Blending, in perfect harmony, the vigor of the Northland With the mellow warmth of the Southland; Imbued within the person of that winsome maid Of sunny disposition, gentle speech, Who with becoming habit, dim- pled cheek, Delights the eye and wins the heart. 96 As does that maid of stately grace, Who causes reminiscence of the canna lily, That regal flower, exquisitely tall, Like chiseled marble, warmed with a glint of gold. Sing to me of one who, by the hre of her voice, Who, by her sparkling lyrics of Madrid, Dazzles the mind to see a crimson rose against an olive skin, And black mantillas, clicking cas- tanets ! And then another who seeks to use her voice, Not in fantastic, lilting song, But in the studied logic of the law, One whose reasoning intellect makes for success. Still yet one more, who uses her power of speech In saying words of kindness, aid, and praise, And never raises, in accents cool and harsh, That voice, which is but one in- strument of many To make her honored, trusted, and beloved of all.

Call on the Muse of Literature To laud with praise unstinted, A scribe who, with a wonder-work- ing hand Guided by a subtle and a quicken- ing brain, Can lead us into flights of humor, channels of pathos. Create for me a picture of A precious Marguerite, Softly colored in quiet hues, But who, withal, holds high her head In stately dignity.

Like her companion who, with antics gay, And words with laughter fraught, Destroys all solemn hues within the garden And displaces drabness with de- luding joys. Relished with keen delight by that one Eager always to be amused — One who in more serious moods Can outline the images of her brain with perfect ease. 112 Sing then of one whose never-tiring chatter Charms listeners near, A sportsman, too, who finds in varied activity An outlet for her abundant energy.

Some amusement is caused by Chaya, her faithful servant, who appears to be overburdened by work. The story is told in dialogue and songs and contains many amusing and interesting situations. In the second act. two American girls, who are touring in Japan with their governess for education and pleasure, are compelled by curiosity to enter the garden, and while their governess is sketching they slip away from her. The Japanese girls returning, resent the intrusion of a foreigner, awaken the governess, who has fallen asleep at her easel, and pretend not to understand her explanations. O Hanu San comes to her rescue, and in the end invites the American ladies to remain as her guests and witness the interesting and quaint ceremonies which are about to commence. They accept gratefully and win the hearts of all. i|0m£ iEtonomlcs Miss Eva Spaller Director Duvall, Lillys Jacobs, Martha Certificates Logsdon, Alice McClanahan, Mary Elizabeth Yow Morris, Hilda Simonton.

There ' s a flower bed of tulips with all their morning dew, You can hear the robins singing and they seem to sing to you. It has a path of cobble stones and in the cracks there ' s grass— These tiny little blades of green you step on as you pass. On one side there ' s an apple tree that ' s almost in full bloom. Here in this happy, happy place for joy there ' s only room; All sparkling in the sunlight is a pond of glistening fish.

MAKING BOTH ENDS MEET PUTTING ON THE DOG FILING FOR A DATE 195 E met of Al 2L (iator (As OUR MODERN AUTHORS WOULD PUT IT) According to Mary Mapes Dodge FROM the savage isles of Palm Beach, Florida, he came, this dear little stranger, straight from God ' s great outdoors like a breath of flower-pure air into the smoke and bustle of the great big city. He came into the silver-clear waters of the charming stone basin which was the Ward-Belmont fountain. He ooked about him; ah! how good it was to drink deeply of the limpid waters of this aquatic paradise. Then a beauteous vision smote his enraptured gaze. She was as dainty as a tinsel fairy, as pure as a fragrant lily, gleaming with gold like the western sky; shyly, tremulously, she waved a little white gill at him in greeting. Love was born in his heart. It was Gertrude Goldfish, the idol of the fish pond! He swam towards her, his lips parted wide in breathless wonder; on and on he swam until suddenly his nose grazed the rough stone of the basin. Where was Gertrude? With manly resolution he turned to look; there was a last flicker of gold before his eyes; instinctively his jaws, that had been yawn- ing, closed convulsively, his teeth clicked, terror spread over his face with the realization that his fairy fish had passed down his epiglottis. Then dawned a solacing thought — Ger- trude, his love, was near his heart at last! According to Sinclair Lewis The grease in the frying pan sizzled warmly in the clammy hotness of the April morn- ing. Gertie Goldfish Gator, a plump reddish young matron of the younger social set of Fountain, Ward-Belmont sighed crossly and poured more fish food into the smoking grease. Al, her aggressive young husband, like fish food crisp and brown and he dint care if the spattering grease did sear her soft young flesh. She had a horrid burn on her arm now that he had laughed over at the breakfast table. Suddenly she hated it all — Fountain, Al, everything, but most of all the smelly grease in the old black skillet. She looked at the crocuses on the lawn outside before she turned to carry the food to the breakfast room where Al sat absorbed in the Hyphen. With her, through the swinging door, came the acrid odor of burnt wafer. Al sniffed the air. slammed down the Hyphen and growled, Gert, for heaven ' s sakes can ' t you ever learn to cook? These things are charred, simply charred black. Is it too much to expect of a woman to set a decent table when her husband works like a slave all day in the office? ' ' Suddenly he paused and looked intently at the burns on his young wife ' s golden flesh. Gert, ' ' he said thickly, come here, close to me. You ' re better fried than the wafers are. And, with one gulp, he opened his iron jaws and snapped her up. He stared blankly into space; outside, in the April sun, the crocuses nodded; frying fat sizzled over the fire in the empty kitchen. According to Thornton W . Burgess It was getting late in the afternoon; already the merry little dinner-bell had sounded across the campus. Aunt Polly Goldfish smoothed down her yellow scales