I. A. Three degrees were issued at the close of the school year in 1915. September, 1915, found the fourth year’s work organized for a regular Senior Class. The organization of this fourth year’s work marks a great advance in the progress of the College. It marks the advancement of C. I. A. from a Junior College to a College of the First Rank. We, the Seniors of 1916, are the Charter Members, as it were, of such a class. The 1916 Senior can say that she has been a Junior, a Middler, a Senior twice—but never a Freshman. Nancy Kritser.

The Sophomore Class No doubt it would be very hard to find, Another class with records of our kind. Not only in school work have we kept ahead, But in other ways as well, when all is said. In basket ball we are by far the best. We beat the Freshmen, Juniors—all the rest. Last the 1915 pennant by us was won And keeping it again this year was rare fun. Since we hold the championship this year, As Juniors we will do the same, never fear. And may our Junior and Senior years at C. I. A. Only equal the past two, let us devoutly say. Furman Hair.

The Juniors, as usual, follow closely in their foot-steps and are sufficiently overbearing. Our Sophs having only recently passed the stage we are now in, have not yet taken on the overbearing personality of the other upper class- men; they are, one might say, still “on the fence.” But the Freshman Class is the very essence of Democracy. Even the Preps aspire to our heights; and we are not averse to giving them a little advice whereby they may reach this laudable goal more quickly. Nor does the Freshman Class refuse to help the more advanced students in time of need. Our illustrious career at this College began as First Preps in 1913. At that time we were only forty-four strong. The next year, however, our number increased to seventy-five, and this year we have numbered three hundred. We were saved from the embarrassing situations which most Freshman Classes undergo for forty-nine of the Preps were left. These veterans formed a nucleus around which the new girls clustered. Perhaps this accounts for the renown of our class. Who can say? We have had a share in basket ball, tennis, and athletics of all kinds. Unusual ability along these lines was soon discovered in this remarkable class. Our Fresh- man athletics were only surpassed by those who had had the advantage of one year more of training than the Freshmen. In view of the fact that in so large a class many of us had failed to meet and know each other personally, our annual Freshman Hop was planned on a “get acquainted” basis. This proved a great success and our object was more than accomplished. In fact, in looking back through the cycles of time and the histories of countless Freshmen Classes, we fail to discover one that has accomplished as much as the Freshman Class of 1916.

Here I am a High School graduate with nothing to do. I would like to go off to school, but what good would one year at College do? Let me think—I remember getting an announcement of a one-year course from the College of Industrial Arts the other day. O, yes! It was called the “Homemakers’ Course.” I’m going to see what it is like. C. I. A., March 15, 1916: It has been a long time since I have talked to you, dear old diary, but I have been too busy with my work to think of you much. My! I have learned so many things since I came here that I feel like a new person. First of all, I learned that the purpose of this course was to prepare a woman to cope efficiently and intelligently with all the problems that she will meet. Although it is a one-year course, the work is so concentrated that it gives us an adequate preparation for life. Not only do we receive a thorough training in Domestic Science and Domestic Art, but in Economics, Psychology and Sociology, and a lot of other things as well. Just think, only ten weeks until graduation! Then I will take my little Diploma home and put in practice some of the things I have learned. Oh! It’s time for the “lights out!” Good night, dear old diary! Ethel Frazier. The Commercial Arts Class OFFICERS President .. Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer Motto : Loya!ty to C. I.

D. 1916, a memorable event happened on the scarred battlefields known as the College of Industrial Arts. A noble army of thirteen, composed of the bravest girls of the Southland, began a siege of Fort Commercial Arts. Owing to the excellent organization, under the combined leadership of Com- manders-in-Chief Allen and Carter, and General Zimmerman, suc- cess crowned their efforts in May, 1916. As a reward of her valor each of the brave warriors was awarded a Diploma of Special Merit. “CLA55L5- MB Preparatory Class CLASS OFFICERS First Term Mary Oi.a Roberts Grace Graham Willie Marie Park Marguerite Spencer Second Term Mary Ola Roberts Willie Marie Park Esther Carpenter Marguerite Spencer Third Term Mary Oi.a Roberts Rob Stratton Sadie Jones Willie Marie Park Colors : Black and Gold President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer President Vice-President Secretary President Vice-President _____Secretary Flower : Black Eyed Susan ROLL Arnold, Mattie Allen, Ruth Barnhill, Hoyland Boone, Beryl Bray, Vonia Cahill, Ruby Callihan, Nova Lee Carpenter, Esther Conner, Elsie Cornell, Sarah Ellen Daniel, Lois Davis, Hessie Ellis, Rachel Garnett, Vivienne Gibson, Mattie Graham, Grace Graveley, Esther Harper, Ethel Heisig, Nellie Hubbard, Ann Huches, Winnie Hunt, Della Johnson, Nora Jones, Sadie Kasberc, Clara King, Viva Lane, Marguerite Leatherwood, Amy Lee, Hattie Mackensen, Emma F.

