Miss McVea was born in Louisiana. She was educated at St. Mary ' s School, Raleigh, N. C, where she was a teacher and afterwards principal. Later she studied at Cornell, and in Washington at the Columbia University. She taught in Washington, D. C, and was assistant Professor of English Literature at the University of Tennessee, which she left to assume the duties of Professor of English and Dean of Women at the University of Cincinnati, in 1904. Miss McVea was much more than a part of the teaching staff at Cincinnati. She was in every si?nse a citizen of the community. Just prior to her departure from Cincinnati, the organizations to which she had belonged during her twelve years ' sojourn in the city planned a unique testimonial to her services and fellowship. Twenty-seven organiza- tions with which she had been intimately associated joined in an expression of apprecia- tion of what her life among them had meant. Few women have called forth the tributes accorded that evening to the new president of Sweet Briar College. On commencement day, in June, 1916, the University of Cincinnati conferred on Miss McVea the honorary degree of Doctor of Letters, in appreciation of her work to advance and strengthen the institution of which she had so long been a part, and in anticipation of what lay before her in her still larger field of influence. Sweet Briar had always held an enviable place among women ' s colleges, and there are few institutions of its size that draw their patronage from so wide an area. Unfortunately, however, the secondary department was encroaching in importance upon the college proper, and it is in regard to Miss McVea ' s efforts to overcome this circumstance that we are chiefly interested. Three years ago, the College was credited with one hundred and three students (twenty-one of whom were specials), and ninety-nine sub-freshmen in the preparatory department. This year the Freshmen number one hundred and twenty-nine; the Sophomores number fifty-six; the total number of College students is two hundred and fifty-three. By action of the Board of Ti-ustees, the Preparatory Department (the Academy) will be discontinued after June, 1919. In September, 1919, Sweet Briar will be altogether a College. Our faculty consists of thirty-three highly trained men and women. Our science laborator ies have been greatly enlarged and augmented during the past two years and a half. Our library now numbers over seven thousand volumes. New courses have been offered in Bacteriology, in Botany, in Greek, in History, in Psychology, in Ethics, in English, and in the Romance Languages. A separate department of Physics has been established, and next year a department of Economics and Social Science will be organized. With additional buildings, and with an endowment. Sweet Briar can become within the next five or six years H College of five hundred students, and take its rightful place in the educational world. These few facts speak for themselves, and while we realize that it has taken and will take many hands to carry on the work, we feel, too, that words can but poorly express our gratitude and admiration for Miss McVea ' s splendid initiative and accomplishment.

Sweet Briar, looking back over the past two years, must ask herself searchingly : Did I fail as a college; did my students, II ; i -; li individually, rise to the height of their opportunities and respon- sibilities? We, like all other colleges, engaged in many war activities ; we raised a good deal of monej% we supported the Food Administration, we worked for the Y. W. C. A. and for the Red Cross, we cared for French and Belgian children. However, now that the stress has passed, we wish regretfully that we had done more. We think of our mistakes and lost opportunities rather than of our accomplishments. Upon one thing we have determined, the great experience of the past two years shall not leave us unchanged. With all our might we will hold to the ideals of courage, of high purpose, of patriotism, and of humanity which these stern months have taught us ; we will endeavor, to the utmost of our ability, as a college and as individuals, to do our part in interpret- ing to our generation the larger, finer meaning of democracy and of internationalism. Sweet Briar, even in its exquisite seclusion, has felt the throb, the heartbeat of the world. Her life has been enlarged and enriched by a share, small but real, in the activities and sacrifices of the nations of the earth. It has been our high privilege to have lived and wrought in the greatest years of the world ' s history. 13 riir College 38: iJSt P Still greater and moi-e difficult days lie before us. Many of the binding traditions and prejudices of the past must die, true ideals of inter- nationalism based upon love of country and of race, true conceptions of social order and social justice must be born. In the new era now dawning, woman will play an increasingly responsible part in the life of the com- munity. She must be hospitable to new ideas, courageous in facing new difficulties and new burdens, unswerving in devotion to democratic ideals and principles. She must be imbued with a sense of the value and the joy of life. Sweet Briar rejoices in the strong young lives which she is sending forth to share in the work and in the achievement of the new world. To the best future of that world we dedicate, we consecrate the coming years. i B c fl( Oe Clasgc ' -- fQ I5ENIDR5I M 15 3= ■iiCi2 irC W :i)c Classes ]fl 0= ?

BENEDICT Honorary Member of Class of Nineteen-Nii :A C fefiC Li)c Glasses 38 T SENIOR CLASS HISTORY HE Class of Nineteen-Nineteen arrived at Sweet Briar in Septem- ber, 1915, large in number, bold in spirit, and fired with the ambition to make a mark in college and later in the world. The first few months of college life were hard and disillusioning, but Nineteen-Seventeen proved itself a sister Class worth boasting about, and helped Nineteen-Nineteen in her early efforts, taught her her A B C ' s, and showed her the path wherein she should plant her faltering footsteps. Early in the year the daughters of Nineteen-Nineteen came to be known as Husky Bunch, and as Husky Bunch they will stand in the annals of Sweet Briar. During the first year, Nineteen- Nineteen conducted herself like any well-behaved Freshman Class, partak- ing in religious, social, and athletic affairs. Her most conspicuous success was that of her first Class play, Mice and Men. Besides many other interesting and enlightening things, Nineteen-Nineteen learned in that year that work, hard and persevering work, was necessary to help ambition over the stony paths of knowledge to her goal of a much-coveted degree. Nineteen-Nineteen returned to Sweet Briar in the fall of Nineteen- Sixteen, in a rather belligerent state of mind, determined to make the Freshmen realize the great and overwhelming difference that one year can make. Nineteen-Twenty had the advantage of numbers to offset Nine- teen-Nineteen ' s superiority, and Class fights of a ferocious nature were the inevitable outcome. Studying, being of secondary importance, was pushed to the wall, and classes were sparsely attended by Freshmen and Sopho- mores, who sat up all night in trees, or made midnight ascensions to the ceiling of the Refectory. Nineteen-Nineteen is inordinately proud of the fact that all the Classes, including ' Twenty, were obliged to eat a meal under ' Nineteen ' s banner. Also ' Nineteen gained a considerable pleasure from the fact that the Freshmen, thru fear and uncertainty, left the dining- room one night en masse, and missed ice cream for dessert. There was considerable loss of temper and of hair resulting from a wholly original kind of Dog Show. After sevei-al bloody engagements, Nineteen- Nineteen asserted her right for fair play in a heated withdrawal from College Club. The powers that be, fearing that violent deaths, and certainly some D ' s, would result from such civil strife, brought about a SZJJL |rC ' [)c Classes 29 m i2? cessation of hostilities, and ' Nineteen and ' Twenty found they had some reconstruction work to do. In the spring, Nineteen-Nineteen, accompanied by Nineteen-Seventeen, planted ivy, and sang, Cheer the College Lion in honor of her mascot, whom Miss Benedict dignified by the name of Phoebus. In June, Nineteen-Nineteen sadly watched the Seniors graduate, and wondered if she could be as helpful a sister Class to ' Twenty-One. In the fall of Nineteen-Seventeen, her Junior year, ' Nineteen came back to Sweet Briar with the realization that her work was half done, and a feeling of wonder as to how all the rest of her education could be crowded into two years. She set to work heroically, and oft indulged her new-gained privilege of sitting up after lights. She was sadly set back and discouraged thruout the year by the capricious attacks of one Miss Smith, who taught E-conomics. After many trials and tribu- lations, including Delia May ' s desertion on the plea of matrimony, Nine- teen-Nineteen produced her Annual, which she dedicated to the Walkers, in token of her appreciation of their friendship for the College. This last year, Nineteen-Nineteen, finding herself a Senior, and much in the public, deemed it necessary to modify her behavior a little, to suit the commands of convention, which expects one of her position to be sedate and dignified, and above all wise and studious. It was not until Founders ' Day, in November, when Nineteen-Nineteen first appeared in cap and gown, that she fully realized how much was expected of her. Thereafter, she conducted herself accordingly, and accepted as her due the little favors and courtesies which the Freshmen were obliged to show her. One afternoon, she entertained at tea in the Senior study, decorated for the occasion. Congressman Chandler, of New York. Miss McVea ' s dinner to the Seniors, in S. B. house, was a gala occasion, on which the more illustrious members of the Class toasted spirits in general, and the spirits of Sweet Briar and of Nineteen-Nineteen in particular. After mid-year ' s were passed, Nineteen-Nineteen settled herself for the final dash for the goal. There were so many things to be done, and after June so many new problems to face and new decisions to make. But Nineteen-Nineteen kept her head up and face forward, with high ideals and anticipations for the future. 4 c = J= i Wu SX LftcClas.u Ht I Cfc= T IJUNIDRSI : C £ t dK €iK Classc: Tp Z I !B= JUNIOR CLASS Colors : Amethyst and Gold Flower : Clematis Motto: Factum non Verbum OFFICERS Ida Massie President Helen Johnston Vice-President Gwendolyn Barret Secretary Isabel Webb Treasurer Katherine Armstrong Geraldine Ball Gwendolyn Barret Helen Beeson Helen Bishop Mary Virginia Crabbs Mattie Hammond Nancy Hanna y i .

