So lies your window-world- Fourfold creation, for the opening years Have added each its portion to the broadening view. View to the East! Sunrise that lights with bronze The bar of leaves across your window space- The Vine o' the Leal, that, weakening, still would strive To hold you with her dying golds and greens. Beyond-the beckoning gate, Forbidden passage from this strange, new world. View to the East! ' Sunrise, that lights with gold your window's vista, Brings promise for the life you're pledged to live. View to the South! Another year has brought you to the court. The warmth of Southern Sun has touched this scene, And brought into the bloom its promised meaning. New friendships realized, The intimacies of your college days- View to the South! Sunlight, that fuses life and these in one. View to the North! The tops of trees that shine alike at rise and set of sun, Betoken high ideals, Far off, and yet outlined so clear You say, they must be there for her Who does not fear to climb. View to the North! New pledges made. Will time bring their fulfillment? The last-your Sunset View! How you would hold its beauties! But such glory fades. Night comes too soon, And you must haste to live your share of life. So while you long to stay and dream, You long to see the world not darkly through a glass. The beauty of the sunlit tree tops passes 17 'L ,-.- yi' TT. . 51:- , , .- 7-1,ti,..7' fy- ,, Q F if ' L A V4 v Jg:,j,.. N-Mg.-T:l.MV:gighT:'v-V-:...fT-f 13 11 ' e--e----eyed-' Rme. Into strength, and that 'whereof the bough is made. And so ideals seem lost in this, your larger view. But this last forward-looking glance, Does but complete the cycle of your views, Rounding them all into a whole. Sweet mystery of the college prison solved- Friendships secure-ideals expressed in living- Are not these found in this, your Sunset View? East, South, North, West! So lies your window-world. 'Tis a world made yours for the looking. Bigger for the seeing? Large enough for the view? -E. G. lx. CLASS OFFICERS FRANCES Klxmsox . President BEATRICE GSTROM .

So they put on their slit skirts and their budwar caps and, tucking their Ibsens under their arms, they tangoed up to the Cupola for a conclave. And they laid great plans for the morrow. That night they snoozled soundly, as it were, and then, Wlhan in the earlie dawn the yonge sonne His course across the court had half y-runne, Than rose they softly from their downy bedlets And hastened through the halls with dainty treadlets, All clad in flowing white down to their toesesg Bifil that no-thing showed but their noses. And slowly forth, like ghostes in the morn, Each wighte with a chere hir biforn, They wound in deathlike stillness in and oute And up and down the hill and all aboute, Until they reached a spot within the court Thereas the spirits ofttimes do consort. And there with high display and ostentacioun They spread them all about in cercle facioun To plant full fair and fetisly ye Lily Of ye Alley- Which means that they had a big old onion with long sprouts, and a shovel two miles high, and were going to raise particular Ned. Then all at once uprose the long Tommye, And sodeinly gan toast in Germanye, And Bockius with her Frenssh was next to speke And Loomis, talking wisdom then, and eke The noble Hellron with solemnitee The tender seedling covered neatilee, And all the waiting throng about gan wepe, Their tender feelings could no longer kepe, I Vqffv mb-,, A , x..'.

In truth that was a gallant campaignye That sat around, all bent on revelrye' VVith Bailey-girl, a maiden like a toy, That of hir smylyng is ful symple and coyg And Cath, whose beams would melt the coldest 1 e, And Pete! whose singing is ful sweet and niceg Wiith shy maid Klarian, who talks all day, And modest Kliriam, who works alwayg lYith Dessie dear, and Klabel, full of flirting, And Isabel, whose smile is most diverting: And there was Anna, Rosamond's soul-mate, And Gertrude to the height of six foot eight: And Clara calme, and Elizabeth, the fair, And Lela too, and Florence eek was there- lYith all of these, it was a greet displaye. And with the spectatours who stood by waye. That onion grew and sprouted mightilye And bore such fruit as ne'er in truth can dye, For on the banner of the juniors faire It shineth still. and flies aloft in aire.

