That, interpreted, means nohle purity, and truly the name is a fortunate one, tor anion o- a mass of sage-green hich lies leaves peejjs out a small hlossom, white as the snow on the surrounding hills. Only on the high, steep mountain sides does it grow : there it lives, hardy and strong, lifting its face into the cold, crisp air. .Although it is not a heautiful flower, and has no fragrance, yet how often it has brought joy to the mountain climber, who, when he sees it, knows that he is nearing the summit of the mountain. So for years it has been a custom for tourists who climb the Alps to bring back this little flower as a proof of their prowess and as a reward of their lal)or and toil. So our annual is called the • ' Edelweiss because, like the white flower, it is a reward for our weary labor and toil in trying to climb the mountain of success. And though of course our book is not perfect— like the white flower, without beauty and fragrance— still, as the little .snow blossom brings gladness to the hearts of the A nm cliiubers. so this little book brings joy to the hearts of the toilers and makes us feel that our efforts have been worth while.

Its struggles proved successful at last. l ' or ere a year rolled round As a Sophomore plant in the cold winter blast It pushed through the frozen ground. The Junior leaves before long were seen. They had unfolded fresh and fair: Unfolded with their tendrils green, Like emeralds large and rare. In June a little bud burst forth, Half-blown and blushing there it stood— . Senior ready to blossom forth Into ideal womanhood. M.

Without any ceremony she walked straight into our hearts, and her own heart was big enough to take us all in. Her thoughtf ulness of others and her sincere, straightforward manner have won her hosts of friends among the girls, Sue ' s popularity is attested by the fact that at the end of her first year with us she was elected president of the Senior Class. However, neither this nor the many honors which have come to her unsought have turned her head, for she stoutly maintains, I had rather be in love than anything. MAkG, RET LOUISE YOUNG, B. A., M CH.

Louise, with her brilliant mind, has always headed the roll of honor, and is destined to be a leader in whatever she undertakes. Her executive ability and inter- est in everything pertaining to the welfare of the college has made her indispensable. Always accommodating and thoughtful of others, she is truly a friend in need. 18 E P ELW£I S S MARY SANDERS HOWELL, B. A., II A CHARLOTTE, N. C.

Sense and Sensibility In every class there stand out a few girls who are horn leaders, and Sanders is one of these. She IS a girl whom all students admire, upon whom the faculty rely, and whose departure from Queens wdl leave a large vacancy. She is always in good spirits, very enthusiastic, and d)erally endowed with good looks. i?ut of all her gifts, the great est is her conversational powers— for only on rare occasions does she a low that tongue to cease!

Lovey Mary We love her, not only for her smile, her look, and her way, hut for her sincerity, which is one of her strongest traits. With her charming per- sonality and sweet simplicity, Mary has made many friends during her college days. Not that her admirers are confined to Queens alone; indeed, someti mes we hecome alarmed at what seems to be a chronic state of heart trouble. However, we have come to the conclusion that this is caused by mere passing fancies. We might say quite a deal more about Mary, but we do not want to spoil so sweet a child. 19 E P E L W£ I S S liLi.A M()Sl•:Ll•: ■. w. a., r i; CHARLOTTE, X. C.

All joking aside, Kate is a tine old girl, with a big heart and a generous hand. 22 E P ELWEI S S 1 4 MARY YORKK JOHNSTON, 1!. A., II A EXPRESSION GRADUATE CHARLOTTE, X ' . C.

Her pow ' er of concentration is envied, especially by the memliers of Senior Study Hall, and the result of this is plainly seen on recita- tion, when she answers questions that fairly daze the rest of us. In spite of her seeming reserve, there often arises in her a sense of the ridiculous so keen that she even enjoys a joke on herself. .Although thoroughly surprising, Dame Rumor has it that Julia, upon leaving the guardianship of Queens College, will be one of the first to enter the state of matrimony. i 1 f 23 E P E L W£ 1 S S ■ ETIIF.L TROTTER, B.

