Li-t us b(> glad that our bodies ciiu
nm about fret-ly (ivcr newly green
fields. Let us be glad tliat our minds,
too, are free to run about and play
with iiiiy sub.ject wc ehoose. We are
not, like our grandmothers, laced up
tight in corsets and convention. We
are youthful hockey players, and
the cool stinging wind is in our faces.
We are standing in the strong chal
lenging wind of education. Jn both
fields let us run forward, laughing,
shouting in excitement, panting with
exertion! Let us always run forward
thus, following whatever finterest
may be before us at the moment, Hs
we have ftdlowed the hockey ball,
and have tried with all our might
to drive it into the goal. Let us not
make of living a stuffy, old-age,
misty-room, occupation, but rather an
exciting, breath-taking chase which
retpiires all our skill and strength.

MISS ATKINSON
Winter and springtime—winter and
fall!
Who is our teacher of all kinds of
bant
.Vobody else but our own dear Miis
“At.”
Thouirh we were softies in days of
old
She can transform us to athletes
bold
She’s magician, is our Miss “AJ;.”
When her praises we are singing
And we doii’t know^ what to do
She can set our colors to flying
With a lip, ray rah and sis, boom
bah
She’i* always cheerful, never gets
glum
That’s why we sing to our own
coach. Miss “At.”
DR. RONDTHALER
Tune: Sentimental Gentleman
lie’s a staunch and stately presi
dent of Salem, Salem,
Princely to the ladies all the time
When he walks around, round upon
the campus, campus,
liells up in the tower start to
chime
Xow, hear that wind a-howling,
Snow is falling fast.
Says our prexy smiling, “Spring is
here at last.”
What a royal chap, with cane and
cap
We love him, love him
lli st of anybody anytime!
ROUND AND ABOUT
WITH THE FRESHMEN
Davidson was well reiwented here
this week-end. Ask Lelia Williams
how it is possible to make so much
time as to have four dates in a day
and a half witli two boys. Another
thing what about the young gentle
man who ate with Eleanor Matheson.
She’s another one of these ‘power-
liouses’ (S. I’. U’s. to the Seniors).
(’•happl Hill had its share of our
fair damsels at the openings. Ques
tion Idali/a and Peggy if it isn’t
great to dance to the tunes of Isham
.Jones in the arms of University
bov.s.
ff anyone finds a mickey mouse
strolling around, direct it to room
205, Alice Clewell Building, since
there is a collection of such animals
there belonging to Miss Mousie
Woodruff.
Mildred Troxler went to Hurling-
ton for the week-end. She must have
had a marvelous time attending
dances, dinner aprties and the Caro-
liua-Deuk game. Then too, all of
her high school class mates were
home from college and a lovely re
union was had bv all.

AUTUMN
Season of mists and mellow
fruitfulness,
Close bosom-friend of the ma
turing sun
Cons)>iring W’ith him how to load
and bless
With fruit the vines that round
the thatch-eavcs run.
To bend with ap])les the mossed
cottage-trces,
And fill all fruit with ripiiess to
the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump
the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set bud
ding more,
And still more, later flowers for
the bees,
Until they tliink warm days
will never cease.
For summer has o’or-brimmed
their clammy cells.
Who hath not seen thee oft amid
thy stovef
Sometimes whoever seeks
abroad may find
Thee sitting careless on a granary
floor,
Thy hair soft-lifted by the win
nowing wind.
Or on a half-reai)ed furrow sound
asleep,
Drowsed with theiume of pop
pies, while thy hook
Spares the next swath and all
its twined flowers;
And sometimes like a gleaner thou
dost keep q
Steady thy laden head across a
brook,
Or by a cider-])ress, with pa
tient look,
Thou watchest the last ooz-
ings hours by hours.
Where are the songs of Spring!
A}', whore are they!
Think not of them, thou hast
thy music too,—
While barred clouds bloom the
soft-dying day.
And touch the stubble-plains
wit It rosy hue,
Then in a wailful choir the small
gnats mourn
Among the river sallows, borne
aloft
Or sinking as the light wind
lives or dies;
.And full-grown lambs loud bleat
from hilly bourn;
Hedge-crickets sing; and now
with treble soft
The red-breast whistles from a
garden-croft.
And gathering swallows twit
ter in the skies.
—John Keats.
AUTUMN
The music of the autumn winds
sings low.
Down by the ruins of the painted
hills.
Where death lies flaming with a
marvelous glow
U])on the ash of rose and daffo
dils.
liut T can find no melancholy
herq
To see the naked rocks and thin
ning trees;
Earth strips to grapple with the
wcuter year
I see her gnarled hills plan for
victories!
I love the earth who goes to
battle now.
To struggle with Hie wintry whip
ping storm.
And bring the glorious spring (Uit
from the night
I see earth’s muscles bared, her
battle brow.
And am not sad, but feel her mar
velous charm
As splendidly she plunges in the
fight.
—Edwin ('urran.
THE SHEAVES
Where long the shadows of the
wind had rolled.
Green wheat was yielding to the
change assigned;
-\nd as by some vast magic un
divided
The world was turning slowly
into gold.
Like nothing that was ever
bought or sold
It w^aited there, the.body and the
mind;
And with a mighty meaning of
a kind
That tells the more the more it is
not told.
So in a land where all days are
not fair,
Fair days went on till on another
day
A thousand golden sheaves were
lying, there.
Shining and still, but not for long
to stay
As if a thousand girls with golden
hair
Might rise from where they slept
and go away.
—Edwin Arlington Robinson.

