IVoiilc! thai mji horse had the speed of ihy tongue. Abigail is our Class Historian as well a s History star in general. As a Faculty Pet ' she is a fair rival of Mary Shellon; as a Philosophy spieler she has won renown, and if the broad road of Life will prove as smooth for her as the path thvough col- lege has been, we might well wish to be her companions. 15 %THE EPELWEI MARY LOIS ANDERSON, B. A., II A Charlotte, North Carolina Glee Club, 1913-14; C. H. S. Club. Happy am , from care I am free! Why aren ' t they all contented lil(e me? Lois has won a name for herself on the basket-ball court, and in her the Senior Class can boast of an athlete. She is also our representative artist, and spends much of her time in the studio with Miss Cobb. Her happy-go-lucky disposition has brightened many dark hours (Psych periods) during our college days. CTHE EPELWEISS MAUDE ELVA BEATY, B. A., V Charlotte, North Carolina Annual Staff, 1913-14; C. H. S. Club; Class Track Team, 1912-13. IVearing all thai weight of learning Lighily like a flower. Search the college records through and through and we dare you to find a single tardy, absence, or an unprepared recitation against Maude. She never expresses her opinion, unless asked for it; but when she does we all sit up and take notice, also notes. It has been predicted that she will be another Miss Newton, and lucky will be the college which enrolls her in its faculty. 17 CTHE EPELWEI RUTH BRAWLEY, B. A., V :2 MOORESVILLE, NoRTH CAROLINA Vice-President Class, 1913-14; Secretary Society, 1913-14; Y. W. C. A. Cabinet, 1913-14; Annual Staff, 1913-14. Whose Hide body lodged a might)) mind. Ruth IS so very shy and modest that only her intimate friends know her true value and the greatness of her mfluence. Studies come first in her life, and she can always be de- pended upon for prepared lessons. When not poring over her books, she may be seen strolling on the campus, her little golden head making sunshine for us on the cloudiest days. 18 CTHE EFELWEI MILDRED BUTT, B. L., H A Charlotte, North Carolina Glee Club, 1913-14. Lillle hearts do fluller al a beau. We all think that Mildred has gained sufficient experience at serving punch at col- lege receptions to make quite a graceful hostess when she settles down to housekeep- ing. Her fluent translation of French suffers impediment only when she miscalculates her paragraph. By personal magnetism she has won for herself many loyal friends during her career at Queens (and Davidson). 19 THE EPELWEI JONNIE LITTLE CARR, B. A., r S Charlotte, North Carolina C. H. S. Club Thy modesiy is a candle lo ihy merit. Jonnie is one of these quiet girls who never speaks unless forced to by a question or circumstance. Her wonderful memory has been a source of grief to her in Philosophy, but we consider her indeed fortunate in the possession of it. Her nature IS exacting and positive to the slightest detail, and with these characteristics we feel that her success in life is assured. 20 %THE EFELWEI ANNIE DEWEY CHAMBERS, B. A.. II A Charlotte, North Carolina President Class, 1910-11; Vice-President Class, 1911-12; Class Track Team, 1911- 12; Class Basket-Ball Team, 1911-12; Class Tennis Team, 1911-12; Vice-Presi- dent n A, 1913-14. Her vcrj; froivns are fairer far Than smile. ' i of other maidens are. One glimpse into those mischievous, blue eyes will tell you that Ann is the life of our class. She has not only upheld the reputation left by her sister, Miss Eliza- beth, but has added to that many delightful characteristics of her own. She is loved Ly the entire student body, but most especially by the Pienans; and we often wonder who will be able to so efficiently fill the vice- presidency another year. ■ , 21 CORNELIA JORDAN DOWD. B. A., II A Charlotte, North Carolina President Class, 1913-14; Class Tennis Team, 1911-12. Could I love less I should be happier. Corn has been given the ability to lead, and in whatever phase of college life she enters upon her influence is immediately felt. She is one of the few Seniors who can boast of an angel, and it is quite noticeable that she is thriving on her diet of Angel ' s Food. Her time is divided between danc- ing, suitors, letters, and studies — and how she makes the schedule work so successfully still remains a Senior mystery. CTHE EFELWEI , BESSIE LEE FLOWE, B. A., n A Expression Graduate Charlotte, North Carolina Class Basket-Bail Team, 1910-11, 1911- 12; Secretary Class, 1913-14; Glee Club, 1913-14; Dramatic Club, 1913-14. Besides, she was a shrewd philosopher, and has read ru ' ry texi and glass over. The college is going to be very lonely when Bessie Lee graduates this spring, for she has been a student at Queens for nine long years. Her time is divided this year between Science and Philosophy, and it does seem that win- ning tens from Dr. Bridges is her favorite pastime, for — A star she are. She bright, she am, She shine, she do. 23 CTHE EPELWEI LEVICY GALLANT, B. A., H A Charlotte, North Carolina C. H. S. Club And smiles on all she pours. Only joining us this year, all of our class have not been given the privilege of know- ing Levicy, but the girls from C. H. S. can never forget her wonderful abilities in languages, especially Latin. In her work among us we wish that she possessed a little more self-confidence and positiveness in reci- tation, thus gaining credit for the store of knowledge which she undoubtedly possesses. 