The need of a modern Technical School in such a city, where millmen and others could obtain a practical as well as a scientific education, has been very great. To ANDREW CARNEGIE the man whose keen foresight, wise arrangements and open purse have produced the Carnegie Technical Schools, this book is gratefully and lovingly inscribed. rouNOCft or tmc carncgic technical school 111- progress of the l'nited States during th last century has liecn marvehnis. So marked indeed that it has won the admiration and respect as well as the interest of all other nations. To what do we owe this remarkable development ? Partly to our unlimited resources and partly to the men who have had the fores ght to see the possibilities of these natural resources and the genius. j crscvcrancc and determination, by using these resources, to create new industries and revolutionize old ones. Our national growth has been very marked, but our progress along industrial and economic lines, especially in the last twenty-five or thirty years, has been even more so. The improvement in the manufacture of iron and steel has undoubtedly contributed more toward advancement in the manufacturing world than the improvement in any other industry. The steel industry, as we know it to-day. was first developed in ami around the city of Pittsburgh. Now its influence is felt throughout the entire, manufacturing world. It is not with the industry itself that we arc concerned at present, however, but with the man who has done more than any other to devclope, as a distinct industdy. the manufacture of steel in the l'nited States. It would Ik-ini|M ssihle to dissociate the name of ndrew Carnegie from the steel industry. in order to understand more clearly the secret of Mr. Carnegie's success, we must look briefly at his early life and surroundings. He was born in Dunfermline. Scotland, on November 25. 1835. Dunfermline, situated in the south central ] art of Scotland, has lnren the scene of many stirring events in Scottish history. But probably the most sacrctl memory Mr. Carnegie connects with it. is that it is the final resting place of Rol crt Bruce, chief among the heroes of his beloved Scotland. Owing to political conditions then existing in Scotland Mr. Carnegie early acquire I a dislike for the aristocracy and for all hereditary privileges. Fruits of these early impressions may be seen in his book. “Triumphant Democracy. published many years later. Mr. Carnegie himself attributes a large proportion of his success to the fact that he had a good mother. From her more than from any one else he received encouragement in his early life, and her influence was pre-cmi- 15 nent in the formation of his character. In return for this his principal ambition, while she lived, was to secure her happiness. Mr. Carnegie's father was a master weaver, and owned a factory, containing several hand looms, in Dunfermline. When Andrew was ten years of age the steam loom was introduced into England, thoroughly revolutionizing methods of weaving. As a result his father’s business was completely destroyed. Acting on the advice of friends in America. Mr. Carnegie moved, with his family, to Pittsburgh. Pennsylvania, where it was known letter opportunities existed for him to repair his broken fortune and for Andrew and his brother Thomas to obtain a start in life. The breaking up of their old home in Dunfermline must have lnren a trying ordeal for the whole family. Something of Andrew’s feeling toward his native home may be seen in his own words when shaking of it in later years: What Bemares is to the Hindoo. Mecca to the Mohammedan. Jerusalem to the Christian—all this and more Dunfermline is to me. Soon after his arrival in Pittsburgh Andrew Carnegie began his career as bobbin boy in a cotton factory at five shillings a week. At the age of thirteen he was employed to fire the boiler and run the steam engine which drove the machinery of the factory. The heavy work and long hours soon l egan to affect ins health and his future prospects looked rather gloomy. But here he showed that determination to conquer difficulties and that keen foresight which served him so well in later years. Moreover, lie was optimistic enough, and had sufficient confidence in himself, to believe that this state of affairs would not last long. With Xil desperandum for his motto, these difficulties served only as incentives to more determined effort. When fourteen years of age. through the influence of a friend. Mr. Carnegie received a position in a telegraph office. While engaged in this work he l erformed his duties with such punctuality and thoroughness, and showed such extraordinary ability for hard work, that lie attracted the notice of the superintendent of the Pittsburgh division of the Pennsylvania railroad, and was offered a jxisition in his office. This proved to be the turning jK int in his life. From this time on his career has been a series of successes. His advancement while in the service of the Pennsylvania railroad was very rapid. By the time he was twenty-five years of age lie had been made general superintendent of the Pittsburgh division. During this time he had made several lucrative investments, all of which were characterized by the same shrewd foresight as his more extensive ventures in later years. Not the least factor in Mr. Carnegie’s success has been his method of investing. The insight with which he determined the true worth of a pro]x sition and the 16 promptness with which he took advantage of it arc very marked even in his earliest investments. He never speculated. l ie never put his money into an enterprise with which he was not acquainted. Mr. Carnegie took some part in the early development of the oil industry. His attention, however, was soon attracted in another direction. About tliis time the railroads began experimenting with iron bridges. With his accustomed farsightedness Mr. Carnegie saw here an open field awaiting development, and consequently formed a syndicate and started the Keystone 1'.ridge Works. His next step, and the one which made him the undisputed head of the steel industry in America, was the manufacturing of steel rails to replace the iron ones which had been used up to this time. The plant known as the Kdgar Thompson Steel Works was erected for this purpose. Front these foundations Mr. Carnegie gradually built up what is now the leading industry in the manufacturing world. The company which lie organized for this purjH� se was destined to become the leading member in the largest industrial combination in the world. Throughout Mr. Carnegie's successful business career it was his wish and intention to retire from business Ik-fore he should Ik. comi e!!cd to do so on account of old age. He wished to spend the later years of his life superintending the distribution of the wealth he had l ccn accumulating. Evidences of the fulfilment of this desire may Ik seen everywhere. No man has ever used his wealth so exclusively and judiciously in the interest of his fellowmen as has Mr. Carnegie. In accordance with his desire to retire early from business, when the formation of the United States Steel Corporation afforded him an opportunity to dispose of his extensive interests, he gladly handed over to others the active management of his affairs, and was free from business cares for the first time in many years. lie was now at liberty to return to his native land. or. if he chose, to remain in his adopted home. Since both countries had some claim u|X n him and since he had lasting ties in cither place, his friends were interested to know where lie would make his future home. He hail formed many intimate and lasting friendships during his business career in America, while, on the other hand, many must have been the pleasant memories clustering around the scenes of his boyhood days in Scotland. Mr. Carnegie solved the problem by a compromise. He has a residence in Scotland, where he spends a jxirt of each year, but his home is in New York, on Fifth Avenue. Hy thus living among and keeping in touch with both nations he will hasten the fulfilment of his prophecy in regard to the political project that has always been very dear to him, the sentiment of which lie expressed in the 17 following words at the close of an address before an English audience.- Let men say what they will, therefore. I say that as surely as the sun in the heavens once shone upon Britain and America united, so surely is it one morning to rise, shine upon, and greet again, ‘The Re-United States.' ‘The British American Union.’ His home at Skilx Castle, in the northern part of Scotland, is beautifully situated on a large estate in a district teeming with legends and traditions of early Scottish history. Besides the finest golf links in the country and splendid opportunities for yachting. Mr. Carnegie has access to as good shooting and fishing as arc to l e found in Scotland. Is it at all surprising that he should prefer this to life in New York? Strenuous as has been Mr. Carnegie’s business life he found some time to devote to literature. Besides the work already mentioned he is author of Around the World,” An American Four-in-1 land in Britain. The (ios-j)cl of Wealth. and other Itooks. all of which have been read with interest. He is a forcible sjjeaker anil does considerable reading, his favorite authors being Shakesj care and Burns. An eminent English biographer, in summing up his life has said: “Without any previous training for the position. Mr. Carnegie may be said to have leaped almost at a single bound from obscurity to eminence— front poverty to fortune.” 18 20 Dear Mr. F.dilor: March 30. 1906. You ask Me to give the readers of The Thistle” some account of the inception oi and my reasons for deciding to give to Pittsburgh the Technical Schools. hirst, then, please note that Pittsburgh was the home of my boyhood, and it was there that Fortune showered its favors upon me in early manhood. One earnestly wishes to benefit his early home and its people if ever it be in his power. After I had decided that public libraries maintained by the people, a hall for music, a fine art gallery, and a museum would all tend to educate and elevate our citizens and bring into their lives new elements of happiness, and had established these, I found myself casting about to find the next want that Pittsburgh most needed. 1 was often brought into contact with men in llritaiu and at home earnestly devoted to benefiting their respective cities, and in New York I became a Trustee of Cooper Union and of the Mechanics’ and Tradesmen's Society. I very soon decided that there was nothing in the line of education which the youth of Pittsburgh so much needed as first-class Technical Schools. 1 offered to spend a million dollars on such school buildings and to give two million dollars endowment fund to furnish one hundred thousand dollars per year required to pay the cost of operating them, provided the city furnished a site, which it did. Since then half a million dollars additional has been given for necessary extension and addition. No scholars ever made a more promising start. None was ever besieged. I think. In so many more students than could be taken. Mr. Katncrschlag has proved the right man in the right place, and his earnest assistants no less so. As for the eight hundred students—their behavior, assiduity and anxiety to learn. I am informed, was never surpassed. We have made a great start! Where it is all to end, we cannot predict; but I for one believe that Pittsburgh is to rank in the world as one of the chief centers of technical education. The Founder is very proud of his latest gift to the city and the people to whom he still remains a grateful debtor. Andrew Carnegie. 21 Turning the First Sod 22 y-gyHKX the Central Hoard of Kducation. in nineteen Innulrcd, asked the city for an appropriation for a technical school, it was the signal for Andrew Carnegie to make an offer which he had long had in mind. I Ic had made a careful study of technical education and had decided that Pittsburgh ErfiSI should have such a school, although la- postponed further action until the Carnegie Institute’s new building was completed. The action of the Hoard, however, now moved him to make a definite offer. At a banquet given by V. X. Frew, at which were present the Hoard of Trustees of the Institute and the chief officials of the city. Mr. Carnegie offered to provide money for a technical school and to endow it. provided the city furnished the site. His aim in offering to establish the schools was to give the young men and women of this community an opportunity to obtain an education in technical arts, so that, by the possession of exjKTt skill and thorough knowledge, they could advance the general interests of the community and improve their own conditions in life. This. Xovcmber eleventh, nineteen hundred, was the first public announcement of his attention. It created considerable excitement in educational circles and was immediately recognized as a valuable addition to the advantages of Pittsburgh. The Hoard of Trustees of the Carnegie Institute, into whose hands the management had been placed, on December eighteenth, nineteen hundred, appointed a committee of five to study the subject of technical schools and to re| ort upon a plan of formation. This committee made a very slow and careful study of the subject, and did not report until February, nineteen three. Their report formed the basis u| on which the school was planned. The selection of a suitable site upon which to place the new school was a matter that took a great deal of time and was held back by many false starts. Each particular clique in Councils had a separate notion as to the best location. Several times, different plots seemed to be finally selected, but in each case some difficulty wotdd present itself and the matter would fall through. Such was the case with the Schcnlcy farm, back of Fifth and Bellcficld. The ncwspa| ers even published plans of the new buildings, with the definite announce tnent that all had been arranged. I lowevcr, there are at least a few i eoplc who now know that such news, though interesting, was not very accurate. Councils appointed a committee of seven of their number in September, nineteen two. In February, nineteen three, the present site was approved by Councils and by the Board of Trustees. A considerable amount of jxnv-wow was necessary, however, before the embryo “Tech was the proud jiosscssoi of thirty-two acres adjoining Schcnlcy Park. During the fall of nineteen three, the most im| ortant question taken up by the committee was the choosing of a director to head the schools. It was decided to choose the director before going ahead, in order that lie might Ik able to help plan the schools. William McConway was at this time chairman of the committee, composed of V. II. Stevenson. J. A. Brashear. W. L. Scaifc and J. J. Booth. They began their dclilx-rations on this subject on October second, nineteen three, and their report was not made until November ninth of the same year. They reported unanimously in favor of At tliur A. Hamerschlag, then at the New York Trade Schools. The Trustees then officially invited him to take command. The committee's re| rt had lx en carefully made and their choice has since been proven a wise one. (hi February twenty-third, nineteen four, the first actual work, the grading of the site, was begun. To the Gillespie Construction Company had been awarded the contract, and they finished this part of the work by June twenty-seventh. But up to this time no arrangement had lieen made for the design of the buildings. A competition was announced for the best designs and the preliminaries closed on July twelfth, nineteen four, with sixty-nine contestants. The result was made known September tenth, when it was announced that Palmer and Hornbostcl. of New York, were the winners. They drew up the final plans and specifications from which the bids were made. March twenty-first, nineteen five, sixteen bids had been received, and on March twenty-eighth Wells Brothers were awarded the contract, for alx ut five hundred thousand dollars. This bid only included what are now buildings A. B and C. with teni|x rary power house. The first shovelful of earth was raised by Mrs. Hamerschlag. on April third, nineteen five, and the work was pushed rapidly from then on. 24 Tlu first actual instruction given by the Carnegie Technical Schools was in the form of a preliminary course of public lectures, given at the various Carnegie Libraries around the city. The first lecture was given in April, nineteen four, and the series was kept up for some time. These were of the jxipular scientific class and served to interest the people in scientific matters. They attracted great crowds and were a marked success. An interesting and highly amusing feature of the school’s early history was the attitude of the newspapers towards it. They regarded the school, first and foremost, as a good producer of local color, a subject that was always of interest to the general public. So. it there was no news, they made some. The results were fearful and wonderful, but not very accurate. Every detail was seized and enlarged upon, such as the going and coming of our Director, or the inauguration to bis duties of a new office boy. Such interesting matter was copied by pa|X-rs in many cities, so that Carnegie Tech lias at least l ccn thoroughly advertised. In Octol er. nineteen five, the school was ready for opening. It had been besieged by one thousand seven hundred and twenty-three applicants, of whom six hundred and four were examined. Examinations began October ninth and on the Monday following the Day School of Applied Science was opened, six months and thirteen days after the actual building had been begun. Such remarkable speed in building is symliolic of the speed with which we took our place in the world of colleges. Carnegie Tech is a recognized factor in the college life of Western Pennsylvania, and with its present leader, its brilliant future is assured. F. L. K., 'oS. 25 J. A. BRASHEAR J. 0.

