Oh, Wesleyan, fain would we leave thy halls to-night — Fain would we go out into the world To paths that seem riot clear and bright As those we trod under the Hag unfurled, Than thy protecting love what can we find more true, More noble, more endearing through all years? That we may cherish thee and be true blue O Alma Mater, this be our ardent prayers — O girls, with whom we’ve toiled and worked and won — O classmates, comrades, faithful to the last. Let us arouse to action ! never duty shun ! “►Seize upon the day” and whilst through life we pass And dark the shadows loom upon our way, Never shall we a golden minute waste in idleness, nor bv delay Shall we sit mute, hut tread with quickened pace! L. B„ ’10. Senior Class Poem. “Carpe Diem.” Comrades, gather ’round me — T hea r a voice so low Speaking in accents gently, I hear, — but T do not know The form T see appearing Across the distant way — It rushes onward, ever nearing— It’s here ! — hut will not stay ! With fear, almost, I stretch my hand To stop its maddening rush — Too late ! Across the land It darts with just a brush Of flying garments on my face: The wind went rushing by. “Not one moment short, of grace, Or time to think,” T cry! “Stay!” In its flight I caught a whisper Whistling by my ear — “ ‘Carpe Diem!’ Hasten Sister!” Are the words I hear. This is all the spirit left me Hast’ning on its way; Yet its voice is ever near me Warning — “Seize the day!” So along the way of life. Rugged though it be — Tn the turmoil of the strife Strain your eyes to see This fast-flving, mighty spirit— Opportunity ; Seized, ’twill bring you joy and merit Through eternity. S. K.

' ' Come girls, let’s make our voices ring, For ol the Senior Class we sing. We sing again of heights attained, We sing ol victories we have gained ; And e’re we part, we ' ll add new jewels bright To those that glow in Wesleyan’s crown of light. Here’s to the Seniors, the class of 1910 — May she add new honors to old Wesleyan’s name. Wesleyan, Wesleyan, our alma mater grand — We’ll ever love thy classic walls, The noblest in the land. Wesleyan, Wesleyan, a toast, a toast to thee — We’ll take a cup, and drink it up And pledge our loyalty. The tide is flowing with the gale And soon from Wesleyan’s shores we’ll sail, The harbor bar we soon shall clear — Farewell, farewell to Wesleyan dear. When tempest tossed o’er billows of life’s sea Wesleyan then, our guiding star shall be. Here’s to old Wesleyan, and here’s to girls so true, Will you think of us when far away from you f Sailing, sailing over the sea of life And many a stormy wind shall blow — There’ll be a long-fouglit strife. Sailing, sailing, far away from you, But still our ardent love for thee Will evermore be true. L. A. S., ’10. fcAvox DttKtA.y ' Wko l«vt Hi tk . f is f x JJu l i, out sn .

When one undertakes to record the deeds ot the class of 1910, one maj may well exclaim : “Expect not, noble dames and lords, That 1 can tell such deeds in words; What skillful limner e’er would choose To paint the rainbow’s varying hues; Unless to mortal it were given To dip his brush in dyes of heaven?” Twenty-two girls differing in personal appearance, taste, views, ideas and ideals compose this class of 1910. When eight small girls, all enthusiasm over being at college, tripped gayly up to Wesleyan’s door and knocked timidly that bright September morn- ing in the year 1000, they were welcomed by a little girl, standing all alone, ready to take them by the hand and introduce them to “dreams come true; for the Prep, year at Wesleyan had made Ruth Parrish ready and anxious to roam the new fields commonly spoken of as “Verdant Freshman.” Ruth came to Wesleyan from Brooklet, (la., and though she has spent the best years of her life here, yet these five years from home have not sufficed to put within her a daring heart, for more often than any member of the class she succumbs to the terrors of homesickness. From September until May Ruth’s continuous wail is “show me the way to go home.” Among the many things that Ruth has taken since coming to Wesleyan, only two deserve men- tion — she took a diploma in music her Junior year, and the mumps in her Soph- omore year. “A daughter of the gods, divinely tall, and most divinely fair” is Susie May Greer of Oglethorpe, Ga., who came to Wesleyan with her mind fully made up that she would reflect honor and credit on her credentials. So she went to work at once and bore off the Freshman medal for high scholarship. In music, her ambitions are pinned quite as high as in literary pursuits, and accordingly in May a post-graduate diploma is to be awarded her. Susie May has a special fond- ness for professors, and she is able to boast of at least a half dozen whom she counts as her steadfast admirers. It must be their wisdom which attracts her. Octavia Elizabeth Bethea, of Dillon, S. C., has believed ever since she en- tered Wesleyan, four years ago, that the dignity of the class is hers as a sacred trust. Octavia often says that her heart was carried away either by a Senior of 1908 or by her room-mate last year. Perhaps this heartlessness accounts for her dignity. Be this as it may, she has had only one T. L., only one friend. Oc- tavia became Wordsworth-struck in her Junior year, and in her frenzy wrote for The Wesleyan: “Oh, to be wafted away, From this black vale of sorrow; Where the dust of an earthy to-day, Makes the dust of a dusty to-morrow.” Upon the poem being turned down by the Literary editors, Octavia, nothing daunted, took Myrtle Reid as her model, and turned her pen to the serious pro- duction of love stories. Since the advent of Nelle Furr, a little girl from Pontotoc, Miss, the class has been made fully acquainted with a Mr. Smith, whose name is now on every lip and breathes from many a sonnet. When love is mentioned, Nelle at once “sits up and takes notice;” and if any one seems prone to treat lightlv Such a subject, it is Nelle who opeus argument to convince the foolish of the error of her way. It is generally thougnt that she will be the first to march down the aisle