EDITORIAL An Annual is a queerish book, as you vill see with just one look within the OAK LEAVES ' pages — a foolish sort of w ay it is in which to The spend the energies of all the Annual college sages. For we, the 1913 Eds, have worried much our several heads for scintil- lating ideas. But as you turn its pages scant, I fear me you ' ll not rip and rant about its brilliance, my dears. There ' s much that is the same old thing — it never seems to change a ding through- out a generation— for always there must classes be, associations, societee, for our felicitation. But then on ' maginations ' wings to sundry hits and divers things, our wits did fly awhile. With some most gently did we deal, and some, we pricked to hear them squeal and make the others sm ile. We hope that you will like this book, w hich, oddcomeshorts, by hook and crook this staff has tried to edit; and if you do, amid the darts, we hope that you will have the hearts to say so, when you ' ve read it.

Befel that in that sesoun on a nyglite In Fairelothe Ilalle, in divers garnu ' nts dyghte, Iledy to weuden ou theire pilgrimage, A classe dyd forme with fill devout corage ; Whyl at the walls the Sophomores dyd beete Ful doughty battle with theire mouthes and feete. But natheless, whyl I have tyme and space Er that I ferther in this tale ])aee, Methinketh it aeordaunt to resoun, To telle you al the eondicidtni Of chief of them, so as it seemed me, And whiche they weren, and of what degree. At President than wol I first beginne Who for a yeere should lede the yonge wouieu, ' Twas Loving that theire president was naymed, And for hir music ful she was v-favnied. y Miss Ida did they pick to lioldf tlieui straiglite, For with tlie faeultee did she liave weighte. At Kome she hadde been, aud at Boloigiie, In Galice at Seint lame, and at Coloigne. Tor Patrone Seynt they chosed Irish Pat, And aide he gave them more than a curat ; For on hys owne daye, in droghte of Marche The Fresshes greene, with kerchiefs full of starehe, Their Junior friends dyd have to conipaigvne. And entertained them ful merilye. They worked on luitil the sommer sonne Stoode over them, and theire exams, were donne. Each Freeshe hied hir then to hir owne doore, In automne wended back a Sophomore, Save seven maydes, who by the waysyde felle, Aud of them tlier is nothvnge more to telle. But thys parte of theire pilgrimage was harde. And from it tlieye departed battle-scaured. Ful manye ponye nigh to dethe theye rode. And the library was theire constante abode. Math was a thorne that pricked them ful sore, Coltonic English pricked them the more. Btit from thys warfare hadde theye a reste When prankies on the Freshe cheered theire brcste. And whan on contree jaunte dyd theye y-rj de, Ech Sophe with a Seniore by hir syde. Theye knew whan two more yeeres hadde I ' olled arounde 27 AVith al iif knowledgx ' woulde tlicye be crowned; Thot wariiie and brvghte miothor soni nicr s Sonne Would finde, theye tboghte, tbeire pilgrimage nigb donne. Anotber yeare tber folluued ful soone, Whan l)ack npon tbeire pilgrimage they goone. And as rhc ' v jonrneyod, dyd tbey sooi-nc to Inoke, Save in the open dayligbte for tbe crooke. Whan in one Senior ' s roome tbey brake tbe walle And looked in; tber was no (Jrooke at alle. Some Fressbes newe badde joyned tbe pilgrimage; Tbey watched tlieni to see that noe damage Was donne by Sophs, who locked as in a cdoistre — ' riiriic cliaunee to harme was bebl nat wurlli an oistre; And since with braine insted of brann tliey foughte, With Sophs tbeire chatmce at game of balle was nongble. But conflicts dyd nat fil quyte al tbeire dayes ; Sometymes they journeyed thrugh more plesatint wayes : Once to a contree Inne theire way did wend, AVbere theye a Senior brekfaste outen ende I lyd eat arounde a miniature hat i ' nl hyg enough to holde tbeire owne Seynte Pat! Eftsoncs to Senior state dyd tbey aspire, On wisdom ' s pathway clomb they ever higher. Of Senior rights, what tbey could doe and be, Tbey foinide tber was no superfluitce. But dire and manye were theire tribula.ciouns And trew-ely al badde tbeire significaciouus. Now one and twentye maydes — tlier were nanio — Still fertlier on towards Wisdom ' s sliryne dyd go; But whan tlieye neared tlieire last triumpliante daye- Ilir altar faire liadde faded al awaye ! Xow have I told you shortly in a clause, Thestat, tharray, the nombre, and eek the cause Why that assembled was this eompaignye Toward holv, blisful Knowledge to journey. Here endeth the storye of the pilgrimage of the one and twentye maydens to the shryne of Knowledge. Senior Class Poem The mind soars high in balmy air, And breathes in joy unmixed with care, For lo, the future promise fair Uplifts the veil. How earth ' s low moimtains topple clown As nearer draws long-sought renown ! As fades the eross, bright dreams of crown Have sweet prevail. And oh, there are dreams of Heights of Day That change stale earth ' s drear humdrum way, Since warmed in Ught the coarser clay Felt wisdom ' s hand! The clay, content to mould apart. Builds high her lordly halls of art. And bars and bans impulse of heart From her fair land. Another vision dark and slow- Moves through live joy with shade ' s of woe: In vales strive men with thoughts bound low On naught but earth. No sight of crown beyond the cro.ss. Content therewith to reap but dross, To seek no gain nor care for loss Nor future worth. Once more there gleams far nobler Heights, Where wise commune brings high delights; The Patmos passes then, and rights Of men appeal. Into the valley ' s welcome ills The mind descends from lordly hills. And in those baser hves instills Her dream ideal. The years creep on, the vision ' s hue Dimmed by the valley ' s n arrow view. Seems lost for naught, the mind as true Seeks still to win; A voice comes clear, And is it naught To hft a life? This thing you ' ve wrought Call much, for through it you have brought The Heights to men. 30 Ml!h % There is at M. C. a famed crook, For which Juniors most earnestly look. But in vain do they peep! Great tears do they weep ' Til of them is formed quite a brook. 41. i 5 ' Junior Class Colors: OM Gold and Black Flo ' er: Black-ctjcd Susan Mascot: Black Cal Officers Kate Campbell Johnson, President Katherine Knowles, Secretary Cora Tyner, Vice-President Mabel Ballentine, Treasurer LouLSE Bennett, Poet Elizabeth Anderson Mabel Ballentine Louise Bennett Eunice Benton Sallie Bullard Gwendolen English Minnie Farrior Myrtha Fleming Members A.

