For over thirty- three YEARS SHE WAS INSTRUCTOR IN THIS COLLEGE IN Mathematics and Astronomy. She died May Twenty- Seventh, Eighteen Hundred and Ninety-Nine, loved AND REGRETTED BY FACULTY AND STUDENTS. RACE STEVENS CLARK died January Fourth, Nineteen Hundred. She was a loyal member of the Junior Class and an editor of the Llamarada. To these she gave her heart’s interest, AND SUCH INVALUABLE SUPPORT THAT WE FEEL OUR LOSS TO BE IRREPARABLE. IT is of the greatest importance to keep tabs on the graduate students and members of the Senior Class, — otherwise they would feel at perfect liberty to commit matrimony or any similar offense, secure in the thought that they would not be detected. For that reason lists have been most care- fully and accurately prepared, which will enable all interested people to communicate directly with the above mentioned individuals. In contrast to the spirit of scintillating witticism pervading the rest of this book, these lists may seem rather heavy reading, but we feel sure that in the end The Board will receive praise and thanks for having thus instituted an entirely new department. If any one ever has any communication to make with Olive Sawyer Hoyt, Bachelor of Science, she may be found in Augusta, Maine. Augusta is a small place and Miss Hoyt is well known. Susan Brown Leiter, Bachelor of Arts is a prominent citizen of East Clarence, N. Y. Octavia Whiting Mathews, B. A., of Auburndale, Mass., and Alice Robinson, B. A., of New Castle, Maine. In quantity, we have but these four graduate students, but oh—the quality ! Arlington, Mass., surely accomplished a great feat in sending to us Angeline Peck Adams, 2©X-------, without whose careful management the Glee Banjo and Mandolin Clubs would be known to the world as Referring, of course, to the Llamarada Board of 1901. 12 The Llamarada a mass of disorganized discords. She likewise runs the Senior Class, under the inadequate title of vice- president. What more fitting than for Angeline to live at 74 Pleasant street, Arlington, Mass. Louise Allyn, may be found at 247 High street, Bristol, Conn. Bessie Brigham Armington, 'k 12, at Elm Lawn, Dorchester, Mass. Bessie by the way, is a powerful member of the executive committee of the Y. W. C. A. Ruth Stewart Arnold, Q, lives at 16S3 Cam- bridge street, Cambridge, Mass., is literary, and a member of the Athletic Association. Margaret Elizabeth Ball, H I A, has more mail than any one else in Passaic, N. J. A special post- man has been hired by the town to carry mail to 84 Aycrigg Avenue. Such is the amount of material sent to the Editor-in-chief of the Mount Holyoke ! With her mighty guitar, Margaret has supported the Banjo Club for four years, with her mighty efforts has she aided the Debating Society and the Executive Committee of the League. Ethel Hannah Bardwell, is a member of the Debating Society. That looks like an ordinary statement, — but in Ethel’s case it means much. It means that she heeded not the advice of her friends, sent from 70 Federal street, Greenfield, Mass., nor her own desires, but joined the debaters to prove to the world that she can get 85. Grace Eldridge Beach is noted on account of the unusual qualities of her tongue. Grace can and does 13 Volume VI talk more and faster than any one in College ; she does not always require a theme, either, but can always find one. One of her favorites is ‘70 Ilowe street, New Haven, Conn.’; another is Minnie; they are close rivals. Alice Emeline Belcher does what might be called a heavy think i?ig part in the drama of life. There are just four places where she uses her voice. (1) 18 Townsend street, Pepperell, Mass.; (2) In the Debating Society, (rarely) ; (3) at Choral Club, and (4) in Class (frequently). Essie Winning Boyd, is another,— but she is under treatment for it at Martin’s Ferry, Ohio. Mary Alice Bradford, along with other College honors, was for a long time secretary and treasurer of the Baked Bean Club. It has not made her proud, however, and when she returns to 415 Silver street, Dorchester, Mass., her friends will probably find her unchanged. Susan Mary Bradley, k ft, was one of the Edi- tors of 1900’s Llamarada,— but that has undoubtedly been sufficiently published. Susan lives at Berry street, Roslindale, Mass. Alice Seymour Browne, 'k ft, of 159 Woodland Road, Auburndale, Mass., will be found below, probably in the missionary list. Mabel Augusta Canada, although not to be found there, can be tracked to many other places. In vacations, ‘ Can ’ haunts 710 Chapel street, New Haven, Conn. During the College year she may be found almost anywhere, at almost any time. What- 14 The Llamarada ever ‘ Can does, she does very thoroughly ; — be it to jolly the Faculty, sustain the conversation at table, write treatises for the perusal of government officials or ‘talk about me.’ Although of exceeding tender years, Canada is a marvel in her line. Florence Edna Chamberlain is another marvel, — although in quite another line, 72 State street, Springfield, Mass., bears a plate with a single inscription “ Here was born Florence Edna Cham- berlain, a member of the Mount Holyoke Debating Society.” Florence talks of going abroad for the next two years for the purpose of polishing one of her sentences in the mines of Siberia. Jean Dean Cole who emerged from 8 Ten Broeck street, Albany, N. Y., to become vice-presi- dent of the To fxlv chapter, of the Debating Society, was once told gently that her brain worked slowly. If Jean didn’t enjoy it so much as a joke, the College would be less ready to recognize the grain of truth it contains. The parents of Agnes Louise Collins, 2 ® X, secured for their child an instructor on the banjo, who through daily training at 17 Hillside avenue, Amesbury, Mass., fitted Agnes for leader of the Banjo Club 98-’99. Minnie Wurth Crane, who was borne in the interests of education, from the wild western life of 801 Park street, Omaha,Neb., was an ingenious suc- cess as vice-president of her class, ’98-’99, and a dis- ciple of the Reconstructive policy as President of the To jlcv chapter of the Debating Society. Volume VI 15 One hundred and sixteen Atlantic street, Jersey City, N. J., sent East, Clintie Delafied Curtis, early known as P. G. Curtis. With application Clintie will make a business success as a drummer. She will find her name clearly printed in the list of the Debat- ing Society. It took “ corner Court and State streets, Castine, Maine,” to evolve Miss Pauline Faye Devereux for the Debating Society. Pauline is a descendent from Lord Devereux and is the belted daughter of a hun- dred Earls. Ida Marion Dougherty, H I A, broke through the underbrush of Fairport, N. Y., and hastened to what seemed to her the metropolis of South Hadley. She had heard that at Mount Holyoke real talent and true worth are justly appreciated. Ida has had some disappointment in this line, but is not yet discour- aged, and means to try her genius next year on enlightened New York. Helen Douglas, was carried to her home 410 Wayne street, from the railroad wreck which occur- red several years ago Peoria, 111. Helen never grew, to her natural size in consequence, although by rea- son of a most unique mental development, she was admitted to the Debating Soceity. Isabel Rich Drew, 2 0 X, took the train for Hol- yoke from the Mosaic town of Sharon, Mass. The Presidency of the class of ’99, 97-98, made a recu- perative trip to Hawaii necessary. However, she felt no desire to establish a mission station there, and returned to us to fulfill her duties in the Debating Society. i6 The Llamarada Franklin, Mass., claims in conjunction with six other towns to have been the birth place of Elizabeth Meredith Dunning. The family of Winifred Luella Fairbanks pre- pared their child for College at 166 Chestnut street, Gardner, Mass. Alice Carey Field, sometimes known by the tender name of “ Bug,” firmly decided at her home 39 Richards street, Worcester, Mass., to favor Hol- yoke as the successful candidate among the compet- ing Colleges. Holyoke will never regret the effort she made. There is a report that Frances Richmond Foster, 'I' Q, seriously injured her vocal organs by attempting to speak the day she was born, at Hingham, Mass. Her disappointment at that time was so great that it prejudiced her against ever repeating the experiment. The only exception on record is believed to be the occasion of seconding a motion in the Debating Society, during March of this year. Marion Foster is as different from Frances as 316 Central street, Auburndale, Mass., is from Hing- ham. Gertrude Elizabeth Gaylord has never seen fit to leave her native hearth in South Hadley, Mass. Nineteen, Elm street, Rockville, Conn., was a scene of profound significance when the Gilnacks named their infant daughter Lilia Eliza. Myrabel Josephine Gould tried Wellesley Col- lege as an experiment her Freshman year, but the experience turned her gleeful steps towards Holyoke. Volume VI 7 Myrabel came from 51 High street, Greenfield, Mass. Minnie Almira Graham, who spends her vaca- tions at 355 Market street, in the little town of Lock- port, N. Y., has distinguished her family by her diplomatic finesse as chairman of the senior photo- graphy committee. Walpole is the Homeric name of the village in Massachusetts, which reared Eleanor Wilmot Guild. Eleanor’s bon mots will be handed down for a gen- eration. Harriet Louise Hale had nothing to do with naming her birthplace, Ottumwa, Iowa. Otherwise she would not have been allowed to remain on the Glee Club for the past two years. Grace Twemlow Hammond, Editor of Llama- rada, ’9S- 99, resides on the flats at Fishkill-on-Hud- son, N. Y. Grace Adeline Howe appears so constantly with Winifred Fairbanks that she has probably often invited Winifred to spend the summer with her at 291 Chestnut street, Gardner, Mass. We met Verena Huntress with her guitar one day last winter, and she told us most impressively that she belonged to the Debating Society. Her room-mate says she was born at 20 Woodside avenue, Amherst, Mass., and has been eagerly negotiating with President Harris for an annex. Some one has seen Helen Jackson of Andover, Mass., playing on the Mandolin Club. Cornelia Emma Juliand expects her parents to i8 The Llamarada come away out from Greene, N. V., to see her grad- uate. Helen Idella Kendall, E 5 A, comes from the same town which produced Eleanor Guild. Helen was the Assistant Business manager of the Llama- rada, ’98-’99, and often remarks how delighted she is that her mother was a Plympton of Plymptonville. Monogram paper hearing the pastoral inscription Upper Albon, 111., has been found. It is said to belong to Mary Katherine Kendrick. Eleanor Rosannah Kimball, 3 © X, has been for two years on the Glee Club and was an editor of the Llamarada, S- . She comes from Worcester, Mass. Twenty-five Pierce street, Hyde Park, Mass., was the birthplace of that editor of the Llamarada, ’9S-’99, called the athletic May Rogers Lane. May’s coat-of-arms consists of a basket-ball rampant with golf links regardant. Eleanor Jennings Long, is naturally an ardent supporter of La Fayette College, where she has lived since her girlhood at 41 South Second street, Easton, Pa. Mabel Edna Masters of 125 North Main street. Springtield, Mass., has played for two years on the Banjo Club and has this year added the Mandolin Club to her list of memberships. It cost Merrimac, Mass., a bitter struggle to relinquish Lillian Brown McConnell to our watchful care. Seven Pleasant street, Rockville, Conn., derived Volume VI 19 its name from the happy little ways of Emma Jane McLean, E4 A. Harriet Phoebe McPherson, comes from the same town and has testified to the veracity of the above statement. Belle Louise Mead of Greenwich, Conn., was editor of the Llamarada, ’9S-’99, and is President of the Students League, ’99-’oo. But for that slight prefix Belle would have been her room-mate, Louise Mead. Louise also comes from Greenwich, Conn., was Editor-in-Chief of the Llamarada, ’98-’99, and is President of the Senior Class, ’99-’oo. New Milford, Conn., is the enviable town which reared Grace Hollister Mervvin. Her sister says they are both on the Debating Society. A reporter was sent to interview Bertha Miles Meserve, but he says that Bertha is very reserved and positively refused to give him any additional data except the fact that she lives at 87 Linden street, Allston, Mass. His interview with Emily Mulford Miller, E t A, however, was more satisfactory, as Miss Mil- ler seemed glad to talk very freely with him. She says she was born in the little suburb of Floral Park, N. Y., and was president of her class, Gardiner, Maine., has relinquished fora time its Pearl, Sara Elizabeth Moore. Who would have thought that such a small place as Gill, Mass., could have produced Katherine Sophia Moore? We are all favorably impressed by Helen Flor- ence Newton, and would like to visit her in body, at her home in Woodbridge, Conn. 20 The Llamarada Elizabeth Theresa Nims of Washington street, Leominster, Mass., rooms with Eleanor Guild. When Beth leaves college it will be our loss if not her gain. Forty-one Main street, Foxcroft, Maine, con- tains the proud family of Ethel Clark Ober, E I A. If you want to hear an eloquent boast on the Queen call on either Tommy Atkins, or Kate Eliza- beth Patterson. Kate has written to her parents at 144 Drummond street, Montreal, Canada, that she was vice-president of ’99 in ’96-’97, is an editor of the Mount Holyoke, and plays on the Mandolin Club. Estelle Potter, of Applecroft, Worcester, Mass., was president of her class, ’96-’97, and is a member of the Debating Society. Amy Sarah Roberts is so disappointed that Dartmouth has never conveniently become co-ed that she seldom speaks of her native town, Hanover, N. H. Mary Louisa Robinson, S 3 A, of Vienna, Vir- ginia, spends her leisure hours in the careful educa- tion of Rag, the beautiful mascot of the Glee Club in which Lonie sings. Anna Hendricks Rodgers, 'I' 12, says she was Assistant Business Manager of the Mount Holyoke ’97-’98, and Business Manager, 98-’99. She added that she came from 76 Livingston avenue, Albany, N. Y. Faith Sanborn of Woodstock, Conn., is con- stantly over-taxing her energy with the impassioned addresses she makes in the Debating Society. Volume VI 21 We feel repaid for sending our reporter to Florence Gertrude Sargent, 2 © X . Florence seemed to be very much impressed by our attention and eagerly replied to our inquiries regarding birthplace, etc. We find that Florence is on the Debating Soci- ety and was Business Manager of the Llamarada, ’gS-’qq. She says that any who are interested in further praticulars will receive prompt replies from 38 Grove street, Putnam, Conn. Bertha Maria Schlotzer says that Gowanda, N. Y., is the dearest spot on earth to her, a surprising coincidence with the remark of Laura Elizabeth Smith, about 10 Lowell street, Worcester, Mass. If Tirzah Snell Smith, now safe at 193 Main street, Easthampton, Mass., betrays any evidences of uncertainty in thought or action, it must be remem- bered that Tirzah was reared amid the terrors of the scorpions, the devil fish and the leopard. It is said that Marion Storrs, has in her room a most delightful and instructive collection of moss from Mansfield Center, Conn. The Glee Club program is sure to contain the name of Adelaide Estelle Sweetser. There is a report that her family’s dwelling is somewhere on Main street, Merrimac, Mass. Sarah Pearl Taber knows how many times the car wheels go round between South Hadley and Hol- yoke. See page 24. 22 The Llamarada Winnifred Ross Teel, Kennebunkport, Maine, received the following lines: “ There was a young lady named Teel Whose head was enringed by a wheel. She will go to the Fair So Ferris won’t dare, For the crowd will all cry, give us Teel! Edith Olive Turner of Coventry, Conn., thinks that no classes will be graduated after 1900. Verdoy, N. Y., is the little hamlet which sent Edith Sutliffe Wade to join the Debating Society. What will become of that pride of our hearts, the Mandolin Club, when the hand of Bertha Belle Waite, 2 © X, twangs the strings at her last college concert? We will add in a choking voice that it is Adams, N. Y., which will reclaim her. An enthusiastic convention was held by neigh- boring towns in Masson, Mass., where it was finally decided that a resident of that city, Grace Ethel Web- ber, would adequately represent the federation at Mount Holyoke. The residents of 12S Franklin street, Westfield, Mass., watched with weeping eyes Maud Eleanor Webster leave her native burgh for Ilolyoke. They became reconciled when Maud joined the Debating Society. Marie Wolcott Welles, has had a busy life since leaving 27 Cedar street, Taunton, Mass. She has played on the Banjo Club, b-’oo, was president of her class, S- , and president of the Y. W. C. A., ’99-’00. Volume VI 23 Elizabeth Williams, 'I' 12, affirms that she came from 216 Cedar street, Corning, N. Y. Elizabeth is well worth our interest and we intend to look into the matter. Eva Cecilia Woodwell is too small a girl to live at 1639 Park street, N. W., Washington, D. C. Nothing has saved Nineteen Hundred from immortal Fame, but the Loss of a few brilliant Stars from their “sparkling Coronal.” These are the lost Stars:—Etta S. Alderman, Dora Allen, Mary A. Bailey, Abbie Cogswell Barker, Eva R. Barton, Katherine Davis, Marinda Polly Davis, Harriet H. Dodge, Lil- lian R. Edmonds, Helen Evans, Nan J. Evans, Elizabeth L. Fenton, Jessie Leota Har- rington, Edith Stone Haskell, Helen Augusta Ilazen, Charlotte Hunt, Susie May Jordan, Irah L. Kenny, Bessie B.Ketcham, Jennie Louise Knight, Julia R. Mandeville, Mary B. Mudge, Julia Frances Murdock, Ola M. Northrop, Eleanor T. Oliver, Sylvia B. Parsons, Mabelle J. Perry, Bertha M. Pinney, Maria B. Prescott, Larinia S. Rose, Myra Smard, Alice M. Stewart, Emma Louise Tux- kury, Mary H. Wadhams, Edith Welles Warner, Helen C. Wood. 24 The Llamarada Florence Sargent sat in her ultra-neat room engaged in studying. It is characteristic of Florence that her room should be ultra neat, and that she should be thus engaged. A gentle knock came at the door and the bell-girl entered. “A gentleman awaits you below,” she an- nounced. “Who?” queried Florence. “He sent no card,” replied the girl. At this Florence was annoyed,— which likewise was characteristic of her. However, she carefully changed her skirt, took a clean handkerchief, fixed her hair; and finally after much deliberation she took her second best smile from the second drawer. She was very certain that any one who merited a first best smile would have sent up a card. This was extremely characteristic of Florence. She then descended the stairway, paused to adjust the smile and her best walk (also characteris- tic), and stepped daintily (very characteristic) for- ward. “I say!” shouted Harold Duncan, “ Doncher want ter buy some Sweet Home Soap and get a prize bedstead ?” And Florence bought the soap, which was the most characteristic thing she had done yet. Volume VI 25 A DRAMA Scene.— Basement of Wilder Hall. Bible Class in Operation. Professor. Miss Curtis, to what class of liter- ature do you consider that the book of Job belongs? Miss C. (in decided tones). I think the book contains a great teaching. It has been called a drama, but I do not think it is. Pm sure we shouldn’t want to sit through a representation of it on the stage. I consider it, therefore, as a didactic poem. [Class assumes an aspect of deep thought.] Professor. Miss Dougherty, what is your opinion ? Miss D. Well, I think, in fact, I had not thought of anything of the sort. But I think — well I entirely agree with Miss Curtis. [This brilliant statement wakes the class.] Professor. Miss Smith, have you any other suggestions to offer ? Miss T. S. (with alacrity). I think the book is a drama. It has the stage setting of a drama, and then there is so much rhapsody in it. This rhapsody is seen throughout the book ; for instance, when the Lord speaks through the storm ; and (breathlessly) there is also much action, not so much, perhaps, where the servants keep coming and speaking to Job, as where they all sit still and listen. Volume VI 27 'V. V r 0 HAT a page have you now met! How- ever desultory has been your previous perusal of this work, think not that it can thus continue. Even The Board, blast , worn thin in the service, seldom able to indulge in even a show of interest, have, at every read- ing of this portion of the work, laid aside their care-worn expressions, unfolded their weary hands, removed the glaze from their dull eyes, and carefully prepared for that novel sensation — ethusiasm. Seldom if ever has matter of so great interest been presented in such bulk to the world at large. This, however, is only one of the thousand advantages of the 1901 Llamarada, over all others, so we need not dwell at any length on the peculiar privilege offered you. Suffice it to say that you are about to read the annals of the Juniors. The honorary members of 1901 are most worth- ily and aptly chosen, being Frances S. Smith, A.B., a noted Smithite, Marguerite Sweet, Ph.D., of Vas- sar, Bryn Mawr and Mount Holyoke, Anna S. Thatcher, B.L., of Wilder fame, Louise Wallace, A. B., noted biologist and frequenter of Wood’s Hole, and William C. Hammond, A Man. Margaret Fleming Aitken has immortalized her name by her adequate fulfillment of the office of 28 The Llamarada sergeant-at-arms in Margaret comes from Woodstock, Vermont. Rose Alden, 'I' f2, resident of 419 Center street, Orange, N. J., need have no further recommendation than that she belongs to the Llamarada Board. Eva Blossom Ammidown of 4341 Washington street, Roslindale, Boston, is athletic and debate� . Lena Elizabeth Annis has connected with her so many important facts that we feel constrained to give them in list form. (1) 20 Pine street, St. Johnsbury, Vermont; (2) vice-president of Y. W. C. A., for 1S99-1900; (3) Debating Society; (4) Secretary of 1901 for ; (5) Chairman of Class Prayermeeting Committee for ’98-’99; (6) member of Glee Club from ’97-1900; (7) Choral Club ’99-1900; (8) president of the Y. W. C. A., for 1900-1901. Florence Evelyn Babbit is immortalized below. We need only say here that she plays the banjo and lives at 16 Bishop street, St. Albans, Vermont. Grace Mabel Bacon, of 68 Stanton street, New Dorchester, Mass., generously came to the rescue of Maud Lintner, and is at present the sergeant-at-arms for 1901. Marjorie Elizabeth Baldwin belongs at 38 School street, Fitchburg, Mass. Georgia Mabel Bancroft in Millbury, Mass. Georgia has done some very fine accompanying for ' the Glee Club, also second sopranoing. Rena Emma Barron of 126 South Main street, Gardner, Mass., deserves particular mention for her Volume VI 29 unparalleled impersonation of Lucy, in The Rivals. Anna Lincoln Bates has tried several times to tell us where she lives,— but we have never been able to hear her. We wrote to her friends, however, for her address, and find it to Vie Windham, Conn. Alice Harlow Bell, of 172 Hope street, Bristol, R. I., is a member of the Student Volunteer Band and also the Bashful Young Alice referred to in the poem. Mary Florence Berry, E f A, lives at 12 Charles street, Portland, Maine, and is at present class treas- urer. Emily Lucretia Bettes, 'k fi, is within shooting distance—127 Thompson street, Springfield, Mass. Far be it from anyone, however, to shoot at Emily. Carrie Agnes Boa is a shark in Latin. Is any of it due to 11 oS Walker street, Des Moines, Iowa? Helen Cox Bowerman, of 9 Joslyn Park, Rochester, N. Y., is on three executive committees, 1901, League and Debating Society ! What a chance for an incompetent man in search of a wife! Ellen Lucinda Burnap belongs at 30 Allston Place, Fitchburg, Mass. We always miss Ellen when she does not come to class. Ellen Caroline Burnham, is very shy, albeit she lives in North Windham, Conn. She is also classi- cal. Jessie Elizabeth Butler is new,— for which we are indebted to Jamesville, Wis. We are sorry we are not able to grind Jessie, but she has not been here long enough. 30 The Llamarada Laura Chase, of 199 Walnut street, Holyoke, refused to have honors thrust upon her, and with dig- nity and precision resigned the office of class vice- president at the close of the first Semester. Josephine Augusta Clarke carried a pitiful tale back to Linwood, Mass., concerning some psychology arrangements, and an additional course in history of philosophy. Jane Comstock, of Bellston Spa, Saratoga Co., N. Y., has, it seems a namesake, in the mind of a Dartmouth youth. Jane does not like it. Sara Catherine Cossit, lives at 45 Broad street, Claremont, N. H. She is known by her fur cape and many other charming qualities. Emily Louise Covell is on The Board. All Glastonbury, Conn., knows that Emily is a faithful worker for ads., as well as along her own line. Lately she has been chosen to push along the editor- ial work of The Mount Holyoke. We are very proud of her. Nellie May Crawford of 35 Prospect street, Warsaw, N. Y., is no relative of the prolific Marion. Her talents are less confined. Alice Gertrude Davenport, of North Grafton, Mass., has the honor of preceding Sara in the cata- logue. To Sara Forsyth Demurest, we have thought it necessary to give considerable space. We feel that we have omitted nothing except, possibly the fact that she lives at 240 State street, Hackensack, N. J. Louise Dever, of 86 Gallia avenue, Portsmouth, Volume VI 31 O., is another one of those doubtful individuals of whom we as yet know but little. Louise came to us a Junior. Ida Elizabeth Deyo, has of late developed most astonishing abilities in the line of stage-training. (Call to mind the presentation of the Rivals). We would suggest that Beth, instead of returning to Iloneoye, N. Y., should apply for position of head master in the Lenox Lyceum. Emily Dixon, 1507 Walnut street, Phila., came to us from Baltimore. In the structure class, (first semester) Emily, owing to the cheerfulness with which she answered all the questions, acquired the name of k The Volunteer.’ Harriet Dodge, S 4 A, having an eye for her future connections, left 1900 and joined our ranks. At her home, 15 Pine street, Hyde Park Mass., they all think Harriet has done a good thing. Sophia Dudley, E $ A, of North Guilford, Conn.; Alice Dumard of Claremont, N. H., and Harriet Zelda Dyson of 55 Franklin street, West- field, Mass., are also indispensable members of 1901. Climaxically speaking, Harriet sings in the Glee, captains the Basket Ball team and presidents the Juniors. Gertrude Catherine Ellis, (195 Winchester street, Keene, N. H.,) plays golf and stars in Indus- trial history. Lillian Rice Edmonds first received her classical training at her home on 33 Summer street, West- boro, Mass. The Llamarada 32 Mary Lombard Esleck has given us some trouble to classify her. She is a member of the junior organization, lives at 183 Northampton street, Hol- yoke, Mass., and plays on the Banjo Club. So far so good. But lately Mary has joined the ranks of the ‘Other Half.’ She did it without reflecting that Junior and Faculty is an unnameable combination. Please send suggestions to Box 19c;. Nan Jefferson Evans, being of a meek and unas- suming nature, has refused to allow us to state what we think of her ‘hen-tracks,’ as she tenderly calls them. Throughout these pages you see Nan’s inter- pretation of her muse. Perhaps she will not object to your praise and admiration however, or to that of Troy, Ohio, her native town. She is undoubtedly reserved and shy about receiving ours, only because she has seen us applaud so many things, she may think we do it from force of habit. Minnie Gregory Farwell, of 55 Oak street, Hyde Park, Mass., has refused to give us any parti- culars about herself. Faith Foxcroft is one who will be immediately recognized after two small hints; (1) Faith is a lit- erary editor of the Llamarada. (2) Faith is the one who knows six Colleges personally. She lives at 2 =; Hillside avenue, Cambridge, Mass. Eva Berthand Gay, 2 © X, lives on Winter street, Norwood, Mass. Eva is one of the origina- tors of all class stunts (free translation for ‘ member of the Executive Committee’ ) and plays Basket Ball. Eva likewise, is proverbially devoted to spreads. Volume VI 33 Gertrude Lillian Goodenough, of Winchester Center, Conn., always puts us in mind of that poem about the intelligent bird — “ ’E was a little ostrich and ’e knew it all! ” Jessie Emeline Goodnow, 'k O, made the best Freshman President that the Class ever knew. Did Jessie receive her training from East Jeffrey, N. H., or from Cushing Academy, or couldn’t she help being such a paragon? Katherine Woodbury Hall, in the fall of ’97 fled with all possible speed from 62 Gardner street, All- ston, Mass., having heard that there was a Banjo and a Mandolin Club at Mount Holyoke. Katherine grew shy after she got here, and would not for a long time take her mandolin from its case. You will note what a gain she has made in accomplishment and in nerve force, when we tell you that Katherine has applied for both clubs, at last,— and what is more— been acceptedI! Anne Thompson Hamilton, 'k f2, came to us imbued with the peaceful influences of State College, Penn. She used to write beautiful compositions about babbling brooks and shimmering sheens. That doubtless determined the class to make her a member of the Board. Now, while her brooks do not babble as vociferously, or her sheens shimmer as brilliantly as of yore, still Anne has brought us other things, along with the brooks and sheens, without which this Llamy could never be what it is. Susie Loraine Hapgood, 2 © X, exists now for herself, since Della has left College. She has 34 The Llamarada immortalized her name by her interpretation of Toby in She Stoops to Conquer. All this came from Peru, Vermont. Lucy Gerrish Harris is a comfort to Mr. Ham- mond and the Glee Club. Lucy cheerfully carols on the two vocal clubs, which devotion should surely be rewarded. Helen Hassler, although but lately come to us, has secured the names of most of the Clubs in Col- lege, and proceeded to join them. At present it is Glee, Mandolin, Choral, and Golf. What would it not be if Helen had come as a Freshman ! She is an Ohio girl, and may be found at 26 Madison street, Dayton. Harriet Matilda Hazen has business-managed the Alount Holyoke for two years. It will be a sad day for the magazine when Harriet is graduated. Will she return to 276 College street, Middletown, Conn., or can they induce her to remain for a P. G. ? Florence Hill, of 74 Maplewood avenue, Pitts- field, Mass., is even more musical than Lucy Harris. Flossie has lifted up her voice in the Glee Club since ’97 Clara Adele Hirst, alias Sir Lucius O’Rigger, is of 536 Oakland avenue, Kansas City, Kan. We have at length consented to publish the fact, that Clara is going abroad this summer. Mary Katherine Hoffmeier is from Mount Pleas- ant, Md., and very pleasant it is for us that Mary is what she is. Ethelyn Luella Hull (Madison, Conn.) we Volume VI 35 heard (?) play the banjo at the last concert and now every one knows how well she can do it. She can conceal it no longer. Charlotte Hunt, 'k 12, is another one of 1900’s stars who has chosen to identify herself with the immortal nineteen ones. Charlotte rules us all with a rod of iron, and calls herself vice-president. Bet- ter be called ‘vice-tyrant.’ She insists upon short skirts for dramatics, instead of bloomers, and will have “none of those moustaches.” We wonder why ? Is it because that is the way they have always done it in Chappaqua, N. Y.? May Stone Jackson, of 172 Main street, Keene, N. H., lives with and takes pattern by Gertrude Goodenough. ’Nuf said. May also is a shark. Mabel Louise Judd is both literary and Athletic. What more fitting than that Mabel should be secre- of the Athletic Association? She cheerfully resides at 159 Pleasant street, Holyoke, Mass. Olive Allan Kee, 54 West Eagle street, East Boston, Mass., and Margaret Frances Keenan, 625 Norfolk street, Mattapan, Mass., are the modern Siamese in everything but looks. They are rather elusive on the subject, however; neither will admit it. Jane Louise Kendall hails from East street, Weymouth Heights, Mass. Jane wishes it distinctly understood that March 20, 1900, was the only time she ever did ‘fag. Ivah Louise Kenney has done a large number of noble things. (1) She has lived for a long time at The Llamarada 36 40 Elm street, Milford, N. H. (2) She has left 1900. (3) She sings in the Glee and Choral Clubs. (4) She plays basket-ball. Time obliges us to stop ; Ivah’s accomplishments would bid us flow on forever. Edith Emily Lewis, S A, was on one occasion a prim young Miss called Julia. Edith did it well that night, but cannot keep it up. Nor do they desire it at 145 Cortlandt street, Jackson, Mich. They much prefer this style of characterization : — See the girl in the gray woolen cape? They say that she’s struck on her shape. But alas and alack, They add this sad fac’ — How seldom she sticks it on straight! Maud Clarrissa Lintner is the lady mentioned above, who was so generously relieved of her duties as sergeant-at-arms. When the news of her release came, Maud wrote a joyful letter to Fort Plain, N. Y., assuring her admiring family, that Fate, after all is just and unerring. True dignity is never allowed to be long imposed upon. Florence Esther Locke is a model of the meek and quiet maiden. Surely Mr. Page did not see her in the audience when he said that the author of To Have and To Hold looked more quiet and unassum- ing than Mount Holyoke girls. Florence once sang in the Glee Club, but although she has stopped that, we are inclined to think that she helps the church choir in Brockton, Mass. Bertha Holland Lyman, of 154 Hanover street, Volume VI 37 Fall River, Mass., sings in the Choral Club and plays the Mandolin,— to say nothing of having been the recording secretary of the Y. W. C. A., for ’98- ’99 and chairman of class prayer-meeting committee, ’99-1900. Yet Bertha takes all these things quietly and as her due. Helen Mo wry Lyman is scientific and athletic, also 110 fit subject to grind. We can only say that she lives in West Brookfield, Mass. This is the worst. Frances Elizabeth May. Only look at the “ads.” and then ask what Frances has done ! The board have been obliged to buy her several pairs of shoes during the year; she thought she was saving carfare by -walking after “ads.” We feel sure that were it not for the Llamy., Frances would walk to her home in Lee, Mass. Gertrude Eleanor MacDonald is another one of those Choral Clubbers. She lives in Reedsville, Penn., and speaks French constantly. May McKinney, of 253 Rensharve, avenue, East Orange, N. J., is referred to below. The inserted squib gives a very good idea of May, leaving, how- ever, a great deal to the imagination. Ethelyn Dee McNaughten came to us this year, and, like Helen Ilassler, determined to club it. So far, however, it is only mandolin, choral, and ath- letic. Ethelyn lives cor. 8th avenue and 9th street, Beaver Falls, Pa., where all notices of new-formed organizations may be sent. Florence Sophia Merwin (New Milford, Conn.) keeps the record of 190PS meetings. We can vouch 38 The Llamarada for it, that Florence has some very interesting read- ing on hand, available, however, only to nineteen ones. Anna Hedden Moore was promoted from the Executive Committee to the Board. Anna’s valuable services have proved to us that she appreciated the honor. That, added to her position on the Banjo Club has made her very proud. She lives at 29 State street, Lowville, N. Y., and is the young woman who supposes that no newspaper has a woman editor, that is of any size. Small chance for Anna ! Lillian Eliza Morse, 474 Washington street, Norwood, Mass., is the quietest girl in Rockefeller. But, then, Rockefeller is a very noisy house, you know, and Lillian cannot help being quiet. Alice Bertha Newton, not having shared our Freshman trials with us, cannot, of course, as fully appreciate being a Junior. She does very well, however, and we are glad that 215 Main street, Haverhill, Mass., has spared her to us for three years. Mary Forrest Oakley, of 233 McDonough street, Brooklyn, N. Y., was a very devoted member of the Empire State Club. Since its decease, Mary feels as if she had nothing left to live for. Perhaps she will one day find sufficient heart in her to resuscitate it. Anna Laura Ogden, H ! A, gets away from Pen- yan, N. Y. She is very valuable to the College for supplying all Cornell statistics and current events on demand. The Social Committee thinks of offering 39 Volume VI her steady employment if she will consent to prolong her course. Eleanor Taylor Oliver has had what might be called a staccato career. She is now a member of 1901, however, and an editor of the Mount Holyoke. Let us hope she will remain so until the publication of the next Llamarada. Annie Pierce O’Hara, of Cottage avenue, Win- throp, Mass., has changed a great deal since last year. Then she was thin, worn, haggard; now she is plump and rosy. When you ask Annie what has done it, she grins and shows you her Trig-card. Such is the power of pasteboard ! Ethel Stirling Osgood is so vitally connected with the Nerve Food poem below, that we will ask you to wait for particulars until you reach that point. Here we will but say, that she lives at 12 Avon street, Portland, Maine. Louise Rockwell Parsons, of Lenox, Mass., will have heavy work to do hereafter. Louise is Secre- tary and Treasurer for the Debating Society, and that Debating Society is not what it used to be. Florence May Phillips the same, indeed, now worthy to be compared with the labors of her last year’s presidential career. Florence lives at 211 Holland street, West Somerville, Mass., where she finds it necessary to go for frequent rests. Elizabeth Bartlett Pot win, you will remember, gave a famous lecture on the Earthworm. But then, Elizabeth lives in East Windsor, Conn., and has excellent opportunities for watching earthworms. 40 The Llamarada Edith Huntingdon Reed (54 Court street, West- field, Mass.,) possesses a rare reputation for a rarer combination — boss and workman. We should not attempt to elect an Executive Committee without her, and wrould advise every class to secure at least one of her. Laura Pratt Rising, having friends on the Board, has felt quite confident that she will not be ground. If we cannot adequately dispose of her this year, we suppose i902’s Board will be glad of further contri- butions. We will carefully preserve for them any such that we cannot dispose of here. Laura will not mind our saying that she lives in West Pawlet, Vermont. Annabel Catherine Roe, 'HI, of 5 Dix street, Worcester, Mass., did ample justice to the annals of 1901 during ’98 and ’99. Were it not against our principles, we would refer you to last year’s Llama- rada. Since it is, go to Annabel herself. Ella Charlotte Rogers has been a Bible Shark ever since she came to College. Has Charlotte any reason for being such a shark? If you are anxious to persue the subject, write to 80 Asylum street, Norwich, Conn. Florence Abbie Rogers is also a shark, tho’ not so distinctly biblical as Charlotte. Florence lives at Hingham Center, Mass. Lavinia Sophia Rose needs no labeling. We all know how she starred in the Troupe, that she belongs to the Glee, Choral, and Basket Ball, and that she lives in Granville, Mass. Volume VI 41 Anne May Smith, St. Johnsbury, East; Ver- mont has long been the mainstay of her State Club. We do not, therefore, expect to see it go the way of the others. Celia May Spencer, of West Burke, Vermont, is a disciple of F. Locke. We are sure Mr. Page did not see her either. Pause here and take a deep breath if you are reading aloud ; if not, settle yourself comfortably in an arm-chair, and do not expect to reach the name beyond for a long time to come. 42 The Llamarada To Margaret Service Steen, 2 0 X, at least one whole page should be devoted — as our publishers have limited our space, we cannot hope to do her justice. We can but give a list of her offices, leader- ships, accomplishments, and various and sundry stunts,—and assure you that we hold ourselves in readiness to enlarge, expatiate, linger over, expound, explain the details to any who may desire them. We are sure that no communication addressed to 401 W. 33rd street, Philadelphia, Pa., would receive as prompt and adequate attention as we are ready to give. Margaret belongs, of course, to the Debating Society; was class historian the first time we had a chance to elect any one,— was on the executive com- mittee of the class in the Sophomore year, likewise the Glee and Mandolin Clubs. This year she has embraced the Choral in her Club list, leads the Glee, and is an editor of the Mount Holyoke. Where can you find a parallel record? Margaret appreciates the length of this list as do the rest of us, but thinks it might, even may yet, be longer. Edith St. John, of 31 Rutledge avenue, Spring- field, Mass., was the first vice-president we had. Better than that, however, Edith has collected ads., as persistently as the Business Manager herself. She is called ‘Assistant’—but what’s in a name? Her shoes are nearly as holey as those of Frances. Ethel Stocking, of Williamstown Station, Mass., it is impossible to grind except on her name. That of course is out of our line, and therefore, Ethel must go unground. Volume VI 43 Grace Sweuarton, 2©X, has endeared herself to all who are aesthetically inclined. Despite the color of her hair,Grace never wears red or pink. Ruth Thomas, 2 © X, although entering a Soph- omore, has accomplished many things in her short career. She started out with the Choral Club, reached the Glee, and has now attained the Llama- rada. In La Grange, Missouri, Mount Ilolyoke is considered a very appreciative institution. Ruth Louise Thomas, (known, by way of distinction and not of characterization, as Wilder Ruth) lives at 20 Home street, Worcester, Mass. This Ruth helps collect the finest lecturers from all over the country, and concentrate them in one great series, known as ‘The Course.’ Ruth also plays the guitar for the Mandolin Club. Mabel Frances Warren, of Leicester, Mass., debates, was once class treasurer, and plays Basket Ball. These are the things which go to make up Mabel’s College life. Susie Augusta Watson has given up Basket Ball, in order to devote all her energies to the Choral Club. It has certainly told on the Club. (Susie lives in Winchendon, Mass.) Helen Louise Watts, of Pearsons fame, applied for a change in domestic work, but was unable to secure it. Nothing daunted, however, she still manages to spend her spare time in the kitchen. But in vacations, Helen is obliged to observe the proprieties, and return to West Barnet, Vermont. Caroline Almira Whipple, of Sutton, Mass., The Llamarada 44 made a great hit with M. de Regnier. If Caroline’s expectations are realized, she will be the subject of his next poem. Marion Elizabeth White, (45 Chetham street, Worcester, Mass.,) is athletic, and golfs. She is likewise the only one of her kind. Not so Frederica May Whitney of Harrison, Maine. She like the rest of those whom Mr. Page did not see and would make no footprints on soft snow. Irma Clarrissa Wieand has, we feel, received enough attention. (Vide poem.) Have we neg- lected to mention that Irma is Class Photographer ? Impossible ! But the poem will tell all, except that Irma comes from 209 Chestnut street, Pottstown, Pa. Florence Emily Wilder, E 4 A, lives at 237 West 74th street, New York City, leads the Banjo Club and is on The Board. We feel that she has already taken up so many of these pages, we are not warranted in giving her any more. By the time you have read through the book you will appreciate our feelings. Mary Cornelia Wise, has, at her earnest desire, at last become known by her sneeze. Before Mary came, 1900 tells us they used to hear this sneeze occasionally, wafted by the breezes from 8 Lewis street, Auburn, Mass. We now get it in its full force, and Mary is free to prepare another surprise. Helen Adelaide Wood, of 4 Gleason street, Dor- chester, Mass., and Helen Clough Wood of West Lebanon, N. H., are indistinguishable only in name. Volume VI 45 Helen C. belongs to the Choral, which is a distin- guishing mark, but Helen A. possesses marks equally distinguishing, which will be enumerated on applica- tion. In our pride and exuberance of spirits let not our former members be forgotten. Agnes Adams, Ida Alden, Mertie Aldrich, Edith Armington, Eva Barton, Frances Bell, Amy Bigelow, Edith Bliss, Mary Bright, Agnes Chambers, 2 0 X, Florence Chapman, Ethel Dack (since committed matrimony), Helen Cunningham, Laura Deacon, E A, Cornelia Fairbanks, Katherine Garetson, Anna Glenn, Bertha Griffin, Clara Harris, Helen Harmon, Lucia Ilazen, Elizabeth Healey, Edith Higgins, Lily Horton, Ruth Kenyon, Polly Kershew, Margaret Klein, Elizabeth Langendorf, Charlotte Leavit, Elona Mason, S4 A, Mary Mason, Helen Matthews, 2 © X, Effie Merchant, Sara Moore, Mabelle Perry, Winifred Phipps, Ethel Pierce, Maud Pingree, Julia Reynolds, Edith Roswell, Susan Roundy, Jen- nie Sargeant, Mary Scalley, Ethel Shaw, Florence Skinner, Bertha Smith, Mittie Smith (now lost to the Llamarada Board and gained to Henry Hayden Barston), Emma Southworth, 1 0, Bess Steimer, Nina Whitcomb, Minnie Wilson,— if not alphabeti- cal, are at least a bunch to be proud of. 46 The Llamarada And now, after all this wealth of information concerning our members honorary, active and for- mer,— some might think the Annals of the Juniors closed — not so with Nineteen One. The Annals of most Juniors would have closed long ago, but we have yet many things to say about ourselves. First of all we would say that our colors are white and green, that we Yell to the following rag- time Tune : — Osky — Wow - wow, Wisky — Wow - wow Holly—Muckle— I Holy— oky — I Naughty — one — I Wow - wow - wow! That our flower is white clover, and our motto To HpoaOev. Next we would speak of our relation to psy- chology. This is a Relation intricate and many sided. As we have often been told, those studies which are of the most value to us are those which, rather than impart information, stimulate our minds to original thought and research. Of what is this so true as of the department of philosophy? The work herein accomplished shows, in the words of the best authority, a process of Evolution rather than Devilution, it is not surprising, therefore, that Volume VI 47 so many have devoted time and mental energy to it outside of their class work. From the many contri- butions which have their source in the work of this department, we select a few choice specimens. To this first one we will append the name of the authors, although it is contrary to our custom, it shows, however, such a close familiarity with mater- ial and methods, and is, withal, so characteristic, that we feel constrained to state that it is the creation of Miss Sarah E. Demarest (mentioned above and below, — if not in the margins) and Miss Alice H. Bell. 0 FIFTY MINUTES WITH MODERN PSYCHOLOGISTS Scene— Wilder Hall. Time — Fifty minutes a day, four days a week throughout the first term. Dramatis Personae— Class, (composed of Sen- iors and Juniors') and Professor. Professor : — Girls, next day you will have an examination in all you have learned thus far in Psy- chology. We will have a review to-day. Before we begin I will ask you one question. Do we really know anything? Class (unanimously) : — No ! Prof. :—Yes, that is correct. 48 The Llamarada (Hand goes up very suddenly from the third row.) Prof. :—What is it Miss Demarest? Miss Demarest : —Are you speaking practi- cally or theoretically? Prof. : — Both, of course. Now when we look at red for a time what color do we see? Suppose that we should look at Safford Hall, what color would arise? Miss Reed (very loud) : — C. Green. Prof.: — Miss Hazen, we have studied about association of ideas. To illustrate, why does the lake remind you of a blue book ? Miss Hazen: — Because I may be thinking of a Psychology examination when I am on the lake, and that leads me to think of the blue book. Prof.:—You had better think of that again. Now class, write out a train of ideas. 1 will give you the first word of the series. History. (Class write rapidly for a few seconds). Prof. : — Miss Coveil will you read what you have ? Miss Covell : — History, special topic. Miss Prentiss, Amherst, foot-ball game, base-ball game Rockefeller vs. Porter, May Lane, Gym., dancing. Prof.: — That will do Miss Coveil. Don’t mind those silly girls. Will you give as well as you can in Titchener’s own words what he says about emotions, Miss Hunt. Miss Hunt (glibly): — In the first place you might be sitting in a room and hear a rumbling noise Volume VI 49 outside; then you would hear a child’s scream ; ideas would follow rapidly, and suddenly the mangled body of the child rushes upon you. Your feeling leads to adjustment of the parts which make up the organism, to the situation, and you have an emotion. Prof. : — Now girls, don’t forget the examina- tion to-morrow and do try and improve your marks. (Exit class, with the exception of Misses Bard- well, Cole, Barron, Hazen and Bell, who remain for further discussion). 50 The Llamarada The Logic Class has been likened to an abyss. In the dictionary of Synonyms we find that an abyss is where all nature yawns. Before accepting this, however, we wish to make an exception of Miss Hamilton. IN FAVOR OF JEVONS 4� In searching for truth about Logic We trace it way back to creation, Where primitive man ’gan to reason In response to the earliest sensations, When Eve ate the apple, you’ll notice, If at church you have given attention She didn’t use judgement — but judgement Soon followed her just apprehension. Likewise in Logic. In just one interesting lesson we learn that b cannot be b and be not b; if b be b, b cannot be not b, if b be not b b cannot be b, and therefore, b cannot be not b and be b. Volume VI 5i From the simple study of the abstract, sprang even such as this—a personal experience of one of the students. A sudden mournful wailing Smote on the midnight air It wakened me from slumber And gave me quite a scare ! It ceased, “A steampipe — sure” quoth I “’Tis nothing more than that” When a doleful voice said wailfully “ I am an abstract cat.” “ My dwelling place is in the mind, and I am never seen, Though Plato has assured the world Of all cats I am queen, Yet for one juicy, juicy mouse. One choice and pulpy rat, I’d give up my perfection And be a concrete cat.” It ceased — the wailing died away Full pitiful and scared I lay Then went to sleep and slept till day. a Much more could we say, indeed, but may not. There are obstacles which even The Board cannot overcome. 52 The Llamarada There was once a Psychy Exam. That was sprung on a class, with a slam ; But Miss Brow-ne rose in state, Said in tones of great weight, “ We won’t take this old Psychy Exam.” The sequel to this has been suppressed. 0 The following Dialogue may not be considered eligible from a facetioiis point of view, but it gives a very accurate Idea of the appreciation which the lit- erature department has succeeded in developing for Young. The scene is the library—poetry alcove. Large portion of English Literature Class deep in study. First Oppressed Junior — I guess Young didn’t have to turn his gas out at ten o’clock ! Second Ditto — No, but I wish he’d blown it out! 0 One of the most important recent physiological discoveries has been made by Miss Harris, ’oi. She has found that we breathe long when we inspire, and short when we expire. OWING to the recent novel Treatment which Mr. Wordsworth and his Works have re- ceived at the Hands of the Poetry Class, we have deemed it only fitting that an entire Chapter be devoted to him, and what have now be- come his Idiotsyncracies. Owing to the Inspiration derived from this year’s careful Study, Material has grown so rapidly, as to make it impossible to repro- duce here the entire Amount. Some of the Work, we must say in Justice, forms the Students’ own In- terpretations of the Man and Poet. For Instance, one Freshman— (having listened once or twice at a recitation of the Junior Poetry Class), is convinced that these would have been the Sentiments of Words- worth on Freshman mathematics. a THE THORN I There is a thorn — it is as old As since this College first began ; It dwells in every Freshman’s side, To do what harm it can ; A torment for a whole year’s course It sticks within — this Aged Thorn. No leaves it has, just prickly points, It is a mass of knotted joints,— A wretched thing forlorn — And like to lichens on a stone, With tufts of tears it iso’ergrown. 54 The Llamarada % II Like rock or stone it is o’ergrown With groanings to the very top And hung with heavy-laden sighs — A melancholy crop; Up from the heart these groanings creep, And this old Thorn they clasp it round So close, you’d say that they are bent With plain and manifest intent To drag it to the ground; And all have joined in one endeavor With hate to kill this Thorn forever. III But still it flourishes and grows, And still the Freshmen toil and sigh. And beat their breasts and tear their hair — Then pause and wipe an eye. And sometimes e’en this wretched Thorn, If treated with neglect too high, Remains throughout the Sophomore year, While fingers point and groundlings jeer; — And then we hear them cry — O misery ! O misery ! O woe is me! O misery! ’ a Another, although not a Freshman, would like to know — If Wordsworth was a mortal man, And loved all human kind, Why did he write so many thoughts Too deep for human mind? Volume VI 55 THIS plaintive Ditty, though written primarily only for the Perusal of Miss Hunt, has now reached its 35th Edition. ff A Junior sad in a cottage gray, The measles holding triumphant sway, A Freshman worshipful, all in vain Trying to peer through the window-pane. Two rosy lips on the icy glass, And a plaintive cry from the pig-tailed lass: “ I’ve left a kiss on the pane for you, Perhaps in a day it will quite sink through ! ” 56 The Llamarada HIS little Sketch will be of great Interest, we feel sure, owing to its autobiographical Nature. I know an amusing story, Which I shall tell if I can, Of a sensible Holyoke maiden And a foolish Amherst man. The maiden was swayed by a hobby,— A devoted camera fiend,— To ways that were scientific All her inclinations leaned. The Am man came to Holyoke, Admired and came again, And the maid from a sense of duty Did her best to entertain. There were walks, and tours o’er Prospect, And the Pepper Box, one day, In astonished silence listening Heard the Amherst fellow say : — ' After all these happy Wednesdays We spent so pleasantly, Do you think, my dear Miss Irma, You could learn to care for me? The heartless Holyoke maiden Was still to her hobby true. “To develop a negative really Is all that I care to do.” Volume VI 57 SOME among us are inclined to sentiment. For their Benefit we [insert the following Tale of Love and Psyche, founded on Fact: LOVE. AND PSYCHE I Love and Psyche met one day in the college post-office. Each had an eye upon the same girl, instead of on each other, as was fitting and conven- tional. “She is mine” cried Psyche as the girl opened her box and took out a note. Love peeped over her shoulder and made a wry face, for he read: “There will be a special exam- ination on the last chapter of Psychology at 4.30 this afternoon.” But he soon plucked up courage, for the girl drew a letter from the box and tore it open in great haste. Love recognized the insignia of one of his allies in the shape of a dark blue crest and the postmark New Haven. “ Here are my innings,” he chuckled. The girl seemed perplexed. “ Hear what he says,” Love whispered. “ I shall be with you Friday at half-past four, for an hour; just long enough to hear the sw'eetest — ” Here Love stopped and frowned at Psyche. “ I can’t bear to tell tales,” he explained. 58 The Llamarada II Again Love and Psyche were in the post-office and again were they watching the same girl. She was showing a note to a friend. “I regret to say that you will be unable to go on with your logic.” “Flunked ! ” cried her friend. “Ho!” cried Psyche, “That’s what she gets for neglecting me.” “She doesn’t seem to mind much” retorted Love. The girl was whispering to her friend, blushing and smiling. “ What! ” her friend exclaimed. “ Next June? Not back for your Senior year?” “’Sh !” was the answer. “Don’t you dare o tell a soul! ” And Love, after making a face at Psyche, walked up Prospect and sat on the steps of the Pep- per Box, polishing his arrows. Volume VI 59 OF course everyone is aware that some- thing has to be conceeded to relations and friends. For instance, three members of The Board threatened to resign unless all their contributions were accepted. Pray do not think, however, that the four subsequent articles are necessarily examples of the above-mentioned kind of literature. We make these little remarks en passant. 0 TAKEN FROM LIFE LAST JUNE 4� ■ Scene I: — Holyoke Station. Time —10.30 a. m. Temperature — 78° Fahrenheit.

