The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1923-01-07

No, 1T never came out who tied
the Tapping white spread on the
creature. But since you don't 60
to school there, ana never willard
well, it vast. was
Sorry, but we're not allowed to
pass on this information. Besides.
we never gossip, having been stu
dents ourselves and mixed up one
gay day in slatheri1g molasses on
door knobs and spots other than
flapjacks where molasses was never
meant to have found sweet and
"gummy' homing spot. We never
have been quite sure that the be-
specialized officials wouldn't come
down and get us yet if they ever
found out.
The exodus is leaving mourn
full fathers and mothers be-
hind. But if the youngsters didn't
go back, there couldn't be gradua-
tons, valedictory speeches, broader
modern culture, nor any young
folks who had ever read "The
Cricket on the Hearth" For, so
far as we have been able to ferret
out, nobody has ever spanked up
the grim courage to get through
that volume except at school, and
under the jurisdiction of a deter
mined and firm jawed tutor.
Now sing dirge.
Bring on the mourning!
For here are some of the charm
ing youths and girls who have left
Birmingham deso1ate, or who are
bidding it good-by in the next day
or two:
Miss Madeline Jacobs and Miss
Virginia Jacobs, daughters of Mr..
and Mrs. Scion Jacobs. The former
attends Smith college at Northamp-
ton, Mass, while the latter goes to
st. Annes Episcopal school at
Charlottesville, Va.
Madeline left Thursday, equipped
with candy that was husky Shout
der load, even for Santa Claus, and
plenty enough to make her solid
with every sweet-toothed lady-hu-
man at Smiths. Said she expected
to strap that candy by the neck
like she used to strap her books,
and carry it in open. She could
thereby feel sure of an intense and
Vesuvius welcome by the time she
hove within fieldglass view of her
destination.
Enrolled also at Smiths is Miss
Alexandra London, who left Friday,
and who, on her way north, will
stop for brief visit to friends.
Miss Virginia Raul and Miss Rose
Smith, who are pupils at Madame
Hourigan's school in New York city,
will not leave Birmingham until to-
morrow. Miss Mary Collett Earle
and Miss Dorothy Rice returned to
Burnham, at Northampton, Mass,
Friday. Miss Charlotte Rushton
and Miss Cecil Gray Johnston will
not go back to Rogers Hall, Lowell,
Mass, until tomorrow.
Miss Josephine Connors, so pretty
and fascinating, will return to
Ogontz. Philadelphia, tomorrow, as
will Miss Dorothy Kettig. They will
travel together, and, Of course,
along the route will stack up in
their minds golden memories of the
back-to-hard-labor and midnight
feasts" trip.
The following girls left Tuesday
for Goucher college, Baltimore.
(That town must have aroused from
its lethargy when they got back to
its old dull streets, for who or what
can resist youth and its joyous
merry making?):- Miss Mary Eliza
beth Wilson, Miss Vonceil Oden,
Miss Elizabeth Gewin, Miss Ann
Ellis, Miss Elizabeth Agee. Miss
Louise Nevins and Miss Dorothy
King.
The following Birmingham girls

con, Lynchburg, Va: Miss Mildred
Hendricks, Miss Ellen Wood, Miss
Kathleen Moore, Miss Sidney Adair.
Miss Sarah Wood and Miss Mar
tina Wood. They left January 8.
A Wellesley group will gaily
take its way back north tomorrow
morning. If its membership is like
that of most departing college
coteries, they'll probably be
equipped with every gift Kris Krin-
gle stopped to pitch out of his at
mospheric four-wheeler, for scat
tering, indeed, are the girls who
would even family dream of going
back without those glittering bau-
bles! What goods Christmas, any
way, if it doesn't furnish an OPP
portunity to get back and girlishly
"show off," No good at all! The
idea! Besides, it sometimes takes
a whole school to decide what a
newfangled Christmas present is
useful for, anyway.
All these are Wellesley students:
Miss Augusta Mason, Miss Virginia
Jemison, Miss Virginia Foster and
Miss Anna McLester.
Miss Elizabeth Forsythe is a
Sweetbriar girl, who will leave to-
day, as will Miss Bingham Oliver
