T sooiiis as but n day since we the class of ' HJ (Mitcrcd tlic doors of Soiitliwcslerii to take the studies offered to us by tbis institution. P ut, in reality, live lon ? years liav(; ])assed; five years of bard earnest wor-k, in wliicb we liavo met difficulties and luive mastered tliem, and because of liavin mas- tered tliem, we luive become stron ' er in will, in intellect, and in our anil)ition to overconu any obstacles no matter wbat tbey may l)e. For some of us tlie road has been loni; er and I ' ouijlier than for others, but as we approach the end we know full well that it only leads into a much harder one to travel, which in turn, leads us on to a land from which no traveler returns. A mere record of passin,i ' events can scarcely be called history until it is looked at thru the telescope of years; but who can tell but t liat some day this short record may l)e the means of tracing the life history of one of our members who has become famous? On September 16, 1911, a part of our class came to this school from different sections of this great state and some from other states, but all with the same view: to broaden our minds by education so that we might better our condition in life, and at the same time, that of our countrymen and society in general. Of this part of the class there are few remaining, for most of them either tlirough their misfortunes, or their lack of ambition to measure up to the standard required of them, have been dropped from the roll of our class and in most cases, from that of the school. For these mem- l)ers we entertain a deep sympathy and deplore the fact that they can- not share the honors we shall receive in May. The other and larger part of our class entered Southwestern during the month of January 1912. They, but for a few exceptions, are still here and constitute with us and a few members that have joined the class since, the class of ' 1(5. As I write this history a thousand memories rush tlirough my brain. I can see with my mind ' s eye the old familiar faces of the upper classmen smiling at us for our timidity and taunting us with the term Freshie as we passed them on our way to and from classes, I can see myself with my classmates pondering over some crazy example in Algebra or fuming because we could not plane a lilock of wood straight. How clearly do I see the jubilant faces of my classmates and how distinctly do I remember their wild exclamations of rejoicing the day we defeated the Senior Class of that year, in indoor baseball, there- by winning the pennant and the school championship. But, ah! how striking- the contrast between tlie faces of tliat day and the sad, scared ones that might have been seen coming into the examination room, the morning of the first exam. After four months of vacation, we returned to Southwestern, glad that we were together once more and resolved to study harder than we had studied the previous year. How exultant we were over the fact that we were no longer despised Fresliies but distinguished Sophs., with the privileges of associating with the higher classmen, or torment- ing the new-comers — provided there was no teacher around to protect the poor innocent things — as we had been tormented the year before. Then came the grind of every day work, and with the raising of the standard of the institution one-half term, setting the date of grad- uation and the goal to which we aspired, farther away. This however did not discourage us, but instead, it acted as a spur to urge us on to greater efforts; for we reasoned, Do we not profit by it? A wise greater efforts; for we reasoned, J3o we not profit by it? A wise shall attain unto wise counsels. This we did, and have not oiny profited by it from the fact that we have had to study more subjects, bat this one disappointment has helped ns to bear those that followed, and will no doubt, help us to ))ear those to come. During our third year here we began the study of sciences, and for many nights the black darkness of the massive walls of the dormitories were broken here and there by a narrow beam of light, telling the story of some poor boy burning midnight oil, pondering over some long equation in chemistry or trying to drum into his head Charles ' and Boyle ' s Law. Thus we went thru chemistry; some days struggling with a problem, some days choking almost to death while performing an experiment with chlorine or some other poisonous gas ; and now and then punctuating the drudgery by an explosion or an accident, and oft times both. In our fourth year we suffered another raise of standard, causing the date of our graduation to be moved still farther from us and more and harder subjects thrust upon us. During this session we did all kinds of work, from testing milk and cream and inspecting dairies, to making tools in the forge shop ; and the girls, not having the privilege of working in this inferno, got their share of burns and disappointments in the cooking or domestic science department. It was in the latter part of this year that we had to wrestle will Physics and Trig.; and besides llicsc, Krciicli and Latin, and l iii,i;-!isli Lilcrat ui-c occnp ' KMl a considerable pari ol ' ( nr precions time. AVe are now in our hist year of schoolinj;- here, with on ly a lew more months left. Are we glad tliat we are about to wind up our successful career at this institution! No. We love this school, our teachers and the many friends we have nuide while in Tjafayette, and we are loath to h ' ave them; l)nt we are conscious of a duty that calls us out into the world to benin our mission in life and we must answer this call. For some it may be one tliin.u ' , for others another; but for all, our mission is to liolp in the uplift of mankind both morally and educationally, and in this way show our appreciation for the many favors bestowed upon us by our God, our government, and our Alma Mater. In conclusion we wish to thank these good men and woinen, these apostles of education and morality, for the time, the trouble, and the patience they have expended in giving us this foundation of education, also for the kindness they have shown us while here, for the unceasing efforts to make of us good enlightened citizens. We also msh to thank the people of Lafayette Parish for the part they played in establishing this school, and therel)y the means of our education. Last but not least, we wish to extend our thanks to the good legislators and far sighted men who conceived the idea of such an institution and to the tax-payer who made this idea practicable. Comrades, we have come to the parting of tlie ways, but as you step forth from this institution, remember that your Alma Mater ex- pects great things of you, and that this is not the end, but the beginning. As ull)rmttjl) A OSlass BaiUly Say Tom, tomorrow is the J4tli day of May. Yes, just tliink of it, till ' L ' 4tli of May, H) . ), and it is tlie niiitli anniversary of our i;-rad- uatiou, from S. Ij. 1. I. down in Louisiana! I tliink we shall have to celebrate. Sui)i)ose we tour the states for a few months. Is it a g ' o! ' ' Sure Scott, we need a vacation, anyway. ' ' AVe left New York the next morning, and our first stop was CUii- cago. As Tom had a frightful toothache, we started in search of a dentist as