I. A. arrived at the recruiting station on the top of Blue Serge Hill. With much trepidation and many tears at first, they started on their nine months’ term of active service. There were many hard-fought battles in the course of the year, but the brave volunteers stood the test well. After a furlough of three months, twenty battle-scarred veterans of the original thirty volunteers re-enlisted for service in the fall of 1915. At the same time fifty-eight new recruits expressed a desire to enlist in the fight for Knowledge by enlisting in the Second preparatory Company. This year the struggle for Knowledge has been greater than ever before. The modern inventions of warfare such as the faculty, notebooks, reference books and quizzes have made the conflict a cruel one indeed. However, owing to their great efficiency result- ing from co-operation and unity in all their engagements, the Prep Corps have many victories to their credit. And no doubt those sturdy veterans that will be left will enlist for their third year of service as Freshman in the year 1916.

In 1904 the College had one graduate; in 1905 there were nine; for 1911 there were twenty-eight, and for 1915 eighty-eight. Each graduate upon receiving her diploma is an alumna, but is not an active member of the Alumnae Association until she has signified her intention of joining, and has paid the dues of one dollar. The class of 1905, in which was organized the present Alumnae Association, started a scholarship fund which is still in existence in the organization and for which the members are working earnestly in order to increase it to an amount which will be available for worthwhile scholarships. This fund is intended to be in the form of a permanent endowment, from which only the interest will be used. We are proud to say that the interest of our graduates does not wane after leaving C. I. A. Alumnae clubs are organized, regular meetings are held and the spirit and interest of college days are kept alive. The first city chapter of which there are records is the Houston C. I. A. Club, organized in 1910, and now number- ing over twenty active members. This chapter has always been found ready to co-operate with the interests of the College and during the Texas Woman’s Fair held in Houston last fall, the assistance of this club was invaluable in carrying out the College exhibit and other special features arranged in Houston at that time. Other active and progressive clubs are in various cities, the best known being in Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio and San Angelo. The College and Alumnae in general are always delighted to hear of these new organizations and doubtless in a few years there will be a score or more of these active clubs scattered over the State. The Dallas Club has gone down in history as the originator of the free domestic science school idea. This is a service which can be rendered to the city or community in which the C. I. A. graduate lives and the value of which is estimated in the splendid benefits resulting to the community. The domestic science school idea has been followed by many of the graduates in the smaller places throughout the State. Encouraging reports come in to the group of Alumnae at the College of the splendid work which is being done by these graduates of the College in addition to the regular school work. They are showing the loyalty which is to be expected of the graduates of C. 1. A. From the questionnaire sent out to all the graduates of the College, last summer, some exceptionally interesting material has been made available. It was sent out to three hundred and forty-four graduates of the years prior to the year 1915. From these replies and from other information recently compiled it is found that about one-third of C. I. A’s. Alumnae is married, another third is teaching; others are in attendance at C. 1. A. and universities of the North obtaining their degrees. A small number are following occupations other than teaching, while a few are remaining at home or their exact occupations are unknown. Of the occupations other than teaching the following are noted: physician, librarian, canning club and home economic workers, architect, journalists, social service workers and secretaries. These statistics and other notes of interest were given at the mid-year meeting held on March 11, 1916. About twenty members were present and a very inter- esting session was held. Interesting addresses were given by President Bralley, Mr. M. L. Williams and Mr. C. A. Tripp, Extension Director. One of the most important matters of business transacted at that time was the decision of the Association to allow all the past graduates of the College to become active members upon the payment of one dollar, which payment will cancel all back dues. The close of the Mid-year Session was celebrated by a delightful reception in honor of the visiting Alumnae and the class of 1916. To each of the graduates, die College of Industrial Arts extends its heartiest greetings and best wishes, and assures each of you a welcome when ever you may return to C. I. A.

First Preparatory Florence Green First Preparatory Lucy Rice Chairman Stoddard Hall Councilmen Rheba Fabj Chairman Methodist Dormitory Councilmen The Students’ Association is an organization composed of all the students of the College. The officers are elected each year by the popular vote of the student body, while two representatives are elected by each class. These officers and repre- sentatives from the various classes compose the “Students’ Council” in which is vested the executive power of the Association. The object of this Association is to unite the student body in such a way that they will uphold higher ideals and standards of conduct. With the growth of the student body each year the Association has come to place the responsibility of government upon the students themselves. A great step was made in this direction this year with the adoption of the Honor System. By the adoption of this system a personal responsibility is placed upon each student, not only with regard to questions of honor, but to College and uniform regulations as well. In both dormitories and the annex the enforcement of rules is accomplished through the efforts of the students themselves. In the future the Students’ Council expects to extend this plan of government to the boarding houses in town. In addition to this the Council is also working on a number of other plans which will result in benefit and growth for the whole student body.

CLUB The Mary Eleanor Brackenridge Club was organized in 1907 by one of the students of the College of Industrial Arts, and became affiliated in 1911. Although the membership was very small at first, it has grown until it now reaches the two hundred mark. The Club has as its object the raising of the general standard of knowledge among its members; the establishment of higher ideals and the development of a greater sympathy for humanity. Regular meetings are held twice a month throughout the year, at which the Club takes up a study of Literary and Artistic subjects and personages, and especially the movements among women in Texas and the world at large. In addition to this, the M. E. B. Club is introducing another phase of club activity not followed by any other student organization in the College. It endeavors to aid in the education of the girls of Texas by putting its money into a loan which defrays the expenses of a fellow student. The Club helps the students to become better acquainted through one or more entertainments given each year in honor of the Chaps., Faculty, and other Students.

