Much must be learned of all the chivalrous arts Before the lad, with vows and ceremony, Received his spurs and accolade โ a knight, Who now might ride on long and perilous quest. But stay ! behold those days are not yet gone ; Still do we train for service, for a task As great as any quest of knight of old. The world cries out for succor ; only those Are able who in all things, have been trained.

I!, from the College. She is a continual source oi wonder to us. How can a girl who is so popular, so much sought after in society, achieve such success in her studies? Why, she can discuss ' most anything intelligently, and (fortunate student!) she knows the secret of getting tin- most out of a hook in the least time. Had she lived when knighthood was in flower Dot would have been named Lady Dorothy โ lovely to behold with all the feminine graces. We wonder how in the world she would decide what colors to w : ear at the jousts and tourna- ments where she would he in demand. Each knight was distinguished by special colors, wasn ' t he? Then, how would Dorothy manage that? Perhaps it is better that she lives now rather ' than in the age when chivalrous gentlemen fought duels and did other rash things for a lady faire. In other words, we are glad to have known Dot. WINIFRED VIRGINIA EISENI ' .ERG Staunton, Virginia You just naturally expect brilliancy of anyone who liears the cognomen, Eisenberg โ and Winifred is no exception. She finished the Seminary course several years ago, and after teaching a while, returned this year to complete the course for a College degree. We do not see Winnifred so very much, for the simple reason that she doesn ' t stop around here very- long. If you are not in one or more classes with her you just see her come into the library once in a while to change books for the next class. A smile for everyone, and a cheery word of either greeting or congratulation for those whom she knows a little better than others, make a person with friends in any place. Winifred gives one the impression of ability and capacity for unlimited accomplishments. All in all, she is one of the most successful girls in the class of ' 25. But you will have to ask Winifred, herself, what her life ' s ambition is! PAULINE ELIZABETH HARRIS Staunton, Virginia Pauline is one of the most accommodating and dependable girls we know. Everyone who knows her likes her for her gracious ways. Must of all, we admire her brain-power. In mathematics she shines anil in other things too, she excels. You know there has been rivalry these four years โ not the kind you may be thinking of, though! โ but friendly rivalry between Polly and Charlene. Wonder who will make the highest? Most often, neither is highest, for both names are enclosed in a nice bracket. Brackets are very expressive, sometimes! Polly is quiet and an extremely good person in whom to confide your cares and tribulations. We think, too, there is a reason for her pensive attitude sometimes. What is his name? I am not sure, exactly, whether it is the same as Polly ' s first name with the last three letters missing, or not. Anyway, we will miss her next year. CHARLENE MADISON KIRACOFE Staunton, Virginia Secretary of Senior Class When you hear footsteps approaching along the hall โ quick footsteps with a peculiar ac- cent, you know it is Charlene late for Latin class again. She is nearly always in a hurry, but when she gets where she is going, you will soon realize that she is there. She ' s sure to make some witty remark or ask a pertinent question, which shows that her mind is always in good working order. Charlene is really brilliant and has made an enviable record during her four years at Mary Baldwin. She has already had some experience as a teacher, so because of her ability and her amiable disposition, we predict success in her chosen vocation. We can make this prediction safely, even though we do not pretend to be prophets, for she has already been successful in more than one way. We are very much interested in what Charlene will decide to do next year, since she seems very doubtful about it now. Wonder if any institution of higher learning has offered her a chair in its English department? RoNCEVERTE, WEST VIRGINIA President of V. W. C. .1 , President of Senior Class. Cotillion Club Here we beg to introduce you, Gentle Reader, to Capability and Character โ to Rocier. You ' ll never regret having met her. Vnyone who has achieved the feat of heing twice the president of the Y. W. C. A. of Mary Baldwin is bound to be capable of leaving a few foot- prints on the sands of time. And if those footprints are imprinted as firmly and permanently on the sands of time as her lovable personality is in the hearts of the faculty and students here, we could ask no more of fate. Somehow we can not exactly feature Mary Baldwin without Rocier. It ' s just like trying to imagine Mary Pickford minus the curls. However, there ' s a bright side to everything, and they say that after five years spent in doing the same thing one acquires a habit, and all we can hope is that Rocier, from force of habit, will come back next year. Otherwise โ but the otherwise prospect is ton dismal to dwell upon. iStucstocKtng Htstnrg of ' 25 L ' hisloire n ' cst que le tableau des crimes et des malheurs. โ Voltaire. ERTAINLY a pessimistic sub-title to a class history, but that was just put there to be disproved and to show you that the Seniors, par excellence, can quote French, even Voltaire, if necessary. It is good for our sister classes to be apprised of our surpassing wisdom โ otherwise they might not recognize it. After this, one- may surely expect to hear them acknowledge with awe, They Greek and Latin speak with greater ease Than pigs eat acorns, and tame pigeons peas. In addition to this hypothetical reputation for erudition the class of ' 25 has the distinction of being the first class, as such to be graduated from Mary Baldwin College, since it was only last year that the curriculum was expanded to transform the Seminary into a full-fledged college. As the one graduate of ' 24 was too modest to designate herself by the title of class, we appropriate to our- selves that honor. We were organized last year, a real class quite as large as life and twice as natural, with four members, Rocier Martin, Pauline Harris, Dorothy Bowman, and Charlene Kiracofe; and this year Winifred Eisenberg, an old Seminary graduate, came back to her foster mother for her degree. Miss Mary Hurlburt was unanimously elected our patron, and she has been our friend as well. Despite Voltaire ' s aphorism (and he may not have been thinking of a school history) the cri mes and misfortunes of this quintette have been negligible. There was the usual struggle for a motto and colors that nobody had used before, the election of officers, the customary teas and banquets and entertainments by our sister class, and the unvarying indecision finally accompanied by the selection of a school ring- โ and one, by the way, which will become the standard ring of M. B. C. Seniors of the future. It is this last โ the fact that in some few things we may be establishing a precedent for other Mary Baldwin College students, that makes us proud and a little fearful at being the first class to graduate from this college whose history is now in the making, and though our part in after years may seem very small, we can be glad that we were of the beginning. โ Charlene Kiracofe. ยฃ ?niiir Glatedjtem 1.

There beyond the border of the sheltered lives we live Lies a world that ' s different from the one we ' ve known ; There success, and fame, and fortune are for sale; men give Heart-aches, ruined ideals, and sad pain in payment. Then into this world of chaos, World of sadness and of pathos, Restless wander we, equipped with theories lone, Primed with conceit and eagerness That soon shall turn to bitterness, Across the threshold โ into a life unknown. There ideals shall be shattered โ (youthful idols toppled o ' er, School-day theories will explode at touch of Fact ; And dreams that once we cherished shall dissolve forevermore, When exposed to life ' s relentless, bold attack. Standards that we raised and clung to, through the era of our youth Some few shall cling to still, some cast away โ In the battle of the ages โ that of Falsehood versus Truth โ For us in the fray there ' s a place left vacant.

Who could keep from liking Bunny Bowen? She ' s just like that Rose-Marie that John McCorrhick ' s howling about, all who learn to know her love her. But he doesn ' t mention noses, and Bunny ' s specialty happens to be her lily white nose. Bunny ' s a care free girl โ nothing ever seems to worry her. We believe she could go all day with an eyelash in her eye and blink only now and then. What would we have done without Bunny ' s funny little laugh! A queer, delightful little laugh all her own. Brains! Well, the very fact that she ' s graduating in the academic course (which is no easy route) proves their presence. sc= i ' ย fL5i jS-Ei r bbhst MARY VIRGINIA BULL RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Literary Graduate Vice-President Y. W. C. A., Cotillion Club, Member of Basketball Team, President of Senior Class, Bluestocking Staff, Monogram Club Above guile and deceit, absolutely sin- cere and frank. Ah, fair readers, to be so considered is to be universally respect- ed. Just let me introduce you to Jinks. She may be hard to locate, for she ' s such a popular person. Upon search one might find her hard at work in the gym, practicing basketball with might and main, or on the tennis courts, serving balls like a second Helen Wills. Maybe this splendid lass will be weeping glycerin tears or uttering harsh laughs up in chapel, merely rehearsing for next Sat- urday night, where Jinks will portray a tender Pierrette or a grotesque hunch- back. And now the scene changes. The background is a blackboard covered with strange figures. The most mysterious of these mysterious figures is Jinks, for she excels in math, and entertains great hopes of being presiding genius of the math department of some lucky school in the near future. Look up her record. Ve think it unique, and always she has been charm- ing, attractive, and ready to do anything for the glory of old Mary Baldwin. ra-r ib-Eb ยฐa-B 4 KATHLEEN COLEMAN GOODLOE STAUNTON, VIRGINIA Literary Graduate . Miss Goodloe, can you add anything to that? Well, a