Sugannan Heard the old one horse Shea Speed-ing Swift-ly by the HaU of the Church, which, by the Marks of the Duke, was Grant -ed to the Porter, Ses- sions. When it arrived at his house on CUff Hartzeh he was there on the West side, to Tur-ner from the Sites which would be seen on the road. The Young Driver gave him a flower, of the Thorn-ton kind, which Speed-ily Withers, and then walking to the Shepherd, Ramsey, gave him a Pidgeon of Love, which when turned loose would flv straight to the Moon, Swift -er than a Gail-or anything that ever passed the North-cross. Ramsey, the Hunter, who was in Love with a Gal-a-wav out in the Woods of the West, started to pay Cash for the Pidgeon. The Carter onlv laughed and Clapp-ed his hand on his leg Boone. At dinner, after he had Avdelott, he told them the storv of the Bridges, where they made a man pav for connecting his own land over his own Brooks, and although he was a Luehr-mann than the others they Polk-ed him out of the Parrish to a Taylor ' s shop in Hobson-ville.

Captain of the baseball team of 1900-01. Jk Baseball Proverbs A ball in the hand is worth two good excuses. A hit in time is worth nine. When in Trenton do the Fitzes. Team work is the best policy. To err is human, but don ' t be too human. Fools rush in where wise base-runners hold their base. Whatever is, is right, if the umpire doesn ' t see it. A little bunt is a dangerous thing. Home runs are but singles of longer distance. The path round the bases leads but to the plate. Full many a player was born to play unseen and waste his usefulness on the farm. Man wants but few hits here below, but he wants those few hits long. A base or a strikeout comes to him who waits. People who live in glass houses mustn ' t live near a ball ground. A fool and his base are soon parted. ' Tis distance lends enchantment to the hit. G. M. S. MEACHAM STEWART. Captain of the footbairteam of 1901-02. A STEWART POSTON.

DaybreaK Faint gleams yon eastern pane — ' tis four o ' clock; Since the mid-dark and quiet of the night Has been no sound, and now proclaims the cock The dim sad wonder of the dawning light — As God ' s first thought of human soul, ' tis white And stainless, but withal as palely cold As a dead face. The doors of heaven unlock To let the stars in from the ghastly sight, And in the west the moon looks wan and old. Now while more chill with every moment ' s flight Grows the dense air. O, friend, I crave thy hand. On Time ' s dim deck I seem alone to stand. And gazing far, like mariner, behold Night shipwrecked on to-morrow ' s unknown strand. — R. i8 J. FALLS MAURY. Captain of the baseball teams of 1903-04 and 1904-05 JOHN G. ALBRIGHT. Captain of the football team of 1905-06. MARTIN F. SHEA. Captain of the baseball team of 1905-06. Mrs. Mosquito — Ain ' t you ashamed to come homie in this beastly intox- icated condition? Mr. Mosquito — Couldn ' t help it, mv dearsh ; I accidentally bit old man Boozer ' s nose. 23 PAT. A Member of Dr. Turner ' s Physiology Class. GREETING It is with unfeigned diffidence that we make our bow to the pubUc and crave the indulgence of our friends. In this age when new books crowd each other Hke snowflakes in a storm, it is customary for the author of every new publica- tion to apologize most humbly for inflicting a new burden on the reading public. Of course no one except the writer ever reads this preface, but when his book falls into the hands of his literary friends, and the author is almost ashamed to show himself in polite society, it is a great solace to him to see his apology in print and reflect that at least he has made the amende honorable to the world. We therefore offer the usual apology for the shortcomings of the editorial staff, but for the publication of the annual no apology is necessary. The book is needed by the boys of the Memphis University School, and without it the work of the past session would be incomplete. Here will be found in durable form the records of our athletic teams, i.f which we may justly feel proud. Here, too. 25 is the record of our daily life and some of the pleasant things that relieved the dull school hours. Here also appear the photographs of many old alumni boys who helped to make M. U. S. history in their day, and whose achievements are the prized heritage of the school. Moreover, the publication of an annual, not less than a successful football team, fosters a school spirit among the boys and brings the alumni into closer touch with their alma mater. And if it be true, as men say, that school and college days are the happiest of a man ' s life, then in after years, when the shadows deepen, it will be no small pleasure to open a well worn volume and live over again the happy days of nineteen hundred and six. These photographs, these crude literary efforts, drawings, and foolish grinds will then shine like stars through the misty past and give us pleasant dreams of things almost forgotten. If we can interest the alumni, or help ever so little to develop a loyal school spirit, or if some day this little volume will bring a smile and a pleasant recollec- tion to some gray -haired alumnus of M. U. S., we feel that our work will not have been in vain. 26 Calendar 1905 September 20 — Fall Term began. October 1 — Athletic Association organized.

