I belie e in the curse ot ignorance, in the dignity of learning, and the joy of serving others. I believe in wisdom as revealed in human lives as well as in the pages of printed books, in lessons taught not so much by precept as by example in ability to work with the hands as well as to think ith the head, in everything that makes life large and lovely. I believe in beautv in the h ome, in the class-rooms, in the work-room and in the influence of God ' s great out-of-doors. I believe in laughter, in love, in faith, in all distant hopes that lure us on. I believe in the present and its opportunities, in the future and its obligations, and in the divine joy of living, here and hereafter. P iac Six ®I|p Argo taflf Efiitors-in-CJIiicf.

Suddenly a small book bound in blue and black caught my eye and I picked it up. Across the front in gold letters were the words Class of 1920. Immediately I opened it and began to read. On September 19, 1916, the train pulled into Rome bringing the class of ' 20. Though its members were destined to be green, they were not as bad as some. They soon caught on and took their places in college activities. At the first class meeting Miss IMignonne McLellan of Durant, Mississippi, was elected president. There were ninety-eight members in the class, the largest Freshman class of Shorter up to that time. After the election of officers and the organization of the class, they began to be heard from sure enough. After midnight one cold night just before Christmas every Freshman slipped noiselessly from her room, down the laundry steps and through the basement to the power house for the celebrated Freshman feast. Sophs and Seniors suspected something, and Miss Lydia Dixon ' s bathrobe left in the rush on the laundry door led them to believe that the thing they suspected was taking place in there. Search they did! High and low through every inch of that dark base- ment, but nothing did they find. Meanwhile old ' 20 was peacefully feasting in the power house. Another event that brought joy to every Freshman that year was the winning of the ' olley ball cup. They fought hard for it. but they won and forgot the fight in the joy of victory. Then came the wonderful day of all days for Freshmen — Vashington ' s Birthday. Freshmen toiled early and late practicing and decorating for that event. Besides the program in the dining-room, The Life of George Washington was presented in the chapel after dinner. Thus the Freshman year closed and the class of 1920 became Sophomores — wise and full of pep. The president. Miss McLellan, did not return, and Miss Elizabc-h Hardman of Commerce, Ga., succeeded her. One night just after school opened while everybody was at dinner. Sophomores went to every Freshman ' s room and took all the shoes that could be found, even to bedroom slippers. These were all carried to a safe hiding place and next morning; the Freshmen were invited to select their shoes from the huge pile in the court. Though the fight was hard, blue and black kept its place on the ' olley ball cup that fall. One night in autumn the Seniors entertained the entire class at a AVeiner roast ir. the woods back of the college. Then came Valentines with its cupids and its hearts. The program consisted of a court scene in the palce of the Queen of Hearts where ever body was gay and happy. Xot long after ' alentine the practice for the stunt began. One night everybody went home from practice with a broad grin on their faces and at four A. E things began to happen. Sophomores slipped down dark stairways and through still darker corridors to Miss Alexander ' s class-room. The pass word was given and they were allowed to pass. Xot a word was spoken till all were in. Then the door was closed and the feast began. The Sophomores had their silent feast and went back to their rooms unchallenged. Next day to celebrate the Seniors issued a copy of the Blazer — their own exclusive paper. Page Twenty-six nl Two weeks before coninieiicenient, at four-thirty every morning some one came down the hall calling, (iet up Sophomores. It ' s time to go for daisies. Slowly Sophomores got ready, took their waste-baskets and went out to snip, snip daisies. Finalh enough were gathered and the da came to make the chain. Sophomores arose at five A. M. and cut and tied daisies till almost lunch time. The chain was finished and carried in the procession to Maplehurst that afternoon, where the Seniors willed to their Sophomores the sole right to their paper — the Blazer. ' ou know there isn ' t anything that evolution can ' t do, so at the end of the year the class of ' 20 was changed from Sophomores to Juniors. The first thing that happened in the Junior year was the inspection and adoption of the class of ' 22, which was done without hesitation, for they were found to be a fine class. Thanksgiving came with all its work and fun, and to cap the climax the war ended, and then the program planned for the occasion xas too inappropriate to be used. Frantic Juniors set out two weeks before Thanksgiving to plan another, and it was iome job to get it up, but they whooped ' em up some more and got there just the same. Late in the fall the Juniors entertained the Freshmen at a party in the Gym. Th; guests were dressed to represent nursery rhymes and Cinderella in pantomime was given by the Juniors. That year the class presented for their stunt an original mu- sical comedy entitled So-So. In the spring the president. Miss Hardman, resigned, and Miss Lydia Dixon of Richland, Ga., was elected president of the class. The end of the year brought the exciting event of choosing Sophomores and with fear and trembling each Senior asked her Soph. Thus through three long years the class of ' 20 toiled and struggled to the heights of Seniordom. The entire class took up its abode in Senior Hall and became very dignified. The first Sunday everyone wore caps and gowns to church and almost choked to death before they got back. This class enjoyed the distinction of being the first class in three years that had got out an annual — the others having given them up on account of the war. One night not long after Senior sitting room was fixed up there arose a great commotion in the hall at rec and everybody rushed out to see what had happened. On the table was a X ' ictrola tied with blue and black and marked from the Sophs. Truly there has been music in Senior Hall ever since. After exams the work on Senior play began and all Seniors realized that their school days were nearing a close. Commencement came, diplomas were received, and the class of ' 20 met no more. Slowly I closed the little book and laid it back on the shelf. The History of the class of ' 20 was ended. Clara Brown, Historian. Page Twenty-seven m xar (Elaas Colors: Blue and Black.

Richland, Georgia. Lydjer has been with us thru the years. She might in fact be called a land mark. She arrived at Shorter in ye olden days when the academy was in existence and has spent her baby-hood, girlhood, — in fact all her life here. And one of the best things we can say about Shorter is that it has given us Lydia. In athletics she is almost indispensable. She is one of the best guards a Varsity Basketball team ever had; alert and full of pep on the Volley ball court; quick and accurate at tennis; and, never fails to knock home runs in all the baseball game . Lydjer is not only a peach in the athletic field, but one of the best of students. She has original ideas about everything and can always put them thr i. ' Tis danger ahead for the freshmen or sophomores to whom Lydia pays much attention. She is a wonderful dancer, a most enthralling conversationalist, and possesses a natural charm altogether irresistable. If you ' ve ever been sat-upon once by Lydia, you ' ve had your share, for you have a hard time getting up again. She can hand out sarcasm in huge doses if necessity demands, but she usually has a reason for it. Lydia works hard and plays hard, and shows an exuberant spirit in all she attempts.

Clarksdale, Mississippi. Lummox has gained notoriety this year tor her deft handlinR of freshmen. Her room- mates come in for a share of reflected glory for some liberal friends attribute to them a share in the magnetism that seems to draw certain freshmen to senior tables. Here is a little secret about Lummox. She has favorite foods and pet theories. Her favorite food is tuna fish, and the aforementioned tuna fish was the source of much worry to her suite mates, for in their very hungriest moments they were unable to entice a can of it from Bess ' closet shelf, — they fished but it would not bite. We can ' t tell you much about Lummox ' s pet theory. Vet, this we do know, it has to do with the Ford — especially the Ashford. Her mind is often diverted, however, for we see her moseying thru the halls as if she wished that her Shipp would come in. Bess is our only senior in expression. She is very talented in this art, but it is not her only accomplishment for she is skilled in the art of making friends, and keeping them. Her genial spirit and sweet disposition have made her one of the most popular girls in school. Honors: Eunomian. President Eunoniian Societv. ' 20: Vice-Pres. Eunomian Society. ' 18- ' 19 Pres.

Birdie has come down to us from the Class of Nineteen and yc;i may be assured that we feel justly proud of her. She has shown her determination to stick to the job until it has been finished bv coming back to finish this year since she had to return home last year before the close of the first semester. Pretty?— Dainri? — Did you say? Well, Birdie is all of that. She always looks as tho she has just jumped out of a band-box. Birdie seems happiest when she is — no, not working — but just having a good time. Good time constitutes for Birdie a wide range of activities too. If its a dance or a midnight feast, or better than all, a Kid initiation, then Birdie ' s right there on the spot. Her love of fun, tho, does not make her lazy, for almost any hour of the day you can see her periscoping around looking for material for the paper. Birdie always has a good word to say about everybody and never any criticisms to make. And if you ever want anything done, just call on Birdie. She ' ll be there with bells on and you can always depend on her. Honors: Pnlvmian: Kid; . ssist. Edt. of Peri.scope 1919- ' 20: President Doctors Daughters ' Club 1916- ' 17. Page Thirty-one LYRA COOK, B. S. Hamilton, Georgia. Back in the dark ages there came to Shorter, not the ordinary verdent self- assertive fresh- man, but a timid bashful freshman, in full possession of a will power of her own, and indiffer- ent to mankind — which saved her being dubbed the ' ' susceptible freshman. Coming to Shorter Lyra applied for the B.S. Degree and in the Study of the Bug she has shown increasing enthusiasm and marked ability. Perhaps it was the attraction for dissecting which caused Lyra to add to her B.S. degree a doctor ' s degree, for Lyra is better known as ' Doctor Cook. Having for her room-mate and play-mate The light that never failed — Lit Harvey — it is no great surprise to discover the various accomplishments and charms with which Dr. Cook is bountifully blessed. During her four years career at S.C. her friends, and they are many, though she still pos- sesses the semi-attractive quality of semi-indifference, Dr. Cook has more distinction and ad- miration, not only in scholarship hut in social life upon the hill, both of students and faculty members. Not only can she mend heartaches by her healing art, not only can she play away the blues by the deft manner in which she touches the keys, but her gurgling laug-h, character- istic of no other than Dr. Cook will enter not only In the heart of a Girl but in the heart of a Fred, aussi.

