When they reached the fifth or sixth limb they were joined by Katharine Pratt and Priscilla Brown. The next year Marjorie Lowman came, and then Katharine Hauck and Helen Payne. These were all valuable additions to the original two, HI nr- 15 and we now reverence these seven as the pioneers of the class. These youngsters, hand in hand, year by year, mounted upward into the intermediate branches to- ward the first star of their ambitions, the Freshman Class. In 1910 came the Renaissance period, when the seven, with Laura Graham, who had entered the year before, entered their Freshman year. As I have said beforettetdirect quotation from Caesar, therefore good referencetein 1910 the Renaissance began. There was a marked advance- ment in the works of the time, both literary and artistic. There was quite a change, too, in the ar- rangement of hair and the length of skirts. This year, Violet Twachtman and Katharine Wright came into history. Violets career was short and sweet, for before many months she had to bid farewell to her sorrowing companions and move away. Not so With Katharine Wright. She moved away, ttis true, but she has come back every year since as a boarder. During the Freshman period these girls developed the art of giggling to a high degree. Helen Payne, Katharines Hauck, Ernst, and Wright and Priscilla Brown all through their school career have been fa- mous for this. They giggled on many occasions and frequently ended in the hall, because they shook the tree of knowledge too much. I must now drop the official gigglers and turn your attention to Marjorie Lowman. At a tender age the dear child showed a strong regard for fresh air. This regard grew so vital with her that she be- came a veritable Major Ozone, whose first thought on entering a room is for the windows. We feel that it will go with her through life, and that after attain- ing the topmost limb of the tree of knowledge, she will be wafted forth on the zephyrs. At the end of this year, all the Freshies carried bouquets for the Senior Commencement. This was the last of the Freshmen events. In 1911 and 112, the Sophomore period, Margaret Windisch and Sarah Oliver added their divine pres- ences to our number. With Margaret came a marked advancement in the art of the day. Many examples of her drawing are still, after these many years, to be found thoughout the school, especially in the Mathematics Department. Sarah Oliver was a precocious youngster in whose presence it was dangerous to use slang. The dear child disapproved so heartily. She was one of those favored mortar endowed with a bright mind and the power to wiggle her ears. She was likewise quite an addition to the Gigglers' Club. By the end of the Sophomore period hair ribbons were an unknown quantity, and shoe tops seldom to be seen. In 1911 and 12, the Junior year, while the class were swinging from bough to bough three-fourths of the way up the tree, Katharine V., surname Schell, 16 came into prominence and settled the fact that the class name was certainly Katharine. She also as- tounded the class with her ready-on-the-dot history, and likewise ready-on-the-dot jokes and puns. One fine day in the first of the Junior year, small Windyii Sherrill ioriginal name Jeannettei appeared on the horizon from the state which has sent so many pretty girls to Oakhurst and elsewhere, Kentucky. My, you could listen to that girl talk for hours. Hannah Workum and Margaret Windisch stand as shining lights in mathematics. All through our career we, the rest of us, have tnotl been noted for our mathematical brains. In 1913 the poor thirteen of us tioundered through Geometry, only saved at last by the life preservers Which Miss Fox threw to us. 1913 and '14. With the dawning of this last period of our his- tory, the Senior year, a slight reformation seemed evident. The faces of all were a little more pur- poseful. This time all hair was fastened up and the skirts clung tightly around the ankles, save where slits gave a slight freedom to the step. This last year Susan Semple came to graduate with us, the last but not least of the fourteen. If Oakhurst had a daisy chain, black-eyed Susan would certainly go into it. The Senior year began with many good resolu- tionsefor the Freshmen. After several parliament- ary meetings on the part of the Seniors, these resolu- tions were set down in ten laws and posted in the main hall. They were exceptionally good rules. Yes, indeed, but they caused, strange to say, much rebellion, and for several days the Seniors actually had to block the front door to keep the impudent Freshmen from entering at the Senior entrance. They became expert, too, at taking down disapproved hair and snatching off broad girdles. It was plain that an army was needed to keep order, and as none was forthcoming, the laws had to be modified. To what noble and lofty height their Freshnesses might have risen some day if only they had abided by those simple rules, will never be known. Now, together, we have almost reached the top of our oak tree. Somehow we don't feel so eager to graduateeto jump out into the air and swing to whatever branch we come. There is a grateful feel- ing and a love deep rooted in the oak tree, and, like Peter Pan, we shall always love it and wish to go back to it, that is, to Miss Kendrick, our faculty and the spirit of our Alma Mater. THE CLASS HISTORIAN, 1914. 17 ATE one evening I settled myself com- fortably back in a Morris chair with my '- I History book in my hand to prepare for an examination on the following day. I read far into the night, not realiz- ing how late it really was, for Washington had started to cross the Delaware, and it was far too interesting to give up. I read and read until at last everything seemed to grow very vague, the room became misty and queer. Suddenly I heard a low rumbling sound which seemed to get louder and louder. I j umped up, only to tind, to my utter amazement, a queer little man standing before me. He was altogether unlike any human being 1 had ever seen. He was very small and plump, his long ROPHECY OF 18 w ; beard and hair giving him rather a ferocious appear- ance. His little suit of green which fitted him so closely was topped off with a small jacket of leather which matched his pointed slippers and hat. I was too frightened to speak, but, taking 011' his hat and bowing very low, the little man said that he had heard that I had many years back been a mem- ber of the Class of 1914 at the Oakhurst Collegiate School, and that he had something in his possession which he thought would greatly interest me. So saying, he took me by the hand and imme- diately I found myself transported into a grove which I had never before seen. The trees were heavy foli- aged, their branches meeting above, so that the twink- ling of the stars could scarcely be seen. The lovely paths which wound in and out of the grove were bor- dered with liowers of every hue. So