The Reason OUR long years ago, before the Seniors were even Rats, and before the great Trustees had flung open the doors of Westhampton College , while everybody was wondering what might be the fate of a college for women on our big hill, then did Fortune take up the matter in her o~n hands and cogitate deeply. And after much cogitation and pondering, she flew to the President of the mighty board and whispered something in his ear . And what did she whisper?

Well , we sh all see.

At last when the doors of the college were swung open and the Seniors, as Rats, rattled up the hill in a big black bus, and got out in the rain, they had a feeling that, though the clouds were gray, and the mud was slimy, that still everything would come out all right. And at last when their numbers were called to file through the dismal hall into the office of the Dean, they saw the reason for that feeling in their bones.

And that reason , though apparently very, very small, has been the biggest Reason in all the world why Westhampton has grown to be a standard A-1 college, why the Rats have become Seniors, and why these Seniors love so well everything about the great hill, the shining lake and the beautiful dark pines. Is it a wonder that the Seniors love the Reason, too, and is it a wonder that they wanted to dedicate their first Westhampton Annual to her?

But no, the wise girls from the old stone college had snatched away that dedication and put in in their own Spider in 1916, so all that is left for us is to tell you about it all-and we wonder if you can guess the Reason?

If you have visited -vv¡¡esthampton College at any hour of the day or night, and in a n y part of the buildings or ca mpus , yo u have seen Elizabeth Brockenbrough.

She frequents the day room (being President. of the Suicide Club), hangs around the dormitory, sits in the Senior parlor, runs all over the ath letic field; in fact, does everything but study and wash dishes.

She has never been seen with a book in her hand; she g ig gles when you weep over an exam, yet at the end of the term carries about several A's with an air.

There is something uncanny about her, and a generous reward is offered to anyone who can make her divulge her great discovery, "How to work without working ."

Th ere was one time when Li .zzie didn't giggle.

That was when she collected that $1,800 for the Friendship Fund.

'' 'Tfs-'tis-wen, 'tis Martha!"

To finish out the quotation as at first intended would not be quite fair, but " 'tis" answers the p urpose quite well.

At least it will identify her.

Martha has been terr ibl y humiliated beca u se her picture doesn't flatter her.

In fact, she does look rather fierce, but if yo u have ever seen her bent over Political Science parallel, at work on her inevitable m il linery, or cranking her Ford, you have noticed the same expression.

She goes at everything with a vim, a n d r i ght n ow has her hear t set on ambulance driving "over there."

But if bombs affect her on e -half as seriously as exams and tests, we fear for her success as chauffeuse.

"Oh, honey, I flu n k ed!" is her usual cry, and ye t she never does . If yo u want t-o know the exact and honest opin ion of another on any subject at any time, go to Martha . She can merge into dir'e seriousness at a n y hour of the day or night, and vies with George Washington in his prominent cherry t r ee trait.

And as for b ei n g conscientious-! ! ! Add to this her sense of humor, and yo u have M a rtha, one who carries a happiness about with her that's contagious.

KATIE

MAY DAVIS

Richmond , Va. When Katie May entered Westhampton in the fall of 191 4, her eyes had not the dreamy, far-away look that this year sees in them.

What hath wrought this wondrous change ? A bowl of soup -in the Univers i ty Commons!

And since that fateful day she has taken to cough syrup and seven it contains 99 ½ per cent ch loro form; the second, because it is 101 per cent classes; the first, because hard work.

And so sh e drowns h er sorrow.

She is enamored of Drama, both mediaeval and modern, and has rece n tly made her theatrical debut in the stupendous production of "The Knight of the Burning Pestle."

If she is not te mpt ed to use her volum inous knowledge of German in secret service work, she expects . to teach next year . In either case, we advise her to go where there will be no hill to climb.

Who made those eyes to shine?

Who made that smile o' mine?

God done it, God done it, God done it. " T ake for instance two twins born in the same family" and what do we find?

First, that the twin is a membet of a gregarious family of no little size; second, that the twin is a physical marvel and measures her foot in terms of a centipede.

She is rather an abnormal little one, always being chock full of grit and masticating eve n German bon es.

