In youth he appeared to be unusually open in character, and of a most trustful disposition, qualities in striking contrast to the suspicion which seemed to characterize the men of his day. This trustfulness he retained throughout life, as is shown by the story of his faith in his physician. Although warned, by a letter, that this man had been bribed to poison him, such was his confidence in his physician that he drank the medicine, at the same time handing him the letter. Another characteristic of his youth, as of his manhood, was his love of learning. His teacher, Aristotle, inspired Alexander with some of his own desire to study and to make new discoveries, and the pupil never outgrew this thirst for knowledge. We are told that everywhere he went, he took with him a copy of Homer ' s poems and slept with it under his pillow, and that in his travels, he tried to acquire more and more information. In his relations with his teacher, there is a courtesy and gratitude on the part of Alexander which 1? very pleasing. He never forgot Aristotle, but gave him money to continue his studies, and later in life, sent him collections of the animals and plants native to the countries he visited. Lovableness characterized both his manhood and his youth, as is shown by the Queen of Cana ' s attachment to him, and more especially by the love that the mother of Darius manifested for him. In this affection there is a cer- tain amount of pathos which appeals to us. The sympathy of Alexander, his , Q delicate attention to these royal ladies, and the courtesy which he extended to them on all occasions, have caused him to be likened to the knights of the days of chivalry. In his relations with these ladies of Persian royalty, Alexander has been favorably contrasted with typical Asiatic conquerors. One of these despots would have enslaved the captured women, but Alexander showed them every mark of respect. Generosity toward the conquered, as toward his friends, was a prominent characteristic of Alexander, and many interesting stories are told to illustrate this trait. Notable among these is the anecdote of his lavish bestowal of gifts upon his friends at the time of his departure for Asia. When asked what he was going to keep for himself, he answered proudly, My hopes. He seems also to have treated the conquered Persians with generosity, and to have displayed much sympathy for the suffering of the poor among them. Alexander ' s bravery and self-confidence early asserted themselves, winning him many a victory and contributing not a little to his successful career. His personal valor is noticeable in every battle he fought, and no matter how hard pressed he might be, his buoyant self-confidence and unfailing resourcefulness always won the day, so that it has been said that he never met a foe that he did not overcome, nor an obstacle that he did not surmount. An attractive characteristic that marked Alexander ' s youth was his temper- ance, a trait which, in his later years, he lacked to a deplorable degree. Aris- totle impressed the value of this habit upon him, and he followed his teacher ' s advice during the early part of his life. An illustration of this fact is his re- mark to the Queen of Caria when, as an evidence of her interest in him, she offered to give him her best cooks; he laughingly answered that the best recipe for a good appetite was a march before daybreak as the sauce for dinner, and a light dinner as the sauce for supper. When we consider these attractive characteristics of Alexander, and then see how he deteriorated, we are strongly moved by a feeling of pity and regret. His head was first turned by the flat- tery and attention he received from the oracle of Zeus Ammon. His own courtiers were surprised at the eagerness with which he greeted this praise, at his readiness to assume divine honors, and at his gratification when called the child of the god. From that time on, Alexander became more and more proud, boastful, and cruel. His wilfulness, too, led him into many acts of indiscretion and sin. In every respect he exercised less self-control, until at the end of his life he became just as intemperate as his father had been. In his drunken orgies he committed many deeds which he afterward regretted, such as the slaying of Clytus, an officer who had been his boyhood companion and lifelong friend, and who had saved his life at the battle of Granicus. But even these acts failed to make him see the necessity for self-control. We can- not help pitying his condition toward the end of his life, even though we feel a great contempt for him. It is most deplorable that a man like Alexander, justly called The Great, loved by his soldiers and friends, and possessing so many admirable characteristics, should have died at such an early age and because of his own personal indulgence. Nannie Timberlake. 