to the strains of Mendelssohn s Vv edding March. The athlete of the class, .Blanche v aline Rucker, has struck terror to the heart of every basket-ball team since she bore oft ' the championship in the Fresh- man year. Blanche hails from Alpharetta, Ua., the laud ot wonders. She never tires of lauding “our little town.” Wnen she has exhausted encomiums con- cerning its past and its future, she adds as a crowning glory the fact that it is the county seat of Milton Comity, even if it is seven miles from the railroad, blanche is also interested in music, and with all her enthusiasm for athletics and for Alpharetta, (Ja., she had found time to devote to music, and so she will receive a music diploma in May. When the Conservatory Club was recently organized, Blanche was honored with the Presidency. Although little Agnes DuPre came to Wesleyan from Canton, Ca., with not the slightest idea of ever finishing the course, she decided after coming back Sophomore year to work for a “dip,” and she has kept her resolution, in stat- ure, Agnes is the smallest girl in the college, but she has a sidficient amount of independence to supply every member ot the class, and still have a good large portion left for her own use. Last summer, Agnes decided that there was m her soul the capabilities of a great prima donna, and so she has been training her voice since September. Not yet, however, has she seen fit to warble even to the admiring members of her own class. Possibly she is preparing to charm us at the Senior banquet — where all startling truths are disclosed. Susie Kathleen Kroner, of Winterville, is one of the jolliest girls in school ; appreciates a joke more than any member of the class, and always tries to evade questions in the class room by relating a joke. For months she has used Halley’s Comet as her refuge in Astronomy recitation. When Susie is happy she laughs “To let people know it ;” and when she is sad she laughs “So as not to show it.” Soon after she entered college, however, it was discovered that she had one noteworthy characteristic, and that is that boys have no charms for her. Especially has this been true since her J unior year, when she met a Mercer man. In order to have him spend just one hour in Wesleyan’s parlors every Sunday evening, she has encouraged him to take every course at Mercer. Susie is a poet, and her favorite line from the poets is “My love is like a red, red rose.” That Jessie Bradford Isaacs came from the High School in Macon to Wesleyan to stud)’ is an accepted truth, and although the adage reads: “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy,” Jessie is the exception that proves the rule, for she has continued to study while others played “and still the wonder grew, that one small head could carry all she knew.” Had the Trustees not abolished Senior Reader places .Jessie would have claimed one or two, but al- though this inducement to study has been removed, she studies. When the His- torian began to make research into Jessie’s past, one interesting fact was brought to light which explains why she has busied herself with books. From her youth up she has been betrothed to a Chicago boy, whom she has never seen, and so she is storing up knowledge, and with her getting, getting understand- ing, so that she may not disappoint the University man. Sara Lee Evans and Leonora Smith, two kindred spirits, both from At- lanta and boasting of the Atlanta spirit, are “Two souls with but a single thought, two hearts that beat as one.” Since their matriculation at Wesleyan they have rather separated themselves from the common minds. Leonora ran for class President and was elected through several terms, while Sara Lee was unanimously elected sponsor for the Confederate Veterans at the Reunion at Birmingham, which filled them so with pride that they have never been able to recover entirely. For months after Sara Lee matriculated she was so hedged about and followed by a string of ardent admirers, always at a distance, that her classmates scarcely had an opportunity of knowing her until her Senior year. Now that she is trying for an A.B. degree and a diploma in music, she finds that there is no time to devote to popularity or other frivolous matters. Leonora has very decided notions of her own on all subjects, and woe unto that one who tries to oppose them, for Leonora, convinced against her will — and it is always against her will — remains of the same opinion still. When Martha Wilkinson, of Barnesville, reached Wesleyan, she at once announced to her classmates that life is worth every bit of the fun and pleasure to be found in a college course, and that the class of 1910 must “get there’’ at whatever cost. She made a start immediately by keeping the entire class up all night before class day, so that 1910 colors migh t be placed on the highest pin- nacle. Whatever Martha goes at, she does with a will. As captain of the ’10 Basket-ball Team, she has wiped all the teams clear off the field. She has talked so well that in May the Faculty will award her a diploma in Expression. Elizabeth Lee Belk, commonly known as “The Belk Baby’’ or “Lee-Lee” or “Jack,” has no certain fixed place of residence, as her father is a Methodist Minister, but she is at present from Atlanta. Lee came down to take up her abode at Wesleyan while we were Freshmen, but the trouble and anxiety of car- ing for her “little sister Mary,” who was then a Junior, proved such a burden and such a strain to the child’s nerves, that it became necessary for her to re- main at home after Christmas. In September 1907, however, she returned to begin work as a Sophomore. Lee, with her dreamy eyes, has always been recog- nized as the imaginative genius of the class, and every day she startles the col- lege world with some vivid picture of her own creation. Just recently she penned these lines on “The Coming of Spring:” “ ’Tis midnight, and the setting sun Is slowly rising in the west; The rapid river slowly runs, The frog is on his downy nest; The pensive goat and sportive cow, Hilarious, lea]) from bough to bough.” This power of seeing visions marked her as class prophetess, and gave her the future as a vast domain through which she is privileged to roam, gathering therefrom what s to be “Ye fate of each ye Seniors.” Maude Lovett Phillips of Quitman, Ga., had never caused any great ex- citement until the night of the Soph.