In this picture ive hope you may see our love for our Alma Mater and our appreciation for all that she has meant to us as students and all that she may mean to us in our future life which takes us away from her walls. DEDICATION to WILLIAM DAVIS FURRY and GREATER SHORTER To Dr. Furry, our friend, our president, our sympa- thetic advisor; and to Greater Shorter, the embodiment of our highest ideals and aspirations, ice, the class of Nineteen Hundred Twenty-six, do dedicate this the eighteenth volume of the Argo. Xo Mother and Father You gave the best years of your lives With joy for me, And robbed yourselves, with loving hearts, Unstintingly. For me with willing hands you toiled From day to day; For me you prayed when headstrong youth Would have its wax. Your gentle arms, my cradle once, Are weary now And time has set the seal of care Upon your brow And though no other eyes than mine Their meaning traces, I read my history in the lines Of your dear faces. And ' mid His gems Who showers gifts As shining sands, I count your days as pearls that fall From His kind hands.

( Arao Cl ass oem There once was a garden, bright, and fair, Which grew on the top of a hill, .hid the flowers were many which blossomed there In a world so serene, and so still. There were roses, bright luted, and poppies red, Which were lovely, and strong, and brave, There tit re violets, too, not so strong, but as true .Is the blue in the crest of a wave. There grew tulips, and lilies, and daffodils, bright, And a score of other kinds, too, And each flower face wore a smile of delight As in the school flower garden it grew. Four years were the flowerlets bathed by the sun Of learning, of knowledge, and right, Four years, too, were they kissed by the dew Of the teachings of wisdom, and might. But the time soon came when the garden grew full, And when some of its flowers must die. To make way for the little buds, peeping up here And there, each its ozvn life to try. So old Father Time, his sycthe sharpened with plans Of commencement, and all that it brings, Stole into the garden, and out again, too, As swiftly as though he ' d had wings. And the June morning dawned, and then it was found That the Senior flowers were gone, They ' d been plucked from the garden of college days And transplanted at warm, red, dawn To blossom again in the garden of Life, Into richer and fuller flowers, With memory stamped on each petal face Of Shortens garden, anil its happy hours. Adelle Moss, Poet. 1 (VV 3 A History of the Class of 26 S WE LOOK back over the four years of our life at Shorter the events come so thick and fast that we hardly have time to merely mention one and then pass on to another. Each page of our many memory books holds experiences that are dear to each member of the class of ' 26. However, among these many and varied experiences there are some outstanding ones which the class as a whole shares. Let us forget the present, and in a way experience these happy and often trying experiences again. Our Freshman year seems more crowded with events than any other year. Every Freshman (and there were sixty-five) arrived on Shorter Hill with her picture and idea of the college stamped upon her mind, but the greatest surprise of all was to find that none were correct. We were royally received and rushed for days by the Old Girls who soon instilled into our hearts and minds the ideals and Spirit of Shorter. As Freshman we did not consider ourselves as green as other Fresh- men, but alas, when we gaze back at our many errors and mistakes we can not help but smile. Arriving on the thirteenth, to start with, luck seemed against us. Especially is this true when we think of our first trip to church when the street car on which the whole Freshman class was crowded and wedged left the rail and parked, as it seemed, for half the day. The class did not know what it meant to act as a whole until we had our first class meeting, and elected Mildred Pidcock, President; Evelyn Sheffield, Vice-President ; Edna Harvey, Secretary; and Laura McCulloh, Treasurer. Now we considered ourselves united and strong enough to defeat any class on Shorter Hill. How quick our fortress fell and we succumbed to the onrushing Sophomores and their Brown Brigade! We emerged from the conflict stronger and the more determined for having had this experience. A great disappointment came when both the Freshmen and the Sopho- mores tried to pull their feast in the same night. We all remember the heated contest waged in the court about four o ' clock in the morning; the high pitched voices, and the cutting remarks flung at each other. The Junior-Freshman wedding, a custom originating in our generation, was a brilliant event of October which united the class of ' 24 and ' 26 with the lasting bonds of friendship. We shall never forget the Thanksgiving party and our amazement at the transformation of the college dining-room. In all our lives we had seen nothing like it. ] iArao We can not describe the thrills of our first vacation and our trip home Christmas. We will leave that to the