SS 1 ' I ' M? : I am cr happy to lia c this opportunity of expressiniz my keen appreciation of tlic honor wliicli lias become mine b - the joint dedication of ovir Annual. It is pe- ciilarly ratif) ing tliat you, in your courtes ' and j ood feeling;, paid the same respect to me as to your former Principal, who served you long and faithfully and laid a founda- tion for scholarship which so abl - met the demands of her da . I take very genuine pleasure also in exprefs ' ng to th.e Seniors and other students of 1916-17 the happiness which has come to me through your imf ailing courtesy and ready compliance with m - requests. I use the word requests advisedly because any other measure has rarely been necessary. I think of each of you with interest and affection, an interest and affection which in many instances began during the years in whicli my association with the Mary Baldwin was that of a teacher; many of you were students in my classes and a strong feeling of affection was established before I accepted this position, one of enlarged usefulness but, at the same time, erf heavy re- sponsibility and serious problems. The prospect of directing the affairs of a large school has become a reality and now we find ourselves near the close of a year, the results of which have been most encouraging. Sliall I speak to you concerning the Mary Baldwin Seminary? ' ou know her renowned past, an honorable history of nearly three-quarters of a century, during which time many fair daughters have gone forth from her doors: some to preside over homes of happiness and distinction, some to enter professions and become useful mem- bers of society at large, and others to go to foreign lands in various capacities. Let us nause for a few moments and pay our respects to those exponents of the past, realizing that, wherever social efFciVncv ns required, a Marv Baldwin girl was readv to fill the position. V ou are familiar with the present advantages: the material comforts, the stately and beautiful buildi ' L ' s and the accomolished and thoroughlv trained faculty. ever readv to guide and direct to higher attainments. Do you know her future?. Shall we have here a school second to none in the land, a school conser ing the ideals and traditions of the past while never hesitating to adopt and absorb all that is best in the present, where scholarship is the watchword and where the transition from winsome girlhood to gracious, charming. Christian womanhood is the highest distinction? This vision comes to me when I see ou going about your daily duties, at work and at pla -. and I sav with all rexerence and humility that, if I can accomplish such an end, the i Iarv Baldwin will ref-nin her honored position among the schools of the land. What are mu troing to do for your Alnn Mater as the various activities of life onen before vou ? Will the real worth of the Marv Baldwin be reflected in your life? Do vou realize that lour success will be significant of the influence that the training and development here have had upon our character? If vou become fine, strong women with a certam blend of cbarm and arace, of courage and intelligence, vou will add your names to tho e whom the Mnrv Baldwin Seminary has been proud to claim as her daughters. The Seminarv will alwa3s follow vour career with interest, but may I ur ge ou so to direct vour lives that pride may be mingled with interest! In closing. I wish to thank vou for vour assistance n miintainuiL ' and perfecting all that I found in discipline, scholarship and character at the Mary Baldwin Seminary. Most cordially j ' ours, MARIA.NNA P.