soon as w e arrived. We were soon rewarded for all our walking by seeing a large sign that rea l thus: False sets made to order in two lior s. We entered and after waiting for an hour or so, we were admitted into the doctor ' s presence and to our amazement, we were facing none other but old Capt. Hopkins. We all had had an idea that he would become a farmer. The surprise cured Dutch ' s tooth without any other remedy, so we started back to the hotel. Well, we had hardly left TTo|)kins ' office before w e saw two officers l)ulling ' along a well dressed lady who was screaming at the top of her voice. We couldn ' t see her face, but we learned that she was the lead- ing suffragette of Cliicago, Miss Justine Fiegel; and she had just suc- ceeded in smashing in forty-three show windows valued at $5,000. Our next stop was St. Louis, and that night we went around to a big socialist meeting. The first speaker was a stranger but the next one wdio stepped out on the platform was Mr. Eugene Triay. His speech was a howding success. We left for Denver, Colorado, the next day at noon. AVhile on the train we met Annie Alleman with her four children. She was on her way to Salt Lake C-ity at which place she was to meet her husband wdio was traveling with Eingling Brothers ' Circus. After reaching Denver we were told that court was in session, so we stepped around to hear the outcome of some of the cases. Now being surprised so much on our tour, we merely gave a slight start when Ave saw Alex Swoi ' ds on the stand. He was a1)out to l)e pinched for exceeding the speed limit and running over Policeman Kicaud, who thinking he was a jitney, tried to flag him down. We ]jaid his fine, and lie took us for a spin over the city, and as it w as nearly twelve w e went around to the famous French Cafe, which was owned and operated ])y Miss Jeanne Comeaux, of Youngsville, Louisiaiui. The gumbo was first rate, and Jeanne told us slie had just received six carloads of garlic from Cyril Grouchy ' s garlic fai-ni near Franklin, Louisiana. next IouikI oiirscKcs in S;iii l ' i-aiicisc.o, aii l wliili tlicrc vc met LoiiiHo Allciiiaii, a maid of lliirty now, sclliiiii: pamphlets on ' I ' lic IJais- inj ' of Healthy l)al)i( ' s. Dutsch and I bought one for luck, and wisli- ini lier success we took the DeLuxe for Louisiana. We stoi)i)ed a few days at Vinton, La., with tlie idea of speculating in s(mie oil land, and while there we learned that Henry Siadous was workin,i for the ( nnberland Telephone Co., digging post holes between Vinton and a new oil field. AVe arrived in New Orleans a few days later and as it w as late at night when we reached the city, we dropped in a short-order restaurant and w ere served colfee by Mr. Walter Williams, who was cliief waiter, and a dandy one too. Walter told us that Flossie Adams had been disa])point d in some love atfair and that she was about to bid farewell to the worlA to enter a convent. Poor Flossie! On picking up a two-day old paper I was somewhat surprised at the larg(- head lines, which read something like this, National Bank Robbed. Further on it told of the twelve hour hunt of the now fa- mous detective, Mr. Edward Steidtmann, who had captured the crooks after a hard fight. These crooks were none other than our friends AVilmot Dalferes, known in the underworld as Slippery Dal and Clay Thomas, alias Little Tom. Now we all thought Dalferes would be rich some day, but we supposed he would be a politician instead of a safe teaser. On our way back to New York, we sto])y)ed over a few days in Rich- mond, Virginia, and upon looking through the city directory, we found that Miss Elisaljeth Denbo was President of the American Chewing Gum Company. AVHO ' S WHO IN THE SENIOR CLASS. I. There is a boy in our class, Tlie rest of us could ne ' er suri)ass, For from the first he g ' rew so tall, He was five feet wlien he l)egan to crawl. Now you can tell as well as not. The person referred to is Wallie Scott. II. The smartest girl in our class, Altho ' big in brains is a wee bit of a lass. First, Avogadro ' s Hyi)othesis she wanted to know, Before she thought she deserved to grow. Of course, dear reader, you ' ve already guessed. That it is with Jeanne, our class is blessed. III. The busiest person in our class. Into whose head various plans will mass. Scheming and planning to issue this book. And come out on top by hook or hy crook. His bed, poor fellow, is one of briar, You all know the boy — Eugene Triay. IV. The prettiest blond in our class. With beauty and charms, of fashion the glass, Not only in looks loes she far excel. But her common sense will our attention compel. To whom I refer — of course you know, A¥ho else could it be but Bess Denbof y. ' I ' lic i;r( ' ;il( ' sl ornloi ' in our clnss, lias displayed his chxiucncc in s()umrni, ;- brass, Ju an ar.niiincnt lie can ' t he beat, V )y lie simply will not accept defeat; In a battle of words lie takes ii.i-eat deli. lit ; ' i ' ootie ' s ever ready for a verbal fij lit. VI. Another boy in our class, lias never been known to love a lass. As an orator he possesses a silver ton.n ' uiN His audience breathless on his words has liuni; ' His name could be used to whittle boards, For he is known, you see, as Alex Hwords. VII. About the iuietest girl in our class, Who never was heard her elders to sass, In mathenuitics she always shone. Could figure cube root and area of cone, And always took things as they came ; I suppose you know that Annie ' s her name. A III. A girl who stars in our class. At her name, of course, you ' ll make a pass. She studies hard and comes prepared. To hear the trutlis of knowledge bai-ed, To this girl belongs much credit, Justine Fiegel — there I said it. IX. There is a boy in our class, If he doesn ' t understand won ' t let pass A problem in Algebra, Analytics, or Trig ; For time or tide lie cares not a fig. At first if the problem he fails to see, Frenchy says, Mr. Carnes, you ' ll have to show me. X. Aiiotlicr iiiciiiher of our class, Who always studies till she ' s i Teeu as grass, Has never been kuown to fret at work, Never a duty does she shirk, This fair maid of raven hair. Her name ? — ask Triay — if you dare. XI. A disting-uished member of our class, Learning he jumps at, as at the hook, a bass. You ' d say he is large and rather tall, But he studies so hard, he ' s nearly bald; His name would make an ally run. For it ' s German you know — Ed. Steidtmann. XII. There ' s another blond in our class. To whom 1 can ' t do justice, Alas ! She ' s always attei tive to what you say. According to Thonias, she ' s a winning way, I ' 11 tell you her name if you want to know. This fair maid is — Georgie Ricaud. XIII. We have an athlete in ou r class. Whom at shooting goals, few surpass. And he ' s just as skilled in con(iuering hearts. In the shade he puts Cupid with all his darts, Now this lad who so loves to dally. Is no one else but old King Tally. XIV. About the oldest girl in our class. There, don ' t flare up — hear me out my lass, Oldest I said and oldest ' tis true. Oldest in wisdom — We envy you. (Concerning your age you tlunight I spoke. But now you see, Flossie, ' twas only a joke. XV. All! tlioro is anotlior in our class, The boy who j ets thci ' c throu ijli liis I)i-ass.