P., Drffzixoraf ralrii This brilliant constellation played rings around the pole star last November, a spectacular event in the sidereal history of the heavens. While this constellation is clearly confined to the thirteen above mentioned stars, there are some others which must be mentioned in this connection, on account of their proximity. For instance, the acolyte, marked C. R., near the inferna clexfra: this is such a constant and persistent star that she makes herself known and recognized despite the fact that she is one of the smallest in the heavens. Near the border of the constellation we find Xl. S.: this brilliant star was first discovered from the TowerObservatory, linglish ll. Near the ala lafva, strongly attracted to the constellation,we perceive the Peach star, more commonly re- ferred to in the plural form of the name. ,lust outside the constellation, pointing directly toward the fnferna larva, is B. The line between li and the star within the asterism has been marked by late as- tronomers as B-Init. 3-Group consisting of major planet surrounded by moons. This planet is known as Praesidens Sophomore-nsis. The satellite moons are shown in the order of their proximity. These may be seen with the naked eye, and are considered very beautiful by the most fastidious star-gazers. 1,-Due south of the .Yt'l71l-POJ'lIit'C1 rrnlra of constellation Hockiensis is a group co- taining one ofthe largest stars in the heavens, R. H. B. Here, too, we see the Fish star. Although better known as a Day Star, she is plainly visible within this group. 5 and 6-Asterisms five and six are also better known as Day Constellations. 7wThe lucida of this asterism is l.. XY., one of the most brilliant stars we know. The twin stars are E. l.. and -I. KICQ. SVA binary system. 9-Also binary. The Latin Stars. IO-NLIHITJCI' ten, a comet, was shot into this field from the N. VV. The light of this brilliant luminary fills the whole heavens. Anyone who is fond of rapid transit is advised to attach his conveyance to this star. IILIII the northeastern heavens we find an interesting groupcontaining two Sophomore stars, each of which attracts and holds in rapid revolution an upper- class moon. I2-Scattering constellations. B.-L. T., B. T., and P. H., as indicated, are just emerging from the attrac- tion of a planet which has disappeared.

We come in from high school, where our chief joy has been in evading faculty rules, and we are con- fronted with a totally different situation. The students are the mainstay of law and order, and we are numbered among the students. Law and order has perhaps not been our particular hobby. What attitude shall we take? lYe may sink back to the prep level if we choose, look upon all rules and restrictions as erratic con- trivances. make of House Committeea bugbear, and turn the proctors into police- men. We may find a peculiarly subtle joy in poring over lessons on a step-ladder in a narrow closet night after night: we may exercise our wit inventing numberless schemes for doing things as they would better not be done. Or, on the other hand, we may have our fun in a perfectly sensible and straightforward way: we may co- operate with the House Committee by living up to the best we know: we may grow up to the point where we can govern ourselves. This last is the aim for which the .fXssociation stands: its attainment is perfectly possible and is perfectly sure to come. lt is for us girls to determine how soon we shall reach it.

The Juniors, since they Could not defend themselves, allowed the Latins to stay and cultivate the region, but the Germans, who were of incredible swiftness of speech and trained in the use of arms, gave battle and were defeated. This having been done, after peace was declared, the Latins pitched their camp in the territory of the Juniors and remained there for the winter. Among the Latins, by far the noblest and most powerful was Magna Waitona, a chief of great knowledge and industry. Influenced by ambition and the love of Rome, she called the people together and gave an oration concerning things of interest to them. Having done this, she dismissed the multitude. During the winter, Rufus Burlesonius, a youth of great virtue and Culture, led into matrimony a daughter of the Bricii, Lucia Gravio. Such was the wealth of the man, and his influence, that all the chief men of the tribe came together for the affair. At the sametime the Freshmanni joined the forces of the Latins, bringing with them grain and other provisions for a long stay. MEMBERS OF THE TRIBE NIABELLA BLAIRIUS . LENA WILLIAMS .

