Senior Class History 0 ' E afternoon last week, as the historian of the Senior class sat alone in the Physics and Physiology lecture i m, thinking over the past four years, and vainly endeavoring to recall each brave deed accomplished liy the Class of ' 09, that she might record all in Volume IV of its history, she heard a weird noise, and being in an imaginative frame of mind she soon perceived that the mysterious sound, which almost made her shiidder, pro- ceeded from liehind the drawn, lilaek curtain in the corner. At first the timid little historian was disjxiscd to be nervuu.s, but, when Aie heard the words, Oh, that T had l)een here since 1905, to watch this noble band through the whole four years of its college lite, she reeognizcil the ghostly voice of the skeleton, the domition which the Class of ' 07 had made to the college. For a while she sat, i)ondering over the meaning of Skeleton ' s wurds, and wondering what in the world he could be referring tn. IJut her mind was snon satisfied on this jioint, as she heard a voice from the Physics locker, answering Skeleton in tones which indicated that the subject was an oft-discussed one, But T have recounted to yon, many tiuies, the startling ex]ieriences of the reciird-breaking Class of ' 09. Ts it ])ossil)]e, said the historian to herself, that Force-]ium]i and Skeleton are enteriug u]icin a discussidu (if the Senior class right here before me? Good; mayha]) tliey will give me a few jiointers for my history! But her meditations were soon interi ' ujited by the voice of gaunt old Skeleton, who retdrted, in hard, icy tones, which well became cme of his nature, Yes, at the t 7 Commencement, when T moved in, to make the Senior Physiology Quiz a less terrible monster, you did tell me, briefly, of their first two years here; but I hope you don ' t expect me to have learned as much of them, from the cut and 29 dried descri])tions of a f()rce-])nni]), as T have of their last two years, in listening to the animated discissions of their elass meetings. Well, let me tell jow once again, sighed Force-])nmp, in a deprecatory tone, what T gleaned from their class meetings, when they were verdant, little, newish, and when they were know-all Sophs. ( l!y this time the Senior had her note-ho ik and foinitain pen in readiness t(i take down the dialogue nf Force-])nni]i and Skeleton.) Tt was really pathetic (to use one of their Freshman expressions) to stand here licliind a lucked dnur and see thi ' ir futile atteuqits to organize, resnmed Fcirce-imiu]), and not he alile to help them over this, the greatest difficidty they had met in their shoi-t lives. The Sophonaires, that year, were especially savage, and seeu ' ed determined to ha-e all the fun ])ossible with these poor little maid . Xnnierons Fi ' eshman class nieetirps, to be held in specified Icctnrc i-oiiiiis. Were otHcially annnnnccil, to whicdi they innocently thronged, with the niosi ho]!cful of countenance ' s, aniticivatiini P ' reshman organization. P)nt, to their great disaii|)ointinent, they would always find already occupying the room those terrible Sojilis. liy whom they were ignominiously routed. Since these innocent little Fresbnieu cnnsidercd rliemselves well worthy of organizing without the valuable aid of the So]dioniores, they iswaited a better opportunity to name their class officers, and to -ainly wonder what folks were supposed to do in class meetings after this most imiiortant task was completed. But the greatest mark of vei-dancy was in the election of a class color, whieli, in this case, hap])ened to be grass-green I Ilowex ' er, they were not so green but that they taught the faculty and students a few lessons. For instance, yim remember hearing me say that the ' Student Government ' system came into the Fniversity with our class (as we always call the Class of ' O ' .i). Well, they were a happy band of fifteen; liaiipx-. tbeii- newish year, in their absolute innocence and verdancy; ha]i]iy, their second year, in their absolute intelligence and sophisti- cation, for they, like all college So]ihomores, knew, and knew they knew. How- ever, it was not as conceited a Sojihomore class as its ])redecessor and successor, but was content to assert itself only when occasion demanded, except for rigid insistence u]ion the ]irinciple of, ' Xo decoration without representation. ' The ]iride an l folly of the Soy)honiore year were forgotten, however, when they disco -ered, after the s])ring examinations of ' 07, that they were really Juniors. What a uoble liand they were I Oh, the lofty ambitious hidden away in each heart, to make this a class of which their . hna ilater might be justly ]iroud 1 ■ ' Oh, interru]ited Skeleton hai-shly, with a jerk which made the little historian jump out of her seat, so different was it from the slow, calm tones of Force-pumji. Oh, now I know what you ' re talking about. I was here when they came back in the fall of ' 07, and a jollier crowd of Juuioi ' s I ' ve never seen. It almost made me long to be back in school again, indulging in the pains and pleasures, which only Juniors can know. There was much that year to divert their attention from their studies, still they didn ' t fall behind. You remember how they labored for weeks in the fall over the selection of a class pin ; and again, in the spring, you remember the discussions they used to have over a new and original way to entei ' tain the Seniors; and — Yes, broke in Force-jjump, and how they used to cut dinner to search basements and attics for the cnidk. in the idle hope of finding at least a piece of it. The historian started to volunteer some very valuable informaticm on this ])oint, but she dared not break into their private convei-sation, even though it did concern her vitally. And now they are Scnini ' s, concluded Skeleton, with a heart-rending sigh, which set every bone in his anatomy to rattling. A few more days and they will leave us forever. How we will miss their gleefid laughter, their jihilosophical debates, and the weighty iliscussions in which they if ten indulged ! Seniors, the goal of their aiiibitioiis as Fresbnieii, So]ib iiii ires and Juniors, Force-piunp added. What have they to show for their four years here? Will they leave behind a rcciu ' d which will bring credit to their class? To be sure, they are not in the habit of discussing their achievements, but I ' ll warrant that though they be fewer in number than some other classes, who hold their meetings within these walls, ' it ' s ipuility, not (pumtity, that counts. ' Xo sn])erbri!liant intellects, no jwsitively dull ones — just a class of ( arnest, hard-working girls, most of whom will graduate with honor. Their motto, ' Lofty aims and earnest endeavors, ' they have carried with them throughout their entire college life, laboring earnestly to make their endeavors comuete with their aims. I predict for each a happy ' aftermath, ' since each possesses, The simple beauty of a useful life. Wliic ' li never dazzles and never tires. With this Foree-]iuni]) settled down into his old position, and Skeleton drew back behind his curtain of black, leaving the historian to muse over their words, thankful for the four yc;irs in which the Class of ' 00 had held together for sympathy and encouragement, siul at the thought of jiarting soon with those ■ whose friendships were hehl so dear, lint glad, withal, that in after-life, as in college, they might fight their battles, and win their victories, under a common flag, remembering, even, that it was by lofty aims and earnest endeavors that they are to-day Seniors of the Eajitist Fuiversity for AVomen.