On e twin runs annually, but this twin runs as no one else-witness her "W," which does not stand fo r walking, but w inner of t h e track meet.

We think Mary Gr esh am should have also won an R . C. No. , not for Richmond Co ll ege, but for refreshm e nt committee.

Then you wond er if this t'outhern creature expresses herself in tr ul y antebellum accents, as her ap pearance would s u ggest.

You know her reputation as a Physics shark; you have h eard that sh e wears "punctual" sho e s, and a green shade and carries a marvelous pocketboo k; but the re.st is left to your imagination.

Hauntingly, the memory of the "Good Housekeeper," the smell of old-fashioned boxwood, the whistle of "the accommodation," the shy spar kle of assenting blue eyes, drift through your mind. r.rh e n , I say, when standing on th e sidelines of the hc-ckey field, you hear a steady "rah, rah," and, turning to pat the faithful on the back, can you believe you r ears when this maid of such memor ies drawls forth: ' ¡Why does the last haalf paars s0 faast ?"

When you go out to patiently await t h at p ro mi scuous eleve n , there is May on the field with all the hockey sticks and the ball.

When the morning your "snoozes" are broken by the slamming-to of wi n dows at 6 :15y.ou are snooz ing "O n -ward, Christian So,.ol-diers, March-ing a:s-to wa - ar."

When May plays, you have to sing even if you do almost miss yo u r breakfast.

"He-he, he-:he, he-h e . Did you hear abou t John?

My mother can make about the best cake in the world.

She has a fondn e ss for pickl e d ears , pipes and cat ' s tails, and one strong aversiondancing class.

On the car one Autumn morning , On h er way to e nter College, Rode the lady of our poem; Alone , quite calm among the flighty , The only calm one of the Fr es hm en. Ev er since that Autumn morning, On the cars or on the Campus, In the Lab or in the Classroom, She has kept her equilibrium.

Exams and t ests have faile d to move her; Bugs of all kinds, big and little; Frogs and earthworms, even kittens, Cut wide open, jumping, bloody, All of these has Lula handled, Without a qualm except of pity.

For her classmates-soothing syrup; for her teachers-satisfaction.

This is Lula; we all love her . This is Lula, our "Madonna."

Just hear that and you may be sure of the littl e body that is fort h c oming ) with its physiogn _omy composed of grey ey es 1 catfish mouth and, almost invisible nos e, plus freckles.

But above all things, be careful not to call her "little" within h er hearing, b eca us e that doesn 't app eal to h er sens e of humor.

In fact, her s ense of humor is rather fe d b y pointl ess jok es and witless express ions , as for ins lance: "That's a militar y secret."

She is perverse as well as divers e, and see ms to pride h erself on both.

Also, , she thin ks herself excee dingly busin ess- like , alth ough n ever known to me e t an engagement on time.

Still we must admit that there is not a case on record of Dotti e' s saying that she didn't have time to do something¡ for somebody.

Sh e is just about the b est p er son on earth to go t o in trouble, and the Rats will all vo u ch for the convenience of her should er when she has assisted them in weeping.

Th e n, too, she is something of a genius, and genius seems to burn best for her in the wee small hours of the night -a t least she has r esorted to them, and po etry, too . Yes , she is a po et -have you ever heard h er pla y?

Richmond, V a.

Yes, she's one of about sixteen J ohnsons here, but she's the only one who won her "W." She won it by bravery, too, sitting in that go 'al with balls on the right of her, balls on the left of her, balls in front of her smashing her shins, but she just giggled, and she's giggling still.

They call her "Giggling Gerty."

You can see she is a very satisfactory person to have around when you are telling a joke and everyone else refuses to laugh.

She's also chief of the Suicide Club.

The "bran bread" she brings from home and the hot chocolate she makes (which brings tears to your eyes because of its hotness) would make any council member forsake her exalted seat for one whiff.

The only thing is, she is sometimes imposed upon by her kind frie n ds who thinks she likes to wash dishes.

Sometimes she gets¡ mad-no, not mad exactly, but worried, and though she doesn't say anything, you wonder, from. her direful looks, what she is thinking.

But nothing matters much since "Giggling Gerty" wears a "W" on her s~irty.