IIAMERSCHLAG 27 29 30 )} OUR DIRECTOR Arthur Al ton Hamcrschlag was horn in Nebraska in 1867 Partially educated in Omaha lie finished his school career in New York City. His studies equipped him for an educator and an engineer and lie applied himself to both until November, 1903, when lie became the head of the Carnegie Technical Schools. His engineering practice as a mechanical and an electrical engineer engaged him in various parts of the United States, in Cuba, and in Mexico. As an educator he has had much to do with trade schools. Tor twelve years he was superintendent of St. Ucorgc's Evening Trade School. New York. He acted as consulting engineer for the New York Trade School, the Hethany Mission School, the Phillips Memorial School and the Hoys' Preparatory Trade School, all of New York City: and the Highland. N. Y.. Trade School. He has written scientific articles and text books Among tlie organizations which claim him as a member are the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, the New York Association for Organized Work Among Hoys, the Pittsburg Hoard of Trade, the l)u(|uesnc Club, the Crucible Club, the Pittsburg Press Club and the Junta Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education. Director liaincrschlag entered into iiis present position early in the development of the plans for the schools. It was considered advisable to install the head of the schools before they were built that the buildings might be constructed to conform with his ideas. The schools were to leave the beaten track of educational systems in various ways and their construction and equipment were to aid in every possible way the carrying out of the newer principles. The director was chosen as one who was not only in accord with the new methods but as one who'had studied and practiced them. With his work connected with the arrangement of the buildings and their division into departments was that of laying out the school curriculum, iiis characteristic energy evinced itself in the great progress which attended his efforts. The buildings were completed with remarkable rapidity and school began while workmen were still in the buildings. With us. the students. Director liaincrschlag is in close touch. We feel his presence in all we do, whether it be work or play, for there is manifest his cncouragment. sympathy and advice. lie extended the hand of good fellowship when, in receiving us into the schools, lie said, “Let us be boys together. 31 FROM THE DIRECTOR To TIIB STUlWNTS OF TUB Carnkoik Tixiinicai. Schooi.s: It makes a man feel almost as bashful as a child to have the students of a school ask him to write a line or two as a message to them, when he feels that he is so intimately one of them himself. This hesitation is born of a deeply embedded conviction that everyone who has been engaged in the development of these Schools is an integral part of them. I feel toward the students and the members of the faculty as though they were my brothers and sisters. When I look back over the short school year which is now nearing an end. it is hard to believe that but a dozen months ago we were nearly all strangers, it is equally difficult to express the deep sense of personal friendship which it has been possible to establish between us all in so short a period. If there is one message which I should like to transmit, in this first publication, to the students of the School, it is my appreciation of the sentiment of brotherhood, which has grown so rapidly and is so deeply rooted that it has become the distinguishing trait and the prevailing spirit of this educational movement. It is needless to dwell upon the fine property which the Carnegie Technical Schools put within the reach of the young men and women of the rising generations. It is needless to dilate upon the great good fortune which all of us enjoy in having had an opportunity to share in and profit by Mr. Carnegie's philanthropy. But it never seems out of peace to emphasize the real sense of gratitude and appreciation with which the beginnings of his educational institution have been welcomed by the citizens of our broad land. There is not much for me to write, nor is there much to be said concerning my personal contact with the individual members of the classes. Suffice it for me to declare that every moment thus spent has been precious to me: and to convey in these few lines my interest in and my affection for the men and women who are being moulded in this institution, and my high hope tor the development of their productive power and for their future success.

FOSTER Treasurer ROBERT PARSONS m President FRED E. FOSTER Vice President ALBERT HENDERSON Secretary FRED L. HUNT Treasurer JOHN B. COURSIN CLASS HISTORY that will always be held sacred in the hearts of the citizens of our country, ourth of July, the Twenty-second of February, the Thirtieth of May. and the :r. accustomed to celebrating the first three of these since early childhood, but lie of great importance within the last few years. Upon the Sixteenth of October. Nineteen Hundred ani Five, was founded the Charter Class of the Carnegie Technical Schools, the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Eight. Upon this memorable date there gathered together, for the first time, the men who were to become famous as members of the Charter Class. It was the first time in history that so much talent had been brought together. As soon as the school was fairly started it was decided to form a class organization. It was then that the afterwards famous constitution was framed. The clause that was the origin of all this fame stated that no student shall lie obliged to pay any tax except as a voluntary contribution. The students concerned pronounced it the best constitution on record. Class officers were immediately elected to take up and execute the important business of the class. Mr. Hunt was the first mail to receive the honor of being president. Mr. Parsons was elected treasurer and Mr. foster was elected secretary. Owing to the above mentioned clause in the constitution. Mr. Parsons had little trouble handling the Class books. Alxnit this time an orchestra apjieared upon the scene. Several rehearsals were held, and the orchestra played once for Professor Trinks. who had offered to help them out. He gave the leadership over and did not venture to offer his assistance again. Mr. Gaston Borch. of the Pittsburgh Orchestra, kindly consented to help by leading and giving the members private instruction. He attended one rehearsal. He has not vet fully recovered from his attack of illness. The orchestra played once in public. They have not played since. During this same time the glee club was organized and work began under Mr. Dorrington. He has a much more rugged constitution than that of Mr. Borcli. He still survives. Kable. after strenuous labor, succeeded in starting a quartet. Concerts by this quartet were held in the halls between periods. When the girls' school opened, all the singing by this quartet was done in that end of the building. A vote of thanks is due the Director for opening the girls' school at such an early date. The hockey team, which was captained by Mr. Overend. was ably supported by enthusiastic rooters. Mr. Foster, as cheer leader, was second only to Creatorc. 50 HERE arc several dates I Among these arc the F Sixteenth ok Octobk We have all been SUSKLS the last has onlv beco It was thought necessary, by the faculty, that the members of the class should see some of the practical applications of the great theories being taught every day. It was because of this momentous decision that the trips to the great manufacturing establishments located in and around Pittsburgh were made. It would take too much time and space to describe these trips in detail, only those events of great importance will be mentioned. At the Isabella furnaces, the red ore dust and the little particles of iron left a great impression uj on the minds of most of the students. It took about half an hour to wash this impression off. Who of the students that made the visit to the Paint Works will ever forget that trip? What member of the class will forget that memorable afternoon? All the chords of the better natures of boys were touched when it was found that the Paint Company was to supply a lunch. The name of the W. W. Lawrence Paint Company should go down in the annals of history as a benefactor to mankind. It was not until the eatables had disappeared that the gathering dispersed. It was then, that with a feeling of reluctance, the boys went home and parted com-pany with such a good friend. The trip to the United States Class Works was profitable to many. Glassware is valuable but hard to carry. One driver was heard to remark to another as some of the class men came out of the building. We'll get a reduction in wages sure, now.’’ As a class we have had little real fault found with us. Once during the year we journeyed in a body to a place of meeting and the utmost good fellowship prevailed. We are mindful of victories and defeats, but through them all runs that line of smoothness which characterizes the path of one. who. upon a higher plane, looks back U|X)ii the road recently broken by ups and downs and fails to note the difference. The ship is well on her voyage: a long way kick it seems to the harbor where first we hove up our anchor, where our sails first filled.__________________________________________________________________A.

FREHSEE W. J. HAMILTON 84 J thietics 'During the ZPcist 2 ear Considering the many disadvantages that are so prominent in a school that is for the first time trying to make a name for itself in the athlct'c world, the past year along athletic lines has really been to the credit of our schools. To some. | erhaps. we have not made the showing that was contemplated during our initial year, yet we have done our l cst under the existing circumstances, and in that alone there lies a glory. Chief among the disadvantages we had to contend with during the past year was the lack of a suitable athletic field and the absence of a gymnasium, so very important in all branches of athletics. Lacking these two important factors, which go so far toward the success of athletics in school, there remains little cause to wonder why C. T. S. did not break any records in the athletic world during the first year. When the schools convened for the first time in ()ctober one of the first things thought of was the organization of a football team. Being so late in the season it was thought inadvisable to have a representation in football the first year. Notwithstanding a call was issued for candidates and a team organized. The management had a very hard time in getting games, as most of the colleges and schools in the vicinity had complete schedules made out. I lowever. several contests were arranged, but for various reasons they never took place and the team went through the season without having played a game. We must, therefore, wait till the coming of another season to measure our strength with other institutions on the football field. The hockey team had the call during the winter season and proved to l c the crowning feature of the year in athletics. Basket hall also received some attention, but on account of the absence of a gymnasium it proved to Ik- about as successful as the attempt in football. One of the sections, however, organized a team and played quite a numlicr of interesting games, including I-last Liberty Academy and the All Scholastics. With the proposed gymnasium completed by the first of next year a successful basket ball team is assured, as there is plenty of good material in both day and night classes from which to pick a winning team. The baseball team at this writing is an unknown factor, having played as yet but one game, but Coach Prof. Reed assures us. however, that he has a fast team to represent Tech on the diamond the first year, (mod games have Ik-cii secured by the management, including Pittsburgh College. Allegheny College, (irovc City College and California State Normal, ami everything bids fair for a successful season. Plans have already been devised for the erection of an athletic field in the ravine in the rear of the schools, and when it is completed it will give Tech one of the best natural stadiums in the country. Our first year in athletics has l een worthy of mention, but our second year, with an athletic field and gymnasium. will Ik- worthy of place. 85 Class in Physics, School cf Applied Science 86 87 HOCKEY TEAM Captain.............CLARENCE OVEREND Manager................CHARLES REISFAR GW..................................T.

MILLER THOS. DuSHANE J. EARLE 88 !•' AW one team that represented Carnegie Tech in athletics during the past year is deserving of more credit than another for bringing our schools into prominence along athletic lines, it is most assuredly due the hockey team. To be sure we were ably represented by the other teams as well, considering the absence of a gymnasium and an athletic field, and a great deal of credit is due the managers and captains of the various teams for their work against such adverse circumstances. The hockey team, however, had no such disadvantages and was therefore able to make a better showing than the other teams. The team played three games during the season, the first one being with Vale during Christmas Week, the second one with Toronto University and the third one against the All-Collegians. As many more games would have been played had the management secured eligible teams. Of the three games played the one with Vale attracted more interest and brought out more of the student hotly and faculty than either of the others. It also proved to be the best played game of the season, and though the final score was 5 to o against Tech, to be defeated by a strong seven like Vale was no disgrace, and to hold them to a 110-score in the first half as we did was a feat of which we were proud. The second half, however, proved the undoing of Captain Overend's seven and the lack of practice was soon made manifest in the loose playing of the Tech Imys. Karly in this half one of Yale's forward line shot the puck into the cage from a scrimmage and this seemed to take the life out of Tech's puck chasers, and from that point to the end Yale blue was much more in evidence. When the smoke had cleared away at the close of the half Yale had scored five while Tech could not count one. Considering, however, that the teamhad practiced together hut twice before the game, and that they were playing for the first time as a team it was really a good argument they gave the Blue. The game with Toronto Cnivcrsity would have been a victory but for a fluke that liapjxrned during the second half. The score at the opening of the half was 1 to o in Tech's favor. Charles having shot goal in the first half, hut it was not destined to remain that way very long. During a scrimmage about Tech's goal in the second half the puck was struck in such a way as to strike the skate of one of ( apt. Ovcreiid’s men and bound into the net. This gave them a goal that they did not deserve and made the score a tie at one-all. An extra | criod was necessary to play off the tie and during the playing of this extra ten minutes the team went to pieces as it did in the Yale game, and five goals were shot liefore the call of time. It was a hard game to lose, as Tech certainly deserved a victory. The All-Collegian game resulted in a Tech victory. The All-Collegian team was coni|x scd of college men who were anxious to take our scalp in a game of hockey, hut this was denied them by the score of 1 to o. A few shifts were made in Tech's line-up for this game and it proved to Ik- a good move, for Capt. Ovcrend. who was playing right wing instead of I laimner. shot the only goal of the game. Of the team itself we can sav as we said in the beginning: It made a name for itself and for the schools in Athletics and if we are represented in hockey in the years to come we hope the teams will he as good as the first one. 89 Hockey Scores....

