BEACH Historian 14 Class 5 oem The once never-ending flood of years — From Time ' s exhaustless urn, Whose rushing waves crushed us, Have at even Ijeen stilled. Mirrored on that calm deep, now The keenly glittering daylight fades And twilight softly gathers ' round. With soothed sorrows and lessened pain, We come at last to even song : Tenderly we fondle, as in prayer. Each memory — those priceless beads, The rosary of now shortened years, Have lost their bitter sting. And striving through many tears We count them o ' er and kiss the cross The night, like a pall o ' er our spirit Where groping in breathless darkness, Fain would find cherished dreams. Voiced visions of other days gone. The which, eagerly wishing the morrow. Though its bitter trials be fraught Amid life ' s ever crimson flood. In the mellow flowing of to-morrow The past will yield at last its treasure. Then may we with glad reverence Count the beads and kiss the cross Of a realm in whose calm reign There is no pain or sorrow, and Whose beauty knows no grief. Barney Haynes, Poet. With the slowly reddening far east. Our night of uncertain fear Fades, and, in the morning light Becomes a fancy-fashioned dream. With the sun of still another day Comes a likeness of our once Cherished ideals and fond hopes. We have not grown tired waiting. Nor have we made thoughts our aim, Nor lost courage when those about us Doubted and changed disaster for triumph. No lies knaves have ever uttered But have in truth been erased. 15 ARTHUR WATSON AYERS Orangeburg, S. C. a mail is niiliaf f y, this must be his oivii fault: for God made all men to be happy. First Censor Preston Society; Gymnasium Team, three years; Class Track, ' 10-Tl ; Varsity Track, ' 11.- ' 12; President Orangeburg Club. Arthur is the clown of the class, as well as the Joker of the college. He is often mistaken, because of his actions — well, we won ' t say for what he is taken at times, but he does act queer. Yet beneath all this are found the stern qualities of a man. He has always been a conscientious worker, and a happy home adorned with choicest calico is his expected reward. WILLIAM LeROY ALL Allendale, S. C. Fie reads much; he is a great observer, and he looks quite through the deeds of men. Recording Secretary, Second Censor, Second Critic, and President Preston Society; Secretary and Treasurer Class, ' 09-TO; Chief Marshal Sophomore Exhibition ; Class liase- ball, ' OS-m ' 09- ' 10, ' lO- ' ll, T1-T2; President Terpsichorean Club, Tl- ' 12. His nickname, Cad, is no index to his character, it having come to him as the result of an evolutionary process. - His favorite diversion, like that of Teufelsdrockh of old, is to sit before the fisre and brood over the affairs of this old world. Roy is a deep thinker, and has almost unlimited powers of expression. As a poet-philosopher he bids fair to eclipse Walt Mason. 16 BENJAMIN MOOD BADGER Dillon, S, C.

Some day it is to be hoped that this young Adonis will meet a Venus so fair, so bewitch- ing and altogether so adorable, that she will conquer the heart of the conqueror and bring the invincible one to her feet. ,. We suspect that this goddess will come from the old North State. For further information along this line, see Ben. FRITZ CHESTER BEACH Rock Hill, S.

Fritz is a philosopher of the modern school. He thinks along the right line and then lets you know what he thinks ; and what he says usually has the right ring. He is no idle dreamer though, for he can figure with you on any proposition, and when you have finished you end up by handing him a check, and he says, We are square. 17 LARKIN AUGUSTUS CARTER Lancaster, S. C. Be checked for silence, but never taxed for speech. College Marshal, Corresponding Secretary, Treasurer, First Censor, Second Critic, Vice- President, and President Carlisle Society. One of the Faculty once told us that our class was lacking in dignity, but he was wrong, howev er. The larger part of the dignity of the class is embodied in the person of Larkin. Watch him stalk across the campus some day, and deny it if you will. But his dignity is chiefly in his bodily person, and those in close touch with him find him genial, imaffected by flattery or censure, and unfailing in his appre- ciation of humor. The class could ill aft ' ord to do without this second Gus. FIIRAM SPEER BURDETTE Lanford Station, S. C. Fat paunches make quite lean the zvits. Second Censor, First Critic, and Vice-Presi- dent Preston Society; Class Basket-ball, ' 09- •lO. ' W- ' U. Hiram Speeram is not like other men ; in a world of strife and blatant noise he moves as one apart. When you talk with him _ he replies in a low, carefully modulated voice, having in it the assurance of high authority. You are irresistibly reminded of the murmur- ing of the pines, which at times conies to your ears, among whose tops he habitually moves, and whose music he has caught in its full meaning. He loves his brother man, and r woman — he adores her. 18 1 ROBERT LEIGHTON COX DOTHAN, N. C. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN CROMLEY Saluda, S. C. Give fools their silks, and kiiaz ' es their iviiie — a man ' s a man- for a ' that. Second Censor, First Censor, Second Critic, First Critic, and Vice-President Carlisle Societ} ' . Behold the pedagogue, the terror of small boys ! Nature has made him to sit behind a desk and dictate policies. In the school-room we behold him king, monarch of all he sur- veys. When he speaks : Look a ' here, young- man, sit up and behave yourself, there is obedience. The wielder of hickory switches is respected, honored, revered. What really lurks under that quiet face is hard to tell, but this we know: it lurks, for it has never yet shown itself. The first test of a really great man is his humility.

He prides himself on the double fjict that while in college he has learned to talk fairly well, and assumed a dignitied appearance. With such endowments, we predict a brilliant career in his native country. He expects to be President of N. C. in a few years. 19 GEORGE MILTON CRUM Orangeburg, S. C. There arc no Iriclcs in l laiii and shnfle failh. Corresponding Secretary, Second Censor, Treasurer, First Censor, and President Cal- houn Society; College Marshal, ' lO- ' ll Speaker Sophomore Exhibition ; Vice-Presi- dent Class, ' 10-Tl ; President Class, ' 11- ' 12 Glee Club, ' 09- ' 10, ' lO- ' ll, ' 11- ' 12; Quartette ' lO- ' ll, ' 11- ' 12; Assistant Manager Glee Club TO- ' ll, ' 11- ' 12: Secretary and Treasurer Musi- cal Association; Y.

Milt is the high-water mark of our class. Look at his face, open, frank, without secret or deception. His specialties have been Psy- chology and Glee Club. His musical aliility speaks, rather than sings, for itself ; and he is evidently making some changes in the musi- cal world, possibly revising the scale. HENRY GRADY DAVIS Marion, S. C. O ' crstcp not the inodesty of nature. Monthly Orator, Calhoun Societ ' ; Class Track, TO- ' ll; Varsity Track, ' 11- ' 12. All through his college course Grady has been tortured by the fear that somebody would catch him at something. He dreads the dis- covery of his deeds, either good or evil, from sheer modestyV and in this respect he stands among his self-assertive classmates as a nug- get of gold surrounded by more or less polished pieces of brass. His nature finds its chief expression in the courtly game of tennis, and this is his chosen form of communication with his fellow students. He has been to a reception at Limestone, and has called upon a girl — once. 20 NELSON WALSER EDENS Clio, S. C. Let the world slide.

' OS-m ' 09- ' 10, ' lO- ' ll, ■11- ' 12; Class Prophet. ? ! ! ! These dashes, etc., are used for the response met with when Waltz is asked to pass the sugar at Fairyland. This is an outgrowth of petulancy acquired in his early youth. His love for self-adornment varies strongly. On week days it is almost abnormal, while on Sunday it is entirely lacking. He is a baseball artist, and therefore a hero to the youth. Waltz also is a friend to his friends, and a mystery to all (the rest). HENRY LRBY ELLERBE Bennettsville, S. C. Behold your King! ' ' Entered ' 07, dropped out ' 08, reentered ' 09 ; First Censor Calhoun Society ; Freshman Speaker; Class Baseball, ' 07- ' 08, ' 11- ' 12; Class Football, ' 11- ' 12; Inter-Class Football, ' 11- ' 12. The King, or Pool-oo, as he is fandliarly known, came to college some five or six years since with all sorts of possibilities bundled uo in him. His inherent modesty has kept back the most of them. That he is of a poetic temperament is shown not only in his use of. English, but from the fact that nothing appears to him like the music of the spheres. His practical demonstrations are convincing. 21 PELHAM LEANDER FEEDER Elloree, S. C. Company, villainous coiiipany, hath been the ruin of me. Preston Societ} ' ; Class Football, ' 11- ' 12. The above example of what Mother Nature can do was discovered, trapped and broken to harness in Elloree, and sent to college to learn the use of combs, brushes, neckties, etc. But Victim was quick to catch on, and now, when not lying on the bed smoking a stogie, he is usually found collecting razors for his morning shave. Chaucer has the unmis- takable look of having once had a bright idea and having never recovered from it. His ambition is to be a great doctor, but we predict that he will follow the inclination of his nose, which will doubtless lead him else- where. HENRY NIMROD FOLK Bambeeg, S. C. He shines like any rainboiv — and perchance his colors are as transient. Corresponding Secretary, Second Censor, Recording Secretary, First Censor, and Vice- President Preston Societv ; Class Baseball, ' 09- ' 10, ' lO- ' ll, ' 11- ' 12: College Marshal, ' 09- ' ' 10; Chief Marshal, ' lO- ' ll ; Glee Club, ' lO- ' ll ; Presiding Officer Junior Debate. Wait a minute ! Henry is not so innocent and calm as he appears to be. If you think so, defame Coleman Bleasc, and you will see calmness transformed into a raging storm. He is a special favorite of the fair sex — being a second G. Washington. His favorite pastime is teasing. He becomes very wild when he gets away from the inspiring influence of same. 22 JOHN LYLES GLENN, JR. Chester, S. C. There is integrity in his eye. ■ Monthly Orator, Corresponding Secretary, Treasurer, and President Preston Society; Class Baseball, three years; Captain, two years; Captain Class Football, four years; Inter-Class Football, four ' years ; Catcher Varsity Baseball, four years ; Speaker Fresh- man Exhibition; Speaker Sophomore Exhi- bition ; Junior Debater ; Class Historian, ' 08- ' 09; Vice-President Class, ' 09- ' 10; President Class, ' 10-11; Bohemian Staff, ' 10-11; Recording Secretary S.

Pud is the model of what most of us wish to become. His limit of dissipation is a cup of weak tea. He is an all-round athlete, a football star, yet his name has never been omitted from the distinction list in any of his studies since he came to college. DAGNALL DEVORE GRANT Saluda, S. C. O, it is excellent To have a giant ' s strength. Preston Society; Class Basket-ball, ' 09-TO ; Class Baseball, ' 11- ' 12; Class Football, ' 08- ' 09, ' 09- ' 10, ' lO- ' ll, ' 11- ' 12; Inter-Class Football, ' lO- ' ll; College Marshal, ' lO- ' ll ; Junior- Sophomore Debater; Athletic Editor Bohe- mian. The change from the hard work and scant fare of Saluda caused Dag to begin to fatten immediately on arrival, and since then _ only the anxious and loving care of his friends has warded off the ever increasing danger of apoplexy. If he lives he will stand as a firmly- founded tower of refuge for his fellow men, for he has a heart as big as his body, and a pair of feet bigger than them both. 23 ROBERT ROY GRIFFIN WiLLIAMSTON, S, C. ijiay not sliiiic clseivhcrc . but loolc at my head. Memlier Calhoun Society : College Marshal. Griff is possessed of many talents, but, like the ancient possessor of one, keeps them hid in a napkin. He is a musician of great ability, and sings and plays well under provocation. He is frequently seen with a gun on his shoulder, his head just barely round a corner looking for big game, said big game appearing in the form of Rags, his canine friend, who accompanies him on his hunts. Roy ' s greatest weakness is his fondness for b se- ball. If he has missed a game since c iming here, no one has found it out. RYAN DeWITT GUILDS CORDESVILLE, S. C.