The pioneers of our class are Elsie McConnell and Fannie Ewing, and the late comei-s are Bency Eaves, Elsie Taylor, Laura Belle Copes, Flo Dunham, Eimes Decoux, Marie Leiande, Mattie Clark and i ertha Lyies. There is still one other who will graduate in January 1917, Helen Funk. All these, both early and late comers, are the best prod- ucts of the high schools of the state. It has been a process of the survival of the fittest, but as all of us have survived, it can readily be seen that our class is composed of the best material of the state, and is one of the choicest blossoms that has bloomed in the intellectual gardens of S. L. I. I. While our class has no football, or basketball girls, we have not dispensed with athletics entirely, as anyone frequenting the tennis courts can testify. The floors of the cooking and sewing laboratories have been pol- ished so industriously and well that we are thankful to leave the field with our valuable l)ones unbroken, altho Mrs. Miller, Bency and Elise have tested them to their satisfaction. One thing that should always redound to the credit, and high- minded spirit of the Class of ' 16 is that we always obey orders — (when convenient) — When a fire alarm is given, we are always first upon the scene, and we return with — (de) merit. It is with a feeling of half pleasure and half regret that we leave you, l eloved S. L. I. 1. We go out into the cold and unfeeling world, but there will ever be a warm spot in our hardened hearts, that will respond to the touch of our Alma Mater. HOME Ee ' ONOMlC ' S CLxVSS PROPHECY. INCE my earliest childhood I have been a dreamer, a day dreamer, and those dreams have soared so high, have been so visionary, so unreal, that my life has been spent up in the clouds unmarred by the cares and strifes of this world. !So vivid lo these dreams appear that at times I wonder if they are not really true and this real life of ours the dreams. One beautiful day in June in the year 1925 I was sitting on the South veranda of my beautiful country home, day dreaming as usual. The sun was slowly sinking in the west and as I involuntarily li ted my eyes in that direction the wondroas beauty of the scene disturbed my dreaming. This was only for a moment however for soon the world was lost to me and 1 was sailiiig on the beautiful blue ocean pictured in the sunset. As my journey progressed I came to a country of marvelous beauty. Beyond the gray-black hills there lay a purple cloud that mimicked the empty space that stretched along and beyond the hori- zon. But above the cloud, unreal in its isolation and its transcendent beauty, rose the solemn, snowy stillness of Mont Blanc. It was like a vision of the new Jerusalem, like the dazzle of walls of Jasper, like a glimpse of another world, radiant, perfect, eternal. As I stood en- tranced by the beauty of the scene I heard a silvery ripple of laughter float from the hills back of me. I turned and saw two ladies coming slowly down the hillside. They seemed to be very happy and very interested in each other. CHii ' iosity got the best of me and I found myself watching them closely. As they drew near their graceful walk and the motions they made with their hands while talking, together with the laugh, brought back tender memories to me. By this time they had drawn ([uite near and I heard one young lady say, But you have only been here two weeks, surely Manuel would consent to stay at least two weeks longer. There was no mistaking that voice and with open arms I ran to meet Elmes and Laura. They were as glad to see me as I was to see tliem and after exchanging greetings I asked what they were doing in Switzerland. Elmes did not stop to answer but took my hand and led me to a beautiful spot and showed me the landscape she had just finished painting. After a great deal of coaxing Laura told me she had married a prominent physician of New Orleans a montli ago and on their honeymoon they had stopped to visit Elmes whose fame as an artist was rapidly becoming known throughout the civilized world. Klines insisted that I ronniin with hor that tii ht and f o to hear Ihc renowned so|)rano llosalie I5ehr, who was to sin ' at the Orphenni. We arrived at tlie theatre just in time for the fii ' st perfoi ' niance. As the curtain roUed up out tripped a little lady, siniliiiM ' and nodding ' to the applause of the audience. Could it he true or were my eyes deceiv- ini ' me, I ' or the renowned soprano was no other than my old classmate, Bertha Lyles. We arranged to speak to her after the program and learned that she had heeu traveling all over Europe for the last two years. She asked me if I had seen Marie and when I told her I had not, she said that Marie liad never outgrown her love for dancing and was now a charming dancer, as well as a leader, in Parisian society. Bertha, Elmes, Laura and I talked (luite a while ahout things which had ha])i)ened since we left each other at S. L. I. I., but time and tide waits for no man, so at last each had to bid the other farewell and go her way. During my journey I saw many wonderful places, peoples, and things that I had never seen before but everything was not pros- perity, for soon I came to the devasted country of Belgium. Since I had read so much about the condition of Belgium during the war 1 de- cided to spend a week in Brussels. The second day of my sojourn there I visited the hospital where great numbers of wounded soldiers were still residing. As I entered the largest hospital there, 1 noticed a tall, slender nurse coming from an outer room. As I did not know where to go or what to do, I thought I would overtake her and ask for information. When I reached her side and started to speak, she turned her head, and with an exclamation of surprise and joy, Mattie and I stood face to face. After she had taken me through the various apartments of the hospital we bade each other good-bye. Later I found out that Mattie had donated twenty tlior:Sand dollars to help build the hospital in which she was the head nurse. My visit in Belgium was at an end and I soon found myself in the great city of London. After registering at a hotel I retired to my room where I was drowsily glancing through a morning newspaper when T saw these words in big headlines, A New Invention. Flo Dunham, professor of Bacteriology in Oxford University, has recently invented a more accurate titrator with which there is no danger of more than one drop of a solution escaping at a time. I was scarcely over the shock of reading of Flo as a Bacteriologist when the ' phone rang. Wondering who it could be I took up the receiver and to my astonish- ment Helen Funk ' s clear voice sounded in my ear. She told me of how she had heard of ray arrival in London and that she had rung up to tell me to come to the demonstration she would give that morning at nine o ' clock. Upon entering into conversation she told nie tiiat she had heen employed hy the International Packing Association as a demon- strator of meats tor the past year and was having great success. Flo, Helen and I were enjoying ourselves immensely when I re- ceived a letter stating that husiness at home needed my attention. I left London the next day, deciding to return home by way of tiie Panama Canal as 1 had often wished to see this wonderful work of man. 1 therefore planned to nuike San Francisco my landing place. W hen the shore was reached I started pushing my way through the crowd to catch a car when my attention was attracted by a small, girlish face near me. There seemed to be something familiar about the child and J looked up at its mother, who was much taller than I, and I recognized Faniue Ewing. She seemed occupied with the child and had not noticed me. She was very glad to see me and told me she was there to meet her, sister, and insisted that I go home with them. When her sister arrived Fannie, who was now Mrs. Silberberg, led us to a magnificent car and we rode far from the din of the city to a beautiful little bunga- low situated in the midst of groves of orange trees. Her husband was a prosperous merchant of San Francisco. After supper Mr. and Mrs. Silberberg took me for a spin in their car around the city. As we passed houses and buildings of various sizes and t T es we noticed a large crowd of people in front of a beautiful stone structure. We stopped to see what was drawing the crowd and were informed that Mrs. Williams, the noted suffragist, was giving a lecture on Woman ' s liiglits. We finally pushed our way through the crowd and got in- side so we could hear. The speaker ' s voice rang out in clear and even tones. The audience listened with increasing interest to her vehement words and when she uttered the last phrase the building resounded with the hearty applause. As we were getting back in the car who should we see but the lecturer comng toward us and a tall, handsome man fol- lowing her. Fannie said, Elise, that lady is coming over here, and in the next instant Elise and Walter were talking to us. Fannie in- vited them to join us in our ride and while taking in San Francisco, Elise told us how she became a lecturer on Suffrage and how ardently AValter, now her husband, had sanctioned this movement. After a de- lightful tour of the city we took Elise and Walter to their home. That nig ns I sat at Mrs. Sliberberg ' s playing the piano in a drowsy fashion someone jerked me violently by the shoulder and said, Elsie Taylor, will you ever stop dreaming! It is time we were dress- in.ii, ' I ' oi- (limicr. Ak tlic last cdn ' c of the sun sank slowly itcyond the lioiizon ni ' vision faded and I heard a voice callinf ' , All ri lit !

