OREWORDm In this, our fifth annual, edited for the first time by the Junior Class, we have tried to put all that in future time may serve to call up happy memories of their last year at college to the Class of 1915, in whose honor the year book is made, and also to every student at Sweet Briar. We ask only that our readers %cill j)ass lenient judgment upon the book, and will make allowance for the fact that the task of growing a Briar Patch ' ' is somewhat difficult.

If tlie s| liin were asl ed wily tlie I ' ierian sprinf; is no more, tliat lady (or is it an animal, or lioth?) would answer, Louise ri iL;i-r. That is the correct answer. Acting upon the advice of Pope, Louise has drnnk so deeply of the waters of the famous spriufj that she has left only a few drops to he distributed among the rest of the stu- dent body. And yet, contradictory to the fact that she is a regular fi.sh iu regard to drinking, in every other respect she is a shark. If it weren ' t for her, what would the magazine do? If it weren ' t for her, what would Grammar do? And if it weren ' t for her, what would Student Goveinment do?

No — not the whole year long- - And when the Juniors gave tlitir |; We danced as Freshmen roses And swayed there in their garden With many graceful poses. We showed our prowess, too. that By skillfully debating. And roundly beat the Sophomores. Our facts more clearly stating. Another class then met defeat (Fll mention it in whispers. For we rarely ever speak of it Because they were our sisters). As Sophomores, I must confess. We, by our clever wits, Led many silly Freshmen Into dark and awful pits. And taught them by experience What then was common knowledgi That our class, nineteen fifteen. Was just the best in college. We showed our true class spirit 21 lav i_ 7i ' Aiii By liaiiiiin;- many banners. But all the while remembered that We keep our courteous manners.

ALE When Jean leaves chapel on Monday morning (for a class, as she consci- entiously assures us, though dark rumors have spread that it is really for a rendez- vous with Miss Morenus), tlie Student Government meeting immediately under- goes a drop of several degrees in tone, due to the absence of her intellectual powers. Jean is a high flyer in more ways than one. Her voice is high, her marks in Mathematics are high, and lier bills at the tea house, after treating many members of the faculty to chicken salad, are very high. KKBEC ' CA STOUT No less accomplislied than beautiful, she can dance, dress, and draw men. pic- tures, and stitches. As a recreation, she indulges her passion for chemics and horticulture, though sometimes confusing the two. as when she mistook sulphuric acid for a rose, to the great discomfiture of her olfactory organ. 28 Junior Class History THE FABLE OF 1916 (With Apologies to George Ade) ri5° OST Class Histories resemble the sentimental Mush a Maiden Lady usually engraves on the Tombstone of her jiet Poodle. If the Poodle ever sneaked out from his hidden Lair in the Happy Hunt- ing Ground and saw the Rot printed over his (irave. he would be eharmed and pleased to go baek in again. He would know he eouldn ' t ever lioi)e to live u)) to the Re]) his doting Mistress liad given him. It is the same way with Class Histories. Tliey are all a variegated Nosegay of Lies that the Class can never live either down or uj) to. It wouldn ' t want to. If it thought it was as near the last step to Perfection as it is rejiresented, it would stub one Toe against another Toe on Purpose and sit down. The Historian seems to feel that .she will get a star-raising Swat in the region of her Cerebral Hemispheres if she doesn ' t lie like a Tr()0])er and say her Class is the only One that never showed the larva Form of a h ' ault. I am not afraid of the Swat in the Bean because the Chief Magistrate of our Class is so Thin that she has to swallow 16 Ounces of pure Lead before she can make a Fly feel dizzy. But Conventionality has grabbed my Hair in one Hand, .iiid if I sliouid try a new Departure in Class Histories and start to write the Tr ith. 1 sliould be jerked up. Our first year here bore a family resemblance to the first year of every other Class. Only a prejudiced Mother could have distinguished any difference. Of course the Sojihoniores considered L ' s only as Bugs too big to be stepped on. They couldn ' t poison us with Powder, either; so they hung Sang Froid about their ears and made a Big Pretense of giving L s the cold Shoulder. But we could see that Worry was their mother ' s Maiden Name, and that they had begun to applique Anxiety on to their Features. Those were the Days of Rapid Action and the Nights of Tall Hustling. We blackmailed the Shop Clerk at Guggenheimer ' s. 29 The Outcome was a Banner. Of course We felt Big-. We hung our Emblem on the Refectory, and then we sat down to listen to the crawling of the Sojiliomores ' Hesh. The Sound was Music to our Auditory Organs. Tout ensemble we rendered a stirring Carol of tlie IMarcli we copped on the Sophs. But that Episode did not somid tlie last trumpet Call to our Fame during tliat first year. In the Spring we went in for Tennis — Freshmen always do — and because the Ciink that held the urn was sleeping at tlie Switch, we grabbed the Cup and made a clean Get-away. That made us feel like Big Bugs, and the other classes like degenerate Gnats aimlessly buzzing around a rotten Banan.i. Our Sophomore year was dented in tlie middle by one Big Success. Otherwise it presented the photograpliic Appearance of the product of that domesticated Biped, the Hen — or an overgrown zero. The one Big Success was the Affair of the Caps and Gowns. Since it lias been stuck into all the Modern American Histories on Page sixty-nine beside the Life-size jiortrait of Valley Forge. I need only say that in that affair We sicked Fear onto the .luiiiors. It made them both pie-Eyed and slue-Toed They began to think we were unrefined Bums, but tlie Seniors put us down in their Social Register as their right-hand Men. Success almost robbed us of our Perspective. Ambition whispered Sweet Nothings in our Ears, and we determined to pry a room loose from Miss Carroll to use for Class Purposes. We named it The Sojiho- more Study. The Name was just a Blind. It suited the Room as well as the Appellative Gwendolyn suits a cross-eyed girl without any Teeth, but we draped it becomingly in our Class Dewdads and thought the Elevator had taken Us up two flights in the Hall of Fame. This year Pui)lie Opinion ranks us Half-way between Congress and the French Academy. We really are the Whole Cheese, but not the comiiKui Mouse ' arietv. We have some genuine Schweitzer holes in our flanks because some of our Members decided our Pace was too swift for Them. They preferred to grow the common garden Variety of domestic Capabilities at home rather than to raise an ornamental Hedge of Higher Education here. 30 ( i % In tlif flioitf of tlieir Wnetations they made a great Krror. for some men ))refer Intellect to Ajiple Pie and Doughnuts. As a Class, we are wliat Homer terms (). K. None of us has ever obeyed that Impulse and gone swinging across the X ' erdant Campus smoking Fatinias in the inimitable Manner in wlii -li a deficient Chinniey I ' hii smokes u|i a I-Io ise. Though Temptations surround us here in the Country like leaves the Head ot a Cauliflower, we have never indulged our Craving for strong alcoholic drinks. As one, we have ever downed King Alcohol and flouted the Demon Rum. There is not one first-clas.s Murderer among us — and not even a Thief tii.it would Pass in a Crowd of one thousand infuriated Citizens. In other Words, the .Moral is this: do, the directors of our College uoiild in a Cabinet.