Orlando Williamson Bailey, Bill, Oly B. Business Manager Topics and M. U. S.-Krro, ' 06. Bill entered school in the fall of 1900. From the very first he applied himself to his studies and has led his classes for the past several years. During the fall of 1905 he showed such good business ability in getting up a football programme that he was elected Business Manager of M. U. S.-Kito. Much of the success of this year ' s Topics and Annual is due to his untiring efforts. He will enter Princeton University this fall ORLANDO W. BAILEY. Eighth Form. Kennedy Clapp... Tuf, Tiffany, Shine. M. U. S.-KiTO Board, ' 06; Topics stafT, ' 06; President Athletic Board; football, ' 05. Vice- kennedy ' clapp, Eighth Form. Tuf until last fall had not taken part in any of the athletic games of the school. Last year he was persuaded to come out for the football team. He was at first tried out for a guard, but his weight was needed more in the center. He played a good game for M. U. S. at that position the whole year. SO Eighth Form, 1905-00 - Frankie, Nuts ' Frank Moore Harris.. Baseball, ' 05. Nuts has been unfortunate while with us. In 1904 he was almost a sure candidate for the baseball team, but just as the season began he was taken sick and was obliged to go to Texas for his health. He was on the pitching staff of the team the next year, and always held his own against his opponents. Last fall he was taken sick again just after the first football game of the season, so he was compelled to leave the squad. This spring he left us to prepare for Annapolis, to which institution he has received the primary appointment. Nuts received no demerits during his nine vears as a student of M. U. S. FRANK M. HARRIS, Eighth Form. Charles Galloway Morris Boucles Charles Galloway Morris is his name, but many of us have never heard of the Charles nor of the Galloway. He has always been and will always be Boucles to us. He entered school in the year 1899. Although he has never been what you might call a star, he has always stood well in his classes. He has been a member of several of the gym. teams and has taken an active interest in other departments of school athletics. CHARLES G. MORRIS, Eighth Form. Edward Garrett Riddick, Tight, Garrick Business Manager M. U. S.-Kixo, ' 06 and Topics, ' 00. When one speaks of Bailey, Riddick is thought of at the same time. Bailey and Riddick are insep- arable friends. Together they have made Topics, ' 06, a success, and have made the M. U. S. -Krro, ' 06, what it is. He has never taken any part in athletics except to advertise the games and look after the gate receipts. In these two departments of school ath- letics he has been invaluable. Riddick will become an academ. at Princeton this fall 51 EDWARD G. RIDDICK, Eighth Form. Eighth Form, 1905-06 GILBERT M. SCHLOSS, Eighth Form.