and smiled at the happy little fishlets grouped about her. Children. she proposed, What do you say to a game of Hide and Seek? Oh! Goody, goody, cried all the little goldfish, flapping their tiny fins with joy. Aunt Polly, you do think up the very nicest things to do. Let ' s make ole Ally L. Gator be it. Now, now, said Aunt Polly, Why are you always picking on the poor little fellow. Go and play, and be good and stay out of the mud. Then nice old Aunt Polly smiled — for she loved the children very dearly and it gave her pleasure to see the little golden tails disappearing through the water. Naughty little Gertie Goldfish swam right down into the deep, black mud where she thought she would be very safe from ole Al L. Gator. Then she gave a scream. Oh, Aunt 1% Polly, come and get me quick. Ole Al L. Gator is down here and he says that he is going to eat me up. All the children laughed, but sure enough, there was a great big splash and when nasty, old Mr. Black Mud cleared away, there wasn ' t any Gertie Goldfish to be seen, just Ole Al L. Gator with a great big smile on his face. According to Eugene O ' Neil Stone walls — grey, dank, clammy stone walls — encircled a stretch of barren oozy mud, lidded with heavy cloudy water. This was the place that they had left him to die — to think and think until heavy-lidded eyes had closed and his throbbing heart stilled forever. Alfred Gator gave a great racking sob; sneered bitterly; and looked about him. Oh, that aching, gnawing pain! Was he never to taste food again; was he to die here, caught like a rat in a trap? He turned slowly to look once more at his companion. She was young Gertruda Von Goldfish, once the beautiful idol of the German courts. How often had he seen her lithe, sinuous form flashing in and out among gorgeously-gowned nobles of the brilliant court. He looked at her now and smiled — a wasted bundle of skin and bones was all that remained of Gertrude the Beautiful. Hunger — he must have food — one of them must die — he reeled sickenly. She ' s only a poor fish, said he, and his lips curled hungrily in the grey half-darkness, and I am the last of the Gators. There was a brief shudder, a struggle, a thud and a memory was all that remained of the Countess Gertruda Von Goldfish. Grey walls hemmed in the void of the still pool. Infirmary i zilzttxxm I lay in my bed of snowy white, With eyes wide open throughout the night; With pains within, and pains without, And I lay, bravely trying not to pout. Silence reigned — not one sound was heard Except the snoring of the next-door bird. I thought — sadly thought — of the day gone by — Of quinine and salts, with the essence of lye. I was hungry — as hungry as I could be, Armenian orphans had nothing on me! But, instead of dainties choice and rare, A cup of tea was my frugal fare. Now, the very next morning, when the sun rose on high, I ' d relinquished all feelings of wanting to die. I tripped to Miss Rucker with steps light and gay, And said, Sugar-sweet, I ' ll go down today. Her eyebrows ascended, she said, I fear You ' re sick, young lady; you ' ll stay right here. So here I lie, discouraged, yea, cross, But I ' ll have to admit Miss Rucker ' s some boss! 197 ©rfoals of ®ntn iE a I. M. Silent — Nervous Reck |E, the aforesigned, do solemnly swear, on the overworked dictionary of the inner regions of the holy of holies of the Milestones office, that the gruesome plot which we are about to expose is the truth, the whole truth, and anything but the truth, so help us Psychology! Once we were two husky, buxom maids, even as you — maids who joyed at the sight of the crocus-papered campus — maids who ate their rea-room iron re- ligiously — maids who could run as fleetly as any Davis evading Physical Ed — and look at us today — the ghosts of our former selves: our vision blurred, our appetites ruined, our limbs palsied, and why, why? You ask us why! We could a tale unfold that could make the cat and the canary slink into the background — that could make the Red Lights turn green with envy — it is the tale of the Destruction of a System — the tale of Our Ordeal. We had a system once, invented by a jelly bean named Nervous. Strong was the sys- tem and ironbound, and the echoes of the fall thereof were heard from Belmont land to Ward County. Now, here ' s the how: One night, as we lolled luxuriously in the soft cushions of the swivel chairs of our well- appointed office, our kindly faces lighted by the reflection of the rosy-hued lamps, our spirits soaring in the elevation to which our inspiration had raised us, suddenly, even as Poe. we heard a tapping — As of someone gently rapping, Rapping at our office door. We thought it was only a maid bringing us our evening lobster and coffee — our usual refreshments — and, with no presentiment of malice, we calmly shouted Come in! Without looking up we casually said, Set it down. Imagine then the icy terror which gripped our hearts, the waves of fear which perco- lated our spinal regions, as we felt our necks encircled by a clawy Hallowe ' en hand. One glance into the masked faces and weird slits of eyes sufficed us to know that we were in the clutches of treacherous desperadoes, our powers of resistance ceased to func- tion, and we were bound from head to foot, and oh, cruel irony of fate! they used our middy tie! Into the darkness of the night they led us — we knew not where — Ours not to question why, Ours but to pray and die. Into the jaws of death, into the mouth of hell, We stumbled and blundered. Dumbly we clung together, until at length we were rudely thrown upon the cold, hard ground. When our eyes became accustomed to the dim light, we discerned about us a circle of menacing faces. The leader spoke: Tell us, now, or forever rest in pieces, the answer to that question. Oh, the unmitigated shades of scorn which showed in our voices as we answered bravely, unfalteringly: NEVER— NO NEVER! We clutched each other pitifully as we saw the fatal dumbbell descending upon our innocent heads — nearer, ever nearer — still we laughed and answered, Never — nearer — Hardly ever! We heard the splash of waters. We heard a voice say, Hurl ' em in the swimming pool. In a flash we saw the beginning of the end. In spite of our athletic ability, neither of us could swim. We felt ourselves lifted on