This year the club has become a chapter of the American Federation of Arts and now holds a place in the exhibit circuit. It also secured an exhibit of five leading Art Schools of America and the water color exhibit of Mr. Gideon of Austin. The object of the Art Club is the development of art education and art appre- ciation not only among its members, but among the student body as a whole. American Mural Painting, which has been the subject of the Club’s study this year, has been thoroughly and enthusiastically worked out. The exhibits which the Club has held have given an excellent opportunity for a detailed study of good art. Next year the Club plans to have at least two lecturers of note address the students in addition to several exhibits which have already been arranged for. It is also probable that Art Extension work from the College will be given next year for the promotion of interest in art throughout the public schools of Texas.

L. Williams The Athletic Association of the College of Industrial Arts has as its fundamental purpose the furtherance of greater interest in all out-door sports. Especially does it aim to stimulate interest in tennis, basket ball, track work, hiking and all field exercises which will add vim and vigor to College life, stimulate strong but friendly rivalry, and develop fair dealings, self-direction and self-control. The Association gives appropriate prizes to the winner of the Inter-class Tennis Tournament and to those who make their teams in the Basket Ball Tournaments. Basket Ball Perhaps in no other sport in the College are the students so much interested as in basket ball. The event of greatest interest in the College each year is the Inter-class Tournament which decides the winner of the pennant for another year. This year regular teams, unusually well-matched, caused basket ball to reach its highest mark at C. I. A. Practice was begun early in the fall by each of the various class teams for this event. Two tournaments were held this year, in both of which the Sophomores carried off the pennant. At the end of the second tournament numerals were given to the best players on each team.

Every Club hikes once a week. Five routes leading out of Denton were selected by the Clubs. Starting with short hikes at first, the Clubs have increased them to five miles or more. At the close of the year, a prize will be given to the Club which will have walked the greatest number of miles. The Publications of C. I. A.

From the beginning it has been a member of the Texas Inter-collegiate Press Association, and has always been represented at each annual convention. This year it was represented at the T. I. P. A., which met at Simmons College, at Abilene, by Clare Ousley, recording secretary of the Association, Dorothy Fitzgerald and Ruth West. Last year Margaret Malone, a member of the College Press Club, won first prize offered by the Association for the best essay; this year, Irmengard Eberle received first prize in the poem contest. The qualifications for election to membership in the Press Club are an average of “A” in English, a general average of “B” in all other subjects, and the unanimous vote of the Club, in addition to a keen interest in journalism. The membership is limited to thirty. The programs outlined in the year book for 1915-16, have been enthusiastically followed. In the first half of the year under the division of “Student Publications,” the needs, purposes and aims of the Lass-O, the Quarterly, and the Year Book were discussed. Student Publications, together with the work of other Press Clubs, were reviewed. Under the second division, “Journalism,” the Club held most interesting meetings devoted to reviews and criticisms of a number of the standard magazines and newspapers, which are received regularly in the Club room. Woman’s place in the field of journalism was a subject interestingly developed by a woman journalist. The Club has also enjoyed many social affairs during the year. After having gone through the mysterious rites of initiation, the new girls were entertained by the old. Other such affairs, as candy pulls in the Student’s Kitchen and early morning hikes, have been some of the merry-makings of the Press Club. In brief, the Press Club this year has lived up to its motto, “Press On”; it has pressed not only onward but upward as well.

