Let's see-yes, of course we were all babies once-ate bread and milk and in fear and trembling did awful stunts for stern, cruel judges. After that-I believe we ventured into politics and elected Fanchon Hathaway president and Marie von Schroeder keeper of the safety deposit vault. Athletics? Why, we defeated our rivals, the Sophomores in the annual basket ball game. That was a day for you! What happened next? There was a banquet at the Thadwa and-of course those days are a bit dim being so many years past. The Sophomore year was very busy with its social, musical, literary and dramatic interests. Lolo Jeffries was our chief executivell that year, Edna Rendall had charge of the finance and Norma Haegg kept our books. It was that year, too, that we used to go on jolly bob-ride sprees when the snow was fine, with Fraulein Behrens to bail us out if we fell in to the Rock River. , ' When we returned in the following September, we felt that our youth as a class had been left behind us and that we were face to face with the more serious problems of life. First, the Animal was still in the realm of potentiality and it was for us to bring it before the public. Tree ll Rogers began the arduous task of cultivating Rockfordls literary genius and when she had to leave us, brave little Norma took it up and carried it through. Ruth Hathaway was elected president and with her we worked hard to make our 'fstunts successful. Then there was the room all our own! We had many cozy meetings there, dreaming of how it would look when-and when-and when. The May party was under our management and again our little helmsman showed her stuff, by the way she worked to make every one have the grandest time of her life. My, but we were proud when she stood up to receive a big arm full of roses from Miss Gulliver! Ivy day with its procession and class song in the early morning, followed by a break- fast, Commencement with all its ceremonies and the bestowal of the cap and gown made us feel that we were really attaining at last the awful majesty of seniorhood. Perhaps we felt the profound dignity of it more at that time than during this our last year. We have had such jolly teas every other week and Agnes Williarns, our president, has had so many brilliant ideas for making money that our 'fdignitiesll have escaped our minds. First we had the 15 Calendars to publish, then the Christmas cards to sell and last and biggest of all, the Rockford College song book to edit. And tl1e mock wedding! I-low can one feel like a Senior, when in real life one is a flower girl, or a best man, or a !11'zhQ'.' It certainly was lovely to be a Senior, though, when the Sophornores treated ns to a breakfast at the Nelson and showered us with roses afterward, ' And as we think it all over, the whole way has been showered with roses.

Perhaps there was safety in numbers, for we hear of no in- stance when she was undaunted, but rather, that she fearlessly and nobly pursued her even way, sometimes, it is true, stopping to impress her worth upon others, sometimes battling for supremacy, but, always serene and un- ruffled, she was generally on top. The oldest inhabitants combined to thwart the rising hopes of the young- stersg perhaps to teach them their own importance, or to wreak vengeance upon some one, even though innocent, for previous injuries-who knows? But certain it is that 1913 had the same trials to face and she came out of them unscathecl, with the same fixed purpose of revenge which had embittered the spirits of her sisters. She gathered together the discarded clothes of her small sister in pre- paration for the much advertised Baby Party, calm despite the premoni- tions which she may have gathered from the too frequent glimpses of gig- gling Sophoniores, or pitying glances from sisterly juniors. If she had to wear short skirts and fluffy bows, and eat bread and milk, she kept her poise, and the school still speaks of the dignified way in which Maie VValler sang, I Love You Truly, and the cahn, self-possession of Frances Oliver in her five-minute discourse on Things in General. Since the tormentors were always firmly determined to test the young- sters well, the next ordeal was Tolo initation. IQI3, thinking that her Alma Mater was perhaps a little too rollicking, and keeping always before her her own dignity, decided to give the club a rare intellectual treat. Julius Caesar was played in a way most flattering to Shakespeare. I'ortia's hair and Caesar's voice will descend to posterity. Since precocious 1913 was already making a place for herself, the doors to that coveted position, Old-girlship were opened to her. But her head was not turned, instead, she straightway chose her leaders in order to prove her business ability as she had already shown her intellectual. Frank was her president, with Lovey to substitute, for 1913 was wise enough to for- see all emergencies. Bowman took care of the finances, and 1913, fully equipped, began her incomparable career receiving all due respect from the upper classes. 22 --I rf- W 191 1 was the first to pay homage and usher IQI3 into her social career, and here she gave promise of becoming a star. She entertained the juniors with quite a superior card party at the Nelson, and from the Iunior's report we have inferred that the first venture of 1913 into the social world was a great success. Only one thing happened that first year to shake IQI3,S composure. Although she did, for a moment, become bewildered, she easily surmounted the difhculty and sailed 011 all the more smoothly, having left the ruffled waters far in her wake. The Sophomores were jealous of her acknowledged prestige, her pronounced ability, and her many successes, and tried to humil- iate her. 1913, being on the heights, resented the attempt to pull her down and acted as her decisive nature prompted. In history, the Freshman Rush will not be forgotten, nor did the Sophomores forget it as they added dignity to their years, and forever after they rendered to 1913 that which was due her. We hear of no other instance when all respect was not paid her, and when June came she tur11ed her face homeward, with the satisfaction of hav- ing carried out a worthy policy. This same idea was uppermost when she returned in September. Hav- ing the well-earned respect of her upper classmen she had no fears that homage from the Freshmen would be lacking. And certalnly all was paid in the Baby Party when she took her seat upon the platform and impressed the Babies with her tolerance and justice. To direct her policy, she chose Peg, who had proven her ability the year before, and 'fArt for her assistant. Her opinion as to the honesty of Jeannette, whom she chose for treasurer, was so valued by the others that they immediately decided that Jeannette must be on House Committee, too. 1913 had now taken her rightful place. Young as she was, she had her represen- tatives in the principal executive affairs, while her advice was necessary for the administrative. In athletics she proved her fiber as much in the manner in which she met her defeat in hockey as well as in her victory in baseball. She entertained her sister class, the Seniors, with proper formality, at the Climax and wisely forbore to mention it afterwards. The Seniors in return, took 1913 bobbing-and even 1913 could enjoy a bob-ride. She entertained herself, later in the year with a banquet at the Nelson. The Freshmen, hoping to mar the pleasure, hid all the best dresses but IQI3 proved her superiority over clothes and the occasion was most brilliant. But when IQI3 became junior, she felt that the true scope for her abili- ties had arrived. She fitted into the niche labelled 'fUpper-classmen as if it were made for her. She was magnanimous, yea, even kind to the Freshmen. Tactfully she welcomed them to their college with a brilliant German, she learned their songs and even cheered for them on Field Day with no thought 23 of her own defeat. To marshall her on her way she chose Ollie and Brandy, with Rhodsey to bank the project, for 1913 was at her height. She furnished her room with pillows, she held Junior Tea every other week to promote sociabilityg but above all, she produced the Annual. This Her- culean feat she accomplished with no flaw in her outward serenity. Although busier than ever before, owing to renewed responsibilities, she was able to play with her small sister class and to guide her steps aright. Perhaps her greatest pleasure was the theater party at Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary'--at which the Freshmen were hostesses. IQI3 will continue on her sweet, untroubled way. In her senior year she will tread her difliculties under foot in the undaunted manner of her Freshman days, and when she turns her face to the world, that same indomi- table purpose will bear her to pinnacles much higher than those she has as yet attained.

Sophomore Class History AM the mascot of 1914, Obidiah, a tiny, life-like chap in rompers, who talks not at all, but sees and hears much that happens and is said, up on the Cupola, 1ny especial haunt. The first thing that I can remember in my life was being awakened one beautiful fall morning by the voices of several girls, dressed in short skirts, their hair hanging in curls and braids, armed with kodaks. They talked animatedly about a mysterious Baby Party which they were going to remember 'fforever and ever, and promised solemnly to make the Freshmen next year do worse stunts than Scramble like eggs, f'Scratch like a match and box, etc., etc. And ending their con- versation with, Well, the Sophomores are mighty good sorts, and they didn't treat us half bad after all, down the stairs they went, carrying snap-shots of their first Baby Party. One warm evening soon after this I saw, from my lofty point of vantage, a dancing party in the gymnasium, and from all thatI could observe, the Juniors gave their small sisters a grand good time in every way. About a week later, up the stairs came two negro maidens, a minstrel singer, and a snake charmer. The two dusky maids hauled Giuy,ll the agile snake charmer, around in every position, trying to get the most effective pose, chattering meanwhile about what a wonderful success Tolo Initiation had been, with Bucky and Giny, the stars of the performance. That was the end of the visits to n1y haunt for some time, but I kept my watch over the campus faithfully. One star-litevening, crowds of girls, dressed in their best, crossed the South Second bridge, going into town. I had heard rumors of the Freshmen entertaining the Juniors at the theatre in return for their delightful dance, and as I heard My Heroll sung, whistled, and trilled for the next month, I knew that the sister classes had enjoyed together the Chocolate Soldierfl Every day I saw the hockey teams turn out for hard practice, and daily I grew more impatient for Field Day to arrive. The weather grew colder and colder, and I feared that I should have to retire to warmer regions below be- fore the match game came off. But one sharp November afternoon out trooped the teams, rooters, and faculty, red, old-rose, yellow, and green rib- bons fiying. The game began, from one end of the field to the other went the ball. A hoarse shout floated up to me: Hull, Hull, go it, Hull! Brown, Brownlll and thatls all I heard for the next half hour. And Hull and Brown did 'fgo it, for the Yellow and Green came off victorious. The Red and Old-Rose won the Base Ball match which followed, but I couldn't be downcast even over that,-the Hockey victory had been so glorious. That night I went down stairs to spend the winter, but late spring saw me back again, watching the campus with as keen interest as before. About the first of May the tennis court was put in condition, and little figures in white tossed the balls back and forth, back and forth over the net for hours at a time, it seemed to me. More swiftly and more skilfully they played as the 29 lf days went on, until the second week in June came, the date set for the tour- nament. I knew that the Freshmen would win the game and with it the cup. They did, too, every girl in the class shouting herself hoarse for Brown and Buck, champions. After that carriage after carriage left the east gate, filled with happy girls bound for their various homes, and the rest of the hotiummer I spent watching the workmen so busily engaged both in the old and new dormitories. September saw my class back again, Sophomores now, who spent an ex- cited, busy week in unpacking and getting settled again, in making out new schedules, and in renewing old friendships. The Baby Party and Tolo Inia- tion came and went, followed by several weeks of almost unbroken study-an attempt to conquer the restlessness left by the long summer holiday. In October rumors of two charming social affairs carrie to my ears, a dainty breakfast at the Nelson House, given by the Sophomores in honor of the Seniors, and a rare treat, a Halloween spread at Burr's to which all Sophomore-s were invited by two members of the faculty. Again I saw the hockey teams daily appear on the field for practice, and again I watched the increasing strength of the Yellow and the Green. Cold, rainy, bleak weather persisted, but out came the sturdy teams notwithstand- ing. On the decisive day, in spite of the rain-soaked, slippery field, the Sophomores and Seniors carrie off victorious, jubilant, shouting for their cap- tain until their throats were raw. A week later great excitement reigned in Adams Halls. The Seniors were entertaining the Sophomores at a mock wedding, at which Miss Guine- vere Hortense La Chapelle and Mr. Algernon Augustus de Nan Crede were to be solemnly united in marriage. just before the hour set for the ceremony, Isaw beautifully gowned young ladies, youths in faultless evening dress, elderly gentlemen escorting stately dames, and even grotesque country folk, going from Main to Adams. The charm of the bride, the gallantry of the groom, the grace of the attendants, and the beauty of the ceremony were topics of conversation for a fortnight. I know, for that night I crept down stairs again to await the coming of spring, and there I have been ever since. Already I can feel the langour of the spring in my life-like body, and I'm going to sleep, to sleep until the first cry of Love Thirty from the tennis court calls me as before to the Cupola, my especial haunt.