imagination and as for our first finals, on arriving again on the hill, we tremble to mention. We never knew what college was until then, when our ambition for A ' s faded into the stern reality of C ' s or what nots. Under the leadership of our new President, Dr. Blocker, whose inauguration was an outstanding event of the post holidays, Shorter started out with greater ambitions for the future. On February the twenty-sixth we initiated the new swimming pool and nothing could be greater than the realization of a long dream. From the beginning our class took pride in this gift and for the next three years we came out victorious in the swimming meets. In April for the first time we had a chance to show our loyalty to the society we had chosen for ours. The Green and Green came out victorious amid the many shouts of her followers. Home-going was a great event and we all thought, if we could ever reach home again, we never wanted to see a book or a college. In spite of our vows before vacation, September found most of us again at Shorter, full of pep and enthusiasm. Now we had passed that stage of beginners and thought we well deserved to hold our heads high and call ourselves Sophomores. We had Freshmen stepping at our com- mand and then indeed we thought we had conquered a kingdom. Under the leadership of our new President, Fvelyn Sheffield, we set out with the resolve to conquer greater things. One of the greatest events of our life at Shorter was Shorter ' s admis- sion to the Southern Association in December. The whole hilltop echoed with the shouts of rejoicing. Another step had been made for a better and more famed Shorter. After the thrills of that day Christmas was the big event in the future, for home-going never loses its newness. On Valentine ' s day we gave our party, the prettiest in our history, and again the old whoop ' em up spirit waxed high. Many other events happened before commencement, among these was the feast, held in a suite where a Freshman was soundly sleeping. The first Shorter Glee Club made its appearance in March. The last months of our Sophomore year were filled with many happy and also sad experiences. It was the last days with our Seniors. The banquet given in their honor was filled with the class spirit and our love for our Senior Class. The last days meant work, for a daisy chain must be made to honor the Seniors on class day. Four o ' clock was none too early and dark came too soon, millions of the white and gold flowers were to be picked and made r Arqo into a chain. The finished product was well worth our labor and we were proud to hold it on class day and prouder still when we sang Whoop ' Em Up for the first time. Here for the first time we really thought of our- selves as Juniors and realized that half our race had been run. The Junior year was one of real enjoyment for we had been here just long enough to know what college life really meant and to know how to appreciate college associates and college ideals. As Juniors we assumed new responsibilities and among these was the care and guidance of a new Freshman class, all our own. The two classes were officially united in the Junior-Freshman Wedding. We found that the class of ' 26 did not have any detectives when we started out on our search for the crook. We had to hand it to them that the idea of making it into a mop was a trick too clever even for the most professional seekers. Now came the realization that we were Seniors and must assume that unwonted dignity. We say how hard this was when for the first time we marched into the dining-room wearing the long flowing gown and unbal- anced hat. It was hard to uphold our dignity and this fact we clearly realized when on our first trip to church two worthy members of the class tripped and fell. Soon, however, we became accustomed to the newly assumed role and got down to real earnest work for this was our last year and we must make it count. The old custom of Seniors and Sophomores was fully installed at school this year for every Senior had a Sophomore of her own. It was a great day when the class as a whole presented their rings to the Sophomores and when the court rang with the Sophomores ' serenade that night. A great event in the life of every Senior is Senior table. We hate to tell of the dignity that is upheld there but, nevertheless, the memory of Senior table will ever be with us, and be an outstanding event of our last days together as a class. The last days together of the Senior year are too full of memories that have not yet fallen into the background and somehow we try to hold to these last few, for fear of turning loose the old and beginning an altogether new life. As we stand here the past seems to fade and we begin to see the future ahead. Our life at Shorter has broadened our visions, and life for all of us has taken on a new aspect. With our poet Lanier ' s optimism let us face the future hoping to find our place in the world. We turn our face to the East, which represents opportunity and a new life and leaving behind the walls of the past, we