Class Poet. o rxi This sweet June day as ' neath the radiant sky We stand half free from care, half with a sigh Gazing into each classmate ' s face so bright, Dreading the parting which must come tonight ; Xow that the longed-for day has come at last. We think of all onr school days which are past— Those spent in feasts, in mirth and frolic gay. Which stealthily and silently have slipped away. .As this same class enters the larger life With all its cares and never-ending strife, Though in this world we ' ll labor : yet I ween. We ' ll ne ' er forget our class, 1915. Thus ends my song on this sweet suminer day, And now on Life ' s tide, we must sail away. Life ' s ocean calls us and we cannot stay; We must ' mong workers buffet with its spray. As w-e leave this joy and all this gladness There comes upon us a feeling of sadness, Farewell, Alma Mater, where sweet mem ' ries lie. Fond teachers, loved classmates, a long good-bye. Theres.v Inez Lynch. JuHt la! We are gay as the birds this morning and our hearts are very Hght, For our lessons all are finished and our books packed out of sight; The training school road we are leaving for other untried wa s. For we ' re here to say good-by now to our happy Normal days. We ' ve been glad and sorry together, but the joy has outweighed the pain; We have fought the battles for wisdom with all of our might and main ; And those we ' ve lost have helped us as truly as those we ' ve won. For the lesson each one brought us can never be undone. We shall laugh together this morning — even June with us is gay ; Since faithfully we ' ve labored, we ' ve earned the right to play. We shall ever be united, even though the morrow finds Our feet on separate life paths ; one hope our spirit binds. There ' s a cottage by the seashore, a camp on the river ' s 1)rink : For us all our homes are waiting and oftentimes we think How soon our summer ' ll be over and the schoolroom doors swing wide On the scene of the work we have chosen and the chililren we ' re to guide. VlRCIXIA IlOI.I ' .N ' . ilpmnrifB nf tl|? tmor dlaBS T had been five years since the eventful Commencement night when the Senior Class of 1915 stood upon the threshold of a wider field of service. My life since that time had been one of rich and varied experiences, but I had remained true to my profession — I was still a school teacher. One dreary afternoon I sat in my room on the verge of bursting into tears at what I deemed my miserable failures of the day. Everything all day had apparently gone wrong. While I sat brooding on mv many trials and tribulations, there suddenly passed before my mind ' s eye a pano- ramic view of the four happy years spent at Fredericksburg. Somehow I had forgotten the joy of those days ! I was back again in the train one sultry September afternoon, being slowly carried to Fred- ericksburg. On all sides sat girls bound for the same place; some, with laughing and happy voices, endeavored to conceal the home-sick feeling that threatened to overwhelm them ; others, whose weepy-looking eyes plainly indicated that it was their first experience away from mamma and ]iapa. The train stopped, and such a bustling as there was! Then came the arrival at the school, not the beautiful and well-loved spot of today, but incomplete and uninviting buildings, with no grassy lawn nor cement walks. Scores of girls had already arrived from all parts of the State on earlier trains and on the boat. Our beloved Miss Forbes gave us a cordial welcome and assigned us our respective rooms. After a time we timidly ventured forth to investigate the place which was to be our home for the next nine months. Many of us soon found congenial companions and began chatting gayly together of home and friends and planning for the study so soon to begin. The next few davs were busy ones. It required the combined eltorts of almost the entire Faculty to classify us, but the task was finally accomplished and school life really began. Twenty-eight of us considered ourselves quite fortunate to be enrolled as members of the Freshman Class. We were proud of our class, and well we might have been, for didn ' t we win the Trophy Cup that year and perform a thousand other feats as wonderful? I saw again the girls come trooping back to school the following autumn, happy in spirit and eager to receive the title of Sophomores. This year our numbers divided. Fourteen girls passed into the Junior Class and were among the graduates of IQ14. These chanced to be the best athletes of the class, and when Field Day came again the Junior Class and not the Sophomores was the happy possessor of the much-desired cup. But eight girls from the original class and the four new members still preserved our reputation of perseverance and class loyalty, for we figured promi- nently in all the contests, and on Field Day we won five perfectly good whole points, much credit being due to four Mtmariea nf the ruinr (Elass. of our oirls. whose swift running placed them third in a relay race. Latane Rice ' s skill in handling potatoes on the run was worth - of praise. We were much elated over our success, despite the fact that the Sophomore ' s five points became the joke of the day. Many pleasant memories of that year ' s work came to me as I sat thinking of the past. I recalled the English class with delight. Miss Dadmun, our dear friend and teacher, introduced us for the first time to poetry, and we had the honor of writing the amusing limericks on the Seniors of 1913. As a climax to this delightful work we were enter- tained one afternoon by iNIiss Dadmun. We felt so important to be able to answer the inquiry as to whom we had been with. A hv, we ' ve been having tea with the English teacher. ( )ne of the brilliant achievements of this class was the writing of a real storv. My ! but that seemed a laborious task then : but, as I thought of it again, it was with pleasure. Again I saw my class plunged beneath the waves of Theory and Methods, with innumerable lesson plans for life- preservers. ' e were no longer the happy dozen, for the Junior Class now numbered se venty-eight. Nine Fresh- men, because of their extreme brilliancy and having made up the required work, were admitted to full Junior priv- ileges. We gave them a warm welcome, for they were girls we loved. Fifteen other girls from the same class, impa- tient to win greatness at a single stroke, ignored the honor of being Sophomores and joined our ranks as Abridged Juniors. Forty-two new girls were also greeted as our Junior sisters. This year was one to be ever remembered! A year in which pleasure and hard work were inextricably mingled. No single classroom was large enough to contain seventy-eight active minds at the same time, so our class was divided into two sections. It put double work on our instructors, but this was lost sight of by us, so engrossed were we with our seemingly endless tasks. It was not all work, though, as many a Junior has so often contended; but there was plenty of fun, too. In Mr. Chandler ' s classes both sections met in a great body. Our minds being so imbued with social ideas by Mr. Tyner, and there being no impression without expression, Room Seven was named by us the Social Center. The amusing incidents which happened there and from which the room derived its name were never permitted to reach Mr. Chandler ' s ears. If such had been the case. I fear many of us would have lost our illustrious reputations. Other far more important things now arose before me. I felt once more the excitement of the grand basket-ball contest and the thrill of victory. What team was equal to ours ? We looked in astonishment at their wonderful pass- work and brilliant plays. Then contest after contest came off, and each time our class either won the first or the second place. How elated we felt ! We were vain enough to think that the cup would be ours. When Field Day at last arrived our participants in the various contests entered with the same old pluck and daring, and at last the sus- pense was over and we had won. Once more I recalled the Queen of May for that year, Janet La Crosse, loved and admired by all. With what queenlv grace she moved in and out among her schoolmates ! We were proud that one from our class had been given this honor. 31 Msmanes of ll|r rninr (tlnss. One of the chief features of this year was the reception given in honor of the Seniors. Much enjoyment was afforded to our guests by a presentation of the Shades of the Past when they saw themselves as we had seen them. The three short summer months had rolled swiftly by, and for the last time I saw our class pass into a wider and fuller experience. Alore changes came to our class. Out of the vast host of the preceding year only forty- three returned to experience the joys and sorrows of a Senior ' s career. Our one regret was that our efficient Presi- dent, Eliza Pierce, was unable to return to us. We were glad to greet Rachel Pearce and Grace Tanner as members of the same distinguished body. Thev were former students of the school, and it was only their great wisdom which prompted them to return at this opportune time — to enjoy the privilege of graduating with us. Louise Lewis, Ruth Clarkson and Nannie Waller Parker, whose names could have been found among the graduates of the preceding } ' ear, loved study so well that they returned to school and became Manual i .rts Seniors. The adjustment to the Senior rights and privileges was a long and gradual process. It was so much so that when the first ball game of that year came off we found our side yelling for the Juniors. But with daily contact with such venerable and learned gentlemen as Monroe, Home, Button, Snedden, and countless others worthy of note, we ho longer proved to be a Problem of Educational Readjustment, and lo ! before we realized it we had been transformed into fearfully dignified Seniors. At any rate, the Preps and Sub-Preps considered us as such. Our joy was unbounded when our unconquerable team was chosen to represent the school in a game with the Richmond Y. W. C. A. team, which held the reputation of never having lost a game. As usual, our team ' s playing was unexcelled and victory was ours. The various class games took place, and each time our team retained the class honor and reputation. It was not only in the field of athletics that the girls of our class won distinction. It was through their efforts that student government was instituted. In spite of the fact that we found it hard to keep the many rules, neverthe- less we enjoyed the privilege of self-government. How proud we were that our class would be recorded in the history of the school for having taken the initiative in the establishment of the Student Government Association of the school ! What thoughts were ours of the Training School! AVe lay awake through the long watches of the night and planned how best to obtain and to hold the attention of Johnny and ; Iary. We soon realized that the beautiful theories that continually danced in our heads did not -work out hen put into practical application. Though the Training School at first held many terrors for us, they were soon forgotten, and we came from under its refining influence full-fledged teachers, readv to fight life ' s battles. I raised my head; the fire in the grate had burned low. I rubbed my eyes to discover what had happened. Oh! I exclaimed, I must have been dreaming: I thought I was a school girl again. Yes, dear friends, it was onlv a day-dream of the past, ibut the memories that will never lose their joy, each time recalled, are those of the days spent at the Fredericksburg Normal School.