-Senior banquet, when she stepped forth more gorgeously arrayed than the “lilies of the field” or than “Solomon in all his glory.” At last, Maude had starred. The word starred is used advisedly in this connection, for she is an ardent student of Astronomy, but had never shown any special poetic genius until recently when Mr. Hinton had the Astronomy Class out on the campus with the telescope. Maude looked steadily at the heavens for a few seconds, and then, turning from the telescope said: “I am a Senior student, I, My star is gone from yonder sky, I think it went so high at first, That it just went and gone and burst.” Cornelia Graves Smith and Bess Brook Warren claim Macon as their home. The bane of Cornelia’s existence has been one great and mighty effort during her Senior year to gather heavy articles for The Wesleyan , and she wastes much precious time pleading with the Literary editors not to fill up the pages with silly love stories. Partiality has been shown Cornelia since she became a boarder; for just because she is a town girl “These Rules of Wes- leyan — which change not — were broken, that she might have a sewing machine in her room. Bessie Warren could never have been persuaded to leave Randolph- Macon had Cornelia not been at Wesleyan ; and Cornelia could never have been persuaded to take a regular course if Bess had not appeared on the scene. The Faculty will gladly give Cornelia a diploma in May, for she has succeeded in all her undertakings, even to coaxing Bess into one class meeting and getting her to attend the Soph-Senior banquet. Doubtless Cornelia would have found the task easier had Bess not feared that if she became too much interested in Wesleyan, she might have to give it a place in her heart with Randolph-Maeon. Bess and Cornelia add the flavor of immortal friendship to this history, as did David and Jonathan to Holy Writ, or Damon and Pythias to “the glory that was Greece.” Mattie May Tumlin has roamed here and there over the North Georgia Conference, but now is for a while at Hogansville, Ga. She decided once in the long ago to take up her abode at Wesleyan, but came resolved to carry away two “dips,” and 1910 marks the date of the consummation. If the year were marked by no other great event, and crowned by no other glory than this, yet would this year be glorious, for Mattie May, having long since lost count of the date of her first appearance on Wesleyan stages of action, has tried to gradu- ate with most of the classes since 1839. She joined us just because she thought we were the most promising class and because it offered another Junior prom. She is a strong advocate of the “germ” theory, and cultivated with success one fever germ which lias so often come between her and her “dips.” When any- one desires to know of some long past event, Mattie May is sought. Recently in discussing the date of the remodelling of the chapel, some one said that it was ten or twelve years ago: upon hearing this, Mattie May immediately replied, “Oh, no, it was finished the first year I came.” That Mattie May existed at the college for so many years without Rena Pittard of Winterville, Ga., is hard to believe, but it was a red letter day in Rena’s life when she decided to anchor at Wesleyan and work for a degree. Before joining us she had quite made uu her mind to shine as a social queen, so she went to a finishing school. The finishing process did not satisfy her soul, however, and she matriculated at Wesleyan with the determination to get an education. This earnestness of purpose broadened her vision until she saw “the fields white unto the harvest,” so she has become a student volunteer. The Young Women’s Christian Association offered itself as a training school for her life work, and most of her time and efforts have been spent in this chan- nel. From Hoschton, Ga., came Esther Hosch of Room 26 M. B. She has diligently pursued her studies since coming to Wesleyan, and has begun to think that it is almost time for her to get a “dip,” since she has been in college seven years and boasts of twenty-nine different room-mates. Long ago Esther decided that “haste makes waste” and accordingly she takes her own time in reporting to chapel, to classes and to meals, usually wandering in some time during the period as though the whole day were hers. After due consideration Esther has adopted as a motto : “T care for nobody, no, not T, If nobody cares for me: I walk with myself, and 1 talk with myself, For myself and I agree.” During her full course she has been guided by the determination to avoid “cases” and all frivolities that might take her mind from her studies or from Room 26. Point Peter may be unknown to the reader, but such a place exists, and Madge Rayle can exactly locate it; for well she remembers “the place where she was born, and the little window where the sun came peeping in at morn.” She joined the class of 1910 in the Sophomore year, but Wesleyan life was too strenuous, so she spent the next year at home resting. Madge is a marvel, for she takes every special course and every course offered in the Science Depart- ment, yet she lias never been overworked. “Love, what a volume in a word,” Madge is often heard to exclaim, for she has interesting romances and is a strong advocate of co-education in preparatory schools. Lessie Trammell, the only Florida girl, has a home in Lakeland, but is never unduly boastful of “The Land of the Flowers.” She became so addicted to studying during one summer course at the Wesleyan summer school, that she has not been able to break the habit during her Senior year. Every night from ten to eleven she may be found in the library, diligently engaged, though it may be in nodding over her books. It is said