The Battlefield 1927 State Teachers College fredericksburgMrginia Time, 1 on Ola Oypsy M.aii Time, you old Gypsy man, Will you not stay, Put up your caravan Just for one day? All things I ' ll give you Will you be my guest. Bells for your jennet Of silver the best. Goldsmiths shall beat you A great golden ring. Peacocks shall bow to you, Little boys sing. Oh, and sweet girls will Festoon you with may. Time, you old gypsy. Why hasten away? Last week in Babylon, Last night in Rome, Morning, and in the crush Under Paul ' s dome; Under Paul ' s dial You tighten your rein — Only a moment. And off once again : Off to some city Now blind in the womb. Off to another Ere that ' s in the tomb. Time, you old Gypsy man. Will you not stay. Put up your caravan Just for one day? — Ralph Hodgson. (Reprinted from Moclern American and British Poetry. by Unteinieyer by permission of The Macmillan Company.)

And die winds are cool, and blow carelessly toward the day: Do not go in the night: what does the moon care. As long as the clouds are kind, and her heavenly path is fair? If you must go, go in the heat of the sun. For sunlight will cover and hide you. until day is done. Leave me the comfort of shadows, and trees, and light. If you must go, do not go in the night. Do not go in the night: the sky is so dark and far That the brightest path of the moonlight cannot obscure a star. Even the tree-limbs shiver, and sob, and bow their leaves in grief- Leave me when color can comfort me— give me relief. If you must go. wait till the ribbons of dawn Draw the cold stars out of sight, and pattern the lawn In broad stripes of gold; and the earth is friendly and bright; If you must go. do not go in the night. — MUSSELMAN. lis .iidLanu-iiiiiM ' ta ' limn and tk Jl ' aeiailili A.

Va. Art Editor of The Bullet 1926-27 Little Cabinet 1926-27 66 Uncle Peter says: Just because your tru3 love writes that he ' s interested in heavenly bodies — don ' t think he ' s studying astronomy . Maybe he ' s taking a course in art. Love is only the false illusion that one man is different from all other men. ' There ' s onlv one sin you can ' t commit and hide it from the world eating onions! Trying to be good is a lonesome job! Do right and fear no man. Do not write and fear no woman. There ' s only one permanent name on the black-list — Wallace. The more one loves blondes — the more one loves. The queerest — tlie QUEEREST — thing on this earth is a Woman. The biggest liar in the world — A College Catalogue. Sin has many tools, and a lie is a handle that fits them all. The earlv bird gets the worm, but who likes worms? Ignorance may be bliss, but it is not preparedness. 67 V £.Ie  Oc rajL pv I v! 1 AC X f Ayu f mM LOIS EILEEN KRAMER Adviser DUVAL CHRISTIAN President Atlanta, Georgia ANN HOGAN Vice-President Keysville, Virginia DOROTHY WILKINSON Treasurer Lynchburg, Virginia HILDA T.

HURRAH! 1-9-2-8, 1-9-2-8 To this, the class chant, the Billy Goat Class has rallied to the extent of thirty or more Juniors who are to be the Seniors of ' 28. So effectively have the Billy Goats butted in that in two major sports the Green and Gold banners have emerged triumphantly! With many joyful Baa ' s the goats came forth from the field of battle as undisputed champions of Hockey, having defeated decisively the Freshman and Senior teams. Not content with this victory, the Billy Goat Sextette sallied forth to indulge in a game or two of Basketball and after a brief interval came back with the scalps of The Little Sisters and The Devilish Demons, or the Freshmen and Sophomore teams respect- ively. The latter game marked a red letter day in Billy Goat History. Evidence points to the fact that the Billy Goats are going strong for the class cup in athletics. A member of the Billy Goat Class having won an individual cup for athletic efficiency, nothing would be more opportune than to add another trophy to the list. Significant in the activities of the Billy Goats was the for- warding and instituting of the Even and Odd Movement in college, whereby the two even year classes — Juniors and Freshmen — were banded together as friendly classes having the same ideals! Billy Goat talent was utilized most successfullv in the class benefit — The Advertiser ' s Revue — which was one of the most note- worthy efforts of the year. Thanks to the aid of the other classes, the production was a huge success. All in all, the Billy Goats have made some history, so here ' s to: 1-9-2-8, 1-9-2-8, Hurrah! Hurrah! 1-9-2-8, 1-9-2-8. 81 Jrlmis to ilie Oeipiess 1.— HOW TO RECOVER ONE ' S COAT AFTER MEALS a. Hurry through meal, even foregoing the joys of ice cream if necessary, in order to be the first to leave the dining room. b. Rush madly to the cloak racks. c. Count down ten hooks, back four, and there it should be. d. To avoid all possible mistake in identity consult inside of pocket, for there only is the true color (Frances Willard is not swept daily). e. Shut eyes and stroke it. Does it feel like the same familiar weave that has weathered three hill-top winters? . Now smell it. Does it give forth that delicious combination of Coty ' s L ' Origan, the atmosphere of the kitchen, and a faint, almost imperceptible odor of by-gone days — tobacco! 2.— HOW TO GET A RIDE TO TOWN a. For several weeks in advance notice the trousseau of your numerous ac- quaintances. b. With pencil and paper note those articles which would be becoming to you. c. Now attired in your borrowed plumage — leave your dorm. d. Saunter slowly towards town, remembering the tone of the hill. e. At each passing car smile sweetly but demurely. . If no rides so far, try more drastic smiles, bewitchingly, threateningly, promisinglv. ( You understand, of course. I g. And if still you are using nature ' s own means of locomotion, then d it, break a heel. h. In the event that you are as yet without a visible means of transportation — faint! 3.— HOW TO BE A POPULAR FRESHMAN a. When first you board the train Fredericksburg bound, rush up to the old girls as if they were long-lost friends. b. Throughout the journey impress upon them the popularity that was yours during High School. c. On arriving at College find fault with your room, roommates, food, rules, school regime in general. d. In classes answer every question whether or not you have any idea as to the subject matter. e. In dancing at night be sure to demonstrate your home-town talent. . In class meetings and general assemblies it is necessary to make yourself very conspicuous by loud talking and giggling. g. You should by this time be quite well known to the student body and are known as the Popular Freshman. 82 .MARY PHOEBE ENDERS Adviser CATHERINE HAYDON Past Offense: Making Sophs step.