As soon as Prince entered school he began play- ing football. His weight and build promised for him a position on the first team. In 1902 he played sub- stitute. Ever since then he has played a star game in the line. His baseball abilities are not less than his football. He plays a good game in left field and is near the top in the batting average. In the recent gym. tournament he was the heavy man on the mats in several of the exercises. Schloss is enthu- siastic and public spirited, an all round good school fellow. His work on Topics and the Annual will be hard to surpass. The College or University that matriculates Prince is to he congratulated. 52 THe Tale of a Team Eleven little football players, hale and hearty men; Fifteen seconds after play, there were onh ten. Ten little football men, with signal and with sign, Played about a minute, and then there were but nine. Nine little football men, battling hard with Fate; One got kicked upon the head, and then there were but eight. Eight little football men, on the brink of heaven; Still another got his bumps, and then there were but seven. Seven little football men, full of fight and kicks; The left guard ' s eye was nigh put out, leaving only six. Six little football men, fighting and alive; Till another one got killed, leaving then but five. Five little football men, bleeding, torn and sore; One was thrown upon his neck, which left, you see, but four. Four little football men, feeling tired and blue. Fiercely bucked the rival line, but only two came through. Two little football men, now always on the run ; The larger ran himself to death, and then there was but one. One little football player put the ball behind the goal, And then he died of happiness; Lord, have mercy on his soul! — Gilbert M. Schloss. S3 HAN Pards jt Dan ' s heart was so full as he sat beside Winnifred out there in the darkness that he could not even speak. It is very embarrassing to want to say something so much and after having forced it right out on one ' s tongues end only at the last moment to feel it slide back down one ' s throat with a distressing gulp. Dan was trying hard, harder than he had ever tried in his whole life, as a succession of gulps testified. It was very amusing, but she never seemed to notice, and laughed and chatted on until slowly and painfully his throat became moist once more and his tongue came sullenly down from the roof of his mouth, where it persisted in sticking. It was very beautiful in the moonlight, at least so Winnifred thought. The pale silver beams shed a glimmering halo over the little town of low, shrink- ing houses, scattered aimlessly about, as they nestled upon the breast of the boundless prairie that stretched, stretched, stretched away seemingly into untold worlds. A few vellow lights winked sleepily out at the broad dusty road, as it sneaked up out of the darkness, paused and then slunk on into the shadows, like some famished creature of the night. Away out there on a lonely knoll a coyote, raising his nose high in the air, howled dismally, then scurried away over the great waves of earth that rose and fell, rose and fell in ceaseless monotony, as the billows of a troubled sea; and over all, silence, that unseen but eternal master hand of the wilderness, grasped all in his firm embrace, and the occasional far-away yelp or bark from out the night did not break, but seemed only to deepen the spell. One tiny light nodded, blinked manfully for a few moments, then dropped off to sleep. The gentle perfume from some hidden honeysuckle floated lazily by on the heavy air, and softly, almost imperceptibly, the strains of a low, plaintive waltz stole out on the night. With a start they both recognized that sweetest and saddest of melo- dies, Home, Sweet Home. The dance was over. They both rose involun- tarily and faced each other, his frame towering above her and his heart beating painfully as his eyes sought hers. Ah, could he, dared he, take in his arms this wisp of a girl, who was more to him than life itself, and pour out to her all the burning love that was bursting his heart. She looked at him for a moment in silence, then, giving her shapely head a toss that sent the brown curls flying over her shoulder, she shot up at him a glance that flashed a chal- lenge, while the corners of her mouth vainly fought back the smile that lurked there. 55 He stood irresolute for several moments. He, Dan Wilson, the best rancher, the fastest cowboy and the truest shot in the country ; he who had never known W ' hat fear meant, actually trembled before this slim, graceful figure. But that glance decided it; no Wilson had ever taken a challenge. With one step he clasped her tightly in his arms, and stooping gently kissed the mass of soft brown hair, while she, with a contented little sigh, nestled her head against his breast. Winnifred, he almost whispered, can you, will you be my wife? For answer she raised her lips to his, and then, slipping quickly from his arms, fied towards the house like some startled deer. Dan stood motionless, looking after her, while the world swam before his eyes. She was his, actually his. As he and Jack Williams rode back to the ranch that night he reined his horse close to his partner ' s side and told him all, for he and Jack had been part- ners, even