Austin College - Chromascope Yearbook (Sherman, TX)

Text from Pages 1 - 172 of the 1914 volume:

T e caUoTv, To Professor JAMES JOSEPH DELANEY this volume of the Chromascope is respectfully dedicated, as a friend of the entire student body, ever ready to lend his kind sympathy and advice, esteemed for his fairness and patience. In Volume XV of the Chromascope, the Senior Class of '14 offers you its earnest efforts to please. ,We have attempted to place in this book those things which we think should recall in future years pleasant memories of the happenings and associations of your college days. We hope that it will meet with your approval, and if we have fallen short of our pur- pose we trust that you will overlook such faults as we, in our inexperience made. We extend to you our kindest greetings and regards. BUILDING THOMPSON S C I E N C E II A L THOMAS STONE CLYCE, President Mental and Moral Philosophy King College, A. B. ’87.

Here we have a combination unpre- cedented in the annals of men—a de- bonaire among the ladies, a stubborn politician, a hog at the table, and sleeper of no mean duration. When he tucks his draperies about him upon his downy couch, whether it be to pleasant dreams or not, it is surely for the greater part of the twenty-four hours. Never has man been known to slumber with so much enjoyment as George. His stubbornness in argu- ment is awful, his ability disappoint- ing. But if he can manufacture lies always as he did during his career in college he will be the greatest law- yer in Texas. George has been known to go to chapel and even to a class, but it was only to shake hands with his class mates after so long an absence and have the fellows tell him how fclad they are to see him. His appetite will lose him many a Sunday dinner, but his ever-pleasing willingness to sym- pathize will beguile many an innocent into inviting him to a meal for the first time. We predict for George a hand- - 30 Alex, has a square jaw and red hair, —what is left — and altogether looks like a prize fighter—after the fight. - Also like some of the tribe he “came back”. He took last year all that his - poor head would hold so we surmise that he returned to acquire an added polish (on his marble-like pate). He has the common weakness of all foolish men, that of admiring the fairer sex. With this is a concomitant weakness for sentimental poetry between the reading of which and the writing, h ' has scarcely time to apply his hair'.--, tonic, one of his daily tasks—always working under a vain delusion that it will some day return. If he misses the application even once, though, it up- sets him for a week. Alex, is proving himself an admirable minister to the widows and orphans—if they happen to be of the right variety. We are sure that he will take well in the jungles of heathendom where he has so unselfishly decided to go. avoid trouble. In his misery he always sang to himself for consolation. Next to these accomplishments, Reuben is a dancer. He has already constructed several dances that he claims have the tango beaten all hollow. We seriously fear that he is going to become a dancing teacher, but advise him that he go to digging ditches if he expects to make a living. He spends most of his time in school gathering up old clothes and worrying about examinations that are several months off. ARMISTEAD ARLEDGE ALDRICH, A. B. Crockett, Texas EDWARD E. BIGGS, A. B. 32 EDWARD EUGENE DIGGS, JR., A. B, Childress, Texas Athenaeum Behold the pinch hitter!—Who be- comes frightened at the sound of the pill against the stick. A comical species of the Arehaezoic, who aspires to expound scripture and quote Shakes- peare until the congregation is landed in dreamland. He was a ladies’ man until Holmes stepped in and showed him a thing or two. Then he came down from his high perch and is an avowed woman hater, yet holds for the fair sex a sad attitude in the form of a suffragette. His greatest delight is in smoking cigars—that other fellows buy. He acts just like a white man would in bearing and calls the world to his attention and points himself out as a good-looking man. Is perfectly harm- less when under the influence of alco- holic beverages and never gives any one trouble except the Faculty. ROBERT MALCOLM DONNELL, A. B.