I have been hear just one day and learnt that. In the first place it was so much dignifieder to come in today insted of yesterday when that mob of freshmen arrived — feature having been mixed in with them and possibly having someday been mis- taken for one of them! Poor children, I feel sorry for them though, running around hear with their red eyes and noses. I wonder that they don ' t take a tip from the class above them and acquire some poise. Perhaps they ' ll get it in time. Such infantile conduct does lower the collegiate morale of the school so. I ' m glad I didn ' t act so foolishly when I was a freshman. These Juniors around hear think there are just two people on the campus and both of them are Juniors. If you aren ' t a Junior you simply don ' t exist, that ' s all. Feature such conceit, can you? Well, unbelievable as it may seem, that ' s the way they see the world. I ' m so glad now that I did flunk that year in high school. The Seniors aren ' t such a bad lot but feature being so fright- fully old and so painfully dignified as the poor dears are! Most of them are at least twenty-one. You can see every time they look at you that they are thinking to themselves, Oh! how I envy you your youth and vigger! Yes, our Red Devils certainly are symbolic of the best there is around here. This wouldn ' t be much of a place without us, I can tell you that. It certainly is fine to be a Sophomore. Personally, I wouldn ' t be anything else. Your Devilish Sophomore Daughter. P.

Dear Diary, well Tve got here at last and I ' m feeling quite collegiate. Some of the nicest girls from the Y. W. C. A. met us at the train and they were the jolliest bunc h. They laughed a lot especially when I asked if Y. W. C. A. meant Young Women ' s Charleston Academy, but I didn ' t see anything to laugh at. I ' m all registered now and a full-fledged freshman. Oh, what will the morrow bring? SUNDAY: — Oct. 3. My, I ' ve learned a lot since I ' ve been here and I know now what Y. W. C. A. means. All who wanted to join it became members tonight at the installation service. We all were dressed entirely in white and by candle light we sang Follow the Gleam on the campus. Oh. I can ' t write it: it was too beautiful and it still makes me feel thrills when I think of it. MONDAY: — Nov. 1. Spooks and witches, we had a Hallowe ' en celebration tonight down town and as the poets say, a lovely time was had by all. We also had a bonfire on the campus and dined royally on gin gerbread and cider. Good! Oh my! FRIDAY: — Nov. 5. The Sophs gave us the darlingest tacky party tonight and I nearly died from laughter. The eats were so good, peanuts, lollypops and ice cream cones. Dr. Chandler took first prize and he surely deserved it and no one else had a chance even if they did don their funniest rags. When we have things like thai. I like this place just heaps. Wouldn ' t you? TUESDAY:— Dec. 21. Oh, I can ' t wait! Xmas holidays begin tomorrow. Just think, ten solid days of bliss and then — then we forget. Oh, I can ' t wait, I can ' t breathe, tomorrow! Thrills and breaks of the heart. WEDNESDAY:— March 2. Hooray! Let ' s celebrate, but how? We (The Evens) beat the Odds in Basketball, score 19-18. It was such an exciting game and poor us came in for a lot of rough play, but so did the goat. He survived though and so did we. It ' s been a wonderful night. FRIDAY : — April 8. The lowly Freshmen put on their Benefit tonight, diary, and believe me. it was good. Everybody thought so and so did we. Ain ' t it a grand and glorious feelin ' ? JUNE 6: — And the next day it snowed. No, not that, we merely went home for vacation. 131 QZ ' 1 ime is -- Too slow for those who wait, Too swift for those who fear, Too long for those who grieve, Too short for those who rejoice; But for those who love Time is eternity. — Henry Van Dyke. 132 ® ® lau muti Jnogan Vii pma l luss Lost liuolivuttiaal AU-I Katli Demice VV oot Af£rac£iive Wiitiesil ie l lcJL augltiliiii LaflLenaoiseile Voguie Lary JByra JBuixitoii F irst Impressions oi O, 1 o Oo September 30, 1926. Dearest Mother: I thought you put everything in my trunk that 1 wuuhl need, but you forgot one thing, and that is a big flowered bag. 1 saw all the girls from Betty Lewis coming up the hill with the most gorgeous bookbags I have ever seen. I ru shed off to class, but didn ' t see any pretty bags in Monroe. I guess all the girls put them in their pockets. The next day I noticed the Frances Willard girls carrying the same kind of bags. I decided that I surely must have one. The very next day the girls in my dormitory went out with their book- bags. I put several books in my bag — Science, History, and Latin — and followed the crowd. We didn ' t go to Monroe, but went down to another building, down some steps, and left our bags in a huge pile. Several days passed before I saw any more girls with bags, but finally I notic3d that girls were bringing their bookbags back. I don ' t see why they do this, but isn ' t it a cute custom? I looked for mv bag, but couldn ' t find it anywhere. I guess I ' ll have to have another History, a Latin, and a Science. Please send a check for them right away with all the news from Cobham, the old home town. Love, — JiNNiE Sue. 1 Ills Jr iiysicai Cjiyni The first clay the new-comer will find that the physical gym exams can be likened unto the great Judgment day.

How solemnly thou seemest to rise, like a vapory cloud ! What kingly stateliness, what majestic grace! Thou, Guiding Spirit, enthroned in misty shroud. In adoration we behold thee in thy sacred place. — Willie Mae Moore. ANNOUNCEMENT The personnel of the Southwest Virginia Club is constituted primarily of those who come from the Southwest section of the State, but those from West Virginia and from Tennessee also cast in their lot with this mountain folk. For four years the Club, always modest in number, has kept its rendezvous with its members in monthly meetings. There across the teacups when Winter Winds did blow, or over glasses that tinkled with ice in May-time warmth — arose memoirs of a sentiment that made all a-kin, memoirs of the Mountains Blue and Eternal. So it is each year: the personnel of the Club changes, for there are those who come and those who go, but the warmth of hand and the friendliness of heart which characterizes this little club will always find expression in the comraderie as sweet to its members as old-fashioned Rosmary.