โ no โ , I don ' t be- lieve there is anything more. Kathleen has been dreaming again! The subject of her day-dreams must be very, very pleasing. It reminds us of the days when fair maidens dreamed of knights on while chargers โ and modern girls are still looking for Galahads and Launce- lots, all rolled into one! If anyone at Mary Baldwin wants to know the name, and so forth, of a certain young man, Ask Kitty Goodloe, she ' ll Know. These days, brave and daring knights do not wear coats of mail : they wear clothes with a military air โ you know, like those worn at Staunton or Augusta Military Academy! Kitty never lets school bore her, for she has lots of other things to take her mind off that. Of course, some things have to be done, and she always does them, creditably, so we really envy this popular young lady. What puzzles us is โ if Cupid should be following Kitty, who would be the party of the second part? Cupid would be leading a stren uous life ! r ibl-lS taj-ldi J3iยฐBj MARY ELIZABETH RICHARDSON o ' KEEEFE, WEST VIRGINIA Literary Graduate Now, we hate to accuse any of our il- lustrious graduates of being greedy, but how else can we hope to account for the fact that Elizabeth manages to pass โ and, please notice, pass with credit โ her dozen or so classes if she wasn ' t a bit greedy when Mother Nature passed the brains around? But her studiousness has been quite a loss to us. We don ' t get an opportunity to see much of her and, as the adage puts it, You can ' t see too much of a good thing. Elizabeth is a very charming, at- tractive, and likeable girl. Now, I dared not not trust my own judgment in mak- ing the above statement, though it seemed apparent enough. I went to her room-mates with, What do you think about Elizabeth ? Think? came the almost indignant reply. Think? We know! She is the sweetest girl and the best room-mate ever. Editor ' s Note: know ! -And r o o m-m a t e s MARGUERITE HANCOCK APPOMATTOX, VIRGINIA Graduate in I ' nice Member of Y. W. C. A. Committee, Choral Club, Cotillion Club, Y. W. C. A. Cabinet The height of ridiculousness, in our mind, is to be allotted three inches of space to tell the world about a girl like Marguerite. One could write a set of ooks and index her many attractions in alphabetical order. First would come her charm. Charm and Marguerite are fast friends. Humor, too, clamors to be applied to her. And looks! Whether Marguerite is a stunning-looking girl or a likewise-looking man, It ' s all the same to us. With a personality that would please even the fastidious Madame Glyn, and poise that would be the envy of the Queen of Roumania, there is only one thing left for Marguerite to be, and that is a musician, and most of all this is what she is. Her voice is our pride and joy, and chief delight. A thing of beauty is a joy forever. Marguerite can also play the piano (to say nothing of kettle drums!) She is the loudest part of the school orchestra, and all we need to do is shut our eyes to think Sousa ' s band is swinging down the avenue. rm-lcgr -fgJJ-dT nffljgT iar a .MARY CRAWFORD McCOLLUM PITTSB URGH, PEN N SV LV A N 1 A Graduate in Voice Cotillion Club, Bluestocking Staff, Choral Club, Secretary-Treas- urer of Senior Class You know the lines in a current song that run something like this : I ' ve still got lots of vitality, And that ' s the thing that counts today. Well, that certainly describes Bud. Have you ever noticed that when the music is exceptionally good down in the gym, it ' s usually Bud at the piano ? And have you ever seen Bud dance that strange concoction of good steps and pointed wit (for, being the greenest of green Irish, the girl has humor to match) ? But it is on the stage that she excels, and whether the selection she sings be an old classic like Berceuse or the more modern Tea for Two, her voice will one day make Galli Curci look to her laurels. Not only does her voice dis- tinguish Bud. She has the rare distinc- tion of being the only Yankee in her class, and on the whole lives up to that distinction pretty well. But Yankee or no Yankee, Bud is one of the most at- tractive and accomplished blossoms Mary Baldwin ever turned out. li tE31ยฐ [SP fj3 (Lgi eBHSj ANNE ISABEL ALVIS FISHERSVIIXE, VIRGINIA Graduate in Piano Dark brown hair, brown eyes, well, a typical brunette. That is Isabel! You could not see this petite maiden with- out noticing those twinkling brown eyes โ the charm, irresistible. Who would want td resist a combination of beauty and musical talent? Certainly, the mod- ern followers of good King Arthur do not even make the attempt. Isabel is very popular (this word is much over- worked, but in some cases, it is absolutely the only word which suits the subject we are discussing), but she has been able to overcome that, and is now a graduate in piano ! We have not had the opportunity of knowing Isabel very intimately, for she lives some miles from Staunton and does not tarry with us often, except dur- ing recitation hours. Perhaps she will return to Mary Baldwin next year, and then we can become better acquainted. But we cannot forget soon the girl with the laughing eyes, and shy, attractive manner. KATHARINE BANNER HOWARD TARBORO, NORTH CAROLINA Graduate in Piano Cotillion Club, Member of Y. W. C. A. Committee Kat is one of those fortunate per- sons who has a superabundance of that intangible something โ personality. Even those who know her best feel that they know her but little. Eor there is much to know. Anyone who knows her at all will admit that, the more you know Kat tlie more you want to know this exceed- ingly different young lady. Dance? That goes without saying. And she has per- fected this art like a typical North Caro- linian. Those who have danced with her know this is not a slam. And those who have not done so โ only have to have this pleasure once to find out what a compli- ment it really is. Did some one say could she play the piano? The next best thing to hearing Kat Howard is to hear Rachmaninoff ! ! BONNIE DALE KELLY IVERNESS, FLORLDA Graduate in Piano Recording Secretary of Y. W. C. A., Choral Club What ' s in a name ? Well, bonny Bon- nie, for instance. Who would suit that name better than our Bonnie? Sweet, re- served, and rather shy โ but just try to argue with her and you ' ll find her mighty firm in her convictions. Bonnie is an ethereal lass, and walks with her head in the clouds. We hope that Bonnie will al- ways believe that life is just a long, sweet dream as she does now, and that she will not come to earth with such a big bump. But really, now, she can play a piano. Just give her a chance and let her shake her head to the rythm of the music, and you ' ll realize that she has that divine spark โ genius. She is a wonderfully versatile young miss, for not only does her playing hold us spellbound, she sings, and is one of Expression ' s pride and joy. To all of us Bonnie Dale has endeared herself with her smile, thoughtfulness, and winsome ways. apTI-IEsT fiยฃ)MLsi ยซajj E LOUISA BLANCHE KOCHTITZKY HIT. AIRY, NORTH CAROLINA Graduate in Piano Cotillion Club, Member of V. W. C. A. Committee It was a rustic tavern of merrie olde England. Two hunters in fine clothes have just entered and knocked the floor with their guns (did anyone say any- thing about anachronisms?) to attract the bar-maid ' s attention. Hie thee, buxom maiden, fetch us a tankard of ale. Zounds, John, turning to his compan- ions, didst see those ankles peering be- neath the maid ' s blue skirt? Ah, those ankles, those ankles, my kingdom for those ankles ! I say, come hither, maid, a kiss from thy cheery lips for a poor knight weary from the chase. Nay, nay, sir knight, replied the maid, rolling those big brown eyes of hers to the usual good advantage. My kisses are for no man, unless I am his wife. His wife! But I โ I am the king. What can a bar-maid offer to become the wife of a king? Ah, your royal highness, I had in truth, not aspired so high. Yet can I cry like a tiny baby, and thou shouldst see me dance as the Dutch. Verily, my lord, I am a fetching Gretchen. Give me a quill and I can show thee a rare draw- ing. Your majesty, pray what more do I need to offer to become the queen, thy wife ? Enough, enough, the poor king had already succumbed to the twinkle in her eye and the dimple in her cheek. I am convinced. Step out into my chariot โ my queen. And we, who fur two years have known and loved and immensely enjoyed Louisa, did not question the wisdom of the king ' s choice. NANCY OPHELIA MOFFETT STAUNTON, VIRGINIA Graduate in Piano Secretary of Senior Class If we were asked to mention the ad- jective which we think most descriptive of this talented girl, we would reply, unanimously, with this word โ sweet. Don ' t you think it belongs to Nancy? She is very like our ideal of what a girl should lie โ pretty, gracious, intelligent โ in all a very winsome maid. She pos- sesses a charmingly distinctive personal- ity and never fails to impress those with whom she comes in contact. Those who know Nancy feel that she has given up at least some enjoyable features of her busy social life in order to develop more fully this p a r t i c u 1 a r talent โ music. Music hath charms. When you hear her play, you are reminded anew of the truth of this quotation. We hope Nancy will capture the heart of the fairest and truest knight when he comes riding by in his new model automobile. If that does not fulfill her heart ' s desire, then we do nol know what to wish. .MARY KATHARINE SOMERS BURKEVILLE, VIRGINIA Graduate in Piano Cotillion Club, Member of Y. W. C. A. Committee Though her music hath charms to soothe a savage beast, Katty ' s beaming countenance and cuteness in them- selves are sufficient to dispense all signs of savagery. We can easily understand Daniel in the lions ' den when we turn our thoughts Katty-ward. A veritable court jester, full of bells, tinkles, and jingles. Now, I ask you, is there such a thing as being down in the mouth around Katty? Not unless your face froze that way in your early youth. Katty is always terribly funny, whether she is on our own level, or up on the stage, as big as life and twice as natural. Rut what we most love Katty to do is to approach the piano, arrange her music, adjust her glasses, and play. All we ask is that she never stop, just play and play! To sum her up is to repeat those famous words which Katty even admits herself, Kind of she ' s nice.

