Senior Song ' Dear College beloved house of learning, The birthplace of culture and of art Toward you our young hearts are turning The time has come when we must part, No more in thy halls shall we assemble. No more on thy grounds shall we play, The parting makes every heart tremble We will soon be far away. Chorus Three cheers for the Black and the Red Three cheers for the hard times we ' ve had The college, our dear old Alma Mater Three cheers for the Black and the Red. The rough road of life lies before us And foes crowd concealed along the way, The trials of life are upon us And we must meet them bravely day by day. The lessons we ' ve learned at school together. Deeds of kindness and goodness you have done Shall inspire and encourage us forever ' Til the battle of life ' s fought and won. : PiT E Burr. Foreword Every one on the Editorial staff Deems the privilege accorded here In presenting to faculty and schoolmates dear Things worth while, mingled with chaff. Our aim is not only to make you laugh, Responsibility to us is very clear In this our last, our Senior year. As we hope to show m each paragraph, Labor of love, as the days passed by. Sweet labor these pages did prove. To all our mistakes please give charity And only remember our love. Forgive short comings, remember the best. Forget what you don ' t like, remember the rest. -The Staff PiTsEE DURR. . dX. Annual Staff Eddieth Morris Editor-in-Ch ief Lois Welch Business Manager Mattie Atkinson 1st Jssi.

The war-time class so grand. They are just beginning the life race, This wonderful promising band; And toward the goal each has turned her face With no fear of what lies between. May each one blaze the trail she chooses With perpetual honor, and glory too, And may endurance only come with the bruises. Much joy and happiness to the good and true. Here ' s to the girls, the women now! May success crown their eiForts their whole lives thru. They who honor their homes and college This wonderful promising crew. They are the best you must acknowledge, The living example of how They may live to enjoy their lives ' result. And never suffer acutely the pain of defeat. May all of their good not remain occult. But stand out as a monument noble, concrete. Now, here ' s to the girls all patriots true! They have borne their part and will not stop ' Till they ' ve helped with all their strength and might To cheer on those going Over the Top — To the sacred call of Duty ' s right On with the spirit of Democracy pure! May each one keep her Home-Fires Burning ' Till the days of war are done.

