LAGRANGE COLLEGE, LAGRANGE, GEORGIA

HISTORY OF THE SENIORS OF '24

Twas back in the year 1920, that a frail craft embarked on the ocean of LaGrange College, bearing as its frightened little crew seven weak and trembling freshmen. Their names go down in history as: Mary Lane, Cap- tain; B. A. Teasley, first mate; Ruth Cotton, second mate; Sallie Brown, skipper; Tommie Martin, chaplain; Grace Hale, stewardess; Lillian Clark, pilot.

Extracts from the log of the ship will tell the tale of the voyage.

September's Record: Mary Lane, captain, terribly sea-

sick, suffering excruciatingly because cf having received a letter of refusal

i Corra Harris of her youthful, poetic dreams as shown in "A Maid- en's Prayer," written just before the embarkation.

November: "B. A. Teasley, first r.iate, has lost her bearing and is cau ;ing great distress upon the ship because of her falling so hard for Robert Cleaveland that the boat is rocking and casting vast billows up to the shores."

December: "Great shower of "wee- ■ " and a Hood of ice cream, tokens

of the yu'.etide affections of Robert have decended upon the ship."

January: Waters' rough, high seas, ship in peril—crew undergoing the serious operation of mid-term ex- ] ams."

February: "Sea calm again. Crew, recovered. Pear once more of aris- ing sea on account of an accident: which happened on board ship. Ruth Cotton, second mate, disturbs the flying fishes and the monsters of the sea by her vocal palyphory so that they rise up in angry rebellion. Sea safely calmed again. The stewardess, Grace Hale, charmed it into peaceful (;uiotude with harmonious melodies of the piano the rebellious monsters."

March: "Joy on board. Sallie Brown, the wild and reckless skipper, lias been converted by the devout chaplain, Tommie Martin, whose mot- to is, 'Charity, charity, dear mates.' "

April: "In the spring a young maid's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love. Lillian Clark has a lover in every port."

May: "Ship and entire crew safely arrived in port. Crew disbanded for -ummer vacation on dry land—at last. Plans made for extensive sopho- more voyage. Capacity for larger ?rew provided."

Sophomore Voyage September: "Crew increased. The

•pprentice, Nina Mae Knott, is in- stalled as ship's cook and member;

Sarah Watkins, as deck scrubber— her brawny arms make this job a light one; Emmie Batson is given the position of purser, because of her economical habits."

Log summary of sophomore voyage reads thus: "Initiation over. Mid- term exams passed or flunked, as the case may be—at least over. Finals nassed; voyage on the whole unevent- ful."

Junior Voyage September: "Two new sailors of

the Special kind join the crew, Mil- dred Pinkerton and Margaret Can- trell."

October: "Margaret Cantrell proves to be a song bird. Disturbes the waters for the second time in the history of this good crew."

November: "The other new sailor, Mildred Pinkerton, seems quiet and unobtrusive."

December: "Christmas passed near the north pole among iceburgs and albatrosses."

January: "Sallie Brown, skipper, falls in love with a professor of biolo- gy. Spring records do not disclose any other important events."

Senior Voyage September: "The crew welcomes

a new sailor, Rebecca Pressley.

Welcome, alumnae! We are glad, as we always are, to have you with us again. We think of you as big sisters who are interested in us, and come hack as often as possible to see how things are going; with us. And we are interested in you, too. Every- thing you do worthy of a LaGrange College student makes us proud to say, "She's an alumnae of LaGrange" —and what woman has ever gone from the doors of LaGrange College without that spirit of doing big, wor- thy things?

And then, we are doubly glad to welcome you at a special time like this—commencement. We are glad to present to you our senior class—a class of which any college might well be proud. They will soon sail under the same name that you do—"La- Grange College Alumnae,"' and next to being a LaGrange College student, we'd like to be an L. C. Alumna.

So remember, Alumnae, you've come home again. The keys to the whole college and most of all, to our hearts, are yours. Take them and u e them, and remember a welcome always awaits you at "LaGrange— the college of ail, the best."

THE GIFTORIAN SPEAKS

Being interested in the welfare o' the Seniors as they go forth to con quer the world, I would like to forti fy them with gifts which will be use- ful to them in meeting the demand? of the great world awaiting them. Their strongest weapon in the fray of everyday life will be common sense. I therefore, deliver to each member of the class a small package of com- mon sense, an article badly needed by most people today.

