We thank. God for the work of this beloved man who made possible the building of such an institution as ours: one that stands for the advancement of Christian education as well as for iiigll standards in scholarship. We revere his name; and we rejoice in the thought that these visible memorials of his name and influence daily before the eyes of our students may so inform tluir minds and hearts tliat he will not only be held in honor among those who have come under the infiueiice of Shorter s ideals and teaching, but also perpetuated and loved among the people throughout our Southland. We are grateful for all those both great and small who have given cheerfully of their time and substance to carry on this great work, and for all those, whether living or dead, who have befriended the college with gifts, labors, prayers, or good-will; even though their names are not linked with memorials, they, too, share the glories and rewards of a work well done. With all beautiful memories of our college life we, the Senior Class of nineteen-hundred and fourteen, would, as we leave our Alma Mater, pledge our steadfast love and loyalty. We would invoke Heaven ' s blessing upon our beloved president who has been so nobly and faithfully true to the lofti- est aims in his achievement here; upon the members of our board of trustees who have been so faithful through many years to uphold and to further to the best of tlieir ability the interests of Shorter in every advantageous way; upon the members of the faculty, and all co-workers and benefactors who have expended their best energies, and sympathies for the upbuilding of our college. Reward thou them, O Lord, for all that they have done, out of Thy treasure which fadeth not, eternal in the heavens. Withhold not Thy hand, but raise up other helpers to enlarge and endow that which we have builded in Thy name, and make us faithful in administering the trust committed to us. C. M.

Great plans have been made and real accoinijlishments are in tlie minds of enthnsiastic Alumnae. Shorter Commencement of 1913 was a brilliant one. A part of each day was given to the Alumnae and many delightful reunions were enjoyed. Among the visiting Alumnae were: Mrs. Katharine Hopkins Chap- man, ' 87, of Selma, Ala.; Mrs. Sam Gentry, ' 92, of Gadsden, Ala.; Mrs. Charles Davidson and Mrs. Henry Weatherbv. of Anniston, Ala., by whom was launc hed a movement to raise funds by contributions for a memorial to be placed over the grave of our former beloved president. Dr. L. R. Gwaltney; Mrs. J. C. Harris, ' 84, is chairman of the committee to collect this fund. About one hundred and twenty-five guests, including Alumnae, the gradua- ting class and the Faculty of Shorter, attended the annual Alumnae banquet held in the college dining-room May the twenty-seventh, 1913. Talks were made by several Alumnae and by Dr. Y n Hoose, who told us enthusiastically of the progress of Greater Shorter. A vision of Shorter ' s greatness lives in the mind of every one of her daugh- ter.s. At present plans to bring non-resident Alumnae more closely in touch with their Alma Mater are being made, and we hope soon to form branch associations in many of our leading cities. The plans are made for a building tlint will contain halls for the two so- cieties, Polymnian and Eunomian and a central portion for former students. By the efforts of the student-body, the Faculty and the Alumnae, the amount subscribed has already exceeded three thousand dollars. WTiat will the Alumnae do to complete this fund? Now. the Alma Mater needs her daughters help as she has never needed it before ! 23 Faculty AZOR WARNER Va.v HOOSE,, LL.I)., I ' leakiciit JOHN WILLIAM GAIXES, M.A., Dean: I- roj esuor of Matln ' tnftlirs LUTHER RICE HOGAX, -MA.

Those under this sifrn are of happy dispositions and fond of the jiood things of life. They ha e keen intellectual powers; some of the world ' s thinkers having come from this sign. These people are apt and original in conversation and become excellent linguists. They also possess possibilities of high attainment in music and any effort exerted along this line will lie richly rewarded. Be- ing fond of children these people can liecoine successful teachers. The women of this sign are good managers, especially qualified to man- age homes. They are most congenial with people of Libra. Their striking faidts are self-distrust, pride and a tendency toward despondency and worry. As children they are proud, dictatorial and fond of imitative games. Their most propitious months are .Septemlier and October, and Wednes- day is their day of greatest luck. K COBBIE MAE DEAN Bachelor of Arts Libra October 17 Libra ))ei)))Ie have the happiest na- tures on earth; they are unselfish and seem to l)e always thinkiiifi ' of others, especially if they are in troul)le. They have an unusual knack for interpret- ing and imitating the acts of others. They are generous and so honest and upright that they never suspect any evil in others. Libra people are the best of leaders, but are imsuccessful in carrying out the plans of others. They care little for details in mon- ey matters and are often extravagant. While a Libra person should never enter marriage with one from Pisces or Virgo, a union witli . quarius is certain to lie happy. They are inclined to be too egotis- tical and worldly-minded. These children possess natural wit and in- ventiveness; they are either very good or very l)ad. January and Fel)ruary are their luckv months. GUSSIE DUPREE Hdchfliir of Arts Cai ' hkohx January 7 (. ' apricorn people have deep iiiimls and when even fairly educated have a fi ' reat desire for further knowledge; they are l)road-niinded, liberal and capable of great accomplishments. As entertainers they have few equals; they are nuignetic and draw people to them without any effor t on their part. Being cool-headed they rarely act on impulse. They form few Init often the most firm friend- ships. These ]ieople are apt to be misunderstood on account of their varying moods; they are either exuber- ant or depressetl. Capricorn women are most sensible about the management of homes and make ideal housewives. They should .select their life-mate from either Tau- rus or I.ilira, for with these they are most congenial. Their most noticeable faults are sensitiveness and self-esteem. As chil- dren they are precocious. For them . ugust and Septeml)er sire most propitious months and Wed- iiesdav the nio t fortunate dav. 36 MOSEI.LE KU15AXKS Bachelor if Arts LiBiiA October 19 Justice, strengtli mikI liberty are the guiding- influences in the lives of these people. Libra people have ca- l acity for doing great things, their minds are largely original in their operations but they must do their work in their own way. By means of their deeply intuitive perceptions they are enabled to read the deejiest consciousness of their associates. They are fond of the study of art and lit- erature. Music also is a powerful agent for good to the Libra nature. Their greatest weakness is to be- come nervous and excited over af- fairs of absolutely no consequence. The union of Libra and Sagittarius people is certain to be congenial. These little ones prefer to have their own way. .Vugust and December are tlie most successful months and Friday is the liappiest day. V 37 V V LILY NUXNALLY Bachehir of Arts PlSlES JIarch IT Tliese people are usually of low stature with strong, well-built bodies. Pisces ])eople have many good traits; they have an intense desire for all knowledge and, jiossessing a reten- tive mind, they liecome veritable wallving encyclopaedias. They are thoroughly honest, dependable and sensible, most modest too, for one never hears them boast of their ac- complishments. They conscientiously bear all responsibilities and thus fre- quently occupy positions of great im- portance and trust; especially are they gifted in money matters. Pisces women are exceedingly fond of home and its environments. Their relations whether marital or other- wise will lie most successful with per- sons under Capricorn. Their chief faults are over-anxiety and worry. Pisces little ones have strong wills and early show their hon- esty in their play. May and June are their most lucky months and Saturday is their favorite dav. -m KI.r .AHF.TH PHILLIPS Bachelor of Arts CaI ' IUCUIIK January 27 This heitifi tlie head sign, the intel- lectual side of the nature is emiiha- sized. Capricorn people enjoy hard study and research work. Whatever pursuit they undertake they ohtain excellence therein by a sturdy deter- mination rather than through origi- nality. Tliey are patient, gentle and careful of details, thus they make the best of teachers. Even the most subtle flattery is wasted on these peo- ple. Capricorn women are better man- agers than men; nor do they especial- ly care for the companionship of the opposite sex. However, they should select their worse half from Tau- rus or Virgo. The natural faults of this sign art self-love and satisfacti(m with pi ' es- ent deeds. Capricorn children are often haughty and self-willed and require exemplary conduct of their elders. August and September are their favorite months and Wednesday is their luckv dav. 39 EVA PHILLIPS Bachelor of Arts C-M ' IIICOIIX January 20 These people are thinkers and rea- soners and aspire to the leadership of whatever enterprise they may he con- nected with. Their fixity of purpose iind contagions activity usually bring tlieni the success they desire. They are extremely industrious, but often undertake so many different things that they are unable to do any of them well; it is a tendency of Capri- corn people to be Jack at all trades and unless they concentrate their ef- forts they will l)e master of none. They have a great desire for wealth and find it hard to economize in small matters. The women of this sign prefer Prominence to love, and power above all else. They should marry either those from I.ilira or Taurus. Their worst faults are selfishness and lack of concentration. These children reflect their sur- roundings and for this reason should associate with only refined influences. Their lucky months are August and Septeml)er and Wednesday is their fa ()red dav. 40 MAUDE I ' ICKETT Bachelor of Arts Pisces February 25 These people have full faces, dreamy eyes and a retiring demean- or. They have fine minds either for literary or business pursuits, but so undervalue themselves that their true worth is rarely known. They are sensible, careful and honest. They possess a strong love nature and are apt to defend their friends whetlier right or wrong. The women of this sign l)ecome ideal wives and display excellent taste in the manage- ment of their homes. Their life mates should by all means be chosen from under the sign of Capricorn. Their chief faults are fretfulness and desjxmdency ; they are given to gltwrny forebodings and at times be- come morbidly depressed. They shoidd try to cultivate push and en- thusiasm. jVs children they are precocious and often nervous and irritable. Their lucky months are May and .Tune, and Saturday is their fortunate day. 41 MADELINE TROTTER fiftchclor of Atts Pisces Fel)r iary l!l These ]ieople are of pleasing ap- pearance and of retiring demeanor. To accumulate sufficient wealth to make them independent is their most intense desire. Witli tlieir great orig- inality and capacity for ] nowledge, these people have lioundless possi- liilities. They are especially interest- ed in scientific and jihilosophical sul jects. Nevertheless, history attracts them greatly. Pisces people are sen- silile; aljsohitely trustworthy. and possess strict sense of honor and fi- delity. The women of this sign are skilled as liome-makers and they find asso- ciati ms with Capricorn people far more desirable than any other. Placidity and cahnness are parts of the Pisces nature and these char- acteristics should l)e cultivated by overcoming their greatest faults, wor- ry and anxiety. As chil lren one miglit lietter lireak their neck than attem|)t to break tlieir Hill. For Pisces people May and June are favorable months and they prefer Saturday to anv other dav.