We might apply it to him, for when he uses English it should become standard. We reluctantly call him what a girl told us of him, a woman hater. He never writes to a girl. His object in mak- ing his Sunday evening calls is to guy them. And besides, he has a mania for shrouding in mystery all his visits. 24 PHILIP MAY HAMER Marion, S. C. Much leariiiiifj inakcth a man fit coiiifaiiy for himself. First Critic and Vice-President Calhoun •Society ; ' Junior Debater; Preliminary Wof- ford-Davidson Debater; Glee Club, ' lO- ' ll, ' 11- ' 12; Winner Alumni Science Medal. This dark-haired object does not consist entirely of head ; it also has feet, and in lai-ge quantities. Father is a bachelor, but he is a iirm believer in the fair sex, in his peculiar way, and while he pretends that he is not sen- timental, he has been seen to smile sweetly while deep in letter writing. His hobby is collecting pictures, and he has been known to have as many as two dozen of the same girl arranged on his bureau. BARNEY SMITH HAYNES Pacolet, S. C. As fat as butter, and false as dicers ' oafJis. Monthly Orator, Corresponding Secretary, Recording Secretary, First Censor, Second Critic, First Critic, Vice-President, and Presi- dent Carlisle Society; Chairman Inter-Society Committee; Class Football, ' 08- ' 09, TO- ' IO, TO- ' ll; Inter-Class Football, ' 08- ' C9, ' 09-TO, ' 10-11 ; Contributor to Journal and Bohemian; Manager Wofford-Davidson Debate ; Business Manager Journal ; Class Poet. Baby has one of the most highly imagin- ative minds that Wofford has ever produced. His adventures are truly wonderful to hear of, and are told with consummate art and the straightest of faces. Dame Rumor has it that somewhere south of here there is a maiden fair waiting for Baby and his dip. 25 CAMPBELL BRYCE HAYNES Spartanburg, S. C. I feel like a wJiisfle on a peanut stand. Second Critic, Preston Society; Reader, Glee Club, ' 11- ' 12: First Honor, Junior-Sopho- more Debate; Wofford-Davidson Debater, ' 11- ' 12; Senior Speaker. Bryce is the great debater of the class — that is, after he gets started. Here is the formula by which he starts : First, cover fore- head wdth frowns ; second, gaze at the ceiling; then gently raise his hand and at the same time lower his eyes. When these meet there is a gasic combustion, and anything is liable to follow thereafter. He is to be Blease ' s carupaign manager next summer. JAMES CECIL HAZEL Johnston, S. C. Just to fill tlic hour — that is happiness.

Nut ' s birthplace cannot be found. He has told us several times, however, but we could not deceive ourselves to believe such an unimportant matter. We are not real anxious to know, but for the sake of Biology we hate to pass such beings by. However, if you wish to see him, go to Whittington ' s any hour of the afternoon and there, invariably, you find him. Nut is a versatile, all-round good fellow. 26 HOYL DuPRE HIGH Spartanburg, S. C. Go often to the house of thy friend, for zu ' eeds soon choice up the unused path. ' ' Preston Society; Class Football, ' 11- ' 12: Inter-Class Football, ' 11-12; Contributor to Journal, DiiPre is of a poetic temperament. Often twelve o ' clock has been announced to him, he wends his way homeward, and there in the stillness of the night his heart overflows with sentimental poetry. Of course he does not write poetry every night when the above happens, else practice would cause him to challenge Shelley. Poor fellow! The gods may forgive and forget him, his future_ life may cast a shadow over these days for him — l)Ut never, no, ne ' er, can the readers of the Journal forgive him. RUFUS SADLER HILL Anderson, S.

Rufie is a great songster. His voice has an irresistible appeal and, like Orpheus of old, he causes even the rocks and trees to move. But his power is not limited to station- ary objects alone, for many members of the fairer sex have succumbed, each in their turn, to the power of his charm. But listen, ladies, don ' t you ever chuck him under the chin ! 27 RAYMOND LEE HOLROYD KiNGSTREE, S. C. Come and trip it as yon go, On the light, fantastic toe.

If we were to search among the angels above, and among the demons below the earth, never would we find a more graceful dancer. Rick is a great student; he reads much; when it comes to theological problems he is an authority. He haunts the library ; this is the cause of his fleshless figure. He would profit by taking more interest in the gymna- sium. If he does not take more exercise he will not live long, and Southern Methodism will be the loser. PINCKNEY PEARLE JONES Sp.vrtanburg, S.

Doctor, with a voice screwed up to the last notch, is his favorite expression, He has been a member of the Faculty this year and his advice has almost caused a revolution. Don ' t know where the faculty will get a prime minister for another year. His pastime is gathermg statis- tics and giving Dune the fundamentals of Sociology. P. P. has been a faithful, silent worker while in college, and has devoured many books unknown to his fellow-students. He has a large heart, and nature surely was not parsimonious while endowing him with such a kindly disposition. 28 JAMES BENJAMIN KAY LOWNDESVILLE, S. C. RUTLEDGE MAURICE LAWSON Spartanburg, S. C.

Genius, we are all told, does not work, there- fore, going backwards, we should say that ' ■ ' Reese is a genius. By the end of his Sopho- more year he had dropped those studies which required any time and attention, and took only Math, Science, and a language or two which were suited to his own erratic, analyti- cal lines of thought. Reese was a kid when he started with our class, but, keenly resent- ing any comparison, he forced himself to an early maturity, the marks of which are seen in his face. For I am fresh of sf ' irit, and resolved To meet all perils very constantly. Recording Secretary, and Vice-Presi dent Preston Society; Sophomore Marshal: Class Football, ' 11- ' 12; Y. M. C. A. Editor Journal; Bohemian Staff, ' lO- ' ll ; Business Manager Bohemian; Second Vice-President College Council. That Jim has the patience of Job is clearly shown by the fact that he agreed to undertake the management of the Bohemian, and of Bob Meriwether. Jim first attracted attention when he came to college because of his ready wit, and since that time his popularity has become universal. This fact can not be attri- buted to his wit alone, however, but is due in a large measure to the many sterling quali- ties which he possesses. 29 JOHN ERNEST McKENZIE It is a nipping and on eager air.

He neglects his other duties to attend classes occasionally. ' Tis said, remember, ' tis said, he has learned to dance. Mack is a Scotch- man, and he still retains the ancestral liking for raids : in this case, however, not upon the English, but upon the stronghold of preacher ' s food. Mack has never been known to show any feathers, but if he does they will be chicken feathers. ROBERT BOYD McIVER Savannah, Ga. have not known when his affections szvayed more than his reason.

Mc is a good example of the manifoldness of the individual. He is successful in every- thing he undertakes, especially the handling of Hopkins ' line, which he swears will not rip, ravel or run ragged at the ends.

Merry is the real journalist of the class. However, he has a pec.iliar characteristic (especially when approached about a disgust- ing subject) of assuming a ' possum grin, emitting a flow of very explicit language, mostly ' hot air, then forswearing all he has just said and quieting down to real business. He is a rarity seldom found. 31 REUBEN EARLE MOODY Dillon, S. C. A feJlozv of good respect. His life hath had so)iie sniack of honor in it.

We first gazed on Malcolm ' s smiling coun- tenance four years ago, and in spite of profes- sors and exams he has smiled his way with us to the end. In his Freshman and Sopho- more year he set the pace for our class in hosiery, neckwear, etc. This year he has sobered down to mild lavender, sky-blue and light gray. Please note his pompadour. We have heard that an hour before breakfast is the least time he ever spends before his mir- ror. His nickname is 41, because, as some girl said, he is slower than 41 (local train from Charlotte to Seneca). 32 JAMES DILLINGHAM NELSON, JR. Spartanburg, S. C. Lozv, forsooth, zvas he in stature.