I was even beginning to doubt tlie veracitv of that saving, for hadn ' t I waited and waited in vain for the power of clairvovance to descend on me? At hist I grew despairing and ahnost gave up liupe. lint as I gazed into the mirror over tlie mantel, trying my hardest to formulate some plan for reading the future fortunes of ni classmates, more effective than waiting, suddenlv I seemed to see right through the mirror and there, much to my astonishment and delight, was the Wonderland Alice herself beckoning me to come to her. Jumping up from mv chair, I ran to the mantel and climbed up, thinking I would soon have the mysteries of that wonderful Looking-Glass Land opened to me. But no such good fortune was to be mine, for, instead of melting away as I had expected it to do, the glass remained as solid as ever. Alice beckoned again, this time motioning to me to move over to the left side of the mirrnr as far as possible and peep through. I obeyed her instructions as best I could, having a haril time to remain on the narrow mantel, and when I looked into the glass, what should I see but a great auditorium filled with people. At the end was a stage, and I saw that the curtain was slowly rising. That is the Stage of Life, said a wee voice at my left, and I turned to see the Red Queen and the White King conversing in squeaky undertones. Ah, and who has the floor tonight? asked the AMiite King. Why. a certain class that graduated from a State Xormal School somewhere in the outside world a number of years ago, answered the knowing queen. They say that there were more brilliant persons in that class than in any other class that has ever been known to graduate from anv college or school before or since. Humph! that sounds like mv own class, thought L and sure enough it was! In a minute I looked at the stage, where I saw a huge workshop filled with little boys from eight to ten years old busily engaged in building small benches and bookshelves. IMoving among ' them, giving deft instruction and assistance, were [Muriel Barber and Janet La Crosse. T am not surprised. I thought, for the unusual ability and adoration they showed for home mechanics predicted a life-long devotion to the work. If I had not been surprised by that scene, I was certainlv to receive the shock of my life at the next, for on the stage I saw a huge sign : ••.Aleals at All Hours! Chicken-Xeck Salad a Specialty ! and through a window I could distinguish the form of my old classmate, Theresa Lynch, dining sumptuously on the Specialty. Xor was she alone, for with her sat a tall gentleman who, though enough like her to be a brother, was, T feel sure, from the adoration in his eves, her husband, and a recentlv acquired one at that. The honeymooners faded from sight, and I saw before me a great brick edifice in which were a good many very small windows. Looking through one of them, I saw that the inside of it was redhot. How strange! I said aloud. I never supposed that one of our class would meet such a fate as this. I heard a voice telling me to go around to the side. There I saw Louise Lewis and Xancy .Parker peering through another tiny window. As I came near them I heard Louise Lewis saying, I tell you, Xancy, I never did like Matt Glazes. As I came back to the front of the kiln, I was struck by a big sign : Parker, Lewis Clarkson, Potters. I learned later that the firm was first in the industry, and the strangest part of it was that the last-named member slept the greater part of the time and dreamed in detail most marvelous designs, which the others worked out in reality. The scene changed to what seemed to me a conglomerate mass, in which nothing could be distinguished from an - thing else. Before very long, however, I saw a familiar face. Familiar, indeed, for having once seen that face one would hardly forget it! It was Lilian Craig, and she was moving out from the crowd which surrounded her. Sud- denly she stopped, smiled to the right of her and smiled to the left of her. made a profound bow, then, lifting her voice, gave one deafening veil ! The poor little Red Queen at my side was swept complete!) ' off her feet, and was, when I last saw her, rolling over and over, gasping for breath. The White King perked up, however and assumed a most important air, for the yell had terminated in a wild shout of Give the Men Their Rights! Before I had quite regained my composure I was soothed by a most musical (?) sound: Do, re, mi, re, do, I heard, and looking at the stage I beheld a class of model children, in faultless position, with mouths beautifully rounded and chins dropped, gazing in spellbound wonder at the facial contortions of their music teacher, who proved to be no other than Elizabeth Chenery. grown thinner and older from continual exertion, but Elizabeth, nevertheless. She was teaching an observation lesson, I surmised, from the number of observers she had. Looking more closely at those observers, I saw Beulah Detwiler and Edna Gibbs taking notes like wildfire. I suppose they put those points into their own music lessons later, although I wasn ' t there to see. The model schoolroom disappeared, and instead I saw a group of sad-looking old ladies seated around an open fireplace. In the center of the group was Josephine Shields with huge tears streaming down her face. I couldn ' t connect this with the happy little flirt of our school days, and when I asked for an explanation, imagine my astonish- ment at the sign to which Alice pointed : Home for the Lovelorn. There was our dear little Jo dying of a broken heart, but cherishing her unrequited love to the end. While I was still gazing at this unbelievable spectacle, it faded from before me, as things seemed to have a queer wax of doing in the Looking-Glass Land, and I saw in its place a well-equipped chemistry laboratory. At a table stood i Iaude Seay deeply engrossed in some experiment. Alannie Torbert, whom I took to be her assistant, was show- ing two g ' orgeouslv-dressed sightseers through the laboratory. The tourists, whom I finally recognized as Rachel Qllnsa Pro ibrry. Pearce and Xorine Tennis, seemed effusively interested in the equipment, and to all appearances were enjoving the exhibition greatly, when all of a sudden there was a terrific explosion, and I turned to see that jMaude ' s experiment had turned out badly and the entire laboratory, as well as m} ' dear classmates, had gone up in smoke. Cirieved though I was at this sad mishap, I had time for not more than two or three tears, which I hastily wiped away, for I was startled to hear the strains of ly ' ild Irish Rose in tones so incomprehensible as to hold me spell- bound. Yes, it was Helen singing- in grand opera at last. An even sweeter melody (if such be possible) fell upon my ears, and I looked to see Margaret Sacrev, as bright and pretty as ever, leading a group of kindergarten children in a little singing game. It must have been Mother ' s Joy, for around the sides of the room were seated ladies w ho I am sure must have been the mothers of some of the little folks from the proud smiles on their faces. Three smiles especially attracted my attention, being so very proud and so very broad. I looked at the faces and saw that those smiles belonged to three of mv former classmates, Eliza- beth Xinde, Lucille Rawlings and Annie Carter. The scene shifted, and I saw two ladies chatting in a well-furnished living-room. The hostess I found to be lar- jorie Riker and her caller Joyce Bradford. From their conversation I learned that Marjorie was the wife of a pros- perous grocer and Jo3 ' ce the devoted helpmeet of the Methodist minister. They were discussing Charlotte Rice ' s latest book, The High Cost of Loving Reduced to a Minnie (mum). As they talked I caught the name Brooking, and I heard that Soph had become