enthusiastic was I that I completely forgot that as yet I did not know what I was to see and had not even inquired. So far the little man had volunteered no informa- tion, and I was on the point of inquiring about our whereabouts, when he suddenly stopped in front of a wall apparently of stone, but which was covered with vines so thick and heavy that not a stone could be seen. To this the little man walked quickly, and, pushing aside some of the vines, disclosed, to my amazement, a very small door. Into this he put a long golden key, whereupon the door swung open. Step- ping aside, he signaled to me to pass through, and I entered into a wonderful cave. For the first few moments I was stunned by the wonder of my sur- roundings. There were piles of gold, beautiful cas- kets of every description, filled with precious gems and jewels, curios from all lands, besides many robes of beautiful silks and satins, and other wonderful things too numerous to mention, with which the cave was filled. But still I wondered Why my strange guide had brought me to the cave, until finally he came towards me and led me to a curiously carved old chest into which he told me to look. I complied With his request, very willingly looking at the many antiques and jewels which it contained. At the bot- tom I noticed a scroll or manuscript which I was about to toss carelessly aside, when the ribbons with which it was tied caught my eye. Yes, there they were, the wonderful gold and blue, the colors of the Class of 1914. Upon examining the scroll more 19 closely, I saw that the title inscribed on it was, Quickly snatching it up, I rushed nearer to one of the amber-colored lights which glowed from the walls of the cave, so as to see it more closely. Yes, there it was, written by the pen of my dear old class- mate, Kitty Wright. In brief, the contents of this historic scroll were as follows: The author herself, it seems, had gone to college from which she had been graduated, and had then started on her literary career. She had already written several well-known books, and a few plays, pronounced by the critics to be of especial merit. one of which was a musical comedy in which Miss Katherine Schell, the well-known prima donna. had sung herself into fame one night. The play was first produced in Paris, and on the night of its premiere, as the playwright and prima donna were leaving the theater together, they heard a familiar voice. Turn- ing, they saw Margaret W., who was in Paris con- ducting parties of tourists around to the neighboring Chateaux and towns. These parties had grown so large that Margaret had at last bought a rubber- neck wagon, from which she called out, through a megaphone, all the places of interest. In this occu- pation Margaret had continued for many years, as she found it both interesting and profitable, despite the fact that it was a great strain on her voice. Finally, after a successful tour abroad with their musical success, the playwright and prima donna returned to their native soil. On the day of their arrival they decided to attend the theater where a famous dancer was appearing who was creating quite a furor. Much to their surprise, the danseuse proved to be none other than their old friend, Helen. After witnessing her wonderful interpretation of the tem- sichorean art, they awaited their friend in the lobby, and all three adjourned to an attractive tea room which they understood was in charge of a Vassar graduate. There, gliding about the rooms to see that her patrons were well cared for, was the charming Hannah, who had graduated from Vassar with high honors in Domestic Science. In the midst of their delicious repast a great commotion was heard from without. In rushing to the door, the first words that greeted their ears were, iiWhy should not women vote? Lo and behold! there stood Sarah, standing on a soap box addressing an eager, shouting multi- tude, and wearing the royal yellow and white. Again and again we heard that silver voice demand, Why should not women vote '2 After assisting in the vociferous applause, our trio hurried on to catch the train for West Point, where their play was booked for the following night. Upon their arrival, as they were being driven to their hotel, they passed a beautiful home, on the piazza of which was seated a handsome young officer and his wife. Our friends were attracted first by the number of dachshunds gamboling about on the lawn. Upon further observation we found it was none other than our old friend, Kitty Hauck, who had realized her fondest hope and was living in West Point. She had visiting her Miss Susan Semple, who had joined the galaxy of rosebuds soon after graduating, and during 20 her visit with Kitty was slowly but surely causing many heartaches among the gay and debonair West Pointers. After leaving West Point, the travelers' next stop was Boston. As they had many hours of leisure in that delightful, historical spot, they planned to view some of the points of interest. There was pointed out to them a young ladies seminary con- ducted by Miss Katharine Pratt, who had gained world-wide fame by discovering the fourth dimen- sion. With her was one of her old classmates whom the noted psychologists had under observation, try- ing to discover how many words it was possible for a human being to say in a second. It was none other than 'iWindy Sherrill, whose rapidity of speech was the envy of auctioneers and book agents. Later in the day, while shopping, they ran into Laura, who had arrived at fame and fortune by the invention of the celebrated isGraham Instantaneous Hair Curlers. Their next booking was at Oxford, that delightful little Ohio college town of which their old friend, Prissy, always so loyal to Oxford, was the registrar. From Oxford they went to their school town, Cin- cinnati, where the week was spent in renewing old friendships. One of the first to greet them was their dear Kitty Ernst, who was very charming in her latest Parisian togs. Kitty was happily married, and was mistress of a home noted for its art treasures, which had been collected in many tours of the world. One of their interesting visits in Cincinnati was to what was described as the latest innovation in riding schools, conducted by the famous equestrienne, Marj. Lowman, always a lover of fresh air, whose arena was well equipped with tanks of ozone which discharged automatically volumes of fresh air every half minute. Here the interesting document ended, and I fell To Oakhurst and the memories Of the schoolgirl days we've spent Within her sacred walls, Gaining knowledge as we went, Unfailingly our eyes shall turn, Be we east or west, And to win for Oakhurst glory Shall be the Fourteents quest. 21 into deep meditation over what I had read. When I looked up again. the wonderful cave had disappeared, and I found myself once more in my cozy chair at home, with my history book in my hand. CLASS PROPHET - HELEN PAYNE.