The Girl of the Golden West Hester, by her quaint speech, proclaims herself a typical Westerner ; yet her winning smile and gentle manner have endeared her to her Southern classmates. Being an ardent follower of fashion, Hester always makes a favorable impression; the most striking feature of her appearance is her bright blue eyes shining under her stylishly tilted hat. Possessing a strong will and plenty of self- confidence, she will, in our opinion, ever succeed. 27 M E P ELW£I S S W Ci)e opagc of Cfje linotDletige rekrr (HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1915) HR tidal wave of September, 191 1, swept out on the Sea of Learn- ing a class of girls, with tear-dimmed eyes, wlio were finally beginning to realize that they had left their homes to l)e launched in the midst of tlie sea for four long years. After the first few stormy weeks of classification and home- sicl ness were over, the barge of girls sailed on a smootli sea until the wliirlpools of mid-term exams were reached. The struggle was a hard one, but our boat was steered l)y the liands of our capable president to the safe, sniootli-sailing waters of tiie second semester. Tlien in the distance a little dark spot appeared, proving to be an island, which was as welcome to us as an oasis to a desert traveler. This was the first stop our 1)oat. The Knoivlcdgc Seeker, had made, and the name of the port was Annual Reception. The night spent there was very pleasant, and, by the assistance of Dan Cupid, lasting accpiaintances were formed. Tlie following morning, with backward glances we set sail and continued our way. While drifting peacefully along, we were overtaken Ijy a steamer, and recognized among the passengers on bf)ard our old friend, St. Valentine. At our invitation, he transferred his passage t(j our boat and attended the party which we gave tliat night to our sister class, the Juniors. We enjoyed his ' isit extremely, but he was obliged to return to his ship at midnight, very much to the sorrow of all concerned. Our ship was carried by favorable winds very swiftly over the peaceful sea, but soon a dark cloud appeared and a fearful storm raged for several days. This was the critical week of final exams, and some of our weaker classmates fell overboard and were lost in spite of all our efforts to save them. Time passed, and soon we were no longer Freshmen, but had sailed out into the deep sea of the Sophomore year. The jilaces of those who had been lost in the waves were filled by quite a number of new girls, who joined us at several of the ports along the way. P y this time we had become accustomed to the trials and tribulations which must Ije endured by those who board The Knou ' Icd(je Seeker, and the year went by a little more rai)idly than the pre- 28 E P ELWEI S S K cediiijf one. It was now our turn to lielp initiate the new girls into the experiences of sea hfe, and of course this year was most enjoyable to us, for we felt that we were getting revenge for what we had suffered the year before. Nothing of great importance happened, liowever, until a few of our number left The Knoivlcdcjc Seeker for Pleasure ' s 0 uest, attending for several days the exercises given by the Junior Class of Davidson College. On their return wonderful tales of adventure were told. The remainder of the year proved uneventful until the slu ' p dropped anchor at a port called Commencement. A very enjoyable summer was spent in this town, and all too soon the news was spread abroad that The Knoidedye Seeker was abcnit to set sail. Once again we were almost overwhelmed by the wave of homesickness, but our courage was renewed by the report that our voyage was halfway over. In the distance we could see the flying pennants of the Senior Class waving over their ship, which was nearing the goal. . wireless was sent to them by the pilot of The Kmm ledye Seeker inviting them to stop with us at the next port to see Henrietta Crossman in The Tongues of Men. A promi)t reply was received, and a very i)leasant e -ening was spent at the port Theater. It was (luite necessary after this dissipation for every one to seek Study most earnestly, for exams must be passed if the voyage were to be continued. However, the monotony was soon broken by ' isits to us of both the Davidson and Carolina Glee Clubs. Several parties for our own amusement were given on board the ship, but hard work was the pre- dominant feature for the remainder of the time. At length the boat in front of us was seen to have reached its destination, and our vessel, with flying colors, was borne rajiidly onward over a calm sea. We had at last reached the much-kjuged-for port, Seniorland, and here we obtained the ca])s and gowns which every one wears ujjon reaching this ])ort. The rougli places in the sea were by no means all crossed, but we had Ijecome S(j used to them that we