NV RESIDENT JOHN PRESTON MCCONNELL, PH. D., the Q92 I subject of this sketch, was born in Scott County, Virginia, February 22, IS66. He was reared on the farm and thus secured that valuable training, in contact with nature, which is indispensable to XS successful life, and that physical vigor which is the precursor of 6-' V X capacity for much hard work. In his development, from early childhood to mature manhood, he has had opportunity to see and experience something of every phase of Southern educational effort. He sums up in his life the traditions of this great Southern mountain section. He personifies the best aspira- tions of a great Southern people. He has a personal acquaintance with people through- out this end of the commonwealth that is admirable, a personal touch that causes the people to place confidence in himg a genial manner that wins friends for himself and his institution, and makes no enemies. He is courteous and tactful in his dealings with other people, which fact enables him to drive successfully to the attainment of purposes without antagonizing those differing with him. In his administration of the Radford Normal School his work has been singularly free from criticism. The people who patronize this institution express in their attitude the belief that President McConnell will do the right thing in his dealings. Probably no normal school president is more loyally supported by the confidence and coiiperation of the whole people than is President McConnell. Thus he has an unparalleled oppor- tunity for really constructive service in the present progressive Southern civilization, in which Virginia has a large part. Not one of his friends doubts that he will measure up to this opportunity in a large way in setting the ideals of this institution. Jos. E. AVENT.

Q1 ,., tiiiiiiiiilisssel g K f K t 5 ' W Uribe jiomnat ,,.,f HE Radford State Normal and Industrial School was established by Act of General Assembly of Virginia, in l9l0. The city of Rad- ford made provision lor securing the site, and the Board of Trustees Ipxfj? acquired a part of Norwood estate from Captain and lVlrs. Stockton Heth. On the normal school grounds is a virgin forest of oak. 2 ZQYIAWN t The General Assembly, in l9l2, made appropriations for the erection of buildings and the equipment and' furnishing of the build- ings. On October Z, l9l l, Dr. P. McConnell was elected president of the institution. On June 6, l9l2, the Board of Trustees, in meeting at East Radford, Virginia, elected most of the members of the faculty for the session of 1913-I4. The other members of the faculty were elected in special meeting of the Board of Trustees in September, l9l3. The Administration Building was completed in the summer of l9l 3, and cost about ninety-three thousand dollars. This building was dedicated with formal ceremonies participated in by Capt. W. T. Baldwin, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Dr. P. McConnell, President of the Normal Schoolg Governor Willialn Hodges Mann, Hon. R. E.. Byrd, and other distinguished citizens, August 9, l9l 3. ln the summer of l9I 3, a boiler house and other minor improvements were provided. The hrst session of this institution opened September l7, l9l3. Ex-Governor J. Hoge Tyler gave an address of welcome to the students and members of the faculty. The devotional exercises were conducted by Rev. W. Rader. Fear had been expressed by many citizens of the State that too many normal schools had been established and that there would not be sufhcient patronage for all the normal schools. The fact, that the number of young women seeking admission to the Radford Normal School at its opening was larger than could be accommodated, showed that there was a real need and demand for this new institution. The school rented Norwood mansion for use as a dormitory. Norwood and the large frame dormitory rented from Captain l-leth proved insufficient to accommodate the young women desiring to enter the school the first session 11 KAVNOR Immediately after the opening of the institution two literary societies, the Ingles and Pocahontas, were organized and assigned permanent homes in the Administration Building. The Young Women's Christian Association was organized and assigned permanent headquarters in the same building. A Folk Lore Society, Faculty Club, and a host of organizations amongst the students were soon in existence. A Lyceum Course was provided, and a large number of lectures and addresses has been given before the students and faculty throughout the session by men and women prominent in various professions and callings. In August, I9I3, the annual meeting of the Division Superintendents for the State was held in the normal school buildings. In March, I9l4, a joint Educational Con- ference of the teachers of the Ninth and Sixth Congressional Districts was held in the normal school buildings, March 5th, 6th, and 7th. The General Assembly of Virginia, in March, l9l4, has made liberal appropria- tions for the enlargement of the work of the Radford Normal School. The physical equipment of the institution, and the attendance of students, will doubtless be greatly augmented within the next two years. 12 EW-Q fl FAQ M LW KADNOR faculty JOHN PRESTON MCCONNELL, B.

Her pet aversion is cleaning house Qit's a shame lo send her forth with such a recommenclalionj. Her pet diversion is either going to Blacksburg or working for the RADNOR. Like the most of us she has many in- dividual differences. Unlike the most of us, her tendencies to do many things. wise or otherwise, are very prominent. We have triecl to find out some- thing about her past life, but she has no memory of anything that happened before january, I9l4 fthe beginning of the RADNORD. Her friends. however, say she graduated at the Woodlawn High School, and completed the Junior year at Farmville.

Soon after this important event, which happened some time in the year IS94, she moved to Taze- well. Strange as it may seem, she is sure that she has lived there ever since. There she lived the average life of the average child. After Enishing at the Tazewell High School, she went to Farm- ville for a year and then came to East Radford to end her school days. If you ask her why she came, she might say that she positively knew that V. P. I. was not so very far away.