' Tis some devilment, I muttered, centered ' round my chamber door Classes fighting — all is gore. Ah, distinctly I remember, it was in the bleak December That each separate Freshman member packed her trunk upon the floor; Eagerly we sought the station, longing for the long vacation ; On the puffing train rushed smiling; fifty Freshmen all beguiling. Trains were late, and sleepers cold; but quoth each girl at destination, Home again once more. After days of endless eating, while we danced, our hearts fast beating, Came we back to days of groaning, groaning for exams, to come; Soon we cursed our days of playing, soon we ceased our wild delaying. Then we boned on French and history— subjects fraught with deepest mystery ; D ' s were present everywhere, sobs and moanings filled the air. Quoth the Fi-eshman, Nevermore. As Sophomores we grew less dense, each one tried to show her sense; Kempie put us thru our tricks, putting things in some big fix ; Each day we were getting bolder, chilly glance made Freshie colder. Seniors acted as big sisters, showing us a thing or two ; As the springtime days were flitting, we were on the campus sitting. Quoth we Sophomores, Half is o ' er. 43 =c ' lir Classr 3 As to Junior state we rose, we aided Freshmen in their woes, While the Sophomores wildly shrieked, trying to reach Freshmen weak Stood we there with hands of power, on those Sophomores stern did glower We will make some rules deciding, Freshmen must be law-abiding- Only this, and nothing more. Now we stand, true and agreeing, honored and respected beings, Look we back on deeds now done, look we on to deeds ahead ; Anxious are we to be driving to that goal where we are striving ; As our days so fast are fleeting, as new duties we are meeting. As we look to days as Seniors, with those dignified demeanors, Quoth we Juniors, One year more. « c M dii € K €lcis.r- rQ : ISOFHDnPRESi 1 45 %m I :Ik Classes 38= c:t= i MISS SIMRALL Advisory Member CLASS OF NINETEEN TWENTY-ONE A Cfc il :fir Classc: } SOPHOMORE CLASS Colors: Peacock Blue and Green Class Bird: Peacock Motto: Virtus }wn Honores + OFFICERS Florence Ives President Julia Bruner Vice-President Fanny Ellsworth Secretary Mary Taylor Treasurer CLASS ROLL Majorie Abraham Fanny Ellsworth Gertrude Pauley Emma Adams Isabelle Frank Katherine Pennewill Josephine Ahara Ruth Geer Shelley Rouse Julia Albers Isabel Godwin Sigrid Schold Rhoda Allen Eleanor Gould Florence Scovell Gertrude Anderson Catherine Hanitch Marion Shafer Ruth Armistead Fredericka Hackman Madelon Shidler Madeline Bigger Frances Helmick Elizabeth Shoop RussE Blanks Katherine Hauch Ophelia Short Genevieve Brosius Florence Ives Ruth Simpson Julia Bruner Dorothy Job Margaret Spengel Elizabeth Cole Lucille Johnson Mary Stinson Mary Cowan Ruth Lundholm Clair Taylor Catherine Cordes Mary McLemore Katherine Taylor Emma Davis Mary Belle McNally Mary Taylor Katherine Davis Olive Mitchell Miriam Thompson Edith Durrell Halle Moore Sara Tolar Mildred Ellis Marion North Harriet White Ethel Wilson Ellen Wolf + + + Honoraru Member Class Adriser Miss Leonora Neuffer Miss Josephine P.

Well, you know, last year we was in the infantry, and Mable, we was fine in all our skirmishes. We was particularly good in that game where you wave your arms around and the other feller tries to throw the ball into an iron hoop with a new petticoat on it. And I guess, maybe, we didn ' t get all the prizes in that there field day and the aquatic stuff on the pond. One of the Red Cross guys in our company walked off with two tennis cups. Athletic; that ' s us all over, Mable. But that ' s all ancient history now, Mable. Our general. Miss McVea, she says, You guys is too good for the infantry ; so now we ' re making a big splash in artillery circles. Of course, we ' ve got a new officer now — Major Ives. She ' s very tecknickle, Mable — Y. W., Student Government, and everything. We got a lot of other big bugs in our company, too. Corporal Wilson of the Hockey Division, and Corporal Wolf of the Basket- Bail Section ain ' t the least of ' em. You ought to see the little feller we have that runs all the shows at camp. Captain Taylor, head of Paint and Patches staff. When we first got down here, Mable, we had to do scout duty, and then act as Court Marshal for the 1922 Infantry. But paper ' s too expensive to waste writing about that bunch. Ekonomical ; that ' s us all over, Mable. Then, Mable, we threw a swell blowout for that high- flying 1919 company — that ' s going to leave camp for good in June. The mess sergints done us noble, and the dress uniforms were gorgeous. Later they gave us a swell party back, at the general ' s barracks. We ain ' t had many furlos, Mable — what with all the different kind of flew ' s we ' ve been having. But our Y. W. guys were awful brave, hustling mess on trays over to them hospital quarters. Sympathetic ; that ' s us all over, Mable. Well, I could tell you a lot more of what we ' ve done, but I got to quit now and post guard. At the same time, I ' ll post this letter to you. As a feller rises in the army, he gets less and less time to hisself . I don ' t expect to get my discharge from here till 1921.

Old students felt lost, almost as much as did the new girls themselves, in the mighty horde of strange faces. To add to the natural unsteadiness of the j season, influenza began its campaign before we were fairly settled in our new surroundings. The Y. W. reception, occurring opportunely, helped to keep us on our feet, and created a spirit of fellowship among the newcomers. The first few weeks were spent in discovering Sweet Briar, in making new friends, and in trying to escape the blues. Everything was unfamiliar, and the work appeared hard, as indeed it was under the circumstances. Soon we grew more accustomed to the new order of things, and the Freshman spirit stirred in its sleep. Then came the first excite- ment of the year — a meeting of our Class was held, which ended in a civil war with the Sophomores. The result was a forced peace by the Faculty and upper-classmen, a real Freshman Class, ready for organization, and certain rules prepared for us to live by, with a special uniform to be worn during the early part of the day. A few erring members of the Cla.ss were punished later on, for their open defiance or unconscious violation of these rules. Thruout the year, the Juniors, the members of our sister Class, were our allies, advising and helping us in all our undertakings. They aided us in the choosing of our Cla.ss officers, who were: Stella Gwynn, Presi- dent; Selma Brandt, Vice-Pieaideiit; Margaret Zabriskie, Secvetarij; Ruth Fiske, Treasurer; Amey Smyth, Member of the Honor Council. Miss Anna Blanche Murphy was elected Honorary Member of our Class. The graduat- ing class of nineteen-eighteen bequeathed to us their college insignia, name- ly : Our colors, black and green ; our tree, the oak ; and our motto, Ne obliviscamur. On Founder ' s Day, the Seniors first wore their academic attire in the full gaze of man. Perhaps the Freshmen were not as impressed as they should have been ; but give them time. When they are Seniors, the dignity of their position will come upon them, and they will realize what every Class realizes at that point in its life, and will act accordingly. The signing of the armistice was, of course, the chief event of the year, tho the rumor of peace caused more e.xcitement than the verified facts, subsequently learned. Then came the much-dreaded six-weeks ' tests. y 4tC I 3fr dt= l in which many were defeated. Some fell only to rise again, however ; and our luster was undimmed. We lost a few comrades during the Christmas holidays, and their places were filled by others, more desirous of knowledge than they. Examinations were met and overcome — not without tremors, but with courage worthy of a Freshman Class ; and the new semester opened under favorable auspices. We have proven ourselves, in athletics, worthy foemen of any Class. We are making good in other ways, in social and in academic work. Ours is a record to be proud of ; let us not go back on the reputation gained by us this year, and better it as we progress toward our goal. Tho not perfect, yet we have a fine Class, and the material for a very wonderful one. Let us show the world what we are capable of!