say, The World Lies East. Bernice Tracy, Historian. I S Arao Class Prophecy IS COMMENCEMENT TIME at Shorter. What a multi- tude of thrills! Vacation; Mothers; Daddies; good-byes; big sisters; former Shorterites ; little sisters, future Gold and j iaffil Whites ; big brothers, on parade for Shorter — past, present, and future — best everything for Shorter. At the last regular Chapel exercise, just twenty-four hours before Diploma Day for the class of ' 36, an announcement is made: To-night we will have a most unique program, to celebrate the day of all the rest which has meant most to Shorter — the day Dr. Furry accepted her Presi- dency. I here is a forced intermission as loud applause breaks forth. Dr. lurry tries to smile away his extreme embarrassment — such a show of enthusiasm is detrimental to his retiring nature. Quiet is finally restored and the speaker proceeds: The class of ' 26 was first to graduate with Dr. Furry as President, so as was deemed fitting by the Faculty and Alumnae, each class from that date forth will report to-night the whereabouts of its members. The method of so doing has been left to the Presidents of the individual classes. I trust that all those whose friends have graduated between the dates ' 26 and ' 36 will be introduced in honoring ' Who ' s Who? ' And if not, why not? The hour is eight, in the chapel — I thank vou. And now it is to-night, and almost eight. The new Chapel is being filled rapidly. Such a festival pervades the scene that the world is given a right to think that school is a gay, gay place, after all. A wonderful moon, but of a conversation and laughter, Huffy dresses, flowers coquettishly tucked in serene coiffeurs, dainty slippers robing dancing feet — all these outside, then the lights. The town clock chimes the hour; chapel doors are closed. Dr. Furry begins his salutation with: ' Tis a very happy occasion that brings us here, and concludes May we all stand, and sing to- gether ' The White and Gold. ' ' This done, he turns the meeting over to the class presidents who, with him, are seated on the platform. The first to rise is the President of ' 26 — Dear old Iggy. She expresses the thrill of being back at Shorter, then: Knowing vou are anxious to hear from all the class of ' 26, I want to introduce you first to Mrs. Julian [ 1 Arao Frix, in the balcony at the picture machine. She is our operator for to-night at her own request, hoping in this way to atone for at least a part of her debt for desertion. She will show you slides, while I locate for you those shown there, but unable to be present. May I ask that the center of the platform be cleared for the screen. Thank you. Lights off. Begin. The chapel is darkened, a familiar buzzing begins. A shaft of lighr illuminates a screen at the back of the platform. Slide i is Nancy Booker ' s beautiful Coral Gables bungalow, topped by the all important tile. Lovely tropical flowers strive but fail to hide the haunting beauty of the place. Nancy expresses regrets that she and Julian are in the backyard, and not in this picture. Number two, Frances Camp. Click and we are carried to a bare gymnasium, containing all possible kinds of paraphernalia. In the foreground is one whom we remember as Frances Camp, now Mile. Annetta Seidermann, the physical culture specialist, who conducts world-famous reducing classes. To her right is Miss Sara Hattaway, her same smiling self labelled before taking treatment; to the left, Miss Louise Powers, labelled after. This cut is the page Mile, had in last month ' s Good Housekeeper. She attributes all her success to personal supervision. Num- ber three, Mary Ella Featherstone. We have now a view of the largest laboratory of cosmetics in the world — Marinello. It is here that Mary Ella has her office as junior partner of the Marinello firm. Her first chance came when as ' Miss Newman, ' her flowing curls attracted much favorable comment. She grasped that opportunity and has risen steadily ever since. Number four, Frances Hale. There is before the audience now a very conservative home, one of the type that makes Boston aristocracy distinctive. This is the home of Mr. and Mrs. Philip Fremont. Frances, now the Mrs. met her destined lover one day, passing through Philadelphia, on her way to take a position in Newark, N. J. She says it was the happiest day of her life. May it always be thus. Though the date was incidentally Friday, the thirteenth. Oh me, why are teachers always so modest? None of our teachers sent their pictures, but Agnes Hall writes that she has the Chair of Mathe- matics at Vassar, and is in love with her work. She and the rest send pictures of their respective colleges, which you may show as I talk, Nancy. r Arao Elizabeth Hardy is Professor of English at the same college. Shorter is justly proud of these two. Frances Harris is teaching, but she seeks an easier field, and finds it at Miss Wood ' s on the Hudson, as ' Mistress of Etiquette. ' Ina Mae Hart has charge of Kindergarten work in her home town, Warrenton. The next slide. What could be more adorable