In the Sophomore year, nearly half fell by the wayside. Tn the Junior year thev t ook to themselves win s and flew. One of our Seniors, who ventured to wear her insignia of dignity too soon, succumbed to the scarlet fever scare, and departed to other regions. Only seven of us have survived the long and perilous journey from Freshman to Senior ; and these seven naturally think that what they do not know about the College and its customs is not worth knowing. In our young days we used to think that to wear the Senior cap and gown would be the height of human happiness. We could hardly wait for the time to come. But now the cares and responsibilities of this life are so grievous that we are turning gray before our time. We sigh for the Junior days that we were once so anxious to leave behind, and realize to our sorrow that things are not what they seem — no, not even being a Senior. But there are compensations. The lower classes look up to us with awe and reverence, and Ijelieve that we know everything. We imagine that the Faculty is very fond of us, and the delusion does us no harm, thougli it is only a delusion. And when we leave College, we may look back and realize that our Senior days were not so bad after all. M. O., ' 07. Class Poem Alay — and the birds are singing- Fresh green are the trees and grass, And the swift flying months are bringing Xew things to our Senior Class. Long years we have been just school-girls From the time of our A. B. C, Our multiplication, lunch and curls — Through high school and rule of three. Green Freshmen — with hair neatly braided And tied with a ribbon or so. Who — cheeks glowing, arms heavy laded Walked to school with our very first beau. Then Sophomores, bold and haughty A ' ith our end almost in sight W ' e had no time to be naughty Hut studied with all our might. The Junior — through College ages — Is called the love-sick class And we — well — we were not sages — But merely — the average lass. And now our last year is ended — The dearest, and sweetest and best — And we grieve as we put it behind us In the past, too, with all the rest. Xo longer as school girls, half playing. Seeing Hfe half as fun, half as work. But as soldiers in life s field of battle Not one duty daring to shirk. So we bid a farewell to each classmate And our eyes are half blinded with tears As we wish her the very best blessings In the rush of the on-coming years. And though they bring joy or sorrow I know in each heart there will be Tender love for the Class of ' 07 And our dear Alma Mater P. C. Dorcas Lott ' 07. 17 Prophecy When Springtime was at its loveliest, and the air sweetly perfnmed w,ith wild honeysuckle, I strolled along a winding path which led 1 knew not whither. By the side of the path a clear-flowing stream hurried to the sea ; and as I watched the onward sweep of shimmering water 1 wondered w hat would he tlie fate of our dear old Senior Class. When I grew tired of walking, close by the stream I spied a cool and shady nook under a drooping old willow : there I rested, but what did I see! . 11 around me grew those dainty little flowers, the sangninaria, better known as l)lood root; this flower grows in the shape of a cup and possesses the most delicate odor. In this fragrant bower of green and white, — our class colors, verily, — I sat witli bowed head, and meditated long and earnestly. Wdien at last 1 did lo(_)k up, the tender little leaves shivered strangely, rustled by a whirling wind ; the dainty flowers, wide open now, nodded and beckoned wildly, as if trying to tell me a magic secret; the willow brandies bent closer around me and a voice far ofl: ' and eerie at the first, then ever nearer and clearer thrills my soul with its deep unearthly sum- mons Mortal Maiden, listen! Weary thyself no longer over the ])roblem of life, f(jr now will I solve it for thee, thou shalt glance into the wonderful l)ook of fate and see where thy colleagues will be five years from now. Kind Muse, speak on ! said T rejoicing. Thereupon the wonderful, echoing voice began to tell the fortune of our dear class president: A ncjble girl, known for kind deeds, her originality and wit, whose ambition will lead her to do much, though while studying Ethics she was slightly affected i8 b) ' Bcntliain ' s Alaxiiii, ' Always do acts tliat ,L; ' ivc the L,n-catest t ood tn the greatest number. ' So ' Alex. ' wlicn throug-h Collea e. decided to open an institution on this plan ; never had a Colle,s:e so many applicants ; the place was full to overflowing ' with girls from all over the country. The first year resulted in . ' -ncli success that almost all Colleges adopted her method. It was just the other day that a student asked: ' Aliss Louise, may I go up street this afternoon? ' ' Yes. dear, and get all your town friends to come over to-night, and we will have a square dance, O ! Alary! all you girls have studied so conscientiously, next week instead of having ' exams, ' we will camp the whole week and do some hunting. A short silence, — then the Aluse began again: You will remember thj sensation created by the Senior Debate, but i)erhaps you do not know tint that is not all it has produced. Helen T ' ridges, while visiting in Cumberland became cjuite tlv belle of the place. Just before her de])arture a large reception was tendered her, and among the crowd of black coats at this gathering f felen noticed one i)air of shoulders broader than the others, two brown eyes which, meetin.g her own, sent a thrill through her. They were introduced — and from the dim past of her now almost forgotten college days 1 lelen reniemliercd the debate, the help she had asked and received from a certain lawyer in that ])lace. There was only time for the meeting as she left tow n the next day — but — although the railroads are still under private control, there are many ways of getting from Cuml)erland to Charlotte and in the spring of the follov ing year Charlotte again became the scene of a debate ; and Helen — again took the affirmative side. Inez Crump, the summer after her graduation, took a school in the moimtains of North Carolina. Here she met and renewed lier friendship with a professor from A. M.. As the two were thrown much together, naturally, since ' to know her is to love her ' — this friendship soon ripened into something stronger ; and be- fore the next year ' s roses bloomed, Inez had decided that Raleigh was the most charming spot on earth in which to live. Carey Graves, whose voice attracted the attention of all in the College Choral Association, went Xorth, where she studied in the Boston Conservatory, and after years of study and ' concentration ' , secured a postion as teacher in this well- known institution. Lucy Harris took a two-years ' course in Art in an Eastern College, then a special course in designing and worked her way gradually up to fame — until now her signature may often be fr)und in the C(Mmer of the front page of many Well- known magazines. Fair Kuykendal lives cjuietly at home, showing her business ability in her excellent management of the large farm there, and her womanliness in the sweet, attractive home which she keeps for her mother and sister. 