An Englishman has said, Bigger and better is the keynote of American temperament. American colleges mu.st hold that note, and make it sound true. Today we have the right to say of our organization at Sweet Briar: Man, are we grown. . . . We are glad of our heritage. But there is a consequent duty involved in it ; Man ' s work must we do. Let us be glad also of the duty implied in that privilegs. So far we have purposed to cast the bui ' den of responsible judgment and decision iipon the individual, rather than upon executive officers who exemplify methods, not aims. We have believed there is honor and dignity in self- control attained thru such an exercise of the faculties. Finally, we have endeavored to realize our capacities and powers because of their social value. Now we must venture even farther. We must learn to count all our power, strength of mind, body, and soul directly with larger usefulness for country, and the higher ideals of life. The sense of personal achieve- ment must be lost in the nobility of a great national and world conception of service. Every individual must define intelligently his part before the ■whole of our organization can measure up to the fullness of the demand. There is a vagueness in the program of idealism for the new world, it is true; and yet there persists in the heart of every American the definite longing for something bigger and better. We must see its satisfaction, to the greater extension of happiness thru the utilization of our opportuni- ties in training here. For just in proportion as the thought and action of our student-body tends in this direction, will we find encouragement for 63 4 I Cfc= -IZJH K.

CHANGES IN THE CONSTITUTION We are glad to note that, under present ruling, chafing dishes may be used during any time until 10.30 p. m., and also that students may use flashlights for any purpose after lights.

THE CONFERENCE AT BLUE RIDGE HAT ! Do you mean to say you ' ve never even heard of Blue Ridge? Where have you been all this time? I thought everybody in Sweet Briar had heard of our trip last year. There were six of us, ra and we had the best kind of a time. What did we do? Why, everything imaginable. You see the Conference for the student delegates of the Young Women ' s Christian Association is held at Blue Ridge, N. C, every summer, just after college closes. It lasts ten days, and every minute is filled. Last year, there were over six hundred girls there, and the place was packed to overflowing. Where do we stay, did you say? At Robert E. Lee Hall, a huge building in the midst of the mountains. The views on all sides are simply wonderful, and there is a lake near the buildings where you can swim every afternoon. Yes, there are wonderful people there. The men and women who lead the meetings are splendid, and you feel as tho you are all members of one big family, vitally interested in all that is going on. In the morning you go to classes that are so interesting that you hate the hours to go so fast. In the afternoon, you can walk, play tenni.s, basket-ball, or baseball, and swim. In the evening, the whole Conference collects in the auditorium for a mo.st impressive service. After that, your own delegation collects to talk things over. Oh, I almost forget to tell you about mealtime. Meals are served in a one-story building of rough timbers. The delegations sit at long tables, and compare notes. Sometimes the girls sing their college songs, and serenade other colleges. Everybody just seems to bui ' st with pep. You ' ve never met Miss Hawes, have you? She is really the life of the dining- room, and kept us in gales of laughter when she made the announcements. By the end of the ten days, you hate to leave, and your one idea is to get back for the next year ' s Conference. You think you ' ll go? That ' s fine. Maybe we can manage to room together. 71 4IC I :_ ' I H cl M 1 -v U 1 1 U 1 1 ! ]ft o=% UNITED DRIVE FOR 1918-19 MPOSSIBLE? Nothing is impossible! Mr. Chamberlain ' s ring- ing challenge, on November 12, the last evening of the campaign, was assuredly the keynote of this campaign, and certainly of any other campaign in Sweet Briar of the future. It is the challenge of unlimited faith in the possibilities of our College, and of ourselves as members of that College. True indeed is the perfect definition, Faith is assurance of things hoped for, a conviction of things not seen. The enthusiastic promotion committee of thirty-five members, with special departments of finance, publicity, ways and means, did everything that could reasonably be done to make the campus alive to the realities back of the nation-wide campaign of the .seven allied organizations. An attractive, up-to-the-minute bulletin board, and an overwhelming, corn- [jelling deluge of campaign speakers put a real finish on the education of the general college public. Everyone was ready to give to the point of sacrifice. The boys in khaki had gone Over the top to a glorious vic- tory for us; it was our part to stand behind them every minute until the transports brought them to us again. Ten thousand dollars and more was our glad gift to them. Sv eet Briar is welcoming them as they return. Her welcome is sincere, straight- forward. In so far as it lay in her strength to do, she did for those who went forth greatly. iJ 72 0=ii o, ' dK L ri liii-...iuuir. IQ : (?

However, the first play, William Gillette ' s Secret Service, given by the old members of Paint and Patches, quite made up for its tardiness by its excellence. This type of play has never before been attempted here, and its success is an indication that the Dramatic Associa- tion has progressed to the point where it can lay aside trivial performances, and attempt something more worth while. Secret Service was extremely well cast, and the utmost efforts were put forth by everyone connected with the cast to make the perform- ance a credit to Dramatics. The emotional and highly dramatic elements ot the play were made the most of by the splendid acting of Mary Jones Nixon and Marjorie Abrahams, while Rhoda Allen and Mildred Ellis starred in the comedy parts. Stanley Miller and Mildred Thompson deserve much credit for their clever work as the negro servants. The actors were greatly aided by the scenic effects, which made the play intensely thrilling and realistic to a most enthusiastic audience. © 76 ♦ c % ll Or ' JrS i ti ' ri t I 4 I 77 i - rt m -Hgani titions f } RIPPLER CHAPTER RIPPLER CHAPTER OFFICERS Mary Jones Nixon .

Add to the picture a full moon and a heaven full of stars, and you have before you the setting for the Final Play of Nineteen-Eighteen. The very atmosphere was alive with romance, and the actors being imbued with the spirit of it all, the result was a highly successful produc- tion of Percy MacKaye ' s excellent comedy, A Thousand Years Ago. The play is a romance of the Orient, wherein is recited the adventures of Calaf, Prince of Astrakhan, and Turandot, the beautiful princess of Pekin. Turandot has made her father swear that all royal suitors for her hand must answer three riddles put by her. To the one who answers correctly, she promises herself in marriage; but to those who answer wrong, death is the reward. Many young nobles thereby meet an untimely end, until Calaf, who is desperately in love with the princess, and who is the only man in the world she has ever loved, disguises himself as a beggar, and learns, thru the aid of some Maskers, the answers to all the riddles. After several exciting adventures, he of course, wins the princess, and they live happily ever after. That which gave the desired color and comedy to the play was the appearance of five vagabond Maskers from Italy. Pei ' haps it seemed a bit out of keeping to find the Europeans dancing in the very heart of ,f 4 C Cfc= jpe fll OrgnnivatiJiic rf t I 0=Ci  c China, but they were romantic outcasts, who sought refuge in the distant Orient, an Orient to be considered in no sense as historic or realistic, but as purely fantastic. Perhaps it was the fantasy which lent such distinctive charm to the play — fantasy, together with the magic, adventure, love, and comedy of the plot, all served to lure the audience away from material everyday things into a realm of romance. The cast was as follows : ASIATIC Turandot, Princess of Pekin Hildegarde Planner Altoum, her father. Emperor Mary Jones Nixon Zelima, her slave Marjorie Abraham Calaf, Prince of Ast)-akhan VIRGINIA MiLLER Barak, his servitor Jeannette Monroe Scaramouche Punchinello Pantaloon Harlequin EUROPEAN Vagabond players from Italy Olivia Klingilhoffer Dorothy Pryor Rebecca McGeorgk Capocomico, their leader ERNESTINE Shayler Soldiers; tea hearers; court attendants Stage director LuciLE WARWICK Cfc=i liZ ? i ' rgaiiHtitions If: 3 =il The performance was a most creditable one — not only to the actors, but also to the capable stage director, Lucile Warwick. The setting was ideal, and the costumes were quite gorgeous. Special mention must be accorded to Hildegarde Planner, Ernestine Shayler, and Mary Jones Nixon, who interpreted their roles both intelli- gently and artistically, and who helped to make it seem more real that, Here in China, the world lie a-dream Like a thousand years ago, And the place of our dreams is eternal. c Cfc= fcC ijrgannatianc f C = ' 1 THE MUSICAL COMEDY LUFF, the third musical comedy of Sweet Briar, was given Satur- day, March 1, 1919. Written by Fritzie Virden and Stanley Miller, directed by Florence Freeman and Stanley Miller, it was, from every point of view, a tremendous success. The performance never lagged for a moment. Nor was that much-dreaded amateur element present. In fact, the audience was more than pleased by the originality and charm of the production. Lively popular songs and clever dances played a large part towards making the performance a success. Not only were the dances original, they were full of pep and vim. As for the songs, they made such a marked impression upon the audience that from then on, I ' m Always Chasing Rainbows, Typical Topical Tunes, and Funny Little Somethings have usurped the places of the heretofore unconquered Smiles, N ' Every- thing. The stage setting, too, was attractive to all, and familiar to those wh o burn the midnight oil in the Senior parlor. The individual characters were very well portrayed. Fritzie Virden made an enterprising and charming heroine, and Helen Beeson, as her fiance, delighted everyone by her clever and unaffected acting and her graceful dancing. When she and Russe Blanks danced the Galli Curci rag, the eyes of those in the audience fairly bulged with delight. Flo Freeman would have moved Mr. Gloom himself to laughter, to say nothing of her appreciative Sweet Briar friends. The work of the chorus certainly can- not pass by unmentioned, especially because of the individual attraction each member possessed. The plot of the play was well worked out. It had just enough serious- ness, mingled with all its lively humor, to give it a finished touch. The finished finale, with all the songs cleverly combined, brought to a close one of the most successful and popular entertainments of the year.