a poet wdio rivaled Shakespear e in genius. It seemed that for a long time she had been struggling to get her works published, but, on account of her financial circumstances, had been unable to do so until recently, when two of her classmates, Elizabeth Russell and Annie Harris, both of whom had married millionaires, had given her the aid she needed and launched her on her career. Quack ! Quack I Quack ! I heard on every side, and, looking around. I saw a multitude of ducks. In their midst were Crace Tanner and } Iartha Hughes feeding them and talking to them in duck language. At least I judged that it was duck language, but the onlv sentence I could gather was : Whose ' ittle ducky is ' oo? I think I heard Tweedledum tell Tweedledee that they were in the business and making a big success of their fluck farm, but I wouldn ' t vouch for the validity of the statement. The ducks faded away, and I saw in their place a small sitting-room, where Fannie Hitker sat tving a pack of faded old letters with a blue ribbon. I watched the rapt expression on her face for a minute, then I drew m ' own con- clusions, and I shall leave you to draw vours. The stage turned to a circus ground, where, in a prominent place, was Theresa Dannehl, swinging by first one hand and then the other on poles at least fifty feet high stretched across the length of the ground. She came verv near getting all the way back to her original ancestors, I mused. The Red Queen seemed thoroughly shocked at this undignified proceeding, and while I watched her in amusement, the circus ground vanished and I saw in its place a great gymnasium, where, under the direction of Alma Raiford, about twentv fat ladies were taking reduction exer- QIlaHS Propl|rry. cises. Among their, were Elsie Wood, Sarah Burke Spindle and Latane Rice working with all their might to rid them- selves of some of the extra flesh they had gained from 3 ' ears of idleness. If some of my classmates had grown fair, forty and fat, it was not so with all; for while I was still looking I saw the tallest, most imposing personage I had seen since the reign of Miss Forbes. It was no less a person than Margaret Sayre, turned missionary and surrounded by a group of heathen Chinese, who were unquestioningly drinking in her words of wisdom. Just as she had reached a most serious part of her discourse a humorous thought must have struck her, for she broke into uncontrollable peals of laughter and vanished with her heathen into thin air. In their stead I saw a great ring, where everything seemed to be in readiness for a fight. Soo n Sarah Gouldman and Alva Birmingham walked out from opposite doors and pounced upon each other, clawing and scratching like tiger cats. The Alock Turtle offered the information that they were in love with the same man and had taken this means of deciding. The strains of Mendelssohn ' s Wedding March fell on my ears, and I saw Bealmear Linthicuni walking up the aisle with the very man over whom the others were fighting. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush certainly. I saw on the stage a group of ladies conversing earnestly about something. The Gryphon told me that a number of my classmates had started a select school for twentieth-century young ladies, and that this was probably a facultv meeting. Nearly all of the faces were familiar, and I found that mv classmates occupied chairs as follows : Helen Gardner, Principal ; Josephine Jerrell, Philosophy of Life : Effie Broaddus, Aesthetic Dancing ; Mary Temple Cole- man, Music: Virginia Bolen, Tone Quality in Conversation; Nannie Page Burrus, Life Viewed from Its Humorous Side ; Ruth Carter, Humility of Manner ; Elizabeth McDonnell, Animation in Daily Deportment ; Alice Warren, The Necessity of Self-Subordination in Social Intercourse, and Frances Harrell, The Advantages of Idleness. The discussion, which seemed to nie to be over an exceedingly unimportant trifle, grew warmer and warmer and hotter and hotter until the whole scene became a turmoil. Everything began going around in a whirlwind, and soon I saw cards flying all over the place. From the Queen of Hearts to the King of Diamonds the ' were all there, flowing in so many directions that I couldn ' t collect my thoughts at all. After a while an indistinct figure rose out of the chaos. As it liecame clearer and clearer the face grew crosser and more crabbed, and I saw that it was certainly the face of a dried-up old maid. It puzzled me, for there was some- thing distinctly familiar about that face, yet I couldn ' t Cjuite place it. While I was looking at it searchingly, determined to find out to whom it belonged, I felt a subtle change around me, and I suddenl_ - came to with a start, onh- to find myself in the same armchair in the library gazing into the mirror at my own reflection ! And, bitterest of disappointments, instead of having been the most adorable of romances, my adventure had been a commonplace dream the like of which evervone has everv dav. Prophet? I resign my job.

A. ietanJ 1314-1915 H AST April when the present Cabinet took the oath of office tliey were ahnost bewildered with the magnitude of their future task, but in a few weeks Miss Robertson, the Student Secretary, visited the school and gave the girls many helpful suggestions for the various phases of work. They then set to work in real earnest. Late in ! Iav the President and two other girls were sent as delegates to the Blue Ridge Conference, where they received much inspiration. When the school opened ag ' ain in Septemlser the girls came back eager to work out the many new plans made dur- ing the summer. The Cabinet was very fortunate in electing as Advisory Officer Miss Stone, who has rendered valu- able assistance in the work. The year has been a success. Xever before in its history has the entire student bod ' shown such a vital interest in Y. W. C. .V. activities. Several interesting and instructive classes were ofifered in liible and Mission study, in which a large per cent, of the girls were enrolled as members. The annual bazaar proved quite a success, not oul - from a financial, but from a social standpoint. The social life of the school has also been stressed. At the opening of school a reception was given to the Faculty and students. On two other occasions during ' the year the Y. W. C. A. members enjoyed delightful parties, well planned by the Social Committee. On account of the newness of the Social Service Committee much attention has been devoted to its work. Here the girls actualh- came into contact with social problems on a small scale, and have rendered helpful and lo •ing service to many in need.

A. team in Richmond V-X on January the 30th, the score being 14 to 9. The enthusiastic support of the school, together with the deter- g g minalion and training of the team, made possible the defeat of one of the best girls ' basket-ball teams in the State. The event was a whirl of excitement from the beginning until the end of the first half, wdien the score was a tie — 6 to 6 — and the splendid temper and true sportsmanlike spirit during the entire game proved what a match game may represent when played properly. ]Mav the precedent set at this contest ever be an example to be followed both in regard to its spirit and to our victory ! The basket-ball season was a most interesting one, being chiefly taken u]) with games Ijetween the variiius classes. The series was begun with a game between the Juniors and Seniors and ended with the Freshman-Senior contest. The Senior team was victorious, having won every game this season, as well as last. The quick and graceful playing of the guards will long be remembered, and the centers seemed to know just where to place the ball so that the for- wards could get it in the basket with remarkable skill.