in their childhood, and now in manhood were partners in the finest ranch the country knew. They had made it together, working, suffering, share and share alike, and now he poured out his heart to his comrade, like one brother to another. Jack and he were real pards. Oh, the jov of it all! Williams said nothing for several minutes, and then reaching over silently gripped the other ' s hand. How he could slave for her; she should be queen — queen of his heart, his world; and so he babbled on, telling his hopes, his dreams of the future. Ah, the future; he sighed happily as he thought of it. Several days passed, and Dan was kept too busy at the ranch with sick cattle even to think of leaving. They were short-handed as it was. He could have gone if Joe and Hank had not gotten overheated while arguing the respective merits of two tobaccos and in consequence of the excitement both had to be carried off to bed, and now lay meditativelv nursing bandaged shoulders; so Dan had to stay, as Jack had ridden back earlv the following morning, on import- ant business, he said. But he had sent a letter bv Jack, and now as he rode along in the sunshine the world seemed so bright, so beautiful; a lark sang very sweetly close by ; a quail rose with a flutter and darted off. He actually laughed when Montv snorted and sprang aside as a rabbit jumped right up under her feet and went bumping off down the road, leaving clouds of dust behind him. Can ' t tell the diiference ' tween a jack and a rattler, he laughed, but Monty only low- ered her ears and snorted back contemptuously, you can never tell, young fel- low. It was nearlv dusk when he came in sight of the town, and his heart beat furiouslv. Montv was tired, but freshened up a bit at an encouraging prod from spurs. She had made up her mind fullv what she would do to those very spurs if she ever caught them Iving around loose at the ranch. He had almost reached the town when something white bv the roadside caught his eye for a 56 second. Somebodv must have dropped it. He turned round and riding back to the spot dismounted, and picking up a letter he turned it over and read, Miss Winnifred Nor . The letter fluttered to the ground. Involuntarily he stepped back, as if he had received a blow, but an instant later he jammed the letter carelessly into his pocket, and with a laugh turned and tightened his saddle girth. Jack has always been so cussedlv careless about things. It was full dark when he rode down the only street of the little town. Several lights twinkled merrilv at him as he rode past. He stretched wide his arms and filled his great chest with the pure sweet air until it would stand no more. Life had never seemed so sweet before. As he rode past the Buck- horn an idea seemed to strike him, and flinging himself from the saddle he made his mare fast to the hitching rail alongside of a dozen or more bronchos. He strode straight to the bar, and leaning his huge frame against it turned round and surveyed the smokv room. Grimy lamps set against the wall shed a dim, mottled light over the dingy place and the rough card tables, around which men laughed, smoked, chewed, as the fancy struck them, or inadvertently squirted a stream of tobacco juice under the table upon his neighbor ' s boots. Most of the men were rough cowboys, with leather chaps and sombreros, but here and there were scattered a few citizens, and two Mexicans, while cautiously watching Billy behind the bar, were making disastrous inroads upon the free lunch. Ding stacks of chips on the table proclaimed the favorite pastime ; but a few played seven-up, while over at one table four old fellows were engaged in an exciting game of pinochle. Dan stood for a moment, taking in the familiar scene, then his voice rose clear and strong above the low hum of conversation. Boys, he said, the drinks are on me. Instantly all noise ceased, and every eye in the room was fastened on him. He stood, leaning carelessly against the bar, his sombrero pushed back from his forehead, and one spur jingling as he tapped one foot on the footrail, while the trace of a smile flitted across his rough tanned face. For a moment there was dead silence, and then everybody got up and came forward. Here was an offer not to be overlooked, for Dan Wilson was not only a gen- eral favorite, but the best shot in the country, and any refusal, if anybody had thought of refusing, might be misinterpreted as a mark of imperliteness and so start an argument. Even Sam Hicks, who had always had it in for Dan, came sauntering up with the rest; but Sam, for reasons of his own, had always managed to keep it in while Dan was around. Dan stood alone at one end of the bar, while the crowd of men elbowed their way up to the rail. At his first words Billy had started suddenly up and now stood smiling expectantly at the long row of men facing him. 57 Straight fer mine. Same here. Long toddy ' ll do me. And then broke in a clamor of orders that a graphophone could not have recorded, but Billy never took his eyes from Dan ' s face. The latter stood quietly waiting for the noise to cease, and then turned to Billy, the bartender. I guess it will be champagne, he said. Agam everyone stared at Dan, all but Billy, who dived under the bar after a case of straw-packed bottles as though