He wears his bristly hair pompadoured in such a way as would make any por- cupine jealous. Coming from the coun- try as he does he is a fine example of that locality. Well may it be said of him that “you can take a man out of the country, but you can’t take the country out of the man.’’ His favorite recreation (unless we except eating) is ’possum hunting, naturally holding a fondness for his ancestors. Donnell is not much of a society man, but he has stalwart qualities. We might call him a diamond in the rough, with the ac- cent on the rough. ' He makes an excellent jack-ass on most all occasions 34 °f public gatherings. It has been said that he is the only one of the kind in captivity, though others declare Henry Evans is another. On this point we cannot speak with certainty, but for the good of the na- tion, or even the world at large, we hope it is true. His voice is marvelous, not for sweetness nor melody, but for its power to make discord in a quar- tette of donkeys. This is no idle talk. It has been proved experimentally. Many professions of high standing called to him to join their ranks, but he saw his life work in bossing “greas- ers” so left fame and honor to fpllow after that. However, we hope that he will soon see his mistake and return to civilization. There are things in the world not dreamed of in our philosophy, includ- ing this. No,' he is not a foreigner, he just talks that way in preference to using English. Earhart is a hard stu- dent. One must be well equipped with intelligence to catch the profound wis- dom of his utterances. He habitually speaks in terms of “unearned incre- ment,” “in status quo” and such other pet phrases. He disdains to use a word for the expression of his idea less than a yard long. Earheart is very unpretentious and exceedingly demo- cratic in temperament. His purpose in life is to reorganize the modern taxa- tion methods through one of his vol- umes on the subject. 35 JOHN F. EVANS. A. B. HHS§ John Is going to be a great lawyer troubling the master minds of the day, such as the Tariff and the Single Tax, that John could explain and make per- fectly clear if he could only reach the ears of the country’s leaders. HENRY CLAY EVANS. Jr., A. B. Milford, Texjis his father only knew ! We try to keep him fromdoing bad things but we can’t watch him all the time. He has been seen to laugh hilariously and do other things that one would not expect of so young and tender an angel. He looks quite innocent -but then looks are so often deceiving. Henry thinks he is quite a ladies man and the ogling glances he is capable of casting when in their presence would almost convince us. Among his many accomplishments he has an excellent ability to cuss in French and sing in “Dago” He is very proud to do both of these for ad- miring visitors. Henry’s ambition is to write story plots for moving picture companies and sing in grand opera. He will never succeed at either. 36 KENNETH FOWLER, A. B. Dallas, Texas Philennoian t Thompson Literary Society ’10: Win- pson Declamatory Medal ’10: Class ’ll; Historian ’13: Associate Editor “Jew” hails from the metropolis of Dallas. We call him that for his rare physiognomy. He stoutly avers, all appearances to the contrary, that he is a native born American. He is an ex- cellent bargainer—he tried to buy a Y. M. C. A. ticket for $4.98. His chief ambition is to become a tangoist. When he is able to kick his hat from his head without mussing up his hair he says he will be the happiest of mortals. He was heard to remark when hearing a crowd of seniors who were talking of some “Tango Tea” that that was noth- ing new as he had been drinking it all his life. Jew also has literary aspira- tions and after his experience with the Chromascope intends to apply as editor of the Police Gazette.

He was once am- bitious of becoming something and worked with determination, but fell in love and the officers threaten him reg- ularly with enclosure in an asylum. His condition is lamentable. His girl affectionately calls him “Gordy.” He needs a keeper, but nobody will volun- teer for the dangerous task. He says he is going to be the next mayor of Chilton. But whatever he may hope for we fear that worrying over his girl and the lack of hair on his egg-like pate will bring him to a premature grave. We sincerely hope he will be- come more optimistic in the future. ALBERT EDWIN GERLACH. Livingston, Texas Athenaeum “Ed” is from the sticks but he is far from green. He came up here with a few cockle burrs in his hair—and it looks like they are still there at first sight—but constant combing has gotten practically all of them out, but left some of the awfulest kinks one ever saw on a whiteman’s bean. He has a strong affinity for feminine virtues and at- tracts girls with an irresistible force. Once he was caught in the act of put- ting his arm around a visiting girl, but he didn’t even blush then. Therefore he is an old hand at the game. He was a hard student, but his health failed him in his Senior year and he was forced to go to the bottoms to recuper- ate. We trust that vigorous fighting with the mosquitoes has brought strength and health back to him. He was also an eloquent dispenser of in- decent epithets, acquired along with the rest of the class while taking the Chemistry course. ' 38 Track Team ’11-T2: Captain Basket Ball team.

