In our particular httle Patch we have tried to gather the blossoms and berries that would bring most delight. If our cunning equals not that of Brer Rabbit, who, like us, be- longed to a Briar Patch, we pray you to consider through how many fields we went chas- ing, how many stones we stumbled over, how many scratches we received — and made. You who follow our trail and are not wholly pleased, award us not the fate that befell Brer Wolf or Brer Fox. |ftt ! - ' ' ' ' ' W -• ♦ ♦ % « % t META GLASS Our Honored President We dedicate this annual to ex- press our appreciation of what she has already done for us, and our faith in her ideals; and we promise her our loyal coopera- tion in her plans for Sweet Briar ' s growth and development. !(■ ' - ' :P 1 .3 THE CLASSES Senior Sophomore Junior Freshman ORGANIZATIONS Student Government Association Sweet Briar Christian Association Dramatic Association Student Drive S Tau Phi International Relations Le Cercle Francais , Glee Club History Club Biology Club Classical Club The Brambier ; Tlie Briar Patch ti ATHLETICS FEATURES May Day Patchwork i ..♦ i = RMR mxc :li Board of Directors Rev.

Social Science If you watch her smile once you will know more than we could ever tell — why poets are led to write sonnets, and why knights go to battle upon the inspiration of a fair lady. HELEN ADAMS SWARTHMORE, PA. Enfflisli Quiet, studious and unassuming are hack- neyed words, but when applied to Helen, they have an individuality like her own. When she shifts some of her responsibility to broader shoulders may she live happily ever after. ■ , ' ♦ ♦ %, % % 4 X Senior Ch CORNELIA ATKINS CINCINNATI, OHIO History Nell is often called reserved, but those who know her best realize that the sparkle of her blue eves reflects her animation. She has a high academic standing. Her dignity is an added asset to her charm. MARTHA B. ' VCHMAN CHATTANOOGA, TENX. English Her personality is as varied yet as distinctive as an opal. She is dreamy, capable, musical, a lover of horses and books. She can easily be called the most individual girl in college. ' = . Senior Class DOROTHY BAILEY PITTSBLRGH, PA. Social Scirnce What would we do without Dot, the campus queen ? Perhaps books have not been her forte, yet her whole-hearted interest makes her an ideal pal. Nobody ever sees her hurry- ing or worrying, but she seldom fails to do hat is expected of her. ANNE BARRETT BRISTOL, CONS . French Anne possesses just that little bit of dignity that goes to make up charm. She is one of the quiet kind, whose nature never varies. Occasionally we meet people whom the longer we know the better we like. Such a person is .Anne Barrett. ♦ ♦■% ■{ Senior Ch KATHERINE BLOTNT DROOKLVS ' , N. Y. Chemistry Under her calm dignity and poised reserve, there is evident a strength of character and qu iet enthusiasm that impels us all. Hockey is her specialty and for two years she has been the captain of the team. She has a genius for leadership. DOROTHY BOOTH RICHMOND, VA. Latin With plenty of pep to carry her through the numerous dances that she regularly attends, plenty of sense to use when the time comes to study, and a talent for toe-dancing which we all admire, Dotty has won for herself a host of friends. r Senior Class MARY BRISTOL WARSAW, N. y. Social Science No one vould deny that everyone loves Mary. Though so tiny she couldn ' t spare an inch, she somehow always lets us know she ' s there. Her manner is always easv and friendlv. ANNETTE BROWN GREENVILLE, PA. Bioloi y If you want something done well and (|uickly, ask Brownie; if you want a friend, that ' s Brownie. She always greets you with a smile anil a happy word. • • ♦ % r .. --:- ' Senior Cu KATHERINE BRUCE ORANGE, TEXAS English never failing and clever vit makes her the best of company. She did not come tn Sweet Briar for all four years, but we are glad that she came three anvwav. HELEN CARTER LAUREL, MISS. French liidsing energy and enthusiasm are Helen ' s, just the qualities that we all like. Added to these are fidelity, and a taste for the domestic; this is fortunate, considering the circum- stances. Ch MARTHA CLOSE I ' llTSBURCH, PA. Malhematics If sweetness and attractiveness cnuid be estimated in figures, it might be shown in this space how much she has. We, however, are not the only ones who have recognized this fact. There is one particular individual waiting anxiously for her to graduate. ELIZABETH COBB KINGSTON-, PA. Fri-nch An attractive disposition that suits her t pe is Cobbx ' s; and a style that is unique and pleasantly conspicuous. There is about her something Oriental with American whole- someness added to it. • ♦ % J ' l Senior C i JANE CUNNINGHAM AMHERST, VA. English All of us have not had the good fortune to count her friendship as ours, yet we who do know Jane value her quiet influence among us as one of the best things of our college life. MARIETTA DARSIE ERIE, PA. Sociology Because of her happy disposition, unobtrusive kindness, and unselfishness, she means a great deal to all with whom she comes in contact, and proves a real friend. Hai5raSS8K:S5=?5;!? 7 Senior Ch MARGARETTA DENMAN CRAKFORU, K. J. Sociology She has a pleasing assurance of manner that has enabled her to undertake leading the chaperone committee with perfect ability. We can ' t say that it suits Peggy to drive men off campus; she is better, we think, in the opposite capacity. POLLY CAREY DEW SWEET BRIAR, VA. Ilistory Polly Carey combines a lovely face with an unusually brilliant mind. She surpasses us in so many things that we have naturally acciuired the habit of looking up to her. nv -Jv- ' . Senior Ch ADELAIDE DOUGLASS WASHINGTON-, D. C. French Really it amounts to genius! She always looks like a Coles Phillips blonde (plus outer garments) ; she attends every dance in Vir- ginia and surrounding states, and she smiling- ly passes all her courses. Peggy, we would like to know the secret. ESTELLE DROEGE CLEVELAND, OHIO Social Science She is the possessor of a splendid gift — a cheerful disposition. Besides lieiiig capable and efficient, she has qualities of friendliness that endear her to us all. Senior Ch PAGE DUNLAP CHARLESTON ' , W. VA. French She may he one of the listeners in a crowd, but wait until she is alone with her chosen few, and you will find the quiet Page of the outside world the fun-loving, jolly pal. MARGARET ELLIOTT COLUMBIA, S. C. Mathematics Her refined and naive manner create an impression that is hard to forget. Combined with this is all the good sense that a girl could want. She is our idea of the tradi- tional Southern girl. Senior Ch GUDRUN ESKESEN WESTFIELD, K. J. frencli She is a friend vho by being a friend, has made friends in turn. Goodie is the kind who «ill never refuse to do a favor for you. With her qualities of good nature and loy- alty, we predict a happy future for her. MRS. PEYTON EVANS AMHERST, VA. English This Senior Class should, and does, deem itself extremely fortunate that Mrs. Evans came back to be one of its graduates. With her tact, ambition and ability, she has made herself one of its most esteemed members. Senior Class HELEN FINCH PALISADES PARK, N. J. History From New Jersey Helen brought plenty with her of Northern energy as well as efficiency. She has assurance and cleverness and a certain vivacitv of manner. ELINOR GREEN LOCK HAVEN, PA. Frencli She has a consistent good-naturedness thai is almost contagious. Her qualities are those ot dependability and pleasantness in work and play. ♦ ♦ % ..% V infT.T=. i;-ir3SSia ' S «?