32 A Midnight Tragedy C Ti l T was the very coldest night in January — just such a night as ikT makes honest people like to draw close together and feel each other ' s presence while they listen to the wind whistling around corners and moaning among the bare branches. Memorial Hall, in which I room, is the most remote of the buildings of Mary Baldwin Seminary, but as I am not of a nervous temper- ament, I had never felt any uneasiness as to my safety. On this particular night, I had worked at my desk later than usual and was just putting away my last book, when I heard a slow sound, a clang and yet a knell. It startled me, but I hardly had time to realize my fright when the first bell was joined by another, sweeter and quicker, that seemed to come from the very foot of the hill. This tenth hour had always been, during my five months at school, one of unbroken silence. What could they mean, these clanging bells breaking in upon the storm? On such a night as this, anything might have happened. After ten long tolls, the bells ceased as suddenly as they had begun. I hastily made ready for bed. Have you ever tried to forget something that is uppermost in your mind? How I tried not to hear the ringing of those bells amid the fierce raging of the storm ! Always between the wild pealing would echo in my brain the knocking at the gate on the night of Duncan ' s murder. Sleep was impossible. I tossed and turned, rivaling the storm in restless- ness. Toward midnight I became drowsy and was about to close my eyes, when I heard a sound that sickened me with fear. It was a cry only half human, a sad, wailing, musical note, yet the cry of a man, and it came from the fast-shut closet at the foot of my bed. Just four agonizing words, the first high and shrill, the last deep and mournful, trailing away into silence: ose words engravec memory! I can still hear the last gasping die as it sounded to me that night. Those who have known fear of the worst kind — fear of the supernatural- know the agony through which I passed. I could not think, I could not scream, I was congealed. I had read of escaped lunatics murdering each other in secret A places. Could two such creatures in their insanity have chosen this secluded spot for their crime? I summoned courage and breathlessly sat upright in bed, gazing with wide, unseeing eyes into the almost palpable darkness. All was silence. Not a sigh, not a gasp. How long I sat waiting to hear the dull thud of the body, I know not. I called my roommate, but my only answer was her heavy breathing, which told me that she was ignorant, how happily ignorant, of the terrible crime. My brain began to work. The mur- deress, Hattie — the name still rang in my ears — had brought her companion into my room on pretense of burglary. They had secreted themselves in the store room; then, while we were all at supper, they had doubtless ransacked my room (I remembered now that I had found my room in great disorder) and had hidden themselves, upon fear of discovery, in my closet. I knew that Hattie intended to leave the body of the victim where it fell, so that I might be called guilty of the awful murder. Why, since the awful deed was committed, did not Hattie make her escape? I strained my ears to hear her footstep; not a sound, not a breath. Suddenly, a sense of self-protection and of duty overwhelmed me. Could I not lock up those bloody actors so that they might be brought to justice, if, indeed, one were not already beyond my power? If the awful stillness could only be broken! If I could just know what had taken place in that little room! I made a move towards the door. My step was noiseless, but the quick ears of the woman inside could easily have heard the pounding of my heart, and I almost held my breath. A sudden thought at which I sickened — there was no key. My fathers ! something must be done. I bent my ear to the keyhole. All was still. I would not be a cow- ard. I would flash on the light and face the murderess and her horrible deed. With heavy steps I reached for the light; there was no time to lose. As my hand touched the knob, there came before my eyes the terrible sight that Blue Beard ' s closet contained. The knob turned, and sick with horror, I flung wide the door. My impressions were verified. Hat (tie) Pin, in my uniform hat, had fallen upon, had struck, but not killed the man-Dohn on my closet shelf, and the piercing screams of the victim were technically the notes, E, A, D, and G. Sarah Ellen Greene. When we come to school in September, the first person whom we see is Mr. King, with his cordial, winning smile. His hearty welcome makes the old girls feel as though they are coming home again, and the new girls always say, I know I ' ll like Mary Baldwin! Through all our school year, it is Mr. King ' s smile and his cheery words that make us happy. No matter how tired and cross we may be when we go to Mr. King ' s office, we always come out smiling and glad. Mr. King is never failing in sympathy and inter- est, nor is he ever too busy to hear our troubles, our homesick woes, and even our ove affairs. We admire him as a Virginia gentleman, courteous and hospitable, but we love him for his unselfishness, and his con- tinued and varied acts of kindness and goodness to us. At Commencement, as we leave Staunton, Mr. King is the last person we see, waving his hand and giving us a hearty Godspeed. 