somebody had started a row. The glasses were filled, and still no one moved. Dan ' s bronzed face was slightly flushed and his eyes flashed with suppressed excitement. He gazed at the long line of inquiring faces a moment, then lifted the fragile glass high in the air. Instantly every glass was raised to his. Gentlemen, he said slowly, here ' s to the sweetest, purest girl in all the world. Miss Winnifred Gladstone, my future A coarse laugh burst from the far end of the bar. Miss Winnifred Gladstone — your future — why, man, she skipped town night ' fore last with Jack Williams. Why you are plumb locoed! Beat your time, eh? broke out another. A general roar of laughter burst forth. Winnifred — Jack — gone ! The room and the line of jeering faces swam before his eyes in a misty haze ; yet, except for the slight tightening of the fingers on the bar rail, Dan Wilson did not move a muscle. He held himself as in a vice. His head cleared. To Miss Winnifred Gladstone, he repeated steadily, and the first man that speaks or laughs I ' ll drop in his tracks! Something flashed clear and cold in the dim light as he spoke, and the two Mexicans suddenly lost their appetites and hurried out for a breath of fresh air. There was dead silence for nearly a minute. Many a brave and reckless heart beat in that sturdy line, but the power of those cold flashing eyes behind that steady gleam was irresistible. Drink, he said. The glasses clinked in silence and were drained at a gulp. He stood a mom ent longer regarding them, then turning, with a scornful laugh, strode stol- idly towards the door. On the threshold he reeled slightly, but steadying him- self with an effort plunged out into the night. H: Three long vears passed; passed as all years do, to some like flitting shad- ows; to others thev seemed but dark, gloomy corridors through which they groped, groped wandering hopelessly on and on, but never reaching the end. 58 Three times the great wheel of chance had turned, and a few, a very few, had drawn the joys. The sun shone the same, just the same, as it had shone that day so long ago, and yet three years had passed. How many lonely mounds could that span count? Who knows? Who cares? Gradually the fiery sun sank into the west, and its rays, striking the bare red sides of the Sugar Loaf, turned them to molten gold and made the white road across it stand out like a jagged scar. This queer mound, rearing its long rounded body above the barren prairie, seemed like some giant ' s grave — alone, forgotten. The failing rays, slipping across its top, fell full upon a solitary horseman, as he wended his lonely wav. The mare moved wearily on, while her rider listlessly watched the road ahead. He was a powerful man, but his shoulders drooped, his cheeks were sunken, and while he held his head proudly erect and his jaws set firmly, his eyes had no life, no fire, no hope. For three years he had wandered, wandered, wandered here and there, from place to place, without aim or purpose, only to be going. Where, he neither thought nor cared. How he had fought with himself at first; fought, fought until the pain about his heart had slowly given way to a dull nothingness. He had heard of her only once in all that time, just after her death. His horse climbed laboriously up the side of the hill. With one last eft ' ort she reached the top, and suddenly stopped within fifteen yards of another rider. There was an instant ' s pause, then two shots rang out together. With a low moan, Dan Wilson slipped from the saddle and fell limply to the ground, while the other horse, rearing drunkenly, with a bullet through its brain, fell backwards, pinning his rider beneath him. Several minutes Wilson lay as he had fallen, and then slowly raised himself on his elbow. His face and throat were wet, and with a laugh he passed his sleeve over them. Oh, yes; one of the fellows had thrown water on him. Couldn ' t they ever let a fellow sleep in peace? His eyes opened and he saw the silent mass of a horse with a rider lying on his back, crushed beneath it. How still they were ! Like a blow, it all came back, and with a cry of rage he tried to rise, only to feel an agonizing pain in his leg and fall back again. Should he escape him now, this man who had ruined his life, broken his heart; should he, after all these months, these years of pitiless pain, slip away unscathed? The thought blinded him with fury. Three times he rose by main force of will, to feel that excruciating pain, and to fall again. How he loathed him! Then an idea leaped into his numb brain, and throwing his head back he laughed long and childishly. To 59 think that he, Wilson, had lain there for O! so long — he could not remember exactly, but anyway it must have been ages — and had just thought of it. He began to crawl towards the silent heap. Slowly, laboriously he dragged his body over the ground. Who was it? O, yes, Billy — that ' s right, it was Billy, who had always said he was so quick to think. Ha! ha! what would Billy think now when he found this out ? Goodness ! How everything danced about ! What was the matter with them anyway? How one leg dragged behind and felt so heavv ; he had never known it to do that way before. Inch bv inch he covered the intervening space and had almost reached his goal when his hand