Nearly 150 of us gathered from all parts of New England. We proved our mettle first by defeat- ing 1916 in the annual Freshman-Sophomore baseball game. The Soph- omores did the celebrating for us. however. A never-to-be-forgotten'' event was our class ride to Lake Grove with dear Uncle Johnny. Later in the fall, our team won the Inter-class Cross Country Run. In February, examinations re- duced our numbers to some extent. A Home-Going Party was provided for the unfortunate ones in John Bertram Hall. We shall never fully recover from the shock caused by the kidnapping of four members of the Prize Speaking Division! And do you remember the astonished applause that greeted the sleep- less, ragged victims as they paraded into Hathorn Hall during the Exercises? Two class parties are pleasant memories of the first year, one at Rand, the other, somewhat more enjoyable, at the home of President Chase. Another set of examinations, a long vacation and we were Sophomores--the usual brand! We refused to let the freshies win the annual baseball game and they say that H1917 was painted on the roof of the grandstand. We sur- vived Sophomore t'decs . class-room debates and more exams. During our Junior Year, we registered another victory, this time at the expense of the 1916 football team. Our Junior hockey team was never defeated! Our editors were intrusted with the inauguration of the newspaper form of the Bates Student. This form has been so attractive and complete that the class cannot over-estimate the valuable contributions of the literary men and women of 1917. A feature of our social life was a Valentine party in the assembly room of Roger Williams Hall, thought up, planned and carried through by the men. Our girls were the honored guests. A corn roast by the river furnished 1917 THE MIRROR 47 inueh fun. We were proud of our Junior lixhihition speakers. and the events of lvy Day crowned our first three years at Bates.

They have won Cl1illl1p1011SlllIJS, once i11 hockey, twice 111 baseball. three ti111es each 111 track illlll volley ball. The Rand Hall Gyin is covered with the lJd1ll1Cl'S of 1917! l11 literary activities we have ou1' stars. Nearly a score of our writers illltl poets have emblazoned their prod- ucts ill tl1e pages of the Monthly Supplement of the Bates Student. The Spot- ford Club will testify to our geniuses.

Yes, Athens gave us Bushy , and, like the Athenians of old. he is a gentleman and a scholar. At the end of his Junior year he had corraled more A 's than the rest of us can hope to have at the end of our college course. But pil- ing up A's is not his favorite past-time. Aside from study, Bush has two para- mount ambitions in life: Q15 to be able to talk on any subject, more or less intelli- gentlyg f2j to attend every dance there is going. He lives up to them both. He can talk about anything. And as for his ability in the terpsichorean art, he can dance any step anyone ever heard of, and a few more besides. This may explain his infatuation for Auburn. Bush also has had consid- erable experience in an editorial way. position on the Bates Student and Mirror. together with his dabbling in Government and Economics, seems to be driving him slowly but surely into politics, and we feel confident that a year or two will see him well advanced in the game .

Thruout his college days. Nemesis has had her eye on Charlie for two reasons: first, because he is a ministerg and secondly, because he resides in Roger Williams Hall. Here again we may have mixed the order of importance. But Charlie has outdistaneed Nemesis. The limelight recognized its affinity for him early in his Freshman year. That memor- able winter 's night visit to the Fair Grounds started his ball of fame rolling, and it has been gathering momentum ever since. Scholarship and debating claim him for their owng and the weight of his medals has imparted a decided droop to his should- ers. Charlie has been called a woman hater. VVhoever designated him as such certainly was not well informed.

Persistence and determination have characterized many small-sized people: look to your history for that. Ella aims t.o teach Latin for an indefinite period and has taken all of Freddie 's courses, we should judge. Worse yet, she just loves Latin Comp., and while she pours over suhjunctive clauses and discourse indirectly direct, she forgets the burdens of proctorship. Ella's oiiicial responsibilities and conscientious hours of study do not check her ready help in many social activi- ties, and in U. A. C.

Ile is a minister of the gospel. a business man, and a promoter of many different projects. His business ability has been amply shown as assistant manager of football. and as manager of hockey. In the latter sport he did much promotion work, and it was largely thru his eiforts that the building and maintenance of a iirstclass hockey rink on Lake Andrews was accomplished. Yet even 'tDick has had his failings. The co-eds were a source of annoyance to him for several years, but his Senior year has been calm in that respect and we know that one phase of Dick's future is settled.

At first she thot her fascination for these walks was due to her interest in birds, but Doug pointed out to her the fact that it was the Gay -e-ty ot' them. Besides bird walks Aileen is very much interested in her Latin class, from which she has been deriving many exotic ideas to put in practice in Rand Hall. Not only as an excellent scholar but also as an excellent athlete, Aileen, in spite of her many escapades, has been a valuable asset to the class. In the former she has captured all the scholarship prizes offered for women, besides putting Minnie to rout on many occasions, and in the latter has been one of the leading' factors in bring'- ing our class so many eliainpionships.

At present none of Bates' lesser-half of ereation are sueeeeding in finding favor in her sight. The reason may be that R-uth is interested in the stage-more particularly in war dramas. By the way, has anyone ever seen the Soldier Boym?

Laura is 21 quiet girl from the neighbor- ing city of Mechanic Falls. How she ever finds time to be with us as much as she does is a mystery, for Laura is a girl of many interests. The Mechanic Falls cars surely could not run without her constant patroiiagge. Her plans are to teach, altho later she may become an actress, already having distinguished herself in the role of Aunt Tilly. The restroom girls have always found her a source of knowledge on every subject, and when in need of a pencil, jack-knife, or watch, have always found Laura a very charitable individual.

Where eau we find a busier person. yet one who has more time to revel as she pleases in the philosophy, poetry, or current history which Coram Library affoids? She is rather partial to German, especially as taught, in Missouri, and might give us, who plan to teach the subject, good advice if she wished. The fact that Ida has been History assist- ant, and that she has lived in a dignified professional atmosiheie for two years, show to us her able and adaptive nature. Her power of adaptation is expressed in many ways, and we find her writing plays for pro- duction by that illustrious Spotford Club. which bring to her as much glory as her work on the gymnasium fioor, We all aspire to travel our country 0'er, but Ida has already begun her wanderings. While she has been in many states from Texas to Maine. her real home is that progressive region. the Middle West, of which its sons. on our faculty, so like to tell us. l Born in Reading, Kansas, November 17, l893g was graduated from Lisbon Falls High Sehool in 1913, entered Bates in Fall of 19135 Ivy Day Nominating Committee, Class Ode, Ivy Day, Spofford Club, Seeretary-Treasurer CIVJ g Phil-Hellenic Club, Secretary-Treasurer flVj 5 Enkukliosg Seniority, Head of Literary Department, Nlll116l'21lS in Baseball, Volley Ball and Gymnastics, degree, AB., thesis subject, The Spiritual Interpretation of History , No political or religious prefereneesq intended occupation.

It was at the end of our Sophomore year that we lost Eleanor, one who had gained many eoveted honors in prize speaking, debating, music. athletics, and other college activities. Indeed. we were much surprised and disappointed upon our return in the fall of 1915 to learn that she was 1101 10 return, hut had transferred her allegiance to Mt. Holyoke Uollege. Yet we know that her great loyalty to our class. so clearly demonstrated during two years, is still active, for she writes vs that her greatest enjoyment is thinking of Bates friends and Bates good times.

RALEIGH BARTON BOOBER ' ' RALEIGH ' ' A year of school teaching has not proved sutlieient to make this man a sedate individual, for he is just as full of life, fun and practical joking as when he dropped from our class nearly two years ago. Yet not alone as a live wire did he especially distinguish himself. but also as a valuable eonnnitteeman and organizer. The great triumvirate-Ilrooker, Stone and Boolwer-could certainly handle all class affairs to the queen 's taste. Altho the Junior class now sports his name on its honor roll, his roommate and most intimate friend, George tlreen, is a lfll 7-er.

She is a good illustration of the proverbial college woman 's versatility. At times we have seen her as tlighty, frivolous, and tlirtatious as all pretty girls have a right to lie. Again, when oeeasions arose, she has assumed the role of the experienced sehoolma'am and of the eonscientious Rand Hall proctor. And, needless to say, she has always made good. For two years llazel was one of us. and some at least found her a welcome and ever-present help in Sophomore Chem. But she heard the call of opportunity, namely, a friendly public school superintendent. and bade us farewell. Born New Portland. Me., Jan.