that she sleeps with a note book under her pillow. “To get thine ends, lay bashfulness aside; Who fears to ask, doth teach to be deny’d,” quotes Bessie Cooper of Brookhaven, Miss., who came late but achieved much; for she came to conquer at all hazards, and with a fixed determination she set to work at the very beginning. In one thing, however, Bessie has met failure, for with all her exercise and dieting she can not get thin; and when she is alone, her inmost soul cries out: ‘ ‘ Oh, that this too, too solid flesh would melt, Thaw and resolve itself in dew.” This chapter is finished. Very soon our class must begin to make new history in another sphere, better, nobler and stronger perhaps. We do not claim to have done more nor to have achieved greater success than any other class, but we have tried to leave a cleaner path, and one a little smoother for those who must walk over it after us; and to leave a record clean and pure, of which we need not be ashamed. I. Lois Atkixsox, Historian. Prophecy of the Senior Class, 1910. “ ‘Twas night, and weary limbs o’er all the earth Saw quiet slumber; forests and wild waves Had sunk to rest; when stars with gliding orbs Wheeled midway, and when all the field is still, Cattle and painted birds, that haunt the breath Of limpid laks or rough bosky wold Beneath night’s silence laid to sleep, the cares Awhile were lnlled, their hearts were got to ache Not so the spirit vexed,” Senior Prophet. “Nor did I sink dissolved in sleep Nor draw the night into my heart or eyes, Mv pangs redoubled, and prophetic frenzy refused To surge and swell.” Oh, what have 1 to do? Once more try my inventive art. In vain could Virgil carry me t the Cumean Sybil, and in despair I threw down my pen and groped my way alone, dodging at every corner the ar- gus-eved night-watchman. I slipped into the Wesleyan Observatory to see if my horoscope would read that the Senior election had not read my talents wrong. I felt for the telescope, adjusted it timidly, and put my eyes to the eye- piece. “Was it only a bright spot T saw’, and what was that luminary trailing far-like glory behind?” “Halley’s Comet,” I cried. As I did so, the speck be- came larger, until it covered the lens and a sudden glory filled the room. Long hairs sw’ept across ray face, and as I caught one to brush it aside, 1 realized that the tail of the comet w r as sweeping the earth. “Eureka,” T cried, and swinging on to that hair with might and main, I felt myself lifted rapidly through the air. As I clung tighter and swung through the air, two objects dangled toward me, and I saw ' , to my relief, that 1 was not the only being leaving the earth. “ Why, Sara Lee Evans, why Leonora Smith, can that be you ! How on the tail of a comet come you here?” “Why,” answered Leonora, “haven’t you heard of the machine we have invented which can move over the earth or water or through the air? We unfortunately have gotten tangled in the tail of this comet, and are out for a ride no telling where. Lee, if you and Sara Lee will knot the hair, you can sit in the knot and have fine fun looking at the world beneath as vou pass.” The tail swung and vibrated above a large city. Everything seemed to be in a great uproar; all the people were running madly through the streets, and we thought they were excited over us and the comet ; but no, they seemed to be in chase of something evidentlv hard to catch. Private detectives and liveried policemen dashed here and there, around the street corners, scanning eagerly the faces of the exciter! nopnlace, in an effort to arrest the two greatest w’oman suffragettes in the w’orld. Presently we saw two strangely attired w’ornen w’alk arm in arm down the street, shunning public recognition and seem- ingly avoided notice. Ci AVlio can tlie«p two women be we wondered. T looked more eagerlv, and recocnized two of my classmates — Agnes PuPre and Susie Kroner. Then T called out “Susie. Agnes, look up, catch a hair— this is the tail of Hallev’s Comet and you ’ll escane.” Quickly it was done, and the gaping crow’d saw’ their prev swept from their grasp as we passed by. “Cute.” cried Agnes. “For shame, Agnes,” said Susie. “Tf it were true that vou had no ormortunitv to study the new dictionary, you would be excused for using Old Wcslcvan slang.” “New dictionary— whose?” I asked. “One has been edited greatly superior to the Century or Murray’s; it contains fifteen thousand new words, and as many ways of pronunciation, and all this was done by none other than Lois Atkinson,” said Susie. “I am glad my school days are over,” 1 said, but the momentum of the comet swung us apart, and only an occasional word floated to me. Speaking of Lois, Nell Furr, you know, has become so wild about Zoology that she has an animal ranch out in Mississippi, and she has recently accepted a position as animal trainer in Barnum and Bailey’s circus. She has endowed Old Wesleyan with a museum that is to be known as the “Quillian Museum of Natural History.” A current of air swept a scrap of paper into my hand, and I read, “The Heavenly Sphere Fully Discovered and Explored,” by Mattie Mae Tumlin. I called out, “How fine it would be, girls, to have ‘Old Turn’ up here for a guide. She always had heavenly aspirations — maybe we’ll pass her airship, for she is so flighty on aerial subjects that she rarely moves among men.” Another hair of the comet’s tail swung toward me, and I saw clinging to the same hair two women, the one placarded, “A Lineal Descendant of Major Ozone, the World’s Greatest Fresh Air Fiend;” the other girl was tagged with a card which read, “The Most Representative of World’s Women.” “Hello, girls,” they cried, and I recognized Martha Wilkinson and Bessie Cooper. “My glass house with glass windows, walls and doors was having so many stones thrown at it,” complained Martha, “that to keep from getting hit, I had to shut it up; 1 can’t live in a closed house, so 1 took to cometing for a whiff of air. Bessie Cooper, here, is so occupied with social obligations that l brought her out from the stuffy old drawing rooms: Bessie needs this rest, for she exhausted herself at the wedding of Bess Warren, and in helping her estab- lish in the Adirondack Mountains a matrimonial bureau as a crusade against the bachelor girl. Bess Warren also has a scheme on hand to get Congress to tax the old bachelors. Besides all of this, Bessie Cooper has been exploiting the greatest emotional actress in the world,” continued Martha. “You know, I was always crazy about expression, so I went to see the great emotional actress do the Lady Macbeth stunt. She came on the stage in that sleep-walking scene, trailing her flowing gown, as she tried to rub out the damned spot, ‘Out, I say.’ When my eyes rested on Lady Macbeth’s face, 1 could not realize that the great actress could be old Susie Mae Greer. We met Susie later at Rena Pit- ta rd’s bridge party. Rena, you know, is the social queen in Paris, and at her home champagne and everything worldly is in evidence.” As I thought over what Martha had told us, I saw a lonely woman sitting on the side of a bleak volcano. Her strong, serious features seemed strangely familiar, and as the comet’s tail swept nearer the earth, I recognized Madge Rayle. Before her was an easel, and Madge was seeking new colors in the sulphurous smoke and flames. Just at this minute there passed by an airship in which sat Maude Phillips and Ruth Parrish. I could scarcely believe my eyes — those two girls who never let their imagination soar at Wesleyan, now doing the skylark stunt, soaring higher, ever higher as they call out, “How did you all get on the tail of a comet? We have just come from Mars, and if you pass near there you will see Lessie Trammell; she’s organized, not a Ku-Klux Klan, but a Captain Kvd Club, and is amassing a fortune as chief of a band of buccaneers in the canals of Mars.” Swiftly did the airship pass on, but Phillips and Parrish threw into my hands a page of the Bavaria) ' Banner, accounting the sad fate of the world’s greatest musician, Blanche Rucker, who had become so enthusiastic in lec- turing on the theory of theories and the harmony of harmonies in music, that as a reaction she has at last succumbed to a sleeping stupor, as dul Rip V an W mkleoE o d go had an acc0U nt of the world’s greatest jockey, Esther Hosch. This did not surprise us much, for Esther was always wild over the riding of horses, even of hobbies; but Esther’s breaking the world record on speed couldn’t compare with our own aerial flight on the tail of the comet 1 tell the truth, we knew not how fast we were going till we saw a strange look- ing sight coming toward us. We noticed it was of a red color, and prett soon perceived it to be a balloon with Cornelia Smith dangling below. She told us as she approached, that she had been so much admired and courted by meie man below, that to escape she had sought refuge in the upper air by means of the balloon, which she had tactfully taken from Nell Vnvv s animal lanch. She gave us the real fact concerning Octavia Bethea and Jessie Isaacs, ot hoiii the people of the world were gossiping. Rumor says that Octav la lias • t 1 e mind because she devoted her splendid fortune to the founding of a lunatic •isvlum • but reallv, she is a great philanthropist, for she has set up a reforma- tory for one-idea people. It is beautiful to see her faithful in the discharge of her duties as matron of this institution. Jessie Isaacs, in her effort to escape the swaggering tongues of mankind, has embarked to Tartary, and there reigns supreme as queen ot a tartar tribe. She is lovinglv spoken of bv her friends as “C ream of srtai . Something seemed to daze me— I find myself rubbing my eyes vigor- ously — w hat does it all 1116811? Had I dreamed?

The Sophomore Class of 1910 which aspires to be the Seniors of 1912, consists of twenty -seven girls, of whom twelve are blonds, and fifteen brunettes; not a snub-nose one in the number, not a one that is not passably good looking, but possibly too much avoirdupois may occasionally be found. With an effort, we recall to mind the dim past when our class first as- sembled at Wesleyan and our voices first resounded within its walls. There was but one epithet then applied to us and that was “Fresh.” In a short time, our elder sisters understood that a new specie of “Fresh” had made its debut upon the stage of Wesleyan. Each time that they endeavored to submerge us in their “ 1 know it all,” proud air, and their patronizing stare of “you poor, poor little ones,” we would bob up and thrust back at them. We stood our grounds and put the enemy to flight. This year we have entered heartily upon our regular college course. We have put aside childish thoughts. The hatchet is buried. Our hard training of the past year has fitted us for the numerous and arduous duties that con- fronted us. We have stood the test and. without conceit, I can say that we have stood it well. Although the Sophomores are weighted down with mighty thoughts and great intentions, yet occasionally they find time to indulge in a glass of ice cream or a box of Huyler’s. Here is a secret that I will tell you, — the girl voted to be the most origi- nal in college belongs to the Sophomores of 1910. I have told you of our enemies, now I shall tell you of our friends. We have a strong and mighty comfort in the present Senior class. . In our upris- ings with the foe, in our misery, and in our pleasure, these faithful Seniors have stood by us. They guided our uncertain steps and have placed our feet upon solid rock. Words are meaningless when we attempt to sing the praises of the Seniors of 1910. In the two years that lie before us, we are resolved to do credit to our college. We hope to lay a foundation that, strong and substantial, will be wor- thy to build the structure of our future life. We hope to gain a knowledge that will fit us to cope with the perplexing problems that lie before us. Then we hope, and not only hope but work to attain the end that the Seniors of 1912 may be the truest and best that have ever passed from Wesleyan’s doors. Lucile Ray, Historian. Freshman Class.