The Gym was attractively decorated with boughs of autumn leaves, and from spooky corners grinning J ack-ot-lanterns peeped out. The floor was strewn with brown leaves, and, with the witches and ghosts gliding about in the dim light, the effect was most weird and fantastic. In two corners of the room, in a bower of colored leaves, were tables temptingly laden with mounds of fruits, nuts, pies, doughnuts, gingerbread, cakes, candies and jugs of the Halloween beverage tcider D. If the Seniors fail to recall the beauty of the decora- tions, they will at least remember in detail the afore- said refreshments. These passed rapidly into ob- scurity, but not into utter forgetfulness. The most important feature of the evening was the play, written by our illustrious classmate, Frances Harmon, A Comedy of Errors twith apologies to Shakespearet, With the following cast: CHARACTERS.

The plot was extremely clever and all the parts well played, so that we regret it could not have been given to a larger audience. The pleasant comedy, however, was rather tragic- ally ended by the convulsions of one of the laughing pumpkins, whose sides shook so that he slightly scorched them. Miss Florence played the part of the heroine, but in attempting to quench the fire, her bucket of water completely submerged K. W. instead of the fatal pumpkin. When the dancing began afterwards, ttwas a merry scene, everyone taking part, stopping only for cider. By the way, there were several of the guests who can testify to the strength of the cider tfor in- stance, Miss E. FD Most of the faculty were present and a number of the mothers, who added much to the enj oyment of the evening. We are sorry to say, that, owing to absence from the city, Miss Kendrick could not be present. There were many unique costumes, and these gave a gay aspect to the otherwise somber room. Every- one departed in lively spirits, and if anyone dreamed of toads and goblins, let him blame the Halloween spirit and not the Juniors' refreshments. E. R. K. and M. T. B. 28 CLASS COLORS. .

MILDREDeGirIs, the Seniors are having such a time with their annual I thought it would be a good idea to start ours, Now, someone please offer a quiet suggestion. LUCY - I tell you. Let's have every girl in school write a story, a poem and a play. They can draw some dear little illustrations, too. Of course, they wonlt mind, and it never takes up very much of their time. SARA e I am going to write a novel, and I promise to cut it down to three hundred pages. That will be a mere short story, but I suppose youlll have to leave room for some of the things that the other people are going to write. 30 NATALIEeYes, Sara, it would be very kind of you to let someone else write something. Now, I thing it would be a good idea to give a play, say some- thing simple like the Sunshine Girl, and rent a hall and get costumes and a chorus and grease paint and an audience. Then they could pay admissions and we could save the money and have a leather-bound annual with colored illustrations for the stories and full-page pictures of each girl and ... CAROLINE e Yes, Natalie, and a fwe or six-page story of her life and an embroidered bookmark with each volume. Your remarks are interesting but un- important. But, even so, it wont be bad to have a few fulI-page pictures of the Gym Team, the Debat- ing Club, and the Mandolin Society. What do you think, Margaret? MARGARET-Well, now, I was seriously contem- plating writing a poem. Something on the order of the Iliad. I think that that would be quite clever and so original. Of course, it takes a well-developed brain and artistic temperament, but since I possess both, it will be so simple. SADIE - Simple! Well I should say yes. But you may do it, my dear; my brain is still being de- veloped by means of Geometry. I vote that we don't have to run around town vainly trying to gather ads. Theytre very vulgar in the Annual of a select young ladies' seminary. ELIZABETHu-Cemetery! Why doesntt someone get some ideas. This is the most stupid class. Now, look at me. I intend to write some ghost stories and something interesting. You intellectual people, with your poems and George Barr McCuteheon stories, make me weary. Well, Louise, how are you going to add to the honor of the class? LOUISE e Well, lets see. I haven't given the mat- ter very much thought. I guess Pll have to gather the j okes and the ads and the stories and the illustrations, since no one else seems capable of doing anything. 111 have to get the - MILDREDeOh, therets the bell, and we havent a thing done. Girls, this is a shame. None of you have done a thing this whole bell. GIRLS tas they go outI-I knew we wouldn't; we never do. We just have a good time. Yes, thatts what a class meeting is for. L.