The fighting on the battle field has ceased, and the men who filled the trenches are returning to their normal occupations. His work, as far as the war is con- _ - - cerned, is done. But the work of the Red Cross is not over ; it must still carry on. In war time, it did its bit ; in peace, it must take up a new line of work — reconstruction in the war-devastated coun- tries, and home service in America. In France and Belgium, there are many, many people who are relying solely upon the Red Cross. Not only for food are they dependent, but also for shelter and clothing. Home, garden, occupation — everything which the industrious Frenchman or Belgian had in those days before the war — is gone ; and it is the work of the Red Cross to help them regain what they have lost. We, here at Sweet Briar, have fallen short of our aims during the first semester. Adverse circumstances, here and at headquarters, kept us from carrying out the program we had planned. Our quota of sheets is now complete. For their help in this work, we thank the Sweet Briar Guild. f=C I ' rgtiiinarn 3 This ends our part in the war work of the Red Cross. Now we are ready to take up reconstruction. Our part in this work is to furnish clothing for the babies of devastated France and Belgium. The girls are most enthusiastic over our meetings, or sewing bees. These come twice a week — Monday, in the Senior study, and Thursday, at Sweet Briar House — best of all — when Miss Simrall reads or tells us a story, or we just have a nice sociable time with an occasional cup of tea. We have other interesting times planned for the spring. As the work of the Red Cross did not stop with the war, so it must not stop even when the need for it is past in France and Belgium. The other part of its post-war program is Home Service, and we have a won- derful plan to put thru along that direction next year. i?...

' si= |cC :ui)icrif5  Ct=ift ATHLETICS ITH the beginning of the college year 1918-1919, the Sweet Briar Athletic Association adopted the so-called Point System, which ' i ' M A i the past few years has proven so successful in many universities and colleges. This did not necessitate changing the original con- stitution, as it is merely a change in the system of awards. Accord- ing to this system, a definite number of points is given for each athletic activity in a major or minor sport, and awards are given in accordance with the number of points won. Class numerals are given to the winner of two hundred and fifty points, an S. B. monogram for five hundred points, and a sleeve stripe for each additional one hundred. To the winner of one thousand points, a white Spaulding sweater, bearing the S. B. monogram, will be given. This puts awards within the reach of everyone who goes out for Athletics, and does not, as formerly, confine them to the small number who play on teams in one season. It does not make the awards easier to obtain, for it requires a longer time to amass a sufficient number of points, and necessitates participating in a greater number of activities. Playing on a team is only one step in the winning of an award. To broaden the field of athletics, and give everyone a chance, Hiking has been instituted as an organized sport, and has been enthusiastically under- taken by practically every member of the Association. Altho Sweet Briar has always stood, and still stands, for Sport for Sport ' s sake, it welcomes this new system as a means of recognizing the efforts of everyone who works faithfully in the interest of Athletics. It has proven a great incentive to all to come out and do their best in every sport. m ' y ? 38: i F zzii ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION OFFICERS Florence Freeman President Nancy Hanna Vice-President Ida Massie Secretary Geraldine Ball Treasurer EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Ellen Wolf Head of Basket-Bail Ethel Wilson Head of Hockey Stella Gwynn Head of Tennis Ruth Hulburd Head of Hiking Rosanne Gilmore Head of Lake Day PHYSICAL DIRECTORS Miss Josephine Guion Miss L.

MAY DAY, 1918 ONG ago all the superlatives in the dictionary were used up in describing May Day at Sweet Briar, yet each May Day continues to be more lovely than the last ! What can a poor mortal do, who has at her disposal only the limited descriptive words of the dictionary? Ah, well ! May third, nineteen-eighteen, was a typical May Day day. The sun was shining, the flowers were blooming, and hearts were as light as hearts could be when they were darkened by the shadow of the great World War. Our May queen, lovely Catharine Marshall, looked every inch a queen as she followed her graceful, organdie-clad court into the box- wood circle and up to her throne. Simplicity was the keynote of the costume of the Court and its followers that year — simplicity coupled with exquisite daintiness and beauty. You who have seen Sweet Briar on a May Day know well the order of the events. If you shut your eyes, you can hear the strains of with roses, red roses ; and you can see the subjects of the Queen ' o May forming an aisle, down the center of which she passes, preceded by her Court. Next you see her being presented with her crown, her garland, and her scepter, by the three loveliest maidens of her Court. The Queen then speaks a few words of welcome and appreciation, after which she is entertained by the dancing of her subjects. And then — But then there was an innovation in the order of events, in the year nineteen-eighteen, for there came before the queen a poet, who beseeched of her and her following to go with him to view a pageant of dance in the Dell. The queen and her Court followed him, as he led them to a special platform which had been erected for them, and her humbler sub- jects arranged themselves on the slope of the hill. Mc Cfc ■f - C =J o The pageant L ' Allegro began. They say that Hildegarde Manner was Mirth ; that Liberty, Melancholy, Jest, Jollity, and all the other dancing figures who wove the story were mortals, too ; yet verily to this day do I believe they came straight from Fairyland. Enthralled, enchanted, the audience watched until the last dancer was gone from sight. Was it real? Could it be real? These were the questions one asked.