Volume VI 69 These Sophomores were so disappointed at the non-appearance of their Basket Ball picture, that we finally consented to publish their class song. 0 THE. CLASS OF NINETEEN=TWO r Tune : “ There's Music in the Air. IN bright autumnal days Neath the crimson leaves and gold, We came a goodly band, Like King Arthur’s Knights of old, Then we promised friendship sure, Love for Holyoke strong and pure, Pledged our lives forever true To the Class of Nineteen-two. While now with fleeting days Grows our college life more sweet, New-meaning in the words Still would we that pledge repeat. Woods and lake and hills around Stir our hearts with love profound; Ne’er were hearts more leal and true Than the Class of Nineteen-Two. In all the coming days, Far from Alma Mater dear, Still steadfast will we stand For the things we promised here. In our souls shall love endure, Longings high and motives pure, And our lives for aye be true To the Class of Nineteen-Two. 70 The Llamarada u AUSE here And drop a tear,” As various gravestones say — For these in the strife Of College life Have fallen by the way. «r r Rebecca Boughton Barnum, Alice Harlow Bell, Elsie Gertrude Cook, Mildred Cordelia Davis, Laura Deacon, Alice Harriet Derby, Ida Elizabeth Deyo, Kate Gertrude Howard, Abby Louise Hoyt, Helen Sewell Leavitt, Kathleen Melvin, Florence Bell Messer, Delphine Osborne, Mary Lucy Osgood, Mary Elizabeth Peerson, Helen Porter, Sara Brown- ing Root, Helen Melora Sinclair, Carrie Bishop Stanley, Ruth Thomas. “A Possibility M That a few College Women are not unfitted for Society Volume VI 7i THE following is a little Reminiscence of Nineteen Hundred and Two’s Freshman year. Owing to the splendid Example set them by Nineteen Hundred and One they have acquired more Sense and Modesty. We have not seen the Sunbonnet this Year. Let us hope that this innocent little Recollection of it, may not suggest to Them that it would be in Order again to perpetrate the Thing on an unoffending Public. I Crimson banner from afar, We can see them wear it; Bluest glasses needed are That our eyes may bear it; Road or lake or Prospect’s top, We must come upon it; ’Tis a most abundant crop. The Sunbonnet. II Used to foster grandma’s pride, Guarding her complexion; Surely it will serve to hide Shy maids from inspection. Giddy Class of Nineteen Two, They were wise to don it, Room there is to grow into The Sunbonnet. 72 The Llamarada THERE was a Class, they Thought they owned what is popularly called the Earth. They Wished a Sleighride and did for that Sleigh- ride Take certain Sleighs which had been afore-time Hired for a Class infinitely above them in Station and to which they Owed every Allegiance. Oh gentle Reader what fate is worse enough for them? We stand appalled before the Question, the Sophomores Sleighed — the Seniors .... Oh maiden fair, I sing to you, This quaint and homely ditty I’ve loved you long with secret love Because you are so pretty. I’ve never dared to tell you so Because my faith is weak I know you do not care for me The Muse’s aid I’ll seek. TOMMY’S VALENTINE I’ve tried to think what you love best So I may change me to it If fate is kind you’ll love me yet Oh may i never rue it. Now I’m a stout little basket-ball Faith, then she’ll surely love me Alas, alack, I hope too soon Her dainty foot doth spurn me. 14 . Again, I’ll change, be a Physic’s sprite She’ll surely now receive me. Oh woe is me, she wrings my neck How could she so deceive me. At last worn out “ To Chemistry turn” The Muse hath slyly told me A bottle I’ll be of the largest size — With acid thoughts she’s filled me. 74 The Llamarada And now dear love, I’ll try again, A mortar and pestle I’ll be. She’s picked me up in her own sweet hands. Zounds ! she’s pounding me ! My ardent passion still survives My love in her face I’ll flout A Bunsen Burner my flame shall show. Puff! she’s pul me out. And yet once more I’ll try my fate The prize is worth the fight. This simple card may unbar the gate Oh bliss!! She hugs me tight. 75 Volume VI THE. FATE OF THE CHEMISTRY GRIND There once was a girl named Mary Cole And she was a Chemistry Grind; She studied Chemistry day and night And was never a lesson behind. She always neglected her other work (A thing which she shouldn’t have done), She even cut Chapel to go to the Lab, And seemed to consider it fun. One day, alas! she began to change,— Her head a flask became, With spatula mouth, and triangle nose, And eyes like the Bunsen flame. Her arms were retorts with hands made of tongs While tripods acted as feet, A funnel waist, and a bottle skirt. Completed her figure neat. Her hat became a porcelain dish With a Camel’s hair brush on its side To take the place of an ostrich plume Which had formerly nodded with pride. And even the poor girl’s name was changed, Mary Cole was too good a name; She was Molly Cule to the end of her days, And as this she accpiired her fame. 3 S Moral : Oh never become a Chemistry grind — It is not a wise thing to do, And never cut Chapel to go to the Lab; Or something will happen to you. 76 The Llamarada O Fields offer more Opportunities for original Investigation than the Scientific. We gladly give Space to some brilliant Discoveries made by Members of the Sophomore Class. 0 EXTRACT FROM A CHEMISTRY NOTE ■ BOOK 0 Experiment 26 0 May 1899 Original research in sulphuric acid.