than the twin bungalow now on the screen? And what could be inside, but happiness? The picture is too dim to see clearly, but I think the one in the right door is ' Bug ' ; the other ' Sis, ' and so it is here that we find the Jackson Twins. Myrwin ' s wooer became insistent, and she had to say yes, but only after it was planned that Sis should occupy one side of a twin bungalow with her. Number six. Seated before two splendid Steinways are two graceful players whom we know to be Mamie Laurie Harris and Katherine Gaines. Having completed very comprehensive courses in Paris, these two are touring Europe, giving concerts before they return to America. All music lovers of this country are looking forward to hearing them. Number seven. We have Miami again, but this time it is a queer little thatched roof cabin that has become famous in social circles as the only place to have tea — at ' Marjorie ' s Manor. ' Marjorie Johnston is the Marjorie to whom so many dainties have been attributed in the culinary world. Number eight. Harriet Jones, thinking she had carried the name Jones long enough in life, sought to change. Was it Fate that the lucky man was Ed Jones? The announcement read : ' Jones-Jones marriage of state-wide interest. ' This picture shows the happy couple just after they returned from New York on their honeymoon. Number nine. Isabel Jones, the dignified person on the extreme right of this picture, is Dean of Women at National Park Seminary. Miss Jones is very popular with the students and faculty. Number ten. We all remember her as Prances Johnson, but she is now Mrs. George Sheffield of Atlanta. She is still the same sweet girl, who made herself so popular at Shorter; the only thing is I call her sister now and she used to be just ' Roommate. ' Number eleven, Mabel Lee. She spends m ' ost of her time seriously, and is now applying for M.A. at Columbia. Her thesis is to be prepared on ' Is Dentistry An Essential or a Side Issue in Every Girl ' s Life? ' Mabel is culling material from her own experience. Her thesis is expected to be quite an eye-opener. Number twelve. r Arao Quantity as well as quality is used to describe the King-McCulloh Studio in London. Here are forty of their pupils, several of whom have been featured in Grand Opera. Norman King and Laura McCulloh are the central figures in the front row. Number thirteen. Eugenia Malone always did love the uncertain. We are inclined to believe that this trait is following her through life, as she writes that she has married a traveling man. From the picture here we recognize her better-half as ' The Paul ' that she has always loved. They look as if no wish of ours could in any way add to their happiness, so . Number fourteen, please. T his team is the celebrated ' Cincinnati Wild Cats, ' undisputed cham- pions of the United States, the only professional team of its kind. The captain holding the ball is Louise Meredith. On her left, as guard, we recognize Elon Norman. Number fifteen. Here is a party of jolly tourists in the Rockies. One very venture- some member is feeding meat to a bear. Helen Methvin writes that she conducts tours to the West quarterly, and would be glad to enroll some Shorter students among them. There are pamphlets on the platform that I shall distribute at the close of the meeting. Number sixteen. Dot Moody at last decided two years ago to give the world the secret of her waves. Already she is twice a millionaire, and still going strong. The name of her patent is ' Kill — R — Kurl. ' To prove that her waves have never been nature ' s own handiwork we have this beautiful portrait of Dot. Notice her hair parted in the middle and drawn straight back into a knot. Number seventeen. Adelle Moss is the well known ' Love Lorn Letty ' who answers questions sent to the New York Times on the subject of affairs de la coeur. Her answer always contains much understanding. Dell has as her com- petent secretary, Mildred Glover. This picture shows the cosy studio in which momentous questions are decided. We have no word from Mary Clinton Orr, who went to Africa seven years ago as a missionary. She is so far inland that it takes a letter four months to reach her. That explains her silence. Reports are that she is having a hard time but says it ' s worth it. Number seventeen. Virginia Penn is the national representative of the American Red Cross Life Saving Corps. She will go to France soon to compete in the International Diving Contest. Virginia is shown here with a few of her medals. Number nineteen. r ] VQO Estelle Reynolds, B.A., M.A., Ph.D., D.D., is shown here with her Latin class in the University of Chattanooga. Number twenty. Dot Ryan, now of Devonshire, Vermont, is spending the winter with her husband in their air castle in Russia. He is the American Ambassador there. This picture is of the happy couple on board the Leviathan. Num- ber twenty-one. This is my home in Atlanta — a beautiful ' sunny bungalow. ' I was a long time deciding not to take a ' chance, ' but it is as Mrs. Raymond Mitchell that I talk to you to-night.