We don’t let him go out alone unless he is weighted down for fear that the wind will pick him up and never bring him back. Even then there is danger that he may slip through, a crack in the ground and be lost forever. With, a few other Seniors Gus has an unexplaina- ble passion for chemistry and has pur- sued the elusive Organic through'ihcuiy years. He comes at present from Aus- tin, but he may moye—because he has to. His fame comes from the unsightly pictures he has drawn for the Chroma- scope. The way he loves classes is a sin. In his Senior year he boasts of 28 happy hours under thje guidance of pa- tient professors each week. He often tries to ‘ ‘spark’ ’ among the women by means of a cheap line of wit, which is far from the sparkling kind.

Though very sweet and innocent look- ing, curly black hair and guileless blue eyes, he is the worst confidence man in North Texas and spends most of his time in taking pennies away from the preps. In him also we find the white hope and he is in training now —to meet Jack Johnson on the field of battle at an early date. Even now he is trying to sell front seats to his friends at a big reduction, so he says. But they are selling slow as his friends are so tender-hearted they do not wish to see him punched. His one redeem- ing feature is that he delights in giving banquets to the Class at the Binkley. He is also somewhat of the type of a hopeless lover without a sad counte- RAOUL PEDRO GUITART, A. B. Cardenas, Cuba “Cuby” claims that he comes from Cuba, but we privately believe that he is an escaped Mexican rebel. He has all the characteristics. Of late he has become a lecturer on Spanish and weekly discourses to vast assemblies on the beauties and charms of his native tongue. He has “heart trouble” and fre- quently is laid up by this organ becom- ing dislocated. He at one time had a very fine voice and seriously considered opening up a studio across the street from Caruso, but he spoiled it all by singing in the damp evening air of Sherman. For long he labored with Math., but he was finally conquered and has now become a great chemist and soon intends to place before the scientific world some wonderful discov- eries that will open their eyes in horror. ARTHUR GORMAN HOPKINS, A. B. Dallas, Texas “Sis” we call him because his feet are like a girl’s. (?). In some other respects he has the qualities of a man. He thinks he is the handsomest man in the Class and we can’t find it in our hearts to set him right. Really he is so ugly that he has to slip up on the water to wash his face. Consequently he seldom washes it. Oratory is his strong point. So proficient has he be- come in this art that he is often able to totally conceal the absence of thought in his compositions by a superfluity of words. He is somewhat of a lover but hasn’t had any luck so far. He is eas- ier strung by a girl than any other fel- low in the Class, but so long as he is ignorant we will leave him alone and let him be happy. His wit is punk, his ambition low, but with his big heart and “push” qualities he may make a success in the world. We dare not say for certain. 4Q HAROLD WESLEY HUNTER.

Define him? “An animal that sleeps by day and prowls by night.” This insectivore was never known to go to a class and stay through it. If he ever went he always excused himself before it was over. He constantly wore moc- casins so he could sneak in and out without disturbing the rest of theclass. He also knew not when the day began and ended for ordinary humans. His chief delight was in cutting classes while he slept, and then keeping every- body awake at night. There is a re- port running around among the student body that he could not stand the day- light because it hurt his eyes, conse- quently anyone venturing into his room about dusk, or a little liter, would find Hal rising from his slumbers that he might carouse about during the night. As soon as the sun began to peep in over the horizon, he betook himself at once to his bed and never rose until it had gone down behind a. golden west. He had more friends among the tom cats than he did in the student body, and that is saying a whole lot. JAMES NEWTON McLEOD, A. B. JAMES EWING MCKINNEY, A.

They have always shown themselves ready to share our trials and have been loyal in every way in their support of the Class.

We hope that they will always feel our deep appreciation of their loyal support and remember that the ties we have made this year will always bind us in Pythian brotherhood. 58 ‘ ‘ Wake from thy rest, Robin red-breast, Sing, birds, in every furrow; And from each hill let music shrill Give my fair love good morrow —Heywood 59 JUNIOR CLASS President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Historian Officers G.