Ptit e T iirly-liio WEETELLE HARVEY, B. S. Columbus, Georgia. Our ' Lit has lit up the path of Kids and various classmen in her four years sojourn at Shorter. Her electricity is generated from a storage source — a mixture of dimples in the chin and an everlasting good spirit within. Her remarkable powers know no limit, for even the monk feels that all the world is in utter darkness unless she is well lit-up. She is a person of many accomplishments, but to the amazement of all her friends, who well know her great aversion to gym ; she brought another one to light at the beginning of her Senior year. On a certain night in September she made a record run from her room to the room of her unsuspecting suite-mate, who innocently walked out and met the incentive for the run — none other than Misis Kenn edy. Seriously, though, Weetelle shows remarkable housekeeping ability — not only being on the A list for two years, but doing a most unusual thing, maintaining a Cook without any trouble. Weetelle always looks neat and her ever ready smile is a joy on Senior Hall and in the rooms of all her friends. Honor: Polymnian; Pres. Kid Club ' 20; Bachelor: Huckensputt: Fla.-ililiglit. Page Thirty-three MARCiARET CUMMINGS, B. A. Lela. Georgia. Ladies and Gentlemen, we would have you meet our Chauffeur! She ' s another one who has been at Shorter since the dark ages and experienced all the trials and tribulations of academy and college life — but all this time she has been interested in developing skill in driving her car. The poor little Buick has had a hard time up here, and it is very glad it ' s life is drawing to a close. We only hope it doesn ' t close before the year is over. Margaret is dignified, you have probably noticed. She is perfectly at ease anywhere and discusses an subject freely — philosophy with the faculty or feasts with the freshmen. Her versatility is quite amazing. We have noticed a particular fondness for argument in Margaret ' s make-up. She is espe- cially wise regarding moon-light scenes, and we would advise you not to suggest, no, not even hint that Japanese lanterns put anything over the ole Moon in adding conducivene ss to love- making, or you would immediately find yourself all balled up her arguments would prove so vital. Margaret is a good sport and in for anything. We neglecetd to tell you that the dignity, tho natural, has a tendcncv to fade away when she approaches Senior Hall and her brain is remarkable in concocting mischief. Margaret inspires confidence and trust, and she has a multitude of friends in the student body and faculty.

Georgia. Jetta made her first appearance at Shorter in the dear old academy days. At Shorter she has learned everything from how to spell cat to the method of solving the most compli- cated economic problems. -And in the intensive study of so many things Jetta has found that she is talented in a great many lines, especially knitting. Jetta loves a joke, though she never acts as if she saw the funny side of anything. You can always locate Ajetta by the laughter which her dry humor calls forth, wherever she goes. If you wish to excite her just ask to see her senior pictures, they created quite a sensation and caused , ietta more than a little trouble. Her wit and constant good humor have made for her many friends who gladly welcome her in their midst. We predict for her a life of fun and jollit and wish her the best of luck in it.

Whether you choose to call her Lina or Lima Bean, it ' s just the same to this happy-go- lucky Emalinc of ours. Being verv good natured and very pretty, she has won fame for herself along several lines. We would like to call attention to her ability as Tailor Young as being especially promi- nent. She dragged the poor Seniors into her room, slapped their caps over their left eye-brovps. hung the gown on their shoulders and exclaimed in eostacy: Oh! It fits beautifully — looks grand on you! Then giving them a kick, she sent them reeling out of the door. ' ' Ema has one thing to distress her. All her friends have the marrying fever and she has been known to agonize over the announcement of a friend ' s wedding ior hours. We are not sure that Lina will make a man a good wife, because she is not a home- loving soul. Her suite-mates have frequently been confronted with difficulties as a result of her roving spirits. Ema has been preparing herself to be School-Marm, but of late she has come to the conclusion that her big blue eyes should not be wasted on children when she could run a tea- room and put them to a much better advantage. Emaline is always in a good humor, and wherever she is, she will have a host of admirers. Honors: Polyrnnian; Granddaughter ' s Club; S. EpsiU O.

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Mary, you ' ll need no further introduction, tor Mary is one of the easiest girls in the class to meet, and once you ' ve met her you ' ll like her. We did. Mary ' s chief charm lies in her e c-s, which she uses to particular advantage, especially in the presence of unsuspecting freshmen and sophomores. That popular song, What do you want to make those Eyes at Me for, was writen for Mary ' s special benefit. If you want a fight on your hands just mention her hair. From flowing- golden locks of freshmen days it has diminished with alarming rapidity until, at the height of Seniordom our Mary has only a strand which causes great concern on the part of admiring friends and great disgust on Mary ' s part. She has succeeded in convincing the entire student body that she Is the most intellectual girl in school and we ' ll tell you a secret. It ' s true. Not that evident kind of intellectuality that appears on the surface, but the kind that goes deep down and really counts. If you are out for a good time and want someone to join yo u, just call on Mary, she is always up for something wild, and not even a trip to the junction in the earliest houi s of the morning can phase her. Taking her all in all, she ' s a good sport and a friend worth having. Honors: Polymnian; Kpsilon Delta; Editor-in-Chief Argo ' 20; Playwright; Secretary Y. W. C. A.

Page Thirty-seven CHRISTINE JOHNSON, B. M. Wash i ngtov, Georgia. Johnson is sure of just one thing in life — that she isn ' t going to he an old maid. Now we will admit that chances are strongly in her favor, hut we do recall days when she was afraid that the wheel of Fate was beginning to turn against her. But why bring up such a delicate subject when All ' s Well That Ends Well. Christine has had quite a time selecting an appropriate nick-name for herself, and after looking carefully through a number of annuals, chose several attractive ones, but we, who know the deep, dark secrets of her life prefer to call her ' ' Hoppy or Underfed. There is just one thing that Johnson is proud of, and that is her voice. Her sweet good morning to you sung anywhere from low G to high C is the joy of her room-mate ' s heart, and her frequent threats to give a Junior recital put us all on good behavior. All joking aside, John.snn is a birn musician. If you have ever been to Chapel you ' d agree with us, for she plays the organ with a master hand. And did vou say friend? — Then it ' s Christine you want, for once she ' s your friend, she is yours for life regardless of what people sa , and that in itself goos a long way toward mak- ing our Johnson popular without considering her other charms. She is a good sport, a true friend, and an all ' round girl — What more can you ask? Honors: Polymnian: Epsilnn Delta; Student Council ■lfl- ' 20: S. ( ). S.: P ' la.

The humanizing of lisheth has been a long, tedious process, but we believe our work has not been in vain. She arrived in Shorter with her head held high in the air, and a cold hauteur that would have made an icicle look like a sea of Hre. We soon penetrated the mask, though, and found ' ' Liz a congenial companion. There is one mystery connected with Lisbeth ' s life at Shorter which has kept the school in a state of perplexity for years. She has a cedar chest on which no one can sit, nay, even touch, and which is always locked. What is in it? Clothes? No! Since we found out through the . ' rgo Detective Agency, we will lay bare the secret of the Cedar Chest. It contains two articles, and only two. The first of these is a Queen of Hearts Costume. We suppose this symbolic of a position Liz longs to hold since article two is no more nor less than a wed- ding veil. This seems rather premature, and the only way we can account for it is, she plans to use it immediately. We are no longer joking, though, when we tell you there are few girls more capable than Liz, and she has made an enviable reputation in all college activities. Honors: Polymnian: Ep.

' Tis a peculiar combination, -ou ' ll admit, for one famed in the game to be at the same time extremely fastidious. Now don ' t thiiik for a second that the fastidiousness lies only in dress, for she is most exacting in the food line. Nothing short of Smithfield ham and eggs at 90c per dozen can satisfy her. Because of all this, or for •■ime reason, the doctor advised Sara to have an operation, so she could play Miss Invalid a while and have all she wanted sure enough. The plan worked wonders. Sausage, cake ' n ever thing began to pour in upon us. Her main part lies in house-cleaning. In fact, we believe she enjoys tearing up to get a chance to demonstrate her ability to make things l x k spick and span. Then, too, it does Sara good to give other pconle something to do and watch them work. All those who wish to re- main idle — Beware! She ' s dangerous. Sara, the iyict, has her iwn ideas.

Wilma is no hermit, Ave are firmly convinced, for as soon as she hears footsteps in the hall she begins to squeak Won ' t you come over to our house so fearful is she that those ap- proaching will forget to visit her. And Wilma has extensive hours on her ' ' at home card. They begin at about four a. m., and if you don ' t visit her at this hour, it isn ' t her fault. The aforementioned song is softly wafted on the morning breezes until her room-mate is awakened, and at this unearthly hour so keen is their sense of humor that they are able to stumble around for half an hour giggling at every breath. At the end of this time, if the early morning callers have not arrived to add to the blissfulness of the scene Miss Wilma starts out visiting herself. She is not infrequently greeted Avith shoes, shower baths, etc., when she enters a room. She is a fairly good cook, and this is very expedient for prospective wives nowadays. It is doubtful, though, if this would help a good man out much, for if the habit formed in youth lasts on she would most likely refuse him an entree into his home for a day or maybe two at a time. Capricious or independent, would you say ? Wilma has always been fair and s |uare in dealing with girls, and she is not only admired and respected but loved throughout the entire student body.

ScoTTSBORO, Alabama. Chapel is the greatest of Fletcher ' s worries. She claims that it is here ' a fool and his money soon part. Every time she goes there is some kind of a drive on, to which her money goes, and she insists that it is better to be restricted for not going than to he broke. Rinktum (she acquired this name because of her fondness fur making rinktum ditty ) is the most obliging person at all, provided you approach her in the right way. Few under- stand this wav of approach, however, and woe unto those who try to enter by the wrong gate ! ! ! Strutter is rather small, neat, and looks good in her clothes. She is talented in many ways, her chief capacity lying along musical lines. She surprised her piano teacher by the marked ability she showed from September to Christmas her freshman year — we wondered our- selves how she mastered her notes so quickly (she claimed not to know them when she began) for not until this year did she admit that she had begun taking piano lessons when first re- moved from the cradle. Sleep! Well, Fletcher knocks it off! She spends every available moment during the day in the Land of Nod, snoring like a mountain lion. The same old faithful Big Ben has exer- cised its lungs for the past four years to wake her up for her next class. • Mways in a good humor and ready to laugh with anybody at any time, Fletcher is one of the best companions that can be found.

Under- stand that we do not say that other ways do not exist. We ' ve just been unable to find them. The plan that works is to knock her down with the hint that she is lazy, for which you vril! get a ghastly glare, but which will separate her even from her beloved bed. Why this works so well we can ' t explain. Perhaps Amelia thinks as long as you can be lazy and get away with it, all right, but she hates being found out. Amelia has acquired a little pet name in her suite of late — Scraps. It is all her own fault that this fell to her lot, so don ' t sympathize with her. Had she not become a victim of the roving habit she would not have returned home every night when everything had been eaten and had to resort to the few scraps left to appease her ever increasing appetite. Heaven only knows where these hours of idleness are spent when she should have been in her own suite. Amelia is too popular and has too many admirers in the student body for such an ex- planation to be made possible. And if it is a good student, or a regular athlete, or a good sport or a true friend you ' re looking for, you ' ll find all these qualitieii embodied in Amelia. Honors: Eunumian — S. O. S.