high. A voice muttered, Your last chance. With one voice we shouted: We ' ll tell you the A B C ' s in June. 198 Stye Coming of iEUa Mt( tt (A Backwoods Idol) There are strange things done, in the Dixie sun, By the daughters of blue and gold, And the campus trails have their secret tales That would make your blood run cold; The campus lights have seen queer sights, But the queerest they ever did see Was that day we remember, the last of September, The coming of Ella McGee. Now, Ella McGee was from Tennessee, where the cotton blooms and blows. Why she left her home in the sticks to roam to our school, Ella only knows. She was always cold, but the blue and gold seemed to hold her like a spell, Though she ' d often say, in her homely way, that she ' d sooner live in — well! Came rushing week, and we scarce could speak, so busy with clubs were we, But XL and Osiron and the rest were all tryin ' to keep shy o ' Ella McGee, At night she wept when she should have slept, ' til her room mate, crazed, you see, Swore before nightfall a corpse would be all to remain of Ella McGee. But she was not dumb and she ' d soon become the most cultured ever seen, For our Southern veneer — and the fact ' s not queer — rubbed off on our backwoods queen She began to shine, and in no time, as quite according to rule, They ' d offered her, from monitor on, nearly every office in school. Came the last of May and Commencement day, and we bade our friends goodbye, And every girl, in an awful whirl, with many a tear and sigh, Herself had dressed in her traveling best, then a terrible shock had we, When we went to her room in a cloud of gloom to take leave of Ella McGee. I do not know how long in a row we wrestled with grisly fear, But the proctors came out and we danced about e ' er again we ventured near. We were sick with dread, but we bravely said, Let ' s take a peep inside. I guess she ' s hooked and it ' s time we looked — and the door 1 opened wide. And there she sat in her old straw hat and a middy as red as gore, And she wore a smile you could see a mile, and she said, Please close that door. You ' ve had a skeer and I don ' t keer how you think I look tonight; Since I left Plumtree, down in Tennessee, it ' s the first time I ' ve felt right. There are strange things done, in the Dixie sun, By the daughters of blue and gold, And the campus trails have their secret tales That would make your blood run cold; The campus lights have seen queer sights, But the queerest they ever did see Was that day we remember, the last of September, The coming of Ella McGee. (ftmfc r Ella (A Smoky Story) Commiserations to Ade, Lardner, Etc. gvNCL upon a time, when Nashville was as clean as Amsterdam, and Dubbie was still a pup. there was a classy little number around town that was the berries and nuthin ' else. Now, this little number drew a blank, and had to play Dish Water Sal, because her old man had got hitched again, and the missus was an awful oil can. But, say, if you think she wuz an oil can, you should have seen the two chips off the block that called her the old lady — they were the prize blowouts. Why, they were so hard looking they made Egypt ' s spinx look like a cream puff, and they thought they were the cinnamon rolls ' coatin ' . Now, one day the chief town gazabo put on a lotta dog, rented the town hall and the dress suit, and tried to rate his fizz in The Town Tattler. He shuffled out a few bids and fond mama and the two horses were invi ted, but the only thing poor Cindy got was the air — and it was hot. Well, mama and the monkey faces got their glad rags on and left, telling Cindy to be sure to wind the Ford and put out the radio before the Curfew bellowed. Now, poor Cindy was undressing a few hundred spuds and singing the Left All Alone Again Blues, when a dapper young salesman did nothing but knock the doorbell for a row, which agitated Cindy, who did nuthin ' but step on the exhilarator and let him in. He threw open the cut out and let forth the grand spiel on the book he was selling, entitled, Why Go to College — Let College Come to You in one lesson. Now, Cindy was a sucker, so she fell for the line of chatter to the extent of five iron men. She read the Do it now and do as you please, and the What ' s wrong with this picture methods, and, before you could ignite a fag, she made up her mind to go to the dance. She put a little axle grease on her hair, a little brick dust on her cheeks, swallowed a bottle of listerine, grabbed the piano scarf and the electric fan, paged a jitney, and headed for the dance. She ploughed through the big rush and made all the other dames turn green-eyed with jealousy as she copped said gazabo. Now, Cindy was struttin ' her stuff nobly and the gazabo ' s heart was melting like pineapple ice in the sun, when all of a sudden the clock struck twelve and Cindy remembered to remember that she had been playing Three O ' clock in the Morning on the Vic, and that the record was still on! She made a quick exit on high speed, leaving his knobs with nothing but an odd shoe which she lost in the flurry. Now, the morning after the night before, Cindy waited all day for a ring from the guy who had seemed cracked on her, but all she got was an expressed crate. She gave it a prize fight swig, opened it. and with a loud bawl she yelled: Holy Moses, it ' s my Cantilever! 200 A Sym Classical ©ragefry By Notta Athlete Time — Any hour between 8:0 J o ' clock and 3:15 o ' clock on any day.

Around the walls are discovered groups of girls in bloomers and middies, talking, laughing, and a few dancing. A whistle blows and a mad scram- ble ensues as the girls arrange themselves in two fairly straight lines, facing Miss Sisson, who stands erect in a patent attitude of resignation.) Miss S.: Attention, girls! You ' re mighty slow. Eyes right! Now straighten up that row. (Enter Miss Morrison, with pencil and pad.) Miss M. (briskly): Number, please.

Lie down and stretch. Raise up one foot, The other to it fetch. Now raise your head Without a sound. Be sure you do not Touch the ground. 201 The Rest of Us (appealingly): Dear, Emma, please, Please have a heart, And let us from This gym depart. Miss S.

Listen close And watch me first, Then try to balance If you durst — First on one foot, Then on a toe; Then touch the ground. You are too slow.