Those who were not intimidated by the inclemency of the weather and were brave enough to wander from their comfortable firesides through rain, snow and slush to Carnegie Music Hall on that evening were fully repaid bv the entertainment furnished by the two clubs. The program rendered was a most enjoyable one and was highly appreciated by the audience, as was evidenced by the fact that the encores outnumbered the regular selections. One very marked success of the evening was Naples. Dear Naples. by Mr. Reineckc and the (dee Club. Another, though of a different character, was the Tragedy of Willie and the Auto. The selections rendered by the Mandolin Club were very entertaining. The regular program was as (follows: I'ART ONE 1 Amici Glee Club Our strong band can ne'er lxr broken. Formed in C. T. S..

At the .conclusion of the program the audience stood while the Alma Mater was being sung. All joined in singing the closing verse and chorus. Taking everything into consideration the whole atYair was a decided success. As the modern High School girl might say. Everything went lovely. The proceeds were for the benefit of the Athletic Association. Roth clubs deserve much credit, not only for the pleasing manner in which they rendered the program of the evening, but for the fact that they have succeeded in organizing and in doing the necessary training in so short a time. •Mr. Dorrington is certainly to be commended for bis ability as a leader and instructor and for the interest he has shown in the organization and training of the Glee Club. Although the clubs are not as completely organized as they will be later, they are the foundation of what we expect, in the near future, to Ik the best clubs in the city. 97 •ALMA MATER” I Let all our voices now l e raised In song to fill the air: And all our hearts with music praise Our Alma Mater fair.

April 2 . iyo6. and was a howling success. The time set was seven-thirty, but for sonic reason, probably to raise better ap|ictites. actual operations were not begun until eight o’clock. If a natural affinity for eatables is a sign of good health, then seventy-odd of our class must have been exceedingly healthy on that night. They began, as the farmer says, “up thar. which was blue points on the half-shell, and ate clear down to thar. which was to coffee and a Missouri Meerschaum. Lively conversation up and down the table liclpcd matters along, and many a good story was told before the regular speeches began. Professor Follows was toastmaster of the evening, and he carried off the honors for bright and witty stories. He began the good work, made the last speech, and told a story between each speech of the others. Dr. Brashear and the members of the faculty and student body called on. were not far behind. President Foster was called upon for the first speech, in behalf of the Class. He recalled to us the motlicr-IkxxI of the school, the fatherhood of the faculty, and the brotherhood of the students. His ap| eal for more class spirit is timely and should l c considered by every member of the Class. Mr. James McCrea then gave a talk on “The Value of Observation. based on his many years of oxperi cnce with railroad men. He first wished it understood that it was not an old man. hut a young feeling man. who had the tloor. Although old in experience. Mr. McCrea is still young at heart, lie told of the college men yearly taken into the service of the Pennsylvania lines and of what was necessary to Ix-come one of the successful five out of every hundred who start thus. The keynote of his speech was: Cultivate the jxmers of observation and develop the ability to analyze. He also advised that every young man learn the principles of accounting and book-keeping, no matter what his position in life. To the lack of this training he attributes many business failures. I)r. John A. Brashear was the next speaker. He came in late, having left the Americus Club banquet before it was over in order that lie might Ik- with us. He spoke of the aid scientific knowledge is to one's enjoyment of life. It adds to the beauties of the rose to know its structure and nothing is roblicd from music if one knows the principles of sound : to know and understand only makes the enjoyment greater. Dr. Brashear then S|X kc of his interest in the schools, which interest we have often been assured of in every manner. 110 Doctor Ilokansoii was next called upon for a short S| ceeh. 11 is talk was intended to Ik more entertain-ins' than serious and it certainly tilled all requirements in that line. It made quite a hit—in tact the fellows were so interested in his speech that they forgot how to pronounce his name pro| erly. When he was cheered at the end. it really sounded like Rah. Rah. Rah. Cosine. I tut all hands enjoyed this lapse of memory. Mr. Reed gave us a talk on athletics, very neatly hashed in with the proper number of stories, lie seemed impressed by the importance of the occasion, but soon settled down and gave a very good talk. It is noticeable that he did not say Cut it out. fellows. It's your last chance. George Fleishman next hail the lloor. and his sj ccch was very spectacular, though rather short. In accordance with the program of a banquet the ,.ame night at which a presidential boom was started, it was George's duty to boom someone for United States president. Hut for some reason he preferred not to mention such i trivial thing and only said. Fellows, it gives me great pleasure, etc. But I think this is a put-up-job.” lie there-upon sat down, amid deafening applause. Considering brevity as the soul of wit. his sj ecch was supremely funny. After this, various members of the Class were called upon. They all made brave attempts at telling some sort of a funny story, and nearly all were very successful. Provost, however, robbed George Fleishman of all his honors by making even a shorter sjK-ech. This model of brevity was delivered from the outer hall. The evening, as a whole, passed very pleasantly atid was a source of general good feeling. This occasion is to lx- remembered because it was the first social gathering of our class, bent on a good time. Such events do a great deal to promote good fellowship and class-spirit: and for this reason, above all others, they should lie continued. Let us hope that we may have many more such. I ’. L. K..

In what to us is absolutely empty space, it is conceded that there must be something to transmit light and heat vibrations. Scientists have named this someting KTIIER.” This is the kernel of what our professor was trying to make us think al out one summer morning, wax back in that first year at college. Through the open windows came all the noises of a summer morning. soft and pleasant, but productive of drowsiness that was supreme. This was not the time for theories of intermoleeular matter. The class was at peace with the world, and willed not to be disturbed by idle thinking. Rather would they think of past and coming pleasures: and of nothing! Herr Professor was lecturing to an audience of blank faces, to ears that heard not. Vet in all the class there was one who was most intensely alert. Franck Rampolli was evident!} very much interested and was taking notes like a demon. Such an unusual event made an impression on my mind and years afterwards. I remembered it with startling force. Rampolli left college a short time later for some unknown reason and passed out of our lives, forgotten for a time. Hut from time to time we heard that he had fitted out a lab. of his own and was conducting secret experiments of a strange nature. After awhile even these reports ceased to come and after I left college there seemed little chance of ever meeting him again. Seven years later, however, I was forced to remain for a time in a small town in Iowa. And there, oil tiic street. I met Rampolli. with a peculiar light in his eyes and evidently struggling to suppress his excitement. When he saw me he gave a little whoop of joy. abruptly ordered me to follow him. and started off at a good pace. I followed, a little dazed but glad that the monotony was being relieved. As we hurried along. I asked what was up. He merely said. Wait till I show it to you. 129 We finally arrived in an old barn near the outskirts of the city. Here lie showed me what looked like a small moving van. 1 looked at it a while but seeing nothing to enthuse over. I said. Well, what is it?” My machine pumps ether just like water. he said. “I mean, of course, the scientific ether. Then I realized at one bound what was possible ii this was true. Light could not penetrate air from which the ether had been removed. And of the powers of this pump I was soon convinced. He easily made opaque spots anywhere lie chose. His material was in a jelly-like state and remained wherever it was put. Objects robbed of their ether became invisible and a light surrounded by a film of etherless space seemed to go out. Sit down and listen to my plan. said Franck, who had now become quite cool. You can imagine 1 am not in this for the fame of it. 1 am of the sordid class that wants the almighty dollar. This machine mounted as it is. will bring it. My scheme is nothing more or less than to charge rental for the use of ether to conduct light, li people won’t pay, 1 will take away the ether. Simple, isn't it? I will begin on the street lights and put them out of commission. Then when the company pays 1 will restore their ether. I need a partner. Are you on for half the money and half the work?” The upshot of it was that several days later our wagon drove around the city and the people next morning saw a black patch in place of each street light. That evening the streets were in darkness. The light company received a letter telling our scheme and what was expected of them. But needless to say they did not sec it our way. The people were appealed to ami feeling became intense. But our resources were not exhausted. The wagon next night pumped out a sheet over the main street from one side to the other, which with the buildings formed a veritable tunnel tor some distance. This enraged the people so that a small riot was iu force. But still no money. Then came that last night when our machine was discovered in the act of pumping another tunnel. The people seemed to explode with rage! A howling crowd gathered in the darkness and surrounded us. Mthough little was to be seen, the impression made by them is still with me with sickening force. At that time I considered it wise to say good-bye to Mother Earth. Mere sudden death would not satisfy those fiends. They lashed us on top of our wagon and paraded the dark, disturbed streets. Then they turned down the slope and. lashing the horses to a fury, drove for the ri cr. In an instant we were over the dock and into the cold Mississippi. But now I am glad that the river was cold. It brought me to my senses and I discovered that, in the darkness. I had not been properly tied. I managed to free myself just before the machine finally went to 130 the bottom. Where Franck was I could not tell. I dove to find him. but his seal was empty. I floated down river on a Imard ami finally felt safe enough to land. 1 hope Rampolli did the same. He has never appeared. however, and is probably dead; for he could not swim. He and his wonderful secret arc at present in the land of the unknown. Whoever rediscovers it can make a fortune, if he uses the secret rightly. F. L. K. ’o8. VA'MX Off THE (MAN WHO WASN'T There was once a Galoot who thought lie was It. He had been a Freshman at a College and thot he Knew it all. but he Didn’t. Xot on your Tintype. He went to a Tech school and Tried to Teach a select Few how to be College men like Himself. But he picked out the Wrong ones, though they Were about his Speed. They didn’t Pan out. He thought it an Insult when the Professors asked him to Do a Problem, lie had been to a College! The Idea of giving him a Problem in Algebra! Fie! He couldn't Do them anyway, he always got Done. The Teachers said it was Hard on the College he came from, but he Never knew it. He was his Own Ideal college Man. He wore a Plaid Crepe on his Sleeve and Smoked Bull Durham.