Volume VI 77 A CHEMICAL AFFINITY A TALE of love I’ll tell to you A tale of love both strong and true; For naught is truer, you’ll agree Than arc the facts of Chemistry. S ( was an atom, dwelling far Within a great transparent jar Which held her tribe, whose racial name Was Hydrogen, far known to fame. With her mamma she dwelt, they say; A happy molecule were they, And so devoted heart to heart They really could not live apart! Ah! fair was she, and lovely too, And many atoms came to woo, But never one outdid the rest And wakened love within her breast. At length there came a fateful day When all the atoms moved away. With her mamma and many more She went, new regions to explore Through many winding ways they passed, But reached their journey’s end at last. No more about they cared to roam ; Within a tube they found a home. 78 The Llamarada And thither came with them to dwell The tribe of Oxygen as well. A mighty band and bold were they, Of warriors and of hunters gay. But one there was of all the throng Most noble, beautiful, and strong. One friend he had, as Avas the rule, With whom he lived in molecule. An evil atom this, unkind, Jealous in heart and harsh in mind. Now as it chanced, one atom bold, When he fair “ Hydie” did behold, Fell deep in love; and she, ’tis true, Mid blushes, vowed she loved him too, But, drooping low her lovely head, “ I cannot leave mamma,” she said. Then came the noble atom’s friend, Determined that this love should end. “ Is such a girl in love with you, Who makes you take her mother too? If such a cheerless love you choose My friendship straightway you must lose. Pray, shall your love henceforth be paid To me, or to this foolish maid?” Long time within one atom’s soul Did love and friendship seek control. Alone he wrestled, in despair, And tore his long atomic hair. Then nil at once decision came A sudden swift electric tlame Of love swept all his being through, And Hydie felt the current too. Volume VI 79 Swift to each other’s arms they sped, Close clasped their hands,— and so were wed. The mother too received her share Of home and love and tender care. Nor e’er was formed unto this day A blither molecule than they. The household’s name of course you know, Their cards are written H30. « ih Volume VI HERE ends, for the time being, the Chronicle of the Sophomores,— to make Room for a few Facts about the eager Young FRESHMEN President 4 . .