J. Harrold Gulledge, a member of the Class of 1915 passed away at his home near Plano, Texas, on Oct. 23, 1913. He enrolled at Austin College as a Sophomore and proved himself a worthy and brilliant member of that class. He came to us from Kentucky Military Institute where he was the star of the football team. Coming to Austin College he played right end on our football team, and showed himself to be a very valuable man. He was studious, frank, sincere, courageous and generous. He was a manly man and manifested those sterling qualities so characteristic of and admired in Southern manhood. He was eminently fitted by natural endowment to make a great success in life. Little did we think when he left us at the close of school that it would be our last meeting on earth. Little did we think as we clasped his hand in token of fellowship and painful separation that it would be our last touch of his generous hand until the morning of the eternal day. But in the wisdom of Our Heavenly Father, which we dare not question, He called him home to Himself just a few months after the opening of the fall term. Memory loves to linger amid the days when Harold was an Austin College student among us, for he was a welcome companion everywhere and at all times. ■p v euuo'vaTv SAXetar SocXeX Roll of Members A.

The purpose of this contest is to select from represent- atives of the two college literary societies the orator who will represent A. C. in the Inter-Collegiate Contest which will be held at Waco on April the seventeenth. Mr. R. M. Donnell, Athenaeum, carried off the honors of this occasion, winning with his beautiful oration “The Mission of Service”, which he will deliver at Waco. The other orators for this contest were A. G. Hopkins using “The Aryans in Civilization”, E. E. Diggs with “Civiliza- tion and Responsibilty” and H. G. Anderson speaking on “The Relation of the United States to Mexico”. 91 SVve, SxdeY-Soevetaa jjVNEof the important functions of college literary society work is the v!7 annual debate between the Philennoian and Athenaeum societies. The winning of this contest between the two societies is held as one of the greatest honors that can come to a man during his entire college career. On the evening of Friday, February 13, 1914, the black and gold of the Phils, was carried to victory by Messrs. A. A. Aldrich and John Evans. In a most interesting debate on the merits and demerits of the single tax these two gentlemen not only covered themselves with glory but placed as tribute at the foot of their society one of the big honors of the year. 96 Y.

CABINET • 99 'Wlsns CYvv s tv 'SVssocta.Won USTIN COLLEGE enjoys the dis- tinction of having the oldest College: Association in the State, and of being the first College to erect a distinctive Asso- ciation building, which has been in use since 1911. Since that time the University ' has built, and the A. M. College and' other schools are planning in the same di- rection. The plans were for a $10,000- building, but final cost amounts to about $35,000 gathered by subscriptions, large and small, over the State. The building is of two stories and base- ment, and is built of solid concrete. The upper story contains eight suites of rooms, in addition to the lavatory and the secretary’s rooms, and can accommodate thirty-two students. On the first floor is the office, at present used as the College office, with large assem- bly rooms on either side, divided by folding doors. One used at present for the College library, the other for a recitation room. The rear half of the first floor is the gymnasium, on which $2,000 is to be expended in equipment. In the basement is the swimming pool, which always calls for first at- tention; in area twenty-five by forty-five feet, and ranging in depth from six to eight feet. On the right are the bowling alleys where even the grinds of the schools find pleasure. In the rear are the shower,baths, kitchen and furnace room. The privilege of the pool and alleys are open only to those who have taken out membership card, a special fee being required of ndn-members. The proceeds of the building go to the maintenance of the Association, which has been self-supporting from the beginning. A salaried Secretary gives his entire time to the Association work. The present Secretary, Mr. M. L. Cashion, has by his unfailing courtesy and good nature won a lasting place in the affections of the students, faculty and community. 100 BOWLING ALLEY.