Buffington President Marion I-. Peele Vice-President Sue Slaughter Secret an Katherine Wilson Treasurer EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Eugenia W. Griffin Mary Parker I-ELiA Dew Dorothy Taylor The Association of Alumnae and Former Students of Sweet Briar College is still in its infancy, and the actual facts of things accomplished in its history are naturally rather few. Its plans and aspirations, however, are many and large. This Association, a consolidation of two former Associations, was formed last .Tune during Commencement week. Early in the fall the work of enlisting members and organizing all alumnae and former students into small chapters or groups was begun. As the annual goes to press, many of the chapters are still in the process of making. The New York. Piiiladelpliia, Chicago, Norfolk, Tri-State (Kentucky. West Virginia, and Ohio), and Birmingham chapters, however, have been thoroughlv organized and are in sjileudid working order. They ' re all tackling, right away, the problem of raising money for the Endowment Fund. According to our Constitution, the purpose of the Association is to keep tlie alumna ' and former students in touch with one another and with the college, and to jjromote the interests of the college. And it is in this latter pliase that the bigness of our purpose lies, for by it many, many avenues of service are opened to every member. We ' re looking forward with great expectation to tlie cooperation and support of the Class of 1915 and all those going out from Sweet Briar next .Tune. To them we extend our best wi.shes for all success and good fortune. Eugenia M.

