The class before seems to have conned all of the original ideas and put them into type. But, in this, our Fourth Annual, we have endeavored to find some new things, which make us worthy followers in the steps of our predecessors. Many people outside of the Board have worked to make this Book, and to them we extend our heartiest thanks.

The impression we made on the college was such That of feting and dancing we had most too much; And yet, to be sure, we could not but expect it. For Siveel Briar saw that we soon would direct it. With us, all athletics began to have vim. For we had amongst us the champion Jim. We proved ourselves worthy to conquer them all, And in basket-ball ' gainst us e ' en SENIORS did fall. •♦♦♦♦•• •••♦-♦■♦■ • i BRIAR EATCn History of the Class of 1914 SOPHOMORE YEAR The next year our modest refinement was such That somehow we weren ' t m evidence much; Some chose to live over those fine Freshman days. Because for athletics they had such a craze. The Junior Class, sensible of our decrease, Contributed to us two members on lease. Our emblem became honeysuckle — not rose — And no longer holly, but elm tree that — yes — grows! We were inconsistent in one little spot — Our colors turned green, but our class — guess rwl! % % i BRIAE FATCn History of the Class of 1914 JUNIOR YEAR As Juniors perhaps we were brightest of all. For we drew as our sisters, then learning to crawl. That wonderful class of 1 — 9 — I — 6, Which proved itself up to the cleverest tricks. We started class spirit, that glorious thing. Which cost little SopHS, at first, many a sting; But as soon as they learned that class spirit meant fun. Their dear little tempers grew bright as the sun. And now we are proud of them, trained at our hand. For they generously smile when they can ' t understand. ♦ ♦ BRIAE PATCn History of the Class of 1914 SENIOR YEAR And now that we ' re SENIORS we ' re humbler than ever, Though even Alumnae insist that we ' re clever; We ' ll confess that in one little point we are greedy. But ' tis caused by the fact that of us they are needy. We hold every office existing in college. So the Point System ' s started to lessen our knowledge. Since Srveet Briar ' s come to the realization That Fourteeners run every organization. And since woman ' s rapidly rising in station. We ' re certain, ere long, that we ' ll rule the whole nation.

Do you intend to educate her? JUNIOR — That, my dear SENIOR, is just the subject I wish to discuss with you. Of course, she must be educated : but the question arises as to how she be educated. Indeed, I thought that you, being older than I, might be able to enHghten me as to what education really is. SENIOR — That is easily answered. There is physical or athletic education, mental education, and spiritual education. These are all, you understand, very important. JUNIOR — But I have asked for the definition of education, and behold! you have presented me with a swarm of educations. Your statement is. indeed, like a swarm of bees, for when one searches industriously for the value of it, she finds that in the end she is only stung, without having attained her purpose. But let us grant, for the sake of argument, that your definition is adequate. Which kind of education, then, would you advocate for the Freshman? SENIOR — Well, indeed, I should advocate, without hesitation, physical or athletic training. That is the course I have followed in my own case, and you can observe what it has done for me. It has developed the body, wonderfully indeed. I think I am quite the best athlete in college. Moreover, such training is good for the mind. You know, JUNIOR, it is impossible to have a perfectly sound mind without a sound body. JUNIOR — But, my dear SENIOR, you seem to forget that all this athletic training ol which you boast failed to prevent your caps and gowns from disappearing. The fact that your education failed to do this is not good, is it? SENIOR — Certainly not, JUNIOR. 