His resemblance to his discoverer were striking-ly plain, as well as his charac teristics. Had the nig-ht permitted there would probably have been a consul- tation of the scientists over this discovery, but it was too dark so they postponed this until the following day, going forward in search of more species. For many miles onward they trod, handling the sulling marsupial by his slippery handle, some discussing the name he should hive, others discussing the name of the condition of their stomachs. Duck (scientific appellation) McKinney and Gaither who are usually so concerned with their hearts seemed now partial to their gizzards. At last after another mar- supial had been discovered they turned their weary way campward. Arriving at the camp everything was soon, put in readiness for a scientific meal. Having no water, Reuben Anderson and Hopkins tried to make some from the oxygen of the air and the bark of a gymnosperm which Hopkins had found and which he claimed cantained one ounce of hydrogen per cubic billimeter. They failed however and were instantly given the horse laugh. During the meal Corpulentus Mosely and Holmes Anderson were sta- tioned as guards over the mursupials. Gaither and Hopkins had gotten 115 ATHLETIC COUNCIL OFFICERS President ------ G. F. GAITHER, Jr. Vice-President - - - - - A. G. HOPKINS Secretary..................................W. E.

He has coached our Football Team up to the top notch of Texas Clubs. The 1913 Team showed his handiwork, finishing third in the Inter-Collegiate Associa- tion. This year he is coaching the Baseball Team, and with the material in hand gives promise of a fair “nine”. Mr. Johnston is a graduate of Miami University where he played on the football team four years, playing one year at guard, one at end and two at full-back. Leaving there he went to Polytechnic where he coached two years, and whence he came to Austin College. 123 ALEX. GRAY Weight. 170 Age 25 Height, 5 ft., 9 in. Post-Graduate Alex, played his last game for Austin College Thanksgiving day. 1913 marked his fourth year on the team, playing center each year and he showed himself to be one of the best centers Texas has produced. Alex, is a consistent trainer and is in the game from the start. His passes are always sure no matter what the distances. BAP BROWN—Captain Right Tackle Weight, 180 Age, 20 Height, 6 ft. Senior Class Captain Brown at right tackle was a tower of strength to the line not only this year but last also. He is one of the hardest hitting linesmen in Texas and one of the hardest men to stop in a tackle around tackle play. This is Bap’s fourth year on the Austin College Team, and never has he been called on to make a gain without doing everything that could be expect- ed. He was one of the stars in the Thanks- giving game. This is Bap’s last year in Aus- tin College but he will make his mark on any team he plays with. He made All-State Tackle and All-Southwestern. 126 H. G. TUCK Full-Back Weight, 170 Age, 18 Height, 6 ft. Freshman Class This is Tuck’s second year on the A. C. Team. He is one of Sherman’s own products. He worked hard from the first and has done fine work at end, half-back and full-back. Not only were his line plunges sensational but he was by far the best forward passer in the State. We are counting on him for next year’s team. W. E. WILLIAMS Left End Weight, 160 Age, 18 Height, 5 ft., 9 in. Junior Class This is Billy’s second year on the Club. He did stellar work- in all the games that he played. He was one of the fastest men on the Club and especially good in receiving forward passes and in breaking up interference. Billy is Captain of the Club next year and we are expecting him to lead them to victory. 127 H. E. SMITH Left Tackle Weight, 180 ' Age, 20 Height, 6 ft., 2 in. Freshman Class Smith has been on the Team for two years, playing guard for the first year and tackle this last. Smith is a hard hitter and a sure tackier. Although he received injuries in practice he went to the Thanksgiving game on his crutches, playing a star game from the start. We are counting on him for one of our strongest men W. B. REYNOLDS G uard Weight, 180 Age, 20 Height, 6 ft., yi in. Preparatory Class Reynolds came to us from Mexia High and showed up well in his first year on the Team. He took Moseley’s place when Moseley sub- stituted for Gray and played strong. He evinced consistent training in the Poly game at Ft. Worth and we are looking to him for good team work next year. 128 A. E. GERLACH Sub-Quarter and Half-Back Weight, 160 Age 20 Height, 5 ft., 10 in. Senior This was Gerlach’s first year on the Team but second year on the Squad. He played a creditable game through the year, and made his letter, being a consistent ground gainer. W. C. MOSELEY « Guard Weight, 220 Age, 19 Height, 6 ft. Freshman Class “Fats” did some good work when he sub- stituted for Gray at center, being very much like unto a stone wall. Last year he was a Sub. but this year he made his letter with very creditable playing to his record, and we are expecting him to continue this good work next 129 C. C. CRAWFORD Right Guard Weight, 170 Age, 21 Height, 6 ft. Preparatory Class Crawford was a new man this year but he played the game and showed up well. Hte played a spunky game and was always to be counted on. He was very fast and was good at breaking up interference. “RAT” WOODSON Right Half Weight, 160 Age, 19 Heght, 5 ft. Preparatory Class Woodson has been on the Squad for two years but this year by hard work and praise- worthy tenacity made the Team and served up some classy playing. 130 BASE-BALL SQUAD 1914 “BILLY” .WILLIAMS Captain Base-Ball Owing to the carelessness of the photographer in losing the photos of the 1913 Base- Ball Club, we are forced to insert their names without the pictures.