Of course, our shafts may fall, dears, to reach the goal they seek; But. all the same, we ' ll never aim below that movuitain |ieak. For four long years, my classmates, we ' ve ground the l nuwledge mill: We ' ve learned, at least, the college yell and seen the cadets drill. We recognize the odor that comes from chafing dish ; And we no longer bait our hooks for very little fish. We ' ve racked our brains, niy classmates, o ' er ologics and themes: We ' ve cut up cats and crawfish — frogs also — in our dreams. We write our loves in Latin, in French we always think : We ' ve used up cords of pencils, too. and several pails of ink.

Twenty Years Hence I HEAVED a sisb of relief, on the afternoon of April 30, 1929, as the key grated in the rnstj lock if my schoolroom door and the last of my swarthy Mexican pupils disappeared over the crest of the hill. Vacation was here. As T turned slowly from the door a jianoramic view of the past rose before me: I thonght of all I had acconi])lished in the twenty years since I had graduated from the Baptist University for Women at Raleigh and I remembered what I had dreamed of doing. Long I stood and pondered, longing to know if I alone of the Class of ' 09 had accomplished so little. Memories of the day of Auld Lang Syne came floating round me, filling me with a great desire to visit the old scenes, to see the old faces, and to dream the old dreams. For many years I had been a stranger to uiy native land and it was with a childish eagerness that T turned my face hoiiiewar l, and to the Old North State. T sjient two days in Xew Orleans, but knew no one in the city. The first (lav T walked down through the Freindi (|uarters readings signs, and as I passed one attracted my attention: Mai lA .M K St I ' . i )I . e. The (!i ' eat Fort niie-teller. The Pahii-reader. Tells y(]ur juist, |iresent and future. Come in. Find out who yon are, what you have been and wliat you arc going io he from iladanie St ' Undine. St ' Undine! Where had I heard that name! T ])asse(l on by, but that name would not be dismissed. I went back to my room, lint that name, strangely familiar, haunted me still. Finally, I decided 1 would go to see Madame St ' Undine. Perhajis to see her would tlimw light ou rhe strange name and I ' ecall som( jiast experience. T went into ber fenf. fold her that T wanted my fortune told. Slu ' took my hand, looked at my jialm, glanced quickly up at me, and tlu ' u looked more closely at my band. Then she said, Lula Howard, wbei ' e (li l you come from Undine Futrell and no other. She had changed iiiiicb ill the twenty years. Few wrinkles marred her face, and few gray hairs could he seen on her temples; her form had lost its youthful slenderness and bad gained the cor])ulcncy of middle age. Fame and fortune were hers, but they bad not been won a- she bad pbiiiii ' d to win them in ber college life. Soon 1 left Kew Orleans. .Vs I iieared niruiingham I picked up a paper Mild l)cg!iii rciidiiig. 1 claiiccd tlii ' diiiih cnhuini aftrr ( ' (ihiiiiii in a listless manner, but finally encountered the words, iliss Louie Poteat, the great advocate of Woman Suffrage, on a tour through the South. I give the article in full : De.nvei!, Col., Mav fi, 1929. Miss Louie Poteat, the distinguished woman suffragist, left to-day on a tour through the South. She will lecture at many points on this trip. Miss Poteat is one of the first Southern women to advocate woman suffrage, and has done much to arouse the women of the South to assert their rights and to demand equality with men. Well, of all girls, Louie was the last I would have suspected of becoming a woman suffragi ' st, much less of lecturing throughout the country. Nothing more of im]iortance or of interest ha])]iened until I reached Raleigh, early one morning. I was tired, but not too tired to go to chapel, at the TTniversity. The old ])lace had changed ; new buildings had gone iip, a new library and a new auditorium. I was a stranger almost to my Alma Mater. From my seat in the chajiel F could sec the jilatform, the faculty, the choir, and the portraits that hung on the wall. Among the faculty T recognized none of my instructors, but Katharine Stajiles must have become one of the elect, for she now sat among the sages. I wondered why she was dressed in black and why she was teaching now, for T knew she had stojiped teaching when she was married several years before. From the people my eyes wandered to the ]nctures. There was one of T)r. ' aiin, of Judge Faircloth, of Mr. Pullen and another of Vivian Betts. T did not knoAV that she had become famous enough to have her portrait in the Assembly flail. last Katharine comes. My eager questions ])oured forth like a volley until she laughingly stojjped me. Not so fast; T am Irs. T arkhaui. Since my hnsliaiid ' s death, two years ago, I have been teacbiiig in his jilace as Professor of ilathematics. 1 wanted somelhing to do and Math, has always been my hobby. Yes, that is a ](icture of Vivian Pietts. Yon knew that she became a well kno l poetess. Since her death a few months ago her ])oems have been all the rage. ITer ])icture was )iainted by ilartha Lawrence and given to the college, ' ou (lidn ' t know t hat lartha was an artist Well, she is and her portraits and ])ictures are known far and wide. Yes, she is in New York now. Hattie Sue is in New York also. Y iii di lii ' t know it i Well, where have you been ( She is a great actress now and is starring this season in a jilay written es]iecially for her, Tlu ' Past No Index ti) the Fntnre. Von know she said, when we were leaving, that China was her destination. Mimie, Sadie Lon and Helen are all married. Helen was ahout the cnly one of the Avhole elass who attained her aim, and that was to marry a footliall jilayer. She is living in Georgia now. And Grace has become a great jonrnalist. She is on the staff of the Rericiv of Bericirs. Have you not read article after article signed G. D. Tt. ? Well, the anthor was Grace Daphne Rogers. In the Febrnary nnmber she has written on ' The College Annual as Expressive of College S]nrit. ' Yes, Lticy is teaching near Weldon. Xo, she never married. Are you going to stop to see her Make her tell yoti of Juanita ' s great feats. Why, she is a famous automohilist, and has just won the ctip in the race at Philadelidiia. I was bewildered by the strange fortunes of my classmates. I left the cha])el, saying to myself: This old world has turned ' round since twenty years ago. While 1 was in IJaleigh, a rece] tion was given at the Governor ' s mansion to which the public was invited. T always did like to shake hands with the grandees, and I decided this was a good op])ortimity to meet many of the best ]ieo])le of the state. I didn ' t think to ask anything about the Governor ' s wife, and yon can well imagine my surjn ' ise to see Sadie Lou, the one who ahvays hated rece]itions, standing second in the receiving line. T was dum- founded, but tinally mustere l nj) courage to sjieak to my old classmate, and to tell her that I never exjiected to see her wearing such great honors. She looked as if she had rather been anywhere else in the world, and it seemed to me the ' erv ii ' ony of fate that had ]int her in a ])ublic ])osition where rece] tions were everyday occurrence. From Raleigh I went to Weldon tcj see Lucy. I did not let her know that r was going, for I wanted to see if she were teaching scientifieally, and if she had made ])ractical all those things iliss Ap]i]ewhitc drilled into our heads about ])edagogy. T f(mnd her in her classroom. She was lecturing one little fellow very severely when I ste]i]ieil into the i m, but the lecture ended as snuii as she saw that she had a visitor. Her face lighted with jileasnre and her hearty handshake ])roved that slie hadn ' t forgotten onr Ahna ifater and the Class of ' 09. It was Lucy that talked, bnt a different Lucy from the Senior in college. She had discarded all her frills and furbelows, her rats, and switches and ] ntfs. Her dress was plain and simjile and her hair, always thin, bnt streaked with gray now, was dono up in a small knot on her head. Her 35 face had imt eliaiiged so inueli, but the grim, unbending, unrelenting look of the old maid school-teacher had settled there. As T left I wondered what had become of the doctor Lucy used to talk about, and why she had never married, but I did not ask her. As T went through Winterville T stopped over and s]ient a few day with Mimie. Mimie had become so fond of our class color while in Tvaleigh that she decided to change her name to Green shortly after leaving college. 1 do not doubt that she was happy and had found life worth while. It was good to hear her singing as she went from room to room, busy with her housework, and happy in her home. This was my last visit. T s]ient the sununer at my old home down in Sampson County. One day I happened to be in Clinton while a farmer ' s institute was in session there. After T had finished my shopping I wandered into the institute for farmers ' wives and daughters, and who should T see speaking to the crowd but Lnlie Marshall ! She was telling them how to make bread scientifically, and how to cook various things. T could not hel]i but smile to think of Lulic who had always been interested iu history and in research work, as lecturing on Domestic Science. Lulie was the last o f the Class of ' 00. I had seen or heard from every mendier of my class. Only one or two had succeeded in what they intended doing when they left college ; others had entered entirely new fields of work and had won fame, while others had gone in the same old tracks and had won recogniition if not renown. I was the only one of the class whose air-castles had to]ipled over and whose dreams had nexer materialized. I could go back to my work with a newer vision, for T knew that old ])laces change, familiar faces become strange and the old dreams come no more. r.