Bow to Kipling A fool there was, And she staked her all (Not as you and I) To pay the dog wagon a midnight call, To make for the gang a knockout haul. She thought it wouldn ' t raise a squall — (Not as you and I). Oh, the plans she made for that night time raid, To feed all her hungry band, Were given away by a dieteer, Who never ate and never could understand. bubbles There are lovely bubbles that come from Lux, Or mulsified cocoanut oil; There are bubbles that spring in ginger ale, Or when coffee ' s beginning to boil. There are bubbles that burst with a terrible crash When gushers fail to gush; There are bubbles of joy that are nipped in the bud When a monitor ' s voice says Hush! There ' s the last in, bubble that drips from the point As your trusty pen goes dry; Then the few last bubbles that merge to the top As a drowned man ' s about to die. But the bubbles that please, and the bubbles that tease, And the bubbles that fall in huge torrents; The bubbles we cheer, and the bubbles we fear, Are made by our own dear Florence! For the fool forgot in her daring plan (Not as you and I) That the love of food in every man Was not so strong as in her clan She thought of the fun as only fools can (Not as you and I). Oh, it isn ' t the shame of being shipped That burns like a white hot brand — It ' s the thought that the dieteer never ate, And never could understand!

Dear Granny Peg: Last night I was initiated into the Kubla Khan Club, and the ceremony was most beautiful and effective. They read over the ancient history of the club to the new members, and your name was called out as president a way back in 1924. I was awfully proud, but oh, Granny dear, the funny picture they showed me taken of you when you went to school here! Why, Granny, you actually had hair — hair that covered your ears — how horribly uncomfortable you must have been ! The school is jolly good, but really, Granny Peg, it ' s not an atom like you told me it would be — it ' s simply one social whirl after another, and I ' m just awfully worn out. I had a rather decent time at the Vandy formal the other night, but I couldn ' t enjoy myself as much as I might have, because Mr. Rose, Jr., had been so inconsiderate as to make me play the C scale on the violin the afternoon before — now wasn ' t that horrid of him, when he knew I was going to the dance? I had a deuced time getting my schedule arranged, but the dean. Miss William Waters, was awfully nice and patient. She said she used to know you, and although she couldn ' t exactly place you, she remembered the name Peggy Smith. I told her it was Ogden, and she apologized, of course. The poor dear is frightfully absent-minded — the girls can cut classics, and she doesn ' t remember whether she excused them or not. There go the chimes for dinner, but I shan ' t go down, as I feel rather fatigued; the maid may fix me something dainty in the kitchenette. Give my love to granddaddy, old dear, and tell him if he wants a letter all his own to send me some crystallized peaches soon. Devotedly, Jinny II. February 6, 1 970. My Own Granma Slim: Today has been a record day for Olympians, for we won the glorious cross country aeroplane race which we ' ve been practicing for so long. I flew from Chicago to San Fran- cisco and it really was fairly exciting. We are awfully proud of our Olympian record this year — you know we ' ve won most everything so far. We took off the jack tournament easily, and came in second on the tiddledy winks. I lost my third hop-scotch match, so I ' m going to tutor this summer, so I can be in the running for the international cup next year. The new giant swimming pool was opened the other night, with a dive display by the champions of the Michigan Athletic Association, who came up for the occasion. The pool is a masterpiece, and the private dressing rooms, each with its own shower, are extremely well-appointed. Attached to the pool is an immense dance pavilion, where we have our Christmas and June proms. By the way, I can ' t wait for June to come — you know George is coming down for the finals. Your old friend, Phyllis Bales, lives here in town, and I ' ve a date tonight with her precious grandson. We ' re going out to the Hermitage. I believe it used to be the home of Andrew Jackson, but you know it ' s an amusement park now. I just adore the cloud bursters — they ' re the latest innovation, you know, and Phil is a dear! Write soon. Granny dear, and be careful of your health; you know how frail you ' ve always been. Lovingly, Slim II. P. S. — I am trying to gain now. Why do we all have to be so thin? A ©ribute To our Business Ed We give our praise. She never asks us For a raise. 204 iEttcrary 205 MtUstoneB of (Sntfi lHADOWS must fall at the end of a day, and perchance the shadows at the end of our last day in our beloved Alma Mater may seem to lose some of their usual violet-grey loveliness under the stress of the thought of parting, for 4 to say good-bye is to die a little. Yet we can smile, for we have our friend- 2l ships of the year — our milestones of gold, gleaming softly in our memories. Our span of life is dotted with milestones, varied in hue and importance, yet none without some measure of remembrances attached. And our reminiscences in the years to come may often assume the color of the particular milestone or milestones on which they are founded. Some incidents in our life are like opal-tinted bubbles, so clear and myriad-hued, yet withal so fragile that they burst without resistance, so useless that they vanish into thin air with only a whiff of blue-green and rose smoke to tell of their going. Silver milestones plant themselves in the path of all of us, dodge though we may. The little mediocre things that occupy a niche or two in our lives and go to make up our days — things that we rank as non-eventful — those are our milestones of silver. Not really drab, not really glowing — just faintly glimmering in the presence of something more gorgeous. Have you ever gazed into the heart of a diamond? And if you have, you have seen tiny shooting sparks of a brilliant white sheen, like so many little stars flying up to the perfect surface. And reflected in this glorious gem are the warm rays of color round about it, and you will notice that only the finest, the most exquisite are reflected. So it is with our air-castles, our fanciful hopes. Our elaborate Castles in Spain are a product of purest fantasy, of our mightiest ambitions. We build them, half-dreamily, yet so definitely, and they are beautiful and fine — our dearest possessions for moments of happy contempla- tion. But standing out most prominently in the shifting moods of our memories, are our milestones of gold, which are, to us, precious treasures to be