Is it how you lose, or how you play the game? It has been proven this year on our courts that it is a sum total of all these. In our class games, every girl played her best, even when she knew her team was losing the game. She realized they were only losing the score, and that was very little in a good game. What has been meant by a good sport has been realized by the student body. This was shown in the loyal sup- port given our Varsity teams. Play for the joy of it. Play as hard as you can; give your opponent the best game you can. But if you lose, let it be only in score and not in temper and good sportsmanship. Take pleasure in the game. Always wish and try to win, but do not wish to win so hard that you cannot be happy without it. Be ready to share with others the honor given you. It isn ' t the fact that you beat that counts. But how did you fight, and why? 174 V arsiiy JDaslkeibal KATHERINE MICKS Manager FIRST TEAM Ann Hocan, Captain Ruth Brown Claudia Wilkins Lena Johnson Helen McKenney Jesse Squire SECOND TEAM Molly Vaughan Helen Potter Teckla Dreifus Dorothy Draper Mary Lee Straughan Hilda Belote Eva Morrison Rebecca Pittman Allene Headley Alice Lewis Starr Croasdale Flora Norris Sara Le y Lucy Hobson JniocJkd CLAUDIA WILKINS Captain Mary Alice Spillman Jesse Squire Alice Lewis Teckla Dreifus Ann Hocan Hilda Belote Lena Johnson Helen jMcKenney Emma Cooke Elizabeth Harrison JeiiioF OocJk« JESSIE SQUIRE Captain Lucy Hobson Mary Alice Spillman Emeline Anderson Henrietta Dreifus India Dices Elizabeth Crismond Lena Johnson Katherine Micks Ellen Fox Bernice Wood Julia Ellison Mary McLaughlin Jesse Squire Mary Alice Spillman tbeiiior ibaske L h i KATHERINE MICKS Captain Elizabeth Crismond Virginia Musselman Emeline Anderson Bernice Wood Ann Hocan Alice Lewis Teckla Dreifus CLAUDIA WILKLNS Captain Sally B.

Presidio boasted of three hundred inhabitants, most of whom were indolently taking a siesta with silk handkerchiefs over their faces. The sky was almost white in the glare, and shimmers of heat danced around the adobe huts. Little whirlwinds of dust circled up the road, covering Juan ' s sunflowers with a coating of white. Lizards lounged sensuously in the sunlight, their iridescent backs flashing into purple and blue. A solitary vulture hovered over the village, his wings beating back the eddies of heat that threatened to engulf him. The only sound to break the sultry stillness was the drowsy droning of the bees behind Phillipe ' s cowshed. Presidio was asleep — sleeping peacefully on this side of the Rio Grande, dream- ing of the days when it was a part of Mexico, and no American garrison was stationed to quell any disturbances. In those days justice was a matter of rapid retaliation. A man might peacefully eat his frijoles one night, and be shoveled into the earth the next. A surly glance, an insulting drawl, a contemptuous silence could easily and expeditiously be settled by a lightning-like movement of the arm, and a sudden flash of a pistol. Ah, those were the days when the gay caballeros galloped through the village, yelling and shouting their way into recognition. Big Bill ' s saloon had swarmed with them. Beautiful dancing girls, with roses behind their ears, had glanced from under their mantillas, and set on fire the hearts of the vacqueros, already aflame with wine. Madre di Dios! Then there were the races, when yellow bearded strangers from the North had dared compete with the shining blacks of the South. How the saddles had shone with beaten silver! How the ribbons had gleamed in the golden sunlight! Surely in those days life was well worth the living! Not that Presidio objected to the garrison. It was the source of an endless stream of gossip. It furnished a daily entertairment when line after line of khaki- clad figures marched by, between the groups of curious faces that thronged each doorway. It even furnished an unconscious thrill when the flag billowed out into glorious waves of color. Besides, had not Carillo so prospered from its trade that he was moved to buy a Ford, which, though it creaked and rattled through every joint, managed to clamber over the hills? Did not Guido sell such quantities of milk and butter that he had bought two cows? Had not Faquita and Benicia sold all their laces, and had not the supply of silver ornaments and pottery been almost exhausted? Every night the young fellows came to Marquita ' s to buy her enchilados. No. Presidio could not complain of the garrison. The little, brown babies grinned delightedly at the gifts of candy and pennies. Even the dogs led a better-fed exist- ence since the United States had seen fit to station its soldiers there. In the shadow of his tent at the far end of the garrison, Dick Harrison sat moodily in his folding chair, arms on knees and head in hands. He stared out into 184 the glare of the afternoon, across the glitter of the road, to where, far away, a great range of mountains glimmered through their purple haze. On their peaks were white crowns of snow, to him the only familiar thing in this barren, desolate waste- land. What wouldn ' t lie give to see a long stretch of snow-clad country, with fir trees making dark shadows against the whiteness. Only five days before Christmas! Only five days before Christmas! Why, this time last year he was gliding up to the front of a big, white-pillared home, in a limousine filled with holly wreaths and mistletoe. The snow had come down in great flakes, and he remembered how they had shone on Betty ' s eyelashes as she came out to greet him. Inside, the long, white-panelled rooms were full of bustle and confusion. Tissue paper was strewn around. Red ribbons and holly seals littered the long tables. A big fire blazed at one end of the living room, its flames reflected on the polished floor, where Flip, the little, black cat. lay stretched contentedly. There was a din of laughter and shouts throughout the house; much secrecy, much curiosity, much glow of happiness. They had danced through the nights, while the stars glittered down upon a world as bright. The days flew on. Strangely shaped packages accumulated behind the doors. On Christmas Eve the Tree was put up, standing straight and slim. He and Betty were chosen to decorate it. Betty wound the tinsel about her neck to hold it, filled her mouth with pins, and mounted the stepladder. Dick handed her the vari-colored balls, the candles, the long strings of crimson; the tree began to gleam and glitter. They had flung handfuls of snow over it, and at last, standing on tiptoe on top of the ladder, Betty had fastened the big, shining Star to the tipmost limb of the Tree. Turning to descend, she caught Dick ' s eye. When you come down, I ' m going to kiss you! She shook her brown head until the flecks of tinsel on it twinkled. No. Do you want me to burn the towers of Ilium? Meaning this ladder? Mercy, no! When you come down that ladder, you ' ll walk straight into my heart. Please, Betty! Betty sat down on the top step, and considered him seriously, chin in hand. I always have had a liking for high altitudes. Besides, far be it from me to destroy this Romeo-Juliet setting! It isn ' t every day that a young man reclines pleadingly at my feet. No, Dick, not even for you can I forswear this enthralling scene. Think of how it would sound! ' oung Millionaire Lays Siege to Ladder to Win Girl. ' Oh I ' m simply thrilled to death! Betty, won ' t you be serious? I ' m afraid to. Why, you might break my heart as you have all the others. Besides, mine ' s been shattered twice this winter, and I ' m trying to preserve it until Spring. Don ' t you think that ' s very laudable in me? I tell you, Dick! Wait until Spring, when violets start blooming, and robins come, and tadpoles start wiggling. I ' m awfully impressionable at that time! Betty, listen to me. I ' m serious, honey. I ' m trying to tell you that I adore every atom of you, and I ' m feebly asking you to marry me. Won ' t you, Bettv? Betty looked at him intently for a moment. You ' ve made love to so many girls — even me — that none of us ever thought of you seriously. We ' ve had such a good time together. But somehow, I can ' t imagine you and me married. We ' re both too pleasure-mad. I ' ve thought this out before, and this is what I ' ve concluded: When a man comes to me with his hands hard from work, his face tanned, his collar unbuttoned, and tells me that he loves me, and is willing to work to win me, I ' ll marry him. But you? You ' ve lived twenty-four years, and haven ' t given the world a thing in return ! The man I marry I shall love, honor, and respect. I can imagine doing the first two for you, but not the last. No, Dick, you ' re not a man yet. When you grow up, come back and ask me again. She had fled from the room, and Dick had swung out of the house and down the street, seeing nothing, and hearing but You ' re not a man yet. A blatant sign caught his eye. He went in, and in an hour Dick Harrison had been transformed from a wealthy young idler to Private Harrison of the U. S. A., whose clubroom happened to be anywhere certain men higher up decided to send him. At present it was Presidio, Texas. The twentieth of December! Dick gazed bitterly out into the glare. What right did it have to be blazingly hot, and dry, and dusty, when, as everyone knows, Christmas should be cold, and snowy and wreathy? And now, instead of cutting holly with Betty, here he was sitting sweltering in a little two-by-four village full of greasy Mexicans. Life was certainly damn funny! Wliat the dickens are you raving about? Bill Freeman jumped to his feet. Doth my twin orbs deceive me, or do I perceive a fleck of dust upon the horizon? Methinks — glory to Allah! It ' s the mail! Both men let out an ungodly yell, threw themselves out of the tent, and fled up the road, racing for dear life. One for you — from the Mater, I think. And I fear that I should tip the poor man! Look at this! He held out a handful of letters. This pink one ' s from Sis. She ' ll tell me about her new beau, and ask me to send her one of those darling Sam Brown belts, and inquire innocently if the natives sell silver bracelets. This ' ns from Aunt Sue. ' I am still surprised at your reckless action of joining the army. I hope you will not allow your morals to become contaminated by contact with uncouth and illiterate people. ' (That ' s you, Dick!) And this fat un ' s from Peggy, bless her heart! L ' n-m! And Bill proceeded to try to read them all at the same time. Dick, in the meanwhile, had been reading his. ... We ' ve just had a glorious snowstorm, and this morning there were a flock of cardinals under the big pine. Do you remember how you used to put out crumbs for them? All the bunch are out getting greens. We miss you and Betty. You 186 know, don ' t you, that she suddenly announced that she was fed up with everything, and got her father to pull a few strings? Consequently, she ' s off somewhere teach- ing school — imagine it! — in Mexico, or California, or some other equally as distant a place. Everyone is wondering if fiarold James had anything to do with it. He was very attentive just before she left. Everyone is well, but we miss you, and we wish you could be with us this Christmastide. We ' ll think of you What difference could it make to him if she were in Texas or Timbuctoo? He suddenlv saw her, as she had stood on the steps, the snowflakes powdering her hair. Say, listen to this! Isn ' t this rich? ' I feel it my ' What ' s the matter, old sport? You look as if you ' d seen a ghost. An overwhelming wave of nostalgia swept over Dick. He tried to laugh and change the subject. Look here. Bill. As I said before, has it dawned upon your unenlightened cranium that five days from today is Christmas? Holy smoke! How about going down to the village and smelling out something to send to the folks? Your Sis ' silver bracelet, and leather work, and pottery, etc. And let me tell you. son, it ' s up to us to do something to celebrate! I ' m about fed up on this monotony; for the Lord ' s sake, let ' s bust it. What say? That afternoon Bill and Dick sallied forth into the village. The inhabitants were lounging in the doors of their huts, and interrupted their rapid fire of con- versation to displav their white teeth at the two men. Dick stopped to inspect some pottery. Do not the senor lak deesa one? See! Eet iss rade! Angela smiled ingratiatingly, and held up a brilliant bowl. She ' s appealing to your barbaric taste, Dick. This one ' s not bad. Bill picked up a weirdly figured creation, and turned it around admiringly. Which is it — coffeepot, or washbowl? Now, I like this! Dick reached for a softly yellow, gracefully shaped bowl. Won ' t this be the crickets when it gets violets in it? Say! Hurry up and get you one, so we can move on. How are you going to spend Christmas, Angela? Going to celebrate? No, senor. The Chreesmas no is gay thees year. The mon ' he go ver ' fas ' , en we no have feas ' , en no can give the geef. I no care ver ' much, but Pedro, he wee! be ver ' sad, en mebbe cry. So Santy ' s not coming this year. Buddy? Pedro surveyed him with all the dignity of his three years, and sucked his thumb. Have you ever seen a big Christmas tree, all bright with lights and tinsel, and loaded with pretty things for everybody? Si, senor. 187 Pedro withdrew the thumb, his face angelic. And have you ever hung up a stocking, and gotten it full of sugarplums, and candy, and nuts? Si, senor. Pedro ' s eyes were mystified, but he stood his ground. Aren ' t you going to hang up your sock this Christmas? Si, senor. Pedro, who had never worn a sock in his life, spoke with assurance. Madre di Dios! The boy iss all the time say ' si, senor ' ! He no mean to lie, Senor. He no know what he spik about. Angela ' s eyes were sad. We ' ll take these bowls, Angela, and you keep the change. Angela thanked them volubly, and the men strolled on down the little road. I ' ve got an idea, Dick! You ' ll have to see the cap ' n, ' cause he thinks you ' re the berries. Look here! It ' s a dadblamed shame that these kids won ' t have any Christmas. And here ' s your chance to break the monotony you complain of. We ' ve got to bring Christmas to this Godforsaken place! Let ' s get the Cap to let us have the kids out to camp — the whole garrison do the honors, you know. All the men will be tickled pink. They ' ll be getting boxes, so we ' ll have a big spread, and stuff the kids within an inch of their young lives. And we ' ll get candy sti cks, and oranges, and things, and give them. It ' ll be gobs of fun! Bill ' s face beamed at the very idea. Of course, at the critical moment, after you ' ve filled the kids with chicken a la king, caviar, and Bergundy, you ' ll nonchalantly knock three times on the table, say ' Open Sesame! ' and Santy Claus in all his glory will appear, and distribute gifts from the enormous Christmas tree which will miraculously put in its appearance. You ' re the original little sunshine maker of the Western Hemisphere! All right, if you don ' t want to help Sure! If I didn ' t, I wouldn ' t be taking the trouble to listen to you rave. And there ought to be toys, and dolls, and things, too. Say, let ' s drop in and interview Miguel, and incidently get a drink. As they drank the gingerale, over a rough board that served for a counter, Dick called Miguel. He waddled over to them, his hands devoutly crossed over his big stomach. Miguel, comprenez-vous the English? Savvy? Understand? Si, Senor. I spiek de Americain. What we want to know, old gazo, is where is the nearest and cheapest place we can send for some candy, fruit and toys? Scads of them? Miguel expanded into a huge smile. 