Oh where is my love quo’ he — I’ve wandered all through Safford Hall, Sans bell sans card pardee I’m a student down at dear old Brown And leader of the Glee. He wandered up and down the hall And all was still as death He saw a board ahanging there And drew a thankful breath. “ Her dear, dear name! I’ll jerk this thing And call her up” — he saith. He roused him from his efforts, At the sound of merry shouts: “ Young man, there is no battery Attatched to the Ins and Outs. ’ Volume VI 9i SOME things (principally Freshmen) speak for themselves. Dear Mamma : The longer I stay here the better I like it, though some things are awfully funny. You told me to be nice to the Faculty, so I asked two of them to go to walk with me last night but they had other engagements. One of them was the President. Joe Jefferson was in Holyoke the other night, and 1 went down with another girl. We came up in the car with two of the teachers and they scolded us awfully for something — I couldn’t make out what. Awfully few of the girls went. They do such queer things here when they get engaged. They put a sign up on the door saying so. Lots of girls are too. I went in to see one of them and she looked awfully young, but she wasn’t at all polite. Said she was busy and would like to see me some other time. She was writing to him I suppose. Please send all my old compositions. I want to give them to the Editor of the Mount Holyoke. Poor thing she looks so busy all the time, and these would be a great help to her. I am going to tell her to call on me for anything she wants, wouldn’t you? Well, I must close as it is after ten and those snobbish proctors are banging at my door. I’ll soon show them I’m not a bit afraid of them. Lovingly yours, Freshie Freshman. 92 The Llamarada PLEASE post Answers to this Lament on the Freshman bulletin Board. •xr sr Oh ! college is such a bewildering place ! I know I am fearfully “ new,” But every one tells me a contrary fact. What is a poor Freshman to do? They told me how cordial I must be to all, Must call on each Senior I knew; But then they all said, “ How fresh she must be! ” What is a poor Freshman to do? I sternly desisted, no fagging would do, Was lonely, exclusive,— and blue. And then they all said, “ What a stick of a girl! What is a poor Freshman to do? AS is the Custom of Some Girls : in Class meetings, The Board . Rise and Say, “I would like to speak about the League.” Thus: The League was founded in the Spring of 1898 by the class which was graduated in that year. It is based upon an Honor System, and is held in Loyal Respect and Interest by the Stu- dents of the College. In May of the year Ninety-Nine, the League Body saw fit to Confer the Honor of Presi- dency upon Belle Mead, 1900. Her Associates in Office are : Susan Leiter, B.A., ’99; Emily Miller, Senior mem- ber; Helen Bowerman, and Ruth L. Thomas, 1901; Abbie Aldrich, 1902; Emily Esty, 1903. 94 The Llamarada WHAT more Fitting than that these two little Statements should go together? Brock and May are Room-mates and — what the Room Committee has joined Together let no Llamarada Board tear Asunder. jt I An alien maid homeward (that’s Brock) Was hasting her flight Unmindful of Brigham’s Dead silence at night. Loud out in the hallway, In tones strong and clear, She talked of exams So soon drawing near. Then swift from her doorway A crazed proctor flies With hand on her lips And wrath in her eyes. The visiting maiden Saw nothing amiss,— She thought that the proctor Was throwing a kiss. Volume VI 95 And so in a moment, Not stopping to think, A kiss she tossed backward As quick as a wink. And the moral of this is — For great and for small — Just keep the League orders Regardless of hall. II Upon a certain evening, Miss McKinney, first name May, Was made a noble proctor, An office without pay ; And she started out that evening With purpose strong and right To say to every tardy one, “ You must put out that light! ” But one maid, often squelched, Made answer none too soon,— “ I’d love to put it out, dear, But alas ! it is the moon ! ” g6 The Llamarada UPON first thought we have Decided to say something about the Debating Society. It is an Honorary Society, Requiring a Stand of Eighty Five Plus for Admission to its Discomforts and Privileges. Its Discomforts arise from the Law that Every Member is required to Debate, or submit a Quantity of Money out of Pro- portion to the Public value of the Debate Foregone. The Privileges are Self-evident. The Society is divided into Two Chapters, To fxev and To 8c, who compete in Keen and Impassioned Argument when they are not Practicing Singly for the Attack.