touched something soft. It was a bundle. Ah, yes; he remembered now seeing Jack clasp it as he fell. He touched it with both hands, and, strangest of anything yet, it actually moved. He could not help laughing; it was very amusing. It moved again, and the shawl falling back a tiny face peered confidingly up into his. In an instant the mist cleared away before his eyes and he saw it all. He clutched the child in both hands and looked hun- grily down into his face. Then a loathing came over him. It was their child, theirs! Jack ' s and hers! Jack ' s when it should have been his — his and hers! A red blur swept before his eyes, and with a hideous cry of rage he raised the child high over his head to hurl it from him. For an instant the tiny being was poised in midair, then a shrill, gleeful coo broke the silence and the little body squirmed in his hands with delight. It was as though a cold shower had struck him full in the face. For a moment he hesitated, and then gazing up into those laughing blue eyes — Winnif red ' s eyes — was lost. The dying sun, pausing for one last, long look, turned the rolling waves of prairie to burnished gold and then sank to its watery grave. The heavens still blushed from his admiring gaze. It was the song of the departing day, like the death carol of a dying swan, the last but most beautiful. Slowly the shadows crept from out their hiding and stole cautiously forward. The heavens paled, the blush departed, the day was done. A gentle breeze slipped from out the west, rippling the crest of the grassy sea. One by one the tiny stars opened their sleepy eyes and blinked drowsily down upon the silent rider, as he wended his way through the darkness. Then the moon, rising slowly in the east, silvered the billows which had just been so golden. How he had crawled to his horse, how he had clambered to the saddle with his precious burden, he never knew nor cared. Suddenly Monty stopped, pricked up her ears, and with a joyful whinny trotted eagerly forward. There lay the lights of the town, just as they had been so long before. Home! Ah, what a meaning that one word has for the weary wanderer. Once more there seemed to steal from out the darkness the soft strains of a waltz; once more she stood before him in the inoonlight — his, his 60 alone! He pressed the tiny bundle closer to his heart, and looking down into the sleeping face he timidly touched one tiny fist with his finger. The eyes did not open, but instantly the tiny fingers clutched his trustingly. He smiled, and then something very queer happened — something gave way in his heart, and the dull pain was no more, and strangest of all a great big tear rolled down his cheek and dropped on the tiny hand. Then a new look came into his eyes; a deep, contented expression settled over his face as he took the little hand in his- Pards, he said slowly, pards — on the square.

Hobson is a funny man, And all his wit is known To come straight from the minstrels, From Tambo and from Bones. Sextus is a ladies ' man. The kind that makes ' em sigh; But they cannot recognize him When he sits way up so high. Sherman has the light gold hair, A very shaggy crop.

Henry Martin Medal to the pupil who makes the highest average on all of his exam- inations in the Academic Department, and another medal is given in this depart- ment by the principals, to the boy having the second highest average. In the Primary Department, a medal is awarded by the principals to the pupil receiving the highest examination-mark in all his classes. A prize of twenty dollars in gold is given by Mr. John R. Pepper, of Mem- phis, to the student who makes the highest average in Latin, without falling below eight} ' per cent in any one examination. The Rt. Rev. Thomas F. Gailor, Bishop of the Diocese of Tennessee, gives a gold medal to the student who makes the highest average in the Sixth, Seventh or Eighth Forms in mathematics, in his daily grades and three examinations, without falling beiow eighty per cent in any examination. Dr. B. F. Turner, of Memphis, offers a gold medal to the student who makes the highest average in English, without falling below eighty per cent in any one examination. A gold medal is offered by Messrs. T. N. Buckingham and Beverly W. Wellford, of Memphis, to the student who wins the highest number of monograms in the several athletic departments of the school, and at the same time combines the highest average in scholarship, without falling below eighty per cent in any one examination. 76 Honor M 1894-95.

When I was young, school meant hard work, But the boys of to-day do nothing but shirk. Of course I know ' tis an excellent school, But this seems to be a very queer rule. ' You ' re much mistaken, said his friend Mr. Bland, ' Tis very plain you don ' t understand; For those are the boys who, with work well done. Are allowed to enjoy the fresh air and sun. I know you remember each hot afternoon, As you sat at your desk and longed for fair June, How your mind wandered far from dry Latin books, To the birds which sang in the trees o ' er the brooks. But these merry lads from the school on the hill Have worked their way out to play at will ; With high marks — no demerits nor stays — And so happily pass the warm spring days. — Maurice Woodson. 90 Football Team, 1905 t R.

