What wonder that my heart's aglow, As now In dreams I see her go With ah- so modest, looks so sweet, A-down that well remembered street? Of all falr maids the world doth know, The maid in cap and gown, I trow, ls fairer far than all the rest- Of all the maids I love her best. She walks with sweet, seholastlc air, Her robe blows lightly here and there, I-ler cap close nestles 'galnst har halr, Can earth show anything more fair? Seelng her dainty wltchlng grace, I envy the tassel against her face: And as she walks a-down the street, I envy the stones beneath her feet. Ah, sweetest maid the world doth know, I! I adore and tell thee ao, Wilt thou my happiness complete, Or crush my hopes ln dire defeat? Ah, sweetest maid the world can show, I pray thee do not answer No 5 You maid with whom none can compare In sweetness and in beauty rare- You maid In cap and gown! R.

The first word she ever spoke was Aykay. From infancy she has been a songstress, having sung perfectly Bach's most difficult sonata, Angel's Serenade, at the age of three. She has sung before every audience in Europe and America. By much experience she has become proficient in the art of teach- ing and candy making. DICKENSON, Lucy- spent her childhood in the great city of Marion, Va. Here she had every advan- tage which a lunatic asylum, court house and public school could afford. She was always fond of the classics, and often burned the midnight oil reading A Mad Lover, or Won by Love. Having completed her studies at home she went abroad to Vassar College, and is now one of the noted faculty of V. I. FINDLAY, ALEXANDER- 'was born at the junction of the Nile and Amazon Rivers. The mountain scenery of his childhood fostered in a marked degree his innate talent for the fiddle. After many years in Berlin under the great masters, this Apollo comes at last to abide under V. I.'s sheltering oak. HENDERSON, JoHN THOMPSON- was bom in the dark ages. The exact year of his birth is unknown. He may be younger than he looks or older than he seems. He has amassed a large for- tune by selling his raven curls to the Hair Mattress Company. He is a great patriot and fought bravely for the stars and stripes in the War of the Roses. He is very fond of iiowers, especially the Calla lily. JONES, Hoxmca LEONARD- was born in I7-. He is a poet, teacher, ladies man, and, as a soloist there is not his equal in America. But perhaps, he is best known to the world as a rat killer. Often in the Stilly Night he has been known to relieve his tortured neighbors of these troublesome animals. He is very fond of travel and has visited every nook and comer of Mississippi. JoHNSoN, MARION- was bom in North Carolina. But her youth was spent in Johnson City, Ten- nessee. She is a very decided old maid, not caring for society in the least. She may some day, however, overcome this strong aversion to society's charms. At present she is giving music lessons to Dr. Schemmel in Virginia Institute. KNox, JAMIE- was born in Arkansas. She and her brother, the Arkansas Traveler, made their debut as public readers in New York when she was ten years of age. Here she charmed the literary world, and her fame was secure. She is of a romantic nature and is a noted teacher of Physical Culture. She has discovered that gratitude is a much neglected virtue. MCCORMICK, KATHERINE- is a Virginian, and of the royal house of McCormick. She is a Bostonian in appearance. and an elocutionist at heart. Her aim and ambition is to see a gay time. She has committed suicide twice for the sake of society. She is not fond of good literature, but dotes on Brown- ing and Spencer and other such modern writers. PROPER, IDA- a Southern beauty, was born north of the Mason and Dixon line. She is very slow in all her movements and is sadly lacking in energy. She teaches art, but is not very artistic. She will not copy any of the sublime pictures found in the advertisements of our papers, but only paints from nature. SANDERS, NORA- - a musician and composer. At the age of eight she composed a piece so difficult that no one could play it. Her greatest desire is to become president of Vassar College. She is very fond of moonlight, brown eyes, and having her picture made. SCHEMMEL, HERR AUGUST- was born in a remote corner of the world called Germany. He is a musician, and, growing tired of the western and eastem hemispheres, he came to the United States to make his fortune for the sake of his health. He has visited all parts of the world except the moon. He speaks in three languages at once. SCH EMMEL, RosA- is a pianist. She has made one startling discovery that has made her famous, and that is all girls like cake better than they like scales. She is very fond of pet cats. Scnnoamsn, MARIE- was born in Germany. She is a doctor, but has not been able to find a cure for homesickness. But by many threats she is able to control her unruly charges. S1-OKELY, Jessie MAE- was born in Tennessee. She is very fond of travel and her interesting lectures and books thereon are very instructive. She has visited the city of Richmond, Va., and the capitol of Tennessee. She is thinking seriously of becoming a I-Iome Missionary. WxNs'roN, GEORGE- was born in 1711. From youth he has been a man of botany and acquainted with bugs. He knows every living tree and walking plant no matter where he meets them. He is very fond of kings and queens, Queen Elizabeth being -his favorite queen. WINSTON, SUE HAMNER- is a Virginian. She first became known to the world as a teacher of languages in Heidelberg University. She made the famous tour of the world in eighty days. While on the shores of the Red Sea she discovered the chariot of Pharaoh and had it brought to America as a souvenir. Qllann Gbrganizaiinnz M L, ,X 'V ,f7:39i74g+ M, f I s fl!