She was educated at Blackstone Female Institute, and it goes without saying that if there had been a V. P. I. near Blackstone, we would not have had her with us now. Before entering school here, she spent a while teaching young ideas to sprout, but we rather think there will 'he no more sprouts as the result of her trained hand. When Higgins is gone, we shall have lost a friend indeed, for there is no one else to get even with the faculty njust for spite, and she is the only girl in school who is not forever saying, Ask Higgins: she knows.

Several years later the call of the Southwest came, and she drifted to Stonewall Jackson. There, she completed a course in cooking-much to our sur- prise. Growing tired of being enclosed by a Stonewall, she went to Farmville to try and learn to teach school. For some reason this part of the State called again, consequently she is with us now. Rogers is unique in her ways, but her peculiarities are becoming to herg she thinks what she thinks, and doesn't give a hurrah who knows it. With all her faults, she has a way with her. She says she will leach, but will she?

She came into the world long, and she is likely to stay here long, for she has had every known disease and is still likely to have some of them over again. All of the girls envy her, for she is the only girl in school who was stylish enough to have appenclicitis during the school year. After being at student in the Max Meadows High School for three years, she went to Harrisonburg Normal, and finally lanclecl here lo complete the house that Jack built. She has very long and very good wishes from all her friends ancl classmates. Treasurer of Senior Class: Avent Tennis Clubg I-leath House Club. 29 KAI? O12 Qtibe ?tlun111a'S Gtlnast Alma Mater!

The years arc long, the days are many And I am far away to-nightg But in my dreams I still can see thee Clothed in beauty, splendor bright. Fairest skies of earth above thee, Clearest azure, deepest hlueg Mountains lift their peaks around thee, Clad in springtime's vernal hue. Happy voices ring with gladnessg Friend to friend in laughter calls, Arm in arm again we wander Down thy long, echoing halls. Vanished girlhood! ln recalling Sweetest, dearest dreams, Over Radford Normal schooldays Brightest sunlight gleams. Then he1'e's a toast to Alma Nlater! May all thy days be fair! To thee be all thy daughters faithful, Is a fond alumna's prayer. 30 Uwwowf Cmagg, .- .1--2 T:-Eg' 7, , 5? T.

Such were the beginnings of the class which is the greatest, not only in quantity, but also in the possession km X4 of the sterling qualities which have proved it to be the most repre- hsuftv- TNQ sentative, as well as the most enthusiastic class in the school. If the other classes are inclined to doubt this statement, let them remember that this, the first Junior Class, includes in its membership almost as many students as all the other classes, and is, therefore, more powerful than any other in setting the standards of a new institution. Furthermore, the class represents fifty-four Southwest Virginia families, all of which are composed of splendid, substantial American stock. ' Like a few men and women of all ages, some members of the class have had great- ness thrust upon them. Such are the worthy officers: Anne Muse, presidentg Estelle Greer, vice-presidentg Carrie Greene, secretary, and Margaret Buchanan, treasurer. Some have achieved greatness. Such are the oflicers of the Choral Club: George Morris, presidentg Nell Painter, secretary: and Ruth Dobyns, treasurer. Others were born great and their renown is clue simply to the outcroppings of in- herent ability to write poetry, and play musical instruments: Maude Goodwin, Ada Kyle, Grace Graham, Elizabeth Moran, Faith Camden, and ltflaggie Lou Brown. As the luminaries of the heavens vary in their manner of shining, even so the bright stars of the Junior Class display brilliancy in different lines. Some shine for meng as, Chloe Carson, Eva Dupuy, Estelle Greer, Ada Kyle, Lenna Walters, and Mary Pope. Some sparkle in the parlor and look at those passing, as, Mary Copenhaver, Mayme Bowyer, Clara Delp, Nancy Allen, and Lenna Andis. Some shed their light in the Young Women's Christian Association, among whom may be mentioned Faith Camden, Ruth Welsh, Blanche Graybeal, Lillian Howard, Ella Kelly, Mary Bishop, and Eugenia Darnell. Others beam over books and wear intellectuality written on their brows, as, Maggie Brown, Edna Brown, Bertie Fisher, Eulalia Gardner, Ruby Akers, Clara Stone, Anna Lucas, Nora Hubble, Virginia Brown, Mary I-Iall, and Mabel Ould. Still others scintillate over the basket-ball lielcl, as, Mary Pope, Sara Saunders, Grace Graham, Eva Dupuy, Camm Johnson, Ora Graham, Lenna Walte1's, Virginia Pugh, Burr Wolfe, and Eugenia Wolfe. 34 KAP OR Some there be who do not let their light shine under a bushel, but over and about the Department of Household Artsg as, Lettie Rudy, Chloe Carson, Ruth Halsey, Clara Delp, Carrie Bagwell, Lucille Phipps, and Louise Camper. The course in Manual Arts and Crafts claimed for her own some of the constella- tions whose fame will pass on in the form of paper cutters and desk sets. Those destined to thus live forever are Mosby Charlton, Nell Painter, Eugenia Darnell, Lute Finley, and Cate Dunn. On the night of December the seventeenth, an interesting basket-ball game was played between the first Junior Team and the Freshmen, the score being fourteen to two in favor of the juniors. The Juniors do not confine their helping and leading qualities to their own schoolg they have gone beyond to the orphan school in Richmond and have undertaken the support of a little girl whom they have named June Radnor. This work, begun by the Class of l9l5, will be continued by the Junior Class of each succeeding year. The many organizations such as the Annual Staff, the German Club, the Fireside Club, the Choral Club, the Young Women's Christian Association, and the Dramatic Clubs are either controlled, or largely influenced by the Juniors. Though at times, because of the newness of the school, the road has been rough, each member has refused to be discouraged, and earnestly striven to live the class motto, We can, and we will. I-I1sToR1AN. DJ RAD OJIZL 2tDur ,flower Not much at its start-just a seedlet fYou would never have noticed it therej Blown about by the faintest of breezes, And stirred by a whisper of air. But one day it was torn from its cradle, And wafted away to the earth, Where, all alone and wandering, It was left to await its new birth. The sun shone brighter and brighter, 'Til the seed felt the warmth in its tomb And, filled with a restless longing, Sprang at last into beautiful bloom. Ever striving to come to the sunlight, Ever praying to be like its God, It grew from sheer force of devotion Into a wonderful Colden Rod. It bloomed in a waste land-nor cared not For the gold of the sun was there toog It counted not bareness around it, It knew only the heavens were blue. Day by day, as it grew like its sun-god, It learned the lesson of love: And reached out to those all about it, Trying ever to point them above. And so for our emblem we chose it- Vlfe Juniors of old R. N. S.- To be as a guide for our footsteps, To help us loolc up for the best. When we are worn out and discouraged, And tired of waiting so long, We think of our flower in its earth-tomb, And start back to work with a song, For we know that ere long, like the seedlet, We'll awake to a life that is realg To a world where they'll need us to help them, To a place where we'll find an ideal. Then we'll try, still remembering our flower, To be helpful wherever we areg To point, by the lives we are living, Above-to our Radiant Star. And, at last, when our years number fourscore ffho' in mem'ry we're schoolgirls stillj, O'er the lapse of the years we'll hear echoed Our motto- We can, and we will. MAGGIE Lou Baoww, 'l5.