26 BRIAK PATCH JUNIOR — Then it must be the opposite, must it not? SENIOR Yes, Junior. JUNIOR — And we all admit that the opposite of good is evil. Therefore, your education was not good, but evil, m this case. Furthermore, you say that your athletic training produces a sound mind. You remember, do you not, that in a certain public debate you and I had, you were defeated and your reasoning was proved unsound? This seems to prove that your m ind, as well as your body, has failed to profit by this education which you advocate. SENIOR — es. Junior, I must admit it. JUNIOR — Moreover, when you gave your play, you showed, by charging an outrageous price, that you had no regard for humanity. And when we endeavored to lead you into more virtuous paths by posting a sign that, after all, you had relented and would only charge thirty-five instead of fifty cents, you took it as an insult. Verily, this shows beyond question that you have no morals. No, SENIOR, in educating the Freshman, I shall certainly not follow your example. SOPHOMORE — Junior, I have profited by the mistake of our Senior and I think I can give you a definition of education. JUNIOR — Well, Sophomore, let us hear it. SOPHOMORE — Education is the ability to pass examinations. JUNIOR — But would you call a person truly educated who always passed examinations with a G? You must remember that one can pass examinations well, or one can barely pass. SOPHOMORE — You are right. Junior, so I modify my definition by saying thai education is the ability to pass examinations well. JUNIOR — But, my dear SoPHOMORE, I see that you are not going to reach any profitable conclusion if you follow this line of thought. Do you not think that there could be education without examinations? SOPHOMORE— Yes, Junior. JUNIOR — Then your definition is inadequate? 27 BRIAR FATCn SOPHOMORE — Yes, clearly. However, upon reflection, I believe that the proper education, the education which I have followed, leads to what is called the ability to discriminate. JL ' NIOR — Ah, you think that education consists chiefly in the power of discriminating between the virtuous and the evil, the profitable and the unprofitable, between the possible and the impossible? SOPHOMORE— That is what I think, JUNIOR. JUNIOR — Then I tee! it my duty to tell you that you have not succeeded in the case of your own education, for you are clearly unable to discriminate between the possible and the impossible. ou remember, perhaps, on the day of the SENIOR play you locked me in a room, thinking that it was possible to keep me there? However, I succeeded in removing the hinges from the door and in liberating myself, thus proving that it was impossible for you to keep me. SOPHOMORE — Oh, Junior, I thought I knew a great deal about education, but when I talk to you I seem to have no ideas at all. I have often discoursed at length on the subject to others, but in your presence my thoughts leave me. JUNIOR — In truth, SoPHOMORK, you have proved yourself worthy of your name, for while you deemed yourself wise, you have shown that you are in reality a fool — a wise fool. FRESHMAN — Now, Junior, that you have convinced Senior and SopHOMORi. that they are mistaken, perhaps you can give me some ideas of your own? JUNIOR — Well, Freshman, I am afraid that in being an humble seeker after truth and wisdom, and in showing SENIOR and SoPHOMORK their mistakes, I have only made myself enemies without becoming any wiser. However, I will tell you a few little incidents of my life which may be profitable. You remember when Senior lost her cap and gown I appeared at the play that evening in the disguise of a Senior, wearing a red bath robe and a pasteboard cap. Do you not think it took courage to appear in such garb? ALL — ' es, certainly, JuNIOR. JUNIOR — And did it not require courage to rise between the acts and sing those little songs of my own composition ? BKIAZ PATCH I ALL — ' es, cieaily! JUNIOR — And was it not a mark of great forethought when I brought my own chair under my arm so that I should be sure to have a good seat m fiont? SOPHOMORE — Indeed it was. for I had gone early and had planted myself ni the first row. JUNIOR — And last year, durmg the banner conlro ersy. did I not show great gener- osity by having a large dinner for my sister in the refectory? Also, you will remember, I showed skill and ingenuity in placing my numerals on the gymnasium back steps before the others thought of doing «o. ALL — We must confess this is true. JUNIOR — Then I ha e shown myself to possess courage, foretiiought, generosity, and skill, which are virtues, are they not? ALL — Indeed, yes. JUNIOR — And since I possess these virtues I must have wisdom? ALL — Certainly. JUNIOR — And wisdom equals virtue. Therefore, I possess all the virtues. Yes, I must follow my own ideas in educating the pRKStlMAN. H. Margaret Grant.