CHARACTER READING Basecl on the Handwriting 35 ALICE BAUR. You like to work. You would rather work than play any day; you like to use your hands, and you enjoy studying. When you put your mind on one subject you forget that there is anything else in the world but that one problem to be solved. You like people, and you adapt yourself easily to strangers, but you do not waste time in frivolous talk! You are thrifty in your use of money and posses- sions. You are thoughtful in caring for others, but you would rather give them time and energy than Shekels. You keep at your work so hard that you sometimes get tired and cross, but you are never too tired to do something for someone who is in trouble. You are proud of your family, and will probably become a famous genealogist! ALICE ROGERS CLAY. You are a person of high ideals, and true nobility of spirit. You have a good deal of family pride, and you are well-behaved, partly because your conscience tells you to be good, and partly because you would be ashamed to have anyone who bore your name lower the standard of morality which your family has main- tained. You are more religious than the average person, so if you are as good as the ordinary person, you do not deserve any credit at all, for you have a head-start in kindly instincts. You are fond of stylish gowns, and you like to be dressed as well as any of your friends-if you are outclassed you feel uncomfortable. 36 You are athletic, and would be wise in taking a course at a Normal School of Gymnastics. MARY LOUISE EWAN. You have a good mind, and you know how to use it. You can memorize well, but you also do original thinking. You are not content to accept the facts that a book or a teacher gives you without independ- ent investigation. You are observing, and your mental digestion is as good as your physical, and both are well-nigh perfect. You have the power of concentration, and you accomplish a good deal because you do not beat about the hush before you start in on any task, and when you are started, you go at it with hammer and tongs. You will be most congenially employed in some mental labor. It may be original writing, as you are gifted with the power of expression, or it may be in listing book, or people, or peanuts, for you are methodical. FLORENCE FORD. You are like the character of Elspeth in Senti- mental Tommyttw you are made especially for loving and being loved. You like human beings whether they are rich or poor, young or old, men or women, and you like to be with them, talking, working, or playing. I am sorry for the young man Who invites you to go to the theater with him, for he might just as well make up his mind at once that he will miss the first act, for you find it very hard to be on time, and, though you think that you have made your plans so that you will be dressed when your escort arrives, you always find a button off or a hook missing! You may never be famous, but you will always have many friends. NINA HOPKINS. You are a frank person, and it is as hard for you to keep a secret as it is for a sieve to hold water. You are cheerful, genial and happy, and you enjoy chattering with whomever you meet in your life journey. There is no trace of snobbishness about you. You have physical energy, and you carry yourself with a buoyancy of physical control which is very attractive, particularly to creatures of the opposite sex. You have high ideals and a religious hopefulness which is going to be a great help to you all your life. You seem to be best fitted for some work in which you may be associated intimately with people, but you must learn to keep secrets first! DOROTHY HUNTER. You are a practical person, and you are so straightforward in your relations with other human beings that you say just what you think, and people know that they will be able to obtain an honest. Wise opinion from you, that is. if you are not too shy to give advice. I find that you are altogether too humble about your own position and abilities in this world. You are afraid that you will make a mistake. and 37 so you postpone unpleasant tasks, and you tremble in appearing before the smallest sort of public. You are unassuming in your carriage, and your tastes are simple. You 'do not care for many clothes, but you like to have those you possess of good ma- terials and well made. You love your friends ardently, but you do not care for the mob. VIRGINIA KEMPER. You have plenty of enthusiasm, enough for all your class! You are so cheerful that you always think it is going to clear off if you can find a square inch of blue sky visible, and you are Willing to help in making the weather better, when the circum- stances are within your control. You talk a good deal, but, as the corners of your mouth turn up, people like to hear you talk. You like all kinds of men. women and children. and if you are talking with a person who uses an accent or a dialect, you find yourself adopting the same peculiarities of speech, in order to make yourself more at one With him. It is hard to say whether or not you have culti- vated your musical gifts, but you have time, rhythm and a love for melody, and you interpret well. FLORENCE REECE. You are an ambitious girl, with large ideas of what you will accomplish in this world You are practical, and you are of that happy class of people who know how to do things right the first time. You are fond of dress, and you like to have a good many pretty gowns. Perhaps you can make them yourself. You would be the happiest woman in the world if you could have a home of your own to manage, with a congenial companion, of whose sex we do not need to speak, for you are a born housekeeper, but you will be happy whatever your occupation, for you have plenty of self-confidence, and in some mysterious way success seems to love you as much as you love pets and children, which is much of a much! MARJORIE TIETIG. You are a person of reiinement and exquisite daintiness. You have a sensitive spirit in various ways. You are intuitive, and your sympathy makes you tactful in your treatment of all whom you meet; you can heal troubles whether they are hidden or spoken. Your wagon is hitched to a star, but the wheels conform to the legal width of the highways in the community in which you live. You have definite ideas of what you mean to ac- complish in this world, and you like your own methods of procedure better than the ideas which are sug- gested to you. Your personality is one which can not be ignored, and, while you are seldom noisy, people are always conscious of your presence. KATHERINE TREVOR. You have a good brain, and you like to study. Thus far you have adopted the thoughts of other men and women conscientiously, but you have not learned 38 to think for yourself as much as you ought. You have an excellent memory, and you have allowed this to take the place of thinking. You are observing, and you remember well the facts of history and science which come within your ken through books or by actual vision on your own part; but you have not as yet digested thoroughly the facts that you have in mind. History means a list of dates, not the de- velopment of character, or the evolution of society, and science is made up of just so many formulae, so you think now. But when you begin to think for yourself, you are going to find that you have within yourself resources of enjoyment which you have never guessed, and your heart and spirit, too, as they grow in independence will grow in power. ELIZABETH YEISER. You are a practical person, with an earnest pur- pose. You work hard and steadily at any task set before you, and you are honest about fulfilling the promises which you make. You like mathematics, and would be an excellent teacher of mathematics. However, you would be still more eliicient in some position in which you could care for the details of a large enterprise which had an energetic theorist at its head, like a settlement head, with large dreams for the advancement of the world, but no knowledge of the cost of beef, or the pettiness of small necessary dealing with people of all kinds. You do not care for many people, you like things better than folks, but your sturdy ability makes you of service to friends and foes.