Libby is getting to be a regular preacher, but unlike the majority of her profession, she has plenty of Dough and never has to worry about her salary. Libby will be always remembered for her work as president of . V. C. A. and her un- tiring efforts to raise that organization to a standard of excellence. And as for music — well, Libby Is a song bird. She takes great delight in practicing for her voice lessons, especially the exercises. In future days we will watch for her appearance in grand opera. Dignified, did you say? Well, rather! She seldom loses her dignity for a moment, but once in a while when the flnnr is wet and soapy it gets somewhat uf sct. This dignity does not in the least detract from her kind and gentle manner which will cause the class of ' 20 to always remember her just because she ' s Libby.

How do you account for the fact that this girl and her room-mate have each a Bub who is one and the same, yet these girls are not related? ' Tis a subject that has been discussed at great length on Senior Hall, hut not without the putting together of the puzzle. _ ■ ■ -. Bess is one of the musical members of our class. She spends hours of her time in the Con- servatory vocalizing or writing compositior s. Bess has a voice of unusual quality, and she is bound to make a place for herself in the world of music. Anyone who has heard her trill- ing around high C drowning out pianos — even orchestras, as it were, can have no doubt as to her possibilities for an operatic career. Bess loves to sing and is willing to give others the pleasure of hearing her without having to be coaxed or persuaded. Honor.s: Polymnian — President of Clioial Club ' IS- ' IS and ■19- ' 20.

She is always going to lab, and guess what she is interested in — the analysis of hot choc-olate! Nell is very gifted in many ways, especially in knitting. She started a sweater not long after school opened and believe me, it was a fast race to get it done by Christmas, nevertheless, she gets there, if you give her time. Next to lab, Nell spends her time de igning dresses and working in the sewing room. Lucky for the man who marries her, when you consider his pocketbook, isn ' t it? As you will no doubt see, Nell has many accomplishments. She plays Volley ball, basket ball and tennis, and we think she has been seen on the b. ' vseball diamond.

It has been rumored that her postotfice box rent is going to be increased on account of excess mail. The large number of friends which M. A. has is one of her notable characteristics.

If the vie and t«o dozen tin cans «ere rattling at the same time in ' Senior Den that shrill scream Amelia, are you at home? c-ould be easil heard above it all. Elma has only been at Shorter two years, and we feel that we have been cut out of a great deal by not having her with us when we were freshmen and sophomores, for whatever she does is done well and enthusiastically, and she is in for anything. There are few girls more popular among their friends than Elma. She is always the cen- ter of a gay crowd and her jests and puns keep things going all the tiine. A joke will appeal to her even at two A. M., and we claim that ' s going some. We wonder that Elma as small as she is can know all she docs, and the best part of it is that she isn ' t a bit stingy with her fund of knowledge. French classes, Spanish classes, and all kinds of classes flock to her room during study hour to be taught their lessons. Elma is an all around good sport.

During the four vears at Shorter Mathtton has had two serious troubles. The fear that if she didn ' t lock the door at night something awful would happen to her and the fear that someone would see her senior pictures before she did.

Mattie is another one of those heartless brutes who find pleasure in carving up the poor harmless dumb animals in the pursuit of scientific knowledge. We understand tho, that there is always a praver said before the dirty work begins, the length of which is determined by the size of the specimen being experimented upon. We would not dare ass Mattie ' s career as an athletes by unnoticed. It is in this field that during her Senior year she has been able to burst into glory (we neglected to say, however, in practice games oni . ) If any one wants to l:now how to give an intelligent discussion in a ' ' lit class on plays they haven ' t read — just rsk Mattie — Her intuition regarding the plays of Shakespeare is marvelous.

We are not responsible for the part of Sadie that hasn ' t been developed. For years we have struggled to make an athlete of this buxom lassie, but all efforts proved to be in vain. Sister Mint even jumped center on the basket-ball team — Scrub — trying to induce her older sister to come out on the field, but even this availed nothing. Sadie we are inclined to believe is a suffragette, at least she possesses some qualities that make such suspicion plausible. We have noticed on many occasions a tendency on her part to assert her rights rather forcibly — ' twould be unwise to try to run anything over her.

Well, that ' s the simplest of problems, I.ide, of course. She ' s our night hawk. Whenever anyone tries to slip around after light bell along about 2:00 A. M. they always — never known it to fail meet Lide pokin g her nose in everybody ' s room to sec what the prospects of a feast are. Liiie came into our class when we were Sophomores — Gee! it makes one shiver with ten fold- regret to think that had Lide only been with us when we were freshmen, probably the sophs would never have pulled their feast so silently She too has an affectionate nature and we understand that she continually haunts some friends pcros., the hall for a good night kiss. After ail tho, Lide is the most generous hearted of girls, she seems happiest when doing something ii.r her friends. Her aconnnplishments are not few. She sings and plays exceedingly well, and best of all, Lide is an ever loyal member of the class of ' 20.

Page Sixty-onf RUTH SHEPHERD, B. A. I ' nadu.i.a, CjEORGIA. At Shorter there is a custom handed down since time immemorial wherein a Senior chooses a Sophomore to be her Sophomore. To this Ruth formally complied, but there is a love that surpasses understanding existing between this Senior and a Junior. Hard hit beyond the limit is all we can say. But then we know Ruth has to bestow her affection on someone. Ruth declares she is going to teach school next year, but — will she? It may be so, but we predict for her a career of practical demonstration in domestic science. We hope, Ruth, your disposition will be as unruffled in the future when cares become manifold, as it has during your four years at Shorter, for it has won for you many friends.

We realize how suitable this name is «hen we remember that Rosa ' s chief trouble has al- ways been her complexion. At the most inopportune moments those tell-tale blushes will show thtemselves. When Rosa is missed from Senior Hall she can be readily found — either in biology lab or more likely in room 202 Hall 2, where lives a Friend. If the possibility of a test can be conceived of — depend on Rosa to sound the alarm. We wonder if she ever went to a class without exclaiming before entering the door — I believe we are going to have a test! To avoid being forced into having to contribute something to the Periscope we ' ve found it necessary to walk a mile out of the way to keep from meeting Rosa. Rosa is a good student and has made a splendid record at Shorter. Honors: Polyninian — P ditor-in-Chi : ' f of Perisetipe. ' iy- ' 2U. Page Sixty-tliree £LISE LOVVORN, B. A. BowDE.v, Georgia. ' Does Elise Lovvorn ever study? What? I sav, did vou ever see Elise studying? Absolutely no! but what of it? Only this, that she has carried as much work as the ColleRc allows every year since she has been here. Her Sophomore year she was a profes- sional Jack thrower; her Junior year she turned her talent to hooks and withstood Miss Ben- nett ' s hardest dailv questioning. How manv courses has she flunked? None. Do you mean Shorter is so easy after all? Good Gracious, No! Elise has the sense to get a B.A. without working for it! One more question, please, where did she get her information about the Garden of Eden? Oh, vou boob, from . ' dan4s. What kind of a girl is she? Why, she is the best sort. She has humor, for she always laughs at a joke if you give her time enough. Then, too, she can appreciate the lovable qualities in- people, if they write poetry to her. But did you ask about Elise Lovvorn, or Elise Frances Lovvorn? Elise Frances Lovvorn. Oh, pardon, she is the finest sort ever. All her friends will agree that she has not a sign of a yellow spot in her make-up, anybody who loves her Dad as she does, would be all right if she had no other characteristic worthv of note. Her list of friends is neither narrow nor short, for it reaches from New York to San Pedro Sula, Spanish Honduras. Central . ' merica, and covers many states between those points.

Why, don ' t you know? It ' s only Aurelia drawing another one of those weird tales of her from the depths of her imagina- tion. She ' s merely entertaining Moore girls in the sitting room on Senior Hall. ' Tm so worried, we heard Aurelia say at the end of her tale, for fear Moore will leave me. Have no fear Aurelia. for you are dealing very economically with Margaret. We really didn ' t knovf you could applv your economics so prudently, and to think you gained all this knowledge from vour favorite studv with m cramming! (Sorry you had to spend all your time boning htstory.) Nevertheless. Aurelia is one of the most serious-minded and sympathetic members of our class. Her kindness and generosity are known to all, and there is no one to whom she would not extend a helping hand. These characteristics and others, such as a sunny disposition and a sense of humor make Aurelia one of the most lovable girls on Senior Hall.

Although she has been a member of the class of 1920 only a year, she has adapted herself to our ways and ' 20 holds a place in her heart. Eunice does not live on Senior Hall, and if you want to see her, go to her room or to the postoffice. Her chief pastime on Shorter Hill is writing letters. Never a day goes by without Mr. Hull bringing her three or four letters. The chemistry lab will be incomplete next year without Eunice Furse. For six years she has been making experiments.