If we were to follow the illustrious example of Bassett, for in- stance, in his Short History of the United States, covering eight hundred pages, the history of the Senior Class would be too great an undertaking for any one except one who is well versed in the art of writing. The object of this history is to record the chief events in the school life of the Class of 1917. Although four of the class were here in 1913, a Freshman Class was not organized, partly due to the fact, no doubt, that our President was positive that she would not be back the next year. But, fortunately for us, she changed her mind. When we returned the following fall, having decided after one year of work that we would like some day to be Seniors, a Sophomore Class was or- ganized, and we felt much nearer our goal than before. We certainly must have studied hard that year, because very little of our time was given to social en- gagements. However, we had lots of fun, as Sophomores always manage to do. Not until our Junior year, when the Junior Specials added to the class both numbers and genius, did we really become prominent as a class — even though we may have felt our own importance before. Many things took place which will long be remembered, the most pleasant of which was the enter- tainment given to us by our patron in February. In April came the Junior- Senior banquet, the coming-out party of the Juniors. In trying to give an adequate description of that, words fail me. Miss Weimar ' s presence added greatly to our pleasure. The Seniors enjoyed it so much that not one How much better ours was last year! could be heard. INIany of us stayed for Commencement, probably to take lessons from the Seniors, so that, when w e did belong to that wonderful class of beings, we would have a better idea of how the reception of a diploma would affect us. When we left we felt that we would have missed a great deal besides this opportunity for observation, had we gone earlier. The Senior Cla?s was organized with thirteen members. This was at one time considered an unlucky number, but things have since changed. Of these, three belonged to the Literary Department, one to the Department of Expres- sion, four to the Voice Department, and five to the Department of Instrumen- lal Music. Havinj, ' such a ariety of taU ' iits, we frit thai we w ' ,i, ' do almost anythinj;. Our chief enjoyment the early part of the year was telling about things that happened my first year in order to impress the new girls with our superiority. But, after a while, knowing that there was a great deal to be done some time during the year, we decided that it would probably be a good plan to work a little as we went along. In December, Miss Higgins gave us a delightful reception. And again in February we were among the guests at a large, formal reception, which proved one of the most enjoyable occasions of the year. Along with the March winds came the rumor that we were soon to have a Senior Table, something for which we had long wished, and one day it really came to pass. Many were the lively discussions that took place around it — our present trou- bles and pleasures, our hopes and plans for the future. In April the wonderful Junior-Senior banquet took place, and then, as ne ' er before, did w-e realize how much more important we felt than we had the year before, for now we were the guests, and this was bein,L ' given for us. It is really remarkable that we did not grow vain, but if we did, no one noticed it, especially. Soon after this came review for Finals, which loomed up threat- ningly but they passed by, and before us remained only the pleasures of Commence- ment. By noon on the twenty-ninth of May we had received our diplomas, and all were preparing to leave for home — our feelings divided between joy and sorrow, for delighted as we were that we had at last accomplished our pur- pose, there was also sadness in the thought of leaving many who had grown dear to us during our stay at M. B. S. Nell Baylor. (ElaBB Prn;ibrri| Will the meeting please come to order. It is with regret that I have to announce to the jNlary Baldwin Alumn;c Association, that the members of the Class of 1917 can not be present at this meeting. I am sure, however, that all of you will be delighted to know that each of them has written a letter to the Association, telling very briefly what she has been doing since she left school. All of you remember Fan Lee and Elise Kidd, who made themselves famous working for Senior Privileges. I will now read their letter: New York, i . Y., May 26, 1927. Dear Members of the Association : We are so disappointed that we can not be with uu in your meeting. Perhaps many of you have heard that we have for tiie past fi e ' ears been interested in Woman ' s Privileges, and Rights. No doubt, many of you remember that we received our train- ing for this noble work in the Seminary. The honor of getting Miss Higgins to give our Class, Senior Privileges, certainly belongs to us. We have never ceased to work for the Rights of Women, and as our efforts are bringing about unusual results, we «ill ne er give it up. With nian - good wishes for the Associati(jn, Sincerely, F.AX Lee . xd Klise Kidd. I am sure the Association is proud of the record that