24 FELWEI KATHARINE GRAHAM, B. A., H A Charlotte, North Carolina Class Prophet, 1914; C. H. S. Club. She is a liny thing; She is a winsome thing; She is a bonnie thing. Dear little Jeff came to us this year from The Normal, and, m spite of her size, IS quite an addition to our class. Whenever her curly head appears in a crowd, fun is sure to follow m its wake — she IS simply bubbling over w h humor. Almost all of her work is under Uncle Jimmy, and because of this she has been dubbed his shadow, but not in every sense is this true, for the marks in his little book go to prove that he considers her a shining light in the realms of Bible and Philosophy. 25 %THE EFELWEI OPHELIA HARTT, B. A., H A Charlotte, North Carolina C. H. S. Club. Fast of mind, hul slow of speech. A queer mixture of conscientiousness, fun, and knowledge. She can always be counted upon to do her duly, whatever it may be. Durmg her two years m college this girl has shown her loyalty to Queens by being on hand at all functions; and her loyally to her class is only rivalled by her love for II A. Her cheerful disposition has won for her many friends among us, and it can not help but add others to the list when she goes out into the world. 2(5 CTHE EPELWEI MARY HARRINGTON HARRELL, 3. L., r : McCoLL, South Carolina President Y. W. C. A., 1913-14; Treasurer Society, J913-I4; Secretary and T.easurer Class, 1912-13; Y. W. C. A. Cabinet, 1912-13; Class Monitress, 1911- 12; Delegate Student Council, 1913; Dele- gate Blue Ridge Conference, 1913; Glee Club, 1913-14. Faithful, gentle, and good. Wearing the rose of TvomanhooJ . Mary stands for all that is highest and best in college, and in the Y. W. C. A., which she so well represents. In her un- assuming way she has won the hearts of the girls, and has shown herself worthy of the trust. When our work is overpowering and our hearts are heavy, it is a relief to be near her and to feel the influence of her quiet nature. Those who have heard her sing know her best, for she . ' .is put her whole soul into her music; anrf ' because of this fact we are certain of her later success. J 27 %THE EPELWEI JOHNSIE MARGARET JAMISON, B. A., r i: Charlotte, North Carolina Business Manager Edelweiss, 1913-14; C. H. S. Club; Class Track Team, 1912- 13. A rosebud set mith Utile wilful thorns. Johnsie is the practical member of our class. As Business Manager of the annual she has seen no equal for years, and the way she does all of her work causes us io wonder. Fortunately, she never worries and IS always ready to cheer those whom mis- fortune has crushed, thus assuring for herself a welcome wherever she may go. 28 CTHE EPELWEI JANE MAR LILES, B. A., n A LiLESViLLE, North Carolina Vice-President (Acting President) Student Body, 1913-14; President Society, 1913-14; President Student Council, 1913-14; Senior Member Advisory Board, 1913-14; Dele- gate Student Council, 1913-14; Vice-Presi- dent Class, 1912-13; Secretary Society, 1912- 13; Literary Editor Edelweiss, 1913-14; Grinds Editor Edelweiss, 1912-13. Who chooselh me shall gel mhal man]) men desire. Her popularity is not confined to our class, but extends throughout the entire student body, especially among the under class angels, who fall down and worship. Her record for sincerity, and influence with the facully IS unsurpassed, and as honorary member of the S. H. K. she has won a name for herself. Our greatest wish for her is that she may soon atlain her heart ' s desire. 29 HE EFELWEI SARAH MELLON, B. A., n A Charlotte, North Carolina C. H. S. Club For even iho ' vanquished she could argue stiir Sarah came to college with Mary this year. It was not long before we were all aware of the fact, but we are glad she came. Her fondness for visiting during study hour IS rivalled only by her love for asking ques- tions — no matter what comes up Sarah is always on hand with her wnals, whys, and wherefores. In the same uncere- monious manner in which she first put in her appearance among us, she will depart, armed with her diploma and seeking pleasure. 30 HE EPELWEI MARY ESTELLE PHARR, B. A., 1 ' Charlotte, North Carolina President Society, 1913-14; Class Tennis Team, 1912-13, 1913-14; Society Marshal, 1911-12; Y. W. C. A. Cabinet, 1913-14; Delegate to Blue Ridge Conference, 1912-13. Joyfully I folloTv laughter ' s path, And now and then indulge in Math. Mary is the most care-free and happy little mortal of our acquaintance. Her will- ingness to help in all phases of college woik can not be equaled, but when Sabbath morn- ing comes, her many friends search for her in vain — she always goes home; but who can blame her, since she lives so near? Her fondness for Fanny can not be surpassed, and their friendship will be one of the tright spots in the memories of our class. 