COLLEGE ANNUAL ENGRAV G ” 0[| AND THE NEAT VoLXV AusimCottcc ® Annuat Published By The Senior Class 5hermen Te x s % BOOK I BOOK IV 0 Football Baseball ‘A GREATER AUSTIN COLLEGE IN SHERMAN. “Give us $50,000 and we will erect ‘Sherman Hall on the Austin College campus, and we will invest an additional $150,000 in buildings.’’ This challenge was thrown down last January, and was at once taken up by the citizens of Sherman. And so it all happened. The unexpected does happen at times. The slogan of Austin College to-day is, “A Greater Austin College in Sherman.” The matured plan is to place five modern brick and concrete buildings on the ten acre campus of Austin College. These, with the two imposing structures, Luckett Holland the T. M. C. A. Hall, already in use, will give to Sherman and the Synod of Texas an educational plant without a superior in the South. Will it be done? Yes, undoubtedly. Time will be needed: but even the time period will not extend itself into many years. A modern $75,000 Ad- ministration Building, to be known as Sherman Hall, will occupy the central site, so long occupied by those venerable walls sacred to the memory of a Luckett, a Boude, an Edmonds, and a Vinson. In the north west corner of the campus will be placed the replica of Luckett Hall without the refectory, possibly to be known as Chadwick Hall. Between this and the Association Hall is a two-story brick Power House, to furnish water, light, heat, and laundry facilities. West of the Administra- tion Building is an up to date Science Hall; while to the east will be Alumni Hall, furnishing a commodious auditorium above and large, fully equipped Library divisions below. Looking to “A Greater Austin College,” the curriculum has been expanded, the corps of instructors increased to twelve trained men who have been selected with reference to fitness for their respective lines of work. Increased graduate privileges at the State University, and entrance requirements that conform to those of the University, all tend in the-same direction. The value of this training is evinced by the fact that it is impossible for the College to meet all the calls of the high schools for teachers. 14 A further step, looking to “A Greater College,” is a movement to attract the patronage of the Presbyterian constituency of Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arkansas and Louisiana, to this as the highest grade Presbyterian College of the Southwest. If this can be realized, it will unify our educational sys- tem, and provide cultural advantages second to none in the country, besides rendering unnecessary the long, tiresome, and expensive trips to the far eastern portion of our country. The salubrious climate of North Texas, the mild winters, the accessi- bility of Sherman and its refined citizenship, the fact that it is almost a cen- tral spot in a large scope of country that is to today without a well known in- stitution of higher learning of a Christian character—these things combined with the prestige, tradition and respectability that gathers about an institu- tion as old and well reputed as Austin College, make this the natural location to which all signs point. Further, this is the psychological moment. While Presbyterians are building they should build largely and perma- nently. What about it? 15 BOARD OF TRUSTEES 1916 Dr. P. C.