SCHEMMEL i'l'hough modest, on his unemharrassed brow Nature had written Gentleman, And in his heart and brain, had fixed A joy in all things true and good, And in his soul had planted Music's immortal harmonies And for all these his pupils give him love CERTIFICATE CLASS must: .-.i.- V USICI what sweet memories the very word brings to the mind of every student at V. I. There comes to the ear the melodious tones of thirty pianos, while many voices join in and make the whole air ring with the lovely chorusg and mingling with these come the tones of the violin merrily carrying its part. On hearing these enchanting sounds, the question arises, What master hand produces such music as this ? Ask any music student at V. I. and she will say it is Dr. Schemmel who with magic hand not only takes the instrument him- self and by a few strokes produces the most pleasing harmony, but takes the stiff fingers and discordant minds of hundreds of girls, in course of time making all hands nimble and changing all discords into the most delightful harmony. It is he who with his never failing patience, has a pleasant smile for everybody and a word of encouragement for each pupil. Side by side with him comes his dear wife. At the mention of her name there comes the picture of a dear little creature who was never known to frown Cexcept when- you are late to practicej., who meets everybody feven that darling catj, with dearie and who has the utmost power over her pupils, so great that she can even make them count. From Mrs. Schemmel our mind turns to Mack, or rather Miss Johnson. Though a Senior last year, she has found it rather diflicult .tri put on the stern and dignified aspect of a teacher, and has by no means her liking to go down town. However, she is beloved by all and has accomplished the awful task of starting students in music with remarkable facility. But whence come the many voices which till the air with sweet song? For this portion of the music all are in debt partly to Dr. Schemmel and partly to Miss Byme who are always ready to lend their pupils for the entertainment of others. All her pupils will go home with Miss Byrne's praises on their lips, Miss Byme's love in their hearts, and by songs will bear witness of her ability as a teacher. . I5 4 M But is this all the music that comes from Virginia Institute? No, the violin has a voice in the great concord of sound. The Art Class might say that every Thursday they hear some very melodiousitones piercing the art hall above. However, it must be remembered, these are the Tefforts of pupils beginning, who under the splendid training of Prof. Findley some day will make fine musi- cians. ,H , 4' W Under these teachers with Dr. 'Schernrnel as general director there are two hundred pupils, one hundred and fourteen of whom are trying to become great pianists, forty-seven intend by their voices to fill the world with music, thirty- six, not satisfied with playing other people's music, are studying harmony, while three pupils are trying their best to make their uscreaking violins sound like Prof. Findley's. P When all these pupils with the ability acquired under these excellent teachers shallihave scattered out, it will indeed be as if all the pianos, voices, and violins had joined together in a world-chorus of V. I. music. Q VZ, gb? '.. .ei555di 5353fo X Y' , si '12 :QP ,ng W pw' 5.1. W eq.. sa ee'-me .fs X,-1 as iv-ix ,f, ir' 0 p' N N ,K '4 wi., ag . T .. 22- L, 993 ' Ni3?,g,2Q: A x6 4- 2.5 J. .

SPENSER Erhnrn Jlirnm Uhr Nighfa Flutnnian Shure Enter Titania. I'll ne'er forgive that varlet, William Shakespeare, For holding me to scorn 'fore all the worldg He knew 'twas but a dream, that I did love An ass, a human form with ass's head, Yet knowing this, in play as he doth claim, He holds me up with such a show of truth That all the world doth link my name, Titania, With that of Bottom, creature vile past all Endurance. Yet in this I find some comfort, That in these latter days, The Dream hath been Somewhat o'erlooked by th' world of men,'and if 'llhis thing abide, I trust I may regain My ol'd-time glory as the Queen of Fairylandf' Enter Hermia and Perdita. But soft: Methinks I know these maids approaching. Hermia: Dost thou remember, my Perdita., how In times long past, llirtation had with one Demetrius, much loved of Helena, A jade for whom I cherished no great love? Lysander was my Hame and those two youths Did love the very ground I trod upon. - Perdita: But not so much as Florizel, my love ' 4' ' Hermia: Oh fudge! because thy love wast born a prince, Thou deemest there is none other like him. But don't let's fuss. Perdita: Thou art the only one. Hermia: Well, be still and let me have my say, And I'll not quarrel. Hast thou not heard' What William Shakespeare told the world of me? He seemed to have a liking for that Helena, So took my lovers both from me and gave them unto her, T9 99 Declar'd her washe'd-out eyes as bright as mine, And with such words, didst hold me up to scorn. Perdita: Why William Shakespeare, he di'd speak the truth of me Save that he gave me beauty such as I ne'er had. Hermia: 'Tis true indeed, for he was partial ever. Titania Cadvancingjz 'Tis said that misery loves company, And I could add my tears to yours, sweet maid. From you he lovers took, but worse, far worse, He made me love an ass. Hermia Caside to Perditajz And this is true. CAloudJ : My gentle queen, you much astonish me. But worse is yet to come. Titania: What worse? Impossible. Hermia: What can be worse, dear Queen, than having falsehood Of one told, and then to be enacted, By girls who dearly love a bit of gossip, And have not wit to know that Shakespeare never Did tell the truth. Titania: Who's 'been enacting us? Hermia.: The Elocution Class 4' 'l' ' Perdita: What's elocution ? Titania: Oh, thou poor, unsophisticated maid! Indeed, I've suffered full as much from it As from the lies of that man Shakespeare. Hermia: And I,- But on that point, 'dear Queen, he once spake truth. . Did not our sweet prince Hamlet. to the players say,- 'Nor do not saw the air too much with your hand, for in the very whirlwind of your passion, you must beget a temperance, that will give it smoothness. Be not too tame neither, but suit the action to the word, and the word to the action. Now this overdone, though it make the unskilful laugh, can not but make the judicious grieve: the censure of which one, must o'erweigh a whole theatre of others.' Titania: Oh yes, I do remember, yet the words Of one, a new light in the world of letters, George Madden Martin is the name, smack much of truth Who says to elocutionists, 'to suit The action to the word,' this meaning bears, That action is but gesture and that gesture 20 ff! -nu Doth signify 'great sweeps and circles of the arm Hermia: Tis true, 'tis pity, and pity 'tis, 'tis true, And Oh, dear land, how it doth weary me, I'd rather far be killed outright than forced To suffer at the hands of such. b Yet this doth not concern the story I would tell, Which is but this. The Elocution Class, CYour wonder satisfied, Perdita, I trust You'll interrupt no more, a second Rosalindj Of one Virginia Institue, a school Of much renown, 'did in the year just past Enact the play o' Midsummer N ight's Dream, In which the man, this saucy William Shakespeare, Did forever fix us all. Perdita: Oh no,- For he did place me with my Florizel In Winter's Tale. Hermia: What matter is't indeed, For they do play those last two acts, in which You both appear, this very year 3 And then you'll understand what 'tis to be Forever talked about and gossipped of By giggling, foolish girls. Indeed The very prettiest speeches that I ever made They cut an'd cut until it 'scarce was recognizable by whom it left. For weeks and weeks, my Queen, our names and deeds Were brandished here and there on every tongue, Until my very brain did reel. Titania: And did they all believe those lies of you and me ? Perdita: And will I thus with my sweet F lorizel Be gossiped of? I can't endure such butting in On my affairs, by those who have no right. Enter Paulina and Puck. Paulina: Be still, you foolish child, Hermia, And you, my gentle Queen. Sweet Puck Invisible, hath heard you talk and told Of these your fancied woes. They are But fancied, for I know of surety That while your names were tossed here and there, a 21 .Ni U94 , ' M 'Wt As ours will doubtless be 'fore very long, That it was done in kindness, and I hear From those who know, with such a sense of truth That they did seem to live, not act the parts. Hermia: Oh fiddlesticksl 'tis not in elocution So to do. Besides I know they set Me forth as most cantankerous and mean, Nor gave me half the beauty I am dowered with. Puck: Oh Lord! What fools these jealous women be. Paulina: Ay Hermia, for thou wast jealous ever. I pray thee lay aside thy bitterness. And it would seem that they did feel more warmly Unto you than unto us, for you belong To Midsummer Night's Dream, while we to Winter's Tale. And as neither one 'nor other doth appear A Comedy of Errors to approach, Then surely All is Well that Ends Well. ' ' 11+ ii ,,,,.:, M1 ff iaiff Bramatin Feranuar uf mthmmuun' Night's Hman -ll...

Let'us in, we softly whispered, Let us in your chamber door. Only this and nothing more. Soon as all were safe together we debated as to whether Feast we 'd spread on bed or floor-which were quicker covered o'er. One fair Daniel come to judgment said we knew well what a smudge meant If we got it on the drugget, -drugget down upon the floor. So we voted for the bed then. That's the best place for a spread when You can't have it on the floor. Feast we had from Mount Olympic. jove!

What girl would not leave her slumber To partake of such a rarebit, sardines, olives by the score? Cakes had we also, and candy. O, it was so very grand a Feast, with anecdote galore. 27 9 A Thus as we were deeply in it, suddenly a pause, as when it Seems you hear a. sound full fearsome, sound you truly do deplore. In this pause there came a tapping, and we knew it was a rapping. Rapping that was so persistent, tapping that was insistent Well we knew 'twas trouble bringing, clinging to us as before, Huddled there upon the floor. Swift as spirits disappearing, hoping, but still often fearing, We bestowed things in a hurry-CWe had hurried oft beforej.

Then to bed we went all creeping, with a good pretense at sleeping, Even to a gentle snore. Still we heard that gentle knocking.

I. a place of ideal beauty. First the Lott ought to be enclosed by a strong wall, and the Gates fastened firmly so that no Stoner would be able to crush them by hard Knox, and no cow to enter un-Trammell-ed, nor devastating fire Burnett. Over the Gates beautiful clinging Ivey mightlfbe trained, so that any passers-by, whether it be one lone wanderer or a Robinson's circus parade, would not fail to be at- tracted by the vine. A French Rose over the arch would welcome our Queen as she returns from her daily walk accompanied by the Princess. Some Hardy trees planted by the wall would add much to the beauty of the place. These trees would not be used to Lynch on, but under their shade any one, whether it be Chap- or -man, might rest from the sun's sweltering rays. Let neither the Smith nor the Taylor, but the Farmer, whose 'duty it is, attend to the planting of these. Yet we who love fruit well, with our hands, plant a Crabtree, an Olive tree, and a Hazel tree, and he who Hughes these down will gain the contempt of the Goode. In the Dell where the Young like to stroll, a summer house covered with the ram- bling Myrtle vine, which is without a Thorne, never Stiff, and which the Fickle winds love to caress, should be built. A great addition to the campus would be a lake at the foot of the hill, with a fountain in the center, and little Brooks, whose scintillating waters would be as bright as the Rubye, or, by the moonlight, as soft as the Pearl, where Daphne would weave her magic web around the Swann swimming on the pond. Around the sturdy oaks, which no Powers can uproot, might be trained the Virginia creeper. The- Proper thing to do, in order that tl1e campus may become ideally beautiful, is to clear off the Courts and remove the Mills which have proved a great nuisanceto all, including Mrs. Swann And- 'er-son. If these improvements are made and our campus Gaines in beauty, by next May it will be the Champion campus of the South, worthy of an ode from Horace, and the sublimest' of arias from Dr. Schemmell M.. 30 l .-., - 1 33. if R, MA'l l'll4l tloIINsoN BESSIE WII.I.IAMs BARBARA REvNoLIIs IlARRIE'I' RI-:x'N0I.IIs NANNIE LYNCII MINNIIE FRENCII DELLA YOUNI: LOUISE WRIGIII' ELLA GREEK LUTIE IIUGI-IES MARGARET LARUE PEARL IQARNES PAULINE IQARNES NIAGGIE S1'INsoN f Ill I no Q W Q .lU b I ! -.1 y f I F.,-psf.: 'rf EIINA EARLE LYLE .... ...... l ,l'l'A'f1ll'lIf CLARA ARNOLII LPAINES. ..l'1'I'v l,ft'SI'l!t'lIf EULA AICGIIEE ......