staunch Dukers w'lio w'ent down to
Durham for Saturday and Sunday,
they went to the game and I hear

Three rousing cheers, Lou Freeman

I hear she had much fun and so did
Marianna Redding, who went home

While J was stretching my neck

nette Sawyer. It seemed as if they

lives!
As usual, Marianna Hooks, Etta
Bert, and Lucy James took off for
Carolina. Much fun as ever girlies?
ilary Lib Roavos wont down to the

Mary Nelson Anderson spent Sat

SENIOR RUN ABOUTS
The Seniors were well represented
at the Hill by Cokey Preston, who
had tho “most grandest” time, Mar
garet Ward, who had “swell fun,”
and Bobby Way, who got knocked
up c)uite a bit but enjoyed her week
end all the same!
Martha Neal’s mother was here

Neely, and Julie Lee Little went

week-end.
Virginia Bailey visited Dot Moore

DR. WILLOUGHBY mSQED
Students and faculty join in send
ing love to Dr. Willoughby. Since
she has been in Charlottesville due to
the serious illness of her mother. She
herself mot with an unfortunate ac
cident. Lying in the hospital in a
plaster cast, she still maintains her
quizzical .sense of humor, and writes
that she is doing as well as can be
expocted despite the fact that she
looks and feels a great deal like a
mummy. In view of her absence,
we might answer that we are a'se
doing as much as we can without her,
although we feel ourselves to bo not
mummies buf dummies. Dr. Wil
loughby’s address is c-o Mrs. Helen
G. Eastman, Norwood venue, Char-
Uittesville, Virginia.
SOPHOMORE-FRESHMAN GAME
Monday, November 12, marked the
third game of the hockoy series
when the Freshmen beat the Soph
omores 2—0. Tick Fraley’s “three
sneers for the Sophomores” swelled
to tears when Willena Couch made
two goals for the Freshmen in the
first half; but it changed to cheers
when the Sophomores showed more
figliting spirit in the second half.
TIED!
The fourth Hockey game played
on Tuesday, November 13, was a
scoreless tie between the .Juniors and
Seniors. The Juniors kept the ball
near their goal during the greater
part of the game, but what with
Margaret Wall’s hiding the ball in
iior shin guards, and Jane W'illiams’
blocking the field, they wore unable
to make a goal.
PLAYERS DISPLAY
SKILL, ENTHUSIASM
AND INDIVIDUALITY
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE)
Brown, ilcNew, I.owry and Hen
drix Two determined heads met
when Bullock and L. Torrence made
a contact on-tho field one day.
•\nd you couldn’t do without your
ball-chasers. Watkins, Hutchison,
and Iluggin.". Forida keeps the
junior’s faces from becoming Grave
for she does not permit a ball t(t
bo buried in her well-guarded goal.
The juniors are a stubborn set.
Seniors, seniors, rah! rah! rah! For
tl'.e team of a graduating class you
have shown your true metal. Wall
displayed real guarding technique.
No person who had trained for
years could have surpassed the work
done by the super-goal guard at Sa
lem. Vaughn’s calmnoss permits
her to hit ferociously every ba'l that
comes her way. Carroll’s strength
and persistence win for her many a
hard-fought argument. Hine’s
queenly majesty causes players to
bow down to her as they pass.
Tuttle is a life-saver with Ward,
Higgins, Jerome, Gray, McLean and
Noal as life lines. No one would
think a queen could make .'j-s promi
nent a show on the athletic field
as does Preston. And who would
think that .lane Williams would de
stroy all a ball’s dignity by sitting
on it? But with all their athletic
ability, minus their faithful cheer
leader, T’enn, whore would the Sen
iors be!
Freshmen, sophomores, juniors,
seniors—hard fought battles, cour
ageously won! More power to yon!
FRESHMEN GAIN PLACE
IN FINAL GAMES
, One of the most exciting hockey
games of the season was between tho
Seniors and Freshmen, Monday, IDth.
It was this game which was to de
termine which class would play the
Juniors for the Championship in tho
final game.
Players on both teams must have
realized tho importance of this game,
for every one of the twenty-two
])layers played hard.
Dusk settled and still the players
fought on. Then suddenly from
about forty yards a freshman,
WilLna Couch, carried the ball right
into the goal before anything could
be done about it.
Thus at the end of the game the
freshmen had won, the score being
1-0. So! To the Freshmen went the
opportunit}'- to play the Juniors for
the Chanijjionship!