Dearest Ruby: And you are really some where in France. Shall I ever forget our high school days together and that summer when we planned to enter college together? Perhaps you would like to know what we are doing here in school while you are giving your service to Old Glory at the front, and I am going to write you a brief account of our college life. As Freshmen we entered to take up our great struggle for the cause of intelligence. Our first weeks were spent in learning class-mates and faculty, and in writing homesick letters. This gave way to study when we learned that we must become acquainted with the French, German, Spanish, and even the old Roman fathers, whose gods came to haunt our dreams. Ball games, lectures, meetings, and occasionally a midnight feast kept up our spirit and we were transformed triumphantly into Sophomores. During our Sophomore year we were introduced to the sciences, many of which we thought horded on the super- natural. We were forced to suffer the agonies produced by mathematics and to undergo the most severe of all tests; the study of Psychology. Victory comes by failures and we conquered. From these we lightly turned our attention when school hours were over to athletics and fun. PiTSEE Burr Juniors! Yes that is what we were called during our third year. We lived and dreamed. Dreamed of privileges and Junior receptions. Ihe night was long and the dream beautiful and we easily slipped into Seniordom. We were then twenty-two of the happiest and gayest of girls, but alas! While we were dreaming our wonderful dream of life, the dawn was broken, and from over the distant hills we could see the impending cloud of a great battle for democracy and could hear the faint beat of a drum calling us into the ranks and now as we are drawmg near the end of our school life we have been transformed from girlhood into womanhood, and we shall enter life ' s school with the work of a woman to do. We have each heard the call of the hour and we stand strong and steadfast ready to serve our country anywhere at any time, and bring honor to our Alma Mater which has trained us to follow the paths of the right and to obey the call of duty. I shall sign myself simply. The Class Historian. PiisLE Burr Prophecy THE EXPERIMENT No IV. October 24, 1917. THE day I was chosen as the one to prophesy for my classmates, I was very much elated. Of course I thought it would be quite an easy matter and there would be nothing for me to do but wait until the prophetess of Delphi or the three kind fates: Clotho, Lachesis and Atopos came toaid me by giving me the information I so much desired. Although, I waited long and patiently nothing of this kind occurred, but finally the information I was seeking came from an entirely different source and at a time when I least expected it. It was late one Wednesday afternoon that this wonderul event, of which I am about to tell you, happened to me. I was in the Chemical Laboratory finishing an experiment CH3CI3 that I was vitally interested in. All at once a violent explosion occurred and the room became filled with the fumes of the CH3CI3. In an instant the fumes over-powered me and I discovered myself visiting in the etherial realm of the gods. Presently, all around me and over me hovered throngs of equisite spirits who stooped to whisper their pleasant messages in my ear; while in a distant corner of the room appeared Minerva, the goddess of wisdom, clad in glitter- ing armor, chanting a warlike song and holding a small, gold vessel in her hand. The spirits immediately disappeared at the unexpected appearance of this war- like being. There was a great noise and the whole room seemed to tremble. Soon all was quiet and the goddess Minerva spoke. My dear child, be not afraid, I have come to make you happy. I have come to reveal to you the future of each member of the class of ' 18. Take this vessel of chemicals; when I am gone hold them in the flame of your little alcolol lamp and you will see the future of each of your classmates. I was trembling with fear, but, being so anxious to know what we would be doing in years to come, I very soon lighted the contents of one envelope of chemicals marked with a big S, evidently brimstone, and a great white smoke of S0_ appeared. As soon as the smoke cleared away, what should I see before me but an immense American Base Hospital somewhere in France. A large door opened and I found myself in the operating room of this hospital, which was very nicely equipped. In a few minutes two Red Cross nurses appeared whom I recognized at once to be two of my dearest classmates, Eddieth and Lois. Ed- dieth seemed happy as usual and was reading a note from a Duke who had 4G = 1 ...ii Burr become very much infatuated with her, but Lois looked a bit pale and worried. I peeped over Eddieth ' s shoulder as she was reading the billet doux and read the following lines: Je vous adore, Mademoiselle, je vous aime de tout mon coeur, vous etes meme la seule personne que j ' aime au monde . In a very few minutes a stretcher was brought in and upon it I saw a very handsome, blond man whom I recognized to be the same one whose picture usually occupies the greater part of Lois ' dresser. Just behind came a stalwart man, with raven locks whom I realized was the surgeon and Eddieth ' s Dent, who was to perform the operation. Just as I was about to speak a word of consolation to Lois, this vision faded and as a grey mist cleared from my eyes a sight after my own heart appeared. Through ultra violet rays, I saw a church beautituUy decorated in palms and orange blossoms, and an immense pipe organ was sounding forth the en- trancing notes of Wagner ' s Tannhauser. I looked intently and coming down the aisle, elegantly gowned in shimmering white and carrying a most gorgeous bouquet of brides roses and lilies ot the valley, I saw