19 Suddenly the brook, the willow and the llowcrs fade and become dim, — a mist rises before my eyes, — and when this too clears away, I find the scene (|uite chani; ' - cd. I am on the side of a steep mountain — amid great rocks and boulders — the ground is covered with snow, and below me dashes a foaming river bearing ice- cakes to the sea. In front of me there is erected a tent and in its opening I see a girl dressed in a short brown skirt, tan leggings, and a wide crush hat ; in her hand is a case of surveyor ' s instruments. As I gaze she walks out of the tent and down towards the river bank with a very business-like air. Her face seems familiar to me — but I can not decide who she is until the Muse speaks, Dorcas Lott, after finishing ' her course under Miss Kibbe, took four years in civil engineering at a . i)rthern College, — and is now ])ersuing her life-work. ' ' Standing by the side of one of the tall iron beds of a Hospital is a girl with golden hair and laughing blue eyes, to whom the nurse ' s uniform with its snowy apron and cap is extremely becoming. Her merry laugh and cheery voice brings relaxation to many overstrained nerves, and rest to weary, suffering bodies, as Gertrude Melchor, the favorite nurse, makes her daily rounds. Margaret Morris, better known as ' 1 inn, ' Still hap]jily lives with ' Alex ' and ' Fun, ' In Alexander ' s College Music she teaches. And never once technic or theorv preaches, r I ' ut teaches her ])U])ils the ' ragtimes ' to play, And never makes them practice more Than ten minutes a day! Tlie Muse, who after thus falling into poetry has been silent for so long- that I almost fancied her gone, here begins again. Margaret Nair, whom perhaps you knew best as Toady, became a music teacher. Among her pupils was a little girl of about eight, — and the child advanced so rapidly in her studies that her father, a widower, became interested in his daughter ' s teacher. This interest de- veloped almost as rapidly as the child ' s knowledge of music, and before long Margaret was persuaded that though a ' Miss is as good as a mile ' a Mrs. is much better. If you should chance to visit one of our largest Southern cities, and attend the swellest of the society functions, you would at once notice a girl whose dainty loveliness and exquisite taste in dress distinguished her from all the rest. Dn looking close you would, I am sure, recognize Caroline Xurnberger, whose attrac- tiveness has made her the belle of Augusta. 20 SHALL WOMEN VOTE? BY THE FAMOUS LECTURER MISS MARY OWEN MAY 20, 1912 ACADEMY OF MUSIC CHARLOTTE, N. C. At this moment 1 felt snmethiii; ; restinj on mv Ivind, — and what was my astonishment when I fonnd and read the above card. I conld hardly believe my eyes! That Alary ( )wen should have forgotten her motto Silence is golden, and been led by her man-hatred into lecturing on Women ' s Rights seems almost in- conceivable ! I fully made up my mind to attend the lecture that very night and discover for myself, if ]iossible, wdiat had brought about this change. Alary Pressley, — alias Miss Cordon ' s delight, alias Socrates, — took her mar- vellous brain and her knowledge of Latin, and became the Latin teacher in the public school. All day she deals in ' complimentary ' infinitives, ablative absolute, and indirect discourse; but at night the overwraughl brain has its revenge. If one listens outside her door — at any hour of the night, one can hear the ceaseless mur- mur — Amo — Amas — Amat ' — ' Ego amo te! E. RANKIN, M. D. Office Hours: 9-11; 1-3 CHARLOTTE, N. C. Although showing no decided preferance at College for physiology, Eloise finally chose the medical profession as her mission in life, became Dr. Annie ' s as- sistant, and is known and loved by all the P. C. girls, to whom, when the poor things are suffering with acute attacl s of Latin headache or Mathematical indiges- 31 I tion, she l)i-ing-s at every visit Frencli novels and Huyler ' s candy to cheer them on their beds of snffering. Kate Hope Robinson, — always, as you remember, the star scholar in the Bible classes from Sub-Fresh to Senior, — after teaching- a few years in the Char- lotte Graded School, came back to P. C, where she became Miss Watkins ' assist- ?nt, and dug such obscure and unthought of meanings out of the simplest verses that even Miss Watkins looked in astonishment at the work of her own hands! Marie Sloan, after a few years at another college, came back to Davidson to spend a few months at home before taking up her work as teacher. But during her visit her plans were changed — she met a very charming professor who soon persuaded her that teaching was not the only thing a woman could do; — and after an extended tour on the other side, Marie came to Davidson, where her house is always open to P. C. girls, who come up for Field Day, Junior Speaking, and other occasions. Mabel Stokes, encouraged l)y her success as an athlete in the amateur circus, at College, decided that her calling in life lay in that direction ; and now, among the most conspicuous of flaming posters which herald the ai:)proach of the largest circirs in tlic L ' nited States, is a gorgeous red one which disphiN ' s the attractions of Mademoiselle Jabelle de Sto(|ues, the noted e(|uesterienne and trapeze per- former. Annie Witherspoon, although l)ecoming one of the most noted pianists of the age, still retains the modesty and unassertiveness which characterized her school days. And as for Bleeker Reid, she neglected so many opportunities while at the Presbyterian College, that the Fates condemned her to study English and Plistory the rest of her life! Startled at such apalling news I jumped up to protest: l:)ut the flower cups bowed as before and around me drooped the same old willow, and I realized that once at least I had been caught najiping-. My only consolation was that the brook murmured reassuringly, Dreams — Dreams Bleeker E. Reiu, 07. 22 Junior Class ] lott(): Qui iilt incit. Yell: Rip! Rip! Hurrah! watch mir i ' ait ! Ri])! Rip!