POWERFUL NIGHT- RIDERS ' SKIRMISH rembling Freshmen Captured — Many Frightened Beyond Recovery Often the pleasantest scenes are Hanged suddenly into the wildest dis- rder. Sometimes an uneasy feeling angs over the happiest crowd ever ssembled. Such was the occasion on ae night of October 31st, 1908. The ' reshmen were mingled with those ■ho were enjoying a delightful re- eption, when suddenly the room bell ang. A pang may have gone to iiany a heart, but assuredly one ' ent straight to the heart of every ' reshman. No longer were they to e concealed in the crowd at the re- sption ; but with all the dread and i3ar that a Freshman ' s heart can old (which is no small portion) tiey had to face the Sophomores. fith due power, the Class of 191], rrayed in Ku Klux style, marched arough the reception hail, thereby amlng the newish that the night C Sophs and dreaded Powers was ow at hand, and the hour and tinute not far away. Among the little verdant crew of ■reshmen is one Miss Johnson, who ecided that all would be well with ler on Hallowe ' en If she had an scort. However, at the appointed ime, much to her sorrow and em- arrassment, she had to take the sual treatment prescribed by the ophomore Class, and the escort DUld only wonder at the skillful (Continued on page 2) A GIRL TALKS IN HER SLEEP Class Secrets to her Roommate Unintentionally Great Aid to the Sophomores Freshman Class Meeting Broken Up as a Result Raleigh, N. C, Sept. 14. — Miss Kate Watson, of the Baptist Uni- versity Freshman Class, while asleep very unintentionally discloses class secrets. Evidently the burden of businesslike secret keeping had been too great for her fresh young brain, for during the past several days, in fact ever since she landed on the campiis-yrccn, we have noticed a deepening pallor of countenance, which we might say seems to be a very prominent characteristic of the Freshmen ' s complexion in general, and Is endangering the reputation of the good looks of the student body at large. On the night of the fourteenth, however, matters cam to a favor- able climax for the Sophomores, when after a vigorous, brassy serenade by the .Tunlors ' Band Miss Kate Wat- son retired, but alas for the security of her class ! No sooner had she fallen asleep than she imagined her- self discussing class matters with a fellow sufferer (and certainly her in- formation was welcomed by the Sophomore roommate, who, argus- ( Continued on page 2) HOCUTT-CARTER Brilliant Wedding of Popular Society Couple The chapel of the Baptist Uni- versity was a scene of surprising loveliness on Wednesday, April 2d, when Mr. Louie Ilocutt led Miss M. Carter to the hymeneal altar. The chapel was exquisitely decorated with ropes of southern smilax, ferns and cut flowers, and in the soft banks of greenery hundreds of can- dles cast a dim light that seemed to throw a glamour of fairyland over the whole scene. One of the most beautiful additions to the decora- tions was a large bell suspended from the central arch ; this was made of the favorite flowers of the bride and groom, large Paul Neyron roses. The groomsmen, Messrs. Pritchett, Watson, Griffin and A. Council, who were dressed in conventional black, were preceded by the dainty little ribbon girls, Maude Davis and Mamie Highsmith. These were gracefully attired in pink net dresses, made em- pire style. Following the grooms- men came four lovely bridesmaids. Misses M. Edmundson, M. Perry, L. Olive and E. Upchurch, gowned in green messaline robes. Then the bride in a dress of exquisite ele- gance and beauty — an imported gown of real lace, with princess lace veil — entered on the arm of the maid of honor. Miss E. Edmundson, In pink satin.