Comic Editor MANAGERS Alma McHenry Business Manager Olive Black Associate Business Manager Mattie Bobbitt Assistant Business Manager Lucy Rice Advertising Manager The Humor of Fielding, Sterne, and Goldsmith Inasmuch as humor is one of the vital elements in the novel, it is fitting that we notice the development of this element as it is found in its beginning in the early English novelists—Fielding, Sterne and Goldsmith. The satirical humor of Henry Fielding is illustrated by his “Joseph Andrews,” which appeared in 1759, a novel satirizing Samuel Richardson’s “Pamela.” Fielding believed the people could be reformed more successfully through hearty laughter than through prosy morals and solemn sermons. He applied his doctrine by satiriz- ing the follies and weaknesses in human nature in such a way as to produce a whole-souled laugh. By means of comic scenes and situations in which we see the influence of the Restoration drama, his humor now and then bursts forth. Two excellent examples of comic scenes may be observed in “Joseph Andrews.” The first scene shows Joseph and Parson Adams as they arrive at an inn. Because of the surly way in which the landlord treats Joseph, Parson Adams knocks the land- lord sprawling on the floor. The inn keeper’s wife snatches a pan of hog’s blood which stands at hand, and flings it directly into the poor parson’s face. While Adams is in this ridiculous plight, in walks Mrs. Slipslop; whereupon, a hair-pulling scene takes place. Here the element of coarseness appears. In a second scene Adams, for the purpose of securing a loan, goes to the home of a fellow-parson, Trulliber, who, in addition to his dignified office as parson, also keeps fine hogs. By the mistake of Mrs. Trulliber, parson Adams is introduced to parson Trulliber as a “man come for some hogs.” Trulliber immediately drags Adams to the sty, where, upon seizing the tail of an extremely capricious hog, the unlucky parson is thrown headlong into the mire. Trulliber laughs contemptuously and enjoys the joke. These two instances at once show the roughness of Fielding’s efforts. The humor produced through the revelation of hypocrisy and affectation, however, though still rough and boisterous, is more clever than that seen in the comic situations. One sees affectation in Lady Grave-airs, who, overcomes her modesty, and peeps through the sticks of her fan when Joseph, torn, bleeding, and bereft of his clothing is taken into the stage coach. The same lady, after denying having any wine with her, upon dropping her flask, is surprisingly shocked that her maid should have put wine in the flask instead of Hungary water. During the same episode, one meets the humane lawyer who is willing to pick Joseph up, merely for fear of the law, and the poor thief who is the only one in the entire company willing to part with his coat in order to protect Joseph. The most delightful humor is that which gleams forth now and then through the incongruity of Parson Adams. Indeed, the unprac- tical parson knows all about the pillars of Hercules, but he is astonished at the mention of the Levant. About seventeen years after the appearance of Fielding’s “Joseph Andrews,” Lawrence Sterne’s “Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy,” was published. Perhaps the most striking observation to be made here is the interweaving of Sterne’s humor and pathos. By some happy, life-like stroke, Sterne can produce a bit of pleasantry and wit under really serious and pathetic circumstances. Here one notices a delicacy and lightness not found in Fielding; and thus there is a step forward in the development of humor. Sterne does introduce satire through the weaknesses and inconsistency of human nature as does Fielding; yet he is not as dependent upon ridiculous circumstances and comic scenes. His humor is of a more sentimental type. In the “Sentimental Journey,” it seems as if Sterne were talking to you in the most charming manner, slipping in now and then a touch of the humorous. It is true that much of the coarse and indecent is found in Sterne, especially in his “Tristram Shandy.” Again, an implied second meaning often spoils what might otherwise be delightfully witty. Yet in spite of this fact, there is really an advance in the development of humor, since there is not the continuous roughness and hilariousness found in the humor of Fielding, and there is less of a seeming attempt to be humorous—the humor seems more natural and whimsical. One incident based on human nature is especially good. Yorick notices a man, who goes about begging most successfully from women, but who never approaches men. One day as Yorick chances to overhear a conversation between the beggar and two women, the riddle is solved. When the beggar demands twelve sous, each woman declares she has not a single sou about her. The beggar then begins flattering; he tells the women of the complimentary way in which a passing gentle- man spoke of them. Finally a quarrel ensues between the two women as to which one shall bestow the charity. The beggar soon joyfully departs, having accepted twelve sous from each of the fair damsels. At another time, Yorick relates a story of a Marquis who, because of reduced circumstances, gives up his sword and descends to the plane of a commercial life. Later, after gaining quite a fortune, he and his family, in a most dignified and pompous manner, return to the court to redeem the sword. Observing a spot of rust on the sword, the Marquis bends his head over it, and a tear is seen to drop from his eye. “I shall find,” said he, “some other way to get it off,” and he passes on, leaving the reader to catch the twinkle of humor, just as he is upon the verge of tears. Similar instances may be seen in the pathetic yet ridiculous case where the poor peasant mourns over his dead ass; and in a theatre where the dwarf attempts to observe the play with a seven foot, corpulent German stationed