And doesn ' t it seem as tho you had lost your very last friend? And wouldn ' t you, honestly, woukhi ' t you give just about everythmg you possess for a pair of fairy wings to carry you back to Sweet Briar again? Perhaps you won ' t admit that; but know yon would! Tonight I am in a reminiscent mood — a sure sign of old age! It ' s not much fun to be a back number, a has-been, is it? Of course, we girls of Nineteen-Eighteen still have the distinction of being the latest grads, but very soon even that honor is to be snatched from us. Think of it, Girls, Nineteen-Nineteen is the Senior Class this year; and it is only a matter of a few weeks before Nineteen- Nineteen will be having its Commencement Week, and getting its diplomas. How time does fly! Don ' t you just re-live our Commencement Week over and over again? I do! I think it was the gladdest, saddest week I ever lived thru. Do you remember the party at the Walkers ' , at the beginning of that last week? They certainly did give us a good time — such a good time that none of us are apt to forget it very soon. And do you remember how we all chose to walk back to college the long way, that night, just to prolong the party? I believe that was the first night that we fully realized that we were not going to be together much longer. The following day our friends and families began to arrive. Wasn ' t it fun intro- ducing them to all the Sweet Briarites, and showing them all about? Sweet Briar was particularly lovely that week, for their sake and ours! Of course, none of us have forgotten a single thing that happened that week; but it seems rather good just to talk it all over! Remember that jim-dandy party of Mary Reed ' s? Commencement Week might almost be described as just one party after another, might it not? And weren ' t you glad. Girls, that they decided to give the pageant, L ' AUegro, over again, on June 1? That was one of the loveliest things that was ever put on at Sweet Briar, and I am so glad that our families had an opportunity to see it. On Saturday night, after the concert, we had our garden party, and every one of us enjoyed it as much as our guests did, in spite of the fact that we complained of nearly having our arms pumped off with all the handshaking we had to do! I felt as tho I were in Fairyland that night, for the lanterns that the Sophomores had so artistically hung in the Rose Garden seemed to lend the spot a mystic atmosphere! The next day was Sunday — out- Baccalaureate Sunday — our last Sunday as Seniors at Sweet Briar! Because we realized that fact, we listened to Dr. Powell ' s sermon with both ears, and we found it well worth listening to! And that night I am sure that he found our step singing worth listening to, too! Wasn ' t it great to sing our old songs before such an appreciative audience as our families made? And wasn ' t it great to listen to the other classes sing — with the exception of the Freshies, who stole our good old tune, and thought they could get away with it! They thoucjlit so — that is all. Later, that night — remember? — we all went down to the Boxwood Circle for Com- munity Singing. Didn ' t we just make that place ring with Over There, tho? It seems almost too wonderful to be true that the thing we were all hoping and praying for that night — that the war might end soon, and our boys over there might come home victorious — has really come to pass since then ! In spite of our happiness during Commencement Week, each one of us felt the dark presence of War. That presence 1 } f will not sadden the (Jommencement Week of Nineteen-Nineteen, thank God, to whom our thanks are due! But to go back to our Commencement Week — Wasn ' t it nice to have the Lake Day exercises on Monday morning? It gave the folks a chance to see what regular athletes our Sweet Briar girls are! And wasn ' t Monday the fullest day ever? That noon, the faculty gave us and our guests a luncheon at Sweet Briar House; and later on in the day we had our Class Day exej ' cises, down in the Rose Garden. The Fi-esh- men made us the lorelk ' st daisy chain, which the Sophomores carried; and we all sang songs and did our stunts and enjoyed ourselves thoroly. Our stunt was to give a brief resume of our four years at Sweet Briar. Remember? And I particularly liked the song that the Sophomores sang, with a verse for each one of us Seniors, didn ' t you? And wasn ' t it fun seeing what each girl dropped into the grave under our old tree? Fun — yes — but rather chokey fun. It was all right for us to sing Send Us Away with a Smile, Dear Old Pals ; but didn ' t feel much like smiling right then, did you? And when our Will was read, I really felt as tho I were at my own funeral. Fact! That night — our last at Sweet Briai- — the final play was given, in an entirely new out-of-doors theater. The play, A Thousand Years Ago, was a difficult one to put on, but old C. de B. did herself proud with it, and it was one of the most artistically produced plays that has ever been given at Sweet Briar. After the play, we had an ice-cream cone party out in the garden, and it was very late that night before any of us got to sleep, for the whole college serenaded itself and everyone else, ' way into the wee sma ' hours of the morning! June fourth was a true Sweet Briar day — warm, sunny, beautiful! Long before ten-thirty every one of the Seniors was di-essed in her cap and gown. It was a queer sensation to realize that for the last time we were putting our caps on with the tassels on the left side, wasn ' t it? I think each one of us felt that it was the biggest moment in her life when she stepped into her place and the Academic Procession began to file slowly into the Chapel. The end had come finally — the end of four years of work and play and companionship. In a few moments we were to receive our diplomas, and our College days would be behind us. Did any of you hear Dr. Powell ' s address? Did you? Really? Does anyone ever hear a Commencement Address, I wonder? Weren ' t we listening, rather, to the little voices within us that were whisper- ing, The end! The end! Very soon we ' ll be saying ' good-bye. ' I wonder what the years will bring to us. I wonder whether we ' ll be able to live up to the high ambitions we ' ve formed here. I wonder if we ' ll ever be able to give old Sweet Briar back one-millionth of what she has given us ? Pretty soon the address was finished — I ' ve heard it was very good — and then we were going up onto the platform one by one, and Miss McVea was handing us something. Our diplomas? Surely! Still somewhat dazed, we bent our heads while Miss Given slipped our hoods over them, and then we stumbled down from the platform, changing our tassels — those of us who remembered to do so — over to the right side. It was over, all over! Ninetecn-Eighteen, eighteen strong, had graduated from Sweet Briar College. Dear Marianne couldn ' t be with us that day, in person; but she was with us in spirit at least, and she received her diploma with us. When we have our first Reunion, this Spring, we are going to try to be there — every one of us; aren ' t we, GirLs? For Nineteen-Eighteen loves Sweet Briar, loves every nook and corner of it! Until then, Gii-ls, good bye! And good luck to you, every one! Your Classmate — G. E.

At half-past ten, there was wild confusion in and about first floor Randolf, where the students assembled to take their places in the procession. The importance of the bright day was that the students could all array themselves in white ; which they did. When the guests were ushered into their seats in chapel by immac- ulately clad Sophomores, decorated with a badge of rose and green ribbon, the familiar strains of Ancient of Days issued forth from chapel, and the student-body marched in, marshaled by Rhoda Allen. After the Glee Club, Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen had filed in by twos, the Seniors, wearing their caps and gowns for the first time, were marshaled in by Fannie Elsworth. They held themselves erect, and wore countenances duly solemn. There were ooohs and aaahs heard from the envious onlookers. The Seniors were followed by the Faculty, in their awe-inspiring caps and gowns with their many-colored hoods. After they had taken their places on the platform, the music ceased, and the regular ceremony of the day began. Mr. Manson told simply, and with interest, the story of the founding of Sweet Briar College, especially for the benefit of the guests and new girls. Miss McVea made a few announcements of interest to the college, and introduced Mr. Chandler, of Cincinnati University, who made an address on Sentimentality and Effi- ciency. He introduced the two phrases, tender-minded and tough- minded, which have been aptly used by several of the faculty since. After singing Sweet Briar, Sweet Briar, the students marched out to go to their respective duties, while Miss McVea gave a lunch at Sweet Briar House to the guests, the faculty, and Seniors. c ui I ' lC 39 Pi ' ■ ; Cfc y 5 iV- caSl- ]fr Cf=ie FOUNDERS DAY DANCE y 4 C Cfc i i L : ?4IC i = f uaruincs J i K -5 — t- — ' V GLEE CLUB Miss Young : Director Miss Brandt Accompanist FIRST SOPRANOS Miss Aycock Miss Bruner Miss Crawford Miss Hicks Miss Kelly Miss Klumph Miss Moon Miss Rendleman Miss Rouse Miss Schnorback Miss Shephard Miss Shidler Miss Nelson Miss Zabriskie SECOND SOPRANOS Miss Anderson Miss Colles Miss Durrell Miss Evans Miss Box Miss Haskins Miss Hodgson Miss Plummer ALTOS Miss Jordan Miss Marston Miss Newby Miss Shurtleff Miss Turner Miss Walkup Miss Way Miss Spengel i E ■|iC 3 1 i - 1 an cnuinci ]fr (Tti O ' V CHOIR Miss Crawford Leader Rhoda Allen Lydia Burge Margarette Carper Katherine Cook Gertrude Dally Dorothy Dangerfield BuRD Dickson Alice Earley Mildred Ellis PiNKNEY GOFFIGON Frances Helwick Florence Ives Georgia Hicks LuciLE Johnson Peggy Keefer Margaret Zabriskie Frances Jordan IMary Belle McNally Margaret Marston Ida Massie Faith Mengel Elizabeth Newsom Adelaide Rendleman Shelley Rouse E ' ELYN PLUMMER Elizab eth Shoop Amey Smyth Margaret Spengel Isabelle Strother Mary Taylor Edith Way 4tC lift: Ct=rl LECTURES AND CONCERTS AT SWEET BRIAR S with all other activities, the lectures and concerts were inter- fered with because of the influenza epidemic. It was with greatest enthusiasm that we greeted John Ken- drick Bangs, who lectured on Salubrities I Have Known. As well as being extremely witty and cheering to a flu-trodden community, the lecture was interesting and inspiring. On December sixth, Marvin Maazel, a young Russian pianist, gave a concert that was remarkable. It is seldom that we are able to hear one which equals this. Congressman Chandler spoke to us on War and Its Aftermath. His lecture dealt with reconstruction problems, and was instructive as well as interesting. Madame Gertrude Auld gave a concert which particularly appealed to the girls. Her voice was lovely, and her selection of songs was delightful. Literary Men I Have Known, given by Hamlin Garland, was a treat, especially for those interested in modern literature. The personal acquaint- ance which Mr. Garland has had with literary men of today made his talk unusually pleasing. Miss Lou Belle Colesky Jones read three of Lord Dunsaney ' s plays. Altho under the supervision of Current Events, Miss Jones deserves to be classed among our lecturers. Her readings were well done and charming. Perhaps the most delightful concert we have had was by Madame Reuger, a Belgian who gave a combination concert and lecture. She played the violin exquisitely, and her tales of Belgium during the war were among the best that we have had an opportunity to hear.