As the list of suffrage victories grows it becomes increasingly apparent that the woman who would be a useful citizen nowadays must be equipped with an active interest in what is going on around her, and with such knowledge as will enable her to View it with understanding. This is what our Friday afternoons supply. VVhen you have attended the club meetings a few times you decide that politics is one of the most fascinating games you know, and before long you find yourself following the developments in diplomacy and economics with all the zeal of an ardent baseball fan. There is no reason why we who are in college, should close our eyes and ears to everything without. For the same general purpose there was organized this winter a debating society under the auspices of the English department. Such topics as the lvlexican situa- tion, the Panama Canal tolls question, and the immigration problem have furnished it with material. 49 ri-1 - 1-Q. - .,.!,.f, vw, .. 1- .

The Qtbletit Zlssutiatinn The Athletic Association, of which every student in the Physical Department is a member, has been a live organization this year, as always. From the hockey of the fall to the tennis of spring days, the sports have gone off with an enthusiasm that augurs well. At the beginning of the season a stirring athletic rally was held in the gymnasium, at which Kliss Lawson, Beth Newman, Frances Kladison, Bea- trice Ostrom, Frances Bockius, Louise Graham, Ruth Burleson, Helen Douglas, and Kathryn Kladdock were among the speakers. A Klock Athletic Xleet, held in January under the auspices of the Association, netted a small sum to be used in improvements in gymnasium apparatus and on the tennis courts. Basketball spirit waxed high during the winter: indoor baseball was indulged in spasmodically, but with such zeal that even the faculty caught the spirit and organized an oppos- ing team. Straight, clean sportsmanship, and a fine enthusiasm characterize everything which the Association docs. XIl'1XIBliRS OI THE COUNCIL BETH XEwx1.xN .

In spite of weather, also, the Field Day reception was held in the gymnasium that afternoon at five olclock, when, following a short talk by President Gulliver, numerals and Senior R's,' were presented by the president of the Ath- letic Association, Beth Newman. The annual banquet went off in the evening with all the usual festivity, Cheers and songs and speech-making, although with no gloriously triumphant champions to grace the board. On Monday, at length, the great game was played. Sophomore met Freshman on a hotly Contested field, IQI6 finally winning with a score of 5 to 3-and now the hockey cup wears a great green bow. 55 :mg . -. ., 4 :Ht Y V: V A p lf- ---A f .73-5 .Rh ,Y K i ,V .A Nw ,.

Another instance of its value Was observed in the experiment held on Saturday evening, October 4, 1913. The upper classmen, with the Tolo Council in the foreground, were ranged in for- midable rows on the platform of the gymnasium. The children were led in by able attendants, and seated in small circles on the floor. At the beginning of the roll call, certain of the little ones were inclined to be noisy, and to display a shocking spirit of irreverence, but this attitude was instantly checked by the upper classmen, who expressed their disapproval by rapping sharply on the floor with wands, and by the attendants, who in certain cases were obliged to administer severe reproofs. Bliss Frances Kladison, who presided over the meeting, now began the instruc- tion, which took the form of very helpful object lessons. In planning these, the greatest attention had been paid to the needs of the individual child. For example, three little girls who had had great difficulty in rememberfng to turn out their lights-a service their nurses had always performed for them previous to their arrival at Rockford-were placed at a distance from a row of candles, which they were required to extinguish before the ringing of a bell was completed. Another valuable exercise consisted in donning various garments within a given time. The effect upon the children was singularly beneficial. Certain of them, who had heretofore invariably preceded faculty through doors, now made it a rule to hold the door of Adams Hall open, waiting. for sophomores, and others, who had been known to sit at ease in the only chair in the presence of the senior president, were, for a while at least, observed to rise with alacritv at the presence of Dondee. 60 ,. -, .,.., TX f 1 I '- 'i:'i M .

