To our friends wt wish to give evidence of the school ' s growth and progress. We hope that this may meet with the approval of those who have helped to make up this life and be of interest to the friends and patrons. It IS most difficult to express deeply enough the appreciation and love in our hearts for our school. We, the largest class as yet graduated, trust that through this book we may impart to others the knowledge of the true and useful life lived in our school and contribute something to its development. Elizabeth Atkinson To our beloved classmate, Elizabeth, who went out into the great Beyond, Febru- ary 12, 1922, her Class, in loving remembrance, hereby dedicate this book.

K., ' 22. 10 Senior Class History The history of our Freshman year was covered by the last yearbook but Sopho- more year added activities and enthusiasm, and life began to take on social interests VN ' hich quite turned our heads. The Thanksgiving co-ed party stands out in our memories and was enough to thrill the most unsophisticated Sophomore. After a busy winter, we, with the Juniors, entertained the Seniors at Indian Springs and paid up all our social debts by that perfect day. Junior year our class grew in numbers and we felt vastly more important. First week of school we had our annual get acquainted party. In October we entertained the Seniors with a lovely luncheon at the home of Grace Petit. The Sophomores entertained the whole school with a Hallowe ' en party. Every- thing was decorated beautifully. Nothing was lacking, not even drinks, in spite of pro- hibition. We have a novel way at Wallace of celebrating Washington ' s birthday. In place of having the usual holiday, our faculty insists upon emulating George ' s industry. This we did that year by attending classes during the morning session and cutting up crepe paper in place of cherry trees all afternoon. With this paper we made very attractive dresses representing Martha in rather startling costumes. All we lacked were some real Georges. March 28 we shall not forget. This was the opening date of the James theatre and Helen James invited the entire school. Beautiful theatres, like the James, are not opened every day, and we enjoyed the occasion all the more because of the unusual ex- perience. The social program of our Junior year closed with a box party at Keith ' s, given by the Senior class in appreciation of our many kindnesses to them. At the beginning of our Senior year our class increased to nineteen, including Harriet Taylor who graduates in vocal music. After the annual get acquainted party the first week of scholastic work kept us busy until we began to fear that we were developing into bookworms. Early in October the Seniors arranged a decorating contest for the school. We decorated the house girls ' rooms. The girls were assigned to the various rooms and given a limited amount of money. .At the party a week later, the rooms were judged, and a prize, an alarm clock, was awarded for the third room north on the second floor. A spread at the home of Naomi Schreiner was the next social function. Games and races were enjoyed in the woods nearby until Mr. Schreiner was ready with a mar- velously arranged fire on which he cooked many dozens of eggs while we broiled the bacon. Later at the house there was a huge freezer of ice cream generously provided by Mr. Schreiner. We spent the remainder of the evening dancing. The Seniors wanted to give a rousing good Hallowe ' en party. We started three weeks ahead to bring in the cornstalks and jatk-o-lanterns which we stowed in the attic of West Hall. A week before the party we were told that we might have men, real men! Every girl was busy the rest of the week hunting for just one of those rare beings. The house was finished, the eats were ready, and the night arrived. The evening was filled with the usual stunts, and in addition, unusual palm-reading by Mr. Smith and Mrs, Fairbanks. Early in December it was announced that Helen James had been married at her home. This made the first break in our class. As Mrs. Martin Mathison she is keeping house at Liberty Court. A Christmas party was given December 23 for the house girls at which each re- ceived a surprise package. A Christmas tree was on the table and the gifts were piled around it. Early next morning we left for home. After the holidays we missed another member of our class. Elizabeth Atkinson, and six weeks later came the message of her death, due to influenza followed by acute diabetes. She was the only one left of the original Freshman class and had made many friends in her four years. As we come toward the close of our Senior year we think with pleasure of the work done, and the friends made, and often will our minds turn back to Wallace. 11 N. S. ' 22.