W. as flrst-class mail matter EDITORIAL This is the second time that The Sophomore Obsebver has held a place in our College Annual. In this edition we have earnestly striven to set forth the spirit found among our students and in the college. It we have come short of our aim, it has been on account of lack of interest given it. The Observer is dedicated to the Freshman Class, for whom we have the highest and most noble aspira- tions. We feel that we shall not have cause to lament that the dedi- cation has been to them ; and that in future years our act will not turn to us void. They have spent no time in day dreams, but have made up their minds to be fresh. How well they have succeeded, we leave to your gentle Judgment. It seems to us that the Juniors shall not be entirely neglected, and therefore wish it were possible to dedicate something of importance to them : but some gentle spirit whis- pers, Not so ! ' Tis better you try to add to the immortality of Cicero ' s name!

To the readers, we thank them for their warm reception of it before, ' and hope that the interest it re- 1 ceives now may even outstrip former, records. ' POWERFUL NIGHT-RIDERS ' SKIRMISH (Continued from page 1) manner in which it was carried out. Miss Carter, the president of this verdant band, after the reception was over, was seen rushing to her room in a frightened way. where she locked herself in. and was seen no more until Hallowe ' en was past. Next head, in size and color, is Mamie Ilighsmith. the vice-president. Nothing was commanded by the Night Riders that she failed to do. Among her many performances were dancing and eating molasses with her chubby little hands. A dose of .Soothing Syrup enabled her to do all the required performances. Misses Olive, Goodwin and tJp church surrendered themselves to the Klan. and entertained very gra- ciously with their green accomplish- ments. Dancing on the shaking table was an enjoyment greatly be remembered. Numbers of the good old songs were rendered very well in a treble key. The occasion was a grand and supreme success. Nothing before it has equaled it. Every Freshman is willing and anxious to do anything for the Imperial Night Riders — skip hop. or run in the spryest way. stationed just outside the little room in which a few frightened Freshmen were trying to stutter out a choice between two shades of green for a class color. But the decision was never reached, as a crowd of com- manding Sophomores dashed in at this critical moment and scattered the band helter-skelter through win- dows and doors into their own green world outside.

So, long and interesting- ly she confided, and advantageously for the Soph., who could scarcely re- strain a giggle when the enthusiastic sleeper told the time, place and ob- ject of the next meeting, the result of the last, etc. . Finally, from sheer exhaustion, she ceased talking and the Sophomore smiled learned- ly into the darkness. The nest day a gang of Sophs, ac- cording to Freshman directions, were HOCUn-CARTER (Continued from page 1) altar by the groom and his best man, Mr. G. Council, and the ceremony was performed in a charming man- ner by Dr. Rufus Williams of Monroe. Mendelssohn ' s Wedding March and Tannhauser ' s March were given throughout the ceremony by Mr. M. Savage, who rendered them with great skill. After the ceremony friends from far and near gathered in the spacious parlors to see the many handsome presents, which showed the high es- teem in which both the lovely and accomplished bride and the genial groom are held in and out of the city. The happy couple left on the midnight- train for Wake Forest and other points of interest. FAMOUS FRESHMEN!! Frances is a damsel quite frank. About whom Ethel ' s a crank. And who had a beau.

Veil, I ' m glad those giris are not GOOD FORM FOR FRESHMEN CRUSHES EN FACULTATE. I am head over heels in love th my Latin teacher and she seems be rather fond of me, too. Is it od form for me to show my affec- ins by bringing her flowers and lit when they are available? — L4NCES J. This is permissible to a certain tent when you are sure your devo- m is returned, but there is danger carrying it to the extreme. I have very tender feelings and I inclined to weep when they are lunded and especially on Math. LSS. Is it proper to give way to feelings or what should I do len I feel that I can ' t keep the irs back? — L. O. On first thought, it would seem It your conduct was rather child- 1 and undignified, but since I have ticed that your friend in the nior Class is guilty of the same, auppose it is all right for you, as sy seem to be your criterions. Opinions differ in regard to this Some say that under no circum- stances should a Freshman wear a veil. But with schoolgirls it is usu ally restricted to the good taste of the girl herself, and of her Junior friend. However, a pretty Freshie ' s face is considered more beautiful when not shadowed by a black veil. WHEN A MAN SENDS FLOWERS. Is it proper for me to accept flowers from young gentlemen while I am a Freshman at college? I am sixteen years old. — Edna. No, not even if he is your most intimate friend. You are entirely too young for such things, and young and giddy Freshmen should not let their thoughts turn to the language of flowers. You will have enough time for flowers when you be- come a learned Sophomore. How shall I, a poor little Fresh- man, conduct myself toward two Juniors who go with me a great deal, but who are inclined to be jealous? — Eunice. This is rather a trying position, but by showing tact and forethought you will be able to allay this feeling to some extent. Be friendly and straightforward in your relations to each and soon they will see that you take no notice of their petty jealousy. A PERPLEXING PROBLEM. Would you kindly help a Freshman decide a question which has been weighing on her mind for a long time? Is it considered the best taste to sit on Miss Coiton ' s trunk from nine-thirty until first room bell with my darling Junior? — Marvel C. No, my dear, I see that your con- science troubles you just a little, which it should : for you are in- fringing on your friend ' s time by keeping her during study hour. Be- sides, that end of the hall is entirely too dark and you subject yourself to adverse criticism. The president of the class should be more dignified and cai;eful of her conduct. WHEN PLAYING TENNIS When two Freshmen are playing tennis arid the Sophomore Tennis Team wants the court, what is the proper thing to do? — Mildred. Certainly you should leave imme- diately, for you should always give up to you superiors, and your class cannot even compare with the Soph owl. Do not get angry but act very meekly when in their presence. Per- haps you would learn something about the game, if you would only watch them. At what age is it correct for a ang girl, a Freshman, to wear a ■ck net veil ?— M. Highsmith. i A COMMON BREACH OF ; ETIQUETTE j Will you please tell me if it is I proper for a Freshman to kiss a Junior good night in the halls be- tween the room bells? — Virginia W. It is not customary to display one ' s feeling in public ; but if you are intimate friends, the Junior should accompany the Freshman to her room and there bid her good night. FRESHMAN BANQUET. Is it in accord with the rules of etiquette for the Freshman Class not to have a banquet during the whole session? We are scared to death that the Sophs, will come in and break it up if we attempt it? — Lelia G. No ! No ! No ! by all means every Freshman Class should at least at- tempt to have a banquet toward the beginning. It is quite prob able that such an enterprising Sophomore Class, as the one to which you refer, would spoil all your plans for a good time : but surely you can summon up enough courage to make a be- ginning. The night of the Sopho- more banquet was an excellent time. Why did you let such a glorious op- portunity pass without taking ad- vantage of it? AFRESHMAN-S INTERPRETATION November 20 : My daughter, your report card has at last reached me ; and why after each subject do I find the letter C ? Father, C means that of all the rest my class and exam worls is considered best. January 30 : And will you ex- plain to me, my daughter, why there ' s a D after your studies every autumn? The reason is quite plain, father dear ; 1 Deserve better marks than anyone here. April 1 : We read your report with great interest. But what does the letter F suggest? Father, trust me to do my self proud ; F means the finest stu- dent in the crowd. June 16 : And what, my studious, intellectual daughter, is the distinc- tion that you with FF foster? Father, dear father, congratulate me : . Fine, finer, finest, superlative degree. — Ex. Wanted — To know what class you would be in if you took the M. A, degree. — Junior Nance. Wanted — An immediate remedy to cure Mamie Highsmith of her high- tones. — Whole School.