(With apologies to Bryant.) To Freshmen who in love of class have held Communion with her visible forms, she spoke A various language ; for our gayer hours She had a Junior picnic, Klu Klux Klan, And fun of Masquerade; she also crept Into our painful studies with a mild And healing sympathy that stole away Their hardness, e’re we were aware. When time For pleasant recreation came like balm Upon our spirits; when glad images Of tennis and exciting basket-ball, And breathless watching, and the victory our’s, Made us to laugh and to grow gay at heart; Then went we forth on campus and we beat The haughty Soph ’mores, while from all around Arose the cheering erics of Juniors dear. Not even in old Wesleyan’s gloomy halls Did we remain alone, nor could we’ve wished Companions more congenial; for we dwell’d With patriarchs of the college world-teachers The powerful of earth — with Juniors fair And wise; great thought of all the ages past All in one mighty prison. The campus Hedge-ribb’d and ancient as the sun — the grass Stretching in pensive quietness between ; The venerable trees; and pour’d round all, Old Macon’s hills and vales and Vineville fair, — Are but the old familiar ’virons, all Of the great home of Wesleyan’s daughters fair. We live that when the summons comes for this Illustrious Freshman class to move to that Mysterious day, when each receives at last Her dip in Wesl ’van’s chapel, we shall go Like conquerors all to reap the spoils of war Sustain’d and sooth’d by each success, we will But emulate the class of 1909 The Klu Klux Klan, who bore the white and red.

Divinity Fudge. First, to make divinity fudge, a suitable day must be chosen, — namely Sunday. The matron being divinely appointed as our guardian angel, will ex- cuse you from church, if some pail of your anatomy is “on the bum.” How- ever, a divine inspiration, as a result of a sermon preached by some being not divine will help wonderfully; hence Sunday afternoon is preferable if “you have seen your duty and done it” or in other words if you have perambulated back and forth from church. To properly attend to the matter, work should be started several days be- forehand. Remember that butter wrapped up in your T. L.’s latest note, which you happen to have in your coat pocket, gives a divine flavor to butter stolen from the table. Sugar, (known as Ci 2 H 22 0u to the wise and woolly chemistry students) is easy to slip from the dining room if you have a fresh napkin to devote to the cause. Milk is desirable but if the stern voice of duty — a la Mrs. Burks — has kept you too busy to allow for forethought in the matter, water from the Oemulgee river with a few drops of Honey-Almond (provided your room-mate left any after her vain attempts to look pretty when Tom called) will serve the purpose. Assembled in your room on the set Sunday afternoon with a big “ Strictly Private ” on the door to warn the wondering angels that privacy is desired, and with your friends crammed under the bed or in closets, work may be begun. One of Kress’ tin pans is an excellent utensil if held carefully vover the gas. The girls may fuss about who has held it over the gas longest but ‘ ‘ chil- dren will be children.” Cook the compound steadily if the teacher is not prowl- ing around. All the nuts (cracked with a shoe heel on the dresser) which kind fates have forced the greedy (but divine!!!) girls to leave uneaten, may be inserted in the candy as it hardens. Hastily empty the chemical mixture, when suffi- ciently done, into wash bowls, soap dishes and pin trays. Pound the candy frantically for three consecutive minutes, vowing assiduously that you were never so weary in all your life. Cut the half-hardened mass with the scissors, nail file, — oh, anything will do! Select four smoothly cut pieces, pack care- fully in a five pound box and send to your best beau. If he doesn’t say that your divinity fudge is heavenly and that you are the essence of divinity, it won’t be your fault. Gelatine. On Saturday afternoon buy a ten cent package of Gelatine from Kress’. On the night of this same day, you and your T. L. must borrow all the best looking soap dishes you can find. Pour into these the gelatine slightly moist- ened with a sweet soap solution. Set out on roof during the night to congeal. Sleep late on Sunday morning. Get up at ten o’clock and while you are fran- tically dressing for church, eat pieces of the delightful mass with your shoe horn. It is best to make this delicious dish on the back side of the Annex porch as soot from heating furnaces gives the eatable an exciuisite flavor. The Proper Way to Fry Sausage. Pull the largest nabisco box you can find out of the trash basket, grease it with cold cream to give it the college flavor and sprinkle a little sachet powder over the greased pan. Hold tin box over gas jet with your curling tongs. Turn the balls of meat with your newest frat. hat pin. When the sausage is suffi- ciently cooked serve it to your friends on theme paper. Anything and everything for commencement. When its your busy day just ring 383 and we will deliver the article in the shortest time possible. Pennants, Stationery, and score cards.