Maybe he wuz kiddin' us, but taint likely. Foxy ses we got de biggest chem class he ever had and dat it is gettin' de bes' marks an' dat he wants ter make it cr record breaker. Dat's our name. Jes' dis much erbout our scholarship. Our exoteric cogitations is allus promulgated wid a clearness. We never employs no promiscuous verbiage and de verbiage aint platitudinous. WE allus makes fer unity, coherence. and emphasis, wid improvements Willie Coleman aint never tought of. De Faculty is wise ter dis an' so we gits de high marks. Course. we cant allus study. Sometimes de women likes ter give de men de onct over. Uncle Johnnie knew dis when he gave us de car ride. Gee! Dat day we had a great time. All de cider a teller could drink and free eats. Den we has had corn-roasts galore, an' parties in Rand and Roger. Dem is some times. Onct in a while, de weaker sex gits tired o' de men an' has times by demselves,--celebratin' victories, hare an, houn' chases, an a lotter odder git-tergedder times. Sometimes when one o' dem has a birtday or a box from home, dey all have a feed 'bout leven oiclock at night. Nobody knows how dey sees ter eat in de dark 'cause dere aint no light in de women's dorms dat time o'night. Maybe dey has candles. Anyhow dey have dem feeds. Den sometimes de tellers like a little rough-house, like dem ol' days in John Bertram. Take a night like when dem Sophs came up ter git a guy for monkey- in' wid dere donkey dat had 1918 on it at de baseball game. When dey got dere dey found de steps barracaded wid a bed. fellers leanin over der railin's wid bed slats an, clubs. and odders wid hoses connected wid hot water or holdin pails o' water. Taint no need ter tell what dem Sophs did. Dey jest walked right up an turned round an walked right down agin. Den when we wuz Sophs, Gee! we wuz tough. Some o' de fellers went right out an got pinched puttin up posters an when de jedgc asted dem if dey wuz guilty, one guy ses 'Lpresent ! Den we invaded Roger wid all de ministers an made' life miserable fer all dem as wuz not Sophs until dey kicked us out. Anudder night we hooked de Freshies ice cream while dey wuz to a party. We didnt git it all but we got enough so de Freshies wanted ter lick us, but dey had on dere Sunday close an dasnt fight. So we're some class! We has our political machine what wont work, our brilliant fellers, our jokers, our loafers, an our lovers jes' like de odder classes. After all we aint so different. Dis is all we ,re willin' ter print. MAIL. 28. Easter vacation begins at noon. X41 XXX 5 UW o W i 'I ' N fa x X Sftg ' SMX IV x 1, ff T9 'lf' Q X? ..,,.. . QW ml.

Some of us lagged behind, but the Faeulty waited for us until the twenty- third. 'llhen things began, with Registration as the first number on the prograin of our ordeals. NVhen we reeovered, we found ourselves the largest elass that had ever entered the institution. With the help of the Faeulty, Y. M. t'. A. handbooks, and a liberal amount of free adviee from our innnediate predeeessors in the l4'resliman state. we managed to beeome fairly well domestieated in the plaee. We must eonfess to a considerable amount of obstin- aey, however, in refusing to traffie with insistent dealers in radiators and ehapel seats. . All sorts of parties and reeeptions were arranged for our benefit, but Um-le Johnny was the ehief faetor in getting us aequainted with Lake Auburn and with eaeh other. The new Bates Freshmen were not slow in setting' to work. We eheerfully won a. traek meet from the eity high sehools, and then, eneouraged by sueeess, proeeeded to fill up vaeaneies on all the varsity teams. Not satisfied with this, we introdueed a new intereollegiate sport in the eollege athleties by ereating a wrestling team. The Glee t'lub and the debating teams also felt our presenee. We survived the mid-year examinations with more or less sueeess, and quickly settled baek for several more weeks of ordinary toil. All this time we were in training. ln June. we showed the results of this preparation by fighting for our rooms as heartily as the boldest Junior. The final examinations were a mighty obstaele, but those of us who did not sueeumb to the after etfeets we1'e repaid for our struggle by the assuranee that we had reaehed the seeo11d stage in the evolution of a eollege student. In the fall, we eame onee more, this time with serene eonfidenee and a deter- mination to beeome suitable models of eonduet for the new l+'reshman elass. We began by showing the new eomers how to play baseball. Sinee then, night classes have been eondueted in several subjeets. The work, as a whole. has been highly successful. APRIL 1.

At any rate, the Class of 1020 is here, having entered with an enrollment of 1-H members. Our college career began on September 21, 1016. During the first chapel service, the members of the entering class were rigorously examined by the upperclassmen. VVe will leave to your imagination what their verdict was. During the week that followed, the Class Reception and the Freshmen- Sophomore baseball game occurred. The class ride, so kindly provided by Pro- fessor Jonathan Stanton, was twice postponed on account of the weather. When it was finally held, we made up for lost time and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. In the weeks that followed. the members of the class seized every opportunity to become acquainted with each other, and listened with attention to the advice offered by Upperclassmen and members of the Faculty. In short, every effort was made to become loyal students of Bates. Soon after college opened class meetings were held, and the class began to act more in unity. The above named ofhcers were elected, and later Carleton L. NViggin was made the Freshman member of the Student Council. 1920's first class party was held in the girl 's gymnasium at Rand Hall on the evening of March 24, 1017. The affair was a pronounced success in every way. The ice cream was particularly enjoyed. The class of 1920 is still less than one year old, but already it has figured prominently in the affairs of the college. Four of its members are letter men: Hickey, VViggin, and Cutler in football, and F. L. Jenkins in track. No spectacular claim can be made in the way of numbers, but we are glad to say that but few have been obliged to leave on account of 'tmental malady . By its willingness to promote the interests of Bates, and by its respectful observance of the college customs, the class of 1920 has secured for itself a reputation for progressiveness and enterprise. APRIL 2. Presiflcnt Wilson urges Congress to declare a state of war. 1917 THE MIRROR 145 Elite mar anh Obur nllvgr life E are living.: in a wonderful age. lt has been our privilege to live during: the greatest war of human history. And not only have we witnessed this great war, but also we have seen our own eountry drawn into the eonlliet, with attendant disruption in our National, State. and eollege life. Later we feel that we ean look baek with pride, as great as that with whieh those who lived during the Revolutionary and Vivil wars did, at our partieipation in a struggle for freedom and demoeraey. 'l'he European War developed and had its beginning during: the sunnner between our Freshman and Sophomore years. No one dreamed then that before our graduation, America would be at war. For nearly three years. therefore, there was no perceptible rutlle in our eollegxe aetivities. 'I'rue, events transpired which threatened the neutrality of our eountry, but as these were gradually overeome we trusted that direet participation would not be neeessary. Then eame our Senior year, and the announeement by Germany of unre- strieted submarine warfare. National honor and previous deela rations of poliey llClIl2lllll0tl the assertion of our rights, baeked by military force. Early in February, inlmediately following Germany 's deelared intentions and aetion, the Government severed diplomatie relations. 'l'wo months later President Wilson urged t'ongress to deelare a state of war,--whieh both llouses did a few days afterwards. 'llhen it was that we began to experienee the etieets of war in our eollege life. Following the example of many other eolleges, military drill was instituted at Hates thru the medium of the Student Couneil and a faeulty eom- mittee. Voluntary drill was deeided upon for the remainder of the year at least, and some hundred and twenty men enrolled. Mueh interest was mani- fested, and training has gone on, in spite of the faet that fully half of the men have left the institution for serviee,-military. agrieultural, or industrial. 'l'his training possibly will aid the men in seeuring positions as non-eommissioned oltieers in the large army to be raised by seleetive draft. It has been our sorrow to lose several from our number so near graduation. The eontinuity of our eollege life has been broken and t'ommeneement plans greatly disturbed. Pop Mills and Rel Purinton were the first to enlist, joining the eoast patrol. 'Fhey are now stationed in Boston awaiting patrol assignments. Walter Oakman left shortly afterwards for farm serviee at his home in North Marshfield, Mass. Waldo Uaverly and Vhester Oliver also took up farm work, and we were mueh surprised reeently to learn that Waldo had married on May lil. We wish him well in both ventures. Bill Allen seenred a position as ehemist at the Lewiston lileaehery and Ilye Works and dropped college activities. Other farm recruits have been Kenneth Wilson and lint-li 146 THE MIRROR 1917 DeWever. Wilson and Swift, 'l8. have formed a partnership for productive purposes at the latter's home, while Huck is employed near Boston. Then Pedbereznak departed for home to engage in manufacturing munitions. His roonimates. Stettbacher and Pendelow, left for home a week or so later. They will engage in some line of industrial work. These losses have meant much to us. Yet we trust that many of them will tind it possible to return to the CUllllllCl1C9lll9lll exercises, and that all will be present at our first reunion. A Spvriul 4 lrrtinn E say that public opinion is a great factor in influencing legislation. and that college men and women are leaders in molding this public senti- ment. The present crisis has brot several important questions quite forcibly before the public inind,Yso forcibly, in fact, that he who has not formed some opinions on them must be indeed ignorant or indifferent. This fact sug- gested the interest that the class might manifest, not only now but also in the future, when some of these issues have become law, in knowing to what extent the class has advanced beyond public opinion. And to secure the expression of the class. a straw vote was taken on what seemed to be eight of the most. urgent. questions of the day. The results, in general. were encouraging from the stand- point of progress. The first question bore on the selective draft bill passed by Congress, and asked if the various members of the class would have authorized the congress- man from their district to have voted for the bill. The class favored the draft for the emergency almost unanimously. twenty-five men and twenty-seven women voting for it, and only two and three in opposition. The question of compulsory military training after the war for all men of military age and fitness developed more difference of opinion. Twenty men favored such a policy and eight opposed. The women also manifested considerable militarism, as indicated by the eighteen to eleven vote. State equal suffrage. interesting because Maine votes on the question this fall, was passed by the vote of the men, but with a margin none too safe. Their vote was eighteen to eleven. With this as a basis of opinion f1'om college men, we fear that woman suffrage will not win by a large plurality this September. Twenty-three women favored suffrage for the women of their state, while seven opposed. The results on National equal suffrage were nearly the same. the ballots counting nineteen and ten in the ease of the men. and twenty-five to five in the case of the women. A State bone dry' bill met with much favor with the class. Only six men out of twenty-eight voted against it, while two votes in thirty was the count in 1917 T H E M T R R O R 147 the ease ofthe women. lividently a few who did not helieve in State aridity did helieve in National prohibition, for only two votes were registered against it, and these two hy men students. Perhaps the most interestin,q results were ohtained on the question as to whether Teddy Roosevelt should he allowed to take an army of volunteers to Europe. 'Phe opinion of the class seemed to coincide with the known convic- tions of the l'resident and military leadersfgnamely, that Roosevelt should he kept at home. 'l'he vote was very close, though, thirteen in favor ot' his going and fifteen opposed according.: to the vote ot' the men: and 'l'ourteen to fifteen. respectively, in the ease of the women. .Xt the time the vote was taken, the National llouse and Senate were trying: to decide differences of opinion in con- ference committee, the Senate heingr in favor and the llouse opposed. Later the Ilouse reversed its vote and sent hack a tavorahle report 'lo the committee. 'l'hen it was passed hy hoth llouses, altho the President refused authority for Teddy to go. Thus, it can he seen that the extreme closeness was justified. The final matter to he settled was the old taritl' issue. Should taritt he for revenue only, or for protection? 'l'he men. perhaps more familiar with the true merits of the question, grave tariff for protection only a fifteen to twelve margin, in spite of the fact that the class is strongly Republican. The women were for protection hy nineteen to six. Evidently the issue is still alive, and only time can change archaic conceptions of National policy. Anyway, it is interesting to measure ourselves with the degree of progress in public sentiment. Also, it is noticeable that the views of the men and women were almost identical.

