None — none on earlh above her, As pure in thought as angels are To see her is to love her. Four years ago a little girl, still wearing her hair in curls, came to P. C. under the protection of an elder sister. She showed a wonderful determination even then, and an independence of spirit which marked her as a future leader. Strange to say, however, her most striking talents were not discovered until her Senior year — her remarkably ability in answering Questions, and her extraordinary endow- ment of musical genius.

We regret more and more each day that Ollie reserved only two years of her school life for us. We feel that we never could have got along without hei. Pier gaiety, her thoroughness, has influenced us all, and we envy her her composure and understanding when she IS answering Dr. Jimmie. Lai.a Bailes, B.A., HA Pineville, North Carohna Her greatest ambition, n e regret to stale Is simply this — to graduate. Perhaps within the realm of mildness and gentle- ness LaLA most truly finds her place. It is with untiring zeal that she enters upon her school duties, rising so early in the morning that all her neighbors have learned to depend upon her as their alarm clock. She knows full well that circles are not squares, but what the difference is that Fluellen is Welsh in;tead of Eng- lish she has not yet learned. In spite of the fact that the Old North State is her home, Florida has a most peculiar attraction for her. But, wherever she may live her future life, we are sure it will be one of usefulness and happiness. Sixteen Katie Neel Cochran, B.A. rS Parklon, North Carolina President Y. W. C. A.

From her shall read the perfect mays of honor As in the olden times the name itself bore testi- mony to the character of the person possessing it, so today we find that Katie has lived up to her name of purity. We have often wondered why her name did not suggest a dreamer, too. Just as surely as we leave her alone for a minute or two, that far-away expression, which suggests a distant object of attention, creeps into her eyes. But Katie does not give all her time to dream- ing, for when duty calls she enters upon her work whole- heartedly; and thus, for what she is and does, we love and honor her. Valera Council, B.A., r 2 Lake Waccamaw, North Carolina Class Tennis Team ' 12-13. To see her is to love her. And love hut her forever In the fall of 1911, there came to us from Young ' s College an attractive little black-eyed g rl who, with her sweet disposition and her winning smile, soon captivated the heart of every member of our class. If you are sad and in trouble, there is no one who can show you more sympathy than Valera. If you are blue and homesick, there is no one who can cheer you up more quickly than Valera. If you are feeling mischievous, and want to do something real mean, there is no one so ready to help you ao Valera. And besides all th s, there is no one who can bring a broader smile to Uncle Jimmie ' s face than Valera does when she strikes the Very point he is fishing for in Psychology. Altogether, Valera is one of the girls who ' S going to be most sadly missed at old P. C. in the years to come.

Whale er she did was done wilh so much ease; In her alone ' twas natural to please One Belmont has given us Portia; another has given Melva, who like the resident of the first has taught us Uow mercy may be gently given to this earth. It was by her little k ndnesses, so freely and so cheer- fully bestowed, that she won a place among us which time will not be able to efface. Myra Eugenia Lofton, B.A., r S Chattanooga, Tennessee Modesty is a grace of the soul Coming to us from Statesville College, in the middle of the 11-12 term, and being naturally a shy little lady, we hardly knew her until she came back to wear her cap and gown. Then her studiousness attracted our attent on, and with her sweet, lovable disposition she won for herself loyal friends. So in her easy way she went through school until Jun:or Speaking came, but then — she left her accustomed path, and went, to Davidson (?). Eighteen Dorothy Nims, B.A., n A Mount Holly, North Carolina Her air so modest, her aspect so meel(. Yet so smeet are her charms Three years ago, DoROTHY came to old P. C. to continue her search for knowledge. A very quiet, proper, and modest little maiden is she. Sometimes in Ethics it is very hard for her to convince Dr. Bridges that she does see the point, yet in the field of literature, she is very well read. To be a kindergarten teacher is her aim, so we hear. Her quiet and gentle ways will soon win the hearts of all the little folks. Ruth Rainey.

She doeth little l(indnesses IVhich most leave undone, or despise. For naught that sets one ' s heart at ease. Or givelh happiness or peace. Is low-esteemed in her eyes. ' To know Ruth means to love her. She has cheerily sung her way into the hearts of all of us, from the smallest Freshman to the most dignified Senior. She has also obtained the good will of our faculty, even the most exacting members, the two Drs. and Mrs. Wade — an honor which only a favored few enjoy. She is everybody ' s friend, confidante, and playfellow. Dur- ing her four years of college life, she has been among the leaders of her class; and the long list of offices which she has filled shows the high esteem with which her classmates regard her.

Grace ' is in all her steps, heaven in her eyes. In every gesture dignity and love Gentleness, thoughtfulness, generosity — these vir- tues belong to Edna. Her friends appreciate her for her sincerity and loving ways. Edna ' s worst fault is going home to spend every week-end; but this can be forgiven, for her suitcase is always laden with chicken and cake on her return. She is content to struggle with her classmates up many mountains; but when she comes to the one called French, she reaches the summit ea ily, and from that seat of honor pleads with the Dr. ' to be patient with her crippled friends. It is rumored that she IS to be the French instructor of Andrews, N. C, next year. Louise Spong, B.A., IT A Charlotte, North Carolina Treasurer Class 11 - ' 12; Lawyer Class ' 12- ' 13; Annual Staff ' 12- ' ]3. And she is fair, and fairer than that word. Of wondrous virtues Last year, a dainty little ma ' d came from C. H. S., to continue her search for knowledge at P. C. She arrived with a splendid record, having won a scholar- ship while in the High School, and now she is prepared to receive her d ploma, unless a divinely tall man proves a disturbing element. Her sweet disposition makes her beloved by all who know her, and her charm- ing manner made her constant search for Ads. a marked success. Her going forth will leave a vacant place in the hearts of those she leaves behind.

Faithful, gentle, and good. Wearing the rose of rvomanhood Ethel is the bright and shining light of the Senior Class. If in Logic you come in contact with a syllogism that you cannot work out, just ask Ethel; she will make it all clear. Or if you are doubtful about important points in Ethics, just go to ExHEL, she will soon explain all your doubts away. But Senior History Class is the one in which she is the brightest star — Oh, well! maybe some of the rest of us would be Betas ( beaters ) too, if we had twenty-five bright sparkling little lights pinned right over our hearts to cheer us on our way.

Or as the dial lo the sun Lily joined our class at the beginning of our Junior year, and, as we have found is characteristic of her, at once found her place at the head. There she has remained through Psych. , Ethics, and Senior Math. When others are noisiest, Lily ' s voice is not heard; but when she speaks, we hear — and heed. By her crown ng glory, her athletic fame, and her propensity for doing with her might what her hands find to do, ye shall know her.

O, she ' s ga ! O, she ' s siveel, O, she ' s a wise maid and discreel, O, she ' s rare, and O, she ' s fair. She is everv wa i complete. As a country grieves over the loss of its land- mark, so will P. C. mourn over the loss of one Vk ' hom everyone loves and admires. Beverly first came before tjie notice of all as a winner in basket-ball. She not only carried off all the honors in athletics, but has held a first place in the hearts of all P. C. maidens since, and her name has always appeared in the Annual as one of the most attractive and most lovable girls. Even though she is leaving P. C. this year, her winning ways will never be forgotten.