Graduate in โ Irt Y. W. C. A. Cabinet, Secretary and Treasurer of Cotillion Club, As- sistant Editor of Campus Com- ments, Choral Club To say that Micky can draw, is true, but only half-way true. To show how clever she is, it is rumored that Micky ' s first effort in drawing was on a cracked slate. She employed the crack to serve as a streak of lightning. To say that Micky can act is also true, but not quite all. No one makes a better misunder- stood hero than Micky, for she can al- ways make her audience understand and still leave the rest of the cast in total darkness. To say that Micky can sing is a truthful statement, too, as truths run. She sounds like Keith ' s Circuit โ nothing short of it. And Micky can dance. She is often a graceful Spaniard, a noisy dogger, or a Follies ' girl. So the real truth about Micky is that she ' s a talented girl who can draw, act, sing, and dance, and the possessor of a magic pen from which flows a variety of wit and humor. Now, we ask you, can you think of anything Micky can ' t do? We can ' t. L ยฃ-3io {g- yfeS Hg โ , eI- IST ISf-EHi liKBr HELEN LEE MORGAN SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS Graduate in . Irt Cotillion Club, Member of Y. W. C. A. Committee Another Helen. All we need is an- other Troy to destroy in order to show our appreciation โ and a blazing Troy would be but a small estimate of what we think of Helen ' s worth. She is as grace- ful in face and form as her far-famed predecessor. And talented ? I ask you, have you ever seen her dance โ or the studio masterpieces that come from her hand ! Yet we admit there might be others even as gifted as she, but where, oh where can you find such talent coupled with the naivete and artlessness which makes Helen so delightfully artful in gaining our affections? When we see this unique combination elsewhere, we will be convinced. ' Til then โ we might as well be from Missouri. Now I ' m not exaggerating and I have no intention of exaggerating โ such sub- jects as the one I am handling defy ex- aggeration. It is the simple truth that when we want anything done well, wil- lingly, and artistically we go to Helen. And such a thing as a refusal of her aid has never been known. When anything worth while is given at Mary Baldwin there ' s a trace of Helen ' s finger in the pie โ and generally more than a trace. We couldn ' t do without her. EVELYN ORR NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE Graduate in Art Y. W. C. A. Cabinet, Cotillion Club, Choral Club, Joke Editor of Campus Comments Evelyn โ a maiden tall, slender, and beautiful. You picture her instinctively in your imagination a charmingly gra- cious princess in blue velvet and ermine in the days when knighthood was in flower. It is easy to imagine the sun- light streaming through tall lancet win- dows on her wavy hair as she paints the crest on her knight ' s shield. And you wonder if ever lief ore such skill in the fine arts was combined with such beauty. This is Evelyn. Tommy โ a mischevious, harum-scar- um, fascinatingly boyish girl. You pic- ture her instinctively in Oliver Twists with a lollypop ; and grown up as a heart- breaking professor in The Charm School. Tommy, full of pep and high spirits, dashes about the gym, followed by cries of Tommy, may I have the next dance? Tommy, full of youthful brav- ado, stands on one foot on top of the highest step-ladder trying in vain to stretch two yards of crepe paper across the entire length of the gym. Just Tommy. Now if I told you that Evelyn of the castle and Tommy of the gym were one and the same, would you hold up your hands and scream, Impossible! I hate to tax your credulity, fair reader, but Evelyn is Tommy and Tommy is Evelyn, our beautiful scamp, our dignified tom- boy, our queenly urchin. ANNA HARRIET SHEWMAKE Graduate in Expression Y. W. C. A. Cabinet, Choral Club, Cotillion Club, Bluestocking Staff Now, since this Bluestocking is transplanting us to the days of Knight- hood โ here ' s a girl who fits into the plan of things most admirably. Can ' t you imagine her as the fair medieval maiden, tall and stately, smiling down on Lord this and Lord that? Here in this present day world I fear we could hardly get along without her. Anna ' s tall form dancing backwards fifty miles an hour across the gym tloor, Anna playing the Collegiate boy on the stage, Anna a thousand and one other places, amusing us all. Speaking of Anna on the stage โ well, you don ' t know your Mary Baldwin until you ' ve heard her recite. Fine as her work in expression is, it is not there that we shall miss her most. Have you ever noticed how, when the rest of us have a bad case of blues, Anna is still laughing and singing as usual? Then โ here ' s a cup to one of the most popular of Ye Senior Maides. l lucstocKhtg lag in % Ipnandoal} Tfallnj CLASS POEM By Anna Harriet Shewmake When from the hills chill mists melt away And on wings of the dawn comes the traveler, Day In the glory of youth, she flys spirit high, And the mountains, God ' s fingers, point toward the sky. Day has gone, oh, so eagerly, so fast, through the valley, That the heat of the noon makes her tire of the journey; But with rain comes relief and forth she will sally, A little the wiser nor will hurry so madly. She wraps in the cloak of a cloud as she goes And it, the wind blows now open now closed Making the valley first dark and then bright ; But the mountains are steadfast and point to a height ! Can Day reach that height to which they point? With darkness of night comes the dreary doubt Could she attain the summit whose towering peak gave Her strength and courage, and made her scornful of a grave The cloak for the traveler, too heavy to bear With a lingering look, bespeaking despair Day from the west, gives a bright smile, Casts the cloak from her, forgets the long mile. Oh dear twenty-five when in the mountains roaming Whether in the bright or in the dusky gloaming Look not on the ground for Day ' s discarded cloak Look to where God ' s fingers point, and hope From these very mountains you have found The lesson, trust their judgment sound. iBtuestocKtng junior (Hkfis Biatorji i EALLY this task assigned to me would be a good one for Gals- worthy. Isn ' t he the one who wrote about the White Monkey, or something? Now that wasn ' t kind โ but it ' s the fault of the people I ' m writing about. Miss Higgins has told us upon several occasions very fittingly that we all write our own history, so I suggested that the class record their own historical documents, but my offer met with prompt and emphatic refusal. So I have to take all the blame for this. In the first place, my memory is poor and I regret that I can ' t state definitely, as so many of my predecessors have done, that when we arrived we were greeted by Ham and Jam, because it ' s been so long ago that I ' ve forgotten whether they were there or not. Even Jinks Bull, who arrived a year before I did, can ' t re- member ! Sad โ but alas it ' s true ! But enough of this โ I ' ll hie me to the history at hand. Jinks Bull, our ven- erable president, a truly sweet Virginian of the dancing and clever variety, was the first of our hardy band to arrive. She withstood the rigors of our first year, rat week, etc. โ rat week being the most formidable. The next, Tommy Orr and the writer arrived to cast their lots with the many others who came seeking knowledge. Little would you dream, looking at Tommy, t hat she spent the entire first day sitting on a trunk outside her door with her hat and coat on, surrounded by bags and hatboxes and that all of Miss Williamson ' s sympathy and supply of dry hand- kerchiefs at needy intervals, were not sufficient to check her copious tears. Never before or since have I seen any one person weep so abundantly. But we, too, sur- vived the rigor of those first days and the terrible rat week, which I ' m sure lasted weeks, and have lived to sniff condescendingly each year and assure the rats that they got off quite easy, that they should have been here our first year ! Oh, how we longed for that time when we could take our turn at ratting ! Soon that time came and we returned with dire vengeance in our eyes. There came to us then โ although we did not know at that time that they were to be our fellow classmates โ Helen Morgan from Texas but no cowboy, Bonnie Kelly from Florida but no lemon, Louise Bowen, the vamp of West Virginia, Marguerite Hancock, the only one of its kind in captivity, Kat Howard, Mickey Gates โ joy and pep personified, Isabelle Wine, Elizabeth Richardson, and Anna Harriet Shewmake โ a Georgia cracker. Oh my! โ how we delighted in making them work, all unconscious that they would some day, namely, any day, in fact, all days this year, be working as hard as we are for our diplomas. Had we known we migbt have had compassion on them โ who knows? Perhaps it was some subconscious kindred spirit, or something โ whatever it was โ we felt quite smitten with Anna Harriet ' s red hair โ sh ! don ' t let Anna hear that! โ and with Marguerite ' s strikingness, there ' s no such word, but I have to coin one to fit Marguerite. You simply have to see her โ (blush). And we felt curiously drawn to Helen Morgan ' s vivid personality and 1-o-v-e-l-y curly hair. It took us a long time to find out that she could dance โ but when we did โ iwell โ we ' d have her doing a dance of Spring by a little girl throwing roses all the time if she could be persuaded to come out of her modest shell ! It is only rarely that she can be persuaded to show her talent off โ but then, oh my ! But how ' bout the bunch of pep presented to us in the form of Mickey ? There is only one Mickey. She puts on all the clever things that happen โ and she works, oh, so hard ! Versa- tile describes her. Singing, dancing, and mimicking is her long suit โ very clever and sweet! Elizabeth Richardson, well, she sure deserves commendation, whole bushels, she studies ' n ' studies ' n ' studies, and in spite of her paltry dozen studies or so โ she manages to keep her good humor and smile ! Truly we ' re proud of her. And Isabelle Wine โ well, you sure should hear her play a piano. Not very good, would you say? Isabelle is so quiet that we feel we hardly know her. But I ' m willing to bet that under her Mono Lisa expression there is much we are not shown. She ' s mighty sweet, the part of her we do know ! But one look at Bonnie Dee and she ' s an artist to her finger tips ! She has temperament and a lovely sunny disposition reflected in her golden, sunshiny hair. She ' s absolutely a darlin ' and besides playing a piano like Paderewski she sings ! And then Bunnie Bowen, good old Bunnie. Without a doubt she ' s the best-natured girl in school ! She never worries, nothing bothers her! She takes life with a smile โ and she ' s a dear ! She just misses being late every place she goes. And then Kat Howard โ good-looking thing โ black hair and eyes and a come get me look, and they all fall ! She ' ll play the piano in the hall of fame one day โ and I ' ll bet some of the famous ones come to life and do a Highland fling. Then last year Louisa Kochtitzky and Kat Somers appeared before our startled eyes and caused us to open ' em wide. Louisa with her baby face and voice manages to get her way. She can play a piano like nothing human, and cute โ whoo whee ! She sure is plenty of that. Cute and cute-looking โ that ' s a combina- tion hard to beat! She ' s from Mt. Airy, North Carolina. And Kat Somers, well, she ' s one of the cutest girls I know. When Kat wrinkles up her nose, and closes her eyes and laughs โ then everyone has to laugh ! She bubbles over with good humor โ and boy! can she play a piano? Well, not much! They sure all step when she rags in the gym. I mustn ' t forget the members of our illustrious band who are town girls. Kitty Goodloe, who takes all the subjects in school with perfect facility and has time to go to all the dances at all the nearby schools ! She doesn ' t miss a one โ and โ we don ' t know, but we hear she breaks many hearts. Isabel Alvis gets a di- ploma in music, and from what we hear on practise hall she deserves it. I guess her snappy brown eyes serve her well โ and anyway she always gets whole armfuls of red roses from someone every recital. And Nancy Moffett says she ' s given everything for her musical career, but we hear that she has a mighty good time at S. M. A., and more than one of her mysterious absences have been explained by attending dances at nearby colleges. Last year, one happy day, Miss Higgins called us together and we became organized into a mighty proud Junior Class. We were doubly proud because we now are the last class that will graduate from the Junior College department. Right then we planned to give the Seniors of last year quite a sumptuous banquet. Well, our hopes were somewhat dashed, but the Seniors seemed quite pleased. Many interesting speeches were called for by Mickey Gates, who was the charming toastmistress. The response was gratifying. I don ' t think any of us will ever forget that night. It snowed incessantly for hours, but not daunted by the snow, everyone arrived at the Kalorama in evening dress! The Juniors felt their im- portance that year when they were allowed to go to the show some few times when the common herd couldn ' t ! But this year when we came back full-fledged Seniors how proud we were ! We sauntered around with quite the superior air. At last! โ And when we got to our table, well! and the rest of our privileges โ we were a mighty proud class! Proud that Miss Higgins has trusted us as she has. We ' ve seen many good shows and we ' ve been to many movies ! Among the various festivities of the Senior Class are the Charm School presented Thanksgiving night and the Senior Melange presented February twenty-first. The Charm School came off fairly well considering the fact that none of us are actors, that we didn ' t know our lines, and that we were scared to death ! But the audience seemed to like it. Mickey made quite the handsome hero and Jinks Bull didn ' t make such a bad heroine ! Oh, how we worked on that โ and the great relief when it was over! Then the Melange โ no one knows what that means but Miss Stuart, who kindly suggested it, and the Seniors, and I must break down and confess that some of the Seniors aren ' t quite sure ! However, we do know that we expended much time and energy on it. Miss Helen Morgan, the most modest girl in school, quite covered herself with glory. She wrote it all โ she and Jinks โ and planned it ! โ and built scenery and painted! They sure did work! Bunnie and Kat Howard quite covered themselves with glory โ and how their voices rang out and filled the Chapel. Really Hancock and McCollum will certainly have lots to worry about, judging from the thunderous applause. The play, Hearts to Mend, was darling, and it is rumored that there were not many dry eyes in the audience during its performance. The whole affair came off much better than expected, and the โ er โ financial returns, thanks to the hearty co-operation of the student body and teachers, were equally gratifying. All of these things we would never have been able to do without our beloved sponsor, Miss Abbie MacFarland. She ' s been a dear, doing anything and every- thing for us. I ' m sure she is responsible for a good many of our vaunted Senior privileges, as well as for many of our pleasures along other lines. Miss Abbie is so much a part of us and we all love her so that, well โ we couldn ' t get along without her. Oh! how we hate to see the day come when we will get our diplomas and be no longer Mary Baldwin girls ! We ' ve had our fun โ ' and we ' ve played (so much that some of us have serious doubts), but as the time comes for us to go out into the world โ the last of a long line of classes, there are many of us who wish the time wasn ' t quite so near. When we leave the portals of Mary Baldwin our aim is to take some small part of its wonderful spirit in our hearts to guide us through life. โ Mary McCollum. Editor ' s Note : โ Though modesty has prevented in the above a fitting eulogy of the historian, we should be able, with much gusto, to take upon ourselves the task. But it is all very complicated, we must admit ; and so we will merely add our word of praise to the Queen Bud of the rose garden of girls. 1ยฉtucstocktng As GDtlj?rs ii w uHjem 1.