For this (and other) Reasons she leads the Student Volunteers. Lucia Hazen and Edith Gates help her. Olive Hoyt redeems the Reputation of the Faculty, Alice Bell of Nineteen One, Emily Bishop and Suzan Lane of Nineteen Two, Edna Linsley and Alice Van Doren of Nineteen Three. Volume VI 127 WE have class lectures, chapel lectures, art lectures, history lectures, germ lectures and curtain lectures; but these are in entire charge of the Faculty. There are also certain other lectures, managed by the Students League ; for whose sake Grace Twemlow Hammond, 1900, Chair- man of the Lectureship Committee wears out her fountain pen writing letters, and also her shoe leather and temper chasing after the stray lecturers when they finally arrive. In her decisions in this mighty business she is aided by Mary Alice Brad- ford, 1900, Ruth Louise Thomas, 1901, and Flor- ence Maria Hull, 1902.

How- ever it struggles bravely on under the Leadership of Eleanor Rosannah Kimball 1900, Clara Adele Hirst 1901, and Laura Chase 1901. The History Professor has solemnly enjoined upon the Class to be perfectly honest in Reci- tations— to make Use of no Notes whatever, either on their Feet or in their Chairs !

Volume VI 133 OF Holyoke’s first gymnasium and the deeds Of yon athletic maidens in their might On rope and bar and “ horse” of wondrous shape, Sing Fistic Muse, who from the gallery high Hast many feats of daring, calm, surveyed, And on the eager brows the laurel cast, Invisible, of glowing health and strength. Serene and smiling on the strange exploits Things unatteinpted yet by maid or man. Say first for naught lies hidden from thy view, What does the maid upon the eel-like rope? Why clings she firm by eye-lash and by tooth, With straining upward gaze, despairing fixed As who would say in accents without hope : “ Climb I cannot; yet never will I yield.” Nay, she is but essaying in her pride, To scale the cord and show her prowess forth To all the gaping crowd beneath her thronged. Now tell, Most Wise, what mighty feat of strength Intends the girl in posture most abject, Who on the board by yonder wall reclines? Perchance she only seeks a moment’s rest Exhausted by a vigor too intense? Not so! her aim is merely to arise Dependent solely on her strength of back With scorn of all exterior support. Behold ! what sight is this most strange to view? A row of maidens swinging by their hands Uplifting knees and feet in vain appeal As ’twere a line of clothes hung out to dry ! And buffeted by Borea’s rude breath. Most ignorant! ’Tis the bar-stalls, nothing more Whereto the climber upward turns her face But when she has attained the top-most round 134 The Llamarada She then unto the ladder turns her back. Swings to the ground and scorns the base degrees By which she did ascend the Olympian height. Ah see! yon spiral damsels winding round Through spaces like a lattice-work arranged; Most sinuous they glide in 6nake-like coils And in and out entwine in ’wildering maze — A dozen needles, threaded for crochet. “And oh ! ” I gasp, amaze on every side— Impatient to await the answering Muse, Athwart the dusty air a ladder swings Rope-bound and waving, most deceptive safe And round by round ascend Eve’s daughters blithe With alternating foot and hand aloft, Until they bump their heads against the roof. “ Pray tell me” — but the Muse has fled the place Soft murmuring, as she passes thro’ the gates “ I must away; I stay too late. My class In purgilistic bag-fights waits below.” And now untaught, unskilled to read aright The mighty Amazonian deeds below, I sadly stand at gaze and wonder why Yon damsel sits upon a sliding seat, And jerks her arms and reddens as the dawn And tugs as one who fain would be at rest. A-danglg from the ceiling hang two ropes, With rings completed, through whose small expanse A wiry maiden wriggles, squirrel - wise And sits aloft and mocks her sister-band Unable to attain her lofty post. The thunderous fall of many rushing feet The tremor of the landing all a-quake, Apprises that they seek the running-track Round which they scurry, panting, red and hot, Until all breathless, sink they down to rest And many more such sights I fain would tell Volume VI 135 But soft! the tinkle of a warning chime And all the athletes cluster in two bands With look intent, and watchful on their chief Whose order brief calls forth the rhythmic strains Of “ Whistling Rufus” or some kindred lay, Whereat the damsels lift their feet and dance, With many a labyrinthine curve and twist But landing safely whence they first set out. So glide they from my vision down the stairs And seek the lower regions, unexplored Whence shrieks arise, of souls in torment fierce, A horrid universal hubbub wild Of stunning sounds, and voices all confused “The showers!” I exclaim in dubious tone, But only Echo answers to my cry. 136 The Llamarada THE HANGING OF THE CRANE SHE sat with careful eyes and thoughtful mein Before a picture, one you oft have seen, The poet’s flowing verse you oft have heard.

Our Own Scrub Team A Midsummer Nights’ Dream Volume VI 139 ONE of the Reporters on the New York Journal has most kindly furnished Us with the follow- ing Incident which occurred in one of his former Lives. He thinks that modern Newspapers have sadly Degenerated, along with the Times, but he has done much to elevate the Tone — and Color— of the Journal, as we have all doubtless Noticed. We deem ourselves particularly Fortunate in secur- ing this Tidbit, since the Athenian Paper, in which it once appeared, is no longer Procurable. “ It was my privilege to attend the late nuptials of Philoxemus and Melissa, a most charming young pair, who were brought together, rumor tells us, through the instrumentality of the same match-maker who had made all the matrimonial arrangements in the groom’s family for three generations. The parents and friends of the bride had hoped to leave the dowry at forty-eight drachmae, but the groom’s family insisted on an advance of ten drachmae. Socrates, who is rather a close man, was enraged, and in a personal interview with me, deplored the loss of the good old custom wherein the groom tend- ered a thousand sheep and goats and a hundred oxen to the father of the bride. “In the afternoon it was my privilege, in my capacity as correspondent for the Athenian Journal, to enter the bride’s chamber. I found her sitting nervously on a settle, being robed amid frequent sighs, in a yellow byssos chiton embroidered with 140 The Llamarada marigolds, and a mantle with open sleeves and pur- ple stripes. Nor did Melissa recover her nerve until the maid took the gawzy bridal veil from the clothes press, which was fragrant with citron and oranges, an excellent and inexpensive substitute for moth-balls. After the bride’s hair had been waved with a curling- iron, her mother fastened on her veil with gold cuff pins, one of which, (being dropped later on) I man- aged to secure as a souvenir. At that moment the bell rang, and the groom was announced. He carefully placed Melissa on the seat of the bridal car, between himself and the best man, and the mules started off at a brisk trot. I will not stop to describe the journey to the groom’s home, the need for frequent stops along the way, that their friends might shake hands with them,— nor how, as they entered the banquet hall, they were greeted with a shower of small coins,— a few of which Socrates managed to pick up. The table was spread with great splendor — it was a rare treat to see so much silver and gold,— not a single plated article. The slaves served us with that quiet deftness found only in domestics of the best families. Of course, in place of common bread we partook of 4 vsT77 Ao£a, the ends of which we carelessly threw to the dogs. As soon as all peelings were cleared away and the finger basins passed around, it was time for the offering of libations. This, being of a convivial nature, I was forced to deprive myself of. And that I must leave you at this point is entirely due to the stringent regulations laid down for our editorial staff.” Volume VI WAY oft in the fields of velvety green A lopsided donkey a-grazing was seen. All day on alternate legs he stood; Chewing up grass for his physical good; When the sun went down deserting the day For his spiritual good did donkey say.— “ Let us bray.” 1 A FARCE AND CHORUS r CAST LUELLA B.

