EX LIBRIS PRELUDE •wrsp- ■ ' Like unto ships far off at sea Outward and homeward bound are we. Before, behind, and all around Floats and swings the horizon ' s bound. Seems at its distant rim to rise And climb the crystal wall of the skies. And then again to turn and sink. As if we could slide from its outer brink. Ah! it is not the sea, It is not the sea that sinks and swells, But ourselves that rock and rise. With endless and uneasy motion. Now touching the very skies. Now sinking into depths of ocean. ■ ' Ah! if our souls but poise and swing Like the compass in its brazen ring. Ever level and ever true To the toil and the task we have to do. We shall sail securely and safely reach The Fortunate Isles on whose shining beach The sights we see and the sounds we hear, Will be those of joy and not of fear. h(L- ' doorstep to the temple - of wisdom ' Js a }(nou ledge of our oun ignorance. — Spurgeon he BATTLEFIELD ! 1928 College FREDERICKSBURG VIRGINIA FOREWORD oA 1 yoiiir memories or tJlie years on iJae Jkilifop -years glaiiclen.e(cl ey iiie dreams ano. visioms of yoTuitli ' = ' =may eYer re- maim imclimmetl by flke sliafllows of time, we, flie Sfaff of 1928, present to youi ilais voiuame oit THE BATTLEFIELD V lews o o o o o jU ' OoiK 11 ADMINISTRATION AND FACULTY llasses =0000 JoooK ji SENIOR JUNIOR SOPHOMORE FRESH31AN FEATURES Orgamzaitioiis Afliletics o I onseiuse JOOJl jool 00I 5ool DEDICATION ■©o one il|o is a brilliattt scl|nlitr, a sym- patl|ettc t£acl|er, a true mib an imherstaubtng frtntb lo 1928 i attleftdb 10 W ' yp ijite iAa ' mlnlAl[ ai.mm ana tlu€ Jaciilt A.

A 1927-28 m THE DATTLLriELD P Senior Sidelines Do we want that cup lliis year? You l)el we do! Are we f oin ' to jrel that iu|) again this year? We are going to try mighty iiard! What does the (:u[) mean? It means that the class who wins it or merits it has excelled not oidy in the games and sports, but in the spirit of fair play, honesty and good sportsmanship. We know that the year is not over until it is finisli ' d. Iiut we aI o know that some dies have already been cast. The Seniors finally emerged as undisputed champions in Hockey after a long Round Robin series of games. Baseball came along and though the Class of ' 28 held on tenaciously, they finally had to submit the title of Baseball Champions to the Freshman Class — . But the season isn ' t over yet — basketball, tennis and track will be among the deciding factors! Come on Seniors — we ' re betting on you. Remember Thanksgiving Day? You don ' t? Well, the Evens just had a most teasing kind of a Hockey Game for Even and Odd Championship. Billy-Goats and Devils chased each other all around and the queer part about it was that the Devils gave out first — the Evens won that game which threatens to rival the Army and Navy game of New York! The versatility of these Seniors can no longer be questioned, for there before your very eyes they became dolls and remained that way for almost three hours, content and happy at Midnight in a Toy Shop. Imagine dignified Seniors doing a thing like that! Seriously though, the Seniors approach June with mingled feelings of joy and regret. For four years they have worked togetlii. .o make the Class of ' 28 the best ever — they have labored together over books and papers, they have fought together over sports and Goats, they have stuck together through thick and tliin. and they have sung together in praise and tribute to their Soph. Sisters who will carry on and better the traditions and customs of the Class of ' 28. Class of ' 30, we salute you! Make our Alma Mater proud of you — take the places we leave vacant and carry on! 55 m THE. BATTLE.riF.LD l - te4 Indian Summer October floats about us once again And I am drowned in beauty. I am overcome With color. The air trembles with the ecstacy Of crimson leaves Of gold leaves drifting to shield Late violets From the impending frosts The sky — All the merged colors of the earth So blue — I cannot look — Ah— God- Take back one color from this world Else I am lost. Or— Let me softly fold this day On rose petals To put away and keep. — H.