31 %THE EPELWEI MARY DUNN ROSS, B. A., n A Charlotte, North Carolina Editor-in-Chief Edelweiss, 1913-14; Class Poet, 1913-14: Y. W. C. A. Cabinet, 1913-14; Class Historian, 1912-13; Annual Staff, 1912-13; Delegate to Blue Ridge Conference, 1913; C. H. S., Club. A pod, no douhl, and an arlisi, too; There s nothing, in fact, ih IS girl can ' t do. Mary Dunn joined our class at the begin- ning of our Junior year, and we have found her one of our most valuable members. She IS chiefly characterized by her love of arguing and her poetical inspirations and aspirations. Dunn is a girl of many interests, and in every department of her activities she is found to be a hard, earnest, and efficient worker. At present her chief ambition in life is to get the annual safely to press. We congratulate her, as editor of this splendid edition of the Edelweiss, and assure her of our pride in it. 32 FRANCES MAE STROUP, B. A., r S YORKEVILLE, SoUTH CAROLINA Vice-President Y. W. C. A„ 1913-14; Vice-President Society, 1913-14; Critic Society, 1912-13; Student Council, 1913- 14; Delegate Blue Ridge Conference, 1913. Her outward charms are even less Than her winning gentleness. ' The purity and goodness of Fannie s soul IS reflected in her face. Whenever she comes among us, the serenity of her nature quiets all discords. Her one trial in college life has been her mischievous sister, who, when in trouble, depends on Fannie to redeem her. The secret of her popularity is the fact that she serves others and in doing so makes her own life beautiful. 33 3 CTHE EPELWEI MARY SHELTON, B. A., H A Charlotte, North Carolina C. H. S. Club Beholding the bright countenance of truth in the quiet and still air of delightful studies. Because of her sludiousness this retiring maiden is little known outside of the class- room. In Philosophy she is a star, for her arguments always suit Uncle Jimmy ' s frame of mind. Her amiable disposition has been a source of envy to many of us, and we also would like to find as straight a path to the hearts of the faculty. We are sorry that she was obliged to spend so much of her time in study this year, for we would like to have known her better. i. 34 ANNA JEANNETTE STEWART, H A Laurinburg, North Carolina Expression Graduate Secretary Dramatic Club, 1912-13, 1913- 14; Secretary Special Class, 1912-13; Glee Club, 1913-14. To see her is to love her and love bul her forever. For Nature made her Tvhal she is ami never made sic amlher. Peanuts came here for pleasure, but upon her arrival decided to try for a diploma in Expression. This ambition is about to be realized, and after that who can tell which of her many talents she will develop further? All of us will miss her, and there will be many lonely hearts when this jolly Scotch lassie completes her work at Queens. 35 •%THE EPELWEI MARY KATHRYNE TAYLOR, B. U n A Rhodhiss, North Carolina Treasurer Student Body, 1913-14; Treas- urer Class, 1913-1 4; Treasurer Y. W. C. A., 1913-14; Secretary and Treasurer Class, 1912-13; Class Basket-Bail, 1911-12. 1912- 13. A smile for all, a greellng glad; An amiable, jolly iDap she had. During her four years in college Katty ' has been voted the sweetest girl, and this honor is well deserved. Her humorous class recitations have been sources of amusement to us many a time, but, in spite of their humor, show prepaialion and masleiy of the subject. As Secretary of the Treasury she has seen no equal, and under wise and skilful guidance the finances of the Y. W. C. A., class, and student body are in a flourishing condition. The class is indebted to her for many of the happy hours spent at Queens. 36 EFELWEI REBECCA PRICE WALKER, B. A., II A Charlotte, North Carolina Class Lawyer, 1913-14; Assistant Busi- ness Manager EDELWEISS, 1913-14. Lei us have peace. ' The keynote of Becca ' s ' nature is peace. This is displayed in her conver- sation and daily life. Unless she can say nice things about people, she says nothing- - an admirable quality. As Assistant Business Manager of Edelweiss, the position of Hoky-Poky man fell her lot, and since then her chief trial in life has been collect- ing for ice-cream cones. Nothing seems to worry her, not even her lessons, which num- ber many; but, after all, why should she fret since she was born under a lucky star, and all things seem to work out for her welfare? 37 %THE EFELWEISS MINERVA GARRISON, H A PiNEViLLE, North Carolina Bible, English, and History Certificates A girl ihou seemesi of cheerful yesterdays and confident to-morroT s. Minerva is our class beauty, and the old saying Pretty is as pretty does is well applied in her case, for she always may be found making herself useful to others, as well as ornamental. AILEEN BUTT, II A Charlotte, North Carolina English Certificate She did not read io forget, nor forget to read. Aileen is a young lady who is specializing in English and pleasure, and, strange to say, is doing exceedingly well in both. Luck is her deskmaie, and as yet he has never deserted her. What a happy world this would be if there were more Aileens ! 39 JANIE FETNER, 11 A Charlotte, North Carolina Expression Certificate Her heart mas in her n orl(, and the heart Civeth grace unto ever]) art. As the heroine of all the college plays, Janie has won a reputation for herself. Psych has been the only shadow across her sunny path, and, by iier cheerful disposition, she has been able to dispel even this and go merrily on her way.

