It is in memory of her work for Ward-Belmont that we dedicate to her this, the Milestones of 1927. L OUR JOURNEY Before we actually start on our journey, we wish to pre- sent to you some of the views of the country through which we will pass, and to acquaint you with those who are in a large measure responsible for the prestige and achieve- ments of its citizens. To be explicit, we refer to Dr. Blan- ton, Mr. Barton, Miss Hawks, and Miss Mills. It is largely through the patient and persistent effort of these four that so many advantages, both social and academic, are offered to girls at Ward-Belmont to-day. The first few times you take the journey which this book affords, you will probably pass over the section of views with a mere glance at each ; but as the memories of Ward- Belmont become more and more vague and centered about a few close friends, this section will become increasingly dear to you. We hope so, at least, for that is its purpose. I Six Dr. J. D. Blanton, President Seven John W. Barton, Vice I ' rcnidrnt Eight Miss Lelia D. Mills, Dean of Women Nine I Miss Lena J. Hawks.

Cruse .... Associate Editor Alice Isobel Ingram Art Editor If results were commensurate with effort, the 1927 Milestones would be nonpareil. The members of the Staff have worked diligently to develop the book so that it may be of equal value to every Ward-Belmont girl, no matter what are her individual interests. We, as members of the Mile- stones Staff, have enjoyed our work, and have gained invaluable expe- rience in doing it. We hope that you who read this book may enjoy it now, but especially that you who are in school here this year may enjoy the book more and more as years go on, for in your enjoyment is our reward.

Of Life we can never enjoy our fill — Time hurries us on and on. We cannot loiter wherever we will, Or build us a cottage beneath the hill, Before we must be gone. As the Senior classes of years before Have followed the trend of Life, So upon our long journey we take one step more, Reluctantly pass from Ward-Belmont ' s door Lito fields of challenge and strife. Our mem ' ries will turn with a backward glance. As our path ' s weary mazes we tread. To old friendships ' dear hours, at a class, at a dance ; But mem ' ries, though sweet, cannot stay our advance- Life relentlessly forges ahead. Tiventy-three Blanche Motley Motley — the austere President of the Senior Class — and yet not too austere, for sho enjoys jumping rope and participatinR in childish sports just as much as the rest of us. She deserves all the pood thinpfs which are said about her and all the honors she has won. for she is capable, effi- cient, and dependable — in other words, that rare creature, the all-round good sport.

But, above all, let us not omit the statement that Retta is one of those rare younp females who can sew well and who enjoys sewing. These characteristics make her, it seems to us. an excellent candidate for the noblest po- sition a woman can fiH (a la our chapel speak- ers). Pcnta Tau. Ruth Barnhard Now let us present to you a famou s wit of the class. Ruth looks as solemn as the r ight watch- man while uttering absurdities that would get a smile from even the lions at South Front. To hear Ruth either unravel a calculus problem or describe the Sistine Chapel is a liber al education in itself. DjI Vers. Tioenty-seven Cleta Black Do fit well? Ha you ever seen anythiiiK blacker than Cleta ' s hair — or curlier? Although she gets a certificate in Physical Ed., we have our idea about how much she ' ll use it. Athletic type? No more than she is a baby-doll. Luck to you. Cleta. Agora. Margaret Bradley R. is for Regal. And regal is for Margaret Bradley — our stately brunette. Her George Wash- ington profile is still the admiration of the school. It may be a good thing that Margaret came to Nashville to spend the winter, because it must have been so much easier for those military acad- emy boys at Sweetwater to keep their mind on their work.

We were not — pos- itively were not — going to say, She ' s little, but. O my ! Baby is always on the job, and gets as much accomplished as most persons twice her size. Optimistic, happy, conscientious, and en- thusiastic — that ' s a combination which makes up one of the best-liked girls in school. A. K. Secretary Virginia Club. Mildred Byrd One of the most modest, retiring girls in school, despite her lovely, curling locks — that ' s Mildred. The girls who know her best say that there is not a more conscientious girl in all the student body, and the student body boasts some conscientious maidens, as every one knows. She came to Ward- Belmont two years ago. Osiron. iKI Twenty-nine LuciLE Canfield Know what animation is? It ' s the quality that Lucile has that makes her so hopelessly attractive. She is interested in life, in people, in everything. Perhaps that ' s why poor little Susie Trouble is al- ways in some sort of a scrape. But she Rets out of her diflfieulties just as pracefully as she Rets into them, so she ' s never in trouble for Ions. She can never, like Barrie ' s Mapgrie, lament that she has no charm. ;ident Ohio Club. Alice Cakr Alio e may be small but she m eans business.

Her club has kept her in training all year for becoming some one ' s better half: but if her club-house experiences are any indication of her domesticity, she had bettor choose a musical career if she wants to live with any degree of peace. Agora. I Katherine Clark Here— and we have absolutely no hesitation in saying so — is a girl who has one of the strongest personalities, if not the very strongest and most magnetic personality, of all the girls in school. And we are not given to flattery, either. During rush week the new girls hung round Bill so that the rest of us contemplated doing ' way with her. which might have been done had we not, too. fallen under the spell of her charm. Whenever she ' s mentioned, some one is sure to say, Bill ' s certainly a peach — than which there is little higher praise. X. L. iident X. L. Club. Thirty-two M Margaret Cobb MarKaret is one of those marvelous females who have achieved the high estate of the second-year Physical Ed. To those who have reached that al- most unattainable position, and still live, let us here, publicly, declare our most fervent admiration and respect. Margaret has experimented with several means of becominp educated. She has been a student at Vanderbilt. a day student at W.-B.. and a boarder here.