The Hales Sliulcnl first appeared in 1873 in the form of a monthly magazine edited by the Junior class. 1Vomen appeared on the board for the first time in 1883. About 1890 the number of editors began to increase. occasionally a new cover design appeared, and various headings and departments also developed. As years went on the tendency was to devote more space to news and less to matters of pure literary nature. ln 1998 plans were actually drawn up with the intention of publishing a weekly paper to handle news only and a monthly magazine which should contain only literary contributions. This plan was not adopted until the present year. i At present the Student is in the hands of the Bates Publishing Association. The officers of the association consist of a president, vice-president, secretary, a treasurer. a board of directors, an editorial board, and the business manager. All subseribers to the Student are members of this association. As we have said before, the honor of the great success that has come to the Nfudent as now organized goes to the class of 1917. We would not wish, how- ever, to fail in expressing our appreciation to our immediate predecessors for the part which they took in securing the change to the present form. Our part was to assist in this reorganization and then to demonstrate the great possibilities which it furnished. To Mr. Bacon goes the distinction of promoting the new venture during its early stages. and of very etticiently outlining its broad policy. He found able assistants in Alton Bush, the News Editor, and Alice Lawry, the sponsor for the Magazine Department. A glance at the Magazine Supplement will show the untiring etl'orts which Miss Iiawry made in presenting a literary department worthy of an institution like liates. Further scansion will demon- strate the great extent to which the members of the Senior class contributed to its columns. The unusual literary ability of the class made Miss Lawry's task of critical discrimination extremely ditlieult. The news department found a. willing worker in Mr. Bush, whose efforts enabled the editor-in-chief to devote the greater part ot' his time to the editorial column and the general policy of the paper. Societies. college functions, ath- letics and various other aetivities were much more adequately represented than under the limitations of the old magazine. The new system has already shown its great advantages, and we are proud that it fell to our lot to lead the way. 50 THE MIRROR 1917 is R3 2 9- -5 N N I-I 9 N 5 1917 T ll E M li R li O R 151 Greek Wag, i1llIehw NSE'l l'liEl.7 conditions and the withdrawal from college ot' several of the characters have made the work of those in charge ot the Greek play very ditticull. 'l'he play itselt' will be the most elaborate ot' any ever presented at a liates Uonimencenient. 'l'l1e story ot' the tragedy by ltluripides is as follows: Jason, the son of lolcos, was driven from his kingdom by His uncle Pelias, and was sent away to a mountain in the care ot' tfhiron, the Antaur. When lie grew up, however, he returned to his father 's land and demanded that his uncle give up to him his throne. Pelias consented on two conditions: that Jason should bring back the soul of his kinsman Phryxius from the lower world, and that he should discover the place of the golden ram which Phryxius had sacri- ficed. In both of these tasks Jason was successful thru the help of Medea, the wild enchantress of Colchis. Medea and Jason returned triumphantly to the kingdom of Pelias, and there Medea caused Pelias to die. Jason was not able to retain his throne, however, and heand his beloved were forced to leave the country. Jason proved ungrateful for all the help Medea had given him and deserted her to marry the daughter of Creon, ruler of Corinth. The drama will be presented 011 the steps of Coram Library, and there will be beautiful color effects by means of electric lights. hast year fully three thou- sand people witnessed the play lphigenia.

Nine- tenths of us first heard of Bates thru the advertising given the college by its athletic teams, The value of college athletics is unquestioned. That we have not been very successful in competition with most other colleges during our course is a fact. There must be a reason for this slump. We all have our ideas as individuals regarding present conditions, but in this article an attempt will be made to sunnnarize popular opinion. NVe have a good athletic tield. When Garcelon Field is completed according to plans we will have one of which to be proud. We have good baseball and football tields. A new track is under construction and, when completed, will compare favorably with any in New England, possibly excepting those at Har- vard and Yale. An eight-foot iron fence has been constructed on the Bardwell Street and Central Avenue sides. Hedges are now being planted inside the iron fencing. This fall the land on the Parker Hall side of the track will be plowed, graded and seeded. When the land to the north of Garcelon Field can be pur- chased. this also will be graded and included in the present area. That is the best that can be said of our equipment. A new gymnasium is needed badly. The present one is entirely inadequate to meet the demands. The tloors are dusty, and everyone ducks the work there when possible. Our football teams suffer more than the rest, and the men have insufficient equipment for the games. Apparatus and locker-rooms are a necessity. The college needs money for these purposes. The fact that we have not won more games has been blamed on almost every- body. The concensus of opinion is that two or three reasons stand out more prominently than any others. The Alumni have been criticized quite severely because our Freshman classes do not contain men of known ability. Bates athletes, with few exceptions, are made on Garcelon Field. Most of them are just beginning to reach high development when it is time for them to graduate. To compete on favorable terms with the colleges in our class, it is necessary to start on nearly equal terms with them, and this we have not been doing. It is squarely up to us when we graduate to do our share. The student body, some of them at least, criticize themselves just as harshly as they do the graduates,-and perhaps they are more to blame. A more altruistic spirit might be fostered by those who need financial help thru employ- ment. There are opportunities for self-help both on the campus and in the city. Why not give the preference for employment on the campus to the needy 1917 'I' H E M I R R O R 155 athletes t? 0110 C'21l1l10l very w0ll put 111 two hours o11 the field 111 football, base- ball, or t1'a0k and tl1011 rush off H10 field early to get ll0Wl1l0WIl, and give l1is best cttorts to H10 college 111 atl1l0t10s.

'11' ea PLACID LAKE ANDREWS AND THE OLD GYM 1513 THE MIRROR 1917 illnnthall YR football teams during our four years in eollege have not been altogether successful. The players have worked hard and faithfully, but in most of the games have been out-weighed and out-played, though not out-ganied. The one thing that we can be proud of is that no Bates 'team ever quit. Many howl that a light fast team can defeat a heavy team. but this cannot happen when the heavy team not only has speed but a strong offensive. Bates has developed two or three defensive men who would compare with any in the State. but has always been weak in developing balanced offensive strength. In our Freshman year. after taking a good beating at the hands of Maine on a swampy iield. we came baek and held Bowdoin to a 10 to T score, and Colby, boasting a 35 to 6 victory the previous year, to an 8 to 6 score. The winning touchdowns in both games came during the last few minutes of play. Our only State vietory in our Sophomore year was administered against our old rivals,-Bowdoin. The score was 27 to O. Memories of a snake dance thru the quiet streets of Brunswick will long stand out in our thoughts. It was the worst beating ever given by either of the rivals. Our Junior year saw an unsuccessful team as far as championship victories were concerned. VVe didn 't win a State contest. ' In our Senior year we probably had the best-balanced outfit of the four years. and this is an encouraging sign for the future. YVe won from Maine for the first time in years by a score of 6 to 0. Bowdoin and Colby succeeded. in defeating us by small margins. 1917 THE MIRROR 157 Our elass has furnished the following letter men: f'obb, Hutler, Kerr, Dewever. ffonnors, Davis. Murray, lyennedy, Stettbaeher, and manager George Green. Vulili playe-l only one year and then transferred to Syraeuse. ltutler was eleeted eaptain at tlie end of the Sophomore year, but entered tfatholie l'niversity that fall. Kerr also did not return for a third year. IJeWever was eaptain during the last two years and played a wonderful game. t'obb, llutler. lJeWever and Ilavis have several times been ehosen for All-Maine teams. We played one game as a elass against 17116. This oeeurred in the fall of our Junior year, and. despite the faet that we we1'e on the short end of the betting before the game, the team sueeeeded in breaking up their numer- ous shifts and won 12 to ll, largely tln'u the efforts ol' Peterson and Pedbereznak. An interelass ganre this year was prevented by early snow. CAPT. DEWEVER Eazrhall '9EASEBALIi has been our most sueeessful sport. Our n , sehedules have been longer and more varied than in any other braneh of athleties. and our strength more favorable in eomparison with other eolleges, ln our Freshman year we seeured the only ehampion- ship in a major sport that has eome to Bates sinee we entered eollege. Four straight wins gave us a eommand- ing lead. Then two defeats by Bowdoin put her on an equal footing with us for the eup. The play-off for the title took plaee on Gareelon Field, and we shall never for- get that game. The final seore was 12 to 10. The Hates team that year eompared favorably with any eollege team in the East. During the last three years we have not been so sueeessful, but have had fairly good teams. In our Sophomore year we sueeeeded in winning from lla rvard in a hard fought game, mainly thru timely hitting and the good pitehing of Monte Moore. This year medioere material and the uneertainty of athleties in general have somewhat eurbed interest, and made Captain Davis' task 4 U extremely ditlieult. All out of-the-state games were ean- eelled. CAPT. DAVIS 158 THE MIRROR 1917 Our contribution to the college baseball teams has not been large in numbers, but good in quality. Butler and MacDonald played regularly the first two years. and Davis made his letter. In our Junior year Davis and MacDonald were regulars. This year we have had only one representative. Captain Davis. Butler and MacDonald were chosen members of the All-Maine team for two years, and MacDonald was also chosen a member of an All-New England team at the end of his Sophomore year. This mythical team was picked by umpire Ennis. Davis looks good to be selected this year. As a class, we have been victorious in every contest, winning from 1916 in the fall of our Freshman year, 2 to 0, and from 1918 in our Sophomore year, 9 to 3. Erark E came to college at the close of a prosperous period in track athletics. For several years Bates had had excellent teams, winning a State championship and being runner-up in several others. The best that we can say of our track teams is. that they have had good coaching. No track follower will dispute this statement. Our first year we had Uoach Lathrop, a man of many years experience at Harvard and an accepted authority on all things pertaining to track competition. To fill the vacancy caused by his resig- nation, Coach Ryan was secured and no man ever worked harder to develop a. winner. He instituted afternoon meets, which proved a big success the first two 1917 THE MIRROR lm years. 'l'his year. traek aml hoekey eontlietefl antl support was evenly tlivitletl between the two sports.

