treasurer NAN GRAY MARIE NOELL Reposter ETHEL PEDIGO RUTH CLEAVES ( Leaders S MILDRED MOORE ETHEL PEDIGO ( ELIZABETH CLEMENTS MEMBERS Eleanor Abbitt Marguerite Archambault LuciLE Baldwin Mary Moylan Banks Alice Baskerville Dorothy Batten Selma Batten Phyllis Bayley Kathleen Browning Elizabeth Clemens Alma Craddock Mary Dornin Mattie Love Doyne Esther Ford Ruth Cleaves Nan Gray Louise Harvey Elizabeth Haynes Alice Howison Vircinia Howison Carrie Hudcins Lucy Heath Myrtle Heath Mary Shepherd Jo Elizabeth Jarman Annie Leigh Blair Maben Christine McKan Mildred Moore Evelyn Noell Marie Noell Evelyn Peake Carolyn Pope Belva Potter JosiE Powers Jessie Pribble Fannie Price Marie Price Eleanor Parrott Ethel Pedigo Alice T.