could pass them with ease. The end and aim of our ambitions was in sight, and ere long the goal will have been reached. It was not long until every (;ne of us had become accustomed to her place of honor and dignity, and a greater feeling of responsibility was realized than ever before. And now as the vessel is nearing its destination, joy and sorrow intermingle, for with the fulfihuent of hope comes also die sadness of approaching farewells. So time brings the storm-tossed ship over the sea of learning to the harbor Safety amid many good wishes and congratulations. M. S. H., Historian. E P ELWEI S S 1 Class propt)ec June 7, 1920. Dear Sue: Once more tlie Class of ' 1 5 gathered around tlie table in the (hning-room of our old Alma Mater, and it hardly seemed the same place, for instead of the rolls and syrup that we used to have, a very elaborate luncheon was ser -ed, and we were the guests of honor. You can never imagine what a great pleasure it was to see those dear old girls again after five years of separation, and the only thing that marred our happiness was that you, our beloved president, could not be there and preside o ' er us as usual. However, we talked of your work in far-away Cliina, thinking how truly fortunate were those little Chinese. Although five years seem short, yet you must hear of the many changes which have taken place. Miss Newton, as we will always call her, although of course you know she ' s Miss Newton no longer, was seated at the head of the table as master of ceremonies. In her sweet way she welcomed us and suggested that each tell what these years had brought forth. First, Mary Carson, blushing as she used to do, told of her romantic marriage to a prominent New York banker, and how extremely happy she was. Then Ashby, her face showing signs of study, spoke very interestingly of her surgical work at Johns Hopkins, l- ' or two years Mary Yorke had been star in popular plays, but had found more happiness in making the hard life of a country doctor easier. You, like all the rest, would scarcely have known the next: Gowned in a most stylish and handsome attire was Kate, now a designer of fashi ons for Vogue. Katherine, so used to standing when speaking — now a lecturer for the cause of Woman Suffrage — was very anxious to make us a stump speech. However, Evelyn, l)eing a more persistent talker, insisted on telling us that she was teaching Economics — would you believe it?— in Agnes Scott College. Martha, all rosy and fat, came rushing in at this time and insisted on apologizing for her tardiness caused by a breakdown of her brand-new Ford. She lives about three miles from the city and seems utterly absorbed in her farmer, chickens, and Ford. Mary Sanders has become quite famous as a writer of scenarios. I also 30 I E P ELW£1 S S hear she has made quite a success financially. Turning- in that (juick way so characteristic of her, she seized Ella by the hand and introduced her as heroine of her stories. Of course we all recognized Ella as the Venus of the Movies. In a very Frenchy gown, Vashti laughingly told how, while studying French in Paris, her heart had l)een won by a marquis. Mora as yet has not been jiersuaded to gi e up tlie gaiety of social life, but is still in the wliirl and looks as young as ever. Maggie Yorke told of her study of music and of her experiences in concert tours. I suppose you ' ve heard of lier wonderful success. As for Anne, slie was tlie greatest surprise of all. Dressed in widow ' s weeds, but with a countenance not corresponding witli the same, she said, in that funny way, that her good looks had got her one iuisband, and that she firmly believed that they could get her another. Jane frowned very disapprovingly at Anne and told in a serious and earnest way of her great work in social service in Chicago. Louise, whom we all ex])ected to liave such a splendid career, two years ago gave up all thoughts of that and is now the busy wife of a Presbyterian minister. Most interestingly, Margaret gave some points on the Y. W. C. A. work to which she devotes her entire time. Hester, much to our surprise, married the year after leaving school, and has been leading a most strenuous life since. We could guess, when our eyes turned to lithel, what she had been doing these five years. In a white dress and cap, she rose and said that she was now ery l)usy as head nurse of the Charlotte Sanatorium. And will you l)e siu-prised wlien 1 tell you that I am exactly what I told you I w as going to l)e five years ago — an old-maid school-teacher ? We had a wonderful time reminiscing, and wandered over tlie buildings, seeking familiar haunts. ICvery .spot brought u ) old memories, and all too soon the time came to say good-bye. Howe -er, we resolved to have a reunion again next year, and we sincerely hope you ' ll be with us then. ' Phe girls join me in lo e.