hoarded and protected in an almost miserly fashion. We could not bear to lose even one friend, and no matter how many more we make as our years go on, those we make here will occupy a very warm and very favorite spot in our hearts. You may stand at the end of a long road, just at twilight, and it looks endless, and the shadowy trees overhang like shapeless black goblins, hiding out the dusky purpling sky with its one evening star. But when a few lights, warm and golden, appear, you feel cheered and reassured, ready to travel steadfastly on. So it is. No matter how long and uncertain the endless routine of the year has been, with its overhanging worries, we ' ve had these friendships to glow cheeringly. to shine in all their warm sincerity, so that we smiled be- cause we could hold onto a sure anchor of joy, an anchor worth while. Gold is for beauty. And so, nothing but gold could be synonymous with our friend- ships. Friends last. They are not pleasures to be momentarily enjoyed, but permanent joys of life that are the most beautiful things we know. Keats says, A thing of beauty is a joy forever; its loveliness increases. What a wealth of truth is in this famous state- ment, and how applicable to our friendships we have made. Years won ' t bring forgetful- ness. How could they when the binding spirit has been so strongly knit that it forms a delicate but lasting golden chain, which will increase in beauty as time passes and which will be free from all possible tarnish? Each Ward-Belmont friend is a link in this chain of gold, and each link will become more precious as time flies by, for, as Robert Burns expresses it — Still o ' er these scenes my memory wakes, And fondly broods with miser care; Time but the impression stronger makes. As streams their channels deeper wear. 206 ttitttntt O, they prate of verdant hills, 0, they prate of birdling ' s melody Picturesque against the sky; Cheering, the men in the fields; But give me the rugged outline But give me the hum of a whirring machine Of city buildings towering high. With strength that can not yield. 0, they prate of swaying grain, For Beauty ' s no prisoner to one place, Like burnished copper in the sun ; But is free in the hearts of men — But give me the surging crowd A gift of the God who fashions all, Moving home when work is done. From the glacier to the wren. O, they prate of milk white daisies, For, if pastoral beauty comes from God, With faces washed with dew; There also comes from Him, too, Give me an urchin ' s saucy face The power that creates, the spirit that builds, That smiles, dirt-streaked, at you. The vision to see, and the will to do. Stjanksgunng With Apologies to Edgar A. Guest Thankful for the glory of the dear old Gold and Blue, For the spirit of Ward-Belmont that is ever staunch and true, For the hours of pleasure spent here, and the gladness in our hearts, And the joy of having roomies — from them it ' s hard to part; And thankful for the hardships that follow part the way; They were met and overcome and our hearts are light and gay. Thankful for those loved ones at home, who ' ve always blest, Who have planned and hoped and waited — for them we ' ve done our best; For the goal that lies before us — the promise rings so true That the harvest which we reap here shall show there in what we do. For the flaming torch of justice symbolizes as it burns. That none may rob the winner of the prize he fairly earns. Thankful for the knowledge that is ours to claim and keep, For the joy of honest labor, and the culture that we reap; For every bond of friendship — there can be no stronger tie Than the ones we form for schoolmates; we will love them till we die. And thankful for the loyal ones and great hosts in the past Who worked that this contentment could be with us to the last. Today our thanks we ' re giving for the riches that are ours, For the beauties of the campus, and the perfume of its flowers. For our school with memories humming of the sorrow and the joys, Years of work and sports and frolic, which were not to us mere toys; And we ' re thankful for the glory of the dear old Gold and Blue, For the spirit of Ward-Belmont that is ever staunch and true. 207 Pair of Witt i£a t i ERHAPS it was the effect of the unusual tropical weather we were having at that time; perhaps it was a too-close acquaintance with the warm regions of Paradise Lost, then under discussion. Certain it was that it gradually dawned upon me that I was undergoing a peculiar experience. Those fortunate ll (or unfortunate) beings who have glimpsed a world other than this mass of matter visible to the material eye have returned to relate their vision to those benighted hearts still on this plane of existence. Thus we have St. Jonn ' s Revelation, Bun- yan ' s Pilgrim ' s Progress. and others. This is why I feel called upon, in the interest of humanity, and especially the class of English B, to relate to the world my story. The first inkling I had that anything out of the ordinary was taking place was a slip posted on the Bulletin Board. My interest was aroused by the one who placed it there. He was a bright looking little Imp, probably already displaying his new spring uniform. Accustomed as I was to seeing black in all its variations, the brilliance of his apparel at once caught my eye, for he was clad in the brightest red. The unusual thing about the uniform was that it was plainly that of the gentler sex: short skirt, tight waist tapering to a point at the top, held by a ribbon which reached around the neck. The arms and neck of the Imp were bare, and my shocked sense was for immediately reporting such vio- lation of good dressing, but my curiosoity overcame my better judgment and I drev near to read the posted slip. From that moment I date my fall from Paradise. In the center of the board it was: a typewritten red card which read: LOST— Pair of Dice. A chill hand clutched at my heart. A few days previous I had seen a pair of innocent looking dice in the old Ac and appropriated them for my new Mah Jong set. my pair having been unaccountably misplaced. Truly the devil baits his trap with subtle sugges- tions, for I knew that I was not going to return the lost property to the Home Office. It strangely fascinated me. Now, I understand why the black dots on the bits of ivory are called snake eyes: it was the serpent who tempted Eve. The first step taken, the rest came easier, and I gradually strayed from the straight and narrow path until one day my sins found me out, or rather a monitor stumbled upon what I was trying to conceal, and I received a slip to appear before the Mighty Tribunal. I took my place in line and waited — in the usual way. I heard my name called and I waited again while my misdeeds were made known