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 History 4 4 In the month of Sciitcniher of the year nineteen hnnch ' cd and four, a band of maidens, strangely named Freshmen, gathered in the halls of P. C, ; in. the month of Se])tember of the year nineteen hundred and five, this same band of maidens again erossed the threshold of P. C, but they were no longer Freshmen, for by some invisible means their names had been changed to Sophomores. 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. ' e have been warned of the man ' trials and tribulations that will come to us during this year, but we intend to press on bravely and trust in that old motto, (Jui ' ult X ' incit. ( )ur band lias changed greatly since first we entered the doors of this college. Some few have fallen from our class. 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.