We sadly leave old friends grown dear. And those we ' ve known for many a year. From Queens and friends we now nnist part — We say farewell with aching heart. The ties of years to-day we break, Yet know whatever path we take. Still through the distance we shall feel Thy tender memories o ' er us steal : Thy hand shall guide though miles may part ; Thy memory live in each true heart. So now we pledge our all to thee — Our work, our life, whate ' er it be. M. n.

It was on a Sunday morning, and even we remember tliose strange feelings that stirred us. We walked down the aisle, our Oxford robes floating behind us, our hands lost in the folds of the sleeves, and turning neither to the right nor the left for fear our caps might get the stylisli tilt rather than that i)rim, prissy angle of the truly academic. We felt that we were the cynosure of all eyes, and d ' ignitv sat heavily upon us. Did the wind whistle cold up the flowing sleeves? Bv no means, for pride knows neither heat nor cold. Oh! the voluminous dignitv of that robe. Yet we felt that we had earned this distinguished garb— •■ -rr aspcra ad asfrar Sometimes we thought one luigli.sh test almost merited a ca]), tlKnigh the marks on the same might indicate that a fool ' s cap should be our portion ! However, time has pas.sed since that Sunday and we have become accustomed to wearing this robe of dignity. The feeling of awkwardness has passed away, but the feel- ing of distinction steadily increases as we realize that we are at last worthy to be called Seniors. And now it is only a short time till that glad day in June when, for the la.st time, we shall don the robes which we have learned to wear with so much ease, and shall receive the reward for our lak)r and toil. Then, with a feeling of sadness, we shall lay aside forever the insignia of our honor, but iie -er shall we forget the hai)])y though somewhat uncomfortable day when we first wore our caps and gowns.

Now it came to pass in the fifty- seventh year of Queens College, in the ninth month and the twentieth day of the month, that the children of 1916 went out and the congregation was gathered to- gether as one man from the north even to the south. 2. Now after they had been gathered to- gether, there came a great flood upon that land and it rained forty days and forty nights. 3. But after the wind of homesickness had passed over, -the waters were assuaged and the sun came out and shone upon the face of the earth. 4. Now during these days the children of ' 16 l)egan to array themselves against the children of Knowledge because the children of Knowledge sought them an inheritance among the tribe of ' 16. 5. And this enemy sent out of their num- ber five men from their coast, men of valour. Mathema tics, English, I ench, His- tory, and Latin, to spy out the children of ' 16 of the house of College and to over- come them. 6. Then for nine months there was war throughout the land, and the children of ' 16 went out against their enemy and pitched in the valley of Examination and there fought. 7. And the children of Knowledge were smitten and there was great slaughter; but many were slain among the ranks of the children of ' 16 and there was great mourn- ing in the camp. 8. Then peace reigned in the land for three months, and the children of ' 16 re- turned each one to her tent. Chapter 21 1. In the second year of the reign of the Class of 1916 were they delivered into the hands of Knowledge, and great was their oppression, because King Mathematics oppressed them. 2. But the children of ' 16 went out, and by the help of the tribe Faculty overcame their enemies and slew many of the hosts of Knowledge. 3. And Sophomore slept with her fathers, and they buried her, and peace was throughout the land. 4. And it was so during these days that when they saw there was need of more room they gave their plans into the hands of the builders to build a new house for Queens College: they laid it out to car- penters and builders that wrought upon this house. 5. This was the stronghold set up in the wilderness for the defense of the children of ' 16. 6. And now new kings of the tribe of Knowledge rose up against the Sixteenites, Psychology, of the tribe of Philosophy, and Chemistry, of the tribe of Science. 7. But during the reign of Junior, the children of 1916 set themselves in battle array against these kings and they fought from dawn to the setting of the sun. 8. And the children of ' 16 overcame the tribes of Knowledge and destroyed them and made them like the dust by threshing. 9. And the Junior slept with her fathers and the children of ' 16 turned their faces toward the land of Senior. 10. And the rest of the acts of the children of ' 16 and all their might where- with they fought against the tribes of Knowledge, are they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Classes of Queens College?