When all points were counted up and the names enrolled, we found our class to number twelve membersg yes, the chosen twelve. This is a small class compared with some of the others, but you must remember that the best goods are done up in small packages. So far, we have accomplished everything we have attempted. We have butchered Miss Puryear's English, and cut Professor l..ane's Physics. Our basket-ball team is not G-Assisi to be talked about. We, the chosen twelvef' are pressing forward with this aim in view: to reach the Senior goal in l9l6, and then go forth to all points of the compass, as well-trainecl peclagogues, to carry out the great commission of the Radford Normal School. We are few in number, And by some called greeng But we'll do all things proper By nineteen hundred sixteen.

Here the N ' l' . . . . 6925 girls came to form new friendships and to take up various courses. Among those assembled were a few who, for the first time, had has left home for school. As it happened, I was among the few. I can 'i9!f1' :NU never forget how lonely and miserable I became after the excitement of arriving was over, but in time this wore off with me, as it did with the other girls, for I know they felt much as l did. When I took up my studies and became acquainted with my classmates, I was soon wrapped up in the pleasures, the work, and play of student life. I was just beginning to feel at home when one day the president read the following announcement in chapel: All students who are classed as Freshmen will please meet in the auditorium immediately after chapel to organize their class. I attended this meet- ing, and, when I saw all the class together, it impressed me as being exceedingly bright and enthusiastic. At this meeting one of the best classes in school was organized. An excellent leader was chosen when Sina Jones was elected president. Sallie Mae Hurley was made vice-presidentg Lila Stump, secretary: and Elizabeth Kelly, treasurer. The class unanimously elected Miss Florence Baird as faculty adviser. The class, thus well organized, started out upon its year's journey with stout hearts and busy minds. Since then this band has distinguished itself in many ways. Our basket-ball team has been prominent in several match games, showing that our class has its share of Olympic strength. On January 20, the class gave a carnival, which has proved to be one of the greatest events of the year. It is useless to try to state all that we have accom- plished or what we intend to accomplish. Let this be said: we are taking part in all the school activities, and are making a record of which each member of our class will be proud. The year is passing and commencement is not far off. We begin to long for our well-deserved vacation. It will be but a few weeks until the doors of the Radford Normal School will close on the first sessiong then my history must close, for we will no longer be Freshmen, but Sophomores.