VVe have an ideal rink which is located to the rear of the gymnasium. In our Sophomore year Pedbereznak pushed thru a proposition to dam up what previous to that time was known as the frog pond , and since then Lake Andrews. Nothing definite in regard to hockey was attempted u11til the following year. when class teams were organized and a series played for the class championship. This ended in an unsatisfactory tie, for we were confident of our ability to trim 1918, the other prominent contestant for honors. In February of that year a team was hastily picked and, without any coaching, held the experienced Brunswick A. A. to a low score. This year hockey was instituted on a sounder basis. Elwell was chosen manager and Dr. Ness, a former player for McGill University, secured for a coach. To defray the expenses necessary to maintain a first class rink. a hockey club comprising the citi- zens of Lewiston and Auburn was formed. A small fee for membership was charged. Lights were installed around the rink. and the ice kept clear of snow. The team, under the leadership of Captain Pedbereznak, had a most successful season and actually made money thru its good management. Games were played with Bowdoin, the University of Maine, the Country Club of Portland. and various local organizations. No one doubts that the Athletic Association will accept it, but whether as a major or minor sport, is undecided as yet. iqnrkvg CAPT.

R O R 1917 1Mnmm'a Athlvtira O OUR other half, we, the better half of the illustrious class of 1917, do humbly and gratefully dedicate these preliminary remarks. Men of 1917! When in future years, while pouring over the pages of this pot-pourrz' edition, ye shall by chance turn to these pages, will it not perhaps give you pleasure to remember that the gentler half of your class possessed all the stern and enduring qualities of the Amazonian dames? Perhaps you have lJ6611 reared with the idea that women of that good old type never did exist. You may have considered it merely as a myth or fable, but behold, the proof to the contrary is placed before your eyes. Women of the clinging vine type are no longer in vogue, as we the hale and buxom damsels of 1917 give ample proof. We live in deeds not words. Conse- quently, you may well ask, iiD3ll1S6lSl What have ye done? Behold! beneath thy gaze, do we unroll the history of our exploits. ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION BOARD We Have Won Many Championships. The track championship has been ours for four yearsg the volley ball crown has graced us during the past three yearsg laurels for baseball encircled our brows during Sophomore and Junior yearsg the hockey title came our way our third year, as well as the gymnastic champion- shipg and even the second team in volley ball won out last year and the year before. 1917 'I' ll IC M I ll If U I3 N57 We are .Year-I'lzumpinns in 1lie fra' reinaining alhletie aelivilies.

Yes, Greenie , Lewis, Peg , HNQWllll6H, Reba and Millie we want to thank you for your magnificent attempts to uphold the honor of 'l7. Our captains have been Lougee, first and last, with Burnett and Berry sand- wiched in between for a relish, 9 AVE we ever Won the Volley Rall Championship? Thrice.

CYou see graduation is not yet passed, also-final exams. Get thee hence Nemesis lj - Vile have seen fit to try out a new captain 'each year. Our Freshman year, we tried out Ruth Lewis and found her pure gold. Our Sophomore year, Evie Manchester showed up well, and taught us how to bear victory with equanimity. Our Junior year, Julia Farnsworth again demonstrated the same proposition that Evie stated and proved the year before, and this year Esther Wills has delighted our souls by leading us to our third consecutive Volley Ball victory.

But we did not need the first place in the shot put to convince us of our own importance. The score of the track meet is sutlicient for us. 215--lnwti-3, That's a signal victory or a safe combination for 1917. Take it either way. XVe hereby do humbly petition the au,9,'ust authorities of Hates College to have reserved for us for all time the Track Banner which is graced by no other numerals than those of 1917.

I 9 AVE we ever won the Baseball Championship '? Why, OF I'0I'RSE! Not once but TWIl'E.' And we certainly have you to thank, Skinnie , not only as the best Amazonian twirler in college, but because for three years you have etliciently steered our baseball ship thru calm and troubled waters. tWe wont make any mention of the baseball team. freshman year, under you, Lug '. 1Ve know only too well what a farce it wasl. This year there was a slight change in the personelle of our team not indicated in the picture, and, since it was impossible to have a lifesize picture taken of us in our positions on the field, we'll try to sketch the changes in words. This year we were obliged to shift our first baseman, Grace Berry, to catcher, and, altho Eaarhall 19,17 'll H E M ll? R 0 R 171 she played up magnificently, we still felt her loss at tirst base. Reba, 'l'onnny , and Sarah, we are grateful to you for filling' the places left vacant by the flmnise of some of our veterans. llowever, the veterans Skinner, lierry. l'alnpbell, Millspaugh, liougee. and Smith were left to form a nucleus for the new teani. But hold on a minute! This account is not complete without a tribute to Gram Smith who leads the list in the world 's batting series. I Punta HERE really is not much to say in regard to tennis, because the season is yet too early to prophesy how the finals of singles or doubles will come out. Still there has been a great deal of tennis enthusiasm this year, and 1917 has given evidence of even more pep than any of the other classes. The prospect is that the finals will be very close and exciting, and that the victorious team will win thru luck v alone. However, if 1917 should happen to win out you can change the previous sen- tence to suit your individual preference. XL Sutiice it to say. that even in event of a championship we cannot hold back the llllRROR any longer. Consequently, he who is particularly interested in the outcome of tennis may consult Evelyn Manchester or Ruth Moody. VVe are sorry to lose from our tennis ranks this year, Grace Berry, thrice our class champion. Still we know that Grace is only doing her duty, when she neglects tennis in favor of playing the role of .. -. .-- --.L , M Medea. Grace, we congratulate you on your good sportsmanship and loyalty to the best interests of the class: for we realize that a good Greek play is much more important than a tennischampion- ship. Moreover, in spite of your prowess and skill in the game, we feel per- fectly safe in leaving the tennis championship to Bvio and Moo Moo. 172 T H IC M I If R 0 R 1917 Mmm llinmen Glhampinnz 4' ERE we are the self-eonfessed vliznnpions of the f-lass and of the eollege: for we are perfeetly frank when any one questions us in regard 'to our athletic prowess. We don 't believe in hiding our lights under at bushel. Take a last long look ut us, the Ainuzonian dunies of 1917, for it may be the last time you will ever he able to behold us in the f.'fill'l'l of champions.

Equality and fair- pg play are exemplitied in all her departments, in all her activities. Many sources contribute toward the realization of this ideal, but none more completely nor more successfully than the Student Council. Forming. as it does, the connecting link between undergraduates and faculty, its members men representative at once of their class and ot their college,-it finds a vital mission to fulfil. How efficiently it discharges it duties can be judged from the results accomplished. Since its inception, the Council has been a factor in campus affairs. As years have gone by, more and more power has been delegated to it, until at the present time it enjoys an influence hitherto unknown. Altlio it has worked silently, it has Worked none the less effectively. Few of the uninitiated have any conception either of the amount or of the moment of the business discussed behind its closed doors. As a matter of fact. no question concerning the welfare of the college is ever decided without first obtaining the opinion of the men on the Council. Space allows us to mention but a few of the things which the men on the Council from the Class of 1917 have been instrumental in accomplishing during the past year. The adoption of a Bates Button : the solution of the Com- mon 's Situation g the launching of the Bates Voluntary Military Plan g the acquisition of the power to appoint candidates for Athletic Managers gwthese are four of the many instances in which the Council has proved its Worth. Men from the Senior class to serve on the Council have been, P. W. Lane. Philip VVebb. Sumner Davis, Ernest Elwell. T. E. Bacon. J. J. Butler, and Kenneth Wilson. Lane has been president during the past year, and Davis vice-president. Unfortunately, Davis was not present for the picture. 1917 '1' H E N I R R 0 R 177 Elinlitim 1511111 1Jl'11S1.fIC11f, R11BERT A1,v,1N GRE1a1N1: 11'z'1'c-I'1'cs1'1Ic111, l+l11w.11111 11111111141 i111NN111'1S Nl'f'I'l'lIll'.lj, W11,1.1.111 A1,1,1+:N Tl'I'llSlll'I'l', 1X1,'1'11N W11,1,1.111s 131's11 HE Po111i0s 11111111 was 0s1111111s11011 111 -111110, 15112, 111 1110 1llS115.l'2l11111l of 1,111- fQSS0l'S Gould 211111 1'il1'1'011.