Yes, I confess it does seem strange, or did at the first of the year, but after we see how well tlie entire band of girls works together, and what a strong class it is in every respect, we feel that one I I day we will be even more proud tlian we now are that we ' — belonged to the Class of 1917. Among the many things which have distinguished us this year are tlie three highest averages for tlie fall semester. Think of one class carrying off all the honors of the sch ool ! Not only are we noted for our intellectual ability, but also for our athletic accomplishments. Out of the nine memj)ers of the Varsity Basket-Ball Team, four are Sophomores. Our class also takes an active part in the work of the societies. Some of the officers and most loyal workers of both societies are members of ' 17. These are only a few of the accomplislunents of this noted class, and we feel and know that neither the world nor the college could get along witliout us Sophomores. E. R., ' 17, Historian. Behind the Scenes P E L W£I S S ■ The Freshmen (bless their Ijaby hearts!) Are so young and so very dear That all the school pets them — each one — And dries away each tear. The Juniors (they work so well!) Surely deserve some reward. So privileges are Ijestowed upon them, By the faculty, with one accord. The Seniors (dignified and wise!) The whole school does revere, And not one word of blame about them Do you ever hear ! O Sophomores (wretched tribe!). That old adage must be true — Heigh diddle diddle, the fool ' s in the middle, Surely applies to you. 0 reader fair, lest you do not know Of the degradation of this class, 1 want you to peruse a number of things, And give your verdict, alas ! hirst, please glance at the varsity team, Any Sophomores? Oh, yes, a few. How do they play? Just watch a game And you ' ll easily see how they do. The Honor Roll ' s posted on the bulletin-board : This month there are three on the roll. But of course there aren ' t (?) any Sophomores — ' ou really needn ' t be told. We ' ll admit it, we ' re gay; we just have to be To make up for the way that they treat us; But take it from me — and it ' s easy to see — That in nothing at all can they beat us ! So please lift your hats to this wonderful class. Which surpasses in athletics and knowledge; We can not be beat, we ' ve known no defeat. We ' re the champion class of the college. Then let them speak of us as they like — They ' ve done it often before — But, all the same, we love the name, That slandered name — Sophomore ! E. H. J., Poet.

In the latter part of Septemher, 1913, the Fre.shmen first came together, a class of twenty-four. Throughout the year we met with many difficulties and discouragements ; however, we plodded steadily along, and had the satisfaction of conquering in the end. But alas ! we already knew the calamity which was to hefall us the follow- ing year. When we assemhled again, in the autumn of 1914, after a long summer ' s acation, the standard of the college had been raised, and we were once luore called Freshmen! We should have grieved very deeply indeed had it not been for the fact that the school had just moved nto the new buildings at Myers Park, and our minds were diverted by many pleasing novelties. Part of our number did not return, but as their places were filled, in a measure, by the new girls who joined our ranks, our grief for our lost members was somewhat alleviated. So our journey has been hard and long, very long, for no class ever before had the honor of bearing the name of Freshman for two years. And now, although disappointment may await us again, we are still toiling earnestly, and hope by the end of this year ' s journey to reach the longed-for haven of Sophomore Land. Already we seem to hear, as sweet music to our ears : ' Where, oh, where are the gay young Freshmen? Where, oh. where are the two-year Freshmen? Where, oh, where are the dauntless Freshmen? Safe now in the Sophomore Class. V.

The number of members enrolled this session is larger than in any previous year, and most of them have proved earnest and enthusiastic workers in the Association. The weekly meetings on Sunday evenings are unusuallv well attended, and the good-night prayer-meetings held in each dormitory every evening are a .source of help to the girls. Then, on Sunday mornings, two Mission Study classes, with the purpose of broadening the interests of die girls, are conducted by members of the faculty. Nine of our luembers had the pleasure of representing Queens College at the r.lue Ridge Conference last June. Also, the Association was fortunate in being chosen as one of die ten college associations to be represented at the annual meeting of the Student Department of the South . tlantic Field. As the college continues to grow, we are led to hope that the Association may become stronger and more able to further its aim, to firing every girl to Christ, to build her up in Christ, to send her out for Christ.

The Athletic Association was divided into two ]3arts, the Purples and the Yellows, and there was a loving-cu]) offered to the side winning the most points. One of our most ])()pular sports for the fall was roller- skating, and there was much riwilry between the two colors, which made these skating contests all the more interesting. In the final contest points were given for skill, sjieed, and grace. But as the winter came on, we began giving all our attention and time to the jo_ ' of the basket-ball field. We are now playing a series of games with the Y. C. and have been successful so far. We intend soon to play the Charlotte High School. We are not boasting too much when we say that we expect to carry off all the honors, for this year ' s varsity is the best that Queens has had in a long time. Although our Athletics is one of the most im])ortant and jiopular ph ases of our college life, we expect it to be more popular on field day. This is always a red-letter da} ' for the girls, and it is sure to be a success because of the faith, work, and patience the students ha e shown in ])ractice. M. Y.

