MILESTONES PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS of the WARD-BELMONT SCHOOL 1928 NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE fiWWiW1 ' giHMr ' i rtrtrMi FOREWORD After hours of painstaking prep- aration, after innumerable heart- rending rehearsals and countless troublesome string entanglements, which at times seemed to threaten the success of the production, the overworked stage hands (that is to say, the MiiLESTONES Staff), with sighs of relief and a certain feeling of satisfaction, draw back the cur- tain to present to the students and the Faculty of Ward-Belmont the finished product — Dr. Blanton ' s Marionette Show. MISS EDNA IRWIN She is our friend. She is one of us. Our interests have become her interests, and to her we look for com- mendation. As the end of her first year at Ward- Belmont draws to a close, the Milestones Staff wishes to express the love and respect which the entire school holds for her by dedicating the 1928 volume of the Annual to our friend and Dean — Miss Edna Irwin. m- % Five NAMED NASHVILLE ' S FIRST CITIZEN Following- are excerpts from the arti- cle which appeared in the Nashville Ten- nessean, December 14, 1927 : Dr. John Diell Blanton. The name rang out through the Chamber of Commerce to-day at the meeting of that body ' s forum, and was met with a burst of applause from the crowd that had gathered to pay tribute to Nashville ' s ' leading citizen. ' Paid the highest honor which that body could bestow upon any one, the man who has played a leading part in the city ' s educational and civic life since coming here in 1892 as vice president of Ward Seminary was decorated with the laurel wreath of gratitude and his name emblazoned on the shield of service in a place second to none. In the selection of Dr. John Diell Blanton for this most unusual honor and recognizing the long and faithful service that he has rendered ta the city of Nash- ville, it might be said that his influence has extended far beyond the confines of the city and the immediate section in which he has rendered his work. Into every State in the Union and to foreign coun- tries his work has extended, for students who have come under his most excellent influence have gone into those far-flung spaces. Nor is his work ended yet. Years from now it will continue to make itself a factor in the lives of generation after generation, and its magnitude can- not be estimated. At the time he came to Ward Sem- inary the student body numbered 100. The growth has been steady. At the present time Ward-Belmont ' s student body numbers 980, including the board- ing pupils and day students, and the personnel of the student body represents thirty-six diff ' erent States. Following are excerpts from the arti- cle which appeared in the Nashville Ban- ner, Wednesday, December 14 : Dr. John Diell Blanton, president of Ward-Belmont for the past twelve years and for thirty-five years identified with the educational, civic, and religious life of Nashville, was honored by citizens at the monthly forum meeting of the Cham- ber of Commerce at noon to-day in recog- nition of the long and faithful service he has rendered this community. Although the forum committee mem- bers had withheld from the public the name of the citizen to be honored at the meeting until the program had advanced to a certain stage, the ovation accorded Dr. Blanton when he was conducted to the seat of honor at the speakers ' table gave undisputed evidence that those pres- ent approved the action of the forum leaders in arranging for the meeting and of their selection of a man whom the city would delight to honor. Charles C. Gilbert, chairman of the forum committee, presided. Taken completely by surprise and displaying characteristic modesty. Dr. Blanton was reluctant to assume the chair that had been reserved at the speakers ' table for him. When he could speak after mastering the emotion that had overpowered him following Judge Seay ' s announcement that he was the citizen the assemblage desired to hanor, Dr. Blanton said: ' It is altogether an honor unworthily bestowed, and it is too much. But I thank you from the bottom of my heart. ' In addition to the speeches and the spoken tributes for Dr. Blanton, resolu- tions drafted by the Chamber of Com- merce were presented him by Dr. James I. Vance, his pastor. They were en- graved and framed. The principal address was delivered by Dr. John L. Hill, book editor of the Baptist Sunday School Board, who spoke on ' What One Citizen May Mean to the Upbuilding of a Community.

What fun ! How easy that will be, and how cute ! And then we started ! We planned the parts, we composed the acts, we dressed the little dolls and tied the strings. We labored hard to stand the tiny paper trees and cardboard furniture. Never were stage hands more worried or more discouraged, but now we see the result of our efforts. We hope that long after the last puppet has jerked her last bow and received her last tiny bouquet you will think a thankful thought for the stage hands.

Once we, too, were just learning what each pulling string meant. We were stiff and slow, but now we dance and bob around with grace and never tan- gle our strings nor miss our cues. We fill many parts and wear the dain- tiest and fluffiest costumes in the green room. We may be most up-stage, but we have reached the highest art of a marionette and are about to listen to the louder call bell of the world outside. Tiuenty-five MARY KATE ANDERSON Do you want to hear some delightful talking — some that only a true Mississippian can bring forth ? Right here we have Mary Kate Anderson. She not only talks, but she says something. And even when she isn ' t saying one word (phenomenon?), you are still mighty glad that you can look at her and imagine yourself with her pretty blond hair, A. K. Club. VIRGINIA BAIRD When I hear a gentle rapping, tapping at my chamber door, it ' s — wrong again ! — it ' s Baird demanding hoarsely: Got anything to eat? We do not wonder that it takes many vitamins to keep this human dynamo going, small a she is ; for there is no end to her accomplishments. She can ride, hock, basket- bawl, and dance with such agility and grace that she ranks high among our Senior Physical Eds. F. F. Club ; Vice President of F. F. Club ; President of Alabama Club. NELL BANKS Little Nell has interests in Nashville besides Auntie, but she does not let them interfere with school activi- ties. Sometimes you think that the only interest she has in the world is swatting that little hockey ball — which she always does — yet you know there are a thousand things which share that enthusiasm. Your ver- satility, Nell, is obvious. And Miss Morrison isn ' t the only one who praises your form. T. C. Club ; Secretary-Treasurer of Arkansas Club. Twenty-six INEZ BARNES The powers that be knew what they were about when they gave Inez a seat on the front row in chapel you know we just must make a good impression on our various Vesper speakers ; and who could better qual- ify for a front pew than Inez, with her black hair, her creamy skin, and those attentive eyes, which make the lecturer feel he ' s really getting thoughts across ? Tri-K. Club. ELIZABETH BARTHELL Well, for goodness sake ! It ' s hard to put Dibbie down in black and white. She ' s rather hard to define; but we all say, with much emphasis, she has personality, pep, and popularity — plus. As for out- side interests — here ' s to you, Dibbie! Long may Vandy be upheld! Triad Club ; Business Manager of Milestones ; Proctor Student Council, ' 27. KATHERINE BATTERMAN Katherine is one of those people we admire, because she gets good grades, and we like, because she doesn ' t rub it in. Katherine has a wonderful disposition all round. If every one in Chicago were like her, there wouldn ' t be any riots. Now that Katherine can successfully do her hair up, we look at her enviously. A. K. Club. T%venty -seven CATHERINE BLACKMAN Every school has its ideal. Ward-Belmont has Cat Blackman. Cute, riotous, absolutely fair and square, a true sport, all fit her. Her enthusiasm is contagious, and there ' s a magnetism that draws us all to her. Truly, she is ensemble girl. Cat has had a prominent part in everything, from basketball to being President of the Council and leading the Seniors in their songs. And don ' t you think her Georgie Porgie will make a hit on the playgrounds ? Tri-K. Club ; General Proctor, ' 27 ; Y. W. C. A. Cabinet ; President of Student Council. ' 28. MARION BLACKMAN You can just look at Marion and tell she ' s athletic. It was she who enticed us into the Athletic Asso- ciation. Marion is also one of these marvelous dancers who has been on the stage ' n ' everything. But I have my own pet envy about her. Nobody has ever done more than sling mud at my profile. How I wish I had hers ! A. K. Club ; Treasurer of A. K. Club ; Treasurer of Athletic Association. BERNICE BOOZER Brown eyes and dark hair — that is very happyfying, indeed ; for. as the saying goes, Gentlemen prefer blondes, but marry brunettes ; and Bernice is just the kind to make ' em stagger. Since that doesn ' t keep her very busy around W.-B., she has devoted her time and excess energy to Physical-Eding and being the Bunnice we all love. Tri-K. Club. Twenty-eight MARION BORDO Marion is the kind of sirl that men cry for. She is our idea of a fascinating Pierrette capturing one heart with a full glow from her big brown eyes and breaking another with the stamp of her toot. But the fact that we also like her is strongly in her favor; for we, not the B. F.. have found out how very, very nice she is, all coquetry aside. Osiron Club. MARY VIRGINIA BRABSTON She ' s friendly, she ' s cute — and she ' s in love but she doesn ' t object, ' cause she loves Stone, you want to. Has she a sunshiny disposition ' ? F. F. Club. That ' s Mary Gin! She has been called Ivory Dome, Have you ever heard Mary Gin play the piano ' ; Well, Well, ask me another ! See below for Mrs. Got-rocks. MAYRE BRANDON Was it Coheechee or Instant Postum that made her what she is to-day? All testimonies aside, it is obvious that the President of the A. A. is very busy and very popular. When she isn ' t Physical-Eding, she finds time to make us all like her, and we look with pleasure every time Mary ' s curly head heaves into view. Eccowasin Club ; President of Athletic Association. Tiventy-nine BETH BRUSH There was an unreal, goody-goody Beth in Little Women, but Ward-Belmont ' s Beth is of quite a differ- ent type. Our Beth is very real, and cuts up as much as any Senior is expected to. We like her much better than Louisa Alcott ' s heroine, and because she always lends a hand we do not despair that she, too, will some day go to heaven. Anti-Pandora. IRENE BROWN Who is that girl on Second Floor Senior wha every night calls out: Betty Jane, will you call me at three-thirty in the morning ? Of course you ' re right — Irene Brown ! It seems that she believes the early bird catches the worm : and this must be true, because, believe me, Irene sho ' got more ' n her share of (no, not worms) those good grades. She also has more than her share of long curls. Tri-K. Club ; President of Wisconsin Club. MARY BRIDGFORTH vise and amused, and once in a while she tells you ' Cheese always looks so wise and amused, and once in a while she tells you what she ' s thinking about. It may be wondering about what ' s happening in her Old Kentucky Home. or what that Psych, quiz will be about, or who is listening to her play the piano over the radio, ling, and surely lives up to her trade-mark. Anti-Pandora. ' Cheese comes from Mount Ster- Thiriy HELEN BUCHANAN Helen is another one of those much-envied day students. Every one who meets her instantly falls in love with hei ' charming appearance and lovely Southern manner. Is it fair for one girl to have so much sweet- ness ? There ' s one thing about Helen, though : she ' s willing to share her sweetness with others. Eccowasin Club. VIRGINIA BUSH Getting copy for the Hyphen is one of Virginia ' s chief worries : and when there isn ' t enough, she just sits down and writes the whole paper, and every one thinks it the best one in weeks. Not satisfied with being superlative mentally, Virginia flaunts her naturally golden hair, soap-ad complexion, and baby-blue eyes to. the envy of all. But Achilles has his heel; Virginia can ' t swim! Del Ver ; Editor of Hyphen. LOUISE BUTLER Some clever person, who evidently knew Louise, said: It ' s the little things that count. Louise hails from the Bam-Bam-Bammy shore, and we are glad to know they raise ' em like that down there. Among other things, Louise paints things as she sees them : and that ' s the way we see them, too. But after all ' s said and done, there ' s only one thing that matters — everybody likes her. A. K. Club. Thirty- one DOROTHY CAMPBELL O, how I wish that L too, could be Braceful like Dorothy ! She ' s what I call gracefully athletic, ' cause she can hang from ropes without looking like a monkey and swing Indian clubs without knocking herself flooey. Dot has the power of concentration, with which she gets all her lessons in half an hour and adjourns to spend the rest of study hall in the arms of Morpheus. F. F. Club ; Vice President of Illinois Club. ERMA CARLTON Lots of people have made their way by the amount of noise they have produced, but Erma gets there on merit alone. Some of you may think Erma is subdued, but, take my word for it, she can have the giggles and chase around as well as any one. We ' d like to tell you how pretty she is, but poetry doesn ' t rank among our literary accomplishments. Tri-K. Club : Proctor of Fidelity, ' 27. MARY ELIZABETH CAYCE Cayce and Twinkle are about as prominent on the ole campus as the tower itself. In fact, Cayce says that when she leaves here she feels