[ ] AVQO Junior-Freshman Wedding : W- ] Arao To An Enchantress Nay, think not thou, my love to make me thine; For once I stood, entranced, and -Hatched the spider Fling forth her web of gossamer threads so fine, Suspended swaying in the breeze, then hide her And wait till some miliary hapless fly Should strike and in its mesh become entangled; Then out she rushed when thus she did espy Her prey — which beat with futile wings and dangled- And shamelessly consumed it; satisfied, Went back to wait the coming of some other. So thou, O Circe, twenty at thy side, Did think to charm, allure, and, heartless smother One more who, warned, does not admit thy sway Thx wiles are vain, fair one; seek other prey.

At present the efforts of the Association are largely directing toward meeting the obligation made by the building of the swimming pool three years ago. The history of the Association has been one of continued progress. It is the earnest desire of every member of the Association to liquidate the swim- ming pool debt as soon as possible, in order that funds made or contributed by the Association may be used toward the erection of an Alumnae house. More and more each year is the need of such a building at the college felt by graduates and former students. In it would be housed all alumnae activities; alumnae and other guests could be entertained there during their activities. It would furnish headquarters for board, committee and general meetings; in it could be located the Martha Shorter Tea Room. Such a center in the college life would be of inestimable value, attracting and holding, as it would, alumnae interest, furnishing a place where graduates and students could meet and mingle in their social life, in this way connecting up past and future and strengthening the bond between graduates and students and their Alma Mater.

She was determined to obtain the best results possible before Bob came for her, for this would not only be the last social function for her to attend at Yale before she left for home, but she must also do credit to her brother, for he had certainly made her have a jolly good time during her visit. Brothers like Bob are worth having, she thought, and, — bless his heart — he had been so glad to have her come to his graduation, that just for his sake she put a bit more powder on the tip of her nose and rear- ranged a lock of hair for the fifteenth time. A noise downstairs gave warning for the last look, and by the time Dorothy was informed of her brother ' s arrival, she was about ready to make final survey and go down to observe the effects of her operations. With that object in view, she walked calmly into the parlor, to be greet- ed by a hearty Hello there! You ' re almost on time — gee, but you look good! and a sudden kiss on each cheek confirmed Bob ' s approval, and made her know that her efforts had been successful. By the time she recovered from his demonstrations, Bob had turned around, and Dorothy saw for the first time someone else in the parlor. In fact, she saw a tall, very good-looking gentleman who was rather timidly approaching them. Hal, old man, I nearly forgot, Bob was saying. Guess that was a social error, but here — Dorothy, this is my old friend, Hal Morris. You ' ve heard lots of him — Indeed, I have, answered Dorothy, as she greeted Hal with a hand- shake while Bob continued, He had to go home for a few days and so he hasn ' t had the good luck of meeting you until tonight. And now he says he ' s going to the dance with us. Guess we ' ll have to take him, so come along. Hal thought Bob made a failure of the introduction, to say the least, but he managed to recover his equilibrium when they were all well on their [ ] Avqo way, while he tried to decide just how he could best make friends with this lady fair. Meantime Bob kept up an endless stream ' of talk, and hard- ly gave him a chance to put in a word edgewise and try to be polite. That ' s a nice way for a Senior to behave, thought Junior Hal. If that were my sister, I ' d let another fellow speak to her once in a while, anyway. Then, after a moment ' s reflection came another thought — Don ' t know whether I would or not. Dorothy tried to ask Hal a few questions every now and then, and to take some little notice of him, but Bob was hard to manage, even when she told him to be quiet. Are you a Senior, too? she asked for politeness, although she knew he was not. But it was Bob who answered, No. He ' s just a Junior like you are. By the way, see there Hal, you ' ll both graduate at the same time. Now I ' ve got two commencements on my