We ' ve borne you long and suffered mucli, The names of Fresh and all as sucli, ' Twas wrong, we know, to do us thus. But we knew better than to fuss; And now we ' ve reached that looketl for year. When from all Newish we do hear She is a Sophomore. The Freshman wonders why we ' re wise, The Junior watches with surprise. The Senior, dear, looks on with pride, And marvels at our every stride [ The wonder came and daily grew. How one such class knew all we knew. We each were proud of our wise class. And gladly heard as we did iiass, She is a Sophomore. ' Tis from this, that they all may know. That ' tis the owl that loves us so; And as to Seniorship we haste None of owe wisdom will we waste. But with it strive a class, as whole. At last to reach the Senior ' s goal, And there, the final day, to hear A new faint whisper in our ear, She was a Sophomore. 38 i tJ- ' 23!

TREASURER Officers Student Government Association % .„ A m ii fl fe % House Presidents AIjTHOUGH the Executive Committee of 1912- ' 13 has had to deal with many propo- sitions which at times we felt were far beyond our years and ability to judge, we feel that on the whole the year has been a triumph for the cause of self-government in our college. There have been some unpleasant circumstances, some severe punishments to be meted out, but we have felt the cooperation of the student body and have been strengthened by its approval in all our undertakings. For it seems to us that the girls are taking a more personal interest in the Association than ever before, and that they have an increasing faith in it as a source of discipline and justice. The signal success of the year has been the incorporation among our rights of the power of the Executive Committee to accept or reject any regulation which the Senate of the College may pass concerning the government of the student body. That the Senate, naturally a con- servative element, should grant such a power is an index of the respect which the Association has won among our Faculty. Of course our rules are broken — some one every day, most probably. But so it is with any law. What must be considered in determining the success or non-success of any system is the general tone it creates and the general attitude toward it, and in view of these things, the Student Government Association is a success. 4S . O ■ M T. 0m(B S%r (ifabiHe t 4 Se Young Women ' s Christian Association 1912-1913 The Young Women ' s Christian Association was organized in 11)01, and year by year it has been growing in opportunities. Each year opportunities for ser- vice have been given to more girls than ever before. Each committee furnishes practical training for future service. As a fuller realization of the practical, as well as spiritual, value of the Association has come, committees have been added so that more girls maj ' be used. All of the regular committees have worked faithfully and well so that the work has gone on smoothly. Both the enrollment and the systematic giving have surpassed all previous years. The Social Committee has put forth more effort to uplift the social atmosphere of the college. Heretofore our work has been largely intensive, but this year we have tried to make it more extensive, to go outside ourselves and help others. An Alumnae Committee has been added to keep in touch with those who have left our walls and make them feel that we are, indeed, interested in them. Probably the foremost feature of the year ' s work, however, l)ecause of the helpfulness to so many, was the Christmas Tree given to two hundred mill chil- dren of our city — a small gift in itself, but one that made many a child happy and at the same time gave the Association members a pleasure which will not be for- gotten soon. It was such a pleasure, in fact, that we hope to make this an annual feature of our work. And thus through our committees and personal work we have striven to make Christ real to every girl in school, realizing all the while our utter depend- ence upon Him for strength and guidance. ' ' v i si Y 4: r ' T.- . ' 4- { Volunteer Band The Student Volunteer Band of our college is a group of girls whose purpose is to become foreign missionaries, and who are preparing themselves for this form of work. For the year 1912- ' 13 the members of the Band number ten, this being the second largest number in its history. During the year we have had regular weekly meetings, in which various mi.ssion topics have been discussed. In addi- tion to these a regular study of books pertaining to missionary preparation has been pursued. Through these meetings we have not only kept in touch with the missionary activities of the day, but we feel that to each girl has come a greater vision and a deepening of her own spiritual life. Four members of the Band attended the Conference of the North Carolina Student Volunteer Union which met with the State Normal College at Greensboro, February 21-23. Here they received new inspiration and practical suggestions, by which the Band hopes to be able to do greater things in the future. CiEnTRiDE Horn.