188 Eet iss not so far to Austin, en they would sheep things dam ' queek, you no theenk? Bill pulled out pencil and paper, and began to figure. We ' ll send for fifty dolls, assorted sizes, shapes and colors, and the same number of mixed drums, horns, pistols, etc. And ten dollars worth of candy — hard — and two crates of oranges. Say, Dick, let ' s get some bolts of calico, and give ' em all enough for a dress, or robe, or something. By the horned spoon, we ' re going to have a good time! Si, Senor. What about a Christmas tree? Savvy? A cedar, or a pine, or some sort of evergreen. Do they grow around here? I no see them. But I hear Juan, my sister ' s boy. tell bout a big green tree thev got in Altos. The titcher there, she want heem, so Juan he go out en find heem. They have beeg day tomorrow. They no wait for Chreestmas. The titcher. she got bright shiny stuff to treem heem weeth. Mebbe you borrow heem, no? The two men surveyed each other incredulously. By heck, we ' re just natural born lucky! Let ' s get her to come and do it up for us! Kidnap her, or something. Anyway, get her and her fixings. She ' s prob- ably cross-eyed, or bow-legged. Any woman who comes to this part of the U. S. A. to leach a launch of little naked Mexicans must have something wrong with her. Let ' s go back and break the news to the boys that they ' re to be hosts to the whole bunch of Mexican kids on Christmas day. Oh, boy! I bet they drop dead! The garrison rose gallantly to the occasion. For a year it had had nothing more exciting to look forward to than the mail. Now it prepared to enjoy itself, and threw itself into the task of bringing Christmas to Presidio. The countryside was scoured for anythina: areen. Since the idea of holly and mistletoe had to be relinquished, the mess hall was festooned with flowers of every color. As Bill expressed it. Looks more like May Day than Christmas to me. but the kids won ' t know the diff. Dick and Bill were in their glory. As 0. B. ' s — official bosses — they formed and directed committees of entertainment, decoration, food, etc. The mails were eagerly watched, and boxes were piled up in a corner, to provide an American feast for certain near-Mexican children. When the big box from Austin arrived, excite- ment rose to the nth degree. This yore ' s mo ' fun ' n a bag o ' monkeys, drawled one of the boys from Tennessee. I feel like I ' m Grandpa to the whole durn village. Bill, Dick said, the morning of the 24th, everything ' s here, and all we have to do is to fix it up. We can get that done in no time, but we haven ' t gotten that tree, or those trimmings, from Miguel ' s ' titcher. ' I suppose you ' ll have to ask her to come over, too. Lord knows I feel sorry for anybody spending Christmas down here unless they ' ve got something to do. You take the Cap ' s Ford, and bring ' em all back tonight. Cheer up, old scout! It might be worse! She ' s probably only knock-kneed. 189 I don ' t know about that. Say, Dick. You go. I ' m not any good at interview- ing strange females. Honest, I won ' t know what to say. The celebration was to be at eight o ' clock Christmas night, so at four. Bill drove off in Sappho, the Cap ' s Ford, to kidnap a titcher, a Christmas tree, and sundry trimmings. Sappho simmered along through the heat until Altos came in sight — two rows of adobe huts. Stopping at the first. Bill found that the titcher lived in the big house down half a mile. Bill drove on, uncomfortably, wondering what he should say. As he stopped in front of the house, he devoutly hoped he did not look as hot and embarrassed as he felt. With the air of a rnartyr, he rapped on the door. It opened suddenly, and he found himself facing a young girl, whose brown hair was the exact color of her eyes. Bill gasped. This was more than he had bargained for. I ' d like to speak to the teacher, please, he asked. I am she. Won ' t you come in? She looked at him serenely. No ' m. You see, I — it — well, it ' s like this. Over at Presidio, we ' re going to celebrate by giving all the kids a party, and a Tree, if you ' ll furnish the Tree. You see, he smiled at her, we ' ve got everything but a Tree, and trimmings, and we heard that you had them, so they sent me over to get them, and you. Won ' t yon come over and help us? The girl laughed. Are you asking me, the Tree, and the trimmings to come over to the garrison tonight, and help you decorate? Yes ' m, if you only will. I ' d love to. The Tree is back of the house. You get it, and I ' ll get the tinsel. As they got in the car. Bill chuckled. I forgot to tell you that I ' m Bill Freeman. The garrison was in a state of turmoil. Groups of men were hurriedly fixing the long table, arranging the food, or placing flowers around. Others were filling cornucopias with candy. Still others were sorting the toys. Down in a far corner, on the top of a stepladder, Dick was gloomily surveying the scene, waiting for the Tree. At his feet sat Pedro, already arrived, blissfully sucking an orange, in audible ecstacy. Pedro, do you think they ' ll ever come? Si, Senor. Pedro withdrew the orange, and inserted a brown thumb. In the door, blinded by the sudden darkness, stood the girl, like a beam of sunlight in her yellow linen. She came uncertainly toward him, while Dick gazed in speechless surprise. Behind trudged Bill, with the Tree. I got ' em, Dick! he yelled. Miss Crossland, this is Dick Winfield. You all fix the Tree. Sam ' s yelling for me. Dick and Betty stared at each other. 190 ' ' I would never have come — I think I ' d hetter go, and Betty turned towards the door. I don ' t expect you to stay on my account, but I wish you ' d be a sport, and help give the kids a treat. I promise you not to play the part of the heartbroken suitor. Dick ' s eyes were bitter. ' Then let ' s go to work. ou hand me the things, and 111 ]iul them on. They worked in silence for a long while, and the Tree grew brighter and lovelier. Then Dick spoke. You oughtn ' t to be teaching way down here. Neither should you be in the army, way down here. Well, you see, I ' m getting an awful kick out of it. So am I, grimly. Another pause. Then Dick plunged in again. You were right, Betty. I wasn ' t worth a damn. It hurt like the devil Init it was the truth, and I ' m glad you told me. Betty ' s face softened a little, but she said nothing. At last die Tree stood gleaming and bright, and the guests arrived. Arrayed in their best, they stared in uncomfortable amazement at the Tree. Luis proudly strutted around in a calico shirt, and one shoe. Celeste blissfully carried a hand- kerchief. Ramon wore a pair of khaki trousers three sizes too large for him, and a silver bracelet. Truly the lilies of the field could do no better. They ate until the delighted hosts could not, with a free conscience, give them any more. And then, as they lay back in stuffed content, out stepped a mysterious personaTC in red and white, whom Phillipe ecstatically recognized as Se or Santy Claus. Their eyes grew wide, for did not Santy and the yellow-dress ladv give each a cone of candy, an orange, and — crownina; bliss! — a wonderful doll, or a shining horn. Truly le Dios was good. Their faces beamed. Under the Tree sat Pedro, huffeinf to his stomach a doll, a horn and a drum, an orange at his feet, and his cheeks disteided with lemondrops. Betty, Dick whispered, feel my hands, dear. They ' re hard. See? Mv shirt is unfastened at the throat. I ' m brown and strons. I ' ve prown up. I ' m telling you that I ' d do anything to win you. Won ' t you marry me? Oh, Dick, I don ' t know what to say. Betty wavered. And then Dick had his inspiration. Ask Pedro, he said. Pedro surveyed them seriously. Then slowly moving the lemondrops to the other cheek, he displayed to them a set of small, white teeth. Si, Senor, he gurgled, and swallowed the lemondrops in his excitement.