FL. . - gs, N V4 1 J A Ululu Zlnitiatiun The new girls were initiated on Satur- day, October 25g that is, they initiated themselves by entertaining the old girls. The two features of the evening were a minstrel and a vaudeville show. The minstrels rendered some fine selections, among them a song to the Glee Club girls, to the tune of Hlllinoisf, lThat's our favorite tune here-we used to sing it in chapel every day.j CHORUS VVhen the glee club sings in chapel Suchanoisel suchanoisel VVhen the glee club sings in chapel Suchanoiselll' The colored brethren then held a prayer meeting and everything went well except the collection. Although the corn popper was passed, it gleaned only one cent and a button. The Reverend Stires then ofliciated at the wedding of lyfissus Henrietta Kappel and Blister Fern Briggs. lNfIister Henrietta lVledlar was middle man, but there was nothing middling about him, and lyfister Patty, although he had an accident and fell on the floor, did his part up pat. Everyone agreed that what- ever else was lacking, there was no lack of local color Qexcept on the end of Patty's nose, where it had been dislocalizedj. The second feature was the vaudeville. An original dance was given, accom- panied by the song, You made me love you. Jean Nelson and Helen Douglas did the high-leg fling. A living photograph album was then shown, containing pictures of the F. Reshman family from grandma to the baby. And then, of course, we danced. 61 4 l - KN 1 .1 KF-' .

'A Ulbe winter Rrumenahe The winter promenade, which took place on December the sixth, followed the custom set for several years past in being a Christmas party. Poinsettias and smilax were used to decorate the gymnasium, and the holiday colors were repeated in the gymnasium annex by the red-shaded lights and the gay Indian rugs. The punch, the orchestra, the supper, which was served on the faculty porch, and the men were all of the traditional quality demanded on such occasions. The distinguishing features of the affair were the new trellis ceiling, bought by Tolo for the occasion and intended to serve a long and useful career, and the dancing, which, due to certain unexpected concessions on the part of the faculty, was of a mildly revolutionary type. With their programs, those who attended preserve copies of the famous Six Inch Edict. Partly, perhaps, because of the excitement generated by these two innovations, the affair was a decided success. The members of the reception line were: PRESIDENT GULLIVER Miss FLORENCE LAWSON MR. AND MRs. W. W. BENNETT Miss ELIZABETH BURLESON REV. AND MRS. JOHN GORDON Miss FRANCES MADISON MR. AND MRS. R. K.

It was, as you know, the evemng of January seventeenth, when we mock-met. For an event of such a revolutionary character, it was unreasonably orderlyg may we congratulate ourselves upon a self-control born of chapel talks and fire drills, or must we bow acknowledgment to the blue-badged offishuls, who so fearlessly suppressed sedition and laid out recalcitrant candidates? The first entry was the Standing Broad Grin. It is beyond the measure of our poor skill to soar on the subject of the quality of a smile. Let mention be made only of the expansion of countenance which Gladys Baldwin displayed. The mu- sically inclined entercd the next contest, that of the Standing High Jump. We hold it little to the credit of the management that an offishul won. This feeling, it is true, may be purely the result of a youthful prejudice, deeply fixed by diligent application to coupon and puzzle advertisements, that ofhcials should be excluded from piano contests. XVe shall long remember the length of Helen Robinson's foot from her original use of it in the Twelve-Yard Dash. Two relay teams led by Captains Newman and VVhite, sent the spuds flying around the room. Shades of St. Patrick! Time demands that we pass over in silence the Hurdle Race and Tumblers' Contest, and hurries us on to the Chariot Race. Sophomores and Seniors, represented by a galvanized chariot in the one case and a substantial vehicle from the dining room in the other, skidded madly about the arena. VVhile the steeds and driver of the former equipage recovered them- selves after their victory, the Freshmen and Juniors pitted two imported beasts against one another. That upon which the Freshmen staked their hopes was a Swedish charger, sure-footed if wall-eyed, the Juniors'confidence rested in an ele- phant I species, bathtoweliensis spongus, imported at very great expense, on display for positively one evening onlyg don't fail to give the little ones a delightful and instructive treatj. This noble animal was escorted to a brilliant triumph by one long-legged driver and a retinue of two nicely assorted slaves. Then, without any interval whatsoever for rest and refreslnnent, he tangoed his way to a victory none the less real because it was not won by speed.