W e worked awa} ' in our second _ ' ear, overcoming all obstacles, gradually leav- ing behind us the big head that is characteristic of all Sophomores, and finally awakening to the fact that we had reached that period where we no longer estimate ourselves too highl}- — for we are juniors.

Init still we push on into the midst of study with an earnest will, and hope to have a goodly number vhen we ascend to the lofty plane of Seniors. Though we do not dwell in the regions of pretended dignity occupied by Seniors, we are in ho])es that the time is not far olT when we shall be thus deliglit- fully situated, but not imtil we have made a record that will reflect honor upon our- selves as well as our Alma Plater.

Now in the fifth year from the rebuilcHng- of tlie College or what is known as the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and five in the ninth month and the sixth day of the month, the gates of the College were opened to admit those who wished to make their educational ])ilgrimage. 2. And Dr. E ' ridges was the governor and Miss Long the lady governor. 3. And according to the command which had been given out by this same governor all who were to take this journey assembled on the sixth day of the ninth montli. 4. And lo there were a goodly number — there being nigh two hundred souls besides teachers and children. 5. And when they had all been examined as to the custom it was found that there were fifty-two souls who had never made any part of this ])ilgrimage before. These fifty-two were called Freshmen. ( . . nd the Freshmen banded themselves together that they might make this long journey in the same company; and they chose as their leader one Irving Harding, who was a good leader and exceedingly fair. 7. And it came to pass that wlien they had begun their journey they went many days before they found hope of any respite. S. I ut on the twenty-third day of the eleventh month they came to tlie place of thanksgiving and behold they were all glad and built an altar of thanks upon that daw ). . nd not many weeks after they came to a place called Christmas, and be- hold it was a goodly place and they rested there many days. 10. lint when they left it, lo, the wilderness was before them and they found no rest anywhere so that they feared death Ijetween weariness and hunger. I I. And at the end of another long March they came to h ' aster. where there were palm trees and much comfort. T2. And after more weary months the governor ])rocIaimed a rest of ninety days and behold all were exceedingly glad above what they could say or think. 13. And it came to pass that at the end of this rest they assembled again on the seventh day of the ninth month. 14. And having girded themselves about and taken u]) their staves they be- gan the journey again. 15. And they changed their name and called themselves Sophomores. 16. Aiul their leader was the same as when they first began the journey and they all loved their leader exceedingly. 30 1 7- And sometimes the way was easy and sometimes it was hard, but they found rest again at another Christmas. 18. But when they had left Christmas behind, lo ! the plague was sent upon ihem and they were sore afraid. 19. But only one of their number was afflicted with the plague, nevertheless they all suffered much distress. 20. Then the enemy came and surrounded them so that not one of them could escape outside of the camp. 21. But with a great effort they arose and conquered the enemy and were free again. 22. And with this conquest ever in mind they hope to go on from victory to victory. P. C. Math They taught Iier sines, cosines, and tangents, too, And drilled her in radicals from A to Q, They gave her logarithms to find, ' ■ ■ But still they thought her without a mind — They said she ' d never a mathimatician be . , But they ' d reconsider if they could see Her success in solving such problems as this : — Given — four lips — to find a kiss.