As Bill says. She ' s a grand ole girl. Del Vers. Caroline Cosgrove Our Irish student President is equally adept at looking beautiful, untangling Cicero, squelching culprits, and writing poetry. Her great lov e is modern fiction, and her great hate, sentimentality. She is frank, sarcastic, intriguing, sympathetic — O. well, she ' s Irish. And with all those cross currents and contradictions, she made us elect her the most tactful girl in school ! Caroline ! Tri-K. Vice President Student Council, ' 26. President Student Council. ' 27.

Elizabeth ' s spare moments are taken up with struggles in analytic chemistry lab. She ' s a girl who does things. Anti-Pandora. Assistant Art Editor Milestones. Elaine Frost Why, her very name suggests the frosty North. Yes, indeed, for Elaine is one of our Michiganders. In her two years with us Elaine has proved her- self a combination of efficiency, clear-headedness, and charm. Unfortunately, the reader cannot see how this Northern lady, unlike the rest of us. has been able to preserve her school-girl complexion in spite of Nashville ' s smoke and dirt. How did she do it?

She has been in school two years, and it did not take her longer than the first few weeks to be one of the out- standing girls here. She is a product of Okla- homa, always on the qui vive, despite a far- away, dreamy look in a pair of provocative blue eyes.

Her voice is what she is think- ing of most, and few of us can blame her. There seems to be little doubt that she has hitched her wagon to stardom and is traveling that way. With her pale complexion and her black, curly hair, she really looks the part : so she should get by the managers on two counts. Del Vers. Elizabeth Rogers We expect that a certain well-known soap pany is going to be requiring Betty ' s after her graduation, and that in not many months she may be looking at us from billboards, adjur- ing us. if we don ' t want to lose everything worth having, to keep that schoolgirl complexion. It is supposed to be rather wearing on the nerves to live with a coming opera star, but Betty ' s ap- pearance has certainly not suffered, and her face shows no evidence of too close association with artistic temperament.

President Mississippi Club. Member Y. W. C. A. Cabinet. Treasurer Tri-K. Club. Cynthia Tanner Cynthia looks like a heroine from a romantic novel, ' way back when they were gentle, lovely, and frail. She has that far-away look, so distant and gentle, that we can scarcely believe that her thoughts must be, like ours, on prosaic things like getting out of Gym. or on getting into the tea room. But there is no affectation about Cynthia. even if she could get away with it. She ' s a noble P. G.. so she could get away with almost anything. A. K. Seventy-foitr Phyrne Tanner Phyrne was here part of last year, but she missed us so much that she could not resist com- intr back and bringing her sister with her this year. She. like Cynthia, is a tall, slender blonde — one of those most fortunate creatures who do not have to worry about calories at all. But it isn ' t because she never laughs that she doesn ' t grow fat. for she has that trait, pleasant to meet — a sense of humor. A, K.

She ' s anything but blase, for she can get as excited and wrought up over things in which she is interested as one of the little girls in Miss AlHson ' s department.

And, with the dullness of reality Of work and grind and study. Changed our gorgeous fantasies To dim, vague aspirations Of uncertain form and hue. And now, when our footsteps are turning And finished is our race, We ' ll take something worth while with us, Though another class takes our place.

There are twenty-two different State clubs in Ward-Belmont, which means that these states sent enough girls here so that a strong, active club might be formed. Several other States are also represented here, but they have not enough representatives that a club may be formed. The purpose of the State clubs is to give all the girls from a certain state an opportunity to become well acquainted with one another. Each club, either alone or in a group with other clubs, gives a dance in the spring. These dances are most attractive, and range all the way from the representatives of a State Fair to the rep- resentation of an Indian village by moonlight.

The costumes and properties were authentic. The pro- duction was staged as nearly as possible in the manner of the Greek drama in the time of Sophocles, the fourth century B.C. Electra was pro- duced again on May 17, at the request of the Nashville Park Board. ii 1 One liioidred fourteen ij lHE Ward-Belmont School of Music maintains the largest, most expensive, and L Jj most gifted faculty of any school for girls in the country. The teachers have ° ' supplemented graduation from leading conservatories with years of special study under the leading masters of two continents. Mr. Lawrence Goodman, director of the Piano Department, is an American who has had superlative opportunities for study, both in this country and in Europe. For eight years he was a pupil of Ernest Hutcheson. Then, going to Europe, he studied with Joseph Lhevinne, the great Russian artist. He has attended the Master School for Pianists, conducted by Ferrucio Busoni at Basle, Switzerland, and has studied with Segismund Stojowski, the friend and pupil of Paderewski. Mr. Goodman taught in one of New York ' s leading music schools for five years, but enlistment in the navy and return to civilian life brought about readjustments that en- abled Ward-Belmont to prevail upon him to come here. He has been with the school for seven years, and the rapid progress of his pupils is sufficient proof of his ability. Signor Gaetano Salvatore De Luca, director of the Voice Department, is a distin- guished Italian vocal authority. He is a teacher of successful experience in New York and Milan, Italy, and a master of the Italian Bel Canto. He has studied with the most famous teachers in Europe, including Maestri Baraldi and Piazza, of London ; the dis- tinguished Maestro Corr ado, of Naples; Professor Carelli, head of the Vocal Depart- ment of the Conservatory of Naples; Maestro Manderioli, of Milan; and Maestro Lom- bardi, of Florence. He took a special course in operatic repertoire from the eminent conductor. Professor Sarimento (Caruso ' s coach), and revived several operas, notably ' ' L ' Africaine and Andrea Chenier, with the celebrated tenor, De Lucia. Signor De Luca was chosen not only because of his reputation as an artist, but upon the urgent recommendation of many celebrated authorities, who praise his abilities as a teacher of tone production, repertoire, and opera. He has been connected with Ward- Belmont for eight years, and enjoys the high distinction of having recently placed one of his pupils, Joseph T. MacPherson, in the Metropolitan Opera Company with a little more than three years ' study with him. Mr. Kenneth Rose ' s eight years of experience at Ward-Belmont have been marked by notable musical achievements. Annually he has given a brilliant open program at the school, and he has appeared with success in other cities over the State. The Ward- Belmont Orchestra, numbering about forty players, he has carried on and developed to its present efficient standard. It now ranks among the best orchestras of its kind in the South. Having an ardent love of his work, Mr. Rose brings to his teaching an inspiration to which his pupils quickly respond. The evidence of his skill as a teacher is expressed best in the success won by his pupils. One hundred sixteen One hundred seventeen A •mnwm THE WARD-BELMONT ORCHESTRA The Ward-Belmont Orchestra, one of the most efficient school organiza- tions in the country, was founded by Fritz Schmitz in 1908. Since 1918 the ensemble has been under the guidance of Kenneth Rose, director of the Violin Department of Ward-Belmont, who has developed this body of stu- dents and young professionals to sj mphonic proportions both in the com- pleteness of its instrumentation and the artistry of its performances. Many members of the Nashville Symphony Orchestra are present or past members of this smaller body. The repertory includes all the standard overtures, movements of the well-known symphonies, such as the Tschai- kowsky No. 4 (Finale), Schubert ' s Unfinished, etc. With its function, that of superior training for aspiring students, the Ward-Belmont Orchestra is contributing in a most helpful way to the artistic development of the South.