11 B 1 1 1 1 -I -I t£ J J R S I turn the close-wntten pages of my little diary, all the good times and few of the heartaches of my first year at boarding school throng in upon my memory, and I scarcely know where to begin. The eighth of September, 1910, saw many of us stran- gers in a strange land, looking on with wondering eyes while the omnipotent old girls flew down the terraces in the wild excitement of greeting each other with shouts and hugs of welcome. While these lords of creation were telling of their perfectly wonderful summer, we found time to wander, lost among the covered ways, surveying our new school home. I need not dwell long upon these first few pages, for every girl, even you who were here last year, by a special twist of memory, can recall the early days when you yourselves were scornfully dubbed Rats, and you know how, even then, you answered at least every hour, I ' m crazy about it. For the first two weeks we learned chiefly the exercise of picture-hanging, the art of friend-making, and the lesson of submission to our betters (old girls). Then lessons of a different, if not of an easier kind, began. On September seventeenth, the Y. V. C. A. launched us safely upon the vast sea of Baldwin society. They gave the most novel and enjoyable recep- tion in our honor, the kind that makes you mix in, and as we said good-night, we felt that we had made many new and interesting friends. A fitting close to the wild excitement and club rivalry of October first was the Fancy Dress Ball given that night in the gym. In the afternoon the school became a veritable workshop in preparation of costumes; and such creations! There were laughing representatives of various countries between the North and South Poles; and not one but tripped on the light fantastic toe until the bell sounded and the Cinderellas vanished. We were just getting started on our road to knowledge and hardly knew that we wanted a holiday, when one came. After enjoyable trips to Highland Park, we found ourselves tired out but no longer hungry, and as we separated for the night, we wished each other many happy returns of Miss Baldwin ' s birthday, October fourth. Many Saturdays in my little diary are marked in big letters, Went to a tea, and that one sentence brings the aroma of steaming coffee, the vision of chicken salad, piled up, and of sandwiches — oh, those sandwiches! It all makes me hungry again. Off and on during the year, Mrs. King has received us into her home with the proverbial hospitality of the Virginian, and our joyful noise and normal appetites have attested to the best kind of a time. Whoever would have thought that the staid, thoughtful, wise Y. W. C. A. leaders could ever tempt us to believe in ghosts? Yet, if you could have peeped into the gym on Hallowe ' en and have seen the silent (?) white-robed figures gliding here and there, each devouring with supernatural greed the oysters and gingerbread, even you could not have helped but — ask for a bite. Thanksgiving Day found us more interested in football scores and boxes than in the hardships of our Pilgrim Fathers, and girls ran and tumbled and fell in every direction lest one strain of Kable ' s Band escape their ears or one cadet pass unseen. Let us not dwell long upon that dinner; enough time was spent in enjoyment of it. Then later, in the gym, Unthinking, idle, wild, and young, We laughed and danced and talked and sung; and wished we need never stop. The first of December saw us full of Christmas spirit, sewing or pretending to sew, while some one read aloud to keep the Christmas spirit from summon- ing the teacher on the hall. The mistletoe, holly, and cedar that banked th e stage for the Christmas soiree brought the first great realization that we were almost home, and the twenty-first saw us all wild with excitement and homeward bound. Of course, none of us were ready to come back after two short, blissful weeks, but we came, and there were lots of yarns to tell and ' twas good to be together again. At night, tired from the Christmas gaiety, we would all turn out the lights, huddle together, and tell the most blood-curdling ghost stories until, when the 9:30 bell sounded, we were glad to cover up our heads and go to sleep. On February eleventh, the people of Staunton gave an old-fashioned spelling bee, and, what with the wit of the pedagogue and the blunders of his 39 pupils (although we sometimes had to wait for others to laugh first), we had the best kind of a time. If you look in various memory books, you will find place cards from two lovely birthday parties, and for February fourteenth, pages lined with crimson hearts discovered at the Valentine Party in the gym. The dramatic talent of a number of girls was displayed on the evening of February eighteenth in the nature of a musical comedy. The elaborate scenery, the elegant costumes, and the efficient acting (?) all went to make up a very instructive and a very enjoyable evening, and since that time, the friends of the Dramatis Personae have attested their approval by constant allusion to the play. Since February twenty-fourth, you may catch fragments of new jokes and songs, and hear such feeling expressions as Wasn ' t he adorable? — all of which goes to prove that the University boys in their Glee Club Concert won the approval of the Baldwin girls. The bountiful club feasts, the instructive recitals, the nerve-racking soirees, the interesting lectures, have all gone to make up a large part of our school life; but in disclosing the pages of my diary, I have told you only of some of the things that make us say that Baldwin ' s is the finest ever.