Sept. 7th — Dearest Diary, I guess this will be your last year to record my good and bad deeds, for I hope to leave these walls in May with a dearly beloved sheep-skin, if I pass through the fires safely ; but between me and you and the gatepost, it is going to be a struggle. Sept. 27 — I guess you think I am making a bad beginning but I haven ' t time to think my own thoughts, much less give them to you. We have begun our hard work. I do believe that Dr. Fisher would kill a fellow. I know I shall have to work the tips of my fingers of¥ if I accomplish what he wants me to listesso tempo. I ' m just about to throw a fit now. Speaking of giving a recital, well, I had just as soon try to walk to Europe and a little sooner. I know my fingers will take the studs and not move one way or the other. I just sit and wonder now if I shall get any flowers. I think it would be so nice to have bouquets thrown at you, but the old saying goes: Don ' t count your chickens before they hatch. T haven ' t gotten as yit and its as Dr. Fisher says: You have something to live for. At 3.30 on Mondays we have chorus class. Our motto is : No steam whistles allowed. Already we are beginning on our pieces for the Christmas concert, for we ' ve at last learned that the world wasn ' t made in a day. Dr. Fisher swings the stick and we sing to its ups and downs. I have the privilege of sitting at Dr. Fisher ' s table, and. Old Diary, I do wish }uu could hear some of his sage remarks. They range from Mother Goose rhymes to isms. They would make you laugh until you cried, for that ' s the way we do when we finally catch on, but we are regular freight trains. We spend the half-hour after dinner in the library, diving into the encyclopedia, to find out what he really did say. Here ' s his Tuesday ' s and Friday ' s song: Miss Melva C. will you introduce (hello! introduce) the following dessert up to my place of abode? Will you excuse me from this festive board, play? Oct. 1st — This day has been set aside for Harmony. It is my panacea for all trouble. When I get mad or discouraged I just come to my room and take it out by working Harmony. You have no idea what melodious results I obtain. If working Harmony were all, why it wouldn ' t be so hard, but we have so many little old rules which if we don ' t observe every time Dr. Fisher will cover our poor little black books with blue pencil marks. He gets a supply of blue and green pencils every summer when he goes to the other side. He is such a generous- hearted fellow that he gives them all to us. I think he is altogether too partial to me. 34 Oct. 8th — Well, old pardner, if I don ' t knock Dr. Fisher off of the org-an stool before the year is over, it will be one of the seven wonders. I thought I was doing well to play a little with my hands, but when it comes to using my pedal extremities I then find myself looking for a place to step next. I tell you something great happened last night when Miss Wade ' s sweet melo- dious voice filled the whole auditorium, I felt as if I were in Heaven. You say you wonder why she was singing? Why, because it was the Faculty Concert and she is one of the Faculty by a great majority. She was accompanato ' by Dr. Fisher con tinto. Misses Mcintosh and Ramsay gave us a concerto (if you don ' t know what that is, play like you do). Mrs. Fisher played the violin coll arco, pizzicato, con sordino, and every other way. The culminating point of the evening was reached when the organ sent forth that grandest of melodies Dixie. Treated as a fugue con variazone by the composer. Dr. C. R. Fisher, T tell you. Old Diary, that boy can over-walk about on the organ. We shall beein our aimotated recitals before long. That ' s when one girl get ' up and gives birth, marriage (if he were so fortunate) works, and death of com- poser and she occasionally ends with : It will now be beautifully rendered by — , and the other more unfortunate victim gives us her interpretation of the composi- tion. The effort is tremendous but it is worth the while in the long run when we get a you did famously with a smile from Dr. Fisher. Oct. 25th — I ' m more than bowing down pawing ivory for exams, come in about three shakes of a dead sheep ' s tail and I don ' t know the first thing. We have criticism class to-day. For fear you don ' t know what that is, I ' ll tell you : Well, all of us Seniors grab a chair and we make a rush for Dr. Fisher ' s office; but our noise like hurry stops at his door until his come in, plaze bids us enter, and then we seat ourselves, each hoping in her heart that she won ' t have to approach that big black thing in the corner, correctly speaking, the pianoforte r whose great, great-grandma is the spinet) ; but hoping is all, for very soon you hear: Will someone, plaze, play Db scale ciuadruple grouping, rate 160. Don ' t all speak at once! while we are saying to ourselves, I ' m not going to make a fool of myself, and to keep the stool from feeling slighted he kindly plays it for us. But next Friday we have got to shine. The object is to tell each other all de- fects and how they may be remedied. I was always taught not to say unbecoming things to any person, as I always pat my friends on the back (I hope they ' ll re- turn the compliment). Dec. 13th — As I ' ve just gotten through with Harmony exam. I thought I ' d let you know that I ' m still alive. I never saw such an easy exam. I don ' t see why Dr. Fisher don ' t give us a hard one occasionally ; why, it took just five hours at the 35 shortest to finish it. I know I _q-ot a hundred ( it counted two hundred). It cov- ered history, counterpoint, harmony and every other conceivable musical idea. I know I had forty-eleven consecutives and other forbidden notes. Non-consecu- tives, it is the ever recurrint burden of my song. - ■ Jan. 8th — Well, my silent partner, I really didn ' t mean to treat you so badly, but now as the rush and hurry is over and we are still alive I ' ll tell you about it, but it will be short and to the point. I passed on Harmony by the skin of my teeth, the Christmas Concert was pronounced a total success by the delighted populace (if ' ou want to know wliat we had, see cat.), and we are through with exams, once more, and 1 am now on the straight road to a re cital. Oh! I know it will be a fiasco. (I hope you don ' t know what that is.) I el). 1st — T am bowing dow n on my essay to-day. I never knew the English language li l have so few words. I ' ve written everv one 1 know twice and hav only about five hundred, while my essay is to contain about twenty-five himdred. Our subject is so broad that you can ' t miss it, so you see the trouble is that we dont ' know where to begin or end. for its about Music and its place in past and present civilization. Music is like Tennyson ' s book : For men may come and men may go but it goes on forever. I ' ve searched the Carnegie Library but have not found enough information to speak of, but by some unknown means my essay is increasing poco-a-poco. I think of the dear little Juniors this year. They have no idea what grand opportunities are in store for them. Just think ! The privilege of writing an essay, composing music, any form from the simplest melody to a sonata or fugue, according to your talent, and above all, giving a recital. A ' on ' t it be grand to ])c the whole show for one time in your lite when you really know you are it. Then in ] Iay will come that ha]i])y day when I get my sheep-skin for offering myself upon the altar of art. Feb. i6th — Old pard, if you were only a boy and had bad the privilege of coming to see the Colonial dances I should not have to got to all this trouble to tell you how admirable we looked. I felt sure that I was the picture of my great- great-grandmother, with my powdered curls, my flowered paniers, my little lace fichu and pointed waist. I wish you could have seen Dr. Fisher. He looked like George Washington, with his velvet knee-breeches and silver buckles. He was so afraid that our