quite sure the tower will fall, because the other firm pillar has been taken away. That ' s Cayce, though. If ever two words suited a person, loyalty and sincerity certainly belong to her. She ' s quite human, too. Ask her sometime how she sprained her ankle this win- ter. Good story, Cayce! Angkor ; President of Day Student Council, ' 27 ; Archery Manager of A. A. Thirty-tivo MARGARET CHAPMAN Margaret is from Bahston (not Bawston). and can write poetic descriptions of the sea, the clouds, and the storm worthy of any Bostonian intelligensia. That ' s Margaret. But most people know Billy better — Billy, the athlete, a grand dancer, and who is doing her best to make 381 Founders look like The Old Curiosity Shop. I never knew two girls I admired so much. A. K. Club. EUNETTA CLOUSE Eunetta is one of those people whom we like immensely without knowing just why. To have known her here at school has been one of our greatest pleasures ; but when we have to dissect her pleasing personality, it eludes us. But ask any of the Seniors, and they will assure you that Eunetta is just the kind of a girl that they like. Eccowasin Club. VIRGINIA COOPER When I see Pie, I always think of a gentle, cuddly little kitten whose purr has that fascinating Geor- gia drawl. But Virginia isn ' t all cuddles : she has a determination and a will which have given her such executive success. Some day Pie will be a Marguerite Clark, whose public will reward her tor long hours of expression training. Then won ' t we be proud to have known her ! Anti-Pandora ; Vice President of Anti-Pandora Club ; President of Georgia Club. Thirty-three VIRGINIA GRAIN Where was Virginia last year ? She was here, but not the same Virginia. Still retiring, but she has her say. She is cute-looking and sweet. Genteel — that ' s it ; black, straight hair, grayish-brown eyes, attractive clothes. And is a table hostess — what about those huge helpings ? I sat there once. Osiron Club. BETTY DAVIDSON Now, I ' m no worshiper of Pollyannas, but I do know that there is one person in school whose grin chases all my blues away. So we voted Betty Happy in our A. B. C. contest ; and, believe me, we were all happy when Betty bree zed in from Texas and brightened our campus. Why, even Betty ' s curly bob seems in a perpetual good humor. More power to you, Betty ! Anti-Pandora Club. EVELYN DOBBS Evelyn may know all about Oklahoma tepees and tomahawks, but that ' s hardly the setting we would imagine for her. She ' s really more of a flower from an old bouquet. But when it comes to fitting into settings, we really aren ' t worried at all about Evelyn, ' cause hasn ' t she played (yes, well, too) everything from the Lady of the Portrait to the Jilted Arcadian Lover for Miss Townsend? Agora Club. Thirty-four VIRGINIA DONALDSON It must be versatility and ability combined to make Virginia what she is. Think of it ! She has the individual distinction of being the only second-year college Latin student ! Also we all certainly admire her crowning glory, which is the envy of the school. O, yes, we hear she became so musically inclined that a hidden victrola caused her appearance at Monitor ' s meeting. Agora Club. CLARA DORCHESTER Just wait till Clara says something, then try and keep a straight face. It can ' t be done ! That slow, Southern, monotonous drawl gets you every time, and her dry humor — it ' s irresistible ! If you ' re looking for a good laugh, just get Clara started. She ' s a charter member of the Wordsmiths, a coming author. She may be a little hard to get acquainted with, but when you do — she ' s a darn good kid ! Osiron Club ; Wordsmith. MARGARET ELLEN DOUTY There is nothing horsey about our broncho buster, ' cause if there were, we would never have elected her our Student Council President. Yes, she won the horse show, is Senior Physical Ed., and a marvel- ous athlete, and has a grand disposition, and the prettiest hair and dimples, and a miraculous memory (see Miss Morrison), and excites mobs of crushes: but, then, of course, all this is a mere trifle! X. L. Club : President of Student Council, ' 27 : Winner, Thanksgiving horse show. Thirty-five LOUISE DREYFUS This is one of the last that we ever thought would be back with us this year, but she ' s here, and very much so. This is a loyal Senior, always up and at ' em, in for anything. She ' s clever and artistic, and her looks — she ' s different — dark hair, dark eyes, dark skin, a tall, slender brunette, like a girl in an old masterpiece — judge for yourself. Osiron Club. HELEN DUDENBOSTEL Every time we see an awfully cute and strikingly different dress that we ' d just love to have, tripping across the campus, we know that Helen Dudenbostel is inside of it. But even if she were the ragpicker ' s daughter, we would have to stop and admire her lovely golden hair. Helen is useful as well as ornamental, for she makes the honor roll continually. Agora Club. MARTHA EATHERLY An athlete ? Well, I hope to say ! Any day student who comes to play baseball at a Senior 6 A.M. prac- tice deserves the kampus kat. Yep, she ' s some athlete. Why, when she goes to a masquerade, she just drags out all the athletic letters she ' s won hither and yon and goes as the alphabet. Triad Club. Thirty-six - JUNE EDMONDSON Have you ever seen such hair and such eyes — well, such a girl? No. we haven ' t, either. She ' s just as successful in everything she does as she is in making that ole piano talk — and she cav do it — that ' s what I mean. Doesn ' t that name just make you think of roses and moonlight and love? Uh-huh. June, it surely does. T. C. Club. MARGARET ELLIOTT It just doesn ' t seem fair that one girl should have such gorgeous, big. blue eyes and curly hair. We certainly were worried when Margaret didn ' t come back, but when she did — well ! ! The Tri-K. ' s had a tea, and why shouldn ' t they? She ' s musical, she ' s peppy and cute. She hails from Illinois, too, and how! Tri-K. Club. FRANCES EWING And now present none other than Frances Ewing, the Psych. shark. When it comes to child study, you can just bet Miss Ewing can tell us what it ' s all about. But Frances isn ' t merely a good student, she ' s a good sport as well. She goes out and gives her best in everything, and you can rest well assured that whatever she starts will be well finished. Triad Club. Thirty-seven MARY EWING If our friend, the Inquiring Reporter, were trying to find out just who amongst us had the most vivid natural complexion, he would discover Mary Ewing. That may be from the cool Colorado mountains : but her wavy, black hair, dazzling teeth, and disposition were, indeed, a gift of the gods. She ' s only been here one year, but that ' s all it takes to make us like her. Osiron Club. SARA EWING Sarah ' s chief care right now seems to be in letting her tresses grow. And we don ' t see how she has done it ! It ' s easy enough for the boarders to accomplish the feat during the nine months of — well, hiber- nating, shall we say? But for a day student who is out in the civilized world all the time — we take our hats off to you, Sarah ! Angkor Club. ELIZABETH FINCH One never knows how many celebrities and outstanding people there are right around here till she stops to think, and Finch is one that we couldn ' t miss. Did you ever see her bowl? That ' s something to see. Just go down sometime and watch her. But that ' s characteristic of Finch, for everything she says and does is right to the point. Here ' s to you, Finch ! Tri-K. Club. Thirty-eight MAXINE FLETCHER When you see that curly head come up, you know something is Koing to be said. And can she say it? Ask the History students. But history isn ' t all she can talk about. I know she can hold her own in the drawing room or on the dance floor just as well. How do I know it? Look at that picture above, please, and don ' t forget that Penta Tau special and how she did shine ! Penta Tau Club ; Vice President of Texas Club. ALICE ORK FORGY Every one likes Alice, and for a very good reason. She shows in every word and deed that she uses her mind to good advantage. She talks slowly ; but hang on tight, for all of a sudden you ' ll realize just how funny or how true something she ' s saying is. The teachers beam on Alice and her report card, which around here, as we all know, is something most unusual. Anti-Pandora Club. MARY HELEN FOULDS Tootie Foulds herself. (O, she docs, does she? Can ' t you break her of it?) Well, how much more have you lost, Tootie? It takes a lot of will power to diet, so Tootie must have it. That ' s only half of it. She ' s good-natured and gentrous — anything she has is yours. This is a true friend — she ' s just what we mean by a peach of a girl. Del Ver Club ; Vice President of Council, ' 27 ; Sunday School Committee of Y. W. Thirty-nine BEVERLY FREELAND And, who is this but our own Fanny Brice? And, b ' lieve it or not, our blues singrer has so much it when she wails out My Man that we call it those! She has red hair, pep, brains, style, and maybe she isn ' t as full of jazz as a six-piece orchestra ! Bev is responsible for all the rich humor in this master- piece of literature ; so givver the big hand ! Agora Club ; Milestones Staff. KATHERINE GABLE How does Katherine manage to betray her looks as she does ? That ' s the question ! She ' s more fun than a little bit — and giggle ? Well ! But she appears to be as calm and reserved as a church house. We guess perhaps it must be her brain weighed down with knowledge that makes her seem so. And that ' s not all — Katherine can flaunt her lovely curls to the envy of the world. Agora Club. DOROTHEA GILBERT Vo-do-dee-o-do — and I mean I ' m really going to town ! Why, of course, that ' s Gilbie, the tall Tri-K. President from Indiana. Did you ever see her in action doing the Indiana Hop ? Well, she puts just that much into everything she does — and what Gilb accomplishes. Between hockey, basketball, and other trivialities Gilb finds time to do something. She just adores to shop — especially for birthday presents for other people. Tri-K. ; President of Tri-K. Club. Forty MARY ELEANOR GILMORE President of the Y, so you know what a grand girl she has to be. No, she isn ' t a prid, either — you soon find that out when you hear her giggle. The Hyphen- put her down tor having a cute figure, she makes good grades, is Y President, good-looking, brilliant, and has lots of fun. Why, it sounds like a fairy story, but it isn ' t — such a person is among us, and she ' s a knock-out. Tri-K. Club ; President of Y. W. C. A. ; Wordsmith. KATHRYN GLASFORD Kathryn Isabel Glasford is a mighty huge name for such a little girl, but we might be tempted to call her that when we speak of her many capabilities, her brains, and her fine Hyphen work ; but when we think of our friend and fellow student, we must call her Kig, ' cau.se that is the only name that can pos- sibly fit this fun-loving, wise-cracking little girl who hails from Illinois. A. K. Club; Assistant Editor of Hyphen; Milestones Staff. WARDINE GOOD Hey bebe — why, of course, that ' s Wardine Good ! You know, the Senior up on third floor who is always getting caught in some crazy predicament by Miss Morrison, the tall blonde that looks like a dream come true. That ' s she ! Where is she from ? Well — er — we ' d rather not say • but if you insist, she ' s from Hamburg, Iowa — you know, Hamburg, as in Hamburger ! T. C. Club ; Vice President of Iowa Club. Forty-one NOVICE GRAVES Last year Novice was a boarder and one of the active members in the Anti-Pandora Club, but this year she decided that she would rather be a day student ; and though we ' re sorry we don ' t see her as much, we know that she is having a mighty good time. Having known that Sunday-afternoon feeling last year. Novice helps the rest of us with auto rides. Angkor Club. EMMA ELIZABETH GREENE Just ask Dibby — her recommendation is perfect, and it isn ' t flattery, either. Emma Liz is now Pres- ident of the Day Student Council, has held every other office in the school at various times, and is a dandy sport, too. She ' s quiet, but what she says is somethinff. She goes out for everything athletic— well, too much can ' t be said. Ariston Club ; President of Day Student Council. ELEANOR GRAY Eleanor is a fortunate girl, in that she has found her type ; and a wise one, in that she has developed it until she is our idea of a modern Mona Lisa. But you can only look at said Mona Lisa, while you can also find in Eleanor a voice that any Italian would envy. Seniors. Mighty glad you came back, Eleanor. T. C. Club ; Social Service Committee of Y. W. C. A. Eleanor is also one of our most intellectual Forty-two IDA GRIFFIN Some are born smart. etc. : but that i.s as far as we have to go. ' cause we know that Ida ' s mind just naturally is made better than yours or mine. It may be because once in a while she studies, or it may be Dr. Hollingshcad ' s winning personality ; but it ' s a fact that Ida has developed such a love for Ho O, H2 SO4, etc., that she spends long hours in the Chem. Lab. Yes, Ida, it ' s a gift ! Triad Club. ELIZABETH GWALTNEY We ' ve heard Liz sing at recitals and we ' ve heard her sing while she washes her ears, and we ' ll vouch for anything from Carmen to Diane. Liz also swings a mean fountain pen when it comes to short stories. Besides, she is so full of pep. and little, and cute: and we know that Cinderella could never have squeezed into her tiny, spike-heeled pumps. Agora Club ; Treasurer of Wordsmiths. TINA MAE HAWES Tiny May must have absorbed about everything there is to absorb of Ward-Belmont in all these years, for she must have been taught how to walk by Miss Morrison and how to teethe by Miss Sisson. It ' s too bad the Titlans do not inculde day students among their number, for Tina Mae could outshine all others. We ' re glad Tina Mae is a Senior, but W.