Why, It ' s fearfully battered and torn! But maybe it ' s prized — I wouldn ' t be s ' pnsed If history made it so worn. Arc you as ignorant of my long life As this uninformed Fresiiman seemed? This never will do! I ' ll promptly tell you How greatly I am esteemed. I ' ll never forget as long as I live That girl so blue in the face : There ' s no class spirit! We all do fear it; We ' l l show the SPECIAE.s their place! 34 ♦ . ' BRIAR EATCH Ha! challenge was needed to stir them up. They went to it tooth and nail ! And were they polite? Or did they hold tight? The memory makes my heart quail ! They hauled me up, and they hauled me down. They hid me; and then, behold! I ruled aloof The refectory roof. All gleaming in purple and gold. ' Now here ' s where I ' m happy, I fluttered to say, I ' ve most reached my ambition in life. I ' ll never say die. But may I ask why Employ Mr. Martindale ' s knife? I must not be personal now, my dear For that ' s just why it had to end. Some took it to heart. And a few did smart; My story now takes a sad trend. The truce slightly calmed my shattered nerves. In excitement I could not mix ; I lay in the dark And could only hark To doings of nine — one — six. 35 ■♦♦ .♦ BRIM FATCn IX The Freshmen dressed up as cute little boys For their dance to the rest of the college; To childhood returned, They common sense spurned, So success they could but acknowledge. A thrilling tournament came in the spring. All the others were sure they would skin us. But Russell and Martin Played as one Spartan (Illustration will show you the finis). I heard how we won in basket-ball, And was aching to cheer them along. They took compassion. In practical fashion. And shook me out with a song. XII I think that they loved me a little bit more Because I ' d been through such a lot. I was treated with care. But I would not wear! Oh, the tears are coursing hot ! XIII A gorgeous new banner (I ' ll try to be brave!) Now takes up the thread of my life; But I ' ve had my day. And am happy to say I retired in the midst of the strife. BEIM FATCn I am going to tell you a secret now. For when you may wish to call. Come see me in state. As I decorate The Sophomore study wall! This sanctum sanctorum ' s on first floor Gray, The coziest suite ever seen. Where purple abounds. And joyous sounds To echo from loyal sixteen ! I ' ll tell you a bit of scandal I heard As I hung there the other night At a social function, Given with unction. To honor the SENIORS aright. It seems that banner-rush days are o ' er. For one said, as she sipped her grape-juice: That trick was clever! I really never Saw such little abuse! They said that the Freshmen took caps and gowns From ' the Seniors ere they were worn. So on Founder ' s Day There would be dismay. But no robes to cover their scorn. 37 ♦ ♦ • BRIAK FATCn VAf)l I waved my folds to hear the next. And listen! the Sophomores then Took Faculty gowns And pasteboard crowns — Beyond all Freshman ken! ' Twas a combat of brains (incidentally hands But the Seniors had their way.

With the heritage of the roses, colors, motto, and privilege of trying to keep a peacock on the Siveel Brim Campus, we were very well endowed by 1913. We started our year fifty-one strong, the largest number that the JuNIORS ever tried to organize into a Freshman class at Since Briar. Inevitably that fatal malady, dropping subjects, attacked us and thinned our ranks to forty-si.x ; we all hope to be together when we succeed to the necessity of sitting up late to study Philosophy in the Senior parlor. An unusually large number of the Freshmen are expected to graduate because they have shown such a premature fondness for the caps and gowns of the Seniors. They were the first class to wear them this year (in private). The SoPHOMOf ES, sympathizing with their bereaved sisters in their terrible loss, which came so near to Founder ' s Day, actually cut Y. W. C. A. meeting (heretofore unheard of!) to aid in the search for the lost insignia of knowledge. If the Freshmen had not been of such a considerate nature, and had not objected to disturbing domestic peace, Elsie Palmer and Clare Erck might still be perched on a certain cedar chest. We went in for athletics with a rush and composed five-sixths of a JuNlOR- Freshman basket-ball team with a Freshman captain, which proved to be the greatest epoch in JlM Hayes ' hitherto uneventful athletic life at Srveet Briar. We also try to act. Nine of the girls invited to join the Ripplers and Merry Jesters this year are Freshmen — Floy Huntley, Jane Tyler, Ruth Mc- Ilrany, Edith Christie, Beatrice Bowmann, Elsie Palmer, Margaret Gibson, Esther Dittenhaver, and Marion Webster. These added to those already in JaNE HENDERSON, DoROTHY GrAMMER, NaNCY MuNCE, MaRTIIA Darden, and Louise Bennett — make fourteen, and all are stars. We are not all light and frivolous, however. Elsie Palmer, Dorothy Gram- MER, and Jane Tyler are the pride of HENRIETTA ' S heart on the Y. W. C. A. Cabinet. In November the JuNIORS built us a bonfire under their paternal greenwood tree. We hope that no sinister construction will be put on the fact that, on the return from this soiree, the respective presidents of the two classes lured four unsuspecting Freshmen away from MiSS BENEDICTS watchful eye and swamped them in the marshy sources of Srveet Briar Lake. We returned their hospitality with a house-warming at the Tea House. Last but not least, to use a trite expression abhorred by Dr. JonES, we come to our honorary member, MlSS LouiSA Stone Ste ENSON. Since she joined our ranks she has entered into our work and our play in a way that we have greatly appreciated. We are all very much attached to her and sincerely hope that the Fresiiman OF THE Facl ' LTy will remain with us throughout our college career. %  BRIAR FATCn THOMAS HERBERT THOM.AS I HE COLLEGE.