The washington arty The VVashington Party is always the same, which is doubtless one reason why we enjoy it so. Not even the most revolutionary wishes for any novelties in this one functiong it is like a fairy tale which has only one version. Every year there is the preliminary delight of donning the cheese cloth panniers and net lichus, or the sateen knickerbockers and cretonne waistcoats which have been bundled away on the top shelf in the cupboard all winter, not to mention the pleasure of exercising one's finest discrimination in the placing of patches. Then comes the assemblage in John Barnes reception hall, where there is much stir of voluminous skirts on the part of the ladies and tlourishing of frills on the part of the gentlemen. while over the room floats the faint odor of talcum powder. Soon follows the descent into the candle-lit dining room. where always we ex- claim over the patriotic decorations and emphatically declare against the sentiment once so erroneously popularized by Haresfoot. that music is undesirable with one's meals. Vertain dishes are for Rockford as closely associated with Washington's Birthday as turkey with Christmas or pumpkin pie with Thanksgiving. Pine- apple salad and ice cream in flower molds have the symbolism for us which cherries carry for the rest of the country. livery year the ladies partake cautiously of these hallowed delicacies, lest they displace the rouge so effectively applied after the five- minute bell rang: the gentlemen. we regret to say. dispose of inelegantly large meals, exulting the while in the most inconsiderate fashion. Then comes the grand march in the gymnasium. followed by the dancing of the minuet. The dancers this year were Beatrice Ustrom. t'atherine Landon, Isabel Shukert. lilizabeth Burleson, t'laire Patterson, Lucy Whitsel. Mildred Dellicker, Mabel Sager, Helen Douglas. Dorothy liietbrock, Marie tileasman, Harriet Moore, Ruth Thomas. lfrances llockius, listher Waite and Beth Newman. To make the transition from the minuet to the dancing of the evening less abrupt. an Argentine tango was this year inserted. which showed the curious similarity between the old and the new dances. despite thc vertical tendency of the former and the horizontal effect ofthe latter. Recovering from this innovation. the evening ended. as usual in a suffocating 25 climax of flash lights and talcinn powder. which only subsided long after tardy. .A L , ,nw ' fi , M ! f 'Ss l . 1 ', 5 N I ffyj ' s r N ,qi E 1 N if f. l' - , - 'J if ' ' LQ 1- 't L P r , .last A.,-,A 5 LIT ' Y .751 :h--, :D OS ii Iii- 1. 3 V y,:x Vl 1 NW xr J 191.5 Pvc, 7115132 Sprung ilBrumenaiJe The Sprlng promenade xx aS lIeld on the evemng Of Apr1l elghteenth The deco I'8t1OI1 LOIHI1llt'CC6llZ:1Cl been hlled wlth an unwonted InSp1Iat1on, whlch led to maltmg the lunctlon a lapaneSe al3faIr Both gx nInas1um and annex were hlled wlth moss aIId cherrx blossoms, xx hlle qualnt lapanese Shades had been devlsed for the llghts The annex In xx l11Cl1 the Iecept1On xx as held, was furmshed w1th wIcker chalrs and mattmg rugs xerx Ll1L1IfIllI1Q' apanese ma1denS presxdrng Over the punch gave xx hat xxe trust xx as an unmxstalxablx OI1CIltZ1lIOL1Cl'1 to the whole The damty effect xx as especlallx refxeslnng on the xx arm Sprmg evenmg SuppeI xx as as usual Serxed OII the facultv porch Here, by the maglc known onlx to Burbanlxs and to decorators, rose vmes had been tralned to grow trans formmv that h1ghlx ut1l1tar1an Spot Into a rose garden AppetItes, however were recorded aS bemg no less than On Othel OCCHSIOHQ xvhen the place had masqueraded as an Itallall restaurant, or under even less aeSthetIc gu1se Those rece1x mg xx ere PRESIDENT GULLIVFR lXTIbS VVINIFRED G CROWELL ATRb SEELEY PERRX MISS l'RIxNcES lXl:ADISON REV NIR IND XTRS IOHN GORDON XIISS CIIHERINE LANDON NIR AND NTRS C S BR INTINGHAM lXTIbS TXIARIE FISH NIRS LAURA GR XNT SHORT MISS HELEN CLARK jfresbman Zlnfurmal I INTRODUCTION Date hlalch 14 DISCUSSION Table Paltxes I Very numerous 2 l avender prevaI1Ing Decorauons I XMISKCTIEL and SmIlaX 2 N erv fetchmg pIett1eSt partx of the year Guests I hladmon and Belolt depopulated Other SundrIes 1 Programs a Purple Suede 2 Punch cz lXlade accordmg to the usual rece1pt ill For comments See ean 3 hluslc cz Excellent Ill CONCLUSION A IO 30 bell B IO 35 bell C IO 45 bell good byes 60 fs ,M rx ,, ' 1 I -- . lull ,I ig 71 f iv, .V v .