Her abilities do not lie in the musical line alone, for she has proved her intellectual capacities by acting as faculty substitute. This small person is characterized by her independent spirit, and her philosophy of life seems to be — Be still, sad heart, and do not bust. These horrid boys won ' t do to trust. 40 %THE EPELWEI ANNIE STEVENS, H A ' YORKEVILLE, SoUTH CAROLINA Science Certificate Y. W. C. A. Cabinet, 1913-14; Class Tennis Team, 1912-13. There is no ToisJom lil(e franl ness. Annie can oulwork any number of girls when once started. Expects a good time and lias it loo. Her outspokenness is exceeded only by her good looks. ' 1 Got Mine 41 CTHE EPELWEI History of the Class of 1914 HE history of the Class of Nineteen Fourteen is one of natural develop- ment from verdant Freshmen to dignified Seniors. We entered school the fall of nmeteen ten, a goodly number, but quite a few have dropped out of the hard path of learning. We were not aware of the fact, but our experience was similar to that of any other Freshman Class. There were few events during the year that broke the monotony of school life, except the society reception and the recitals given by the music and expression Seniors. We returned after a summer ' s vacation with our number diminished, and, although some of our classmen did not return, their places were taken by others. We never seemed to own so much of the world before as at the beginning of this year; at least that was our feeling until informed by some upper classmen that the word Sophomore meant wise fool. This year flew by on the wings of the wind, and we soon found ourselves at the threshold of Juniorhood. At the beginning of our Junior year our number was greatly increased. This year was not free from its hardships, for we had Psych to contend with; but we were happy, for this was the social year of our existence — one of the greatest events being the box party we gave to the Seniors. Even as Juniors, the reputation of our class had spread abroad, winning admiration and respect. At last the bugle was sounded for the final charge. Our girls exchanged evening coats for caps and gowns and entered the battle. This year, our last, has been the brightest and happiest, but it was filled with sorrow also. We realize how soon our days at Queens College will be over, and how soon will be the parting from our faculty, classmates, and college friends. There is another reason to make our last year doubly sad, we being the last class to graduate from the old college. These four years have been the brightest ones in our short lives, and when we are old and gray we will look back upon them and long to live them over again. We have studied hard, and we have tried to make the best of our opportunities. Having taken this backward glance, we are now ready for the future; ready for the real commencement of our lives, that will be richer and fuller for our having been four years together within these walls. As we go forward, each her own way, let us, in the strength of our youth, ever be mindful of our motto — In Life ' s morning, march! 42 CTHE EPELWEI Class Prophecy, 1914 HERE are three kinds of prophets — the Bibhcal prophet, the weather prophet, and the class prophet. When a Biblical prophet is men- tioned we stand with wonder and reverence, when a weather prophet IS mentioned everybody laughs, and when a class prophet is mentioned every one prepares for a nap. Prophesying can not be classified as one of the popular professions. Our local prophet, who prophesied one night quite recently that we would have a week of fair weather, was forced to rise suddenly during the night and lower his Vv ' indow to keep from being washed from his bed by a heavy rain. He can sympathize with me in my present mission. Now, if you wonder who has the more difficult task — a weather prophet or a class prophet — just ask yourself the question, which is the more changeable, weather or women? But prophetess I am, and prophesy I must. Strange to say, my prophetic visions usually appear to me in the form of moving pictures, with Father Time operating the machine. As Father Time is now ready to focus his prophetic pictures on the white canvas, in the rear, visible to me alone, the ladies wi 11 kindly remove their hats (thank you!). The title of the picture is Fhe Class of 1914 (ten years hence). The scene of the first picture is laid in the large study room of Queen College, at Myers Park. There is a long table, at which are seated numerous girls preparing their lessons. At the head of the table I recognize Maude Beaty, who has been a professor since 1919. She is holding study hall, and, judging from the way her pupils are looking at her, it is useless to say that she has won their admiration, as she won ours ten years ago. The scene changes suddenly from study hall at Queens College to a busy street corner in New York, thronging with militant suffragettes, and with brick-bats flying. Far above the madding crowd I see Johnsie Jamison standing upon a barrel speaking with sweeping gestures. The crowd is cheering, missiles are flying, and window panes haven ' t a ghost of a show. I recognize among the followers, Jonnie Carr, Levicy Gallant, and Mary Pharr. Judging from the scarcity of men, it really seems that the female of the species is more deadly than the male. Like a flash the scene changes to the darkest jungles of Africa. A bunch of black cannibals are chasing a couple of missionaries, who are Bessie Flowe and Fannie Stroup. My, but they can run! The lessons in sprinting that they took while at Queens College long ago are serving them a good turn now. The cannibals are being left in the distance. If Tennyson could have seen this band of black cannibals charging upon the fleeing 43 missionaries, he very probably would have written a mate to his Charge of the Light Brigade and called it The Charge of the Dark Brigade. The next scene is laid in an artist ' s studio and display room on Fifth Avenue. Lois Anderson, who since leaving Queens College, in 1914, has acquired quite a reputation as an artist, is instructing a number of young painters who are gathered about her. Her paintings are now the craze, like Gibson ' s and Fisher ' s were back in the ' teens. As Father Time turns his reel patiently on, I see a large, fat woman walking down the streets of MooresviUe. I am amazed to recognize the countenance of Ruth Brawley, who was one of the smallest members of our class. The operator of the machine. Father Time, has worked a curious prank on her. To be exact, her weight in the good old college days was 83 pounds, 2 kilowatts, 3 pennyweights, and 4 drams; and now, according to the prophetic picture, her weight is little less than a long ton. After an intermission of one minute ( just a moment, please ) to change reels. Father Time turns the crank and I behold a railroad station, across the top of which runs a large sign bearing the inscription, Atlanta, Georgia, miles from Charlotte. The people are thronging around a special train that has just arrived from the North. The spectators all seem anxious to catch a glimpse of the people who have just arrived on this train. The throng suddenly separates and the notable personages are escorted to a nearby Packard, but the crowd is so dense that I am unable to see who is attracting so much attention. The automobile pulls off, and, as the crowd disperses, I behold Cornelia Dowd, world ' s greatest actress, and with her I recognize Abigail Alexander. Her other com- panion is a pensive nun. Who can she be? Strange to say, it is Sara Mellon. The scene again suddenly changes to the Infirmary at Queens College. Ten years have wrought great changes in this quarter. Just a glimpse of the trained nurse in charge, I recognize Annie Stevens. Like Job she seems to have an abundance of patients. I recognize, too, her co-laborers, Mildred Butt and Rebecca Walker. Father Time now shifts the scene to the reading room in the New York Public Library. Seated at a table, I recognize Anne Dewey Chambers, who is evidently col- lecting material for a new novel. The respectful attitude of those around her show that she is recognized as a person of great importance. The next change of scene presents to me Queens College Auditorium, which is crowded with spectators. One of the entertainments of the Lyceum Course is on for this evening. I recognize the entertainers as my former classmates. Misses Harrell, soprano; Gill, violinist, and Stewart, a reader, who seem to be making quite an impression upon their audience. 44 %THE EFELWEI The picture now presents the office of a large manufacturing establishment. In the most conspicuous seat is a woman, who is evidently president of the concern. As she turns towards me I readily recognize Mary Dunn Ross, who was noted for her managing ability back in the college days ten years ago. She was one of the leadmg spirits in almost all the college endeavors. To enumerate the various activities in which she participated would be like reading the index to Sears, Roebuck Company ' s catalogue or giving you a brief sample of one of Miss Laney ' s daily assignments in English. Presently her office door opens and a book agent walks boldly to the desk. Can this possibly be Ophelia Hartt? Yes, for I see the title of the book, which reads, Why I Do Not Believe in Evolution. After a discussion as heated as those held during our Senior year by these two, the agent reluctantly packs her unsold books and departs. The office suddenly fades away and in its stead I see a bridal party coming out of a church. Aileen Butt, the center of attraction, is radiant in her happiness, and is bestowing smiles on all sides. In the crowd I recognize Mary Shelton, leaning on the arm of her husband; and Katty Taylor, a charming widow, freely bestowing tears on a little dog, evidently his dog. The scene finally changes to a quiet little room in which a cat is leisurely warming itself before the fire. On the dresser is a bunch of well-chosen curls; upon the walls hang no pictures of old sweethearts; but, instead, directly over the mantel hangs a framed certificate, which reads as follows: This is to certify that Jane Mar Liles is a charter member of the Alpha Chapter of the National Man-Hating Sorority. I hoped to catch a glimpse of my old classmate, but this privilege was denied me; for Father Time flashed these words upon the canvas: This film has been passed by Queens College Board of Censorship. 45 %THE EPELWEI Senior Cla00 Poem To-day we stand with brows serenely clear. Our faces turned to meet the coming dawn; ' Behind us lies a night all fraught with fear, With darkest hours before the break of morn. We stand, our eyes all dewy as the thorn. While gladness decks our cheeks with roses gay ; Each inmost soul of petty mistrusts shorn. We wait with outstretched arms the coming day. What matter if the hours bring grief and sorrow. And rosy clouds of dawn be changed to gray? Our maiden minds turn not towards to-morrow ; All joy in life to us lies centered in to-day. Now as the sun dispels the shadows of the night.

