Three years we ' ve played the game and on the verge of our last lap we pause to check over this past year. First, we welcomed our Little Sisters into our midst by giving them a Hallowe ' en party, where they formally met Mr. Billy Goat. Next, after a hard fight, we won the Hockey Championship, and thereby caused the envy of the whole Student Body. The Benefit caused many a girl an extra heart beat as she gazed upon our young heroes, heroines, and choruses. Convocation introduced our Junior Quartet to the Public. Also, for the first time in the History of the school, we received our Senior Class Rings before the summer vacation. Since we have stuck together for three years now, it looks like we will reach the Home Stretch sooner or later. Some are coming in sprinting high, others jog- ging along comfortably, while still others barely keep the pace, but ALL reaching the goal someway, somehow.

If so, then you know the meaning and sweet- ness of this little page. I had a vision concerning the Sophomore Class. Not just one or two of the most outstanding members, but the entire class. Before I tell you what my vision was I am going to tell a few things about our class and then you will understand why this vision came to me. What more could be said of a class than the mere fact that they pull together? Never have we been known to lack pep and school spirit, and as far back as I can recall the Sophs never shirk a duty. I could fill pages and pages about these Devils, as we are called, but I must hasten on to the main point of my story. Two years in college has helped us, and in many ways we feel we have given something to the Alma Mater that will always be dear to us. Some of our classmates will not return, but those that do will help make my vision come true. Can you imagine what it is? No doubt you can ' t, so I will tell you in simple words — to make the best Junior Class ever in the history of our dear Alma Mater. Can we do it? Yes, we will.

S. T. C. when we present this list of the special beliefs of the class of ' 33: 1. That the upper classmen aren ' t half as bad as we Freshmen had been led to expect them to be. 2. That term papers and library assignments are nuisances. 3. That it ' s always easy to get a ride to town on the day you are alone and can ' t accept it. 4. That one man in Fredericksburg is worth three in Washington, Richmond or Baltimore. 5. That a little love is a delightful thing; too much has a disastrous effect on college grades. 6. That Sunday would be the ideal day for Freshmen to have dates. 7. That it must be wonderful to be a Junior or Senior and be able to see what is going on on the stage during a lyceum number. 8. That it ' s theoretically better to teach domestic science for a salary than to practice it for a husband. 9. That money has wings of its own, especially during the hours that the tea room is open. 10. That tough luck is all that keeps us from winning all the interclass games we play. 11. That the rising bell rings loudest on Sunday morning. 12. That home is a much more interesting place than we formerly corsidersd it. 13. That while high school Seniors were much more sophisticated than college Sophomores and Juniors, there is nothing to compare with the dignity possessed by a State Teachers College Senior or Freshman. 14. That none of the professors agree with anything we say or think. 15. That life isn ' t half as simple and nice as we ignorantly thought it was, if we are to believe what we learn here. 16. That college would be lots of fun if it weren ' t for the classes and rules. 17. That the Student Council has a sixth sense for those who break their precious regulations. 18. That the Dean of Women is either one step behind or two steps in front of this generation — very probably the latter., 19. That the Red Devils will never get our Goat. 20. That Monday and Tuesday are the longest days of the week; Saturday and Sunday the shortest. 21. That Fredericksburg graduates always make the best school teachers — if they can get a job. 22. That Fredericksburg State Teachers College is a grand old school, of course, but two (or three or. four, as the case may be) years of it are enough for anybody. 120 Mosf Popular Grace Tagfor Wiffiesf Wifdia Crawford Cufesf Mar aref Sellers Mosf Aff racfive Kafherine Gaffagher Besf Aff Around Dai§g HamF ' n Preffiesf Maffie KirkSam Most Af hfeHc FfizabefK CorMns BETTIE BILLINGSLEY May Queen— 1929 sKi ' sn CROWNING OF THE MAY QUEEN— 1929 W M O barrie Dunkun?

When it was decided to select the ten per cent of the present Senior Class who are the best students, the question of how to do the thing arose. After much thought upon the question it was determined to base the selection upon grades alone. In this way no personal opinion could possibly enter. The files in the office were carefully checked by a faculty committee and it was found that the five best students in the Class of ' 29 are Molly Vaughan, Bettie Billingsley, Mary Lee Nussey, Elizabeth Coe, and Mary Nicol. We hope that this plan of giving honor to the ten per cent of the Seniors who have made the highest grades during their four years at college will become a tradition here, and that each year the same thing will be done. uXfauqhi Wolluliauqhan 13et|ie ISillingsleu Warij fee I?ussea (Slizabeih Coe Wara Hi col See where she comes, apparelUd like the Spring.