hands for next year. I ' ll have to go to Rayburn Hall, and then come here. Well, I hope you ' ll enjoy them both. You must bring your sister up here with you when you come. ' ' I ' ll think about it. Here we are now. We ' ll have to unload. And the jubilant Bob hurr ied suddenly out of the carriage. Dorothy thought she had never seen so many people, or such a beauti- ful place, as she beheld in the Fraternity Hall, and she enjoyed every minute of the time at the dance. Her brother ' s friends were very kind to her, and Hal Morris proved to be both an excellent dancer and an in- teresting gentleman, when Bob was out of his way. She had several dances with him, and before long added his name to the list of those she liked best among Bob ' s friends. Altogether she thought she had never spent such an enjoyable evening, and time for departure came all too soon. She really regretted that her visit was over, and told Bob and Hal good-by that night with heavy heart. The next day Hal went to the train with them, and in his farewell speech obtained permission from Dorothy, as one of Bob ' s best friends, to write to her every now and then. Dorothy was rather quiet during all of the long journey home, letting Bob, as usual, do the talking. But enthusiasm arose when she finally [ ] Avqo reached home and began telling her mother about her wonderful ex- periences. Mother, Bob ' s friends are so nice. And I believe I liked his room- mate best of all. Hooray for Hal! Bob interrupted. Mother, you know I ' ve told you about him. He likes Dorothy, too. All the fellows did, though. So you liked one better than the rest? calmly inquired Mrs. Brandon. Just as I expected. That ' s the usual ending of such visits. It was the last night of Hal ' s visit to Bob, and he was sitting alone in his room, thinking. He would see Dorothy for the last time at dinner, and soon afterward he would have to leave, for the Christmas holidays were over, and he must return to Yale to finish his last half year ' s work. In the meantime, what would become of Dorothy? True, she would go back to Rayburn Hall to complete her Senior year, too, but still — Oh, well, if he just had the nerve to ask her now! Or, if — Hal involuntarily gripped the arms of the chair and stood almost upright, — if that rascal, Dick Winthrop, were just out of the way, he would feel better. There ' s no doubt about her liking him, and here he lives right in the same town with her, is a friend of Bob ' s, and — blast it — he ' s got nerve and bearing, and always says and does the right thing in the right place. If only I — But the dinner bell and the sudden appearance of Bob, as he burst into the room, put an end to further reflections. Hev, old man! Ready to go? That bell is music to my ears surely. Let ' s go on down. And Bob, in his usual manner, launched forth upon some rambling discourse to which Hal paid no attention, silently returning thanks when they met the family at the foot of the stairs. Hal thought he had never seen Dorothy look prettier than she did to- night, and he wished with all his heart that the meal could last always. Only once were his musings interrupted seriously, and then Hal had an insane desire to land Bob under the table when he blurted out, Quit looking at my sister like that. A moment later he wished he might land himself in the same place when he felt his face burning and realized that he was blushing conspicuously. But Dorothy evidently took no notice of her brother ' s remark, and quietly restored order by asking Hal if he would be glad to start the final half year of his college life. r Avqo zp I must say that I shall be sorry to leave Rayburn Hall, and goodness knows what I ' ll do next year, for I can ' t stay at home and be idle. I ' d suggest something for you if I dared, thought Hal. Oh ! I say idle. Not with Dick on your hands. He ' ll keep you busy next year, so don ' t worry, again put in Bob. Well, sir, Dick is not the only thing I ' d like to have to employ me. And Hal ' s heart gave a little thump. If this conversation about Dick were going to continue he would be glad when the meal was over. Anyway, he did feel relieved, though sorry, when the company left the table. Soon after, time for departure came, and Hal accepted more than will- ingly the kind invitation of Bob ' s father and mother to confe again, and then he, Bob, and Dorothy left for the train. How he wished the machine would break down, or that something would happen to make him miss the train! But alas! Nothing did happen and they reached the station safely just in time to hear the