Entering college, he has con- tinued his ravages on the hearts of the fair sex. Zed is devoted to chapel services, which he has never been known to miss. He is very fond of vocal music (especially his own), and the only remedy for him when in the blues is to have a good old hyme. 39 senior Class History liQK ; NETEIiN Imndred twelve! Four years ago that date seemed somewliere afar off in the remote future. To-day it is a reality, and nineteen hundred eight seems as but yesterday. So it is e ' er with time — looking forward, it stretches out into an illimit- aljle expanse ; looking backward, the conception of it is lost and memor} brings past e ' ents into startling proximity. And so it is with a feeling somewhat akin to sadness that we realize we are Seniors. During our four years in college we have made a history. We have met with some successes ; we have made many failures. But i n success or defeat we have stood together. On tlie morning of Septeml er 16, 1908, we assembled in the historic old chapel for the first time. This was the beginning of a habit which has clung to some of us to the present. We gazed with reverent awe at the Seniors, and ith h(_ ly h(jrror at the Faculty. These feelings have gradually been displaced by others, and now that we are Seniors, we can not understand why now and then a Freshman speaks to us with respect. The chapel exercises over, we were solemnly ushered into the holy of holies, where we placed our names on the College Register. It was found after registration that we numbered eighty-two. The first tiling we did was to elect officers, and the election resulted as follows : President, R. T. Wilson ; Vice-President, Tv. S. Hill; Secretary and Treasurer, E. R. Hubbard. We had now to look forward to the oratorical event of the year — the Freshman Contest. This was held on the night of May lOtli, and the con- testants were : J. D. Brown, R. L. Cox, R. B. Mclver, R. R. Nickels, J. L. Glenn, and R. T. Wilson. Thu oratory displayed that night would have caused Demosthenes to turn o ' er in his grave could he lia ' e heard it. The judges, with the usual difficult} ' , decided that the medal should go to Mr. Nickels. In tlie foil (jwnig September we returned to undergo that most harassing of all years — the Sophomore. The Freshman is excused, tlie Junior is respected, the Senior is pitied, but there is only contempt for tlie Sophomore. The eliminating process of time, which leaves us to-day with fortv-eight candidates for the degree, was already making itself apparent. Our number was reduced to fifty-nine. The following officers were chosen: President, R. B. Mclver; Vice-President, I. L. Glenn; Secretary and Treasurer, W. L. All. The oratorical event of the Sophomore year is termed an exhibition. We do not know wliy, unless it is to illustrate the eternal fitness of things. On 40 April 11th we gave ours. Those taking part in it were: J. D. Brown, R. L. Cox, G. M. Crum, L. C. Wannamaker, J. L. Glenn, and R. T. Wilson. Although we as Sophomores were the objects of ridicule on the campus and in the classroom, we were respected on the athletic field. We won the championship both in class baseball and football. Our Junior year was entered upon with fifty-two men, a loss of only seven from the prex ' ious }-ear. We entered upon our work with determination, realizino- that we had run half our course. Our ofiicers this vear were: o President, J. L. Glenn; Vice-President, G. M. Crum; Secretary and Treasurer, R. S. Hill! During this year we were challenged to a public debate by the Sophomore class. We accepted the challenge, met them and won the debate. It was also in this year that an inter-collegiate debate with Davidson was held at Char- lotte, N. C, and a precedent established for its continuance. Mr. R. T. Wilson of our class was one of the debaters. We were now for the first time pri ' ileged to take part in the commence- ment exercises. Hitherto our oratorical events occurred before the end of the session. The Junior debate was held on the first night of commencement. The debaters were: R. L. Cox, J. L. Glenn, R. T. Wilson, and P. M. Hamer. At the end of this year we still held the baseball troph} ' cup, and the football championship by a percentage of one thousand. We have now come to our last year in college. Our number at the beginning of the session was forty-eight. Our officers are : President, G. M. Crum ; Vice-President, R. L. Meriwether ; Secretary and Treasurer, R. E. Moody ; Poet, B. S. Haynes ; Prophet, N. W. Edens ; Historian, F. C. Beach. On November 9th, 10th, and Uth the S. C. Inter-Collegiate Tennis Tournament was for the first time held here. One of Woft ' ord ' s represent- atives was from our class. Also our baseball team won for the third con- secutive year — the championship of the class games. The second annual debate with Davidson was held at Charlotte, N. C, on December 4th, and both the Woft ' ord debaters were from our class. The debate was spirited, and we were by a ' -ery narrow margin defeated. Our commencement speakers are : C. B. Haynes, R. T. Wilson, L. C. Wanna- maker, C. H. Witt, R. L. Cox, and R. L. Meriwether. We are now standing at the threshold of the world — of the life of greater responsibilities and opportunities. We are soon to separate and work out our lives as best we may. But wherever the vicissitudes of life may lead us, the spirit of unity which has ever characterized the class of nineteen hundred twelve shall lose none of its force, but shall grow stronger and stronger with the passage of the 3 ears. F. C. Beach, Flistorian. 41 Class ropl)rcp OU know I never did think that I was the kind of a fellow that conkl stand up under great responsibihties. accommodating spirit to enter my soul and predict great weaUh and happiness for my brilhant future. She charged me fifty cents for that. I ' m not chiarging vou anything fr r this. There must lie sometliing in what she said, l ecause I feel my mind growing more and more confused. A wild desire to do something crazy, rash, foolish, is permeating my entire cranial cavity. And why? The reason shrieks itself forth. A great responsiljility confronts me, the chance of a lifetime, an honor, a rare opportunity. Of course every (jne has heard of Wofford College and of the great class of 1912. Anv explanations about either would be superfluous — received with amused tolerance — because everyone knows all about WoiTord and that great class of 1912. Well, I am to write the prophec} ' of that class and it is slowly but surely exterminating the last faint spark of reason, never scintillating, that was allotted to me. It has alread} ' dri ' en me to drink. Say, did you ever read Edgar Allan Poe ' s poem, The Raven ? Well, it seems to me that there ' s something diabolically human about that bird. I never could understand wh} ' he couldn ' t say anything but ne -ermore. I belie ' e he could and did, but Poe was just t( )0 lazy to rite it down. Oh, say, I ' m raving! I get the ra ' en and the prophecy all mixed up — one seems the other, and the other something like it all mixed up together. I know what ' s the matter with me. I hang out up here in this stuflfy little room all the time, mooning o -er some darned old book when I ought to l)e out hax ' ing a good time. I ' m going right straiglit and look up the midnight crew, and if e don ' t make a night of it . A fortune-teller told me one time that I was a blamed freak, that I couldn ' t keep my mind concentrated on a dirty, little diamond-shaped paperweight long enough for a very 42 We won t come ' ome ' till mornin ' , ' cause we ' re ' avin ' an ' ell of a time. Oh, shay, you fellosh are a bunch of liars, ' cause I ' m ' ome now, and it ain ' t mornin ' yet. Good-night, fellosh of the great clash of 1912. Hey, you stair-steps, quit rompin ' around long enough for me to finish my travels! Gosh! Whatch ' s that? Sounds like the silkish, sad rustle of some curtain purple. Now, look here, you bloomin ' raven, you stay out of here. I ' m sleepy, and I don ' t want you ' nevermorin around disturbin ' my slumbers. Get t ' ell down from there; that ain ' t no bust of Pallas; that ' s a chorus girl. Watcher lookin ' for, anyhow? Don ' t be roamin ' around so much, and sit down over there on that dilapidated piece of furniture that the ' lectric light gloats over. Don ' t look- at me so ominous-eyed, you make my flesh crawl. Quoth the Raven: Say, kiddo, I se e right now. you ' ve got me sized up wrong. I ain ' t the kind of bird you think I am, by a long shot. You ' ve been bamboozled by those mutts who tried to make me out as some kind of a freak who couldn ' t say anything but ' Nevermore, ' and ' Beware, ' and a few other specially designed ' knee vibrators ' ! Now what do you know about that for consistency? The very idea of picturing me, a perfectly respectable raven, as not saying but one word while they were rantin ' around writing a whole slough of poetry ! Why, I nearly choke every time I think of the preposterousness of such a thing. But to come back to the real object of my visit. I came up here to write that Class Prophecy for you — I really like to do things like that for several reasons, the main ones being that I can convince those sceptical ones that there is such a thing as a spirit medium who can really see into the future, and at the same time help a poor, incompetent kid out of a bad hole — Say, you got a drink? That ' s some sure enough joy-juice. I never was strong for seraphim nectar, anyhow. That ' s all right; I ' ll drink out of the bottle. Get your pencil and paper, and write this down. Now, of course, I ' m not going into details, but I ' ll infer enough for an ordinarily precocious baby to catch the drift, and that ' s the long and short of it — AH! H. S. Burdette and H. N. Folk are before me. Burdette is tacking valuable signs for a jewelry company. Now, he is abroad. His mathematical mind is making his ability become recognized, 43 and lie is crowned ' Lord High Mathematician, to the King of England. ' He marries the tallest woman in the world, and still ' he is right stoop- shouldered from kissing her. Henry Folk is on the road selling Mellin ' s Food, and Complexion Powder. He would be placed on exhibition as an example, but he gets rattled and says crazy things. He may own a controlling interest in the concern some day if he doesn ' t marry a chorus girl with extravagant ideas. For the love of Mike! What is this? H it ' s not G. W. Whitaker trving to explain ' Darwin ' s Theory of E ' olution ' to a bunch of young Americans! The situation is really painful. Whit soon cjuits this kind of thing, thougli, and goes in for agriculture. He marries a poor little thing who doesn ' t know any better. She says that she never would have con- sented if old Whit had let her know what he was talking about l efore he grabbed her. The next vision is appearing slowly. Here it is at last — Cornelius Hildebrand Witt — studying law in Philadelphia. He is now taking notes. Rapidly dictating to fourteen stenographers at the same time. Now he is pleading a case. Reads a paragraph from a law book in less than an hour. Marries a nice Christian girl with a good throwing arm. I don ' t want to get strayed off, but vhere did you get that picture over there? The girl with the ' Grecian ' bend. Oh, Good Heavens! Here comes W. M. Moore. Selling a patent grace-producing corset. Gives exhibi- tions and explains how he came by his graceful figure. Marries an ex- artist, who still has a good eye for shapes. The next figure is rather indistinct, and undecided whether to show itself or not — Pelham Felder. Is con ' erted to the Christian faith three years after leaving college. In a short while he loses faith and falls. He then migrates to South America, and instructs the natives in the art of dancing and other delicate society stunts. Marries a great big girl with a fine scfueaky voice. It is rather dilficult for me to see all of this next one at the same time. Ah, now I have it focused — and it is Baby Haynes, selling a patented aut(.)m(ibile run by hot air. The bad thing about it is, however, he can ' t demonstrate without breaking the speed limit. Marries a quiet little girl who believes in predestination. 44 I wonder why I can ' t hold a bead on R. L. Cox long enough to tell what he is doing. Oh, I see ! it ' s because he is following preaching. He stops long enough occasionally . to rave about the pathology of society. Robert later stops all together and settles down, and immortalizes himself by writing a book on ' Horse Sense. ' Marries a society girl with foolish notions. Here is some excitement! I hear some one exclaim, ' Stay off my feet! ' I see a blow. A man lies bleeding in the gutter. Some one picks him up. It is Junie Willcox. However, he recovers from his wounds, and learns to turn his head a fraction without moving his body. He makes good as a civil engineer and marries an Italian toe dancer. You may be able to see some good in everything; take a look at Ralph Wilson and C. B. Haynes — two big corporation lawyers in partnership. Watch them trying to convince a jury that black is not always black, but sometimes green ; and again it may be red. They die and go to Hades ; have a big argument with the devil as to whether they shall shovel snow or work for the National Coal and Ice Company. My mind seems unable to dissociate itself from affairs of the infernals. I see Greenville in the midst of all its vice and wickedness. There is sud- denly a great change. A number of the leading men of the city are con- verted. It is all due to the marvelous missionary work of B. F. Cromley, who, nothing daunted at the immensity of his undertaking, is making good. He marries a blind girl whose instinct of perception was inhibited. D. D. Grant forces himself upon me. He can ' t be persuaded that he is the ' White Hope, ' but goes into stringent training anyhow, and teaches school ; marries a patriotic girl who is strong for woman ' s rights. I hear a great commotion, bands playing, people yelling, riotous ex- citement ! I see a great playhouse in which a musical comedy is in full sway. The comedian is making a great hit. It is Arthur Ayers. His every expres- sion provokes spontaneous outbursts of mirth. Marries a sad-faced kid who had been brought up in a convent. While thinking of funny things, Jimmy Nelson pops up. I see him straining furiously at an obstinate tooth securely anchored in the head of a great big lady. He gets the tooth and part of the jawbone out. This is an example of his persistence and thoroughness. He is attracted by the personality of the professional fat lady in a dime museum and marries her. 45 Well, I swan ! Phil Hanier doesn ' t look like a thing but a lantern- jawed old grouch ; but he loses his jol) teaching school on account of his effervescing sense of humor. To carry out the joke he marries a suffragette. Their meal-time exchange of compliments would make the professional funny man ashamed of himself. What is that scintillating oljject over yonder? Oh, yes! It ' s Roy Griffin ' s head. He is making a stump speech at a farmers ' reunion. He is elected to the legislature, and later to Congress, on the prohibition ticket. But in the next election he is defeated, because he can ' t explain to the voters ' wives how he happened to roll down three flights of steps into the hotel lobby one night when returning from a dinner. He marries a In-unette, who al va ' s had a hankering after red hair. Now she ' s got it — or most of it. Look who ' s here — R. D. Guilds, Major-General of the Salvation Army, Tliird Regiment, Company Thirteen. He wears his hair longer than e -er, and pulls it more down over his eyes to make him look shaggy, like he had just come out of the wilderness into the promised land. He sings to the time of a drum, and takes up collection with his little red cap. Finally marries the foxy little girl who pounds the drum and sings tenor for him. . I was hoping against hope that I wouldn ' t have to handle a profession like Rube Moody ' s. He starts out managing the editorial department of a big newspaper. Has seven scraps the first week. The victims of Rube ' s caustic editorials try a different plan. Now Rube has a whole paper of his own. He marries a Holiness convertee and uses her wild mutterings for socialistic theories. Bless my soul, if here is not a race fit for the gods! Rick Holroyd pursuing the classics. Rick is evidently out of training and is left in the lurch. But he marries a good-looking contortionist and they have set the vaudeville world on fire. What ' s the matter here? This one jumps around so I can ' t tell who he is. Grady Davis, by all that ' s holy! Is elected president of the United States on the suffragette ticket. Gets excited at ' ' the inauguration and hugs a miniature ' Goddess of Liberty. ' Marries a woman who doesn ' t believe anything is impossible, not even perpetual motion. 46 Now here ' s something different from anything we have struck yet — H. DuPre High, Immigration Inspector in San Francisco. You ought to see him lording it over those Chinks. He gets on fine until one of them takes a swipe at him with a big old dope pipe, then he quits; marries a grass- widow, and goes to alfalfa farming. Nut Hazel is working on an invention, a method by which you won ' t have to push the electric button to make the bell ring. Just think you want it to ring and — ' ting-a-ling. ' He makes a fortune out of this invention, and buys a whole dog-gone college, and runs it to suit himself. Doesn ' t get married, because he can ' t find a woman up to his conception of what his wife ought to be. What ' s all that. commotion ? Well, if it ' s not Maurice Lawson, turning this old world over! He has figured out how many steps there are between Spartanburg and paradise ; has counted the angels in hea ' en and the demons in hell. Marries a two hundred and fifty-pounder because he has calculated how much she is going to cost him and he wants to get his money ' s worth. Larkin Carter starts out as a book agent, and learns to manage a superfluity of ' whys ' and ' wherefores ' , and a whole lot of ability to carry on a big conversation about nothing much. He is now representing Wofford University ' s Department of Law in the South, with headquarters in Atlanta, Ga. He marries a frivolous-minded, inconsiderate kind of a girl, who insists upon traveling around with him. Well, Doctor! P. P. Jones has the stand. P. P. begins business as a government employee in Washington. He soon knows e ' erything anybody associated with him knows, on account of his indefatigable interrogative ability. Consequently his advancement is rapid in information. Marries a girl who is tired of the hurly-burly and bustle of life and wants to settle down. Great Caesar ' s Ghost! Look at P. B. Yarbrough doing the ' green goods ' stunt! The only and original con ' man! Beside him J. Rufus Wallingford would look like a chronic dyspeptic at a Sunday-school picnic. He sells a million dollars ' worth of stock in a painless safety razor concern, and makes a get-away. Marries the head waitress in a summer resort hotel, and serves the rest of his life waiting. 47 I thought I was going to quit, but you ' ll have to give me just one more big drink, because here comes ' King Pool-oo Ellerl e. He is painting the Philippine Islands a Ih ' kl hue. The atmosphere, naturally rather torrid down there, is actually incandescent in spots where King Pool-oo is. King goes to the Philippines to go into the ci -il service, but he doesn ' t like the distorted meaning of that word ci -il. He goes over to South America, and plays the President of Zanzib(30 a game of pool for his iob. Pool-oo is now sure enough King. He marries the daughter of a coffee grower, who had never seen a white man before. It is really C()ntagious, that smile of Caston Wannamaker ' s. No one can resist the translucent rays of sunshine radiating from that iovful map of his, and that ' s the reason he is such a power in the state. He marries a girl who looks u])on matrimony strictly from a business point of ' iew. What unearthly noise is diat ? Something funny has happened in the proximity of Bill Ouzts. Bill is working in the United States mint, and seems delighted with his jol). There is a scar on his forehead where some- body hit him with a fifty-dollar gold piece the first time he laughed. Marries a lady famous for her lovable hands. Wlio is that serious-faced, happy-looking guy o ' er vonder all bv his lonesome, with a book on ' Modern Banking ' in one hand and ' Puck ' and ' Judge ' in the other? Now you might know it ' s old Fritz Beach. Fritz jumps right into the banking business, but he can ' t do all the work himself, and he can ' t keep any assistants on account of his jokes. He has nearly worn out the adding machine getting oft puns on it. Doesn ' t marry because, all the girls know the fate of tlie adding machine. Here ' s a noble piece of nature ' s handiwork — Milt Crum. Always inclined towards philanthrop} ' , he decides that the best way to aid humanity is by doing something for the children. So he builds a school for millionaires ' sons, where they will be brought up in an economic way with that principle instilled in them. Milt ' s wife is a sweet-tempered little woman who believes what is, must be; so she doesn ' t often rue the day tliat cast old Milt in her vay. This next freak doesn ' t stav in one place long enough for me to get a line on him. It ' s Mike Rice, touring the world. In each town he amuses 48 the natives by vocal solos and other musical discourses. When their souls can ' t be touched in this manner, Mike has a well-prepared specialty which is labeled ' New Orleans. ' He may get married later, but now he doesn ' t stay in one place long enough to do more than make a great l ig hit. What the Hec ! Sure ' nough, bo! I ' d raise a window over there, this air is getting bad — Rufus Hill, president of the board of health of a good- sized town. You ought to see that ' burg! ' No kind of a germ will come within four miles of it, and as for bacteria, there are just three left, and they are outlawed. God pity the poor lass that draws Rufie for a life-long help-meet ! It does my soul good to look on a scene like this — endless areas of green, waving corn and greasy-green cotton. A big, comfortable-looking home, and Jim Kay and his family on the veranda. Jimmy Junior ' s nose is straight, however. Now here ' s some sure enough excitement. I see the angry faces of a mob of men, in the midst of which is discernible the terror-stricken visage of a negro. They are going to lynch him ; the noose is adjusted, but just at the psychological moment there appears on the scene, Roy All. He speaks a few words to the excited multitude. His eloquence and the nobleness of his personality are invincible, and law and order are quickly reinstated. He marries an artistically constructed, plump little girl whose range of acquaint- ance was rather limited. Speaking about big noises and so forth, Rice Nickels thinks he wants to be a lawyer, but in a generous frame of mind decides that his eloquence would cause numerous miscarriages of justice, and that he just won ' t stand for anything of the kind. He goes into the automobile business, and special- izes oh racers. This life soon becomes too slow for Rice, however, and he goes in for aeroplaning. Here ' s his ' epitaph: ' Here lies Husky, On that Shore — Told of yore ; Physics, Pipes, TuUey, E. M. F., Confidence, Baseball, and Roller-Skates. May he reunite again with his old playmates. ' 49 Here ' s a scene at Monte Carlo. What smiling young Viking is that over yonder playing the roulette wheel so recklessly? A streak of luck is with him. He breaks the bank, and gi ' es the whole amount to foreign missions. There ' s something familiar about that tow-head and satisfied smile. It ' s Pud Glenn or I ' m a Dutchman. Pud says you can ' t understand the ' whys ' unless you kn(_)w the ' hows, ' .and since he may be in a position some day to appreciate a peculiar circumstance, he forced himself into some diversified experiences. He marries a passing fair lady, and if their domestic life is as pleasant as his CA ery-day smile they are some happy. Hark! What is that sound of re ' elry by night? It ' s Ben Badger and Charlie Zimmerman coming home from down town. Ben and Charlie both seem to have a hankering after railroading, so they start at the bottom and sing themselves up to the top. They consolidate the Glenn Springs Special and the C. and W. C. Charlie is president, and Ben is the company attorney. Ben and Charlie are both lucky in the great lottery of matrimony, and life for them is one joyful song. J. E. McKenzie is in the wholesale grocery business. He doesn ' t have to advertise his wares, because they speak for themselves. He marries a deaf and dumb girl, so he doesn ' t have to call her, just motions to her. Jack Moody is instructing in a physical culture school. This thing of training young .Vmerica how to jump and turn somersaults soon palls on Jack, and he leaves to accept a position managing wild animals in a traveling- circus. He marries the snake charmer, and settles down to the quiet routine of circus life. Who is that gooddooking rascal? If it ' s not Robert Mclver ! Mac disregards his possibilities in the ]:)usiness world and studies medicine. He finishes and moves to Utah. Always (|uick to grasp an opportunity, he opens up a children ' s furnishing store. Mac marries a good many wives of ' arious degrees of size and beautv, and still his possibilities are not much diminished. Well, I ' ll be dog-goned if here is not Bob Meriwether ' s name at the bottom of a magazine story. Now I find it on the front side of a popular novel. The critics say Bob ' s literary attempts would be a whole lot better if they were not so much like his general line of dope. He marries a smart little girl, who wears heavy green glasses, and talks of what she might have done. Bob has since re-written ' Dante ' s Inferno, ' with reminiscences from domestic life. Oh, my soul ! W iat a wallop ! BoId Walker begins playing big league baseball, but sees there is nothing to it, so he goes into the mill business, and rises rapidly. The presidency is vacant and the jol3 lies Ijetween Bob and one other fellow. They play showdown for the position. Bob is now president of the mill. He wins the heart of a hero-worshiping girl and marries her. Say, did you ever read ' Marquis of Oueensbury ' rules? Well, that ' s all rio-ht in its line, but if vou want to read a masterpiece, just buy a copy of Moseley ' s book on ' Etiquette. Carlos is shocked at the utterly impossible manners of some people, and decides that it ' s up to him to correct them. His vocation brings him into contact with a great many swell society belles, and he always makes a hit ; but he doesn ' t marry yet, because they all can ' t marry him, and he doesn ' t want to break anybody ' s heart. That ' s about all, isn ' t it? Oh, yes — Walser Edens. He . . . That ' s all right about that fellow Edens. Mr. Raven. I wouldn ' t write down what you were going to say al out liim anyhow. You don ' t know how much I do appreciate your doing this for me. I don ' t believe I ever would have gotten up the ner ' e to say some of the things about these fellows that you did. That ' s all right, kiddo ; don ' t mention it. Good-night. N. Walser Edens, Prophet. 51 VV- W. JENKINS L. N. WATSON T. B. HUMPHRIES J. E. BETH E A _ President Vice-President Secretary and Treasurer Historian 52 f unior Class flistorp HE writers of modern history take us back into the past, and impress the events of importance on our minds that th ' ey may show us the foundation upon which the structure of present- day history is built. Our present hist(n-y is based on the noble deeds and ambitions of the past, and our present and future history should be a step higher in our development. When we were leaving home for the first time the thought of breaking the happy ties of childhood and launching forth on the sea of strenuous college life filled our minds with sadness. It was a turning point in our career. How well we remember the shrill whistle of the locomoti ' e as it announced our destination : the wild throbbing of hearts as we nerx ously left our seats and caught our first glimpse of the burg; the noisy uproar as tlie old students greeted their friends; and the thought of the welcome that was awaiting us. We were ignorant of this ,new life, and for a few months we well carried a coat of green, ])ut with time we soon came to know it thoroughly, and to appreciate it. We entered facing the raised standard, and the way we carried out our tasks proved it to be a successful experiment. We were few in numbers, but Ijefore the year was over we proved that quality was ours. In athletics, though handicapped by inexperience, we made a fine record. Our class furnished five men for the varsity baseball team. Our basket- ball team made a good record. In football our team made good. The Freshman Exhibition proved a big success. The fortunate speakers were, the Sims Twins, Henderson, Hodges, Hyer and Jenkins. This was a splendid exhibition, and in every way showed the quality of the class of T3. In the fall of Tl we were glad to return as Sophomores. After putting the new men through their paces, we got clown to work. This proved a great year ; we worked with a ' im, and we carried out things in a Sophomore ' s way. Our officers were: Stilwell, President; Spigner, Vice-President, and Henderson, Secretary and Treasurer. This was not a very successful year in athletics, yet it was not a failure. In football our team did not show the spirit, and our record was poor. We did well in basket-ball with Steele and Herlong as leaders. In baseball we made our best showing. Our record was three games won and one lost. 54 Our oratorical events were carried out in great style. For the Sopho- more Exhibition we elected Jenkins, Moore, Herlong, H odges and H. R. Sims. Considerable interest was shown in this contest, and it well deserved credit. We challenged the Juniors to a joint debate so as to train men for the inter-collegiate debates in which Wofford was interested. This proved a big success, and reflected special credit upon those who proposed and carried out the debate. Soon we were on the campus as Juniors, and no one except a Junior can realize the change from the Freshman-Sophomore rivalry to the dignity of an upper classman. We recognized that we had reached a point in college life in which we must look into the future, or turn our backs on opportunity and achievement. It was the high-water mark of our college course, and a glimpse from boyhood into manhood. As officers to guide us through this great year we elected Jenkins, President ; Watson, Vice-President ; and Humphries, Secretary and Treasurer. Next we turned to athletics. With Green as Captain, and Spigner as Manager, our football team proved a winner. The team showed the spirit, and the championship was ours, for we were without a rival capable of drawing out our real strength. Our basket-ball team made good. In base- ball we had a splendid season. We were close contestants for the cup. We were leaders in tennis, having the college representative in singles. Our class has furnished several valuable men for the college track team. The regular Junior debate proves to be a great success. The men elected are: Easterling and Hyer from the Calhoun; Sims and Madden from the Preston ; Herlong and ' Kelley from the Carlisle. From this election we can well judge that it will add new honor to the class. Our Junior year has been a splendid year. Well have we carried out our events and ambitions, and now we are looking forward to our success as Seniors. In our high standard of college work we have united class spirit and class unity as a part. We possess true class spirit, and with our class taking part in all branches of college w ork, our college spirit of a true and faithful type can be seen. Our spirit has aided in our great success, not only m athletics, but in the literary events of our class. In the past we have neglected many opportunities, but we feel that we have accomplished much for the standard of Wofford. Summed up, our past history presents an enviable position as to constancy and loyalty to our class. In our happiness nothing else remains but to achieve and nobly strive to attain more than any other Junior class has yet attained, so that in the course of time its great and glorious history will stand as a monument to its achievements.