I ency and I were still enjoyin single l)lessedness and were living; ' to etlier, in the summer in our magnificent country home in Cloudcroft, N.

Tt would he well for us to review the various studies given by the department of agriculture at S. L. I. 1. The departments are as follows: The Horticultural, Feeds and Feeding, Farm Crops, Soils and Fertilizers and Aninuil Industry. With a thorough training given in these studies almost any nuin who is graduated from this department is able to go out into the world and figlit the battle of life with a good knowledge of liis w ork. Just lately has the agricultural boom hit this country and not only men who intend to he fanners are taking this work, but professional men are studying it as a side line. No more do we hear the call to the city; it is now the call to the country because the people in the city as a rule are getting poorer. Louisiana has never had a greater opportunity than she is having now, for the South is the place for the industrious man and his family and with the agricultural possibilities of Louisiana there is no reason in the world why our state should not succeed. I mention this only to show you the possibilities there are for the young man who is attending a school like S. L. I. I. There is not a school in the State of Louisiana that is giving the practical work in ag- ricult ire that this school is giving; and I dare say that we are not very far behind any University in the South in our line of work and second to none in any school of our class. We are in a position to do a great deal of good for our community, but the first thing we must do is to educate the people away from the one crop problem of cane and cotton. We should diversify by raising for instance, pure bred hogs and graded dairy herds, but we must not let the crops go all together. A great many farmers are still skeptical but they are being educated to the fact that this school is behind them and is willing to do its share. STENOGRAPHY. Colors: PiupU ' and White.

Although some were unfor tunate and fell by the wayside, we are 10 who are prepared or the Business World. Our foremost intention was to be the best and most efficient class of Stenographers that S. L. I. 1. had ever produced, and to be of some use to the Business World of today. I feel safe in saying that our in- tentions have been fulfilled, and that we are ready for the Battle of lafe. To the Junior Class, we wish to express our appreciation of having had them with us, and we wish them luck and prosperity in the remain- ing part of their course. We also urge them to use every minute of their time as they have a long furrow to plow in a short time. We also hate to leave S. L.

' ' HE introduction of the two years ' teachers course brought many candidates to S. L. I. I. With the exception of one, all members of this class belong to the fair sex, although we are of various types, sizes and disposition. Since our advent last summer we have gained much valuable infor- mation concerning instincts and capacities, logarithims, and former methods of teaching. Our chief aim now is to learn how to instruct, and also to gain knowledge of political economy. But do not think gen- tle reader that these are our only branches of study, for we are slowly but surely improving in art and in our method of taking gym as well as in our other subjects. Six members of the cla s have distinguished themselves by mak- ing the Varsity ball teams, in fact our only boy won an S and sweater in football. We are .justly proud of our athletic members for we have learned that the vigorous man or woman is a clear thinker. The ambition of all people, especially teachers, should be to think clearly and as we are no exception to this general rule, such is our aim. JUNIOR HOME ECU)N()MT(; ' S CLASS, 1917.

When the Sophomore class entered S. L. I. 1. we were unlike most Freshies, being sliglitly timid and possessing an uneasy air. We stood in deep awe of Doc and Miss Dupre. We regarded Mr. Carnes as our Delphic Oracle and sought encouragement from him in times of great distress. How hard it is to write history! No one likes to read it, but there are some things that we like to remember, especially interesting stories concerning our old classmates. Quite a numlier of them showed marked proficiency in the literary field while others found their sphere in Matliematics, Latin or Atldetics. No one seemed to 1)e (piite so gifted in any one subject as Thomas Buchanan has proved himself to be in French. This shoM ' s that the love for the subject coml)ine(l with dili- gent study can accomplish much ! After two years of real work, the class claims the title of Honor- able Sophs, most of our class having climbed the steep hill together, even carrying along Krum Guilbeau who is noted for his inertia and timidity. After starting Chemistry, we are ])eginning to realize that there is a mere possibility of our really becoming of some importance in the dim future. We find Mr. Mac very interesting.. In order to helj) us to understand terms he l)ecomes very graphic, such as defining the li- brarian as a Catalyzer which is a substance that does no work itself, but its presence keeps the others busy. Not only has our class shown great ability in mastering text books but they have also mastered Spalding rules. We have been well repre- sented in track, baseball, liasketball, football, and tennis, even contrib- uting several members of the fairer sex to basketball and tennis. The Sophs are well represented in the two Literary Societies and have shown a great deal of interest and enthusiasm in them. We try to do our part with a good will hoping that we will reap such results as will prove beneficial in the future. Of course all classes have misfortunes and failures but as a whole the members of our class feel that we have accomplished much in the time spent at S. L. I. 1. We not only owe much to our capable teachers but also to our faithful classmates, who have shown brotherly spirit and have proved loyal to Southwestern. SOPHOMORE CLASS, JANUARY, Vm.