Julia T. : I just had a phone call from Peyton. He ' s the most considerate boy I ever knew. Betty B. : What did he have to say? Julia: He wanted to know if I got home all right from the dance he took me to last night. WHO? In my opinion — My woid. How come. If u ' wanna catch me, use a little salt. Run up a poster. That ' s not what I was fishing for. Well, Miss Brown, it all depends on your point of view. Now, young ladies, don ' t get excited over a little written lesson. Don ' t let anybody ever tell you that the United States can ' t whip the world. 25c fine — you should have got it in on time. Now wait a minute, there ' s just one thing we want to get here.

Statistics: We spend one-third of our lives in bed. It isn ' t enough. — Life. EXTRACT FROM A SENIOR ' S SCIENCE PAPER When an inflated automobile expands when it gets hot because the air in the tire gets hot and expands.

Well, why do we put a hyphen in bird-cage? U. B.: It ' s for the bird to sit on! Helen and Mary were walking thru the grove on arrival at S. T. C. H.: What in the world is that ole broken-down building over there? M. : The open air theater. Helen, it was all right if you returned the ring, but was it necessary to mark package ' glass, handle with care ' ? Trudy: Well, I passed math at last. Jack: Honestly! Trudy: What difference does that make? Mr. D.: Why do girls like boys ' books but boys do not like girls ' books? Blanche R. : Well, when I was a girl . M. L. N. : I never thought much of poetry until I started reading it. 190 Mr. Dorsett (in supervision class): After observing a lesson, which would you do, drop by the teacher ' s desk and say a few words or pass out with the rest of the students? ?: Is Barbara fast? ??: Fast? Why, her mother won ' t even let her accompany a man on the piano unless she is well chaperoned. GETTING WILLIE OFF TO SCHOOL (As It Probably Will Be In 1959) Willie, you ready for school? Yes ' m, almost. Got your arithmetic? Yes ' m, my adding machine ' s in the car now. How about your penmanship? Aw, my portable typewriter ' s in there, too. I bet you didn ' t get your spelling. Yes ' m — just start up the dictaphone and listen. And your history? Aw, gee, yes, Ma — that teacher only gives us two reels of Washington Cross- ing the Delaware Bridge. Never mind, Willie, ride along now and don ' t be late for your geography class. Aw, shucks, Ma — that old geography class airplane never does start on time . . . Gimme light! Marion Lathrop: I see that some man has suggested a statue to the man who invented rubber tires. Mariette: Yes, but wouldn ' t a bust be more appropriate? Frances U. : Why is the Fourth of July like an oyster stew? Joe B.: It wouldn ' t be much without the cracker. What street is this? Lafayette. We are here. What F. S. T. C. Student: Would walk a mile for anything, Would ever admit that they satisfy, Or would test out the difference just a few cents make, Or would reach for one instead of a sweet ? Dr. Dodd: Define deficit. Violette Stoner: A deficit is what you ' ve got when you haven ' t as much as if you had just nothing. =D ir ONE WEEK (By One of Our Week Minded Poets) College week had just begun. Sunny picked a man with Mon. Handsome, too, no chance to lose. Good things always come on Tues. Simple man — war paint red. Cinch her then to Wed. Could she really make him hers? He was due to call on Thurs. All day long time did not fly. Other catches were small Fri. When he came they had a chat, On his lap she coyly Sat. Later went to Reverend Dunn, Now they ' re praying for a Sun. The fellow who sits around waiting for his ship to come in will find himself the possessor of a whole fleet of hardships. Men who would raise Cain if they found a hair in the soup, enjoy dancing cheek to cheek. The Government Printing Office is in for a Senatorial Investigation. A compositor, setting up a copy of a Senator ' s speech, in place of (Applause) put (Applesauce). Helen: Why, you have changed over night. Nellye: Sure, haven ' t you? Eva Kimbrough: You poor fish, don ' t fold your napkin in this cafe. Atwood: I ' ve got to, to get it in my pocket. Dot Herman: I wouldn ' t give you a straw if you were drowning. Estelle White: I wouldn ' t touch it if you did. We never yet heard of an absent-minded professor up here on the hill who forgot to flunk anyone. 192 Peg Sellers was overheard yesterday making a very bright remark. She was talking to Liz Wynns and suddenly exploded forth in this wise speech: There are two way s to win a man. One is to lie to him, and so is the other. Merkie: Well, I sure knocked ' em cold in my courses! Bessie: Yeah, whadja get? Merkie : Zero. Alton: Have I showed you where I hurt my hip? Molly (shocked and horrified) : No! Alton: Well, we ' ll drive over there. Washington Telephone Operator: It costs seventy-five cents to talk to Fred- ericksburg. Mr. Darter: Can ' t you make a special rate for just listening? I want to call up my wife. Extract from paper: The bearded lady of Ringling Bros. Circus died on Staten Island, leaving a wife and five children. Dr. Cook (in physics class) : This department concerns itself with two kinds of energy only — kinetic and potential. Energy due to heat you will get down below. Bill Bradshaw: Shall we sit in the parlor? Grace Mitchell: No, I ' m too tired, let ' s go out and play tennis. And then there was a freshman who waited all evening in the amphitheater for the open forum to begin. Mrs. Bushnell: I cannot call any girl to the telephone, but I will deliver any important message. Bus. Thompson: Er, yes — just tell Helen — er — toodle oo sweetums eatums. Little tastes of lipstick, Sticky, sweet, and red. If taken as a diet Will leave one sick or dead.