By the desk sat the proprietress and by her side was a calendar with that day marked m red ink — June tenth, Nineteen thirty-two. I noticed a table laden with Bowers and shining silver, set with twenty places. Suddenly after chuckling to herself something about dear old Wallace — the woman looked up and I gave a shout of ]oy for I recognized Dorothy Fink with that same wreathed smile. I knew I would get a square meal for the sake of old timei. Dot, I burst out, what is your name now? — and are you the owner of this beautiful shop? Oh. yes. she said laughing, I am owner, and my name is still Fink. You know I never could see the men, so decided to paddle my own canoe. But you know I al- ways loved the girls and today have arranged for a meeting of our old class at Wallace. Each one has promised to be here and I am to furnish the dinner. So glad you came for you will enjoy seeing them even though you get a good many shocks. I confess I was very glad to get in touch with them again for since I had left my husband and family and joined a roaming band of gypsy fortune tellers, I had lost track of the folks I had known in other days. As we chatted, in walked Janice Bazler with three little boys like stairsteps, all clamoring for ice-cream. Yes, they were her own, not a kindergarten trio, and she was very proud of them. Beside her was Frances, the stiffest of old maids, pulling her skirts aside from the fingers of the little one. I hurriedly asked Dot how it happened that our lovely Frances had not been carried off by one of her lovers, and she told me that the one she favored was a foot too short and she never had the heart to annex him, so he died of a broken heart. I could hardly believe it, but Dot seemed to know all the news Soon an elegant limousine stopped at the door, and out leaped Virginia Rouget, the danseuse, and her artist friend, Harriet Taylora Bandana. Italian opera singer. They were surely birds of fine feathers, and the aforesaid kiddies almost forgot the ice-cream in their desire to touch the fair goddesses. I rushed up to X ' lrginia and asked about Donna, her old friend, and was greeted by a scornful toss of her crop which left ma speechless. Dot hastened to explain when she could that they had fallen out because at Virginia ' s contemplated sedding the groom got mixed up. forgot which was which, and put the ring on Donna. He never could tell them apart. Donna had been happy ever after and Virginia had turned to dancing as a fine art. Suddenly the three little boys gave a whoop and sallied out of the door. A machine was just unloading Emma Vivian Ross, her sister, and thirteen bull pups which she had brought for the childless girls in the bunch, to take home as a souvenir of the day. It certainly was generous of Emma ivian when those pups cost so much money and she has devoted her life to them. Each boy grabbed two apiece and the rest almost upset the tea-room. But Dorothy gave one of her wonderful laughs which cleared the atmosphere and the patrons resumed their seats. Then the funniest thing happened. A carry-all stopped at the door and emptied out little Liz. Hill and her six little white haired girls — all dressed in different colors, — and Donna — the husband snatcher. with eleven little kiddies, looking very shyly at Virginia. N ' lrginia ' s firey eyes melted when she saw the eleven and she came over and kissed Donna. Well. Dot had to set three extra tables for the babies they brought, and provided a ken- nel for the dogs. But Dot was always equal to the occasion. 21 OOR AIN FOLK Then Clara drove up in lier Packard, ni an elegant dress and with beaming smile, and had her chauffeur unload twenty five-pound boxes of candy which she had brought as souvenirs. Her husband was a prominent candy merchant in New York, and she spends the winters at Long Beach. Emma Vivian tried to give her one of her dogs but Clara said she had just bought a horse of Audrey and could not hold another pet in her heart just then. Audrey turned up late, last train in from New York, looking too sporty for words in a bright green riding-habit and hat, and I learned to my horror that she was a race-track owner. She had given up her literary tendencies as soon as she got to New York, and gone wild over the race. One would never have recognized the shy little maid once at Wallace. I thought another shock like that would kill me, but I lived through several more. Life IS indeed full of irony. Here was our gay little Elizabeth Tuttle, once master of all she surveyed, marched up to the door by the grouchiest old man you ever saw, and they said it was her husband. He told her how long she could spend with us, she meekly bowed m submission to his will, and entered so shyly, I hardly knew her. Folks said she got cross at her first love and in a fit of anger married this old miser and had rued it ever since. He adored her but was jealous of her and would not let her out of his sight. Poor child — . Sara Watts was professor at Wellesley College, and Margaret Dickerson a lec- turing feminist; Nelle Schneider, the head of a large dressmaking establishment in Pans known as Mme. Snydaire. Geneva was on the vaudeville stage doing acrobatics with Anne Tilley, and Betty Schaaf was running a magazine with the help of her third hus- band. A lovely blond entered the room, rather fat and weighed down with diamonds. I asked someone if she belonged to our party and Dot hastened to introduce her. We all held our breath. It was Betty Boyd Brentingham, a very rich widow who had been comforted quickly by the seances upon which she had always