They are fearless and courageous, witli strong intuition, and reniarkalile insight. They hoth inspire and entertain the most loyal love, ] are, trusting and iihundant. They long remember an act of kindness and are ever grateful to those who have bestowed courtesies. It is very important for them to overcome the flaws in their character, for then inuueasurable happiness will follow. Vaulting ambition is a most pronounced defect. They must learn that their intuitions nuist not be fol- lowed blindly. -Marriage with people from Sagit- tarius or . ries is quite likely to prove h!ip| v. These children require a strong hand to guard them from evils and vices to wliich their nature are prone. January and October are their most favorable months. Sunday is their most pleasant day. HETTIE BAUTO.V Dijihima ill I ' iiino Taiiiis May 18 This sign bestows upon its pro- teges a wealth of sterling attributes. These people are of robust appear- ance, with full faces and broad shoulders. Tlieir strung minds are unusually receptive and they easily assimilate the thoughts of others. These people have high standards of duty and never shirk anything be- cause it requires worli, and for this reason they should be successful in heavv literary or uuisical courses, Tliey have many friends, are very magnetic, and seldom talkative. These jieople are most headstrong. They demand their own way and op- ])i)sition or resistance arouses them to outbursts of anger, hence self-con- trol should be the unwavering aim of Taurus people. Tlie happiest marriage for one born under Taurus will lie with a Capri- corn person. Parents of Taurus children should not forget that to spare the rod will spoil the child. May and ,Tuly are the best months for Taurus people. Friday is the best dav. 44 MARCiL ' KHITH HRKWKK Cerlifirtite In I ' iiiiiit A HIES April 10 This is the favored sign of the Zo- diac. These people are usually of low stature with brilliant eyes, good complexion and broad shoulders. They are impatient of criticism and advice. Women of this sign make the best of hdusekeepei-s; to he the happiest in life they should occupy this position for persons born either under their own sign or Sagittarius. Aries people liave keen wit and easily become the leaders in social activities. Their ar- tistic tastes make them great lovers of music and harmony. They make many friends, but rarely love hut few. Often they become ])eacemakers. The greatest faults of . ries people are jealousy, anger and extravagance. Children of this sign should have | lenty of nourishment and sleep. .Tune and .Tuly are their lucky months and Tuesday is their favorite (lay. 45 KATHARINE RlTLEDCl ' .

They are often of a inunette type with lu ' oad and open countenance. Their self-control is admirable and they are among the most kind-hearted people in the world. Their sympathy leads to deeds that bring comfort and relief to the distressed. These peo- ple usually display original and artis- tic ta.stes, and are fond of luxurious surroundings. Self-esteem is highly developed in these people and they have an in- tense desire for praise and flattery. In marriage Scorpio and Virgo peo- ple make happy and prosperous mates. . s children they are quite dom- ineering but can be conquered through gentleness and firmness. January and July are their fortu- nate months. Preference is given to Tuesdav as their best dav. ANNE GOETCHIUS Diploma in Art Aui Alius February 2 Tlice people are well-formed and liandsoiiie, with a general appearance of vigor and strength. A noble, pro- gressive nature and a receptive mind, inclining to the fine arts are char- acteristics of this sign. These people are clear reasoners and fine judges of character. They are gentle, kind- hearted, active and industrious. They become the strongest of the strong. They seek for the good that is in all things, turning from the darker side of life. Never put off till tomorrow what they can do today, should be their motto. Their chief fault is procras- tination. Marriage relations between . qua- rius and Gemini people should prove happy and peaceful. . s children, they will invariably re- Hect the spirit in which they are met. For truth and gentleness they return truth and gentleness; for cruelty and doubt they return cruelty and doubt. Their most propitious months are . pril and .Vugust. Saturday is their luckv dav. 47 1  VlUGO EDITH HAUVEY Diploma in Art September 2 These people are usually well- fornied, of average height, with strong intellectual faces. They are natural- ly neat, precise, accurate and discrim- inating. The most distinguishing fea- tures of their character are order and harmony. These people are capable of great accomplishments. They have epicurean tastes and try to get all they can out of life. They strive for truth, virtue, genuine goodness and nobility of character. Their principal fault is their de- sire to interfere with the affairs of others; closely allied to this is ten- dency to fault-finding and sharp crit- icism. Harmony, congeniality and happi- ness are the results of marriage be- tween people of this same sign. In Sagittarius and Libra, also, Virgo people find agreealile companionship. These little ones require pure food, jHire air, kindness, with early habits of personal cleanliness and neatness. February and November are the most fortunate months for Virgo peo- )ilc. Wednesday is their best day. 48 MAY PHIIJ.IPS Dijilnma in Art AllIKS April 1 Tliose born under this sign should appreciate the faet that theirs is the most favorable birth sign in the Zo- diac. Aries persons are ordinarily of spare physique, strong, alert and of- ten nervous. Their greatest faculty is their power to think. They rarely become hard students, but have ability of impiirting what tliey learn. As con- versationalists they have few equals. They are artistically inclined and are at their best in extravagant surround- People of this sign are not among the fiery lovers of the world, yet if allowed to have their own way make ideal life companions for those of Sa- gittarius. Among the things they should guard against are impatience and foolish generosity. As children they are bright and of- ten .wrongly called hard-headed. Nothing can conquer them but love. .Time and July are their most for- tunate months, and Tuesday is their bickv day. 49 LOUISE MOULTRIE ])lpUtma hi Art I EO July 29 r ' i The sun is the jio erning phinet in this sign. People born therein are of medium height, with excellently proportioned bodies, light complexions and pleasant voices. They are warm-hearted, magnetic and emotional. With them, impulse comes from the heart and not from the head; thus not by argument, Ijut by an appeal to their sympathies are they moved. They are especially blessed with intuition which seems to comjiensate for their distaste of men- tal effort. People under this sign have excel- lent memories, and should accom- plish most in art, literature or music. They are liorn lovers, and can not ex- ist without sympathy and affection; in return tlieir love is loyal. Leo peo- ple should consider marriage more seriously and should not marry early. A life partner from Aries or Sagittarius will prove the most help- ful and congenial. Their chief faults are rashness, con- ceit and anger. As children they are sensitive, self-willed, and imitative. .lanuary and Octolier are their lucky months and Sunday is their favorite dav.