Moral: Don't get a Swelled Head. 131 W. W. S.. o8. itywr ¥ {S SS� V , , The sunlK-ams were chasing each other through the window screens of the little white house. They made their way to the floor, where their race ended abruptly. How lively everything seemed this bright July morning! Nothing appeared to Ik- still. The flics darted back and forth beating their wings against the screens trying to find an entrance to the room. The screen door bangs, and a noise, as though a young colt had been let loose, is heard in the hall. Back flies the kitchen door, and a 1k� v of sixteen crosses the room in two jumps, ami then dances around it with the morning paper as a partner. Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah!” he cries, and throwing his arms around his mother whirls her around. Just think, mother, 1 have passed. Four years of high school and then for college life. Isn't that the program, mother? Now hurry up and say yes. I know you want to, although”— “Say. mother, you don't seem a bit glad to hear that a fellow has passed all his examinations. What's the matter? Have you a headache, and is my chatter making it worse? “No. Phillip,” she answered, “my head is not aching.” She went on with her work. Phillip was puzzled. I Ie had never seen his mother act this way before. Silence reigned in the kitchen for a time, when his mother, suddenly turning round, said, in a harsh voice. “Phillip, your father and I have decided that it is all nonsense to lay out so much money for l ooks. especially when you do not need an education to get through this world. “But. mother — She waved her hand impatiently, and then continued: “Your father and I never went through the common school, let alone a high school, and it seems to me that we can hold our head up as high as those who went through a dozen of schools. Phillip grew i� lc as he heard his mother’s concluding word. He knew it was useless to argue with her. for when she once said a thing she meant it. 132 i Ic gave her one longing look, turned, and went siowly front the room. Could this boy, who so wearily climbed the stairs, be the young romp who. but a few moments before, danced into the house? On reaching his room he leaned against his beloved bookcase, while the tears coursed down his cheeks, and his whole body shook with emotion. All day he stayed in his room. When any of the family came to the door and called him. he did not answei. Finally his mother, becoming angry, declared that she would let him stay there till he was ready to come out of his own accord. The hours crept slowly for the poor boy, and as the moon, in all her glory, |K-cj)c l above the treetops. a sound floated to him on the night breeze, a call that he had answered so readily time and again. Could that figure in the chair be a statue? Surely, it could not Ik- a mortal, or it would answer that merry whistle, and that Hi. Phil! Oh. say, Phil, hurry up and come out. As the sound reached him his head dropped lower and lower, but he made no attempt to answer the cheery call. Next morning when he ap] cared among the family he was scolded for being sulky. His mother, in a complaining voice which she had never used ln-fore. begged her husband to whip Phil. Because. since he was going with that Bill Thompson, he did not listen to anything she had said, and just because Bill was going to high school. Phil thought that he should go too. And you know, father, she continued, you never had what you could call an education, and so your children do not need any either. Now, mother”— Father. I have told him that lie shall not go to high school and you're not to upset any of my plans. Do you understand ? Mr. Brown said in a meek voice. Very well, mother, have it your own way. I have nothing to say.” And, indeed, if lie had anything to say it would have been useless for him to say it. for if there was anyone in the household that she ruled, it was Mr. Brown. Day after day passed, but no change was seen in Phil. His sisters waited patiently for Phil's own bright self to return, but instead of that a sad-eyed boy joined the home circle. Never was he seen without a lxx k in his hand, although, as his younger sister noticed, he never turned a page- 133 )11C day. Incoming tired of seeing him stare at one page for an hour, and being anxious to hear his voice again, for he never took part in their conversations, she said. Phil, what are you reading? lie started, as one awakened from a dream, looked puzzled and said, I don't know,” and then relapsed into his former mood. 'tears have ] assed. Many changes have taken place in the family. The girls, now young women, have ignored their mothers wishes and have rented a larger and more fashionable house. Often the poor old mother will try for hours to gain some look or sign of recognition from that wasted form who occupies a rocking chair in a back room. The great tears find their way down her furrowed checks, as she thinks of what might have l cen. if she had not been so mean about a few paltry dollars for books. As she looks l ack over those last ten years of her life, she imagined what she would have done if she had let Phil finish his education. He would have been ahead of Bill Thompson. Xo. Bill wouldn’t have taken the first honor and the scholarship, if Phil had gone to high school.” she would say to herself proudly. Her heart nearly broke when Bill came home during his first college vacation. Oh! if she could have left the room when he began to tell of his and of other jicople's experiences at school. But now. she looks at her son. The wind seems to Ik sighing, “T«x I-ate. .. I). R., 'oS. M M h ’H jJ M 134 AI Iero ero v ti ie Lower Ranks The tragical scenes, so common in our theaters today, will, it well presented, arouse our sentiment and interest to a pleasing degree, but it is only the true scenes from real life that cause our hearts to beat the faster, make a thrill of excitement shoot through every nerve, and arouse our finer feelings of sympathy and regret. Such scenes occur almost daily in our large cities; frequently causing the proud and rich to humbly thank a poor lK'iicfactor, and sometimes, though not always, transforming a child of degradation into an honored hero. In my opinion, a hero of the lower ranks deserves more praise than any other; whether this be so or not in this particular case I am about to narrate you may judge for yourself. Three years ago. while on a journey from Philadelphia to Chicago, I had occasion to stop in Pittsburgh ior a few hours. Not having any special place to which 1 might go. I decided to walk around and sec some of the city. I strolled leisurely up Penn avenue, intending to go a few squares and return by another route. I had not gone far. however, until I noticed a middle-aged gentleman in front of me, with whom was a child, a small girl, of perhaps seven years. The little one, every now and then, would leave the side of her father (for such the man proved to lie), and running forward eagerly would gaze with great pleasure and delight into the display windows of the stores and shops. Suddenly the girl’s father, evidently seeing a friend, crossed the street to greet him, thoughtlessly leaving his little daughter gazing at the fascinating display in a jewelry shop, unaware of her parent’s departure. Finally, turning around to show her father some interesting thing which she had just discovered, she becomes aware, for the first time, of his absence: gazing fearfully up and down the street, tears trickling slowly down her cheeks, she at length discovers her father across the way, and immediately runs toward him, disregarding an oncoming trolley car a short distance off. All would have been well had she not. when part way across. trip| ed, and striking her head on the hard j avcmcnt rolled on the track in front of the fast approaching car. The father and friend see the child’s danger; so do the people who now stop and gaze; even a policeman, gripping tightly the arm of a ragged prisoner, looks helplessly on. recognizing the real clanger of the child's position. 135 The people seem suddenly transformed into stone; they cannot move or raise a hand to aid the child. The father moans, a young girl screams, a woman faints, and an elderly man in ministerial garh mutters a hasty prayer; but moaning, screaming, fainting, and praying arc of no avail; the car comes swiftly on; nothing but a miracle itself can save the child; she is doomed to----but no. from the side of the officer jumps the ragged pris- oner from whom the policeman had released his grip in the moment of universal helplessness; one bound takes him to the side of the girl: he gathers her up in his shackled arms with difficulty----one moment more and both will be safe, but ah! too late! the car is on them; those who look on close their eyes and hold their breath A grinding of brakes—a dull thud—a scream—a crushing of bones, is heard: the car stops and all is over. The people o| en their eyes: a shout of joy goes up from every throat, for they see the child laying uninjured alongside the track where it had so miraculously been Hung at the last moment. The father gathers up his daughter and affectionately kisses her. rejoicing at her incomprehensible escape. Hut now. where is the officer’s prisoner, the only man who. disregarding life, dared fling himself into an almost certain death that he might save a child unknown to him. Where is he? The crowd, now that the girl is safe, turn their attention toward her rescuer. From beneath the wheels, crushed, bleeding, and torn, mangled almost beyond recognition, they draw his body. It is indeed a sorry sight, a sight which brings tears to strong men's eyes; makes women quake with fear, and arouses dormant pity within the breast of each lieholder. The ambulance is called and the remains of the unknown hero arc taken to the morgue. Many a glance of pity and rcs| cct is cast on the fast disappearing vehicle. The father moves off with a thankful heart to catch a home-bound car; the policeman stands gazing vacantly in the direction of the morgue, |x ndering over the unknown power which makes our destiny so uncertain, for where want had given him a jxx� r. degraded prisoner, death a minute later had robbed him of an illustrious hero. The other people, who have viewed this thrilling sight. de| art for their homes, spreading as they go. the fame of an unknown hero from the lower ranks. 136 “Well, Tom, as your genius lias not yet been christened and a baptism of some sort of purjiosc may help along the process. I'm going to send you to college. Perhaps in time you may Ik1 able to beget an idea, and relieve me from the ] aiuful suspicion that brains have become obsolete in the family.” The author of these pungent remarks was the stern head of the house of Saxton, ancient and highly honorable, but entirely unromantic and unsentimental. It had never been the custom in our family to encourage the vanity of any of its members. Certain it was that it had always been impressed upon my youthful mind, since I was old enough to appreciate the gravity ot the reasoning which lead thereto, that in the architecture of my unworthy self, the upper story had been but imperfectly equipped; probably because 1 thought otherwise, and an occasional cold application was deemed beneficial to a possible enlargement in that region. In the first fever of adolescence, I had cherished the conviction that under moderate pressure my mental laboratoiy was able to compound a product that would not immediately evaporate upon exposure. But my efforts had never excited any mad enthusiasm in the family circle: iti fact they were received with more or less compassionate mockery, that crippled my creative |X wers and left my soul haunted bv spectral aspirations that dared not clothe themselves in the flesh of speech. But to conclude this tiresome autobiography, which threatens to get beyond control, I hasten to record that in pursuance of the delicate suggestion of tile-aforesaid captain of my temporal welfare, I went to college. The details of my initiation into university life arc unimportant except to myself. I applied myself with reasonable diligence, for I felt a real pleasure in my work despite the pessimistic estimate of my abilities that prevailed at home, and besides I wanted to prove to my skeptical relatives that my skuli was not a practical joke of Nature’s. While winning no medals nor prizes. I maintained a very creditable “stand in my classes, much to the very frankly expressed astonishment of the “governor.” He even communicated directly with the Dean, for fear I was humbugging him with artistically embellished reports of my scholarship. 137 Upon official confirmation, his inflexible sense of justice manifested itself in the form of a laconic letter of approval, containing an eloquent check for one hundred dollars, which lie doubtless estimated to be the value of my intellectual prowess. The unrestraint of university life, the friction of diverse temperaments, and the release from a painful sclt-consciousness. seemed to shake the ingredients of my character into a new and improved combination. I was not in any sense a ‘'grind. On the contrary, my instincts thus unfettered were decidedly gregarious and I was fond of athletics. Blessed with a sturdy physique, a heritage of the house of Saxton. 1 became an appreciable stellar magnitude on the Freshman football team and in the boat. After a prc|� aratory course in broken bones, strained ligaments and other experiences accessory to a somewhat “strenuous life. I became eventually captain of the university team, and as a consequence of the jx ssession of this twenty-two calibre immortality. 1 discovered my chum. He bore the undemonstrative name of Sears, which by virtue of the alphabetical process of reducing Freshmen to their lowest common denominator, located him next to me in class room and chapel. He was a big. broad-breasted, | owcrful looking fellow whose rear in the event of a class rush would be a position of pronounced advantage. His face was of the sort that admits of easy interpretation; firm, ingenuous and intelligent, to which a pair of gray-blue eyes, iridescent with the glow of perfect health and a little of what Germans call schwarmerei, lent a generous illumination, withal a goodly countenance. AH this detail I had idly elaborated in the vain efforts to dispel the ennui that possessed my soul in chapel and while in mathematics I yearned for inspiration, or in lieu of that, for the gift of tongues wherewith I might tell an ornate and plausible falsehood, that the professor would believe. We had exchanged but the most casual commonplaces, and our intimacy had never surpassed the formal intercourse of the class room. After my apotheosis in athletics. I liethought myself immediately of Sears, what a power he would l� e in the line. and I wondered that he had never shown any ambition to set his foot upon the neck of an op| onent. and grind him into the face of nature. In university athletic polity it is not customary for Mahomet to go to the mountain, but it so happened that a quite unusual scarcity of football material that year threatened to seriously impair the athletic standard, to maintain which was a solemn obligation upon every student, far more imperative than the welfare o? his immortal soul. The soul of the average pilgrim to w isdom's fount, by the way. is much like the stomach of 138 the | crfcctly healthy human being, according to the venerable dogma of school physiologies, in that its possessor is quite ignorant of its existence. Impelled by these visions of disaster, my prestige in my pocket for the time. I knocked at Sears' door one evening and received a cordial come in. I opened the door without further ceremony and as Scars, glancing up from a book in which lie seemed much absorbed, recognized in me the solar center of the athletic universe, he arose hastily and welcomed me with a respectful fervor, that showed even Sears to be not impervious to the abandoned hero-worship of the average undergraduate. This was propitious. Don't take that chair. said he as 1 showed a disposition to honor a small rocker with my person, that's a bluff. I keep that for book-agents and bores in general. Take that leather chap there: it's got more solid comfort |ht square inch than a neglige shirt. 