depended. She had lost her husband out of their private airplane when driving it recklessly, and her hair had turned white over night. Then she gave it the henna rinse and sunbeam suds, and the color was quite unusual. I asked her how on earth she got so fat and she said that after she started to get up for breakfast, she gained a pound every day. She was quite strik- ing in black, and had recovered her lost cinicism. Just as we started our second course, in walked Miss Lou and Miss Gee. our onetime teachers. They were just in from Naples, as they conducted tours every other winter for the benefit of the progeny of Wallace School, and on one of the tours Miss Gee had married a French opera singer. He assisted them with the tours and spent every other winter in America. We were disappointed not to see him, but Dot said he was just fine and Miss Gee was just as crazy about him as she always said she wouldn ' t be. .After the meal we adjourned till 1942. Signed, H. S. F. — one-time teacher. 22 Top Row: Walters Van Cleve Fairbanks TiLLEV Wilson Ackerman Carter Mapes SCHREINER KnOWLTON 23 ■bg M fWrn OOR AIN FOLK 1 jL JUL. Junior History As you have been turning over the pages of this book we hope that you have been wondering just what the class of ' 23 is like. We know we may not be able to surpass the Seniors of ' 22 in looks perhaps, but we know we can surpass them in at least one thing. For haven ' t we been known throughout the brief years of our existence at Wallace as the class with the most pep and get-up in the school? If you dare to doubt our word we refer you to any attending with us. Not only have we been known for the things mentioned above but also for our unusually high grades in school work and our quickness to grasp and learn of the might) ' problems of life. For didn ' t we settle one of the most serious questions of the world, the League of Nations? But now let us turn to the jolly good times this class has had. In our Freshman year we were supposed to be fresh and green, but let us inform you that we were far from green. The haughty Seniors who tried to domineer over us may have thought us fresh but you may be sure that we let them know we would not be imposed upon. We were entertained at the various homes of the girls, but never did we have such good times as at the spreads we gave ourselves. Oh! You who have experienced these know ho v hard it is to express verbally the fun in spreads. But our Sophomore year was really our crowning year. The most noteworthy deed was the sending the proceeds of two original plays across the waters to the poor starving children of Europe. These plays were given under the direction of our dear teacher Miss Eleanor F. Copeland, who helped us to solve the many knotty problems of our Sophomore year. The largest entertainment given by the class was a Hallowe ' en party for the school. All who were present declared it to have been a most delightful affair. In the spring Miss Copeland took us on a memorable picnic to the Copeland farm, where we laid aside the trials and tribulations of the days and romped together one glorious afternoon in the woods. The party given by Harriet Gaines for the class will long be remembered. These are only a few of the many things which we did during our Sophomore year and you may be sure that at the end of the year we were just a little kinder to the poor Freshies than the Seniors had been to us . And now comes our Junior year. We came back to school eager to begin t!ie new term. Some of the class deemed themselves worthy to become Seniors but the rest of us decided to remain as we were and to stick together. The most successful event of the year given by the class was a hard tunes party to which all the girls were invited. Water flavored with lemon and salt with crackers was first served but later we decided to find a little real punch and some wafers. We were all very sorry to have our class president leave us at the second semester. She was Harriet Gaines, one of our loveliest girls. We welcome her with open arms whenever she pays us a visit. The class has not had time this year to give all the spreads and parties we had planned, for we know if we are able to be Seniors next year we must show our dear principal. Miss Lou, that we are not afraid to work so we may graduate with flymg colors. L. K. -23. 24 Sophomore History Last year we were four, just four Freshmen and very, very quiet. We did not feel it was necessary to boast of what we knew as did the rest of the classes; any way. you know knowledge will out. And for once a quotation is known to be absolutely true, for look at us this year. [ he result of last year ' s quietness appears in the unusual brightness of this year ' s Sophomores. Last year we had so little time for social affairs, that barring our class spreads only once did our names appear as hostesses m the society column of our weekly newspaper. This one time was when we entertained the whole school with a picnic at Olentangy Park. By applying all we had learned from the other classes, on how to conduct such a thing, it proved to be an unusual success. This year we increased in numbers and fortunately ail who came in had been as careful to learn every possible thing when Freshmen, as had we. Such a class as we now present has never before been seen at Wallace. Again studies kept us from many social things although this year ' s spreads certainly rival those of last. When you realize the wonderful things we have accomplished in two years, you will certainly feel you must return m two more, to see us when we are Seniors.