OW proud we all were on that eventful day, January 24, 1914, when we heard our names read out in the Old High School auditorium as being eligible to enter 8. L, I. I. Proud, you ask! Had not that been our dream as far back as we could remember! Of course everybody out here called us Freshies and sprang the same old jokes they always do, but we bore it as ])ravely as could be expected. There were sixteen of us and it didn ' t take us so very long to get acquainted. We nearly all passed at the end of the first term. Others came in from other schools and altogether we formed a very large class. We hardly know what really happened to us next, but although we were promoted at the end of the fourth term, the standard was raised and to our surprise we found ourselves Freshmen again. If you listen you can hear somebody say, I would have graduated the term after the next following the next if they hadn ' t raised the standard. Nevertheless our class seems always to have been honored. Some of our members will be conducting orchestras, some will be football stars, some cooks, others professors; maybe there ' ll be a doctor or two, and perhaps a minister. There are now only eight of the original members in our class who entered in 1914 and we earnestly hope to graduate by the end of the next decade. SUB-FRESHMAN CLASS, MAY, 1920. OFFICERS.

Colors : Green and White. Motto : Vincemus. HE Avatar Literary Society was organized in the year 1902, one year after the organization of our sister society, the Attakapas. The word Avatar, from Hindu Mythology, means the incarnation of a spirit in some material form. In the first year of the society history, the Julian Mouton gold medal was offered for the best individual debate from either society in the annual debating contest. We are sorry to say that this medal has been awarded to the Attakapas a greater number of times than to he Avatars. During the session of 1914-15 the Dnpre Shield was offered, by Miss Edith Garland Dupre, to that Society winning the greater number of debates during the session. The shield was won by our worthy society. The object of the society is the promotion of literary talent in the school. A great interest has been shown in Literary work this term, and the competitive spirit manifested between the two societies has been of a nature to promote intelligence and culture among students. Three times a month there is a joint meeting of the Avatar and Attakapas Societies, and at each meeting the program is very interest- ing. This session the subjects debated have been those subjects which have come up in the National Government and are of interest to everyone. I ATTAKAPAS SOCIETY. Colors: Black and (Jold.

I ji N llic hc.niiiniii.i;- of lliiiii s, wliicli was so lon aj?o that if any y W one i-ciiuMiihcrs, slic won ' t n hnit it, tlie Attakapas was the 1 only society, and was composed of boys and j irls, as it is ' ' now. Those were the good old days, wlien Fred Voorliies was PresicU ' iit, and ruled with a rod of iron. Though tliose days are gone, we are (piite sure tliat these (hiys, with Tom Dutsch as President, are just as good. Then it came to pass tluit there was a revolution, or a civil war, or something, and the Avatars came into being. For a time, things ran smoothly enough, then (perhaps there was another revolution) it was decided to make the Attakapas a society exclusively for l)oys, and the Avatar for girls. This plan didn ' t work very well though, and soon (1 suppose there was a third revolution) it was decided to let the membership be mixed again, as it has been ever since. Now the name Attakapas comes from a tribe of Indians who once inhabited all this part of Louisiana, and the eastern part of Texas. Some settlers found these Indians very friendly, but, on the other hand, others charged them with cannibalism. In fact, the very name Atta- kapas, in the Choctaw dialect means man eats, so perhaps that is why, in the beginning, our society had such a warlike time; it was a reincarnation of the old man-eating Indian spirit. Now, however, we think that we have out grown any traits belong- ing to these ancestors of ours, nine of whom are supposed to be liv- ing today, the last of the tribe. For sixteen years we have continued to be the more important so- ciety of the two. Aren ' t our debaters the wittiest, our students the most literary, and our crooks the slickest in the school! Haven ' t we a sanatorium right next to Mr. Woodson ' s, which bears our name, and where we send all the poor innocents who have nervous breakdowns, because of having such heavy credits, or because of Latin exams ? The Avatars have nothing like this, and any but they, would admit that we were the more powerful, but, unfortunately, they are the only p ' ople who care whether we are powerful or not. A ' ( ' not only jirc tlic best now, we not only hnxv l)e( ' n the best i.t the past, l)nt we sliall continnc to be so. For the past fourteen years, be- fore which time botli you and the societies were too youn 2 to know any- thing about debating, Judge Julian Mouton has offered a medal to the hoy or girl of either society who has the best debate, and we not only want to win it this year, but the Dupre Shiekl, besides. If we do, and if we keep on (h)iug it, by and by we will succeed in proving our worth even to those pessimistic friendly enemies of ours, the Avatars. I Bramatir (Elitb OFFICERS. President Edward Steidtiuami Vico-Presideiit Curtis Vidrine Secretary Margaret Lyles Treasurer Wilmot Dalferes Stage Manager Mabel Poclie tJIiP l B anJt iouitta nf t t (Club ■] TIE greatest play of the season A Likely Story, was at last staged on January 8th, in Southwestern ' s spacious auditorium. The whole affair was a great success, and no one who witnessed the play that night would ever have dreamed of the many tragedies that occurred during the numerous re- liearsals. First, Rutli Camp thought that the part of maid was entirely too tow for her station and rank, so straightway resigned. This left a vacancy. Williemel thought of taking the part, but this was as far as she got. After the loss of Ruth and the never-had Williemel, another one of the noted actors, Curtis A ' idrine, resigned. Curtis preferred being in the audience instead of on the stage. The next catastrophe was the withdrawal of Richard Helmer who had taken part. His services were needed on the Football Team, which of course, was more important than the Dramatic Club with its many ups and downs. The next young man to attempt this same part was Clay Thomas. He stayed in a short while, but very soon followed the way of his pre- decessors. The brave hero who finally saved the day was Tom Dutsch. How relieved we were when we found out that some one had come in to stay. Once more we began rehearsing with brighter prospects ahead. Forbes Robertson (Tommy Gilbeau) who had the kindness to give rs his ser- vices for the evening proved very valuable, though he did vex the actresses on several occasions — especially when he forgot to ring for Jane at the right time. As for Maud Adams (Pattic Cartel-) who playccl llic pMi ' t of Mrs. Campbell, she had the tendency to faint eiitii-el ' loo ol ' tcn, and kept the whole personae dramatis busy trying to revive her. Miss Rice and Miss Greenway seemed very giddy that night, but Avho could help being so when Forlx ' s Robertson would nuike, after every speech of theirs, some remarks like these, () you are doing fine; Don ' t say so? Now isn ' t that awful; O, how dramatic. Yes it was rather dramatic ! The last but not the least tragedy must be added here. This was indeed sad for those taking part. The trouyje knew that when the play ended the delicacies which were left over would be enjoyed by them. After the last curtain fell what was their disappointment to learn that there were no left-overs to be foun(L After careful investigation it was discovered that a persona non grata, not taking part but acting as stage manager, had spied the goodies and had made himself at home. In spite of these mishaps we are not disheartened, for these things afford a great deal of pleasure after they are past, and so with smiles we are able to look back upon the dreadful calamities that often be- fall our Dramatic Club.