to the world. The suspense was awful. Dare I hope for mercy? Hush! Her Majesty the Proctor was pronouncing in solemn tones my sentence: Nine days campus — Nine days banishment from the Eden where heretofore we had all frolicked like fairies, frisking in the merry moonshine. To be cut off from the joys and pleasures of my schoolmates for nine days! Oh, Siberia! where is thy terror? Where, dungeons of the Middle Ages, thy horrors? My sighs were in vain. I was seized by two athletic misses and Hurled headlong flaming from the ethereal sky, With hideous ruin and combustion, down To bottomless perdition, there to dwell In adamantine chains and penal fire, Nine times the space that measures day and night To mortal men. I had thought it terrible to hear the doleful command, Lights out! but this was infinitely worse. A dungeon horrible, on all sides round, As one great furnace, flamed, yet from these flames No light; but rather darkness visible Served only to discover sights of woe, Regions of sorrow, doleful shades, where peace 208 And rest can never dwell ; hope never comes That comes to all: but torture without end Still urges, and a fiery deluge, fed With ever-burning sulphur unconsumed. Such place eternal justice had prepared for those rebellious. Yes, it was indeed Lights out! Thus I fell, and, Oh, what a fall was there, my countrymen! Into the lower regions I went. In the happier days in Paradise I had often amused myself in the heavenly Pool of the Mermaids, but now I found that all instruction to Stroke, breathe, kick, stroke, breathe, kick, was useless as a means of crossing the Lake of Fire. Such groans, and wailing and weeping, and gnashing of teeth! Worse than Middle March when the mail failed to arrive! In spite of the confusion, however, I had time to stop and wish that Mr. Webster were there. There was plenty of sunshine ■ — and a little bit more. I soon found that the knowledge I had gained by heaevenly paths was very useful in the Kingdom of Night. I was much better prepared to appreciate the architecture of His Majesty ' s palace, which — Anon, out of the earth Arose like an exhalation, with the sound Of dulcet symphonies and voices sweet Built like a temple, where pilasters round Were set, and Doric pillars overlaid With golden architrave: nor did there want Cornice or frieze, with bossy sculptures graven : And the work some priase, And some the architect. I was sorry that Miss Ross was unaware of the fact that one of her pupils of Art His- tory was being given the opportunity of criticising, according to the best principles of archi- tecture, the wonderful Palace of Night. And did I think it strange to find music in hell? Nay, I recognized the familiar screech of violin and keyboard gymnastics which had been wafted through my window in the still watches of evening when I grappled with some problem demanding concentration. Oh, the tortures! the repinings! as I lived over in never-sleeping conscience the minors, majors, and accumulations which threw me from the battlements of heaven! But at last through the chaos came a voice of wonderful mellowness and purity: All is not lost: the unconquerable will And courage never to submit or yield. And what is else not to be overcome; That glory never shall wrath or might Extort from me. Tears, such as angels weep, burst forth at last — and I learned how I might regain my place in heaven : Long is the way And hard, that out of a hell leads up to light. I began my journey back to the celestial regions, in deep humilitation and dejection of spirit. Ever and anon I was spurred onward with the clarion cry, I give not heaven for lost! At last I reached the height I had been struggling to attain. With a new attitude and a new understanding. Without hesitation I walked to the Home Office and placed within the safe-keeping of those in authority two innocent-looking white cubes covered with black dots — innocent-looking, yes, but the cause of so much trouble. Forbidden fruit: there was no place for them in the busy life at Ward-Belmont. Let them be returned to the owner. Moral? — Just this: The devil ' s dice are loaded, and he who comes to the devil ' s workshop, must come prepared to trade. 209 Anft ©Ipm iFac to Matt JS the days progress and as we plod on, the light at the end of the darkened route grows clearer, stronger, and more vivid. The beacon that at first was a wavering glimmer, so faint it could scarcely be seen, has grown into a spark- t ling incandescence which beckons, and lures, yet repels. Though we hasten towards it with quickened breath and impatient steps, our hearts are des- pondent and grievous at the thought that we are severing ourselves from familiar haunts, perhaps for all time. The idea fascinates us while it chills us with fear, and we fain would remain for a longer space in the obscurity and friendly gloom of the cavern. What is the illumination to which for many years we have journeyed with eager, expectant hearts? We have passed through interminable tunnels, sombre chambers of purplish shadows with sable objects and dim faces; and always ahead has radiated this aurora, now in limited beams like those of a candle, now in widely diffused rays like those of a torch held high. We have met fellow pilgrims along the way. We have made firm acquaintances, too. From every source, we have gathered in souvenirs, so our travels have not been wasted. We have seen only the murky dens where people flit to and fro like wraiths. A guide ' s lantern steadily upheld has been all that has lighted our paths. But now just ahead is the end of the blackness, the opaqueness, the night; for the entrance to transparency today is reached — the doorway to the world outside. We stand just inside the threshold, within the gloom of the cave, and we peer through a rainbow haze at the luminous sunshine without. The delicate filtering of crystalline spray misting the mouth of the cavern forms a gossamer multi-hued web through which we view the source of light. Our eyes, so long accustomed to sunless places, are quite dazzled by the scintillance of the heavens beyond the bounding roof and walls we have dwelt in. Our duty lies beyond the lacy, iridescent web of ideals, hopes, visions, illusions, and aims which is suspended between us and the greater life We must tenderly tear its fairylike sheerness, but we must carefully save the shimmering remnants. Only the colors that do not harmonize, the ones that are useless and least able to last, the ones that can ' t help us to strive for God, greater glory, justice, and right — these are those that must be ruth- lessly torn out from our fabric of dreams. But the bright tones that survive will glisten the brighter, blend more melodiously, and deepen eternally. Pureness, goodness, and