G. 27 Mr. Issay Mitnitzrv M USIC Our good, strong Music Faculty remains much the tame as recorded m the last ear Book, with the addition of Miss Marion Louise Pratt as a most charming and capable teacher of harp; and of Miss Ruby Belle Nason. the very successful organist at the James Theatre, as the assistant teacher of piano. The recital programs given on the following pages will show ' something of the char- acter of the work done. Our field is increasing, and the best of reports come from those who have specialized in music, so that we are assured of the success of the girls who follow faithfully the instruction of these unusual teachers. This year we add. another graduate to the Musical Alumnae. Harriet Taylor. One very great advantage to those working in artistic lines is to meet artists, to catch something of their vision, and to come to a realization that, after all. our idols are human bemgs who have worked untiringly. It has been our great privilege the last two years to hear, to meet, and even to known well one of the greatest of violinists, Mr. Issay Mitnitzky, the brother of our very talented piano teacher. In April of last year Mr. Issay made his first visit to Colum- bus and was greeted as one of the great ones of the world. The Misses Wallace gave a formal reception at the school that others might have the opportunity of meeting one so celebrated. He returned for a concert on April 27, which vas even more delightful than that of last year. Nothing could be more lovely than this one which has a stronger appeal to our hearts and memories because we have had the privilege of knowing better this very kind gentleman. We understand something of his attitude of reverence toward his art which forbids his giving anything but his very best effort. His sincerity and honesty in his work, the consecration of his life, has given to us a new appreciation of the conditions and possibilities of large service to humanity. To hear Mr. Issay Mitnitzky is to realize that we have heard one of the greatest artists of our century, and to carry that memory and that inspiration through life. 28 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

Miss Lue locked up the downstairs as usual and aecended to the second floor. Knovvnig that everj ' one had gone to bed. she decided to do the same. Nicodemus had crept into the kitchen in the afternoon, hoping to find a mouse. As such thmgs are scarce around 82, he was not successful, so lay down behind a box m the pantry and went to sleep. When he awoke everything was quiet. This seemed a good time for an mvestigation of the place. He crept quietly through the kitchen, and up the back stairway, passed Miss Lues door, and turned down the hall. Hearing a strange, snorting noise, when near the first doors, he was frightened and ran back. But he gathered up courage and tried again. Thi; time he stopped to listen and found this to be a chorus of snores, the occupants of these two rooms running in competition. He came to the next door and eavesdropping discovered that these kiddies were not asleep, but discussing the men as usual. Then he came to the foot of the stairs and contemplated whether to go up, or back to the pantry for the rest of the night, when all at once there was a sudden outburst from the nearby door, slightly ajar. He heard the weirdest stories of wild times, then a voice, Oh, girls do go to sleep, what do you think I came to bed for? So the excitement was hu. hed up here, and not wanting to miss anything, Nicodemus decided to go up that other flight of stairs. At the top he spied a light in the front room, and three little girls were having a show. This included make-ups. ballet dancing, style shows, etc. Mr. Cat watched this until he nearly split his sides laughing. On his way out he heard something weird from another room and still craving excitement approached this one. At first he couldn ' t catch all but finally heard — But fools rush— in where angels — fear to tread. There is — no such— thing as love. Next someone says. Shut up, and don ' t keep the neighbors awake. This struck Nicodemus very funny, but he didn ' t laugh this time, only he began to wonder what queer specimens this house contained. .Across the hall he peeoed into the south room and what a feast he saw. Two small children ready for bed, were sitting on the floor, their backs to the door. The blinds were all carefully pulled down and before them, on the floor were two candles, four bottles and any amount of eats. Mr. Cat approaching, quietly pushed ooen that squeaking door. What was that? cried Pink Top. Was it in the Ghost Room? Thinking how selfish they were. Nicodemus made a grab for a piece of chicken. These poor children, frightened into hysterics, rcreamed and jumped upon the bed. Instantly the whole house was aroused. It was the Ghost, I saw it, I saw its eyes, cried one. covering her own eyes. Oh. yes. Oh. ye , I heard it scurry through here a minute ago, came from the second floor back. By that time Miss Lue had arrived. Her astonishment was making her hair stand on end. What does this mean? What are you doing? This brought them back to their senses, but as they ruefully surveyed the eats one girl missed the chicken from her plate, Miss Lue, do ghosts eat? — Ghosts! You silly child, there are no ghosts. But I saw something with horrible looking eyes spring across the room and my chicken is gone. Really! If you are so hungry that vou get up at midnight to eat, I should think you might be willing to share with a famished ghost. However I met Nicodemus in the hall as I came up. and I think I will take all this food down to him and save some bad headaches tomorrow. Nicodemus, by the aid of the broom, was soon on the back porch. He had been compelled to run for his life, but concluded it was worth it all. after the entertainment he enjoyed. 