To Miss B. A. Teasley, a person of a rather sad, morose, and taciturn disposition, I give a box of giggles.

On Miss Grace Hale I bestow a book—"Obey all Rules," by W. E. Thompson.

I present Miss Mildred Pinketon with—a package of dates.

I take great pleasure in resigning into the keeping of Miss Tommie Martin the very valuable book—"A Few Points About Debating," by U. Tellum.

I contribute to Miss Lillian Clark —"Instructions How to Play Tennis" by I. Swattum.

To Misr, Mary Lane I give a pair of Shces—to decorate her pedal ex- tremeties. 1 feel that these will be •;reatly appreciated, for, I fear that Miss Lane has worn out several pairs walking after material for "The Scroll."

To Miss Ruth Cotton i tender, with

my best regards—a Player Piano. On Miss Sarah Brown I shower the

blessings of—a Happy Disposition. I almost shudder in presenting Miss

Sarah Watkins with—"How to be Happy Tho' Married," by Elinor Glynn.

I consign to the keeping of Miss Emmie Batson—a Chatterbox.

As Miss Nina Mae Knott has so many things she may not, I shall present her with a list of—Don'ts.

Miss Rebecca Presley being such a notorious flirt, I confer on her the time-honored song—"So What Do You Want to Make Those Eyes At Me For."

To Miss Margaret Cantrell I assign —A Lonely Wooded Spot—in order that she may sing, "Alone."

To Miss Merle Clarke I tender similar songs, the song—"Down by the Permanent Waves," by O. U. Ocean.

I hope that these gifts may meet ycur need.;; and that you will use them to good advantage to tease old Father Time into passing gently.

What Did She Mean? Mrs. Key was visiting some friends

SENIOR PROPHECY

Dreams are spices of life—and sometimes through them we get a deep incite into the unknown. Some- times life's book is unfolded to us by our subconscious mind.

How tired I was of practicing for my voice lesson. I went up to my room and fell down across the bed, trying to think of commencement, and all the while those crazy voice exer- cises were ringing in my ears. I gave my thoughts up into the revelry of the dear ol' senior class. I sighed as I thought of how sad it would be to see them "silently fold their tents and step away into the night."

After some time, it seemed that I was riding along on a sheet of music, and all of a sudden it sang out that it was taking me to see my old schoolmates of the class of '24. We sailed along and finally met—yes, Ruth Cotton. She had reached the goal of her dreams. There she was, an organ grinder. And there hopping along by her side was the cutest little monkey that I ever had seen. My attention was attracted to some soul- racking melody, and it did not lake me long to find that Ruth was grind- ing out the "music."

On we went, and stopped in the of a "little church around the

comer." To the strains of Mendel- ' idding march, my old friend.

:e Hale, was slowly edging along ■ altar. 1 knew she was happy.

because of the rapt expression on her face.

Now, what a sight I beheld! A ' field of cotton and two old, ! women. Down the row they

went, their hoes clicking:, clicking at i. I never would have recog-

nized Sarah Brown and Mildred Pink- i, the two "sheikesses" of L. C.

had it not been that they were sing- ine "Ebenezer Si." just as in old

e days. I could scarcely believe my eye-

when I gazed through the kitchen window of an old colonial home. There was Sarah Watkins, baking pies and making biscuit, and all the time, scalding tears were falling— probably tears of regret. Who can tell but that she was thinking of the days of '24, because as she worked she was humming, "Just the Girl That Men Forget."

1 found Tommie Martin in a house for the feeble minded. Something just told me that she argued so much that she forgot that her talent did not lie in her voice. Evidently that was true, for as she strolled about, she sang from the depths of her heart, "Are You Sleeping, Brother James?" If he had been sleeping previously, he certainly would not have been able to at that moment.

Little Emmie Batson was spending; her last days in the poor house. She was entertaining some little chil- dren out in the yard. As we went by, she was singing, "We're March- ing 'Round the Levee." Poor Emmie!

We sr;ed on, and soon came to a beautiful little love-nest. We looked in, and the>-o sat Mary Lane rocking the cradle, and in the sweetest voice T ever heard, was singing "Kenl Babe."

We sailed bv a larn'e river—an-' r'lpre on t*>e bank sat Merle Chvk fishine;—with a nole for a fish; with ner eves for a sucker. For the'-e bv her side was a voun<* man. fHrn"- <-oo (two.) .And as thev fished thev ^wun<r their feet and sang, "Did you Ever Go A-fishin'?"