Out of nineteen games played, thirteen football and six baseball, we have lost but three. The football teams especially plaved phenomenally, their goal line being crossed in only one game each season. The team of 1904 rolled up 333 points against twenty-five for their opponents. The team of 1905 did not score as many points but neither did they have as many scored on them. Their total was ninety -three points against opponents ' eight. The 1905 baseljall team lost their first game by a very close score, but they won their other games easily, scoring fifty -four against opponents ' eighteen. The last year has witnessed several additions to our athletics. Socker foot- ball was introduced and won favor at once. While no outside games were played it is safe to venture that M. U. S. could have put an A-1 socker team on the field. Basketball also appeared for the first time. The boys took to it imme- diately and organized several school teams. No outside schedule was arranged, but by next year this will become a regular division of our school athletics. M. U, S.

Williford (feeling an inspiration coming on) — Banana carts, sir. Mr. Rohb — Wilkinson, what ' s work? Wilkinson — I don ' t know, sir. Mr. Cobb recently married Miss Webb. He says that he knew she was intended for him the minute he spied her. It happened one evening that our Editor-in-Chief was dining at a certain young lady ' s home. On being asked to take some pudding, he absent-mindedly answered, Owing to the crowd of other matter, we are unable to find room for it. Visitor — Oh, Mr. W , you can see the aurora-borealis back there (point- ing toward the Gym.), can ' t you? Mr. W (puzzled) — No; that is only Red and Yellow Johnson, wearing purple neckties and green socks, turning flip-flaps. o m en o Cl, OS ScHool Song ' s {Ttinc: Auld Lang Syne. ) That good old song of M. U. S., We ' ll sing it o ' er and o ' er; It cheers our hearts and warms our blood To yell and shout and roar. We come from dear old M. U. S., Where life is bright and gay; Let ' s all together give a yell, For we ' ll beat to-day! THe RvisHing Song Our boys are on the football field; They ' ve gathered for the fray ; The Memphis yell is in the air, We ' ve come to win the day. We ' ll teach the game of football To our friends across the State, While we are shouting for Memphis. Chorus — Then rush! Oh, rush! We ' ll rush the ball along; A kick, a shove — We ' ll send it through the throng. No line can stop our fellows In their rushes fierce and strong, While we are shouting for Memphis. 123 {Tune: Navajo. } We ' ve come to Red Elm for Thanksgiving Day, We ' ve come five hundred strong; We have a little game of ball to play, We ' ve brought the team along. We ' ll tear • line into bits, Wipe up the field with gore, Stay in the game till quits. Fight as we fought before ; And after the game is won, We ' ll blow in ' s mon. Chorus — • why look so sore? ' s no worse than she was before; You keep quiet and see M. U. S. Stand by her football team. II. When is yelling, Hold it, boys! You ' ll see her line give way, Then M. U. S. will answer, Loop the loop, is in the soup. We ' ll make 3 ' ou punt and we ' ll make you kick, Then smash right through your guards ; We ' ll make you blue and we ' ll make you sick. And go through for fifty yards. Then you ' ll hear M. U. S. yell, ' gone to well — Chorus — , , list to our song; We know you think that we treat you wrong. We play ball while you play ping pong; has Go, Went, Gone.

This is the only col- lege in the South that has a purely actual business system of teaching the commercial branches. This can be easily demonstrated by a little investigation. Do not enter a school until you have visited Nelson ' s and have seen for yourself the students engaged jn actual business and special class drills. It is not safe to enter a school that pays com- missions The party recommending such a school and posing as your friend (?) is after the commission, not your welfare. Upon visiting a school, insist upon seeing the stu- dents at work, that you may judge for yourself if the work is practical. It will pay to exercise a little prudence or old-fashion common sense, and not permit yourself to be hypnotized by the oily-tongued manager before you get further than his office.