S. 0., 1914. HIS MASTER'S VOICE VERYONE is supposed to be a crank on some subject. Miss Perkinsis subject was dogs. She had always had an un- conquerable sympathy for homeless dogs. On a certain afternoon Miss Perkins stepped out of her machine in front of a 57 large department store. As she did so her eye fell upon a small dog running in and out among the ma- chines 0n the crowded street. Miss Perkinsis heart leaped with apprehension. ttThe poor little thing is sure to be killed, she thought; so stepping up to the man in livery, who opened the doors of the store, she said: Do you see that poor little dog running about among the traffic Ti Yestmf, replied the puzzled man. ' Would you please get him for me? demanded Miss Perkins courteously. The man drew himself up in scorn. Madame, I am a livery-man, not a dog-cateherF' he exclaimed. Miss Perkins, realizing that the man was right, hastened to a policeman. But the policeman found it impossible to leave his corner. She tried a passing citizen, meeting with refusal in this case also. Miss Perkins was fast losing her dignity, but at last she approached a negro leaning against a lamp-post. tTll give you a quarter if you catch that dog for me, she said. The negro looked up in surprise. You,ll gib me a quartet for catchin, that dog '3 he asked incredulously. Yes, replied Miss Perkins with great alacrity. The man lazily shifted his position and whistled. The dog came running up to him immediately. Why, how did you do that ? she cried amazed. ttHow? queried the negro, why, hets my dog! M. A., 1916. THE CUCKOO CLOCK - LITTLE cuckoo clock hung above the f, I staircase in an elegant old mansion. 1 The house, however, was not older than H the cuckoo. When the old coionel, long since gone, had brought his bride to her new home, the cuckoo had suddenly jumped out eight times, and had had a good glimpse of her. Now, dont think that a cuckoo sees everything, for you know he comes out but once every half hour. But he has bright eyes, and can take in at a glance what it would take an old granddaddy clock a whole week to absorb and digest. Of course, it is very disappointing to come out only once, and see someone being married or murdered, and then have to run right back in again, but then, when one is a cuckoo clock, one gets used to it and lives patiently. This particular cuckoo had seen more than a great many clocks have, though no one knew how wise he was. One evening, a very eventful evening for the little cuckoo, the old colonel's grandson, who, with his wife and child, now occupied the old home, brought home a little gilt clock with beautiful chimes, the little cuckoo immediately fell in love with her, and at his first opportunity tried to start a conver- sation. Perhaps you have never listened to a clock talk. It is very different from the monotonous tick that we hear all day. It can say beautiful things, and that 58 is just what the little cuckoo said to the little gilt clock. Oh, she was such a coy little clock! She ticked industriously on, paying little attention to the efforts of the cuckoo. But the cuckoo knew what he was about, and carried on his wooing in such a fascinat- ing way that no one, much less a silly little French clock, could have resisted him. She consented to listen to him, and every day a whispered conversa- tion was carried on. Alas! one sad day the man of the house came and moved the gilt clock, at his ladyis request, upstairs to her boudoir. For a few days the cuckoo kept up a slow ticking, and then stopped. It was then sent to the clock mender's, where a little wizened old man, with straggling gray locks, looked it over and shook his head. It's j ess nachelly wore out, he explained. The little gilt clock was quite as heartbroken, and unconsciously did j ust the right thing e- she refused to run. To all the coaxings and working of the clock men, she remained obdurate. Then, what do you think happened? They were both, one happy day, carried up to the storeroom and put down side by side on an old sideboard. And I suppose they sit there still, close together, in the dim old attic. F. R., 1917. Modern Dancing The modern dances are awful things, These dances are more work than pleasure, All curves and twists and funny rings; Give me the waltz and two-step measure; Whether old or young, fat or thin, The fun is what you really seek, They all take lessons With a vim. So take your choice and mind your feet. VIRGINIA KNOWER, 1919. Spring Song Everything begins to wake. Plants arise from their winter sleep, The birds their nests in the tall trees make; Tiny green buds begin to peep; The snow and ice have long since gone, Furs and coats are stored away, And the air is merry with laughter and song. And all the world is glad and gay. E. C., 1916. 59 THE MUSICIAN ' 7 ONSIEUR.n Madame De Coubert opened ' the door softly and looked in. I would like that you go to see my composer. He is so restless and he groan, so I think he is, what you call it ?- seek. I arose wearily and a trifie impatiently. What was it to me, I asked myself, that an old musician was ill? It was not my fault, assuredly, and I had not come to France to be at the beck and call of every old man that I met. Certainly not. But even as I argued something stronger than my own will seemed to urge me to obey the summons. I closed my door softly and went doWn the long hall. As I approached his door I listened a minute. It was all still, and then very faintly, scarcely more than an echo, I heard the first silvery notes of Beethovenis Moonlight Sonata. It grew and grew and broke off abruptly. Another pause, and, as I nerved myself to enter, the music began again. But this time it was the happy j oyous song of a boatman. It sounded as if the whole world was singing in unison. I turned the knob softly and entered. To my sur- prise, the room was dark save where the window re- iiected a street lamp. The lamp threw the old piano and the gray-haired man into strong relief. As he sat there, the 01d musician was a weird, uncanny figure. His white hands flashed up and down the keyboard like lightning, and there was a look on his 60 haggard, worn face I had never seen before. He must have heard me enter, for he stopped abruptly and looked around. For a moment he could not see me, but as the light from the open door streamed in, his face relaxed into a smile. tiAh, he said, with a pitiful attempt at gayety. I am glad you have come. I had begun to think the world had forgotten me. Sit downysit down, and we will wait for the