®If Ptn lurr VOLUME IV. NINETEEN -SIXTEEN PUBLISHED ANNUALLY BY THE STUDENT BODY OF Mississippi Woman ' s College HATTIESBURG, MISSISSIPPI THE PINE BURR MRS. MAE WALLER BATSON 37 Ilg ' i ' THE PINE BURR DEDICATED TO THIS, THE FOURTH ISSUE OF THE PINE BURR, IN LOVING RECOGNITION OF HER UNPARALLELED SERVICE IN LEADING GIRLS TO THE HIGHEST DEVELOPMENT K5J 4 THEPINEBURR Mrs. Mae Waller Batson MRS. JIAE WALLER BATSON was born in Silver Creek, Lawrence County, ] Iississippi, the daughter of William M. and Clara Longino Waller. I would give the exact date of Mrs. Batson ' s birth were it not that the general public would stand aghast that one so young should hold so high and so important a position. Graduating at the Lawrence County High School, she pursued her studies at Hillman College making a specialty of Music. After having taken further courses in Music in Chicago, she taught music for several years in Silver Creek and Mount Olive. Her career as a Music Teacher and as Miss Mae Waller was brought to an early end by her marriage in 1904, to Islr. D. L. Batson, then cashier of the Bank of Poplarville and afterwards National Bank Examiner. Her happy married life was terminated in 1911, by the death of Mr. Batson. Just about this time the Baptist State Convention decided to es- tablish the Woman ' s College and Mrs. Batson, who desired to give her life to the care of her little son, Waller, and to specific Christian work, accepted the posi- tion of Lady Principal. Among the many evidences that the Woman ' s College is the child of Providence, no fact stands out clearer than the coming of Mrs. Batson to care for its girls. By birth and marriage she is closely connected with many of the most prominent families of South Mississippi, — the Wallers, the Batsons, the Dales, and the Longinos, and others. Her culture, inherited and ac- quired, her charms of person and personality, her wealth of talents and her exten- sive preparation — all these things have made her capable of filling the highest po- sition in the land — and who shall say that she dees not adorn it ! jMany diverse qualities are essential in a Lady Principal — firmness, inher- ent justice, the alnlity to say No, kindness, patience, a knowledge of girls, a knowledge of young men, unerring judgment, gentleness, unselfishness, sympa- thy, personal interest, and in and above all, a genuine love for the students entrusted to her care. All these qualifications and many others ' Mrs. Batson possesses. And then as a golden crown into which these jewels are set, she holds a loyalty for her college as intense as that of any patriot for the country on whose altar he lays his all. It is always a difficult task for a monarch to rule with a firm hand and yet win and retain the respect and love of his subjects. In the little kingdom of the Woman ' s College, Mrs. Batson has done this very thing. The girls share with her their good things, entrust to her their secrets and confide to her their darling ambitions. And mingled with their opinions, there is at all times a feeling that a thing is right because she has said so. In these four years during which the Woman ' s College has grown up and become a power in the land, Mrs. Batson has had a part in every movement for its upbuilding and extension. Her warm heart, her unfailing intuition, her ready wit, her generous hand, have contributed to every step of its growth. Yet in her youth, I pray that the last day of a long life shall be spent within its sacred precincts. J. L. Johnson.