However, although of the class of ' 14, we shall endeavor to write this history from an altogether disinterested standpoint. The history of the class of ' 14 began September 20, 1910. Then we were a group of Freshmen, homesick and inexperienced, utterly devoid of all class unity. Our peculiar feeling of strangeness was furdier increased by seeing the older boys, all over the campus, greeting and welcoming each other. But as we came to learn them, and saw how earnest was their desire for us to be as one of them, the feeling wore away. As has been mentioned, the class at first was without even the semblance of unity, but after the election of officers, it began to assume a well organized and governed aspect. Thus even in its infancy the class surpassed the highest expectations of even its most sanguine members, and gave sign of. becoming one of the best and most influential classes Wofford has ever produced. Under the leadership and influence of its officers, the class began to participate heartily in every phase of college Hfe. On the athletic field, in literary society, and in class work, our men could be seen doing conscientious and very often brilliant work. Finally the long-expected vacation came, and every one returned home to a well earned rest. But so enthusiastic did we wax in the praise of our class, that we entered our Sophomore year with even more members than we had on leaving, three months before. Then began again our task of making history. Borne on by class spirit, and ably led by our officers, Brice, President ; Cauthen, Vice- President ; Bethea, Secretary; and Burch, Treasurer, we completed the process of welding our class into a unified body. Realizing that we were expected to uphold the high standard of eloquence that was attained by our Freshman orators, we elected as Sophomore speakers, Fairey and Hulf from the Calhoun Society; Garris and Fort from the Carlisle Society; and Herbert and Moyer from the Preston Society. Although there is no competi- tion in this afifair, still there is so much interest displayed, that it is certain the speakers will reflect honor, both on themselves and on the class. In athletics we are, and always will be, prominent. Baseball alone is our weak point. In football our class is distinguished, the Junior-Soph team defeating the Senior-Fresh team in the annual Thanksgiving game. On the varsity basket-ball team we have two men. Two pleasant years have been laid behind us, and, judging by past events, two years just as pleasant stretch out before us. May we continue to grow and develop and may our history be as bright in the succeeding years as it has been in the past. Wm. H. Smith, Historian. 59 opftomote Cla00 doll ALEXANDER, W. W Woodruff, S.