Courtiers and entertainers sit in the grass at herfeetgthe sun- light flickers over all. Then suddenly from somewhere among the trees sounds a strain of glad music.

Nfusic sounds and dancers come tripping to tell the story of spring to the Queen in the Cycle of the Crocus Flower -the hazy autumn days, when the Crocus goes to sleep in its brown cloak, the sparkling winter, with snow and frost, the blustering March winds and thundering April showers all leave their fairy gifts to the growing life, until one May day it awakes in beauty to dance with the sunlight on the meadows.

Then with a quick movement the clowns huri long purple and white streamers into the crowd, enmeshing them in the college colors and drawing them to the foot of the throne where they pay homage to her highness. The sun is sinking low oyer Rock River as merry groups gather on the west Campus to banquet under the oaks. .Xml soon they must draw away. for twilight is upon them, bringing a brilliant ball in honor of the queen. Lights appear in the house: music floats alluringly across the Court from the gymnasium. The dance is on, antl the queen sits happy in the joy of those about her.

'J L C.:--..sf Senior Qliree ap In the early dawn, one misty May morning, we tumbled out of bed as noiselessly as we knew how, and donned our white clothes sleepily, stumbling over chairs and knocking books onto the floor in our erlorts to be quiet: then one by one we stole through the halls, puzzling our minds as to why floors always creak and doors always slam with such extraordinary intensity on Tree Day mornings, when Juniors and Freshmen should slumber soundly, until at length all our company had gathered in Kliddle and the entire building was well aroused. Quiet on such a morning is a thing that R. C. has neyer known. And then we formed by twos. the black-robed Seniors leading. and made our way across the campus quayering college songs in uncertain measure. till we reached the sapling youngster in whose honor our efforts were exerted, The Seniors left us standing at what might be called a suitable distance and circled about the sacred spot. Klaud Cayanagli. l.ucy Brearley and .Xntoinette Youngs in turn spoke a few words in languages known and unknown.