There is still, however, the eternal drawback — lack of funds. To the visionary, Avho has dreams of a ])ei-fectly e(|ui|)i)cd gymnasium, a swimming-pool, a golf course, tennis and hasket-hall courts which are always in condition, the present state of affairs is rather discouraging. These are all circmnstances which a very few thousand dollars could altei- i-emark- ably — but drciiin.s are pleasant things! And so, at times, are the realities. We all a])preciate the bless- ings of our little lake so snugly hidden among the hills. It is not too large, and not too small — in short, it is the happy medium which makes pei-fection. Every swimmer delights in the cool currents of its depths, and the beginner ' s soul soars in joy as it sees the inviting- comfort and safety of the ])en. Eake Day M-as a gi-eat event, with boat races between the classes, swims to the dam. to the first raft and the second. The Seniors quite carried the day — and now the whole college honors 191.5 as it waves above the boathouse. Basket-ball soon tin-ned the lake into a lonely place. Middies and bloomers wei-e regulation uniforms for several months — at first outdoors and then indoors. Teams were picked, and the interclass sti-uggles began. Sophomores lived in delight at the sight of a limp- ing Freshman, and the whole college sympathized with the hard-hit referees, INIiss Gascoigne and Miss Chancy. At present the eyes of all are turned to the telling matches between the Special and College teams, and vague rumors of Dormitoiy teams set ambitious hearts to beating fast. A bookworm, interested in annuals, delved into the annals of last year ' s Field Day and came to the wonderful discovery of untold regions of stunts which were waiting for those who did not indulo-e in swimming- or l)a.sket-ball. Shot-put, relays, broad jump, high jump, and other such events beckon invitingly to ambitious seekers of the S. B. We cherish, in our midst, the wonderful knowledge that our Jimmie, otherwise known as Ellen Hayes, has broken two world records — hop, skip and jump, and the running broad jump. So, after the marvels we have seen her perfoi-m, two of them, at least, are to be accepted by the Athletic Committee of Records. Still the vista i)roadens! Tennis tournaments — interclass and individual teams. Nine fine tennis courts — with such small drawbacks as poor backstops — daily charm white-robed figures, whom we might consider angels but for their ruby faces. Then again, when those ruby faces seem on the point of bursting into flame, the figures turn and flee to the lake, which ever ofl ' ers its cool refreshment to hot and weary Jl wielders of the tennis racket. flj r There are still three small things fl||fe which must be mentioned: (1) a hori- zontal bar — the trial of every Carson and Grey grind, for gurgles of delight unceasingly lure the busy student to the fJ HB. window to behold manifold tricks of the jj HL. (left performer; (2) a huinhle-puppn i J|| -- 7 pule, whose alku-ements none of us have •v BHHIi as yet desired to inspect, due, probalily, to a fear of the sting; (3) a sthetic dancing, the desire and ambition of e ery awkward student in college. Miss Gascoigne does really, at times, turn some of them into Graces, l)ut some others — ve gods! 62 B a s k B e a t 1 1 CLARE ER K Foricards COLLEGE PURCELL HEAD OF BASKET-BALL TEAMS SPECIALS SENIOR-SOPHOMORE )D.l I Lewis, Captain ,. , Purcell (Steele) r orwards -.

In the distance was heard the sound of voices Iiappih ' announcing the fete of the May Queen. Gradually the boxwood circle became filled with tlie subjects, who strolled and sauntered about, until suddenly the music began. Instantly the setting changed. Eagerly pressing forward, the blossoms formed an aisle, faces turned expectantly in one direction. Slowly and gracefully appeared the procession of girls, clad in soft rainbow hues, strewing flowers in the path of the Queen. She a])peared. a new-found butterfly, a delicate flower, the fair Queen of the May. Graciously smiling on her bowing subjects, she gained the flowery throne. The coronation ceremonies over, she arose and gave fitting welcome to all, and bade them be merry. Again there was a subtle change. Dancers appeared, and with sinuous arms, skipping feet, and smiling faces, sought favor of their Queen as tlicy danced before her throne. The May pole was wound, unwound, braided and unbraided for her pleasure. When all had fiiiishfd. tin- ( ufen arose, and. hctwetn aisles of subjects and irt. passed out under flowery arches.

With a most creditable interpretation of the eharaeter. Ellen Hayes appeared as Gavin Dishart, the little mini.ster. Martlia Darden. as I.ady Babbie, supplied all the charm and ingenuity necessary for her role, and the scenes between hero and heroine won well-deserved applause. Racliel Forbush was Lord Rintoul. a character wliiih she represented with great ability, while Ruth Watkins made a dashing Captain Hallowell. Rebecca Stout was a most appealing little Micah Dow. Harriet Evans brought out the eharaeter of Rob Dow to the best advantage. Jane Henderson, Alice Swain, and Rebekah Patton were a very humorous trio of elders, and Dorothy Lydecker, as Thomas Whamond, the chief elder, showed marked ability. Anne Schutte filled to perfection the part of kindly old Nannie Webster. May Foster, too, made a charming Felice. Jane Tyler, as Sergeant Davidson. Edith Christie, as Joe Cruiekshanks, and Floy Huntley and Constance Russell, as servants, were all well suited to their parts, and acted splendidly. MONDAY, JUNE FIRST. 8:00 P. M.

