THE CLASS OF* 1!).
This is the Junior (.'lass Edition of
the Handout. We sincerely hope that
within these pages our readers will
find many interesting things concern-
ing the Junior Class. Fain would we
linger in your company, but we will
only say a few short words -for our-
selves, and bid you adieu as a Junior
Class. By next year we will have ad-
vanced one more step in our school
career.
Hitherto we have kept well the se-
cret of our success. But now, since
we have prospered so well and each
term has increased our prosperity, we
will make it known. Class after class
before us based their glory on various
victories. One after another the
structures which they had reared fell
.ujjfin thejr ligtjds, for the foundations
were of quicksand and the wWls were
built of straw. But we laid our foun-
dations on the rock of fruitful work;
we quarried the stone from mountains
of human knowledge, with blood and
mortar did we cement the walls;
strong and beautiful our structure
rose, and we finished it with brains.
Not a stone has fallen from its place,
not a workman has been injured; we j
have never had to rebuild a single wall |
Today our building stands before you j
perfect, a glorious monument for us, j
a priceless inheritance for our follow- j
ers in college life. Gaze upon it and ]
learn; prize it and preserve it—the
history and the memory of the pres-
ent Junior class—the class of 'lit.

Dear Seniors:
This is doubtless a happy time in
your experience, for after all these
weeks and months and years of study,
perseverance and self-denial you have
at last finish your college work and
your diploma, with all that is means
to you, is in sight. Accept our hearty
conqjptulations.
This commencement season is sig-
nificant of two important facts. First,
that you have completed your college
education. Second,and even more
important than tHe first, you are now
ready to take up larger and more se-
rious duties and responsibilities of
life.
(.'lass of 19IS, wo trust your life
is mostly before you. You are in the
spring-time of life. Looking toward
the future let us wish for you a life
full of success, happiness and useful-
ness to your fellow-man.
Respectfully,
CLASS OF 1919,
.Teola Davis, President.
No! The girls in T. W. C. never
dance! * They don't even know how it
is done, but it doesn't take them long
to learn. If you were not in the li-
j brary Monday night you certain-
ly missed a good time.
! At 7:45 (government time) the
i campus was dotted with aweet girls
in evening dresses with "real live sol-
jdiers" from captains to "buck" pri-
few men of the fourth
"iffass mixed in. Every one was wend-
ing their.way to the library from
whence came Strains of lively music
and happy laughter.
O! what 41*. to have a real dance
and not have to run when you hear
the matron.
Promptly at eight o'clock the
grand march was opened by captain
Goodman favoring .Miss Katheryn
Heyn. The dancers were led thru
many pretty figures and an intermis-
sion was given to till the programs.
,The men were all so ."harming that
they had serious trouble in keeping
adies in h good humor with
each other. But the ladies were love-
ly both in appearance and mflnner,
Our chaperone was a very sweet and
matronly but she was not much of a
chaperone. After we had danced for
a few hours the young ladies and gen-
tlemen became tired and affectionate.
The young ladies reclined "gracefully"
in the laps of the soldiers, or sat in
a dark corner and allowed some man
to hold her hand. 'Twas really shock-
ing, but every one enjoyed it.
The dance ceased pt • 11:30 and we
repaired to the kitchen where super
was served but—

SPRINGTIDE AND STUDIES.
When spring's beckoning call to the
woodland and meadow, it is ever hard
er for the student to pursue with dil-
igence and continunty of purpose the
tiresome road to wisdom. The pleas-
ures co-exist with the freedom of the
field at this time of year, to most
students, far surpass the rewards of
a studious life. Undoubtedly the al-
lurements of nature will sever many
a student's time from the several
text books.,... Everyone will acceed this.
It is true, but ought it be true? Is
nature so erring or college life so
one-sided, that the average scholar
does not have time to enjoy the one
and meet the requirements of the
other?" To this we answer no. The
whole fault lies with the student.
Loyalty to the pursuit of learning
should not be decreased one whit by
the joys of an ideal spring day.
During the fall and winter months
a general habit is formed that carries
the student to the movie, or to influ-
ences of the modern ndVel. To many
these ait* the chief, if not the sole,
source 'of recreation for two-thirds of
the school year. The non-intellectual
influences arising from the excessive
pursuit of these forms, of amusements
are apparent, but may be excusable
for even a greater part of the year.
However, with the coming of spring
every normal person should be able
to find his recreation and amusement,
out-of-doors. Take part in the com-
ing track meet- Fine' exercise! If j
you can't participate in one event take !
something else; there are numerous!
events to enter. By so doing one may j
glory in the sunshine of life among '
the rousing scenes of nature. If this j
is done spring should be a true bless-!
ing to the student, and no one could ;
then say that the natural and college'
life do not harmonize.
As
ife were just living in houses,
never and soul of a tree
I sketched out full length under-
neath it might whisper its mes-
sage to me.
And never a song bird could thrill
me, and never a lrill top could
lure,
I should bang at the gate of my pri-
son where all of my arches were
sure,
And long to be out in the open, arid
yearn for the torrent that roars.
And a sight of a blossoming orchard
somewhere in God's great out-of-
doors.
SENIORS, JUNIORS, SOPHS,
FRESH IKS HEAR YE ALL.
Stop! Look! Lister!! What? Why,
the inter-class trtffck meet. You have-
n't, heard abdi^J. Well, you shall
hear now. The Juniors Sfed Freshies
are going to compete against the
Seniors and Sophs, and the Academy
will be in the clash, too.
It will be some track meet! Thers
will be prizes awarded, and of course
:i lot of the world's records broken.
But as a warning to everyone, the
Juniors and Freshies are going to make
everyone sit up and take notice. You
just watch and see.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE TR>r
*
Oh, say, can you sing from the sta"t
to the end, <
What so proudly you stand- for whcki
orchestras play it;
When the whole congregation, in vo'ule
that blend,
Strike up the grand hymn, and thifn
torture and slay it?
How they bellow and shout; uheji
they're first starting out,
But "the dawn's early light" finds
them floundering about.
'Tis "The Star-Spangled Banner"
they're trying to sing,
But they don't know the words of the
precious old thing.
Junior Expression
Recital
The fourth Juniof~>^cital was held
in ExpA'Ssion Studio March 27th.
Miss Katherine Heyn gave Justin
McCarthy's "If I were King." The
story is especially appropriate at
this time, as the scene was laid in
France when the Burgundian« were
pounding at the gates of Paris. Al-
tho it takes us back to the days of I
Louis XL the martial spirit is pre-'
dominating and made 'Paris seem a
little nearer and dearer to us.
Miss Heyn's interpretation was vi-
tal from start to' finish and her char- ;
aeters were living, breathing person
alities. VHlian, as grand constable,,
was as unflinching and courageous, as j
he was tender and appealing as the ;
lover.
Katherine tie Varculaz stood out as
a sweet loving and loveable girl, for'
all her pride and the king, "Louis Do-
Nothing" proved himself a man at the
psychological moment when he was
heard to say, "1 have tried a man's
heart and found it pure gold; a wo-,
man's love amT^found her all an an-1
gel."
Miss Heyn's voice rang pure, clear |
and strong throughout the program j
and her facial expression was very
remarkable.
Her stage was a bower of lovely
flowers, and the candles twinkled in j
their pink holdings among lilies and
carnations.
Miss Margery Goodman rendered
two beautiful violin numbers that j
were greatly appreciated by those
present.