Now, girls, you mustn’t forget for an instant that this spread is not in honor of you but for my Aunt Asenath. She is coming up from Springfield, I know, for no other reason than to write and encourage mamma about how awfully cultured I’m getting. You see she feels sort of responsible for me while I’m in the East — and she was so worried last summer at Newport for fear I would get engaged to Sam Forsythe or somebody — Louise. Sam Forsythe, Criq.? Not the one you — Criq. Yes. The one. O I shall never forget how she called me to her room one night after she had chaperoned Sam and me to the hop, and said, “ Luella, my child”—I believe she always said “ my child” when she said “ Luella” — “my child, I hope you are not unduly encouraging that Forsythe per- son.” Encouraging him ! I should say I wasn’t. We had been engaged nearly two weeks then and I never had had to do so much discouraging in all my life. “O no indeed, Auntie,” I said, “I don’t need to.” “That is quite right, Luella,” she went on, “ for you know your parents have always considered a union with the Langhornes of Georgia as eagerly desired by the Langhornes as advisable for yourself. (Ring.) There! That’s the ring now. Ethel, will you see to this rarebit a minute? (Exit.) Volume VI 145 Ethel. I wonder why Tirzah hasn’t come ? Eleanor. I don’t know, but I think she’s help- ing Ivah entertain her Dartmouth friends. (Enter Criquette and Aunt Asenath.) Criq. Auntie, you met the girls the day you brought me. Here, Auntie, is a chair—just a min- ute. (Aside to Jane:) Help me, will you. (They throw innumerable articles out of the rocking chair.) Margaret. “Have we no cheers here Luella? Have we no cheers ? ” Aunt A. I should think it might be feasible to insert a few hooks into the walls on which to hang some of this apparel. Criq. O Auntie, do sit down ! We are all so used to it. We don’t mind a bit. (Nervously.) Is the rarebit done ? (Great confusion. Girls pass plates and forks as Criquette pours out the rarebit.) Lu. O Miss Stamps, let me take your bonnet and shawl—please— Aunt A. O no, no, no, no. I must wait and see ! I must wait and see. (Settles back in her chair and looks around critically.) Where are your book- shelves, your private library, Luella? Criq. Where are they! O right here, Auntie. Aunt A. Indeed! I should have said that was a refrigerator, Luella. Peg. A refrigerator—I’d like to know who’s the refrigerator here ! (Covered with pillows. Muf- fled applause, “ You’re right, there, Peggie !”) 146 The Llamarada Aunt A. (coldly surveying the commotion). And what game is this, may I ask, Luella? Your friends are most spirited—ah, yes, much more so than in my day, my dear—but really hardly calcu- lated to entertain a person of my mature years and reason. I should have liked very much to meet some of your faculty, with whom I might have car- ried on a little rational conversation. Why did you not invite them to meet me? Criq. There’s a faculty meeting to-night. They’re on the Seniors’ names. They’ve come down to the Ms. now. (Girls begin to sing “ Flunk, flunk, etc.”) Aunt A. (with asperity). O, doubtless there is some good reason for disregarding my preferences. (Enter girl, Belle, dressed as man for theatri- cals. Hailed with enthusiastic shouts.) Margaret. Just in time, Belle! How did the rehearsal go? Belle. O, glorious! Aunt A. (rising). For mercy’s sake, Luella, who is this person ? Criq. (nervously). O do sit down, do sit down, dear Aunt Asenath. It’s just one of my friends come in from rehearsal in the gym. (To Belle.) Never mind, Belle. Aunt A. One of your friends! Can it be possible, Luella, that you have chosen such associ- ates as this? (To Belle.) Young woman, it is some one’s Christian duty to write home to your mother. I am glad it is not mine. (Seats herself Volume VI 147 and fans.) However, my opinion of the college is being rapidly transformed. (Fans.) A glass of water, Luella. Criq. (handing her a pitcher). There aren’t any glasses, Auntie. I’m awfully sorry, but if this will — Aunt A. (waving it away). No, thank you, child. I would rather famish of thirst on the desert than go down to my grave drinking water out of a pitcher! Criq. (wildly). O, what shall I do? What will she think of us? Girls, you must remember that Aunt Asenath’s impression of the college to-day rests on us. Aunt A. (gathering her shawl around her). And so this is the culture you are gaining ! This is the training which is to fit you for the future. Where I expected to find an educated young woman at the feet of her instructors, I find instead a rabble of noisy children. (Rising.) I will remain no longer, Lu- ella. I am a check upon your mirth, boisterous as it is, even now. (Moving towards door.) Iam going up to Brigham Hall, a hushed and quiet spot, where I shall try to obtain permission for you to come to me on the following Sabbath. Criq. Very well, Auntie; as you like. I will call for you at half-past nine and take you over to the hotel. (Exit Aunt A.) Criq. (sinking on a couch). O girls, do fan me—I never spent such a miserable ten minutes in 148 The Llamarada my life—what do you suppose she’ll write home about us? Roxana. Never mind, Criq., dear. Ethel. She’s just an old prig, anyway. Lu. I’m glad she was shocked. (Knock. Voice: Here are two letters for you, Miss Hopkins.) Criq. (jumping up). One is from—O—from home. Girls, you must let me just peek into it. (Reads.) Well, what do you think Sam says! Louise. So Sam is visiting your parents in Utah, Criq. ? Criq. (tearing open other letter and reading). Well, of all the combinations — I — ever—heard. Girls, just listen. I’ll read the one from home first. My Dear Child :— I have just received a letter from our dear old family friend, Mrs. Judge Langhorne of Georgia. She writes that Chiswell entered Yale last month and expects to call upon you at Mount Holyoke in the near future. My child, I am sure I need only to remind you in this regard that a union between the Hoppkins and Langhornes was the accepted order five generations ago in England, and it is the desire of both your father and myself that you shall meet graciously the attentions of our friend’s son, whose family and settle- ment are all that can be desired. I know that our ideas on the matrimonial subject are English and not American, but we feel that they are founded on those rocks of money and 149 Volume VI family, the best in the end. Now, dear child, are your clothes in good order — black net — Your Very Loving Mother. O, I guess that’s all, on the subject. Now listen to this! New Haven, October 5th. M — m — m — 1 hope that-----you know dear------if you only would-----O, yes, here it is ! I have the most insuffer- able Freshman room-mate this fall that any man was ever caged with, Chiswell Dabney Langhorne, an unmitigated jay. He drives the men to drink with his eternal bragging about the stunts he has done, the girls he has won, and the fact that nobody ever has, can or will faze him. We are so tired of his everlasting howling on that “can’t be fazed” racket, that we would go to almost any length to just give him such a fazing for once as he will never get over. Can’t you help me out, dear? They say that if a man can be fazed nobody in the world can do it as a girl can, and as you can, Criq., I know. If I send him up to you with cards of intro- duction, can’t you and those friends of yours you’re always raving about, manage to do him? If you can, I will be eter- nally yours, as I am anyway, and — O ! well —that’s all there is to it really. Louise. Criq. Hoppkins, can I believe my ears? Did you say that Freshman’s name was Chis- well Langhorne? Criq. Yes. Why — why? Louise. Does he come from Savannah, Georgia ? Criq. Yes — do hurry up. The Llamarada I5° Louise. O nothing, only you evidently have forgotten that I live there myself. Criq. Tell me about him quick—Louise ! Louise. What your Sam says about him is just true, that’s all. lie is positively the biggest cad I ever knew, always bragging about just what Mr. Forsythe says he is — the girls who like him and the fact that you-can’t-faze-him. (Bell.) Jane. Well, what are you going to do? Ethel. What are you going to do, Criq.? Criq. Girls, I have an idea. I will have him up. You know Luella Mary Hopkins, the faculty, whose letters are always being mixed up with mine? Eleanor. Yes; well, what — Peg. O I know, I know ! You are going to send him to — Criq. (nodding). Luella Mary Hopkins, in- stead of myself, Luella B. Just that exactly. I will answer the door that night and take his card myself to Miss Hopkins. Ethel. But how can she receive him on Sam’s introduction if she doesn’t know Sam? Criq. She knows Sam ! She chaperoned us last week on a drive to Old Hadley, and I will ex- plain to her reasons why Sam thinks they would like to meet and I’ll tell Sam the reasons. Margaret. And he’ll explain to Langhorne? Criq. Exactly! Ethel. How do you know when to look for his card ? Volume VI IS Criq. Why, I’ll have Miss Hopkins give Sam a Definite evening to send him up. Louise. Criq., you’re just a winner! Can’t you see him doing the pretty for Luella M. because papa and mamma want him to win Luella B. ? How the Yale men will Eternally guy him. (Bell.) (The girls put on sailor hats.) Lu. O, Cis, before we go, let’s sing that song of yours, “The Man Who Can’t Be Fazed.” (Tune, “The Lady with the Auburn Hair,” Criq. Hoppkins, stands in front, the eight chorus girls behind her, four on each side, and sings the verse alone, the eight girls joining in the chorus. Both verse and chorus to be acted and appropriate steps taken during chorus.) O once I knew a man— a haughty college man was he, Who always said, you can’t faze me ! When invited here to dine, he said the grace and carved the meat And chatted with the fa-cul-ty. When introduced to ninety-seven Holyoke girls, lie could call them all bv name. He rowed our boats — they’re eight feet long by seven wide — And offered to go round again. You — can’t — faze — him ! Cho. The college man who can’t be fazed, He thinks he’s a great sensation. The college man who can’t be fazed, Just thinks he owns creation, For he cert’ny is the kind that goes. He’s happy everywhere, For he can’t be raised Since he can’t be fazed, One of him is always there. Curtaiji. 152 The Llamarada ACT II «T Scene: — Typical Yale room. Harper, Wagner, Lodge and Forsythe in various distinctly col- lege attitudes. Forsythe. I say, Tom, have you been to many of the girls’ colleges? Harper. Used to have a sister at Wellesley — graduated my freshman year, you know, and I ran out pretty often then. Wagner. Come back to get her Pli.D. since then I suppose, eh ? I observe you still go down there pretty often. Harper. No, came back as assistant in bac- teriology. Lodge. O, you’ll do, Harper ! Harper. Do what? Forsythe. Went up to Holyoke the other day, and had an immense time. Girl took me all around the buildings. We went to the library or annex or something first. I suppose she took me there so that I would have all my manly pride knocked out on the first round. (Rising and filling pipe.) I must have been crazy — Harper. Don’t startle us, Forsythe. Forsythe. I must have been crazy, I say, for I thought I was in an aviary and heard the birdlets chirping all around me, else they were out doors, so I bawled in my ordinary tone, “ They sound like Volume VI 153 spring, don’t they?” whereat about a hundred and forty girls around the tables jumped afoot and began to giggle like idiots. “ O, Sam, you must whisper,” said the girl I was with — Lodge. Who did you say that girl was, For- sythe ? Wagner. You ought to know. (To Lodge.) Forsythe. “Shut up, Sam, you must whisper,” she said. Of course 1 was delighted. “ Whisper what, dear?” 1 answered tenderly. Just then I felt somebody’s arm stealthily glide around my waist and when I saw it wasn’t Criq. I fairly bolted. Did you ever go to their gym., Lodge? Lodge. I don’t know, I think so. It was the coldest hole 1 was ever in, and no apparatus in sight at all. I don’t see what they find to do there unless they climb the walls. Forsythe. You idiot, that was their rink. Lodge. What 1 A roller skating rink at this date in the century? They must be slow. Perhaps they put ice on it though in winter. Forsythe. Maybe they do. I guess you must have been there some time in the ’4o’s, anyway, Lodge. They have a first rate gym now and a fine shooting gallery. But I got in there under rather embarassing circumstances. Wagner. What ? Forsythe. Yes. You see I wandered aimlessly in there one morning while my sister was at recita- tions. No one seemed to be alive around there and I was quietly trying the rowing-machine when two or 154 The Llamarada three hundred girls in bloomers and things charged down some little stairs by the stage. Lodge. Must have taken some time for so large a number to file down. Forsythe. O, not so long. One of them — she was a blonde, with an awfully nice face — walked up to me gravely and said, “There was to be no exhibition this morning,” or something like that. Of course I disentangled myself from the blooming machine as rapidly as I could and wondered if she meant I wasn’t to give the exhibition. But I needn’t have blushed so furiously— Lodge (groaning). O! Forsythe! Forsythe. For every last girl was off from the floor before 1 could rise gracefully from my seat. I thanked the sweet blonde and—went out. Harper. I don’t see how you could have done anything else neatly, under the circumstances. (Knock.) Forsythe. Come. Alan (sticking head in door, bawls). Now, I was sent by Mr. Langhorne, in case he shouldn’t come up, to tell Mr. Forsythe as how he was going to entertain some of his friends in your room this evening. Forsythe. Fellows, that Freshman room-mate of mine will kill me yet. So Chisy has invited some of his little play-mates up in our rooms to-night, just when I had planned to show Miss Hoppkins’ cousin and her mother the rooms. By Jove, they can’t come here ! (Rises and walks up and down.) O who I55 Volume VI « will rid me of the childish gambols of Chiswell Lang- horn e ? Harper. He certainly is the most unmitigated cad that ever made a man’s life a nightmare. I say, fellows, can’t we do something about it? Lodge. I saw him trying to patronize even poor Prexy last Sunday. Walked up and gave him the brotherly glad hand, you know, and told him brightly how much he enjoyed the address. Wagner. O that was a lamb-like thing for Langhorne to do! Forsythe (who has been looking over a letter). Well, I have had a little plan suggested to me on this last mail, and guess I will submit it to your approval. Perhaps you know Miss Hoppkins? Chorus. O yes, Sammie, we know Miss Hopp- kins — Lodge. Or at least nineteen pictures of her. Forsythe. Well, Miss Hoppkins tells me that Chiswell’s and her own people were old friends in England and the two families have always had the idea that Chiswell and—Miss Hoppkins might marry—there was a marriage a few generations back, 1 believe. They haven’t seen each other since they were mere children. Well, she has a young friend on the faculty up there, whose name is identi- cal with Criq.’s, except the middle initial, I think Criq.’s being Luella B. and hers Luella M. Criq. says, provided I send him up she will see that dear Chisy’s card is taken to Luella M., who will prob- ably lead him gently on, and you know the lobster The Llamarada J56 loves to brag about nothing so much as his affaires du coeur. (Approaching steps outside.) O, there he comes now. (Enter Langhorne. Takes off his hat and gloves, yawning). How de do, boys; I found I could get around aftah all. (Sits down.) O, really you must excuse me if I seem a trifle weary, but I stayed so late persuading queens to cut dahnces for meh at the Assembly last night, I have rather a mawning head. Lodge (growling). Bet it took you till morn- ing to accomplish anything like that. Langhorne. Beg pawdon, Lawdge? Forsythe (taking out card and writing some- thing on it, hands it to him and draws up a chair at his side). O, by the way, Langhorne, since you are such a lady killer I thought I really ought to give you half a chance with a queen I met a few times at Newport last summer and who is now at Holyoke. Miss Hoppkins. You may have heard me speak of her, though probably not. Langhorne. O, I wish I had more time, really. Hoppkins, did you say? Forsythe. Yes, Hoppkins, Miss Hoppkins, Miss Luella — Langhorne. Miss what! Not Miss Luella Hoppkins! Forsythe. Miss Luella Hoppkins. What’s the matter, you jay? Langhorne (apparently immensely tickled). O, Volume VI 57 nothing, me deah boy, nothing. You honah meh I’m suah. Forsythe. O, don’t speak of it, Chisy. So you think you may go? Langhoryie. Why, yaas, — I think I will. Forsythe. Well, right here, let me give you a point or two, Langhorne — Langhorne. Ya-a-s!— Forsythe. —that I think you may find of bene- fit. Miss Hoppkins will probably appear to be a great many things that she really is not. For in- stance, now, a casual observer might say she is about thirty. Now, between you and me, I know Miss Hoppkins and she is not a day over nineteen. She will also probably pretend that she has never seen Salt Lake City, when in reality she was brought up there. You see she doesn’t like to admit having known the Roberts family. Lodge. O, I say, Forsythe! Forsythe. She is very reserved and will not willingly give you the impression that she is full of fun, you know, and really likes men awfully and has known lots of them well. You must take all that for granted. And right here let me enjoin upon you, Langhorne, to say nothing about me, except as intro- ducing yourself. You will do well, though, to re- mind her of past incidents, in a very vague way, such as the time she umpired the ball game at Harper’s Seminary, and the time she kissed a Mr. Ballinger at the Berzilius cotillion. (Takes out watch.) 158 The Llamarada Eleven o’clock. Good-bye, Chisy, and don’t forget what mamma said. {Exit.) Langhorne (now roars). O, this is too good ! Too good ! Wagner. What on earth’s the matter, Lang- horne? You seem immensely pleased by something. Langhorne (walking around and rubbing his hands). Pleased! Best joke out. Why, (confi- dentially, and walking toward f.) why, the fact is I shall probably marry this Miss Hoppkins! Wagner. Marry her ! Lodge. Marry her ! Harper. Poor girl. Langhorne. You see it’s just this way. For- sythe, heah, has given meh a cahd of introduction to the girl, whose parents wish meh to — ah — have always, for generations expected meh to — ah — per- petuate the union of the two families in marriage ! Harper. And where do these aged parents reside, Langhorne? Langhorne. In Salt Lake, Utah. Wagner. How very fortunate for you, Lang- horne. You will then be able to make several of the girls now pining for you, the happy woman. Langhorne. O, really you know, meh deah boys, it is not a jest. I have been intending to run up to Holyoke ever since I came up to Yale. I haven’t had the pleasure of seeing Miss Hoppkins since I was too small to know it, the families living on opposite sides of the states, don’t you see? Volume VI 159 Lodge. O, exactly. (Laughing.) Then it is an excellent joke on Forsythe, isn’t it? Langhorne (rubbing his hands). O, excellent, excellent. I can see huh now, yielding little by lit- tle to the irresistible chahm I always have for girls, until finally I heah huh say—(waltz music until after curtain drops, Langhorne holding out his hands) — Yes, — Chiswell, — I confess — I love you!