In this very difference lay his whole life — he existed for nothing except to increase what he termed his individuality. In his absolute egotism he pursued his self- directed way untouched by those contacts which served to keep all but genius on the inconspicuous level of mediocrity. In consequence — he thought himself a genius. One interested in the various phases of adolescence might have considered him a rather interesting study. To the ordinary person he seemed ' queer. He read not wlip.t he liked, but what he thought he should like — and the result was a superficial smattering of Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and Tolstoi, and a simulated cynicism directed toward all persons, all things, all ideals. Quite naturally Mencken was his God — perfect, infallible, all-suffering. Such was Stanley when he went to College. The boys had rather looked askance at him. Despite all stories about one flaming youth — the average college boy is more conservative than his conservative professors — and a boy who walked aloof and seemed to prefer Freud to Conrad was eyed curiously if not suspiciously. The first few months of Stanley ' s College life, which he spent in the further development of the great personality he considered himself, served to decrease his popularity even more. The boys considered him morbid — he evinced not the slightest interest in any of the natural pleasures of youth: he drank to excess; it was even hinted that he smoked opium, although no substantial proof of this was ever found. Stanley seemed destined to go down in the annals of the College as eccentric when one day he met Vertean Hall and somehow to the amazement of the entire student body they struck up some sort of a friendship. Hall was universally con- sidered the most popular boy in school and to have him approve of one meant instant social approval. Stanley, who had never before known the meaning of friendship, put aside the fulfillment of his own whims and lived only for his friend. He blossomed forth into social life — stopped thinking of himself as different from all others — put away his philosophy and took up football instead. The boys at first liked him for Hall ' s sake — then they came to like him for himself. There was only one respect in which he now differed from other boys — where before he had been unable to see any fault in himself he now idealized Hall. He was having all the friendship he had missed at one time — and he was blinded to any defects in his idol. His desire to please was naive — he would do anything, suffer anything for Hall. The revolution of his entire life, thoughts, deeds, was based upon one thing — his absolute trust in Hall — around him his entire universe was centered. Hall took the admiration with a smile. To him Harper was a good kid and he liked him fine. But Harper was not his entire universe — he was one of a multi- tude of interests. In spite of the two attitudes, however, the combination seemed destined to be a happy one. And then, as they say in all stories, something happened. Stanley was trying to study but not succeeding any too well when Hall came in, followed by three other boys. Stanley smiled a welcome and then looked annoyed when he realized that one of the three was Larry Scott. Scott enjoyed a vile reputation at school. He was domineering, loud and vulgar. Stanley could not understand how Hall hap- pened to be with him. He was still pondering on this when he realized that Scott was leaving. No, no, I can ' t stay, he was saying, I can ' t stay — we ' re going off on a little party tonight — Come on, boys. Stanley looked relieved at first and then apprehensive as Hall turned to follow Scott. Youre not going in the party, are you, Bert? he asked. Hall hesitated. No-o-, he answered slowly. I ' ll be back in a few minutes. Stanley watched them go out and then picked up his book again, but he couldn ' t study. Larry Scott ' s face seemed to blot out the print. But of course Bert would be back. He had said so. He waited and waited and waited and at last there was a step on the stairs to reward his attentive ears. Bert had come — but no — when the door opened it was not Bert but his roommate who appeared. Hi, Harper — let ' s go down and see a movie, he said. Sit down and get your breath, John, Stanley advised, I ' m sorry I can ' t go but I ' m waiting for Bert. John stared at him in amazement. Hasn ' t he been down here tonight? Oh yes, he was down about 8:00, but he went somewhere widi Larry Scott and said he ' d be back in a few minutes. John jumped up from the chair decisively. Well, come on then, son, you ' ve got plenty of time to see a movie before he comes back — he ' s gone out on one of Scott ' s wild parties and he won ' t be fully recovered until this time tomorrow night, child. Stanley looked up uncertainly. You mustn ' t say things like that, John, he begged. John pulled the door open impatiently. There was no mistaking the sincerity of the statement. Stanley felt weak at the knees — grew white about the lips — How could Bert have done it? He could not even think, but felt the sensations of all those who have lost iheir all at a moment ' s notice. He was inarticulate. John waited — then evidently giving up, he left — slammed the door after him. Stanley stood in the middle of the floor. Five minutes, ten minutes, perhaps an hour and then he grabbed up his hat and went out, too. He walked and walked — out into the nearby soil of the surrounding country and there he faced the biggest crisis of his life. There he found at last the cynicism he had been pretending for years, but along with it real depth of character. He would be a personality but lie left all his new-found illusions behind him as he strode back to town through a sea of fudge-colored mud. DURKIN. .ecomme]o.d.e(a. itoF v, m.