dresses would scream at each other, but his fears soon subsided when he saw the delicate pinks, blue, greens, lavendars and yellows worn by the lovely maidens. Yet one time when the audience wasn ' t looking, he whis]:)ered, Be careful now and don ' t look woolly. That was enough for us, so I need not tell you how we did sing. Mar. 29th — T do wish you could help me practice. (_)nly three weeks until my recital ! I just can ' t stand it! I almost wish it were a year. I haven ' t time to tell 36 ou more now but must practice! practice!! practice!!! One steady streak until that fatal day when I will either make a fool of myself or shine. April 2oth — Oh, how happy I do feel this morning. Old Diary, you ought to see me, for I feel as if I were a bird. Yesterday has come and gone like a pleasant thought and left me just as I was. I used to be certain that a great change would come over me after giving a recital, but I ' m just the same old girl, though I ' ve more than got a light heart. Recital over, essay accepted, and nothing to do but get up technics for final exam. That ' s easy work, I tell you. Life ' s worth living now. May 14th — Ain ' t doin ' nothin , just lyin ' ' round watchin ' de grass and de trees put out and as James Whitecomb Riley says: Doing as I durn please . Com. is over and I have at last obtained that which I sought— a sheepskin, or in other words, that parchment, so-called diploma, which people frame and look at, and seeni to think that is the end while it should be the beginning of more serious work. To ' enumerate all the opportunities offered to me since I ' ve been here would tire even you, my dearest friend, but I ' m going to tell you a few for fear you think that I ' m whacking. Firstly, the grand opportunity of studying under Dr. Fisher, who has the patience of Job with us poor little ignoramuses, and who is always ready to instruct us, no matter how busy he is. Secondly, every opportun- ity is offered here to cultivate our musical taste, so that we do not think now that the sonatas of Beethoven or fugues of Bach are just all tommy-rot, but have got- ten where we can begin to appreciate their real meaning. ' Twas at P. C. that I was knocked down to the metronome. Then here ' s a sentence that ' s been drum- med into every head ever since it got into these walks : Rhyme is that w hich creates music and is the soul of music. There ' s no dropping back here, for every one is expected to play for the final exam, every memorized piece she has taken this year and all the previous years, so you see we all have quite a repertoire. But the most important event of the year is when Dr. Fisher gives us his photograph in exchange for our scare-crows. I certainly would love to see him look over his collection of Seniors, of the past and not the present. No wonder there aren ' t any rats here. Don ' t think that I ' m fishing. It certainly is sad to leave these walls, but the best of friends must part and all of us music Seniors chaperoned by Dr. and Mrs. Fisher have agreed to meet in London for the Handel festival in 1909. 3 . Raindrops Seated alone in the gathering twihght is an old woman, her fingers endlessly knitting as she rocks gently back and forth. Her wrinkled face is softened by the white hair which is like drifted snow against the dark cushion of the big rocking- chair. It is in the early spring, but the weather is cold, and a little fire is still flickering on the hearth. The ceaseless patter of rain on the roof is like a sad, low- song. What a melancholy picture the old woman makes, the fast fading day light, and the dying embers of the little fire alike typifying, her own life nearing ninety years. But she is not thinking of this, for she is back once more in the land of long ago. As she listens to the falling rain, her knitting drops from her fingers, her hands rest idly in her lap, and a faint smile brightens her features. She is no longer an old woman in the twilight hours of life, but a girl again with a joyous future before her. She is again at boarding-school in the dormitory with a score of other girls, all as happy as herself. It is bedtime, but as the teacher hai? gone out, the girls are making the most of an opportunity to have a good time. At one end of the dormitory the lights have been turned out and a group of five are trying to shiver over a ghost story ; but finding it impossible while so much fun is going on around them, they finally give it u]). Standing on one of the beds, a whit - fobed elocutionist is calling forth much applause from a very appreciative au- dience ; but just as she comes to a tragic passage a pillow is thrown by one of the girls, and a wild chase follows. In the midst of it all, the door opens, and in walks the teacher. How shame-faced the girls look, as she passes quietly into her alcove without a word of reproach. They creep to their beds very meeklv and ouietly. and are lulled to sleep by the rain on the roof. The next day dawns dark and dreary. It is the last week of school and the rain has been falline steadily for sev- eral days, as if in sorrow at the departure of the girls who will soon leave the school silent and deserted. The day has started wrong. First, late to roll-call, then to breakfast ; next a hard English lesson. The girls go to class, and oh, how the hours drag! Finally they hear the bell, and now it comes home to them that this is their last day together ! When will they all meet there again ? Life is not so bright after all ! .And just see how it is raininf; ! Wiih heavy hearts they linger om tc say good-bye, for no one wishes to go first. Why, grandma, what have you been dreaming about ? I came to take tea with you, and you greeted me with such a sad sigh ! The old lady starts up and looks around bewildered. Surely this is not the English room? and where are the girls? She catches sight of her grand-daugh- ter ' s laughing face, which recalls the present, and smoothing her rumpled white hair and picking up her knitting, she remarks with a smile and a sigh, It is still raining. Margaret C. Haughton. 38 Fable of the Freshman Who Missed i A little Freshman had a monstrous crush on a cold and nau ' hty Senior, and the Freshman bored the Senior full of holes whenever she came near her. The Senior said that satellites gave her tlie ])ip. and he was certainly not a spoonoi 1. So she trampled on the Freshman ' s young affections heartlessly and in a very ruthless manner, and poor Miss Freshie angelized from afar, and made a vacancy whenever Her Royal Highness appeared. Rut as time wore on in the ceaseless course poor Freshie cried. Revenge. Revenge! I will have justice. and proceeded to conjure up new and striking ways to give vent to her pent up feelings. One early May morning when the sun was shining brightly, and the birds were singing cheerily, and the wind was blowing crisply, and the cock was crow- ing lustily, and the dogs were barking boisterously, ect., etc.. etc.. our buxom little lass washed her face to a shiny ])ink and embarked on a great expedition. Her purse made a huge sacrifice, out of which issued every palatable implement of tor- ture which might remind Her Majesty of civilization. These efforts towards friendship were conveyed to the High and ] Iighty One by a true and faithful .sympathizer, who knew how to tamper with sentiment, having committed to memory all of I ucile and the sentimental accom]ilishments of Keats and Shelley. Result, the cloud broke and smiles appeared. On this bright May morn, our Senior ' s countenance was a rival to nature ' s own coatcoverings. This conde- scension, which resulted in the rapturous exstacy of the Freshman, saw its finish ere many moons. For just when Freshie was chucking herself under the chin, and saying that she could stand in without continually doing the lay morning stunt, the final icicle froze. ] Iiss Senior treated her in such a frigid way as to quell in the infant breast the burning passion, though she herself w as the starter thereof.

