CONFERENCE OF TEACHERS
AND TRUSTEES.
On Dec. 29 an informal confer-
ence was held between the teachers
of the School of Expression and a
number of the trustees, at which it
was tacitly agreed to endeavor in
every way to carry out Dr. Curry's
wishes in regard to the future of
"the school and to fulfill in every re- air> ant* sea'

spect possible the great trust im
posed in them. At the request of
the. teachers and with the approval
of the trustees there present it was
decided that Mrs. Curry should con-
tinue in active charge of* the school
until such time as permanent reor
ganization lines indicateil by Dr.
Curry and appi-oved by Mrs. Curry
can be effected.

AN EVENING OF APPRECIA-

On Thursday, Jan. 5, the students
and teachers of the School of Ex-
pression gave "An Evening of Ap-
preciations'" at the school in honor
of their beloved leader-. Mrs. Curry
opened the program by reading One
Hundred and Seventh Psalm, which
was followed by l-eadings, musical
numbers and short addresses as giv-
en below. -
Mr. Edward Abner Thompson also
read Browning's "Abt Voglei'," and
Mrs. Greta Antis played Chopin's
"Prelude."
An Appreciation. """""
(Beulah McCaughey)
We have met this evening to com-
memorate the memory of one whom
all of us hold most dear.
, Our thoughts are full of praise
for Dr. Curry's life and work, and
our hearts are overflowing with love
for his simple and beautiful charac-
ter. j
f\ -H°w fitting and proper is it that
^>the. first meeting dedicated to his
» beloved memory, should be held
within these walls, where he0 has
taught for so many years, and has
patiently and earnestly endeavored
to. make easy for us what he has
himself so labored and struggled to
attain. It is for us to dedicate our
lives to the work he has begun and
so nobly carried on. We know how
near and dear to his heart was his
work, and that he will be with us,
in spirit, always.
It has been said, "a life is meas-
ured by its service." Then his life
is immeasurable, because it was a
life' consecrated to the service of
humanity. Let us say of him as has
been said of another»
"He is gone, but we believe that he
wears a truer crown
Than any wreath that man can
weave him."
'iik. J
Lines From "Adonais."
(Shelley)
(Read by Stewart Masten)
Peace, Peace! he is not dead, he
doth not sleep!
He hath awakened from the dream
of life— | jug?
.... ■"inwmriT'u
He is made one with Nature. There
is heard
His voice in all her music, from the
moan
Of thunder, to the song of the
night's sweet bird.
He is a,, presence to be felt and
known
In darkness and in light, from herB
and stone;
Spreading itself where ere that Pow-
may move
Which has withdrawn his being to
its own,
Which, wields the world with never-
wearied love,
Sustains it from beneath and kin-
dles it above.
The splendors of the firmament of
time
May be eclipsed, but are extin-
guished not;
Like stars to their appointed height
they climb,
And death is a low mist which caft
not blot
The brightness it may veil. When
lofty thought
Lifts a young heart above its mortal
lair,
And love and life contend in it, for
what *
Shall be its earthly doom, the dead
live there,
And move like winds of light on
dark and stormy aiK^>
urns bright or dim; as
mirrors of
The first for which all thirst now
beams on me, a
Consuming the last clouds of cold
mortality.
The breath wlftfse might I have in-
voked in song
Descends on me; my spirit's bark is
driven
Far from the shore, far from the
trembling throng
Whose sails wefe never to the tem-
pest given.
The massy earth and sphered skies
are riven!
I am borne darkly, fearfully ^far!
Whilst, burning through the inmost
veil of HeaVen,
The soul of Adonais, like a star,
Beacons from the abode where the
Eternal are. '
The Smile.
(Catherine Padwick.)
Dr. Curry lias dedicated his book
"The Smile" "To those who by loyal
thought, word or deed have founded
the School of Expression;" also—
and this is my reason for bringing
this to your attention this evening—
"To those who by look, smile, or in
any way will aid in giving to the
school a permanent home." May it
not be given to each one of us to
contribute our share toward the ac-
complishment of the object so dear
to the heart of our great teacher?
**
"On lifted a stone from my rocky
road,
One carried a while my heavy load;
One lifted his candle when all was
dark, *»
One heard the song of a morning
lark.
A look, and I knew a brother was
near,
Only a smile but it banished my
fear.
Oh, little you thought of the help
you gave—
But the little you did was mighty
to save!''

The Idealist.
(Anne Caroline Bryant.)
Across the page of tour lives there
falls the shadow of one outstand-
ing figure which towers above all
others—that of a man who not only
saw life as it is, but as it should be.
Dr. Curry was an idealist, but he
was also, throughout his long life,
a student and a worker. He lived
to see many of his dreams accom-
plished and his ideals become reali-
ties.
Dr. Curry was a man of great
spiritual insipht and power. , He was
a lover of nature and inspired that
love in others. With him love of
Nature was the basis of Art. He
loved beauty and sunlight, clear
skies, blooming flowers and happy
faces. His spirit was courageous
and helpful and the influence of his
teachings was all for good.
Dr. Curry was a great idealist in
a materialistic age, and in world of
strife and self-seeking • a genuine
lover of humanity.

hour late, but nevertheless -it was
heartily enjoyed. A lovely luncheon
was served after the performance.