«i ' ' Senior Clc DOROTHY HAMILTON PITTSBURGH, PA. Social ScifllCf She is spontaneous to a delightful degree. She is ahvays happy, and makes you want to be happy «ith her. The world would prob- ably be a better place if there were more who resembled her. HELEN HASELTINI CHICAGO, ILL. History She has the gift, so rare except among pro- fessional humorists, of making others see things in the same humorous light in which she herself sees them. J CL TAVENNER HAZELWOOD DAXVILLE, VA. Sociology Light-hearted fun and all the bounty of hap- piness belong to Tab. There is something about her that reminds us one moment of an enthusiastic child, and the next of a slightly sophisticated modern girl — a variety that is captivating. JEANETTE HOPPINGER CLEVELAND, OHIO Social Science A suggestion of things foreign and a quiet refined manner mark her as an unusual girl. She is another who came to Sweet Briar for onlv three vears. -J . ♦ % . ♦ 4 :NA Senior Class MILDRED HUDSON PHILADELPHIA, PA. Social Science Milly never lacks the courage of her con- victions; she is self-assured, observant, inter- esting, proficient in many fields. GERTRUDE INGERSOLL WILMETTE, ILL. Philosophy Ker scarcity of pounds is more than made up for by her brilliance of intellect. In fact, she is one of the proofs of the superiority of mind over matter. Senior Class WANDA JENSCH HUDSON ' , WIS. Social Science Wanda ' s temperament is of the elusive type. One cannot determine just the elements, but one realizes that essential and character-form- ing qualities are there. In Wanda ve find a girl who may be depended on for the suc- cess of any undertaking. DOROTHY KELLER PITTSBURGH, PA. Malliematics Dot radiates friendliness and good cheer, and her friends, o are many, seek her company for the joy she constantly casts about her. Senior Ch MARGARET KRIDER PITTSBURGH, PA. Social Science Competence seems to assert itself in her man- ner, but combined with this is something enlivening ivhich makes those who know her little, always want to know her more. MARGARET LAIDLEY PITTSBURGH, PA. Malhematics She is as generous and open-hearted as she is a good sport. She is loyal and pleasant, and because of this she constantly creates aiound her many agreeable impressions. Sen ' iTV EDNA LEE ' MON ' TCLAIR, N. J. Social Scifnce Edna is very versatile, there is nothing she cannot do; yet all she does is done well. The offices she has held here at Sweet Briar show her ability as well as her popiilarit . MAR - E. LOrcUlERV EDINBLRC, I D. Sociolotjy The fact that Mary Elizabeth was awarded the Manson Memorial Scholarship speaks for her ability. She has idealism combined with practical sense. • ♦ ♦ % •  ♦ % % 4 Senior Class MILDRED LOVETT HUNTIXGION, W. VA. FrcncJi She is the kind of girl that you instinctively look up to. To see her is to know that she is a sincere and sympathetic friend as well as a charming one, and to know her is to love her for always. JOYCE MacGREGOR PlITSBURGH, PA. Etlljlisll We will always remember Sis by the ivacity and pep she has kept going strong throughout her four years, not only in clog- ging and music, but in everything else she has done. She firnil ' adheres to the old adage: All work and no play makes Jack a dull bov. il Senior Class DOROTHY McKEE WILKIKSBURG, PA. Sociology Dottie is so very pretty that she doesn ' t need all of the other (jualities that we, the less fortiinte ones, must have to carry us through. but the remarkable part of it is. that she has them anyway. ALBERTA MacQUEEN KATONAH, N. Y. English Self-contained, assured and well-read, Bertie moves among us with a pleasant dignity. A finer girl could not be found; her real depth is realized only when you know her or work with her. ,♦ ♦ ft • Senior Class VIRGINIA MACK CHATTANOOGA, TEKN. Botany and History Virginia has the briskness that often accom- panies smallness such as hers. She has often excited the envy of her classmates, when be- cause of her brilliance she has been able to treat her many hours of History and Science as a mere pastime. MARGARET MALONE PITTSBURGH, PA. Social Science Here is a sense of humor and mischievousness that keeps you on the alert every moment. There is no such thing as being dull and despondent when you are with Peggv. _ =«, Senior Class ELIZABETH MATTHEW ANNE MAYBANK HASTIKGS-ON ' -HUDSOX, N. Y. CHARLESTON, S. C.