She is preliy to rvallf rviih, and Tvitiy to iall( wilh. And pleasant, too, to thinl( on Our dainty, attractive, petite RuTHIE has tripped her carefree happy way through her four years of col- lege life here with us. She speaks well in modern lan- guages and English, and is a star in the gym down- stairs; but she finds the exercises in Dr. Bridges ' mental gymnasium rather more difficult sometimes. Ruth ' s voice is her most priceless possession. We, her classmates, expect in future years to be even still more proud of her than we are now, for we are looking forward to her rivaling even Cluck as one of the foremost sopranos of the world. Trvenlv-Ttvo Susie Williams Cowles, B.L., n A Charlotte, North Carolina Class Poet ' 09- ' 10, ' 2- ' 3: Annual Staff 12-13. And as the bright sun glorifies the slf . So is her face illumined rvith her ejie It is useless to introduce Susie to you. She is known and loved by all. She has been with us during Freshman, Junior, and Senior years; but attended C. F. W. in Columbia during her Sophomore year. She is not very strong for spelling, but is some spieler in Psychology. Mary Ella Bangle, B.M., 11 A Charlotte, North Carolina Her gentle speech and modest rva s Left others to accord her praise Although she has been with us but one year, by her gentleness and grace she has won a place in our hearts, and we are proud to claim her as a member of the Class of 1913. Our one regret is that she lived out in town and, consequently, we do not know her as well as we should like. Our prophet predicts that she rhall continue her success as a musician, which she has begun so well here, and shall become one of the country s great concert pianists. This is mere con- jecture; but, nevertheless, whatever her fate may be, she will always have the support and affect ' on of her entire class. Lucy Boyce, B.M.. n a Gastonia, North Carolina Graceful and fair, Ulfe a being of light We regret that the two short years which LuCY B. has made so bright for us by her gracious presence, her beautiful face, her graceful form, and her cheery voice, are so rapidly drawing to a close; but we know that wherever she may go she will prove a strikmg illustration of the fact that a thing of beauty is a joy forever. Being a person who seldom worries over the cares and duties of school life, she spends mo;t of her week-ends at home, where she enjoys life immensely. She is always ready for fun, and has the peculiar though valuable accomplishment of looking so innocent when caught in mischief that the captor cannot bel eve that the injured-look ' ng maid has ever done the least wrong. Ask her about some of her thrilling experiences on Fifth Avenue. She is Not such a star on harmony But she pla )s the piano charmingly Betty Dixon King, B.M , n A Summerville, Georgia Secretary Y. W.