Gbrigin nf the white Hinlrt ...- ..1 In a secluded spot on the campus penetrated by the rays of the morning sun, but sheltered from the scorching heat of the afternoon by the protecting walls of the college building, there grew a bed of violets, sweet English violets. William of Orange had brought the first stalk to America many years ago. Their rare sweetness they had acquired through successive states of culture, for long ago when they ran riot over hill and dale in England and Scotland, their perfume was scarcely to be distinguished from the fragrance of all leaves and grasses. One day a great rank weed appeared among the violets. It reared its head aloft and finally a coarse Hower blossomed forth, blue in color, but so obnoxious that all birds and bees shunned it, though to the lesser birds the stalk was as a tree for size. It then fiaunted itself in the wind, saying, Look at me, you flowers and grasses, how large and grand I am, and then look at these poor simple violets. When I am as old as they I will be taller than the oak tree. For it was all ignorant that no suddenly acquired wealth of height or display could atone for its lack of the sweetness which had come to the violets through the slow transformation of clods and rain in the delight and fulness of a summer. What it knew not of, it could not 'desire. The violets said never a word, but in their own quiet way shed their sweet- ness abroad, smiling serenely upon the world and each other. Now the world seemed to love the violets better, bestowing upon them favors and pleasant words, so that at last the day of awakening came to the weed and it said, Now 35 am I wretched indeed! No one loves me, none admires meg no birds rest their nests against me, though they allix themselves to supports less sureg around my stalk the very violets themselves are dying as though of a pestilence. It would have been better if I had not lived. So from very shame its rank leaves and petals drooped, falling away one by one, and when the stalk had withered until one could not say where the place of the weed had been, there sprang up a white violet, most beautiful and sweet, in as much as it had drunk deep of the moisture and richness of that spot.

What thoughts, what memories, what inspirations rise at the mention of that name! q On the evening Of November 22d, 1884, when the Southwest Virginia Institute, as it was then called, was located at Glade Springs, a few girls met to form a literary society. It was named in honor of the founder of the school, Rev. J. R. Harrison, and while weak at first it grew and widened its scope until to-day it exerts that magic influence which can only be the outgrowth of harmoni- ous and earnest action. 44 YW. -, 2 A, . gpg!!! A' if, I For several years the Harrisonian reigned supreme, but after the removal of the school to Bristol, Va.-Tenn., the members of the Society co-operated with the Faculty in the formation of a new body, thinking it better for the promotion of the literary spirit in the school. Thisvnew society was named the Eohne. . I f . It has grown in strength and membership until now it is a worthy riva o its mother. The first step was made towards the establishment of a library in January, 1885, Miss Mary Smith donating the First voltune. During the past year the Society has been doing a high grade of work. Its members have studied successively the lives and works of Lanier, Timrod, Poe, Lowell, Keats, Tennyson, George Eliot, C ' ' Chopin, Schumann, and others. One of our programs of the past year was: hristina Rosetti, and the musicians, An Earning with Enmrll mth Cihnpin Piano Solo, Mazurka in B Hat .... . . . . . .. ....

Poe through his dissipation and lack of moral stamina m-ade cloudy days which to him m-ight otherwise have been bright. But Timrod and Lanier so lived that of each it might fitly be said:- His song was only a living aloud, his work a singing with his hands. While an atmosphere of culture surrounded the lives of all three, Timrod and Lanier had the additional stimulus of noble ancestry. Poe died before the time of the South's great sorrow g Timrod and Lanier lived in it, bore the brunt of the battles, received from it their legacy of poverty and consumption. In diversity of mental gifts, Lanier was abundantly favored of the gods. Born at Macon, Ga., February 3'd, I842, 'after completing his education at the University of Virginia and spending five years in the practice of law in obedience to his father's wishes, an impelling force within sent him to Baltimore in 1873 with, as some one has said, his flute and pen as sword and staff. There he de- veloped his triune personality of teacher, musician, and poet. In Baltimore he threw himself eagerly into the study of Anglo-Saxon and modern English Liter- ature, the outgrowth of which was a series of lectures delivered first to private classes, then to the students of literature in johns Hopkins University. Thor- oughly persua'ded of the uplifting power of knowledge, he, with the same eager- ness with which he had sought knowledge, imparted it to others. This was the key note of his teaching. His work at Johns Hopkins was almost tragic in the never ending struggle between decaying vitality and increasing purpose of mind. We are told that those who heard him lecture listened with a sort of fascinated terror, fearing that the hoarded breath would not last until the end of the hour. Lanier's ability as a musician 'developed early in life for he tells us that before he could read he could play on several different instruments. So intense was his passion for music that after the rendering of some beautiful composition he was 46 a often carried out of himself into a sort of trance-like state by the beauty and ' ' l evented the thought of the work. His father's antipathy to a musica career pr develo ment of his musical talent, yet, in Baltimore we find him playing first P flute in the Peabody Symphony Concerts, where no less a man than Asger ' ' ' T him as a child in his Hamerick, the director of the Concerts, says of him. o cradle music was given, the heavenly gift, to feel and express himself in tones. It was indeed irresistable that he should turn with those poetical feelings which ' f h fl t the infinite pas transcend language to the penetrating gentleness o t e u