A kind word for all, a genial manner, an amiable disposition, firm convictions and the courage to voice them, are among the jirominent characteristics which sh e possesses. ' ' Gussie is mischievous and industrious too ; She ' s never without something to do. The Class Pedigree EVERY thing in the world worthy of mention or consiileration has a pedigree — even a class. We, the Class of 1916, are a class worthy of mere than ordinary consider- ation. Therefore, it stands to reason that we have a pedigree well worth looking up. The pedigree of any person or thing must, in the very nature of things begin at the very beoinning. But who can always trace the ccurse of events back to their origin with any sense of exactness? And who can always recognize the first seed of any development, even when it first puts forth its tiny tendrils of aspiration, and we say that it has begun to sjirout? We might look back through the ages to the davs when the gods held their mighty councils on Mount Olymjius and designing the destiny of men, first saw that in the year, 1916 and in the month of May, a certain band of girls of just such characteristics as ours, should be absolutely essential to the progress and well-being of the world. We might trace the various stages that each one of these individuals has passed ' , and compile a family tree that might reach to the very skies, that each might be able to boast of the long line of ancestry, that wou ' d admit her to Daughters of the Revolution, the Colonial Dames, the Pilgrim Fathers and every other of these descendants of Mayflower stock, whose pedigree amtunts to so little, after all, to us who can trace our antecedents even back to the Garden of Eden, and write ourselves. Daughters of Adam — truly enough, ' ' From yon blue heavens above us bent, The gardener, Adam and his wife Smile at our claims of long descent. They had no pedigree at all to boast about, and yet whose names are more promi- nently remembered throughout all history than those of these same progenitors of ours. Nevertheless, we, the Class of 1916, have our pedigree, and in the revelations of char acter that come to light from day to day, it would be easy, indeed, to compile a mag- nificent class Tree, if we felt inclined. In the fall of the year, 1912, the September zephyrs blew from the North, South, East, and West of the State tf Mississippi to the campus of the Woman ' s College seven- teen young ladies, green ignorant, and homesick, who in spite of their verdure, foresaw the problems of school which were to be solved. Through all the four years these girls have net only solved problems, they have been problems for the various members of the faculty to solve. In the beginning of our Sophomore year, there were some who ilropped out while others took their places — and thus it has been for every year of our course. Through these years they have been very good about sharing the fruit, forbidden or otherwise, of their gathering wilh each other giving each one a chance to say, She tempted me and I ate! So we all feel sure that we are descendants of those first parents of the world. We have all, in volley ball, basket ball and kindred pursits shown some distinguishing characteristics of barbarism too, and several, through this, that, or the other mannerism could be distinctly traced back to the clays of the cave men and the cliff dwellers of antiquity. In art, science, and literature the influence of Greek ancestry is selfl eviilent, in beauty and grace we feel that we are even akin to the old Greek goddesses themselves; and Mr. Johnson says in the way we learned the order of a transposed sentence in German we show to a marked degree our direct descent from the old Teutonic race. We may be able to trace our ancestry back far enough to claim kin with the French, English, Scotch, Irish, German, Italian or Spanish, be that as it may, this we know, we are just plain, every-day Americans of the reddest blood of all, who say to others, I know you, proud to be your name! Your pride is yet no mate for mine — too proud to care from whence I came! So, however widely the branches of our class Tree may spread, we assure you it is not to cover any multitude of sins in our pedigree, but to be broad enough and high enough for the aspirations and ambitions of us all. We can all boast in no vain terms of the Big B ' s — Birth, Breeding, Brawn and Brain — and if we give the greater attention to the latter two, it is because it is the keynote of the American spirit to discriminate in this way, and to realize that it is not what we were, but what we are, that writes the big record for us upon the scroll of life. And that, while our history along these lines has been one of which we might well be pardoned for boasting, the brightest entry of all will be for many years to come, and perhaps throughout all our lives the four years ' of study in the Mississippi Woman ' s College, and this triumphant passing out of the doors to work out, in the world, for the glory and honor of our school, a new pedigree which shall extend to the very shores of eternity. HISTORIAN. THEPINEBURR 23 Class Poem The poets may write of Springtime ' s sweet flowers, And dwell in verse of the April ' s warm showers ; And others may think of the skies so blue And write of the fathomless old Ocean too. But I, of dear classmates wish to tell, While lingers sadness of our last farewell. They ' ve various talents and they ' ve various looks. And of course they vary in lessons and books ; Through their various classes they ' ve labored with care, And you ' ll hear people praising them everywhere; Mississippi has awakened at last from her nap. And found a real college at home on her map. There were thirteen proud Seniors that last happy day, When we got our Diplomas and all went away ; We shed a few tears, then we smiled for, you see. We had no way of telling what the future would be. But our lives were before us, we are all young and strong. We thought we ' d conquer the whole world before very long. And Oh, my dear Classmates, at the setting of sun, Did we faint ere we saw a new day had begun ? We ' ve labored and toiled, throughout the long hours. And vanquished the foe, made the enemy ours ; And we ' ll say with a smile at the end of our race, This world they eall Earth is a lovely old place. M. K..

Hear once more your learned teachers. Be once more withiii your walls.

And the cement walk is there, all right, It now runs down the hill, ' Tis eight feet wide and on each side. Blooms the yellow of daffodil!

Oh, 3-es they ' ve got our names there On a brass plate which will be An everlasting tribute For all the world to see. And aren t you glad you gave it, The small five cents per week And aren ' t you glad you boosted ' Till the blister hurt your feet. You ' d hardly know the College Tho ' you ' d love it as before And wish you could recall those da3 ' s And give a little more. So here ' s a cheer for Johnson And the same sized one for you For Bennett and the Faculty And all the others, too.