She has marked dramatic ability, and makes a captivating heroine. ELIZABETH MOORE HAnOOKFIELD, N. J. Frenc i Striking describes Betty. She is tail and blond and poised. Her abilities lie in many directions and the necessary energy to exer- cise them is not lacking. i Senior Ch HF.LEN MUTSCHLER LANCASTER, PA. Trencli She has a gentleness of manner that gives her a distinction which others who are more self-assertive fail to gain. Quiet humor is evident in her smile. HENRIETTA NELSON COLUMBIA, S. C. French The gift of making people like her as soon as they meet her is Retta ' s. The fact that she is a fine all-round girl is evident in her face and manner. . IP . •. ; •• ♦•:♦ Senior Ch PRISCILLA NOLL MARTINSBURG, W. VA. Social Science Those who have been fortunate enough lo break through Pud ' s reserve have found her pleasant and interesting. Combine energy with ability, sympathy and sincerity and you have some idea of what she is like. KATHRYN NORRIS BROOKLYN, N. Y. Sociology K is all that the term good sport denotes. She is cosmopolitan in her interests and pos- sesses a spicy bit of mischief mixed with her genuine fineness. Her devotion to, and suc- cess with the Drive, are a proof of her marked executive ability, and have won for her the gratitude of Sweet Briar. ( Senior Class l ,. ' jT OIS PETERSON ' LAKEWOOD, PA. Snc ' whgy Lois is another one of our athletes, but that is only one of her accomplishments. As a worker she is all that one could want, and her energy is unbounded. KATHERINE PEYTON SHREVEPORT, LA. Enijtisli She is or)e of those people who know how- to mix frivolity and seriousness in a delightful way, and at the same time accomplish what- ever she may have to do. She is a girl that everybody likes. .♦ , ■ •,♦ .♦ •. MARGARET POSEY LANCASTER, PA. History Peggy ' s ability to learn much -with little study is known throughout school. It must be nice to become an honor student as easily as she has. In addition, she is athletic and has great business ability. DOROTHEA REINBURG CAKUTILLO, TEXAS French Her small and dainty appearance and naive poise suggest fragile delicate things. Her ingenuousness is her attraction and suits to perfection her blonde hair and blue eyes. (I ! - ' Senior Class MARGARET REINHOLD ARDMORE, PA. French Peg has won fame fnr herself and her class in the field of athletics and no varsity team has been complete without her. In the race track of life we wish that she ' ll always hold first place. ELIZABETH ROUNTREE WINSTON-SALEM, N. C. Social Science It doesn ' t seem fair that a girl should have as many admirable qualities as Lyb — intellect, executive ability, moral force, a stunning appearance and a fascination that results in more than popularity — in adoration. N •♦• -,4- MARJORIE SHEPHERD KINGSTON, PA. French Her originality, her vit, her optimism make her a sought after companion, and her popu- larity is not difficult to explain. Her clever- ness is to be admired because it brings pleas- ure and never chagrin. CATHERINE SHULENBURGER HACERSTOWN, MD. English and History To meet Shuley it is necessary to break through a barrier of courteous reserve. Within ue find a warm hospitable friend, who converses with wisdom, frankness and force. Senior Class VIRGINIA LEE TAYLOR NEW YORK CITY Enijlish We do not know anyone who c an combine carefree jollity with dignity as well as Jinny- Lee, and she has supplied us with many cur- rent sayings. She never fails to display her big heart and her willingness to help. KATHERINE TRACY L ' RBAN ' A, ILL. English There is a quick step, a ripple of laughter, a flash of brightness, and Tracy has passed, . t times, too, she assumes a dignity and a poise that intensifies her unique charm. .:fl: BARBARA WARE OGUNQUIT, MAINE Frnich Quiet, gentle, yet friendly, that ' s Barbara. Her smile radiates the generosity ' of her nature. Bee treads softly through this gray old -ivorld, straight into the hearts of all who know her. MARY T. WATKINS HENDERSON, N. C. History She has a never ceasing pep, a cheery dis- position, enough devilment to make life pleasant ; but she is by no means devoid of a serious thought. Senior Class RUTH WEITZENKORN WILKF.S-BARRE, PA. French She is a girl that is different. She is a glorious mixture of whimsicality, fineness, unconventionality and a carefree attitude towards life. MARGARET WHITE ROCK ISLAND, ILL. Frinch She 15 the kind of a girl who at first sight seems old-fashioned, yet when you know her better you find that her ideas are decidedly modern. The combination is desirable. 1 ' V ' . ;. p j.- - ' - KATHLEEN WILLIS SHREVEPORT, LA. French We have in Kathleen a profusion of rare gifts — beauty, sweetness, gentleness and abil- ity.