greatness will emanate from them for they prophesy proud deeds to be. What is left of the veil through which for years we have viewed the world darkly, we must hoard and guard well. For now we are facing reality. We must leave forever the strengthening, restricting, sheltering walls and confront the limitless infinity that lies a mysterious panorama before us. To our eyes, it seems full of newness, and brightness, and hardness. It holds adventures, trials, hardships, and pleasures. Like a magnet it draws us because of its problem: Will it bring failure or victory? So we humbly pray that the gradual working through darkness to brightness has not been in vain; that the lessons we ' ve learned, the friends we have made, the knowledge we ' ve gained, will influence and uphold us so much that we can never desert them for more gross and more material things. And we pray for the insight to differentiate the strong from the weak, the good from the bad, the false from the true. Further, we pray for the courage to cut from the pastel-hued screen all that which is drab, useless, and poor; to retain what is exquisite, perfect, and good of our buoyant hopes, dreamy visions, exalted aims, and soaring ideals. And now, in purest white we approach the portals of life, love, and freedom. With tremulous hand outstretched, we stand ready to break through the sheen of the roseate film; ready to meet boldly whatever may come, face to face. 210 iRtmvmbtante ' (Eljp smell of uiolets hiooen in tlje green $Joureo bark into my empty soul ano frame Slje times utljen $ remember to baue been ilogful ano free from blame 211 DR. BLANTON IN ' THE SAME YESTERDAY, TODAY AND Miles tott£0 Anmu rsartj Milestones is celebrating its tenth anniversary in this year of grace. It came into existence with the 1914 issue, although both of Ward-Belmont ' s parent schools, Ward-Seminary, and Belmont College, had issued Annuals, the former being known as the Iris, and Belmont College ' s annual as Milady in Brown. The latter name needs the explanation that it was chosen as a reminder of the brown winter uniforms worn by the students of that institution. The 1914 issue, with those of its joint predecessors, is so full of interest and happy memory, so bright with rays of light from those earlier years of the School ' s work and play that the Memory Section of Mile- stones of 1924 has found no more delightful record to make than that which the unfolding of a few pages of that first book will afford. It is full of links which bind it to the School of today. Three members of the 1914 Graduating Class now hold responsible positions in the School. Miss Linda Rhea, who is a member of the English Faculty; Miss Edna Nellums, who is the head of the Student Bank; and Miss Dorothy Wilson, one of the Librarians. Miss Scruggs was Sponsor of the 1914 Junior Middle class, which had adopted the inspiring motto; Today is Ours, What Do We Fear? The Color song, still so popular with Ward-Belmont girls, was printed for the first time in that issue, and dedicated to Dr. Blanton. There was a Self Regulating Association in those days, which must have been the fore-runner of our stable Student Government form of discipline in effect today. The differences in ' costume and method and results of departmental work shows the vast changes in modes and fashions which have come to pass in the past ten years. With the coming of bobbed hair, and the passing of long skirts, a wide range of detail changes have come. But it is good to find testimony, constantly looking out from the pages of these old volumes, that in the essential things Ward-Belmont has changed not with the flight of a score of years. The honored, much revered Principal of the School, is still its head. His beloved wife is now, as then, its First Lady. The principles of truth, justice, simplicity of life and thoroughness of preparation for life ' s work, are still the guiding standards of the School. Its aim is held high, and its opportunity is always widening and climbing still higher. The pictures which follow, taken from the 1914, and even earlier issues, illustrate the surface changes which time has wrought. The fixed things which remain are written in the hearts of the countless students who have had olaces in the ten Annuals that have come between.

From the receiving line they gathered to chat in gay little groups, and to partake of dainty refreshments. An atmosphere of social gaiety pervaded, and the event marked the first of a series of functions given in honor of the Senior Class. CHAPTER II Valentine Vignettes Down the broad staircase, on to the highly polished surface of the rose-lighted dance floor, flitted the dancer, crimson-garbed, sylphlike, in her lithe slenderness. After her, in graceful leaps, bounded the seeker of her heart — also crimson-clad, also charming. Together they engaged in the gay figures of their symbolic dance, plunging the precious heart now into the chaos of her uncertainty, now into the safety of his waiting grasp. This was but one of the many sparkling features of the College Special dinner dance, for there was dancing, Nola Arter ' s melodious song, and, above all, the magnetic per- sonality, the versatile charm, and, of course, the inimitable music of our Jo. CHAPTER III Feasting in a Garden A commonplace dining-room transformed by the magic of a Sargent wand into a veritable fairy garden! How refreshingly clever the toastmistress was — how scintillating the toasts — how beautiful the tributes — especially the one given by she whose executive ability was respon- sible for the minute perfection of detail of the occasion — namely, our much-beloved Jinny! But even more noteworthy than the material delights of the occasion is the spirit which pervaded it — the intrepid spirit of friendship and love which stands forth in the relationship of these two sister classes. CHAPTER IV This Freedom Swimming the required 50 feet — losing 5 surplus pounds — not having to rejoice in chapel — these are all comparatively mild thrills when likened to the thrill which comes to even the most blase Senior on Free Day. To wear what one pleases — to flaunt high heels and red hats before the envious eyes of underclassmen — to revel in a waffle and syrup breakfast — to walk unconcernedly into a movie — verily, it is only by the acquisition of these things that one reaches the elixir of real happiness! Free Day! Long may it live; selah! CHAPTER V Home, Sweet Home Our own Senior Home — our beautiful living room, and best our adored Ward-Belmont mother, Mrs. Charley — these and all the memories they bring with them, make this chapter the most precious of our book — the one we shall remember when all else of our Ward-Belmont life is forgotten.