1 verified his opinion as 1 sank into its voluptuous embrace. Plugging? I inquired tentatively. Oh. no. with a smile. My physician has forbidden a too severe application on account of mv extreme youth and delicacy. and he swelled out his gigantic chest with a droll combination of native innocence and acquired guile in his expression. I'm a sort of a crank on phrenology, I suppose, he admitted half shamefacedly. ‘T'vc read pretty nearly everything readable on the subject. Do you care for such truck? It's all a fake, man; you don't swallow all that twaddle about bumps, do you ? I exclaimed in some disgust. Well, my digestion’s pretty good, and besides I believe in it. and the smoldering fanatic fire in his eyes kindled. Why, he went on. warming up, if a man's intellectual energy is a product of his brain, why shouldn't there l e a relation between the intensity of one and the size of the other, just as there is between the physical strength and the circumference of the muscle? and he looked as if he expected this downy pellet of callow sophistry to annihilate me. « But. said I with a ixdcmic gravity that must have, strained the chair, “don’t you Inrlieve. as Prexy says, that character is something more than cerebral vibration (I was fresh from psycho-physics)? You can’t measure the emotions with a yardstick. Why, man. they say love originates in the liver. Whereupon Sears collapsed, his mouth o| cn and his eyes protruding with mimic horror. I am crushed, lie laughed, the sclnvanncrci subsiding to a merry twinkle, I have always subscrib'd to the venerable pleasantly that a man's heart is his stomach under an alias, for its ancient picturesqueness, hut the last is a little strong. 139 And thus the atmosphere that was growing sultry with uncondensed particles of erudition, cleared. I didn't come here to oppress you with my awful knowledge,” I laughingly assured him, glad that the conversational barometer was rising; and then I took a headlong dive into the business of my visit. Why don’t you come out ami try for the team. Sears? A big fellow like you that is not a fool ought to make it easily. The situation demanded reserve and my dignity would not allow me to woo ojKMily. It was in a measure a degradation that I must be the petitioner in such a case, and I felt the delicacy of the situation. At first Sears' eyes lit up with a martial fire, which as suddenly expired or rather paled into a sort of dismay. M v profound obeisance for the tribute to my mental possibilities, but 1 haven't the nerve to play football,” he said, somewhat painfully, like a man discharging a reluctant duty. I looked at him in speechless astonishment. Strength impressed upon every feature: firmness in the well set jaw; aggressiveness in the boldly jutting chin; calm courage in the unwavering gray eyes; and then the idea of anyone but a sissy being afraid to play football anyway. I laughed scornfully. You're trying to ‘horse’ me, Sears, but I'm no Freshman. Come. now. I'm serious. and my half offended dignity lent some irritation to my voice. “I'm serious, too. was the reply; why. look at the back of my head. and he performed half a revolution, to enable me to contemplate his occipital deficiencies. “N'ot a bit of combativeness, don’t you see? 1 sat dumb with amazement at the fellow’s credulity for a moment and then burst into a hearty laugh. As I glanced at Scars, however, there was a token in his eyes that effectually controverted his assertion, and my mirth lost its spontaneity. I beg your ] ardon. but don't you know yourself better than any hocus-pocus like that can tell you? According to your process a man would need a stethoscope to tell him when he was in love: kill.” Well. I've never been through the mill. he replied, but 1 have yet to see the man with a narrow liack-head who had any nerve, and my pride won't let me go into anything where 1 might run up the white flag. The fact was evident that Scars’ opportunities for anthrojxilogical research had licen limited, but his induction wore seven league k ots and his agile logic would not have been abashed in the presence of the broad jump record. He continued: “You see. I think about this business a good deal and observe the fellows. 1 know all about them (with an air of godlike omniscience). There's 1’rant. lie’s big enough: why don't you get him to play? You couldn't do it; he hasn't any back-head either. This last very decisively. 140 This was too much, and I again succumbed to the insurrection in my visibles. That's where the cuckoo laid her egg in the wrong nest. Brant doesn’t play, because he was so severely injured in a fierce game in ‘prep..’ that he can never play again. He was the most aggressive and reckless man on the team. This rather stunned him, but his hobby cleared so slight an obstacle readily and he swept on in the vast complacency of his delusion, with the convenient demurrer that all rules might have exceptions. It was evident that his theory had attained the tenacity of a superstition with him. ami nothing short of an elemental cataclysm could shake it. An idea fell into mv consciousness with a thud. If the aggressively frank author of my lxing had surprised me in the |K ssessiou of such an article, he would have been satisfied that it was stolen goods, and would have made lucid observation to that effect without a doubt. I had been bereft of my roommate some days previous by a process of elimination peculiar to the faculty, and being now quite inadequate to the task of consuming all of my own superhuman importance. I must have someone upon whom to shed my beams. Now why not thus immortalize Sears? The problem seemed solved, for a doubt of the potency of my influence was. in the nature of the case, rank heresy. Besides, I liked Sears. The proposition was made with all the laconic and unsentimental directness that characterizes practical college sociology, ami was accepted with corresponding bluntness. The mating process in college is refreshingly unique. Sears was also gregarious and entered into social composition readily. “Although I’m a crank. I have lucid intervals, and when I'm wild you can take a walk. said he dcprccatingly. Self-depreciattion is contagious and I found myself replying. Oh. as to that, mutual forbearance will be a necessary virtue, and we can probably gaze upon each other without goggles. So I got my chum as a sort of evangelical enterprise. A week had not elapsed until I realized that I had drawn a prize. Sears possessed a disposition rarely encountered outside of the pages of optimistic fiction. No untoward circumstance was opaque enough to long obscure its sunshine. That mental low barometer known as the blues could not maintain its baleful depression in his vicinity. lie had a heart so big that it crowded his discretion to the embarrassment of its operations. 141 Three days after our consolidation of fortunes he appeared after dinner with a sick cat. whose manifold vitality he put to the test with various nostrums designed in ignorance and in the imbecile goodness of his heart, to relieve the patient. However, thanks to its generic vitativcucss, which Sears emphasized by triumphantly calling my attention to a protuberance back of its ears, the feline made a gallant recovery in the face of overwhelming odds, and having grown aldermanic on my chum's generous provision, ungratefully departed. Scars’ only comment was upon the uncompleted condition of his research into cat craniology, but lie had no doubt that the region of gratitude had caved in. The second week my leg was badly strained in a practice game, indeed it was thought at tirst to lie broken, and 1 would require very careful attention to prevent serious consequences. I suggested that they take me to the hospital. Sears observed me sternly for a moment and remarked, It’s a good thing. Saxton, that you’re crippled already or I’d lick you for that puerile observation and then you might lie crippled for life.” In spite of my pain. I took a shot at his vulnerable spot. Oh no. you wouldn’t; you wouldn’t dare: you have no combativeness, you know.” To cover his confusion he picked me up like a cliiid and as gently as a mother laid me in lied. He was my constant attendant for two days and two nights, and in contrast to the vast pathological ignorance lie displayed in his relations to the late lamented feline, his care was so excellent and discreet that at the end of that time I was fairly recovered. I had often heard the boys who had seen Scars in the gymnasium speak of his magnificent muscles. ()nc night during my convalescence as he was about to assist me in the somewhat difficult process of extracting myself from my clothing. I said to him, Sears. I've heard a good deal about your physique; won’t you lie so good as to strip for me. to the end that I may worship also? Why. sure. was the calm response, without the slightest hesitation of reluctance, if you would like to sec what sort of an animal you have adopted. I le stepped into his bedroom and reappeared in a few moments in the costume inaugurated by our illustrious first jxirents. I gave a low whistle of astonishment. My eyes, long accustomed to athletic figures, had never beheld such magnificence before. It might have been Hercules in Youth. The huge muscles that wound their sinuous way along that mighty frame formed a poem in practical dynamics; an epic poem. He smiled at my eloquently mute admiration. 142 “Look pretty strong, don’t I? said he. lazily stretching his massive arms. “It's a shame now. isn't it. that this physical outfit didn’t fall to some fellow with spirit enough to use it. I'm afraid I'm carrying more borrowed capital than I can pay interest on. “Oh, Scars, don’t talk such rot as that, you weary me; besides, it's rank blasphemy to traduce a spirit that inhabits a temple like that. I was getting a little maudlin in my intense admiration for physical perfection. Why, man. you are the only fellow I know that's fit to Ik1 trusted with a machine like that. You'll know yourself better some of these days. I prophesied confidently, but my faith faltered nevertheless. I had not yet abandoned the field to Sears' hobby, but my armament was apparently inadequate to success in the campaign. I fairly yearned for a catastrophe. something that would shake the nonsense out of him. I could have welcomed with effusion riots, revolutions. anything subversive of the inane sobriety of things in general. I was lounging in my easy chair one evening after dinner, alternately wishing the football season were ovci that I might solace my soul with a pipe and indulging in one of these unrefreshing spasms of anarchy. I was threshing over again my already winnowed harvest of ideas, hoping vet among the sparse gleanings to discover the hardy germ that could live in his abandoned soul, when I heard a heavy, somewhat unsteady step upon the stair. Before 1 could even conjecture the character of this doubtful visitation, the door was unceremoniously kicked open and my chum appeared, his broad shoulder adorned with a street urchin of perhaps ten gentle summers and decidedly typical of the genus. I had already ceased to marvel at any event for which Scars formed the motive, and so inquired in a voice quite devoid of emotion, “Where did you get it ? “Oh. down here in the park. I’oor little devil’s neatly starved; says lie hasn't grubbed for three days, and by Jove he looks it. The evidences of emaciation were not appalling, but I contented myself with further dispassionate inquiry, May I hope to be initiated into the plans of this philanthropic enterprise? “Simple enough. his eyes were twinkling now. as he | crceivcd that I was secretly disgusted, “fill him with carnal enjoyment, and put him to bed for his soul’s sake, and presently load him up again and rcixrat the process until his skin cracks. What do you think of it? Can you offer any suggestions that would embellish the execution?” I considered the insolence of the last remark and ostentatiously ignored it to Scars' hardly repressed delight. 143 I suppose you'll surrender your bed to the indigent young brother and sleep on the floor.' said I irritably, in spite of my resolution to preserve a calm exterior. “Xo. I think I'll sleep on the window seat: it’ll be great this warm night.” Yes. divine,” 1 snorted; “Sears. I must see I)r. Scott about you: I'm afraid you're getting fatty degeneration of the brain.” He laid back his head and laughed the thunderous roar of the innocent ami light-hearted, and I laughed. u x I couldn't help it, mad as I was. “Go take a walk, Saxton, and get the wind off your ’ittle tummy;’ it will improve your social value.” 1 saw the futility of trying to pierce Sears' armor of amiable obstinacy and went out to swear into the calm depths of the starry heavens, where it would do no harm and relieve the pressure. The kid slept in Scars' bed verily and Sears reposed in majesty upon the window seat, where he slept the fathomless sleep of the guileless and undyspcptic. The next morning he brought his hopeful protege enough breakfast to gorge an ox. but it did not seem to embarrass his digestive “plant | erceptibly. I reflected solemnly upon the spectacle, that considering the prompt elasticity exhibited by the youngster's hide the accomplishment of Sears' benevolent design of cracking it lay in the remote future. When cha|K'l hour arrived I meekly iiuptired what in his all-wise purpose he intended to do with his evangelical enterprise, while wc performed our vicarious devotions. Why, leave him here; he hasn't enough ‘veneration’ to enjoy Prcxv's delivery. This in a flippant tone, ballasted with more or less spurious gravity. “You surely, even in the benighted simplicity that graces you. don't intend to allow that little bedouin to roam these rooms at will, during otir pious pilgrimages? Don’t you know that gratitude is impossible on a full stomach ? “That's all right, my boy. I've taken the precaution to examine his head. He wouldn't steal a match. His ‘secretiveness' is very small. was the reply, delivered with a solemnity that was ravishing. I curled upon the window scat and laughed tearfully, as I imagined the urchin undergoing this scientific manipulation. How Sears rejoiced over this peg upon which to hang out his theory, which needed an airing badly of late. When, admonished by the bell, I emerged from my hysterics, Sears had gone doubtless in disgust. 