From that early date it has been the aim of the Association to build up the highest sense of honor, personal and collective, in the Student Body. It was a high ideal of government, but its success has proved that girls can learn the problem of control without the weight of force or the hand of immediate supervision. By this principle of self-development in a social group, the Student Government Association makes of the student a social being, carefully regarding others ' rights and her own du ties and privileges as a member of that group. In so doing it tends to produce a woman of such moral fibre as to raise the standards and ennoble the life of the community in which she takes her place.

Mary Bristol, President Sweet Briar Christian Association The spirit which the Sweet Briar Christian Association attempts to spread is that of friendship. It tries to help meet the problems on the campus as well as those in the neighboring comnuinity. The practical social work that is done is in its help with the children at the Mission, County Nurse, Almshouse and this year with the Amherst children in furnishing them a story-telling hour twice a month, for a successful accom- plishment of its task, the Association requires the co-operation not only of the Cabinet, but of everv member of the Student Hodv.

We feel that the organization of Paint and Patches furthers this aim, and with the steadily increasing helpfulness and interest of its members we are hoping to develop to an even greater degree this phase of college life. .Although our dramatic facilities arc decidedly limited we feel that the spirit which now pervades both active and associate members of the organization, and which we know will increase, wiil surmount the present diHiculties, and in a short time we will have not only an interested group of girls, but a Little Theatre of which we may be proud.

Varsity defeated William and Mary. In spite of the rain everyone turned out — especially the cheering section. Although the field was muddy and slippery the Sweet Briar team man- aged to pile up a score of 34, and to hold William and Mary from scor- ing. The game was distinguished by splendid teamwork. Sweet Briar, 2, s. Westhami ' Tox, i At Sweet Briar The game with our old rivals was played on November the twenty- first, and was one of the most exciting ever played here. It was hard fought every second, and the outcome was doubtful till the final whistle was blown. Westhampton made the first goal, but the splendid work of our back line kept them from scoring again, although they were several times very near the goal. The passing was excellent, and the quickness and sureness of the forward line as it advanced was remarkable; alto- gether the Sweet Briar team deserves great credit for the manner in which the game was played. The final score was 2-1 in favor of Sweet Briar. J, SI ' 11. ( IllA ' llKlsr.

W. C. A. gymnasium on February 13, and was lost to William and Mary by a score of twenty-five to twenty- one. The latter had emerged the victor from two previous games with other inst itu- tions and was well-grounded in teaniworic. Sweet Briar seemed to possess strong players, but was unable to equal her opponents in teamwork. It was a case of a green team against a well-seasoned one ; otherwise they seemed closely matched. The guards were the outstanding strength of the Sweet Briar team, saving time and again what seemed an impossible situation. During the second half, Sweet Briar ' s playing im- proved, but the team reached no high level as a smooth running organization. lixe-up: irilliam and Mary F Love (Captain I Sweet Briar McDiarmid Compton F Ethridge Lamb Boone Gilchrist (Captain) Williams ....

Sweet Brlar, 37, vs. Westhainiptox, 23 at Richmond The second game, February 27th, found Sweet Briar facing Westhampton in the University of Richmond Gymnasium, supported loyally by past, present, and even future Sweet Briar students. If varsity lost the first game on account of lack of team- work and aggressive play, certainly the second game was won by a vigorous demonstra- tion of those qualities. Taking an early lead. Sweet Briar was not to be beaten, and the final score showed thirty-se en to twenty-three in her favor. There were no stars in the game but every player filled her position well, teaming up with the others in splendid style. Mention must be made of the many girls who failed to make the varsity team b a small margin but whose attendance at practices and competition for the positions did much to strengthen the players who arrived.

Many scenes follow. Nurse (announcing happy event) : It ' s a young lady, Professor. Dr. Hume (absent-mindedly) : Ask her what she wants! Ruth L. : Bess paid five dollars for a handkerchief she gave Jocelyn for Christmas. Von Schilling: That was a lot to blow in, wasn ' t it? Amarylis: And what made you stop singing in the choir on Sundays? Florine: Well, one day I didn ' t go and somebody asked if the organ had been fixed. Sis: I ' ve made a remarkable discovery. Ruth: What ' s that? Sis: Why the heavy end of this match is the light one. Two little dogs sat on a doorstep making love. He panted. She panted. A pair of pants that beat as one. T. H.: Chris certainly is getting absent-minded lately. Miss A.M.: Why? T. H.: Well, the other night he was driving his family over a lonely road and they came to a particularly lonely spot and before he knew it he had parked the car. Daphne Bunting: Say, Albers, shall I draw the curtains? One of the living statues has hic- coughs! A dictionary will tell ou what college is but it ' s more interesting to find out for yourself.

Miss Morenus: Can you prove that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides? Margaret Laidley: I don ' t have to prove it. I admit it. Dr. Harley: Have vou any organic trouble? Tootle Maybank: No, Dr. Harley, I can ' t even carrv a tune. The teahouse idea of a to.isted chocolate sandwich is one in which the bread Is left out and Pearl forgets to put the chocolate in. A rooster perhaps should know his eggs, a salcsinan should know his stuff, and even a horse should know his oats; but after all it is a cop that should know his beets. 176 V. M. I.