In ■ = a grove Pan and his Satyrs leap and frolic. Suddenly the god sees • ])( an altar, built for him by faithful followers. Quickly he climbs upon it while the Satyrs dance in glee before him. But soon three shep- herds come to honor the god who has blessed their flocks. The sport is interrupted — the Satyrs hide themselves from mortals ' eyes. Only the great god Pan remains, motionless upon his altar like a statue bright and new. Such the shepherds believe him to be. They lay their offerings at his feet and then depart. Just as the shei)lierds leave, the beautiful maiden. Syrinx, comes wandering through the groves. She marvels at the new figure of the woodland god, and follows the shepherds to ask the meaning of it. Thrilled with pleasure over the maiden ' s beauty. Pan comes down from his altar and sends the Satyrs for the Winds to help him in his wooing. The South and West Winds obey the summons and promise to search for Syrinx. II Syrinx is again wandering through the grove. There the Satyrs see her come to play. For gentle Syrinx they soon become all too rough and boisterous play- mates, and she welcomes the appearance of Diana and her maidens, who are ready for the chase. The virgin goddess sternly bids the Satyrs flee, and they obey her orders. She lingers to see the mountain iiym] lis and moon sjiirits dance before her. then leads her followers to the chase. Ill The Winds are faithful to the promise made to Pan. They lull the maiden ' s fears to rest, entice her from the chase, and lead her to the grove where Pan jwaits them. He woos Syrinx, but her timid heart is frightened, and she flees. With Arethusa and the water nvmphs, who are playing in a stream, she finds pro- tection. Quickly Arethusa acts, and by her power fair Syrinx is changed into a reed. Pan still rushes on in mad pursuit. At the stream he halts — and picks the reed. Tlie nymphs scatter in alarm, and Pan dances off with joy in his heart.

The Fund has taken a remarkable start this year, as all readers of the bulletin- board know. Among the most interesting notices of the year have been those show- ing the various talents that were being put to use for the Endowment Fund Tutoring, mending, cooking, fortune-telling, and other things too numerous to mention have been carried on by individual girls to swell the Fund. The various organizations, classes, state clubs, and particularly the College Club, have added good-sized sums from time to time. Members of the faculty, too, have contributed, and the spatter work done by Miss Prenez and Miss Liardet has hel])ed the I ' uud considerably. From outside of the college, too, has come much interest. The Association of Alumnae and Former Students is working in many ways for this Fund, and a number of gifts have come through this Association from individuals. The various chapters are planning to raise money in an organized way. With all this splendid cooperation from every one tlie Endowment Fund is certain to go on growing rajiidly and reach the million mark. Before mc aim at exactly a million, we are going to aim from time to time at smaller sums. Wc are just now aiming at ten thousand dollars. One large gift of a thousand dollars has been promised in case we can bring the total amount to ten thousand by this Commencement, .Tune first. Let us see if we can not accomplish this. ISIaRV K.