Girls, Sam’s and my wildest dreams are being realized! Chiswell has been up to call on Miss Luella Hopkins five times this month. You see the best of it is, when papa and mamma see what a jay he has been they will sigh no more for — “a union between the Langhornes and the Hoppkins 1 ” Of course it has come to be an understood thing that Chiswell’s card should go to the older Miss Hopkins. D’ you know, I really can’t make out what she thinks of him. Sometimes, that she thinks him raving crazy, and sometimes that she is-making-an-experi- ment-of-him-for-her-psychology ! Eleanor. A psychological experiment? Criq. Yes, sir; 1 shouldn’t be surprised at all to see Chiswell come out in the Psychology Review under “ Mental Pathology.” Margaret. I can just see it, “ Incidents that have come under my attention. L. M. H.” Jayie. Well, I hope all the Yale men aren’t subjects for psychological experiments. Criq. Well, I guess not! Speaking of the weak-minded what do you think of the Dartmouth man’s remark when he saw the pictures of the 2S United States presidents in Miss Soule’s class room? Ja?ie. What was it? Criq.

You don’t mean — Forsythe. Now whom would I mean but Chis- well Dabney Langhorne. (They sit down two on seat at L. of screen.) You see, I told him this morn- ing I was going down to New York. Result, Chis- well came to Holyoke. Just my luck to board the same train with him at New Haven this afternoon, where 1 walked back through the train and slipped off the end coach at Springfield. Buy a ticket? I should say I didn’t. Got off the opposite end of the platform in Holyoke, waited over a car and missed a half hour with you just to avoid explanations and misunderstandings with that cad. Now, I presume he’s at the hotel. O, Langhorne is a thorough fusser ! Criq. Well, rest in peace now, for the faculty don’t entertain their thronging callers in the students’ parlors—(ring) — O, listen! (Voice: This way, please, Mr. Langhorne.) (Enter Langhorne. Looking about.) Langhorne. This is not the room in which I have met Luella heah-to-foah. I see theah is an old pahty calling across the hall, Ah, I hope the change is auspicious of the change to come in the sadly altered fortunes of the Langhornes of Geogia ! Ah — where is that letter? Let me read it once moah. (Reads.) “Ouah deah son must beah bravely the 164 The Llamarada news that we have lost nearly all ouah money. We have only one hope of salvation — who could that be but ouah boy, ouah Chiswell ? ” — annoying —ya-as — but who, else, indeed?” — We are gratified by youah repohted progress with the daughter of that fine old family, the Iloppkins, who not knowing as yet of ouah loss of fortune, still 1 am suah, desire a union with the Langhorne’s of Ga. Chiswell, for the sake of your family lose not a moment in winning the hand of Luella Iloppkins.” Good heavens ! I must nerve me to the attack. I am really (looking around) afraid of that woman. She is actually inscrutable, you know. Sometimes she seems perfectly furious with me, sometimes regards me with the most intense interest, and sometimes — well, if I were anyone but Chiswell Dabney Langhorne — I should say she was — almost—laughing at me. (Sam. O, no, no ! Chiswell.) (Crip. Hush!) Langhorne. I’m glad old Forsythe has gone to New York. Between that New York girl of his — (Sam. That New York girl?) — and his Holyoke aunt—(Criq.

O, throw aside this veil of assumed reserve and be your merry girlish self for just one night! M. H. (withdrawing). My girlish self, Mr. Langhorne, I am perfectly frank to admit, is a back number—altho (flattered) I am not wholly surprised or displeased that you should not have realized it. Langhorne (eagerly). Already you are more yourself, dear Luella. (Briskly, aside.) Now if I can only keep it up along these lines. (To Miss H.) You must know, dear, you must have been told, that you and I have always been intended for each other — meant to marry — M. H. Yes. (Frigidly.) (Getting out note book again.) I’ve heard of that philosophy before. Langhorne (jumping up and speaking aside). Time is passing and I am getting nowhere — or rather, everywhere. Is that what it is to be rattled? (Sam. At last! You have done this for me, Criq. !) (Criq. Hush!) I anghorne (turning suddenly). I say, Luella, Volume VI 167 if you could kiss that man at the Berzilius cotillion, why can’t you kiss me? M. H. (pitifully, rising). To what do you refer, poor Mr. Langhorne ? Hadn’t you better sit down before you try to tell me? (Langhorne drops into a chair, buries his face in his hands and groans.) {Forsythe. I say, Criq., isn’t this getting too serious?) {Criq. O, nonsense! You were always afraid of a crisis. Listen ! Else you wouldn’t have such a time proposing to me.) M. H. (bringing L.’s hat and coat). May I help you, Mr. Langhorne? Langhorne (jumping up). Great Scott, woman, I’m not crazy! M. H. (gently). No, indeed, I am sure you are not. Your right arm, please. Langhorne. (Aside. Now, for one last clutch at the straw.) (To M. H.)

Well, Forsythe came over to my room Wednesday morning, after he had been up to Hol- yoke to see his adored Hoppkins, the night before, and it seems that Chisy had happened up there at the same time. Forsythe was in the room, behind some palm or something, where he couldn’t get out — he didn’t make that very clear — and Chisy walks in and proposes, actually does propose to Luella Mary Hop- kins, who was taking notes off from him (laughing) all the while for some blooming magazine or other. Well, it quite fussed Forsythe — really an awfully kind-hearted sort of chap, you know — he didn’t think it would have gone so far as that, before he had had a chance to play another card, don’t you see? So he and the clever little Hoppkins planned on the spot for Luella Mary to chaperone the little girl down to the game, this morning. (Pause.) Forsythe thinks it will clear itself up nicely when Langhorne meets the two. Wagner. I don’t see how, myself. Lodge. Well, neither do I. I think the little Hoppkins has more straight mischief in her than ever Forsythe realizes, and knows very well what she’s doing. But you see Forsythe says Chisy didn’t know he was in the room that night, and of course he can’t drop explanations for nothing out of a clear sky. Harper. So Forsythe is going to bring them all up here this morning? The Llamarada 170 Lodge. Y-e-s. Great Scott! I think I hear them coming. Let’s get out. Your necktie’s up, Wag.

But, O, Chis- well, we are so pleased at your success with Miss Hoppkins. I told Dabney you would save the family : (turning around) Oh, is it possible that that sweet young thing is she? Chiswell, why haven’t you in- troduced me to your friends? Let me meet them at once ! M. H. (walking up to the side of Mrs. Langhorne). Mrs. Langhome, please allow me to introduce myself without delay as Miss Hopkins one of the corresponding editors of the Psychology Review (gives her a card). Your son, Mrs. Langhorne, is suffering from an intensly interesting case of tierce- clyptiated apochapsioses. Any additional data you can give me — Mrs. Langhorne (looks first at Miss Hopkins, then at Chiswell). Chiswell, who is this person? Langhorne. Mamma, she is Miss Hopkins — Mrs. Langhorne.

I beg your pardon, Chiswell, for in- truding, but don’t you see you have probably been calling upon the wrong — ah—the wrong Miss Hoppkins ? Forsythe. O, I say, Chiswell I’m sorry you made that mistake and I’m sorry I was in the room that night — for I was you know — and I hadn’t planned it really — Langhorne. Planned that? You — Criq. Please don’t be too hard on Mr. Forsythe, my dear Mr. Langhorne. It is quite as much my fault as his — it is always going to be—that is — we are engaged you know ! Langhorne. Engaged!

O once I knew a man—a haughty college man was he — Who always said “ You can’t faze me ! ” But I knew a girl as well, she was a clever college girl, And he said to her — • You c’n have me.” What she replied, he never told in confidence, But he gave it all away, For last night he was heard to say, “ O’Donahue, I can — never — more — say ‘ You-can’t-faze-me ! ’ ” Cho. The college man who can’t be fazed, He thinks lie’s a great sensation. The college man who can’t be fazed, Just thinks he owns creation. For he cert’ny is the kind that goes, He’s happy everywhere. For he cant be raised Since he can’t be fazed, One of him is always there. Curtain. (Music.) 174 The Llamarada THIS tuneful wail bears the sentiments of many a heart—even of her who of late mourn- fully inquired, “What is the central idea of Alary had a little lamb.” 4 I cannot read the old songs, They're wholly spoiled for me, There’s a little ogre lurking In every book I see. I cannot read the old songs, Their pages as I ope I find myself a’ asking Now is this thing a trope? And what about the diction The figures and convention, The conception, feeling, purpose, Things too numerous to mention? I cannot read the old songs, (Pray don’t think this a witticism), I’m haunted by the duty Of scientific criticism. Volume VI 175 AT the earnest Request of Friends, The Llama- rada Board has at last consented to Compile and Publish a Catalogue of Books for instruc- tive and general Reading. Owing to the great Demand for our Edition, we have decided to Present this partial List, that the Public need not Remain idle and uninstructed while the Remainder is in Preparation. if if A Partial Catalogue of Books Published by THE LLAMARADA BOARD if Blake’s Songs of Insanity. New edition arranged by S. Demarest. The revised introduction con- tains a summary of development of Romantic literature through the poets of the Grave-yard School. Great Men Who Have Known Me. By Jean Dean Cole. This first edition of reminiscences is published at the urgent request of the public, and The Llamarada Board congratulates the public upon its success. A Midnight Awakening. By Eleanor Long, In this volume the familiar corridors of Rockefeller Hall are again the scene of action and passion. 176 The Llamarada The Place of Sentiment in Life. By Osgood. The New Psychology. By Hunt. These volumes present the two phases of college psy- chical life, feeling and intellection. How to Stand. By Belle Mead, Prof, of Calis- thenics and private tutor to the underclass-men in her Alma Mater. Interpretations of Job. By Smith, Curtis, and Kendall. This ancient poem long considered dramatic in structure is here clearly proved to be a u Ras-po-dy.” (Mention is made of this in detail). My Barrel of Apples. By C. M. C. A good book for summer reading at Wood’s IIoll. Shakespeare Revised. A new edition carefully rewritten in accordance with modern ideals of dramatic art, by M. Canada. The South Hadley Guide Book. Dedicated to Miss Florence Wilder by the Llamarada Board. The need of such a work was recognized on the night of the Board’s first meeting. The Editor- in-Chief had lost her way while out driving, and the under editors, waiting in anxiety, planned these chapters. Volume VI 177 WILL some One who knows please tell Us — Whom is Elizabeth Dunning and whom did Cora Hitt? Is Mary very Wise and isn’t Ethel Green? Can Edith Huntington Read? We know Eva is Gay but is Edith Wild and is Florence still Wilder? Whom did Laura Chase and whom did Harriet Dodge? Is Louise Hale and Howe is Grace? Oh, who is Leona’s Ladd and who is Flor- ence’s Mann? At what late hour was Laura Rising? Was it when Lavinia Rose? 178 The Llamarada PLEASE don’t think we hint — we do not, or point morals—we despise them. We give plain facts and let readers draw their own con- clusions. Nevertheless this is a moral tale. NERVE. FOOD THERE’S a bottle stands without the door Of our dear Library, The name upon its label Has oft appeared to me, “ Nerve Food ” it’s called ; it’s uses Are manifold, you’ll see. Miss Barker uses it I’m sure ’most every day before She goes into the Library Where for three hours or more She sticketh to a single book That’s wanted by a score. And Clintie Curtis uses it, For with a careless air She wanders round and gathers up A volume here and there. Her table seems a castle high Piled round that lady fair. Volume VI 179 And Ethel Osgood uses it, Or else I’m sure that she Regards the library as meant A rendezvous to be For social conversations And gay society. And other people use it too, (But some we may not name), And some who none of these things do Imbibe it just the same To help them bear some “mild reproofs” For which they’re not to blame ! The Llamarada ME.NTAL SHARK WHOSE knowledge comes in chunks. Who never goes off on a lark, What can she know of flunks? I met a little college girl, Eighteen years old she said : Her hair was sadlv out of curl ft And grew upon her head. She had a worried anxious air. And she was shirt waist clad, A fountain pen was in her hair; She made her teachers glad. “ Students of Gothic, little maid, How many may you be?” “ How many? eleven in all” she said And wondering looked at me. “ And where are they, I pray you tell?” She answered, “ Eleven in all; And two of us at Brigham dwell And three in Pearson’s Hall And two of us at Porter live, But four are gone away: And I was told,”— her eyes were wild — “ They took too much to play.” “ Why four were flunked, my little friend, And you are now' but seven.” But still the child would have her way, And said, “ We are eleven.” “ But they are flunked, those four are flunked, And now you are but seven.” Twas throwing words away, for still The little maid w’ould have he: will And said, “ We are eleven.” Volume VI iSi U X 0Oy Mr 9 40't ca� ■ «■ -t t- A JJ 4 Poi?«5 fo0 tsz £7 i ol A 5 £m Let 45 2 1?£a Afy ftilffc V0 t f - A OaC6 e?ea, 2 7T V n erfcj JdOlVi. e [£ $ %J s MftJo '? $ wat iV y j ,v v P - Volume VI i M E M O R Y E.