Though Agnes is from town and we don ' t see as much of her as we wish we might, we know she has always been a loyal member of the class of ' 20, and like her for her niiet, modest ways. When it comes to work, Agnes Ts always there with bells on and is never unprepared for her classes. She is not very talkative and hence speaks little in class except when called on but then a ready answer is never lacking. There is one mysterious thing connected with Agnes. She doesn ' t like for her picture to be seen — not even a kodak when it is good ? ? ? ? Agnes is ready for fun when it ' s time for fun. She believes in the old saying ' Laugh and the world laughs with you, and lives up to her belief. H  nort Kununiian. Page Sixty-seven MARY JULIA WOOORIFF, B. S. RoMEj Georgia. Marv Julia is one of our town girls and for some reason, we wonder why, there is such an attraction in Rome that we can ' t get her to stay out on the hill with us much. And most of the time she spends with us she stays way up in the chemistry lab , another thing we can ' t acct unt for. We appreciate Mary Julia all the more because she honored the class by making an especial effort to be graduated with us. She spent most of the summer vacation at Georgia Summer School to be with us this year. Well, any a , from all accounts we hear, Mary Julia didn ' t have such a poor time. In fact, she nearly played havoc in the vamping line. Along with other accomplishments Mary Julia has a splendid voice. She show-s the same willing spirit to entertain her friends by singing for them that she does in everything. If it is a ride to town you ' re looking for, Mary Julia is always glad to take you in her car, or if there is anything you want done, she is just the girl you want to see. She has al- ways manifested interest in College activities and been ready to lend help at any time. Honors; Eunomian. I ' age Sixty-eight ISOBEL WILKERSON, Rome. Georgia. B. M. We never see much of Isobel as she lives in to«n and only stays at the college durint; school hours. However, she is discussed and talked about quite a hit when she plays in Chapel or in a recital, for she is indeed a talented pianist. She has studied music at Shorter several years and has made remarkable progress as the years have rolled by. Naturally, most of the little time she is at the college is spent in the Conservatory, where we suppose she is practicing or writing exercises for harmony class. Isobel is conspicuous for her quietness. ' Tis hard to believe that any girl could talk as little at Shorter and get along as well as Isobel has. She is hiding something behind a this silence though, for she is greatly admired by all those who come in contact with her. We re- gret that she has not lived on the hill with us that all might have known her as only a few have. Honors; Kunomian. Page Sixty- nine OIkHB J rnplifrij Up, ever upward we sored til the landscape below us became indistinct as it faded away in the moon-light. Why Dr. V ' an Hoose, where in the world are you taking me in your aeroplane? These 1940 models surely beat the record for speed ! I didn ' t tell you, he replied, when we started but I thought per- haps you might like to visit the ' Office of the Shorter World ' , now located in the moon. On the moon did you say? Good land what are we coming to next? Here we are! Step out, take this periscope , he said, and this index book of names and directions may aid you in ascertaining any information you desire. Well would you look at that sign! ' Lectures and Lessons in Sentimentality ' . A Cummings. And, if there doesn ' t sit Ajetta with a young man, beside the fountain of youth in that sunken garden of hers. How well do I remember those sentimental lectures Ajetta used to deliver to us on Shorter Hill years ago. I had hoped she had changed now. And who is that farmerette driving the cows home? Why that ' s none other than Mintie Wilson, now chief organizer of ' The Dairywomen ' s League in Tennes- see. Whoever thought her ideal would ever be materialized to that extent ? Lets turn it now toward the Northland. Do I see corectly? Why Dr. V an Hoose who would have dreamed Weetelle Harvey would ever be a Ballet Dancer in the ' Cafe ' de Paris ' on good old Broadway. Her song ' Tune for the Tuneless ' couldn ' t have made a bigger hit. And pray tell, who is that middle-aged lady wearing spectacles and standing on that soap box near ' Times Square? ' Dr. Van Hoose replied laughing, Why it ' s Katie Ruth, advocating ' Rights for Women. ' Still holding her own as on Shorter Hill , I remarked. For goodness sakes, do tell me who that lady is with such a wan and weary expression teaching Domestic Science in Pratt ' s Institution. Why, its Emmeline demonstrating on the young what she wished to do on Mr. who. Why Dr. Van Hoose she always said she was going to marry above all things. But, Replied Dr. Van Hoose, the night before her wedding she sang for her ' fiance ' , ' In the Gloaming ' to the tune of ' The Lost Chord. ' That was sufficient for him. Oh the irony of fate ! Strains of music reached our ears just then from the Metropolitan Opera House. Oh, who can it be Dr. Van Hoose? Isn ' t her voice wonderful and that gown surpasses anything I ever saw! Why, didn ' t you know , he replied, that Elizabeth Alford is a bright ' Ray ' now in the operatic world? She ' s a prima donna and even surpasses Haley ' s comet in brilliancy. I always thought that Bess Boyd would be 20 ' s prima donna. No , he replied, her brother — nicknamed ' Bud ' thot too much Vage Seventy of her to allow that. She often sings before large audiences in Atlanta and Hartwell but her Ra didn ' t blaze a trail as far as New York. Mercy, who ' s that performing all those acrobatic stunts in the Hippodrome? Isn ' t she wonderful — look — Vou know ho that is, don ' t you? That ' s Julia Marsh Ringly. said Dr. Van Hoose, at Shorter ' Shooting the Chutes ' . And look at that bareback rider! Lx)ok closely! Can it be possible that she is Myrtle Barber, the ' Raby Wonder ' of the Circus who is so wideh ' advertised? It most assuredly is. Well who would have thought it! Isn ' t that the most adorable doll ' s house overlooking the Hudson, Dr. Van Hoose? Within people seem to be moving. And look, there is one whom I rec- ognize who is posing for a doll now. Why, its Birdie Hill. A better model couldn ' t possibly have been foimd in the good old U. S. A. Let ' s look across the Atlantic. Who ' s that rushing around Russia bearing the sign, ' Hope for the Hopeless ' . It ' s Mrs. Roscoe Smith, of course, nee Cedilla Wilson. She is meeting with wonderful success and we are proud of the work she is doing. And who ' s that delivering that wonderful address before those learned pro- fessors in Edinburgh? Why it ' s none other than Mattie Kimbrough who holds the Chair of Bugology in the Celebrated University of that city. And just look at that Parisian model in ' Au Printemps ' in Paris. Those gowns are exquisite and that jewelry must be beyond valuation. Who can it be? Why don ' t you remember Sara Edna Adams, said Dr. Van Hoose, 20 ' s constant admirer of clothes? Lamar discontinued his love for her and she fled to gay Paris. A crash, followed immediately by — I ' m simply furious reached our ears just then from an art studio in Paris. We looked and there stood Olivia, her statue oi Venus lay broken in pieces at her feet. Oh, does my art have to go as my heart? , she moaned. Just look at that lovely shepherdess on the hillsides of Palestine, leading her lambs to pasture! She seems to be reading something, Dr. Van Hoose. Yes, the old, old story — the same old story she met with on Shorter Hill. It ' s only Lydia reading another of her ' Treatises on Love ' . Her book is now almost ready for publication in several volumes. Squeals seem to be reaching us from dear old Georgia Dr. Van Hoose. I do wonder — oh just look! Isn ' t that little Squealer, Vilma is holding, just the most adorable thing you ever saw? We are glad her desire so often expressed on Shorter Hill is at last fulfilled. Here, chick, chick, chick comes to our ears. It seems to come from North- east (jeorgia. Vell I would have to look at Math! Whoever thot she would have a large Consolatory Pullet Farm on her brothers vast estate? What next? u 41 Page Seventy-one Of all strange places for a home on the forks of that road between Miami and Montezuma! Vhoever would have thot of building there except Ruth Shepherd who was. She always did say that was the ' Chosen Spot ' for her. And look yonder at that little white school house Dr. Van Hoose. Just then out prissed Miss Aurelia, her collar standing as erect as she — she who never spared the rod nor spoiled the child. Into her Ford on the edge of the meadow she sedately steps. Chug, chug, chug and away she goes bumping along to her mother ' s home down the line. Thank goodness Dr. Van Hoose. I ' m on high. I never saw a place so infested with cats and parrots. Let ' s turn the periscope quickly! Rang! That sarcasm hit the other end. Who in the world is that instructor? Why, it ' s Rosa setting the universe astir. So much so, that Rosie continually demon- strates to maidens how to use their vocal organ properly so as to emit the gi latest volume of sound, in other words she is teaching the Psychology of Sound. I just knew that she would make some practical application of her psychological mintl. We ' re glad at last she has learned the theory of voice raising. Why are all the people rushing to that street corner Dr. Van Hoose? Listen a moment and ou will know. he said. Oh, what wonderful music. How beauti- ful Lide looks in that Salvation Army Uniform! I ' m so glad she ' s giving her talent so freely to the world. She used to be one of the kindest and most cheerful workers of the class of ' 20. 1 remember now. Shorter may well be proud of her. Look, both houses of Congress are meeting in joint session ! Vhat a stunning woman is deli ering a speech. Listen — a speech on ' What ' s what in America ' ! Look in ' Who ' s Who ' and you ' ll find whom : Iiss Hess Valton, who was — is repressnting! Best wishes to thee, maiden with the dark brown eyes. Rock, rock, rock — oh Fletcher you ' re rocking the chair. At last, we believe ' When Dreams Come True ' . N ' er will we forget those days, long since past but not torgotten when your chief ambition was to change your name to ' Rinctum ' and to rock your life away. Sorry it couldn ' t be fulfilled in single belessedness but Cupid cast his darts all too deeply, doesn ' t he? Roll on, thou deep and dark blue ocean, Roll, we hear thee and our periscope is turr.ing toward thee now. Out eyes are wandering along thy shores. There stands a lone figure on the vast expanse of thy sand. Vith eager eyes she pierces the dis- tance. Who can that be Dr. Van Hoose? And his quiet response was, Elizabeth Hardman. Each night she goes there hoping and praying — but ' He ' has never yet retu ' ned. On Shorter Hill, I seem to see a new building Dr. ' an Hoose. Why ha ent you hea ' d oi our splendid acquisition? , he asked. ' ou perhaps remember your classmate Elise Lovnorn ? She became heiress to a million about five years ago and built that splendid structure for doctors. Shorter is giving an M.D. degree now and Dr. Elise is one of our leading physicians. Miss Sutton, who was, is now assisting; her husband, the foremost chemist in the United States, whom we succeeded in getting Pa e Seventy-tuo to Shortt-r as lu-ail of the Cheniisti Department, onl thru her influence. She gave the funds for the new Chemical laboratories ten years ago. She certainly under- stood the use of chemicals in more ways than one, didn ' t she Dr. Van Hoose? -And Miss McLendon whose name still remains the same, he continued, has just returned from the battlefields of Thibet and is now superintendent of the Nurses ' Department on Shorter Hill, thru Xeel ' s influence too. She is indespensable to our surgeon. Got her experience, I reckon as chief advisor to the ' Rat Killer ' on Senior Hall. Goodness, is that Clara Brown carrying her little tin money box the one of which she was so fond on Shorter Hill? And , as she used to remark, I brot it with me from Xoah ' s Ark. Vhy haven ' t you heard of her fortune? , said Dr. Van Hoose. No, do tell me! AVell just watch and see where she is going. At that moment, Clara ascended the steps of the Federal Reserve Bank in Atlanta, unlocked the door and continued on her way to the president ' s office. And the words on the door told the tale. C. M. Brown, President. The result of being an honor student at Shorter, Dr. Van Hoose remarked. ' Our life is what we make it, ' flashed across my mind. Why are those service stars in the window of that house in Washington, Georgia? , 1 asked Dr. ' an Hoose. And they seem to be of gold . You may remember Christine Johnson, a member of your class in college? And he quietly continued, Last year during the Mexican W ar, you undoubtedly read how the big battleship (Georgia struck a floating mine near ' era Cruz ? Her husband who was commander of this battleship was lost during the explosion, likewise two of her sons who had enlisted in the Navy. She has only four left now, two at Darlington and the other two at home. Perhaps boys aren ' t so much trouble after all! AVho is that stunning woman directing that ' Shark Exhibition in Bridge Pas- sing ' ? was Dr. Van Hoose ' s astonished reply. Oh, I was speaking of Auction Bridge, Dr. Van Hoose. Why it ' s none other than Mary Christie. I do now remember seeing her name in the New York Times as social leader since the death of Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish. That lady going dow n the streets in Monticello certainly is having a time with that umbrella. I believe the wind will reverse it yet. It has, and do look who ' s try- ing to hold it. Eunice Furse. Still having the same trouble with umbrellas, aren ' t you, a; you had on Shorter Hill? Strains of music seem now- to be coming from the Auditorium in Rome. Dr. an Hoose it ' s Isabel Wilkerson who is giving that wonderful concert. Have you heard anything about Agnes Warters lately? She was another one of our Roman classmates. ' es , he replied, look toward Decatur. There is Agnes now. She has been profesor of the History Department of Agnes Scott College for the past fifteen vears. Page Seventy-three Would you look at that niagiiificieiit roloiiial home that has been erected on Esom Hill, Dr. Van Hoose! Even Brewsters millions seem to have invaded our class. Kathrjn may be able to give you more abundant information, Dr. Van Hoose replied and smiled. I can ' t seem to get away from that incessant murmer that comes to my ears. AVhat can it mean Dr. ' an Hoose? Why look, it ' s Mary Julia trying to teach the pupils in the Cave Spring Institute how to talk. On one of the streets of Washington, D. C, I seem to see an elegant new theatre. The electric sign reads ' First Class Vaudeville. Let ' s peer within. No. It has just been placed on the proscenium, ' My Georgia Rose ' — sung and acted by a living music box. Look quickly, Dr. Van Hoose. The curtain is just rising and A. Walker appears. Oh, Help — A. Walker giving acrobatic stunts and trying to use properly and in unison the voice issuing from the music box. She surely has the gymnastic dynamic voice — perhaps diction, but oh, such tones!! ' There seem? to be another flashy sign farther up. ' Indifference Personified! Chief Advisor — Cook ' . She surely did use to cook people with it in her college days. Information bureau. I. Terry. The result of being so accomplished. I remarked. Aren ' t there any more names in the Index Book, Dr. Van Hoose? Yes, he replied, there is one Moore anyway, one, who perhaps even has moore to her name. Oh, I know to whom you ' re referring, but I never thot she was Earnest about that at colle ie. But one can never tell. Ferdie always did keep us guessing. We cer- tainly could never judge by the splendid connections she made from Shorter Hill to Atlanta. Better success followed her in the future than during the fall of ' 19. Darkness seems to be enveloping us. Dr. V ' an Hoose. Were it not for that one wee spark of light that I ' ve been following for the past few minutes it would be a story of ' The Light that Failed Us ' . I ' ve been chasing that speedster and I can ' t get this periscope focussed properly yet. There was but one member of our class who believed in perpetual motion. And she always did exceed the speed limit even when it came to breaking Cupid ' s darts. It surely is Margaret in her ' Gym ' car. How Recche she must be! Life surely is a mixture of ' Ups and Downs ' , isn ' t it Margaret? Keeping still never was in your curriculum on Shorter Hill, but Reeche ' s always was. The headlights are continually growing dimmer. Slowly the last ray of light faded and darkness prevailed. I felt myselr gradually going lower and realized that unconsciously I had stepped back into the aeroplane and we were decending toward the earth. Elma C. Dominick.