But someone has asked for an article on how to wear a billy-goat correctly. Upon repetition of this request the following deduction has been made from personal interviews and observation. It is herein printed for the benefit of the ignorantia: To wear a billy-goat is something that not everyone can do and do gracefully, so the wearing of these animals is confined to two very select groups. One of the groups wears a goat of emerald hue, while the other group adorns itself with a tanferine beastie. The only difference between these groups is the color of the goats, but this article to be more democratic will deal with the larger group, the one wearing the orange goat. These people call themselves Sophomores, and call their goats anything. A name for the animal should always be decided upon before donning him. Suggested names may be found in Durant ' s Story of Philosophy or any book on Greek mythology. Then the costume. The goat is always worn upon a fleece-lined white sweat- shirt, which in polite society is never worn wrong side outward. The goat in all his radiant glory is firmly sewed upon the front of the shirt, horns pointing upward and feet firmly planted so that the animal has the appearance of defiance. The sweat-shirt with the goat attached is worn on Tuesday of every week, to all games and other formal aff ' airs. The honored wearer of the goat assumes a different air to be au fait when she confronts the campus, attired in the distinctive garb a-la-Sophomore. For with the wearing of the orange goat goes all the individu- ality, class spirit, friendship and lovableness which has made the Evens, the Sopho- mores and the Billy-Goat such an important feature of the campus. Here ' s to the Sophs, and may the lowly William Goat continue to baa . FMJ ' l THE DATTLLFILLD P Life I come to you with outstretched hands, bringing you all good gifts that your heart may desire. It is yours to take from me what you will. I offer you health, happiness, peace, success, freedom. I dwell forever in your heart and in the hearts of others, for I belong to everyone. If you search, you may also find me in the trees, with the flowers, beneath the stars or the blue skies, in the winds and storms, and among the great eternal hills. I am all that is fine within you. I am that which makes comradeship, friendship, love, possible. I am that part of you which shall know no death. I am that which holds your visions, your ideals, alwavs just above your reach, until you have climbed upward, bevond the stars, to GOD.

She is now making things go as principal of a small school in one of the most beautiful spots in Southwest Virginia — the Cove, near Tazewell. Here ' s to the best of us all.

That they are invaluable to the child, the youth, the adult, is acknowledged today. In a surprisingly short time, namely, during the past fifteen or twenty years, owing to an innate love for sport and the growing tendency of rivalry and to the conservatism and shortsightedness of educators, we find strong student athletic associations flourishing — associations invested with full control of the athletic program of their college. But these athletics are for a chosen few — men who star in some one branch of sport. Is that fair? What of the all- round man — interested in all phases of school activities — literary, social, aca- demic? What of his natural love for games, for sport? Shall he not be given any consideration? Is he to have no outlet on the athletic field for his surplus energies? Also we might add that statistics have proven the disadvantages from moral, mental, and physical standpoints of a too constant drilling in one sport. Athletics develop traits for leadership, citizenship and co-operation. A good sport must be unselfish as well as just. Hence the moral benefits of Athletics For All. As for the mental side — they stimulate the brain to constant, quick and intense thinking. Brains are equally as important as brawn in this age of scientific play- Therefore, a desire for sports must be enkindled in the mind and heart of our nation. A desire for all sports — not one sport — not for one hero, but for all. Leave an old house unoccupied for a few years — what happens? It soon crumbles away and decays. Just so with our bodies. We must constantly use them — keep them in repair. There is no better preservative than — athletics! Athletics for all!