Hmnframwspgrw PBaaHH PRETTY GIRL QUESTIONS All questions meant to Be answered in this column should he addressed to the Sophomore Class. Hot more than two questions will be answered hy one inquirer. Is it fashionable to use the black velvet band in arranging extremely light hair? — Mamie Highsmith. You should always be governed by what is becoming to you. Is it be- coming? If so, wear it. For several years I have been troubled with winking eyes. I think it must be due to force of habit and am anxious to discover a way of breaking myself of this most impleasant circumstance? — M. High- smith. Suppose you break yourself of the habit, my lady. But winking eyes are never considered a bad form of etiquette. Indeed, they are quite at- tractive and in some cases essential to a college girl ' s popularity. For a great many years I have suffered great perplexity on account of my kinky locks, and I desire to receive information as to how to remedy this most dreadful pest? Anxiously, Lida Olive. As your hair is naturally kinky I think nothing can be done to rem edy it. Be careful the arrangement. Do not wear such a large and fluffy pompadour, but fix it rather tight and the result will be marvel ous. Is there any possible way of reduc- ing my height in proportion to my weight. If so, please inform me at your earliest opportunity? — Mildred Bdmcndson. Take gym work every day instead of three times each week. Do every exercise that Miss Royster tells you especially the giant stride. Please tell me the way to win the affection of girls, especially Juniors — Eunice Edmundson. Always select the girl that you know to be crouchy. Then take her candy and flowers In profusion Soon you will see the effects and will be able to play bands on class and sleep with her on her little single bed. Please inform me at the earliest opportunity how to put on airs. 1 am president of the Freshman Class, — Marvel Carter. From your letter I think you are succeeding very well Indeed. Con- tinue to do that nicely, and soon you will be incomparable. Important ! Just received : Four car loads of admiration for the Junior Class of the Baptist Univer sity.

Sophomore Class History WE 111 ' mil have realized onr hight ' sr aim and ambitidu — Sophomores at last — wise and learned Sophomores, for the importance and sojjhistieatiou of Sophomority is the s reatest thing in the world. Although many and varied were the hajijienings of onr Freshmanism, yet we can not stoj) tn discuss them here, tor the course of events in the history of the Sophomore year must now l e recorde(l. Onr class began with only eleven members, but these few were such ardent workers that it has now increased in number from ele ' eu to twenty-four. Though it does not exceed in nundier, still it excels in many qualities which make the successful class that means to stand for the best there is in college life. By oui- united efforts we into ' ud that the achievements of our class shall be many, ever living u]i to our motto, Womanliness, worth and wisdom. On the ghostly eve of Hallowe ' en, all the school — the jioor little ••newish in particular — was terror stricken at the sight of the awe-inspiring body of ghosts, as we marched through the halls. Each ])oor little Freshman was trend:)ling in her boots, and hiding in some nook or cornei-. One was heard to say that she almost regrette(l liax ' ing joincil the class I K cn the strong ai-ms of the Juniors could not defend them, for they were not so jiowerfiil as they boasted. Although we have played but comjiaratively few games of basket-ball and tennis, still we have organized teams and the games we ha ' e ])layed have heli)ed to make otar class stronger. We are looking forward to the inter-class dcljates, to bring the college classes togethi ' r. Then soon after the Fall Term exaniinafi ins were over we gave a dinner party to our loyal friends, the Seniors. The ])arlors were beautifully decorated in the class colors, and there we spent a most pleasant hour playing hearts, and enjoying ourselves in general. From there our guests were taken to the dining room, where an elegant course dinner was served. And we indeed hope our elder sisters enjoyed the evening as much as we enjoyed having them. We coimt ourselves fortimate, indeed, in being the first class in school to adopt a class cap, which has greatly added to unity in the class. The pretty little white cap with a blue eleven has won the admiration of the student liody, especially the Juniors, who considerod it sn attnictivc tli;it flicy visiird all Sophomore rooms, relieving them of the 11 uaps, during chapel oni ' nioniing. and made of them a most tonching military disjilay in front of the (diapcl door.

As a result there are less than a dozen girls in school who arc not Y. W ' . t ' . A. members. This con:mittee was especially active at the opening of school. Its representatives gave to the new girls a corilial welcome into our midst, meeting them at the train. hel|)ing to make their rooms more homelike, and arranging their courses for them. The Mendiersliip t ' onunittee also has the honor of having established what is known as the V. W. ( ' . A. book store. a. FiNA.NCK — This committee, with .Tanie Bivens at its head, at the beginning of the year prepared a budget of estimated e. p;Mises for the year, including special objects, such as the Asheville Conference. .Missions, etc.. and devised plans for raising the necessary funds.

Ideal systems, as well as individual ideals, are elusive, and often we imagine that we have attained unto them only to find that the ideal is still receding and still enticing us onward. Ideals are essential to progress and development in the individual. They are just as essential to an institution. An ideal in itself is no good, however, unless we strive to reach it, unless we struggle to attain it. It is the struggle that gives strength and power. It is very well to say that we would like to be thus and so. but no ste]i forward will be taken if our efforts culminate in wishing mdy. We realize that our system is good, but if vr are satisfied with that fact we had better have no ideal. We are standing still and not advancing. What is needed is a deeper sense of honor among our students, a feeling of indixidual responsibility and loyalty to indi idual ideals. To livi ' up to a high standard does not deserve nuich credit if we ilo it only when we know that some one is watching. The girl who is true t :i her honor, who feels that she is responsible for her own self as well as for her friend, to a certain extent, will never do a right thing because it will be found out, or a wrong thing because there is no one to see and know. If the Students ' Association is to succeed we have got to make it succeed. We want the girls individually to realize that they are a part of the whole, and have many duties and responsibilities resting on them. The alue of self-government is well known. It gives experience, stability and moral stamina that will serve us well in after life. College life is to prepare us for the so-called real life. If self-government adds to the preparation and gives us new equipments that no other college work affords, should we not give it our loyal support and make the real approach more nearly the ideal i Can we mwke it a success? We can if wo will. Will we?