Long — slim — square — rectangular — ! The round writing of chums — the irregular scrawl and erratic perpendicular scribbling of numerous adoring males — the delicate Spencerian script of Mrs. Graves. Letters — letters — letters! Oh! heck — ! I ' ll never answer all of these — just won ' t have time. A petulant scowl drew die delicately arched black brows together — and Carlin ' s mouth dropped disconsolately. Across the book-laden table, the heart-shaped face of Betty Reese offered an extraordinary contrast. Eyes as gray as April rain and as wistful as youth ' s own dreams — dusky black hair — and a voice like the echo of Spanish love songs, so Bill had said — but now, in that slow honeyed accent of all Georgians, she remarked, You know, Lyn, I can ' t believe you give a darn about anyone — even Bob. Despite the drawl and the slow smile, Betty seemed quite serious. Furthermore, Lyn, if I hadn ' t roomed with you for three years and learned to know and love the real you — die you underneath that sophisticated mask — I ' d hate you for stringing all these men. A vague gesture emphasized the lost words. A gesture including the entire pennant-bedecked room and the extensive array of photographs ornamenting dressers, tables, and walls — masculine countenances, varying in age from the aristocratic, middle-aged Mr. R. David Reese III to the infantile brother of Garlin — faces, repre- senting every college and L ' from coast to coast, pictures at every angle — full face, three-quarter, profile. Garlin whistled in derision — dien exclaimed. Half this art gallery is yours, remember, and — as she picked up the bulkiest of all the voluminous epistles — I do love Bob — He ' s so darned sweet. Memories shadowed the dark-fringed eyes. The sea-green deepened into the shade seen in the forests — Memories! — Finals — a star-studded sky — the orchestra ' s minor strings in harmony with the night — her mood — Bob — his brown head bent toward her auburn-hued one — murmured words — his lips on hers — . As though in a dream she heard her chum ' s voice say — Remember the final ball? Until then he hadn ' t paid me any mind. Why — it seems to me he even rushed you. Slowdy, thoughtfully, You know, he says that you ' ve the cleverest line he ' s ever heard — he actually believed ' things ' until I told him that night you were crazy about Bill Norton. Betty ' s time to remember now. Bitter-sweet memories of Bob. Bob on the field calling signals the day of the big game. Bob talking earnestly, seriously of life and his ideals. Bob in a canoe one night — his lean-cheeked, sun-bronzed face, sprinkled bv moonlight — the night preceding the one Lyn had informed her casually, Met Bob Willis tonight. You like him — Well I love him, so I ' m going to make ' time, ' large amomits of time with him. Being Garlin, the glorious Garlin — the inevitable had happened. Her line had been subtle, oh yes! — if subtilty implied meaning every word she had uttered. The scratching of pens, then Betty ' s silver voice, Listen, Lyn, you ought to tell Don Lee you ' re engaged to Bob. He ' s as wild as the devil but he worships you — It ' s a shame to let him still think there ' s a chance for him to win. Perhaps there is. And with a defiant toss of her shingled locks — Garlin started to dress. Dainty lingerie, sheer hose, black suede shoes — and as a climax, the new jade dress. No longer able to retain her curiosity, her interested roommate inquired as to the cause of all the unusual preparation. Busily engaged in applying Maybelline to her already jet-black lashes — the rather non-committal answer was a date and then as though ashamed of her reticence, Don is here. To ears more attentive than Betty ' s, that one word would have conveyed volumes. She only remonstrated, however, because of the neglect of Bob, insensible to the apparent excitement of the other girl. Lyn, in exasperation, Well — then you write to him for me and tell him anything. Our writing is just alike and he ' ll never know. Thus it was that on a certain night in October, despite the dreary weather and the interminable senior classes-in-law, one Robert H. Willis exclaimed jubilantly to his roommate, Jack, I love her more each day. After this letter, I — I — well! Not until now did I dare dream her soul could possibly equal her beauty. The joy of living — of loving — was his. The day before Thanksgiving! Girls prattling incoherently of Lend me this, may I borrow that? — girls studying time tables. Girls dressing, girls semi-clothed — girls ready to leave for Charlottesville! Among the last group were Bet and Lyn — bundled in furs, smart traveling bags in their gloved hands. Voices screaming shrilly, See you at the game. Give Jack my love. You forgot your rouge — I ' ll bring it. Help me with this young trunk. The train roared into the station — a push, a scramble, a rush for seats. School and its worries likewise, receded into the distance. Eyes pleading, lips pleading, hearts pleading, as Betty whispered to Garlin, You must be mad! What about Bob, your Dad, school! Oh, darling, please be rational Sorry, love, but it ' s the only thing to do. I love Don — always have, deep down in my heart. He loves me. Our tastes are similar, same erratic dispositions. We could never be happy — either of us — with anyone else. With a wry smile, Perhaps not together either — but it ' s my one chance for happiness The chatter of the other girls drifted to them above the rumble of the wheels The voices, gay, blithe. As for Bob — I never have loved him except as a brother. When you see him tonight tell him I ' m sorry — but ' twas a mistake — our love — always. The grinding of brakes and the train stopped. A hasty kiss, a radiant smile — Good-bye and I ' ll wire you from Miami — and Garlin was gone. Only the faint odor of Black Narcissus lingered. Through the rain-spotted window pane Betty watched her disappear with Don into the brightly lighted station. Garlin, the cynic, the scoffer — loving one mere man, one mere man with just a fascinating manner and adoration in his eyes for her. Loving him whole-heartedly and — who knows? — loving him eternally. 