Since that time it has endeavored to raise the standard of the work done in the societies to a higher literary plane. The membership of Sorosis is limited to thirty girls who are eligible to college classes. In this small but select group, work superior to that done by any other organization in college along literary lines is done, and Sorosis is fulfilling its mission. During the past year topics of vital current interest have been studied. Miss Jones has proved to be an ideal critic, and love and loyalty for the organization have made the hearty cooperation of officers and members result in splendid work.

And the morrow ' s dawn Would the boy call far away. With a stifled sigh And a mournful eye, Slowly went they on their way; While soft over tree and grass and flower Were the silent night-tears falling, And deep in the wood from her leafy bower, Oh, the whip-poor-will was calling. Scarce a word was said And the kindly night Hid the pain they dared not own. Then the low good-by With a misty eye. And the maid was left alone; While soft over tree and grass and flower ere the silent night-tears falling, . nd deep in the wood from her leafj ' bower Oh, the whip-poor-will was calling. So your mate was gone, Little lonely bird, Calhng sad in the silver light; But he called for you With a sad call too. Far away in the gloom of night; While soft over tree and grass and flower Were the silent night-tears falling. And deep in the wood from her leafy bower, Oh, the whip-poor-will was calling. B. L. C.

Flowers of God In the fields and gardens of God tonight, ' Tis summer, and Angels sing As they busily gather the flow ' rets bright. Near the palace of their King. Then gently they drop them one and all, From the sky to the earth below. And smile as they watch them silently fall- The little white flowers of snow. Now the dark earth lies with its dirt and sin. All hid by the purest white; While silently covering o ' er the din, Drift the snow flakes in the night. And over the great, wide earth, I know. In the paths where men have trod. Lie the silent flakes of the drifting snow — The little white flowers of God. Cupid on Toast That ' s jest one o ' your finickin ' notions, gal, you got from that everlastin ' school. But I always felt that way, Mur, and you know it. Yes, but you ' re worse ' n you used to be. I mind how you allers had quare notions about eatin ' , cause you ' r allers been puny yourself, I reckon. It ' s enough to make anybody puny to see folks devour food like that ' s all they live for. Folks has to eat to live, and men has to work, and workin ' takes eatin ' and you hain ' t no call to be complainin ' about the amount as long as you don ' t have to foot the bill. But that ain ' t excusin ' nobody for eatin ' like hogs. I hated that before I ever got my schoolin ' , but I jest accepted it as one of the charactatistics of man- kind along with their whiskers and long tongues. I know now, though, there is men that has as much manners about their eatin ' as women. Yes, and I reckon they ' re as delikit as babies too. They don ' t have no work to do, I reckon. Yes, Mur, they do; and the men down there ain ' t delikit neither. My professor was as strong as a mule, and he eat toast every morning. That ' s what makes people have so much sense. And the men down there didn ' t have such out- landish appetites; they seemed intrusted in somethin ' besides eatin ' and crammin ' . I ' ll tell you right now, Betsey, if you let a thing like that keep you from marryin ' Bill Barnes, you ' re a bigger goose than I thought. I c ' n tell you right now I ain ' t intendin ' to marry that Bill Barnes, I c ' n sorter stand him until I imagine how it would sound for him to say, ' Betsey, meat ' s about out; reckon I ' d better get some today, ' and then I ' d jest want to drop. No harm to nobody, Mur, but I shore do want a man that can talk about stars, and flowers, and love; there am ' t no poetry about bread and meat. Till I find a man that actually despises common things like food, I ' ll be Betsey Stop- ford, and you can watch out. Most wish sometimes we had never sont you to school a day. It ' s time to start supper; Bill ' ll jest about stop by with the boys, I spec ' . Betsey walked into the plain little kitchen with the light of battle in her eyes. Not that she was angry with her mother, for she felt only pity for each ' member of her benighted family, and coutemjit for Bill Barnes. She reached a sudden determination to prepare some toast for supper, and thereby decide Bill ' s fate. If he could not eat toast, he was out of the cjuestion, for she had been planning since she first knew the virtues of toast to have it every day on her sometime ttdile, in her sometime home, for her sometime husl)and. Most unhappily for Bill, however, he ditl not know that the harmless look- ing plate of burnt bread, as he interpreted it, had so important a mission, or he would never have joined in the teasing laugh that followed I Ir. Stopford ' s com- mand, to take that burnt stuff to the hounds. Somehow Bill was sorry after he had laughed and sorrier still when Betsey deliberately absented herself from his company the remainder of the evening. For Bill had never cared for any girl but Betsey. Betsey ' s feelings, however, were not hurt that her beloved toast had been ridiculed. She accepted it with calm optimism, thankful that she had found Bill out so easily. Still, she could not helj) feeling a littk ' gloomy as she thought over the situation next morning; for even Bill was better than nobody, and she had renounced him forever. So she turned for comfort to her reader, chief relic of the school life she hail known so little of and yet had loved so well. She laid the book down as she recognized her Cousin Lou coming down the road, and went to meet her. Why, hello there, Lou, where ' ve j ' ou been keepin ' yourself? Ain ' t seen you for quite a spell. Law, child, I ' ve been too busy for the last ten days to breathe good, but the worst is over, I reckon. The worst! Has anj ' body been sick? Not that. Wait till I get to that bench on your piazza, and I ' ll tell you the news. Well, about two weeks ago, Ma got a letter from .somebody that signed up as A. G. Garstron, saying as how he wanted to come up to these parts for about two months, or longer, accordin ' to how he liked the place. Said it had been recommended to him, and he hafl hearn as how Ma took in boarders. So Ma, she sot down and told him to come along and she ' d resarve a room for him as long as he choosed to stay. Well, we began to get ready for him and day before yesterday he come. What else? Law, he ' s the most intrustin ' gentleman I seen in years; tolerable young, long, lank, and pale, and big bright eyes, and he dresses mighty fine, a regular J I- € i big bug, Ma thinks, and I ' m waitin ' on him like 1 liain ' t a lodgor .sinee tiiat rich widow come clown here eight year ago with consumption. Will I ever see him? Yes, that ' s what I come for, after you. I want to know your opinion of him; you ought to be a good jedge as you ' ve been off, Lou spoke enviou.sly. Why didn ' t his wife come with him? Ma ast him that very thing, and he smiled real sad like and says, ' I have no wife. I ' m what you might call alone in the world ' ; and Ma tried to find out more but he shut up tight, all ' yes ' s ' and ' no ' s ' . Didn ' t you say .you come after me? Yes, I forgot to say what for. Ma ' s heard your Ma say .you can cook toas ' , and we ain ' t never had no dealin ' s with any, and Ma wants you to come over and fix some and learn us how. The gentleman savs he just has to have toas ' . He don ' t eat scarcely nothin ' . Raw eggs and milk I do believe is nearly all he can go. He don ' t even touch hog meat; he asked yesterday where the nearest beef market is. I bet he ' s a Jew; we had a girl down at school that was a Jew and she wouldn ' t touch pork. I don ' t know nothin ' about his family; he said hog didn ' t agree with him. I ' ll sure come, and be the gladdest in the world to fix the toast. If nothin ' happens, I ' ll be over before supper tonight. Betsey evidentl.y waited for nothing to happen, for she arrived at Lou ' s early after dinner. She saw nothing of the intrustin ' gentleman, however, till supper. She liked his looks indifferentlv well, but what she did like violently was his manner of eating. Whv, she thought, here is one man that actuall.v looks like he despises what he ' s eatin ' . I ' ll observe you again, young man, she concluded. Her observations were apparently quite satisfactory; each time he ate as if the ver.y thoughts of food disgusted him, and toast was his standby! Soon he became the strict ideal to which all future claimants for the hand of Betsey would have to measure, or, falling short of the standard, would face the inevitable no. She had begged for the privilege of preparing his toast, and in some way he found it out. Mi.ss Stopford, he said to her one day, you have no idea how much I appreciate your kindness. Your toast is always splendid. If there is anything a lonelv man can do to help you let me know. I ' ll be waiting. 95 ' . X, «k- Not iit all, not at all, Betsey sputtered, It ' s a real pleasure to cook toast. They won ' t let me at home. I ' m glad to do it. Yes, sir, it ' s a real pleasure. And your people don ' t like toast? He smiled a fumiy Httle smile, she thought. And Betsey, always impulsive, told him the story, tragedy, he called it to himself, of her life. No, sir, they are prejudiced agin toast ' cause that ' s some- thin ' I learned down at school. I went to school a year and a half, three years it ' s been now, and Pa decided I wan ' t worth spendin ' no more money on, so I come home to staj ' . I always cared more about schoolin ' than the boys, but I reckon my day ' s over. Why over? Mr. Garstron was impulsive too. I ' ve a tolerable education. Suppose I turn teacher, and you pupil for awhile, and we ' ll see what can be done later. Wouldn ' t you mind that a bit, honest now, and wouldn ' t you charge nothin ' ? Not a thing. You see I ' m indebted to you now, because you made my toast, and I ' ll pay you this way,, provided you will arrange to have your lessons over here; I don ' t walk much. If you can come over tomorrow, we ' ll begin. Nobody, of course, knew of the arrangement, and so there was considerable talk aliout the two being so much together. Many wondered how plain Betsey had managed to git him; others, among whom was Bill Barnes ' mother, blamed Mrs. Stopford for allowing Betsey to be so much with a strange gentle- man. As for Bill Barnes himself, well, Bill patiently swallowed back the lump that came in his throat when he heard Betsey ' s name coupled with Gar.stron, for Bill had never cared for any other girl but Betsey. As for Betsey, she worshipped the very air Garstron breathed, but it was worship and not love; for she realized he was as much above her as the stars. He talked about the .stars, and the flowers, and he could say beautifal things about food too, only he did not call it meat and bread. And Garstron seemed fond of the girl; she was for him, when he had the energy, a psychological study, a type entirely new to him. He was sorry for her, but could not pity the sturdy, capable girl. Betsey, I wish you could go to college some time, he said at the close of one of their lessons. How come? What do thev do there? % • 9 0, they learn how to do thinss. And there is no telling what you might do some time, you know. Well, I ' d like to know lots, but maybe ' twan ' t intended for me to know much. Seems like you ought to be the happiest person in the world, though. Why does it seem so? Because you know so much. Ah, child, there are some things that are worth more than knowledge and wealth combined. That one thing is denied me, and I am never happy. Most often I am miserable. She left him, wondering. What could make him miserable was more than she could fathom. If it was not love, the mystery was indeed beyond her. And she went to sleep trying to decide whether or not to tell him she loved him; not as she might love Bill Barnes if he cared for toast, to be sure, but as the nicest man she had ever known and the man she wanted her husband to be like. All night, however, her sleep was troubled; Garstron seemed to be pursuing her, and turn which way she would, he tried to choke her with toast. She went to her lesson next morning, as usual, but Lou met her at the door with a whispered caution, Be easy, he ' s restin ' some better now. Who? What? How come? Law, child, I thought that he would be a dead man before now. He mighty nigh passed out last night. What in the world? He wan ' t sick yesterday. Yes, but he was more than sick last night, and ain ' t well yet by no means. I ' m goin ' in to see him then, and before Lou could remonstrate Betsey walked swiftly into Garstron ' s room. But she was frightened by the pale face now contorted by pain. Well, child, you didn ' t expect this, did you? No, sir, what did you do it for? And so you blame me too. You remember I told you yesterday I was miserable because the one thing I value most is denied me. That thing is health, and he coughed so violently that Betsey was alarmed. I ' m a consumptive, and consequently have given up many things that I like. My physician gave me suggestions as to food that would act harmoniously with both consumption and acute indigestion that I ' ve had since a boy. I ' ve been so conscientious that I have excluded, partly through my will and partly through necessity, some food 97 r- Cp he saitl would not hurt me. It is a mistake; I have only weakened actuallj- from want of food. And last night, he paused for breath, last night my appetite mastered me, and I became again the slave. I gave up the struggle, and came prettj ' near gomg out ; acute indigestion does not work well vaXh weak lungs, j ou know. But that one meal was worth death and hereafter. Now I ' ve decided to go back home, to the valley air, renounce toast forevermore, eat what and as much as I please, and take the consequences even though I know it will have to be as the doctors saj Tell me though, child, what you want more than an3i;hing you can think of. You ' ve given me lots of pleasure and have taken my mind off myself. I ' d like to do something handsome for you. Would you like to go back to school? Betsey was doing some rapid thinking. No, sir, I believe not. I ' ll leave my books for you, then. Why, I don ' t know as I ' ll have much time for reading after this. I can ' t read much. But I am rich; let me at least pay you for your services. I am indebted to you deeply. We ' ve got enough, I reckon, much obliged, to buy us meat and bread. W ell, you ' ve got to take my address. You may relent or something may happen. In either case, don ' t hesitate to call on me. Perhaps I myself will not be able to answer always, but I ' ll fix everything right, Betsey, please — But Betsey was gone. Betsey ' s mother was surprised beyond believing her eyes when Bill Barnes came in after supper that night, surprised most of all because Betsey did not seem surprised or displeased in the least. Men is men the world over, and I reckon Bill ain ' t no heartier than the rest, she explained to the question in her mother ' s ej ' es. •V J — •ci.J - J) r S I JOSHUANA Lemuella Lemuel Elmer McMillan Freeman A.B., A.M., B.D., Th.D., Jr. .