V ( ) lA] DOMESTIC ART The sewing classes are proving very versatile. Some of the girls are making breakfast coats; some are making children ' s clothes; others are learning how to trim garments successfully. In preparation for the de- partment ' s annual style show, the girls have been working on various types of dresses — simple sport dresses, tailoi-ed dresses, and afternoon dresses. The style show will be the culmination of a year of worth-while accom- plishment, and will be educational as well as interesting. Not only will one see the Ward-Belmont girls in the dresses they have made, but, as an added feature, period costumes will be shown. 0)ie liKiidftd ftvettfy I DOMESTIC SCIENCE The cooking classes this year have carried out an interesting and diverse program. Beginning with plain foods, the girls have learned how to plan and make well-balanced, appetizing meals. Gradually moi ' e advanced work has been taken up, until the students know all the intricacies of planning, buying materials, cooking, and serving more complex and elaborate meals. The enthusiastic girls now serve weekly luncheons to teachers and other guests who are fortunate enough to be invited ; and, indeed, those who go are fortunate, for the luncheons are perfect in every detail of cookery and etiquette. One hundred tiventy-one -3 WARD-BELMONT ABROAD These girls are climbing an Alpine glacier, and enjoying it as they en- joyed every minute of last summer ' s Ward-Belmont tour. They had no dull hours; for how could they, when Miss Ross was with them t o tell them the romance of the past and to inspire them with an appreciation of the truly beautiful? Their days were packed full of interest: exquisite cathe- drals ; drives along the unbelievably blue Mediterranean ; audiences with guides, tradesmen, counts ; trips on foot, by motor, in gondolas ; shopping expeditions to haggle with brow-beaten Italians. The nights were spent at operas, theaters, and night clubs, or in taking moonlight drives. They saw humorous things, as the ludicrous foreign movies; touching things, as Hoffman ' s Christ ; miraculous things, as the Sacred Stairway, where all sins are forgiven. They were stirred by the Lake Country of England, the Trosachs of Scotland, the green vistas of Holland. No one girl but feels the richer for her contact with the old and new as they exist together in Europe. Each has thoughts of .scenes from old castle windows, from the top of St. Peter ' s, from swiftly moving trains. Every one regrets that such a delightful summer is past, but one consoles herself always with a crowd of happy memories. 0)ie hundred twenty-two i SOCIAL CLUBS AGORA ANTl -PANDORA DBL Vlil FF OS I RON PENXVIAU TWEXTIETH CENTURY SOCIAL CLUBS For ten years the social clubs of Ward-Belmont have played their part in making our school one of the finest in the land. Not only have they been a source of fun and pleasure, but they have taught us the lesson of cooperation and the value of friendship. Those of us who are artistically inclined find our interest held by the delightful possibilities of the new club houses, while we who are athletic have the opportunity of showing our club spirit in the inter-club tournaments. The dances call for the ingenuity and skill of every member, as they are the occasion of much friendly rivalry in tal- ent and originality. As these dances are the chief social functions of the year, we have used in the following section descriptions of them. Owe lumdred twenty-three li Agora Club House CINDERELLA BALL At the Cinderella Ball, which the members of the Agora Club gave, there were no maidens who were disturbed by a fear of the striking of the clock, for the guests and hostesses were care-free. The gym was decorated as a gorgeous castle, with the throne of the King and Queen at the end of the long room. During the special feature the prince and princess gave a dance, in which the princess, true to the story, lost her slipper. One hntidred twenty-four .

The gym was decorated in soft yellow; the walls and ceiling draped in such a way as to give a graceful, billowing effect. The special dance was given by a chorus of girls, with peacock head dresses and long painted wings, with the solo dancer wearing a yellow dress and a long peacock feather in her hair. As favors, small perfume bottles in the shape of peacocks were given. One hnvdrcd tliirt; I Mary Jane Richards ESTELLE MeGGS A. K.

The guests danced until the intermission, when a pony ballet came on the scene. The Girl is You and the Boy is Me immediately became the song hit of the cam- pus after the Osiron Dance. The Osiron Orchestra captivated the au- dience, and was talked of for days afterwards.

The King and Queen of Wintertime were there, too, announced by hand- some trumpeters, dressed in white satin and followed by a royal cortege, all in white. For a special feature, a tiny dancer appeared and danced amid falling snowflakes, while colored lights played upon her graceful figure. Then, with the aid of two snowmen, she rolled out a huge snow- ball, which was opened and brought more and more snowballs on the scene.