No, I don ' t need you. If you come in, you will upset all my discipline. Run along like a good boy, Ruth replied, walking reluctantly but resolutely up the aisle. Good-bye, Ruth, he called, I ' ll just wait here if I can ' t come in. It isn ' t safe for you to go home alone. He smiled at his own effrontery as he glanced back at the April sunshine streaming through the open door. Ruth vanished into the choir room. Hal- dane sank into a cushioned pew and relapsed into an indolent attitude. The solemn stillness of the church calmed his racing heart like a cool, re- straining hand. Through the oaken doors came shrill, childish voices that could not dull Ruth ' s sunny mezzo. Haldane ' s eyes wandered over the church. The Easter decorations had been more artistic when he had had charge of them. In the successive Easter vacations of his college years, he had watched them become less and less beautiful, with a feeling between an artist ' s vexation at poor work, and a comfortable conviction of his own superior ability. The bank of lilies about the altar was not so bad, though he had made a better display with two-thirds the number of plants. The wall of callas before the choir seats was very effective. But who, oh who, had desecrated the noble old church with those tawdry silver letters which, dangling unevenly across the chancel, formed the words, Christ is Risen ? Haldane smiled scornfully as he glanced from this Kindergarten fancy-work to the richly carved dark oak woodwork, the delicately shaded organ pipes, the carpeted aisles, the glowing windows. His eye delighted especially in the golden angel in the 91) ?9 eastern window. Hundreds of times, he thought, his childish eyes had puzzled over the illuminated English lettering. Its translation had beguiled many a weary Sunday — Behold, the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand spelled Hal- dane, half aloud. Then he turned to look for something. There it was, in the shadow. During his high school days, when he sang in the choir, his eyes had often wandered to the window erected to the memory of Judge Reckland, and he had thought how inappropriate was its inscription — Blessed are the Peacemakers. When I put up that rose window, as a memorial to Ruth, ' My wife, ' added Haldane, as a warm color deepened in his rough cheeks, I ' ll put, ' Blessed are the pure in heart ' under it, and nobody will feel about that as they did about Judge Jim ' s blessing. I believe Ruth ' s all there is as far as I ' m concerned. I wonder what text Ruth would choose if she were putting up a window for me? ' Be merciful to me, a sinner, ' I guess. He leaned forward, clasping and unclasping his hands, his dark eyes full of trouble. A man that could ask Ruth to marry him would need to be almost perfect. I wonder if there ever was a man worthy of her? I ' m not, and I ' ve always con- sidered myself something of a man. The flush deepened again, and his mouth quivered, then grew firm. Alleluia, Alleluia! sang Ruth ' s little girls like a choir of crickets. Allelulia, Alleluha! Ruth ' s glowing voice responded in amendation of their version. Then Ruth sang tenderly the wonderful notes of the beautiful carol. The words were almost indistinguishable, but Haldane knew them well. He was despised, and the jubilant child voices interrupted piercingly, He is risen. Despised and rejected, flowed on the inspired melody. The children shrilled in response, Crowned into glory. A man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. He is gone up on high. So the strange duet went on. Haldane frowned impatiently. It was sacrilege to add to Handel ' s sor- row, more especially this wabbly, squeaky addition by uncomprehending chil- dren. It was like the silver gilt motto in the stately church, and still the idea was not a bad one. The dual message was impressive enough, if one could but forget the traditions of that song. Could it be Ruth ' s idea? The difficult harmonies were well worked out. After all — ; he took a hasty side glance at the motto. Chris The church swam before his eyes, and among the wavering Gothic arches and the swaying lilies, he saw a vision of Ruth ' s sweet, pure face upturned to ' A him, a ray of sunshine falling across her face and lighting her golden hair. He bowed his face on the rail, moved by a strange new emotion, he knew not what — he only knew that it was the best and purest feeling he was capable of, and surrendered himself to it. The childish voices died away and the church grew silent. From the choir room Ruth came, smiling, and Haldane rose and went to meet her. I ' m afraid you ' ve had a tiresome wait, said Ruth, but don ' t the babies do well? See the motto? My little tots did that, too. I think it ' s splendid for children, and they seem to feel it so much. Haldane ' s glance traveled from the motto to the golden angel and thence to Ruth ' s sweet face. It is beautiful and appropriate, he said in a low, vibrant voice. And Ruth, looking up into his eyes, saw that they shone from under moist lashes with a clearer, purer light than that which glowed through the golden angel. After an instant she looked away with a happy little sigh. Slyly, con- fidingly she laid her tiny hand on his arm, and together they went out into the Easter sunshine.