from the Panther City Club dis-

the representatives from, the Dormi-

It is the decree of the magic mir-

Win T. W. C.'ers. We are back of
you and will help you put another
victory through.
This was the first of a series of
debates among the classes, and serv-
ed as excellent practice toward our
final aim, which is to wi*, w-i-n,

was given at Sycamore Park with no
visitors, but this yeaV it was decided
to have it at the studio, each girl
asking a few friends and the mem-
bers of the expression department to
form the aud ience.
Browning's Dramatic Monologues
were chosen as selections, and given
in a most sympathetic manner. We
liked the simplicity and naturalness
of the protrayals, particularly those
given to Youth and Art, A Woman's
Last Word, Confession and One Way
Love. The readers gave all of
their numbers with a sureness and
trueness to character which spoke
•veil for their complete understand-
ing and sympathetic appreciation of
the intricate details of the Poet's
Works.
A thing which we enjoyed quite
as much as the poems was the little
talks given before each of them by
Miss Millsapp, head of the ex-
pression department. She told us
flust enough to paint an imaginative
background, and at the same time
said not too much which spoils the
anticipation. An interesting thinjr
to notice was the perfect harmony
with which the girls blended their
poems with Miss Millsapp's talks, so
many-colored ; perfectly that we could scarcely real-
ize that their had been a pause be-
tween. Such is Art.

The Thespian Dramatic Club has
presented several plays during the
year. The first one, "Six Who Pass
While the Lintals Boil," by Stuart
Walker, was given at the Chamber
Ye who are kicking against Fate
Tell me how it is that on this hill-
side
Running dowli to the river
Which fronts the sun and the wind
This plant draws from the air and
soil
Poison and becomes poison ivy?
And this plant draws from the same
air and soil
Sweet elixirs and colors and be-
„ conies arbutus ?
And both flourish.
You may blame Spoon Rivsr for
what it i3
But whom do you blame for the well
in you
That feeds itself and makes of you
dock weed

And which can never use any soil

So as to make you Jessamine or

Paintjgd Lips.
Oh, I'm so tirqd of painted lips'
I see them ever
On simple maid or hardenei
Red lacquer with a greasy glow.
( '<■■« >■'
Why don't they break tradition, now
And then, and try some new de-
signs—
One blue lip, one of gold, and done
On very simple Empire lines?
It must seem odd, whene'er one dines,
To have the soup one's lips erase,
And quite a bore, when dinner's
o'er,
To put one's lips right back in
place.
Were I a maid, I'd ne'er encase
My lips with sticky crimson dough.
For, worst of all, should suitors call,
It'd hate to have my kisses show.

WORK.
The Expression Department has
been studving many plays this year.
Aside from the ones " given, we
have the following: "Merchant of
Venice;" "Hunger,-' by Eugene Pit-
tat; "Spreading of the News," by
Lady Gregory; "Mrs Pat and the
Law" and "Riders to the Sea," by
Synge, which Dr. Axson called a
little masterpiece. The last three
are Irish, and we are working on
them in the Irish melody, rhythm
and dialect for a program to be
given on St. Patrick's Day. Prac-
tically all of the Senioi-s and Jun-
iors have chosen their recitals and
are working busily to complete
them.
Juniors—Katherine Erwin, "Cud-
dy's, Baby;" Lois Martin,. "An Aft-
ernoon with Riley;" Jo Reigle,
"King of the Golden River;" Mary
Terry, "The Tavern Opera of Han-
sel and Gretel."
Seniors—Eunice Cox, "The Blue-
bird;" Lucille Blume, "The Last
Pleaid;'" Lloyd Porter, "The Slave
With Two Faces." The others have
not chosen.

An ancient exile at the close of day,
Paused on his country's farthest

Those valleys sinking in the dis-

Where all the joys and hopes of

So now across the years our

To those whose hearts were ever
brave and true,
Who gave the hope and faith from
which we drew
The strength to climb thus far upon

As he amid the rocks and twilight

Saw rocks and steeps transform to

He wandered not alone, so may we

See this, our tentless crag where

A Bethel rise, and we here wake

That down and upward angels

I think there is no person who
does not dream, today, of doing big-
ger things tomorrow. How wonder-
ful it must be to know, as Dr. Cur-
hy surely knew, how many dreams
he had helped to bring true. Pos-
sibly one of the chief causes of this
power was the indescribable inspi-
ration he gave each person whom he
met. He could not force his stu-
dents to do big things—but he
could inspire each to strive to bring
out the very best that was in him—
hence we see the results of his ef- i
forts in most every state of the I i
United States. !

I see before me through the magic
mirror of the future, two ambassa-
dors. These two persons came into
"political" notice at the time the im-
migration question was confronting
the American Nation. By their logi-
cal thinking, sound judgment, and
forceful oratory, this question was
brought to an adequate solution.
The arguments "pro" and "con" of j
this question held the house spell-
bound. Those debating the negative
side put forth strenuous effort, but
were unable to convince any mem-
bers of their viewpoint.
The decision was by a large ma-
jority in favor of the affirmative,
which was: "Resolved, that Immi-
gration to the U. S. Should be Pro-
hibited for Two Years.'' The de-
bators for that side were Marian