31 N. S. ' 22. OOR AIN FOLK The Home and Heart of Aunt Cindy You. Lijah! called Aunt Cuidy from withui the cabin, ef you doan ' keep out ' n dat vvateh. I is sholy gwine ter war you ter plum frazzle. ' ass ' m. replied Lijah, contmumg to wiggle his small dusky body about m the water, and feeling with his toes for the ground, as he swung by the tips of his fingers from the gallery. But when his mother suddenly appeared in the doorway, with a well-sea- soned bunch of switches in her hand, he crawled, chuckling, up on the wet planks, and stretched himself there like a baby alligator in the warm noon-day sun. Three days before, the levee over on the big swollen river had broken, and the waters from the crevasse were swirling about Aunt Cmdy Washington ' s cabin, and rushing away, yellow and foaming, in an angry current that was cutting a huge channel for itself across the very heart of the country. From the cabin it looked like a vast sea. spreading as far as the eye could reach to the south and west. The first onslaught of the flood had carried away nearly all the cabins and houses scattered about the isolated negro settlement of Win Church; those that remained threat- ened every moment to topple over into the widening stream, on whose surface floated the forlorn majs of wreckage. — shingles, doors, window-shutters, odds and ends of house- hold goods, chicken coops, animals, living and dead, that told its own pitiful story of destruction. The inhabitants had been removed to a place of safety by relief boats. But Aunt Cindy had stoutly refused to abandon her cabin. De onderpinnin ' o ' dish yer cabin, she declared, ain lak de onderpinnin ' o ' dem yander triflin ' no- ' count cabins, caze Sol Washington, my ole man, is put dish yer cabin up wi ' his own hands befo ' he was tuk ' n ter glory, an ' I knows hits gwine ter stan ' ! The queer, ramshackle little structure which Uncle Sol Washington had put up with his own hands. had one room and a front gallery, and in ordinary times it sheltered Aunt Cindy, her four daughters. — Polly. Dicy. Sal. and Viny — and her one eleven year old boy. Lijah. Just now, however, it must be confessed, the cabin was somewhat crowded. A calf, which had drifted against the back door, and had been lifted in and warmed back to life, now trotted like a kitten m and out of the open door- way. A big flop-eared hound dog lay in a corner of the fireplace. A litter of pigs grunted m a corner. I clar ' ter goodness, said Aunt Cmdy. the second morning, as she fished out a coop of half-drowlied chickens, hits edzacktly lak de zark dat ole Noah done builded at de comman ' o ' de Lord! Lijah sunned himself in his wet clothes, now staring dreamily at the sky, now watching Polly, who was rescuing a box. Suddenly he scrambled to his feet, and gazed intently over the yellow sea. The next moment he plunged headlong into the water, where for a second he disappeared, then rose, spluttering and blowing. Polly ran for- sard. You Lije. she gasped, come out ' n dat water dis minute! Does you wanter drown yo ' self? Mammy gwine ter w ' ar you ter er — She stopped abruptly, her mouth wide open and her eyes dilated. Lijah was pushing his way slowly against the incoming waves. He caught a whitish mass from out of the rapid current. He turned with difficulty and labored back, pushing the drift before him. .As he came up. Polly, who had been too terrified to utter a word, seized him and drew him into the cabin. Then she looked down at the jetsam he had towed in, and gave a screech which brought Aunt Cindy, the girls, and the dog flying out. It was indeed a strange little craft which lay alongside the Zark — a tiny cradle, mattress, water-soaked and stained. Lying upon it under her pinned coverlet was a four or five months ' old girl baby, white and delicate as a snow drop. She was clad in a long white night-gown, which was open at 32 said she little Its inmates. But it was and Lijah her Dovie, the throat, showing her round dimpled neck. The soft rings of brown hair that curled about her forehead were wet and glistening. Her eyes were closed, her cheeks cold and pale. Get de kettle er hot water. Dicy, ordered Aunt Cindy. Stir yo ' se ' f. gal! Polly, fetch Lijah a swallow o ' pepper sass. Punch up de fiah. Sal. Po li ' l gal chile. Dere am ' t much bref lef m yo ' body, honey. ' Half an hour later the baby, lying on Aunt Cindy ' s lap, opened her blue eyes languidly, and looked at the wondering group gathered around her. Dar now! Aunt Cindy, comfortably, I gwine ter git her somefin ' ter eat, an ' den I be boun given ter be lively. The little creature pursed up her pretty mouth and began to whimper as her eyes went from face to face. But catching sight of Lijah, she