Johnson, Jr. As leader of the Y. W. A. in our college she is an inspiration to every stu- dent, and her work is even now telling in many parts of the state where girls are going out to take their places as real factors in community and church life. Her infiuenee is felt by all who are associated with her and no pupil or teacher leaves our walls whcse vision is not broadened, whose sympathies are not deepened and who has not been inspired to a higher Christian life. No more fitting tribute can be paid her than in the beautiful pen-picture of Lowell : She is a woman — one in whom The springtime of her childish years Hath never lost its fresh perfume, Though knowing well that life hath room For many blights and many tears. But in herself she dwelleth not, Although no home were half so fair; No simplest duty is forgot. Life hath no dim and lonely spot That doth not in her sunshine share. She doeth little kindnesses Which most leave undone, or despise ; For naught that sets one heart at ease, Or giveth happiness or peace Is low-esteemed in her eyes. She hath no scorn of common things, And though she seems of other birth, Round us her heart entwines and clings And patiently she folds her wings To tread the humble paths of earth. Blessing she is ! God made her so. And deeds of week-day holiness Fall from her noiseless as th« snow. Nor hath she ever chanced to know That ought were easier than to bless. THEPINEBURR 65 Youne Woman ' s Auxilliarv JN OUR C ' hrii-tian wcrk we desire that the girls see that it takes not only in- Jl telleetual development, but also the divine spark that eonaes from specific ' spiritual development to make real leaders. If we are to enlist and instate our Baptist young people to carry on the wcrk of our denomination, it has to be done during the years in which they are getting their education along other lines; therefore, we consider it one of the greatest reasons for the carrying on of Christian work in our school. It is to train leaders who have learned to pray the prayer Thy kingdom come ; leaders whose unselfish ' efforts will be given in our public schools, in our public offices, in our homes, bringing in the kingdom of our Lord, and his Christ. We reccgnize the fact that no girl can make a good leader, who has not first learned to follow. A girl who has not had Christian training cannot compare as a rule in the realm of home-maker, with the girl who has been taught the Bible, whose heart has been fired by high ideals, and whose book-learning has been illumined by the principles of Christian living. We want to equip girls to make a living, but higher still to build a life that is worth while; to make homes, Christian homes, which after all, are the strongholds of our faith. One paramount reason for carrying on our Christian work in this college is this : The college period of life is frequently a period of doubt. Children reared in Christian homes and converted before they go awa.y to school, some- times have their minds filled with doubt concerning their religious beliefs be- cause in many cases tlrey are changing the habits of lifetime; the reason is de- veloping rapidly; and they come in contact with different moral environment. We aim to dispel all doubts that may arise during this period by trying to bring them in personal touch with the Christ life. To train the girls for a greater fie ' d of usefulness, to emphasize the value of co-operation, and to give them a definite idea of the work, we have had this session forty-five IMiss-on Study Classes, Each of the classes lias from eight to twelve members, and has a leader who is hers ' elf a student. The twilight pra.yer meetings held in both Dormitories each evening were started by the girls when the school was established and have been carried on by volunteers from among the girls ever since. We make a special study of our different mission fields and various phases of our organized work in the Young Woman ' s Auxiliary. This year we have attained every point in the Standard of Excellence for a college Young Woman ' s Auxiliaries. We contribute of our financial resources to the support of the special ob.ieets that have been given over to the young women and also do per- sonal . ervice work striving to send the girls out to walk in the steps of the Master who went about doing good. Strengthened to suffer Gifted to subdue the wrongs of selfi.shness. Quietly to sacrifice the ambition of self-advancement. Unto a task of seeming loveliness. Yet Godlike in its purpose, 66 THEPINEBURR The Stagedriver ' s Story Tbe storm raged furiously on the outside, beating the tiny window panes of Good Luck Inn with its angry fists, shaking the horrifying moans of warning as it beat around the chimney, and echoed against the rocks of the mountains be- yond. The half dozen passengers that arrived on the evening coach were hud-, died together in the old-fashioned room of the mountain inn, that served for lobby, living room and dining room. Tbe logs in the great stone fireplace crackled and roared, sending bright beams against the rough walls and convert- ing the whole room into summer. The landlord, a smiling white-haired old gentleman, was earnestly laboring to convince his guests that although the storm was the worst he had seen for many years, the Inn Good Luck had been witness to many such wild nights, and was capable of standing many more without the slightest danger to any one under her shelter. Supper being over, the passengers, reassured by the landlord ' s