BUSH SMITH B. IIOPKINS LL great movements, whether religious, scientific or otherwise. result in organization for the furtherance of their work. In order that those students, interested in science and anxious to meet for the exchange of ideas and the presentation of specially prepared papers on any phase of it, might have opportunity to do organized ultra-classroom work the Jordan Scientific Society was incorporated in 1910. Membership was limited to eighteen, and this arrangement has been continued. These members are selected from the Senior and Junior classes. selection being based upon proficiency in any of the scientific subjects. Meetings are held bi-monthly and each member is required to present at least one paper on some scientific subject during the course of the year. lt has been the custom of late years for the society to visit plants of interest in Lewiston or some neighboring city. Last year a trip was made to Portland where the Casco Tanning Fo., Winslow Stoneware Co., and the Warren Paper Cofs plants were visited. A very enjoyable banquet was held at the Congress Square Hotel in the evening. This year no trip was made, due to unsettled conditions on account of the war and a somewhat lax interest on the part of the members. This laxity is difficult of explanation unless the same reason is ascribed that is credited to business depressions,-overproduction in time of prosperity. Can it be possible that some clubs are clubbing others to death? Science should not suffer such an ignominious death! 1917 'I' Il IC M I If R 0 li 179 Svpuffiirh Glluh l'res2'rlenl, FRANK E, lfENNEDY l'ire-I'rwsiflrnI, Aiaer: IC. liixwizy NreiwInmy-7'i'ff1sio'ri', lm ll, l,.XlNI'I ENIOR memhers ot' Spotloral t'luh look haf-li upon two years ot' weekly sessions with a warm reeogfnition ot' all this literary fellowship has meant in our eollegre life.

The elfect of this stimulus at Rates was the discovery and incorporation of the Military Science Club, a rejuvenated branch of the old Polymnia Soeiety. The credit for this discovery and of its success belongs to Dr. Tubbs. a close student of military affairs and a powerful tonic in maintaining life even where the spark is low. Innnaediately after its inception in 1915, great interest was manifested and considerable competition developed for membership. Enrollment has been limited to twenty-tive men, consisting of ten Seniors, eight Juniors, and seven Sophomores. During the current year no definite plan of work has been followed. Dr. Tubbs has given several lectures upon Mexico and the progress of the war in Europe, in addition to discussing various Civil War battles to illustrate what military strategy means in the win- ning of victories. l'eriodically. papers have been presented by the different members. Thru the kindness of Dr. Tubbs the club has a library of up-to-date issues of the International Military Digest, the Military Historian and liconomist, and the Military Service Institution. 'l'herefore, it can be seen that the aim of the society is to make its members familiar with military tactics, strategy, inventions, and innovations. ln general, the meetings have been well attended and the interest keen. We feel that the club has amply proved its right to be classed along with the other societies on the campus. 1917 TTT IC M I R ll O ll 181 Brutzrhrr Herrin President, LAIYRENCE GRAN THoMPsoN VliC'i'-PI'6'S2.dFIlf, SMITH li. lloviilxs N4'f'l'l'flll'.ll, HENRY J, S'I'E'l I'B.Xl'llRR HE llontsoliei' Vorvin was orgrzniiizell in 151113, 'Pho vlnli tlourisliell for il your or two until, on zwooiiiit ot' Ili: l.oonz1i'4l's illness, it licwniiie oxtinvt. ln 1914 it wus i'0o1'g1:inizell. nnll liens live-onw ono of tho lc-nlling: ll0llllI'ill'f' societies of tlio c-ollegxo.

Those seniors who have attained high rank in English during the first two college years are eligible for membership, and each year certain of the Junior class of superior literary ability are elected by as vote of the society. Seniority is divided into three departnients-dramatic, literary, and debating. Each member allies herself with that branch which is especially adapted to her interests. The programs are varied. including a study of standard poems, readings from modern poets and short story writers, original work, opera studies, current events, debating and dramatic work. Efforts are made that the programs may be entertaining as well as instructive, striving at all times toward the betterment of its members and the college of which it is a part. , During the past year Miss Mary Cleaves, '17, has been chairman of the Dramatic Department, Miss Ida Paine, '17, of the Literary Department, and Miss Hazel Campbell, '17, of the Debating Department. 1917 'I' H IC MIRROR 185 Glerrlv illrzlnraiu l'1'cs1'flm1f, AR'1'lll'K, A.

Chapter instituted, June 21. 1915 PRIL ao, 1916, was a significant date in the forensic history of Bates College, when it was granted a charter from Delta Sigma Rho, the national honorary fraternity founded to give recognition for excellence in intercollegiate contests, in debate and public speaking. 1916 marked the decennial of this organization, which altho young in years has come to occupy a prominent place among the societies of our colleges and universities. The founders of Delta Sigma Rho did a meritorious work in calling the attention of college students and faculties, not away from proper athletic endeavor, but to the giving of a larger appreciation to the workers in the library and on the debating platform. Forty-six of the leading institutions of learning in the country, including Amherst. Colgate, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Princeton. and Yale, have charters and their men are proud to wear its key and to learn that 0ratory is the key to power.

Altho many trips of former years have been thoroly enjoyed and have proved successful in a financial way, the men of 1917 who have been on all the trips made by the musical clubs since they entered college feel that the tour of 1916-17 has been the best of them all. During the winter holidays, a personnel of twenty-eight men, the largest number' ever taken on such an extended trip, under the able direction of Manager Fiske visited eleven cities and towns in Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts. Portsmouth, N. H., Kennebunk- port, Biddeford, Cumberland, and Waterboro in Maine, Dover, N. H.g Tops- tield, Saugus. Stoneham and Woburn in Massachusetts, and Gorham, Maine, were visited in order, and everywhere large and enthusiastic audiences and most satisfying receptions greeted the Garnet representatives. The one thing that seemed to make the Bates concerts preferable to those of other college glee clubs was the great variety of numbers on the program.-selections by the glee and mandolin clubs separate and combined, readings, vocal and instru- mental solos, vocal and instrumental quartets, the Loyal Song, and the Color March, the words and music of which were written by the two leaders, Lane and Pendelow. The Loyal Song started the concert off with a good lively selection, while the Color March inevitably made a great hit and left the audience wanting more. The College Quartet, consisting of Sherman, '17, first tenor, Quackenbush, '18, second tenor: Lane, '17, first bass, and Renwick, '18, second bass, has contributed in no small degree to the successful season enjoyed by the combined clubs. In addition to forming an important part of all glee and mandolin club concerts. the quartet assisted by a reader, has given entertainments in the follow- ing places: R-umford Falls, Gardiner, Sabattus, Lewiston and Lisbon Falls. During the Boston trip the showing made by the quartet in Billy Sunday's tabernacle demonstrated clearly that Bates has reason to feel justly proud of her musical representation. A 1 ,T1 Elite Glheme Male Qbuartvt The Chase Male Quartet of Bates College was organized in the fall of 1915 with the following personnel: first tenor, John L. Sherman, ,175 second tenor, Dyke L. Quackenbush, '18, baritone, Ernest F. Upham, '17, second bass, Erle B. Renwick, 'l8. Mr. Renwick served as vocal soloist, Mr. Upham as piano soloist and accompanist, and Theodore E.

This group was the cause of the most expensive season in all band annals. Truly, money disperseth rapidly in the grasping hands of llnionism. With the first fiurries of snow, young hopefuls sprang from all corners of the campus to try out the latest fad-a new band. Never will the inmates of Parker, Roger Williams, and the surrounding residences forget that chaotic winter. Many a student, apparently safe amid his sheets, dreaming of spring and oblivion, became dimly conscious that cars were doing the Charlie Chaplin around corners.-seemingly right under his bed. The persistency of these sounds would keep him awake, and allow unhallowed thots and expressions to permeate his system. Of course he would investigate: only to find a youthful enthusiast trying out the high ones on his new swinette. Many a man has been lullabyed to sleep by the lowing herds, which, if translated, would mean diminutive Doc Barrows syncopating some extended trombonism into the pervading atmosphere. Many a door-today-bears marks of the angry mob which attempted occasionally to reach these noises, individually or collectively, in a none too gentle fashion. Many a brave man has hidden behind his cot. to keep his darkened soul from the seeming wiles of the Salvation Army, only to find his delemma to be a combination like this: a chum, some half-jointed 1917 T H E M 1 R R O Hi 195 musicians, and a few Bates yells. We must hand the laurels to the victims as well as the victim-makers for the band which came out of this chaos. lt. was a band indeed, in spite of remarks to the contrary. The new organization made its initial appearance at the indoor meet, and its quality was a genuine surprise to everyone. Later. at the outdoor games, it played with credit, especially at the State track meet in Brunswick. ln fact, repeated ha.nds', were given it from the grandstand. Thruout it was a success. Last. fall, the band fell heir to an especially musical freslnnan class, and, combining the old with the new, was much improved in quality. lt played very successfully at the football games and at the indoor meet. This spring, however, owing to war ls disruption of athletics and other activities, very little band work has been needed. It has played with its usual pep and enthusiasm at the few games that have been played, and the drum corps has played in several parades. The class of 1917 leaves to the college an excellently well-balanced band. The sponsor for this progress has been Manager Wiggin, thru whose efforts light was brot out of chaos and organization from disruption. Proper leadership in the future, with a fair amount of new material. should ensure a band as success- ful as that of 1912. Flhv tlbrrhenira EaNEs'r F. UPn.xM, Lauder USIC hath charms for beasts. However, for the past few years the beasts have been Without music as far as an orchestra was concerned. The year 1917 saw a great revival, which would compare favorably with those of the famous Billy Sunday. All at once, from what seemed to be a dead coal sprang forth a living flame, which has been the means of enlivening many a dry debate or lecture during the past indoor season. The full orchestra has consisted of ten pieces. altho on many occasions, where the treasury was nearly empty, the number has been decreased to four. This combination, consisting of Upham, pianist and leader, Gould, violin: McKown, tromboneg and llupfer, cornetist, has proved very popular and played, not only at the numerous college functions, but at many of the activities down town. All musical organizations have their place, and surely the orchestra has now established the place which it formerly held at Bates. 196 THE MIRROR 1917 Uhr Qlnllege Glhnir HE choir this year has done more and better work than ever before. Lead- ing the singing at chapel every morning has been only a small part of its work. lt has sung on special occasions thru the entire year and we have been glad to hear it. Among the most noteworthy occasions at which the choir has taken a prominent part are the various vesper services, especially the one when we heard Gounotls Gallia q the choir concert which was made doubly enjoy- able hy the 'cello solo work of Carl NVebster of Boston: and the impressive cere- monies attending the installation of the Gamma Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa at Bates. Solos by E. B. Renwick and J. L. Sherman have furnished added attractions for the programs. Yes, we can truthfully say that we areproud of our choir, and that we appreciate the hours they have spent under the direction of Mr. Goss, in order that the chapel services might betit the beauty of the chapel in which they were held.