As fair and musical As bright Apollo ' s lute stringed Jvith his hair An extra special edition of royalty; as yet un- decided in which of several hearts she will reign su- preme. When she made her debut on the basket-ball field, in the fall of 1912, she at once laid claim to a place on the Sen or class team, by virtue of her grit and quickness. Strengthening this claim each day, by the end of the season she held the positions of forward on class and all-class teams. You should hear Betty ding a grand piano (or anything which doesn t suit her) ! She goes at it as if ;he meant business. Never- theless, wherever she may be in after years, she will always be a queen among women. Txvenly-Four Marion Abercrombie Jones, IT A Literary Special Greensboro, North Carolina Of all the arts in which the wise excel, Marion ' s chief masterpiece is speaking well Marion not only has a vivid imagination of her own, but she is always pleading with her friends to Imagine! She also has a keen sense of humor. When one has told her best joke, Marion looks up in that in- nocent little way of hers, and says, You think you ' re funny, don ' t you? Often when one passes through the hall on Thursday afternoon, Marion is seen bending over a huge trunk, with the perspiration rolhng off her face. The first few times we inquired as to where she was going, but now we know that it only means that she is going out in town to spend the week-end. Her good training at her beloved Fassy helped her to enter and to stand high in the Senior Class. She has won many friends; and P. C. will miss her in years to come. Sallie Lee Oakes, r 2 Literary Special Sal ' sbury, North CaroHna Although she is small, never hardly grew at all. If she Were not on the list, she would then he sadly missed ! Yes, I write verses now and then. Sallie Lee, although the smallest of our Seniors in stature, is large in wisdom. We may infer from her name, Oakes, the stability and strength of character she possesses. She came to us in her Junior year, and as her ability to wr te poetry was at once recognized, she became the poet of our class. Ever since that time she has been known for her beautiful verses. Our Race of Life IVe crouch as runners at the start. Each with his colors on his breast. Before us, stretching far, the track; The Race of Life is all but on — Forgotten norv the training ' s toil. Forgotten norp the ceaseless rvork — None glance behind, but stare ahead, E es straining for a distant goal. Around us heav hangs a hush. Unbroken save fcp short, hard breaths — Each runner tense upon the mark, Impatient for the starter ' s voice. ¥ ¥ Help us. Oh Cod! Grant this, rve pray — Let none a quitter be! Where ' er the race, whoe ' er may win. May each one run his best. Trventy-Six Senior Class Historv) HERE was a tradition that the number thirteen was unlucky, and always A brought misfortune, failures, or disaster. Of later years, however, this magical number has been attended with marked success and happy fortunes, and the old superstition has almost been forgotten. So it was with high hopes and great expecta- tions and ambitions for the future that nineteen maidens assembled at old Presbyterian to form the class of nineteen-thirteen. The history of our Freshman year is much the same as the history of all Fresh- men, for it is only during the later years in col lege that a class accomplishes things which are to distinguish it from other classes. We, as Freshmen, were looked down upon by the upper classmen, and pitied by the Faculty. Notwithstanding this depressing atmosphere of contempt and commiseration, we summoned courage to organize and at our first class meeting (probably through the guidance of some kind Providence) were able to select competent leaders. We braved the first attacks of homesickness, and as time went on we gained courage and self-reliance. Our first attempt at basket-ball met with great success, for we won a brilliant victory over the Salisbury High School. Our class also contributed one player to the varsity team. In the line of social affairs, we entertained the Jun-ors very successfully. Our intellectual strivings during this year were not followed by any very extraordinary attainments, though we absorbed the usual amount of Latin and Mathematics. That fall, when we all came back with fresh courage and the assurance that we were Sophomores, our number had increased by one. We helped to initiate the new girls, not forgetting the time when we, too, were once Freshmen. We elected as our president May Beverly Alexander, who entertained us most royally in her home during her term of office. Though the year was rather uneventful, we worked quietly and unassumingly, and at the close of the session we felt proud to know that Ruth Rainey, one of our number, carried off first honors of the school. After a summer ' s vacation, twenty-six Juniors came back ready for work. We were glad of the generous increase in our number, and for the promising appearance of the girls. The honor of the presidency was given to an efficient leader, Lina Blakeney. That our class could boast of some very excellent material, was shown when one of our number, Katie Cochran, was chosen as president of the Y. W. C. A. During this year, the memorable game of basket-ball was played with Winston-Salem, the longed-for victory going to our Blue and Blue. One of the most brilliant social functions of the season was given by our Class, in honor of our friends, the Seniors. The banquet was held at the Southern Manufacturers ' Club. This year our Class contributed a creditable number to the honor roll, and again one of our number, Lily Walker, made the highest grade in school. T xoenly-SQMen Another vacation having passed, twenty-one Seniors answered to the roll call. Some of our number had fallen by the wayside, some were forced to give up the journey, while the greater number continued faithful unto the end. We came back with full realization of our Senior dignity, responsibility, and importance. All this com- fortable feeling of self-satisfaction was suddenly and completely upset, when we came in contact with the new Lady Principal and new rules. Our caps andi gowns suffered humiliation for a time; yet we waited patiently, and in due time we came into possess-on of our long-coveted Senior Privileges. The honor of the Class presidency was again conferred upon Lina Blakeney, as a fitting tribute to the ability with which she had served in her Junior year. She has been our leader and has directed us wisely and dis- creetly through trying times. Our Class has stood for adherence to duty, and for the upholding of high ideals for the college. The Y. W. C. A. has had a very successful administration under the presidency of Ruth Rainey, one of our number. The point system was suggested early in the year by our class, and later, under its supervision, made a part of the Student Body Constitution. In regard to our intellectual attainments, we refer you to Dr. Bridges. Though we sometimes miss the point in Ethics, we keep bravely on, and hope that after we have taken a sufficient amount of exercise in his mental gymnasium we may be able to think clearly. It is in History we are reduced to almost utter despair, more especially since losing our beloved teacher, who was always our companion and friend. But these troubles are all laid aside when at twilight we sit on the Faculty steps and sing. Though other Seniors may in the futurd carry out this custom, Senior singing was first originated by our Class ' 13. The history of our class has been one of development. As the time draws near when we shall receive our diplomas, and go forth to fill our positions in life, we realize more and more the deep debt of gratitude which we owe to our Alma Mater. Ttvenly-Eighl Class Prophecxj OMING events cast the-r shadows before them. I never beheved that until recently, when I had it so forcibly shown to me. It started with a few old photographs and a box of school souvenirs. They were the shadows. It had been raining all day, and I am always lonesome when it rains. I had tired of the ordinary routine of household duties, and had gone to the attic in search of something to amuse myself. XJ ' hile rummaging through various trunks and bureau drawers, I found some old photographs, and a box containing a collection of such mementos as every schoolgirl accumulates and keeps without ever knowing just why she does so. As I sat on the floor, with all kinds of things piled in utmost confusion about me, these trinkets served to bridge the span of years whxh had passed since the Class of 1913 graduated, and I completely lost myself in thought, and lived over again the care-free happy days I spent as a college girl — those days which are different in so many ways from any other part of a girl ' s life. Though I found pleasure in idly turn- ing the pages of my memory book, the pleasure was not unmixed with a certain sad- ness, because the pictures I saw seemed so utterly apart from my present life. Suddenly I was brought back to life, as it were, by the whir of the postman ' s aeroplane as he made his afternoon rounds, and I heard the peculiar whistle on his machine which means that he has dropped the mail at our door without stopp-ng. Though I was fully alive to the passing of the postman, the spell of bygone days was upon me, and I was soon back in the scenes of my college days. I was again interrupted by the entrance of a very real maid, who came to bring my mail. There was only one letter; but at my first sight of it there was awakened sufficient cur ' osity to shatter all such frail stuff as dreams are made of. I noticed in taking it that it was very heavy, that the envelope was a large one and carried an unbelievable number of stamps. It looked to be a very long, peculiar letter, and as it turned out later it was long and quite the strangest one I ever received. Womanlike, I held ' t in my hand a few minutes before opening it, wondering why such an extraordinary looking missive had come to me, and what it contained. My cur- ' osity was heightened when I observed that the stamps were foreign. Then I opened it. Below you may read it for yourself. Dear You remember that at college I was class h ' storian. In fact, it seemed a habit for me to be class historian. The duties of this office are usually ended when the class graduates; but, even if I do say it myself, I am qu ' te the most remarkable historian a class ever elected. I seemed such a permanent one that I decided to keep up my duties after we left college. It has been ten years since our class graduated, but today, though widely scattered, each member will receive a copy of th ' s letter. You will find in it an accurate account of every girl in the class. I will not even beg ' n to tell you of the ways in which Twenly-N ine I collected the information, or the disappointments and difficulties I went through in obtaining what I sought. Let it suffice that I did get the facts. Some of the girls sent me, on request, the ' r own stories; but most of them did not. I wonder if they are dis- appointed in thenrseK es ! It actually took a real detective to find out the secrets of one of our class. Anyway, the ' History ' is com.plete, and I am persuaded that it is easier to write a history of the world than of a class of college g ' rls. You will find it a true account of what each has found in life. Here the letter, proper, ended, and the story of the Class of 1913 began: Lina Blakeney, our class president, being devoted to the study of German, spent five years in Berlin, perfecting herself in her favorite subject. She is the only one of the class who is now back at P. C, and there she is known as another Dr. N ' cholay. Inspired in her Senior year by the feats of the suffragette, ' Gen. Rosalie Jones, ' Lily Walk er enl ' sted in the ranks of that famous commander. At present, she is on her fourth march across the Sahara Desert, on her way to advocate ' Woman ' s Rights ' for the women of Gumea. Alone in the world, is Ollie Alexander, alone w ' th the exception of her cat and canary. Her card reads ' Miss Alexander — by choice; ' but whose choice I was unable to find out. In a small Western town called Andrews, there is a neat little sign which says ' Gullick Rankin, the leading florists. We make a spec-alty of old-fashioned flowers, such as Sweet Williams, etc ' On my last visit to New York, I saw in letters a foot high, on Broadway, the name ' E ' leen de Lorrame. ' She is none other than Susie Cowles, now known as ' Queen of Mus cal Comedy. ' I had quite a long talk with Susie, during the course of which I was greatly shocked to learn that our former little Puritan, Beverly Alexander, was one of the irost popular chorus girls m Susie ' s show. Here also I found another of the class, Louise Sponsr, still devoted to Susie. She has traveled with her for many seasons, hav- ing the position of costume designer. Recently I had the pleasure (?) of hearing a highly ed ' fying and mystifying lecture by ' America ' s Forerrost Logician, Miss Ruth Rainey. ' She put up a very con- vmcing argument, too. - Valera Council married, a novel- ' st, and travels a great deal with him in search of material for his work. She wrote me that she had recently seen two of our classmates. While stopping at Palm Beach, she found the proprietress of the hotel was Lala Bailes, and assisting her in its successful management was Dorothy Nims. Followmg up her ambit on to become a trained nurse, Katie Cochran has devoted her I ' fe to alleviating the sufferings of others. Her distinguished services have won for her the position of head nurse at Johns Hopkins Hospital. Thirlv You have probably noticed ' n most of the popular magazines the winning smile on the face of the young lady who advertises ' Dr. Sweeny ' s Hair Restorer. ' Examine this face closely, and you will recognize our class beauty, Lucy Boyce. Betty King, even while in college, was determined to be a miss onary. Her dearest wishes were recently fulfilled, for she married a famous m ssionary, and is now assisting him with his duties in Korea. The world is never slow to recognize a genius, especially a musical genius. Th ' s is plainly shown in the case of Mary Ella Bangle. She is now playing the piano in some of the most fam.ous European concerts. Marion Jones is a kindergarten teacher. Her gift of ' imagining ' makes her success with her little pupils remarkable. Do not be surprised at any time to be called to your door by a lady who expresses an ardent des re to sell you a copy of her most famious detective story, ' Did He Do It? or Who Caught Him? ' Do not be in a hurry to turn her away, for she is our Senior Special, Sallie Lee Oakes. You remember I stated that it took a detective to locate one member of the class. After two years in my employ, he sent me a telegram saying, ' She is the fat lady in a circus. ' Who would have thought Myra Lofton would come to this? Here ends the results of my labor, and you will doubtless agree with me in thinking that the ' Hand of Time ' writes many strange things. You will notice I have not yet told you what has happened to me since I left college. Shortly after graduating, I inherited enough property to keep me comfortable, and, being of a roving disposition, I have spent my t ' me in traveling. Having no home duties to keep me in one place, I have been at liberty to gather the facts which you have just read. Historically yours, Ethel Walker. Having finished this astounding document, I went downstairs to prepare my hus band ' s dinner. And do you wonder that my mmd was.st-ll so befuddled I started off by serving his dessert first? — R.