C - Zuniur Zihp ap Not many weeks after Tree Day the Juniors and Freshmen celebrated in similar fashion, rising betimes and assembling in Middle to make ready for the planting of the ivy. The older girls, crowned with green, and the long line of their sister class, moved slowly out into the sunshine of the morning and around to the north side of the building singing as they Went. Here the Juniors planted their ivy, according to the time honored custom, which although old in form, holds a new and personal meaning for each class. Roberta Ransom placed it in the ground, and Frances hladison, the class president, interpreted the deeper significance ofthe day in a short address. A toast was then drunk to the health ofthe vine, and Beatrice Ostrom read The Tradition of the Ivy. The procession retraced its course with all dignity in spite of the Sophomore's unseemly behavior on the side. The Juniors were kodaked, and feasted at break- fast, and later marched into chapel, as is customary. 77 A A I - 1 ,gs 1 U -, 7' fl ' 1 'Waf , -'i A Q2 -,Q - -I 'fag 13, 'I' Q 'VA ' K t -1-f , I if bb, f 1 2 1 J ee-'e A gmc.

Q... p Qlilass EBay THE TRANSFER OF THE CAP AND GOWN Tuesday morning, June I7, was a morning of Vivid contrasts in coloring. The sun, shining so brightly, intensified the green of the grass and trees and the black of the tree-trunks. At nine-thirty, from the western side of the college, came a procession led by the Sophomores, whose white dresses were almost dazzling against the blackness of the Seniors, gowns at the end of the line. ln the natural amphitheatre in front of the college the procession spread into a large crescent, with the Seniors in front. The time-honored ceremony of the transfer of the cap and gown was unusually impressive in this striking setting. Enid Beaty, the Senior president, bestowed the Senior vestments upon the Juniors in the person of Frances Madison, their president. The girls then drew to one side to watch the Eastern Pageant. A DREAM OUT OF THE EAST The voice of Spring is calling, Afar her voice is calling, She comes! She comes! Singing across the mountains, Like a queen in her beauty she treads ofer the grasses And she touches the flowers and leaves as she passes. f'Ah, soon the nightingale will sing The rose beside, Then from our throng, ,mid joyous song Will go the bride. The Sultan's palace waits for her, xThe chosen one. 33 There is none more blest than Zuleika Beneath the sun. The voice of spring is calling. .Xfar her voice is calling, She eomesl She comesl Singing across the mountains. Heralded by sweet music, preceded by dancers clad in the seven colors of the rainbow, came the Queen of Beauty, Zuleika, borne in her palanquin, on the shoul- ders of four black slaves. .Xcross the green ofthe campus she looked out upon the pageant designed for her glorihcation. Lightly, oh lightly, we bear her along: She sways like a llower in the wind of our song: She skims like a bird on the foam ofa stream, Uaily, ah gaily, we glide and we sing: We bear her along like a pearl in a ring. 'L 4. 4. St 4. 4: .Xbove, against the cloudless sky, the college banner rose slowly to its place above the cupola and it was welcomed by the Toast to Rockford Collegef' sung by the whole company. Tllli TICXXIS 'l'Ol'RX.fXNllCXT Immediately following the Class Day exercises, the spectators were the guests of the .Xthletic .Xssociation at a lawn fete about the tennis courts, where the hnals for the class-chainpionship were played off. The Seniors, Alma Yankey and Sara Pollock, were pitted against the Freshmen, Florence l.ineoln and Stella Pinko. lt was good tennis weather, the crowd was enthusiastic and sympathetic, and the con- testants played up to the spirit ofthe occasion. The lfreshmen, unused to so many spectators, lost their confidence in the first set, the Seniors winning with a score of 6-I. But the Fresh- men rallied beautifully and the Seniors won the second set with difliculty, the score being 6-4.

