®0 (E br? O many are the smilinj;. laughing eyes; O many are the cheeks with blushes fair; And many are the curving lips and red ; And many are the locks of waving hair. But smiling eyes alone are tiresome tilings: And blushing cheeks are wearisome. I think; And curving lips and waving locks! Ah. no! ' Tis not to tliese alone that I would drink. Vet, maybe. 1 would drink a toast to tliese; For now it seems such things most fair can be; Yes. drink to eyes and blushes, lips and hair. But eyes and bluslies. lips and hair of thee. — G. O. FkrousoXj Jr. 17

Still {jreater was tlio surprise when the fact heeanie known that the same gentleman was ileelared the winner of the William Barton IJofrers Seholarshi]), thus entitling him to the |)rivilege of a year ' s work at the Boston School of Technologv. So we might continue to reveal the evolution of this man. hut lack of space and time necessitates our hastening on to one .1. B. Terrell, th( distinguished man of college affairs. To him was awarded the Final Orator ' s icdal of l!)0;3-04; the l.iterarv .Magazine Prose :Me(lal of 1904-0.-). and Final Dehater ' s ledal of IDO.I-Od; so, von will not be sur|)rised to know thai lie reiiresenteil William and Mary at the State Oratorical Contest in f!)l).-)-0(i. l.ast ses. ion Dr. (larrett found he needed an assistant in Chemistry and I ' liysics, which position settled on . . B.. illustrating the old familiar adage that some have greatness thrust ii|;oii them. Ilowevc ' r, Dr. (Jarrett was so w-ell pleased with J. B. s work that he had him made Associate-Professor the following session, and now there only remains a thesis to be handed in by him before he will be declared a Master of Arts. In lOO. ' j-Ot; the associate T.itei-ary editorship of The Coloxi.vl Echo came to this man. which was filled so admirably that it necessitated his being elected Editor-in-chief of Ttie Coi oxiAL Eciro — wdiicli position he now occupies and in which jjosition ilic Historian will leave him, for having climlied to this, your imagination can furnish you witli some idea as to his accoiiipli liment between the acts. Finally we turn to V lv Wrigglesworth. ■ ' Xoiie knew thee but to love thee. Xone named thee but to i)raise. ' (ientle, w-isc, enthusiastic boy. has occu])ied every position in the gift of the students, yet his meek and unatVeclcd grace remains. He does not believe in advertising, a ])rinciplc ipiite contrary to our times, yet none the less discredited on that account. What you find out about him conies through your own research, for wdiich you may consider well invested time, the last of your work being the best. When Billy gi-aduated last year, as president of the class, a local philosopher, not knowing that lie would return, remarked. Some one will have a good teacher this year. So the story inins. aiul, if all were told, would C(mtinue indefinitely: hut if you have formed some faint idea as to the ability of these men, then the work of the Historian has been accomplished. If the meed of praise be too great, say the fault is mine and let it stand, for in four years of close acquaintance, shortcomings are more than balanced by common ties: so, if you are not answered, you will wait for experience or never know. 16