squarely in front of him. At one time Yorick takes the hand of a little boy to help him across a gutter. Observing the face of the little fellow afterwards, he finds him to be about forty. The well known ass episode in “Tristram Shandy” shows a mixture of half humorous pity, pathos, and sentiment. The ass has turned into a yard to get some turnip tops and cabbage leaves which he has espied there. He stands with his two fore feet inside the yard, his two hind feet toward the street as if not knowing whether to go in or no. Tristram coming up says of the ass: “Now ’tis an animal (be in what hurry I may) I cannot bear to strike. Here is a patient endurance of sufferings written so unaffectedly on his looks and carriage, which pleads so mightily for him that it always disarms me, and to that degree that I do not like to speak unkindly to him; on the contrary—I have ever something civil to say to him on my part, and, as one word begets another (if he has as little to do as I), I generally fall into a conversation with him.” Then he proceeds to speak thus: “Come Honesty! art thou for coming in or going out? The ass twists his head around to look up the street. ‘Well, we’ll wait a moment for thy driver.’ He turns his head thoughtfully about and looks wistfully the opposite way. T understand perfectly, if thou takest a wrong step in this affair, he will cudgel thee to death’.” Tristram, seeing that the ass does not care for the artichoke stem at which he is nibbling, pulls out a bag and feeds the ass a macaroon. Relating the incident, he said, “My heart smites me that there was more of pleasantry in the conceit of seeing how an ass would eat a macaroon than of beneficence in giving him one which presided in the act.” Upon coming to Oliver Goldsmith’s “Vicar of Wakefield,” one heartily agrees with Thackeray who refers to it as a snowdrop springing up.” In the seven years which have passed since the publication of the “Sentimental Journey,” humor has improved more than in the seventeen years between Fielding’s “Joseph Andrews” and Sterne’s “Sentimental Journey.” Goldsmith’s humor is delicate. He, too, derives humor from the peculiar characteristics of human nature. However, his is not the printed humor tending toward ridicule seen in Fielding and Sterne. Goldsmith’s treatment of human nature is gentle, delicate and genial. His treatment is well illustrated in the humane portrayal of Mrs. Primrose, who, combined with indi- vidual characteristics, is a typical eighteenth century mother planning and scheming for the advantageous matrimonial alliances of her daughters. The Vicar himself is accepted as a descendant of Fielding’s Parson Adams. But again the advance in humor is revealed in the difference between the picturing of the two men. Both are good, innocent and ignorant of the ways of the world. In the Vicar, however, there is a more refined humor. He does not fall into the rowdy scrapes to which Parson Adams is subjected. The rough, external mirth of “Joseph Andrews” has developed into a wholesome, genial feeling of humor which bubbles up from within. One ever enjoys the humorous situations; one when Moses, returns from the fair with a gross of supposedly silver-rimmed spectacles in return for a colt; and another when the Vicar himself, resolved to make an excellent bargain, returns with an illegal draft from the same man who has deceived Moses. Delightful touches are given when the Vicar, thinking he is being royally enter- tained by the Master of the house, finds his host to be the footman. A sly bit of humor is offered by the eldest son, George, who gets almost to Holland for the purpose of teaching English, before it occurs to him that it is impossible for him to teach a Dutch-speaking people English, when he himself does not speak Dutch. The party at neighbor Flamborough’s where the Primrose family is found in the midst of a most undignified game of “Hunt the Slipper,” by two fine town acquaint- ances, Lady Blaisey and Miss Carolina Wilhemina Amelia Skeggs, (I repeat the entire name out of respect for the Vicar to whose delight it contributed) produces simple, wholesome amusement. These illustrations and comparisons show the development of humor from the beginning in Fielding through Goldsmith. From the hearty but rough and usually coarse humor typical of the first half of the eighteenth century, much of which is derived from the sufferings and afflictions of people, from situations and subjects not mentioned today, we come to Goldsmith, whose humor is characterized by a gentle refinement which is read and enjoyed by the people of modern times. Ruth Kline, ’16. The Bird Light Brown “A telegram!” and Edith snatched the yellow slip from her father. “From Mr. West watched his daughter’s face while she read the message, and being reassured that the news was not bad, he strolled into the kitchen to tell his wife. “Father!” shrieked Edith West from the top of the staircase a moment later, “Father, father, father!” “What on earth!” and her father almost ran into the hall below. “Go to the drug store, please, and get me a bottle of hair dye—light brown.” Mr. West’s countenance fell, “Is that what the telegram says?” “O father, don’t ask questions now! Please hurry. I’ve got to have that hair dye, father; James is only thirty. Hurry, he’ll be here any minute!” Mr. West went to the hall-tree rather unwillingly, took his hat, and was about to leave, when his wife called from the kitchen: “Then you can stop at the grocery store and bring the things home. They are so slow about delivering.” All right,” said John West, “Yes, yes,” and he walked off leisurely, while Edith came fluttering down the steps, frantically beseeching her father to hurry. When he was at last out of sight, Edith went into the kitchen, to relieve her troubled soul by complaining to her mother. “What would become of me if James should arrive before I get that hair dye on,” she