Ours have a bit of spice. We print this as a guide to future th-amatic EHEARSALS are usually clubs : There will be a rehearsal of all the parts assigned in the Dramatic Club this afternoon at 4.35. Roll-call will be prompt and fines enforced. This was one of the notices read at chapel exercises. The club members looked at each other and sighed, for the same notice had been read daily for the past two weeks. ) girls ! do keep quiet! It is time to call the roll, we heard the secretary say, as we rushed hurriedly into the auditorium at least t en minutes late. ' T don ' t care ! someone exclaimed ; I just had to wait until the mail was put up. After roll-call everybody began to talk loudly, and appeared startled when the director rapped on the desk and said. Whenever you are ready, girls, we will begin the rehearsal. The first thing to be rehearsed is the chorus, T Can ' t Do a Thing with My Hair Since It ' s Washed. ' We took our places oil the platform and waited for the opening chord, after which we began to sing. Half way through the first verse the music suddenly ceased, and the director said, Of course, if you each wish to sing a solo, that is all right, but I thought this was a chorus. Begin again, please, and start on time and keep together. Now ! One, two, three — start ! This and many other remarks of a similar nature were uttered throughout the entire song until we heard the sound of the supper bell. Then, and not until then, did we hear the director say, I think this will be jMOTHER GOOSE CLUB Matkn Oinnar (Elub Coi.oks 3iIoTTO : Needles and pins, needles and pins.

Smith. oms mm m pmuT; a MS a BOOR MMOIi TMROSMfiIK6lKT B3;T on A laltlp of Mils IIK usual Saturday ciowd was gathered on the porch of the little country store. On this particular afternoon ten men, perhaps, were loafing around. As there were only four chairs, most of them were sprawling in various places not primarily intended for seats. Dry-goods hoxes, a great coil of rope, and even a chicken crate, were pressed into seryice. As about the same crowd usuall}- congregated here on Saturday afternoons, it was humor- ously called ' The Corn Club, ' ' or better still, The Boasters ' Club. After work was fin- ished the neighborhood men would go to the store to get the mail, for the postoffice was here also, or go just simply to talk over crops with each other. At present the greatest bragger of them all was talking, as always, about his corn. I tell ou, he was saving, that river bottom of mine is hard to beat. I wouldn ' t he afraid to sa - it ' s the best piece of corn land in the country. Why. the whole field is in full tassel already, and no other one around here has more than a few scattering ones. Yes, agreed the storekeeper with a wink at the others, that ' s a fine piece of corn — a mighty fine piece. It ' s wonderful how )our crops always turn out. Bill. This was all that was needed to start Bill Harmon. I had the same field in last year, he continued, and made twenty barrels to the acre without fertilizer. The PJoys ' Corn Club demonstrator lookeil at my corn the other day and admitted that he couldn ' t teach me anything- along that line. Fine, fine! applauded the merchant, and how ' s your wheat coming on.- ' This should have been a rather sore subject, as IMr. Harmon had ne er trieil but one crop of wheat, and failed completely in that. A smile passed oyer the faces of the crowd, but he seemed in no way ennbarrassed. Oh, I don ' t think much of wheat as a money-making crop. he explained. It ' s too much trouble and expense. They sav Air. Carter has a g ' ood crop, volunteered one of the loafers, a lean, grizzled man who might have posed for a picture of Uncle Sam. Yes. he has a fine showing, answered another. He ought to make a tidy sum from it. He may be able to pay off that old mortgage if he succeeds in selling before it is due. Well, I hope he succeeds. He deserves it, and I ' d like to see someone get ahead of Johnson. He ' s the stingiest, closest old fellow in the country, and he would go to any lengths to get something he wanted as badly as I understand he wants Carter ' s farm. Talk about being stingy! ' hy, he makes his own wife buy meal to feed her chickens, while he has corn to sell right now. I ' ll bet he ' s ready to eat all the chicken he can when it ' s on the table. If it ' s somebodv else ' s chicken. He doesn ' t let his wife eat hers. Sells them all himself, then gives her part of the money. About this time a boy twelve years of age entered the porch. He carried a fishing pole carelessly in one brown fist and a string of fish in the other. 105 A lattlr of Jiita. What luck. Bob? asked h-. Harmon. Bob proudly held up his string of fish. Beauties, ain ' t they? he asked. I caught them all in about an hour. Any mail for us, Mr. Hilton? he continued, turning to the postmaster-storekeeper. ' I ' ll see in a minute, sonny. Sit down somewhere and make yourself comfortable. Bob sat down on an overturned basket. What ' s the matter, son? You seem to be warm, ' ' remarked one of the men. I ' ve been chasing Johnson ' s old mules out of our cornfield, answered Bob. They ' re always getting in there. Dad put them up one day and made him come after them. He got pretty mad, but I don ' t care. Why didn ' t you put them up again ? ' Cause Dad wasn ' t at home. He ' s gone to kjok for a thresher, and he said not to unless he was here. Then why don ' t you fix the fence ? Dad ' s half ' s all right, was the prompt rejjly, but Johnson won ' t fix his share. Needn ' t think we ' re going to keep the whole fence up. That Johnson hasn ' t been here long, remarked one of the men who had not spoken before, but who had missed none of the talk. He came from somewhere up North, and I ' ve heard that he wasn ' t on very good terms with the law up there. I ' ve heard that, too. Did you hear what was the trouble? Making counterfeit money, I think. They say there ' s a big reward for his arrest if they can get the proof needed. Well, I wouldn ' t like to be in his shoes if they ever do get him. Mr. Hilton came back with a newspaper, which he handed to Bob. I thought there was a letter, too, for you, my boy, he said, but I was mistaken. Rising as he took the paper. Bob started, saying, I guess I ' d better be going. Ma will want the fish for supper. As he went on his way home whistling cheerfully, his thoughts were very busy with what he had heard at the store about Air. Johnson. Gee! he said, half aloud, I wish I could find the proof and get that money. Wouldn ' t it be fine! Supper was over in the Carter home. The moon, shining down through the locust leaves, made cjueer shadows dance all around. Somewhere nearby a lonely bird was calling mournfully, Whip-poor-will ! Whip-poor-will ! Bob was lounging on the porch steps, half in shadow, half in light. His father and mother were sitting near an open door. Say, Dad, did you find a machine, today? asked Bob, suddenly. Nobody except that fellow Jack Robinson would come, answered his father. If I didn ' t need to have that wheat threshed right away, I certainly wouldn ' t use his thresher. The old rattle-trap is ready to fall to pieces any minute. Where was Jones or Anderson? Wouldn ' t either of them come? You ' ve got enough wheat to pay for the trouble of coming. Both of them said they had enough crops engaged to kee]3 them busy for a month, though I don ' t believe a word of that. It looks to me like Johnson has had a hand in keeping them away. He ' d be mighty glad if I couldn ' t pay that mortgage. 