By the way, you will find the mattress an admirable place for hiding your money. Arrange all the fur- niture permanently before your roommate comes. Now is the time to impress her with your strength of character. In making out your program, do not fail to tell hliss Nye that you hate hfath, and so prevent all possible misunderstanding. It is now time for lunch. Be sure to wait for someone to come for you, and always take your door-key and your purse to the dining room with you. In going through a door, bear in mind that beautiful motto, 'LStop, Look, Listenff It is best to avoid President Gulliver's table the first night. At table, freshmen are allowed to speak at intervals of ten minutes, since they should do their best to make the faculty feel at ease. In regard to your attitude toward the old girls, a trustful spirit is appreciated by them, since it is the only time that anyone will believe all they say. If you want information about anything, they will be only too happy to give it to you. They are all well posted on the past history of the school. It will help to make the meal more delightful, if you comment exhaustively on the food. Be sure to ask where the fire-escape is before you go to bed, and lock your door upon retiring. It's safer.

A piece of beefsteak is a polygon which cannot be described and to which no one is equal. A pancake is a circular plane figure which has no altitude. The blessing is formed of interesting chords. POSTULATES AND PROPOSITIONS: An egg is a variable approaching a limit. The warmth ofa piece of toast varies inversely as the distance from the kitchen. If at a given time two members ofthe faculty and a student meet at a common point, this point being the door ofthe dining room, an intersection will take place and the student will enter. The conversation of any two students at a table is greater than that ofthe head. Two tables having the same maid and unequal appetites are unequal. Two tables having the same maid and equal appetites form a proposition. A bee line may be made from any one table to any other. If X equals the appetite of a table And the line H A S T li intersect X, Then X will not be satisfied. Any number of salads at a lunch table are together less than one square meal. fDEDIC.XTED TO Nliss W.xvl-- If ll plus flowers be equal to a table party any week night, And if II alone, however often produced is not equal to a table party, Then chairs turned up equals a table party week ends.

If X plus the faculty equals the dining room, Then X minus the faculty is equal to anything. Sphagetti is determined by any three points not in a straight line. The points of fork are in a straight line. therefore sphagetti and a fork cannot coincide. Peanuts for lunch is the limit which the circumscribed members of a table ap- proach, when their appetites are increased indefinitely. Q4 .5 N - fs r A... .ri .

Opus I7 Landon Introduction Romanza Scherzo Symphony No. 21 ........ C. F. Landon Opus 17. A hflajor Born Chicago, IQO6 ' Although the gifted composer has not yet completed this symphony, she has spent her time upon it constantly since 1910, so that the Hrst three movements are now ready for performance. She is said to have received the inspiration for the work from the beauties of the Hudson. Her friends have followed with interest the progress of the masterpiece, the first presentation of which took place March 3, IQI4. The unfinished finale is said to be written in A-flat and scored largely for kettledrums. The I7lZ'l'OdZlCfiOlZ, which is episodic, is very brief but effective. It is written prffto ajfezfuoso fl-2 timej. It is orchestrated for first and second violins with muted strings while from time to time a subtle phrase is repeated by the snare. drums. In the Ronzanza, which follows immediately, accelerando paffionata, the basses are prominent with an ever increasing warmth of tone, to which, after several introductory measures, the contra bassoon is heard in reply. The material here is taken largely from the folk melody of HSteamboat Bill and developed into a long and sweetly sustained theme. It is an instance of the composeras genius that the romavzza is composed wholly of notes. The Scherw, after a few tentative introductory measures on the part of the basses, enters vigorously upon the main theme Cfull orchestral. This development is interrupted sinisterly by the percussions, in several remote, but incisive and questioning chords. After a thorough Working over of the subject in the basses the glofkevzfpiel is heard, faintly as from a distance, ushering in the orthodox Re- capitulation, and the movement is concluded by a brilliant resumption of the origi- nal passionate material. Doctor von Glibgab says of the work, The tonal beauties are as convincing as they areinspiring. It was a relief in these days of Lprogramme, music to encounter a composition which, I may venture to say, seems unconnected with any reality, and yet which is instinct with signifi- cance. I feel it in no wise rash to assert that behind this work there lies a pro- found, if hidden, meaning. 1o5 1 7' .,..-...- .