144 I took precaution to put a lock between my valuables and the stolid object in the best chair, where the prodigy of honesty with the phenomenal cranium, sat lethargically puffed out like a boa-constrictor, that had recently swallowed an ox. Heforc I left the building I exhorted the sweep to keep an eye on the little beggar, and if he showed a disposition to migrate, to anchor him until my return. The exhortation was made impressive with a quarter. I chuckled to myself over the fact that Scars would doubtless receive a valuable object lesson. When 1 reached my place in chapel, there he was, sitting in serene complacency, absurdly confident of his scientific acumen. After the exercises I hastened back to find, quite according to expectation, the sweep stoically seated upon our whilom guest. He held him while I explored the recesses of his intricate garments with interesting results. Xo rank amateur. this. Sears' watch and chain, which with sublime credulity and shameless effrontery to the fates, he had designedly left upon his dresser, scarf pins, trinkets, some loose change, in fact everything movable and conccalable rewarded my search. Just as I had exhausted resources of this thesaurus. Sears appeared. 11c stopped in amazement and in voiceless consternation viewed the plunder, nor did he open his mouth when I lifted the culprit by the collar and by a scientific “punt.” which surpassed anything I had ever achieved upon the football field, passed the young man between the door posts for a goal.” As he mounted the steps, ruefully bearing his recovered assets. I heard him mutter repeatedly, Well, I'll lx- durned. When after some little time 1 sought the room. Sears was apparently absorbed in his books, but I observed with satisfaction that they did not Ix-long to the genus phrenologicus, so to speak. As comment was quite super-fluous and the mute result had been so nobly eloquent, lie was left in |x‘acc, and then, besides, I did not care to fool with the buzzsaw. Some days later a very perceptible veneering of dust on those volumes dedicated to human gullibility, proclaimed their innocuous desuetude. and I took courage. The aforesaid dust being the sweep’s delicate method of reminding us that he had not yet been salted. Footlxall hail not been even mentioned since we cast our lots together. I did not want to alarm my quarry and impatiently waited for “something to turn up. Meanwhile the team was in a critical condition. One of our 145 best linemen had been laid up and the substitute was a sorry performer. I groaned in spirit as I thought of churn’s” magnificent physique and his magnificent delusion. Lost in these harassing reflections. I was moodily staring out of the window, when 1 was abruptly jerked out of my abstraction by the question from Sears: Sav, Saxton, when do you practice ' My spirits rose with a jump, but 1 replied carelessly, Three o’clock; won’t you come out once and give us the inspiration of your lordly presence? I may go out if I get time, but as to the inspiration, if you have any you'd better take it with you, for I might not pan out as an inspirer.” No more was said, but a little leaven of common sense seemed to Ik at work, and all he needed was a good, rough jolt, mentally, to shake up his ideas and give them a chance to recrystallize. That afternoon my eager eyes soon detected Scars' presence. 1 le had never appeared on the field l efore. i believe lie was always a little fearful, secretly, of the tensile strength of his theory, and he cherished it with a jealous care that did not even shrink at self-humiliation. I kept my eye on him. for I anticipated results when things got lively. As the practice grew hotter and the crash of contending bodies increased in emphasis. Sears kept edging toward the side lines and from my position on the field I could sec his eyes dilating with a lust for battle, that I had observed sleeping in those calm, gray depths long before, or at least thought 1 had. Once lie was almost upset by the charging warriors, so close had he crept to the swaying forms and so indis|K scd was he to yield the right of way. Once 1 thought he was going to tackle the whole team single handed and alone. I of course was highly elated, and to intensify his evident excitement, urged on the writhing mass. That evening I caught Sears somewhat surreptitiously poring over a football guide. Vhereui on I went out into the hall and lavished several caresses upon myself. The next day the lialloon collapsed. Sears was too busy to see the practice and his smitten theory got its second wind and blew out the smouldering flame. However. the end drew near. That same night we had retired to our respective bedrooms, preparatory to the courtship of the drowsy god. when Scars' voice summoned me to the window overlooking the city. The heavens were drenched with breakers of lurid light, that surged upward from the cauldron of the fire demon. That was a challenge no unpetrified spirit could ignore, and in a moment we were sprinting over the “green” toward the spiral monster. 146 Human curiosity paid its usual dividends upon this occasion also and the thoroughfares were congested by ever swelling tributaries of the population, so that the fire had firmly established its sovereignty when we arrived, short as the distance had been. It was a hotel; a tall structure and the tlamcs had completely wrapped it in their winding scarlet sheet. We both stood awed by the presence of omnipotence. Suddenly at a fourth story window apjxrared the figure of a child, a little girl about six years of age, who gazed with wide, terror-stricken eyes at the multitude and at the panting monster Inflow. There was a despairing shriek in the crowd and a woman, bursting through the human wall, her attire in wild disorder, fell on her knees before the fireman stationed near us, imploring him to save her child. A ladder was immediately run up. The flames leaped upon it from the blazing windows, wound their lithe forms about it and glared at the stern faces below, as if daring them to come on. A fireman quickly sprang up the ladder, but as the hot breath of the dragon smote him in the face lie staggered back, muttering that no human being could make that journey and return. My eyes were stony with horror, my limbs paralyzed. I reached mechanically for Sears. I Ie was gone. 'I'lie next minute I saw him spring upon the ladder and mount like a squirrel. 1 shouted to him to come back, but he heard me not. 1 believe I started to follow him. but they pulled me back. The crowd uttered an eruptive cheer and then subsided into an awed and intense silence, every eye climbing with the athletic figure upon the ladder. The firemen, too. had called to him to return, but quickly realized that the senses of that lone pilgrim upon death's highway were closed to sounds terrestrial, and began to play the hose streams about and over him to keep the ravening flames at bay. 'flic ladder was burning now at a dozen points. but Sears never faltered. Me reached the top. grasped the window ledge and raising his arms swung the child upon his back, with its little arms about his neck and one of his arms supporting it below. A mighty shout rolled up from a thousand throats, and died into a sickened groan. The ladder cracked, uttered an almost human cry and broke in two. I shut my eyes and grew dizzy with terror, listening with nerves a-quiver for the dull thud of Sears' mangled form, but I heard instead renewed cheers, and taking courage looked again. 147 There he was in mid air. hanging by one hand from the window ledge. That mighty arm had defied the strain. But for his giant strength he would have been lost. Few men could have sustained that physical test, but the massive muscles had done their work. An awed Imsh again smothered the cheer in the throats of the excited witnesses of this aerial drama. 1 he situation was critical in the extreme. Xo ladder could creep through that jungle of llame to him now. He must work out his own salvation, it indeed any there were. He seemed to Ik very calmly, but rapidly, searching the compassionlcss walls. His eye fell upon a lightning rod that fortunately climbed the building beside the window. I saw him $]� cak to the child, who with the | crfect confidence that children all seemed instinctively to feel in Sears, wound its little arms more tightly about his neck, thus allowing him to use his other arm. He grasped the ledge with both hands for a moment to relieve the one taut mcml er and then by a wonderful exhibition of strength, that brought another half-stilled shout from the crowd, swung across to the rod. Slowly, hand over hand, down the almost red hot bar he came. The firemen, divining his purpose, had with their streams endeavored to cool the steaming rod and to clear him a path through the forest of llame. Calmly still and surely lie approached the earth. Eager hands grasped the child and Sears stood again beside me. jxtle but quite serene. Tearful hysterics arc not a specialty with me, but T hung on his neck and blubbered like a child. The crowd with a wild yell tore him from me and l orc him upon their shoulders. I followed as closely as I could, shouting with the rest, and presently saw him squirm his way to the ground. A moment later a husky voice whispered in my ear. lA t's get out of this, quick. and he dragged me after him in flight. Verily heroes were not yet obsolete. For a man with no hack-head, that was rather a creditable j crformancc. But reflections like these were of a calibre too small for my state of mind. We walked rapidly toward the dorm. I clinging desperately to him. lest out-witted death might still snatch him from me. His hands were apparently very ladly burned, but not a murmur cscajH'd him. I dressed them for him in our room, as he savagely refused to have a physician. The | ain yielded rapidly to my devoted, if unskillful, ministration, and I soon had him comfortably disjioscd of in bed. 148 A number of the boys had been at the fire and had been spectators of his noble deed. They congregated outside our window and cheered and yelled for Sears. Presently a drowsy voice issued from the depths of the dark bedroom: Saxton, chase them away, old man, I want to sleep. I |)crsuadcd them to leave him to his well-earned rest, and in the morning he was entirely himself. When I returned from chaj el, after running the gauntlet of the entire institution, eager to hear from our hero, I found him very carefully, with his Ixmdagcd hands, stowing away his psuedo-scientific literature upon what he called his superannuated shelf, where after a fitful fever of brief popularity reposed the chrysalis, from which the butterfly genius had never emerged. For a week he kept his room, in abject terror of the ovation he was sure to receive. Then one afternoon he appeared on the football field ready for battle. Well, w e won the championship that year, and as I saw the op-posing rush lines melt away before the fierce charges of my mighty chum. I passed a variety of encomiums upon my prophetic genius, that must never be revealed to the unsympathetic public. It is a bit of classic history that belongs to my alma mater, that in the great final game of the year. Sears carried our half-back bodily over the line, with half of the opposing team attached to various parts of his anatomy. but not impeding his progress in the least. What has my chum done in the world? Oh. well, that is another story as one Kudyard Kipling so unceasingly remarks. 149 Alpha and Omega The John of this story and of our draughting rocin was an odd, peculiar fellow. 1 le was so very silent and self-contained that we were continually teasing and tormenting him. till finally the ] oor fellow soured up into a cynical old grouch. However. 1 called once when he was sick, and found him really quite a good fellow, a charming entertainer. IJut again, he was as lonely and forlorn as dog without master, and 1 found the secret of all his misery lx-fore I left, when once he bitterly remarked, though with a mean attempt at lightness. )h. no one gives a damn for me.—nor I for him. Se simple, and so sad. A case of starvation, and one that the city | oor authorities could not relieve. I tried to talk with him, hut he would have nothing of it. and 1 left him in a temper. IJut one morning as our John monotonously jxisscd along a busy street, his listless eye suddenly caught a face. It was merely a photograph in an artist's window, but it halted him quick, and held him. too. W hen I came by on the way to the shop I found him there feeding like a hungry panther on that picture, which to me was but the photo of a simple girl, about eighteen or twenty, with a rather odd. but striking face. 1 playfully took him by the arm and pulled him away, but whirling, he fairly snap| cd at me. However, he came along, and as we walked on together I was startled, almost frightened, by a sudden burst of song from the boy at my side, lie quite threw himself away, and forgetting all. whistled out like a mocking bird. And such a change! He couldn’t have been happier. Whistling, joking, laughing, lie completely dum-founded the boys in the shop. He worked like a beaver, sometimes humming and thoughtful, and then again boisterous as the worst of us. Of course everyone was curious and asked the why. but I kept my secret, as did John. He had found his love, and the smouldering flame no longer could lie contained. Homeward bound, he went aliout to see his girlie, and oh. how thirstily he drank in that entrancing face' That silky, tumblv. darling hair! Those deep, deep eyes 6f unfathomable hue. yet now laughing at his wild heart-beat! And that bewitching mouth—so teasing, so tender, and so. oh— He whistled home, he sang him- 150 self asleep, and never saw hut through his girlie, his girlie. Me dreamed, and oh. such grand, tumultuous dreams! Me clasped her to his soul, and smiling, she reached and pressed his modest mouth—and oh. his heart gave one such wild, im|� assioncd throb, he gasped aloud and woke, reeling and panting in his mad desire. lie would, lie must, have his prize: and without another thought, hurried into his coat as fast as trembling fingers would allow. Stumbling out into the cool, night air. he wandered on through the dark streets, vainly trying to clear the turmoil in his soul. He started—there she breathed, her glory but enhanced by the shadowy gloom. A moment’s hesitation, a glance alxntt the vacant street, and with a blow of his naked fist he crashed the fragile glass, and seizing his prey, gleefully tied. Little he heeded the shrill whistle of the i olicc. hut laughing like a mad-man, sped onward to his blissful little Eden. Alone with her. his hot lips kissed and kissed the paper image, cooing like a dove the foolishest words. And now what was her name? Not Helen, or Ruth; nor could it lie Margaret—or Mary. Jane? Jean, Jconic, that was it. Ah. my Jean, mv Jeanie. Jcanie.” and lie couldn't say it often enough, all night long fondling his newfound Jcanic. Hut our happy John could not forget his Jean, and he couldn't come down to a draughting Ixiard. till one day, after making one blunder too many for the hard-hearted Ross, he was very shortly and rudely shaken to life by the sarcastic wording of his discharge. It was a dazed awakening and he wandered about the careless streets, thinking, thinking, of nothing now. but what was he to do? Evening came, and he found himself dreamily watching the flickering river from the bridge. The dark fog and mists crept down the river till it enveloped him. Alone, he soberly planned and mused on the future, when suddenly, through the gathering night, the vivid call of his neglected Jean now burst upon his vision with all the tender fascination of her soul. There she smiled, before his very eyes. I le caught his breath. Oh beauteous sweet! —an instant, and stretching forth his arms, with one wild, triumphant shout. Jeanie. my Jeanie!