They are gentle and sympa- thetic and their hearts are deeply touched by suffering. They have a love for the artistic in all things and may become nnisicians, artists or pro- fessional people. The moon is the governing planet, which is a fickle and doiditful sign. On account of their changeful nature one never knows what to e.xpect from them. They sometimes discard old friendships without reason and de- mand from others the constancy they themselves do not possess. These people are often in love, yet marriage for them is a hazardous step and should be deferred until they can control their fickleness. Associa- tion with people from Scorpio will prove constant and helpful to them. These children are difficult to man- age except with love and firnmess. February and September are their favorite months and Monday is their luckv day. 51 Senior Class History N September, 1910. the Track, known as the Shorter College Course, stretched far out to the horizon before tliirtj- eager contestants. Vainh ' striving to catch a glimpse of what la} ' in the dim distance on that path before us, our Freshman Class bravely determined to run this new race for knowledge. We started with manj ' encouraging words, yet little dreamed of the real pitfalls that lay before us. We were full of spirit and eager to win praise from our judge and his directors who had come from far and near to manage this great course. However, only a short way had we gone when we tumbled right into an awful ditch called Mathematics ; we were only able to scramble out with the Dean ' s utmost aid. Over the devious but well-trodden path known as His- tory, we made fairly good time, but oh, wlien we reached those awful Latin quicksands! Some oftlie band almost lost hope and had the Director Hogan not been most kind, doubtless many of our prospects for the prize would have been lost. We could have passed the hard climbs from here on better Jiad we not spent our strength trving to take the heavy pulls English and German, but after these exertions we found ourselves in no state for such a load as Ancient Languages ; yet we banded together, and, though we went slowly, our progress was sure. However, in the meantime we had been braced up by some chemicals which one of the directors had insisted on our taking. They really did do us good ; but one dose was all most of us would take, ' e were nearing the first milestone wlien The first of April sought to draw us aside from our steady gait and tempted us to acknowledge a new and comical band of directors, but some of us recognized tlie plot and would not submit. Our experienced directors then led us, bearing our clover wreath, successfullv t ) the milestone inscribed Sopliomores. October, 1911. Thence forward our path followed anotlier direction ; we left the course begun at Old Shorter to continue our race on the heights of West Rome. But when our records were examined by the Classification Committee some of our band were set back a mile or so and we were lashed up considerably to make greater speed. We wasted no time and we were going well, when sud- denly Susie firmly planted herself in the middle of the track and stubbornly refused to budge, until the directors let her have her own wav. As M ' e neared tlif sfc-oml niiltstoiR- we encountered a carnival and were almost stopijed by the showers of confetti, etc. However, at last we passed another landmark which bore the welcome words .Juniors, September, 1912. It was on this most peaceful stretch of all that we gained our steady leader, Eva, and inspired with renewed ardor after a resting period, we quickened our pace toward the ever-nearing goal. We became quite alarmed though, at debt, and presented quite a Scene of Hiawatha. We managed to escape that monster, however, and would doubtless have easily reached the tliird stone liad not four of our band become involved in an argument which lasted until the end of that course. However, when we heard the stirring strains of Hail. Dear Old Shorter. we made double-quick time and to our joy reached the alluring stone marked Seniors. September, 1913. As we entered upon the liome-stretch we were joined by Willie Duane, who succeeded in making herself understood. At times. Anne, May, Edith and Eouise became entangled with tlie brush, and Hettie was constantly en- comitering bars, yet doubtless the most serious trouble was Katharine ' s and Madeline s breathing. From the middle of this path we liad more load than we could get along with and which took almost all our strength. Some of us were greatly weighted with bundles of leaves to be )nit in The Argo, while others had to bear loads of groceries. Such impediments were new to us, but after we became accustomed to tliem, we made very good time. Bearing The Argo ' as trophy, we have arrived, one and all, and in the proud pos- session of our scroll and ribbon we now turn our faces toward a larger field of achievement. E. P.

Hi ory of the Freshman Class OST of the inembirs of our class came to college in Sep- tember, and each passed that dreadful ordeal, the Classi- fication Committee, with fearful hearts, but outward com- l)Osure. Let us go back a short time in the history of the class. Each lass began the search for knowledge about ten years ago. and plodded through the w-eary years of Grammar School and High School, thinking all the while of the college days in store for her. Each heard of Shorter and came liere to continue her search for knowledge. From the first, our class has been very much awake, and quite able to cope with the Sophs. We have had several interesting battles with tlu ' ui. and have always come out with flying colors. A notable feature of our class is the basketball team. There have been two memorable games with the Sophs, both of which the Freshmen won. In the latter game, which was plaved in the Gym, our colors waved victoriously from the ceiling. Both were hard-fought games, so they have done much to arouse enthusiasm and class-spirit among the Freshmen. The Freslmien feast is always one of the most enjoyable events of the year. Every one has looked forward to it for months. Even the Seniors wish to attend. One Senior actually offered to pay a (juarter for the jjriviiege. I wonder if she got her quarter ' s worth . In the latter part of February, Shorter Hill was covered with snow, and there was a lively snow-battle. Freshmen .-ind Juniors against Sophomores and Academy. Ammunition, in the form of snowballs, was prepared by both sides before the beginning of the battle. Such fun we had ! We pelted each other with the balls and rolled in the snow nitil every one was literally cov- ered. There was some splendid fighting on both sides. lay the remaining history of the Class of Nineteen-Hundred and Seven- teen be as successful as the Freshman year.

I ♦ It ' . ffj ' T ' = 81 The Cruise of 19 13- ' 14 Epwij HOSP timid girls coming up tlit- walk, grip in hand and hat on the wrong side of the head, who are they? They look awfully young and perhaps a little unso- phisticated. Oh, I know, they ' re the Academy stu- dents. They do look interesting, too, let ' s watch their progress this year. It is matriculation day and we see them shyly going up to interview Dean Gaines about their course. • ' ell, young lady, what can I do for you. Timidly. Mr. Gaines — I — er — want you to look at m_v credits. Yes, yes, just go down to Miss Blalock. You liave eight units. Oh, Mr. Gaines, mayn ' t I be a Freshman? No. you haven ' t enough credits. Poor little tiling! As she turns away weeping, she believes the Academy is a horrible place. Just wait two months later — and how is our little Acad- emy ? She wouldn ' t be anything else, if she could. What is this? Just listen to what she is saying: We had the most excit- ing time electing officers, but now we have the finest ones! And you ' ve never seen such spirit. Spirit! Why you .just ought to have been at that Acad- emy-Junior game. The Academy girls were dressed in red and black — glory to those colors ! — and I never saw such pretty girls in my life. They were all on one side of the Gym, giving one yell right after another — Who ' s gonna winer, winer? Who ' s gonna winer, winer ? Wow ! ! W ' e ' re gonna winer. winer ! We ' re gonna winer, winer! How? Ea- -SVM Then came our jjlayers all shaking — you know that is a crack Junior team. Well, why should we worry! But to the game. First half, Academy- Junior on the field ! Whistle blows — ball goes up — knocked to Academy side, but .Tuniors get ball — o-o-oh they pitch one goal, and another, score 4-0. What shall we do? But, alas, poor .Junior! She makes a foul — Catherine 82 83 tries for goal and makes it! And wlun the first lialf is over our jcore is 7 to Juniors ( . Rah! Rah! Of course we can play! Think we ' ll win in second half? Why. we know it. The Academy is just walking away with the Juniors, but success brings carelessness and we make one — two — three fouls and they ' re up with us. One more minute! Score 11-14!! Junior makes a foul! Georgic tries for the goal and — Glory! — just as the ball goes through the basket — the whistle blows! The game is ours!!! The girls are wild with joy and dash off carrying the players on their shoul- ders. But how can we celebrate our victory. An idea! A midnight sheet parade! The very thing! Away the girls go scampering to their rooms, but soon on the laundry porch one — two — three ghosts — Horrors ! — These are not gliosts, but Academy girls ready to march. We line up and march around and around the college in the very darkest place. Shall that night ever be forgotten. Never! Some weeks later we were in study hall — studying? Xo, it seemed to us at this time that life was too dull for anything. One girl would whisper to another. I wish something exciting would happen. And another would slip a note saying, I wonder when we ' re going to have our midnight feast? Just at this time Elinor looking out of the window, exclaimed aloud — Oh, goodness, look! It ' s snowing! Everybody was so excited, for it was the first snow some of the girls had ever seen. My! It was ages before we could throw snowballs. But when we did get out. it was two inches deep — oh, so deep ! Where is everybody hurrying so bundled up? Oh, a snow fight!