Anyone who can see anything resembling a pleasure resort at Mary Baldwin is gifted with a sublime (bordering on the ridiculous!) sense of humor. But we, like the starving Armenians, claim our right to our Life Saving Station to resuscitate our famine-stricken members. And our three stalwart life guards! Long ere this should their breasts have been decorated with a shining Carnegie. Let me but paint a picture of their ever-ready wit and daring heroism. Into the Life Saving Station (in the vernacular, The Store ) two girls are seen bringing in a poor, starved thing on an improvised โ from a washstand screen โ stretcher. (The motto of our guards in such severe cases is never give up under forty-eight hours โ While there ' s โ a pretzel โ there ' s hope. The unfortunate is de- posited on the floor. Ragan, Ragan, wailed the grief-stricken Margie, help me. Poor Kathleen is in a terrible condition โ poking her emaciated ribs โ that inconsiderate Miss Myer rang the bell when she was only on her fifth roll. Poor, starved Kathleen. What โ ? The Captain of the guards lifted the emaciated wrist and, weighing her words like the Del- phinian Oracle, spoke : In such a strikingly severe case of malnutrition, naught less than nine boxes of Lornas will resuscitate the victim. Oh, I ask you, unprejudiced reader, should such sagacious advice, such heroism (space will not permit an example) go unrewarded? Y. W. C. A. 1ยฉtucstocKtng WvdB ' xbe Mark Once a little neglected mountain school at the crossing of two mountain roads, at the foot of beautiful hills in the narrow valley of the Linville River, one of nature ' s most pic- turesque spots. A spot, too, where the very sturdiest of this pure American stock, with a rarely large sprinkling of God ' s noblemen had lived their simple lives in rude huts, tilled their ricky hills and felled their giant trees, filling other ' s coffers, themselves making scant progress towards acquiring the simplest comforts of life. Here in this dilapidated school house, closely resembling an old blacksmith shop, the boys and girls of this splendid people got their only ' schooling. ' Things are different now. Crossnore waked up. Someone pointed the way, and with wonderful spirit for such isolated people, they put their shoulders to the wheel and pushed that little school up the hill Now the new school is modern in every way. And old clothes have done it all ! There is no better description than this of the Crossnore school, in which the Y. W. C. A. of Mary Baldwin has taken so much interest for the past few years. Our old clothes have helped build this school. But the Y. W. C. A. is interested in more than old clothes. For the past two years the Y. W. C. A. has been sending a girl to Crossnore. None of the people there have enough money to worry about income taxes, and naturally they cannot afford to send their children to school. The first pupil whose tuition we paid was a girl. No investment has ever paid better dividends. She had to come eight miles to school, three miles she rode and five miles she walked. Such ambition made splendid grades, and when she graduated she was Valedictorian of her class. She is now working her way through North Carolina College for Women. This year we sent another girl. This is her first year, and from the good beginning that she has made, we feel sure that her final record will rival our first girl. The Y. W. C. A. has interests nearer home, also. We help the Colored Orphanage a few miles out of Staunton. Money, toys, and clothes are sent to them, to say nothing of the good things to eat. They are remembered Thanksgiving with a gift of chickens. Christmas is made brighter for them by our toys and clothes. Then we have our Christmas families. Each year at Christmas time, we adopt two large families for that season, who ordinarily would have no Christmas. Each member of the Cabinet sends gifts to one of the children, and with the money left over, the whole family is sent a huge basket of food, the kind that is most enjoyed at Christmas. The gifts are wrapped with much ceremony, and the day before Christmas, Miss Fannie Strauss distributes them. This Playing Santa Claus gives the Cabinet more pleasure than almost anything else during the entire year. An old lady at the poor house is also remembered each year with some gift that would add to her comfort and happiness. This work has been going on for several years, and we hope that we have made them such good customs that the future Y. W. C. A. Cabinets will carry them on and develop them further and enjoy them as much as we have. 3 hยซ ocKtng Sepr?B? tttatiw iHwtmga of tlj? $. 31. 01. A.

By we I mean the members of the Dog Club. We were three. President Hamlet, Vice-President Jamlet, and yours truly, Secretary Confuzzius Dodge Morse (more often shortened to Fuzzy, to which silly name I am forced to answer). We organized our little club for the sole purpose of filling a blank page in the 1924 Bluestocking, and since that time we have striven to uphold the tradition. But now โ now, we are loath to confess, our exclusiveness has been rudely shattered by the unwelcomed advent of fifteen or more new members, and the aristocracy โ well, there isn ' t any more ! Look upon our noble brows and then glance at the blank impossible faces of our ungainly initiates. No character, no sense of propriety, and worst of all, no pedigree! We have been coerced into accepting into an organization of high repute and established standards, an overwhelming number of frivolous curs (if you will pardon the expression) with no other purpose or ambition in life than to stand on four wobbly legs and look from the corners of their eyes as much as to say, who are the most pop- ular canines in this school? Ugh! Ugh! They really give me a very painful sensation in a most sensitive spot in my anatomy. Now I ask you, reader, is it fair, is it just that we, who have lived our lives at the Mary Baldwin in service for others, and who have given to the school our guardianship through so many decades, should be cast aside in favor of these despisable pups? We do not wish to seem snobbish but after talking it over with my two friends (Hamlet and Jamlet, of course!) we have come to the inevitable conclusion that although we must by force (not preference) continue to associate with our fellowmembers (how repulsive that name is to me!) we shall always feel our- selves apart, and desire that the world should consider us so. The initiation fee of all new members this year will go to- ward a new coat of paint for Hamlet and Jamlet and a fresh pink ribbon bow to grace my own humble neck. โ Confuzzius Dodge Morse. tTC.C.

Late in the fall she talked things over with Harriette McLain, wh om she asked to edit it, and together they selected a staff. Mickey dates has proved an invaluable assistant editor, while Janice Wilmeth ' s articles have been, if not the backbone, at least half the vertabrae of the little paper, and because any paper is dry as dirt without jokes and cuts, Tommie Orr was delegated to look after that department. The result was the publication of the first issue on December fifteenth. A new thing at Mary Baldwin is about as safe a project as Columbus ' s little excursion across the Atlantic in 1492. Realizing this, after the holidays the staff cinched the financial end of Comments before any more issues were given out. Since then sailing has been comparatively smooth. As 1 have said, the little paper is hardly more than a project, but it has at least justified its right to existence. As the college grows, we hope that Comments may expand and broaden with it until it one day covers the same scope as the dailies of the larger colleges. With the proper care, it will โ and the best wishes of the present staff are with those who in the future will see it through the formative stages of its, I hope, long career.