LAURA ESTELLE KEMPER

Richmond,Va. ":r--.o$e, nosr, jolly pug nose, and who gave me this jolly pug nose," sang Estelle in that memorable play.

A genius with a pug nos e is rather original, we admit, but Estelle is always that.

Her originanty is evidenced in her fondness for checkered coats and other people's tablets.

This checkered coat of Estelle's has been with us lo! these four years, though she denies it.

Also for four years Estelle has never failed to burst unceremoniously into every Student Council meeting and- to withdraw with a giggle and "excuse me, but isn't my checkered coat in there?"

Be careful of yo ur t,¡ ,o-minute talks with Estelle in the halls, for you may find yourself the inviting subject of a sketch in ''The Messenger.''

She cannot speak long in English, but finds h erself conversing e loqu e ntly in French or Spanish (wit h nobody listening!)

We can't decide whether it's good or hard luck to be so brilliant; but if it's hard luck we're willing to have it wished on us.

And who wouldn't like to have her pull with the Faculty She has a pull with us, too!

MARY GRA HA M LETT

Newport News, Va. There are many Marys in this world, but this is the Mariest Mary we know.

We nominate this Mary for the Hall of Fame as the most regular maiden-Of-all-work ever in ex istence.

"Let Mary do it" is the slogan of Devil's Den, especially of her roommate . She acts as "Big Ben" for the timeless imps brigade (look up in Webster's for definition).

She plagues you into turning "Tower" materia l in on time, she scares th e little Rats who have been missing in chapel, she discovers missing library books, and yet she has loads of time to express her opinion.

Indeed, that philosopher must have b een thinking of Mary Lett when he said: "She was wont to speak plain and to the purpose."

She ha.s li ttle pati ence wit h us mere mortals, but that's because she's so Johnni e-o n -the-spot herself.

In fact, she always gets there on e minute too soon.

Mary is the sort of girl tha t, on a moonlight night on the lake, wonders what law of Physics controls the movements of the moon-s tre aked waves as they part from the oar.

She is atso the sort of girl who makes us ask what Psychological law controls us in connecting Mary Lett in our thoughts with a mountain.

Maybe it's the steadfast loyalty of them both.

(Lizzie doesn't like this mentioned, so please keep it a secret.) ~i'his girl's imag ination has been a source of much excitemnt, for her ability to create "atmosphere" has caused many to tremble in th e wee small hours of the night over a Ou ija experience or ".the man in the library."

We hope that Fate will so will it that the dormant genius in this girl will some day find means of ex pression.

She's one of those mol"tals who barks often and seldom bites .

Her greatest disappointment in life has been her failure to take Biology 2, and on all' occasions she may b e se e n at th e door of the Biology Lab. with tears in her eyes.

MAR Y R ENO PORT ER

Richmond, V a.

We are now discussing Mary Porter's favorite -subject-herself.

Th is is a rather interesting subject, so we all th ink.

Miss Porter's two most disturbing characteristics, as discovered by occupants of Room 229 and Mrs. Black, respectively, are her tendency to ,sing and play the "Uke" at 12 a.m. before that fire, and her untiring beat of the poker upon the hearth.

"Miss Porty" is violently attracted to "Va n ity Fair," "affects" wee ve lvet hats, also dresses with suggestions of beads.

She finds 1918 class meetings almost beyond even her calm personality.

Despite the hammer and ou r nerves, class meetings under her are great fun.

"Miss Porty" was fair Rosalind in the play, and succeeded in being fair even with her Roman nose.

In fact, without much evident effort on her p a rt, Miss Porty seems to succeed in anything which chances to r eceive her notice, be it evening g owns, witty sayings, bonfires, hearth-hat brooms, li brary or Senior happenings.

She says that she intends to be an Interior Decorator, and Dr. Bryan says, "For Whom?"

Her enthusiasm is so unstoppable that o n ce when this bas k et ball captain heard that Westhampton's rep was at stake, she strapped up a tw is ted ankle and jumped right into the game.

There is one other thing K i tten denies which seems an indisputable factthat her name should be Kitten.

At times this catlet wears upon her face the look of one who carries the world on her shoulders (while the question is, "vVhat shall the Tidewater Club representation he?"), but at othe 'r times she's all right.