the bride, Edith, on the arm of an extremely tall man, handsomely groomed m khaki, whose very eyes beamed with happiness. Just behind came the matron of honor, my Big Sis, who used to be Kate; but now the name was changed a bit. She, too was richly gowned and tossed her head as though she would like to give me a few more of her old time do ' s and don ' ts. I would have been content to linger for hours over this beautiful scene but it soon vanished. I next burned the contents of the envelope marked Na2C03 and through the yellow rays I saw a sight that filled me with surprise. It was a scene in Johns Hopkins University where the members of the graduating class were receiving their M.D. degrees. The stage was beautifully decorated and there were about thirty-five students in those horrid caps and gowns. I listened with intense interest to each name called as the diplomas were delivered for I was wondering which one of my friends I would find here. Imagine my surprise when I heard a coarse voice say, Doctor Laird, and the same sweet Irene stepped forward with a very dignified air and took her diploma. Her hopes and aspirations have at last been reached, I thought. Just as I was straining my ears to hear the next name called the scene changed to an entirely different one. In the same yellow rays, I saw Mary, dressed in white cap and apron in the lobby of the Belmont Hotel in New York City demonstrating the newest model of the Burkett Electrical Instruments. I was about to ask her for a piece of that nice cake she had just baked, but the picture faded, and I saw only the yellow rays from the NA2CO3. In the greenish-yellow flames from the Chlorine vapor, (CI), I saw a glittering scene in the ball room of the Grunewald Hotel in New Orleans. Amid 47 Pike Burr the confette, dazzling lights and splendor of this room, in and out, among the palms, glided couples to the soft entrancing strands of music which came from a concealed orchestra. What is this spectacular occasion? Nothing other than the famous King and Queen ' s Ball of Mardi Gras. In the midst of all this, I see the Queen a very coy, shy little maiden, dressed in duchess satin with a long, brocaded train, embroidered in jewels and bordered in ermine. The king a tall, black-haired, brown-eyed man, proud of his queen, leads her to the throne in the midst of the dancing to view her subjects and whom should I see taking her place on this royal seat but the same, sweet, pretty Anna Lee! The next envelope of chemicals was marked NO2. I had no idea what to expect, but I thought surely I will not have many more shocks like the former ones. Soon the chemicals produced a reddish-brown flame and in it a vision appeared which, at first, was so crowded I could not imagine what it was. As the reddish-brown mist faded I discovered I was in the city hall of a small town in Indiana. There were throngs of very mannishly dressed ladies grouped about the door and all around in the building, engaged in conversa- tion. In a few minutes, just as I was puzzled to death to know what kind of a meeting this could be I heard one say: Now you know Miss Red will make us the best governor. She has cer- tainly made our state a good senator. Immediately, I realized I was at the polls and that my school chum was being discussed for governor. As I looked over the crowd I saw another one of my classmates, Dora Woods, who seemed to be soliciting for Maggie. Soon I saw a young lady coming down the street in a Hudson super-six and a tiny, little tot with big, bright, blue eyes and black curls was sitting by her side. The little girl was very busily engaged in con- versation with her mother and as the car came nearer I heard the little girl say: Mother, you are going to vote for Miss Red, aren ' t you.? Hush, Jennie, dear, don ' t tell people who mother intends to vote for. As the car stopped in front of the city hall and I was about to speak a word with my old pal, Jennie Louise, and perhaps meet the lucky man who was in the car beside her, the picture faded and I saw nothing but the flames from the burning chemicals. The next picture was a most pathetic one. I saw a beautiful girl coiled up in a big rocker beside a bright, merry, glowing fire. Her face was blistered with tears and in her hand she held the badly worn remains of a cablegram. From the part of the message I could read I learned that it was about the death of her lover in France who had gone Over There to defend the stars and stripes. Soon the door opened and two handsomely gowned ladies walked in and as the picture became more vivid I saw that the two ladies were none other than Lois Buckley and Willie Lee Young. There you are, Ruth, cried Willie Lee, Still pining your heart away. Aren ' t you going to Arva ' s to the dinner party? PiTSLE Burr I thought all my classmates had about been accounted for by this time, but still one more envelope of chemicals remained, so I lighted it and through the beautiful scarlet rays of the burning lithium I saw throngs of people gathered in front of a very beauthiful Opera House. In a very few minutes I found myself on the inside and as the rich, velvet curtains were drawn aside I thought, Energy and determination have done wonders many a time, for there stood Mae Ringold, Glyda Connely and Eva Schwartz, the most noted and celebrated dramatist, violinist, and pianist of the day. Just as this last beautiful vision faded away, I was roughly aroused by several h ands which grasped me at the same time and I heard familiar voices say: What do you mean by taking the laboratory as a napping place and having us alarmed to death for fear you had eloped with a soldier? At once I realized that I had been in a deep trance and that none of my beautiful visions were real but that I was still an M. W. C. Senior striving for a diploma in the class of ' 18. M. C. A.