THROWER Historian 62 Jfre6i)man Class llistorp HEN this Freshman class first appeared on Wofford campus, we were as green as any crowd of bo} ' s could be. Very soon after our arrival, a very peculiar malady broke out among us. It affected us in ' arious ways. On some it caused nothing more than a gloomy countenance. In others it took the form of fever, ])neumrinia, smallpox, and innumerable other diseases. A physician was sum- moned and he pronounced this peculiar plague as old-time home-sickness — nothing more. This disease has now about disappeared. There are still a few cases of greenness, but even these have shown improvement. We soon got climatized, and elected our class officers, who are as follows: Townsend, President ; Darby, Vice-President ; and Ayer, Secretary. Our class has the honor of at least one thing w hich no other class in college ever liad wlien it was in our stage of growth. This thing is the honor system. After a snappy debate on both sides the honor system was adopted by a large majority. y-Vthletics has been very important in the de -elopment of our class. We formed a Ijasel all team with Harley, Captain, and King, C, JManager ; a football team with Muldrow, Captain, and Thompson, Manager; a basket- ball team with Harley, Captain, and Townsend, Manager. Taking into con- sideration the training which our members had before entering college, our teams did very nice work. This was demonstrated in various ways. But we still have plenty of room for improvement. Let some of these im- provements be made by next year and we shall have a fairly good football team. The same may be said of baseball and basket-ball. We have had very little trouble with the Sophomores, although it can not be said that we did not have any. We are told that we need a little hazing to convince us that we are Freshmen. The Freshman class challenged the Sophomores for a delmte. They refused the offer, whether from motives of contempt or fear, we know not. It was whispered that it was the latter — probably so. We have some good friends among the Sophomores. They will be long remembered. The speakers for the Freshman Exhibition have been chosen. They were selected after a preliminary in each of the three societies, there being two speakers from each society. They are as follows : Calhoun Society, Rice and Smith ; Carlisle Society, Syfan and Thrower ; Preston Society, Stuckey and Kearse. The Freshmen, as a class, are doing fairly good work in each of the three societies. In the classroom we have done fairly good work. The professors have been kind and i atient with us in spite of our ignorance, and we feel that in Wofford College we have an ideal school. As our shear ' s work drawls to a close, we feel that although we have not been a model class, we have done our best, Let us pull together and make each succeeding year in our college course better than the one before.