A. has adopted ! Iay Bell Cole, one of the little orphans at the Baptist Orphanage at Hape ille and each season supplies her with sufficient clothing. The greatest work, however, is probably done in the Mission Sunday Schools of Rome. A great deal of enthusiasm has been manifested along this line and a large number of girls have taught classes; others have siuig, painted inspir- ing pictures, furnished flowers and done personal campaigning for members. As never before Shorter girls felt the true spirit of Christmas. They sought to give presents to those who were really in need and to pour out their spirit with their gifts. A Christmas tree was given in the college gymnasium for the children of West Rome, and there was not a child forgotten by Santa Claus. Besides this, money and clothing were collected several times during the year and given to those who were in need. The Religious Work Department endeavored throughout the year to plan pro- grams which would bring home to the girls their call and responsibilities as young women of the New World Order and to arouse their sympathy for those who needed their love. The World Fellowship Department had the same end in view in plan ning its work. During the past year the ' . W. C. A. has sought to teach and influence the life of every girl in the college and to have a part in sending each one out hearing The Marks of a Vorld Christian. The work of the year has not been what the leaders would have had it be, yet there has been a measure of success. They have tried to point toward the goal and pave the way for the future members of the V. W. C. A. so that they may more nearly approach the ideal, which is the high purpose of the association, — that all the members shall be united in loyalty to Jesus Christ and strive fnward that abundant life through Him. For he has said, I am come that ye might have life and that ye might have it more abundantly.

That the same spirit has always meant so much to Polymnians and which alwa s will mean so much to them, manifests itself in every meeting through each member uho has pledged herself ever loyal to the red, white and green. It is the purpose of Polymnians to always lend their eii[orts to the growth and development of every member of the society. To this end, the programs for the year have been planned. They have been the study of the lives and writings of modern poets. There have been some very helpful and interesting programs. Occasionally there have beei meetings in which programs of a different nature were given and they have added much to the most attractive evenings spent in our society hall. It has been our privilege to have with us at times, some faculty members who have given us some most interesting and entertaining numbers. Through it all there is that indefinable spirit, known as the Polymnian spirit, that is cherished by every Poly and dreaded by her foes. It is that same spirit that draws an old Polymnian back to Shorter, and gives her Polymnian Blues; it is that same spirit that has proved -he deciding element in the college lives of so many girls, and caused them to wear her colors. On pledge day, when those new wearers of the Red, White and Green enter Polymnian Hall, they catch those irresistable strains and sing with an earnestness that never fails, an enthusiasm that never ceases to grow, and a pride justly felt by every Polymnian.

It was to this call that the Eunomians rallied in the E Hair at the beginning of this year with a bunch of new girls that we could trust ; who speedily entered the society spirit of enthusiasm and work which has al- ways characterized the Eunoniians. The programs this year have been exceedingly instr uctive as well as entertain- ing; various phases of the world war were studied, including its cause and effects, as well as amusing songs and incidents from the life of the A. E. F. An interesting feature of this latter phase were vivacious and instructive talks from members of the College comnnniity who have seen work Overseas. The latter half of this year was devoted mainly to the study of the One-Act Play, the life and dramatic style of a certain author being taken up at one meeting, while at the next one of his plays, was presented. These plays, in their context and in the manner of their presentation, were both amusing and entertaining, as well as developing an usually so little empha- sized branch of the drama. The meeting, however, although they were always en- tertaining and quite often exceedingly novel, are not all of a literary character, for many of them are numbered among the social events of the year. Now, with such a profitable and influential years behind them, the Eunomians are ' ready to enjoy their vacation with high hopes and aspirations next for the Green and Green.

It is true we were granted a holiday in memory of our country ' s Father and the freshmen were to entertain the college at dinner in honor of the dual event. Still such trivial commonplaces as a holiday and a banquet were nothing compared to the ex- tertain the college at dinner in honor of the dual event. Still such trivial commonplaces as a holiday and a banquet were nothing compared to the ex- pectations aroused over the game with Atlanta Y. W. C, A. Atlanta Y. W., the very mention of which sent tremors of fear through many of the colleges and institutions of Georgia; that far-famed basketball team, unflinchable and unbeaten in their own court — to dare them was to dare certain defeat, so said many, and yet Shorter ' s Varsity six, untired yet courageous, was to meet them in open combat that night at eight. E.Kcitemcnt raged like an epidemic through the college community even the varsity, hidden away in the infirmary and bidden to be quiet were infected with it, badly, and paced their rooms like caged ani- mals. The poor Freshmen, with the added burden of the evenings entertainment upon their young shoulders were almost overcome. The Atlanta Team and its rooters arrived dur- ing the afternoon and were escorted, with due cere- mony, to all points of interest in Rome, and later, still attended by infallible courtesy, they did Shorter. The banquet was a huge success although, coming as it did, immediately before the game, it is doubtful if any one was conscious of anything, save a maze of music, lights, laughter and many voices. Never before in all its history, had the halls of Shorter College looked down on such en- thusiasm, such excitement and unconfined hilarity. Page One Hundred Twenty-six By eight-tliirty the gym was packed with girls bubbling oyer with good olc ' Shorter pep, and the loft, temporarily transferred into a grand stand was crowded to the guards with the oyerflow from the floor below. When the State Champions trotted out on the floor, followed by the Shorter Varsity, several hun dren tongues suddenly ceased their activities, while the referee. Miss Adams of Cox College, sounded the whistle and the game commenced. That game was watched in silent, but breathless interest and only at the end of each period was the pent up en- thusiasm allowed to show itself in cheers, songs and yells, and in this form of exercise the Y. W. rooters had to admit themselves defeated and out- numbered. The star palyer of the evening was Walker, who held 2i points to Williams close sec- ond of 22. The line-up was: Shorte r (45) Post Y. W. C. A. (16) Williams (22) R. F. Launiers ( ) Walker (2i) L. F. Weber (?) Davison S. C. Thompson Wilson S. C. Chamberlain Dixon R. G. Morris Lamkin L. G. Reiley Referee Adams, Cox College. W ith a score of 45 to 16 the Atlanta boasters of infallibility had to admit themselves a wiser and a sadder as well as a defeated team. But they were a plucky bunch, taking their defeat like true sports- men, although they vowed in the same breath, that when the game was returned and Shorter met them on their own court they wouldn ' t and couldn ' t wear a second time, the colors of defeat. They put up a good fight, however, and made a brave attempt at their usual victory, while their cheering was a joy to all beholders, although they admitcd their lung capacity was limited. Hardly had the loosing team departed, before ne- gotiations were under way for the return game, to be played in Atlanta at some early date. So the return game was played in Atlanta, March 10, and this time — definitely and positively wrested the honor of State Champion from the Y. W. team. If excitement ran high at Shorter during the first game, it almost knew no bounds now when the final decision was to be determined. The college team was followed to the scene of activity by a goodly Page One Hundred Twenty-seven minibcr of rooters infusing Shorter Pep into all they met by their spontaneous enthusiasm. And chief pep infuser was Dr. Azor Warner Van Hoosc by now a confirmed basketball enthusiast. Much speculation was aroused and much interest attracted to the game by Dr. Van Hoose ' s refusal to allow members of the other sex to view the fray. As a consequence, reporters swarmed from all parts of the city to beg admission and to spread the re- port of their refusal with a liberal tongue. This game was much more hotly contested than the former, the score being 25-23. Walker again starred witli 17 points to her credit, to Williams 8, while the Y. W. celestial lights were somewhere in the rear. Davison jumping center for Shorter against Y. W. ' s famous jumper Hoopla Thomp- son showed that far-famed young lady what it real- ly was to jump centers on a basketball team. When the final score was added and the tension broke vic- toriously, for .Shorter, those rooters from the col- lege nearly went wild. The line-up for this game was practically the same as for tlie former combat: Shortei (25) Post Y. W. C. A. (20) Williams S R. F. Launius 6 Walker 17 L.F. Weber 14 Davison J. C. Thompson Wilson s. c. Chamberlain Dixon R. G. Morris Lamkin L. G. Reiley Miss Adams of Cox College again acted as referee. After the game the Y. W. girls tendered a ban- quet at the association rooms to the Shorter team and its followers, and such a banquet! The team liasn ' t caused to talk of it yet, for it was the first real food they ' d been allowed since the dark ages when every action was considered from the stand- point of the game. The banquet table was in the form of the letter Y and appropriately decorated in the white and gold of Sliorter ' s fame. Jonquils and narcissus in graceful baskets formed the floral decorations, while the place cards were clever little pen and ink sketches of girls in basketball costumes and poses. Yellow and white ribbons completed the color scheme. Toasts were drunk to the fame of the vic- tors and the endeavor of the losers and all agreed with an Atlanta reporter that, if there is any girl ' s team in the land that can beat that Shorter Six, we would like for somebody to trot ' em out, for Shorter, Shorter! Shorter ' s got a basketball team! ' Page One Huiuirrd Tiventy-e ' if ht nttor laskptball ® am 1Q19-1Q20 CHAMPIONS Amelia Walker - Ca t iin Liiie-Up Ossie Robertson, ]. C. IViariaiine McClendon, S.