It may be that the clever sophs have been reading the item in Fifty Years Ago , which told of the stealing from Bow- doin college of a bust of the president and its shipping to a distant college as a gift from Bowdoin. Possibly, the Bates sophs have shipped oil' the four freshies to Bowdoin, to Colby. to Maine, or some more remote institution--just as ar gift from Bates. Say, if you will gentle reader, that thc information contained in that open- ing paragraph is nothing to worry about. We have saved the sob-puller for the last. The four freshmen were due to take part in the Freshman Prize Declama- tions Saturday afternoon, and how we ask can a fellow deliver a prize spiel in Hathorn hall when he is two miles or so away and securely tied up ? Answer: He can't. t'The freshmen who were thus cruelly stolen from their rooms while their mothers were 11ot looking were Herbert Hinton, president of the classg Charles Chayer. taken along so the others could sit on him: Theodore Bacon, and Perley Lane.--the latter a student of East Hall CJ. 15.3, while the first three are study- ing for the ministry, and are, therefore. Roger Williams roomers. Hy chapel time Saturday morning the Bates College campus had assumed such an atmosphere as is so vividly described in The Mysterious Mystery of the Missing Mins, Miscel , by Newton Newkirkq and when it was learned that perhaps the Freshman Dees would have to be postponed on account of wet grounds tmissing declamers, we meant consternation leaped up and ran its lingers thru the bushy hair of the faculty members who have bushy hair, and drummed a devil's tatoo on the bald pates of those who haven 't. Slowly the hands of the clock crept round the dial, and the hour for the exercises approached. Certain members of the Sophomore class. it is said. were called before the faculty and given stern notice to produce four fully clothed freshmen, but there was nothing doing. Every nook and corner of every build- ing on the campus was searched, Mount David was scoured, back yards of the neighborhood were investigated, Lewiston and Auburn were turned upside down. so to speak, but at two o'cloek the exercises were opened in Hathorn hall, and four out of the six young men scheduled to speak were among the missing. Then it was that a searching party made up of their own classmates, Sher- lock Ilolmesing around in the immediate vicinity of Lewiston, stumbled upon the four freshmen, deserted, alone , and tied in a freight car above the Fair Grounds. They were 1'eleased and esco1'ted to a trolley in which they rode as far as Mountain Avenue. And then they hustled across to Hathorn hall just in time to come to bat with some sizzling oratory that showed the effects of at night outf, What we have quoted above sums up, in general, the popular conception of the events surrounding the much mooted abduction of 1917 's four orators on 1917 THE MIRROR 211 the eve of the Freshman l'rize Declamations. Many versions of what really did take place on that memorable occasion have been forth coming from time to time from various sources: each has professed to be the truth, yet eaeh has ditl'ered quite materially from what actually happened. The facts in the ease a re given here for the first time: Friday 11ight, March T, 11314, was cold and stormy. lietween ten and half past. fifty courageous sophomores, by trickery and force, gained possession of four of the six 1917 freshmen scheduled to speak at the annual l+'reshman Prize Deelamations on the following Saturday afternoon, and coralled them in Parker llall. About eleven-thirty, the sophs with their four captives ploughed their way thru the blowing and drifting snow down College, thru White, and up Main Street to the end of the car line. There the presence of one lone freshman waiting for the last car to take him home after a late call struck terror to the Sophs' hearts and nearly stampeded that courageous body. But valor prevailed and the gallant band. passing by on the other side. continued its line of march and in due time by a circuitous route arrived at the termination of its journey- a nice eold inhospitable horse stall situated in the very center of the Fair Grounds. There the thoroly soaked and chilled captives with their no less uncomfortable captors passed the night. About six o'cloek in the morning lunch was served+-cold, as belitted the surroundings. During the forenoon guards were changed often, messengers arrived and departed frequently, and a growing excitement seemed to pervade the atmosphere. About noon, in spite of the vigilance of the guards. two of the captive quartet slipped away, and tele- phoned their whereabouts to John Bertram Hall, returning at once to the scene of their confinement in order to avoid suspicion. lmmediately a 1917 war party was organized. llard on the heels of the messengers bearing to the Sophomore camp the news of this new development the party pressed: the sophs, after a hurried consultation, decided that discretion was the better part of valor and taking their four captives with them as far as the railroad abandoned them and escaped while the escaping was good. The four ifreshmen, under escort of their classmates, returned to the college, entered Hathorn Hall amid great and pro- longed applause, enjoyed the remainder of the exercises which the sophs had failed to break up, and the following week engaged in a little oratorical contest all by their lonesome. The bell rings for 7.45- All the students take their books and Hee, Five minutes more, and again tolls the bell,- One student left in sight,-and that is me! C. F. S. on 'tl'lducation 212 THE MIRROR 1917 THE EYES 0E THE WORlll 0R SEEING 0URSElVES AS 0THERS SEE US '20 wad some power the giftie gie us To see ourselves as others see us. Four years of companionship together have given us certain impressions. These impressions it has seemed fitting to record in the yearbook of the class. To secure results of this personal observation, the members of the class were asked to answer a list of questions, it being hoped that each individual would vote according to his or her personal knowledge, and not prejudiced by likes or dislikes. On the whole. the results have been satisfactory and we can now see ourselves as others see us. Politically. the class is strongly Republican. forty-one members expressing a preference for this party. Eleven proved to be Democrats. We trust that this demarcation does not mean that these people are standpatters , nor that they are thus politically inclined because of ancestry. But hold! donlt biologists claim that acquired characteristics cannot be inherited? Eleven members ex- pressed themselves as Independents, two as Socialists, and twelve gave no preference at all. SVe are not able to state whether the last named condition is the result of lack of interest in affairs of state or indicates a dislike for all party distinctions. 4 The religious tendency in our class is toward the Baptist church,-and this does not include the members of that new denomination formed among the students, known as the Home Baptists. This latter sect has drawn heavily from the ranks of the others and is said to constitute a real menace, especially since its shell is softer and consequently allows greater freedom to spread. The Con- gregationalists acquired second place: while the rest of the votes were scattered among Methodists, Episcopalians, Catholics, Unitarians, Christian Scientists. Presbyterians, Friends, Communitarians. and no preference . Thus it can be seen that our class only lacks some five thousand of including all the religious sects in existence. The intentions of our members for the future are yaried. altho history repeated itself in that the majority plan to teach. Forty-eight expressed the intention of cultivating the minds of the younger generation,-we believe a number of these intend to continue instruction which they have been giving at college. The direct intentions of some were so evident that we had not the 116l'Ve to ask them,-for how would they regard our proposal? Eight plan to enter business, five plan to preach. two are to become doctors, two are interested in 1917 THE MIRROR 213 sanitation, two in law, two in t'hristian Association work, two in chemistry, and one each in library work and engineering. The results of thc voting'more closely touching the individual are as follows: Best Lookioig .limi and ll'mnafn- Beauty is its own excuse for being , but we know from personal observation that thc author of this remark was the victim of a hasty generalization. Our beauties have other excuses for living. The vote on the best looking man failed of a decision, Vonnors and Stone receiv- ing a like number. Among the women. Billy Dunlap received a large majority. Others prominent in the balloting were Murray and Fiske among the men, and Manchester and Ackley among the girls. .llost Talented .Van :md llv07llII'l1'-II9l'6 again there was a tie vote among the men candidates: Lane and Bacon stood out far ahead of any of the others. To Miss Lougee went the honor on the female side by a one vote margin over Baby Helen Berry. Miss Lawry, also, received strong support. Turner, A. L. Purintou. and Newman were others receiving more than one vote. Best Business .llfm and Womafn--This honor went to our Editor, Alton Bush, on account of his efficient manner in rushing along the difficult parts connected with the work tespecially in regard to class photographsld, and because of his untiring zeal in promoting the editing itself. Mr. Hatch, our business manager, was a close second. Industrious Elinor Newman was tl1e overwhelming choice among the girls. Others receiving quite a few votes were Fiske, Elwell and Stone. and Lewis, Cleaves, Campbell, and White. Fattest .Ilan and ll'oman-The corporosity in our class seems to have be- come quite highly centralized. In fact, the Beef Trust is now practically owned and controlled by Berry, Crooker, Grover and Co.-with very little emphasis on the other members of the company. Crookcr seems to own about one percent. more than Grover: while Baby Helen is the majority holder. The heirs of Slade, Hopkins and DeWever will receive small shares. Thimiest .Uma and Woman-The tissue paper editions of our class are bound with Fales and Skinner bindings. lVrapping paper editions are bound in Hatch and Thompson. Biggest Crabs-Crustaceans of the crab species have reached their highest evolutionary development in the persons of MacDonald and Dresser. Other species fairly well developed beyond the single-cell stage are the Lrstcrzas Shermanus, li'andolphos Hatclu't'z't and the Alma ll'lu't1'na. Greatest Grincls-The Hopkins-make grindstone has clearly demonstrated to all competitors that it secures the finest edge. The women seem to think that 214 T H E MI R R O R 1917 the MacDonald-make secures an elegant finish. Skinner, lqawry and Bacon have applied for patents. Iliygrsl Iflufls-'l'lie f'ommittec of the Whole has decided that the Dr. Cooks ot' the class are Pop Elmer Ilaskell Mills and Ruth Capen. The strongest suspicions are entertained in the cases of Speed Turner, Brit f'oady and Sturgie . There may be an appeal to higher authority in some cases, but thus the committee has ordained. Other names are under consideration, but sufficient proof was not forthcoming to warrant action.. Hts! lI1'r.vsr1l ,Ilan mul li'rmmn-Bean Brummel and lchabod Crane tat his besti had nothing on some of the members of our class when it is a question of glad rags . t'arl Stone, thoroly filtered and subjected to fractional distilla- tion, is the pride of Lisbon Falls and Bates. On the other hand. the Paris style makers have never tired of attending the Perils of Pauline to see our Polly display the latest in the fashion world. Rollins and Sturgis, and Pendelow and Bush, in the opinion of the class, are other pacemakers. The Long and Slzorl of ilu- I'I11.v.w4Everyone has read of the giants and the pigmies. ln Mr. llatch we have not exactly a giant. but a rather altitudinous example of the specie lzumnnus, so thin as to ofter little resistance to the atmosphere and compelled to stand twice in the same place to cast a shadow. Miss XVhitc is a worthy mate, towering high above the VVoolworth Building in the estimation of her classmates. Miss Uapen, VVebb, Thompson, Stone and Turner represent the Flatiron Building and various other poly-story structures. To the class, evidently, Dyer and Oakman are pigmies tin heighti of exactly like proportions. At least, it was a no-decision affair. As for the women, it seems that Miss Moody is so short that frosts strike two weeks earlier in her atmosphere than at higher levels. Irene Mac and Millie', are only slightly more elevated. Who is Jlosi' Popular-As far as popularity goes, Art Purinton and Billy Dunlap could have half the world for the asking. Whitie and Summie would acquire a large percentage of the remainder: with Lougee, LA Berry, Stone, Bacon, Mills and Webb squatting on the more desert portions. Who has limi lIi.vpn.wilioi1-I'nrutfied, like the surface of a placid lake, are the dispositions of Summic , the pride of the village 'tSouth Parisi. and Miss Lewis, our will-o-the-wisp. Their lives glide on like that most placid of streams,-the river Lethe. A little less placid, but caught in the doldrums nevertheless. are the dispositions of Art l'urinton, Miss Berry, Rol and Miss Gregg. .Yirrsl SHITIP'-hsllliltf and the world smiles with you, bawl and you bawl alone. The sweetest smiles in our class are to be found on the faces of Herb Hinton, Art Dyer, and Billy Dunlap. As to the respective merits of the 1917 THE MIRROR 215 first two, we must refer you to a higher authority than our class. Others whose smiles radiate sunshine of a special quality are, Misses Sceles and Moody. and Speed Who Sleeps .llost- Sl1e sleeps, she sleeps, my lady sleeps. This of course refers to Miss Campbell, for she is the sleeping beauty of 1917. Many a time has she fallen asleep on Monday noon and awakened just in time to reach the English class for the assignment on the following day. She has almost no competition on the part of the women. l To sleep, or not to sleepg that is the question! Whether 'tis nobler to cut classes or to snooze indefinitely makes no difference to Pat : and by a Pat we mean a Laneg and by a Lane we mean a H Pat Laneg and by a Pat Lane we mean the biggest male sleeper among the male sleepers of our class. But in almost the same breath we must mention Pat Slade and Merle Grover, dream- ers e.rtra0rdi7ntitre. The Greatest Flirts-XVho would have thot it T? But Boggie!' Murray and Celerity'l Turner are the biggest masculine tlirts in our class. NVhat an irresistible team- C'elerity with his dancing grace, and Boggie with his winsome face! And then to add 'tSturgie , reinforced by XVhitie'l, 'tEmily and Miss Rollins! Why, this team could win the iVorld's Series in a walk! Laziest .Ulm and Womfm-To Roger Fiske and Miss Capen goes the honor, or dishonor, of being the laziest persons in our class. lt is a terrible accusation to make, but the decision is final and overwhelmingly unanimous. Grover, Slade, and Sherman and Miss Mitchell were awarded red ribbons. Greatest JI 1cs1'ci'mi-VVe have many very promising young musical geniuses in our class, according to the critical judgment of its members. Most prominent among these are Monsieur le Upham and Senorita Baby Helen Berry. Several seasons of unparalleled success have made their positions secure. Other stars of the first magnitude are Doe Pendelow, R-ill' Wiggin, Pat Lane, and Miss Lougee. Best English Student-How t'Moniels'l heart must swell with pride when he surveys his English class and shades his eyes to protect them from those piercing gleams of intelligence! Think of his sense of security as he inspects his first line of defense.