106 A laltlr of SJits. What da ' will Robinson get here? asked Mrs. Carter, Not before Thursday, he said, bnt, of conrse. that means Friday or Saturday. Whew! whistled Rob, and the mortgage due two weeks from today! It ' s a good thing the mill will take the wheat right away. I ' m willing to bet that Robinson won ' t get here next week, fretted Mr. Carter. His old machine will break dinvn if he does come. Then I ' ll be in a fix. If I don ' t get that wheat away from here pretty soon, I don ' t know what we ' ll do, for Johnson will certainly take the place. Oh, quit worrying and come to bed, advised his wife. You ' re all tired out from riding so much, and a good night ' s leep will make you feel all right again. All through the succeeding week Mr. Carter fretted and fumed. Certainly the reports from Robinson ' s machine were not encouraging. There had been a rain hich delayed him for a da}-, then just as he had begun work at the next stack ' ard one of the w ' orkmen had carelessly allowed a fork to run through the machine, breaking several pieces. A delay had followed until new parts could be brought from the city, twelve miles away. As the week passed and still no thresher, Mr. Carter ' s state of mind bordered on insanity. Vhen will that crazy old machine get here? he burst out one day. If it doesn ' t come soon. I ' ll be crazy myself. Here I ' ve lost a whole week riding after Robinson to see wdien he ' d get here, and I don ' t know one bit more than I did last week. But on Saturday morning he walked into the kitchen about ten o ' clock. Maggie, he said, Robinson will be here tonight. I expect you will have to give the hands their supper, although they won ' t thresh any before Monday. A ' erv well, answered his wife. How many shall I have to feed? I don ' t know exactly: about twenty, I should saw ?ilr. Carter went out of the door with a quick, nervous step which was fast becoming habitual. The lines had dee]iened in his face and streaks of gray were showing plainly in his hair. His wife looked after him with a sigh. I wish John wouldn ' t worry so much, she mused. It doesn ' t help one bit and makes him feel so bad. ' hat shall I have for supper? About four o ' clock the thresher came lumbering into the yard. We ' ll have time to set it before dark, said its owner. That ' s all we ' ll be able to do tonight, but it will be all read y for work early ] Ionda_ -. ' hile the men worked with a will, digging the holes for the wdieels and getting the clumsy contraption in place, Mr. Robinson was going over the thresher carefully to see that all was in order for work. As he was cleaning out the feeders ' box he noticed that one of the bolts was missing ' , Hey, Mr. Carter, have •ou got a six-inch bolt? None that long, was the answer. Miat ' s the matter nriw ? Why, one of the bolts here has worked out and the place may lireak Monday. Well, I ' ll send Bob over to the blacksmith ' s after one. Bob, he called, go over to the shop and get me a six- inch bolt. Take the short cut through the woods and hurry, son. Bob hurried away, but had not returned by six o ' clock wdien the men were called to a substantial supper. After the meal was over all the workmen except one left the house, going home with the understanding that they were to 107 A lattlr nf Mtta. return for work early Monda) moniino-. The one who remained approached Mr. Carter and asked if he could spend the night with him, sa) ' ing, My home is so far away it is too much trouhle to go for so short a time. ' Certainly, Mr. Smith, we can keep you, was the answer. l!ut where is your home? The man mentioned a small town about twenty miles away, then explained, The doctor advised me to get away from the citv and work in the open air. As my purse is very slim, I had to take the first place which offered, which happened to be this one on Robinson ' s machine. Since Bob had been so long coming back, ; Ir. Robinson had decided that the bolt would have to be put in ])lace Monday morning, and he, too, had gone to his home. Presently the boy came in, tired, but very much excited. Did you get the bolt? asked his father before he could speak. Yes, sir, he answered. But, Dad, you know that old house down on the river, ' way back out of sight? I saw old man Johnson going up towards it as I was on my way to the shoji, then as I was coming back I heard such a lot of hammering up there I went to see what was going on. What did you find? asked his father, forgetting to scold him for staying so long. Why, Mr. Johnson and two other men were up there making something. Who? incjuired Mr. Smith suddenly. Mr. Johnson. What did you say he was doing? Making something, but I don ' t know what. I wonder if it can be? muttered Mr. Smith. Who? hat? Do you know anything about him? asked Ir. Carter, surprised at his interest. Oh, I ' ve just heard about his queer ways, was the evasive answer. But is he still there. Bob? I ' d like to see myself what he is doing? He ' s gone away now, but he ' ll be there 3iIonday night. I heard him tell the other men to come back wdien they left. He said, ' Now, you get up a good fire tomorrow night, and both of you be here promptly Monday night. ' He didn ' t see me, ' cause I hid in the bushes. That ' s good! exclaimed Mr. Smith. Suppose we go, too, and see what ' s up? The next day passed by very quietly, with no hint of coming trouble. That night, after all had been in bed for some time, Mr. Carter was awakened by a light glaring in his window. Springing out of bed to see what was the mat- ter, he found that the wdiole stackyard was in a blaze. One call awoke Bob and Mr. Smith, who were sleeping in an adjoining room, and told them wdiat was happening. Jerking on their clothes as they ran, they were at the scene in a few minutes, but the fire was beyond their control. Wheat and thresher were soon consumed. Only a huge pile of smoldering ashes and the engine at a short distance were left to show what had once stood there. Down-hearted at their loss, the men slowdy returned to the house. I guess it ' s all up with us, laggie, said Ir. Carter. The wheat ' s gone, but it ' s perfectly clear to my mind that someone set it on fire. Couldn ' t it have caught by a spark from the engine? suggested Mrs. Carter. It ' s not very likely, replied Mr. Smith. You see, if it had, I think it would have burned sooner. I agree with Mr. Carter that someone must have doue it (DU purpose. 108 A lattlt of Kits. That remains for us to find out, said Mr. Carter. Hut it ' ll lo no good even if I should, for I don ' t know how I ' ll ever pay the mortgage now. Won ' t the insurance cover it? I can ' t get it in time. There ' s too much red tape. Well, there ' s one fellow who ' ll be glad and that ' s Johnson. A sudden thought seemed to strike the minds of all. An uneasy silence lasted for a few seconds, then was broken by Mr. Carter. We ' ll have to leave it until morning. We can do nothing tonight, so let ' s go back to bed. It ' s nearl - two o ' clock now. Come, my son. and he lifted the boy. who was nearly asleep. When Mr. and Mrs. Carter were alone, he said: Maggie, I can ' t think of but one ]5erson who could have interest in destroying that wheat. Yes, she agreed slowly after a pause, but surely he couldn ' t have wanted the farm that much. I e.xpect he wanted to g et even as much as anything else. You know he was mad about those mules, and then, too, he wants this place pretty badly to finish out what he calls his estate, But he had no cause for getting mad about those mules. It ' s his own part of the fence that ' s down, That makes no difference. He ' s one who can ' t see any side but his own. He remained lost in thought for a few minutes before speaking again, then asked: Maggie, do you remember what Bob said he told that man Saturdav night ? Something about getting up a good fire, wasn ' t it? Yes, and he meant my wheat, the old rascal ! Well, I can ' t see what we ' ll do, answered his wife, but perhaps it will all work out for the best. Suppose we quit talking now, I ' ve got to give those men their breakfast, anyway, Next morning ' the hands were all at the farmhouse b} ' six o ' clock. Great was the wonder and surprise expressed by all. Ir. Robinson ' s wrath rose, for, although his machine was getting old, yet with it he made a good part of his income, lireakfast over, after examining the ashes thoughtfully, the workmen departed, as they had no further excuse for lingering. I )nl - ISIr. Robinson, who was muttering threats of what he was going- to do, and Air. Smith were left. Well, mv man, said Roibinson to the latter, I ' m sorry 1 can no longer give you a job, but, vou see, I ' m out of one m) ' self. I hope vou will succeed in getting another soon, Thank you, was the surprising answer, but I have one right imw in which I need your help, and yours, too, Air. Carter, turning to that gentleman, who was standing near, looking dazed. What ' s that? exclaimed the two simultaneouslv. You ' ll know in a minute. Then, addressing Mr. Carter: Do you remember that tale Bob told Saturday night about seeing Johnson and a couple of fellows making- something? Johnson is an old offender and the Government has wanted him for some time, but was unable to get the proof needed. I went over and investigated that old house my- self last night. What do vou think I found? A complete mint for turning out United States coins. Xow, if I can just catch them at it, I ' ll have all I need to convict the whole gang, Who are - ' ou, anywav? demanded Robinson. I tho-ught all Lhe time you -ere not what you said you were. The man smiled, pulled a badge from his pocket, and said, This will explain. A lot of bad money has been put out down here lately, so Uncle Sam sent me to find out about it. As the easiest wav of getting in touch with the people, I accepted this place on Air. Robinson ' s machine force. 