Dear Jack: I am mighty tired and sleepy but 1 just must write you about this awful thing which is making my life miserable, i know you are the only person who can tell me what in the world 1 must do in the matter. Perhaps 1 11 be dead, though, when you get this letter — 1 almost know 1 will be burned alive at that. O, Jack, just think of it! I’ll never be alive to read another one of your let- ters, and I wanted you to tell me what to do, so hath Please write me in a hurry anyway, maybe it all won’t happen to-night. It makes me shiver to think of meeting such a perfectly horrible death, and, when I realize it might be this very night, 1 nearly collapse. Let the worst come, Jack, 1 will not run down one of those awful lire escapes. Those are the terrible things that 1 want to write you about. You just ought to see them hanging in mid-air, reminding you of death a million times a day. Jack, it is killing me by degrees to have to look at them all day as well as dream of them by night. Yes, 1 think of them all night, for not a wink have 1 slept since 1 saw my first fire escape and not a wink will 1 ever dare to sleep, expecting every minute to be my last. I know there is something somewhere in the scriptures about “Be not caught sleeping when death knocks,” and ever since these fire- escapes came into my life, 1 have been reading my Bible diligently, but to save my life I can’t find it. Jack dear, the first two nights of this awful life, each of which lasted an eternity, 1 stayed awake wondering if 1 shoidd go down backwards or forwards on the awful things. Jack, I can not and will not go down forwards, they are simply too steep. Besides, I do not care about traveling at the rate of a mile a minute, expecting all the time to be dashed to pieces on the ground below. On the other hand, I can not and will not go down backwards, for that process is so slow that I would be burned up before I got half way down. Each way would be death and I will not go down at all. Then too, Jack, I heard someone say that when everybody was down there they called the roll and if you hadn’t come down the horrible things they would suspend you for they must have order, even at critical times, in the school. 1 have thought it all over and have just about decided that I had much rather be suspended from school than to be suspended high up in mid-air at twelve o’clock at night. You see how it is Jack, everywhere I turn it is worse than death. Inevitable death stares me in the face on all sides and I am per- fectly miserable. O, what if they should practice fire escaping to-night! One thing sure and certain, I’ll not practice; somehow though, I feel as if the real thing will happen to-night. Jack, I would love to get one more letter from you telling me what to do when time comes to fire-escape or rather I mean to escape fire. There is no use wishing for your letter for I am afraid I shall be ashes even when you get this letter. ), what a horrible death and to think I must calmly wait for it to happen. Good-bye, maybe forever, dear old Jack. Your own sister, “Little Nelle.” P. S. — I guess you had better write me as quick as you can how I am to know when they are just practicing for a fire, or when it is a fire sure enough. Please tell me if it is a disgrace to be suspended from school if you can’t fire- escape. Do write quick, Jack. “Little Sister.” Board of Editors of “The Wesleyan.” Editor-in-Chief . .

Ed.: Well she’s “gone and torn up my playhouse.” I had the loveliest and most entrancing romance all planned out. The heroine was a dainty “pink and white” blonde and the hero was so big and strong.

Ed.: Oh, I never write anything. I use my room-mate’s old themes. This month I have a lovely poem my sister’s “steady” wrote. I stole it, guess he’ll be quite conceited when he finds it has been printed. Alumnae Ed.: I wish instead of wasting his energy writing poetry, vour sister’s “steady” would propose, so I could have a wedding for my Alum- nae Notes. It seems to me that when it comes to getting married and doing startling tilings the Wesleyan Alumnae is “the slowest ever.” Local Ed. : The alumnae may be slow, but I am sure the girls here are the dullest in the world. They will not say anything cute. I go around giving them the most glorious chances to say something original but they positively refuse to utter a word. I tremble to think how many lost opportunities they will have to answer for and how many stories I have had to tell to have any- thing at all in my department. Exchange Ed.: Mv part is the worst of all. If I read the “Exchanges” f don’t have time to criticize them and every time I criticize them without read- ing them I hit it wrong. I always was unlucky. Y. W. C. A. Ed.: I guess it’s all my fault that I can’t get enough things to fill my space, but I do try. I suppose I ’ll have to take “Be not weary in well doing” as my text and go “gleaning” again. Business Manager: If I had as easy position as you I’d be positively ashamed to fuss. Anyone can write essays, poems, stories and jokes (no one ever reads them anyhow). But not everyone (in fact, no one) can get money from a college girl except by holding her up at the point of a pistol. I ’d let things “slide” if I wasn’t afraid all my valuables (consisting of three hun- dred love letters from Jack and his picture) would be seized and confiscated. All: There’s the bell!