-Aileen Lougee and 'Ted Bacon! Then watch him as he rubs his hands together and nods approval at generals Peables, Bush, Newman, Cleaves and Lawry. Ah! 'tis a result greatly to be desired. The Best Athlete-Sad indeed is the story of our class when we consider the athletes that we have lost. But in spite of these losses, we still have some sterling performers. Summie Davis was picked hy the class as our best het. He has starred in almost every department of college athletics. Buck De- Wever stood second, and MacDonald third. The first two men have secured 216 THE MIRROR 1917 letters in two departments. Miss Lougee was the almost unanimous choice of the girls. Skinner, Burnett, Moody and Berry were others who received more than one vote. Greatest l'lu'I11nfhropfist-No single individual stood very conspicuously above the others as a great philanthropist. It appears. however, among the men, that Speed Turner and Frank MacDonald are most eagerly sought by college presidents and other charitable individuals for aiding a good cause. Miss Cleaves enjoys a like prominence among the women. Those expected to donate smaller sums are, Lane, Pep , Bacon and Mills, and Whitie , Lewis, Aikens and Irene MacDonald. Biggest Enter-Here is another department in which many individuals have done UA work. First of all is Bill Wiggin who has swallowed several soup bowls in his haste to gain an extra lap on the fastest of our eaters. The gentler sex has presented Miss Sawyer, closely followed by Miss Skinner, as the most efficient machine for the consumption of food. Others who, we predict, will be visited by indigestion are, Grover, Connors, House, Oakman and Slade, and Bennett, Lewis and Dunlap. Greatest Philosopher-The literary capabilities of our class may be explained by the philosophic turn of mind of many of its members. Coady, Miss Capen and Miss Lawry are adjudged our foremost representatives. Quite heavily, also, has the clammy hand of philosophy fallen on Hatch, our foremost writer on Our Co-eds , on Peables, whose tongue has become a college tradition, on Sherman. nicknamed The Shy g on Chayer, our preacher of the good WO1'dQ 011 Caverly, the Neolithic mang and on Dyer, the Senator from Washington. Rest ye in peace ! Best H ouselfeeper-It seems difficult to reconcile philosophy to housekeeping, yet Coady has found time to keep his house in ship-shape order, philosophically speaking. Paralleling Brit , we find Carl Stone who dusts the carpet three times a day and handles the furniture with gloves. More fortunate the men who have already engaged housekeepers. Most fortunate is Art Purinton. Next in order is Julia McCann, who has kept House for four yea1's and there- fore is quite experienced. Peradventure, we find the Misses Farnsworth and Mac-Donald, lovers of domestic science and household economy. Who Has Most Time-Time was no object to Merle before he left college, so he threw a lot of it away. Now he is teaching school in the hope of utilizing a few of those spare hours. Miss Farnsworth lays claim to the honor among the women, and is ably seconded by Dick . Then come George and Julia, followed by Bob Greene and Doc Pendelow. Miss Manchester received honorable mention. ' 1917 THE MIRROR 217 ,llost lizcluslrious-The two most industrious persons in our class are tlay and Miss Lewis. We must liken them to a piece of Sodium on water,-we-not only are they active. but the action is very rapid. Bacon, Bush, Pep',, and Miss Mac- Donald and Miss Newman are other very zealous people. Who Attends Vlmpcl Least-Nearly unanimous was the vote of the class on the choices of Bernard Peables and Hazel Seavey as the most delinquent chapel attenders. In fact, if we remember rightly, the flag was displayed one day when Seavey and Sceles appeared at chapel together. Therefore, Miss Sceles is our second choice. Nor would it be right to omit the names of Coady, Hatch, Pende- low and MacDonald, who often find it inconvenient to be at prayers. The 1'7!l'U07 ilL6 Professor-For another year this honor goes to Dr. Tubbs, whose openmindedness Hlld perfect willingness to confer or advise have endeared him to the hearts of nearly all those students with whom he has come in contact. Nor should we fail to mention the name of Prof. Hartshorn in this connection, for he ran a close second in the voting. lt is difficult to discriminate between two such men. Professors Ramsdell, Gould and Jordan also had their following. The Easiest P1'0fe.s.s0r-lf voting is any criterion, Professor MacDonald is the easiest pedagogue on the campus. Pleasant indeed must be his courses and much sought for, like fine gold. Prof. Rob, Doc Britan and Willie White- horne are also very considerate of their students. The Snap Coiurse-True to weather predictions, here we have Education for the snap course. Some may doubt this, but we must be guided by public opinion. lf, however, a student looking for a soft job is not found in one of the Education classes, we should advise the seeker to visit Doc Britan's Psychology class or Prof. Rob's Oratory . The Ilurdest l'r0fessor-How many times have we not heard some student, in a semi-conscious condition, uttering some oath or seen him striking at an imaginary enemy! The very actions point to a delirious state of mind, caused by an attempt to read a history book thru in one night, and to memorize the Outlook. We advocate a pension for all those who survive, and a day set apart to visit the graves of our honored dead. A formal introduction is not necessary. for of course we are speaking of Railroads victims. But wouldn't you like to meet our friend Pomeroy, who is nearly as bad? If you doubt it, call down to see some of the boys at twelve o'clock some night, just as they are finishing their day 's work! What Member of Faculty Attends Fhapel Least-This distinction went to Coach Purry . One person was so unkind as to vote for Proxy , and strictly speaking he was right. 1218 THE MIRROR 1917 Who ,vlllrizrls Gym .lloxl-Instructor Stetthacher and Miss Lougee seem to have impressed the gymnasts' very favorably hy their constant gtfpmlgmpe dm-ing gym periods. .h1lI302ll'2ll1l'OS also are that Coach Furry and Miss Bell show up occasionally. Wlml is Ifnlrs lliwflftxl .-l.vsef-lliversity reigns supreme here. However, a careful sitting' ot' the wealth of material has revealed the fact that Prexy is most necessary to the life of Hates. 'Co-eds and Student Democracy stand next in line. Then some students with a sense of humor took a chance at being discovered, and voted that the Dean and the Posture League were indispensable to the existence of the college. Another was especially thrilled by the uplifting' intiuence of compulsory church attendance. Speed Turner and Its Reputation were other ventures. What liars Balm .Ycml .llost-Bates evidently needs at gymnasium, if the opinion of the class counts for anything. She also needs a Hall for Dancing . a few more men, a College Mother , a Regular Course in Co-education , Potatoes . a Revolution , and various other things too numerous to mention. We do not vouchsafe, however, for the uregency of some of them. l lPII.tlGl'E: The oracle thru the vote of the class has spoken. Just as the oracles of old may have erred in many cases, just so the class of 1917 may have slipped in forming its impressions of its constituents. Nevertheless. we trust that there will be no petition for a recount, and that each one will accept graciously that which he or she has been so honored in receiving. Exit thru the skylight. 0 ONE OF THE COLLEGE TRADITIONS 1917 THE MIRROR 219 TYPICAL MEETING 0E THE BATES ROUND TABTE The following account of one of the many meetings of the liates Round Table was reveale.l to us by means of a dictagraplx placed under thc cradle in an adjoining room. Supposedly, it is typical of nieetings of this body. AVith- out more ado we present Prof. Pomeroy. the presiding otlicer. Pomeroy: Ladies and Gentlemen, owing to the unexpected absence of l'rof. Coleman, the appointed ,speaker of the evening, we are denied the privilege of listening to a scholarly and edifying discussion on 'lnfant l'sychology.' For this reason it has been necessary to vary our usual custom z and the program committee has decided upon a mutual consolation meeting. That is to say, each of us is requested to tell to the others the most embarrassing incident in his ezyzpeiience. Let us all respond promptly and seriously to this plan, feeling assured of an interested and sympathetic audience. and let us each do his part in making this a pleasant and profitable evening. l will ask 'Pa' Gould to begin. Pa Gould trubbing his hands togetherg smiles diabolieally, and launches into his recital in a businesslike way.Q: Now let me see, as near as I can recall my nzost uncomfortable experience occurred soon after I came to Lewiston. One day I bought a dozen oranges at the fruit store where I am in the habit of trading, and boarded the Figure 8 with the bag under my arm. The car was crowded, and I took the only unoccupied seat near the door. The other occu- pants, by the way, were largely women-an embarrassing situation, as I think you will agree. Facility voices in unisonQ Yes, yes indeed! Pa Gould- In my nervousness it seems I squeezed the bag too tightly, and before I was aware of it the paper had burst and the oranges were dropping one by one to the floor and rolling the whole length of the car.', fgympathetic sighs and glances.J Paw Gould QWarming to his subjectl- Then to add to my confusion an extraordinarily stout lady entered and, as the car started with a lurch. lost her balance and sat squarely in my lap. Women's voices- Flxcrueiatingl Whatever did you do? Pau Gould tT5lushing, but inatter-of-factignT got off at the next stop. ClTe sits down, and Prof. Pomeroy nods to Dr. Tubbs.l Dr. Tubbs CAggressively7: You will pardon a personal reference. .Ks you all know it is not my custom to court approval or to choose sides in any argument with reference to general popular opinion. 2120 T II E lXI I R R O R 1917 General assent- Quite true, quite trueli' llr. 'l'nbhs continuingaahOnly once in my public life have I experienced the painful situation of being utterly unopposed. lt was at Mexico, Blaine, where I had previously given several lectures, that l found, on asking for a vote 011 the necessity of war, that every person in the audience agreed with my own statements on the subject. tFrowning darkly.l lt was the most uncomfortable experience of my life. Sighs and voices- lt must have been, I'm sure! How did you ever survive L' Dr. Tubbs tliitterlyi- I resolved never to go to Mexico again. tFaculty faces register relief.l Pomeroy tAfter a paused: Goosie, will you continue, pleaseli' Goosie: It may be that my memory fails me, but the most uncomfortable incident I can recall occurred only yesterday in my Junior Iliad elassf, tHe pauses at the painful recollection, while the women glance at each other and shudder apprehensively. l Goosie goes onA One of the young men had evidently made no preparation whatever and, when called upon, failed utterly. In fact, he covered the passage assigned without translating a single phrase correctly and without the remotest suggestion of the sense. It was a moment of extreme torture for me, you may be sure. Several voices- Yes, 0 yes! What did you do and what did you say. Goosie tdesperatelyl- I said 'Goodl Very good! Excellent !' and gave him Q77 a zero. tAfter a sympathetic pause Pomeroy turns to Frenchie. D Pomeroy- Frenchie, will you now give us your experience? Frenchie tllurriedlyl- I har-rdly know just what I should say, but I t'ink I netfer had a more uncumpfortubble feeling than the one I felt one day last yeah. One mor-rning my wife came r-rushing in with my' hat and gloves and told me to hurry or I would be late to class. I pickt up my book and started for the collich as fast as I could r-run. tllesturing energeticallyl. I got along all r-right until I came to the cor-rner-r of Fr-rye Strrreet, wher-re in my haste I r-ran into a telephone pole and knockt off my spec-ta-culls. Rut I r-reached my class-r-room at last, and what was my conster-rnation to find that I was ten minutts too ear-rly! Only imagine my feelinks! General chorus- Only imagine! What a pity! Dear, dear! tFrenchie, wild-eyed and trembling visibly, sinks into this ehairj. At a signal from Pom, Sammie rises. Sammie tGazing seriously at the ceilingj: You haf all prob'ly already heard stories about the nerfousness otf a young man on making a proposal of marriage, and you should know it must be doubly hard to one who has not a perfect conthrol off the language in the which he must speak that proposal. 1917 THE MIRROR 221 As some off you already know it iss hard for me to speak fery goot In-glish. and sometimes most off what eomes out off my mouth iss halb Vherman and halb In-glish. , General assent: VVe understand!