train coming. Hal braced himself to face the inevitable, and as the gallant Bob offered to get his ticket for him — which service, Hal thought, was the kindest man ever did for man — he stopped a moment to tell Dorothy good-bv. Why certainly I ' ll write to you, she answered. Well — well — would you write — I like to get your letters — will you write to me often ? That depends, laughed Dorothy, I think frequent replies demand frequent letters to be answered. I ' ll send them. Then, mustering up all of his courage, he stammered out, Dorothy, I — I — love you. 11 ' on ' I you write often? The astonished Dorothy had no time to reply, for out rushed Bob and hurried Hal aboard as the trained pulled out. Hope to see you again soon. Will be up there before long. Surely am glad you came. So long. And Bob hurried back to his seat in the machine and started for home as the train left the station. By the first of January both Hal and Dorothy had resumed their studies, which for quite a while were often interrupted by frequent epistles, and C X Avqo Hal often managed to say in writing what he never could have expressed orally. One day Dorothy received a message that a telegram was awaiting her, and hurried immediately to the sitting room. As she passed the President ' s office, he was standing in the door, and as she came opposite him, he addressed her rather abruptly, accompany- ing his words by a threatening frown over his spectacles. Miss Dorothy, the maid has a message for you. Dorothy, surprised beyond words at the President ' s condescending to deliver such a message, trembling uttered a Thank you, and passed on a few feet further where the maid stood, holding a slip of paper in her hand. As Dorothy glanced at the slip, she reeled against the wa ll, and began to feel the very earth caving in, while everything turned dark before her. The message was in the President ' s own handwriting, for it had been telephoned over to the school — and read thus: Dear Dorothy: Am sorry I missed writing you to-day. Was called away. Write tomorrow from New Haven. The usual ending. Hal. College commencement season had now been past for some three weeks, and as such events always occur early at Rayburn Hall, Dorothy had been at home for some time when Hal came to visit Bob. Tonight she was sitting on the porch, and beside her sat Dick Winthrop. A ray of moonlight came through the dark vines, and fell across her face, while the June breezes stirred the leaves throwing weird shadows on the floor. All was still and quiet, and the faint chirp of a cricket or the oc- casional whirr of a machine on the road beyond the house, were the only sounds that reached the quiet spot where two serious people sat motionless. It was Dick ' s voice that broke the silence, as he spoke in low, pleading tones. Dorothy, won ' t you? For a while no answer came. The girl dropped her head on her hand and was silent. Then, suddenly she raised it and in quick, decisive tones came the response. No, Dick. I can ' t. r ] Arao The man caught his breath involuntarily, and then, proudly controlling himself, once more questioned the girl, this time very coolly, Will you tell me why? Because — because — I ' ve promised Hal. Slowly Dick rose, held out his hand to Dorothy, and with a quiet good- by was gone, leaving her alone. As he strode heavily down the walk he could not help thinking, That ' s just like a woman. I might have known it was that other fel- low. Such is the usual ending of man ' s dreams. The sound of a merrily whistled duet suddenly roused Dorothy from her reverie, and plainly announced the return of Bob and Hal. She rose from where she had been sitting since Dick left, and went to the steps to meet them, really surprised at how glad she was to hear them coming. In a moment Hal was beside her, stopping while Bob, with a careless Come on over, made a dive for the swing as he pitched his hat into a chair. Shall we tell him now? whispered Dorothy to Hal, and together they started toward Bob, who was by this time comfortably curled up in the swing and prepared to enjoy a smoke. He could not exactly understand what the two meant as they took their stand before him, until Hal accosted him with a happy Well, Bob, we have something to tell you. Then give us your best congratulations. Like a flash, the full meaning of the situation struck Bob, who landed suddenly on his feet with one arm around Dorothy and the other around Hal, offering a conglomeration of exclamations, ending with I might have known it. That ' s the usual ending of a fellow ' s best friend meeting his sister.