-- ' Wf The Beggar ' s Dream Castle Ah, there it is again, My castle that I builded wlien a lad; It vanished — faded long, long years ago. I thought I nevermore should see its glow. I ' m dying now, you say? My mind ' s no good? Wandering? Nay, I ' m but taking my departure For my long-lost palace yonder in those hills. Those western hills, where gleams my castle, crimson, gold, Oh, yes, ' tis somewhat changed — In olden times ' twas near the sunrise When the first faint beams lit p the eastern hills And cast long piu ' ple shadows in the vales. It was a rainbow dream, my castle, ' Mid its mountains of pure gold. Poised on the misty rays of rising sun; Pure as the flakes of silent, drifting snow And light as snowflakes too. Morn after morn the mystic summer through I gazed upon my palace in the sky, Beheld and wondered, longing there to fly, And saw it melt into the glowing east. Thus passed my youth, and summer ' s soft blue sky Was overcast with cold and cheerless gray. Harsh winds swept o ' er the world so warm and bright, And in the dreary night they drove my castle Far, far out of sight into the yesterdays. (The room grows dark, throw ope ' the shutters there) I saw it nevermore imtil today, Though long I searched antl wandered o ' er the earth. Always the cold, bleak winds blew over me. And ever has the sky been cheerless — gi ay. But now! Ah, now it glows in yonder west! Drifts lightly in a world of liquid blue — Those downy hilLs of yellow, molten gold All silver tinted, pm-ple, green and red. My towering castle overlooks it all — Majestic sits upon the highe.st peak — Its walls are made of coimtless precious stones And glisten in the last rays of the sim. ' Tis fairer far than in my boyhood day Yet very like it was. Well, well, I ' m going now. It ' s drawing nearer, open wide the door — Throw ope ' the windows — Hail! my long lost dream! B. C. ' 13. blue. a - -H m-. ' ? tJ . m Uncle John ' s Account of the Recital O O D morning, returned from John ' s friends, you were away? Uncle John ; I hear you ' ve just Raleigh, exclaimed one of Uncle Did you have a good time while Well now, don ' t ax me if I had a good time, answered Uncle John. I was kep ' so busy dashin ' ' round to so many places that it was all I could do to keep my balance, much less to think whether I wa.s enjoyin ' myself or not. I ' ve been thinkin ' ever since I come back of a thing they called a recital that I went to while I was there, give by one of the Senior graduates in Music at the Meredith College. It warn ' t like anything you ever seen, my boj ' . It beat anything I ever seen before in my whole life. Tell me about it, said his friend. Uncle John seated himself in his chair as if about to undertake a painful task and began. I had heard that there was good music players there, an ' bein ' fond o ' good music, I says to myself, ' John Simpkins, now ' s your chance to hear some o ' the best, ' so I decided right then and there, on the spot, to go. I went up there the next evenin ' about five o ' clock, as that was the time they said the affair was goin ' to be. When I got to the door, a young gal all dressed up met me an ' axed me where I wanted to set. I told her I warn ' t in no ways partic ' lar, as I had never been a man that was hard to suit, so she took me right down through that long aisle between all them rows o ' fine folks an ' give me a seat on the row next to the very front. Then she handed me a piece o ' paper with the names of all the pieces that was goin ' to be played printed on one side of it. Thej might a ' been Greek for all I could make out of ' em. I ' m sure ' twan ' t English, for I ain ' t never seen no English words that looked like them, an ' I ' ve seen pretty nigh all of ' em. I kep ' puzzlin ' over ' em for some time when all at once ever ' body in that house commenced to slap their hands together an ' stomp their 101 feet on the floor like a reg ' lar stampede was comin ' . I didn ' t know what on earth they meant, so I got up an ' turned ' round to see if I coukl see anything to be causin ' sich a disturbance. Al)0ut half way do ii the aisle I saw a young gal that looked like she was about ninete( n or twenty year old come trijipin ' along, smilin ' from ear to ear. Another gal was walkin along with her, an ' a man wuz follerin ' ' long behind. I says to myself, ' Sho ' ly that can ' t be the iiianer player. The idear of as young a thing as her givin ' a big recital right by herself. ' But it was her, sure enough. They all went up on the stage, an ' the people slapjied anil stom]3ed worse ' n they did wlien she come in. I set right still in my seat, ami I didn ' t think it was dignified to be carryin ' on like a passel of young chillun. The gal V)owed an ' smiled again, an ' looked like she was mightily pleased ov( r the way they was actin ' . When she set down to the jjianer, ever ' body hushed an ' ever ' thing was as silent as the grave. Then she began to play, an ' man alive! I hope I will never have to contend with such doin ' s any more as long as I live. My gal Sue can beat her all to pieces, an ' she ain ' t lieeu takin ' music but two year. I wish you could ' a seen her hands dance over them keys. One would go up to one end as hard as it could fly, an ' t ' other do ni to the other end. Then they would run together again an ' ' pear to run races up an ' down, an ' roim ' an ' ' roun. ' Sometime one would catch up with the other, jump over an go scootin ' down to the other end o ' the line as hard as it could. It looked sometime like the very lightnin ' itself was goin ' to flash out o ' that planer.