Petty rules, binding regulations and severe officials ever on the war-path are the phases of it that first call it to her attention, but adjust- ment soon comes, the old girls fall into the well-known order of things is in and the new girls follow suit, until what at first seemed government by a few reality government by each and all. And this is our ideal, to have it, in truth as well as in essence, Self-gov- ernment as opposed to Student government, not an idealistic, sentimental theory impossible of attainment, but rather public sentiment upheld and lived up to by all-not House Committee versus the girls, but the girls with House Committee, at one and on a par. Let the one remember that girls are girls, and fun is fun, let the other be mindful that the best one can do is not always the right, and let both be characterized by fair judgment, wholesome sympathy and common sense.

The past year Signorina De Fabritiis spent abroad in a very profitable season with Signor Panzoni of the Royal conservatory, Florence, Italy. The ammal concert of the club was given March fifteenth with the assistance of Miss Margaret L. Nlnlford of Chicago, soloist, and Miss Erma Lynn, accompanist, a graduate nmsic student of Rockford. 40 1 -x Glee Club Members HELEN IQIRKPATRICK BIARION WHITE: - - ,S'L'l'l'6'Z'lYlJf 11611511111 l'Ainslee, Helen Allen, Norma Andrews, Mae tBarber, Rnth XBaldwin, Gladys 4Bailey, Irene Beaty, Enid Bert, Mary Bierhaus, Lloyd tBradley, Carol Buck, Ruth Cavanaugh, Maud Clark, Helen 'kCorWin, Sylvia 'lDaugherty, Maud M.

The object of the organization has been to foster dramatics among the girls, by producing several plays at intervals during the year. The Dramatic Club work is distinctly separate from the Commencement play, and is under the supervision of the club girls and one faculty adviser. This year there are thirty-four members enrolled.

This year it has succeeded in securing for itself a permanent basis by stimulating general interest in college athletics, particularly the out door work, and by presenting a beautiful silver cup to the winning team on Field Day. The Association is planning to fit out a new Tennis court this year and also to add some new gymnasium apparatus in addition to the balance-beams and the horse which it has already added. There was unusually good material from which to seclect Hockey and Basket-Ball teams this year and the enthusiasm of the practice games as well as the splendid team work and the sportsmanlike spirit of the final games proves the partial realization of the Associations Ideals-strength of body- strength of character.

The Classical Club VERY other Friday afternoon the Classical Club meets in the Junior Room to talk of the days when K ,I Greece and Rome were great. . t ' 1 Papers and discussions are the order of the fglzrs - i ' day, but the club is not so high-browed as mf to disdain sewing or refreshments. The year began with a meeting at the home of Miss lYaites, the faculty adviser, when plans were laid for a Latin play to be given in translation, early in the spring. The Cap- tivi of Vlautus was chosen. On the twelfth of january the club held a Roman banquet, which the guests attended dressed in Roman costume. The conversation was in Latin, and following the ancient custom, the guests reclined upon couches during the meal. At the beginning of the second semester the new Freshmen members were admitted with an initiation as awesome as any lfleusinian mysteries ever could have been. The new members with the old have succeeded in making the year a splendid success.

The work planned for the present year has made possible many delightful and profitable hours for the members interested in contemporary literary productions and their authors. The first semester was devoted to a study of the Irish drama. For twelve years, now, the Abbey Theatre in Dublin, with its little group of earnest workers and believers, has been producing Irish plays for Irish people, with the sole object of showing Ireland that it has a national litera- ture and can have a national theatre. It is with some of the plays here produced that the club has been dealing: Synge's 'tRiders to the Sea and Play-boy of the Western World, Yeat's Countess Cathleen, and Shadowy Waters. The second semester was given to the study of Con- temporary English drama and dramatists, supplemented by informal reports on current literature.

XV e A' 'N' meet on Thursday night every other week and proceed to D wi pass the evening in the most enjoyable way. No problem plays to study and discuss, no involuntary attention required at all-that's not our kind. lVe just pile pillows to fill up all the curves or angles fas the case may bel of our backs, and comfortably sew or crochet or even sit idle while Friiulein Behrens guides us in our fancy through Deutsch- land's unsurpassed scenery or reads a romance of the blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl and the bold and dashing ofiicer. Nor do we have to worry about using correct English! XYe just carry on our conversation in German and have no difficulty at all. 'Tis an effort to understand if one speaks English! It would seem so far that there is no material side to our Yerein, but this is not the case. At just the right time, good fairies serve us with the daintiest of sandwiches and salad, and give us the rarest coffee to drink, as all good Ger- mans do! Then when it is about time for tardy to ring, we begin to sing, and the pathetic way we render Der Tyroler und Sein Kind is only equalled by the patriotism of Die XYacht am Rhein and the enthusiasm of O Tempora, O Moresf' But just as the sad and tragic end of der Schiffer is being soulfully sung in Die Lorelei, Vic appears and orders us out, not always politely, and we all troop to Main and stumble happilv up the back stairs to be welcomed back by envious stay-at-homes. With such a care-free evening as this, it is not difficult to realize why our club is among the most prosperous of the day. This year four hard- working and deserving Freshmen were admitted to our select circle and they have proved themselves valuable members.