These begin with the reception given by the Social Clubs in the ■ fall, for the new girls, and end with the All-Club Dinner, which is given the last evening that we are here in the spring. The All-Club Reception is a miracle of new evening dresses, handshaking, and friend- liness. Each club holds open house, and each club labors and toils over making its re- ception so lovely that every new girl will be sure that that particular club is the only one for hei ' . It ' s a great time, for it ' s the time when the first strangeness of being away at school is entirely dissipated, and each girl discovers herself as an integral part of the school life. Not long after this comes the next big event of the year, the Halloween Dinner. Sud- den chills go up and down our backs as the dim lights cast flickering shadows and form grotesque figures about us. We slip into our places at the table and shudder at the very thought of eating petrified eyeballs and tombstones. As we are eating, we are suddenly surprised and delightfully horrified by the ghostly procession which is gliding in and out the tables, clanking chains, making weird sounds. For some minutes we are kept in a state of shivering expectancy, and then, to our great relief, it slips myste- riously away, leaving us once more in peace. Then comes Thanksgiving Day, perhaps the most enjoyable day in all the year. Until eleven o ' clock in the morning the campus is alive with girls dashing here and there, some with letters, some with telegrams, some with call slips, and others with packages or flowers. But at eleven o ' clock everybody attends the devotional service in the chapel. During the first part of the afternoon the driveway is filled with taxis and private auto- mobiles, some bringing parents, some taking delighted girls away for drives. Then, too, there we ' e many who go in the school parties to the Vanderbilt-Sewanee football game or to a matinee down town ; so that by three o ' clock the school is practically deserted. It might be difficult for one to imagine Ward-Belmont girls as Puritan maidens, but, nevertheless, dinner time finds the dining room filled with charming white-capped and white-kerchiefed maids, who are greatly enjoying the delicious dinner and discussing enthusiastically the happenings of the day. After Christmas come the celebrations of George Washington ' s Birthday and of May Day, but more of them later on. The very last social event of the year, which takes place on the night before we leave for home, is the All-Club Dinner. It is a more or less sad aff air, in spite of the flowers and songs and the enthusiasm of each club ' s vieing with the others to make its section of the dining room the most attractive. For the Seniors it is the last time all the old school friends will be together, ever; but for the other girls it is more just a charming dinn er, a brilliant affair to remember until the next autumn will find them back at school. Tivo hundred three Two hundred four J osEmmJsoN- College Jfdid ffmcE Cavemt -PrepAdioL MAY DAY Of the holidays which are scattered throughout our school year, none is more beautiful and more festive than May Day. Tradition has set aside the last Monday in May as the day on which the Ward-Belmont girls cele- brate according to the old English custom. It is a day on whicn the Seniors are given places of honor and prominence. The May Queen is chosen from their number, and her classmates comprise her court. On the day of the May festival the entire school assembles on the campus to dance around the May Pole and make merry for their own pleasure and that of a crowd of friends and Nashville guests. Two hundred five MARTHA AND GEORGE WASHINGTON Myrtle Carter, as Martha, and Rose Morrison, as George, led the assem- bly of colonial dames and dandies at the Colonial Ball and dinner on the evening of February 22. At six o ' clock on that evening there echoed through Recreation Hall the strains of the Minuet in G, and down the winding stairway came the chosen George and Martha with their attend- ants. Majestically they passed by the admiring groups into the dining room with the other ladies and gentlemen. After dinner, in accordance with the custom, a group of Seniors danced a stately minuet before Martha and George; and then the orchestra struck up a modern tune, and all joined in the dancing. Two hundred six A FTERNOON WALK Finding redbud on a mauve sky Too great beauty to be borne Inactively, I betake myself out To see what the sun has wrought. Treetops are far misty green Against the gray sky ; Branches and twigs of unawakened trees Cross and recross In black lacy bewilderment. Dogwood blossoms are great flakes of snow Suspended in falling; They hold themselves wide, Gratefully receiving the sky. Pale yellow narcissi Bear themselves proudly, Scorning brown earth Whence they have come. On such a day Beauty is everywhere. This is the best of Spring, When she withholds herself. Scattering shy largesse. Giving shy promise Of what is to come. Tivo hundred seven ITINERARY Septenibei 16. Septembei 17. Septembei 19. Septembei 2.5. September 27. October 1. October 2. October 8.

Long lines of weary girls asking many foolish questions! Seniors receive privileges. The campus was hardly big enough to hold the privileged Seniors that day. All-Club Reception. Weary hostesses wondering if the lines of new girls were endless ! Pledge Day. Excitement reigned supreme among both new and old club members. Fag Day. We didn ' t know the old girls had such ingenious minds! Initiation. The beautiful solemnization of that ceremony so dear to the heart of every club member. National Chamber of Commerce visited us. Real men — and lots of them, too! Peanut Week. Such mysterious packages as were found unexpectedly all that week! Cheers for the Y. Dr. Vincent ' s lectures on English Life and Letters During the Regency. We look forward to Dr. Vincent ' s coming again next year. Will Rogers, entertainer. And we cheered him six hundred strong when he spoke of our well-chaperoned dates in the hall of a hun- dred mirrors. Hyphen Recognition. We reduced our bank accounts to the last nickel to support that fine Hyphen Staff. Senior Recognition. What strange thoughts filled our heads as we won- dered where the next year would find each beloved Senior. Class Recognition. May each year see the fulfillment of that pledge to transmit our school, not worse, but bigger, better, and more beau- tiful than it was transmitted to us. Halloween Dinner. Was our party spooky? Ask the ghosts! Bishop of London at the War Memorial Building. His talk interested us, because it was about us. Pavley-Aukrainsky Ballet and Nomiko San. We try to appreciate high-class opera, but we can ' t understand what ' s said! So, of course, we enjoyed the dancing more. Electra at the Parthenon. Could you believe that our c ' assmates could be so wonderfully transformed into Greek maidens simply by instruction from Miss ' Townsend? Puritan Dinner. It would have been fun to have lived in the days of Priscilla and John Alden ! Lucrezia Bori. And she gave us — us alone — an encore! Senior Open House. Did the Seniors feel their importance? 0, no!! Club Christmas Parties. Do you suppose the Orphans enjoyed those toys any more than we did? Miss Townsend ' s Plays. A very delightful parting gift! Home going! The name itself is sufficient. Return to school. What trophies we all had to show off ' ! How many frat pins did you count? Exams. ' Nuff ' said ! Basketball Championship Game. Of course the Tri-K. ' s couldn ' t loosen their hold on that cup. And now it ' s theirs for keeps! Bowling Championship. The X. L. ' s were worthy of their name. How they did x-cel! Valentine Party by Second-Year Girls for Seniors. Although Cupid ' s darts were not flying around, all his other toys were there. Two hundred eight February 15. February 18. February 22. February 25.