The next school mate I saw was R. A. Teaslev. She was a famous ' or in a birr city. Who would ■'a^e to are-ne with her and her abili- ty to argue and win her point when '■-.> know that for a lone: time she has '•n<| the 'aw beh'nd her? T he'4evo "hat I should not have known he" '•ad she not been w&'kinsr around her "Teat estate practicine; her RHW

-iid e " in a while re

herself by attempting to sing an ol' L. C. favorite, "Three Wondering Jews."

Next we passed by a country school house. My attention was attracted by hearing sung (loudly), "My Country, Tis of Thee." I looked through the door and there stood Lillian Clark at the front of the room. I was very surprised to find her there —but then—one never can tell. Per- haps she had met a country school- teacher, and they decided to go into partnership. Who knows?

We whizzed by a county fair and entered the tent of the famous "lady snake-eater." There sat Margaret Cantrell, singing notes that would charm any snake—and just when the poor innocent snakes placed their very lives into her hands, she took advantage of them.

Now, who would ever have thought that dainty little Nina May Knott would spend her last days in a wheel- chair! Every day her brother wheel- ed her to a street corner, and there she stayed, holding out her little cup in one hand for the pennies to be dropped in. In the other hand she held a tiny music box which she would wind faithfully after the little melody had "run through."

Finally we came to a pasture in- closed by barbed win;. It did not take me long to see that Rebecca Presley was hung on the wire. The reason was a fierce one. An angry ram came tearing after her. Just as 1 was sure that in another moment she would cease to exist, a young country lad in jeans, stepped out from behind a tree and set her free from the wire—by capturing her in his arms. Full surrender, to be sure— but poor Rebecca stepped from one entanglement right into another. Meanwhile the ferocious ram si;

sponsor, and I'm sure that W2 ■! have found her in some nook

or corner—but the sheet of music rustled in the wind, and the notes be- gan to jump up and down and sing. I jumped off—the bed with a start, to "sec" my roommate singing melo- diously: "Miss Eva said to maks it snappy; Coming to voice if you wanna stay happy!"

BASEBALL FOR SENIORS

Now I'd hate to say which was the greenest, the Seniors or the Fresh- man. When it comes to baseball I actually believe the Seniors are the greenest. Of course I wouldn't have them know I was commenting of their game last Friday, for anything. I wasn't even supposed to see it, but I was sitting in my window from the

iiiing to the end, and it heads the -list for baseball.

about a half of an hour the Seniors searched diligently for their i'laces. Mary Lane was pitcher; Grace Hale was catcher. The re- maining seniors hurried out on the field, while one of the freshmen fum- bled witli the bat. She didn't fumble with it long, however, for when Mary- pitched the ball (and I might add that it was just a plain rubber ball; no other could be found) she knocked it whizzing through the air. "Hey, Sa- ra Watkins, get on the job out there, catch that fly."

"What fly? Why, I don't see any fly and I don't hear one buzzing."

"My goodness, I think we'd better out somebody out that knows the <rame." This remark from a senior who had never played a game of ball in her life. Hadn't even played town ball with the kids in her back yard years ago.

In the meantime the freshmen a home run while the ball was

wildly thrown from one senior to an- other. Another freshman was at the bat, and after twisting the ball round and round, over and under several times, Mary threw the rubber ball and Grace caught it. This result was due partly to her hands and partly to her mouth, which was open as wide as possible.

After about thirty minutes of hard work, the three "outs" were finally called by the umpire. The seniors were glad of an opportunity to rest. Sarah Brown put her two hun-

dred and fifty pounds behind the bat. She missed the first ball, jumped to keep the second one from hitting her, but knocked the third right over Hawkes, over the auditorium and in- to .Mr. Smith's yard.

"Throw down the bat Sally. Now, you can't take it with you, throw it down."

"If you all say that again, I'll scream. 1 can't endure the horrid

Can't you call that thing by some other name?" Poor Ruth, she is so chicken-hearted, so delicate.

They played on through the after- noon. They fussed and they fought They argued, they quarrelled. B. A. had gotten out of the game because she said it was so childish. "Why, you all make me tired talking about white-washing 'em, and the high sign."

The supper bell rang. They were all astonished. "Why, surely that can't be the supper bell. We came out here right after dinner."