She is the uni"que person who has every member of all hockey teams except her own scared to death and always running.

Kitten has be .en known to help many a fellow through a rough spot, and without the publ ic knowing anything about it.

She's a booster every time, which is saying much.

MRS. "MAC"

Once on a time ( a3 all truly fairy stories begin, my dears), there were eight-and-thirty children who joined hands and set out up a steep, steep hill. Although the way was rough, bright flowers bloomed in the crannies bes:de it, and the children found it cheery enough.

But soon, my dean, it grew steeper, and some of the children lagged behind, and some fell down and bumped their no~e3, and some wandered away and got lo3t ! And very soon, there was as sorry and straggling a line of eight-and-thirty tired little children as one would wish to see, with tear begrimed faces, and dirty, torn pinafores.

And suddenly the very littlest one sat right down in the middle of the road and wailed. '"l- .want- a- Mamma ! " And quick as flash, my dears, a fairy appeared!

A really truly fairy godmother, with crinkling hair, and twinkly brown eyes, and a smile made for the comforting of children. And she said, severely: .. Now, what's all this?"

So the children told her all their trouble~.

And the fairy godmother, no, she didn't wave her wand, and mutter mystic words, not a bit 10

of it!

She ju3t held out her arms, and said: orne here. " And the whole eight-and-thirty tumbled into her lap and she held them all quite comfortably, and there was room for more!

For she was a really truly mother.

And she wiped the tears away and mended the little pinafores and b:¡u5hed the towsled hair, and seeing that they were tired and hungry , she gave them gingerbread and jam and kisse3, and advice before she set them on the road again.

And then she said, ''Now, come along with me.I ., So the children started up the hill agam; but this time they skipped as they went along , and as they skipped they sang:

¡¡c

.. Oh , we know a lady who lives in a shoe; 'Though she has many children, she knows what to do.

Her words they are w:sdom, her deeds true and right; Her heart, it is pure golJ, all shining and bright."

And if you don't believe this story, come with me and I will show you where the fairy god mother lives on the side of the hill.

Class Song Oh, we follow the gold and the white, The colors of Class '21 , The colors of glory and honor, Of earnest work, sporting and fun .

We're bearing them upward and onward ; We're writing for them a history bright; We' re comrades and classmates for ever ; We follow the gold and the white .

Oh , Westhampton, our dear fo3ter mother , Who3e daughters are fairest and best, Thy child '21 stands before thee, Ambitious to follow the rest.

She pledges to thee her allegiance, And to thy traditions to be true, And that the gold and the white forever Shall wave for the red and the blue.

CHORUS

We pledge that the gold and the whit e fore ver Shall wave for the red and the blue .

One of the most charming social functions of the season was the luncheon given by Miss Gertrude Johnson at the Suicide Club on Tuesday evening.

Dish washing followed the cocoa.

MusicClass HE Music Class as a distinct organization is the late st born of Westhamp ton's activities. In December Mr . and Mrs. Hark er' s students of piano and voice met in the Blue Room, elected officers and committed themselves definitely to the task of strengthening in every way possible the Music De partment of the College. This was but a step further than the devoted work of Mr . and Mrs . Harker had gone in building up a real Music Department at Westhampton . The aim is not to over-emphasize the department , but to insure work of a certain st~ndard, to encourage musical interest and appreciation in the Colleg e, and gradually to establish a strong and distinct department.

'' Shivering Jimmy.''

"The Mills College girls like Jell-O. With fruit i11side and whipped cream outside, it is one of their favorite dishes and is affectionately kno,vn as 'Shivering Jin1my.'"

Mills Colle ge , ne ar San Fra11cisco, is the 011.lywoman's college 011the Pacific coast, and the student body is dra vv11 from a field of great exte11t. It ,vas a Mills College girl who told us about "Shivering Jimmy."

As a change from fudge and other common things, no one can be more appreciative of

JELL¡O than the girls who must provide their own dainties and do it without devoting much time and effort to it.

There are six pure fruit flavors of J ell-O: Strawberry, Raspberry, Lemon, Orange, Cherry, Chocolate. Each 10 cents at any grocer's.