Careful of lier Voice Elia, wears her oversh oes But Bessie gave them castor oil, So that their nerve would never si)oil, And they marched again on the great highway With Bessie ahead of the noble array. The sunshine was gone from each little brow, And now to act they knew not how. The tears kept coming thick and fast, And they shivered like ' twas a wintry blast, Then all at once they tumbled o ' er, For there in the road was a .Sophomore. The Freshies screamed, but along came fate, Whose name, my dears, is only Kate. She picked up Bess, the chief, in hand. And led back home the frightened band. And now the Fresh are gay as before Except when they see a bold Sophomore. RoxiE the Cook Irene, Plain Freshie 1 v% t The Choice Who, where the three ways meet, has seen Lore wandering?

A-down which road gazed Love as he was pondering? The narrow path that never turns aside To linger for delight in outlook wide, Where for a weaiy traveler none will bide But hastens to the goal of his own interest? Who, where the three imys meet, has seen Love wandering? Chose he this other drear, forbidding way, Forever upward, barren, cruel, gray. Where stone and thorn woidd work a weary stay?

Browning, too, would have found in Miss Ida a character with ready- made dramatic monologues, for her choppy sentences would have required but slight transposing in his mind in order to be turned into poetry of his most ap- proved style. Merely arrange a rhyme here and there, and see the result: That your last study hanging on the wall? Looks rather labored, don ' t you think? I call That sky a tritle bhie: the oak tree stands As if not firmly rooted there. Stand back a bit and look at it. As I say The sky is blue, too blue. Use red you may So that it will the look of warmth enhance. You see that ' s better at a single glance. That distant, haze of fai- off blue, I think it ' s rather nice, don ' t you? Correct what I have pointed out today And I ' ll come again before I go away. And what would have been more appropriate, in the eternal fitness of things than for Byron, the great satirist of the nineteenth century, to have immortal- ized the greatest satu-ist of the twentieth century in another stanza to Don Juan, a la Colton: Meredith! You ' re a college, Southern College, But not, thank heaven, a representative — Due to my influence and standaixl-raising knowledge — Of those liominal absurdities. You ' re a tentative Aijplicant for membership in that Southern A.ssociation of Colleges and Preparatory Schools. I long have been that Association ' s Secretary. To my eye Par ( fularly able; no other need apply. Tennyson might have found inspiration for another song in the style of the Brook, had he come under the beneficent influence of our oldest teacher: I come from sunny Tennessee, Far eastward have I journeyed; Im Vati ' iinnil 1 settled me: In Deutsch I grew most leai ' ned. By many schools I lightly passed I slipped by many a college, For when grown up, I chose at last To teach to girls some knowledge. Then Mer ' dith College walls arose And I shall leave them never; Tho ' teacher after teacher goes. Still I stay on forever. - 109 a ' % m Monday Morning An angry snort, a confused miirmer, a minnhling growl, and Betty threw off the cover with a chattering shiver and a witliering glance up at the sad looking, tearful sun just visible over the top of East Building. One shoe was not quite buttoned before a cloud hid even the a])ology for a sun that was showing. There, I knew it! with a despairing wail. Midge, did .vou ever know me to plan anything that came true? And I haven ' t had a chance to go to Dress Parade before, this year. Get up, we ' ve got a lot to ilo this morning. Oh, slush! there goes another button! With a final jerk Betty stood up and gazed over at the sleeping Midge. Woman, first breakfast bell has rung, she cried, giving her a shake. Well, I don ' t care. Isn ' t it Monday? came a muffled voice. Betty glanced comin-ehensively around tiic room. Tli ' disorder was truly appalling. Midge does U)ok .so comfortable, mused Betty, thoughtfully unbutton- ing her shoes. Oh, well, who cares? It ' s Monday, she said philosophically, crawling back into bed and pulling the covers up closely under her chin. I haven ' t but three lessons tomorrow, anyhow, she defended her.self slee])ily. L.