I stopped and listened. There liad Ijeen a faculty meeting the night before and the girls were up in arms over some new rule. There were various voices exclaiming indignantly, but suddenly above them all I heard Vashti ' s familiar voice: It ' s perfectly outrageous! Why, when I first came over here to college six years ago But just here I heard a w ' ail from Flora, begging the girls to get quiet, that she didn ' t know a thing. She was seconded in her demand b ' Ethel and Jane, who just before had been making more fuss than all the others. Mary, who had been laughing gaily, suddenly exclaimed to Flora: My dear. I don ' t know a word of my hjiglish. That seemed to remind a of the fact that luiglish was the next class, and T heard her squeal, and I imagine she suddenly grabbed Flora by the arm. Now on my ear fell this familiar sound : Girls, you make me tired ; why, I have six lessons to-day, and J knew well that that was Katie ' s -oice. I walked on and opened the door. Piled on the table were books, hats, lunches, and girls. Pillows were on the floor, and the only chair in the room was upside down. Some of the girls were lounging on the bench, while Kate was parading up and down the room with iier left slipper on her right foot and her right one on her left. In the middle of the table stood Anne taking off se ' eral members of the faculty, and, of course, this was the cause of all the laughter. Over in one corner sat Judy, per- fectly unconscious of the disturbance, reading and absorbing a chapter on Rent in I ' xonomics. Just as I opened the door some one exclaimed : Oli, look! Immediately all flew to the window — I with the rest. The object which met my gaze was one lone gentleman, very old, who had stepped ofif the car. M. L.

Yes, many a time there ' s a commotion, And some one yells, What ' s the sight? .And when I get to the window I see passing a Hornerite. Yes, Queens ' Twin ' ' lives down the road.

Readers, lest you think partiality we do show To the Horner boys who by our school do go. We will explain. Some of the girls of old Q. C. — a likely bunch of them — Bestow their fondest thoughts upon the Raleigh ] ' armcr-iuen. Others do disdain Their choice, and will ever and anon be true To the colors upon their walls, the beautiful white and blue. Oh ! very well you know In many of their hearts, old D. C. the girls enthrall. And readily do they respond to her Junior Speaking call. Their affection the rest bestow Upon Clemson, V. M. I., and the Universities all. And many more whose names I can not call. We wanted you to know. E P ELWei s s ■ f nlp a Dream This morn I was talking with a student young and gay. Who told me of a dream she had. why, just the other day. While dozing in the study hall a vision came in view — She saw an angel enter in garments white and new. Said the angel. I ' m from Heaven: St. Peter sent me down To hring you up to Glory and give you a golden crown, The student and the angel started up to Glory ' s gate : But as they passed through Hades, the angel murmured, Wait. We ' ve got a place to show you — it ' s the hottest place at all - There are blazing coals and cinders in this great and awful hall. And behold ! the student saw there her old teachers by the score. So she sat and simply watched them — she could wish for nothing more. Here it was the angei found her. Come on, there are wonders yet to see. But the student only answered, This is Heaven enough for me. M. L.

Ella Stagg said: Well, since its foot comes out of the shell first, I think its eye ought to be on its foot so that it can see where to step.

Miss Hanna (to one of the gym classes) : Girls, lift up both feet and raise your arms to die sides. Ella, writing a syllogism on the board, spelled truly, t-r-u-e-l-y. Dr. Bridges: It ' s very well to spell with ease (e ' s), but this is one case when it can ' t be done. Maude Stroup: I have resolved this year to love all mankind.

Queens College It will be known in college history as the first to be graduated from the new college home in Myers Park. With tears of tenderness we send them forth into the world, but with the confident hope that they will make the name of their Alma Mater more splendid by their loyal words and brave achievements. We are comforted that the light will not go entirely out when they leave us. It will be shook and made to shine again next September when another Senior class will take the torch of truth into its hands, and still other classes will respond to the call, Rise, light, and shine. On September fifteenth, nineteen hun- dred fifteen, the college hopes to extend a warm welcome to many girls whose desire and purpose it is to become highly educated, queenly women.