rest. tThe rest, I echoed stupidly. mean ? Do you not know '3 he answered quietly, leaning toward me as I crossed the room. uIt is a recital. I am to play for the last time here. Whom do you Here, and his voice took on a new tone of defiance, of pride, in the very room where I was born, I am to play in the dark, the last time. And then, when it is all over h his voice trailed away, and he sat for a few seconds gazing into space. Then he turned. Ah, there they are. Listen, he raised his hand. In vain I listened, but only the faint noise of a gnaw- ing mouse met my ears. The composer walked to the door and opened it. uCome in, I heard him say, cordially; I am glad to see you. I looked again. I could see no one. Closin g the door, he approached the piano and seated himself. Ladies and gentlemen, he said, I play for the last time. I am glad you are here. A chill swept over me. His mind was affected. To him this empty, barren room was a lighted hall, filled with gaily dressed people. It was a tragedy, a hideous, empty tragedy. I waited, and he struck a chord. Another and another, and he began to play the most beautiful piece of music I had ever heard. It seemed like a human voice, rising and falling with all the sorrow and joy in the world. In it I could hear the rippling of sunlit waters, and the agony of many deaths all at once. I began to feel stricken in my body, ashamed and unhappy for my sins. I re- pented, and as I did so the music grew louder and louder until it filled the room. Then, with a. wild clash, it stopped. I looked up suddenly and under- stood. With a rapt expression on his face, the old man had risen with his arms outstretched, gazing into the life beyond. And silently I knelt and bowed my head in prayer. I, too, had been near eternity. FRANCES HARMON, 1915. 61 VANITY BONFIRE What's that bright light over there?

Lewis is at work near the fur- nace in the basement pulling the wire that sends those relieving sounds through the school, which are supposed to dismiss young ladies, but proves to sound more like a football rush. Doors by open and a babel of conversation, mingled with laughs, begins. Three Sophomores fairly bounce into the big room, and the first three desks on the right hand side in the fifth row are opened. A glance at the pro- grams causes HMath not pleasantly to burst from their lips. Then the trouble begins. ttWhere's my pencil, impatiently asks Mildred, waving her hands about in an excited way. Well, I DONT KNOW; youtre always looking at me when your pencils are lost. Look in Sadie,s desk, peevishly replied Elizabeth. 64 Well, have YOU my pencil, Sadie? ttNo, shortly retorts Sadie, rummaging through papers and books. 'tWell, then, WHO took my Math?

Because I forgot I had been using Sadie's pen. Miss E. is by this time at her wits end. Girls, you MUST hurry to your class. Yastm, consolingly calls Sadie from the door. And the three troublesome Sophomores are off again for at least a half hour of silence and hard work. E. C., 1916. BULLETIN BOARDOFA MODEL SCH00 NOT 1 C E rM'PO'RTAN'I !

Inexperienced were they, and rocky the road they had to travel. Having wandered far they came finally to that last hill which leads, after many a difiiculty and hardship, to that vast and unexplored region of the Collegiates, a tribe great and mighty, exclusive, ancient, wise. Here on the border they camped, listening to the schemes and preparations of the councilor, Martut the Secretive, for entering the coveted territory. First feeling the need of an organization, in a tribal pow-wow, they made for themselves a Con- stitution, pledged and signed by all, limiting the 66 powers of their governors. Discussion waxed high while Kattut, the poet of the tribe, Charva, the lover of animals, and many a tribal leader gave his views. Warfare engaged the following days, and many were the battles fought, and many were the brave warriors that fell beneath the sword and shield of Valivur the Valiant. Civil war formed part of their strife ; the tribe and their governors came often into coniiict. Punishments by their rulers were not a few, sometimes even the entire tribe was in disgrace,wear- ing black to signify their penitence. and ofttimes they were forbidden to mingle, even in their play, with the smaller tribes, whom they frequently met. As they traveled along, they came to the deep river of Mathematics, which they must ford. Here three of their tribe e Betpra the One-Legged, Marja the Boxer, and Glaed the Proud - were almost sub- merged in the rushing torrent, but with the help of their companions this obstacle was overcome, and they journeyed on toward their goal. But, 10!! as they pursued their onward way, they came to a dark and dismal spot known in that land as the Valley of Examinations. Despair seized the tribe, and they seemed almost tempted to abandon their journey, but this must be crossed before enter- ing the cherished land of the Coilegiates. With stern resolutions, and borne on by the courage of Gerwin the Wise, they put forth once more toward the land of the Collegiates. B. P., 1918. THE COLISEUM HE moonlight poured its radiance over A the Coliseum, over the marble slabs and i,jf- through the rooiiess ruins into the very E depths it threw its cold rays. Down ' through roofiess ruins into the living heart of the building which in years gone by had haughtily returned its stare with impregnable walls of rock and granite, with roofs of tile and solid stone. But now the walls had decayed, the roofs fallen in ruin, and with a derisive smile the moon threw her Days on the secrets which had been hidden for so long. The inside balcony looked like a great checkered board with a hole in the middle. One step into its blackness might end in eternity, or on the marble balcony in safety. A long, silvery ribbon lay stretched on the fioor, shining and shimmering in the light. Suddenly and without warning, the ribbon stretched taut, and then lashed into a giant coil. It was none other than Inca, the great snake. Sh eshesh e ; its sound was soft and per- suasive; sh e sh - sh - For five minutes not a sound disturbed the harm- less softness of the summer night. In a patch of shadow lay the great snake, coiled and ready to strike, While two wicked, j eweled eyes pierced the gloom around them. Such is the law of nature. p ' a 'y' '5; I591: l l 67 Into the moonlight, not two feet from Inca, stepped two touristsea man and his wife, or, I should have said, a wife and her husband - one little and fat, the other little and thin.