Senior Recommendations To whom it may concern : It gives me pleasure to send from Georgia tliis rccommenclation for ] Iiss Bernice Kelly to teach Mathematics. She is eminently fitted, both by training and natural endowment, to give instruction in Geometry, Algebra, and Trigo- nometry in any high school or college. Miss Kelly is nothing short of a prodigj ' . For confirmation of this statement see her grades in the Dean ' s register for the years 1910- ' ll, 1911- ' 12. Larkin Douglas Watson, Jr. 1 count it a rare privilege to recommend to any antl all the concert managers of America, Miss Linda Newton, as a finished soloist. Miss Newton ' s voice is a high soprano of the purest type, -and possesses wonderful range and flexibility. You would do well to engage her. Helen JNIarie D. y. I can perform no better service for the high schools of North Carolina than to commend to them Miss Bertha Carrol! as a young lady whom I confidently expect to become an extraordinary teacher of the difficult and neglected art, Spelling. She has shown unusual proficiency in it in her composition work, and I feel sure that she will do me credit along this line, wherever she may go. Elizabeth Avery Colton. It is a happy liour for me when I present one of my young disciples, Miss Mary Steele, to the farm life schools of North Carolina, to aitl them in their great work of rescuing our rural population. Miss Steele ' s specialty is Domestic Science, and it gives me great pleasure to recommend her as a teacher of that subject.

These young ladies were called up for general misdemeanors, and appeared in person to state their own side of the question, as it is the custom of the committee to have them do. The first case considered was that of Susan Smith, who had been disturbing the peace of her neighborhood by laughing after light bell. The following cross- examination was given her by the President : Pres. : Miss Smith, did you not know that it is against our rules for one to laugh after light bell? Miss S. : Yes, but— Pres. : Did you not go directly against this rule and laugh heartily for a few minutes on last Wednesday night at 10:35 o ' clock? Miss S. : Yes, I guess I did, but— Pres. : Did you not know that you woukl be heanl by all on your hall, including the proctor? Miss S. : I didn ' t have time to think. Pres. : You ilid not have time to think, Mi.ss Smith? Well, I very much fear that that is not a valid excuse for such an outbreaking offense. Can you give the committee a better one? Mi.ss S. [t,obbing) : I don ' t see how anybody can keep from laughing when somebody tells a good joke. After discussing the question on all sides, the committee decided that if Miss Smith was seen with a more amused exjjression on her face than a faint smile for one week, she should be campussed for a month. Miss Julia Jones was called upon next to give her reasons for wearing her sleeves one inch above regulation height, and not wearing a dickey with her blouse. Pres. : Have you read the handbook carefully, ] Iiss Jones? Miss J. ; I heard it read, but I ilon ' t remember anything about dickies being in it. Pres. : Please reread College Regulation No. 28 when you go to your room. Do you realize thnt the committee has had a great deal of trou))Ie about this very thing of keeping the students properly clothed? Miss J. : I hadn ' t thought of it. Pres. : Did you not go to the Infirmary for sore throat just two days after you did this indiscreet thing? Miss J. : Yes, but I had just been to a ball game the night before, and yelled myself hoarse. Pres. : But do you not see that this exercise of your vocal organs at the game may have only aggravated an already sore throat? Miss J. : That may be so, but I hadn ' t noticed its Ijeing sore. Pees. : That is not for us to say, Miss Jones, but you must be aware that dire consequences might have been the result of the absence of that dickey and the shortness of those sleeves. Are you not aware of this? Miss J. : Maybe so. Pres. : Do you now realize that you did wrong in disregarding the rules, notwithstanding j ' our own personal opinion? Miss J. : Yes. Pres. : You may go, if you have nothing further to say. The committee thought best, since the weather had been unusually warm recently, and there was a strong temptation to go dickeyless, and since Miss Jones had never Ijeen called up before, that her privileges should be taken from her for the following week. It was afterward remembered that ] Iiss Jones was already off the honor roll for a month, Ijut this thought was too late in coming. After a half hour ' s discussion of the Senate and its dealings with the Asso- ciation, the committee adjourned for tlinncr. H. Herring, President. K. Johnson, Secretary. ■ « % The RA. T.y The F. A.