e or - sion of the violin. In his hands the Hute no longer remained a mere material instrument, but was transformed into a voice which set heavenly harmonies into ' ll learned and unlearned 5 vibration. His playing appealed alike to the musica y he would magnetize the listener. I will never forget the impression he made on 1 d th flute concerto of Emil Hartmann at a Peabody Symphony me when he p aye e Concert' his tall handsome, manly presence, his flute breathing noble sorrows, d. noble joysg the ,orchestra softly responding. The audience wa.s spell-boun He st00d the master, the genius. It is as a poet, however, that Lanier shines brightest and some one has said of him that he will eventually take his rank among the first princes of American song. He has been called the Poet of the Trees. Trees and all living plants to him were things not inanimate, but closely connected with an all-loving Cre- ator, unconscious interpreters of God. fi to ain the recognition of critics was Corn, which is still His rst poem g considered by some his best. The study which he had given to English verse and which resulted in the volume entitle'd Science of English Verse, is plainly shown in his work, his poetical form being more perfect than that of any other ' r ' th h ht. While the writer of his day, yet, never was the form subservient to e t oug fame of Poe is much greater than that of Lanier, nevertheless, scholars of the present day are beginning to recognize the truth of Lan1er's criticism of Poe ' ' ' h b t ul said that when he said, Poe did not know enough to write. It as een r y to Poe truth and goodness were incidental and unimportant elements in artg to Lanier, they were the very breath of its life. As teacher, musician, and poet, B th faith of Lanier was constantly thwarted by poverty and 'disease, yet, y e one heart which fully believed in his genius, an'd was willing to wait if only he could find his opportunity, his courage never failed. In the fall of '80 his death struggle, which lasted nearly a year, practically be an, yet, he lived through the winter and in the spring sought the mountains 8' of North Carolina with the hope of being restored to health. Throughout the ' ' f N th summer of '81 he kept the wolf from the door by writing sketches o or Carolina scenery, but in the words of his wife, On the forenoon of September 47 falls the frost and that unfaltering will renders its supreme submission to the adored will of God. Hiram Carson in f,is.,wgfk,bn Browning says, So temporal are all the world's standards in the best of tirnes that spiritual regenerators are not generally recognized until long after they have passed away, when the results of what they did are fully ripe. Only reapers, reaping early In among the bearded barley, Hear a song that echoes cheerily From the river winding clearly, Down to towered Camelot. And by the moon the reaper weary, Piling sheaves in uplands airy Listening, whispers, 'Tis the fairy Lady of Shalott. And may it not be that we afar down the river of years catch more clearly the echoes of Lanier's songs than those who lived and worked around him? p c. A.

A ir Zilhr Gininrg nf up Enltne Snrietg After consulting Sense and Nonsense, which on'its part had consulted En- cyclopedias and Ancient Histories, I find that no such an organization as the Eoline Literary Society existed in Ancient times, but the year 1894 ushered in this organization whose sustained force of life was destined to make it one of the strongest exponents of V. I. V' 1 The name Eoline was given the Societyi'it1 loving remembrance of little Eoline Jones and to express the deep sympathy of the students of V. I. for the former President of the College fMr. Samuel D. Jonesj and his 'wife in the death of their beautiful and promising daughter. The object of the Society is well defined in the By-laws and Constitution adopted in 1894-- For mutual improvement in Music, Elocution, Composition and Debateg'to seek for truth, and contribute to the social enjoyment of school life. These laudable purposes of the founders we have remembered and have ever had before us. All who have been so fortunate as to become members since the organization in 1894 stand before the world as a proof of the elevating and uplifting work the Society has done in its short and eventful career. Three'hundred and five have cast their lot with us since the year 1894 and as many still wear -the badge of loyal Eolines in their hearts, wherever duty may have called themf since they bade adieu to the school and Society of their choice. Sixty of this number make the roll for this year. i Some veryinteresting programmes have been given the past year and they have been marked by conscientious individual effort and by a rare loftiness of tone. A The twelve years we have labored an'd lived together as a' Society have not been without cares and vicissitudes, experiences which a noble body has to over- come before it can fully develop its strength, yet these years have been full of happy exploits and happy endings. 4 Our hall in which we have a meeting every Saturday evening is one of the most beautiful and best equipped in the South. The furnishings are in keeping with the beauty and tasteof the Eoline spirit. Last year many volumes were added to our library through the instrumentality of honorary members of the Society. Not only are our members bound together by ties of love and a common cause, while in school,-but for a life time. No matter by what conditions we may be separated, when we meet an Eoline we meet a friend. , 49 ,,' t, Q an .- flllripa Ellrnm the flblh Cllhrrrg Urn CRead at a Meeting. of the Eoline Society.J It was the eve of George Washington's birthday. All day long I had been in a state of excitement. I had attended a banquet where the table was decorated with a cherry tree and hatchets. So that night I 'dreamed a queer dream. In my dream I went back a century and seemed to live in the days of Wash- ington's childhood. At times I felt that I was little George himself, and I could see plainly the little hatchet my father had given me as a present charging me not to cut anything valuable. All disobedient to my father's wishes, I went out into the orchard. There were many trees there, but all too large for my hatchet, except one little cherry tree which was my father's special pride. For a long time I hesitated but it seemed that I could not resist, and before I realized it I had brought down my little weapon and hacked a chip off that cherry tree. I was beginning to repent of what I had done when I looked down, and behold, the tiny chip was transformed into a piece of paper before me. I eagerly picked it up and read the following: W is for Washington, our statesman so great, Whose birthday, to-night we now celebrate. A is for Anna, our senior so stately Who pours out big words and walks quite sedately. 