The athletic activities, the student government, the academic events — all hold prom- inent positions in our school life, but equally important as these, and perhaps exerting the most potent influence of them all, is our Y. W. C. A. Too much acknowledgment of appreciation can not be made to the girls whose untiring efforts went to plan for us the peanut drive, the valentine surprise, inspiring vesper services held weekly, and the beautiful Easter carols and candle light services. To these things we pay our tribute, and we wish to commend particularly the unselfish labors of our Y. W. president, Nola Arter. 217 Above — Elise Priester, Prep Maid Below — Josephine Tucker, College Maid Above — Helen McCormick. Queen Below — Margaret Goodwyn, College Maid 218 Man Bay One of the charming traditions of Ward-Belmont is that every year, some time in May, a picturesque celebration in keeping with the festal spirit of the month is held on the school ' s beautiful campus. . The coronation ceremony is heralded first, by the procession of the ten social clubs, ingenuously costumed, and flaunting their club colors on the Maypoles which they carry Following them, garbed in pastel shades, come the ladies of the court, the Senior class, and finally the Queen, accompanied by her two attendants, the College Maid and Prep Maid, all three of whom are gowned in white. The queen is solemnly crowned, after which the entire court views with pleasure, the unique dances arranged for their entertainment. May Day is anticipated eagerly by both the students of the school, and the towns people who compose the audience. The girl who is elected May Queen is indeed honored, as are her two attendants. Mnn y-€r st The moon has hung in the st ar-spangled sky like an ageless guardian over Woody-Crest, and could we but have lived years ago and have been close enough, we might have heard the nocturnal sovereign chuckle, or again, weep, at the varied scenes of life in the great house below. Thus, the moon alone has been allowed to share all of Woody-Crest ' s Secrets, so — we envy her, but are glad that we have some claim on this old time mansion, and glad that our imaginations may riot freely. We can enjoy a charming retrospect. Woody-Crest was symbolic of chivalry and gay Southern life, of lovely belles and their ardent Galahads, of handsome carriages and proud horses drawing up, of elaborate balls with all the house lighted up, and figures flitting out of the light into the shadows of the palmed veranda. And then, the moon must have beamed with pleasure. But we of W-B are grateful to Woody-Crest for — yes, certainly for the memories that we know form an integral part of its history — but more so far the feeling of hominess which hovers about it; for the sweet atmosphere of quietness, which we enjoy after a strenuous week; and for the opportunities found here for fellowship and fun. Woody-Crest belongs to our school life yet takes us up and out of everything monotonous and wholly practical, leaving us happily stranded in a land where joy and serenity are the prescribed duties. We may perform all sorts of antics, revel in every manner of riotous pleasure, without fearing that the courtly dignity of Woody-Crest will frown. And our friend, the moon? We know she smiles, and we wonder if she doesn ' t laugh heartily at times, as she adds this new page to her silver book of memories. 219 Annt In A iB C lEanfo Anne — Grandpa, dear, I beg of you, Take me by your hand, And tell me the fairy tale of The wonderful ABC Land. Grandpa — All right, dear little Anne o ' Mine, Let ' s be on our way To the A B C Land of Ward-Belmont, Where the shining lights hold sway. 220 221 222 A Bay of Saturation When the High School course has been completed and the student attains the status of the Junior Middle, he has reached only the dawn in his day of education, that time when his exuberance over future prospects reaches its height. At this early hour our Junior Middles, with that same feeling of enthusiasm and realization of their possibilities, accepted with confidence the Senior ' s challenge for the Minerva I. With the completion of this four year ' s work, comes the initiation into a higher academic field. As the morning hours merge into the light of a glorious noon-day, so the Senior Middles compassed for themselves a course leading into the field of knowledge 2. As Nature draws the golden brilliance of the sunlight into a subdued and gracious twi- light, so do the College Specials veil the glare of the high noon with the finesse of their varied arts and we come to the dusk of our educational days 3. With the completion of day comes peaceful evening and with the rest of night comes preparedness for night, so the Seniors, content in the peace and glory of a work well done, lead us to the night of our educational day 4. 1. Junior Middles are recognized on November 17, 1923, at chapel service, by snappy songs and speech from Class President, Marjorie Reynolds. 2. Senior Middles make themselves known on Tuesday night, February 6, 1924, by clever vodvil (a) March of the wooden soldiers — Estelle. (b) Sitting in a corner — Lillian, (c) Roof garden sketches — ensemble. Good work — Jinny Smith. 3. College Specials prove intellectual ability on December 15, 1923, at chapel service, by scholastic appearance and cooperation enforced by the noteworthy speech from their reverend president, Jo Tucker, I ' m here because I ' m here. 4. Seniors impressed their dignity and intention on October 20, 1923, at chapel service, by sincerity of class song and speeches from class officers. On October 27, 1923, the entire student body pledged themselves to transmit this school not less, but greater, better and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us ! § tunt Progam Presented by Social Clubs of W-B, 1923-1924 ACT I — Opera Versus Jazz Penta Tau Club ACT 1 1 A Box of Monkeys Anti-Pandora Club ACT III — A Journey of Dreams Del Vers Club ACT IV— FF Frolics FFClub ACT V — A Gymboree ; XL and Tri-K Clubs ACT VI — Fisk Jubilee Singers A K and TC Clubs ACT VII — A Russian Story Book Osiron Club ACT VIII — The Evolution of the Proposal Twentieth Century Club ACT IX— The Opening of Luna Park Agora Club Note! — Our imagination shall have to allow for the lapse of time between these acts.