But it was the supper bell. The game was ended; and it had been a good game. From my grand-stand seat I had enjoyed every minute of it. Oh! Those Seniors! They're won- derful athletes.

WATKINS-MOOUE

"Mrs. Howell D. Watkins announces the engagement of her daughter, Sa- rah Lenora, to J. Emory Moore, the marriage to be solemnized May 26, at I.aGrange College. No cards."

The above announcement, which appeared in the Atlanta paper April 27, was read with much interest by Miss Watkin's many friends at L. C, where she is one of the most attrac- tive and most popular students.

The wedding will take place on the ever of her graduation, when she will receive her diploma in piano.

(Continued from first page)

October: For the third time in the history of the voyages the depths of the ocean are stirred by musical genius. Rebecca's soul-inspiring voice splits the waves asunder; her awe- inspiring piano solos bring down tor- rents of angry rain which endeavor to soften the tones."

November: "The quite and unob- trusive sailor, Mildred Pinkerton, em- erges from her chrysalis. She 'steps out," with John Dodd, a merchant from a neighboring port."

December: "Nina Mae Knot, kool and mender is about to embark on a more dangerous voyage upon the sea of matrimony."

February: "The little birdies be- gin to stretch their wings and to try to soar above one another. The Se- nior Specials parade their talents be- fore the ship's crew in numerous re- citals. Various members of the crew combined with sailors of other ships, take a trip for the purpose of exhibit- ing wonderful skill in the handling of musical sounds and tones. The grim old rear admiral, Madame Hobbs, con- ducts them.

April: "Congestion of cablegrams bearing messages from love-lorn swains encountered upon the afore- mentioned trip."

May: "Fear and trembling on ac- count of the monster, French, who is finally conquered in a last, long struggle, final exam."

Latter Part of May: "Parade of the Black-gowned dignitaries who re- ceive a roll of parchment equalling the work of four long years. The voyage has for its grand finale or super-climax the last march of two single souls to be made one to the soft strains of the wedding march— and Miss Sarah Watkins is no more." The voyage over the LaGrange Col- lege sea though long and sometimes rough, has led the sailors to the 'Land of Knowledge and Exper- ience.' "

THE ART AND HOME ECONOMICS EXHIBITS

The exhibits of Art and Home Economics will begin on Friday of Commencement, at 3 o'clock prompt-

The art exhibits will be held in | the two studios, where there will be pretty pictures in oil, water color, and pastel; china, hand-painted with gold, and in every color and hue im- aginable. Historic ornaments, casts, charcoal, still-life, and out door sketches will appear in the studios. Work of the free-hand drawing class- es will also be displayed. Miss Rob- erta Black, who is at the head of the

j art department, with Miss B. A. Teasley as assistant, has had a very splendid year's work as will be prov- ed to the eyes of the public when

! they gaze upon this beautiful collec- , tion of artistic work.

On Friday afternoon, the art club will entertain with an informal re- ception just preceding the exhibit.

Those receiving certificates this Commencement are Misses Eunice Akin, Bess Cline and B. A. Teasley.

The domestic science and domestic art exhibits will be held in the de- partment of home economics. There are clothes made for the baby on up to clothes for grown-ups. There will be dresses galore and the prettiest lingerie, and the daintiest hand work.

Bread, pastries, candies and cakes, all decorated for inspection,, but, I guess they will all be under glass, only to look pretty and to be looked at with loving eyes, and eager .hun- ger. But that might not be all. Come to see what they are going to do with it—whether it's only to be seen, to be eaten, or to be sold.

Both departments extend you a cornial invitation to inspect the work that has been so successfully done under the guidance of Miss Black, art instructor, and Miss Whitmar, in- structor in Home Economics.

THE ALUMNAE MEET

At a meeting of the LaGrange Chapter of the Alumnae held in the college parlors Tuesday, May 13, plans were made for the annual meet- ing, May 24.

Much interest will center aound "Alumnae Day" duing the pesent commencement fo on that day will be dedicated the "Rufus Smith Memorial Library" as a loving tribute to him who has meant so much in the lives of those students who had the good fortune to study under his instruc- tions.

Alumnae Day, if it means anything, is a day of good fellowship and, to help promote this fellowship, a lunch- eon will be served on the college

SENIOR-SOPH PARTY

"Bring your bathing suits and caps, Come at four o'clocb to taps;

Meet the Sophs to go and try A dive and swim at Hillside Y."