— come. he lead'd forth to her throbbing breast. The Dreamer! and the black waters received him to their icy depths. W. C. S., 08. 151 9_9 9_ 9_9_ 9_9L.9_9_9_9_9_9_9_9_9_9. _9_ vOnvth Q ines “Going out for the team. Wright?” Wright turned toward the speaker, a short fellow with sandy hair and a Latin book under his arm. hy. yes, I guess so. Wesley. Are you?” “Bet your life. The two boys were close chums and were together as much as possible. Wright was a tall fellow with blue eyes and a very determined set to his chin. He cared little for his studies, although he tried to stand well in class. They were just starting their second year at High School and were enwrapped with the fever and excitement which always attends the first football practice of the season. As they walked along they talked over their chances of making the first team and discussed the good and bad points of others they knew were going to try. Neither boy had any real thought that lie would make the team, but both reasoned that if they played on the scrub team this year and got the benefit of the coaching that they would stand better chances of making it the next year. For two long weary weeks the candidates went through the grind of practice and then one Monday the coach read out the names of those who were to play on the first team. Wesley was surprised to hear his name read out for the position of left end, but waited anxiously to hear whether Wright had made his position as left half-back. “McAllister, left-bail,” read the coaJi. anu Wesley felt his own high spirits drop considerably. Two more days of signal practice ensued and the third day the varsity team ined up against the scrubs for the first real practice oi the season. The first team was given the ball and made toward their goal in gigantic strides. Then, when within just a few yards of the goal line. Wright dropped on a fumble. “Scrub’s ball.” shouted the coach. Wright began to feel nervous and wished that the practice for the day was over, but lie was determined to do the best he could and not let the others see how lie felt. A rush by the full-back netted two yards; then the right-half was tackled back of the line for a loss of three 152 yards. Third down and six to gain. My turn too. probably.” thought Wright as he jumped to Ins position. He hardly heard his number called and rushed almost blindly around the end. Much to his surprise, as he was getting up lie heard the coach say. “Nice run. old man. Play like that and you’ll make the team yet. So he had made the six yards! He felt surprised to think that the first team had been unable to tackle him for that distance, but his self-possession returned and he really enjoyed the rest of the playing that afternoon. The next day he made several more good runs and the coach took Wesley aside and Wright heard him say. If you don’t stop Wright when he comes around your end. I'll have to put you back on the scrubs. lie felt so sorry for Wesley and yet he felt more determined to play harder himself. A few minutes later lie made a pretty gain of ten yards; it was not Wesley's fault; he had broken up the interference but the half back had missed the tackle. Kx| ostulatioiis were in vain: the gain had been made around his end and that was sufficient for the coach. The next day lie was placed oil the scrub team ami Wright changed over to the position of left-half on the first team. The two hoys were working against each other’s interests ; if Wright made big gains around Wesley’s eijd lie was put on the first team; if. however, he was unable to gain, he was put on the scrub team and Wesley on the 'varsity. Another week passed. High School won the first game of the season against Wilkinsbuig. The second was to be with Johnstown High School and both boys were anxious to win their II. for the game was one of the biggest of the season, and players were rewarded with ITs. One afternoon shortly after the Wilkinsburg game Wright was making a long end run against the scrubs. His interference bail been broken up but lie had a clear field ahead of him except for Wesley. He knew Wesley’s style of play too well to think of trying to run around him, so in desperation he attempt-oil to hurdle, but he jumped too quick. Wesley raised up. caught his heels just as they were passing over his shoulder and then braced himself. Wright went 16wn as a stone hits the ground which has been swung at the end of a string. For a minute he lay stunned, then as his eyes cleared he saw Wesley bending over him with such a sorrowful look that Wright had to smile in spite of his injuries. I’m not hurt much: I'll be alright in a minute. he said, then things grew dark and lie fainted. The doctor says you have a couple of broken ribs, one of the boys informed him as lie was being carried to the car from the dressing room. 6 «e4 « r 0 � 153 The grandstand was decorated with red and black and the noise of cowbells, automobile horns and the like, combined with checis from the students, made a din which could be heard for blocks. It was the last game of the season and would decide the championship between the rival teams of High School and Shadv-side. Hack in a quiet corner of the grandstand sat a tall fellow with blue eyes and a determined set to his chin, but his cheeks and lips were very white, as though lie had gone through a long illness. lie watched the team tile on to the field; his team, the fellows among whom he might have played in this game for the honor of his school! There was the captain of the team at right-half; next to him towered the giant full-back. How often he had been pushed through a scrimmage by this burly fellow! Beside him. in his old place at left-half, stood McAllister. A mist arose before his eyes. From the other end of the stand they were cheering the different members of the team. He heard it all as in a dream and yet half expected his name to be cheered when they got to the left half. Faintly he heard them cheering McAllister; he had been forgotten! W. W. S..'08. 154 The low hanging clouds were wrapping their ghostly arms about the rugged shoulders of Salt Pond mountain and coyly joining hands with other various loafers that were planning another descent upon our devoted heads. Day had floundered after day for more than a week, while we chafed at the incessant showers that imprisoned us in tltis old Virginia mansion. The sun was shining now. hypocritically to he sure, but as I watched the aforesaid manouvers of these fickle coquettes of cloudland. my Presbyterian veneer, so implacably put on by zealous guardians of my youth, was getting thin in spots. New River far below wound it's yellow coils thro' the breaches in the stalwart ranks of the Allegheny Titans, purring like a big tawny cat: a growl would have suited my mood letter. A scar in the house-wall, relic of a shell thrown front the bluffs above the river “during the wait. chordcd better. Your Hayes and McKinley did that. said the lady of the house. I was in the house when they did it. A smile went with the words and showed that the shell had left no scar in the owner's heart. Dem-agogucry notwithstanding, the war is over in the South. • A cheery voice recalled me from more unwholesome musing on the eccentricities of Old Dominion weather. A typical Virginian of the mountain region was Mr. Camper (I should say Majah Kvampah): tall, rawboned, and fierce eyed, but kindly and generous to his last brownie. shrewd withal. I low arc yo' suit, after the handshake, 1 want yo’ to drive with me up to my falnn. and see my mineral spring. Yo' don't mind a shower, do yo'? as I glanced apprehensively at the thickening clouds. “We’ll put on the cuhtains ami yo'U never know it's rainin'. Don’t yo’ go out in the rain at the no'th? Put upon my metal. I was bound to accept, and providing myself with a jug whose antecedents shall be nameless, we struck back into the mountains. The old horse was of superhuman slowness: the ancient 155 vehicle leaped from rock to rock and from rut to rut. rheuinatieally. It began to rain and a sudden lurch of the buggy jerked out a grumble about the weather, that had been lurking in my throat. Then it was that the philosopher of the mountains revealed himself. My companion gave me a cursory glance of his deep-set eyes and observed. I reckon it's the best plan to leave the runnin' of the elements to the Almighty. I used to think He needed my advice when I was about twenty, but 1 kind uh tuned the business over to Him as 1 got older. I reckon we re a mite near-sighted to be runnin' the universe. The kind uh weather we holler to the Lawd to send on our tobacco crop, might till our hides so full uh microbes that thcrc'd be a funeral about harvest time. I reckon the average is pretty good. A more childlike and bland confidence in the beneficence of providence; never breathed front saint or martyr than from this philosopher who once wore the gray. “I learned patience in the ahmy. I reckon. he went on after a contemplative pause, we rebels were foheed l wait on the Lawd. and there wasn't no luxurious waitin' room either. Army life was good discipline.” I observed to keep the ball rolling. “No suit, not with us. Vo kyant discipline (accent on the second syllabic) a Southunuh. There wasn't no discipline in the southuu ahmy. In our opinion the officers weren't no better than we were; they happened to wear the stripes and straps and planned the fightin'. while we done it.

But I was a fighter, suh. and they couldn't spare me when the row begun; mohover. I’d promise faithful to go back in the gvard house ii there was anything left of me. I was so fool ca’lcss in battle; but they wouldn't have the cheek to lock me up again. A lady asked me once. 'Why is it yo’ all are as good as to' or five Yankees in a fight?' and I says to •lie 'Madam, we are fightin' the invaders: we're fightin' for our homes.' ami he added. We were fightin' most uh the time ior something to eat. Why in the Shenandoah, when old Jubc Early was lyin' dead drunk in his tent and General Gawdon was leadin' us. two or three hundred of us in the cavalry foheed back five thousand of the enemy. Yes. suh. and lie glared at me as if expecting a denial. I was not prepared and his gaze softened. So we had the war over again, critically considered from a southern exposure, until 1 came to the conclusion that if there had been one more hero like my companion in the Confederate army, the North would have been artistically spanked. While this historian from the region of moonshine and rattlesnakes was 156 lighting his battles over again for my benefit, my eves were wandering up and down the horrent Hanks of the proud old Allcghenys. Into my agonized speculations as to how the natives cultivated their almost perpendicular gardens, would ever and anon burst the shock of battle and relieve my straining gray matter. While the battle of Spottsylvania was raging at my side, the old horse, using his own discretion as to thoroughfare, because his master's hands were busy executing maps in the affrighted air. swept (swept is a euphemism) around a curve of the mountain and we met three log teams on a path just wide enough for a single vehicle. “Time” was immediately called in the conflict and the Major faced the situation. He had been there before and to my fervent invocation to the airship lie vouchsafed no reply. “That's like a no-'count teamster: he ought o' yelled. Come up. Billy. To my uninitiated and horror-stricken eyes, we headed directly for the abyss. 1 bade an improvised farewell to family and friends and made hasty preparations to dispute my account in the recording angel's ledger. ith the court of eternal bankruptcy staring me in the face. I was recalled to things terrestial by the remark. “Just as we had the enemy livin' down the road tow'd Winchester, etc., we were nicely balanced on a broad rock, while the old horse clung like a goat to the edge of the road-way—and was nibbling grass! I laughed nervously, and remarked in a falsetto voice that it was a good joke. My philosopher regarded me severely. There was mighty little jokin’, there was some prayin’. I reckon, and a heap o’ swearin’, but if old Julie hadn't come sober and called us off—steady, Billy, let's get into the road—them blunderin’ idjits has gone by.” We lurched into the trail, while my heart lurched into my throat. We presently reached a gate and turned aside into it. I dismounted, with zeal, to open the barrier, for I had a yearning to feel the firm back of old mother earth and then I would have an opportunity to swallow my heart again and resume normal operations in the department of the interior. It was a mere impressionist sketch of a roadway, that slipped surreptitiously around the base of the hill down there in Virginia. They call every elevation a “hill , that is not over a thousand feet in height. We were so busy dodging impertinent branches, each one secreting more water than the stock of Consolidated Steel, that the war languished. The old vehicle, grown frivolous in the mountain air. did a sort of double shuffle from one side of the road to the other, diving now and then into an embryonic ravine, with all the preliminary flourish of a somersault. To be sure it would fetch up at the bottom with a groan that drowned my own. only to leap gayly up the other slope and reel drunkenly into a clump of laurel, that irrigated my spinal column without apology. The Major kept up a choppy conversation, somewhat incoherent, but tropical in exclamation points. Finally the trail debouched into a wide ravine and we 157 halted abruptly beside a little shanty that clung desperately to an outcropping rock to keep front slipping into a bustling little brook. “Here we are. suit. exclaimed the Major cheerily. I dismounted stiffly and stretched mv corrugated spinal cord. The old horse unhitched and comforted with fat ears of corn, we retired to the spring and drank. The Major had shown me an analysis of the water, some days previous, whence it was apparent that immortality this side the grave was not impossible to the Virginian. This was the spring I’once de I.eon was looking for. I was full of confidence and enthusiasm. but not so full as I was of spring water before we started for home. Vo’ cay lit drink too much. urged the Major after 1 had imbibed a quart or so. “Why. last month I brought old Cy Hopkins up hvar, and he drunk most two gallons. He was goin’ to leave down some moh. but 1 says to him. ‘Look hyar, old man, I don’t want yo’ to bust and flood the buggy on the way home: I reckon yo' vitals is irrigated enough.' When he walked it sounded like the breakers at New Port News. But it never huht him a mite. Drink it some moh. And I did. Come up hyar. I want to show yo' somethin'. and he plunged into a narrow ravine between the mountain’s ribs. I following as well as my water-logged condition permitted. Brought up in the mountains. my guide, despite his years, soon left me in the rear. Feeling that the honor of the North was in my hands, or rather in my legs. I agonized upward, in imminent peril at each step of rolling into the little stream below. Puffing like a gas engine and kicking tons of loose rocks down the slope. I at last came upon the Major, oblivious of my riotous approach, bent over the stream, his nose within an inch of the water, eager as a hound picking up a lost trail. Was the Major, gone daffy in the reminiscent shock oi battle, looking for a |K ssiblc mermaid in the spring? I stopped short in some anxiety. The cessation of the avalanch caused him to look up. His face shone like an advertisement for sapolio. the radiance not being seriously impaired by the oleaginous blur on the end of his nose. Congratulate me. suli! lie exclaimed joyously. I always 'lowed there was oil on this hyar land and my nose has confi'med it. Think of it. still. I've offu'd this fahm foh six thousand. 