Uribe lass nf 1908 li have been cantioneil thus by the wisest man the ages have X known, l1oast not thyself of iovmorrow, for thou knowest not what a tlav may bring forth. l.et another man praise thee anfl not thy own lips. .Xml yet we are going to follow the beaten path antl .lisregartl this atlvice in two ways, first by speaking of the future with its bright prospects. anal seconcl by relating' our own history. lYe tlo this not because we clo not think that this is goofl atlvice, but because we think that after we have taken a flegree in llentlerson College we will he wiser by far than Solomon in all his glory ever hopecl to be, lYe prefer to write our own biography because we flo not think that any other one will give ns justice. The hrst victim of greatness whom we shall see is Kliss Lou Clark. .Xlthough words may fail us ancl our pen may tremble when we face the insur- mountable obstacle of recorcling the qleefls of one so illustrious. our earnest DYHXCY is that the guartlian angel of prose may guizle our pen. liorn on the ocean of joy, rockerl in the craflle of the mleep, rearerl on the imposing beach where balmy breezes blow, the wontler is how she eoultl leave her happy home at lleirne on the Coast and cast her lot with such a quiet anal unassuming class of people as those who infest the halls of Henrlerson, XYe may safely juilge that she will either be a missionary to some tlesert anrl uninhabitel islancl, or cast her lot in a nunnery. Surely she will never treatl the path in which wretched man has set his foot. Her opinion of men is that they are all green. XVhen we were calletl upon to write about Miss Kathleen Gooclga-ine, at tirst we refused, not because we thought ourselves incompetent but because we clifln't have time, However, after being persuatlecl that we were the only ones worthy of such an arrluous task. we acceptetl with pleasure. XYe can say much about her past but this volume will holtl only a small part of her future, for there is a 'young gentleman of this school in love with this fair laqly an4l every one knows what love-stories mean. The conclusion of the whole matter is this, They were marriecl and livecl happily ever afterwarrlsf' llut quite often this is not true, for all do not live like the picture we see. llut we are sure that this will be a happy union, for no one who knows her can picture a man with heart so black, so base, so voirl of conscience, who coulcl not live in peace with such a one as she. 'XYe know that she will meet with unbounclecl happiness upon the high- way of life. lt has always been a custom of the lnrlians, antl is fast becoming that of the whites, to choose as their rulers ancl aclvisors the olwler anQl more experi- enced men of their race. XYe have triecl to keep abreast of the times and have chosen, and chosen well, Nr. .X. tl, Grayrlon to act as our chief. We have selected him to guicle and tlirect our footsteps over the stormy paths of college life because he had more experience before we made our entrance upon the stage in the clrama of life than we have harl since that time. llis form gracetl the halls of Henmlerson long before llenjamin Franklin memorizetl the multiplication table. He is a gentleman of the prehistoric type, wise in council. courtly' in society, stern in commanfl. 'llhrough the journey of his life we are absolutely certain that his path will be strewn with tokens of love ancl gooclwill ancl that he will go to his rewartl as he has gone through school.