Booker Fitz Hugh was, as a matter of fact, called an artist for the same reason that every Kentucky gentleman who has sixty years and a white mustache to his credit is called Colonel. Yet Booker had truly artistic leanings and a passionate love of the beautiful that was a little ludicrous to us who knew him best. As Billy Starks used to say, We might hang around art galleries all day and go coo-coo over a fool landscape โ if we had ole Booker ' s money. Which unkind and rather ungrammatical remark may explain my cynicism when Booker burst into my office with the astonishing information that he was the happiest man in the world. He must have come straight from the steamer, for he had his traveling case with him and odds and ends were protruding from it where they had been stuffed in by hasty customs officers. To say that Booker burst into my office is not too much; he had caught my hand and nearly crushed it in his impulsive grasp before my mind registered the fact that he was there. When you could have sworn that a man was in Madrid mooning around Velasquez and Murillo, to have that particular man suddenly turn up in New York and proclaim himself the happiest one in the worldโ well, it ' s a bit of a shock. But my quick perceptions, upon which I really pride myself, grasped the situation sufficiently to ask his name. The irony of the question was as completely wasted on his beatific mood as poisoned arrows on the steely sides of the latest super-dreadnaught : it merely started him on a lengthy discourse that began with eyes like the sea and sky, and ended with hair made of the soft outer petals of jonquils; and in be- tween he said all the trite, inane things that youths โ especially if artistic โ will say to the end of time. I learned that this Alice had embarked at Lisbon, and that her eyes, and phos- phorus-tipped waves and a tropical moon, had fairly finished my poor Booker before Spain was far behind them. It ' s the most perfect stretch of ocean, Booker said, and of course he quoted poetry about it : Do you remember a poem you learned in school, about Columbus ? ' Behind him lay the gray Azores โ Behind, the gates of Hercules ; Before him not a ghost of shores, Before him only shoreless seas. ' Quite naturally I began to be bored, and as he was far above noticing earthly things I frankly returned to the brief I had been reading. At length, a sentence penetrated to my preoccupied brain and, like an alarm, jangled there till I awoke to what he was saying. So you see, Horace โ this was the gist of his words โ why I preferred not to ask her, on the steamer, to be my wife. I was so afraid that she might not really be sure. Of course, he added hastily, I have been sure from the moment I saw her and every moment since has only made me surer that I loved her. She left New York on the first train, Horace, and I have bought a ticket on the train that leaves tonight, so this visit to you is to say both hello and goodbye. When you see me again I will be an engaged man and an even happier one, if possible, than I am now. I must go so soon because โ and here that fatal artistic nature again asserted itself โ because I want to ask her while it is still spring in her Southern home; for not for worlds would I miss seeing her surrounded by the spring flowers. I should have let him go his ways, while I remained diligently pursuing the task of a hard-working lawyer. That I did not was due entirely to pity. You who do not know BooKer cannot comprehend his collosal innocence and helpless- ness, his childish idealism of all that is physically beautiful. Why, I remember hearing him say once that Leonardo did beautiful woman an injustice in handing down to future generations the portrait of Mina Lisa ; such a woman, he was sure, was a rara avis if, indeed, she ever existed. Peculiar point of view for a grown man, eh ? And he hated physical ugliness or ungainliness with as sincere a passion as he loved charm and beauty. With it all, he is such an infant ! This being Booker ' s nature, my first idea was to go with him and if possible effect a rescue from the unknown siren who awaited him somewhere in the South. My poor Booker was overcome with pleasure at my wanting to go with him ; I suppose he took it as a tribute to his Alice that I should be willing to travel so far to see her. So happy was he because of. my interest in her that he chattered incessantly from the time we boarded the train until we rang Alice ' s doorbell. Then, of a sudden, he ceased through very awe. Before we reached Philadelphia I knew enough about Alice to make out her insurance blank. Sleep being out of the question for Booker, it was likewise out of the question for me. Horace, he told me during the trip, I understand exactly how you felt when you first met Jane. That was almost too much. But of course he had been abroad too long to have heard of our divorce ; therefore I said nothing. When we changed cars at Washington he stopped to wire Alice that we were on our way ; I had hoped that we might arrive unannounced and find her in curl papers, or whatever women wear when not expecting male callers. Such a sight would, I felt sure, knock the romantic wind out of Booker ' s sails. Unfortunately, the telegram reached her and she was waiting for us when, worn out and dusty from our trip, we rang the bell of a shabbily genteel old house where, Booker ex- iT3 Itfhe o plained, she lived with an elderly uncle. She did seem sweet and gracious, a little shy, and oh, so glad to see Booker; but I, remembering how sweet and shy Jane had once seemed, was wary of woman and all her ways. This particular woman was just the one I would have expected Booker to make a fool of himself over โ perfect to the eye, and just small and helpless enough to make a man fancy himself her big, strong protector. At dinner that evening she was lovely in the soft light, lovely and radiant and fragilely beautiful. He actually had the audacity to hold her hand under the table-cloth, and I, crabbed and middle-aged cynic that I am, was near to condoning his folly until I thought of Jane and my own wretched marriage. That he did not propose to the girl that night and so upset my still unmade plans for his salvation was due to a blessed cloudburst that kept them from going out into the garden; for, while I might have lacked the nerve to follow them thither, I was not above staying with them in the library. Poor Booker ! He did not have her to himself for a moment, and her uncle โ one of those innumerable colonels aforementioned โ told civil war stories all evening .... Solomon, or some other sage, was once heard to remark that all things come to him who waits; but I, who am a mere lawyer, must admit that my astounding good fortune was not deserved by any patience of mine. Rather it was because, growing more impatient as the Colonel ' s reminiscences grew more tiresome, I dragged the reluctant Booker off to bed early. The first thing I noticed when we entered his room was a little white shelf adorned with a row of somewhat shabby books, and it is quite characteristic of fate that although for twenty-four hours I had been wracking my brains in vain for some means to bring Booker to his senses, the actual finding of the family album was due to an impulse to forget my problems and his in a good story. The thing was on the end of the shelf and I could not miss it if I would ; and once found, Booker ' s interest in all connected with Alice made him devour the faded prints with eager interest, while I looked on half bored by the daguerro- types of prim little boys and girls, of upholstered ladies, and of bewhiskered gen- tlemen. At last a face caught my eye and Booker sat as if in a trance for sheer joy in looking at it. It was Alice ' s face โ almost โ but the soft hair was worn in a big pompadour and the gown beneath was a quaint little tight, old-fashioned thing; the face was almost Alice ' s, but even more vivid, more scintillant than hers. There was the same adorable air of littleness and helplessness that I had noticed in the face of the girl downstairs. The name below was Alice ' s own with the ad- ditional information: On the day of her marriage, 1901 โ the child ' s mother, of course, and how much alike they were! At last Booker continued his pilgrimage through the musty pages. After half a dozen photographs of more aunts and cousins there was a large one of a woman with a little girl : the little girl Alice her- self; the woman, if the name below spoke true, that same sweet little bride of a few pages back. But โ oh! poor, beauty-loving Booker โ in this picture she was fat, fat to pudginess, fat to enormousness, and her helpless, childish face was no less than ridiculous, encased as it was in rolls of flesh. And she had looked just like Alice. I could have crowed with glee when I saw Booker ' s face. To marry a girl with the practical certainty before him of seeing her grow more like the second picture every day โ that, I knew, would have been agony to his artistic soul. Be- lieve me when I say that I am not by nature a cruel man ; but I did not feel much pity for him. Better this now, I felt, than that the boy should suffer as I had suffered. I do not suppose that Booker slept that night. I left him, and not a word had passed between us since we entered his room. His mind was surprisingly direct: he awoke me next morning to say, rather hoarsely, that we were to leave im- mediately. When we went downstairs, dressed for the trip, we found a very radiant little Alice waiting to take us to breakfast. Booker felt unspeakably caddish and could not look at her as he murmured something about sudden busi- ness that called us away โ the first time in his simple, easy life, I would wager, that there had ever been need for him to lie. Poor little girl ! Of course she knew that something was wrong, but she tried hard to wink back the tears as she watched him ' phone for a taxi. As we were leaving, Goodbye, said Alice courteously. We are more than , sorry that you have to go back so soon. And she smiled a little uncertain smile that was meant to show that she did not really care. When at last we were safe in the taxi I sang a little private paean of thanks- giving to gods who had saved Booker almost without my help. As the taxi rounded the corner I turned to look back, and was just in time to see a little tense figure turn from the gate and run, half-stumbling, into the house. Then I almost wished โ and could have kicked myself for almost wishing โ that we had not found the old album; but any mortal who looks back is a fool, and Lot ' s wife is not the only one that has been punished for it. Would that I could add as a moral, O Reader, that Booker left that house a sadder and wiser man. That might at least teach, for its lesson, the value of ex- perience. But although he was sadder, no doubt, as for being any wiser โ he left me before we reached Washington to catch a train back to Alice, and I hear that the marriage was within the week. It may have been because of an irresistible memory of the sea near Spain, a scarf that matched it and eyes that matched both; yes, it may have been that, but I am inclined to think โ and this thought is my punishment for looking back as our taxi turned the corner โ that Booker was not such a fool after all ; I am inclined to think that perhaps โ only perhaps โ it was because of something that Jane and I never had, Love, the kind of Love that cares not whether its object be fat or thin or homely or beautiful, the kind of love that should be spelt with a big L.

And what we had glimpsed in fragments We now perceive as the whole. For they blind not to suffering and sorrow That human hearts oppress ; Rut they show the remedy also, Or the deeper blessedness.

The first contest of the season was the baseball game, won by the Whites. It was not a particularly scientific performance if judged by the standards of the Giants, but good fun. Basketball was quite another matter. Many endured weeks of hard practice which included Training-table and it was a real achieve- ment to be chosen for the teams. The games between all teams were sharply contested and brough t out some excellent team work. The second teams were es- pecially good. They played a snappy game and by giving stiff practice to the firsts, derived much benefit for themselves. The Whites, as this year ' s vic- tors, were hostesses at the annual basketball banquet held on March the twelfth. The Athletic Council is awarding gold basketballs to all those who were on the first teams, both Yellows and Whites. The Monogram Club means especial athletic distinction. To be eligible for membership one must make one or more of the following records : ( 1 ) Member of first teamโ Basketball and Hockey; (2) Highest individual record in each track event; (3) Winner first place in tennis tournament, Yellow and White ; (4) Letters for completing Hike Club mileage two years in succession. There are so far seven in the Monogram Club with new members to be taken in before the close of the year. The Hiking Club by the way, has been a joy to many. The only require- ments for admission are a love of the great out-doors, and a pair of low heeled stout oxfords. (The latter statement will have a familiar sound to many.) The first girls to accomplish the total mileage are Maurine Tully, Janet Stockton, Coyce Wright, Eleanor Hubert, and Jean Scott. There remains much to be done before we close our year โ a gymnastic exhibition, hockey, track, tennis tournament, and the grand finale, the com- mencement pageant. The Athletic Council is here given well merited approval for the example shown by its five hard-working members. It had accomplished a grand improve- ment in Athletic Standards, and its co-operation has been a constant encourage- ment to the Athletic director. Much is hoped for in our next year ' s athletics. We ask continual interest from the student body to make all our activities bigger and better. Let ' s all pull together ! โ Margaret Seymore Beckwith.