But, alas! the seene is changing, and another light I see, IVliich doth shine ■a ' ith equal grandeur, sliedding golden ra s on me. And a sound of rushing -leaters, running through my inmost soul, Auid I see the forked lightning, hear the distant thunder roll. But icith this the beaeoiu vanished, vanished azcay into space, Ami I felt no more their presence, nor their light upon my face. Yet somczvliere far in the future, I ivill then quite understand , Which zvill pilot me the better, o ' er the rocky, barren strand. 80 9ln Huntiretrfolti OT as it was in the car of the httle local train, even this was preferable to the smoke and cinders that poured in the instant a window was raised. In desperation March rose from his seat and went to the rear platform ; the sight of the young crops baking in the June sun was uninviting enough, but he could at least get a breath of fresh air, and he determined to hnish the journey there. The train slowed down to a stop, and to his ears there came a chorus of feminine good-byes. The train started again and was getting well under way when a young man came hurriedly out. As he brushed by him March glanced at his face, then seized him by the shoulder, exclaiming as he did so : Not going to speak to me, old man? The other turned, and seeing, who it was grasped the outstretched hand. Russ March, as Tm alive! then his words tripped over each other in their hurrv. Say, why weren ' t you back there in the car so I could have introduced you to my cousin? She ' s going as far as Ring Junction on this train, and you two could make the trip pleasant for each other. Go back and introduce yourself, and tell her I sent you. So long. He was swinging far down towards the ground, and as he jerked out the last words he stepped off. Just like Jack Thornton, March muttered to himself as he waved his hand in a parting salute, told me to introduce myself to his cousin and I don ' t know whether her name is Thornton or not. Half uncertain what to do, he walked back into the car. At a glance he singled her out, for the well-poised little head, among, rather than al)ove, whose locks the little hat sat with such jaunty precision, was in marked contrast with the appearance of the others in the car. From his seat across the aisle just back of her March studied her side face, critically at first, then in growing, though unconscious, admiration. Evidently becoming aware of his continued gaze, she turned her head slightly, and he looked into a pair of brown eyes that gave her an added grace. In his glance there was nothing to cause offense, but that she felt the flattery was evident, for the rich color of her cheek deepened as she tvumed cjuickly away. To go over now and introduce himself with the explanation that Thornton had forgotten to give him her name would sound like a flimsy excuse, and he racked his brain to find a plan. When the conductor came by for her ticket, she asked him if she would make connection at Ring Junction, and if there would be time enough to have her trunk transferred. The conductor shortly replied that she w ould barely have time to get on the other train herself, and that her trunk would have to wait over until next day. As he saw her disappointment a plan sprang into vague form in March ' s mind ; he glanced at his watch. They would reach Ring Junction in about 81 fifteen minutes. From the rack above he brought down his suit-case, and taking from it a small cup, he joined the numbers vh(3 were constantly going to the water-cooler at the rear of the car. Seated on the railing of the platform outside, he watched through the open door, and finally, behind several others, he saw a brown-clad figure start down the aisle. The one just ahead of her was a rough backwoodsman, whose unkempt beard was in keeping with his general appearance. It was too much ; she watched him drink from the glass, and turned suddenly ' away. Won ' t you tr} this? March Ijowed with utmost deference, as he asked the question, at the same time holding the dainty silver cup suggestively under the faucet. Thank you so much, and she accepted the cup without hesitation, I was about to give it up. Ring Junction, called the porter as he thrust his head in at the forward door, but neither of the two heard him. The water was ice-cold, and despite her thirst, the girl paused for breath before she finished. March smiled as she looked up- Rather a contrast with the temperature in this place, isn ' t it? he asked I hope I ' ll never have to travel on such a train again when it is as hot as this. Do you know how far it is to Ring Junction? The train had come to a stop. The next station, I think, answered March. But when he glanced through the window a startled exclamation escaped him, for there on the other track, thirty yards away, was the waiting east- bound train. He turned quickly to the girl. This is Ring Junction now; where do you want vour ticket to? To Colton, but Give me your trunk check, he interrupted, and get on the other train; I will get } ' our ticket. She started to protest, Init there was no tim for delay, and hastily opening the purse which hung on her arm she gave the check to him. Without waiting to help her off the train he ran down the steps ; the porter of the east- bound was throwing in the last few pieces of baggage. March ran up to the front of his own train and seized the porter. Get that trunk on the train yonder, and he thrust the check in his hand, then get my suit-case out of the car here and put it in the smoker of the eastbound. See here? and he showed him a dollar I)ill. Without a word the porter dashed forward toward the baggage car. Inside the station March found the agent and a freckled- faced boy of about fourteen. Two tickets to Colton, he said to the agent, then turned cjuickly to the boy, Put a check on that trunk that ' s being ]xit on the eastbound, will you? and he handed him the check with a quarter on it. Yessir, answered the boy; and seizing a check, he scrawled the name upon it, tore off the duplicate, gave it to March and dived out of the door. 82 Five-ten, announced the agent as he hastily wrote Colton on the second ticket. The bell of the eastbound was ringing. March laid down a five-dollar bill and a dime; took the tickets and went to the door. A sweating porter carrying a suit-case was running across to the already moving train; from the baggage car door a freckled-faced l)oy was just scrambling to the ground. As he reached the step March met the porter coming down, and gave the grinning African the promised bill. On entering the crowded car he glanced down the aisle, and saw near the other end a girl dressed in brown, who stood by the window and looked his way in anxious expectation. She smiled in unfeigned pleasure and relief as he came to where she stood and handed her a ticket and a triuik check. We made it after all, he said, laughing easily. Thanks to your energy and wonderful command over men and cir- cumstances. I don ' t see how you did it. She sat down next the window and he took his seat beside her. Where are you Oh, T almost forgot, she opened her purse and taking a card from it she handed it to him. From his pocket he instantly extracted another and presented it. Mr. March, delighted! Miss Etherton, more so! And they bowed in mock gravity. The smooth pounding of the wheels came to their ears in a high, tenor monotone, interspersed occasionally with the shrill blast from the engine. The swift breeze from the open window blew the waving locks about the girl ' s face and athwart her eyes as though to hide the sparkle and flash of their abounding life. March ' s manner, instinct with grace and courtesy, was such as to admit of naught save perfect confidence ; his humor, spiced with a keen wit, never flagged, and on her part the response was unfailing. The train was pulling into a small city, when March suddenly excused himself to go forward to the smoker and put the cup, which he still had in his pocket, in his suit-case. As the train stopped at the station, she saw the porter run up the street about forty yards, dive into a door over which hung the sign Huyler ' s reappear in a moment with a package under his arm, and dash for the moving train. In putting the cup in the suit-case I came across this, March remarked a minute later as he handed her the tAvo-pound box, I thought it nu ' ght serve the purpose of a Hght lunch at least. An irrepressible smile hovered about her lips as she glanced up and thanked him, but his gravity remained unshaken. But won ' t somebody be disappointed? she asked. He shook his head, For a friend, he explained, I can just tell him I forgot it, and he will never l)e the wiser. It was nearing sunset when they reached Colton. Again her train was waiting, the one which was to take her to her home twenty miles away. There 83 was time enough now, however, and her trunk was safely in the baggage car as he stood by the seat and, for the second time that day, gave her a ticket and a check, while she gave him the three dollars he had paid for the two tickets. The bell of the other train was ringing, and with a hurried good-bye in which there was the suggestion that they would see each other again, he was gone. As he walked over, the westbound train was m sight He got his suit- case from the smoker, swung off from the other side of tlie train, and going into the station bought a ticket for Ring Junction. And the next day Jack Thornton received a long letter m which there was much explanation and, in addition, a request for aid. Then he, too. became lost in thought until the light of the wished-for idea flashed into his mind. It was T dy, but the stately old Thornton home was close bv the ri ' er, and sliaded all day long as it was by the noble trees, evening found it de- lightfully cool. Out on the shadowy piazza, and in the brightly lighted hall and reception room, were scattered the eleven guests of the house party, and every word and movement bespoke the joyous enthusiasm of a splendid time just begun. The twelfth guest, the last to arrive, had just come down to be introduced to the others. As he stood waiting for Thornton, March watched the scene from tlie landing of the stairs. Five as pretty girls as he had seen in a year, all appearing to be between eighteen and twenty-one, were entertain- ing, or being entertained by, five young men who seemed fully equal to the occasion. The hostess, Mrs. Thornton, Jack ' s mother, and her gray but still youthful husband, moved about among the guests and seemed to enjoy it as much as any. The sixth ' girl March did not at first see, but finally the moving aside of the curtain of an alcove in the further side of the room showed her to him. The elaborate evening gown was far different from the simple brown travel- ing suit, but the figure and its accompanying grace were the same. She was talking to a fine-looking lilackdiaired fellow, who, to judge from her frequent laughter and the willing ear that she lent, must have been a prince of enter- tainers. As he came down the stairs Jack Thornton noted his friend ' s absorption and hardly needed to see what was the object of his gaze. With his hand on March ' s shoulder he carried him over and introduced him to his father and mother, then to the guests in turn. We are holding an informal reception to-night, he explained, as he started across to introduce him to the sixth girl, so everybody can get ac- quainted, for about half of them have never seen each other before. Elizabeth - 84 She looked up suddenly to see the two standing near her, March smiling. Thornton grinning broadly. You have met my friend, Russell Marsh before, haven ' t you? It was the first intimation she had had of who the twelfth guest was. The color flew brightly to her cheeks, her eyes opened wide and her lips parted in her mute astonishment. But only for a moment was she at a loss, and she sprang to her feet and shook hands with him in hearty welcome. The next moment Thornton was leading Wilson away, and March was sitting on the sofa beside her. And you knew Jack Thornton at college — and saw him on the train that day — and didn ' t say anything to me about it — and now he hasn ' t said a word about it either, up till this very minute — the whole thing is a mix-up to me! What did you both mean anyhow? March laughed. Jack forgot to tell me your name that day. and on what excuse could I have gone up and introduced myself? You wouldn ' t have believed a word of it, especially after you caught me looking at you from across the aisle; you ' d have called the conductor to put me off the train. And afterward, I hardly had time, we were so busy making connections with trains. As for Jack ' s part, I suppose he just wanted to give you a little surprise. She shook her head. That doesn ' t explain it. Never mind, I ' ll make Jack Thornton wish he had told me more about it. And I? She paid no attention to his question, but looked keenly at him, while a mischievous smile played about her lips. When we got off the train at Ring Junction, why did the conductor call after you that you had gotten off at the wrong place? He looked at her in the mild surprise of perfect innocence. I didn ' t hear him ; he must have gotten things mixed up. I see, and she nodded understandingly ; then she frowned as though in further perplexity. After the eastbound train moved off from Colton, I thought I saw you get on the westbound. You didn ' t miss your train, did you? Oh, no, he assured her, I had plenty of time. Then he lauglied in frank confession. Anything else you want to ask? I don ' t see any use, though, for you know it all anyhow. The smile still curved the corners of her mouth, while in her eyes the light of mischief gleamed even more. She shook her iinger at him. You and Jack are a nice pair,, practicing such deceit on just a girl ; something is sure to happen to you both for it. For the ten days of the party the god of mirth seemed to have been crowned supreme. All forms of indoor amusement met with the favor of the guests, while outside they rowed on the river, walked through the shaded wood, and drove long miles through the beautiful country, and teased and 85 bantered each other unceasingly. The gayest of them all was Elizabeth Etherton, and her spirits, of a truth, seemed untiring. Of the six men she seemed to like best the one she was with at the time, and she never lacked attention, though March and Wilson were with her most. March was determined to be in accord with the spirit of the party, and there was none to surpass him. But it was Elizabeth toward whom his thought was directed. Sometimes with genial humor, again with mild satire or mock seriousness, he matched himself against her. And with ever- increasing determination he strove with all the art he was capable to catch her off her guard, and to penetrate the apparently thoughtless mask of gaiety with wliich she had armerl herself. And though she baffled him at every point, still at times he felt that the effort had not been in vain, while every day that passed made the spell upon him stronger. But the sustained gaietv was unnatural to liim, and, in a way, he felt a relief when the time liegan to draw to a close. Do you remember what you said that first night al)out getting even with Jack? He was sitting with Elizabeth on a rustic bench a few yards from the house ; it was the last night ; in a few minutes they would have to go inside, and he left at three o ' clock next mornino-. Her slight nod in re])ly to his question was barely perceptible in the dark- ness. He leaned closer in the endeavor to catch the expression in her eyes, and his voice grew suddenly serious. Sometimes rluring this ten days I have thought that you were acting as you have done jtrst to ' pay me back ' . If so, I take off my hat to you, and freely admit tliat you have, tliree, five, an hundredfold. But then again I feared tliat it was for another reason. You saw all along what T meant as plainly as though it had been written on my forehead, and I thought perhaps you did so to show me that my eff ' ort was useless. 1 11 me, what did you mean? There was a trem()r in lier voice as she answered in a low tone, and she turned away or lie would have seen the tears that rose to lier eyes. How could I treat you dift ' erently from the others? Would you have had me acting sentimentally before the whole ])arty? He saw, as he tliought, a triumphant smile on her lips, and the ambiguous words were suddenly placed in an utterly different light. His overstrained nerves snapped, and he sprang to his feet in all the anger of a bitterly wounded pride and love, as he thought he saw through the plan of a coquette. Good Lord! he muttered to himself between his teeth, what a fool I liave made of myself! You have done well. Miss Etherton, he said sardonically, as she slowly arose, shall we go inside? Silently they went up the w alk, and at the steps he perfunctorily took her arm. At the top he paused, and looked down at her. 86 Miss Etherton, he said slowly, but in a firm voice, I want to apologize for the way in which I spoke just now ; there has been nothing whatever in anything you have said or done to warrant any assumption on my part, and I should have been gentleman enough to admit it. The anger had died out of his voice, his face was white and drawn, and in his eyes was still a great question. She had looked up as ' he first spoke. The light from the hall shone on her face, and he saw her lips suddenly quiver, nor was tliere any darkness now to hide the meaning. Elizabeth — tell me again, what Her low laugh still had a tremor in it, but the mischievious light had come back in her eves. Well? What a fool I have made of myself ! R. L. M., T2. Heception at Converse The girls are nervous and flustered the whole of the day, And they give funny answers to what you may say ; They are apt to forget what they ought to ha ' e clone, And they never half finish the job they ' ve begun. They will sugar their meats and put salt in their tea. And eat soup with their forks, just as calm as can be. Why, I reckon they can ' t do a single thing right. When the boys go down on Reception night. They are good to us kids, just as pleasant as pie — And they laugh, when I ne ' er can figure out why. They turn red as a rose at nothing at all When one of the girls asks if certain ones will call. Then another says, You stop that ! Don ' t mind her, my dear, I won ' t have Mary teased, Susie Brown, do you hear? And they ' ll run off, and they ' ll stay out of sight Until the boys all arrive on Reception night. They go to their rooms with their hair all in crimps. And they ' ll primp, and they ' ll primp, and they ' ll primp, and they ' ll primp ; It ' s a couple of hours before they ' ll come down. And then they are all dressed in their best Sunday gown; And they ' re fixed up with ribbons, and fixed up with lace, And ril bet you my head they ' ve powdered their face. I can ' t tell you any more, for they turn down the light When the boys go down on Reception night. Allen, ' 14. 87 a 3 imr of a JHotirrn tutient (With Apologies to Mr. Coleridge, Prof. Clinkscales and the Student) By R. E. MOODY Illustrated by J P. Wharton argument How Professor Clink, having gone out one summer looking for freshmen, was driven by storms into the wild countr} ' of Horry; and how from thence he sent up a specimen of that land to Wofford; and of the strange things that befell him during his four years there ; and in what manner the author was constrained to tell this story. Part I. It is an old Professor And he ' s captured one of three, And by his long red hair and flashing eye He ' s a Rube from wild Plarr}-. He holds liim with liis skinn} hand, There is a place, quoth he. Hold off! Unhand me, bald-head loon ! Eftsoons his hand dropt he. He holds him with his glittering eye. The countryman stands still And listens like a three years ' child; Tlie old man hath his will. The wild one sat upon a log. He cannot choose but list ; And then spake on that ancient man. Professor Clink, I wist. An old Profes- sor meetetli three Rubes and catcheth one. The country- man is spell- bound by the eye of the old man, and con- strained to hear his tale. Part H. That boy rose up that very night ; Out of those woods came he, And made his way to Spartanburg, That wonderful place to see. He found the atmosphere the same. But no dog his heels to follow, Nor any pigs at eventide To come when he did hollo. 88 The boy is per- suaded by the old Professor to go to Spar- tanburg. His soul crieth out against the old man for getting him to come to Wofford. He is drawn by a storm into divers directions. He despiseth the creatures of the storm. There appear- eth an object in the sky afar off. At its nearer approach, it seemeth to be human ; and assumeth some importance. Alone, alone, all, all alone, Alone on a wide, wide sea! And never a one took pity on His soul in agony. He felt he ' d done an hellish thing. And it would work him woe ; But he was only homesick then. And did not long feel so ; For ' twas not long before he went Where ' er he wished to go. ' But he ' d walk like one upon a road Both walk in fear and dread. And having once turned round walks on. And turns no more his head. Because he knows a frightful fiend Doth close behind hint tread. Alas! the storm l last for him had come, ' Twas tyrannous and dark ; They painted liim, then warmed him up, Then chased him ' round the park. He looked upon them blinking here. And drew his eyes away ; He looked upon them laughing there, While all around they lay. He looked to heaven and tried to pray. But or ever a prayer had gushed, A wicked whisper came and made His heart as dry as dust. Part IH. There passed a weary time. Each day Was long as it passed by. A weary time ! a weary time ! When looking westward, one beheld A something in the sky. At first it seemed a little speck. And then it seemed a mist ; It moved and moved and took at last. A certain shape, I wist. It ' s but a little Sophomore, And it stoppeth one of three; By thy loucl necktie and speckled sox, Now wherefore stop ' st thou me? 89 He romps upon him with his belt, I went through this, quoth he, If yon can stand it hke I did. You ' ll mak e a man like me. Part TV. A speck, a mist, a shape, I wist ! And still it grew and grew ; It duffed its screaming tie and sox But still it was some few. He ' s now a happv funior. And lie ' s watching one of three Beneath the long gray glittering moss Of a Converse Campus tree. The moving moon goes up the skv. And nowhere does abide ; Softly she is going up. And a star or two beside. Within the shadow of a tree He watched their rich attire. Blue, glassy green, and veh ' et black. They lightly played, and every act — Oh, liDW he difl admire! Oh., happy living things! no tongue Their beauty might declare : A spring of love gushed from his heart. And he lo ' ed them unaware.

