The trees were dressed in tired green Since fervor of a Summer long Had left them dreaming shadowy dreams, And singing low their softest song. But soon we saw the touch of Fall Create a blaze in gold and flame, Like gloried face of sunset cloud, , Before the restful Winter came; The fleecy mamle draping sleep And not a death; a vision drest In blackest lace and crystal white; Only a sleep, and hope, and rest. The wakening wind then stirred the bark To give new birth to green, which seemed As if the heart of God touched them In bringing life, and youth redeemed. Trees! God ' s poem! They are glorious here Through all the Season ' s mysteries. And souls are strengthened with the love Inspired by the Sweet Briar trees! c m ■ vu ift-- , ' ;; [yt iiAb_ Patch.

The success of any student government depends upon the interest and co-operation of every member, the acceptance of personal responsibility, and the aim for the materialization of an ideal association which shall stand for the best in the life of the group.

W. C. A. at Sweet Briar is three fold. On campus there is work with the Freshmen, weekly Chapel services, and a reading room. In the community there are classes for the maids and for the children at the Mission. Twice a month there are Sunday School classes and a story hour for the Amherst children. Our branch takes its place in the world at large by its membership in the national Y. W. C.

Through the organization of Paint and Patches we are hoping to develop to an even greater degree this phase of college life. Although our facilities are decidedly limited, we feel that the spirit of both active and associate members of the organization will surmount the present difficulties, and in the near future we will have the Little Theatre toward which we are working. 4 lO t f- ,1 -t i-ir gft-,. . . i«iv V wt-._aei ' . - .  ■ 1 1 V ' „.i,,,-vv;. i , uiS- ' lDUUinitr 4 ■ • - % ■ % ! % i i %■%•{ £- , , ' • V ' K■ Sriar Patch MIi: ' ' yJiilCi =ii;£HIl ' -■ ' .

Never- theless, that was a good game, and much more exciting than usual, because of the University of Richmond band and the regular cheering sections. From the time our girls first threw off their beautiful fur coats, which happen to have been sweaters, and ran on the field in their soothing green tunics, we felt supremely confident that they would win. The field seemed shorter than ours and for the longest time the ball sped from one end to another without a goal being scored, and Huldah and Bebe were right there when it came to carrying the ball down the field. Finally, Dan smote the ball lustily and we were rewarded by the ker plunk which meant that a goal had been scored. Everyone went wild, except the Westhamptonites, who composed about five-sixths of the audience. Bebe, the charming blonde, played all around West- hampton, and Sproul, our Freshman, made a name for herself. That red-headed Copeland girl, in her green tunic, showed them that Christ- mas isn ' t as slow as is commonjy supposed. Sidman went in for Jayne in the second half and made a goal. Westhampton got a goal somehow during the game. We weren ' t paying much attention to them, so I don ' t know how it happened. Dan smote lustily again and the game ended with Sweet Briar winning 3 to I. The team, collectively and indi- vidually, played well. ,i X .- , .. . j ry 9wx j-: J t J UbI ■Patch ! 1 r v I Vi l VA.

A. gymnasium on f i ©B March 5th, and was lost to Westhampton. ( 1 The game was marked by the brilliant shoot- ing of goals by the Westhampton forwards, who seemed to be able to ring up a basket from almost any position on the floor. The teamwork and passing of the Spiderites was far superior to that of the Sweet Briar team, which put up a good fight despite the fact that they seemed unable to get organized into a working unit. Westhampton took the lead early in the game and was never passed. The whole West- hampton team played well, but the forwards were out- standing, while the guards on the Sweet Briar team played the best game. r v) ' 43 Tyriar Patch « ' ji ii I Si; inR-S()l ' Il().M()RI-: BASKETBALL TEAM JUXIOR-FRESHMAX BASKETBALL TEAM . 3irjar Patch % .MaRI Lurl.LAMi, 7c (1 0 Jiiuiis 145 ' X% lAV 4 r S -i£v5i 4== TV jBr7ar Patch r Field Day, April 30, 1926 75- ' ard Dash FiV.( Place Williams (S.

(They begin guzzling, luhen lo! enter the l wo murderers of Banquo, neither looking rightly like the cat ivho siuallo ' wed the can- ary.) First Murderer (to Mac) : Register happiness, old fruit! Locb himelf could not ha ' none a better job of cutthroating! Safe in a ditch Banquo bides With a rattling good slit in the gullet. Mac: Shanks for that: It had brought on my head logoes on the bogoes ; As tough as a year in jail; Get thee gone — to some jazz jazzed Janes. (Exeunt Murderers) Lady Mac: Avast, my ball and chain — Come hither lest thy guests Go like cheese at a rat ' s convention. Remember th ' escutcheon to keep it verdant; Dost want me to lose Membership in the Campfire Girls? Mac: Sweet remembrances! Now good digestion waits on appetite And health on both! (Enter ghost of Banquo and sits in Macbeth ' s place.) Ghost: The table ' s full! Lady Mac: What ' s your disease, dearie? Dost feel like six days Or a little week? Mac: Eight More guesses, but you don ' t need ' em. (To Ghost): Thou canst not say I did it: never shake Thy gory toupe at me. Run up the hill; stick thy neck in and Pull a tombstone up around it. First Guest: Tain ' t possibill ! He gambles ducats Like the man who offered a million To the widow of the Unknown Soldier. ' ' Mac: Hence, horrible shadow! A vaunt! and quit my sight! Jump through the window And end my pane! Second Guest: ' Hoot mon Send for old Scissnr-end Bones To end his D. T. ' s; That ' s the tip-off! He ' s horribly garbled! Let ' s roll our hoops On other ' s pavements. (Exeunt Lady Mac, Ghost and whatnot) Mac: Good riddance. Was bored to a cinder.