'lB. 49 ' 1 I 4- lE,.-4Xll7lXIfCDlt2', Qlumpensation was a bleak, cold evening in December. Snow had been falling -'L Q purest whiteg but now the wind was blowing, sometimes by fits and f X starts, then again in long-drawn moans. It whistled and groaned . v' pb. T all day, and the ground was covered with a wonderful blanket of z Q! xi 1 l x 56 5 around the white cottage on the hill till the little gray-haired woman. ' shivering, drew closer before the dymg coals. Lois Rogers had been a beautiful girl in her day. As one of the belles of Richmond, she had been loved and admired by the whole capital. Now, as a gray-haired old lady, she fondly recalled those happy days. Remembering the merry balls and the gay dinners she had attended, she smiled as to her mind came the remembrance of one moonlight night when Carter Rogers had asked her to be his bride. They were married in the early spring when the birds, the brooks, and the flowers were filling the world with song and beauty, and when their hearts were dancing with the joy of life. All of this had been before the war. When she thought of what followed it, she shuddered and closed her eyes as if to shut out the dark scenes that came before them. Instead, however, pictures of battle, of dying soldiers, and of her husband's death kept thronging before her. She shrank back in her chair, trying to rid herself of these dreadful thoughts. On they came, telling of her struggle with life, how she had lived only for her little baby, the one light in her world of darknessg and, then-as if to mock her--of how her child had died, and of how she had raved against her Lord. That had been fifty years ago, but to-night Lois remembered it so vividly that she rose from her chair, and with her voice trembling in passion, cried: Lord, what have I done that thou punishest me so, and what have I done that thou bringest me no rest? As if to answer her, there came from across the snow the sweet peals of the village church bells. She then remembered that it was Christmas night, and the little children were singing hymns to the great Messiah. In the peal of the bells she heard angel voices singing, Peace on earth, good will toward men. The voices came stronger, clearer: they rose and fell in beautiful harmony, and then died away till only the bells were heard. Lois listened, but no sound came to her save the music of the choir. She fell on her knees in agony of suffering and prayed that the power of submission might be given her, and that the peace of God might come into her broken life. Exhausted with the intensity of her prayer, she slipped to the floor: in her heart was born the peace which passeth all understanding. Eusia W. WALTERS, 'I 7. 50 L 1 P ,, T 7,1 7 K..

ADA KYLE, 'I 5. 54 CAMPUS Sczmas 1 I K A 117 0 R Moist 5um1new 'TW AUI.. WESTON came out of the Waldorf Astoria and gazed up and 9:2 down the street for a taxicab in which he might go to the station. L He was glad that it was his last night in New York, and that he F1 fj,4BTd'l was going home-back to dear old Virginia. As Weston hated wg New York with all the heart of a true-born Virginian, his visit had 5' been truly a business one. Standing there on the corner, Weston was entirely unconscious of the mass of people that passedg he was thinking of a conversation that he had just had with his cousin, Mrs. Page. As usual, she had been chiding him because he did not marryg and, as usual, he had replied: ' Oh, l'm too devoted to my clubs and my tobacco to ever harbor the marriage idea. But you are getting old, she had persisted. Only thirty-one. l..et's see, Clara, you are- 'iNot fait, she pouted. I Weston was brought back to the consciousness of his surroundings by a small voice at his elbow and a timid pull at his sleeve. C Violets, sir? He looked down at the little flower girl, who was holding up a tpayiof viqlfets for his inspection. It struck him that she was a beautiful child, and he her eyes particularly-they were just the color of violets. ' I What is your name, child?', Violet, she answered simply. Your name is Violet, your eyes are violet, and you sell violets, mused Weston. I was born when the wild violets were in bloom. 1 How long ago? Fifteen years, sirf' Fifteen years old. How long have you sold flowers? he asked. Several months, in fact, ever since my mother died. Weston noticed the correct English used by this child. It was not the language of the streets, nor was her accent exactly American. A Hl'low is it, he asked, that your language 'is so ?', 5G KADNOR Oh, you see, father was a preacher before he died, and my mother was an English lady. Grandfather disinherited her because she married poor Papa. Weston patted the little girl's sunny head and asked kindly: I-low do you live? I sell flowers and live with my old nurse, Macy. She is very kind to me, but I would be much happier if I could go to school. A sudden idea occurred to Weston. He had never done anything really worth while in his life. Why not take this little orphan back to Virginia and educate her among the members of the class to which she rightly belonged? With all his millions he could at least make one soul happy. Five years have passed. Violet is now a member of the Senior Class of Newson College. She expects to graduate in June and then settle clown to her chosen work- writing fairy tales for children. Paul Weston has an entirely different plan for this young lady's future, and he is, even now, beginning to summon courage to suggest his plan for an event which he would like to have take place when the violets are in bloom.