It is hard and rugged, but once in a while we catch a glimpse of the shining Senior country. However, our way has not been all thorns, for our class has always had the peculiar knack of gaining the good will of the faculty. We have also won many laurels in athletics, the greatest being that the whole Junior basket-ball team has made the varsity. We have also been a success socially, for early in the year we entertained the faculty at an Old Maids ' Party, and a climax of our achievements in this line was the box party given to the Seniors at Henrietta Crosman ' s play, The Tongues of Men. Although we are now allowed to enjoy a few Senior privileges this is not enough, for we are striving to reach the coveted land of Caps and Gowns.

If I were to write anything like a com- plete history of our class, it would take volumes; so I shall try to pass over it briefly. Gradually the little girls grew in size and knowledge and entered the preparatory department under Miss Grey. We were in her room three years when we went downstairs to Miss Armstrong ' s class. We really thought that we were something great then. Our number had increased, but some of the original ones had dropped by the wayside. In our Sub-Freshman year we dramatized Little Women ; it was given for the benefit of the annual and was quite a success. The next year we were Freshmen. One of our dreams had come true! We were invited to join the societies and allowed to take part in the collegiate life. In September, nineteen thirteen, we reached the goal of our Sophomore dignity. There are four of the original members still with us, but our number has increased to about twenty-five. We take a great deal of interest in athletics and hope to contribute to the tennis and basket-ball varsity teams. On February, the fourth, we played a match game of basket-ball with the Juniors. Sad to relate we were beaten, but we put up a good fight and accepted our defeat bravely. Of course no one can win all the time, and with two more games before us we hope to have better luck in the future. The Sophomores have made history in the past and expect to continue to make it in the future, until we reach the goal of all ambitions — Seniordom.

