He denies the charge that Dr. McLauclilin and he have formed a trust on chickens. He also might be ranked as a financier, as he sold an old “dominecker hen” to Dr. Sampson for one dollar. Hoxie is scarcely ever non paratus in his recitations, and is always there when Professor Pruitt calls the roll. Last, but not least, we turn our gaze upon Stitt—“the Bomb-proof” —a gentleman of many wanderings and sundry experiences. Born in Tennessee, sojourned in Arkansas, the land of mosquitoes, then landed in Texas, the Elysian Fields of fabled antiquity, he has survived the storms of different climes, and still walks with majestic tread, while his mag- nificent mustache stems stubbornly the blustering winds of Texas. He is a cosmopolitan in many things, but determined in all. He is the only Senior that has received a compliment during the year from the female sex. She said that Mr. Stitt talked with sense. This is not so much a compliment to Mr. Stitt, as a slur upon the other noble Seniors. The historian is no prophet, still he is going to conjecture as to the Seniors’ future. In future days Alf, Harry, Stitt, and Carter will be seen standing before the throne of earthly justice, pleading in eloquent tones, and wiping tears from their eyes. Then, soon after, the guilty culprit —or innocent man—will be seen wending his way homeward, singing “Home, Sweet Home.” Scott, Thompson, and Wilson will carry in their medical cases a good supply of “Little Early Risers,” and of course will diagnose the most complicated symptoms of disease with a broad expres- sion of wisdom on their faces. The Senior Class of 1900 will be heard from in the future, if nothing happens. Tale. -26- Officers of Class of ’o i. Yell.- OW «old and baby blue. Hoo! Yah! Hoo! Yali! Hno! Old gold and baby bine.

Mighty We, the only important persons necessary to mention, in our own eyes, comprise the notorious “Freshman Class” of Austin Col- lege. We sprang into existence with the fall of 1809, frofa seeds long ago sown, and we have since then budded and flowered into a great nation; even as the mighty oak sprang from the tiny acorn. We are probably as smart as any solemn and knowing Senior, or as any aspir- ing Junior, and all that we lack in our make-up is a few years in which to develop a stiff dignity. The Seniors may not wish to grant us equal footing with them; if not, we can cite them pictures of our noble ances- Turning your attention from our rude debut into this wide world, observe that our exploits do far surpass the most famous achievements of “pagan heroes.” We have wrought more destruction than any other class this year, with that deadly instrument—the damage fee. In the score of demerits and zeros we hold the record. But this is not as disgraceful as would seem. The constant strain of making 100s every day becomes monotonous to us, and we find diversion to a great extent in “zeros plus demerits.” In slipping off to theaters on forbidden nights we have been most successful in escaping the President’s hawk-eye. In another respect we are very elite. Some of us ride to our Latin and Greek recitations every morning on “ponies” and “horses.” As a result. Professor Thompson calls us “asine,” while Professor Bell charges us with having no “horse sense.” They are evidently jealous of our sleek Part of us belong to the A. O. A. Army, but we are not ashamed to acknowledge the humiliation. We wTore put in its ranks simply as excel- lent examples to those heathenish “Preps.” In permitting ourselves to mix with them, our “Reps” have been greatly depreciated. But wherever good can be done, our valued presence willingly lends its cooperation. Now with respect to characters who may some day figure in his- tory—most likely as anarchists and traitors—the Fates have indeed dealt propitiously with us. We have the only wit in College, and he is characterized by a very silly countenance. We vouchsafe that he and his apparent humor will be taken for granted, wherever he may chance to go. Old Ananias of the Bible has a kinsman among us, from some- where in the lower portion of the State. He wears glasses constantly for fear he should occasionally make a fatal mistake and tell the truth. Our class president imagines himself to be of Nero the tyrant’s blood. He can’t play the fiddle, but he often enforces his decisions by cold steel means. An honest chap is “our treasurer.” But well he might be, for never to our certain recollection has any coin ever passed into his hands from our empty palms. Our “class poet” is a noted one. His poems are issued constantly, and if any very happy person is in need of a double dose of “the blues,” w e recommend his “Themistocles; or. The Downfall of Adam and Eve’s Consequence.” We have a “ladies’ man” (a miner) who is a mark, especially for the girls. He boasts of taking a bath once a year, whether he needs it or not. But this is too much for the rest of us to claim, as our acquaintance with that wret article is slight, and we have declined to be introduced. Do not be misled into thinking that the most important personage has yet been spoken of. Our historian is a fine specimen. His photo- graph may be seen on every barnyard fence in the land, or his likeness can be obtained direct from “The Rogues’ Gallery.” He is us, and proud are we of his repute. However, let us not forget one who has figured a special feature in “our congregation” from the beginning, but has since flown to parts unknown. Dub him “a curio” or “a mistake of Nature,” and either description will fit him like a new suit. When he first appeared in our midst his mien wras not pleasing to look upon, but it has since undergone a radical decomposition. Lest this newlv-found treasure should be led astray, one who is not unlike “our historian” at once assumed authority over him. Under the good influence of his foster parent, that one sud- denly developed into a surprisingly remodeled individual. By the time he decided to betake his presence from among us, he had become en- deared to the hearts of all. His departure was celebrated by many hand- m is said to be of tt play,,!. We hold th, The recital of tli Perils of the Deep. Fierce and wild the storms were booming, As if the good ship they were dooming, While rising high Above the blast Of stormy winds That swept the mast, I heard a groan, A sigh, a moan. My very flesh it made creep. Raging high the waves were lashing— All their anger ’gainst us dashing, As if a thous- And demons stirr’d All their fury. Again I heard That awful roar— It was the snore Of my neighbor in his sleep. . K. T. ACADEMY 8TODENTS. -42— Academy Officers. Class History. Athenaeum History. Athenaeum Society. E. E. Carter.
