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