You can ' t kid me! Time did turn back that night when we saw George and Martha. Canadian Booster Club. And a good time was had by all ! Baby Peggy ' s Visit. She really was just all black hair and eyes. Ben Scoval, entertainer. He made us laugh and cry at the same time— that ' s why we all loved him! Muscle Shoals Trip. Tired, but happy, we walked all over Alabama! Milestones Stunt. Did you know before that day that some books are alive? Milestones Dinner. It ' s good method to feed us and ask for money afterwards. Ward-Belmont Orchestra. I ' ll bet that many of the members of our Orchestra will some day be members of well-known symphony orches- tras. Senior Free Day. Here ' s to the Seniors ! They richly deserve having one day free. Senior-Senior Middle Banquet. Robin Hood ' s entertainment held us all spell-bound for an hour or so. MacPherson ' s Concert. We were some proud to claim that he was from Ward-Belmont. Horse Show. Almost felt like we might be at a Texas rodeo! Senor De Luca ' s Opera. We didn ' t know we had our own Metropolitan Opera Company, did we? We again revert to the Greek. Electra is most beautiful. Baccalaureate Sermon. It did seem strange to think that the Seniors were spending their last Sunday in Ward-Belmont. May-Day Festival. The gay dancers and the picturesque Maypoles brought to us the full picture of May Day. High School Commencement. Our Junior Middles! College Commencement and Home Going. The thrillingest of all thrilling days. Tivo hundred nine 01, 01, 01, ABIE, SEE DA CONTEST I R. AND MRS. ABRAHAM MORENSKI were at home. Sweet es- [qip sence of ham created part of the necessary atmosphere; Abraham ' s pipe did the rest. They both rocked back and forth in their respec- tive chairs, making a touchdown one minute and losing a few yards the next. Each had a piece of the Jerusalem Times clutched tightly. Sud- denly Rachael ' s face became a proverbial wreath of smiles, and, with much gesticulating, she enthusiastically blurted : Oi, Oi, Oi, Abie, see da contest de peppuls vot I know ; see, Abie, see da vinners of da contest !

