Seminary into Miss Eloise Hemphill's classesl
 Almost since the Seminary first : opened its doors, Miss Hemphill has been teacher of the little folks, "A years of a most useful life having been given to their service. When l asked for her photograph for the paper, and she hesltated, it was the, soft pleading of a child's voice: 'oh please, Miss Eloise; oh, do! we want you so badly" that won her over.
 In such summery frocks were the alumnae girls-frocks of every color of the rainbow And even the oldest girls were not very old at thatl They never could be, for are they not taught eternal youth of heart at the Seminary.
 The Seminary might be said to be young, too-though very old for Bir- mingham. It's 25 years of age Dur ing the conclave. it's silver anniver- sary was also celebrated. Here came offerings, in eternal silver. for Miss
 Morton, so dearly loved by all the student body-their shining bright ness only matching the eyes of those who looked upon and glorled in their beauty. They should have been very fine Gas they were) for this woman, who gave, and is giving, so much or her life for girlsl
 The Gifts Set out on q table, their magnifi- cence dominated the reception room, where everybody assembled for re- treatments.
 A magnificent silver water set was the gift from the alumnae, and from
 the teachers and student body, and even from the little folks came three dozen sterling teaspoons, three dozen
 salad forks, two bon bon dishes,
 with spoons to match and a magnifi- cent pair of candlesticks and five | light candelabrum'
 All-every piece-was engraved with the letter "M..' for Miss Morton.
 The lovely spring day assemblage furnshed the first opportunity that many of the girls here had to sec | the new quarters, bought just year | ago by Miss Morton. and many eyes | filled up with tears of just real hap | piness that their old school has at tained such glory.
 It was fine to know that you be- l longed to an institution splendid | enough and worthy enough to have | gone forward and attained, each year | of it's life.
 The old girls took possession Of | 1t by rights. Their hearts sang as l they came up the magnificent white steps to the institutions grounds. It was like moving into a new home. But how fine to know that the home-

Colonel May Stops
 Ouer in Birmingham
 En Route to Shoals

Col. L. A. May, a native of Bir- mingham. but for many years a resi- deDt of New York, who has been making his semi i-annual visit to rel atives in the city,, leaves this after noon to attend the Muscle Shoals conference of the Southern Conner cial congress at Florence.
 Colonel May, who is president of the proposed Mobile and 'West Ala bama railroad project, which has broad and non-forfeitable charter from Muscle Shoals to Mobile with a very low grade, is a strong advo- cate of the government accepting Henry Ford's offer to develop, for the benefit of the entire country, that vast water power, which for untold centuries has been going to waste.
 This great railroad enterprise.

It made them think of long ago days, moments drifted into the past, hours over desks and in class room. times when hair hung down the back, and mad scrambles to get breakfast done and hurry to the car that Miss Beairds last bell find them not tardy
 For we are talking about the Lou lie Compton Seminary. And every body knows that Miss Caroline Beaird has been official summoner to chapel theso many wonderful years. She has been there just 23.
 The Old Girls
 Those who cried out their pleasure over the words were the old girls just there for the afternoon to embrace Miss Hattie Morton, principal, and the teachers; to enthuse over one an- other and tell tales out of glorious girlhood past-and to flutter about the seniors and the juniors and the sophomores and to see themselves in their bright faces, and to pat the heads of two little fellers' who re- cited the poem.

folks and sehoolmates would be there! And they were--Norma Hocd Lester on the gallery first of all-- and Barbara Ransom and Fannie Dobbs Mcdonald. and
 Something Missing
 But something was lacking. A former students voice broke excited ly on the words, pressing Norma for the answer; everybody knew Norma must know!
 But Zaidee, where is zaidee Rog- CTS? It can't be a party without Zaideew
 But Norma had the sad news to tell that Zaidee, the always merry, the madly loved. the generous, the ex- eruciatngly humorous, clever coigner of unexpectedly funny phrases, was ill, and would not be therei The sun darkened bit, therefore for some of the old girls. The program began with music which was closely followed by bus mess meeting of the alumnae and the election of officers which resulted as follows: President, Miss Barbara Ransom; vice presidents, Fannie Dobbs Mcdonald Ellen Spears liar ris, Sarah Southall, Virginia Brock man Evans. Sarah Vann Hennigan Katherine DeBardeleben Hunter. Lena Cartright Preston; corresponding sec retary, Miss Carrie Lee Pugh; re- cording secretary, Miss Erin Hol- combe: treasurer, Miss Nelle Maddox
 Splendid Music
 The program by pipe organ. piano and violin was very sweet and beau- tiful. This was followed by a pre- sentation of the water set to Miss Morton by Elizabeth Chew Anderton president of the alumnae, and for that organization. After this. stunts to show the development, by five year periods, of the Seminary were put on, beginning with the little poem which leads this story and which