Several of the men and women of Lafayette have volunteered to speak to the association on Sunday afternoons. We hope that this association will grow in enthusiasm and good works, making the religious element felt among the whole student body. I . .j l HE sun was lazily resting on the lower extremity of the Western horizon as it sent its slanting rays down upon a |Vr (u-o V(l of husky lads, who from their attire l)elied the fact 1 i 1 1 t hat they were college chaps. Nevertheless they were, and as tlie smoke rolled from their peaceful ohl pipes as they enjoyed a sociable smoke together after having faithfully attended to the wants of the hogs placed in their charge, some inventive genius of the crowd proposed we ' d play Ohl Sow. No sooner said tlian done. Now Old Sow may seem to a lot of people a very common game and the reason for this is that so many people do not know the science and art tliis game recpiires. It recjuires no little skill to make the old sow drink, for as you know the old saying goes You can lead a horse to water l)i;t you can ' t make him drink. So it is with the old sow. The old sow is a tin can, and a hole in the ground the proposed drink- ing trough. The players range about and endeavor to keep it as far away from the trough as possil)le, changing positions with one another wliicli adds lo (lie t rials ol ' llic )oor old rdlow w lio is t rying ' to get liis I ' ainisliiii.i; ' sow to watci ' .

And conse(iuently Tom wouhl awake to the realization that Co- uu aux had stealthily changed ])ositions and with malice aforethought had once more sent him flying behind his fast retreating thirsty and disheartened old sow amid the jeers and taunts of the crowd. The lazy old si n had disappeared now and the cool November breeze brought us to a realization that it was getting late. Tom gave up but not in desi)air. It was a case of postponement to another day, so we lighted our pipes and satisfied with the old world and all that ' s in it we bade our charges good day and leisurely strolled across the campus to our rooms and respective homes in town, but ever and anon do we indulge in ' ' Old Sow. ' ' It ' s interesting and inspiring and furthermore it takes you back to fond recollections of kid days. Try it and see if you don ' t give Old Sow the blue ribbon. tog ( Alias Sour Mmt) VERY evening at tlie close of school, a weary band of Pil- grims gather behind the Arts and Crafts building, better known as J)e Shop. They are the ones who have volun- teered to help smooth the cinder path around the wireless l ole. You ask why they do not use a steam roller. The reason is this : The boys will have more endearing recollections of the school and the faculty after they graduate if they unselfishly give forty minutes of their time every few days, in making small cinders out of large ones via the pedestrian method. Petite Pierre is the Big Chief of the Ring, alias Tour Beat, and is a terror to all who are lazy and refuse to trot off as many miles as he thinks they should. He is increasing the efficiency of the tourists, and expects to provide each one with a pedometer next year so as to keep accurate records to use in the book he is writing entitled, Why the Boy Student Wears Out so Many Shoes. If all the energy spent in the endless walk around the wireless pole was devoted to the raising of corn on Mr. Lee ' s farm, he could raise hogs that would dig the Panama Canal in two roots, or he could feed it to his famous Arabian steed, Jerusalem, who would then be able to kick the spots off the moon. 5Ftrp IrigaJip Allen Morris, Captain Clarence Thompson William Richard Pierre Hernandez Clyde Hughes Laurent Savoie Emile Drouet Joe Drouet Floyd Hawkins Qltje Jflllu (Urn Motto: To avoid doing ' today what can be done tomorrow..

C i h of Southwestern is what might be termed a select organization, for its members must have qualifica- tions simihir those of Ananias or Baron Von Munchausen. It is not known who first thought of organizing the club, since none of the members wish to assume the responsibility, but the object of the organization is to have a good time and to pave the way for the new science, Bunkology. With this end in view, Tootie Dalferes, the great hot air artist, was appointed Most Exalted Slinger. Jo Bro Doucet, who is almost as strong in that line, was chosen as Relief Slinger. St. Charles Triay, being very much in love, was given the ' office of Keeper of Royal Records, a very easy task, since there are no records. Anhauser Steidtmann, l)ecause of his large capacity, was given the position of C hief Can Rusher , and is the hardest worked member of the club. Francois Maraist was placed in charge of the steam shovel, and finds it almost impossible to keep up steam unless at least half the members are out of town. Czar Nicholas Vidrine, the Janitor, holds a unique position, for the constitution states that the Janitor .shall constitute a (luoruin. Beeron Von Schoeler, because of his distinguished name, was selected as Guardian of the Grub. Te Poule Bienvenue, the St. Martin chicken lover, was given the title of Chief Roost Reliever. With this promising talent the club began its career in 1915, and perhaps the crowning event among all its midnight orgies, was the initiation of Pat, the only man who was not a charter member. There was a great discussion also to the coming science, and it was proved conclusively that Bunkology must be added to the curriculum here in the near future, and the meml)ers agreed to compile a text. At the opening of the 1916 term it was suggested that a few new members be taken in. A meeting was held in B Building, and Pe- terson, one of the prospective victims, was led forth to the slaughter, better known as the first degree. Tilings were not going exactly his way, so he left with considerable haste. There was some sprinting done that night, and Vidrine having on only his summer clothes was easily the winner.

The St. Charles outfit met on November 21, 1915, and organized the L. 0. F. The purpose of this organization was to devise a means of scaring off tramps, burglars, etc. Of course no one knows of the numerous pranks of the club, the dinners, parties, and mysterious ways of enjoyment. This being secretly a secret organization I can ' t give any more in- formation ; the only way to get it, is to become a member and that is a mental, moral and physical impossibility. J ISnntpra ' Club HE best definition I can find for College Spirit is summed lip in two words, Rooters ' Club; for if a school has any spirit at all it is bound to be in this l)ody. Not only on the athletic field did the loyal sons and daughters of their beloved school show their spirit, but it is instilled in their hearts in every activity. In unity there is strength and to have successful rooting as well as on the field, everyone has got to pull together. Take, for instance, the Ruston game last fall. Do you think the S. L. I. I. boys could have tied their stalwart rivals of the Ruston team, if it had not been for the loyal support of the rooters! Not only does rooting help to win a game, but it will put the ball a foot or so over the line, make it go into the basket and sail over the out- fielder ' s head, according to the kind of ball being played. Southwest- ern ' s Rooters ' Club is to be commended for its loyal support to the various athletic teams, and may this same spirit be instilled in the hearts of the future supporters of old S. L. I.