The class which has grown in size and knowledge since last year, when it was known as Freshman, might at first have been likened to the ivy ; but this green bed -n the garden has proven to be not an evergreen, twm ' ng itself together, a mass of leaves, but has developed into blooming flowers of various kincU, which, if the fates are pro- pit ' ous, will constitute the Class of 1915. Now, as we enter this wonderful garden, I beg my reader to take a sweeping glance over this bed. Looking toward the center you will find olr cc Tnander and leader, known by her botanical name as Queen of the Meadow, but to us as Mary Carson. Beside this promment flower is the Narcissus, Isabel Woodworth, bloom- ing with attractive fragrance and lovel ness, and sharing the duties of the Queen. From this little bed of authority, turn to the left, and see Libbie Blue, who asserts that in her full bloom she will be crowned with an Old Maid ' s Bonnet, playing the part of a Bachelor Gi ' rl, who wears Bachelor ' s Buttons. Beside the Bachelor Girl, grows a very modest plant, known by Mr. Bergen as The Quaker Lady, and by her class members as Mary Coll ' ns. To keep this dignified plant company, a bed of Sensitive Plants, consisting of Ollie Davis, Helen Clinard, and Annie Surig, stand huddled together. They are very shy, and easily affected by the touch of the passer-by. Near the fence — and this, by the way, is the faculty, which keeps the flowers within their proper sphere — grow several flowers of unusual attractiveness. A Sweet Briar, Maude Stroup, grows near this fence. If she is handled too roughly, she will leave a stinging scratch, but yet she does much to make our garden beautiful. This, however, ;s not the only dinger to the fence; for there is a Loving Vine, Mary San- ders Howell, who has completely wrapped herself around one of the pickets. As the summer heat comes on, the little vine w ' ll lose its hold and fall to the ground to pine for its support, which it can reach again only in the Win(n)ter months. One plant, which takes a great deal of roo.m, since it is the Elder of them all, Grace Gullick, appears as if she were soon going to wear a Br ' dal Wreath; while close beside her stands our newest plant, the bright blooming Nasturtium, Nell Young, who has so recently been transplanted into our garden. As we turn to leave this section, a faint murmur is heard coming from one of the fair flowers, which asks, Love me. Love me not? — Florence Murphy ' s continual cry. Forty-One A meek Primrose, Julia Harris, next attracts our attention. She is so prim and modest as she stands with head bent forward, that she will not even send to Sweet William one of her glances. Next to the rose ?s a very unusual plant, the May Apple, which we recog- nize as May Hinson. Th ' s plant, along with the Wild Balsam, Annie Stevens, has a heahng power for the sister flowers, and both will some day cure many a sad heart. Now, my good friends, since you have gone with me so patiently through this section of the garden, let us return to gaze once more upon the Queen, and upon the sister flowers that stand at her right. First comes a bed of Twin Flowers, Maggie Yorke Houston and Katharine McDonald. One of the peculiar features of this bed is the likeness of the two flowers, in size, disposition, and manner. To be sure they do not always agree, for sometimes when the winds blow strongest, the little flowers separate, but sooner or later the storm passes and leaves them still growing side by side. It seems a shame to place an Obedient Plant, Cordie Parker, beside the naughty Twins. but this was done in order that the dutiful plant could look after their welfare, and report to the Queen. As we turn to come back, looking at the flowers on the opposite side, our eyes are dazzled by the brightness of one lovely flower, The Star — little Mary York Johnston, who outshines all the other members of this garden. Nearby, we see one very haughty plant, who says to her sisters Touch me not. From her thistly appearance, she is known as a Cactus Plant — Julia Ellen Hamrick. Standing as near as the cactus permits, is a Lily-of-the- Valley, Lynn Richard- son, known to her sisters by the sweet fragrance she gives forth when among them. Bordering the walks of this garden is the little Violet, Mary Watson Vaughn, so dear to all, who gives every passer-by a look from beneath her leaves which causes them to stoop and gather. Everyone knows these lovely flowers need to be watered, in order to live, and one of the flowers takes it upon herself to water her sisters with Job ' s Tears, shed on a blue Monday by Mary Virginia Levy. To cheer and brighten the pathway of those who may walk in this garden is Traveler ' s Joy, Evelyn Blake, who scatters sunshine along the way. Beside her is Venus ' Looking-Glass, Eulalia Austin, whose appear- ance shows a frequent use of one. And now, as we turn to leave this garden of ours, we bid you watch the Class of 1915, for the buds now unfold-ng promise to bring fame and glory to their Alma Mater, and decorate many places of renown. — AsHBY HeRRON Forly-Two Class Organization Motto: Conare Esse Primus Colors : Dark Blue and Cold Flowers: Violels and Jonquils 4, 4, OFFICERS Bonnie Austin President Elizabeth Scales _._ Vice-President Dorothy Knox Secretary and Treasurer Ethel Rea .

The first impres- sions were rather unfavorable, and there was many a heartache and homesick pang; but the old girls soon made us feel perfectly at home. We felt really very important when a meeting of the Freshmen was called in which the class officers were elected. Since then, there have been many trials; but a sufficient number of pleasures to make life worth living. Chief among these was a brilliant reception, which was most delightful. And now we have passed through the joys of Christmas holidays, the nerve-rack- ing, mid-term exams., and the mingled pleasure and pain of reports, and are looking for- ward to the time when we shall no longer be considered the babies of P.