(Thursday, May 8.) The seniors and senior specials re-

ceived invitations just like the one above and three days early began to pull out their bathing suits to mend the moth holes. One of them (Mary- Lane?) began to practice the art of graceful swimming and by Wednes- day succeeded in wading out in waist- deep water. Some of the rest of her

mates were so jealous of her that they actually cried and tried to do the dead man's float in the "Pool of Tears." There were a few, how- ever, who didn't get to practice at all because Clara Varner told an original ghost story about a robber-man fall- ing in the pool. The seniors, with about fourteen exceptions are very afraid of men and they thought perhaps that little fresliie's ghost robber man might be in the pool when they went down to go in swimming. This kept them from some much-needed prac- tice, too.

Finally Thursday afternoon came and the college turned out full force to see the lucky ones depart for Hillside Y. Everyone enjoyed the short hike except Sally Brown. She would have, but she stumped her toe en the railroad track and lost her sun-bonnet. By being careful she avoided all other misfortunes.

Ruth Cotton thought there were sonic real ducks and Drakes swim-

g around in the pool when she saw the chick little favors floating

that all could "dine." All disappoint- ment vanished, however, and capa- bility of dining was displayed when the entire crowd went to the pavillion opposite the Y. The seniors, espe- cially, enjoyed the great feast that awaited them.

SENIOR BANQUET

Mr. Thompson entertained the Se- niors Saturday night and it was more fun! He invited not only the Se- nior,-, but every single one of us, and you can just bet we were all there. There was a long table all decorated in yellow and white the Senior colors and such importance as they did feel when they took their seats at that highly decorated table, and I thought they'd never find their places. The rest of us were most starved when they finally brought in the first course.

Such a time as they did have with that silver, and 'I did rather sympa- thize, 'cause it was strung out from one end of the table to the other. They did very well though, when they

led Mary Lane, because she's a dining room girl, and knew fliat ev- ery piece of silver was for.

During the dinner Christine Stubbs reore-'ented the Sophomores with a toast. The Juniors sang a very dig- nified song and so did the Freshmen. Nancy Smith represented the Specials with a toast, and Mr. Thompson ter long ponderation and due consid- eration announced the Best All-hound Senior was Lillian Clarke; and of all

the cheering, I'd never heard the like. But it was a wonderful dinner. Ev-

erybody had fun and plenty of it; and for Mr. Thompson, we'd like to say, "He can entertain to perfection."

ALL ABOARD FOR HOME

How many times have we heard it said that it is such a nuisance to ride •on the train from LaGrange to At- lanta and etc? There is not a sin- gle college girl but has remarked on how slow the oF train is, and how she dreads riding on it every time. Why, we all laugh when a real bright young star lets it slip that the train is so "pokey" that you could get off and walk along beside it and that you could run on ahead to Newnan and wait for it there. Or rather, I should say that so many girls think they could beat the train to LaGrange. And the funny part is that they are really and truly disgusted at having to ride "the old thing."

Now! Should I say that the cli- max of my epistle has been reached ? Well—suppose I make this last re- mark a sort of "P. S." Here | It's been a long time since any col- lege girl has ridden the o' A. & W. P. And 1 have not heard a single girl grumble about having to ride it soon, either. In fact, it will look mi good to us on the 27th, and alth heretofore we have fussed about hav-

to keep awake at night beci of the noise it makes—now it is like music to our ears. And the next time we see it I guess it will look like a million dollars.

Forward the Sophomores, Was there a man not bored? Not though the student knew

Some one had "busted." Theirs not to make a break, But a wicked pencil shake, And a "100" try to make. In the midst of exams

Battled the four hundred.

Challenged and threatened. Lectured at with might and main, Bravely they stood tne strain, Into the room of "Mase.' My, what a pain

Y. W. CORNER

"I am the true vine, and my father is the husbandman.

Every branch in me that bareth not fruit he taketh away, and every branch that beareth fruit he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit."

What a joy it is to be a branch on

the vine of Jesus Christ. What priv- ileges it carries and what duties. John says here in this chapter that we are the branches, and like all good branches, must bear fruit. If we do not, the branches are taken away, and are made ready to bear more fruit. He also says if we are good branches and bear friut that we shall ask what we will and it shall be done unto us.