It was the day of the Freshman Circus and the lireshmeu were most importantly' busy. In the evening the fruits of their labors were proudly displayed lYheu the upperelassmen and the faenlty assembled in the gym, they saw before them three saw dust rings, carefully staked ont, and rising around them the white walls of the tent. There was a peeuliar movement behind the sereens at the end of the room- a burst of weird musie and the graml parade began. But such a parade as that was! First, pompous in his dress suit, marched the manager, leading the famous German band. Then followed the most heterogeneous assortment of man and beast that has ever been seen on land or sea. There were monkeys and Clowns, eats, wild Indians, dogs, trapeze performers. ballet girls, seals, fat, thin, bearded, and spotted ladies, snake eharmers, and some weird name- less ereatures that defy description. Even the stage hands and the little peanut boys took part in the parade. 52 The Hrst number on the program was music by the German band. It was really marvelous-the harmonious and soul-inspiring melodies produced. Here von Leuderloiner Splittendorfer, of mammoth proportions, favored us with a selection on the trombone. Never have we heard such enchanting music qnor hope to, ever againl. Then the circus was on in full swing. There were 'tstuntsu inmnnerable. Professor Landon's monkeys and Pro- fessor True's dog and seals showed almost human intelligence. Professor Eis presented a 'thuman druml' whose music rivaled in sweetness, the strains of the German band. Miss Mathilda Stratelace exhibited her trained cats, but this act was brought to an untimely end by the sudden appearance of Professor True's dog from whom the cats fled in terror. The hearts of the spectators were filled with sorrow at the sight of a wan female with a fiery mane, who was vainly attempting to climb a11 imaginary ladder, without end. The trapeze performers were very good, and so was a little ballet dancer, all in blue, and two merry jack tars who did a horn-pipe. There were two acts that were really thrillers, one was a daring exhibition of bare-back riding by three danntless maidens, and the other a chariot race- gorgeous Roman chariots drawn by fiery steeds. And we really musn't forget to mention the clowns. All evening long they were tireless in their efforts to amuse. Will we ever forget that pathetic rendering of Bless your ever lovin' little heart? After the last grand act was over the whole Freshman class rushed together and burst into song. The audience had only a hazy idea of the words they sang, but at least they were able to gather that the Freshmen girls were good old sports after all, and thoroughly glad to be really Rockford girls at last. C. F. L. 515 53 he HalloWe'en Party Take my advice, if you ever have the luck to get out of this world, don't co111e back unless you know the rules. One night every year, St Peter oils the rainbow and lets the spirits slide flown to earth for an annual constitutional. I'p to the A eventful night of which I shall speak, I had always ., refused to go, knowing the effect a sudden change ' K of atmosphere would have on my bones, which were so stiff that the rest of the Bones called me K'Lime. Besides this reason, the climb back up the golden stair in the pale, grey morning after, called up much too vividly, painful recollections. It took strong persuasion to get me to fllll the risk but at last they prevailed. Come on Lime, they said, 'frenew your youth! XYelll run into some rare spook parties and frighten them a bit. And down we slid. After one wild dip, I found myself without my companions in a dark, box like room, very stuffy, and lined with white sheets on brooms. Recovering from the shock, and fumbling nervously, I at last found my second sight under my vest pocket rib and then nearly jumped out of my periosteums at the sight I beheld. There was the very Devil himself shoot- ing sparks over in the corner. Before I could dodge, the old fellow saw me, and. without warning winkecl a large knowing wink at me. It's a spook dance, he hissed in a stage whisper, they don't know they have the real things. Let's give them a little of real Hades. It wouldn't lmrt them- college girls are too liable to think we are all a farce. Suddenly the door opened, revealing a gay picture of yellow lights and swaying figures, and a green, grey, wooly thing that looked like a lNIellon's Food advertisement, followed by an excited, trembling throng, much beyond description. The door slmt, the wooly thing raised one of its wooly append- ages and said in a sepulchral tones Beware of the River Styx,my brethren, as one girl stumbled over the twigs in the pan of water in the doorway. ffHere, here is the King of the Lower YVorld. Don't be afraid, ladies, we have him chained. As it rattled the chain on the devil's hoof, a sudden snort and a blinding glint from Satan through his tin eye sent the guide and the shivering crowd into a panic. I reached down, comfortingly, and grasped the hand of a strong minded looking individual with a f'Yotes for VVoman 54 placard. VVith a scream, she wilted, and sank fainting into the arms of her escort, wl1o looked gratefully at me as he slyly removed the sign board. The rest of the crowd were running madly about in the dark, groaning and weep- ing, so I slipped out through the door to verify my first fascinating glimpse. In the room hung with jack-o-lanterns for lights, banked with yellow corn stalks, and draped with graceful bands of black and yellow, danced a merry throng. Aha! thought I, as I saw a beautiful Turkish maiden gliding by with a Russian count, this is something like! I didnlt expect to see al! my friends. Wonder if they knew I was coming? Now for a dance. VVith eager rattling of my bones, I stepped up to a neat little nurse, who had known me well before she made bones of me. With a blank stare, she cut me dead. No need to try that again, said I bitterly. You cut me dead enough once,'! and passed on. Surely there would be plenty of others. But school girls, fiower girls, witches, Dutch maidens, Indian squaws, college graduates, nurse girls, gypsy charmers, all danced merrily by without a glance of recognition. Even my old Klu Klux Klan regarded me with suspicion when I gave them the fraternal grip. As I walked alone on the edge of the throng, even the jack-o-lanterns smoked on indifferently and the corn stalks turned their ears away. What was wrong! Was there no way to get through? Was it mortal to forget-and immortal to remember? Was there nothing on earth which would treat me as in olden times? Then I saw the punch bowl. Cider! Here was my chance. I knew what cider ought to do if l drank enough of it. If there was to be any hope for me, here was the proof. I drank with a vengeance, one glass full after another. Ch! the delightful dizzy, hazy feeling! There was hope! And just then I felt a presence beside me and looked up to see another skeleton gazing at me intently. With fervor, I shook his hand. Is it the same with you?'! I whispered happily. Are you, too, down, and out of it all? No,!' said he. L'Don't you know the secret of it? Despairingly I shook my head. Tell me quickly, I cried. How long have you been out? he asked. 'fEver since, I replied meaningly. t'Aha! No wonderlt' he cried with gusto. Do you really want to know how to keep from becoming a truly 'dead one? W I do, said I solemnly. Punching me in the ribs confidentially, he leaned over and whispered Come to the Rockford College Hallowelen Party every year from now on.'! And I will. E, M, B, 313 55 t The Mock Vifedding l.I'l 1'I.li before eight o'clock, on the evening of October the twenty- yfi eighth, the ushers were busily engaged in escorting the guests, AF- the Sopliomores, to seats in the Semior-Sophomore room, which had llecll converted into a chapel. A wide aisle ran thru the middle, leading to the improvised altar, that was formed of palms, ferns, chrysanthemums and hanging baskets. All was expectancy. ,X general buzz of excitement was easily notice- able among the audience. .Xs the strains of 3Iendelssohn's XVedding March were heard, some few peered over their shoulders to see who were coming, while others, for fear of appearing over-curious, kept their eyes rigidly fixed on the altar before them. Four ribbon bearers entered with ropes of smilax to form an aisle for the bridal party. Behind them, came the two bridesmaids in white dresses, with arm bouquets of yellow chrysanthemums, followed by the maid of honor, gowned in yellow satin and carrying an arm bouquet of white chrysanthe- mums. The little flower-girl came next with her pretty basket of petals, strewing them in great profusion before-her, who gowned in exquisite white satin with trimmings of real lace, and enveloped in a long veil caught 56 to her coiffure with a handsome brooch, the gift of the groom, came in on the arm of her father, Mr. Francois La Chapelle, with her eyes lowered, but with her face radiant with eager anticipation. At the same time the clergyman, bride-groom, and best 1118.11 advanced from a side entrance. All was silent save for the soft distant echo of Nevins' Love Song. Slowly and with accents deep and sonorous, spoke the clergyman: I 'tDearly beloved, we are gathered here, out of sight of faculty, and trustees, of juniors and Freshmen, and in the face of this company, to join together this Human and this VVoman in fragile matrimony, which is a delicate estate, instituted by man in the time of his innocency. I require and charge ye both as ye will answer at the dreadful day of judgment before house committee, when the secrets of all hearts shall be disclosed, that if either of you know any impediment, why ye may not lawfully be joined together after Tardy, ye do now confess it. Algernon Augustus, wilt thou have this woman to be thy dreaded wife, to live together after Tardy in the fragile estate of matrimony? Wilt thou love her, comfort her, honor her, and keep her in violets and Educators, in sickness and in health, and forsaking all others, keep thee only unto her, so long as ye both will have senior duties? I willl' said the groom. Guinivere I-Iortense, wilt thou have this hu-man to be thy dreaded husband, etc? I will, quavered the bride. Witli this ring, I thee wed, and with all my worldly goodie-goodies, I thee endow. In the name of Rockford College, is now and evermore shall be, she is a perfect lady. Forasmuch as these two have consented together in fragile dreadlock, and have witnessed the same before this heterogeneous company, and have thereto brought their troth to a sorry plight, each to the other, and have declared the same by borrowing and loaning this ring, and by holding hands, I pronounce them crush and crushee, in name a farce, but in flame. After the service, the triumphant Wecldiiig March of Lohengrin Qtogether with a hearty chivaree, made by spectators outside the windowsj was heard, and the guests, preceded by the bridal party, were ushered into the dining room, a veritable japanese garden in the cherry blossom season, where light refreshments were served. The numerous and useful wedding presents were then admired, hearty congratulations were given and received, good-nightsl' were exchanged, and Adams Hall was again silent. A. C. W. '12 57 ' ' .

F von had happened to slip in among the guests on the evening of December ninth, nineteen hundred and eleven, von would have partici- pated in one of Rockford's loveliest parties. Because of the size of our youngest class, the Freshmen, we were obliged to limit the lists to the members of the upper classes, and to von, a former visitor, the faces must have seemed strangely familiar. The reception line formed in Middle Hall at seven o'clock, and at seven-thirty the guests were escorted through john Barnes Hall to the gymnasium. The gvnniasiuin itself was also in holiday gavety, with ceil- ing allfl walls covered with southern smilax, and glowing warmly with its shaded lights, while from the far end, came the opening chords of the orchestra which was partially screened from view. The new hall in the 58 john Barnes' Dormitory, which opens into the gymnasium was filled with comfortable chairs and cushions and there were two frappe tables for use between the dances. i The refreslments could not have been better, The frappff made a stand and held out In the hands of a careful conductor Music stopped, by the bell, on the dot. RECEPTION LINE Miss Kathleen Hoole President Gulliver Miss Agnes Williams Mr. and Mrs. john Barnes, Ir. Miss Meta Schulz Rev. and Mrs. N. B. Clinch Miss Helen Tribou Mrs. Seely Perry Miss Castro Miss Baird The Freshman Informal On the thirteenth of January the Freshmen held their Informal in the gymnasium. As it was their only dance they did their utmost toimake it a success. The class president, Ruth Mitchell, was elected chairman. Those on the various committees were: DECORATION.-Eva Hulson, Helen Kirkpatrick. PROGRAM.-Helen Kirkpatrick, Grace Garrett. MUSIC.-Sylva Corwin, Helen Heffron. REFRESHMENT.-Annette Shoudy, Eva Robie. The decorations in Gymnasium Hall were lavender and green. A false ceiling of green was put in and the lights were covered with lavender shades. Palms and ferns in the corners made a charming back ground for the dancers, and with chairs and rugs, the annex was converted into a comfort- able retreat between dances. The music, which was excellent, was furnished by Duracher of Chicago. The chaperons for the evening were President Gulliver, Mrs. Chambers, Miss Ruth Hathaway, Miss Agnes Williaiiis, Miss Mildred Wood, and Miss Norma Allen. 59 The Pudding AKE a bunch of jolly goodnatured juniors. Put them in the gymnasium at Rockford College. Have them hang rugs on the wall between each window. Have them hang up large red umbrellas here and there. Have them drape everything with red streamers, intermingled with boughs of green. Add to that a stage fixed comfortably for onlookers. Sift wax all over the floor. Add together lights turned low and swinging music. Mix well with Freshmen, ready for some fun, and stir in many lovely favors, lots of pretty dance figures, and some good dancers. Flavor with delicious punch between every dance. Keep cool about one hundred girls for three hours and a half. Try this at any time of year and it will succeed if the directions are followed carefully. S.C.'15 The Sauce X IFT a few drops of junior pepper to each of eight heaping spoonfuls of generous Freshmen dough. Stir up thoroughly with the farce L of Aunt Mary in her Rejuvenation, after having poured mixture d into a theatre.

XVhcn just at the boiling point, beat it out of the theatre. If directions have been followed carefully, it should, when poured out in a cold place, not set but run -home. E. M. B. '13 N. B. To be fully appreciated, this sauce should not be served until pudding is quite cold. 60 The Mock Promenade HE Mock Prom this year was a mighty affair And all those who ran it were burdened with care They suffered and struggled and worked for a week And gay decorations they went far to seek. Dinner parties occured on that memorable night Each gentleman had a fair dame on his right The flirting and ogling was shocking to see And with chocolate cigars came most gay repartee. Wlieii dinner was o'er, to the hall they made way And at half after seven they stood in array, The fair Helen Hayward was head of the line And in wonderful splendor did glitter and shine. The stately Miss Bramhall with drops in her ears Made the maidens all jealous, exciting their fears. The gentlemen knew her as Mrs. Von Rich And when once they had met her, their ladies they'd ditch. One gentleman came, of exceeding great height His legs were too long and his trousers too tight, His knees could not bend as he mounted the stair, And did anyone see him accepting a chair? One amorous maid asked her true love, a swain Who hailed from the country, his clothes made it plain, He wore a gray suit, with a coat to his knees, And trousers that tripped him, when he wished most to please From all parts of the country they came here that night And the hearts that they broke were too many to cite. A young devil, Courtney, made conquests galore, In dancing, his coat-tails Happed fit to adore. Had we space we could tell you of many things rare, Of all that occurred and of those who were there. just one word in closing-to you we would say, If next year you're asked, why don't stay away. C.