And the boy with S. M. A. on his collar began watching intently the long line of M. B. S. girls file out of the side gate and over towards the church. That ' s all nonsense, Bob, said the V. M. I. boy, with a disgusted air. How on earth could you tell any one in that crowd? It looks more like the tombstones in a national cemetery than any- thing else — all in white and every hat exactly alike. Why, man, how could you tell any one girl when there are two hundred more around wearing the same kind of hats? Frank, old boy, that ' s where you are wrong. Perhaps those hats look exactly alike to you, but I see a vast difference. Watch that girl leading the line. You see her hat is new and clean, without a dent in it. I ' ll bet on her as a P. C. after Christmas. Frank laughed and watched the girls with more curiosity. So you read characters by hats, not faces. Keep it up, Bob, I am inter- ested. Well, there ' s a girl with a new hat. But just look at it. She won ' t have a piece left by November. It is broken, dented, and stained. She doesn ' t care how she looks, but only thinks about having a good time. Boys are noth- ing to her, especially S. M. A. boys. But look, quick! You see that girl with the yellowish-looking hat? She ' s an old girl, and the mischief-maker of the school. Why, I bet that hat has been in the rain a dozen times, and there is a hole in the crown, and the brim is uneven. But I ' ll wager she ' s leader in all the fun that goes on over there. Bob, I believe you know the facts, and are just trying to guy me. No, I would tell you the same thing if I had never seen those girls before. But look, Frank; here she comes, the one I have been telling you about. There she is, with her hat turned ' way up on one side. What do you think of her? 94 We are giving opinions by hats, you know, said the V. M. I. boy, laughingly. Well, what can you tell by her hat? inquired the S. M. A. boy, with interest. Frank watched as long as possible the girl with her hat turned up and set on one side of her head. Well, Bob, he said at last, I should say that girl is exceedingly good- looking; more than that, she knows she is good-looking, and, more still, she wants every one else to know it. Gladys Cofer.

SCENE — Miss Weimar ' s Office TlME — 6:30 Thursday Night, February 31, 1911. Miss Weimar, seated at her desl(, turns pages of the Record Bool(. Teachers arranged in a circle. Miss WEIMAR: Before we begin, ladies, I should like to relieve my mind of a matter which has been troubling me for the past month, and which has had much to do with my poor state of health this winter. Our girls have not been receiving as much attention from the young men as usual, and this is a source of great regret to me. Possibly the uniform hats may not be as becoming as they were in years gone by. Mademoiselle, have you any of the latest fashion plates? MLLE. : Yes, Miss Weimar, I will go now and bring down the latest modes. (Exit Mile.) MlSS WEIMAR: I do not assume the whole responsibility, ladies, for it seems to me that our girls are entirely too quiet to be interesting. I wish we could rouse them in some way. When will there be another football game? I think I shall write Captain Kable to reserve a number of seats for the young ladies. When you chaperone the young ladies in the afternoon, try to prevent them from walking along the quiet, unfrequented streets. The Kable boys have holiday on Monday; on that day, especially, request the young ladies to walk on Main Street and by Kable ' s Store. Then there are some splendid moving picture shows this week; take them to one or two, and see if you cannot arouse their interest in such things. I have found that the best way to appeal to young ladies is to tell them what interesting girls we found their mothers. There ' s Evelyn Pratt — Miss Tate, will you speak to her? Never would you have seen Evelyn ' s mother conducting herself in such an old-maidish way. MlSS TATE: Yes, Miss Weimar; knowing Evelyn ' s mother as I did, I cannot understand her daughter ' s lack of vivacity. MlSS WEIMAR: Now, ladies, I am ready to hear any suggestions that you may have