Imagine a great fine oak, towering toward the sky with many good branches, bearing foliage where the birds have found places to build nests and find shelter from the showers. Such a tree is God, where all his children may find shelter and food and clothing. There are many branch- es on this tree that have been clean- sed and purified and are bearing- acorns for the provision of other children of God.

The same life-giving sap (lows through one of the branches as though the whole tree. All are chil- dren of one God. The branches on a tree naturally depend on the big tree for support, for strength and food, from the soil. So it is with the chil- dren of God, it is our privilege and duty to call on God for support, sub- stance and protection.

There's a spot in the land of old Ga. To many a girl dearer than all. It's just a hill-top and some buildings

enclosed by a red brick wall. But 'tis not the hill-top, or any of the

buildings three. 'Tis the God-given spirit of Love,

loyalty, The spirit so dear to you and me. Not only dear to you and me, folks, But dear to the girls who used to be, Dear to those who've gone before,

folks, Dear to the alumna of L. C. How their hearts must swell with

pride, When comes thoughts of by-gone

years, Spent in the hallowed halls of L. C. Mid scenes of laughter and tears. 'Twas here they took up the chal-

lenge, To grow better and broader and deep. To keep high L. C.'s traditions, To never let her ideals sleep. Tho' from their Alma Mater they

went, Their love and loyalty did not end, In the stirring eleven weeks campaign Helping hands they were glad to lend, Shall we of the year that is present Fall below the heights they once

trod ? No—we'll keep ere high the stan-

dard, To a womanhood fashioned of God.

For a moment she gazed fixedly in- to his eye.- as he bent above her.

"You have no heart?" she asked yearningly, with regret in her voice.

"I have no heart."

For a long time neither spoke. He leaned forward and looked at her searchingly.

She stood with a far-away look in yes.

Filially she aroused herself with a to realize (hat that

had planned could never be.

"Well"—there was still that note cf in her voice—"wrap me up a

sound of liver."

'CONTRARY MARY" POOR LITTLK GIRL

On Friday night, May 23, in the college auditorium, Mrs. John Erwin, better known as "Contrary Mary," will be formally introduced to La- Grange people. At first sight, one wonders why she is known as "Con- trary Mary," but the rumor is that her domestic infelicity has given her the name. Sh! Don't repeat! Tnat really could have been left unsaid, I know, but it is rather a temptation to disclose such an interesting bit of gossip about an attractive new- comer into the community. It some- how serves as a strong magnet for the first appearance.

"Contrary Mary" is to be present- ed by Misses Myrtle Cannon, Chris- tine Stubbs, Sarah Swanson, Mary Lane, Delia Carlisle, Agnes Porter and Gertrude Strain.

Don't forget—the time, 8 o'clock. May 23; The person, "Contrary Mary" and the point of interest, the rumor of which I have just told you.

Mary: "When I marry I am going to marry a man who can take a joke."

Jane: "Don't worry, that's the only kind you will ever get."

He: Can't I have just one teeny- woeny little kiss?

She: Oh, Jimmy, ycu have such moderate testes.

Soph: "I got Cuba last night on | my single tube set."

Frosh: "That's nothing. I got Greece on in* vest."

Doc's Mind Wandered. "Just think! When old Doc Snod-

grass was examining my heart ac- tion with a stethoscope yesterday he all of a sudden calls out, 'Hello I Hello! Is this central?' "—Exchange.

The College girl gets too much publicity. Her thoughts, emotions, habits both good and bad, associates, hobbies and interests are counted, classified and recounted by everyone she meets.

Her bobbed hair is the topic of dis- cussion in the classmoom and at church. Like sheep and goats they have been divided—the bobbed-haired ones, and the longhaired ones.

The effects of the style of nair- dressing on temper and temperament have been discussed until it is trite.

Do rouge and dainty slippers im- pair the efficent functioning of the mind ? The average girl is not: self- conscious until she is made so by the constant attention of others.

It is a small wonder that her life is abnormal with all the attention she gets, the exaggerated press reports.

Potentially, she is sound. She has her ideals, which may not bs the same that her grandmother had, but she haT a great deal more vigor in pursuing them.

Her intellectual attainments are greater than those of the demure -olon'al maid who wa3 too modest for ambition and whose education was limited to artistic achievements. She is ranking wtih her brother in steadi- .1' ! of purpose and quality of ser- vice.

The greatly press-agented younger generation should have less attention and less talking about, is the opinion of Dean Bessie Leach Prickly, Dean of women in the University of Missouri. —Volante.