And they have borne something with them, a link connecting them with us. To three schools in particular our interest goes. Not only from the fact that by their money the students of Mary Baldwin aid in the support of these, are they so peculiarly our own. For Mary Baldwin has given of her money, of her influence, she has given her daughters, and a portion or double portion of her spirit. Mrs. Bull Founder of Mary Baldwin School in Korea THE MARY BALDWIN SCHOOL FOR GIRLS, KUNSAN, KOREA The Mary Baldwin School for Girls, Korea The Mary Baldwin School for Girls at Kunsan, Korea, is known throughout the country of Korea. It is built on a beautiful, quiet spot of the Mission compound on the side of a hill overlooking the broad river which flows into the Yellow Sea. The building is of gray brick and stone. Though built in 1912, it is in fine condition and makes a most comfortable home for the school. The school compound is surrounded by a stone wall so as to make the grounds more private for the girls. In the yard there is another small tile-roofed Korean building which is used as a dormitory. In the basement of the main buildin are the kitchen and laundry. On the first floor there are four dormitories on one side and the dining-room and two bed-rooms on the other. On the second floor there are five class-rooms and the office. Many young girls have gone out from this school and have carried the Christian religion into villages where Christ was unknown. The daughters of our Christian constituency find in this school a place to pursue their studies where their Christian characters can be built up. As it is the alumna? of Mary Baldwin Seminary who have made this school possible, as it is the determination and devotion of one particular Mary Baldwin woman, Mrs. Libby Alby Bull, that has made the school what it is, we see that the sun never sets on the activities of Mary Baldwin women, and our hearts should be glad. The school needs your help. Remember, this is your school. We are hoping that the Mary Baldwin School in Korea will mean to that country what the Mary Baldwin Seminary has meant to our Southland. THE MARTHA D. KIDDLE SCHOOL AT HWAIANFU, CHINA ' Our shadow-selves, our influenc where we can iicut be. Miss Martha my fall Miss Martha Riddle, once teacher of history at Mary Baldwin, has many memorials. In the hearts of women who were her jiupils is the image of a queenly woman, with that gentle- ness of dignity which inspires respect. And not respect alone : We wanted to do our best, writes one, for we loved Miss Martha. She was always a careful teacher; the hard parts were never slighted by instructress or pupil; Miss Kiddle explained step by step, clearly, and seemed to breathe some of her own earnestness into the others. They never forgot. It is no wonder her girls want to honor her memory wherever they go. Such beautiful Christian character is bound to leave its impress upon all whom it touches. And so they remember. Some have done even better. Not only did they carry away her image, but her inspiration. Far away in old China stands the Martha Kid- dle School. In 1916 this school was established at Hwaianfu to minister to the needs of the Chinese girls. Miss Lily Woods, a former Mary Baldwin girl, was placed in charge. And what better name could she and her Mary Baldwin associates give to it than that which spelled for them so much of high ideal and inspiration โ Martha Kiddle. The Martha D. Riddle School in China 5J ยง !8h O aty THE CHARLOTTE KEMPER SEMINARY AT LAVRAS, BRAZIL MISS CHARLOTTE KEMPER, FRIEND AND INSPIRER OF YOUTH (A tribute) Born in Virginia, eighty-seven years ago, Miss Kemper has enjoyed the rare distinction of having made her impress for good on the youth of two continents. She pointed them to brighter worlds and led the way. As beloved teacher and friend, for twelve years at Mary Baldwin, she came into close and constant touch with hundreds of the choicest spirits of our country ' s young woman- hood ; and for twelve years, with hands di- vinely guided and deft, with ideals born from above, she aided in shaping the lives and moulding the character of those who have since become the mothers and grandmothers of multitudes of the fairest and noblest daugh- ters of Virginia and the Southland. When she had thus served in the homeland, she had a vision of another continent ' s needs. In obedience to the Master ' s command, and in full harmony with His spirit and His motives, she sailed for Brazil in 1882. First at Cam- pinas and later at Lavras, she has served in the same spirit of devotion. For forty-three years now her gifts of mind and heart have been de- voted unstintedly to building up the young manhood and the young womanhood of the land of the Pedros. Hundreds of them, pass- ing through her classes, have felt the touch of her life and have gained inspiration for their own. In the class-room and in the privacy of her study; by the printed page and by the fair pages of her life and character โ epistles known and read of multitudes, she has wrought beauty, symmetry and strength into the lives of boys and of girls, of men and of women. There is probably not a State in the vast Republic of Brazil where her name is not known and revered by some who have felt the uplifting touch of her life and service. Thousands at home and abroad who have known her but to love and admire her, who have touched her life but to feel its noble upward urge toward eternal things will, in that day, rise up and call her blessed, and even now they pray Let us follow her as she fol- lowed her Lord. Miss Charlotte Kemper For Twelve Years Teacher at the Mary Baldwin Seminary A (tatb And did not dream it was a dream. Rev. Rufus W. Bailey Founder of Augusta Female Seminary A (Enllrge in ilie Jflakinn, ' Study the past if you would divine the future. TAUNTON can truly boast of scenic beauty, of historical pres- tige, and of being one of the early southern educational centers. Very early in the nineteenth century, history tells us that a num- ber of schools, intimately associated with the Presbyterian Church, were conducted in Staunton. Into a fair land of chivalry and old domain came Reverend Rufus W. Bailey in 1842 seeking to establish a school for girls and young women of the South and West. Why Mr. Bailey thought of founding a school in Staunton is not in the records of history. Undoubtedly a man of his ability saw that the natural position of Staunton made it the logical site for an institution of learning west of the Blue Ridge mountains. Although Mr. Bailey was a native of Maine he had spent much time in South Carolina, before coming to Staunton. After making the acquaintance of a group of prominent men in Staunton and Augusta County โ ministers and members of the Presbyterian Church โ he suggested to them the founding of an educational institution, to afford the means of a thorough literary and Christian education to the young women of the South. His suggestion was cordially received. Ac- cordingly, in August, 1842, a constitution for the Augusta Female Seminary was adopted, a Board of Trustees was elected, and Mr. Bailey was made the first principal. He served in that capacity seven years. The first charter was issued by the Legislature of Virginia in 1845. The school, opened during the fall of 1842, held its first session in a frame building, not connected with the present site. The number of pupils and the suc- cess during its first year appeared to be of prophetic import. Among the pupils, who numbered sixty tint year, was one, Miss Mary Julia Baldwin, destined to be vitally connected with the institution. At the first annual meeting of the Board of Trustees in the spring of 1843, a financial committee was appointed, and a few days later, among other reports, suggested to the Board that they proceed to devise the ways and means for the creation of a suitable Seminary building and that the building be erected on the lot of the Presbyterian Church in Staunton, on such terms as the Trustees of the two institutions might agree upon. The corner-stone of the first Seminary building โ still the central part of Main Building โ was laid with appropriate ceremonies in June, 1844, the end of the second scholastic year. It is not strange that the institution has stood for the highest Christian virtues, and has had an enviable record when one reads that in the corner-stone was deposited a copy of the Bible enclosed in oil silk with the mY3 ยฃh fc 1ยฉtucstocKttt superscription : ' The only Rule of Faith and the first textbook of the Augusta Female Seminary. ' At some time before 1846 the building was occupied. Mr. Bailey ' s successful administration lasted until 1849. When he left Staunton, the congregation of the Presbyterian Church presented him with a silver service in appreciation of the valuable work he had done in the community. He not only founded the Seminary, but it was upon his suggestion and under his leadership that the present Presbyterian Manse was built. The two big monu- mental deeds of Mr. Bailey are being united now, as Fortune is directing the Manse into the possession of the Seminary. Mr. Bailey was an author as well as an educator and minister. The Scholar ' s Companion and Talk to Girls are among his literary works. There are many worthy descendants of Mr. Bailey in this and other states. One of his grandsons, Doctor H. P. Campbell, is Dean of Washington and Lee University; another, Rev. R. F. Campbell, D. D., is pastor of the influential First Presbyterian Church of Asheville, North Carolina. One of the proud possessions of The Mary Bald- win is Mr. Bailey ' s portrait which hangs on the parlor walls. Mr. Bailey was followed by five men as principals, whose administrations were in many ways auspicious. During this period, however, the Seminary was confronted with financial difficulties, but being under the shadow of the Presby- terian Church it received substantial help from leading Christian men in the com- munity. It was during that same period, nevertheless, that the growth in the number of students necessitated the adding of both wings of Main Building. Upon Mr. Bailey ' s resignation in 1849 Reverend Samuel Matthews became prin- cipal and served for one year. Reverend William G. Campbell was elected prin- cipal for the next year, but apparently served only half the term. In 1851 Rever- end William B. Brown was made principal and served successfully until his resignation in 1856. The next principal was Mr. William H. Marquis, who served one year, 1856-1857. Mr. John B. Tinsley, the last of the line of male principals, followed Mr. Marquis and kept the school opened during the battle- years of 1861-1863. The last two years of Mr. Tinsley ' s principalship did not foretell a bright future. Within those war-years the number of boarders was greatly reduced and their places were filled with refugees. On the whole, the Seminary under the direction of the six men of God, had a successful career the first twenty-one years of its existence, but at the end of their regime in 1863 there appeared no rosy cloud on the horizon. When the tragedies and disasters of war were at their flood-tide, Miss Mary Tulia Baldwin, a native of Staunton, was induced to serve the school as principal, and her friend Miss Agnes McClung, to serve as matron and house-keeper. It was under Miss Baldwin ' s guidance that the philosopher ' s stone to success was polished, and the future greatness of the school was made a certainty. In a peculiar way is the Mary Baldwin School for girls a woman ' s school. h 1ยฉluestocRtn$ The Seminary most fully realized itself under the leadership of three remarkable women โ Miss Mary Julia Baldwin, Miss Ella C. Weimar, and Miss Marianna P. Higgins โ who, through their administration of sixty-one years, have pointed the way to true womanhood and to high ideals, and have conducted the youth to the source of wisdom and right thinking