-B. won ' t be the same without her next year. Triad Club. Forty-three FLORENCE HAYES Just take a look at that cute dress in the snap below and ask us if Florence is stylish ! But that isn ' t the half of it. She pulls down those fairy-story grades with the same case with which she makes her way high up in the ranks of our tennis stars. She also is an athlete, cute to talk to, drives a huge car, and — well, what more do you want ? Triad Club. VIRGINIA LEE HICKS Some one said Virginia Lee looked like a toy-shop doll, but they don ' t make dolls with lustrous brown eyes like hers. And though she isn ' t much of a talking doll, we ' ll all admit that her mixture of giggle and stutter always sorta gets you, anyway. We don ' t doubt that she will get the nicest tin soldier in the toy shop. Penta Tau ; Treasurer of Penta Tau Club. MARION HUBBELL She ' s a new girl this year, but you would never know it now. She ' s one of the best Seniors in the class — always there, always an asset. She ' s one of the sweetest girls in the class, too ; isn ' t boisterous, but far from blank. She talks when she has something to say. She expresses herself admirably on the stage. Well, we wish she could have been here last year, but she has certainly placed herself with us now. Osiron Club. Forty-four a; - ■ ' ht CATHERINE HUGHES She doesn ' t bother you with an incessant chattering, but she doesn ' t need to with eyes like those ; and she doesn ' t ogle, either. Did you pro to the Osiron dance? Well, she was general chairman! You ' ll believe me then when I say that she is capability itself. Only one fault — she was so conscientious that she asked Mrs. Jeter if she could keep a cake she got from home ! Osiron Club. HELEN HYNDS Did you ever see Helen play basketball or ride a horse? If you haven ' t — well, we ' re awfully sorry. Besides being the little old athlete, Helen is no slouch when it comes to studying. We who are in her classes realize that. Helen is another one of our prize actresses, and she surely knows her drammer ! She comes from out yonder in Colorado, where men are men and women are wows, judging from Helen. Del Ver Club. LILLIE WILLIAMS JACKSON Did you ever want something done real well? Did you ever want some one to talk to? And did you ever see a person who was always ready to be up and at them for you, like Bill? Just ask the girl who knows her ! She can head the Y. W. Entertainment Committee with the same vim that she leads the Tri-K. ' s cheering or packs her ol ' tennis racquet; but one would expect it of Bill Jackson. Tri-K. Club ; Manager of Athletic Association : Y. W. C. A. Cabinet ; Chairman of Y. W. Entertainment Committee. Forty-five INA JANSEN We must tell you what a pet we have in Senior. Due to teething maybe she didn ' t take her break- fast in bed, listen to Mrs. Charlie ' s radio hours at a time, and drink home-brew orangeade. Some people just naturally rate — that ' s all there is to it. Wisdom teeth do have their good points now and then. P. F. Club. VIOLA POWER JAY Now, kids you just yotta be still while we introduce Viola Power Jay. She ' s really all her name implies — in fact, all we could want in one little ole Indiana gal. Not only is she unaffected, versatile, and a good sport, but she ' s more fun than a barrel of monkeys. D ' ja ever hear the knock-kneed, bow- legged, hair-ribbon story? It takes our Senior President to be everything from Robin Hood to a Viking King and still find time to be — the most popular girl in school ! X. L. Club : President of Senior Class ; Y. W. Cabinet. HELENE JOHNSON It is hard to find a person who combines an artistic temperament with practical efficiency. Helene surely has learned this art, and that is why she excels not only in her expression work, but in her daily studies as well. We envy such a well-balanced personality as she exhibits to us. A. K. Club. Forty -six MELBA JOHNSON We all BO to Vespers as — er — force of habit, and sometimes we take naps, and sometimes — but think of the things that might have been ! Then we thank Melba. Melba goes in for everything, comes out on top — judging from her grades, her Milestones work, the Vespers programs, and the many friends she has on the campus. Osiron Club ; Y. W. Vespers Committee Chairman ; Secretary of Osiron ; Milestones Staff. MAURINE JACOBSEN If you don ' t think she can do things, ask some of the girls who went to the Iowa Club St. Patrick ' s luncheon to tell you about it. Well, you ' ll hear some raving — not only about the luncheon, but about the attractive club President, Maurine Jacobsen. Besides being attractive and capable, she ' s a T. C. — we thought so — that combination is enough for us, too. T. C. Club ; President of Iowa Club. ANNE JOHNSTON Anne has a lingo all her own, but she can change from being Anne to being any one else Miss Town- send expects so deftly that we wonder how she always returns to her own dynamic personality. Anne talks in superlatives, and we are forced to do so, too, when trying to describe her. She ' s one of the most differentest and most attractivest girls in school. X. L. Club ; Treasurer of X. L. Club ; President of Missouri Club ; Member of Membership Committee of Y. W. Forty-seven DOROTHY M. JONES We never saw such a walk on such a little girl, and never such a grin. Why shouldn ' t she grin, when she rates all the high marks? Dot was Chapel Proctor (Shhh!), and now — Hey, we want your picture for The Milestones! She plays tennis and baseball like nobody, and can she swim? (Nope, she can ' t.) But ask Dot to do something — you can bank on Miss Zealous for anything any time, and that quality is hard to beat. Ptnta Tau Club ; Chapel Proctor, ' 27 ; Milestone;s Reporter ; Treasurer of Le Cercle Francais. MARTHA JOSLIN There is something so intriguing about Martha ' s slow, musical voice that every one loves to hear her recite. It may be the voice that so intrigues the teachers into handing out good grades, but we rather think that what she says, as well as how she says it, counts a lot. Martha has a gift at making her hair just the soft, wavy brown that we so admire. Ariston Club. MARGARET KESSLER First, what would Council have done without its Secretary ? Second, what would the T. C. Athletes have accomplished without their Manager ? Thirdly, what would Miss Sisson do without this noble Phys. Ed. ? Fourthly, what would Erma do without her friend roommate? And, lastly (but not leastly), what would the whole school have done without this most attractive girl? Blundie, we ' re sure we don ' t know! T. C. Club ; Secretary of Student Council, ' 27. Forty-eight NAOMI KILGORE Naomi is surely plenty friendly. We ' re all familiar with her crin. As for her hair. Naomi ' s hair is just the right shade of red. She ' s a true Titian. Then another asset is that she comes from that mueh- bragged-about State of Florida. Don ' t let them kid you about your hair or State, Naomi ; they ' re just envious. X. L. Club. EMILY KROUSE No, nobody could say that Emily was a gold digger, but it ' s a cinch she has the proper methods of hoarding in the paltry allowances of the Anti-Pans to good advantage. Besides drawing money out of the bank, Emily is most adept at drawing all kinds of things for Miss Shackelford. She also has that other drawing trait which gives her so many friends. Anti-Pandora Club : Treasurer of Anti-Pandora Club. CATHERINE LEAVITT Along about the middle of January there was a big commotion in Middle March which sounded as if every girl in school were making kindling wood out of all the posts in the old haunt. But no — every one was just overjoyed that Catherine had decided to desert Oklahoma and join the ranks of W.-B. again. To say we were glad would be putting it mildly ; but, Catherine, you know what we mean. X. L. Club. Forty-nine MARGARET ALICE LOWE We always knew we liked Maggie, but it took the superlatives of the new girls last fall to show us how much she really means. We like Maggie ' s looks, and we like the way she talks and writes. Mag- gie is a deep thinker and holds her opinions. Maggie is serious enough to get things done, but — O, my! can ' t she rave and make a racket and dance the Indiana ! Osiron Club ; President of Wordsmiths ; Treasurer of Senior Class ; Business Manager of Hyphen. ANN LOWRY What is that bright and shining star in our midst? It is Ann, of course. Besides her good looks, she has brains. Did yQU ever stop to think when you saw Ann just how big a brain that our little girl is car- rying ? She ' s certainly energetic to commute to and from school. Angkor Club. JULIA LEIGH LYNNE This is one cute girl who just goes with one cute name. We know the name will change in the course of events, but we want Julia Leigh to stay just like she is. We wonder if it is possible for any one to have more expressive eyes fringed by longer eyelashes or a more attractive face set off by lovelier blond hair. F. F. Club. % Fiftxj MARTHA LINDSEY Isn ' t she cute? Isn ' t she sweet? She ' s ' bout all— she is all— a precious girl can be. Who? Martha! Did you ever see so much dignity come in one little package? Have you ever seen her when she was ■•carrying on with some of the girl friends? And can she talk? Speaking of talking, have you ever watched Martha ' s tongue ? Anyway, we luv ' the little Arkansas President — Martha ! Penta Tau Club ; President of Arkansas Club. REBECCA LIONBERGER The X. L. ' s surely made a valuable asset to their club when they pledged Rebecca as one of their mem- bers. But she is also an asset to the whole school. There is hair and hair, but I assure you that the kind I most admire is her long, curly, golden mass which makes a halo for her face. We can ' t imagine why she left co-edom, but we ' re glad she did. X. L. Club. OLIVE LOGAN The S. S. G. at least, she gives that impression. But she ' s wearing a Delt pin, so what does that make her? She ' s President of the X. L., an ardent Wordsmith, and was the Martha Washington; so you know she must be precious. But she ' s more than just that— she ' s a true friend, she ' s efficient, her grades aren ' t sneezed at, and when you are with her, doesn ' t she make you feel like you are just it? Doc is one of the best-liked girls on the campus. X. L. Club ; President of X. L. Club ; Wordsmith. II IBWiiWIJlUllM I IIIIMM Fifty-one LUCILLE MACHIELS We all luv ' these Titian-headed girls, and who can better qualify for some of our love than Luke? ' Cause she has all those admirable qualities that go with red hair. She ' s quite the dernier cri in Mad- emoiselle ' s classes ; but if you really want to hear some powerful raving:, just get some of her many friends or her loquacious suite mates started on her ! A. K. Club : Vice President of Titians ; Secretary of Le Cercle Frangais. BETTY MARK And now we come to the biggest owl of all the Osiron owlets. Some may never say anything, but not this one — and talk! Just let Betty get her hands on a telephone (and Tom at the other end of the wire, of course), and anybody can vouch for her ability in these lines. That ' s all right, Betty. We all have our weaknesses and not half your goodnesses. Everything from hockey to a musical ball is play to this peppy lil ' Osiron President ! Ojiron Club ; President of Osiron Club. KATHERINE MAXWELL Another one of these Texas gals! And is she there? Hey, hey; I ' ll say! She ' s ju t as cute as they make ' em, and she ' s got a brain besides. Now, isn ' t that a combination? We have been worried about Katherine, ' cause she ' s been studying so terribly hard : but we know that this summer she ' s bound to make up for it with a whalei of a good time out where men are men, but have a weakness for such as Katherine. Penta Tau Club. Fifty-two JANE McCULLOUGH I want to tell you about one of the steadiest, joUiest, best-loved girls in school. O, you guessed it ! Of course, it ' s Jane McCuilough ! Even if Jane is pleasingly plump, it isn ' t her fault. Just ask her friends, who call her fire boss because she must start from the dining room at the first tap of the bell. Can ' t put her in words. She ' s just our own sweet Jane — and that ' s enough for any one. T. C. Club ; Proctor of Senior, ' 28. GLADYS MacDONALD Of course, Gladys is about as nice as they ' re made, ' cause she ' s on the Milestones Staff! (Ahem!) But this is only one part of her. Besides being literary, Gladys is getting ready for a good husband in her Home Ec. studies. And we know she ' ll get one, ' cause her brown eyes are like Bebe Daniels ' , and htr voice is — well, all her own ! T. C. Club ; President of Oklahoma Club ; Milestones Reporter. PAULINE Mcdonald Some say Pauline is the most-talkcd-of girl on the campus. Well, if she isn ' t, she ought to be ! Seniors love to be with her, Senior-Mids want to be with her, and Preps worship from afar. Picture any setting that is beautiful, and Pauline fits right into the scheme of things. We ' ll tell you a bio secret — you know Polly has certain interests in the Lone Star State, and she ' s making a cook book ! Penta Tau Club; Art Editor of Milestones; Y. W. C. A. Cabinet; Chairman of Y. W. Art Committee. Fifty-three BETTY JANE McNUTT Got anything to eat, Betty? Yes, she always has, and always offers it — generosity itself. And that ' s not all ; she ' d do anything in the world for you. You can always bank on Betty in your hour of need. (F ' rinstance, to wake you at 3 A.M.) What wouldn ' t we give for her hair — curly and long enough to do up (after a year ' s growth) ! Betty Jane, you ' re right there! X. L. Club. ETHEL MARY McLEAN Never will I think of Ward-Belmont without thinking of the St. Louis Blues, and never will I think of them without longing to hear Shorty jazz out her syncopation. Also he was her man, but he didn ' t done her wrong. Have you seen all those ciorciemis things that her fiance has sent her ? Love is grand, particularly when it has a pocketbook ! Osiron Club. MARY JANE MacPHAIL Can she sing? Well, I hope to tell you she can. Proof? Just ask Mrs. Charlie or the First-Floor Senior girls. She ' s an F. F., and a mighty popular one, ' cause when she calls roll in club she gets the heartiest of smiles from every one, and that ' s pretty fine. Well, why not? She ' s a mighty fine girl. F. F. Club ; Secretary of F. F. Club. Fifty-four LILLY MEADORS We wish Lilly didn ' t have to devote so much time to Home Ec, ' cause we would really like to see more of this attractive day student who in the short time she is on the campus shines forth so gallantly in Psych. class. We have learned from Lilly ' s autobiography and several other reliable sources that she has a darling brother. We ' ve about decided it runs in the family. Angkor Club. ELEANOR MEEK M-O-D-E-R-N spells Eleanor Meek in our way of thinking. Ellie wears the newest clothes, she says the latest things, and she can do the Indiana. What more do you want? But there is more. Have you ever noticed Ellie ' s eyes ? Well, she ' s beautiful and modern — that ' s all ! Agora Club ; Treasurer of Agora Club. LUCILLE MOXLEY Would you like to be introduced to one of the sweetest girls in school? All right. We ' ll take you straight to Lucille Moxley, ' cause she ' s right there. She doesn ' t make a lot of noise, but when you look at her for a while, you know just how the Belle of W.