these two young ladies have made for the Seminary. Now I will read lone Staley ' s letter. She has also been very successful in the life she has chosen. Decatur, Illinois, ] Iay 2S, 1927. Greetings to the Alumn;p Association: On account of the imusual number of m - social engagements, it is impossible for me to come to Staunton. I regret this, but since I ha e se en lunclieon engagements, twenty-one bridge parties, and ten dances in one week, you can see liow impossible it would be for me to lea e Decatur. As I cannot come to the meeting, I send my best wishes for tile .Association. loNE St.ALEY. Now, I have quite a surprise for all of you, in this letter which comes from Nell Baylor, in far away China: Siiantihai, Cliina, April 2, l ' )27. Dear MiMiibers of the Association: How 1 had hoped to be present at the 1927 meeting; of the Association! Perhaps, ail of you do not know that five years ago I married Ambassador Grey, and we have been in China for two years. The country is lovely, but in social duties arc ery try- in ' , and 1 often long for America and dear old M. B. S. Altiiough the ' come from awa ' o er the seas, m - wishes are for you in your work. Nell Baylor Grey. The letter I will now read tells of a noble work which is being carried on by two of our girls in the heart of Africa: Luebo, Africa, March 3, 1927. Dear Friends of the Association : ' ou will be surprised, I am sure, to know that I am in Africa. Eight years ago Emily Burrow and I came out here to study the friendships of the African race. It is a subject of unusual interest, and we are now busih ' engaged in writing our book, entitled, Friends That Count. I would like to be with you, but my first duty is to finish this book, which I hope each of you will read with great pleasure. Sincerely, Marjorie Cutts. Among the interesting careers that the members of this class have had, none are more unusual than those of Mary Shuster and Helen Heard. Their letter will tell you their remarkable success in the business world. Philadelphia, Penn., May 26, 1927. Dear IMembcrs of the Association: How disappointed we are that we can not be with you for this Commencement! But on account of a rush order for one thousand c ars to be used by the S. M. A. cadets, we can not lea e PJiiladcIpliia. As many of you know, we are now sole owners uf the Heard-Sluister Automobile Co. We are sure that all of oii have heard of our cars, and yet we feel that we must tell you just a little about our business. The car that we put on the market for $250 is remarkable in many wa s. Bv actual demonstration, it can climb hills, and go through mud that e en the Ford Prize Model can not attempt. Our car costs less, and wears longer than any other on the market. Last year we cleared half a million dollars. Our plant is one of the largest in Philadelphia, and if ain of oii are ever there, please come to see us, for we are still interested in M. H. S. Sincerely, M.ARV Shlster . nd Helen- Heard. The next letter is one that will make all of you very proud of Nan Smith and ' irginia Wyse: New York, N. Y., May 26, 1927. Dear Members of the Association : We are wondering, as we write this letter, iiow many of you have heard of our unusual success in the literary world. For the past three years we have been writing together. Nan ' s latest book is, How to Put the Baby to Sleep. Many of you re- member that she has always been interested in the theory of sleep. As a result, she has written this wonderful book. I am now ready to publish m - own book of Jingles Children Love. We hope that many of you will read both of them with a great deal of pleasure. Best wishes for the Association, N.AX Smith and Virginia Wyse. Hinton, West Virginia, IMay 25, 1027. Dear Members of the Association : How I wish I could be with you in o ir nicctuit. ' . but it is impossible. I have been married only two weeks, so 1 simply couldn ' t think of leaving home. I would like so well to see the members of that dear old Class of 1917, and I do hope all of them are as happy as I am. Sincerely, Minnie Grev Jackson- I am sure, all of you will be delighted to hear of the remarkable careers that Virginia Mitchell, and Mary Borden are having, as concert performers. New ork, N.

You have every heart beguiled. Though you vex and tease us mortals, Still we love you, fairy child. Though you fright the village maidens, Make the housewife churn in vain, Lead the travelers from the highway Through a dark and winding lane. Though you tease some aged woman, Make her spill her bowl of ale, Torment poor old wrinkled gossips While they tell a thrilling tale. Though you made four lovers frantic With a little purple flower. Searching which the globe you circled And returned within an hour. Though you never show repentance For your pranks, but shout with glee, While you hold your sides with laughter, Lord, what fools these mortals be. You are such a sportive fairy, Such a quaint and merry elf. We must overlook your mischief And still love your cunning self. Little dream-god, child of fancy, Come and with us ever dwell. Lift from weary hearts their burdens. O ' er us cast your happy spell. Squeeze thy potion on our eyelids, Merry wand ' rer of the night, Let us, too, each happy morning Wake to visions of delight.