whispered. “Mercy! James would never marry me if he knew that my hair was perfectly grey. Never! Oh, I wish father would hurry!” “Never mind,” said her mother, “I am preparing a dinner that will win any man’s heart. This is to be a demonstration of your ability in cooking, my dear.” “And you are sure you have the right number of calories? So much depends on that!” While they were thus talking, Mr. West had sauntered back. He tossed Edith her bottle, and the young fiancee of thirty-five pecked a kiss on her father’s fore- head, and fled up the steps. Then followed a momentary silence, during which Mr. West unwrapped the other packages, and began making the French dressing by his wife’s directions. Then suddenly there was a series of shrieks, which sent Mr. and Mrs. West flying into the hall; a groan and they were in their daughter’s bed-room. Edith stood in front of the dresser, looking pale and desperate. “Edith, what is the matter!” cried her mother. “Edith,” coaxed her father. “Vinegar!” shrieked Edith, “vinegar, and look at my hair!” Mrs. West looked bewildered; Edith looked faint. Mr. West, with a sudden gleam of intelligence, rushed down the stairs and into the kitchen, and returned with a bottle of hair dye. Edith breathed a sigh of relief and grabbed it. “Black!” she snapped, and threw it down, “I use light brown.” Dry desperation glittered in her eyes. Mr. West felt that if Mr. Whitmore should come now, and should discover Edith’s age, her father would be blamed the rest of his life for hindering her marriage; consequently, he got his hat quietly, and left the house. Breathlessly he arrived at the drug store, and demanded of the first clerk, “One quart bottle of Oliver’s Hair Dye—light brown—No you needn’t take time to wrap it.” The next moment he was a block nearer home, walking hurriedly, and too preoccupied to notice that the car stopped, and that Mr. Whitmore got off. “Hello!” cried a cheerful voice, and James Whitmore fell in step with his father-in-law to be. “Good evening,” said Mr. West rather less cordially, thinking about his daughter’s distress. Mr. Whitmore, surprised at Mr. West’s indifference, being accustomed to much encouragement from both Mr. and Mrs. West, looked him over wonderingly. Noticing the bottles he inquired, “Any one sick?” “Oh no, all quite well.” Then Whitmore’s eyes fell upon the label of the bottle. “Oliver’s Hair Dye— Light Brown,” he read. Surprised, he looked at Mr. West’s hair. No, it could not be for him; nor could it be for Mrs. West, for her hair was grey, without even a pretense at brown. A long silence followed. Suddenly Mr. West thought of the bottle and removed it cautiously to his pocket. Mr. James Whitmore smiled. Arriving at home, Mr. West ushered his guest into the living-room and immed- iately excused himself to notify his daughter. Upstairs he met a sadder sight than before. His wife was in tears, and his daughter sat in silent agony. “Has he come?” asked Edith bitterly. “Yes,” said her father, “but I’ll keep him busy until you get fixed up.” “No, it takes too long; he’ll guess.” “Well, we can have dinner, and then he won’t miss you much.” “Dinner” sighed his wife, “Oh John,—the dinner is ruined! You put the hair dye into the French dressing!” “Then we’ll have dinner without the salad,” declared Mr. West irritably. “You haven’t a bit of sense,” groaned his family. “A good dinner might have saved Edith,” continued his wife, “but John, you have ruined everything.” Mr. West was at his wits end, also at the end of his patience. He turned on his heel and went down stairs. Mrs. West and her daughter sobbed on for a moment or two; then seeing that weeping brought them no help, not even sympathy, they began to plan for action. “Well,” said Edith, “we can’t sit here and cry all night. Go and tell Mr. Whitmore that I am deathly ill.” Then she wiped her tears and looked out of the window dejectedly. Mrs. West collected herself and went down. She looked so care-worn when she took Mr. Whitmore’s hand and told him of Edith’s illness that he could almost have believed her. But the bottle of hair dye had told too much. “Ah, I am so sorry it had to happen,” added Mrs. West, “Edith was so happy when she received your telegram. But come, we must go into dinner.” “Oh no, I must see my Edith,” said the cruel man with a dry smile. “Oh no,” hastened Mrs. West. “Indeed, yes; surely she will want to see me, she is no nearly my wife,” insisted James. “I’ll ask her,” and Mrs. West flew up the steps. Edith took the news calmly. “Well,” she said, “give me my boudoir cap.” She gave the room one lightning glance and then darted about wildly, throwing the slippers under the bed, and slamming the curlers into the top dresser drawer. Her mother grabbed up everything else she could find, and dumped it into the closet; then went down stairs again, and told Mr. Whitmore that he might come up. James thanked her profusely, as she led the way up the stairs, as though she was leading a funeral procession. Edith heard them coming and pulled her cap still further down over her face. They paused at the door; Edith gave the counterpane a final twitch; and dropped into a chair, with a paleness entirely natural. Mrs. West entered and James followed. “My poor little Edith,” he smiled. Edith gasped; Mrs. West reeled; a moment’s dreadful silence ensued. All three had caught sight of the bottle of hair dye, which had been overlooked in the skirmish of cleaning up. Mr. Whitmore advanced to Edith's chair. Edith, too appalled to speak, looked really ill. James gazed at her queerly; then holding her hands gently in one of his, with the other he removed her cap. Edith dashed her hands over her head and hid her face. Mrs. West lost consciousness somewhere along the east wall of the room. “By George,” murmured James, and after a while, “never mind, we are at least even now—I have been using that stuff for the last twenty years.” Irmengard Eberle, ’16.