5 is for Shroeder, our matron so dear Who never is wanted except when not here. H is for Hattie, so modest and bright, For Harrisonians, too, whom we welcome to-night. I is for Ivey filled with such grace, Whose charm of manner naught can etface. N is for our nation, the grandest on earth, Which we all dearly love as the land of our birth. Q is for our guests whom we have here to-night To entertain you is our greatest delight. 1' is for our tears we sometimes shed When long examinations hang over our heads. . O is for oysters, an article rare, But at Washington's banquet they are sure to be there. N is for nobody, and nothing much, As journals, acrostics, dreams, and all such. 50 Q . . W t My first stroke having succeeded so well I forgot all about my father's anger and my disobedience and soon had hacked off a larger chip. I succeeded as well with it as I had with the former, for immediately a large paper appeared labeled Jokes: - , Mayme Gorman had just reached St. Louis and not being accustomed to the city was very much excited over the large crowds. She did not know a soul there, but on seeing a funeral procession pass, turned to a friend and said, Wonder who's dead ? Edyth to Lidie: Ohl Lidie, I'm going up to Abingdon to-night to hear the V. P. I. Glee Club. Lidie finnocentlyj: Glee Club? What's that? Anna, to Dr. Henderson, giving the long measure table: Well, where does the furlough come in P Dr. Schemmel: Miss Anderson, give me the scale of E flat. Myrta: Oh-how many sharps has that P One of the girls while talking to Miss S-- the other day remarked that people used to begin letters by saying, I take my pen in hand, but now they say, I take my typewriter in my lap. Miss S---, indignantly: No one ever took me in his lap. ' I gave my wonderful cherry tree another hack. The product this time was a new version of the proverbs. The wise girl foreseeth the evil and hideth herself Cbehind the curtainj but the foolish sit still and are punished fby Miss Schroederj. And furthermore, by these, my daughter, be admonished, of working prob- lems there is 'no en'd, and much study is a weariness of the flesh. Better is a violet with the fear of Mrs. Winston than a jimson weed with all the fun in the world. A stone is heavy and the sand weighty, but the wrath of the faculty is heavier than them both. The fear of the faculty is as a roaring liong whosoever provoketh it to anger wareth against his own interest, and taketh his 'name off the Honor Roll. I was so eager to see what would come next, I came down with such force on the tree that two chips fell to the ground and were transformed as before. On the first was this: Pretty Girl Papers. Wash your hair every Monday. Go to every girl on your floor to borrow borax, but be sure to use your own brush after the shampoo. Take a good warm bath just before retiring. The best time is after the last flash as there is an abundance of warm water then. Exercise in the gym freely Tuesdays and Fridays after dinner. 51 Down came my hatchet again, on another chip was 1 V . X Eat no more than one box of potted ham at a midnight feast, if you want a pretty complexion. Refrain from syrup at luncheon. D not accept more than three boxes of candy a week from your friend At the top of the other paper was written: TWO VERSIONS OF LATE SONGS! Good-bye, dear V. I., good-bye, We sigh, dear V. I., we sigh, For tho' we hate to leave you, dear, We are going for our vacation We 'll smile, dear V. I., we '11 smile, For, V. I., its just for a while, In our own uniforms of black We will soon be marching back, Goodbye, dear V. L, goodbye. In the shade of the old cherry tree George Washington happened to be, With his hatchet all bright- Not a soul was in sight- He was sure not a creature would see. So he cut down that old, cherry tree Cut it down just as close as could beg When his father appeared Poor George was so seared, 'Twas not done by me, Ile said. Those rising bells, those rising bells, How many a tale their music tells, Of sighs and tears and awful groans, She kicks and tumbles as she moans, That old bell!! Oh, fiddlestieksl I fcel so bad, I believe I 'm sick. I wonder what Miss Shroedered'd say If I should stay in bed to-day. Well, she might 'take me off,' so I guess I 'd better rise and try to dress. But, oh! I 'll take just one snooze more And soon there comes a gentle snore, A gentle snore that plainly tells, She hears no more those rising bells. 52 Wfltten Those breakfast bells. those breakfast bells, How many a tale their music tells Of frightened cries, of upward jumps Of open eyes and eager hunts For ribbons, collars, stockings, shoes- I 'm paying for that one more snooze. Mercy, hurry, tie my hair, Give me a pin! that's it-there, Take this, and hand my clothes. She puts them on and away she goes, Muttering, Why didn't I get up the time When last I heard their soothing chimes? By this time I had chipped and chipped until the tree was almost gone, but I decided to try once more, so down I came with my hatchet, but to my great disappointment the tree fell to the ground. There I stood with the hatchet in my hand, the chips no longer transformed, but lying on the ground and my father's precious tree before me. I was just repenting of what I had done and trying to think of some means of escape when I heard my father coming to the orchard. I hid the hatchet behind my back, and stood looking as innocent as pos- 'bl H l d first at me and then at the fallen tree George, he said, si e. e gance . looking sternly at me, Who cut down that cherry tree? Well, said I, I don't know, but I know I didn't do it. The moment I told this lie I ceased to be George Washington, for he could not tell a lie. I awoke and realized that it was only a dream. ' K.