In that class was a girl by the name of Olive Green, who was nicknamed by her classmates Greenie (because of the striking appropriate- ness of her surname). When the English teacher asked the students to write an original short story, Greenie immediately began to search through all the magazines to find some subject around which her imagination could construct a story. She planned to spend one Sat- urday evening closeted alone, that her imagination might have full sway over her reason- ing powers. But alas! that afternoon a great temptation came to her, in the form of an invitation to visit her grandmother. She hesitated at first, knowing she had this short story to write, a book to read, eight pages of German to translate, and a History test — all to be done by Tuesday — and an engagement on Vlonday evening besides. But suddenly a storm arose, and the great wind. Homesickness, swept over Greenie. The poor weak maiden fought and struggled for a time, but was finally swept off her feet by the mighty power of the fresh impetus in the form of Greenie ' s two sisters, who were on their way to their grandmother ' s. And so it was that, on Saturday evening, Greenie was one of the group of girls and boys sitting around the big old open fireplace, popping corn, cracking nuts, and eating al! kinds of good things found at grandmothers ' houses. Everybody was interested in the conversation, with the exception of Greenie, who sat staring into space, searching in vain for a subject suitable for a short story. Not being able any longer to bear the burden of the responsibility alone, she startled her companions by exclaiming in a distressed tone: Do, please, somebody suggest something for me to write a story about! The crowd was a very altruistic one, so in an instant silence prevailed — a thought- ful silence, which boded great things for Greenie. Various topics, such as The Weather, and Love, were suggested; but as the weather was very unfavorable, and as Greenie had already written one love tragedy, which had been most scornfully rejected by the instructor, the perplexed little maiden could not think of choosing either of those subjects. Just as the clock struck twelve, the door closed behind the departing guests, much to the joy of Greenie, who not being accustomed to such late hours was almost over- come with drowsiness. In a short while, silence prevailed throughout the whole house. Morpheus seem- ingly had every occupant under complete control; but his grasp gradually slackened, and Fifi})-Six finally he was forced to take flight himself, for the whole house was resounding: I can ' t! I can ' t! It is unmerciful for you to ask it! You should not punish m.e for not doing what I have not the faculty to do! The entire household was in confusion, trying to locate the strange voice. Following the sound, Greenie ' s sister rushed into her room, and discovered that Greenie was having nightmare. Somebody had demanded a short story, and was threatening her with a zero if she did not write it. It took Greenie some time to recover from this fearful dream, but finally, after taking something to quiet her nerves, she dropped off to sleep, and did not awake until ten o ' clock Sunday morning. Having had breakfast and gone to church in great haste, she did not think of the story until she was seated in a quiet 1 ttle pew. Greenie was horrified to find that she had been so careless as to cease thinking about that story for a moment. To make up for lost time, she began to think more intently than ever before, and did not realize that she was in church, and that a fine sermon was being preached, till the congregation lifted up their voices in song. Greenie was so mortified because of her evident lack of appreciation of the importance of laying aside secular affairs on the Sabbath Day, that she determined to put the thought of an original short story entirely out of her mind, which she succeeded in doing during the afternoon, much to the enjoyment of herself and the others present. Taking pleasure in the care-free feeling, and being occupied with other duties, too, Greenie did not take up the subject again for consideration until five o ' clock Tuesday morning, the appointed day for the stories to be handed in. She had been out to a recep- tion the evening before, and had gone to sleep between twelve and one o ' clock. Con- sequently, at five o ' clock, she could not force her eyes open, and her mind simply refused to awake, so she immediately fell asleep again, and slept sweetly until three minutes before time for breakfast. Being a quick dresser, Greenie reached the dining-hall in time to be served to some delicious hash. At the sight of th ' s new dish, an inspiration came to her, and she became suddenly possessed with the idea of writing a poem on Hash, instead of a short story. Greenie was so thrilled she had no t ' me for eating, but applied her mind dili- gently to find something to rhyme with hash. Hash! Hash! Hash! Would that I could dash Dish and all into the trash. Fifty-Seven This was as far as she could get with her poem ; so at last she gave it up, and went back to the story. Only three hours before the Senior English would meet! One of those sixty- minutes periods was to be spent on a History test, and another in the Modern Language room with the Dr. (These two appointments quite enough in themselves to upset any girl ' s mental equilibrium!) Only one hour left for that story! Her friends will never, never forget the sad picture of the girl in mental distress. Greenie sat at the desk with a blank paper before her, and nervously handled her pen — ten, fifteen, twenty, thirty minutes passed, and still no thought come to her. She closed her eyes, and suddenly a diploma appeared and slowly vanished. Greenie fully realized the significance of that vision, and she straightway determined to put something down on paper, knowing that two- thirds of a zero would not be as bad as a whole. This determination resulted in her writing a brief account of her own experience in story-writing. Greenie knew that she had not written a story, and she trembled at the idea of giving such a paper to the English instructor ; but with tears in her eyes the poor chagrined student timidly placed it on the desk, and in inexpressible agony awaited the consequences. — L.