Selma Ashley, ’16. The Last Night CAST OF CHARACTERS Hiram Andrews—an old man. Mary Andrews—his wife. (It is twilight. Hiram and Mary are sitting on the back steps of the farm house). Mary: Seems to me, Hiram, ’twould’nt be so hard to leave the old place if we wus going to a village, or a little town even, but to go to the city—it’ll be so different and— I jest don’t see how I can. Hiram: That’s the way I feel, too, Mary. It’s hard enough to leave anyway, but going to the city makes it a lot worse. If the children could only understand how its most killing us to leave, they’d let us stay. But they’re so afraid folks ’ll think they’re neglectin’ us now, since they’ve got so much themselves. Mary: Yes, they’re tryin’ to be good to us and they think it so funny we don’t want to go. But we’ve lived here ever since we wus married and all the children wus born here. We worked so hard to pay the farm out; and don’t you remember how proud we wus when we could say it was all ours? Hiram: Yes, yes! And then when we saved enough to buy the west pasture and the new buggy-team! Pore old Jim! I believe he knows we are going to leave him. Tonight when I went to feed him, he looked at me so pitiful and rubbed his nose against my sleeve like he might a knew ’twas the last time I’d ever bring him his oats and hay. When I think about it being the last time I’ll ever feed the horses or milk or bring in the wood it most kills me, Mary—I didn’t see— Mary: I know, I know! I’ve been thinking about it all day. It’s the last time I’ll sweep the floors, it’s the last time I’ll cook the supper, it’s the last time I’ll shet up the chickens; tonight’s the last night we’ll ever set out here and watch the stars come out, it’s the last— Hiram: Don’t Mary—- Mary: I’ve been thinking back all day. Seems like every way I turn reminds me of somethin’ when the children was little. Do you remember, Hiram, when they all had the measles and how scared we wus! and then when Little Nell got burned so bad the day we wus renderin’ lard! and then when the girls had their first party! How proud we was of them and kinder sad-like, too, to think they wus so big. Then when Agnes got married and left us—how lonesome it wus! I was looking today at the white rose bush by the gate, where we got the roses for her bouquet. Then the boys married and then Nell and now there’s just us two like there was at first— Hiram: And they can’t understand why we don’t want ’a leave the old place and come and live with them. Looks like they’d understand! Mary: The moon’s a going to rise right behind the cedar trees where little Tommie’s grave is. See how thick and black they look with the red sky behind them!—I believe-I’ll have to go in, Hiram, some way I don’t feel right well. Fay Jackson, ’17 The Cage CHARACTERS Annie Washborne. Mrs. Washborne—(Annie’s Mother). Mr. Massy—(Annie’s Music Teacher). Dark, old fashioned, shabby parlor. Annie at the piano. Mrs. Washborne lying on a couch. Mrs. Washborne, (Fretfully): Now, that’s the way with girls—a mother slaves and slaves to give them an education and make ladies of them, and when she’s wore herself out on ’em and grief and bad health is bowed her down, they want to mortgage the house to go on with their wicked ways! A daughter of mine! (gives artificial groan). O, your poor father, what would he think? I’m glad he died, for this would have broke his poor old heart—A daughter of his on the stage, and the Washborne house mortgaged. Annie: But, mother, he mortgaged the house himself before he died; 1 begged him not to, while you encouraged him. Mrs. Washborne: Annie, ain’t you ashamed to profane your poor dead father’s memory in that way? Annie: I can make a good living as a concert singer—It’s not like the stage; then you could be properly supported. All I need, Mr. Massy says, is a few month's polishing in New York. He already has me a position promised. Mrs. Washborne: I’m nothing but an old woman, and my days are numbered. Go on your own sinful way and let your mother die alone of grief. I’m old now, and no one cares. Let the mortgage be foreclosed and leave your mother without a roof over her head. Annie: But, mother, how could I make a living for us here. The school does not pay enough for one person to live on, much less two; and a mortgage besides. There’s nothing else I can do. Mrs. Washborne, (Sitting up): Annie, I’m glad your poor old father is not Sunday, and teach school, and work a garden, and sell vegetables, and bake cake, before she’d let her poor old invalid mother go mebbe without a home and die alone in the world. Annie: But, Mother, why should I do all that, when I could take better care of you by singing? There’s no use caging up your talents when you can make every one happier by giving them to the world. Mrs. Washborne, (Sitting Up): Annie, I’m glad your poor old father is not alive to hear you say that. Take me away from my home, old and feeble and weak as I am, and drag me to New York. One of the Washborne’s an actress! You know you want to be an actress; for the only time you ever sung, you sung in the theater. Never! It would kill me to see my daughter on the stage! I'm too old to change my way of life for such; I would die. (Falls back limply). Annie, (Rises, puts her music slowly in the cabinet, locks it, and gives the key to her mother): Mother, I’ll stay. I must go now and see about getting the school. When Mr. Massy comes, you tell him—I can’t. (Walks toward the door). Mrs. Washborne, (In a loud, querulous voice): Well, it looks like you might be old enough to manage your own business, by this time, but then, as usual, the disagreeable is left to your poor mother. I’ll have to tell Mr. Massy. Act 2 Same room, three years later. Annie and Mr. Massy seated. Annie in deep mourning. Mr. Massy: Now as soon as you get strong enough, we’ll get you ready for that New York study. It was a very foolish thing for you to give up entirely as you did. Your mother should have been considered, but it was wrong for you to throw away as great a gift as you had. But now everything will be all right as soon as you are rested up. Try to forget your poor mother and cheer up. Play some now. Annie: I can’t be happy now. It seems that I can’t get back any hope. I still feel caged up as I was before. (Plays a few bars of music on the piano, but stops, looking wonderingly at her stiff, red hands). Mr. Massy: Well, well, let’s sing. (Takes Annie’s place at the piano and starts playing scales). Annie: Ah—Oh—Ah—(Makes a pitiful failure of singing). (Both stop and face each other). Annie: Oh, it’s gone—my voice. Mr. Massy: Here, none of that; it can’t be—you’re nervous; you’re tired; it will come back. (Hits his fist on the piano with a crash). Annie: No, I know now that it's gone for good. It’s no use, not after those awful colds I’ve been having for three winters now. It’s no use—I’ve believed it’s been gone for a long time. (Sinks into a chair). (Silence broken by the clock striking). Annie, (Jumping up): You must excuse me now, for I must go and see that they have not given the school to some one else; then I must arrange for choir practice tomorrow night. Ye Modern C. I. A.