Only fifteen jjiils enrolleil as charter members, anil now every vacancy is filled with a nnnibev of applicants waiting for others to occur. The purpose of the organization was to give more thoiough training in original research work, in platform deportment, and in parliamentary rules than could be obtained in the regular society work. Thoroughness and effectiveness demanded that the number of members should be limited. At present the membership is restricted to thirty girls, who are eligible to some College Class, who feel the need of better training, and who are willing to gain it by hard, conscientious labor. Much of our success. perha])s we had better say the greater part, is due to the valuable suggestions and helpful ])rcsence of our Supervisor, Miss Phelps. The influence of the Sorosis has increased steadily and is already being felt in the societies, in the classrooms, and in every phase of college life. 78 I e U n ■ nt LITERARY S c 1 E 1 T i ■ 1 E ; I s j ' i f U L Uv Pbilacetion Litcrarp ocietp ■Pliiin liviiit; and liii;li tliinkiiiu. — Wonlsirorth. 30trotekton Literarp ocietp iU- builils too Imv who builds licncath tlii ' stars FLORINE PRITCHETT SECRETARY ANNIE GARDNER TREASURER 1 rUb « ONIE H0( m- S.

Mary Ainslee, the representative of Anderson, was entirely a]i])roved of by her classmates, for she had represented her ei)llege and her elass suecessfnlly many times. But Clara Smith alsii had wdii reiKJWii, so all things jiointed tnward a elese mateh and a hard-won victury. At the beginning of the year a qniet, jiale little girl liad entered college, and to the astcinishment ni ' all (he students had entercMJ the .lunidr class; Imt pii])iilai ' ity (lid not cimie hei ' way, fur she was very retiivnl, and exceedingly homely.

The Ruse That Failed ALL was excitt ' ineut and rush at Belmont College one evening early in March. It was the night of the annual college reception. The building was all alight, the parlors were splendid in their lirave decoration, verv nearly perfect now, an artist would have said, yet cmly waiting for the addition of the smiling, hap]iy girls in their pretty dresses to be quite irresistible. Along the corridors gay little figures flitted, and merry voices echoed in laughter, chatter and song. Now and then a door slammed as a white-clad figure skipped merrily to another building to see if her dearest friend were ready. Soon the receiving couunittee came down, smiling and elated, radiant and ha]i])v, full of auticijiatiim of the evening ' s pleasure. Tt was yet early when there came a ring at the door. The white-robed graces responded. A young man entered, and, asked whom he wished to see, said, Miss Elaine Ijratheson. One of the graces hurried away to call Elaine from a group of merry, chattering girls in the hall. Soon the ]iarlni-s were full of happy yo ing people, lieut on enjoying to the fullest extent this long-expected occasion. Among others there was a second y iuiig gentleman who entered and gave as the name of his friend, Miss Elaine lathesdu. Elaine came forward and received him graciously, introducing him td the earlier arrival, who did not look exactly ])leased. About ten minutes later the grace at the d ior was somewhat startled to hear the name again — ' ' iliss Elaine ] rathesnn. The same thing was ex- jierienced at intervals of about ten minutes until there had arrived no less than six gentlemen, each calling for Elaine. At the arrival of the fourth, the girls began to look smilingly st)S])ipious, and all curious to know what it meant. At this juncture the young men, too, Iiegan to lnok a little uneasy, but Elaine relieved them all by suggesting that they all gn into the hall. She conducted them to a cozy, charming little corner, enclnsed liy screens aduriied with scenes from .Ta]ianese life. .Tajianese lanterns lent their soft light to the charm of the scene, while fitting alxmt in enrners were little .Ta]ianese maids in native costume making ready to serve .lajianese tea. The feiir were somewhat astonished to find four (diariiiing ycmng ladies to meet them, who jiroceeded to chat and laugh pleasantly. Wluit v;is the secret nf tins riiu- iKil di ' c crciliut; IIciw did it ha]i|icii that Elaine had sd leaiiy frierds i)resoiit while ether liirls had hut one It was all the nsidl nf a little iiidnliieiice in s ' litiiiieiilalify.