As we stand today on„ o the mountain peak and look down into the mist- clad vale below we are, in a way, satisfied with the progress we have made. There we discern the strag- gling footsteps of Freshmen, of Sophomores, of Juniors and at last of Seniors. The last Alpine steppe has now been gained. Only the last act of our college drama remains to be recorded. On the seventeenth of September last we arrived upon the campus determined to march en masse upon the citadels of learning. But to our surprise, Gen- eral Science had been reinforced during our absence by Major-General Physics Problems and Lieutenant Laboratory. These two forces, forming in battle array like a wall of iron impeded many of our number and inflicted with severe wounds the entire class. The groans of the wounded shook the earth. The 42 43 5o Gut S'ysUts . Memories are only acceptable when they are pleasant, when they recall to us some past period of our lives made dear by happy associations. Would that all our college years been filled as the last has been with your loving interest and friendship, our sisters. But this we say from the bottom of our hearts, that this association in our last year with you will shed a bless- ing over our future paths through life which otherwise we would have wanted. Our heartsare full to say farewell. iVve C ss TCvtvbUbti Jou-rte ’n 44 FAVRITES 5Vve S.as 'Vfi'vW, aTv es ame ve Saavov C ass sswsstas s -ip- 'Vas ot ve t)Mu oT C ass SOPH So tvomove V. .s ov 3vesWaw C ass As or 72 .vs ov Tve s. a mighty bright future before it.

A graduate of the Preparatory department of our college, when the occasion arises can express himself forcefully and clearly on any important issue. Thanks are due to him who was instrumental in founding what is to be the star society of our college. The loss of the society halls has caused a decline in our ciety has prospered. We all look forward with pleasurable anticipation to the weekly meeting where we hear lively and comprehensive debates on popular questions; where we are entertained by some of the future orators of our state and ofttimes we have original stories that point out the natural gift in some of our members. The Society is three fold in its uses. For not only does it serve as a relaxation from duty, but it also trains us to ap- pear to advantage in oratory; and too, gives us both sides of world issues. The future of the society looms up bright and glorious and though its member are being trained for high stations in life, yet they will always be proud to say, “I am a Thompson man of old A. C.” 90 u 3 e Messum Sexmce' 7T HE aim of human effort is happiness. Striven for through all the ages, vl it has never been fully attained. It has always appeared as a flying goal. Let the curtain rise oh the drama of history. Each great epoch with its own peculiar ideal comes into view, holds the center of the stage for a brief moment, and then disappears forever in the haze of the past. One age looked toward the ideal of physical power, another bore aloft the standard of culture, still another worshiped political prestige. What higher ideals of life men held mattered little: they were not thinking of life in its highest meaning but of reaching the final goal, human happiness. This is the motive force that has evolved commercialism. This is the storm-god that has lashed our shores with the tidal wave of money madness till it swept over our whole continent. By steps of gold man has sought to gain the loftiest peak in the Mountain of bliss. Having attained the heights of wealth, he looks down into the green valleys and envies the life of the shepherd. And then he realizes that paths of wealth lead not to the para- dise of his dreams. Before his eyes the shimmering sheen has faded. But the way of ascent is filled with hordes of humanity, pressing ever onward, toward that unsatisfying, vanishing goal. History has abundantly proven that those who seek happiness as a thing in itself are doomed to disappointment. Another day has dawned, another ideal has arisen. “Public office is a public trust,” said President Cleveland; but one even greater than Cleveland has arisen—Woodrow Wil- 'son! a man who has devoted his thought and energy to social service. We hear the words ringing on the plains, echoing from the hills, “Money must not govern service.” The modern trend of politics, of industry, and of Christianity, all proclaim the dawn of a new era, an era in which the ideal of gaining wealth will give place to the ideal of rendering service! What will this do for a world of struggling humanity? What social significance has this new era? It means that we have found the ideal which all ages have sought, the ideal that points to the pinnacle of human happiness! It shall be our purpose to show what the ideal of service will mean to politics, to economics, and to morality. Throughout the din and clash of politics man has ever sought to win his prize of life. He has lifted high the banner of political freedom, of political equality, and of political justice. Yet, never has he reached the ideal of polit- 92 ill UilfflSHllliii H death. Then, let us break to pieces this heathen idol. For man must remember that divine command, “Love thy neighbor as thyself ”, Instill into his heart the spirit of service; imbue him with the God-given truth that he is indeed his brother’s keeper; let him understand that humanity was not made for man but man for humanity. Let him realize that no man has a moral right to do wrong. Then no longer will he be drawn into the maelstrom of pleasure, but he will invest his life for the greatest of all dividends, the elevation of mankind. Then, in truth will dawn that golden era, “When all crime shall cease and ancient fraud shall fail”. Then, all immorality, all crime, all lust will be forgotten in the age of love, of broth- erhood, and of service! Such is our problem; and such is our solution! The leaders of action are fast turning the great ship of public sentiment from the treacherous waters of selfishness to the safe seas of service. To this end let us con- centrate every interest and energy. By electing to positions of power men of service, by instilling this principle into the heart of our youth, by satu- rating our literature with these teachings, let us attempt the long-coveted goal of happiness. By living a life like unto Him who, though He was King of kings, made himself servant of man, let us prepare for the last and greatest age of all time, the last great plane of humanity’s pathway of progress from a lost Eden to a glorious Millenium. 95 Ad.