FROM THE DIARY OF A PSEUDO-SCIEXTIST (Dedicated to the True Scientist) DEDICATION Tliougli I admire tlie I.sopods. Albeit in humble style, Although I reverently speak Of germ and blastostyle. Of Bugula and Balanus, And love to scrape a pile. My scientific cerebrum Grows weary after while. And my primordial mind reverts When terms and classes fail — I call a Mercenaria, clam. And Littorina, snail — Then I receive from every side Such direful looks and bale. That I should like to have a shell. Or wear a coat of mail ; So, hence, I dedicate to you My doleful little tale. Tliat you may know wliene ' er in 1 My labels are awry. When I pass by Perophora With an unseeing eye. And when upon a slide I fail Euglena to espy. Though over empty slides I seek With low power and with high. I do not seek in all these ways True science to decry, But Lembus and Spirostomum Are swifter far than 1. And often fail to stop and call When they are passing by. Therefore, think not. whene ' er your lam)) Is gleaming like a star, And I gaze at your little room From lower ground afar. Tliat I would scorn to have a place Where oil-emersions are. Thougli 1 could never liope to live ' ith you upiiu n |)ar. To Protozoan. Tunicate, To sponges fresli and dried. To dorso-ventral, sagital. And transverse sectioned slide. To embryonic ectoderm. And entoderm inside. To tliorax of Potato-Bug. Witli markings striped and jiied. To all tlie little specimens Who in the cause have died. To all who underneath the lid Of science ever pried. To all who thirst for Ph. D. ' s. And thirst ungratified. I dedicate the works of one To whom has been denied The bliss of seeing cilia. Although she oft lias lied. Wlien she saw Paramoecium Before her swiftlv glide. 146 And sdlil slif saw tlie cilia In tiie swiftly moving tidf . The cirri and the memhranelles. And many more besides. ' J ' hat only Arthropods could see — Those creatures com])ound-eyed- But it is time to go to work. And let mv souti subside. So if ray lay seems long drawn out. . nd you may think it rough. Remember that in science You can never know enough. And should never give conclusions Upon a mass of stuff. For if you draw conclusions You are nothing but a bluff. rABV B. PiNKERTON, UIKi. SOME NEW AND IMPORTANT THOUGHTS CONCERNING EDUCATION New and hvUvv ideas on tlie siii)ject of edueatioii are ra])idly fomiii ' - into proniiiit ' iice. and nearly every intellif ent person now admits tliat the classroom oii iht to be a place of entertainment, and that the office of the teacher is primarily to amuse in some maimer, instructive if possible. Also, it is becoming- (luite oenerally admitted that methods involving- any mental effort on the ])art of the student are not to be tolerated under any circumstances. A book of the most profound educational value has recently appeared, to which the attention of the French department of every progres.sive college should be called. This book marks a wonderful advance in the new methods of education, and will never fail to hold the interest of .students, since it is concerned with one of the most absorbing sul)jects of modern science. It is a thrilling account hi French of a world ' s championship pugilistic contest. Of course this l)ook is largely intended for use in men ' s colleges, but since girls are daily becoming more and more like their brothers, and such scientific sports as wrestling are popular at even a conservative college like Sweet Briar, it is conceivable that such a work might be useful in almost any institution of learning. Any student who takes uj) this iiook. no matter how hard a foreign language may be to him (or her), will be able to understand it almost immediately, for if the French text jirove obscure at any 1-17 point, he (or she) has only to look at the En .lish translation nnder- neath. For the higher classes, variations in the nse of the hook may he suggested. For instance, the teacher may read the French text aloud to the class. If any memhers happen to understand it. these may take notes on the suhject matter; others may slumher sweetly, lulled hy the tones of the instructor ' s voice, which should be modulated to a soothing pitch. The author of this remarkable book. Professor I ' atrick Krebs. A. B. (Art of Boxing), shows a most profomid knowledge of the pugilistic art. In fact, it is on account of his great ability as boxing and wrestling coach that he holds his position of Instructor in French at the Nutville Academy for Boys. The following extract will gi ■e an idea of the rare value of the work : Dans le premier ccrclc. le-iils-dc-Jcau a fail iin mouvcmcut vircu- In the first round, Johnson oin-lt-.l laire autour de son nntagonistc, h ponlc-pctit jHsaniciir comhattaut .

Such a s))irit of envy and emulation is not to be luoiiraged. however, and we are strong advocates of the Hofflins-l- ' or.ver movement, as tending to supi)re.ss all rivalry in the clothes line.

Heroines come and heroines go, but the memory of Jim remains as a halo about the head of the ])ast, an ideal to which every would-he athlete would give her best crepc-dc-chinr negligee to attain. The famous day when she broke two world ' s records will be forever a tale with wliich to regale the Freshies in hushed tones, and with assurances that the college has never been the .same since she left in a special train (No. ) amid loud acclamations. 149 ' ith a .•,igli for tlie good old days, we return to tlie present.

She lias, however, the able assistance of Miss G. when the aforementioned lady will allow herself to be torn away from Christie and the war news. This association is an important factor in our lives. In fact, each one of us believes in it to such an extent that we walk all the every afternoon, solely for the strenuous exercise.

The Endoxvmeiit Fund. — Tliis is the common l)ond wliicli unites every class in Sweet Briar, because everybody is trying to get money out of everybody else, for the Endowment Fund. This, of course, requires almost diabolical ingenuity. Dignified Seniors have condescended to darn hose for a price (small holes, 10 cents; large ones, 25); those who attain to an average grade of C— in I.atin or French claim to be proficient tutors in those subjects; others with less imagination become hairdressers and mas.seuses.