The next day we matriculated and then were classified. In a few days official notice came that we really were Freshmen and could unite ourselves into a true class organization. Although our first meeting was a rather important one for Freshies, we felt capable of overcoming anything, even sneers from the Sophs; we were so green. We elected for our President, Alethia Bland ; Vice-President, Bessie Durham; Secretary, Mabel Boyd; and Treasurer, Mattie Walker. Our colors of light blue and white were handed down to us by last year ' s Seniors, and in them we find an inspiration to work for the time when we, too, can hand them down to an oncoming Freshman Class. For our flower we chose the evergreen. The next few weeks were full of fear, excitement, and pleasure, but we lived through them without once resorting to tears; and as yet the Evergreens are still truly fresh.

W. C. A. at the Conference last June, and the ten days spent among the mountains in pleasure and study are ones never to be forgotten. As an outgrowth of the enthusiasm gained there we are planning to build there Queens Cottage, the Conference home for our girls in the years to come. We can not think of the Blue Ridge Conference without having flashed before our minds the sublimity of the mountains, the high-pillared porch of the beautiful hail, and the interior with the great, glowing fireplace; the irregular tent houses along the brook; and all set in the very heart of nature. Above all this is the spirit of the Conference, gained not only from the singleness of purpose which existed, but from the cheerfulness and good will found on every hand. M. CTHE EPELWEI The Young Women ' s Christian Association at Queens Aim: To bring young women to Christ, to build them up for Christ, and to send them out for Christ. HE Young Women ' s Christian Association, an active force in our college, stands at the head of the religious life. It endeavors to make the religious life of vital importance and interest to each girl while in school, and to send them out to bless and enrich the world. With one or two exceptions every girl in school is a member of this organization. The weekly meetings, held each Sabbath evening, have been well attended all the year, greatly due, perhaps, to the interesting programs which have been arranged by the Religious Meetings Com- mittee; also we feel that much of the interest taken in the work has been stimulated and encouraged by the regular good night prayer-meetings held each evening after study hall, by some member of the Association. Still another helpful phase of our work are the mission study classes, which meet every Sunday morning. These enable the members to gain an insight into the problems of our own and foreign lands. The Cabinet meets every Sunday evening to discuss the week ' s work, also once every month with the Advisory Board — a new department recently introduced into the Association — to hear the reports from the various committees, and to discuss the business of the past month. 72 ffinlbg Girls ' Journal 1914 15 Cents The Edelweiss Publishing Company queens college, charlotte, n. c.

She IS the most powerful single medium through which money is spent in the world to-day. What does she know about that? What fitness does she bring to this work? Seventy cents out of every dollar spent in America is spent by college girls. The largest theaters in America depend upon her. Great confectionery stores are what she makes them, for as she buys and patronizes they produce. Millions of men produce what she demand s. They say it is for her! Now for a few questions along the line of spending: How much does a pound of chocolate cost you? Why are bananas twenty-five cents a dozen? Because that is what is charged for them. Yes, we know that, but why should they not be fifteen cents instead of twenty-five? What do tails cost you? On what basis and on what percentage do you spend your allow- ance? Can the American college girl answer these questions? If so she is far . above the average college girl. Then, that being the case, why permit the present extravagant allowance? Would th ings ever have come to the present conditions if our college girls had realized their responsibility in the matter. 75 THE COLLEGE GIRLS ' JOURNAL That Reminds Me Funny Things Our Girls Have Laughed About This Year A PERFECTLY GOOD CLIMAX Miss Laney had explained to the Seniors how she wanted them to write their themes.