A Dittrli iC u u IllCRI ' were no tulips in Holland when Rudli.ti was a little boy, or, for that matter, until he became quite urown up. But one never missed them, then, for no one in all the Land of the Dikes had ever seen a tulip. And when they finally riidl — but here is the story. Rudlig was a handsome boy, as Dutch boys i o. He was taller than most of his playmates, and his strong, beautifully-shaped limbs won him ready advantage in all the games. His two eyes were like bits of the blue heavcn, and in them was all the expression of his nature. Rudlig was a happy child. His sparkling laugh was contagious wherever his work or play led him — in the school-room; on the dikes, where the children played; or by the canal-bank, where he sat with his mother in the golden-gray twilights. And he sat with her nearly every evening now, listening with wide-eyed wonder to the fasci- nating stories of foreign lands whither the trade of his father led him. . 11 the ' an Driislers were merchants, and it was the height of Rudlig ' s young am- bition to follow the trade of his forebears and see for himself the wonders of these lands beyond his beloved sea. Thus, in the wholesome atmosphere which Dutch children know best, Rudlig grew to manhood. . t last, came the day of Rudlig ' s first voyage. Then , for the mother, many months of weary waiting. No word of complaint passed her ' lips — but, as the days neared the twelvtmonth, she sat longer by the canal, watching for the white sail on the far-off horizon, till the gray of evening darkened into night. It was not until the fans on the windmills were gently turning in the early summer breeze that the vessel returned to Holland. The old man was delighted with the results of the voyage, but his health was broken with the long, hard journey, and he despaired of ever making another. During all the hot summer he lay ill, and Rudlig carried alone a burden almost too heavy for his young shoulders to bear. Yet it was his laugh that brought the brightest comfort to his mother ' s heavy heart and carried the only hint of sunshine into the sick chamber. But when the first chill of autumn tinged the air, the father died. Quietly, and with no outward emotion. Rudlig and the mother bore their grief. The stolid Dutch neighbors offered their kindest services to the lontlv pair, but the mother, whose only remaining interest was in her son, smiled and thanked them in her simple way — yet repaid none of their visits; and Rudlig was satisfied now, as when a child, with the mother ' s tender love. To him, this perfect devotion was no sacrifice, since the only pleasure he knew lay in making those about him brightsr with the sunshine of his laugh. To all in trouble he offered a helping hand, and for the sorrowing, his sym- pathy knew no bounds. The mother sometimes wondered at his constant cheer as she watched him relieve a stumbling old woman from a heavy load, or heard him tell a grumbling fellow a funny tale. And so, his sunny nature won Rudlig a big place in the hearts of the people. At last, it became necessary for Rudlig to make another voyage. When he told the mother, though she smiled bravely at his merry reminder of the old hen whose one chick finally left, she bit her lips to keep back the tears that would come. During the weeks of preparation they both worked un- ceasingly in order to take their minds off the departure, but not for one mo- ment did either really succeed. The night before the vessel sailed, Rudlisi was swinging along by the canal on his way home. A little peasant girl stopped him with a proffer of fascinating wares. He examined the few trink- ets in the small tray strapped to the frail shoulders. No flowers, pretty one? he asked. She had none, she said, but here was a bulb which her uncle had brought from far over the sea. It was called by the natives there, a lucky flower. Would he not buy that? So, with a laugh, Rudlig exchanged a coin for the bulb. As he went on his way, a merry tune on his lips, he decided to give the foreign bulb to the mother. Together they should plant it on the morrow, and with its first blooming he would return home. Eager to tell his fancy to the mother, whom he knew would delight in carrying it out, he quickened his steps. Early the next morning, while the flowers were still heavy with dew, they went out into the prim, little garden, and together planted the ugly, brown bulb. They each made a guess as to its shape and color. The mother hoped that it might be yellow — but Rudlig wanted red! When the sail of the departing vessel was a mere speck on the horizon, the mother left the old, square dock and walked slowly home along the busy canal. Her eyes saw the bustling throngs — but her heart was with Rudlig far out on the sparkling blue sea. Each day she tended the bulb. ]Many months she watched and it showed no signs of life — yet she never despaired. Soon now it must bloom and bring Rudlif; back to lur! A year passrd, and she showed its weary length in her tired eyes and [lale face. Yet no day was too stormy to care for the sleeping hull) At last she fell ill. The brusque, old doctor refused to let her leave the room, but the kind-hearted nurse wheeled her to the garden window on the sunny days and she watched patiently for the bulb to bloom. Steadily she grew worse. One balmy day, when the mother was too ill to raise her head, the nurse found three tiny, green shoots from the bulb. The mother was very happy. 1 shall live till it blooms, now, she smiled — but the nurse shook her head. So she clung tightly to the frail stem of life, but each day her grasp grew weaker. Finally, when the birds were first caroling to the Spring, the bud burst into bloom. But the mother ' s resistance was worn away, and her life could cling no longer. When the evening shadows fell at last, she spoke slowly. I have waited and he has not come. Now I shall go to him. The flower was true, for we shall meet — though beyond the seas. With tears in her eyes, the nurse went to the window. There in the garden was the flower, with its regular, velvety petals, standing tall and proud among its stiff green leaves — and the flower was scarlet! Jane McIlhenny.