Suflice it to say to the eager reader that it was thoroughly a Rockford College stunt, prepared with due care and pains- taking, and placed before the public gaze as a per- fected production of the infant Dramatic Club.

For sure, it is a feed! So at the scrumptious Nelson The Sophs called for the best. The fat and healthy Seniors Can testify the rest. 63 1 ,alt ,f, K 'N i l xx l f X J- 5, , ll lk , f lg p fl' AR.

V' i ZH s A L, ,gg T' xl The VVashington Party HE trustees, faculty, numerous guests, and the students were royally entertained on February seventeenth by the Seniors and Sopho- inores. The event was thc lYashington party, for which Rockford College possesses widespread fame, and into the spirit of which every one enters with the utmost zeal. At six o'clock each gallant gentleman led his fair lady to the dining room, which was festively decorated in accordance with the spirit of the occa- sion. In the center of each table was an artistic center piece composed of a basket of brilliant red flowers. Red, white and blue shields hung from the edges of the tables, and tiny red hatchets served as place cards. The only light in the room was that given by the four candles on each table. These candles were covered with ingenious red shades which cast a glow over the quaint costumes, powdered hair and bright faces of those around the tables. A delicious dinner was served and after it was over the fair dames and their gallants gathered around the piano at the end of the dining hall and sang a toast to Rockford College with lusty enthusiani. The couples were then sent to the gymnasium, which was resplendent in its display of patriotism. The 64 . THE MINUET ceiling and walls were covered with Hags and other symbolic emblems which should not fail to stir the heart of every true American. As soon as the onlookers were seated, the stately chords of the minuet were heard, and the old time dance was gracefully performed by the Misses Mildred VVood, Helen Tribou, Marcia Snow, Cecil Palmeter, Frances Madi- son, MaryMcFarland, Katherine Landon, jane Helmer, Kathleen Hoole, Lois Carlson, Jenn Brown, Lloyd Beerhaus, Gladys Baldwin, Dorothy Bundy, Irene Bailey and Helen .-Xinslee. XYatching the dancers tread their stately measures in the dim mellow believed ourselves light of the gayly festooned room, we might easily have transported back to the quaint old times when our early forefathers fought, labored, and loved. Everyone sat spellbound until the dignified cavaliers escorted their charming partners to their seats and then all the couples formed for the grand march. It was led by Miss -Xgnes lVil- liams, president of the Senior class, and Miss jenn Brown, president of the Sophomore class. In their wake and their handsomely attired es- corts. The picturesque line paced slowly around the gymnasium, and in the course of the march formed the letter R. Attractive white programs, the covers of which were adorned with Old Glory were soon hlled out, and the dancing began. .Xll too rapidly did the minutes slip by, as dreamy waltzes followed rollicking two- steps with short intermissions to promenade. lYhen, however, the bell for dispersion rang, the com- pany said good night and went to dream happily of cocked hats and black patches. All felt that the occasion had been one of the most charming they had ever witnessed, and complimented the Seniors and Sophomores heartily on their ability as hostesses. Our only wish is thatall XYashington parties which shall be given in the years to come may be as great successes as that of IQI2. E. Y.

For no matter how lovely and bewitching the queen who has held sway over our hearts, every year we crown a new queen on the Hrst of May. All things were ready, for the event was to take place on the morrow. The ladies-iu- waiting had their court gowns all fresh and ready, laid away in tissue paper and lavendar. The children had gathered millions of violets and fashioned a crown more wonderful than any of diamonds or sapphires. But no where in all the realm could they find a lad, who could serve as a page. A page must have long curls falling about his shoulders. I-Ie must be slim and straight, but at the same time sturdy and gallant. All the princes had grown too tall for such service and had cut their hair and put on plumed helmets and gone to the wars Now I am only a village lass, who have always loved to climb trees and run races with the smithy's son-and I not seldom outstrip him, too. I always hated my long hair and wished it cut, but my mother would not. Imagine my surprise when Queen Martha, remembering a service done by my father, gave commands that I should dress as a page and lead the May-day procession. My mother-much to my grief-put my straight hair in curlers and 'I scarce slept the whole night with the excite- ment and those bumps on my head. 67 Soon after mid day a great crowd assembled on the green slope north of the Castle. The procession formed on the western side and proceeded gg around the Palace of my Lord Adams. About twenty paces behind me came Queen Martha of Duuton and then the Maid of Honor, the court ladies, the vil- lagers and the players, all in very fine array. They stood around the throne while the Queen took her seat. I thought she looked somewhat sad with her wreath of withered violets, the crown of last year. She nodded to me and I sped over the green grass to Adams' Palace. There, in royal purple and purest white, came the new queen, divinely tall and e'en then crowned by the gods with richest gold. I lifted her train over the roadway and she passed on to the throne, while the people raised a great cheer. The Maid of Honor placed on her head the violet crown and she in return crowned the old queen with forget-me-nots. Then followed much festivity, folk dances were given by the vil- lagers and a tale of the awakening of a Crocus was enacted for us, for it was woven in music and dances by an ancient bard and his band of strollers. At sunset a great banquet was served on the western slope of the castle grounds and always I sat at the feet of my queen. That night I gave back my suit of white satin and my purple mantle and became just a common village lass once more. But in my dreams I was a purple and white bird, flying over the grass to sing a song of greeting to Bertha, the new queen of May. M. H. K.

And then we were out on the campus, all golden haze, soft green, and gleaming dew, for there neyer was a more perfect Tree Day in all the history of that ancient custom. The seniors, sedate in cap and gown, had formed for the procession which precedes the ceremony of planting, and the sophomores happy, chat- tering, and in most heterogeneous array, scrambled into line and became solenm. Slowly, and with a wabbly attempt at rhytluu we marched around Chapel Hall, down the slope, across the bridge, to a spot where was a gap- ing hole in the ground, a little tree lying near by, and Gus, bored and sleepy, but ready for action. Then the seniors left us standing respectfully on the out-skirts, and gathered around the tiny red maple which Gus tucked in the hole and steadied, while libations were poured upon its roots. It was christened with milk, water and wine, the wine being passed by one of our members who 70 shook with nervousness the while. Each senior then threw a shovel of dirt over the roots of the tree, and Gus finished the business with a few master- ful strokes. So the IQI I tree was planted, and seniors and sophomores marched back together singing lustily, until we reached the steps of Main where we cheered loud and long for the seniors, and made them pose for numerous snap shots. We sang for the college, for the senior class, and for ourselves, until at last, as the breakfast bell pealed out cheerfully, we again joined the seniors in Lest old acquaintance be forgot And days at old R. C., VVe plant this maple red today With love and loyalty. And as the months and years roll by Gur hearts will ever hold Fond memories of our friendships here, And thoughts of days of old. T lunior Ivy Day UST as the sun was rising one beautiful, crisp morning in early May, the jolly Juniors gathered together for the purpose of performing the most important of class ceremonies, namely, the planting of the ivy. The ceremony began by the singing of our ivy song as we marched out of Middle Hall, over the terraces, and around Linden, accompanied by our ever loyal sister classinen, the Freshmen. This song, composed by our literary light, Myra King, is so symbolical of our class spirit that we give it here in order that those who were asleep and did not hear it then may know it now. Tune-- The Orange and the Black. Oh, we'll sing a song for Rockford, The school we love so well, And let the morning echoes , Our merry chorus swell. The tender ivy's growing, Safe sheltered by the walls Where we have learned and struggled Within these stately halls. We never shall forget you, Till sun and stars grow cold Be green, 0 gentle tendrils Till we have all grown old. All, all, dear Alma Mater Who pass this way shall know The ivy vine grows lustily Because We love you so. 71 From Linden Hall we marched south to the new dormitory-the new dormitory of which we were all so proud. Our class was the first to have the honor of planting iyy near the stately walls. On the west side overlooking the river, we had selected a place where we were to plant our ivy. Around this we formed a semi-circle, and there the real ceremony took place. Ruth Hathaway, our class president, toasted it first in Greek, break- ing the bottle of milk upon it. The Latin toast with the wine was next given by Jessie Kile, and lastly, Myra King toasted it with water in English, hoping that it may increase and grow until it shall render beautiful the walls of the new dormitory. A glass of grape juice was then given to everyone, and all drank prosperity and a long and useful life to it. By this time the sun was fully np, and seyen o'clock whistles were blowing, so we retraced our steps, singing college and class songs, and completely enjoying the loyliness of an early spring morning. In the dining room we all sat down at one large, gayly trimmed table, and partook of an extra breakfast, remeniscing our early college days, talking of our former classmen who were not with ns, and wondering what the future days held in store for all of us. Hur ceremony ended when we marched late into chapel and the others stood while we took our places. S. J. E, 'I2.