EXECUTIVE BOARD Sk etch of Work HE Young Women ' s Christian Association, standing at the head of the rehgious hfe of the College, not only supplements the school work, but also brings us into touch with the worldwide movements both of the Association and the Church. Its sixty-seven members, through the religious meetings, gain direct knowledge of social service and of questions which daily present themselves, and through mission study obtain an insight into the problems in our own and foreign lands. Perhaps the greatest good, the most vital work, is accomplished by the Good-night prayer-meet- ings, held every evening at the close of the study-hour. Last year, for the first time in our work, systematic giving was introduced, and though one year was not sufficient to show what could be done, yet one more year has proved it to be wonderfully successful. Two delegates are to go to the Biennial Convention in Richmond, and four are to be sent to the Summer Conference at Black Mountain, N. C. What we have been able to do in carrying out our aim To bring Young Women to Christ, to build them up in Christ, and to send them out for Christ, we attribute to the interest and help of the Faculty and the willing co-operation of every member. Sixly-Elghl Soc ' ietv) HE first social event of the year at Presbyterian was the reception given the new girls by the Y. W. C. A., on the night of September 20. Of course, everyone was very much excited, and we donned our glad rags joyously. When we reached the rotunda, with our gallant escorts, a gay picture was presented. It was hard to tell a new girl from an old one, for all were talking as if they were old friends instead of mere acquaintances. We played many amusing games, asdsted by Miss Hodgdon and Miss Ames. Cards and pencils were given each girl, the object of the game being to see how many names could be signed on the card in three minutes. Then Going to Jerusalem took us back to our childhood days, and caused much merriment. Madame Orndorff added much to our pleasure by singing several charming songs. Delicious refreshments were served, and when room bell rang we were sure the clock was wrong. Da nty invitations were received on September 28, from the Pi Delta Literary Society, requesting our presence at a reception. The rotunda and parlors were beautifully decorated in their colors, white and yellow. A delightful musical program was rendered by Miss Stokes, Miss Carr, and Miss Adelaide Moseley. Miss King gave an amusing reading that brought forth much laughter. After this program, hand-painted cards were distributed, and the guests took their places at tables. Progressive Anagrams was played, and much enjoyed. The color scheme of yellow and white was carried out in the delicious refreshments, consisting of a salad course, served by Misses Moore, King, Taylor, and Walker. Then dancing closed a very pleasant evening. 4- 4- In proof that tea is not the inalienable right of old maids, the young maids of the Gamma Sigma Literary Society opened their hospitable doors to the girls and Faculty in a charming afternoon tea, October 5. We were welcomed by the officers of the society. Misses Walker, Gullick, Rankin, and Ethel Walker. After a time spent in social chat, delicious and dainty refreshments, consisting of tea, sandwiches, Charlotte russe, and mints, were served by Misses Harrel, Maude and Fannie Stroup, and Ethel Rea. The colors of the Society, royal purple and white, were used attractively both in the decoration of the hall and in the refreshments. The enjoyment of the evening was much enhanced by the delightful numbers rendered by Mme. Orndorff, Miss Stokes, and Miss Carr. At last the low descending sun reminded us that we must go, so we reluctantly said farewell to our hostesses. On that dark and mystic night when spirits and spooks are supposed to be abroad, and show you by supernatural signs what your future will be, a big frolic was held at Presbyterian. The most impor- tant feature of this event was the delightful dinner we had. The dining-room really made one feel as though she had stepped into the land of Hallowe ' en goblins. Each table had been decorated most attractively by the girls. Black cats, ghosts, pumpkins, and autumn leaves were comb ' ned with artistic results. But when dinner was served, decorations were forgotten! In the rotunda, later, g oblins (of a substantial nature) held full sway. Then a miniature circus given by Mrs. Patterson with her trick pony and Dutch dogs proved uproariously successful. Thanksgiving Day was very much enjoyed by all the girls. In the morning, we attended the serv- ices at the Second Presbyterian Church. At three o ' clock, we went to the football game between David- son and Wake Forest. It was a most exciting game, for— much to our delight— Davidson won. Seventy The long-looked-for concert by the Wake Forest Glee Club was given in the Auditorium that evening, and immediately aftervk ' ard an impromptu reception was held for the guests. The rotunda and parlors were soon a scene of much merriment, and everyone seemed to try to make the evening as pleas- ant as possible. The time passed all too quickly, and our guests left, voting the reception a great success. A short time before the Christmas holidays, a message was received by the students of Presby- terian College, stating that, on the evening of December 13, Santa Claus wanted to pay a visit to the Pierian Society and their guests, the Gamma Sigmas and the faculty. When we went into the Hall that evening, a bright and Christmasy scene met our eyes. Directly in front of us was a large chimney, capped w;th mow. On one side rose a symmetrical tree, reaching to the ceiling, and fairly blazing with lights and laden with gifts. After a few minutes, Miss Ollie Alexander was handed a telegram, which she read aloud. It was as follows: I regret to say that during my journey from the North Pole my aeroplane was wrecked, and my visit will be a little delayed on that account. If Dr. Nicholay and Miss Porter will tell you how Christ- mas is spent in their native countries, it will be greatly appreciated by Santa Claus This request was greeted by applause as Dr. Nicholay came forward and told in her entertain- ing manner, not only of Christmas in Germany, but of the origin of the celebrations held. Miss Porter made a very instructive and interesting talk, telling us how Christmas was epent at her own home in England. Just then bells were heard, and in came Santa Claus, accompanied by two of his sprites. They took the gifts from the tree, and Santa presented them with appropriate remarks. Each person present received a gift, showing one of her characteristics, thus affording much amusement. Fruits and candy were then passed by the sprites, and the evening closed with a German song by Miss Ruth Rainey, and a piano number by Miss Stokes. One of the best times we have had this year, was at the Christmas tree given for the college ser- vants. This was held the night before the Christmas holidays, in the gymnasium. A large tree stood in one end of the room, heavily laden with gifts and candy. Around it were large trays of fruits, nuts, and candy canes. The servants sat on one side of the tree, and came forward as their, names were called. Miss Hodgdon made an ideal Santa Claus, and her antfcs amufed the children very much. Uncle William gave a sample of old-time shuffling and bowing as he went to receive his gifts, and was much applauded. Mary Mooney and Leonora were made happy with more toys than they could carry. Every servant about the place was remembered, even to William Henry. After the gifts were distributed, a big Cakewalk was held, the winners to receive a large, beau- fifully-iced cake, displayed on a table nearby. The judges announced that Dora and Susie were entitled to the cake, and Hattie and Angeline to the second prize, an umbrella. The evening closed with nine ' rahs for Santa Claus and the holidays. On the evening of February 17, the Annual Reception by the Faculty and Student Body of Presbyterian College was given to their friends. The building never looked more beautiful than when the girls had finished the decorations. The front hall was festooned with Southern smilax, and banked with ferns and palms. Here Mrs. Patterson and Miss Holliman welcomed the guests. The receiving line, composed of Dr. and Mrs. Caldwell, the Faculty, Class, Society, and Y. W. C. A. officers, stood 5evenfji-0ne in the front parlors. A color scheme of pink and green was beautifully carried out in these rooms; smilax and La France roses were used everywhere in profusion. The rotunda was a miniature forest of evergreens, while festoons of cedar hung from the lights. In the center, stood a pyramid of cedar trees and palms. Above the rotunda, was stationed the orchestra, which dispensed delightful music during the entire evening. The Society halls on either side of the rotunda resembled flower gardens m their dainty decorations. The Pi Hall was a bower of yellow roses and smilax. In the center of the garden, stood a punch bowl, in a latticed arbor of roses and vines. Here a delicious orange ice was served. The chandeliers above were covered with tiny rosebuds, pro- ducing a mellow light in the room. The Gamma Sigma Hall was beautiful in their colors of royal purple and white. The ceiling was hung with graceful wisteria, so real you could imagine the fragrance. In every po sible place these lovely blossoms were festooned. In one corner of the room, in a trellis covored with wisteria vines, was the punch bowl, surrounded by lavender and white sweet peas, which was very popular. Late in the evening, refreshments were served in the spacious dining-room, in which an attractive color scheme of red and white was carried out. 4- It is a dangerous business to deal in futures, but as the plans for commencement and May Day are almost completed as the Annual goes to press, it will not be inappropriate to give a short sketch of them. This year Presbyterian College will usher in the month of May with a befitting May Fete. The exercises will be held on the front lawn. The chief feature of the occasion will be a large Maypole, while attractive costumes of various descriptions will be worn, and folk dances will help to remind us of the old English May Days. Commencement, that time as mournful and as inevitable as death and taxes, begins May twenty- third. That night, the Grand Concert will be given. On the night of the twenty-fourth, the societies will give their receptions; while at noon of that day the Alumnae Banquet will be held. It has not been definitely decided at this time who will preach the Baccalaureate Sermon. The final exercises are to be held on the morning of the twenty-seventh. Sf VtTi l)- Tri ' n The Mijsterious Black Bascfue IT was a dull summer evening, when a number of us girls were again grouped around our old neighbor. Feeling drowsy and dull as the evening, we were quite content to sit and listen, while our friend, a delightful old jady, who had had many interesting experiences in her youth, talked, partly to us, partly to herself. Dreamy and mysterious it seemed to us, sitting there in the dusky twilight, yet real it was, and this is what she told us. Many years ago, when I was quite a girl, I was invited to Hillsboro, to visit my Uncle Tom, He was my favorite uncle, so you can imagine with what readiness 1 accepted the invitation and began lo make preparations for my trip. I packed my trunk with great joy, and was especially careful to put in my best dress, a heavy black brocade silk, which had been given me by my uncle. Of all my clothes I liked this dress best, partly because of the rare beauty of the silk, and partly because it had been my aunt ' s. ■ I left home on the day Aunt Sarah had mentioned, and when I arrived in Hillsboro darkness had fallen. After retiring, I did not waste many moments in thinking over the events of the day, but quickly fell asleep. Morning came all too soon for me; but, as 1 d d not wish to delay the breakfast, I arose when the fam-ly did. When I awoke, the first thing I saw was a black cat, the sight of which surprised me very much, as I had thought that I was entirely alone ' .n the room. The next surprise came when I opened my trunk. There was my cherished black silk basque, with one of the seams entirely ripped. This startled me very much, as I could see no possible way for it to have been done. When I went down to breakfast, I had not fully recovered from the surprise. Aunt Sarah and Uncle Tom noticed my pal- lor, but I assured them there was nothing wrong with me; and we sat down to breakfast. That ripped seam preyed on my mind until I determined to relate the incident to Louise Har- rison, a cousin of mine, who lived just a short distance from Aunt Sarah ' s, and to ask her if she could help me to solve the problem. When she came, over that afternoon, I told her what had happened. When I had finished, she asked me to take her to my room. As we went in, she closed the door behind her. Then she asked me if I remembered that, during the lifetime of Aunt Margaret, Uncle Tom s first wife, there was one room in the houee which my aunt never used, but always kept locked. Louise then explained further that it was in this room that one of Uncle Tom ' s brothers had been killed, and from that time on such strange noises were heard there that Aunt Margaret always spoke of it as the haunted room. I said that I remembered, and at the same time recalled that a black cat had formerly haunted that room. Louire then informed me that Uncle Tom ' s second wife. Aunt Sarah, had changed the arrangement of the house, and not knowing or not believing that this room was haunted, she made it the guest chamber. That was the room she had given me. This rather startling information made me feel a bit nervous, but I said I would stay in there one more night, and see if anything fur- ther happened. When I retired, 1 made sure before I put out the light that the black cat was not in the room, for I thought it might possibly have ripped the team. The next morning there was the cat in the room and —another seam ripped. I again told Louise what had happened, so we arranged with Aunt Sarah, w th- out her knowing why, for me to spend the days with her and the nights with Louise. We then went to the room to get some of my clothes to take to Louise ' s with me. Scveniy-Three While I was pack ' ng, Louise thought of a way to find out if any human had so noiselessly ripped the seams of my dress. She said if I would be willing to risk the chance of having my other clothes ruined we could try a simple plan of catching up with the intruder. I eaid that I would risk It, and we went to work. We placed three chairs over pencil marks made very dimly on the floor just under the legs of the chairs; then placed my clothes on the chairs, with the black basque on the bottom of one pile, and with pins and ribbons dropped over the clothes. We then made a memorandum of every article, just as we had placed them on the chairs. How any human could get to that dress and rip a seam of it without moving fomething out of its place seemed totally beyond the realm of possibility! We left the room, locked the door, and took the key with us. The next day we hurried anxiously to the room. There we found things exactly as we had left them — except that one more seam was ripped. Not a pin was moved from its place, not a fold was disturbed. We again arranged the clothes in the same way, and again the next morning we found things exactly as we left them, except with another seam ripped, and not a sign of the threads which had been pulled out. We repeated this plan morning after morning; and each day found things the same, and still no trace of the ripper. ' At last there was only one seam left stitched. I was almost frantic, and could bear it no longer, so, without saying one word to Aunt Sarah about what had happened, I packed my trunk, and came home. I immediately told mother about all t hat had occurred. She told me to bring her the dress. When I had brought it, she rolled it up into a ball, threw it into the fire, and sa-d to me: ' Child, never say another word about this to anyone. ' I did as she said until now. You, my childdren, are the first since then who have heard the story. Realizing that the narrative was ended, we gathered ourselves together and went home, feeling even too mystified to bid our hostess good-night. Our last words, as we laid our sleepy heads on our pillows, were of black cats and black basques, and our waking thought was: Can it be true? Sevenly-Foiir 76 College Life As l Sounds No, my son !