' midst the cannon ' s roar and the tramp, tramp of the soldier boys, that our courageous prin- cipal started her bold undertaking. We in these better days can scarcely appreciate the difficulties attending such an enterprise. To provide board and fuel for so great a number at a time when flour sold at twenty-five dollars a barrel, and bacon at a dollar a pound, was a problem not easily solved. All the long summer days were spent in laying in supplies, and by dint of unceasing perseverance, together with the aid of kindly friends, when autumn returned, a sufficient store had been collected to keep the wolf from the door, for a time, at least. The trouble, though, did not end here. The provisions were in possession, but how to keep them? Staunton in those days was a great depot for army supplies, and was consequently alive with soldiers wearing both the blue and the gray. The former ' s proclivities for appropriating all the goods and chattels of their Southern foes, especially the contents of the larder, was a fact thoroughly within the grasp of a school girl ' s mind. Accordingly, when that dread cry, The Yankees! went forth, down dropped every book and out rushed every girl. The wood pile, then just outside the present parlor window, there being no other back yard, claimed attention first, a soldier ' s weakness in that line being proverbial. The girl would seize upon a log of wood, put one end on each shoulder, and off they ' d go to deposit it in the dark and hidden precincts of the cellar. Many hands made quick work, and soon there was no trace of a wood pile save a few scattered chips. By stratagem which would have rendered a general famous, many bar- rels of flour had been procured, and deep and anxious were the debates as to the safest hiding place for the precious possession. At the suggestion of a bright-eyed little maiden, each girl draped a barrel in one of her skirts — crinolines were then in favor — making thus a dainty dressing table for every room. But, alas! there were more barrels than rooms. Accordingly, the con- tents of the remaining ones were sewed up in a tick and did duty as a bed. When the tramp of the blue coats was heard, the thinnest girl in school — and it is said she was the only thin one — chalked her face to a ghastly white and got into her bed of flour. As Miss Baldwin ushered a Federal ofP.cer into the room to make the usual search, this ghastly figure suddenly rose up in the b?d as if awakened from sleep. The startled officer backed out of the room with a murmur of apology for disturbing a girl so ill. The pretty draperies aroused no suspicions, however, and the flour was saved to furnish food not only for hungry school girls, but for many a wounded soldier lying sick and suffering in the hospital. On another occasion when the Federal soldiers were in the town, the girls hid hams in every desk of the big school-room, not our present chapel, for that was the Presbyterian Church, but the present office and the adjoining hall, then one room — even the stove had been duly filled, and there was just time for each girl to grab a book when the searching party entered. A studious company they appeared, notwithstanding the fact that many of their books were upside down. A little taken aback that the young ladies should show such indifference to their presence, the soldiers, after a casual glance about the room marched out. one of them remarking that the girls didn ' t seem much afraid, to which he received the prompt reply from a pert little Miss near the door, What ' s you to be afraid of? Yet not always were their little schemes so successful, as when some of the girls attempted to roll a barrel of sorghum up the dining-room stairs and the head came out! They had this consolation, however, if they could not eat that sorghum neither could the Yankees. A favorite plan, when there was something valuable to be saved, was for the principal to show the search officers about; ushering them graciously into rooms and halls, up stairs and down, in and out; she took them through