The role of forming part of a setting of gaiety, sociality and joyful freedom for a few more popular, more attractive and more magnetic personalities was a new one for me, but I had known before I accepted the invitation that Helena was going to be there. Helene — her name bespeaks sparkling personality, youth and beauty, and wherever she went she drew the eyes and attention of all with whom she came in contact. She shone in the spotlight of public approval, and I as one of her best friends felt myself a favored individual. All of our crowd were interested in her rumored engagement to a certain young lawyer, Larrimore Colby, of which we knew nothing. I half suspect that the desire to see what Helene was intending to marry had caused more invitations to be demanded than was usually registered for house-parties; but then I may be too harsh in my judgment of mankind. Helene had written, I know, Janie, that you will like him because you and I have always been, as we say, kindred spirits. We are not going to be married for a while yet, as Larry is hoping to get the Smith-Roberts strike case. If he does, it will mean so much to him and to us, because even though I love him with all my heart I don ' t want my friends to think — well, you know what they would think. Of course I knew what her friends would think. The usual thing that society thinks when a person like Helene marries a man unknown financially or socially in the world. Again, I say I may be too harsh. Having arrived late, I did not see them until three o ' clock in the afternoon, when I came upon them down at the tennis courts. They were sitting together, seem- ingly waiting for a court, and intent upon a game being played. I did not join them, but seated myself on another bench and from the side enjoyed watching them as they talked about the game in progress. In those few moments I learned more about the intended groom than Helene had told me in all her rambling letters, for I consider myself quite a delineator of character. He seemed to me the type of what I have always supposed resembled a knight devoid of coat of mail. Tall, dark- haired, blue-eyed, with a face that revealed high ideals, courage, liberal mindedness, glowing with pride and love for the woman beside him. I began picturing him as a great historical character, but I could not decide which heroic figure he most resembled. H THE DATTLLFILLD P As I started to let my iiiitid revel in roiiiaiilie laneies, I wa.s allraeled In their conversation about the game, whieh was plainly being given away. The man was letting Betty Grinells, a weak player, win in a manner censorerl by most of us. Helene was saying, I don ' t like that at all. Why, he deliberately weakened his flefense and let her win. Yes, said Larrie, hantling her the raeket, but he was playi-ig a gentleman ' s game, letting the lady win. Well, said Helene, as they started for the court, don ' t dare try a gentle- man ' s game with me. I looked at Larry as she spoke and so I noticed something that Helene did not. Larry was biting his lip. I watched them play only a few minutes before I knew that all was not as it should be. Helene was a good player, but I had seen amateur men beat her graci- ously in a well-fought game by endurance only. Men usually set a hard running pace. This time, though, Helene was plainly winning and with ease, Larry returning only a few serves swinging awkwardly at those he missed. He appeared to be con- cealing his playing powers by feigning to be a poor player and letting Helene win. Why, I could not understand. It was a repetition of the gentleman ' s game. The set continued as it had begun and ended 6-1, Larry having won the last game. The players left the court in silence, anger and embarrassment poorly concealed on Helene ' s flushed face. I knew that her pride had been crushed by the knowledge that she had been allowed to win as had Betty Grinells, a notoriously weak player. That evening an informal dance was given on the verandah, but I did not go down because my terpsichorean arts are somewhat limited, and, too, I wanted to finish Beau Geste , which I had begun on the train coming down. Helene and I were in the same room and although she seemed much out of sorts I helped her dress hoping that she would confide in me. She seemed to be weighing somediini in her mind, however, and said nothing until she was entirely dressed. Pausing in the door, she expressed her regrets at me missing the fun, and left me to my book and my thoughts. I settled down to my book and read for perhaps