โ who perfected and perpetuated the spirit of the school ! Truly, Mary Baldwin is a school Of Women, By Women, and For Women. It was due to Mr. Joseph Addison Waddell ' s keen insight that the services of Miss Baldwin and those of her friend, Miss McClung, were secured. Mr. Wad- dell, a personal friend of Miss Baldwin ' s, had observed her unselfish life, her lofty character, her intellectual endowment, and her administrative capacity. Neither did he doubt Miss McClung ' s ability to manage the department for which she was suggested. Due to their modesty and to their sensibility of the obligations em- bodied in such a trust, they both were inclined to reject Mr. Waddell ' s offer. But when the Board of Trustees elected them, they accepted their trust. Mr. Waddell, for fifty-five years Secretary of the Board of Trustees, was a devoted friend of the school and an ardent worker for its success. In his history of the school he gives a graphic picture of the difficulties encountered by the joint-principals, as Miss Baldwin and Miss McClung were often termed. No man would have had the courage or fortitude to start under such circumstances as they did. The Seminary was almost entirely stripped of furniture: there was scarcely even enough to furnish the bed-rooms of the principals, who resorted to the expedient of borrowing from their friends. When a boarder was entered, all necessary chamber and table furniture had to be borrowed. On the opening day in October, 1863, fifty-five day pupils and twenty-two boarders were enrolled โ probably a larger number than in any preceding session. But Miss Baldwin ' s financial problems during the war were real ones, for cur- rency had greatly depreciated. Exhibiting her marked characteristic of common sense she stipulated that as far as possible the payments for board and tuition should be made in country produce โ flour, corn, meats, butter, poultry, eggs, vegetables, etc. With the faculty of a true educator, she had the capacity to look through every other man with sharp inspection, and consequently she made no mistake in choosing the teachers to whom she looked for the establishing of the high scholastic standards, for which the school has ever stood. Then, when institutions of higher learning for women were rare, was Mary Baldwin second to none in the South. In 1880, upon the death of Miss McClung, Miss Baldwin lost a sympathetic and safe counselor. Miss McClung ' s place was partially filled by Miss Baldwin ' s aunt, Miss Heiskell. Miss Baldwin, in 1889, feeling the need of an assistant, asked the Trustees for the services of Miss Ella C. Weimar, who continued as Memorial Window assistant-principal during the remainder of Miss Baldwin ' s life. After thirty-four years of efficient and loving service, Miss Baldwin died in 1897, in her sixty- eighth year. Miss Baldwin, one of the first woman educators of the South, spent her entire li fe in Staunton. It was her genius which made the Seminary ' s walls rise and her philanthropy which gave it a permanent endowment. But Mr. Armistead C. Gordon in his Brief Memoir of Miss Baldwin gives us the true secret of her power. Her religious faith was very great, and to this faith, even more than to her valiant spirit, her unusual ability, and her indomitable will, the triumphant accomplishment of her mission in life is attributable. The high appreciation which the Trustees had of Miss Baldwin ' s services was substantially shown, when in 1895, two years before her death, they requested the Legislature of Virginia to change the name of The Augusta Female Seminary to The Mary Baldwin Seminary. Through the mists of the years, and the darkness of distance, the Alumnae, scattered abroad through our United States and in foreign lands, did not cease to remember the virtues of Miss Baldwin. Accordingly, in 1901, they unveiled a window in the Chapel as a monument that will preserve the memory of one whom all delight to honor. There, true stories of her breadth of vision, of her warm and tender sympathy, of her earnest Christian life are told in stained glass. Upon Miss Baldwin ' s death in 1897, Miss Ella C. Weimar, teacher in the in- stitution from 1873-1875, and assistant-principal from 1889-1897, was elected principal of the Seminary, by the Trustees. Miss Weimar received the mantle from Miss Baldwin, and with the torch of progress well ignited, marched steadily forward. But hers was not a path of velvety grass. There were rocks and pebbles and holes and plenty of obstructions ; but only those intimately connected with the Seminary knew of them. The test of greatness is to surmount all diffi- culties, and this Miss Weimar did to a high degree. A character that is closely associated with the external progress of the insti- tution is that of Mr. William Wayt King. Mr. King, the successful business manager of Mary Baldwin, has had the longest term of service of any of the pres- ent officers. It was in the year 1890 that he came to Mary Baldwin as secretary to Miss Baldwin, and since that time his services have become essential to the wel- fare and prosperity of the school. When Miss Baldwin died in 1899 and Miss Weimar was elected her successor, Mr. King was elected business manager. This official duty he has performed so sagaciously and competently for over a quarter of a century, that when the Trustees transformed the Seminary into the College, it was to Mr. King that they turned for help in business affairs. But Mr. King is not only lauded for his dexterous management of economic resources, but for bis armament of Christian manhood and faith. To this quality may be attributed his success in matters material, and the cheer and happiness which he spreads abroad. It was during Miss Weimar ' s administration that many of the Mary Baldwin buildings assumed the contours that they still possess. It is ever a source of won- der how the modest group of buildings extended up the unpromising hillside and grew to such proportions, and yet maintained unity and beauty. Because Miss Weimar, and the efficient business manager, Mr. King, realized that the best things of this world are not to be produced by each generation for itself, the Mary Bald- win has a goodly heritage. It is because they carved their work on the solid rock that the present generation can climb higher and higher along the Alps of human power. In February before her resignation, Miss Weimar had the pleasure of seeing the honored Seminary recognized as a Junior College. After a total connection of about thirty years with the school, Miss Weimar resigned in June, 1916. Her administration was characterized by remarkable growth and expansion. To promote the highest intellectual development, Miss Weimar, as well as former principals, carefully selected efficient instructors of keen mental power and of high character. The temptation to pause and review for a moment a few of the outstanding members of the faculty is overpowering. Foremost is the name of Miss Martha D. Riddle, for more than thirty years instructor of history at Mary Baldwin. Such an indelible stamp did Miss Riddle leave on Mary Baldwin and those under her instruction, that her devoted admirers have perpetrated her name and Christian ideals in The Martha Riddle School in China. Miss Charlotte Kemper, ever manifesting affectionate regard for the institution in which she taught for twelve years, was so successful in her work in Brazil that there the ideals of Mary Baldwin are embodied in The Charlotte Kemper School. But also many brilliant daughters have gone forth from these walls to various fields of usefulness. Some have gone as principals and heads of schools and col- leges ; some as missionaries to foreign lands. Thus the sun never sets on the ideals and standards of Mary Baldwin ; yea, the name of Mary Baldwin resounds in Korea in the Mary Baldwin school in Korea, organized and developed by one of the alumnse, Mrs. Libby Alby Bull. With all of this splendid work The Mary Baldwin had not particularly adapted itself to the new movement which was becoming prevalent early in the twentieth century, of preparing girls for colleges. Seven years before Miss Weimar ' s resignation as principal of Mary Baldwin Seminary, Miss Marianna P. Higgins came to the school as an instructor in English. Miss Weimar, recognizing Miss Higgins ' ability, gave her the opportunity of re-organizing the preparatory English along modern standards. This task was efficiently done and the work in the preparatory and collegiate departments was clearly defined. So successful was the plan that other departments gradually adapted themselves to the modern standards of organization. The classification of Mary Baldwin as a Junior Col- lege by the State Board of Education in 1916, was only a recognition of the fact that the Seminary had organized its curriculum according to the present criterion. Upon Miss Weimar ' s resignation in 1916, Miss Higgins was elected princi- pal by the Board. Perhaps externally there have been few changes, but inwardly, due to Miss Higgins ' efforts and efficiency, the Seminary strode proudly forward. If progress were certain, there would be little honor in attaining it. Great honor should be accorded to those responsible for retaining the well-defined group of ideals and thoroughness of education for which Mary Baldwin has ever stood, and yet organizing the curriculum and adjusting the details of routine to fit the age. Then the period of adjustment necessarily following a war is not an easy problem for the individual, the institution, or the nation. Miss Higgins discreetly guided the Seminary through that critical period, saving and strengthening all that Mary Baldwin represented. Hardly were the scars of war invisible, when into the inter- nal organization of the school was injected the college movement in 1922 โ a me- morable year for Mary Baldwin! Welcome as the yยฐ un g child is, it has never- theless, added much of anxiety and of complication to the administrator ' s prob- lems. But at every turn has Miss Higgins offered the proper and best solution of perplexing situations. We have taken such a panoramic view Across the Yea rs, because the future is purchased by the present, and the present is the living sum-total of the past. In 1922, The Board of Trustees, realizing that progress was the law of life, lytucstocKtng and remembering that expansion and growth marked Miss Baldwin ' s philosophy, took the supreme step and created a college on the Seminary ' s foundation, deter- mining that they would make it a worthy expression of Miss Baldwin ' s Spirit. The new charter provided for the Seminary or preparatory school which will com- memorate her achievement and the college which will manifest her animating principle. Because of the close affiliation throughout the past of the Seminary with the Presbyterian Church, it was but a small matter to have the Board of Trustees which control both institutions selected by the Synod of Virginia. The past proclaims the future. Had there been no Augusta Female Seminary, there would have been no M ary Baldwin Seminary; had there been no Mary Baldwin Seminary there would have been no Mary Baldwin College. In the organization necessary for a college, The Reverend A. M. Fraser, D. D., L. L. D., pastor of The First Presbyterian Church of Staunton, member of the Board of Trustees of Mary Baldwin for thirty-two years and President of the Board for sixteen years, was elected President ; Miss Marianna P. Hig- gins, Dean of the College and Principal of the Seminary, and Mr. William Wayt King, Business Manager. During the period of his entire connection with the school, Doctor Fraser has rendered able and devoted service. Now he is bending all his energy and power to the accomplishment of a magnificent project destined to make The Mary Baldwin a leader among southern colleges. It is no i dle boast that future generations will consider