to make. MlSS VosS: In connection with this very matter, Miss Weimar, in No. 1 Hilltop, the young ladies retire at exactly ten o ' clock. Nothing that I can say seems to have any effect upon them, and after light bell, my hall is abso- lutely quiet. MlSS WEIMAR: I suggest, Miss Voss, that you try to interest them in some of the late novels; young girls sometimes enjoy them. Invite some of them in each night, and cheer them up with refreshments, play games with them, or read them a love story. Any further suggestions? MlSS WILLIAMSON (deliberately) : Well, I want to mention the way the girls lag behind at stationery. I always place my chair in the entrance to Academic Building, but every time I have great difficulty in persuading the girls to go promptly for their stationery. The young ladies seem so diffident. Judith Ganson, Helen Bryan, and Maria Woods, by their shrinking timidity, cause the loss of much time every day. MlSS WEIMAR : Yes? Just give me those names. (Copies them into book.) Further remarks? MlSS HURLBURT (agitated) : The girls at my table, Miss Weimar, are losing all of that enthusiasm that I spoke to you about at the beginning of the year. They have not given a yell for M. B. S. since the concert by the Uni- versity Glee Club. Eleanor DeLoach is almost quiet in her manner and is so exclusive in her conversation that she never speaks to any one except the girl seated next to her. MlSS WEIMAR : I consider that rude. I ' ll ask all of the teachers to notice this tendency and to do all in their power to prevent such behavior. Encour- age them in laughter and animated conversation. MlSS LEFTWICH : For the past month. Miss Weimar, I have had scarcely any orders for flowers. This fact, I think, shows that the girls have become decidedly colder in their friendships. We determined last month to promote these exclusive friendships. The following young ladies have not given me an order for at least a week: Helen Scherer, Fay Milburn, and Florence Budd. MlSS WEIMAR : I am glad you mentioned that, Bessie; I had letters this week from the parents of several of the young ladies, urging me to encourage their daughters in spending more money on college pleasures. I shall suggest that the young ladies send more frequently to Washington for orchids and American Beauties, and that they take more interest in their dress. I see beautiful evening dresses advertised in Altman ' s new catalogue; and such pretty evening slippers. Miss Shawen, will you speak to Mary Munger and Elizabeth Brooke about the slippers? MlSS RIDDLE: I have noticed of late. Miss Weimar, a tendency toward too much study on the part of the young ladies. They study at the wrong time. In the afternoon, when they should be indulging in such harmless recre- ations as baseball and tennis, they are probably studying. I am told that almost every girl in school gets up at five o ' clock, instead of sleeping till the breakfast bell rings, and I think we all agree that no sleep is more refreshing to young minds than that enjoyed between seven and seven-thirty. Two young ladies, Marion Wicks and Mildred Warfield, are so deeply absorbed in their work that they do not even know when the chapel services begin. Just a word from you. Miss Weimar, I think would correct this. MlSS WEIMAR: Yes; is there anything else? FrauleiN: Ja, there is a thing that I do not understand. My church section has been too crowded last Sunday. I think I will have to have another pew. MlSS WEIMAR: Very well, Fraulein Geiger. I have provided books and soft couches in the Infirmary for the young ladies, hoping that I could prevail upon some of them not to attend church so regularly. Miss STREIT: I cannot do my work in the library at night, Miss Weimar, because of the uninterrupted practice during the first hour. Frances Pindell and Lutie Woods persist in practicing the entire time — often coming up before the bell rings and never going down until 9:30. MlSS WEIMAR: Very well, Miss Streit, I shall speak to the young ladies to-morrow. (Return Mademoiselle, bearing fashion plate.) Mlle. : Here, Miss Weimar, are the latest modes in Paris hats.