-B. really should be. Whoa! We ' most forgot to say she ' s from Texas. You ' re welcome. Come again. Penta Tau ; Vice President of Penta Tau Club. Fifty-five CARLYN NATHAN You can just see executive ability and authority written all over this much-liked President of the West Virginia Club. Is she level-headed? Watch her play basketball sometime. You never see her make any wild, uncalled-for plays. You just know to look at her that she makes honor-roll grades all the time. She ' s worth looking up if you don ' t already know her. F. F. Club. DORIS NATHAN Doris is grinning around this year more than she did last year, if that is possible. She may be little, but oftentimes it is the little one who is the mighty one. She ' s not a bit slow, either, especially in her studies. We ' re mighty proud to have her one of our Seniors. Osiron Club. PEARL NAYLOR Isn ' t she a good ole girl? We reckon that must be because she is from Oklahoma, ' cause these ole Okla- homa girls have a way of getting around. Another thing in her favor is that she has that skin you love to touch, and she ' s cheerfulness itself. Also, we ' ll never forget her, will we, Pauline ? ' Nuff said ! Agora Club. Fifty-six ARGIE NEIL Is R. G. an ole sissy? Well, no! She ' s got it! What I mean is, she has charm, personality, and style ; and, besides that, she has the ole fight. If we want to know what ' s happeninK out in the world, we go to Neil, because we know she ' s right in the swim of thinfjs. Whether Argie ' s in the new Cadillac or the S. A. E. ' s high-powered chariot — well. Hi Roy ! Neil ' s right there I Triad Club. BETTY NEWCOMER Well, we have just one thing to say on this subject. Oklahoma lost a mighty fine girl and W.-B. gained one when Betty came back to school this year. And aren ' t we glad? Hey, hey! And. by the way, take a look at those eyes. We thought so. She caught you, too, didn ' t she? Agora Club. DOT NICHOLS There ' s no one I ' d rather share a joke with than Dor ' thy. Her laugh is irresistible; and as she laughs most of the time, you know what an irresistible person she is. Dot is also preparing to keep the home fires burning ; and if it ' s ' anything from fudge made in the room to a six-course dinner, we know how Dot shines. And tennis — O, well, why bring that up ? Treasurer of T. C. Club. Fifty-seven FRANCES OBERTHIER What wouldn ' t I give to have Fanny ' s long blond hair ! But putting all the Goldilocks business aside, we find that lotiahic is Fanny ' s middle name. She can be sweet without being saccharine, beautiful without being aloof, and a big lot of mischief without getting caught. There is no one on earth that is like Fanny except — just Fanny. Penta Tau ; Treasurer of Texas Club. FRANCES O ' DONNELL O-o-o-o-o-h ! What ' s that noise? Why, that ' s Don, the star Expression student, practicing her latest role. Anybody can do lots of things, but it takes Don to do lots of things well — i. e., being Editor of Milestones, Council Member, athlete, and the synonym of executive ability. Every one knows Don, and, knowing her, loves her. Why not? She ' s witty, peppy, and — well, what ' s the use? She ' s everything splendid. T. C. Club ; Editor in Chief of Milestones ; Y. W. C. A. Cabinet ; Second Vice President of Council, ' 2V. ALLIE BELLE O ' MOHUNDRO We ' ve wondered why Miss Townsend gives Allie Belle so many disappointed-lover roles to play, and we ' ve decided it is to give her something really hard to act (and she does them well), ' cause we know that any one with Allie Belle ' s looks and personality couldn ' t ever have experienced such shameful treatment in real life. Angkor Club. H B flr Fifty-eight LELA OWEN Hay-you, honey! Yep, that ' s Lela. Friendly? You can tell that by her smile. President of the T. C, Club and one of the most beloved girls on the campus. She has the prettiest teeth, and the prettiest big, brown eyes, and clothes enough to fit out the school — no, she doesn ' t strut them, either. She ' s downright cute-looking. And does she go over with the powers that be? Marvelous personality and a line — whew ! Yep, that ' s Lela ! T. C. Club : President of the T. C. Club. MARY PADGETT It is too bad that G in the ABC contest didn ' t stand for gorgeous, for our friend Padgett would have surely been present. Besides that, she ' s a knock-out in every way — a sincere peach of a girl. Evidently the Group 2 girls agree with us, for they elected her President of their club. Angkor ; First President of Day Student Council. ' 27 ; President of Angkor Club, ' 27- ' 28. MERRY BELLE PALMER Do you need a friend — a really honest-to-goodness friend ? We have a friend on the campus who is so very sweet, understanding, and unselfish that we just lack words to describe her many qualities. She is so cheerful that we would jolly well call her little sunbeam if it didn ' t sound too childish ; so instead we just have to put emphasis on the spelling of her name and just almost yell that she ' s a Merry Belle. Agora Club. Fifty-nine KATE PARKER Cute, clever, and stylish — that ' s Kate, one of the best-liked little brats in the class. Her voice carries all over the hall, and her voice usually means business, ' cause she says what she thinks. Texas and A. M. ! — it wouldn ' t be Kate without that, either. 0, that Chemistry ! But she passes. Try and find some one who doesn ' t like Kate. You can ' t — she ' s a campus favorite, that ' s all. Penta Tau Club ; President of Texas Club. SARAH ANDREWS The latest addition to the class ; but she is a Senior, at any rate, and we are glad to have her. Maybe you don ' t know her so well. She isn ' t aggressive and she isn ' t what one would call boisterous, but she is one of these dependable people that you can always bank on. It ' s that type that makes a good all-round class. Angkor Club. VIRGINIA PAYNE When you first see her, you might say: Hello, Miss Marian Davies ! But that wouldn ' t be right, ' cause she is Virginia Payne, who can talk more and faster than any one else we know. She ' s there in more ways than one — take it from us — and when she ' s there, she always proves a rest for every one ' s eyes. Angkor Club. Sixty ELOISE PEARSON Every club has its pride, every suite has its joy, and every cirl has her ideal. Who but Pearson is the F. F. ' s pride, 202-3 ' s joy, and the Senior ' s ideal? You don ' t know just what she ' s all about; but when you find out, you know that Ep is all one could want in one package. However, we all have our faults. Here ' s Pearson ' s : She falls asleep at the sight of a bed ! F. F. Club ; President of F. F. Club : President of Inter-Club Council ; Y. W. Sunday School Committee. WILLAMAE PHELPS It ' s mighty hard to put Bill in words, ' cause she ' s so ditTerent from the rest of the common herd. She ' s a sweet ole sal, and she ' s going to get ahead some day, ' cause she is ambitious, and she has that quality in her which is necessary for just that — a will of her own. We know she ' ll make a place for her- self in the university, just as she has here in W.-B. A. K. Club. NANCY PIERCE I want you to go home with me some week-end : will you ? Why, of course, that is Nancy. Who else is as generous as she? Besides, she can tell your past, present, future, good points, faults, without the flicker of an eyelash. She ' s always being nice to somebody, and have you ever seen her without that ready smile? Well, we haven ' t, either; and we like it and its owner. X. L. Club. Sixty-one PAULINE PINSON What are we laughing at? O, just another one of Pauline ' s side-splitting remarks. They come all of a sudden when you aren ' t looking, and hysterics is the result. Pauline does take things seriously some- times, though, and will lend a hand any time you want. Pauline has a smile for every one, and that ' s one more reason we ' ll all say she ' s plenty cute. Agora Club. JOSEPHINE RANKIN Miss Townsend ( ?) — Jo — Expression, all come at first thought. She ' s the most accomplished girl on the stage that we know. She ' s been everything from an old mother to a Greek king, and she ' s the apple of Miss Townsend ' s eye — and she should be. She writes plays and stories, plays marvelously on the piano, is well read, and has a good time, too. Well, there is more to her ! Jo is versatile — she certainly is ! A. K. Club : Wordsmith ; President of Michigan Club. VALBORG RAVN Last year Volley burst into prominence by capturing a medal for being the best all-round athlete in school, and this year she has become one of the dignitaries (?) of the Student Council. Many honors and responsibilities are hers, and yet through it all she has kept her place as the least conceited girl on the campus. O, Titian, how we love you ! , Osiron Club ; Senior Proctor, ' 27 ; Vice President of Council, ' 28 ; Y. W. C. A. Cabinet ; President of Titians. Sixty-two MARGARET RAWLS If we had a more proficient French vocabulary, we might be able to describe this little day student, who is si petite and has beaucoup de charm and all that sort of thing ; but as our literary talents don ' t include the mystery of a foreign tongue, we ' ll have to let it go by saying in none too elegant English : She ' s one cute girl ! Triad Club. HELEN REED Mississippi never produced a drawl more to our liking than Helen ' s. It is with the utmost delight that we witness Miss Townsend ' s plays when Helen is in them, for Tier voice is one of the luvinest things we are aware of. And when actions speak louder than words, we find the drawl all gone, for Helen is hustling in the right direction. Anti-Pandora Club ; President of Mississippi Club. KATHERINE REES Katherine says she ' s running some of the pillars of the place a close race for endurance, but we ' re all mighty glad she decided to come to W.-B. Wonder what the Tennessee Club would have done without her ? At first glance one would think Katherine was one of Mrs. Charlie ' s soberest Seniors, but did you ever get her started ' She has the merriest little laugh you can imagine. (Bet it goes over big in Yurp this summer.) Tri-K. Club. Sixty-three ALICE RICHEY Any one you ask about Alice will tell you the same thing: She may be rather quiet, but you ' ll hardly find a sweeter jiirl. She ' s very capable, and is willing to do her part every time. When she makes friends, they stay her friends. Don ' t you think those assets of hers prove that she ' s a mighty nice girl? T. C. Club. MARY LOU RITTER Another Hoosier, and that ' s not so bad. Wears a Phi Gam pin, and that ' s not so bad, either. And what a change from last year — little, quiet Mary Lou, and now — them days is gone forever. You can hear her a mile away. As Y Librarian, she ' s right there every Sat. nite. Also, we wish we could wear those lovely little airy-fairy organdies like she can. A. K. Club; Y. W. C. A. Cabinet; Chairman of Book Committee. ELEANOR ROBBINS And maybe she doesn ' t get the prize for being temperamental ! She deserves it. One time she grins and speaks ; the next time she resembles a charging bull. But that ' s just Robbins. Let her alone and she ' ll recover ! She has the world beat on witty remarks, and she always gets hers la-st. She ' s more fun than a circus, a good sport. Hockey — stand back and watch her sock that ball ! President of the Illinois Club, and superlative as a friend. That ' s enough for her. Next. F. F. ; President of Illinois Club. Sixty-four GLADYS ROBBINS Another fateful blonde — a real one — and cute? Look below. Quiet, reserved, and dignified; but they are the type; and then, too, she has the gift, not of gab (you could hardly say that), but of music — intends to be the coming Paderewski. She ' s another Indiana gal. A. K. Club. MARTHA BETTY ROBBINS Yeah ! That ' s the one I mean — you know, the one with the dark-brown, curly hair and gorgeous blue eyes. She ' s a club President. O, yes, it ' s our A. K. Club she represents. And she can do her little bit in e.xprcssion and sing like — well, she is named Robin truthfully, ' cause that ' s just the way she sings. A. K. Club ; President of A. K. Club. HELEN RYERSON The big show of the class, the hugest girl. We can ' t see why she doesn ' t reduce ! Nope, she ' s one person who isn ' t bothered by the reduction problem. They call her Baby, and she fits that name — beau- tiful, big, brown eyes ; short, fluffy hair ; and clever as you find ' em. And she ' s always the same — even- tempered. She and Shorty make a pair — always together, inseparable. It sounds as if she makes a first-class friend, too. Osiron Club. Sixty-five HELEN SCOTT We never think of sweetness, unselfishness, and poise without thinking of Helen, ' cause she ' s all three personified. We just know that she will do something with her art some day, ' cause she surely knows her stuff. Helen is going to Europe this summer, and we know that Europe will be benefited by her trip just as much as Helen. We ' ll bet any one that the queen gets a duke or a count over there. T. C. Club ; Vice President of T. C. Club. RUTH SHARP You don ' t know what you ' ve missed it you haven ' t made Ruth ' s acquaintance at Ward-Belmont this year. A little smile will go a long, long way ; and take it from us, Ruth ' s smile goes the whole way. You can ' t help loving her when you see her. Tri-K. Club. RUTH SILVERSTEIN ' - O, I ' m going up to the Infirmary again ! Headache — everything — I just feel awful! Every time you see Ruth, she ' s either been or going — too bad ! But whether she feels Okay or not, she ' s killing — her slams, her expressions — clever doesn ' t half tell it. I think she has ten or twelve fur coats. I know she has gorgeous eyes and pretty hair. Ruth ' s all right in her way, and it can ' t be said she doesn ' t weigh enough ; ' cause everybody on the campus knows and likes her. Orison Club. W Sixty -six ALLENE SMITH It ' s hard to live down a name like Smith, but Allene has made it just a little different to us. Then, of course, we know that Allene will some day grace another name with her charm. She ' s rather quiet in a crowd, but when you get her alone — you ' d be surprised. Agora Club. GERALDINE SMITH Gee, I wish I wuz a boy ! But. Gerry, we ' re so glad you ' re not. Think what Ward-Btlmont would have missed ! Gerry decided not to come back this year, but one night at Ithaca they played Belles of Ward-Belmont ; and she surely is glad, ' cause if she hadn ' t returned sho never would have known Mary Lou. Some day Gerry will be a Sarah Bernhardt to the world, but always just Gerry to us. Anti-Pandora Club ; President of Kentucky Club : Member of Y. W. Membership Committee. SUSIE SMITH If Susie is anywhere in sight, you can see her, for her gorgeous red hair lets you know she is approach- ing. So much for Susie to look upon, but Susie to talk to is even more attractive, for she has a sense of humor that cannot be resisted. Another thing we like about her is her unfailing good nature. You ' re a lucky girl, Susie ! Del Ver Club : Vice President of West Virginia Club. Sixty-seven KATHERINE STANDIFER Some say (many, in fact) that she looks like Clara Bow at times — little, with black, straight hair; beautiful, big, brown eyes that are well adapted to rolling ; charming, indifferent, and a slow, casual South- ern drawl. O, my, and she has it ! She is efficient and reliable and has been on the honor roll. What more could you want ? Tri-K. Club; Vice President of Senior Class. ALBERTA STOLTZ Yesterday somebody saw Alberta walk past, and exclaimed : Well, isn ' t she the cutest ever ! Now, that somebody wasn ' t even a little bit wrong. It ' s true. W.-B. is going to miss this smiling Alberta next year, but Berta will be carrying on the good work, because from here she ' s going to Texas University, and it ' ll be a big up for W.-B. as she becomes a fair co-ed. Osiron Club. ' MARIE SUDEKUM At first glance Marie seems to be one of those tall, fair maidens who is waiting to be rescued from a tower. But if you know her, you find that she is just as modern as the next one. She has the latest in everything from lingerie to literature. Also she is naturally golden-glinted and inherently intellectual. Angkor Club. Sixty-eight BRUNHILD SWITZER Sometimes quietness is an asset. We know ttiat it is in Brunhild ' s case, anyway. She has that reserve that makes one want to know her. She ' s such a relief from the loud, boisterous type of prirl that every one loves to be with her. She ' s the type of girl that we all are proud to say is a Senior. Agora Club. KATHERINE GRAY TABB Have you ever looked upon the platform in Vespers any Sunday evening, and have you seen a vision — a blond one — which looked as if it must have come from the heavens ? Well, that is Katherine Gray. Her disposition is just as sweet as she looks, and she ' s mighty popular, too, ' cause isn ' t she the Vice President of the Y. ? T. C. Club ; Vice President of Y. W. C. A. DORIS TATUM Speaking of individuality, Doris has it ! There ' s not another girl in W.-B. who could wear her hair in that slick way and still look human. Naturally when we think of Doris we think of Penta Tau. A grand club and a grand girl ! She has not only engraved her name on our hearts at W.-B., but her fame has reached other parts of Tennessee. Mention Chattanooga and see what she does. Penta Tau Club ; President of Penta Tau Club. Sixty -nine CAROLYN TAYLOR O, that Southern broEue, drawl, or what have you ? She has a Georgian beat a block, and she ' s a Nash- ville native. But we love to hear her talk — takes up time in classes, too. And have you ever noticed her hands. After feeling our own sand-papered appendagres. her nice, white, smooth ones are quite attractive. She also has the cutest black hair and a dimpled smile. ' Nuflf said ! Angkor Club ; Second Vice President of Day Student Council, ' 27. CORA THOMAS Here ' s the kind of a day student that we like. She is friendly even to the point of having the inmates out on Sunday afternoons. We can ' t see how Cora ever finds time to study or come to school, for that matter, when she goes to every social event in town. Somehow, that doesn ' t bother her ; for she even spends time on water polo, in which she excels. Triad Club. HELEN THOMAS Helen went to Newcomb last year, so she knows how It is. There are very few Sundays that pass with- out Helen ' s taking some poor, wretched boarder out. That ' s a big point in her favor. And — O, another thing ! What about Bob ? You couldn ' t even mention her and leave him out. He ' s most important. Helen is all right, though, even if she is in love. Triad Club. Seventy DOROTHY THOMPSON It ' s a feat to get a diploma as a graduation present here, and we all are mighty proud of ours ; but this lucky girl has gone us one better and inviggled her family into giving her a sport roadster, too. That isn ' t the only reason we envy and admire her. She has the faculty of making friends, and, besides her old friends in Nashville, we are proud to add ourselves eii masse. Triad Club. MARY ELIZABETH VICK Gee, I like that girl ! That ' s just the way we feel after a half hour with Vick. She has all the best traits.of half the school all wrapped up in one bundle, but you have to kin da trick her along to make her come out with them. By the way, she ' s a prize Domestic Science product. How ' bout that cake at the club house, ' Vick? ' O, just a sample! Well, we ' ll take more. How about it? A. K. Club : Secretary of Illinois Club. BETTY WEBER Didn ' t you know that wearing rouge is against the rules ? You won ' t do it again ? How little you do feel — that ' s our General Proctor. But she can ' t understand us poor palefaces. She doesn ' t need rouge — she has that old Iowa corn-fed complexion. She arranged Dr. Grenfell ' s visit, she plays water polo with wim and wigor, she ' s a prominent figure on the campus — in fact, Betty is right there ! A. K. Club ; General Proctor, ' 28 ; Y. W. C. A. Cabinet : Chairman of World Fellowship Committee. 1 L 1 Seventy -one ELIZABETH WENNING What a class we ' d be if we were all Elizabeth Wennings ! Straight A ' s — whew! Our intelligensia, our authoress, our foreign diplomat, and she has pretty little feet — how ' s that for a mean combination ? Mean, did we say? Why, that ' s not it at all, for she ' s old Big-hearted herself. And she ' s ability all the way from her ten-decker brain to her pedal extremities. Yep, we ' ve seen her tap dance, too. Angkor Club ; Wordsmith. ANNA WHITE The Milestones Staff and every one else can swear by Anna ' s artistic ability. As one of these perennial day students, she has painted her personality with such a powerful stroke that we are sure it will some day hang in the halls of fame. Anna isn ' t only an artist, either, as both Ward-Belmont and Vandy unite in pronouncing her a darn cute girl! Triad Club ; Milestones Staff. MIRIAM WHITEHEAD You can just look at her and laugh, because if she isn ' t saying something killing you know she ' s going to; and the funny thing is, she never cracks a smile. Clever? Pointed? You ' d better keep your top- knot down, or you ' ll get it squelched off with more truth than poetry. The pride and joy of the journal- ism class — you ' re Okay, Miriam ; we like it. Anti-Pandora Club ; Associate Editor of Milestones ; Member of Y. W. Membership Committee ; Hyphen Staff, ' 27. Seventy-tivo MARY LOUISE WILCOX There are just lots of things to say about Mary Louise, because her interests are varied and she meets all the requirements of a well-rounded personality. She can draw, play the piano, write poetry and prose, fancy dance, play hockey, basketball, water polo, baseball, make the honor roll, or anything else. And her interest and application equal her ability. Anti-Pandora Club ; Secretary of Anti-Pandora Club ; Hyphen Reporter, ' 27 ; Y. W. C. A. Cabinet ; Chairman of Y. W. Membership Committee. KATHERINE WILSON A visitor on the campus always wants to know who the tall, curly-haired, blue-eyed fjirl with the ready smile is. Why ! My dear, she is the Agora Club President, the club which won the cup for scholarship ; and she is also from Kentucky. Can ' t you tell just by looking at her that she is everything ice ? You bet you can ! Agora Club ; President of Agora Club ; Treasurer of Kentucky Club. AGNES WRIGHT We thought we were a pretty good Senior Class all last fall ; but when some more Seniors arrived with the second semester, we found that we had lacked something, and that something was Agnes. She was a second-year college student last year and one of Mrs. Jeter ' s favorites, and she just couldn ' t leave for good without having a taste of being a Senior. A. K. Club. Seventy-three KATE BOYD Here ' s a perfect reproduction of a Greta Garbo head. Look at Kate ' s flaxen hair ; doesn ' t it curl in just the cutest way? (We wonder what the secret of this point of beauty is.) Kate not only has a head of wonderful hair, but she has a head just full of brains. What would the Penta Taus and Texas and the Senior Class do without Kate? Well, we just wouldn ' t do, that ' s all! Penta Tau Club : Member of Y. W. Art Committee. HELEN DEAN Dink is the poet of the class — used her poetry last year, and then she wrote our challenge. (She ' s even had pomes in College Humor!) She is the sweetest thing about offering her services any time. We all envy her size and her hair, even if Robbins did cut off her flowing tresses. If it weren ' t for her hay fever, Dink would be all O.K. Not a cough in a carload, but a sneeze in every pack. F. F. Club ; President of Ohio Club. DOROTHEA JONES We have certainly missed those gorgeous auburn waves — and the girl under them — this last semester. Senior Hall hasn ' t been quite the same since Dorothea completed her course at Christmas time and left for Kansas City and all points West. With that old Pollyanna spirit, though, we can be glad that we at least had Doty with us for a while, and will not soon forget this pretty red-head. T. C. Club. Seventy-four MARJORIE WRIGHT Marge is now one of the blondes that gentlemen prefer, but she will soon return to brunettedom and still be preferred. Marge furnishes that snappy come-back, or, if necessary, can carry on a complete conversation. Lots of people can talk as long as she. but most of them don ' t say anything. Here Marge shines, for her brain cells are as active as both ends of her tongue. Penta Tau Club ; Secretary of Texas Club. MARY ANN ICKERT Teensy is doubly blessed — she has the fun of being from Texas, and yet can come to W.-B. and priss around as a day student. But that ' s not all. She has the blackest hair, the fairest complexion, and the cutest little figure you can imagine. Sounds too good to be true, doesn ' t it? But it isn ' t — it ' s Teensy! Angkor Club. Seventy-five SENIOR SONG I We pledge now our love for our old W.-B., We vow to be ever true ; We pledge, too, our love for our dear Senior Class — God bless them, the old and the new. We ' ll hold high those colors, the Gold and the Blue ; Her banners shall kiss the sky. Our faith all resisting, our goal for life ' s best. Our motto, To do or die. II The joys we have here will not fly as the leaves ; They ' ll last us life ' s journey through ; And the love we have now for the friendships we ' ve made Will live in our memories, too ; And though we must part from each other some day. As Seniors have parted before. The glorious spirit of old ' 28 Will linger for evermore. Seventy-six JUNIOR MIDDLE CLASS OFFICERS Sarah Taylor Eleanor Marling Elise Martin . President Vice President Secretary-Treasurer At last we have completed the rudimentary part of our marionette in- struction ! We have finally been able to grasp our cues and to differentiate between up and down stage. Now we are awaiting with importance the time when we shall play — not high school, but college roles. Seventy-seven JUNIOR MIDDLE CLASS LEONORA ALLEN What better could we ask to start This class of Twenty-Eight? For everywhere our Nonie goes. You bet she sure does rate. ANGELINE ANDERSON Andie is an all-round girl. And that you can ' t deny, For every one is happier Whene ' er she passes by. VERA ANDERSON Vera is just loads of fun.