In iheir play ihey do not notice a stranger who has entered behind them and is watching intently their Mistress Persephone. It is Pluto, the god ol the gloomy underworld. In her search for the brightest blossoms, Persephone roams nearer the dark king of the shades. The god seizes her and bears her swiftly off to his shadowy kingdom, while her maidens, straying among the trees, are ignorant of the theft. They turn to look for their mistress, but they can not find her. Frightened at her loss, they are about to rush off when they are checked in their flight by the entrance of the Mother herself, Demeter, the goddess of the growing wheat and corn. The terrified girls tell the Mother of the daughter ' s disappearance, and sorrowing Demeter and the maidens depart from the hill. II WlNTEl It is night and a few stars appear. The moon rises and more stars are gradually visible. In the guise of an old woman, Demeter enters, searching for her lost child. As she crosses the footway, she meets Celeus and his child leading their goats. She joins them and they go out together. Demeter wanders on. Finally she coriies across Arethusa, the water-nymph, sitting by her pool. Arethusa tells Demeter who it is that has taken her daughter away, and in the company of the nymph. Demeter throws off her disguise. The scene changes to the Court of Jupiter. Jupiter and his train enter. To his throne comes Demeter, praying for the return of her daughter. Jupiter promises that Persephone shall be restored, provided that she has eaten none of the food of the under- world. Hebe is sent for Mercury, the messenger- of the gods. She returns with him, and Jupiter commands him to bid Pluto return Persephone to her mother. Jupiter then leads off his train. It is early dawn. Aurora appears, leading in the day. 93 BRIAR PATCH III Spring In the fields are Demeter and her maidens, anxiously watching for the arrival of Persephone. At last she enters, led by Mercury. The joyful Demeter withdraws her curse from the harvests and spring is brought back again to the earth.

While this was not so difficult a demand as it would have been if she had required me to be funny, it hampered me somewhat in my attempt, because m the whole performance I knew of but one opportunity for a joke. As this came in the begmnuiE;, we will have it early and ha e it over. The play was well started on Monday night. Caliban had just made his first entrance to the accompaniment of a deafening chorus of tree-toads when the doleful prophecies of these animals were fulfilled and it began to rain. The audience put their sofa-pillow seats over their heads and through these and the voices of the frogs attempted to catch a few scraps of the conversation in the dell. At last it was decided to abandon the mock Tempest in favor of the real. At ten o ' clock the next morning the play started again in the bright sunshine. We had feared that the illusion of the costumes and scene might have been dispelled by the broad daylight. Nothing, though, could have been lovelier than the setting of shining leaves and water. (.At this point I might again use the tempest in the reverse order, but I will refrain.) Bessie Grammer, as Ariel, was a charming spirit in her dainty costume of white and green. Her song in the tree was lovely, although, owing to the daytime performance, her precarious ascent of the ladder to the bough was not concealed as was intended to be by the shades of night. By the force of contrast, Caliban comes ne.xt to my mind. In the person of Anne Schutte he was a most bestial creature. She played this very difficult part with unusual skill, writhing on the ground, moaning and muttering, and falling into a drunken hilarity. Mary Tyler, as Ferdinand, was one of the handsomest and most engaging ol her many successful lovers. That sentence gives an entirely wrong impression, but what I intended to say was that the part of Ferdinand was one of the most attractive among the many suitor ' s parts that she has taken. His Miranda was sweet and lovely, a little difficult to hear at times. Helen Beye took this role of the daughter of Prospero. Prospero himself was not as dominating a personage in this play as he appeared in some performances. No one could have mastered the difficulties of his part as well as Helen Lamfrom. As a whole, the play was one of the most beautiful of the out-of-door representations, and it is impossible to be anything but entirely serious in praise of the merits of the complete effect. BRIAR EATCH The Tempest FAIR gentlefolk who have assembled to our eiiteitaiiiment, we bid you welcome to this our enchanted island. Take heed to yourselves, for the spot we stand on is magic ground. Shortly will the air be thick with the plays of trixsies and elves, and likewise the wondrous doings of one Prospero, a great master of sprites and monsters; which wonders and many like them we will, an it please you, discover to you presently.