This great natural wonder is not surpassed by the far-famed caves of Luray and is considered by many grander in its picturesque beauty than the Natural Bridge. The Virginia and South-western Railway furnishes a passage to this delight- ful retreat from Bristol which is a center for a region noted for its natural beauty and in time may attract visitors as do the Yosemite, the Niagara, the magnificent heights of the White Plains, or the Mammoth Cave. Each year the Institute charters a special train for a festive day at the tunnel. The great wonder of the excursion is reached by passing through a small artificial tunnel. This was cut through the solid rock by the South Atlantic and Ohio Railroad back in the eighties, in order that the trains might enter the mouth of the tunnel. Between the little artificial tunnel and the great Natural Wonder the walls form an amphitheatre which can not be surpassed by those of the ancient Greeks and Romans. One hundred feet west of the artificial tunnel, within the amphitheatre and shadowed by the east entrance of the Natural Tunnel, is a dancing pavilion. This is situated on the side of the railroad back over the little stream called Stock Creek which flows from a solid rock on through the dark cavern down to Clinch River. A The walls of the amphitheatre are solid rock rising perpendicularly three hundred and twenty feet above in all their beauty, sublimity and grandeur. Hang- ing over the edge and clinging to the sides of the mass of solid stone are ferns, wild flowers and lovely trees which in the autumn look like gold. Before entering the Natural Tunnel, one looks to the north of the amphi- theatre where tower aloft high peaks of rock. Iutting out and rising weirdly above the sides of the amphitheatre are two marble shafts and between these are two great rocks entwining each other. This is Lover's Leap. There is a legend that two lovers once climbed these peaks and with arms entwined and the vow, Not even death doth us part, leaped down into the depths some three hun'dred and thirty feet below. It is from seventy-five to eighty feet high and about ninety feet wide at the base. Through this the trains pass. The railroad rises some distance above 55 The entrance of the Natural Tunnel is a great stone arch curving inward., the stream which runs on either side of the track. There are two arches for a short distance within the tunnel, about two hundred feet from the west entrance, the creek running through one, the railroad through the other. Near the center of the tunnel a cave exten'ds back into the wall of solid rock and in this the watchman who remains there day and night makes his home. The length of the tunnel from east entrance to west entrance is nine hundred feet and it curves in the shape of an S . On emerging on the west, immense cliffs loom before you. Above the land lies level and a public road passes over the tunnel. To the northwest is another of the attractions of this wonderful place, the cavern. One can walk three hours in this without visiting all points. The beautiful stalactites and stalagmites are abundant and the walls glitter in the light of the torches. A Wonderful is this masterpiece of Nature. One gazes with awe at those palisades of towering granite and that arching tunnel cut by Nature's hand through the ridge of rock and earth and timber. This is a favorite outing of Virginia Institute and a visit is made there every autumn, much to the delight of the nature-loving girls. C.N. 55 , s 0 ff O l Zllhe Zilrip tu lliaahingtnn auth Baltilunre The annual visit to Washington City has now become an important event in the happenings of the school year at V. I. It is usually made during the Christmas holidays and is anticipated from the opening of schoolytillthe twenty- third of December with no small degree of pleasure. h The trip was made this year un'der the chaperonage of Prof. Horace L. Jones and Misses Byrne and Stokely, by the following young ladies: Misses Myrta Anderson, Elizabeth, Graham, Margaret Johnson, Mabel Ross, Mattie Lou McKinney, Irene Greenwald, Lillian Bacon, and Bessie Lynn Robinson. The worry and Hurry of a lot of schoolgirls in the act of taking leave of their friends and school-mates for such an outing can better be imagined than described. . About nine o'clock on Saturday night before Christmas, prior to our de- parture, there could be heard in V. I. halls exclamations such as, Mattie Lou, Mattie Lou, Oh! where in the world can that girl be? Oh where can she be? Finally she was found. Then some one cried, Hurry, we have but ten minutes! Have you got your rubbers and umbrellas P And of course Myrta and Margaret had to race back after umbrellas. When everything was ready of all the kissing ever heard or seen the most promiscuous took place in the V. I. halls that night. Some say that even Theodore was an unfortunate victim. As we went clown the street ha.lf running and half walking we reminded one very much of a crowd of country cousins going to a city circus. Some were crying, VVait! Help carry this grip, it has your comb in it. My rubbers are off! Mabel and Mr. Jones brought up the rearg Mabel had hold of Mr. Iones's hand calling and crying all the time, Come on, the train is coming! L We at last reached the station all breathless, and found we had only four hours to wait. Bessie Lynn declared she saw the headlight long before it reached Johnson City, and everyone was so afraid she would be left, that she had her grip, umbrella, and all other such impedimenta out on the platform four hours before the train arrived. Mr. jones and the porter exchanged a few smiles and pleasant words over the berths, which at last the porter started to make up. When he came to Lillian's, she informed him that she intended to sit up, and that he could just make up Irene's part of the berth. Margaret had a hard time singing Mattie Lou S7 9 to sleep, for she persisted in mourning over the fact that a certain Black Man had left her candy and carnations in the station. Elizabeth did not sleep much for Mabel was on the outside and she was afraid her beloved room-mate would roll out. The first thing that was heard next morning was Elizabeth asking, Mr, Jones, how long will it be before we get to Chattanooga? At Charlottesville our party had breakfast, and afterwards all during the day one could hear Mr. Jones and some of the girls saying regretfully, Six bits for breakfast. The firstthing that reminded us that we were nearing Washington was an exclamation from Myrta, Goodness, look at that tall tombstone l while she pointed to the Washington Monumentg the next was the yell from Elizabeth, Look at the Court House! while Mattie Lou exclaimed, Look at the brass- top jail. As we crossed the Potomac the Texas girls observed, This looks very much like the Trinity. Upon