Guilboau, Moncla, Doxey Full back Hopkins (Capt.), Sills Y a score of 12 to 0, Southwestern defeated the crack foot- ball team of St. Charles College in the first game of the 19J5 season. This game, as all first games of the season do, displayed the weak points in our machine which were ably corrected by Coach Dunbar and the hard training and determina- tion of the players. One week later, Oct. 9th, we played the strong team of Tulane University, at the Tulane Stadium. As will be remembered by all the loyal followers of the team, they were held to a 18-0 score (15 min. (juai ' ters). Tulane earned her two touchdowns in the second quarter by a series of shift plays, which for the time being, clearly outwitted the inexperienced men on Southwestern ' s line. In the last half, strengthened by Coach Dunbar ' s bawling out, Southwestern ' s line- men succeeded in breaking thru Tulane ' s shift formation, and repeated- ly nailed the backs behind the line. So determined were the South- western players, that Tulane made first down only three times dur- ing the entire latter half. The Saturday following, Oct. 16, Soathwestern defeated the L. S. U. Reserves in a spirited game at the Parish Fair Grounds, by a score of 7 to 0. The Reserve played a purely defensive game from start to finish and only the splendid kicking of Flannagan, an old Colgate star, prevented Southwestern from piling up a larger score. Southwestern had scheduled a game on Oct. 23rd with Centenary College, but on account of Centenary not turning out a 1915 team, ( ' liamberlain-Hunt Academy of Mississippi was played instead. This gaine, wliicli ended in ;i victoi ' V of 25-0, sliowcd the rcsnlts of weeks of rigid training and practice, by the excellent team work displayed by S. L. I. I. ' s s(iuad. On the 30th of October, we again played the St. Charles eleven, in op.e of the most exciting and hotly contested games of the season. St. Charles won the toss and after five mimites of play, by a bril- liantly executed forward pass, scoretl the first touchdown of the game. This seemed to put fight and pep into Southwestern, and upon re- ceiving the kick off she nuirclied down the field at a steady pace for her first touchdown. This was repeated three times during the game, which ended in a victory of for Southwestern. l he next game was played in Pineville with Louisiana College. Although Louisiana C ollege put up a game fight, it was evident from the very start that they could not handle our line nor stop the terrific smashing of our backs. The game ended with a score of 47-0. Saturday, November 3rd, Southwestern engaged in one of the fastest and most exciting games of football ever witnessed on S. L. I. I. Gridiron with the Louisiana Industrial Institute of Ruston, La. The odds were decidedly in favor of the Upstaters, who out-weighed us ten pounds to the man. Nevertheless, as was proven by the score of 7-7, v.e were clearly their match and perhaps a trifle better, for mishaps at critical moments kept us from farther scoring several times. Ruston received the kick on the ten yard line, ran it back ten yards, and with a succession of line bucks failed to nuike the required gain, so the ball was turned over to Southwestern on the forty-four yard line. South- western advanced the ball to the thirty yard line, where a drop kick was tried ])ut failed to score. Thus the ball went back and forth, until Barnes succeeded in crossing our goal line for Ruston ' s first and only touchdown. The second half, Southwestern received the ball on the fifteen yard line, which was run back eighteen yards. In the succeed- ing downs Southwestern failed to make the required 10 yards and the ball went over. Then Ruston failed to make first down. The game went on like this until the third ([uarter when Guilbeau, by a splendid skin tackle run, put the ball behind Ruston ' s goal posts. The rest of the game was spent in a stubborn struggle, with neither side ' s goal in any great danger. This game will ever be remembered by the mem- bers of the 1915 team, as one of the cleanest and most enjoyable games ever played. ( ontrary to the most authentic dope, Southwestern received her first defeat (in our class) of the season, in the annual Thanksgiving ganio with the Normal. After six minutes of play the Normal crossed oui- iXoi line. This, as it always does, seemed to put more fight and ])( lt into us, and we succeeded in keeping- them from further scoring, until tile last (juarter, when a Nornuil back recovered an off-side kick and ran down the field for the second and last touchdown. The game ended a few minutes later, with a score of 14-0, Normal ' s favor. To sum up the whole, this year ' s team can easily be said to be the best in the history of the school. It is true that the team of 1914, the best up to this year, did not lose a game, in its class, while this year ' s team lost one, but this is accounted for by the fact that teams as strong as were played this year were not played in 1914. Therefore we may justly lay claim to this distinction. Much credit is due Coach Danbar for his untiring efforts to make this a winning team, also to Mr. Mac and Frenchy Siadous, Fac- ulty and student managers respectively, for their foresight in provid- ing an easy, yet evenly matched schedule of games. With a majority of the old fellows back again next year, here ' s lioping that Lank Davidson, who succeeded Harvey Hopkins in the captaincy of the team will have as successful a season, if not more so, by getting Normal ' s goat, with his 1917 team.

U. who was held to a close score by other teams in our class, Capt. Daigie and Coach McNaspy never gave rp hopes and were more determined than ever to round out a winning team. They were well backed by the student body. In the game with the high schools later on we found that we had greatly improved, scoring over one hundred points in every game. The first game with colleges in our class was with Centenary College of Slireveport, and Ave found we had a pair of little guards in Fauntleroy and Vidriiic who ( ' (|ual any who havo ever i)iit on basketball iminuins for Old S. L. 1. 1. The center position was filled by Cai)t. l)ai,i le, who played excellent ball and always encourai ' ed his teammates by his hard work and his, We must not lose attitude. Too much cannot be said of Thomas, better known as Kini - Tally, who played left for- ward. He was always in the ame and nevei- missed a clumce to pass to his teannnates, or breark up the opponents plays. Let ' s not over- look Helmer who moved up from guard of last year ' s team to play the forward made vacant l)y Uordam. The white haired boy was fast and his eye fell on the basket and never missed a chance to score. The first game with Louisiana College in the Gymnasium was tied at the end of each half, both teams scoring 16 points in each period, but in the five minutes of overtime play, the fast college team made two goals from the field and won by a 36 to 32 score. The other games were ecjually interesting and were the fastest ever played by any S. L. I. L basket-ball team. Captain-elect Helmer will meet most of this year ' s team for the start next season and vi begin hard work for the College Champion- ship. The scores of games played are : OPPONENTS L. S. U. 47 L. S.