Moore Recording Secretary Miss Eva Cantrell Corresponding Secretary Miss Cordelia Veal Treasurer Miss Rosa Hammond Splendid plans and visions of future work exist in the minds of Shorter ' s enthusi- astic alumnae, who now acknowledge that the time has come for action, for the realiza- tion of these plans. Mobilization should be the watchword of the association. What a tremendous force for the broadening of the sphere of influence of the college would be the united effort and interest (jf almost two thousand college graduates, the kind who call Shorter Alma Mater! That Shorter Alumnae are beginning to realize this fact was proved by the large attendance and interest manifested at the annual business meeting held last June in the college parlors. It is apparent that the one great object now to be accomplished is the thorough organization — mobilization so to speak — of the alumnae compared to that of all other activity seems at present unimportant, because that is the first step toward the accom- plishment of the plan for raising an endowment fund. The local branch will form the main well to put in motion all the others. Let us alumnae see to it that not one of the other branches interferes with the perfection and harmony of the motion by mov- ing too slowh or ceasing to move. The Rome branch must lead in rapidity of mo- tion. Plans for another reunion are being made. Ne.xt ear ' s Argo will complete the storv. Page One Hundred Sixty-five Annual lanqn t nf Iprtrr Alnmnap Perhaps the most memorable occasion in the history of Shorter ' s Alumnae Asso- ciation was the annual banquet occurring on June 2nd, 191Q, at the General Forrest Hotel, Rome, Georgia. On this occasion the tliirty-five members of the Senior Class were honor guests. The ahair was notably beautiful ; elaborate floral decorations vied in brilliancy with college pennants all forming a setting for the one hundred and si.xty handsomely gowned alumnae. Occupying places at the honor table with Dr. and Mrs. Van Hoose were Mrs. G. M. Anderson of Ninety Six, S. C, 76; Mrs. G. F. Towers, North Augusta. S. C. ' 77 ; Mrs. F. J. McKa ' , Mobile, Alabama, representing two of the earliest classes on the roll of the college. Nearly every class was represented. That feature of the occasion which made it an outstanding event was the launch- ing of the Shorter y lumnae Endowment Fund movement. Acting as Chairman, Mrs. J. P. Cooper. ' 84, announced from the local branch .1 contribution of twent ' -four hundred dollars as a nucleus. Miss Blanche Williams, President of the Class of 1919, announced a gift from her class of two thousand dollars. College spirit can high and the jAlumnae Banquet 1919 paved the way for an even more enthusiastic meeting on Alumnae Dav 1920. Page One Hundred Sixty-six III ilii ltll it ' J - . • 1- It is sprinji, with all the resplendent glory that is implied when we say it is spring on Shorter Hill. Almost over night the dull brown of winter gives way to delicate green, purple, yellow, pink, and hundreds of other things which seem to make it a warm, fragrant spring. There have been other springs — yes, but to us none other such as this, for it is to be our last. Consequently twilight always finds us wandering aim- lessly about the campus arm in arm or sitting in groups in Sun Dial Court, while long silences intervene. For the present it is enough that we are all together. Just as one likes to linger over the last pages of a book she has enjoyed, do we try to turn more slowly the pages in the final chapter of our College Days, but even these must pass and the pages turn in spite of our efforts. E.xams are over and commencement is on — our commencement. Friday night brings the Shakespearian play presented by the Shorter players, but we are too keenly aware of another pla ' which is to be presented to enjoy this one as much as we might. Saturday finds us making preparations for the Big Show- — Senior Pla ' — will it be a success? We wonder. It is growing dark, and the big auditorium begins to be filled, while behind the scenes the final touches are put on. The curtain rises before a breathless audience, but not half as breathless as we, for the reputation of the class depends upon the success of the play. Time seems to have closed until at last the cur- tain drops on the final scene. A sigh of relief and a song of Thanksgiving go up from the entire class, while the playwrights receive the laurels for the work well done, which are justly theirs. Page One Hundred Sixty-sei ' en There is a general commotion on Senior Hall, for there are chokers to be fastened, caps and gowns to be adjusted and we must not be late for the commencement sermon. Finall the long line starts for the Chapel and we file into the front benches to hear the same advice that we have heard for three years ' past, but which, this ear. is meant for us. It is insufferably hot, as all Commencement Sundays are, and the advice falls on unhearing ears. Our thoughts are all of the future. At last the sermon is over and the crowd turns toward the dining room. A few stolen glances toward the visit- ors ' tables to be sure they are not looking and off come the chokers, but even this does not relieve that choking feeling. Perhaps it is because we realize that we are dining together for the last time as a class. Be that as it may, there is a strange hush at the Senior table which has ne er been there before. Monday morning we are awakened b ' strange yet familiar noises. Half awake we are unable to account for such commotion at that early hour, when suddenly we realize that it is class day. With a clear conscience, for we have had our day of it, we turn over and drift peacefull back to sleep, only to dream of daisies and Sopho- more days. Four o ' clock and we don our caps and gowns with just a touch of sadness. The classes gather in front of the Academic building, while from the realms of the laundry the Sophomores appear triumphantly bearing the daisy chain. The long line forms, Seniors, Sophomores, Juniors, Freshman and we all start for Maplehurst. The crowd has already assembled and to the strains of Hail, Dear Old Shorter, another class takes its place in the big Semi-Circle on the front porch of Maplehurst. Page One Hundred Sixty-eitiht Cla?s songs, prophecy, history, last will and testament, all are given, and now our Sophomores are returning our rings, but they are to keep forever that which the rings symbolized. Another class day has passed and arm-in-arm Seniors and Sophomores walk slowly up the hill in the twilight while Shorter is lost in Shadows. Dinner o er. there is a mad rush for Senior Hall, for are we not to be the honor guests at the Alumnae Banquet? V e slip into our places a bit uneasily for, in the presence of these older daughters of Shorter, we realize more keenly than ever that we are about to gradu ate. The banquet is over and back on Shorter Hill the Seniors sit in groups, saying their last good-nights, when up from the Court comes that familiar tune, Good-bye, Seniors, and the snappy answer, Cheer Up, Sophomores, floats down from Senior Hall. Tuesda morning we linger for awhile in the halls after breakfast and while no reference is made to it, there is that same old feeling that we have had all spring, in- tensified a thousand fold. At eleven o ' clock, with all our Senior Dignity, we make our way to the Chapel for the last time and take our places on the stage to receive our rewards for four years ' work. Someone speaks, but we do not hear it. Finally the class stands, diplomas are delivered, hoods adjusted, tassels changed from left to right — there are tears but they are hidden — and as the big pipe organ seems to sob out Alma Mater, the book closes — our College days exist only in memories. Page One Hundred Sixty-nine l nrtpr Alumitar tn Wnr Unrk From the gates of our Alma Mater have gone women of whom Shorter may be justly proud, and of none is she more proud than of her Alumnae who so unselfishly gave their time and strength, not only in behalf of our own country, but also answered the call of a needy civilization during the recent war. Among those who entered in ' . M. C A. work overseas may be mentioned: Marion Dean, Class of ' 07, Rome, Ga. — ' . M. C. A. in France. Elizabeth Walter (Mrs. C. A. Bostrom), ' 16, Rome, Ga. — Y. M.