two hours before I finished it. It was quite warm in the room for there was not much breeze blowing; so I stepped out on the balcony adjoining our bedroom to enjoy the coolness and beauty of the midsummer night. There was a garden bench below the balcony, and two figures seated were engaged in conversation, which was growing louder and more intelligible. I laughed to myself in my cynical way as I pictured some girl listening to an ardent revealment of love, which would be discussed sacrilesiouslv tomorrow mornins. NMJ ' 1 THE DATTLLriELD P Listening more intently I recognized the voice as Larry ' s, but with a pleading note in it. Please, Helene, believe me? Really, I wasn ' t playing a gentleman ' s game. Take back the ring and let us not be so foolish as to ruin our lives over a 6-1 tennis set. An icy voice which sounded like a twig encased in ice blowing in a March wind said, Only a cad would do something so small as to publicly embarrass a woman and then deny it. I can ' t take back the ring I tell you because I cannot marry a cheat. You cheated me of a fair victory in that set by cheating yourself. Why did you do it? But I tell you again and again, I played the best that I could. Why won ' t you believe me? Your best is someone else ' s worst, said Helene, as she turned and walked rapidly up the verandah steps, but Larry remained. He remained in the moonlight, motionless, staring at the heavens. Somehow, I felt that Justice portrayed as the blind goddess was truly blind. Helene said nothing to me when she came in. I would not mention the subject because I feared the descent of her wrath upon my head, and then too I was no little ashamed at my lack of will power as to willingly overhear such a private conversation. I never saw Larry again, because I understood the next morning that he had caught the six o ' clock train back to the city on urgent business. It sounded plausible to everyone but two, Helene and me, and the day went on as days do, but something was lacking. The next morning we all went back to the city and back to the monotony of doing something with ourselves. Helene I knew would go back to teas, receptions, operas and gay society, but I prided myself on being a professional woman, for I write the book reviews in The Globe. I knew that it would be some time before we would see each other again. To be exact, it was nearly a month later that I saw her as I boarded a train to Philadelphia with Russell Hunter, dean of a Poughkeepsie prep school. Helene was in the same coach with us and welcomed us with her old merry smile, since we all three knew each other quite well. By turning one of the seats around we managed to sit together and indulge in shop talk. Realizing that Helene wasn ' t so interested in our professional scopes Russell witlessly began talking about the social activities of the summer. Witlessly, I say, for within two minutes of the time he ventured on the subject he came out with. Say, Helene, how is your engagement with Larrimore coming along? I haven ' t seen much of him lately, but they say he is working like mad on that strike case. 192 :gg THE DATTLLriLLD p-m r So he had got llic ilrikc case. Ilclcnc ignored the fii t jjart of the question and answered a polite Yes. Not in the least daunted, and innocent of the dangerous subject upon which he was volunteering information, Russell continued. He used to come down to my place a lot during the early part of the summer. He nearly bothered me to death raving about you and trying to get me to teach him how to play tennis. I only had time to give him two lessons, but he ought to make a good player, he was so crazy to learn how. I looked at Helene, who had gone a queer white during this speech and gripping the edge of the seat, she said in short, jumpy words, Learn how to play! Why I understood that he was an athlete in college. Artlessly Russell said, Yes, in football, but there is a lot of difference in that and tennis. I changed the subject and chattered away like the fabled magpie to cover up Helene ' s discomfiture and to help her regain her poise. I knew that Russell and I might have as well been by ourselves for Helene was shut off by a wall of her thoughts. As I listened to Russell ' s idea of the cause of an uprising in China, I caught myself wondering what Helene thought of the gentleman ' s game and her selfish pride. Had the lady really won? Somehow I knew that the lady would win by conquering her fight with pride and — I was right. 193 W THE DATTLLriELD F ? ? ? Wlml caus ed ihe Juniors ' ire.