the endless maze of crooks and turns, until the poor men were completely bewildered and went off not a whit wiser for their pains, and at one time leav- ing a dozen barrels of flour in the hall where they had not been taken. Among other things, there was a scarcity (and I believe there has never been an abundance I of men in the Seminary — in fact, not a single being of the male persuasion dwelt within these walls. As a consequence, numerous apparitions, always clothed in male attire, were seen, and many were the mid-night processions of white-robed figures marched down the dark gallery armed with pokers, tongs, shovels, and other offensive and defensive weapons, in search of the dreadful man, who was nevrr found but once. That once marks the epoch in the annals of the Seminary. The usual cry of ' ' . man! a man! had been given, and the usual procession of trembling girls. with Miss Baldwin at their head, was advancing down the gallery, when there crouched as ainst the fence, ih, horror of horrors! was a man. The crisis had come, but our principal, ever equal to an emergency, drew herself up, brandishing her poker, and in thrilling tones exclaimed, If you don ' t go away I ' ll shoot you. The terrified man made a wild leap for life and was lost to iew over the fence. It is needless to say that very little sleep was in store for the frightened girls that night, and the kind old ' Grandmother, ' Mrs. McClung, had her hands full to soothe their fears, for, as if there was protec- tion in her gentle presence, they had all gathered into her room, spreading their cots upon the floor. This was their haven of refuge in time of trouble; whenever the Yankees were in town, here they fled and here they staid, some- times as many as thirty in the room, until perchance Jackson would come marching down the valley; then the blue-coats went fast enough. And what good times followed! Such a singing and playing, practicing up for the soiree that was always given to our own soldiers. How those girlish hearts beat at the entrance of the gallant lads in gray, whose tarnished braid and battered buttons seemed far brighter in their eyes than all the gilded glory of the blue. Thus, with a never failing fund of cheerfulness, the girls bore their deprivations, enjoying on that account their little diversions two-fold, and the years rolled pleasantty away. Friends, as I have said, were very kind, and sent contributions of every sort. The dinner table presented a queer appearance, set as it was with odds and ends gathered from everywhere, no two cups and saucers alike, here a kitchen knife and there a silver one, while a stately cut-glass goblet was arrayed along side of a heavy china mug; but young appetites are not fastidi- ous, and our girls grew strong and hearty, no matter if butter and gravy never at the same meal, or if their coffee was made from rye and sweetened with sorghum. Sometimes their contributions from kind friends proved white ele- phants. As, for instance, one day while Miss Baldwin was busy teaching a history lesson — she taught herself in those days, eight hours a day — a loud rap came to the door and a voice cried out, ' Miss, here ' s some cakes a ladj ' sent yer, or what sounded like that. A hearty clap greeted this announce- ment, and all rushed out of the door to view the delicacies, when, to their con- sternation, the little urchin opened a bag and out crawled several large cats. The lady had sent a bag of cats, having heard that the rats were bad in school. As there was no means of providing for an increased household, the cats were returned with thanks. The furniture of the rooms, like that of the dinner table, was collected here and there, no two pieces being alike. As a general rule, these little makeshifts gave the girls no concern, but in one case there was cause of dis- content. Human nature, and especially school girl nature, does not change much. A mirror had by great exertion been procured for every room but one, and the unfortunate inmates of that room were doomed to make their toilets