smiled, reached out her hand and clasped one of his fingers. From that moment the baby grew and thrived in the water-girt cabin, from Aunt Cindy herself, down to Viny, the youngest child, adored her. to Lijah most of all that she clung with( all the strength of her baby heart never wearied of toting her around the crowded room. They called thinking of the Dove in the Bible. One morning, several months after the flood Aunt Cindy took some eggs to town. At the station of Win Church she saw a light carriage, drawn by two sleek horses. When she saw its owner she said, Dullaw! Ef dat ain ' hi ' Marse Jack Mannin ' ! Howdy. Marse Jack? The young man shook hands with her heartily. And then Aunt Cindy asked, An whar is you lef Miss Nannie? He said. Nannie is in the station. Go and see her. Aunt Cindy. The young woman who was seated m the little waiting room, threw herself, with a sob, into the arms of the faithful old soul who had nursed her when she was a baby. Oh, Mammy I Mammy! she moaned. What ' s de matter, honey? asked Aunt Cindy. The story which Mrs. Manning told through her tears was a sad one. She told her that her little baby girl, sleeping in her crib, had been carried away in the crib and was drowned in the flood. When Aunt Cindy had heard the description of the little baby girl she became very much excited and insisted that Mrs. Manning go with her to her cabin at once. It needed no coaxing to induce Mrs. Manning to go with her old nurse. When Mrs. Manning entered the cabin and saw Dovie, she sank to the floor with a cry of surprise and joy. Doan ' you be skeered, Marse Jack, said Aunt Cindy, she aint gwine ter die. Dat kin er joy doan ' kill. She laid the child in the mother ' s outstretched arms. Why, honey, I might er knowed dat dis baby b ' long ter we-all ' s fambly. Polly ain ' you got no manners? Fetch er chair fer Master Jack! I ain ' shout since de Win Church is tumble inter de flood but, I sholy is gwine to shout now. Glory! And the high triumphant cry of the old negress went echoing away like a trumpet tone on the clear morning air. B. S. ' 22. 33 ■I fi ni OOR AIN FOLK .

Now you who have known Wallace this last year will probably ask if Miss Lue was not hearing her Seniors at- tempt to slay Virgil. She was not. After hearing our plea for Virgil and also for a class meeting she had consented to let him rest and to give us the time to discuss our very im- portant affairs. You understand, of course, that there are matters of very great im- portance to discuss for you see we are Seniors. The minutes of the last meeting had been read. The ways and means committee, and every one else for that matter, had argued themselves out of breath. All the lat- est acquirements in the way of men had been duly discussed and for the first time since the meeting opened one could hear oneself think. Where do you suppose we shall all be a year from now? It was Jinny Arm- strong and for the last few minutes she had been thinking. I will be having a good time. I am sure of that. Liz Hill was merely stating a fact we all knew. It does seem queer to think that m such a short time we will be scattered every- where. It was hardly expected from Dot Fink, still she looked very serious as she said it. The grins diminished and even the men were forgotten at this. I suppose Geneva and I shall be struggling with energetic children next year, at- tempting to teach them their A, B, C ' s, remarked Nelle. Yes, and Margaret and I also. agreed Clara, looking at Margaret with a smile. Well you may be struggling with them but I will be struggling with more books. How I wish you could gel a college education without having to go. or at least to study, sighed Elizabeth. You don ' t suppose any more of us will be married do you? queried Audrey. Not you, anyway, laughed Betty Shaaf. There isn ' t any doubt about Frances observed Margaret. She will just con- tinue to break hearts. No one has a right to be so good looking. Well, said Sara, I am not quite sure what I will do. But probably I shall go to college next year. And so it went on. Each one knew just what she was going to do or be and if she didn ' t some one else did. Janice could not quite decide whether to be a movie actress or be married. We thought her quite pretty enough for either. Betty Boyd said her life work would be to cook her father his breakfast, lunch and dinner, seven times a week. Just then someone remembered it was late and that Miss Gee was waiting for a music lesson. So with quaking knees she hastened off to the studio, while we decided to meet sometime in the future, and leaving all cares behind us to discuss the happenings of the intervening years. Won ' t it be interesting to see us then? We may be gray and oh, I wonder if any of us will still have it bobbed? B. B. ' 22. 