A rolling stone gathers no moss — overweight class. Wliat is yours is mine and all mine is yours — roomies. There ' s a time for all things — the bells say. Some people are more nice than wise — our consolation. Never say ' Fail ' again. (Teachers please note.) A delusion, a mockery — and a snare — Education.

No, there was nobody who answered his description. True, there was a man in a dark gray suit and a striped blue tie, but that was merely a coincidence. Why, that man was positively hopeless looking; he even had red hair! She rose impatiently from her chair and walked toward the other entrance to see if by any chance he had come in that way. But her search was unrewarded and she returned wearily to her chair. It was awfully impolite of him to keep her waiting, and besides she was terribly excited about seeing him; he ought to know better than keep her in suspense. Bits of his letters came to her mind as she sat there waiting. She remembered the first one when he had said, among other things, Ever since Johnny started talking about you I have wanted to know you, and at last I have found courage to write. Seriously, it ' s no easy thing to write even the friendliest and most inoffensive letter to one ' s roommate ' s girl and get away with it — and later — When I first heard about you I was interested, but when I heard Johnny read your letters I knew that you were my girl, not Johnny ' s. And after the correspondence had progressed quite far there had been the time he had said: Isn ' t it wonderful the way our thoughts are always the same. For instance, take the matter of Scott Fitzgerald. I am delighted that you are so ent husiastic about him, for I have come to think — waving aside implied vanity — that it takes a remarkably poised person to fully appreciate him. and that his books will not live, because there are so few personalities really big enough to accept his somewhat radical but delightful theories. My entire social career has been divided between moments of intense comformity to the orthodox coolness of the Fitzgeraldian doctorings and wild pagan departures from the same, .... I might add that I have derived great pleasure, from both moods, and that many an emotional crisis has resulted in sundry conservatories, music rooms, upstairs club lounges, steps, kitchens, the back seats of parked limousines at country clubs ( for of course these are the only proper settings for emotional crises! when straying from the tenets of that estimable author. It may be significant that the most gorgeous and spectacular of the many parties who were the complimentary personalities to these crises, inevitably responded with die most enthusiasm to a strictly Fitzgeraldian conduct and ' line . 197 THE DATTLLriLLD iF g Barbara had sighed when she received that letter. To think that anyone who agreed so thoroughly and understandingly with her own thoughts should be so far away. And then had come that most marvelous letter of all — he was coming to New York and wanted to see her — would she meet him in the lobby of the Biltmore at one o ' clock on December 13th? It was now one-thirty on December 13th. Barbara gazed around inquiringly again. Nowhere could she see the tall, dark man of her dreams and of her letters. Well, he might have been detained; she would give him another fifteen minutes. In the chair directly opposite hers a man in a dark gray suit and striped blue necktie squirmed uneasily and craned his neck jerkily now and then as though in search of someone. She was not there and his frown deepened. No, there was no one there who answered her description. The fact that the girl across the aisle wore a dark green coat with gray fur as she had promised merely increased his irritation. Why must that little washed-out blonde wear something he associated with the stately brunette of his dreams? He wished she would hurry. Of course, girls were always late, but this was really an extra-special occasion and thirty minutes was stretching things. But it would be worth waiting to meet Her; anyone who could write letters like hers — whoo! He wondered what sort of a light would come into her eyes when she saw him, and would she know him right away? Of course, he would recognize her as soon as she entered; the very atmosphere was bound to vibrate to such an intense personality as hers. He would give her another fifteen minutes. Well — she didn ' t seem to be coming. Something must have happened to keep her away; he might as well run on to that party Betty Squire was having. He strolled over to the telephones to call Betty. The girl in the booth looked familiar. Oh, yes, he recognized Her with a start of annoyance; it was the little blonde who had dared to wear her green and gray. Hello, she was saying, yes, we might as well go on down to that stupid house-party, George, I ' ve decided that I don ' t want to keep my other date. Yes, well I ' ll meet you around at the Biltmore in about an hour. No, I couldn ' t possibly get way down there before three o ' clock. All right — I ' ll be seeing you then. Good-bye. 1 THE DATTLLFILLD P Re Oh dusty rose, Alone in the glimmering moonlight. Your heart is a deep red glow Buried in the sheen of a starlit night. Even your soul is buried in tears. Tears of the sparkling dew. Dear lovely rose that grows. Has love come to you? -Frances Cline. H THE BATTLEFIELD P Detachment Crisp dry leaves beneath my body Prone on the drowsy earth. Pools of sunlight, making patterns. Dreamy quiet prevails. A leaf flutters gently down. Earth is like a quaint old lady Dreaming of girlhood days, Living over her youth and springtime.

It must be a happy one. As they trudged wearily up the hill toward Washington Avenue, a car whizzed by — S. T. C. Bound. What a dear car — his car — the pre-war Ford of Aloysius, and for each separate rattle, numerous tho ' they were, Roxanna registered a separate and distinct thrill. Had she not worshipped him from afar, dreamed of him, sung of him ever since she had first seen him? Only two weeks had passed since she had first glimpsed his shiny black hair shimmering in the sunlight. It had been at the very moment when she had alighted from the train, for he had been at the station to meet some fair damsel. He was so-o cute; so utterly adorable, slightly smaller in stature than Roxanna, but what are a few inches between friends — or between lovers, for that matter? Who cares? And now at last she would hear his voice (someone had informed her that he lisped, but then hadn ' t she always loved baby-talk? I for surely he would ride them to town ; Roxanna and her devoted friend and loyal room-mate, Glorianna Louisa. Who could resist these two appealing little (if one may employ this adjective in reference to three hundred and fifty pounds of girlness — divide by two if you are in- terested in individual weights) freshmen — S. S. and G.ness radiating from every fluffy ruffle of their white organdy dresses — graduation dresses — saved especially for this first trip to town. Nevertheless, despite their appealing appearance, plus Roxanna ' s most radiant smile, the car, now on its return from school, passed them by only to stop a block further on for two old girls — clad in white sweat-shirts. Strange — the tastes of men. Imagine preferring those roughly attired girls to them. Why! Roxanna almost lost faith in Aloysius. Glorianna Louisa, what is the matter with us? It couldn ' t be our clothes, not with this ravishing costume of my ' as-good-as-new ' organdy and this brand new red tam o ' shanter — and yet — Roxanna ' s voice trailed off into silence — tears dimmed her china blue eyes — her rosebud lips quivered, her Coty-covered chin trembled. Glorianna had not been a cinema addict for nothing — so she recognized the symptoms — Roxanna was on the verge of tears. Observant girl — Glorianna Louisa. That ' s why she ' s an A teacher today !