It was in coinuieuuiratii)n of her beautiful character and influence that the religious organization of tlic college received its name; and it con- tinues throughout the generations to identify lier with those influences in the college life that serve as an inspiration to noble striving for the things most worth while in that richer, fuller life made possible liy the lu ' nefactions of her noble husband. 86 Young Woman ' s Auxiliary OFFICERS Eva Pini.i.ii ' s President RiBY Hic.itT Vice-President I.II.I.IE Coax Secretary Mary GoETCinrs Treasurer CABINET OFFICERS Rl ' BY HiGIIT I.l I.A JIl;HC ' EII Sl ' EAHS LiLLIE COAN HeTTIE BaKTOX Mahv GoETCHirs Jeddie Graham Rebekaii Ci.akk Ci.AiiA Barrett Esther Dobbs Zh.laii Joiinsox LorisE Drewry Eva Phillips Ethel Stephens 87 Religious Organization at Shorter XV organization wliatsotver, regardless of how good a beginning it may liave had, must gradual!} ' grow into a perfected system. The past four years of the existence of the Young ' ouian ' s Auxiliary at Short- er College have been years of steady growth. Each year a new standard has been set by the members of the organization as a result of which development, the Y. W. A. has at last become a truly organized body. Thirteen members compose the cabinet. Each member is chairman of a committee composed of five other girls. The time of committee meetings is Sun- day afternoon. Directly after the committees are dismissed, the chairmen meet as a cabinet for an hour. At every meeting of the cabinet as well as of tlie committee, a sliort devotional service is lield. Tlie girls are dependable and systematic. The branches of work and of study outlined in the beginning of the year were: Mission Study, Bible Study, Sunday-school, and Settlement Work. The underlying object of the Mission Study campaign is to create and strengthen among students an intelligent and sympathetic interest in the less favored classes and nations of the world, in order to promote their better- ment and evangelization. Only tlirougli a thorough knowledge of both home and foreign missions is tlie student able to grasp the value of the individual life. He learns tlie great necessity of every life ' s fitting into its place in the great plan of the universe in order that the world may be truly Christian- ized. Students must he familiar with home and foreign needs not only that they may be lielped themselves, but that they may know liow to pray intel- ligently, how to give wisely, and how best to give themselves to the cause. Out of the two hundred and nine girls in school there were one hundred and seventy engaged in Mission Study in the fall. In the spring, the Mission Study classes evolved into Bible Study courses which met weekly. Aside from this systematic study of the Bible, daily Bible reading is encouraged. There is posted on the Y. W. A. bulletin-board each My a passage reference for that day ' s reading, selected by .ie Bible Study conunittce. AIucli importance is attaclied also to the Sunday-school and Settlement Work in tlie factory districts of Rome. There are fort}- students who are teacliing in the Sunday-schools. In addition to this, many of the voice stu- dents sing, when it is desired. On Friday afternoons Tlielma Hurst teaches in the Domestic Science department in the West Rome school, which was established last year by one of our students. On Wednesday afternoons four other girls go to teach these same West Rome children the art of sewing. The . ' tory Tellers League affords much pleasure as well as instruction to the small children of this district. On Sunday afternoons the girls who tell the Bible stories are heard by twenty-Uve eager listeners. This service on the part of the girls not only aids those whom they teach, but greatly benefits the students themselves. Their love and s_vmi)athy for humanit} ' is increased: they gain confidence in their ability to do effective work ; their eyes are opened to the call of Christ for workers. Surely to those who enter into this work it soon becomes not a sacrifice but a jov. 89 Students ' Association OFFICERS WiLDA Hakdmax President Ruby Hight Vice-Prexident I.ir.i.iE Coax Secrelitri nitd Treasurer EXKCLTIVE 150ARD .Makv CJoetchus Aiixe Cobb Jeddie Graham Lii.a Mekceb Si eaiis Heitik Bartox Agxes Thomas GRAXI-) COL ' XCIL Eva I ' liiii.irs .r fe Rtby Bavxes Rnii Davis . 0 B fe GrssiE Du Pkee ■• ' ■T  ' otmm. r) imiii .Si vssociation I ri ■iF.imii 1 1..„,.. . .

What ' 4 organization can exist without something defi- nite — something great to do ! When we under- take a task like this we can not afford to leave a stone unturned ! Just such is the spirit which has pervaded the two societies throughout this whole year, and all efforts have been di- rected tow.ird this building as our one great aim. It has been the loftiest castle of our day-dreams, the controlling tliread of our thoughts, the para- mount toj)ic of daily conversation. That there is to be such a hall is no longer an air-castle; it is a known fact. The jilans are made, the foundation will soon be laid, and when we come back to Shorter in September we liope to have tile great jov of seeing our dreams materialized. 92 i p: % i :iiA. tS; f ' i? ■ii ' ' ■sj i 1 : 1 •• - ' --rvxwi cyfr 93 History HE Eunoiiiian Literary Socitty was orgaiiizfd in 1879 and throughout its existence of thirtj ' -four years, it ha« always stood for the general culture and broader de- velopment of its members. The society has striven to incite real love and enthusiasm for literary work of the highest type. In the name of our society there is embodied the tliought which underlies the secret of our success. Eunomian is derived from Eunomius, meaning well named. In tlie historical character of Eunomius we find a man who, after having mastered all obstacles, marched bravely forth in quest of truth, wisdom and light. As followers of his we strive to represent a body of young people in search of those things most worth while in life. Following the e. am])le whicii is set in the name we bear, we feel that we must place our ideals high and grow in reaching up toward them rather than content ourselves with the ordinary and commonplace. It is our ])urpose, therefore, to disclose what we stand for: To get each member to feel the vast inijiortance of training herself to appreciate the higher arts, to encourage in her the desire for that refinement of mind and soul which comes from a thoi ' ough knowledge of the master classics ; and to make her worthy of the organization, the name of which she endeavors to uphold. tjJS ue HiB!3asiniCT ra i .vaiM3 H V Eunomian Literary Society Founded 1H7!)

The life of today is so varied with its inter- mixture of tragedy and comedy, that the greatest writers of the time have put their message into that most con- centrated of all literary forms, the drama rather than in the novel, the essay or the poem. - Thus realizing that the drama is no longer merely a means of entertainment, but a criticism of life, and be- lieving that through a study of it one gains a clearer un- derstanding of one ' s individual problems as well as a keener insight into that spiritual uplift which accom- panies every genuine aesthetic emotion, the Eunomian So- ciet} ' adopted and followed the course of the modern drama throughout its programs during this past scholas- tic 3 ' ear. This was done by means of artistic interpretation and by adapting and presenting different plays from time to time. Among those given as interpretative readings were Maeterlinck ' s Ardine et Barbe Bleu, ' Hauptmanns The Sunken Bell, and Rostand ' s L ' Aiglon. In Bar- rie ' s The Little Minister, ' the members of the society showed their ability in their dramatization and presentation of certain scenes. It was artistically arranged and proved an excellent amateur performance. Yeats ' The Land of Heart ' s Desire, and Shaw ' s The Devil ' s Disciple, ' and Caesar and Cleopatra, are among other dramas whieli have constituted our program list. Thus, in the study of dramatic literature we have not only come under the influence of the world ' s master thinkers, but have gained insight into the forces at work in our modern life. 96 Eunomian Roll Allen.

The society takes its name from Polyhymnia, the nnise of lyric poetry — its purpose being to incul- cate in the minds and Iiearts of Polymnians a love for the best in music, art and literature. This year the society has held excellent pro- grams on the poems of Shakespeare, Lanier, Mark Twain, Joel Chandler Harris, James Whitcomb Riley, Paul Lawrence Dun- bar, Rudyard Kipling, Henry Van Dyke, Robert Louis Stevenson, and other great poets. Our study of an author usually includes a biographical sketch, often illustrated with magic lantern scenes connected with the poet ' s life, readings and recitations of selections from his writings and a thorough dis- cussion and criticism of his works, style and literary standing. In answer to roll call each member responds with a quotation from the author to be studied . We have also held several debates on live political and educational questions. This has proved a very effectual means of keeping our members informed on current discussions. In Athletics Polymnian stands at the front, quite a number of her girls having already won their numerals. At the present we are preparing for inter-society basketball games, and much interest and enthusiasm is shown on the athletic grounds. But Polymnians Play while they play, and work while tliey work, and when Shorter calls them, no matter what the task may be she finds them ever read} to strive for the glory of greater Shorter and Polymnian. When w- heard that the annual Christmas bazaar, which had always been in the hands of the various classes, would this year be managed entirely b ' the two so- cieties, and that the society raising the greatest amount of money would have the choice of rooms in the new society hall, enthusiasm ran high. Needles flew, jietitions for contributions hurried home and we worked with an energy which is characteristic of Polymnians. We won, clearing in all one hundred and forty dollars. Now we are eagerly looking forward to September, 191 !•, when we shall be in our new home, where we will have room for increased energy, and Polymnian Society will in truth enter into her golden age. 100 Polymnian ' Society Colors: Red.

This lively interest in the debate is spurred on by a handsome loving-cup offered by Prof. Luther R. Hogan to the society winning it for three consecutive years. The winning society each time holds the prized trophy during the ensuing year. The debaters are chosen several montlis before and niucli preparation and study is given to the subject, each side putting forth its best to gain the prize. In 1913 the question debated was, Resolved, That the President of the United States sliould be elected for a term of six years and be ineligible for re-election. The Eunoniian Society was ably represented by Moselle Eu- banks and Anne Goetchius who championed the affirmative, while Eva Phillips and Madeline Trotter upheld the negative for the Polymnian Society. The decision was inianimously rendered in favor of the negative, and the red, white and green ribbons have this year adorned the beloved trophy whidi occupies a most important place in our hall and encourages us to still more and still greater victories for Polymnian. 102 Polymnian Society Roll Adams.

It is far more necessary for one to see the beauties of the hearts of men than it is for them to see the beauties of their forms. It is a great joy to study the lives of such men as, Fra , ,gg — Angelico, Raphael, and Michelangelo whose souls were even greater than their works. There are few nobler pursuits than learning to see the wonders of this world God has put us in, and in striving to make ourselves more tit for the gifts He has given us. He who thinks tlie Art Department at Shorter is merely to teach the beauty of light and shade, line and color, is vastly wrong. We are at Shorter College to learn more of life, and there is no work more capable of teaching it than our own. As yet we are just in the springtime of our vision; and as the tiny blades push the soil away, so are we reaching above us for more light. How often a song rises to our lips and we feel our hearts swell within us as we look from our studio windows away to the fading blue hills ! This is our kindergarten of life. and. as we go on into tlie coming years, and thence into Eternity, our learning will go on until the glories of God and the beauties of man are revealed to us. Tiiis is the work we are doing. These are things we are trying to learn. And with our many opportunities, with our s)jlendid equipment and the won- derful Iandsca))e spread about us, who could fail to learn more fully and love more deeply the beauties of art? A. G.