reaching the station Mr. Jones, after rubbering, reading signs and interrogating several policemen, decided to take the street-car. As the party walked into the coach, the passengers all hurriedly moved to the other end-we 'don't know why. Finally our hotel, the La Fetra, was reached, which Mr. Jones tried to enter by way of the kitchen. In the afternoon the ver- dant party went out for an auto ride. As we went up Pennsylvania Avenue we attracted much attention by our heavy green laprobes. From the way people stared, we think they took us for Eskimos who had just arrived in Washington instead of the eleven elegant CPD young ladies from V. I. When we came in from the ride we were almost frozen and several hours had to be spent in thawing out. Jack Frost left his impress upon Myrta's ears as a souvenir of the ride. On our way to Mt. Vernon Mr. jones tried to swap his voice to the man on the car who pointed out different places of interest on the way, but the man would not agree to Mr. Iones's proposition. While at Mt. Vernon one of our party very artlessly remarked, This sure am a pretty place. I'd like to live here with a companion. Elizabeth Graham's only objection to Washington is that she has to give her seat in the car to a yellow woman colored black. Bessie Lynn has not yet found out how it happens that so many people are buried at Arlington. Irene is worried because she can not remember all the names and dates on the tomb- stones. Margaret is very much disappointed that she did not get to see the mother-in-law-plant while at the botanical gardens. A night scene: Lillian, I won't go to bed until I get some fruit. Mabel, I won't go to bed either until I get some water and have some fresh air in this room. Tableau: Mabel on a pedestal with fresh air flying all around her and a bucket of water in her right handg Lillian at her feet eating an apple. 58 .IJ 1 A morning scene: I'll never get dressed l I can't find my hat, Has any one seen my fur ? Where is my collar? I am minus a shoe, Well, I've lost a belt. Could any one have seen the room and especially the dresser she would have wondered how in the world we girls looked as well as we did. The dresser was an heirloom of their friend, Mrs. La Fetra-in former days it was a sideboard. The mirror was divided into six smaller ones. The way we dressed was a caution. One girl sat in a' chair while another one stood on the back so as to get a good view of herself in the mirror. The next day was bright and sunny. As the crowd left the hotel Mr. Jones set up a mournful wail, Where are my galoshes, has any one seen my galoshes ? The galoshes were finally found, and in a few minutes we were tearing across Pennsylvania Avenue trying to hail a car. We were never known to be on the right side of the car when it stopped, and always had to run across the track when it stopped. At the capitol Mattie Lou persisted in running around and looking in the registers, and when asked what she was doing she sai'd she was trying to give the squirrels in the cages a pecan. At the White House Miss Jessie Mae could hardly be pulled out of the east room for she wanted to stand and look at the mirrors-we don't know why. The Zoo was quite interesting to us all, every one knows how country people like monkeys and elephants. Several days after we visited the Zoo, we were going up the street and passed a crowd of small boys when one of them remarked, I seen them monkeys at the Zoo. Every time a corner was turned, One two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, and I make eleven, could be heard from Mr. jones. Irene to Miss Byrne, Look, Miss Byrne, another old monument. Although our party was a long way from V. I. and had only three of the faculty with them, we were not free from lectures at the breakfast table about what we did the night before. At the Hippodrome Mr. jones was gratified at getting his money's worth. Miss Byrne deiined it as The place where people wear diamonds, and the ladies do not remove their hats. Bessie Lynn's opinion is that it is The most 'bore- some' place she ever got into. Saturday we went to Baltimore and were entertained by such remarks from different members of the party as, Where is Mr. Jones going now? I want to go this way. CLillianj I want some fruit. CMattie Louj I want to go back to the German boat and get another brass button. Clrenej I can't stand on my feet, this win'd is so strong. CMargaret, sitting on the curbstonej I'm not going another step. CMr. Jonesj Come on here girls. QMiss Jessie Maej I never saw such girls. CBessie Lynnj I'm tired. fMabelj Reckon they have any '59 44 be . 1 .wi f 'WF- Il -I vs XR water in Baltimore ? Qlfilizabethj Plenty in the Chesapeake. Thus was Balti- more taken in. Sunday night we boarded the train for Bristol, and although we were tired to death, the conductor waked us at twelve to tell us that it was 1906. VVe arrived at Bristol many hours late, the train being delayed by the weight of its precious freight. Even after a view of the magnificent cities of Washington and Baltimore, Bristol looked good to the weary party. Gla:dly we resigned the fading buildings and parks of the east, and the pale faces of the high govemment officials, to greet the living presence of the old folks at our scholastic home, and the walls of learning long since so dear.

Through the eiforts of two or three members the furniture of the school was bought and paid for, and is now owned by the Association. Within the last year about 3250.00 was spent for additional furniture. Some years ago this Associa- tion opened a larger room for the library, and had a large book-case built. Nice tables and chairs have been placed on the second floor halls. Many improvements about the building are due to the energy of this Association. A Miss Proper, the Art teacher of IQOS and IQO6, has obtained from the Mechanics Institute Library of New York City, a 'donation of three hundred valuable volumes. These are given by her to the Alumnm Association. The Association was organized June, 1896, and has some fifty members enrolled. Every graduate of Virginia Institute should be a member of this Association. The Alumnae are fortunate in having quite a number of Associate members. These are prominent men and women who are deeply interested in the school and the Association. The Alumnm Association held its annual meeting in the Elocution room May 23d. In addition to the members, a number of visitors including some of the trustees were present. After all the business was transacted, excellent talks were made by trustees and visitors. Delicious refreshments were served at the close of the meeting. This was one of our most successful meetings since the Association was organized, and encouraged us to hope that we may accomplish greater things for our Alma Mater.