This clock is called an alarm clock. The pretty girls set it at night. They want to get up to study. Do they get up? No, they do not get up. Poor tired girls ! Would you get up? See all the nice girls run. Are they greedy girls to run for their breakfast? No, they are not greedy. See how fast they fasten their dresses. All the girls have on cuffs. I don ' t like cuffs. Do you like cuffs? See this big room. It is the chapel. How quiet the chapel is! Good girls are always quiet. 9:00 I see one girl who does not sing. Why does she not sing? She studies, for she must soon go to class. What does the tall lady do? She reads names. Do all tall ladies read names? No, but she reads the names of bad girls. Would you be a bad girl? 1 I :00 What does the sad girl carry? She carries her music. She is going to a music lesson. Why is she sad? Does she not know her lesson? Yes, she knows her lesson, but she is — he 1 1 :30 Why do some girls go up the hill? Because they are P. C. ' s. What are P. C. ' s? They are good girls who can study in their rooms. Are all P. C. ' s good? Yes, all P. C. ' s are good. I would like to be a P. C. Why do the girls run? Because one girl has a box. What is in the box? Nice things to eat. And will there be enough for all the hungry girls? No, but the girls who can run fast will eat up all the nice things. Look at all the pretty girls! How dressed up they are! The girls are going out for a nice walk together All the pretty girls like to walk. Girls would cry if they could not go to walk. I would not cry, would you cry? 6:30 Where are the girls now? They are all at the gym. Why do girls go to the gym? They go there to dance. Are the girls happy then? Yes, all the girls are happy, for they knew their hard lessons so wel V 7:00 What makes all the nice girls run? Did you not hear the bell? They are running to Study Hall. Why do they run? Because they want to study. Do you like to study? 9 :35 Ladies are shutting the doors. The nice girls must all run. Good-night, girls! In hope her poor health would grow better. Both raw eggs and grape juice we ' d get her. But quick as a flash, She was off with a dash. The minute we gave her Pa ' s letter. Oh, Hippo, you ' ve caused us to weep, For all of us loved you a heap; Our affection, ' t is true. May be worthless to you, But it ' s yours, yes, forever to keep. Miss Ganson, a maid from the West, Like dynamite entered our nest; Her speech was so witty, To scold was a pity, She was held as the Faculty ' s pest. But now, if you enter this place, Of Hefty you can ' t find a trace; A radical change Has made her so strange, It actually shows in her face. L. F Lively Fun-maker H. T Halting Talker K. D.

S., the day has come at last To bid good-bye; our larks are of the past. Can we forget the jolly times we had In playing jokes to make each other mad? Or better still the wild rough-house we made, The baseball and other games we played ? Or shall we e ' er forget the midnight spreads, With food heaped up in piles upon the beds? What joy we took in breaking every rule! For such the pleasures of a boarding school. But oh! what days of torture we have spent In bluffing through each class with keen intent! How many ceaseless hours 1 cannot tell We ' ve passed in listening for the closing bell. On Saturday in office we would pine While writing words and learning to define. Can 1 explain just what it meant to us To sit in church without a bit of fuss, With folded hands and unsupported head ? What dreams we had, on wildest fancy fed ? We know your one great hope and dream, dear school, Was that we ' d all be saints and break no rule, But how could we, so full of joy and life, Be staid as those who ' ve seen much care and strife? We beg that you be merciful and say, These giddy girls may wiser grow some day. — Clifford Lindsey. 5|HE chapel was crowded, even the circus benches were filled with eager, curious girls. There was an excited hum of voices, and then a sudden, breathless pause. Six girls filed slowly in and took seats on the stage. A whispered consul- tation among the six, and then Miss Williams, of Mississippi, walked forward — the stillness was intense. She gave a deep, impressive cough, and placing her hand upon the desk, surveyed her audience calmly, judicially. There was a dramatic pause, and then Miss Williams began to speak. Her subject was, How to Appear Important. Miss Williams, our authority upon parliamentary law, always appears prominently in the limelight, so her short talk proved to be very in- structive. Next came a tall, stately young lady, with an intellectual face. Her manner was cool and composed, her voice carefully modulated, and the audi- ence at once recognized Miss Sarah Ellen Greene, of Birmingham, Alabama. She spoke slowly and distinctly, now and then consulting written notes; her hearers were told, in