Vou may lose your book, but I hope you ' ll never lose your mind. Sylvia By Anne Dewey Chambers Have you one of the best sellers in to-day. Miss Parkman? I want a counter-irritant. I ' ve heard nothing but the supremacy of conscience and the reality of right and wrong and all that bosh fill I believe I 11 go crazy if 1 don ' t get some frivolity into my system. The speaker was a girl of about nineteen or twenty; fall, slender, with clear gray eyes and wavy hair. Her chin was a bit too square, her mouth a bit too large, but there was a charm about her which held the eyes of the readers in the library of the little college town. Sylvia Morton was the sister of Professor Horace Morton, of the chair of philosophy at Exham University. Now, Professor Morton was a grave, sedate, dry little gentleman, whose mind forever ran in the same channel — work. How he happened to have a sister like Sylvia had been a question Dr. Morton had never been able to answer, nor had his serious-minded wife, nor any one else, for that matter. No, I don ' t want ' The Inside of Any Cup ' ! Haven t you ' V. V. ' s Eyes — what, ' Corona by Robert Peyton? Never heard of it, but I do remember the introduction of a ' Norse Liter- ature ' in three volumes by that same author. My brother insisted upon reading it aloud to us last summer, and that ' s enough of Mr. Peyton — no Corona ' for me! Here ' s Stover, dear old ' Hinky-Dink. ' I ' ve read it six times, but — well, let me have this, please. Miss Parkman! The book was recorded and handed to her and she started out of the library, nodding to one person, smiling to another, for Sylvia knew every man, woman and child in Exham, or thought she did before; but as her eyes swept over the room, they fell on the unfamiliar face of a man — an attractive face with steady eyes and clean-cut lips. He was looking at her with a queer, quizzical expression almost as if he were laughing at her. She wondered if she had said anything she shouldn ' t have said, or 77 THE COLLEGE GIRLS ' JOURNAL what it was that made his eyes twinkle so. She did not have lime to wonder about it long, for the library clock began to strike six; and hadn ' t she promised her sister that she would be ready for dinner at six-fifteen? Who was it that was going to be there? — Oh, yes, a school friend of Horace ' s — some musty, dusty, know-it-all prof she supposed, and he was going to stay two weeks, loo. Well, at any rate, she was glad she had Stover ' to keep her company while her brother and Mr. Peyton (was that his name?) talked of their college days. She wondered if her brother had ever been young, and this Mr. Peyton — could he be the author of that old Norse Literature and Corona — well, she knew he was a bore, then. Come on Sylvy ' ! It was the voice of her roly-poly little nephew, known all over the campus as Sonny. They had been out coast- ing all afternoon — that was why she was so late. Oh, what difference did it make anyway? — Come on. Sonny, let ' s go down that hill just one more time! So it was that when Sylvia opened the door of her brother ' s home dinner had already started. Tell em I ' ll be in, in just a moment, Sonny, ' she said as she flung off her sweater and lam. Sister did tell me to dress, but — well, it ' s too late now. So into the dining-room went Sylvia Morion, her hair falling in little curls all around her face, her cheeks glowing from her vigorous exercise, and her eyes sparkling. She was so confused by the reproachful look of her brother that she hardly noticed the visitor, simply acknowledging the introduction with a sedate, I ' m pleased to meet my brother s friend. When she took her seat, the jonquils in the center of the table completely hid him from her view. As the conversation was resumed, she noticed that it was not of matters philosophic ihat he talked, but of one of the latest comedy hits, of the attractiveness of the songs and the fasci- nation of the dances in it. She liked the visitor s voice — she began to wonder what he looke d like. She craned her head, and, as she did so, she caught his eye. Could this be Dr. Peyton? Why, this was the man she had seen in the library. Then with a rush it came over her what she had said about his books. That was the reason he had laughed at hei, was it? Why, oh, why, could she never keep her mouth shut? Sylvia soon forgot herself and her blunder, however, for the guest told of one interesting experience after another — not the experience of one who saw everything from a philosophic stand- point, as she was accustomed to hear from her brother, but real, live, human experiences. He told funny little stories of the life outside this little college town — of the life which Sylvia longed to know. Finally the time came for the little party to break up for the night. As he took Sylvia s hand to tell her good night, the same quizzical little smile came into his eyes as he said: Even if you won t read my books. Miss Morton, won ' t you let me go coasting with you and Sonny to-morrow? It seems a very long time since I ve been able to do such a thing, and — well, I ' m fearfully tired of being dignified. Why, 1 believe he ' s bored at his own books, thought Sylvia, and then she said, Sure you may go, and, then, lowering her voice she added, But you are liable to get your face washed with snow at any moment, for Sonny and I are terribly rough folks. So it was that the next morning a very merry party — Sylvia in her big varsity sweater and red lam. Dr. Peyton in a huge overcoat with fur collar turned up to his ears, and little Sonny sit- ting in state on his sled — set out on a coasting expedition. This was th? first of many, many happy times the trio had together. But an end must come to all visits, however pleasant they may be, and, about the time the snow began to melt, Dr. Peyton announced that he must leave the following morning. 1 really should have gone before, he said. My publishers have been besieging me with letters in regard to a little thing of mine they are at work upon. To-day ' s mail brings such 78 THE COLLEGE GIRLS ' JOURNAL an imperative command that I must go. I have tried lo keep them off of me, for, you see, I wanted to stay here so much, but they are clamor- ing for a personal interview and I ' m afraid I ' ll have to go. Sonny has invited me to come back again, and says even if there isn ' t any snow we could go to walk just the same. He says he {Continued in and ' Sylvy ' always try to see who can find the first wild flower. May I come again — Sylvia? For some unknown reason, Sylvia felt the blood rush to her cheeks. A throb of joy swept over her, but she only said, as she glanced at Sonny s shining eyes, Sure he may, mayn ' t he.