Two hundred eleven THINGS THEY NEVER SAY Miss Mills: Now, it is our rule never to allow the girls to attend the Vanderbilt dances; but, of course, we ' ll gladly make an exception of you, dear. Miss Morrison: Swing the clubs carelessly, girls; it makes the drill so much more graceful. Madame Beziat: Just say it in English; it ' s so much easier for you. Miss Shackelford: 0, what a (nite painting! Miss Rhea: I have decided to exclude examinations from my History course. Mrs. Polk: I ' ve never had such a brilliant class — all A students. Mr. Barton: Now, enjoy your mail, while I give you the latest report of the war in China. Miss Ashburner: I ' m coming up to third floor to-night, girls; so save some food. Miss Leavell: Cultivate a piercing shriek, so that every one may hear what you have to say. Mrs. Charlton : Yes, the shopping lists are made up, but I ' ll arrange a special party to accommodate you. Miss Rucker: I don ' t think salts would agree with you. Member of Council: Come on; let ' s walk a mile for one. Chapel Monitor: I ' ll have some Juicy Fruit, thank you. General Monitor: Those new five-inch heels will be just the thing for church this spring. Hall Monitor: Take your time, girls. It ' s only 10:15 — the evening is just beginning. The Girls: Why, we wouldn ' t think of wearing rouge or lipstick, even if we were allowed to. I Tivo hundred twelve THIRTY MINUTES WITH BARTON Scene Ward-Belmont ' s ultra-modern auditorium, buzzing with a sound which is highly suggestive of the arena where Nero persecuted the Christians. Dramatis Persons Dr. Blanton — our beloved absent-minded professor. Mr. Barton— official broadcaster of Station C-H-A-P-E-L. Miss Morrison — a powerful Katrinka, in sooth in brain if not in brawn. Miss Boyer — who strives unceasingly to teach us the latest jazz. Mr. Wesson — her apt accompanist, who, modern in extreme, wears one of those William Tell ties (you know the kind — pull the bow and hit the apple). We, the multitude, the necessary accessories to a perfect chapel program. Invited and expected to attend. Time Daily at Ten Bells The Faculty saunter in and make for their accustomed seats. Miss Morrison puts an end to all the noise by requesting that all those who have spoken since entering meet with her for a few minutes after chapel. Mr. Barton announces the hymn. Miss Boyer trips gaily to the center of the stage, and Mr. Wesson unobtrusively appears from no- where, steps on the starter, shifts gears, and, with a few excusable back-firings, is off. After the hymn is duly rendered, we resume our seats with much scraping of feet. Mr. Wesson retires with an air of martyrdom, afer having favored we, the multitude, with an ingratiating grin. Mr. Barton steps forward rather obviously, casts his eyes (you just know he has them) on we, the multitude, picks them up and casts them again. He fumbles with his handkerchief, his watch, his spectacles, and his thoughts, and proceeds with unusual oratory : I wish to state concisely the affairs in China, so that you will be better prepared to vote at the next presidential election, which will come sometime within the next four years. It seems that the daughter of an American resident in China playfully pounded a nail into the fiesh of a little Chinese companion. The Chinese father, refusing to realize that it was only a childish prank, struck the American across the face with his queue. The American forces have, of course, been called out to avenge the insult to an American citizen. This, briefly stated, is the situation. Now, we have with us the latest masterpiece of our national artist. Bud Fisher. The title of the picture is, ' Two Negroes Shoveling Coal in a Dark Cellar. ' (This is an oil reproduction of the picture, which we want to share with our readers because of its prominent place among the masterpieces of the world.) Miss Ross, who could more ably discuss this picture with you than I can, found it necessary to go down to the Wholesale House this morning to buy another order of passports for the girls going to Europe with her this summer; so we shall have to postpone discus- sion of the picture until another morning. Mr. Barton resumes his seat, and Dr. Blanton ambles up to the front of the platform. A blush of youthful modesty surmounts his brow as he starts to speak, hesitates, then starts again, and at last boldly proceeds: We are planning a very delightful trip for you this week-end to Notre Dame to the Junior Prom. We shall have a special train with parlor cars and smoking rooms; sd you need not fear any inconvenience en route. Gentlemen escorts will be provided to Tivo hundred thirteen assure you of an enjoyable evening at the dance. All of you who wish to go, please file with Miss Nellunis. Dr. Blanton retires (now listen here: you know we mean exits), amidst wild excla- mations of joy from the preps, who have not yet learned the art of retaining at all times that expression of blase nonchalence which the Seniors so admirably register. Miss Morrison silences the hysterical outburst by coyly raising an admonishing fore- finger. Girls, I have only a few announcements this morning. Miss Mills complains that so few girls are filing for dates in the club houses that it doesn ' t warrant leaving the lights on in all of them every night; so after this please request your boy friend to bring his own flashlight. And just one other thing. The girls in the beauty parlors at Castner-Knotts have objected to your smoking while having