without that very necessary aid. Patience at last ceased to be a virtue, and with almost tearful entreaty they begged Miss Baldwin to try yet once again; they had looked at themselves in the water bowl until they were tired, and they did want a looking-glass. Miss Baldwin set out and r;turned triumphant, bringing the panel of an old fashioned clock in which was set a mirror. A friend to whom she told her trouble had unearthed it from the dust and cob- webs of her garret. No plate-glass mirror was ever received with such joyful acclamations. Yet with all their interruptions and inconveniences these young girls steadily trod the path of learning. What cared they if every girl in the arithmetic class did have a different text-book, so long as they had teachers capable of surmounting the difficulty? And what mattered it if their new pieces, the present glory of the music pupil, were leaves torn from an old song- book, so long as they were sung into the admiring ears of our handsome soldier boys? — Extracts from Joseph A. Waridell ' s History oj Mary Baldwin Seminary. If I had my wish, a pink jellyfish Is the fellow I ' d choose to be, Adrift in space in the calm embrace Of a tideless, twilight sea. Mid the world ' s alarm, he fears no harm From carking care he ' s free; Though the sea -i- ' ull screams, he sleeps and dreams So tranquil of heart is he. When in hungry mood, he gathers his food As it floats obligingly near. And he don ' t have to think where to look for a drink. For never he lacks that cheer. No wiser sage ever conned a page Or taught us deeper lore, Than this peaceful fool in his deep, green pool On the sandy, shell-strewn shore. Then, oh, for the balm of the jellyfish calm! And, oh, for his placid mien! No knowledge of sorrow, no thought of tomorrow, Just drift through the days serene. L. F. W.

Ulbr (Eall Can you hear the song of the robin When the soft wind sweeps from the hills? He sings of the smooth green meadow, Starry with daffodils; Of the wandering stream and the blueness Caught from the cloudless sky; Of swaying trees in the sunlight Where leafy shadows lie. They are waiting for you o ' er the hillside. Come, while the breezes sigh. Do you hear the call of gladness From the head of the broad highway? It tells of the joy of living. The pleasure of work and of play; Of the newness and freshness of all things. Unfolding ' neath wondering eyes; Of friendships, true and unchanging Though sorrows may arise. They are waiting for you on the highway, Come, for the swift day flies. Helen Heard.

The little Brown Sparrows were chirping among the Twigs, and the Garden was beginning to let us know it was there. We Pondered a while before at last, deciding that the shortest way to Henshaw, the Bakers, was to turn to your ' right on Augusta Street. We just had to have some Graham crackers, for we were starving; so Elizabeth Anderson, Adam, and I jumped into Mrginia ' s White Mitchell and Raced over there and back again. Just as I was about to ring the door Bell, we Heard a noise that sounded like some Guy had dropped a Mellon or something of the sort. So we Stowell around to the back, and sure enough, a Kidd had Slaughtered the biggest Mellon you ever Sawtelle. During all this excitement the cook, with her Steel Gray eyes, ran out of the Kitchen, leaving the gas Jets burning high under the Bass she was cook- ing. The Mayer and the Marshall were coming to dinner, so I thought it Wyse to remind her it wasn ' t asbestos and might Burnside such a huge fire. She said I gave her such a Payne, but nevertheless went back and turned the gas lower. Adam had the time of his life, he kept eating Moore and Moore, until it was a Riddle to us he didn ' t swell Wright up and burst. He was a Witty little Kidd, and informed us that it had been dropped for Adam ' s Express purpose, and he also said some other things, much to the displeasure of his mother, who, by way of punishment, made him go home and read four poems of Keats and three of Browning, while he would have much preferred Cobb to either of them.