And sketch out our souls in the sun-

—Poem by Edgar A. Guest..
— o
Hark! The "twilight's last gleam-
ing" has some of them stopped,
But the valiant survivors press for-
ward serenely
To "the ramparts we watched" where
some others are dropped
And the loss of the leaders is mani-
fested keenly.
Then "the rocket's red glare" gives
the bravest a scare, v"
And there is few left to face the
"bombs bursting in air"—
'Tis a thin line of heroes that man-
age to save
The last verse and "the home of the
brave."
Miss Elva Mae Stephens gave her
Junior recital March 23rd. She gave
three one-act plays. Her interpreta-
tion was one of dignity and clear in-
sight into the situation and concise
delineaWon of her characters.
The first play "For Traitor,'
Percival Wilde, is a war play with
scene laid ill Africa during the Boer
war. Her soldiers were strong men
aiid the trial of the Lieutenant was
•carried thru with military exactness.
The second play, "The Noble Lord"
also by Wilde, suggested a very funny
situation, and created quite a great
deal of laughter among the audience.
Especially good was the Lord as he
waited for the girl to scream and then
watched the results on his valet.
iVM's V.' ~
"Hour Glass", by Yeats. In this play
Miss Stephens showed splendid versa-
tility. Her interpretation of the
stricken tacher was very dramatic,
while the fool showed wonderous wis-
dom underneath his foolishness.
Her color scheme was red and blue
with a great armfull of American
Beauty roses as the chief decoration.
Miss Stephens' mother and aunt and
several Fort Worth guests attended
her recital.

MISS PARKER.
Last Monday morning, , March 25,
1918, Miss Emma Carr with six of
her art pupils left the campus about
ten o'clock. We were bound tor an
all-day picnic at Hundley. The Inter-
urban took us safely to the very en-
Liance of the park with the beauti-
ful Lake Erie in full view. The day
was ideal, and such enthusiastic art
students' had no trouble in finding
beauty and pleasure in the just peep-
ing grass, the spreading trees, the
blooming flowers, and the quiet
picturesque lake. Some time was
spent in roaming about admiring
by i nature and God's out-of-doors before
we realized that we were hungry.
We all took out purses and appetites
and bought what articles we wanted
for a regular picnic spread. A cool
shady spot was selected in the cozy
park where we "made away with"
the good things to eat as is character-
istic of such appetites when out for
enjoying everything.
Out-of-door naps were next in
order, so each selecting for herself a
convenient place relaxed her pleasure-
ready assistance of our much loved
teacher, who always makes our work-
ing more ethusiastic and life-like, in
a very few hours' time every girl had
a memento of the day, a miniture
of the place that ha<1 afforded her so
much pleasure and a constant re-
minder of the happy occcasion.
When supper was eaten, and pait
boxes and kodaks were gathered
together, all were ready but not
anxious to return home on the six
o'clock interurban, declaring in uni-
son that it had been a perfect day.

Misses Millsaps and Smith pres-
ented Miss Ella Gaines Parker of Ala-
bama in an orginial arrangement of
"The Primrose Ring" by Ruth Saw-
yer, on the afternoon of March the
ninth in the expression studio. As
this was the first of the series of
Junior recitals, there was an air of
utl'usual expectancy in the audience,
on the saiil afternoon, which was
fully satisfied when the dainty little
reader clad in rose crepe de' chine,
stepped upon the platform.
With unusual delicacy she wove the
charms of the primrose around her
audience who followed her into the
realms of make believe across the
river of dreams with child like antici-
pation.
The dreary atmosphere of the in-
curable ward in the hospital for child-
ren was sofftened and sweetened by
the sympathy of the reader. The love
story of ivfiss Peggy and the house
surgeon grew apace under her
magnetic touch, until the story was
finished when all the little incurables
were carried to a home out in the
country with "heaps of flowers and
love," and Miss Peggy and the house
surgeon to watch over them.
-Miss Marjorie Goodman played two
fairy like numbers on the violin
which with flickering candles,
the banks off palms and masses
of flowers helpfed to carry the listen-
ers farther into the fairy land.