When the first victim was ushered in wild shouts broke forth from a thousand throats, (or so it seemed to the victim) a maddeped roar that one might imagine he would have heard had he been present in a Roman arena during a festival day of the old Empire. Trembling as to his shanks and blinded as to his eyes the prisoner was led before the Lord High Judge and, amid the jeering cries of the throng, was sworn in- After this followed the mystic rites that initiate into this august body. Then followed numbers upon numbers of “victims” each one paying the penalty of membership. At the first shrill yelling of the spectators filled every nook and corner of the hall and drowned out the piteous whimperings of the “man at the stake.” But soon satiated with the continued sacrifices, the mob quieted down and settled themselves more comfortably to enjoy the excrueiating moanings of the hostages. The ring was now becoming so crowded with extra arms, legs, eyes, ears and other scraps of the human anatomy as to impede the work of the chief priests. Also these were be- coming weary with labor and were not sorry to see the last victim brought in. When this one was disposed of (or at least the greater part of him) the entire assemblage was entreated to sort over the pile of limbs, which by this time had reached nigh unto the ceiling, and restore to the rightful own- ers their missing members. This kind office being carried out, all joined hands in brotherhood, realizing that all that they had suffered was only to “make a Roman holiday.” 104 of. GEORGE E. CASE E. MCKINNEY J. SHERRILL M.

All spare time was devoted to the searching of musty scientific volumes, the compiling of data, and heated arguments about the correct pronunciation of the names of our ancestors. The Faculty became alarmed when they heard the Seniors get up in chapel and announce a meeting of the United Darwinians and the Trilobite Society, etc. They feared skepticism would be the outcome. At last when all data had been compiled, all books of the library devoured, the Faculty again felt relieved. But this fever was not so soon to be cured. The Class decided that, as all had learned all the scientists knew, they themselves should go in search of new species. Accordingly an expedition was arranged. One evening at about seven o’clock the little band of scientists set out prepared to invade the jungles west of the city. They were in search of any new development of mar- supials. They were taken to the jungle in a dray, and as they journeyed forth songs burst from their lips as this: A wave bore aloft a frenzy bumble bee. At last they arrived at the entrance of the jungle, and with a couple of natives for guides and a few dogs they plunged in. For many weary miles they fought their way amid thorn and briar, when at last scratched, bleeding and barefooted they came to a rock where a dog barked knowingly. Under that rock was some unknown species. What could it be? In an instant some of the loose rocks were removed and one of their number heroically risked his life by crawling down in the chasm. He car- ried a flash light but the light would not penetrate the darkness. Heroically he thruust his hand back into a recess in the chasm, risking his dear young finger for the sake of science. Another instant and he also came out heroic- ally ringing his hand in grief and excitement. He feared he would die from the bite before they could make known his discovery. He knew that many scientists had died making their greatest of experiments. “I think it was a brunette marsupial—it bit like one,” he declared. 114 BOOK IV ARTISTS G. M. ENGLE “DOC” CANUTSON H. F.