I was inclined to be- lieve that sometime was just another form of tomor- row, and would never come; and somewhere was the place that is not. But now I find that the person who wrote that song knew what he was talking about. What better proof of this do you need than that the class of 1920 at last has its Senior table — the reward which really came, sometime, somewhere? The reward is great enough, too, even after three years of being handed from one table to an- other like the catsup or the vinegar. At last we may sip our tea and eat our grits in peace three times a da ' . The average weight of the Senior class is going up every day, just like a thermometer on a hot day. Yes, three times a day the Seniors are happy, — supremely contented, — for three times a day do we gather at the Senior table, to laugh, eat and rub elbows. Just as Eskimos rub noses, so Seniors rub elbows. You ' ll find out when you ' re old enough. We often have some inter- esting little ten minutes lec- tures at Senior table, as well as some songs. Weetelle often speaks on Cave man stuff, or My friend Al. Fletcher loves to tell about all work and no play makes Jack a bad boy — Lyra sings to her- self a lot here of late, and the tune is usually My Bonnie lies over the ocean. Wetelle has yet anothr selection on The Difficulty of the Serv- ant Problem. Her Cook de- mands too many hours off. Sadie ' s voice box can hardly keep qviiet for she loves to sing that little song, Roscoe has been upon his rounds, and taken my heart away. Au- relia has lately given us a little Bible story about the Shepherd who neglected the flock and went in search of precious jewels. Here ' s hoping, Juniors, Sophs and Freshmen, that af- ter three and a half years wandering over the dining room, you may in the end be rewarded with just such a Senior table as ours and some of these days, when you are placed at a table that doesn ' t exactly suit you, just remem- ber that There ' s a glad day coming bye and bye. SENIORS WIN BASKET- BALL CUP. The Seniors were the vic- tors in a close game with the Sophomores Tuesday after- noon, February 3. Both teams were keyed up to the highest pitch and ready and willing to do their best to win. Both teams are to be commended and congratulated upon hav- ing such splendid players. The pass work of both teams was especially good. The final score was 2 to 2+. Since the Seniors won from the Sophomores and Juniors, and Freshmen it was not neces- sary that any more of the class games be played off. Line-Up. Sophomores — J. C, L. Cok- er; S. C, J. Collier; G., A. Wilson; G., G. Langston; F., A. B. Patrick. Seniors— J. C, O. Robert- son ; S. C, M. A. McLendon ; G., L. Dixon; G., F. Vaughn; F., A. Walker; F., N. Sutton. X-TRA! X-TRA! Maliiious Plot Discovered Warning Given Shorter College — .... Our friends from Atlanta have warned us through the daily papers that the Atlanta Y. W. is on the water wag- on. They have a great vis- ion ! They are building air castles, dreaming wonderful dreams — yea, verily, blow- ing bubbles. Pipe this clipping from an Atlanta paper and tremble for the fate of your varsity, O ye Shorterites : The members of the Young W omen ' s Christian Associa- tion squad, which is a mem- ber of the Senior Girls ' League, are in for a hard winter. Miss Adams, their coach, has ordered them to get in the dieting taxi and remain there until the season is over. Last season they didn ' t diet! It is said that when they went up to Rome to encounter the fast Shorter V they were met at the Page One Hundred Sevenly-three ! THE PERISCOPE train by the Shorter girls, who were dieting. The Atlanta girls were escorted from the railroad station to the college, where they were fed bon tons galore all during the day of the scheduled game, while the Shorter girls backed off and laughed at them. The time rolled around for the struggle. It was played and the Y. W. was defeated. Too many bon bons weighed them down and their pep left them. So that ' s the ultimate reason the girls will diet this season. The dieting order will be a rough one, but they would rather do it than to lose to Shorter this year. Well, perhaps to a certain degree this excuse offered by the Atlanta ladies is cor- rect. We don ' t doubt for a minute that the Y. W. was slightly lacking for some rea- son. If it were bon bons, we plead innocent of the charge. Bon bons on Shorter Hill! — that is a rarel ' used ex- pression ! And bon bons enough to feed six such bux- om lassies as the Atlanta Y. W. puts out — absolutely impossible! We thank them for the compliment. We frankly admit we never thought of feeding up such a professional team as the Atlanta Y. W. ! High school and prep teams might fall for such — but never — the Atlan- ta Hot Shots! Anywav, can bon bons explain that shake in Captain Peg ' s knees after the first two minutes of the game? Can bon bons account for Manager Dot ' s prayerful stare? And I ask you in all seriousness, ye Shorterites, can bon bons justify a score of 47 to 16? Then, what happened in Atlanta two weeks later! We honestly did not take any sweet little boxes of candy our Atlanta friends on that labeled made in Rome to trip — what was the trouble? Still feeling the effect of the bon bons they enjoyed on Shorter Hill? There are some things in this world that even the wisest philosopher cannot understan d — neither can Shorter College! The Shorter varsity made its debute last season and I mean it was some little ole debute! The Atlanta Pio- neers, champions of about all we ever heard of, and regu- lar basketeers,, came jazzin ' down to Rome to add anoth- er notch to their belt of vic- tories and incidentallv make Shorter look like an ad for l.?49 Rouge in the daily pa- pers! They did it — oh, yes, they did it — to such an ex- tent that Agnes Scott abol- ished the game of basketball entirely from their institu- tion; Brenau published an editorial upon the dangers of inter-collegiate basketball and Bessie Tift even eliminated gymnastics from their curric- ulum for fear the Shorter College champions might in- vade their midst. For this reason and for this alone, we can claim only one victory ! This year prom- ises to be a great one for the Shorter varsity ! We have a dandy good reputation to back us, a coach that has a few visions of her own, and a captain who knows how to make things hum! We have malicious inten- tions against the Girls ' Team at University of Georgia, against a school in Washing- ton, D. C, and against that friend of ours in Atlanta, the Y. W. C. A., and others! Captain Walker and the Shorter varsity need and want the support of every girl who loves Shorter Col- lege. It takes pep and en- thusiasm to make a team sweat blood for you and really want to do it! If you ' ll do your part and it ' s a mighty big one — this varsity of ours will do theirs and it is a bigger one still ! The pass-word this year is Shorter, Together we all will stand; The colors we fly are white and gold. We ' ll win — we know we can ! — M. Lamkin, ' 21. LIFE AT SHORTER. . As it might have been. A dusky maid in a coy white cap and apron raps gently upon the door. In her hand is a tray bearing one cup of steaming coffee, one plate of golden brown toast and two eggs. The faithful Dinah pushes open the door. Yo ' break- fast am served miss. A sleepy voice drawls ' ' All right — but go at once for my mail and tell Miss Kennedy to open the bookstore and send me my ten pound box of candy. That is all. And the young lady looks at her breakfast with a non- chalant air. Dinah gently taps again to bring in a big pile of letters and the candy. Tearing open a long blue envelope our college lady reads : Dear Miss Puflf Ball:— Your mathematics class will not meet today as the work is too hard for constant persist- ence- Miss Stevens will meet you at your convenience this afternoon for your English lesson. Mr. Naylor will be in his studio between the hours of ten and twelve, if ' 0U should feel musicall - inclined. Hoping you enjoyed the night ' s rest, I remain Respectfully, Dean Hicksan.

Hatchets, cherry trees, red, white and blue, colonial costumes and the Virginia Reel! Well, if they only have good food, I guess I can get through with it. A burst of music sounded from the orchestra in the hall as the doors were flung open. Well, for goodness salces, where is the red, white and blue — and I don ' t see a single cherry tree ! The entrance was a rustic colonial gateway twined with the proverbial morning glories of Washington ' s Home on the Potomac. A long archway of morning glory vines rose over the Freshman table. The glimmer of various hues formed a haze to soften further the pastel shades of the old fashioned flowers. Rose colonial draperies were hung over the windows over which vines were trailing. The delicate colored flowers crawled up the posts and looked over the tables. Ferns drooped gracefully out of their pink, white and green baskets, who se high handles were tied with airy bows of delicate colored tulle. A hand-painted colonial lady posed on the front of each menu card. A miniature corsage of forget-me-nots edged with lace paper and tied with black and gold ribbons was at each place. Tiny baskets of pink, baby-blue, and lavender held nuts and candied cherries. The touch of the patriotic element was furnished b ' a sole liberty bell. Into the quaint setting came a little boy and girl who couldn ' t believe that George Washington never told a lie or was as good as he was proclaimed. While they were discussing this, in stole the very little black lies which George told to give evidence that their suspicions were justified. A puff of wind blew in the blue, pink and laven- der flowers which George picked from his Mother ' s garden and denied that he did. Jimmey and Mary Jane looked on with growing amazement. As they caught their breath, blushing red cherries with their tufts of green leaves dropped in to tell their tale of being stolen and lied about. Pinch me, Jimmie, I think I ' m asleep, Mary Jane whispered, blinking her eyes. Alas, five faded beauties strolled in w ith their sighs and broken hearts to witness to the lover ' s unfaithfulness. He went away swearing absolute devotion, one of them moaned. And never came back to me. A succession of sighs followed and the ladies looked with wistful eyes at each other, all suffering from mutual disbelief in the man who had deserted them. I told you so, a little black lie confided with a shake of his finger and a willful toss of his petite black head, the republic has been fooled long enough, why — What is this I hear? It was Uncle Sam. Be gone, you little traitors! The wicked lies shrunk out, the flowers wilted and the ladies drooped their heads in shame. George Washington ' s champion had come with the thirteen original states and Columbia who sang of his worth and valor. All doubts faded away in the chil- dren ' s minds. George Washington is the father of our country, first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen. So here ' s to the day. The day of all American days the best, the day of the birth of Washington, Without which, worthless all the rest. Page One Hundred Sei ' rtity-six ■.. Page One Hundred Se-venty-seven Page One Hundred Seventy-eight Bt Habnttitr ALENTINES! For weeks before the fourteenth of February the bare suggestion of the day excited curiosity and brought forth much speculation as to what the Sopho- mores would surprise the school with in the way of decorations and entertainment. Since Valentine ' s has been celebrated at Shorter for years past, it seemed impossible that there could be left anything different that could be done. Vet for two weeks preceding this date no Sophomores were found loafing. Occasionally two of them would sneak off to town together and come back with great loads of mysterious packages of all sizes and shapes. After wondering and waiting impatiently for a seemingly interminable period the time finally came when the class of ' 22 burst forth in glory. Promptly at six-thirty the bell sounded announcing dinner, and the orchestra just outside the dining room door struck up a tune. Doors banged and the halls became massed with girls — pretty girls at that — and each one looking her best. As they frisked down the hall whispering excitedly, the shaded lights seemed to blend the soft delicate shades of blue and yellow, while a few deeper shades of rose and green bobbed up to lend color to the scheme. There was a faint mixture of oriental perfumes — not strong — and one could be perfectly sure that the good ' ole Hoyts had been replaced with gentler things. This glimmering mass of tulle and sequins floated into a dining room that was all light- ness, airiness and daintiness. From every direction hearts and Kewpies beamed down on the crowd. The Kewpies were cut out of card board in adorable designs and painted pleasingly pink. Some wore big sun hats, others held cupids ' darts, while others were just nice, chubby, laughing babies. A countless number of such types covered the walls and were strung down from the ceiling with red hearts interspersed among them. Still this was not all. On each table there was a large china Kewpie to preside and at each plate was placed a graceful tulle basket of red heart-shaped mints. A large space was reserved in the front of the dining-room where the program was pre- sented. About this vines were entangled, leaves scattered, and two or three logs placed to effect a woodland scene. ' hen the guests were seated the doors opened and the Princess Winsome appeared with her maidens to celebrate her birthday. In the midst of their singing and dancing the King and Queen came to summon the Princess and her attendants to the palace for the birthday dinner. As they tripped out gaily the Prince Charming and his hunters in despair over being lost in the forest drifted in that they might rest in the shaded spot. While they were seated on the logs knowing not what to do, Cupid floated in to console Prince Charming by telling him that before the sun had set he would meet his future bride. Princess Winsome. The Prince, tho doubtful, was a bit relieved, for he knew that on his wedding day his throne would be given him. The Nymphs came and danced and sang about him to entirely dispel his grief and bring him JOS ' . But even with their beautiful dances they failed to cheer the Prince. Then in the distance a crowd of gaily dressed maidens became visible. As they approached to the surprise and amazement of the Prince and his followers, he discovered that the were the Princess ' in- some and her attendants. It seemed that Cupid had charmed them both as it was love at first sight and the maidens and hunters, realizing the situation, withdrew leaving the Prince and Princess in the cave of Cupid who danced lightly above them. The last scene was the wedding day of Charming and Winsome. The King and Queen, the attendants, the nymphs, the hunters and Cupid were present to do homage to their new King and Queen with song and dance. The King and Queen of Hearts then beckoned all their sub- jects to a long table in the middle of their diningroom and their Kingdom of Hearts was thus begun happily. During the dinner it was announced that the Sophomores had arranved to have the orchestra in the gymnasium the rest of the evening for dancing. So the College Community ad- journed to the gym to dance and chat about Valentine ' s and the Class of ' 22. Pane One Hundred Sevenly-nine Page One Hurnlred F.iylity l allDUiV n s the moon rose over Shorter on October 31 and lighted up every corner of the campus, the two white-robed figures in front of the conservatory door loomed up tall and spooky. The crowd going to the conservatory screamed and ran past them with fear and trembling. Inside the conservatory it was pitch dark. Hands reached out from the blackness and grabbed at everybody as they passed. Finally the shriek- ing mob reached the top of the stairs and swarmed into the Gym. Instead of the customary Hallowe ' en atmosphere of darkness, and ghosts, and mystery, the G m was a veritable garden of sunshine and music. Big yellow sun- flowers with black centers hung from the rafters and peeped from the gold and white lattice work of the windows. In the center of the room was a golden pot covered with a huge sunflower. Gold and ' white lattice work cut off the back of the room and through the door one got a glimpse of Doughnut Land with big brown doughnuts on long strings dangling from the rafters. On the right side of the room was the stage where some remarkable modern dramas were presented. The first one, And the Lamp Went Out, was indeed a work of art portraying many recently discovered wonders of science. The second, The Morn- ing After the Night Before, was a huge success, justifying the name in every detail. Then there was a lovely musical comedy, A Pair of Swinging Doors Into My Heart, which ended as such comedies do when the right girl enters the door. Last but by no means least was the production entitled When the Tables Are Turned. In this loveh drama the members of the Faculty were called upon by the Student Schoolmaster to display their knowledge. The test set for them was the dif- ficult task of pinning a hat on a witch ' s head while blindfolded. Some of them made creditable marks, but a few of them failed to pass. Then the huge sunflower was removed from the golden pot and everybody re- ceived a tiny yellow pumpkin to which a verse predicting his future fortune was attached. At last Doughnut Land was opened and everybody was invited to procure for himself a doughnut by eating it from the string to which it was tied. Maids in white aprons and caps served cream at small tables decorated in sunflowers. When all was over the Sophomores picked the sunflowers, whose saucy faces still remind them of Hallowe ' en.