1 never did kyar much for money and I’m gettin' old without heirs; but with oil on it, it seems mighty ondccent to take a paltry six thousand. Never seen such a ba’gain. did yo’? He looked at me with triumphant expectancy as if I were about to pull this beggarly sum out of my vest pocket, being from the No’th. 158 It was flattering to be taken for a stray millionaire, but I bad left the vest containing the thousand dollar bills at home. I voiced niv stupefaction at his munificence, which somewhat diluted his disgust at my failure to embrace this practical donation. •Jest look at that oil.” he exclaimed with boyish enthusiasm, pointing to the stream where an iridescent film was distinctly visible, ' finest crude oil ever seen. suit. There’s a fohtuuc in that alone, to say nothin' of the spring and the slate and the coal and maybe silver (dramatic whisper) on this same land. Gad. suit. I wish 1 was yo’r age. with mild reproach in the fierce gray eyes. I laughed: “Major, if you had to take niv bank account along with mv years, you'd hesitate to make the trade. He looked incredulous. I reckon vo’rc jokin' now. Well, let's follow up this stream a piece and see where this comes from. That is if yo re not too played out. 1 disclaimed any fatigue and to prove my unimpaired vigor, started off so lustily that I soon distanced the Major, who stopped every few yards to make sure of the oil. It showered spasmodically, but I was hopelessly committed and plunged on thro the dripping laurel. Suddenly a rifle cracked ahead and my hat flew into the brush. I picked it up mechanically and stood stupidly contemplating a small hole in the crown, as the Major came ploughing thro the under-brush like a she-bcar bringing up reinforcements for a distressed cub. I was shaken out of my trance by the shock of impassioned oratory beyond the clump of laurel. It was the Major’s voice and he was saying things. Hill Naylor, yo aint got no inoh sense than a mule. Bv Gawd, sub, what d'yo mean by dischargin firc-ahms at my friends on my own fahm? Aint 1 winked at yo'r wickedness liyar and protected vo'r worthless cahcass again the law? I've a mind to shoot vo' like a dawg with yo’r o vn gun. Hill protested vehemently that he had no intention of harming me. He had heard there was a deputy in the neighborhood, and he merely wanted to warn me. if I happened to be that obnoxious reptile, that this was no sanitarium. I had come up in the meantime and added my voice to Hill’s in the attempt to mollify my companion's wrath. Seeing me unharmed, he calmed down some. Vo' done some mighty careless shootin'. Hill. Jim hadn't ought to let yo' handle ahms ontil yo' reach the age of discretion. Don’t yo' ever make no molt mistakes like that. Hill Naylor, he concluded fiercely. It developed that I had blundered almost into the still, the Major reproaching himself that lie had clean forgotten, thinkiu' about that oil. 159 Just as we entered the camp upon 1 .ill's invitation, a rainbow-lined Niagara of highly specialized profanity rolled down upon our heads. “That's Jim. said the Major severely to Bill, “call him up hyar. Jim had recognized the strategic advantage of getting back to camp when lie heard the peroration of the Major's little address to Bill. He seemed to have found something that did not please him down by the stream. He came in with Bill and made a good bluff at being surprised to see the Major. James, yo'vc backslid, judgin' by the left-handed use of the Scriptu's 1 heard. Majah. vo'd— lie began, but the Major choked him off short. Bring in the nigger, we're goin' to have a prayer-meeting right hvar: and blessed ii lie didn't haul a little old well-thumbed Bible out of his pocket and we had services. They were solemn, too. and Jim took a fresh hitch in his religious saddle-girth, promising not to allow old Adam to throw him again. The Major made a few dynamic remarks and the meeting adjourned. Jim leading the way to show us his provocation. There's the tarnal thing. said lie resentfully, pointing to a small tank by the stream. We jest got that thing filled with ile day befoh yiste’dav. Cost us five dollars, and there she goes down stream. I reckon that d-darned dawg tuluied on the spigot, scratchin off fleas.” The Major stood looking down the stream, pensively rubbing the greasy spot on the end of his nose. I reckon we liettcr l c goin'. he said at length, and the conversation limped all the way home. Anonymous. 160 Only one more week before final examinations! Knceland was up against it. lie bad gone to college not so nnteb for an education as for a good time and now that the examinations were so close at hand he realized that he had not studied very hard, lie had worked the teachers until they refused to excuse him any more, lie was in the habit of borrowing his roommate's papcis, and copying the day's lessons but this could not be done on a final examination where they would be watched every minute. lie had thought of the examinations before and now again he sat and pondered how he could get around them. Had he put the same amount of time on his studies that lie did in trying to evade them lie would have made a fairly good scholar. Hut lie had money and lie felt indisposed to any kind of work whatever. Only one thing remained that lie could think of: that was to pretend sickness. He did not like the thought, for lie had never had a serious sickness in his life, and even the feeling of playing sick” was distasteful. Still, if nothing else presented itself he would play this last card. 'I he day before the examinations found Knceland enrolled at the Infirmary and he was credited with a bad case of peritonitis. His case puzzled the doctor for he had sonic of the symptoms of peritonitis, such as laziness, sleepiness, etc., and yet after waiting a day he had not shown any of the results which should have appeared according to all the previous cases of like character the doctor had ever had. It would not do to let his case run on as sickness was loo dangerous, so he decided to give him a dose of a certain medicine which would either make the patient show the desired symptoms or—well. Kncelaml had heard the doctor telling the nurse all this and he decided lie would almost rather take the examinations. He objected in a mild way when the doctor came around hut he was obdurate: the medicine must he taken. Knceland decided to stick it out now that lie had gone so far. He opened his mouth and was about to take the spoonful which the nurse offered him when the odor of it made him shut liis jaw tight. The nurse 161 again proffered him the medicine; this time he held his breath and swallowed it so hard lie almost choked the spoon down his throat. A shudder of horror ran through him and he fell hack with a thud. «« «« . ♦ Knceland picked himself up from the door and looked about him. liis lamp had gone out but the moonlight fell on an open book on the table. He lit the gas and looked at his watch—half past two. With a sigh he settled himself at the table anti started resolutely to work. When his roommate awoke in the morning he was surprised to see Knceland sitting at the table still plugging. W. W. S.. 'oS. 162 :[Tlie Xatioij’s War School SI I RILL whistle, the last Rood-bves to those on the dock, the churning of the water, and we arc off. Off to West Point, and up one of the most beatitiiul rivers in the world. The first part of the trip is very different from the last; yon hold your breath as a tiny tug cuts across your bow, or as a ferry comes out of the slip just as you are pissing: all is excitement. Hut when Grants tomb is passed, the hurry ami bustle of the great metropolis is left l chind and you arc impressed by the exquisite beauty of the Palisades. On either side of the wide stream great cliffs rise from the water's edge, the east side is well covered with trees, their lovely green leaves shining in the morning sun. The Hudson is ever a river of mysteries: you sweep around one grand bend to be confronted bv high hills, which for a time make you think your journey must end. but there is always some hidden channel, and as the river unfolds, each new turning reveals a view more beautiful than the last. Sometimes you catch a glimpse of a house through the trees, sometimes you pass a yacht, gay with Hags and bunting, but the most beautiful of all is the vivid contrast between the dark and light greens made by the shadows of the clouds on the hills. As you approach West Point the lulls get higher and the last view is one of unrivaled beauty: the broad expanse of water, the green hills, the tops of the buildings of the fortress through the trees, and al ove all the Stars and Strips After landing you are bothered by the numerous cabmen, but if you really want to see West Point you should take vour time and stroll through the by-ways, leave the carriages and highways for those poor tourists who only have time enough to stop over one boat. While climbing up the long hill .which leads to the grass-covered plateau, you picture the many weary soldiers who have toiled up its length, the return of triumphant troops, and the host of famous men who have visited the old post: and you wonder if they. too. were impressed by the beauty and majesty of the country. The man who can call West Point home is one to be envied by all of us. There are many things of interest at West Point. lx th of the past and present. History i . made real, you see many things which played important parts in the making of our country. One of the famous relics is part of the chain that was stretched across the Hudson when Lord Howe threatened New York during the Revolutionary War. At present it is on Trophy Point, an imposing spot from which you have the lx?st view of the noble river that by its beauty adds so much to the place. Nearby is Hattie Monument, a shaft on which apj ear the names of many men who gave up their lives in the name of Liberty: it is a fitting memorial. 163 At one corner of the large parade ground i- a beautiful statue of Col. Syl vanus I haver, the bather of the Academy. and the one to whom we owe so much thanks for his jxrrscverance and success in founding our great military college. The appreciation of a few has been shown in the building dedicated to the memory of Col. Thayer, and known as Thayer Hall. It is a most interesting museum containing many old flags captured in the different wars, numerous memorial tablets, and portraits of men who are famous in the history, not only of our own country, but also in that of the world. Thayer Hall has a more every-day interest, also. It is the scene of the weekly hops which are held regularly at the Point. All the buildings of the | ost have many interesting qualities, both architecturally and in their associations. Resides the | ost proper, there is an interesting old fortress which played its part so well in our great war. I'o stand on the site of old Fort Putman just at the close of a glorious September day. looking over the surrounding country, you receive an impression not easily forgotten. The sun sinks behind the hills radiant with sunset shades, the rose and purple of the sky: the birds fly homeward and then the soft grey of twilight settles over all. West Point will ever be the ideal place in America. ■ — PAUSED a moment to gaze upon the mechanical laboratory, still and dimly lighted in the moonlight. II had come here to get my note-book, containing, besides regular notes, a considerable amount of l ersonal matter that I deemed it necessary to withhold from the public (and es| ccially from the worthy watchman). It was past midnight, but the sky was clear and the various engines could be ______— distinguished in their regular places. But. hold! Were they in their accustomed places? Why. here was the large Olsen in the middle of the lab. mounted on four test-pieces. And moving, too! Yes, they 164 wore all moving, the testing machines, the gas engines, the sliding gears, all were making direct for me. I heard the Fairbanks engine yell, between (tower strokes. Catch him. sjtoil his transmissionwhile the little )1-sen was shrieking, “Test him by shear! Then I realized that 1 was soon to answer for all the sins of the Class of 08. to Ik a victim of the unbridled wrath of inanimate steel. Hut I was jtaralyzed. unable to escape. It was about two seconds Ik fore they had me. The six-cylinder rotary reached me first, bowling me over and singeing me with its exhaust. The others followed rapidly and 1 was made prisoner, held down by fly-wheels, shafting, and chain-tackle. A discussion as to how I should Ik dealt with was all that prevented my being annihilated immediately. Every known method was suggested, from fracture under stress to hanging by the chain suspension. It was finally decided that compression was the proper thing and the pan-cake process was Ircgun on the big Olsen testing machine. I shut my eyes, and improvised a prayer. It was “Hear me. O Tinius Olsen, maker of this hugging machine. To thee I plead. I seek escape from the demon's power. Oh. help me in this hour of need. He thou merciful to me under great stress and command this machine to no longer press on my poor bones. I humbly declare myself thy suppliant and beg thee to find a flaw in this demon's steel. Ugh-oli-h. I was nearing the limit of proportionality! Hut.just then the little rotary cried. “Wait a minute. I've got a scheme. So 1 was released and the cry began, “Off to the pit. Dump him in the big exhaust.” I had visions of being thoroughly cooked in gas fumes, but was too weak to resist, as the testing machine, with its test pieces for wheels ponderously made its way to the big engine room. In another minute it would be all over and I should Ik dead, thus ] aying the penalty for all the abuses our class had lu a|x d upon the indignant machines. Hut I did not care. Nothing seemed worth while, and I was already squeezed nearly flat. Now I was going down. It seemed an awful depth through which I was falling, but 1 knew I was falling, for 1 was dizzy. In another minute one hundred and fifty horsepower would belch forth and put an end to me. Why didn't it hurry and end the misery? And where was the bottom of this pit? Can it Ik that—Oh-h, Ugh, Oh. I found myself sitting on the cement floor, where I had fallen asleep after recovering my book. F. L. K..