The Pvlisses Roseola and Chicken-pox have been visiting at Infirmary House. Miss Roseola also spent some time on Third Floor Boulevard. The M ' sses Mumps were charmingly entertained at Apartment Seventy, at a house party of three weeks ' duration. Many delightful entertainments were given m honor of these interesting visitors. One of the most pleasant of these occa- sions was a reception given by their re- spective hostesses on the day after the arrival of the guests. Those invited to these enjoyable affairs were received by their hostesses, becomingly gowned in white, and by the guests of honor. Miss Roseola wore a beautiful pink dotted creation, and Miss Chicken-pox a charm- mg costume of wh ' te with touches of crim- son. The swellest of the guests of honor, the Misses Mumps, wore soft clinging gray dresses with white sashes. These beau- tiful costumes were designed by the famous designer. Dr. Alexander, and made by Mademoiselle Ashby, modiste, who has recently returned from San Atonum, where she spent three years in a special study of these designs. The guests made merry over the new game, Talk Through the Keyhole. Solitaire was also a favorite amuse- ment, while the hostesses entertained their guests with a beautiful rendering of the new music entitled. Examinations. Delightful refreshments of sweet milk, books, and good wishes were served. (Co i !iu rd OH Pase Eigii y- One) Rejjort College Board of Healtli Miss Annie Stevens i? suffering from sleeping sickness.

Miss Givan had said must all go to chapel, and Dr. Nicholay had said we must get that French. I hadn ' t opened my French book, so it was up to me to skp chapel, and do so; for, when it comes right down to brass tacks, I ' m a good sight more afraid of Dr. Nick than I am of Miss G. So, as chapel bell rang, I rose from my seat, and pulling out my comb so that my hair flipped over one ear, remarked to the nearest girl, I guess I ' ll have to fix my hair. As the Faculty doesn ' t believe in being vain, the only mirror available to us day-pupils is in one of the gym. dressing rooms. Hither I wandered, and having reached the mirror unm.olested, I put my comb back in my hair, perched myself on the rickety bureau, and awaited results. In the dead silence that followed the sound of marching feet overhead, I could distinctly hear breathing in the next room! It couldn ' t be! Yes, it was! As my plait was slowly but surely rising on end, I heard a smothered giggle. My plait descended, and I heaved a s ' gh of relief. There is only one person in the world that can giggle like that. Corinne, I whispered, guardedly. Silence — broken by another giggle — then, in a piercing stage whisper, Is that you, Dorothy? Yes, who ' s with you? Elizabeth? Oh, no! with heavy sarcasm, it ' s Miss Givan. At that moment I heard Miss Givan starting down the gym. steps. Well, we ' re stung, in a resigned tone, from me. I ' m so optimistic! No, we can get out the door on the other side of the gym, if we hurry words of wisdom from Elizabeth, the resourceful. In relay races, one is going some to cross the gym in ten seconds. We d ' d it easily in half that time! Once out of the gym, Elizabeth, who was still in the lead, turned sharply to the right, and made for the hedge that separates the tennis courts fro.m the fields at the back of the college. Corinne and I followed with blind faith, los ng combs and hair- pins at every stride. Just behind the hedge we stopped to reconnoiter. Suppose we go over in Dr. McGeachy ' s garage, suggested Corinne. This was agreed upon, and we had started across the alley, when Corinne saw Rosa Bridges grazing a little distance from us. Rosa looked up and mooed a pleasant, Howdy! and Corinne, who isn ' t fond of cows anyway, in her nervous condition took that moo for a bellow of rage. She shrieked, threw up her hands, and took to her heels. Now Rosa is a pleasant sort of creature, but when she sees anyone run from Eighty-Five her, she thinks it ' s her duty to chase them. So she immediately started for Corinne, and Ehzabeth and I, being between the cow and Corinne, thought it wise not to argue with her. That shriek of Corinne ' s was our undomg, for Miss Givan, who had returned to study hall, heard it, and came to the window just in time to see us flying into the garage. Once in the barn (it was a barn before it graduated into a garage), we looked through a dirty little pane of glass, and to our horror saw Josey gracefully (? ) tripping (literally) across the field, and making straight for us. With a mad scramble, we opened the nearest door, and plunged mto what we afterward found was a cottonseed meal bin! As we lay chokmg and gaspmg m total darkness, Josey entered and started the search. We heard her movmg around, and then — silence! After an eternity, I stirred and whispered, firmly choking back my heart which was attempting to climb out of my mouth, She ' s gone! That whisper was enough — Josey was not gone. She pounced upon us like a cat on a nest of rats. Pulling open the door, she peered into the darkness, and croaked fiendishly, Uh-huh! I see you all, and I ' m going right straight and tell Miss Givan. She turned and was gone — Miss Givan will come right after us. We ' ve got to get out of this. But there ' s only one door! We were tragic — even the sight of each other, posing as living statues in cotton- seed meal failed to arouse so much as a sickly grin. There ' s a window, again the resourceful spoke. There was, indeed — accurate measurement, two feet square. We can ' t get through that. You see if we don ' t. — ! — ! — ! — three wild scrambles, three rips, and three screams — the impos- sible was accomplished, and we were flying down the railroad, leaving a trail of ties, collars, and portions of clothing, but with that blessed, garage between us and our pur- suing foe. We ' ve got to go to the Hawkins ' , and clean up, I panted into Corinne ' s ear, and received an affirmative nod in reply. Into the Hawkins ' we went, scared the cook into convulsions, and took possession of all the soap, water, pins, and brushes we could lay hands on. As History bell rang, our three angelic figures climbed the stairs to our lessons. W e were greeted by a buzz of excitement and much laughter, but even the exc tement of being called before the Dean was tame to what we had been through, and we failed to see the joke, for our sense of humor had been left behind, with the other portions of ourselves, in Dr. McGeachy ' s garage.