When Dr. lVlcConnell told us last fall that he had rented the num- ber of AKERS that we wanted for a school garden at a reasonable sum PUR-YEAR, we clapped our hands for joy, and ever lVlORAN to see the place. All during the long winter months, when the winds howled and the snow came, covering the ground with a soft white blanket, we sat around our fires in MORRIS chairs and talked about the garden that we were to make when spring came. But talking was not all we did. A peep into some of the girls' rooms would reveal tables littered with seed catalogues. Around these tables were groups of earnest girls selecting seed. Some were wrangling as to whether a certain spot should be devoted to cabbage or seedless tomatoes, while others were wondering if eight billion cabbage plants would be enough to set out. In the room across the HALL there was another group armed with pencils, rulers, and compasses, drawing plans for that garden. How happy we were in spite of all the hard work, and how we looked forward to that grand AVENT-the beginning of our garden. When all the plans were drawn and all the seed and gardening implements were ordered from DURMAN and SAUNDER5, we settled down to wait for the springtime. What fear and anxiety we experienced for February the second! Our fears, too, were well grounded. Not for years had the ground hog had such an opportunity to see his shadow, and never was prophecy more truly fulfilled. Often, when looking at the snow, we would see in place of the while fields stretches of GREEN, which, on closer exam- ination proved to be row after row of cabbages shaded by nodding plum trees, weighed down with the fruit they bore. - But it is a long LANE that has no turning. One morning we were awakened by the song of a bird-a bluebird just returned from the sunny South. The sun was shining warmly, and a soft breeze was gently blowing. That day we began our garden. Up in the GARRETT we went and dragged out of the cob-WEBB all the OULD straw hats we could find. Then, having been joined by Miss Denny, we were ready 75 .KAVNOR to SALLY forth with GAY hearts and much FAITH in our undertaking. After reaching the garden we BAIRD our arms and went to work. Every STUMP was pulled up, every STONE removed, and every BURRfdockJ burned. Next came the plowing. Witli MAUD and DOBYNS, our faithful team, hitched to a big JOHNSON plow, and with Miss Denny sitting on TOPPER the fence to SHO-WALTER, the GARDNER, what to do, the ground was soon ready for the seed. The planting of the vegetables came first. There were many divided opinions as to what vegetables we should plant, but everybody agreed that cabbage would be a C-OOD,IN. Plum trees and cane held the second placeg for, had we not promised Dr. McConnell when he demurred about the size and cost of our garden spot, that we would raise enough cabbage, prunes, and syrup to supply not only our school, but all the schools in Southwest VIRGINIA the following winter? Some, remembering their fond- ness for GRAI-IAM biscuits, wanted to sow wheat, and others, who were looking forward to summer time, wanted JACKSON watermelons and WATKINS cantaloupes. The girls east of the Blue Ridge insisted that SIMMONS should not be left out. Since our nature demands that we be not only utilitarian but also aesthetic, we made VIOLET beds, planted Cox-combs, BROWN-eyed SUSANS, Sweet WILLIAMS, Roses, MARGARET sweetpeas, and sowed grass on every LEDGE. Then we set out cabbage plants in every available space. Now that all the planting was DUNN there was nothing to do but to wait until the plants came up. ln about two weeks every plant was up and then HOWCI-IJARD we had to work to keep the weeds from choking them. Early in the morning, and at noon when the sun poured its broiling rays upon us, and even in the evening when all was calm and still we labored there, little caring if we were burned BROWN and BLACK. Not even the EASTERLY rains could keep us from our garden. What did it matter if Ethel did MYERQSJ as she was trying to reach the cabbage bed? There were plenty there to LENNA helping hand to FIS!-IER out all muddy and TE fAD RRY and to ADA in cleaning her shoes. Just as the warm days of MAY shade into the warmer days of JUNE our garden changed from a growing mass of plants to a place of loveliness. It was so beautiful that a noted PAINTER QHARRISON FISHER, came there to get the setting for his master- pieceg poets came to MUSE, and, being inspired, wrote of the flowers that were fit to GRACE the table of the POPEQ a horticulturist came and pronounced our cabbage the KING of cabbages. Later, linding that there were more than we needed, we shipped some to all parts of the world, even to far-away INDIA. But we can not stay here always, we must make room for others. Already there are for next year numbers of applications, which remind us that we must go. There are 76 lZ,AUNOlQL yet, however, many things to be done by those who come after us. There are flower seeds to he gathered, syrup to be made, prunes to be dried, and cabbage to be stored away. The wheat is ready to be harvested, and Walter is waiting to PHILL-UP the BAC.-WELL and CARRIE. it to the dusty MILLER, while it is selling above PARR. But we must not tarry longerg and so we leave the gardener with a GUNN to watch over our garden and keep the WOLF out of the fold until our successors come. To you who follow us we leave this sacred spot, hoping that the work we have so faithfully carried on may be continued with such care and enthusiasm that, although the number of students will increase each year, the garden PREST-ON by Dr. McConnell and Miss Denny will ever supply a sufficiency of prunes and cabbage.