109 A lattlr of Utts. Is your name Smith? was Mr. Robinson ' s next question. Tt is reall} ' Smith, too common to need changing. Xow, J want you two to help me get these men tonight. From what Bob said they ' ll be at the old cabin tonight. (Jf course, we ' ll go, and gladly, they agreed. ' ' Do you mind if Bob goes along? He put me on their trail first and he ' ll be disappointed if he can ' t go. ' ' Certainly, the boy may go. answered his father. He ' s has as much trouble as ] in keeping those old mules out of the corn. Thus it was arranged. Mr. Smith e.xjjlained to ISob what he had discovered and the boy ' s excitement could hardly be controlled. It ' s better ' n a story ! he exclaimed. Until the time came to start. Bob thought that the minutes had never passed so slowly. The party went quietly to the old deserted cabin. A light showing thru the chinks and a dull thump, thump told that the ones thy sought were within. As the cabin had only one door and one tiny window, ] Ir. Smith placed Bob behind the window while he and the other two guarded the door. In a pause between the thumps, they heard Johnson siy, I ' m glad this job is nearly finished. We ' ve got to get out of this place pretty soon and you fellows must get out of the neighborhood. There ' s too much talk going on about that fire last night. I made a good job of it, growled one. One reason why it ' s so important for you to get away. I took good care to be seen by some folks around here who think they are ' some punkins. ' Xobody knows you are here, so no suspicion can fall on you. Will ' ou get Carter ' s farm, now? I think so. He expected to pay the mortgage from t!ie ]iroceeds of the wheat ; but, of course, he can ' t now. The farm is easily worth eight thousand. I ' ll have a fair-sized country place when this is added to mine. Where do we come in ? Oh, you ' ll get your share when I get the farm. Just finish this and get away from here. ' ' Outside the minutes had passed like hours to Bob. At last, he heard ] Ir. Smith open the door and say, Yes, Joe, there ' s a nice place waiting for you on the road. The men turned quickly to find themselves covered by a revolver. Hands up! commanded Mr. .Smith, sharply. There ' s no use to try any tricks, Johnson, We have you for keeps this time. The guilty men stood cowed by the pistol and the keen, hard eyes behind it. After calling in the others, i Ir. Smith, with their aid, quickly bound the hands of the counterfeiters together. X ' ow. vou fellows, move on up to Mr. Carter ' s house, commanded the government officer. Arrived there, the detective said. ' Sir. Carter, if you don ' t mind, I ' d like to borrow your horse and wagon to carry these fellows to jail. Tlien he turned to Rob, There ' s a reward of four thousand ofl!ered for these men, and it ' s coming to you, he said kindly. But I didn ' t capture them, remonstrated Bob, bewildered, yet delighted. No, but I ' d never ha e found them if it hadn ' t been for you. Oh, Dad, we can pay the mortgage, now ! exclaimed Bob.

We became very enthusiastic, and on October 23, 1914, took a trip to Annapolis to see the Naval Academy, and, if possible, to see a little something of die football game! Bertie C, under Dr. Smith ' s guidance, rounded up our party early in the morning, and we left on an early train for Washington, going from there by trolley to Annapolis. Dr. Smith ' s brother. Lieutenant Taylor Smith, U. S. N., and his wife cordially welcomed us to their home, which became headquarters for the day. With them we visited all the interesting places on the Naval Academy grounds and in the buildings. We were particularly interested in the tomb in the chapel where the body of John Paul Jones now rests, because of his asso- ciations with Fredericksburg, his only home in America. The monument which commemorates the opening of commerce between the United States and Japan, and the flags captured from other nations, were of great interest to us. The morning drills on the broad, sunny campus, just beyond which lies the glittering water ; the dinner formation in prompt response 1:0 the bugle call, and the inspiring strains of the band playing martial airs still linger in our memories. Mrs. Smith ' s dainty luncheon was one of the most popular features of the day. The game between the Naval Academy and the Western Reserves was well played. While seating ourselves on the grandstand with the midshipmen, whom should we see but our own Dean, Mr. Chandler, who surprised us b} ' coming. The cheering at the Naval Academy is a fine art, and the rooting of the middies— it was some rooting !— and meant winning for the Academy that day. Going home, with tired bodies but happy hearts, we decided that if Annapolis was in Falmouth, Hfe would be worth living. |. m. (E. A. Innk Party -p X the night of November 3 all the students and the faculty were invited by the Y. W. C. A. to a Book Party ,JL in the auditorium. The girls were asked to come representing some well-known book. As a result the audi- torium represented a human library. The books, being well chosen, were very effectively carried out. Excitement held full sway while each girl tried to guess the greatest number of books. When time was called Janet LaCrosse was awarded the first prize, a box of candy. Several games were plaved, a bountiful supper was served, and everyone voted the evening delightful. The third Y. W. C. A. entertainment of the year was held in the auditorium February 12, 1915. Ir. Carmichael. a splendid impersonator, who at one time was connected with Polk :Miller, gave a number of humorous readings in negro dialect. He was encored again and again, each selection being received with more enthusiasm than the last. Miss Fraser and Mr. Chas. Hassell then sang a duet, which was followed by a solo by Air. Hassell. ' hile refresh- ments were being served the Victrola was played, after which Mr. Carmichael gave his final reading. laUoiupVit m h iMarBlimallnuiH o XE of the most enjoyable aftairs of the year was a marshmallow toast given by the faculty on Hallowe ' en night to the students of the school. The campus was dotted with many bonfires, around which we toasted the marsh- mallows, and incidentally our fingers. When the last marshmallow had been toasted we formed a great circle and danced about the dying tires, singing old-time songs. Everyone had a most delightful time and decided that the occasion was one which was well worthy of being repeated at future Hallowe ' en celebrations. I. (E. A. S riitmu y - lHE Young Women ' s Christian Association gave a reception on the evening of September ig, 1914, in honor 01 Vl ' the new girls. The receiving Hne was composed of the Y. W. C. A. cabinet and faculty adviser, j Iiss Stone, g g who welcomed the entire student bodv and faculty, making the new girls feel as if they, too, were old girls. ' The evening ' s entertainment was begun by a r,;union of the Washington, Lee, Madison and Jefferson fam- ilies, and to the surprise of all every student and every member of the faculty belonged to one of these four distin- guished families! Miss Fraser gave several musical selections, which charmed all who were present. Last but no; least were the refreshments, after which the evening ' s enjoyment closed. ©h? II. m. d. A. lasaar o =r o IHE Christmas Bazaar given for the benefit of the Y. W. C. A. was held in Russell Hall on the 12th of December, In the dining-room of the Household Arts Department a dainty supper was served, and sandwiches and candy g were sold in another part of the room. The fancy-work booth made a gay and tempting display of Christmas gifts. An especial attraction was the Japanese table, where genuine Japanese articles were sold by a little Jap. All of the fancy articles were