J ohn Tayiorl! come here and help your wife over the stones? And almost silently the great snake laughed. He had been a married snake three hundred years ago. What was it, her voice was sharp, iIthat the man told us yesterday about the Coliseum ?ii And then J ohn told her the old superstition which had been repeated to him by a native whose soft voice only had made the story interesting. Why, Maria, something about a snake living in the Coliseum, or that a great snake used to live in the Coliseum, which stood for all the wickedness and cruelty of the place, and, oh yes! that even now on a good night you could see his ghost. A tourist once disappeared one moonlight night. He looked like Caesar they say e uJohn, lets go home? They went. And the great snake smiled in the mooniight, stretched taut in a shining ribbon. E.

Hide me from the light of day; Within thy gates my soul is free, I beg only for your breath; Once thy ebon wing enfold, Yield unto me! Ope your lips and answer me, And I am in the realm of gold. Fairyland eternity! JEANNETTE SEITER, 1912. 69 TO Bianca Her curls are dark about her face, And White her hand upon the strings; The low notes of her zither make Soft cadence, when Bianca sings. And through the casement, standing wide To Padua,s enchanted dreams, Upon my Iadyts lute and curls The splendor of the moonlight streams. A little song that Petrarch wrote To Laura whom he loved of yore, She sings; and that good loverts words Make bold my heart, too faint before. AGNES KENDRICK GRAY, 1911. Site of Ancient Delphi Oahu- 3 Pintur: by Jules Gueh-int Here ancient Delphi stood; today There winds at road of sober gray Up steep Parnassust tawny slopes, Where once a mighty nationts hopes Hung on a mysticts whispered words, Or fateful aight of omened birds, Or heart of sacrificial beast, Slain for the great Apollots feast. Beside the Fount Castalia, The highroad runs to Krissa far, And up the way the muleteers come, Driving their laden donkeys home; 70 And where the road begins to climb, Among the olives goat-bells chime. The temples stand in ruins now Below Parnassus' craggy brow, The theater no more proclaims, In echo loud, the poetst names; The marble columns, fallen low, In softened White and yellow glow; And farther up the sunlit hill, The red-gold stadium lies still. And der this glory lowly lying, Wheels an eagle, crying, crying. AGNES KENDRICK GRAY, 1911. COLLEGE IMPRESSIONS Thatis about all I can say about college yet. The sensations are too new to be ana- lyzed, but I know this e there is a great big ache some place inside of me, When I think of you, that all the arnica in the world can not cure. Last night I could almost see you standing by the train, holding old Fido up to lick my hand, and I lay down on the bed and cried and cried. My room- mate came in at the end of my little weep and looked so disgusted that I shamelessly said I had a cold, and asked if she had some camphor. Her name is Leila Smith. We donlt seem very congenial. I've tried to be nice to her, but she certainly does say the queer- est things. Today she asked me if I were a transfer. I suppose someone told her daddy was the S. P. super- intendent at home, but I squelehed her by saying it was a mighty poor joke, and slammed the door he hind me. She has hardly spoken since. DARLING DUMPS-If you were only here, and Leila had a sense of humor, college would be perfect. Ilve had six callers today, and it has been more than exciting. I didn't know them from Adam, and was so thrilled to think they might really be as glad that little I came to college as they said they were. Leila laughed at me and said the sororities were rushing me for my money. At first I was dreadfully angry, 71 but she didnit have any callers, so perhaps she was just a wee bit envious. Moreover, I have three invitations to dinner, and a pretty Freshman next door said I'd have a lot more next week. Now, isnlt that enough to make me happy eme, a poor, seared Freshman, so homesick for a sight of you, that I could even hug your old pink sun- bonnet to death? DEAREST DUMPSEY s College is heavenly, but must reserve mylstrength for verbal enthusiasms. In haste, RITA. Pm a Freshman, Dumpsey, and a very meek one at that. Tonight, I, with a few other timid ones, was unceremoniously ordered to spread the rug after sundry Seniors had completed their eveningls recre- ation. Now, you remember, Dumpsey, that long talk we had before I left. We came to the wise conclusion that the Freshman celebrated in song and story was simply meek because she had no spirit. Well, I've changed my mind, and hope I may be forgiven in this world and the next for such a heretical opinion. I haughtily refused to roll those rugs and marched to my room in high dudgeon at such an insult. Just a few minutes ago, fully twenty Sophomores, in all stages of array and disarray, came into my room. They pulled me from my bed and threatened me with ice water and sudden death unless I did penance for my disobedience, and I, Dumps, I, who thought I'd have spirit to resist an invading army, got down on my knees in my night gown and prayed them to have mercy on my youth and folly. Donlt laugh, or Illl never forgive you. At least if you do, donit tell me about it. My spirit is broken. I am the humble slave of the supremely mighty Sophs, and so inscribe my- self. Yours spinelessly, RITA. DEAR DUMPSe The last week of 'irushing sea- son, as they call it, has come. I have three invita- tions to dinner this week and Leila says whosever invitation I accept will bid me. Leila is a diction- ary in matters collegiate, and whoever heard of a dictionary with a joke column or a fancy cover? I sat and thought and thought with those three cards spread out before me. I'd made up my mind to accept .the first, when I thought of something that happened in one of the other houses, and the memory of it touched me so that I almost as fully rejected the first and accepted the