Though it is not generally known, snails seldom use asbestos break lining. 3. Very few cases of snow blindness are on record in Panama. 4. Eskimos are quite collegiate. Fur coats are obligatory in the best Arctic Circles. 5. The drug habit is not prevalent among jelly fish. 6. The percentage of flappers suff ' ering from painter ' s colic is not as great as one might be led to believe. 7. The word sygyzy does not appear as frequently as it should in cross word puzzles. 8. Contrary to the popular belief, the pools of dry gin found in the Sahara desert are not large. Dr. Dodd: Did you girls ever hear the story about the boy, the man, and the donkey? Z. Maney and C. Stone: Yes! We got the worst end of it. CO-OPERATION Two fool jackasses — say, get this dope — Were tied together with a piece of rope. Said one to the other, You come my way, While I take a nibble from this new-mown hay. I won ' t, said the other. You come with me. For I, too, have some hay, you see. So they got nowhere, just pawed up dirt. And, oh, by golly, that rope did hurt. Then they faced about, these stubborn mules, And said, We ' re acting like human fools! Let ' s pull together. I ' ll go your way. Then come with me and we ' ll both eat hay. Well, they ate their hay, and they liked it, too, And swore to be comrades good and true. As the sun went down they were heard to bray: Ah! this is the end of a perfect day! K. Gallagher: Sheedy fainted at the Club the other night and we thought she was going to die. Skinny: Well, did she kick the bucket? K.: No, she turned a little pale. 194 Caudy: Why don ' t you go into burlesque? Louise Garnett: I haven ' t got the face to do it. Caudy: Never mind the face. Have you got the figure? Mr. Darter: And just think, class, it has taken that river many thousands of years to wear its way down through the solid rock. Mary Byrd Bledsoe: Many thousands? why, Mr. Darter, it ' s only 1925 now. A FABLE The King was playing tennis. He missed a ball. Somebody kick me, cried his majesty in high wrath, and sixteen courtiers were killed in the rush, for ' twas no mean offense to disobey his highness in those days. Jack Dickert I in her class at C. H. S. ) : No, Fielder, you must not say ' I ain ' t agoin ' . You should say, ' I am not going, you are not going, he is not going, we are not going, you are not going, they are not going. Fielder (very surprised): Gee, ain ' t nobody goin ' ? Barber: Is there any particular way you ' d like your hair cut? Liz Saunders: Yeah, off. Fatima on a Camel With Herbert Tareyton Rode out to Chesterfield where lo! The game had just begun. The other side was winning. Which Herbie didn ' t like. But still he staked the Camel, Upon a Lucky Strike. Alas, the English Ovals Blue Boared straight thru the air Into the Bensen-Hedges, And Diety! stuck there! Yes, Herbie he bet heavy, And now that Herbie ' s broke, Fatima, she forsook him; Moral: Men — don ' t smoke. Durkin: How did the Dramatic Club play the ' Comedy of Errors ' ? Peggie B. : We put twice as many errors in it as Shakespeare did. Katherine Lawrence wants a book she can lose herself in. Miss Barnett: What did Sir Walter Raleigh say when he spread his coat for Queen Elizabeth? Margaret Miller: Step on it, baby. m i. rn: I3 C r vc ■ ■J crrzD Anne: Gosh, Margaret, I envy you your vacation — I never saw a girl look so all in. Very handsome, debonair, Awfully tall and curly hair. He will see a baby stare — and fall. ' : Dark and medium in height, Hair that ' s neither dark nor light, He will see two eyes bright — and fall. Many types of men I see, Just as different as can be, And I wonder who ' ll see me — and fall. Dot Pettus: Why didn ' t you invite Herbie to the German Club opening dance? Anne Tankard: I smelled liquor on his breath. ! , Dot: I didn ' t know he drank. j ' Anne (griped and sad): That ' s just it — he doesn ' t! ' i Jeannette Luther: I ' ve learned my lesson — I ' m through with men. Lillian Perdue: And I ' ve learned mine — I ' m through with saying I ' m through with men. A famous alumna wrote to a certain party on the Hill. In her epistle she boldly made the following statements: College is just like a washing machine: you always get out of it just what you put in, but you ' d never recognize it. Mary has a little box She takes where e ' er she goes. In it ' s lip stick for her lips And powder for her nose. What ever else is in the box Nobody ever knows, But from her scant attire at hops •. ; We judge it is her