And to a Kresliie it was at)ont tlie l)est dreaiii evei I could iui- a.nine. I never had any special love I ' or the Cheinistry Lahoratoiy and llooni XI hut since the class comes at the ast two periods in the day it is some place to dream in, take it from me. Well, the other day L was sitting in the chemistry room listening to Mr. Mac lecture on some kind of element found in the amorphous form, and just about that time T had settled back conifor ' tably in my chair })repared to withstand the eighty minutes siege, when who should come along but old Morpheus himself! Well, I was just as hapi)y as George Bienvenu and Harvey Hop- kins, and the rest of that football bunch, or Curtis Vidrine after he has set a fellow down in Literary society for violating rule No. forty-six, page six, section two of Roberts ' Kules of Order. Anyway I was snoozing some, when suddenly I saw a cloud or something and in the center of it was a girl, and take it from me she was some a queen, a regular peach and all that sort of thing. She was coming riglit close to me too, and then she said, Freshie, can ' t you write something for L ' Acadien? On the level I thought she was trying to put one over on me, but before I had time to think, I said, ' ' Yes I ' II be tickled to death to do it, ' ' and tlien she grabbed my hands and I began to get afraid that she would do something rash, not that I would have minded it, but I did wish I was a little better looking. That didn ' t seem to make any dif- ference though, because she said Girls, this is our Freshie, and he is going to write for the annual and then looking up I saw every good looking girl on the staff trying to shake hands with me at once. Take it from this Freshie, he was some Bonnie Prince Charlie just then. About that time one of them said, Let ' s take the dear for a joy ride. Well, you know 1 never had the nerve to refuse the ladies, so we set out for Moss Pharmacy. I was sitting back in a big seven pas- senger car, with about a dozen girls trying to talk to me at once. We passed Tom Guilbeau and Walsh and a bunch of football men, but I just looked at them kind of contemptuous, and passed them with a cold stare, for they had never done anything worth while, like I w as doing and they didn ' t deserve any favors from me. Right then and there I decided that I would spend the rest of my life writing for L ' Acadien. And say, I forgot to tell yo i about those Co-eds ' eyes; well, there were blue eyes, and brown eyes, and hazel eyes and tango eyes and then some eyes. I bet if I eimet Pecot liad been there lie would have said some- thing about Drink to me only with tliine eyes, but Bennet was not there. When T had firmly decided that I must have at least reached the place ideal, 1 heard a rumbling ' and l)umi)inL!, ' and a])out that time one of the girls got out of the ear and began to adjust the wing-wang on the smoke grinder, and announced the fact that the carburetor was back- firing on the nmffler, and then one of the girls grabbed me by the she Ider and tried to get me out of the car. I woke up and found Mr. Mac shaking the breath out of me because the class was just getting ready to perform some dry experiments, and I had just been having such a nice dream. Edward Steidtmann. ' IN(J to some ti ' oublc with my [)ass( ' s, on ( liristiiias Eve iiii lit I found mysolt ' , instead of l)ein - at lioinc in ood old Louisiana, doomed to sj)end a whole long lonesome week, ill a little inland (lerman town, whose one hotel had heen closed, simply because there was no one to run it. Where I was to stay y)uzzled me, for there was evidently no such thing as a hoarding ho.is(i. Through the kindness of an old lady, I found acconnnodations in the home of people who had once heen in very comfortable circumstances, though they were now glad to get the few marks. ' charged for my board. It was dusk when I arrived, and the children were all waiting anx- iously for a closed door to open on a Christmas tree, bearing gifts from Kris Kringle. The mother, sad eyed and smiling, said little, though she spoke English very well, and I, German, but a rosy child of five grew very talkative. It ' s C hristnias Eve, he informed me, liis big eyes wide, and full of child wisdom. Is it? I could think of nothing else to say. Yes, and Kris Kringle has come. He left things in there, point- ing to the closed door. And do you expect much from liimf He looked at me quickly: Oh no! The Kaiser has given liira orders to take ' most everything to the soldiers. And will Kris Kringle obey the Kaiser! Why — why — of course! Everybody obeys the Kaiser! They have to, and the child seemed surprised at my ignorance. Why do they have to? ] could not understand a child talking in this way. Why because — they have to! ' ' Don ' t you want to obey him f ' ' Course! We love him. Don ' t you? I did not answer this, but asked another question: Why do you love him ? Because we do, was the reply. The child seemed more puzzled hy my questions. He is a good man. He loves us, and we must love him too. That ' s what Fritz says. Who is Fritz? It was the first me I had even heard the man s name, since I reached the town. The child was going to ans ver, but his mother, who had been listening, gave him a warning glance, and he luislied. After that I was silent imtil tlie door opened and disclosed a tree, well decorated, but with few, ()li! so pitifully few, presents. The children danced around it gleefully however, and a young man stepped into the candlelight. I had not seen him before and he surprised me. As the mother gave the children their presents I studied him closely; tall, slim, blonde, and such familiar features ! Where had 1 seen him before? Suddenly, 1 remembered! A hospital on the frontier. Red Cross nurses, and a young German with pneumonia, to be shot as a traitor, if he lived! Then, a bright face in the newspapers, and the story of his escape before fidly well. So this was the place of refuge, and this was Fritz! 1 looked at his face in wonder. It was so frank and boyish. Could he be the coward and traitor all the country called him! It seemed incredible, but ■ — . Suddenly there were footsteps on the gallery, and he looked quickly at his mother. The door opened and two burly policemen came in. Is Frederick Beck here! they asked. Yes, stepping into the light. You are wanted! I know, and he turned to the woman. Good-bye, little mother. Oh Fritz. Don ' t look like that little nu)ther. I am not a traitor, you know. Perhaps 1 can explain. Yes, but Fritz, on Cliristnuis Eve! And 1 thought we would be so happy! Hush mother! His voice grew husky. Tell — Gertrude — good-bye. It is for the Kaiser I must go, you know. ' ' Ah yes — for the Kaiser, she turned away. He left without another word. With her smile a little sweeter, and her eyes a little sadder, she made the children ' s (Hiristmas as pleasant as she could, while T gazed into the fire, and dreamed dreams.

Mr. Griffin — Stromer, what were some of the reasons why Columbus believed the earth was round ? Stromer — Well, one reason for his belief was, that as a little boy he used to go sit out on the wharf and watch the boats come in, and he always saw t ' le smoke stack before he did the rest of the steamboat. A few days after Mr. Lee had sold a pig to a farmer, he chanced to pass his place and saw the little son sitting on the fence, gazing at the new pig.

Mr. Agate — It would be like putting a roof on an empty barn. Last term Dr. Stephens came into our French class, to Miss Hebrard ' s discomfort.

One of the boys wrote the followiiif little poem to his father for the purpose of raising; funds: Send me some money just once in a while, Something ' to cheer me and call up a smile; Something- to indicate lasting; g-ood will, Something- to show you love me still. This was the father ' s answer. My dear son — With all your faults I love you still. Enclosed you will find a one dollar bill.