Also assure him that she will receive no property upon her father ' s death. Is there any better way of getting into a street car than being bodily lifted in by a kind young gentleman? Sweet Sixteen.

Do not eat meats of any kind, sweets or breads; candy, fruit, and vegetables are dangerous; re- frain from drinks, either cold or hot. After two months write me for further advice.

Obtain a pair of roller skates from a nearby hardware store and hire your little brother to push you around. Note. — Ail questions receive my personal at- tention. Yours truly, Madame Lyle. The Latest Style Notes of the Season Madame Woodworth Your bedroom slippers are the very things for dancing, provided you tie them on securely and wear steel plates in them to protect your feet from probable injury while dancing with the owner of large shoes. As I walked down Fifth Avenue the other day I saw a stunning hat, which was ladened with fruit. This pattern hat could easily be copied. Enough Malaga grapes can be procured for fifteen cents to trim a hat that will last for several wearings, after which the variety of fruit may be changed. Many novel costumes are still to come from Pans, and the next issue will contain all hints as to the problem of how to keep cool. An attractive dancing frock can be made from an old pair of lace window curtains, which can be easily made to serve as shadow lace. Draped skirts are the favorites this year, and the most desirable ones are made of Roman striped materials. Your old couch cover would make a beautiful model, and the fringe from this could be wonderfully useful for sleeves, as the sleeveless waists are the latest creation. A beautiful hair ornament can be obtained in this way: Go into the barnyard and catch your pet rooster, gently extract his most beautiful tail feathers; cut some of the vanes from the shafts, and at the lower end of these tie securely a butter- fly which has served its term as a laboratory specimen. The artistic effect of the natural colors is superb, and the result can not be told from a genuine aigrette. Figured silks are becoming popular in New York, and the more colors the more fashionable. Your grandmother ' s silk quilt would make a most suitable evening coat, as the new Indian models are simply blanket effects. ,80 THE COLLEGE GIRLS ' JOURNAL My Best Selected by angelizinc Bring together two girls with dispositions as unlike as possible. One of the two should be slightly taller than the other in order that tKe arm of the taller one may be placed with more ease around her companion s neck. Very satis- fying results may be obtained if the two victims are put in a dark room, and allowed to embrace and commune in silence. Very frequently the angel should be fed with ambrosia, angel cake, and other such food of the gods. To make a complete success, a stroll should be taken on the campus at least once a day, and twice if possible. INFIRMARY COCKTAIL Mix together four girls and a midnight feast.

If the calling continues you are obliged to answer. Then as accusations are hurled down upon you first assume a very important air, but if that has no effect then adopt a oh ! -well-I-did- do-it-but-it-doesn ' t-amount-to-anything look.

Then secretly gather your friends into your room, close the transom, stop up the keyhole, and proceed to tell them the whole affair — of course putting all the blame on the clipper.

Wide-awake, with eyes open, I lay in my bed, While fierce exam questions strolled through my head. As Miss Culbreth her usual night call had paid, And each other teacher had taken her raid. With safety I thought I my light on might keep. And at German lists have a much-needed peep. , Amazed at my rashness, yet proud of my spunk, I crawled to the table, resolved not to flunk, Boldly turned on the light and drew up a chair, Then seized on my notebook for exams to prepare. Der Acker, der Apfel, I had learned to perfection, But of das Auge, das Belt I had no recollection; So I decided to slay up a little while longer, And make my knowledge of German still stronger. When, lo! down the hall there arose a soft patter, I sprang from my chair knowing what was the matter; Without knock, without warning, the door opened wide. And a stern face appeared from the quiet outside. Young lady! your light? Now, what does this mean? You ' ll get five dements and a talk with the Dean. The light was turned out, and, with meekly bowed head, I put up my books and at once went to bed. Be prepared for exams, girls, and don t break the rules, This is a good motto for girls in all schools. As I believe in giving fellow-students a lift, I am writing this down, hoping you 11 catch the drift.

Basket-ball games have been played with other schools and between the classes. In the Junior-Sophomore game, the Juniors won by a score of 1 0 to 3 ; in the Sophomore-Freshman game, the Sophomores won by a score of 1 2 to 3. Other games are scheduled for the spring, and the girls are very much interested. Instead of having a Varsity Tennis Team we have a champion team, consisting of Ruth Gill and Kate Blue. Each class has it tennis team, and the girls have displayed much interest in this sport this year. Volley ball has been added to our list of outdoor sports. This is a game where everybody has a chance to exercise every muscle, and is proving to be one of the most popular. A.

And round thy banners, blue and blue, A faithful host is seen, True to their honor, true to you — Our Mother and our Queen. Though rose-clad hope may open wide The future ' s golden portal; And love shall crown — a happy bride — Our brows with wreaths immortal ; Though all our dreams were coming true. Yet naught our hearts can wean. Nor turn our grateful thoughts from you — Our Mother and our Queen.