A vigorous fall campaign put it on a secure basis at the start, and an equally vigor- ous initiation two weeks later impressed its progressiveness upon the fifty-seven new members. An attractive program Women as they Figure in the World ' s History, has helped to keep the meetings up to the standard in attendance and interest. The impromptu speeches, always brief, witty, and original, have been one of the most exciting features of these meetings and have been a pleasure to both speakers and hearers. The society room with its harmonious walls and hangings has also been a factor in making the meetings more delightful. The Honorable Adlai Stevenson graced the Open Meeting of the Society with his presence this year, and favored it with an excellent address. It is not dealing in futures to say that the year-end banquet is going to prove a brilliant climax to an unusually prosperous term. The following toast from an absent Pi bears witness to the hold the Society has upon the loyalty of its members. — Sec ' y. For dear old IT we lift on high Our glasses sparkling clear, Of her we boast To her we toast Our Society so dear. Whether far or near there is no fear TUit that we will be true We ' ll speak your name With naught but fame For honor is your due. — L. F.

' This year welcomed into the Society more members than ever before, and their record has been indeed praiseworthy. The awful rites of initiation could not be adequately administered to so large a number in the fS Hall, so the Studio was chosen as the favored place, and then there followed a scene of jollity and light-hearted fun, — possibly a few shakes and shivers happened between times, but — ! When during the year American Writers were studied every girl did her part faithfully. Debates brought out the abilities of those who like a good intellectual tussle, and the Thanksgiving and the Christmas celebrations rejoiced the hearts of all who love these tim e-honored holidays. The girls wdio are 07 Seniors intend to leave be- hind them a picture, as a love-token to their dear old Gamma. Honorary members and out-of-town members still keep a fine enthusiasm, several girls who are now at home have promised pictures to further brighten up the rs Hall : the older friends entertained the Society one afternoon with songs and readings of mingled fun, pathos, wise counsel and patriotism. The whole fS family, indeed, is closely bound together in the loving en- deavor to be worthy of the chosen color in true blue every inch, faithful, staunch, — and at the same time heart-red with ardent zeal and high ambition. So striving, the Society will stand for all that is hopeful and uplifting, all that is truly meant by the impassioned hue of the imperial, lofty purple. Violets He came slowly dow n the broad stone steps — his handsome face set in very determined lines. An absent look in his grey eyes showed his thoughts to be far away. Unconsciously he bent his steps towards the business part of the city, his mind far from the turmoil of the busy streets — in the room with the girl he had left behind him. They had parted and it was forever. He was sure he was in the right — never never would he beg forgiveness and yet — how he loved her ! But she was too unreasonable — and again, his lips set in a straight line. At this mo- ment across his senses a subtle perfume — he stopped, a new light coming into his eyes. He was in front of a large florist establishment and the show window was filled with a huge mass of purple violets peeping out from among their green leaves like messengers of spring. Violets — she had worn them in her hair the first time he saw her — he re- membered as if it were yesterday, how they had looked half-hidden in the dusky waves — and then that night on the river with the moon turning the water to silver and lying white on the banks around when he had first whispered his love to her — the tiny bunch of violets so close to her heart — had breathed hope and en- couragement to him before his ear caught her softly whispered yes. Around all those first golden days of their love the fragrance of the violets was twined in a strange inexplicable maimer — they seemed the symbol of their love and now — ■• he was looking at them alone while With a sudden bound he was within the shop and in a few moments emerged, bringing in his arms a great bunch of the long-stemmed flowers. Quickly he retraced his steps, his eager thoughts already in the room with her. He entered without ringing, softly opened the library door and stood a mo- ment a little dazzled from the light without. The girl was seated at the table in an attitude of unspeakable dejection, her brown head resting on her outsretched arms. She had not heard him enter, and, as he watched he could hear the (|uick intaking of her breath and see the shaking of her shoulders. Crossing the room to her side he dropped the violets in her lap, and, touching her hair with his lips, Girl, he breathed. She raised her head — a dazed look in her eyes — then as they fell first on the flowers in her lap, and then met the love-light in his eyes, the light of a great joy shone through. As their lips met the bunch of violets fell unheeded to the floor. Their work was done. D. L- 4r, A Glimpse at the Faculty Somebody ' s long and skinny, Somebody ' s lank and slim.

M. How to Study Caesar First, go all round your home, and collect all the books which have anything to do with Caesar. Then take them into a room, in which there are at least two people, who know all about Latin. Seat yourself in the middle of the floor, and open some of your books at the vocabulary, some at the notes, and one at the chap- tc- which you are to read. Sit still for about ten minutes and wish very hard that Caesar had died young, and that you had never heard of Latin. You read a little while, then ask first one, and then another of the people in the room, what this word means, and how do you translate this or that sentence. Then after working hard in this manner, for about an hour, you close all your books and say, Thank goodness. I have my Latin ! ' Ruth Thomas. Latin Hour Between half-past five and supper When dusk is besjinnin fj to lower Comes a pause in our day ' s occupations That is known as Miss Gordon ' s hour. From our rooms we can see in the dim Hg-ht Ascending the narrow stairs Full many a P. C. maiden From Freshman to Junior fair. They whisper and chatter together And we know by their mournful din That they must have missed their Latin And are on their way to stay in ! They enter the room from the stairway (With no sudden rush from the hall) The door is ever wide open And Miss Gordon welcomes them all. She sets each one down with a T. atin And ere they can bid her adieu Each word they have missed in the morning Must be learned and recited anew. She has them fast in her fortress And before she will let them depart They must have the whole Latin lesson Word for word, in their innermost heart. (With apologies to Lono-fellow) D.

C. 55 Athletics As the College realizes more and more the increasing- importance of athletics in the College world she inspires her daughters to greater ef¥orts on the basketball field, on the tennis courts, and in the gymnasium. Miss Critchett, our physical director, is herself making every effort to raise the college standard in athletics, and has the interest of both Faculty and Student Rody more aroused than it has been in many years. In. addition, the Athletic Association formed this year is doing splendid work towards getting our athletics into order for competitive bas- ketball and tennis with sister colleges. Though the class basketball teams are unorganized as yet, the College team is working hard to present a fair showing with the more experienced teams she may chance to meet. Many go out for basketball and few are chosen, but the others are doing their part in building up the team and deserve all the encouragement they can be given. The two tennis teams, with the prospect of the Racket and Pen- nant Tournaments in the spring are showing unusual interest and keep the courts well occupied. The tournaments for the representative team of P. C. are set for the early spring, and to judge from some of the practice noted it seems as if pretty good material would show up. There is also much progress being shown in the gymnastic work. Exercises are given which have corrective, hygienic and ediicational value — altogether, more interest than ever before is being shown in this department. Tn short. 1906-7 is to all appearances the most promising season that P. C. has ever had. and we who are so interested in this work are proud of the supreme effort our old College is making to uphold her name in athletics, as she always has upheld and will uphold it in all else. Finally we close, that with whatever the future may have for us out in the wide, wide world, there are loyal P. C. hearts that will always re- member that which we work hardest for now and hold the dearest — our athletics. — K. S.

He stopped to rub his stiffened joints and his comrades looked with tender sympathy written over them from their broad faces to their leather tij s. We had gotten through the first set and started on the second. The score was 30-love and I was beginning to feel the strain on my heart-strings when the crash came, and it was a crash in every sense of the word. lUid evidently didn ' t realize that it was getting colder every minute and that we rackets were almost too tight to last, so she served us a hard ])all.