convincing smile drew up around the fire, and soon forgetting the fierce storm, sank into delicious medita- tions and dream-pictures that played in the blue blazes, with glowing coals for a screen. The six travelers seemed to have made an especial effort to see just how many entirely different types of human nature they could crowd into one tiny stage coach, and settle down together for the night in the most out of the way spot on earth. Eougly sketching, the group consisted of first a dude with a monocle, nothing in the wide world seemed of half so much importance to him as his looks. He was busy pick ' ng every tiny speck of dirt from his clothes, ar- ranging his bright red tie, and in fact, rearranging his toilet from the part in his oily locks to his patent leather shoes. The second was a little peroxide blonde who fainted one time right after another at the storm, until she found that the distinguished engineer had no intention of offering his arm for a sup- port. Fate alone only knows what tliat hunch of frills was doing in such a country. The next was a clergyman with bald head, reverent blue eyes, and with a prayer book tucked snugly under his thin arm, and then there was a fussy middle-aged man who fumed at his pipe, growled at the weather and lamented various other things that no one els_ noticed. The sixth and by far the most striking of the travelers sat in the corner, a.s if wholly unaware of every one and everything in the world. Originally she had been a beautiful woman ; she had b ' g dark eyes that kept you wondering if it was unhappiness or pride that burned so brightly in them. Her fair hair was drawn simply from her fore- head and knotted on her neck, and her really beautiful mouth was set in such tight, straight lines, that it seemed as if she never meant to smile again. Josh, the ancient .stage coach driver, had his accustom  ! place in the other chimney corner. Being a simple-hearted mountaineer with no education whatever except the teachings of nature, and believing that honesty and truthfulness are the only two things in the world to know anywav. he did not underetand nor appreciate the moody silence of the strangers, and so he piped up in his cracked voice and suggested that someone tell a story to pass away the evening. Probably the engineer thought that he would be bored with a silly love story from the peroxide blonde or a real tragedy from the strange woman with dark eyes, to send him to bed with a bad taste in his mouth. Anyway, no sooner had Josh made his suggestion than he was asked by the engineer to tell the story THEPINEBURR 67 himself. Josh rublied his grizzly liead, thought a minute and began this story that 1 am going to tell you, not in the rough old mountaineer ' s dialect as he told it, but just in my own words : It was forty years ago that winter. The snow was deeper than it had ever been before on that trail, making any manner of traveling dangerous. That particular evening Josh had only one passenger, a tiny little woman with the most babyish face and saddest blue e yes he had ever seen. He had scarcely reached Good Luck Inn with his strange passenger when the storm broke with all its fury. The little woman did not fjeem to be frightened; she just sat before the fire with an expression of despair on her face and stared into glowing coals. She would not eat her supper and she refused to be comforted or to look the least bit happier. About nine o ' clock, when the storm was at its worst, there was a terrible pounding at the door. The landlord felt a hesitancy in letting any one reckless enough to venture out into such a storm through his doors He fin- ally let the bar down and a poor exhausted messenger boy stumbled into the room. Coming in out of such intense darkness he was so blinded that he could not see the occupants of the room, but as soon as he could regain breath enough he asked for the little woman that came by the coach that day. On hearing this question gasped, the little woman sprang to the boy ' s side and eagerly grasped the note held out to her. As soon as sbe read it she gave a de- spairing cry and fell on her knees at Josh ' s feet and begged him to take lier back that night. He and the landlord both tried to convince her that the very idea of going out in such a storm and on an uncertain mountain trail was mad- ness. After much persuasion they got her off to bed. The next morning the stage coach was missing. A quarter of a mile down the trail they found the horses, a perfect mangle of broken bones. The little woman was lying against a big rock. She might have been sleeping, her face looked so serene and happy turned up to th, l)right sunlight. The note that the messenger brought her was tightly clasped in her stifif fingers, and upon reading it they found just two words, Come back. Whatever might have been the meaning of these two words that caused the poor little creature to steal out and brave the fierce storm and even die with a smile of at least I tried, was never known. Anyway as Josh told his story the strange woman with dark eyes drew nearer and nearer the edge of her chair; her eyes got bigger and brighter as the story progressed; at the close she was standing by Josh ' s chair, not with pride and misery on her face, but with an expression of peace and forgiveness. In the sweetest, softest voice in the world she told the old stage driver tjiat she would be returning with him in the morning, she at least would not wait until it was too late. Clarissa Dale.