Music cultivates the soul and those powers which dominate motives and direct the will. It is worth seek- ing for its own sake because it brings a true appreciation of the beautiful and adds vastly to one ' s capacitj ' foe the higher life. Only can one ' s education be well-round- ed, indeed, when the intellect and the emotions are uniformly developed. The aim of our School of Music is to offer courses in which are combined the aesthetics and the technic of music in exactly the right proportion; to lay a foundation of musical knowledge whereby the student may learn to appre- ciate music in a general way and may have the opportunity of acquiring technic essential to the professional practice of music. Our musical institu- tion further purposes to send out young women so imbued with love for this art and so thoroughly equipped that the possibilities of music may be further- ed among the people of the South and the standard of nmsical culture be raised. Certainly, this is not an ideal too lofty for a college of Shorter ' s standing. For some time music as a vocation has gradually been coming to the front; today it is recognized as one of the significant forms of professional life. It has equalled the accepted studies of the college curriculum as an element in mental discipline, as a means of intellectual growth and as the best method of creating a love for the beautiful. But what real advantages has our School of lusic for the student who desires to devote herself to this art? We have, in the first place, proficient instructors in the departments of organ, pianoforte, voice, violin, and a com- plete course in the theory of music. During the four years ' course required 120 the student makes a study of the grades of eouiposition, both chissic ami romantic, required for a systematic development in execution and in interpre- tation, both for teaching and for artistic performance. Also, as the best means of familia rizing them further with good music and of cultivating ease and poise, wlun appearing before audiences, the students are required to attend and, from time to time, to take part in semi-monthly recitals that are given in the college auditorium. We enjoy, too, anotlier advantage, by no means inconsiderable, for those who are interested in the History of Music; i. e., we are enabled l)y means of the Angelus to become acquainted with many works of our greatest composers, and to learn in a concrete way their separate styles as we study their lives. Furthermore, the students who make up the college chorus under the director of the Department of Voice are brought into contact with anotlier phase of the musical life here that tends directly toward a more uniform development of the intellectual and the emotional faculties; while, owing to the fact that the location of our college makes Atlanta of easy access, all students of music who wish to liear the operas given during tlie season there every spring may avail themselves of that opportunitv. Another notewortliy privilege lies in the unusual facilities here for acquir- ing that symmetrical culture that results from the combined study of litera- ture and music. Tributary to this is the Artist ' s Course, which brings to Shorter some notable lecturers, musicians, and other artists. Among those who have come to us are: ladame Fanny Bloomlield-Zeisler, of Chicago; Dr. Alfonso Smith, of the University of V irginia ; Cecil Fanning, the well-known baritone; Arthur Hartman, the Hungarian violinist; and, during the present session, the I.ee Short Company has delighted us with interpretations of two Shakespearean plays. The standard of our School of !Music compares favorably with the best work of any other conservatory in this part of the country. Our graduates who go every year into schools in the small towns and villages throughout this section are not only elevating the standards of teaching, but are also contributing to a more general advance in artistic appreciation.

Dramatic Club, Story-Tellers ' League F the reader induce in his audience a certain thoughtfulness in- stead of pliysical excitement, a certain restful joy instead ot turmoil — his reading conies under the head of good art. I be- lieve the time is coming when only art which uplifts and blesses and heals will be considered art at all. Good art awakens the consciousness to a realization of spiritual inheritance and kinghood. Bad art puts to sleep the consciousness of spirit, and awakens the consciousness of the senses. That art, then, must be finest .and best and greatest which speaks to mind with the purest intervening material symbols. ' — Leland Pow- ers. The Department has become more inclusive than it was last year, and it is to be known as the Department of Public Speaking and Expression. This does not mean that it is to become less interesting, but that it is to be ex- tended so as to include all forms of the Spoken Word. Some of tlie aims of the department are to inculcate in the reader or s])eaker power to tliink and speak vitally ; to penetrate to fundamentals and slur incidentals ; to get com- munication with the audience; to cultivate simplicity, and, most of all. to con- sider the self the transparent medium for the message. To this end the voice and body are trained to reveal and not to obstruct. That man or woman is the greatest artist who reveals most impersonally some glimpse of truth — the recognition of which is latent in all and patent to the artist. The acme of the art is reached when tlie reader or speaker does not appear as such, but as an embodiment of thought and feeling. Oral English We are just beginning to realize how immeasurably valuable to us is the course in Oral English. When we first began it, we thought of this — and I fear some do yet — as .-i snap course; for like all courses that require ])ractice as well as theory, we thought when we got our theory that we knew our lesson. Now we are becoming wiser. ot tliat we do not appreciate the ' m.em0rp Im Im vj) fpmitcu . vSrhool of l)eaking and -n F.M ' HEssio.v, Ohm i . i Keaoing), Duamatu- C ia-b, m i F the .

We liear all sorts of rumors as to what we are to have next year; a course in Effective Reading, and one in Effective Speaking. The idea of effec- tive seems to be favored. (Let us be thankful it is not affected.) Then, there is to be an advanced course called Interpretative Forms of Expres- sion. Ugh! Just try that word interpretative. It surely is a tongue- twister. It seems right to give us half-credit, if we can pronounce that re- spectabh .