Then Elaine told her friend the .st irv (if her indecision, the letters, and how she had intended to hiiin cme and mail the (jther next morning — but that fateful rush to breakfast ! Xow there won ' t be anv fun at all, fur Laurence would rather Jack wouldn ' t be here, and Jack — and Jack — I can just see him glower at Laurence now. Several of the girls heard of the mistake and thought it a jolly juke. There were some girls who envied Elaine her beauty, grace and jxjjiularity : these declared that it was good enough f ir her. She ' s always bragging on her beaux ; n iw let her have them to entertain. I wish another would arrive unex])ectedly, or something, and let her have her hands quite full entertaining. Oh, girls, the grandest thing has come to me. Just let me tell yon. They crowded around and talked low — for school girls. This was the plan : To send invitations to four other friends of Elaine ' s whose names one and another hap]iened to know, to have them all send replies to the post office box of a certain friend of theirs in the city — number 31 — to say on the invitation that that was Elaine ' s addi ' ess for a time, so that any mistake or chance of the replies reaching her would be avoided. The invita- tions were sent, letters of acce]itance duly received at box 31, and much merri- ment indulged in by the perpetrators of the phit. She ' s planning a glorious cnstnme for that evening, said one. ' ' I ' m not sure hut she ' ll be too discomforted to enjoy it. Think uf six gentlemen, one after the other, calling for one girl ! And how mortified she ' ll he! exulted another. Their ]ilan bade fair to work out successfully. The fi -e girls who knew it were resolved to kee]) it secret, and enjny the fun all by themselves. Later, others would see the joke and share the enjuyment. Probably it would have been a success had it imt been that ] Iiss Jackson, one of the teachers Avhose especial pet Elaine was, heard the girls make the ir plans thi ' ough the open transoms. She thought it was mean, Init she thought also that the better way, and more satisfactory to manage the att ' air, was to turn the joke on them. She was jiassing Elaine ' s door the day before the reception when she was called in. Elaine told her about Mabel ' s mistake in mailing the two letters, and her 129 c iiise(|iii ' Ht ililciiiiuii. Then Miss Jiicksdii told Iut the jiirls ' phiii aiifl suiiiiested that slie make it a])])eai- to the Vdniiii ' iiic ii that they were inviteil to meet her eiilh ' iic chiiiiis, and never let them know anythinii ' ahont the two letters or the plan if the envions girls. She heljied Elaine get her little corner ready, made (■a|)s for the little Ja])anese girls, and passed the halls oecasi inally to see the fnn. If yon had ]iee])ed in liehind the Japanese screens that evening ahont ten o ' elo(d , yon w inhl have seen i merry-looking crowd. TClaine was nicking s])rays from the little cherry trees that hloonied in |iots aronnd the little coi ' nei ' . Laughingly she gave one to each, saying : I wanted yon all to know my chnms hei-e, and so — we are here to-night. They assnred her, sincerely, that they had seldom had a hotter time and Elaine almost forgot the part she was jdaying — and what she was concealing, and added : Eeally T conldn ' t ha -e had a lietter time if things ... she stopjied, recalled hy a look from Mahel, and finished: Oh, T was jnst a little disa))]) )inted in some of mv arrangements. The . cherry trees were not as large as T wanted, that ' s all. There was a general langh, hnt the anxiety was yint down to a sclioolgirrs care for snch things. When they were gone, and fiss .Tacdvson, Faliel. ;ind Elaine were talking it over in their rocjins, they agreed that the tallies had turned ' ery jirettily. and the en ions girls were the ones to feel discomforted. ' ' Do yon sn]ipose it was -ery wrong in me to mar their iileasnre so f Yon silly child: of course not, said liss Jackson, while lahel added: Wrong T d rather think not. Yon onght to sne them for nsing your name so in those letters. Tn another room the consjiirators were asking with wondering faces: Who conld ' ve foinid ont onr idan ? Who conld have told her Tt was mean. Bnt we have to admit, said one, that she fonnd a gracefnl way ont of it: a trnly cdiarming way. After all, Elaine is a charming girl; really gifted.

A. T.. ' 09. As Told by a Fairy ONCE ill the (lark ages, when ynu and 1 were init, there was in the hiud of Somewhere an iiniiiense iiurserv, wherein there lived lads and lasses of all kinds and descriptions. This was a grand old nursery, so I am told, spacious and with great skylights through which the glorious sun poured by day, and through which the stars i3eeped and the moon smiled by night, keeping watch over tousled heads of all colors aud degrees of curliness and stringiness — on all the walls were written in big letters Mother Goose rhymes, and alluring Mother Goose pictures — Oh, it was a grand old place — each little rascal could do as he liked, and there was always that with which to do. There were sand-piles and pools of water just full of things that sure enough hoys gloat over; on the tliior, (ir any nld where you chose to look, were books, books galore, from little Ked liiding Ihmd to the story of Toui Thumb, and there were actually greasy ])oles and bars on which to skin the cat, for those athletically inclined; and ])iancis — and all this was mixed up in delightful confusion with flowers everywhere, and jialnis and trees, just an ideal ])lace for young ones to have a glorious good time, roll and tumble and tight, maybe, if they chose. N ' ow I learned all this from a good little fairy — you know they live always — and listen to what she told me about what she saw one day, when she was carefully perche l on a small twig high up in a tree, where no one could see her. Oh, 1 know it must have been interesting to see all those yotmgsters doing varied and sundry things. She said she didn ' t remember all, so long ago had it been, luit she told me about the little men and little women which impressed her most, and promised to develo]) the most striking personalities sooner or later. She remembered to ha -e seen sitting on the floor, with two little feet thrust straight out in front, and with chin uji at rather an uncomfortable angle, a wee gii ' l with red cheeks, wicked br iwn eyes, one of which she eoulil wink in a most bewitching manner, and straight brown hair; and this little girl was reading fairy tales from Grimm, — held up to make connection with her eyes, since she did not condescend to lower them to make connection with the book. Sitting near was iiiiother girlie, somewhat striking by contrast with lier little neighbor. She was decidedly chubby, with black hair, kinking all over her head, and iiig round black eyes out of which she was intently regarding her of the fairv tales with her head tilted to one side in a manner somewhat expressive f seoni — she bad lieen reading tnd. Init no fairy tales for her, thank vdii. It was the history of the Siege of Tmy to which she had given her attention. Xow, however, as I have just said, she was gazing at her neighbor with such intensity that presently the ])roud little chin was lowered, and by some force of magnetism her saucy l)r(iwn eyes just had to come down to the level of the big l)]ack ones. What ydU looking at me so hard for f ' she (juestioned the other. I don ' t care nothin ' bout make-believe things, curly-locks rejdied with a snort of eontemi t. Why don ' t you read somethin ' that ' s so f You isn ' t liccu reading anything, I don ' t believe, cause you couldn ' t see what I ' ve liecn doing, if you had. And with this cutting remark, Grimm ' s was resuniccl, (piite as if not a singk ' word had l een said. Then across the face of my ini|iudcnt starcr there broke the sunniest and friendliest of smiles, as she got u waddled over to the prim little lady with Grimm ' s and n t one arm around the stitf neck. Of course this was irresistible, and when the little fairy turned away they were amiably gurgling over a general mi.xtnre of fairy tales and historic ' rr iy. Fairy ' s attention was next called to a ])ool of water, which looked for the world like a sure nough crick, where luys just have loads of fun killing frcigs and sailing home-made boats. And liehold. in the middle of tliis gb.irious spot a liit of a lioy who looked exactly like a te(ldy bear, lie moved along slowly and jionderously, digging u|i things from the bottom with his toes, carefully examining them, and if tluy snitcMl jmtting them in his pockets, regardless of mud or the fact that they might lie frogs or creeping things. When hailed from the bank and asked what he was doing, he remarked in a gentle tone of voice, and with an air so languid that he was scarcely able to get his mouth open, that he was learuin ' about things that crept and growed, because when he was a grown-up man — never mind, you jest wait and see. Over under a big spreading tree, two other little girls were simply making things hum with the busy lives they were leading. On numberless beds, made from boxes or most of anything procurable, were dolls, and dolls in various stages of di]a]ii(bition, scal]ied heads, brokt-n arms and legs, terrible holes in jioor little bodies out of which jioured streams of sawdust — and still they came, brought liy disconsolate little mothers. One girlie in a bine gingham dress and white bil) and a]n ' on received the injured lambs, tenderly putting them to bed, all the tinu fussing for dear life that children irill be careless, and take colds and fevers In- sitting on the damp ground and by not using parasols. Gloving around from one bed to another was a yoiing lady of a very promi- nent type — tall for her age, wliicli was not more than seven, with the most deter- mined-looking CDuntenance, from which was pnshed haek a mop of straight red hair, plaited in a pig-tail down her back ; astride her nose was a pair of spectacles, improvised from a piece of rusty wire, procured from the goodness knows where. Each patient was given a soul-searching glance and the decision as to her ease pronounced in a most knowing and impressive manner. When the grumblings of the little nurse came to her ears, she tiirned and in a voice very condescending, and with nose turned up in the air, she remarked that children woiild never learn any sense. Over in another corner of the room there seemed to be a really, truly music school, arranged in three rows of chairs, singing as though their very lives depended on it, in all keys imaginable. One of the members seemed to be a. veritable ])rinia dimua — when a note was reached which the rest could not take they stopjjed in open-mouthed astonishment and awe as this youngster airily soared on and up to realms imapproachable by the common herd. Stand- ing before the grouj), presiunably as director, was a sturdy, matter-of-fact little fellow, with the broadest of smiles and merriest of eyes, beating the air wildly with a crooked stick, and turning first to the grouji of singers then to the accompanist, a grim little maiden pretending to play on a battered old toy piano, and occasionally to a solemn-faced, big-eyed, curly-headed youth, who played as a side issue a fiddle constructed from a tin pan. And this fairy friend of mine told me of something else she saw very, very interesting. With sleeves tucked back, and arme(l with scissors, there stood before a table two little girls; one rather dignitied and imi)osing, l)ut with a certain irresistible something, which made you want to hug her, and the other rather small, with blank-looking eyes, like she felt rather lost, liut at the same time making you feel like she knew all about you, and just what you were thinking about. Well, now, what do you reckon these young ladies had on the table before them ? — A poor little doll from whose head they had already re- moved the hair as one steji in the jirocess by which they ho]ied to find out what was inside her head and how it looked. I ' m afraid my tale grows long, but just let me merely mention another girl who recited most dramatically and with many graceful gestures, ' ' ' Twas the Xight Before Christmas, to an admiring audience. And still another wiry, agile little one, with hair ]ilaited right tightly, attired iu bloomers and blouse, hung from a ti ' ee by her toes, turned hand springs, skinned the cat, stooil on her licail, besides doing numei ' ous other sttints, requiring a vast amount of dexterit} ' . By this time my little friend said that it was growing dusky, shadows began to creep tln-ongli the skylight, a few stars could be seen twinkling their eves saiu ' ilv, mdcI ci infusion seemed to be giving ' place to a drowsy quiet. Preseiitlv a tall, gentle-faced lady in bine dress and white ajn-on came qnietly in, gathered np a child in her arms, called - ofrly to the others and fnrned to go out, with the s]ee])y brood following her. Would yon like to know this dear lady ' s name ' . Tt was Mother JSTatnre. I.ater when all was still, and the glorious moonlight flooded the peaceful room, mv fairv glided noiselessly into the next room, where the light turned low revcaleil the long rows of little white beds, in each of which there slumbered a little bov or little girl, all spic and sjjau with faces scrubbed until thev shone. Across the foor of eac-h Ix ' d was written in shining letters the name of its small occupant, and when the good little fairy stooped to kiss each slccpinii- child, she found, strange to say, that the names of those about whom she told me were: Elizabeth Avery, Mary Shanncii. Jo iah. Octavia. Elizabeth Delia, Elelen Marie, TVade E.. Elizabeth l)i ine. Gustav, Alary K., Effie. Caroline Berry, and Gertrude. Lrcii.E AnTHFR.