Tired of waiting, Roxanna stealthily picked up a Good Housekeeping — began reading the ads. — Ah! a smile of infinite peace, of joy, swept over her countenance. She had found the answer to all her problems. And so, quite boldly and determinedly she bought the magazine, for in those few moments, from those few words, it was given her to see the influence of the Home Dressmaking Institute on her own future. That night she dreamed that she, too, flirted with the handsome clerks in the store — that she, too, like the old girls, knew the trick of asking, Mr. , haven ' t you ' Just One Kiss ' ? A windy day in February. A stylish, girlish figure eagerly climbed the hill to Washington Avenue. The poised head above the becoming hue of a chic black frock, hat pulled jauntily close to flaming cheeks — Miss Style plus — you might say.

To explain the ultra-conventional-back-to-classicism movement (no! nothing like the Carolina wiggle) — I ' ve just completed a course in English — made an A , and so to boast of my progress I am writing. Speaking of progress, my dear chile, you should see your old Alma Mater. She has been rejuvenated — face lifted, eyebrows plucked, hair dyed, etc. — to be less symbolical — we are at last being allowed a few of those liberties we ' ve been long- ing for — lo! these many years. Card playing is permitted! — I can almost hear your cry of astonishment, almost visualize your wondering countenance. Of course there are limitations. For instance, no bridge is allowed on Sundays or other Sabbath days — but — who cares? Another bit of stunning news — the swimming pool — yes, that same swimming pool you prayed for when you were here — is at last completed and is in actual use. as the noise issuing from that building doth daily certify.

The campus under a cloudy spring moon, the sort of night that makes senti- mentalists of the most practical. My window is open and perhaps the sound of the frogs down the hill is more magical than I know, for all the years that I have wel- comed from this same window seem crowding their beauty into one hour. Unresist- ing, I give myself up to their insistence and relive old scenes. Queer how time can veil events so cleverly that all the past seems lovely. As a Freshman — sobbing my heart out all because I was new and couldn ' t quite under- stand the ways of girls. But tonight all that tragedy is dim with years. Only the picture of a crimson lichen in the midst of prosaic gray moss remains vivid. Only the beauty lingers from all that year of memories. Chameleon-like the hill gives background to each shadow drifting across. Now my second autumn here and the blue haze wraps us vet a little while in the loveliness of a summer romance, still a little dreamy and unwilling to become practical again. Now, the first snow flurry rouses love of cozy fires and lights and talk. The hill, — stage scenery, just a little cold and unreal in its detached beauty. Winter has come back; a little study, but mostly talk, talk, talk — illusive thread — the stuff that dreams are made of. As the years pass the narrowing of the circle of acquaintances to a small group of friends — the joy of congeniality. Suddenly, April a year ago — my third spring on the hilltop — and April tonight are side by side, flung like a lace scarf beside a chiffon girdle across apple blossoms on a dark table — my hill tonight. And since magic has done all this — given us visions of old dreams — illusions — selves — just one peep — just one day of a future April, a spring greeted far from here. There! It ' s gone. I ' ve been too eager. I must wait. There ' s a soft moon, and jonquils on my table are stirred by the wind. It ' s spring on my hill, with the chanting of frogs down below where the water runs darkest. The wistful ghosts of the other years melt into the shadowy mists. I am alone now — suddenly so — and my view of the hilltop is dimmed by tears. It is a wee bit sad — this remembering. 208 Wn THE DATTLLriLLD P Mood The street lights struggle Up thru smothering, shifting scarves Of fog Glinting wickedly On cold, black, treacherous streets. — I draw the heavy curtains close And turn back To mellow firelight. The broken-hearted wind Stirs dangerously in the shadows. Threatening gustily The velvet ' s protection. Memories struggle Upward thru misty dim years Of life Gleaming luridly On deep-hidden thoughts in my soul. — I close the gateways of my mind, And turn back, trembling To your love. — HuLDAH Morton. 209 ' And iifoinul tlio liows ami along the side Tlie lieavy hammers and mallets plied, ' Til after many a week at length Wonderful for form and strength Sublime in its enormous hulk.