I pictured myself framing ' pliable words into a living tableau, wherein there would be the I motion of fighting masses of men, the screaming of shrapnel, the ; i| bursting of bombs, and finally, a glorious, jubilant Victory, at- tended by joyful song and resounding cheers. Such would be my poem of Victory. I cannot write that poem. They were gathered in a room to be entertained. Have you ever seen a roomful of wounded boys waiting to be entertained? God! It is a sight you would not soon forget. They are cheerful, for the most part, for Uncle Sam ' s nephews are not made of the stuff that complains ; but all the entertaining in the world will not take the look from their eyes that one is accustomed to see only in the eyes of old men who have lived long and suffered much. These men are mere lads, but they have seen the things I have only read about, and reading, have been unable, fully, to comprehend. Have you ever eaten toothpaste? Gee, it ' s fine — when you haven ' t eaten anything for four days, and you ' ve been fighting all that time. I saw him kill my brother — that dirty German brute! — not twenty feet away. He blew his brains out. My Croix de Guerre? No, Ma ' am. I wasn ' t saving lives that day, a-taking them ; that was what I was doing. A-taking them ! And be not more than twenty, at the most ! He wouldn ' t tell us more — but he had seen his brother killed. It wasn ' t so bad when there was water. Men killed their pals for water — gone crazy, you know. And the streams, they was poisoned, mostly. We could drink the mud in the road, but that sometimes was gassed. I cannot write a poem on Victory. I can only thank the Lord and those fine boys for ending the war and slavery. S. E.

E «; fcC 28 152 HENRY April 22 ' ' IHE constellations which I we see at the time of I Henry ' s birth are ruled over by Venus, who gives • ' ' to her subjects a gentle ;_ -  -- -jl and playful disposition. The stars show that Henry ' s mind is apt to be much clearer in the morning than in the evening, so daylight-saving must be a great help to her. At all events, we ad- vise her to take for her motto, Early to bed and early to rise. At first glance, we thought the stars pointed to a happy marriage and a quiet life of domesticity. But alas, no — the footlights prove too tempting, and in the futui ' e we may see our Henrietta the lead- ing lady of the Follies of Nineteen- Thirty. 4 ;= 1 K. D. January 29 ' HEN we consult the heav- en ' s for K. D. ' s destiny, we see that Venus rules; and as he gives to his subjects beautiful, hypnotic eyes, we see the reason for K. D. ' s orbs. We dis- cover that K. D. has a wonderful business ability, so we should ex- pect to see her one day in the role of the Big Boss on Wall Street. But fickle fortune does not agree to this. Sad to say, K. D. ' s finan- cial genius is doomed to be wasted, for her main constellation points unmistakably to A Man — while round about are scattered clusters of small satellites, which we pre- sume are chips of the old block. =0= $ c Cfc=J.? JxM I ■c 3 ■; f ' g:«ig HE planet Neptune rules the heavens on Eggy ' s birthday; so perhaps it is from the god of the sea that she gets her constant desire for mo- tion. As we gaze at those stars which control her future, we dis- cover that only after many waver- ings will her fate be permanently decided. At first, she will be a bear-tamer in Alaska; but success ill this line seems to be cut off by the inopportune melting of her favorite igloo; next she will teach the aborigines of South Africa im- proved styles of architecture. Finally, however, we expect to see her on the concert stage, singing arias from her latest opera, Oh Wandering Moonbeam. 4 I o= ' . I 1 0= ' life. PON surveying the heav- ens at the time of Nell ' s birth, we find them ruled by the moon. This fact causes dreams to play an important part in her The extensive pursuit of literature in which she indulges at Sweet Briar should be of great use to her in later life, if the stars speak truly. We regret to say that the stars foretell that she will be greatly tempted by the lures of Monte Carlo, but we see that, for the sake of her reputation, she will forego these temptations — for it would never do for the gambling fever to overtake a traveling secre- tary of the United Confederation of the W. C. T. U. and S. P. C. A. | C 3S m. s=4. FLO February 6 HE stars predominating at the time of Flo ' s birth are a little hard to inter- pret, for they seem to move about in harmonic motion. However, when we get the telescope moving with the same syncopation as the stars, we are able to discover several in- teresting facts. There is every evidence of a promising future in store for Flo, if she will only devote the pep she acquired back in high school to the practical good of humanity. We are greatly en- couraged, upon further consulting the stars, to see that, after pon- dering over various kinds of social service, she will at last find a true outlet for her abilities when she starts in officially to teach wound- ed soldiers to use their eyes. tJ P tCZIZ rciturrs 33: ROSANNE JhUj 28 ' HEN RoSANNE was born, the sun ruled the heav- ens. This accounts for her brilliance and her cheerful disposition. The sun also imparts strength to his subjects. This explains Rosie ' s immense popularity at all fudge-parties on Third Floor Gray. When we look at the stars govern- ing the early part of Rosanne ' s life, we see that she will at first be a nurse. But after a few years of her expert care, the world will become so free from disease that Rosie ' s talents cannot do them- selves justice, so later on we shall find her making her fortune by putting on the market the Gilmore Brand Elbow Grease. 3= 157 j fcC 3 HAMMOND October 8 ENUS is the planet which rules the heavens at the I time of Louise ' s birth, as we see by consulting the telescope. The arrange- ment of the stars at this time of the year, however, gives her a very balanced mind, which offsets any capriciousness she may have received from the goddess of love. Altho she may seem to us now a gay butterfly, the stars fore- tell that she will leave behind the social whirl with her college days, and settle down to more serious pursuits. We shall eventually find her making use of her woman ' s intuition in deciding on the fitness of applicants for entrance to the Beverly Home for Incompatible Derelicts, somewhere in Virginia. y itC fiMtiirrs 3fr ELIZABETH Atiyust 28 T the time of Elizabeth ' s birth, the telescope shows us each star in a well- defined place, in which it obligingly stays. This gives her that love of order which is so manifest in her, especially on Saturday mornings. Some years from now, when stroll- ing up a quiet and dignified avenue of a small town in the Middle West, we may pass a neat office- building, on whose window appears, in gilt letters: Matrimonial Bureau Fitting of soul-mates a specialty (No applicants accepted over thirty-five years of age) E. Hodge, Proprietor Ct=i? 159 o=.. - ' • ? aiujiTs 2fr 3t=it« HE telescope, when con- sulted at the time of Luke ' s birth, shows us some surprising facts. - ! ■ j Little do we guess, when l,j « ' I confronted by her gay and cheery manner, the depths of poetic melancholy in which, the stars tell us, her inner nature is steeped. The planets which rule over her life give her the ability to conceal for quite a time, under a mask of gaiety, the mysterious solemnity of her innermost being. But, murder will out, and all will be known when LuKE fulfills her destiny; for she will find her true niche in life when she is made Grand High Priestess of the Noble Order of Melodic Muses. 160 rr,niirr 3ff 0= lJS ENUS rules over the heav- ens on Dorothy ' s birth- day. This explains to our satisfaction the soli- taire, and t he huge heaps of foreign mail. We have been led to think, perhaps, that after leaving College Doro- thy will settle down and lead the simple life. But the stars, alas, do not point to such a fate. We see, after prolonged gazing thru the telescope, that she will at first be attracted by the glare of the Great White Way. Then, after wearying of the gay life, she will devote her talents to holding down a steady job; and at last we shall see her as head clerk in the shoe- supplying department of the . rmy of the Unemployed. 161 |tC i JltlUUl ' j z J izii ' T % ' MARY JONES November 2 HE telescope, consulted at the time of Mary Jones ' s birth, betrays facts which she doubtless believes hidden from everyone. We admit she had us fooled, for we thought she was literary and artistic. But her real ambition, the stars tell us, is to be heavyweight champion of the world. She will go quite a way toward fulfilling this ambition, but we see that her hopes are to be blighted by a secret love affair. Now a cloud appears over her fu- ture — as it lifts, it shows us a white screen, and on the screen a shadow, which gradually deepens into a close-up of a face register- ing deep regret, tinged faintly with lofty scorn. Underneath is the legend: The most popular movie heroine. ' Tis our Jonesy. 162 ♦ c PC FrtUurrs 0=€ g JO October 7 HE stars seem lathei- un- settled when we examine them a t the time of Jo ' s birth. We see that in her early youth the stars de- note the life of a gay butterfly. But there is evidence that some occult influence will gradually withdraw her attention from the vain and superficial in- terests held out by society. Next we see her in a different role — a severly tailored young woman upon the stage at Sweet Briar, giv- ing a Founder ' s Day address on The Folly of Enjoying Life. But there is hope. Even with such a misguided career in view, the stars finally point, after their waverings, to a Little Gray Home in the West. Cfc= ♦ dl F Ccitiirio 38 164 ' t. AJ ' 1 £ •■ ) 1 T the time of Carrie ' s birth, the Mil ky Way predominates, while each star remains peacefully in its place. This should aid us to read what fate the stars hold for Carrie; but un- foieseen complications arise. Her destiny at first seems to take the form of a career on the operatic stage. But all her hopes of fame in this direction will be blighted, for a man seems to be present in the background. Following this period, there seems to be one of domestic bliss, marred only by home economics. Her constella- tions indicate that the main diffi- culty lies in the fact that the neighbors object to having their gardens devoured by Carrie ' s cow; so we shall finally see her estab- lished in a pale lavender cottage in the depths of the Black Forest. feature B Z =2f COTTON March 3 PON looking thru the telescope at the time of Cotton ' s birth, we re- ceive a sad shock. We thought she would one day enter the realm of Science; but we were far, far off. We see evidence, in the sky, of a love of luxury and ease to which, sad to say, she will in due time succumb. The stars tell us that she has a gentle disposition, but should be ruled by a firm, yet lov- ing hand. Following the example of other misguided maidens, our Mildred will at first be attracted by the lure of the movies, but this attraction, we are relieved to no- tice, is shortlived. If the stars read truly, we shall see Cotton, in a few years, established in an up-to-date studio in New York, the latest disciple of the Cubist School of Art in its highest forms. iei= P o= .xJ2. i 3 TOWNEY December 14 HEN we consult the stars for Towney ' s horoscope, we see that her life will be ruled over by conflict- ing influences. One con- stellation signifies that Catharine will have a quieting, soothing effect on her surround- ings. This group of stars tells us that in years to come Towney may be found guarding the en- trance of the Carnegie library of a certain town in Nebraska. An- other constellation, however, con- tradicts this fate. It seems that she will no more than get started on her career as guardian angel of the library, when she will catch the prevailing rage for the movies, and future generations of Sweet Briar girls may see her at any time, inside a glass window, selling tickets at the Isis. t 0= ! m: fr.niirra  CJ=i l E are rather surprised at the prospects offered by the stars at the time of Dotty ' s birth. We had always considered her rather a gentle little thing; so it was rather a shock to discover that she is numbered among the subjects of Mars. And the stars controlling her fate give evidences of the warlike tendencies which are in keeping with her rul- ing planet. We see that she will not be able to conceal her real nature from us much longer. Some of these days her true self will be revealed, and we shall see her breeze forth in the uniform of a traffic policeman, at the corner of Broadway and Thirty-Second Street.