W. E. GILBERT, President CHLOE CARSON, Secretary -f i HE purpose of the Folklore Society, which was recently organized, is fif ec:-N C-GQ Km to discover, collect, and publish in the form of a bulletin, certain w Lt traditional customs, beliefs, tales, lcolloquialisms, ballads, folk-songs, and other historical and traditional matter. The students and faculty of the Radford Normal will seek the cooperation of the people of 5 YH' 9 5 all Southwestern Virginia, which is very rich in this kind of material, in making a suitable collection for early publication. Those who will help in this work, in addition to looking out for subject matter on the above subjects, can aid very materially by sending information regarding the origin of the local names of mountains, streams, churches, school-houses, magisterial districts, counties, towns, and cities, as well as about the location of Indian towns, camps, places of sport, and battle- grounds in any and all the wars that have affected our part of the State. The phase of work most emphasized just now is that of collecting English and Scottish Popular Ballads and folk-songs that have been handed down unrellectively from generation to generation, since their origin in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. No part of the United States is richer in ballads and songs than this part of Virginia. Several ballads and songs have been reported which will become property of our society. Meetings of the society were held March 3d and April 28th. Dr. C. Alphonso Smith and others have made addresses. Plans are being formed for work during the coming vacation. 100 KADNOR MISS JAMES 5 n f 'E if MES DARST Ulf .ALLEN, NIARCIE ALBERT, KATHREN BEVINS, WORTIE BUCK, LILLIAN BowYER, MAYME COMES, MARJORIE CHARLTON, THELMA CUNDIFF, EULA CAMPER, LOUISE CHARLTON, MosI3Y CARDEN, .ANNIE CROCKETT, BERT CALDWELL, LoRENA CUNNINGHAM, NELL CALIEEE, TAPSCOTT CARSON, CI-ILOE DEATON, GRAYCE DAILEY, ELLEN DAVIDSON, LULA EINSTEIN, EMMA Miss BAIRIJ EINSTEIN, NINA EINSTEIN, IDA EINSTEIN, SALLIE FISHER, BIRTIE FLEENOR, VIOLET GREER, ESTELLE GARDNER, EULALIE HUDSON, GAY HURLEY, SALLIE MAE JONES, HELEN JACKSON, FLORENCE KINZER, NORA KELLY, ELIZABETH LAWRENCE, l'IATTIE LEsTER, MYRTLE LUCAS, ANNA MCCONNELL, LOIS MYERS, ETHEL MORAN, ELIZABETH MORAN, AGNES 101 MCFADDIN, GENORA MAYs, THELMA OGLESBY, RACPIEL OULD, NIABEL PAINTER, NELL PUCH, VIRGINIA PRATT, ANNA ROBERTS, LOTTIE ROBERTS, ANNIE KUI-IN ROBY, MARY ROBINSON, MIRIAM ROYAL, MRs.

Mrs. Brugh was forced to reply: 'Tm not running the electric plant to-day, therefore I can't just say whether we will or not. ' No sooner had Lenna been successfully Hsquelchecln than the quiet in the oflice was again disturbed. This time it was the telephone. Mrs. Brugh rose wearily and answered its insistent call. Miss Cl? Yes. Certainly, just hold the 'phonef' A few minutes later Grace entered the office and walked gingerly towards the 'phone. She started to put the receiver to her mouth, but hesitated and asked doubtfully: Is this thing r-e-a-dy? flVlrs. Brugh suddenly found it necessary to hunt for Billy in the hall.D A few minutes later, the office door opened to admit Mary, who was Wearing a dreadfully woebegone expression. O LMuddy Brughf am I taking it? Taking what, Mary?', as Measles, wailed Mary. Yes, dear, I believe you are, admitted Mrs. Brugh with a sigh. Well, give me something quick to keep me from breaking out until after Friday night!-but you may put in a grain of something to bring it out about Saturday night, because it will be right convenient to be sick Sunday so I won't have to endure compulsory religionf' The little Peace Cod had a glorious reign of three entire minutes before the next Normal Light appeared. It was timid little Elsie, Who, standing demurely on one foot, said: Papa 'phoned Dr. McConnell to let me come home to-night and he said I might go. All right, clear. If Dr. McConnell said you could go, you may. 118 RAP OJIZL Well, Mrs. Brugh, will you go with me to the station and introduce me to the ticket agent so I can get my ticket? CAgain Muddy Brughi' went in search of Billy. J ulVlrs. Brugh, please go up to room 27, quickli' After hastening up three flights of steps, lVlrs. Brugh found herself called to witness a sacred vow, for the naughty three were solemnly promising that they would break out that night so they wouldn't have to go to breakfast next morning. After the vow had been taken, Elizabeth mounted the rostrum ga trunkj and said: Mrs, Brugh, I don't think you all have any right to make me go to church here. Don't you go to church when you are in Bland? Yes, ma'am.,' . Well, why can't you go to church here, if you go when you are at home? Because I am a Democrat, and there isn't a Democrat church in Radford. When Mrs. Brugh and Billy were sadly returning to the office, they met Ada- poor, weeping Ada-who said: H 'Muddy Brughf the roof is leaking right over my bed. Oh, won't you please go sit on the leak while I take my nap? This was too much even for Mrs. Brugh's power of endurance. Catching Billy under her protecting arm, she sped down the stairway to get her gun. Since then the little Peace God has reigned supreme in the Radford Normal School dormitory. 1151 lZ,.Al7NOl2L - X aa XA 06 , 00006620 00 , obit? 000 O AQQ Q, O 0.0 OQQZKCO O1 0 0 0000 O y yO 00 O!