Wii.i.iE DiAXK TiioJiAS President Ri ' TH Biimox Vice-President Beulah Nance Recording Secretary Ruth Bell Treasurer The reorganization of tlie Dramatic Club is one of the distinctive features of the work in this department this year. The purpose of the club is to study the psychology and technique of gesture, to prepare original panto- mimes, dramatize stories, stage plays, and promote interest in the drama generally. 126 127 Our facilities for staging plays are now so limited that we can do but little in the way of putting on those of a pretentious nature. Nevertheless, the club has, in spite of that drawback, been able to do a good deal. Our most creditable performance was, perhaps, that of The First Lady of the Land, presented, in honor of Washington ' s birthday, under the direction of Willie Duane Thomas. The Storv-Tellkrs Le. gite The Story-Tellers League was organized for the jjurpose of teaching the children of the factory district in West Rome more of the Bible. Some of the girls in the School of Expression went every Sunday afternoon with !Miss Frost to West Rome and told Bible stories to the children. At first only about ten boj ' s and girls came to the meeting place, but in a short time the number was increased to thirty children, ranging from four to fourteen years. They always listened attentively, often making original remarks about some striking points in the story. After a while, under Miss Frost ' s loving and tactful management, they began to take part in the exercises. On the Sunday after Thanksgiving, we had special exercises for them made up of songs and stories suggestive of the day ; candy and nuts after the program. It was a jojr to see the delight in their childish faces. Altogether, we feel that much good has been accomjjlished by the league. 128 His Brother ' s Keeper The Prize Story ' (juit I Littk- boys like you ain ' t got no business with to- bacco. Take yo liands off. I tell you. ' ' With that, Sampson A ' ilkin.s j)ocketed his stolen treasure and looked aboiic gloomily. It seemed too much for human endurance that V .a J he should have to sit idly by and watch a baby, wlien all the j gf world w;is calling him to Jilay. Brotlier was a small curly-headed man of one year, who ■• ' J asked nothing of life on this particular summer afternoon but a pair of blue rompers and a sand-pile. It was enough for Brother that he was alive, but not so with Sam. This wasn ' t right. A fellow only had three months ' vacation at best, he reasoned. Looks like a big boy like you could staj by his-self sometimes. I ' d be ashamed to be such a baby, if I was you, went on Sam incon- sistently. He thought he would take a chew of his tobacco, then considered that it would be best to wait until he had a more appreciative audience. He knew, with a boy ' s in- tuition, the prestige that piece of tobacco would give him in the eyes of Jim and Punk. ivv Ju Ouu+a, i- But .Sam was getting desperate. Xo martyr ever felt more ill-treated than he, when suddenly there penetrated the stillness of the afternoon something 129 that was to his ears tlie sweetest iniisie. He ceased whittling the top step and looked bout him with lively interest. It was Punk ' s whistle. That young- gentleman vaulted hack-t ' enee and came across the yard bringing with him a delightfully scrubby looking dog. Hi, Sam, brought your dawg back. He ' s some sport, too — ain ' t you, Quilp? he asked, turning to that dilapidated canine. For answer Qtiilp performed a giration over Brother ' s sand pile. Say, began Saui in a half-whisper, did you get him. Sure did, here ' s his tail, ' answered Punk, displaying a long, yellow tail which had recently adorned Miss Arabella Williams ' cat. Won ' t that old sister be some mad when Napoleon comes home without his tail. Sam and Punk faced their world as conquering heroes. . t last they were even with their arch-enemy. Guess she won ' t tell on us no mo. ' was Punk ' s remark as he rose from t he steps brandishing the tail in the air. Where yoh goin . Punk? asked Sam, becoming melancholy again. Swimmin , was Punk ' s re])lv. Come on. ' ell. wliat ' ll I do with this kid? Ain ' t nobody here but me. and him. said Sam, casting a depreciative glance in the direction of his troublesome relative. Put him in his walkin ' - wagon an ' he ' ll be all right, advised Punk, reassuringly. As Sam lifted Brother into the baby-walker, sand seemed to ooze from every ))ore in his small fat body. This arrange- ment, however, didn ' t suit Brother in the least. He ob- jected to being taken from his l)layhouse. Furthermore, the baby-walker was to him an un- necessary nuisance, and lie so expressed himself by his pro- testing cries and the violent propulsion of his small feet. R-Rlex1hdei? 130 All right, you li.ird-lie.uUd kid — you ain ' t iiotliin ' liut troiihli ' , ' was Sam s disgiisttd coniiiuiit. as lie stt Urotlur down. I ' m goin ' off now. an ' if you get hurt it will bt- your own fault — you can just, remenihfr that. 1(1 In- ashamed to be such a cry-baby. Hut the force of Sam s remarks was lost on Brother. If Sam chose to sit in the seat of the scornful, it was nothing to him. Sam and Punk climbed the back-fence, leaving Quili) whining at being left behind. He tried for a time to scratch under the fence, but finding his efforts of no avail crawled under the steps and lay down. Brother at last getting tired of his sand-pile started on an exjiloring expedition, and, finding the old lap-robe which served as Quil|) s bed. lay down beside him and was soon asleep. Now it hai)pened that Xym. an inquisitive old goat of uncertain age, was exploring also this afternoon and finding a loose paling in the fence, knocked it off ' and squeezed himself through into the yard. The baby-walker attracted his attention and he challenged it to a fight, lowered his head and struck it a mighty blow. His liorns caught in it as it turned over, and, not meeting the resistance expected. Xym went over also. He was now topsy-turvey in the baby-walker, kicking wildly, thus creating a situation which appealed strong- ly to Quilp ' s sense of humor. He capered around, expressing his delight in short staccato barks. This so maddened the overturned goat that with one mighty effort he set himself upon his legs again. The baby-walker was now on his head, having remained fastened in his crooked liorns. He made a dash for the broken place in the fence and there was a mighty crash. The baby- walker was a wreck, and so, for the time being, was the goat. Irs. Wilkins. having just arrived home froin town, walked out to the back porch with the candy which she had jjromised Sam as a reward for his faith- fulness. Where was Sam? here was Brother. This ecrtainh- was strange. Sam had promised not to leave the yard. She looked about and called, but no sign of either was visible. Then Nlrs. Wilkins. suddenly catching sight of the demolished b.-iby-walker. gave a su))press(d cry. Something terrible 131 had happtiud. Mnru wtrc lur children? At this junctui-L- Quilp crawled from under the stei)s looking as it ' he were expeeting to be punished tor something. Oh, where is my bahv? was Mrs. Wilkins tearful greeting. At this Quilp ran back under the stejjs and the desperate woman fol- lowed liim. Stooping to looiv under she caught sight of tlie sleeping Brotlier witli Quilp beside him on the dirty old lap-robe. It was some time later when Sam came, personally conducted by Jim and Punk. He was too sick to stand alone. The tobacco had done its work. He wouldn ' t give us none. ' ex- plained Jim. It was good for Sam that day that he was sick ! Sampson thought he was going to die. Give my fisliin ' ])ole to Punk, so ' s he ' ll have something to re- member me bv, he said weaklv. :i: And later — If I ever do get well I ' m goin ' to be the best boy in the world, he promised. You are the best boy in the world, cried Mrs. ' ilkins as she knelt by the bedside of her prodigal son. But Father A ' ilkins. thinking of his own boyhood days, turned away with an understanding smile. Ruth Sehover Davis. 132 Mount Alto -Mount Alto, cl;ii-k iigiiin t the sunset sky.

Friendship It ' s not the uuin who has a host of friends That, I would say, knows most of friendship ' s bond. We use the friendship word to serve our ends: A friend is not, merely, one of whom we are fond; We toy with meanings of this sacred word; A ' e care not how we blas]iheme sacredness. And, yet has ever there been seen or heard One desecrator who woidd dare confess? It is not this I call a friendship true. Just being loved: — the friendship lies in this: Just being all, and giving all of you. Just finding friendship ' s sacrifice your liliss. So long as time shall last — e ' en to the end That ' s friendship — just 1o he a friend. G. W. 133 Love of Freedom in German Literature A mans country is the place of great- est liberty. as Recliterps pungently states, and nowhere do we see this statement so often and so variously reflected as in the literature of the Ger- man nation. Down through the centuries we hear the note of freedom and patriotism sounded again and again until, we might assert, it culminates in the writ- ings of those patriots known to |)oster- ity as The Freedom Poets. ' ith such poems as Des Heutschen ' aterlandes and Die ' acht am Kliein ' did these ])oets arouse the com- mon people to revolt against all tyr- annv and to drive out the hated op- pressor. Xa])oleon. from the beloved Fatherland. In IVilhflin Tell. Schiller presents his e )nc ptiou of a tree ])eople. free because of harmony between the external and internal law. Lit- tle A ' alter Tell voices the dominant thought when, at tlie order of Gessler. the soldiers start to bind him, so that his father may shoot the apple from his he.ul ;ind he cries out: Bind me! No! Then I would struggle against my bonds. Again, in his Jinif fraii roii Orlcinis. Schiller gives us a picture of ardent patriotism. It nnist not be urged that .loan belonged to the French — .as our ins))ir;ition .-ind ideal she is not bouiul by any nationality but becomes undi-r the m;i ic of .Scliilhr ' s ginins ;in exponent of German jiatriotism and lo e of freedom. Tlic writings of Fridirioli von Kliist would haw swtpt like a clcansiiiij H:inio tlirougli the tyranny o trsliadowing tlu ' I ' atlirrl.md. and al- though of no avail in that great day of stress, were destined to ke i) alive in later generations the fires of patriotism throughout all (nrniany. No play of modern times ean ie in intlueuee witli The I ' r ' inz ran Ilomhiiii . It is the last word in (ierman p itriotisni. Into the dust with all enemies of Hran- denlnn-g ! ' Not onlv does the tierman ],oet depict the struggle fm- the fatherland ' s ])olitieal liberty, hut again and again he strikes the note of personal and re- ligious freedom. In Ki woiit. we follow the attempt of Phillip II of .Spain to foree the Catliolic religion upon the Protestant jjeojiles of the Netherlands. Kgmont dies on the scaffold, the country is devastated, but .Spain no longer dictates the religious beliefs of the Netherlands. Furthermore, race jn-ejudice is a fetter from which every country and people must he freed. Xiithaii the IVixc is Lessing ' s great gift to the German nation. .Surely ne (r was the lesson of tolerance so nobly taught! Here we have the .lew. the Mohammedan, and the Christian, but it is through Nathan ' s story of the rings that the author shows the narrow race prejudices of the day. The beautiful ))arable of the ring descending in unbroken line from father to son until it reached that father whose three sons stood so ecpially in his affections that to each he gave a ring — but to which one the true ring? And the wise judge. If the true ring jjosscsses the magic power to make the wearer beloved by God and ni.ui. then go and jjrove the potency of the ring . . . . .A.ud Nathan turns to Saladin and (piestions, Art thou, I) .Saladin. that wisest of .ludges who shall determine which is the irwr ring. The greatest of all freedom, the freedom of the s))irit. is wonderfully l)or- trayed in that masterpiece. Goethe ' s Faust. Upon Faust presses the heavy weight of narrow tradition, the iron-clad customs of ancient society, these are burdensome and hateful to him. In his desire for that moment to which he can sav. .Stav. fair moment, for thou art so fair! he ]jasses through the heights .and dejjths of ex])erienee and not until he reaches that altitude where self no longer dwells, does he realize that sublime exaltation of sjiir- itu;il freedom. Thus in the genius of the great writers Schiller. Kleist. Lessing and Cioethe. with their C(Uifreres. we ha -e traced the great ideals of freedom. Trulv have they stri en tli.at their l ' ;itlier]and might be the place of greatest lib.rty. E. P. 135 Druidism in France OXG before tlie mighty Caesar ever led his staunch soldiers into the Gallic lands, a force more powerful, though totally unwar- like, held undisputed sway over the Gauls. The Druids — the ))ritsts of the people — exercised unlimited autliority and enjoyed tlie liighest lioiior in the nation. The essential truth of their religion was that of tile transmigration of souls, wliile all their beliefs and practices were equally mysterious and superstitious. As priests the Druids ministered at the altar, performing public and pri- vate sacrifices. They directed the religious duties of the Gauls as individuals and as tribes. Wlioever refused to submit to their decrees was excommuni- cated and exposed to severest penalties. The Druids were not only priests but also (irophets. They foretold coming events from the flight of birds, also from the death agonies of their captives slain upon the altars. These wonder-workers seemed at times to exercise magical powers over tlie ele- ments. Tliev created ;nvt ' ul .storms or calmed the roarinj; tempests by their solemn, inelancholy chants. The Druids performed their rites in silent and obscure recesses of the forests. The oak trees and the mistletoe were held in reverence. Tlie catting of tlie mistletoe was a sacred ceremony. A priest, clothed in white and crowned with a chaplet of oak leaves, mounted to the limbs of the tree and. having; cut oft ' the sprays of mistletoe with a golden sickle, presented them to anotlier who stood on the ground. One distinctive fact in reg.-ird to the Druids was that they never com- mitted their lore to writing, ' hat we know today of their teachings has come down through tradition. Thus we learn that the Druids — powerful as they were — lived in the simplest kind of dwellings; rude little huts situated on the edge of the forests ; underground caves and mounds. When the Ro- mans began invading Gaul, this powerful priesthood did all it could to up- hold the national cause. The Druids became the most persistent defenders of Gallic independence and nationality. Although Christianity was destined to drive out this pagan religion, in France today are traces of its existence- — echoes, as it were, form the earliest ages. Away in the heart of the densest forests are crumbling remains of altars where once the Druids offered propitiations to their blood-thirsty di- vinities. What realistic reminders of the past ages are the dolmens. In the moonlight they gleam upon us, sentinels of a b ' gone religion — a solemn, silent procession clothed in glittering white. But in the sombre light of the sun they are nothing more than lin es of cold stones; monuments which have stood by the highways for centuries — ghostly reminders of these ancient priests of Gaul. But more interesting than these monuments of stones are the qu.iint char- acteristic superstitions and customs which are observed in many ])arts of France even at the present d.ay. The planting of the wheat in ])lates filled with water to foretell the harvest of the coming year is a custom which dates far back of the Christian era. and may well have had its source in Druidical paganism. But one practice which definitely dates b.ack to the time of Druid- ism is the cutting of the Yule log. Centuries ago the Druid priests cut the Yule oak and with their golden sickles reaped the sacred mistletoe. Now 137 tlie head of the t ' ainily cuts the trei — ;i re ereiitinl act. tliis cutting of tlie tree. But once it falls, the onlookers hreak into a shout and triumphantly bear it homeward. The peasants of Brittany and Provence can tell of nianv strange customs, the origin of which they know not. If they arc observing ceremonies that originated in ])agan Druidisni. they care not. But it is true that Druidisui has left an ineffaceable mark upon the France of todav. E.