Page One Hundred Eighty-fh ' e i THE BLAZER Vol. IV No. 2 Issued by Class of 1920 of Shorter College Dedicated with Loving Kindness to Class of 1919-1921 LEND A HAXD. The Juniors appreciate the interest that the Sops arc taking in the Blazer. We have realized all along that they «ere rather unoriginal class — most of their energy being directed towards being cute — but we must admit that the Sophs have rather slammed their sister class since they have chosen the Juniors to imitate instead of their Seniors. Nevertheless the Juniors feel highly honored (????) that the Sophs take them as their grand example, and while we can not even grant to our fine Freshmen the honor of issuing a Blazer we deem it a privilege to extend a hand to the weak — thus allowing you to imitate our Blazer — and bv the way, Sophs, we have a number of songs, among them the well known Whoopem I p. We wonder when you will come forth with it. And allow us to add, dear children, that the Polymnians have a good song entitled My Mammy Tole Me, and the Eunomians one entitled Vou Must Be a Wearer of the (ireen, which you may care to use in the future. We ' re all glad to help you all we can and everyone is delight- ed to see that ' ou ' ve hitched vour wagon to a ST. R. ANNOUNCEMENT. We regret to announce the development of High Board Fence Number II. It exists be- tween the Sophomores who have Seniors and those who have not to such an extent that the latter are not even invited to the so-called Soph- omore feast. ALONE. When nineteen ' s last Senior has departed, And Sophs Marjnrie to ' ellsley has gone, When the last farewell has been nodded. And the Sophs have a look all forlorn. Sophs shall rest {??), and faith thev shall need it?? Keep quiet for a year or two. For they won ' t have the dear ole Seniors To take them to feast anew. And the Sophs without Seniors shall be miser- able. They shall sit with a vacant stare. And it shall be common knowledge That we give them the are you there stare, They shall have no cups to brag on. Nothing to mention at all, gut they shall continue their song thru the ages Well, we are a cute class , that ' s all! FEAST— DID VOU SAY? I ' he Sophs actually had a feast! that is, what they in ignorance think is a real sure enough feast, and the sad part of it is that they will never know the wild, thrilling experiences of a really Silent Feast in its true meaning. We are inclined to think that the Seniors might have been more kind and not smothered their only children up to their realm and fed them up in the middle of the night instead of allowing them to go forth alone to some distant spot relying on themselves. They had it and the Juniors can say that after the many troubles the Sophs have hsd during the past few months that they rejoice with them in their hapniness. It is disconcerting to have every class in school mop up with you, and Dewey, old girl, be happy. Now ' s your time. For the sake of the dear little Sophs we are truly glad that Junior feasts have gone out of date, for what would they do next year with their high-minded sisters gone? Listen. Seniors, how about a scrap of paper? and is this too deep for you to get the point? •PITY. One hardly realizes the various meanings em- bodied in such a small word. It was not a lack of interest that prohibited us from including this word in our vocabulary, but the fact that we have never had an occasion to apply this word to our class, and not wishing to be unapprecia- tive we take this occasion to thank the Fine olc Sophomores for their kindness in enabling us for the hrst time to experience the true feeling embodied in this word by Ole Twenty-One. ' e deem ourselves indeed fortunate that we so readily found a word which would express our true feelings for you. But that was not all. You were two-fold kind. Seeing is believing, we have been told, and for the second time in Junior history we have had oue idea illustrated when the unfortunate -Austrian flag was hoisted on our American flag pole, and when the Seniors carried forward Ole Twenty-One to Senior Hall so that the children could climb where. Evidently there is a dif ference of opinion as to where the unknown heights are. For the benefit of the Sophomore we print this little conversation: Miss Wendell: . nd what did the Sophomores have to eat at the feast? Margie Griffin: Chicken sandwiches, they say. Miss Wendell: Mostly tongue, I imagine. Sophs, just keep this Blazer until next year to aid you in getting up your stunt.

The doors of the dining room opened on the stroke of two, and even Steve, the head waiter, seemed to have imbided some of the spirit of the occasion for he looked rather spry, and thoroughly capable of keeping time to that feet-just-can ' t-be-still music of the Rhodes orches- tra. And such a room! It was hard for everyone not to believe that by mistake he or she (mostly she) had wandered into a woodland nook, all set and waiting for the fairy folk. The floors were entirely covered by a carpet of leaves, the varying shades of Autumn, and bright colored birds flitted everywhere from invisible wires and make-believe trees. The leaves in falling had stopped for a moment ' s rest on windows and tables and lent their brilliancy to the occasion. And in the center of each table strutted the noble bird, none the less representative of Thanksgiving because it was made of brown sugar and surrounded with mints. The guests had hardly been seated, when, in the distance sounded out the cheery notes of Hail! Hail! The gang ' s all here. And gradually the merry makers drew nearer and nearer until with much laughter and many shouts the gang hlr-zi- in. The camp-fire wa lighted, but the efforts to make life seem merry were strained and pathetic. The banters and jokes ceased and thev seemed lost in memories of other Thanksgivings of their childhood, and the pies that Mother iisrJ to hake. Then Bill and Flivver at the request of their leader, told in song the recipe that Mother used- And each ingredient mentioned, from the big red apple to the raisins and pecans, danced out to tease those hungry souls, and even dared to gather themselves together under the light brown crust, represented by the flowing skirts of a particularly graceful maid. But even as the closing words of the song Stir them all together and you heave a big old sigh, and everything is ready for your pie, rang out, the pie disappeared seem- ingly into thin air leaving the weary wanderers as hungry as before. Again they drifted back into dreams; but now their reverie was broketi by a song — not loud and hilarious like their own, but sweet and clear,wafting its way into the very hearts of the listeners. The leader demanded silence and thev sat spell-bound, striving vainly to grasp the meaning of the song. And it was thus that the chorus of Puritan maidens found them. Just whv the leader of the wanderers happened to choose the sweetest and brightest-faced singer to speak to, only fate can say. But let it suffice to know that she did not object and this, like all good stories should, ends with the repentance of the sinners, their forgiveness, and the hero and the heroine on a clear path to love and life ' s greatest happiness. A few moments later the members of ' 2 were seated around the long table in the center of the room and the remaining time was given over to toasts and fun-making. Alreadv the old girls were feeling repaid for their trips, but those hi-minded Juniors had onlv begun. The last and best of the program was announced to take place in the College Auditorium at eight o ' clock. And there the guests were carried to foreign lands and strange customs. It was a play entirely original, with the scenes in a monastery of Spain — a monastery with rigid regulations and under the jurisdiction of the King. Every player was at her best. Dan, a poor artist, lay unconscious in his studio, sick from the lack of nourishment, when Sister Dolorosa and Martine, studying to be a nun, go to him with food. The older woman goes after water, and in her absence Dan awakes to find an angel of mercy watching over and caring for him. Love is imme- diate, and the second act finds him breaking all regulations and conventionalities to see her. They meet clandestinely in the garden. It is not the first offense, and rumors have reached the ears of the Sister Doloroso. She watches, and the lovers are caught. The third act finds them in their separate cells in the King ' s prison. In song they vow their never-ending love and faithfulness. But in vain, for did not the law read; And a foot within the walls of this Monastery, the penalty is death. And was not Dan merely a man ? The characters were: ESTHER— A Student ' ary Lou Rodgers SISTER DOLOROSA— Head of Spanish Convent Lula Garnett MARTINE— Studying to become a Nun A ie Mae Boone DAN — An American Artist living under the Spanish Government Marjorie Lamkm THE KEEPER Lillian Oldham Page One Hundred X:neiy-fwe P«oblew -What Does a Aan Do wit i His Btavd WV eiv He is As eeb ?