These attractions have been enjoyed by ' 't t the ear's the people of Radford as well as by the students.

N l . . Q 1i2g'2vTg3gh y It seems that their neighbors and classmates, the I-leth House 5 . . . . glrls, had not been so thoughtless-or industrious-and were to give a reception, boys invited. The action of the dormitory girls might cause some people to think that they were envious of their Heth House comrades, but such feelings were foreign to the hearts of the dormitory spooks, who intended to celebrate the occasion appropriately. At eight o'cloclc, a line of ghostly figures, stepping to sepulchral tune unheard by mortal ears, filed down the road from the dormitory in mysterious silence. At the Heth House gate they formed a line across the road, there to await the arrival of those coveted creatures, called men. And did they have to wait? No, indeed, girls never dog that is, ghost girls. Up the road the boys came plodding, and brave ones they were, too, for the ghosts seemingly had no power to frighten them. It was fully a half an hour later, when Jack-o'-lanterns from up the road reminded them, these careless fellows, that they were tardy for the reception. V It is not customary for spirits and haunts to have their pictures taken, but this rash crowd so far departed from the laws of Spoolcland as to do this very thing: and, if the readers of Radford are especially anxious, they can actually see the mysterious proof of my statement. . 121 RAD OIIZL jTHfl1It,I2 9190591 Bztittll A large and appreciative audience of students and representative citizens filled the auditorium of the Administration Building on Thursday night, December eleventh, when Miss Baird, head of the music department, assisted by members of the faculty and Mrs. McCarty and Mr. E.. S. Jones, gave a music recital. The recital was, in a way, an illustrated lecture on appreciation and history of music. The numbers on the program represented different styles of music, from rote songs to classical, involving all the basic principles of vocalization. Miss Baird had previously given the students a talk as to the purpose and scope of the selections rendered, thus preparing them for a more thorough and critical appreciation. The story of the opera Der Freischutzf' with details of the aria, was also sketched. This is the first of a number of recitals to be given by the music department. The Normal, young as it is, has already built up an atmosphere and tone of its own, which were evidenced in many ways, the school spirit blending with appreciation of the evening for itself. The young ladies who acted as ushers wore pennants, and the school colors of purple and grey were artistically combined in the decorationsg the stage, with its potted plants and careful setting, being in harmony with the beauty and dignity of the occasion.

Receptiuiri The occasion which furnished an oasis in our desert of homesickness was the Y. W. C. A. reception. Up to that time things in general had looked pretty clark, and registering and getting located was as hopeless as a Chinese puzzle. But a receptionl-- the very word has power to thrill the schoolgirlg for here was a chance to don one's prettiest frock and get acquainted with classmates-perhaps pick out a prospective crush. At four o'clock the girls found themselves seated in the gym, talking like life-long friends, and sipping hot chocolate with a contentment that even registering couldn't disturb. When six o'clock came, they trooped gaily back to the dormitory, feeling as if life really were worth the struggle. Glue Gibmiksgiuiilg lteceptinn The first reception given in the dormitory of the Radford Normal School was held on the evening of November twenty-seventh, when about fifty of the young ladies participated in a Thanksgiving entertainment. As this was a subscription affair, each girl had the privilege of inviting a friend. This made it very interesting, as so many came from a distance, and in this way all made new acquaintances. The guests were met at the door by a committee of the girls and introduced to Dr. McConnell and to the members of the home department. The color scheme of white and green was carried out both in decorations and the refreshments. Of course every one had the time of their lives. 123 KAUNOR 'RR.Cx, E502 Ql:fJEf5fITttI5 lkeccptiun The following announcement was read in chapel about a week before Christmas: The faculty will give an informal reception in the gym on Thursday evening. All the young ladies are requested to dress as girls and boys ten years oldf' Oh, such excitement! No more studying was done that day, and, for the next week, costumes were eagerly talked of, hair was just made to be long curls, and dates were made. At last the gala night arrived, and the little girls found themselves taken in charge by their escorts, and marched proudly to the Administration Building. At eight oiclock the gym doors were thrown open, and what do you suppose held dominion therein? Yes, a real Christmas tree, Haunting dozens of different lights, and spreading protecting arms over no end of mysterious bundles. On the plea that children will be children, we can excuse the whoops and yells of joy that this fair sight brought forth. But no sooner had the sharp edge of surprise worn off when in walked the entire faculty, representing an old Southern family. Miss Moffett and Dr. McConnell were the parents, M1'S. Brugh acted as the sister of Miss Moffett, and Miss Baird, with Professor Avent, played the part of the grandparents. Then came Miss Montague and Miss James as the old-maid daughters. Very stately and dignified was Miss Puryear as the blooming and lovely daughter, a Southern belle, who was very much in love with Mr. Gilbert, as Cousin Jack. But fate was in the game, and so the wrong girl captured the heart of Jack. This mischief-maker was no one else but Miss Terry, as Celeste, the French maid, and their romance was a very interesting one. The discarded damsel bewailed her fate, but all in vain, for, during the course of the evening, Celeste and Jack eloped, as is the case with most lovers who are interfered with. To return to our family, there was Miss Simmons as the black mammy, Miss Harrison as a trained nurse, Miss Denny as a gay, young widow, and Miss Ruggles and 124 KAUNOR Miss Bulifant as cousins of the family. When each member had been formally intro- duced to the boys and girls, grandmother and grandfather delighted the crowd by singing Silver Threads Among the Gold. The family was a source of amusement all during the evening: but there was a Santa Claus, too, who certainly must not be slighted. This mysterious and jolly old fellow was immensely popular, and all the more so because he was impersonated by Professor Lane. Each child received a beautiful toy, some candy, and a big, yellow orange with a stick of real striped candy in it, just ready foriuse. After the distributing of the presents, the photographer came to take a picture of the happy crowd. This last event ended the program, and the sleepy little totsh were glad enough to go back to the dormitory to dream of the happiest Christmas ever spent. , A ,tall y . . ' ei itil - I' 25- L rl!