When David dwelt in days? of old In that fair land of Canaan By Great Jehovah he was told To pitch his tent in Hebron. ' Twas then a city much renowned ' Tis now as it was then Where names of famous men re.sound And hence it ' s ever been. And when you think of those wlio dwelt In Hebron long ago Naught of wonder need be felt Just say, ' Twas always so. THE PINE BURR My Dear Marion : I believe the usual topic of conversation is the weather, and as I am like most people I shall begin there. Perfect days, hah! If I had old James Russell Lowell and he piped anything about perfect days I would set him on my front door steps and let the rain trickle down his poetical neck until he was ready to quote Longfellow ' s Rainy Days. Our lively little town has been stirred from center to circumference by one of the most sensational trials that was ever held within its limits and thus brings to a close a story in which I feel so sure you will be interested that I am snatching a few minutes from my books to tell it to you. About twenty years ago there lived in the town of Anguila a rich planter, Dr. Barber, with his wife and daughter, Mildred. This girl married Mr. Her- bert Seymore, a young man engaged in the lumber business. After two years Mrs. Seymore died, leaving a little dark-eyed baby girl whose every feature cried out for love and sympathy. The last words the dy- ing motlier said to her heart-broken husband was, ' ' Herbert, let mother help you of this and they quietly began a search for their little Mildred. Mr. Seymore hated to leave his little girl, but he was offered a position in some new timber region and as he had become so restless since the loss of his com- panion he decided to entrust ] Iildred for a time to the care of her grand-mother. Before leaving he purchased some Indian ink and tatooed a pansy on the right ankle of the infant; then he placed her in the hands of the nurse, who was to take her to Anguila. Four years later Mr. Seymore came home but Mildred would not notice him at all. If he attempted to play with her she would kick and scream like a mad person. Finally one day she was bribed to be friends with her papa and fell asleep in his arms. The first thing Mr. Seymore did was to remove the stocking, but to his surprise he could not find the pansy. He told Dr. Barber of this and they quietly began a search for their little Milderd. Days grew to weeks ; months and even years passed, but Mildred could not be found. Dr. Barber had become so fond of the little girl whom he had thought was his grand-daughter that he said he would consider her his until the mystery was solved. Mr. Seymore finally came to Hattiesburg and went into the lumber business. His oft ' ices were in a building right next to those of a brilliant young lawyer, Miss Mildred Hannah. Just think of it, Mississippi girls being allowed to enter the ranks of so many professions. Now Mr. Seymore and Miss Hannah became good friends, she being his legal adviser in all business transactions. I ' m sure you read an account of the bogus checks passed here some time in January. Mr. Seymore was thought to be the guilty party and his trial was set for March 18th, and Mildred Hannah was his lawyer. THEPINEBURR 87 The day for the trial Ix gan. Everyone was thrilled at the way Mildred handled the case, and waited breathlessly to hear the decision not guilty. ilildred slipped out for she wanted to avoid the throng that was making their way to her. She wanted to be with her mother and twin sister and tell them of her success. Just as she started across the street an auto whirled by and knocked her down. Mr. Seymore was the first to see her and rushed to her as- sistance. The stocking of her right foot was badly torn and the first thing he saw was the tatooed pansy. Jlildred was taken to the hospital and Mr. Seymore went for her relatives. He told Mrs. Hannah of his lost child and how he had tatooed the pansy on her ankle when she was only two weeks old, and the woman knew that her dark-eyed child was the real ] Iildred Seymore. Mrs. Hannah then told how a tiny baby was kit on her door steps years before; how she had taken the little one to her heart and home and cared for it as she had her own child of about the same age. It seems the nurse with whom Mr. Seymore left ilildred wanted her own child to fall heir to Dr. Barber ' s money, and to accomplish this end, she carri ?d her child to Dr. Barber ' s home. iMildred refuses to give up her practice and to leave the woman who has mothered her and as soon as she is able Mr. Seymore is going to have her, her mother and sister, taken to Three Oaks, his suburban home. It seems that luck played well with the nurse for she and her daughter died about seven months ago with some kind of fever while on a tour through Europe with Mr. Barber. Some poet has said The day is done, and the darkness, Falls from the wings of night and as this darknass is falling around me and I hear the faithful old study bell ringing out to remind me of the preparation I must make for tomor- row, I shall retreat and sign myself, Lh.lian.