35 36 General School History Minnie Cummings, Ellen Ruth Ure, Rose White, and parties given by the Patrick ' s Day As the class of 1919 left an account of their graduation exercises in their Year Book it IS not necessary for us to retell their work. 1 hat following summer nothing of great importance happened and in the fall school started off in earnest. There were ten girls in the Senior class. These girls being very ambitious, immediately directed all their interests to their school work. This wonderful class of 1920 included Anna Bradley, Mane Foster, Helen Giles. Ethel Knowlton, Bernice Smith, Margaret Wilson and Nelle Ruff. 1 he main entertainments of this year were the spreads day pupils of the Senior class, including the mock wedding and the St party, which were two of the most successful events. Toward the close of the year many recitals were given by the pupils of the music department. On Graduation day Dr. Ure addressed the class on the Broader Vision, for us a never-to-be-forgotten inspiration, given to a class he had loved because of his one daughter ' s interests here for the four years. We then lunched together at the Chit- tenden and said good-bye. In spite of the smallness and uniqueness of this class of 1 92 1 , the spirit was one to be remembered. There was first the president, Helen Glass; vice-president, Naomi Bryan; secretary. Corinne Ross; treasurer, Mildred Jenkins. In their first days they started out with their colors high having chosen old rose and silver. The Sophomores surprised them with a Hallowe ' en party in their honor. Next the Juniors gave them a luncheon at Grace Petit ' s home; this was followed by a theater party at the Majestic. The next happening was a Senior theater party at Keiths followed by a spread at the home of Helen Glass. The mid-term examinations arrived and everyone held her breath as the grades were announced, but all were most fortunate. The rest of the year passed in a quiet manner. In the spring graduation was hailed with joy and with sorrow for Wallace days were nearly ended. On Sunday the baccalaureate was given by Rev. Pocock. Graduation Day arrived, and the four, dressed in white, carrying roses and lillies of the valley went down the aisle at Carnegie Library, and after an interesting address by Dr. Burnett were presented their diplomas. Dr. Eagleson dismissed us with his blessing. An innovation comes this year in way of a Camp School to be established at Toms River, New Jersey. Last year Miss Lue travelled and studied with a small company of girls, spending the greater part of the summer at Toms River. This is a quiet, restful place, six miles from the ocean, where mornings were spent in study, or craft work, and the remainder of the day in bathing, hiking, driving, or in play of some sort. The summer proved so interesting that this year a real camp for work and play is to be established. Miss Ruth White will be the director and Miss Wallace will assist. Mornings will be given to supervised work, and afternoons and evenings to all the interesting out-door life furnished by pines, river, bay and ocean. Mr. Mitnitzky will be in attendance to direct mornings of work in piano and history of music. Week-end trips will be taken, and many interesting places will be visited by the Ohio party on the way to and from the camp. M. D. ' 22. 37 1 he Nutrition Class The Nutrition Class was organized October, 1921, at the Wallace School for the purpose of knowing how to prepare foods and why and when to use them. The class started as an expernnent under the dnection of the Home Economics Department of Ohio State University. Believing that girls of today, who become the home makers of to- morrow, need to know much about the choice of foods and adequate diets and that after a study of these subjects they are more fitted for their coming problem, the experiment became quite an interesting and vital one. 1 o make the work more real, each girl kept her own weight chart, faithfully weighing herself and studying her own needs whether it were an overweight or underweight problem. Sometimes butter and sweets were added to the diet and sometimes taken away. After a period of five weeks we were given recipe books and by guidance and the application of certain fundamental food principles, the preparation of food became a secondary subject although not an unimportant one. Meals were planned and pre- pared for a normal six year old boy, for a father, for an overweight girl and many other possible cases. Attention was given to spending for the best food and the wisest pro- portionment for an adequate diet. Oh, yes, we heard of vitamins and calories and proteins but these were not labor- ious terms, nor were they frequently used. Several parties were given during the year. One was especially novel. Each girl in our class determined the amount of food she required and a meal was planned and served at which the overweights could be satisfied and the underweights found sufficient food. We served the dinner to six guests and to our class. Quite the prettiest party of the year was the Faculty Party. We decorated the tables, made the favors, planned, prepared and served the dinner. The favors were sweet peas in a flower pot. The guests were Mrs. Fairbanks, Mrs. Merritt, Miss Fland- ers, Mr. and Mrs. Scott, Miss Luella Wallace, Miss Virgiha Wallace, Miss Walker, Miss Nason, Miss Pratt, Mrs. White and Miss White. The class was composed of ten girls but for several reasons, only six continued throughout the two semesters, there being Nelle Schneider, Gene Wilson, Margaret Dick- erson, Clara Wallace, Hazel Walters and Geneva White. Ruth White of Ohio Slate University taught the class. G. W. 38 pngsgr Wm OOR AIN FOLK M ovie R eview ' Childien of BamslimcrU — 7 ie house girls.