Doubt Not Look up oh, doubting youth, Look up above this world of doubt And see the star, that shines for you To guide you on to victory. Thou must not hear their bluff But ope ' thy ears for higher calls. And tho the road may seem so rough, The goal that ' s won is worth the pain. Look up oh, doubting youth, Forget they ' ve said You can ' t, And climb the rounds upheld by truth, Until you reach that highest goal. The way may seem so drear, The goal so far, and too, so dim, But forward, on, heed not their jeers, ' Tis courage, truth and will, that win. Remember by gone fears.? They seem as mounts that blocked the way. These trials now will in future years. As those that are past, seem but a dream. — Junior Poet.

The feast was ready by this time and Connely, Laird and Atkinson, Sr., came flying in quite out of breath and with their faces all Red dived into the Welch-rarebit as though they had not had a bite since supper.

It is one of the ideals of this school to train the girls for Christian service whether they are to be home-makers, or fill some of the business places left vacant by the men being called to arms. It would be the fulfillment of our highest ideal, if each girl, keeping step with the Master should strive daily to become more like Him. His work cannot reach its best success unless every follower puts forth his best effort. We feel that poor attendance to religious and study classes and slothfulness in the service will never accomplish the ends we have in view. The progress of the work here is in the hands of the pupils, and loving voluntary service is necessary. Since the ideal of this school is service, we must learn the ways by which we are best able to serve, we must become acquainted with the different fields of work and learn the needs of each field. Through the Y. W. A. we learn about the phases of christian work. We see how many of the problems in these fields have been solved successfully, and the Master ' s word is rapidly spreading through- out the universe. It is the aim of the Y. W. A. to instill in the minds of every member that her service is needed and that she must put forth her best effort if she would be worthy of so great a cause. To aid us in the study of how to take advantage of our different opportunities for service, we have sixty mission study classes which are doing a great work. These classes, which meet once a week, are led by the girls. The leaders themselves meet each week and discuss the problems and progress of their classes and thus get many helpful suggestions as to how to in- crease the attendance and the interest of their classes. This year there is a leader ' s course which gives the girls many points on becoming better leaders and workers. During this year four B. Y. P. U. ' s have been organized and much interest has been manifested in these meetings. Through these unions each young person has an opportunity to learn to do the Lord ' s work, during the period of life when she is learning so many other things, she is becoming awake to the needs and learning how best to be able to meet them. PiTME Burr. In addition to the work spoken of above, our girls have opportunity each evening, immediately following the supper hour, to attend one of the volunteer prayer meetings. The students in each dormitory assemble for a few minutes, with one of their own number as leader, for singing, scripture reading or quota- tions and prayer. These brief twilight services are a source of inspiration and spiritual strengthening to all who attend. The attendance of the students at the regular mid-week prayer meetings of the church has also been very gratifying during this session. Under the leadership of the pastor, these meetings have been very refreshing, instructive and interesting throughout. This forty-minutes period each Wednesday evening is of great worth to us in all our other religious services. Especial effort has been put forth this year to make our Sunday School a real school for the study and teachmg of God ' s word. The year ' s work was started by thoroughly grading the school on the basis ot age, departmentizing and classifying all the pupils from the Beginners ' through the adult department. To emphasize the work to be done during the week, as well as to give proper credit for atten- dance and interest on Sunday, the following grading system was introduced, effective above the Primary Department and on the basis of which every pupil is graded every Sunday: For attending Sunday School ...... 40% For preparing Sunday School lesson before coming , 15% For attending preaching service the preceding Sunday 15% For reading the Bible every day ..... 10% For brmgmg own Bible to Sunday School 10% For bringing an offering to Sunday School (irrespective of amount) ........ 10% Total . 100% The reports are made by classes and from the class reports, together with the officers report, is compiled the average per centage of the whole school. All classes making as much as 90% are placed on the Honor Roll each Sunday. The interest engendered and the effectiveness of the work of the school are shown in the general average of the school for the months October to February, inclusive 85%. To catch the significance of this grade it should be understood that a class is penalized two points on general average for each absentee. We are grateful to the Master for all His blessings given us and trust that He shall guide us further and onward into paths of greater usefulness in Kingdom service. Before the Disciples could feel one wit of interest in a lost world that Jesus felt, they had to see the needs of the world somewhat as Jesus did. Hence He commanded them to Look. They had to look in order to know. The ' had to know in order to feel. They had to feel in order to be willing to go. So, to- day, those who know most about the needs of the world do the greatest service. It is our prayer that here the students get the pure water of life — the real in- spiration to true service, and the No poor thirsty soul go from this school.

C. campus becomes flooded with soldiers and due also to the fact that it isn ' t at all proper for col- lege girls to flirt with soldiers, a new law has been passed. It is that teachers are to guard the walks each Sunday afternoon. It is thought that when the men see these guards they will seek more peaceful looking ground for their hang out.

PiiME Burr Our Red Cross Most all of our girls have been actively engaged in doing all kinds of Red Cross work this session. Our Red Cross work is carried on through the chapter in Hattiesburg and through this chapter over one hundred sweaters and many other knitted garments, fifty-seven convalescent jackets, twenty-six -hospital shirts, twelve pair of pajamas have been turned in. The little girls of the college as well as the older girls are doing their bit and they have knitted a quilt for the French orphans. The knitting bag is the most popular dress apparel among the M. W. C. girls, however, they are distinctly knitting bags and the girls knit. Besides the work done through the Red Cross Chapter of Hattiesburg much work has been done for our local camp. Camp Shelby. For the hospital alone about seven dozen bed pockets have been made. Flowers, encouraging verses, and joke books are being sent to the sick soldiers to help brighten their days in the hospital. As we are very interested in Camp Shelby we have adopted Y. M. C. A. Number 2, and are doing every. thing that we can to make it an attracted place for our soldiers together in hours of work and play. We ' re college girls and under rules, We know are just and true While keep our rules we do our bit. So we ' ve adopted you. Our own dear brothers are far away Fighting for our colors true ; Other girls will look after them So we ' ve adopted you. i Here ' to the boys from Indiana The ones of 152 . - We ' ve quite an interest in you, You see, we ' ve adopted you. We ' re proud of our ne.v possession. We ' ve a right to be ' tis true, ' ' 1 We ' re glad to make the visit Because we ' ve adopted you. This Y is ours, we claim it ' Twas given us when ' twas new.