And every one will sorry be When she is forced to part. VIRGINIA BERRY Virginia is a lovely girl, A girl we all adore. She ' s always ready with a smile And friendly words galore. MARY LAURENT BROWN Our Spanish senorita here. Black hair and sparkling eyes. That ' s Mary, who does very well In everything she tries. MARY ELIZABETH BRYAN Just what has Libba done to-day? We ask her as she goes by. She did not speak to one of us. Restricted ' s the reply. LLOY BURNS Our Lloy is mostly rather quiet. But those who really know Say she ' s a charming sort of girl. For they all love her so. Seventy-eight JUNIOR MIDDLE CLASS CHARLOTTE CLAYBROOKE Ijots of folk are taller. And lots of folks more thin ; But if you find one finer. Your hunt must now bepin. ALLIE BROWN CLARK There is a well-known sayinp: ' Bout the type gentlemen prefer ; So blond and lovely, Allie BrOwn Will create quite a stir. CLARA COLLIER In highest ranks of opera Our pretty Clara ' ll be. She sings just like a lark, they say ; To that we ' ll all agree. DIANA COX An artist our Diana is, An authoress as well. In fact, she is quite capable. As many girls can tell. MARY E. DAVIS Just look at Mary over there. Whom lessons never fret Too much to help a friend in need. We sure love her, you bet. HELEN DONKER A lovely maid, with sparkling eyes And sweet and charming ways, Is Helen, who has helped to add Much joy to our school days. ADELLE DUDNEY Adelle is sweet and rather quiet, Not prone to too much mirth. ' Twere well if foolish gigglers had Some of her sterling worth. KATHERINE DUDNEY Katherine is the artist twin : With paints she does so well, I have no doubt that she will be A second Raphael, Seventy-nine JUNIOR MIDDLE CLASS JIMSEY DUNCAN Jimsey ' s such a friendly girl, We tliinlt she is a dear. And would express a hearty wish That she ' ll return next year. HENRIETTA ESTES Hinky is a precious girl. Laughing all the time. That ' s all the justice can be d In such a little rhyme. LOIS FEGLES Lois is a happy lass. In lessons she is keen ; But even so when fun ' s abroad. Her books are never seen. JANE CAREY FOLK Jane ' s Alice Terry ' s rival, For the stage has brought her fame. But that ' s not all ; for writing, too. Is good that bears her name. ISOBEL GOODLOE Bella ' s sweet, and that is nice To say of any one ; But that is not the half to say Of one so full of fun. MARY GRAHAM Nip has lovely golden hair. And eyes of deepest brown. And Vandy boys sure turn to stare Whene ' er she goes to town. CORINNE GRAY Quiet and sweet and interesting Is our own Corinne Gray ; To find a lovelier girl, I ' m sure You ' d hunt many a day. WINONA GRIGGS Brown eyes with brown, real-curly hair And an ever-ready smile, Winona has, you must admit. The very best of style. Eighty JUNIOR MIDDLE CLASS MARCELLA HAMILTON Marcella ' s good in Chemistry, But this we hate to say : She ' s tried, but no explosion Has livened up lab day. ROBERTA HARRINGTON Bert ' s an awfully ' tractive girl. With hair of auburn hue. She ' s just the girl we all look for ; She stands by stanch and true. MILDRED HARRIS Dream of a girl with sparkling eyes And hair that just must cur!. And then you ' ll dream of Mildred, A really darling girl. MINNIE HAYES Minnie has a failing true For getting grades of A ; But study does not interfere With her in any way. MARTHA HENDERSON Martha ' s hair is auburn shade. But color does not tell The loyalty and friendship of One that we love so w ell. MARJORIE HOLMES Marje seems quiet and studious. But that is just a guise. For those who learn to know her well Will get a big surprise. NELL HOUSLEY You are so very full of pep You ' ll always make a hit Wherever you may chance to be. For you sure have got it. LORANELL HOUSTON A certain girl named Loranell Seems timid, quiet, and shy ; But when we ' re out to play some pranks She ' s right there, and — O, my ! Eighty-one JUNIOR MIDDLE CLASS DOROTHY HUCKINS She is our little baby, Our happy care-free pet ; But some day she ' ll grow up, and Be even cuter yet. MAXINE IRVIN She ' s quite attractive and all that. But this I cannot see : How she might have so many charms And still so tiny be. CLARA JACKSON Little and blond, with lots of pep. Is our charming Clara Jackson, And every one of us declares She has every attraction. ALICE KAMRAR From way out where the tall corn grows Down South our Alice came. She makes the honor roll each month : For fun she sure is game. MARGARET KELLER Look at Margaret, and you ' ll see Our student stern and wise. But what if teachers saw the truth Behind those laughing eyes? FRANCES LAMAR We owe much to the Lone Star State. But we thank Texas here For Frances, who has brought us joy Each day throughout the year. FRANCES LONG A goddess she might seem to be — A goddess — but our art Is so inadequate that we ' ll just say She ' s surely won our heart. JOSEPHINE McKELVEY It started with Yump Yosie Yur And that name seemed to fit. Yosie she is to all of u., A girl who made a hit. Eighty-two JUNIOR MIDDLE CLASS MARY MEADORS f we could say the lovely things We know quite well would fit, PwoLild take many a volume ; So we ' ll just say she is ' IT. PATIENCE MULLENDORE Patience has a lot of style An ' scads and scads of clothes. Besides two lovely, dark-brown eyes And a fine, straight Roman nose. VIRGINIA NEIL Shag is our swimmer straight and true From Minnesota lakes. (We only wish we had some of Those medals that she takes.) NANCY O ' CONNOR Billy is a darling girl. And always full of pep ; There ' re many who are jealous of Her enviable rep. ROWENA ORR Then there is Rowena, A stately, sedate girl. As Proctor of North Front She was. indeed, a pearl. KATHRYN PARRISH She loves dates like an Arab, Of Kathryn that they say ; For she will win the hearts of all As she goes through each day. BETTY PERKINS The very name of Perkins seems To bring before our mind The best and sweetest little mi; That one could ever find. MAY RAWLS Now May ' s our budding geniu: For she has won a prize. And yet she struts not vainly Before our jealous eyes. Eighty-three JUNIOR MIDDLE CLASS MABEL REEVES A splendid member of the class Is delightful Mabel Reeves. All of us like her, and. you bet.

Eighty-five SNAPSHOTS Eighty-six SECOND-YEAR COLLEGE CLASS Miss Mary Ralhel Norris Sponsor OFFICERS Julia Ann Ross President Birdie Crider Vice President Lucille Hegewald Secretary-Treasurer Although our marionette technique hasn ' t reached the proficiency of our most august Seniors, yet we are in no wise discouraged. We feel that in choosing those roles which interest us most and for which we are best suited, we, too, are playing our parts on Ward-Belmont ' s stage. On February 14 we had the opportunity to show the Senior celebrities, at a Cupid party, just how much we liked, as well as respected, them. Their willingness during the year to include our class in privileges hitherto bestowed upon only them has proved to us that in spite of their elevated position they ' re regular girls. Eighty-seven SENIOR MIDDLE CLASS Miss ElleiNE Ransom Sponsor OFFICERS Celestina Young President Kathryn Waitt Vice President Dorothy Valentine , Secretary Dorothy Sabin Treasurer We entered our first-year c ollege role with some misgivings, for we had never been called upon to play such a complicated part before. It was all such a novelty that our mental adjustments at times endangered our equi- librium ; but when we came near the end of the school year and gave a banquet production, at which the Seniors were present, we began to think that our first year and its problems were almost a thing of the past and that out in the future lay our glorious Senior roles. Eighty-eight HIGH-SCHOOL JUNIOR CLASS Miss Lorene Jacobs Sponsor OFFICERS Lucy Mai Bond President Mary Louise Neff Vice President Jane Everson Secretary Selwyn Puryear Treasurer So far we have encountered only the most fundamental instruction in becoming an efficient marionette; yet, after three years of earnest practice and rehearsal, we feel that perhaps we have accomplished quite a good deal. Next year we shall play the Junior Middle role, and after that, in the misty distance, there awaits the stardom of college roles. Eighty-nine HIGH-SCHOOL SOPHOMORES Miss Thelma Campbell Sponsor OFFICERS Geneva Jones President Mary Alice Farr Vice President Betty Page Bradfield Secretary Frances Gibson Treasurer We are not beginners, and yet we are far from boasting of the finished style of our elders in the marionette show. Nevertheless, as we travel steadily down-stage to the spot where the lights of prominence are shining so brightly, we dream of the year when our hopes will materialize and we, too, shall be the leading ladies in Dr. Blanton ' s Marionette Show.

President Sarah Bryan ,,. t, j , . ,,, vice President MiLBREY Wright ,, TT „„ Secretary-Treasurer Miriam Hotchkiss Our year has been filled with such a multiplicity of roles we did not know how to portray— especially those of dignity and silence— that we felt rather downhearted at times. However, the spirit of the Freshman Company forbids anything that smacks of quitting ; and next year, when we change the name of our company from Freshman to Sophomore, we ask you to judge our play of the year and see if we are not quite successful.

The fact that many of these States have a large number of girls who are drawn together by similarity of interest, as well as a strong sense of State pride, has led to the organization of State Clubs. These clubs have for years formed an important part in the life of the school, and the dances which they give are among the most delightful affairs on the pro- gram of social events for each year.

This year a number of unusually excellent performances have been pre- sented to the students and faculty of Ward-Belmont as well as the citizens of Nashville. The two religious pageants, at Christmas and Easter, and the Shakespearean play, Twelfth Night, at the end of the school year, will long be remembered by the delighted audiences.

The Ward-Belmont Orchestra is one of the best-known school ensembles in the country. It is made up of pupils of the institution, augmented by amateurs and young professionals of Nashville. Full instrumentation, in- cluding percussion, harp, and bass, was played by young ladies from the school. This orchestra, organized many years ago by the late Fritz Schmidt, has been conducted and further developed by Kenneth Rose, the head of the Violin Department for the past ten years. The repertoire which it has achieved is very extensive, ranging from movements of symphonies to the more popular concert numbers. For this year a program of unusual inter- est was selected, including the first movement of the famous unfinished symphony of Schubert and the Allegro Moderato from the violin concerto of Mendelssohn. The soloist for the occasion was Miss Charlotte Strong, of Beaumont, Texas, who is a very talented pupil of Mr. Rose. She was accompanied by the orchestra. One hundred fifteen COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT One hundred sixteen The Domestic Art and Home Economics ■O Margaret Lov ry Una Spaller Eunice Kinkead, Assistant One hundred seventeen DOMESTIC ART The Ward-Belmont sewing classes engage in such a widely diversified program that at the end of the year the girls are able to produce a variety of attractive, carefully made garments. Everything, from the types of garments worn by the modern girl to the intricate stitches which adorn them and the simple stitches which are used in putting them together, is studied. The study of textiles — their manufacture, their use, and their care — is also an important part of the course. One hundred eighteen DOMESTIC SCIENCE Vitamins, calories, proper cooking temperatures, balanced meals, and modern labor-saving equipment are all studied by domestic-science pupils at Ward-Belmont. The work does not end here, however ; for the student is taught that a carefully prepared meal, to be thoroughly satisfactory, must be served attractively. To this end luncheons are served at dainty tables, and decorations, as well as mere nourishment, are taken into serious consideration. One hundred nineteen w.