The shiek, a weakly man is he. With small and girlish hands; And the muscles of his frail little arms Are as strong as rubber bands. His hair is sleek, black and long, His face is like the sand; His brow is never wet with honest sweat, For he dodges work whene ' er he can. And he looks not a soul in the face. For he owes most every man. On Sunday he does not go to church. But gets a crowd of boys And rides up and down the hill . And takes girls riding in cars; Filling the Holy Sabbath air With much unnecessary noise. Loafing — rejoicing — dancing. Onward through life he goes. Each morning sees the same old day begin, Each evening sees it close. Nothing attempted, nothing done — He earns a much needed repose. Woe unto thee, my worthless friend. For the lesson thou has taught. Thus at the soda fountain Your fortunes must be wrought. And on its marble counter shape Each evil deed and thought. mi THE BATTLEFIELD P Voice on phone: liillif Sluni|) is sick and ciiii ' l allciid riasses today. She re- quested me to notify you.

She won the race by such and such For being the biggest talker. 224 1 THE DATTLLFILLD m Now shed a tear for Kliza Peak, She cut two meals in one week. There was a young prof named Dorsett, Whose waves could not be more set. When asked for his reason He answered with treason I put water on my hair from the faucet. Here lie the bones of cute Miss It, Otherwise our Peggy Sellers. To council she did confess it That she flirted with the fellers. There is a dear dean name Tyner, Who could not be any kinder. He smiles quite well, And always can tell My pet major from my minor. This is the grave of Hilda Belote. She would not read what the signs denote. This was a girl known to fame. Her name was Leavelle Session. She wouldn ' t move from before the train Until she had permission. Finally — weep awhile for the Battlefield Staff. ' Cause they ' ve struggled so hard to make vou laff. 225 - S n THE BATTLLFIELD P H THE DATTLLFILLD W Oh ! Dear Dreams of Youth ! ! Three dates on the calendar emblazored i ' l scarlet hues — flaming vividly amidst the other drab weeks and months. Three limes this year the atmosphere on the hilltop has been tense with excitement, — boxes arriving by every mail, new frocks and old ones made new (sh! sh!), marcels, permanents, and intensive diets. Is there any wonder then — that the group of girls we glimpse, tripping lightly down the stairs to the eagerly waiting escorts below, is an unrecognizable one — alarmingly lovely, startlingly, bewilderingly so? The shimmer of pastel silks and deep-hued satins, silhouetted against the sombre black of tuxedos, the delicate odor of faintly alluring perfume, flowers, evergreens, murmur of gay voices, subdued laughter, the haunting or taunting — it matters not which — strains of the orchestra. Hours like seconds — then the dance is ended. Hurried goodnights and other farewell pleasantries. And so another leaf in your memory book is turned — another memory, a dear, dear one is placed in the treasure chest of your heart, to be cherished there always. F ' n THE DATTLLFILLD P The Rocks You great pieces of stone jutting out into the water, You have a power to understand, though no soul. You great lonely rocks help me when I ' m weary. I find peace in your solitude, broken only by the murmuring waters. Your beauty is reflected by the golden light of the moon As you stand silhouetted against a blue, star-sprinkled sky. In the presence of you silent forms I feel recreated. You are like unto an old lady who deprived of beauty Has now come to a tender, mellow old age. m THE DATTLLriELD P Alma Mater Eager voices are singing, Swelling high, exultant, clear! Happy hearts their praises are bringing, Alma Mater clear! Alma Mater, can you hear us? Hear us as we sing? Praise to thee, dear Alma Mater, Loyal hearts do bring! Through our busy years of college We ' ve faced the problems square, And squarely gained each bit of knowledge, Won the laurels fair. Alma Mater, can you hear us? Hear us as we sing? Praise to thee, dear Alma Mater, Loyal hearts do bring! We ' ll lift thy standards high forever, Whate ' er fortune chooses to send. Thy ideals true, forsake oh never! Never ' till life ' s end! Alma Mater, can you hear us? Hear us as we sing? Praise to thee, dear Alma Mater, Loyal hearts do bring! Yes, we love our Alma Mater, Noble Alma Mater dear! Gladly blend your voices, daughters. For her colors cheer! Alma Mater, can you hear us? Hear us as we sing? Praise to thee, dear Alma Mater. Loyal hearts do bring! God. the giver of all knowledge. Hear us. unto Thee we prav ! God our Father, bless our College. Hear our prayer today! Alma Mater, can vou hear us? Hear us as we sing? Praise to thee, dear Alma Mater. Loyal hearts do bring! ' Fear not each sutlclen sound and shock, ' Tis of the wave and not the rock. In spite of voek and tempests ' roav, In spite of false lights on the shove. Sail on! nor fear to breast the sea. Our hearts, our hopes,- are all with thee.