Captain Lucy Sloan Sinclair Norton Helen Collins r s ] Avqo Athletic News Unusual interest has been displayed in Athletics this year. From the time of the cleverly presented minstrel in the college gymnasium one Saturday night in early fall until the last whistle blew in the basket-ball games, every member of each class was cheering her team to victory. The first real victory of the season was won by the Junior Volley Ball Team. They were presented with the cup for iQ25- ' 26. A swimming meet in which every class participated was a very exciting event. As usual, when the races were over and the shouts ceased, the room echoed with the Whoop- ' em-ups of ' 26. For the third time the cup was won by ' 26 with her team of excellent, undefeated swimmers and divers. Basket-ball caused quite a disturbance in the college community. Things didn ' t seem to happen as they were expected to happen. The Seniors turned the tables when they defeated the Juniors in a hard-fought battle. The Sophomores, with their wonderful shooters and splendid pass work, were the winners in every game. A new sport has been added to the athletic activities at Shorter. Javelin hurling, discus throwing, hurdling, broad jump and running are the new forms engaged in. We are waiting to see the outcome of the new track meet at Shorter. C ] AtQO The White and Gold The white and gold of memories dear, Enshrine we in our hearts, The teachings of these colors clear, Jf ' ill ne ' er from us depart. The white shall stand for purity, The gold for worth untold, We ' ll prove Shorter ' s worth In the world ' s great strife, We ' ll uphold the white and gold. Our Jim a Mater ' s standards true, JVe ' ll hear where ' er we go, That others seeing our lives Her glories too, may know. Our lives shall stand for purity, Our hearts for worth untold, We ' ll prove Shorter ' s worth In the world of men, We ' ll uphold the white and gold. — Louise Bennett, ' 14.

SHORTER COLLEGE ROME, GEORGIA 1. EDUCATIONAL RECOGNITION (a) A Member of the Southern Association of ' olleges and Secondary Schools. (b) A Member of the Association of American Colleges. (c) Its degrees recognized by Graduate Schools of the large Universities as a basis for obtaining the Master ' s degree in one year. 2. THE IDEALS OF SHORTER (a) Shorter seeks to inspire as well as instruct. (b) Shorter has a liberal curriculum abreast of the best educational thought and practice. (c) Maintains high standards of academic work and social life. (d) Shorter is a Christian College and maintains most cordial relations with the Baptist Church. (e) Shorter is a College of the New England type and seeks to inspire its students with a love of the beautiful for its own sake, an enthusiasm for truth, a passion for religion anil a desire to serve. 3. THE NEEDS OF SHORTER (a) Shorter has as good plant and equipment as may be found in the whole South to accommodate its present enrollment. All residence-halls filled the past year and already filled for the next year with many applications still coming in. (b) To accommodate its increasing enrollment Shorter must have immedi- ately a larger endowment. A new residence-hall must be built the com- ing year. Additions must be made to the library and the several laboratories. A liberal sum ought to be available for beautifying the grounds. The securing of these immediately urgent needs will make Shorter permanently a College of the highest rank. 4. HOW HELP? Unless Shorter is wholly unlike all other institutions of similar char- actor it must look to its graduates for funds needeil to carry forward its present work and seize the larger future now reaching out before it. Graduates to-day pay only twenty-six and two-thirds per cent, of the total cost of their college education. The College must therefore look to its graduates for the funds needed for its present work and future growth. Your President gladly avails himself of this opportunity of making more permanent his word of congratulation upon your graduation and challenging your unbroken and undying loyalty to Alma Mater.