Marionette Show until it slowly lowers in May on the last act of the 1927-28 prog-ram the girls enjoy a series of varied and delightful holidays. Such a galaxy of stunning new evening dresses, such a profusion of smiles and hand- shakes, and such an abundance of punch, cheese sticks, and sugared almonds are not seen on the campus at any time other than the evening of All-Club Reception. The old members hold open house at their clubhouses and smile as they have never smiled before to greet the new girls as they visit each club. After the pain of aching feet has left us, All-Club Reception stands out in our memories as one of the loveliest formal occasions of the year. Shortly after the club lists have been settled and new girls have survived the trials of Fag Day, the Y starts a campaign which is guaranteed to make any lost lamb feel like one of the flock. The main feature of Peanut Week is to send the girl whose name you receive in a peanut shell as many nice things as you possibly can. Everything from shoe polish to pink elephants has been known to appear. And at the end the Y gives an infor- mal dance, which is pecks of fun. Halloween loses none of its thrills and scares in Ward-Belmont. Everything from wild-eyed ghosts to grinning pumpkin heads greets the girls as they come to dinner on All Saints ' Eve. Thanksgiving Day has so many pleasures packed into it that even the most homesick boarders forget that they are one thousand miles from home and enjoy the special pack- ages, telegrams, and flowers which always come to remind them that they are not for- gotten back home. In the afternoon there is the Vandy-Sewanee football battle or a matinee down town; and then, the crowning event, the Puritan Dinner, with turkey ' n ' everything. The Christmas holidays start before we ever leave W.-B. in December. Every one is so excited about going home. And the club parties, the servants ' Christmas tree, and the hall revels are so much fun that the ol ' Christmas spirit reigns supreme for a whole week at least before the girls leave for home. It takes everybody until the middle of February to recover from Christmas holidays and mid-semester exams., but when they do — Ward-Belmont really celebrates. On February 22 the entire student body sallies forth in powdered hair and satin breeches or panniers. Rec Hall looks like Mount Vernon itself when George and Martha with their court lead the students with stately mien down to the dining room. After dinner there is a colonial ball in the gym. Senior-Senior Middle Day is given over to athletic contests between the Senior Vikings and the Immortal Gods of the Senior Middles. May Day is in charge of the Physical Education Department, and half of Nashville comes out to see the May Queen and her court and to enjoy the dances of various types. The All-Club Dinner is the saddest feature of the whole year, and takes place the last night before we leave (in the Seniors ' case) for the last time. All the club mem- bers sit together in the dining rooms, and dearest among our memories are the recollec- tions of the farewell songs. Two luoidred one c r o v_ (a Al[B Aini,-ll( -IHn IM Ml.

Two hundred sixteen =%n Literary Department Margaret Alice Lowe President of the Wo7-dsmiths Carman Barnes Presideyit of the Pen Staf Ward-Belmont boasts of a high order of Hterary attainment. Numbers of its pupils have won prizes in student contests and have received honors outside of the circle immediately connected with the school. Although the space in Milestones is limited, the Editorial Staff has selected a number of contributions which show, in a small way at least, something of the work being done in the school. Some of the contributions are by members of the college literary society, the Wordsmiths, and some are by members of the new high-school literary society, the Pen Staff. Others are by stu- dents who do not belong to either of these organizations, but who possess decided literary talent. After the Annual is published, the prize offered by Misses Linda Rhea and Theodora Scruggs, of the Ward-Belmont English Department, will be awarded to the best literary contribution to the 1928 Milestones. Two hundred seventeen THE TOWER AND THE BELL THREE SONNETS By Kathryn Isabel Glasford I I look from out my window toward your head That rises through the smoke of dying fires. The city ' s closing factories and the sunset ' s red Herald the dusk with time for men ' s desires. ' Tis true that from your top they say you see The city and the countryside spread out. The more aloft a man or thing may be, The larger is his world that lies about. And once they used this simple thing, This tower with the great railed iron top, To watch approach of armies and to bring Disaster, and the blue-clad men to stop; But men will ever all the use employ Of Natui ' e ' s beauty others to destroy. II Each thing or person has a certain day, A glory with a fleeting, transient life That leaves a memory or blank decay To stand a souvenir of some past strife. Your walls that once were stolid and sedate With crevices and cracks of age are gaunt; Your tales of glory that men did relate No longer have a purpose or a want. The spider weaves his web among the dust; Along your stairs the fiddling crickets flit. With Nature now, who gives you life, your trust Is to return; yourself to her submit. All things completed revert to their source, And thus all cycles run and every course. Ill The silent twilight suddenly is stirred; The clear, cool ring of some near vesper bell To us and to the city, scarce disturbed, Gives knowledge of the hour of prayer to tell Ourselves in hurried whispers events passed, And make an inventory of the day, So that we suddenly realize at last The bell and tower will be far away. When we leave, others come to take our place. These days will pass and our years will be gone; Time never stops, and each day ' s given space Is length enough for duty to be done. Bells sound the time, and ancient towers fall To wake our minds to life ' s dull, droning call. Two himdred eighteen FRIENDS By Carman Barnes She was born in a tall, narrow garret, curtained with silvery cobwebs and carpeted with dust. It was not a lovely room, and she was not a lovely child. There was only one element of beauty in each — in the room, an old Louis the Fourteenth desk of scarred niahog-any, and, in the child, a flame. The desk was ancient, weary with its long ' years of service, and crippled by the cen- turies it had stood on its slender, delicately carved feet. But still it was a wonderful desk, beauty in every line of its graceful curves, and a bizarre dash of art in its fan- tastic carvings, though now it held nothing more important than a ball of twine and a bunch of faded, yellow papers. Crumpled, soiled, these finely written pag-es — so insig- nificant taken at a glance, and yet here lay the source of the child ' s mystic fire. A poet had once wept and sung in the garret, tasting of sorrow, the dregs of bitterness, and singing in his fleeting moments of happiness. The child was young, just at the dawn of life. She had a thin, heart-shaped face, high cheek bones, and strange green eyes. And she, too, was crippled. How unique that this child should have burned with a fire — this child born among rats in a garret! But the girl and the desk were friends. As a tiny thing, she played at the carved feet of the antiquated piece of furniture. Soon the papers were dragged from their hiding place, and now the young life began to unfold with fresh loveliness. As she grew, the flame grew, until it became the candle that flushed the paleness of her rather dull existence with a mellow, harmonious glow, and life became a thing to really live. In the narrow, conservative confines of the red-brick schoolhouse she was termed a dreamer; and in the dark, dank attic, a fool. But still the glow was not squelched. Little by little new papers were added to the old, and new dreams visualized. And then a night — a night of shining lights and fragrant flowers, of dim, thronged faces in the vast auditorium — and a girl with strange green eyes stood breathless before the admiring audience. A gleaming medal adorned the drabbiness of her cheap white dress. Her graduation essay had won first place. But there were weary days of heartache and loneliness, of struggle and misunder- standing, which finally culminated in the turning out into the streets of a sad little girl, quite alone and friendless. The inmates of the attic gave the desk to her — such an old desk and filled with rubbish ! The antique some way gave heart to the girl. Friends do not fail one. And then across the dull expanse of life ' s horizon gleamed a sil- ver bar, the silver of an old lady ' s hair — an old lady who, too, was quite alone and friendless. She loved the thin, vibrant figure of the girl, her small, poverty-bitten fea- tures, and her beauty-starved green eyes. Not a pretty girl, yet with an odd kind of charm. The small, clean room, with its bright cretonne curtains, was very different from the attic — except for the desk, which the girl was never very far from. It was a happy life, but there were despairing days. Once there was no money in the tiny house, and the girl ' s life was darkened by the nightmare of losing the desk, for still she and the desk were friends. It was on a cold November afternoon that the antique once m re became the confidant of the girl ' s sor- rows. A shaft of unexpected sunlight burst through the windows, brightening the gray light of the room. It flashed over the Louis desk piled high with white papers, lingered over the pale face of the little bit of sad humanity kneeling on the floor, and danced in fitful patterns around the wooden crutches lying beside her. Then it was gone, and the girl rose. She gathered together the papers and swung herself on the wooden sticks through the door and into the dusk. In the night she returned. The Two hn ndied nineteen papers were g-one; a white envelope took their place. A look of quiet peace had stolen over her face, and the desk remained. Her novel was a great success. It had the same kind of odd charm the girl had — and it was woven about a desk. There was nothing exciting in the girl ' s life. It was as quiet and passive as the old piece 01 furniture. But the years were rich with experience and living. Still the flame glowed. It did not seem like a wearying existence to the girl — not even when suc- cess came, for she was still a girl, even though snowy hair crested her forehead. She had a lovely house. It was full of different personalities, but the mirror room was quite individually her own. It was a beautiful room — a room of claw-armed chairs, of plush and gilt benches, of odd-colored bottles, of slender cabi nets and Paisley shawls, and of gold-framed mirrors; a room cf dreams and visualizations, of far-seen visions, and of newborn creations; for here the ambition had come into being, here the flame had at last found vent. But she had aged — aged with the Louis desk. It stood in the corner now, its crippled legs mended, its surface revarnished. The woman, too, was no longer lame. Success had brought wealth and the luxuries of life, but nothing so precious as her friend and confidant — the desk. WARD-BELMONT PARTY IN EUROPE— SUMMER, 1927 Two hnvdred fiventy SONG By Claire Dorchester These are the things that were wrenched from me: The salt tide running in the Irish Sea; The sapphire grottoes of blue Capri. A black-garbed Fascist in Saint Mark ' s Square, Young and slim, with hawklike stare, Treading the cobbles with a swaggering air. The quiet monastery on Fiesole ' s hill, Sun-drenched, golden, and peacefully still. Soothing the restlessness that life had tried to kill. Your wide, slow, beloved smile Curved in farewell, the while Our boat jarred against the dock ' s rotted pile. These are the things that were wrenched from me. Things that never again shall I see. Things that are lost in the tides of the sea. THE MOON BEHIND THE TOWER By Claire Dorchester The moon is at the full to-night. And mistily from behind the tower it sends Long blades of soft gold through my window. That slip along my throat like phantom knives. With the exquisite pain of hopeless desires; A silver-gilt glow shines through the broken, staring windows Of that gaunt, black ghost that is the tower; And ugly lines are softened. And some into stark, angular relief are brought. Standing high against the dark, silver sky of night. With the great golden globe barely seen around its edges. The tower is a figure of desolation, With a shining silver line of hope behind it; And the moon rocks like a ladened boat. And the torn black clouds hang over the tower like a shroud. Again the long, pale blades, with a taunting caress. Slide along my bare throat with a radiance unbearable, Piercing my soul with their shining edges, Making my heart a sealed casket of beauty — Beauty ceaselessly striving for flight. Tivo hundred tiventy-one Tivo hundred twenty-two A THOUGHT By Susan Graham Erwin In God ' s sweet spring I found a tree, So slender and so young ' to see, I loved it; and its lissom arms Held out to me their so ftened charms To draw and keep me there. When other springs had passed my way So may I pray in spring to be And left me, on another day. As lovely as that slender tree; When autumn skies with agony And when the skies have grown more gray. Were bending down, I found my tree. Then on some dim and distant day. Full gaunt and naked there it stood. Stripped of my beauty and my youth, A gnarled, gray pagan of the wood, May I have grown in such sweet truth Stripped of its robe of mystery; And strength that I, like that old tree, And yet within the symmetry May stand in lovely symmetry Of its old limbs I found anew Against a sunset sky. The fragile beauty that I knew That time amid the May. MY GARDEN By Jessie Cosgrove When tlie road seems steep And friends grow bold to Break down the wall of my inner shrine; When nothing at all seems worthy of wanting. Except relief from people and harsh thoughts pursuing, I go into my garden. Among the flowers at ease I wander. And learn to forget my petty cares. And know that in the world my troubles don ' t Matter — no more do I. From flower to flower I flit. But pause to unfold the leaves of a sweet-smelling Bud that hides beneath sheltering leaves. Where none but the bee may flnd its honeyed bloom. I draw the various scents and colors from the rose, The violet, the poppy, the phlox, the pink. And the hollyhock — each giving forth a Scent and sweetness peculiarly its own. Then when I am calm again, I return to my work refreshed. My garden is a green-backed book. And the flowers are the poems therein. Two hundred tiventy-three FREEDOM By Jessie Cosgrove You speak of the fi ' eedom of youth, Of the limitless paths he may tread, And the care-free life he may lead. But the hand of dependence is strong, And the chain of small duties is long. There is no freedom in youth. You hear of the freedom of age, Of the restful quiet and peace That come at the spirit ' s release From the endless turmoil and strife. The open mouth of the grave waits for all life. There is no freedom in age. There are poems on the freedom of birds, Who may roam the uncharted skies. And scatter their sweet-sounding lies Of happiness, while they still fear That the ravaging cat ' s paw draws near. Or that spring without warning may turn Into winter. Such is the freedom of birds. Think of the freedom of a doe. Timid and frightened, she ' ll go To the