Rogers LAURA GRANT SHORT 75 Baccalaureate Service HE first service of Commencement week of 1911, was held in the Second Congregational church, Sunday morning, june the eleventh. Dr. Gerald Birney Smith of the University of Chicago, delivered the Baccalaureate address to the members of the Senior class, and a large audience of friends. Dr. Smith chose as his theme, The Ministry of Scholarship, and his text was Mark 1o:43g But whosoever would be great among you shall be your minister. In discussing the traits essential to a genuine ministry, Dr. Smith said: ttlt is not enough that one shall have simply the desire to serve. The indispensable prerequisite to ministry is efiiciency, fitness, preparation. The inefhcient, well meaning, ignoramus may do as much harm as the efiicient rascal. Christian ministry is possible only as Christian people possess a distinct fitness for the task which they undertake to do. He called attention to the fact that in all professions today the necessity for special fitness is recognized, and insistence upon it has now become universal. He spoke of the large share which the women of today is taking in the modern transformation of ideals, of her work in art, music, churches, settle- ments, and schools. Because this is true, the last half century has seen an astonishing growth of higher education for women, and the home, woman's supreme sphere, is no longer isolated from the rest of the world, but is now so important a realm, that only the woman of consecrated scholarship can be of greatest service there. To the graduating class, about to leave their Alma Mater for the duties of life, Dr. Smith said: You who today celebrate the close of your college course have before you a splendid opportunity to render a much needed service to the world, because of your preparation. You know how to create and to sustain a noble enthusiasm for the true, the good, and the beautiful, by calling to your aid the resources which God has put into the world for those who understand his ways of working. XYith your idealism and your efficient training, you are supremely called to ministry in our modern world. In the name of lesus, you are summoned to put your gifts and your ambi- tions in the service of his cause, thankful that to you is opened so rare an opportunity for that ministry which alone leads to greatness, and the approval of God.

There was great preparation and planning for the com- ing tournament. YYheu the time came for the tryouts, several interesting games took place amidst attentive audiences. The winners were Margaret Handler and Florence Klinkenberg of the class of 1913 and Helen Buck and jenn Brown of IQI4. How those girls did put to it, that last week before Connnencement Y ln the evenings the college girls divided their attention between the tennis court where exciting games were being played, and the terraces, where they watched their friends preparing to give As You Like It. .Xll were eagerly awaiting the great day set for the finals, it being evi- dent that the opponents were very evenly matched. june twelfth dawned with threatening weather, but the showers of rain which fell at intervals could not interfere with that tournament. Miss VVatters and Xornia .Xllen acted as scorekeepers while four of the the girls, Sara Pol- lock. Iris livans, lidith Kirkpatrick and Margaret Fuller, who had played in the tryouts, were linesnien. They were posted near each of the four corners of the court, to note where the halls landed, and to pursue those that went outside. The tirst set ended with the score of six to three in favor of the freshmen. The next Set proved the evenness of the match when the score came out three to six. The iinal set was played amidst great shouting and excitement, and when the girls of IQI4 won, six In four, the delight of the freshies was unbounded. They rushed happily in- to Middle Ilall where President Gnlliver presented the silver cup, reminding the girls that not only had the winners gained a victory in tennis, but the losers had also gained the victory of a generous spirit and self-control.

LASS Day dawned bright and fair on the morning of the thirteenth, and the campus became thickly dotted about ten olclock, with spec- tators from the college, and from town. As we sat around on pillows and camp chairs waiting for the performance to begin, we could see Hitting about through the trees gayly clad creatures-pink, blue, green, lav- endor,-resembling at that distance nothing ever seen on land nor sea. And then came strains of music-the Alma Mater,-and there presently appeared wendiug its way over the campus a procession, swaying, and singing lustily, as it came. First the faculty who were to be judges of the events to come, august and impressive, in cap and gown, then the seniors also in the garb of dignity, and following in their wake a long wiggly line of above mentioned bright creatures which turned out to be Greek athletes and dancers. One's Hrst impression was of a long moving picture, including Greek coiffures, wrappings of colored cheese cloth, bows and arrows and other implements, and rapidly moving legs. When, amid much clapping on the part of the spectators, the procession reached the middle of the field, there was a break 81 he in the line, and the faculty and seniors proceeded to the other side of the Held, where they sat in imposing array, while the company of performers with- drew to one side to await their cues. Then the herald, Miss Waites, in correct classical attire, strode into the middle of the field and announced through a trumpet and in Greek, that the games were about to begin. . Thereupon several of the brightly hued non-descripts strove with one another in preliminary races. Upon that followed discus throwing in which mighty strength of muscle was displayed, and then the final race in which participated the winners in the heats. Then the broad jump, and after that the intellectual feast of the occasion. This last consisted in the appearance in turn, of three Greek damsels in the middle of the field, who declaimed in far-away tones, odes of their own composition. For a time there was great consternation among the the athletes. The target which was to figure in the archery contest refused to be found. The situation looked desperate, until one of the spectators nobly offered up a red sailor hat, bought the week before at an auction for twenty-live cents, for use as a target, and things proceeded comfortably. The hat, stabbed to a tree with a hat pin, suffered not at all. The last of the athletic performances was the tug of war. After each contest the winners betook themselves to the solemn row of judges, where they were crowned with ivy, by President Gulliver, as the chief Hellandicas. Then followed a series of dances illustrating the Choice of Paris, very gracefully done by Irma Brand, Esther Dustan, Marguerite Patet, and Mar- tha Patrick. The last event of all was the annual presentation of the cap and gown by the Seniors to the Juniors, in the persons of the two presidents, Martha Dunton and Ruth Hathaway. Then the procession formed again and marched triumphantly back to the college buildings singing this time the Greek song of Archilochus, the music of which was written by Miss Marion Ralston. The preparation and planning of Class Day this year was done by the Senior Class and the Classical Club, and much credit is due to both for their original and well executed work. 82 Y ' Ql1'I1II1IIB1IIfB1IIB1T't Qlunzeri qltvshng Q'I1rrniug, glam' lfr, T911 :Ai riglzi u'rlntk Rurkfurh Qiullvge Qllmpel PYUQYHIHIUB Quartette-Die Walkure Wagner Misses Bartholomew, Zuttermeister, Lynn and Rhodes Voice-Voi, che sapete fLe Nozze di Figaroj Mozarl The Sands of Dee Clay Miss Lucile White CMiss Erma Lynn, Accompanistl Organ-Third Sonata in C minor fllexander Guilmant Prelude-Adagio-Fuga Miss Genevieve Newman Duo-Suite Algerienne Op. 60 C.

At the close of the Concert Overture, played by Mrs. Short, Jerusalem the Golden was sung as a Processional by the students as they entered. Following the Scripture lesson and Responsive service, the grand old Alma Mater, dear to the heart of every Rockford College girl, was sung with rousing enthusiasm, after which Rev. Harry F. Dewey delivered the commencement address: Utilizing the Gift. Rev. Dewey urged the demand for deeper culture and higher standards of moral character. W'hat has the world in store for me? is the question that comes to every girl during the last serious hours of connnencement. It is a question no one can answer in advance, but each may know in her heart of hearts that no matter what form the externalities of her life may take, it lies with her and her inner consciousness to live welll Personal effort and achievement are of more value than the gifts of fortune. The alert and active mind is able to utilize the opportunities of the moment, and retain a place in the ever advancing procession of life. To hold in imagina- tion the ideal, the goal of achievement, and yet to give to the simple task in hand the attention and care necessary for its successful accomplishment, is the secret of attaimnent. Self denial with increasing application is one of the principles to direct the effort toward living, said Rev. Dewey, quoting from Carlyle: Do your work and pocket its annoyances in silence-that is the first element in the dream of a well spent life. But there should be more in life than work, there should be the capacity for enjoying and appreciating its finest things. This ability is attained through culture, and culture comes from the cultivation of the best that is in ourselves, and in our surroundings. It is the indefinable instinct that is able to choose the best where another would take the better, that catches the tone of a situation and is too sensitive to the harmony of life to ever introduce a jarring note. Strength and beauty, work and culture-they go hand in hand and are mutually dependent, but there is a third element in the dream of a well spent life-honor. There is a demand for broader culture and greater effi- ciency, but unless this efiiciency be founded in a life that is trying to con- form to the divine spirit, it will be of short duration and of fleeting infiuence. Culture is not ornamental, nor is it beautiful if it is not benevolent, and character, that finest product, with all its virtues, is but a kind of selfishness, if it is not made the means by which those about us mount to the realization of their better selves. At the close of the address, Mrs. Katherine Tanner Fisk, one of Rock-- ford's own beloved daughters, sang Summer Night, by A. Goring Thomas, and The City, the music of which was composed for Mrs. Fisk by Miss Marion Ralston, Head of the Music Department. M. K.

All the wood was a mystery of gold and green where the tall trees cast their shadows, and the little venturesome sunbeams came twinkling through the rustling leaves and danced upon the undergrowth beneath. The little boy danced too, for he was happy, and he hummed a merry little tune, and whispered back again when the playful breeze murmured in his ear. He was happy, for all this world was his to wander in, -and he was unafraid. He came upon some wild fragrant lilies, almost hidden in their own green leaves, and blue hair-bells that nodded on their slender stems. He passed little trees with glossy, deep green leaves and heavy white blossoms, whose perfume made him faint. He discovered little berries, bright and red, growing on tiny plants, close to the ground. Sometimes the ferns grew so high that he was almost lost amidst their dainty fronds. He saw a little, sharp-nosed eliipmunk that ran up a tree, scolding at him the while, and then came stealing down again to get a better view. He found a sunken, marshy place, where there were tall, strange grasses, and bright spears of cardinal flowers standing gayly in their midst. A pretty thing, all black and yellow, crept away and hid among the leaves at his approach. He wandered on, his arms all full of flowers, and came upon a sleepy little brook, a mirror for the bits of bright blue sky, and feathery sunshine, and the graceful little willow trees which bent to kiss it He saw a fawn that came to drink, and it stop- ped to gaze at him with soft brown eyes before it fled away. He heard no songs nor chattering of birds, for it was nesting time, but now and then he caught a glimpse of flashing orange or red or blue, as some gay parent flew swiftly past, intent upon his errand. And as he wandered on alone and happy and unafraid, his arms full of flowers and his heart full of song, suddenly he came upon a man. The man 88 was not old in years-nor young-yet his face bore many lines, and his eyes were the eyes of one who has seen too much in too short a time. He smiled kindly when he saw the boy, but his smile was melancholy, and the song died on the lips of the boy. There was a log, not far off-an old tree, covered with lichen and feathery moss-and there the man led the boy and they sat down together. You are happy, he said, and his voice was low and mellow, but full of sadness, like his eyes. 'fYou are happy, he said, and unafraid. You see all about you only the greenness of the wood, aiid the brightness of the sun- shine, and the beauty of the flowers and of the plants. You feel only the soft coolness of the breeze, and smell only the sweetness of the perfume with which it is laden. Of the rest-of the perils and dangers which lurk on every side-of these you know nothing-but I will tell you all I know. And he told him all-of the beasts of prey that hid in the shadows, of the poison in the bright red berries, of the pestilence that rose from out the marshes, of snakes that crept about among the leaves and struck at a man unawares, and of the silent death that slept in the sleepy stream. And when he had told him all that he knew-and more-he rose, and went on his way, smiling his kindly melancholy smile, pleased that he had enlightened the child, and made him aware of his danger. But the boy crept, trembling and sobbing, from the woods. C.