Household Economics HAT does tills mean to the average person of today ? The ex- jiression seems to carry with it the idea of being niggardly or stingy, but, indeed, it is a most mistaken idea. In the Boston Cooking School Magazine we find this definition of economics: In the conduct of affairs of every kind, economics means intelligent, skillful management. This, then, embodies the aim of all Domestic Science Depart- ments which in their perfection call forth the English thoroughness, French ingenuity, and American alertness. One of the main aids in economizing is to be able to buy judiciously. Only that which the housewife can utilize to the veriest fragment should be pur- chased. At all times her eyes should be keenly ojiened to the fluctuations of the market. She must purchase vegetables and fruits when they are in sea- son, as they are very expensive out of season. By careful study of good cook-books she can make herself f.amiliar with many dishes which can be prepared from the cheaper foods on market. If she is not watchful she will allow money to leak out of her purse when .she believes she is saving; for instance, patronizing the baker. Surely she can do her own baking much cheaper. Then, too, she often neglects to pre- serve and pickle when the fruits are in season and has to buy her jams, jellies, etc. This is a ))ositive waste of money. To be an economical house- keeper one nmst keep a|);ice with the upward trend of modern inventions and thought and profit accordingly. 140 141 142 143 Present Day Fashions UCH has bcfii said in coiideinnatioii of woman ' s dress to- day. Is this criticism just, or is it due to tlic habit of dis- approving something new? Suddenly marked changes in any direction, be it educational, social or economic, are too often hastily condemned. May this not be true with our fashions . For centuries past women have worn costumes that not only completely covered but often distorted the lines of the figure, ' hl) can forget the procession of misshapen forms in liistorical plays, and in novels, as they appear in hoop-skirts, in bustles, in leg-o ' -mutton sleeves in f ull-jjlaited skirts made heavy, stiff and enormous by means of crinoline linings, while accompanying all these shifting changes of style is tiiat most dangerous of all fashions, the small waist? It is unfortunate that the whole trend of fashion is usually judged by the exaggerated styles of tlie few. We must admit. howe er. that in spite of extremes in dress, the general tendencies now-a-days are good, as they are conducive to better health and to beauty of line in costume. For the one change that present-day fashions demand the normal waistline they should be commended by every physician ; for that fashion which allows the figure to remain perfectly natural is inlinitelj ' more healthful and beautiful than that which tends to give an acquired contour. Furthermore, the narrow skirt, though many times too narrow for comfort or health, admits of much more ease and grace in walking, while it affords the additional advantage of re- quiring only one-half as umch material as those formerly used. The popular one-piece dress is, moreover, nuich more convenient for the bus}- woman in that it allows greater ease and rapidity in dressing as well as greater free- dom of movement because of its unattached waist-line, Much can be said, indeed, in favor of the modern designs that require the large waist, the nar- row skirt, and the one-piece dress; the three distinctive features of our pres- ent-day styles. Adapted as it is from the Greek, our modern costume aims to combine simplicity, beauty, and freedom. If one in the selection of a wardrobe will always keep that ideal in mind, she will help to bring about what is surely in store f(n- ninnkind: better health, greater comfort, and joy in living. A.