' Poor thing! you certainly have my sympathy, said a pretty little Wrigst and Ditson. The Spaulding smiled grimly It s the first Tve had. 1 wish you could have heard Alec and Rud laughing. Even Gary poked her head through the broken glass and joined in the fun at my expense. 64 Yes, said the Wrigst and Ditson, absently, somebody has to pay for an- other window pane. Well, said a little tennis ball, I ' m sure I don ' t think anything much ot that. I reckon I just get knocked back and forth and up and down all the time. It ' s nothing to be thrown so hard that you break a window glass. I don ' t see why you are grumbling. With a haughty glance the racket answered. You forget, sir, that you and I are not of the same origin. ' ' Well, yours isn ' t anything to be proud of.

Thereupon the other balls rushed to his rescue and came back at the rackets everytime they received a blow. It is doubtful what would have been the outcome had they not been rescued by the op- portune arrival of the big basket-ball, who was of a peaceable disposition and much opposed to fighting or squabbling. Why blow me up! what ' s the matter? I don ' t call this a ' love set. ' The rackets, fell back and still tense with excitement told him of their insult, while the little balls fairly bounced up and down in their rage. The gruff old basket-ball -tried his best to soothe them but he found it hard to pacify both sides till a happy thought struck him. I have it, come with me.

Oct. 12. — The Auditorium of the Presbyterian College was the scene of a wedding Friday night. Miss Doug- las Hendrix, a most beautiful and ac- complished young lady of Greensboro, was married to Mr. Alec B. Alexan- der, a well known citizen of Char- lotte. The stage was tastefully decorated with ferns and palms. Before the ceremony Miss Irving Harding sang most exquisitely Because God Made Thee Mine. The little flower girls, Misses Bes- sie Atkinson and Clara Alexander, en- tered first; they looked like dainty fairies in their gauzy pink dresses. The bridal party entered in the fol- lowing order: Miss Helen Bridges with M. R. Wharton, Miss Cordelia Harwood with E. L. Hudson, Miss Nealie Belk with H. N. Atkinson, Miss Mabel Stokes with L. T. Davis, Miss Virginia Haynes with R. S. Griffith. Miss Latane Clopton with M. D. Shep- herd, Miss Katharine Cramer with L. R. Lander. The Maid of Honor, Miss Fannie Bland Graham, and the Dame of Honor, Miss Dorcas Lott, then en- tered together. The bride, gowned in white lace over taffeta, entered next leaning on the arm of her father. She was met at the altar by the groom, accompan- ied by his best man, Mr. M. H. Mor- ris. The Rev. K. S. Shepherd per- formed the ceremony. After the wed- ding party Mr. and Mrs. Armour Hen- drix, the bride ' s parents, gave a large reception, at which many of our most prominent people wished the happy couple success.

On Saturday night Mr. and Mrs. Alexander were tendered an elegant banquet by the members of the bridal party. The long table extending the length of the room was beautifully decorated with cut flowers. The whole atmosphere was quite Frenchy; the black coats of the men formed a back- ground for the exquisite gowns of the ladies, a picture not soon to be for- gotten by the Whirl ' s reporter. The menu, served by the Denny Cafe, came up to the usual standard. The bride and groom were toasted in many clever and witty speeches. ■ ' Honesty is the best policy — not about contagious diseases, though! Ghosts Walk. Much excitement prevailed last night, when the halls of P. C, usual- ly enlivened by gay laughter and girl- ish voices, were filled with silent, softly treading ghosts who spoke only in whisper. A procession formed at the great front doors, and after wind- ing in many intricate figures, proceed- ed up Tryon street, astonishing the natives. On their return they were conducted into the gym, where their future was revealed to them by the Witch and Wizard of Endor, assisted I by the Devil himself and another Ghost. After this the ghosts proved that their long sojourn in the grave had not injured their appetites by consuming a great many peanuts and bananas. No physician likes to take his own medicine — note the attitude of the Faculty in regard to the quarantine! 68 Charming Occasion. The festal hall of the Presbyterian College was once more a scene of fes- tivity last night when Miss Anna Forbes Liddell gave a masquerade party in honor of the engagement of Col. L. Lander and Miss Katharine Cramer. Sturdy cowboys, brave U. S. cavalrymen and saintly monks danc- ed gaily with Colonial ladies. French maids, gypsies and fencing girls.

Although there is great rivalry be- tween the literary societies of the Presbyterian College — the Gamma Sigma and the Pierian — it is not of the bitter variety which forbids fre- quent exchanges of courtesies. One of these pleasant functions oc- curred last night when the Gamma Sigmas entertained in honor of the Pierians. Besides the members of the sister society, their guests were the student body of Davidson College, and a large number of young men from Charlotte. The guests were met at the door by Misses Frances Owen and Lucile Dob- byn and ushered into the reception room. Those receiving here were Dr. and Mrs. Bridges, Miss Lily J.,ong, who is an honorary member of both societies: the Gamma Sigma sorores in facultate — Misses Gordau, Porter, Anderson. Grey, Wade. Ramsay, Powe and Mrs. Stuart: the seniors of the society. Misses Helen Bridges, presi- dent: Cary Graves, Eloise Rankin, Kate Hope Robinson, Gertrude Mel- chor, Inez Crump, Margaret Nair, Mary Owen and Nellie Van Stewarc. Of the Pierian Society, Misses Louise Alexander, president, and Lucy Har- ris. In the hall the guests were met and introduced by Misses Bessie and Hel- en Atkinson, Armour and Cordelia Harwood. and Adelaide Orr. The punch bowl was in the care of Misses Margaret Nair and Gertrude Melchor. At the favor table in the dining room, were little Misses Mary Bridges and Mildred Means, the form- er gowned in the colors of the Gamma Sigmas — royal purple and white — and the latter in the gold and white of the Pierians. A very attractive scheme of deco- ration was daintily carried out. In the teachers ' parlor, pennants and flowers whispered that true blue is emblem of the Presbyterian College. In the hall the presence of the David- son students was gracefully acknowl- edged by a pretty arrangement of black and scarlet. The walls were adorned with scores of pennants, rep- resenting many different schools and colleges. In the reading room had been observed the watchword — The royal purple lift on high, for this room was sacred to the Gammas. Their colors and emblems spread everywhere, and the air was sweet with the fragrance of the society flowers — English violets. In the stu- dents parlor, across the hall, blos- somed the jonquils, spring ' s offering to the Pierian muse: and here the white and gold reigned supreme. In the supper room all distinctions were laid aside, and here the purple and the gold were mingled. 69 The officers of the two societies are as follows: Of the Gamma Sigmas: Miss Helen Bridges, president; Miss Mary Owen, vice-president; Miss Eloise Rankin, secretary; Miss Gertrude Melclaor, treasurer, and Miss Inez Crump, cri- tic. Of the Pierians: Miss I ouise Alex- ander, president: Miss Mary Pressley, vice-president; Miss Marie Sioane, sec- retary; Miss Lucy Harris, treasurer; and Miss Bleeker Reid. critic. — From Charlotte News.