W., 15. 102 Ct)e ©pal nik Y friend and I had just lit our cigars and comfortably settled down in front of a roaring log-fire for a cozy evening, when a sharp rap at the door brought us both to our feet with a feeling that something unusual must be desired, for one with other than very pressing business would hardly venture forth on a night so stormy as this. The door slowly opened in reply to my friend ' s impatient Come in; and there, silhouetted in the doorway, stood a comparatively middle-aged man, with the unmistakable traces of Spanish ancestry written in all his features. He was very tastily dressed :.and seemed to be a man both of means and culture. My friend, who, by way of parenthesis, was a young lawyer-detective, having given up a very promising law career to become, as he termed it, an investigator of circumstantial evidence, calmly looked the newcomer over and bade him be seated. In a slow and purring tone, the stranger began, his voice being marked by a slightly foreign accent: Mr. Jaccjues, I believe? And your friend, Mr. Capers of the Morning Nczvsf nodding toward me. Gentlemen, my name is Manuel Santos, and I am a descendant of the ancient Spanish family of that name. ' I have come to you to-night on a very pathetic mission. I suppose you have read of the sacl occurrence in my home of late, namely, the death of my little nephew, or rather adopted son, as I had come to regard him as such. In the opinion of my friends and myself, he was killed in the manner in which the coroner ' s jury has decided, at the hands of that dastardly Chinaman, but some of my friends persist in thinking that I might do well to put the matter in your hands, as you are well versed in such atTairs and may possibly find out his motives, or perhaps the force back of him. I would not have carried the disagreeable affair further but for the fact that some of my friends are of the opinion that there is a conspiracy on foot against me, and that I will go the way of my poor little nephew. Here the Spaniard stopped, visibly overcome with emotion. Jacques, who seemed to be studying the fire with all the intensity of his mind, lifted his eyes, and speaking very slowly said: Mr. Santos, give us, if you please, the full account of the affair and maybe I can do something for you. The ' yellow journalism ' has, as usual, enlarged and complicated all the particulars. The stranger now comfortably settlecl, and seeming to have recovered his self-composure, began in a sad voice with much feeling: Before I came of age, my parents died, leaving most of my estate to my sister and myself. My sister was engaged to a rich young American at the time, and shortly afterward married him. I, however, decided that I would start out and see something of the world before settling down. I travelled quite exten- 103 sively and lived abroad several years l efore returning to America. Upon reaching- San Francisco, I found that my sister had died and left me her only child, a bright little fellow of three years, to care for. After her husband ' s death she had devoted her entire time to the boy, but survived her husband only a short while. She left hers and her husband ' s property and fortune to the child, which he should receive on reaching the age of maturity. I was only too glad to have the care of the dear httle fellow intrusted to me, and I decided to settle down and bring him up to the best advantages. I therefore purchased a handsome residence on Elm Street, and furnished it to suit my own whims and fancies. Among the number of servants I employed was a Chinese butler, a man of the better and more intelligent class, I judged. All went well for two or three months, until last Thursday night I heard a cry in the library, and, running downstairs, came upon my housekeeper in the hall, bent on the same errand. We ran to the library, and there we beheld the Chinese butler with a dirk in his hand, bending over the prostrate body of my little nephew, and a large pool of blood on the floor. I instantly raised the alarm, and the murderer fled. Rushing after him through the portieres, I saw him open the door, and rush down the steps. He then gave two sharp whistles, and a man, whom I did not recognize, came quickly up and took from him what I supposed to be the knife. Wing, the butler, then came slowly up the steps and, much to my astonishment, seemed ready to surrender himself. Some of the servants had come up by this time, and I ordered them to seize him and call the police. The body was then examined, and after an investigation by the coroner ' s jury, the verdict was brought in that ' the deceased met death at the hands of one Wing San, with a knife as the instrument. ' This seems all that can be done, as the Chinaman will pay for this crime with his life as soon as a trial can be arranged. And, now, gentlemen, you have the facts in a nut- shell. I shall ask you to spare no effort or price in your investigation. Though the affair seems sifted as well as it can be, I leave the case entirely in your hands. Here he stopped, and, nervously twitching his moustache, he looked incjuiringly up at Jacques. I could see that something was revolving itself in Jacques ' mind, but he only asked : What does the Chinaman say? Santos promptly replied: Nothing; strange to say, he has not spoken one word since he was arrested, though he can speak English fairly well. Jacques threw his cigar into the fire, and slowly shaking his head replied : Weil. Mr. Santos, you have evidently solved this case before coming to me- I really can not see what an investigation would prove. The Chinaman may have committed the crime in a fit of insanity, as his actions have since indi- cated ; or, perhaps, it was to avenge some wrong, which the child ' s father or you. yourself, have at sometime or other committed. I suppose you have no such enemy? No, I can recall none, and especially not among the Chinese, promptly replied Santos. 104 Well if you find out any more, let me know, but I advise you to let the law take its course, Jacques replied, in a tone which evidently showed the interview to be at an end. The Spaniard evidently recognized the suggestion and arose to leave almost immediately. Long after the sound of his motor had died away, Tacques smoked on in silence. Finally, I could control my curiosity no longer, and I abruptly blurted out: Rather extraordinary case, don t you think; What are you going to do ? For I knew that he had not given it up. Tacques unheeding the interruption, smoked on a while longer m silence, and raising himself in his chair observed: I see Wing to-morrow, and m the meantime, let ' s go to bed ; I have a strenuous day ahead of me. Being very busy the next day, I did not see Jacques until he returned to our apartments that night, just as I had about given him up. He waited until he had settled himself for his usual bed-time cigar, and then motioning me to listen began : I saw Wing to-day, and he wouldn ' t say a woitL i believe that he will go to his death that way, that is, if he is convictecl I ve sent a few telegrams and cables and interviewed a few servants, and 1 thmk that witn a little more mesh-drawing I ' m about ready for the trial. Why, what have you got to do with the trial? You haven t landed a ' gang, ' have you? I inquired in astonishment. , - ,, Oh I have just had myself appointed counsel for the defense, that s all. Fm o-oing to try my hand in the matter. Things have taken a lively turn. I immediately saw that this was all I would get out of him, except that the case would coiiie up before the court, then in session, on Friday, three days off. With this knowledge and a determinati(3n to he present, and see the final catch, I retired. The public was manifestly surprised when it became known that Lawrence Tacciues the well-known lawyer-detective, would defend the Chinaman who was indicted on such a charge. A large crowd of intensely interested people had o-athered in the court-room, when the case of the State of California vs Wing San was called. The impanelling of the jury and the examination of a few witnesses, the chief of whom were Santos and the housekeeper, occupied only a short time. The evidence was most incriminating against the China- man and every one had long since given up hope for him. The Solicitor then arose and in a few pointed remarks presented the circumstantial evidence ot the case in a manner that could hardly bring anything but conviction for the accused He dwelt on the point that the prisoner ' s silence was a mute evidence of his guilt, and that perhaps the State would have been spared the trouble of a lono- trial, if certain people would quit dabbling into affairs for the purpose of attracting attention to themselves. Never once, during the trial, did the stolid look leave the face of the accused, or a word escape his hps. At length, he wound up with a plea to the jury to make this case an example to the foreigners, who made San Francisco the base of their criminal opera- tions ; and for a verdict of murder in the first degree. He closed and sat down, very confident that he had added another case to his record. 105 When he had taken his seat, Jacques slowly arose, and stepped out in front of the jury with a calm assurance that was the cause of much wonder throughout the court-room. On his right was the prisoner ' s box, with his expressionless client calmly gazing into space. Near him sat the Spaniard, Manuel Santos, who regarded the man wonderingly and half-contemptuously who had purposely turned him down for the murderer without any hope of reward. In his clear and convincing tones Jacques began : Gentlemen of the jury, the Solicitor has asked you for a verdict of murder in the first degree for the man whom you shall find guilty. And furthermore, he has asked you to convict an innocent man on a false charge. Not one word has passed the lips of that Chinaman since the night this crime was committed, but nevertheless there have been circumstances and chains of evidence surrounding this case enough to lift the stigma of disgrace and shame from the head of this innocent man, and to place it upon that of the unap- prehended murderer. I shall not take your time, gentlemen, to argue this case on a plea of insanity or some other last resort, but I shall review briefly a hypothetical case very much like this one in character. The opening is laid in China. A young Englishman, correspondent for a London newspaper, has received permission to view the inner recesses of the Sacred Temple of the Sun, situated near Nan-Chow. With him is a young friend, staying at the same American lodging-house. They ' isit this temple, and while the cor- respondent, in company with the old priest, is reviewing the inner recess, the young man happens upon an altar which contains a very sacred relic many centuries old; in fact, according to tradition, it is a knife sent down from the Sun-god himself, for the killing of human sacrifices. The knife, however, was very valual)le, not only on account of its supposed connections, but for the fact that the handle was composed of two large opals, and inlaid with smaller ones all over. When the young man saw the knife lying in its case upon the altar, and no one looking, he was seized with an impulse to possess it. He placed the knife in his pocket, and joined the others. If you will bear with me in the details, we will follow the trail of this ominous knife, until its use can be investigated. The y(.)ung man took the next steamer for San Francisco, and, arriving here, found his nearest relative had died, and that only in lieu of another ' s death had he been remembered in the will. This made him very angry, as he had spent his entire fortune in stock-market plunges and other forms of gambling abroad. However, the money being in his trust, he contrived to use it to retrieve his lost fortune. He failed, however, and became so involved that he saw something must be done. One night as he was sitting alone, thinking of his recent losses and inevitable ruin, his mind chanced to hit upon the sacrificial knife. He immediately associated it with the Chinese servant, in his employ. The servant was, in fact, a young priest at the Temple of the Sun, who was following the knife in hopes of regaining it before the loss was publicly known, in which case, the old priest, his father, must pay for his negli- 106 gence with his hfe. As he was thinking of the tw o, he suddenly remembered seeing this young Chinaman at the entrance of the temple, and guessed his mission. Fear at once seized him, and he decided to turn the knife over to the servant, and send him away. Another idea, however, entered his mind, as baneful and murderous as could be conceived: why could he not kill the heir, put the blame upon the servant, making no one the wiser ? He readily surmised that the servant would die rather than reveal the loss of the knife, so he called the little child into his room; and, there, in the gathering shadows of a winter twilight, he sacrificed an innocent little life on the altar of his own avarice. Leaving the dagger in the body of the child, he rang for the butler, and stepped into the hall. In response to his ring the butler appeared, and, on perceiving the child lying in a pool of his own blood, he ran cjuickly to it. No sooner had he reached the body than he saw the precious knife. Quickly extracting if, he ran to the door and signalled a waiting comrade, who, taking it, disappeared. But he did not succeed in doing this until he had been seen by two witnesses, in the act of extracting the dagger. Never mind, gentlemen, you can do nothing for him now, the strain was greater than he could stand any longer. A weak heart and the wages of sin — Your honor, the defense closes. J. C.