stream, nervously dreading a trap Of the hunter who has captured her mate. She knows the verdict of fate. There ' s no freedom like that of a doe. No human being is free. Each is caught in a net of duty and circumstance. His mind is inclosed by the high walls of ignorance; His actions are stopped by the rules of convention. There is no freedom for man. The beasts of the fields are guarded by fences; The fish of the seas are confined to the waters; The industrious bee is the slave of the honey. Nothing is free anywhere. Triw hundred tiventy-four GIRLHOOD By Susan Graham Erwin Some day I shall place teacups in a straight, Neat row across my cupboard ' s ledge. Each plate Will smile with cleanliness, and I shall know The way beans should be boiled and how to sew A fine, straight seam, and I shall like to talk Of bakings and the neighbor folk who walk Past my front door. I ' ll say, ' Twas hard to wait! When some one broad and tall strides through the gate And rumples up my starched apron again. Some day all this will be, but until then I ' ll wear pink bows, be frivolous and free — And quite forget such things have need to be. TO MY MOTHER By Susan Graham Erwin Of mornings have I sung, and wind, and rain; And I have fashioned songs from the quick pain Of swift, clean flights of birds across a sky All sagging with ripe color. And once I Against a gaunt, gray crag pressed my young life Until I felt its music like a knife Cut through me, and I throbbed that I might sing The song of such a mighty, rugged thing. Of these and more I wrought my songs, and knew The ecstasy and pain of each, and threw Them to the wind, like streamers made of flame. In swirling colors. But at your dear name, my beloved, I closed my lips and hid My heart within my hands. Earth dared not bid Me sing, for here was far more joy and pain Than ever felt in skies, or wind, or rain. Two hundred twenty-five WARD-BELMONT ' S ROSETTA STONE By Elizabeth L. Wenning A fortnight ago I was seized with the contagion of springtime adventure, and 1 sat daydreaming, surrounded by charts, blackboards, and weary walls. Away I drifted to realms unknown. Soon something broke through the surface of the subconscious just as the crocus forces its way through the winter-ridden sod. This mysterious some- thing prompted me urgently, saying: Ope that mental eye, for before you alone lies Ward-Belmont ' s Rosetta Stone. Being of the female variety, I could not resist just one look. In one hundredth of a second my squint eyes gave way to frog eyes. My fear and surprise found expression in an excited and jerky Eureka, eureka! Lo, before me there was a stone that was not a stone ! Fear not, dear readers. My superabundant curiosity could not be thwarted. I delved into scientific research, and I assure you that my activity and versatility in many fields have discovered interesting facts that former ineffectual results have not. Therefore, I present this material in Mon lettre sur 1 ' inscription du monument rosetta trouve a Ward-Belmont. In its present condition this cherry-colored stone measures sixteen and one-fourth inches in length, twenty-four inches in width, and three-quarters of an inch in thick- ness. The implements used for inscription were bits of lead, for which there is a groove at the head of the stone, and pieces of sharp-pointed steel. Frequently a blue- black fluid was applied to the workmanship either to enhance its beauty or to give color tone. This liquid was kept in a steel well which is in the upper right-hand cor- ner. This stone is inscribed in picture writing, vernacular, and Greek. On the extreme left at the top there is a full-sailed ship. After close inspection, I concluded that this wave roller belonged to that romantic age of exploration. It is not improbable that some broadcaster of monotony lectured on and on; and as the ether waves became a dreary, drowsy drone, some one listener drifted out to sea and (like Columbus) sailed on and on. Who is the gentleman to the right? Perhaps — an Ipana Troubadour, who just forgot Tivo hundred twenty-six to smile? No, the indifferent look in his eyes has betrayed him. He is no more; he was only a summer hero. (Material for a sob story.) Toward the center is an arch-looking affair. Here are many explanations. The young ladies at one time arched their eyebrows. So ' tis possible that first they prac- ticed on things other than themselves. As you know, too, the last few centuries have been very advanced. Some students have even studied hygiene and thereby diagnosed their own cases. Perhaps one was trying to adjust a high arch to a moccasin? But, logically speaking, does not an arch resemble a bridge? On inquiring I found that cer- tain teachers had set aside several cuts a semester in which the pupils could enjoy a care-free game of bridge. Therefore, this wee arch may be a symbol of joy. Since it is exceedingly difficult to deal with the abstract, let us go to firma terra. At certain set times in the school year (the common herd terms exams ) there is great fumbling of pages and losing of good dispositions. The students feel apart — yes, distant — from their studies, and they are united only by a Bridge of Sighs. Evidently one person has been interested in botany, anatomy, or physiology — I don ' t know which— for a little to the lower left there lies a palpitating, bleeding heart. Yet how strange! Directly above this heart is an I. 0. U. My two conclusions are: Some one has a hearty charge account or she has been a loser in the game of hearts. There are some marks on this stone that have taken a great deal of thoughtful time. These are some X ' s. Now, mind you, there are not just three X ' s, but whole series of them. It seems plausible that toward the end of a letter one ' s pen is often no longer full; so it is customary to substitute these marks for superfluous words. It is being done, and they are quite effective. Feature the economy! A language is known to change greatly during its long life, and I have been perplexed by the variety of spellings adopted by different scholars. One has written, Good nite; another, Open all night. However, I know that my key for interpretation is correct, for Cleo is present here as she was on the original Rosetta Stone. That woman of the eternal triangle makes her debut in every age! At her side is her old friend, the world ' s first traveling sales- man, none other than the serpent. My most remarkable and extraordinary discovery is one that the world will hardly grasp, and it came about in this way: I saw on this stone Greek letters — yes, whole rows of them — often three abreast. Could these young ladies indulge in etymology to such an extent, for the very foundation of our alphabet is visible — Alpha and Beta? After a great deal of prowling about, I decided that a certain drizzle of knowledge seeps through the academic roofs of which the powers that be know nothing. Why, Greek wasn ' t even on the curriculum! Some particular young ladies have in these days of frivolity been spurred on by their own initiative to draw nearer the throne of learning. I firmly believe that the girls are more than what they used to be, for independently they have worked out, mastered, and finally retained various Greek letters. A more extensive study leads only to the complexity of this subject; therefore, I leave you with these phonetic characters, ideographs, and writing as sufficient material for further deciphei ' ment. A decree on this stone provides that there should be at least one copy of Ward-Belmont ' s Rosetta Stone in every room. I warn you, for there are many facsimiles. Although, like Kircher, my theory may some day be discredited, re- member me as a pioneer in this field, and let no personal jealousies do anything to ques- tion the importance of this great additional knowledge. Two hundred twenty-seven Two hundred twenty-eight CIRCUS IN TOWN WARD-BELMONT LEADS AGAIN Ward-Belmont, always in the lead with the newest and best methods of education, has again been the first to see the drastic need new pupils have for information con- cerning when, where, and how to use excuses. Now, we all make mistakes; and mis- takes, as a rule, call for excuses— and in Ward-Belmont good excuses. We, the present inmates, due to much research work, have collected a short list of ones which we feel are really worthy of said institution. The following old stand-bys are for the use of old pupils as well as the new hope- fuls, and we feel quite confident that this list will be very helpful and will insure happi- ness. We sincerely advise all Seniors to clip this article and guard it closely for the Two hundred tiventy-nine use of their children, if they be girls, when they bravely follow their mothers ' footsteps through Ward-Belmont ' s halls of knowledge. The children and all present inmates and all planning ' to be inmates are advised to learn this list by heart. I thank you! The Right Excuse for the Right Occasion 1. For reading a letter in chapel : Serious news from home. 2. For talking in chapel: Asking hymn number. 3. For wearing lip stick: Chapped lips. 4. For chewing gum : Just paper. 5. For getting a drink after lights out: Took pills. 6. For having lights on after light bell : Lost ring. 7. For talking after lights out: Roommate homesick. 8. For forgetting to sign out: Told roommate to, and she forgot. 9. When you ' re late to class: The hall clock was slow. 10. For not having a lesson: Can ' t talk above a whisper; Studied wrong chapter. 11. When a theme is overdue: Sprained finger and cannot write. W.-B. GIRLS ' PROBLEMS Dearest Henrietta: I am deeply in love, and am considering marriage with a boy who says he despises me. He is the playful type, and I don ' t know whether to believe him or not. What would you suggest? With sincerity, RUTHE DONAHOO. Dear Little Ruthe: If you want to discover the springs of his hidden passion, I ' d suggest challenging him to a duel. If he loves you, he won ' t accept; but if he doesn ' t accept, then he ' s a coward, and you won ' t want to marry him, anyway. Henrietta. Dear Henrietta: When in the presence of a man, I find myself self-conscious. When the night watch- man approaches me, I blush and ofttimes giggle. Could you help me? Anxiously yours. Bill Jackson. My Dear Bill: This is serious, I ' m afraid. Your only hape is to observe others who have admirable self-control around — er — gentlemen ? Two excellent species for observation are Clare Packard and Marion Burwell. Henrietta. Dear Henrietta: How does one get a cherry from the bottom of a glass? Your friend, Betty Hendricks. Dearest Betty: Scientifically speaking, there are three methods: (1) Hypnotize cherry. Tell cherry it is a Mexican jumping bean. Cherry will leap for joy. Grab cherry when in midair. (2) Inform cherry that folks who liva in glass houses shouldn ' t throw stones. Cherry will climb to rim of glass to drop stone over the side. Catch cherry in the act. (3) Break the glass. Cherry will find itself homeless. Will ask to be taken in. Take it. Sincerely, Henrietta. Dear Henrietta : I have a sin to confess. I am a cigarette fiend. As you know, Ward-Belmant has seemed at times to take a haughty attitude toward those who smoke. I want to con- tinue, but I can ' t go home. Suggest a method, please. Yours truly, Catherine Blackman. My Dear Catherine: Your problem is very simple. I know how the school must feel about deceit in a girl. The best thing for you to do is to be open and above board. Sit out on the campus and try it. I am sure you will never be noticed. However, if they still persist in sending you home, tell them you won ' t do it again, and everything will be all right. Helpfully yours, Henrietta. Tiro hnvdred thirty ' j PROGRAMME l?STupillesdegn6se Hafifidel '  t Canzonetta Quagliati « . Ichliebedich. Ock .mint- iotf ■!

Volume S. O. S. April il, 1928 No. 000 {Guess) THE DIARY OF MISTRESS BELLE WARD May 1 — Tuesday Had to rush to get every- thing in to-day. Lunched with Bob at the club, and then hied me off to get a Marcel and a few items for improving the fimmale physiog. Did trickle back to school about four, intending to study a while; but as Bob had sent a gorgeous corsage for the dance to-night, I waxed ani- mated over it and forgot all about French verbs and sun- dries. And, speaking of dances, the Phi Delts are all right. Had a keen time, and got in before sunrise, according to Mrs. Charlie ' s parting in- junction. So to bed. May 2 — Wednesday Cut my first two classes, but managed to drag over to chapel in time to listen in on the debate between Miss Mor- rison and Miss Sisson. The question was, Why I Believe in Short Skirts, and Miss Sisson was all for them. The debate dragged on until Miss Morrison finally gave her col- league the look that kills and picked up her books and pen- cil and flounced out. Where- upon Dr. Barton skipped up, raised Miss Sisson ' s arm to the heavens, and proclaimed her champion. Went to bed early to-night after listening in on the radio for an hour or two. SENIOR HOP The Seniors of Ward-Bel- mont entertained at their an- nual Spring Hop last Wednes- day evening from ten till sun- rise. The affair was held in Wreck Hall, which was at- tractively decorated with a profusion of flowers. The black cat and family occupied a position of prominence on a central divan. The grand march was led by Miss Betty Marr and Mr. Tom Webb, Miss Marr wear- ing an original Worth model of shell-pink taffeta. The fa- vors were distributed by the dear little Blum twins. The ladies received combination cigarette lighters and vani- ties, on which was mounted the Ward-Belmont seal, while the gentlemen had to be sat- isfied with the lighters only. The hop was voted a huge and howling success, and the gala crowd disbanded with the singing in unison of Good-by, My Lover, Good- by, capably led by Miss Vi- ola Jay.

To the Senior Class of ' 29 we do will, devise, and bequeath our beloved Senior Hall, with the doubt that they will be successful as we have been in pinning, pasting, and tacking foreign objects on its interior walls. To Dr. Barton, one gold fountain pen, that he may have no difficulty in signing the picture-show privilege petition next year. Individually: 1. I, Viola Versatile Voluptuous Vacillating Jocose Jolly Jay, do hereby will, devise, and bequeath to the oncoming Senior President one shield and baseball bat, which she must guard with tooth and nail. 2. We, Gesticulating Gushing Gleeful Glib Gilby and Merry Munching Maggie Like- able Luscious Lowe, do will, devise, and bequeath to Jumping Jean Powerful Perry and Loquacious Loranelle Hustling Houston our ability to do the Indiana Hop, with the sincere wish that they survive this terpsichorean art without spraining their respective ankles. 3. I, Stupendous Studious Masterful McLean, do w., d., and b. to Buxom Betty Both- ersome Helpful Hilarious Hendricks one piano bench in the movie Sat. night and at the gym. and in the Y. W. room, in hopes that the St. Louis Blues will live forever. 4.

Two hundred forty-one Two hundred forty-two Music Will Complete the Joys of Your Home AGNIFICENT furniture, rare paintings, BBP! and exquisite drapery are evidences of affluence and good taste; but what do these things, beautiful as they may be, con- tribute 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, Orthophonic Victrola or dependable Radiola. All of these as well as every musical requirement are available at Music Head- quarters upon most con- venient terms. O.K.HOUCK FIAMO €© 611 Church Street— Vendome Bldg.