But, ah. how iliti ' ereiit I The spriiisitiiue of our enthusiasm is replaced l)y the antiniiii of onr tried efforts. The Leaves from our beloveil ( ' am])ns Oak ha c elianged their fresh green tints of eoloring into glowing red. lirown and pnrple. No longer are they satistiid to cling the one to the other, as in the spring when all are vonng, and needed to complete the gorgeotis array. Btit now, each leaf is matnre and beautiful, shedding abroad exquisite loveli- ness, fragrance and good-will as it is rifted away by some gentle wind. Should one have drifted into your midst, fellow-student, may it renew and awaken in Von a deeper and more abiding love for your Alma Mater — into yours, dear Alniiina ' , may it refresh in yotir soids the enthusiasm and spirit of your college life — and if into yours, gentle friend and reader, may it increase and strengthen your loyalty for our Alma ilater. As usual. Miss Poteat has been our right-hand man in every way. Rut especially are we grateful tii her tor her many artistic and stiggestive ideas. Also we wish to thank !Mr. Wade Tl. lirown for bis ceaseless energy in making our annual a financial sticcess. lie has endeared liimself to us all and shown us clearly what kind of work counts. Xor wonhl we forget the earnest endeavoi-s and many suggestions given us by Misses A]jplewhite, Smith and Davis. These we mention especially, but along with them we wish to thank all those who hav ' contributed in any way, great or small. Xow we liid you a gentle farewell, hoping that this our sixth volume may always remind you of our Alma Mater as it is here re]UT ' sented — indeed, as it is — in its joys, in its sorrows, in its work, in its jday.

Raleigh, North Carolina ' Uhose Who Would be Young When They Are Old Must be Old When They Are Young. The) ' must be old enough during ■oung manhood and young womanhood to beg in preparations against old manhood and old womanhood. No better preparation can possibly be made than a New York State Standard Policy taken out with the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States There are only a few sure things in this world, and one of them is that a policy taken out in a good, strong company will be paid at maturity. The great essential is to make sure that the company IS a strong one. Established in 1S59, the Equitable has grown during each succeeding year, until today the Society is recognized the world over as one of the greatest and strongest fiduciary institutions in existence. A New York State Standard Policy in the Equitable protefts your family in the event of your death, and yourself when old age arrives. .r. 1). BOUSHALL, Gehkrai, Agent, Tucker Building, Raleigh, N. C.