W. H. S., ' 14. 107 f ' tt ' I ' TER the loud burst of laughter which fallowed Heyward ' s tale, they all turned to Bolton, whose turn it now was. He tilted l)ack his ' chair and, lighting his pipe, told the following story : Abbott slammed the door of the office, with- a frown on his face. On the street he roughly shouldered his way through the crowd till he reached the garage, where he had left his machine. He was in no pleasant mood, and he knew that he would only feel better from a long, fast drive among the hills near the city. He threaded his way slowly through the streets thronged with the home- going crowds. Nearing the city limits, he speeded up his machine and listened with a smile to the pleasant lium of the gears as the huge car sped over the smooth road. Now he was passing a magnificent suburban home, and the smile left his face as his eyes rested on the pretty scene. He wished that he had not come this way, for ' she was xevy probal)ly in there now watching him pass alone in his big car. The cause (3f his anger leashed again through his mind. Why was he to be blamed for his car ' s breaking down when he had started to take her to the dance at the Country CIuId ? And yet she had seemed to tlunk that it was entirely his fault and had even refused his apologies for the acci- dent. Well, he would have his chance some day and when he did — . Speeding around a curve, these reflections were suddenly broken off ; there by the road he saw her big red car. As he drew near he saw her on the other side of the car, opening the tool kit. A broad smile spread over his face, but he quickly remembered, and when she looked up, as he slowed to a stop, she caught only a most distantly polite expression. She flushed, Ixit did not speak. y-Vbbott broke the silence, Excuse me, but can I be of any help to you? None whatever, she answered, her eyes flashing. So you are sure that I can do nothing for you, he said, turning to his cai Well, I, she hesitated for a moment, I can t start it. ' Abbott threw his hat and coat into his car without replying, and rolling up his sleeves, he raised the hood of her machine. He saw immediately the trouble. A boh had slipped from the timer, and he saw it caught in the dust- pan under the engine. Crawling under the machine, he fished it out of the dirt and grease. As he started out, he saw her standing near the car. She looked unusually pretty, flushed by the glow of the low sun, thoughtfully slapping her skirt with her long driving gloves. Suddenly he hit upon an idea ; this was his opportunity. Dropping the bolt and covering it m the sand as he crawled out, he brazenly faced her. It ' s too bad. Miss Waverly, he lied, but a tap has been lost from the timer and it is impossible to flx it without one. I am sorry that it has happened so, but I will have to offer my services, that you may get home. 108 Again she hesitated, then turned to his car. After handing her to the seat, he opened the hood. Pretending to fix the fan, he jerked the ground wire from the engine. Then he adjusted the spark and cranked, but the enghie gave no response. He refixed the spark and cranked again, but still the engine did not start. Then with a well simulated sigh of despair, he took out his tool kit and crawled under the car. Scraping some grease off the engine and rubbing it on his face and arms to carry further his deception, he took the hammer and began pounding on the engine. Joe, he hearcl after a moment. He stopped hammering. Miss Waverly, if you will please try to control your temper for just a few minutes, I will have the car fixed, and he banged away on the engine. Oh, Joe, he heard again, a moment later. I — . Toe was lying on his back listening eagerly. He was now smiling up at the bottom of the engine as he absent-mindedly drew circles around his mouth with grease from the engine. But don ' t you see, Joe, she said, stepping down from the car, I ' m not angrv at all now, and Tm awfully sorry — Joe, seeing her standing there, could hold out no longer, and jumpmg up he caught her outstretched hands, and kjoked frankly into her eyes. It ' s all right now, little girl, as he grounded the wire on the engine. She w atched him closely as he cranked the engine. It started with a hum. It had gotten dark now, and, lighting the lamps, he turned the car home- ward. She watched the lights in the passing houses for a while, then she asked suddenly: Joe, did you stop this car purposely? There was no answer from Joe as he watched the iDrightly lighted road ahead. Well, I don ' t care, she said thoughtfully, l ecause this is the best ride we ' ve ever had. The very best, she added a moment later, leaning nearer as he took a curve at high speed. Joe slipped his arm about her, and, stopping her further speech with a kiss, he endeavored to convince her that he was of the same opinion. Her mother met them at the door as they sprang, laughing, up the steps. Why, Margaret, what in the world! she exclaimed, looking from her face to Joe ' s. The car broke down and we— she stopped suddenly as she caught sight of her face in the mirror. There were rings of grease around her mouth and on her cheeks. And we made up, Joe finished gamely, as Margaret dashed upstairs. B. M. B., ' 12. 109 Hebraism I. Students. ijW ijpi : EHOLD, a professor went forth to lecture. And as he lectured, !nK = i some ideas fell on the ears of the college swell, and the thoughts ■ll fc ' to downtown next hour came and devoured them up. ((Mt mi 0 jj. .Vnd some fell upon dreamers, where there was no depth of -= -; mind, and forthwith they sprang up and said. That is fine. But when they left the class-room the ideals toppled, and because they had no root, thev withered away. And some fell among sports and idlers: and the thoughts of girls, the next football game, and wishes for dopes, all came in and choked them. But others fell upon receptive ears and brought forth fruit, and on examination some made seventy, some eighty and some a hundred. II. Sports. Blessed is the student that walketh not in the council of the sport, nor standeth in tlie way of idlers, nor sitteth in the seat of the slothful. But his delight is in his studies, and in those pages doth he meditate day and night. Ancl he shall be like a tree planted on the campus : he is green at hrst, but he will bring forth his fruit in his season ; the leaves of his books shall not cease for multitudes, and whatsoever he doeth might prosper. The sports are not so: but are like the blockheads which the professors llunk out. Therefore, the sports shall not stand on examination, nor idlers in the l)()dv of the studious. For the professor knoweth the way of the studious, Init the way of the sport leadeth down to a four. III. Psychology. Professor Rembert is my teacher. I shall not want for psychology. He- maketh me to study at all times. He leadeth me beside the awful physiological neurones which convey emotions. He restoreth my hope of passing; he leadeth me in the paths of Psychology for his name ' s sake. ea, though I walk through the ' alle} ' with fl ' unkers, I will fear no evil, for he is with me; his teaching and his lecturing, they comfort me. He delivereth a lecture before me in the presence of my fellow students; he anointeth my brain with ideas, my mind runneth over. Surely thoughts and ideas will follow me all the days that I am here, and I will not dwell in this college fore ' er. A. W. A., ' 12. 110 Manager F. C. Beach !a[tl)lrttf asfioriation DR. C. B.

' various phases of college activity. Accordingly, at the beginning of this college year the Wofford College Council was organized to supply this need. Its membership is composed of representatives from the faculty, the student [, ; 1J body, the four classes, the three literary societies, the Y. M. C. A., the Journal staff, the Annual staiT, the Musical Association and the Athletic Association. The meetings are held once a month in the Whitefoord Smith Library. The Council has no executive authority, but is purely advisory, in character. Any proposed movement submitted to it is discussed and reported favorably or unfavorably to the organization in which the movement originated. In this way concerted action is gained. Since its inauguration a lively interest has been shown in the Council, and much good has already been accomplished. DR. H. N. SNYDER -- -- President DR. C. B. WALLER First Vice-President J B.

Such is not the case, for there has long been on Wofford Campus an active Young Men ' s Christian Associa- tion; and we feel that the year ending with February, 1912, has been one of marked success. The work has been carried on by committees, each committee taking charge of a special phase of the work. Our membership totals one hundred and seventy — ninety per cent, of the boys on the campus. The town boys in college are nearh ' all members of the City Association, and so they, too, might well be counted, since they are inter- ested in Association work. Much of the success in our membership is due to Mr. Cox, who was chairman of that committee. The devotional committee, Mr. Stilwell. ex-officio chairman, had charge of the regular Friday evening devotional services. They have arranged splendid programs and had strong speakers for these meetings. Several meetings were conducted entirely by students. For these devotional meetings Mr. Crum, chairman of tlie music committee, has provided splendid music. The chou led, so that the fellows could not help but follow. The Y. M. C. A. Quar- tette, — Moody, Hill, Mclver, and Crum — have rendered beautiful special selections, which added much to the devotional services. The Bible study committee, with Mr. Ayers as chairman, has also been wide awake. They were not frightened by the fact that we have curriculum Bible. They went to work and organized classes to supplement the College Bible, enlisting in these classes a total of sixty men. Bible study is one of the most important phases of Association work. Closely connected with Bible study is the mission study, of which committee Mr. Hodges, a student volunteer, is chairman. Helped by a visit from Mr. Montgomery, Mr. Hodges organized a class in the study of the negro problem. This class, under the capable leadership of Dr. D. D. Wallace, has had splendid success in studying this important question. The enrollment of this class numbered sixty. Mr. Spigner, as treasurer, has looked after the financial side of the Association. VVe have made our usual contributions to the international and interstate committees, while last spring we finished paying for our hall, and sent a contribution to the Blue Ridge Association. But we do not feel that it has been in any of the foregoing phases of work that the Wofford y ssociation has done its best work. We feel that our greatest work has been our contribution to the extension work in the mill villages around the College. We have furnished a teaching force for the night school at the Wesley House, furnishing four teachers for two nights per week. We had eight men engaged in Sunday-school work, while several 184 of the boys do ministerial work at the jail and elsewhere. The Glee Club has given free concerts to three different mill . villages ; these concerts were well attended and much enjoyed. In all this work we have been greatly indebted to Mr. Martin, the secretary of the City Association. Surely it is in this work that the Association is doing good. The students, a privileged class, are giving time and work for the benefit of those not so fortunate. They are contributing something to the life of the community, doing some- thing for the benefit of those around them. At the date of this writing we are looking forward to a week of special services to be conducted by Rev. E. K. Hardin, an old Wofford man, havhig served on the campus both as a student and a professor. We are looking forward to these meetings as a culmination of Christian work for the year. Dailv prayer is being offered for the success of these meetings, and we feel that the pravers are answered. Immediately after these services the new officers and cabinet will take charge. May God ' s blessing be upon them in tlieir work. lay the Association grow from year to year, and come to be a stronger factor in Wofford life. _ 185 lEl UR PRINTED PRODUCTS are the highest attainment in workmanship of the Pride in Work craftsmen who set the type, engrave the plates, print and bind the long list of high- class College Annuals View Booklets, Cata- logues, and general fir quality commercial printing that is continually passing through our plant.