VVhy not tonight? Procrastination, the Fat One had already learned, would work no good. She hated a scene, of course-she balm' a scene-but it would be interesting to find out once and for all. It would require a great deal of temerity, more than she was quite willing to acknowledge, and hardest of all was the pro- spect of an idol fallen-an ideal wrecked. She had not yet reached the state of the heroic seeker after truth who cries death is preferable to false belief, but the germ of some such idea was doubtless fermenting in her round young skull. It is however actually a question whether the Fat One had any definite idea that she was deciding anything-she was only five, and as yet had shown herself utterly incapable of the maturity of deliberation one would expect from her years. She only realized that she was very tired of the whole affair, and very curious to probe into certain matters of motive. The situation was-delicate. The Fat One, be it known, belonged to a well-regulated household where there was no luncheon between meals- where, oh worst of woes, the bed time hour was seven. 4The hmniliations that were to come to the poor Fat One and her next of kin from that source during many yearsil Furthermore it was the sad lot of the Fat One to be very young but not the youngest, to be too young to be favored with any par- ticular attentions from the admired sister-next-above in public, but quite old enough to be made more or less yielding 11sc of. She was however quite too ridiculously good natured to resent this at all, even when some older member of the family interfered in the case of a too flagrant exercise of authority. Now the wgfiznl lf1'1'z'!ffv of the family, who threatened to be as pink and accommodatingly round as even the Fat One, nmst have certain attentions. He must be put to bed duly, and to keep him in a quiescent state till Morpheus should arrive, the sister-next-above must lie down with him, her- self ready for bed. Such was the most recent parental edict. And here lay the crux of the whole matter. .ks soon as the youngest was asleep Sister must leave him and come to her own sleeping room down the hall where she and the Fat One had their bed. To meet the exigencies of the occasion, Sister had invented a new game-delightful, fascinating, for the first few nights, b11t at the end of a week or two beginning to show itself not only monotonous but at times positively painful. As soon as Sister was ready to come, she gave a low and peculiar call invented especially for this occasion, and followed by a summons- Polly! The Fat One, whose whole reso- nant name was Elizabeth Hampton Barry, accepted this new name unques- tioningly, as she did everything else which befell her, and at the signal was to come to the bed where the sister-next-above had been strangely but effectually metamorphosed into the old grandmother, blind and halt, and difficult of locomotion. It was the part of Polly, the affectionate and con- siderate grandchild, to assist the tottering steps of grandmother from the place of her sojourn, safely back to her own cottage in the woods. 90 There was something in the whole affair that had at first smacked hugely of romance. Often in the darkness and the expectancy, the Fat One propped her chubby chin on two chubby fists and burying her round little elbows in the pillow, lay so, waiting, staring straight into the darkness, letting all sorts of quaint and lovely thoughts slip leisurely through her mind as she loved to let the war111 sand on the lake shore run through her fingers. And then the element of danger. In the darkness, or in the dimness of the moonlight, wl1o could tell what things might be concealed? The bogie 111311 or the grump or the grogie, any of these might be hidden in the closet or under the bed or behind the softly moving curtains at the window, or perched on the top of the 1nirror. And there were of course the wolves and bears and tigers with which everybody knew the woods were swarming. And certainly it was her place-she so young and strong-to guard and pro- tect her poor old grandmother and prevent her falling prey to any of the dangers that menaced her. Fortunately for the Fat One and for the fate of the game, it did not occur to her at all that the grandchild would certainly be quite as apt as the grandmother to fall prey to the besetting perils. But perhaps most poignant of all was the highly satisfying feeling of wickedness which she was enjoying for one of the few times in her docile and obedient young life. To keep awake when you knew you were supposed to be fast asleep, to get up after mother had tucked you into bed, to be playing when you should have been slumbering. What more delightful? But a change had come over the face of things. The Fat One began to be weary of this every night- and it seemed such a long time to wait. She went almost to sleep sometimes when she lay down, and when she tried sitting up she found it practically as hard to keep awake, and the position much more uncomfortable. And last of all had happened that which set her thinking. The Fat One had beenfin the attic, trying to find in some obscure corner a certain brownie she was quite sure lived there. She had wriggled and squirmed her rotundity into a small crevice between a trunk and the wall and tl1ere she lay rosy, breathless, panting, waiting for energy to back out of her narrow quarters. Presently voices came up the stairs. It was the sister-next-above and the slightly older and immensely superior big brother of eleven. 'Fraidy! 'Fraidyl 'Fraidylll came his taunting voice. 'Fraidy your own self! came the reply in a faint effort at bravado. Huh! Me? Ilm not afraid! but you are scairt of everything. You're scairt of dogs-youlre scairt of spiders--you're scairt of everything-scairt of the dark-Huh! F atty's got more p0lkL' than you havell' He brought out the strange word with much complacency and Fattyl' could fancy his slight swagger as he walked over to a window. In her pain- ful position, one arm squeezed against the wall, the other pinched under her, splinters in her fingers, cobwebs in her face, dust in her eyes, her plump legs extending straight and hopeless behind her-still the Fat One smiled, she also complacent at the new word. It was evidently something nice, and while she was partially conscious that it was utilized more to lower het sister's pride than to raise hers, she was quite willing to gain all possible 91 . pleasure that might accrue to her from the knowledge that in the eyes of so sage a being as her older brother she was a person gifted even above her adored sister. The sister-next-above spoke tentatively. Pm not scared, I tell you- but I know Mama wouldn't like it. I might prob'ly get my dress dirty, or tear it-or-or--something. Her voice sounded a little more self reliant, as if now she were on safe and sure ground. It's just an excuse. I'll go first and show you how to do it, and then you can do it after me. That is of course if you're not afraid! You just drop out of this window as easy as anything onto the roof of the wing, and you lie down and go along the ridge until you come to the end-and then you look down-and it looks so high up where you are, and then you come back, and I'll boost you up. And that's all. The Fat One gasped at this enumeration of terrible possibilities. Should she get out of her place and go to tell mother right away quick? But no-there wasia call from below and sister, plainly relieved, made her escape. The Fat One had thought it all over afterward, and then had come the revelation. Afraid? And afraid of the dark? Could it be that this was the reason for the grandmother game? XVas sister afraid to go through the dark rooms and the hall alone-and so-? She put the thought from her resolutely. But it returned. And the longer she pondered the more she wondered and wondered if it could be so, and wanted a little ashamedly to find out. There were days of struggle, there were hours when all alone she faced the momentous question that would not down, there were sleepless nights, before the call of Polly, when she fought to its bitter finish the problem the gods had given her to unravel. And at last she knew that she must know. No subterfuges, no self-blinding for herg all things nmst be made clear. W'ith a burdening sense of disloyalty she planned her complicated course of action. A string fastened to the squeaking door of her room, the other end in her hand in bed-she to feign slumber, no answer to grandmother's niufiied call, but an alert ear for the footsteps of the deserted aged one. Would it be swift with fright? And then, a quick pull on the door, the sudden squeaking,-and an eye for results. And so the trap was laid, and the Fat One safe and sleepy in her bed was waiting, waiting,-waiting. Suddenly a dim sense of lights, of people moving about, of a strong maternal arm lifting her over to make room for an equally sleepy and semi- conscious sister, an amused maternal voice- The ridiculous child has been playing horse in bed. Something then about the possibility of the baby's going to sleep alone hereafter-a motherly kiss-and then oblivion. And so the question, which the Fat One had faced so heroically and so maturely, reached no solution. 92 66 79 I Am Come Into My Garden HERE is a garden that I have, A garden very fair, Roses red and hollyhocks And common Howers are there. 'Tis there I go when lonely, When lonely where I roam, For there I find the self-same Howers That bloomed for 1116 at home. Another garden grows for me, One that is wondrous wide- 'Tis upland, sun-drenched, purple-hued, High on a mountain side, 'Tis there I catch my visions Of things not seen of men- A wonder and a mystery Quite lost within the glen. I have a-many gardens that I visit when I willg And some with birds and light are gay, And some are dusky-still, There is one garden where I find The lovely flowers of dreams, Another where the waiting air Is murmurous with streams. In each of all my gardens I have some heart's desire, Here in my tiny room are all, Within my twilight fire. A. Y. '13, 93 The Younger Generation EGGY FOSTER was starring in her last matinee performance at the Astor theatre. Down in the parquet, her father watched her happily. Tomorrow they were going back to Virginia, to the old house, yellow as Aunt Chloe's sunshine cake, the house hidden in a small forest of live oaks and magnolias, and fronting on the broad, red-tinted road, which led to Charlottesville. It had been a silent lonely place for seven years, with only an old maminy and a lazy young darkv gardener as caretakers. For when old Colonel Fosters gifted daughter determined to go on the stage, he said farewell to his beloved books, his horses, the old house, and his life-long comrades, to go with her. In his devotion to her, he utterly abandoned his own interests and gave himself up to looking after hotels, railroad arrangements and the financial side of lessons in French, Italian, music and dancing. But chiefest of all, he kept free from challenge, the purity and sweetness of his Margaret. He never complained, but nevertheless he cherished a secret hope that Peggy would grow tired of the noise and hurry, the late hours, the long days of work, and the loneliness of it all. lint she thought of the old days in Vir- ginia, only as something sweet to be remembered, but not regretted, in com- parison with the excitement and brilliance of her life now. Then suddenly she almost surprised her father's breath away by say- ing, with tears in her eyes, that she was dying for a peep at the yellow house. Shall we go down for a visit? he asked glad enough just to see the old place again. UNO, she answered, I mean for keeps. l'm sick of New York. The poor colonel went around on tip-toe for a week, fearing he might wake himself. Perhaps he had overslept and should that very minute be calling Peggy's car instead of dreaming about Yirginia. But no word of hers broke the spell, and finally the tickets were in his purse, the berths engaged, and everything ready. In the lobby that afternoon he chanced to meet an old friend of Margaret's, Richard Graner, musician, actor and dramatist. Vllhere did you get that grin, Colonel? Graner asked, Have you fallen heir to a few millions? This grin was bred in old Virginia, Sir, he replied happily, and I'm taking it back with me tomorrow. VVhatl You are not going away! Margaret and I, Sir, are going home to stay, was the proud answer. I'm sorry for poor old New York! But your glasses will spy out some other star, though you'll not find any brighter than Margaret very soon. The colonel walked on down the aisle, leaving Graner with whirling thoughts. Surprise, disappointment, anger, chagrin, all seemed to circle round and round in his brain. His new drama was not worth a postage stamp to him unless Margaret Foster starred in it. She had been his inspir- ation, she alone could interpret the subtle charm and express the soul he 3 9-1 had put i11to it. Besides, he loved her, and it would take tl1e ligl1t out of his very eyes if l1e lost l1er. The play dragged horribly, he thought. It was a dull affair, and did not half do Peggy justice. The minute it was over, he hurried back to have a talk with her. He had to wait 501116 time before she ca111e from her dress- i11g roo111. Sl1e tried to avoid G11COl111lIEI'I11g him. Holding her big white muff up to l1er face, and seeming not to see l1i111, she hurried toward the door. He reached it before sl1e did, and stopped her. Wfhat a way to rush off, Peggy! he exclaimed. And you i11tend to do the same thing tomorrow, without saying a word to me! tt I did 11ot wish to attract attention to the matter, so I told no one but the manager, sl1e said, VVhy should I tell you? You SllOl1ld-bCC2illSC-IDCCEIUSG you should, thatls all, Peggy. It is crim- i11al for you to leave the stage now, with all New York singing your 1131116 -and I- A sudden idea CHIIIC to him, too unpleasant to endure. Peggy-is there some one down there-waiting ? There is no one-there, she said. 'flVIy father is old-too old for this life, and he is l1011lC-SlClC for Virginia, forthe mountains, and the white pines, the 111ag11olias, the quiet, lazy streets of Charlottesville, and the house where he a11d mother were married! I cannot let you go, Margaret-when your father told me this after- HOO11, why I-I tried to imagine what New York would be without you- what anything would be without you to make it worth while. You must not go away, dearest in all tl1e world-You 1nust stay as New Yorkls sweet- est singer-and my wife-. Margaret! you're crying- She was aware that she was in Richard Graner's arms and was trying to tell him how she had cared through long, long years. In the rush of emotion which swept away everything else, she forgot CVC11 l1er father, until she told Graner l1ow she had planned to go away because she thought she could not endure another day without his love. Then she re1ne111bered. 't Oh! she said, 'tFather! He will be so hurt. I can't hurt l1i1n, dear. t'He will understand. It will break his heart not to go back with me! I can't hurt him- Why, he will know all about it, dearest. He was yOl111g o11ce a11d loved, too. Tell him all about it Peggy, and see what he will say. I know he will not want you to make such a sacrifice. She protested-said she was going back for a year-gave that up be- cause it meant leaving the stage forever, the world, of which her lover was a part,-and finally, just as she had done all her life, made up her r11ind to ask her father for one ITIOTC sacrifice. She let Dick kiss her again a11d agai11, and then ran out through tl1e door right into her fatherls arms. He l1ad restrained his impatience as long as he could and was coming to see what in thunder was keeping Peggy so long. They had planned a gay little di11ner at the Knickerbocker, a11d the colonel's car was waiting. His happiness bubbled over in jokes, tales of l1is 95 adventures abroad, and stories about various friends in Charlottesville. It would seem good to be home again! No noise, nor crowds, nor hurry! just the two of them, with plenty of time to really live. Oh, it would be good ! Margaret summoned all her courage. Every word was torture, but it seemed treachery to put off telling him. Father, I can't go- Not go to dinner? I'm sorry. Are you too tired ! I mean I cannot go-tomorrow- lf you are ill! he began, and she interrupted with the whole story. She was surprised at the way he took it. He seemed as happy as she, and turned his anticipations for the next day into plans for her. She did not see him tear the tickets slowly in two, after she left the car, and drop the useless bits into the snow. The dinner was gay as their din- ners together always were, and on the way back she whispered, Oh dear daddy-so big and sweet and motherly-I love you more tonight than I ever did in all my life. In the spring Margaret and Richard were married, and Colonel Foster left soon after the wedding, for Virginia. Peggy missed his mothering, but the long, gay letters helped a great deal, and if there was a strained note in them, she was too happy to notice. Graner took her to Greece with him, where he was busy all summer on an opera. They returned late in Sep- tember, and Peggy persuaded him to make a fiying visit with her to the yellow house. It had been the hottest summer Virginia had known for twenty-hve years. The whole country was parched, and the road from Charlottesville, red tinted as it was, like a trail of fiaine between the rows of dusty trees. It seemed almost unbearable to Peggy and Dick as they drove out, late one September afternoon. Never mind! she assured him, It will be as cool as a grotto in the yellow house. It always is. The sun was just lingering over the tops of the mountains for one more scorching glance at the valley, when the car stopped at the gate, and Mar- garet ran up the driveway to the steps. 't Father! she called- Oh Daddy, where are yon? Auntie Chloe ! The old mammy embraced her, muttering and exclaiming under her breath: Oh, Bless de Lawd-My po' lit' Missus- Then a stranger came from the dining room, and spoke to her with grave, sympathetic voice: IYe sent for you as soon as we felt warranted, he said, 'Q but too late nevertheless-Colonel Foster died this morning. Richard caught her in his arms. Hours later she tore open the last mes- sage, which he had written and left for her. Don't feel badly, little Peggy. It is right for the younger generation to love and live and follow its own pathways unhindered by the older. God bless you both, mv dear, dear children, and your children forever. M. H.