clothes. . ' i Boots: An airplane flew over the school this morning and I saw the aviator. He flew down so low he spoke to me. Frances Simpson: He must have been low down to speak to you. ; 196 SELECTIONS FROM THE RUBY YATCH OF OMAR KHAYYAN (As Translated by Students of F. S. T. C.) Wake! for the bells that have put our dreams aflight Along before them from the field of night, Drive now the righteous from their beds, and strike Their gongs. Egad ! with touch none too light. Before the phartom of false morning died, Methought a voice from the stairway cried, When now the ' flu ' is raging, put on your slickers. And, ' til the bell, stand on the inside. I sometimes think there never blows so cold The wind, when standing in the old Balcony of Monroe Hall, excited, Trying to repel the advances of some gentleman bold. Lo, some are nice, handsome and of the best From Virginia Tech, Virginia and the rest Of just such institutions, who yearly send Gay gentlemen south on the quest. i CAN YOU IMAGINE— The tricks Dr. Cook could do with a trapeze instead of an electric light wire? What would happen if Jeanette Luther lost her voice? Evelyn Thornton doing the shag ? Lillian Sturtevant with nothing to say in a Student Body meeting? Dr. Kramer with lots of hair? Mary Kathryn Shultz calling Miss Enders Phoebe ? How lost Dot Hester would be without tea? Liz Wynns without her favorite pose and expression, Pardon me ? Peg Sellers not wiggling her shoulders to a low down tune? Peggie Branch not blushing when someone tells a joke? Mary Wingfield getting tight? Dr. Baker without her pocketbook? Mr. Dorsett without his opinions? Camilla Payne speechless in class? The date maids calling for you immedialely when the dates arrive? Helen Worrock on a heavy date? Betty Lewis without a date on Saturday night? Molly Vaughan night riding? Mrs. Bushnell answering any question without the usual preliminary speech? Genevieve Miller feeling depressed? If you can — you ' re too good for us. 197 W 3C r : 3C T THE POET There are weird things done by a writer When to burst into print is his goal, And he talks of skin that is whiter Than the lace of a preacher ' s stole. Aye, he prates of eyes like the rivers, And of hair that never knew dye. And he chews his pencil to slivers With many a weary sigh. Dr. Dodd (in accounting class) : If you were an accountant in a business house, and a fire occurred, what is the first thing you would do? M. Lynch: Open a fire sale. QUALMS IN QUARANTINE A Book of Dewey on the campus hill, An ice cream cone or Tea Room Hershey bar For sweet contentment — insufficient still. While Fredericksburg is just one mile too far. My sense feels like unto a nesting bird That all too shortly will be flown. Unless with gum or glue or sticky caramel Head to neck be firm-fast sewn. If soon the college will not grant me leave To visit once again my sweet home town, Pray place an order Rush for me — Strait jacket one; and room in Staunton, all alone! OH, PARADISE: Monday — Lectures in everything. Tuesday — Lectures in everything. Wednesday — Ditto. Thursday — Lectures in everything. Friday — Lectures in everything. Saturday — Holiday. Sunday — Holiday. Corky (while supervising 6th giade P. Ed.) : Miss Bass, see that girl over there. Well, she seems to be kinda dull; a moron or feeble minded. Miss Bass: That is the problem we have to contend with here. Just which one do you mean, tlie one in the brown sweater? C: No, the one in the red sweater. Miss Bass: Oh, that ' s the student teacher.

AMATEUR VERSE Did you ever try to scribble some verse When you felt so gay and exotic? But the words came through as slow as a hearse. And they seemed so idiotic? You sat down with paper and pen, Scratched your beezer and tried to think. But nary a rhyme could you start, and then. You decided ' twas time to drink. And when you returned afresh to the fray You said that now you could go; | ■) But the muse held you back, and again in dismay i ' J You realized her answer was, No! i q But at last you dashed off a dismal par. Of poems that rhymed; you might as well Tear ' em up, along with your hair, Or send them off to — The Battlefield. [ T Virginia Mitchell: Why didn ' t you call me last night when Bob tried to kiss you? Puddin ' : But, Virginia, I didn ' t know you wanted to be kissed. She ' s a hot one for studies, A spectacle of powers: Her goggles proclaim it, She labors for hours. 199 ' ,1 SONG HITS You ' re the Cream of My Coffee — Breakfast milk.