The chief line of iiiiurest which life holds for her appears to be the mail line; and it seems that this will be succeeded, after she leaves college, by some- thing in the male line. But, as we gaze, a shooting star flashes across the heavens! It alters con- siderably the arrangement of the myriads of stars. Now all is changed. No more is her path calm and untroubled. Those who wish to see Skeet, a few years from now, must inquire at Barnum and Bailey ' s Circus, for their champion bareback rider.

We thought, after a superficial glance thru the telescope, that Lit- tle Wood was going to turn seri- ous-minded. It seemed for a time that she was scheduled to deliver a series of lectures on the Why of Wherefore. But, upon examining them more closely, we see that the stars decree otherwise. Some day we will be able to see our dear Isabel, the revered and honored head-waitress of the Virginian. Such is the result of a kindly dis- position. . « c T=a: rr,iritri 3 LAWS OF VARSITY COUNCIL IHEREAS we, the Seniors, Juniors, and Sophomores of Sweet Briar j College, represented by the Varsity Council, desire that at all times the Freshmen of Sweet Briar College pay proper respect to upper classmen (Seniors and Juniors), we therefore demand that the aforesaid Freshmen comply with the following laws : Resolved that : Latv I.

If found guilty, penalties shall be inflicted by the Varsity Council. Resolution II. This Constitution is subject to revision and amend- ments. ' iv- i ' rr,iriins }fr J=2f. VARSITY COUNCIL ERHAPS least said is soonest mended, but it wouldn ' t be a proper Annual if an account of that famous night in November were left out. To the Freshmen who are culprits to an extreme degree, it was a night of terror, when they had to be tried at court before a stern and severe judge, Mr. Manson. With quaking knees and faltering voices they took their places in the trial, trusting in their lawyers, but rather doubtful as to the integrity of some of the witnesses. The masked jury whose duty it was to impose sentences of great severity upon these lawbreakers proved a most fear-inspiring body. The prosecuting attorney was well worthy of the name. Perhaps never in the law courts of Virginia has such an orator held sway. In cross-examining the witnesses for the defense, a great deal of clever thinking and thoughtful reasoning was exhibited. Be the victim insane, or be she meek, the lawyer proved herself capable of handling the situation. We cannot, however, pass over the lawyers for the defense. They showed themselves particularly ingenious in the selection of witnesses who were members of the faculty, whose word is supposed to be final. At intervals, the trial seemed tedious to the criminals held in the ante-room by the strict baliffs, but it was necessary to prove to these people that misdemeanors such as they had committed could not be coun- tenanced in a law-abiding community. Therefore, they were forced to endure hardships, and to suffer punishments worthy of their faults. We of Sweet Briar who witnessed the infringement of the law and the execu- tion of the punishment realize that all was for the best. 171 Cfc ' « i J ' fjf 1 9C 3 t .fraturcr- C THEY LIE IN FRANCE WHERE LILLIES BLOOM They lie in France Where lillies bloom ; Those flowei ' s pale That guard each tomb Are saintly souls, That smiling stand Close by them in That martyred land ; And mutely there the long night shadows creep From quiet hills to mourn for them who sleep, While o ' er them, thru the dusk, go silently The grieving clouds that slowly drift to sea, And lately round them moaned the Winter wind. Whose voice, lamenting, sounds so coldly kind. Yet in their faith those waiting hearts abide The time when turns forever that false tide. In France they lie. Where lillies bloom. Those flowers fair For them made room. Not vainly placed The crosses stand Within that brave And stricken land ; Their honor lives. Their love endures, Their noble death The right assures. For they shall have their heart ' s desire ; They who, unflinching, braved the fire. Across the fields their eyes at last shall see, Thru clouds and mist, the hosts of victory. Percival Allen In The New York Timef. %■« ;aturrs 31 =5 = ANTOINETTE MALET LANDED in New York the twenty-fifth of Sep- tember, 1918, with sixty- two other French girls, in order to enter some Amer- ican college. The recep- tion given in New York left noth- ing to be desired. It was simply marvelous. The day after my arrival in New York, I parted from my com- panions, and left for Sweet Briar. Even before arriving at the Col- lege, I saw that Virginia was a de- lightful country, with its hills, its trees, its blue mountains, and its mild climate. My arrival provoked great ex- citement among the students. Everyone wished to see me, and talk to me. The girls were charm- ing to me, and thanks to them I am very comfortably settled. What struck me most here at first — me, a young French girl, for whom fresh air and space had been measured out in the schools of France — was the equipment of the institution. The College is ex- tremely comfortable, and the im- mense campus arouses my admira- tion. In France, we have no idea of so rich and vast establishments. Hei ' e students may live a full intel- lectual and physical life. But what astonished me mo.st, perhaps, is the organization of Student Government Association. The students form a small republic, which has set up wise laws, and everyone makes it a matter of honor to accept and respect them. The American girl soon acquires a sense of responsibility. She has astonished me by her initiative, her collective activity, her physical activity, her gaiety, and her social ease. I believe a French girl has much to learn from contact with her. — A.