This Carnival was directed by Miss Baird, assisted by Misses Simmons, Moffett, and James. Among the attractions offered may be mentioned the Select Minstrel Show. This was given by ten young ladies, each an artist in her line. The program included songs, humorous dialogues, banjo playing, choruses, and clog dancing. Another feature of the evening's entertainment was a splendid moving-picture show. Three reels: A Normal Day, The Faculty, and A High School Flirtationn were enjoyed by the ever-interested audience. . The circus was constantly the scene of excited spectators. The Big Black Bear, which danced, the Tame Wolf,,' the Flying Lady, the Pet Seal, Robinson Crusoe, and the Japanese Tumblers made things merry. For spectacular effects, nothing was more successful than the pantomime, Blue- bearcl's Wives. Hair literally stood on end as the horrors of this story were unfolded. 125 KAP 01122 Two gipsy tents were Meccas for numerous lads and lassies who were bent on peering into the future. Mutt and Jeff kept the large police force busy by their efforts to butt intou all the shows. They were finally left in charge of the conductor of the Ragtime Band. Instruments of Torture, played upon by persevering musicians, kept the throng of visitors wondering what would happen next, which, to their surprise, was a handful of confetti thrown in the face of the unsuspecting visitor. Fun and pleasure were at the candy wheel, where the cry of Paddles combined ever and anon with that of the big bass horn to draw daring adventurers. Most effectively topping the kaleidoscope of color and noise, in the balcony of the gymnasium, dimly lighted and presided over by softly treading kimono wearers, was the Japanese Tea Room, where sooner or later all repaired to refresh themselves with cool or warm drinks, and to watch the thrilling moving picture below. This, the first entertainment of its nature ever given in Radford, and the first effort made toward the financial support of the Annual, met with a very encouraging appre- ciation from a large gathering. .ef 5 as 2 i 4 VA rf? SQ Ti rt! S 7 The i9aIe11tin2 Dance It was a cold, blustering Saturday night, and the fourteenth of February, around the dormitory the wind howled and shrieked, but inside all was warm and bright. The German Club was giving its first dance, and the big dining-room fairly blazed with red lights. Long rows of hearts suspended from the ceiling and draped around the room made it seem like a veritable Cupid's den. At eight-thirty the couples began to arrive, and by nine o'clock the hall was crowded with a very gay and elegantly dressed assemblage. The faculty was there, a few other guests, and the members of the German Club. Not all danced, but those who did not joined in the round march, the punch drinking, and general me1'riment of the occasion. Dancing was continued until eleven, when the gaieties were brought to a close by the colored orchestra, which sang to an audience thoroughly prepared by its early rising habits to appreciate its sentiment, a 'lcoon song, entitled, I Hates to Crit up Early in de lVlornin'. 126 .KAPNOR Qgifllligijf QBIBIIHUZ What means that subdued whispering through the dormitory halls and in a few rooms on third floor? When the bell rings for the close of study hour no one is left wondering. The Midnight Serenadersn are on parade. Clad in kimonos and boucloir caps, some beating tin pans with hair brushes, some playing harps, all in different keys, and others singing several different songs, they run through the halls, dodging Mrs. Brugh, and finally land on the Roof Garden. Here, with Estelle as ringleader and with Winnie and Mayme her close seconds, they serenade the town until Dr. McConnell is called out of his front door to find out what the noise is. While Chloe and Eva play the harps, and Lenna and Marjorie sing, Sarah, Ruth, Ada, Sal, Ellen, and Eulah race around the roof dragging their pans on the wire netting and raising an unearthly uproar in every possible way. But, listen! That door is certainly being locked! And now the serenaders must use their persuasive powers on Mrs. Brugh in order to get back to their rooms. At last her heart is touched and the door is opened, but, alas! their punishment is not over, for Mrs. Brugh stands there with a paddle in her hand, and no guilty serenader escapes her. One o'clock and all is quiet. But listen at the door of room thirty-five and hear the whispered plans for the next parade. Surely the midnight serenaders are not to be subdued. 4 as QI '1 l aff' I' N - m fg Jim.