made by the girls in school, and it is to them that the success of the Bazaar was due. Seventy dollars was realized. During- the evening moving pictures were shown in the auditorium. In spite of the 1)ad weather the Bazaar was a most marked success. ®1t? iFarulty dbrtHtmaH mn X ' the night before Christmas lioHdays evcr one was surprised with an invitation to come o ' er to the auditorium to sing Christmas carols. WS ii Ve went to sing, but remained to — well, to enjoy very many surprises. Christmas glees and carols by ] Iiss F ' raser and Miss larie Ward; selections by the Glee Club, and a lovely German Carol by Miss Marshall in- creased our pleasure. We were preparing to leave when all of a sudden the lights went out. The curtain slowly rose, and what should we see on the stage but the most brilliantly lighted tree ! That w asn ' t all. either, for cornucopias filled with Christ- mas candies were given to e eryone. We went away, feeling as though we had been isited by the Old Saint himself, and with the Christmas Spirit increased tenfold. (0nr ®rt j tn Hasluniiitou HE study of arts and craftswork is being made in a 1 our schools to draw inspiration from the earlv masters, so we. a small band of thirteen, having studied th: historical development in one of our departments, and the process in two other departments, in our school, went to ' ashing■ton Friday. Jan. 22. to see what made in America meant. This special exhibit of Arts and Crafts was given in the ( )ctagon House, which was at one time the home of Dolly iladison. The house, built in Colonial style, is named from its unusual plan, and is famous as the meeting place of many distinguished statesmen. The exhibit under the auspices of the Art and .Archaeology League displayed modern and e ery-day handicraft work. Silverware designed by Paul Re ere. whose name stands as high in that art as it does in American liistory, was exhibited next to the work of contemporary silversmiths. Tapestries and prints from ancient and modern looms were displayed, and the work in binding and illuminating books was shown. Jewelry designing held a beautiful place as the work of American women. Laces and furniture, pottery and glass were important features of the exhibit. Note books, made in school were quickly produced and sketches and designs were made for home use. But the exhibit was not all. ( )ur horizons could be broadened still more. After a satisfying lunch, off we went to the National Museum. You have been there — so you know what we saw, and we are ready to go again to see the rest! Then to Rock Creek, to see St. Gauden ' s wonderful Peace. The Corcoran Gallery was the next jjoint, and although we saw the beautiful paintings and statuary there, and the Bureau of South American Republics, and Billy Burke in Jerry, L ' ncle Sam at work, the Congressional Librarv and the White House, all paled before the climax of our trip, which was the meeting with the I ' resident, whose grave, kindly and courteous greeting and cordial handshake went straight to our hearts. Do we remember the trip? Did it make an impression on us .■ ' Ask us. We number thirteen, and can truly say that we had good luck and a good time, even if two of us did get lost, and had to be found; even if we did buy post- cards at every corner: e en if we did go home at night tired out, at least we went rejoicing, and we too can say Haec olim meminis se juvabit.

Dear Girls. — When I passed through ] ' ' redericksburg last fall en route here. I would have given anything in the world to stay there, for I had rather encounter snares and hardships with two hundred girls in the same fix than face it all alone in the wilderness. However, I didn ' t have my choice, so the latter has been my fate. The times my forty-two dear little angels (?) and I have would make a horse laugh. (I don ' t use such vulgar expressions in school.) I have children and old folks from the cradle to the grave. Lots of them are larger, and two older than I am ; so you see my life is in danger if a strike should arise, unless I raise it. Don ' t tell Mr. Tyner, but I have whipped two children. If I didn ' t do that their parents would say they aint a-learnhi ' nothin ' ; so they haven ' t learned much if that is true. Begging Mr. Tyner ' s pardon, I never did believe there was much Idealism in Education, and now I know there isn ' t a crumb of it ; it ' s all just plain grinding. What I want to know is, ought a teacher give twice . ' is much as anyone else to everything going, from helping the Belgians to buying patent hair tonic? I can ' t keep a cent, but nobody ever expected it of me, if they knew me. If this isn ' t too long I ' d like to be sensible one minute and say that I ' m getting on all right and love the work generally. My best wishes to the class of ' 15 for every success and to the Faculty (including latest additions.) Sincerely yours, Nanxie C. Oliver. Er.iz.vuETH Jesse writes that she is teaching the Black Haw School near Elmont, in Hanover countv. LuciLE BuRTOx is taking fourth-year work in the High School at her home. She contemplates returning to the Normal next year. Kathleex White has been trying her success at farming, just a few miles from Richmond. She, also, has a small class of instrumental pupils and finds the work very interesting. She is much excited over the European War, and, being a patriotic Canadian, she expresses a desire to enlist if worst comes to worst. Alumnar lErltnpH. Jennie Chwell has charge of a one-room school at the foot of the Blue Ridge mountains iu Nelson Count} ' . She finds ' it difficult to train forty-one youngsters in the way that she wishes them to go. Annie Scott writes that she is enjoying the work as teacher of the fifth grade in the Cheriton High School. Her attendance at several parties recently indicates that she finds time for other things besides teaching. A ERN.v Rooks is teaching the first grade in the Cheriton High School. HiLD.v Broaddus is instructing forty stubborn ( ?) children in the fourth, fifth and sixth grade work in the JMarriott High School. Due to the fact that the principal is a married man, she reports the work to 1:ie running quite smoothly. Ora Harris is staying at home this winter. If the reports of iMadame Rumor be true, a course in domestic science would prove invaluable to her in the near future. Julia Ke. ton is at present teaching in the third grade in Hampton, her home town. She took a course in wood- working at Columbia University last summer. She expects to continue the course next vacation. Clar.v (in Hofstex considers herself fortunate to be teaching school at her home near Peter.sburg. She is very much interested in teaching fifty-five talkative boys and girls of the first and second grades. Lottie Bro.vddus and Mrginia Saunders are teaching in the High School at Jerrell, Caroline County. S.VLLY NoRRis is a popular teacher in one of the third grades in the Fredericksburg Public School. CoR. Rowe is staying this year at her beautiful home, Brompton, in Fredericksburg. The Kennedy sisters have positions as teachers in their home town, lincral. Glimpses of their social life are revealed to us through the county paper. Rutit Post is principal of a graded school at JMica, in Caroline County. Annie L. t. ne W. re has the same position as last year — teacher of the fourth and fifth grades in the Church View High School Middlesex County. She writes: My pupils are interesting and keep my time well occupied. Sometimes they give some startling information such as the following: — The brain is found in the voice-box; the tonsils are on the tip of the tongue ; to illustrate the difference between proper and common nouns — All mules are mules, but Katv is one mule. ' Grai-i.vm Mastin writes that the call of the profession was so insistent that she is teaching this year in spite of her resolution to the contrary. She has work in every grade from the fourth to the ninth in the splendidly- equipped High School at Danieltown, in Brunswick Count} ' . Besides teaching, she says she is learning, among many Aluntuar trhnrs. things, how voefull_y ignorant she is. (Can this be true of the intehectual liss ] Iastin?) She also confesses that the business of teaching is wonderfully interesting as revealed by the following experiences : A sixth grade pupil in reply to the question Who is the present Governor of X ' irginia: answered, ' oodrow A ilson is something, but I don ' t know what. Further questioning showed that none of tl ' ie class knew more than that: — To the question Who makes our laws? one of the pupils gave the startling information, The king of England. This after all the fighting of George Washington and our forefathers ! Or. Gricex informs us that after graduation she went to the mountains of Southwest Virginia to teach school. The peculiar charm of the hills induced her to return this year. Many amusing instances have occiu ' red in her instruction of the little mountaineers. ( )ne dav on an English test she asked the question — E.xplain the difference between the erbs. lay and lie. The following answer was given: When you hear an old hen cackle, if you go to the nest and tind an egg, she has laid, but if vou do not find an egg she has lied. ( )n another occasion a boy naming the Xew England States said Maine. New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and ' Rhode Island Reds. ' Etiiet. Joiixstox is principal of a graded school in Pittsylvania County. She thinks teaching is perfectly fine! A fine library has been obtained through her efforts. Eliz.vf.kth Gokdox and Eliz. beth I-JiLLixasLEV, better known as Beth and Bill, are teachers in the Chan- cellor High School in Spotsylvania Countv. Ruth Willi. .ms is enjoying her work as a teacher in I ' rince George County. Ett.v D.wis has charge of the first four grades in a two-room school near Ashland, A ' irginia. and although many puzzling problems arise, she is happy in her work. She has an enrollment of forty-nine pupils and wonders if Miss Strong would attempt to make out a lesson plan for each recitation every day. (Jne of her pupils in fourth grade geography announced one day that Cattle are min d around Lake Superior. The third grade ' s knowledge of geography after a month ' s study of the subject consist ;d of the following, ly teacher is ?iliss Davis, and I am in the East Hemisphere. Helen Muxro is putting her knowledge of Domestic Science learned here last session into practical application in se -eral of the public schools of Elorida. Many of her pupils are of Spanish descent. It is almost with envy that we think of her teaching in that Southern clime, where the sun always shines and flowers blossom in profusion all the year round. Je. x Gk.wes is at Richlands, A ' a., busy looking after fifty third-grade infants, one of whom is especially inter- esting — namely, Billie llab. One day he greatly shocked his teacher b - giving the following information as to what Alumnaf iErlinrs. Confederates are : — Miss Graves, I know what them is ! I seen some of ' em down here working on the road- machine, and they ah wore striped clothes. Ruth Lord is occupied with High School work in the same school with Jean. Evidently, she aspires to higher things than the rest of us. Kathleen Scott, also, has charge of the young hopefuls of the first grade in this school. She particularly desires her Normal friends to note the fact that she is quite successful in her work, even to the point of captivating a young man ' s heart, hut even then, she says no matrimonial ideas even enter her mind. Poor fellow ! Horror of horrors ! All three report that at any hour of the day observers are likely to appear on the scene, but despite this lamentable fact, the work is exceedingly interesting and well-organized. Rugby Road, University of Virginia. Someone suggested that I make a good story of almost getting drowned at the beach last summer and being rescued by a handsome youth. The objection to this was that the hero in every short story (no matter how short the story be) always marries the heroine. The heroine in this case is still a school teacher and so turns to this side of her life in search of happenings. My school is a private one, consisting chiefly of professors children, twenty-three in number. We have a small building (three rooms) and quite a nice yard. This yard is the scene of many exciting games, Prisoner ' s Base especially. I have become such an enthusiast on the subject of this game that I rejoice when recess comes and the ground is dry enough to play. Thanksgiving the children gave a plav, entitled The First Thanksgiving and written by the highest English class, for the relief of the Belgians. The children made their own costumes with the help of the teachers. Much to our surprise, more than seven dollars were realized for this purpose. We are planning to have a Greek play in the spring. Helen Lane Daniel. Jane Garth accepted a position last fall as teacher of the fifth and sixth grades in Louisa High School, where she taught four months. Being offered a better position, she left Louisa in January and is at present engaged in 2 B work in the city of Roanoke. Alutnuar trhore. Richmond. Va. Acting on the suggestion of r Iiss Gay XA ' ilson, which was approved by President E. H. Russell, the members of the Fredericksburg State Normal Alumn,-e. wl.o c.re teaching in Richmond and vicinity, met on December the eighteenth, and organized themselves into an association known as the Richmond Chapter of the Fredericksburg State Xormal Alumn?e. The purpose of the association is to promote social intercourse between its members and to assist in furthering the interests of the school. The following officers were appointed for the ensuing year : — G. Y Wilson, President Pauline Perry, Secretary Ethel Nash, ' ice-President jNIae Perrix, Treasurer Members Helen Phillips WTxxie Walker Clara vox Hofsten Anne Henry Mrs. Nf-Ttie Moxtciomery Deaderich Belle Pearce BuFORD Lyne Be.virice Ashley Mary Deierhoi ;Mary Ein Coleman has been studying music this winter at the School of INIusic in Fredericksburg. Shj expects to graduate in Music, Theory and Ifarmony in June. In addition to being a student, she instructs several pupils in instrumental music. Julia Raiforo is engaged in primary work in a grad.-d school near Franklin, in Southampton County. ;M. ry Acree has charge of fifty pupils in the first three grades in the Marriott High School, the school in which she herself graduated. She has had quite an experience traveling over the muddy roads this winter, but she is very fond of teaching and finds her work quite interesting. Wavfrly Law.s(;x is the teacher of the third and fourth grades of the Hayes Store High School. She writes that she likes teaching, but had rather be a student at the dear old Normal School. Sar. Temple Segar is teaching the first three grades in the Saluda High School. The little children are so interesting that she says she wouldn ' t teach anv other grades for the world. ;M. xie Acree writes that she is having many wonderful experiences as a teacher of the fourth, fifth and sixth grades in the Newton High School, King and Queen County. Alumnar Eriinrs. ' Imagine me, the youngest member of the Senior Class of 1914, going out into the country to teach ! I arrived at the station in Farmville and visited the oldest Normal school in the state. Then came the drive of ten miles out in Buckingham County, where I was introduced to the school and children that I was to teach for a whole long session. This small school contrasted strangely with the large and well-equipped rooms of the Training School, where I had taught the previous year. However, the first impression was not lasting, as I soon discovered that I had entered a most delightful com- munity, and my work among the pupils and parents grew more interesting daily. Flor.i Hill. P. S. — The entire Alumnre unanimously report that the Normal School training has proved invaluable to them in solving many difficult problems.

American Literature By John Calvin Metcalf. Litt. D. A fuller treatment of Southern tvriters is to be found in Metcalf s American Literature than iu any similar text. In the last decade or tivo the recoguiliou of the literary contribution of the South has steadily grown, until the space alloted to the sub- ject has assumed respectable proportions. In recent histories it covers many pages. Evenyet. however, we have only imperfectly come to understand the far-reaching consequence in our literary development in the South since 1870; ivhile the sterling worth of a few older authors is just now becoming more apparent as ive are getting far enough away from the adverse conditions under which they wrote to see things in right perspective. 415 Pages, Illustrated.