Prowlers Around Seminary Under Arrest — Inmates Give No Information as the Dead Can ' t Talk Much excitement has been caused by the catching of a night-rover outside nf the MaiJfn Bastilc on New Street. For many nights a bold, brave man, whom we will call Gallant, dressed in a blue-grey uniform, with the letters S. M. on his cap, has been hanging around the bars of the M. B. after 9 o ' clock. AW M. B. ' s are supposed to be in bed by S:30! Although last night was cold and chilly, the new moon called to Gallant, and he went to see his fair damsel to get one smile, and one word to spur him on to greater things. But alas! The eagle eye of the Warden of M. B. was focused on him, having hidden in the shade of an overhanging cliff ready to pounce on the S. M. Gallant, unaware of his peril, went closer than usual, and, after a few words, which made life worth living, to him, he started on. Ah! But he heard pussysteps behind him — his hat jumped up, caused by the raising of his hair — a cold chill gripped him — and then a cold hand gripped him by the collar and a rough voice said, ' Law has you! Be quiet, youth. Alack! Alack! He glanced back at the window in time to see his fair damsel pulled from the bars, chains put on her hands, and led away. Gallant was taken before the justice, Hiram Hicks, and received a sentence to eat rolls soaked in syrup the rest of his days. Tlie Fair Damsel was sentenced to spend the rest of her days knitting socks for soldiers ! Within this desk, now put to rest. Are the books of Dorothy hid. She went to every meal, while here; That ' s all she ever did. No one believes that an elephant can climb a tree, but anybody can see a tomato can.

THE BALDWIN BUZZ MEMORIAL HALL FLOODED Girls Become Hysterical as Boiling Water Rushes Through Corridors STUDENT PROVES A HERO! Outrageous screams were heard issuing from Memorial Hall at 7 a. m. When aid reached the hall, hot water liad com- pletely covered the floor of tlie bath- rooms and hall. One of -.he limiled num- ber of early risers stood on a trunk on the verge of hysterics. A tub had over- flowed, and the latch of the door had sprung, making entrance to the room im- possible. Out from the group of petrified girls rushed a student, well known to all the boarders, and after several attempts, scaled the walls and suppressed the flow of water by turning off the faucet with a golf-stick.

THE BALDWIN BUZZ THE BALDWIN BUZZ Published every century, by Baldwin Company (Inc.) Copyright — (out of order) Manager Mr. I. M. Curious Editor Ml. I-. t ' . Quacious Olfice Buy Will Shirk Let us now put aside any frivolous thoughts we may have, and consider a deep and serious subject! On the behalf of the .Inti-Oemerils Society, the staff wishes to put before the maidens of ihe M. B. Seminary a suggestion for a big step in t he uplifting and purifying of its social standards. This noble movement is to rultivate a new spirit of Frtln shif ' in ihe school with, the hope of bringing about a hap- pier and sweeter life lo all concerned. The Board has drudged laborim;sly on working out plans for the development of this cause, and our decisions shall be laid out to the public. The plan !s as follows: There shall be stationed in each building from 9 to 9 :30 daily, a member of the faculty with a strong persona ' ity! Then the girls will be requested to form in a straight line and march bv her — each in his successive turn accepting her offered Rii it Hand nf Fellor.s iip. Big results are expected, for besides bringing the faculty nearer the student body, this warm feeling of sis eiK rnn- leniality will permeate throughout the school. It has been hinted at that this plan might even do away with Jie ' ur- perfluous noises in the halls at those hours, for, in exchanging these friendly greetings no •-.vords are spoken — onlv a tight grasp of the hand, and a nieasant smile are requested. We are hoping that evervone will put forth his utmost efforts to he friendl with his neighbor, not tn mention the complete banishment of all unkind words from everv vocabularv. Look Who ' s Here !

Mrs. Sawtelle ' s Wax Works Most Notorious Leaders of the World in Wax — Life Size THE BALDWIN BUZZ L ' Envoi (With apologies lo Kipling) When tlie day ' s last class is over, And the books put away with a smile, When there ' s no more lessons to go to And no more work for awhile. We shall rest, and faith we shall need it, Go play for an hour or two. Till the study hall bell shall call us And put us to work anew. And those that are good shall study They shall all their lessons prepare, While those that are bad shall frolic And finally end up in despair. Go study, for surely you ' ll need it When school-girl days are o ' er, ' Tis then that you ' ll need your knowledge More than ever before. And after the study hall ' s over And the stars shine out in the sky, When the moon ' s cool beams are shedding Their silver rays from on high. We shall put away cares until morning, We shall rest in the glory of night Till the song of the birds in the dawning Shall put the darkness to flight. M. H.