That the best of people do not al- ways practice what they preach was illustrated the other night when as the town clock struck the hour of twelve, our much reverned Faculty had a midnight feast. At this lonely hour stealthy figured kimonos were seen stealing along the halls apparently in deadly fear that the girls would catch them. As they are not all as young as they once were they considered the roof a little too chilly, and chose instead the dining-room. They were regaled on oysters and pickles, and other deli- cacies. The Dean gave a charming toast to The Fourteen Spinsters Present, to which Miss Dittmar re- sponded most gracefully. Then with many smothered giggles, and half-suppi ' essed whispers, they sought their rooms. And the strange part about it is that the next time some unlucky damsels were caught trying to imitate their example they were restricted. Fruit Cakes Candy Parnum and Pailey. We are glad to be able to state that Miss Potts has recovered from her at- tack of scarlet fever. We know Dr. F. will be glad to hear this news. EVENTS OF THE YEAR. Parnum Pailey ' s Biggest Circus on Earth Within Our Walls. For many days the walls of our venerable institution have been en- livened with gorgeous posters adver- tising the last appearance of Parnum and Pailey, the greatest show on earth, and last night when the event finally came off, expectations, which had been raised to the highest pitch, were fully realized. At an early hour young and old might be seen wending their way to- wards the tent, where for several hours all were delighted by the an- tics of Lucy, the giraffe; Otho, the ostrich, and many other beasts from • he jungles of Africa. Pink lemon- ade and peanuts were dispensed and the occasion was pronounced by all to be a return to those happy days of childhood so soon forgotten. Cupid Among Us. That Cupid is a sly little fellow and can penetrate the most learned walls was proved when Miss Winifred Pierce became the blushing bride of Mr. Best. We had noticed for some time that Miss Pierce was unusually absent- minded, showing great interest in clothes and the best methods of house- keeping, and was much given to read- ing in secluded corners, letters ad- dressed in a masculine hand. Yet it came as a great surprise when we learned that she would not come bacK any more, but in a liouse of her own will put into practice her ideas on housekeeping. We congratulate Mr. Best on his charming bride, and wish them health, happiness and prosper- PARNUM AND PAILEY Everything to Eat. AUNT CLARA ' S CORNER. Heart-to-Heart Talk With Girls.

After this home-like gathering even the students who had not then joined the Association knew that it was more than a name, for they had seen the ])ractical value of at least one side — the social work. In October an extended view of Association work everywhere was g iven by the delegates to the Asheville Conference. These delegates brought back many hcl])ful ideas, which have had a pervading and lasting influence on all the work done throughout the year. Just before Thanksgiving six delegates attended the State Convention at Greensboro, and there they were so greatly interested they returned literally overflowing with enthusiasm for Association work. Near Christmas the girls held a bazaar for the Conference Fund of next summer. One of the old students, now a missionary in Japan, had sent to Miss Long hand- painted pictures for sale, and these were a great attraction ; besides, man) of the girls dressed in Colonial or Japanese costumes, and in this way added to tlie suc- cess of the evening. The fifty dollars resulting from the bazaar will enable the Association to send double the number of delegates to Asheville. 80 At Christmas time tlie annual public service held in the College Auditorium was a real uplift and inspiration; and the Association feels deeply grateful to Dr. Hardin, who brought us a Christmas message, and to Dr. Fisher, who kindly arranged an.d directed the musical i art of the worship so full oi glad tidings. In order to relieve the depression caused by the un.fortunate quarantine, the meml)ers of the Cabinet gave an evening of recreation and social enjoyment by having ' a regular old-fashioned Children ' s Party. Though anxious to develop the social feeling among its members, the Association did not forget their spiritual in- terests, for after earnest prayer on the i)art of the members for a revival, Mr. Martin conducted a series of meetings which resulted in the voluntary decision of six girls to join the church, and also in a decided spiritual awakening through- out the College. During the whole ) ' ear the nieeetings arranged by the ]levotional and Mis- sionary Committees have been interesting as well as helpful. The IVfission Study Class, moreover, has been much larger than ever before ; two other encouraging signs are that a number of new books on Missions have been added to the -Association Library, and that the Literature Committee has kept the girls well supplied with religious i)apers for Sunday aftern(jon reading. The Finance Com- mittee has done especially good work this session. The little Chinese girl sup- ported by the Association seems to have greatly ap])reciated the kindness she has received, and her (juaint little Chinese letters have given great pleasure to her American friends. ()utside of the annual budget, moreover, a special contribu- tion of more than twenty dollars was raised for the famine sufferers in China. Another year of service is on record, and the record shows increased interest in social, in devotional, and in missionary work. Afay the great Master see also, on the part of every member more hearty obedience to His commands, more ardent desire to act according to His own words: Xot to do mine own will, but the will of Him that sent me. 8i The Lady from Philadelphia ' Suggests 1.

That Examinations should be abolished — they wear out alarm clocks. 16. That the day ])upils associate more with the boarders — it will broaden their minds. 17.