second. The more I thought, the more confused I became, so finally, with much difficulty, I captured three fiies, named them, and put them on my desk. The first one that flew away was the one I accepted 1 the third invitation - and now I know that down in my heart I was sure all the time, but afraid to acknowledge it. I've mailed the three little notes and now am so glad that live chosen, and that it's off my mind. Yours in relief, RITA. I've been to dinner and bid and pledged Gamma Delta. It is so simple to say, but has left me in such a complex state of mind. Yours sanctimoniously, RITA. DUMPse I've made a discovery as you've prob- ably learned from my letters. Studies are secondary matters here at times, and the first of the first semes- ter happens to be one of the times. I also have another secret, but keep it even darker than the last. I'm not important at all. The fate of the world doesnlt hang on my shoulders, even though I was persuaded to believe so a few weeks ago. I am only one, and a very insignificant one, of fifteen hun- dred. No faultlessly attired wearers of the Greek letters beam and gush over me. It is a terrific bump after what has gone before, but plenty of letters from you, and good humor and the company of like unfortunates help to heal my wounds. I am a war-scarred hero, and next year will be given charge of a battling gun. I salute my general, RITA MARGARET BOYLE, 1911. LlENVOI tTn the Faculty. with Apologies to Kiplingl When earthls last lesson's recited, and the books are laid in the fire; When Latin and Greek are forgotten, and Apollo no more plays his lyre; We shall rest, and faith! we shall need it, be idle an aeon or two, Till the Master of all good workmen shall set us to work anew. And those that have taught shall be happy, forget there was ever a class; They shall look at the earth in its beauty, arched sky and billowy grass, Forget they e'er saw it in map work, splashed yellow and purple and blue, Forget the dread written lesson that showed what the class never knew. And Shakespeare shall go unmolested, and Spenser and Chaucer roam free; E,en Browning's most occult deep meaning, remain unsolved mystery; And Tartaruvs shall hold in its darkness, and forever keep the key, Whatever is mathematical, ,rithmetic angles, x, y, z. The shades of the long departed, that walked through History's pages, Shall rest in their various countries from which theytve been kept for ages, And French shall be spoken by Frenchmen, and German not spoken at all, And porters of every nation shall respond to the English call. And only the Master shall praise us, and only the Master shall blame; And no one shall work for money e but we'll have it, all the same w But each for the joy of the working, and each in her separate star Shall work at the thing she loves most for the God of things as they are. l 1 m Freshmen must enter and leave school by the side door, and no other, unless by the permis- sion of a Senior. 2 - Freshmen must wear their hair down their backs. 3 - Freshmen must not sit at a table with a Senior without first asking her permission. 4 h Freshmen must not wear a monocle or a black ribbon around their necks. 5 m Freshmen must not wear black patches on their face, or must not use powder in school. 6 -F Freshmen must withdraw quickly and quietly from a place a Senior wants to occupy, unless with the Seniors permission. 74 7 mFreshmen must carry a Seniorts articles into her desk, cloakroom, umbrella stand or various places about school when requested.

She was a loved teacher, and her going caused deep regret. Louise Collier, ill, was married on October 1 to Mr. Henry T. Stanton. of Cincin- nati, and Pauline Workum, of the same class, was married later in the month to Mr. Ernest M. Ach, also of this city. The graduates, of 1913 have been variously occu- pied since last J une. Among the debutantes in their own homes have been Eleanor Rogers, of Piqua, Ohio, and Ellen Cochran, of Maysville. Ky. Rebecca Haven and J ane Raymond have been at Wellesley College. Dorothy Coppock is at Western College, Oxford, Ohio. Grace Dudley is at the U. of C. Charlotte Haven has tormented her friends all winter with accounts of Palm Beach that have made the rest of the world seem like a desert drear. 79 4PER50NAL5. Regina Kronaeher, '12, closed her Freshman year at Wellesley with honor standing. Esther Ransohoff, 12, is also winning honors at Vassar. She was chosen for the cast of the Hall Play, also for the Daisy Chain to be carried by twenty-four of the most attractive-looking girls in college. N0 mean honor, this! Betty Boyd, 12, has spent a brilliant winter, de- butting in two places, Nashville and Atlanta, and end- ing with a house party at her winter home in Belleair, Fla. The Junior Class has missed one of its bright, particular stars since the serious illness of Frances Harmon. She has been in Florida for several weeks and is regaining her health. We hope to see her again soon in school. Several beautiful social affairs have been given this winter within the school. Frances Harmon en- tertained most hospitably the entire Collegiate De- partment. Katharine Ernst gave a charming tea in March to her classmates and the Juniors and house girls. Among our welcome visitors this winter have been Henrietta J ones and Elizabeth Schoepf. The Freshman Class, also. has been bereft of one of its lights by the going away of Elizabeth Brown. Her letters from Africa and Italy have been delight- ful to read. She will be heartily welcomed back in September. Dorothy Hinitt, of Danville, Ky., is at the Art Academy. She is sure to arrive in art. Among the many interesting events of the winter at the Woman's Club the school was especially well represented -at the lecture given by William B. Yeats, Prof. Bliss Perryis address on Browning, and the charming concert given by the Fuller Sisters. 80 81 Helen Iglauer, Charles Iglauer, Children of Helen Ransohoif Iglauer. George A.