202 Endless hours of torture — of incoherent thoughts — of dread at the thought of seeing Bob. Again the train stopped. She descended the steps. Faithful old Bill there to pilot her to the car. A set smile, mechanical phrases. Where i he? Finally his voice, as though from a great distance, Hello! Bets, glad to see you. Where ' s that roommate of yours? Don ' t say she ' s missed the train. I couldn ' t stand that. Brown eyes searching hers. A pause — tense, brittle silence. After centuries in which she vaguely wondered why Bill insisted on humming Moonlight on the Ganges, Lyn ' s favorite song, the pause was broken. No, Bob, she didn ' t miss the train, but Oh, Lord! . . . How to escape that hurt look in his eyes. How not to wound him fatally — anything to cure his illusions. She just isn ' t coming. Come and drive over to the house with us, and I ' ll explain. Bill won ' t mind if we ride in the rumble seat, will you honey? Dreams — fitful restless dreams. Re-living that drive through the dusk — her tears — his stifled cry, God! — how could she? Re-living the dance. Music and men. Men — men — men. But always the eyes of one man — dim with unshed tears, hurt, like the little boy that every man is inside — always. Dull, monotonous months at school. Christmas — dances, dates, parties. School again. Ever that dull ache of longing for Lyn — for Lyn and Bob. Wanting him. Needing him — living him. The Easter hops. Girls, in pastel shades, like spring flowers. Men, immaculately groomed, in tuxedos. Dim lights. A waltz — May I break? — Just another stag, probably tight, same old line, must register enthusiasm — now I must look up at him as though ' — but then Betty was too stunned for further thought. For the eves that gazed down at her — tenderly, lovingly, were brown eyes, the brown eyes that had haunted her every waking and sleeping hour for almost a year. The eyes of Bob! Where did you come from — Bobbie dear? What had she said? She didn ' t know. She was only conscious that he was there — that she was in his arms — that she still loved him — always would — always — dear Bob. Softly, in time to the music, he was saying, Not out of die everywhere. Little Love, but out of the nowhere — because you were not with me. Someone breaks! She said something — anything. Someone else cut in — then Bob again. But this time he led her through the maze of dancers, through the door, out on the balcony! A crescent moon, and one wee star! They sat behind a sheltering palm and they — or rather — Bob talked. He had just seen Don and Garlin in Richmond and Lyn t old him all about Betty having written the letters — the letters to which his heart and dreams had become inseparably linked — the letters expressing the personality he loved. And so, dear heart, I ' ve loved you always. It was the ' you-ness ' in those pages that I cherished. Fool that I was — I persuaded myself that Lyn could and did think those thoughts. That poignant tone in some of them, that atmosphere of youth on tip-toe in others — it was all you. ' ' Do you think you can ever understand, ever forgive — ever love such a blind idiot as Bob? A blissful, fervant Yes from Betty. And then — well since they realized the inaneness of mere words at a moment like that — they, they — ceased to talk! — Porter. 203 . itile Loys sm Nij impression olt a Fire JOriii Clang! Clang! Clang! went the firebell, pealing forth its warning sound in the stillness of the night. In a second the whole universe seemed to be a mixture of noise and light. Down the halls doors were flung wide. Windows were seen coming down with a bang. The towel rack was relieved of its contents and sleepy- eyed girls clad in coats, bathrobes of all colors, and raiment of all descriptions poured out into the large corridor. Front hall down first! Keep to the right! No talking! Count off! 1, 2, 3, etc., some voicss loud and some weak. Many colds seemed to develop quickly as the lines filed back to their respective places. The bang of windows going up and the click of the electric lights being cut off ' were heard and then stillness — anoiher fire drill was over!!! ' Now for Betty Lewis, said the fire commander to her assistant. It was a beautiful night; the stars were out and the moon made a halo over the earth. Walk- ing through the grove little shadows played at hide-and-seek, and all of a sudden a rustling of leaves was heard. The fire commander and her assistant were quickly changed to marathon runners. Lo! Betty Lewis ' door was locked! Looking across the road there stood two men. Annie Lee! Annie Lee! Come to the door!!! The men went on and the night watchman came down the hill. The drill was given and the commander and her assistant went to bed. The next morning the night watchman informed the girls that the highwaymen were two firemen and merely wanted to see if the girls who they supposed had been niaht riding could get in! 205 1 Jke o wimmmg JPooi It was a moonlight night — the night before I left the Old Home Town — and Jimmy and I sat on the front steps and wondered — wondered what the morrow would bring forth. His thoughts were of V. P. I. and mine were of Fredericksburg. Lost in silent meditation, Jimmy said, I say. Dot, what do you know about Fredericksburg — is it a spiffy school? I was bubbling over with the wonders of Fredericksburg for I had read the catalogue. Grabbing Jimmy by the hand, I rushed him into the library where I dug out from among the magazines the Fredericksburg College Catalogue. Together we perused its flowery pages. Suddenly, Jimmy gave three rousing Rahs and pointing to page 55 cried, Read ' em yourself. There it was — just what I was most interested in — a full description of the Commodious Out-door Year-round Swimming Pool. Jimmy said, Oh Boy, I see where you shine. Visions of my trim figure clad in that new Janlzen, making a swan dive into the shiny, white tile swimming-pool, floated through my whirling brain. The next day came, as next days have a way of doing, and I found myself being properly Registered at Fredericksburg. After a few miserable days of end- less rushing, my roomie suggested that we try a plunge into the new swimming-pool. Delighted, I donned The last breath in Swimming Togs and we raced to Monroe Hall for directions to the most interesting spot on the campus. We were directed to the basement for some unexplained reason. Searching from room to room, we came upon a tiny room, within the center of which was a visible excavation con- taining a small puddle of clear water. Our eyes grew lateral as our faces assumed the appearance of an eloneated tad-pole. Leaning against the door for support, I gasped, Oh, this can ' t be. Regaining my senses, my poor brain whirled again, laboring under the weiehl of a thought — a memory — of something I had read — Ah, I have it, I cried, 1 know what it is. Another whirl, Yes. I know it! — Ah, you know, you ' ve read about walled-in springs — those tricks of nature — that run underground and are brought to the surface by man — that ' s one. I know. Ah, how adorable, get a cup and let ' s get a drink from the tiny spring. The water was cold as Nature ' s Own. and much refreshed, we resumed our search for the Commodious Year-Round Swimming Pool.

We tuned in to hear it more. Fast complexing phrases from BushnelTs door; Missed your class? I heard her say. The College will take this over today. She turned on her heel, and with a quick tread, She seated herself at the desk in sisht. Took red card-board and hastened to write. If you ' ve been in this office you ' ll know in a glance. There ' s an individual touch to even the plants. Our flag so stately hangs from the wall: A phone nearby where the One never calls. A desk in the center of the spacious floor In full view from the open door; A table in the corner at which you ' d stare. It holds a few books and an egg-basket there. A plain bookcase stands by the wall. Holding many books, I just can ' t recall. A safe holds a portion of this rare old place. Where we get checks cashed to go off some place. Ring! ring! went a bell and I hastened to class. Leaving the office with its mystery cast. But pass the office whenever you will. You ' ll hear her repeat — Keep the tone of the Hill. — Lucy Hobson.