Yes indeed ! tAt at glanee from Pom, Monie sinks still deeper in his easy ehair, folds his hands eoinfortably over his stontaeh. and begins his eonfessionl Monie: It was a very warm day in late Spring. I was seated eomfortably in my ehair leisurely reading Browning to my Senior English elass. Half the elass was nodding eontentedly and l myself was beginning to feel an agreeable drowsiness, when suddenly there sounded a brisk rap at the elass-room door. For some reason this sound disturbed and ir1'itated me even more than the ordinary interruption, but I eoneealed my disgust and, easting a significant glanee at Mr. liaeon, eontinued reading in my customary monotone. Mr. Baeon stepped dutifully to the door and investigated the eause of the disturbanee. But is was an unlucky day for me, a11d my mental ealm was eompletely shattered when Mr. liaeon reported that the intruder desired nothing less than speech with me. tChorus of depreeatory exelamations.D Monie elears his throat and starts afresh- You ean readily understand that. try as l might. I eould not reeoneile myself to the neeessity of leaving my ehair Zllld walking to the door. So finally, after a moment of exquisite mental torture, I deeided to send Mr. lfaeon baek to ask for the message. Hut the ealler was obdurate and insisted that he must see me on a private matter of great importance. CA deep sigh and a meaningful pause.t My friends, ean yon eoneeive of my dreadful predieament! I have wondered sinee that I did not expire of apoplevy on the spot. liut time was passing, and I must deeide upon some eourse at ouee. Then in a sudden inspiration, the solution eame to me.

But slowly the harrowed feelings began to recover, and Prof. l'om's eyes swept over the melancholy ei1'ele in search of his next victim. But before he could eome to any decision. Prof. Baird, as though with a sense of impending danger, rose jerkily from his seat and broke in nervouslyb : l'rof.