Chronicle of Ye Classe Graduating in the Year of Our Lorde 1910. When the darkness of woman’s nyght was in tyme beginning to break and the lyghte of Christianity was bringing the dawn of a bryghter day of her existence, some goode and wvse men thynkith to themselves our daughters should be taught ye learning of bookes. So it was that in the veer of our Lorde 1836 the auldest college for women in the worlde was founded and called Ye Georgia Female College, — which is in these latter days known as Wesleyan College. Anno 70 (of Ye Aui.d Institution). 1. Here did tills goode and noble classe of 1910, in the ninth month of the yeer A. 1). 1906, with great courage and hope of capturing ye rare and bryghte jewels, diplomas, anne themselves with well and stronge wrought weapons of ye warfare for knowledge, — Livey, Geometry, Historye and various other bookes of letters. And with rare fortitude did they begin the conquest of ye far-famed lande in which only, this treasure was to be found. During which conquest and in which lande various new and strange experiences would be theirs. Rumors were brought to them of many har dships to be met, — sufferings from pangs of hunger, dangers of the obscure and narrow paths of literature to be trod, and of sudden attacks from unknown enemies. They were told in the first year of the conquest, in the queere language of that lande called the Freshman, they must lie fortified against attacks from the tribes of Sopho- mores, Seniors, and Specials. 2. Here during a truce in the last week of the month of October the brave and noble warriors of the Freshman legion were summoned to a jubilee held by their goode and true allies the Juniors. It so happened that they all went masked to their festal hall and in the midst of the revelrve a cry was raised of — the enemie! — a spie! And for a tyme so great tumult raged that the spies being heavilie masked cunninglie contrived to get away from the hall be- fore they were founde out. They soon, however, sent fleet runners after them. They were overtaken and founde to be two of the dread Sophomores. Thynk- ing they were unpursued had reposed themselves in a secluded spot and were feasting on their spoils, — pepper sandwiches! 3. Many small skirmishes ensued here during the following months of the winter and sprvnge. After the last battle in the month of May, the Freshmen having come out victorious over the Faculty were, for firm endur- ance and much fortitude, promoted to the higher rank, of Sophomores. Anno 71. Coming out of summer quarters with recruits the troops numbering 33, now in the third week of the month of September A. D. 1907, did boldly enter upon another seige of the lande, hoping at the end of it to be raised to the rank of Juniors. 1. Here in the middle of the month of April of ye next year A. 1). 1908 did much conflict take place between the tribes of the Sophomores, Seniors and Specials against ye Junior and Freshman classes. From one battle that en- sued between the Sophomores and the Juniors, the former coming away victo- rious did proudlie bear off as a rare trophy the much valued ensign of the Juniors, whiche did cause great tumult and confusion among the routed enemy. 2. Here finally did the struggles of these different tribes come to a cul- mination in a fierce contest on a day, known in the queere and strange language of that lande as Classe Day. Then they did vie with each other that in clever feats one might out do another. Much singing and merrie-making did take place amonge them. On that eventful day did the Sophomores, ve classe of 1910, in the guise of a benevolente order minvster generouslie and cliaritablie to the wants and needs of their destitute enemies. To ye Juniors did they re- turn their treasured banner, whiche they had captured, and did also give to them for their consolation the likeness of a man. For they had on one festive occasion summoned many to their merrie-making who did not come. The Sophomores did then leave the hall amid much praise for their cleverness. 3. They did now soone leave the scene of conquest to go for a tyme into home-quarters where they should get new strength and courage to begin the struggle the next year as Juniors. Anno 72. 1. The army though diminished by losses in the battles of the year be- fore, did now courageously renew the conquest, with forces numbering 19, marching forward to the place where as Seniors they shoulde obtain the long sought jewels. 2. Here they did, after weeks of fighting and hardships of the warfare, come thankfully to the holyday season of ye joyous Christmas Tide. Then did the faithful Juniors summon their trie 1 and true allies, ye Freshman Classe, to join them in ye festive merrie-making around the Christmas tree. They did go away laden with many gifts as tokens of the loyaltye of .ye classe of 1910 to them. 3. Here in the second week of January in 1909 A. I). did a fierce and desperate battle ensue when ye classe of 1910 was suddenly attacked by their fiercest and most dreaded foe the Facultv on the battlefield of ve Final Examina- tions. With unusual valor did the classe withstand the attack and at last com- pletely routed the enemy, bearing away from the battlefield the most sought after trophies of this peculiar warfare. — reports having inscribed upon them in letters of great beauty, to their envyed possessors, “ Passed,” ‘‘Passed with merit,” and some had the rarely found and highlie prized “Passed with Dis- tinction.” But alas! some poor unfortunates were forced to leave the field with only “Passed with condition” fallen to their sad lot. Anno 73. A new King did now in this yeer of our Lorde A. 1). 1909 come to the throne. He did by demanding tribute of ye neighboring tribes seek to fortify the stronghold, ye Wesleyan College with more arms and ammunition, consist- ing of new bookes, new buildings, and beste of all to the soldiers, a greater food supplve. 1. Here at ye Festival of Thanksgiving when all warfare for the tvme- being was ceased in that lande, the Seniors did meet in a tournament ye Junior classe. Much skill and valor was shown in ye combat at basket-ball, a feat pe- culiar to ye college people. At last ye Seniors, the classe of 1910, did come away victorious. 3. Here in the next yeer in the monthe of April, when all was for a tyme peaceful the Sophomores, the classe of 1912, did make ready with much ado to spreade a feaste in their banquet hall for the Senior classe. These classes did meet around their festive banquet board with much merrie-making. And did in partaking of the delicately prepared viands and in the drinkving of toasts celebrate until a late hour. From which festive hall did ye classe of 1910 go away truer than ever to ye classe of 1912. 4. Here, after some desperate struggles which did ensue during the monthes of Sprynge ye classe of 1910 met in final array before the Faculty of ye auldest and ye best institution, with whom they had made conciliations and were now to be judged of, in peace, whether they should receive the hard fought- for jewel. Here on the 30th of the month of May did the King of the lande, upon the council of his courtiers, the Facultv, extend graciously his sceptre and as each of the classe lnimblv touched it, — dubbed each one A.B., and gave unto them for their safe-keeping the long fought-for jewels — diplomas. 9 Diedchen Music Faculty.