the most faultless English, how to gain the reputation for literary attainments, and how to keep it. Miss Greene is recognized as one of our literary geniuses, and she gave much valuable advice upon The Art of Being Literary. The young lady who followed Miss Greene was attired in a dark red Peter Thompson suit. She appeared to be slightly embarrassed, and her face rivaled her Peter Thompson in color. There was a sudden gasp in the audi- ence, and a fresh, eager young voice called out, Why, it ' s Lutie. This was followed by whispers, Sh, Maria. Miss Lucretia Derrick Woods waited a moment in dignified silence, and then began earnestly, It is a source of great regret to me that my friends at Mary Baldwin do not look seriously upon life, and do not feel — Here she was interrupted again by groans from the irre- pressible Maria. Miss Lucretia made an effective appeal for a more earnest consideration of the serious problems and responsibilities of life. Although her face kept the wise look of the owl that she has frequently impersonated in the T. F. D. theatricals, a wave of suppressed amusement swept over the audi- ence as Miss Woods sat down. The merriment was suddenly checked by a sharp tapping of the bell, and the imperious tones of Miss Kate Earle Terrell filled the chapel : The meet- ing will please come to order. Miss Terrell then proceeded to give a brief outline upon the subject, How to be President; How to Monopolize the Office. As Miss Terrell has been eminently successful in this respect, her audience listened with absorbed interest and attention to every word. And then there was a buzz of interest, whispers of Miss Munger! Miss Munger! Every girl craned her neck to see the popular Miss Munger, for- merly of Hill Top. Her costume presented striking contrasts; she wore a dress of dark blue voile, with glimpses of a white satin fringed ruffle, her feet were encased in Old Ladies ' Comforts, and she struggled with a pair of slightly gray lace cuffs. She spoke upon The Art of Mural Decoration — a subject which seemed to appeal to her eager listeners. She described in detail the large red hearts, pierced with arrows, which she had employed as the motif for the decoration of the ceiling of her room in Hill Top. She added modestly that the effect was so pleasing that Sargent might well envy it. Miss Munger sat down amid deafening applause. And last appeared the heroine of the year, Miss George Harris. The interest of the audience seemed to have reached its highest point, and the still- ness was intense. Her manner was cool and unconcerned as she announced her subject: How to be Written up in the W ashington Post. Miss Harris explained that it is comparatively simple to appear as a beautiful young girl eloping from a fashionable school. She said, with a shrug of her shoulders, All that I had to do was to slide out of the second story window on a rope sheet and — just here each girl leaned forward eagerly — the knot slipped, and down I came! The next morning I was reported as a daring heroine. When the clapping and excited whispers had at last ceased, some one, high on the circus benches, called out, Haven ' t we learned a lot to-night? ' T was the first of October, and all through the school Not a creature was stirring, nor breaking a rule; The new girls were sleeping, forgetting each care In hopes that the club-bidders soon would be there. The old girls had nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of new members danced in their heads. The sound of the town clock had ended each nap, Just then in the silence was heard a light rap. When out in the hall there arose such a clatter. Each girl held her breath to hear what was the matter; When what to their wondering eyes should appear — Long white-robed figures, a-standing quite near. Each lay still a moment, pretending to sleep, They could not wait longer — just one little peep. Then quick they attacked them, with speeches so dear — Those speeches I dare not, I cannot tell here. Each old girl declared that her club was the best, And left the poor Rat to be put to the test. How many, how strong, how fatal the pleas That were made by the old girls ' way down on their knees! For it had been ordered the previous year (And every one minds if she wants to stay here), That none of the girls who had entered quite new Could belong to the clubs, at least, more than two. Then after the awful suspense of the night, The new girls were happy and honored and bright; A Young Hunter with a Beard roved through Green (e) Parks towards an Abbey. While Ford ing a Brook (e) he heard a Sharp peal from a Bell. Ad Vance ing, he beheld a Lyon and a Bull contending over a Lamb. The Hunter shot the Lyon, dragged the Lamb away, beat the Bull with a Pole. and ran to the Woods. 1 — Fancy dress ball. 4 — Holiday — Miss Baldwin ' s birthday. C. O.