Still he had not come, and ' twas late — late even for the last night of Commencement. The man left his seat on the banisters to walk down the moonlit porch to a swing in the shadows at its far end. Almost all the lights were out; few could be seen about any of the college buildings, or on the misty campus. The man let his thoughts go back to his l ast Commencement here, four years ago — to the excitement, the forced gaiety in the rush to crowd the hours full, with that dull, aching feeling of sadness underneath. Engrossed in his thoughts, he scarcely noticed the couple who came up the walk, except to decide that the boy was not the one he waited for. He heard the usual good- night words; saw the man lift his hat, and walk briskly away. The girl turned to go into the house, hesitated, and he heard her say softly to herself: Ouch! but my feet ache! How these slippers hurt! Steadying herself against a post, she calmly kicked off the slippers, one after the other. The first went only a few yards, but the second skidded, down the porch through the moonlight almost to the man ' s feet. He straightened up, catching h ' s breath; but the girl seemed entirely unconscious of his presence. For a while she stood silently looking out over the campus ; then with a sigh she picked up the nearer slipper, and came slowly after the other. He watched her come out of the shadow into the moon- I ' ght, straight towards him and the slipper; without thinking, he caught it up and stepped forward into the light, holding it out to her. The g rl stopped short with a startled gasp. One moment she stood m otionless ; the next, the man was alone in the moonlight with the slipper in his hand, while the only sound was the patter of stockinged feet as the girl fled into the house. -Ir ± •• Prince kept the slipper, and vowed he would wed no other maid than her whose foot it fitted. Then he searched far and wide throughout the land, and many fair ladies there were who tried in vain to wear the slipper. — Cinderella. 4. I ' ll surely be on hand to bid you godspeed when you are ready to start on your wedding journey, wrote the man. But, Ben: I can ' t find My Girl! I ' ve hunted every- where, but with no luck. You know, ' twas on the last night — Well, when I began to inquire the next morning, she had left, and I couldn ' t find where she had gone. Never- theless, I am going to find her yet. Nmet )-SeVcn As he had prom ' sed, the man went to his friend ' s wedding, doing his share in all the festivities, yet always thinking of His Girl, as he called her. Even as he waited with the merrymakers for the appearance of the bride, he lived over again the night when he saw His Girl the first and only time. There was a shout of greeting from the impatient guests as the bride paused at the head of the stairs, smiling down at the laugh- ing, chattering crowd below; then tossing her bouquet out over their heads toward the eager hands of the bridesmaids. For a moment there was a good-humored scramble; then one girl broke away from the group to whirl round and round in a gleeful dsnce. the precious bouquet held fast. The man watched her as he had watched many times since he came — fascinated; almost wishing he had not sworn to himself to be true to that picture in his mind, of a girl with a soiled slipper in her hand, standing as still for an instant and as fair as a statue. At once the crowd swept the dancing girl out of sight, as they rushed forward to greet the bride anew and escort her to the carriage. The man followed the crowd, thinking of another girl, and a slipper that he carried in his pocket — one worn from much handling. He stopped on the steps of the house, while just below h m the little bridesmaid stood, still with the huge bouquet; but now in her other hand she held a slipper, poised to throw at the bridal couple. The man ' s heart seemed to stop; then raced madly. He knew that slipper. His hand shot down to close over the hand below. She pulled to free herself without glancing up, then turned. Where did you get that slipper, he asked, sternly? Why, it ' s my own, she replied. Please, let it loose! Oh they ' re gone, and I didn ' t get to throw it — but the man still held the hand and the slipper. Do you knov where its mate is? he asked. I think — I — I lost it last June. Will you please let my hand go? Teasingly he answered, I wonder if you can get that slipper on? It is so small, I don ' t believe — Indeed I can. Come. I ' ll show you, she laughed. The crowd had gone back into the house; they were almost alone. She sat down on a bench, pulled off her slipper, and quickly put on the soiled one. As she bent to look at it, the man ' s hand went into his pocket, reappearing with another slipper — the slipper he had carried so long. Breathlessly he held it out. Try this one, he begged. She glanced at it, started, and blushed; but held; out her other foot. He knelt beside her, drawing the other slipper on. 4, 4, ' The slipper fitted perfectly; the Prince was overjoyed; he knelt and claimed the maiden as his bride. — Cinderella. — L.

Not only in previous years have all forms of athletics been heartily supported, but since the very beginning of this year an unrivaled interest has been manifested by both students and Faculty. The new material promised to be exceptionally good, and has more than fulfilled our hopes in its development. Although late m the season, class basket-ball Vvas played with vigor and enthusiasm, much excitement being aroused. Even in the coldest winter, the tennis courts have been very popular. Commendation is djje a number of the girls for their perseverance and improvement in this branch of college athletics. Tether ball was introduced in the autumn, and for some time seemed to fascinate the Faculty as well as the students. The track and field work has been demonstrative of the skill and thorough training of many. In spite of the fact that intercollegiate contests have been forb ' dden by the President, the year ' s work as a whole has been very successful — successful, not in producing a few stars to the neglect of all others, but successful in developing a large number of dependable and promising athletes, to whom the college may surely look for fine work in the years to come. — L.