your facials. They say that inhaling so much smoke is injurious to their lungs. She dismisses the Faculty with a vehement nod of the head, and they, like orphans escaping from an institute, scamper hither and yon and yon and hither, and at last dis- appear. Miss Morrison smiles at us benignly, and we, too, are gone ere her eyelids have flickered open. 1 ! ' i h V M )ii 4 «.. ' A Little Bit of Love Goes a Long Way ' Two hundred fourteen AN HOUR WITH MISS ROSS AND MR. SHELLEY [v lHE 8 o ' clock bell rings with its usual fervor, and within five minutes the apt stu- I v dents of Miss Ross start to pour into her classroom. Sleepiness registers in all ISUIfl but a few faces; the few are given to yawning audibly or stretching. Two strag- glers appear at the door, and soon settle themselves, having claimed the attention of the class with much scraping of feet and a few other antics. Gum popping ensues for a time. 8:10-8:15— and the patter of feet. Feet? Yes, the feet of Miss Ross. Good morning. Miss Ross! Uh-huh, roll been called yet? (Business of looking for a place to put her coat and scarf) Miss Lightfoot (taking a book from the desk) : Banfield — Clark — Cruse, etc. Every one here? Ready? Where ' s Finnup? O, yes! Why don ' t you sit up and let me know that you ' re here, Miss Finnup? Every one awake? (Humph!) Let ' s see. What ' s our lesson for to-day? Who do we have for to-day, young ladies? Hei ' e! Wake up ! All right — Miss Martin, you tell us. Miss Martin tells Miss Ross as gracefully as she can that we are in the act of reading Shelley. Mr. Shelley, is it? 0, yes! I have it marked. Miss Rhodes — I mean Miss Jones. (Humph!) What ' s the matter with Mr. Shelley, Miss Rhodes? Process of telling Miss Ross what she told us a week ago. Too full of figures, is he. Miss Rhodes? (Humph!) Don ' t you like it? Class, what ' s the matter with Mr. Shelley? Come on, wake up, volunteers! I don ' t know what I ' m going to do with you girls! Mr. Shelley doesn ' t stay on the earth. That ' s it, isn ' t it? Do we all like Mr. Shelley? He soars, his words have wings, and the music flows. Isn ' t that it? Pretty good, isn ' t it, young ladies? We all nod vehemently. Where are some good figures? They ' re everywhere — s ' here, ' n s ' here, ' n s ' here, ' n s ' here. (Humph!) Where does he say the same thing? Class? Girls, have you read this poem? Why don ' t you talk? Don ' t be bashful. (Humph!) Now, class? Any one? Mutterings in various tones are heard all over the room, and soon Miss Ross hears an imaginary voice answering the question correctly. Who said that? Miss Way? Well, why didn ' t you say that before? She reads from Adonais: ' The quick dreams, The passion-winged ministers of thought, Who were his flocks — ' What were ' his flocks, ' Miss Scruggs? His sheep. Miss Ross. (Great snickerings around the class.) Now, Miss Scruggs, you knew better than that. (Humph!) That ' s a n elaborate figure, but it ' s perfectly clear what we mean, isn ' t it, young ladies? (Humph!) Some one painted a fine picture that just expresses that thought. Process of searching for picture goes on At last she finds a Hogarth in with the Michael Angelos. Holds up picture, and we all gasp in admiration. See here, young ladies, this curve — it ' s s ' here, ' n s ' here, ' n s ' here, ' n s ' here. (Busi- ness of sweeping hand over picture to demonstrate the various curves which are invisible to us, but interesting, nevertheless.) There is nothing prettier in the world than the curve of a woman ' s back. Clever artist this, to repeat the curve in chairs, candelabras, windows, etc. But now I musn ' t take any more time — O, yes! Here ' s a Botticelli that I just must show you. ' Venus on the Half Shell. ' (Humph!) Venus is just awak- ening. (Humph!) I wish some of you would do the same. See how gently these two figures representing winds are wafting over the scene. At this point Miss Ross demon- strates by leaning across the desk, one arm before the other, scattering papers broad- side. We all rise instinctively as one, and sink weakly back into our seats when the danger subsides. But, young ladies, we must get back to our Mr. Shelley. Miss Dixon, where does he get his stanza form? Well, I don ' t exactly know, Miss Ross. Tivo hundred fifteen Well, look at it; you have it right there before you — see here, young ladies, have you read this poem? Miss Dixon, I think we may safely say, has not read her poem. Is that right, class? From force of habit we all nod. Next — Prometheus — how is this representative of this period? Inner meaning? How does it differ from the others of this period? (Humph!) One fool can make more questions than twenty wise men can answer. In the middle of this sentence the bell rings, and we all stand. Miss Ross, totally unsuspecting of our intentions, reads on in a rolling, resonant voice the words of our Mr. Shelley. As the last of the multitude disappears, she assigns the next day ' s lesson, pats her hands together, throws her scarf around her neck, and optimistically busies herself with the search of the textbook for the class, which has already assembled. TO THE MOON SEEN THROUGH THE RAIN I O, calm white moon. Hanging halfway up the eastern sky, I see you shining calmly through the rain, Indifferent to such petty things As whether man may live or die. The sky, your lover, softly sobbing. Weeps at your disdain. But you, radiant one, unmindful of his sigh. Serenely wax and wane Afar on high. Caroline Cosgrove.