On the twenty-second of September tlie morning chapel hour was devoted to the Euno- mian and Pol_vnniian societies. The object of the meeting was to discuss the (jnestion of building a new society hall. The plan was presented by Miss Etliel Stephens, and talks were made by many of the students. Hearty sujjjiort was given by the Faculty. — the Expression and the Voice De])artnients promising to contribute respectively the proceeds from an out- door play, and a lovely Japanese operetta to be given in the spring. A representative from the Alumnae made an interesting talk in which she assured us of the interest and hearty co-operation of that body, which prom- ised to contribute a third of the fund required. The girls responded with generous donations, and even ])romised to give U]) tlieir tri])s to the little store ' on Triday afternoons. Altogether the amount subscribed was over fifteen hundred dollars — this assured the build- ing of the hall. Evinomian and Polymnian Reception JOINT reception was given bv the Literary Societies on the twenty-sixth of September. The college ])arlors and society halls were unusually attractive with the .Japanese decorations. Bright colored lanterns cast rosy lights on the liappy-faced girls who gathered to partake of tea and .sandwiches, and to enjoy the .Japanese school which was so inimitably con- ducted by Miss Doddridge as to bring forth peals of laughter from all present. On this evening the society rushing culminated in tlie formal pledging of the new students to their favorite societv. 152 EDokfJST Dr. Van Hoose ' s Birthday HERE is notliiiig more proiiouncfd among tlie .students than our dee]) respect and love for our President, Dr. Van Hoose. It seems all are anxious to grant his every wish. How happy were we then when we learned that October the thirty-first, the niglit of witches, ghosts and goblins, was also tlu- birthday of our beloved President. A meeting of the student-body was called and the amount for a gift was quickly subscribed, to be given as a sur})rise to him that even- ing on liis return after an absence of several weeks. So during our Hallowe ' en dinner the ])residpnt of the Students ' Associa- tion. Elise Bass, presented Dr. an Hoose with a handsome traveling bag, complete in its equipment. He seemed to appreciate greatly this evidence of our love and esteem for him. He acknowledged the gift with a gracious speech that endeared him the more to the hearts of his girls. He told us the gift was particularly appropriate, for it would be a con- stant reminder to him of his girls when absent from them. The occasion was a delightful one and will not soon be forgotten by any of those who were there. 153 The Society Play have been given was the presentation of usual scenes in a union station by the members of the Polymnian Society. The various characters usually seen in a large railway station were perfectly depicted — the ragged newsboy, the harassed mother of eight, policeman, chorus girls, traveling men, ye unsophisticated lady from the country, ' tlie deaf lady — all were tliere. Between scenes a charming series of advertise- ments was presented. The old-fashioned girl representing Community Sil- ver, a lovely little maid with white furs and violets for Fairy Soap, a beau- tiful suit of hair was of course tile result of a constant use of Danderine, etc. After the play an oyster supper was served in the college dining-room. The jjroceeds of the play and supper went to the society hall building- fund. The Little Minister N December the fourteentii, the Eunomian Literary Society was delightfully entertained by scenes from Barries Little !Minis- ter. It was dramatized by Myrtle Flannigan, a talented student in expression, and was presented by members of tlie society. The society hall and parlors, where the play was given, were tlirown together and artistically arranged for tlie occasion. The play consisted of three scenes. The connecting links between which Myrtle Flannigan gave by way of narrative. The first scene opened with the meeting of Babbie, the Gypsy girl, and The Little jSIinister. In the second scene Gavin Dishart finds in Babbie a tender and sympathetic heart and he realizes he has found his ideal. The third scene brings the climax, where Gavin realizes that his love for Babbie, though a Gypsy, is dearer to him than the strict doctrines of his Scottish churcli. Tlie Jjlay was unusually well presented and very much enjoyed. Cast of characters was as follows: G. VIN Dishart __________ Willie Duane Thomas Babbie _______________ Ruth Stamps Nannie _____________ Cobbie ]Mae Dean The Deputy ____________ Annie Lois Smith Officers of the Police — . nnette Alexander Caroline Harris Evelyn Roan 154 The Hallowe ' n Party TORTUOUS stairway, icy fingers, moans, the rattling of bones and liorrible faces, grinning from every shadowy corner — these were tlie greetings that the scared little ghosts received who dared to accept the invitation of the Seniors to the Carnival of Witches. There were ghosts, ghosts everywhere ; tall ghosts, short ghosts, fat gliosts. thin ghosts, gliding in every direction. Finally we managed to assemble in the Gym, which was a veritable land of the spirits. The walls were lined with corn and autumn leaves. Jack-o ' - lanterns peeped from every crack and crevice. There were apples to bob for in tubs of water, marsh-mallows to bite out of flour and huge striped sticks of candy, hanging just out of reach of our mouths, and peanuts, popcorn and oranges were in evidence everywhere. Miss Ruth Britton gave us the story of Tam o ' Shanter and we were chased by the Headless Horseman in our dreams during the remainder of the night. 155 Thanksgiving Day HeL£NH . • ' IShpti p liaur gatlirrrii in tl r 3tix t ai ttip SJaitii ur kprp a ifrast unto tlif IGnrii. The mtinbers of the Ju- nior Class who had charge (if the Thanksgiving Day program at Shorter made it, indeed, an enjoyable occa- sion. During tlie morning serv- ice was held in the Chapel. .it which Dr. Van Hbose made an inspiring address. The remaining hours before dinner were given to walks and rambles in the woods. At two o clock dinner was served. The dining room was a scene of autumnal splendor ; the walls were covered with ividly-colored leaves, pine and cedar branches, togeth- er with shocks of corn which were banked in the corners and over tjie windows. Shaded lights shed their soft icold- 156 til tints over the perfectly-appointtd tables, each of which held in its cen- ter a huge pumpkin filled with fruits and nuts. The favors were mints tied in shucks with ribbons of green and gold, the class colors. The menu cards were tiny Shorter ])ennants. also in the Junior colors. Six delicious courses were served, between which toasts were given bv almost every table. An added charm to the occasion was the delightful nnisic furnished throughout the meal by Nixon ' s Orchestra. The day ended with an exciting basketball game between the Preshnien and .Tuniors, and although the Freshmen were the fortunate winners of the game, the Juniors were the honored ones of the day. !? ii t 157 The Society Bazaar HE society bazaar! Wasn ' t it exciting! Urged on by a spirit of friendly rivalrj-, botli the Polyninian and Euno- niian societies strove to arrange their booths more artisti- cally and to have a larger display of dainty and useful, articles. Enthusiasm rose high, for this money was to be used in the building of the new society hall. The Rome people came by the score and bought our wares. The refreshment booth was indeed attractive to the young people. Sandwiches, salad and candies were sold, and the evening proved a great success. The total amount made by the two societies was four hundred and seventy- one dollars. The plans for the hall have already been submitted and we are now sure of beginning the building this year. The Chri mas Tree HE lia])piest afternoon the Shorter girls have spent this year was the twentieth of December, when a hundred little children froui ' est Rome came up to a Christmas tree given in the gym- nasium by the students. They all assembled in the Chapel first, and were entertained with recitations and songs. Then, to the strains of a lively march, tlrey filed into the brilliantly lighted gym, in the center of which stood the tree. It towered to the ceiling and was literally loaded with gleaming, shimmering balls and strings of tinsel. Oh, those happy baby faces ! Every little one received the gift for which he had written in a letter to Santa Claus, besides a bag of fruit and candy. At dusk the happy throng left for home, leaving behind them even more than a Christmas-tree full of joy among the girls. 158 Lee ' s Birthday HE Birthday of General Robert E. Lee was beautifully celebrated on Monday evening, January the nineteentli, in the college auditorium. The program, which was arranged by tlie presidents of the two literary societies, was as follows: A reading, The Sword of Lee, Ruth Britton. The Story of the Confederate Flag, Anne Goetchius. The Land we Love, JVillie Dtiane Thomas. Professor Hogan then gave a masterly and instructive address, Lee, the Man. The program was closed by a scene from Thomas Xelson Page ' s Red Rock, dramatized and presented by the members of the Dramatic Club in such a way as to give an interesting glimpse of the lives and customs of the Virginia people during the time of Reconstruction. Madame Fannie Bloomfield-Zeisler lOXDAY evening, .January the twentj ' -sixth, Fannie Bloomfield- Zeisler gave a piano recital before an enthusiastic audience that crowded the college auditorium. Madame Zeisler ' s interpretation of the effective and exacting program of piano compositions was in full accord with her reputation as one of the most brilliant and talented artists of the present day. Her wonderful technic enables her to overcome all difficulty, and the beautiful and varied quality which she displays charms and delights her hearers. In a program of such great interest it is difficult to select any one number as having aroused greater enthusiasm than tlie others, for Zeisler fascinates one in all she does. But possibly her powerful and dramatic interpretation of Schubert-Liszts Erl King brought lier listeners more closely under the spell of lier wonderful art. 159 HE Alabama Glee Club gave a delightful entertainment at Shorter on the twenty- first of Februar} ' . This club has vis- ited us for many years, always under the auspiees of the Polymnian Society, and its coming each time is anticipated with great pleasure. This 3 ' ear the auditorium was crowded with girls. and friends from the cit}- and all were delighted with the unusually good concert. The club presented quite i novel feature this season — they called it The Bottle Special — in which they played several songs by hlowing various sizes of bottles. After the program, a reception was given the Glee Club in the parlors. Kules were suspended and the evening was fully enjoyed by all. 160 The Welsh Choir X MONDAY t tiling, I ' diruarv the second, our follriic i-om- iiuiiiity was tiitcrtaiiicd by the Royal Welsh C ' lioir wliicli. lui- diT the direction of Madame Thonias. gave a delightt ' uj and unique ])r()grain in the eoUege chapel. The t ' resli. bright girls, in their ' elsh eostuines. sang with the eh.iraeteristic sweetness of their native land. Tlieir selections were varied from our own Southern airs to Welsh folk- songs. Madame Lebadie On .Monday e ' ening. March tiie sec- ond. Madame Lebadie gave us a beauti- ful presentation of Ibsen ' s A Doll House. ' Her interpretation of the play and impersonation of the different cliaracters were excellent. In the great- ness of her art one forgot that it was art. so natural it was. Her voice and her form were servants to her thouglit ; one saw only tlie ])erson she portrayid — one experienced every emotion of tlieirs. The truth that Ibsen brings out in this wonderful drama was forcibh ' iin- l)re.ssed on every one in the audience. It was a treat to have witji us an artist so gifted as .Madame Lebadie. 161 Shorter People ix Miniature ;■■-■' ■- v. rvs- m 5 : % 163 The Old Shorter Club E arc the relic:? of antiquity, the reinnaiit tliat has survived the strujigles and hardshi])s of a great crisis, such as tile moving of our beloved college from a hill-top in the city to another and more lie.-iutiful height in the suburbs. Three years have- passed since that momentous event took place, and we have our new coJlege-home. surrounded as it is by all that is love- liest and best in nature, yet our hearts turn e er to dear Old Shorter ' ; our minds will revert to tin- liap|iy days spent there. To some of us those mem- ories center about the cottages; dear little (ireen Gables. Bcllcview. ' Hiles House and Brooks Hall. .Many pleasant recollections cluster, too. about the leiniis courts, where tile girls of the Rome High School now hold sway. Louise Bennett was luir champion in tennis in those days. How madly excited we were, how l!;ip))y. iiow the air was filled with our class- songs, when she won against the Academy champions, and the red and black ' went down in di ' feat before the purple and gold ! The graduating class of 191 !• is the last one. now, whose members, entered as Freshmen at Old Shorter; still the memories of our first home remain with us. Xor will they ever lie obliterated.

We discovered that a demand existed for artistic print- ing of the highest class, so we purchased the best modern machinery that brains could devise and money buy. Our equipment being complete, we engaged the services of ex- perts—men of proved ability in photography, art, type- setting, color printing and book-binding. Ours is the Only Organization in the South equipped to take up a booklet, catalog or college annual at its very in- ception and carry it to successful and artistic completion. We do all the work, and therefore do not divide responsi- bility by farming out parts of it. Prices are neither the highest nor the lowest in dollars and cents, but are as reasonable as possible, consistent with the service rendered. We solicit an opportunity to serve you.