To the Seniors and Sophomores they suggest chainpions-cup-yellow and green. To the Freshmen they bring back thoughts-no, not of defeat, but rather, those of a well-we'll win-next time nature. The Sophomore-Senior hockey team played the junior team on the afternoon of November the twenty fourth. The winners of this game were to play the Freshman team on Field-Day-the twenty-fifth. The juniors showed themselves plucky, and fought hard, but the opposing team proved successful. The junior line-up was: Center forward ........... ..Stone Left half ......

Mastin From the beginning, the Freshmen put up a good fight and by their speedy work kept the opposing team from making any goals, during the first half. About the middle of the first half, Mackin scored one goal. Hunter showed good work in holding back the opposing center forward, and the Freslnnan wings played hard against Buck and Brown. The first half ended with one point in favor of the Freslnnen. Near the beginning of second half McFarland made a goalg the Freslnnen struggled valiantly to keep the ball up field, but to no avail, for the quick full- backs sent it down again. .Xnother goal-this time for Buck. The whistle blew again. Hull got the ball and one stroke sent it whizzing over goal line. Up hill went the ball and it was then sent back by lYhite. The Freshmen worked hard, but suddenly Buck made another goal. The referee's whistle blew the end of the second half and the Sophoniores had the victory. The champions were then presented with the cup, by President Gulliver, and Norma Allen gave the members of the three teams their mnnerals. As was the compact, the Freslnnen, the defeated, entertained the Seniors and Sophomores at dinner that evening and the day ended with fun, and good feeling on both sides. 98 ,f N 9 Q .

M S... Intimate Interviews CTh.anks to Life for the suggestionj VER in Penheld, outside the bath room door, the maids were chatter- ing chatteringly. Dondee, locked in the bathroom, sat looking mo- rosely at Dondee. For a while, since his bestowal there, he had stood on his hind legs with ears glued to the key hole, trying to eaves- drop. But as the poor little soul Qwe don't know whether dogs have souls or not, but we have seen some that deserve themnj could understand but one language, he finally gave up. Dondee shook his head sadly at Dondee, as he said, HM5' dear comrade, this is certainly a grave situation. Yes, answered Dondee, Aint it fierce that we have to be locked in a bath room, just to be got out of the way! But as long as we're here we might as well make the best of it. I move we have a ttruth meeting? Dondee fell in eagerly Qthatls his general attitudej with Dondee's sugges- tion, and after flipping a cooky to see who would get first question, fDondee wonj the place began to pile up with interrogations. Of course the live question at Rockford always is Wliat is your opinion of co-eds? This question is forced, not avoidable, and momentous not trivial. So naturally the first thing Dondee asked Dondee was Wliat is your honest opinion of Co-eds? Dondee's face fell, for he knew that to answer this question truthfully, would land him in jail. But truth is truth, so as tactfully as possible, he 103 answered: If one's sole idea is inatrimony, I should advise co-ed schools, but for a deep-seated knowledges of facts, based on general universal princi- ples, I should choose Rockford College. And too one is safe here from the vvorld's temptations, and can labor nnceasingly being undisturbed by any man, from Prom to Prom. It is a well authenticized fact, old man, that marriages, seven times out of ten, are unhappy, and you know that most co-eds marry. Those so fortunate as to escape, I find invariably eke out their existence afterwards, by teaching in a girls' school, so why not go to a girl's school in the first place, where there is absolutely no chance of venturing into the unhappy wedded state? Dondee, eager to escape such vital questions, and to turn the conversa- tion into a more personal one, shouted back: How do you like Mrs. C.? My solace in all trouble, responded Dondee. My only complaint is, when she takes me down State street she goes so fastl am fairly dragged along by my chain. But say, she isn't in it with Bliss Cannl Do you know that that woman clnbbed me within an inch of my life, the other night, and then kicked me into a corner! Ilondee looked sympathetically at Dondee, as the tears streamed down his smooth, silky hair, and said, I.et's not talk about such harrowing sub- jects, -I can hardly wait for 'Midsummer Night's Dream' to come oiif' Yes, reluctantly admitted Ilondee, it will be hue, but there's one drawback. lYhen Mr. Hadheld is here, I'm simply eclipsed, for days,I go without food and drink. However, it will be warm then, and Isuppose Ican go out and grub np a bone, now and then. More tears sprang to Dondee's eyes, and in his last desperate attempt to guide the conversation into a more cheerful channel, he said, between sobs and gnlps. XVhat do you think of the Joke Editors of the .Xnnnal? Dondee looked straight into IJondee's eyes to see if he were insinuating anything, but as he discerned only sincerity he answered, They're an abused lot. They do their best to write lots of slams and jokes, for the amusement of everyone, and everyone is amused by all the slams and jokes, except those in which she is mentioned. To me, this situation seems tragic, and I weep to think what those poor girls may have to endure on the first of June. Hereupon Ilondee and Ilondee gave themselves up to wild despair, and when IJondee's rescuer came, late in the evening, she found them howling monrnfnlly over the lot of joke-editors.