FAMOUS WORDS OF FAMOUS PEOPLE Miss Leavell: Do-you-see-what-I-mean? Miss Sisson: Girls! You ' re so stupid! Miss Norris: Isn ' t that interesting? Mrs. Charlie: Girls!

Those girls up there in the balcony — Two hundred eighteen CONCOCTED WITH CARE Too little learning is a dangerous thing; you may be classed with the Nit-Wits. Great oaks from little nuts grow — at Ward-Belmont. We wonder why? After you get what you want, you want more. Some one said that we ' ve had a lot of weather lately. What more do you want for $1.95? A watch on the wrist is worth two on the Rhine. Absence makes the heart go wander. Bite off more than you can chew, and then chew it, or you ' ll miss the second helping. We know there ' s a family skeleton in every closet, but it ' s the best policy not to make any bones of it. The proof of the eating is in the gaining thereof. The longest way round is t he sweetest way home. Don ' t gather ye rosebuds unless you ' re crazy about appearing at council. A stitch in time saves a pair of hose. Too many chaperons spoil the party. Any one can dance at any ole time, but it takes a mosquito to do a real dance at mid- night. A hair in the head is worth two in the brush. The early bird gets the first bath. Two A ' s are better than one. All is not beauty that looks it. Any ole person can go to college, but it takes a wise one to be collegiate. No foolin ' . So ' s your ole man — and how? Gentlemen prefer blondes — and all that sort of rot. Finish the story yourself. Tu ' o hundred nineteen 1 I Two hundred iwentij A W.-B. SHOPPING PARTY irtlELL, I donned my funeral black and betook myself up to North Front to meet the dear chaperon. Never thought to look on the list posted in Middle March — not I — but just trotted gaily down and atatched myself to Mrs. Padgett. Girl! What are you doing here? said Mrs. Padgett. Haven ' t you mixed youi: party? Well about that time up tripped another chaperon, and something made me think there was a mistake somewhere. You! You over in the corner — what ' s your name? Humph! About that time I was sure there was something wrong, but I realized in time that if I didn ' t want to start a riot then and there, I ' d better seize her by the arm and offer to pay her street car fare. The street car came after we ' d been waiting about twenty minutes, and she ' d called the roll three times to keep her girls together. I seated myself four seats away from the chaperon, and in the course of the trip she shouted in a stage whisper every three blocks for me to pull my dress down, or to give the lady a seat, or to be sure to thank the gen- tleman who had offered me his, or to be more quiet. We disembarked at Castner ' s corner, and all assembled in front of the store, while she called roll again. When she found that none were missing, she began her little lec- ture on the dangers of big city traffic. She explained at great length that the red light didn ' t mean to cross the street, and that if we lost our way, just to ask a policeman; and, by all means, whatever we did, we should meet her at five o ' clock at Loveman ' s to go for refreshments. Then she called roll again, and we dispersed to buy out Nashville. The next hour was one mad rush from Stief ' s to Kress ' s, back to Castner ' s, and thence to Loveman ' s. Don ' t ever think we were late! Nay, we were six minutes early — if you can believe it — and even at that the chaperon was there ahead of us. Well, she checked our names off, and we rushed upstairs to purchase some socks; and when we came back, she took our names again. About that time the rest of the party had hailed in; so she called roll again, and we started for Kleeman ' s. Now, girls, give your order; and if you must buy some candy, go up and get it — and, remember, not more than one jiouiid. Well, we ate, and then we rushed to the street car; and, to keep peace in the crowd, I offered to pay the chaperon ' s fare. Big-hearted ! And I was too exhausted to scream across the car, and scarcely had breath enough to answer to roll call when we finally arrived back at W.-B. Tivo hundred tiventy-one MEDITATIONS By Mary Rhoda Jones fwlPON the surface of the sky several small clouds are floating. They are white clouds [vjj on a rather dull sky. But now their edges and higher surfaces are beginning to ™ turn a delicate shell pink, shimmering against the deeper folds of mother-of-pearl. The whole sky is flushing along its eastern edge; the sun is beginning anotjher day. Yes, it is just another day for the sun to rise; it has risen upon countless thou- sands of days. Thus this sunrise becomes an ordinary happening; but, what a really important one! The campus is all fresh, tender, and green — such a delicate young shade of green! The flowers, the trees, and the earth have only a few weeks worn their new spring cov- erings. On through the trees, on through the trees, the eye can scan. It seems a campus for all the world like a beautiful park. Here and there is a bed of tulips, their gay color relieving the stretches of green; and farther on are the bridal-wreath bushes, their cool, white, graceful branches adding a look of purity to all. From every tree cDmes the soft chirping of birds; they love this early morning time. The whole campus is clothed anew. All ugliness of winter is hidden. Everywhere is the pulsation, the vibra- tion of nature taking new life. Yes, it is just another spring. It has come year after year and is expected. What a really beautiful picture the campus makes! But in reality it is only the background for a greater, more beautiful picture — my life at Ward-Belmont — a picture I can look back on wherever I may be, next year, all years that are to come — yes, a pic- ture I can share only with my inner heart and perhaps with those who have been here, too; but even then there will always be that unexplainable, incomparable something my school means only to me. Perhaps as I fill this picture in on the background of the campus, I can find a way to explain what it all means. Days here at school have been spent in classrooms. Teach- ers have spent many hours explaining, giving meaning to the world ' s greatest thoughts as they are written for us in those life companions, books. There have been weary hours — hours almost of despair — but in the end always the exaltation of a lesson learned. Classroom life has not been the only life; indeed, it has been only the begin- ning of another life — that of the friendships made and the good times they have brought. Day in and day out these friends have stood all tests known. They are loved; they love in return. And though physically they may not always be able to walk with me, I shall never be without the happy memory of them. I am sure that such charac- ters as I have known here will serve always to spur me on and on. Yes, always bioks and friends make up a school life, some will say. Then let me add that there is a big- ger, a finer, a better side to the wonderful life here. That side is built of ideals. Life would surely be worthless, books and friends would be purposeless, if ideals were lack- ing. People may have degraded ideals, or they may have high ones, but I know that ideals as I have learned them here are the only things that could make a life complete. The friendships formed here re mind me just a little of the verdant green, covering the winter ugliness of the campus; for it is my friends who have made my life a happy, happy one. They have smoothed away the hardships. If I am to liken the natural beauty around the campus to the life upon it, I may say that the lessons and thoughts of great men, as I have read them from the printed pages, are like those clouds far above — things beautiful, things to be admired, things to be looked up to. Then the ideals — do they not add the touch of spiritual beauty to life which the bridal wreath adds to nature ' s picture? Two hundred twenty-two I have said that perhaps to the sun this is just another morning to rise, to do his duty; that perhaps to the spring it is just another year to ome and give energy to a dis- heartened, winter-tortured world. To me it is not so. This morning, with its beauties of spring, made more beautiful by lights from the sun, has made me realize that in a few weeks my life at Ward-Belmont is done. It is as a book, and I am writing the last chapter as I live from day to day in these last weeks. The first chapters are beautiful with all they hold, but the peace of seeing two of life ' s happiest years closing is sad; yet it is wonderful. I, am virtually standing in one world looking out into the next. It is with fear, natu- rally, of the unknown which lies beyond to fill the years of my life. But, come what may, I have many of life ' s dearest treasures which I have made my own through these two years, and I can always be comforted and helped by them. I defy those unknown things to make me forget, ever, these two wonderful years. MERCHANT OF DREAMS By Alice Isabel Ingram The merchant of dreams came down one day. When the sky was red in the west. Sauntering down the road from the town. Peddling his wares like the rest. Why not buy what I sell? Roses must fade, Glory pass on to its due. Beauty must dim; love even dies. My dreams are ever new. You may take your choice; Price there is none. Save a loosing of mind. So the memory may run. Tivo hundred twenty-three POEM When I am torn by fierce, relentless pangs of grief, By storms of pity for those unhappy ones who fall; When my soul is wracked with lofty aspirations To do great things, to conquer over all; When I feel strange longings and sudden passions in my heart, Then sometimes I wish I were a clod, a stone, a tree. Or anything inanimate that cannot feel and know, But exists calm, serene, and free; Not sad and yet not happy. Ignorant of human joy and woe. Caroline Cosgrove.

MEDLEY Gertrude. Cynthia. By Alice Isabel Ingram In this world of hungry hearts. Each grasps far his moon. Some are never found at all. Others found too soon. Moons there are of happiness, Moons there are of fame; Every soul must have a moon. And many are the same. O, hearts there are that seek by night, And hearts that seek by day; But many do net try at all, And drop beside the way — Worn out with following by-paths. Turning off too soon. Losing their road to happiness. Losing their glimpse of the moon. Two hundred twenty-jive I Two liiDidicd twciity-aix SENIOR DIRECTORY Adams, Evelyn 2020 Devonshire Road, Ann Arbor, Mich.

Box 187, - Nashville Tennessee Music Will Complete the Joys o Your Home fmlAGNlFiCENT furniture, rare paintings, l==l and exquisite drapery are evidences of affluence and good taste ; but what do these things, beautiful as they may be, contrib- ute to the culture and happiness of the owner? That a house is wonderfully fur- nished does not by any means indicate that it is a happy home. Something more is re- quired, and that is music. Music from time immemorial has always been and still is the greatest entertainer the world has ever known. In the most beautiful homes, in the humblest abode, its influence is recognized. What a sad commentary to see a home without a musical instrument ! Then let us not forget the importance of a fine piano, a Duo-Art Reproducing Piano, OrthophonicVictrola or dependable Radiola. All of these as well as every musical requirement are available at Music Head- quarters upon most con- venient terms.