Jewel Rattan. A Man and a Maid CAST OF CHARACTERS A Maid. A Man. Scene 1. Place: Livingroom of a home. Curtain rises on Maid standing haughtily in center of room and Man, hat in hand, by the door. Man: Is this the end? Maid: It is. Man: Goodbye. (Goes out closing the door after him). Maid: (Starting impulsively toward the door): Gone! Why did I let him! Oh! (Drawing herself up and stamping her foot). But I hate him! He’s a brute! I’m glad its over. We could never agree. I, frivolous, impractical! How dared he lecture me. If he wants a cook let him find one. But—(the clock strikes ten) — only ten and last evening it was—I’ll not think of it. I don’t care—I won’t care! (A pause ensues in wh-ich she surveys her white hands which are bare of rings). Could these fingers knead bread— Scene 2. Time: The following morning. Scene: Kitchen. Dumb Show: Maid clad in gingham apron with hair screwed up on top of her head and face besmudged with flour works determinedly with a pile of sticky dough. There are tearstains on her cheeks. She stops a moment in despair then squares her shoulders and resumes the struggle. Scene 3. Time: An hour later. Scene: Same as Scene 1. As curtain rises doorbell rings repeatedly and Maid enters wiping hands on her apron. She opens the door and Man enters with a long box under his arm. Man: Pardon me—er—could I see—You—(drops box and roses tumble out). Forgive me, can you? I was mad to say what I did last night.. I don’t care if you never cook a blamed thing! Tell me you don’t hate me! Maid: I couldn’t. I tried to though. (Her face is lost to view on his shoulder). (Smoke pours in from the kitchen). Maid: (Raising her head): Oh! My bread is burning! Man: Bread be damned! I want a wife! Lennie Hallman, ’17. A Reconciliation (A Play In One Act) THE CHARACTERS Irene: The wife. Rosco: The husband. Mother-in-law. (Husband with hat in hand starts toward the door). Irene, (Crying): I don’t see how you can be so cruel, when I want to go so bad. You said when we were married that you loved me and yet you want to rule me in everything. Oh! If mother were only here. She never crossed me in anything. Rosco: Yes, that is it Irene, you have been spoiled all your life and it is time now, that you should wake up and realize what a mistake your mother has made. Irene: I don’t see how you can talk that way. You are a mean hard-hearted man and I hate you. I am going where I please. Rosco: Irene do not speak that way, you don’t know how it hurts me. Of course I love you more than anything else in the world. It is only that I want you to do what I know is best. Irene: You do not love me or you would let me have my own way. I shall go home to mother today; she will understand. Rosco: Very well Irene, I shall not prevent you from having your way in that. Of course I could not refuse you a visit to your mother, but I do hope you will wait until your anger has calmed before you go. (Husband leaves). (Wife puts on hat quickly, picks up hand bag and starts for the door, when the mother-in-law enters). Mother-in-Law: What! Are you going out? Oh! but I know, dear, I can tell from your face that you have been crying, and that something terrible is the matter. Besides, I met Rosco a few moments ago on the street and he looked as crabby as an old bear. I know that you have been quarreling and he has been mistreating you. He is a mean old brute and I would not stand him any longer. You shall go straight home with me. Irene: Why, mother, how can you talk about Rosco that way to me. You know that he isn’t anything of the kind. Mother-in-Law: He is a brute. He is a tyrant and tries to cross you in every- thing. You know that I never crossed you in anything in all of my life, and to think that he should always expect you to obey him. Irene: Why, mother, it is just because he loves me, that he wants me to do what he thinks is right. He is a dear, and 1 won’t let you say another mean thing about him, and I am going to stay right here with him. (Husband enters). Rosco: Irene I had to come back. I just could not stand it any longer. You will for— Irene: Oh! Rosco! You went off and forgot your umbrella and I have been so miserable for fear you would get wet. Mother has come over to take dinner with us tonight. Isn’t that lovely? Mame Edwards, ’17. Just to Flunk What a little thing it is, Just to flunk. You can do it in a whiz, Just to flunk. Grades—You lacked it five or ten, What a little thing it is, Just to flunk. Doesn’t matter what it is, Still you flunk. Still you flunk. Just a question, maybe two, Think you simply hurried through, Thought you came out fine, ’tis true; But you flunked. Oh! You worked with all your might, Yet you flunk. And you worried all the night, Yet you flunk. Yes, you’re all up in the air, For you’ve not been treated fair, For it really isn’t right, Yet you flunk.