SOCIETY Miss Sara Pollock entertained informally two appreciative friends on the evening of March 5th, in her apartments in Linden Hall. Refreshments and entertainment consisted of a noted grape fruit deliciously cooled and sweetened. Two freshmen entertained one another rather formally in a bath tub, at a later than fashionable hour. During the month of February, in room 43, a member of the faculty entertained the president of the senior class for the night, and incidentally the college for the following week. Eight freshmen, early in the year, entertained all the old girls at a morality play in which Folly masqued as Remorse, Temptation as Con- science, and Deviltry as Innocence.

Though the champions of a lost cause do not attain to much glory here on earth, their memory is apt to be lovingly cherished in history. Be ye therefore humble, as greater than ye have been humble.

The Sad Tale of I, II and III walked with II on the banks of the river, iu the cool of the even- ing. Soft breezes tangled the strands of their flowing hair, and their spirits exulted in the joy of complete unison, apart from the world, alone, but together, in the mysteries of a dying day. From her window, high in the wall of the ancient pile, III looked down. Her great green eyes were wide in anger at that which she saw below, and the blood, the tears from her weeping heart, dropped from her face, leaving it luminously white, even as the pearls upon her neck. It was unthinkable that such a child should usurp her place by lI's side. In her eyes was the fire of a deadly resolve. It was night. The air was dense with shadows and gloom. A tiny red light burned feebly at the end of the long passage. A door opened, and a lithe figure slipped into the passage. On and on it glided until it stopped. The door of I's room opens stealthily, stealthily the figure slips in. A moment-the silence is broken by a heart rending shriek and cry for mercy. Then all is silent again. The figure reappears, and fades down the long hall. I is no more, and III is known to the world as the beloved of II.

Fire had broken out in the basement of Adams Hall, and the smoke quickly filled the whole building. Owing to the excellent drill, and level-headedness, which characterized all par- ticipants, but small loss of life ensued. Professor Marshall of the Biology department, reported with visible emotion, the death of several craw- fish, two tadpoles cut off in the bloom of early youth, and a jarful of remark- able insects, all of whom, having neglected to cover their mouths with wet towels, succumbed to the suffocating fumes and poisonous gases. Professor Marshall is prostrated, and grave fears are entertained for her health. Says one of the students, VVhen the alarm was sounded at six-thirty this morning, my roommate and I preserved a perfect calm and composure. Knowing well that excitement and haste in time of danger is fatal, we allowed ourselves fifteen minutes in which to collect our faculties, before taking any action. W'e then shut the windows, dressed, and still keeping instructions well in mind, looked about for a woolen garment. Still sup- pressing our agitation, we debated as to who should take the red comforter. I, with a sudden flash of intuition, decided the matter by seizing it for my- self. My roommate unbuttoned and took off her gingham dress, put on and buttoned up a shirt waist, put on her white woolen suit skirt, and then slipped on her white woolen coat. Though both trembling visibly Qwe could now see the smoke pouring out of the Junior room in Adams Hallj we next began a systematic search for a towel. We left no object in the room unturned in our search. To our great relief my roommate at length found a wash rag, and with a thoughtfulness and disregard of self which brought tears to my eyes, offered to share it with me. But the towel must be a wet one! Together, with the wash rag, we covered the road to the toilet room, and soaked the cloth well in water. We then went back to our room to res- cue our valuables, though we were by this time so frightened that we could scarcely Walk. My roommate seized her safe-box containing her switch, and I finally snatched up Jackls picture and my Elocution note book. It is hard at such a time to differentiate the Important from the Non-important. In the halls there was a terrifying absence of smoke. My roommate and I breathed fervent prayers as we sped through the deserted halls, and exited out of doors as quickly as possible. There the utmost system and order prevailed, and we became calm at once. Miss Watters, standing unflinchingly on the top steps of Sill Hall with the regulation wet towel around her mouth, called the roll in firm clear tones. As each name was called, the students, faculty, and maids, responded in a body thus simplify- ing matters inexpressibly. With a few exceptions, all the residents of the college were present, attired in blankets, slickers, bath robes and suits, many with note books firmly clasped. 125 L1eutenants, armed xx1tl1 blue bottles a11d pa1ls of splash1n0 water darted 1nterm1ttently about the scene, tl1l1S keep1110 up tl1e coura0e of the 1nore famt hearted Not unt1l the xahant firemen appeared from the re01on of -Xdams Hall tenderlx carrV1n0 tl1e bod1es of those who had per1shed 111 tl1e flames d1d tl1e crowd 01ve Wax to anx e1not1o11 Tl1e11 111a11x , a11d part1cularlx those xvho had spent 1nanx pleasant a11d profitable l1o11rs 111 tl1e lab xx 1tl1 tl1e xlctnns, xvere seen to glVC xvax to tumultuous feel1110s Here tl1e student, xvl1o xv1shesl1er name xv1thheld broke doxx 11 after tl1e lon0 straln alld COl1ld sax no 111ore Manx deeds of lI'1d1V1dl1al brax erx alld sple11d1d presence of lllllld, u11r1xalled 111 tl1e l11storx of the xx orld s catastrophes hax e bee11 reported O11 the part of tl1e l1Cl1tCl13.I1tS and fire br10ade The fOllOXK11l0' are so111e of tl1e separate reports xx ll1Cl1 haxe reached 11s llI1SS Lutz a11d hflss Nlorxna Allen xxere S9611 tr1xers1110 Xxltll powerful str1des tl1e txx elxe blocks doxx11 to tl1e 1ll6I'lll'1TX Hoxx ex er, tl1ex '1rr1x ed Just too late, for M1ss Nlabel Hall xx ltll coll11 l110l1 1nd fitt1110 perfectlx had alreadx carr1ed L11c1le Ralston the p'1t1ent q111cLlx and C3SllX Ollt of doors M1ss Frances Loo1111s pl11110ed CllllClslX Ollt of bed xx llell the first alarm xx as sounded a11d tl1o110l1 st1ll dved xx1tl1 sleep r11sl1ed '1ct1xelx 1bo11t tl1e blllld 1110 Clelllallfllllo' flfllllx of ex erx one she LllCOlllltClCCl xxl1'1t sl1e xx as to do first 1lI1ss Mar1o11 H11ll,xx hen she l1e 1rd the fin bells xx ltll xx onderfnl co111pos11re a11d absence of '101t'1t1o11 closed l1er ex es and turned ox er, xx llllL NI1ss Helell Tr1 bon ster11lx sl1ooed tl1e chsorderlx 1nd UOINX mobs Nl1lU'lIl0' tl1ro110l1 tl1e l1alls llllss PXl111'1 Xanlxex xx as ex e1x xx here It o11ce Xt the t1111e of 0reatest exc1te111e11t 111'111x xx ere C'lllllCCl hx her appe II IIICC 111 S111 Hall, c'1rrx1110 a pa1l of xx ater to po11r llpllll tl1e flames 'llltl br IX tlx xx l11stl1110 1 0ax l1ttle tlllle alloxx1110 tl1e fire 111e11 to fl1rt Xxltll her, thus 0'lXlll0' tl1e111 a personal 111terest 111 tl1e q11ell1110 of tl1e co11fl'10r1t1o11 M1ss E111d X 111 Xlst111e shoxxed LNlClLl1CL of 11er fi11efeel1110 and '1ppre c11t1o11 of tl1e s1t11'1t1o11 hx l1ax1110 x lOlL11t l1x ster1cs l'll1Sl1ll10' 111to tl1e hall as soon 1s sl1e xxas f1xx'1re of tl1e d'1110er, BIIQS Florence Els xx1tl1 adnnrable presence of llllllfl shouted, 'NIx 0osl1, L1dsl Tl1e place 18 O11 flre' M1ss 'xlarx NIcF11l111d saxed 111111x hxes, lt 18 sald bx co11str11ct1110 a rope of sl1eets xx1tl1 tl1e 'lNS1St'1llCe of xx lllCll, those l1x 1110' O11 first floor 0a111ed tl1e 0'I'Ol1l1Cl 111 safetx lXIlbS C'1ther111e Landon obex ed 111str11ct1o11s to tl1e letter and tl1e lllOlllC1lt tl1e lllltjllffllt ' fire 16'lCllC'll llel co11sc1o11sness, sewed '1 blanket and xvrapp1110 lt t10l1t 1bont her, rolled ox er and ox er O11 tl1e floor 1111t1l co11x111ced tl1at all poss1ble fl'11nes xx ere CXUllUlllsllGCl A1155 Beatr1ce Ost1o111 '-1ct1110 1113011 xxhat sl1e dCNC11bCb as an 1ll11111111at 1110 111sp1rat1o11 I'llSll6Cl to tl1e pmno and crashed out Bloxx tl1e Smoke kxxax, 11ever l6'1X1ll0' l1er post, ex 611 xx llell tl1e fire 111 ACl3.1llS ra0ed fiercest Tl1e last report FCCCIX ed IN of the almost s11perl111111a11 braxerx of M1ss Edna Slllltll xx l1o fqltllflll to 111str11ct1o11s ran to tl1e door of 315 '111d l1ax1110 knocked OIICE a11d rece1x ed no '111sxx er opened tl1e door and requested tl occupant to 0et Ollt XIISD bnnth l1as as xet l10t bee11 'accounted for 26 3 6 V Q 7 . - 1 6 b 1 . 1 1 A 1 a J b 3 f ' ' .