Although we are not all Seniors in this class, we are honored by having quite a few of these most-noteworthy classmen. You will, if you investigate, find this class rL ' presented by Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors. The girls of all classes seem interested in sewing, for they find that even the much despised darning comes in handy at times. And who wouldn ' t be intere:ted in sewing if she had the wonderful teachers that we have? One of the most interesting features of this class is the way in which our little Velma Carter tries to run the sewing machine at 60 miles per minute. Sometimes when she is sewing a long seam at this speed she will run off the goods, and still keeping up her record-breaking speed by treading violently on the peddling apparatus she will call excitedly for help. Now you must realize that Velma has just recently acquired the knowledge of running a sewing machine. Her chief source of pleasure apparently seems to be in speeding up. Of course you will only begin to realize the vivacity of this class when I tell you that the characters who play the important parts in contributing to its liveliness are Mar- jorie, Billy, Frances, Mabel. Bernadine, Velma, Margaret, Clara, Kittie, Mir- iam, Josephine and Betty Shaaf. B. S. -11.

They marked at one time the entrance to the State Hospital, which was situated on the grounds now called East Park Place. This Hospital had been standing thirty-one years when the main building was totally destroyed by fire. The grounds were sold in 1870, and they were handsomely platted into sireetj, avenues and parks and named East Park Place. Two years after the platting of the grounds Judge Jamieson bought a lot and built a large red brick house on the street that is now called Jefferson Avenue. Some of the bricks used in building the house came from the old Hospital. A few years later Judge Olds, of the Harrison, Olds Morris law firm, bought this house. The judge, after occuying it for ten years, decided it was not large enough to accommodate his family of six children and their many house guests, so he remodeled the house by building on another story, changing the stairway and adding a tower room. At this time the house was painted grey. The members of this family were famous for their delightful hospitality, and the house has rung with the laughter of youth. Frequently guests now tell us of the many happy hours spent in the Olds home. When this home was built there was no idea that it would house a girls ' school, but eleven years ago Miss Luella Wallace and her sister Miss Virgilia came from Philadelphia to Columbus to open such a school. They bought the famous old home from the Olds sisters and gave it the name of Wallace School and Conservatory. The school had a goodly number of pupils the first year. The second year the numbers had increased to such an extent that an extra building was necessary. The school grows steadily and has called girls from South Dakota, Oklahoma, Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana, Florida, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, New York and New Jersey, with of course the most of our number coming from Ohio. This year we have been especially pleased to add three girls and a little brother from Yucatan. In the past Wallace School has given many fine, educated women to the world. It IS still doing this work, and it is our hope that this house may continue to be the center from which many girls may go to lives of happy usefulness. I. M. H., ' 21. 43 Top Row: Sheldon Albaugh Deibler Greer Bryan Ross Post-graduate Class Mistory One of the most interesting of the classes at Wallace is our Post-graduate class. This consists of the following girls: Connne Ross and Lillie Greer. Columbus; Isabel Deibler. Shamokin. Pa. ; Helen Sheldon. Indianapolis. Ind. ; Dorothy Albaugh. Worth- ington, Ohio; and Naomi Bryan. London. Ohio. Of course we are all the possessors of perfectly good diplomas but yet. as we are such superior beings we wish to know more than the average sweet girl graduate. Now that our hard labor ii done, meaning our high school drugery, we think it time to take life a bit easy. Of course there are the serious ones. Connne and Helen. They think they must know much in order to keep their wiggling children interested in singing. Next comes Isabel, the accomplished. She can ' t decide whether to be an opera singer, a famous accompanist, or join Dorothy in playing angel music. For, though you may not know It, our dear Dorothy is preparing to keep a place ahead of us in the Next World and IS learning to play upon her golden harp. Now Lillie, the sensible, never knows quite what she wants to do from one minute to the next and we can ' t decide for her. Naomi, worn and battered by her naughty little pupils, is now at home recuperating in order to renew the battle against them next year. N. B.