Doctor Fraser and Miss Higgins the . . . . fair beginners of a nobler time, Who came from out a mountain cleft And built it to the music of their sacred harps. They have the ability for the task. They have lived and labored so that what came to them as seed might go to the next generation as blossom, and what came to them as blossom, will pass on as fruit. The future is a world limited only by our vision. Thus far a clear and far- seeing vision has guided the College. A site, consisting of two hundred and fifteen acres, one mile from Staunton on the Lee National Highway, and commanding a fine view of the Shenandoah Valley has been purchased for the new college. It is peculiarly appropriate that the legacy left by Miss Baldwin and carefully invested for twenty-five years, should be used to purchase the ground โ to perform the initial step in realizing the vision โ 4o carry on the Spirit of Mary Baldwin! A campaign for $1,600,000 is to be launched in April, 1925, by the Board of Trustees, the Alumna? and the Citizens of Staunton. A half million of this has al- ready been pledged by the Synod of Virginia; $100,000 by the Chamber of Com- merce of Staunton and Augusta County ; $500,000 to create a birthplace memorial for President Wilson, by the Trustees; and $500,000 is the goal set by the Alumnae. For the future we are all permitted to labor, and to carry out the vision of Doctor Fraser and the Trustees. Let all be able to say to them : The torch ye threw to us we caught. Ten million hands will hold it high. The Alumnae and former students have been thoroughly organized into legions for victory, ten district captains leading the legions occupying every nook and corner of the United States. Mrs. Benton McMillin, the wife of ex- Governor McMillin of Tennessee, and previous to that a United States Senator, is the honorary chairman of the nation-wide organization. Mrs. Roselle Mercier Montgomery, well known through her poems appearing in The New York Times, is the honorary vice-chairman, and Mrs. D. H. Hill Arnold of Flkins, West Virginia is the second honorary vice-chairman. As a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump, so will the Alumnae and ex-students scattered over the United States excite enthusiasm which will produce their $500,000 goal for the building fund. Before the campaign began the Alumnae decided that part of their quota should go into an appropriate and beautiful residence hall, known as the William Wayt King Dormitory, in appreciation of the part he has had in making the pres- ent dormitories beautiful and comfortable. As Business Manager of the Mary Baldwin for thirty-five years, Mr. King has been chiefly identified with the physical growth of the Seminary. So the memory of Mr. King ' s cheerfulness, iStuestocKtn helpfulness, thoughtfulness, and ability will be perpetuated in this appropriate tribute โ though for all those that ever had the fortune of knowing Mr. King, no such memorial need be created to keep their memories vivid, nor their affections steadfast. Another feature of the proposed evolution of the college is the intention of the Board of Trustees to raise a fund of $500,000 to create a birthplace me- morial to President Wilson. President Alderman of the University of Virginia heads the birthplace memorial committee. It is preeminently fitting that the birth- place memorial should be identified with education, for Mr. Wilson was an author, educator, and statesman of the first magnitude. The college is proud of the link it has with the world hero. It was while his father, Reverend Joseph Wilson, I). 1)., was pastor of the Presbyterian Church, that Woodrow Wilson was born in the Manse, and baptized in the church edifice, which later became the Mary Baldwin Chapel, for the life of the Church and the life of the Seminary have been peculiarly inter-related during the last eighty-two years. Now the College wishes to complete the link by acquiring the Manse and converting it into a shrine ; to restore the old church (at present the school chapel) in which Mr. Wilson was baptized to its original form, and to erect an administra- tion building on the college campus, Woodrow Wilson Hall, in every respect worthy to bear the illustrious name of the historic character. The proposed development aims to give Mary Baldwin College its rightful inheritance โ the first place among women ' s colleges in the South. With buildings more stately and noble than the outgrown shell, with a campus ideally situated and spacious, with the guidance of a spiritual and well-prepared faculty, will come a more noble, ideal, and spiritual womanhood. The future is lighted with a radiant color of hope! We give thanks to the spirit of Mary Baldwin, to the President, the Dean, the Business Manager, and the Board of Trustees that have led us thus far. Let us add our labors to make their visions a reality โ to make the College second to none in the South. So here ' s to the College, the foster child of the beloved Seminary! May the College ever worship the ideals of its Alma Mater. Nay, even more, may it strengthen the best of the past, conceive higher ideals and diffuse upon the earth, Life and Light ! - 2 ยฃ 6. 2 rt C 2 2 Miss Elsie Walker Jones, North Carolina Miss Nannie Lewis Tate, Virginia First Graduate Mary Baldwin College First Graduate Augusta Female Seminary ยฎ!j? lest? r The fish that once was caught New bayte will hardly byte.

Hopping on a street car (his bicycle unfortunately had a flat tire), he vacated it at a small dump commonly called the palace, and asked Isabella for her private yacht, to see if he could explode the theory! She not only turned over the royal yacht, but persuaded Ferdy (or Foidy, as it was called in those hectic times), to pawn the royal Ingersoll to hire him a gondola. Being very particular, Columbus took only women and children, in case he had a wreck, so he could originate the saying, Women and Children first. They sailed for years and years and finally in about three months they saw the three mile limit off Miami. Columbus expressed great surprise at seeing so many apparent Spaniards in this new place (being misled by the tan, you understand). He dressed himself with much care, also a few clothes, and ad- vanced upon the town attended by two small girls doing a dance of Spring. In case of misunderstanding, it was Columbus not the town, who was attended by two small girls doing a dance of Spring, throwing roses. Also understand, it was the two small girls doing a dance of Spring who were throwing roses, the two small girls, in other words, who were throwing roses. Only, the two small girls were not in other words, but to be exact, in very lovely Spanish Armadas, each having a graceful drape. And the two small girls were not the only ones who were not dressed in other words. No indeed! Many of the women were attired in brilliant Castillian dialects, with deep fringe. But alas for Columbus ! Also alack ! ! He forgot his smoked glasses. He didn ' t have even an old negative. No, dear! It wasn ' t an eclipse.

A Knight and His Sport Model h 1ยฉtucstocKmg THE RAT Oh, she was the fairest maiden โ fairest Maiden in the world, But they made her slick her hair back, And her ears like sails unfurled, Like sails before the wind, large and White, swayed to and fro. Oh, her lips were like two cherries โ like Two cherries, ripe and red, But they banished all her lipsticks, and Their cherry sweetness fled, ' Till she seemed but some pale ghost, Some pale ghost of long ago. Oh, her gowns were soft and clinging โ Clinging flying fairy things But they made her wear them backwards And now her costume clings In a most peculiar fashion, fashion Graceful as a crow. Yes, she was the fairest maiden โ Fairest maiden ever seen, But the old girls in their blindness, they Dubbed her simply green, And the poor graceful maiden, red-lipped Maiden died of woe. Don Kabi.eote ' s Horse The unhappy shade of Janice Wilmeth wandered listlessly over the vast spaces between Elysium and Pluto ' s abode. Suddenly one of the Angelic Heralds appeared at the gateway of the Newest Star. La-a-a-st ca-a-1111 for entrance to the Newest Star, he yelled in rather an un-angelic tone of voice. Mental registration โ Pullman Porter during life. Janice yawned lazily. Where ' s my lipstick, Charlotte? And for the first time one noticed the Little Thing tugging Janice forward by her hair. But the Little Thing had a personality in spite of her size โ an ego that ran to the Getting Somewhere Complex. Now listen โ forget that lipstick for once in your death. Saint Peter slammed the door in our faces because you would stop to pick it up after that million-mile drop. And Pluto said he didn ' t mind it making us late but Hudnut clashed with his color schemes. That ' s two places we lost out on. Drop the lipstick and let ' s make the third. Well, quit throwing it up to me. And with two vehemently vivid beacon- like lips Janice led the Little Thing on toward the Promised Star. But the Pullman-Porter-Angel-Herald saw them not. Janice and Charlotte cut off their wing-power and slammed on the brakes. Too late ! The bronze portals clanged right in their cherubic curly heads. โ โ โ โ โ โ IB โ โ โ โ !!โ โ โ โ โ hn n n A ru ftrt nnn i โ I ' l ' ljp j โ ;.;,ย .-.โ .;.;.

ARni ' sht in Amor- LOVE SONG OF ' 25 In the Class of ' 25 Altho ' our number ' s rather small, You find us very much alive All up and down the hall. No one wears a sparkler yet โ Still, there ' s plenty time โ You ask which one our bride? You bet! (I just said that to make it rhyme.) Winnie says that she ' s not in love, Or that her heart she did not sell. We smile (polite), but โ Heavens above! What fits those roguish eyes can tell ! Pauline is just as bad Tho ' ' tis of Paul she dreams and sighs. It really makes us feel quite sad To see the longing in her eyes. Now, Charlene smiles mysteriously, To learn her secret we have failed. We asked her once, Who will it be? But under ' her blank gaze we paled. Rocier scorns the sterner sex At least she tells us so โ Yet one never can tell who ' ll be next ; She, still, may be the first to go. There ' s one more member of our class, Of her we shall not say a word. In case you think this mere sass Can ' t you guess why she won ' t be heard? You know our secrets from first to last. We leave our memories lone to survive, And to our descendants we have passed The love song of ' 25. โ Dorothy L. Bowman. g %2Ug When I was a baby, I had a pink and blue rattle. Celluloid, it was. Mother ' s pet Pom chewed it up. When I was five, I had a calico doll. Mother generally carried it around with her. When I was eight, I had a skipping rope with red handles. By the time mother had lost twelve pounds, the rope was worn in two. When I was eleven, I had a pair of plaid woolen sox. Mother was learning to play golf that year. After she had had six lessons, to call them spats would have been to flatter them. When I was fourteen, I bobbed my hair. Mother had my switch dyed to match her hair. When I was eighteen, I had a big dance. Mother got the biggest rush of anyone. When I was twenty, I met Bill. Mother would not consent to the match, but when she met Bill I knew she woul d change her mind. She met him. O father, how I wish you were still alive ! ! ! An Appmtattfltt As editor-in-chief of The Bluestocking of 1925, I wish to thank, in behalf of the staff, three ardent assistants of our annual this year as well as in years gone by. It would be unnecessary to even mention these names, to the staff and to many who are interested in our annual, but for the benefit of those who have no inside knowledge of the work they have done, I want to thank Miss Alice Price, Miss Gertrude Meyer, and Miss Fannie Strauss, who have given us their time and help whenever called upon to do so, and who have made this, our Bluestocking for 1925 the success that we, the staff, hope it is. โ Margaret Scott.