MARTINDALE 175 o=@ !■« I friunrr? 3 TO THE SPIRIT OF ROMANCE UDYARD KIPLING tells us, in his ode to The True Spirit of Romance - Who holds by thee, Hath heaven in fee. We see that Romance touches the earth with heaven, lifts us above the cares of everyday life, and brings us in touch with the ideal. Folks differ in their ideas as to just what makes life worth living, but let us believe for a moment that it is the spirit of romance which lies hidden in some corner of every heart. Some people go thru life never dreaming of its existence; others would vigorously disclaim any intimation of its presence. But it is there, just the same. Young and old, rich and poor, we are always looking forward to the Day When Dreams Come True, the day which will be the culmination of all our hopes and dreams, which will bring to our lives a greater, fuller joy. The little freckle-faced boy dreams of adventure; he peeps steadily into dark places, hoping to catch a thief; or explores hidden caves, seeking to find a pirate ' s treasure. The maiden dreams of a lover, a hero bold, who will some day come to claim her heart and hand. Even the idle tramp is always a-lookin ' fer somethin ' to turn up. The young soldier dreams of the glory of war; and the staid business man thinks of his work as a great game in which he must play to win or lose. The dreams of youth are of the future; of age, of the romance of the past. As children, we live part of the time in the real world, and part of the time in the dream world, when the boundary line between the two is vague and indistinct; but as we grow old we see the barrier rising which shut out the real world from the dream world, and we come to realize that the dream world is in our hearts. In this dream world of the heart, our dearest wishes come true; sorrow, disappointment, and hardship never enter; and everything is just as it should be. But if we look about us with observing eyes, if we are filled with the pure joy of living, we will see the beauty and the romance in the real world which surrounds us — the Romance of Things as They Are — in the promise of the new day, the glory of the setting sun, the mist that hangs over the mountain, the hazy bronze blue shadows at the edge of the forest, the faces that pass in the crowd, th ships that, sail silently over the sea. There is the romance of life and love, and the romance of death, the entering into a new adventure in another world. The night was black, hut it held a star; Life dreary, but I caught a gleam from afar; For my soul was filled with the beanty, the joy And the Romance of Things as They Are. — Mary Jones Nixon «► iiCin B f4tC rcarurcEr : C£ = ' WAR HE scintillating sunshine sang to me, The birds chirped in their nests right merrily, Twee — twee, twee — twee! The waves splashed on the shores — 0, memory ! — And whispers, whispers, passed unceasingly, From tree to tree. The boom of thunder burst from clouds o ' erhead ; As lightning flashed derision, sunshine fled. And hearts were led. For days, for months, for years the world was red. And every wind that moaned and whistled, said, The dead ! The dead ! The breathless calm, a waiting calm, came next. Yet soothing to a world so sorely vexed. Worn, and perplexed. Flowers dared to bloom. Smiles, came — or their pretext — For man will give his all when Right directs. Since Love protects. — G. E. SOLLITT, ' 18 178 4 C 2 C = ' t  ■- i ' ki :i: ...

The Editor 4- + + Dear Editor: When my crushes send me candy, they always all send it on the same day.

How can I tactfully suggest to them that they change their day of sending it. Please answer soon, for it is nearly time for another deluge. Popular Dear Popular: You should not allow your crushes to send you so much candy. It would be better to quietly ask them not to send any more than to suggest they change their days. If too much candy accumulates, give it to the poor. Do not allow your popularity to turn your head. The Editor ? 191 I-C rattircB 3lt = jt=,i Dear Editor: I am a puzzled opera singer, writing to you for your excellent advice. I have appeared at your renowned institution on several occasions, and have been much concerned over the reception of some of my songs. At the critical point of Where, Oh Where, Is Johnny Gone? which is usually received with tragic emotion, my fair young audience was almost overcome with giggles, not able to be suppressed. My second attempt with My Faithful Johnny was meant to remedy the fault, but only seemed to make it worse. Tell me, what shall I do ? I am desperate ! Kalli Kurci Deal- Kalli Kurci: Do not be disturbed by the reception of your songs at this institution. The inmates are handicapped by a great difficulty in expressing them- selves, owing to the limitations of their vocabularies ; and they were only showing their appreciation as best they could. Do not let them know of your predicament, as it might hurt their feelings. The Editor Dear Editor: I am a hopelessly feminine Freshman, and entirely bewildered by the masculine style of dress that the girls are adopting. What shall I do to become more masculine? Which men ' s furnishings store in Amherst is the best? The price makes no difference, as my father gives me a super- fluous allowance. What size collar should a nineteen-year-old girl, wearing 6 ' 4. shoes, buy? Could you tell me where M y La B x buys her superior suits? Also about my hair. Do you think M y A n would show me how to make my hair lie down? It is not becoming to me, but that doesn ' t seem to matter. Do you think that, by taking this step, I could become socially something? Augusta Wind Dear Augusta Wind: You are too young to worry about your social standing, but it i. natural that you should wish to avoid being conspicuously different from your schoolmates. I am sure your little friends will help you if you go to them frankly about the matter, and explain the situation. As to the stores in Amherst, we would recommend, after careful consideration, that you do your shopping at the City Emporium. I should judge that you should wear a collar between the sizes of 10 and 25. The Editor 192 -1 i C ] 0= Dear Editor: How can I make people think that I get much mail?

How do they work it? Style N. Everything Dear Style: Try having your name posted on the express list instead of on the special list.

Evening is ushered in with piercing shrieks and mysterious whistles ; tall white figures flit about the dark campus, giving a ghostlike effect to the whole picture. Then the Sophs find that a member is missing, and great is the fuss thereof! Frantic search fails to reveal the lost Soph ! But hush ! the missing member is doing her best ; yet what can a poor Soph do when surrounded by seventy-seven Freshies? She can kick and bite and squirm and shriek; and she does! When all else fails, she can faint ; and she does ! She can make seventy-seven scared Freshies carry her tip a hill to a college ; and she does ! 208  Ct=i Horrified, the Faculty meet. They act, and firm is their command : No hazing in any form. Sophomores stumped? No! They consult upper-classmen. Result: Varsity Council resolves, Freshies must know their place. We will have rulings; and no sooner said than done. Rulings and by-laws appear in due form on the bulletin boards. Consternation in Freshie Camp. First Aid to the Injured Every Freshie has to wear Little apron, white and fair. The we have just lots of spirit. We don ' t mind at all to wear it. Wait, and see how nice we look; You ' ll get one by hook or crook. We may kick at rules of mail lines, shoeshines, But no Freshie whines — Just because she has to wear. Little apron, irliite and fair! Scene III Tlie Criminal Pleads Sophomores play policemen. Freshmen are the victims. On a cold morning in mid-November, every trespassing Freshie receives a summons. To Miss Criminal: You are commanded, in the name of the Varsity Council, to appear in open Court, etc. Frightened Freshies fight for trump lawyers to prove that they didn ' t do what they did do. A wise and long-suffering judge comes to Sweet Briar bench. A dreary session follows. One sweet and blooming lady — hitherto known as the president of the Freshman Class — is proven to be after all only a sweet potato; while another popular young woman is cited as a dangerous lunatic, and given hard labor with ( the old ) a broom. Another hardened criminal is sentenced to guard the flagpole, to prevent the Founder ' s Day guests from running away with it. The Campus green is converted into a whale fishing for Founder ' s Day afternoon, and convicts dangle their bait for ' most anything. Judge and upper-classmen exhaust their original penalties, and Court adjourns, and the Soph quotes: We don ' t haze; We won ' t fight; We arbitrate. 209 0=«: y tC i 1 ' fr= 210 4 C Cfc= a PC J cam res  0=1 f Sunday, October 13.

If I ' d only known sooner about JelI-0 and some of the other money savers, I ' m sure I ' d have more dollars now and fewer wrinkles. (Note— Just see the wrinkles.) There are a good many young women and older ones too who are wasting money and time making desserts and salads of materials that cost more, require more time and effort than Jell-0 does, and then are not half so good. Jell-0 is made in six pure fruit flavors: Strawberry, Rasp- berry, Lemon, Orange, Cherry, Chocolate, and sold by all gro- cers at two packages for 25 cents. THE GENESEE PURE FOCD COMPANY. Le Tcy, N.
