Soon after she has comfortably settled herself for an hours hard stir.ly. she is disturbed by a noise in the hall. The noise is a girl ringing on her way to the library The girl reviews what she was studying before the disturbance and tries to concentrate again.

New songs are a'.so going to be sung. TH',S means that we must attend the pep meetings ami learn the IOHgl we're going to sing. We have •>ur cheer leaders and we have our KMUBJ. The rest iH left up to us. There is no need to comment on he varsity. It is enough to say that hey are doing their best to put S T. C. where it belongs in athletics. Although some w'ill be added, and some eliminated the varsity squad at iresent is composed of the following -trls: Mitchell, Vincent, Perkins, Hal' 'manager). Gary, White, Crute, Wells Wright.

Long ago when I was very younp the title, "Mis.-," ha i a sort of rai':art fascimt'on for me. There seemed to be B sort 0( delightful thril In the word. It implied dignity, power, command. With childish disregard I used to happily muse upon the time in the rerrvote, very remote, future wlun I should be a "grown lady", tal" and dignified with an abundance of light hair pElsd bijili upon my head The years slowly and imperceptably slipped by. I passe! several iinpat ently awaited birthdays, but I seemed to grow no older, I had not yet reacheJ that enviable state of dignity. Soon I had attained the age of "almost eighteen". I had, somehow, unconsciously relinquished that former childish forecast of my "grown up" self. It had slwly slipped from my consciousness. I CSSSSd to conjecture upon the matter at all. At this ti-me I came to S. T. C. My notions concern'ng college were the rather vague, alluring impressions gained from stories. I had never given the question of what I should be callc ; a thought. Quite unexpectedly I was assailed on all sktog by the long-awaited title, "Miss". Where wa» its radiance, its: charm, its allurement; all the dignity, power and

Bmpty, hollow, inconstant quality!, rt, tOO, SOOII lied and I am left with two Cherished cnerisueu cireams dreams siiaiterea. shattered. Al•he, gfa I do not consider myself quite "grown up", I know that they can't be realized. I am short, my hair is dark; and, I almost detest the once radant title, "Miss ' Elizabeth L.

THE SISTINK MADONNA There lungs in Miss Counting's class room this week, a copy of the greatest of all pictures—The Sistiine Madonna, by Raphael Sanzia. It, is he apex of all rcIVgious art, rising >ut of the domain of the particular ind temporal nto the realm of the 'niversal and eternal. At the first glance the picture appears small—the forms are less than 1 fe size—and to the eyes educated by ;he Gran' Duca and the Madonna of he chair, it appears rather dull in olor. The larger areas of green, blue i: gray, seem to give a donvinencc '.o the cooler colors; but presently ■me discovers that the colors are •nore subdued and the contrasts soft2r than usual, and that the whole canvas is suffused with the dim green Ko]den ^ of ft ^m gl.u,e (n September. Mary is faith incarnate. What a "ace she has! How beautiful! A blind, •irJintelligent faith fears nothing, because it knows nothing; an informe 1 aith may have the assurance of cernty, but then it ceases to be faith, 'laving passed over into knowledge. In true faith there lurks forever the luestlor^ the uncertainty, the possibilities of doubt. That is the secret >f the look in Mary's face.
